Xi’s Costly Obsession With Security
How a Quest for Control Threatens China’s Economic Growth
On October 6, U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law a bill for which feminists had long campaigned: the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017. This law recognizes how critical women are to achieving global security and aims to increase their participation in U.S. conflict mediation and negotiation efforts around the world. Yet the act, although laudable in and of itself, fails to acknowledge the most widespread threat to women and girls: domestic violence, especially violence perpetrated by intimate partners. By focusing explicitly on conflict-related sexual violence—defined as crimes committed by armed organizations—both the Women, Peace, and Security Act and the broader agenda it advances prioritize violence perpetrated by combatants, as opposed to intimate partners. Such a focus sends the wrong message—that violence occurring over the course of a war is somehow more egregious than the violence that over one-third of women experience inside their homes.
The shocking narratives of wartime rape and sexual slavery perpetrated by combatants are certainly attention grabbing. But social scientists have found that violence committed by intimate partners is the more pervasive threat to women’s physical security.
The World Health Organization estimates that almost one-third of women who have been in a relationship have experienced physical or sexual violence by their intimate partner. And 38 percent of female murders are committed by a boyfriend or spouse. By comparison, sexual violence done by armed groups is much less prevalent. According to the best available data set on sexual violence in armed conflict, between 1989 and 2009—a 20-year time span that included the civil wars in the Balkans, central Africa, and West Africa—7,331 incidents of sexual violence by armed groups were recorded (against both male and female victims).
Even in some conflict settings, new research suggests that the frequency of sexual violence by armed actors is significantly less than that by intimate partners, acquaintances, and other caregivers. According to a survey of 12 rural communities in Côte d’Ivoire during the 2000–2007 conflict, only four percent of women endured forced sex by perpetrators other than intimate partners. Another survey of 15 conflict-affected municipalities in Colombia found that the reported rate of rape by family members was triple the reported rate by combatants. Finally, a recent study of violence against adolescent girls in refugee camps in Ethiopia and South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, found that the most frequently reported perpetrators were intimate partners, followed by caregivers or relatives.
New research also suggests that intimate partner violence may be a predictor of other forms of mass violence, conflict, and state insecurity. According to one study, in more than half of U.S. mass shootings between 2009 and 2016, the male killer shot an intimate partner or another family member. Both the 2017 Texas church shooter and the man who killed 49 people at an Orlando, Florida nightclub in 2016 had histories of domestic violence. In the 2012 book Sex and World Peace, the scholar Valerie M. Hudson and her colleagues used quantitative measures and found a statistically significant relationship between the physical security of women, which included measures of domestic violence, and the overall peacefulness of states.
Intimate partner violence may be a predictor of other forms of mass violence, conflict, and state insecurity.
Hudson and her colleagues have also posited a causal theory that could explain the relationship between domestic and mass political violence. They suggest that when violence against women and girls in the home is not checked and controlled, “dysfunctional templates of violence” are diffused throughout society. Another way of saying this is that men rehearse scripts of violent behavior against women in the home and, once these aggressions are normalized and accepted, are then empowered to act out in similarly destructive ways on more public stages.
What, then, can be done to ensure that domestic violence against women and girls is prioritized in U.S. foreign policy and international security policy more generally? First, the Trump administration can build on its passage of the Women, Peace, and Security Act and strengthen the institutions within the U.S. government that are spearheading global efforts to prevent domestic violence.
Within the U.S. government, a State Department office created by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—the Office of Global Women’s Issues—has worked to make the empowerment of women and girls a cornerstone of U.S. foreign security policy. One of its landmark achievements was to collaborate with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to draft the first-ever U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally. Guided by this strategy, over the past few years the U.S. government has supported many promising programs to prevent domestic violence against women and girls, such as advocacy to pass domestic violence laws, training of law enforcement personnel to enforce these laws, legal aid clinics for women, community sensitization campaigns to change norms and attitudes about violence against women, and female economic empowerment programs. This office, however, is still operating without the appointment of an ambassador-at-large, and there needs to be a high-profile ambassador to forcefully promote the agenda.
In addition, the Trump administration should ramp up funding to prevent domestic violence against women and girls globally. The fiscal year 2018 foreign assistance budget request included about $102 million for gender-based violence programming globally, which is lower than the fiscal year 2017 funding of about $157 million. Given the astonishing scale of violence against women worldwide, this number needs to be increasing, not decreasing.
Finally, women’s rights activists can themselves do more to ensure that domestic violence is prioritized by implementers of the women, peace, and security agenda, as well as in international security conversations more generally. This means refusing to accept any artificially rigid distinction between domestic violence and other forms of violence described as political or conflict related—a distinction that has resulted in a privileging of certain types of victims over others. Any discussion of peace and security must begin to account for the security of women in their homes; it is not enough to include women at the conflict resolution table if the agenda continues to exclude violence perpetrated by intimate partners.
November 25 marked the beginning of the 16 days of “Activism Against Gender-Based Violence,” initiated in 1991 by the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute to call attention to women’s rights as human rights. This year’s campaign has been preceded by a confluence of events in the United States that have highlighted the enduring challenges of harassment, abuse, and violence against women. The theme of this year’s activities, “Leave No One Behind: End Violence Against Women and Girls,” reinforces the international community’s commitment to reaching the most marginalized women and girls. It is an ambitious agenda, and one that will be achieved only if violence in the home is treated with the seriousness that its prevalence demands.

Australia Tax Alert - 27 August 2012
Parliament passes Investment Manager Regime legislation
By Peter Madden, Vik Khanna, Mark Hadassin, Alyson Rodi and David Watkins
On 23 August 2012, the Australian parliament passed amending legislation for Elements 1 and 2 of the Investment Manager Regime (IMR). It is expected the legislation will become enacted law shortly.
This amending legislation follows numerous announcements going back to December 2010 and two draft versions of the IMR rules (see also the tax alert dated 27 June 2012). The amending legislation addresses the "FIN 48" measure or Element 1 of the IMR, which will broadly provide an exemption for all eligible income and gains of widely held foreign funds for periods up to 30 June 2011 where the fund has not filed an Australian income tax return or had an assessment made of its Australian income tax liability. This legislation gives effect to the government announcement of 17 December 2010.
The measures also provide an exemption for all eligible income and gains of widely held foreign funds that otherwise would be Australian assessable income of the fund only because the income and gains are attributable to a permanent establishment in Australia that arises solely from the use of an Australian-based agent, manager or service provider. This measure is referred to as the "conduit income" measure or Element 2 of the IMR and will apply as from 1 July 2010, giving effect to the government announcement of 19 January 2011.
While the legislation has not addressed some of the shortcomings in the earlier draft, especially as regards the widely held and concentration tests, the government made the following comments on 23 August 2012:
Consultation with industry has highlighted that it is not possible at this stage to define in legislation all of the different investment entity structures operating in eligible offshore jurisdictions.
Where entities satisfy the policy intent of the measures in this legislation, the Government will use the regulation-making power provided in the legislation to ensure that they benefit from the IMR.
The Gillard Government will continue to engage with industry to ensure that the objectives of the legislation are delivered.
The Government remains committed to ensuring Australia's taxation arrangements for passive portfolio investments of managed funds are in line with those of other major financial centres such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Singapore.
This statement reinforces the government's commitment to the IMR regime, and the government's intention to ensure that the policy goal of the measures is met.
Funds should immediately undertake an "IMR Fund Review" to test their fund structures and their Australian income to determine whether they benefit from the pre-30 June 2011 FIN 48 exemption. If the relevant tests are met, this should address FIN 48 issues that may otherwise arise in Australia. If a fund is unable to pass the tests as currently set out in Element 1 and 2 of the IMR legislation, the reasons for failure need to be identified and brought to the government's attention so as to pursue regulations that will allow the funds to qualify for the IMR, provided the policy intent of the measures is met.
At this stage, no draft legislation has been prepared for IMR Element 3 dealing with periods post-30 June 2011.

Vine star Nash Grier already shares much of his life with his 12.2 million followers. Now he’s taking it one step further with an autobiographical documentary.
The film, which is heading into production and plans to wrap in the spring of next year, will use documentary segments and comedic pieces to chart how Grier has become a social media star in a few short years.
In addition, Grier is shopping a behind-the-scenes docuseries, which is being shot simultaneously with the documentary and will focus on how his life changes in the process of making the film, from the moment production begins to the day after the premiere. Grier is co-producing both projects through his NSHT LLC production company alongside IMG Original Content.
Grier, 17, rose to popularity for his six-second comedy Vines in 2013 and today boasts 3.2 billion loops. Recently, he expanded beyond Vine into acting with The Outfield, a film from Fullscreen that co-stars fellow Viner Cameron Dallas and is being released Nov. 10 on iTunes. Earlier this year, Grier and younger brother Hayes Grier signed an exclusive two-year deal with DigiTour Media to produce all live events through 2016 as well as embark on their own world tour.
Grier is repped by WME and 26 MGMT.

In 2007, the iPhone ushered in an era of touchscreen gadgets that caused most buttons to vanish from our phones forever. But there was one brief moment in the gray, transitory haze between buttons and touchscreens that an unlikely company tried to fuse the two together. BlackBerry split the difference by boldly asking, “What if a touchscreen was also a hardware button?”
Thus was born the BlackBerry Storm, a device whose entire touchscreen doubled as a pressable button. The Storm was one of the first (and last) attempts to bridge the legacy world of physical keyboards and the modern world of touchscreens. But to understand the existence of the BlackBerry Storm and its bizarre clicking screen, we first need to go back and understand BlackBerry at the height of its power — and why it wanted to keep buttons alive.
To BlackBerry, buttons were the entire point of its products. When you picture a BlackBerry phone in your head, you’re not seeing an interchangeable slab. You’re seeing a full QWERTY keyboard that spans the lower third of a phone, with impossibly small keys that are somehow perfect to type on. A BlackBerry without the ubiquitous, clicky keyboard for firing off BBM messages and emails was hardly a BlackBerry at all. Even the company’s logo evokes the chiclet keys that built its brand.
But even the most beloved buttons can’t beat back the inexorable waves of progress: touchscreens were the future, and BlackBerry had to jump on board. As Steve Jobs commented in his now-famous 2007 iPhone introduction, phones like the BlackBerry or Palm Treo “all have these keyboards that are there whether you need them or not to be there, and they all have these control buttons that are fixed in plastic.” And as such, they’re unable to adapt to specific applications or user interfaces. It was an observation that would precede the announcement of the touchscreen-only iPhone and the beginning of the end for hardware buttons on phones.
Touchscreens were the future, and BlackBerry had to jump on board
BlackBerry got the message. And so, in 2008, the company made the Storm, its first touchscreen phone. At the time, the device had a 3.25-inch screen, much larger than its then-typical 2.5-inch screens. And it didn’t have a physical keyboard.
Instead, the Storm had a unique “SurePress” display: rather than keyboard buttons, the entire display was a gigantic button that could be clicked down like a trackpad. On an iPhone, you simply tapped away at a virtual keyboard with no real indication that you were pressing anything. On the BlackBerry Storm, you physically had to “press” each key to type, complete with an ultra-satisfying “click” sound, thanks to the mechanical switch underneath.
It was a great idea, in theory. In practice, the Storm was terrible to type on. (There’s a reason we use lots of little keys to type rather than one giant button.) The huge screen on the Storm was slow and had to fully lower and raise before you could press another key. The lightning-fast typing that BlackBerry power users had grown used to slowed to a glacial pace — typing out one letter at a time.
In practice, the Storm was terrible to type on
The company would try to tweak the formula on the Storm2 a year later, replacing the single mechanical switch with four piezoelectric switches at the corners of the display (making it possible to “press” multiple keys at once). It also added a full-size QWERTY keyboard in vertical orientation (where the original only offered a strange two-letter-per-key option). But even then, the SurePress technology wasn’t good enough to replicate the feeling of typing on one of BlackBerry’s normal keyboards.
BlackBerry tried to offer customers the best of both worlds when it made the Storm; instead, it managed to harness the worst qualities of both physical hardware and touchscreen typing. It resulted in a laggy, slow experience that wasn’t particularly enjoyable or easy to type on. The physical elements were louder and more fatiguing for users than a traditional QWERTY keyboard, without any of the tactile benefits of multiple hardware keys. The added friction from the physical switch detracted from any major benefits of a touchscreen for typing, too.
It’s no wonder that BlackBerry would abandon its SurePress technology shortly afterward: in 2010, its subsequent flagship, the BlackBerry Torch, would offer a display that was the same size as the Storm but with a traditional BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard.
BlackBerry would bounce between full touchscreen devices and its familiar hardware keyboard for years after the Storm (even offering both in many cases). But the company never tried to build a tactile touchscreen again.
Because while buttons can be a good way to use a phone — and touchscreens can be a good way to use a phone — a massive touchscreen-button hybrid turned out to be a terrible idea.

While Tennessee was inventing ways to lose at home to Missouri, Vanderbilt was making up a 17-point deficit to beat Ole Miss in Oxford.
You want to talk about role reversal, there it is.
The once mighty Vols will soon be looking for a new coach. A long-time laughing stock of the SEC, Vanderbilt is riding high and on its way to an unprecedented back-to-back bowl games.
Second-year Vanderbilt Coach James Franklin has been trying to convince everyone that this is not the “same old Vandy." Many who have heard coaches say this for too many years, nod our head, roll our eyes and mutter, “Seeing is believing.’’
I remember when Vanderbilt was going through one of its many coaching changes. It showed favorite son Watson Brown the door and brought in little known Gerry DiNardo to turn the ship around.
It was orchestrated by then-AD Paul Hoolahan, who knew DiNardo from playing high school football with DiNardo’s older brother in New York City.
DiNardo’s first press conference was before Brown had a press conference to explain his firing. It didn’t go over well with local media.
The question was quickly raised to DiNardo: This program has been losing for years. What makes you think you can get it done here?
Fair question. To which DiNardo replied, “I have a plan."
Being the curious sort, I asked DiNardo if he would share his plan since no one else had figured it out.
“No. I have studied this program and my plan will work," he replied.
At the conclusion of the press conference, I walked to the back of the room, where the late Vanderbilt jack-of-all-trades Richard Baker was sitting. Baker started working for Vanderbilt athletics department after high school.
I asked Baker how many football coaches he had seen at Vanderbilt. He laughed, his ample belly shaking. He had counted the previous night and I recall his number was double-digits.
“Did any of them have a plan, Bake?" I asked.
He roared. “Every one of them, Mr. Biddle. Every one of them."
Well, whatever plan James Franklin brought with him from Maryland is working.
What James Franklin is selling, the players are buying. So are the fans, eager after all those decades of waiting ‘til next year.
Why, Franklin has 70-year-old fans holding up six fingers at the start of the fourth quarter. That means his players are going to give it their all for six seconds at a time the rest of the game. Why six seconds? Franklin calculated the average play takes six seconds.
Franklin tells you this is a game changer. He preaches it from billboards, on radio and TV spots, in the newspapers.
He has changed the losing culture and proven Vanderbilt can win football games, even in the SEC.
They are 6-4, with four of those wins coming in SEC games. They are not your father’s Commodores, or as rival fans used to call them, Commode-dores.
Tennessee comes to town Saturday, reeling from a 0-6 SEC record and playing for most likely, a lame duck coach.
Will Vanderbilt Stadium be bathed in orange Saturday? Or will Vanderbilt fans use their tickets and show up in mass?
Tennessee’s still dangerous offensively, but still a train wreck on defense.
Saturday may be the day Vanderbilt can tell Tennessee fans to “Wait ‘till next year."

How to Configure SSH on Cisco Router or Switch?
Enable SSH on Cisco Router and Configure SSH on Cisco Router or Switch.
Short and complete guide to configure SSH on Cisco router and switch for secure remote connection. The Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. The best-known example application is for remote login to computer systems by users.
SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server. Common applications include remote command-line login and remote command execution, but any network service can be secured with SSH. The protocol specification distinguishes between two major versions, referred to as SSH-1 and SSH-2.
The typical use of SSH Protocol
The protocol is used in corporate networks for:
- providing secure access for users and automated processes
- interactive and automated file transfers
- issuing remote commands
- managing network infrastructure and other mission-critical system components.
Configure SSH on Cisco Router or Switch
To configure SSH on Cisco router, you need to do:
- Enable SSH on Cisco router.
- Set Password for SSH.
- Force remote access to use SSH.
- Enable Password Encryption.
- Add domain name Server (DNS).
- Add Username and Password.
Let’s enable and configure SSH on Cisco router or switch using the below packet tracer lab. The configure on a packet tracer lab and real Cisco devices are the same. Just try to learn and do it what the SSH remote authentication needs.
Download the packet tracer lab or create your own lab. SSH Configuration Packet Tracer Lab.
In this example, I just enable and configure SSH on SW1 and trying to access it from PC1. It’s enough to learn how to configure SSH on Cisco router.
R1> R1>enable R1#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. R1(config)# R1(config)#ip domain-name Technig.com R1(config)#crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: R1.Technig.com Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes. How many bits in the modulus : 1024 % Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK] R1(config)# *Mar 1 0:5:57.974: %SSH-5-ENABLED: SSH 1.99 has been enabled R1(config)# R1(config)#username Admin password Technig R1(config)#line vty 0 4 R1(config-line)#login local R1(config-line)#transport input ssh R1(config-line)#exit R1(config)#ip ssh version 2 R1(config)#ip ssh authentication-retries 3 R1(config)# R1(config)#ip ssh time-out 120 R1(config)#exit R1#
That’s all. Let’s check the process one by one.
- I have set DNS domain name with “IP domain-name” command.
- Then configure the router to use RSA key pair with modulus size of 1024 bites for remote service authentication with “crypto key generate rsa” command.
- Add username “Admin” with Password of “Technig” for ssh authentication.
- Enabled ssh with “line vty 0 4” command.
- Configure ssh to use local username and password with “login local” command. Remember that you can set a username and password for ssh with “username Admin password Technig” command as well. But here we configure ssh to use local username and password.
- Configure the router to accept only ssh connection with “transport input ssh” command.
- Configure ssh to version 2 using “IP ssh version 2” and set the authentication times to 3 with “IP ssh authentication-retries 3” command.
- Finally set the ssh timeout to 120 seconds with “IP ssh time-out 120” command.
Related Article: Install SSH on CentOS 8.x and Red Hat Linux
The final step is to test the connectivity of ssh from PC1 with “ssh -l Admin 192.168.1.1” command for command prompt.
C:\>ssh -l Admin 192.168.1.1 Open Password: R1>en R1>enable Password: R1#
OK, the ssh works perfectly.

Never allowing himself to pay any mind to all the times he heard “No!” throughout his entire career, Daniel Bryan declares that “Yes!” he will walk out of The Showcase of the Immortals with the Universal Championship.
SmackDown Tag Team Title Fatal 4-Way Match: SmackDown, April 9, 202102:58 Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode retained in SmackDown Tag Team Title Fatal 4-Way Match After initiating a pre-match brawl with The Street Profits that quickly drew Otis & Chad Gable and Rey & Dominik Mysterio into the fray, SmackDown Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode ultimetaely prevailed over the three challenging tandems in an explosive Fatal 4-Way showdown.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Nia Jax collided with a potential WrestleMania opponent from Night 1’s Tag Team Turmoil Match, Tamina. Just when it looked as if Tamina may knock off The Irresistible Force, Shayna Baszler prevented the pinfall and brought an end to the match by disqualification. Nevertheless, Tamina & Natalya still walked out with momentum heading into The Show of Shows when they knocked The Queen of Spades out of the ring.
Claiming Daniel Bryan “weaseled” his way into the main event of WrestleMania and that he himself forged the very path that Roman Reigns first used to make it in WWE, an impassioned Edge said he was destined to be the next Universal Champion because, like everything else he had done in his storied career, he has dreamt it and would manifest it.
Moments after SmackDown aired footage of Sami Zayn inviting himself to Logan Paul’s Training Camp in Miami, Kevin Owens once again attacked The Master Strategist and nearly delivered the Stunner to his WrestleMania adversary before Zayn escaped.
This year’s action-packed Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal came down to Ricochet, Jey Uso, King Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura. “Main Event” Uso endured the Kinshasa and reversed The Artist’s attempt to throw him over the top rope to emerge victorious.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns closed out the special WrestleMania edition of SmackDown by insisting that he will crush the dreams of Edge and Daniel Bryan and use their defeat as a launching point for the next great year as The Head of the Table.

Today sees the release of supernatural vampire comedy “Dark Shadows,” director Tim Burton’s big-screen adaptation of the gothic soap opera of the same name that aired from 1966-1971. To mark its release, I thought I’d take a look at the ten finest on-screen performances of its leading man: Johnny Depp, the 48-year-old acting chameleon and global megastar whose 28-year career has seen him playing oddball outsiders, murderous madmen and actual chameleons in drug-addled dramas, quirky comedies, gothic horrors and computer-animated family flicks. Let’s begin. [Read more…]
Some see the Academy Awards as a way to gauge whether a film is good or not. This is a foolish move and here are the top ten reasons why. Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the TBR jury, here are the top ten Oscar Snubs of all time: [Read more…]
As the age-old saying goes, what goes up must come down; the ten individuals listed below certainly know this. These ten actors are Hollywood ex-starlets whose once-glimmering careers have taken quite a tumble over the last few years or so, be this from bad role choices, box-office blunders or personal problems. They’re also actors whom I firmly believe should be awarded with the Mickey Rourke/Robert Downey, Jr. treatment, i.e. a shining comeback.
So, scroll down, take a look and see if you think any of these washed-up has-beens deserve to be placed back in the spotlight as I personally think they should be. I should probably note that they’re assembled in alphabetical order of surname, and not in order of washed-up-iness. [Read more…]
Charlie Sheen….well, what more can be said about Charlie that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? I mean, let’s face it: the guy is not connected with the real world.
But that’s not what this article is about. You won’t see jokes about tiger blood or winning here, so if you came for that, you should leave and change as a person because seriously, what’s wrong with you? Now that those unfortunates are banished, we can focus on what this article is really about: pointing and laughing at stupid things Charlie Sheen pulled in the movies. [Read more…]
Paul Giamatti is not what we normally expect out of a leading man. He’s short, he’s pudgy, he’s balding…and he’s awesome. Here are five of his best movies, and why he makes them great. [Read more…]

China will “fill the gap” in Solomon Islands’ troubled budget, after Australia and other traditional development partners suddenly withdrew millions of dollars in promised funding, the country’s prime minister has claimed.
While the Albanese government immediately denied the claim, Manasseh Sogavare again condemned Australia and the U.S for criticising his country’s policing pact with China, saying while Australian and other Pacific police forces were its “partner of choice”, China was a welcomed additional security ally.
“It takes only nine hours’ flight from China to land forces here,” he said.
The Australian government said no development funding had been withdrawn. “Australia has delivered on our budget support commitments,” a spokesperson told the Guardian.
Sogavare, a four-time prime minister with an oft-troubled relationship with Australia, gave a rare – and excoriating – press conference at Honiara airport immediately upon his return from a week-long visit to China.
He said China had agreed to patch the Solomons’ ailing budget for this year and blamed the country’s traditional aid partners – citing Australia and New Zealand – for agreeing to cover the shortfall but then reneging.
“Some of our donor partners who have committed to providing budget support to us this year have since changed their position and delayed their assistance for us and we are struggling to finance the 2023 budget,” he said.
“This has left this country and people in a predicament. But I am glad to announce, and delighted to announce, the People’s Republic of China has really stepped up to provide this budget support needed for 2023.”
Sogavare said China was providing in health, agriculture and sport, in building infrastructure and in addressing climate change.
He said China might “very well be the answer to – not all – but most of our challenges”, but also that the Solomons needed to free itself from the “yoke” of foreign assistance.
“I will not allow our people to live in a perpetual state of dependency. We must break the yoke and shackles of dependency … It’s time to empower ourselves.”
Sogavare said the Solomons’ traditional allies and partners should not fear its growing relationship with China or with any other country.
“Solomon Islands has no enemies, only friends. Our struggle is to develop. We stretch out our hand of friendship and seek honest cooperation and partnership with all countries.”
In a statement, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said no development funding had been withdrawn:
“Australia has delivered on our budget support commitments to Solomon Islands this year.”
“This support has been provided across numerous sectors in Solomon Islands, including health, education and elections. We continue to discuss development and budget support needs with the Solomon Islands government,” a spokesperson said.
Last year, Australia provided about $40m (US$27 million) for budget support, including for health, education and Covid recovery. Australia has also committed $25m (US$17 million) in election support and $16.7m (US$11.3 million) for the Pacific Games.
Sogavare’s comments, first reported by the ABC, also reiterated criticism of Australia and U.S for their concerns over a policing pact between the Solomons and China.
“The narrow and coercive diplomatic approach of targeting China-Solomon Islands relations, and I want to use this word, is unneighbourly … This is nothing but interference of foreign states in the internal affairs of Solomon Islands,” he said.
“China has not invaded or colonised any other nation-state. Australia and the United States should not fear China’s police support.”
Australian police forces led the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) – known as Operation Helpem Fren – after longstanding civil tensions in the archipelago’s main islands erupted into violence in 2003. The Ramsi mission, which ran until 2017, was criticised by Sogavare, who argued it was dominated by Australia and subjugated Solomons’ sovereignty.
Australia also sent defence force personnel and federal police to Honiara in 2021 to quell anti-government riots.
However, Sogavare emphasised Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific nations would remain the “partner of choice” for Solomons’ security and said he would call those nations first for help if violence again broke out.
“We have a standing, a current arrangement with Siaf (Solomon Islands Assistance Forces) with Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Fiji, but now we’ll need to dialogue with them, as we are consistent that they are our partner of choice … We’ll need to call on them first,” he said.
But Sogavare said his country now had a “standing arrangement” with China as well and if there were delays in other forces arriving in the Solomons, “it takes only nine hours’ flight from China to land forces here”.
“Nothing is actually stopping me from that if there are some hiccups along the way.
“We can invoke our security arrangements. Nothing will stop this sovereign country,” he said.

Spirulina is a type of natural powder that is rich in protein and other essential nutrients.
For many years, it has been a potent source of nutrients especially if it is harvested direct from non-contaminated water ponds. There are many Spirulina health benefits because of the essential amino acids and proteins contained in it. Nutritional experts and professionals recommend it for vegetarians because of the high iron content in it.
Spirulina is a natural powder with the best health boosting qualities. For starters, 65% of it is pure protein and amino acids. It also contains other essential fatty acids such as gamma linolenic. This type of acid is good for the body because of its anti inflammatory properties. The results are more positive and effective if you take Spirulina with Omega 3 supplements. Spirulina health benefits cannot be doubted because of its richness in Chlorophyll. This gives it an upper hand when it comes to the removal of toxins from the blood. Yet on the face of it, a higher concentration of chlorophyll enables the powder to boost the immune system of the body. When the powder is harvested straight from bodies of waters, the concentration of bio iron is high. Bio iron is very essential especially for pregnant women. It reduces the high risk of constipation and anemia. According to researches and studies carried out by professionals, Spirulina is a great source of many essential nutrients that are necessary for a healthy body.
Apart from Vitamin C, the powder can supply the body with Vitamin B-1, B-3, B-6, vitamin A and vitamin E. On the other hand, it is equally a good source of minerals such as chromium, iron, potassium and calcium. The high concentration of calcium makes it ideal for children, expectant mothers and the elderly. There are also other studies that have linked it with the ability to cure allergic reactions.
Phosphorous is a very essential mineral that is readily available in Spirulina. This is a clear indication that it can strengthen the teeth. There is also emerging evidence that has proved the effectiveness of this powder in radiation therapy or radioactivity exposure.
People who are making huge strides to burn fats or cut weight can also benefit from Spirulina. It has the necessary ingredients which help to speed up fat burning during exercise. The best Spirulina is the organic type because the other types are known to contain additives or nitrate compounds.
This powder is increasingly becoming one of the best ways to improve the overall health of the body as well as the immune system.

I am pleased to report that the Rutgers Board of Governors has named Dr. G. Alan Tarr as a Board of Governors Professor of Political Science during yesterday’s regularly scheduled meeting.
This is a signature career achievement for Alan, and a point of pride for our campus. Alan’s expertise in the area of the development of democratic constitutions is respected globally. He has presented his insights to state Supreme Courts and legislatures across our nation and, under the auspices of such organizations as the U.S. Department of State, around the world. He has promoted the growth of democracy worldwide by advising governments transitioning to democratic rule, including South Africa, Myanmar, and Russia.
His work has appeared in prominent legal and scholarly journals, as well as in multiple books. He has edited or co-edited such volumes as State Constitutions for the Twenty-First Century, as well as the 50-volume State Constitutions of the United States published by Oxford University Press. He has co-authored the highly utilized textbooks American Constitutional Law: Cases and Interpretations and Judicial Process and Judicial Policymaking.
Along with Prof. Robert Williams (professor II, CLAW), Alan created the Center for State Constitutional Studies as one of the earliest research centers at Rutgers–Camden. He has contributed greatly toward the impressive reputation of our campus thanks to the collaborative, multidisciplinary work of that center.
Alan’s recognition as a leading authority in his field has commanded grant funding from such highly competitive entities as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. He is honored this year as a Fellow in the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University and is a past recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship for Research.
Perhaps of greatest significance are the many alumni, students, and colleagues who know Alan as a thoughtful teacher and supportive mentor. The profound impact of Alan’s teaching has transformed many lives, and we look forward to continuing that tradition.
Please join me in offering our warmest congratulations to Alan Tarr on this richly deserved accomplishment.
Wendell E. Pritchett, J.D., Ph.D.

My husband was out of town for a couple of days this week. When he is gone I am like a wild woman rushing from one crafting thing to the next.
First I had the great fleece washing that Lou Ann helped me with, then at the same time we timed how long it took to put on our Inkle loom class project.
Then, well, really at the same time, I had every wheel I own out in the family room. I am in the process of dedicating each wheel to a specific project. I have a 5 wheels, and only the great wheel is unusable right now. Here is what I came up with.
The Ashford Traditional will take over the Romney fleece that I have been working on. I can still get 2 oz on a small Ashford bobbin, and ply onto the bigger Louet bobbin. The little treadle Spindle Wheel is going to be dedicated to spinning cotton, that I have finally figured it out. It spins cotton so well I am thinking about selling my takhili spindle, and my Spindolyn. The Electric Spinner I am going to use to spin up the silk hankies I have. I want to try my hand at making tassels, and I thought silk would make beautiful Tassels. The Louet S-10 will be spinning up all that flax I was given a couple of weeks ago. Over 4 pounds of it! I chose this wheel because it has a distaff.
Here she is all loaded up and in action. The distaff is good for holding a large amount of flax, so that I have both of my hands free to draft the fibers. I have run into a couple of problems however with the placement of this distaff in relation to the orifice. You see, they are too close together! The flax has, on occasion, tried to join the already spun linen as it is making it's way to the bobbin. That just makes a mess!
Another problem I have run into is that the spun flax has to make a u-turn in my right hand and go back to the wheel. This is will quickly give me very sore fingers! I pondered on this problem for several days. I did a search on free standing distaffs as well as the hand supported ones, I wanted to see what they looked like. I knew I wanted my hands to be free so the hand supported were not what I was looking for. They are mainly used with a Hand Spindle. I started thinking that I could possible add a stand to this distaff. I even went to a couple of the hardware stores looking for ideas. I finally decided that I didn't want to spend any money on it right now so that I would have to come up with something with what I had at home. You won't believe what I came up with!
I have several small G-clamps in the studio that have come in handy more than once. I carefully clamped the existing distaff to the rocking chair that I like to sit in when I spin.
I now have a much improved pathway to the bobbin. The flax is far enough away to not mix with the spun linen and it is a straight shot from distaff to orifice. No extra wear and tear on my hands.
I am going to spin enough to weave some cloth. I have been thinking about a couple of products I Could make with it. I could make spinning lap cloths to sell to spinners or fabric to sell to re-enactors, for their garments. We will see, it will be awhile before I have anything to show for it!
There is a ton of other stuff going on, I will post more later this week,
Until next time, Happy Weaving, Tina

One day, Pat was walking around his neighborhood when he saw something strange out of the corner of his eye. It was Brently, peeking through the window of Pat's house.
Pat was scared and confused as to why Brently would be spying on him. He cautiously approached the window and watched as Brently quickly darted away from view.
Pat decided to confront Brently and find out what was going on. He ran after him, but no matter how fast he went, he couldn't catch up to him.
Finally, he confronted Brently in an alleyway near his house and demanded to know why he had been sneaking around his home all this time.
Brently then revealed that he had been secretly following Pat for weeks out of a bizarre obsession with him. He had even gone so far as to hack into Pat's security cameras in order to watch him without his knowledge or consent!
Shocked and scared, Pat tried to run away from Brently but the obsessed man chased after him.
Seeing no way out, Pat decided to turn around and face his pursuer head-on in order to protect himself from harm's way - whatever it might be!
As they stood there facing each other, Brently's true nature became more clear than ever before - it was unsettling for Pat who barely knew the man yet already felt scared by his unnatural fixation with him .

Don't look now, but there may be a winner for the longest-lasting modern garage rock band, and it's a bit of a shock. Apparently, things made in Sweden just last longer.
The Hives rode in on the same garage rock revival wave as The White Stripes, The Strokes and The Vines. However, unlike the other groups of the movement, The Hives never made the mistake of taking themselves too seriously.
From crediting all songwriting to a potentially made-up manager (Randy Fitzsimmons) to dressing alike and putting their roadies in ninja outfits, nothing about The Hives comes off as pretentious, an image many artists struggle with their entire careers (Hi, Strokes).
Forming way back in 1993, The Hives are the only group to have made it to see 2012 in one piece, as the band will premiere their self-released album (their fifth in all) Lex Hives on June 5. The album's first single, “Go Right Ahead,” has already been making the Internet rounds.
The group has stuck to a formula for success that hasn't proven wrong: Keep the songs short yet catchy as hell and play every live show like it's your last. Pairing this mindset with an incredible work ethic and a sense of humor has made The Hives one of the most respected and adored live acts around.
It remains to be seen how much The Hives have deviated from their successful formula, but the odds are that Lex Hives will have endearing and slightly skewed songs that still manage to turn the dial to 11.
Guitarist Chris Dangerous recently told Spin that The Hives early on were “convinced we were better than everyone else. And so when we became as popular as we did, it made complete sense to us."
If Lex Hives can deliver the goods, there will be few people inclined to argue with him.

[jcifs] NTLM and JCIFS: architecture/protocols
alastair.j.green at hotmail.co.uk
Thu Feb 15 17:39:48 GMT 2007
After a lot of reading I'm still puzzling over a question about the
architecture of the NTLM protocol(s).
Let me lay out my understanding and questions, and then someone can correct
NTLM is a challenge-response protocol supported by AD, whose client side is
A Windows machine can run NTLM against an AD DC by using the NTLMSSP
(possibly through many levels of indirection in terms of the piled APIs MSFT
If this happens then AD will compare the NTLM hashed version of the u/p pair
with its own records and authorize or otherwise accordingly.
HTTP NTLM Authentication is a variant of the NTLM protocol, where the
challenge response messages are a) Base64 encoded, and b) passed in HTTP
headers, and c) replace standard HTTP authentication exchanges like Basic
Auth and Digest Auth.
When using NTLM/HTTP the web server end has to decide, between receiving the
type 2 message-in-a-header and sending the type 3 message, whether the
hashed u/p pair is good or bad.
Question (if I am roughly right so far): by what means does the web server
establish the goodness or badness of the hashed auth data?
If the "web server" is the JCIFS HTTP Filter, does it (in classic mode,
prior to introduction of Kerberos checking) a) do a CIFS authentication
exchange, if such a thing exists, or b) run a non-HTTP version of NTLM (i.e.
act as a bridge between NTLM/HTTP and NTLM/proper) or c) something else?
If the JCIFS HTTP Filter is doing Kerberos authentication, does it still do
NTLM/HTTP between browser and Filter/WS, and merely use Kerberos as a
goodness establisher, or is there something slicker going on?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Mazdaaims to be BigM
Japanese cars sales are tipped to grow even more, writes Paul Gover
MAZDA could be Australia’s No.2 car brand by 2014 with annual sales of more than 100,000 vehicles.
Work has begun in a bid to boost supplies from Thailand with a $400 million upgrade of the company’s AutoAlliance joint-venture factory.
Thailand has become the Australian source for the baby Mazda2.
Mazda Australia managing director Doug Dickson says the Mazda2, Mazda3 and CX-7 are the powerhouse classes that will propel Mazda from its current 80,000 annual Australian sales to 100,000 by 2014.
He sees a general annual improvement in local sales of 1.5 per cent a year, but a 3.5 per cent growth of Japanese vehicles.
Thailand will build the nextgeneration BT-50 pick-up, the first total overhaul of the workhorse in 20 years, and it will become a key part of Mazda Australia’s showroom push.
Dickson, speaking at a window-on- the-future event in Europe, says the new BT-50 will appeal to a much greater audience and will introduce new drivetrains.
The BT-50, to be revealed at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney in October as a Ford and a Mazda, is the culmination of the T6 development program run at Ford Australia for the past four years. The vehicle is expected to go on sale here late next year.
Mazda will produce dual, single-cab and cab-chassis versions of the new car-like BT-50. Ford is expected to use the driveline and chassis to produce its Courier and Ranger.
Ford also plans a four-door wagon based on the T6 chassis, similar to the Mitsubishi Triton-based Challenger.
However, Dickson says there are no plans for Mazda to follow the SUV move, though the company may have a smaller wagon or SUV to slot under the CX-7 and replace the Tribute.
This will be several years away and is likely to be the CX-5 and could be Mazda’s interpretation of the Ford Kuga SUV, which is also expected to be built in Thailand from about 2012.
Ready to expand: Mazda is gearing up for a boom in sales in the next few years as imports increase from Thailand.

Depositional areas of waterbodies—including lakes and low gradient, slow-moving sections of rivers—can accumulate sediments over time. Monitoring the chemical content and physical composition of these sediments provides information on how the environment is changing and the natural or human factors that may be linked to environmental change. Sediment quality is an important aspect of aquatic ecosystems, as it can influence the quality of overlying waters and also supports the benthic community. Sediment quality is monitored by RAMP in conjunction with the Benthic Invertebrate component to provide supporting data for interpretation of benthic invertebrate monitoring results.
The objectives of the RAMP Sediment Quality component are to:
- Collect data to characterize the natural variability of sediments in the Athabasca oil sands region, assess predictions documented in EIAs, and meet monitoring requirements of regulatory approvals.
- Provide supporting information to facilitate interpretation of data from other RAMP components, including Benthic Invertebrates, Climate and Hydrology, and Fish.
- Identify potential changes in sediment quality that may be indicative of environmental change and chemical inputs from point or non-point sources.
Sediment samples are collected in the fall from the most downstream sampling location in each depositional river reach sampled for benthic invertebrates, and from each of the lakes and wetlands sampled for benthic invertebrates. Sediment samples are submitted to analytical laboratories for analysis of the following variables:
- Physical variables—% sand, silt, and clay.
- Carbon content—total inorganic carbon, total organic carbon, total carbon.
- Organics—BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylene, xylene), hydrocarbons by size class (CCME 4-fraction total hydrocarbons; C6-C10, C10-C16, C16-C34, and C34-C50), total hydrocarbons.
- Total metals.
- Target Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).
- Alkylated PAHs.
- Toxicity—survival and growth of the amphipod Hyalella azteca and survival and growth of Chironomus tentans midge larvae.
For a complete list of metals and PAHs analyzed, please refer to the relevant section of the RAMP Technical Design and Rationale report and the annual RAMP technical reports (see Monitoring Results).
The analysis of sediment quality data focuses on key measurement endpoints (i.e., specific sediment quality variables) that have been identified as significant by oil sands EIAs, of special concern or interest in the oil sands region, or of significance to other RAMP components. The key measurement endpoints include:
- Particle size distribution (clay, silt and sand): sediment particle size is an indicator of depositional habitat, and an important factor affecting organic chemical sorption;
- Total organic carbon: an indicator of organic matter in sediment, including hydrocarbons;
- Total hydrocarbons (CCME fractions): indicators of the total hydrocarbon content of sediments, with each indicator (fraction) capturing hydrocarbon compounds of different molecular weights (specifically, number of carbon atoms);
- PAH measurement endpoints: including total low- and high-molecular weight PAHs, total PAHs, naphthalene, total dibenzothiophenes, retene, and predicted PAH toxicity, to provide an indication of PAH content, potential toxicity, and potential sources of PAHs;
- Total arsenic and other metals: arsenic is a metal of concern to some stakeholders, while other metals may exceed guidelines established for the protection of aquatic life;
- Sublethal toxicity: sublethal toxic effects of sediment on the survival and growth of the amphiphod (seed-shrimp) Hyalella azteca or the midge Chironomus tentans.
Sediment quality is assessed by comparing measured results to historical, pre-development, and regional baseline values to identify any changes that have occurred and to identify stations with sediment quality that is outside the range of natural variability. The relationship between sediment quality and benthic invertebrate measurement endpoints is assessed using statistical correlation analysis to identify those habitat features that consistently affect benthic invertebrate community composition.

The Douglas County Dental Clinic is searching for new leadership after its director submitted his resignation.
Jason Wesco, who has directed the clinic for two years, will leave March 15 to become director of community development for the Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved in Topeka.
"This is a great job and a great place to work," Wesco said of the clinic. "I wasn't looking for the new job, but it came looking for me. It's definitely going to be difficult to leave."
Wesco was the second full-time director for the clinic, which began seeing patients in 2000. It currently is at 4920 Bob Billings Parkway, where two full-time dentists and a part-time dentist see the uninsured.
During Wesco's tenure, the clinic has doubled its annual budget to around $500,000, gained United Way agency status, increased the number of patients seen from 2,600 to 5,000 a year and increased staff from five to 12.
"I don't think we're seeing the end of that need," Wesco said. "I think the community is still growing, and it's not just people moving here who have money. I don't see the population growth stopping, and we'll always have more people here who are eligible."
Karen Shumate, president of the clinic's board of directors, said possible replacements were already being considered.
"He leaves big shoes to fill," she said. "His passion kind of rubs off on everybody. He has a personal mission to help the needy."
Wesco said the real credit for the clinic's success went to those who worked for years to make it a reality.
"They just had the idea in 1998, with no money and nothing but good intentions," he said. "You take a group of people with a good idea and six years down the road and you're bursting at the seams. It says good things about the community."

Xcelis LLC, an affiliate of Empire IP LLC, has filed suit against Panasonic (2:17-cv-02463), accusing the company of infringement through provision of its Link2Cell phones. The patent-at-issue is generally related to a communications system set up to place either a landline or wireless call. The new case follows on the heels of a dismissal with prejudice in Xcelis’s first case in the campaign, filed against Plantronics in April and ending on September 19.
In a case before District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, an NPE has filed an opposition to several motions to dismiss arguing that a domestic corporation might be deemed to reside outside of its state of incorporation despite this past May’s TC Heartland decision. In TC Heartland, the US Supreme Court held that 1988 revisions to the general venue statute did not change (as the Federal Circuit had ruled) the previously understood residence of a domestic corporation for venue purposes: such a defendant “resides” only in the state in which it was incorporated. District courts have been grappling with the implications of this return to the earlier understanding of venue in patent cases in the weeks since TC Heartland was handed down. Script Security Solutions LLC, an affiliate of patent monetization firm Empire IP LLC, has now urged Judge Gilstrap to treat venue in Texas, a large state with multiple judicial districts, under a different portion of the general venue statute than was considered in TC Heartland, a decision involving a case brought in the small, single-district state of Delaware.

High resolution X-ray diffraction; III-V; Ion Implantation, Epitaxial relaxation.
- The research programs in my group focus on the relationship between structural and chemical irregularities in solid state electronic materials and the effect that these defects have on the performance of devices fabricated from these materials. We primarily collaborate with industrial and government laboratories to provide a synergistic effort to study these issues. In particular, we use non-destructive techniques to study the evolution of defects in these structures. One of the main characterizations techniques we employ is reciprocal space mapping through triple axis x-ray diffraction.
- Our primary efforts in heteroepitaxy include i) pseudomorphic high electron mobility and heterojunction bipolar transistors grown on GaAs and InP substrates for radar-based communications; this effort (III-V heterostructures) also addresses the role of substrate perfection on the structural quality of the subsequently grown layers and on device performance, ii) solar cells using III-V / Ge solar cells.
- Selective epitaxial growth offers a means to synthesize low dimensional structures which exhibit novel quantum confinement features. This is our newest effort – in collaboration with Prof. K.L. Wang in the Electrical Engineering Department at UCLA – which focuses on gas source molecular beam epitaxy of silicon-germanium-carbon heterostructures.
- We are studying the growth of ternary InxGa1-xAs and CdxZn1-xTe bulk substrates to improve material quality and compositional uniformity. These substrates aim to provide a growth template with a different lattice parameter than can be achieved with binary compounds. Along with .. CdxZn1-xTe, we are studying HgI2 and GaAs as x-ray and gamma-ray detectors. Also, we have collaborations in relaxed graded buffer layers as an alternative means to tailor the lattice parameter of the surface of such structures.
- Ion implantation represents a key technology for III-V device processing. Our present research focuses on residual damage and dopant activation of carbon-implanted GaAs for p-type conduction and silicon-implanted GaAs for n-type

Africa is surrounded on all sides by water – the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea & Atlantic Ocean, it has a coastline stretching for over 30,000 kilometres, and is home to some monumental rivers such as the Zambezi, Congo & Nile, all of which makes it one of the best destinations for a fishing safari. Travellers staying at a traditional safari lodge are often offered the opportunity to enjoy a few hours fishing safari as part of their stay, but the keen angler can take things further and dedicate their holiday to all things fish.
A fishing holiday in Africa offers a wide variety of opportunities for the angler from popper, jig & big game fishing, to shore or saltwater fly fishing.
With such a wide range of habitats and environments, the angler has quite the choice of destinations to choose from when considering a fishing holiday to Africa.
Madagascar, and in particular the waters around the island of Nosy Be, are a mecca for saltwater anglers. The warm water channel found there is home to large numbers of reef and pelagic fish, including grouper, sailfish, king mackerel and dogtooth tuna, with popper and jig fishing the most popular methods of fishing enjoyed.
Across in East Africa, Tanzania may be most famous for its onshore safari delights, but its waters offer some spectacular big game fishing. Barracuda, dorado, sailfish and marlin are all popular catches, but the fanatical angler on an African fishing holiday will surely want to try to tame the challenge of the renowned fighting Tiger Fish, which are found in their greatest numbers in Tanzania.
Namibia is blessed with a vast coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, so harsh that it is known locally as the Skeleton Coast. These dramatic waters play host to a wonderfully rich marine life, with special mention to be made of the enormous Bronze Whaler Sharks. The area is home to the world’s largest population of these giants with shore fishing a popular way to wrestle with these mammoth creatures.
Whilst Mozambique is very much a new-kid-on-the-fishing-block, its Indian Ocean waters are home to phenomenal shore fishing and big game fishing, as well as perfect surf fishing. The big, big game target is marlin, with the shore angler invariably aiming to land barracuda, kingfish, pompano, king mackerel & ray. The non-angler can simply relax on some of the world’s finest beaches.
Those wanting to fish for just a few hours on their safari holiday can enjoy the sport at the Victoria Falls as well as in the Chobe area, where the legendary tigerfish lies in wait.
Moving further south, South Africa remains one of the leading destinations in which to enjoy an African fishing holiday. The expansive coastline borders the Atlantic & Indian Oceans, and indeed where the waters meet the renowned annual Sardine Run offers the opportunity for a truly once-in-a-lifetime African fishing safari. Elsewhere the tuna is king offshore, with various species of shark the main attractions for shore fishing.
Last but by no means least, is the most famous of all fish, and of all rivers – the tiger fish and the Zambezi River. Pound-for-pound, tiger fish are one of the strongest fighters, renowned for their strength, aggression & speed, and a Zambezi tiger fishing holiday is the ultimate for many travelling anglers.
The mighty Zambezi River, which flows for 1600 miles from Zambia through Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia & Mozambique until it reaches the Indian Ocean, is now the number one destination for tiger fishing holidays. In fishing terms, the river can be separated into the Upper, Middle & Lower Zambezi, with each section offering something different.
The type of fishing for tiger fish varies with the time of year, and it can include fly, lure and bait, with a Zambezi tiger fishing holiday possible year-round. Aside from the attractions of viewing wildlife on safari along the stretches of the river in Zambia and Zimbabwe, a tiger fishing trip can also include visits to the majestic Victoria Falls and to the extraordinary man-made Lake Kariba, where dam fishing is possible from the Kariba Dam. Fly fishing for tiger fish can be very hard work – early starts followed by hours spent perched on the front of a drifting boat casting heavily-weighted rods – but the rewards more than make up for the effort.
Wherever you’re planning to visit for your fishing safari, Africa Travel will make sure you stay in comfortable and luxurious accommodation that is tailored to your requirements. Our dedicated staff listen to each of your needs and preferences before recommending the best accommodation for you, which is always based on their own personal experiences.

Nancy and her husband raised three daughters in Northern Indiana before discovering and moving to the Island of Matlacha, Florida. This became her own “On Golden Pond” paradise for twenty years before moving to “The Little House on the Prairie” in the far North West corner of Cape Coral. Her daughters and their families all relocated nearby, filling her home with love and laughter.
Her work has appeared in the Gary Post Tribune, The Fort Myers-Cape Coral News-Press, Writers Currents, books published by The Pine Island Writers, and an Anthology by Peace River Center for Writers. She enjoys writing short stories and poems about nature, the island, aging, and also children’s stories and poems. Much of her work is peppered with humor. When she is not writing she is usually sketching, painting, boating or biking. She has been a member of Pine Island Writers since 2005.
Nancy has had the honor of reading her work in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, and several venues on Pine Island over the years. In 2015 she won first place at Gulf Coast Writers Association’s contest for children’s stories with “Tommy The Leaf,” and again in 2019 for “Oliver Goes Exploring,” and third place in 2020 for “The Picnic.” All are available at the Amazon link below.


Each knife from Jordan’s Blades is hand forged and meticulously assembled to create a handsome, durable product. To create a knife, I start with a flat bar of high carbon steel. I forge the taper to the tip of the blade first, and then forge a distal taper, which enables greater flexibility and strength in the knife. The edges are then packed to create the bevel and refine the grain structure in the steel for better edge holding capacity. I then turn the blade around, cut it off of the parent stock and draw out the tang. All forging is done with a hand hammer. There are no power tools involved in this step, only human muscle, as has been done for thousands of years.
At this point, the blade is ready for the rough grinding. On a belt grinder, I refine the outline of the knife and grind the bevels closer to their final shape.
After the rough grinding, I cut either brass or stainless steel bar stock to length for the fittings. To make the quillon, I drill a hole to admit the tang and open up the hole with a small, square file, to admit the wide base of the tang. To make the end cap, I drill a hole of the right size to fit the thread of the tang, and thread the inside of that hole so that it will screw on to the handle.
The handle is next. Handles for my knives are made primarily from wood grown on my farm that I harvest myself. I split out a section of a tree and make it roughly square with a drawknife. Then, I put it in a vice and drill a hole through the length of it to admit the tang. To ensure a very close fit with the tang, I heat up the end of the tang in the forge and burn the tang into the hole in the handle. The hole in the handle takes the exact shape of the tang and will fit snugly.
After the handle and fittings are made, I carefully harden the knife in oil, and stress relieve the blade to make it tougher by heating it in an oven.
The blade is then ground again, but this time to its exact final shape, and is ground very smooth using a fine grit sanding belt. The knife is then assembled with epoxy so that it will endure significant use without the fittings coming loose. The handle is then shaped using the belt grinder, and sanded to a fine grit.
To finish the knife, I give the handle a coat of tung oil followed by a coat of paste wax. This finish is water proof and shiny, and will stand up to years of use. I then sharpen the edge using a whetstone and an Arkansas oil stone.
A leather sheath protects the blade and facilitates carrying it on your belt. I make knife sheaths out of quality vegetable tanned cow hide stitched and riveted together. They are finished with a liberal coat of neats foot oil. Sheaths made in this way are simple, but strong and will protect the knife well in almost any environment you encounter.
The careful craftsmanship that creates a knife from Jordan’s Blades speaks to the quality of the product. A hand crafted knife is a joy to use. May yours serve you well on many an adventure.

Veteran American character actor Tony Longo has passed away aged 53, his manager Susan Ferris has announced.
Born in New Jersey in 1961, Longo enjoyed a career spanning over thirty years; moving out to Los Angeles back in the early 1980’s he landed a recurring role on the hit TV series Alice, and films such as Sixteen Candles, Splash and Fletch. He was later cast in NBC’s Hell Town and the hit comedy movies Police Academy and Shakey Ground. Over the years Longo has been seen in some of Hollywood’s major TV shows and motion pictures alongside the likes of Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout, Matthew McConaughey in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive.
“When the team at Bohemia met with Tony they instantly feel in love with his natural charm and charisma, but also each of the managers had their own special memories of Tony’s performances from his vast career,” said Ferris. “Working with Tony and being a part of getting things rolling has been great. He had the excitement and willingness to do anything. There is some comfort in knowing that he died peacefully in his sleep. Hollywood has lost a great actor.”
