Резолюция Совета Безопасности ООН 1203 — резолюция Совета Безопасности ООН, принятая 24 октября 1998 года, после подтверждения резолюций 1160 (1998) и 1199 (1998) по Косово. Совет Безопасности потребовал, чтобы Союзная Республика Югославия (Сербия и Черногория) выполнила соблюдала резолюции Совета Безопасности и сотрудничала с контрольными миссиями НАТО и Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе (ОБСЕ) в Косово.

Резолюция была вызвана резней в Горне Обрине.

16 октября 1998 года в Белграде было подписано соглашение между Сербией и Черногорией и ОБСЕ, предусматривающее создание контрольной миссии в Косово, а воздушное патрулирование Косово были согласовано накануне. Генеральный секретарь Кофи Аннан должен был направить миссию в Союзную Республику Югославия для оценки ситуации на местах в Косово.

Содержание
Совет Безопасности заявил, что конфликт в Косово должен быть урегулирован мирным путем и что этой территории должна быть предоставлена большая автономия и разумное самоуправление. Между тем насилие, террор и поставки оружия, а также подготовка террористов в Косово для достижения политических целей были осуждены. Также была выражена обеспокоенность тем, что независимые средства массовой информации в Союзной Республике Югославия были закрыты в дополнение к надвигающейся гуманитарной катастрофе в Косово.

Рассматривая конфликт как угрозу международному миру и безопасности и действуя в соответствии с главой VII Устава Организации Объединенных Наций, резолюция требовала от Сербии и Черногории незамедлительного и полного соблюдения соглашений с НАТО и ОБСЕ. Руководство косовских албанцев также должно было соблюдать соглашения и предыдущие резолюции Совета Безопасности. Обе стороны также были призваны к диалогу по урегулированию кризиса и сотрудничеству с международным сообществом для улучшения гуманитарной ситуации. Косовские албанцы были вынуждены отказаться от террора и мирно преследовать свои цели, также было подтверждено, что все беженцы имеют право вернуться домой.

Наконец, было заявлено, что любые преступления, совершенные против населения, должны расследоваться Международным трибуналом по бывшей Югославии, и для этого была запрошена международная помощь.

Резолюция 1203 была принята 13 голосами против при двух воздержавшихся от Китая и России, которые выступали против применения силы. Китай также был против резолюции, которая будет оказывать давление на внутренние дела Союзной Республики Югославия, а Россия заявила, что в резолюции не учтены положительные реформы, принятые в Белграде.

Right now I'm (Nikolaj, the founder of Refuga) is working from beautiful Morocco. I'm writing this from a roof top in a small city by the coast while the local mosque is calling for prayers. The picture in the top is from the roof top some days ago.
How many people actually work with the Refuga project?
I get this question now and so often. Refuga is owned by me, Nikolaj. I founded the project back in 2012 and went from only doing trips for danish entrepreneurs to also having an international focus last year.
I like to run Refuga very lean and flexible. That means no office and no full time employees. I have 4 people spread over the world, that works with me on the project, from developers and assistent. In total it sums up to 2 full time employees.
I use assistents for both planning and the work with marketing and other practical stuff. The people working with Refuga is located in India, Morocco, Kenya and Russia. Myself, I move a bit around. I'm from Denmark, has just lived for 5 months in Barcelona and currently I'm in Morocco.
What is the best thing that has been accomplished the last 3 months at Refuga?
I actually didn't start to work fulltime on Refuga since late September 2014. Before that it was just a hobby project. A hobby project I was very passionate about. I've always seen myself as good as seeing oppourtinities and being positive about that, but I must admit it took me quite some time to believe I could do this full time. Now I'm here and the feeling is incredible.
That also means that I have only been working professionally with growing Refuga for around 3 months. Looking back on those months, I'm quite happy about what has been accomplished.
The focus has been marketing. I know that people like the Refuga trips. So far 40% of all participants has been on 2 or more Refuga trips. That's something I'm really happy for. But If Refuga has to grow, I needed to find the right marketing channels for it. That has been the biggest task and accomplishment the last 3 months. My background is in online marketing, so it has been a task that I really enjoyed.
In those 3 months I have worked a lot with social media, focusing a bunch on Twitter and Instagram. Both has been incredible channels for Refuga. I've spent a lot of time on getting things right with these channels. I also spent a lot of hours working with Facebook Ads and after some time I got it tweaked, so I now exactly how to spread Refuga really cheap to new people in new countries.
Getting email newsletter signups is also something that is really important. I've worked a bunch on that with a good result. Before we got around 8-10 per week and now we get around 60-80. Both numbers are for periods where we don't spend any money on marketing. When running really targeted and optimized Facebook Ads and other initatives, the number is of course higher.
I will come back to the marketing part later.
I'm also really happy that we had a great first trip to Barcelona with an international group in October 2014 and that the second trip to Italy in May 2015 sold out super fast.
What is the biggest challenge for Refuga right now?
So a bunch of good things is going on, but it's not all fairytales and umbrella cocktails. Of course there is challenges.
The absolute biggest challenge for Refuga is time. I have come a long way with finding a good setup, concept and tweaking different marketing channels. I've something that works, but I need more time. So the solution is of course to hire people, but this is probably the real challenges. I need to learn to give things to others and not do everything myself.
So right now, the biggest challenge for Refuga, is myself. And that is actually a great feeling. I have everything to make this happen, it's just up to myself.
The overall focus right now is doing our own trips. That is the base of Refuga, so the focus is to do a bunch of trips in 2015 and of course sell the spots for those.
Around that we are trying to build the processes, so everything can be done really smooth and so it's possible to scale. I'm sure we can make 100 incredible Refuga trips per year, but it requires a fundation that works and that is what we are doing right now.
Building the foundation means finding the right marketing channels, finding the right people and setting up processes for each little thing. This takes time. In 2012 we did the first trip. In 2013 we had 2 trips and last year we had 4 trips and we will be aiming at doubling that this year too.
This might seem like very slow growth and it is, but when considering that this has only been a full time project for around 3 months, I'm pretty happy about it. 2015 will be the year where the fundation get tested and improved, so growth can be faster.
Could we actually make Refuga "open source"?
One of the things we are working a bit on right now, is a way to open up for Refuga. Inspired by the open source movement, I've been thinking about ways to let other people arrange Refuga trips without the hasle.
It seems like more and more people are arranging retreats and trips like Refuga do and more and more people want to go on trips like this. Could we actually use the last couple of years of experiences to make a platform where other people can easily arrange and spread the word about trips?
That's the idea behind this landing page, which we haven't made a lot of noise about. If you applied and haven't received an answer, don't worry. We will get back to you. We received a lot of applications and we are going through them.
Right now we will be using this landing page and the applications to gain experiences and hopefully arrange the first trips with other organizers. These experiences will hopefully result in us doing some kind of platform where people with big networks or communities can arrange trips themselves.
It should be possible for a german SEO expert with a big personal brand to easily do a Refuga trip, where he get's a bunch of people to a beautiful location and teach them SEO. It should be possible for small startup media sites to arrange their own trips and earn money on it, without the hassle or risk.
I really, really like transparent companies, projects and founders and "Refuga Insight" is me trying to open up and tell a bit about the project. As you might have noticied this blog hasn't really been so active. I don't have a content strategy and I don't prioritize this blog at all, but when I feel there is something to share I will.
If the response to these kind of posts is good, I will absolutely try to prioritize it a bit more and tell more about the ups and downs of the Refuga project.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your interest in Refuga. I really, really appreciate it.
Another great thing about Workaway is your liquidity model. You get money first, then you can pay your suppliers. That makes scaling much more easy, plus you don't need venture capital (unless you want to scale super fast at some point).
I look forward to the first trip in Morocco the 23th.
You're absolutely right about that Lars. That model is why it's possible to actually try to scale it.
Sorry for the misspellings Nikolaj Silly autocorrect. Hope all is well.

According to one report from the GlobalWellnessInstitute, "a wellness mindset is starting to permeate the global consumer consciousness, affecting people's daily decision-making - whether food purchases, a focus on mental wellness and reducing stress, incorporating movement into daily life, environmental consciousness, or their yearning for connection and happiness," noted Katherine Johnston, senior research fellow, GWI. "Wellness, for more people, is evolving from rarely to daily, from episodic to essential, from a luxury to a dominant lifestyle value. And that profound shift is driving powerful growth."
This change in mindset combined with growing interest from large retailers, most recently CVS and Walgreens, is making many companies invest in beauty and wellness.
The most notable is Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED) (NYSE:CGC) who, along with Sequential Brands Group, Inc., recently announced that Martha Stewart joined the Company in an advisory role to assist with developing and positioning a broad new line of product offerings across multiple categories including beauty and wellness.
With several clinical trials underway, Canopy Growth will be leaning on Martha's vast knowledge of consumer products while exploring the effectiveness of CBD and other cannabinoids as they relate to improving the lives of both humans and animals.
The Greater Cannabis Company Inc. (OTC: GCAN), a market leader and innovator in the development and commercialization of cannabinoid delivery systems, just recently announced its expansion into the CBD beauty, cosmetics and self-care markets. In addition to its highly bioavailable, orally dissolving transmucosal patch, the Company is now formulating and commercializing a new line of products for CBD-infused cosmetics and skincare applications.
"Consumer demand for CBD-infused beauty products has prompted major retailers such as Walgreens, Sephora and CVS, and major cosmetic brands like Estee Lauder to move into this emerging sector," said Aitan Zacharin, Chief Executive Officer of The Greater Cannabis Company. "Our unique and proven technology, coupled with the high stability of our product formulations well positions us to meet the market's demand for CBD-infused beauty and cosmetic products."
"CBD has a broad range of benefits in topical application, including antioxidants for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory for acne and more," added Zacharin. "But bioavailability and stability are enormously important to its effectiveness, which is our significant competitive advantage."
Outside the US, Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF) announced that it has signed multi-channel distribution agreements for its Kuida® cosmeceutical brand with Fedco and Linio, two of the most prominent consumer distribution channels for wellness and beauty products in Colombia. In combination with the initial product launch through Farmatodo and Farmalisto, it is anticipated that the Kuida® brand will now be made available in up to 78 retail locations and through the country's leading online portal for beauty products. Initially focused on distribution in Colombia, these agreements create potential for the Company to further expand distribution across other Latin America jurisdictions.
Alvaro Torres, CEO and a Director of Khiron, comments: "These agreements with Fedco and Linio further deliver on our market strategy for Kuida® and provide the flexibility to tap into cross-selling opportunities as consumers increasingly adopt CBD based cosmeceuticals into their skincare regimen. We look forward to working with some of the largest retailers in Colombia as the Kuida® brand increases its presence in the marketplace and is positioned for future growth."
Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) is looking into beauty and wellness Internationally, as through its subsidiary Aphria Deutschland GmbH, it recently launched the Company's first CBD-based nutraceutical, the first product in its CBD-based cosmetics line for the German market. Featuring CBD derived from hemp, the CannRelief brand of products are being produced in the European Union and distributed by the Company's subsidiary, CC Pharma, which has access to more than 13,000 pharmacies throughout Germany.
With the beauty and wellness market expected to have continued growth and consumer mindsets changing, we can expect more cannabis companies to diversify into this area as well as increased interest from large scale retailers, as seen recently from Walmart.

How we killed, sold victim's body parts – Ogun murder suspects
Three suspects arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for the alleged killing, dismembering, and sale of body parts talk to DAUD OLATUNJI about their involvement
Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Idowu Abel and I am 30 years old. I am married with three children and my eldest child is seven years old.
I am an auxiliary nurse who treats patients in their homes. I learnt auxiliary nursing for three years.
How were you arrested?
I was arrested for the kidnapping and murder of my friend, Muyiwa (Adekunle). We only got to know each other for about two months. He was someone who enjoyed drinking, so we often visited each other. About a month ago, Pastor Ajadi called and told me to come to his place and that was where and how I met Boko, a herbalist. About a week later, Boko called and told me to meet him. He told me he needed a human head, heart, hands, and legs.
What did he tell you he needed the body parts for?
He only said he wanted to use them for a money ritual.
What did he promise to give you in return?
He promised to give me N200,000 if I helped him get them, and from that amount, he gave me N80,000.
Did you agree willingly to help him get the body parts?
Yes, I did. When I agreed to get the parts for him, I discussed it with Clement, 'Baba Christy'. When we reached an agreement to carry out the task, Boko gave us an initial payment of N80,000 and we shared it equally, at N40,000 each. After sharing the money with Clement, we planned how to do the job. On November 10, we took Muyiwa to the farm at Ifako where we killed and dismembered his body.
Who was Clement to you?
We knew each other from the same community. We both attended the same school as the pastor.
Were you not bothered about taking a human life when you planned to kill your friend?
I know he will never forgive me for what I have done. When I was killing him, I didn't feel alright doing it. I was afraid.
Did you become friends with Muyiwa so you could kill him?
No, we had known each other for some time. We often went to a bar to drink alcohol together. We didn't even choose him (Muyiwa) as our victim; it was just fate that made him the victim.
How did you take him to the farm where you killed him?
We went to a bar to drink alcohol on that day. I was the one who bought the alcohol on that day and I told him that I wanted to go to Ifako, but he said he would follow me since we went out together. When we got there, he had a convulsion that rendered him weak and helpless on the floor. He often had episodes of convulsion whenever he drank alcohol, so it was not new to me. It was at that moment that I killed him. I beheaded him with a machete on Clement's farm.
What do you think you deserve for what you did?
Well, the Bible is clear. It says anyone who kills by machete shall be killed by machete. However, I don't know the judgment that will be given to me now but I acknowledge the fact that I am in serious trouble. So, I don't know what I can do for now.
I removed victim's heart, severed his hands, feet – Ajile
How are you connected to this case?
My name is Clement Ajile. I am a 50-year-old farmer from Owode in Ogun State. I have a wife and am blessed with four children. I don't really know Boko (the herbalist) but Abel was close to him. Abel told me that Boko told him he needed some (body) parts like a head, hands, feet and heart. So, I asked him how he planned on getting the human parts for Boko. We agreed to kill his friend on my farm and sever his (body) parts.
He called me when he had taken his friend (Muyiwa) to my farm. I later went to meet them there. It seemed Muyiwa was drunk when I got there because he behaved like someone who had epilepsy. He rolled on the floor unconsciously when I arrived at the farm.
Did you know Muyiwa before he was killed?
No, I am not familiar with him. Abel was close to him. Initially, when Abel told me about the human parts Boko needed, he didn't know how to get them but since he had given me N40,000 out of the N80,000 Boko gave him, we had no option but to kill Muyiwa.

Iraq: An Israeli Withdrawal from the Jordan Valley Will Turn Israel's Border into a Magnet for Al-Qaeda - Pazit Ravina (Makor Rishon-Hebrew, 14Feb 2014)
At a meeting in Rome a month ago, Western diplomats quoted sources in the Iraqi government leadership who warned: "The American plan for an Israeli withdrawal from the Jordan Valley will turn Israel's eastern border into a magnet for al-Qaeda groups."
"Militants from throughout the Middle East are flowing into the region between Anbar province in Iraq and the eastern deserts of Syria and Jordan. Their influence will also permeate into the territory of Palestine and will change the appearance of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Iran to Insist on Installing Advanced Centrifuges, Retaining Arak Heavy Water Reactor
Iranian nuclear negotiator Hamid Ba'eedinejad said Sunday: "We will definitely not agree to Iran not being allowed to replace its existing centrifuges with different kinds of advanced and new ones."
"The Arak heavy water reactor is also one of the most important and difficult issues which will be examined and discussed in the process of negotiations and we certainly seek to retain this reactor." (Press TV-Iran)
Saudis Agree to Provide Syrian Rebels with Mobile Antiaircraft Missiles - Maria Abi-Habib and Stacy Meichtry
Washington's Arab allies, disappointed with Syria peace talks, have agreed to provide rebels there with more sophisticated weaponry, including shoulder-fired missiles that can take down jets, according to Western and Arab diplomats and opposition figures.
Saudi Arabia has offered to give the opposition for the first time Chinese man-portable air defense systems, or Manpads, and antitank guided missiles from Russia.
The U.S. has long opposed arming rebels with antiaircraft missiles for fear they could fall into the hands of extremists who might use them against the West or commercial airlines. (Wall Street Journal)

PA Tells Kerry: No to Framework Deal - Avi Issacharoff
The Palestinian Authority has informed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that it will not accept his framework peace proposal as it currently stands, PA officials told the Times of Israel. The officials claimed that the Obama administration's current proposal, which is intended to serve as the basis for continued talks on a two-state solution, does not address vital requirements from the Palestinian side.
"We said 'No' to him in the past, and we will say it again in the future," a senior PA administrator said. According to this official, accepting the current version of the framework accord is unthinkable for the PA. (Times of Israel)
Netanyahu: Iran Enjoys Benefits of Eased Sanctions without Altering Behavior
Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday: "It is Iran which has gained without giving anything significant. It has received a major easing of sanctions and the Iranian economy is already responding appropriately. Iran is also continuing its aggressive policy both inside Iran and outside Iran. Inside Iran, it is executing innocent people. Outside Iran, it supports the continued killings by the Syrian regime, which would be unable to act without it, without its support."
"Iran is also continuing to arm terrorist organizations with advanced, deadly weapons and, of course, it is continuing to call for the destruction of the State of Israel. At the same time, Iran is continuing with advanced research and development of centrifuges. Iran is not prepared to concede even one centrifuge....Iran does not need any centrifuges for nuclear power for civilian purposes." (Prime Minister's Office)
Israeli Minister: "America Is Our Greatest Ally" - Tovah Lazaroff
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett defended U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's record on Israel at the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations mission in Jerusalem on Monday. Bennett said, "Kerry is not an anti-Semite; who ever suggested that is flatly wrong." "America is our greatest alley, it is our strategic friend," he added.

Global Commentary and Think-Tank Analysis (Best of U.S., UK, and Israel):
Handing the Middle East to Russia - Amir Taheri
Some 40 years ago, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat ended his regime's alliance with, and reliance on, the Soviet Union, and joined the Middle Eastern bloc of nations close to the U.S. The switch led to the Camp David peace accords. The Middle East now faces a power vacuum and some in the region think Russia could and should assume that role.
On Syria, Obama has given Russia a permanent veto over U.S. policy. Arab sources tell me that Kerry has advised them not to press on with a new UN resolution seeking greater pressure on Assad so as not to antagonize "our Russian partners."
Last month, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi intelligence and security head, flew to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin. Arab sources say he evoked the prospect of giving Russia a share of the kingdom's huge arms imports and joint ventures in oil and gas projects.
Iran has offered Russia "preferential conditions" in developing oilfields in the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. President Hassan Rouhani even spoke of a Tehran-Moscow "strategic partnership" to rid "our region from the influence of distant powers," i.e., the U.S. Over the past six months, Moscow has played host to delegations from Pakistan, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq. Turkey, although a NATO member, has opened negotiations to purchase Russian arms.
Egypt's new military dictator, Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, flew to Moscow this month, the only foreign capital he has visited since his coup last July. Sisi discussed buying $2.2 billion in Russian arms - restoring the position Russia lost in the 1970s. (New York Post)
Suppressing the Urge to Survive - Wesley Pruden
The Israelis have this unreasonable itch to survive. Self-preservation is the strongest human urge, but only the Israelis, alone in the world, are expected to suppress the urge and die without making a lot of unseemly fuss and noise about it. You don't have to be Jewish to share the outrage.
Mr. Kerry has devised a formula that might look good on a State Department white paper, but it assumes that everyone will be nice. Too bad, but Israel's critics and tormentors don't do nice.
The Palestinians could have their state on the West Bank if they would give up the fantasy of destroying the Israelis and getting it all. The Israelis would be pleased in the event to help the Palestinians make a success of nationhood. (Washington Times)
Israeli Water, Mideast Peace? - Seth M. Siegel (New York Times)
Water scarcity is brewing as a major threat to Middle East stability. One country in the region might have a solution to these water woes: Israel. It shares the same problems of climate and desertification as its neighbors, but it has mastered the management of water resources, such that it can endure periodic droughts while supporting a growing population.
Wasteful farming practices - in particular, flooding a field to irrigate it - are the biggest factor behind the regional water shortage. Starting in the 1960s, Israeli farmers abandoned this technique in favor of drip irrigation, producing crop yields vastly greater than those with conventional irrigation. Israel also treats and reuses more than 80% of its household sewage for agriculture.
More than half of Israel's drinking water - purer, cleaner and less salty than natural sources - now comes from desalinated seawater. Israel's self-sufficiency is also dependent on robust public education, an obsession with fixing leaks, and efforts to catch rainwater and reduce evaporation.
Israel has transformed water from a struggle with nature to an economic input: You can get all you want if you plan and pay for it.
As water problems grow, one hopes that ideology will give way to pragmatism and may open a door to an Arab and Islamic outreach to Israel. Rather than seeing Israel as a problem, Israel's antagonists would be wise to see it as a solution.

Vols rarely hurt by QB transfers
David Climer
dclimer@tennessean.com
Riley Ferguson, the anointed savior of Tennessee Vols football, is transferring elsewhere.
Woe is UT.
Well, not so much.
For those late to the story, Ferguson is the best quarterback never to play a down in the SEC. Seldom has so much been expected of someone who has done so little.
Ferguson spent his first season with the Vols as a redshirt but his legend grew with each game he missed, thanks in part to the shortcomings of UT's other quarterbacks and the unbridled hope that someone — anyone — eventually would come to the rescue.
PREVIOUSLY:Vols lose Riley Ferguson
PREVIOUSLY:UT waits for QB to emerge
Now he's transferring, UT coach Butch Jones said, a development that sent some Vols fans to the nearest ledge.
Remember all those quarterbacks who transferred out of UT and hit it big elsewhere?
Neither do I.
OK, there have been a few guys who had some success once they transferred. But none of them really left the Vols in a lurch at quarterback. While each left for varying reasons, none was positioned for stardom at UT when he hit the road.
Steve Matthews, from Tullahoma, signed with UT in 1989 and redshirted his first year before playing sparingly as a backup to Andy Kelly in 1990. Matthews transferred to Memphis, where he finished his college career and put up big numbers.
But it's not like the departure of Matthews, now football coach at Knoxville Catholic High, left the Vols high and dry at quarterback. After Kelly graduated, Heath Shuler stepped in. Matthews merely saw the writing on the wall — in the form of a depth chart.
Although he split snaps with a fellow freshman in 1994, Branndon Stewart took stock of his situation and transferred to Texas A&M, where he had a nice career and was 23-11 as a starter. But the other quarterback in that freshman class at UT proved to be a bit better. Some guy named Manning.
(Interesting aside: Stewart's high school coach in Stephenville, Texas, was Art Briles, who currently is working wonders at Baylor. Stewart and Briles were inducted into the Texas High School Sports Hall of Fame in the same class in 2008.)
Brent Schaeffer started UT's opening game in 2004 over fellow freshman Erik Ainge and certainly had a few electric moments for the Vols but had trouble staying out of trouble and ultimately left school.
After a side trip to junior college in California, Schaeffer landed at Ole Miss, where his most enduring impact is as a name in the musical parody about the Ed Orgeron coaching reign of error — "Colonel Reb Is Crying."
B.J. Coleman left after spring practice in 2009. He finished his college career at Chattanooga in his hometown and ultimately was a seventh-round draft pick by the Packers. At UT, though, Coleman could not get past Jonathan Crompton on the depth chart.
Nick Stephens hit the road in 2010 because he wanted to start for someone as a college senior. He landed at Tarleton State in Texas and since has bounced on and off a few NFL rosters. He was in the Titans' training camp in 2012 and was on the Ravens' practice squad last season.
Nick Lamaison, whose recruitment out of junior college to UT never made sense to begin with, transferred after the 2010 season. Hardly anyone noticed.
In 2012, Nash Nance, who came to UT with high school teammate Da'Rick Rogers, transferred to Hampden-Sydney. Enough said.
Now it's Ferguson, who is leaving for parts unknown and reasons untold. So be it. At age 19, he is free to change his mind at the drop of a football. For one reason or another, he's decided UT is not the place for him and has chosen to look elsewhere. Farewell and good luck.
PREVIOUSLY:Vols fans hope Ferguson can fill QB need
What now? Ferguson's decision leaves UT with three scholarship quarterbacks — senior Justin Worley and sophomores Josh Dobbs and Nathan Peterman. No Heisman Trophy campaigns are in the works.
Moving forward, it is a position of need. Frankly, it's a position of need right now.
Jones' stated philosophy is to sign at least one quarterback per recruiting class and sometimes two. But the Vols came up empty at the position in the Class of 2014. Of the 11 early commitments in the next recruiting class, none projects as a quarterback in college, although the Vols are in hot pursuit of a couple.
In time, things will come into focus. As for Riley Ferguson, he's out of the picture. And history tells us that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Today the UN had to suspend its planned humanitarian intervention as part of the implementation of the ceasefire agreement on Zabadani, Madaya, Fua, and Kefraya due to the recent surge of military activities in the concerned areas.
The UN team and humanitarian partners, in fact, had made all necessary preparations and were in place to immediately implement the humanitarian provisions of the agreement.
The Syrian population in these affected areas is waiting for this agreement to be implemented so that needed humanitarian assistance can be provided to end their long-standing suffering.
The UN calls on all concerned parties to fulfill their responsibilities in the protection of civilians and reach the necessary understandings in order to implement this agreement as soon as possible. The UN reaffirms its commitment to the protection of civilians and remains ready to assist.
As part of his consultations with regional stakeholders and members of the Security Council, Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura visited Beijing today where he met with the Chinese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Li Baodong, and the Director-General of the Department of International Organizations and Conferences, Mr. Li Junhua. During his meetings in Beijing, the Special Envoy discussed the regional situation and the importance for the Security Council members to reach a common understanding on how to proceed with a political process aimed at operationalizing the Geneva Communiqué.
Prior to Beijing, the Special Envoy went to Cairo especially to have a meeting with the Secretary-General of League of Arab States Mr. Nabil El Araby. On that occasion, Mr. de Mistura had the opportunity of discussing the future meeting at the Security Council on Syria and to exchange views on ways to promote a political solution to the conflict.
While in Cairo, Mr. De Mistura also met with Syrian opposition figures present there.
20 July 2015, Geneva
كجزء من مشاوراته مع الأطراف المعنية الإقليمية وأعضاء مجلس الأمن، زار مبعوث الأمم المتّحدة الخاص إلى سوريا ستيفان دي مستورا بكين اليوم حيث التقى مع نائب وزير الشئون الخارجية الصيني، السيد لي باو دونغ، والمدير العام لشؤون المنظمات والمؤتمرات الدولية، السيد لي جونهوا. خلال لقاءاته في بكين، ناقش المبعوث الخاص الوضع الإقليمي وأهمية أن يتوصّل أعضاء مجلس الأمن إلى تفاهم مشترك حول كيفية المضي قدماً في العملية السياسية التي تهدف إلى تنفيذ بيان جنيف.

20 يوليو 2015، جنيف
United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Mr. Staffan de Mistura continued his meetings today in the framework of the Geneva Consultations.
He met with the president and members of the political committee of the Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces (SOC) in Istanbul.
Mr. de Mistura listened to the views of his interlocutors regarding the operationalization and implementation of the Geneva Communiqué.
Both parties agreed on the importance and urgency of finding a political solution to the current ongoing conflict.
They also concurred on the urgency of an immediate halt of the killing and targeting of civilians.
"My visit to SOC today demonstrates, once again, that the purpose of these Consultations was and remains to give the chance to all Syrians to share their views of what a future Syria should look like," Mr. de Mistura said.
Meanwhile in Geneva, Deputy Special Envoy Ramzy Ezzeldine Ramzy met with Mr. Samir Aita and Mr. Ziad Tlas who briefed on the deteriorating situation in Syria. Mr. Ramzy also met with a delegation of Japan, led by Ambassador Misako Kaji, who briefed on Japan's support for the United Nations' efforts to ameliorate the humanitarian situation in Syria. They discussed the ongoing initiatives to help Syrians reach a political solution to the conflict.
Mr. Ramzy observed that today's meetings in Geneva once again confirmed the desire of the international community, from far and near, to help resolve the Syrian conflict and mitigate its humanitarian consequences. He also noted that continued inaction to end the conflict is only making the military and security situation in Syria more complex.
On 21 May, Mr. de Mistura received a delegation from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, led by Mr. Nawaf Al Tal, Adviser to the Foreign Minister. Mr. Al Tal shared his Government's assessments of the situation in Syria, the extent of the humanitarian suffering and its impact on the neighboring countries, as well as ways to end the conflict there through diplomatic efforts. In his separate meeting with a delegation of the European Union, led by EEAS Managing Director Mingarelli, the Special Envoy heard the EU's emphasis on a search for a political solution to the Syrian crisis. Mr. Mingarelli reiterated the EU's full support for the OSE-led effort to create a conducive environment for the resumption of a meaningful political process. The Special Envoy also met with Ms. Basma Kodmani, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative, Mr. Samir Aita, member of the Syrian Democratic Forum, and Mr. Nabil Kassis of the Al-Waed party. At the end of the day, Mr. de Mistura observed that, "deepening humanitarian and security concerns, as well as the evolving priorities of the people in Syria, are outpacing discussions over a political solution in Syria. The ISIL/Daesh offensive on Palmyra is a stark reminder of that", he stressed. Mr. de Mistura also took note of calls on the United Nations to redouble efforts to help Syrian and regional actors reach an agreement on a peaceful future Syria.


There's nothing I look forward to more on a working morning than checking my email for new posts from my favorite bloggers. The blogs listed below are my must-reads. I hope you find in them a blog you love too!


On Thursday, June 28, ZIF hosted an exclusive roundtable discussion with the Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), Mr. Zahir Tanin. Special Representative of the UN-Secretary-General (SRSG) Tanin briefed about current developments in the country and in the UN mission such as general security, the relationship and talks between Kosovo and Serbia and the transition of the EU Rule of Law mission, EULEX Kosovo. Tanin found positive words for the German commitment in Kosovo. Especially the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) - with a strong German military contribution since 1999 - was one of the topics of discussion, many considering KFOR as a guardian of stability in the country.
Afghan native Zahir Tanin serves as SRSG in Kosovo since 2015, following an outstanding international career. Prior to his appointment as SRSG, he was Permanent Representative for Afghanistan to the United Nations. The ZIF roundtable talk was part of his official visit to Berlin.
UNMIK has been established by the UN Security Council Resolution 1244 in 1999. The Mission is mandated to help ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosovo and advance regional stability in the Western Balkans. Almost 400 civilian staff (a majority of them Kosovars) and some police and military observers serve for UNMIK. SRSG Tanin is furthermore responsible for the coordination of UNMIK and EULEX activities.

Early in May, I received an email from a person named Darrian who was interested in having their 2013 ZL1 Camaro featured on ShockerRacing.com. I asked for some photos and some more details about the car and what mods had been done to the car. Darrian sent me some pics of the black fifth generation ZL1 Camaro and explained that it was stock. I thought to myself, where is the story here? Yes, the ZL1 Camaro is potent in stock form being powered by the supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter overhead valve LSA V-8 from GM. It's rocking 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque and will hit 0-60 in 4.2 seconds but you can read about that and see pics in any Road and Track or Motor Trend magazine. I was then informed that Darrian had a photoshoot scheduled with none other than Goyk Photo and that SHE was a member of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Indy Girls Team! I began to put the puzzle pieces together and found out that Darrian Arch was also Miss Indiana Teen USA for 2013.


Professional athletes like golf professional Tiger Woods, tennis star Rafael Nadal and many, many professional baseball players have all received platelet-rich plasma therapy following injuries to speed up the healing time and avoid surgery. Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated source of blood plasma that is derived from whole blood. It contains a concentration of growth factors that can speed up the healing process by stimulating healing of soft tissue and joints.
Normal whole blood is made up of approximately 93% red blood cells, 6% white blood cells and 1% platelets. For PRP the concentration of platelets is 94%, and it is full of growth factors and cytokines that will stimulate cell regeneration and accelerate healing. Following an injury, the body's first response is to send platelets to stop the bleeding, initiate repair and attract stem cells to the area. Physicians trained to provide plasma-rich therapy use it to treat acute muscle strains, tendinitis, muscle-fascial injuries, wounds and hair loss. PRP therapy is a concentration of up to 7 different growth factors and cytokines that reduce inflammation and pain and accelerates tissue regeneration and healing.
How is platelet-rich plasma created?
Blood contains plasma, red cells, white cells and platelets. Platelets contain proteins called growth factors that are critical to cell regeneration and healing. For PRP therapy, a small amount blood is drawn from the patient and then put into a centrifuge, a device that spins at a very high speed, separating the platelets from the other components of the blood. The result is a concentration of platelets 3-10 times higher than normal physiological levels. This concentration is then reinjected back into the patient, in the specific area that needs to be treated.
How are PRP injections administered?
The prepared platelets are injected back into the patient at the site of injury. The entire process takes about 1 hour and is relatively painless. Because the blood used is taken from the patient, the procedure is relatively safe with no risk of an allergic reaction. A needle is injected into the skin and this means there is a very slight risk of injection, bleeding or nerve damage but these risks are very rare. More than 100 professional athletes including players from the NBA, NFL, PGA and MLB have received PRP therapy. Contact us to see if plasma-rich protein therapy is right for you.

Q&A: Stratus Technologies' David Laurello on company growth
The company is seeing renewed interest in its fault-tolerant servers, he says
By Patrick Thibodeau
Senior Editor, Computerworld |
Stratus Technologies International, a Maynard, Mass.-based maker of fault-tolerant servers, this morning released its earnings for the first time in five years. The company posted revenue of $63.6 million for its third quarter, the same as in the third quarter of its previous fiscal year. Stratus also reported a net loss of $3.6 million, compared with a $1.1 million loss in the year-earlier quarter.
The earnings report represents a milestone for the company, which was split in two following its acquisition by Ascend Communications in 1998 and reunited last year. David J. Laurello, the company's president and CEO, said in an interview with Computerworld that the company's growth is coming from sales of fault-tolerant (FT) Windows- and Intel-based servers, which are built with components and software for redundancy.
Stratus is holding its first earnings call in five years today. What does this mean, and why are you doing it? Late last calendar year, we completed a $170 million bond offering. Bonds are traded in a public market, and you follow a lot the same financial disclosure rules as a public, equity-based company. That's the primary reason [for] this earnings call, and we will continue to do earnings calls.
What was lost and gained following the Ascend Communications acquisition and the subsequent split of the company along its telco and enterprise computing divisions? Back then, the telco division of Stratus developed a signaling gateway application or soft switch. That division moved fairly seamlessly into Ascend and had a very focused telco offering. The singular focus of Stratus Technologies, which was spun out from Ascend, was the enterprise business. What was launched from that spin-out was a drive into the open platform marketplace.
David J. Laurello, president and CEO of Stratus Technologies International
At that time, Stratus would sell fault-tolerant computers from anywhere from $250,000 to $1 million. Today, our average system price is in the low $30,000s. The spin-out really enabled us to invest in taking FT to a Windows, Intel microprocessor-based platform.
So prior to that, it was a proprietary server line? We had our VOS proprietary operating system, which was the original operating system designed on the platform, and we had two Unix offerings. We had our own Unix, FTX and HP-UX, which we ported to our platform.
What's the future of your legacy server line? We continue to sell our legacy line, Continuum. And the reason we do is because a lot of our applications are very 'sticky' to the platform. In the late 1980s and 1990s, we sold our product to customers that ran their most mission-critical applications on our box. And once it's up and running, our customers tend not to want to change it. If you make an 800 call in the United States, it goes through a Stratus box. If you use an Amex card, in a lot of countries, it goes through a Stratus box. So a lot of people don't like to change that application.
Customers continue to buy as capacity needs increase. We continue to sell our legacy line, and we will continue to sell it forever, for as long as there is a demand.
Will your legacy users be facing an end-of-life scenario at some point? We continue to upgrade the Continuum platform. For our VOS customers, we are actually taking the VOS operating system and migrating it onto the ftServer, the Windows-based server, platform. So we will be providing our legacy customers with a very seamless upgrade from VOS on Continuum to VOS on ftServer. We continue to remain loyal to our installed base, and we will continue to support them.
How important is the ftServer to your company? That's where all our new business is coming from. We started shipping in June 2001, and since then, we've sold over 850 new customers. If you look at the five-year period before we introduced ftServer, we were lucky if we had 20 customers. The new price point and the need for availability in many more applications is really driving our growth.
What are your plans for Linux? In June 2004, our plan is to release a Linux on ftServer. This will primarily be focused on the telco marketplace. In 1998, telco was 50% of our business; now it's about 25%. With this new Linux ftServer, we're really excited about driving some growth in the telco area.
What are your servers competing against? The competition that we come up against the most is Windows clusters. That is the technology that got established in the mid-1990s and has become the alternative to fault-tolerant systems. We offer continuous availability. If there is failure in a cluster, the system has to fail over -- and while that system fails over from one to the other, you are going to get downtime.
With Stratus ftServer, we have full redundancy, and so when there is a failure, the system continues to run. There is no loss of in-flight data; with a cluster, if you have that failure, any data that is in the middle of being calculated is lost. Transient errors, caused by things such as power spikes, will cause a cluster to crash.
The second element is simplicity. When you buy a cluster, that's when the work really starts. You have to do a fair amount of scripting, testing of that scripting, and anytime a new operating system is installed, you have to redo that scripting and testing. With ftServer, just boot the system, load the application and away you go. Those two elements deliver a significant financial advantage.

Many Freemasons Lodges have been operating continuously for more than 250 years. Junior Chamber Lodge, No 8902 is relatively new having been in existence for only 35 years. Five of the twenty one Masons who founded the Lodge are still members.
As is the case with many Lodges in this country, Junior Chamber Lodge is one of those set up by Freemasons with a particular interest or background. There are many "old school" Lodges, University Lodges, and Lodges founded by Masons from particular professions such as lawyers or undertakers, and Masons with sporting interests such as golf, rugby, or fishing. There are even Lodges founded by motoring enthusiasts. In our own case all of our founders were members, or past members, of what was then called British Junior Chamber. Today it is known as Junior Chamber International (JCI) which is an international leadership training organisation whose membership, like Freemasonry, is spread over the four quarters of the globe. It is now known in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as JCI UK. Scotland and Ireland, like other countries across the world, have their own national organisations.
Even today the majority of our current members are still past members of Junior Chamber, and the Lodge maintains an association with the organisation through its membership of the JCI UK Foundation and sponsorship of awards. Several of our members are also JC I Senators - life members of JCI and members of the British JCI Senate. Nevertheless any man is welcome to join our Lodge regardless of whether or not he has ever been a JCI member.
Our current Worshipful Master is one who has never been a Junior Chamber member.
W.Bro. David Ward was installed as Worshipful Master on 16th September 2017. In the photo below he is accompanied by the Assistant Provincial Grand Master, Richard L. Barker, on his right, and the Immediate Past Master, John K. Starley on his left.


More than 5,000 children learned dance from Patricia Schuster, a professional ballet dancer who brought the art of fine dance to Ridgefield in 1965 and whose legacy is alive — and dancing — today.
Born in 1937, the Ohio native grew up in New York City, Schuster studied at the American Ballet Theater School and with teachers from the Royal Ballet and the Kirov Ballet. She danced professionally with the Brooklyn Opera Company, the Boris Goldovsky New England Opera Theater, and other companies.
In 1964 she moved to Ridgefield and a year later opened the Patricia Schuster School of Dance in the Community Center. Later, she renamed the school the Ridgefield Studio of Classical Ballet. In 1978 she also founded the Ridgefield Civic Ballet, which staged many productions with local students and international stars.
A number of her students have gone on to professional ballet, including James Fayette, who was a leading dancer with the New York City Ballet and is now a director, with his wife, of a school in Los Angeles.
Schuster died in 1999 and in May 2000, it was revealed that she had bequeathed her Ridgefield Studio of Classical Ballet to the Friends of the Ridgefield Playhouse, the organization that was renovating the old high school auditorium into a performing arts center. In its early years the Ridgefield Playhouse provided a venue for both classes and performances, and still is a stage for performances under its new management, the Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance.
"The Playhouse embraced the school as its dance school in residence and, recognizing that the school needed and deserved its own management structure, acted as a bridge to its new life as a non-profit with its own board and management," said the Conservatory, which now has its school at 440 Main Street. Schuster's bequest included funds to support the project.

Start by adding all of the spices and water to a pot. Bring to a full boil, then turn down heat to medium low and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the tea bags and cover to steep for 20 minutes. Add the vanilla and stir. Once cool, pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth. I found a cheese cloth worked best to get the majority of the spice out for the perfect balance.
Use equal parts concentrate and your favorite milk. I love mine with unsweetened coconut milk or goats milk. Jared likes his with regular dairy milk. You can drink this heated or over ice for a nice cool latte.
If you prefer more sweetness, add some honey to taste. If you find this too spicy, try running it through the strainer another time. This does best kept in the fridge so you can pull it out whenever you are craving a tasty treat.
Hop to it! That way you can hurry up and relax!! Enjoy!!

Hi there and thanks for your excellent work!
I have one suggestion concerning the QSL labels. Using the "Swisslog" program, I used to print the data directly on the QSL card, filling in the pre-printed fields. It would thus be greate to have a QSL label designer, which allows me to create my own layout(s) and move the single fields according to my needs.
Guess it's a bunch of work .. but would make the label printing option much more valueable.
Why not print a label to the size of your card data?
Sorry Kurt I should have been specific!
With Log4OM you can design the size of your label.
If the area on your QSL card where you complete the details of the QSO is for example about 100 x 65 mm just buy some labels that are large enough to cover that area.
Then set up the label designer in Log4Om to the size of label that you purchased and save the layout - Now in Label print select that label that you just designed and print the labels to fix on to the card.
Whilst writing can you let me know why you said "(Ham Radio Deluxe to Log4Om to QSLing tool)" are you logging with HRD and then transferring an ADIF to Log4OM?
G4POP wrote: With Log4OM you can design the size of your label.
That's right, but I use this kind of old fashioned QSL cards where the QSO details are distributed all over the form, like QSL manager is on top right side, QSO partner below the manager, QSL please/thanks is at bottom right side etc. If I'd print a big label and stick it over the different fields, it would just look ugly. That's the reason why I printed directly on the card.
G4POP wrote: Whilst writing can you let me know why you said "(Ham Radio Deluxe to Log4Om to QSLing tool)" are you logging with HRD and then transferring an ADIF to Log4OM?
as I said..busy times...my HRD log is still on MS Access, had no time to transfer it to mySQL yet. If I'm not wrong, I cannot connect Log4OM directly to this *.mdb, right? It needs to be SQL?
However, yes... at the moment my solution is to export an ADIF from HRD, import it to Log4OM and enjoy its perfect QSL managing tool I really like this feature and the possibility to print the address labels for direct cards too. Just great!
So thanks for all the work you guys do for us, and looking forward for new updates !
I understand you dilemma with the cards so we need to press Daniele to add a card designer Hi!
at the moment my solution is to export an ADIF from HRD, import it to Log4OM and enjoy its perfect QSL managing tool I really like this feature and the possibility to print the address labels for direct cards too!
Once you have imported your log from HRD in ADIF format there is no need to be able to access the .MDB of HRD unless you are continuing to log in HRD, is that what you are doing, using HRD to log and LOG4OM just for QSL management?
If that is true why is it that you prefer to log in HRD?
As already said...to have a label/card designer would be a very nice option, but I personally would be fine with a simple config file. The single fields have a X/Y position already, why not writing them into an *.ini or *.cfg instead of the hardcoding.. usually a user will adapt a layout once according to he's needs, then he will work with it for at least a while. A better option than to have a designer would be to have the possibility to choose between different (self-designed) layouts out of the *.ini or *.cfg file.


Hawarden's Miriam Clark steeled herself waiting for a decision on whether she had been awarded a John Waller Memorial Scholarship.
The 18-year-old former Hurunui College head girl had even given herself a pep talk, deciding it was fine either way and that it was an honour to get through to the interview stage.
Last week, she learned she was one of three winners from 270 applicants, to be awarded the scholarship for study at the University of Canterbury next year.
"I still really can't believe it," says Miriam, who will receive more than $18,000 over three years, as well as a summer internships at the BNZ bank and consultancy firm PwC, as well as mentoring from their staff.
"It will help so much with my costs and opens up so many opportunities as well, such as job offers at the end, which is amazing," she says.
Miriam plans to study commerce, majoring in business management, and also learn about sustainability and entrepreneurship.
She was head girl at Hurunui College in Hawarden in 2017, but took a gap year in 2018.
"I had worked really hard for the last three years at school and decided to have a break from study and do lots of adventuring," Miriam says.
She represented Canterbury as one of 18 young leaders who joined a Young Blake Expedition in the Kermadec Islands, conducting climate and marine research last March. Since she was 10-years-old she has been involved in the Nina Valley Restoration Group, a community group aiming to return the valley to pre-European status, and she founded Projekt Pukeko, a restoration project in a local swamp.
In July last year she received the Mayoral Award for Outstanding Youth Leadership in recognition of her leadership work that has made her an inspirational role model for youth in the district. She was also recognised for being a hard-working and diligent student, a dedicated sportswoman and a passionate environmentalist.
She has taken part in many youth conservation projects and events in a bid to restore, influence and find best-practice to deal with issues in the future.

Q: How to cache pickle load to avoid re loading every run? I have a very large pickle file on which I am running some analysis.
Loading it takes up to a minute, and I do it hundreds of times a day.
Is there a way to keep the file contents in memory and avoid re-loading?
Limitations:

*

*I don't want to use notebooks

*I want to be able to change my main script, and not run in a console

*I am using Pycharm

Thanks

A: Can you not keep the unpickled object directory in-memory and re-use it?
import pickle

_CACHED_OBJ = None

def load_object(pickled_value):
    global _CACHED_OBJ
    _CACHED_OBJ = pickle.loads(pickled_value)

def run_your_code():
    # You can use _CACHED_OBJ which is already loaded
    pass

def init():
    load_object(pickled_value)

P.S: I'm not sure how your code is run. If you are running a script, of course the runtime will be short lived and this wouldn't work. If you are running a web server or something on those lines like a long running process and need to access the pickle multiple times, this'd be a potential solution.

A: I found the shelve built in module.
This allows to split the file into chunks which are saved on disk according to some key, then load them when needed.
import shelve

with shelve.open('my_db') as db:
    db['eggs'] = 'eggs'

The underlying serialization uses pickle.
This is not thread safe.

Pam England, author of Birthing From Within and my mentor from years back, says to women who hope to have a normal, unmedicated birth: you must prepare like a tightrope walker who has no net. I totally get it, if you intend an unmedicated birth you will likely put into play the very things that make a difference and support you in achieving that desire: a thoughtful choice in provider and facility, hiring an experienced doula, aligning your body and mind with your intention, and more.
Mindful intention matched with purposeful preparation and grain of salt flexibility are key components to preparing for ANY type of birth. BUT if you've no vision at all for what you are about to enter into nor what you'd like it to look/feel/sound like, you will assuredly fall for anything.
3 Engage your troops! Notice I didn't say: build your team. To engage your troops encourages not only hiring the best of the best for you but also to acknowledge that each player brings something of use to the table! And here's a novel idea: use it! If your midwife recommends 80 grams of protein per day, there's probably a reasoning! If your doula creates tips for the last trimester, they probably came as a result of watching what works! If you massage therapist assigns specific stretches to do at home, it's likely she's felt something that needs a tweak!
Your birth matters...you only have one go at each experience. Make the most of it!
