Now the developer apologizes for customer support fiasco
A US ham radio software developer has admitted a support staffer disabled a customer’s copy of its application after he posted a negative review online.
The owners of HRD Software today told The Register they have since reinstated the user’s license, claiming the revenge move was made by an outside support staffer.
Here’s what happened: a bloke called Jim Giercyk in Greenville, South Carolina, US, downloaded and installed an update for his Ham Radio Deluxe application. Next, the program inexplicably stopped working, so Giercyk contacted HRD’s support team for help.
Then, according to a log of the conversation between Giercyk and the support agent, the country rock musician was told his copy had been disabled remotely in response to a negative online review he had posted in September.
HRD Software later said Giercyk’s license key had been blackballed, causing the software to close while starting up: the updated program would phone headquarters to check the key and discover the license had been revoked, forcing it to terminate.
“I called the support line and asked them to explain what they were doing, and they informed me that I was blacklisted and the file they directed me to download blocked the software on my computer from running,” Giercyk, aka N2SUB, told fellow hams in a forum post….READ FULL POST

At work, the staff and I like to have a good time. We love to sing throughout the day. I will be the first to admit, I will probably never make it on the next American Idol, however, the benefits of singing to children with speech delays are so overwhelming and it makes singing silly songs that much better!
Rather it’s listening to songs electronically or verbally, studies have shown that children who listen to music have had improvements in auditory memory, vocabulary development, phonological awareness, and communication development.
Before I tell you the top ten songs that we believe to be beneficial, here are three items to look for when searching for a new song to sing to your child.
1. Repetition and Wording
All children songs ideally are short, repetitive, and simple. The more children hear a word or phrase, the more likely they are to remember it and take part in singing it! Listen to songs that have an action taking place, such as “Pop! Goes the Weasel”. Kids absolutely love to act out the action words and tend to remember those more than other parts of the songs. You also want to make sure the words that the song has fits the children’s reading level… you wouldn’t want to sing a song that has a 5th grade vocabulary if the child is only at a 1st grade level. That will only make it confusing for them and possibly shut down as a result.
2. Modify or Add Lyrics
I love when songs have such a catchy beat to it, that you can basically use any phrase or word to make it your own. For example, if your child has trouble saying words that start with the letter “R”, but they really like the song “5 Little Ducks”, you have the freedom to change the lyrics to “5 Little Rabbits” instead! It still goes along with the rhythm that they like, and they are benefiting each time you sing it with them. Or let’s say your child really likes the song “Bringing Home A Baby Bumblebee” you can add extra verses to the song just like this video shows to help your child with any words they have trouble with.
3. Dancing and Movement
It may sound silly at first and you may feel a bit embarrassed, however dancing and showing movement while singing a song dramatically increases the chance your child will want to listen and be apart of it. They are going to want to dance and sing all because they see you doing so! Move your hands, stomp your feet, jump around, and get moving! If your child sees you’re having a good time, they will want to do the same. It also helps with your child’s speech motor skills, it’ll help them learn different beats and rhythms.
So, what are the top 10 songs that we recommend?
These songs are exactly what you need – simple, short, and repetitive. You can easily change them up or add to them to fit your child’s needs. The rhythm to each one of these songs is extremely catchy and also easy to dance to.
- Wheels on the Bus
- Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes (Fill in the blank! Head, Shoulders, ______? & Toes)
- A Baby Bumblebee (Add new verses to the song)
- 5 Little Ducks
- Shoo Fly, Don’t Bother Me
- Baby Shark (Hand movements!)
- Apples & Bananas (Helps with different sounds)
- Row, Row, Row Your Boat
- If You’re Happy and You Know It
- Old MacDonald Had A Farm (Learn any kind of animal sounds)
So, get ready to put your singing hat on and have some fun this week!

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A condition of a horse's mouth in which the upper incisor teeth become long and overlap the lower incisors: seen usually in old horses.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
In the _parrot-mouth_, the wear occurs on the posterior face of the superior and the anterior face of the inferior incisors, the teeth becoming worn to rather a sharp edge, depending on the degree of the deformity.
-- The common deformities of the jaw and teeth are the overshot or parrot-mouth, the undershot or lantern-jaw, and the scissor-mouth.
_ -- There is a deformity, known as parrot-mouth, that interferes with prehension, mastication, and, indirectly, with digestion.
_lantern-jaw_, the wear occurs on the posterior face of the lower and the anterior face of the superior row of incisors, the teeth taking on somewhat the same shape as the parrot-mouth.

It’s that time of year again when ghouls and ghosts come out for Halloween, and to celebrate the spooky month, residents of San Diego Zoo have been given a special treat. Yes, that’s right, as part of an animal enrichment programme, monkeys and otters at the zoo have been enjoying swamps and pumpkins. Keepers have carved out some of the pumpkins to make it easier for the animals to reach in and dig out the seeds. This allows the cute creatures the opportunity to exercise control of their actions and which items they want to play with. Enrichment is really important to encourage species-specific behaviours. It’s great to give the animals something out of the blue that’s a fun puzzle to figure out, for them to use their mental and their physical abilities.San Diego Zoo also runs a global programme, which aims to bring back species from the brink of extinction. .

Decline and Revival in Higher Education
This is an analysis of higher education in the past half century, a period of dramatic change and democratization. But it is more than that. The author has been a participant in the struggle to stem the decline in higher education, as it moved from an emphasis on classical liberal values toward relativism and ideological extremism. This volume reflects an awareness of what has been lost, but sees hope for a revival of traditional values as technological change and awareness of failure forces institutions to examine their premise. Herbert I. London has provided here fuel for fundamental redirection in American college and university affairs. Decline and Revival in Higher Education is uncompromising in its concerns, but points the way toward a future linked to the best of the past.The work follows the personal evolution of the author, while at the same time, describes the devolution of university standards in such institutions as Columbia, Duke, the University of California at Berkeley, and New York University. While seeing optimistic trends in oases of traditional programming that can serve as a counterweight to campus orthodoxies, London argues that the dramatic transformation of the academy cannot be denied. The social sciences and humanities in particular have become isolated from mainstream requirements in the nation.London deals with concrete concerns, such as the collapse of classic book programs in the contemporary curriculum, the decline and even vigilante raids on opposition in campus publications, the collapse of moral judgment in favor of pure relativism, the transformation of many museums into a storage houses of debris, and the confusion of coarse language with democratization. These developments lead the author to write this book, for if the culture wars are over, the American people may be the losers.

Undoubtedly, every person on earth is working to figure out how to provide more. In addition, one wants to provide more in less time. And this is not where the trip ends. Humans are always trying to become better and better. The flexibility of human potential concerning physical strength is shown by world records being broken in every field every few years. Focus is the main element here. If you want to sharpen it, Books on Focus can help you.
The rationale is that we’ve already heard much about many philosophical facets of life; some of us even consider ourselves “experts” in them. However, most of us just “intellectually” understand it, which means that we haven’t “lived” these pearls of wisdom or effectively applied these principles to our lives yet. But what’s the deal? To better understand, we sometimes need to see the same object from a new viewpoint.
Best Books on Focus
1. Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence by Daniel Goleman
Goleman discusses the three types of focus—inner, external, and outward focus in one of his Books on Focus —and how using each may transform you from a goal-achiever who loves to put things off to a high degree.
His strategies for sharpening your concentration in a loud environment, developing self-awareness, and raising your emotional intelligence can help you succeed in all facets of your life.
He provides compelling case examples from many sectors, reliable research, and statistical data to support his arguments. Furthermore, he takes the time to explain what distinguishes exceptional achievers from typical achievers.
Don’t overlook Goleman’s observations on astute behaviors in the book, either. He discusses concentrated preparation, mindfulness meditation, and good vibrations. You may acquire new skills, adopt healthy habits, and sustain high-performance levels with the support of these personal development recommendations.
2. The One Thing by Gary Keller
In this one of the Best Books on Focus, Gary Keller makes it very clear that not everything matters in every event that arises in a person’s life. It’s only one little adjustment that may significantly accelerate one’s progress.
The book is excellent in every way. However, readers like asking “focusing questions” in almost every aspect of life. Any aspect of your life, including spirituality, physical health, relationships, personal life, work, company, money, etc., may be chosen, and by asking the following focused questions, you can quickly shift your attention to the answer.
3. The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less by Richard Koch
Are the things you work on for eighty percent of your time worthwhile? Read this book about targeted success to find out. This document is your bible when defining your priorities and objectives.
About the Pareto concept in Economics, which argues that 80% of output originates from 20% of input, Richard Koch draws attention to the 80/20 concept. He provides evidence for this well-known economic principle and a workable plan for setting priorities and boosting output.
The unexpectedly obvious fact that you are wasting 80% of your time on unimportant chores is revealed in this book. But you may achieve great success, a purposeful life, and pleasure when you concentrate on the 20% that matters.
Ultimately, you’ll discover how to identify important chores for your personal life, work strategically, manage your time, change your perspective, and effectively prioritize tasks.
4. Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less by Michael Hyatt
Have you ever completed a work earlier than anticipated? Michael provides examples of why it occurs and how to maintain such a culture in all facets of your life. He shares strategies in the book that have been shown time and time again to accomplish more tasks with less effort.
According to him, the key to productivity is not juggling too many things simultaneously but adhering to the correct activities, even in the face of digital temptations. Distraction is the enemy of productivity, and putting this book’s techniques into practice can help you become more focused and productive.
5. The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
One of the FANTASTIC Books on Focus that elucidates the idea that your choices determine your fate. Small, daily choices will either lead to the life you want or, by default, to catastrophe.
Daily little acts that seem minor when added together over time will produce a tremendous accumulation of success. The book openly sets the stage for you to concentrate on your main life goal before guiding you toward strategies and procedures.
With the help of this user-friendly, step-by-step operating system, you can track your progress, increase your success rate, and fulfill any ambition. If you are serious about creating your desired success, this book is a bible for creating it. It is well-written and has received good ratings from over 1600 buyers.
6. Eat that Frog by Brian Tracy
Brian Tracy has used the metaphor of a frog to describe a difficult task creatively, yet this kind of effort has a beneficial effect on your life. In the book, he explains why there just isn’t and never will be enough time to do everything on our to-do list. Put differently, they consume their frogs.
An ancient proverb states that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you will feel satisfied that you have completed the toughest task of the day. It’s a terrific place for novices to start since the book is simple to read, and the recommendations are highly accessible.
7. Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport
As the title suggests, this one of the Best Books on Focus is about concentrating on your deep work. The labor that eventually pays off and adds enormous value to the world. This book describes the typical tendency of the human mind to get distracted.
Furthermore, the ability of the mind to concentrate on in-depth work is significantly reduced in the constantly changing, globally linked world, where social media has evolved to an absurdly invasive degree.
Cal Newport has studied and used the techniques and mentality that promote a work environment free from distractions. He demonstrates how anybody may reach this elusive condition.
He describes how to train the mind to concentrate methodically and why understanding this change in work habits is essential for anybody hoping to remain ahead in a complex information economy.
8. Essentialism by Greg McKeown
Do you feel overburdened and overworked? Greg has the solutions for a more harmonious work-life ratio. In his book, he imparts the skill of focusing on what counts and letting go of unimportant chores.
He demonstrates how Essentialism is a methodical technique for determining what is essential and eliminating everything else, not merely a time-management tactic.
He emphasizes how you may reclaim control over your decisions by being more selective about what is necessary. This will allow you to concentrate your time, energy, and effort on the things that matter, which will have a greater influence on your key objectives and pursuits. Greg discusses Essentialism as a method of thinking and living.
You may better understand the significance of making thoughtful judgments and concentrating on what matters by reading Essentialism. You’ll learn the easy ways to investigate, evaluate, pare down, and act.
Some studies indicate that the typical contemporary man has an attention span of just eight seconds. People are constantly being inundated with information via the internet and their mobile devices, which creates a siren’s call to check and remain current constantly.
It may be difficult to concentrate for extended amounts of time, much alone over the long term, when you factor in the pressures of contemporary culture and the balancing act of leading a balanced life.
Fortunately, Books on Focus may help readers reduce distractions and unnecessary items, strengthen their willpower and mental discipline, and accomplish more while experiencing less anxiety.
Mastering focus is crucial for one’s job, but it’s also important for the general welfare and peace of mind since mindfulness and concentration are key components of these skills. These books teach you how to calm your mind and act purposefully, boosting your confidence in your ability to handle difficult circumstances.
Q: Can Books on Focus help me to focus?
A: These books are penned by seasoned authors and are critically acclaimed. You will find many tips and practical advice to sharpen your focus in these books.
Q: Do I need to buy all these books?
A: You may try to find these books in a library if you can’t afford them. You may try to find some free eBooks.
Q: What to do if the authors of two books present contradictory ideas?
A: All authors hold unique perspectives and opinions. If they contradict, analyze which one is best suited for you.

We always seem to forget that everything is so temporary. it may cross our minds once in a while and we might do something daring and out of our comfort zone but when that moment passes, it gets stored away in the back of our minds and we continue living our lives like we have plenty of tomorrows waiting for us. We postpone feelings and words to another day,another week, another month, another year. Everything is temporary.

Categories: maori party, polls - Tags: maori party, polls
The Marae-Digipoll has the political commentators all excited over what has been accepted fact in the blogosphere for some time: the Maori party will win all the Maori seats and will probably be Kingmaker.
The poll shows that Maori voters overwhelmingly favour Maori Party candidates and are evenly split on giving their party vote to the Maori Party or Labour (National, unsurprisingly, barely registers). As they did in 2005, many Maori will vote for a Maori Party candidate and give their party vote to Labour.
Which is not surprising, Maori are clever voters. They know that splitting their vote is the best way to further Maori political interests:
The poll also confirms the Maori Party’s base is of the Left: its voters are former Labour voters and many will split their votes between the Maori Party and Labour. That fact makes any idea of the National-Maori Party governing arrangement little more than a pipe dream. The Maori Party will not risk internal collapse to make John Key Prime Minister. Given that, the prospect of a Maori Party Kingmaker and a large overhang favours the Left.
You didnt mention that 15 percent of Maori Party supporters – those that are Maori – want a coalition with National. Thats hardly “barely registering”.
You also didn’t mention that there are more former Labour voters that want to vote National than there are former Labour voters that want to vote the Maori party.
Labours vite is D
Steve – in fact the most interesting opinion poll result to come out in regard to the Maori Party is the one that showed that 43% of Maori Party voters prefer a coalition with the National Party. Many commentators (especially on the left) presume that the huge majority of Maori Party support is pro-Labour and they all favour a deal with National.
The latest poll actually says that only 57% favour going with Labour against 43% who favour National – not an overwhelming difference. Even I was rather surprised that the difference was so small.
This makes a nonsense of your wishful thinking claim that ‘any idea of the National-Maori Party governing arrangement little more than a pipe dream. The Maori Party will not risk internal collapse to make John Key Prime Minister.’
So how do you explain that so many Maori Party supporters want their party to go with National when you regard the Maori Party as leftwing?
At the last election. National gained 5% of the Maori vote. So, given the history and the huge margins of error in this poll, I’m inclined to see the results for National in this poll as overrating support for National or a National coalition.
It’s simple. It’s hypothetical versus real.
The Maori Party *is* John Key – the default choice, until you ask what they would actually do.
Whatever happened to the “tight five”?
It is a massive distortion of the MMP system that Maori enrolled voters in effect have a vote that is worth two General roll votes. It’s an argument to abolish not only Maori seats but the general electorate seats too and to move to a complete proportional system where 1% of the vote gets you 1% of the seats without overhang.
It would rid us too of those one-man-band “parties” who only hang on because of electoral deals in general seats
Uroskin. Of course, there are downsides to pure list systems too. Voters have no control over which members of a party get elected (well, they do in some variations), its totally down to internal politics. No system is perfect but I prefer MMP to any other I’ve seen.
The seats are an important recognition of Maori’s special relationship with the Crown under the Treaty. However, I agree that in the age of MMP, the case for the Maori seats is weakened considerably. Perhaps the ideal situation would be to not have Maori seats and to have a lower threshold. Arguably there shouldn’t be a threshold at all – doesn’t a group of 1% of the population have as much to right 1% of the voice in parliament as a group of 10% of the population has a right to 10% of the voice?)
The decision to abolish the Maori seats should really be an issue for Maori or as part of a general constitutional overhaul. Any referendum will simply be a chance for the bigots to vote anti-Maori.

The seats are an important recognition of Maori’s special relationship with the Crown under the Treaty
Well,thats absolute rubbish. The seats have nothing to do with the Treaty. Maori seats were established by the 1867 Maori Representation Act, after conflict over land sales and a desire for political representation.
Bryce – where did you get that 43/57 split for the labour/national party vote? Was that another statistic released by the poll?
I haven’t been able to find that stat anywhere, but saw another statistic:
Among Maori voters 38% say they will give their party vote to the Maori Party while 37% opt for Labour and 15% tick National.
Seems Labour is more popular, as it was last time around.
Was there somewhere else that showed those who would vote for the Maori party with their party vote preferred National over Labour?
No, as Bryce said, they preferred Labour over National
Dave, in your blog, you said “Interestingly of the 38 percent of Maori Party supporters, 57.1 percent want a coalition with Labour, and 42.9 percent with National.”
So, there’s 37% for Labour and 15% for National. Over and above that, from the 38% that will vote for the Maori party, a further 15% support National, and a further 21% support Labour (based upon the 57/43 split).
The final support is therefore 30% for National, and 58% for Labour. I think a few people have got sucked in by the 57/43 split and failed to understand it was a very selective figure that the media decided to present.
While it’s not decisive, I think it’s still clear; Labour’s actual support from Maori voters is double that for National.
The 57/43 split relates to coalition preferences for those who will party vote the Maori party – ie will not party vote National or Labour. As none of the 57/47 split will vote National or Labour, this split therefore cannot transfer to support for the two main parties as to ‘support” a party normally means either voting for it, or indicating in a poll that you would vote for it if the vote was to be held today. So when you say “a further 15% support National, and a further 21% support Labour” that is incorrect. They only support these two parties as their favoiured coalition partner.
If Helen Clark is correct – and I dont think she is – in saying that a party vote for the Maori Party is a vote for National, that more than triples National support from 15% to 53% – as opposed to Labours 37%. And then theres the margin of error…. I bet you that of the 15 percent of Maori who want to vote National, higher than 11 percent want to go into coalition with the Maori Party. This refers.
Dave, yep you’re right but I’m not talking about votes. It is simply another indicator that th right is wrong when they say the Maori party is more likely (or equally) to go with National.
58% indicated support (or a desire for coalition with) Labour, and 30% for National.
As they’re likely to get an overhang, and be in a position to help decide a winning coalition, a party vote for the Maori Party is a waste – pick your coalition partner instead!
About 53% supporting National (by a party vote for MP being a vote for Nats), that’s just plain wrong when there’s a poll which has indicated who those people support – Clark may have said that as a suggestion that if Maori wish to make sure the party doesn’t go into coalition with National, but the poll actually tells you what they’re (well a ridiculously small sample) thinking, and more support Labour than National.
It is simply another indicator that th right is wrong when they say the Maori party is more likely (or equally) to go with National.
BNO it isnt. Polls are not indicators of a party’s preference, they are indicators of what teh voters what their party’s preference to be. NZF and UF have jumped both ways.
Polls only indicate public support – and that support does not transfer to teh desire of the party. So the right is not wrong – but the poll is no proof that the right is correct, either.

text: Controlling the spread of avian bird flu has become a challenging tasks for Indian agriculture and health administrators. After the first evidence and control of the virus in 2006, the virus attacked five states by January 2008. Based on the evidence of rapid spread of the avian bird flu type H5N1 among the Indian states of Maharashtra, Manipur, and West Bengal, and in the partially affected states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, a model is developed to understand the spread of the virus among birds and the effect of control measures on the dynamics of its spread. We predict that, in the absence of control measures, the total number of infected birds in West Bengal within ten and twenty days after initial discovery of infection were 780,000 and 2.1 million, respectively. When interventions are introduced, these values would have ranged from 65,000 to 225,000 after ten days and from 16,000 to 190,000 after twenty days. We show that the farm and market birds constitute the major proportion of total infected birds, followed by domestic birds and wild birds in West Bengal, where a severe epidemic hit recently. Culling 600,000 birds in ten days might have reduced the current epidemic before it spread extensively. Further studies on appropriate transmission parameters, contact rates of birds, population sizes of poultry and farms are helpful for planning.

The disaster-hit Gobbins cliff path is to reopen in time for Northern Ireland's peak summer season, the Belfast Telegraph can reveal.
The historic cliff-side walkway will be back in business at the end of June - after being shut down over most of its first two years.
But the restored path will not include a small section at the far end, because of restrictions linked to bird nesting.
And in future, seasonal opening will be a feature of the white-knuckle walk to allow for annual off-peak maintenance work.
So far, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has spent around £500,000 repairing and restoring the spectacular site at Islandmagee.
And councillors, who last night decided on the reopening date, have also allocated some £2m for maintenance work on the attraction.
Bookings for the walk, which can take up to three hours and is not for the faint-hearted, are to begin in May.
The latest major tourist magnet first faced disruption in 2015 when the extreme weather conditions of Storm Frank caused a major rock fall which damaged the steep access path.
It then missed out on the Easter period last year and shut again on June 20 because of increased levels of rockfall - involving 3,000 tonnes of rock and soil.
A major cliff-side operation involved workers dislodging partially loose rocks to ensure visitor safety.
Mayor Audrey Wales said: "We're very excited to have a reopening date confirmed. The Gobbins is so special within Europe. It sits within an Area of Special Scientific Interest on account of its wildlife and habitats.
"It is one of the only mainland sites in Ireland where puffins nest and, as such, we will always be restricted by the bird nesting season. We will be unable to open a small section at the end of the 2km path in time for June because of the environmental sensitivities within this area and the associated planning restrictions, but we will work on those areas during the off-peak season later in the year.
"Seasonal opening will be a feature of the Gobbins going forward and will be necessary in order for the council to carry out its annual cliff maintenance work off-peak."
The Gobbins was brought back to life at a cost of £7.5m - just under half of the funding coming through the European Union's INTERREG programme - with the former Larne Borough Council providing £4m and further funding of £200,000 from the Ulster Garden Villages charitable trust.
The brainchild of Irish railway engineer Berkeley Deane Wise, the Gobbins first opened in 1902 and remained a major attraction until the 1930s.
Carved into black basalt cliffs, it is an engineering triumph, connected by a network of walkways and bridges, the most iconic of which is the 'tubular bridge'.
Councillor Wales added: "We have spent about a quarter of a £2m budget to date - which is a significant investment in growing the local economy in Mid and East Antrim through the creation of sustainable jobs and tourism."

When might we learn enough to stop repeating our history?
When will we overcome our tendency to insist that we are right and the others are wrong?
When will the majority of people stand up to the few who threaten a more tolerant society?
What of the human rights and the rights of women that are denied within a number of ideologies and cultures?
Will these rights always be denied?
Often in history the majority of people within a society or culture remain peaceful in the face of adversity and allow a minority to control them, to the detriment of all.
There are situations that are developing in our world that are dangerous for the majority and yet most remain silent.
At which point should we, as a civilized society react and how?
Remaining tolerant in the face of the extreme behaviour of fanatics lost within their own mysticism; who kill for the sake of their own god with the idea that we are either one of them or we are against them; is not the answer.
While a civilized society is tolerant and respectful of others, their customs and beliefs, there is a point where we should wake up to the reality that we might be crushed by a radical minority.
So what do we do?
Stand back and watch it happen? Again?
Or embrace that tendency I mentioned earlier, the one where we insist that we are right and they are wrong?
It feels like a feedback loop, doesn’t it?
Ultimately the question is how do we create an integrated society?
One in which respect reigns over fanaticism and mystical fervour, one that allows for differences.
If we join the silent majority we are turning our backs on human rights, women’s rights and respect for humanity in general.
As artists we have a voice that reaches far and can make a difference.
Let’s use it!

Some very egg-citing things have been happening behind the scenes at Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. The park, located on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, has announced the hatching of not one, but two African penguin chicks!
The first chick hatched on January 25th, 2019, with the second following close behind, just three days later. They have been hand-raised behind the scenes by the Gulfarium’s well-trained animal care staff and are currently shedding their fluffy down, to be replaced by juvenile waterproof feathers.
“African penguins are an endangered species. They are facing imminent extinction without human intervention,” explains Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park’s President, Will Merrill III. “African penguins only lay two eggs per clutch, so we are extremely happy to have two healthy chicks.”
The Gulfarium anticipates that the chicks will begin to integrate with the rest of their penguin colony in just a little over a month and shortly thereafter, be ready to make their debut to the public.
Four African Penguin chicks have now hatched at the Gulfarium since 2016. “We are extremely proud of our animal care team,” states Patrick Berry, Gulfarium’s Director. “They work around the clock for our chicks to ensure healthy development. When they first hatch, our penguin chicks are fed every 3 hours. It’s a lot of work but any effort we can do to help preserve the species is vital. These chicks are the result of a successful breeding loan with our friends at Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City.”

Longines Longines Global Champions Tour 2017 in Mexico City
Mexico City hosted this weekend the first leg of the 2017 Longines Global Champions Tour. Andre Agassi attended the event.
Mexico City opened the 2017 Longines Global Champions Tour. In addition of being the Title Partner and the Official Timekeeper of the whole series, Longines has also presented the highlight of this first stage on Saturday, the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Mexico City, won by Martin Fuchs on Chaplin. Martin Fuchs was presented with a Longines watch by Charles Villoz, Vice President of Longines, to honour his performance.
Longines Ambassador of Elegance Andre Agassi attended the Longines Global Champions Tour of Mexico City on Friday afternoon. Earlier during the day, the legendary American tennis player inaugurated the new Longines Boutique located in the shopping mall Palacio de Hierro.
The Official Watch of the event was a model of The Longines Equestrian Collection, a line created as a tribute to the deep bonds the brand has forged with the equestrian world. This timepiece repeats the lines of the rectangular buckle found on the show bridle of the only Swiss horse breed, the franches-montagnes.

More Than 3,000 Tons Collected in First Three Months of Recycling Program
The City of Columbus’ new residential recycling program RecyColumbus has collected 3,192 tons of recyclables in its first three months, including 1,178 tons of recycling collected in August. Currently, 104,264 households in the west, far west, northwest, east, south and southeast sides are participating in the program that will be implemented citywide by February 2013.
“Residents told us they wanted residential recycling, and they have embraced it,” said Mayor Michael B. Coleman. “The people of Columbus are stepping up to make this one of the greenest cities in the nation.”
The 3,192 tons of recyclables diverted from the landfill since the start of the residential recycling program has saved the City taxpayers $176,971 in tipping fees that would have been paid to dump the reusable materials at the landfill. The total includes $65,291 in savings from the 1,178 tons of recyclables collected in August.
“The residential recycling program continues to provide real savings to our residents who clearly understand the importance of the program when it comes to protecting our environment and also reducing land fill costs,” said Councilmember Eileen Y. Paley, chair of the Public Service and Transportation Committee.
The collected recycling had little contamination by regular trash, showing that residents knew what items were recyclable. August recycling totals in the first two phases of the program include:
· Phase 1 (Franklinton, the Hilltop, Far West Side, Southwest Side and parts of the Northwest Side): 581 tons from 47,741 households
· Phase 2 (South Side, Southeast Side, Near East Side south of East Broad Street and the Far East Side): 596 tons from 56,523 households
Bi-weekly recycling collection started in Phase 1 areas on June 4 and in Phase 2 neighborhoods on July 31. The remaining residential recycling implementation schedule includes:
· Phase 3 (Far North and Far Northwest neighborhoods north of S.R. 161): Bi-weekly recycling collections will begin September 26
· Phase 4 (Clintonville, Harrison West, Italian Village, Milo-Grogan, Northwest Side south of Bethel Road, the Short North, the University area, Victorian Village and Weinland Park): Recycling cart deployment to begin October 15; bi-weekly collection of recycling to begin December 6
· Phase 5: (North and South Linden, Near East Side north of East Broad Street, Northeast Side): Recycling cart deployment to begin December 10; bi-weekly collection of recycling to begin February 1, 2013
When fully implemented in February 2013, RecyColumbus will serve approximately 215,000 households. Columbus residents living in single-family homes or in a building with four units or less that is not part of a complex are eligible for the new, easy-to-use service.
Recycling is collected at no additional cost to residents every two weeks, alternating with yard waste collection. The program is expected to save the City of Columbus millions of dollars in landfill costs over several years.
Residents can learn what to do when the recycling cart is delivered to their home by watching an educational video online at http://www.recyclecolumbus.org, where residents can also find out what their collection day is and more about recycling. The video is part of public outreach and education program that includes community presentations, neighborhood posters and displays, media coverage, phone call reminders to recycle and television public service announcements.
Residents can also connect online at: Facebook.com/ ColumbusPublicService and twitter.com/ColumbusDPS or search for #RecycleColumbus.

By Walter Ndlovu
In the mid-1990s, a form of tourism has been established in metropolises of several socalled “developing countries” or “emerging nations”. The concept became popular in Brazil, India and South Africa where they are packaged as authentic, interactive and educational in nature. The essential part of this tourism is a visit to the most disadvantaged parts of these cities. It is mainly organised in form of guided tours through those areas, often called “slums”.. As defined by Spenceley community tourism is “tourism which is owned and/or managed by communities with the aim of generating wider community benefit”. The main aim of community tourism should be to improve the residents’ quality of life by maximizing local economic benefits, protecting the natural and built heritage and providing a high quality of experiences for the visitors. It also aims at giving visitors personal contact with the physical and human environment of the countryside and allow them to participate in the activities, traditions and lifestyles of the local people.
Today a lot of the tours are operated and marketed by professional companies. But a large number of informal businesses also exist. Slum tours are offered on a relatively large scale in the South African cities such as Johannesburg and Cape Town, the Indian metropolises Calcutta, Mumbai and Delhi as well as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, to name the most important places. Target group of these tours are primarily international tourists. The number of slum tourists is constantly increasing: It is estimated that 40,000 visit Rio de Janeiro each year, while in Cape Town the figure is even assumed to be around 300,000. Guided tours into the slums are slowly becoming a standard in the city tourism of the “developing countries” or “emerging nations”. The terms used to describe this phenomenon are very disparate. In academic articles, some authors call them “social tours” or “reality tours”, because a number of these tours are explicitly presented by their operators as being “authentic” and as possessing strong interactive features. They promise the tourists experiences “off the beaten path”. Other authors tag these tours as a form of “cultural tourism” or “ethnic tourism” and often emphasize their educational aspect. Here, the possibility of a cultural exchange is highlighted. On the other hand, terms like “poverty tourism” and “poorism” express the morally dubious socio-voyeuristic aspects. The term “slumming” is also used in the context of critical tourism research. Especially reports in the media often criticize the valorization and marketing of marginal settlements, slums, favelas or townships as tourist attracttions.
In Zimbabwe, recent studies, have shown that despite the country’s reliance on natural and heritage resources, the new breed of tourists wants to have a more intimate relationship with the communities in the countries they visit.
Its no longer a thrill of big five, but rather ‘to meet real people, witness how they live and experience their current state of development and cultural heritage. Culture based tourism such as township tours are better alternative to the traditional nature-based tourism because it has been found to be more sustainable, it cannot be substituted and is participatory particularly for the communities being visited. Study has revealed that tourists are searching for unique experiences that are personalised and offer high quality service delivery with local residents also benefiting. Township tourism is recognised as a key driver of the economy in Zimbabwe and has been targeted as strategic in the country’s drive for economic growth and development.

What will the sale of the Penguins mean for the development of the Hill District?
As earth moving equipment begins to reshape the old Civic Arena site, the entire Hill District development landscape threatens to change this month.
Fenway Sports Group, based in Boston [FSG] has a pending purchase from the Pittsburgh Penguins, potentially putting Lower Hill redevelopment in the hands of a billionaire whose Boston Red Sox ownership coincides with the gentrification of the baseball zone.
Less publicly, a potential rival to the Hill Community Development Corp. is waiting to see if it will become the second registered community organization in the neighborhood. Such a designation could alter the public processes governing the planned more than $ 1 billion construction plans in Lower Hill.
Here are the questions we asked and the answers we got during a week of uncertainty for the Hill.
Would a sale of the Penguins change the club’s commitments to redevelop the arena site?
The hockey franchise received the rights to develop the 28-acre site as part of the complex deal that led to the construction of the 11-year-old PPG Paints Arena. In 2014, the team’s development arm, Pittsburgh Arena Real Estate Redevelopment LLC, signed a collaboration and community implementation plan. [CCIP], which describes the community benefits expected to flow from the development to the rest of the Hill.
The Penguins have given most of the development tasks to the Delaware-based Buccini / Pollin group. [BPG]. Site preparation recently began at the west end, where the new First National Bank headquarters tower is expected to rise to 2.5 acres.
“A change in ownership, if any, would in no way affect the engagement of the Penguins in the Lower Hill redevelopment effort,” wrote Kevin Acklin, chief operating officer and general counsel for the Penguins, in response to the comments. questions from PublicSource.
Executives at Hill CDC, which held a meeting Thursday night, said they were still gathering information about the potential impact of a sale.
âWe urged elected officials to get information on what this means for Lower Hill’s development rights,â Hill CDC Chairman Marimba Milliones told about 45 attendees at the virtual meeting. âWe need to make sure that the new ownership group understands the commitment that comes with this ownership. “
What is the FSG and what does it say about the Hill District?
The FSG is a sports conglomerate whose best-known assets are the Red Sox and their stadium, the Liverpool Football Club and its stadium. Its main owner is billionaire John Henry. Its most famous investor may well be basketball star LeBron James. And an important connection to Pittsburgh is Larry Lucchino, an Allderdice High School graduate who became president of the Red Sox and remains a partner of the FSG.
Questions submitted by PublicSource to the FSG on Friday were not immediately addressed.
What will be the role of neighborhood voices?
As the Penguins and BPG redevelop parts of the old arena site, they must get public approval. These would come from the entities that own the land – the Sports & Exhibition Authority [SEA] and the Urban Redevelopment Authority [URA] – plus the Town Planning Commission.
Since 2018, the city code requires developers to try to organize development activity meetings with registered community organizations. [RCOs] before getting commission approval. The URA board has also tended to heed the comments of RCOs. None of the organizations are legally bound to take neighbors’ comments into account.
The Hill District RCO is the 34-year-old Hill CDC. He argued that government agencies should wait to approve development plans and sell the land until the Penguins and BPG provide a condition sheet that ensures sufficient community benefits.
The Penguins and BPG have offered $ 34 million in community benefits – some backed by FNBs and others from funds that would normally go to tax agencies – stemming from the tour project. The Hill CDC responded with requests that included investment opportunities for residents, affordable office space inside the tower, and savings bonds for neighborhood children.
So far, the SEA, URA and the commission have allowed the Penguins and BPG to proceed with the FNB tower. However, each section of the site will require a new round of community meetings and public approvals.
Is there new neighborhood support for the redevelopment effort?
Hill District residents and business people have spoken out for and against the efforts of the Penguins and BPG in public hearings, and now some of the promoters are trying to form their own RCOs.
âI fully support the FNB project and we are ready to move forward,â said Tonya Ford, in a video montage the development team released for the Planning Commission on May 4. In that same video, Gilbert Lowe also declared his support. At a meeting of the URA board of directors on May 26, the two spoke out in favor of the sale of the Lower Hill lands to an entity created by BPG, the Penguins and FNB, and among those who joined, there was Sauntee ‘Turner.
In September, Ford, Lowe and Turner filed for the new Hill District Collaborative to be designated RCO for the Hill District and the Bluff.
In its candidacy, the collaborative indicated that they have a board of directors of nine to 21 members, but neither the candidacy nor the collaborative’s website mentions them. The collaboration declined to disclose its board of directors to PublicSource and chose not to participate in an interview. Turner, who was on staff for Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, declined to provide answers after the collaboration asked PublicSource to put their questions in writing.
City councilor Daniel Lavelle wrote a letter approving the collaborative’s candidacy. He did not respond to requests for comment.
Planning director Andrew Dash said this week his department is reviewing the request and may make a decision later this month.
How did the Hill CDC react to the collaborative’s candidacy for RCO status?
In response to the request from the Hill District Collaborative, the Hill CDC held an emergency meeting on October 25.
During the virtual meeting with nearly 100 attendees, Milliones said the CDC was “always excited to engage new people in what’s going on in our neighborhood,” but also warned that the existence of two RCOs would allow “to the city and to private interests” to “steer the process.
âAt a time when the future of the Hill District hangs in the balance, this is the last thing we need,â she said.
What if there were two RCOs on the Hill?
If two RCOs do not cooperate on a given development, then it is up to the Planning Department, rather than the groups themselves, to plan and facilitate meetings on development activities.
Millions of people told the emergency meeting that the existence of two RCOs on the Hill could allow developers to attempt a âdivide and conquerâ strategy in the process of entering the neighborhood.
Could the Hill District Collaborative replace the Hill CDC in the Lower Hill negotiations?
The CCIP created an executive management committee of nine members, including three representatives from the Hill, three people appointed by the team and three chosen by government agencies. Its job is to guide efforts to spread the benefits of Lower Hill development across Middle Hill and Upper Hill, solving problems and building consensus among the parties.
Neighborhood representatives are chosen by a Lower Hill task force. Millions, signatory of the CCIP, is one of them. Even if approved as RCO, the new Hill District Collaborative will not automatically get a seat on the EMC.
As the earth moves, what has the EMC done?
The EMC meets every other Friday. As a body created by the signed CCIP, it is not subject to the Sunshine Act, which requires government agencies to hold decision-making meetings in public. So far, he has not allowed the public or the media to attend.
PublicSource has been asking since August 10 for an opportunity to observe the EMC process. On September 1, Lavelle said in a short interview that the EMC “strives to open it up to all media and the public” after “the next two or three meetings.”
Since then, Lavelle has not responded to monthly calls, texts and emails requesting an update.
Developing PGH was made possible through funding from The Heinz Endowments.

A worldwide spending movement takes hold locally and abroad
With colorful names like the Eco-Pesa, Brooklyn Torch, Detroit Cheers, and Palmas, local currencies are springing up all over the world. In fact, there are an estimated 2,500 such systems now functioning or proposed these days. In this country, Berkshares in nearby Western Massachusetts is one of the most well known and successful of these; our own Hudson Valley Current is still in the planning stages. Internationally, local currencies are very popular in Great Britain and in the British Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. Western Europe, Africa, and Asia all have numerous examples as well.
Local currencies are part of several broad trends in economics. The first of these is called “fiscal localism.” The “buy local” movement, which is well developed and supported here in the Hudson Valley, is an example of fiscal localism. A local currency, circulating as it does within a particular region, is a potent force for a local economy. It builds community, and it is also a psychological motivator, raising consciousness about monetary and economic issues. It brings up questions that are very useful to ask ourselves, like “Just what is money, anyway?”
Local currencies fall into the broader trend of “alternative currencies.” This term refers to just about any system of exchange that is not a national currency. Aside from printed currencies, there are time-based exchange systems such as the successful Woodstock Time Bank here in Ulster County, and Ithaca Hours. In Wales alone there are 116 such systems; there are about 100 in the US. Then there are mutual credit systems that also do not use currency in the usual sense of the word. A well known type of this system is LETS (Local Employment Trading System). There are over 240 LETS systems operating in Australia alone. All these types of systems and projects have their strengths and weaknesses. Many fail after a time. Thomas Greco, a leading writer on the subject, believes that mutual credit systems can actually replace money in the future if they are properly designed.
Alternative currencies need not be local. The Hub Culture community is an international social network that has drop-in work and social spaces for members in big cities worldwide, similar to BEAHIVE in Kingston and Beacon. Hub Culture also has its own currency, the Ven. Airline miles are another example of a non-local monetary system.
Another term you will hear in discussions of this topic is “complementary currency,” which refers to a monetary system that works alongside a national one. Not all complementary currencies can be exchanged for national ones, but they are all intended to complement, not replace, national currencies. The Toronto Dollar, Berkshares, and the proposed Hudson Valley Current are complementary currencies whose value is set in relation to the national currency, and they can be exchanged for that currency at banks.
One last important trend reflected in local currencies is what I call “Civil Economics.” The inspiration and leadership for these projects comes from civil society rather than governments or for-profit entities. They are community based, part of the “blessed unrest” that Paul Hawkin wrote about in his book with the same name. The worldwide flowering of civil society organizations is a real bright spot in human society these days. People are joining together to make a difference, whether it is in relation to environmental causes, serving human needs, or bringing creative thinking to the human predicament. Certainly in economic matters there is a profound need for new ways of thinking and relating to each other. There is a great deal of potential for civil society leadership to help shift entrenched patterns of economic influence and power by triangulating the often-unhealthy relationship between the governmental and business sectors.
Still, community based action is not necessarily easy. Lack of financial clout and political authority always creates obstacles, but lack of general public awareness is probably the biggest problem. In matters of money, we are deeply habit bound. Organizers of local currencies often feel the “little red hen” effect, which is the feeling that people are enthusiastic about something in theory, but the hard work and support may be lacking. They may be willing to use a system that’s already in place, but making it happen is a different story. Luckily a local currency is not a hugely complicated project. Here in the Hudson Valley, though there is a lot of economic distress, there is not the kind of starvation and total powerlessness found in other parts of the world. That may contribute to the low level of participation in economic activism in these parts.
In Kenya, by contrast, there is now a local currency called the Eco-Pesa (Ecological Money), which is a community business voucher to benefit the environment and economy of Kongowea, a slum district of Mombasa. There, the average business takes in about $5US per day, an amount that supports perhaps five or more people. The voucher acts as a currency that can be exchanged for local goods and services and redeemed for Kenyan Shillings. As Eco-Pesa can only be spent in local businesses within Kongowea, its use creates a direct incentive for residents to take an active role in their community while also helping the local economy and environment. By generating better circulation of money within a specific area, this currency does exactly what local currencies are designed to do in more developed economies: they support local businesses, empower community development, and build a sense of local kinship at a social level.
As we look at the process locally, we can take inspiration that we are not reinventing the wheel. Communities and regions around the world are doing it, and they’ve been doing it for quite some time. We can learn a lot from their efforts. The cool thing is this: as we design and build our local currency, we are building community from the start.
This work is the stage on which deeper aspirations are being worked out…aspirations for a more vibrant and creative society, for greater security and fairness, and ultimately for greater prosperity—the prosperity that comes from a truly healthy economy.

Sex scandal: Group passes Vote of No Confidence on Bauchi Rep
A group, Voice of the Masses (VoM) has passed a vote of no confidence on
Honourable Mohammed Garba Gololo following his involvement in a raging sex
scandal during a recent visit of members of the House of Representatives
to the United States.
Gololo represents Gamawa Federal Constituency in Bauchi state on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC).
The group said the member has brought shame to the people of his
The position of the group was contained in a press statement issued by the
group in Muryar Talaka Gamawa Local Government Council of Bauchi State.
The statement was signed by the Chairman, Comrade Kassim Abubakar Gamawa
and made available to Pointblanknews.com in Bauchi.
“As part of the outcome of our meeting held at Gamawa Central Primary
School on Jul 15 , 2016 5:00AM at the end we came out with the resolution
to pass a vote of no confidence on the member in question”.
“While considering the gravity of the allegations which is causing
humiliation to the people of his constituency, the group had earlier
demanded that the member, Gololo must come to his constituency to explain
to clear himself of the sex scandal allegation”.
“But unfortunately, Hon Gololo failed to honour the invitation by making
a clumsy excuse of a security threat”, the group said.
Kassim said the group is facing intimidation by some unpatriotic citizens
that are greedily loyal to the member in question.
The chairman of the group urged the Committee to release the outcome of
the report as quickly as possible to enable the law take its course.
It could be recalled that US Ambassador, in a letter dated June 9, 2016,
addressed to Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, alleged that
three members of the House namely: Hon. Mohammed Garba Gololo (APC,
Bauchi), Hon. Samuel Ikon (PDP, Akwa Ibom) and Hon. Mark Gbillah (APC,
Benue) had, on a recent visit to the United States for the International
Visitor Leadership Program, brought disrepute to the parliament by
soliciting for sex from prostitutes and grabbing hotel housekeeper in a
bid to rape.

As you know, we’re greatly involved with both the Kent and Medway Dementia Action Alliances, which has informed our Memory Box project in adapting to different groups of people telling us their stories.
Dementia Memory Cafes are a growing resource across the country for people living with dementia and their carers, to come together for support and to combat social isolation.
We dropped into the Rochester cafe last week on what would have been Sir Terry Pratchett’s 69th birthday, taking along a few Quantum Weather Butterflies and some random reminiscence items, thus combining The Turtle Moves with The Memory Box.
The Rochester cafe is organised by Alzheimer’s volunteer John Portman and takes place on the last Friday in the month at St.Peter’s Church in The Delce from 1.30-3.30pm. There’s plenty of free, on street parking and a warm welcome awaits you.
