Nairobi (AFP) Aug 2, 2011
The harsh drought ravaging the Horn of Africa is likely to worsen and could trigger famine in more regions of Somalia, aid groups warned Tuesday as they struggle to help the millions already affected.
The United Nations last month declared famine in the Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions in the south of Somalia, but rising food costs, poor or no harvests and devastated livelihoods were worsening the effects of the drought.
"The next three to four months are set to worsen in Ethiopia, Kenya and parts of southern Somalia and the situation will remain classified as an 'emergency' until the end of the year," aid agency Oxfam warned Tuesday.
"The whole south of Somalia is likely to be declared a famine due to a combination of worsening pastoral conditions, further food price increases and poor harvest."
An extra $1.4 billion is needed to stop the spread of famine, said Valerie Amos, the UN under secretary general and emergency relief coordinator. Some $2.48 billion is required to help the drought victims.
Around 12 million people in the Horn of Africa are in danger of starvation because of the prolonged drought that has also hit parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti and Uganda.
The UN Food and Agricultural Organisation said Uganda could soon fall victim of severe food shortages.
"We have started to monitor the situation in Uganda where we are also seeing pockets of food insecurity affected by the same drought conditions," a FAO spokeswoman said.
"Uganda may be the next country hit with these same sort of alarming malnutrition and drought conditions."
Relief groups are struggling to deliver aid to the drought victims and have urged donors to step up assistance to ease the suffering brought by Horn of Africa's worst drought in decades.
The UN children's agency UNICEF appealed to airlines to help fly in food urgently to the drought-hit area.
"We're making an appeal to the air transport industry for free and heavily discounted cargo space to help us transport emergency nutrition supplies to the Horn of Africa," said Marixie Mercado, a UNICEF spokeswoman.
British Airways, Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic and UPS have all offered to transport between 15 and 50 metric tonnes a week, but UNICEF is "looking to others to step forward as well," she said.
UNICEF is trying to get 5,000 metric tonnes of food from its warehouses in Europe to the region, but it costs about $350,000 (250,000 euros) to transport just 100 metric tonnes of food by cargo jumbo jet from France to Nairobi -- and shipping the food would take six weeks.
On Tuesday, US officials said Washington was easing sanctions related to Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels to boost assistance to the drought victims.
The officials said sanctions against the militia would be maintained, but the United States will not prosecute any aid group that makes "good-faith efforts to deliver food."
"Our number one goal is to save lives. Time is not on our side," a US official said on condition of anonymity.
Another official said: "In the face of this evolving crisis and the extreme humanitarian need, we have issued new guidance to allow more flexibility."
The Shebab rebels control much of southern and central Somalia and two years ago, they banned several foreign aid groups from regions under their control but allowed a handful of others to operate.
However their work is still limited by the insurgents' restrictions.
Somali President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed criticised Tuesday a lack of coordination by African and Arab donors to aid millions of drought-stricken people in his country, the worst affected in the region.
But despite the criticism, his government's authority is limited to just a few areas in the capital Mogadishu where it survives under the protection of African Union forces.
Also on Tuesday, a collective of Africans in France urged all Africans living outside the continent to donate money to those affected by the famime and drought.
The Diaspora Afrique group, based in the Paris area, condemned the way African leaders have responded to the crisis.
"More than 10 days after the UN officially declared a state of famine in Somalia, there has been no significant meeting at the African Union, no summit nor emergency heads of state meeting on a crisis that primarily affects the most vulnerable," the group said in a statement.
The AU has announced plans to hold a special donors summit on the crisis next week at its headquarters in Addis Ababa.

Fleeing Somalis overstretch drought relief efforts
Dadaab, Kenya (AFP) Aug 2, 2011
Arriving in their hundreds every day to seek relief in overcrowded Kenyan camps, weak and weary Somalis fleeing extreme drought and conflict face a new struggle to get food and shelter. Like thousands of fellow Somalis, Adan Ahmed made the long and dangerous trek through the parched and famine-struck lands of southern Somalia, hiding from militia gunmen to escape into neighbouring Kenya. ... read more

Chemical Properties of Group 13 Elements
- Reaction with Oxygen
All elements burn in oxygen at high temperatures forming M2O3. The element Tl also forms some Tl2O.
The reaction of aluminum with oxygen is strongly exothermic.
2Al(s) + O2(g) Al2O3(s) H° = - 1670 kJ mol-1
This reaction is known as the thermite reaction. The very strong affinity of aluminum with oxygen is used in the metallurgical extraction of other metals from their oxides.
3Mn3O4 + 8Al 9Mn + 4Al2O3
Cr2O3 + 2Al Al2O3 + 2Cr
- Reaction with Water
Aluminium, in principle, can react with water. But the reaction does not continue due to the formation of thin protective layer of Al2O3.
- Reactions with Acids and Alkalis
Aluminium reacts with dilute mineral acids.
2Al + 6HCl 2Al3+ + 6Cl- + 3H2.
With concentrated nitric acid, the metal becomes passive due to the formation of protective layer of oxide.
Aluminium also dissolves in aqeous NaOH indicating that the element is amphoteric.
2Al + 2NaOH + 6H2O 2NaAlO2 +2H2O + 3H2
Sodium aluminate

Body implants are a staple of science fiction. They turn members of futuristic societies into super-humans, making them stronger, smarter and more capable than an average person.
Implants helped Johnny Mnemonic increase his memory capacity; they fuel Iron Man's suit and keep him alive; and they do much, much more.
As amazing as body implants sound, though, how close are we normal humans to getting one of those? In other words, are contemporary science, medicine and technology advanced enough to allow us to seamlessly meld with the technology and actually improve our lives? Keep reading to find out.

|creating pl/sql package in sql task, only part of package loaded
|Sun, 09 Feb 2003 21:04:00 GMT
Below is a code snippet I use to create a pl/sql package with ant 1.5.1. The package specification creates successfully, the package body does not create, it appears that significant lines of the code are not saved, with only lines at the start and end of the code being created. The code is 742 lines which about 26kb of text. It almost seems like the sax parsing of the sql text doesn't correctly pick up the middle text. Is there a limit to how much pl/sql text can go in to the sql task? Am I running the pl/sql creation the way I should? Any other ideas? thanks Tony <target name = "create" > <sql driver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url = "${database.jdbc.url}" userid = "${database.user}" password = "${database.password}" print = "true" delimiter = "/" onerror = "abort" > <![CDATA[ create package .....

USA PATRIOT ACT ADDITIONAL REAUTHORIZING AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2006--Continued
Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, it has been my distinct pleasure to be either the ranking member of the Foreign Operations Subcommittee or the chairman with my good friend PAT LEAHY. Part of what Senate etiquette tells us is we are supposed to refer to each other as ``my good friend,'' but in the case of PAT LEAHY, it is not only Senate etiquette but it is the case that he has become a good friend.
Twelve thousand votes is quite an accomplishment, but beyond that, I have enjoyed the spirit of bipartisanship with which we have pursued each Foreign Operations Appropriations bill for each of the last 14 years, whether he was chairman or I was chairman. We tried to develop the expenditures of the Federal Government in a way that made sense for America and also had an impact on the rest of the world.
The majority leader has mentioned the landmine crusade Senator Leahy has led for a long time. He is indeed known around the world for that. It has been an extraordinary crusade. He deserves enormous credit for leading it and is widely known around the world for that.
I thank him for his extraordinary service over the last 14 years in which I have been associated with him. It has been a pleasure to work with him every year. I, too, wish him 12,000 more votes.
I yield the floor.

I hear a fearful refrain coming from church leaders, from every denominational level. They twist their fingers into knots as they say: If we don't have our endowment, we will die. It's our job to protect the endowment for future generations. Our future depends on a healthy endowment.
"You might think," I told a group of high school students gathered for "Service Day" at our church's community meal, "that we have to deal a lot with scarcity here. We are trying to feed 250 people a week entirely from donations. But the truth is that our bigger problem is often how to deal with abundance." I pointed at the table where we had put donations that came in from a nearby Whole Foods: strawberries just about to rot, packages of guacamole, gallons of milk, cartons of organic yogurt, and dozens of loaves of bread.
I grew up in the midst of the Prosperity Gospel movement, and it's left its mark, I'm afraid. I believed that God would bless (meaning financially bless) those who served the Almighty. It wasn't only service, but God's favor also came with financial reward.
Beyond Our Means, by Sheldon Garon
Sheldon Garon contends that Americans lack moral teaching on wealth, public policies that encourage saving, and a cultural ethos that nurtures thrift.
My files are full of stewardship sermons. So it came as a shock when people would say, "We know you don't like to talk about money."
This is the third and final post in a series of interview questions. Montreat Conference Center has an Institute for Church Leadership. Since I will be preaching at their "Leading With Bold Imagination" Conference that is coming up, they asked me a few questions. If you'd like to read the whole interview, here is part one and part two. And if you have a chance to attend the conference, I would love to see you there. Montreat's setting can feed the soul.
Docetic offertory prayers imply that the money inside the envelopes in the offering plates is unimportant, even embarrassing.
Most fund-raising board meeting discussions, when stripped to the core, become one common, persistent question: "How can we persuade people to give more?"

When you live in Kansas, you drive through miles of country between the farming towns. At night when you let your eyes gaze over the fields, you can see them far away on the horizons. On the mornings when fog rolls over the land, they're closer than you think. They don't quite walk across the fields, but drift, and some kick up dirt devils wherever they sit. They look like you and me, but they're lost. They're lost because they have no eyes, and they drift because they have no souls.
They're people who've died in these fields, their graves disrupted year after year. Native Americans, pioneers, sodbusters, bank robbers, whores, starved children; yes, the children. Suffocating in the dust bowl, bitten by rattlesnakes, thrown from farm equipment, drowning in the streams. They cry for their mothers and fathers, wandering lonely in the same field, consumed by a fire and shot down in the civil war. They're everywhere, and they want to be seen. Most of all they want to rest.
Where Do We Go When We Die, Papa?
I was raised on an old farm. Our house was built by the same man that built the courthouse in town, about ten miles away. My two sisters and I grew up with a healthy fear of God and the open space that blanketed our land. The fields are vast; high grass grows to hide the snakes and mice, and if someone should mistake you for a coyote, you may meet an unpleasant end. That never stopped us from exploring while the fields were bare. We sat high up in the barn, where the bricks were old and loose around the tall, gaping windows.
It was my littlest sister whom noticed the drifters first. She was seven, and had only just learned to climb the rope to the loft of the barn when she pointed into the fields. We weren't afraid of the shadows that drifted through the fences. We could easily brush them off as figments of our imagination, or trees casting shadows on the ground. My middle sister said we should go closer, so, just as we had a hundred times before, we set out under the barbed wire into the flat mile before us. We ran and ran until we were red and breathless, and then we ran back. We counted clouds and looked for wild flowers until the sun went down, and then we went in for dinner and scripture.
Sitting on the front porch that night, all three of us watched the strangers move over the horizons. My littlest sister was the first to remark about it to our parents. "You should tell Papa to get those people out of the field, Mama. They shouldn't go that far at night," she said frankly.
Mama gave her a strange look. "Nobody's in that field, I don't think there is..." she muttered, checking for herself. She resumed swinging on the porch swing and thought no more of it.
That night we all said our prayers and nodded off early. Around midnight something woke me suddenly. It sounded like a baby's cry at first, but then it sounded like a woman weeping, then a man calling some unfamiliar name. The sound of it shook me up enough to find my parents. About halfway down the stairs a horrible shriek caused me to fall to my knees in terror. What could it be? I thought. This time it was like a slaughtered pig and a shrill owl's scream. As I mounted enough courage to crawl past the kitchen I was caught by my youngest sister, hiding beneath the kitchen table.
She had a knife from the counter clutched in her hand, and the look of terror on her washed over me in an icy wave. She pulled me by the wrist wordlessly to the glass doors. "Look," was all she said. I lowered my head to peek below the pane and saw them.
They were closer now than they'd been earlier. Two had drifted up to the house like they were under still water. They had no eyes, and their faces were of weeping and misery. There was a woman who had a long, simple dress on without any shoes. Her frame was slim and her skin was tight against her bones. She had been sick, I thought, no, I knew. The other was a boy, wearing old clothes. He had no eyes either, but he had a dent in him, on his head, and what looked like a broken arm. He was clutching something. A brick? I thought, Yes, it's one from the barn.
I watched them drift away, back into the night, shrieking occasionally. My little sister and I woke our parents to tell them what we had seen. Papa strode outside with his gun but came back in, saying there was nothing but an empty field. They stayed up with us until morning, and when it came, the day seemed as normal as any. When my middle sister woke up, we retold our tale and she told us to stop scaring her.
A little while later, I found my youngest sister viewing an old photograph hanging in the second living room. It was the family of the man who had built the house, with their maids and field hands. The house in the photo was complete, so it was taken sometime after 1898. The builder was on the far left with one of his daughters in his lap and his wife by his side, three sons and three more daughters standing nearby, three maids and three field workers, making 15 people all together. The woman had been one of the maids, the one in the middle, we were sure, but we weren't so certain about the boy. She thought it was the farm hand, I thought one of the sons. He may not have been the same age in the picture, or he may have not been there at all.
That night my youngest sister sat on Papa's lap as he swung from the porch. The sky was fading and I was ready to go inside when she asked, "Where do we go when we die, papa?"
He considered for a moment and said: "Heaven darling, we all go to heaven."
We never asked any further.
Far From Home
Thank goodness you're here, officer, send someone out to that field over there right away, she might still be there, but I reckon she's gone away now, the sun comin' up and all. I'm afraid of the dark, elsewise I probably wouldn't have crossed the field. My car ran out of gas out here and I saw light a ways off, so I headed straight in that direction. I thought I would find a gas station.
About halfway through the field a little dirt devil whirled up and caught my eye, that's when I noticed the little girl, just sittin' in the field! In the middle of the night!
I was worried for her, so I walk up a little closer and shout: "Hey!" well she turned her head a bit but didn't answer. She was wearin' a dress I guess, it looked almost like somethin' for a dress-up game to me. I walked a little closer and noticed her leg. It was out in front of her, wrapped up in cloth. As I got closer I could smell it, and it had an infection, pretty serious I reckon to smell that foul. So I shout, "You okay? Where is your house, little girl?" and she says:
"I'm far from home." Well that just chilled me to the core. I didn't want to get much closer, so I said:
"Where are your parents?" She stayed quiet for a while and said:
"They kept going, on the trail." I looked around and didn't see no trails, just a big old field! "I fell off." She says, "I fell off and hurt myself." That puzzled me so I asked:
"Well ain't they comin' back for ya?"
"I don't think so. They left me a long time ago."
Well... that nearly broke my heart. So I walk closer to pick her up, you know, take her somewhere where she could get a doctor, find her parents or somethin'. I don't know why but I got this feelin' that she was off somehow, so I walk in a wide circle around her to get a better look at the little thing, and when I get around... well she had no eyes. Like they'd been gouged out or somethin'. Just black holes. I thought, "Well you hurt yourself worse than I'd thought. She could die out here left like that," and went to take her hand. She was cold. Not like ice, but just like the ground beneath her.
I jumped back at that, I knew she wasn't alive then. She was beyond any help I could offer, so I ran. I ran to this gas station and called you folks right away. That's about how it happened, officer.

Raman spectroscopic measurements were performed to determine the presence of a diamond located within an Intralipid scattering medium. The Raman signature of the diamond was recorded for varying thicknesses and concentrations of the Intralipid by use of a 514-nm argon-ion laser and a cw 785-nm Ti:sapphire laser. Results show how Raman spectroscopy can be used as a diagnostic tool for identifying objects embedded within scattering media. In particular, future applications could include tissue diagnostics performed in vivo.

Sarah... DS just went 3 days without pooping where he usually poops several times a day... suddenly last nigth he had a near-blowout! Pretty impressive.
So the probiotics seem to be working, there's a lot less screaming but there's still some. A bath in the evening seems to help her to relax and fall asleep too. She's worst in the evenings so we just try to be prepared for it, unfortunately the trick that works today to get her to calm down won't work again tomorrow so I'm just trying to stay one step ahead of her.
acp and grace24: i would love to hear your/your friend's issues with the nanny/au pair. i am in the process of interviewing now and i think it would help me make decisions and set rules up front.
Dee... so glad you're getting a break, and really happy to hear that you, DH, and M are all doing better. Went to yoga, aaaahhhhh my back feels so much better! Wearing DS even a little in the park is so hard on my back and shoulders.
DH had an interview yesterday and one today - fingers crossed... The sellers are FREAKING out about our request for a 2 week extension on closing. Argh... It's not like we're asking for a month - we were already doing a fast closing schedule!
DH and I cleaned today... this is monumental. We fired the maids in an attempt to take control of our budget... divvied it up into tasks I could do without hurting my arms and things I needed DH to do. As a result we're much more careful about dirtying the house again! This could be a good thing for us.
Julia - we cleaned this weekend... our house was eeewwww. Now it's at least livable. My DH is freaking about money these days since I'm not working so when I suggested a cleaning lady he almost had a meltdown... heehee. We are suppose to clean together but again since I'm home more I end up doing most of the cleaning (which is pretty minimal right now).
for some reason her crying bothers me a lot more when I'm not holding her than when I am. Is this a mom thing?
Xenon, DH is finishing up his Bachelor's degree right now (well off and on, but at some point I'm assuming he'll actually finish!)
for some reason her crying bothers me a lot more when I'm not holding her than when I am. Is this a mom thing?
I've heard of the 4 month sleep regression but did anyone go thru a period around 3 months where their LO just stopped napping? I can't really complain b/c she sleeps great at night (where's that wood to knock on?) but she gets overtired & cranky when she doesn't nap. Our routine used to involve naps of varying lengths basically every time she ate, or at least one every 2 hours. Now she'll doze off while milk drunk for a few minutes & be rarin' to go again. I think she's going thru a growth spurt - could that be a factor?
Dee... I'm so glad you went out with DD! I've been doing trips to the park with the dogs, and walking with him in the carrier, and I always take him to my chiropractor with me (they love him, and the receptionist, bless her heart, babysits while I get worked on), and some other little things. I think it's just about getting used to having baby with you when you do stuff now. It's harder, but more fun Well, sometimes... when he's in a good mood...
Xenon - we are considering Australia as our next destination. The visa process is long and arduous though! My youngest sister is moving there at the end of March with her boyfriend (he's an Aussie). Before I commit to moving around the globe, I want to visit to make sure it's a place I'd like to live so hopefully at the end of the year we are heading there for Christmas in the summer!!! This is all just talk right now so we'll see. Good luck with your interview, I hope it works out well!
Xenon, DH is finishing up his Bachelor's degree right now (well off and on, but at some point I'm assuming he'll actually finish!) and wants to go to grad school in Australia. I've checked it out a little bit & it seems like there's a lot of pharma in Melbourne, which sounds pretty cool. BUT like Natalia said, I don't want to move there without checking it our first, and money is so tight that that might not be possible. I dunno. Big scary changes I don't want to think about.
as promised, here's the view from our bedroom door (deck wraps around the house): http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...ks27-29024.jpg
*that* is why we want them to fix the problems so we can buy the place.

Who are the Deacons the Ducks have to stop or at least watch as they run past them? Senior running back Tarence Williams, 5-10, 178, had a 4.7 yards per carry average and totaled 799 yards and five touchdowns for the season. Last year, Williams scored 10 touchdowns and rushed for over a 1,000 yards. Williams averaged 4.1 yards per carry. Freshman Chris Barclay, 5-10, 175, rushed for 621 yards (5.0 yards per carry, 51.8 ypg) and scored eight touchdowns.
The Deacon passing game is not the same caliber as Pac-10 teams, though the "go-to guy," as described by Deacon Head Coach Jim Grobe, is senior wide receiver Fabian Davis, 5-11, 180. Davis had 35 catches for 548 yards, but no receiver touchdowns. Davis also had 43 carries for 381 yards, one touchdown and an 8.1 yard per carry average. Davis returned one punt for a touchdown this season.
"There's no question we're going to have to throw the football," Grobe said in a press release on Thursday. "Being balanced on offense is going to be the key for us."
Senior quarterback James McPherson, 6-2, 197, was 114 for 207 and 1,596 yards and six touchdowns a 125.54 efficiency rating. McPherson also had 60 rushes for 163 yards including one run of 28 yards. McPherson is a smart veteran and is not afraid of the Ducks.
"Oregon will be tough, but I think we're capable of moving the ball on their defense," McPherson indicated in Thursday's press release. "When it comes down to it, our gameplan is pretty basic; we just have to go out there and execute and score some touchdowns."
Defensively, the Ducks will have to contend with 1st Team All-American Calvin Pace. The 6-6, 270, senior defensive end had 72 tackles this season in only 11 games including 21 tackles for loss and eight sacks. Pace was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. Pace may also possess the special ingredient known as heart or courage as a football player.
"While we may not have as much talent, I think the heart and hustle we play with matches us up with anyone," said Pace.
Just what the Ducks need - an opponent that knows it's own limitations and will rely on heart and hustle to make a difference. Is that something that can be bottled and sprinkled on meals like Tabasco sauce? If so maybe the Ducks could order a couple pallet loads before the start of next season.
The Ducks need a win in the Seattle Bowl to relieve the sting of five devastating losses to Pac-10 foes. The back-to-back Pac-10 champion faltered badly in the month of November losing three of four games. Wake Forest goes into the Seattle Bowl the decided underdog but looking at their record - they had bounced back after each loss for a win. The Deacons lost their final game of the regular season to Maryland 32-14. The second thing that might give some cause for heartburn for the Ducks is that Wake Forest had productive third quarters all season long. Wake Forest scored 99 points in the third quarter this season. Now that is probably more information than the denizens of section 14 may want to hear, but there it is.

Wisdom Agriculture Education Center
Northwestern Oklahoma State University will formally dedicate the new Wisdom Agriculture Education Center during ceremonies at the facility on Friday, Oct. 14.
The dedication will begin at 10:30 a.m., at the University Farm located six miles south of Alva on U.S. 281 and two miles west via the county road toward Avard. The public is invited to attend the event.
State Higher Education Chancellor Glen Johnson, State Regent Jimmy Harrel and other state and local dignitaries are expected to attend.
The Center features 4,000 square feet of space for classrooms, offices and a large shop area. Easley Associates served as the architect for the project.
Funding for the facility came from a private-public partnership with private funding provided by a gift from the Wisdom Family Foundation and public funding made possible by special allocations from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
"Our agriculture education program would not have been possible without the commitment of support from The Wisdom Family Foundation," said Dr. Janet
Cunningham, president. "The investments in Northwestern made by Dr. Peggy Wisdom have been game-changers in our ability to offer new academic opportunities to our students."
Cunningham also lauded the work of Regent Harrel who worked tirelessly to secure the support of the State Regents for the program.
"Oklahoma has no stronger advocate for agriculture education than Jimmy Harrel," Cunningham said. "His work and the support of Chancellor Johnson allowed Northwestern to move forward with this important program."
In just two years, Northwestern's agriculture education program has enrolled 45 students from across Oklahoma.
"Our singular focus is to produce the most highly-trained agriculture education teachers in Oklahoma," said Dr. Steve Lohmann, executive vice president. "I am extremely pleased with the level of commitment demonstrated by our faculty in the agriculture and education departments to make sure our students are prepared for the classroom upon graduation."
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

I can't get to my article in PubMed.

Make sure to link to PubMed from a library webpage so you will see the Find @ UNC button in abstract view. Here is more information about the Find @ UNC button in PubMed.
Another way to find out if a journal is available from the Health Sciences Library or in another campus library is to check the campus libraries catalog.Change the "Search for words" drop down option to "in Journal Title". Use the complete title, not abbreviations. Translate PubMed abbreviations into complete titles here. There are usually separate records for the print and the electronic versions of a journal title, so look closely at your results.

JP Morgan (JPM) and private-equity firm Lone Star are in the final stages of acquiring a portfolio of Spanish property loans from Germany's Commerzbank (CRZBF) for €3.7-3.9B (up to $5.4B), Reuters reports.
The assets comprise €1B of non-performing debt and €3.3B of performing loans backed by office blocks and shopping centers.
Should the deal go ahead, JPMorgan and Lone Star would be following other major foreign investors - particularly Blackstone - into a property sector that is apparently starting to recover from a massive bust that occurred during the financial crisis.

Yutaka Shima was a Human male alive during the 22nd century.
In 2155, Shima was the civilian leader of the outpost on Tarod IX when it was attacked by Romulans. The Enterprise responded and rescued the survivors, including Shima. At a dinner aboard ship, Shima refused to eat anything that was provided because it wasn't available to the other survivors, leading him to walk out. (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

The Land Registry said the average home value in the second quarter rose 17% compared with a year earlier, up from a 14% year-on-year increase in the first quarter.
A further survey from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, which includes Scotland and Northern Ireland, also showed the market gathering pace. Figures based on completion values supplied by 50 lenders put annual house price inflation at 13.9% in June, faster than 12.2% recorded in May. Month-on-month prices rose from £170,719 to £173,756.
The Bank of England's monetary policy committee has raised interest rates five times since November, from a 48-year low of 3.5%, partly to cool the soaring house price boom.
The latest rate rise came on Thursday last week, lifting the bank's base rate to 4.75%, its highest in nearly three years. Afterwards the Bank said that although the housing market was still buoyant, there were signs it was beginning to ease.
However, the Nationwide house price index recently pointed to a pick-up in house price growth in July.
The Land Registry said the average house price in the second quarter was £175,401 in England and Wales and growth continued across all regions.
Top of the list was Middlesborough where values were 59% up on a year ago. A healthy five out of ten of the top ten average price increases were in Wales, where overall average house prices rose by 27.6% in the second quarter of the year.
It was closely followed by the North, and Yorkshire and Humberside where homeowners saw prices rise by 25.8% and 25.6%, respectively.
However, in Reading prices were unchanged during the year, and in Bracknell Forest and Bedfordshire, they rose by just 2% and 4%, respectively.
House price inflation in the south was more restrained, with Greater London recording an increase of 13.7% in the second quarter of the year. This pushed the cost of the average house up from £246,710 to £280,431.
In the South East, the average house price value rose from £194,924 to £213,828, a jump of 9.7%.
The alternative study from the ODPM, which was launched last year in an attempt to create a definitive survey on the property market, said house price inflation slowed in
all the home countries except England where inflation rose from 11% in May to 13.1% in June.
Inflation in Wales and Scotland remained high at 26.1% and 23.8% in June, respectively.
Annual inflation in Northern Ireland remained erratic with a fall from 13.8% in May to 6.4% this month.
