Margaret Barihaihi International Coordinator Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance (ACCRA)
20th Oct 2016
In this blog, Margaret Barihaihi tells Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance's (ACCRA) story to inspire development practitioners and partners in making long term impact in the lives of men and women affected by climate change and disasters.
Transformative change takes time. Before it can be called transformative, real change in people's lives has to result from shifts in systems, attitudes, traditional norms and behaviours. After 5 years of experience in resilience programming, ACCRA country teams have started to understand the key ingredients needed to sustainably transform systems. It is essential to get the context evidence right and tailor capacity enhancement efforts of potential change makers within the systems. As well as to empower women, men, girls and boys with knowledge and skills to effectively engage and
participate in their governance systems. But how can development partners and practitioners ensure that systematic change comes within and not outside? Here is ACCRA's learning journey to bring about long term change.
I joined ACCRA in January 2010 as a National Coordinator at World Vision in Uganda as the programme was being established in the three African countries of Mozambique, Uganda and Ethiopia. Through an interactive approach decision makers started to think differently to make sustainable development investment decisions
ACCRA's first 3 years (2009 -2012) which were focused on researching how development interventions support or reduce adaptive capacity to climate change and what it takes to plan for an uncertain future, were not all that pleasant. I remember resistance from a number of government officials in Uganda when we introduced the ACCRA research
methodology and programme. According to them, investing in climate change research was a waste of funds but thanks to flexible donor funding, ACCRA eased this resistance with a new, game changing approach.
We introduced a "learning and relationship building package" for government technical staff, policy makers and local CSOs to make climate change a concrete development issue which needs long term and systemic solutions. Using a mix of sensitisation, tailored skills-enhancement training embedded into community visits, trainers' training, inter-country exchange visits and regional learning events. ACCRA reached a step ahead getting government decision makers to appreciate evidence based planning. They started to think beyond their traditional out-put based planning cycles
to long term and outcome impact level thinking and to understand that contextual and differentiated vulnerabilities are key for planning for uncertainty.
ACCRA took 8-10 government officials to its research sites, allowing communities and their leaders to interact. Most of the officials confessed it was their first time visiting such hard to reach and underdeveloped areas. As Meteorologist James Bataze, says in his blog, ACCRA research also came alive in Flexible -Forward looking-Decision Making (FFDM) games. Through this interactive approach, planners and decision makers started to think
differently and to make long-term plans around climate change as they strive to make responsible, sustainable development investment decisions.
The diverse learning and multi-level-sector connections ACCRA established at the beginning of the programme anchored strong relationships and trust between ACCRA and national states and positioned ACCRA differently to other actors in the adaptation work. Indeed, the government officials that participated in ACCRA's research and learning exchange events, who we refer to as "champions of people-centred programming", have become our influencing entry points. As the State Minister for Environment in Uganda stated, its time to re-think the governments approaches.
Without understanding the associated risks, we have no option for the complexities brought by climate change
As a result, ACCRA has started registering systematic change at country level. In Uganda, the Meteorological Authority has adopted a seasonal forecast model that has made a huge difference in the livelihoods of the rural women and men farmers who can now access weather information in their local languages. The innovation has attracted other donors such as GIZ, USAID, and UNICEF to scale up ACCRA's model.
In Mozambique the Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development (MITADER) has adopted the Tracking Adaptation and Measuring Development (TAMD) process as a climate-resilience planning tool for developing local adaptation plans. This is evidenced in the FY2015-2019 government plan to develop 10 local adaptation plans per year- 11 have already secured government funding. The initiative has attracted other donors like DANIDA and USAID to
scale up ACCRA model. The Ethiopian government under the Ministry of Agriculture has boldly taken steps on gender mainstreaming in the Climate Risk and Green Economy strategy. This is part of nation-wide capacity enhancement efforts at regional and local levels.
Globally and regionally, ACCRA's success stories and evidence of engaging and influencing national systems are getting high recognition. Since 2011 we have been active in annual events like the Community Based Adaptation Conferences, the SDGs, UNFCCC COPs, Sendai Framework discussions and the Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum. Our impact has even been demonstrated by the quoting of our research on adaptive capacity in the
IPCC's 5th Assessment Report on Adaptation (Chapter 22).
This systematic transformation process is exciting. The fact that it is emerging after more than 5 years provides a critical reflection for programme designers, implementers and donors in resilience work. I strongly believe that, without understanding the associated risks and vulnerabilities, we have no sustainable option for the complexities brought by climate change. This is why all development actors need long term and flexible funding that allow innovation and adaptive management to respond to the evolving priorities of the most vulnerable.

Injury blow for Real
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Real Madrid will be without Brazilian defender Robert Carlos for the next month.
Real Madrid will be without Brazilian defender Robert Carlos for the next month, while Marcelo is set to be out of action for eight weeks.
The veteran defender picked up a calf injury during Thursday's Copa Del Rey clash at Real Betis and scans have confirmed a tear to the muscle.
The news will come as a blow to coach Fabio Capello as Marcelo, who is viewed as Roberto Carlos' long-term successor down the left-hand side, is also sidelined with an ankle injury.
Marcelo only joined Real in January from Fluminense, but he is set to miss the next two months after damaging his ankle in training.
Capello's men host Real Zaragoza on Sunday and Raul Bravo may be asked to cover at left-back.

The Rule of Thirds lets you know.
The Rule of Thirds is a concept that tells you where your gross revenue should be divided up and distributed. It is akin to a budget but is more generalized. It is a barometer of your money.
Basically, one third of your gross revenue will go to operating expenses (chiefly fuel, oil, fuel additives, truck washes, tolls, parking and other costs to operate the daily business), one third goes to the truck (maintenance, repair, insurance, registration), and one third goes to the driver. If any of these thirds are significantly out of whack, there's a problem, and it tells you where to look in order to fix it, as well as how to help in preventing it from happening in the first place.
It's not a hard and fast rule, of course, but a general one. There will be times when the percentages vary greatly from the 33 percent. Unfortunately, most of those times will be when it is your Third that takes the biggest hit. If you operate knowing the Rule of Thirds, and plan accordingly, you can weather most problems. If you spend 25% on fuel and oil, another 20% on the truck, and then pocket & spend the other 55%, it's a problem waiting to happen, because you don't have any money available for maintenance and repair. On the other hand, if you buy less expensive parts online instead of paying list price at a dealer, and if you can do some or most of the maintenance yourself, you can take those savings and add that to your personal third.
Most people will put 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year on their car. They are familiar with the maintenance schedules for that kind of mileage. Every 2 or 3 years you have to do this, and every 4 or 5 years you have to do that. Most come into expediting with that mindset. But in expediting, you are putting five years' worth of miles on your truck every year. You have to plan for that.
One important part of planning for your expenses is to know your Cost Per Mile (CPM). You need to know how much it costs you for every mile you move your truck, loaded or not, paid or not. Some people, newbies especially, will look at a high paying load, like a $1000 load, and they will subtract whatever their fuel will cost to run that load, and think whatever is left over is what they are making on the load. Say you're in a Sprinter getting 20 MPG and the load is 900 miles that pays $1000. 900 miles divided by 20 MPG is 45 gallons of fuel, at $4.00 a gallon is $180, so you think you've cleared $820. If you are one who dismisses the CPM as irrelevant, and think deadhead doesn't matter, that's it's only the revenue of the next load that matters, then you won't consider the 150 mile deadhead to go pick up the load as important. Even if you figure in the cost of fuel for the deadhead, which is about $30 in this case, you'll think you're clearing $780 for the load.
But the Rule of Thirds should tell you that one third of that $1000 goes for operating expenses, another third goes to the truck, and the remaining third goes to you. So, you actually make about $333 on the load, not $780. And if you take that $780 and pocket or spend it, it's a problem waiting to happen down the line.
Granted, 20 MPH is pretty good, better than most vehicles, so the One Third for operating expenses is actually lower, and thus the One Third to you is higher. But the One Third to the truck still has to go to the truck and it should be set aside and not touched until the truck needs it.
The Rule of Thirds apply to every vehicle in trucking, be it a cargo van, Sprinter, straight truck or a big truck. Adjustments are made to the percentages based on rate of pay, individual vehicles, how maintenance is performed, and on how well you can minimize operating and maintenance expenses. But it is a rule that gives you a good basis with which to make decisions, and as a tool to help you identify where your money is going but shouldn't be.

Below, left-to-right, are:
1. A pez dispenser in the shape of a character from Ratatouille. Chris Roberson thinks it's an oracle. You ask it a question, and its head tilts back to reveal an answer comes from its neck. The answer will be yes, no, or pez. So you have to formulate the question really carefully.
2. Chris Roberson thinks this neti pot may play a role in fertility rituals. Steve Wilson thinks it extracts something from your brain through your nose.
3. A metallic squirrel that cracks nuts with its tail. Someone in the audience thinks this is a robotic squirrel designed to teach aliens not to molest the local wildlife.
4. Munchkin game pieces. C. J. Mills thinks they are lumberjacks that you rehydrate when you come to the forest. A woman from the audience says they are snacks for a gnome-eating alien.
5. This ethernet hub... You'll just have to click on the image to find out what Chris Roberson thought it was. Beware of a gross-out factor. :-)
6. A cell phone with an cute / evil face on it. It is unanimously decided that this phone isn't really evil, it's just charmingly possessed. It loses your messages, and texts your boyfriend at inappropriate times. C. J. Mills thinks it's a psychic phone that lets you know exactly when opportunity is.
7. C. J. Mills and Steve Wilson hold a cable reel, which, as someone suggested, might be a prayer box for an orthodox giant.

Insight into the U.S. Economy and Increasing Inequality
4 comments:
- AnonymousJuly 3, 2012 at 12:16 PM
The notion that people's socioeconomic condition at birth determines their position in life is almost common knowledge. But in the United States, people believed that this rule could be overcome and they would live the "American dream". Professor Stiglitz shows that this may no longer be true and that inequality is growing at an alarming rate in the U.S. Yet, the link between this inequality and the fact that corporations outsource much of their production of goods and services to poor countries, as Richard Wolff proposes, is not clear. Many researchers state that outsourcing does not cause massive job losses and that the risk of it dramatically reducing job growth has been greatly exaggerated.ReplyDelete
Labour displacement is a not a new discussion. It happens every time there is an introduction of new machinery, improved technology or foreign cheap labour. As such, outsourcing has its defenders and opponents and both sides can present evidence in their favour. But before taking sides or charging the outsourcing practice – which is not likely to be eliminated – with the responsibility for American inequality, one should bear in mind that in a dynamic economy jobs are lost and created and workers are displaced and reemployed continuously. What needs to be done by national governments is observe such developments and avoid insecurity in the labour market via investments in education, retraining of displaced workers and implementation of policies that will reduce inequality and promote social change.

RE: LuzimarDelete
More people are enrolled in universities and colleges than ever before. Student debt is skyrocketing. Education has never cost more, but has never been worth less. So I am reluctant to believe that your prescription for education will be effective. And forget those statistics that say that educated workers have a lower unemployment rate. Those stats include lots of people who graduated in the 60s and 70s, when jobs were more plentiful and stable. Instead, look at the dismal stats for people who have graduated within the last 20 years.
We are in a race to the bottom, and throwing money at education is an off-target strategy.

Multi-GeV gamma-ray in GRBs
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the brightest explosive phenomena in the universe, the study of which has been one of the most interesting fields in astrophysics. GRBs, likely associated with the births of stellar-size black holes or rapidly spinning, highly magnetized neutron stars, have been observed from all electromagnetic wavelengths and considered as potential emission sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, high-energy neutrinos and gravitational waves. Currently, fireball model, the most popular model of GRBs, assuming that a large amount of energy is released in a small space leading to production of gamma-rays, has gained, to a certain extent, a support regarding some aspects of GRBs. However, many features of GRBs still
remain a mystery, including the nature of the central engine, the composition of the GRB outflow, the jet configuration and composition, the properties of GRB environments, etc. In addition to these, High-energy gamma-rays in GRBs, often called as GeV photons, can be detected during both the prompt and afterglow stages of this phenomenon by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi satellite, and they are still not clear either. Several mechanisms have been proposed to predict the origin of GeV photons along with the GRB prompt and afterglow phases, but it is still difficult to distinguish which one is more correct. Therefore the studies of GeV photons in GRBs contain unique information which would help us to understand the dynamics and radiative processes of GRBs, as well as derive an important information about the radiation fields in the intergalactic medium.

As I mentioned a couple days ago, if newly elected Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown gets elected president, it will be the first time in American history that a "first daughter" (Ayla Brown) has been a top 16 American Idol contestant!
But now… IT GETS EVEN MORE INTRIGUING!
According to the Washington Post, Brown's wife (Gail Huff) once starred in a hilarious, early '80s Digney Fignus video called "The Girl With the Curious Hand."
After he got a Boston College law degree, [Brown] married Gail Huff, an actress who was known in Boston as the bikini-clad woman in an early-'80s Digney Fignus music video, "The Girl With the Curious Hand." In the video, Huff's curious hand poisons a drink and squirts suntan lotion in the air. ("It means different things to different people," Fignus said in an interview.)
Watch the video, and around the 1:00 mark, decide what her "squirting" means to you.
GUYS! This could be our next First Lady! HIGH FIVE!!

Midwest Fashion Week – October 18-20, 2012
Midwest Fashion Week (MFW) celebrates its sixth year and is based in Indianapolis, IN.
Midwest Fashion Week (MFW) is dedicated to empowering the creative efforts of the clothing design community through events that connect people to take positive action for the common good while discovering new ways to express individuality through fashion. MFW is based in Indianapolis, IN and was founded by fashion designer, Berny Martin (Catou Designs). Since 2006, MFW consistently provides local, national and international designers a platform to showcase their work while fulfilling its mission to make high fashion attainable.
Through the years, MFW has expanded past the traditional Fall and Spring series of shows. Smaller, private events take place throughout the year. These include: affordable fashion seminars, trunk shows featuring local designers and fashion shows. MFW is dedicated to showcasing the creative efforts of the clothing design community. In so doing, MFW connects the dots between high and affordable fashion, which enables people to discover new ways to express their individuality through fashion.
The vision of Midwest Fashion Week is to create an entire lifestyle of upscale sophistication that lives on throughout the year rather than just a few weeks of the year. The idea is to help Midwestern residents see that fashion is more than just clothes—it is everywhere and affects everyone. The art of fashion is present in theater, food, sports, music, fine arts, and more.
October 18-20, 2012, are the dates for this fall's runway show. Ticket sales are available at www.MidwestFashionWeek.com / firstname.lastname@example.com

MacArthur back on schedule; JFK's not
As New York City airports struggled to return to normalcy Wednesday morning, Long Island MacArthur Airport was back on schedule with minor flight delays.
"Everything seems to be on time," said Catherine Green, a spokeswoman for MacArthur. "Things are looking very good today ... The sun is out and it's smooth sailing."
Green said some flights arriving and departing from MacArthur were delayed five to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, more than 3,000 passengers remained stranded at Kennedy Airport as people continued to try to rebook canceled flights, said Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman.
The situation at LaGuardia was much better. Coleman said about 225 people remain stranded there.
Officials are hoping to have both airports back to normal between Wednesday and Thursday, Coleman said.
By Wednesday morning, Kennedy officials expected to have two of four runways open, while LaGuardia should have each of its two runways open, Coleman said.
He added that the runway openings "will greatly improve the ability to get planes in and out today."
By 9 a.m., LaGuardia reported 25 flight cancellations. Coleman said that number is nearing normal for the airport.
In the meantime, he said cots continue to line the walls of Kennedy Airport and food vouchers are being doled out to stranded passengers.
To help cut down on airport congestion, Coleman said people should call carriers to check the status of their flights before coming to the airport.
"You don't want to add to the problem," he said.
In the aftermath of Tuesday's airport situation - specifically that short staffing and communication lapses at JFK were being blamed for lengthy delays endured on several international flights - Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security asked what part staffing of security personnel played in lengthy passenger delays.
Two Cathay Pacific flights spent 10 and eight hours, respectively, on the tarmac Tuesday at JFK, while an earlier British Airways flight waited eight hours before its passengers disembarked.
U.S. airlines operating domestic flights are not allowed to keep passengers waiting on the tarmac for more than three hours, but international flights and foreign airlines are exempt from the rule.
"One of the most troubling reports ... is that insufficient Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staffing may have contributed to the situation," King wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
King asked for a full report on the allegations of understaffing and also requested an overview of standard operating procedures for CBP operations at international airports in the United States during extreme weather conditions.
King called the extensive passenger delays unacceptable and asked that the department respond by Jan. 5.

Months before an exhibition opens, preparators are hard at work creating scientifically accurate models and dioramas in the American Museum of Natural History's Exhibition Studio. Take a look at some of the work that goes on behind the scenes.
To create a remote Colombian forest for The Power of Poison, which opens on November 16, Museum preparators began by crafting thousands of leaves.
Below, volunteer Marty Paige and preparator Andrea Raphael trim leaves.
Artist Stephen Quinn drafts murals that will appear in the exhibition.
Senior Principal Preparator Karl Matsuda works on a model of an eyelash pit viper, Bothriechis schlegelii, a venomous snake that tracks a variety of small animals, including frogs, lizards, bats, and rodents, using the heat-sensing pits between its nostrils and eyes. Its venom is a mix of nerve poisons, muscle-destroying poison called myotoxins, and blood poisons, or hemotoxins. Bites from this species are rarely fatal to people−but, like most snakes, the eyelash viper is best treated with respect.
Senior Principal Preparator Jason Brougham works on a model of a Great-tailed Grackle, Quiscalus mexicanus, that shows the bird "anting"—that is, wiping its feathers with ants.
Senior Principal Preparator Rebecca Meah works on a pair of howler monkey heads for The Power of Poison. Nearly all animals eat plants, and those plants very often contain toxins that range from bitter-tasting substances called tannins that interfere with digestive enzymes to poisons that can cause illness, even death. That's why many plant-eaters, including howler monkeys, have come up with surprising ways to break up plants' chemical defenses.
Howler monkeys, seen here in the exhibition gallery, eat a leafy diet full of plant toxins. They also eat clay from termite mounds, perhaps to eliminate those toxins. Minerals found in certain clays bind to toxins and carry them out of animals' systems. One standard treatment for food poisoning in pets is to administer kaolin, a special type of clay, to coat the stomach lining.
The exhibition team installs finished plants in the gallery in preparation for the opening on November 16. Land plants, which have been around for about 450 million years, have evolved an amazing array of chemical defenses. In fact, there are 100,000 or more chemical compounds involved in plant defense.

The scent of salt and coconut, the sensation of a gentle breeze on the skin and the sight of glistening water and swaying palms all within your reach - what a feast for the senses.
You and your loved one can experience it all when you head to Fiji - without the kids, of course! Sometimes a holiday is best enjoyed in total relaxation mode and the island paradise of Fiji offers plenty of ways for you to wind-down as a pair. After all, it doesn't get much more romantic than the sunny days, balmy nights and luxurious touch of these islands.
Head to a luxury resort, where you might find you're the only ones strolling the private beach at sunset. Why not pack a picnic of tropical fruits - and cocktails - and make a night of it?
Plunge into the temperate waters without having to think about supervising your little ones and enjoy indulging in your carefree and playful sides without them around!
There are options for all sorts of budgets, but treat yourself as much as you can afford, as it's not often you get the chance. It'll all be worth it when you lay your head down on those plush pillows and Egyptian cotton sheets at the end of the day, and are awoken to a sumptuous buffet of tasty breakfast foods.
If you're looking for an extra helping of seclusion, head somewhere like Likuliku or Royal Davui, known for its serenity and solitude, not to mention luxury treatment.
You'll leave Fiji feeling truly refreshed and reconnected - so why wait any longer? If you need help planning your ultimate escape, we'd be delighted to help.

The tissues are also fully bio-degradable so have no environmental impact when thrown away after use.

Cascades' products are transported to Europe by ship (which has a far lower environmental-impact than transport by road or air) and 100%eco takes great care to ensure that every product claim is totally honest.


text: I've searched the forum and done some Googling, no avail. A couple of months ago my father gave me his old Wingmaster and told me it doesn't even have a box of shells thru it. It has some wear on the blueing but is still a beautiful gun. The problem is the stock is cracked about a full 2". The serial number is V18xxxxV. Questions; 1) in your opinion is it okay to shoot? 2) I've been thinking about replacing the stock but can't find any replacements except plastic, know where to find some? 3) I've thought about replacing the cracked stock with wood, adding an 18" barrell, and extended mag to make it my HD gun. But thinking by the time I do all of that I could have an Express and have a back-up. But I really like the looks of the wingmaster so much more. Opinions? Thanks guys.

Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart Trailer (2006)
"The great American Indian Lakota Sioux Chief, spiritual leader and warrior as never before seen in a film." 01 November 2006 History, Factual 83 mins
Award-winning documentary, Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart, makes extensive use of Sitting Bull's own words, giving the viewer an intimate portrait of one of America's legendary figures in all his complexities as a leader of the great Sioux Nation: warrior, spiritual leader and skilled diplomat. Sitting Bull's words, as portrayed by Adam Fortunate Eagle, dominate this story. Augmented by a narrator's historical perspective, over six-hundred historical photographs and images, and a compelling original music score, the film brings to life the little-known human side of Sitting Bull as well as the story of a great man's struggle to maintain his people's way of life against an ever-expanding westward movement of white settlers. It is a powerful cinematic journey into the life and spirit of a legendary figure of whom people have often heard but don't really know.

In a perfect world, all issues as between a purchaser and a vendor of a business (whether assets or shares) are settled at the time of closing. Unfortunately, this is not how the real world operates, notwithstanding the level of due diligence conducted by a purchaser and its professional advisors. To protect against go-forward liability, vendors, who covet keeping as much purchase price as possible, build protections into their acquisition agreement to limit their potential liability. These protections range from incorporating knowledge and materiality qualifiers into their agreement, making representations on a several (versus joint and several) basis, limiting the survival period of their warranties and so on. This blog post discusses two additional limitation of liability concepts that are popular among vendors of a business and their professional advisors: indemnification baskets and liability caps.
Indemnification baskets
One very common limitation on liability is known as an indemnification basket. In this case, a vendor is not liable to indemnify the purchaser until the aggregate amount of losses suffered by the purchaser exceeds a certain dollar threshold. The purpose of such a provision is to avoid vendor liability for claims considered to be minor in nature relative to the size of the transaction. However, once the threshold is met, depending on the clause, the vendor may only be liable for the amount of the loss in excess of the threshold (known as a deductible basket) or may be liable for the entire amount of the loss (known as a first dollar basket).
According to the 2014 Canadian Private Target Mergers and Acquisitions Deal Points Study (2014 ABA Study), which was published last year by the American Bar Association with the help of two partners in the Toronto office of Norton Rose Fulbright, 50% of relevant transactions included a first dollar basket, 36% included a deductible basket, 6% included a combination of the two and 8% included no indemnification basket. With respect to the amount of the threshold as a percentage of transaction value, in 42% of the relevant transactions the threshold was 0.5% or less and in 30% of the relevant transactions the threshold was between 0.5% and 1%.
Liability caps
Another common limitation on liability is a cap which acts as a ceiling on the vendor's liability for losses suffered by the purchaser. Where an acquisition agreement contains a cap, a vendor will only be liable for losses up to a certain dollar amount. For example, if a cap is set at $10 million, the vendor will only be liable to indemnify the purchaser for up to $10 million, even if the losses suffered are much greater (subject to the exceptions noted below). According to the 2014 ABA Study, 60% of the relevant transactions included a general cap which was less than the purchase price, 19% included a cap which was equal to the purchase price, 11% included a cap which was not determinable and 10% did not include a cap.
Both indemnification baskets and caps often carve-out certain types of losses from their application. For example, according to the 2014 ABA Study, the most common carve-outs from the indemnification limitations related to losses in respect of fraud (included in 48% of relevant transactions), due authority (32%), due organization (30%) and taxes (30%). Likewise, the most common carve-outs for caps related to losses in respect of fraud (77%), taxes (24%), due authority (24%), due organization (22%), title to/sufficiency of assets (22%) and intentional breach of sellers representations (22%).

Kelly Osbourne Winehouse
July 26, 2011 by Post Team
Kelly Osbourne Winehouse, A convoy of vehicles, many with tinted windows stopped Edgwarebury Cemetery in north London before a private service. Kelly Osbourne, who wore her hair in what looked like brand Winehouse style beehive, was one of the famous faces invited to attend the ceremony. Dressed in black with a pair of dark glasses, she held a white rose in her hands when her car stopped in front of the cemetery of green leaf.
A pack of photographers, more accustomed to catching the notorious Winehouse appearances on stage and in court, lined the streets as mourners arrived. They were standing next to some dedicated fans who came to pay tribute to the 27-year-old, who was found dead at her home in Camden, north London, on Saturday. The service comes after police revealed they would have to wait four weeks for the results of toxicology tests to establish the cause of her death. A post-mortem examination conducted yesterday was inconclusive.
Producer and DJ Mark Ronson, wearing a crisp black suit, walked through the doors unaccompanied as the mourners arrived at the latest offering from the star of a final goodbye.
Estimates suggest around 200 people expected to attend the funeral.
A rabbi is leading the service, due to last approximately 45 minutes.
Yesterday, the grieving parents of Winehouse made an emotional visit to her former home in Camden, north London, where he was found dead on Saturday.
Fans today again expressed her shock.
Vicky Robinson, 36, of Harrow, said: "It's very, very sad.
"It's one of those wastes."
Jade Burgess, 22, boyfriend lives locally, said: "Actually I was thinking about seeing her in concert, but never – it really is sad."
There was a heavy security presence outside the cemetery as guests made their way inside.
Partners Winehouse's band, and Heshima Zalon Thompson, were among the select group included in the private ceremony, according to Jewish law, had to take place as soon as possible after the death of the star.
An investigation has been opened and adjourned until October 26, but no cause of death has been given.
The results of toxicology tests are expected in two to four weeks.
Yesterday, Winehouse's father Mitch said: "Amy was one thing and that was the love of her life was devoted to her family and friends and for you too.
"We are devastated and I'm speechless, but thank you for coming."
Her boyfriend, film director Reg Traviss, also paid tribute to the singer as he lamented her "untimely" death.
Winehouse faced problems of alcohol and drugs throughout her career and the news of her death was soon followed by suggestions that it might be related to one or the other.
The artist with problems had canceled all appointments and dates of her concerts last month after a series of erratic public appearances. She was booed at a concert in Serbia chaotic.
Winehouse's goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield, paid tribute to her today.
Writing on Twitter, singer 15-year-old said: "I feel out of my soul has gone with the beautiful bird song…. Amy Please Say a Pray … He loved everyone.x."
Adele Singer Winehouse said "paved the way for artists like me."
In a statement on its website, said: "I do not think I ever realized how brilliant he was and how important it is, but that makes it even more charming, though very sad im going im Amy also recalled. How immensely proud of her I am. And grateful to be inspired by it. Amy xx flies in paradise. "

ihv: Weird, CCD for aerials? Aren't shutter speeds more critical i.e. higher ISOs are more desired? CCD goes barely ISO400-800.
If I were to take aerial, i would choose the brightest day possible with sun at the highest which produce less shadow.
Aiming at iso 100 if possible to get 1/1000. At such distance aperture is not worrying coz you focus at infinity anyway.
So iso 800 is plenty imho.
Fake (I consider my self have a doubt about the photo and the technology at that time) or not, this very image create hope and imagination for our children. sending a message that YES WE CAN DO IT, WHY NOT.
That message probably what makes todays invention come to real, who could have known.
who could imagine that you can talk to your hand (while you are walking) and let someone thousands miles away listening to what you have to say.
Brain is such a powerful organs, it need stimulation from the user, and this image might somehow be that stimulant

We all have come on this earth to have experiences. So what most of us probably will do most of the time is learning by experiencing. We need to have experiences because if someone explains something to us (for example parent, teacher or boss) chances are you still have to understand it yourself. Nobody can understand something for you. You have to do that all by yourself. And if we keep educating our people so they will have no misunderstanding, they also would have no experience. If there was no experience then everything would be fully predictable. And in a predictable system there is no free will. So there are certainly drawbacks in reusing what you have been thought and accepting that blindfoldedly.
So now we come to the re-use part. We are being thought at home, at school, at work to re-use. Because others have already invented things. So there is no need to re-invent it. And that's where things sometimes can go wrong. Because this re-use syndrome is all around society, it tends to copy things we know from the past (which might be a good thing). But it might also prevent us from thinking in radical renewal or fresh new ideas, which I think humanity is in desperate need for at this time in history. Therefore I vote for a renewal strategy where we stop looking back at the past most of the time, and start looking more to the future. And have no fear for radical renewals if they help humanity a step forwards.

The coming of Christianity to the state of Kievan Rus' at the end of the tenth century had an enormous impact on the development of Russian civilization. Despite the abandonment of the pagan gods, both Christian and pagan practices and beliefs continued to coexist for centuries, producing a system known as "dual faith."
Russian Myths deals with mythic beliefs, notions, and customs--concerning the veneration of earth, water, fire, and air, demons and spirit-beings in the world of nature, the cult of the dead, and witchcraft--many of which have their roots in the pre-Christian past but still survive to the present day. To illuminate the evolution of major themes and motifs and set Russian myths in the context of mythology the world over, Elizabeth Warner draws upon a rich variety of sources, including anecdotal narrative forms and religious legends, epic songs, funeral laments and folk religion, and, of course, the folktales where the sacred gives way to pure imagination in the depiction of mythic themes and characters.
In this new addition to "The Legendary Past" series, Warner (Russian, emerita, Univ. of Durham), an authority on Russian folklore and ethnography, gives an overiew of the customs and themes underlying Russian beliefs. While the advent of Christianity at the end of the tenth century profoundly affected the development of the culture, pagan beliefs have continued to coexist with the new religion to the present day, resulting in a "dual faith." Drawing upon a variety of sources (e.g., epic songs, funeral laments, religious legends), Warner expertly discusses the most significant themes of this faith the cult of the dead, animism in nature, and magic to shed light on the development of major themes in Russian mythology. There is no formal bibliography, though a "Suggestions for Further Reading" section is included, as is an index and a selection of works in Russian used in preparation. A glossary would have been beneficial, as the author uses a variety of Russian folkloric terms, each defined once and briefly within the text. Nonetheless, this basic introduction to the subject provides information invaluable to understanding the primary sources; recommended for folklore collections in all libraries. [Other titles in the series include Aztec and Maya Myths, Celtic Myths, Chinese Myths, Egyptian Myths, and many more.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an application that showed all parking spots within a certain radius? It could direct me to a nearest free spot as I wind my way through downtown, looking for parking. But maybe such an app for iPhone already exists? I don't have an iPhone (and now that I've been laid off I don't anticipate buying one soon), so I don't know.
I expected Beta Summit to be the most interesting Innotech panel, and it was. It featured 6 or 7 Austin startups. The first one, BuzzStream, did not impress me all that much, perhaps because I came to the talk late. The only impression I got from it was that it did some kind of fancy contact management, integrating your contacts with social management sites. Or perhaps it was yet another social media aggregator, the kind that gathers all the content your friends have posted on various other sites, into one news feed. We all have seen social media applications that claimed to be the aggregator to end all aggregators, and then a few months later no one remembers them. Plurk comes to mind.
The next presenter was Gendai Games. Their product lets you create an iPhone game in minutes, even if you are not a programmer. As a demo, Nestor Hernandez recreated the game Labyrinth in front of the audience. He did that he dragged widgets, such as Accelerate and Collide, on the screen. Those widgets made a ball accelerate when iPhone is tilted, or bounce off the "walls", i.e. the sides of the screen. Pretty neat.

|Tristan Slominski speaking on Operational Transformation: The Key to Understanding Google Wave
One web application everybody could relate to was Gelato, a dating site that works differently than most dating sites. On an ordinary dating site members have static profiles that are often misleading or uninformative. People often post younger and thinner pictures of themselves. Steve Odom, the founder of Gelato, believes that people's social media data streams reveals much more about them than their self-proclaimed love of "long walks on the beach and candlelight dinners". Their Tweets, Flickr photos, YouTube videos or Netflix queues, or soundtracks on internet radio stations they listen to, reflect a much fuller, dynamic picture of their tastes and their preferred ways to spend time. So Gelato aggregates all that into a user's profile. Is that a bit too stalkerish? Users can opt out of whichever feeds they prefer others not to see.
As a demo, Steve Odom pulled up a woman's profile on Gelato. "Would I want to date her?" he asked the audience. Her Twitter word cloud (another neat feature of Gelato) showed that her most commonly used word was LOL. "Hmm, maybe not," Odom concluded.
Another web application of broad appeal was PetMD. It's analogous to medical information sites, only about pet health. It also helps you find a veterinarian, even an emergency vet if need be.
There may have been other startups, but I left early.
This conference was a mix of technical and soft presentations. It's always hard to know which ones to choose; an appealing tile can be misleading. So there was some kind of "work/life balance for entrepreneurs" panel, where a self-proclaimed work/life balance coach did nothing but slung cliches about success like "you are your own worst enemy"; I spent half an hour before concluding it was BS. But by then I missed the first half of "Operational Transformation: The Key to Understanding Google Wave" presentation by Tristan Slominski. When I came in, he and the audience were up to their eyeballs in the APIs. Operational Transformation is kind of like a platform on which Google Wave is written. Knowing its API, you can write your own clients that will be able to communicate with other Operational Transform clients. For example, Slominski says, those could be plug-ins for IDEs (i.e. development environments -- tools in which programmers write, compile, build and test their code.
And here are some pictures and comments from Innotech 2010 Beta Summit -- another year, another batch of startups.

The KamKam 'Dressed Up' series is an adorably animated furniture collection that is quite unusual. The Korean based design company decided to blend a clothing concept into their furnishings, which is a fresh new idea. The difference between these furnishings and regular one's is that instead of simply pulling a handle to open the drawers, you literally have to un-button it like clothing.
These quirky pieces come in fun colors, and would be ideal for children's bedrooms. Interior design firms that can push the limits and create distinctive products, are sure to leave a mark in their industry. High-end consumers that crave one-of-a-kind pieces, are willing to pay a hefty price tag, if it means that they can get their hands on distinctive offerings that rarely anyone has. It is definitely an attractive niche to cater to.

Crude, unpolished, but incredibly useful Note: to pair with my dbpower ex5000, I had to both disconnect my home wifi AND turn off mobile data. The interface is nice(ish), and the image looks great on my OP3 screen. Could be slicker, more reliable and easier to pair but makes the camera worth it for what I plan on doing with it (hopefully going up a sail mast). Just remember all data is your enemy.
How can I share them after they are saved on final Cam. I see no way to do that. I can't even figure out how to change the name of the file so you know what video your watching. I have a Droid and my wifi works good and files transfer fine but a little slow. Help me with sharing and changing ile names and I will rate this app good.
Why ...... So you first get the camera... has a slot to hold a memory card. That's great easy to transfer... NO. has to have a card in to take photos .. but you can't transfer the photos ?? Am I missing something.. take memory card out photos not on there .. put back in camera and can see them .. download App and still can't transfer them but can see what camera see on phone what's point in that ... use your phone .. any help please got some great photos but can't see them unless on camera.
Not Easy Works if you jump through all the hoops. Fights with home WiFi and cellular data connections. On my new Moto G 4 Plus. Didn't have these problems on my old Galaxy S4. Turning off cellular data let me connect, after I tried 4 different apps. Would never have figured it out if there wasn't a review here telling of the solution.
Buggy. Remote function works though. Had many crashes. Goes in landscape mode after connecting to my git2 action cam which is annoying. Nobody wants to use remote in landscape mode. Automatic download to phone after shot is a pain in the ass. What if i want to make another shot? It will take a few seconds because of that autodownload to phone. Please just simplify the UI for easy use. That is all we need.
Good enough For the people complaining about not being able to share or save the files, go to My Files > Device Storage > vcamera.dod you can see all the videos and pictures and then use the built in Android sharing features. My only complaint is that some of the icons in the app have no description of what they do when checked or unchecked.

text: Several weeks ago I was using the default mail client and my (free) Yahoo account just randomly disappeared one day. I decided to download K-9 mail and give it a try. Setup was easy and it worked like a charm. No deleted emails coming back, no multiple messages in my sent folder, everything just worked. That was until a couple days ago. I noticed that I hadn't been getting any email notifications on my Droid through K-9. I opened the app and the last email showing up was from 2/6/2010. I did the refresh and nothing happened. I held down the power button and choose "Power Off". I turned it back on. I went to K-9 did a refresh, it said it was checking my Yahoo account but it didn't retreive any new emails. When I log onto Yahoo online I have new emails (both read and unread) but none of them are being retrieved by K-9. What is going on????? Jeremy

Samsung Creates a New Function to Compete With Apple's Pinch-to-Zoom Patent
Los Angeles – A recent patent filed by Samsung looks to get around Apple's patented pinch-to-zoom technology, which has been a source of major contention between the two tech powerhouses for years. The issue goes back to before Apple was famously awarded $1 billion in patent infringement damages in 2012. Though that award was eventually reduced to hundreds of millions, one of the major hot buttons in the litigation surrounded the pinch-to-zoom technology. The presiding judge found that Samsung had infringed Apple's pinch-to-zoom patent, dubbed the ' 915 patent, in over 20 of its devices.

Looking for Evidence
of Highly Effective Teaching and Learning
Take 5 minutes to read and reflect on the handout.
Differentiated instruction also is things like how you group students and the kinds of questions you ask to facilitate their learning.Key points from video
We're crystal clear on the targets we're teaching to.
Quality instruction is asking the right questions at the right time.
We are under constant gentle pressure relentlessly applied to keep pushing people forward to student engagement.
Rigor is challenging students where ever they're at.
Students are truly engaged. They can tell you haw and what they are learning.
There are real conversations between the teacher and the students.
Rigor is not being able to find an answer right away, but being able to put together an answer from what ever they're working with.
Students have to learn to trust each other.
How did the Boomerang activity engage students and teachers in some of the key points of the instructional core?
Recall that this was a problem solving FAL.
The feedback loop provided local districts and steering committee members the opportunity
to inform the work at each stage of the process.
Which teacher a student happens to get within a school matters more than which school the student happens to attend.

If you have a PC running Win 8, sadly I have, you already have what is probably the worst OS to come along since ME.
The pro pack is MS's lame attempt to try and convince the public that they haven't bombed again. I wouldn't give them a dime for any upgrade to 8 unless it reverted it to something like XP or 7 and completely removed all traces of 8.
Even more sadly getting rid of 8 and installing a functional OS seems to be impossible. I tried replacing the hard drive and loading Win 7 Ul but the BIOS & hardware won't accept 7.
