In the past, nonfiction writers often left all the design decisions to the editor, art director, and illustrator. But that’s no longer true. In many cases, authors now participate in conversations about a book’s design—format, layout, and art. Why? Because today’s most celebrated titles feature a synergistic relationship between the text and the look of the book.
When it comes to design, format is a good place to start. Format includes the size and shape of the books. Does it have pop-ups or gatefolds or other special features? Clever decision-making here can make for some great unexpected surprises. This could be as simple as using a tall, thin trim size for a book about trees, as Carin Berger does in The Little Yellow Leaf to all kinds of fancy features and devices.
Many spreads in The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According to Susy) by Barbara Kerley include tiny inserts with excerpts from a journal kept by the famous writer’s daughter. What’s Up, What’s Down by Lola Schaefer includes vertical spreads that contribute tremendously to the storytelling, and well placed gatefolds in Schafer’s Just One Bite: 11 Animals and their Bites at Life Size! give readers an accurate sense of the featured animals’ scale.
My favorite title in this category is a feast for the eyes, ears, and mind. Where in the Wild? Camouflaged Creatures Concealed . . . and Revealed by David Schwartz, Yael Schy, and Dwight Kuhn. Playful poems offer clues about barely-visible animals doing their best to conceal themselves. Kids love searching for the mystery creatures. Some they’ll spot, and some they might not. But no worries, all they have to do is lift a gate-fold to view the same photo with the background obscured so that the animal is easy to see.
Can you think of other nonfiction books with formats that directly contribute to the storytelling? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

“Human rights at local and regional level”
Graz, 3 December 2013
Presentation by Andreas Kiefer, Secretary General of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe
Andreas Kiefer : “People are holders of rights and not mere objects of governance”
(from left to right) Stefan Hoflehner, Gemeindebund, Renate Kicker, (ETC), Claus Starl (ETC), Andreas Kiefer, Secretary General of the Congress, and Martin Haidvogl, Chief Executive of the City of Graz
Graz, 03.12.2013 - « Local and regional governments are fully-fledged actors and stakeholders in creating conditions for the exercise of human rights in their communities and in ensuring their full implementation », underlined Andreas Kiefer, Congress Secretary General, at the Conference “Human rights at local and regional level”, in Graz (Austria), on 3 December 2013. “Because human rights are concrete, so is their realisation, which takes place not in an abstract legal space but in a concrete environment where people live, work and interact – in the environment of our communities, of our towns, cities and regions”, he explained. M. Kiefer underlined, in particular, the importance of training of politicians and civil servants, awareness-raising, benchmarking and setting up independent complaints’ mechanisms accessible at local level.
“It is clear that adopting “good laws” in parliaments is not nearly enough to guarantee respect for human rights. It is also the fact that today, national governments, through their human rights structures, have to respond to the situation already existing on the ground, and to interact with local and regional authorities on putting in place appropriate practices.”
He mentionned the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights concerning local and regional authorities which shows that the main alleged violations concerned Article 8 (respect for private and family life), Article 10 (freedom of expression) and Article 11 (freedom of assembly and association) of the Convention, as well as Articles 1 and 3 of Additional Protocol 1, dealing with the protection of property and the right to free elections.
M. Kiefer referred to the resolution 296 and recommendation 280 adopted by the Congress in 2010 which recommend setting up appropriate structures and developing procedures at local and regional levels to assess human rights situations, in particular in providing public services. The Congress now includes the human rights implementation by local authorities as an additional element in its monitoring visits in order to take stock of the situation in member States and to show good practice. In 2011, the Congress adopted resolution 334 including a specific methodology, which is based on the United Nations indicators, and selected rights – political, social or collective rights - which are relevant to the local authorities.
The Congress Secretary General also presented concrete examples such as establishing positions of deputy mayor responsible for the protection and promotion of human rights, setting up offices of local ombudsmen, or developing targeted strategies with evaluation. The Congress is currently preparing a report, which will be submitted for adoption in March 2014, which is a compilation of such good practices in Council of Europe member States and in other countries. The aim is also to see how they can inspire similar initiatives in other European countries.
“Today, our democratic system is based on our deeply-held conviction that effective democracy and good governance at all levels are essential for creating sustainable societies where people can enjoy a good quality of life and effective participation. Unconditional compliance with fundamental rights is a sine qua non of good governance, including at local and regional level. In other words, there is no good governance and no democracy without compliance with human rights. This interdependence means that respecting human rights also adds to the importance of the European Charter of Local Self-Government”, he concluded.

(This article contains spoilers for series four of Game of Thrones. They have been worded such a way as to not explicitly specify events, but if you’re not caught up enter at your own risk…)
It was never a sure thing that Game of Thrones was going to be a hit. It might be arbitrary now to consider a time when a show based on a series of high fantasy novels would be a tough sell but that was the world we lived in as recently as 2011. That the show has not only survived but prospered proves that Game of Thrones is the little epic that could and I’m glad because Season Four is the best season yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not easy to please in this regard. I’m a fan of the original books which means I’ll happily nitpick whenever I think it matters. My enjoyment of Season Two was almost squandered when a single character moment which even I will admit isn’t terribly important to the plot was not included in Blackwater, an episode so intricate and technically impressive that it is considered one of the defining hours of contemporary television. But I have no such complaints this year because for the first time it feels as though Game of Thrones has a real sense of identity and become its own property, rather than merely an adaptation of the source material.
A big part of Season Four’s success has been its willingness to surprise even book readers by giving definitive ends to minor characters. This fat trimming performs the double punch of giving immediate emotional gratification to both viewers and readers who have become attached to these background players in both mediums, as well as freeing the show up to focus on remaining characters in what still amounts to a remarkably crowded main cast.
To be sure, not all changes from the books are beneficial. Taking source material from books that are thousands of pages long and trying to condense their core stories down to ten hours of screen time is an impossibility and as a result the broad scope of many stories this year feel a little undercooked; the sheer length of Bran’s journey and Tyrion’s imprisonment simply don’t feel as if they’re given the proper ratio of screen-time necessary to impart to viewers how daunting their plight is. In spite of this it does seem as though extra care was taken with defining character moments. Whether viewers saw them coming or not, the signature ‘surprise’ moments have never before punctuated episodes with such clarity. In particular, last years Red Wedding had nothing on the duel between the Viper and the Mountain for my money as far as sheer gut-wrenching horror is concerned.
Season Four is also the year that Game of Thrones generally came into its own as an actual television show. With more willingness to let scenes breathe (such as the unbelievable tension of the Purple Wedding or the Baelish inquisition) and less reliance on checking in with all twenty seven main cast members every single week, the show feels like a more defined character drama that occasionally lapses into the fantastical or horrific violence to drive home a point about the world. And the increase in production values this season is nothing short of glorious. Combat suddenly has a real grit and fluidity that previous seasons lacked (if you were to ask me I’d say that The Watchers on the Wall blew the similarly locale-locked Blackwater out of the water in regards to technical prowess) and for a season finale that featured the two best showdowns we’ve been treated to yet, it was the music that stole the show, breaking away from the synthetic standard and presenting a weighty orchestra and robust choir.
Many of my problems are book quibbles but in the face of frequently excellent cast performances, truly brutal violence and writing with the capacity to be heart-warming and soul crushing in equal measure, my problems don’t amount to much. With the show fast catching up with the books, I find myself less concerned with the show spoiling my engagement in the novels than I have done previously. Game of Thrones stands on its own two feet rather than using the novels as a crutch now more than ever and I keep telling myself that, yes, “Winter is Coming” because not long after that so is more Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones Series Four is available to stream for free online on Sky Go in the UK.

FX News Today
Bund futures are outperforming and yields heading south, while Eurozone spreads narrow, as weak inflation numbers bolster hopes of further ECB easing. Pressure on Draghi to at least set the stage for a widening or extension of the QE program next week are mounting amid the uncertainty about the global growth outlook. Nowotny’s comments yesterday that even core inflation is clearly below target further fuelled speculation of additional measures, although the Austrian central bank head called for structural reforms rather than hinting at ECB action.
The Eurozone posted trade surplus of EUR 19.8 bln in August, down from EUR 22.4 bln in the previous month. Exports were up 6.0% y/y in August, versus nominal import growth of 3.0% y/y, although considering that lower oil prices are suppressing the nominal import bill, real import growth will have been higher.
Eurozone final CPI was confirmed at -0.1% y/y, in line with the preliminary number and down from 0.2% y/y in the previous month. The breakdown confirmed that the drop back into negative territory was driven by a sharp decline in energy prices, which were down -1.7% m/m and -8.9% y/y, versus -7.2% y/y in August. Core inflation remains much higher at 0.9% y/y, but as Nowotny highlighted yesterday, this is also considerably below the ECB’s 2% limit for price stability. So more arguments for the doves at the ECB although the amount of stimulus in the system is already substantial and while central bankers want to keep markets happy they also seem wary of additional action, especially as monetary policy alone can’t fix the Eurozone’s problems.
Main Macro Events Today
- Canada Manufacturing: We expect shipments, due today, to tumble 1.5% m/m in August after the 1.7% gain in July. A 3.6% plunge in exports values provides a compelling reason to forecast a pull-back in manufacturing shipments during August.
- US Industrial Production: September industrial production data is out Friday and we expect a 0.2% (median -0.2%) headline decline for the month which follows a 0.4% decline in August. This would bring capacity utilization down to 77.3% from 77.6% in August. The September employment report was weak and we saw declines in hours worked as well as employment in both manufacturing and mining which will likely weigh on the release.
- US Michigan Consumer Sentiment: The first release on Michigan Sentiment is out on Friday and should reveal a headline increase to 89.0 (median 88.4) from 87.2 in September. The already released IBD/TIPP poll for October improved to 47.3 from 42.0 in September and the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort survey is poised to average 45.0 for the month.

It's hard to resist a story about a cute pet, and we had several this year that were particularly popular. We also had less happy stories, such as one about a family accused of hoarding dogs, and an animal mystery — whether or not there really is a cougar roaming the North Shore. (No, not the human kind, the feline kind. .)
Here are our top animal stories from the North Shore Patch sites in 2012.
Is there a cougar out there?
By far the biggest animal story of the year has been the hunt for a possible cougar on the North Shore. With repeated possible sightings, there have still been no confirmed cougars in the area. Reports of a cougar peaked this summer, but there was one as recently as late November in Highland Park.
Owner finds dog after 4-month search
Evanston resident Chuck Duff lost Sparky, his 12-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, during a violent storm in April. After months of searching, he finally tracked him down in Chicago, where a family had taken him in.
Not a happy story. The couple's three children and 35 dogs were removed from their home earlier this month.
Doggy daycare center provides pool for pups
Never given a second thought to dog kennels? I don't care. Just watch this video of dogs playing ecstatically in the pool at Glenview's Carriage Hill Kennels. It will make you happy. I promise.

Kam Gottlieb is too allergic to own her own pet. So she decided to help those who haven't been adopted. After two years of fundraising, the 12 year old bought two dog treadmills for the Anti-Cruelty Society.
Northbrook nixes backyard chickens
Concerns about overall aesthetics and fears about attracting coyotes persuaded trustees to turn back a recommendation to permit more widespread possession of hens.

You need to arrange financing and close the sale within this time, or forfeit your earnest money deposit (or you may be able to pay for an extension of your sales contract). The selling agent’s commission will be paid by HUD but only if you make this a condition of your offer.
OK, so now I’ve established that asking prices of Louisville homes have not been on fire for the past two years. It’s time to move on to inventory levels of homes for sale. Back in December of 2008, there were approximately 3,750 single family homes for sale in the city of Louisville, according to recorded data points. That number grew to a high water mark of over 5,300 earlier this year before falling back to the most recent measurement of approximately 4,300 available units.
#1. Create a marketing/business plan for a 12-month period. Your plan can be simple, but it should provide a road map for your marketing. Project the number of atlanta luxury homes you want to sell this year and then determine your marketing budget. It should be at least 5% and rarely more than 10% of your gross revenue. Now you know what you can afford to spend. Any plan is dynamic and can change, but revising a plan is better than a knee-jerk reaction from a lack of planning. Don’t forget expenses like Realtor sales co-ops, model home expenses, literature, media, and point-of-purchase displays and plan renderings…
The practice has gone on for years in this country, too. Look at all the folks who live in travel trailers or recreational vehicles, traveling from one national park to another and following the seasons — or wind. Beyond the RV crowd there are many other examples websites groups and organizations espousing the wonders of affordable homes a small house.
Most individuals, would dismiss this idea, thinking, that a home that consists of this many advantages, must be too expensive. However, that’s not the case at all. These homes are very affordable. You can live a safe, healthy life of luxury at a very affordable price.
When we wrote this article, the basic purpose was to remove all the doubts regarding Cheap Homes from the minds of the readers and if this is the case with you, we have been successful in our efforts.

Now it will not renew the current contract for CEO Harald Krüger, when it expires next April. The company has just reported its weakest earnings in a decade, a reversal after performing some of the highest profit margins in the automotive industry for many years.
Krüger was elected to lead the company in December 2014 after his predecessor, Herbert Diess, left unexpectedly to take the reins on rival Volkswagen. In a statement to the press, he said: "After more than ten years on the board, over four as CEO of the BMW Group, I would like to continue new professional initiatives and leverage my diverse international experience for new projects and ventures."
It It is common for German companies to renew the CEO's contract one year prior to the termination. When BMW did not do this in April this year, it began to wonder that Krüger would set aside when the contract ended instead of logging in for another 5-year period.
BMW was once thought of as the leader in the far-reaching electric car field when it brought its highly innovative BMW i3 electric car to the market in 2013. But the company failed to capitalize on its early management as it struggled to find EV.
Krüger was "too careful", says Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the CAR Center for Automotive Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen The Star . "BMW couldn't use the head of a new generation of electric cars."
David Bailey, professor at Birmingham Business School, told CNN that BMW needed to accelerate the move to new technologies. "[Krüger has] has done a very good job over the last few years, but BMW faces some very big challenges ahead. They felt what it takes to bring in some new ones with the scale of the challenge."
It has not been lost in management or customers that the Tesla Model S is now the best-selling large luxury car in Germany, which is very embarrassing for BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. We can never know exactly how the changes in the market that Tesla has caused have affected the wealth of these companies, but there is little question it has directed the industry and forced the companies to confront the forthcoming electric car revolution faster than they might otherwise have done.

In addition to being hit with an antitrust penalty of $ 1.6 billion by EU authorities recently, BMW has been adversely affected by a rise in tariffs on vehicles being exported to China from the factory in South Carolina due to the wage war between the US and China. In March, it downgraded its profit forecasts for 2019 and announced a cost-saving plan that will trim $ 13.6 billion in costs by the end of 2022. The plan focuses on releasing some models and streamlining vehicle development.
BMW says it is rushing to bring electric cars to the market, but in truth, when the head of R&D says no one wants to buy electric cars, it is difficult to take such statements seriously. On CleanTechnica, we have said for a while that some traditional car companies may leave the business or be forced to merge with other companies as a result of the arrival of electric cars.
BMW and Mercedes have indicated that they will cooperate on the development of electric and self-driving cars, a sign that industry consolidation may already be taking place. Unless BMW can get back on track with the development of competing electric autonomous vehicles, it may even be the first traditional car manufacturer to go bankwupt – but that's probably not the last.

Study of electromagnetic wave diffraction by a dielectric coating and metal diaphragm over an endless waveguide antenna array
A study of the diffraction of an electromagnetic wave on a dielectric coating with a diaphragm over an infinite waveguide antenna array has been carried out. The metal diaphragm is located at some distance from the surface of the antenna array. The influence of the geometric dimensions of a metal diaphragm and its distance from the grating surface on the modulus of the reflection coefficient of the incident wave in waveguides is investigated. Dielectric coatings with different values of the dielectric constant are considered.

Lubricant additive supplier IPAC said last week that it has won two arbitration decisions against a former distributor and a former employee for misappropriation of intellectual property.
The Dublin, California-based company won a $1.1 million judgement against Black Gold S.A.R.L. for misappropriating confidential IPAC information in order to develop and sell products that, in the words of an arbitrator, could be called knock-offs of IPACs. The former employee, Jeff Melendez, was ordered to pay $55,306 for his actions.
Get alerts when new Sustainability Blog articles are available.
In a Feb. 26 press release, IPAC said it still has a related arbitration case pending against Steven Plitt, another former IPAC employee. Along with Black Gold co-owner Lorenzo Napoleoni, Plitt co-founded PXL Chemicals, the company described as selling IPAC-like products.
Monaco-based Black Gold is contesting enforcement of the award against it in Monaco, and Napoleoni told Lube Report March 5 that his company still denies the allegations against it and that the arbitration ruling against it was unfairly reached. Plitt also denied retaining confidential IPAC information or using such information to make PXL products. Melendez could not be reached for comment.
IPAC manufactures and sells lubricant additive packages. According to court documents, it entered a sales representative agreement and an exclusive distributor agreement in 2016 for Black Gold to sell IPACs additives. In March of 2018, the companies agreed to terminate the sales agreement. Two months later, IPAC sued for arbitration, complaining that Black Gold had interfered with its contractual relations and misappropriated trade secrets by forming PXL with the help of a former IPAC employee.
In May of 2019, after a three-day hearing, arbitrator Mark C. Dosker found in IPACs favor after concluding that, while the agreements between Black Gold and IPAC were still in effect, Napoleoni discussed with two IPAC employees, Steven Plitt and Jeffrey Crow, the possibility of forming a company that would compete with IPAC. According to a Nov. 9, 2019 ruling by U.S. General District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in the federal district court for the Northern District of California, Crow raised concerns that it would be difficult to form such a business without misusing confidential IPAC information, but Plitt and Napoleoni proceeded to form PXL.
Rogers ruling does not indicate whether these actions occurred before or after termination of the sales agreement, although it does state that terms of the agreement were in place.
The ruling notes that Dosker accepted testimony from an expert witness called by IPAC that PXLs products were so strikingly similar to IPACs products that they [could] be called knock-off products. Dosker also found that Plitt and Napoleoni formed PXL while possessing hundreds of documents with confidential IPAC information, including a password-protected document that Plitt emailed to himself detailing the identity, vendor, price and relative composition for each component in each of IPACs products.
Brad C. Weber, an attorney for Plitt, provided a statement saying in part, Mr. Plitt denies any wrongful retention of any confidential IPAC information. Further, no confidential IPAC information was used for the production of any PXL products.
Dosker ruled that Black Gold caused confidential IPAC information to be misappropriated to formulate, manufacture, market and sell PXL products and that this caused a decrease in IPAC sales. He ordered Black Gold to pay IPAC $687,703 in damages plus $406,000 in fees and arbitration costs.
Black Gold took the case to the U.S. district court, asking that the decision be vacated on multiple grounds: that the email Plitt allegedly sent to himself was not authenticated; that sufficient evidence of IPACs attorneys fees was not presented; and that Doskers findings were based in part on evidence that he gathered outside of the arbitration hearing.
Black Gold believes that [Dosker] acted in manifest disregard of the rules governing its jurisdiction, the burden of proof, the adversarial principle and violated the rules governing the freedom of trade, Napoleoni said in a written statement to Lube Report.
Rogers denied Black Golds opinion and confirmed Doskers award for IPAC.

Just a quick post tonight to share a Halloween layout that I did a while back. I have spent the last two days at the hospital with my fell. She fell and fractured her hip. However, I've been saving this layout to share with you on Halloween so here it is:
To create this layout, I used a technique that Kristina Werner highlighted a while back on Basic Grey's blog. As you can see, my page is a scraplift but I certainly plan to use this technique again. What a fun way to use up scraps or 6x6 pads!
Here's a closer look at the title and yes, I even hand wrote one the word "Just"!
Here's a closer look at some of the embellishments.
And, a peak at some quick journaling with the "who" and "when."

Finding the Best Freeze-Dried Cheese . . . and a Recipe!
Let’s talk freeze-dried cheese.
If you are planning to do any camping or backpacking, freeze-dried cheese is a great snack or addition to meals. And if you are building an emergency food supply, you can use this cheese for tacos, popcorn or to make your own cheese sauce.
With up to a 10-year shelf life, freeze-dried cheese can be a lifesaver if you are without power for an extended period of time (think hurricanes or earthquakes).
Another plus for freeze-dried cheese: it doesn’t take up refrigerator space, since it is shelf stable.
We tried out several brands in a blind taste test. Before we get to the winners, however, here is a recipe for that all-time favorite: mac and cheese.
Recipe: Mac & Cheese
- 3 cups macaroni, prepared
- 1/2 cup Augason farms cheese blend powder.
- 1/3 cup Augason Farms butter powder.
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 6 tablespoons Augason Farms low fat milk, prepared.
- Cook and drain macaroni.
- In separate bowl, mix cheese powder and butter powder with 1/4 cup hot water
- Stir until smooth
- Add prepared milk and cooked macaroni, stir until well coated.

Yuan Shao (袁紹; style name: Benchu 本初) was a major warlord of northern China during the chaotic civil war leading up to the fall of the Han Dynasty. Originally a member of the regular Han military bureaucracy, Yuan used the power and prestige of his family to carve out his own warlord state. He rose to dominate much of north China in the 190s before suffering a dramatic defeat at the Battle of Guandu.
Early life and career
Yuan Shao was descended from the noble Yuan clan of Ru'nan, whose members were from the 1st century onwards prominent in Han civil bureaucracy. Descended from the great minister Yuan An, his exact parentage is controversial. Yuan Shao's official biographies in Sanguo Zhi and Hou Han Shu name as his father Yuan Cheng, an officer in the palace guards who died relatively young. There is some suggestion, however, that he may have been the biological son of Cheng's younger brother Feng and was taken to be Cheng's heir since he had produced none himself. Yuan Shu, a cousin of Shao's, is said to have called him a "family slave".
Yuan Shao was probably born in the 150s at the capital Luoyang. Both of his uncles held the highest positions at the Han court and the two men took on the role of his protectors. As a young man, Yuan Shao served at the imperial court as a Gentleman. Following the death of his mother, the young Shao left the capital for a number of years, possibly returning to his ancestral homeland of Ru'nan. He is said to have associated with notable knight-errants such as Zhang Miao and Cao Cao. One particular story from Shishuo Xinyu describes a lawless incident:
- When Wu of Wei [i.e. Cao Cao] was young, he and Yuan Shao liked being travelling knight-errants. They saw someone's wedding and stole into the owner's garden. In the night they shouted, "There's a thief!" As those in the wedding chamber emerged to see what was happening, Wu of Wei entered, drew his blade to have his way with the bride, and then withdrew with Shao. They lost their way and became trapped in the hedges. Shao could not move. [Cao Cao] again shouted, "The thief is here!" Shao panicked but managed to extricate himself.
When finally Yuan Shao returned to Luoyang, he became known for his generosity and the number of retainers in his upkeep. In the 180s Yuan became the commander of a corps of the imperial guards and the chief of staff to General-in-chief He Jin. Upon the creation of the Western Army in 188, Yuan Shao was made one of its eight Colonels. His connections with the military forces at the capital and the influence of his family placed him in a prominent position when Emperor Ling died in 189.
Leader of the coalition
After the death of the Emperor, Yuan Shao was a chief ally of He Jin, who assumed leadership of the regular bureaucracy against the eunuch faction. He Jin had him promoted to become Colonel Director of Retainers in order to avoid a coup d'etat by the eunuchs. The post had judicial power over the territory surrounding the capital. When He Jin was assassinated at the Southern Palace on 22 September, Yuan Shao moved quickly with his uncle the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei to purge the supporters of the eunuchs. Then, with his troops and those of his cousin (or half-brother) Yuan Shu, he entered the imperial palaces and massacred 2000 eunuchs, causing widespread turmoil in the city of Luoyang. The arrival of the frontier commander Dong Zhuo and his army on the 25th complicated the political situation still further. Following a disagreement with Dong over the fate of the new Emperor, Yuan fled the capital for the eastern provinces. Dong Zhuo set up his candidate, the future Emperor Xian, on the throne and attempted overtures of peace to Yuan Shao, even making him Grand Administrator of Bohai.
By the beginning of 190, however, Yuan Shao was openly hostile. A coalition of regional officials and commanders from the eastern provinces elected him commander-in-chief and took up positions around Luoyang. Yuan Shao declared himself General of Chariots and Cavalry and camped at Henei, near a crossing point of the Yellow River just north of the capital. On 10 May, Dong Zhuo had Yuan Shao's relatives at the capital killed, including his uncle Yuan Wei and his cousin Yuan Ji, ending any chance of a reconciliation. Many members of the coalition against Dong Zhuo took up arms under the banner of avenging the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo had the emperor taken to Chang'an and a few months later, he burned Luoyang to the ground and himself withdrew to the west. The confrontation degenerated into a stalemate and the leaders of the coalition gradually lost interest in ousting Dong.
In 191, Yuan Shao took over administration of Ji province from the governor Han Fu and began building a warlord state from his headquarters at Ye 鄴. Soon afterward, he engaged in a general alliance with Liu Biao against other warlords - Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. In the winter of that year, he successively defended the integrity of his borders by defeating the cavalry forces of the northern warlord Gongsun Zan (公孫瓚) at the Battle of Jieqiao (界橋) with the use of massed crossbowmen. The next year he defeated Gongsun a second time, at Longcou (龍湊). Yuan Shao then turned southwest to destroy the Heishan bandits and remove the threat to his western flank. He advanced into their mountain strongholds along the Taihang Mountains and killed a number of their leaders. With the soldier of fortune Lü Bu on his side, Yuan also engaged with Zhang Yan and his non-Chinese allies.
In following years, Yuan Shao achieved considerable success in consolidating his domains and absorbing the smaller powers around him. In 196 his prominent in north China was recognized by Emperor Xian, who granted the position of General-in-chief and the title of Marquis of Ye 鄴侯. In 198 Yuan Shao advanced in force against Gongsun Zan and encircled his base at Yijing (易京). By early 199 Gongsun had been destroyed and Yuan held legitimate power over the four provinces north of the Yellow River. There were even suggestions by at least one of his lieutenants that he should take the throne for himself. Yuan Shao established alliances with the Wuhuan tribes of the northern frontier and turned his attention to Cao Cao, who had been consolidating his power in the south.
Both sides made preparations for a decisive battle and toward the end of 199 skirmishes were already being fought at Liyang, a major crossing point of the Yellow River. Cao Cao prepared his defenses around Guandu, slightly south of the river. Yuan Shao himself advanced in force in 200 and the resulting campaign is known as the Battle of Guandu. Heavily outnumbering Cao and holding large numbers of cavalry, Yuan's initial attacks almost overwhelmed Cao Cao's positions. A strike at Yuan Shao's supply lines later in the year however, brought the northern army to collapse. As his generals defected, Yuan fled across the Yellow River with his sons, leaving much of his baggage and men behind.
His first major defeat was also a decisive one. After Guandu, Yuan Shao lost the initiative and never regained it. In 202, he was again defeated, this time at Cangting , another crossing point on the Yellow River. He died soon after, on 28 June, 202, dejected and disappointed. His domains were left to his third son Yuan Shang , and the succession was a source of much antagonism. A rival faction under the eldest son Yuan Tan was openly hostile. Cao Cao was able to play them against each other and by 207 had destroyed the Yuans and conquered the north.

LAHORE: The much trumpeted 1992 operation clean-up in Sindh had actually been launched against the backdrop of the infamous ‘Major Kaleem kidnapping case’, when a serving Army major was abducted and tortured, allegedly by a group of activists belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (which was then known as the Muhajir Qaumi Movement).
While the MQM leadership has recently blamed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for the 1992 operation and asked him to apologise for the atrocities committed during his tenure, it remains a fact that the MQM high command had held at that time the military leadership responsible for the action, saying it actually wanted to avenge the honour of Major Kaleemuddin.
As a matter of fact, Major Kaleemuddin of the Field Investigation Unit (FIU) of the Army had been tasked to restore peace in the trouble-stricken Landhi area of Karachi. He was abducted on June 20, 1991, along with a few subordinates, while in civvies ñ the night when the MQM-Haqiqi led by Afaq Ahmed made an abortive attempt to take over Landhi offices of the Altaf-led MQM, called Muhajir Khel. This led to a bloody gun battle between the two MQM factions, killing many from both sides.
However, the Haqiqi group was forced to flee after the Altaf group unleashed all its fire power in the gun battle. A few hours after the abortive attempt by the Haqiqi group, Major Kaleemuddin was abducted from the Landhi area by armed activists of the MQM, who allegedly took him to a torture cell and subjected him to ‘mistreatment’. The Major Kaleemuddin kidnapping case is still described by many in the establishment as the bedrock of the subsequent military operations carried out against the MQM under the Sharif and the Bhutto governments. Altaf Hussain and several other MQM leaders and workers were subsequently accused of being involved in the kidnapping episode and named in the FIR registered on June 24, 1991. Altaf left Pakistan in December 1992.
But there are different versions of what exactly happened to Major Kaleemuddin. Some of the MQM leaders had claimed after the incident that the abductors were under the impression that MQM-Haqiqi leaders ñ Afaq Ahmed and Amir Khan - had returned to the port city at the behest of the agencies and that the major was present in Landhi to supervise the establishment-sponsored operation against them. During the court trial, many of the accused had claimed that since the major was in plain clothes, he was mistaken by them for a Haqiqi activist and subsequently roughed up. But as soon he had revealed his identity, the major was allowed to go.
However, according to the prosecution, Major Kaleemuddin, along with three other Army officers, was patrolling the Landhi area in an Army jeep when 20 armed youths took them hostage after seizing their weapons. The Army men were taken to a place called Muhajir Khel in Landhi where they were allegedly tortured and kept for seven hours and rescued when the police reached the place. The accused charged with kidnapping the Army officers and torturing them included Altaf Hussain, Saleem Shahzad, Dr Imran Farooq, Safdar Baqri, Nadeem Ayubi, Ayub Shah, Aftab Ahmed, Ismail alias Sitara, Ashraf Zaidi, Sajid Azad, Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi, Haji Jalal Asghar Chacha, Rehan Zaidi and Mohammad Yousuf.
Whatever the truth might be, the then-Army high command’s keen interest in the prosecution of the accused gave an impression as if the traditional martial pride of the Khakis - that nobody gets away with bashing up an Army officer ñ was at work. Gen Asif Nawaz had been the Corps Commander Karachi at that time who got promoted as the Army Chief in August 1991, right before the start of the military operation.
A special court for suppression of terrorist activities (STA), led by Justice Rafiq Awan, began hearing of the Kaleemuddin kidnapping case in March 1993 and delivered judgment on June 9, 1994. The court had convicted Ashfaq Chief, Javed Kazmi and Haji Jalal and sentenced them to 30 years of rigorous imprisonment, besides imposing a fine of Rs 20,000 each under the Pakistan Penal Code, the Hudood Ordinance. All other accused, including Altaf Hussain, were declared absconders and sentenced to 27 years jail and a fine of Rs 30,000 each in absentia.
Almost three years later, following the 1997 general elections and the subsequent decision by Altaf Hussain to join hands with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, all the convicted MQM leaders and activists challenged afresh their conviction and sentences before the Sindh High Court. Their appeal was heard by a division bench, which found the case as one ‘of almost no legal evidence’. Relying on the provisions of the Suppression of Terrorist Activities Act, 1976, the bench upheld on trial in absentia as well as the right of the absentee accused to file an appeal. Dealing with evidence, the bench observed that the eyewitnesses’ account did not inspire confidence and the evidence of the complainant was, in particular, full of contradictions.
The bench, comprising Justice Nizam Hussain Siddiqui and Justice Abdul Hameed, noted that it is difficult to believe, a group of 15 or 20 boys could disarm four trained soldiers. Therefore, all the accused were acquitted and three convicts serving their term were ordered to be released immediately. But it is interesting to point out that after AQ Halepota, one of the counsels for the MQM leaders, concluded his arguments before the court, the then-advocate-general Sindh Shaukat Zuberi submitted that numerous omissions and contradictions had been made during the trial of Major Kaleemuddin’s kidnapping and torture case and that he would not support the convictions of the accused by the STA court. The verdict came hardly a week after the then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif had travelled to London to meet Altaf Hussain.
To recall, the MQM and the PML-N had been coalition partners at that time, before finally falling apart following the assassination of Hakim Mohammad Saeed in Karachi. Major Kaleemuddin had subsequently challenged the acquittal of the MQM leaders and activists by the Sindh High Court. But the petition was dismissed as withdrawn by the apex court on August 13, 2007, mainly due to non-prosecution, as neither the petitioner nor his counsel had turned up.

Get In Touch
How Can We Help?
If you need any help, please
feel free to contact us.
The fundamental principles of the new national land Policy have been incorporated in the new land Laws [land law no. 4 and Village Act no. 5 passed by the Parliament in 199]. The new laws among other important aspects of land ownership recognize that all land in Tanzania is Public land vested in the President as a Trustee on behalf of all citizens.
Land classification in Tanzania
For the purposes of land management, the land is classified as General land, Village land, and Reserved land. The President as the trustee is the only one mandated for transferring the land from one category to another. Investors can obtain land from General land or from Village land. Land ownership is by means of obtaining the Right of Occupancy for citizens and for non-citizen investors may occupy the land for investment purposes through a government Granted Right of Occupancy, through Derivative Right granted by Tanzania Investment Centre, or sublease through a Granted Right of Occupancy. Right of occupancy and Derivative Rights may be granted up to 99 years and are renewable.

Loose Cannon: Marijuana laws going to pot
Tuesday, May 18, 20100 Comments
The Medical Cannabis Club of Guelph has been operating in plain sight for more than three years without intervention from author
Last week’s police raid on the Medical Cannabis Club of Guelph was an unexpected and, some might say, curiously timed event.
A month after a Toronto police arrested staff and volunteers at a similar facility – only to stay charges against everyone except the owner – Guelph police followed suit, charging Club founder Rade Kovacevic and three staff members with a myriad of trafficking and possession charges.
But the real confusion lies in the fact that the MCCG has been operating in plain sight for more than three years without intervention from authorities. This haphazard approach to policing pot raises questions about whether the cops are serious about controlling marijuana, or whether they’re just blowing smoke for the sake of appearances.
Since 2001, people with chronic or debilitating illnesses have been able to apply for licenses to grow or possess limited amounts of medical marijuana supplied by Health Canada.
So-called compassion clubs like the MCCG operate in a legal gray zone, growing non-approved marijuana for sale in a non-approved setting by individuals who, by and large, aren’t qualified to dispense medication of any kind.
Under the law, police had good reason have shut down the club immediately. Instead, they waited until a high-profile raid in another city brought attention to the issue.
If police were compelled by media exposure to look for trouble at the MCCG, they didn’t need to look very hard. Kovacevic, who police say is not licensed to grow marijuana, readily admits that more than half of the club’s 330 members don’t show Health Canada-approved documents when accessing his pharmacopeia of marijuana, hashish and edibles. Many clients brought in doctors’ prescriptions instead, which is technically illegal.
Now that police have confiscated the MCCG’s records, police could conceivably go after individuals who purchased marijuana outside the law, though I doubt they will. For one thing, arresting people with chronic illnesses makes for terrible optics. Secondly, many of the club’s members will be amply punished by having their supply of medical marijuana cut off.
But what is most bizarre is that Guelph Police directed untold resources to shutting down a local business – the club, located on Baker Street, even paid taxes to Revenue Canada – while doing little to address the underground drug trade in the city. Paradoxically, many club members say they plan to buy their pot off the black market until the facility reopens, if it reopens at all.
Protesters at a rally in downtown Guelph (some toking up in front of police) accused the cops of having no compassion toward medical marijuana users. I disagree: police seem to have ample compassion towards marijuana users of all stripes, just not ones who remind us that our marijuana laws are ridiculously antiquated, and thus routinely ignored by large number of Canadians.
Lest you mistake marijuana distribution as the jaywalking of drug laws, it should be noted that Kovacevic and his staff face jail time if found guilty. But, as with the Toronto Compassion Club raids, it is likely many of the more serious charges be dropped, for no other reason than judges have been throwing out cases against medicinal marijuana distributors for some time. Court cases, you see, are important PR for the War on Drugs: better to claim a small victory than suffer a humiliating defeat.
Meanwhile, the federal Conservatives have brought back a bill that would impose a mandatory minimum sentence of six months in jail for people convicted of growing as few as five marijuana plants.
It seems silly to tighten drug enforcement laws when police are reluctant to enforce the ones we have. Then again, very little about the War on Drugs makes sense.

Funny how things connect, for English writer Pearcy Lubbock was once a librarian at Samuel Pepy’s personal library collection kept at Cambridge.
Percy Lubbock and Henry James were good friends too, of course.
I wonder if he had any relation to Thomas Saltus Lubbock – founder of Lubbock, Texas?
When I began to write novels the most admired work of theory, where prose fiction was concerned, was probably Percy Lubbock’s The Craft of Fiction. In my view, as a critic of fiction, Lubbock is pretty much Henry James writ small.
