en | N/A | N/A | Destructive Effects of Harmonic Distortion A power system's 3 Device-dispersionexample 74 3. Too much harmonic distortion can result in slow and steady damage to sensitive electronic equipment and motors. Harmonic distortion may be expressed in terms of the relative strength of individual components, in decibels, or the root mean square of all harmonic components: Total harmonic distortion (THD), as a percentage. In turn, interaction of harmonic currents from the devices with high impedance caused due to parallel resonance leads to a high harmonic distortion in voltage. Effects of Harmonics: One of the major effeThe harmonic components were tuned in frequency and physiologically vulnerable, implying that they were related to the cell-derived force that sharpens tuning at low levels in healthy cochleae(p Harmonic distortion is converted to timing errors by the phase detector. The measure of distortion is the percentage of all harmonic voltages present in the signal being measured compared with the level of the pure sine wave component. Harmonics symptoms are usually anything but subtle.Harmonic Distortion • Harmonic problems are becoming more apparent because more harmonic producing equipment is being applied to power systems –VFD’s – Electronic Ballasts –UPS • Additionally, in many cases, these electronic based devices can also be more sensitive to harmonics Effective Grounding Surge Solutions Harmonic Solutions. Since the first AC generator went online more than 100 years ago, electrical systems have experienced harmonics. Harmonic Distortion Produced by Synchronous Generator in Thermal - Power Plant ELESCHOVA ZANETA, BELAN ANTON, MARTIN MUCHA Department of Power Engineering Slovak University of Technology Ilkovicova 3, Bratislava SLOVAK REPUBLIC Abstract: - At the present time, the area of energy interference is highly relevant cause of these reasons: wide-range of. An undesired consequence is that the waveform's fifth harmonic demodulates power near 190 kHz. The defined indices are: 1. Total Harmonic Distortion is important when considering equipment, but only to a certain point. The causes of even harmonic distortion, which are in the recording process itself, all have one thing in common. In the case of variable speed drives, harmonic current distortion is caused by the input rectifier component, typically a six-pulse diode rectifier. The spectrum of the output shows added frequency components at 2x the original signal, 3x, 4xAntonyms for Harmonic frequency. Problems Resulting from Harmonic Distortion.

Simulations using nonlinear codes [13]–[15] have predicted suppression by harmonic injection, for example, but. For example, series reactors are used to limit the amount of fault current since inductors resist a change in current.,. Individual harmonics are referred to by the harmonic number, that is a distortion component which is twice the original frequency is called the second harmonic. 5 Distortion factor ν p.

HARMONIC DISTORTION OF THE REFERENCE WAVEFORM. but in practical adc i have some frequency that they are not harmonic of input frequency,i think called them distortion. This crossover distortion is composed of mainly third harmonic distortion, with a bit of fifth harmonic distortion as well. Efforts to manage harmonic distortion that accompanied the VFDs are what led to the writing of IEEE-519, a standard which expressly links harmonic distortion with power system resonance conditions. I don't disagree that even harmonics are present (but my ears don't tell me that, so I'll take the word of people who have done spectral analyses). These loads create harmonic distortion that can have adverse effects on your equipment. Yet, it becomes simpler when it is divided into the fundamental definitions of harmonics and distortion0% • Total Harmonic Voltage Distortion [ V Abstract: Power factor has increasingly become a topic of discussion when specifying loads and AC/DC or AC/AC power sources. > > > now, for Les and Mark.

Cable Heating Effects due to Harmonic Distortion in Electrical Installations Kevin O’Connell, Martin Barrett, Jonathan Blackledge and Anthony Sung Abstract—The increasing use of non-linear loads in electrical installations has exacerbated the problems of harmonic distortionThe presence of nonlinear electronic loads will cause increasing spectral injectors of low order harmonic currents into the grid [ 4 ]. Wins. Why use a Harmonic Filter? Harmonic filters are used in some installations because the harmonic levels are too hgh and are causing problems with other equipment. For induction machines, negative sequence harmonic currents will also cause a negative torque, which of course isn't good. THD is the relationship of all present harmonics to the fundamental frequency—exs to the power of fundamental frequency.

So much has happened since I last blogged on May 17. The mayor’s phase 1 reopening on May 29 coincided with the national tsunami of reaction to the George Floyd murder, and now the country’s president is riding roughshod over lawful protesters and the District of Columbia. It’s a time for coming together to combat racial injustice, and coming together as a D.C. community to demand our rights as American citizens. All while we try to keep safe as covid continues to move among us.
It’s a lot. And in the midst of it, I’d like us to remind ourselves (many will not need the reminder) that there are many people served by the Department on Disabilitywho are people of color, and who therefore have dual risks in their dealings with law enforcement. In recent days our local spotlight has been more on the misbehavior of federal authorities and not so much on the MPD, but this may be a timely moment for us to regroup as a community around the issue of police interactions at the local level. The DD council, with Project ACTION!, is planning to facilitate a conversation among self-advocates along these lines as a starting point.
I really don’t know what else I want to say. Like many of you, I’m a little in shock, a lot worried, and trying to think which way to turn.

Allow us prove this statement WRONG </s> Eastern Wood-Pewee
Preferred Habitat: Deciduous woodlands, including urban shade trees.
Seasonal Occurrence: Greatest numbers in the spring and fall. Also common in summer. Breeds in our area.
Profile by Bryce Loschen: Eastern Wood-Pewees are a medium-sized grayish flycatcher with long wings and tail, short legs, two wing bars, and a peaked crown giving the head a triangular shape. From the front, you can see the sides of the breast are dusky gray with a lighter throat and belly, making it look as though they are wearing a vest. Eastern Wood-Pewees are known for their distinctive pee-a-wee call which is a common summer sound for much of the Eastern US. Compared to flycatchers from the Empidonax genus, Eastern Wood-Pewees have longer wings, much duller eyerings, and have the characteristic grayish “vest.” Eastern Phoebes are also similar, but are a darker brownish color, have weak wing bars, and no vest. Western Wood-Pewees look almost identical to their eastern cousins, and are best distinguished by range and voice.
Eastern Wood-Pewees are woodland birds. They are often found near forest edges and cle Pewees will sit on an exposed branch part way up the canopy then sally out to catch an insect in the air. One study found that parents will make an average of 68 sallies per hour during the breeding season when feeding young. Their diet is mostly insects including flies, butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, stoneflies, and mayflies. On occasion they will also consume berries. During breeding Eastern Wood-Pewees make nests on tree branches which are a covered with lichens. The nests are small and well camouflaged and may look like a bump or knot on the branch from the side or below.
Eastern Wood-Pewees breed throughout the eastern US and southern Canada and winter in northern South America. Many pass through Texas during spring and fall migrations and some breed in the woodlands in the eastern half of the state. They areReasons for decline are not well known. If you want to see one for yourself, come down to Houston Audubon's High Island Sanctuaries to catch them on their way back south for the winter!
Comments by Don Verser: Eastern Wood-Pewees might be confused with Olive-sided or Willow Flycatchers. Pewees are usually vocal and frequently give a characteristic call note.

Breakfast at Alla Lenz
Nice, small hotel with a warm family velcome. Just what we looked for....
Pension Allez Lenz is very convieniently located near bus,tram and underground train stations. The travelling time to the city is only 5 minutes. The hotel is staffefor tourists to Vienna. Breakfast was of good quality. We very much enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
We were very content with our stay on Hotel Alla Lenz. The service was especially good!
The hotel is situated in a quiet area, fairly close to the Metro station. The staff was welcoming and a very gracious hostess precided over the breakfast. She helped us plan our outing for the day. The AC was switched off at night, but the fact was mentioned in the hotel details, so one can't really complain. Nevertheless, we found the nights hot and could do nothing about it. The hotel was rated as 4 star, which it definitely is not, but it was not bad for the price.
The hotel's best asset is is female receptionist who welcomed us warmly on our arrival in Vienna. She was most helpful throughout our stay and gave us lots of advice on practical things that we needed to know. The bedroom was too small for two people but it was clean and well kept. Breakfast was enjoyable.
Was fine as reserved. We arrived day early - room provided was $120, hotel refused to change us to our agreed room at $86. At ehck out we were surprised with a $15 a day car park fee - it had shown as free.
well located close to the underground, quiet hotel where the staff are pleasant. rooms are kitsch
The standard of the hotel was v in respect of what to see and how to get around Vienna.
La proprietaria e' gentilissima e ci ha fornito molte chicche sulla citta'.
Probobly for Wien price was acceptable but I was in MUnich before and for this same price I got great room.Also I was not told that it was a pension instead a hotel.Made some diference in regard of offered services
How to reach Pension Alla Lenz
From highway A2, foDrive along the Triester Straße until the Wiental-Gürtel-West sign. Turn left and follow the signs until the Praha sign. Now follow the indications above from the railway station.
From Westbahnhof railway station, take underground line U6 just 1 stop to Burggasse/Stadthalle. From there, walk in the Zentrum direction for approximately 5 minutes until Halbgasse. Now follow the yellow signs to the hotel.

en | N/A | N/A | When the Nokia introduced the new handsets for its second generation phones with Windows Phone OS, it’s well known that the Nokia Lumia 820 would be the end of upper-middle range with which deployed the platform Windows Phone 8. However, in recent weeks have met some variations based on this model, like the Nokia Lumia 810 and Nokia Lumia 822 and that’s not even talk about the rumored Nokia Lumia 830, which would become the midrange more cost cutting. In this regard, several questions arise about what makes them different from these three devices.
First, the new Lumia 800 series family has in its pattern of header Lumia 820. This will be distributed worldwide to the general rule. The Nokia Lumia 810 and Nokia Lumia 822 are specific versions to regions and operators, in this case, focusing on U.S. and from the hand of T-Mobile and Verizon, respectively. Furthermore, all three have different designs. The Nokia Lumia 820 is formatted with the edges rounded capped, while the Nokia Lumia 810 is more rectilinear and Nokia Lumia 822 follows a similar aesthetic to wake the Nokia Lumia 620.
Read also: Everything about Nokia Lumia 820 in depth analysis
In purely technical, the Nokia Lumia 810 is the only of the three that does not support the fourth generation mobile networks LTE, another option that is available on the Nokia Lumia 820 and Nokia Lumia 822. The batteries of the three also make a difference, at least in the Nokia Lumia 820, whose unit is ready to administer compared to 1650 milliamps of Nokia Lumia 822 and Nokia Lumia 810, which are 1800 milliamps. The secondary camera on the front of each device also will notice a difference. And the Nokia Lumia 820 has a unit capable of capturing quality photos VGA, substantially improved compared to the sensor Nokia Lumia 822 and Nokia Lumia 810, which carried 1.2 megapixels in still image capture.
Also, the internal memory is another marking distances between the three devices. In this sense, the Nokia Lumia 820 and Nokia Lumia 822 carry an integrated cargo 16GB, while users of the Nokia Lumia 810 must comply with eight GB standard. In all cases, we start with the similarities and identifying the three devices, the memory can be expanded up to 64 GB, as long as we resort to microSD cards.
Furthermore, the trio screens are 4.3 inches and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. We also observed the same main camera eight megapixel capable of capturing video with HD quality and accompanied by a dual LED flash. Processor nourishes itself three phones: the S4 Snadragon 1.5GHz Qualcomm the Californian firm and in all cases with a GB of RAM integrated. Of course, Lumia 820, Lumia 822 and Lumia 810 battery by induction.

Carving in the Museum
There's a lot less traffic out there today - you can tell it's a Friday! Skipped breakfast at the hotel; and had the croissant I got from my street vendor for about 1/18th of the cost. Walked down to the Hejaz railway station. I'd walked passed it the other day but was concentrating on not getting run over I failed to notice it. Inside is now a bookstore, but you can still buy train tickets there, for trains that leave from the Kadam station 5km to the south. No honestly!
Then it was a walk down to the National Museum. The Lonely Planet said it would cost me 300 to get in, but I was charged 150. It's got a lot of stuff, but the highlight has to be tomb they have transported from Palmyra. I was taking my time, and having a good look at all the exhibits but then one of the photo police came up and told me that the place was closing soon. Hmm, the LP said it shut at 4pm, and it's only 11:30, anyway I did the rest of the rooms and headed out. Had some issues getting back out onto the street as the gate was so stiff, but managed it (in the end).
Crossing the Road in Syria
Walked up to the old city and had a stop for some flat bread pizza. They don't like giving change (even tho' they have it), so I ended up getting two bits of bread - a good sales technique I guess. I'd never cross the road at home the way I do here, but then the traffic is generally running that bit slower here, and the drivers half expect you to step out.
Walked the entire length of Straight Street - most of the shops are shut, so it's quicker and quieter than yesterday. Interestingly the Christian quarter has a much different feel to it, the houses seem to be closer together and people live here, its not all just business premises.
Up to the house of Anayas (25SYP) to see where St. Paul was cured of his blindness, there's a very interesting little underground church here. Feeling rather tried now, but kept on walking, and managed to obtain some flat bread and soft cheese for 50SYP, so that's a cheap snack! After walking through some really old bits of Damascus I came out right next to the Citadel. Back to the hotel, via another street bakery and the Internet Cafe.
I've picked up a sore throat from the plane trip - it feels like I've got sandpaper down my throat. Also everyone in Syria smokes, all the time, everywhere. The average life expectancy can't be great. As the sun was setting I popped up to the roof of the hotel to get some photos of the hills that surround the city. |

en | N/A | N/A | As teenagers (when our whole world revolves around……ourselves!
A couple of years ago, my family arrived at a beach house to spend some time with some friends. One of the teen girls came up to the house from the beach and spent about an hour with us and then when everyone decided to go to the beach she wanted us to wait for her because she was going to change her bathing suit. When I asked her why, she said she didn't want the people at the beach to think she only had one bathing suit. Thinking this was ridiculous, I asked her, "Do you really think that even if someone remembered you from the beach this morning and saw you in the same bathing suit, they'd think it was your only bathing suit?And even if they did, so what, do you really care that much about what people think about you?" She shrugged and feebly answered, "Well…" I countered, "Is that what you would think about a person who came back to the beach with the same bathing suit on?" "Yeah!" she said without hesitation. "Aha!" I said, "So what you're really saying is that's what you would think, and not necessarily what anyone else is thinking, right?" "Well, I guess so" she admitted. "So," I pointed out, "wouldn't that [type of judgmental thought] be on you (your issue)?" Her rebuttal was to go to the other room to change her bathing suit!
The basic root I want to bring to light is once again, a self-worth issue. If we look at the issue as a plant, we can see the root as being self-loathing manifesting as critical, acerbic thoughts and words about ourselves. To make ourselves feel better, we might use those same thoughts and words to put others down (the stem). Carried another step further, because we are thinking those thoughts about others, now we can just imagine what they're thinking/saying about us (the leaf). The eventual "fruit" is doing all kinds of crazy things to "appease" others to keep them from thinking those imagined thoughts, to make ourselves feel better, to make us feel worthy – and THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL – because it NEVER makes us feel worthy and so the cycle repeats!
You can do this, and the truth is you probably already do. Yeah, I'm blooming, you're blooming, let's get this garden planted! |

BRITTANY JONES-COOPER: I love that. That's progress. But I also think you're forcing a lot of us to look at what we think is funny and to imagine who that's impacting. So I think it works both ways there. Chelsea, someone who is unapologetically herself is Meg Thee Stallion, who you guys interviewed and painted with. So what did you learn from Meg? And what are you unapologetic about? |

en | N/A | N/A | On Sept. 17, Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, introduced SB 318 (aka, "Regulation of Oil and Gas Resources"). The bill summary is completely blunt about what it's proposing: "Preempting the regulation of a." Not only that, if a municipality has already decided that it does not wish to allow fracking within its jurisdiction, this bill would declare "existing ordinances and regulations relating thereto void." The bill would provide an exception for certain zoning ordinances (it doesn't say which zoning ordinances, but we like to think that it would at least respect your right to not have fracking companies set up shop in your residentially zoned backyard) but only if those ordinances were in place before Jan. 1, 2015. Interestingly, the bill doesn't contain the word fracking anywhere in its text – nor does it contain the words "hydraulic fracturing." Instead, it refers to fracking as the very innocuous-sounding practice of "high-pressure well stimulation."
Sen. Darren Soto, D-Orlando, is one of the legislators leading the charge against fracking – he's put forward a bill for the 2016 session that would ban fracking in the state completely: "We have a very unique geology here," he says, pointing out that the fragile limestone bed beneath our soil would not be able to withstand the practice of shooting chemicals into it at high pressure. "Our geology does not allow for fracking to be done safely."
"Consumers are getting screwed again," Dudley said in a phone call with Florida Politics late Monday afternoon. "A five-member panel of unelected people decide they're going to allow this huge corporation get $500 million a year from ratepayers to subsidize and pay for fracking – drilling" he said with obvious disdain, adding, "It's a staggering ripoff."
Our savings BTW will be 2 bucks a year. We can buy what two cucumbers with that. I can't even buy the ingredients for my smoothie with that (cucumber, cantaloupe, almond milk, local honey and ice cubes). FPL wants 500 million dollars from you and can't even buy you a smoothie.
Richter's bill (SB 1468) defines the process as a "well intervention performed by injecting more than 100,000 gallons of fluids into a rock formation at high pressure" to create fractures to increase production at an oil or gas well.
oursantaferiver.org/wp/martin-county-wants-no-fracking/
With creditors of fracking companies taking huge losses on their investments, and with more losses coming, it isn't surprising that frackers have been basically locked out of the bond market, and regulators are worried that banks are overexposed.
On one side are the bankers who have been grappling with the plunge in oil prices and the need to shore up billions of dollars in credit extended to the energy industry. On the other are regulators eager to prevent another financial crisis while not knowing what it might be. Caught in the middle are the smthat re"

Allen asked her to write a story about the Miami River, but Douglas did not find it very interesting, calling it only "an inch long". She began learning more about the Miami River though, and in her research, she instead suggested to her editor to write a story about the Everglades. Douglas spent five years researching the Everglades, consulting with Garald Parker of the US Geological Survey, who was studying the Everglades hydrology systems, and eventually wrote nearly 40 papers on the ecosystems in the Everglades.

en | N/A | N/A | In the present paper, radial and hoop thermal and mechanical stress analysis of a rotating disk made of functionally graded material (FGM) with variable thickness is carried out by using finite element method (FEM). To model the disk by FEM, one-dimensional two-degree elements with three nodes are used. It is assumed that the material properties, such as elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and thermal expansion coefficient, are considered to vary using a power law function in the radial direction. The geometrical and boundary conditions are in the shape of two models including thermal stress (model-A) and mechanical stress (model-B). In model-A there exists no pressure in both external and internal layers, and there is a temperature distribution considered as a second order function in the radial direction of the rotating disk. In this case, the temperature dependency of the material properties is considered and a hyperbolic type is assumed for the geometry of the disk. In model-B, there is a constant pressure only on the internal layer and a pressure on the internal layer of the disk without temperature distribution but with different types of surface profiles. Furthermore, the displacements and stresses for various power law indices (N) and angular velocities are calculated and compared to other results in the literature. The effect of varying thicknesses and dependency of material properties on temperature distribution is investigated.

Can the CBD Industry Police Itself? One Company Says it's Essential.
CBDistillery recently bought advertising in New York's Time Square.
Thomas Mitchell | August 2, 2019 | 6:05am
The hoopla surrounding CBD has become so loud that even CBD companies are starting to get annoyed. One Colorado CBD brand recently went so far as to buy ads in New York's Time Square to attack gimmicky products and marketing campaigns that push CBD into everything from candles to firewood.
CBDistillery, a company known for hemp-derived CBD edibles, oils, capsules, vaporizers and more, wants people to be more discerning about how they consume CBD. But where is that line drawn, and who should be leading the conversation? We chatted with CBDistillery chief marketing officer Chris Van Dusen to see what he thinks.
Westword: How are CBD and its benefits being oversold to the public right now?
Left Hand Brewing Launches CBD Seltzer Water
How Far Should We Let CBD Go?
The ABCs of CBD in Colorado
Chris Van Dusen: The products and claims companies are currently making are getting out of hand. While we fully support and acknowledge the benefits of CBD, until further studies are conducted and the FDA passes formal regulation, companies should not be making any medical claims on behalf of CBD products. As leaders in the industry, our mission is to provide the highest-quality hemp-derived CBD products at fair prices. Luckily, there are other excellent companies in the industry who are also providing high-quality products that are actually effective.
However, there are still poor trends throughout the industry and companies selling ridiculous CBD products, which nullify the importance of CBD. These companies are adding the three little letters ‘CBD’ to products like toothpicks and candles, making outrageous claims, being deceitful about the CBD potency and lacking transparency about where the CBD in these products is coming from. Thus, we launched this campaign in order to put the industry on notice and make a call to action to consumers to pay attention. Together we need to stop this amazing compound from being diminished to a trending buzzword.
Is there a line that should be drawn for how we consume CBD?
Yes, absolutely. As a company that is consistently engaged in R&D with the goal of providing consumers access to innovative and effective delivery methods, we know what works and what doesn’t. When we see products that play on different ways to consume CBD that provide little to no bioavailability, we can only encourage consumers to educate themselves to avoid wasting their money. We highly recommend downloading a free copy of the Ultimate CBD User Guide on our website, which specifically details the various delivery methods of recommended CBD products.
CBDistillery chief marketing officer Chris Van Dusen
What about how we talk about CBD?
The discussion around CBD needs to evolve as more studies and research become available. Currently, companies should stick to what we actually know, which is how CBD is the most abundant of the 113-plus potentially beneficial cannabinoids found in the plant cannabis sativa L. Unlike THC, found in the marijuana plant, CBD does not produce any psychoactive or "high" effects, and it supplements the endocannabinoid system, which plays a vital role in optimal human performance. By talking about these facts and directing the focus on consumer education for what to look for when purchasing CBD products, we can hopefully stop the spread of false information that will skew the public’s perception.
Where does the federal government's oversight (or lack thereof) play a role in the company's inspiration for this campaign?
With over 3,000 companies currently occupying the space, CBDistillery's Gimmick-Free campaign was born out of a necessity to highlight the misuse of CBD that has spread throughout the industry. As industry leaders, we are taking on the responsibility to set the standards, democratize CBD and provide a call to action for consumers to pay attention and look beyond the marketing ploys before making purchasing decisions.
How can consumers figure out if the CBD products they're buying are tested and verified by proper labs and regulators?
Reputable companies publish their third-party test results on their websites and packaging. Products and ingredients are third-party tested for potency, residual solvents, heavy metals and to ensure that delta-9 THC levels do not exceed 0.3 percent. Even though there is no current FDA regulation, consumers should check to see if the company is certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority, which sets the most stringent guidelines in the industry to ensure a safe product. Consumers should also be able to scan a QR code on their product in order to view test results for their exact batch.
Checking all of these boxes will ensure their product is a high-quality one that is as pure and potent as the manufacturer claims. At CBDistillery, we proudly display all of this information on our labeling, packaging and website, and highlight it in our educational materials, making it easily digestible and simple for our customers to make an informed decision.
We've seen CBD-infused hot dogs and firewood. What are some of the most ridiculous CBD products you've seen marketed?
Where do we begin?! From a bioavailability standpoint, there are plenty of ridiculous products that consumers are being targeted with. Products like CBD mascara, toothpicks, air diffusers and candles are great examples, as they really embody the call for this campaign. Slapping those three little letters before any old product really nullifies the actual importance of CBD, and makes education in our industry that much more challenging. As a company founded on transparency, we will always stick to products that are proven to be effective, without any gimmicks. |

en | N/A | N/A | Iran Nuclear NewsAP Interview: IAEA head seeks openness from Iran
his organization cannot be sure that Iran is not secretly working on nuclear arms, in comments reflecting disappointment with the collapse of talks between Tehran and six world powers.
VIENNAams – … "
Expectations had been low for the Istanbul meeting. So the six powers – the U.S., China, Russia, Britain France and Germany – had avoided too much emphasis on their main demand: an end to uranium enrichment, as called for by the U.N. Security Council.
Iran's enrichment program is of international interest because the process can create both nuclear fuel and fissile nuclear warhead material. While Iran insists it wants to enrich uranium only to run a nuclear reactor network, its nuclear secrecy, refusal to accept fuel from abroad and resistance to IAEA efforts to follow up on suspicions of covert experiments with components of a nuclear weapons program have heightened concerns.
Because of Iran's rejection of talks on enrichment, Iran's interlocutors instead had come to the table with more modest hopes, including seeking concessions from Tehran as to what it was ready to show IAEA inspectors.h – once completed –
Such lack of transparency means that "we cannot provide an assurance of the absence of undeclared activities and facilities," said Amano.
Ira– something Amano denied.
"We have the mandate to have clarification on these issues," Amano said, citing U.N. Security Council resolutions urging Iran to cooperate with the agency on clearing up the allegations.

en | N/A | N/A | A "corrected" Trio
July 1, 2010trio started out just about as wrong as it could have been. Thanks to fellow member,Heiko, I was able to remove the "offending" medals and ribbon devices and end up with what I think is a nice little group.
I won't go into a lot of detail about the way this group looked but if you are interested here is the link.
http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44369
I actually like it better now and I ended up with a Silesian Eagle 2nd Class (presently awaiting the proper ribbon to arrive) and a Legion of Merit medal, neither of which I had in the collection before. The only draw back was that I was required by the collector's code to add a Silesian Eagle 1st Class to the collection as well.
It's not that I wanted to add a 1st Class, but the code is the code.
In case you don't bother to read the other post, I used nylon thread to attach the proper medals. In that way future collectors SHOULD figure out that the medals were added long after the original group was awarded.
Edited July 1, 2010 by Brian Wolfe
Here is the reverse. I think you can see the nylon thread in the photo. I could have used the same black thread that was used on the "original" group but I didn't feel comfortable doing that. We have to remember that we are only the custodians of our collection and some day it will be in the hands of other collectors. Therefore any changes or repairs should either be documented, reversable to its original state or made obvious, as in this case.
Good job on the restoration of this bar to its proper state.
Thanks for the comment VtwinVince. |

en | N/A | N/A | Hello I’m alive and well. I haven’t updated in quite a while, and though my blog has been a bit quiet, life has been quite exciting this summer! I meant to write about our training camp weekend for Western States, but never got around to it and then the actual race happened, so this post is only 2 months behind.
Western States is like the Boston marathon of ultra running. It’s the grand daddy of all ultras, mainly because it is how 100 mile races got started in the first place! We go through a similar qualification/lottery system as the Boston marathon, though the qualifying times aren’t nearly as hard (sub 11 hr 50 mile run would qualify you), but the lottery is much harder to get into. Just because you have a qualifying time doesn’t mean you automatically get in. Last December, thousands of hopeful runners (me included) crossed our fingers and toes hoping to get a lucky spot in the race. Unfortunately, I didn’t get in, as my odds were pretty low to begin with since it was my first year applying, but one of my friends did! I paced Helen at San Diego 100 for her first 100 last summer and was thrilled to be a part of this epic race. One of the unique features about this race is their Memorial weekend training camp where anyone can sign up for any or all of the three days and run the last 70 miles of the race course. For being a training run, they did a great job with all the shuttling of runners from point A to point B everyday, well stocked aid stations along the training route and even post run food for everyone that signed up. It was like a low key race without the timing chip, shirt or medal, who needs those things anyways?
Day 1 Robinson Flats to Forresthill 32 miles
We drove to Sacramento Friday afternoon, sat in Memorial day traffic for hours and hours, finally got to our motel around 11PM, our car decided to go on vacation as well, thus giving us around 3 hours of sleep the night before running 32 miles. Happy training camp, indeed! However, we all woke up at the crack of dawn Saturday morning, eager to tackle the miles of beautiful trails ahead. What better way to spend a Memorial day weekend running on some of the most scenic and historical trails with a bunch of other crazy nuts?
Going to Sacramento for the weekend, it looked like it would be a pretty hot weekend, so in went the shorts, tank tops and summer dresses. Even a bathing suit since we had a pool in our hotel. You can imagine my surprise when we arrived to this…
No one said anything about snow! I layered up with all the clothing I brought and used my Buff as a headband to keep my ears warm, not exactly the most color coordinated outfit, but it did the trick and by the end of the run, we were all peeling off our layers. I felt pretty good this first day, maybe due to a slow start in the beginning as we trudged up the hill in snow.
It was fun running with so many friends from L.A. and those that lived up north who also came out. There was no pressure to go fast or anything, so we all took our time, snapped pics, tweeted/facebooked/instagrammed (okay maybe just me) and played on the trails since we had pretty much the whole day to explore.
There were course markings to follow, but for the most part, since there were so many runners out, it was hard to get lost (well except that one time…). The Western States trail is also really well marked and maintained making it easy to navigate. The aid stations were the best I have ever seen! FullI don’t know if it was the mileage or the fact that it was really cold, but I couldn’t get enough of all the great food they had out on the course! I am usually one to stick to gels for 30 miles or less, but I was leaving each aid with a handful of chips, animal crackers, PB&J sandwich quarters and cheez-its. It’s a miracle I made it to the end of each day without a stomach ache, or out of each aid station for that matter. Trail running is probably the only time I eat this kind of food, but it sure tastes good when you’ve been out on the trail for a long time. Heck, anything tastes good on the trail.
I mainly stuck with these two goofballs for most of the first day. We were all going at a similar pace (or they felt bad for leaving me behind) and enjoying each other’s company and time flew by. Before we knew it, we were ending our first day at training camp.
There were two notable climbs during the first day, Devil’s Thumb and Michigan Bluff where I dragged ass up the hill while getting passed. I did however make a few friends during these climbs which helped to pass the time. I thought Devil’s Thumb was a lot harder even though it was a shorter climb but with a more intense elevation gain, whereas Michigan Bluff was a longer gradual climb. Apparently there was a cool rock that looked like a ‘Devil’s Thumb’ at the top of the climb, but it was too foggy to see or I just didn’t care enough to look for it.
Such an amazing trail with wonderful views. I was actually really surprised by how green everything was, it reminded me of running in Oregon.
We ended Day 1 with a dinner with a bunch of other runners at Auburn Alehouse and promptly passed out. I couldn’t wait for Day 2 to begin.
Day 2 Forresthill to Rucky Chucky River Crossing 19 miles
Given the mileage from the day before, we were all feeling it the next day so it was nice to see everyone in the same boat and running with sore legs down the trail. However, this day also promised to be the most runnable (and fast) section of the entire course. I had to pay attention to all the trail markings since this would be the section I would end up pacing during the race at night. Luckily, the Western States Trail is well marked and there were barely any places you could really veer off course. I’m sure this is also the reason why Helen decided to have me pace this section given my track record of getting lost. She wasn’t taking any chances! On this day, my running partner in crime was Derrick who lives in Sacramento. It was nice to play catch up the entire time until he dropped me during the last 3 mile climb out to our cars, but I forgive him, mainly because of this. We started at Forresthill where we had left off the day before with a gentle rolling downhill to the first aid. This would be around Mile 60 in the actual race and the first place where a pacer could jump in. Quads were screaming a bit, but I love downhills so really didn’t mind it so much. Meg joined for part of the way before turning back, she had a marathon the week after, but still came up to spend a fun weekend on the trails with us. We ran on rolling single track, caught glimpses of the American River below while making our way down the mountain. There were a couple steep climbs, but nothing too bad unlike the day before. For the most part, it was the most enjoyable and fastest section of the race with more stunning views and single track trails.
Once we hit the Rucky Chucky river crossing, around Mile 16 for the day, Mile 80 during the actual race, we had the option of going down to the river to cool off before climbing 3 miles out to our cars to end day 2. During the actual race, there would be a rope set up for runners to hold onto so they could cross the river an. If water levels were high, they would have a raft set up. Yes, an actual raft! After hitting the last aid station, we decided to make our way down to the river to cool off since it was a lot warmer than the previous day. Once we got down to the river, we saw lots of runners bath
However, the water was not exactly warm! It was actually freezing cold and I could barely stand in the water for more than a minute before having to jump out. I couldn’t believe some people were practically swimming in there. An ice bath indeed.
We ended up spending quite some time down there before we finally pulled ourselves together for the final 3 mile climb out to our cars. It was a fairly gradual climb, but hard to get moving again after resting for so long. With the sun beating down on us, my clothes dried almost instantly. Derrick decided he had enough of my company for the day and ran ahead while constantly shouting back that we were almost there. I was so happy to see the pavement with a human finish line.
Since I had to work the next day, I opted out of the third and final day which ended at the finish. It was an amazing weekend playing on the trails with so many old and new friends. I’m glad I got to be a part of it and I can’t wait to go back next year.
Wow. That sounds like an amazing experience! Really enjoyed the post and your pics.
Nice summary! Maybe my favorite event this year so far. I want to do this again next year…
Good to see you’re still alive! Hah I so did not drop you! I was just clearing the cobwebs for you. Such a fun weekend and a blast running with you. Much less stressful than AR 😉 |

I survived THE VISION QUEST in Portugal!
For four days, no social contact, no food, no books, no phone, no external distraction at all. It was me versus nature.
Secretly I had BIG expectations of getting some kind of ‘awakening’ or an ‘enlightening experience’ during the quest. So there I sat under my version of a Portuguese ‘bodhi tree’, waiting for something to happen. Waiting for suffering to come (hunger, fear, burning heat of the sun, fatigue, boredom, or whatever) and I will tell you none of this happened… I felt it, but didn’t become it.
the Portuguese ‘bodhi tree’
I, or someone in my head, began questioning myself. Thoughts like: ‘Why are you not hungry, why are you not afraid, why are you not suffering? You should be, because then, you will have some big insights. And why are you even feeling peaceful?’.
All of these peace disturbing and self sabotaging thoughts just came in and suddenly it hit me… A question arose: ‘Why are you questioning yourself that you are not suffering? Should I even be suffering’, ‘who is this anyway in my head that’s talking?’…. This so called ‘I need to suffer to get something’ is such a conviction, such a strange programming in my head…
So nothing really did ‘happen’ and yet so many things did. Just being there, one with the surroundings, one with nature…I felt a part of the everyday cycle, the sun rising and going down again, and not much later the bright light of the moon would rise upon a field full of flickering stars.
I chose a more “dry” spot with big ants crawling everywhere, with bees, spiders, crickets and an amazing red centipede totally mesmerised me, but they are all just minding their own business, just being there and yet by minding there “own business” everything felt just so harmonious.
Physically my body felt really good, not hungry at all and on the last day I wasn’t even thirsty. I experienced a very clear and sharp mind and the dreams I had, have never been so vivid! It was like there was no distinction between the dream state and the waking state. Pretty amazing!
I felt in complete harmony with all surroundings. I can truly say that nature is my medicine by just being fully immersed in it… It was an experience for me that revealed the possibility to feel one, to feel whole at all times. I don’t need to suffer to get somewhere, I don’t need to search for something… |
en | N/A | N/A | The Importance of Hearing Tests in Phoenix
Know What Hearing Tests Are Before You Take Them
If you live in the metro area of Phoenix, hearing testing might come up when speaking to your doctor, and he/she may ask you to get your ears tested. This does not in any way mean that something is wrong. It is just that the doctor needs you to have a hearing test to make sure that your ears are working as they should.
It is recommended by experts in the audiology field to get your hearing tested once every ten years till you cross the age of 50, and once every three years after you have crossed this ageget a hearing test immediately.
When you get hit on the head
An ear infection
Older people who have hearing loss, and do not do anything about it, will feel they are being left out of social events which they have always enjoyed, just because they are unable to hear what is happening. This inability to hear well can be embarrassing and can lead to their avoiding both friends and family. This isolation can lead to depression unless they get themselves some help with their hearing.
The entire process of testing can take about half an hour, and there is no pain. Adults who undergo these tests will be asked to wear headphones while they listen to tones played at different pitches and volumes in both the ears, but one at a time. Your ability to listen to each short burst of sound will show whether you can hear low or high pitched sounds, loud or quiet sounds, and if any of the ears has hearing loss.
Hearing Test results show hearing ability for certain mouth sounds, as well as frequency range
A test for hearing does not mean that you have passed or failed. The results will indicate your loss of hearing in each ear and the degree to which it is affected.
Some hearing aids are devices that amplify the sound you want to hear. They will be able to make phone calls louder. Others can help you hear better when you are in a theatre or a place of worship. Some specialize in loud, crowded environments like restaurants, and others combine hearing amplification with tinnitus(480) 831-6159 or visit our website at https://www.tinnitusaz.com/contact. |

‘Public health emergency’: King County on track to set new record for deadly drug and alcohol overdoses in 2021
King County, meanwhile, is on track to see the largest single-year increase in deaths linked to drug and alcohol overdoses in more than a decade, according to the county’s medical examiner.
In Washington, more residentsFatal drug overdoses increased by more than 30% over 2019 —
“This demonstrates proof of concept of a system that could make overdose events that are unwitnessed almost functionally witnessed,” he added. “Lots of people get into trouble when they’re using alone and can’t identify when their breathing has stopped.”
Sunshine noted the devices aren’t designed to contradict current harm-reduction recommendations, which urge people not to use alone, but rather give people “one more layer of safety.”
The device released guidance on emergency-use injectors to address the epidemic.
Sunshine said Friday the FDA guidance could mean a quicker approval time for his team’s injector devices.
Similar “closed-loop” systems — a set of devices that automatically regulates a process without human interaction — aren’t widely used in medicine because they can be potentially dangerous with other types of medication or drugs, Sunshine said.
“This epidemic, on top of the pandemic, is just heartbreaking,” Sunshine said. “This is just one compelling technological development that we’re hopeful could make a difference in the future.” |

en | N/A | N/A | Pricing up the cost of a new roof in Ohio is no different with many variables, so it is always better to try and pin down the roof costs in your own state. We’ve calculated that the average cost of a new roof in Ohio is between $8000 and $15,000 dollars but it very much depends on the size of your roof, the materials used and the labour involved. Find out how we’ve calculated the cost of a roof in Ohio below.
If you're looking for an accurate roof cost in Ohio - the best thing to do is speak to local roofers to compare quotes. Fill out the details of your roof below and compare quotes from local Ohio roofers- for free! Time to complete: 30 seconds.
As roofing materials are more than half the cost of any new roof, this is a good place to start. Here is some statewide data from across Ohio.
Labor will cost from $150-$300 per hour. Larger roofing companies tend to charge higher prices. Labor charges will be lower if you opt for a roof overlay and there is no labor for tear off but some roof codes don’t permit overlays and many roofers don’t like them.
When you think about a quote for the cost of a new roof in Ohio, its easy to focus on just the labor and roofing materials but there could be other costs.
Approach your mortgage company because they may offer you some more lending if you have enough equity in the house. Repayments are spread over the remaining mortgage term so can be affordable.
Some roofers will offer finance with a link to a third-party broker or finance institution although it just tends to be the bigger firms that do this, or you can look around for a bank loan.
You might find a grant in Ohio to help you with the cost of renewing your roof although some grants are only available for roof repairs. Grants are provided from either federal government or locally within Ohio – your roofer should have the latest information as a roof grant can be a good incentive to a customer to sign up.
Most roof grants are capped at a fixed figure and may depend on specific criteria like household income and/or age; many grants are aimed at low income families or older people who will otherwise struggle to afford a new roof and their property is at risk Another key driver for a roof grant is sustainability – think about a green roof as this may attract funding as
Roof grants can have conditions attached such as the requirement to repay the money if you move house within a specified period – always read the fine print very carefully.
The golden rule is not to work right up to your budget as if something unforeseen happens then you will not have the extra funds needed to meet the cost.
Keep a margin of 10%-15% for nasty surprises. The most common issue is an undetected problem, often a hidden leak (find out how to fix a leaky roof), which is not revealed until all the old roofing material is removed. Your roofer should inspect the roof internally and externally before issuing a quote, but some problems are just not visible until the old roof is torn down.
If you are removing a roof overlay, then this is much more likely as defects can be well and truly hidden and it will have been almost impossible to manage repairs on the lowest roof covering on the deck as there is no access. Hidden leaks will cause rot to roof timbers which will need to be repaired or replaced before new roofing material can be installed. Always ask your roofer to quote for the extra work once the defect is discovered rather than waiting until the work is finished.
If you have a property where there has been a roof overlay then it is going to cost more for the tear down and dump fees. Some properties may have two or even three roofs.
Roof overlays were popular as it is cheaper to install a new roof and quicker. However, many state roof codes don’t permit these now as they have other problems and not so energy efficient. They are also unpopular with new purchasers as the lower roofs are impossible to maintain and repair.
How do you know if your roof needs replacing?
If your roof is no longer watertight and weatherproof then it could be time to consider renewal or your repair bills might just be getting to be a real burden – this could be money better spent on the cost of a new roof.
How do I look after a new roof?
The roof should be checked after around three months to make sure there are no teething problems otherwise, an annual inspection is a good plan perhaps when the gutters are cleared. This can help spot problems which are not visible from street level and rectify them quickly before they become more serious. Some roofers offer cleaning services and also there are sealing options to help prolong the life of the roof shingles.
A new roof will lower energy bills as the latest materials – roof shingles and underlayment – are all designed to lower carbon emissions to help the environment – this will help your pocket too.
Your roofer should offer a written warranty for the work he has done, make sure you ask about this before you accept a quote. The roofing materials so the shingles and the underlayment will also attract guarantees from the manufacturer although these guarantees are usually conditional on correct installation.
Do your homework, shop around for roofing contractors and delve deeply into the different quotes – the cheapest may not be the best working to a budget, then discuss this with your chosen roofer – he may be able to suggest ways to shave the cost in certain areas. Choosing a cheaper roofing material will always help the cost but can sometimes end up being a false economy if you live in an area with challenging weather. |
en | N/A | N/A | I can't blame him, because I did the same thing at his age, and frankly, I still do. At seven years of age, I think that I wanted a G.I. Joe with Kung-fu grip, and a bike with a banana seat and Stingray handlebars. When I grew older, the requests just changed slightly. I wanted the girl to like me or the employer to hire me. And like my son, I still find myself saying, "Daddy, did you see what I circled? Daddy, do you know what I want?" We have something of an uneasy relationship between wanting and waiting in our lives.
When you are looking at how to find God's purpose in your life, I find that one of the key questions to ask is the following: "Where have I been asked to be faithful, even though I feel like I am not really needed?" You see, faithfulness reveals true character. Faithfulness says this: "I may not be getting want I want right now in my life from my relationships—whether a relationship with an employer, with my spouse, or even with God—but I am still going to be faithful." Faithfulness ends up being a legitimate litmus test that reveals what you're really made of inside.
Let me give you a picture of faithfulness. When Brenda and I were in Italy, we stayed for several days in someone's home on the western coast, an area that is known as the Cinqueterre. It is a remote area, because until recently, you couldn't get there by car, and now it has become very popular. But it is still remote. There was a tiny chapel a few hills away, and it wasn't even a wide spot in the road. The single lane road literally weaved right around the side of the chapel, and you had to slow down and honk your horn as you came around. There was a small bell in the steeple of that chapel with a rope attached, and every hour it would ring, even sometimes in the middle of the night. I found myself asking, "Who has the job of ringing that bell? How does he possibly get through life?" The only way you maintain that kind of faithfulness is because of a core belief deep inside.
2) Waiting is based on a conviction.
Why do we make the choices that we do in life? I believe that behavior follows belief, in this case, deep beliefs. When I say deep beliefs, I don't mean beliefs that are deeply held by you, but beliefs that are deeply hidden from you. The choices I make in life reveal what I really believe in the deepest place. For example, when I complain, it is because I have a deep belief about how the world should operate for me. If I have to stand in a long line at the grocery store, I'll get irritable because I believe deep down that I deserve a hassle-free existence. Everything should work together to serve me. That is my deep belief, and behavior follows belief.
Here is where the story gets really good—where it gets real. When the angel delivers the message, Zacharias asks for a sign or some kind of assurance. Why? Because he's had his hopes up before. How many miscarriages have they suffered through? How many well-meaning friends have reassured him that he just needed to believe more? He doesn't want to be let down again. The angel doesn't see it that way, and so his voice is literally taken away until after the child is born.
Have you ever wondered why belief is so important to God? Why should it matter to the God of the universe whether we little specks of dust believe? Because of the nature of belief. Belief is a judgment that you proclaim about someone. When you trust someone, you are making a personal statement about their character, or their power to perform whatever it is they say they will do. Zacharias had perhaps been questioning something inside. "Is God good? Is God actually gracious? Does He really care?" There were probably weeks and months and years when the pain of that doubt in his heart was unreal. There were times when he had to push it down so hard as he went about his day, because it hurt so much. By the time this story came around, it was probably just a bitterness in his mouth and heart. |

If you want to save time and money on a taxi, book a transfer in Chile. This is the most convenient way to travel in an unfamiliar country, especially if you do not know Spanish. Our service allows you to book a car in your native tongue, so you will not have to explain the address of your hotel to the taxi driver.
Chile is a small country stretching for 6,000 kilometres along the southwestern Pacific coast of South America. The southernmost country in the world is adjacent to Argentina, Peru and Bolivia, from which it is fenced by the mountain ranges of the Andes. From June to October in Chile, tourists visit ski resorts, at the same time they can relax in one of the many resorts on the coast. Take advantage of passenger transportation services in Chile if you are travelling with ski equipment or
Santiago is the capital and the largest city on the mainland, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

en | N/A | N/A | After years of skepticism about rack scale design (RSD), StorageMojo is coming around to the idea that could will work. It’s still a lab project, but researchers are making serious progress on the architectural issues.
For example, in a recent paper, XF Microsoft Researchers Sergey Legtchenko, Nicholas Chen, Hugh Williams, Daniel Cletheroe, Antony Rowstron, and Xiaohan Zhao, discuss
My concerns around RSD have always centered on the network. It’s obvious that Moore’s Law is making more powerful and efficient Systems on a Chip (SoCs) more attractive. And flash has eliminated many issues around storage, particularly power, cooling, weight, and density – while cost is steadily improving.
Now if we could only figure out how to network them at reasonable cost and performance. Traditional Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches are costly and don’t scale well.
Higher server density requires a redesign of the in-rack network. A fully provisioned 40 Gbps network with 300 SoCs would require a ToR switch with 12 Tbps of bisection bandwidth within a rack enclosure which imposes power, cooling and physical space constraints.
Fully distributed networks are much cheaper, but inflexible. That’s why HPE’s Moonshot uses three network topologies, one for ingress/egress traffic, multi-hop for storage and a 2D torus fabric for in-rack traffic.
The XFabric answer
. . . XFabric uses partial reconfigurability. It partitions the physical layer into a set of smaller independent circuit switches such that each SoC has a port attached to each partition. Packets can be routed between the partitions by the packet switches embedded in the SoCs. The partitioning significantly reduces the circuit switch port requirements enabling a single cross point switch ASIC to be used per partition. This makes XFabric deployable in a rack at reasonable cost.
Of course, you then have to deal with the fact that the fabric is not fully configurable. Which is the XFabric secret sauce.
The results show that under realistic workload assumptions, the performance of XFabric is up to six times better than a static 3D-Torus topology at rack scale. We also show it provides comparable performance to a fully reconfigurable network while consuming five times less power.
A key implication of RSD is that it will favor warehouse scale systems. That’s good news for cloud vendors.
But if RSD is as configurable as the current products and research suggests, it will also find a home in the enterprise. The tension that exists today between object storage in the cloud and object storage in the enterprise will govern enterprise adoption.

en | N/A | N/A | QANTAS PARTNERS MARTIN GRANT TO LAUNCH LEISURE WEAR COLLECTION
Fashion, SHOPPING by samanthaannfrancis October 16, 2020 October 16, 2020
From scenic "flights to nowhere" to the sale of fully-stocked bar carts, Qantas continues to push its creative boundaries when it comes to making up for the loss of income during the ongoing pandemic. Most recently, the Australian flag carrier announced a limited-edition athleisure collaboration with prominent Australian fashion designer Martin Grant.
Featuring the airline's vintage logos dating back to the fifties and the iconic flying kangaroo from 1968, the collection includes a hoodie, t-shirts, sweatshirts, cashmere sweaters, and a beach tote. Designed in the airline's signature red and navy palette, along with vivid yellow accents to represent the golden wattle—the country's floral emblem, the styles are equally suited for travels and lounging at home.
As a longtime partner of the airline, the Paris-based designer had previously created uniforms for Qantas' crew, as well as first-class pyjamas and amenity kits.

Commenting on the collection, Grant said: ",."

My hand dropped to my lips and jaw, probing my teeth where the ache had been. I drew in a quick breath. There they were. Fangs. Very long and very, very sharp. I snatched my hand back. It was true then. I really had done the unthinkable. I'd become that which I hated most in the world. A vampire. A monster - Allie
"What are you doing to me? you make me question everything I've learned, everything I know. Truths I've believed since I was a kid, gone. What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be feeling any of this. Not for a....."- Zeke
Allie is a survivor. She lives through the deaths of her mother, her friends, and even her own, only to rise as a being she loathes, a vampire. She then gets trained by her maker, Kanin, to survive and kill if need be. Allie is forced go on her own after Kanin is attacked by a vicious vampire named Sarren.
On a road to nowhere she sees and helps a lost boy, Caleb, who happens to belong to a group of ragtag human survivors, one of whom is Zeke. He is the adopted son of Jebediah Crosse, leader of the group whose mission is to find Eden, the supposed human paradise. They sleep during the day and travel in the dark, always ready against rabids, animal like creatures feared by both humans and vampires.
Against her will, Allie gets close to Zeke. But everyday that she’s with him, she gets closer to either kissing or biting him for blood. Since vampires look human, Allie is able to keep her identity a secret until Ruth, the girl who wants Zeke for herself, discovers the truth. Zeke lets Allie go but she secretly follows the group on their march towards Eden.
Author Julie Kagawa has another winner in Allie Sekemoto. From the get go, Allie is a very strong character, even more so than Meghan chase of The Iron Fey series, Kagawa’s other bestseller.
Written in Allie’s perspective, this book is action packed and perfectly paced. Boredom will not set in as edge-of-your-seat moments are in every few pages. The romance is not too pushed, in fact I appreciate the subtlety of its progression where the readers are given time to breathe until almost at the end.
I can say nothing bad about this book. Julie kagawa is an amazing writer whose consistency is much appreciated by fans like me. So pick this up along with the Iron Fey series. I’m definitely looking forward to the sequel of The Immortal Rules: Blood of Eden. |

REKINDLING FAITH: REFLECTIONS ON MENTAL HEALTH FOR HANUKKAH
Home » In #QuietingTheSilence, Articles, Hanukkah, Holidays, Mental Health2020-12-072020-12-082/ziv_photo_hanukkah_bdf-article-copy-long-e1607446401172.jpg200px200px
Hanukkah is the retaken by the Maccabees in the second century. Since only 0.2 percent of the world’s population is Jewish, many people do not know much about Hanukkah. The holiday represents G-d’s protection of the Maccabean warriors when they reclaimed the Holy Temple in 139 BCE. In modern times, Hanukkah is recognized as the holiday Jews celebrate around the same time that 93 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas.
Also known as the Festival of Lights (חַג הַאוּרִים, Chag Ha’Urim), Hanukkah has been celebrated during periods of darkness for the Jewish people. We have heard stories of Jews lighting Hanukkah menorahs in the concentration camps and in other times when it was unsafe to celebrate. So it was without question that when my family was fighting a life-threatening battle last Hanukkah, we would find a way to celebrate this joyous holiday.
Last year, my daughter was dangerously depressed. Her invisible illness made it impossible for her. She was in an intensive outpatient treatment program for acute depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation. Her father and I knew dealing with mental health would be a journey on a rocky road. She seemed to be making progress. We celebrated the small victories and prayed for bigger ones.
Mental health professionals recommended sending her to an inpatient program where she could focus exclusively on her recovery with no other distractions. Having heard horror stories about inpatient psychiatric facilities, I was against the idea for a long time. Last December, when the doctor at the intensive outpatient program told me my daughter wanted to kill herself and had a plan, the choice was obvious. She needed to go inpatient. The fear that she might not live to see the next day was all too real.
There is a process of admitting a minor to a psychiatric hospital unit with protocols and safety measures most people are fortunate to never have to know. The thought of leaving my child alone there was terrifying. I called my rabbi from the hospital parking lot. He had been a compassionate counselor for my husband and me when we needed to make difficult decisions about caring for our daughter’s mental health. When my rabbi told me the hospital was exactly where she needed to be, I gathered up my strength to go inside and begin the admission process. With Hanukkah only days away, there was an extra layer of emotions thinking of the possibility that my daughter might need to stay in the hospital during the holiday.
I thought of the Hanukkah story. When the Maccabees prepared to light the Temple’s menorah, they found a small flask with enough pure olive oil to light it f
Just as the essence of Hanukkah was that G-d protected the Jewish people during the Maccabean Revolt, so, too, I prayed He would protect my child in her battle with mental health.
Symbolically, my daughter spent eight days in the adolescent psychiatric unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She received the care she needed and some extra perks of being a patient during the December holidays. My nice, Orthodox Jewish daughter smiled when she showed me the gifts “Santa” brought her and told me about the Ravens football player who came to visit.
As is true for any family with a loved one in the hospital, the focus is to do whatever is possible to get their family member well enough to come home. Although my husband and I tried to keep a sense of normalcy at home, there was no denying that our other children were scared. One of the adolescent psychiatric unit hospital rules is that visitors under 18 years old are not allowed. We were so grateful when they made an exception and let our other children see our daughter on the first night of Hanukkah. The nurse spread out a hospital blanket and plugged in an electric menorah in a quiet hallway near the security desk. We surprised our daughter with a family Hanukkah party where she opened presents, played dreidel, enjoyed eating hot latkes and lit the menorah with her sister and brother. She was so happy in that moment.
Hanukkah is not mentioned in the Torah. Similarly, mental health is a topic not often discussed within the Jewish community. We do not have accurate mental health statistics for the Jewish community, but we knowddiction mirrors that of the community at large. Mental health conditions are caused byoften beyond a person’s control.d, wheies, people may delay or discontinue treatment for fear of negative stereotypes.
The Hebrew word “Hanukkah” translates into “dedication.” With an abundance of gratitude to G-d for protecting my child as she fought for her life, I give thanks this Hanukkah. I rededicate myself to helping parents navigate their child’s mental health challenges and help schools and communities support families with mental health care needs.
When we light the Hanukkah menorah, it is a testimony to strengthening our faith and our connection with G-d. Hanukes that we have the strength to fight our battles and support others in their battles. May this Hanukkah be a season of blessings and miracles.

en | N/A | N/A | Dillard faces a learning curve during his transition to the NFL. During his career at Washington State, the Cougars led the nation in pass attempts each season and usually ranked at the bottom in rushing attempts. Dillard spent most of his career in two-point success, where he had great success — he allowed only one sack in his senior season — but the Eagles want him to get comfortable in a three-point stance in the running game. Dillard’s confident his run blocking can translate to the NFL level.
Dillard said he hasn’t had much time to explore his new city in the whirlwind two weeks since the draft. But he’s already gotten to know Eagles fans through their commentary on part of his appearance.
There will be plenty of eyes on Dillard over the coming weeks and months. He might not be scoring touchdowns or grabbing headlines in the rookie class this fall, but he’s a key piece for the Eagles to remain a top contender in the years to come.
Dillard, though, wasn’t thinking about that Friday. For him, the focus was on the drills he went through on an overcast day in South Philly. Lincoln Financial Field loomed in the distance, but Dillard’s focus remained right where he was. There will be many more days. |

The Men of Special Anti-Robbery Squad, in Ogun State, have reportedly killed a gang of armed robbers in a gun duel, at Itoku, in Abeokuta, the state capital, leaving two seriously injuredisclosed this, on Tuesday, at the SARS Office, Magbon, Abeokuta, while parading the two injured members of the syndicate, who were arrested after the clash.
Adejobi said the incident occurred on Sunday, at 9:30 p.m. under the newly constructed flyover bridge in the market, while the bandits, who were allegedly based in Ghana, attempted to loot the shops of the operators of bureau de change.
According to Adejobi, those who were arrested were Adamu Bamako and Ibrahim Tanko, who spoke Hausa language.
He said the suspects did not have any fixed address and that the Command could not identify their states of origin as of the moment of parading them before newsmen.
Adejobi said the Command would take steps to unravel their state of origin and take vital information from them.
“The SARS has placed them under surveillance through information that we have gathered from different angles that these members of the syndicate are based in Ghana, Togo.
“The SARS laid ambush for the syndicate. When they got to the scene, there was an exchange of gun fire, they engaged our men in gun duel that lasted for almost an hour. “Four of them fell during the battle while two of them were fatally injured and were arrested. One of our men sustained injury and has been treated,” he said.
Adejobi told newsmen that the two suspects arrested would be given medical treatment so as to get vital information to assist the command in its investigation.

I have been riding for many years, but because of getting older my rides are shorter and still too much fun. My question is about the advanced rider programs I have heard about but can't seem to find around here. I ride a 883, which I love and was made to fit me and my broken body. I love to go fast, I love being out front and I love curvy country roads. I placed pegs at various positions so that I am able to move when the pain starts setting in. I can even use my air cleaner to rest my bad knees. People think I am crazy to still be riding, but I forget all the bad things about me and go!
Sounds amazing…what an experience!Wish we had something like that over here… |

On the rumor of Vanilla Ice being the man designing his new home: "I'm not too sure where that came from. I was a fan of Vanilla back in 1991 but no. I got a helluva design team that's coming in. It's not Vanilla Ice. I'm not too sure where that came from. [Laughs.] It's crazy. But, no, no, no. No Vanilla Ice. I got my team. They're coming in."
On singing during Raw's "Rock Concert": "You know, the idea was to put on a great show. We went to Cleveland, it was this last Monday and we broke an all-time sell-out record for that building for the 'Rock Concert' and I had a blast. And yes, I will be coming on Idol so put in a good word."
On wrestling John Cena at WrestleMania 28: "Down here. My hometown of Miami at Dolphin Stadium/Sunlife Stadium and we broke a one day ticket sales record. I think, like, 50,000 tickets were sold in one day. It's going to be a helluva event."

It’s vital for good posture and a comfortable ride, that the bike that you choose suits your height. If you’re unsure which size frame suits you, especially when ordering a bike online, it’s recommended that you go into a store and get a feel for it first. That way, you’ll be able to determine which bike frame is suitable for your height. We could talk about determining bike frame size, but it’s always best to keep it simple; try before you buy.
Once again, if you try a bike in-store, test the brakes. If they can bring you to a sudden stop, that’s all you can ask for. We can’t stress how important it is to have powerful, reliable breaks. The sheer amount of accidents that occur due to cars coming out of laneways, and bicycle riders not being able to stop suddenly, is untenable.
Any bike with disc brakes will offer you the most stopping power. Disc brakes offer greater stopping power than traditional rubber breaks, especially in wet weather. If you’re wondering what disc brakes look like, refer to the image below. Basically, a metal disc in the centre of the wheel, as opposed to traditional brakes which have a rubber pad that presses on the rim of the bike’s wheel.
If you’re riding on the road or at speed, up or down hills, a wide selection of gears are vital. If you’re riding uphill, you’ll want to use a lower gear and vice versa.
Some delivery partners use fixed gear bikes, more commonly known as ‘fixies’, but these are only suitable for short distances or flat terrain suburban areas. Such bikes are popular due to their style, and can require less maintenance due to their lack of gears. However, we’d always suggest a bike with gears for delivery partners.
The XDS E-XPRESS Electric Bicycle in black
Want to take the effort out of riding a bike when delivering food between homes and restaurants? While bicycles can often be a cheaper alternative to scooters, it can become very tiring riding back and forth to deliver meals. E-Bikes have become a popular addition in recent years to help riders go the extra mile.
- High – for the ultimate speed boost
- Eco – enabling long distance travel (perfect for longer shifts)
The cycle computer will also track trip statistics such as distance and average speed.
The XDS E-Express is powered by a Shimano Mid-Drive motor. Mid-drive motors are the most popular option in e-bikes, as they allow you to pedal while being assisted by the motor. This provides many benefits, most notably a significant increase in range and speed. While usage may vary, you can expect a range of up to 75km on a single charge, more than enough for a night’s work on Uber Eats.
Whether you’re an Uber Eats aficionado, or dedicated to Deliveroo, the XDS E-Express is maybe the best choice for food delivery partners.
Take a seat and you’ll get flashbacks to your 3 year old self. But this bike has a few more bells and whistles than your Tonka Trike had.
E-Trikes are a fantastic option for those out there that may want an easier ride, or may not have the stability to manage a traditional 2 wheeler. Generally, a normal adult 3 wheeled bike can be cumbersome and tiring to operate, however with the assistance of an electric motor – it’s a hold different story.
Most would say this bike is an absolute joy for the heart and soul, but what we wanted to really identify is that any type of rider whether experienced or not can travel on this bike.
The in-built, low maintenance electric motor will get you from A to B with ease. A leisurely ride to the park? Maybe a trip to the supermarket. The rear steel basket has ample room for a picnic for two or your weekly shop. Regardless of where you’re going, the powerful rechargeable battery will get you anywhere and everywhere in little to no time.
This bike is pimped with the latest features:
- 36V Lithium ION battery for trips past 50km in distance.
XDS Bikes are designed in Melbourne, Australia. The creative design is equipped with quality components that are used in other house-hold brands including Weinerman, Tektro and RST.
With roots in the mountain bike family, this hybrid, sculpted piece of art is the perfect bike for fitness enthusiasts by day. As night turns and people start to get hungry, the press of a button will transform this manual mover into a motorised, food delivering machine. Great for on and off-rain terrain.
With variable frame sizes, you’ll find a suitable fit. Germans are most well-known for their sausages and their cars, but we’re adding bikes to the list.

en | N/A | N/A | There is a moment that keeps popping up in my memory, and it didn’t even happen at the show.
I had decided I needed at least a 71 to make it in the Level 3remember that comment striking me as one to remember after the lesson.
At show time, Miss Shiney and I completed all the required maneuvers of AQHA Reining pattern 8. To be honest, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t a “wow” run by a long shot.
Doug immediately answered, “It’s a beautiful day, and you have both feet on the ground. You didn’t get it this year, but you will. You will get there.”
As my tears subsided, Doug and I continued talking. He invited me to ride with him more, to keep my chin up, and keep working. He smiled then bid goodbye, mentioning he had two other horses to ride that day.
Over this past week, I realized something profoundly vital to my journey as a competitive equestrian.
Doug knew I most likely wouldn’t be finals bound. He knew Miss Shiney’s and my weaknesses. He still came to the show to support me. He still pushed me to be better up to the time I went through the gate.
I realized this past week, as much as I want the gold, I want to be a true horsewoman more.
Doug and I discussed the fact that the majority of horses we competed against live with trainers. They live life tuned to the max. We discussed that I have an uphill slope to climb since I choose to be a stay-at-home amateur. I have to work harder, understand more, feel more, implement more, and be better than the rest.
I’m truly blessed to have a horseman like Doug, who is willing to teach me and mold me. I firmly believe stay-at-home amateurs should find someone willing to teach them.

en | N/A | N/A | Review by Hugo a Gogo
"When will they ever get it right?"
Four-player fighting games have always been a bit hit and miss. I don’t know how many of you ever tried the various incarnations of this genre on PSX and DC, but I think I tried all of them. I even tracked down the illusive Thrill Kill, what a waste of time. Anyway, I have a group of mates who get together with me once every few weeks to, putting it quite simply, smoke and drink ourselves stupid while playing a load of four player games. Hell, we even had eight player Pro Evolution Soccer going the other week all on the same side playing as England in the world cup. Despite the ridiculous criticism from our girlfriends (or wives in some cases, you know who you are) that we could actually go outside and play for real with that many people. Tch, what do they know?
As you can see, not many fighting games. ‘But what about Barbarian, then?’ I hear you cry. Well don’t worry about that for now because it’s rubbish.
Why are all four player fighting games traditionally poor when there are tonnes of decent two player beat ‘em ups out there? Well, that’s it in a nutshell. With two player fighting games you basically are always facing your opponent, or rather you character is only going to ever be directing attacks at the one opponent, maybe I should say. This means essentially that there is plenty of scope to build a combo and attack system without the added complication of attack direction, since even though the game is presented in 3D, the game engine is based very simply around two combatants facing off against each other. Add three or four and this concept breaks down; having to cope with real 3D affects combos, now they have to cater for direction, for example how do you cope with someone attacking from the side and the front at the same time? What about attacking in one direction while being attacked from another? How would blocking work then? Could you start a combo then switch direction? If there are several of you could you team up and grab someone while someone else beat them up? Etc, etc…
Sadly the word ‘generic’ has never been more appropriate. You basically run around the various arenas taking it in turns to beat each other up (since the blocking system is pretty pointless), occasionally accidentally hitting the magic button for a special effect or two and it gets tiring very quickly. It even has the cheek to promote it self as having ‘role playing elements’, but it’s a con. They mean pre-match story boards with phrases like ''Keelya's father had many allies, on her quest for vengeance she sought out Tyros known for his simple sense of judgement, as is the custom in Barbarian a test of mettle was in order. They fought...'' Get the picture?
It’s gutting really, I love four player stuff so was really excited to get hold of this, but it turned out to be a damp squid. Try as we did, we just couldn’t rate it. You simply wait for the buzzer, hammer the buttons until you die, wait for everyone else to die then pick up your pad ready for the next round. It wasn’t long before we were searching for that trusty Pro Evolution Soccer disc again.
That makes Barbarian another disc to use as a coaster then. Oh well, at least my coffee table will last longer. |
en | N/A | N/A | Cameroon, Village of Mounguè: "Nda Bagyeli"
Considered the stronghold of the indigenous Bagyeli community of the village of Mounguè in the district of Bipindi, Nda Bagyeli is located at the end of a forest road, about fifteen minutes’ walk from the dirt-track Elogbatindi-Bipindi departmental highway, which connects the district of Bipindi to the district of Lokoundjé, also in the department of Océan.
As soon as she arrives, Régine gets busy gathering her brothers and sisters. Within minutes, almost all the young people, women, men and children are gathered together around the palaver tree Nda Bagyeli. Without protocol or formalities, Charles Madjoka - a Bagyeli leader and President of ARBO, the Océan Association of Bagyeli Representatives (Association des Représentants Bagyeli de l’Océan) - takes the floor. He greets his brothers and sisters in Bagyeli and raises the “Biopalm issue," a matter of concern for the whole community.
It is difficult for communities to get a copy of the decree. But in the document titled Newsletter on the Mandate of Great Opportunity found online, the decree on Biopalm is cited in the list of 84 decrees signed by the President of the Republic in December 2018 (p. 82).
This decree authorises the signing of an emphyteutic lease between the State of Cameroon as represented byand PALM RESOURCES CAMEROON LTD (BIOPALM), as represented by Mr. BISSO EYA Joseph on land that is part of private state property in the areas of “Gwap, Nkollo and Bella”, District of Lokoundjé, Department of Océan, with a view to establish an agro-industrial oil palm plantation.
On the map showing Biopalm’s concession boundaries, the Bagyeli of Mounguè note bitterly that the agribusiness company will occupy the land of their indigenous friends from neighbouring villages. Indeed, the map produced by civil society organisations based on the geographical boundaries specified in the presidential decree shows that Biopalm’s concession substantially encroaches on the land of the Bagyeli from the villages of Gwap, Nkollo and Bella.
As hunters-gatherers, the Bagyeli’s forest activities leave no trace. This allows neighbouring communities to share the same forest areas without any conflict. One more area of concern for the Bagyeli of Mounguè.
Paying close attention to the discussion, and after reviewing the information on the map, Catherine Ngo ko’o cannot imagine a life away from her forest. At 17 years old, the young Bagyeli woman from Mounguè wishes to see her forest preserved to perpetuate the Bagyeli culture.
To properly explain how Biopalm’s arrival would impact on their daily lives, Régine Louanga stands up, walks towards the forest and argues.
“Our home is in the forest. We cannot accept Biopalm since we don’t have another habitat, we cannot remain on the road. Biopalm will plant palm trees here behind our houses. If Biopalm comes, we will no longer have access to our forest. We will be forced to stay in our houses and will have very limited space to carry out our activities,” says the woman who settled in Mounguè as the wife of a local Bagyeli son some 30 years earlier.
People’s faces show concern, but also fierce determination to find a solution.
Located in the district of Lokoundjé, department of Océan, South Region, the village of Gwap is renowned for the warm hospitality of its communities. And the Bagyeli of Gwap are no exception. The village of Gwap shares territorial boundaries with the village of Mounguè and like the latter, its two communities, i.e. the indigenous Bagyeli people and the Bantu (Bassa’a) people, coexist.
The news that a lease was to be signed between Cameroon and Biopalm for oil palm production in Gwap, Nkollo and Bella comes as a hammer blow to the Bagyeli of Gwap. They have heard about Biopalm since 2012, following Decree No 2012/168 of 29 March 2012, allocating by a temporary grant to Biopalm company two areas of national land encompassing 3,348 hectares located in the area of Bella. This was followed by a second decree, No 2012/3509/PM of 1 November 2012, under which 21,552 ha of the land that formerly formed part of the UFA 00-003 were “dedicated” to agricultural use through an unclear procedure.
The communities did not become aware of this second decree until much later. Referring to the first decree, the communities of Gwap thought that only the village of Bella was to be affected by Biopalm’s oil palm project. But they witnessed the presence of the company on their land as well. Concerned that the State would plan to allocate their land to the agribusiness, they spoke out against the project early on. On 31 August 2015, the Development Committees of the villages of Gwap, Mounguè and Nkollo sent a letter to the Governor of the South Region with the following subject matter: “Inhabitants of the villages of NKOLLO, GWAP and MOUNGUÈ opposing BIOPALM project implementation.” Subsequently, many other letters of opposition, also including the Bagyeli and Bantu communities of Bella (although part of the Bantu community in Bella, including their traditional chief, are in favour of the project) were sent to the government, particularly to the President’s Office.
"If this project comes here, our forest will disappear. They [Biopalm] will snatch our land away. We have a lot of good things in this forest. We accept to preserve it as we greatly benefit from it. In contrast, this palm plantation thing: we don’t need it. We want what secures our forest."
Securing their forests is a priority for these communities. “We prefer community forests because they maintain all of our activities. But if our forests are allocated to Biopalm, we are lost. I’ll never be able to accept this,” Virginie states. In Gwap, as in the neighbouring villages, community forests are seen as a strategy to avoid land grabbing.
With support from civil society organisations (particularly the Association Okani and Forest Peoples Programme), the communities of Gwap, Nkollo and Mounguè are currently in the process of securing their forests through Community Forests. They filed their application for a Temporary Agreement with the State for Community Forest Management in November and December 2018. The community of Bella wanted to do the same, but their application remains blocked by their chief, a supporter of Biopalm, who refuses to sign.
The communities of Gwap, Nkollo and Mounguè were still awaiting a response from government authorities about this application when they found out about the Biopalm decree. The indigenous and Bantu communities of Mounguè, Gwap and Nkollo don’t know what will become of their project to create Community Forests. Indeed, according to the map prepared based on the data specified in the decree, the new Biopalm concession, which covers more than 18 thousand hectares, overlaps with the plots of land identified by these communities to establish Community Forests.
"This bark and these leaves I hold in my hand are a traditional medicine. Actually, yesterday, my daughter was sick. I put a small amount in water. She drank it and she’s better now. Trees are blessed. Each tree in the forest heals at least one illness. This is why I defend this forest, as this is my pharmacy. So, I cannot accept that Biopalm comes and takes this forest. How will my children and I manage?"
Even access to drinking water is a real problem for these residents. Due to the lack of water points in Gwap, many Bagyeli use water from the rivers located just behind their houses. Others have to go to the next village, Nkollo, located around ten kilometres away to get drinking water.
Among the Bagyeli women we interviewed in Nkollo, out of eight women over the age of 20 who have given birth at least once, seven say they have lost at least one child. And yet there is a health centre in the village. However, corroborating sources report that this centre’s nurse is now working only part time.
Suzanne Ngo Mba, also pregnant, shares the same view.
“I am pregnant. When the palm plantation invades us (since you want us to leave you our forests), we will no longer have access to rivers to go fishing. Even with those palm trees, we will not be allowed to cut nuts from them or pass through to go pick fruits in the forest. Even if I dare to go find a space, the company’s guards would shoot me, and I would die for nothing. I don’t accept the plantation here,” says the 29-year old woman who has already given birth to nine children, of whom only two are still alive.
Joseph Lipani, leader of the Bagyeli community of Nkollo, shows a look of surprise and anger. Wearing a T-shirt with a picture of the head of state Paul Biya, he can hardly believe that the president of the Republic of Cameroon could sign this decree at the expense of the indigenous Bagyeli communities. “By signing this kind of text, is the head of state not aware of the existence of the Bagyeli in his country?” he asks himself before leaning back on his seat.
Just as Nkollo and Gwap, Bella is one of the villages where the Biopalm project is to be established. The village’s neighbourhoods, Bella-Haut and Bella-Bas, are home to Bantus (Bakoko), but also - importantly, to two indigenous Bagyeli communities.
In Bella-Haut, community leaders look over the map showing the Biopalm concession boundaries set at their expense. Surprised, they ask one another why the Bagyeli’s views were not sought before this project.
The Bagyeli sons and daughters of Bella say they were not consulted before the decree on Biopalm’s agribusiness concession was signed. The indigenous communities of Mounguè, Gwap and Nkollo make the same complaint. However, according to the international conventions of which Cameroon is party, the ancestral lands and territories of the Bagyeli – and other traditional communities – belong to them, even if not officially recognized by the state. Therefore, Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) must be required by the state before any form of land grabbing takes place. These rights stem from, inter alia007.
According to tRoundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), “FPIC is the righgive or to withhold their consent to any project ” Such consent should be given without any form of coercion or intimidation,. The strong opposition from the communities leaves no doubt: these communities never gave their consent.
Marie Djoki, a 45-year-old mother of one, is from Bella. Engaged in the fight for Bagyeli women’s rights and empowerment, and a member of the Océan Association of Bagyeli Representatives, Marie breastfeeds her baby while participating in the Bagyeli community meeting in Bella Bas.
Boniface Baman, a 31-year-old father of two, dreams of a future for the Bagyeli children of Bella, of which he is a part. He is convinced that development in his village will not come about through establishing an oil palm agribusiness company.
“We have travelled to villages that were affected by such plantations. There, people only cry out of misery. If palm plantations were developed, why did they not develop those villages? Will they develop Bella?” young Boniface asks inquiringly.
From Mounguè in the district of Bipindi, to Bella in the district of Lokoundjé, the call for help from both Bantu and Bagyeli communities is the same. This rejection of the Biopalm project implementation is not new, and neither is the Biopalm issue.
The first announcement related to Biopalm dates back to 2011. On 25 August 2011, the online news outlet Cameroon Today reported that SIVA Group, Biopalm Energy Limited,ve-year Biopalm project on 24 August 2011 in Fifinda. “Over 900 billion FCFA will be invested in this project to generate over 40,000 direct jobs and contribute in reducing palm oil deficit in Cameroon,” according to MINADER, the news outlet states.
An apparently unrelated event occurs months later. Cameroon’s Prime Minister signs Decree No 2012/3509/PM of 1 November 2012 on the re-zoning of an area of forest that is part of Private State Property.
The remaining part, covering an area of 104,016 hectares remains dedicated to timber production. This leads to a change in the boundaries of the Forest Management Unit (Unité forestière d’aménagement – UFA) No 00 003 owned by the Forestry Company of Kribi. Note that the UFA No 00 003, formerly owned by MMG (Mba Mba Gregoire), was transferred to FCK.
So far, the communities haven't made a connection between Biopalm and the new re-zoning of the forest. To the contrary, they hope that the decommissioned area will be granted to the communities. In fact, they are not aware of the specifics of the re-zoning, which they only find out about many years later when the civil society organisations that support the communities manage to obtain a copy of the decree.
In the village of Bella, years go by and Biopalm does not start operations. However, the shadow of the agribusiness company is still hanging over the department of Océan, including Bella, Nkollo, Gwap and Mounguè.
As a result of these various procedures, the authorities convene a meeting with these communities. On this occasion, both the Bantu and the Bagyeli reaffirm their positions and believe they have been heard.
Under the threat of their land being grabbed, the indigenous Bagyeli communities are advocating for the preservation of their forests for future generations, as the knowledge of indigenous communities - recognised as the first inhabitants of the forests of Cameroon and across the Congo Basin - teaches. |
