ICMP’s Chairman Ambassador Thomas Miller and Commissioners, including Her Majesty Queen Noor, former Prime Minister Willem Kok and Ambassador Rolf Ekéus met the Chairman of the BiH Presidency Bakir Izetbegović and the Chairman of the BiH Council of Ministers Vjekoslav Bevanda on a two day visit to Sarajevo.
The Commission members discussed regional cooperation with the President of the Commission on Missing Persons from Croatia, Colonel Ivan Grujic and his counterpart from Serbia, Veljko Odalovic, as well as the three directors of the Missing Persons Institute of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Marko Jurisic, Amor Masovic and Milutin Misic.
The Commissioners also met the members of the Steering Board of the newly founded Regional Cooperation Body which represents families from all parts of the former Yugoslavia. The family representatives expressed their unreserved support for the work of ICMP as a guarantor of non-discrimination and objectivity and called for continued international assistance to the process.
The purpose of the visit was to applaud the efforts of authorities in BiH and the region for the efforts in accounting for over 70% of the missing and to ensure that they remain vigilant in accounting for the approximately 12,000 persons still missing in the region.
“Your efforts here in the Western Balkans and particularly in Bosnia and Herzegovina have set the standard for how this issue should be dealt with. You have built high-level institutions that have demonstrated your commitment to search for persons regardless of their ethnic, religious or national origin. By developing an approach grounded in the rule of law you have sent a signal to the world that brutality will be uncovered, that the truth will be told. But you must not stop now,” Ambassador Thomas Miller said.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, ICMP’s Commissioners expressed dismay at the increasing politicization of the issue of the missing and the fact that the 2004 Law on Missing Persons has still not been fully implemented. Furthermore, they noted that they Central Records of the Missing Persons Institute should be verified without further delay. As the ICMP Chairman noted, “these delays only result in furthering the anguish of the families of the missing.”
ICMP was established at the initiative of U.S. President Clinton in 1996 at the G-7 Summit in Lyon. Its primary role is to ensure the cooperation of governments in locating and identifying those who have disappeared during armed conflict or as a result of human rights violations.
ICMP’s other commissioners include Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo, Ambassador Carolina Barco and Chairman Emeritus Mr. James V. Kimsey. ICMP’s world headquarters is in Sarajevo.

A tightened field vying for the Republican nomination took aim at frontrunner Mitt Romney in a fiery debate just days before South Carolina's presidential primary.
Before a raucous audience, the four candidates lagging behind Mr Romney in polls ahead of Saturday's key vote sought, and largely failed, to land damaging blows on the former Massachusetts governor.
Ex-House speaker Newt Gingrich, who is trailing in the battle to be the party's standard-bearer in the November election against president Barack Obama, came out swinging.
Mr Romney should answer questions about his time as a venture capitalist with a company called Bain Capital, Mr Gingrich said, after Mr Romney's rivals slammed him for buying out firms to leave them bankrupt and reap the rewards.
"There was a pattern in some companies, a handful of them, with leaving them with enormous debt, and then within a year or two or three having them go broke," Mr Gingrich said.
"I think that is something he ought to answer."
But Mr Romney hit back against the attacks, led in a kind of pincer movement between Mr Gingrich and former senator Rick Santorum.
"My record as the governor of Massachusetts and as the person that led the Olympics flowed from the fact that I had experience turning around tough situations," he said.
"That I worked in the private sector demonstrated a record of success."
He also pushed back at the prospect of Washington helping Europe deal with its crippling banking crisis.
"We don't need to run over to Europe to save their banking stem or to pump money into the banks in this country," he said.
The field in the Republican race has narrowed to five ahead of Saturday's vote, after Jon Huntsman, the former US ambassador to China, bowed out.
The most moderate candidate in the race, Mr Huntsman ended his struggling White House bid and called on Republicans to unite in support of Mr Romney, who has already won the first two 2012 nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Mr Huntsman's departure left hardened social conservatives Mr Santorum, Mr Gingrich and Texas governor Rick Perry, hoping the evangelical base in South Carolina will swing in their favour, along with Texas congressman Ron Paul.
Under pressure from Mr Gingrich and Mr Perry, Mr Romney was called on to release his tax records, and said he may do later in the year, but resisted making a firm promise.
Mr Perry meanwhile, in a foreign policy stumble, stood out in the debate for describing Turkey, a key US ally, as a state "ruled by Islamic extremists".
Mr Gingrich was able to stir up support from the audience, who at one point gave him a standing ovation when pressed on his stance to boost child employment.
According to a new CNN/ORC poll, Mr Romney and Mr Obama are in a dead heat, with the Republican taking a slight 48-47 per cent edge among registered voters, and Mr Obama ahead among all respondents, 49-47 per cent.
The president has the advantage over Mr Gingrich, Mr Santorum and Mr Paul, according to the poll.
But the president's approval rating slumped to 47 per cent from 49 per cent a month before.

With the arrival of Bristol being confirmed after an aggregate victory over Doncaster in the Championship play-off final, the number of Premiership clubs with multi-millionaire backers is on the rise, emulating the extraordinary amount of investment from private owners in Premier League football.
Newly-promoted Championship winners Bristol are owned by Stephen Lansdown, who also runs Bristol Sport, meaning he has a majority stake in Bristol City FC, and Bristol Flyers basketball team.
His £45 million investment Bristol’s home, Ashton Gate, has seen the stadium transformed into a 27,000 seater behemoth, one of the biggest grounds in the Premiership to rival that of fellow club Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road.
Yet with Bath owned by Bruce Craig – who sold his pharmaceutical services company Markern, for £975 million, Wasps owned by Irish business magnate Derek Richardson and Saracens co-owned by English millionaire Nigel Wray and South African billionaire Johann Rupert, a cluster of clubs is emerging in the Premiership that has far greater financial clout than the rest of the league put together.
As reported by Pundit Arena earlier this year, changes to Premiership rugby’s salary cap will mean greater allowances for all clubs, including two marquee players whose cost is outside that of the cap and newly-created international player credits that will mean clubs will be able to spend more depending on the number and type of players they lose to international matches.
Of course, for some clubs this will make little difference to them. Sale Sharks’ director of rugby Steve Diamond has previously revealed that the club do not currently spend up to the salary cap limit. For clubs without the luxury of generous multi-millionaire owners, they would be lucky to have the £6.5 million limit to spend on players.
With the changes being brought in, there is a real danger that a two-tier Premiership could be created and with that comes significant challenges for those clubs with less cash to flash. Player retention has always been a struggle for the likes of Sale, Newcastle, London Irish and even Worcester.
Saracens, for instance, have produced a number of quality players through their own academy structures, but likewise have brought in English talent like Charlie Hodgson, David Strettle, Mako and Billy Vunipola, Richard Wigglesworth, Brad Barritt, Chris Ashton and more from other clubs. England number eight Billy Vunipola left former clubs Wasps during their financial troubles to a more stable environment.
However, with Richardson on board Wasps have been transformed into a European rugby powerhouse. The recent signing of Australia’s Kurtley Beale and the fact that the club is linked to almost every major player available on the global market shows the kind of impact they are making on rugby’s domestic scene. Like Bristol, their new home is now the enormous Ricoh Arena in Coventry, able to hold up to 32,000 fans.
Even Richardson himself defended the importance of the Premiership’s salary cap (via The Daily Telegraph):
“There is no point in [the Premiership] being like Formula One, where you have your McLarens and Ferraris winning all the time. You need to have excitement and the fun and the competitiveness there as well.”
But the recent Champions Cup and Premiership play-off semi-finals show that perhaps English rugby is going down that route. The introduction of the Champions Cup format has essentially rewarded clubs with the ability to spend more on playing squads and as such create greater depth. Wasps, Exeter and Saracens all have significant individual financial support and all made the quarter-finals or semi-finals in Europe, as well as the semi-finals in England.
Even though Bath have had a season to forget, their dismissal of Mike Ford after his success at the club in previous seasons echoed the cut-throat nature of football’s Premier League. The worldwide rumours flying around about Ford’s potential successor mirrored those we see in the self-proclaimed ‘beautiful game’ every day.
With bigger and bigger names joining the Premiership, and with more and more allowances for the clubs to spend, the salary cap is slowly being eroded and there is a widening of the chasm between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’.
English rugby might not be so different to English football after all.

New research suggests the overall state of cloud security continues to improve at a time when more organizations rely on multiple cloud service providers.
A survey of 1,900 security and IT professionals published this week by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) in collaboration with AlgoSec, a provider of network security tools, finds only 11% of respondents said they encountered a cloud security incident in the past year. The most common problems encountered were issues with a specific cloud provider (26%), security misconfigurations (22%) and attacks such as denial-of-service exploits (20%).
When asked about the impact of the cloud outages, more than a quarter of respondents said it took more than half a day to recover.
Despite growing confidence in cloud platforms, however, security remains a major area of focus. Top areas of concern include network security (58%), lack of cloud expertise (47%), migrating workloads to the cloud (44%) and insufficient staff to manage cloud environments (32%). In all, 79% of respondents noted some kind of issue involving IT staffing.
In the report, 52% of respondents reported they employed cloud-native tools to manage security as part of their application orchestration process, with half (50%) using orchestration and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Chef and Puppet. Less than a third (29%) said they used manual processes to manage cloud security.
Less clear, though, is who within the IT organization is responsible for cloud security. More than a third (35%) said their security operations team managed cloud security, followed by the cloud team (18%) and IT operations (16%). Other teams, such as network operations, DevOps and application owners, are all below 10%, the survey found.
John Yeoh, global vice president of research for the CSA, noted that responsibility for cloud security is evolving within most organizations. Despite higher levels of automation, most internal security teams are struggling to keep pace with the rate of change in cloud computing environments, he said. That rate of change is only going to increase as organizations start to employ a wider variety of cloud computing platforms, Yeoh added.
Of course, the biggest challenge organizations encounter in the age of the cloud is the issue of shared responsibility for cloud security between organizations and their cloud provider. Application developers that provision infrastructure-as-code tend to make assumptions about the level(s) of security offered by the cloud service provider. In reality, the cloud service provider only secures its own infrastructure. Responsibility for securing the rest of the environment resides with the organization that deployed the application.
Asher Benbenisty, director of product marketing for AlgoSec, noted that responsibility also extends to the network infrastructure organizations rely on to access those cloud services.
The CSA report suggests cloud security is, overall, in much better shape today than it was just a few short years ago. Cloud computing may have even reached the point where those platforms are more secure than on-premises IT environments. The challenge, now, is making sure the policies and processes required to keep those cloud platforms secure remain in place.

THE AXE is expected to fall heavily at the Urban Development Corporation (UDC), which has a staff complement of 838 strong.
A senior executive at one of the largest public bodies in the country told members of a parliamentary oversight committee on Wednesday that significant cuts were coming at the corporation.
Donald Hamilton, deputy general manager of the UDC, said the corporation was taking steps to implement what he described as an "optimisation programme".
He said, in the last five months, the UDC has been moving in the direction of curtailing its losses.
The entity reduced its operational losses by 50 per cent, which converts into more than $200 million in the last five months.
Hamilton told the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee that the corporation had put in place a comprehensive team to identify cost-saving items. "We are also in the process of an optimisation programme, so we are looking at significant reduction in staff," Hamilton reported.

When fans last saw Emily on "The Handmaid's Tale," she was forcibly sent to the Colonies, which were described to be extremely terrible. And, according to actress Alexis Bledel, Emily does not have much hope of survival.
Bledel, who reprises her role as Emily in season 2, revealed as much while speaking to Entertainment Weekly. The publication also shared a first look photo of Emily working in the Colonies, a dreaded place where people are sent to die.
"Life in the Colonies is a last stop," the actress explained. "Emily does not have a great deal of hope for a future there; she knows her days are numbered."
Of course, living in the Colonies is deadly for a reason. As Bledel pointed out, survival there is impossible given the nature of their surroundings. And, while Gilead is far from being paradise, the Colonies seem to be much worse.
"Anyone in Gilead would be terrified to be sent to the Colonies," she said. "Everything from the soil the unwomen turn over to the water they use to wash is toxic in the Colonies, so a person's health begins to rapidly deteriorate as soon as they get there. They know they will die there, all the while forced to do hard labor without decent food to eat or clean living conditions."
But, aside from Emily's present, the character's past will also be explored, which means fans are going to witness some flashbacks to life before Gilead and the Colonies.
The story will also focus on the show's main protagonist, June/Offred, who is played by Elizabeth Moss. For her work, Moss won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series last year. And, it looks like she is headed towards another win as executive producer Bruce Miller previously described her performance in season 2 as "even better."
"The Handmaid's Tale" season 2 will premiere on April 25 on Hulu.

As well as the buildings the ‘Westray Wife’ was discovered, a lozenge-shaped figurine that is believed to be the earliest representation of a human face ever found in Scotland. The face has two dots for eyes, heavy brows and an oblong nose and a pattern of hatches on the body could represent clothing. The figurine can be seen in the Westray Heritage Centre.
The site sits within the sand dunes and is under constant threat from coastal erosion.

Protein is always a major element being used by humans to develop their muscles, bones and nowadays many skin care products also offer protein in them. Same is the case when it comes to raise your physical growth of muscles and also when you are looking for losing weight through natural mediums than cheap protein powder are mostly preferred by the health workers, body building experts and the athletes who have taken them with proven results.
Protein powders are taken before exercises and at times when your body is not in a state of excessive working because it increases the calories level that you might burn during your workout or which you had already burnt during your exercise or workout. Now the question that may bug all of us is that what are the side effects of protein powders? You might have used any product in past which might have resulted in serious problems afterwards e.g. Once I bought a pimple cream late in my childhood as it’s the age when everyone is suffering from pimple problem so when I used it for some days it resulted in some serious skin allergies because my skin reacted with the chemicals in a way which it was not supposed to. In our life we may have gone through such experiences and it’s the reason why your mind keep on repeating what are the side effects of protein powders?
Other possible side effects of a protein powder could be due to excessive consumption and without proper guidance. Our kidneys could respond very negatively to such diets and therefore it may increase the level of acidity in blood which may react with calcium in body and thus making bones weak. Once you are bones become weak than there will be no use of your big strong muscles and weak bones may lead towards injuries. For all those people who have kidney stones they should take more care about the daily intake of protein powders. Over consumption in such case will lead to severe pain. Therefore avoid excessive consumption and get a balanced diet plan for daily intake.
Side effects of protein powder can also depend on your age. As proteins are the building blocks for the muscles there fore they tend to increase the metabolism and many times doctors recommend them to the weak or old people as well but here you have to keep in mind is your body ready for any such dosage as after all it is our body who has to digest and extract the energy out of it.
Although protein powders are very important for building muscles but it quite clear that their excessive consumption by anyone can lead to severe complications. If you ever get any minor problem from the use of any of the protein powders than you must consult your doctor about the issue and surely he can recommend you some good daily dose of protein so that your body does not get any harmful effects of protein powders. You should know when to take protein powders on daily basis.

OR WAIT null SECS
The PDUFA date for Enhertu in the lung cancer indication is in the third quarter of 2022.
The FDA has accepted for review the supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) of Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have a HER2 mutation. The application has also been granted priority review.
The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date is during the third quarter of the 2022.
Enhertu is an antibody drug conjugate being jointly developed by Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca. It is currently approved to treat patients with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer and HER2 positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
“If approved, ENHERTU has the potential to become a new standard treatment in this patient population, offering a much-needed option for patients with HER2 mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who currently have no targeted treatment options,” Susan Galbraith, MBBChir, Ph.D., executive vice president, oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said in a press release.
The sBLA is based on data from the pivotal DESTINY-Lung01 phase 2 trial published in January 2022 in The New England Journal of Medicine and is supported by the phase 1 trial published in Cancer Discovery.
In the DESTINY-Lung01 trial, an objective response rate of 54.9% was as assessed by independent central review. The median progression-free survival was 8.2 months and the median overall survival was 17.8 months. The most common drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events were neutropenia, anemia, nausea, fatigue, leukopenia, diarrhea and vomiting.
Lung cancer is the second most common form of cancer globally. In the United States, lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer, with more than 236,000 new cases expected in 2022. For patients with metastatic NSCLC, prognosis is poor and only about 8% will live beyond five years after diagnosis.
Enhertu is also being studied as a nonotherapy across multiple HER2 cancers including breast, gastric, lung and colorectal cancers. Trials in combination with other anticancer treatments, such as immunotherapy, are also under way.


LONDON - Defending champion Andy Murray and last year's runner-up Novak Djokovic take Centre Court stage as Wimbledon gets underway on Monday with both men having points to prove.
A proud Scot he may be but Murray, who ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion when he cruised past the Serb in the 2013 final, finds himself thrust into the role of British cheerleader following England's World Cup football misery. Murray starts his campaign against baby-faced Belgian David Goffin, shrugging off any nationwide post-Brazil trauma, preferring to concentrate on a smooth start in the Wimbledon sunshine.
The 27-year-old, who has not made another final since last year's Wimbledon history-making title, also wants to put those who have criticised his choice of Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach firmly in their place.
"I think Amelie will help me. I've really enjoyed the last 10 days I spent on the court with her. It's been great," said Murray, who has reached at least the semi-finals on his last five appearances at the All England Club. Goffin, 23, is ranked at 104 and enjoyed a run to the third round in 2012.
That came just weeks after he recorded his best result at a major when he came through qualifying to make the fourth round at the French Open, before losing in four sets to Roger Federer.

S/African power utility refutes allegations against new CEO
APA-Pretoria (South Africa) - South Africa’s main power utility Eskom on Monday expressed concern at media reports on its newly-appointed interim group chief executive Sean Maritz, only days after his appointment.
“We have noted with concern recent media reports with unsubstantiated allegations against Mr Maritz. We plead that he be given a chance to lead Eskom,” the power utility said.
The media reports come after Eskom’s announcement on Friday that it had appointed Maritz to the top post. The Eskom Board announced that it has decided to rotate the current executives for this role to “ensure exposure” to the senior management.
Maritz was the utility’s Chief Information Officer and Group Executive for Information Technology before his appointment.
“The decision to rotate the interim Chief Executive position was taken with the approval of the shareholder [Department of Public Enterprises] to, inter alia, give exposure to another member of the executive team without compromising organisational stability,” Eskom said.
In June, it was announced that Johnny Dladla had been appointed to occupy the interim Group Chief Executive role.
On Friday, the power utility announced that Dladla would resume his role as the chief executive officer of Eskom Rotek Industries to make way for Maritz.

The Tenth Line
[ Introduction ]
Indie games have found tremendous success by being willing to take risks. The AAA devs are unwilling or not allowed to. Whether this means tackling sensitive issues like addiction and cancer or trying out new gameplay mechanics; the indie scene has flourished. First-time developer Elliot Mahan and his studio Sungazer Software have entered the market trying to meld the worlds of retro JRPGs and platformers with The Tenth Line. Let’s see if one man’s passion project is a journey worth taking.
[ Gameplay ]
TTL presents its branching world to the player via side-scrolling platforming sections in specific regions or towns. While not truly an open world, the game does have a relatively decent-sized world map that allows for some choice in travel but ultimately ends up feeling linear. Each of the playable party members has their own locomotion that requires a minute to get used to. Tox (Draconmage) can leap a little higher using his teleportation jump, while the princess can push and pull objects in the world to help others jump to certain hard to reach places or to open up an area that other can travel in. Tox even has the ability to alter his elemental focus to use different types of breathe to remove obstacles or attack enemies. While these inclusions do help break up what could become a monotonous slog, they also inadvertently highlight a giant flaw in the design. When finishing a particular area all three characters must be at the exit. So if you rush into an area and get to the exit you have to go back and move the other two characters through as well. While not gaming breaking it is an annoyance that is compounded by the lack of variety in combat.
Combat in TTL, like the design, is a throwback to the bygone era of gaming. Players familiar with the turn based attacks of the early Final Fantasy or Phantasy Star games will feel right at home. When it is the player’s turn to engage, they are given the option to attack, rest or look. Looking acts as nothing more than a scan revealing enemy HP as well as their strengths and weaknesses if known. Each attack requires the use of a specified amount of SP. SP is gained by resting and is also generated between turns. Learning how to coordinate your playable characters and their attacks is key to survival. Often times battles require patience and a bit of planning as enemies lay in wait off screen, indicated by highlighted exclamation point.
Knowing when to launch an attack that can damage a row vs one that isolates an individual or a column becomes increasingly important as the enemies grow in power. Additionally, defense is handled by the all to familiar dice roll behind the scenes, but players have the ability to press a face button (corresponding to each character) in order to put up an extra defense against incoming attacks. Along your journey, the ragtag group will encounter non-playable assist characters who can join in the battle. While initially exciting, the mechanic soon wore out its welcome as it became very apparent that this was not a fully fleshed out idea. Assist characters sit in the back and are not attacked. Instead after each turn they gain SP that fills a meter. Similarly, the playable characters do the same, with the results being a super attack capable of wiping a screen clear of danger. Again, while useful, it could have included the ability to train or level up your assist characters to offer a more well rounded approach to battles as you level up.
Leveling is one place TTL absolutely nailed it. The power flow board allows you to use loot obtained in the world (because it is useless otherwise) to manipulate a grid system similar to a game like Pipes or flow. You must connect power sources to new abilities by finding paths to them but also not blocking yourself from branching off in other directions. These same items are also used to level up base attacks, individual weapons in the case of Rik, and even the potency of the elemental breathe for Tox.
[ Visual and Perfomance ]
Visually achieved through the choice of a retro-inspired 32bit (Better than the ill-fated 32X) pixel art style. The characters have been created and fit quite well in this fantastical world inhabited by walking, talking Draconmages and archers that would give Hawkeye a run for his money. Unfortunately, the world itself isn’t up to the same level. The world ultimately looks and feels devoid of any real character. While not empty, towns feel more like a safe area to collect quests and hone your card playing skills. The character card art leaps off the screen, with finely detailed artwork bringing each of the playable characters to life as you navigate one of the many sub-menus associated with each character. Thankfully menu navigation is crisp, responsive and above all else easy to follow. This is also the case for the games platforming sections.
[ Sound ]
Audio-wise, TTL, is mixed bag. The music has its moments with some catchy tunes that while whimsical also have some depth to them with subtle instrumentation that harkens back to some epic RPGs of old. On the other hand you’d be hard pressed to find anyone scrambling to turn anything presented here into their ringtone. In game SFX are adequate and neither enhance nor detract from the game. Post fight quips are handled with handful of spoken dialog which breaks up the reading associated with classic RPGs.
[ Conclusion ]
While not breaking any new ground, The Tenth Line finds itself in an interesting spot. On paper this is a decent old school RPG. The story follows the familiar tropes of: racism, class-ism, friendship and loyalty but doesn’t strike out in any real new directions. The core mechanics work well and there is a decent time to be had.

Preparation work at the site of the new SES headquarters will start within days.MONIQUE PRESTON February 25, 2013 4:41am
Preparation work on the site of Echuca’s new SES headquarters is expected to start within days.
However, actual building work is not expected to be seen at the site until about March 18, when some pre-fabricated work will be moved to the site.
The building, to be located in the High St emergency precinct alongside the Echuca-Moama Search and Rescue and the ambulance station, has had to overcome several hurdles to get to the building stage, with the most recent a blow-out in the budgeted costs quoted by the cheapest tenderer.
Cobram’s G and D Godson Builders were asked to shave costs off their quote to get the project down to within the budget of $432,032.
This involved changes such as swapping from polished concrete floors to sealed concrete floors, Echuca SES administration deputy controller Bob Callander said.
‘‘Hopefully we’ll get a bit of action down there (at the site).
‘‘Things are on the move.’’
The building is expected to be finished by the end of April, with further car park work expected to be completed by the end of May.
‘‘It’s all dependant on budgets and money and what’s going on,’’ he said.
If all things go well, Mr Callander hopes the Echuca unit could be in the new building by the end of June.
‘‘We’d probably look at a month to relocate,’’ he said.
Mr Callander said he was looking forward to the unit having its new and bigger headquarters which will include an area to house the unit’s vehicles, trailers, rescue boat and other equipment, as well as a communications room, training area, turn out room, storeroom, kitchen area and shower and toilet facilities.
The 25m by 20m building is about a third to a half bigger than what the unit currently has.
‘‘We’ve been battling on this for three or four years now,’’ he said.
‘‘It has been a fairly long, drawn out process.
‘‘But we’re very happy.’’

Gold Intraday: End of Technical Rebound?
The three major U.S. stock indices closed up after opening lower yesterday, with Nasdaq rising 1.3%. The strength in oil prices pushed up energy shares, while the tech stocks also lead the advance. This maybe another signal that the coronavirus fears are fading and investors' risk appetite is returning.
From a technical point of view, intraday gold outlook remains bearish as shown on the 1-hour chart. It has retreated after touching a bearish trend line drawn from April 24, and has broken below a rising wedge. The level at $1,711 might be considered as the nearest intraday resistance, while a break below the nearest support at $1,689 is likely to trigger a further decline to the next support at $1,679. Alternatively, a solid upside break-through $1,711 would suggest an upturn and open a path to $1,722 and $1,730.


The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that cities can sue major banks for discriminatory lending practices that hurt low-income neighborhoods during the Great Recession, the LA Times reports. The court’s decision in two consolidated cases, Bank of America v. Miami, and Wells Fargo v. Miami, means that cities can be an ‘aggrieved person’ who can sue over the impact of housing discrimination on its property tax base and ultimately the city’s finances.
How can Pennsylvania prevent cities from fiscal crisis? Keystone Crossroads’ Emily Previti goes over seven recommendations from the grand jury investigating Harrisburg’s near-bankruptcy, including restricting local officials and employees’ ability to move between the public and private sectors, requiring companies to post a performance bond in order to secure public contracts, and requiring public bidding for professional services, and simplify related state law so it’s consistent among municipalities.
Philadelphia property values “jumped 5 percent from January through March, according to Drexel University economist Kevin Gillen’s home price index, the largest first-quarter gain since the index began in 1980.” Caitlin McCabe reports that the city’s still-hot market is driven by low inventory, high demand, and slower construction activity than earlier boom years.
Pittsburgh City Council is considering a controversial tax increase and issuing $100 million in bonds to kickstart financing for affordable housing. The Post-Gazette reports that the legislation, which is “designed to relieve a housing shortage among low- to moderate-income families,” would pay for the affordable housing trust fund to build and rehab ideally 700 affordable units each year but would increase the realty transfer tax from 4 percent to 5 percent.
Hidden City takes us to 51st Street and Lancaster Avenue, currently a hopping event hall that was originally home to the George Institute and Library. The Institute, willed by prominent Quaker Jesse George, “served as a community center where local clubs, organizations, and unions could meet and where low income neighbors received aid.” Since then, the original library has housed industrial tenants including a chemical laboratory, electronics supplier company, an auto parts retailer, a day care center, a neighborhood gym, and a printing and publishing office.
A Rand study focused on two neighborhoods in Pittsburgh found little evidence that the new supermarket in a ‘food desert’ directly changed dietary habits, the Post-Gazette reports. The study concluded that socio-demographic characteristics, including a person’s gender, education and family situations, played a large role in dietary choices, and that additional individual and environmental (food stores’ marketing and layout) policy interventions were also necessary.

For almost four decades, Magnum photographer Steve McCurry has travelled to and through Afghanistan, capturing the country’s vertiginous landscapes, its bustling cities, isolated rural communities, and its relentless experience of conflict, from clan and ethnic fissures to the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-1989) and the current U.S-led war in Afghanistan, the longest foreign war in U.S. history. McCurry tells TASCHEN about finding human stories in such precarious circumstances and about the close calls he has encountered along the way.
Can you tell us about your first trip into Afghanistan?
Well, my first encounter was in 1979, with some refugees in Pakistan, who were living [there] because their villages had been bombed. I didn’t really have any thought about going into Afghanistan but once they explained the situation of what was happening and they invited me to come in and witness this for myself, I decided to take them up on their offer and spend a couple of weeks there surveying the situation. What I saw there was shocking, it was village after village which had been bombed, destroyed. They were completely empty, and it appeared that there was a systematic attempt to empty the countryside of these people and drive them into neighboring Pakistan.
And it was quite a dramatic border crossing?
That’s right. I didn’t actually know these people I was going into Afghanistan with. They were all armed, we were going to this conflict area, and I went in without my passport. We just literally walked across the border. There was no communication or roads, there was no electricity, and it was quite a harrowing experience.I really wondered if I’d ever come back.
As I got to know the people, I became much more confident and comfortable and realized that they were sincere and honest and they were just simply trying to get somebody from the outside world to see what was happening and hopefully tell that story to the rest of the world. There was a sense of adventure… going into kind of unchartered territory.
So at that point nobody was really covering the Afghan situation?
There were very few photographers or journalists covering this story. The fighting was in mountainous, remote areas, so it wasn’t really something which was grabbing the world’s attention until later that year, when the Soviet Union decided to invade Afghanistan, bringing in thousands of troops, and it suddenly became this huge story around the world.
Can you tell us a little about how you first navigated the terrain? How did you get around and meet subjects?
I was always with a group of Mujahideen who helped me with traversing the landscape, and with food and shelter. They didn’t control what I was photographing or what I was seeing, but I really needed to be with the group. Otherwise you’re just by yourself without the ability to communicate. On more than one occasion, I was taken to be a Russian spy and that was a very uncomfortable situation, so I always needed to be with somebody who could help me. Otherwise, there were no maps, no GPS.
Did a clear picture emerge of what you wanted to find, to get to say, villages, the countryside, or cities?
I was interested in places like Jalalabad, I was interested in areas which had been contested, where the fighting was going on, where refugees were flowing out of the country, where villages were still being bombed. I was more interested in the human dimension of the story than the actual fighting. There was a steady stream of refugees every day flowing out of Afghanistan and – again - there was this systematic attempt to bomb all the villages so that there would be no support, local support, for the fighters. They felt that they could wear down the Afghan people into submission. So it was a real struggle to the death and to witness this first hand was really extraordinary. At night there was a steady flow of arms and ammunition flowing into Afghanistan, from Pakistan: thousands of camels and donkeys and horses, were laden with rockets and armament. It was quite a big production. I think that the US military spent three billion dollars plus to support the Mujahideen.
You would go on to return to Afghanistan on many, many occasions. Could you talk a little bit about what captivated you in the country? What was it that kept compelling you to revisit and explore the country?
Well, it appeared that this evolving story was moving very rapidly and I was thinking that in a matter of weeks, the story might come to a conclusion. So I wanted to go back and see the conclusion. Little did I know that it would go on until today. But once you get to know the people, the terrain, something gets hold of you. It’s something you become involved with and you want to follow and see how it develops. Every year there seemed to be a new chapter in the story, and, even till today, the story is not over. I mean, nobody knows exactly how this thing is going to end.
Tell us more about the country’s terrain.
Well, the whole landscape, particularly on the Eastern side, with the Hindu Kush, it’s very mountainous, very dramatic, with villages nestled into valleys. It reminds me of the Rocky Mountains, or Colorado or Arizona - really extraordinary, and really beautiful.
Were there occasions where you felt severely in danger?
I was at a hotel room one night when armed gunmen came into my room and stole all of my belongings. That was a bit frightening, knowing that any moment they could just shoot me. I was also stopped at gunpoint a couple of times, driving down the road. And then of course, being in so many different battles, where bullets and rockets and bombs were dropping all around. It’s a very dangerous place.
And what are your thoughts about Afghanistan at the moment? Do you have plans to go back any time soon? What are your predictions for the country? It’s very difficult to walk the streets, because you’re always worried about being kidnapped or taken hostage. When I was there the last time, I was there for three weeks and I didn’t see one foreigner on the streets of Kabul. Everybody’s been told that it’s extremely dangerous to be out on the street. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. And I only had one assistant translator with me, I didn’t have armed guards. So it’s a risk.
And if the situation changes, I think it will probably go more in the direction of the Taliban’s favor. The Taliban aren’t going anywhere. This is their home. I think it’s just a matter of time when there will have to be a political settlement, or they’ll eventually win the day.
Where do you see a distinction between photojournalism and art? How do you see yourself—and these Afghan photographs—in that context?
I see myself as much of an artist in the way I look at the world in my own particular way. Most of my pictures are not published in magazines or newspapers. They’re mostly in my books and exhibitions. I go where I want to, go to places that fascinate me, go to places that I want to learn something from and photograph and be with the people and see what these places are like. But I think that there’s a documentary element as well—documenting people and life. Even in New York, I wander around and take pictures. I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior, animal behavior, how people relate to the environment, how they relate to their pets and other animals, and for me the most enriching part of my life is wandering the streets of a village or city or the countryside and just seeing how people live. Just yesterday, I walked around Washington Square Park in New York City and photographed people reading on a park bench, performance artists, people napping, lovers in the grass. What ever people do, I think, is utterly fascinating, whether it’s in New York or Havana or Calcutta or Cape Town or Moscow. I see more of a continuity, more of a similarity, a kind of commonality of people around the world. Whatever race or religion, in the end we’re all pretty much the same.
You once said that you could summarize your philosophy in a nutshell: you need to be in the right frame of mind and be curious. Do you still stand by that?
Wandering and exploring and observing, your mind has to be clear. You get into this wonderful zone of being in the moment, the sounds and things you see, and that’s when I think, your observation becomes very keen, and suddenly you respond to things in the world that touch you, that have meaning, that are amusing, or perhaps sad, or somehow reveal something about the human condition.
This is the definitive retrospective of Steve McCurry’s work in Afghanistan. Marked by deep tribal, ethnic, and religious fissures, Khurasan, as the Afghans have called their land for the last two millennia, has had but a few hours of political unity. McCurry has curated over 140 gripping images from almost four decades of Afghan travels, depicting a seemingly blighted yet beautiful country with a rare and disarming humanity.

Drew Brees has further solidified his legacy as one of the most prolific passers in NFL history. During the Saints 34-7 win on "Monday Night Football" over the visiting Colts, the 20-year veteran broke Peyton Manning's record for career touchdown passes during the third quarter with a five-yard strike to tight end Josh Hill to give the Saints a 27-0 lead over the Colts.
He tied the mark in the second quarter on 21-yard score to Tre'Quan Smith.
Brees, who needed three touchdowns entering the game to pass Manning, now has 541 career touchdown passes (he hit Taysom Hill for a score in the third quarter, marking his 21st straight completion in the game) and counting, passing Manning's 539.
Brees finished Monday night's game 29 of 30 for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He also set another NFL record by completing 96.7% of his passes.
Tom Brady, also a 20-year veteran, is third all-time with 538 touchdown passes. Brees, Brady and Manning are also top-three all-time in career passing yards, with Brees passing Manning's career mark during the 2018 season. Brady after Brees set the mark.
Week 15 is in the books and there's a lot to go over, including a record-breaking night for Drew Brees. Fortunately Will Brinson, John Breech, Ryan Wilson and Sean Wagner-McGough are here to break everything down on the Pick Six Podcast. Listen below and be sure to subscribe right here for daily NFL goodness fired into your eardrums.
The 32nd overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, the 40-year-old Brees and an 11-time Pro Bowler and 2006 All-Pro. In 2009, Brees led the NFL in completion percentage and touchdown passes while leading New Orleans to its first Super Bowl. Against Manning's Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, Brees won MVP honors after going 32 of 39 for 288 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
A future Hall of Famer, Brees has led the NFL in completion percentage six times that includes each of the past three years (including this season). He has also led the NFL in passing yards seven times and touchdown passes on four different occasions. Brees also has five of the top-10 most prolific passing seasons in NFL history. His 5,476 passing yards in 2011 was the single-season record before Manning topped it by a yard in 2013.
After not starting a single game as a rookie, Brees has compiled a 160-111 regular season record as an NFL starting quarterback. He owns an 8-7 record in the playoffs while completing 66.3 percent of his passes in postseason play.
Brees, who is under the final year of his contract, has not publicly stated whether or not this will be his final NFL season. It's reasonable to think that Brees may consider retirement if he is able to win his second Super Bowl at season's end, making him only the 13th starting quarterback in NFL history to win multiple Super Bowl titles.

They found that race-related “preference” air filtration systems on digital relationships networks services cultivate racist thinking — specifically toward black colored ladies.
“Filtering out and about people based around rush is definitely a typical rehearse on online dating applications,” Lundquist taught The article.

Staunton, January 15 – The economic crisis is likely to spark protests across Russia this year, but such actions are most likely in Moscow, Kazan and Ufa, three regions that have been doing relatively well and thus feel the contraction particularly intensely, according to VTsIOM sociologist Oleg Chernozub.
In a presentation to the panel “Russia in Crisis: Political Risks of 2016” at the Gaidar Forum, the pollster says that “if in the fall of 2014, 16 percent of [Russian] homemakers described their economic situation as unfavorable,” that figure has now risen to 60 percent (ura.ru/articles/1036266773).
The sociologist adds that if Russians reacted to the onset of crisis with panic, then they calmed down and assumed that the difficulties would be short-lived. But by the end of 2015, they again began to focus critically on the crisis – and that shift presents serious risks for the Russian authorities.
According to Chernozub, there is a genuine “threat of the regionalization of social tension and, what is especially dangerous for the authorities, a worsening of the situation in well-off regions like Moscow, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.” Because people there have been doing better, they are especially upset now about doing worse.
Even if Moscow takes measure in the spring, it is unlikely that these will have much of a positive impact on public opinion in the short period before the parliamentary elections. As a result, in some regions, he says, United Russia can expect to receive far fewer votes than it did in pre-crisis times.
Other speakers added to this picture. Vladimir Petukhov, another VTsIOM sociologist, says that the level of trust in governors is around 50 percent, although Putin continues to be trusted by “almost 80 percent of respondents. That reflects the fact that “the population considers the economic situation separately and the president separately.”
Aleksey Zubets, a sociologist at Moscow’s Financial University, points out that 15 percent of the Russian population say that they don’t have enough to eat. He says that “practice shows that local protests begin when that figure reaches 16 to 17 percent.”
Dmitry Orlov, the head of the Agency for Political and Economic Communications, agrees that “protest regions” will emerge in Russia in the coming year. The only issue is whether these will remain separate or will link up and have serious consequences for the elections to the State Duma.
In his view, Orlov says, that won’t be the case. “More than that,” he adds, “the inertia of patriotic mobilization in 2018 will allow Vladimir Putin to again become president.”
But Mikhail Vinogradov, head of the Petersburg Politics Foundation, says that there are risks for Putin because all the protests and demonstrations will end with appeals to him. Over time, their very number may create problems for him. Yevgeny Minchenko of the International Center of Political Expertise agrees, especially if there are conflicts “within the Politburo 2.0.”
And all the analysts agreed that there may be problems for Dmitry Medvedev because he wears two hats: he is not only the head of the United Russia party which is trying to win support but also of the government whose policies have angered many Russians.

Maui's CRE Marketplace Begins to Stabilize
After facing a short COVID-19 pandemic-initiated recession in 2020, Maui’s economy posted a 2,500 job gain during the past year as the island’s unemployment rate decreased to 6.3% for December 2021. This is its lowest level since Maui’s government-mandated economic shutdown that started in March 2020 and since peaking at a record high 34% jobless rate in April 2020.
Much of this job growth resulted from a rebound in retail and accommodation positions during the past year. Maui’s jump in air passenger arrival counts, which nearly tripled in size from 791,700 to 2,296,276 during the past year, elicited rehiring efforts. Correspondingly, Maui’s hotel occupancy rates improved strongly from a year-to-date (“YTD”) December 2020 level of 34.6% to 60.2% for 2021. As a result, the average daily room rate jumped 31.1% to $536.17, and revenue per available room surged 128% to $322.70. Additionally, this surge in visitors produced $4.1 billion in visitor expenditures, which boosted retail sales and prompted many retailers to rehire employees.
The COVID-19 Omicron variant’s infection rate that surged during the end of 2021 and into January 2022 appears to have peaked. As a result, Maui County has lifted several travel restrictions and dropped requirements for patrons of bars, gyms, and restaurants to provide proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 tests for indoor service. The island’s retail, travel and hospitality sectors will benefit from this change and hopefully, continue to recover from the dramatic downturn in visitor expenditures during the past two years.

Cape Town - While government resources are exhausted to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, a pandemic of hunger is consuming the nation at a rapid rate.
Experts now fear malnutrition in women and children will stunt the future of the economy.
Statistics released by Operation Hunger indicated that 11.8 million (20%) of South Africans are expected to face high levels of acute food insecurity.
Chief executive of Operation Hunger, Sandy Bukula said that there had been a national intense focus on relief interventions, without integrating the people to long-term sustainable solutions.
“Hunger and malnutrition are detrimental, especially to women and children. While good nutrition is important for everyone, it is especially important during the 1 000 days between a woman’s pregnancy and her child’s second birthday. During the first 1 000 days, there is a brief window of opportunity to drastically improve a child’s development and long-term health.
“Malnutrition in this period is especially dangerous, resulting in irreversible setbacks including stunted growth, reduced cognitive development, and a predisposition for obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) later in life,” she said.
Bukula said that stunted children today lead to stunted economies tomorrow. Sub-Saharan Africa alone loses $25 billion a year because of poor nutrition. At a continental level, Africa loses about 11% of its GDP because of poor nutrition. In South Africa, 27.4% of children under five years of age are affected by stunting.
Centre Manager of Siyabonga Africa, Sarah-Jane Brink said that more than 50% of South Africans currently live below the breadline which means that they can barely afford food.
“This definitely affects the most vulnerable members of our communities such as our children. In the last two years, the unemployment rate in South Africa has increased. More than three million people have lost their jobs. Unemployment is a major contributing factor to ongoing poverty and hunger. Hunger affects children physically, psychologically and socially. They are not able to learn, socialise or develop normally, on an empty stomach,” she said.
Brink mentioned that South Africans can help alleviate hunger by supporting worthy organisations, through the My School My Village My Planet initiative, and while you are providing food for your household, you can be providing food to those who can't afford it.
“Share your grocery basket with a family in need or provide a daily lunch-box to an underprivileged child you may know or support job-creating initiatives that empower people with skills and opportunities to look after themselves, and support small businesses in your area and online,” she said.

He too would write "An Excursion." He doubted that Don Juan might be "too free for these modest days." It was too free for the public, for his publisher, even for his mistress; and the "building up of the drama," as Shelley puts it, was a slow and gradual process. Cantos I., II. were published (4to) on the 15th of July 1819; Cantos III., IV., V., finished in November 1820, were not published till the 8th of August 1821. Cantos VI.-XVI., written between June 1822 and March 1823, were published at intervals between the 15th of July 1823 and the 26th of March 1824. Canto XVII. was begun in May 1823, but was never finished. A fragment of fourteen stanzas, found in his room at Missolonghi, was first published in 1903.
He did not put all his materials into Don Juan. "Mazeppa, a tale of the Russian Ukraine," based on a passage in Voltaire's Charles XII., was finished by the 30th of September 1818 and published with "An Ode" (on Venice) on the 28th of June 1819. In the spring of 1819 Byron met in Venice, and formed a connexion with, an Italian lady of rank, Teresa (born Gamba), wife of the Cavaliere Guiccioli. She was young and beautiful, well-read and accomplished. Married at sixteen to a man nearly four times her age, she fell in love with Byron at first sight, soon became and for nearly four years remained his mistress. A good and true wife to him in all but name, she won from Byron ample devotion and a prolonged constancy. Her volume of Recollections (Lord Byron jugé par les témoins de sa vie, 1869), taken for what it is worth, is testimony in Byron's favour. The countess left Venice for Ravenna at the end of April; within a month she sent for Byron, and on the 10th of June he arrived at Ravenna and took rooms in the Strada di Porto Sisi. The house (now No. 295) is close to Dante's tomb, and to gratify the countess and pass the time he wrote the "Prophecy of Dante" (published April 21, 1821). According to the preface the poem was a metrical experiment, an exercise in terza rima; but it had a deeper significance.
It was "intended for the Italians." Its purport was revolutionary. In the fourth canto of Childe Harold, already translated into Italian, he had attacked the powers, and "Albion most of all" for her betrayal of Venice, and knowing that his word had weight he appeals to the country of his adoption to strike a blow for freedom - to "unite." It is difficult to realize the force or extent of Byron's influence on continental opinion. His own countrymen admired his poetry, but abhorred and laughed at his politics. Abroad he was the prophet and champion of liberty. His hatred of tyranny - his defence of the oppressed - was a word spoken in season when there were few to speak but many to listen. It brought consolation and encouragement, and it was not spoken in vain. It must, however, be borne in mind that Byron was more of a king-hater than a people-lover. He was against the oppressors, but he disliked and despised the oppressed. He was aristocrat by conviction as well as birth, and if he espoused a popular cause it was de haut en bas.
His connexion with the Gambas brought him into touch with the revolutionary movement, and thenceforth he was under the espionage of the Austrian embassy at Rome. He was suspected and "shadowed," but he was left alone.
Early in September Byron returned to La Mira, bringing the countess with him. A month later he was surprised by a visit from Moore, who was on his way to Rome. Byron installed Moore in the Mocenigo palace and visited him daily. Before the final parting (October 11) Byron placed in Moore's hands the MS. of his Life and Adventures brought down to the close of 1816. Moore, as Byron suggested, pledged the MS. to Murray for 2000 guineas, to be Moore's property if redeemed in Byron's lifetime, but if not, to be forfeit to Murray at Byron's death. On the 17th of May 1824, with Murray's assent and goodwill, the MS. was burned in the drawing-room of 50 Albemarle Street. Neither Murray nor Moore lost their money. The Longmans lent Moore a sufficient sum to repay Murray, and were themselves repaid out of the receipts of Moore's Life of Byron. Byron told Moore that the memoranda were not "confessions," that they were "the truth but not the whole truth." This, no doubt, was the truth, and the whole truth.
Whatever they may or may not have contained, they did not explain the cause or causes of the separation from his wife.
At the close of 1819 Byron finally left Venice and settled at Ravenna in his own apartments in the Palazzo Guiccioli. His relations with the countess were put on a regular footing, and he was received in society as her cavaliere servente. At Ravenna his literary activity was greater than ever. His translation of the first canto of Pulci's Morgante Maggiore (published in the Liberal, No. IV., July 30, 1832), a laborious and scholarly achievement, was the work of the first two months of the year. From April to July he was at work on the composition of Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice, a tragedy in five acts (published April 21, 1821). The plot turns on an episode in Venetian history known as La Congiura, the alliance between the doge and the populace to overthrow the state. Byron spared no pains in preparing his materials. In so far as he is unhistorical, he errs in company with Sanudo and early Venetian chronicles. Moved by the example of Alfieri he strove to reform the British drama by "a severer approach to the rules." He would read his countrymen a "moral lesson" on the dramatic propriety of observing the three unities.
It was an heroic attempt to reassert classical ideals in a romantic age, but it was "a week too late"; Byron's "regular dramas" are admirably conceived and finely worded, but they are cold and lifeless.
Eighteen additional sheets of the Memoirs and a fifth canto of Don Juan were the pastime of the autumn, and in January 1821 Byron began to work on his second "historical drama," Sardanapalus. But politics intervened, and little progress was made. He had been elected capo of the "Americani," a branch of the Carbonari, and his time was taken up with buying and storing arms and ammunition, and consultations with leading conspirators. "The poetry of politics" and poetry on paper did not go together. Meanwhile he would try his hand on prose. A controversy had arisen between Bowles and Campbell with regard to the merits of Pope. Byron rushed into the fray. To avenge and exalt Pope, to decry the "Lakers," and to lay down his own canons of art, Byron addressed two letters to **** ****** (i.e. John Murray), entitled "Strictures on the Life and Writings of Pope." The first was published in 1821, the second in 1835.
