Waterbirds are a diverse group of wetland dependent bird species. They are extremely important both from a conservation and recreational point of view. Most of these species have adapted to the drastically changing conditions of wetlands through their migratory behaviour.
Many waterbirds complete annual migrations of several thousands of kilometres between their breeding and non-breeding areas, passing many country borders and even between continents. These migration routes are called flyways. Waterbird conservation and sustainable management requires coordinated actions throughout the length of a flyway.

Manchester United face Turkish fight for £15m Real Madrid star
Manchester United face competition from Galatasaray in the race to sign Angel Di Maria, according to reports.
French publication Le Sport 10 claims the Turkish giants have joined the race for the Real Madrid winger, with AS Monaco and Paris Saint Germain also keen on the 25-year-old.
The Daily Star reported at the end of May that Di Maria had been offered to the Red Devils, with new manager David Moyes able to bring the Argentine international to Old Trafford for £15million.
However, no further developments appear to have been made, and Manchester United will now face a battle if they want to sign the former Benfica speedster.
Gala have the funds to both sign Di Maria and pay his high wages, according to Le Sport 10, and want to make the player their new 'symbol'.
The report goes on to claim Di Maria is saddened by the departure of Jose Mourinho from the Santiago Bernabeu – a factor which could affect his future at the club under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Whether Manchester United can capitalise remains to be seen, but the player's arrival would certainly be a transfer coup for Moyes as he looks to make his mark on the side following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.News Now - Sport News

June 2-7, Abigail Wright will perform with the New York City Ballet in an ensemble of 12 women's voices for their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Puchase tickets online at http://www.nycballet.com/Ballets/M/A-Midsummer-Night%E2%80%99s-Dream.aspx
Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Felix Mendelssohn
Enter the enchanted land of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a lush forest besieged by quixotic love triangles and feuding fairy kingdoms, awash with magic at every turn. Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of his happiest and most loved comedies. It is called a "Dream" because of the unrealistic events the characters experience in the play — real, yet unreal: Crossed lovers, meaningless quarrels, forest chases leading to more confusion, and magic spells woven by the infamous Puck.
Balanchine was familiar with Shakespeare's play from an early age. As a child he had appeared as an elf in a production in St. Petersburg, and he could recite portions of the play by heart in Russian. Balanchine loved Mendelssohn's overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night's Dream (composed respectively in 1826 and 1843), and it is this score, Balanchine later said, that inspired his choreography. Mendelssohn had written only about an hour's worth of music for the play, not enough for an evening-length dance work, so Balanchine studied the composer's other oeuvre, finally selecting a number of additional overtures, a nocturne, an intermezzo, and a portion of Symphony No. 9, to weave together the ballet's score.
Midsummer night has long been associated with love and magic. In European folklore it is the one night of the year when supernatural beings such as fairies are about and can interact with the real world. It is also a date that falls near the summer solstice, which was traditionally a time for fertility rites and festivals devoted to love. Shakespeare's 1595 play has been the source for films, an opera by Benjamin Britten (1960), and a one-act ballet by Frederick Ashton, called The Dream (1964). George Balanchine's version, which premiered in 1962, was the first wholly original evening-length ballet he choreographed in America. Two years later, on April 24, A Midsummer Night's Dream opened the New York City Ballet's first repertory season at the New York State Theater (now the David H. Koch Theater).

Government Cock Will Not Suck Itself. That's What A Free And Independent Media Is For.
Waterboarding has been the subject of press attention for over a century. Examining the four newspapers with the highest daily circulation in the country, we found a significant and sudden shift in how newspapers characterized waterboarding. From the early 1930s until the modern story broke in 2004, the newspapers that covered waterboarding almost uniformly called the practice torture or implied it was torture .... By contrast, from 2002 - 2008, the studied newspapers almost never referred to waterboarding as torture .... In addition, the newspapers are much more likely to call waterboarding torture if a country other than the United States is the perpetrator.Link via Jason Kuznicki at The One Best Way blog.
LATER EDIT: I wrote about the media perception of torture in 2006, here. And if I thought the American media was craven in the face of government torture, that's nothing compared to the mass media gaslighting of America in response to the TSA's mandatory genital groping policy.

April 3, 2008 -- (BRONX, NY) -- Robert E. Michler, M.D., the internationally recognized cardiothoracic surgeon who first used minimally invasive and robotic surgery on heart patients, and who pioneered the safe use of human muscle cell injections to treat congestive heart failure, has been named Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and at Montefiore Medical Center, as well as Surgeon-in-Chief at Montefiore. The appointments were announced jointly by Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., The Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein, and Steven M. Safyer, M.D., President and CEO at Montefiore. Dr. Michler will continue to serve as the Samuel Belkin Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, a position he has held since 2005.
In his role as Surgeon-in-Chief, Dr. Michler will oversee all administrative surgical activities in the Montefiore Health System. Dr. Michler's vision for the Department of Surgery includes the development of a Center for Surgical Clinical Trials and the recruitment of renowned and promising surgeons in the fields of surgical oncology, breast surgery and women's health, colorectal surgery, pancreas surgery, and minimally invasive surgery.
"Rob was the unanimous choice, particularly in light of the enormous respect he has garnered among his fellow surgeons and the leadership at Einstein and at Montefiore," said Dr. Spiegel. "We are confident that, in his dual role leading the departments of surgery as well as cardiothoracic surgery, his leadership and vision will further strengthen the clinical, research and teaching capabilities within the Department of Surgery that are integral to the medical school's mission."
"Rob Michler's extraordinary talents as a clinician, teacher and researcher make him the perfect choice to lead our surgical programs," said Montefiore President and CEO Steven M. Safyer, MD. "Montefiore and Einstein each have an outstanding national reputation and long-established tradition of surgical excellence. Rob's commitment to innovation, quality, and teamwork will establish a new standard of superior patient care among top-tier academic medical centers."
Dr. Michler, whose seminal work in robotics led to FDA approval of robotics for mitral valve repair and for coronary artery bypass surgery, is the principal investigator of a five-year research grant from the National Institutes of Health aimed at evaluating new techniques, technologies and devices designed to improve the scientific basis of care in cardiovascular disease. Dr. Michler is the Chairman of the Surgical Therapy Committee of the NIH sponsored Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) international trial. His clinical research centers on the surgical treatment of heart failure and his laboratory research program focuses on the use of stem cells for myocardial regeneration.
"It is with great enthusiasm that I accept these additional responsibilities," said Dr. Michler. "We are in a very exciting and challenging era for surgery. My goal is to build on Montefiore's surgical history by assembling an unparalleled team of specialists to provide patients with the complete spectrum of innovative cancer treatments and minimally invasive surgical options. The creation of new knowledge and the ability to share this with patients through clinical trials will be the cornerstone of our surgical program."
Dr. Michler has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed papers and 30 book chapters in cardiothoracic surgery. In addition, Dr. Michler is chairman and founder of Heart Care International, a not-for-profit foundation providing diagnostic heart care and surgery to indigent children in developing countries. To date, Heart Care International has seen and diagnosed more than 1,000 children with heart disease and performed heart surgery on more than 500 children.
He has received numerous honors and awards, including the Pace Humanitarian Award, "The Order of Christopher Columbus" by the President of the Dominican Republic, and recognition as "Person of the Week" by ABC World News for his humanitarian work.
Dr. Michler joined Montefiore and Einstein from The Ohio State University Medical Center, where he was the John G. and Jeanne B. McCoy Endowed Chair, Professor of Surgery and Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Transplantation from 1997 to 2005. Previously he served as a tenured Associate Professor and Director of the cardiac transplantation program at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City.
Dr. Michler graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and received his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School, where he was a Leopold Schepp Scholar. He completed his residency in general surgery, fellowships in cardiothoracic surgery and transplantation at Columbia and was chief resident in pediatric cardiothoracic surgery at Boston Children's Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Dr. Michler lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his wife, Sally, and their three daughters, Alexandra, Sarah, and Elizabeth.

The Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist Course (CPMT) is coming to Austin, Texas.
This Accredited 2-day professional training, taught by Master Teacher Tina Allen, will be held at Dell Children's Medical Center.
Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, is the only dedicated freestanding pediatric facility in the region. Kids are different and so is Dell Children's. Children are not small adults. They have unique healthcare needs. At Dell Children's, they treat each of their patients with extra care, time, monitoring and specialized pediatric medical skills and compassion.
In the state capital of Texas, Austin, they pride themselves on being far from ordinary. In fact, they celebrate being "weird." Austin is a unique city providing a blend of Old West charm, southern hospitality, and modern sophistication. Feast on some of the best foods in the world, take in some sun at one of the lakes, and enjoy a never ending array of things to see and do. Austin is a hot spot for creativity and embraces its community of musicians, artists, entrepreneurs and progressive thinkers.
Austin is home to a singer named Willie, a cyclist named Lance, a Longhorn steer named Bevo, and it's known for being the Live Music Capital of the World®, a title that the locals take pretty seriously with nearly 200 live music venues.
Austin is popular with visitors because of its many art and culture events. Austin also holds a close connection to the water because of its position on the Colorado River and the presence of three artificial lakes within city limits. But that's not all that forms the landscape. As the gateway to the Texas Hill Country, rolling hills and sparkling waterways abound in Austin. And each night during the summer, locals gather to watch 1.5 million bats take flight from underneath the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge.
South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more than 1,400 performers playing dozens of venues around Austin over four days, in the Spring.
Originating as the Austin Battle of the Bands, SXSW officially began in 1987 and is centered on the downtown Austin Convention Center. Each of the three parts, interactive, film, and music festivals and conferences, run relatively independently, with different start and end dates
Enjoy the outdoors. While Austin is a large, cosmopolitan city, it also offers easy access to cycling, biking and hiking within short distance of the main streets. Barton Creek Greenbelt is easily accessible by foot or public transportation. It offers about eight miles of trails that are great for hiking, bird watching and even mountain biking. For those who prefer water activities, the Colorado River is a great destination for kayaking. The three local lakes (Lady Bird, Austin and Walter E. Long) are great for less ambitious pursuits like swimming.
There are so many ways to see historic Austin, come to Austin and discover with us!
Finally, an accredited pediatric massage certification program for healthcare professionals who wish to expand their practice by providing massage therapy and nurturing touch for pediatric clients. The Liddle Kidz® Foundation Certification course is an intense, fun and effective way to master the core skills of pediatric massage.
Founded by master teacher and philanthropist Tina Allen, the Liddle Kidz® Foundation offers a new, comprehensive, research based training course and teaches students what they really need to know to provide pediatric massage.
Any experienced professional will tell you that there is a world of difference between learning how to massage a child from a book or DVD, and knowing how to provide the best care to meet a child's needs, however, there are few opportunities to learn the skills they really need from a working healthcare professional who has provided pediatric massage education throughout the world.
As a CPMT, you have the special opportunity to provide specialized care through touch therapy to children who need it most.

Driving back from Tagaytay last weekend, C & I stopped by one of the many roadside stands to buy a pineapple. It's hard to resist the pineapples in Tagaytay. Primarily because, well, they're good, and secondly because you see fields of them everywhere, their wild crowns peeking out of the ground. This makes it especially hard to stop thinking about having one. So we stopped and I picked one out. C shot me a dubious look, "That's really hard to peel." The indignation! Did he think I could not peel a pineapple?! "I know how to peel a pineapple!" I shot back. Was he questioning my domestic-island-goddess capabilities?!
Back home found me peeling away, muttering over the pineapple, "I can peel you…I can peel you!" I held up the peeled and quartered pieces up to C, "See, there you go!" Domestic-island-goddess status restored.
Do you want to know a secret? That was the first time I ever peeled one! Hah!!! Sometimes, when skill fails, you just have to muster enough cheek to act like a domestic goddess. And sometimes it helps to have Saveur issue 96 where they teach you how to peel a pineapple.
My pineapple peeling redemption
(care of Saveur Magazine issue 96, page 79)
- Slice of the pineapple's crown and then slice of about a half inch of the bottom, and then stand upright.
- Trim the rind off by slicing the fruit's exterior (don't go deeper then ¼ inch). Follow the fruit's shape when slicing.
- Cut out any black "eyes" that remain.
- Slice the pineapple into 4, lengthways.
- Slice of the core end of each quarter.
- At this point you can cut the quarters into cubes, or slice them again lengthways into thinner slices.
We usually just eat pineapple straight from the fridge…the slices icy cold and sweet. I wanted to try something new this time, and there was a Jamie Oliver recipe that intrigued me. I came upon it in The Accidental Foodie by Neale Whitaker, and had seen it on the internet a couple of times…enough to pique my interest. It's blazingly simple and, I discovered after trying it, surprisingly good. It's called, in adorable Jamie-fashion, Pukka Pineapple with Bashed-Up Mint Sugar. All you have to do is get your pineapple quarters (as above) and slice them lengthways as thin as you can manage. Lay them on a serving platter then get on with the bashing of your mint sugar (bash the sugar right before serving, so if you aren't going to serve it yet just set pineapple aside first). In a mortar and pestle, put some caster (superfine) sugar and some mint leaves (Jamie says 4 tablespoons sugar to a handful of fresh mint) and start bashing! Jamie suggests doing the bashing at the table to create a little "theatre". Bash until sugar turns green and the mint scent wafts up…the smell is divine! Sprinkle mint-sugar on the pineapple slices and enjoy with some natural yogurt. This is one of those recipes that sound almost too simple that you can't really see what the fuss is about…until you try it. The flavor pairing of the pineapple and the mint, with the added sweetness of the sugar, is just so very right. And with the arrival (finally!) of good, thick yogurt on my shores, the whole dessert leaves me gloriously content to the tips of my toes!
note: if you live in Manila and are looking for good, thick, creamy yogurt try Lemnos brand (natural/no flavor) sold in S&R at the Fort. I have also seen it in some Rustan's Supermarket outlets. It is the thickest I've found, and, save flying to Greece to get the real thing, is enough to satisfy my cravings for Greek-style yogurt. It comes in a 2-kilo bucket but it is so worth it. I could have this for breakfast for days on end. It also makes the best raitas and tzazikis, and I can't wait to try it in cakes. Eat it, cook with it, top it on anything…this yogurt rocks!

But that's exactly what happened on Tuesday, when nine of Smith's colleagues (for now, we guess) in government, led by Congressman Gregory Meeks, announced they would be supporting Smith's challenger, former councilman Leroy Comrie.
If you're not familiar with Smith's recent troubles, he was charged last year with taking part in an elaborate bribery scheme that would have resulted in Smith – a Democrat – getting his name on the Republican line in the 2013 mayoral primary. A federal investigation also snared then-councilman Dan Halloran and former vice chair of the Queens GOP Vince Tabone.
In the case of Smith and Tabone, the judge declared a mistrial because prosecutors at the last minute released 70 hours of secretly recorded conversation, but nearly 30 hours were completely in Yiddish, which the defendants' lawyers argued would have to be translated. That would have delayed the trial even longer, and many of the jurors could not serve that long.
Halloran opted to go ahead with his case (in part because he was on the verge of bankruptcy, according to his lawyer, and couldn't afford another stint in court), and was recently found guilty. He is set to be sentenced on December 12 and faces up to 55 years in prison.
But for Smith, the mistrial means that he won't be back in a courtroom until after Election Day, which means his campaign for re-election can soldier on.
And soldiering on it is!
The Smith campaign set out an email last week letting potential supporters know there are three ways they can help the embattled state senator hold on to his seat: donate, volunteer or host a house party.
Smith apparently has at least one supporter out there in hip-hop artist Mr. Cheeks of Lost Boys Mafia Family, who will be headlining a benefit concert later this month in Jamaica, just in case you want to get a little entertainment for your political donation.

The start of the new year in the northern hemisphere comes at a time that does not naturally lend itself to reflection.
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
—Christina Rossetti
The start of the new year in the northern hemisphere comes at a time that does not naturally lend itself to reflection.
Life was traditionally too hard for rumination when the major task was to keep one's body temperature up. Nevertheless, we long ago invented central heating, and so during these frigid days at the start of the new year we now have the luxury of kicking back to reflect on the months just past and the ones soon to come.
In New Bedford, that reflection takes me to the first year of the Jon Mitchell era, or perhaps his interregnum, should Scott Lang decide local public life calls him back.
It's safe to say that as the new mayor's freshman effort comes to a close, the city has been focused on two great goals: rebuilding its long-troubled school system and building a South Terminal port that it's hoped will be the replacement for the now officially moribund clothing and textile industries.
Mitchell, in a way, is a quirky mayor. As low-key as Scott Lang was intense, and as under-stated as Fred Kalisz was enthusiastic, Mitchell even so is a very determined figure.
In the year past, he willingly took on the entrenched school system culture and wholeheartedly embraced the terminal solution, first engineered by Lang and Economic Development Council Director Matt Morrissey.
One thing Mitchell has wisely (if inauthentically) done is separate himself from the continued flounderings of the New Bedford City Council, which during the past year, in the midst of the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, gave itself a 44 percent pay raise, along with a guaranteed annual cost of living increase.
The new year will reveal whether any of these councilors, new or old, pays a price for making themselves far more comfortable during a time when so many of their fellow city residents continued to struggle. And yet, maybe the favors the councilors have done for some of those citizens will pull them and their pay raises through. That's politics.
As for Mayor Mitchell, whether he will be able to succeed on his twin monumental tasks is yet to be determined. The coming year's hiring of the new school superintendent will tell a lot, though to be more accurate, the new school chief's leadership abilities in the following years will tell much more.
Also telling for the mayor will be the resolution of the EPA's plan to install a CAD cell in the harbor in order to pave the way for the South Terminal.
The terminal, as our local officials have religiously reminded us, is not just for the turbine port, but for a bulk cargo port in general. The official assurances notwithstanding, like a lot of locals, I'll wait to see how many cargo ships come through that hurricane barrier and whether the cash-strapped EPA plans will short-change the city in order to finally be done with the harbor cleanup.
On the state and national scene, the issues for the coming year actually look more ominous than do the local ones. The city, to most SouthCoasters, seems about to bloom with the UMass and Route 18 re-engineered downtown. But the Patrick administration, beset by the scandals in the state crime lab and public health department incompetence, is presently looking a bit unfocused, both on SouthCoast and lots of other things.
Gov. Deval Patrick did recently visit Washington on commuter rail. And mass transit projects are great job creators for an era of high unemployment. But the Tea Party Congress doesn't seem interested in Keynesian economic solutions. Don't hold your breath.
On the national scene, the winter storm sky looks ominous.
With all the hype about the "fiscal cliff," it's hard to know just how dire the consequences will be by the passing of a mere calendar page. But in the weeks following New Year's Day, our local economy will certainly not be immune if the average taxpayer is $40 lighter in their weekly paycheck. And with so many area men and women long shut out of gainful employment, Greater New Bedford's vital social services safety net could soon become too tattered to keep any midwinter at bay. That could put pressure on everything from local law enforcement to small businesses.
The country is said to be in a fragile recovery, so much of what kind of a new year SouthCoast experiences will depend on policies hammered out, or not, in Washington. The signs indeed point to more partisan gridlock as the nation seems to have permanently settled into two deeply divided camps, one progressive, one conservative, each with the backing of about half the population.
Massachusetts will hold a special Senate election in the new year, and since fewer urban voters turn out in off-cycle elections, Scott Brown or another Republican could again be headed to Washington to represent the Bay State.
Let's hope that whoever heads there, Democrat or Republican, can help move the country forward and transcend their ideological blinders. Otherwise it could be a bleak new year indeed.
We can only hope for 365 days that go in the other direction.

field trip lunch
My 2nd grader has a field trip today. The school always asks that all field trip lunches are completely disposable. Ugh.
So Magoo took a sliced orange in a zip top baggie, strawberries in a zip top baggie, Wheat Thins in a zip top baggie, a cereal bar and a box of chocolate milk. This was all packed in a paper lunch bag.
The destination of the field trip?
A tour of a landfill and then a recycling center.
Now, if that's not the height of irony, I don't know what is.

Hi! I just discovered your blog and I'll be back often :o) I'm fascinated with the bento idea, primarily because it's cute but also because the variety principle appeals to me.
And yes, I snorted out loud when I read the "punch line" of this post.
Happy bento-ing and keep those lovely posts coming!

Hi! I know this is an old post, but you don't have to use plastic bags to pack a disposable lunch. If I need a bag, I use wax paper bags, bought from my local health food store, or I make a little pouch out of wax paper or parchment. I haven't bought plastic bags in years!

aznlily, I sincerely doubt it. :(
Rach, that is a good idea. Our plastic bag consumption is very low at our house, but I can't see getting rid of them completely. I do store raw meat in them for freezing (we buy meat in bulk).
I also find the plastic baggies are the only way to store opened packs of fruit leather without it drying out. Of course that one baggie I use for that purpsose will last me months. LOL

To be honest, the crowd was a little shocked to see the woman at the parade with her child. Didn't she know there would soon be blood and screaming? They were further shocked when she pushed her way to the front of the crowd. What kind of mother was so keen to see the gory death of a man at the hands of the Roman Empire? The greatest shock, however, was to watch her step across the unspoken boundary that separated audience from spectacle and willingly interpose herself upon the death story being written for Blaise. She carried the child before him and knelt down at his feet.What a sight! A free woman kneeling at the feet of a condemned criminal! She even raised up her young son before the man and implored him to help the child who was choking on something. Blaise halted as best he could and considered the situation briefly. To the surprise of the crowd, he simultaneously prayed for the child while manipulating the child's throat. Soon, the child was fine thanks to Blaise and Blaise was kicked forward by the guards to continue upon the previously schedule death march. Blaise was more than willing to insert a little life into the story because that's what he had been doing for years.
Blaise was a physician in Caesarea who practiced his profession differently than so many others. Instead of promising great cures and healing, Blaise did not make a spectacle of himself and his talents. Yet people came from miles around to be healed and cured by his gifted hands and under his gifted prayers. He was known to be a Christian when Christianity was a crime but his goodness and benevolence were able to win over many from their uninformed biases against the Body of Christ. Whereas other physicians offered help at a very dear cost, Blaise offered very dear help at little to no cost for those who needed it most. This kind of radical and ridiculous benevolence and love rankled those who stood to gain by doing the opposite. Then, one day, the bishop of the area died and Blaise was appointed the next bishop to great acclaim from the Christian population.
Blaise was not the bishop of the area for long, though, as he was turned in by those who opposed him and his charity. He was well known for healing and curing the people whom Rome would rather forget and so he was an easy target for the powerful. They marched him to the appointed place of his execution and then raked over his body with iron combs. Each vicious stroke raised fresh blood to his skin that would never be healed by human hands. He died a martyr--having saved a child on his way to his own death--because he refused to deny the faith that caused him to give his life away in small gifts of health and prayer. Blaise died proclaiming life in the face of death and even taking a small break in the midst of a spectacle of execution to bring life to one more person.

Mr Hogan will meet with local business leaders, members of the diplomatic community and industry partners. He will also host a cocktail event at The Peninsula Manila for more than 250 VIP guests including the United Arab Emirates' Ambassador to the Philippines, His Excellency Moosa Abdulwahid Alkhajah.Mr Hogan said the anniversary celebrations in Manila reflected the growth of Etihad Airways' business in the Philippines and its importance to the airline."From a modest start of four weekly A330-200 flights in 2006, Etihad Airways now operates twice daily services to Manila with a larger Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. That's more than threefold growth in just seven years."Over the same period, we have carried more than 2.3 million passengers with an average seat factor of approximately 86 per cent, making the Philippines route one of the strongest performers in our network."Mr Hogan identified the strengthening Philippines economy – with GDP growth at 7.6 per cent in the first half of this year – as one of the key drivers of this growth."In addition to stimulating overseas business and leisure travel, the health of the Philippines economy is underpinning the growth we are seeing in our freight division – Etihad Cargo."Total trade between the UAE and the Philippines reached US$2.16 billion last year, creating significant opportunities for belly-hold cargo transportation."Mr Hogan's visit to Manila coincided with a charitable program by a team of staff volunteers."As our business has grown in the Philippines, so has our support for the local community. Over the past week, for example, volunteers have donated blankets and clothes to Filipinos who lost their homes and livelihoods in the recent typhoon."This is on top of a program whereby we donate ring-pulls from cans which are made into goods that are then sold to support the Philippine Christian Foundation's work with disadvantaged communities," Mr Hogan said. Etihad Airways' twice daily flights between Manila and Abu Dhabi connect seamlessly to the airline's global flight network. One-stop connections at the airline's modern and efficient Abu Dhabi hub are available to many popular business and leisure destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas.

The STP Ising2D program is a Monte Carlo simulation of a two-dimensional Ising model in equilibrium with a heat bath at temperature T using the Metropolis or Wolff algorithms. The default is a lattice of linear dimension L=32 (for a total of N=L^2 spins) with no external field and heat bath temperature T=0.
STP Ising2D is part of a suite of Open Source Physics programs that model aspects of Statistical and Thermal Physics (STP). The program is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the stp_Ising2D.jar file will run the program if Java is installed on your computer. Additional programs can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, STP, or Statistical and Thermal Physics.

She gushed, I'm super proud of my hubby, Mr Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey, Ne-Yo and Nicole Richie were among the stars who helped recognize young volunteers at Nick Cannon's fourth annual TeenNick Halo Awards on Saturday.
The rapperactor launched the Nickelodeon bash in 2009 to honor teenagers who are making a difference in their communities by "helping and leading others".
Actresses Lucy Hale and Victoria Justice also turned up to hand out prizes, while Carey told reporters how proud she was of her husband for hosting and spearheading the event, which was taped at the Hollywood Palladium.
She gushed, "I'm super proud of my hubby, Mr Nick Cannon. I think this is amazing, that he conceptualised the whole thing. Really, he's so involved in this. It's all about... giving back... That's what the awards are all about".
Tyra Banks, Justin Bieber, Josh Duhamel and Emma Stone each met one of this year's four Halo Awards recipients to discuss their charity work, and footage of their visits will be shown when the special is broadcast in the U.S. on Monday.

On Thursday, Bonzi Wells and Javaris Crittenton worked out for the Knicks. I actually think both these guys are intriguing for next years Knicks team. Wells hasn't played in the NBA since 2008 and Crittenton played in the D-League after being released by Charlotte. Wells was notorious for all his off court problems and his "bad boy" reputation. He's 35 years old, that's old but it's not too old to play in the league. If Wells somehow made the club, I feel like he'd be in there for like 6 minutes a game, picking up some hard fouls and playing defense. He wasn't known as a great defensive player but I do like the "bad boy" reputation he has. Javaris Crittenton, a former first round pick, is interesting in that he's immensely talented but hasn't been able to put it together. He's most notorious for pulling a gun on former teammate Gilbert Arenas in the Wizards locker room. Interestingly enough, his best game came when he was with Memphis and scored 23 points in a win over the Knicks in '08. He's 6'5 and is a good defensive player. Depending on how the draft plays out, I could definitely see Crittenton having a spot on the Knicks bench.
Also, it's interesting to point out that Amare did wonders to help Shawne Williams. Williams was plagued with off court issues and this year he was a model citizen. A lot of that has to do with Amare and his leadership capabilities. I believe the Knicks feel more comfortable with taking risks with these kind of players because of Amare's leadership. He keeps everybody focused on basketball and he keeps everyone honest and on check. His impact to the Knicks is irreplaceable because he's the leader that was sorely missed during the dreaded Isiah Thomas days. If one or both of these players catch on with New York, it's safe to say that Amare will be on their asses getting them working hard and doing the right things to become respectable citizens.Follow @tarmosino

I've previously written about my son's struggles with feeding & eating since his birth. When he turned two back at the beginning of May, he started refusing to be spoon fed the puree he'd been accepting for the previous 18mths. On a human level, I understood it – none of his friends were being spoon fed anymore, so why should he? On an emotional level & in terms of being his mother & needing to feed him, panic set in. My little boy who was still considered 'failure to thrive' (FTT) & had recently lost weight had decided to refuse all meals. His daily intake consisted of snacks & his two milk bottles & I was beside myself with worry.
I stressed about this day & night. The thoughts & knot in my stomach was all consuming & encompassing. My anxiety (Selma) was through the roof. I could see that there were no physical & developmental deficits from his lack of intake as he continued to be full of beans, energetic, able to understand my commands & had started saying a few words (although we had started speech therapy with him a few months prior). Our weekly feeding clinics continued & he showed the same level of interest he had in previous weeks (apart from his rejection of cold & wet foods) & I continued to be at a loss as to how to get him to eat meals at home. He seemed to eat some of his meals at creche which was beyond relieving for both myself & his carers as they were also worried for him.
I have often thought that having a child with feeding & eating issues was one of the cruelest jokes mother nature can play on a mother. Feeding your baby/toddler is primal & having this taken away from you is one of the most awful things for a parent to experience. A friend of mine called it 'emotional torture' & I couldn't agree more.
Months went by with no breakfast, lunch or dinner being eaten by him. He ate snacks, drank his milk & I was in a panicked frenzy every meal time & leading up to each meal. I decided to take Flynn & consulted with a Paediatric dietician to come up with some ideas of how to increase his calories & intake per day. He was prescribed Pediasure to be added into his milk & this was a successful addition to his daily bottles after a week of slowly adding the scoops (due to the vanilla flavour). I was relieved when he took his milk bottles & sometimes even finished them! It was suggested we try making other puree options for him, by pureeing meals prepared for both Orli & Seon & I due to the amount of protein in some of the on-the-shelf pouches. I bought squeeze 'ems (reusable ouches where I could put in my own purees for him to suck on), bought & stuck Peppa Pig & Thomas the Tank stickers on them to excite him about the content. I pureed, it was rejected. I froze, ice cubed chicken, beef & veggies & they were all rejected. I wished he had a PEG or g-tube because it was meal insurance – what he didn't have orally, he would still get. It was the insurance I had for his first three months of life when he was being fed nasal-gastrically. (Note: Please know I don't mean to minimise the function or use of feeding tubes & other long-term issues that feeding tubes create – weaning, oral issues etc – I am grateful for my son not having one, but my anxiety at the time just wanted my son to be fed).
I was exhausted, defeated, frustrated & disheartened. And then I surrended.
I HAD to relinquish my control over his food & his intake. I had to let him be the one to decide what & when & how he was going to eat. It has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my whole life & each day was a mental & emotional rollercoaster.
Three months of Flynn only eating at creche, we went to feeding clinic & something clicked inside Flynn's brain. He started to eat new things & was happy, excited & engaging – he wanted to share the experience with us. At this session, we started using a new technique/strategy on how we spoke & engaged with him during meals & it was a thoroughly positive experience for all. It worked. And it worked because HE had decided he was ready. It worked because the room was free of anxiety & pressure. It worked because I had surrended myself a few weeks prior. And then I didn't care why it worked – it was working.
He ate a chicken nugget, so that night at dinner it was nuggets. He ate them, I used the techniques learned that morning & I cried tears of joy that whole time. The next night I added chips (fries), which was something I was petrified of re-introducing after many failed attempts previously which included gagging/chocking & vomiting. He ate them. I cried. The next night was fish fingers as they looked similar to nuggets. He ate them. I cried. After months of offering & preparing toast, he started eating it. Meal times were more relaxed. Everyone got excited when he ate something new or tried something new. There were made up songs, dances of joy & lots of high-fives against those little toddler hands.
The next few weeks was researching recipes & preparing food together. We did healthy savoury muffins & vanilla cupcakes. I added quinoa flakes, chia seeds & at times & used veggies I'd never cooked with before. We used our strategies & techniques when he would try them & I'm proud to say that there have been many, many successes.
Even though Floo has started eating, I've had to admit I've now started worry about the nutritional value & calories content of his meals (will the worry ever be at bay?????). Some parents complain that all their child eats is nuggets & chips & I'm bloody thrilled. I've now started using Superfoods for Kidz powders in most of the foods I prepare for Flynn & Orli too. The best thing about the powder is that I can add it to batter, soups, mixtures – anything. I feel better knowing his food is 'better' for him & Orli too.
As much as I can report that Flynn's eating has improved, so has his aim. Food flies across our kitchen, yoghurt is wiped all over the table & his is proud to tell himself off 'nauttttyyy' (naughty) when he throws food all over the place. And this brings a whole new level of frustration – but he's eating & now we're experiencing what other families experience with babies/toddlers at mealtimes – which is something I've been waiting for & hoping for since his feeding issues started at eight months of age.
Another milestone we've experienced, is that we have officially eaten out as a family. We ate at a food court together which is simple & ordinary & something most families take for granted. At two years & three months, we have finally had a meal out together that didn't include me spoon feeding my son, being stressed about him eating or worrying about him cracking it & refusing his food. I had to pinch myself as this has been something I have wished for for so very long.
I could not have stayed sane during this time had it not been for the love & support shown in the LTBM Australia (Laryngomalacia, Tracheomalacia &/or Bronchomalacia Australia) closed FB group. I'm certainly not alone there when dealing a FTT child, a child with oral aversions or food sensory issues, with the feelings of anger, frustration &/or sadness. I am certainly not alone of feeling robbed. Thank you, to each & every one of you that virtually held my hand & sent hugs during the 'great food refusal of 2013'.
And to all of you that 'liked' or commented on my FB posts, photos & videos of Flynn eating – thank you. You've all made this hard (& often lonely) journey easier & it's our pleasure & honour to share our good news & wins with you all.

Dubai has welcomed another record-breaking tower this week as the Cayan Tower (formerly Infinity Tower) was inaugurated by its developer, Saudi Arabia-based Cayan Investment & Development. Cayan Tower is a 75-storey, 307m-high residential structure which is set apart by a 90 degree shift of its floorplates between the base and top, making it the tallest twisted tower in the world.
According to local publication Gulf News, future residents have already snapped up more than 80% of the 570 units on offer, 495 of which are 1-4 bedroom apartments. The reinforced concrete tower has a hexagonal floor plate set around a circular core and perforated screens to protect residents from the harsh Dubai sun. Architects behind the project, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) have incorporated a 90 degree twist into the tower to maximise viewing potential throughout the building.
SOM Design Director Ross Wimer explains: "The lower portion of the tower is oriented toward the exciting waterfront promenade of Dubai Marina, while the upper floors are rotated to face the Gulf." SOM Consulting Partner George Efstathiou furthers: "Cayan Tower adds to SOM's significant impact on Dubai's 21st century skyline. Its elegance, technological innovation and sustainability are hallmarks of our storied 75 year history. It takes its place with our finest designs, including the nearby Rolex Tower and Burj Khalifa."
To achieve this twirling shape, the corner and interior columns twist as they rise through the building and the perimeter columns have an identical shape and tilted relationship to the floor plate, simply shifted by just over a single degree from floor to floor. Straight vertical paths are achieved by confining MEP systems to the circular core or zones between the central circulation corridor and the residential units themselves.

13 killed, 27 wounded, 1 missing in action. Company fought until they ran low on ammo and were able to organize a ceasefire and hightailed it out with French help.
Sounds like to me like out CAST commitment to NATO, how damn rapid can a reaction force parked in Canada be, even if in the best scenario I'd say 12H before they are organized to leave. 8-12 hours flying, a couple hours to get organized on the ground. By the time they can be of any use the situation on the ground might be way out of their ability.
In my opinion a rapid reaction force is an organization deployable in maybe a week at the earliest. Perhaps a smaller SOF organization can move a bit quicker, but there are necessary preparations that have to be made before even the O Group moves to the embarkation airfield. We are, after all, not in the "move now, orders later" business. Certain things can be planned in outline, but the devil is in the specific details for a specific mission into the "back of beyond." As one who in my J3 days had to prepare a "no duff" rapid reaction contingency plan that was not actioned, I can attest to that. For example, do you think we maintain 1:50,000 map coverage of the world in the numbers to issue to section level and below? How about diplomatic overflight clearance?The one occasion that our old UN Standby Battalion deployed that I recall was to Cyprus in 1964. (I was no more than a spectator from my vantage point in the bar of the Brownfield Officers' Mess in Gagetown.) It was a fairly large force based on 1 R22R with the RCD Recce Sqn attached, and while most of the F echelon of the battalion along with a RCD troop deployed by air, most of the vehicles and stores and the squadron (-) sailed on HMCS Bonaventure. It took the better part of a month to complete the deployment and that was to a first world destination not that far away.
Based on the PM's performance at the UN conference in Vancouver, Atlantis is likely to be elected to the Security Council before Canada.
So, pretty much a South African version of 'Blackhawk Down' then?
Re PM Defends Canada's Peacekeeping Plan (Nov. 16 [ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canada-offers-equipment-and-soldiers-for-peacekeeping-no-decision-on-where/article36985352/] ): Canada's "traditional military role" is not peacekeeping, it's war-fighting. The role of peacekeeping involved a relatively small percentage of Canada's armed forces from the mid-1950s through to the end of the 1980s, a time when Canada maintained a mechanized infantry brigade group and an air force fighter division in Europe, and naval forces in the North Atlantic in an anti-submarine role, all armed and prepared to fight a high intensity battle against potential aggressors.Because these troops were professionally trained for war, they were highly effective in the decidedly secondary role of peacekeeping, a good thing when peacekeeping morphed into a much different task during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. Politicians, of course, favour peacekeeping as a role for the forces, as the costs are significantly less than the ever-more expensive weaponry that forces need if they are to play an effective part in maintaining peace in the world.Some Canadians still get misty-eyed over the concept of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and police officers wearing blue or orange berets and standing bravely between warring sides while diplomats and politicians work out peace agreements.Canadians are rightly proud of what our armed forces have achieved, in war and in peacekeeping, but they shouldn't be misled as to what the traditional role of the military is and always has been.John de Chastelain, chief of the defence staff (1989-93, 1994-95); Ottawahttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/letters/nov-17-peace-kept-and-not-plus-other-letters-to-the-editor/article37008051/
Not Remembering Canada's Real Post-WW II Military HistoryIt was not that peacekeeping myth so fondly mis-remembered by so many so ignorant of our past...https://cgai3ds.wordpress.com/2015/11/11/mark-collins-not-remembering-canadas-real-post-ww-ii-military-history/
At least 14 peacekeepers killed and 40 hurt in Congo attack Associated Press 8 DECEMBER 2017 • 3:53PMRebels attacked a United Nations peacekeeping base in eastern Congo, killing at least 14 peacekeepers and wounding 40 others in the worst violence against the mission in this Central African country in years.Deputy spokesman Farhan Haq in New York said the peacekeepers were mainly from Tanzania, and that at least five Congolese soldiers also were killed in the assault blamed on one of the region's deadliest rebel groups."It's a very huge attack, certainly the worst in recent memory," Haq said.The peacekeeping base is located about 45 kilometres (27 miles) from the town of Beni, which has been repeatedly hit by rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces rebel group.The base is home to the peacekeeping mission's rapid intervention force, which has a rare mandate to go on the offensive, according to Radio Okapi, which is backed by the US mission.The radio station, citing military sources, said fighting lasted four hours.Nearly 300 peacekeepers have been killed since the UN mission arrived in 1999, according to UN peacekeeping data.
And how many people have died in the Congo since 1960 while wearing Blue Berets?
About 550. Of course, the last 60 years have been much tougher on the Congolese.
....Don't blame the Congolese ... they never had a chance.
Congo ~ there's now two or three of 'em ~ was a socio-economic and political disaster zone in 1960 when the Belgians turned tail and fled in the face of a black revolt. If memory serves (I'm just too damned lazy to Google old, painful memories) there were 18 black people in Congo with university degrees when the Belgians left ... the Church did a great job, actually, and some of those nuns and priests were probably saints, but they only provided an elementary education, up to about a Belgian 8th grade standard ... maybe.The Congolese Army was, to be charitable, a shambles ... but the civil government made it look pretty good.Union Minière du Haut-Katanga, the big HUGE, corrupt and brutal Belgian mining conglomerate had its own mercenary army (a few, a small handful of them were quite good, most were white trash of the worst sort, afraid of their own shadows) and its own puppet government.The Congolese people had a whole hockey sock full of legitimate grievances ... Belgium ran way, with most of the money and left a few priests and nuns to say prayers. The Army revolted ... some of the atrocities don't bear thinking about. Brigadier (later General) Jacques Dextraze oragnized and, personally, led raids into Kantaga province to rescue hostages. RCCS Colonel "Buster" Stethem comandeered a UN or Red Cross (I cannot remember which) light aircraft and took a box of 36 grenades and conducted a "bombing mission' to break up one attack on a civilian (nuns) run relief camp not far from Leopoldville. The UN administration was a complete farce ... inept officials and the "lord high secretariat" in new York interfering in minor, local decisions and the UN military command ranged from OK, sometimes, to, too often, a nightmare.When the UN left, mid-1960s, they left the place worse than they found it and no one - not Belgium, certainly, not the USA, not the USSR and not the fledgling EEC, gave a damn because even though Congo is resource rich, Union Minière had survived and was selling whatever Congo had to whoever had cash money.Don't blame the Congolese ... they never had a chance.
Why send government troops when the private sector has done such a fine job in the Congo?Guns for Hire:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTAX4IyRqrA
The Harsh Reality: Canada and 21st Century Peacekeeping...For many Canadians, Trudeau's aspirational catchphrase "We're back!" led to a belief that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would take a rejuvenated and robust role in UN operations. This would include the deployment of combat units in peacekeeping roles to conflict regions, like the Central African Republic and Mali. However, in the last few months this political rhetoric has lessened. The recent 2017 UN Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial conference, held in Vancouver, resulted in an apparent volte-face to these previous ambitious promises. Despite that, one can argue that the assurances which have emerged as a result of this conference may be more pragmatic and versed in the nuances of domestic realpolitik than many would normally attribute to the current Liberal government. However, while this approach may resonate with a national audience, it is seemingly at the expense of meaningful contributions to international peace and security....If Canada wishes to be taken seriously internationally and within the UN, she will have to up the ante. Only by providing the necessary military forces or capabilities, coupled with supporting non-military activities needed to tangibly resolve the dilemmas that war-torn regions pose, will Canada be perceived as a team member, instead of a bystander spectating from the sidelines...Howard G. Coombs is an assistant professor and associate chair, war studies, at the Royal Military College of Canada, in Kingston, Ontario. [ex-Army, more here https://www.rmcc-cmrc.ca/en/history/howard-g-coombs ] http://www.cgai.ca/the_harsh_reality_canada_and_21st_century_peacekeeping
Colombia is a country where two civil-warring factions have disarmed and declared a peaceful end to a 50-year conflict. That means it's the peacekeeping equivalent of monitoring a Grade four class in the playground during recess.Yet inexplicably Canada dithered, pondering the potential danger of the mission until the spots were filled by other countries which didn't consider the world's safest peacekeeping assignment too risky to join.
While not Africa, Don Martin has an observation on the government's approach to peacekeeping:Waving the white flag on Canada as a middle military power

I was trying today xfce under stretch, and to my surprise It integrates very well with plasma-kde,
- It use dolphin browser as a default
- It detect kde startup shortcuts
- It detect kde user hotkeys
- kmail running pretty well.
So, now, it might be seen as an alternative a lighter KDE DE, running this kind of mix XFce/KDE.
I like it.

Haute Couture
Designer flower:
My flower:
The only supplies you need are fabric, glue, 28 gauge wire and pinking shears.
1. cut about16 inches of wire and form it into a petal shape, twisting the ends together to secure and form a stem.
Make 10 large petals, (mine were 7" long,) and 7 small petals, (5" long.)
Cut fabric wide enough to enclose the stem when folded in half.
Lay your stem on half the fabric and run a line of glue over the entire stem. Then fold the fabric over to cover the stem, pressing the fabric firmly to the wire.
Now comes the hard part. Wait and let the glue dry thoroughly!
Once it is dry, take your pinking shears and cut out the stem shape, following the outline of the wire.
Once all your stems are cut, make 2 stacks of 5 large stems, and 1 stack out of the 7 small stems, then lay the stacks on top of each other, Large-small -large.
Once they're stacked, twist the stems together to form one large stem.
Now the fun part! Start opening the petals, spreading them out like a flower.
Turn the flower over and curl the stem so it lies flat around the flower. I covered mine in duct tape first.
Thats it! I used a large safety pin to pin the flower to my jacket. This was my prototype. I think I'll make my next flower a bit smaller.

JOHNSBURG – St. John the Baptist Catholic School was awarded $500 to advance its education programs.
The school partnered with Sunnyside Little Store, a Mobil gas station and convenience store in Johnsburg, to apply for the grant through ExxonMobil's Educational Alliance Program, according to a news release.
Johnsburg schools have applied for the grant for the past 13 years and received thousands of dollars that have gone to improve athletic facilities, Johnsburg Junior High School's outdoor club, new computers and other programs, the release said.

"The Wire," HBO's groundbreaking and multi-layered drama about drugs, politics and life in Baltimore, is generally regarded by TV critics and experts as one of TV's finest and most eloquent dramas ever. The show has gained even more admirers and acclaim since it went off the air in 2008 following a five-year run.
But its rank as No. 9 on the Writers Guild of America list of the 101 "best-written" TV series in history highlights one bewildering fact.
"The Wire" is the only series in the Top 10 of the WGA list that never won an Emmy Award for outstanding writing.
The show was nominated only twice in the drama writing division, and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences failed to nominate the series in any major categories, including outstanding drama, during its entire run.
Every other series in the Top 10, including "The Sopranos," "Seinfeld," "The Twilight Zone," "All in the Family," "MASH", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Mad Men," "Cheers" and "The West Wing," won at least one award for outstanding writing for a comedy or drama, and all were nominated numerous times. "The Sopranos" won six outstanding writing Emmys.
In fact, "The Twilight Zone" is the only other series besides "The Wire" in the WGA's Top 10 "best-written" series to not receive an Emmy for outstanding comedy or outstanding drama.
Critics and other TV observers have speculated that TV academy voters were turned off by the show's dark subject matter and violence, intricate story lines that revolved around crime and narcotics in poor urban communities and its racially diverse cast, which featured several African Americans.
The best-written TV show? "The Sopranos," of course
