Transcript of "Final specific questions (2)1"
1. 1. Present the current reality of the incoming exchange non-corporate area in all theLCs that performed in the year 2011. Performance Represents the LCs that have already fulfilled 66% of their objectives; LCs that have a growth of GCDP at least 20% and their project s are financially sustainable.
2. Present the initiatives, way of working with the country, difficulties, etc. of the topperforming country in each GN on the incoming exchange non-corporate area inmaximum 2 pages.Egypt 236 GCDP Growth 189 The Biggest difficulty is to make all the LCs aligned to a certain project. They fixed this by making all of the LCs work towards 3 main issues which are very broad and can take a lot of initiatives under it. Second thing is the situation in Egypt because people think Egypt is not safe. They have to prove otherwise and that everything is going well by videos and posts on Facebook pages. Basically, constant communication done by all LCs with EPs is the key. Their growth strategy is based on relevancy of the projects that are based more and more on the external situations and that are also more concrete. The 2 national peaks are summer and winter but the challenge is to make it the whole year. One thing that commends GCDP in Egypt is their CRM with some of their big NGOs. They used to have 1 TN, but now they are going to have a project with them each quarter having more than 30 TNs per quarter.Mauritius 184 GCDP Growth 137 The biggest difficulty in Mauritius is planning and commitment of members. In Mauritius they mostly do GCDP with a GCDP-GIP ratio of 100:1. Well planning of projects to be run do not always go the way it has to since the tracking at times is also not done properly. They planned to solve them with regular meetings to track the progress of the projects and set milestones. These milestones would serve as guides to the OCP. How they should handle his/her project so that he/she meets the deadline and how to improve of the quality was discussed. This year they planned to have 400 GCP which is almost 200% growth from last year. Their national peaks for realization are December, February, June. The strong points on ICX NC area in Mauritius are: membership (a lot of members interested in running projects), society ( it is quite easy to find issues and work on them, many NGOs available and creating a project with them is very easy), getting funding for these projects take more time but it's possible.Russia 898 GCDP Growth 437 The main difficulty is to set the right mindset and then track execution on timeline by processes. They are always late with matching or raising. They could use more coaching (chats 2 per week) with the MCVP or NST, and focus on LCPs, tracking tool, supporting campaigns. This year, one of the main focuses was growing the scale of global internship. The main strategies which supported it and let it happen were:• Peak management: exact year timeline with concrete periods of main realization peaks aligned to LCs• People allocation into different exchange departments for each type of internships• Incoming exchange social national programs and projects based on relevant issues such as financialliteracy of youth, tolerance, education, entrepreneurship etc.
Strong points that commend GCDP in Russia are: JD of interns, constant projects with measurable impact, quality (satisfaction of interns), their work on content of current projects. If they implement a new project, work more at the business plan, than pilot it in 2-3 LCs. They have Quality Index system - based on survey which all interns fill in. Their national peaks are all year-round, except October and April. The biggest realizations occur in January and July because of holiday breaks.Malaysia 426 Growth 144 In Malaysia, the problems they encounter have to do with having too many forms and therefore, there is difficult to match with EPs. Lack of solutions for low peak seasons is also an important issue. Realisation peak is in November-January and May-August. However they are looking for off peak partnership seasons. The strong points are the issue topic which is very relevant to the EPs personal and professional growth, flexible time period for matching internships and very good intern servicing.Brazil 622 Growth 381 Biggest difficulty of Brazil as a country is matching in the off-peak period, around April-May and September-October. Sometimes they have educational and third-sector projects that require a high volume of EPs, and they have been having problems finding available EPs for travelling for GCDP TNs in these periods. They are trying to solve this by establishing national cooperations for ICX. In the LCs level, they have been using LC to LC cooperations. Brazil won the UBS Award in IC in 2011. However, they believe the growth they had this year is not sustainable, and they are prepared to have a little fall in growth numbers. Peaks of RE are from June to August and from November to February. But, as I previously mentioned, they need supply for the off-peak periods, mainly because of educational projects and third-sector projects. I believe Brazilian hospitality is great and a very important and decisive point of ICX NC because EPs are willing to travel abroad. During the last few years, they have developed a great knowledge on educational projects and they are now also starting to develop projects for NGO and other third-sector entities. Projects are great for multiplying impact and allowing interns to live a high quality experience while getting to know other interns from all over the world. Through them, they have learned to manage a high number of interns at once. Projects are definitely the highest point in Brazilian ICX side.Italy 188 Growth 85 The difficulties for AIESEC Italy is the realization of national partnerships. The support that AIESEC Italy offers for LCs are quality(MC TN reception standard booklet and Italianbooklet for all LCs), knowledge offered for VPs on wikis and conferences. There are 3 peaks of realization for projects National Partners for projects can be easily found. A good thing about GCDP in Italy is the fact that they have 3 niches for projects: ecology, equity, economy. Their targets for projects are primary and secondary school, university.
3. As you know, the grand majority of your goals are going to be achieved by the localentities. Based on this, how do you plan to manage the LCs talent towards theimplementation of the national strategy? (Be clear and specific).Here I have 3 ideas that I want to implement in the next year: 1. I want to have coaching meetings every month with the VPs, if I can't manage this by myself, the task will be taken over by the NST. On the professional side, I would like to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of previous month and analyze the planning for next two months. Using this information, I will create a centralized output and send it to all the VPs. This output will help the LCs to learn from their mistakes and others and also will help to align processes at national level. 2. I want to give all the LCs National Preparation, this means the possibility to ask for one training in every quarter.. Also they will be recorded and uploaded on myaiesec.net in order to create a national database required for ICX NC preparation. As a result we will have all the LCs at medium knowledge on every process. By doing this, I know that even the small LCs will manage to increase their performance. I am going to know what trainings do the LCs need from auditing the SONA and from the coaching meetings. By doing this, it will be easy to understand the level of knowledge in LCs. 3. I want to implement national tools that are going to help the LCs on their processes. Some of these tools are: Visa booklet, containing all information required to obtain visa from each country. Also there will be the National product sheet which will be a template that will be made at national level and the LCs will personalize it for LC reality.4. Present your strategy to increase the quality of GCDP Incoming in AIESEC Romania.As I said, one of my directions for the next year is increasing the quality of GCDP Incoming in Romaniaand I want AIESEC Romania to be recognized in the international network for its qualitative processes.I want to do this by implementing a tool, so called "exit form" which will be filled in by the LC VPs andalso the trainees. After this, the MCVP and the NST will check them out. The VPs will have to fill a survey that will concern the sending country, by doing this, in the future we will have a white list and a black list for sending countries, taking into consideration their involvement in the exchange process and also the quality of the EPs in every country. The trainees will complete the survey about the hosting LC. Answering questions about the quality of the projects, their implication in the LCs, fulfillment of all aspects in the JD. The LCs that will have the highest grade for their qualitative experiences, will be the ones that will bepromoted for one month on the national wiki, on the forum and also by the MCVP at internationalconferences and other meetings with MCVPs. Also these LCs will first ones to benefit from theinternational partnerships if this international partnerships are signed.
5. What is your strategy for driving ICX growth in 2012-2013?My strategy for the ICX growth will be through selling GCDP to non-corporate entities(Ministry ofEducation and National NGOs), taking into consideration the fact that in all the LCs of AIESEC Romaniathe ICX area has split, I want to create national raising campaigns that will be aligned at national level.Every LC will use the same product sheet: The product sheet will contain the description of AIESEC, description of GCDP program, national results obtained on GCDP part, a national design. Description of local projects, local results and testimonials will be added by each LC. The role of this product sheet will be to align the national raising campaign and also, the results obtained will be used at national level for obtaining national partnerships.Every quarter the focus will shift from one niche to another. We'll do so because we have to changethe mentality of random raising. If we focus on 2 niches the whole year(NGOs and Highschool) we willobtain a raise in the GCDP side. In the mean time, when the country is selling, the MC VP will go and sellat national level, at national NGO or government institutions.6.Taking into consideration the fact that on your term you will have to organize atleast one national project, how do you plan to communicate and organize the countryin order to implement the project?This year I want the NST team to be involved in the national strategy and direction. So I want to create2 position for NST members to be project coordinators. I want to have talks every month withVP/OCPs of the each LCs to see the status of the project. If the project is not reaching it's objectives,NST members + VPs + MCVP will try to find back-up solutions in order to fill the GAP. The communication between NST/MCVP and VPs will be made through Skype meetings and email. At the end of each month there should be a centralized output of all information gather from LCs. This information should help the LCs understand and avoid in the future the mistakes that are made. The communication between NST and MCVP will be made through Skype meetings or physical meetings(if possible). This meetings will be mandatory quarterly for planning the next quarter and set objectives. The NST and MCVP will track all their performance through an MBO.All of these are made in order to avoid as much as we can the big GAP at the end of the year and tohave the objectives fulfilled at the end of the term.
7. Which are the major challenges and changes you see with regarding the 2015 inAIESEC Romania on the Non Corporate Area? The big challenge in AIESEC Romania, will the implementing of the new structure. We will have to make it work if we want big results for 2015. I think another major challenge will be the sustainable growth that we will have to control for the next year. Taking into consideration that all the LCs will focus on Non-corporate for the first time, the growth will be big and we will have to create healthy processes that can continue next year also. Strictly on NC area, a BIG change will be the separation of the departments. In the small LCs, there are not enough members to support the both corporate and noncorporate sides and an important challenge for us will be to cover both needs for these departments, we will definitely be on the right track for achieving the 2015 vision in AIESEC Romania.

Wendy, surely you can't be serious. What values do you refer to? Look at the dems today; Dingell, Conyers, Durban, Moran, McKinney, Rangel, McDermott, Abercrombie, etc are openly anti-semitic. The dems have rejected the likes of Lieberman and elected the likes of Ellison. Even Jimmy Carter is openly anti-Israel. The party has taken a turn against Jews and it shows. The Republicans have been the true supporters of Israel. Period.

Buying Olympic Tickets can be a stressful experience.
First, Olympics 2012 tickets for some of the top events are in short supply, due to the limited number of seats to each Olympic event. While a total of 8.8 million tickets will be made available for the London games, most of spots are for earlier qualifying rounds. Tickets for the best seating at some of the later matches, finals, or more popular spectator sports such as basketball, gymnastics, boxing, and various track and field events should be purchased early and often command premium pricing. The same is true for sports that are particularly popular in the UK, or where the UK team is expected to medal.
Secondly, Olympics tickets are expensive, with Olympic ticket prices ranging anywhere from £350 per day per person to £4600 for an all event family pass.
There is considerable excitement leading up to the 2012 Olympiad, with tickets and passes for the 2012 games already a hot commodity. Buying Olympic Tickets online from one of the game sponsors, a sports or entertainment vendor, or an online ticket exchange makes the process considerably easier.
Here is the the latest information and news on Buying Olympics Tickets:

Noctua NH-C12P SE14 CPU Cooler - Accessories and DocumentationNoctua revises a workhorse from the CPU cooling fleet with one of their new NF-P14 fans, and delivers TweakTown's labs the NH-C12P SE14 for testing.
Accessories and Documentation
The brackets with centred screws on the left are used on top of the spacers on the top side of the motherboard. The four, hex end screws lock into the foam padded back plate on the back and both halves are secured to the motherboard with the thumbscrews.
The AMD set uses a similar setup, but can use the stock back plate in some instances. Remove the plastic bracket off the board and screw in Noctua brackets on top of the spacers and mount the cooler.
The bag of common parts consists of the low and ultra low noise fan adapters, NT-H1 thermal compound, SecuFirm2 mounting kit and a Noctua case badge.
As always, the instructions are sent in a little folder, with both AMD and Intel specific instructions. Choose your weapon and enjoy the ease of the install. If you do get stuck, like which way the brackets go on, the book is very descriptive and well illustrated to solve all your questions.
I had to get the images of the hardware before I could start assembly. As you can see, those flat grooves on the sides are sized just right to accept the super sticky tape backed, rubber anti-vibration pads included in the common bag. These should do a great job of isolating the fan.

The Senate recount is underway, Mike Tice wants to be a head coach in the National Football League (Good luck with that, big fella.), and the Dow is down more than 170 points in early trading. Those were some of the topics kicking around 425 Portland this morning. But the one piece of news that really grabbed our attention was the Internal Revenue Service/Mac Hammond dispute. The IRS wants Hammond's Living World Christian Center to release information on the jet the church bought for Hammond and some details on his compensation. Seems like Hammond won round one. A U.S. district magistrate sided with the church, although it may be because of a technicality: The magistrate said the IRS official who started the tax investigation wasn't ranked high enough in the agency to make that decision. The separation of church and state does give the IRS a high bar to clear, but the agency should enforce rules that provide churches with tax-exempt status. Those of us who pay taxes deserve that basic level of accountability. So do the church's donors. Living Word and Hammond may have done nothing to violate IRS regulations. But in the spirt of transparency, it seems like the agency should be able to give the church's finances a thorough review. What do you think?

I was wondering what is the best practice for a JPA model in Lift? I noticed that in the jpa demo application, there is just a Model object that is like a super object that does everything. I don't think this can be the most scalable approach, no?
Is it is wise to still do the DAO pattern in Lift? For example, there's some code that looks a tad bloated and could be simplified across all model objects:
Model.remove(Model.getReference(classOf[Author], someId))
Could be:
I'd appreciate any tips for setting up something that will work with the way Lift wants to work and is also easy to organize and maintain. Preferably from someone who has actually used JPA on a medium to large Lift site rather than just postulating what Spring does (we know how to do that) ;)
The first phase of development will be around 30-40 tables, and will eventually get to over 100... we need a scalable, neat approach.

After 15 years and eight albums without a single shift in personnel, Sloan obviously feels empowered to exercise its ambitions. That's evident on Never Hear the End of It 30 tracks crammed onto a single disc, hence a title that seems something of an understatement. Owing to its distinctly '70s sound a retro approach that's inextricably tied to established pop precepts it suggests a game of Name That Tune, each song echoing a vaguely familiar melody from some earlier era. The vibrant, effusive "Flying High Again" sounds suspiciously like something once sung by Sister Sledge. The chugging rhythm of "Who Taught You to Live Like That" mimics Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky." The acoustic strum of "Listen to the Radio" bears an uncanny resemblance to ELO, while the lethargic ballad turned perky pop of "Fading Into Obscurity" taps Paul McCartney's early style. Whether these similarities are intended as some sort of inside joke is a matter of conjecture. No matter; these comparisons may be obvious, but then, so is the Sloan savvy.

Cliff Lee loses shutout streak, winning streak versus Blue Jays
Jul 3, 2011, 3:49 PM EDT
Cliff Lee, coming off three straight shutouts versus the Marlins, Cardinals and Red Sox, took the loss Sunday as the Blue Jays beat the Phillies 7-4.
Lee had his scoreless streak snapped at 34 innings when Rajai Davis tripled and then scored on a groundout in the third inning of the game. The Blue Jays went on to add single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to chip away at what had been an early 4-0 lead for the Phillies.
Suddenly, in the eighth inning, it was bombs away. Lee, who hadn't allowed a homer in six stats since May 31, gave up three in a span of five batters. Eric Thames and Jose Bautista went back-to-back to start the frame, and Edwin Encarnacion added a two-run shot with one out.
The Blue Jays held on from there, sending Lee to his first loss since that aforementioned May 31 outing against the Nationals. He had been 5-0 since.
Lee ended up with nine strikeouts and no walks on the day, but all seven runs, six of which were earned, were charged to him. He gave up three homers in a start for the first time since allowing four in a loss to the Orioles last Aug. 21.
Bautista added to his major league lead with 27 homers. He went deep in all three games of the series against the Phillies.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 3, 2011 at 4:10 PM
After a couple of close games, Toronto was due for a win against the Phillies. Bautista is hot again. Thames is a fine looking rookie. Travis Snider is now healthy and has bee recalled from Triple A. There will be many more "bombs away" games for the Jays in the second half. Juan Rivera was designated for assignment after the game. Toronto had to take him in order to complete the Vernon Wells salary dump. Somebody might take him if Toronto agrees to pay most of the last 3 months of his contract.
- missthemexpos - Jul 3, 2011 at 5:24 PM
I am sure Toronto management was hopeful that Rivera could have a good 1st half, to potentially flip him to a contender for prospects, alas that was not to be, with the final nail in the coffin the butchering of a very catchable fly ball in Friday's game leading to a comeback win by Philly.
- derpdederpdederp - Jul 3, 2011 at 6:03 PM
too bad we couldnt have traded wells for a bunch of minor leaguers, at least they cant cost us games while theyre playing in las vegas. the jays got rivera and napoli in that trade, and it didnt look bad having a bench player and a HR hitting catcher. then for reasons i will never fully understand, AA flipped napoli for an over-the-hill relief pitcher. napoli could have played first or catcher to give lind and arencibia time off. all francisco can do give up runs. i know trading wells was just a salary dump but the jays literally did as badly as they could have when it came time to get rid of him
- proudlycanadian - Jul 3, 2011 at 6:16 PM
The Jays had to take back salary in order to trade Wells. Napoli had an expensive contract with 2 years left on it and he would have duplicated the skills of other players on the roster. Remember that the Angels wanted to dump both Napoli and Rivera because they were overpaid. Hopefully Francisco will be a Type B Free Agent at the end of the season, so the Jays will get a high draft pick when he signs elsewhere.
- dirtyharry1971 - Jul 3, 2011 at 6:23 PM
I guess when you are a fan of the jays high draft picks is all you can really root for but think about it, what have these picks really done for them? Snider? Bust, Draback? Bust Rios? Bust and the list just goes on and on.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 3, 2011 at 6:30 PM
You forgot the biggest bust of them all. Yes I am referring to Happy Herbie. Why Herbie hasa bust is unknown, but what will be will be.
- dirtyharry1971 - Jul 4, 2011 at 12:09 AM
im glad you remember me old man, what happened to our old board? I used to love going there
- Ari Collins - Jul 3, 2011 at 7:11 PM
Romero, Lind, Arencibia, and a few very good relievers counter that nicely. Plus of course players who their draft picks were traded for who are doing well on the team.
Plus there's not a lot to counter. Little early to call Drabek a bust based on his first 90 innings. It's also too early to give up on Snider, who's only 23, an age where most hot prospects are still in the minors. Even Rios is a useful player with over a hundred career homers.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 3, 2011 at 7:48 PM
Thanks Ari! "dirtyharry1971″ reminds me of a troll on the old MSNBC discussion board who used many monikers including Happy Herbie. Thus my previous post. "dirtyharry1971″ has shown no inclination to listen to reason.
- cur68 - Jul 4, 2011 at 2:16 AM
After an extraordinarily busy day I sat down in depressed hope, but hope nonetheless, of seeing at least another decent outing by my Beaver Boys. All I really wanted was for them avoid being no-hit again. Little did I expect that they would decide they'd had enough of this flukey Philly winning sh!t and take it all out on poor Clifton Phifer Lee. They just pwned him in the 8th. I don't know what he said to Bautista after striking him out previous to the 8th but he shouldn't have done that. Joey The Bat don't take no smart talk from no pitcher.
Eric Thames continues to be just a stud of a hitter since coming back up. He's swinging harder and with better contact. He looks like a Left Handed Jose Bautista. Encarnacion and Davis have finally woken up the bats; thanks Jobu, plenty more rum when you need it. Now all the Hired Guns of Beaver Land need is another late innings reliever and they'll be rolling. Big test coming up in Boston soon. I certainly hope they do better than they did last time. It would be hard to do worse.

Do you feel down and depressed and are you looking for proven techniques on coping with a breakup? If so, I can help. I've been through several breakups in the past and I can give you some proven techniques to use right now. Let's begin.
How to Cope With a Breakup Did you recently break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Do you feel down and depressed and are you looking for proven techniques on coping with a breakup? If so, I can help. I've been through several breakups in the past and I can give you some proven techniques to use right now. Let's begin. Instructions o 1 Realize that it will take time for your heart to heal. It will take time coping with a breakup. After all, you have a lot of feelings for your ex and those feelings aren't going to just disappear overnight. However, you will find that if you give yourself some time, those hurtful feelings will vanish with time and you'll realize that it isn't the end of the world because the two of you have parted. o 2 Concentrate on your needs. If you're like most folks, when you were with your ex, you probably concentrated on their needs. Well, now it is time for you to concentrate on pleasing yourself. Therefore, put your needs first and do the things that you neglected when you were with your ex. For instance, go shopping and buy yourself some new clothes. Get your hair fixed or have a manicure. Treat yourself to a movie or play but do something that you enjoy without worrying if your significant other would have approved. o 3 Keep A Journal. Coping with a breakup is similar to mourning the loss of a loved one. It hurts and the pain is real. Therefore, you can deal with these feelings by writing them down in a journal. Therefore, every night, write down how you felt during the day. Write down any positive or negative feelings that you felt and what caused those feelings and how you reacted. For instance, if you run into a friend who casually invites you and your ex out for dinner and this causes you to feel sad, write it down. On the same token, if you spent the entire afternoon laughing with friends and didn't feel sad at all, write that down too. Simply pour your heart into your journal and heal your heart in the process. o 4 Surround yourself with supportive people. Spend precious time with friends and family members. Not only do they love you but they can help you through this difficult time. After all, they don't want you to feel miserable and will likely do all they can to "help you feel better." Don't forget to confide in them about your feelings and have as much fun with them as you can. After all, you don't want to be miserable but you do want to acquire love and support. o 5 Get rid of reminders. Eliminate all signs of your ex. Not only will these things conjure up hurtful feelings but they will cause you to feel worse. Therefore, pack up all items that remind you of your ex and put them out of sight. If you can, throw them away. If you don't want to destroy them, put them in the attic or give them to a friend for safekeeping. After all, this will keep you from reminiscing about the past and help you focus on the present and future. o 6 In conclusion, a breakup isn't an easy thing to cope with but it's part of life. Nearly everyone has gone though it at one point and they made it through. If you follow the previous tips, you can get over a breakup too. Good luck and know that things will get better.

By Raj Giri | February 20, 2012 | Comments
WrestlingINC.com: It did kind of look like they were going to give the tag titles a little bit of a push when you and Tyson Kidd won the unified titles. Did you think that might be the case? Or did you see it as no big deal?
Smith: No, I mean I was cool with it. I personally liked the other tag team titles better, just the way that they looked. The big shiny copper-like titles that they have now, I mean they are fine but I understand they wanted to unify it because - to make it more prestigious I guess. Combine the two shows, I think that maybe its just because of the lack of tag teams in general. Why have tag team champions on SmackDown when there is only one other tag team to feud with? What are you the champion of? One of two teams?
The copper belts are quite heavy, they are like as heavy as the unified titles, the two combined. You get hit with one of those and you are going to go down. It was cool, I'm glad to say we were the first ones to become unified tag champions. I remember Nat and Bret coming out to present them and everything, so it was great.
WrestlingINC.com: I think there's a lot of people who feel like at this point they should unify all the titles. Unify the World and WWE titles, unify the US and Intercontinental, just because the shows aren't really separate anymore.
Smith: Yeah, they could do that I suppose. I would like to see maybe two well.. It would be interesting, anyway.
WrestlingINC.com: You had your last match with Zack Rider last April.
Smith: Yeah, that's right.
WrestlingINC.com: That match was in April and you weren't released until August, what was going on during that time?
Smith: Well, lot's of flying out to TV tapings and twiddling my thumbs and eating catering [laughs]. For, I would say April until June or so, which sucks because you don't want to fly out to TV tapings because you have to fly out the day before... I mean, don't get me wrong, it's like part of the job, you sign up for it.
But you leave Sunday, you have to pay for a rental car and hotel Sunday night and then Monday is TV where you do absolutely nothing but eat catering and wonder why you're not used and then the next day you fly home, but it's an early morning flight and you're kind of tired, so you got three days that are just kind of wasted because you go to TV's to do nothing. So I did that for... April, May, June, July. I think June they stopped bringing me out completely and then I just sat at home for another month or two until I got the release.
WrestlingINC.com: And when you got the release, I am guessing you were kind of expecting it at that point?
Smith: Well, yeah.. I was kind of expecting it almost kind of hoping for it. It was just like kinda one of those things, I mean I tried to do the best that I could do for the company. Prior to my release, I had a sit down with John Laurinaitis and I tried to give him some ideas. This was right after the Royal Rumble that they didn't even have me on, which was kinda insulting that I wasn't in it, with so many other guys in it. [Laurinaitis] was like, "We don't know what to do with you so we are going to try and repackage you."
I don't know... I was sort of relieved, I could see it coming. I was just like, as long as they don't try to call me back, to try to stooge me out on TV a couple more times and then fire me, or ask me to go to FCW for awhile and then fire me. So I was just kind of glad, it was just kind of a relief to everybody. I think other people saw it coming, like my fans probably that didn't see me in awhile were wondering what, after the breakup of the Hart Dynasty, what were they going to do with me.

Peter Webber
At the time, this decision fell under the purview of General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones), a man with his own political motivations and guiding signifiers influencing the outcome, as determined by exploitable underling General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), who physically conducted the investigation to determine if a trial was necessary.
Emperor (Peter Webber's historically and politically conscious biopic on the subject) isn't preoccupied with the specificities of war or the psychology of tragedy and defeat. It's a film that assumes the audience understands war and knows full well what happened in WWII in all theaters. It also assumes that we're conscious of the American tendency to police the globe sanctimoniously, stepping in wherever there's conflict to impose a rigidly defined sense of order.
Webber (Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hannibal Rising), a director known for deconstructing perspective and focusing on inner-conflict and motivation rather than drama, is interested in assessing ideological distinctions between Japanese and American culture. Initially, General Fellers has a distinctly black & white perspective on the nature of justice, questioning various political and economic leaders throughout Japan about the chronological and hierarchical facts that went into the decision to attack Pearl Harbour.
Noting early the Japanese tendency towards loyalty and honour over moral certainty, he's often left with cryptic answers in his interrogations, along with observations about the European, and by association, American, ethos of being territorial in the game of world domination.
While there isn't a specifically defensive reaction to the decision to bomb, there is a vague indication of unity and tradition being more substantive than sheer mechanics — the Japanese are more focused on Hirohito's decision to end the conflict and the national state going forward than the instigators of war.
The slow build of perspective change and broadening of mind in General Fellers are what drive the narrative forward. The theatrics are limited to mostly subdued conversations, with only the film's weakest conceit — a love story between Fellers and Aya (Eriko Hatsune), a Japanese exchange student he knew before the war — adding a melodramatic element.
Contemplation and an awareness of differing perspectives are the focus of Emperor, suggesting that what's more important than doting on the sheer spectacle and horror of war is the inner-emotional maturity needed to avoid it in the future.
While a hard sell, especially considering the sensationalist nature of the genre, it is an exceedingly thought-provoking work — if a little too on-the-nose — that excels in mirroring style with thematic assertion. (Mongrel Media)

Clear SOUP and COTS Software for Medical Device Development
October 26, 2011 // Chris Hobbs, QNX // 0 commentsDownload White Paper 366Ko
In many industries, manufacturers have reduced development times by using COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) software and hardware. Pressures to bring new, feature-rich products to market quickly affect medical device manufacturers as much as anyone, but the industry may be reluctant to follow suit. This is due to concerns that COTS implies SOUP (software of uncertain provenance) may compromise device safety and pre-market approval by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. While we should exercise diligence and caution when considering COTS software, COTS software may be perfectly acceptable, given stringent selection criteria and validation of the completed systems and devices

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
20 Nov 2012 16:32 GMT | Sport, Golf, China, South Africa
Despite experiencing his first barren year on the European Tour since 2007, Martin Kaymer and his manager Johan Elliot are certain a tournament victory is imminent for the former world number one.
As the European Ryder Cup hero practised his chipping on a hot, sultry day in Dubai, Elliot said he was convinced the German would either win this week's DP World Tour Championship or next week's Sun City Challenge in South Africa.
"I've been patient for a long time now and I think Johan's right," Kaymer said in an interview.
"I'm playing very well and I'm getting closer and closer.
"Without putting too much pressure on myself, I have a very good chance of winning this week or next. The way I play golf it shouldn't take too much longer."
Kaymer has won at least twice in each of the last four seasons but this year was a struggle until a rush of confidence in the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois at the end of September.
The 27-year-old jumped up and down in wild celebration after his six-foot putt on the final green of his singles match against Steve Stricker ensured the European team retained the trophy.
"I think just before the Ryder Cup a few things started to change for me," Kaymer explained.
"I was playing some really nice golf but things weren't happening for me and I wasn't getting the right results.
"What happened at the Ryder Cup was huge for me and then for two weeks in China I played really well but couldn't get the scores I wanted," he added referring to a tie for 11th at the BMW Masters and a ninth-place finish at the WGC-Champions Tournament.
"Last week was also quite nice at the South African Open. I played good golf to finish tied for third but I also know I could have done better."
Short 'n sharpWorld number 30 Kaymer, who was top of the rankings for an eight-week spell last year, said it was a failure to take advantage of the long holes that had cost him a win in recent weeks.
"My short game is not quite sharp enough," he said.
"My long game is very good and my putting is good - it's just I'm not really using the par-fives.
"I'm not making a lot of birdies on those holes because my pitching isn't very good - that's why I need to spend a lot of time practising around the greens.
"There is no goal in my life where there will be more pressure or more excitement than at Medinah where I had that little six-footer for the Ryder Cup"
German golfer Martin Kaymer
"I am playing exactly the same way I played two or three years ago. There is no difference, it's just that my short game has to get a little bit sharper."
Whatever the 2010 U.S. PGA champion achieves in the future, he knows he will find it difficult to replicate the special sensation he experienced at the Ryder Cup.
"To make something that big happen for yourself, your country and your continent is a huge achievement," said Kaymer.
"If you know you can make those things happen, those important shots, those important putts - it doesn't get any bigger.
"There is no goal in my life where there will be more pressure or more excitement than at Medinah where I had that little six- footer for the Ryder Cup."
Kaymer, who has 10 European Tour victories to his credit, said he was grateful for the opportunity to put his name in the record books as the man who ensured his team retained the Ryder Cup.
"The key was that I really focused on the simple things," he said.
"It was an uphill, inside-right of the cup putt and if you break it down to the simplest task - it's the easiest putt you can have.
"But obviously under those circumstances it was not that easy - it was all about the excitement of making it happen. It was a huge gift for me really, having the possibility to win the Ryder Cup."
