Vehicle2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
ReviewI am about to reach the 2,000 mile mark on my Fusion Hybrid and I'm very impressed! I drive 2008 Camry Hybrids at work and this car beats the Camry in several areas. The CVT trans is amazing and the car is a pleasure to drive. I love the smooth quiet ride with the sure-footed handling of a performance vehicle. The standard six speaker, six-disc sound system is very nice and I have come to LOVE the Sirius Satelite Radio. I coummute 110 miles per day and average 38 mpg which is oustanding for a vehicle of this size and comfort level. - not to mention the high average freeway speeds of about 75 mph. Ford has really come up with a winner with the Fusion Hybrid.
Best FeaturesLooks, mpg, comfort and road manner.
Worst FeaturesLocking fuel door or gas cap.

The report on U.S. citizens who are putting their muscle and skills to work alongside the people of Nicaragua brought to mind the flood of good will that resulted when a librarian friend of mine presented the national library in Managua with a needed card-duplicating machine, purchased with a number of $10 and $20 contributions. Such gifts and labor do far more to promote peace between our two countries than do the millions we spend outfitting an army that attacks and terrorizes poor villagers.
Polls show that although not everyone knows which side we are on, the American people are overwhelmingly against further military involvement in Central America. With the National Security Council now seeming to be the screen for information emanating from the White House, we need this kind of balanced news coverage more than ever.
Given our deepening involvement, isn’t it also time for congressional hearings on Central America of the sort that finally brought us to our senses in Vietnam? If we truly believe in the public’s right to know, these hearings should seek the widest possible input, including the opinions and advice of Central Americans living here.
It would be sobering to learn of the economic and international relations costs of our current policies, but encouraging if at the same time more sane alternatives could be explored.

Pink lady stamp is from Old Island Stamp Co. -sentiment is Inkadinka and I used B.G. Pheobe paper, Rose Red card and Ink and a bit of Going Grey.
The Chrysanrhemum used Stazon ink and More Mustard card. I cannot find out where my stamped image came from....anybody know the company?

Trips are frequently overbooked in the UNITED STATES and being bumped from a flight despite the fact that you reserved it well in advance is really common. While I was on holiday in Las Vegas I got to the Flight terminal for my trip back house to the UK. I had actually booked my flights well ahead of time and also they cost $289.00. It was mayhem at the ticket desk due to the fact that they had an overbooked flight and also desired volunteers to fly the following day. I really was not curious about that, my vacation mored than as well as I simply wished to get home. However when I found out that the airline companies was providing $300 settlement plus a hotel room for the night and also transfer I leapt at it.
The hotel was an airport hotel so I was not going far however I had simply swiped $300 just for the hassle of flying the following day. Regarding I was concerned I was getting my trips for my initial holiday for free and if it took place once again I would certainly be first in the line to get bumped. God bless America!
One more way to obtain affordable trips is to be a carrier. You will discover these in the Telephone directory under trip messengers and also airline company messengers. All you are doing is taking a bundle from your residence Nation to one more one. You obtain return trips though you can alter the return flight if you wish so you can have a holiday. As long as the bundle is supplied in a timely manner the messenger Business is happy with that said. The only downside to this free trip strategy is you will need to stump up a relatively huge deposit which you will get refunded on your return. This is just a little insurance for the messenger Firm should you determine to surrender the shipment of the package. Simply ensure the Firm you will certainly be supplying the bundle for is reliable and you have a legitimately binding agreement.
Airmiles are an additional way to get free flights. You can obtain airmiles with significant supermarkets, petrol stations, retailers as well as even by paying your energy expenses promptly. You collect factors on their rewards cards and then redeem them for airmiles. You can additionally collect them yourself by flying regularly. If you do not expensive doing any of these after that you have a third alternative. Buy paper airmiles from the on the internet auction web sites. This allows business as well as although you need to bid for the airmiles vouchers it is feasible to fly for free sometimes, all of it depends on the amount of airmiles you obtain as well as just how you use them.

Skip to comments.Most troops wouldn't oppose serving with gays, survey finds
Posted on 10/29/2010 10:19:37 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
A majority of active-duty and reserve service members surveyed by the Defense Department would not object to serving and living alongside openly gay troops, according to multiple people familiar with the findings.
The survey's results are expected to be included in a Pentagon report, due to President Obama on Dec. 1, regarding how the military would end enforcement of the "don't ask, don't tell" law that bans openly gay men and lesbians from serving in uniform.
Some troops surveyed - but not a majority - objected strongly to the idea of serving with gays and said they would quit the military if the policy changed, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly share details of the survey.
Defense Department officials did not respond to requests for comment.
NBC News first reported Thursday evening on the survey's findings.
In July, the Pentagon sent a survey with dozens of questions to 400,000 active-duty and reserve troops. It asked whether they had ever shared a room or the showers with gay peers, and how they might act if a gay service member lived with a same-sex partner on base.
Military officials did not say how many troops completed the survey, but at least 103,000 had done so just days before it was due, according to the Pentagon. A similar survey was later sent to military spouses.

NAIL ON HEAD
Ask that same question to Kimberly Bergalis, only substitite dentist for cardiologist.
Why don’t you go first and describe your own struggle with homosexuality.
Flushed another one out, eh?
This has been a magnet for the old and the new.
They must be discussing it on some anti-freeper site/chat room or something.
Assuming the troops surveyed were mostly younger men and women, the results might be accurate. Remember, they’re a generation that has been indoctrinated year after year via television, movies, school, etc., into believing these behaviors are acceptable and that there must be something wrong with the people who won’t accept it.
So says the Washington Pest.
“Homonausea” is a better term. They make me sick.
Funny thing is when those pushing the homosexual agenda are presented with reason, rationality, evidence, and facts - they either leave the discussion, or act as though nothing proving them wrong was said, or start the usual “you’re really gay yourself” or “you’re a homophobe/bigot” stuff.
Like clockwork, I tell you!
But the military particularly attracts conservative types. And many serving now have had experience with homosexuals around them and if they’re normal men and women and not hardcore leftists, they know that homosexuals are bad for morale!
Tired - Sola Veritas posted his own experience with this very survey somewhere on the thread. He explains why the survey was worhtless - find his post and read it!
I read the handwriting on the wall 30 years ago and pulled out after 22 years. McNamara’s wiz-kids came thru the Installation where I was stationed and “recommended” changes on everything from Clubs to Latrines.
18 Months later I was on the street and damn glad for my decision!
I live in an area where I’m surrounded by Marines. We have some every lively discussions when we “stack up the brass”
during a neighbor BBQ’s. Lot’s of fun and I dare any bad guys to try anything as we all have our sector fields of fire assigned. Essyons and Semper Fi!!
“It is unbelievable”
You got that right!
Not excusing anyone for being vulgar, annoying and disgusting, but homosexuality *is* a vulgar, annoying and disgusting topic. The trick is how one is to discuss it without being that way one’s self.
>>> Military policy is not determined by referendum, so the question is moot.
On the other hand, want to bet if the results were OPPOSED to the new policy you’d be waving it like a flag on Iwo Jima?
A military is primarily composed of young people. More and more, young people don’t meltdown at the thought of somebody else being a homosexual, whether they personally approve the practice or not. And outraged old people just by attrition are less and less a relevant factor. The poll results are not surprising.
You sound just like tbrightusmc. Isn’t that odd.
Not me, I've been here longer, but...I'm not a troll. I don't think you're a troll. I do think you're one of those who claims to be conservative but when push comes to shove you're really not all that conservative. Guess what, though. Right now I don't care. As long as you help vote the conservatives in you're on my side.
Speaking of outraged old people.

There have been several top-selling girl groups to come out of the R&B genre — Destiny’s Child perhaps first among them — but none have hailed from the United Kingdom, at least so far. That said, three young women from Mis-Teeq are hoping to change that geographical bias. “We definitely have come over here to make waves,” said band member Alesha Dixon, speaking to Reuters in Los Angeles. “We’ve come over here, we are from the U.K. and we want to make a big impression on the U.S. We’ve not come over here to try and imitate what you guys do. We just want to be known as the girl group that came out of the U.K. that was successful here because it’s really hard in this day and age to break through and we’re trying to break the mold.”

Digital Safety During The Holidays
During the upcoming holiday season, most of us will do more of our shopping online than ever before. Retailers compete for your attention with flash discounts and “today only” sales. Cyber criminals are just waiting to take advantage of this urgency and our distracted nature this time each year. They know that we’re usually more concerned with getting the sale price and less concerned with the security of our personal information.
But there are there are some basic, simple ways to mitigate a lot of the risks associated with sharing and storing your sensitive info – without compromising the convenience of shopping from your couch.
Here are 6 tips to stay digitally safe online during the holiday season:
Beware of shopping-related phishing schemes
Phishing involves emails designed to look like they’re from someone else – such as a brand you like or have purchased before. These emails will usually encourage you to click on a malicious link by enticing you with a deal or exclusive price. You will, of course, be redirected to a fake landing page that still looks like the brand they’re impersonating. Their goal is to try and collect your login credentials or payment information like your credit card number.
Before you click anything, take a moment to look over the entire email. Look at the address it came from. Use your mouse to hover the cursor over the link(s) without clicking on them. The real URL should be shown in a pop-up or at the bottom of your browser window. If you’re unsure, or if the deal looks too good to be true, then delete the email immediately.
Avoid suspicious or unfamiliar retailers
Sometimes, scammers set up sites designed to attract bargain hunters hoping to score a great deal on the latest popular products. If you aren’t familiar with the website or company you are buying from, don’t take the risk. Or at least do some research beforehand. Do a Google search. You probably won’t be the first person to do so and you very well may be able to learn from their experiences.
Don’t shop online using free WiFi unless you’re using a VPN
The most obvious rule is that you shouldn’t do anything on a public WiFi that you wouldn’t want all the strangers around you seeing. If you’re connected to free WiFi in public locations such as airports, planes, trains, cafes, or hotels, you should be using a Virtual Privacy Network (VPN), which encrypts all the traffic coming in and out of your device. If you’re using a home WiFi, or simply using your cellular data, you don’t generally need to worry about using a VPN.
Don’t save sensitive info on a website or in your browser
This tip should really be applied all year long, but it’s especially important during the busy holiday shopping season because we’re all looking for ways to save a bit of time. If you want to have the convenience of auto filling your information on different sites without sacrificing the security of your data, you should try a password manager, which can give you automatic logins and secure form auto fills.
Secure accounts with strong passwords
You probably won’t be lucky enough to complete all your holiday shopping at one website. Therefor you will probably need to log into multiple sites. If you’re required to create a password (as opposed to checking out as a “guest”), make sure that the password is unique and not used elsewhere. Also make sure that it’s not an obvious one. Don’t use your name, or address or birthday, and change it frequently.
Ship to a secure location
Package theft by “porch pirates” has become more prevalent in recent years with the rise of online shopping. If no one’s home during the day, consider shipping a package to your office or to the home of a relative or neighbor that you’re sure will be available to take delivery.


Scientific and artistic research within the field of songwriting and production.
Main research focuses
- Traditional and modern methods of songwriting and production including the DAW environment and the studio, top-lining, and improvisation as tools and instrumental factors in the creative process
- Songwriting and Production as research, means of communication and self-expression
- The relationship between the songwriter, the creative process and the finished product.
- The relationship between research, songwriting and teaching practice
- The relationship between the voice, the musical and the lyrical material
The aim of the research group is to produce scientific and artistic works reflecting songwriting- and production practices as multimodal representations of popular music and research. Our members include professors, researchers, research fellows and master's students, each representing the various fields of songwriting and production offered as undergraduate studies and Master- and PhD- programs at the Institute for Popular Music at the University of Agder.
This research group will have an interdisciplinary approach and present research-projects at international academic conferences as well as through various forms of artistic and scientific collaborations and publications. A driving motivation for our work is to contribute to establishing grounds for intra- and interdisciplinary dialogue and develop vocabulary and descriptive terminology applicable across the more specialized fields. By methodical investigation into strategies of songwriting and production the group will suggest new theory and analytic and pedagogical approaches relevant for researchers, scholars, students and musicians.
Members in the group
Eirik Askerøy (Associate Professor, Inland Norway University of applied sciences)
Students in the group
Master students taking the specialisation in Songwriting.

X Factor's Gamu 'wins deportation appeal'
Wednesday 11 May 2011
Former X Factor hopeful Gamu Nhengu and her family have won their appeal against deportation, her lawyer said today.
Gamu, 19, currently lives with her two brothers and mother Nokuthula Ngazana in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, but feared they would be sent back to Zimbabwe after a court ruling.
Earlier this year the teenager's family were refused leave to stay in the UK by the Home Office following a decision passed at the Immigration Court in Glasgow.
But today Gamu's family received "the first great news they've had for months" - that their appeal had been successful.
The Home Office now has five days to appeal against the decision, which was granted in accordance with their right to a private and family life as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.
The family's lawyer, Frances Farrell, said in a statement: "We are delighted to announce that the court has allowed Gamu, her brothers and her mother's appeal.
"If the Home Office accepts the decision of the court, then my clients will be granted leave to remain in the UK.
"The Home Office have a five working day limit to appeal and we hope they do not exercise that right.
"My clients are all delighted with the decision, it's the first great news they've had for months."
Gamu shot to fame on last year's X Factor competition when she was controversially kicked off the show by judge Cheryl Cole during the boot-camp round.
The move to deport her family came in February after allegations that her mother, a nurse, had wrongly claimed working tax credits.
The family has always contested the allegation, which was successfully appealed at a private hearing.
MP Gordon Banks, who represents Ochil and South Perthshire, where Gamu is a constituent, said he was delighted to hear the news.
He said: "This is really good news not only for the family, but also for the local community in which the family played such a vital role.
"It's particularly pleasing to see that commonsense has prevailed and that we have the ability in the UK to take decisions which are morally right.
"I hope the Home Office don't exercise their right to appeal this decision and that the family will be allowed to get on with their lives and continue to contribute to society."

Scanner analysis of the topology of laser hybrid welds depending on the joint edge tolerances
2011 (English)In: 13th NOLAMP Conference: 13th Conference on Laser Materials Proce Nordic Countries 27 - 29 June 2011 / [ed] Einar Halmøy, Trondheim: Department of Geography, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2011Conference paper (Refereed)
The surface geometry after laser hybrid arc welding is an important quality criterion. What isoften called welding in a rough industrial environment can in many cases systematically bereduced to a few local conditions of the joint edge during welding, particularly depending onthe edge preparation technique. In the present study, beside the influence of surface oxidesstudied in separate publications, the conditions are reduced to the local gap width, verticalsurface position and edge mismatch. Gas cut edge conditions are compared to milling andlaser cutting. By scanning the steel edges of a 10 mm butt joint before and during hybridwelding and relating the systematic variation of the above three properties to the scannedtopology of the resulting weld, quantitative correlations are identified. By the aid of highspeed imaging, explanations for the trends can be found. Operating windows with controllabletrends can be quantitatively mapped and distinguished from instable regimes. Beside higherroughness, gas cut edges show a superimposed edge oscillation of longer periodicity, beingless visible but important. During welding, concave surface bending and gap widening alterthe initial conditions. Awareness and quantitative identification of the edge conditions isrecommended to control the welding process in a rough industrial environment.

The goal is to generate confidence among real estate foreign and domestic investors. “Programa Relançar” is based on the Manifesto dos Investidores Imobiliários (Real Estate Investors Manifesto), an initiative from around 200 investors members of APPII, which lists the association’s concerns and proposals to quickly relaunch the economy, understanding that the attraction of investment will play an essential role in this context of crisis and pandemic.
Hugo Santos Ferreira, APPII’s Executive Vice-President, explained that «we should prepare a global and integrated strategy for the recovery of the economy, as fast as possible, attentive to the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, ready to add complimentary measures, which will assist the return of activity and economic growth, anchored on raising more investment».
Hugo Santos Ferreira also commented that «the real estate sector has already proved to be one of the first sectors to be able to get back on its feet after a crisis, and, with it, a positive effect on the other sectors is expected. Extending to tourism, commerce, industry, construction and many others, until the full recovery of the economy and employment».
On a first stage, the program intends to educate governing authorities, entrepreneurs and the public opinion towards «the need to implement immediate measures which will restore the necessary confidence, attractiveness and safety towards the real estate sector, with the main players in this sector, which represents 15% of the national GDP, immediately available to work together in relaunching the Portuguese economy ».
Relaunch of investment programs and tax relief among the demands
Amongst the main proposals, the highlight goes to the «unequivocal» relaunch of the «golden visa» and Non-Habitual Resident Regime programs to reinforce the attraction of foreign investment.
On the other hand, the association considers it is important to reduce the TVA rate for new construction, «in order to enable new projects oriented towards housing, rental and offer for the middle class».
It also defends the end of the housing AIMI (Additional Municipal Housing Tax), and shortening of the municipal licensing deadlines, followed by its digitisation, «a fundamental step to raise investment during the recovery period».

By employing near-IR excitation at 1064-nm excitation wavelength has resulted in a significant damping of the fluorescence emission compared to 785-nm wavelength excitation. Spectra of street samples of drugs of abuse and plastic explosives, which usually fluoresce with 785-nm excitation, are readily obtained in situ within seconds through plastic packaging and glass containers using highly innovative detector architecture based upon a transfer electron (TE) photocathode and electron bombarded gain (EB) technology that allowed the detection of NIR radiation at 1064nm without fluorescence interference. This dispersive near-IR Raman system has the potential to be an integral part in the armoury of the forensic analyst as a non-destructive tool for the in-situ analysis of drugs of abuse and explosives.

DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host:
For a baseball fan, spring did not begin back on March 20th. It begins tomorrow, opening day. Many eyes this season will be on the Boston Red Sox's new pitcher, Daisuke Matsuzaka. Fans from his Pacific League days in Japan know him as The Monster for his ferocious fastballs, curveballs, sliders and splitters.
America's favorite pastime became Japan's well over a century ago. A new book celebrates the two nations' love of the game. It's a collection of American and Japanese haiku called appropriately "Baseball Haiku." The American co-editor of the book, poet Cor van den Heuvel, is with us from NPR's New York bureau. Hello there.
Mr. COR VAN DEN HEUVEL (Co-editor, "Baseball Haiku"): Hello, Debbie. How are you?
ELLIOTT: I'm good. Now, you say baseball and haiku were made for each other. How so?
Mr. VAN DEN HEUVEL: Well, the connection between them is - haiku is a poem about nature and baseball is very closely related to nature. It started out on a field. It's played under the open sky. There's dirt. There's grass. It goes through the seasons. It opens in the spring. It plays all through the summer. The World Series is in the fall. And we have the Hot Stove League in the winter where we reminisce about the baseball that took place in the other seasons. And all of this is captured in haiku. Another thing that relates haiku to baseball is time, or the lack of time. In baseball there is no clock. It's played now, in the present, and haiku is also always in the present tense.
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host:
Tell us, who was it that penned the first baseball haiku?
Mr. HEUVEL: It was one of the great - they're called the four pillars of haiku in Japan. It was Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki. Shiki was the most recent one. He was born in Matsuyama on the island of Skikoku. In 1884 he went to Tokyo to a prep school. And there he discovered baseball. He became so enamored of it, he went out for the team. He played catcher. And he wrote haiku about the game. He is now in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
ELLIOTT: Would you read for us his first haiku about baseball?
Mr. HEUVEL: Sure.
Spring breeze. This grassy field makes me want to play catch. Spring breeze. This grassy field makes me want to play catch.
Most haiku poets usually read their haiku twice.
Mr. HEUVEL: Because haiku bis(ph) is basically a suggestive poem. It depends on perception, awareness and suggestiveness. Each word is so important. If you miss one word you're going to probably miss the whole import of the haiku itself.
ELLIOTT: Okay, let's talk a little bit now about some of these American poets. I was surprised to see that the Beat poet Jack Kerouac was the first American to write a baseball haiku. And we actually have found a recording of Jack Kerouac reciting one of his poems. Let's listen.
Mr. JACK KEROUAC (Poet): Empty baseball field. A robin hops along the bench. Empty baseball field. A robin hops along the bench.
ELLIOTT: Now, this haiku gives you a very strong image. What does it evoke for you when you hear it?
Mr. HEUVEL: Well, the important thing to me is that although it's an empty baseball field, the robin tells you that this field is going to be filled with ball players in a very short time, because it's spring.
ELLIOTT: You've included a few of your own baseball haiku in this collection. Now you played baseball in high school?
Mr. HEUVEL: I did, but not for the high school team. I never made the high school team. I was a catcher and I wore glasses. And that - I became manager of the team.
ELLIOTT: Will you read for us?
Mr. HEUVEL: Sure.
Mr. HEUVEL: A spring breeze flutters the notice for baseball tryouts. A spring breeze flutters the notice for baseball tryouts.
ELLIOTT: Do you get that sense of excitement that maybe I'll make the team.
Mr. HEUVEL: Right. And here's one about somebody who couldn't afford a new baseball. When I was a kid, if you couldn't afford a new ball you made do with your old ball and you wrapped the black tape around it.
Through the blue sky the tape-wrapped baseball trails a black streamer.
ELLIOTT: You mentioned that you've got 30 American poets here who have written baseball haiku. Are any of these baseball haiku funny?
Mr. HEUVEL: Well, sure, a lot of them are. One of the poets in the book "Baseball Haiku" is Bud Goodrich, and he's from the Chicago area. You know what a rhubarb is in baseball, right?
Mr. HEUVEL: It's when some - there's an argument, usually between an umpire and a manager, or an umpire and one of the players.
Mr. HEUVEL: Just when the rhubarb begins, TV commercial. Just when the rhubarb begins, TV commercial.
ELLIOTT: So just when it's getting exciting they cut it off.
Mr. HEUVEL: Right. It's like most haiku, they're slightly ambiguous so you can produce different scenarios. Different readers bring a different imagination to it.
ELLIOTT: Well, thank you for sharing these poems with us today.
Mr. HEUVEL: You're very welcome.
ELLIOTT: Cor Van den Heuvel is a haiku poet and co-editor of the book "Baseball Haiku: The Best Haiku Written About the Game."
Mr. HEUVEL: Happy baseball season.
ELLIOTT: Thanks. Enjoy it.
Mr. HEUVEL: Thank you.

Horse Owner Help During COVID-19
I’ve been curious—even a bit anxious—about how COVID-19 closures and cancellations will directly impact horse owners and their horses. As people are laid off from their jobs or must shutter their businesses in the face of decreased profits or inability to operate, they must find a way to cover their living expenses, as well as their horses’.
Spring hasn’t hit most pastures yet, so horse owners are still feeding a lot of hay … it’s simply a more expensive time of year to keep horses. It’s also tax season, and some owners owe the IRS.
“The timing is awful,” said emergency planning expert Rebecca Gimenez-Husted, PhD, who is based in Georgia. “There’s very little grass yet, and spring grass is so dangerous for laminitis risks

“Skagerrak and Back” is the story of my North Sea circuit aboard my 27ft yacht.
In 2007 I bit the bullet and decided to head for foreign climes. We crossed the North Sea from the Firth of Forth to Norway. We skirted the coast southwards to Sweden, through the Skagerrak past Denmark and into Germany. We travelled through the German and Dutch canals and back home through the uninviting waters of the English east coast. Most, but by no means all of the journey was sailed solo.
When I returned I wrote what started out as a ‘log’ of the trip. This is not, as you can probably spot, a tale of astonishing derring-do and bravery in the face of insurmountable odds. Neither does it purport to be a pilot book or sailing directions. It’s just the story of an achieveable summer cruise aboard a seaworthy wee boat.
Hopefully there’s enough detail of the places I visited to whet the appetite and give you some idea just how good a cruising ground this part of the coast of Scandinavia is, or make you want to head for the surreal sailing waters of Holland’s canals.
As I say the story started out as a ‘log’ of the trip. But I really couldn’t be bothered keeping the kind of detailed sailing log that tells you exactly when I made a slight course change and how many Wheatabix I had in my long-life milk that morning.
Sailing alone does sort of heighten your awareness of your environment. In my case it sharpens what the charitable might call my ‘critical faculties’. So as well as the story of a cruise the log turned into a series of observations about the nature, culture, people, economy and boats of the places I passed through.
This is the first in a series of cruising 'logs' about Zophiel’s voyages. “Floating Low to Lofoten” is about my trip to the Norwegian Arctic, “A Gigantic Whinge on the Celtic Fringe” is the story of our circumnavigation of Ireland and "Bobbing to the Baltic" describes a trip from Edinburgh to the Russian border.
Recently some of the people who have been slandered in these tales have suggested that they should be used for kindling. I’ve taken these kind words to heart and published them first for Kindle and now for other e-readers.
Soon I'll be publishing two volumes about some land-based travels, entitled "Travels with my Rant" and "The Front of Beyond". These are gripping tales about nipping over dodgy borders in places like Nicaragua and Burma and being kidnapped, after a fashion, in East Timor.
This volume contains a lot of colour photographs. If you’re struggling with grainy black and white on an e-reader, there’s more sailing tales and the full set of colour photos from this volume on my website at edge dot me dot uk.

The Address | Benghazi – Libya
CAIRO – French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, held a phone conversation with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, after Cairo announced an initiative to solve the Libyan crisis, Sputnik reports.
Egypt’s peace initiative in Libya calls for a ceasefire as of Monday, 8 June, and the obligation of foreign parties to remove mercenaries, dismantle militias and hand over their weapons, as well as complete the path of the Military 5+5 talks in Geneva.
Le Drian praised Cairo’s efforts to establish an immediate cease-fire in Libya, which he said is his country’s top priority.
The French diplomat affirmed Paris support for the resumption of the political process in Libya under the auspices of the United Nations and within the Berlin Conference conclusions.
He also stressed upon the importance of unifying Libyan institutions, including financial institutions, in addition to organizing parliamentary and presidential elections.

The Odisha Legislative Assembly on Thursday unanimously ratified the Constitution Amendment Bill for Goods and Services Tax (GST), paving way for introduction of the landmark tax reform.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik moved the statutory resolution in this regard at a special one-day session of the assembly which was supported by members of all political parties barring the lone CPI(M) member who did not participate in the discussion.
The Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014 on GST was passed by Parliament recently and Odisha has become the 16th state to ratify it. Ratification of the Bill by at least half of the total states was mandated before it is sent for the President’s nod.
Not touching the controversial point of capping the tax limit as demanded by the Opposition Congress members, Patnaik said, “We will separately request the government of India to consider state’s concern for imposition of Green Tax on polluting goods in addition to GST.”
“We will also request the Centre to take appropriate action for CST compensation to the states up to 2016-17 for reduction of CST from 4 percent to 2 percent,” he said.
While supporting the resolution, Patnaik said a number of benefits are expected to accrue not only to the central and state governments, but also to the consumers, business and industry from the change over to the GST system.
“The overall tax burden on most commodities is expected to come down. The government will get the benefit of higher revenue efficiency. The business and industry will find it easier to comply with,” he said, adding that the Constitutional Amendment for the GST marks the beginning of a journey.
“We have to establish the legal framework through enactment of the GST laws by the Centre and the states, put in place a robust information technology-based platform for administering the new tax, manage the change through training the tax administrators and officials, familiarise the members of trade and industry with the processes of the new taxation system and sensitise the public about its effect,” Patnaik said.
The Chief Minister said there are challenges before the state to roll out GST next year as he appealed to all to work together to make GST “happen”.
Leader of Opposition Narasingha Mishra of Congress demanded that there should a capping system like 18 percent to save the poor people from high taxation. “Ours is a poorest of the poor state. Therefore, the state government must bat for having the capping system,” Mishra said criticising the ruling BJD for putting contradictory views on the capping in the Rajya Sabha.
The Leader of Opposition said that when the BJD’s leader in Rajya sabha did not supports capping on tax while party’s another senior member wanted it. Mishra also quoted a BJD MPs statement in the Rajya Sabha where he had said that Odisha will badly lose on revenue collection of the GST come into the force.
“If state will lose according to BJD MP, why such ratification? He asked demanding a clarification from the chief minister on the BJD’s view,” Mishra said. He expressed displeasure over the state government’s ignorance on the GST bill. “We want to know how much Odisha will benefit or lose”, Mishra asked.
BJP legislature party leader K V Singhdeo supported the ratification and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the passing of the GST Bill in both the Houses of Parliament.
Odisha become the 16th state after Goa to ratify the Constitution Amendment for GST introduction.

MOSCOW, September 18 (Itar-Tass) - Russia’s Vnesheconombank (VEB) keeps no accounts of individuals, including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s, the bank’s President Vladimir Dmitriyev said on Wednesday, September 18.
“In accordance with the Law ‘On the Development Bank’, Vnesheconombank may not open accounts for individuals,” Dmitriyev said, when asked whether the bank kept Al-Assad’s money as American senators had claimed.
He dismissed their accusations of unlawful transactions with the Syrian government. “Thank God, the senators have not accused Vnesheconombank of using chemical weapons and killing civilians,” he said.
“The senators are looking for possible pretexts to accuse or suspect structures that are not accountable to or controlled by the American administration of violating certain American rules and regulations,” the banker said.
He said VEB was acting in accordance with Russian laws and was strictly abiding by international regulations.
Dmitriyev noted that VEB had been authorised by the Russian government to service Syria’s foreign debt to Russia as the legal successor to the former Soviet Union.


Where There’s a Wine, There is a Way!
Conducted by: David Ademe (Applications Engineer), Avantes Inc.
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a method where a single wavelength/band of light is used to excite a sample that emits a different wavelength of light as a result. Fluorescence has many uses, from medical studies, biological applications, chemistry experiments and sample classification. For example, the type of a sample can be determined based on the emission spectra. This can be used to develop reliable models and analytical methods to differentiate fraud or imitation samples.
The food and beverage industry can use fluorescence spectroscopy to identify purity of samples and distinguish samples from one another. Beverages, such as wine, greatly benefit from fluorescence spectroscopy. The development of new reliable analytical methods, able to detect different types of food and beverages frauds, represents nowadays, a constant need for research and control laboratories. Beside the already acknowledged methods for wine control, new analytical approaches (Raman, fluorescence spectroscopy) in combination with chemometrics, can be successfully applied for wine classification. This experiment will be identifying the fluorescence spectra of four wine samples with Avantes equipment. Referring to the study featured in the journal Nature entitle “Application of fluorescence spectroscopy using classical right-angle technique in white wines classification” in which a classical spectrofluorimeter instrument was used to differentiate wine types of different types of geographical regions, Avantes attempted to excite and measure fluorescence on white wine samples.
Description of Methodology:
For this experiment, we used an AvaLight-HPLED-285 to excite the sample. The LED has a peak wavelength at 285 nm and a FWHM of 15 nm and spectral power of 0.5 mWatt. The Avalight-HPLED is a compact, low-cost light source designed for fluorescence applications. This high-power version was made for more demanding applications compared to Avantes standard Avalight-Led light sources.
The light source was directly coupled to the CUV-UV/VIS-TC; a temperature-controlled cuvette holder. Direct coupling is preferred over fiber coupling to maximize excitation energy into the sample. The CUV-UV/VIS-TC, is primarily utilized for applications where temperature control is required such as biological applications, however, the fluorescence configuration of this cuvette cell holder is exceptionally well configured to maximize excitation and emission signals. The CUV-UV/VIS-TC is available in fluorescence, absorption, or combined fluorescence/absorption configurations. Application areas enabled by the CUV-UV/VIS-TC series include DNA melting and annealing, protein thermodynamics, fluorophore characterization, enzyme kinetics, and online thermocycling of biological particles.
Because fluorescence emission spectra can be very weak, a fiber bundle was used to couple the cuvette holder emission signal to the spectrometer. The fiber bundle was used to maximize light transport to the spectrometer. A few spectrometer models were tested to gauge the sensitivity requirements of the wine samples and given the weak signals, the AvaSpec-HERO was selected. The AvaSpec-HERO is Avantes highest performance UV/Vis spectrometer which is based on our High-Sensitivity, Compact (HSC), 100mm optical bench offering a NA of 0.13 and a cooled, back-thinned 2-dimensional detector (1024×58 pixels). The HERO features our exclusive AS7010 board, which includes a high-performance Analog to Digital convertor providing for exceptional signal-to-noise performance. The AS7010 also features dual communication options including USB3.0 and Gigabit ethernet.
Test Data and Results:
All four spectra displayed the same general emission peaks. This is to be expected, as all four wine samples are incredibly similar to one another. However, the peak intensities all vary from each other. This demonstrates how each sample has unique spectral properties which allow us to differentiate them from one another.
One aspect of the fluorescence spectra that is key to point out is the relatively low scope counts on the y-axis. This is typical in fluorescence applications, especially in naturally occurring samples. The HERO does an excellent job displaying the spectra, as the integration/scan time in this study was set to 15 seconds. Typically, this results in noisy spectra in most spectrometers, which would prevent us from seeing these fluorescence peaks. The HERO allows us to see these peaks clearly.
Further studies could include developing a chemometric model, allowing us to identify unknown wine samples. While visual examination of the raw spectra indicated all samples were very similar, multivariate analysis could provide for repeatable differentiation.
The fluorescence emission spectra proves that Avantes instruments provide an excellent method identifying key optical properties in samples, such as food and beverage applications. In particular, the AvaSpec-HERO is an excellent and reliable spectrometer for applications requiring high sensitivity.
Upon evaluation of the spectra collected, the data is consistent with known fluorescence spectra of white wine. Further testing could reveal even more unique spectral properties of wine, depending on the region the wine originated from. Please contact your Avantes sales representative to determine how Avantes instruments can assist your application.

I had no idea what to expect at my Avatar Course. I had already made a decision to make some major changes in my life, but I was struggling a little to get motivated and enthused. I was a little scared of change. But I wanted to feel refreshed again and revitalized to the next 20 years achieving other new dreams and goals.
I have just finished attending a Resurfacing workshop which was extremely interesting and I learned new techniques to combat stress and pressures that stop you from feeling your dreams. This was insightful.
Although it may have appeared that I went through the Course not totally understanding the potential, I really did unleash many trapped feelings and emotions, I felt a sense of relief and a renewed belief that I can achieve the dreams that light up my face and make my heart feel alive!!
The most interesting event was the next morning when I suddenly broke down and cried and cried, like all this fixed emotion was leaving me and after that I felt such relief. Thank you!

What if you threw a lavish party for foreign investors, and no one came? By all accounts, that is what’s happening in Mozambique’s Nacala Corridor, the intended site for Africa’s largest agricultural development scheme – or land grab, depending on your perspective.
The ProSavana project, a Brazilian-and-Japanese-led development project, was supposed to be turning Mozambique’s fertile savannah lands in the north into an export zone, replicating Brazil’s success taming its own savannah – the cerrado – and transforming it into industrial mega-farms of soybeans. The vision, hatched in 2009, but only revealed to Mozambicans in 2013, called for 35 million hectares (nearly 100 million acres) of “underutilized” land to be converted by Brazilian agribusiness into soybean plantations for cheaper export to China and Japan.
In my two weeks in Mozambique, including one week in the Nacala Corridor, I had a hard time finding evidence of any such transformation. It was easy, though, to find outrage at a plan seen by many in the region as a secret land grab. That resistance, which has evolved into a tri-national campaign in Japan, Brazil, and Mozambique to stop ProSavana, is one of the reasons the project is a currently a dud.
The new face of South-South investment?
I came to look at ProSavana because, out of all the large-scale projects I studied over the course of the last year, this one sounded almost plausible. It wasn’t started by some fly-by-night venture capitalist, growing a biofuel crop he’d never produced commercially for a market that barely existed. That’s what I saw in Tanzania, and such failed land grabs litter the African landscape.
ProSavana at least knew its investors: Brazil’s agribusiness giants. The planners also knew their technology: Brazil’s soybeans, which had adapted to the harsh tropical conditions of Brazil’s cerrado. And they knew their market: Japan’s and China’s hog farms and their insatiable appetite for feed, generally made with soybeans. That was already more than a lot of these grand schemes had going for them.
I was also compelled by the sheer scale of the project. When first announced, ProSavana was to encompass 35 million hectares of land, an area the size of North Carolina. That would have made it the largest land acquisition in Africa.
ProSavana also interested me because it was not the usual neo-colonial megaproject promoted by the Global North. It was a projection of Brazil’s agro-export prowess. This was South-South investment, the new wave of development in a multipolar world. Wouldn’t Brazil do this differently, I wondered, with the kind of strong developmental focus that had characterized the country’s ascendance under the leadership of the left-leaning Workers’ Party?
ProSavana’s premise was that the soil and climate in the Nacala Corridor of Mozambique were similar to those found in the cerrado, so technology could be easily adapted to tame a region inhospitable to agriculture.
Someone should have gone there before they issued the press releases.
It turns out that the two regions differ dramatically. The cerrado had poor soils, which technology was able to address. That’s also why it had few farmers, and those that were there could be moved by Brazil’s then-military dictatorship. The Nacala Corridor, by contrast, has good soils, which is precisely why it is the most densely-populated part of rural Mozambique. (If there are good lands, you can bet civilization has discovered them and is farming them.)
Mozambique also has a democratic government, forged in an independence movement rooted in peasant farmers’ struggle for land rights. So the country has one of the stronger land laws in Africa, which grants use rights to farmers who have been farming land for ten years or more.
The disconnect between the claims ProSavana was making to its investors and the reality of the situation reached almost laughable proportions. Agriculture Minister Jose Pacheco led sales visits to Mozambique, organized by Brazil’s Getulio Vargas Foundation, which had put together the agribusiness-friendly draft “Master Plan” that was leaked to Mozambican civil society organizations in March 2013. Brazil’s biggest farmers came looking for thousands of hectares of land, only to find three disappointments: they couldn’t own land in Mozambique; what land they could lease was by no means empty; and it was far from the ports, with no decent roads to transport their soybeans. Brazil’s soybean mega-farmers packed up their giant combines and went back to the cerrado, where there are still millions of hectares of undeveloped land.
A kinder, gentler ProSavana
There are a few large soybean farms in Gurue, producing for the domestic poultry industry; but nothing like the export boom promised by ProSavana. According to Americo Uaciquete of ProSavana’s Nampula office, Brazilian farmers came expecting 40,000 hectares free and clear. He told me no investor could expect that in the Nacala Corridor. The only foreign investors who will farm there, he said, are those willing to take 2,000 hectares and involve local farmers.
To me, that sounded like a very quick surrender on the ProSavana battlefield. Couldn’t the Mozambican government open larger swaths of land?
“Not without a gun,” Uaciquete said, clearly rejecting that path. “We are not going to impose the Brazilian model here.” He went on to describe ProSavana as a support program for small-scale farmers, based on its two non-investment components: research into improved locally adapted seeds, and extension services to improve productivity.
In Maputo, the ProSavana Directorate did its best to polish up the new, development-friendly ProSavana. Jusimere Mourao, of Japan’s cooperation agency, had it down best. She lamented that ProSavana was “poorly timed” because its “announcement” (a leak) “coincided” with international concerns about land grabbing. Hmmm….
After taking civil society concerns into account, she said, the program had issued a new “concept note” and the Master Plan is under revision. “Small and medium producers are the main beneficiaries of ProSavana,” she said. “We have no intention of promoting the taking of their land. It would be a crime.” It’s not about promoting foreign investment, she assured me; that is up to the Mozambican government.
The turnaround was stunning, and welcome, if not quite believable. It certainly had not quieted the coalition calling for an end to ProSavana until farmers and civil society groups are consulted on the agricultural development plan for the Nacala Corridor.
Luis Sitoe, Economic Adviser to the Minister of Agriculture, smirked when I told him I’d been in the region researching ProSavana. “Did you find anything?” For him, ProSavana had failed.
But lest I think anything profound had been learned from that experience, he reassured me that the Mozambican government remains firmly committed to relying on large-scale foreign investment to address its agricultural underdevelopment.
He pulled out a two-inch-thick binder to show me he was serious. It was the project proposal for the Lurio River Valley Development Project, a 200,000-hectare irrigation scheme right there in the northern Nacala Corridor. Was it part of ProSavana? Absolutely not. Had the communities been consulted on this ambitious project along the heavily populated river valley?
“Absolutely not,” said Vicente Adriano, research director at UNAC, Mozambique’s national farmers’ union, which had just presented its own agricultural development plan, based on the country’s three million family farmers.
The ProSavana directorate is still promising a new Master Plan for the project in early 2015. So it would be a mistake to think that ProSavana is dead. Large-scale land deals certainly aren’t, however they are branded. Investors may just be waiting for the Mozambican government to bring more to the table than just promotional brochures. Things like land, which turns out to be rather important for a successful land grab. In the Nacala Corridor, that land is anything but unoccupied.

Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero 1/24 Scale Mahogany Model
Introducing the ready-built Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Desktop Model. This 1/24 scale model was handmade with precision and accuracy to produce the finest model that will be the centerpiece of your collection for years to come. This model is a perfect gift for pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike. Not too big or too small, this model features a wingspan of 13.63 inches and a length of 18.25 inches. This model features a very accurate paint scheme with realistic panel lines.
The A6M Zero is carrier-based fighter aircraft manufactured by Mitsubishi and was considered the best carrier-based fighter aircraft since the time it was produced.
During 1940-1941, the pre-series A6M2 Zero became known, when the fighter was confirmed to have destroyed 266 aircraft in China. During Pearl Harbor, there were 420 Zeros in active service in the Pacific. In 1941, the Zero fighters were superior in many performance aspects to all Allied fighters in the Pacific and it quickly gained reputation. However, the Zero failed to achieve air superiority when suitable tactics and new aircraft were developed by the Allies. During World War II, the Zero destroyed at least 1,550 American aircraft.
The A6M5 is an updated model of the A6M3 Model 22, with nonfolding wing tips and thinner skinning for faster diving speeds, plus an improved exhaust system which provides an increment of thrust. There are three subvariants of the A6M5, the A6M5a Model 52a, A6M5b Model 52b and A6M5c Model 52c. The A6M5 could travel at 540 km/h and can reach a height of 8,000 meters in nine minutes and 57 seconds.
There were several Zero fighters which survived the war and were currently on display in Japan, China, United States and the UK, as well as the Auckland War Memorial Museum in New Zealand.

Nov. 3 (UPI) — Billionaire Warren Buffett’s conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway bought back $928 million of its stock as its third-quarter earnings jumped from $4.1 billion to $18.54 billion in one year, the company announced Saturday.
In addition, the company’s operating profit increased to $6.88 billion from $3.44 billion in the third quarter, according to a regulatory filing.
Bethshire Hathaway, based in Omaha, Neb., owns a variety of companies, including insurer Geico, railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe and consumer brands like Duracell, Dairy Queen and paint maker Benjamin Moore as well as newspapers, including the hometown Omaha Herald. It also has invested $57.6 billion in Apple and $28 billion in Kraft Heinz.
Because the company is heavily invested in insurance companies, the profits last year were weak partly the result of an earthquake in Mexico and major hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
With Berthshire Hathaway flush in cash, it repurchased nearly $1 billion in stock: 225 Class A shares and 4.1 million Class B shares.
Class A shares closed at $308,411.01 per share and Class B shares at $206.57 on Friday.
The company reported there were 733,152 Class A shares and 1.36 billion Class B shares, as of Oct. 25, t It’s market capitilizartuon is around $500 billion.
As of March 7, Buffett’s Berkshire ownership stake was 17.2 percent and his voting power was 32.0 percent.
The last buyback was in 2012 when it spent $1.2 billion to repurchase stock, most of which belonged to a longtime shareholder.
The 88-year-old Buffett rarely buys back stock but in July the company eliminated a restriction that capped its ability to buy back its own stock. The company has $108 billion of cash and equivalent funding sources.
Buffett and Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger can buy back stock any time they believe that the repurchase price is “below Berkshire’s intrinsic value, conservatively determined.”
CNN reported that Buffett has not seen many attractive new options because sky-high valuations. Earlier this year, he said his investment philosophy is to stick with “big, ‘easy’ decisions and eschew activity.”

Tired of Insomnia? 4 Ways to Get Better Sleep Without Medication
To work through your insomnia, GO! to Sleep -- a very successful program at ClevelandClinicWellness.com -- suggests that you:
- Exercise regularly. Walking 30 minutes a day relieves stress and helps you sleep. But not too close to bedtime! We aim for 10,000 steps, so buy a pedometer and get walking -- early in the day. Here's why exercise earlier in the day helps you sleep better.
- Make bedtime comfy. We know some things in life are worth the expense. Two of those things are good pillows and mattresses.
- Slow down to help your body relax. Set aside 30 minutes before bed to finish the day’s must-do tasks (10 minutes). Do the hygiene things (10 minutes). Create calm-down time; try deep breathing and/or meditation (10 minutes). Use these tips if you're not sure how to meditate.
- Ban bedside digital devices, including TV. Have nothing in your bedroom except the bed, which should be used for only two things. Sleep may come in an easy second. Discover how electronics intrude on your sleep.
Check out Dr. Mike's favorite foods to help you sleep better.

Goals from Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley saw Chelsea grab a 2-1 victory against Barcelona on Tuesday in an exhibition match in Japan.
Chelsea striker Abraham opened the scoring in the 34th minute by pouncing on a mistake by Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets who attempted to clear the ball.
But with Chelsea midfielder Jorginho applying pressure, the ball rolled towards Abraham who only had to step past rushing goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen and gently send it into the net.
Four minutes later, Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic showed off his speed and footwork to infiltrate the Barca defence, but his left footer went just wide.
Barcelona went on the offensive in the second half, with substitute striker Carles Perez leading the way.
But superb saves by Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga repeatedly denied Barca any attempt to equalise.
In the 55th minute Perez zipped past three Chelsea defenders but his left toe kick finish was not good enough to get past Arrizabalaga.
A few minutes later, he dashed deep into the left side to feed a high-speed cross to striker Malcom, but Arrizabalaga again denied them.
Chelsea made it 2-0 with less than 10 minutes left as midfielder Barkley picked up a cross in front of the box and curled it into the net, with substitute 'keeper Neto getting a touch it but unable to block it.
Just before injury time, Barcelona got a free kick just outside the box but midfielder Ivan Rakitic's shot went above the bar.
Rakitic however quickly redeemed himself in injury time, picking up a cross and firing a lightning right footer that went deep into the net for a consolation goal for Barcelona.
Barca's Rakitic unmoved by transfer rumours
Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic accepts his days at the Nou Camp may be numbered, but for now he is concentrating on preparing for next season with the Spanish champions.
After the arrival of Frenkie de Jong from Ajax and 31-year-old Sergio Busquets signing a new five-year deal last year, Barcelona’s midfield is looking a little crowded and the Croat could be the man shipped out this summer.
Speaking ahead of his side’s pre-season match against Chelsea in Japan on Tuesday, Rakitic admitted it was awkward talking about his future but he was used to the rumours.
"Does it bother me? No it doesn’t, I have to understand soccer in general works like that,” Rakitic said at a news conference in Tokyo on Monday when asked about any impending move.
"In some way it also fills me with pride because if other teams ask about me it is because I am doing things really well."
Rakitic said he is simply trying to enjoy his soccer at Barca as they seek to put disapointments of recent seasons behind them.
"I think the club has other things to do right now other than speak about my issues,” the 31-year-old said.
Coach Enesto Valverde has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to attacking midfielders at his disposal after the arrival of Antoine Griezmann from La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid this month.
Griezmann joins a loaded attacking group that also includes Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Phillipe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
French international Griezmann, who is likely to play his first game in a Barcelona shirt on Tuesday, accepts that Barca play a different brand of football to Atletico but he is confident he can adjust.
"They are two different ways of attacking,” Griezmann said. "At Atletico it’s very quick and the other way is with lots of patience. I will adapt like I did at Atletico.”
"It’s a style I like. I know I can contribute in many ways and, as you know, it’s not a problem for me to run in front or in the back.”
