|Valdore, a Romulan male (2154)
|A female Romulan (2268)
The Romulans were a humanoid race from the planet Romulus in the Alpha Quadrant. The Romulans were biological cousins of Vulcans, as they were descended from those who rejected Surak's reforms during the Time of Awakening. The Romulan Star Empire was the Romulan state and one of the major powers known in the galaxy.
- See main article: Romulan history
Ancient origins
Commander Spock once theorized that Sargon's people may have colonized Vulcan some 600,000 years ago. Sargon believed that Humans and Vulcans (and therefore also Romulans) might even be descendants of their early travelers. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")
With the discovery of ancient humanoid progenitors in the 24th century, most humanoid lifeforms in the known galaxy were found to have a "seed" genetic code guiding their evolution to the humanoid form. (TNG: "The Chase")
Modern origins
When Surak's reforms of embracing logical principles and rejecting emotions spread rapidly across Vulcan in the 4th century, a minority rejected Surak's ideals. Those who marched beneath the banner of the raptor, which became the symbol of the Romulan Star Empire, departed Vulcan in the 4th century. Later, some of their descendants established settlements on the planets Calder II, Dessica II, Draken IV, Yadalla Prime, and Barradas III. An ancient offshoot civilization, called the Debrune, at one time existed on Barradas III, but it had died out by the 24th century. (ENT: "Kir'Shara"; TNG: "Gambit, Part I")
At some point, another group settled on twin planets that became known as Romulus and Remus. While Romulus was a Class M planet, Remus was a harsh planet notable only for its dilithium deposits. These two worlds were the foundation of an interstellar empire that expanded to many worlds, reaching across some of the Alpha Quadrant. Eventually that power came to be known as the Romulan Star Empire. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I", "Gambit, Part II"; Star Trek Nemesis)
In 2387, a star close to Romulus went supernova. Although Ambassador Spock attempted to prevent the supernova from striking the planet using red matter, he was ultimately unsuccessful and Romulus was destroyed. A single mining vessel, the Narada survived and traveled back in time to destroy the Federation in order to allow the Romulans to conquer everything. While Vulcan and most of the Vulcan species was destroyed, the Narada and her crew were destroyed in the Battle of Earth by the crew of the Enterprise led by the James T. Kirk of the new timeline. (Star Trek)

Mirror universe
In the mirror universe, the Romulans appeared to be uninvolved in the conflict between the Terran Rebellion and the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.
Benjamin Sisko, posing as his mirror universe counterpart, indicated to Jennifer Sisko that he was going to visit the Romulans to see if he could get their support. This was, in reality, a ruse to explain his return to Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass")
External affairs
First contact
Romulans were aware of Humanity for some time before Earth knew of them. Infiltrating the highest levels of the Vulcan High Command, the Romulans were impressed and confused by Humans. The Enterprise NX-01 inadvertently encountered a Romulan minefield at one point, officially the first time Humanity became aware of the Romulans. Even after fighting the Earth-Romulan War, it wasn't until the 23rd century that Humans actually made visual contact with Romulans. (ENT: "Minefield"; TOS: "Balance of Terror")
After the Treaty of Algeron went into effect, the Romulans retreated into political and social isolation from the Federation. In late 2364 an unprovoked attack on a Romulan outpost near the Federation neutral zone occurred. The Romulans initially suspected the Federation had executed the attack but it was later learned that the Borg were responsible. This event marked the end of Romulan political isolationism with the Federation. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
Relationships with other species
In keeping with their xenophobic and arguably racist attitudes, the Romulans tend to conquer species rather than form alliances with them, and individual Romulans tend to treat other species with varying degrees of disdain.
That did not prevent them from employing diplomacy when it suited their purposes. Soon after their emergence from a century of isolation in the mid 2260s, they had established at least two embassies with the Federation. One such embassy was a three-way endeavor on the planet Nimbus III, along with the Klingon Empire, and the other was on Earth itself. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Klingons and Romulans once shared an alliance for a number of years, beginning in the 2260s. Over the years, a number of incidents, including the Khitomer Massacre, led the Klingons to develop a deep-seated hatred for the Romulans, and the Romulans were arguably the species that Klingon society in general despises most of all. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
A Cardassian embassy existed on Romulus for a time, and Elim Garak was "employed" there as a "gardener," suggesting that the two species maintained an active diplomatic relationship. (DS9: "Broken Link") In 2371 Romulan and Cardassian agents in the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order cooperated in an attempted attack on the Dominion. (DS9: "Improbable Cause", "The Die is Cast") The Romulans had certainly cut ties with the Cardassians by the time they entered in to the Dominion War, but when their relationship ended prior to this was unclear.
One common saying among the Romulans was "Never turn your back on a Breen." While this statement could be taken as partially humorous and not in itself indicative of hostilities between the two species, the Breen Thot's apparent condition that the Breen be given Romulus in exchange for their help in the Dominion War suggested there was some degree of unfriendly history between the two. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light", "Strange Bedfellows")
The species that Romulans seem to dislike most, however, were Vulcans, and this feud goes back many centuries. The two powers once fought in a war that lasted 100 years, that was ignited due to a misunderstanding created by one of Q's self-destructive stunts. (VOY: "Death Wish")
The two species would remain distrustful of one another for an incredibly long time, but some Romulans grew tired of this, and a grassroots movement for reunification of the two species was active for a time on Romulus. It was generally assumed that after the split, Romulans and Vulcans were unaware of their common ancestry until the 23rd century. (ENT: "Kir'Shara"; TOS: "Balance of Terror")
Due to their shared ancestry, Vulcans and Romulans possessed very similar physiology, including varied skin color. Romulans had pointed ears, eyebrows that were arched and up-swept, and copper-based blood that appeared green when oxygenated in the arteries, or copper or rust-colored when deoxygenated in the veins. (Star Trek Generations) Most Romulans had two brow ridges above the bridge of their nose, forming a V-shape on the forehead. However, a minority of Romulans lack these ridges, making them outwardly indistinguishable from Vulcans.
The Romulan heart is gray in color. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
Despite their common ancestry there were also many subtle internal physiological differences between Vulcans and Romulans. Their life signs registered distinctly enough on the scanners of the USS Enterprise in 2268 that officer Pavel Chekov was able to distinguish his crewmate Spock from the crew complement of a Romulan starship, though he did note the difficulty of the task. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")
The physical differences between Romulans and Vulcans were evidenced in Dr. Beverly Crusher's failed attempt to treat a Romulan, Patahk, who had suffered advanced synaptic breakdown, with the methods used to treat Vulcans. In fact, it was later determined that the genetic similarities between Romulans and Klingons allowed for the two species to have a compatible ribosome match to effect treatment. (TNG: "The Enemy")
The Terothka virus was a disease unique to Romulan physiology. Romulans were also susceptible to Tuvan Syndrome. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle"; DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
There were numerous instances of Romulans successfully mating with other species, as evidenced in Sela (Romulan/Human), Ba'el (Romulan/Klingon), and the father of Simon Tarses (Romulan/Human).
Romulans lacked the rigorous mental disciplines developed by the followers of Surak. They were a passionate people, easily moved to extreme emotions. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")
However, like their biological cousins, Romulans possessed greater physical strength than that of a Human. (Star Trek)
In Romulan society, military/political rank influences social standing. Because Romulans were members of a militant civilization, who considered defending the Romulan Empire and their own personal honor of foremost importance, military service and its accompanying rank were decisive factors in determining social eminence. (TOS: "Balance of Terror") However, while the military played an important role in Romulan society, it was the Romulan Senate that controls the government. (Star Trek Nemesis)
At one point in history, Romulus was a sovereign nation ruled by an Empress, as indicated by Q. (VOY: "The Q and the Grey") By the 23rd century the highest position of power was held by the Praetor, who presided over the Romulan Senate. (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; Star Trek Nemesis) The Praetor headed the Continuing Committee, which was comprised of the Empire's most elite individuals, which make decisions of the utmost importance. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
By the 24th century, the government of Romulus was dependent upon the Tal Shiar, the Romulan secret police, to maintain order and stability among both civilians and the military. The Tal Shiar was known for its brutal tactics, which included routine kidnapping, torture, and assassination. Many Romulans fear even expressing dissenting opinions as not to spark the interest of the Tal Shiar. There was also indications that tension existed between the military and the Tal Shiar. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy")
Romulan society was based upon a highly structured caste system. Unlike most of the highly evolved species in the Alpha Quadrant, Romulans still practiced slavery, specifically the Remans, which they used for slave labor and as shock troops. (Star Trek Nemesis)
Romulans tended to be highly xenophobic, engaging in extended periods of isolationism, and could be perceived as outright racist to other species, believing themselves to be superior. At least some Romulans believe that one day the Romulan Empire will rule the entire galaxy. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone", "Data's Day", "The Enemy") According to Miles O'Brien, there was no piece of technology in existence that the Romulans didn't claim they invented before everyone else. (DS9: "Explorers")
Romulan society did not appear to have gender biases. Both males and females commanded warships, could obtain high political positions and could be members of the Tal Shiar. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; TNG: "Contagion", "Face of the Enemy"; DS9: "Image in the Sand")

- "Paranoia is a way of life for you, isn't it?"

The Romulans lack the rigorous mental disciplines developed by the followers of Surak. Like the Vulcans, the Romulans have given up unrestrained violence as a way of life. However, in the case of the Romulans this has been replaced with a controlled deviousness: As a species the Romulans were generally thought of as duplicitous, a reputation reinforced by the actions of their government over time. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
During the 23rd century, Romulans practiced the execution of state criminals, by means both painful and unpleasant. Prior to the presenting of the charges, the Romulans allow the accused a Right of Statement. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")
Reluctance to rely on overt hostility generally lead the Romulans to play a waiting game with their opponents, attempting to manipulate an adversary into breaking – or appearing to break – an agreement so as to give them a solid justification for striking. (TNG: "The Defector", "The Pegasus")
They were also well known for fearing disgrace over death. (TAS: "The Practical Joker") With this frame of mind, Romulan parents dispose of any newborn carrying birth defects as the alternative would mean a waste of resources. (TNG: "The Enemy")
The totalitarian nature of Romulan society, in which dissent was often a crime and Romulan security officers masquerade as citizens, had led many Romulans to be extremely paranoid. (TNG: "Unification I")
A common Romulan courtesy was the saying "Jolan Tru", although what exactly this means is unclear, as it is used both in context of greeting and goodbye. (ENT: "United"; TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II")
In the 24th century, a dissident movement began to gain momentum, based on the desire to learn about Vulcan and their ideals. The movement's ultimate goal was the reunification of Romulus and Vulcan. Ambassador Spock was deeply involved in this movement. (TNG: "Unification I", "Face of the Enemy")
While many arguably belligerent and militaristic species, such as Nausicaans, Breen, and even Klingons often sell their fighting skills to the highest bidder, Romulans were rarely, if ever, seen involved in such activities. This was possibly due to the apparent superiority complex of most Romulans, many of whom would likely find such work beneath them, and would prefer to serve the Romulan Empire in some capacity. However, Miles O'Brien once played a game of Tongo with a Romulan mercenary. (DS9: "Change of Heart") In cases of anonymity, they were known for commonly using hired assassins, such as the Flaxians, to conduct their off-world "justice." (DS9: "Improbable Cause")

The Romulans were created by writer Paul Schneider and introduced in "Balance of Terror". He modeled them on the Romans, naming their planets after the mythical founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. The Romulans next appeared in "The Deadly Years" via recycled footage of the Romulan Bird-of-Prey, before making a physical reappearance in "The Enterprise Incident".
In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Saavik was intended to be half-Vulcan, half-Romulan. The Romulans were meant to be the villains in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, but director Leonard Nimoy preferred the more "theatrical" Klingons. The Klingon Bird-of-Prey was meant to be stolen from the Romulans, but this information was left out of the film.
The Romulans finally reappeared in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone". Their reappearance in that episode proved the species had lost none of its appeal. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 12, p. 21)
For their appearances on Star Trek: The Next Generation, makeup artist Michael Westmore gave the Romulans V-shaped forehead ridges to "compete" with the Klingon redesign introduced in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (The Art of Star Trek) The Romulan ridges also developed from an effort to differentiate the Romulans from Vulcans and it was found that this facial feature complemented a change to the typical Romulan hairstyle that Westmore wanted to introduce. He said of the restyled Romulans, "I gave them a little wedge to the center of the hair on their forehead instead of the Vulcans' straight-across bang." (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 12, p. 26) The redesigned Romulan makeup remained for not only all future Star Trek productions set in the 24th century but also for when Romulans were featured on Star Trek: Enterprise. The makeup was so extensive that it required the actor's head to be measured during pre-production (at least, it did in the case of Vaughn Armstrong, when preparing to play Telek R'Mor in VOY: "Eye of the Needle"). [2]
Prior to the initial airing of Star Trek: Enterprise's season 2 finale "The Expanse", many fans at first incorrectly speculated that the Romulans were responsible for the attack on Earth depicted in that episode (thought to be the initial volley in the Romulans' previously established war with Earth) and would be the focus of the series' third season, rather than the multi-specied Xindi. Executive Producer Brannon Braga was of the opinion that, had the Romulans indeed been used, they would have become "old" and less satisfying during the relatively lengthy course of the third season arc, though he also stated that this did not exempt the species from appearing in that season, in which they nevertheless ultimately did not feature. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 145, p. 32)
The Romulans would have had a grander future had the animated series Star Trek: Final Frontier been produced instead of the film Star Trek: set in the 2460s, a war caused by Omega particle detonations (which was not actually the Romulans' fault) permitted them to conquer Qo'noS, destroy Andoria, and forced the Vulcans to leave the Federation to negotiate reunification. The Earth-Romulan War was also intended to be explored in the fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise and the film Star Trek: The Beginning, neither of which were produced. Brannon Braga and Manny Coto considered making "Future Guy" a Romulan and revealing T'Pol's father was a Romulan agent.

Diane Duane created her own take on the Romulans in her novels, in which she reveals their true name to be the Rihannsu. Duane also depicted the Romulans as being extinct in the mirror universe novel Dark Mirror, as they chose to commit mass suicide rather than become subjects of the Terran Empire following the Battle of Cheron.
Much of the Romulans' origins are explored in the Vulcan's Soul trilogy and the five Rihannsu books. Both sources agree that the exodus was led by S'task, a former disciple of Surak. In Duane's novel The Romulan Way, as the inhabitants of the planet Vulcan turn to the philosophy of Surak en masse, the followers of S'task decide that they can no longer remain on Vulcan. As part of their exodus, they intentionally invent a new culture and a new language. In Vulcan's Soul, the Romulans' ancestors left Vulcan as a contingency plan approved by Surak, should the wars on Vulcan have completely destroyed their civilization. The eagle emblem was inspired by a huge bird native to Romulus that clutched eggs in its talons.
The comic book Star Trek: Countdown and the video game Star Trek Online depicts the lead up and the aftermath of Romulus' destruction, primarily caused by the Romulan Senate ignoring Spock's warnings about the supernova, and the Vulcan Science Council's refusal to lend them red matter. In spite of this, Federation-Romulan relations had been improving and Romulan citizens had become less xenophobic, as indicated in the ending of Star Trek Nemesis. After the supernova, Federation aid is either welcomed or met with suspicion and even hostility, while the Klingon Empire seizes the opportunity to conquer Romulan territory. Despite continuing in-fighting between the survivors, a new capital called Rihan is established on Rator III.
Romulan religious beliefs vary in non-canon sources. The Way of D'era sourcebook states the Romulans believe in the Way of D'era. Tellus, an enemy of Surak, taught that the inhabitants of Vorta Vor – the mythological world mentioned in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier – had visited the Vulcans and inspired them to become the supreme rulers of the galaxy. This explains the superiority complex and their hatred for Vulcans, whom they see as traitors. In Duane's My Enemy, My Ally, it is said the Romulans worship the classical elements of fire, air, water, earth and the "Archelement" which oversees the others. In Killing Time, they worship a demon called Bettatan'ru. The Countdown/Nero story portrays the Romulans as polytheistic.
It is explained in Vulcan's Soul that the Romulans rejected the telepathy of the Vulcans and slaughtered or enslaved the telepathic ones among them during their exodus to the Romulan system: the telepaths became the Remans. This explains why no Romulan displays telepathic skills in canon. In Nero, the titular character takes a drug that enables him to meditate, and to develop the skills to communicate telepathically, without mind melding. The Way of D'era adds that the Romulans lack the physical strength of the Vulcans because they no longer live on a harsh environment. Killing Time shows Romulans slightly adverse to the effects of pon farr.

Xcel Energy and Boulder in conflict
City wants own utility, Xcel says city will pay dearly
One by-product of making the grid "smarter" is the fact that it can be contagious. The smarts, that is.
I recently posited that smarts will spread to all players on the system, from homeowners becoming more self-sufficient to cities breaking away. (See "Smart Grid: Utility Threat or Opportunity?") Defection—that is, "municipalization"—is always a possibility that could take a very large customer out of a utility's base.
Such is the case in Boulder, Colo., which is mulling separation from Xcel Energy, which has served the foothills city for decades. Boulder is home to about 95,000 people and the city estimates it delivers about $100 million in annual revenue to Xcel for electricity and natural gas. Boulder is also home to Xcel's SmartGridCity pilot that is on the cusp of reporting results, outcomes overshadowed by controversy over Xcel's pursuit of $45 million in cost recovery for the project.
Municipalization, in Boulder's eyes, would allow it to pursue higher penetration of renewable energy more quickly than Xcel plans to do so, which will require advanced elements of the "smart grid."
Officially, Boulder seeks to ensure reliable supplies while controlling consumer costs, reduce carbon emissions while promoting economic development and local control. But Boulder's fractious populace is anything but unanimous on the issue.
Xcel's position is that it can help Boulder to attain its goals, but requires a fresh franchise agreement that would lock in Boulder as a customer for 20 years. Talks between the two parties broke down recently over prospective ballot questions pushed by both sides.
Next week, Boulder City Council will have a second reading of potential November ballot questions. One ballot question: Will voters authorize the end of the city's relationship with Xcel Energy and allow the city to issue bonds to pay for Xcel's assets in pursuit of municipalization? (One possible variant would be to cap that bonding authority, versus making it unlimited.) Another: Should the city extend and double its existing Climate Action Plan tax, due to expire in 2013, from a half-cent per kilowatt hour to a full cent? (The proceeds would pay the $1 million annual cost of legal and engineering fees to explore municipalization.) The city is also exploring whether to raise those funds through an occupation tax on revenue from the sale of electricity and natural gas. The latter burden would fall heavier on commercial utility customers.
Xcel had offered to build a 200-megawatt wind farm whose output would be allotted to the city and proposed that the wind farm offer and a renewed franchise agreement be presented to voters as separate ballot questions. The city responded that renewal of the franchise depended on the wind farm, thus the two should appear as a single ballot question.
The two sides have taken disparate views of the value of Xcel's assets, which yesterday led Xcel's incoming CEO Ben Fowke to tell the utility's investors that municipalization is a "bad idea," predict that Boulder voters will reject it, but, if it passes Xcel will "get the price we are entitled to" for its infrastructure.
Boulder has estimated the initial cost of municipalization at $6 million in upfront costs, $121 million for Xcel's infrastructure and $60 million in startup costs. Xcel puts the cost at more than $500 million. Boulder holds that Xcel's stranded costs are zero, while the utility values them at $355 million.
Three local groups have taken divergent positions on the issue and letters to the editor at The Boulder Daily Camera reflect a wide spectrum of opinion among potential voters.
The Boulder Clean Energy Business Coalition, whose members include renewable energy companies that might benefit from municipalization, noted that Boulder has studied municipalization for five years and is committed only to exploring it, not implementing it.
The Boulder Smart Energy Coalition, formed earlier this month, urges caution and more fact-finding due to the risk that municipalization would result in markedly higher electricity rates that would hamper the local economy.
An existing group, known as Boulder Tomorrow, in May brought in a former Las Cruces, New Mexico, city councilman who said his city ran up huge costs—tens of millions of dollars—in both legal fees to get local utility El Paso Electric to sell its distribution assets as well as paying the costs of stranded assets, which it underestimated. The city councilman later told the Daily Camera that Xcel paid his travel costs to appear in Boulder but Xcel said that Boulder Tomorrow, of which it is a member, paid for the appearance.
Letters to the editor at the Daily Camera run the gamut of opinions on the topic, with a lot of emphasis on either mistrust of Xcel or mistrust of the Boulder city council.
Next we'll know whether questions regarding municipalization and its funding will appear on the Nov. 1 ballot and what those questions will be. One city councilman has proposed an "off-ramp" plan in case municipalization is derailed by further cost estimates and fact finding.

Municipalization - Glass Half Empty
"Municipalization" is like a glass half empty or half full. I say this because it is only part of a meaningful solution. The" full glass" or other half of the equation that is missing in the discussions is "Aggregation". The question that the leaders of Boulder must ask themselves is, which is more important to the city of Boulder, the end customers or the infrastructure? Once they answer that question for themselves then I believe they will see and begin to use both parts of the solution together, "Municipal Aggregation".
The reason that this is a viable option is for the same reason that we no longer talk about telephone long distance providers and how they are now transparent to the end user. Smart Grid technology makes "Municipal Aggregation" a real option for energy markets, that is, if they are deployed and used correctly. You can even satisfy Boulder's "fractious populace" with an Opt-Out clause for those who wish to continue with Xcel.

Boulder Municipalization
Entergy-New Orleans operated for many years as New Orleans Public Service Inc. (NOPSI), a privately owned utility. In 1985, the regulation of NOPSI was transferred from the Louisiana PSC to the New Orleans City Council, which perhaps could be a 'compromise alternative' for Boulder as well? This arrangement made sense here b/c New Orleans is a city/parish (county) - meaning that the city and parish/county boundaries are congruent - and which also define the Entergy-New Otleans service territory.
Since then, there have been several attempts by the NOLA City Council to wrest control away from Entergy and convert 'NOPSI' to a municipally-owned utility. But despite stalwart efforts to do so, they have never been able to make the numbers work, probably due in large part to Entergy-owned asset valuations and futher complicated by ownership arrangements regarding Entergy's Grand Gulf nuclear plant that go back to the early 1970s. Bottom line, IMO Boulder probably has a rough road ahead should they choose to pursue formation of a municipal utility from Xcel assets...
Boulder's success will, as the mayor of Las Cruces points out, turn on the valuation of Xcel's distribution assets within the city limits. From the standpoint of an engineer who knows almost nothing about appraisals, there appear to be four options. The first is depreciated book value, which is how the assets are carried on Xcel's balance sheet. The second is replacement cost, which is likely how Xcel will value them. The third is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis that uses utility rates. Finally, a professional appraiser could estimate what a financial buyer would be willing to pay for the assets, which might just be option 3 with some adjustments.
If I had to adjudicate this dispute, I'd use the DCF approach, but with a higher discount rate than utilities typically assume, because I'm becoming more and more convinced that falling rooftop solar PV costs are going to change the power business and take a bite out of the value of utility assets.

Tanzania representatives in the Confederation Cup, Simba SC, will play an international buildup match against Malawi national soccer team between May 24 and May 28 at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Msimbazi Street side will use the game to prepare for the Confederation Cup in case they will eliminate Al-Ahly Shandy of Sudan next weekend.
The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Secretary-General, Angetile Osiah, said yesterday that apart from playing Simba, the visitors will also play a trial game against Taifa Stars.
"Malawi has written to us requesting to play with Taifa Stars and one of the top local sides," said Osiah Osiah, adding that TFF has proposed Simba to play against them because it is the only side competing in the international meet.
He said that TFF was coordinating with Simba officials to see if they will be available for the game.
He said if Simba will agree, the visiting side will arrive in the country on May 24 and leave on May 29.
"It will be a good trial for Simba in case they eliminate Al-Ahly Shandy next weekend," the secretary general added.
Simba hit Al-Ahly Shandy 3-0 in the first leg match in Dar es Salaam last weekend. The teams will meet in the return leg in Addis Ababa next weekend.
Yesterday, Simba Vice chairman Geofrey Nyange 'Kaburu' said they were waiting to be informed officially by TFF about the trial game.

Hi, I originally sent this message to User talk:Slayingthehalcyon but he still hasn't responded, and since you are one of the other head bureaucrats, i'm redirecting the question to you :P. I spoke with Slaying about a week ago on the chat, and I asked if I could take some screenshots of the X & Y trailer, he gave me the Ok, but he said that I have to give the credit to myself. So I was wondering if it also goes for cropping as well. (I really could care less either way, but he said it about screenshots so...) And about the Ninfia images (that I requested him to rename), those images are outdated so you could delete them if you wish. And one last thing!

Mary Alice Smalls was a member of the New Riverside Café, a workers' cooperative in the Cedar-Riverside community in the 1970s. Known as the Haight–Ashbury of the Midwest, Cedar-Riverside was a national center for counter culture, and the New Riverside Café was known as the community's living room where customers could pay what they could afford. According to Smalls, "There were very few people of color that knew about the co-op and those that were interested were interested in alternatives to capitalism. Some were more militant than others." It was that militancy that seemed to undo the work of the cooperative. "Decisions were made by consensus, anybody could block a decision, sometimes people would block a decision for political reasons that were not linked to the issue at hand." said Smalls.

A system to let the player cover from gun fire is a feature that has debuted with the introducing of over-the-shoulder view in Grand Theft Auto III and has been immensely expanded in Grand Theft Auto IV. Games that uses the bird's eye view has very little form of cover, mainly only running behind objects to hide from gun fire.
GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories
In GTA III, in order to cover from gun fire, the player is limited to running behind cars and structure. With the introduction of crouching in GTA Vice City, the player can run behind shorter structures that are otherwise pointless in GTA III so the player's body is less exposed to gun fire. This is especially advantageous on the PC version where the bullets travel to the crosshair and not obstructed by barriers usually experienced using the console or classic controls. Powerful weapons that can only be targeted in first-person view in the console or classic controls are extremely useful in the PC version being able to target in third person view. GTA San Andreas added the additional ability to travel while crouching and rolling over sideways while crouching.
Grand Theft Auto IV dramatically expanded this idea into a system with a simple press of a button. The cover button can let the player automatically find a nearby object to hide behind. A great number of animations are available just to approach the cover, including running into cover, rolling into cover, sliding into cover, and going from cover to cover.
Once behind cover, the player can strafe left or right if there is room, hugging close to the cover. At the edge of a cover, the player can blind fire without exposing the major parts of the body to receive minimal damage. A major disadvantage to this is that accuracy is dramatically reduced. The new system allows the player to throw projectiles and explosives without damaging oneself in the process. The player can shoot out of cover instead and after the player stops shooting, the character will automatically hide behind cover.
Grand Theft Auto V utilizes similar cover mechanics to those in GTA IV. With the press of a button, the player will automatically find the nearest solid object to take cover behind. The player can also blind fire around corners without exposing himself to gunfire, but at the cost of reduced shooting accuracy.

May 6, 2016
Just hours after the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, protesters rallied against gun violence.
Dozens of protesters and members of a coalition of gun control advocates gathered in front of the white house Friday evening rallying for stricter gun controls.
They are calling on the president to take immediate action against gun violence.
"Today is the day, Mr. President, we know you care about this issue, you've said it before, caring about this issue, expressing condolences is not enough," said one protestor.
That "today is the day" comment was in direct response to a comment made earlier Friday by white house spokesman Jay Carney who said in his briefing "today is not the day" to discuss gun control.

This is how I rate myself, exercise-wise: first a walker, second a hiker, third a runner.
But now I have a dilemma: I ran a half-marathon on May 16, so does that elevate running to first?
I have a love/hate relationship with running. It's usually somewhere in the middle of a run — especially if we're doing hills or intervals — that I think, "Is this really my idea of fun?"
The answer, I must admit, is yes.Running is a challenge — you breathe hard and your legs burn and your feet take a heck of a pounding.
But when I slow to a walk after a run I feel invigorated and proud of what my body can do.
That's how I felt May 16, when I crossed the finish line at the Great Idaho Potato Marathon in Boise (a half-marathon, 10K and 5K were part of it too).
My two running partners and I can say we officially finished in under two hours: 1 hour, 59 minutes, 59.8 seconds.
It was hard — I won't pretend it wasn't.
For the last two months we trained in the early morning in temperatures varying from 10 degrees to 40 (after the 10-degree day we agreed that it had to be 20 or above before we ran outside).
The Boise run started at 7 a.m., and by the time we finished the temperature was near 70 degrees. And my shoes started rubbing wrong somewhere around mile 10.
I was so glad to see that finish line ... though I didn't appreciate the spectator who hollered, "only 200 more yards!" and another who yelled, "it's just around the corner!"
They should have just clapped.
Afterward, as I sat in the grass sharing grapes with my daughter, I couldn't help but think of how far I've come with running.
I played tennis in high school, and always dreaded our required run during practice.
Then I discovered the social part, and running became an escape from the everyday trials of life.
I've had different running partners over the years due to someone moving away, or pregnancy, which makes running a bit uncomfortable.
But all shared something in common: conversation.
Women and men are different in a lot of ways — countless books have been written on that very topic — but the one I understand the best is the need to chat during exercise.
We call it our therapy — an hour in the morning without kids or husbands when we can just talk about anything that's on our mind.
And we're good at adjusting our strides to ensure we can carry on a conversation — even if it comes in short, breathless phrases rather than full sentences.
I never fail to feel better by the end of a run, both physically and mentally.
So yes, I guess I am a runner.
But I have to give credit to all my running buddies who have helped keep me motivated — it's a long, empty, lonely road when you have to run by yourself.

Sol Solidari
this wiki
The Cooperative Association Sol Solidari was created as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Empordà, Catalonia, Spain in 2008. The main objective of Sol Solidari is to provide solar cookers, solar ovens, improved stoves, fireless cookers, solar lights and other appropiate technologies to rural communities in the developing world. Sol Solidari is formed by people with experience in sanitary cooperation projects on one hand, and with people with experience in environmental projects, working together on joint projects that combine both environmental and sanitary ojectives.
Whenever is possible, the devices are locally manufactured, where formation on its use is carried out with the help of a local counterpart, which monitor progress on the use of the devices. We commercialize the units and we also give microcredits to spread its use.
Sol Solidari receives grants from governmental institutions, and also donations from private institutions and citizens for the financing of their projects.
Our area of activity has been until now Africa, currently working in Ethiopia, Mali, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Uganda and Namibia in partnership with a local based NGO.
Our priority areas are:
- Sahel: Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan, South Sudan
- Horn of Africa: Ethiopia.
Recent news and developments
- November 2011: Sol Solidari introduces 8 institutional rocket stoves in Cameroon. (Read more)
- April 2011: Europastry is working with Sol Solidari to reduce poverty and desertification in Africa (English, español)
- March 2011: Big success of the sale of subsidized solar ovens in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The people in this area now have seen the cookers function, and understand the benefits of these solar ovens, that we began to offer to them on a subsidized basis in early 2011. (Read more)
- February 2009: Sol Solidari has finished his 2008 Ethiopian project in the Lalibela region and Abune Yosef Mountains (Bugna woreda). One hundred cookers and ovens have been distributed among seven villages of the area. You can see how the project was done at our web page or download this slideshow (in catalan).
- November 2009: We move to Ethiopia to continue our project (second phase) in Lalibela region. Our aim is to establish a permanent cookers workshop in collaboration with our counterpart Bereket Dessie and where we will distribute subsidized cookers and ovens.
- December 2009: We will go to Mali to carry out the first phase of the Bandiagara region project. In the same way than we did in Ethiopia last year we will introduce some cookers in the villages and, furthermore, in this project we will introduce economical stoves and solar water pumps.

I fought the yard. And the yard won.I even have a battle wound to prove it. A small 1 1/2-inch gash on the inside of my right arm tells the story of my inability to complete the simple task of mowing my lawn.You can begin making fun of me at any time. If you're not now, you surely will be by the time you finish this column.It all started when I rented this lovely little house in Pewee Valley — thanks to my wonderful landlords Jeff and Jennifer Hignite — that I was bound and determined to make my home.

Milica Bellic (Serbian: Милица Белић) is the mother of two sons, Niko Bellic and his deceased brother, Josef Bellic and the aunt of Roman Bellic. She is not seen in the game, however a few e-mails are sent to Niko's email inbox during the course of the Grand Theft Auto IV storyline. In her emails, she mentions that she feels guilty that Niko was corrupted by the environment that he grew up in.
Towards the end of the storyline, Milica sends an e-mail to Niko confirming Roman's marriage, happy that Roman is "settling down." Milica loves her son, and likes to know that he is safe.
- Milica is a purely Serbian name from the 13th century. In Serbia, the name Milica is popular among girls.
- She speaks to her son in Serbian "Nadam se da si dobro i da si srecan u Americi." which translates as "I hope you are well and are happy in America."
- Milica's e-mail address is <email@example.com>.
- If you select to negatively reply to her e-mails, the answer will be the same answer as if you had chosen to positively reply to her.

As the dust begins to settle on the recently ended season in the Mainland premier league, we can as well start to reflect on what has been an eventful season in local football.
One of the major talking points of course was Simba's title victory, but apart from the perennial rivalry that the Msimbazi street side have with Yanga, another huge highlight was the fact that Azam came extremely close to finally loosening the vice-like grip of Simba and Yanga over local football.
This then seems to suggest that Tanzanian football is on the verge of venturing into uncharted waters, where new territory in local football will be conquered by the bold and the brave.
Upheaval though was the dominant theme of the hour at the half-way stage as both Simba and Yanga made the jaw-slackening decision to fire their Ugandan coaches: Moses Basena and Sam Timbe respectively.
On the surface of things, there seemed to have been no apparent wisdom in this move as at the time, Simba had been sitting pretty atop the table, while their fierce foes Yanga were in second place.
While Simba went on to win the title, one could make the case that Yanga never quite recovered from this lapse in judgment which was arguably obvious to most people except themselves.
Indeed, although Yanga did go on to pose a significant threat to Simba's eventual success in the title race, they also suffered from internal rows and more importantly, they would later unveil the worst face of local football which we rarely get to see.
Consider the infamous attack of a centre referee by some Yanga players in a league game towards the latter half of the league campaign.
Indeed, this despicable incident left many quarters in local football shocked and disgusted and it prompted all stakeholders of football to pause and do some intense soul searching about the direction in which our football was heading.
Nevertheless, let us end on a positive note and hail Simba who have emerged, for the umpteenth time as the best team in the country for yet another season.

It's time to start packing for those planned-months-ago summer getaways. And if there's one thing I know, it's that ensembles need to be tailored to specific activities. (I just gave away that I'm an overpacker, didn't I?)
Everyone knows what to wear on the sand, so dig out all those bikinis, swim trunks, one-pieces, and board shorts. But when it comes to boardwalk-lunching, pier-wandering, and late-night adventures, the area becomes a little grey. Until now:
Our Tommy Bahama Men's, Women's, and Swim Boutiques open Saturday, June 1, at 11AM ET.

How do I find information on student housing?
For all residential information, please visit http://reslife.binghamton.edu.
How do I pay first semester fees?
For all fees and payment questions, visit the student accounts page at http://reslife.binghamton.edu.
Can I take a graduate course while I am an undergraduate student?
Undergraduate students who are within eight credits of graduation may register up to two graduate-level courses and receive graduate credit, provided the graduate courses are not used to meet the undergraduate degree requirements. When graduate courses are not taken with the intent of fulfilling undergraduate requirements, such graduate hours do not count toward full-time status for financial aid purposes.
To receive graduate credit for such courses, the undergraduate student must complete the Petition to Receive Graduate Credits as an Undergraduate form (available from the Registrar or the Graduate School). This form is then filed with the Registrar and the Student Accounts Office before registration.
While graduate courses taken by undergraduates (and not used to meet undergraduate degree requirements) will appear on the undergraduate transcript, these courses are not counted toward the undergraduate degree or used in the calculation of the final GPA. The credits may be counted toward the graduate degree.
An exception to these policies is made for undergraduate students admitted to combined bachelors/master's degree programs.
I'd like to be an Undergraduate Course Assistant. How do I apply?
A link to a Google Doc will be e-mailed to students each semester sometime after early registration for the following semester. The doc will ask you to fill out information about the courses you have taken and what grades you received for those courses. It will also ask what your first, second and third choices are. The professor of each course can add anyone he/she chooses from the list or from an approval made by the student contacting the professor requesting to be a UCA.
Registration is done by our department after the professors approve the list of applicants. If you are chosen as an Undergraduate Course Assistant, when your registration has been entered, you will see ECE 491 on your list of courses in BU Brain.
How do I identify my faculty advisor?
MS students should take steps to identify an advisor to guide their thesis project as soon as possible. Similarly, PhD students should also take steps to identify an advisor to guide their research projects as soon as possible. Until you have found an advisor, the ECE Graduate Director will act as your interim advisor.
Where is the Graduate Coordinator?
The Coordinator of Graduate Programs can be found in the Engineering Building on the main campus (M Pod).
Do undergraduate course grades affect a graduate student's GPA?
Undergraduate courses taken as a graduate-level student will not be calculated into the graduate GPA. It will appear on the student's transcript with whatever grade is received but it will not be used to calculate the student's graduate GPA. The only "bad thing" that could happen is that if the student receives a failing grade, that will remain on the student's transcript.
I am an international student. Where can I find information about Full-time Certification?
Please click here for information regarding full-time status.
When a student is course complete as a master's student and therefore only needs to register for 1 credit (of thesis or project), he/she needs to complete a Full-time Certification form for students not receiving funding.
The full-time certification forms can be downloaded from our forms web page. Choose either the MS or the PhD form. Have your advisor sign your form after you fill it out. Take it to the ECE secretary. You must be registered for qualifying classes before you can be certified.
As an international student you are required to be full time. As a PHD student, 9 credits is considered full time. If you have completed all coursework, you may register for one credit per the policy above, and be certified full time for the balance.
Note: If you are beginning your first year of PHD study it is unlikely you have met all course requirements and can be certified full-time per the policies found at the first link. If you aren't registered for a qualifying course as noted in the procedures you cannot be certified full time
What about the job opportunities for electrical and computer engineers after graduation?
Job opportunities depend heavily on many external factors (e.g., the economy, the particular area of specialization, the student's job search skills, etc.) so it is hard to give precise information on this. Graduates from our master's and PhD programs have been successful getting job offers from both large and small employers throughout the U.S. The ECE Department keeps a running list of job opportunities on under the "Resources" tab on the web site. For additional information, consider conducting an Internet search or contacting Watson Career and Alumni Connections .
I am a Binghamton University student, do I need to submit GRE and TOEFL scores?
GRE and TOEFL scores are waived for current and former Binghamton University students. After you apply and pay your application fee, contact the department so a notation can be added to your application decision screen showing scores are to be waived.
What are the add/drop deadlines?
Please check the academic calendar at www.binghamton.edu/about/university-calendar.html
Click "University Calendar" on the on the left of the above web page to view your choice of calendars.
When do I use the yellow "Independent Study Registration" form?
Use this form to register for independent study courses, including:
- Undergraduate Research (499)
- Internship (594)
- Project (595, 598)
- Thesis (599)
- Pre-dissertation and dissertation (698, 699)
- Other independent study (497, 597, 697)
- Continuous registration (700)
- Assistantship credit (701), for TA, GA, and RPA only
Independent Study can be registered any time, beginning with the pre-registration period, and running through the sixth week of classes. Note that the registration deadlines (e.g. the "Add / Drop" deadline for course registration) do not apply to independent study, which can be freely added, dropped or changed, up until (approximately) the sixth week of classes.
To register for Independent Study, you must submit a completed Independent Study Registration Form (a "yellow form"), signed by you faculty adviser. This form is submitted to your department office, where it will be processed.
How do i recover my forgotten Binghamton University password?
Go to password.binghamton.edu and click manage account profile. Enter your user name and click forgot Binghamton University password to reach security questions that must be answered in order to receive your password.
What is the total number of credits that can be used toward the matriculated status?
If a non-matriculated student seeks admission to a degree or certificate program with the intention of applying some of the student's non-matriculated course credits to the degree or certificate, then it is the student's responsibility to apply to the degree or certificate program in a timely way. At most, 12 non-matriculated credits will be applied to the degree program and 8 credits to the certificate program.
I am applying for a certificate. Do I need to be in matriculated status?
"Stand-alone" certificates are available to applicants who already hold the appropriate bachelor's or master's degree, as well to currently enrolled, matriculated graduate students at Binghamton University (see desired program for details).
I am considering transferring to Binghamton to finish out my degree but would like some more information. Since I have never taken any graduate placement exams, I was hoping to enroll non-degreed and then matriculate into a program later. If this is possible, how would I go about it?
Yes it is possible to take courses as a non-matric but you should plan to matriculate as soon as possible. You must apply for non-matric at the graduate application site.
Can I transfer my credits from another university if I am starting at Binghamton University as a non-matriculated student but planning to matriculate?
You can transfer up to two courses from elsewhere. You would do the paperwork after you matriculated.
