Our theme in early 2010 was 'guarded optimism'. But the economic outlook has darkened since then and there are several major pressure points that could create serious trouble.
The summary in early 2010 was as follows.
* No-one with any sense of history could be surprised by the near-misses experienced in 2007 and 2008.
* Now we see a tepid recovery in most western nations and a strong rebound in the developing nations. No-one should be too surprised if a fresh shock reverses these improving trends.
* The view expressed here is one of guarded optimism. While all governments fail to prevent booms turning to busts, and most analysts fail to provide unambiguous warnings, governments and central banks acted quickly and decisively in 2008 in ways that John Maynard Keynes economic policys great innovator would have been quick to recommend.
* If there is a fresh shock, governments and central banks will again apply the Keynesian remedies. Whether repeated doses of the Keynesian medicine would be as effective as they currently appear to be, is one of the great questions. At present the US budget deficit has trillions of dollars of red ink (that is, budget deficits) as far as the eye can see. With similar deficits throughout the western world, there are serious impediments to further stimulus.
* Already in the US, Main Street is angry that Wall Street was bailed out with taxpayers money and the issuance of government debt; future taxpayers money.
* A taxpayers revolt could limit governments freedom to act, or demand faster red ink reduction. Taxpayer concern at the massive debts could lead to frugal behaviour by households and businesses, keeping private economic activity subdued for years. Japans two decades of permanent recession following its great stock market crash that began at the very end of 1989 is a warning example.
* Another shock ... would strengthen all these understandably adverse reactions.
(The full essay is available here.)
Even as a 'guarded optimist', Henry in early 2010 was concerned at the possibility of further shocks. Now the odds of further shocks have risen.
1. Potential shock number 1. Now there is a slow moving train crash that is very likely to destroy the Eurozone and create the 'another shock' that Henry was worrying most about in early 2010. Here is a recent account by historian Niall Ferguson and Henry's comments on this.
2. Potential shock number 2. The American 'Supercommittee' charged to resolve America's unsustainable budget deficits is reported to be still divided on political lines. Republicans want to slash spending, especially Democrat programs of social welfare and healthcare. Democrats insist that taxes must be raised, but are willing to do most of the work by closing loopholes that allow the richest Americans to pay less than the middle classes, whose budgets are under great strain. Sensible economists argue that both spending cuts and tax hikes (especially on the wealthy) are needed, Failure of the committee to agree on a sensible program would create another shock.
3. Potential shock number 3. Can China continue to grow at double digit rates with recession or very slow growth in Europe and the USA on top of its own anti-inflation policies? 'Not bloody likely comrade' is the answer, and a slowdown in China's growth would be a third economic shock. The onset of even one of these shocks might raise the probabilities of the others.
So Henry's 'guarded optimism' of early 2010 is replaced by a darker picture. Even in the absence of one or more of these three shocks, the best case is slow growth or worse in the USA and Europe and pressure on China to replace export growth by domestic growth.
In this darker world, what are Henry's fearless predictions for 2012 and beyond?
Going in 2011 - each 90 % likely or more.
1. The Eurozone. The weaker nations of the Eurozone can only afford to finance some proportion of their swollen official debts and substantial writedowns (defaults) are necessary. The weaker nations need to quit the Eurozone and adopt their old currencies. Debt default and currency depreciation will provide blows to the Eurozone banks, whose liabilities will remain in Euros and whose assets will be in depreciating drachmas and lira. So the banks will need to be bailed out and exactly how this will be achieved is uncertain given the size of official debt and lack of effective political coordination within the Eurozone. Deep and prolonged recession will follow, probably followed by serious inflation, as printing money will be the only way to try to stimulate the economies of the former Eurozone.
2. Qantas. Qantas has been 'slowbaked' under the Labor government's Fair Work industrial legislation and its international operations cannot survive in the fiercely competitive, low margin global airline marketplace. Best case is that Qantas international gets merged with an Asian airline and adopts 'global best practice' workpractices and remuneration standards. Travellers need to ask if 'global best practice' applies to maintenance standards.
3. Australia's small mining and resource exploration companies; some will fail, others will lose vitality. The mining tax will tip the scales against the minnows of Australia's magnificent mining industry, and the carbon tax will be another impost that an energy exporting nation can ill afford.
4. The Australian dollar will remain volatile but at some stage will correct dramatically to 70 cents per US dollar, perhaps lower.
5. The Gillard government will recover some further lost ground but nowhere near enough to provide more than a slight chance of securing another term of office. The Coalition will inherit a major fix-up task.
6. Unemployment will be going up, which in economic terms is the hard reality of Qantas going down, small mining and exploration companies giving up and other industries declining.
Weakening in 2012 - 100 % likely
7. Australia's manufacturing, tourism and educational industries will continue to weaken. Some relief will be provided when the Australian dollar corrects dramatically, as it will eventually do, and when interest rates are reduced further, as looks likely.
8. Equity markets will at best be soggy and a major global correction is more than an even money bet.
9. The Labor government's Fair Work legislation will be unable to maintain industrial peace and 'deserving' groups such as very senior public servants, carers, nurses, police, teachers will all get larger wage hikes than Australia can afford. Frank Crean's law that one man's wage rise is another man's job will be proven again and applied also to women - a triumph for equal opportunuty.
10. Australia's pride in being part of a 'miracle economy' will be severely eroded, setting the scene for a swing to conservative governments already evident in the Eurozone, the USA and the Australian states.
A recent article by Treasury Deputy-Secretary Dr David Gruen compares the current resource boom with that of the early-mid 1970s. Dr Gruen demonstrates that nowdays Australia has better policies - a flexible currency, an inflation-fighting central bank, subdued growth of government - and more sensible wage determination processes. But average growth has been lower in the decade since 2002, compared with the eleven years from 1970. See graph below and Read on here.
Chart 4 Growth in non-farm GDP
Source: ABS Cat. No. 5206.0 and Treasury.
What this means is still to be determined, but will become a vital issue, especially if the end of the Eurozone creates a renewed recession in the developed nations and slower growth of the hitherto strongly growing developing nations.
Indeed, now the realistic worst case for the global economy seems to offer the choice between deep recession or serious depression.

Cutie Pies (Part Two)
Because they were frozen, the filling expanded and cracked the crust, so the filling spilled out, and messed up the 'heart holes,' but they tasted good. We put scoops of ice cream on top, and if your favorite part is the crust....this is the dessert for you.

Time sharing systems in the department
Most users will have a personal workstation running a suitable operating system for their work. However, users may have particular requirements to do things which require specific facilities not available on their workstation, or may want to use departmental facilities remotely. The department operates a number of time-sharing systems to fulfil such needs.
Note that they are intended for light use by many people, so are not suitable for resource intensive jobs. If you have such a need, email sys-admin.
Multi-user Windows access is provided via a Windows Server running in Terminal Services mode. It runs an RDP v6.1 server allowing remote connections. Linux users typically access this facility using the cl-rdesktop command to connect to the server desktop.cl.cam.ac.uk (not available to Fedora Core systems before FC6), windows users can use the Remote Desktop Connector application to access the server.
The service is provided primarily for access to Microsoft Office applications for occasional use. Additional applications are only added to the server if there is widespread support for them. Unlike on a Windows workstation users do not get Administrative rights and so cannot install applications.
Inactive sessions are disconnected automatically to reduce the load on the server, after 2 days of non-use the session is automatically logged out.
There are a number of Linux servers available for remote login via secure shell. Windows users typically access them using the PuTTY command, and Linux users use slogin or ssh.
To find out more about the host or hosts providing a particular service, use a command such as host to look up their address or pointer records, e.g.
$ host -t ptr ssh-remote ssh-remote.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer ssh-remote-1.cl.cam.ac.uk. ssh-remote.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer ssh-remote-2.cl.cam.ac.uk. $ host -t ptr ssh-remote-2 ssh-remote-2.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer sandy.cl.cam.ac.uk. $ host -t ptr distro-ubuntu distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u10-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-U8-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u16-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-U9-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u12-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u14-04i.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u14-04ih.cl.cam.ac.uk. distro-ubuntu.cl.cam.ac.uk domain name pointer distro-u14-04.cl.cam.ac.uk. $
This shows that the ssh-remote service runs on ssh-remote-0 and ramsey, and that ubuntu services are run on the machines distro-U9-04, distro-U8-04 and distro-U10-04. There are a number of machines, which helps resilience, but any particular machine may be unavailable at a particular time, so if a machine doesn't work, try another one. Try listing the servers and try them each manually in turn until one works (and email sys-admin reporting the problem giving the time and if possible a cut-and-paste of the command and error text). Non current distributions (e.g. machines starting distro-) may need to be booted, e.g. using "cl-boot-mc distro-U10-10" on a TSS machine.
Kerberos autjhentication requires you to request a connection to the canonical name of the machine, rather than to an alias for the service it is providing. In thge above example, if wanting to connect to the ssh-remote service, try e.g. sandy.cl.cam.ac.uk.
For the current list of available servers and aliases, look at the pointer record for slogin-list, distro-list, etc.
Idle sessions take up resources and block routine administration of the system. Please logout when not using the system. Idle sessions may be terminated.
There are a number of services which the machines provide including
- a "std Lab" machine (slogin-serv) permanently running: users whose workstations do not have all the facilities available on standard Lab managed systems may want to perform certain tasks, such as doing an email look up, on a standard machine. slogin-serv should provide such a system, running on multiple machines, e.g. one physical and one virtual.
- login from the internet (ssh-remote or ssh-remote-[01]) permanently running:
users wanting to connect from outside the department are normally
able to ssh directly to their workstations (unless there is a security alert).
However, their workstation may be switched off,
they may not have a suitable kerberos ticket,
or may not have a user ssh key,
making a server appropriate.
To access files on the Netapp filer, a kerberos ticket is needed, e.g. using "cl-krenew --maxout -f".
If a ticket is available on one machine but not the other, consider setting up a ticket on both, or using the machine specfic name, i.e. ssh-remote-0 or ssh-remote-1.
- svn server (svn*-serv) permanently running:
svn upgrades the meta data whenever a later version is used on a local copy.
If this happens by mistake, the local copy can be downgraded using a
python script.
By always using a specific version, it avoids such problems. To get a full list, use "host -t ptr svn-serv-list".
- filer access using the TGT server (cron-serv0 and cron-serv1) permanently running:
cron and at jobs which need to access the filer may not work on user
Workstations if the kerberos ticket needed to access the filer has
By setting up the TGT server
to ensure a valid kerberos ticket, filer access should be available.
It is recommended that more than one server is used, and that filing locking is used if simultaneous access might cause problems.
Users shouild ONLY login to these machine to setup cron or at jobs. They should not be used for interactive sessions.
The machines have restricted access. If you have problems logging in to setup a job, try connecting to the machine via slogin-serv.
- SSH application relaying (ssh-relay[12]) permanently running: users wanting to relay ssh traffic (connections or port forwarding) can use these machines.
- permanently running systems (various) permanently running: users may turn their workstations off when not in the department, and want to perform a quick task remotely without having to remotely boot it, so can login to the slogin machines.
- specific distribution (distro-*) run only when needed: if a specific distribution is needed, such as a Fedora Core 6 system or a 32 bit CentOS system, there may be a suitable service available. For the current list of available aliases and servers, look at the pointer record for distro-list.cl.cam.ac.uk. If you need a machine, start it using the boot web page or use cl-boot-mc on an slogin machine, and email sys-admin to keep track of current user requirements.

Genevieve Nnaji more popular than Yar'Adua? - Written by Niyi Tabiti
'Nollywood star, Genevieve Nnaji is more popular than Nigeria's president, Mr.Umaru Yar'Dua'. This is the outcome of a shocking research jointly conducted last month by Astaroberts,EMMS New York and Gistmaster.com.
According to findings, more people are likely to search for Genevieve Nnaji's name online than that of Mr.Yar'Dua.
The research also show that more people are likely to engage in topic concerning Genevieve than Mr.Yar'Dua.
Findings also show that the Wikipaedia of Ms.Nnaji has more traffic than that of Mr.Yar'Dua.The same goes for another Nollywood actress, Ini Edo.
Research from hundreds of blogs and websites also show the same figure in favour of the nollywood stars.
Genevieve gathered more figures than the President of the country.This is another testimony that Nigeria film industry players are more popular than the political class.

Its to be expected. Genevieve is an entertainer. Yar Adua is a politician.Beyonce is probably more popular than George Bush and OPRAH is WAAY more popular than any American politician (except Obama). Its the nature of their jobs.

Middleton on the Wolds based Discover Energy have been awarded £1m worth of contracts in their first seven months of trading.
The firm has already delivered £700,000 of contracts and has more than £400,000 of signed orders to deliver in the coming months.
Discover Energy, which started trading in November 2013, claimed that it had received an unprecedented reception from the farming and commercial sectors since breaking into the renewable energy industry late last year.
The company provides solutions for solar photovoltaic systems targeted mainly in the commercial and agricultural sectors.
Martin Bleasby, the Operations Manager for Discover Energy, which has changed its name from Discover Renewables, said: "Simply put, our growth is purely down to the company delivering on all aspects of its promises.
"This is a result of our fresh thinking approach to solar PV, transparency and flexibility is key.
"The solar industry has been established for quite a few years now and awareness and technical understanding is growing within the market place."
"The recent change to our branding reflects on the company's longer term aspirations, as well as supporting our more recently secured local and national partnerships".
Jack Oxtoby, Technical Manager for Discover Energy commented - "Everyone here at Discover Energy is pleased with our remarkable start.
However, we will not become complacent and we are already diligently expanding the company to meet demand.
"Solar PV is experiencing another sharp uptake in interest and the current Feed-in-Tariffs make it a sound financial investment."
Discover Energy is aiming to re-launch its website within the coming weeks. www.discoverrenewables.co.uk

Bruce Springsteen Straight Time Lyrics
Last updated: 08/23/2009 12:00:00 PM
Got out of prison back in '86 and I found a wife
Walked the clean and narrow
Just tryin' to stay out and stay alive
Got a job at the rendering plant, it ain't gonna make me rich
In the darkness before dinner comes
Sometimes I can feel the itch
I got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line
I'm sick of doin' straight time
My uncle's at the evenin' table, makes his living runnin' hot cars
Slips me a hundred dollar bill says
"Charlie you best remember who your friends are."
Got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line
I ain't makin' straight time
Eight years in it feels like you're gonna die
But you get used to anything
Sooner or later it just becomes your life
Kitchen floor in the evening tossin' my little babies high
Mary's smiling but she's watching me out of the corner of her eye
Seems you can't get any more than half free
I step out onto the front porch and suck the cold air deep inside of me
Got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line
I'm sick of doin' straight time
In the basement huntin' gun and a hacksaw
Sip a beer and thirteen inches of barrel drop to the floor
Come home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands
Lay my head down on the pillow
And go driftin' off into foreign lands
Thanks to Pt for submitting Straight Time Lyrics.

Definición de bile en inglés:
sustantivo[mass noun]
- The main function of the gallbladder is to store bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver.
- The gallbladder is a small muscular sac located under the liver that stores bile secreted by the liver.
- The gall bladder receives bile from the liver, stores and concentrates it, and delivers it to the intestine as required.
- Scratch the surface and all you'll find resentment, bitterness and bile!
- There's sheer anger and sheer angst, there's bile and hatred, there is loathing.
- I can feel anger and bile rising in me, rising up out of the years of desperation and hollow fury.
Mid 16th century: from French, from Latin bilis.
yellow from Old English:
As with other colour words such as auburn and brown, the root of yellow probably referred to a wider range of colours than the modern word. It shares an ancestor with gold ( see golden), but is also related to gall (Old English), bile (mid 17th century), and the final element of melancholy, all of which derive from the greenish colour of bile. The yellow egg yolk (Old English), which could be spelt yelk into the 17th century, was also related to yellow. In the 17th century yellow rather than green was the colour of jealousy, possibly with the idea of a jealous person being 'jaundiced' or bitter. The word jaundice (Middle English) is from Old French jaune 'yellow', from the symptomatic yellowish complexion. Yellow is now associated with cowardice, a link that began in the 1850s in the USA. Since the 1920s a coward has been said to be yellow-bellied or a yellow-belly.

Just last week, IObit officially launched its driver updating tool called Driver Booster, which acts as a free stand-alone tool for frequently updating drivers to optimize your PC gaming experiences.
IObit has become a staple here at MakeUseOf. It is covered often, due to the volume of services and tools offered, including things like the Advanced SystemCare PC cleaner, the useful Smart Defrag tool, and the IObit Malware Fighter for fending off nasty malware.
Earlier this year, Driver Booster Beta was released, and serves as one of the few PC tools out there that is capable of collecting an inventory of all currently installed hardware drivers, and then serving as a central "command center" to update those drivers with a single click. This can save PC users – especially gamers – a great deal of effort, because they no longer need to identify which drivers they have installed for specific hardware. They also won't have to hunt down where to download the correct driver from the Internet, because Driver Booster already has that information. With a click of the button, users can bring all hardware drivers up to the latest version.
According to the IObit press release, IObit Driver Booster Beta can improve PC performance, because most system crashes are due to the fact that "hardware devices can not function properly without proper drivers". This is especially true for gamers, when a particular game requires a more recent version of hardware driver than the user might have installed.
Another problem that's remedied by Driver Booster is that since the user doesn't have to search the Internet for drivers, it's less likely their computer will become infected by fake drivers downloaded from unreliable sources. Driver Booster contains only verified drivers for the hardware you have installed on your system.
The press release also states that Driver Booster is especially tuned for gaming performance, by focusing on the drivers that are most important to gaming performance. In the release, IObit's marketing director, Michael Zhao explained the benefits of using IObit's free Driver Booster software:
Updating drivers is never an easy job for many PC users as it's time-consuming and problematic. Driver Booster is introduced against this backdrop and it's the right tool to protect your PC from hardware failures, conflicts, and system crashes.
You can set up Driver Booster to scan and update your outdated drivers automatically, so that you never have to worry about updating your drivers again. It can keep your PC running optimally, without the hardware or system failures usually associated with outdated drivers.
You can download Driver Booster free directly from IObit.

John West provides full traceability of fish to public
Sustainable food news – by GreenWise staff
10th October 2011
UK canned seafood manufacturer John West has launched a new online application that for the first time will enable anyone to check whether its fish has been sourced sustainably or not.
In what is being claimed as a UK first, the '
Fish Finder
' application provides full
supply chain
traceability of
John West
tuna products by simply inputting a code printed on the top of its cans. The company said the Fish Finder would enable consumers to track "the exact source of the fish in their can", including the waters in which it swam and the boat that made the catch. The move is part of a five-year plan, launched by John West earlier this year, to source depleted tuna stocks more sustainably.
"John West is dedicated to tracing the supply chain of every fish sold so we can ensure that we continue to sell fish which is not under threat and is sourced from areas of world where the quantity of fish is high," Paul Reenan, managing director, John West, said. "We know the origins of every product in our range and we are committed to sharing this detail with all our customers, starting with tuna and rolling out across our other seafood ranges over the next 18 months."
Sustainability targets
In July, John West unveiled its five-year tuna sustainability plan, which committed it to sourcing 50 per cent of its UK tuna sales from pole and line by 2014. It also set out plans to stop its practice of buying catches where fish aggregating devices (FADs), which have been blamed for reducing tuna and other fish stocks, are used by the 'purse seine' tuna industry. The tuna targets are part of a wider sustainability and marine biodiversity programme being undertaken by John West in consultation with Greenpeace and industry experts.
Fish Finder
John West has adapted it Fish Finder application from its own in-house supply chain traceability software. A spokesperson said it had been possible to do because John West owns all the fish fleets which make its catches.
The Fish Finder application is accessible from today on the John West website. Anyone can access it by inputting the country origin, barcode and can code, found on the bottom of every can, into the form on the homepage.

Three in a row for Team Muirhead (From Congleton Guardian)
Three in a row for Team Muirhead
8:20am Saturday 15th February 2014 in © Press Association 2014
Great Britain's women's curling team made it three round-robin wins in a row at the Sochi Winter Olympics with a 10-8 victory over South Korea.
Losing 2-0 after the first end in the morning session at the Ice Cube Curling Center, skip Eve Muirhead's side immediately bounced back with a three then stretched 5-2 ahead.
However, South Korea could not be shrugged off easily, stealing two points in the ninth to lead by one going into the final end.
Muirhead saved the day, though, with three shots on hammer to leave GB with four wins and two defeats ahead of their meeting with Switzerland on Saturday night.
Vicki Adams insists the GB side were playing well enough not to be overly concerned going into the last end a point behind, after the South Koreans had stolen two shots.
"It obviously goes with how well you are playing and what shots you call, but I think we had it pretty well under control there," she told Press Association Sport.
"We played well and the Korean girls played really well too. They keep plugging away and they don't give in.
"In the ninth we had a little bit of a slip-up, we got a chance for a two and went for it but we lost the steal of two.
"But we knew we had the last stone coming home and we knew that if we kept playing well then we would be okay.
"We got it set up pretty well and we knew if we kept plugging away we would get there in the end."

It was mentioned in one of the original posts that the poster had no
idea of why the Phelan bldg became the jewelery and precious stone
focus for the city. The bldg was triangular in shape, due to the lot
shape, and there was a triangular light well in the center. This
enabled windows to have natural light coming into every room. Each
floor layout had a central hall with offices on either side. Each
hall door opened onto a vista of light. For fine detail work, whether
stone setting or any other jewelery related operation, the bldg was
Nirvana. Probably the bldg was acquired by some division of Bain
Hedge Fund. Lee (the saw guy)

This one looks like h-e-l-l.
They used a term on Monday's Hoarders episode: clutter blindness. Where the hoarder doesn't see or notice the clutter.
This photo's caption reads, "See all the office stuff this room will hold." So they've turned the negative clutter into a positive teaching moment??? It should say, "See? There's room for more stuff to hoard."
One way to decrease clutter is to eliminate horizontal surfaces. Except this Mesa, Arizona seller found a way around it: use the floor!
Much, much better than the others. If we were allowed to be really picky, the diplomas should be packed away and the bookcase removed.

At least the seller is upfront with buyers about his house. Too bad he couldn't fix the problems beforehand.
Photo caption reads, "Patio needs work." Got wood rot?
Photo caption reads, "Living room floor needs attention."
Photo caption reads, "Ceiling needs attention." And some bleach for the mold & mildew. The roof probably needs attention too.
Photo caption reads, "Fence needs work."

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.3 in 3 reviews
This is a great game because the person seeing the word has less of an idea of the answer than those who just hear the words being said.
The old game (Babble On) was better, but both are built on the same basic idea.
This is a very fun word game for parties to play with your friends. Its okay to play with at least 2 players though. However, after realizing how much I love this game, I wanted to play by myself while sitting at work on the computer.
You can play Mad Gab online at http://www.playmadgabonline.com
This is such a fun game! My husband & I played this with another couple and it was so much fun. We all cracked up the whole game. Great party game! it will keep you entertained and wanting to try "one more!"!

Lisa's Review
Very happy with everything.
Oneida Builders were on time, on budget, and Melina was a very good help in figuring out what we needed to do, in terms of selections. She helped us pick the tiles, wood colors, fixtures, and layout.
We have had them do a kitchen renovation, two bathrooms, and a hardwood floor installation and refinishing. They also redid the front of our house, built new doors, and replaced all our windows. We're very happy with everything they have done.

In this page will be listed the actions done to promote the cause, as well as some day to day events or some general reflections … While waiting to have a real blog, please send us your feedback below !
Today I sent some more emails to development organizations and some universities … I have no means of assessing if they received them or not … I will try to call them in a few days … then I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Aubervilliers near Paris. It is a town where there are many people from Africa and North Africa … I explained our cause to some curious pedestrians … Some persons passed by several times when I was there …
Tomorrow, our cause continues ...
May 11th, 2010
Updated weekdays on 23:00 CET
Send us your feedback
Today I contacted some more development organizations and then I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Bobigny near Paris. It is a shopping centre and it is usually more busy on Wednesdays because Wednesday, children do not go to school and mummies takes them shopping …
Today I was thinking about the importance of the cultural heritage of the African people and how it is crucial for them to modernize it and share it with the world ! They received this cultural legacy as gift from their ancestors who worked and imagined all those beautiful things over centuries and centuries giving to places and traditions meaning and identity ! Now, it is the duty, the privilege, the right and the responsibility of their descendents to enhance and modernize their beautiful cultures and cities in the unique spirit of their cultural legacy ! This right is theirs and theirs alone, they should not let anybody else do it because, otherwise, they wouldn't own their own cultures anymore !
As we said last week, you will find some of the discussions which were in different locations in a new page !
May 12th, 2010
Today I contacted some more organizations, mainly French speaking African media and then I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Porte de Clichy in Paris. It is a neighbourhood where there is an important immigrant community …
Any help in making our initiative known to the African people concerned is most welcome ! You can send emails to people, media or organizations you know from those regions with our coordinates (web, Facebook ...) … We count on your help ! Thanks !
May 13th, 2010
Today I contacted some more media in Africa, many had no email address at all and in many cases the email was returned … As far as I know, I'd say it is likely due to old email addresses or some technical problems ... then I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Gare Montparnasse in Paris. It was raining, and I couldn't distribute the flyers in a covered space (private property) … I tried to distribute at the open but the rain drops fells on the flyers and the pedestrians were in a hurry and didn't take any … I waited a little for the rain to stop but it didn't so I stopped the distribution … Anyway, tomorrow, I will go to "Porte de Clignancourt" as usual, I hope the weather will be better …
We have a new partner/supporter which is a Tunisian association of English teachers based in Mahdia ! I was very happy when they posted their coordinates on our Facebook group, Thanks Ramzi ! I hope together, with all our partners we'll be able to help our officials make the reforms !
May 14th, 2010
Today I went as usual to distribute flyers (here in French) at Porte de Clignancourt in Paris between 14:00 and 18:00. There were lots of people and I distributed lots of flyers …
I think it's interesting I shared with you this reasoning about economical growth I came across … It proves how multilateral economical exchanges are a better situation than unilateral ones … If the unilateral situation is a country with unilateral exchanges of a certain volume and a certain capacity with another country "F", the multilateral situation would consist of the initial volume of exchanges with "F" to which you add several other volumes of exchanges with several other countries, the overall economical growth is not just the sums of all exchanges because the new volumes of exchanges would create more wealth and development inside the country, they would create indirect jobs and increase the volume of the local market, which would remarkably increase the buying capacity of the country in question making the situation better for everybody, including for "F". I would like to say my esteem to the person who made this reasoning which help us understand the mechanics of open economies versus closed or restricted ones ...
Next week, our cause continues ...
May 15th, 2010
Today I tried to contact some of the organizations to whom I had sent some emails last week. I succeeded in contacting one of them … With one newspaper in Mali, I called the first time and I was told that it was a wrong number, I called again the same number and I found someone who told me it was a radio from another part of the country and not a newspaper … although, the number came from the newspaper website ...
Afterwards I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Chatelet in Paris between 17:00 and 19:00. One woman in particular discussed the cause with me saying that in the kingdom of Tunisia, according to her, there were many people able to translate from any language to any other language and that the language shouldn't be a problem for business. I answered saying that businessmen need to find people to rely upon to be intermediaries which they must trust, which first of all is hard to find, and secondly, in today's world, it is really a handicap, they would simply go somewhere else, because it would be easier, more transparent and more reliable for them ! The investors can't talk to the workers, administrations nor even know what's going on in the country on their own ! This means as well that they wouldn't create skilled jobs ! Besides the fact that only a minority of Tunisians speak a limited number of foreign languages (German and Italian) which is even more and more restrictive ! Without mentioning the local businesses that are cut out of markets and opportunities from around the world and around Europe, because of the language barrier … It is a major handicap for business and foreign investment in those countries … This is without mentioning the other issues related to development among which access to technology, science, scientific management, media … It is not a coincidence that tens of countries have sovereignly decided to adopt English as 1st foreign language among which the European countries and France, all the other developed countries and many developing countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba or eastern European countries … In addition to the economical reasons which are the most important, there are political reasons like connecting to other countries, fully belonging to the community of nations besides the fact that this whole debate is surreal because it feels like some people want to force or keep those people speaking other languages without any reason !!! while it is their right to decide their future as they see fit ! What is wrong with them changing their 1st foreign language to English ?
May 17th, 2010
Today I tried to contact some more media in Africa and elsewhere when I noticed that many mails was returned to me … I checked the emails returned and they were from my own SMTP server instead of being from the recipient's mail server … and then the impossible occurred, two mails sent to two major news tvs were returned to me in the same time !!! It was two mails, one to email@example.com and the other to email@example.com. It is a major proof that someone is intently jamming our emails (besides the phone calls that were captured before !!!)
If you are reading this, please help us communicate our message to the media or to organizations related to development we need your help because we are being censored and our communications are blocked
Afterwards I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at La Chappelle in Paris between 17:00 and 19:00. Several persons kept passing by several times ...
May 18th, 2010
Today I tried to contact some more media in Africa I received few rejections, but one was still from my mail server which is not normal ! It is up to the destination server to recognize if the address is there or not
Afterwards I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Marcel Sambat near Paris between 16:45 and about 19:00. Several persons kept passing by several times …
I want to communicate a very important message to the African people : The colonization project is still alive today !!! It aims to destroy the local peoples cultures and identities in order to assimilate them to other countries !!! It is still an active project that is still there with policies and pressures over governments to prevent them from modernizing their cultures and reviving them !!! If the African people do insist to modernize their cultures, there may even be plans to disown them of their cultures by disowning them of its modernization !!! If the African people decide to modernize their culture and resist and earn that right they should be the only ones to carry out that modernization in order to create and keep the competencies and capabilities to do so, otherwise their identities and cultures will be lost to them and managed by racist and fascist persons which only objectives are to enslave peoples minds and control their lands and which may destroy these cultures anytime in order to assimilate those lands to their country.
May 19th, 2010
Today I tried to contact a few more media in African countries.
For more accuracy and to avoid misunderstandings, we wish to tell everybody that when we say our mail are blocked, our telephone calls are intercepted and our distribution is disrupted we do not mean totally every single time ! All those who have been following this blog, and if you consult all the posts you will see that censorship and disruption were always there at different degrees of intensity. We do not know the exact extent of censorship of our emails or of our phone calls, we report only the most obvious cases. Although, our censors can use this uncertainty to make all our communications totally inefficient and prevent the African people from hearing about our cause. That is why, if you are reading this, we need your help to communicate our message to the media or to organizations related to development we need your help because we are being censored and our communications are blocked
Later this afternoon, I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Place de Clichy in Paris between 17:00 and about 19:20.
May 20th, 2010
Today I tried to contact a few more media in Africa. I tried as well to check on the email addresses that didn't work the other day, i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com. Both email addresses were still dysfunctional … they seem to have permanent errors although they both belong to serious and important media organizations from the middle east. Therefore, it seems we have jumped to conclusions concerning the email blockade … The only things that happened so far is that several organizations contacted by phone didn't find or never received the email we've sent them without any error message being sent back to us. That is not enough to assume there is an email blockade going on … Apart from the few times where we do receive an answer, we have no way to assess if our emails are reaching their destinations or not ! Thus, we removed that part from our message on the side. If you helped us we wish to thank you and tell you that your help was very useful anyway, in fact we still need it to make sure African people and development organizations receive the message !!! Thank you !
Later this afternoon, I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Gare St Lazare in Paris … I am running out of flyers and next week I'll have to make a new print.
May 21th, 2010
Today, I went to distribute flyers (here in French) at Porte de Clignancourt in Paris … There were many people passing by and I distributed many flyers ... A person told me he gave the flyer to a Tunisian friend of his and that his friend didn't like it because he loved France … I told him to tell his friend that he could love France as much as he wanted but that he has no right to prevent the Tunisian people nor the African people from developing and connecting with other people ...

Today, I contacted more media and websites related to Africa … I didn't make any distribution today because it is a holiday here in France and I ran out of flyers … I will have to go tomorrow to make a new print ...
May 24th, 2010
<Previous Next>
Today, I went to print the new edition of the flyer … It will be ready in a few days … Then, I contacted more media, websites and institutions related to Africa … The state of the email servers is bad sometimes in Africa … For example, at the university of Ouagadougou, in Burkina Faso, the two addresses I tried did not work, even the webmaster's (email@example.com) …
Anyway, I was thinking again today about the historical attempts to erase the Arabic identity of the North African people and how it still continued after the independence … Different factions or groups were used and manipulated by foreign forces (like the Kabyles in Algeria) in order to control those countries and to achieve the political schemes of colonization … Among these schemes are the separation of the people of North Africa from the rest of the Arabic world, the attempts to erase their identity by making them hate or despise their own culture and language ... For these purposes, those foreign forces, try to find vulnerable parts of the population who might be victims of discrimination in their countries in order to use them as Trojan horses to achieve their schemes … This might be still going on today ! And not only in Algeria ...
May 25th, 2010
Today, I went to distribute the flyers (here in French) in the afternoon at Suresnes near Paris … Unfortunately, the rain kept falling and it wasn't possible … Therefore I returned to my apartment and kept sending messages to African media and organizations … I hope some of our audiences have been helping us in doing that too ! We've got another message of support today ...
May 26th, 2010
Today, I went to distribute the new version of the flyers (here in French) in the afternoon at La Defense near Paris … I explained the cause to a few pedestrians curious about it … For instance, one person was curious about the effects speaking English would have on those countries … I explained to him that it would open for them countless possibilities and opportunities for economic development (much more foreign investments, new markets and opportunities, business related resources …) and allow them to make much more international relations … I told him it would even increase significantly the number of NGOs working in those countries. Besides the fact that it would allow them to fully belong to the community of nations and to make their opinions heard and to listen to everybody else's points of views ...
May 27th, 2010
May 28th, 2010 … New support messages (thanks !)
Today, we received two more support messages, one through mail and the other from a petitioner … I would like to thank them very much for their kind words ...
Afterwards, I went to distribute the new version of the flyers (here in French) in the afternoon at Gare Montparnasse near Paris … I had a very long conversation with a fellow from Clamart who was really very supportive … We discussed many different subjects, from politics to history to the situation in the African countries … It was a very nice conversation and we agreed on most topics. One slight difference was that he saw English as the language of the English speaking countries while we see it more as the global and international language … Thanks again for the support ! Do not hesitate to send us messages expressing your opinions (the boxes are totally anonymous: a script from our provider sends an email with the contents of the box to our email address—for the Tunisian fellows who fear persecution …)
May 29th, 2010 … The importance of Diversification
Thank's to all those who sent us messages yesterday and today, we will answer them very soon !
This afternoon, I went to distribute the flyers (here in French) in at Porte de Clignancourt in Paris … I discussed the initiative with two Tunisian fellows with whom we went through the motives of our action and how the local African governments needed the support of the people to be able to carry out the reforms in spite of any pressures
Then, I was thinking about how the English language could bring much more diversification in the international and economic relations of those African countries and how it was vital for them both for development and for independence ! For development, it is clear that diversification brings much more volume and diversity of models and businesses which stimulates the local economies and grows the volume of the local markets ! Besides the additional number of markets, it create new opportunities specific to every new economic partner ! On the political level, diversification allows those countries to exit a monolithic relationship with one single developed country to found multiple relationship with several developed countries (cooperation, diplomatic) which protects those countries from any attempts of assimilation by stronger countries and helps them find their own models and grow to be more positive and constructive members of their region and of the international community while sharing their culture and beauty with others ! The diversity therefore achieved and the cultural treasures preserved, revived and modernized is in everybody's best interest ! Without losing their character nor their identity (which have to be defended until some misguided countries renounce their wicked plans to erase them) … local cultures should nonetheless evolve to include the common universal advances made on morals, values and governance (like the fight against racism, gender equality, respect of human rights, respect of physical and moral integrity, rule of law and democracy for example) … And diversification should help that too as it provides with multiple successful experiences made by other countries in different contexts !
May 31th, 2010 … What constitutes real success for nations ?
This afternoon, I went to distribute the flyers (here in French) at Place de Clichy in Paris between about 16:45 and 19:00 … I discussed the initiative with a nice lady from African origin … When I explained our cause to her she reacted saying that France may not be happy with it ! But I told her that we were militating as well to change mentalities about these issues, after all, France and the French language are not the same thing … besides, the French language is not in danger, it is studied throughout the world by people who love it and want to learn more about France and the French culture … There is no need to impose it on whole countries ! The persons who chose to learn it will be more motivated to use it than those on whom it was imposed … Finally, a language is only a means of communication !
There is no glory in forcing people to speak a language … Real greatness and real success, for nations, come, in my opinion, from the contributions of that nation to the progress of humankind in all fields; science, morality, governance, sport, art, literature … etc. Tyranny, oppression, crushing other people and enslaving them are the opposite of greatness … They are barbarity and smallness of justice, of freedom, of vision, of democracy, of values … etc !
Japan, modern Germany, Scandinavian countries or Canada for example, never invaded nor enslaved anybody, although they are among the most successful countries on the planet. The Japanese culture in particular has known an explosive growth making it the second larger exporter of cultural goods in the world. Furthermore, if you compare Portugal which did "colonize" other territories to countries like Sweden or Austria, which did not, you will find that the latters are more successful on several levels (economical, human development …). As for influence, small countries like Belgium or Switzerland or even developing countries have proved they can have lasting influence like Egypt for the non aligned countries or Brazil with the social forum and as a "leader" in the developing world … And, most importantly, the more countries are successful, the more they gain a natural sphere of influence … After all, America did never colonize anybody, although it is the leading country in the world !

So many map, image, video, and data sources exist along with GIS tools these days that it is tempting to think we can "get by" without doing any fieldwork. Indeed, in these days of educational funding constraints when fieldwork involves high costs, permissions, and effort, these technological resources are extremely welcome and valued as virtual field trip substitutes. But are they truly substitutes?
We on the Esri education team work closely with the education community to promote active fieldwork. Our collaboration with National Geographic on the 2011 Geography Awareness Week promotion is just one example. We have collaborated with the American Geosciences Institute on Earth Science Week and with those promoting "No Child Left Inside" initiatives; we make use of the resources from the Place Based Education Initiative, and we promote the use of probes, GPS, and even smartphones to gather primary data to map and analyze within a GIS environment. Watch my video to examine why fieldwork is important. Even if you cannot get away from campus, you can still collect data right on your own school grounds. Dr Herb Broda's book SchoolYard Enhanced Learning provides excellent ideas on how to do just that.
One activity out of many that incorporates these elements is entitled "Get Outside With GPS", where I use key science, math, and geography content standards in a series of 22 questions to get students racing to see who can log the fastest speed with GPS, who can find virtual geocaches, who can most quickly calculate the Earth's circumference, how long it would take to walk around the Earth from one's current location, and calculating sunrise and sunset times based on the current latitude and time of year.
There is no shortage of things on which to collect data in your local community—pH and conductivity in streams and ponds, tree height and species, litter type and quantity, building age and condition, or something else. Create a spreadsheet in text, CSV, or XLS format and map it with ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Desktop. Hyperlink images, text, and videos that you create at each of these points, save your maps, share them, and analyze patterns. How does water quality compare between local streams and lakes? How does tree height and species vary across a mountainside? What is the distribution of litter or graffiti in your community? Equally important as the "what" and "how" questions are the "why" questions. The spatial perspective and GIS represent a powerful framework and toolkit in which to examine your local community through your own locally-collected data.
How can you incorporate fieldwork, spatial analysis, and GIS so that you are making every day of the year one of "Geography Awareness"?
