Port of Call: Tel Aviv [video]
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On February 2, 2011 @ 12:00 am In | 1 Comment
Tel Aviv's restored port has become the city's entertainment hub, with trendy shops, bars and cafes. That it recently won a prestigious European landscape prize only adds to its appeal.
No matter the time of day, there are always people at the Tel Aviv Port. The once derelict docks have become an epicenter of entertainment for residents of the city, with bars, restaurants, shops, and a long wooden boardwalk beside the Mediterranean Sea.
Tel Aviv port in the north of the city was constructed in 1936. It closed in 1965, and then remained abandoned for 40 years. In 2000, the Tel Aviv Port Management awarded Mayslits Kassif Architects with a contract to turn the area into a public space.
"We wanted to create an "un-programmed" space… a stage for local culture, a place which actually grows… new local culture," says Ganit Mayslits Kassif, of the Israeli husband-and-wife architects team.
And that's exactly what the firm did.
With a budget of $5 million, Mayslits Kassif Architects took five years to develop the port project. In October 2010, the architects won first prize at the European Biennial of Landscape Architecture for their redesign.
In addition to the day entertainment, the Tel Aviv Port is also the busiest nightlife area of the city. This is where Israel's famous actors, models, athletes and celebrities, as well as local residents, visitors from other parts of the country, and foreign tourists come to eat, drink and mingle. The Tel Aviv Port is now a "must-see" for all ages.

The Psychopath's Bible: For the Extreme Individual, by Christopher S. Hyatt and Dr. Jack Willis
New Falcon, 1561841749, 216 pp. (incl. appendices), 1994, 2000, 2003
The Psychopath's Bible opens with a disclaimer, and the next dozen or so pages continue this theme, warning the reader about the hazards of reading the terrible and horrifying material within, which is more than a little over the top for my taste, but entertaining nonetheless. It is primarily compiled of three 'manuals' and three appendices. Nicholas Tharcher sums up the basic theme of the book well in the forward when he says, "In some ways this is a book of social philosophy; in other was it is a book of technique. Which it is for you may depend more on your attitude than anything else. Continue reading

- Phone great; instruction booklet sucks! Review by Leslie
Negative: camera button is right where most people would hold phone. Makes for lots of photos of nothing!Volumn NOT very loud!:(
Biggest problem is in trying to USE phone. Almost everything you want to KNOW, you have to figure out yourself or call/email tech support! Missing VITAL info from booklet: how to set up voicemail; camera details, impt stuff! Thank goodness ZTE support is so nice! I prefer to read this info, but at least I got it! If this is NOT your first smartphone you'll probably know some of this stuff, but I didn't. If ZTE support had NOT come through,I would have had to return phone, which I am glad I did NOT have to do!This is a great phone for the cost. (Posted on 10/30/2014)

YOu have to 'mount /system' in recovery before you can see what's on it!
I did ? Back on stock everything again now, do I dare try this again .... lol
UPDATE: I dared and it worked fine this time. Only thing I can think that is different is that I hadn't done the OTA to 4.1.1 this time (did get the update popup after a few mins. but clicked on update later). So SU in place and just installing custom recovery.
Nice one Paul

Comments prepared by the Expert Council regarding the remarks of the Ministry of Justice on the Expert Council's opinion on the 2009 Amendments to the NGO Law in Azerbaijan and their application.
12 April 2012
1. These observations concern the comments of the Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan transmitted on 30 March 2012 ('the comments') in respect of the opinion prepared by the Expert Council on NGO Law on the amendments to the NGO Law in Azerbaijan and their application ('the opinion')1.
2. The comments begin with a general appraisal and then more specific comments related to various paragraphs (referred to as 'items') in the opinion. The latter will be addressed first as it will be easier to evaluate the general appraisal in the light of the evaluation of the specific comments.
Specific comments
Items 7-9
3. The substance of these comments is no more than a confirmation of what is stated in the relevant paragraphs, except for the failure to mention the legalisation process envisaged by Article 15 the NGO Law. The latter is discussed under Items 21-24 but the absence of any mention of it here leaves unaddressed the comment made in paragraph 8 about the position of informal groupings being at best tolerated where they have not gone through the legalisation process.
Items 11-13
4. The comments refer to the fact that the NGO and Registration Laws were prepared with experts of the Council of Europe but fail to mention that the author of the opinion was actually the expert concerned.
5. There is also an indication of the different basis for founding funds and public associations. The latter are said to require 'several individuals' whereas the former require only one physical or legal person. This implicitly indicates an error in the drafting of paragraph 12 of the opinion as this states that funds also require 'several individuals' to found them. This error is a reflection of what is stated in the translation of the NGO Law placed by the OSCE's Office of Democratic Institutions and Human Rights on its Legislationonline site (http://legislationonline.org) and which was used in preparing the opinion.
6. This error is not material to the content of the opinion as there is no criticism regarding this in it.
7. The comments do not address the point made in the opinion that there is a failure to be precise about the numbers needed to found a public association but this point was coupled with the observation that this did not appear to be an obstacle in practice to the creation of NGOs.
Item 14
8. This comment is solely directed at making the point that it is a matter of choice for NGOs whether they are permanent or temporary in their formation, which is facilitated by Article 5 of the NGO Law.
9. This is, in fact, what the opinion also says, even if the formulation 'permanent or temporary' used in the comments is clearer than 'for fundamental reasons, or in order to achieve certain objectives' which is used in the translation found on Legislationonline.
10. However, the opinion did not comment negatively on the choice allowed and was more concerned with the difference between the language used in Articles 2 and 5 concerning objectives, being clearly misled by the reference to foundation 'for fundamental reasons' being something potentially different than the specific objectives set out in Article 2. Nonetheless, it was also observed that the apparent difference in the formulations did not seem to be of any significance in practice.
Item 19
11. This comment is to the effect that the need for NGOs to opt when registering to be national, regional or local is of no consequence as registering a change takes only 5 days and is without charge. Furthermore it is emphasised that indicating an NGO's area of activity facilitates the development of co-operation between governmental and non-governmental organisations.
12. The former point may be questionable given the actual practice concerning registration discussed in the opinion2.
13. The latter one is legitimate but it does not address the concern in the opinion that this over-formalises the position and could inhibit NGOs from responding quickly to fresh opportunities and changing situations.
Item 20
14. This comment correctly states that there is no need the statute of NGOs to contain information on their subsidiary branches and representative offices. Paragraph 20 thus wrongly suggests that this is a requirement and this error seems to have arisen from reliance on the text included in the First Annual Report of the Expert Council. Clearly this error should be acknowledged.
Items 21-24
15. There is no conflict between this comment explaining the process of legalisation and its statistical relevance for NGOs and that of the relevant paragraphs. However, the comment fails to address the observations in the opinion as to need for a 30-day deadline and as to the value of legalisation for NGOs, as well as the concern expressed in the opinion of the position of informal entities that are not legalised.
Items 25-27
16. This set of comments begins by appearing to suggest that the observation in the opinion that the detailed regulation of registration was not included in the NGO Law was a criticism, which it clearly was not.
17. There is an assertion that there are effective safeguards against 'illegal actions' in the registration process but there is no discussion either of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights which suggests the contrary or of any efforts to implement the judgments concerned3.
18. There is a suggestion that the reference in paragraph 27 of the opinion to additional documentation being required as having 'nothing in common with reality'. It should be noted that the comment asserts that the opinion includes requests for originals of the documents when in fact paragraph 20 commends the practice of requiring copies. It is possible that there may be some linguistic confusion about the word 'passport' as that can be used to refer to identification documents (which are required with respect to founders for the purpose of registration), although it seems improbable that those who have cited this practice are unaware of the distinction. Moreover the comment does not beyond asserting that there is no practice of requiring additional documentation.
Item 28
19. This comment denies that the suggestion in the opinion that the need for registration to take place in Baku is a disincentive for some potential founders of NGOs but this might be seen as being undermined by the planning underway for computer-based registration and the establishment of a single information network of registry authorities. Such a development is, of course, commendable but it does not reflect the present situation.
Items 29-31
20. In this comment there is clarification as to the entity responsible for registration, which the opinion had noted as being apparently unclear.
21. There is also a denial that the obligation under article 17 of the NGO Law and Article 11 of the Registration Law is not being fulfilled. It is stated that this information is published each month in Justice, the Ministry of Justice's newspaper. It is also asserted that it is easy to check with the registry whether a certain name has already been adopted by an NGO. These are clearly matters that need to be double-checked with NGO contacts, ideally before the meetings in Baku.
Items 32-40
22. In this set of comments it is first asserted that the suggestion in the opinion that minor careless mistakes or inaccuracies can be used to conclude that there is false information in a registration application is groundless. This view was based on information from NGOs but the rebuttal relies only on the assertion that there are effective safeguards against abuse, which has already been seen to be questionable4.
23. The next two comments state the position in the legislation about giving reasons for refusal, the time allowed for rectifying mistakes and the illegality of disallowing registration on grounds not specified. The opinion recognises the formal position but suggests the practice is different. In doing so it is dependent on information from NGOs but there is support for that in the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights, even if they do not concern the last few years.
24. The fourth comment simply sets out the grounds for refusing registration.
25. The final comment suggests that formal prolongation of a decision on registration is exceptional but does not deal with point made in the opinion that the prolongation period is of no consequence because of the delays in registration effected by repeated requests to correct documents and the failure even to take a decision on applications.
26. The comments do not address observations in the opinion as to approach adopted when assessing whether there is a constitutional or legal defect in an NGO's statutes, the apparent practice of invoking expediency as a basis for refusal despite the clear terms of the legislation, the failure to give legal basis for refusal despite the legal obligation to do so and the inadequacy of the courts as a safeguard against abuse.
Items 42-47
27. The first of these comments is simply a statement as to how NGOs can acquire property, something also found in paragraph 40 of the opinion.
28. The remaining three comments set out the power to issue warnings in respect of alleged breaches of the requirements of the NGO law, the right of appeal against such warnings and assertions that no legal-normative act governs responsibility for breaches of the NGO Law and that warnings cannot 'be assessed as a type of liability due to its nature of recommendation and prevention'.
29. The two assertions seem strange given that Article 31 provides that failure to comply with warnings on two occasions within a year can be the basis for dissolving the NGO concerned.
Items 58-67
30. This comment is the first relating to the 2009 amendments to the NGO Law. It explains that Article 1.4 of the unamended law did not apply to political parties, trades unions, religious associations and local self-governments because, as the opinion noted, these were regulated by other legislation. It goes on to state that the 'assessment of Article 1.4 as restrictive and vain [sic] is unclear', presumably referring to the observations about the effect of the amendment.
31. It is not evident why the explanation of the point about vagueness in paragraphs 60 and 61 cannot be understood; the problem is with the extension of the exclusion to entities assessed as having been established to carry out the functions of the excluded entities while not formally being them. This allows for a subjective assessment of the intention of the founders without any guiding criteria and is thus objectionable.
32. The comment does not address the other objection to the amendment to Article 1.4 of the NGO Law, namely, that it would force entities with objectives that are political or religious in character to become political parties or religious associations.
Items 68-71
33. The comments seek to justify the extension on the restriction on the names that can be used by NGOs to those of state agencies and of distinguished people of Azerbaijan.
34. The opinion did not object to the former part of the extension in absolute terms but suggested that it was too broad as it could prevent the use of names with a legitimate satirical or critical objective. This point was not addressed in the comment.
35. The justification given for the second part of the extension was the discontent of close relatives but fails to address the observations in the opinion that the veto power over using the names of distinguished people is given not just to close relatives but also to 'successors' or 'inheritors' and that the latter terms, as well as 'distinguished people' are too imprecise or uncertain to be the basis for a justifiable restriction.
Items 72-75
36. The comment suggests that the introduction of the requirement that the deputy chiefs of branches and representative offices of NGOs founded by aliens or foreign legal entities be citizens was aimed at improving the knowledge of citizens in the field and developing their career opportunities, as well as assisting the NGOs fulfil their objectives. However, the opinion did not object to this amendment in principle but pointed out that there was no explicit requirement to have a deputy chief whereas Article 7.5 does provide for the appointment of a chief. The resulting imprecision is not addressed in the comment.
37. The concern expressed in the opinion about the 10-day deadline for notification of the establishment of a branch or representative office is not addressed in the comment.
Items 76-81
38. The comment merely states that the amendment introduced as Article 9.1-1 determines the basis for aliens and stateless persons with permanent residence to found NGOs. As such it does not address the observations in the opinion that a permanent residence requirement, at least for NGOs that are membership-based, could be incompatible with Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights and that no justification for its absolute character had been advanced.
39. However, paragraph 81 of the opinion should be deleted as it was drafted by reference to one version of the translation of the amendments that linked permanent residence to aliens but not stateless persons and thus appeared to bar stateless persons from founding NGOs entirely, which is not the case.
Items 82-84
40. In this comment it is explained that disputes over membership are the reason for introducing a requirement to establish a register of members. No objection to this requirement was made in the opinion but clarification as to the circumstances in which there might be an obligation to disclose it or allow its inspection. The comment states that there is no requirement to submit the register to the authorities but does not really address the issue of what, if any, are the circumstances in which disclosure or submission to inspection might be possible.
Items 85-87
41. This comment suggests that a 'minimal amount of nominal capital' has been stipulated for funds because lack of finance has meant that they have not been able to achieve their goals and thereby damaged 'both their declared aims and prestige'.
42. There is no attempt to explain why the particular amount of capital specified - twenty-seven times the average monthly salary - was chosen or to respond to concern expressed in the opinion about the lack of tax breaks to encourage the provision of finance for funds.
Items 88-96
43. In this comment the content of Article 12.3 on registering foreign NGOs is effectively rehearsed and it is stated that decisions on registration are taken 'one the basis of collegial opinion' rather than one body so as to prevent 'subjectivism'.
44. However, no explanation is given as to how the risk of such subjectivism can be excluded from the role of the Ministry of Justice, the single body charged with negotiating the agreement required before registration can be undertaken. Certainly the comment does not address the concern expressed in the opinion as to the breadth of the criteria belatedly introduced for the negotiation of agreements, as well the scope for inconsistent approaches in the feedback submitted to the Ministry of Justice by other entities.
45. Furthermore the comment does not address the concern expressed in the opinion about the absence of any proper time-frame or process for reaching an agreement.
Items 97-105
46. This comment merely restates in abbreviated form the content of Article 13.3, which was introduced into the NGO Law by the amendments.
47. There is thus no attempt to address the observation in the opinion that the language used in this provision is both inappropriate and lacking in precision.
Items 106-108
48. The first comment correctly states, as the opinion also observed, that the reporting requirement for grants is not new.
49. The second comment suggests that the increase in the fine for non-compliance made by amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences has nothing to do with the 2009 amendments. This was not, however, the point of the observation in the opinion that the combined effect of the increased penalty and the restatement of the reporting requirement effected by the 2009 amendments could result in the latter becoming a significant instrument of control over NGOs. There is no consideration of this point in these comments.
Items 109-117
50. In this comment it is said that the introduction of the requirement to submit financial statements is linked to the implementation of a law on money-laundering and the financing of terrorism. It is also stated supervision over the use of grants is intended to give an opportunity for determining the directions of resources spent on developing civil society and related matters.
51. As such, these comments do not address the concerns expressed in the opinion as to the issue of compliance of the reporting requirement with Recommendation CM/Rec(2007)14, the failure to distinguish between registered and legalised NGOs and the possible administrative burden being imposed on NGOs, as well as about the accuracy of an aspect of the translation of Article 31.2-1 and about the lack of clarity concerning the penalty for non-compliance with the reporting requirement.
Items 118-119
52. This comment asserts that there was no need for a time-frame for NGOs to bring their statutes into compliance with the 2009 amendments to the NGO Law and that no NGO had been dissolved on the basis of the NGO Law (presumably meant to mean non-compliance with two warnings about not submitting pursuant to Article 31(2) necessary information within a year).
53. The latter is certainly welcome news. However, it does not alter the fact that it is good law-making practice to specify a deadline for compliance with changes to the requirements applicable to an entity and this is all the more important where, as the opinion noted, those requirements are insufficiently precise.
Items 120-136
54. These comments concern the application of the 2009 amendments to the NGO Law.
55. The first indicates that there were 73 cases of failure to submit all necessary documents for state registration but that no registration was held responsible for that. It is not clear what this means since such a failure should preclude registration of the NGOs concerned. At the same time there does not appear to be any penalty other than non-registration for such a failure and so there would seem to be nothing exceptional in the content of this comment. Clarification as to what is meant might be something to seek at the meeting.
56. The second comment is that in 2011 that 'only 9 organizations were held responsible 15 administrative offences committed by 13 NGOs' but that in an unspecified number of cases fines were replaced by warnings. This suggests some restraint in applying the amendments but gives no indication as to the nature of the offences being committed or the nature of the NGOs alleged to have committed. This might also be a matter on which clarification could usefully be sought.
57. In the third comment it is stated that National Democratic Institute ('NDI') was functioning without state registration and that both it and the Human Rights House Foundation had, after being informed of the need to bring their activities into line with the legislative requirements, submitted documentation for the purpose of negotiating the agreement required prior to registration.
58. This last comment underlines the inadequacy of the comment above that there was no need for a time-frame for compliance with the changes effected by the 2009 amendments5.
59. However that comment does not address the observation made in the opinion that the NDI had been told that it had not submitted documents required for negotiating an agreement which were, in fact, ones only required by the legislation at the actual registration stage6.
60. Also this comment does not address the order issued to the Human Rights House Foundation to stop its activities, the suggestion in the opinion that this order was legally defective and other events affecting this non-governmental organisation also discussed in the opinion7.
61. It must also be a matter of concern that the comments do not address the fact that nearly a year has elapsed since the negotiation process for the two non-governmental organisations mentioned above was initiated and that the failure to conclude it means that registration is still not possible.
62. It should also be noted that the comments on this part of the opinion do not address the observation in the opinion that:
the generally retrograde nature of the 2009 amendments needs to be appreciated in the context of (a) the problem of delay in registration remaining unresolved, particularly as regards NGOs working in the field of human rights, the situation of internally displaced persons and social issues that are seen as reflecting criticism of government policy, (b) the continued failure of the courts to operate as an effective control over both the registration process and other action taken against NGOs and (c) the reports of various forms of harassment of both domestic and foreign NGOs ...8
General appraisal
63. From the above observations it can be seen that the comments leave unaddressed most of the significant points made in the opinion about both the NGO Law and the 2009 amendments to it.
64. Furthermore the comments are remarkable for failing even to mention the part of the opinion dealing with the cases in which the European Court of Human Rights has found violations by Azerbaijan of Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of the registration and dissolution of NGOs, as well as the continued delay in executing the judgments concerned.
65. Most of the comments are no more than restatements of provisions in the NGO Law as amended, neither adding nor detracting from points made in the opinion.
66. Such critique as there is in the comments of points made in the opinion does not appear to be justified.
67. However, there are some aspects of the comments for which clarification should be sought9.
68. Moreover, the comments do show that the opinion is in error - mainly for translation reasons - as regards the number of founders, the need for subsidiary branches and representative offices to be included in the statutes of NGOs and the position of stateless persons as founders of NGOs10. Nonetheless these errors cannot be regarded as undermining the thrust of the criticism in the opinion.
69. As regards actual practice, the opinion was reliant on information from NGOs but, while further efforts to confirm this would be appropriate, the response in the comments is no more than that what is said to occur is not the case. No supporting evidence is adduced for the purported rejection of the observations in the opinion based on the information from NGOs.
70. As a consequence the general appraisal in the comments, namely,
In general it should be noted that the Opinion reflects expert's personal approach and subjective observations. In a number of occasion expert's ideas are not based on requirements of the legislation, but on assumptions or contradict legislative provisions at all. It seems like wrong assessment of the legislative requirements and contradictory and misrepresented assumptions are the result of the translation, theoretical approach and superficial interpretation of the relevant norms.
does not, notwithstanding the three errors already noted, seem at all warranted. Indeed the comments evade the principal issues covered by the opinion and fail to show that concerns about the 2009 amendments, as well as the context in which they were introduced, are not justified.

Best Times to Visit Tuscany
The best times to visit Tuscany are between late September and October and between April and May. During these months, travelers will find comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds at the major sights. As expected, summer ushers in high temperatures and heavy crowds. If you want Tuscany all to yourself, visit during the winter low season.
|June-Early September
In the summertime, the sun glares down on Tuscany, and the warm rays are accompanied by average highs in the upper 80s. This is the busiest time for tourism, so Tuscany's top things to do will be crowded with visitors. You should also keep in mind that many restaurateurs, hoteliers and shopkeepers go on vacation in August, closing their doors to tourists.
Late September-October
The crowds thin and the temperatures drop into the low 70s, making fall an ideal place to visit the Tuscan region. Just picture Tuscany's rolling hills aflame with changing leaves. This is also when many vineyards begin harvesting their grapes: Can anyone say, harvest festival?
This is Tuscany's low season, when average temperatures drop into the 30s at worst and the lower 50s at best. You also have to watch out for property closures: Many restaurants and hotels tend to close for a month or two. But on the flip side, you could steal some pretty sweet deals if you book a winter trip.
Early spring is another sweet time to visit Tuscany. You'll beat all the summertime visitors, and you'll enjoy kind temperatures in the 70s. Plus, you'll wait in shorter lines at places like Florence's Uffizi Gallery or Siena's Torre del Mangia (the city's tallest tower).

Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer and the most common reason for liver transplantation. In the United States, roughly 80,000 new hepatitis infections occur each year. About 4.4 million people currently live with chronic hepatitis B or C infection, which puts them at a significantly elevated risk of serious liver diseases, including cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. Most infected individuals do not know they are infected. Globally, one in every 12 people is infected with viral hepatitis, and there are about one million hepatitis-associated deaths each year.
NIAID supports and conducts research on each of the five known hepatitis viruses—A, B, C, D and E. During the past 60 years, NIAID-supported investigators have been involved in many important breakthroughs in hepatitis research, including the discovery of the hepatitis A and E viruses, the development of one of the first diagnostic tests for hepatitis A, and studies that led to the creation of the hepatitis A vaccine and laid the foundation for advanced development of a hepatitis E vaccine. In addition to basic research to understand the molecular processes of hepatitis infection, our research involves significant focus on the development of new treatments and vaccines to prevent acute and chronic hepatitis infection.
Although vaccine-preventable, hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis and liver cancer kill about 3,000 people in the United States and roughly 620,000 people worldwide each year. The virus can be spread from mother to child during childbirth; through sex with an infected partner; through contact with the blood of an infected person and by sharing needles, syringes, razors or toothbrushes with an infected person. Co-infection with hepatitis B and HIV is common.
NIAID is working with researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry to screen hundreds of new drug compounds for potential antiviral activity against hepatitis B. The goal is to find new treatments that will work alone or in combination with current drugs to reduce or resolve chronic infections. For example, one candidate drug has shown promise in transgenic mice and is now being evaluated in rats.
Hepatitis C is primarily spread through contact with the blood of an infected individual, such as through needle-sharing practices of injection drug users, unsafe injection practices in healthcare facilities, mother-to-child transmission during childbirth, and infrequently, through sexual contact with an infected partner. Currently available drugs cure only a proportion of treated individuals, but new drugs in trials may significantly improve treatment success rates. There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C.
In March, NIAID-supported researchers began a Phase I/II clinical trial of a promising candidate vaccine to evaluate its safety, tolerability and protective ability against hepatitis C. NIAID is supporting several studies, including research at five Hepatitis C Cooperative Research Centers across the country, that focus on the immune response to infection and how treatment might strengthen this response. Additionally, NIAID researchers have conducted preclinical work on several candidate antivirals targeting hepatitis C and are developing biomarkers for predicting progression to hepatitis C-associated liver cancer and HIV co-infection.
Spread via contact with contaminated water or food, hepatitis E is rare in the United States but prevalent in south and central Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
Studies have found that in certain regions, when pregnant women are infected with hepatitis E virus during the second or third trimester, their babies are at increased risk of poor health and birth defects. NIAID-funded researchers are testing the hypothesis that mothers with micronutrient deficiencies are more likely to experience this effect and what potentially could be done to prevent it. Other NIAID-supported scientists are studying whether hepatitis E virus can become reactivated after a bout of acute disease. Successful trials of hepatitis E vaccines have also taken place, but none have yet been licensed for use in the United States. In March, NIAID co-hosted a research workshop, "Hepatitis E in the United States," with the goal of increasing awareness of the virus among clinicians.

If vintage flying machines give you a lift, you need to visit the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum.
Located at Creve Coeur Airport in Maryland Heights, Mo., four large hangars are dedicated to about 60 airplanes. They range from a 1930 Curtis Air Sedan to the 1917 Standard J1 bi-plane flown in several Hollywood movies, including "The Great Waldo Pepper," starring Robert Redford.
Airport and museum owner Al Stix, of St. Louis, started flying with a buddy when he was stationed with the U.S. Army in England in the mid-1950s. Collecting aircraft has been a passion ever since. He bought the 300-acre airport in 1983 and opened the nonprofit museum in 1986.
He's always been attracted to planes with open-air cockpits, thin-skinned frames and wood propellers.
"You know you can collect planes from all ages, but this era, after World War I and up until World War II is much more interesting to me because machines were much more advanced afterwards," he said walking and ducking among the wings and bodies painted vivid scarlet, dull brown, emerald green. "I like 'em, that's all. Each is totally different from the other. Some hold two (cockpits); others have three places."
He and museum partner John Cournoyer are not only avid collectors, but restorers. All the aircraft in the museum are licensed and fly-worthy "for the most part."
"It takes us all day to get the tires inflated if we bring them out (on the tarmac)," Al said.
The two men focus on aircraft made or tied historically to Missouri. But they veer off the flight plan when it comes to special planes, such as the rare World War I DH4 bomber. The British aircraft, it was built in the United States.
"It was the only American plane used in the war," Al said.
Don't look for any that held wing-walkers.
"These planes are too fast for that. These can fly 120 miles per hour."
Bi-plane aficionados will thrill to see an early airliner, the 1929 Zenith Z-6A. Across the body is written "BAT, Bennett Air Transportation, Boise, Idaho." The logo is a black bat.
"They only built four and this is the only one still alive," Al said. "The pilot sat out in the breeze."
And the six passengers enjoyed cramped, noisy quarters inside.
"Can't imagine what that was like," Al said. "Maybe like being inside a washing machine."
Some of the crafts still bear signs of a working life. There's a bi-plane that became a crop duster, and others that did heavy-duty mail delivery after serving in the war.
The famous open- and closed-cockpit WACO planes manufactured by the Weaver Aircraft Co. from the early 1920 to the mid-1930s, are well represented. Lightweight, the bright red WACO JWM once made its living in the 1930s as an acrobat on the airshow circuit.
Near the museum hangars, "The Great Waldo Pepper" plane is undergoing some restoration by Glenn Peck, who for two decades has owned Peck Aeroplane Restoration, of Maryland Heights.
The plane is one of two that was in the movie, but, "this is the actual one that was in the opening scene," he said. "A girl fell out of this one in the movie."
Restorers pride themselves not only on making a plane look good and accurate to its period, but air-worthy.
Wiping his hands on a cloth, Glenn said he had been working for a week on duplicating the paint color of the aircraft. But that's not as hard as trying to get the engine to turn over.
"You know, there's no manual for it," he said with a sigh of the plane that was also flown in "The Rocketeer."
Ask Al about a special moment flying one of these vintage planes and he'll probably mention the maiden flight of a restored 1916 "Jenny," built by the Canadian Aeroplane Co. It was also known as Canuck. It's one of only two known to be in working order.
He landed it on one of the airport's two grass runways.
"... A nudge here and there seems to keep the old girl going in the general direction you want," he said of flying it.

VCSU Women Beat Presentation
The No. 13 Valley City State University women's basketball team had its highest scoring game of the year Tuesday with a 93-54 win at Presentation College in Aberdeen, S.D.

Colombian Peso Falls on Speculation for More Currency Measures
March 1 (Bloomberg) -- Colombia's peso fell, ending five straight days of increases, on speculation policy makers may take additional measures to ease gains in the local currency after Brazil escalated efforts to stem a rally in the real.
The peso fell 0.1 percent to 1,769.25 per U.S. dollar, from 1,767 yesterday. The Colombian currency has advanced 10 percent in the past three months, the best performer among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Brazil today imposed a levy on foreign loans and bonds that mature in three years or less. The 6 percent tax, which takes effect immediately, was previously applied to foreign borrowing of up to two years, according to a decree published today in the official gazette. The South American country is ready to take more measures to stem a rally in the real, Finance Minister Guido Mantega said.
Brazil's move is "leading to generalized nervousness in the currency market in Latin America," said Camilo Perez, head analyst at Banco de Bogota SA, the country's second-biggest bank. "Some may be speculating that if more measures were taken in Brazil, other countries in the region may follow suit."
In a bid to ease gains in the peso, Colombia's central bank said Feb. 24 it will extend a program of daily purchases of a minimum of $20 million to at least Aug. 4, from the initially announced minimum three-month period.
The yield on Colombia's 10 percent peso debt due July 2024 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 7.34 percent, according to the central bank. The price rose 0.136 centavo to 121.066 centavos per peso.

Fate/Zero's night of strategems certainly did not disappoint – as result of the events transpiring last episode, this one arrives packed with all manner of battle from servant on servant to master versus master.
Everyone is now well acquainted with the fact Caster has gone mad – or rather, he's been so from the start. His murders are entirely of no relation to the Holy Grail Wars, instead they're merely a personal thirst for blood in order to satisfy his sadistic fetishes which his master happens to also share. Since his encounter with Saber and mistakenly believing her to be Jeanne'd Arc, Caster has dropped interest in all else – rampantly abducting children at the expense of exposing himself, murdering them without any purpose save for enticing Saber's angered attention.
As this is clearly an issue, Kirei's father, the judge of the Holy War, calls for the cooperative elimination of Caster – offering in exchange, an invaluable command seal. These allow for a master to forcibly bring their servant to complete an action foolproof and without fail – that is unless their servant finds them physically unable, such as for example, meeting death. Of course however, these unshakable commands are priceless to every master – more specifically, to a master who may have had to waste one of only few available, Melloi.
A fifth presence was sensed as Kotomine made the announcement, and that implies Lancer to indeed still be alive – however whether or not that is truly the case, or if his master survived alongside him is unclear.
Before going further into the thicket of plot about to beautifully bombard viewers from all directions, we're shown a comical moment of master and servant between Waver and a mister "King of Conquerors, Iskander-san" respectively. The so-called "King of Conquerors" receives a package, though we're never shown its contents – more importantly however, this king of ours is seen sporting a silly shirt, flexing his muscles in pride and appreciation towards the cotton article of clothing.
For what purpose would a king bring himself to wear such a ridiculous dress up?
Iskander states he desires to enjoy the outside world – and as he's seen with Saber, this can be accomplished if one dresses to fit the part. And just for the record, he believes the shirt to be fitting for a king – with his physique, none would really want to argue otherwise.
Waver halts Iskander as he's about to embark into the modern world – bringing to attention a problem which must be fixed before venturing outside, Iskander has no pants. In exchange for leggings which will actually fit his size, Waver demands Iskander defeat a servant. And as such did Waver enter another contract with this King unwavering in determination and eager to overcome any obstacle in his quest for trousers.
Returning to conflict found elsewhere, the cowardly character of Kiritsugu addresses his harem of females.
Initially does he insist Saber refrain from fighting against Caster in favor of executing another dastardly attack upon unsuspecting others. Saber clearly resents this – though hasn't much a choice against her master. It is interesting to note, Maiya and Irisviel appear to withhold their ideals when a disagreement occurs. Another item intriguing to keep in mind, Saber's arm remains afflicted by the effects of Lancer's Noble Phantasm from several episodes back – meaning she's still limited to only a single arm for combat, also indicating Lancer to surely still be alive.
Kiritsugu takes a breather outside – quite surprisingly contrary to his facade of indifference on the outside, he now openly admits and even appears to be totally terrified of the man who is Kotomine Kirei. And with good reason, if one recalls the previous episode, Kirei was ready in wait at the location of Kiritsugu's scheming, fearlessly coming forward in hopes of a brawl, only to be met with Kiritsugu's cowering minion, Maiya.
Returning to the meeting room, Kiritsugu has his harem prepare for the next distasteful strategy. They're however interrupted with the uninvited arrival of a serial killer surrounding himself with a group of children hostages. Caster has come and Saber quickly sets out to ensure his defeat – meanwhile, Maiya escapes with Irisviel, and the despicable trash named Kiritsugu remains alone within the home in wait of a certain guest.
Outside, Saber finds herself at a disadvantage when faced with Caster's relentless assaults – unable to counter Caster's tentacles which have her locked up in manners only appropriate in hentai. Though luckily she receives aide from an unexpected yet unsurprising advocate, Lancer. In all honesty, this battle between servants is nowhere near as fascinating as the one which just erupts elsewhere amongst masters. Melloi appears with a vial in hand and a spell spoken from mouth – literally blasting down a wall from the Einzbern mansion.
We had previously thought little of this professor, yet now as he arrives with confidence high and prepared to duel to the fullest without a fear, it's quite clear he's a total badass – something which Fate/Zero seems to have plenty of.
As Melloi stands tall, overlooking the empty corridors – a spree of bullets come fired at him, yet foolishly would one think these feeble projectiles could penetrate his mastery of magic. Only briefly does the contention continue on before it's abruptly ended by the closing sequence – however for the short duration we see, Melloi is clearly superior to Kiritsugu, yet unfortunately not when it comes to petty tricks.
Kiritsugu makes use of reality marbles to dash around and hide, ultimately prompting the final sccene of the episode to be Kiritsugu arrogantly aiming his Thompson Contender at Melloi.
Melloi will with certainty not die from a mere bullet – his character would not have been brought back from a nearly unavoidable death only to die immediately thereafter. Not only this, the episode made emphasis at the beginning of a spherical silver object which we then learn to be of Malloi's possession. This silver acts as an extension of himself – directing every motion of it through magic, and it's definitely a blob of fluid to be feared. It is what allows for Melloi to deflect any attacks towards him thus far, as well as other useful tricks such as reconnaissance and quick travel.
This sphere would also not have received so much screentime if it would fall so pathetically to a slab of lead, Thompson Contender or not. And of course for us to be sure of our foreshadowing, we're desperately hoping to see the events of next episode take place.
