Cluster bombs on offer at arms fair despite sales ban
Wednesday 14 September 2005
Cluster bombs are being offered for sale at an arms fair in London, The Independent has discovered, despite assurances by the organisers, that the weapon would not be marketed at the event.
Denel, the South African company, confirmed yesterday at the show being held at the Excel Centre in Docklands, that it made and supplied the cluster weapons.
Cluster submunitions are colourful, about the size of a soft-drinks can, and they often attract the attention of children. Unicef, the United Nations children's organisation, has reported that more than 1,000 children were injured by unexploded ordnance, including cluster bombs, after the official end of the Iraq war in 2003; 13,000 cluster bombs had been used by UK and US forces in Iraq that year.
Gyfford Fitchat, the executive manager for business development at Denel, said the company produced a 155 millimetre shell that disperses 42 bomblets in the air above the target. The artillery shell had a range of 25 miles, he said. "There are no restrictions on selling these, except that we need approval from our government. But I believe we would only export them to stable, mature sort of countries," Mr Fitchat said.
He saidthe weapon, which was not on display, was designed to work against tanks but he conceded it would also inflict injuries on any people in the target area. The bomblets rain down on an area of about 200 metres by 200 metres, he said.
The revelation will be a huge embarrassment for the Government, which helps organise the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEi) gathering that started yesterday. It will also be a blow to the British publisher Reed Elsevier, which puts on the biennial event, the world's biggest arms fair.
Cluster bombs are not illegal but their use has been condemned by humanitarian organisations, such as Human Rights Watch. The likelihood of casualties among civilians, due to their wide dispersal pattern and frequent inaccuracy, is high. Many of the bomblets fail to explode on reaching the ground, so they pose a continuing danger.
Mike Lewis, of the Campaign Against Arms Trade, said bomblets worked in the same way as landmines, which have been outlawed under the Ottawa Convention. "The fact that a company is willing to offer a weapon [at DSEi] that is so destructive and internationally reviled is a reflection of how little arms companies are conscious of the humanitarian implications of their products," he said.
Officially the trade fair does not allow cluster bombs to be promoted at the event. Paul Beaver, spokesman for the DSEi, declared: "They [cluster bombs] are not here, not for sale and not even a topic of conversation." On being told that at least one company was willing to sell the weapons at the fair, he said: "I'm surprised you have found that, but you have to remember they are not illegal. There are far worse weapons, you know."
The taxpayer picks up a substantial bill for the event - for the policing, for the British armed forces personnel and warships made available for demonstrations, and for foreign delegations put up at the taxpayers' expense. A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said action would be taken against any exhibitor selling illegal weapons, but added cluster munitions did not fall into this category.
Reed Elsevier - the owner of the DSEi exhibition - is also one of the world's foremost science publishers. Ahead of the event, one of its most prestigious medical titles, The Lancet, denounced Reed's connection with the arms trade. The journal said in an editorial that cluster bombs - "the worst kind of weapon" - would be represented at the fair. "Our owners are engaged in a business that so clearly undermines not only principles of public-health practice, but also the policies of intergovernmental agencies," The Lancet said in an editorial.
According to the Campaign Against Arms Trade, more than a dozen makers of cluster bombs, including BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin are at DSEi. But only Denel was prepared to talk about the weapon at the event.
A cruel weapon
Many cluster bombs do not explode on impact. The small, brightly coloured bomblets lie like anti-personnel mines, tempting children. While considered an effective weapon by many Nato governments, the bombs are opposed by groups such as the Red Cross. They remain a daily danger in Laos and southern Vietnam, as well as Kosovo and Iraq. During the US's military campaign in Afghanistan, its forces faced a problem after humanitarian rations dropped from airplanes were found to have the same yellow coloured packaging as unexploded cluster bomblets.

First I'd like to say: THANKS FOR A GREAT PROJECT! It's the best thing out there, and with the new transcoding release, it does everything I want. The only thing I'd want more would be fastforward while it transcodes...but I release that's pretty much just impossible.
What I would like would be to hide the empty parent directories of a shared directory. For instance:
I share /media/array/hosted and it shows /media and /media/array, which are blank. I want it ONLY to show hosted.
I know there is an option to hide PC Directory, but then that just leaves me with Video, which is a random mashup of all files in the database.
I'm sure this should be pretty easy to do. Any ideas?

Might not be as easy as you think, since the folder can contain dozens of files that the current media renderer does not understand.

6.5 million for digital pathology
A project for digital pathology under the management of LiU and Sectra, the medical technology company, will receive continued support from VINNOVA and SEK 6.5 million for two years. The objective is to make Swedish pathology a world leader in digitisation for increased effectiveness and heightened quality of care.
Diagnostic pathology is of crucial significance for medical care in Sweden and the world. For example, medical care for cancer is entirely dependent on rapid, precise analyses of tissue samples (histopathology). There is, however, a major shortage of pathologists at the same time as the volume and demand are increasing as a result of an ageing population and more specialised diagnostics. Digitising pathology, together with more pathologists, is a condition for managing future demand.
Apart from its introduction into clinical activities, the "Optimerade flöden och IT-verktyg for digital patologi" project (Optimised flow and IT tools for digital pathology) will also continue to work out new, innovative tools through strong collaboration between care providers and universities.
The project will be run by a consortium, with the Spectra medical technology company at its head. Other project partners are CMIV/Linköping University; Equalis; the Gävleborg, Örebro, Värmland, Västmanland, Dalarna, Östergötland, Norrbotten, Jönköping and Stockholm county councils; Sahlgrenska University Hospital; Unilabs; LRI Instrument AB; and Interactive Institute Swedish ICT.
The subsidy, which has now been granted, is part of the "Utmaningsdriven innovation" (Challenge-driven innovation) programme. The digital workflow and tools that will be introduced into clinical operation were developed in earlier VINNOVA-finances research projects by the same consortium.

IRVING, TX and SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - July 23, 2014) - NEC Corporation of America (NEC), a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation and leading provider and integrator of advanced IT, networking and communications solutions, and Meru Networks® (NASDAQ: MERU), a leader in intelligent Wi-Fi networking, today announced an agreement through which the two companies will work together to create software-defined network (SDN)-enabled unified wired and wireless enterprise access networking solutions. The two companies are collaborating on support for OpenFlow™ to enable seamless interoperability between the NEC ProgrammableFlow® Networking Suite and Meru 802.11ac intelligent Wi-Fi solutions.
NEC and Meru, both members of the Open Networking Foundation (ONF), are two of only three vendors worldwide to have received ONF conformance for their networking solutions. ONF members, including NEC and Meru, are collaborating with companies around the world to bring open networking solutions to market and are in the vanguard of innovation in SDN solution development. The ONF Certificate of Conformance gives customers confidence that they are purchasing current technology that accurately implements a particular version of OpenFlow -- the only globally-recognized specification for SDN.
The BYOD phenomenon and upcoming explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT) are pressuring IT departments to become more agile. However, most networks today are being managed using antiquated proprietary Command Line Interfaces (CLI). Open-standards-based SDN support simplifies network management and provisioning by enabling greater automation and accelerating the deployment of new applications and services. It also enables application-specific service level agreements (SLAs) and development of third-party applications for network traffic monitoring, location-based services and enhanced security.
The benefits that SDN provides in the data center, including network traffic optimization and lower cost of ownership, have been widely recognized, with large cloud-based service providers broadly adopting SDN switches. Realization of its benefits in the enterprise has grown recently, as wireless has become the primary method of network access.
"Meru and NEC share a vision for creating truly open networks through OpenFlow and SDN that allow customers to choose best-of-breed networking solutions," said Dr. Bami Bastani, president and CEO of Meru. "Working together, we can set a new standard for vendor interoperability, increasing agility and lowering costs for our customers as they move into the open networking era."
"NEC and Meru are taking a leadership position in the networking industry by working together to drive adoption of open standards," said Mitsuhiro Murooka, vice president, strategic business and planning, NEC Corporation of America. "Customers today want flexibility in networking vendor selection, along with the ability to manage those assets in the way that best suits their specific needs. The combination of our technologies, bound together by OpenFlow and SDN, addresses their requirements completely."

News and Analysis
Study: Electricity Cost Increases Lower Manufacturing ProductivityNovember 21, 2014
A recent study by Cleveland State University shows that an increase in energy costs have a direct effect in lowering manufacturing productivity.
The study finds: "An increase in the industrial electricity price by 1 cent per kilowatt-hour is likely, in 99% of cases, to decrease average manufacturing productivity in the five selected states,4 on average, by $2,527 of annual gross state product per employee. The productivity change associated with the industrial electricity price change has low elasticity: 2.2%/16.3%=0.13. The measure of elasticity below 1 is known as inelastic response. This means that for 1% increase of industrial electricity prices, manufacturing productivity drops by 0.13%."
The OMA has submitted the study to state and federal officials to demonstrate the likely effect of electricity cost increases caused by proposed environmental regulation: less productivity, less economic output, fewer jobs.
Is the Electricity Grid Ready for Winter?November 21, 2014
PJM's president and CEO, Terry Boston, says it is.
The publication Platt's reports: "Transmission enhancements within PJM allow the grid operator to move power within its region better than a year ago, and improved coordination among generators and natural gas pipelines should ease gas supply concerns of some generators, Boston said…
With winter approaching, "we're in much better shape than last year," including the addition of dual-fuel capabilities at some power plants, Boston said. Adding the ability to burn fuel oil or some other fuel at a gas-fired power plant probably is less expensive for plant owners than signing firm gas supply contracts to ensure the facilities will be available during winter peak demand season, he said."
Upcoming FERC Meetings in Ohio to Scope Rover Pipeline ProjectNovember 21, 2014
At the November meeting of the OMA Energy Committee, members heard a presentation by Gretchen Krueger of Energy Transfer Company, the developer of the Rover Pipeline project. The project will transport natural gas through Ohio from the Utica and Marcellus region.
Federal government approval is necessary for the project. This week the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) began a series of public scoping meetings in Ohio and other affected states.
As the project will be an economic boon for Ohio, manufacturers are encouraged to attend a hearing and/or offer written comment. This FERC public notice contains the calendar of upcoming field hearings, including Defiance on December 2, New Washington on December 3, and Navarre on December 4.
Contact OMA's Ryan Augsburger for more information or assistance on how to participate in the comment process.
Legislative Energy Study Committee to MeetNovember 21, 2014
Chairmen Sen. Troy Balderson (R – Zanesville) and Rep. Peter Stautberg (R – Cincinnati) this week issued a public notice convening the "Energy Mandates Study Committee" on Monday, November 24, 2014.
The committee was created by SB 310 which passed earlier this session and is comprised of state representatives and state senators. It is charged with studying Ohio's renewable energy, energy efficiency, and peak demand reduction mandates. A presentation by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio is planned.
Millions in "MGP" Costs Might be Passed to Consumers SoonNovember 14, 2014
Together with the Ohio Consumers' Counsel and Kroger, the OMA is in litigation appealing a Public Utility Commission of Ohio decision to allow Duke Energy to collect millions of dollars from customers for old, long out of use "manufactured gas plants" (MGPs).
The Supreme Court of Ohio has issued a ruling that requires the appellant to post a bond in the amount of $2,506,295 with the Clerk of the Court in order to continue a stay of collections. If the appellants fail to post the bond by November 15, 2014, the stay will be lifted and Duke will begin to collect from customers $55.5 million in costs associated with the MGPs.
Duke would continue collections until such time as the litigation is concluded, sometime next year.
Meanwhile, rumors are afloat in the Statehouse that utilities are looking for a lame duck amendment that would statutorily allow for collections of these (useless to customers) MGP costs.
OMA: Make Electricity Bill Rider Cost Disclosures "Apples to Apples"November 7, 2014
The OMA Energy Group, a subsidiary membership group of the OMA, this week filed comments to a proposed Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) rule concerning disclosure to customers of the costs of renewable energy resource, energy efficiency savings, and peak demand reduction requirements. The energy group urges the PUCO to assure that disclosures are true "apples to apples" comparisons, in order to inform consumer decision-making.
The comments note: "The energy efficiency/peak demand reduction (EE/PDR) riders have historically shown extreme volatility in some utility territories. This illustrates that the EE/PDR rider reflects recovery of compliance costs, not actual compliance costs. The difference between recovery of rider amounts and actual compliance costs is not insignificant to consumers. EE/PDR riders have shown to have spiked (most notably in FirstEnergy's service territories in fall 2012), followed by declines so steep they often result in credits to consumers (again, most notably in FirstEnergy's service territories in early 2013)."
"The rider spikes and crashes affect consumer decisions. For example, anecdotally, many mercantile customers were informed of 2012 rider spikes and encouraged by some utilities and consultants to self-direct projects to gain rider exemption, only to forego the coming credits in 2013. Customers acting on the price signal of a rider spike may have lost revenue," wrote the energy group.

AMERICAN MENTORS: Timeline to Economic Inclusion
Last week we started some asset mapping of brick and mortar in America's birthplace. We've been looking for ways to sustain community building efforts and reverse what the president termed, a "gulf of mistrust." Whether or not you agree, bridging that gulf of mistrust and ENGAGING historically disadvantaged Americans is going to take a little more money reinvested where you live, learn, work and worship. This week, your American Mentors are in Philadelphia hoping to re-point us to some goals and achievements for ONE NATION UNDER GOD. One of those goals is to ensure ALL youth are safe from violent crime. It is coincidentally, one of the goals of the President's My Brother's Keeper initiative. We'll be taking a look from an economic security lens, so fasten your seatbelt as we embark on a TIMELINE TOECONOMIC INCLUSION.

In 2013, fourteen of the top 30 global brands by market capitalization were platform-oriented companies—companies that created and now dominate arenas in which buyers, seller, and a variety of third parties are connected in real time. These leaders include companies such as Akamai, LinkedIn, Airbnb and Uber. (See our earlier blog posts on Airbnb and Uber).
Of those brands, Uber in particular is known for its use of dynamic pricing—price fluctuations driven by supply and demand. For example, on a rainy Saturday night, Uber may raise its fares because its drivers are in high demand and more consumers opt for car services over public transportation or a walk in the rain. Why is this not considered price gouging, you ask? Because Uber is transparent about their dynamic model—the app alerts users that the current rate is higher than usual, and by how much, giving the consumer the option to decline and find alternate means of transportation.
As Uber investor and board member Bill Gurley points out in his blog post on Uber's dynamic pricing model, this strategy is not new. Hotels, airlines, and rental car companies have long relied on dynamic pricing. This is why your flight during the Thanksgiving holiday will cost more than a plane ticket purchased almost any other time of year.
Of course, dynamic pricing can also benefit the consumer. Hotels loathe empty rooms. The same pricing model that raises the rates on some days also allows hotels to offer last-minute deals to fill inventory. And in those cases, the consumer wins.

If your musical career began in underground clubs, it's safe to say you've jumped the shark when you release a compilation of your own remixes. Oakenfold's been filling large venues for years, but the distance from the dance floor has resulted in some serious distance from the very real talent he's displayed over the years. He starts with his track "Starry Eyed Surprise," which was used in a series of Diet Coke commercials. The big surprise is the nice segue to his remix of the Happy Mondays track "Step On." Make no mistake: There's some good work on this CD; his remixes on Justin Timberlake's "My Love" and "Sorry" by Madonna are solid, as is his work on "Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas, from a Mitsubishi commercial. And his own work isn't bad, like "Faster Kill Pussycat" with Brittany Murphy. Unfortunately, it's not enough to save us from questionable remixes of the likes of U2 or Smashing Pumpkins. When taken in total, the right place for this CD is back in its case.

• Social relationships and social differences: topics include: social inequality, gender and ageing, the role of religion, inter-generational ties, social networks, and friendships in later life.
• Individual characteristics and change in later life: chapters in this section examine different aspects of individual aging, including self and identity, cognitive processes, and biosocial interactions and their impact on physical and psychological aging.
• Comparative perspectives and cultural innovations: topics in this section include: ageing and development, ageing in a global context, migration, and cross-cultural perspectives on grandparenthood.
• Policy issues: The final section examines some of the main policy concerns affecting older people across the world. Topics include: developments in social policy, long-term care, technology and older people, end of life issues, work and retirement, crime and older people, and the politics of old age.
This will be essential reading for all students, researchers and policy-makers concerned with the major issues influencing the lives of older people across the globe.less
