The Commonwealth of Nations
2013 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM)
CHOGM 2013 will be hosted by Sri Lanka from 15-17 November. The theme for the meeting is "Growth with Equity: Inclusive Development."
Registration for the Commonwealth People's Forum (CPF) is now open. The CPF will be held immediately before CHOGM on 10-14 November in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka and will bring together civil society representatives from around the world to discuss global development issues.
Commonwealth Charter
The Charter of the Commonwealth was adopted by Commonwealth nations in December 2012. It is the first time the values of the Commonwealth have been captured in an enduring and consolidated document. As Commonwealth Chair-in-Office, Australia played a leading role in the development of the Charter.
About the Commonwealth
The Commonwealth is a unique grouping of 53 developed and developing nations (with one member, Fiji, currently suspended) spread over every continent and ocean in the world. It is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states of many religions, races, languages and cultures. Most of its members are republics. Its 2 billion people account for approximately 30 per cent of the world's population.
The promotion of human rights and democratic norms is an essential part of the Commonwealth's mandate. The Commonwealth has played a positive role in promoting good governance among member countries, consistent with the principles in the Harare Declaration of 1991. The Secretary-General has deployed his Good Offices for Peace in support of conflict prevention and resolution in countries as diverse as Bangladesh, Lesotho, Maldives, Sierra Leone, Fiji and Solomon Islands in recent years.
The Commonwealth has a well-recognised role in observing elections in Commonwealth countries and provides important assistance to member governments to enable them to implement recommendations made by observer groups.
The Commonwealth also assists member countries by developing, in consultation with them, best practice guidelines on administrative, judicial, regulatory and other matters; and responding to their requests for assistance with administrative reform in government and the reassessment of existing structures and systems.
In addition to the Commonwealth's activities in strengthening democratic processes and good governance, Australia has strongly supported an increased role for the Commonwealth in protecting human rights in member states, building on the Commonwealth's commitment to the rule of law. The shared common law traditions of most Commonwealth countries provide a sound basis for cooperation in legal and judicial assistance and capacity building. The Commonwealth supports activities, including strengthening the domestic human rights machinery of member states, the establishment of Ombudsmen's offices, workshops in such areas as criminal justice, administrative law and combating corruption, and implementation of international human rights conventions.
Key Commonwealth documents, including declarations, communiqués, statements and reports, speeches and strategic plans, can be found on the Commonwealth Secretariat website.
Australia is currently Chair-in-Office of the Commonwealth, a role it will hand over to Sri Lanka at the next CHOGM in November 2013.
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings (CHOGM)
Every two years, Commonwealth leaders meet at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) – the highest consultative and policy-making mechanism of the Commonwealth – to discuss global and Commonwealth issues, and to agree on collective policies and initiatives. CHOGM was last held in Perth in 2011 and will next be held in Sri Lanka in November 2013.
Commonwealth Leaders traditionally take the opportunity of their biennial meetings to review global political and economic developments and consider reports from the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group on the Harare Principles (CMAG) and the Ministerial Group on Small States. They give strategic guidance to the organisation and consider reports from a range of Commonwealth organisations and professional associations.
Commonwealth Heads of Government meetings also provide Commonwealth Leaders with a forum for informal exchanges and bilateral contact with restricted access for officials. For Australia, it gives us a substantive link and point of commonality with many countries with whom we otherwise have limited bilateral contact.
Commonwealth ministers from a range of portfolios meet between CHOGMs to consider specific issues relating to democracy, economics and development, women's affairs, youth, legal issues, health and education. These meetings are held in different Commonwealth countries each year and are chaired by the relevant minister from the host government.
2011 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Perth
The 2011 CHOGM was held in Perth, Western Australia, from 28 to 30 October 2011. It was preceded by the pre-CHOGM Commonwealth Foreign Ministers' Meeting held on 26 to 27 and 29 October and the Commonwealth and Developing Small States Meeting on 25 October, both chaired by then-Foreign Minister Rudd.
The theme for CHOGM 2011 was "Building National Resilience, Building Global Resilience". This provided the context for discussions by heads of government on social, political, economic and environmental resilience.
See the CHOGM 2011 Communiqué [PDF]
The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG)
The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group on the Harare Declaration is the most tangible expression of the Commonwealth's commitment to the fundamental democratic principles set out in the Harare Declaration of 1991.
It was established as a mechanism for the implementation of the measures set out in the Millbrook Plan of Action adopted by Commonwealth Heads of Government in 1995.
Reacting to the execution of opposition figures by the then Nigerian military regime during the Auckland CHOGM in 1995, Heads of Government established CMAG and mandated it to deal with serious or persistent violations of the Harare Principles. The Millbrook Plan of Action set out a range of measures that CMAG might take in response to such serious or persistent violations. These range from quiet diplomacy and statements of concern to suspension from the Commonwealth.
CMAG members are the Foreign Ministers of eight Commonwealth countries appointed by CHOGM for two-year terms. The Commonwealth Chair-in-Office is also represented on CMAG. Current CMAG members are: Australia (Chairperson-in-Office), Bangladesh, Canada, Jamaica, Maldives, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago and Vanuatu.
At CHOGM 2011 in Perth, Commonwealth leaders mandated CMAG reform, so that CMAG could play a more proactive role in supporting democracy in Commonwealth member states, rather than only reacting to serious violations of Commonwealth values.
Commonwealth membership
The modern Commonwealth of Nations bears little resemblance to the grouping from which it formally arose in 1931. The Commonwealth has its origins in the early nineteenth century when former colonies began to achieve Dominion status and became autonomous communities within the British Empire. They remained united by a common allegiance to the British Crown and freely associated as Members of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of independent states. Unlike other international organisations such as the United Nations, the Commonwealth has no Charter or comparable instrument that makes express provision for the admission of new members. New members of the Commonwealth, with one exception (Mozambique, which is surrounded by Commonwealth countries), have had a past constitutional association with an existing Commonwealth country, as colonies or protectorates or trust territories. This has become the established understanding governing admission to the Commonwealth.
Only independent states can become members of the Commonwealth. However, some territories linked with Commonwealth members states both contribute to and benefit from Commonwealth voluntary funds and programs. Representatives of such territories do from time to time attend Ministerial meetings as part of the delegation of the member government with which they are linked. From Australia's region this category includes Niue and the Cook Islands.
In considering guidelines on membership at the Edinburgh CHOGM in 1997, Leaders agreed that prospective members should comply with Commonwealth values, principles and priorities as set out in the 1991 Harare Declaration. CHOGM in Kampala in 2007 agreed on core criteria for membership including that an applicant country should, as a general rule, have had an historic constitutional association with an existing member, except in exceptional circumstances. Commonwealth membership also entails acceptance of Commonwealth practices and conventions, including the use of the English language as the medium of inter-Commonwealth relations and acceptance of the Commonwealth style of informality and consensus.
Commonwealth governance arrangements
The work of the Commonwealth is administered by a Secretariat based in London. The Secretariat is headed by a Secretary-General, Mr Kamalesh Sharma, previously India's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. The Secretary-General is supported by two Deputy Secretaries-General, responsible for the Secretariat's various programs.
A Board of Governors consisting of London-based Commonwealth High Commissioners meets annually in May to give strategic direction to the Secretariat on major policy issues, to review the implementation of CHOGM mandates and to approve strategic plans, work programmes and budgets.
An Executive Committee of the Board of Governors meets every quarter to oversee budgets and audit functions and make policy recommendations to the annual meetings of the Board of Governors. Membership of the Executive Committee is geographically balanced and includes the major contributors to the Commonwealth budgets, of which Australia is one.
The Commonwealth family
The Commonwealth's networks and interests range widely and include civil society, professional and parliamentary groups covering issues ranging from democracy, youth affairs, labour issues, gender equity, human rights, health and education. The following is a small sample of Commonwealth agencies and organisations.

- Commonwealth Local Government Forum
- The Commonwealth Local Government Forum aims to encourage participatory local government in Commonwealth countries through exchange of information and the strengthening of local capacity. CLGF has organised symposia and workshops on government issues in all regions of the Commonwealth and has launched a Commonwealth Local Good Practice Scheme to fund technical co-operation partnerships between local authorities.
- Commonwealth Medical Association
- The main aim of the Commonwealth Medical Association is to strengthen the capacity of national medical associations in developing countries to improve the health and well-being of their communities.

Comments about Kelty Sleep Well Airbed - Twin Size:
The first time I used this was for 5 nights of boat-in camping. It packed smaller than expected but still wouldn't consider this if I was hiking. Held the air and stayed firm all night, every night. I did reinflate after the first night as the initial strecth of the material left it not as firm as I liked. However, this was to be expected. Inflated and deflated quickly and there was no sign the battery was even close to running out of juice.

Montana State Defensive End, Caleb Schreibeis, who wasn't invited to the Montana East-West High School Shrine Game will get a chance to play in the National Collegiate Shrine Game. Schreibeis, who has already been named to the All American team and been chosen as the Buck Buchanan Award winner, signifying the best defensive player in the FCS will join the best college football players in the country for the January 19th All Star game in St. Petersburg, Florida. It will be an opportunity for Schreibeiss to measure his ability against the country's top defensive college players and show pro scouts how he's capable of playing.

The Book Booth is a weekly feature at The Political Carnival, relat
ing news, notes, and reflections from the world of books and publishing. SeattleDan, along with his wife, SeattleTammy, are operators of both an on-line bookstore, as well a brick and mortar in small town Washington State. Both have been in the book business since shortly after the Creation, or close to 6000 years now.
It is the weekend we honor and celebrate our mothers. And what better occasion to remind everyone, books make a great gift for the women who brought us into this world. My own mother was a voracious reader who helped teach me the joys of the printed word and the pleasures of reading.
My mother was great. However, literature is replete with some not so very good Moms. Jennifer Gilmore over at Publishers Weekly showcases some of the worst.
In other unpleasant news, you may have seen that Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, has had to go to court to regain her rights to the copyright. This item has been all over the place, but I first saw it at Talking Points Memo.
Ms. Lee's lawsuit tops the list of literary litigation over MentalFloss. And why am I not surprised that J.D. Salinger is included?
I believe I've mentioned before that as a young lad, I devoured comic books and a lot of literature was introduced to me through the great Classics Illustrated. So I am a fan of the graphic novel. The Beat recently posted an article on the five of the best to have been released in the past six months.
And I was not aware of this project but Joyce's Ulysses is getting an illustrated presence. Publishers Weekly has the story of the illustrator and his arrangement with the Joyce Center in Dublin.
The phenomenon of Showrooming was the subject of an article in the Seattle Times. I understand it and I loathe it. I wouldn't go so far as to charging customers for the privilege of browsing the the shelves. But I get the temptation some retailers have succumbed to.
PBS has a quiz asking which Shakespearian Character are You. It's kind of cute, or at least I thought it was, until I took it and discovered I was Rosalind from As You Like It. I don't see the resemblance.
In the Book Architecture Department, devianART had this interesting idea for a park bench.
And we always love new bookcase designs. Philly.com had some really great ideas recently. Enjoy!
A Happy Mothers Day to all you fine Moms. Keep reading and let us know what is on your nightstand this weekend.

Group B strep Short name for Group B streptococci. The most common cause of infection in newborn infants is GBS. About 7,000 infants are infected each year. Despite modern therapy, about 10-15% of infected infants die. Roughly 20% of all women in the U.S. harbor GBS in their birth canal at delivery. It is not a venereal disease nor is it a sign of ill health or poor hygiene.
Women who harbor GBS in their rectum or birth canal are considered 'colonized' with GBS. For most of these women, colonization causes no problems to either the mother or child. However,1-2% of colonized women deliver babies that develop serious infections. Unfortunately, it is hard to predict which babies born of colonized mothers will develop infection. The mother is often completely healthy and the pregnancy uncomplicated. Furthermore, infants can acquire this potentially deadly infection before birth and yet appear well or only slightly ill for the first few hours after birth.

Noticing a pattern yet? Six picks in and there have only been two different positions picked in the draft. Can you say "pass happy league"? Many believe that the Cleveland Browns were going to grab a cornerback, but they went with a pass rusher. With the No.6 pick in the draft, the Cleveland Browns picked LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo. Like the other two defensive ends in front of him, Mingo didn't show much in the stat column, but has tremendous athleticism and upside. The Cleveland Browns overhaul continues.

Driving a Lamborghini is not a poor man's pursuit. In fact there are few ways you can flaunt your wealth more emphatically than driving around in one of Sant'Agata's finest. But even among Lamborghinis, some are more expensive and exclusive than others. A new Gallardo, for example, will set you back around $200k, give or take, depending on which version you pick. An Aventador runs for nearly twice that at around $400k. But this latest model eclipses them both.
Whether you have a Lamborghini sitting in your garage or not, this strange table is certainly a unique way to show everyone your allegiance to the famed Italian auto brand.

Whatever it is that you're looking back on with fondness, snap out of it! A new year is nearly upon us and dwelling on the past isn't going to get you that new luxury sports car you've been eyeballing since its unveiling.... Read More
Fashion designers and luxury auto brands love putting their names on anything they can reach, from coloring books (I'm looking at you Hermès) to backgammon sets, and it seems only natural that they add luxury bicycles to their product lineups. From a business standpoint, it completely makes sense because a bike is certainly a much cheaper way to extend your brand than a car would be. Plus, there are endless customization possibilities, from special paint options to leather accessories, and consumers will ride around like a moving advertisement. Fashionistas have been eagerly snatching designer bikes up as the perfect style accents, matching their CHANEL purse with a sleek CHANEL bicycle, while car enthusiasts are able to flaunt the...

The Aventador, like the Murcielago and Diablo that came before, may grab most of the attention, but its the Gallardo that keeps the lights on at the Lamborghini factory in SantAgata Bolognese.

Hello everyone,
No amount of searching, wikireading or general exploring has gotten me any closer to a solution so im just gonna post here and ask.
I have a little testing grounds mission where i am just prodding around to get better at the editor, and i am trying to fire off a MLRS barrage at a target and then illuminate it with a mortar barrage, pref at about the same time.
I have physical batteries on the map that both do these things coordinated through triggers and the SOM Module, however i can only do one of them and then the other is locked out.
Is there a way around this? Possibly putting the mortar barrage in a different category or something? I could just refill the support with a script, but the thing is that i want just one mortar barrage and one MLRS barrage, not multiple.
Hope this makes some sense.

The Adriane desktop for the sight impaired
The Adriane audio desktop system delivers Linux to sightimpaired users.
Linux has many beautiful desktops, including rotating cubes, wobbly and burning windows, and mouse gestures for semi-automatic functions that do terribly smart things. Unfortunately, from the beginning of mouse-oriented computing, the graphical desktop has been designed for users who work within a visual context.
Consider, for example, a nicely configured KDE desktop with tidily sorted icons. If you switched off your monitor, would you be able to start your email client and read your mail? Most users wouldn't even be able to find the program icon without visual feedback, yet this is how a graphical desktop "looks" to blind people.

Moscow and Beijing call for calm
The heightened tensions have prompted North Korea's traditional allies, China and Russia, to urge the different sides to keep a lid on the situation.
"Moscow expects all parties to exercise as much responsibility and restraint as possible in light of North Korea's latest statements," the Russian foreign ministry said Saturday according to Russian state broadcaster Russia Today.
China, which expressed frustration over Pyongyang's most recent nuclear test, also called for calm.
"We hope relevant parties can work together to turn around the tense situation in the region," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Friday, describing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula as "a joint responsibility."
But the coming weeks appear laced with potential for more bouts of saber-rattling.
North Korean delegates are currently gathered in Pyongyang for the Supreme People's Assembly, the country's rubber stamp parliament.
And April 15 is the anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the nation's founder and the grandfather of Kim Jong Un. That day, the biggest national holiday in North Korea, is usually marked by large-scale parades.
Meanwhile, the U.S.-South Korean military exercises that have already stirred so much ire from the North are due to continue until the end of the month.
Some analysts have noted that Pyongyang has carried out some sort of military provocation within weeks of every South Korean presidential inauguration.
Park, the current president, took office on February 25, five weeks ago.
"You can't put it past them the idea that they are ... trying to establish a new equilibrium in which they are accepted as a nuclear weapons state," Victor Cha, former director of Asian affairs for the U.S. National Security Council and now a Georgetown University professor, said about North Korea.

Comments about Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion, Flash, .7 fl oz:
This is hands down the best highlighter Ive bought. I mixed it into my foundation which thinned out my full coverage foundation. Then I tapped artificial light (diffuse) on the tops of my cheekbones and it looks beautiful and glowing. I recently bouht MAC lustre drops for around the same price. Lustre drops doesnt even show up on my skin plus with artificial light you get so much more for your money. I recently started highlighting and contouring my makeup and I found exactly what I was looking for.

For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, Rackspace reported revenue of $336 million, up 27 percent from the same quarter last year, and up 5.3 percent from the previous quarter. It reported income for the quarter of $27 million, up 36 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and up 8.2 percent from the previous quarter.

"We're excited to report that the rollout of our new Open Cloud platform, built on OpenStack, is finally complete," Lanham Napier, CEO of Rackspace, said in a statement. "With the new products now in production, Rackspace offers a better, faster and more valuable cloud experience, built on an open platform that gives our customers true choice and control without the fear of being locked in to one vendor's technology."
During the quarter, Rackspace unveiled a suite of Open Cloud products, including Cloud Servers, Cloud Monitoring, Private Cloud Software and Critical Application Services to allow customers a choice of private, public or hybrid cloud platforms.
The San Antonio-based company also opened a data center in Sydney, Australia, and purchased Mailgun, which offers an email service that integrates cloud-based email services into applications and websites.
Technology Business Research analyst Jillian E. Mirandi said Rackspace's attempt to differentiate itself in the OpenStack market will lead to further gains.
"Rackspace's core cloud focus, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, is quickly becoming commoditized with limited options around product differentiation," she wrote in an analyst note Tuesday.
"In Rackspace's attempts to differentiate, it has shifted its cloud platform to open-source vendor OpenStack and has built in services, support and partner training around the platform," she added. "By offering services, support and partner training, Rackspace has the opportunity to take a leadership position around OpenStack where there are already many high-profile supporters including HP, IBM, Dell, Cisco and most recently, VMware, but not a lot of expertise."

EATON RAPIDS -- We're continuing our series on alternative medicine.
NBC25 talked to a Mid-Michigan man who says he burned up to 4,000 calories a day, dropping 42 pounds in 42 days.
It's called the HCG Diet, but for some the method is a little controversial.
"Losing weight is a daunting task when you need to do it," said 39-Year-Old Russell Ellis.
Three years ago Ellis hit 308 pounds.
Doctors told him he was on his way to being diabetic and having high blood pressure, when a friend recommended the HCG Diet.
"You lose weight and you lose it fast. You'll lose three or four pounds a day for the first few days," said Ellis.
As a 39 year old stay-at-home dad, Ellis was desperate to drop the pounds after knee replacement surgery.
"I knew I needed to lose weight so I could get out and do things with my kids, and chase the kids down," said Ellis.
Ellis did some research and decided to buy HCG powder on-line from a company in India, that way he could save some money in doctor's visits.
The powder is mixed with bacterial static water and injected into the thigh.
Ellis did this every day for 42 days.
"The HCG is actually burning the fat out of your body," said Ellis.
What's controversial is HCG is an extracted hormone from a pregnant woman's urine.
"It doesn't bother me. You know my friend that I learned of it was diabetic, and he was injecting lizard spit, so I guess it's better than lizard spit," said Ellis.
Ellis' wife Constance says she was skeptical at first, but when she noticed the sudden weight loss changed her mind.
"I think he looks great. I think he weighs less then when I met him back in 1993," said Constance Ellis.
On top of daily injections Ellis followed a strict diet.
For the first two days he stuffed himself.
"You know ice cream, cappuccinos," said Ellis.
For the rest of the cycle Ellis was only allowed to eat a maximum of 500 calories a day.
"Breakfast is liquid, you know I'd have coffee and for lunch, I'd have an apple and a four ounce piece of chicken," said Ellis.
Ellis says the HCG helped him not feel hungry and the side effects were minimal.
"I don't know what it was, but rarely do I get cold, and I got cold, it's weird," said Ellis.
After the cycle is complete, Ellis says there is a six week maintenance period.
This period lets the body reestablish metabolism at the new weight.
Today, he consumes about 2,800 calories a day, but stays away from carbs, starches and sugars.
Ellis has done the diet three times now, and has lost 85 pounds since January.
Unless you have a fear of needles, he recommends the diet to anyone looking to lose 20 pounds or more.
HCG also comes in liquid form, but Ellis says he's heard it's not as effective.
The Federal Drug Administration doesn't approve HCG for any reason unless for fertility treatment.
The FDA also doesn't recognize it as a homeopathic drug and warns many HCG products on the internet are fraud.

HOUGHTON -- Metallic green beetles may be exotic in nature, but they're not wanted here in the U.P.
A team of Michigan Tech forest researchers is in their second year of working to eliminate the infestation of the Emerald Ash Borer. The team is now ready to collect the purple prism traps they've hung on ash trees across the Keweenaw this summer. The sticky traps hold an aroma to help lure the harmful beetles. "The flight season is over so there's no more adults flying," said Andrew Storer, a professor at the Forestry Department at MTU. "We're going to take down the purple traps to see whether we have Emerald Ash Borer on them."
Researchers have already spotted some Emerald Ash Borer activity. Once the trap is down, all insect activity goes into a container for further examination.
"At the end of the year, we'll have a revised distribution map of where the insect is and also some indication of how much there is in a particular area based on how many we catch on a trap," Storer said. And as I learned, the beetle isn't the easiest to spot with the untrained eye. Their D-shaped bodies can easily be mistaken for any other insect. But they're best known for killing the ash trees in our areas. Examining the 433 traps will show the population density of the insect. "That will then help us for the following season to guide management activity, be it making biological control releases, selectively removing trees if they're heavily infested or in a heavily infested area," Storer said.
Data from the traps is expected in several weeks.

Excellent work, James. I think your Batman characters are great (even though they are very Dave Rapoza, which I guess is a compliment!).
It's inspiring to see someone improve so much, as it shows us all that hard work pays off in the end. How did you improve in your time away from here, was it just constant daily practice or following tutorials etc? I know some people have asked this too but I didn't see a response. Cheers.

Post subject: Hi livelife22
I'm new too so thought I would say hi. Don't worry too much about not being pregnant after 5 months, it took me over 9 months before I hit the jackpot and a pregnancy never entered my thoughts. After that there was no stopping pregnancies!. I was a young mum and time is one of the most important things on your side Trying seems to ruin the magic so just have fun and don't stress. I'm on here post reversal operation. Long and boring story and even though I'm now in the mindset of becoming a mum again I won't be 'trying' just enjoying intimate times with my husband and letting nature decide whether it's meant to be.
