"Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic."
Well there will be plenty of well protected flat surfaces on display all over town this week when the 37th Kilkenny Arts Festival takes centre stage. I'll get the plug out of the way early and announce that Phyl Cleere will be exhibiting down in Cleeres and will be worth a stop on the art trail that stretches right around town. It's always a great excuse to take a wander around the various venues on an afternoon, stopping off for a coffee or even the odd pint/glass of wine, while admiring the exhibits.
There's usually a bit of rivalry between the professional painters and the amateurs during the Arts Festival. What is the difference between the professional and amateur? Maybe this definition explains it: "An amateur is someone who supports himself with outside jobs which enable him to paint. A professional is someone whose wife works to enable him to paint."
I took some Paul Durcan books down off the shelf at the weekend. Paul did several readings in Cleeres back in the nineties and I was surprised that the first one was as far back as March 1991.
All the books are signed and each has a little message.
He writes on 'Daddy, Daddy' in 1991: "In reality, fiction is all that matters" and "Up heavy metal."
Paul was back again in December 1991 with 'Crazy About Women' and this time the question posed is: "What is it that a donkey sees in a man?"
On May Day 1993 he read from 'The Selected Paul Durcan'. Just one short quote this time: "Ah he was a grand man."
The final signed book in the collection, 'Give Me Your Hand', dates back to March 1994 and the comment this time is: "Sitting still and being calm and seeing."
Paul is back in the larger surroundings of The Watergate Theatre on Saturday afternoon and is sure to have something relevant to say on the current state of the nation. He is guaranteed to entertain even the most sceptical poetry fan and to get your Saturday off to a good start.
After that it's a short walk up to St Canices to hear Robert Fisk. This man has covered conflicts from Belfast to Baghdad and now he braves another of the world's great battle zones: Kilkenny on a Saturday night.
Events in Croke Park are likely to be the focus of attention on Sunday. A Kilkenny win is on the cards. I'm so sure of it, that, if they lose I'll eat my black and amber hat or better still, go to "Forty Years Of Feminism" in The Parade Tower with Nell McCafferty and the gang on Thursday evening.
My musical spies tell me that 'Konono No 1' from the Congo is a not-to-be-missed experience, especially if you like to dance. I'll take a seat upstairs in The Set for this one, but I may even tap my feet to the rhythms.
Another show that catches my attention is 'A Western' in Kytelers Inn on Wednesday and Thursday. This show claims to "reclaim the Western and celebrate the failure of generic heroes, cheap whores and the all-American idol." Sounds like there's something for everyone in this show and there's audience participation as well. So, if you've ever felt like playing a generic hero, a cheap whore or an all-American hero, this is your big chance.
Those four shows cost a total of €65.00. This is about the same as the price of a ticket to the Man United versus a League of Ireland selection this week and you don't even have to travel very far.
I'll probably add a couple of other shows during the week, but, for less than €100 a great ten days can be had.
The black arts
"Fianna Fail in government realises that there are no free meal tickets in life." Who said that? Step forward Ivor Callely.
He made this statement in 1999 and has spent the following ten years proving that life's full of free meal tickets, false expense claims and enough mileage allowances to take you on a round the world trip – until you get caught.
I came across the quote using a new toy I found on the internet called 'Wayback Machine.' The site contains 56 billion captures from over 10 billion web pages from as far back as 1996. All those false promises and statements are out there in cyberspace ready to be discovered through sites like Wayback Machine and thrown back at the canvassers during the next election.
Maybe it would have been better for Callely and the rest of them to take the advice in the title of a Seamus Heaney poem: "Whatever you say, say nothing."

Nanotechnology: Small step forward
University of Georgia professors William Kisaalita, Guigen Zhang and Yiping Zhao, from left, are thinking small in a laboratory at the Driftmier Engineering Center - small as in billionth of a meter. The trio is using nanotechnology to develop tiny sensors that could be helpful in treating diseases such as diabetes.

A simple mission management and spawning system for Unity.
The provided Demo project provides an easy way to see the system in action.
Important classes
MissionManager object
Required as an object in the scene
Overall manager for missions.
Fields available in the Inspector
- Start Mission Delay - float in seconds
- This will delay the start of any mission before it is activated. This can be used to let the user see what missions are coming up.
- Remove Finished Mission Delay - float in seconds
- This will delay the removal of any finished missions from the current mission list. This can be used to let the user see the result of missions.
- Spawn Time - float in seconds
- Determines how often the Mission Manager will attempt to spawn new missions. If the allowDuplicateMissions flag is set to false, or the maximumActiveMissions is set to a low number, missions may not always be spawned at this time
- Maximum Active Missions - int
- Restricts how many missions can be active at one time
- Allow Duplicate Missions
- Determines if two missions of the same type can be active at once
- Run Missions On Start - bool
- If set to true, the Mission Manager will begin processing missions when Unity calls the Start() function
Fields hidden from the Inspector
- If set to true, the Mission Manager will begin processing missions when Unity calls the Start() function
- Run Missions - bool
- When set to true the Mission Manager will process missions in the Update() loop. Setting Run Missions On Start will cause this to be automatically set to true, otherwise the variable must be set an appropriate time by an external script.
- Score Listener - IScoreListener
- A reference to an object that implements the IScoreListener interface. This will be passed to any newly created missions to allow missions to add scores when completed. Must be set by an external script, preferably in Awake() to ensure any startup missions created are correctly configured.
Required as an object in the scene
Manages the propagation of game events to objects registered as Event Listeners. MissionManager will automatically detect this object and add it to any newly created missions.
To use this, classes that create events should have a reference to this class and then use EventManager.LogEvent(string[]) to register an event.
LogEvent(string[]) takes an array of strings so that one action can trigger many events. For example, double jumping in a platformer could trigger a "jump" event and also a "double jump" event.
Contains a set of conditions that must be met.
The base class could have been more abstracted, but I made the decision to create it based around timed Verb + Noun based missions (i.e. Jump 10 times).
Creating verb + noun missions is very easy, as can be seen in the demo files included.
There is also a demo class included to demonstrate a negative mission, in this case "Don't jump for the next 3 seconds". This overrides some of the functions in order to do this.
All of the important settings and functions can be seen by reading through the 3 example missions provided.
Less important classes
Initiates MissionManager with a list of Missions that will be created randomly during play.
Can optionally call MissionManager.CreateStartupMissions(int amount, bool inOrder) to create the initial set of missions. When inOrder is set to true the startup missions will be created in the order they were added to the MissionManager.
An example class is included in the source, but this has does not need to be a standalone script, however it may be useful to keep it separated in this fashion.
Purely a convenience class. Attach to a UnityEngine.UI.Text object and it will display the mission descriptions as obtained from MissionManager.
Example usage
or, how the demo project was created
- Create a MissionManager object and add the associated script
- Create an EventManager object and add the associated script
- Create an object that will initialise the MissionManager with your Mission types (see MissionInitiator)
- Add references to the EventManager object to any objects you wish to log events. Edit or add scripts to call EventManager.LogEvent("eventName") when those events occur.
- Create missions based off the events logged
- Add these mission types to your Mission initiator class
- Create a UI Text object and add MissionManagerDisplay to it.
- In the Inspector, set the MissionManager to Run Missions On Start and ensure your Mission Initiator populates the Mission Manager on Start.
- Create a class that implements the IScoreListener interface. In this class find the MissionManager object and set MissionManager.scoreListener to your class.

What's that you hear? Is it the sound of the open road calling? It's the Long Road
It's time to quench that thirst for adventure by joining chopper jockeys from all ends of the earth. Americans, Canadians, Aussies & New Zealanders are among the riders who have previously made memories to last a lifetime during this 1000+ mile journey.
This year's route, designed by 3-time rider, Robert "Longroad" DeMichiel, begins Sunday June 11th.
We meet in the North-West corner of Arkansas near Eureka Springs at Kettle Campground. Over the next few days, we'll travel many scenic back roads as we venture to stops at:
- Van Buren Campground (Van Buren MO)
- Paris Landing KOA (Buchanan TN)
- Cherokee CampNCabins (Jamestown TN)
- Rider's Roost Motorcycle Campground (Ferguson NC)
All before ending up at our final destination, the legendary SMOKE OUT in Rockingham NC.
Once there, you can roam the grounds, checking out the many cool rides & events, or just relax. Enjoy a well-earned cold beverage & some food in the awesome Long Road Lounge, designed & built by our own Mike Allen & Terre Heroux.
As always, this ride is open to all riders, both men and women, on all makes and models of bikes from stock, to vintage, to all out choppers. You can travel solo, or join small groups, either way there is sense of camaraderie at every stop. Although there is no chase vehicle, we provide an optional route with friendly bike shops along the way in the event you require repairs (depending on time of day). And, for first time riders, if you complete all the stops, you will receive the highly coveted Long Road medallion. There are also plaques awarded for "Coolest Bike on The Ride," "5 Time Riders", and other various categories.
Campgrounds are set up to receive the majority of riders who want to camp (most also have a few cabins) while the closest motels are listed below for those who want to enjoy the ride, but would prefer the comfort of a motel room.
It is advised that those who want a cabin or motel room book these in advance! Prices quoted are based on what they were during planning and are subject to change.
All riders are responsible to pay for their own camping or motels and meals unless noted! As of this writing, we are in the process of organizing a FREE picnic style dinner for one of the campgrounds. We will keep registered riders informed of more details as the ride gets closer via e-mail.
Sign ins: Initial sign in will occur at Kettle Campground. An instruction sheet will be handed out at the start of the ride as to where other sign ins will occur as well as other activities & attractions along the way that are being worked out as of this posting.
Registration Fees:
Register by May 1st (post mark date) and receive a free commemorative ride t-shirt! A limited number of t-shirts will be available for $15 for those who sign up after May 1st.
If you want extra shirts for others not on the ride, please include $15 extra in your registration chq for each shirt and include size, male or female and spaghetti strap or tee for women. Late registrants will pay $15 for the ride shirt if they want it and we cannot guarantee any extras will be made. Also, we will not be mailing out any shirts for registrants who don't do the ride. Early registration helps in the planning of some meals.
Please note: An extra $5 has been added this year to help fund the Long Road Lounge at the end of the ride.
For past riders who have ridden the ride before and received their medallions, the fee is $35.
1st time riders pay a fee of $55 (the extra $20 going towards the medallion).
Send a cheque or money order in US funds (make sure it is cashable in Canada!) and payable to:
Brian "Uncle Ben" Sauer
180 Marksam Rd Unit #65
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Please include for each rider or passenger, the name, address, best phone number to contact, e-mail address and t-shirt size (as well as tee or spaghetti strap for women), whether you've completed The Long Road before, and whether you wish to camp(or cabin) or get a motel during the trip (helps for campground #s).
It is recommended, if camping, to reserve ahead of time as the campgrounds are only saving a certain number of spots for us!

Riders may choose any route they wish!

It's been quiet on the Death Wish remake front recently but sadly it is actually filming as we speak and Joe Carnahan (who wrote a version of the script for a reboot) has some choice words about the direction this new version is going in.
He recently spoke with Collider about the new movie:"It's being shot right now, they're off shooting a version of that script with Bruce Willis, I think in Montreal, maybe Chicago? I'm not sure. It's, you know, if you don't have something nice to say, you probably shouldn't say it. I got a glimpse of that script, that was reported to be kind of a re-engineering of my script, and I would be less than hospitable if I commented on that. And whatever, I think they're gonna get exactly what they want, and that wasn't what I was interested in doing, and bully to them for sticking their guns, and I'm content to stick to mine, and that script will live to fight another day. That's what I'm gonna look forward to, because it's so radically different from what I did that I'm confident I can rework that into something just as good as it is on the page. It's really a great script, man."
Could this make Bruce Willis display personality again? I doubt it but I'm still mildly intrigued by the project. I got a glimpse at Carnahan's script and it was quite different from the Bronson movie but Bruce Willis would have been totally miscast.
Carnahan still would like a chance to make his version stating "I think I'll wait a few years and explore that, because I believe that it's, in terms of that genre and revenge vigilante, I just thought it was so cool. And it's set in a completely different place. A big part of mine was where it was set, which is L.A. It wasn't cold weather, it wasn't a Chicago or New York film, it was an L.A. film, and it was much more of a Michael Mann kind of world, Collateral kind of world, than it was the original Bronson. And I think they're going back to something that hews more closely to that, which is fine, but I'll be interested to see what it does and what the reception is."

You've got to give credit where credit is due, and a hefty load of credit has to be given to Willie Green. This 17-year-old fashion editor from Raleigh is the brains behind the fastest-growing fashion Tumblr blog, WeTheUrban. Willie has done some pretty cool things in his life so far; from meeting Nicki Minaj to landing Zombie Boy Rick Genest on the cover of his 4th WeTheUrban magazine, this kid is ready to give Tavi Gevinson a run for her money and then some.
Luckily, Willie took a minute out of his busy schedule to chat with us about life, style and the angst that comes with living through a major fashion faux pas in front of your heroes.
What's a typical day like for you?
A typical day for me starts a 6:30 AM hitting the snooze button three or four times (I reallydespisemornings). After I muster up the strength to get out of bed, I get dressed and head to school. During the week, I'm literally on my laptop all afternoon until 12 AM posting, answering emails, making calls and working on new WeTheUrban endeavors. Creative people never stop creating!
What is it like being a fashion editor in North Carolina?
The fashion in Raleigh, NC obviously isn't really up to par, but I'm constantly getting invited to launches, sample sales, showrooms and the like in New York. I'm planning to move there in the fall of 2012 though, so I only have to withstand this torture for a few more months!
Can you tell us what is in the works for Issue #5?
I can't really reveal too much, but this next issue's cover is defintely going to be completely different from anything WeTheUrban Magazine has curated. Oh, and it's been confirmed that Solange Knowles will be gracing the cover this time around.
If you could own one item of clothing or accessory what would it be and why?
Anything andeverything Maison Martin Margiela because almost everything MMM for men is perfect. Same with Carlos Campos.
What is the craziest/funniest press release you've ever gotten?
Oh goodness, this one company (warning — NSFW!) sent me a press release about this vibrator that you can connect to your iPod, and it vibrates to the sound of the song you're playing. Like…what?!?
Speaking of songs, which one is most played on your iTunes?
"No Scrubs" — [I love] TLC and there's not an ounce of shame in my game!
Who's your style icon?
Let's be cliche! Gaga circa late 2011. Have you seen what this woman has been wearing recently?!? Perfection.
What is your favorite Tumblr blog to follow?
Surprisingly, I don't really have a go-to Tumblr blog, but I'm really intoGirl With Curves andThe Style Line and Bryant Eslava. Three of the most passionate people I've ever met.
Which piece in your wardrobe has the craziest story behind it?
This black DEVIE jacket with huge faux fur arms. I got it at NY Fashion Week from NMRKT's style closet right before the Oscar de la Renta show. Even though I had some people tell me I looked like I bird in it, I thought that if I could go all out for any show, it'd be Oscar's. So when we arrived outside of the building, Barbra Walters walks by and I wave and greet her. Right then, the arm on the jacket ripped! I didn't notice until later on though. Of course fate would have me meet Justin Timberlake, Rachel Zoe and Nicki Minaj in it. I asked Nicki if she liked it and she giggled, rubbed it and said "Oh, haha. It's faux?." Needless to say, I don't own that jacket anymore.
So what do your parents think of your success?
They're both really proud of me! It's really funny — like five months ago, neither of them knew I even had a Tumblr. I never expected it to get this big and I never discussed my social networking with them, so I didn't feel like I needed to. Then I got invited to go to New York and I knew I had to tell them. It took them a while to really see thecaliberof what I've created, but since [then] they've been nothing but supportive.

Is this post I've put together 5 sugar free snacks. Whenever you feel like you need something to snack on then these tasty snack swill serve you well. No longer will you feel the need to reach for some sugary snack as you'll have all these ideas to pick from. If you do make any of these beauties then take a pic and post them on instagtram using hashtag #imsweetenough
Here they are,
1.Sweet Potato Chips
You know it makes sense! These sweet potato chips or as we call them in good ol' blighty "crisps" taste great, they only have 4 ingredients which make things super easy (which is how I like things), so go ahead get some made and let me know what you think.
- 1 medium organic sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Since the peeling has a lot of nutritional benefits, it's recommended to leave it on. Scrub the potatoes, remove blemishes and pat dry. Using a mandolin or knife, slice into 1/16" to 1/8" round pieces…depending on the thickness preferred.
In a large mixing bowl, add sliced potatoes and oil, toss to coat.
Line a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick foil, place potato slices next to each other until the cookie sheet is filled. More than one cookie sheet may be needed, if so, place sheets on the middle and bottom racks, switch positions after the first 40 minutes. If using only one cookie sheet bake on the middle rack.
Bake for 40 minutes, turn potatoes over and bake an additional 40 minutes. If the edges are crispy remove from oven, if not, bake an additional 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy around the edges. Sprinkle with curry powder or your favorite spices.

2. Curried Cauliflower Fritters
Oh baby baby this snack was made for people who like indian food, wink wink I'm one of those people 😉
These indian inspired curried cauliflower fritters as so great it'll be hard to share with your friends, but please be kind as you'll friends will love you even more after trying these.
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tabelspoons all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- handful of cilantro, chopped
- vegetable oil for frying
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400°. Place the cauliflower on a line baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season the cauliflower with 1 teaspoon of salt and transfer to the oven for 20 minutes, turning once to ensure even roasting.
To make the sauce: Coat a small saucepan with olive oil and set to medium low heat. Add in the shallots and sauté until soft and transluscent (6-8 minutes). Place the cooked shallots, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Set you in fridge to chill while you prepare the fritters.
Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is coarsely ground.
Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and add bread crumbs, eggs, flour, yogurt, spices, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly until combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the cauliflower mixture into the palm of your hand. Form into a patty 3 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Continue to make patties with the remaining mixture.
Place a skillet over medium high heat, and pour in vegetable oil until it reaches 1/2 inch up the sides. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fritters, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Gently flip and cook on the opposite side for a minute or two. Transfer to paper towels to drain and then plac then in a preheated 200° oven to keep warm. Repeat the process to cook the remaining fritters.

4. Spinach Balls
When I was a kid I used to have a full on addiction to aunt bessie stuffing balls so anything similar and I'm in! These are fantastic, my mouths watering just writing about them. These can also be frozen ready to pull out the freezer and have ready in next to no time! Perfect when you haven't got a lot of time on your hands. Enjoy!
- 2 (10 oz.) packages frozen spinach, thawed & well-drained
- 2 small onions, very finely chopped (I use a food processor)
- 2 1/4 c. stuffing with herbs (I use Pepperidge Farm)
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 c. melted butter
- 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper

5. Spicy Yogurt Dip and Veggies
Simple yet tasty, nice little snack to tie you over till your next meal. This is low carb and healthy. Not too fancy but does the job.
32 oz fat-free plain yogurt
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
Seasoned salt to taste
Cut-up fresh veggies
1. LINE a strainer with a coffee filter or white paper towel. Place the strainer over a bowl (this catches the liquid that will drain off the yogurt). Spoon the yogurt into the filter-lined strainer.
2. COVER and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. This process yields about 16 ounces of yogurt cheese.
3. SEASON the cheese lightly with the seasonings suggested above, or add freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, rosemary or thyme. Use as dip for fresh vegetables.

text: yeah yeah, I have more questions. I'm almost done though, I promise! DH surprised me by buying me the Xti today He neglected to buy the warranty when he purchased it from Circuit City. That brings me to my first question...are there any places you can buy warranties from independantly? 2nd question...he bought me 2 CF cards. One is Sandisk (Extreme III) and one is Lexar (Professional). Both are 4 gig....I have always used Sandisk, and with the recovery software that is included with the cards I would prefer to stick to only installing one..I don't want to install both. Is one better than the other? DH seems to be of the opinion that Lexar is better than Sandisk...your opinions? I can't wait to try my new toy out tomorrow at our nephew's soccer game!! TIA!

I will write about prison work soon. Probably in a day or two when i have more time to devote to a new hub. I will most likely write an ongoing hub about my work. Interesting thing, I don't bring work home with me and i write at home so I will need to conjure up my work persona to write those hubs.

"I have worked in a jail and a prison it was easy for me" ...I feel it is like a subset inside of a set or like a city in a state. I feel you have good and bad people in all walks of life not all the criminals are behind bars remember that. However, I do feel there are crimes that people commit they should never see the light of day for and I have a list of those. Also, I do have a list of criminals starting with Charles Manson that should stay in prison until he is dead. Meanwhile, he should have been executed because it would have saved the tax paying citizens money!

Okay so I lost my grandfather (my dad's father) and it's very hard right now and it's hard to except that he's gone. Well I have too. I got invited to go to a Christmas party this Saturday. I'm not sure if I want to because I don't want to end up crying there and plus it's the same day as his funeral and it's in Georgia and I can't afford to go and I'm devestated that I can't go. I know not everyone can go but I want to be there.
I think that you should probably stay home. It's the same day as the funeral and you'll be really sad about that and you probably won't feel like partying. Spend time with your family. God bless!
If its not with your own family probs not cuz you need to spend time with family but its up to you.

Saturday June 02,

Monday June 04,

"There's no point in having a strategy if you aren't going to pretend to follow it."

By 2100, will the earth be suffering from massive overpopulation, or will there be a "demographic winter" because people are not having children?
This is being debated by experts and advocates who say recent data from the United Nations support their respective positions.
The U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) released a statement in May about educating the public about overpopulation, given the expected birth of the world's 7 billionth person at the end of October.
Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, executive director of the UNFPA, said the U.N.'s projections underscored "an urgent need to provide safe and effective family planning" to women in developing countries, to allow them to determine the "number and spacing of their children."
However, others say that the UNFPA is reaching conclusions on preliminary data from the United Nations Population Division, which has yet to publicly release in full its latest population report.
Dr. Susan Yoshihara, vice president of research and director of the International Organizations Research Group for the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, told Our Sunday Visitor that the best scientific data still shows lagging fertility rates across the board. She says the UNFPA's conclusions are based on an ideology as well as an unproven model of predicting fertility.
"The United Nations' numbers indicate falling fertility rates, and UNFPA is saying we need more family planning? It's very contradictory," she said.
The current world population of almost 7 billion people is expected to reach 10.1 billion by 2100, according to the official U.N. population estimate.
Much of that increase is projected to come from high-fertility countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, according to the U.N.'s figures.
The U.N.'s Population Division also notes that if global fertility increases by half a child per woman, the worldwide population figure could reach almost 16 billion people by 2100.
Suzanne Ehlers, president of Population Action International, which supports providing contraception as a poverty-fighting tactic, said the projections are "a wake-up call for governments to fulfill the global demand for contraception."
However, the statistics reveal that at least 59 developed countries have below-replacement fertility rates of less than 2 children per couple: 2.1 children per couple is considered replacement level in developed countries.
Those figures raise serious concerns about the viability, security and economic stability of those nations.
Demographer Phillip Longman, senior fellow at the New America Foundation and author of "The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity" (Basic Books, $26), has noted that birthrates have declined by more than 50 percent since 1979.
Longman told OSV that the U.N. statistics actually show that by 2100, about 1 in 4 people on the planet will be older than 60.
"10 billion people by 2100 creates a nice headline, but when you get inside the numbers, you see a growing population of seniors, combined with a dearth in babies being born," Longman said.
Even the U.N.'s recent figures acknowledge that variations in fertility rates across the globe can produce "major differences" in global population estimates.
For example, one possible scenario envisioned by the U.N. has the global population reaching 8 billion in 2050, and then declining to 6.2 billion by 2100.
In fact, by the turn of the next century, only the populations of countries currently considered high-fertility are expected to still be increasing, according to the U.N. Population Division.
Between 2095-2100, the population of low- and intermediate-fertility countries would drop 0.3 percent per year; the high-fertility countries would still be increasing at an 0.5 percent annual clip. Africa, where 39 of 55 countries are high-fertility, could rise to a population of 3.6 billion by 2100.
Those figures have many in the UNFPA and the West calling for improved family-planning programs for developing countries in Africa.
The UNFPA said it will launch a social media campaign on the effects of population growth, with themes including women's empowerment, environmental sustainability and access to health.
Dr. Yoshihara said the UNFPA's emphasis on family planning has often translated into a push for contraception and abortion, rather than providing sound medical services and advice for families in developing countries.
"UNFPA continues to focus on more money for family planning because the fact is, that is how they make their money," she said.
Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, a nonprofit that argues against overpopulation and coercive family-planning programs, said in a statement that his organization's research shows that millions of women in the developing world are not demanding contraceptives.
"What they are actually crying out for is better primary health care for themselves and their families," said Mosher.
Congressional Republicans are also critical of the UNFPA. In May, Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced legislation to strip $40 million in funding designated for the UNFPA, saying it would save U.S. taxpayers around $400 million over 10 years.
The UNFPA's defenders say it is trying to raise awareness of a pending population bomb; opponents say that theory has been discredited by recent demographic data and falling fertility rates.
"This is ideology that fewer people are better," Dr. Yoshihara said. "But when you look at the data, you see that is not true. The prescription UNFPA wants is disastrous for the developing and developed worlds."
Brian Fraga writes from Massachusetts.
According to the United Nations, 42 percent of the world's population currently lives in low-fertility countries, 40 percent lives in intermediate-fertility countries and the remaining 18 percent lives in high-fertility countries. The countries shown on the map below comprise 75 percent of the population of each of the three categories.
Low-fertility countries
China, Brazil, the Russian Federation, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Iran, Thailand, France
Intermediate-fertility countries
India, United States, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mexico, Egypt
High-fertility countries
Pakistan, Nigeria, Philippines, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ghana, Yemen, Mozambique, Madagascar

sluggish. Investors are advised to stay sideline and refrain from fresh
investment for now.

text: This just might be the most important message you read all day. This is for USA flyers. There are lots of new FAA regulations regarding drones and model aircraft. Probably 80% of the people reading this are not aware that as long as you are a hobbyist and fly for personal enjoyment you can FLY AT NIGHT, USE FPV GOGGLES, AND FLY WITHIN 3 MILES OF AN AIRPORT. How? You need to belong to a community based organization such as the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) once you are a member you fall under this special rule which is law: https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/hr658_020112.pdf&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiDz9ShlJLPAhVE9x4KHb1ABpoQFggEMAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNHla7eEmMph_T9TBKMjmBbcVXBVog Not only does joining the AMA give you these legal benefits but it also gives you $2,500,000. Insurance coverage against bodily injury, property damage, and $1,000. Coverage of the theft of you model (drone). You don't have to ask permission to fly near an airport. They give you the form letter (letter of notification) to send to the airport that is affecting your flying to advise them that you WILL be flying in the proximity of their airport. This is no joke. Spend some time on their website or give them a call. I have no vested interest in promoting them other than sharing this information with you and a happy camper member.

Remember that Simpsons episode where they make fun on Yoko Ono at Moe's when she orders "A single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat."?
She does. She's ok with it too, apparently, as her latest art piece is exactly that.
It's part of an exhibition "Yoko Ono: One More Story" which is on display at the Reykjavik Art Museum. Ono technically only curated the show, so it's not ACTUALLY her work, but she okayed it so whatever – she's got a sense of humour.

Austrade stages "virtual" trade mission
The Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) has used videoconferencing to stage a virtual trade mission for wine exporters.
This Article Covers
Australian wineries have staged an online tasting session with potential Scandinavian wine importers at an event dubbed a "virtual trade mission" and a "tele-tasting" by Austrade staff.

The event saw Australian wines pre-shipped to Scandinavia, where tasters sampled the products during a video conference that featured winery representatives explaining the wines.
Trade missions typically involve exporters visiting another nation to meet potential buyers, but Austrade's Leith Doody, the organisation's State Manger for Victoria and Tasmania said the high cost of travel makes virtual missions more attractive in the current economic climate.
Virtual trade missions are also being used to reach markets where the security situation makes exporters uncomfortable about physical visits.
"Exporters are happy to come in and do a session like this at 9:00PM," Doody says, as it is more convenient to do so than it is to travel overseas.
The tele-tasting was, however, followed up by an actual trade mission to Scandinavia.
"Trade missions still work very well," Doody said. "One-to-one meetings are very valuable for exporters."

When Disney announced its Infinity platform for combining toys and video games in a single entertainment platform, it was easy to dismiss it as a Skylanders copycat.
Activision has seen more than $1 billion in revenues from its Skylanders toy-game hybrid products. Disney's offering is similar, but it is pouring a lot of its game- and toy-design chops into making sure that Infinity will be unique and valuable, considering that fans could pour a lot of money into this new platform over time.
Disney had originally targeted a June launch, but it delayed until August to make sure the game is polished. Disney is position Infinity as a platform to transform it into a huge game company, for once and for all.
We got a look at Infinity recently, and it's clear that Disney's engaging in a full-scale cross-platform toy and game war. Infinity is going to have depth and scale, and it will benefit from tapping into some of the biggest entertainment brands on Earth, said John Vignocchi [above], the executive producer of Disney Infinity, in an interview with GamesBeat.
"We have this treasure chest of intellectual property, and we can decide how much of that to leverage in Disney Infinity," Vignocchi said.
Disney is making several entertainment properties available on Disney Infinity from its inception. So it's clear that Disney isn't just testing the waters with Infinity.
The toy-game competition is perhaps one of the biggest wagers any company could make in entertainment. That's why only the biggest companies — Nintendo, Disney, and Activision — are moving into the market so far. But Infinity isn't the only project happening. Disney will continue to invest in standalone games, such as separate mobile games from Disney Mobile. And if Disney Infinity is a hit, the entertainment company could have a profit engine for years to come.
Disney began work on Infinity shortly after it shipped Toy Story 3: The Video Game in mid-2010. The company's Avalanche Software division in Salt Lake City was enamored with that Toy Story 3's Toy Box mode, which was an open world where you could engage in any kind of play with a bunch of different characters. Kids could build their own town from scratch, and it was clearly the innovative part of the title.
Then Disney adapted to the shift toward social and mobile games acquired social game maker Playdom for $763.2 million in July 2010, and it also grabbed mobile game maker Tapulous in mid-2010. Playdom's CEO John Pleasants became the head of Disney's game business, as the move toward digital games took on a new urgency.
A big part of the team was working on a game for Cars 2. But a smaller skunk works team at Disney's Avalanche focused on a game called Buzz Lightyear Star Command. In conversations with that team, Pleasants directed to do something much more ambitious that would be a platform for all Disney games in the future.
"Instead of a one-off game based on Tron or Tangled, what if we could make a game using the same engine and tools and vary the amount of content we could do for a particular Disney property," said Vignocchi. "The idea of creating a platform really resonated with us."
While this was happening, Activision Blizzard launched Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure in October 2011. That title combined a multiplatform game with a line of toys that you place on a "portal" connected to a game machine. By placing the character on the portal, the toy character transfers into the game for the player to control. The series was an instant hit, and it has sold more than $1 billion worth to date, with toy sales beating out sales of Star Wars toys. That's a real threat to Disney, and, while Disney executives won't acknowledge it, Disney Infinity was clearly adapted to mimic the toy-game hybrid strategy of Skylanders.
But Disney's own portal, or "Infinity Base," isn't an exact copy. The base lights up with different color LED lights based on which character is on it.
Like with Skylanders, you place a Disney toy character on the portal to activate that character inside the game. But you can also add "power discs" in the form of plastic hexagonal discs for the character to stand on. Those separately purchased power-ups give the character new abilities, and you can put up to two of them under a character. You can improve a character's health by 20 percent or give the character an economic boost.
The starter pack for a character comes with one of those power discs included. Kids can trade those discs with each other. That enhances replayability for the toy-hybrid platform, giving players a reason to acquire a new toy for $12.99 each. The base package will sell for $75, including the game and the base platform. The potential for additional collectible toy sales is enormous — and it's on a scale that only Disney can do.
The software is broken into playsets, or "true to property experience," Vignocchi said. These are original stories based on the entertainment property, such as the upcoming Monsters University coming out in June from Disney's Pixar animation division.
"The days of going to see the movie and going home to play the same story in the game are gone," Vignocchi said. "Players want a new adventure. That's what we aim for with every play set."
The game teams are working with filmmakers to create the original stories and craft characters for the games.
The other part is the Toy Box mode, which is like the toys on your living room floor. They're all mixed together. You can mix and match Disney characters from different properties in the Toy Box mode. In that mode, you can add a "theme disc" to the back of the portal, changing the whole background of the world to match the theme. You can, for instance, switch from a Toy Story world to a Tangled world in an instant.
"It's not a linear, level-based game" like the Skylanders games, Vignocchi said. "Players can decide where they want to go and how they want to play. There's no wrong way to play the games."
At the outset, the Toy Box world is populated with a mash-up of buildings and environments from different Disney properties. The creativity part of the platform is designed to be intuitive. With Toy Box, you can use a magic wand to highlight different objects. Once it is highlighted, you can move that object around, delete it, or edit it. You can rotate the item or use it to build things like castles in the sky. When you're editing an item, you can change the texture of the item so it will look different in the world. You can modify the nature of the world very quickly simply by putting a power disc on the Infinity Base.
The similarities to Skylanders include the toy-game concept and the base-portal, but that's where the resemblance stops, Vignocchi said. Inside that Toy Box, you can actually use tools to rebuild the world any way that you would like. It is an open-ended experience that kids can spend lots of time in. Infinity has 60 different game mechanics in Toy Box, such as melee combat. You can customize the world and share it with friends.
The first version of Disney Infinity debuts in August on a variety of platforms, including Nintendo's new Wii U game console. The first main characters are Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles, Sully from Monsters Inc. and Monsters University, and Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of the Caribbean. More toy lines and games will be announced later. Among the ones coming at a future date is Cars 2, which has cool features for cars such as weapon loadouts.
Hands-on with Mr. Incredible
I got a hands-on demo with Mr. Incredible. It started in the docks section of the playset for The Incredibles. The villain, Syndrome, is causing trouble, and it is up to the superhero family to save the day. It is set in a specific time in the 2004 film, during a kidnapping. Mr. Incredible's animations are much like his in the film, with very cartoon-like movements. The buildings are destructible, a feature that isn't that easy to do in a game.
All the characters have their own abilities. Mr. Incredible is the strongest and can pick up any object. The playset offers melee combat in an open cityscape. Enemies include various "omni droids," whose designs are embedded in Syndrome's computer in the original film. The game is thus consistent with the fiction of the film's universe. You can unlock items such as a hoverboard to make it easier to move through the world.
"We worked with Pixar to re-create all of those different omni droids," Vignocchi said. "We stay in close collaboration with the filmmakers."
If you complete a mission and level up your character, you can have a spin at a virtual toy dispenser. Inside of each playsetis a new set of virtual toys. You can unlock virtual toys inside a playset. And as soon as you unlock a virtual toy inside the story, you can then use that toy inside the Toy Box mode.
Mr. Incredible can drive around in his "Incredicar." Mr. Incredible's son, Dash, can run around the at superspeeds. He isn't as powerful, but he can blast things apart by rushing at them. Mr. Incredible's daughter, Violet, has defensive powers such as her shield. But she can also deliver some offensive attacks and can become invisible. Mrs. Incredible can stretch like a piece of taffy and can zap a bunch of enemies from a range, like a snapping rubber band. You can play all the different characters.
Hands-on with Jack Sparrow
Jack Sparrow's playset takes place during the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films. The opening scene is set in a rowboat, when Sparrow is navigating through a scene that comes out of the beginning of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. You can hear the "Yo ho, yo ho" song playing in the background.
The idea in the opening of the play set is to show what the ride would be like if the Imagineers had carte blanche to remake the world today. So you have novel things like a cannon in the front of your row boat.
In the game, Jack can board his ship and fight with on-shore pirates, or he can jump off the ship and go into the town to fight his enemies. Some of the characters are in the films, but some are also based on characters who were designed but never made it into any of the films.
You will be able to hop from island to island, such as Tortuga. It has 12 different islands, including three major islands, three medium islands, and six small ones. That makes for a sizable world, and you'll need a ship to travel between the islands. Jack, Davey Jones, and others battle for control of a Kracken and the control of the seas. I played a mission where you guide a ship through narrow straits and blow up other ships with your cannon.
"With each play set, you will see the rules of Infinity and the rules of each specific play set," Vignocchi said.
Bigger things to come
Each playset is around six or seven hours of main mission play time, and another 10 hours or so with side missions. With three playsets in the initial $75 package, you'll have at least 21 hours of gameplay, and more if you want to pursue side missions.
Over time, adding new modules to the series will get easier for Disney. But it may sacrifice graphics fidelity for any single game, as any new series will have to work with the existing platform. That's a calculated risk, but an understandable one given the worlds are focused on cartoon experiences, not photorealistic 3D animations.
"We strive to make sure that every one of the play sets adds a different kind of experience for the platform," Vignocchi said. "With Pirates, for instance, we add the sailing experience to the play. The Incredibles is about melee combat. Monsters is about scaring and it has comic features like a toilet paper cannon. This is a more efficient way for us to support all of the Disney content coming."
We'll see if kids go along with that corporate strategy.
Here's our video demo with Vignocchi on Disney Infinity.
