This wiki-based site allows Network participants to share information and collaborate on projects and research. Solar cooking is increasingly seen as a valuable component in strategies to reduce deforestation and respiratory disease resulting from cooking with fuelwood. If you are a solar cooking promotor, designer, or manufacturer, and you would like to be included in the Network, fill out this online form. This site provides an introduction to solar cooking along with dozens of simple construction plans. Information is also provided about where to buy a solar cooker in your area. NGOs or individuals wanting to promote solar cooking will find a compendium of information and resources to help with their projects. Visit individual country pages to explore solar cooking activities and connect with others working on solar cooking projects there. Check the Calendar of events for activities in your area. Solar cooking news from around the world September 2012 Solvatten water pasteurization system September 2012: The Swedish Church and the aid agency Lutheran World Federation (LWF) are launching Solvatten in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. The goal of the project is to reduce environmental degradation by enabling people to use alternative sources of energy in the camp and in the host community that surrounds it. Supply of fire wood has been a problem in Kakuma region since the camp was set up in 1992 but it has escalated in the past two years, despite that the refugees are not allowed to harvest firewood directly from the bushes. This is attributed to the continuous massive influx of people into the camp leading to the environmental degradation through the harvesting of sticks from the available vegetation for firewood. Firewood has become very expensive and the UNHCR struggles to purchase and supply fuel to the growing population of refugees in the camp. The Solvatten is a water pasteurization device. August 2012 Refugee volunteers build solar cookers as part of the CORD project at the Farchana Refugee Camp. Solar cooker project in Chad is in full swing - In the Farchana Refugee Camp, a team of ten volunteers, refugees themselves, are putting together 2350 cookers! The cookers help prevent conflict between the Sudanese population in the camps and the local Chadian community, who are both competing for scarce firewood. Women, who traditionally collect wood to cook with, face violence outside the camps. The solar cookers need only the sun to cook food, one thing Chad has in abundance!

They had organized Global Universities Social Trip (GUST), a project that aims to raise students' awareness of social entrepreneurship in Asia. For six months they met many social entrepreneurs throughout Asia who worked on problems such as energy, communication, waste, water, and housing. They created videos that presented the entrepreneurs' projects, the social issues they wanted to solve, and the challenges they had to overcome. Click the image on the right to see a video that they made on their visit to our Solar Serve Center in Danang. For more information on the Gust Project, visit the: http://www.gustproject.com or visit their Vimeo Channel. Dissertation posted: Identifying the barriers to the deployment of solar cookers in the energy-poor households of sub-Saharan Africa - Sarah Cochetel New video from Cord showing their solar cooking project in refugee camps in Chad 03:37 Cooking up peace July 2012 Dr. Robert Metcalf discusses solar cooking on the Afternoon Edition (Saskatchewan, Canada) - listen to the recording. Dr. Metcalf is a founding member of Solar Cookers International. June 2012 Solar cooking heads to The Discovery Center - Central Valley Solar Cookers, founded by Carl Peters, is one of the most successful solar cooking clubs in the USA. Located in Fresno, California, the group now has 111 members. They recently had their First Annual Solar Cooking Festival, which was a huge success. They now have enough money to buy materials to build a solar cooker for use at The Discovery Center, a free non-profit science education facility. The park is fully self-funded and situated on six acres. Carl thinks a panel type cooker would be the safest type. It would be a nice addition to ultimately see solar cookers in our parks instead of only charcoal and wood burning BBQs.

Sixteen-brick Rocket Stove Students flood southern Mexico integrated cooking class - Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Fresno, California, led by Wilfred and Marie Pimentel, teamed up with the Rotary Club of Tapachula Centenario, Mexico, to host a five-day integrated cooking workshop in Tapachula. This is the tenth grant project completed in Mexico by the Rotary Club of Fresno. Although only twenty students were expected to attend, ninety-one arrived on opening day to participate—a clear indication of the desperate need for affordable fuel-saving cooking devices in this region. Local instructors and expert solar cooks from Torreon and Oaxaca led the workshop. Participants learned to build three types of rocket stoves: mud and chopped grass, five gallon tin can, and sixteen brick, which were used to make tortillas. Students cut out cardboard sheets and glued them to pieces of aluminum foil to make solar panel CooKits. A variety of meat, vegetable and egg dishes were prepared with the CooKits along with desserts like pineapple upside down cake. Students also learned how to use WAPI's to pasteurize water with a CooKit. Finally, the instructors showed their ninety-one students how easy it is to make a retained heat cooker with a pillowcases and crumpled newspaper stuffed into a woven basket. Read more...

They manufacture a variety of parabolic and box solar cookers. March 2012 Golden Temple, Punjab, India Solar cooking set to help preserve the Golden Temple in Punjab, India - To save the Golden Temple from the ill effects of pollution, the Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) is developing a plan to prepare a daily meal of Langar dal with the help of a solar steam cooking system. PEDA is the governmental agency promoting renewable energy within Punjab, India. To prepare Langar dal for 50,000 to 60,000 devotees daily at the Golden Temple requires one ton (909 kg) of dal to be cooked. A recent study has shown cooking dal with the help of steam will save at least 25 LPG cylinders per day and also reduce the effects of air pollution on the Golden Temple. PEDA chairman Manjeet Singh said that PEDA would bear the entire project cost. China and India lead the world in large scale solar cooking projects - Dar Curtis of Solar Household Energy recently researched where large scale solar cooking projects are happening around the world. The projects in African refugee camps are fairly well known, but institutional projects and the high-use of solar cookers is happening primarily in Asia. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has registered eight solar cooker projects in China since 2009. A total of 207,000 parabolic solar cookers have been distributed, serving 848,000 people. In India, CDM registered a Gold Standard project in 2006. The Gadhia Solar company has created institutional kitchens with arrays of large parabolic solar concentrators to generate steam. Such an installation at Mt. Abu, Rajasthan, can produce meals for 38,500 pilgrims per day. Read more from his well-documented report. Some Big Solar Cooking Projects in Asia, December 2011 Five South Dakota State University football players volunteered to help Haiti Solar Oven Partners load a container with 1000 unassembled solar box cookers destined for Haiti. South Dakota, USA nonprofit has delivered thousands of solar cookers to Haiti - Haiti Solar Oven Partners passed a milestone this spring by delivering another 1000 solar cookers as part of the relief effort resulting from the 2010 earthquake. This brings the total number of cookers they have taken to Haiti to over 5000. They had begun having solar cooking workshops in the country before the earthquake and have since stepped up their efforts. Currently, they are conducting an evaluation of their Haiti projects. Global conservation gathering is approached with the solar cooking option - The IUCN World Conservation Congress is the world's largest conservation event. Held every four years, the Congress aims to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social and economic development. It will take place from September 6-15, 2012 in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Leaders from government, the public sector, non-governmental organizations, business, UN agencies and social organizations will discuss, debate and decide solutions for the world's most pressing environment and development issues. The upcoming Congress has been approached by Solar Household Energy to present the case for solar cooking. Read more of their proposal. Solar Cooker Review - The March 2012 issue is now available online. Spanish cooperative finds common ground promoting solar cooking - Sol Solidari was formed in 2008 by environmental and sanitation practitioners in Spain wanting to combine their expertise to help primarily rural countries in Africa. Most of their activity has centered on the promotion of solar cooking. Whenever is possible, the cookers are locally manufactured, and workshops on their use are carried out with the help of local leaders. Initially the cookers are distributed for free to create better exposure among the villagers. In the second phase, the solar cookers are sold, but mostly subsidized by Sol Solidari. Until now, the projects have taken place in Ethiopia and Mali, but future plans include Cameroon and South Africa. Sol Solidari solar cooking workshop February 2012 The Sun2Cook solar panel cooker The Sun2Cook is a simple solar panel cooker - The Sun2Cook, was designed by Heinz-Joachim (Jo) Muller. The solar panel cooker takes shape from a single rectangular sheet of polypropylene sheet (core flute). With a few cuts and simple folds it is ready to cook. The steep back of the cooker makes it a good choice to take advantage of morning and late-day sunshine. Patricia McArdle attended a workshop dealing with the construction and proper alignment techniques for Scheffler Community Kitchens in Dhule, India: Read her report. The All Season Solar Cooker captures the first morning sun. The versatile All Seasons Solar Cooker cooks year-round - The All Season Solar Cooker is featured this month as a solar panel cooker whose key feature is its adjustable, coordinated reflector array. The advantage of the ASSC is that it can efficiently capture the earliest morning sun, to begin cooking far earlier, and later, in the day than most other designs. The cooking pot maintains a level position regardless of cooker orientation. It also folds into a flat package that is easy to transport and ship. Visit the cooker article for plans that can be downloaded for free from designer Jim La Joie. SCI tests showed that bread could be baked easily in Seattle (47° N latitude) on February 3rd. January 2012 AlSol 1.4 parabolic solar cooker donated by ACCESO. Spanish solar cooking promoter offers to donate cookers to other groups - ACCESO director, René Bijloo, has made the generous offer to donate up to thirty AlSol 1.4 parabolic solar cookers to any non-profit humanitarian project providing solar energy options for rural areas around the world.

Teong Tan variation of the Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light Featured solar panel cooker receives attention, and a suggestion - The Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light was featured here this past November, and Teong Tan, an active participant in the Network, has suggested an alternate plate base design, which will shorten the assembly time and not require any bolts. His design for the base uses two sandwiched pieces of cardboard sewn together, creating sleeves for the reflector corners to slip into. Alternate Base Plate for the Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light Indian Government budgets six hundred million dollars for solar cooking! - Ajay Chandak of Prince India reports that in the Indian government's latest five year plan, 30 billion INR (approx. $600 million USD) is budgeted for solar cooking in 500,000 schools across India. This will not only help in saving the environment, but it will expose millions of school children to solar cooking and build the confidence that these systems work. For more information on solar cooking in India, See India.India. December 2011 SolarCooker Eco3 solar cookers are distributed in Senegal Solar Cooking NV and Sol Suffit ship 630 solar cookers to Senegal - The project is a joint venture between Solar Cooking NV in the Netherlands, and Sol Suffit, a long time promoter of solar cooking in Senegal. The SolarCooker Eco3 cookers will be introduced in Dakar and in eight villages next to Djoudj National Park. Local volunteers participated in workshops, and will be training others in the surrounding villages. Trainees were also made familiar with the method of heat retention cooking. They found it quite easy to make good quality hay baskets with inexpensive baskets(locally made) and empty rice bags filled with dry hay. Sun-Funnel panel cooker A simple panel cooker makes advances in design - The Sun-Funnel cooker, designed by Teong Tan, is similar to the Fun-Panel cooker, but with a different panel fold. The intent is to have a panel cooker that will be strong enough to support a cooking pot when the cooker is tipped back for better orientation to the sun. It also uses a stick placed through the cooker base to allow the pot to remain level while cooking. November 2011 Variations in ways to configure the Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light. The Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light prior to final assembly. Small, compact, and inexpensive solar panel cooker - The Copenhagen Solar Cooker Light is featured as an example of a nicely conceived solar panel cooker. It is flexible in it's design, as well as in the number of ways it can be configured. The components include a flat base plate, which flexible reflective panels are bolted to. Then using simple clamps, the cooker can be configured with a low open front and high back, or with more vertical sides for cooking when the sun is directly overhead. The designer, Sharon Clausson, states that the curved shape of the cooker is more stable than typical panel cookers in windy conditions. Patent landscape report on solar cooking - The World Intellectual Property Organization commissioned an extensive report on the state of solar cooking, prepared by Scope e-Knowledge Center Private Limited based in India. The report validates the viability of solar cooking, a technology well-suited for a growing portion of the world's population.

What Is A Heart Attack?
A heart attack is an urgent message from your heart that it is not receiving the oxygen it needs. When oxygen-rich blood to your heart is blocked by a clot, heart muscle begins to die and symptoms of a heart attack begin. By getting to the hospital quickly, treatment can be started to help save your heart and your heart muscle.
Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in your chest. Treatments are most effective when they occur in the early stages of the episode of chest pain.
Symptoms of a heart attack differ between men and women. Here's what to look for in each:
When to call 9-1-1
If you have one or more of the following symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately:
Never be afraid to call 9-1-1! If you do not know the cause of your symptoms, assume it is a heart attack. Play it safe and get medical help.

(Office Chairs)
design tends toward minimalist aesthetics, emphasizing clean lines, open spaces, and subtle ornamentation. Working from the basic philosophy that less is more, contemporary styling avoids ostentatious display or unnecessary accents, and is built so that form emphasizes function.
design is a broad umbrella term covering any design styling coming out of historical European fashions. Traditional design can be evocative of anything from Renaissance to Victorian aesthetics, and may feature elaborate ornamentation. Traditional design tends toward richness in color, accents, and upholstery.
is intended to serve as a midpoint between traditional and contemporary design. Neither as ornate as traditional styles nor as severe and minimalist as contemporary style, transitional design features more curved lines, simplicity, and a focus on comfort, active function, and less chrome and glass than you would find in modern design.
design style is adventurous and original. A catchall term for a wide variety of styles, modern styling is creative and unexpected. It tends toward simple forms and unconventional shapes.

Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 - Extended Gameplay Trailer #1 "Welcome to the Prison"
The full list of fixes and tweaks runs well over 2000, you can view the long patch note list here, which runs the gamut from optimization to fixing small and large bugs to expanding the game's content. We also updated the beta's reference card and expanded it a little bit. As a reminder, this update will break existing save games. The most immediate difference you'll notice will of course be the updates character and inventory screens. Other than just looking better the new inventory adds a lot of functionality such as an all-party inventory and direct mouse-over comparisons between an item with your currently equipped item (by holding shift). The second big thing is the addition of the fifth major location in Arizona, the Prison, which was formerly the Ranger Center, now taken over by a rival militia. Ranger Team Echo heads into the Prison in search of ways into Damonta, a town seemingly unreachable beyond a radiation wall.

Celebrating that history, this grind has been developed expressly for the stovetop coffee pot. With a well-balanced taste and unmistakable aroma with notes of chocolate, toast and honey, the coffee is packaged in air-pressurized tins to maintain its rich aroma and fresh flavor until the moment it's prepared.

Over 400 children with disability from six schools in Dar es Salaam and Coast regions made a huge congregation at the Uhuru Mchanmganyiko School on Monday to compete in various sports categories.
The children came all the way from from Buguruni Primary School for the deaf, Yombo Vocational Training, Jangwani and Pugu Secondary Schools, Salvation Army and hosts Uhuru Mchanganyiko Primary School.
Students from the above mentioned schools formed combined teams and played football, netball and other indoor games to showcase their rich talents and skills.
Prize fund package to the tune of six million was presented to the various winners at the end of the competitions as treated mosquito nets, footwear, clothes and clutches were distributed.
Pugu Secondary School headmaster Rukongwe Mwero presided the prize presentation ceremony was overwhelmed by the way the children with disability competed at the event.
The event was staged by Sri Sathya Sai Society of Tanzania as part of entertainment as well as sporting promotion for the disabled students.
Mwero made a call to the Tanzania Paralympics Committee (TPC) embark on talent searching for players at all learning centers in the country so that they can form a formidable line-up for the national team.
TPC secretary general Iddi Kibwana missed the function but was recently reported that his association needs to have many new athletes to compete at local and international tournaments.
However, he bemoaned lack funds to facilitate talent scouting at all schools and other learning institutions. He asked companies, organisations and individuals for help to realise the all important goal.
Mwero said the country has many physically challenged players whom are capable of featuring in the national Paralympics team only that the TPC has failed to cast its net wide to tap the abundant resource.
The Headmaster said his school alone has 62 students with disabilities but have formed only one football team.
Mwero said this has denied other students the opportunity and right to play as the team can not accommodate all players. The school needs to have other indoor games to keep busy those missing chances in the football team.
He urged corporate firms and individuals to provide cooperation in the supply of sports equipment and gears to help the disabled community which is sometimes overlooked.
"We have many players at our school and others have good players only that the responsible body is not casting its net wide and search players in all schools throughout the country", he said.
The Chairman of Sri Sathya Sai Nathumal Sajnani said his society is very committed to improve life standard of disabled people.
He has been pleased to see students gather and play games together with profound happiness.
Sajnani said his society will continue helping the disabled ones in the country as they believe in a philosophy of Love All and serve all people and hands that serves are holier than the lips that pray.
He also noted that parents and guardians are very crucial in orienting children with disability to engage in sports activities.

Links to artist collectives, individual artists and exhibitions and community projects utilizing a theme of anti war.
DocumentsDate added
Fred Askew is a freelance News and Editorial photographer based in New York City. His work is published internationally in journals, newspapers and magazines. One of his themes is the anti-war movement.
His photographs have appeared in Time Magazine, The New York Times, Le Monde, El Pais, New York Magazine, Artforum Magazine, The Village Voice, Clamor Magazine, YES Magazine, Index Magazine, The Indypendent and other publications.
Otto Dix was a German artist, painter, print maker and watercolorist. His depictions of mechanized warfare and post-war Berlin continue to shape our impressions of the Great War and Weimar society. Along with George Grosz, Dix was one of the more important figures in New Objectivity. While Grosz delved into the shadows of modern society, Dix stared into the abyss.
Can design change the world? I don't pretend that social and political problems can be solved with graphics or technology, but tools, technologies, and techniques of communication can profoundly alter our relationship to the world, to power, and to each other. This Web log is a collection of notes on the built environment, graphic design, product design, architecture, the decisions we make, and the impact they have. It is an exploration and a work in progress. I'm still working on my definition of "Social Design," but I'm inclined towards projects that:
- are affordable and sustainable
- are made of renewable materials
- use energy from renewable sources and increase energy efficiency
- reduce consumption and waste, are reusable or recyclable
- are produced and developed locally
- are universally accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and physical conditions
- are developed at the initiative and with the participation of the communities they serve
- facilitate mobility, communication, and participation in civic life
- decentralize political power and facilitate transparency and accountability.
The War in Iraq has ended (or has it?) and are we any safer? The costly occupation of Iraq has yet to bring democracy to its people or security to the U.S. The War has fueled hatred of the US around the world and weakened alliances built up over decades. Artists have a long history of reflecting on the events surrounding them. We feel that this is one of those times.
135 artists from 16 countries have created medals that reflect the terrible waste of this war. Medals commemorate heroes and battles but also Grief, Destruction, Terror, Greed, Hypocrisy, Arrogance and Loss. This war is remembered by artists from around the world with small but powerful objects that remind us the risks of unchecked power.
The War Room is an installation by British painter William T. Ayton that is constructed of four wall-sized panels depicting fundamental aspects of war: warriors, victims, witnesses, and aftermath. Unlike conventional war rooms designed to devise military strategy, Ayton's War Room forces a provocative confrontation with the brutal realities and consequences of war. Inside the almost claustrophobic space, intense images engulf the viewer compelling us to face fundamental questions of where we each stand in the war room.
The Illustrated Enemy looks at graphic depictions of national leaders and military and civilian life, as illustrated by artists both before and during World War I. [A new section dealing with World War II Soviet posters was added in April, 2007]. These images were originally published in magazines, books, posters and postcards. The artists are French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, British and American. Many are unabashedly patriotic, even jingoistic; others are just as firmly anti-war.
"Leon Golub: Paintings, 1950-2000," was an exhibition of some thirty-five works depicting the effects of individual and institutional power, was presented from May 18 through August 19, 2001 at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the final venue of an international tour. These expressive political paintings, many of which are mural-sized, explore issues of race, violence, war, and human suffering.
War Child continues to use the enormous support it receives from the media, music and entertainment industries to raise, not only much needed funds, but also public awareness of the daily struggle for survival facing children in war zones.
Music Artists are a vital part of our work. They help improve the lives of war-affected children by generating awareness and raising vital funds. Most importantly, they demonstrate how it is possible for each and every person to make a difference.
Red, white and blue signs, approximately 1.5' x 2', are to be placed in front yards and other public locations. They are designed to resemble the ubiquitous yard signs* printed commercially and posted in front of homes and businesses throughout the southern USA. The "Ten Commandments" yard sign includes text from the Geneva Convention as it relates specifically to treatment of prisoners. "Support Our Troops" includes officially suppressed imagery of the remains of US servicemen and servicewomen. "Re-Elect" makes explicit the merging of secular and religious iconography implied by the rhetoric of our political leaders. "Home For Sale" includes an image of the American flag, violently out of focus.

The Coil Voltic is a compact electric roadster in GTA V.
This car is clearly inspired by the Tesla Roadster, a two door electric sports car made by Tesla Motors, an automobile company in California. The Tesla Roadster has a body delivered by Lotus and is converted to a lightweight electric vehicle. As such it features a low front end with a fairly tall front face, featuring three bumper grilles; the central grille spanning two thirds of the bumper width and then a smaller one either side. The headlights are totally ovular, which somehow resembles Rinspeed sQuba, an amphibious car based on Lotus Elise). The manufacturer emblem is located right in front of the bonnet/ hood, in the centre. The bonnet/ hood features two large, curved-edge intakes placed in the middle.
The sides of the car are very curvy and the greenhouse shrinks in width towards the rear of the car. The main body lines curves downwards between the two arches, but curves upwards for either arch, moreso for the rear arch, much like a Series 2 Lotus Exige. The main lines that form the edge of the side intakes for the car are also curved. The intake just in front of the rear wheel arch features a CFRP insert. The wheelbase of the car is relatively short, giving the car the appearance of a lightweight, compact roadster, typical to a Lotus-related design. The wheels featured on this car are split five spoke wheels, which appear to be inspired by those found on the Lotus Exige S.
The rear end of this car features rear lighting made up of two circular lamps either side of a central section. The lower area of the rear bumper has a plastic insert, this rear face arrangement is very much inspired by the Tesla Roadster
Although this car features a Lotus body, it may in fact be inspired by the Hennessey Venom GT (whose body is also produced by Lotus) and by the Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid hypercar.
This car utilizes an MR drivetrain layout.
This car is one of the fastest cars in the game. It is also the quietest car in the game.
- Usually found at the Kortz Center's parking, in Pacific Bluffs.
- Can also be found in the parking garage near your get-away vehicle while setting up the final heist for The Big Score.
- Sometimes found in a carpark north of Los Santos International Airport near the runway next to the road leading away from Los Santos Customs and past the Triathlon.
- Sometimes found in the Air Theather Parking lot, eastern Vinewood Hills.
- Although this is based on Lotus Elise, the car's name, Coil Voltic, may be inspired from its electric-driven descendant, the Tesla Roadster ("Coil" refers to Nikola Tesla, the inventor of the Tesla coil, while "Voltic" may refer to Tesla Roadster's status as an electric sports car).
- The Voltic also shares a similarity to the Alarde, which is also based on an Elise in the 2003 game Midnight Club II (another well-known Rockstar game).
- Compliments can be heard upon "gently" pulling up near pedestrians in a Voltic around Rockford Hills, West Vinewood and Downtown Vinewood (they may also take out their camera phones to take a picture of the car).

A federal judge is ordering a stop to coyote hunting near the world's only wild population of endangered red wolves in northeastern North Carolina because the animals are easily confused.
U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle ruled Tuesday that stopping coyote hunts in five counties will reduce red wolf deaths that violate the Endangered Species Act.
Some of the estimated 100 red wolves in the area have been mistaken for coyotes and killed. The two species sometimes interbreed, creating hybrid animals that can appear similar to both.
State wildlife commission head Gordon Myers says now private landowners in Dare, Hyde, Beaufort, Tyrrell, and Washington counties can't shoot coyotes unless they're attacking people or livestock.
Federal wildlife managers are controlling coyotes by releasing sterilized animals that guard their territory but can't multiply.

The clock is ticking for the Cardinals and Albert Pujols. The Cardinals have three weeks from today to get a deal finalized, that's the first day Pujols arrives at Spring Training.
In a new twist ESPN is reporting that trading Pujols is not an option. Sources have told ESPN Pujols, who has the power to veto any trade will do so if approached.
If Pujols were to become a free agent and not resign the Cardinals would get two draft picks in return.
While negotiations have been extremely tight lipped it is believed Pujols is asking for 10 years and 275 million according to ESPN.

The government has announced that mineral exports from Tanzania will now bear Certificate of Origin tags in a move to check the decades-long smuggling of our resources.
Accordingly, it is due to organise a four-day fair-cum-conference dubbed Arusha International Gemstones, Jewellery and Minerals Fair beginning April 26 to tell importers that non-certified gem imports would be restricted.
Briefing journalists in a meeting in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Energy and Minerals minister William Ngeleja said the government has been making efforts to ensure that Tanzanians benefit from the minerals their country is blessed with.
That would be implemented through a wide range of measures, including banning the exportation of raw gemstones.
We believe that the government is determined to curb mineral smuggling and it will therefore walk the talk contrary to what happened in 2010 when it banned the exportation of unprocessed tanzanite in a bid to raise its contribution to the economy through local processing, but only to change its mind only months later.
The initial ban which came in the wake of the landmark enactment of a new mining law aimed at putting the exploitation of gemstones fully in the hands of indigenous Tanzanians.
This however could not materialise and most gemstone mining remains in the hands of locals while major mineral deals in the processing markets are still the preserve of other countries.
The government deserves kudos for taking this bold move in restricting gemstone exports by using the Certificate of Origin. But it ought to be extra vigilant on the use of the document because it is without limitations, sometimes very serious ones.
Under the Certificate of Origin (often abbreviated as CO or COO), a document is completed by the exporter or its agent and certified by the issuing body as proof that the goods in a particular export shipment have been produced, manufactured or processed in a particular country.
Nevertheless, according to the 1923 Geneva Convention relating to the Simplification of Customs Formalities, the term 'origin' does not refer to the country where the goods are shipped from but to the country where they are made.
However, in the event the products are manufactured in two or more countries, 'origin' is obtained in the country where the last substantial, economically justified working or processing is done.
In the case of tanzanite, which is found and mined only in Tanzania but processed in India, Germany and the US, the use of COO would somehow hard to establish.
That apart, an often used practice is that if more than half the cost of producing the goods originates from one country and the 'national content' is more than 50 per cent, then, that country is acceptable as the country of origin.
Determining the origin of a product is important because it is a key basis for applying tariff and other important criteria. But in the odd case of tanzanite, it is crucial that the government come out clear and determine the method that would perfectly work for the benefit of Tanzanians.
In the circumstances, it could as well decide that even exports be wholly handled by Tanzanian citizens themselves or the state as not all exporters need a COO.

Sage to Host Russian Educators
Troy, NY – The Esteves School of Education at The Sage Colleges will host a seminar addressing the challenges of expanding educational delivery systems outside of the United States on Wednesday, October 24 on the Russell Sage College campus.
Experts from Sage, a leader in curriculum content development and delivery, will present their work with populations on the autism scale and the learning and physically disabled. There are large groups of such under-served students around the world.
Under the auspices of the Albany-Tula Alliance and the Open World Forum, a group of prominent Russian educators from the Tula Region will visit Sage to explore new education competencies developed within the Esteves School of Education that make the lives of autistic students more fulfilling and productive.
The symposium will be hosted by Dr. Lori Quigley, dean of the Esteves School of Education and Dr. Daniel Robeson, dean of the School of Management and board member of the Albany-Tula Alliance. Dr. Dana Reineke, chair of the Applied Behavioral Analysis Department, will share her insights in starting-up the Achieve Degree program, Sage's uniquely supportive and individualized degree program designed to meet the needs of students who find the traditional classroom challenging. Representatives from the graduate special education and M.A.T. programs will speak briefly about their area of expertise.
Visiting educators will also present research on new efforts in Russia to be more inclusive of the handicapped or physically and mentally challenged, to integrate modern technology into instruction, and to develop the requisite foreign language and technical/scientific skills to prepare young people for careers in the 21st century.

Quick hits: 'Vampire Diaries' spin-off, 'Grimm' move and more
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- There's lots going on in Charleston and TV land this week, and only so much space for us at the gazz to fill you in on all of it. So, to keep things brief this week, here's a look at some notable happenings -- as well as the usual comings and goings -- on the tube:
• Spin-off sneak: "The Vampire Diaries" potential next season spin-off, "The Originals," launches in a "Diaries" episode at 8 p.m. Thursday. The episode (and series, if picked up) is set in New Orleans, where Klaus heads when he learns of a plot against him. The hour will include some other "Diaries" characters, as well as introduce new ones like Klaus' protégé, Marcel.
• Timeslot change: NBC's "Grimm" will air one more episode in its current 9 p.m. Friday timeslot before moving to its new timeslot at 10 p.m. Tuesday, where, presumably, it will finish the season without further changes. It's replacing the dating show "Ready for Love," which NBC yanked after just two episodes and may or may not air the rest.
• Sitcom start: ABC launches its latest family-centric sitcom, "Family Tools," at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. The show stars Kyle Bornheimer as a ne'er-do-well who takes over his father's handyman business after the old man has a heart attack. It looks about like what you'd expect from a show being launched this late in the season, but it does have character-actor extraordinaire J.K. Simmons as the dad, so it's worth at least a peak for that.
• Network crossover: At 11 p.m. Sunday, AMC will air the first episode of the Sundance Channel miniseries "Rectify." (AMC owns Sundance.) The gritty, Georgia-set show follows a man trying to rebuild his life when DNA evidence frees him from death row after 19 years. The trailer looks really good, and I'll definitely be tuning in. If you do, too, be warned: it appears this will be the only episode on AMC; you'll have to download the others.
Series premieres: "Weird or What?" 9 p.m. Tuesday, Syfy (strange mysteries and unexplained phenomena with William Shatner); "Inside Amy Schumer," 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Comedy Central (sketch and stand-up comedy).
Season premieres: "MythBusters," 9 p.m. Monday, Discovery Channel (10th season premiere revisits show's first myth; preceded by retrospective at 8 p.m.); "Warehouse 13," 10 p.m. Monday, Syfy; "Airport 24/7: Miami," 9 p.m. Tuesday, Travel Channel; "The Little Couple," 10 p.m. Tuesday, TLC.
Returning: "Revenge," 9 p.m., and "Red Widow," 10 p.m. Sunday, ABC; "Criminal Minds," 9 p.m. Wednesday, CBS; "Nashville," 10 p.m. Wednesday, ABC.
Season finales: "Project Runway," 9 p.m. Thursday, Lifetime; "Playing with Fire," 8 p.m. Friday, E!; "My Big Redneck Vacation," 9 p.m. Saturday, CMT; "The Good Wife," 9 p.m. Sunday, CBS; "The Vikings," 10 p.m. Sunday, History; "Bones," 8 p.m., and "The Following," 9 p.m. Monday, Fox; "Forever Young," 10 p.m. Wednesday, TV Land; "The Americans," 10 p.m. Wednesday, FX.
Specials: "Live from Lincoln Center: Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'Carousel' with the New York Philharmonic," 9 p.m. Friday, PBS; "Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited," 8 p.m. Sunday, BBC America (spotlighting the fourth doctor).
Marathon: "Hillbilly Blood," 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday, Discovery Channel. Originally aired on Discovery America last year, it follows two men living deep within the Appalachian Mountains.
Of note: "Oprah: Where are They Now?" includes a tribute to fellow Chicagoian Roger Ebert, 10 p.m. Sunday, OWN.
W.Va. alert: "The Dead Files Revisited" returns to Parkersburg, 10 p.m. Thursday, Travel; state natives David Selby, Chris Sarandon, John Corbett and Don Knotts lend their voices to "Griffin and Minor Cannon," 10:30 p.m. Sunday, PBS2.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- No. 8 Florida shook off a sluggish first half and romped past another Southeastern Conference opponent, beating Georgia 64-47 Wednesday night behind 17 points from Scottie Wilbekin.
Florida (15-2, 5-0 SEC) trailed 27-24 at halftime, making just 1 of 9 attempts beyond the 3-point arc. But the Gators quickly turned things around after the break. Wilbeken and Mike Rosario hits back-to-back treys and forced Georgia into three straight turnovers.
The Gators led the rest of way, holding Georgia (7-11, 1-4) to only one field goal in the first 11 1-2 minutes of the second half.
Despite never leading in the first half, Florida added to its run of dominance in conference play. The Gators have won their first five SEC games by an average of nearly 25 points.

[♪ music ♪] [Adobe Creative Cloud - After Effects CC] [Steve Forde - Sr. Product Manager, Visual Effects] A few short months ago, we shipped After Effects CC. We've actually added a lot of new features, and we're really excited to see what you think. We put a lot of emphasis on performance optimization as well as new features that not only bring new features in terms of creative capability but workflow improvement as well. First area we looked at was GPU. With the After Effects Ray Tracer we wanted to add more cards that would be officially supported by Adobe but also give you the preference and the ability to use cards that we have not supported yet with the After Effects Ray Tracer. At the same time, we saw such a fantastic response to the Warp Stabilizer and the 3D Camera Tracker that we focused on its performance as well. Now the analysis phase can be done almost 8 times faster on most machines. For creative capability we are introducing a feature called Detail-Preserving Upscale. We've seen users working from SD to HD, HD to Ultra HD and 4K productions, and we wanted to be able to borrow some of the technology from Photoshop and bring that into After Effects so that as you work in video workflow you can focus on the lines or the detail edges associated with imagery and be able to scale those up with clarity and not a lot of artifact. At the same time, we're introducing another technology called the Rigid Mask Tracker. We wanted to be able to apply simple effects to masks and have that track to video underneath without having to maybe use too complex technology or something that might be overkill when you're just trying to achieve that very simple effect. Another feature that we've introduced is called property linking. We saw users using compositions with lots of layers and wanted to be able to give you better control as well as laying things out in 3D space via snapping. Last but not least, After Effects is now part of the Adobe Anywhere platform. This means that After Effects artists can now participate with Premiere Pro editors in a collaborative fashion on productions in a way that they have never been able to do before. And to that end, we're actually bringing the Media Browser in from Premiere Pro into After Effects so that managing media becomes a lot easier. [♪ music ♪] [Adobe Creative Cloud] [Adobe]

Start Date" field.
As the new team structure continues to be implemented at Ford plants throughout North America, Process Coaches – formerly Supervisors – are settling into their new roles.
Those who previously oversaw plant operations on the floor are now taking on more of a strategic responsibility for their teams, leveraging resources and instituting continuous improvements.
"The Process Coach plays a critical role in the transformation of our manufacturing facilities," said Liliana Ramirez-Jones, manager, North American Ford Production System (FPS). "By having this structure in place we can engage the Process Coaches not only in just managing the day to day but also in thinking about how can we make the process better tomorrow.
According to Ramirez-Jones, there are three critical aspects to the Process Coaches' new role: coaching and building the capability of team leaders and the overall team; driving continuous improvement in their area; and shifting their thinking from putting "fires" out on a day-to-day basis to being more strategic and looking toward the future.
"The Team Leader needs to focus on the day-to-day activities and the Process Coach needs to evolve into the role of improving the process," she said.
The Process Coach also plays an important part in Issues Escalation.
"They really have their finger on the pulse of the day-to-day activities of the team and issues or abnormalities that come up," explained Ramirez-Jones. "As issues are escalated, it is now their job to communicate them and contact the support organization to make sure that they get resolved."
According to Keith Kleinsmith, director, Human Resources Global Manufacturing, the changing role of the Process Coach is part of a cultural evolution at Ford plants from a more traditional organization where leaders direct employees to a team-based organization of support where each person has a voice.
"It's a complete shift in how we view the business," he said. "It's critical that the role of team leader and process coach become higher priorities in the business. In truth, they are the ones who are going to run the daily business. They are responsible for the operators, delivery of products and maintaining the integrity of our operating systems."
John Milkovich has been a Supervisor at the Dearborn Truck Plant for the last three years and a Process Coach at the Dearborn Truck Plant for the past six months. He describes the changes going on at his facility as "a work in progress."
"It used to be more of a hierarchal structure where everything flowed from the top down. Now it is becoming more of a team environment, but it hasn't completely evolved yet," he said. "Different people are at different places in this journey. I still help put out fires and help out with different things, but I'm doing more with my new role as are the Team Leaders."
Becky Barnell has been in a supervisory role at the Buffalo Stamping Plant since 2001. She assumed the title of Process Coach last fall.
"Instead of being here to log downtime, chase after who needs to come in and fix things and move manpower around – which ends up being a heavy task all day – I'm able to take all that information, compile it into a report and then follow up on the details so that we can put projects in place to make things run better," she said.
Barnell says her new responsibilities make her feel more accomplished.
"It makes me feel like we're actually moving the pendulum," she said. "I don't like coming in to the same problem every day so I think it makes a difference to be able to sit down with the problem and work it to resolution instead of not having the time because the line broke down and I need to be doing something else."
She says she believes in the philosophy behind the FPS and the way that the teams are structured.
"For me, FPS means progress as a whole for all of us instead of me just making a decision on what I know with my own knowledge," she said. "It really pulls in everybody's knowledge and helps us find solutions.
Everybody's ideas are significant and I don't think Ford would be who they are without the knowledge that all these guys bring to the table."
Milkovich concurs.
"I agree in principle that it's the way to go. We're coaching the Team Leaders to fix some of the issues on their own," he said. "In the not-too-distant past, a visit from the Supervisor meant you were probably in trouble and if an Engineer showed up at your job, you were likely getting work added. Now we want people to understand that Process Coaches and the Engineering support groups are a resource for the Team Leader to help solve problems that they can't solve on their own."

Are we ready for the tale investigative journalist Stephen Jimenez, himself gay, spins? I had the pleasure of meeting him at his book reading in the Harvard Coop this month. I told Stephen, referring to his book, that perhaps it's easier to kill the messenger (him) than hear his message. Continue Reading →

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - He's a man of his word...?
WUSA Sports' Dave Owens tweeted "If the #wizards blow this I'll do the sportscast without a shirt on!" He was referring to Friday night's matchup between the Washington Wizards and the Brooklyn Nets. It was close - the final score came to double overtime with Brooklyn 115-113.
So, on the 11 p.m. newscast, he was seen in a shiny red leotard with a black zigzag design.
But in the words of Owens himself, "welcome to the gun show, DMV!"

If you think all bonsai look like mini trees in somebody's zen garden, you haven't seen Takanori Aiba's pieces yet. The Japanese artist combines bonsai art form with Lilliputian architecture design to create some of the most stunning pieces you will ever see.
On his website, Aiba says his crossover creations are the fruit of his days as a (plain) bonsai maker and maze illustrator. None of his designs are derived from real structures — all of them are products of his imagination. But because the details are so elaborate, people usually think he copies the designs of real buildings.
So just how much time does he take to create one of these exactly? Aiba tells Tecca that each piece is so detailed, it takes him anywhere from three months to a year and a half. The bonsai in the first image below took him six months to finish, while the one in the second picture called Hawaiian Pineapple Resort took him a full year.
Unfortunately, you have to go to Japan if you want to see these artworks in person. Aiba is looking for more opportunities to exhibit his work, though one of his pieces called Hotel de Michelin is currently displayed in his restaurant in Tokyo.
