Community Sanitation Overview:
Water is derived from a well and is treated. Water and wastewater systems built by BIA in 1974, along with housing provided by BIA and HUD, have provided residents with piped water and wastewater, indoor water heaters and plumbing and in-home washers and dryers. Waste flows out to a wastewater treatment plant with ocean outfall. The landfill is not permitted. The city needs a new water source, since water shortages occur and cracked PVC pipes need to be replaced.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
A new city clerk was hired. She has had excellent past experience as city clerk and bookkeeper. Soon after she started working, she called RUBA staff and asked for an update on the city's finances. She agreed that the city's water and wastewater department may be getting low with revenue as the expenses arose due to higher fuel prices and higher electricity costs. The city's collection rate has slacked a bit as well as efforts to collect past dues were not made or followed aggressively the past couple of years.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
RUBA staff plans to make at least one on-site visit to review the city's finances, including the water and wastewater department. The new city clerk, who has worked before for the city as city clerk and city bookkeeper has asked RUBA staff to work with the city council and administration to review the water and wastewater's finances and make recommendations on the directions to take to keep the city and the department financially viable. RUBA staff will continue to work with the city council to revise the city's code of ordinances, including the water and wastewater ordinance.

Security Systems: AEB or Autonomous Emergency Braking
The AEB or autonomous emergency braking is one of the active safety systems, more advanced, as it is able to slow the vehicle after detecting a collision risk, without the driver having to intervene at all in the action. This active safety system incorporates intelligent radar technology, which identifies the obstacles in the distance, along with a location database, signals, crosswalks, etc.
AEB or Autonomous Emergency Brake
Thus, AEB is the acronym of 'Autonomous Emergency Braking'. This is one of the active security systems more developed; including the novel BAS, since in itself reduces the speed of the vehicle after collision risk detection and without driver intervention.
As for this new intelligent active safety system, as well as help curb a rise in pressure in an emergency braking, also operates completely independently of the driver to prevent an imminent collision.
For this, use a radar technology to identify potential obstacles we meet along the way. In addition, this security system should be mandatory in all new vehicles in EU from November 1, 2015, along with other systems such as the ECG or the ESP.
Automatic braking
Also, the automatic brake is a device built into new vehicles, with which they detect impending collisions with other obstacles, whether a vehicle, person, or a general danger. Farewell to the violations or collisions.
This tool works by applying the brakes to stop the vehicle without driver intervention, and according to the manufacturer may incorporate sensors, radar, video, infrared or ultrasonic technology.
This tool can detect fixed hazards, such as posts or vertical signals traffic through a database location. In the case of intervention by the driver to avoid collision by a maneuver as stepping on the brake pedal or move the address, the device is disabled.
In addition, the automatic braking system is designed for urban environments to no more than 30 km / h , an oversight does not end in rear-end collision, as this system is pending in our environment, with a maximum ten meters in front of our car and if you find that we approach a strangely alarming speed brakes to avoid collision.
Automobile safety systems
- Autonomous emergency braking (AEB): A device that automatically applies the brakes at imminent risk of collision.
- Another name by manufacturer: Active City Stop, CMBS, CMS, PCS, Pre-crash, Pre-safe or Pre-Sense
- Inventor and Year: Mercedes-Benz in 2002
In short, these active safety systems make life easier, it should incorporate more and all cars manufactured, and even to add it to cars shorter than the 3 or 5 years, used to save lives. Discover the AEB or autonomous emergency braking, this video of EuroNCAP.

Water Resources and Development
By Clive Agnew, Philip Woodhouse
Routledge – 2010 – 346 pages
Routledge – 2010 – 346 pages
Since the start of the twenty-first century there has been an unprecedented focus upon water as a key factor in the future of both society and environment. Water management lies at the heart of strategies of development as does the added the hazard of climate change.
Water Resources and Development provides a stimulating interdisciplinary introduction to the role of water resources in shaping opportunities and constraints for development. The book begins by charting the evolution of approaches to water management. It identifies an emerging polarization in the late twentieth century between 'technical' and 'social' strategies. In the past decade these two axes of policy debate have been further intersected by discussion of the scale at which management decisions should be made: the relative effectiveness of 'global' and 'local' governance of water. A variety of case studies elaborate this analytical framework, exemplifying four key development challenges: economic growth, poverty reduction, competition and conflict over water, and adaptation to climate change. Current 'best practice' for water management is examined, addressing strategies of water supply augmentation, the ecological implications of intensified use, and strategies of demand management guided by economic or political principles. It is argued defining 'successful' water management and best practice requires first the establishment of development goals and the implicit trade-offs between water consumption and conservation.
This engaging and insightful text offers a unique interdisciplinary analysis by integrating scientific, engineering, social and political perspectives. This is an essential text for courses on development studies, geography, earth sciences and the environment.
"In this meticulous volume Agnew and Woodhouse…review water scarcity issues and analyze the links between water resources and development in wealthy societies and developing countries."—B. F. Hope, California State University, Chico, Recommended Review, CHOICE

Water Resources in Colonial and Post-Independence Agricultural Development 5. Water Supply 6. Water Demand 7. Catchments and Conflicts 8. Water Management. Conclusions
Clive Agnew is a Professor of Physical Geography at the School of Environment and Development, University of Manchester, UK. He is a physical geographer working on problems of environmental degradation and water management and has worked on the management of water scarcity across Africa and the Middle East. Over the last ten years he has been Head of Geography and Head of the School of Environment and Development at the University of Manchester.
Philip Woodhouse is Senior Lecturer in Environment and Rural Development, Institute for Development Policy and Management, University of Manchester, UK. He is trained as an agricultural scientist and has worked for more than thirty years on land and water management in developing countries. His recent research has focused on the interaction between political, economic and technological factors in changing land and water use, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Using highly focused ultrasound to destroy tumours with a blast of heat may soon bring relief to some cancer sufferers and avoid the use of invasive surgery. So far the technique has only been tested in rats and on tissue in test tubes, but its inventors say it could be regularly used in people in as little as one year from now.
Gail ter Haar, head of Therapeutic Ultrasound at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London said: 'It would not need surgery and people could be treated as day patients without having to stay in hospital. And it would not have the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy.'
She and her colleagues are currently investigating the technique's use for treating liver cancer, but it also has potential for curing tumours of the prostate, bladder, kidney and breast.
Their system works by directing ultrasound from a transducer outside the body through a ...

Fight it. Go into court with witnesses and documentation that it is a perfectly valid riding technique and that in fact, as you stated it would probably be UN-safe to ride a sharp edged bump (Like typical crappy city pavement) with the seat weighted.
Point out that riding a motorcycle on rough ground is very much like riding a horse and you wouldn't sit a horse at a gallop.
When you get a chance to question the officer, ask him what HIS riding experience is on motorcycles and what he based is idea that you were "willfully and wantonly disregarding safety".

Mbinga — ALTHOUGH Tanzanians enjoy the lowest electricity tariffs in East Africa, the government remains committed to further reduction to facilitate wider access to reliable energy for the majority of the people.
"In Tanzania, a unit of electricity is sold at 16.8 US cents while the same is sold for 18 and 18.5 US cents in Kenya and Uganda, respectively. Rwanda charges 23 US cents," Energy and Minerals Minister Sospeter Muhongo told a public rally addressed by President Jakaya Kikwete here over the weekend.
Speaking on the same subject, President Kikwete assured the residents that the government was working hard to chart strategies that will further reduce power charges.
At present, Tanzania generates electricity from hydro-power, diesel-powered generators and gas-fired plants. However, hydro- power remains unreliable while diesel plants are costly to operate.
Energy experts are also hopeful that the country would drastically reduce generation costs when it shifts to natural gas in large extent after completion of the 542-km gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam.
President Kikwete and Prof Muhongo were speaking during the inauguration of a modern bus stand at Mbinga Township and a new tarmac road connecting Mbinga and Songea.
The bus stand, which has 112 business stalls for entrepreneurs, has been constructed at a cost of 2.17bn/- through a loan obtained from the Local Governments' Loans Board (LGLB).
The 78-kilometre Songea- Mbinga Road was constructed for 64bn/- provided by the Millennium Challenge Account Tanzania (MCA-T), a subsidiary of United States' Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
Given the hilly terrain in which the road passes through, implementation of the project took 39 months as opposed to 27 months that were anticipated at the beginning of the project. It was completed on January 7.
During the tour of the region, President Kikwete also inaugurated Mbinga Girls' Secondary School in Kingonsera ward. The school was established this year with 60 students. It uses buildings that were left behind by contractors who were constructing the Songea-Mbinga Road.
Meanwhile, the government is about to complete construction of the 823- kilometre Mtwara Corridor Highway from Mtwara town to Mbamba Bay in Ruvuma Region, the president was told yesterday. The government has declared its intention to construct the remaining 66 kilometres from Mbinga to Mbamba Bay to complete all the roads under the Mtwara Corridor project.
The Minister for Works, Dr John Magufuli, speaking at a well attended public rally addressed by President Kikwete, who is on a six-day tour of the region, said the government is highly committed to accomplish the multi-billion shilling project. Dr Magufuli said the other stretches of the 832-kilometre road are either complete or have their construction works on progress.
The completed stretches are Mbinga-Songea with 78 kilometres, Songea-Namtumbo (71 kms) and Mangaka-Masasi and Masasi- Mtwara whose aging tarmac has been replaced.
The stretches whose construction work is going on are Namtumbo-Matemanga that measures 128 kilometres and Matemanga- Tunduru of (195 kms). Dr Magufuli said the construction of the road is part of the government's resolve to expedite development in the area.

Religious Wholesale Items Offer A Great Way To Express Your Faith
Religious art and symbols are an essential part of many people's lives. Many enjoy religious art for its own sake – its beauty, color or craftsmanship – while others seek it for its symbolic, personal or inspirational value.
Religious products cover a wide range of categories, and help people enjoy art or express their views and beliefs in many different ways. From music and books to personal apparel and jewelry, interior and exterior home décor, and even for vehicles, great products are available. And while religious products often have serious symbolism, or an inspirational or somber note, they can be funny too.
Both jewelry and apparel are great gifts for the believers in your life. They offer the giver great flexibility. Apparel and jewelry range from artistic to functional, so you can be practical, whimsical or inspiring, and express anything from humorous thoughts to soaring ideals. And the wide range of prices and styles means that there's an appropriate selection for any occasion, from small achievements to life changing moments, and any relationship, from new friend to close personal friend or family member.
Jewelry is an important but often subtle mode of personal religious expression. While many people of faith express themselves through many avenues, for some people, jewelry is their only public expression of their most deeply held beliefs. It is often worn by people with only tenuous connections to organized religion.
Books are also attractive gifts for faithful friends and family. Through either the fictional characters they portray or the real events they report, books give us the chance to investigate the meaning and deepen our understanding of faith. Choose a book for an appropriate moment or event in a person's life, or for thoughts and ideas you share or want to share with that person. Of course, religious music is well known and widely appreciated by religious and non-religious people alike. A carefully chosen musical gift - the gift of a song – may well outlast the item itself and may last an entire lifetime. Or it may be held in reverence and brought out only at special moments throughout a person's life. And both books come at an attractive price point for all occasions and all relationships
Many people decorate their homes, inside and out, with attractive religious items. Outdoor items include garden statues, flags and windsocks. Indoor items include a wide variety of art, from mantle pieces to paintings. You can even express your religious ideas with your vehicle. Funny bumper stickers are very popular. These make great inexpensive gifts for light occasions. There are many other items for your car, too.
Religious items, from jewelry to bumper stickers, make great gifts. You can express yourself through your gift to your friend of faith or family member, and inspire your loved one at the same time.

Cuba to migrate to open-source software

Cuba: We're forced to 'finance' the InternetNovember 2, 2006
Several Cuban government ministers backed the move at a technology conference held late last week. Communications minister Ramiro Valdes gave a opening keynote that advocated open source, while Richard Stallman, head of the Free Software Foundation, also told the conference that proprietary software is inherently insecure.
A Cuban academic, Hector Rodriguez, is supporting the migration to open source by heading up a development program within one of the largest Cuban universities. Cuba's customs service has already migrated to Linux, while the ministries of culture, higher education and communications are planning to do so, Rodriguez told the conference.
But Rodriguez, quoted by the Associated Press, declined to say how long it would take for the Cuban government to migrate most of its systems to Linux. "It would be tough for me to say that we would migrate half the public administration in three years," he told the conference.
The number of Cuban open-source users is growing fast, with around 3,000 in a country that struggles with outdated PCs and slow Internet links.
Other governments, including Venezuela, China, Brazil and Norway, are evaluating a partial or total migration from Windows to open source. Many city administrations are also running projects. In Europe, programs in Bristol, England, as well as Amsterdam and Munich, are well underway.
Richard Thurston of ZDNet UK reported from London.

- This Makes Total Sense!
- Socialist software for a socialist country--nice fit. I'm sure ol' Castro will soon share the so-called "free" software like Linux with his pal Hugo Chavez. So Venezuela will most likley soon follow. But once Chavez discovers the true cost (i.e. total cost of ownership), he'll soon realize he's been screwed by his comrade in arms. LOL!!!!!!!!

- Total cost of ownership is changing dude...
- The total cost of ownership is going to go down as more and more organizations and individuals adopt open-source. This is especially true with IBM creating software applications that can run on Linux, Windows or Apple. This will be one stop shopping for software applications and support with no need to go on bended knee to Micro$oft if you don't want to. I guess IBM is socialist organization too... wow, never thought of that.

(Bank of Brazil) that has been using OS/2 for so long now finding itself in the mix-up must be loosing its "inventive genius". As to why this is so, BRAZIL was one of the founders of the INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ( www.iadb.org ) and the hope was that some smart Brazilian Programmers would have delivered (created a niche) on the DESKTOP where LINUX and WINDOWS have failed to deliver after all of these years.

- Open Software Unrelated to Politics
- I don't think there is any relationship between promoting Open Software and a persons politics. Stallman happens to be way out left, but others (myself included) are just as far out right.
Poor countries, regardless of how they are run or who runs them, are perfect candidates for Open Software because they don't already have a large installed base of users.
Let us all hope that Cuba is liberated soon! But there is no need to wait until then to plant the seed for Open Software so that they can also be liberated from the oppressive monoculture of Windows we have to live with.

columnBy Geoff Nyarota
Harare — A FRIEND who visited the popular Guzha Township in Chitungwiza on the night of Tuesday, September 12, the eve of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions' scuttled protest march, tells a harrowing tale of the sudden arrival of armed riot policemen, accompanied by youths dressed in ZANU PF Youth Militia T-shirts.
They descended on the centre's many bottle stores and butchery shops, outlets which keep Chitungwiza's residents as well as hordes of visitors from the leafier suburbs of Harare, 30 kms away, entertained and nourished.
Apparently, the police ordered all shops to close at once and the patrons to depart immediately. In a situation where the Public Order and Security Act (POSA) renders it virtually impossible for members of civil society to organise meetings where they can strategise on how to alleviate the common man's plight in Zimbabwe; a situation where daily newspapers, radio and television no longer disseminate information in the public interest, the bottle stores, like the commuter omnibuses, have come to play a vital role in providing convenient and free venues for the exchange of ideas and for the organization of political strategies by a besieged civil society, while the cell-phone texts messages from one bottle store to another and from office to office.
The powers that be have become painfully aware of this loophole, hence this effort to disrupt any last minute refinement of plans for the proposed ZCTU march last week.
By all accounts the police were out in full force the following morning, on September 13, cordoning off downtown Harare with their heavy presence and thus effectively rendering it impossible for any citizen, however aggrieved or determined, to assemble, let alone march, in any predetermined direction.
The demonstration started around 1pm with people singing and dancing in the street. "It was over in seconds," says an MDC member, one of those arrested. "The demonstrators were ordered to sit down and then the riot police went beserk. They beat the people so viciously and brutally it was a terrible and shocking spectacle to witness."
The arrested were loaded onto trucks and conveyed, some to Harare Central and others to the notorious Matapi Police Station. The latter facility has been condemned by the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe as being totally unfit for human habitation. A police officer at Matapi allegedly informed the arrested ZCTU leaders on arrival: "We are not trained to write dockets; we are trained to kill".
It is alleged the arrested were "then taken two at a time into a room and brutally beaten by five men with knobkerries and long baton sticks for up to 20 minutes."
In both stations the prisoners were:
Denied access to legal practitioners
Subjected to brutal and savage torture and beating in Matapi Police Station
Denied access to relatives
Not supplied with food or water
Not supplied with blankets
Mostly kept in darkness.
Subjected to extremely abusive language
Forced to make do with toilets that were overflowing with human excreta.
The older among them must have been reminded of the fate of political detainees during Ian Smith's Rhodesia. Late that night the Matapi contingent was moved to Harare Central.
"It was a pitiful sight to see those 14 physically and mentally battered and brutalised figures appearing," says the MDC member. "Three could hardly walk or stand."
The brutal smashing of the protest march by the police, reinforced by CIO vigilantes and ZANU PF militias, served to effectively dispel any lingering doubt that our revolutionary and supposedly benevolent rulers meant business, assuming the dire threats issued by the likes of State Security Minister, Didymus Mutasa, and others had not driven that point home during the week preceding the proposed march. It is alleged that Mutasa was seen hovering around Matapi as the ZCTU leadership was being brutalised.
Mutasa should take note that this is an allegation, which he is at liberty to confirm or deny, before he rushes to his lawyers to institute legal proceedings for defamation. In any case, the mere act of hovering around Matapi cannot in any way further tarnish his already severely damaged reputation.
It was the pre-emptive action on the part of the state machinery, rather than the lack of support on the part of the public, that disrupted the proposed march last week.
Yet the hawkish Dr Tafataona Mahoso has the temerity to propose in his weekly column in The Sunday Mail, "Thanks to the masses of Zimbabwe, the mass action has turned out to be the ZCTU leaders' equivalent of the MDC leaders' 'Final Push' which, in fact, turned out to be the 'final yawn'.
Mahoso yawns too easily. In an article which labours under the ponderous title "Sponsored politics, myths of civil society" Mahoso sallies forth in his usually rambunctious and inimical style. He pronounces in the process that, apart from being mythical, the concept of civil society is a western creation, foisted on the allegedly simple-minded black population of southern Africa by western imperialists. Indeed, the concept is a creation of the West, in-so-much as democracy, parliament, The Sunday Mail, the Mercedes Benz, the higher education, which the off-spring of Zimbabwe's ruling elite imbibe in western institutions, and the scotch whiskey that they so much love to quaff, are all creations of the West.
"Sponsored politics is big business and it is here to stay, until the people learn to discard completely the twin myths of 'civil society' and 'multiparty democracy', the key mythologies used to justify the sponsorship of puppet politics in Africa and the rest of the South," Mahoso says disparagingly.
There are a number of definitions of civil society. The most illustrative is the working definition of the London School of Economics Centre for Civil Society: "Civil society refers to the arena of uncoerced collective action around shared interests, purposes and values"
Civil society commonly embraces a diversity of spaces, actors and institutional forms, varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power, it is explained. The centre's definition further clarifies that civil societies are often populated by organisations such as registered charities, development non-governmental organisations, community groups, women's organisations, faith-based organisations, professional associations, trade unions, self-help groups, social movements, business associations, coalitions and advocacy groups.
It is eminently clear, therefore that, far from being a myth, as suggested by Mahoso, civil society is a reality of the modern world, except in states whose constitutions eschew democratic values. The threat to democracy and civil liberties such as currently being experienced in our country, normally fosters the emergence and strengthening of strong civil society organisations such as the ZCTU, which Mahoso now dismisses with flourish of hand.
What is particularly rankling is his suggestion that without the assistance of the West we, Africans, cannot think lucidly for ourselves. "The ZCTU and the MDC tried to present themselves as homegrown alternatives to the liberation movement in Government, ZANU PF," he says. "They were going to meet a supposed deficit in Zimbabwean politics as defined by white imperialist powers."
The theory that political activism and advocacy in countries such as Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia or where ever else in southern Africa civil society has confronted tyranny and injustice are merely a symptom of control or influence by western imperialist powers is unforgivably demeaning of Africans. There is more than a hint in this theory that since Africans cannot think for themselves, as alleged, Africans may not feel the pangs of hunger until a white person points out to them that they have not had a square meal for days on end.
It is not-so-subtly suggested, therefore, that without the instigation or active support of western imperialists, Kenneth Kaunda would still be President of Zambia while Life President Kamuzu Banda would have remained in office until his untimely death in 1996 at the ripe old age of an estimated 100 years or so.
Such thinking is reminiscent of Prime Minister Ian Smith as the demise of Rhodesia approached. He was wont to say he knew that "his Africans" were a happy lot, or words to that effect, if it wasn't for the influence of the Communists of the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War era. The leaders of our liberation struggle, Robert Mugabe of Zanu and Joshua Nkomo of Zapu, were naturally included in this insulting proclamation. Today our own Mugabe, the President, issues similar pronouncements. The people of Zimbabwe would be a happy citizenry, he says, if it wasn't for the instigation of Western imperialists, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and United States President, George W. Bush, to be precise.
It is by resort to such debasing assertions that Mahoso now seeks to justify the ruthless cracking down by government on the ZCTU last week.
Fortunately, the number of potential readers of Mahoso's anti-people outpourings, as well as those of his paper, in general, is on the decline. Hundreds of thousands of would-be readers have emigrated in search of freedom and economic survival in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Zambia, Mozambique, New Zealand and many other previously unthinkable distant destinations. Meanwhile, the buying power of Zimbabweans in the country has been sufficiently curtailed to turn newspapers into a luxury, especially in cases where editors attach little importance to factors such as public interest or relevance.
Two Sayings of the Week:
"To the extent that speculation is a major driver of our inflation, burning or consigning these speculators to the incinerator is one sure way of contributing towards inflation reduction." -- Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr Gideon Gono. (The Sunday Mail).
"It is, therefore, the highest display of intellectual impairment by those stakeholders who wanted to condemn the Sunrise Project on frivolous grounds, missing the point that it was a national exercise carried out in response to stakeholders' specific demands, a project implemented in record time and one which averted the catastrophic collapse of our systems with attendant consequences on our lives." -- Dr Gono. (The Sunday Mail).
So Dr Gono admits, after all, that "our systems" are threatened with catastrophic collapse.

It was a joyful celebration, as friends and well-wishers thronged en-masse yesterday to witness the holy solemnization of over 70 couples at the Church of Assumption Catholic Church, Abuja, a ceremony which the church described as "Mass Wedding".
The couples, who were drawn from Church of Assumption Parish, Asokoro; SS Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Nyanya, and Zuba, all in the Federal Capital Territory, participated in weeks of marriage training before they were finally joined in the church.
The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, who was present to cheer the new couples, congratulated them for having waited patiently to be joined in accordance with the dictates of the Catholic Church.
"I congratulate the brides and their grooms for waiting patiently till this glorious day. Most of you that stopped receiving Holy Communion because you were not rightfully joined in accordance with dictates of Catholic Church, are now free to do so."
While appreciating the efforts of the host church for conducting the exercise, he advised the couples to live a righteous life by cherishing each other, even as he called on the Holy Spirit to guide their families.
According to him, "I thank God that those who were not willing to participate in the mass wedding later made up their mind and came to receive the blessings. But I pray that Jesus Christ and Mother Mary will guide their homes."
After the couples exchanged their marital vows, they offered special thanksgiving to God and signed their marriage registers accordingly.
In a chat with LEADERSHIP Sunday, one of the brides, Mrs. Mercy Nnaemezie-Nwankwo, appreciated God for making the wedding successful, and thanked the priests and members of the Church of Assumption Parish, Asokoro, for giving all couples the opportunity to be joined on the same day.

Everything you need to understand or teach Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor.
As the collection's name, the phrase "everything that rises must converge" sets a depressing and hopeless tone for the rest of O'Connor's tales. The name suggests that, as opposing forces rise, there will be a merge somewhere down the line. Because these forces are so strong, though, the merge will most likely be concussive and devastating. In these stories, the opposing forces are age, race, and class.
Everything That Rises Must Converge Lesson Plans contain 137 pages of teaching material, including:
