THE American soldier who killed aid worker Linda Norgrove ina botched rescue mission in Afghanistan "genuinely feared for the safety of the lives of his colleagues", a coroner said today.
David Ridley said the special forces soldier, who threw a grenade in the compound where the kidnapped 36-year-old Scot was being held, "had to make a critical decision in a fraction of a second, unaware of Linda's presence".
He gave a "narrative verdict" which means no blame is apportioned to any individual.
In a statement released after the verdict, Linda''s family said the inquest in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, had confirmed what they already knew.It said: "What we have heard today at the inquest generally confirms the account given last year at the briefing we received following the joint US/UK military investigation.
"A series of chance events all going the wrong way and an error of judgment by one of the special forces resulted in our daughter's death.
"She was a lovely girl, had so much to offer and was such a force for good in the world. We miss her terribly. The whole affair is a tragedy."
Giving his verdict, Mr Ridley said: "What I've drawn from this hearing is that the operative genuinely feared for the safety of the lives of his colleagues and also himself and had to make a critical decision in a fraction of a second, unaware of Linda's presence."
The inquest heard that false information that Linda, from Lewis, was killed by an insurgent was issued because the mission's leader assumed the captor had blown himself up.
Although it was 42 hours before the truth was revealed, no effort was made to cover it up, Brigadier Robert Nitsch told the inquest.
"It was a matter of deep regret to the US forces that it took 42 hours for the correct story to get out," he said.
Giving evidence at Wiltshire and Swindon Coroner's Court, Brigadier Nitsch said: "The team leader, in a previous tour of Afghanistan, has witnessed an insurgent blowing himself up in front of him. In his mind, that is what has happened here.
"(This was) one of the contributing factors why it wasn't confirmed until later that Linda was killed by this grenade rather than by a suicide vest."
Linda was seized during an ambush in Kunar province on September 26 last year.
Her inquest was attended by her parents, John and Lorna, wh live on Lewis, younger sister, Sofie Corns, 34,and eight-month-old nephew, Tom.
The inquest heard that visibility was so poor during the rescue mission her would-be rescuers could not see her.
It also heard details of how close the special forces came to achieving their goal.
British Brigadier Nitsch said a US soldier, named as team member five (TM5), had thrown the grenade as he feared his comrades were in danger and had been "thinking at a million miles a minute at thist ime".
The soldier was part of a team that ventured on to the hostile mountain terrain by helicopter at night on October 8.
The first time Ms Norgrove was identified as being there was some eight or nine minutes into the mission, he said.
But by then it was too late, as the action took place in just 59 seconds.
US troops shot and killed one insurgent as they came on to a terrace near the buildings.
The team then approached along a terrace later described by US Major General Joseph Votel, who also investigated what happened, as a"fatal funnel".
At this point Linda and one of her captors left one of the buildings, the aid worker stumbling as she went.
This was seen on an enhanced video of the operation afterwards but at the time the troops could not see that she was there.
"Linda was wearing dark clothing, there's no visibility and she's quite slight compared to the insurgent," Brigadier Nitsch said.
A US team member shot the insurgent, who fell down some steps. Linda also fell to the ground.
It was around this time that the fatal grenade was launched.
Mr Ridley described in his verdict how the US troops had come under enemy fire as they mounted the rescue operation.
A post-mortem examination revealed a bullet wound to Linda's right lower leg but this was found to have been caused either by the bullet passing through her captor or it ricocheting on to her.
It did not contribute to or cause her death, the coroner said,but was probably what caused her to collapse when her captor was shot.
The soldier who then threw the grenade believed that two insurgents the forces had shot may still be alive and pose a threat, hewent on.
"As a result of the blast, Linda sustained injuries incompatible with life," he said. "Linda's lifeless body was discovered approximately eight minutes later when one of the operatives checking one of the dead captors for explosives saw Linda's body lying adjacent to the wall of (one of the buildings)."
She was airlifted to Jalalabad airfield, where her death was confirmed.


Destroy the Neighbourhood is a lo-fi rock niche progression from Early Works Revisited.
The song was written and produced by Derek Evers. Additional production has been done by Evers, for the remaster.
Writing and Production Style
Destory the Neighborhood was originally produced with a heavy synthetic bassline. The Bassline is still there, but not as predominant in the tune. The lyrics follow a story of a man who is fed-up with political people.
The song as a whole is very grungy.
Missing Music Video
Evers had released an animated still music video, but later retracted, due to the video being too simplistic.

Macc Town boss Gary Simpson thought his side should have had more reward for their efforts at Lincoln City.
A heart-wrenching season for everyone involved with the club closed with a goalless draw at Sincil Bank, scene of the Keith Alexander memorial match earlier in the week.
And, while the final league match of the 2009/10 season had been relatively meaningless for both sides, Simpson was left deflated at not getting the three points from a win over his old club.
Lincoln were reduced to 10 men following striker Davide Somma’s red card for a butt on Macc skipper Sean Hessey.
And while Macc – who dominated the first half – couldn’t get the goal they wanted, Simpson was pleased with his squad’s final push.
"I thought we shaded the game to be honest," he said. "I told them to go out and enjoy it. I thought we played pretty well and kept the ball well, Colin Daniel has been out for quite a while and Carl Tremarco hasn’t played a lot of football because he’s been out injured and it was a case of as needs must.
"But their keeper’s kept them in the game with two or three unbelievable saves."

Wild Ed's Sweet Ceviche
It must be the time of year because I have received several requests for a Ceviche recipe. There are many ways to make it and you can change ingredients to suit your taste. The main thing is to use plenty of lemon or lime juice. Here is one of my favorite ways to put it together.
1lb Trout, catfish, shrimp or Redfish, we like to mix fish and shrimp – Scrape fish with a fork & remove membranes. Cut into small bite size pieces. Place fish in a glass bowl and add 4 oz of lemon juice, 4 oz of orange juice and 4 oz of lime juice. The orange juice is what makes this recipe a little sweeter than normal. Mix together and place in fridge for two hours.
Peel and chop 4 to 5 medium tomatoes
Chop 1 large onion
2-4 fresh seeded jalapeno peppers chopped, depending on heat index you desire
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 clove of fresh garlic chopped
Chopped fresh cilantro to taste
5 shakes of Tabasco
After fish has set in juice for two hours mix in the rest of the ingredients and put back in fridge to chill for at least two hours. You do not actually cook the fish as the citrus juice pickles the fish. I typically increase this recipe by just adding more fish. I have added 8 to 10 fillets to this recipe without changing a thing except for the amount of lemon, orange & lime juice I use. You need to make sure you have enough to “cook” the amount of fish you use. You can’t use too much citrus juice because if it has too much liquid then just drain some off before you add the other ingredients. Serve with fresh tortilla chips or fried sweet potato chips. Enjoy, Wild Ed

- 21 January 2014 | Surfing
Welcome to Salzburg. In landlocked Austria, the fourth largest city has a surprise for visiting surfers. What would you do in a 10-foot (three meter) wide wave? One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry about swell forecasts.
It's probably the narrowest wave ride in the world, but at the same time it's an endless one. Even the FlowRider will pump wider waves. The thing is, at least there's something to ride, and you just can't imagine how well this static wave is ridden.
The Almkanal is the oldest canal system in Central Europe and dates back to the 8th century. It connects the Old Town (Altstadt) of Salzburg underground, and it is 11 miles (18 kilometers) long.
In some spots, the Almkanal sees the light of day. And those exactly are the areas chosen by a group of hardcore Austrian surf enthusiasts to train surfing skills.
Quick carves, tail slides, mini aerials, 360s, and wipeouts. The Salzburg river surfers have learned to enjoy short and endless waves, whether it's cold or warm.
How would you perform in this wave? No matter what people say, surfing has it soul. In the Almkanal of Salzburg, the spirit of the waves runs endlessly, just like the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

As a big ol’ stinkin’ genre and horror fan, there are a few buzzwords that get my taste buds salivating in double time. And The Seventh Day manages to combine them all and thensome. The upcoming horror film from Fangoria (buzz) is being pitched as The Exorcist (buzz) meets Training Day (buzz), and comes from acclaimed writer/director Justin P. Lange (buzz), who recently turned heads with The Dark (buzz). And now, in the biggest buzz of all, Guy Pearce has been tapped to star.
“Guy Pearce is an extraordinary talent,” said Lange. “That rare combination of bona fide movie star and consummate artist. I can’t wait for audiences to see what he has in store for them with this role.” I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us either, Lange! From L.A. Confidential to The Rover to Memento in between, Pearce has indeed walked the rare line between charismatic star power and genuine, tension-filled unpredictability. While his exact role in The Seventh Day is being kept under wraps for now, the film sounds like it’ll be a bit of a two-hander following a veteran exorcist walking a rookie priest through his first day. And if I had to guess, Pearce will play the vet. And based on the Training Day comparison, Pearce will have quite the juicy role.
“This is a story about the rising spread of a pervasive evil,” continued Lange. “We live in an increasingly dark world, one where it’s difficult to know who to trust, or what to believe. It’s a scary time, and scary times call for scary movies.” Lange is really onto something — horror is having a bit of “a moment” these days, and it’s likely in part because of the reactions to the fresh horrors awaiting us all the moment we open our eyes. I’m excited to see the sensitive-sounding Lange flex his bigger-budget muscles after the talent evident in The Dark, and I’m especially excited to see Lange flex his “corrupt cop” muscles within the horror genre, too.
Check out the brief, utterly tantalizing synopsis for The Seventh Day below. And for more on Pearce, check out the trailer for his new A Christmas Carol FX adaptation.
A renowned exorcist teams up with a rookie priest for his first day of training. As they plunge deeper into hell on earth, the lines between good and evil blur, and their own demons emerge.

WASHINGTON -- North Korea is "seriously examining a plan" to launch a missile strike targeting an area near the US territory of Guam in response to US President Donald Trump's warning to Pyongyang that any additional threats will be met with "fire and fury," according to a new statement from Gen. Kim Rak Gyom published by state-run media KCNA Thursday.
The North Korean Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA) is "seriously examining the plan for an enveloping strike at Guam through simultaneous fire of four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range strategic ballistic rockets in order to interdict the enemy forces on major military bases on Guam and to signal a crucial warning to the US," the statement said.
The sudden escalation in tensions in the Pacific came after US intelligence analysts assessed that North Korea has now produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead, according to multiple sources familiar with the analysis of North Korea's missile and nuclear program.
Last month Pyongyang tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles, known as Hwasong-14, which it says are capable of hitting the US mainland.
In response to the missile tests, the UN Security Council passed a resolution imposing new sanctions. The resolution, which targets North Korea's international revenue streams, was passed unanimously after strong lobbying from the United States. The US separately announced sanctions on North Korea, alongside Iran and Russia.
KCNA said that a KPA spokesman had "fully warned the US against its all-round sanctions."
According to the KCNA statement, North Korea will have a plan to send Hwasong-12 missiles toward Guam by "mid-August and report it to the commander-in-chief of the DPRK nuclear force and wait for his order." Kim Jong Un is understood to be the commander-in-chief of the nuclear force.
The Hwasong-12 rockets to be launched by the KPA would cross the sky above Shimane, Hiroshima and Koichi prefectures of Japan, and would fly 3,356.7 kilometers for 1,065 seconds and hit the waters 30 to 40 kilometers (18 to 24 miles) away from Guam, according to the statement.
There is no indication from the KCNA statement that the Hwasong-12 missiles pointed at Guam would be tipped with nuclear warheads.
US issues new warning
KCNA published a wire criticizing Trump for having "let out a load of nonsense about 'fire and fury,' failing to grasp the on-going grave situation. This is extremely getting on the nerves of the infuriated Hwasong artillerymen of the KPA [Korean People's Army]."
The article goes on to state that "sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him."
Threat to strike
The latest threat comes on the heels of a previous KCNA report that North Korea's military was "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around the US territory of Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles.
Specifically, that statement mentioned a potential strike on Andersen Air Force Base designed "to send a serious warning signal to the US."
The base is one of two on the Pacific island, which are the closest bases on US soil to North Korea, and represent the westernmost tip of the country's military might.
Dubbed the "tip of the spear," Guam is a key to the US military's forward deployed presence in the Pacific and is home to thousands of American service members and their families.
Its importance has declined since World War II, given the creation of military bases in Japan and South Korea, says Carl Schuster, a Hawaii Pacific University professor and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center. Now it is essentially a staging area, which sees rotations of bomber groups coming through.

Now here’s a thorny discussion around art, value and vandalism. As I’ve mentioned before, there’s a long history of iconoclastic acts against artworks being undertaken on religious, political and aesthetic grounds. There have also been recent acts of vandalism as artistic statements, most notably the ‘Yellowism’ graffiti on one of Tate’s Rothko Seagram murals. The tension inherent in such vandalism is at the heart of what makes Banksy a powerful artist.
But what about an artist purposefully destroying another artist’s work as a statement about the art market and international ideas of value? This is what happened earlier this week when Miami artist Maximo Caminero picked up and dropped an Ai Weiwei vase on display at the Perez Art Museum. Caminero subsequently claimed that he did so as a protest at the money spent by the city and the museum on staging shows with international artists, while ignoring local talent. But, most crucially, Caminero also claimed that he was inspired to this act by the photo of Ai Weiwei himself dropping an ancient Han Dynasty urn, displayed directly behind the vases.
This is quite a statement for the power of an artistic message and for the significance of a good curatorial choice of object relationship. But there were two things that I found really interesting in the discussions that ensued, which both essentially revolved around different ideas of value.
One was a monetary question. According to the Miami New Times, Caminero was immediately contrite on learning the $1 million price tag of the vase saying ‘honestly I had no idea the vase had any value.’ This is surely a bizarre claim, as his protest was at the money spent on bringing in such high-profile art in the first place. It was, rather, the vase’s value as a historical artefact that seemed to upset him, precisely the reason that it is powerful in Ai Weiwei’s work.
By contrast, Ai Weiwei’s response was to emphasise the work as his property, which Caminero had no right to destroy. He told the BBC ‘He can drop whatever he likes to drop, but not other people’s property.’ Whereas, he argued, he owns the ancient Chinese artefacts that he alters for his works. Yet, others would see his own additions/damage as acts of vandalism, destruction of shared cultural property. With some irony, the recent Tate show ‘Art under Attack’, ended with a section on artists acting as iconoclasts. This combination of Ai Weiwei’s work and Caminero’s response would surely have been the perfect ending?
Is the destruction of art ever justified? Let us know what you think in the comments…


After dedicating over five decades to Canadian politics, Hugh Segal, a prominent figure, sadly passed away at the age of 72. Segal had an illustrious career in which he held various positions, such as serving as chief of staff to prime minister Brian Mulroney and Ontario premier Bill Davis, as well as being a senator and the principal of the University of Toronto's Massey College. He made significant contributions to Canadian politics and public service, and he was recognized as a prominent columnist, author, and commentator.
Former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal, originally from Montreal, passed away on June 10, 2023, at the age of 72. Segal was a highly respected figure in Canadian politics, having served in various roles throughout his career. He was known for his dedication to public service and his commitment to Canadian values.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau conveyed his grief over Segal's demise, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to serving the public and his remarkable skill in fostering unity among individuals. Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Leader, praised Segal as a remarkable Canadian and fondly recalled him as a discerning and sagacious person who consistently exuded positivity. Stephen Harper, the former prime minister, recognized Segal for his distinguished service in the Senate and his dedication to upholding Canadian values. Erin O’Toole, the previous leader of the Conservative party, described Segal as a genuine and passionate fighter for Canadian politics, whose absence will be deeply felt.
The death of Hugh Segal is a great loss to Canadian politics and public service. The nation's political landscape will be forever influenced by his diverse contributions, astute writings on Canadian politics, and unwavering dedication to serving his country.
During his career, Segal made significant contributions to Canadian politics. He served as chief of staff to prime minister Brian Mulroney and Ontario premier Bill Davis, where he played a crucial role in shaping government policies. He also served as a senator, representing Kingston-Frontenac-Leeds from 2005 to 2014. During his time in the Senate, he chaired the Senate committee on foreign affairs and international trade and was known for his thoughtful and principled approach to policymaking.
In addition to his political career, Segal was the principal of the University of Toronto’s Massey College from 2014 to 2019. He was widely respected for his leadership and his commitment to fostering intellectual discourse and engagement among students and scholars.
Segal was also known for his writings on Canadian politics. He was a prolific columnist and author, and his insights and analysis were highly regarded. His books, including “The Right Balance: Canada's Conservative Tradition” and “No Surrender: Reflections of a Happy Warrior in the Tory Crusade,” offered valuable perspectives on Canadian political history and conservatism.
Segal's contributions to Canadian politics and public service were widely recognized and appreciated. He was awarded the Order of Canada in 2003 for his dedication to public service and his contributions to the nation. In 2016, he was promoted to Officer of the Order of Canada, further acknowledging his significant impact on Canadian society.
His passing has been met with an outpouring of condolences and tributes from politicians and individuals across the country. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper described Segal as a great Canadian who served honorably in the Senate and stood up forcefully for Canadian values. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre remembered him as a thoughtful and wise individual who dedicated his life to serving Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlighted Segal's deep care for the country and his ability to bring people together.
Segal's legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Canadian politicians and public servants. His commitment to public service, his thoughtful approach to policymaking, and his ability to bridge divides will be remembered as his lasting contributions to Canadian politics. As Canada mourns the loss of this remarkable individual, his impact will continue to shape the nation's political landscape for years to come.

Na+ concentrations in endolymph must be controlled to maintain hair cell function since the transduction channels of hair cells are cation-permeable, but not K+-selective. Flooding or fluctuations of the hair cell cytosol with Na+ would be expected to lead to cellular dysfunction, hearing loss and vertigo. This review briefly describes cellular mechanisms known to be responsible for Na+ homeostasis in each compartment of the inner ear, including the cochlea, saccule, semicircular canals and endolymphatic sac. The influx of Na+ into endolymph of each of the organs is likely via passive diffusion, but these pathways have not yet been identified or characterized. Na+ absorption is controlled by gate-keeper channels in the apical (endolymphatic) membrane of the transporting cells. Highly Na+-selective epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) control absorption by Reissner`s membrane, saccular extramacular epithelium, semicircular canal duct epithelium and endolymphatic sac. ENaC activity is controlled by a number of signal pathways, but most notably by genomic regulation of channel numbers in the membrane via glucocorticoid signaling. Nonselective cation channels in the apical membrane of outer sulcus epithelial cells and vestibular transitional cells mediate Na+ and parasensory K+ absorption. The K+-mediated transduction current in hair cells is also accompanied by a Na+ flux since the transduction channels are nonselective cation channels. Cation absorption by all of these cells is regulated by extracellular ATP via apical nonselective cation channels (P2X receptors). The heterogeneous population of epithelial cells in the endolymphatic sac is thought to have multiple absorptive pathways for Na+ with regulatory pathways that include glucocorticoids and purinergic agonists.

"It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be."
Building a clean energy business is an essential component of the transition towards a sustainable future. As the demand for clean energy solutions continues to rise, the need for infrastructure investments to support these solutions also grows. Building clean energy infrastructure, such as solar and wind farms, green hydrogen production and export facilities, hydrogen pipelines and green ammonia production centers, requires significant investment and expertise. We invest in clean energy projects such as solar farms, green hydrogen and green ammonia production, storage, transportation and export facilities, and contribute to the transition towards a greener future while creating economic opportunities and driving innovation.
Developing clean energy projects is a critical step towards achieving a sustainable future. The increasing demand for clean energy solutions presents an opportunity for businesses to innovate and offer new technologies and products. From renewable energy sources like wind and solar to energy-efficient building designs and smart grids, the possibilities for clean energy development are endless. By developing clean energy solutions, we de-risk the project, secure the permits, advance the engineering to ensure robust and reliable assets, develop a realistic execution schedule, and drive bankability. We help address the pressing environmental challenges while creating feasible clean energy projects, enhancing the socio-economic opportunities for the communities.
We hire the top-rated EPC contractors, who play a crucial role in the development of solar farm projects, ensuring that the project is designed, procured, and constructed to meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency. As an example, in an EPC solar project, our projects team along with the EPC contractor is responsible for the design, procurement, and construction of the solar farm. The engineering teams determine the optimal layout of the solar panels, inverters, transformers, etc. During the procurement phase, the EPC contractor sources the solar panels, inverters, racking systems, transformers, battery storage and other components. Finally, during the construction phase, we manage the EPC contractor, who oversees the construction, installation and the commissioning and handover to operations.
By owning clean energy assets such as solar farms and green hydrogen production and transportation facilities, we not only generate clean energy but also save on energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. By owning clean energy assets, we future-proof our company's operations, as the demand for clean energy solutions is expected to grow in the coming years. We believe in achieving a balanced portfolio should include a mix of projects with varying technologies, geographies, and power off-takers to ensure diversification. In summary, our renewable energy asset portfolio has a project base in SE Asia, South Asia and Latin America and each of these renewable energy assets, offer financial and environmental benefits to investors and contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable future.
Overall, safe and reliable O&M of solar farms, green hydrogen plant and blue ammonia facilities is critical to ensure that these plants operates efficiently, maximizes energy output, and minimizes downtime. By following best practices for O&M, our facilities achieve the best in class operations, with KPIs met for HSSE, while ensuring the safety of personnel. Our subcontractor teams work on a variety of O&M approaches such as periodic inspections, condition assessments, remote monitoring, and by risk based preventative maintenance planning we ensure that the new energy facilities continues to function efficiently. Staff, including all subcontractors on site, are fully trained and certified on safety protocols, equipment operations, and maintenance procedures.

Exploring the genetic potential of locally adapted germplasm for drought tolerance: A case for cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp) from Malawi
Production of cowpea in Malawi is adversely affected by prolonged droughts partly due to effects of climate change. Lack of improved cowpea varieties for production in drought prone areas contribute to low yields in Malawi. Mr Punguani evaluated local cowpea germplasm in glasshouse and field experiments as a first step of identifying potential drought tolerant genotypes for use in future drought tolerance breeding programmes. In addition to the glasshouse and field experiments, the local germplasm was subjected to farmers'' selection for the identification of farmers'' accepted varieties. Findings showed the presence of genotypes which performed well under moisture stress condition in both glasshouse and field conditions. However, the most drought tolerant genotype was not readily accepted by farmers due to wrinkled seedcoat. Genotypes with drought tolerance and other desirable attributes should be used as parental lines in the National Cowpea Breeding Programme.

Sisamin is located on the southeastern tip of Sandaun near the border of Western province and Southern Highlands province.
The local people are building an airstrip themselves because seven months ago, they suffered a flash flood which destroyed the only link to the nearest airfield at Oksapmin and to make matters worse, the only health officer left because of lack of Government support.
The flash flood caused massive damage to food gardens while the only bridge link to Government service, four houses and the aid post that caters for at least 300 villagers were washed away.
It is seven months since the flash flood but there is still no sign of assessment on the damage being carried out by the Member Peter Iwei or his officials.
Does that imply that these people are not worthy of his services?
I praise the people of Sisamin in taking the initiative in building their own airstrip as this will lead to easy access to goods and services like health and education.
A note to the Member for Telefomin, please take time out from your busy schedule in Port Moresby to visit your people and see the hard work being done to improve their livelihood.

The Chinese Psychiatric Association decided that being gay is no
longer a disease in the third edition of its new diagnostic
guidelines published on April 20th this year.
This landmark event - and the subsequent attention given to
homosexuality in all kinds of media in which experts discussed the
decision as progress that brings China in line with most western
nations, which do not consider being gay an illness - has helped
Chinese to rethink the specific social phenomenon of
"Just several years ago, I thought homosexuals were something far
away. Now, they are coming out, and they are around us," said Wang
Li, a magazine editor. "Today, I am not shocked on hearing that one
of our acquaintances is a homosexual."
Research shows that same-sex love has existed in almost every
culture – even in animals – dating back to the very beginnings of
history. However, it is still not an easy job for mainstream
Chinese society to understand.
Historically, the social prohibitions in China that have surrounded
homosexuality have been repressive and almost universal. Though
there are no laws against homosexuality in China, Chinese gay life
has existed solely underground for years in a conservative country
that now faces an historic reversal of long-standing social policy.
Since it was a traditional obligation in China to bring offspring
to the family, homosexuality was considered a threat not only to
families but also to the society.
"Homosexuality used to be called a perversion," recalled one source
who asked to remain anonymous.
Being a minority sexual group, Chinese homosexuals have had to
remain isolated for fear of being punished. They have had to hide
their emotions; meanwhile having to behave like others. For many,
that has proved a psychological barrier. However, the past ten
years have seen changes, and the psychiatric association’s decision
removes a final official barrier to tolerance for gays and lesbians
The change reflects an about-face in China: In 1994, the Chinese
Psychiatric Association published a handbook stating its strong
opposition to the World Health Organization’s call for accepting
homosexuality. But in 1997 the Chinese government eliminated the
criminal category of "hooliganism." Thus China followed a similar
path to that of the United States: The American Psychiatric
Association "depathologized" homosexuality in 1973; however, it
wasn’t until 1986 that the APA removed all reservations about
Prof. Liu Dalin, a well-known sociologist from Shanghai University,
said: "The general public’s understanding towards homosexuality can
be divided into three stages: in the first stage homosexuals are
sinful; in the second stage homosexuals are sick; in the third
stage, homosexuals are normal. Now China is in somewhere between
stage one and stage two."
According to an Internet survey in 2000, the tolerance level of
Chinese people towards homosexuality has already improved a lot.
The following are the figures:
Among the 10,792 surveyed, 48.15 percent (5196) were in favor, 30.9
percent (3247) were against, 14.46 percent (1560) were undecided,
and 7.26 percent (783) were indifferent.
Chinese society has become more tolerant.
"Homosexuality is as common in China as in other countries," an
official at the American Embassy to Beijing said in 1996.
Back in the early 1990s, Prof. Liu Dalin conducted a sexual survey
in 28 cities of 15 provinces in which the results turned out to be
alarming to many in society: Among 20,000 selected interviewees,
0.5 percent of married urban residents, 2.3 percent of married
rural residents, and 7.5 percent of college students were
The explosion of new wealth created by the liberalized economic
policies of the last 20 years have given ordinary city-dwelling
Chinese a measure of personal freedom without precedent in their
According to one study, Chinese homosexuals have already reached
something between 360,000 and 480,000, the majority male.
far, there are no open areas for Chinese "tongzhi," the slang for
homosexual in China, but some bars and nightclubs have irregular
parties. Most Chinese homosexuals have to have their social life on
the streets, such as crossroads, washing rooms, parks, gardens and
public shower centers.
"While life was becoming easier for gay Chinese, the gay community
in China would likely remain unorganized," according to an article
in the New York
Though it is difficult for the outsiders to tell whether one is a
homosexual or not, it is easy for homosexuals themselves, according
to several interviews with homosexuals conducted by the author.
"Only a look is OK."
Now there is a national gay hotline as well as several social
groups, including a lesbian organization called Beijing Sisters,
according to some sources.
Also helping gays in China is the spread of the Internet. It is
estimated that there are hundreds of web sites for gay Chinese.
The Times article noted that, as in the West, gay men and
women flock to the big cities from smaller towns and villages for a
deeper sense of belonging and community.
While many gay Chinese still consider their sexual orientation an
affliction or malady like so many around the world, the younger
generation are brave.
senior student of Beijing Language and
Culture University openly declared to his dormitory mates "I am
gay. Why should I hide? I am no different from others."
But there is still a long way to go for Chinese gays and

I'm all for interesting prints and photos to go on clothes, and I think clouds are really pretty. Not only are there numerous shapes, but also the way the light catches them, and the time of day, make for some stunning illumination and colour.
The science of clouds, their different shapes and heights and classification, would take decades to go over, so I am going to be realistic and simply attempt a general explanation of how clouds form.
Aerosols are tiny particles in the air that water vapour collides with. In some collisions, the water adheres to the aerosol to form a water droplet that makes up a cloud. The cohesion between water molecules that I talked about in the cohesion-tension theory holds the drops together.
This happens when the air is saturated - it can't hold any more water. To saturate the air, you can either increase the concentration of water vapour, or reduce the dew point, the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. The warmer the air is, the more water vapour it can hold, so if you lower the temperature, it can't hold as much water vapour, resulting in condensation.
Below's a handy guide to cloud-spotting. Thanks, Met Office!

Bravo, Mr. Andersen! I think those of us who want a sensible approach to gun safety are going to be heard. Our numbers are far greater than those who adhere to "Molon Labe," but we have to make our wishes known.I ran across an interesting article the other day that suggested gun accidents should be treated as DUI's, and be prosecuted as attempted manslaughter or manslaughter, depending on the outcome. I think that idea merits further consideration.Gun Appreciation Day didn't go well from a PR standpoint, either. The big day was marred by five shooting in three different gun accidents. The good news is that nobody died. None of them were life-threatening injuries.

To the outside world, the Bahamas are an idyllic holiday hotspot, but for its residents, a surge in violent crime is turning these islands into one of the most dangerous places in the Caribbean.
Type 'Bahamas' into Google and it throws up pictures of beautiful beaches and luxury resorts. But there's another side to this holiday haven. Easy access to weapons from the United States along with the country's weak laws has brought a rise in violent drug and gun crime. "I don't see my country the same way I saw it 10 years ago. We sell it as a paradise. That's a sales pitch", says Jerome Sawyer, a well-known TV reporter. With elections coming up, the Bahamas government has to decide whether it supports popular public demands for capital punishment, or comply with the United Nations' demands for an end to state executions. With its economy almost entirely reliant on tourism, any worsening of the crisis could prove catastrophic. "If you drive through the communities, all the homes are barricaded. That's the fear that people live in."FULL SYNOPSIS

A limited-liability company ("LLC") is commonly referred to as a "hybrid" business structure, meaning that it shares characteristics of both a corporation and a sole proprietorship. It allows its owners to insulate themselves from personal liability for business debts, does not require the payment of separate business taxes (the tax "passes through" to its owners), allows for a great deal of flexibility with regards to its organizational structure, and is subject to fewer regulations and restrictions than are other types of business structures. Establishing such a company in Wisconsin is a rather straightforward process.

Before officially unveiling the wedge dowel roughly three years ago, Ikea spent several years tinkering with the development of something that would impact a wide range of the company’s products. The company saw improving its product line in terms of both longevity and ease of use as a key to retaining current customers and attracting new ones. Anna-Karin Sjogren, an Ikea’ product development engineer, admits to feeling a sense of duty to provide consumers with the best possible furniture.
“We are focusing a lot more on innovation than we have in the past,” Sjogren told Fast Co Design. “With innovation in general, it is about making more sustainable solutions so [a piece] can live with a customer longer. We make so much furniture that we have that responsibility.”
This responsibility — and loads of hard work, of course — took on the finished form of something that resembles a wooden screw. Gone are the days of fumbling with an Allen wrench as Ikea’s wedge dowel requires an incredibly simple assembly process. For something like a table, owners merely insert its legs into the tabletop before screwing in the metal inserts — for a four-legged table, just four total screws are required. The wedge dowel also makes it easier to keep Ikea furniture in tip-top condition in the event of a move.
“This demands modularity and flexibility,” Sjogren added. “That’s what we’re focusing our innovation on right now. It’s a product that looks simple and easy to understand, but it takes so much work for it to become nice, simple, and easy.”
Moving forward, the Ikea engineering team intends to focus on how the wedge dowel can be adapted to different materials — as of now, the dowels only work with its wooden furniture. Specifically, Ikea hopes to find a solution to the problem of humidity in markets like India or China. Because wood expands and shrinks depending on the amount of moisture present, a material (think metal) that could consistently withstand those elements is incredibly important.
