Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area

Fonterra farmers look set to get a payout starting with a six-dollar figure for the current season with the dairy company lifting its previous seasonal forecast range by 25c, but southern farmers will continue to be cautious with spending.
The new forecast for 2012-2013 is $5.90-$6 before retentions for a fully shared-up farmer.
The lifted forecast means the milk price outlook is $5.50/kg milksolids for this season, up from the previous forecast of $5.25.
Federated Farmers dairy chairman Allan Baird said although the news was encouraging in the run-up to Christmas, caution would still prevail.
It was still too early in the season to tell how things would go and he did not think spending would increase too greatly, he said.
"It's a little too early. I don't think farmers will be too overjoyed just yet. A few seasons ago we were close to the $8 mark but once the payout is back in the $6 range, we might see some elation," he said.
If the payout did improve during the season into the $6 range, there could be some discretionary spending on capital projects, Mr Baird said.
The Fonterra board also announced a forecast net profit after tax range of 40-50c per share, consistent with the recent Fonterra Shareholders' Fund Offer prospectus and a 40c increase in advance rate payments to farmers.
Fonterra is required to consider its farmgate milk price every quarter as a condition of the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act.
Chairman Sir Henry van der Heyden said after considering farmer shareholders' cashflow requirements, and the strength of the farmer co-operative's balance sheet after the launch of Trading Among Farmers (Taf), the board had also decided to lift advance rate payments to farmers.
"The immediate effect of this decision is that our farmers will have more money flowing into their bank accounts from late January when they are paid for the previous month, and that will help them with their cashflows.
"Between August 1 and the most recent GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) trading event, prices have increased by an average 17.7 per cent. While there was a drop at last week's GDT event, it has not changed our overall commodity price forecasts."
Chief executive Theo Spierings said Fonterra's strong balance sheet meant that from a cashflow point of view the co-operative was in a position to increase payments to farmers over the next few months without any significant risk to its financial stability.
Spierings said while the outlook for any movements in the New Zealand dollar exchange rate was neutral, the impact of weather events in other markets was likely to support the lift in forecast farmgate milk price. "There has been a persistent, serious drought in the United States. That has pushed up the price of grain, which in turn affects dairy production.
"There are also concerns about drought in the Ukraine and Russia. In South America, extreme wetness in parts of Brazil and Argentina could also depress wheat production," Spierings said. "Given current global conditions, our forecasting anticipates global dairy prices are likely to move higher in the first half of 2013."

Read More »from Blind mother gets to 'see' her unborn son thanks to 3D printing
For many mothers, getting a first look at their children before they are born is a given, but that is not the case for Tatiana Guerra.
Tatiana lost her eyesight when she was 17 and thought she would have to wait until her child was born to "meet" him. But the wonders of 3D printing changed that and allowed her to get a glimpse of her son.
The short film, titled "Meeting Murilo," was made by Huggies Brazil as part of an ad campaign. It follows Tatiana to her 20-week ultrasound exam, where she has no idea she is about to be presented with a 3D printed image of her son, Murilo.
Because she is unable to see the ultrasound like other expecting mothers can, Tatiana has to rely on verbal descriptions from the doctor to get a sense of what the child will look like.
"If you could touch him, would that let you know what he's like?" her doctor asks in the video. He then presents her with a 3D model of her unborn son's face.
"That's an image of your son. See if he feels the way you think he does," the

This girl's reaction to making the cheerleading squad is pricelessBy Gwen Breitstein | Trending Now – Fri, May 8, 2015
A video of 10-year-old Lacey Parker learning she made her middle school cheerleading squad has gone viral.Read More »from This girl's reaction to making the cheerleading squad is priceless
Making the squad has been a dream of Lacey's since her older sisters were on the team, so Lacey's teacher and principal encouraged her to try out.
On Friday May 1, the names of the girls who made the team were posted online. When the big moment came to find out if Lacey was going to be a cheerleader, one of her sisters was on hand to record Lacey's reaction.
"I made it!" Lacey screams in the video.
Lacey's mom, Renee, posted the video for family and friends, but the sweet video has gone viral and has been seen millions of times on Facebook.
"It's just so amazing that one little girl has touched so many people by achieving her dream," said Renee.
Lacey has Down syndrome, but according to her mom she has never let that get in her way.
"Down syndrome is a label; it's not who she is. She's an amazing little girl who strives to do whatever she wants to do," says Renee. "She's always told
Prankster plays life-size Tetris, and mayhem ensuesBy Gwen Breitstein | Trending Now – Thu, May 7, 2015
Veteran prankster Rémi Gaillard took Tetris, everyone's favorite old-school game, off the computer screen and brought it onto the streets.Read More »from Prankster plays life-size Tetris, and mayhem ensues
And Gaillard's Tetris stunt definitely kicks things up a notch. He and his friends, all dressed as different Tetris-shaped bricks, worked together to create a complete line, even if that meant blocking escalator entrances and elevator exits and running into people.
From stopping traffic to infuriating strangers on the streets, Gaillard's game of Tetris is much more intense than the computer version we remember. We don't recommend trying this at home.
Robin Williams impressionist wows with his imitations of other celebsBy Gwen Breitstein | Trending Now – Thu, May 7, 2015
Actor Jamie Costa is back with a new video, once again wowing us with his amazing celebrity impressions.Read More »from Robin Williams impressionist wows with his imitations of other celebs
This time around, it's a trip to Middle Earth. Costa impersonates Sir Ian McKellen's Gandalf, asking who would like to join him on a quest. It's an unlikely bunch of celebrities who volunteer to go along.
From Matthew McConaughey to George W. Bush, his impressions are spot on, but the best one of all is definitely his Robin Williams.
This isn't the actor's first time channeling the late comedian. Costa's Robin Williams tribute video went viral last month, and has attracted more than 3.5 million views to date.

A bipartisan group of U.S. Congress members introduced a bill today that would set emissions limits for carbon dioxide and other power plant pollutants that contribute to global warming and pose a risk to public health. The bill was released two days after President George W. Bush's controversial decision not to support limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. Five U.S. Senators and two Representatives held a press conference to unveil "The Clean Power Act of 2001," the Senate version of the bill, and the "Clean Smokestacks Act of 2001," the House version. Both bills are described as taking a cost effective, commonsense approach to slashing power plant emissions of four major pollutants - nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, mercury and carbon dioxide - by 2007. On Tuesday, President Bush broke a campaign pledge when he declared that his administration would not regulate emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants. "While I applaud President Bush for maintaining his position of requiring all power plants to meet clean air standards by reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury, it is extremely disappointing that he has dropped one of the most important elements off that list. I have no intention of doing the same," said Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican and one of the cosponsors of the bill introduced today. The bills would cut smog and soot forming nitrogen oxides by 75 percent from 1997 levels. Acid rain and soot forming sulfur dioxide would be cut by 75 percent below Phase II of the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain Program requirements. Toxic mercury emissions would be cut by 90 percent from 1999 levels, and global warming carbon dioxide emissions would return to 1990 levels. In addition, the bills would require every power plant to clean up to the same level required for new power plants by the facility's 30th birthday or five years after enactment of the Act, whichever is later. "The nation's dirtiest power plants have spent the last 30 years using loopholes in the law to avoid emissions reductions," said Senator Collins. "There's a lot of momentum now for finally eliminating that loophole. Carbon dioxide, mercury, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxides all present serious risks in high concentrations. We need to do all we can to reduce emissions of these pollutants into our air." The bill won praise from a variety of environmental and citizens groups. "Pollution from old, inefficient power plants kills tens of thousands of Americans each year and contributes to global warming," said Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club. "Clean air and a safe climate are basic rights and necessary for all life. These bills move us one step closer toward protecting Americans' right to breathe freely." "Today's bipartisan action should restore the public's confidence that environmental leaders in Congress are willing to work together to promote cleaner air and curb the effects of global warming, keeping a pledge made - then broken - by the president," said Deb Callahan, president of the League of Conservation Voters. "The Clean Power Plant Act of 2001 provides the kind of strong, commonsense environmental protection the American people overwhelmingly support and expect." In contrast, criticism continued to mount today over President Bush's decision to oppose emissions limits for carbon dioxide. In a letter to four Republican Senators, President Bush cited higher electricity costs and a dearth of currently available technology as reasons for breaking his pledge, based on a Department of Energy report projecting higher prices for electricity and natural gas under a carbon dioxide emissions cap. But critics say that report failed to factor in potential cost savings from the emissions cuts. A United Nations study conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released earlier this month found the economic benefits of limiting carbon dioxide using known technology could actually exceed the costs. "Half the potential emissions reductions could be achieved . . . with direct benefits (energy saved) exceeding direct costs (net capital, operating, and maintenance costs)," the report stated. "This is about much more than broken campaign promises and political double talk," said Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat who cosponsored the new Senate bill. "The science on this threat has never been clearer or more convincing." Many charged that Bush's move will ultimately cost the nation more than it may save in lower energy costs. The nonprofit group Redefining Progress called Bush's decision "perilous" for American consumers, particularly lower income families. "It is ironic that Bush would turn a blind eye to this critical issue within a month of the release of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that attested to the severity of the global warming problem," said Redefining Progress environmental justice and climate change campaign manager Ansje Miller. "Climate change is a life and death issue for the low income and people of color communities in the United States. This decision will do nothing more than delay necessary action and will have serious detrimental effects on the lives of millions of people in this country." A Redefining Progress report found that low income and minority communities would be most affected by climate change. Already burdened with poor air quality and twice as likely to be uninsured as whites, these Americans will become even more vulnerable to climate change related respiratory ailments, heat related illness and death, and illness from insect carried diseases, the report found. President George W. Bush said Tuesday that he no longer supports requiring power plants to cut carbon dioxide emissions (Photo courtesy The White House) Even local Washington DC papers condemned Bush's decision. The "Washington Post" ran an editorial this morning charging that Bush's "shortsightedness" would make it much harder and more expensive to address global warming in the future. And Christopher Flavin, president of the Worldwatch Institute, warned that "the attempt by the Bush administration to return to reliance on coal, a dirty fuel that is a relic of the 19th century, would be a costly economic mistake." Not everyone disagreed with Bush's decision, of course. Senator Bob Smith, the New Hampshire Republican who chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said Bush's position is consistent with his own plans to introduce legislation to curb power plant emissions through "a cap and trade, market based system," rather than through mandatory cuts. The Global Climate Coalition (GCC), an industry supported group that opposes current international efforts to control global warming through mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions, called the legislation introduced today "wrongheaded in light of America's current energy woes," and praised Bush's stance. "As we continue discussions about a national energy policy, it is important to strike the proper balance between the nation's energy needs and the nation's environmental priorities," said GCC executive director Glenn Kelly. "Though well intended, efforts aimed at regulating carbon dioxide emissions are misguided and costly." H. Sterling Burnett, senior policy analyst with the National Center for Policy Analysis, said that Bush's decision "showed great wisdom and leadership," and urged that Bush and the Senate continue to oppose mandatory emissions cuts such as those described in the international Kyoto Protocol. Under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, 39 industrialized nations are committed to cut their greenhouse gas emissions to an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by the period 2008-2012. But the Protocol will not take effect until it is ratified by 55 percent of the nations emitting at least 55 percent of the six greenhouse gases. Bush has repeatedly said that he opposes the Kyoto Protocol. New talks on the pact are scheduled to begin this summer. Other supporters appeared to bolster the arguments of Bush critics that the president's decision was heavily influenced by industry lobbyists. The conservative Cooler Heads Coalition said that Bush had made "the right decision on regulating CO2 [carbon dioxide] with a little good advice from their friends." "We have won a famous victory, and everyone should congratulate themselves on the work they did to achieve this end," wrote Myron Ebell, chair of the Cooler Heads Coalition, in an email to supporters. Ebell is also the director of global warming and international environmental policy for the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Both industry supported groups lobbied heavily for President Bush to retract his campaign statement that he would mandate carbon dioxide reductions from power plants. In the same email, Ebell noted that a Cooler Heads Coalition member was instrumental in initiating the Department of Energy study that "gave the administration the cover they needed to get out of the dead end they had blundered into," offering economic reasons for Bush to back off of carbon dioxide regulations. Ebell also urged his cohorts to step up opposition against environmentally friendly candidates for appointments in the Bush administration, including the post of assistant administrator for air pollution control at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In response, the nonprofit Clean Air Trust earlier today named Ebell their Clean Air "Villain Of The Month."

Piper lived near this Romanesque building in Oxfordshire. In 1940 he was beginning to make works of art out of his interest in British architecture. This is one of many drawings in which he imitated the monochrome but very clear studies by John Sell Cotman, who had drawn churches in Norfolk early in the nineteenth century.
It is disappointing that it was such a modest painting as this that was the first of Piper's works to be acquired by the Tate Gallery.

Contraception and breastfeeding.
Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington DC 20007-2113, USA.Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology (Impact Factor: 1.53). 10/2004; 47(3):734-9. DOI: 10.1097/01.grf.0000139710.63598.b1

ABSTRACT: Injectable contraception includes progestin-only and combined estrogen and progestin agents that provide safe and highly effective birth control for one to three months. Injectable agents are widely available and play an important role in family planning programs worldwide. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, available for intramuscular injection and subcutaneous injection, is the best known and most broadly distributed injectable contraceptive agent, and is an ideal agent for women who have contraindications to estrogen use. Despite their effectiveness, progestin-only injectables are associated with high rates of discontinuation due to bothersome side effects including abnormal bleeding, health controversies including decreased bone mineral density, and increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus acquisition. Injectables do offer non-contraceptive benefits including symptom control related to endometriosis and fibroids, and decreased risk of endometrial cancer. Research is ongoing to determine new injectable hormone formulations that provide longer-acting contraceptive protection and fewer side effects.01/2015; DOI:10.1007/s13669-014-0106-7
Article: Postpartum Contraception[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As birth spacing has demonstrated health benefits for a woman and her children, contraception after childbirth is recognized as an important health issue. The potential risk of pregnancy soon after delivery underscores the importance of initiating postpartum contraception in a timely manner. The contraceptive method initiated in the postpartum period depends upon a number of factors including medical history, anatomic and hormonal factors, patient preference, and whether or not the woman is breastfeeding. When electing a contraceptive method, informed choice is paramount. The availability of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods immediately postpartum provides a strategy to achieve reductions in unintended pregnancy.Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology 09/2014; 57(4).

Article: The Discordance Between Planned Use and Actual Receipt of Immediate Postpartum Depot Medroxyprogesterone Among Low-Income Women.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: This study describes the patterns of planned use and actual receipt of immediate postpartum depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA) prior to hospital discharge among low-income breastfeeding initiators. Materials and Methods: Bivariate analyses among DMPA recipients by prenatal planned/unplanned use and the sensitivity of DMPA self-report relative to pharmacologic record were calculated. Results: Among immediate postpartum DMPA recipients (n=58), 72.4% (n=42) did not plan to use DMPA. The sensitivity of self-reported DMPA use was 89.7% (95% confidence interval, 85.2, 94.2). Conclusions: Clinically, it is unclear if the immediate postpartum period is the appropriate time to obtain consent and administer a long-acting contraceptive method. In our sample, women accurately recalled receiving DMPA in the immediate postpartum period. However, the majority did not plan to use this contraceptive method. Further high-quality qualitative and quantitative research regarding women's contraceptive plans and perception of the postpartum DMPA consent process and the healthcare provider's attitudes regarding consent and prescription of immediate postpartum DMPA are warranted.

Power companies seek US acquisitions
Sunday 23 August 1998
Veterans of deregulation at home, the UK utilities think they can put their knowledge to profitable use in a US market that is just opening up to competition. In the most publicised transaction, British Energy and Peco Energy of Philadelphia said in July they would buy the one working reactor at the Three Mile Island plant, scene in 1979 of the worst nuclear accident in US history.
At $100m (pounds 61m) analysts say Three Mile Island is a great buy for the two partners. Still, that a foreign company would want such a notorious asset is an indication of how attractive the US electricity market, the biggest in the world, has become to UK utilities whose growth prospects are limited at home.
"It's an enormous opportunity. . . This is a market that has been fossilised for 50 years and is at the early stages of being opened up to proper competition," said Peter Atherton, an analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson.
The UK push into America faces enormous risks and formidable obstacles. To succeed, British companies must be prepared to outbid well-heeled US rivals and deal with regulators who so far have prevented foreign control of American utilities.
While they have had some success buying assets such as power plants, UK companies have been frustrated in their efforts to merge with or acquire US utilities.
After more than three months of negotiations, merger talks collapsed last week between PowerGen, which generates 19.5 per cent of the power used in England and Wales, and Houston Industries, one of the biggest utilities in Texas. Together, the two companies would have had a market value of more than $16bn.
Earlier this year, Scottish Power abandoned efforts to buy Florida Progress, an electric utility, in what would have been a more than $4bn acquisition. Yet both Scottish Power and PowerGen say they won't give up on finding US acquisitions or merger partners.
"We continue to talk to a number of people," said Peter Hickson, PowerGen finance director. "We're very enthusiastic about the US."
UK companies, which want to become global competitors, cannot ignore emerging opportunities to grab a piece of $230bn in annual US power sales. Driven by the prospect of lower electricity prices, 16 states
are preparing to eliminate utility monopolies over the next few years and let new players vie for customers. The entire market is expected to open in the next decade.
Five of the biggest power companies in the UK have said they are planning to buy or merge with US utilities, or acquire multimillion-dollar assets such as power plants and transmission lines.
Entering a foreign market is full of pitfalls, as US companies know from their own experiences in Britain. American power companies have acquired eight UK utilities over the last three years, but they have not earned nearly as much as they expected on the other side of the Atlantic.
UK companies can expect similar problems with regulation in the US, where state officials often view utilities as public trusts run on behalf of local customers rather than profit-making enterprises entitled to global aspirations.
"There are 56,000 people involved in electricity regulation in the US. The regulatory burden should be in no way underestimated," said Mike Bottomley, group manager of KPMG's global utilities team.
US regulators can delay acquisitions for two years or more, increasing the risk that a bid will fail or giving competitors time to come up with rival offers. State regulators often demand big rate cuts for consumers before approving acquisitions, biting into returns.

Thais slow in saving for their retirement
Publication Date : 25-07-2014
Though many people in Thailand know it is important to start saving for their retirement, many begin putting away money quite late in life, which leaves many of them poor beyond the age of 60, a study showed.
Research on people's savings behaviour, presented at the Stock Exchange of Thailand yesterday, showed that Thais generally start putting money away for their retirement at around the age of 42, compared to 30 in the United States. It also showed that most Thais underestimate their future expenses, which leaves them poor at retirement.
Many locals are investing in their pension plans late in life, saying they need to acquire necessities such as cars and houses, as well as get married and go travelling before they turn 40.
Boonlert Jitmaneeroj, a researcher from the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC), said these numbers were worrying because this delay in planning for retirement will definitely affect the lifestyle of many people.
"It is like running a marathon," Boonlert said. "Some are still running the race while others have already reached the finish line."
He pointed out seven pitfalls that people face when saving for their retirement, all of which contribute to them being under-funded after retirement.
The pitfalls are: Planning too late, being too confident in their planning, misconceptions about planning, underestimating their expenses, underestimating their longevity, failing to save enough and retiring too early.
According to the study, the retirement savings gap minus the value of the real estate owned by people surveyed showed that 52 per cent will be under-funded by an average of Bt2.9 million upon retirement.
"People are saving money without a definite goal as they don't know how much money they will need when they retire - it's like running without a destination," Boonlert said.
People who encounter retirement fund shortages tend to be women who earn less than men and are not as ready to take investment
risks. Hence, he said, the authorities should raise awareness and educate people on investment alternatives, adding that everybody should be encouraged to save more and invest more. Also, he said, the retirement age should be extended to beyond 60.
Boonlert added that if retirement age was set at 62, it would positively affect 76 per cent of Thais who face an under-funded old age.
The UTCC study yesterday showed that more Thais are under debt and that the average debt per household had also increased from last year.
Credit easily obtained over the past five years had boosted Thai household debt to 82 per cent of the country's gross domestic product at the end of last year, when income could not keep pace with the growth.

Neil Young has come a long way since the 1990s, when he reigned as rock's noisiest elder statesman. In 2005, he's as far removed from Ragged Glory as Ragged Glory was from Tonight's the Night, and his past ten years have been his quietest ever. Since Young turned fifty in late 1995, at the peak of his powers, he's made only a handful of albums, none of them big successes: the elegiac Crazy Horse slow-motion slopfest Broken Arrow, the folkie trifle Silver and Gold, the inept Are You Passionate?, the overwrought yet underwritten song cycle Greendale. For Prairie Wind, Young returns to familiar ground, the country-rock sound of Seventies discs such as Harvest and Comes a Time. It's his simplest music in a while, but it's effective. He spends the album saying goodbye to his friends, his family, the Canadian landscape and Elvis, in a reflective mood that suits the old-timey acoustic groove. Young cut Prairie Wind in Nashville, while commuting to New York to get treatment for a near-fatal brain aneurysm. His brush with mortality colors the new songs, as does the recent death of his father. Young sings about the comforts of family life — his kids in "Here for You," his parents in "Far From Home." The music goes down easy, with longtime cohort Ben Keith on steel guitar; what's hard to take are the background vocals, drowning out the melodies with stiff chorales. The lyrics are on the cozy side, but Young's acoustic guitar can snap and bite — especially in the excellent "Prairie Wind," his tribute to his father, which sounds like a countrified "Tonight's the Night." Touches like the harmonica solo in "Here for You" are so pretty, fans won't count how many times they've heard them before. The opening ballad, "The Painter," sums up the mood: "I have my friends eternally/We leave our tracks in the sound/Some of them are with me now/Some of them can't be found." Nothing earthshaking here — just Neil Young getting mellow while brooding over how little time leaves behind as it fades away.

Castro's dream for Cuba's artists
Jigme Sherpa brings hope to Nepal's quake victims
02 Oct 2008 17:33 GMT
Prosecutors at the United Nations war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia said his trial highlighted the close links between the Belgrade-based Yugoslav army and Bosnian Serb forces commanded by the now-fugitive General Ratko Mladic throughout the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
Secret documents
Thursday's trial is the most significant case linking the government of Slobodan Milosevic, the late Serbian president, to atrocities in Bosnia and Croatia to be heard at the tribunal since Milosevic's own trial collapsed when he died of a heart attack in 2006.
Harmon told judges that Perisic was a key player in Milosevic's plan to carve out an ethnically pure Serbian state that included large parts of Bosnia and Croatia.
Harmon said that in order to create "Greater Serbia" Milosevic and Perisic used Bosnian Serb and Croatian Serb forces as their proxies, arming, paying and providing them with senior officers.
Authorities in Belgrade set up two special divisions of the army, known as the 30th and 40th personnel centres, as a front for sending Yugoslav troops and officers to serve in the Bosnian Serb and Croatian Serb rebel armies, Harmon said.
The prosecutor also said Perisic had helped funnel weapons, ammunition, communications and logistical equipment to Bosnian Serb forces who used them to commit atrocities unseen in Europe since the second world war.
"This assistance was a carefully guarded state secret since it was in breach of UN resolutions," Harmon said.
Srebrenica massacre
Bosnian Serb forces under Mladic killed 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the UN-protected region of Srebrenica in July 1995.
They also besieged the Bosnian capital Sarajevo for four years, killing thousands.
The International Court of Justice, a separate UN court that adjudicates disputes between member states, last year cleared Milosevic's government of direct involvement in the Srebrenica genocide, but said it had failed to prevent the slaughter.
Prosecutors also accuse Perisic of failing to investigate or punish his subordinates, such as Mladic, involved in the atrocities.
Instead, Harmon said, "he [Perisic] took affirmative steps to protect General Mladic from accountability before this institution".
Phone conversation
Harmon read from the transcript of an intercepted December 1995 phone conversation between Perisic and Zoran Lilic, the former Yugoslav president, in which the men discuss a deal - allegedly involving the French president at the time, Jacques Chirac - to prevent Mladic being tried at the tribunal.
In the conversation, both men suggest that they, along with Milosevic and Chirac, will offer Mladic a guarantee he will not be arrested or prosecuted in return for the release of two French pilots captured after they were shot down near Sarajevo.
Mladic eventually freed the pilots unharmed.
The transcript was first aired in 2003 at Milosevic's trial, at the time Chirac's office denied he ever offered Mladic such a deal.
Perisic is also charged with failing to prevent or punish the deadly May 1995 shelling by Croatian Serbs of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, that killed seven civilians and injured 194.
Source: Agencies
Ten years after a UN tribunal indicted Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic for the worst bloodshed in Europe since the second world war, the world's two most wanted war crimes fugitives remain free.

Thousands of Bosnians from across the country converged on the site of the 1995 Srebernica massacre on Friday to attend the burial of some of the victims.
