Lots of really complex FPGAs Pushing the limits on performance Also lots medium complexity FPGAs FPGA development tend to be time consuming and error prone Must assure the right quality Must constantly improve efficiency 10 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry Bitvis Main quality/efficiency problems Most "self inflicted" quality and efficiency problems have the same few root causes. Applies worldwide Design complexity » with lack of structure Verification » with unstructured TB or lack of simulation Timing and clocking » Timing Closure » Internal CDC » External I/O timing req. + CDC So – what does the FPGA world do about this? 11 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry Bitvis Imbalanced focus on improvement activities Tool vendors focus on the most advanced needs Academia focus on the most advanced needs An advanced focus is required, but….. Insufficient focus on the needs of the majority of the industry Level of methodology and structure applied in the development in various companies Need help – at the right level (Using verification to exemplify…) 12 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry Bitvis Verification – NOT the state of the art Most companies do not simulate sufficiently Most companies have a terrible TB structure Most designers have insufficient knowledge about verification and testbenches Most companies have insufficient awareness on the importance of proper and structured verification 13 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry Bitvis Verification – what do we need? Important to focus on the most advanced needs For those few who really need it today For the FPGA community – for the future Verification maturity in companies developing FPGAs Major improvement potential (Quality + Eff.) BUT: The large majority have totally different needs Awareness knowledge experience structure Structure: Flow, Documentation, Architecture, Coding Self-checking, Coverage, Transcripts, Debugging Step – by – step…… A huge potential for improvements For a large majority… 20-50% 14 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry $$$ Bitvis How can we improve verification – for this large majority Academia in the education More on practical approach and structure More on quality in the development flow Academia – research – for the future Slightly more focus on industry friendly approaches Tool vendors Address the industry at the right level A company with an insufficient verification methodology first needs help improving awareness, knowledge and structure » THEN they may mature and later become a good customer for advanced solutions…. 15 FPGA Development in the Norwegian Industry Bitvis FPGA Development Best Practices Why does this have so little attention There are courses on technology, languages, frameworks, etc… But apparently none on FPGA development in general Could this be the responsibility of a university…. ?

Our law office is known for high quality legal services and partners - direct involvement in and commitment to work for our Clients.
We are pleased to announce that WBW Weremczuk Bobel & Partners was invited to participate in Enabling the Business of Agriculture project, organized by the World Bank Group - the world's largest development bank and an observer at the United Nations Development Group. The main objective of the project is to identify obstacles to the commercialization of agriculture, including laws affecting agricultural activities. By 2016, the study will be carried out in more than 80 countries. The final report will be a comparison of legislative mechanisms used around the world in order to strengthen the industry and trade in agriculture.
The gathering took place at Adam Mickiewicz University Law and Administration Faculty in Poznań headquarters on the 16 of January 2015 and was organised by European law students society - Futurum Europae. The conference was organised as an reaction to Russia's president announcement of the "special economic means application to insure security of the Russian Federation" decree which in consequence brought the last year's embargo declaration on Polish vegetables and fruits. The conference itself was to sum up 50 years of the Common Agricultural Policy's history and achievements. The discussion referred to the policy's present from by going through current binding regulations as well as attempts to shape a possible reform, that could improve the effectiveness of the economic sector protection in case of similar political situation comes about in the future.
We are more than happy to announce that Polish-Ukrainian section of Spanish Arbitration Club has constituted. Spanish Arbitration Club (Club Espanol de Arbitraje) is an organisation; located in Madrid; that promotes economic arbitrage in Spain, Portugal, Latin America and countries, where companies of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American origin are operating. It gathers over 800 members from 37 countries. Due to a growing presence of companies of such kind in Poland and Ukraine, Spanish and Portuguese speaking lawyers from Poland and Ukraine took on creating a new section of the Club. Attorney at law Michał Gniatkowski liable for Spanish-speaking clients at WBW Weremczuk Bobel & Partners, is one of the founder member of the newly formed section of the Spanish Arbitration Club.

It's Altitude Summit week here on The Glamorous Housewife. On Wednesday I am off to the Alt Summit blogging conference and needless to say I am jumping out of my skin with excitement. I will be spending three full days meeting with other bloggers, learning about how to make this blog better, and hobnobbing with some really cool brands like Land Of Nod and BHG! I don't know a single person there, but I am hoping to be coming home with brand new friends and opportunities.
I made this funny little gif to show you ladies what I am taking on the plane with me to stay entertained. So many people do posts on how to pack a suitcase, but they never mention what they schlep with them on the airplane. Of course I will have my wallet and phone, two things I never leave home without. As a Southern California girl I am never far from my sunglasses, so they too are included. I always bring a book or magazines with me when I fly because of the persnickety rule of no electronics for take-off and landing. My feet tend to get cold on airplanes, so I make sure to have my favorite slippers. In addition to my iPhone I also bring an iPad I was thinking of bringing my laptop, but it is crazy heavy so I am just bringing the pad with me and hopefully I can blog with it directly from Alt Summit! I made sure to include a set of my new business cards because you never know who you will meet on a plane, and finally, I always bring my Bose headphones because I have found when I wear them it keeps me from being so tired; the noise from the engines just puts me in a stupor and it is hard for me to snap out of it when I finally land. I know they are crazy expensive, but I do a lot of flying, and they should last for years. For me the cost is totally worth it.
So do you kittens have anything else you make sure to take on your carry-on when you fly?

Sorry, I should have posted this message with the one above...but you know how it goes with us "technoplegics".....
Recently I went to one of those super hi fi THX/SDSS (did I get this right?) equiped theaters in town during the day to get enlightened with knowledge I can use in my home theater...I noted that the large screen was perforated, but the speakers were located on either side outside the screen, not directly behind the screen, also, there seem to be no center channel! if this is so, why then must we have a center channel in home theater in most top-shelf installations? Do the perforations serve a different function other than to allow sound to go through?? It Kind of makes sense to have a transparent, perforated screen to allow good sound/picture alignment of voices etc.,.....can someone enlighten me? mucho thanks!
The only reason to have accoustically transparent screens is to have speakers located behind the screen and still heard.
If there was no sound coming from the center speaker it would be a audio setup error, or blown speaker.

I have LOTS planned for this trip for me (currently 39 but will be 40 by the then) and DH (40). Before we started planning this trip, I had to make sure the dogs in my avatar would be taken care of (Abbie on left, Zoe on right). Now that I know they are, I started planning and will be making ADRs next Tuesday. OK, so we will be staying at a Deluxe resort for the first time.We will be staying at the Wilderness Lodge and we check in September 19 and will be headed home October 1.

Solar energy is important because the sun is a sustainable source of energy that can be used to power homes and businesses globally. Fossil fuels are finite, so it's important that alternative energy sources be embraced. As of 2014, it is widely believed that fossil fuels are causing global warming.Continue Reading
Solar energy is a potential solution to the environmental problems being caused by fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are burned to generate electricity, they release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The vast majority of scientists believe that continuing to depend on fossil fuels is going to cause serious environmental problems in the future.
Another important use for solar energy is in satellites. Many satellites are engineered with photovoltaic panels, which capture sunlight and convert it into electricity that is used to power the satellite. Solar power is also useful in areas where standard electricity is not available. For example, research facilities in Antarctica depend on sustainable energy sources, such as the sun and wind turbines, to generate power.
Emergency phone systems in remote places often use solar power as a dependable power source. Solar energy can also be used to power devices that run at night. For example, some streetlights are able to charge energy from the sun during the day, then run throughout the night.Learn more about Environmental Science

Very cute, well made and my 4lb Yorkie loves it! It's his private space and a place for him to to when he wants to be left alone. I would highly recommend it and size wise Binky could have 2 or 3 friends over for a slumber party but he won't share his house - lol
i love love this little dog house.from the minute i got it and put it together my little 4lb doggie loved it to.this is the best thing i could have gotten for my baby,thanks so much
My 10 pound Maltese mix loves this bed. The pillow is that kind of material that sticks to everything but I put a pillow case on it and it's fine. My dog immediately went into it and now it's his favorite bed.
It's perfectly comfortable and cute for a small dog.
Bought this for my little Shitzu and all I can say is she loves it so much, she makes that darn bed looks so good I thought about buying me one. LOL!
My Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund) adores this little plush home of his, it gives him so much comfort and security...He has a place of his own to go into whenever he's stressed out....A Shame they don't make these in human size...
Got it very fast.
I would have rated higher but when my dog first heard it, he went and hid and didn't come out for a long while, so when I do use I have to turn it off immediately and deal with his withdrawal but it does work, he definitely does not bark, I guess it depends on the breed and size of dog. I would recommend to a friend on what I stated above.

[responding to crowd chanting]
Geez, I thought we'd lost!
My fellow Australians, my fellow Queenslanders. And fellow members of the great Australian Labor party. Today we have fought the good fight as the great Australian Labor party. Tonight is the time to unite as the great Australian nation. Because whatever our politics may be we are all first and foremost Australian. And the things that unite us are more powerful than the things that divide us which is why the world marvels at Australia.
This country which can manage its political differences peacefully and conduct the most vigorous of debates peacefully and resolve our politics peacefully and with civility, that is why this country is such a great country. And that in this marvellous tapestry of modern Australia, the mosaic of our multicultural nation that with fashion such unity out of diversity, therein lies the great Australian miracle.
Which is why we are all proud to be Australian. A short time ago I telephoned Tony Abbott to concede defeat at these national elections.
As PM of Australia I wish him well now in the high office of PM of this country. Therese and I wish he, Margie and their family well in coping with the stresses and strains of high office that lie ahead. We know a little bit of what that is like.
And Therese and I look forward to greeting them at the Lodge early next week in the same gracious manner with which Mr and Mrs Howard welcomed us six years ago. Now I want to speak to Labor people and Labor supporters everywhere across Australia.
Geez, a couple more days we might have got there. I know that Labor hearts are heavy across the nation tonight and as your prime minister and as your parliamentary leader of the great Australian Labor party I accept responsibility. I gave it my all but it was not enough for us to win. I'm proud that despite all the prophets of doom that we have preserved our federal parliamentary Labor party as a viable fighting force for the future.
And I'm also proud of the fact that, despite the pundits, we appear to have held every seat in Queensland.
I saw Sky News just before saying we're all gone, including me. Anyway. I'm proud of the fact that we've held each of our seats in Queensland, I'm proud of the fact that every cabinet minister has been returned at this election. And I'm proud that practically all other members of our executive have been returned as well. But tonight, but tonight we have lost many fine Labor men and women from our parliament and I would like to thank them personally for their courage and their unswerving commitment to our cause, to our party and to our nation.
Just as I would like to thank each and every one of you, the true believers of Australia, who have worked so hard this campaign for your unswerving commitment and to our cause and to our nation.
For our party and for our movement we have known defeat before but I say this to you: throughout our 122-year history we have always, always risen from defeat. To renew our party with fresh vigour and with new ideas for the future. And we'll do it again. Ben Chifley's light on the hill still burns bright across Australia. It is a flame that cannot be extinguished and while there's still breath in Labor bodies, strength in Labor sinews and hope in Labor hearts Ben Chifley's light on the hill will continue forever.
So in the time of rebuilding that lies ahead we must never lose sight of that clear and guiding light. For it remains the beacon of progressive politics for us all. It is what others have called the audacity of hope. Or, put more simply, our simple audacious belief that we can make our community and our country and world a better place for all, not just for some, for all, not just for some. And a progressive view of politics that says that we can believe that we can make this community a nation world of ours a better place than the one we inherited from our forebears. That's the progressive vision of the future. Once again tonight I thank the good burghers of Griffith for their support.
It would be un-prime-ministerial of me to say Bill Glasson eat your heart out, so I won't. The good people of Griffith, the good people of Brisbane southside, it is such a fantastic community and I thank them for their support. It is a truly marvellous part of Australia and I thank them for again returning me as their local member. For the rest of my parliamentary and ministerial team I'd like to say a few words. I'd like to thank directly our deputy PM, Anthony Albanese.
Albo, for a Rabbitohs supporter you've got a lot of support up here in Broncos land. I thank you, Albo, for your courage, your loyalty, your remarkable humour and your determination always to fight, fight and fight … I'd also like to thank tonight our Senate leader, Penny Wong, for her strength.
Rarely, Penny, do South Australians get that welcome up here. Mind you I'm married to one. I thank you, Penny, for your strength, your common sense and your friendship just as I thank your deputy, Jacinta Collins, for hers. To the cabinet, the ministers and the parliamentary secretaries, I value your energy, your fighting spirit and your dedication and that of all your staff who have been out there supporting us all the way through. To our branch members, our campaign workers and our volunteers, I thank you, the army of true believers. I thank, too, our affiliated unions across the nation. For your solidarity with Labor's cause and for your formidable work in the field, you too are the heart and soul of our Labor movement, you too are part of the army of true believers. To my prime ministerial staff, what a fantastic team. Bruce Hawker is here somewhere, a person who has worked on 40 Labor campaigns over the years, is a campaign veteran. Give him a round of applause. Patrick Gorman who has been with me …
And a sandgroper from WA has settled into Queensland remarkably well. Patrick, you've been with me for so long, I thank you for your loyalty, and sense of humour. Jessica Bucovsky for managing my world. She's a Queenslander, by the way. Fiona Sugden, my press secretary, who came back from her previous work with me as PM to join this cause of the last couple of months. Fiona, we love you. Three kids under three or four, how does she do it with a baby of six or seven months? Wonderwoman, that's what I say. And also, of course, Corrie McKenzie who is here as my deputy chief of staff, Jim Murphy my chief of staff, the rest of my immediate team, Matthew Franklin, Eamonn Fitzpatrick and Maggie Lloyd, all all the other fantastic members of my staff, I love you all.
And for putting up with me, I really do thank you for that. Finally, I'd like to thank also our national secretary, George Wright, and his incredible staff of 150 workers at campaign headquarters down there in Melbourne for all the work you have done, thank you, team.
My wonderful electoral staff led by Katrina Hicks, put your hand up, Katrina. And the whole electoral team, including my longest serving staff member Fleur Foster, you are a team of champions. Malcolm McMillan, the president of our FEC, Les Henning, its treasurer, all of our branch members in the Griffith FEC, you are marvels.
And finally, to each and every member of my family here. They are my life, my hope, my encouragement, my support and without them I could have done none of this. With them it has been possible. Therese and Marcus, to Nicholas and Zara, I love you all. Jessica and Albert were with us until only 30 minutes ago. Our bub, our granddaughter Josie, has come down with a fever. They're now off at the local hospital. That's life on the campaign. She would be here in spirit as 14 months old, the youngest young Labor member ever.
Friends, you have had a hard day, so let's bring this to a close when I say throughout our history, we the Labor party have been a party of hard heads and soft hearts. That is the genius of Labor, always attending to the tough questions of the economy and national security through war and through peace, through depression and recession, but never allowing our hearts to harden to those of our Australian family who are the most vulnerable. It is this combination which is the unique.
I have been honoured to serve as your prime minister and as your party's leader. But there comes a time when you know you've given it your all. And a time for the party to further renew its leadership for the future.
For me, that time is now.
So I will not be recontesting the leadership of the parliamentary Labor Party. The Australian people, I believe, deserve a fresh start with our leadership.
I know this will not be welcome news to some of you. But my responsibility has been to maintain Labor as a fighting force for the future so that we can unite behind the next leader of our party.
So friends, you won't hear my voice in public affairs of the nation for some time.
That is as it should be.
So to you, the Australian people, I thank you one and all for this opportunity to serve as your 26th prime minister of this nation, Australia, one of the greatest countries in the world.
I thank you all.

Chris Brown Diss Song
New Chris Brown Diss Song Getting Radio Play
Song Repeats Line: Chris Brown Should Get His A** Kicked
The song is called "My Flow So Tight" by a little-known dance group called Smoke Jumpers. It features the repeated line: "Chris Brown should get his a** kicked."
Listen to the song on YouTube.
A Web site for the group hyped the song as "the official Chris Brown dis record." Radio stations in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and New York have recently begun playing it.
C.W. Griz, a member of the group who declined to give his real name since he expected Brown to be angered by the song, said Friday that he didn't think enough people in the music industry had spoken out against the singer.
The 19-year-old Brown allegedly beat his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, on the night of the Grammy Awards in February. Brown is scheduled for arraignment on felony assault and criminal threat charges on Monday.
"I was really upset with the way a lot of celebrities and people were handling the situation," said C. W. Griz. "Not enough people were speaking out against Chris Brown. What he did was a thousand percent wrong."
He pledged the group would donate a portion of the proceeds from the song to organizations benefiting battered women, but declined to say how much or specify a charity.
"We're not trying to take advantage of a horrible situation," said C.W. Griz. "We want to take a positive stance."

AWAM is a member-driven non-profit working at the local and national level. We have a small number of staff who help coordinate and direct the implementation of projects and events as well as see to the daily running of the AWAM Centre. Our organisational structure emphasises the principles of collectivism and open participation. At the heart of it lies the Working Collective, a body of active members of AWAM who come together monthly to take stock of the organisation's work and ensure that it coheres with our larger vision and direction. That direction is determined by AWAM members in annual evaluation and planning meetings as well as the Annual General Meeting. In line with ROS requirements, AWAM elects our executive committee every other year at the AGM and these office bearers serve in their posts for two years before re-election. Executive committee members and members of staff both sit on the Working Collective.
Programmatic and organisational development work happen within AWAM's thematic and functional groups. AWAM has two thematic groups focusing on Gender-based Violence (GBV) and the Politicisation of Ethnicity and Religion (PER) respectively. They are responsible for developing content and providing substantive input on the two core themes of AWAM. All members are invited to join at least one of these groups.
AWAM has five functional portfolios which are coordinated by staff and serve to support and direct the organisation's programmatic work and general institutional needs and responsibilities. These are:
- Advocacy & Networking (ADV): networking with state & civil society actors, lobbying, movement-building, coalitional campaigns
- Information & Communications (INF): media statements & monitoring, research & publications, website & social media, branding & publicity, resource library
- Organisational Development (ORG): fundraising, membership development, upkeep of AWAM Centre, admin & finance, organisational events, management
- Public Education & Training (PUB): organisational campaigns & events, external & internal trainings
- Services (SER): counselling, legal information, case management, compilation of statistics and cases for advocacy
One or more working groups may be established under a functional portfolio either on a permanent or ad hoc basis to handle specific tasks related to that function.

AN ancient prediction that the world will end in 2012 was wrongly translated,
an expert said yesterday.
The Mayan Doomsday Prophecy made December 21 next year the date of the
But now esteemed Mayan expert Sven Gronemeyer has revealed the world has
nothing to worry about after all.
The prophecy was found on a stone tablet thought to be 1,300 years old.
Mr Gronemeyer, a German who studies the central American civilisation at La
Trobe University in Australia, says because the tablet was cracked the
hieroglyphs were almost illegible and given the wrong meaning.
He says it merely predicts a Mayan god, Bolon Yokte, will return to Earth on
that date.
And because he is the god of creation and war people must "prepare the ground"
for his arrival.
He said there was nothing on the tablet to indicate the god will destroy the
world. Mr Gronemeyer said: "That date is loaded with a symbolic value."
But crucially he added: "It is the passage of a god and not necessarily a
great leap for humanity."
A 2009 blockbuster film, called 2012, used the Mayan prophecy to herald a
global catastrophe.

Quit complaining, it's reasonable to print trends in police reports. If you don't care I think you don't have to read it. Some people will complain about anything.

The 33rd Battalion was formed in January 1916 at a camp established at the Armidale showground in New South Wales. The bulk of the battalion's recruits were drawn from the New England region and thus it was dubbed "New England's Own". The Battalion's first, and only, commanding officer was Lieutenant Colonel Leslie Morshead, who would become famous as the commander of the 9th Australian Division during the Second World War.
The 33rd Battalion became part of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Australian Division. It left Sydney, bound for the United Kingdom in May 1916. Arriving there in early July, the battalion spent the next four months training. It crossed to France in late November, and moved into the trenches of the Western Front for the first time on 27 November, just in time for the onset of the terrible winter of 1916-17.
The Battalion had to wait until the emphasis of British and Dominion operations switched to the Ypres Sector of Belgium in mid-1917 to take part in its first major battle; this was the battle of Messines, launched on 7 June. The battalion held the ground captured during the battle for several days afterwards and was subjected to intense artillery bombardment. One soldier wrote that holding the line at Messines was far worse than taking it. The battalion's next major battle was around Passchendaele on 12 October. The battlefield, though, had been deluged with rain, and thick mud tugged at the advancing troops and fouled their weapons. The battle ended in a disastrous defeat.
For the next five months the 33rd alternated between periods of rest, training, labouring, and service in the line. When the German Army launched its last great offensive in the spring of 1918, the Battalion was part of the force deployed to defend the approaches to Amiens around Villers-Bretonneux. It took part in a counter-attack at Hangard Wood on 30 March, and helped to defeat a major drive on Villers-Bretonneux on 4 April.
Later in 1918, the 33rd also played a role in the Allies' own offensive. It fought at the battle of Amiens on 8 August, during the rapid advance that followed, and in the operation that breached the Hindenburg Line at the end of September, thus sealing Germany's defeat. The 33rd Battalion disbanded in May 1919.

I Will Pay You If U Answer This Easy Question
Ok here's the deal. I got a 157 burton air (width 248) with 11.5 burton moto boots and large freestyle burton bindings. I am 15, 5'7'', and 120lbs. im probably still growing too. I was doing some research and I found that the burton 157 air says bindings should be medium. Will my large bindings and/or 11.5 boots be a problem? another thread said I should get another board completely, but I think the 'rents have ordered it already. If I get the stuff and it doesn't fit, I can always go with the Burton royale 158. I hope that 158 wont be too big for me though. My main question though is will the large freestyles work on this board?
Im the bearer of bad news... that board is a bit big for you length wise and not wide enough. Im 6'1 175lbs 11.5 shoe. I ride a 157cm freestyle. You need a MW board and if you're looking for a freestyle you wont find one for you in the burton brand. The king is a good choice for you but its not a freestyle.

That evening the hostel done a table football competition. I was partnered with Daniel. We were pretty good. We won two and lost two, where as Chris and Tom played four and lost four. They were shockingly bad. After a good bit of fun playing table football the four of us went to a traditional ...

Unlike her sister Serena, who is unbeaten on clay this year and looks as formidable as ever, Venus Williams does not expect to win the French Open. Never in her long career, however, has a fortnight at Roland Garros meant more to the 31-year-old American, whose results here could determine whether she reaches what could be the last great goal of her tennis life.
When Williams was diagnosed last year with Sjogren's syndrome, an incurable auto-immune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain, it seemed we might have seen the last of the five-times Wimbledon champion. But Williams made it her ambition to return and in particular play at the Olympic tournament at the All England Club.
Following last year's US Open, where she revealed her illness, she changed to a vegan diet, adapted her training and sought to find the medication that would bring her some relief. She is still adjusting to her new regime – the medication can take many months to take effect – and admits that, but for the Olympics, she would not have returned so soon.
"I wasn't really ready to come back, but I had to to play the Olympics and I needed the ranking points," she said. "I didn't have a choice. So I'm just fighting."
Singles players must be ranked in the world's top 56 at the end of the French Open to be sure of making the Olympic starting line-up. With a maximum of four singles berths per country, Williams, who has already won three Olympic gold medals, also needs to ensure there are no more than three of her fellow countrywomen ranked above her.
When she played in her first comeback tournament in March, Williams was ranked No 134 in the world, behind nine other Americans. Given her lengthy absence and physical struggles, her results since then have been remarkable: in two months she has reached the quarter-finals in Miami, Charleston and Rome, beaten four top-20 players in Petra Kvitova, Sam Stosur, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic, and climbed 82 places to No 52 in the world rankings.
Crucially, Williams is now the third highest-ranked American behind her sister and Christina McHale, though others could yet overtake her if they outperform her here over the next fortnight.
Asked why the Olympics was such a goal, Venus said: "It's just the ultimate level in sports. It's about participating. It's about having that experience. It's about having the honour to be good enough to be there."
When she was told she had reached her rankings goal, she seemed close to tears. "I don't always feel well, so this means a lot to me," she said. "I've had to get used to how I feel. I've had to get used to a lot of stuff. I have a lot to learn, a lot to figure out. I'm just at the beginning here. I have to make adjustments. Every day is different – and this is probably not going away. All I can do is be positive. You'll never see me down.''
Serena, who shares a house with Venus, has modified her own diet out of sympathy with her sister. She has also seen at first hand how her sister has handled her condition. "It's amazing what Venus has done, it's unbelievable," she said here yesterday. "I don't know anyone out there who has gone through everything that she's gone through and has remained completely positive and yet still played so well.
"To do what she's doing and play a professional sport is, I think, a whole new level of mental strength. I can't imagine personally being in that situation. Everything that she's doing is so inspiring for me."
Serena, who said they had still to decide whether to play doubles together here, added: ''We motivate each other. I think what makes us so good is the fact that we have always had one another throughout our career. We always still have each other and we support one another in our careers.''
Having had her own physical issues in the last two years, Serena agreed she now had "much better commitment" – perhaps as a result of the former world No 1's recent pledge, after some disappointments in her relationships with men, to take a 10-year time-out from dating.
Serena has looked fit and strong during a highly successful clay-court season – she feels "a lot better" after a back problem – and will start the tournament as one of the favourites. "I love being on the court now," she said. "I love every moment. This is what I live for. After going through everything that I went through, I really appreciate every moment more, especially being out on the court."

Some 400 million people in Asia and the Pacific still confront poverty as part of their daily lives due to widening income inequality, despite the region's impressive gains in reducing income poverty in recent decades, according to a new report launched by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in a forum in Bangkok, Thailand. The report, titled Eradicating Poverty and Promoting Prosperity in a Changing Asia-Pacific, notes that on top of the 400 million people — or one in ten — in the region living in extreme poverty, more than one in four people in Asia and the Pacific's developing countries experience poverty in multiple dimensions. This includes additional deprivations that impact their health, education, and standard of living.
Exclusion of women, ethnic minorities, and people living in remote areas create chronic barriers that have stymied human development progress and led to significant disparities within the Asia and the Pacific region, leaving many behind.
A stronger focus on those excluded groups, and on actions to dismantle these barriers is urgently needed to ensure sustainable human development for all. These are among the key findings of the Human Development Report 2016 entitled 'Human Development for Everyone', released today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

International Biodiversity Day offers a timely reminder of the importance of effective management of a country's natural wealth. Few places in the world are as rich in biodiversity as the Philippines: considered as one of 18 mega-biodiverse countries, harboring more diversity of life per hectare than any other country in the world. This immense natural wealth (and it is a remarkable asset) is however at significant risk.
Deutsche Welle, the German public TV service, has released an episode for its Global Ideas program, highlighting the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) in the Philippines to raise awareness on biodiversity financing and conservation. Shot in Bais City, Dumaguete, the film features the Tanon Strait which is a resting ground for whales, dolphins and home to rare marine plants. As biodiversity comes under threat, locals are getting involved in its protection.
Demographic change in Asia and the Pacific is happening at a rate the world has never seen.

They also risk a surge in youth frustration, exacerbating instability and conflict.
The European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched a new project that aims to sustain peace efforts in Mindanao.
