Notes from the Manager
You can read up a little about Netflix splitting off its DVD arm into "Qwikster" over at NPR. (Qwikster sounds like a chocolate milk delivery service, doesn't it?)
EDIT (10/10/11): It looks like Netflix has cancelled its plans to spin off its DVD arm into a separate company now.
Do you have Netflix? What do you think about this split, or are you still just pissed about the price hikes they tried to pass off as good news a while back?
Personally, I think the selection on Netflix Instant is pretty good, although mostly for TV shows like Breaking Bad and Louie, which I'm trying to get caught up for, and a bit less so for movies. While they lack a lot of popular movies, they still have a lot of good movies — and for someone like me, who doesn't much care if a movie is popular or not, that's plenty. Sadly, it's constantly changing, so a lot of my favorites that I've found on there aren't up there anymore, like the Carlos mini-series (although they have the 3-hour movie cut) and Animal Kingdom.
It's an understandable shortcoming (they don't have an unlimited budget for programming), but it also makes it kind of hard to endorse the service when my favorite examples of good movies they still have on there aren't there anymore.

Tell me a story. (Looking for a prose writer for an eBook single.)
Sunday, March 29, 2015
I want to take a foray into electronic publishing.
I am looking for a (prose) writer to provide a short story, novella or non-fiction story that I will turn into an iBooks-formatted eBook for sale (in the iBookstore), released under my Chase Sequence publishing imprint. Chase Sequence published Multiplex: There and Back Again, which won the 2014 IPBA Gold Medal for Best Graphic Novel/Drawn Book–Humor/Cartoon, so technically it is an award-winning publisher.
There is no limitation with regard to genre, but I will say that my taste in prose leans strongly toward literary fiction and non-fiction, and toward characters, psychology, and well-written prose over plot. (Margaret Atwood is my favorite writer.)
What to Submit: A pitch for a 30+ page, prose short story/novella/non-fiction piece. No comics — no picture books. If you have already written the short story, great, but it must be previously unpublished. Please include links or URLs to a resumé and examples of previous published work would be helpful, to give me a feel for your voice.
Send questions (or submissions) to gordon at multiplexcomic.com.
The Terms: No money up front, but 50% of the cover price in exchange for one year of exclusivity (from the date of publication). The writer retains all other rights to their story. These will be sold via iBooks only (at least at first), which means that Apple will get 30% and I will get 20% for my contributions: I will edit the story; I will design and produce the eBook; I will illustrate a cover for it (or hire someone else to, if I'm not the best fit for the story); I will help promote it.
Please submit your pitch before April 30, 2015. I will notify the selected writer(s) I am interested in working with as soon as possible after that.

I've been using a Lacie terabyte drive for the last couple of months to backup data on one of our Macs. My wife now has a new MBP and I'd like to know if I can backup data from both our existing MBP as well as her new MBP or will I need to get a separate backup drive for the new Mac? I'm afraid to plug in the new MBP for fear that it will prompt the Lacie drive to reformat itself. Thanks in advance for your help.
Nothing in either of your Macs would automatically format a disk without informing you first and presenting you with the option of cancelling said action. Yes, you can use a single disk to back up two Macs, given that they do not share a common computer name. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=405606 Be aware that if you have a multi-interface external drive (one with USB, eSATA, FW400 and FW800 or some combination therein) that the drive can only be hooked up to one computer at a time. You can't "get tricky with it" and connect the MBP to the USB port and the other computer to a FireWire port -- they don't work that way -- so you'll have to keep drive use independent and mutually exclusive between the computers. A typical backup procedure would look something like this: 1) Connect Time Machine disk to computer 1 via USB/Firewire/eSATA. 2) Time Machine does its thing. 3) Properly unmount/eject the Time Machine disk from computer 1 4) Connect Time Machine disk to computer 2 via USB/Firewire/eSATA 5) Time Machine does its thing. 6) Properly unmount/eject the Time Machine disk from computer 2 7) Repeat until your wife stops you
Thanks, Diablo, So, just to confirm, if I attach the new MBP via firewire like I do now with our family MBP, I can backup data to the same device (albeit not at the same time as the 15" MBP) without worrying that the data from the 13" MBP is going to overwrite the existing 15" machine's backups?
Yes. If you use the Finder to browse the Time Machine backup disk, you'll see that there is a single folder at the root of the drive entitled "Backups.backupdb". If you open that folder, you should see another single folder that's titled with the name of your family MBP. If you elect to use this disk with another Mac, then Time Machine will simply create another folder alongside the existing computer-named folder with the new computer's name, and it will keep all backups related to that machine inside of that folder -- segregated, mutually exclusive, and "invisible" to the other MBP. Essentially, each computer will have its own folder for backups. You can see where two computers named the same thing would screw this process up -- they would each point to the same folder. Before continuing, ensure that each machine has a unique name. Simply plug the drive into the new MBP, and you'll be prompted with a dialog box that asks if you want to use the drive you just connected as a Time Machine backup drive. Say "yes," and you're off to the races. Oh, I haven't tried this personally, but I would believe that you would need at least as much free space on the Time Machine drive as the size of the data on the new computer to be backed up initially, for the first Time Machine backup.

still doesnt make it any less bitter when your FC mates are all getting theirs in decent time while your still just trying to get the 1.
still doesnt make it any less bitter when your FC mates are all getting theirs in decent time while your still just trying to get the 1.
You wouldn't be here complaining to SE if it dropped pretty well for you. FATE is part of the game, so it's content. I'm actually making some good money gathering all these seals and using for 2 star items. Craft them to the HQ item, sell them for good gil. You can get pretty rich playing it that way.
Even though RNG does suck, here is a bit of probability.
To find out approximately how many FATEs you would have to do in order to be guaranteed an Atma (assuming the drop rate is 1%), first you have to find out the percentage chance of you NOT getting an Atma.
For example if you do 100 FATEs, the odds of you not getting an Atma is 0.99 (99%)^100 (or the number of FATEs attempted). This gives you 0.366. or a 36.6% chance of you not getting an Atma in the first 100 FATEs, or a 1 in 3 chance.
In order to reduce this chance of not getting an Atma close to 0, you would have to do 475 FATEs approximately per region to essentially be guaranteed an Atma (0.99^475 = 0.0084 or 0.8% chance). I certainly hope NO one is that unlucky to fall within that 0.8% chance, but if you guys want a basic number of FATEs you have to do, it will be 99.2% certain to be no more than 475 FATEs per region, or 5700 FATEs overall for all 12.
Now whether all that grinding is worth it is up to you.
Nobody's asking for it to be easy, we just want the RNG removed or mitigated a bit so that anyone can complete it in about the same amount of time, with about the same amount of effort. You seriously think that your 12 hours to get one drop vs. someone else's 12 hours to get 12 drops is okay? If you ask me, those lucky people got theirs way too easily and didn't have to work enough, while at least an equal amount of people are having to work 10x more, which is way too much. There is a middle ground, I just wish they'd given it to us.
What they SHOULD have done, is to make the first part of the quest, not the soul destroying fates, but a book like the 2nd part.
Do a quest line, get a book with a list of stuff to do which then leads you on to the 9 other books. No RNG, no frustration, lots of new stuff to do...win win situation.
Then nobody else should, either.
It's like you didn't even read what I said.
The way it is now, people DO have it easy (like YOU for example) while others get shafted. This should be time consuming for EVERYONE, not just people who happen to be unlucky.
This guy doesn't read either. SMH.
Says someone who already got theirs, in a reasonable amount of time. I give up trying to reason with selfish people who don't care about anyone but themselves.

I like that they added the RNG for these items. Gives me something to do while none of my friends are online. It also gives me a happy feeling of acomplishment when i get an Atma. I am trying to get around 1 per day, and i am @ 4/12 so far. Before the last update, i had my ilvl90 and was geting bored. Now, there is plunty to do and i am not in a rush to get max gear. This is a game and why does everyone want the best gear on DAY1. Work for it people.
Others are always going to get shafted, no matter what it is.... So far SE has replied nothing on doing anything, no point complaining to something that isn't even the best yet. SE doesn't want you to spend your life on trying to get Atmas. there is turn 6-9 which has the greatest weapon. You could be going there, instead of whining on the forums because of Atma drop rate. The next upgrade doesn't even come out till May... Likely won't even beat the High Allagan till 3.0 upgrade release in June...
You can get content that ends in a month or last enough for 3 months, deal with it.

Wow, congratulation Jammin...:confetti

Oh, and does it mean also that "modding the Manhwa main board" refers to being my supervisor/boss, in that case be nice to me...:)

Nothing much to add, since I practically don't know you. But I could use some photographs and porn stuff from you (?)
Another warm welcome, thanks everyone! I will aspire to be a borderline competent moderator.
Though I'm not really sure how this happened. One minute I was turning down Phio's request to take over the gaming news, because it seemed like too much work, the next thing I knew I was agreeing to moderate two forum sections....I think I got scammed....

text: The exact origin of the virus in humans is unclear. Scientists surmise that it jumped from an animal population. In 1999 an international team of genetic scientists reported that HIV-1 can be traced to a closely related strain of virus, called simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), that infects a subspecies of chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) in Western central Africa .Chimpanzees are hunted for meat in this region, and it is believed the virus may have passed from the blood of chimpanzees into humans through superficial wounds, probably in the early 1930's. Other scientists believe that the virus may have come from an African monkey or chimpanzees, to humans by a bite or eating.

Jay-Z sensed skepticism in the furrowed brows of the Def Jam bigwigs, but he came prepared. His only hobbies of late-- basketball and high-stakes poker-- had left him time to think, and he felt confident that his latest project, Operation: Female Demographic, would bring in the easy cheddar:
Russell Simmons: So, you finally came to announce the signing of Common and Mos Def, right? It took you long enough but I'm glad you...
Jay-Z: Naw, Russell, ain't nothin' like that. This is better.
Lyor Cohen: Tell me he's white!
Jay-Z: Sorry, pal. Two guys from Philly.
Simmons: Okay, what they got?
Jay-Z: Well... let's say they're the latest in Rocafella technology: We've combined the repetition of Beanie Sigel, the exaggerated cadence of Freeway, the incredibly boring street lyrics of Memphis Bleek, and the completely nonsensical constant-rhyme style of Cam'ron.
Cam'ron: I also have my own cologne.
Simmons: What's your marketing plan? How you gonna sell this?
Jay-Z: Surely, it sells itself! I mean, come on, they sound like all of my proteges combined and-- get this-- they are young!
Simmons: You've made me far too much money to say no to you. Whatever.
Later, at Baseline Studios, Jay assists his boys in cutting their first record. Even early on, the Philly duo thought the plan seemed a bit strange...
Young Chris: So why exactly is the album called Tough Luv? I mean, first off, I'm a very non-violent individual and I feel as if love is something that is only experienced once. On the real, Dr. Phil said...
Jay-Z: Nigga, fuck Dr. Phil! Your motivation on this record is as follows: You want to fuck every girl that you see and you are murderous. Basically, just sound like someone a dad wouldn't want to see his little girl out with.
Young Chris: This'll truly be an adventure! I haven't worked in a musical in months!
Dissention comes between the group during a discussion about the record's progress around the midway point...
Neef: I don't care who this Juelz guy is. When he says, "I been laying the pipe in every lady, I liked up in the 80s/ My life is really crazy, I been like this since the 80s," it doesn't make any fucking sense! He's only 19! Does that mean he was a four-year-old pimp, with a gold-plated high seat and a three-wheeler with 24-inch rims?
Young Chris: Kids is growin' up faster every generation.
Neef: And dude, you've been sleepwalkin' through this album. Come on, "Baby, it's the Roc/ I'm the baby from the Roc," is detrimental to the violent image we need to portray. "They're lacking heat like Bermuda?" And, "Your pigeons ain't risin', man/ It's like you're lactose tolerant," I mean, I know what you were going for, but... seriously, man, you have a pretty nice flow, but I feel like you're not even trying sometimes!
Young Chris: Listen, you got problems, too: "In order to fuck mine, you gotta suck me off first"? Do you know what you're saying half the time? Besides, don't matter what we're saying, our fans are gonna be bored with this album in like two weeks anyway. Every guest emcee makes us look like assholes. Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel and Freeway are way too good to be on songs with us. Shit, Cam'ron says "Stolen cable, still got the chip in box/ Still got the clip and glock, FEEL LIKE THE CHICKEN POX" and still manages to steal that song from us.
Damon Dash: Don't forget about Chingy on the "Can't Stop Won't Stop" remix! That's some gold on there. But Neef, you don't seem too happy about your paycheck! It's fine, you'll be easily replaced. I think I hear a dice game down the block...
Neef: Whoa, hold up, boss. I don't mean to disrespect or nothin', but have you heard these beats? This "Take It How U Want It" song sounds like "Braveheart Party". That shit was so bad, it got taken off Stillmatic! We're supposed to be the answer to Nas, you know? And "That's Right" has that awful, high-pitched piano roll. Sounds like Andrew W.K. playing the Halloween song. I don't even know who Chad Hamilton is! To be honest, I'm feelin' that "$$$ Girls" song with the Halls & Oates sample, but I mean, if I had my way, I'd just have the shit done by Just Bl...
Damon Dash: Bitch, you ain't got your way. Keep making those hits, baby! [does signature dance while holding bottle]
On the set of the "No Better Love" video, the director gives the boys some helpful hints...
Director: Hey you! Shorter one! When I say "Walk Like a Panther" I don't mean walk like a pussy! And other one, you don't like you could take 14 Shots to the Dome, I'd even say you were far from Bad! Why are your shirts on?!
Young Chris: [sighs] I can't even believe this is how I'm paying my way through the dance institute. I should've never came to the blunt spot with you that night, Neef.
Neef: Whatever, hug that girl tighter. I gotta look warm and inviting, yet intimidating.
The video is released. Enter two young girls...
Katie: What do you think of Young Gunz? They're masculine, yet sensitive! One of them offers to be my mother, my father, my brother and my sister. As an orphan, this proposition is quite interesting.
Lisa: Do they really think I'm this stupid?
Katie: Obviously.

Coherent optical signal transferring on request by use of a BaTiO3 crystal
Applied Optics, Vol. 39, Issue 35, pp. 6656-6662 (2000)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (5330 KB)
We demonstrate experimentally a setup with which a two-dimensional picture can be transmitted from one plane to another at a signal request of the latter plane and the original picture continues to propagate unhindered along its original direction to the next stage. The setup makes use of photorefractive four-wave mixing and the self-pumped phase conjugation for its operation. Some means for increasing the contrast of the final transmitted image have been discussed.

Tories stay mum on U.S. spy role in Canada
Defence Minister Rob Nicholson refuses to comment on revelations that Ottawa allowed a U.S. spy agency to conduct surveillance during 2010 G20 summit.
OTTAWA—So just what were the espionage experts from the U.S. National Security Agency doing on Canada soil as world leaders huddled for the G20 summit?
Pressed for answers Thursday, Defence Minister Rob Nicholson refused to say or explain the role played by Canadian Security Establishment Canada, the NSA's Canadian counterpart and apparent host in June 2010.
"We cannot comment on specific foreign intelligence activities or capabilities. Under law, this organization is prohibited from targeting Canadians," Nicholson told the Commons.
"Furthermore, CSEC cannot ask our international partners to act in a way that circumvents Canadian laws."
NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair shot back, "We know it is not allowed to ask . . . . The question is this: Did it respect the law."
CBC News reported Wednesday that the Conservative government allowed the NSA to conduct a six-day operation, using the U.S. embassy in Ottawa as a base as foreign leaders and delegates arrived in Ontario for the G8 and G20 summits in 2010.
The U.S. plans were "closely co-ordinated with the Canadian partner" — CSEC, according to documents cited in the CBC report.
On Thursday, the man at the centre of the revelation questioned whether the Conservative government had allowed the NSA to operate in Canada to do the kind of domestic espionage Canadian agencies are barred from doing.
"I think because of these legal issues, it seems like there was a deliberate choice to let the NSA take the lead," Glenn Greenwald told the Star.
Greenwald, a Brazil-based journalist, helped report this week's revelation using documents acquired by Edward Snowden, a former contractor at the NSA turned whistleblower.
Canada is a member of the so-called Five Eyes, an intelligence alliance which also includes the U.S, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Greenwald said it's a question whether the alliance partners rely on each other for domestic spying.
"Each of the Five Eyes partners has legal constraints on what they can do domestically. And so the question has always been to what extent are they co-operating with each to circumvent the legal constraints that they have," he said.
"For example, if the United States wants to spy on me or any American, they really can't do that without getting a warrant. But there's nothing that would stop the GCHQ from doing it and handing that information to the Americans," he said, referring to Britain's own signals intelligence agency.
However, Wesley Wark, a national security expert at the University of Ottawa, said that the Five Eyes alliance have an understanding that the nations will not spy on one another's soil.
"The real question is what was CSEC, if it's the 'Canadian partner,' what was it actually doing to facilitate the American operation? And who knew about that?" he said. "We don't really know what the NSA was doing."
Wark says the CBC's story raises a number of questions that ought to be answered by the government.
"The Canadian government has a responsibility to tell us more about this story," said Wark.
According to Kent Roach, a law professor at the University of Toronto law school and expert in security law, the move would be illegal if CSEC asked the NSA to spy on Canadians on its behalf.
"CSEC would only break the law if it targeted Canadian persons or asked the NSA to target Canadian persons as a way around Canadian law," he said.
"Nothing in Canadian law can stop the NSA from intercepting communications from Canadians or others non-American citizens. That is a matter for American law and oversight which the Snowden leaks suggest is manifestly inadequate."
Roach said the NSA's request to CSEC was a "courtesy."
Still, Christopher Parsons, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto's citizen lab, says the revelations raise the spectre of authorized spying elsewhere in Canada.
"It raises the question: If the NSA had approval to engage in surveillance for the G8 and G20, have they also received authorization to spy in Canada for other purposes at other times? It's an open question at this point," Parsons said.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Con Alma" is a jazz standard written by Dizzy Gillespie, appearing on his 1954 album Afro. The tune incorporates aspects of bebop jazz and Latin rhythm, and is known for its frequent changes in key centers (occurring every two bars), while still maintaining a singable melody.
Versions have been recorded by Oscar Peterson, Wes Montgomery, Ed Bickert, Stan Getz, Kenny Burrell and Ray Bryant.
The song was recorded by Chaka Khan in 1982 as part of the "Be Bop Medley" from her album Chaka Khan.

Definición de neoclassicism en inglés:
The revival of a classical style or treatment in art, literature, architecture, or music.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- In architecture, neoclassicism was the dominant style in Europe during 1750s - 1850s, marked by the imitation of Greco-Roman forms.
- Since I'd had my fill of postmodernist neoclassicism by the early '90s, Georges's 'Temple' paintings seemed rather ham-fisted to me at the time.
- On the other, it made Shakespeare translation the prime site of the struggle between French neoclassicism and German Romanticism for cultural hegemony in Europe.
As an aesthetic and artistic style neoclassicism originated in Rome in the mid 18th century, combining a reaction against the late baroque and rococo with a new interest in antiquity. In music, the term refers to a return by composers of the early 20th century to the forms and styles of the 17th and 18th centuries, as a reaction against 19th-century romanticism
- 1
sustantivo& adjetivo - Oraciones de ejemplo
- Opposed to the rules and certainties of the neoclassicists, Rousseau put forward divinely created nature, rather than man-made culture, as the condition to which all art should aspire.
- On the basis of all three works, I'd call him a Stravinsky-Hindemith neoclassicist, although like most of his tribe, he doesn't ape his models.
- In the 1920s, the decorative neoclassicist style won its triumphs, in a way preparing the ground for the equally decorative functionalism.

text: There are three general points that seem to characterize the art of the early Islamic period. It can first be said that it was an art that sought self-consciously, like the culture sponsoring it, to create artistic forms that would be identifiable as being different from those produced in preceding or contemporary non-Islamic artistic traditions. At times, as in the use of the Greco-Roman technique of mosaics or in the adoption of Persian and Roman architectural building technology, early Islamic art simply took over whatever traditions were available.

Bangladesh coastguard finds five dead after clash on migrant ship
DHAKA (AFP) - Bangladesh's coastguard on Wednesday found five dead and nearly 200 injured on a stricken people-smuggling boat it rescued in the Bay of Bengal after clashes between the would-be migrants and crew, officials said.
More than 300 people including two Thai crew and an alleged people trafficker from Myanmar were on board the Malaysia-bound vessel, which was found seven nautical miles southeast of Bangladesh's southern-most Saint Martin's Island in rough seas, they said.
Thousands of poor Bangladeshi and ethnic Rohingya refugees from Myanmar try to migrate to Malaysia every year on a perilous and sometimes fatal 3,200km journey.
"We searched the ship and found five bodies of Bangladeshi nationals. All of them were shot dead by the crew and the traffickers," coastguard commander Harun-or-Rashid said by phone from the island close to the Myanmar border.

Car insurance costs are set to rise again in 2013 as the price of re-insurance (that's insurers' insurance) has pushed up outgoings for underwriters by nearly 20%.
But WHY is insurers' insurance rising and why does the average motorists have to cover the cost?
Sadly, it seems whiplash is again partly at fault. Insurance broker Willis Re recently singled out the UK motor sector as the area of the market that will experience the most significant price rises – and, in part, it's a result of the soaring number of fraudulent whiplash claims.
Even if the government is planning a backlash on whiplash, the chances are your premiums will still be pushed up.
Insurers are also worried about genuine legal cases and claims for compensation as a result of a life-changing accident.
One of the biggest payouts of its type in the UK came in November 2012 when a 17-year-old girl was awarded a £7.25 million lump sum, plus a further £270,000 a year for the rest of her life after a road traffic accident left her paralysed.
These periodic payment orders have grown in number to around 400 since 2008, with predictions that precedents set by past cases could potentially open the floodgates.
Motor insurance companies in the UK that have experienced large enough losses to trigger these re-insurance payouts have in turn had their insurance costs inflated by as much as 35%.
While drivers won't have to cover that entire rise, they could still have to face as much as a 10% increase.
Don't forget female drivers either, who are already experiencing inflated car insurance after a European Union anti gender discrimination act came into force in December last year (RAC blog - How will women's car cover be affected by new insurance laws). The combination of these factors could all soon make motor cover prohibitively expensive.
Can anything be done to combat the inexorable rise of car insurance premiums? In short: no. Little will stop the rise. However, there are a few tips you can employ to quash costs as much as possible.
For example, buying a car with a speed limiter or fitting an aftermarket item can lower your insurance risk, while telematics 'black boxes' mean your insurance company can monitor how you drive.
Improving safety and driving standards behind the wheel with one of these on board and keeping away from accident black spots – as well as not travelling at peak or traditional high-risk times – is a sure-fire way towards saving money, too.

Recognized by American Association of Political Consultants for VOTE.UTAH.GOV campaign
SALT LAKE CITY – A public awareness campaign featuring Utah Lt. Governor Spencer J. Cox and promoting the assets of the state's VOTE.UTAH.GOV website has been recognized by the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) with five of its top honors, gold "Pollie" awards.
The campaign was developed and produced by Salt Lake City-based Love Communications, which created the work in conjunction with the Lt. Governor's office. Love entered the Vote campaign in just seven categories to earn its five gold Pollies, which were announced late last week at the AAPC 2015 Annual Pollie Awards and Conference in New Orleans. With more than 2,400 entries, this year's contest was the largest in AAPC history.
"It's exciting to see the growth of the industry reflected in the Pollie Awards," said AAPC President Art Hackney. "We continue to refine categories, making the contest easier to enter – yet harder to win. This year's winners represent the very best in business of politics."

hi all,
i'm new to mac and having some issues downloading mp3s from my own website. here's the story. i am a musician and i am currently working on creating a website where people can download my music for free in mp3 format. while testing links the other day on my PC i had no problems downloading the mp3's from my music page. i'd simply click on the link and a window would pop up saying "open with..." or "save as...". ok, no sweat. but when i tried it on my Mac, no window came up but instead quicktime opened and played the mp3 as a audio/mpeg object which i can only download if i upgrade to quicktime pro. not cool. while still using the mac, i then tried clicking on my mp3 links on my soundclick and myspace sites but instead of launching quicktime a window came up with the "open with.."/save as..." prompt like i wanted. now, my question is this. how do i get my mac to respond to the mp3 download procedure on my website the same way it does on the myspace and soundclick sites? i know for a fact that i uploaded mp3s and i want mac users to be able to download them just as easily as PC users. any help would be appreciated! thanks, jason |

In his final speech as MENOG chair, Mr Al Shirawi stressed the fact that this decision was made after all due consideration of what's best for the region in general and MENOG in particular.
"As a MENOG founder, I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made so far," he said.
"I'm throwing my unreserved support behind the new acting chairman, Sultan Al Shamsi from Etisalat, and wish him a successful term."

Obama declares new era of co-operation with China
President Barack Obama declared a new era of "co-operation, not confrontation" with China today, even though two days of high-level talks were not expected to resolve differences over the two nations' yawning trade gap and China's unease over soaring US budget deficits.
The Obama administration pledged to get control of the deficits once the economic crisis is resolved. It also pressed China to reshape its economy to rely more on domestic demand and less on exports that drive up the US trade deficit.
Chinese Assistant Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao, briefing reporters after Monday's meetings, said the US and Chinese sides had "profound exchanges" on the recovery of the US economy.
"We sincerely hope the US fiscal deficit will be reduced, year after year," Zhu said, speaking through an interpreter, after being asked if China was worried about US recovery.
The discussions in Washington represent the continuation of a dialogue begun by the Bush administration, which focused on economic tensions between the two nations. Obama chose to expand the talks to include foreign policy issues as well as economic disputes.
Top officials from both countries have called the relationship crucial to solving many of the world's crises. The Obama administration hopes the talks can set the groundwork for cooperation on climate change, lifting the world economy out of turmoil and addressing nuclear standoffs with North Korea and Iran.
Both sides sought to underscore the importance of the revamped Strategic and Economic Dialogue, with Obama delivering a major policy address to welcome a sizable Chinese delegation of 150 diplomats.
"I believe that we are poised to make steady progress on some of the most important issues of our times," Obama told officials from both countries assembled in the vast atrium of the Ronald Reagan Building.
"The relationship between the United States and China will shape the 21st century, which makes it as important as any bilateral relationship in the world," Obama said.
Vice Premier Wang Qishan, China's top economic policymaker, said his country's attempts to create a more open economy would help US recovery efforts.
"With the furthering of China's reform and opening up, China and the United States will have even closer economic cooperation and trade relations and (the) China-US relationship will surely keep moving forward," Wang said, speaking through an interpreter.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner were leading the US team. The Chinese delegation was led by Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo and Wang.
Geithner and Wang both spoke of hopeful signs that the global economy was beginning to emerge from its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Geithner said the stimulus packages put together by Beijing and Washington had made a substantial contribution to fighting the global downturn and represented a milestone in economic cooperation between the two nations.
The United States, the world's largest economy, accounts for about 22 percent of global output, and China around 7 percent. The combined impact of the massive stimulus programs should make a difference, economists said, in cushioning a recession that appears to be bottoming out in the United States and some other countries.
Geithner traveled to Beijing last month to assure Chinese officials that federal budget deficits, which have ballooned because of government efforts to deal with the recession and stabilize the financial system, would be reined in once those crises have passed.
He said Americans were already moving to boost their personal savings rates. Economists have long argued that is necessary to controlling US trade deficits because it means Americans are not consuming as much in imports from China and other countries.
"We are committed to taking measures to maintaining greater personal saving and to reducing the federal deficit to a sustainable level by 2013," Geithner said at the opening session of the talks.
Geithner did not spell out how the administration planned to accomplish those objectives. Many private economists have said the Chinese are right to worry about a US budget deficit that is projected to hit $1.85 trillion this year, four-times the previous record, and under the administration's estimates will not dip below $500 billion over the next decade.
The Chinese, who have the largest foreign holdings of US Treasury debt at $801.5 billion, have expressed worries that soaring deficits could spark inflation or a sudden drop in the value of the dollar, thus jeopardizing their investments.
Zhu told reporters, "The Chinese government is a responsible government, and first and foremost our responsibility is the Chinese people, so of course we are concerned about the security of the Chinese assets."
The United States played down the issue of China's currency, the yuan, which American manufacturers contend is being kept at artificially low levels by Beijing to gain trade advantages against the United States.
Both sides are trying to emphasize areas of agreement, in part to avoid upsetting global financial markets during a period of stress for the world economy.
Geithner did say that it would be a "huge contribution to more rapid, balanced and sustained global growth" if China shifted toward more domestic-led growth and away from the current extensive reliance on exports.
While Chinese officials have pledged to move in this direction, it was unclear that the changes would be fast enough or substantial enough to satisfy US demands.
The two nations are the world's largest emitters of the pollution blamed for global warming, but so far China has resisted calls to set specific caps on emissions or to eliminate tariffs on clean energy technology that the United States and other countries would like to sell them.
The administration did praise China for its help in the nuclear standoff with North Korea. Clinton said the United States and China must work together to stop North Korean "provocations." She said both countries "appreciate the dangers of escalating tensions" and a possible arms race in East Asia.
While the US trade deficit with China has narrowed slightly this year, it is still the largest imbalance with any country. Critics in Congress say unless China does much more in the currency area, they will seek to pass legislation to impose economic sanctions on Beijing, a move that could spark a trade war.
Dai said the countries must work together to help solve the world's problems.
Speaking through an interpreter, he noted that the countries are trying to build better relations despite their very different social systems, cultures and histories.
"Can we manage to do that? My answer is, we must work hard to make it happen, and, yes, we can — that is borrowed from President Obama." He added in English: "Yes, we can!"

There is no point cursing fate if what happens today is not to your liking. In the long-term everything will come good, so be strong and never doubt that no matter what happens, be it "good" or be it "bad", you will be stronger for it.
