Statement of HH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan in the Opening Session
HH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan*
Note of the editor
Statement of HH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, President of El Hassan Science City and President of the Royal Scientific Society (Amman, Jordan) in the opening session of the conference, on 25 May 2010.
* * *
I am very grateful to the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization for inviting me to participate in this enlightening and challenging conference. By meeting in this forum, we not only celebrate the achievements of those scientists of past centuries who strove to broaden the horizons of knowledge for all mankind, we also challenge ourselves as descendents of these great men and woman, to honour their work by emulating their greatness.

The transmission of knowledge is vital in balancing progress and counteracting fear in our world. 1001 Inventions shows us that knowledge of our past holds the key to unlocking our future potential. We must celebrate who we were and what we achieved, and we must be inspired by it. But transmission of knowledge is necessary in so many other ways. It must be done across continents and social classes, across generations and genders. In our Jordanian context, the transmission of knowledge is something that must be done to release our most precious resource – untapped human capital.
The debate around this exhibition has reminded us that scientific achievement is all-too often an inheritance that attracts several claimants. Knowledge has often been made a commodity to fill the cultural armoury rather than the free currency of a global academy, as it should be. Unfortunately, it remains true that many people in the less developed world feel threatened by perceptions of a lack of entitlement to the booty of man's scientific achievements. They are, perhaps, forced to feel inadequate in a global knowledge economy. It is in all our interests that these perceptions are tackled and that very real institutions and mechanisms are established to allow local, knowledge-based economies to flourish in our region, as, indeed, they have before. 1001 Inventions has helped us to rediscover our role in past knowledge-creation. In Jordan, we are striving to create a new centre of research and discovery to help contribute to future human development. I am pleased to say that you at the Foundation will help us to develop an iconic brand in the spirit of our ingenious forebears.

As for those who will continue to make cultural claims to knowledge, I would remind them that the story of human achievement over the centuries has shown itself to be full of creative parallelisms; events and periods of human enlightenment that find their counterpart in other cultures and at other times – For example, Europe's 17th Century -the Age of Reason and of discovery - had its comparison in the Arab-Islamic world of the 10th Century. But to believe in one's own self and to celebrate one's own history and community should not imply a misunderstanding of, or disdain for, the other. 1001 Inventions reminds us that a shared human history and a synthesis of thought has proved vital to mankind's progress. Knowledge and appreciation of our respective achievements must promote mutual respect and remind us that we have far more in common than we often realise.
Islam broke down borders during its Golden Age. The spread of Islam across the Middle East, North Africa, Persia and Spain set aside much more than simply political boundaries. The creation of this vast political and social space created an environment in which science and scholarship thrived. This empire of ideas drew in knowledge and discovery from beyond its borders. The convergence of learning and scientific enquiry from India, Ancient Greece, China, and from the Islamic World represented a true alliance of cultures and a flowering of civilized achievement. The Age of Enlightenment, which has benefited the entire family of cultures that comprise our great human civilization, drew upon the knowledge and achievements of earlier times and from contemporary innovations. Similarly, the true legacy of our Arab Islamic Golden Age is not one of power or prosperity or great edifices in the sand. With the benefit of hindsight we can see that these were transient riches. The true wealth was one of ideas and innovation and these have enriched all of our lives today.
My Father has previously put this concept in a very physical context when he suggested the idea of a Genetics of Knowledge. Just as our human genome teaches us so much about our past and offers limitless potential for a better future, so an appreciation of the evolution of man's search for knowledge across centuries and civilisations can open a path to a universal consciousness that crosses cultures and beliefs. Celebrating our scientific heritage and rediscovering our ancestors' magnificent role in man's epic scientific journey is a first and vital step towards maximising our own creative potential.
And of course, the truth is, in order to deal with our present global challenges, we will need to draw on all of humanity's ingenuity and inventiveness to give us the best future possible.
Our mission at El Hassan Science City is to create an institution that builds on our heritage of scientific achievement. That mission is, indeed, urgent. As I have said, only a respect for knowledge and a marked veneration for its creative role in society can help to stem the flow of intellect and scientific know-how from our part of the World. We must make it clear to our brightest and best that we respect knowledge and innovation. Our goal is to captivate talent and to nurture Jordanian entrepreneurship and skill. We cannot afford to lose our future and, therefore, we must offer our innovators nothing less than the complete nurturing environment that they deserve.
We are delighted and privileged that Mr. Ahmed Salem of 1001 Inventions will collaborate with EHSC in building an infrastructure for innovation. Mr. Salem will join us and the master-planning team led by Arup, to help formulate an iconic Arts and Culture Strategy for the EHSC campus. This aspect of our development will form a core part of our future evolution. Each of our programmes will be informed by an artistic and cultural appreciation of what is possible, while the very physical design of our campus will show our appreciation of the heritage of creativity that 1001 Inventions celebrates so vividly. Our full acknowledgement of an Arabic scientific heritage will inform our strategy and remind us constantly of the high standards of innovation and creativity that we must set for ourselves today.

With the help of 1001 Inventions we will review and renew our Master plan. You have already given us so much to enrich the vital narrative of our campus. We look forward to working with you to develop a conceptual brief for EHSC that is informed by your inspirational exposition of our ancestors' role in science and invention. You have helped us to appreciate their enormous contribution to today's diverse and globalised world.
Now, I am delighted to say, you will greatly help us to compose a storyline and script for our role in bettering the world of tomorrow. We must give our young people an iconic beacon that draws energy from the past but focuses firmly on the future.
An important part of our mission at EHSC is to build our story into the structures and landscape of the campus, so that all those who work, study or visit there will draw inspiration from a physical representation of our heritage of discovery. Mr Salem, this will also be informed by your invaluable contributions to the architectural briefs for the structures that will house and nurture our modern-day innovators. I am delighted that the Foundation will also be involved in developing a museum brief for Jordan, through which we can celebrate the achievements of all those cultures and civilisations that have enriched our extraordinary history.
Finally, Mr Salem, we look forward to your advice on designing an educational programme that will help us to carry the message of EHSC beyond the campus walls.
This message is well known to you and has been carried around the world by your own magnificent exhibition. It tells of past achievements and reminds us that our potential for discovery has been proven in the past. We have no reason to lack confidence in repeating those triumphs. We will rise to the challenge and we must do so. Innovation, continuity and change – the three keywords that have driven EHSC since its launch in April 2007 – might almost have been taken from the Golden Age that we celebrate today. 1001 Inventions has shown us how right we were to base our campus on these three precepts and how right we are to push for nothing short of excellence in what we achieve.
At El Hassan Science City, we are embarking on an ambitious project for the development and expansion of our 100-acre campus.
In this regard, we have three primary objectives:
1) To provide state-of-the-art labs, classrooms, training and incubator buildings for our constituent organizations;
2) To create a public realm that fosters collaboration and interaction, and unites diverse Departments and buildings, and;
3) To express our mission of sustainability and scientific innovation through design, landscape the infrastructure.
We hope that our campus's Innovation Avenue will recreate in microcosm the environment that enabled science and creativity to flourish in the Arab World for so many centuries. Research and training must lead to enterprise creation. In addition, we must focus on a commitment to implementation and investment so that great ideas can make a real difference in the marketplace. Your input will be invaluable to help ensure that our outputs are those timeless treasures that this conference celebrates – human inquiry and innovation.
There is much at stake. Our part of world has been poorly portrayed in the West for many decades. I hope our work here will help to rectify that. I also hope that our efforts will go a long way to improving how we see ourselves. Perhaps we can all learn to look at our position in the modern world through the lens of learned reflection. We can now say that we have regained our place in the history of scientific achievement. Now we are ready to earn our place in its future.

[Proceedings of the conference 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World organised by FSTC, London, 25-26 May 2010].
The Islamic realms served as a crucible for scientific learning from the ancient Greek world in the West and from China, India and Iran, in the East. Western Europe in turn benefited from the transmission of Arabic science into Latin, just as Chinese culture was indebted to Arabic texts travelling eastwards. There was a vast network of transmission over centuries and over continents. This short article presents three stories telling related to the transfer of science between India, Europe and China via Muslim Heritage. Manuscripts and printing in the spread of Muslim science by: Geoffrey RoperDr Geoffrey Roper
The following article presents a brief status about the transmission of Muslim scientific texts, and how the physical means by which it was done may have affected their reception and influence in both the Muslim world and Europe. The article documents in particular the traces of existence of printing in early Islam, several centuries before the invention of printing by Gutenberg in the 15th century. The Stellar and Lunar Keys to Medieval Muslim Agriculture by: Dr. Zohor IdrisiDr Zohor Idrisi
In this short note, Dr Zohor Idrisi, an expert on the history of Islamic agriculture, explores the interaction between some folk astronomical knowledge and the agricultural practice in Islamic civilisation. Taking examples from the al-anwa' literature, she focuses on the famous Calendar of Cordoba written in 961 CE under the title Kitab al Anwa' and translated into Latin as Liber anoe. Statement of HE Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu in the Opening Session by: Prof. Ekmeleddin IhsanogluProfessor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu
In this elogious statement addressed to the international conference organised by Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization (FSTC) in London, HE Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and a world class historian of science expresses his admiration for the efforts deployed by FSTC to promote the knowledge about Muslim heritage and outlines the salient traits of the contribution of Muslim civilisation to world history and culture. Heritage Research for Cultural Inter-Appreciation in the Balkans by: Sali ShahsivariSali Shahsivari
In this vibrant plea for cultural inter-appreciation in the Balkan, Sali Shahsivari outlines the role that may be played by heritage research in the case of this tormented region. Departing from his detailed knowledge of the cultures and histories of the South-East Europe, he states that the world has never been before in more need of understanding and cultural coexistence than today. Arguing that much of the current dialogue between nations and groups is mainly confined to Inter-Faith and Inter-Political dialogue, he indicates that there is a dire necessity to search for a new dimension of dialogue, that of cultural dialogue, developed on our shared common heritage, with its multiple dimensions rooted in the past and the present of the different communities.

I was first introduced to Burke Williams spa 12 years ago, when I first came to LA, and have been a very loyal customer over the years since then. Basically, you can't mess with perfection, and as far as I am concerned there is nothing better than treating yourself to a relaxing afternoon at a Burke Williams Spa.
You can imagine how excited I was to be invited to a special evening they were hosting with Angeleno magazine, and, as it was my Birthday the following day it was the perfect way to start celebrating.
Guest were treated to complimentary massage or facials, eye lash extensions, paraffin hand massages and specialist skin consultations with H2V skin products, as well as cocktails with Little Black Dress Vodka and then to undo all the calorie counting, the most delicious assortment of cookies and mini red velvet cakes on sticks by Cookielicious. This serious melt in the mouth experience had me testing all the cakes and cookies several times over, just to make sure they were really good!
My skin specialist for H2V, Shannon, recommended a potent serum moisture enhance, which absorbs up to one thousand times its weight in water, making it the perfect booster for de hydrated skin. Just what I need for long flights across the Atlantic!
I opted for a massage and was treated to an amazing deep tissue massage by the wonderful La Drena, who worked out all my shoulder stress from horse riding. I felt thoroughly pummeled and although a little sore, the next day I felt like I had a new back!
Thank you to all concerned for a totally 'Beyond Spa' evening, I can't wait to come back! For Burke Williams locations and treatments click here

Honest Reactions from the 2014 World Cup Draw
Putting managers and footballers near journalists is always done with the best of intentions, but in an era where news moves through the cosmos at an unbelievable pace, players and coaches stick to a fairly predictable script when responding to any type of question from the press.
Thankfully, neither group ever manages to hold their poker face; with a bit of research and plenty of imagination, those mundane quotes reveal a deeper meaning. Let's take a look at what players and coaches said in the aftermath of Friday's World Cup Draw, and what they actually meant to say.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque
What he said: "We can't say we were handed an easy draw. It's a complicated group with tough sides. It's going to be difficult."
What he meant: "We were handed an easy draw. Every draw is easy when you're Spain. I am happy we could avoid Switzerland this time around, but let's talk again before the semifinals."
Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis
What he said: "I don't care how people describe our game or whether our style will be more defensive or offensive. We will play to make the last 16 and will fight for it as much as we can - you can be sure about that."
What he meant: "Historically speaking, we're much better at the Olympics than this, but we're going to have fun fighting. I mean, playing football."
United States defender DaMarcus Beasley
What he said: "I think [Portugal] have a lot of weapons. I don't think they're a one-man show."
What he meant: "We'll have to use all our weapons. If we want any sort of result against Portugal, we're going to have to poison Cristiano Ronaldo. Even then, he might score 6. It's a tough ask."

Hit a shot outside of 15 feet, so that's new. Returned to the starting lineup but it's clear that the Nets are limiting his minutes.
Played with more defensive intensity than usual (man, I never expected to say that about Kevin Garnett), but he couldn't hit the third rail if he laid on the subway track.
Has some great potential as a "3 and D" guy as long as he's not the one that has to facilitate any offense. Let him run around screens, get to the corners, cut to the basket, get open shots, and defend the opponent's best or second-best scorer in all sorts of lineups. There's potential there. But, and I can't stress this enough, don't let him facilitate.
Took some ill-advised shots in the third quarter (making one), but the Nets didn't really use him as their primary facilitator until late in the game tonight, electing instead to give the ball to Lopez and float Johnson over to the weak side. (Not coincidentally, Johnson hit his only two three-pointers off cross-court feeds from Lopez.) In the fourth, Johnson took over playmaking duties, finding Lopez for an easy dunk and Garnett for a midrange jumper on back-to-back possessions to bolster the lead, and hitting the dagger jumper with under a minute left.
Dominated the first three quarters when no one else could find the bucket, scoring in the post and on cuts. More impressively, he threw a couple of really nice passes, including the two aforementioned cross-court finds for Joe Johnson for open 3's and a dump-down to Kevin Garnett at the rim that could've been two points had Garnett caught it cleanly and Garnett wasn't shooting 46 percent in the restricted area. Yes, Zaza Pachulia and Larry Sanders are sidelined and John Henson's built like a stop sign, but give him credit for taking advantage.
He really, really wants to score. Sometimes, it works.
Got the call over Mason Plumlee as the team's backup center and played decently, even hitting a few shots near the rim and drawing a shooting foul. But he's not rebounding nearly as well as last year.
He plays at 70 miles per hour while his mind runs at 55. You can see him excited to burst into lanes and hit open teammates, but he's just ever-so-slightly out of control.
His made threes are pretty and he does a more decent job defensively than you might expect but not a serious impact.
On the latest episode of #BKConnect, Rod Boone, Chris Shearn, and myself discuss Jason Kidd's decision to dismiss Lawrence Frank, the emergence of Mirza "Fearza" Teletovic, and whether or not Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce can coexist when Pierce returns from his broken hand injury. Mostly watch it for my impeccable fashion sense and shaving strategy.

In Milwaukee, the Brooklyn Nets look to steal a win from the Milwaukee Bucks and avoid tying them for the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Early, Brook Lopez made a statement, and that statement was in reverse one-handed Brookie Monster form. Lopez took Udoh baseline and threw down a man's jam in Udoh's face to give the Nets an early lead in the first quarter.
Bonus: listen to Donny Marshall get excited. He's got a great excited whoop.
Starting Lineup: Shaun Livingston, Alan Anderson, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez.
Injury Report: Deron Williams (ankle), Paul Pierce (hand), Andrei Kirilenko (back), and Jason Terry (knee) have all been ruled out.
When & Where: 8:30 P.M. EST, Bradley Center, Milwaukee, WI
Watch: YES Network (Pregame at 8 P.M.)
Listen: CBS 880 AM
A scout from the Eastern Conference spoke with Marc Stein of ESPN, telling him the same thing Joe Johnson said after Thursday night's loss to the New York Knicks: the team lacks a real identity.
Here's the full transcript of what the scout told Stein:
The Nets made colossal moves this summer expected to alter the Eastern Conference landscape, acquiring future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics and transforming their lineup into a potential championship contender.
So far, that hasn't worked out.... MORE →
Why have we gone into the over-priced t-shirt business? This answer may be more than you want to know but for those curious, I thought I'd lay out why we're trying to raise money this way.
A few things to know about us. We get no money from the Brooklyn Nets. We get no money from Barclays. This enables us to be fiercely independent. The game grades just wouldn't be the same if we had to give everyone a B+ or higher every game, would they? But it means that financially we're on our own.
We get some money from advertising but most of that comes through ad networks, and you may be surprised to hear how little those pay. A typical site might get something like a "$2 CPM," which means that if an ad is viewed 1,000 times (which seems like a lot, no?) it generates all of $2 for us. (If you want to advertise, drop us a line!) But bottom line is, it's very hard for a local, niche website like ours to make enough money from advertising these days.
Some websites are trying to solve this dilemma by putting up a subscription "pay wall" -- say you cant read The Brooklyn Game unless you pay, say, $30 a year. We're hoping to avoid that. We want as many of you as possible to read us!
So we're trying an experiment. We're setting up a store with some pretty slick items -- some celebrating the Nets ("Big Up To Brooklyn"), some repping The Brooklyn Game. They actually look pretty damn good. We intentionally priced these items a little bit high, and we're not pretending otherwise. (How many stores do you know that broadcast that their items are "overpriced"!?? Points for honesty, please) This way we'd generate a bit more revenue for The Brooklyn Game. (Though, it should be said, our hoodie prices are actually lower than some in the Nets store).
Or you could think of it as if you were becoming a Member of The Brooklyn Game and get a t-shirt (instead of a NPR totebag) as a special gift. (And we have set up a quasi membership program: if you send us a picture of you in your gear, you'll get your picture in our Hall of Fame gallery and Devin will answer your question on line).
We need your support to continue to provide you all the great content on the Nets: player grades, breaking news, fan Rep Your Nets albums, highlights of fan opinions -- and, most important, the best analysis of the Nets on the planet. I really think that's true. I'd put Devin up against anyone for sheer basketball smarts, as well as sense of humor.
So please consider helping us out by buying something from the store. The gear honestly is pretty cool -- and you'd be helping us to serve you.
Steven Waldman
The Brooklyn Nets will be without Deron Williams (ankle), Paul Pierce (hand), Andrei Kirilenko (back), and Jason Terry (knee) once again for tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced today.
Pierce and Williams were expected out -- Pierce will miss the next 1-3 weeks as he rehabilitates a broken bone in his hand, and Nets GM Billy King said Williams was hoping to be back Tuesday for the team's home game against the Boston Celtics. Williams hasn't played a full game with the Nets in nearly a month. Terry's earliest return date was tonight, but he'll be re-evaluated Monday. Kirilenko, fighting the worst back spasms of his career, currently has no timetable.
The Nets are reeling right now, which in some twisted way, may signify how important Williams is to the team's success.
The Brooklyn Nets travel tonight to Milwaukee to face the only team perhaps more broken than them in the Eastern Conference: the 4-15 Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks enter tonight with the league's worst offense, and their best player (Larry Sanders) sidelined after undergoing surgery on his right thumb. They're led instead by guard O.J. Mayo, who's averaging 14.9 points in 31.4 minutes per game on 41.3 percent shooting.
The Bucks are one of the league's worst teams at converting high-percentage shots. They're shooting 55.1 percent on shots in the restricted area, second-worst in the NBA, and have shot the second-fewest corner three-point attempts in the league. Mayo is front and center there: the team's leading scorer has shot a putrid 45.6 percent from within five feet, well below the league average.
But it's not the inside the Nets should worry about, particularly given their poor perimeter defense as of late. The Bucks have three rotation players (Khris Middleton, Mayo, Gary Neal) shooting over 40 percent from three-point range,
They also employ rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo, and his giant hands:
Not photoshopped.
It's been a difficult road as of late for these Brooklyn Nets, who fell to 5-14 after a crushing 113-83 loss to their cross-borough rival New York Knicks in their home building. Chants of "Garnett Sucks!" and "Let's Go Knicks!" peppered throughout the building, and when PA announcer David Diamante implored the crowd to stand up, he was met with a chorus of boos from the split crowd.
The Knicks loss was the second straight for Brooklyn, their sixth straight at home, and their ninth in the last eleven games. They'll be without Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko, and Jason Terry once again. Their lineup is depleted, their offense lacks identity, and their defense is broken. The Nets are hurtling towards rock bottom faster than gravity allows.
But the Milwaukee Bucks, on the second half of a back-to-back following an overtime game, may be just the medicine for their struggles.
On the latest episode of #BKConnect, YES Network's Chris Shearn, Newsday's Rod Boone, and I discuss the team's third-quarter woes, whether or not Deron Williams will ever be fully healthy again, and break down the play of the month, Joe Johnson's game-winning floater in overtime against the Phoenix Suns.
The next episode of #BKConnect airs during tomorrow night's pregame show on YES Network at 8 P.M. To submit questions or comments, hit up YES Network on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, using the hashtag #BKConnect.

Historic Preservation
1:18 pm
Sun September 18, 2011
People voice their concerns about historic preservation
The state is holding a series of workshops to get the public's feedback about historic preservation. A meeting is planned in Traverse City on September 21 and in Detroit on October 12. Another meeting will take place in Lansing in January.
People have already attended workshops in Kalamazoo and Midland. Their biggest concern so far is the lack of funding for preservation programs.
Laura Ashlee is with The State Historic Preservation Office.
"As part of the governor's restructuring of taxes in Michigan for businesses he eliminated the tax credits for historic preservation. There will be a new program, we believe, and we're going to work with the governor to implement that program."
Ashlee says historic preservation also makes economic sense. She says people are employed when working on restorations. She also says historic buildings attract people and businesses to that area.
The State Historic Preservation Office is in the process of writing its plan for the next five years. And the public's feedback will help shape its plan.

How Intel helps fund PC makers' marketing: Q&A
In the wake of a report this week that Intel is giving PC makers a $100 subsidy on ultrabooks--which Intel promptly denied--I asked longtime chip guru Nathan Brookwood how Intel's co-marketing works.
Brookwood is the principal analyst at Insight 64. Before becoming an analyst, he held marketing management positions at companies such as Micronics, Intergraph, and Digital Equipment Corporation.
Q: How does Intel's Market Development Fund work? Brookwood: When they do these MDF programs, it's not a cash subsidy. It's usually done in the form of some cooperative advertising and other promotions. It's … Read more

Really fun day, going in I had only played one proper game so learnt a hell of a lot, sporting opponents with some lovely paint jobs, interesting tables and cake, what more could you want?
Quick look at the up coming releases and I don't think anyone is going to be disapointed, nice models with some interesting rules, some of them will certainly open new tactics for their faction.
What more can I say other than I was convinced that this is such a good game that I bought in to the 5th faction as soon as I got home.

Long term interest rates remain at record closes the Fed continues its bond buying program.
We've got an analyst who says.
If not -- US treasuries because they're not really -- -- much there are ways to make money in fixed income -- Us now is Jack MacIntyre is brandywine global portfolio manager and senior research analyst Jack good to see -- central banks what they're doing here clearly is is trying to get people.
Out of there savings accounts into the equity markets they want to stimulate the equity markets but.
What for folks in fixed income it it makes your job much harder than it used to be how is.
The whole idea of fixed income changing as a result of what central banks all over the world are doing.
-- -- if I was a -- a US based investor my universe was just the US spot market yet it would be extremely challenging.
But I've got the luxury of being able reallocate.
Our clients capital away from the US into some of those higher yielding bond markets.
Out there -- and it's not just the yields these are also improving credits.
Out there particularly away from the developed markets that have those.
Over levered balance sheets there's a lot economies -- better growth prospects much cleaner balance sheets.
And we should see continued declines in those yields is that money gets allocated away from the US.
You know one of the things that we always wanted to do here Fox Business -- give people ideas and when we saw your ideas we thought this is really interesting for those -- work.
Really feeling that they still want to be in country's debt but again as you say the US -- -- as well dump it into it you know hundred.
Underneath here is your mattress.
Let's talk first about some of the developed countries were you like the sovereign debt.
Yep we look at what's happened in didn't Europe we've actions have been moving money.
Into an Italian bonds.
We've been in pork side and Poland bonds which -- money into Portuguese bonds but.
-- what's driving there is one is the attractiveness.
Of both the nominal and real yields you've got a major shift.
By the year ago in the ECB.
Towards running accommodative monetary policy and that was a big development.
And then you've got drug -- sort of drawing a line in the sand -- -- he's gonna do whatever it takes to defend.
The Euro and to me that was a game changer you don't get to -- game changer but when he said that back into over the summer that told us that -- we should probably be thinking about putting some money to work.
In Italian bonds they still have attractive yields particularly relative to treasuries.
And Poland.
It's still as attractive yield it's been a really strong bond market's been a strong currency.
Health care it's not quite as attractive.
As Italy right now but we still have money allocated to -- but -- you when -- talk about Italy and Poland and Mexican bonds idea I think of them nice to cover Mexico back in the eighty's and ninety's I remember some defaults out there are being there there are some very.
To me it sounds more like junk bonds and fixed income.
Well -- tired but make the comment that you are these are not your father's emerging markets we've seen a huge development.
Over the last ten years or so in the -- and what.
Is the developing world right now and Mexico is a classic example let me -- challenge and -- -- because we have seeing Mexico go into terrible crisis with his drug war and that eventually effects investments into Mexico so there there are a lot of elements in which it looks even worse of our fathers Mexico.
Well I agree -- percent because there are those very bad nasty headlines about the drug cartels but even despite debt.
Mexico continues to attract significant.
FDI you know to the tune of about twenty billion every year.
Right now so yeah that that is a big negative issue but it shows that beyond that.
By the Mexican economy continues to experience.
Better than trend growth -- got great demographics a young productive workforce and it's a leverage play.
On the US but it's also -- very open economy they have about.
44 free trade agreements that put that in perspective the US only has nineteen so.
We continue to see Mexico.
And wonder that the themes with Mexico and its Latin American -- particularly in Mexico.
Is that they can compete with China on a cost of production basis and that you know that -- have been -- for -- ten years.
You've got a lot of different plants there that move you've got big US multinationals building plants down merode you know Flextronics everyone -- that to be big automakers.

I thought it would be better to delete my old thread and post a new one here.
Anyway, I'm new, and I have some questions about code conversions.
I have a PAL Xploder version 2. I've worked out that Xploder v2 takes RAW codes, and I've learnt how to convert Xploder V4 codes to V2, so I was really happy until I found that Xploder don't really keep their codes up to date and there's a lot of newer games missing on their site.
So I've been trying to convert PAL Action Replay and AR Max codes to RAW. However, I've tried doing this and comparing them to codes that work on Xploder, and they end up being completely different. I've tried the right key codes and everything.
Does it matter if both the RAW codes are different? Will they still work?
Ok, on to another question, about porting codes to different regions.
I've read a guide or two about how to convert codes in DeltaMaker.
I found it a little confusing... they said that to convert the codes, you need to get the same code in PAL and NTSC, turn them both into RAW, then put them into the Address lines and get the offset. You then enter the code you want to convert in the Input code section then port them.
But it made me wonder... If I had both a PAL code and an NTSC code, then why would I need to port them? I would already have the code in the region I want. lol
Oh well, maybe someone can help me. I'd appreciate it alot :)

Cancer won't beat my pal Liam Hayes
An Irish sports legend battles cancer
This is the story of a Guinness baseball hat designed for American tourists, and a Meath football legend's battle against cancer at a time when he should be enjoying his life.
We'll start with the hat, currently on sale in the Guinness shop that is a visitor's Mecca in the duty free area of Dublin Airport.
I was there on Saturday morning, en route to the wonderful new Wembley Stadium for a rugby match, when the hat sent a "come and get me" plea in my direction.
I'm in the market for such a hat, you see, for my good friend Liam Hayes who, as anyone who watched Friday night's Late Late Show online or read the Sunday Tribune can tell you, is currently battling against cancer at the ripe old age of 48.
A month or so ago, when Liam first told me of the arrival of the dreaded C word on his family doorstep in Lucan, I promised to buy him a hat. A nice and warm but tacky hat, and I'm determined to live up to my promise.
He's already losing his hair and, like me, he's of an age when the cold of an Irish winter can be an uncomfortable intrusion when the hair is no longer in place.
So I texted Liam from the departure lounge on Saturday morning, hours after his very honest and very moving interview with Ryan Tubridy, to tell him that I'd found the perfect hat.
Hours later, by which time I had already arrived in London, he got back to me and insisted I buy two hats exactly the same, and we'll both wear them whenever and wherever we get out to play golf again.
We will play golf again, trust me, which is why I'm heading to one of those gift shops off Grafton Street on Friday to buy two of those Guinness hats with the weird mixture of tweed designs that have American tourist written all over them.
And yes, I will be proud to look like a Yank on the first tee in Headfort, probably sometime next summer, but only so long as Liam is beside me on that tee-box. I know he will be.
No matter what this Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma does to Liam Hayes, it's not going to kill him. His spirit and his fight won't let it.
He hasn't told me as much. He doesn't have to. I've known of Liam since I was 14 and he was the brilliant footballer up the road in Skryne who all of Dunshaughlin knew would go on to play for Meath long before Sean Boylan and his magical hands were ever heard of.
Even as a strappy teenager a couple of years ahead of us at St. Patrick's Classical School in Navan, Liam Hayes was a Gaelic football star in the making and a midfielder of real promise with club, school and county.
By the time I was 16 -- and he was 18 -- we'd met and started to work together in the sports department of the Meath Chronicle, the office that started so many of us off in the world of journalism.
Liam was already a trainee on the staff of the Chronicle when I took my baby steps on the road to a lifetime's worth of memories on the sidelines of sport's great dramas.
My initial brief was to cover hurling matches in Meath. He covered senior club championship games -- often with the notebook in the back packet of his Skryne club shorts, so to speak.

Hi readers,
I don't share a lot of writing contests here, simply because there are so many. But this one struck me as kind of unique and more geared toward working freelance writers.
Copyblogger is having a short-essay contest with the prompt Why It's Important to Be an Online Authority Today. Two caveats: the prizes are trainings and memberships in one of Copyblogger's learning groups called Authority Intensive (i.e. as opposed to cash), and the deadline is today.

The Kimball High sophomore team sealed their place as tournament champions Wednesday in the final game of the Augie Vierra Memorial Baseball Tournament at the Tracy Learning Center, taking 9-0 win over the host team, the Millennium junior varsity squad.
The Jaguars had three wins for the tournament, which went through schedule changes as teams got in games between rain showers this week and worked around spring break schedules. Pittsburg High's junior varsity team went 1-1 for the week, West won a game, and Millennium's junior varsity team lost four games.
Kimball scored three runs in the first inning, four in the third and two more in the seventh, all on eight hits. The Falcons had four hits for the day and twice had runners in scoring position but couldn't bring them in.
Kimball's Dylan Davis and Trevor Trew led their team at the plate as each doubled and singled, and Sammy Duran, Junior Romero, Brennan Bowman, Kyle Riley and Sean Rodriguez all singled.
Trew pitched five innings and gave up four hits and no runs and struck out three for the win. Duran and Orr each pitched an inning of relief, and each struck out two and allowed no hits.
Hits for Millennium included a double for Giacomo Oliveri and singles for Eddie Diaz, Daniel Gutierrez and Malik Charles. Diaz pitched six innings for the Falcons and gave up seven runs on six hits, and Oliveri pitched two innings and allowed two runs on two hits.
Junior varsity: West 10, Millennium 8
Tuesday's game in Millennium's Augie Vierra Tournament didn't heat up until the sixth inning, when West's freshman team scored three runs to break a 2-2 tie.
The Millennium junior varsity team came back with three runs in the bottom of the sixth and the 5-5 tie put the teams into extra innings.
West rallied in the top of the ninth inning to make it a 10-5 game, and the Falcons fought back for three runs in the bottom of the ninth, but West's infield took care of the Millennium base runners before the Falcons were able to catch up again.
West closing pitcher Jose Hernandez got the win. He also led West at the plate with a triple and two singles and two RBIs in the ninth. Ryan Wagner also doubled and singled at the plate.
Millennium's Eddie Diaz singled and had a triple, Daniel Gutierrez and R.J. McKee both singled twice while Giacomo Oliveri singled once.
Falcons starting pitcher Diaz went four innings and gave up one run on three hits. Gutierrez pitched two innings and allowed four runs on five hits, and closing pitcher Manjot Atwal got the loss after he pitched three innings and gave up five run on eight hits.
Sophomores: Kimball 12, Pittsburg 1
The Jaguars ran away with Tuesday's game in the Augie Vierra Tournament, hosted by Millennium High at the Tracy Learning Center, with an eight-run third inning.
The Jaguars collected 10 hits for the day. Dylan Davis had two hits and three RBIs, Sammy Duran doubled, singled and drove in a run, Ryan King had two hits and batted in one run, Brennan Bowman and Kyle Riley each singled and batted in runs, and Trevor Trew and Zach Orr both singled. Ryan King pitched all five innings, gave up four hits and struck out eight batters.
