"The Final Frontier?" - speech by Ibrahim Thiaw, UNEP Deputy Executive Director 27/06/2016 00:00:00
United Nations, New York, 15 September 1971 - Secretary-General of UN Conference on Human Environment which established UNEP, Maurice Strong (R), shows UN Secretary-General U Thant (C) a design for the official Conference poster as Ambassador Keith Johnson of Jamaica (L), Chairman of the Preparatory Committee, looks on
"Today the world mourns one of its greats. Maurice Strong was a visionary and a pioneer of global sustainable development.
"Strong will forever be remembered for placing the environment on the international agenda and at the heart of development. He shepherd global environmental governance processes - from the original Rio Earth Summit, Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration to the launch of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity.
"As the Paris Climate Conference commences, we hope his words echo strong. I reiterate his message to the 2014 UN General Assembly calling on world leaders to 'rise to their historic responsibility as custodians of the planet, to take decisions that will unite rich and poor, North, South, East and West, in a new global partnership to ensure our common future'.
"The sustainability road-map which started in Stockholm, continued in Rio, Johannesburg and Rio+20, must now become a reality in Paris. This would indeed be the most fitting tribute to the legacy of Maurice Strong; leader, mentor and friend.
"Mr. Strong served the United Nations as well as the international community in many capacities - among them as Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Human Environment in Stockholm (1972) and the Rio Sustainable Development Summit (1992). Today we join his family, friends and countless communities across the world in celebrating his life and legacy - with respect, admiration and gratitude".

Former Dixon City Comptroller Pleads Guilty to Theft of $53-Million
11/14/2012 @ 10:25 AMROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) - A former comptroller accused of stealing $53 million from her small northern Illinois city to fund a lavish lifestyle has pleaded guilty. Rita Crundwell entered the plea Wednesday in Rockford federal court. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14.
The 58-year-old former comptroller of Dixon was accused of using her modestly paid municipal job to steal tax dollars, support an extravagant lifestyle and win national fame as a horse breeder. Crundwell had been city comptroller since the 1980s, and prosecutors say she stole more than $53 million since 1990.
Dixon is about 100 miles west of Chicago.
Mayor James Burke said Tuesday that a guilty plea would clear the way for U.S. Marshals to start selling off millions of dollars of assets still in Crundwell's name.

Gold medalist Sullivan 'came close to quitting'
'It was a quick drop to the bottom'IAN ANDERSON
Relevant offers
Other Sports
Olympic gold medalist Joseph Sullivan admitted he spent two weeks contemplating retiring from rowing.
The 26-year-old, who won gold at last year's London Olympics when he and double sculls crewmate Nathan Cohen produced a stunning late burst, was aggrieved at his non-selection by Rowing New Zealand for the national team that contested the World Cup regatta in Sydney last month.
Sullivan felt he'd been personally slighted and said support from the rowing community was a big factor in convincing him to continue his career and seek a second triumph at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
''I took a good two weeks to decide whether I was going to come back or not - it was a big kind of kick-down to get,'' Sullivan told the Waikato Times .
''I had a few phone calls from some older rowers. People like Don Rowlands told me not to give up. Things like that kept me wanting to go for it again, I guess.''
Sullivan was a shock omission from the World Cup squad for Sydney. He took time out from training after the London win, along with a number of Olympic medalists, but felt he had done what was required in time to be selected by the Rowing NZ panel.
''I'd done everything that they'd asked of me,'' Sullivan said.
''And what I'd been told was that we were going to get a bit more leniency, but that got taken away pretty quickly. I was left high and dry - where I thought I was, that it was okay, was obviously not for them.''
Fellow Olympic gold-medal winners Hamish Bond and Eric Murray (men's pair), along with women's single sculler Emma Twigg, were named in the first Rowing NZ squad of the year but didn't go to Sydney.
''It just kinda felt like it was one thing for some people and different for others. I struggled with that. It was a massive struggle, being kept out after being told one thing and then having another thing held against you. It was kind of a 'where do I stand?' situation.
''I thought I had my place but it's always up for grabs, so it was a quick drop to the bottom. You've got to pick yourselves up and get back into it again.''
Sullivan said he eventually decided to get back in the boat.
''I'm still young, still fit, and keen to give Rio a really good nudge. It'd be cool to back it up and keep going.''
Sullivan said he's now back to the fitness levels of past seasons. which saw him and Cohen win two world championship titles in 2010 and 2011 before their dramatic sprint to gold at Eton Dorney.
He's training with the elite squad at Lake Karapiro daily, with a weekly programme consisting of 20-23kms on the water in the mornings, 16kms in the afternoon and weights sessions every Monday and Thursday for about an hour.
''Things are going heaps better - I've lost all the extra weight that I had.
''My motivation's gone up a lot more - I'm pretty eager to get back into the squad properly and prove a point I guess.''
Cohen was part of the New Zealand men's quad that won silver in Sydney in the opening World Cup regatta of the season and Sullivan is keen to join him in that boat for the two upcoming World Cup events in England and Switzerland and the world championships in South Korea in late August.
''I want to get back in a crew boat and go from there. I definitely feel I'm stronger in a crew boat rather than as a single.''
Sullivan may be considered as the men's single sculls representative for NZ at the next two World Cup regattas with another London gold medalist, Mahe Drysdale, not back in action until prior to the world champs.
But Sullivan would prefer being a crew member and said he's currently enjoying filling in for the injured Nathan Flannery in the quad at training.
''I want to be contributing and getting the boat moving fast, either the double or the quad.
He said his relationship with Cohen, who decided late last year to be part of the quad, was still strong.
''There were no hard feelings - we'd both decided on that.
''We both felt we wanted a change. I'd also said at the same time I wanted to go into the quad. I was a bit gutted and disheartened when I missed out.
''I'd love to give the quad a good go - it would be awesome to have a bigger boat winning finals.
''I know Rowing New Zealand is very focused on the small boat categories, but I definitely think we've got the potential to get a big boat moving fast and get some medals out of it - it'd be cool to be a part of that.''

Decrease of ischemic injury to the isolated perfused rat liver by loop diuretics
Recent studies suggest a major role played by sodium in the pathogenesis of ischemic liver injury: in these studies, sodium-free media have been shown to offer protection against hypoxic injury to isolated hepatocytes. As sodium-free perfusions of the isolated rat liver proved impossible because of extensive vasoconstriction, we assessed the effects of two inhibitors of the Na+-K+-2Cl-cotransporter, the loop diuretics furosemide and bumetanide, on ischemic liver injury. In untreated control livers lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) efflux immediately after reperfusion after 60 minutes of ischemia at 37 degrees C was 1666 ± 473 U/L. When livers were pretreated with furosemide or bumetanide before the ischemic period, LDH efflux was only 773 ± 292 U/L and 702 ± 183 U/L respectively (P < .01). LDH activity in the effluent of the pretreated livers remained significantly below the values of ischemic control livers for the whole reperfusion period of 90 minutes. Bile flow in the postischemic phase was improved by pretreatment with furosemide or bumetanide. The increase in intracellular sodium, as measured by 23Na-NMR, was attenuated from 193% ± 71% during 60 minutes of ischemia in controls to 148% ± 80% after bumetanide application (P < .05). Also, after 120 minutes of warm ischemia, LDH and aspartate aminotransferase release were significantly decreased and bile flow increased by pretreatment with bumetanide. Thus, both furosemide and bumetanide showed a clear benificial effect on rat livers subjected to warm ischemia. These data suggest that one means by which sodium ions are accumulated during liver ischemia might be the Na+-K+-2Cl-cotransporter, which is blocked by furosemide and bumetanide.

I was passed onto John from DialAFlight by a friend and he managed to find us a really good deal on some flights to Brisbane. When EVA the airline changed their schedules (which would have meant we lost nearly a week of our holiday) he moved heaven and earth to find us an alternative. He kept ringing back with different options, and I really felt he was trying his best to get the best possible alternative for us, and we ended up with something better than we started with.

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

Re: K-5II settings?
In reply to TomWret • Feb 2, 2013
It's suppose to arrive today. What are a few settings that you made from the factory settings that you would consider standard, if any? One reviewer stated to set exp to (-3) and you should be spot on.
If you're shooting JPEG or RAW+JPEG, I recommend Natural instead of Bright. Bright has an increased risk of blowing out oranges and reds, and can make anything in human-made colors look wrong in artificial lighting.
That's the only one I'd really consider "standard". Beyond that, it's more about your personal use and style.
- I like ISO steps to be in third-stop settings rather than full stops, because this makes TAv mode more useful.
- I put the exposure lock timer up to 30 seconds.
- I like AE-L linked to AF lock
- I clear most of the things from the "Memory" setting, so that they're reset when I turn the camera off.
- I also change some of the dials and buttons from the default. You probably don't care exactly what I do here, but you may get into your own preferences that will become your standard.

SOCAR eyes to sell stake in Turkey's Star media group
09 August 2014 [12:30] -
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) is in talks with Turkish businessman Fettah Tamince to sell its 50 percent stake in Turkey's Star media group, Reuters reported Aug.9 citing SOCAR Turkey.
"We started talks with Fettah Tamince to sell our 50 percent stake in Star media group. If talks succeed, we will exit the media sector to focus on the biggest projects of our country," Kenan Yavuz, chief executive officer at SOCAR Turkey said.
Star media group, which SOCAR jointly owned with businessman Ethem Sancak, consists of Star newspaper and a couple of television channels. Tamince and Sancak are both known as close to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling Justice and Development Party.
Turkey is an important partner of Azerbaijan in the sphere of energy. The two countries are bound by the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and South Caucasus gas pipeline. It is also planned to construct the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline for delivering the Azerbaijani gas to European market. The Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline will ensure the supply of gas to the border with Europe.
SOCAR is represented by a separate subdivision in Turkey and is a co-owner of the large Turkish petrochemical complex, Petkim. A new refinery will be constructed in order to provide the complex with raw materials. It is planned to construct a new power plant and to develop the container port near the complex.
After commissioning the Star refinery, SOCAR will become the largest company in Turkey's energy sphere.
SOCAR, the only producer of oil products in the country includes Azneft Production Association, which runs onshore and offshore oil producing companies, Azerkimya Production Association, and Azerigas Production Association.
Furthermore, the State Oil Company has a number of processing enterprises, service enterprises, institutions involved in geophysical and drilling operations.
The company owns gas stations in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Romania and Switzerland.

The story of Jimmy Rabbitte, a young working class music fan, who shapes an unlikely bunch of amateur musicians and friends into an amazing live act, the finest soul band Dublin has ever produced. The show follows the journey of two members of a frustrated synthesizer band - the opening scene we find them playing but being ignored in a shop window - who turn to Jimmy, the local music expert, for help. Placing a classified advert in a music paper, Jimmy auditions a number of wannabes before finalising the new line up who he names The Commitments. The humour kicks in as the band get to know each other and their instruments, and proceed through early rehearsals for their first gig. Just as they improve and begin to get a name for themselves they combust. The backing singers are all getting off with the middle aged horn legend, the singer has entered Eurovision and the saxophone player has dangerous leaning towards a jazz career.
There are 74 onstage deaths in the works of William Shakespeare - 75 if you count the black ill-favoured fly killed in Titus Andronicus. They range from the Roman suicides in Julius Caesar to the death fall of Prince Arthur in King John; from the carnage at the end of Hamlet to snakes in a basket in Antony & Cleopatra; from Pyramus and Thisbe to young Macduff. There are countless stabbings, plenty of severed heads, some poisonings, two mobbings and a smothering. Enorbarbus just sits in a ditch and dies from grief. And then there's the pie that Titus serves the Queen of the Goths. Spymonkey will perform them all - sometimes lingeringly, sometimes messily, sometimes movingly, sometimes musically, always hysterically. The four ?seriously, outrageously, cleverly funny clowns' (Time Magazine) will scale the peaks of sublime poetry, and plumb the depths of darkest depravity. It may even be the death of them.

I know all the countries of the world and the capital cities. And every prime number up to 7507.
When a theatre is 'dark' it means that it is closed. This may be temporary, e.g. between shows, or it may be semi-permanent, e.g. when it is closed for refurbishment (sometimes it is uncertain when this happens whether it will actually open again) and sometimes it means that the theatre is completely out to action, lost or gone!
