Hypoponera inhabit and nest in leaf litter, the surface layer of soil, downed rotten wood, and soil around plant roots. Nests are typically found by turning objects on the ground, like downed wood and rocks, or through the ripping away of bark found on rotting downed wood or at the base of dead trees. Litter samples in tropical areas, especially in moist forested sites, often contain individuals of this genus. All Hypoponera are thought to be predators of small arthropods but published details about their diet are sparse. A lack of information about other aspects of their biology is also typical for most species.
The genus is most diverse in the tropics. Species found in higher latitudes tend to be more widespread, common and abundant than their tropical and subtropical congeners.
The following information is derived from Barry Bolton's New General Catalogue, a catalogue of the world's ants.
- bulawayensis. Ponera ragusai st. bulawayensis Forel, 1913j: 203 (w.) ZIMBABWE. Combination in Hypoponera: Bolton, 1995b: 213. Raised to species: Bolton & Fisher, 2011: 31. See also: Arnold, 1915: 80.
Unless otherwise noted the text for the remainder of this section is reported from the publication that includes the original description.
Bolton and Fisher (2011) - In section 1 of the abeillei group the bulawayensis LPeI 67 is approached only by Hypoponera angustata, for which a maximum LPeI of 70 has been recorded. In all others the node in profile is much taller and shorter from front to back, with a combined range of LPeI 37–59. H. angustata is not likely to be confused with bulawayensis, as the former has shorter scapes, SI 71–79, and conspicuously has only four enlarged apical funicular segments, as opposed to SI 90 and five enlarging funicular segments in bulawayensis.
In dorsal view the petiole node of bulawayensis has DPeI 110, very long in proportion to its width. This is approached only by Hypoponera regis (DPeI 100), angustata (DPeI 100–125) and Hypoponera perparva (DPeI 108–120). Of these, regis is easily separated by the characters in the key while the last two are smaller species (HW 0.35 or less) and as noted above the first has only four conspicuously enlarged apical funicular segments. Also, both these small species have scapes that are relatively markedly shorter, SI 71–80, as opposed to SI 90 in bulawayensis. Discounting these three species, the remainder of section 1 of the abeillei group shows a combined DPeI of 133–187, far exceeding bulawayensis. As frequently happened in the early taxonomy of Afrotropical Hypoponera, the name bulawayensis was originally associated with a species to which it is not actually related, in this case Hypoponera ragusai.
Bolton and Fisher (2011) - Measurements: HL 0.54–0.55, HW 0.40–0.41, HS 0.475–0.480, SL 0.36–0.37, PrW 0.29–0.32, WL 0.72 (WL of holotype not measurable because head plus propleuron, prosternum and forelegs are detached as a unit and glued down so that they are partially on top of the pronotum), HFL 0.33–0.34, PeNL 0.20, PeH 0.30, PeNW 0.22, PeS 0.240 (2 measured). Indices: CI 73–76, SI 90, PeNI 70–76, LPeI 67, DPeI 110.
Eyes absent. Scape relatively long (SI 90) but when laid straight back from its insertion in full-face view its apex distinctly fails to reach the midpoint of the posterior margin; SL/HL 0.65–0.69. Funiculus distinctly with 5 enlarging apical segments. Reticulate-punctate sculpture of cephalic dorsum fine and dense. Pronotal dorsum with minute superficial punctulae, almost smooth, obviously less strongly and densely sculptured than cephalic dorsum. Mesonotum and dorsum of propodeum almost smooth, shiny and almost entirely devoid of punctulae. No trace of metanotal groove on dorsum of mesosoma. Mesonotal-mesopleural suture absent from side of mesosoma. Propodeum rounded between declivity and side. Posterior surface of petiole node without short cuticular ridges that radiate from just above the peduncle. Node of petiole in profile distinctly stout-nodiform, relatively long and low. Anterior and posterior faces of node in profile slightly convergent to almost parallel; length of node just above the anterior tubercle is slightly greater than length of dorsum; dorsal surface is very weakly convex. Subpetiolar process simple, with a shallow, obtuse ventral angle but without a sharply defined ventral tooth or prominent acute angle. In dorsal view petiole node relatively long, only 10 percent broader than long (DPeI 110), with posterior face transverse; sides and anterior face form a single thickly D-shaped convex surface, with the sides slightly convergent anteriorly. Maximum width of first gastral tergite in dorsal view 0.36; width of second gastral tergite at its midlength 0.38–0.40. Cross-ribs present at base of cinctus of second gastral tergite. Sides of second gastral tergite in dorsal view almost straight. Midline length of second gastral posttergite, from posterior margin of cinctus to apex, is equal to the maximum width of the segment. Disc of second gastral tergite finely microreticulate. First and second gastral tergites dorsally pubescent and with a number of very short standing setae that project just above the level of the pubescence. Full adult colour yellow.

Amid what has been described as the most consequential presidential election in modern US history, foreign policy pundits are closely examining Joe Biden’s past statements and actions on China to get a sense of how the Democratic presidential nominee might deal with the Xi Jinping regime if he wins next month’s election.
Biden is one of the most experienced foreign policy hands among US politicians, and in the eight years he served as Vice President under the Obama administration, Xi became the Chinese president, propelling the Middle Kingdom towards a more aggressive diplomatic and military posturing.
As Vice President, Biden had met with Xi several times before he became the most powerful person in China – and claims to understand the man.
But that was then.
Even without the chaos and destruction unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China, US-China relations have deteriorated to worrying levels since Biden left the US government in 2017. Washington and Beijing have fought a trade war; Xi has quashed Hong Kong’s democratic rights; and the Chinese military has made extremely risky moves everywhere from Ladakh to the seas near Taiwan and Japan.
Five years ago, it was common for China-watchers in the West to speak admirably of China’s massive economic progress and express optimism about its “peaceful rise” in a new world order.
That optimism has gone up in smoke, and the economic devastation in the West caused by the pandemic – while China appears to have done relatively better – has only hardened positions in America and Western Europe against the Communist Party government. And it’s not just the governments. Trust that China would do the right thing has diminished amongst people of all major developed economies, a recent Pew survey revealed.
If the last two decades were spent in cautiously welcoming China into the global, rules-based, Western-dominated order, historians of the future might see 2020 as the year when an alarmed West started to take steps to restrain Beijing. The question is: Is it already too late?
Both a Biden or Trump presidency will have to spend a lot of their initial energy and political capital in dealing with the ongoing mess of the COVID-19 pandemic and the job losses at home. In such a situation, the new president may attempt to shore up support at home by taking aim at bad foreign actors – including China.
The tech wars with major Chinese companies like Huawei and TikTok owners ByteDance amid concerns over privacy and control of data are not going away in a hurry.
We’ve already seen Secretary of State Mike Pompeo take an unusually hard line on China in the past few months. Expect more of the same in a second Trump term. While Biden might bring a degree of sophistication and civility to the conduct of foreign policy, the push-back against Beijing is set to continue. Biden, if anything, is likely to aggressively ramp up pressure over human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet and Hong Kong's future.
Biden has described China’s repression of Uighurs as genocidal and promised to meet with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, a move that will infuriate Beijing that is seeking to thrust its own Dalai Lama on the Tibetans after the current one passes away.
Taiwan is another flashpoint, and while nobody is directly seeking conflict, the danger of an accident triggering a shooting match cannot be ruled out.
America’s closer engagement with India, Japan and Australia as part of the Quad will almost certainly accelerate under either administration, though New Delhi might find US-India relations a little more challenging under a Biden-Harris administration for other reasons.
Could we also, finally, be on the threshold of a military alliance between India and the United States? Some defence experts in India are calling for such an alliance, but it’s still too early to tell.
It is, however, safe to conclude that when it comes to foreign policy challenges, China will be uppermost on the mind of the next US president.

Is the menopause making you age faster? Women often comment that going through the menopause makes them feel like they have aged 10 years. Unfortunately, the latest scientific research now shows that this is true, with menopause being shown to increase biological age – the rate at which your cells are aging inside. But what is actually causing this and how can it be slowed?
Biological Age: the rate at which your cells are aging
Your chronological age is simply how many years have passed since your birth. This number will continue to increase over time, and you have no control over it. On the other hand, your biological age is the rate at which your cells are aging inside, how well are they functioning and how much damage they have accumulated. Therefore, your biological age is arguably more important than your chronological age when it comes to health. Surprisingly, your biological age can be higher or lower than your chronological age. For example, while your chronological age may be 35, your cells may be functioning like those of someone aged 40!
Menopause Increases Biological Age
Recent studies have measured the impact of menopause on the biological age of women. One study found that during the transition from perimenopause to menopause a women’s biological age can increase by 9 years in just 6 months, indicating the importance of hormones in regulating aging. Another study of 2000 women found that their rate of biological aging doubled during menopause, with some women experiencing a biological age increase of 20 years during this period.
Menopause occurs when the body stops producing key hormones specifically estrogen and progesterone. Whilst these were previously thought of as just sex hormones, they are now known to be vital for the optimal function of many body systems important for healthy aging including the mitochondria, brain and immune system. This means the decline of these hormones during menopause can cause a wide variety of symptoms and an increase in biological age.
For example, the role of estrogen in regulating immune function means that menopause contributes to rising levels of inflammation in the body. This rise in chronic inflammation termed ‘inflammaging’ is a key driver of the cellular aging process. Inflammation accelerates aging by activating various pro-aging pathways and can be damaging to tissues.
Lifestyle factors can reduce your biological age
Research shows that genetics only has a small influence on aging, accounting for around 20%, with the remaining 80% being determined by lifestyle factors. This means your daily habits and routines have a huge influence on how well you will age.
The promising news is that unlike chronological age, your biological age is reversible. Lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, sleep and supplements have been shown to positively impact your biological age.
Exercise is one the best-known tools for aging well. It positively impacts a multitude of biological systems and studies show that exercise decreases biological age and reduces chronic inflammation.
Diet can also decrease inflammation and biological age. Of importance is a diet that supports gut health, because around 60-70% of your immune system resides in your gut. Therefore, by having a diverse gut microbiome you can reduce inflammation across the whole body. Studies show that including fermented food such as kimchi, kombucha, and kefir in your diet and aiming to eat 30 different plants each week, can support your gut health and reduce your biological age.
Sleep is also important for both physical and mental health. Research shows that sleep deprivation can accelerate biological age. This is because a lack of sleep increases the pro-aging inflammatory pathways. Sleep-wake cycles are regulated by your circadian rhythm which is known to become disrupted with age. Working to optimise your circadian rhythm by getting morning sunlight, reducing exposure to screens before bed and not eating a late dinner can all help improve sleep quality.
NAD+ reverses Biological Age
NAD+ is a molecule found in every cell that is critical for cellular energy production and repair. It has been found to decline with age and this has been linked to increased biological age. Research shows that increasing your cellular NAD+ levels is a promising strategy to promote healthy aging and reduce biological age. Interestingly, a lot of lifestyle habits that positively impact aging such as exercising, fasting and sleep are known to exert their beneficial effects by increasing cellular NAD+ levels.
Your NAD+ levels can also be improved using NAD+ supplements such as Nuchido TIME+. In our clinical study Nuchido TIME+ was found to reduce biological age by an average of 1.26 years after 28 days of supplementation.
While menopause may cause a variety of symptoms and increase your rate of aging, the positive news is that there are many things you can implement into your daily routine to combat this. Working to reduce inflammation with diet, exercise, sleep and NAD+ supplements can all help you positively transition through the menopause.

Self-rated physical fitness in midlife an indicator of dementia risk
How would you rate your own physical fitness? Is it good, satisfactory or maybe even poor? Surprisingly, your answer may reveal your future risk of getting dementia. A recent collaborative study from Finland, involving the follow-up of 3,559 adults for 30 years, has found that a simple question about self-rated physical fitness in midlife may reveal individuals who are at an increased risk of developing dementia. Those who reported poor self-rated physical fitness in midlife, at the mean age of 50 years, were four times more likely to get dementia during the next three decades compared to those with good self-rated physical fitness.

Nicki Minaj & 50 Cent Tweet Support For Will Smith After Slapping Chris Rock At Oscars
Hollywood is still reeling after the Oscars moment no one was expecting, and both celebrities, and pretty much anyone who can write online, are now sharing their opinions on which side was in the right.
If you somehow haven’t heard, Will Smith responded explosively to an insensitive joke by Best Documentary Feature presenter Chris Rock about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head, a result of the medical condition alopecia. Smith slapped the comedian in the face and yelled “Keep my wife’s name out your f––king mouth,” at him twice, shocking both Rock and the audience into silence.
Smith later won the Best Actor award for the biopic King Richard, and in his speech, he apologized to Rock and the Academy. He also said notably at the end of his emotional and sometimes-rambling speech, “art imitates life. I look like the crazy father. Love will make you do crazy things.”
Some have praised Smith for not taking Rock’s joke lying down after Pinkett-Smith clearly wasn’t entertained by it. The rapper Nicki Minaj decried Rock’s joke and was one who spoke out in support of Smith in several tweets on Monday. Minaj said she appreciated Smith’s response because “while y’all seeing the joke he’s seeing her pain.”
The husband gets a front row seat to his wife’s pain… he’s the 1 consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made ppl feel that these “husbands” won’t ever run into them in real life. (Continued again(last time)on next tweet)
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) March 28, 2022
You just got to witness in real time what happens in a man’s soul when he looks over to the woman he loves & sees her holding back tears from a “little joke” at her expense. This is what any & every real man feels in that instant. while y’all seeing the joke he’s seeing her pain
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) March 28, 2022
While a few other celebrities came to Smith’s defense, including 50 Cent, Tiffany Haddish and his own son Jaden Smith, who tweeted “And That’s How We Do It,” later that evening, most in Hollywood are tripping over themselves to condemn Smith’s actions the most. Actress Zoë Kravitz referred to the incident lightly in an Instagram caption which read, “here’s a picture of my dress at the award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now.”
In a now-deleted tweet, director Judd Apatow said Smith “could have killed” the comedian and dramatically added it was, “pure out of control rage and violence.”
— Mia Farrow (@MiaFarrow) March 28, 2022
Plenty of people in the stand-up comedy world also reacted strongly to seeing a comedian get slapped for a bad joke. Kathy Griffin warned people that “we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.” Other comedians, who are all rich and famous enough to afford tight security should they need it, including Rob Schneider, Whitney Cummings and Patton Oswalt all wrote similar tweets echoing concern for the safety of stand-ups to tell their prime penis jokes now.
Let me tell you something, it’s a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a Comedian.
Now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) March 28, 2022
Very nervous for my shows at the @TheIrvineImprov tomorrow and Tuesday. Anyone have a catcher’s mask I can borrow?
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) March 28, 2022
I mean, it’s amazing that twitter attacking comedians for making jokes here about last night don’t see that they’re doing the same shit Will did last night. When people take jokes literally, society is just over.
— Whitney Cummings (@WhitneyCummings) March 28, 2022
Smith has since released a public apology, saying in part, “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable … I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” The Academy condemned Smith’s actions and said they were conducting an independent investigation into the incident that will take several weeks to complete, and could potentially result in them revoking the actor’s award. On Friday, Smith resigned from the Acadamy.

15 Octobre 2012
October 14, 2012
By TOMOKO OTAKE
Nanohana Seikyo — a Chiba Prefecture food distribution cooperative with about 11,500 members — made headlines last month when it took on the role of David by suing the corporate Goliath that is Tokyo Electric Power Co. for losses in sales incurred as a result of the March 2011 nuclear disaster.
In its civil suit filed on Sept. 24 at the Chiba District Court, the co-op is seeking ¥22.91 million in damages from the utility company that operates the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
The amount being sought is minuscule set against the hundreds of billions of yen Tepco has already paid to corporations and individuals affected by the disaster — let alone the estimated ¥4.5 trillion that it, with massive injections of public money, is likely to have to pay in damages and compensation due to the explosions and reactor meltdowns at the plant, and the resulting releases of radioactive materials.
Nonetheless, the case is of crucial importance, since it raises the fundamental question of who bears ultimate responsibility for all the public anxiety over — and the loss of confidence in — food safety in post-Fukushima Japan.
Shinji Kase, head of the 38-year-old co-op, told The Japan Times in a recent interview that his organization had long sourced food from Fukushima, with the goal of delivering pesticide- and additive-free non-genetically modified foods to its members. However, to do this, he explained, it has been vital to establish long-term relationships with farmers in order for them and the co-op to work together toward the goal of delivering safe food.
Since the March 2011 disaster, Kase said Nanohana Seikyo — which has become active in the anti-nuclear campaign — had started independently testing the food it handled, including produce from Fukushima, applying radiation limits far stricter than those set by the government. Despite its testing, however, the co-op's sales have plummeted and some of its members have left.
"Around 50 members who had trusted us withdrew from our co-op, citing clearly their fears of radiation risks as the reason," Kase said. "Many more have quit without exactly saying why — but we think it's attributable to the disaster."
In its restitution scheme, Tepco already has a provision for compensating businesses that have incurred financial damage as a result of fūhyō higai — a term that means "damage from speculation or a bad reputation."
Nanohana Seikyo's current suit follows an out-of-court compensation claim it filed in November 2011 for ¥18.73 million to cover lost revenue and its extra costs due to the radiation testing. After examining that claim, Tepco paid a total of ¥10.51 million in January and April this year. In June, however, the utility informed Nanohana it was under no obligation to pay the ¥8.22 million balance since the co-op's loss in sales had no causal relationship with the accident, according to a letter from Tepco to the co-op, a copy of which has been obtained by The Japan Times.
Kase said he suspects that recent moves by other co-ops to file compensation claims made Tepco wary, and that's why it had taken that position.
What really enraged Kase about Tepco's move, though, was not so much its withholding of money but the way it rejected the claim — hence the suit now filed claiming damages from the utility, he said.
Specifically, in that letter from Tepco it was the following sentence that so offended Kase: "With regard to food products that your co-op deals in, when there is a possibility that (member consumers) will refrain from buying products and cause damage based on speculation that those products might be tainted with radioactive materials, your co-op has the option of taking preventive measures, such as sourcing your food from other suppliers," Tepco wrote.
In other words, as Kase regards it, Tepco was effectively telling the co-op, "If your consumers don't buy from Fukushima farmers for fear of radiation risks, you should get your food from somewhere else."
What's more, Kase said Tepco also hinted that Nanohana Seikyo's independent food testing was an extra frill that didn't warrant compensation. To support that claim he cited the following from that letter: "The results of your radiation tests show no radioactive substances have been detected in almost all of the foods. It cannot be judged, therefore, that the tests are absolutely necessary. It can be considered that you have been conducting (radiation tests) to allay your members' concerns as part of your business judgment."
Hence at issue here, as Kase sees it and has asked the court to rule on, is whether or not it is the responsibility of distributors to pay costs incurred when they try to meet consumer demand by monitoring food independently, because their consumers do not entirely believe the government's testing or its safety limit. And further, when consumers don't even trust the results of such independent tests, and stop buying food from safety-conscious retailers, who should be blamed?
So clearly, despite the relatively petty amount being sought, Nanohana Seikyo's damages suit raises major issues.
"Ideally, it should be Tepco — as a party that spread radiation all around — conducting radiation tests of food and making sure all foods are safe," Kase said. "If we change our policy and drop our producers (when our test results show their food is safe), we won't be ourselves — because we have long championed the idea of building trust with producers."
The Japan Times contacted Tepco to discuss the lawsuit and the issues it raises, but its spokesman said it had no comment to make.
The Chiba District Court will have its first hearing on the case on Nov. 27. A ruling is not expected until sometime next year.

After that, you pay through the nose. The Chef's Table was really great and worth the money. Highly recommended.
Verandah cabin satisfactory although bathroom very small and still with a tiny shower and curtain. Wonderful service from our cabin steward.
Public rooms very good. Entertainment ok but nothing to rave about.
Big negative - on this trip there were hundreds of children many of whom were not supervised undisciplined and unruly. Perhaps there should be a limit on the number as is on some cruise lines. We even had to call security when young teens were rumbling, wrestling at the dining table and racing through the diners. This More ruined the trip for many adults. Likewise, a pool attendant/ security lifeguard is recommended for the swimming pool for the same reason.
For families - go for it - but if you are mature or a honeymooner then try a more sedate ship. Less

Publisher description for Things I didn't know : a memoir / by Robert Hughes.
Bibliographic record and links to related information available from the Library of Congress catalog
Information from electronic data provided by the publisher. May be incomplete or contain other coding.
Robert Hughes has trained his critical eye on many major_subjects: from Francisco_de Goya y Lucientes (Goya) to the city of Barcelona (Barcelona) to the history of his native Australia (The Fatal Shore) to modern American mores and values (The Culture of Complaint). Now he turns that eye on perhaps his most fascinating subject: himself and the world that formed him.
Things I Didn’t Know is a memoir unlike any other because Hughes is a writer unlike any other. He analyzes his experiences the way he might examine a Van Gogh or a Picasso: he describes the surface so we can picture the end result, then he peels away the layers and scratches underneath that surface so we can understand all the beauty and tragedy and passion and history that lie below. So when Hughes describes his relationship with his stern and distant father, an Australian Air Force hero of the First World War, we’re not simply simply told of typical father/son complications, we see the thrilling exploits of a WWI pilot, learn about the nature of heroism, get the history of modern warfare — from the air and from the trenches — and we become aware how all of this relates to the wars we’re fighting today, and we understand how Hughes’s brilliant anti-war diatribe comes from both the heart and an understanding of the horrors of combat. The same high standards apply throughout as Hughes explores, with razor_ sharpness and lyrical intensity, his Catholic upbringing and Catholic school years; his development as an artist and writer and the honing of his critical skills; his growing appreciation of art; his exhilaration at leaving Australia to discover a new life in Italy and then in “swinging 60’s” London. In each and every instance, we are not just taken on a tour of Bob Hughes’s life, we are taken on a tour of his mind — and like the perfect tour, it is educational, funny, expansive and genuinely entertaining, never veering into sentimental memories, always looking back with the right sharpness of objectivity and insight to examine a rebellious period in art, politics and sex.
One of the extraordinary aspects of this book is that Hughes allows his observations of the world around him to be its focal point rather than the details of his past. He is able to regale us with anecdotes of unknown talents and eccentrics as well as famous names such as Irwin Shaw, Robert Rauschenberg, Cyril Connolly, Kenneth Tynan, Marcel Duchamp, and many others. He revels in the joys of sensuality and the anguish of broken relationships. He appreciates genius and craft and deplores waste and stupidity. The book can soar with pleasure and vitality as well as drag us into almost unbearable pain.
Perhaps the most startling section of Things I Didn’t Know comes in the very opening, when Hughes describes his near fatal car crash of several years ago. He shows not just how he survived and changed — but also how he refused to soften or weaken when facing mortality. He begins by dealing with what was almost the end of life, and then goes on from there to show us the value of life, in particular the value of exploring and celebrating one specific and extraordinary life.

5 Key Developments Taking Place in South Africa TodayNews
Here are the current events and influences impacting South Africa today
Exercise of Prudence: Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has expressed reservations about South Africa engaging in discussions regarding de-dollarization and the establishment of an alternative to the international cross-border payments platform Swift. Godongwana emphasized that South Africa’s trade is still heavily oriented towards Western countries, warranting a cautious approach. He pointed out that 75% of the nation’s foreign liabilities are presently tied to the United States and Europe.
Contribution towards Load Shedding: A total of ten memoranda of understanding have been inked between the governments of South Africa and China, encompassing the provision of emergency energy equipment valued at R170 million. This assistance encompasses generators, gasoline and electric vehicles, solar PV batteries, and inverters. President Ramaphosa highlighted that these resources would be directed to hospitals, clinics, and correctional facilities, thus alleviating the strain on Eskom’s demand load.
Support for Transnet: The New Development Bank (NDB), established by the BRICS alliance, is contemplating providing an R18 billion loan to Transnet for enhancing the efficiency of its locomotives and optimizing rail corridors’ capabilities. The bank’s objective is to finalize this transaction by year-end, thereby extending its portfolio in South Africa, which currently stands at $5.6 billion (R105.5 billion).
Crackdown on Construction Crimes: Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Sihle Zikalala, emphasized that law enforcement agencies are giving high priority to combatting activities of extortion, hijacking, and disruptions at construction sites. Zikalala mentioned that the government is in the process of setting up a dedicated call center to swiftly report instances of construction disruptions. This initiative aims to provide support to the law enforcement units responsible for addressing this top-priority criminal activity.
Market Update: The South African rand experienced a 1% surge on Tuesday, driven by a renewed appetite for risk in global markets attributed to declining US Treasury yields. This positive momentum coincided with the start of the BRICS summit of emerging economies in Johannesburg. As of Wednesday (August 23), the rand’s exchange rates were at R18.75/USD, R20.37/EUR, and R23.92/GBP. Additionally, the price of oil stood at $84.10 per barrel.

Home' Trinidad and Tobago Guardian : July 14th 2013 Contents B3
D y mm m
A B A A -A
Timmia Hearn Feldman starts
her director s note on the
programme for the play Fool
for Love with the word "Tabanca."
And yes, that s one way of looking at
this intense, riveting play---as a work
Tabanca, of course, is the "painful
feeling of unrequited love," as Lise
Winer puts it in her Dictionary of
English/Creole of T&T. What the
play s main characters Eddie and May
feel is indeed that agony of love lost
and now out of reach.
Yet the play is also an examination
of the nature of reality, the bridges we
build between absolute truth and nec-
essary fantasy---and what happens to
us when we blow those bridges up.
Hearn Feldman alludes to this in
the director s note when she writes,
"With this text playwright Sam Shep-
ard has taken reality and essentialised
it. He exaggerates the places visited
in love. I look at the story told by this
play as a metaphor: a surreal landscape
somewhere between reality and fic-
Shepard s script is set in a motel
room in the Mojave Desert where May
(played by Sindy Nurse) is living in
sober isolation. Her sobriety and soli-
tude are interrupted by Eddie (played
by Nickolai Salcedo), who bursts in
with liquor, sex and a gun, destroying
her equilibrium and forcing her to
confront their shared past.
That past is represented in the form
of a drunken old man (Errol "Blood"
Roberts) sipping rum in a corner of
the room. He is visible always but only
spotlit when he interacts with the
characters, bringing their past rudely
into their present.
I won t spoil the play by revealing
what that secret past is, but I will say
it s dirty.
Salcedo and Nurse both turn in
credible, nuanced performances of
these star-crossed lovers, but to my
mind it s Errol "Blood" Roberts who
steals the show. He has always had
impeccable diction and powerful stage
presence, and here he uses it to dev-
astating effect as the broken old man
at the heart of the play s tragedy. He
also embodies the reality/fantasy
dilemma, and when he talks about a
picture on the wall everybody in the
Trinidad Theatre Workshop (TTW)
audience turns to look at a picture
that isn t there, so persuasive is his
A canny Fool character s selling of his own fictions.
Credit also has to go to Arnold
Goindhan as the character of Martin.
Hearn Feldman directs him as a ghostly
character with nearly completely flat
affect, giving the audience a strong
hint that the character isn t really there.
However, once again we have to ques-
tion what is real and what is not; and
what these imagined realities drive us
to do and feel.
Visually, the play is arresting---for
example, Curtis Bachan s amazing
lighting design simulates a car turning
in the car park, the only sign of the
unseen "Countess" whom May accus-
es Eddie of seeing behind her back.
The director also uses levels and spaces
to good effect, having characters climb
on top of, lie on, and crawl around
the set s single bed; and having Eddie
throw ropes to tether the bed to the
wall as he and May are so cruelly teth-
ered to one another.
I also really enjoyed the play s
soundtrack, which is designed and
played by DJ Jayron "Rawkus" Remy.
Although one person in the unde-
servedly sparse audience last Sunday
remarked that they found the sound-
track obtrusive and overbearing at
first, I found it note-perfect from start
to finish. I loved how Remy found
songs to illustrate the emotional
cadence of the play, from Tracy Chap-
man s Sorry to Lord Pretender s Ille-
gitimate Children and the evocative
instrumental theme Total Agony from
the film Love, Actually.
In this play, which uses actors
recently seen in TTW s staging of A
Midsummer Night s Dream, it is clear
that the TTW is building a repertory
company again. I m pleased to see it
and look forward to more work from
Salcedo brings to his characters a
sexy, devilish energy that works well
in the intimacy of the TTW black box
theatre. While Nurse s effusive per-
formances are perhaps better suited
for a bigger theatre with more distance
between the audience and the stage,
she has been convincing in both parts
I ve seen her in so far. Goindhan has
been a staple of T&T theatre and I
find it gratifying for him to get material
to stretch his dramatic muscles.
Finally, I hope Roberts sticks around;
he has been missed on the stage as
one of the elders with real gravitas
and skill in our theatre fraternity.
Fool for Love continues at the
Trinidad Theatre Workshop, corner
of Jerningham Avenue and Norfolk
Street, Belmont, Thursdays-Saturdays
at 8 pm, and Sundays at 6 pm, until

INCLUDES RWS 4X32 SCOPE AND C MOUNT- $150 Value!
Save Money with the (Refurbished) RWS 54 Air Rifle- .177
cal with 4X32 Scope
A totally recoilless, spring piston airgun seemed little more than a dream
before the recent appearance of the Model 54. In order to realize this goal
the engineers spent years experimenting with different systems until they created
this mechanical marvel. Simple but durable, the 54 uses a floating action riding
on rails to achieve a totally recoiless system that stands up to the pounding
of our 1100 fps system. Not only does this arrangement prevent transmission
of felt recoil to the shooter, it also permits the rifle to excel in the accuracy
department. When the rifle is fired, the action moves back lightly within the
stock, absorbing the recoil, and permitting the pellet to exit the barrel before
any of the spring vibration affects its travel. This system dramatically improves
the accuracy potential of this magnum air rifle, making it a first class choice
for either long range pest control or the precise demands of field target shooting.
This side lever cocking magnum rifle's other features include adjustable trigger,
adjustable rear sight, scope rail, Monte Carlo stock with cheek piece and checkering,
and an automatic safety.

What happened to Lindsay Lohan?
We know she partied it up in Brazil - and even took a little tumble - but those are some rough looking bruises!
LiLo has been sporting them for a few days, but we would’ve guessed they’d be looking better by now.
But they’re actually looking worse!
Even LiLo’s teeny bikini can’t distract us from those bruises!
Whatever happened to cause that damage, we hope it doesn’t happen again.
Watch your partying in high heels, LiLo! (Just a guess!)

Lindsay Lohan has finally landed in Brazil…and she's brought a couple new accessories with her.
And not the pretty kind!
After arriving THREE hours late to an event she was getting paid BIG time for, LiLo finally made her way into the John John flagship store opening in Sao Paulo wearing a short glittery mini skirt and sporting some nasty looking bruises on her legs.
And not just one small black and blue mark, but several huge ones all over her thighs and hands.
What is going on here?? Did she get in a fight? Have a bad tumble?
She was all smiles during the mere 40 minutes she stayed at the event so it couldn't have been too bad, but then again, with La Lohan, you never know what you're going to get.

What is Team Foundation Version Control?
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Visual Studio 2019 | Visual Studio 2022
Whether your software project is large or small, using version control as soon as possible is a good idea. Version control systems consist of software that helps you track changes you make in your code over time. As you edit your code, you tell the version control system to take a snapshot of your files. The version control system saves that snapshot permanently so you can recall it later if you need it.
Azure DevOps Services and TFS provide two models of version control: Git, which is distributed version control, and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), which is centralized version control. This article provides an overview and a starting point for using TFVC. If you're deciding which type of Azure DevOps Services/TFS version control to use, see Choosing the right version control for your project.
Why use version control?
Without version control, you're tempted to keep multiple copies of code on your computer. This is dangerous, because it's easy to change or delete a file in the wrong copy of code, potentially losing work. Version control systems solve this problem by managing all versions of your code but presenting you with a single version at a time.
Version control systems provide the following benefits:
- Create workflows - Version control workflows prevent the chaos of everyone using their own development process with different and incompatible tools. Version control systems provide process enforcement and permissions so everyone stays on the same page.
- Work with versions - Every version has a description for what the changes in the version do, such as fix a bug or add a feature. These descriptions help you follow changes in your code by version instead of by individual file changes. Code stored in versions can be viewed and restored from version control at any time as needed. This makes it easy to base new work off any version of code.
- Code together - Version control synchronizes versions and makes sure that your changes don't conflict with other changes from your team. Your team relies on version control to help resolve and prevent conflicts, even when people make changes at the same time.
- Keep a history - Version control keeps a history of changes as your team saves new versions of your code. This history can be reviewed to find out who, why, and when changes were made. History gives you the confidence to experiment since you can roll back to a previous good version at any time. History lets you base work from any version of code, such as to fix a bug in a previous release.
- Automate tasks - Version control automation features save your team time and generate consistent results. You can automate testing, code analysis, and deployment when new versions are saved to version control.
There are plenty of things that can take up your time as a developer: reproducing bugs, learning new tools, and adding new features or content. As the demands of your users scale up, version control helps your team work together and ship on time.
Team Foundation Version Control
TFVC is a centralized version control system. Typically, team members have only one version of each file on their development machines. Historical data is maintained only on the server. Branches are path-based and created on the server.
TFVC lets you apply granular permissions and restrict access down to a file level. Because your team checks all its work into Azure DevOps Server, you can easily audit changes and identify which user checked in a changeset. By using compare and annotate, you can identify the exact changes that they made.
Get started by creating a project, configuring your workspace, and reviewing and sharing your code. You can use any one of these clients or IDEs:
Learn the basics of working in TFVC with the following tutorial, which shows a day in the life of a DevOps developer using Visual Studio and TFVC.
- Day in the life of a DevOps developer: suspend work, fix a bug, and conduct a code review
- Visual Studio: Review code
What do you want to do?
Spend a few minutes to set up your development machine to take advantage of all the benefits of a version-controlled codebase.
Server workspaces - Before making changes, team members publicly check out files. Most operations require developers to be connected to the server. This system facilitates locking workflows. Other systems that work this way include Visual Source Safe, Perforce, and CVS. With server workspaces, you can scale up to very large codebases with millions of files per branch and large binary files.
Local workspaces - Each team member takes a copy of the latest version of the codebase with them and works offline as needed. Developers check in their changes and resolve conflicts as necessary. Another system that works this way is Subversion.
You don't have to think about version control in most situations. The system supports you when you need to manage and understand your changes.
Sometimes you need to set aside some or all of the work you are doing. Your version control system can take away some of the pain and reduce the time wasted by interruptions.
Check in your changes so your team can build upon, test, and release the value you've created.
Use branches and locks to isolate risk introduced by work done by different teams.
One advantage of a version control system is that you can look back in time to get detailed information about what changes have been made to your files.
You can compare server folders and local folders to each other, and view the differences between the contents of each folder.
A big advantage of using version control is that several people can work concurrently on a file. One drawback is that sometimes you must resolve conflicts. Although it can be frustrating to encounter conflicts, the system provides information and tools to help you understand and resolve conflicts.
When you need to prevent a file or folder from being checked out and altered, you can lock it.
Operations available only from the tf command line

After a childhood full of half written ‘novels’, Martha’s intense love of books, storytelling and drawing eventually evolved into a passion for illustration, stopping along the way to get a degree in animation in 2010.
Inspired by illustrators such as James Jean, Aubrey Beardsley and Arthur Rackham, and the wonderful animator Dudok de Wit, much of her work is figurative, as people and their experiences fascinate her.
Although adept at using digital techniques, she has a particular fondness for inks, acrylics, fineliner pens and 2b pencils, creating interesting and varied illustrations and communicating ideas, stories and emotions through these.
Based in Bristol (UK), she has recently been working on a number of animation productions including Aardman’s “Itch of the Golden Nit” and has been building her personal illustration practice. Her work will soon be shown in a number of group exhibitions and she is developing her current collection of illustrations based on the concept of what lies under ‘the surface’. She is very pleased to be able to step out of her home studio bubble and join Drawn in Bristol.

What is the best thing that I love about my work? Inspiring people by expressing myself.
What is my idea of perfect happiness? To me, perfect happiness is reaching the state of confidence in one’s self and in the universe, that all is perfect in every moment. It is also doing a job you love, achieving goals you set for yourself, in a place you love, with people you love surrounding you, but I think the first one leads to the other.
What is my greatest fear? To be on the day of my death and regret not having tried everything I could to make my dreams come true
What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? My constant doubts that lead me to want to control things too much sometimes, but I’m learning !
What is my greatest extravagance? Probably clothes…but everything really, I don’t like to count.
On what occasion would I lie? When it won’t help anyone to tell the truth.
What is the influence of role models, in my work and in my life? I never found a true role model, but many people inspire me in different ways. Some actors have set for me a technique goal that I would like to obtain, some spiritual leaders help me understand what kind of serenity I want to attain.
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? Auditioning. Definitely auditioning.
When and where was I the happiest, in my work? I think it must have been every time I finished the Sister Mary Robert solo in Sister Act at the Theatre Mogador in Paris, with the incredible wave of applause that followed. That and my very first premiere as a principal role on stage, at the Casino de Paris, when I was still an engineer.
If I could, what would I change about myself? Oh there are tons of imperfections in me; I think I’d rather accept them all. I would change my constant doubting about myself.
What is my greatest achievement in work? Being chosen by Roman Polanski to be the leading lady in a Musical directed by him at the Theatre Mogador in Paris, and shooting Beauty and the Beast in London the same year, as a Village lass in love with Gaston (my second favorite part after Belle).
What is my most inspirational location, in my city? Any street around Covent Garden, but lately I’ve found a lot of inspiration in Battersea Park.
What is my favourite place to eat and drink, in my city? With someone I love, I don’t really care where
Who is my greatest fan, sponsor, partner in crime? I have a few very special people in my life who support me, and I support them. They’re like my angels.
Whom would I like to work with in the future? Tom Ford, Roman Polanski but in a film this time, Melanie Laurent as a director, Tom Hooper, Steven Spielberg, Luc Besson, Tim Burton,…the list is very long
What project, in the nearby future, am I looking forward to work on? A feature film about someone who changes completely their very structured life in order to become free.
How can you contact me? Through my website www.rafaellecohen.com or my FB page https://www.facebook.com/rafaellecohenofficiel/, or Instagram/Twitter @rafaellecohen, or through my agents (contact details on my website).

Financial adviser and Forbes contributor David John Marotta says while he does not think the end of the world is nigh, he does believe many of his clients have legitimate fears about an impending financial and social disaster.
"I, along with many other economists, agree with many of the concerns expressed in these dire warnings. The growing debt and deficit spending is a tax on those holding dollars. The devaluation in the U.S. dollar risks the dollar's status as the reserve currency of the world," Marotta warned, reports the Washington Examiner.
"Obamacare was the worst legislation in the past 75 years. Socialism is on the rise and the NSA really is abrogating vast portions of the Constitution. I don't disagree with their concerns."
On a recent blog post,
Marotta noted that "those anticipating a financial and societal breakdown" advise storing food, water and firearms.
"Firearms are the last item on the list, but they are on the list," he wrote. "There are some terrible people in this world. And you are safer when your trusted neighbors have firearms."
He went on to say that there are other items that can be included in a so-called bug-out bag, a portable kit required to survive a disaster for 72 hours.
"A bug-out bag is a good idea depending on where you live even if the emergency is just power outages, earthquakes and hurricanes," he advised. "Be prepared. Especially because it keeps you from being scared."

Is Arctic Air Really Work?
Arctic Air is an evaporative cooling system that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It claims to cool the air up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used both indoors and outdoors. But does it really work?
The short answer is yes! Arctic Air has proven itself effective at cooling down rooms, large or small, and even outdoor areas like patios or decks. Its compact design makes it easy to move from room to room, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing burst of cold air wherever you need it most.
What’s more, its built-in fan helps circulate the air around the entire space for maximum coverage. Additionally, its water tank holds up to six liters of water and uses ultrasonic technology that turns water into a fine mist – providing hours of comfortable cooling relief without having to refill the tank too often. With all this taken into consideration, Arctic Air certainly seems like a viable option for those looking for an affordable way to cool their home or office without having access (or willingness) to install air conditioning units themselves.
So if you’re looking for something different than your typical AC unit but still want reliable performance with none of the hassle associated with traditional systems – give Arctic Air a try today!
How Long Does It Take for Arctic Air to Work?
Arctic air is an effective and popular way to cool down quickly in hot summer months. But how long does Arctic air actually take to work? The answer depends on several factors, including the size of the room you are trying to cool, how many windows there are, and what type of air conditioner you have.
Generally speaking, a standard window unit can cool a room within 15 minutes or so. Portable units may take slightly longer due to their lower power output. If your room has lots of windows or other sources of heat transfer (such as direct sunlight), it may take even longer for the Arctic air to start cooling the space efficiently.
Additionally, if your AC is old and inefficient or not regularly maintained, it could also be taking too long for it to get up and running properly. To ensure optimum performance from your Arctic Air system always make sure that all filters are clean and replace them every three months at least!
How Long Does Arctic Air Last?
The length of time that Arctic air lasts varies greatly depending on the season and geographic location. In general, Arctic air tends to last for between two and four weeks during winter months in areas close to the poles. For regions located further away from the poles, such as North America or Europe, Arctic air may persist for several days or even weeks.
During colder periods of winter—such as January—Arctic air can be expected to last longer than it would during a milder month, such as March. Additionally, during certain years when temperatures are lower than average, Arctic air could potentially remain over an area for more extended periods of time.
Can You Put Ice Cubes in Arctic Air?
Yes, you can put ice cubes in your Arctic Air. This is because the Arctic Air cooler relies on a process known as evaporation to cool down the air around it. When water evaporates, it takes some of its heat with it and this helps create an environment that is much colder than the surrounding area.
Adding ice cubes to your Arctic Air will help speed up this cooling process by providing more moisture for evaporation and thus making things even colder! However, be aware that adding too many ice cubes may cause condensation inside the cooler which could lead to a buildup of frost or even freezing temperatures within the unit itself. So use caution when adding these cubes to your Arctic Air and always keep an eye on how cold things are getting so you know when enough is enough!
Overall, the Arctic Air Amazon.Ca is an excellent option for anyone looking for a powerful and efficient air conditioner that will provide cool air on hot days. It’s easy to install and use, making it ideal both for at-home use as well as in businesses or commercial spaces. The low price point makes it an attractive choice for those who don’t want to break their budget while still enjoying the benefits of comfort and convenience that a good quality AC can bring.
With its reliable performance and affordability, this product is sure to be a hit with shoppers of all types!

In July of 2018, Karmel Larson and the Momni team joined the RevRoad family. It was among the first drops of what will grow to be a tsunami.
Within weeks, Karmel secured coverage on the Dr. Phil Youtube channel. The story about the global childcare crisis caught the attention of more than a million viewers, and soon local press took notice.
Moms from around the country joined as Momnis, apps were published, and a rivulet formed.
On Friday, the Momni team turned those first droplets into a roaring river. She and her team secured a total of more than $2 million in funding to aggressively develop new features and open new markets for caresharing around the world.
The round was led significantly by Tamarak Capital, a Utah family office, and was accompanied by investors from Utah venture service firm RevRoad and angel investors.
“Now the Momni family is getting bigger, bigger and bigger and I”m feeling so grateful today,” Karmel said during the signing celebration. “I am so grateful for all the support I’ve received as Momni has taken off.”
Larson was inspired to start Momni after learning about the global childcare crisis in 2017. The company released iPhone and Android apps earlier this year to help moms connect with one another digitally.
Momni’s platform connects moms’ existing network of friends they already know and trust. Most recently, the company was featured on the Dr. Phil Youtube channel.
Fighting back tears, Karmel expressed thanks to her first supporters — her husband and children.
“Brigham was our first investors and the secret behind the power of Momni,” she said, “And my children have sacrificed so much to have their mother be a part of Momni. Thank you so much for supporting their mother so other mothers can have childcare.”
Funding for Women-led Startups
Before the signing part on Friday, Karmel expressed gratitude to Tamarak for seeing the promise in her company.
“Statistics show that it’s hard for female startup founders to get funding, and I am encouraged by the overwhelming interest we’ve received to help moms worldwide support one another with a cutting-edge and network-based childcare platform,” she said.
“Few things are as socially significant as what Momni is focused on” said Nate McBride, partner at Tamarak Capital. “Momni is making a difference for families worldwide by harnessing technology to both improve the quality and accessibility of childcare in our communities — all while allowing Moms an additional source of income to improve their own lives. We have been so impressed with the Momni team, their product, and the impressive traction they’ve generated so quickly. They are a very talented team, working on a significant challenge, and we are proud to work with them in solving it for good.”
Larson considers Momni’s recent round to be an encouraging step in the right direction for female entrepreneurship, although female founders still encounter difficulty in raising funds.
A study released by the Boston Consulting Group and MassChallenge, a network of startup accelerators, found disparity in the size of deals as well. The average female-founded startup received $935,000 in funding, compared to $2.1 million awarded to the average male-founded startup. That’s despite the fact that female-founded startups performed better, bringing in 78 cents on the dollar in five years compared to 31 cents for men.
For Karmel, the funding is a sign of progress for women in entrepreneurship. But most importantly, it shows the power of what Momni will become.
“We are growing from a drop to a stream, to a river, to an ocean, to a wave, to a tsunami, she said, brimming with joy. “We will conquer the earth with this Momni tsunami.”
Momni is a revolutionary, sharing-economy tech company that seeks to link all moms everywhere for caresharing. Momni offers instant access to trusted care by mothers in your Momni Circle and community. The company works closely with the Momni Foundation to provide caresharing opportunities to women and families in the developing world as a solution to the global childcare crisis.

The Decorah Elks Club is contributing $3,000 towards the cost of sending 8th graders to Washington, D.C.
The Elks' Children's Committee applied for a so-called "Gratitude Grant" from The Elks National Fund and for a grant from The Depot Outlet in Decorah. Both applications were accepted.
The money received will be used to help fund ten 8th grade scholarships for the Washington D.C. trip. Scholarships fund half the cost of the trip; students are responsible to finance the remaining half.
