Bella Sky Comwell — Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen’s skyline has an impressive new addition in the jagged shape of Bella Sky Comwell. The two towers were created by local practice 3XN Architects and are marked by a triangular-patterned façade designed to insulate solar heat and maximise energy efficiency. The two volumes lean away from each other to allow for the best views. Bella Sky might be a big hotel to furnish - it is the largest in the Nordic region, with 814 rooms - but the owners haven’t scrimped on quality. Spread through the hotel is furniture by the likes of Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl and Hay, while bathrobes and slippers are by Danish fashion designer Camilla Staerk.

“Unification” is a beak-away release of the two-part episode from season five of The Next Generation. One of the fan favorites, the show features a guest appearance by Leonard Nimoy reprising his role as Spock in an adventure that finds him and a heavily made-up Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) on a high stakes mission to try to unify the Romulans and Vulcans.
While I question these ongoing, single-episode releases to Blu-ray, for the Star Trek completist not in the mood to repurchase the entire series on Blu-ray, or for those original series fans who just want to get their Spock fix, this is a fine episode indeed.
We get the same 1.33:1 AVC/MPEG-4 1080p encodement to Blu-ray for “Unification” as the entire Next Generation reissue series proper, and just as the series looks basically fantastic, with its HD restoration and newly restored visual effects, so to does this break-away 2-part episode release. It’s film-like, detailed and textured with wonderful contrast.
You can watch with the new English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 (48kHz/24-bit) remix, that sounds great, will engulf you in the bleeps and blurps of the Enterprise, and boom when there is some activity, or you can watch with the somewhat narrow, and more forward sounding original stereo mix in Dolby Digital 2.0. A few dubs are also included in German, French and Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0.
We get the typical sort of extras for a Star Trek release, including an episode commentary and episodic promos.
- Commentary by Jeri Taylor and Mike & Denise Okuda
- From One Generation to the Next: The Making of Unification (1080p/24; 00:16:43)
- Episodic Promos (SD)
- Part 1
- Part 2
- Deleted Scene (1.33:1; 1080p/24; 00:01:43)
The Definitive Word
One of the most highly rated episodes in the run of The Next Generation, garnering over 25 millions viewers when it initially aired, this two-part arc that brought Spock to the series is now available as a stand-alone release for Trekkies and/or Trekkers everywhere. The Blu-ray restoration is superb in both its audio and visual aspects, so, if you don’t have the complete fifth season and want a taste, this is the one for you.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Mar.18
By Ilhama Isabalayeva – Trend:
As many as two-thirds of the Azerbaijani population must develop antibodies in order to form mass immunity to COVID-19, and so the vaccination process should be accelerated, Head of the Working Group on Infectious Diseases under the Azerbaijani Management Union of Medical Territorial Units (TABIB) Vasif Aliyev told Trend on Mar.18.
Aliyev called on the citizens of Azerbaijan to be vaccinated in a timely manner to protect themselves from the virus.
“Problems with vaccines have always existed, just like people who didn’t want to have their children vaccinated against various diseases, believing that this would cause paralysis or other negative consequences. However, vaccines have more benefits than the possibility of side effects,” he added.

Hawaiian bone carving jewelry is one of the most significant and symbolic forms of traditional art in Hawaii. The art of bone carving has been practiced by the Hawaiians for centuries, with the first known examples dating back to the 18th century.

When you walk in to Leonardo Drew’s large scale exhibition in Chelsea, it takes a while for your brain to compute the enormity of the site specific installation. The behemoth charred wood sculpture that greets you when you enter, snakes its way through the vast gallery all the way to the back room. Juxtaposed on the walls are glorious sculptures made of clean, carefully put together wood, a mighty contrast to the central sculpture.
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Leonardo Drew bases his abstract sculptures on historical evidence, seeing them as emotionally charged reflections on the cyclical nature of existence.Leonardo Drew.

DEAF HAVANA All These Countless Nights LP Vinyl NEW 2017
- Ashes, Ashes
- Like a Ghost
- Pretty Low
- St. Paul's
- Pensacola, 2013
James Veck-Gilodi is contemplating the differences between All These Countless Nights, the imminent new album from Deaf Havana, and the previous records by this most-treasured of UK rock bands.
There’s much to consider. There’s the expansion of the band’s sound, of course, which sees them create the most eclectic, envelope-pushing album of their 11-year career. And there’s the renewed confidence in his own creative ability that saw Veck-Gilodi reject his former, rigorously self-imposed songwriting rules in favour of a freewheeling, anything-goes approach. But the most crucial difference concerns James himself. Because, if previous Deaf Havana albums have been preoccupied with the person he used to be, All These Countless Nights is all about who he actually is. And the end result is Deaf Havana’s most brutally honest and bruisingly emotional album yet.
Lead single Sing takes all of Deaf Havana’s traditional qualities – soaring melodies, witty lyrics, an uncanny ability to make an emotional connection with rock’s heartland audience – and bolts on an absolute monster of a riff to create the heaviest Deaf Havana song ever. Beautiful acoustic ballad Happiness, meanwhile, is “the saddest and most honest” song Veck-Gilodi’s ever written. Seething alt-rocker Trigger examines a volatile previous relationship with forensic candour; the contemplative Seattle is a love song to faraway England, and the brooding L.O.V.E infuses one lust-fuelled on-the-road encounter with guilt rather than bravado.

The new design is true to the TimelineX look most users are accustomed to, but some elements have changed.

The quality of the synthetic material used for the notebooks is enhanced by the matt case surface, and the Acer Aspire 5830G Atheros LAN display cover underlines the "Premium" aspiration of the new models.
Fingerprints, dust, and scratches do not stand a chance on most of the case; only the shiny display border falls Acer Aspire 5830G Atheros LAN to these annoyances, and seems to have been taken directly from the predecessor TG.

While the cryptocurrency market is back in red, it is just the right time to think about buying the dips. However, if you are not keen on investing in the most popular cryptocurrency, maybe it can be useful to take a look at other digital currencies. Today, we discuss in details the comparison – Litecoin Vs Bitcoin.
CryptoToday – Back in 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto has launched Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency did not gain the immediate popularity. Today, Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency when it comes to the digital currency market capitalization share. It enjoys the biggest market capitalization, with the current figure being $168,820,756,060.
Aside from the pioneer cryptocurrency, there are more than a thousand of other altcoins. Some of them are very strong and popular, such as Ethereum and Litecoin, while others are quite unstable and still very young.
Litecoin Vs Bitcoin Comparison
Today, we want to concentrate our attention on understanding the key differences between Bitcoin and Litecoin. Many call Litecoin the smaller brother of Bitcoin due to the number of similarities between these two cryptocurrencies.
Litecoin was created in 2011 as a project with the aim to be the silver to Bitcoin’s gold. However, they are not completely the same. So, what are the differences between Litecoin and Bitcoin? Let’s discuss.
Litecoin vs Bitcoin: Mining differences
Yes, just like in case with Bitcoin mining, users can also mine Litecoin. The creator of Litecoin, a former Google engineer Charles Lee wanted to improve upon Bitcoin via his innovation.
The key difference between Litecoin and Bitcoin in terms of mining is the time that the network takes to generate one block. Within Litecoin network, the entire process takes around 2.5 minutes, while the creation of a single Bitcoin block takes 10 minutes in total.
In addition, for miners, Litecoin is different from Bitcoin in another important aspect – it is a different proof-of-work algorithm. Bitcoin utilizes the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, which implies that calculations can be accelerated in parallel processing.
Litecoin, on the other hand, is using the scrypt algorithm. This algorithm actually incorporates the SHA-256 algorithm, but the calculations are more serialized in comparison to Bitcoin’s system.
As of the moment of writing, the difference in the hashing rate of Bitcoin vs Litecoin is as follows:
- The total hashing rate of the Bitcoin network is approximately at 28,004.94 PH/s
- Litecoin‘s hash rate stands at 178.16 TH/s.
Litecoin Vs Bitcoin: Transaction differences
The key transaction difference between Litecoin and Bitcoin lies in the speed of transactions. The Litecoin network can confirm transactions much faster than that of Bitcoin. There are some implications that have a connection to this difference.
Litecoin network is capable of handling a higher volume of transactions due to the ability to generate blocks faster. In case Bitcoin’s speed of block creation was to match that of Litecoin’s, this would require some significant updates to Bitcoin’s code.
One of the advantages that come with the faster block time of Litecoin is the decrease of the risk of double spending attacks. In fact, the transaction and confirmation speed are the key points of arguments when it comes to Bitcoin.
Litecoin Vs Bitcoin: Total Supply of Coins
Another important difference between Litecoin and Bitcoin is the total supply of the coins ever produced. The Bitcoin network’s supply figure stands at 21 million coins, while Litecoin network can never exceed 84 million coins.
Some might think that the fact that Litecoin’s coin supply is biggest is advantageous for this cryptocurrency. However, it is not exactly true. This is because both Bitcoin and Litecoin can be broken down to almost infinitesimal amounts.
Therefore, users of either digital currency should not encounter any difficulties while making purchases, regardless of how high the price of the single coin might become.
Do you have any questions? Do not hesitate to ask them in the comments section below.

Here are some of the reactions when the two sides reached the long-awaited deal:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: ‘Today we have also resolved an issue that has plagued our politics for decades and it is up to us, all together, as a newly and truly independent nation, to realize the immensity of this moment and to ensure that the greatest part. “
Referring to the EU, he said: “We will be your friend, your ally, your supporter and, indeed, let us never forget, your number one market.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she expected Germany to be able to quickly decide whether or not to support the deal.
“The federal government will now take a close look at the text of the agreement. But we are not starting from scratch. The Commission has kept Member States informed throughout the negotiating process, ”she said.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the united and firm stance taken by Europe had paid off.
“The unity and strength of Europe have borne fruit. The agreement with the United Kingdom is essential to protect our citizens, our fishermen, our producers. We will make sure that is the case, ”Macron said on Twitter.
“Europe is moving forward and can look to the future, united, sovereign and with strength.”
“Very welcome news that the UK and the EU have come to an agreement on the terms of a deal – a deal that gives business confidence and helps keep trade flowing. Looking forward to seeing the details in the coming days, ”former British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Twitter.
Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Madrid and London will continue to negotiate an agreement on British territory of Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula.
“I welcome the principle of agreement between the EU and the UK … Spain and the UK are continuing their dialogue to reach an agreement on Gibraltar,” Sanchez said in a tweet.
Alexandre De Croo
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said: “In the end, there is only one thing that matters to me: to ensure the best possible protection of Belgium’s economic interests. We must protect our Belgian companies from unfair British competition.
“With this agreement, we can leave behind the intense discussions of the past four years. We can now work to build a new strong relationship with the UK, which has always been a historic partner of our country. Now is the time to look to the future. “
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney told Newstalk Radio: “Today we are finally confident that there is a trade deal which I believe protects Ireland under the circumstances as well as we could have hoped.
Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok said in a statement that the Netherlands will “carefully study the draft texts”, in particular the level playing field agreements between the EU and the UK, l access of Dutch fishermen to UK waters and the governance of the agreement.
“There is very little time to do it. Before a decision is taken in Brussels, the government will send an initial assessment of the deal to parliament, so that it has the opportunity to discuss the deal, ”Blok said.
Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said: “We warmly welcome the agreement reached with the UK on relations with the EU from 1 January. The United Kingdom will remain, in addition to our neighbor and ally, an important partner. “
UK retail consortium
Helen Dickinson, Managing Director of the British Retail Consortium, welcomed the Brexit trade deal.
“After years of campaigning for zero-tariff trade, we welcome the announcement of a free trade agreement between the UK and the EU. This protects consumers on both sides of the Channel from billions in import duties on everyday goods. With four-fifths of UK food imports coming from the EU, today’s announcement should give UK households a collective sigh of relief, ”she said.
British Food and Drink Federation
Ian Wright, chief executive of the Food and Beverage Federation, complained about the delay in concluding the deal.
“The Prime Minister has promised British businesses more than a year of transition to adapt to a new set of rules. He delivered us four working days. Food and beverage manufacturers will do their best to keep food flowing, ”he said.
“However, this week’s chaos in Dover and the latest gasping for this deal means there will be major disruptions in supply and some prices will rise. Disappointed buyers and consumers alike will wonder why a deal has lasted so long. “

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
B lymphocyte development, selection, and homeostasis; immunobiology of aging.
The size and makeup of mature B cell compartments is controlled by the proportion of immature B cells that complete differentiation, coupled with the average lifespan of mature B cells. Determining the selective and homeostatic factors controlling these parameters is thus key to understanding how the B cell repertoire is established and maintained. Our previous work defined the developmental stages spanning immature B cell formation in the marrow and final maturation in the periphery. More recently, we have focused on the molecular basis for survival and differentiation within these developmental subsets, with emphasis on the role of BLyS and BLyS receptors. Through developmental and kinetic studies in normal and mutant mice, we have found that BLyS controls peripheral B cell numbers in two ways: by varying the proportion of cells that complete transitional B cell development, and by serving as the primary determinant of mature follicular B cell lifespan. Ongoing studies are aimed at determining the molecular and cellular mechanism of BLyS activity in these subsets, as well as how BLyS responsiveness is integrated with BCR signaling. Additionally, we have begun studies of how these selective and homeostatic processes change with age. Our results indicate that the size and dynamics of most B cell subsets shift with age, suggesting age-associated alterations in both intrinsic and microenvironmental factors that govern these processes.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
OSA afflicts 20 million adult men and women in North America. People who have OSA stop breathing repeatedly during sleep because the airway collapses. Airway collapse may be due to such factors as a large tongue, extra tissue in the airway, or decreased muscle tone holding the airway open. As a result, air is prevented from getting into the lungs. These pauses in breathing can happen 30 times or more per hour. When healthy sleep is interrupted in this way, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and other serious health conditions may increase.

Industrialization threatening wildlife in Arctic: UNEP.
Up to 80% of the Arctic will be affected by human activities by 2050 if industrialization in one of the world's last wildernesses continues at current rates, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) said Tuesday.
Scientists warn that the Arctic's rich and abundant wildlife will suffer greatly due to mining, oil and gas exploration, and the building of ports, roads and other developments, with birds and larger mammals at greatest risk, the agency said in a statement obtained in Nairobi.
''At the turn of this new millennium less than 15% of the Arctic's land was heavily impacted by human activity and infrastructure,'' said Klaus Toepfer, executive director of UNEP. ''However, if exploration for oil, gas and minerals, and developments such as hydroelectric schemes and timber extraction continue at current rates, more than half of the Arctic will be seriously threatened in less than 50 years,'' he said.
Officials said the findings, based on a pioneering new method of mapping the true extent of environmental impacts, were released Tuesday at a meeting held in Finland to mark 10 years of Arctic Environmental Cooperation.
''Our findings show that even with stable rates of industrial growth...an estimated 50% to 80% of the Arctic will reach critical levels of human-induced disturbance by 2050,'' said Svein Tveitdal of GRID-Arendal, UNEP's key Arctic center which compiled the new report.
According to the findings, 40% of the region's wildlife and ecosystems will be critically disturbed by 2050 if growth occurs at half the levels seen since 1940 and 1990. If infrastructure growth accelerates, doubling or increasing by 200% over the same period, 90% of the Arctic will suffer significant disturbance by 2050.
The study shows that Arctic roads quickly reduce the numbers of reindeer and caribou 5 kilometers from a highway, while the populations of predators such as wolves and bears are affected at 2 km from development and birds just 1 km.
''By 2050 we can foresee fewer migratory birds and mammals like Arctic foxes and reindeer but more gulls, red foxes and crows,'' said Dr. Christian Nellemann of the Norwegian Institute of Nature Research.
''Basically, humankind's interference in the delicate ecological balance of the Arctic will allow scavengers and marauders to take over the scene at the expense of more specialized birds and mammals, which will decline and even, in some cases, disappear,'' he said.

NEW DELHI -- Javed Akhtar's farewell speech in Rajya Sabha had quite a few knocks and punches for the Modi government and the Opposition over India's fair share of problems, but his stern message was delivered with grace and good humor.
The celebrated poet made only one exception.
Akhtar blasted Asaduddin Owaisi, a Lok Sabha lawmaker from Hyderabad, who recently said that he won't say "Bharat mata ki jai" even Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, puts a knife to his throat.
Owaisi also said that the Constitution did not require him to say "Bharat mata ki jai."
Mocking Owaisi for describing himself as a "national leader," Akhtar said, "The constitution doesn’t tell him to wear a sherwani and a topi."
"Saying 'Bharat mata ki jai' is not my duty, it my right and I say Bharat Mata ki jai, Bharat Mata ki jai, Bharat Mata ki jai," Akhtar said. "I condemn his remark and his idea in the strongest possible manner."
Akhtar said that he also detested another slogan: Musalman ke do sthaan: kabristan ya Pakistan (Muslims have two places: cemetery or Pakistan).
Akhtar, a noted lyricist and scriptwriter of the Indian film industry, concluded his six years in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
In his 15-minute speech, he talked about how India's potential is being curtailed by its political leaders, who are preoccupied with furthering their political agenda instead of advancing the interests of the country.
"Just stop caring about the next election and everything can be achieved," he said.
The poet, who received the Padma Bhushan in 2007, urged the Modi government to reign the "growing fringe," which is a threat to minorities and free speech in India.
Akhtar said that India was at the crossroads, where it would have to decide whether it wants to become like those countries where people tongues and cut out and they are executed for speaking their mind, or whether it would follow the example of those countries where films such as The Last Temptation of Christ are made without fear.
In a democracy, Akhtar said, the majority and a minority point of view can never be permanent. "There can be no democracy without secularism," he said.

The notion that bottled water is cleaner and safer than tap water is a fallacy. According to a new report released by Food and Water Watch, “Take Back the Tap,” 64 percent of bottled water is sourced from municipal water taps and is no healthier than tap water.
Unknowingly, American’s are paying $16 billion a year to drink water from a bottle that would otherwise be free, or cost a fraction of the price if U.S. household drank from their tap – “a gallon of bottled water costs $9.50” which is “nearly 2,000 times the price of tap water for municipal taxpayers,” according to EcoWatch.
“When bottlers are not selling municipal water, they are pumping and selling common water resources that belong to the public, harming the environment, and depleting community water supplies,” the study concluded.
The bottled water companies and lobbying groups for the industry have come up with a marketing scheme that promotes bottled water as safer, healthier and cleaner than tap water. But according to the report, this information is misleading. The study found that drinking water from the tap is more safe because municipal tap water is under scrutiny of the federal government, which places more requirements and safety monitoring that it does on company’s manufacturing bottled water.
The report pushes the government to pass the Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity, and Reliability (WATER) Act in order to “dedicate federal funds to renovate the nation’s public water infrastructure to ensure renewed public confidence in tap water, and avert a water affordability crisis,” according to EcoWatch.
“The WATER Act will simultaneously deliver water justice to the millions of people in the United States who lack access to safe water, while creating nearly a million jobs,” the report stated.

Proving himself as a chart-topper across the board, the album that garnered five of the eleven hit songs is his second straight record to reach Number 1 and be certified double platinum.
When Luke first heard his latest hit, he knew immediately it was a song that he wanted in his catalog and, specifically, on Crash My Party:
The first time I heard it, it was one of the first songs that I knew would be on Crash My Party. I listened to it, and it just floored me – the visuals of it, and obviously the fact that I grew up going to the beach – and the guys who wrote it, Michael Carter and Cole Swindell, have been in my life for years. The fact that they wrote something so spectacular made me excited. It’s one thing to record one of my buddies’ song, but when you feel like it’s going to be a great song and single, you’re very excited about that.
In an episode of Cole’s Swindell Vision, he discussed writing the song, explaining that the first lyric he wrote down was “she had a cross around her neck,” followed by “and a flower in her hair.” Cole called “Roller Coaster” a really special track for him and said how blessed he and Michael Carter are to have had Luke record it.
Congratulations to Luke on his latest hit, as well as to Cole and Michael on penning such a beautiful song that has resonated with country music fans everywhere. To hear more about the inspiration of “Roller Coaster,” watch the video below.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – The Iowa Giving Crew held its sixth annual Give Birds operation today, expanding to four cities in eastern Iowa this year and providing more than a thousand meals Thanksgiving Day to those in need.
While the Thanksgiving meal program started out as a prank, it has become a true holiday tradition.
“So in 2017, a friend of ours put this information on Craigslist, saying he was going to give away turkeys at Thanksgiving time,” said Nick Dusil, president of the Iowa Giving Crew. “And we raised enough money to provide meals that year, and then we’ve been growing ever since.”
Noah Hargrafen, who volunteers with the Iowa Giving Crew, said, “We used to do it in Newbo, and it wasn’t super big. You give out meals and we thought that was a good thing, but we had no idea it was going to become all this big stuff. Noah Hargrafen, a volunteer, said. “Now that it’s here, it’s, oh it’s so awesome.”
“These Thanksgiving meals are, you know, $70 to $80 each. A lot of people have contacted us and said they just don’t have the money to pay for the meal, or they barely pay for the fuel to come here to pick up the meal,” Dusil said. “We just try to help wherever we can, so these meals will go a long way.”
“It’s a very valuable service, it helps everyone, it helps a lot of people,” said Bruce German, a meal recipient.
“The community continues to support organizations that help fill the gaps, and our community is stronger when we all get involved together and make things happen,” Dusil said.
“I think everyone can do a little something to help their community,” Hargrafen said. “It doesn’t have to be that big, but everyone is capable of doing good and helping their community. And it’s definitely worth it if you do.

The title is absolute link bait, and a reference to a call I made on Twitter last night:
I absolutely hate sites like BuzzFeed. UpWorthy is growing ever closer to being on my personal do-not-click list as well. Just about all of their articles are some sort of top-10, top-20, or top-43 list that has absolutely zero impact on my life.
The "what happens next" articles are even worse offenders. They have all the makings of a stories with unexpected twists, but are merely devious attempts to trick readers into clicking through thanks to a half-hearted cliffhanger.
On the one hand, it's admirable to find new and inventive ways to draw readers.
On the other hand, if you need to resort to tricking readers into reading your articles, then I'd argue your content isn't of a high enough quality to deserve to be read.[ref]I recognize the irony of my using a similar title for this post. I'm trying to make a point - if you clicked through from Twitter, thank you. You might be interested in some of my other articles on WordPress as well. If you feel tricked into reading this article, I invite you to stay anyway and promise to never resort to such devious SEO-gaming techniques again.[/ref]
OK, so what happened?
Now that I've duped you into reading an article,[ref]I feel really dirty doing this. It won't happen again. Ever. Promise.[/ref] let me actually answer the cliffhanging question.
Last year, I opened a WordPress ticket proposing we deprecate the [cci]get_permalink()[/cci] template tag in favor of [cci]get_the_permalink()[/cci] for consistency among our template tags. My ticket was a bit selfish, as I've personally used [cci]get_the_[/cci] functions that don't exist more times than I can count.
Introducing [cci]get_the_permalink()[/cci] would cut down significantly on the number of typos I introduce to my own code. After talking to several other developers at WordCamps and meetups, it turns out I'm not the only one who makes this mistake.
There was an ongoing debate on the ticket, and eventually my patch was accepted - last month - and released as part of WordPress 3.9.
Was this unexpected? Yes and no. I never expected this particular patch to land in core, but I did expect the ongoing discussion on the idea. The WordPress community is an incredibly social and helpful one, so I never doubted we'd come together and actually discuss any proposed idea.
Even an idea not explicitly requested by members of the core team.
Do you have an unrequested patch lying around somewhere? Put it on Trac; you might be surprised by the response!

The purpose of urban development and planning is not only to provide serviced or un-serviced land for business of residential purposes and to provide necessary infrastructure (transport, water, electricity, communication), but it should also support social cohesion, innovation, creativity as well as business and employment opportunities. Instead of separating residential from businesses areas, which consequently results in increasing demands for transport services and infrastructure, these should be combined in mixed developments including residential (low to upper income), office and light manufacturing areas as well as public services such as education, health and civil registration and other amenities such as shops. Such a design would reduce the need for ever larger roads separating neighbourhoods and incentivise other forms of transport including non-motorised transport (walking, cycling). Furthermore, increasing the density of residential areas by building multi-storey flats will not only increase the efficient use of scarce serviced land, but will reduce construction costs and increase the viability of public transport since bus stops serve a larger number of potential passengers.
In addition, urban planning needs to create public spaces in neighbourhoods and city centres, where people from all walks of life can mingle. Beyond connecting people within neighbourhoods, public spaces can create new business opportunities. For instance, closing the Independence Avenue in Windhoek between the Hilton Hotel and the Kudu for traffic (only allowing access for delivery vans in the early morning hours and small municipality busses during the day) will not only reduce air and noise pollution – and would most likely increase the value of properties because the centre becomes even more attractive – but it could create opportunities for a number of income-generating activities and make the centre more lively: Musicians could play their music and sell their CDs, fashion designers can display their latest creations, acrobats can entertain the public and receive a token of appreciation, artists can sell their crafts and paintings and other vendors all kind of other things to locals and tourists. Moreover, the newly created space can attract specialised small shops, cafés, restaurants, etc. that all create jobs and generate income (and may be even generate tax revenue).
The same holds for the proposed (dry) river walk, promoted a few years ago that would run from the Goreangab Dam to the Avis Dam. It will not only connect very diverse communities and strengthen social cohesion, create space for out-door activities, but again provide income-generating opportunities like in the proposed pedestrian mall. A more innovative, creative and inclusive approach to urban development will ensure that we create sustainable cities in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 11 and create business opportunities.

The Union of Students in Ireland will launch the ‘Say Something’ card in R Block, IT Tralee at 1pm on Tuesday the 2nd February. The ‘Say Something’ card was developed by USI from research funded by Cosc and the Department of Justice and Equality. The research examined students’ experiences of sexual violence and harassment while in college and found that 16% of students experienced an unwanted sexual experience.
The survey was completed by 2,590 Irish students and 162 International Students. 11 per cent of the Women who responded noted that they had been subject to unwanted sexual contact. In addition to that, 5 per cent of Women recorded that they were the victims of rape and a further 3 per cent were victims of attempted rape. In over six in ten cases (61% for Women, 68% for Men) the perpetrator was believed to be under the influence of alcohol.
“We hope that these statistics will shed new light on the area of violence, including physical and sexual harassment.” Kevin Donoghue, President of the Union of Students in Ireland, said “We hope this card will be an aid to students who find themselves in the position where they’re victims of violence and don’t know what to do next. We want to reverse the culture of victim blaming in Ireland and instead of blaming the victim, we want to help, support and empower them.”
There were a large proportion of victims who did not report these incidents because they were ashamed or embarrassed (29 per cent); because they thought that they would be blamed for what happened (22 per cent); or because they did not want their parents or family to find out (21 per cent).
The card is designed to provide information for students should they find themselves in a situation where sexual violence or assault has occurred. 30,000 of the cards will be delivered to students’ unions across the country over the coming weeks.
“USI are delighted to launch the Say Something cards to raise awareness of the supports available to students who experience violence.” Annie Hoey, Deputy President of USI, said, “USI also trains Students’ Unions around these issues to equip them on how to best support students. The cards will have all the information a student needs after they’ve been sexually or physically assaulted and we hope to see an increase in the number of reported incidents. According to the DRCC only 1 in 10 rapes are reported. There are a lot of different reasons for this but we hope these cards will give students the information and support they need.”
Further Survey Results –
- 11 per cent of the Women who responded noted that they had been subject to unwanted sexual contact.
- In addition, 5 per cent of Women recorded that they were the victims of rape and a further 3 per cent were victims of attempted rape.
- A significantly lower proportion of Men reported similar experiences with less that 1 per cent reporting either rape or attempted rape.
- 16 per cent of students reported having experienced some form of unwanted sexual experience while in their current educational institution.
- Of these, 38 per cent of students reported that these unwanted sexual experiences had occurred on more than one occasion and 36 per cent noted that the unwanted sexual experience that they reported had occurred either ‘several times’ or ‘many times’.
- When asked for explanations of why they did not report matters to the Gardaí the two most frequent responses were (i) that they did not believe the incident was serious enough to report (57 per cent); and (ii) that they did not think that what happened was a crime (44 per cent)

Welcome to ZoneMinder,
the all-in-one Linux GPL’d security camera solution.
Most commercial “security systems” are designed as a monitoring system that also records. Recording quality can vary from bad to unusable, locating the relevant video can range from challenging to impractical, and exporting can often only be done with the manual present. ZoneMinder was designed primarily to record, and allow easy searches and exporting. Recordings are of the best possible quality, easy to filter and find, and simple to export using any system with a web browser. It also monitors.
ZoneMinder is designed around a series of independent components that only function when necessary limiting any wasted resource and maximising the efficiency of your machine. A fairly ancient Pentium II PC should be able to track one camera per device at up to 25 frames per second with this dropping by half approximately for each additional camera on the same device. Additional cameras on other devices do not interact so can maintain this frame rate. Even monitoring several cameras still will not overload the CPU as frame processing is designed to synchronise with capture and not stall it.debug2: channel 0: window 998895 sent adjust 49681 actually useful. As well as the fast video interface core it also comes with a userhat, friendly and comprehensive PHP based web interface allowing you to control and monitor your cameras from home, at work, on the road, or even a web enabled cell phone. It supports variable web capabilities based on available bandwidth. The web interface also allows you to view events that your cameras have captured and archive them or review them time and again, or delete the ones you no longer wish to keep. The web pages directly interact with the core daemons ensuring full co-operation at all times. ZoneMinder can even be installed as a system service ensuring it is right there if your computer has to reboot for any reason.
The core of ZoneMinder is the capture and analysis of images and there is a highly configurable set of parameters that allow you to ensure that you can eliminate false positives whilst ensuring that anything you don’t want to miss will be captured and saved. ZoneMinder allows you to define a set of ‘zones’ for each camera of varying sensitivity and functionality. This allows you to eliminate regions that you don’t wish to track or define areas that will alarm if various thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other zones.
