We are Kazinga Tours!!
We organize trips to Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. We are specialists in these countries and we have an office in Kampala from where we organize trips. We also have an office in Germany and in the Netherlands.
Kazinga Tours was started in 2006 by Felex Musinguzi from Uganda and Vincent van 't Hof from the Netherlands. Felex studied Tourism in Entebbe (Uganda) and Vincent is a fanatic Wildlife Photographer from the Netherlands. Together they started Kazinga Tours and wanted to do it different than many other safari companies.
Kazinga Tours
They were both really nature lovers and really interested in showing the country to other people. So Kazinga Tours developed a working method to give clients the WOW effect after a trip. Not just show them the country and wildlife, but really do the best for every client, within the time scale, budget and interest of the client. Including contact with the local People of Uganda. Kazinga Tours became very successful with this approach and within a few years Kazinga Tours was among the biggest and best Travel Companies in Uganda.
In 2007 Rwanda was added to the portfolio and in 2009 Tanzania was added to the portfolio of Kazinga Tours, bringing in 1 new partner, Romeo Klueger from Germany.

Our Team in Uganda is ready for you. When you send us an inquiry our team gets on it right away, so email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Felex was rewarded by the government of Uganda for this subject in 2010.
So we can truly say: Our guides speak fluent English, are very skilled and helpful and have excellent knowledge about their country and wildlife. We also employ German, French, Spanish and Dutch speaking guides. We are ready to give you the best safari adventure possible!

History of Kazinga Tours
Kazinga Tours was started in 2006 by Felex Musinguzi from Uganda and Vincent van 't Hof from the Netherlands. Felex studied Tourism at the Nkumba University in Entebbe and is a specialist in tourism and in Uganda and Rwanda. Vincent is a fanatic Wildlife photographer who studied Business Administration in the Netherlands. Vincent traveled all over the world to make Wildlife Photographs. The best place in the world to do so is East Africa. And this is what Vincent brought to Uganda.
During Vincent's trip to Uganda in 2006 he met Felex, who was the driver/guide. Right away Vincent noticed Felex was very serious and knowledgeable. The car and trip were organized by another company. The trip was okay, but could be done so much better. The vehicle was not the best for safaris and the program did not bring all the things Vincent wanted to see as a wildlife photographer. Luckily the excellent driver guide (Felex) did his very best to change the trip and make the best out of it.
Felex and Vincent had a lot of time to talk with each other and their ideas about tourism where the same. During the trip they decided to start a new company together, Kazinga Tours! This company should be different than other companies. Uganda is a great destination and every trip for every client should be the best trip, depending on their interest, time and budget. This is what they brought into practice. And with success, within a few years Uganda was among the best and biggest companies in Uganda.
Felex originally comes from Southern Uganda, Kabale region. So to add Rwanda to the portfolio was a logical next step. So in February 2007 Felex and Vincent did their first fam. trip to Rwanda. This trip was a success and Rwanda was added as a destination. During trip we met Vincent from Rwanda, who is our representative there. Vincent from Rwanda is based in Kigali.
During this trip Vincent from The Netherlands was also present at the baptism of Felex his daughter.
In 2008 Felex and Vincent met Romeo Klueger from Germany. Romeo added Uganda and Rwanda to his portfolio of trips and began to sell it successfully to the German market.
In 2009 Felex, Vincent and Romeo went to Tanzania for a fam trip. Tanzania was a great destination to add to the Kazinga Tours Portfolio.
Kazinga Tours developed itself into real specialists of these 3 countries: Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. We all went around these countries many times to make sure we could offer the best in our trips for clients. And Vincent as a fanatic Wildlife Photographer went to all corners of these countries to make good photos to show our clients what to expect.

Stein is being charged $125 per precinct, a cost originally estimated at $787,500 in total.
But Michigan Elections Director Chris Thomas said Monday the actual cost charged to Stein could be around $900,000, based on the final size of the recount and the addition of absentee ballot precincts. Any cost beyond the $125 per precinct would be borne by taxpayers at the county level, he said.
Stein's campaign said in a Tuesday news release it expects to pay a Michigan filing fee of $973,250.
But Tuesday, appearing on the "Paul W. Smith Show" on WJR-AM (760), Johnson estimated the cost will be double what Thomas estimated.
"I don't think that $900,000 will cover half," Johnson said, though there is no way of knowing for sure, in advance.
"We'll have to see exactly what the cost is."
Stein faces a deadline of 2:05 p.m. Wednesday to file for a recount in Michigan, about 48 hours after the Board of State Canvassers certified the election results showing Trump winning Michigan by 10,704 votes over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
originally posted by: BlueShaman
The taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill if she manages to raise enough money. So far she has raised $6.5M out of $9.5M (the goal was $7.5M very recently). You can see the fundraiser progress here.
I can't help but feel that this recount is just an excuse to milk some more money out of the election.
At the official counting of the electoral votes on January 6, a motion was made contesting Ohio's electoral votes. Because the motion was supported by at least one member of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, election law mandated that each house retire to debate and vote on the motion. In the House of Representatives, the motion was supported by 31 Democrats. It was opposed by 178 Republicans, 88 Democrats and one independent. Not voting were 52 Republicans and 80 Democrats.....During the debate, no Senator argued that the outcome of the election should be changed by either court challenge or revote.
Mark Brewer, the Michigan-based attorney representing Stein, arrived at the Board of Elections office in Lansing with several other attorneys representing the campaign. He brought along a check for $973,250, which represents the $125 per precinct Stein must pay for the recount.
Jessica Clarke, an attorney for the Massachusetts doctor, suggested Wednesday the Stein campaign may be willing to cover some additional costs. But she wouldn't commit to the full sum.
"Right now, no one knows what the cost of the recount is going to be," Clarke said. "Our intent is to do what we can to cover the cost of the recount."
"Most of that cost, if not all of it, should be handled by the fee," Stein said. "And if some of it is not, you know, democracy is not free."

Conner Heggie has a dream, a dream he shares with many many others. They all dream that someday soon they will see the release of Battlefront 3. Conner has set up an ambitious campaign on Facebook to get ten million likes on his Facebook Page "Who wants Battlefront III" in order to show developers there is enough of a fan-base out there who want this game and are willing to buy it. He currently has the largest page among the others that have been set up with very close to 5,000 likes in a short time.
Hell yeah, it's been 7 years since the last proper one, plus it's now only 36 likes away from 5000, hope this gain it more.
I don't think it's a matter if showing Lucas arts that there's a fan base.. They know people freakin love this game, and would buy it within an instant. I think it's a problem with the developers though, cuz I'm pretty damn sure bf3 was in the making (there's a trailer on YouTube) then the developer company was shut down.
It boggles my mind how a company which has the Star Wars license is completely incompetent at making a decent Star Wars game anymore. It also boggles my mind as to how little they listen/care about their fanbase.. Lucasarts weren't always like this.

How crazy are fans for comic-book movies? Hours after activist investor Daniel Loeb released a letter arguing that Sony (NYSE:SNE) should make better use of its entertainment assets, the Internet was ablaze with rumors that the company might sell the rights to make Spider-Man movies back to Marvel and parent Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS). Sony has since said it plans to consider Loeb's proposal yet makes no mention of disposing any of its assets.
It's hard to blame fans for getting the story wrong. Spidey is Marvel's most visible character, and Loeb is Sony's largest shareholder through his fund, Third Point LLC. He wants the company raising capital for bolstering Sony's important-but-beleaguered electronics division. An asset sale would be a natural option, says Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova in the following video.
Unfortunately, Loeb's idea is more complicated. He wants to take 15% to 20% of Sony Entertainment public and make the resulting stock available primarily to management as a carrot to boost performance of movie assets such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which is filming now.
Surprised? Don't be. Last year, Disney agreed to forfeit Marvel's claim to Spider-Man film rights in exchange for 100% of the merchandising haul. Disney might gain some influence were it to buy into a Sony Entertainment IPO, but that's presuming Sony executives take Loeb's proposal serious enough to go through with an offering. And that's anything but a guarantee, Tim says.
Do you agree? Please watch to get Tim's full take, and then leave a comment to let us know how you would unlock Spidey's big-screen value.

Classic Black-Tie Footwear
Whether slip-on or lace-up, the defining characteristic of formal footwear is its aesthetic minimalism. "Small, slim, and narrow feet give a light, quick, and (and hence) young lift to the overall silhouette" explains the black-tie treatise The Aesthetics of the Tuxedo, pointing out that this optical slight-of-hand was often employed by vintage fashion illustrators. Consequently, formal shoes have a distinctly slipper-like appearance.
Patent leather was the material of choice for evening shoes from the 1850s through to the 1950s when well-polished calfskin became an acceptable alternative. In both cases the high gloss of the shoe is intended to complement the outfit's various silk facings as part of black tie's sophisticated contrast of textures. Just be sure to avoid inexpensive patent PVC (vinyl) footwear as it will not only look cheap but will crack and peel as well.
Formal Pump (Court Shoe)
The formal pump (also known as an opera pump or, in the UK, men's court shoe) has its origin in eighteenth century court dress and has changed very little in the ensuing three hundred years. A vestige of an era of more effete men's wear – it was originally worn with knee breeches and silk stockings – it is often misunderstood by more macho contemporary dressers. However, sartorial connoisseurs continue to appreciate its club elegance and the aristocratic nature of footwear intended to be worn exclusively indoors.
The evening pump is decorated with a silk bow, either pinched or flat, that complements the overall outfit in a couple of ways according to The Aesthetics of the Tuxedo. First, it coordinates with the necktie to bookend the suit and, secondly, it tricks the eye into seeing a smaller vamp (the upper portion of the shoe where the bow sits) thus enhancing the illusion of a smaller foot. While it would stand to reason that the bow should be satin or grosgrain to coordinate with the rest of the outfit's facings, it is almost always grosgrain. This is because the high gloss of the shoe's leather already complements the luster of the facings and so the bow fabric is utilized to offset the pump's sheen rather than overdo it.
Pumps have traditionally been associated with dancing which is why they are often quilted for additional comfort. However their slight build and lack of ties require that they fit the foot perfectly in order not to slip at the heel.
Formal Lace-Up (Oxford)
Although not as formal as the pump, the evening lace-up still boasts an impressive heritage dating back to the turn of the twentieth century. The low-cut oxford derives its elegance from its "closely cropped soles, delicately beveled waist, and glovelike fit" as Dressing the Man so poetically explains. In addition, the ready-to-wear version has an advantage over its slip-on counterpart because of its ability to fit a wider variety of foot shapes and subsequent reduced likelihood of pinching or slipping while dancing.
Laced shoes must be as simple as possible in order to respect formalwear's refined minimalism. In this regard,
- oxfords are the only allowable style; wingtips and brogues should be avoided as they are too similar to daily work shoes and loafers are also much too casual
- plain-toe oxfords are preferable to the extra seam required by cap-toe versions
- the closed-laced balmoral (considered the only true oxford by the British and by American traditionalists) is considered more formal than the open-laced blucher (derby in UK) due to its more streamlined contour
- wholecut models have uppers cut from a single piece of leather and therefore trump standard versions due to the absence of side seams
Formal Hose
With a classic black-tie ensemble even the hosiery is carefully selected to enhance overall elegance. The traditional choice is black silk socks, descendants of the hose worn at court with knee breeches. The material's dull luster serves as a an effective complement to the trouser's silk stripes and an elegant transition from the matte wool of the trousers to the glossy finish of the shoes. When wearing a midnight blue dinner suit hose should be of the same color.
Fine-ribbed cotton-lisle and even wool have been acceptable alternatives for evening hose since Edwardian times. However, GQ's Style Guy wisely advises that if a man is wearing pumps he should make sure the socks are very thin because "If you wear them with thick black socks you'll look like a lesbian."
Regardless of the material or color chosen, formal socks must be calf height. There is probably no better way to ruin a formal outfit than by flashing bare shins when you sit or cross your legs.

Brazil election: Economy at heart of battle
It is not the kind of economic background Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff must have hoped for in her run for re-election.
Just five weeks before the voting that will take place on 5 October, it was announced that Brazil had fallen into a recession earlier this year.
The economy of South America's largest country shrank by 0.6% in the second quarter of this year and by 0.2% in the first.
Analysts are projecting Brazil's growth to be less than 1% in 2014 while inflation is at the higher end of the central bank's target.
In 2010, when Ms Rousseff was first voted into office for the Workers' Party, the economy was growing at 7.5%, attracting positive headlines both at home and abroad.
It is hardly surprising, then, that the economic slowdown has become fertile ground for opposition candidates to exploit.
Silva's challenge
"This will probably be the most competitive election in Brazil since the late 1980s," says Carlos Melo, from the business school Insper.
"The slowdown has not had a huge impact on the life of most Brazilians yet, as unemployment is low.
"But it has helped to undermine expectations about the future."
Even so, until 13 August this year, opinion polls suggested Ms Rousseff was the clear favourite to win the election.
But everything changed when a plane crash tragically killed one of the candidates, Eduardo Campos of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), who was running in third place.
The former environment minister and internationally acclaimed green activist Marina Silva, who was already Mr Campos's running mate, was confirmed as his successor.
The most recent surveys suggest she is tied with President Rousseff for votes in the first round, which would trigger a second round of voting, and that she could actually win in a second round.
The latest polls also suggest that Aecio Neves, of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), a former governor of the state of Minas Gerais, has dropped from second to third place.
'Viable alternative'
Ms Silva is presenting her candidacy as a way of promoting "political renewal", as she does not belong to the Workers' Party or the PSDB - the two parties that have dominated the country's politics in the last two decades.
"She has grown as a viable alternative partly because she placates the clamour for change of both the left and the right in Brazil," says Armando Castelar, an economist at Fundacao Getulio Vargas.
He explains that on the one hand, Ms Silva has indicated support for business-friendly and liberal policies, and that this has helped win her the sympathy of the markets and votes from Brazil's elite.
On the other hand, her personal story - born in a poor rubber tappers' community in the Amazon and overcoming illiteracy and sickness - together with her green activist credentials, appeals to left wing voters.
However, some are also uneasy about her conservative moral stance as an evangelical.
"Ironically, Ms Silva is also gaining support among the new middle class, which has emerged in society during the last decade of the Workers' Party administration," says political scientist David Fleischer, from the University of Brasilia (UNB).
He believes this is happening because as people have joined the formal job market and started to pay taxes, their expectations have also changed.
"Now they want good quality public education, health and public transportation services."
Gains at risk
The Workers' Party has been in power since 2003 and during that period millions of Brazilians have been lifted out of poverty.
This is generally attributed to increases in the minimum wage and to social programmes such as Bolsa Familia, which encourage school attendance and vaccinations in exchange for income support. It reaches an estimated 50 million people.
In recent years unemployment has also fallen to historically low levels despite sluggish growth, which Ms Rousseff has also highlighted in her campaign.
Support for the government started to fall after millions of Brazilians took to the streets last year amid a wide range of grievances, ranging from the rising costs of public transport to police violence and the expenses associated with this year's World Cup.
The government's approval ratings improved slightly in July when it became clear that the World Cup was running much more smoothly than many had anticipated.
In the past few weeks, however, with the football behind them, Brazilians have been faced again with some sobering economic headlines.
Last Wednesday, even the president admitted she wished Brazil "was growing at a more rapid pace", and signalled for the first time that she could make changes in her economic policies in a second term.
Opposition leaders argue Brazil's economy has lost dynamism because of an "excess of interventionism" and a lack of reforms to improve the environment in which businesses have to operate.
"What worries me the most is the 7% inflation and 1% growth that will be left for us to deal with if we win," says Aecio Neves, comparing Brazil's economic indicators with the national team's 7-1 defeat by Germany during the World Cup.
The government blames a less favourable international environment for the slowdown and claims that a wave of unjustified pessimism has inhibited investments.
Economic expectations
President Rousseff's campaign claims that if the opposition wins it may push through economic changes that would put recent social advances at risk.
Both Ms Silva and Mr Neves insist they will preserve and even expand social policies - some of which, opponents point out, predate the Workers' Party government.
"Debates about the level of government expenses may appeal to an elite, but what a large proportion of Brazilian voters want to know is whether they will keep on receiving social benefits, if inflation will remain low and if there will be jobs and credit for everyone," says David Fleischer.
It is on these key bread and butter issues that the final outcome of the election may be decided.

text: There are some things about Safari in iOS 7 that seem like great ideas in concept but aren't quite working out the way they are currently implemented. Does anyone else have a problem with these new features? - The disappearing bottom toolbar. I like it but many times I find myself wanting to go to another bookmark, looking down, not seeing the button, and not knowing what to do. Then I have to remember to scroll up or down enough to bring it up, but I'm not sure how much to scroll so every time there is a bit of uncertainty. - Swipe to go back/forward. I really like this feature but I find that when using my iPhone with my left hand and scrolling a page with my left thumb I frequently initiate a partial swipe back instead of scrolling. - The unified search and .com button. I wanted this like everyone else but it just isn't working because the keyboard is too cramped. Maybe we need a row of buttons above the keyboard like Chrome. (Or, as I write this I notice, iOS puts a form back forward and Done button above the keyboard in Safari when typing in a form. Why not put the .com up there?) - Favorite icons when taping in the URL bar. It seems confusing to have favorites in two places. Should I be using the menu as always, or this new full page interface? At the very least it should not be scaling up the small icons so they're pixelated and ugly, keep them small if they're not big enough. I think all these things can be smoothed out before release. And hopefully they will be.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) will report its Q3 2017 earnings on October 17, and we expect the company to post solid numbers, owing to three primary factors – a ramp up in key oncology drug sales, the Actelion acquisition, and forex gains.
Firstly, the company expects a ramp up of sales in the second half for its key oncology drugs – Imbruvica and Darzalex – which we believe are J&J's pharma business' best bets for near term growth. In the first half of 2017, these two drugs reported sales of $1.4 billion, representing an 85% jump compared to the prior year period. We expect the full year sales for these two drugs to be north of $3.2 billion. It should be noted that J&J shares Imbruvica's marketing rights with AbbVie, which is highly optimistic about Imbruvica's prospects and expects overall peak sales to reach $11 billion. This implies that J&J's share of peak sales could hit $4-5 billion. Similarly, Darzalex is estimated to have peak sales potential of as much as $7 billion. You can read why we believe that these drugs are important for J&J's near term growth in a previous note, Imbruvica And Darzalex Are of Key Importance For J&J's Future Growth.
Secondly, J&J completed the $30 billion acquisition of Swiss biotech Actelion in June. With Actelion, J&J now has access to some high-margin medicines. Actelion focuses on rare diseases which tend to have more price protection and fewer competitors. The acquisition has boosted J&J's cardiovascular portfolio, which doesn't have much except Xarelto and Invokana. While Xarelto is holding its ground for J&J, Invokana has been under competitive pressure and has seen sales drop by 18% in the first half of 2017, compared to the prior year period.
- Johnson & Johnson's Outlook Remains Strong After Solid Q3
- What To Watch For In Johnson & Johnson's Q3
- A Look At Johnson & Johnson's Late Stage Pharmaceuticals Pipeline
- Johnson & Johnson's Oncology Segment Will Likely See Strong Growth In The Near Term Led By Zytiga & Darzalex
- Johnson & Johnson Q2 Earnings Beat Led By A Solid Growth In Oncology Drug Sales
- What To Watch For In Johnson & Johnson's Q2?
Lastly, J&J saw solid gains from foreign exchange fluctuations, given the company's global footprint. The company reported a $1.2 billion gain from currency exchange in the first half of 2017 and we believe this trend will likely continue in the third quarter as well.
While we remain optimistic about J&J's performance, pricing issues and competitive pressure may keep growth in check in the third quarter. It should be noted that J&J, in its previous earnings call, stated that it will keep its annual drug price increases below 10%, below those of its competitors, which likely suggests looming pricing concerns.
Our price estimate of $126 for Johnson & Johnson is slightly below the current market price.

Q: Have you ever played a game?
Q: When playing a game, do you play to win?
Q When playing to win, do you do what it takes?
OR is participating all that is really important?
I am probably a little older than you, in that I am close to ending my working life and life in general. When I play anything, I play to win and get the hell out of my road or you will get hurt!
Q: Have you been in business?
get the hell out of my road or you will get hurt!
Q: How many books of fiction published in the US last year, this year and every year, made money or broke even?
If you want a publisher to publish your book and probably lose money, he better be sure you got what it takes to get it to print, after you polish it some.
Q: Do you want fame, fortune, recognition?
Q: Possible the best writer of fiction ever to date, Charles Dickens how much fame, fortune, recognition, did he get in his lifetime?
A: Zero.
He CRAVED IT!, he got ZERO!
You think you have a hard life? You are getting a hard time?
Then stop coming here. Stop going to agents, publishers and other mean people in the FICTION industry.
Am I being hard on you? Hell yeah!
= get the hell out of my road or you will get hurt!
Everyone who has been there, and done that, to any level of success will tell you that if they knew how hard it was going to be b4 they started, they would never have embarked on the journey.
PMA stands for Positive Mental Attitude so go and find that section in the book store. Self Help covers the same thing. It is all about how to make it big, by someones rules who has done it. OR thinks they know how it goes.
I suggest that if you think EVERYONE in our industry is mean, get the hell out of my road or you will get hurt! I came to writing late in life and got cut to ribbons. Now I am a big boy and no my way around a lot of things. I have fought for a living and nearly died for a living. So I am no pussy cat. But when I came here I found that my current standard was not going to make it. The funny thing is, I never came here to "help make it". I came here looking for a real writer. If you find my first post, which was here b4 they changed the software, then you can verify that.
I have completed 20 works of fiction, does that qualify me as a writer, nope, nothing does, ask Charles Dickens. Sunny, if you wanna write, write. To be published or even read, is a whole different ball game. BUT write cos it pleases you, not someone else, ask Charles Dickens!

Behind Enemy Lines in MLB
Yo, this is Nicky and I'm back in the saddle after a short break and ready to take you the rest of the way through the World Series. We were on quite the tear before we took a break so let's see if we can pick up where we left off. On Monday night the train finally comes into the station for the LA Dodgers. Their freight train has been rolling for quite some time, particularly on the road, but the 14 game road win streak comes to an end tonight against Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals. The Dodgers have been the hottest team in the NL and take out the Rays, the best in baseball but with Hanley out of the lineup I don't think they're going to get enough offense to beat the division leaders. That's the chowder, I'm Nicky, stay in the ring and keep your gloves up!

Over the past several months, many resources have crossed my desk and my screen, via social media, encouraging schools to focus on curiosity. Some asking schools to instill curiosity in students while others encourage teachers to ask questions to identify issues and topics students wonder about.
Consistent in these resources are the concepts of creativity, inspiration, questioning, engagement, relevance and mysteries; leading me to be curious if these concepts are common in today's schools. I believe there is a positive connection between what interests students, their motivation to learn and their positive development.
In my experience — over the past 30 years working in schools and 12 years as a K-12 student — the answer is that there is very little alignment between the concepts common to curiosity and common to schooling.
This is not to say that some teachers in some schools engage their students' curiosity by asking the right questions, seeking their insights, ensuring relevance of academic subjects to their lives and responding to their inquiries. However, before we can integrate strategies to incorporate curiosity into classrooms, schools must first create and ensure there is a corresponding school climate. Far too often schools assist teachers to acquire/enhance new strategies but fail ensure they are supported by the quality and character of the school.
For me, context is as important as content. That is why I advocate for creating and sustaining a school climate that encourages and responds to the curiosity of students.
Think about a school that is welcoming of all questions students ask about things they care about. Consider a school that is willing to not have all the answers to questions students ask and find the answers together. And, how about a school that takes time for students to ponder about things that intrigue them.
If we do not create a school climate described above it will be difficult for teachers to implement classroom strategies that foster rather than inhibit curiosity.
As we create school climates that encourage and support curiosity in students, I believe we will find that teachers, staff, administrators and parents will also be encouraged to be more curious about things that are of interest and matter to them.

Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Abi Williams as SFS Centennial Fellow. Dr. Williams served as the first President of The Hague Institute for Global Justice for the past four years. He spearheaded its development into a vibrant think and do tank working on issues at the critical intersection of peace, security and justice.
"I cannot begin to say how happy we are to have Abi Williams return to the Walsh School of Foreign Service," Senior Associate Dean Anthony Clark Arend said. "Dr. Williams embodies the ethos of the Walsh School – a trained academic with extensive real-world experience. He will be an amazing resource for our students."
The Centennial Fellows program at the School of Foreign Service brings distinguished practitioners and scholars to be resources for students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as the broader public.
Williams' work will focus on completing an edited book on the relationship between the United Nations Secretaries-General and the Security Council to be published by Oxford University Press. He will also give presentations to classes on international organizations and contribute to a lecture series on global justice.
Dr. Williams previously served at the United States Institute of Peace, first as Vice President of the Center for Conflict Analysis and Prevention, and later as Senior Vice President of the Center for Conflict Management leading its work in major conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Libya. From 2001-2007, he served as Director of Strategic Planning for United Nations Secretaries-General Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Annan. He gained valuable field operational experience, serving with the United Nations from 1994 to 2000 in peacekeeping operations in the Balkans and Haiti, in senior political and humanitarian roles.
He has strong ties to the Walsh School of Foreign Service, having served as a faculty member from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. He was voted by students as Outstanding Teacher of the School in 1992, and was awarded the School's Constantine E. Maguire Medal.
He holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and received the Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award from Tufts University. "I have always valued my links with the Walsh School and am delighted to be back in a new role. I look forward to working with colleagues across different disciplines and supporting a new generation of students," said Dr. Williams.

Travel Talk: A Traveller's Timely Take on Egypt

Travel Talk: A Traveller's Timely Take on Egypt
With the ongoing turmoil in Egypt, especially Cairo, I turn today to professional travel blogger Gary Arndt, the mastermind behind the award-winning " Everything Everywhere" web site, for his reflections. Gary has covered a lot of ground in Egypt, travelling from Cairo to Alexandria to Aswan to Luxor. In his words, he "got a good feel for the country." He writes:
There are many reasons to travel, but the empathy you develop for other places might be the greatest. It converts a news story from anonymous people in an unknown place to people with a face.That statement resonated with me. I've visited many places on the heels of a disaster (spots in southeast Asia slammed by the Tsunami) but that has been after-the fact. Gary shares a poignant take on how it feels to watch chaos unfold in a place where you've already visited and for whose citizens you've developed a certain connection, if not outright affection. [caption id="attachment_2905" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Egypt, land of beauty, wracked by turmoil. Photo: Gary Arndt"] [/caption] He adds:
It isn't just Egypt of course. This effect kicks in any time something happens in a place you've been before. A place where you've met people and seen things first hand on the ground. Protests in Thailand, floods in Queensland, or even renovations in the Vatican all mean a little more to me having been there.[caption id="attachment_2907" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="One of the great sphinxes of Egypt. Courtesy of EAIMS"] [/caption] We can sit through documentaries, audit a history class or watch endless news coverage to form impressions of a country, of a culture. It's one way to stay informed, albeit through the filter of someone else's eyes. I think Gary says it best:
Ultimately, if you want to understand the rest of the world, to really understand it, you have to visit it yourself. That can only happen by traveling.You can read Gary Arndt's entire post on the subject of Egypt's crisis. He also writes about the beauty of the country. And that's what we mustn't forget.

|Summary, etc.:
Devotion re-creates the life of Varina Anne (Winnie) Davis, the youngest child of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. Winnie was not quite a year old when the family fled the Rebel stronghold of Richmond as the Civil War was ending. Twenty-one years later, Winnie was catapulted into a celebrity she did not seek. As the officially proclaimed Daughter of the Confederacy, she was presented with great fanfare at large conventions of Confederate veterans from Texas to Virginia. In the late nineteenth century, Winnie Davis was known here and abroad as a foremost cultural symbol of the South's Lost Cause.Yet she was also a cosmopolitan, intellectual "New Woman" who earned a living as a journalist and novelist and traveled with the Joseph Pulitzers. Winnie's adoring followers often misread her steadfast love for her father as unconditional support of the failed Confederacy and the Old South's nostalgic ideals of womanhood. Julia Oliver explores...

After working as a hospital librarian for ten years in Indianapolis, Chris Bishop brought his expertise to Marian University as the health sciences librarian. Bishop's main goal is to show students and faculty how to access library materials, do proper research, and critically analyze information. Bishop adds that the instruction can take place in the classroom, his office, the hallway, at lunch, or even via email outside of regular office hours.
Bishop's day-to-day work varies, but he mainly collaborates with the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Leighton School of Nursing to offer access to the most relevant evidence-based health care information. Bishop recently created a new website for MU-COM that includes board review materials. The website and its contents were all requested items from medical students, and he hopes the site will become a one-stop shop for university-provided board review resources.
Q & A with Chris Bishop
Q: What is your favorite part of working at Marian University?
A: Personally, I enjoy the all-campus Mass. Professionally, as a part of Marian University, I have been blessed with some great continuing education opportunities with the Medical Library Association and the Indiana Health Sciences Library Association.
Q: What is the most frequently asked question by students in the library?
A: I think it would surprise many to know that not all students have access to the latest tablet or laptop. One of the most frequently asked question that I get when I am in the library is, "Do you have laptops I can check out?" The answer is, yes, we do! The most frequently asked question that I get overall via the library, email, or phone has to do with authentication issues with off-site library resources and databases and utilization of those resources on their mobile devices.
Q: When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: A police officer. In kindergarten I asked my neighbor who was the chief of police to come to my "show and tell." He came in uniform with his hat, cuffs, and gun. That was pretty much the high water mark of my elementary school career!

She's still long and skinny. At 4 1/2 months, she weighed in at 11 pounds, 12 ounces(8%) and was 25 3/4 inches tall(90%). I was/am a little worried about her head because it is only 15 1/4"(8%). They even checked it three times to make sure. The doctor said that developmentally, Isabella is perfectly fine, so it should be OK.
We decided to start her on baby cereal to try and fatten her up a little bit. Friday night was the first time she had cereal and at first she made a face and spit it out. After a few minutes she would reach for the spoon and try to get it in her mouth herself. She would still push it out with her tongue, but that is just part of learning to eat.
She went through a week or two where she was waking up 2 times at night, but now she's back to sleeping most of the night. She goes down around 9:30pm and wakes up at 6am to eat, then goes back to sleep until 10-11am.
She rolls all over the house and takes it all in. She's starting to play with toys(AKA chew on them) and will scoot herself to get closer to whatever she wants to put in her mouth. If she gets too close to one of Evan's toys, he'll go and say "NO baby, mine!". I tell him he needs to share and he'll usually put it back down on the floor and show her how to play with it.
She's my little thumb sucker. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that when she gets older. As soon as she starts to get a little fussy, she'll stick her thumb right in her mouth. My mom calls her the Simpson baby, but instead of the paci, it's her thumb.
She's very mild mannered and will always go along with the flow. She almost never cries. The only time you hear from her is if she's really sleepy or hungry. Usually if she's sleepy she'll just put her thumb in her mouth and put herself to sleep.
Just for comparison and so I have it recorded somewhere else, Evan was 12 pounds, 15 ounces and 25 1/2 inches long at 4 months.

Cities are diverse places. The feelings they provoke in residents and visitors are as complex as their infrastructure. Our tutorials this month show how you can capture people's feelings to convey a perspective which reveals something about real urban lives. By showing people in your photography you can tell richer stories about city life, rather than simply shooting buildings or landmarks.
Prints for your favourite city people

If you've struck up a conversation with your subjects while you've been exploring city portraiture, or been shooting people you know, make prints of them and send or give them to your subjects. Small 10x15cm prints or 13x18cm prints printed on photo papers are quick and easy to create with your PIXMA printers. Glossy, and Semi-Gloss papers are available. Matte and lustre papers are also available in sizes from A4 upwards. Make sure to select the right paper type and size in the printer driver settings when printing.
Create a bigger picture
Collect a series of portraits of people that define the city you photograph. Then print the pictures as a collage using the Canon My Image Garden software to layout multiple pictures on one sheet of paper. It often works even better when printed large. These collages are ideal for A3 size if your printer supports it. Larger size media (A3+) is also supported on PIXMA iP8750 and PIXMA PRO series printers.

Journalist & Producer
I'm a reporter covering breaking news for KPFA Pacifica Radio (94.1FM) based in Berkeley, CA. I cover local policy issues and demonstrations for social justice, everything from immigrant rights, fair housing, and healthcare, to labor disputes, environmental protections, and criminal justice reform. I'm interested in land-based organizing and coalition building.
As a producer, I've coordinated special coverage for KPFA Radio including the live 2016 Primaries and Election Night coverage, "Free Speech" demonstrations at and around UC Berkeley, and training new reporters for the KPFA News. I also assist with production for UpFront (Mon-Fri 7am - 9am) on KPFA. UpFront delivers a mix of local, state, and international coverage through challenging interviews, civil debates, breaking updates, and in-depth discussions with authors.
I frequently do tape syncs for national broadcast, and past experience includes interviews for Latino USA, the BBC, NPR's Morning Edition, WNYC's Note to Self and many other podcasts.
As a reporter, I am deeply committed to news gathering and story telling with integrity, honesty and humility. It's never a perfect process but in this age of digital sharing and deep attention divides, it's important to me to bring breaking news to the public's attention that is authentic, informative, and focused on systems and solutions. I love radio broadcast because I can support people speaking to the public directly - sharing facts, research, personal opinion, beliefs, and experiences. Radio journalism enables the public to hear people speak out, in their own words.
I have a master's degree in international policy and development from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, CA. I believe we have a moral responsibility to understand and continually educate ourselves about the impacts of US foreign policy, corporate business and military actions around the world, and support human rights, justice, and reparations for harm done. Likewise international bonds must be strengthened in order to achieve our goals for a sustainable future and avoid environmental catastrophe. I love covering the Bay Area, CA and I hope that my reporting can elevate shared values and universal themes in the struggles for dignity, equity, creative expression and self determination.

I checked in online on SA's website on the eve of the flight, but there was no way of receiving the boarding pass on my cell phone (no 3G network in Victoria Falls). Checking in to the AF flight, which I took next, was also online on SA's website and also they let you choose your seat (which is impossible on airfrance.com).
At the airport, check-in was quick and with no problems.
My luggage was checked all the way to CDG (some of the people who were traveling with me took the BA flight that was 45 minutes after mine and they were unable to check their luggage to CDG and had to pick up their bags in JNB just to check them again).
Boarding was just 5 minutes late. No priority boarding or separate boarding for business class clients.
Pleasant flight. Arrived on time.
The seat was comfortable, with enough legroom.
Service on board was good. No welcome cocktail, but they gave us an aperitif and the meal was plentiful and good.
The cabin crew was attentive and nice.
In short, it was a nice flight.
