Foreign aid must promote, not threaten, human right to water
Real change in Canada's role in the world will require more than a shift in foreign aid spending and policy. Aid must be delinked from commercial interests.
Since the 1990s, Canada has supported the World Bank's controversial privatization initiatives in the water sector, the authors write. UN photograph by JC McIlwaine

Printed Matter operates the world's two premier events for artists' books, catalogs, monographs, periodicals, zines, and antiquarian publications.
NY Art Book Fair
Held each fall, the NY Art Book Fair is the world's largest book fair for artists' books and related publications, featuring over 370 exhibitors from 30 countries, and attended by over 39,000 visitors annually. Free and open to the public, the fair presents an active program of exhibitions, talks, workshops, book launches and performances, as well as many off-schedule events hosted by individual publishers. Since 2009, the fair has been held at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, Queens.
LA Art Book Fair
The LA Art Book Fair, initiated in 2013, is Printed Matter's companion fair to the NY Art Book Fair. Held at the Geffen Contemporary building at MOCA in downtown Los Angeles, the LA fair features over 300 exhibitors from the west coast and some 20 countries, and is attended by more than 35,000 visitors annually.
The Printed Matter book fairs are curated by Shannon Michael Cane. For more information please visit www.nyartbookfair.com and www.laartbookfair.net, or write to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Contemporary Artists Book Conference
The two-day Contemporary Artists Book Conference is held in conjunction with the PM Book Fairs. The Conference focuses on emerging practices and provides a forum for critical discussions around art-book culture with distinguished artists and panelists.
Printed Matter also maintains an international presence at offsite art fairs across the world in order to reach a broader audience. These include Art Basel, Miami Basel, LA Contemporary, NADA, Frieze NY, Independent, and many others. At each fair we aim to bring a strong selection of contemporary artists' publications and other material not typically present at art fairs. We also regularly participate in alternative book fairs and zine fairs throughout the country. We're very grateful to the fairs listed above for making our attendance possible.

Bill Radke: Meanwhile, China and Taiwan signed a trade deal today that Taiwanese officials call the most important development in their relationship in more than 60 years. The deal gives access to each other's markets, but it's also a big political step for China, as the BBC's Chris Hogg in Shanghai reports for Marketplace.
Chris Hogg:It's not a complete free-trade agreement, but it will cut tariffs some more than 800 goods in the months ahead -- with more to follow later on. Some analysts believe this could boost two-way trade by up to $100 billion. And in Taiwan, create more than a quarter of a million jobs. For China, this was more about winning hearts and minds on the island it claims as its own, says Dr. Tao Wang, an economist in Beijing. Because there are many people in Taiwan who would like to be completely independent from the mainland.
Dr. Tao Wang: As far as China is concerned, if the two sides are more economically-integrated, if the people from the two sides can understand each other more culturally, there will be less support for independence movement.
But not everyone is comfortable with the new arrangements. On Saturday in Taiwan, tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied against the deal. They fear it will bind the two economies too closely together, and in the long-term, that could be dangerous, they say, for Taiwan.
In Shanghai, I'm the BBC's Chris Hogg reporting for Marketplace.

Even I am facing a similar issue - error message displayed when trying for data-masking along with R.A.T. capabilities
Can anybody help resolve this.
Objective - Use Real Application Testing in combination with Test Data Masking Pack
Current Setup
I have a VM Box with Windows 2008 R2 Server OS Image
Enterprise Manager 12c and Oracle 11g Database Instance Installed and configured on the same host.
Have added one more Oracle Database Instance 11g Database instance into the Target Databases.
while doing data masking, when i select the checkbox Ensure Workload Masking Compatibility i always get the error:
"Workload masking is not supported by the target database chosen. You may need to apply a patch or move to a newer version of the database for workload masking."
Can you please guide as to which patches / configurations need to added. I believe the Patches and Provisioning Wizard within EM will help on installing the requiredd patches.
But I am not aware of which patch it is referring to.
highly appreciate your help n guidance in this regards.

An exhibition of Minimalism artist Donald Judd recently opened at Sprüth Magers London, collecting a series of drawings concerned with form.
Lots of them are less known fabricator's shop sketches, showing the artist's hand, otherwise absent from the autonomy and clarity sought by the artist for the constructed objects.
ps. The poster below doesn't belong to this exhibition, but it was good enough to not care.
Working Papers: Donald Judd Drawings 1963-1993 will run from 13 January-18 February at Sprüth Magers London, 7A Grafton Street, London, W1S

Letter(s) from Ekaterina Proschevaeva to Mike (USA)
Letter 1
Hi! How are you? It's so nice to write an email for you!
I will try to be short and I will send my pics and if you like them I will write more about myself, OK?
I have many photos, sorry I don't have a professional one, just usual photos. Let me know and I can send more! I would like to see your different photos also!! I think love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end. I hope you are ready to build love! Aren't you? I think the best way to love is to love like you have never been hurt.
I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful country and I would like to find a man over there who will be interested in meeting me!
I'm looking for a friend, lover or maybe even something serious...
I'm a free bird now, I don't have a boyfriend and I'm open to anything!!!
I would like to have a serious relationship although I don't know if that's possible in internet so I'm looking just for a good man who can show me over there and....... we will see!!!!!!!!
I'm 26 years old. I'm not tall. My height is 5.5
I hope it's OK with you and I will receive an answer from you!
I'm responding from my private email address. So pls answer me here ok?
I hope I'm your type of girl, I'm not sure you like Slavic appearance!! I hope so!
OK, I will wait for your answer. When I hear back from you I will write more things about myself and send more pics!
I'm looking for such love when forever is not long enough....
I hope you will help me to find it!
Marina(this is my real name)
Letter 2
Hello! It's me, one-winged Angel!! My task here on earth is to find another one-winged angel, who will share his wing with me, who will hold me and together we can fly back to the most high!
Just joking )))
I thought I will write you again and send few more pics of myself!
I'm sending three more pics! I hope you will like them!
I think my body and face are OK but I believe the personality and the soul is what makes a person beautiful, it does not always have to be the physical appearance. Real beauty is the beauty of soul.
I'm very tired now, I've just returned from my work.
I will write a longer email tomorrow, OK? I will write you much more about myself!
Please tell me more about yourself and your hobbies and things you like and hate!
I wish you good night and let Angels come to your dreams and maybe I will be one of them!!!!
Letter 3
Hi Mike! This is me again!!!
Sorry I didn't know what to write you last time I was not sure because I don't have any experience in writing to someone in internet and this is very new for me!
I told my sister about you yesterday! She said I should be cautious because there are a lot of crazy men in internet! I hope you are not one of them! I hope you are not just looking to have sex with a woman and run and you will not insist on sending naked pics.
My sister never communicated with someone from another country but she posted her profile on Russian sites and met her husband in internet. I'm sure you are different from Russian men and have only honest intentions! As for me I'm being honest with you.
I would be happy to talk to you by phone someday soon when I feel ready to do it!!!!!!!!! Maybe on weekend or later?
My main hobby is a practice of kundalini yoga. Kundalini Yoga concentrates on psychic centers or chakras in the body in order to generate a spiritual power, which is known as kundalini energy (kundalini energy is a sexual energy). It helps to make a sexual energy stronger and make sexual life more emotional and fulfill it with many interesting aspects...
Mike I can show you some yoga poses when I come over there, what do you think???? Now of course I practice it alone!
I had only once a serious relationship but he moved to another city for a better job, he promised to earn some money and come back to my city but later I've learnt he found a girlfriend and he was living with her. I'm very faithful woman and I couldn't stand it.... so I'm being lonely for 1,5 year...
My last boyfriend didn't treat me well and was a cheater as you see..
Treat me like an angel, and I'll show you what heaven's really like!
Please tell me more about your hobbies!!!!!
I don't have much free time to have many hobbies. Also I like to read books, listen to the music and go to the cinema sometimes.
My favorite actress is Eva Green. I don't have a favorite movie, I like all movies with my favorite actors!
As I wrote you I'm 26. I don't smoke. I drink socially. I don't have any kids although I like kids! I live in the city called Petuhovo.
Petuhovo is a city in Kurganskaya Oblast, Russia.
I think I didn't write you I'm a dancer. And I'm going to get a work visa to come to your country and work there for about one year as a fitness trainer or dance teacher! I don`t remeber if I told you or not but I graduated from Kurgan University two years ago, Economy faculty but I don't work on my specialization because I can't find a good job here in economy sphere, my city is so small. I also have a certificate of fitness trainer.

I have a sister, her name is Elizaveta, she is already married and she lives with her husband.
I also have a younger brother, he is 13 years old, his name is Egor.
He is very clever and he wants to be a naval officer like our father.
He studies in Military school (you can see him on a photo).
My father was a great person, he was courageous and brave. He is an ideal man for me.
My father died 3 years ago in auto crash... My mum cried for several months but now she is ok, she will never meet another man because my father was the only man in her life and now her aim in life is to grow up my brother.
It was my mother's idea to try to work to another country.

Recently my wife and I came to the Hoffman Clinic seeking help for our son who is an ASD affected 2.5 year old. Our son had begun regressing in his development and did not try to talk or communicate with us, which left us feeling helpless to determine what we could do for him. As we worked with the Hoffman Clinic to identify things that were best for him, it was recommended that we attend a seminar on electric and magnetic fields to gain an understanding how they can affect people, especially susceptible individuals such as our son. read more

But Limbaugh pointed to Obama's stark hypocrisy on the use of chemical weapons by recalling the permanent American war against babies in the womb, largely financed by unwilling taxpayers. Millions of America babies are killed each year through the use of chemical weapons in the form of RU-486 and the "Morning After Pill"; yet few voices of outrage are raised in alarm.
(Where is Senator Huff & Puff - a.k.a., John McCain - on this issue of huge moral import?)
Perhaps the difference is that we don't have handy pictures of those American babies, bundled in piles for the world to see.
It is too easy to turn away from the American slaughter of the innocent. They pass silently and privately into death, shrouded by a conspiracy so that we don't have to confront our own holocaust.
Please read Limbaugh's powerful commentary for yourself.

York Lib Dem's announce all female leadership team
3:26pm 17th May 2011
York's Liberal Democrat Council Group have become the first in the city to have an all female leadership team, after Councillor Carol Runciman was selected to lead the party, with Councillor Ann Reid as Deputy Leader.
Councillor Runciman, who was Deputy Leader of City of York Council from 2008 to 2011, was selected to take over from Andrew Waller at a meeting last night.
Councillor Reid will take over as Deputy Leader of the Group, having previously served as Executive Member for Neighbourhood Services.
Councillor Runciman said she was pleased to have been selected as leader and would be keeping a close eye on the new Labour administration.
She said,
"There is no doubt that we find ourselves in a very different position after the recent election but we are a very experienced team. We will ensure we hit the ground running and put pressure on Labour to their promises to the residents of York."
"The Liberal Democrat administration left Labour with a balanced budget that ensured investment was in place for vital services and meant that no libraries, swimming pools or youth centres needed to be closed."
"I will be making sure that we closely scrutinise everything Labour do in order to ensure they continue to deliver the high quality services that York residents have come to expect."
Councillor Runciman added:
"During our eight years running the council we made a very positive impact on the city and have a lot to be proud of. We delivered excellent services at a low cost to residents and transformed the city into a better place to live." Councillor Runciman said, "Labour have promised the residents of York many things in the run up to the election. It is now up to them to ensure they deliver on those promises. If they do not we will be sure to hold them to account."

Heroes of Newerth - Application Error
Hi, as the subject says, I am experiencing an Application Error with heroes of Newerth. This error happens when i double click the hon.exe to launch the game. Instead of starting as usual the error pops up and says the following:" The application was unable to start correctly (0xe06d7363). Click OK to close the application".
I have spent more than 10 hours + in front of my Laptop desperately trying to find a solution to this problem on the internet but no matter how much i looked my understand of this issue has not improved and any of my attempts to fix this by following the instructions other people suggested failed. This problem only started occurring around 2 to 3 days ago and has not stopped since where as before my HoN used to work just fine. How do I solve this issue?
Some things I tried were to delete my antivirus in case it was causing the issue or installing numerous Microsoft Redistributables but nothing helped. I even tried to add some .dll's that Dependency Walker said HoN.exe was missing but it didn't help. I tried to use a USB Flash Drive to copy the Heroes of Newerth folder from a friend's PC knowing that he has no similar problems what so ever, onto mine but the error popped again when i double clicked the HoN.exe Nothing worked...
Here is a link to a Screenshot I took of the Application Error, hope this helps. http://i55.tinypic.com/vfxeuv.png

The Yamaha Audiogram3 USB Audio Interface makes setting up your computer-based recording environment an absolute breeze.
The Audiogram3 comes complete with Cubase AI recording software and a usb cable turning your computer into a powerful yet intuitive tool for recording and editing audio from virtually any microphone or audio input device.
With a focus on simplicity and ease-of-use, the Audiogram3 delivers a compact audio interface complete with both a mono and stereo input channel. Providing maximum flexibility for recording from almost any audio source, the mono input channel features a combo-type connector that can be set for microphone or line level input, while the stereo channel has both phone and RCA connectors. Of course, as this interface is USB bus-powered, it needs no external power supply and is an ideal solution for mobile applications.
High-Quality Microphone Preamp
Also supporting microphone-level input, the Audiogram3 mono channel features a microphone preamp offering excellent audio quality. And should you want to connect a condenser microphone for higher-quality recordings, this channel can even be phantom powered. Regardless of what type of microphone you choose, however, the professional mixer technologies integrated into this preamp will deliver perfect recordings every time.
Direct Connection of Electric Guitars and Basses
With one touch of the mic/instrument select button, you can set the sensitivity of the Audiogram3 mono channel for direct connection of either microphones or instruments. When set to instrument-level sensitivity, for example, you can directly record electric guitars, basses, and many other input devices. And all audio recorded using either of the mic/instrument settings can then be processed to give professional-sounding results using CUBASE AI's built-in effects.
Stereo Channel for Practically All Sound Input Devices
With the Audiogram3, you also get a stereo input channel with both phone and RCA pin connectors that can be used to conveniently connect not only synthesizers, portable keyboards, and electronic pianos, but also a diversity of other sound sources such as CD players, MD players, portable audio players, and even old record and tape players. Providing maximum flexibility for many different recording situations, the Audiogram3 even supports simultaneous recording of the instrument or vocal on the mono channel with the audio being input via the stereo channel. For example, you could easily use this feature to record yourself playing along to a CD or MD backing track or singing to a karaoke track created on a portable keyboard.

Cheesy Zucchini Rice
I hate most vegetables. I do. I want to like them. I've tried vegetables in many different ways in the hopes of loving them, but I struggle. My biggest issue with most veggies is the texture. The texture is not pleasing to my tongue. There are a few vegetables I don't mind. I love raw carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes (although they are technically a fruit). I like cooked peas, broccoli (as long as it is quickly sauteed…I hate it steamed), spinach, mushrooms, and corn (technically a grain, right?). I don't like to eat bell pepper or onions, typically, but love

Masha'Allah, beautiful. Jazakallahu khair for sharing. Our Lord is al-Ghafur, ar-Raheem.
Abu Nuwas was a person who loved to drink and say obscene things, such that he would even make up verses of poetry and sing about inappropriate things. However, he underwent a change and repented to God. People were surprised—Abu Nuwas, who was a known drunkard? Abu Nuwas the lewd man? In a sense, it was almost as though they believed Allah would not forgive him and that Allah would not have mercy on him. So he wrote verses of poetry, and they found these verses under the bed that he died upon. The lines in the poem said:
O my Lord, if the greatness of my sins increase, then I know that Your forgiveness is greater
If only the righteous called on You, then who would the criminal go to?
I call on You my Lord, as you commanded, with reverence
And if You turn my hands away, then who else will have mercy?
Masha'Allah, beautiful. Jazakallahu khair for sharing. Our Lord is al-Ghafur, ar-Raheem.
Amazing! SubhanAllah.
Subhanallah, may Allah accept his repentance
Remembering attributes: Ar Raheem - The Most Merciful
SubhanAllah jazakAllah for sharing
Allah is always present everywhere. Abu nuwas is a person who complete submission himself on Allah. so, Allah allow him positively. thanks for your topic, I feel proud to share with u.
Subhanallah, may Allah accept his repentance.

Former supercop Julio Ribeiro reacts to communal killing in Orissa
I am a Christian, a Roman Catholic to be precise. I have suddenly realised this. It is quite amazing that I did not think of myself as a Christian all these years! I was an Indian. Religion was in the private domain. No one made me feel that I was different and I never felt different. On one occasion in a temple in Punjab even the VHP's Ashok Singhal seemed well-disposed!
Why did it suddenly occur to me that I was a Christian? I really do not know the answer. I only know that I am sorely disappointed with the BJP (a political party that wants all Indians to be Hindus) for not reining in the VHP and Bajrang Dal, who like the SIMI and its offshoot, the Indian Mujahideen, feel that the best and only way to attain peace is to kill those who they think are different.
My ancestors, like those of most Christians in India, were Hindus. True, I have a strange name. It is Portuguese in origin, but neither I nor the numerous other Christians sporting Portuguese surnames like Fernandes (George is a friend of the BJP) have any Portuguese blood. Our ancestors got these surnames when they were baptised and the surnames were those of the different clerics who officiated at their initiation.
Was force or coercion used? I dare say it was. If not force, then certainly coercion. Lure of land, I learn, was the main instrument of that coercion. All land was appropriated by the conquerors and only those who converted retained their share. This, I dare say, was a powerful attraction. Even today, ownership of land is a dominant craving.
Times were different in 1540 when the Portuguese landed in Goa. There was the Inquisition and the fervour of religious conviction. But I refuse to believe that force can be an option in this day and age.
Can anyone be 'forced' to convert as the fanatics suggest? Possibly, there can be inducement. But how far can one go with inducements? Money, land, jobs, education? If money and land were in plenty to distribute, all or most converts would be immensely affluent. But that is hardly the case.
Most Christian missionaries concentrate on education, health, social welfare. This may tempt some marginalised families to cross over, but the answer to that would be to undertake such efforts yourself and not kill those who are doing what you yourself should have done long ago.
The empowerment of the marginalised threatens the vested interests of the upper classes. For generations, tribals and scheduled castes have been kept down. Christian missionaries, with their stress on education and health, have challenged the foundations of this social order. That,
I believe, is the cause of the present upheaval.
The Christian missionaries do believe that their own religion is the only true one. All the three Abrahamanical religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, grounded in the theory of creation, believe that theirs is the only true religion. Judaism is not known to convert. The other two do. In this
day and age, it is difficult to support the notion of conversions. I, for one, do not. To my mind it is not necessary to convert anyone. Even the Catholic Church to which I belong has accepted that good human beings, irrespective of religious belief, can attain salvation.
But there are those who think otherwise. Should they be butchered? It is not only unlawful to kill. It is also immoral. And if the VHP and Bajrang Dal, like the SIMI and the Indian Mujahideen, do not understand this simple rule, it is the duty of the Indian State to make them aware of it. No excuses
should be advanced to mitigate the horrendous nature of their barbarity, as some BJP leaders have done. Because excuses are quickly turned into mandates.
Personally, I do not believe that many Hindus have been converted to Christianity in recent times in Karnataka or even in Orissa. In Kerala, the Christians have been around for the past 2,000 years. But if some conversions have taken place, there are legal remedies available. Surely no one can be permitted to take the law into his own hands and become prosecutor, judge and executioner rolled into one.
And this is why I am disappointed with the BJP. The party has not come out strongly against the atrocities heaped on the Christians of Orissa and Karnataka. L K Advani (one of the leaders of the BJP) himself studied at St Patrick's, a Jesuit school in Karachi. Nobody tried to convert him or other boys and girls who have passed out of Christian schools and colleges in India. He and they continue to be good Hindus, or Muslims or Sikhs.
More important, they continue to be good human beings. And that is what true Christianity is all about. That is what I look for in my religion and what I admire in the teachings of Christ. Love, compassion, justice. These are universal values taught by all religions that the VHP and the Bajrang Dal, SIMI and the IM should try and imbibe. If they do not they should stop calling themselves Hindus or Muslims.

Here at K2 we follow The ASA Learn to Swim Pathway. This means your child will be following a nationally recognised syllabus and awards system produced by swimming's governing body.
The world renowned 'Learn to Swim' programme is used in over 1,000 swimming programmes in the UK and internationally and has already taught millions of children to swim. It continues to be by far the most successful grass-roots programme in British sport.
The ASA Learn to Swim Pathway incorporates the following frameworks:
• ASA Foundation Framework
• ASA Learn to Swim Framework Stages 1-7
• ASA Aquatic Skills Framework Stages 8 to 10
• ASA Adult Swimming
The Learn to Swim programme maintains a focus on 'teaching the correct aquatic skills' to help the children develop the skills they need to become competent swimmers. Children are guided from the ASA Duckling awards to get babies and pre school children started and progressed through to the 'Learn to Swim' programme, where they are taught more advanced techniques.
The Kellogg's ASA Awards support the British Gas ASA Learn To Swim Pathway. Covering all ten stages of the syllabus, the colour-coded badges and certificates have been designed to reward and encourage children to learn the core skills of each individual award stage, as well as ensuring that they have fun in aquatic sport.
All instructors are Level 2 ASA qualified with experience and fully trained to deliver the ASA swimming lessons. All the instructors are DBS checked. Instructors will give feedback via the swimming coordinator on your child's development as well as their progress through the awards system.
What age can children start learning to swim?
Children can start to gain confidence in the water and get used to the swimming pool environment from as young as 3 months.
How do I find out about lesson availability?

New Delhi, Aug 3 (IANS) Parliamentarians from six Western Ghats states on Monday urged Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar to exclude plantations, agricultural fields and habitats of locals from the eco-sensitive zone.
Interacting with the media here after meeting over 22 MPs from Goa, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Chennai and Maharashtra, Javadekar said they had "expressed their opinion and the overall tone of their suggestion is that we must protect nature and the habitat of the people simultaneously".
"To do that, we can ban mining and highly polluting industries but the plantation, agriculture and the habituated area (of the local residents) should be excluded from the eco sensitive zone," he added.
Terming this "a major suggestion", Javadekar said further adding that another meeting to discuss ways to come up with a sustainable development model for Western Ghats will take place next week.
The environment ministry has to take a final decision on the demarcation of an eco-sensitive zone in the Western Ghats by the end of August. The meetings with parliamentarians from stakeholder states are an effort to get feedback before taking a final call.
Javadekar said that the final decision will be taken soon after studying survey reports submitted by the stakeholder states as well as consulting the people.
"We have received written reports from Kerala and Goa and the remaining states are ready with their reports and I hope we will receive them in the next 2-3 days. Based on these reports and after consulting the people, we will take a final call," he said.
The K.Kasturirangan report had in 2013 recommended that 37 per cent of the Western Ghats area be declared as ecologically sensitive.

Below is DH's idea of retaliation against the computer. No, kidding. If when one yells at the computer, the computer doesn't respond appropriately, apologize for f*cking up, and politely fix itself, this is what happens. And because poor mister HP scanner decided not to work properly earlier this evening, he's dead, stone cold dead.
And so I decided to do some research on how to fix husbands that don't work properly, don't apologize for f*cking up and refuse to fix their bad habits.
I've got to get a copy of this book!

Consumers expect a traction battery to work reliably in challenging automotive environmental conditions – like any other electrical unit does. For electric and electronic equipment in road vehicles, ISO 16750 standardises the environmental conditions and tests. Car manufacturers refine this basic requirement to generate their own specifications.
Our automotive testing services are experienced and familiar with these tests. We can test the performance of cells, modules and packs up to 500kg under the following environmental stresses:
Characterisation and performance testing is done both during and after the environmental simulation.

Shutter speed represents the time that the shutter remains open when taking a photograph. It is measured in seconds or fractions of a second.
The total exposure of film is proportional to the duration and amount of light that reaches it.
Just as with aperture stops, shutter speeds can
be set in fractional stops.
Typical shutter speed scale:
1 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/250 1/500
Each of the numbers in this sequence (each stop) represents a halving to the right, or doubling to the left of the amount of light from its immediate neighbour.
If you want to avoid motion blur and achieve sharp images, assuming a normal camera and a steady hand, you should use a minimum shutter speed equal to 1 over the focal length of the lens i.e. a 28 mm lens can be held steady at 1/28 (1/30). If your shutter speed is slower than the reciprocal of the focal length of your lens, you should use a tripod to achieve a sharp image.
As a general rule you can't achieve sharp shots at speeds slower than 1/60, but with rangefinder cameras (see Rangefinder Vs. SLR) because there is no vibration from mirror slap people say they can go down to 1/30 although this is below the reciprocal of a 45mm lens. Legend has it that Cartier Bresson could shoot hand held at f1.4 at 1/4, but as a rule stick to 1/60 and you'll avoid unwanted motion blur.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Chesterfield, Cllr Donald Parsons and his wife Diane, attended The Mayor of Chesterfield's Gala Dinner fund raising event in aid of the four chosen local charitable organisations.
The Nenna Kind Cancer Drop in Centre, The Shoe Box appeal to Afghanistan, Chesterfield Armed Forces Day and the Staveley Armed Forces and Veterans Association will all benefit from the 2012/2013 appeal. Each organisation is also represented within the Appeal Committee.
The gala dinner was held in the Proact Stadium on Friday evening however, the atrocious weather did take its toll on some attendances from outlying locations.
After a blessing and grace from the Rev Richard Harris, civic dignitaries, councillors from around Derbyshire, families, friends, committee members and volunteers tucked into dinner.
Leader of Chesterfield Council, John Burrows, used his inimitable auction skills to extract further funding to boost the appeal's coffers.
Hot on the heels of the auction came live music from the Buddies and a disco.
Over £1,000 was raised by the gala dinner event and this result could not have been achieved without the support of participants, contributions and the teamwork and advice offered by Gary Cook and Emma Bolton of the Proact Stadium.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Chesterfield have expressed their appreciation and thanks to all involved on behalf of themselves and the Appeals Committee.

MIAMI -- After a two-year trial, a jury took less than five hours Friday to decide that the tobacco industry should pay a record-shattering $145 billion in punitive damages to sick Florida smokers -- an amount industry lawyers predicted would break the industry.
Stock prices of the five companies were down moderately following the ruling.
Spectators gasped as the judge read the first dollar amount and, after the verdict was read, smokers' attorney Stanley Rosenblatt hugged several clients.
''It was a day of reckoning,'' Rosenblatt said. ''This was never about money. This was about showing these companies up for what they are.''
The companies plan to appeal, and the verdict will likely be tied up in the appeals process for years and is not expected to have any immediate impact on the industry.
Philip Morris Inc.'s attorney, Dan Webb, called the ruling ''an unfair procedure, unheard-of in American history.''
''There's probably not a country in the world that can withstand a verdict this size,'' said Webb, whose company was ordered to pay $73.96 billion, or about half of the total.
The jury also ordered R.J. Reynolds to pay $36.28 billion; Brown & Williamson $17.59 billion; Lorillard Tobacco $16.25 billion; and Liggett Group Inc. $790 million.
''Lot of zeros,'' Circuit Judge Robert Kaye said after reading the breakdown.
Frank Amodeo, one of three Florida smokers chosen to represent the entire class during the trial, said he hopes this will stop the tobacco companies from marketing cigarettes as if they are safe. The Orlando clock maker contracted throat cancer about 10 years ago after decades of smoking. He cannot swallow and must be fed through a tube.
''There is no amount of money in the world that will change the way I eat,'' Amodeo said.
Another representative, Mary Farnan, a north Florida nurse who contracted lung and brain cancer after smoking for 29 years, called the verdict ''absolute justice.''
''I'm sincerely happy for all of these people,'' she said, pointing to the courtroom where several other ill former smokers sat. (The third representative, Angie Della Vecchia, died last year of lung cancer after smoking for 40 years.)
The six jurors, who heard testimony from 157 witnesses, began deliberating the punitive damages question Friday morning.
It was the third time the jury has deliberated in the case, the first smokers' class-action lawsuit to go to trial. The panel decided in July 1999 that the industry makes a deadly product. In April, the jury ordered the industry to pay $12.7 million in compensatory damages to the three smokers representing the class.
The smokers wanted the tobacco companies to pay $196 billion as punishment for making a product that kills 430,000 Americans a year and for misleading the public since the 1950s, when internal research concluded smoking causes cancer.
Top executives from all five defendants made unusual appearances to testify they didn't deserve to be punished because they have changed their ways and are already committed to paying billions of dollars to settle the lawsuits brought by the states.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called the decision ''an obscene symptom of a court system that is out of control.''
''Trial lawyers have subverted the legal system for their own financial gain,'' said Bruce Josten, Chamber executive vice president. ''Legitimate, but politically out-of-favor, businesses have been attacked by attorneys driven by the prospect of absurd punitive damage awards.''
The ruling was the largest jury damage award ever, far surpassing the $22 billion awarded in Hawaii in 1996 to a treasure hunter who sued former Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos for the alleged theft of gold bullion. That verdict was later overturned.
The largest previous punitive-damage award was $5 billion against ExxonMobil for the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. The company is appealing. The previous record for punitive damages in a product-liability case was $4.8 billion against General Motors last year in a California car fire. A judge slashed the award to $1.09 billion.
After Friday's verdict, Philip Morris share prices closed down 31.25 cents to $24.688 and shares of RJR were off 93.75 cents to $26.188, both on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares of Vector Group Ltd., the parent company of Liggett, were down 43.75 cents to $14.438, and Loews Corp., parent of Lorillard Tobacco, was down 43.75 cents at $63.063, also on the NYSE. British American Tobacco Industries, parent of Brown & Williamson Tobacco, was down 25 cents at $12.50 on the American Stock Exchange.

RICHLAND HILLS, TX -- Three years ago, entrepreneur Kelye Stites began an acquisition program that would merge the assets of several leading recreational product manufacturers.
In May 2009, a limited partnership led by Stites, who already owned Champion Shuffleboard Ltd., acquired Valley-Dynamo LLC, a division of Brunswick Corp. And one year ago, he acquired Connelly Billiards from Arizona's Southwest Billiard Manufacturing.
On the eve of the three-year anniversary of the Valley-Dynamo acquisition, Stites announced that the move of all his table game holdings into a newly purchased 169,000-sq.ft. building has started. The move is expected to conclude during the summer; the new location remains in Richland Hills, TX.
"Not only does this improve our communication and give us more room for current production," Stites said, "but we now have space for future expansion and additional acquisitions as economic conditions improve."
The new facility will build and ship pool, foosball, shuffle and air hockey tables under the Champion, Connelly, Valley, Dynamo and Tornado names for the coin-op and home markets. All lines will be fully assembled in the new plant, which will also house operations for Sun-Glo accessories and Valley-Dynamo parts.
"Products can be manufactured in the same facility and shipped from the same dock in a single pickup," Stites explained.

Fiji's Shark Reef Ebook
Beneath Beqa Lagoon
by by TIM ROCK
Other versions of this book
Print Book
About the Ebook
This is FIJI! Welcome to God's Country! This condensed and smaller format book of our famous coffee table version "Fiji's Beqa Lagoon" celebrates the unique ocean region of Fiji's southern coastal reefs and sea mounts off the island of Viti Levu. This vast region is part of the southern and central Beqa Lagoon. Big sharks, scenics, overlooks, reefs, caves, aerials, culture, dance and much, much more can be found in this special region of the lush island. Every year people flock to Fiji and many of them are divers. Known for its soft corals and stunning reef life, the Pacific Harbour area and Beqa Lagoon's Shark Reef Marine Reserve are gaining great fame. This is the one of the few places on Earth that you can dive with eight different species of shark on one dive and see them in their environment. It's an amazing sight to watch the grace and power of the big, deep water sharks and the swift and silky movements of the upper reef sharks. This is due in a huge part to the efforts of Beqa Adventure Divers who have established the Shark Reef Marine Reserve. This special reserve would not have been possible without the involvement of the Fiji Department of Fisheries and the traditional owners of the reef, the villages of Wainiyabia and Galoa. It is to them divers can extend a special thanks. Both villages have agreed to relinquish their respective fishing rights to Shark Reef and in exchange, every diver who participates on The Shark Dive pays a 'Shark Reef Marine Reserve Levy'. This money is collected by Beqa Adventure Divers and deposited monthly into each village's community bank account. This book is a visual trip to the south of Viti Levu, its people and its undersea attractions in the famed Beqa Lagoon. See the land, the coral reefs and marine creatures, the wonderful people and Fijian culture, aerials and overlooks and, most of all, the amazing sharks. With 159 photos spread over 80 pages, this book shows you the heart of the reserve and southern Fiji.

13/1 long-shots Hull hope the backpages will upset Chelsea ahead of their trip to the KC Stadium
Hull v Chelsea, Premier League, February 2, 2010
Hull 13/1; Draw 9/2; Chelsea 30/100
John Terry was a feature on both the front and back of the Sunday papers and will undoubtedly be the star attraction at the KC Stadium. The likes of Vanessa Perroncel, Toni Poole and Wayne Bridge have little to do with this match but Chelsea's performance at Burnley and in particular "The Cheat's†goal suggest like many scoundrels before him (e.g. Lee Bowyer during his court case) adversity brings out the best in the England captain.
Chelsea have backed their man to a hilt in recent days and who can blame them. Manchester United's comprehensive win at the Emirates on Sunday has left the Blues with an opportunity to go four points clear at the top of the table against the second worst team in the league.
Carlo Ancelotti's side come into this match following an excellent January. All five of their matches in the first month of 2010 ended in victories and the loss of African stars Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba had absolutely no impact. Chelsea scored 19 goals last month and also have recent experience of winning away up north thanks to victories at Preston and Burnley on Saturday. (Chelsea are 11/8 to win both halves, 8/11 against.)
Florent Malouda has been particularly impressive in recent weeks, scoring three goals in his last five matches. Frank Lampard has also quietly gone about his business (five in his last five matches), Nicolas Anelka continues to threaten in every game and Daniel Sturridge also came of age with Drogba in Angola.
The Ivorian striker could well be involved against Hull and he will be looking to make up for lost time after his disappointing performances at the Africa Cup of Nations. Deco will also expect to start after a brief cameo appearance in the win at Burnley.
Hull are second from bottom and are on a horrible run with echoes of last season where they struggled for much of the second half of the campaign. The Tigers last won a Premier League match at the end of November when they beat Everton 3-2 at home. (Hull are 4/6 to be relegated.)
Since then things have been bleak for Phil Brown's side who have picked up just four points from a possible 30. There have been some decent results, including draws at Manchester City and Spurs, but against the best teams Hull have struggled.
They lost twice to Manchester United in a month, conceding seven goals in the process and also conceded three at Arsenal and four at Wigan. The Tigers will also be smarting from their 2-2 draw (29/1) with Wolves on Saturday, a game they had to win and were twice pegged back in.
Following the match much of the transfer talk was about Stephen Hunt and the former Reading winger will be key to Hull's survival hopes. Jimmy Bullard cannot return quick enough from injury and new loan signing Amr Zaki will be hoping to bring the form he showed in the first half of his spell at Wigan last season.
Hull took a shock lead at Chelsea on the opening day of the season with the Blues eventually winning thanks to a Drogba brace, the second of which came in injury time. Carlo Ancelotti will be well aware that the next two games see Chelsea face Arsenal at home and then Everton away and a four-point cushion will be most welcome.( 5/4 to be under 2.5 goals, 11/8 to be over.)
101gg predicts: Hull 0 – Chelsea 3 (John Terry to score) (8/1)
Hull 13/1; Draw 9/2; Chelsea 30/100

A few scant days ago, organizers told me what they didn"t want Bonnaroo to turn into was just Phish Fest on a bigger scale. Of course, they"ve been developing what is an honest-to-God music AND arts festival, but its roots are in rock and rock is what we got on Day Two (Friday, June 11) of the four-day fest.
Kings of Leon basically got prime time to itself, playing a homestate set that flirted with the two hour mark. Heavy flood lights blurted on and off like headlights on the interstate behind the foursome, lightly ragged, running through the setlist like a machine.
Frontman Anthony Followill didn"t offer too much to a crowd of around 70,000 banter-wise, but when he did, it was to reveal new songs and to politely beg our pardon: "I hope y"all don"t mind," he said, taking a shot with a Bud chaser, "I"m gonna get drunk."
[More thoughts after the jump…]
While in his interview with HitFix last month drummer Ivan Followill said new KOL material was bound to be dark – influenced by recording in New York – at least one new track from last night is far from it. Anthemic, rising, pop-leaning almost, this one in particular had the lyrics "Drink the water /where you came from / where you came from." It sounded incredible.
There was also the Pixies cover, "Where Is My Mind," instrumentally a carbon-copy (in a good way) of the original, though with Anthony"s sexy wreck of a voice. The crowd applauded over the final, a capella "ooo," but we"re not the ones getting paid. They followed it by "Sex on Fire," a good answer to just where their minds are.
Aside from a couple deflated "WOWS" on my personal favorite "Charmer," Kings of Leon played the record, or rather records, sticking mostly to "Because of the Times" and "Only by the Night." As was predicted, there wasn"t much for strutting or guitar duels or calls and responses.
The Flaming Lips had the benefit of gab from fest-goers all day, as folks discussed loudly which song during the "Dark Side of the Moon" set they"d get most high. And wild-haired lead singer Wayne Coyne knew green was on the brain, as he urged the audience to make a stand, work hard, so that next year at this same time, marijuana would be legal nationwide. The costume-heavy crowd heartily agreed in theory to the challenge.
The Lips had the added benefit of Death Star and White Dwarfs as they all worked in tandem to recreate the classic Pink Floyd album, and for the most part, they did it in stripes (and smoke). Everyone was positively swimming in "The Great Gig in the Sky," and "Money" was played slow and grimey. Side two, after that, started getting blurry, "Brain Damaged," if you will, and the final bows were followed by the house music: "What a Wonderful World," Louis Armstrong.
It marked only the second time The Flaming Lips had played "Dark Side" live.
The Lips" set was split in two, as the Pink Floyd set was preceded by just the band"s own songs, a couple psychy "Embryonic" tracks like "I Can Be a Frog" thrown in the standard, awesome collection of beloved tunes. On "Do You Realize," Wayne Coyne rattled into a heartfelt diatribe about love (just after requesting folks to throw peace signs into the air and shoot good vibes to the Middle East).
Confetti flew from canons, poppers popped streamers, Coyne rolled over the crowd in his clear plastic space ball, he rode on the shoulders of a man in a bear costume and spent a little time on his own little stage catwalk jutting out into the front rows.
I had the privilege of dancing in a polyester orange spacesuit on the edges of the stage during that set, true story. I"ll recount that tale on the site soon.
Those who survived and were willing headed to That Stage at 2:30 a.m. for LCD Soundsystem, and the dancing die-hards were nothing if not willing. Disgustingly enduring drummer Pat Mahoney, keyboardist/synth-master Nancy Whang, bassist Tyler Pope and others swarmed around James Murphy, grizzled but giving, on nothing but the mic all night.
A little belly poked underneath his gnarly t-shirt, an awkward haircut proud in its grays, his eyes clinching from sweat and the stream of white light shooting up from the floor, casting weird and devastating shadows of a man admitting to "Losing My Edge" and being brought down by New York: This is why I love James Murphy. He has no pretense or swagger, an aw-shucks-ness that perturbed some at Coachella earlier this year, but was an exorcism, grieving and celebration to what Conan O"Brien referred to as the refugee camp at Bonnaroo.
He did what even he"s called his dumb songs, like "Pow Pow" and "Drunk Girls," with "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" feeling like an invite to a big dumb party. The crowd reacted accordingly.
"All irony aside," Murphy warned, "please stop throwing things." Glow sticks continued to whiz past his ears. There was also an incident with Naked Guy, who Murphy acknowledged with a "Things just got weird."
He got serious with "All My Friends," which revamped with much satisfaction past the seven-minute mark, and he ended with "New York I Love You" with a side of a mournful clip of "Empire State of Mind," a good reminder Jay-Z"s taking the stage on Day Three.
I was sick with pleasure over this set; for the years I"ve been an LCD fan, this was my first viewing, and I was shocked at what a talented live vocalist Murphy is and how a live band accelerates even the with the simplest sketches of songs, like "Yeah."
More thoughts on the day:
Conan O"Brien introduced a couple stage acts, includeing Tenacious D. He hugged Jack Black while on his knees, while Kyle Gass, naturally, came up and air-humped him from behind. What he called "the greatest band in the history of entertainment" was, at least, entertaining, and surprisingly, continuously funny, making fun of themselves and their botched film "Pick of Destiny," battling the devil in a rock-off, indulging in an abundance of d*ck jokes, honoring the late Ronnie James Dio with "Dio" and lacing "Pinball Wizard" with numerous variations on the word f*ck. Black looked like a chubby wet mop and all rocked quite hard. Steve Martin — who was in to do a bluegrass set — made a cameo.
Gaslight Anthem may have one of the best, rising rock records today – "American Slang," out June 15 – but they had a difficult time getting the crowd into the slower jams and the lesser-knowns, not an unlikely fate, but tough regardless when everybody"s hot and just waiting for "Great Expectations." Jersey felt a million miles away, but they work really hard, look really great and should remember to bring Springsteen with them next time.
The National just keep getting better. They also still won"t play anything from "Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers." Bummer. Still, their performance popped even when it wasn"t "Mr. November."
Highlights at Nas and Damian Marley were their blistering "Nah Mean" (from collabo record "Distant Relatives), Nas' own "Hip-Hop Is Dead" and Marley taking after dad Bob on "Could You Be Loved."
Samantha Crain – who I"ve touted here – is a gem. Her ponytail swang in time with her Americana acoustic rock tunes, in those that sizzle and those that mutter.
I can have no regrets, as it was unpreventable, but Chromeo played a dance set with Daryl Hall. Of Hall & Oates. Ridiculous. I hear they did "Kiss on My Lips." I'll bet there was a lot of kissing.
