Women north of 60 are blazing a trail learning how to fight wildfires
By Charlotte Morritt-Jacobs
An all female, non-binary course in the Northwest is taking women through the dos and don'ts of fighting a wildfire.
Nearly 20 participants are learning to use the tools of the trade.
Jennifer Cockney says it's been a confidence builder.
"I was super nervous about two things; the bugs and coming down south and the fitness test oh my goodness," she says. "Yeah they made us run with 25 lbs on our back. I was just thinking this could be a kid on my back or my chihuahua."
Cockney says it's important to be ready for increased fires further north.
"Last year there was a brush fire around Husky Lakes," she says. "And Husky Lakes is getting pretty popular. To protect the ISR, Inuviauluit settlement region, it's important to me too. You're looking at wildfires here in particular.
"There might not be trees in Tuk (Tuktoyaktuk) but we're also learning about the crawling fires and the running fires and the different behaviours of fire."
According to the federal government, the number and intensity of forest fires across the country will increase as a result of the climate crisis.
The government is currently working on a series of reports outlining how the climate crisis will affect each region of the country.
"Compared to urban centres, rural and remote communities often experience greater impacts from climate change, particularly in the Arctic and Subarctic regions where changes in climate are occurring more rapidly than elsewhere in the country," said a government report called Canada in a Changing Climate.
"These communities also tend to have fewer financial, human and formal institutional resources with which to respond to these changes."
The reports will be issued in the fall of 2021 and into 2022.
If Canada's own warning wasn't strong enough, a report issued Aug. 9 by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said that human actions have gone unchecked for so long that it will take hundreds, possibly thousands of years for the earth to revert back to a healthy state.
Since April 1, nearly a thousand forest fires have burned in British Columbia. Both Manitoba and Ontario are also struggling with a high number of fires as a number of First Nations were forced to flee.
So far this year in the Northwest Territories, there have been 137 forest fires – 63 of those are still burning.
Learning to fight fires
The training is taking place this week at Frank's Channel, an hour from Yellowknife, is for women in a supportive environment.
Vanessa Chocolate is going back to work now that her youngest is in school and sees seasonal firefighting as good fit for her family.
"They taught us how to switch the hose into another hose, while they clamp the hose we have to jump into the other side it is a tough thing, and the hoses are strong," she says. "Once they put the water pump back on I was like 'whoaaa somebody hold me back,' so they held me back and we did it though."
The group is learning from role models including Darcie Setzer, a crew member in Inuvik, N.W.T.
"You can definitely see in the classroom people are asking questions, paying attention, excited to learn," Setzer says. "They will stay in the classroom even after and ask you things because they want to know what's the next step and how they become a part of the fire crew."
Yvonne Meulenboek is a fire crew leader in Norman Wells.
"It's not just pound for pound strength," she says. "There's so much tactical stuff and other leadership roles women would be great at. We bring a lot to the table too so it's not to compete with men but to fill the gaps to make a complete crew."
The instructors say the training is a good start to boost the low numbers of women physically in the field.
"I don't know how many times I've been confused with the camp cook or plan section or the warehouse assistant which is great but that's not what I'm here to do," says Meulenboek. "You can feel a little minimized putting all this time and effort into this training into something you don't feel other people see."
With more interest in the program, the territory says it will offer more training next spring.

Welcome to the Devolution
April 7, 2013 by Jeff Dowsing 2 Comments
A long, long time ago in a galaxy not too far away, back when Kevin Bartlett and his Tigers ruled football's suburban jungle, American New Wave band Devo topped the charts with its definitive track 'Whip It'.
Devo – those geeky guys sporting red flower pot hats – took their name from their theory of 'devolution'. In short, instead of continuing to evolve, mankind has actually begun to regress.
So has Devo got to do with footy, or KB I hear you ask?
Well, if what we've seen on the field so far in 2013 is anything to go by, and what can be anticipated next year when the full brunt of Bartlett and his AFL Rules Committee's unrelenting slowdown style of football comes to pass, after decades of becoming 'faster every year' we are finally in the midst of a Devolution.
Of course the early going is renowned for scrappy, fatigue impacted contests, and few have predicted the ramifications of past rule changes with unerring accuracy. Notwithstanding, a 1970's contested, positional style of footy conducive to 'markologists' might not be the worst thing since KB's combover. Question is, will a product more closely resembling the VFL advance the AFL's attempts to conquer the world, or at least Sydney's western frontier?
Even since the introduction of the substitute rule sans cap, teams appear unable to execute physically demanding pressing or flooding tactics for more than brief 'powerplays'. Now that umpires are instructed to 'crack that whip' on players moving the ball after marks and free kicks, and to initiate quick ball ups at stoppages, opportunities to marshal the troops for tactical deployment have evaporated.
Apparently the primary driver is reducing heavy impact collisions, and perhaps a desire to encourage contested situations where the ball is constantly in dispute. However there seems to have been a failure to communicate what this means for the game's spectacle, or the compelling research findings that point to an overall net reduction in injuries being achieved by pushing players to exhaustion. In equating the interchange explosion to using five runners in a 4×400 race Tim Lane opined that the spirit of the game was compromised – but is effectively using three runners and turning football into merely a war of attrition a valid alternative?
Andrew Demetriou's sudden 'thou shalt be an interchange cap next year' decree came as a shock. Credit to the Rules Committee for granting Darren Jolly the opportunity to present his case (after the fact), and the expressed desire to seek the opinions of players, coaches and fans, but I've yet to see a straw poll asking what kind of football floats my boat. Despite all the interactive possibilities of social media, there is a sense of powerlessness over where the AFL is taking the game, and what the next gear change will entail.
Whilst contemporary rules aimed at minimising head, front-on and dangerous sliding contact are more than reasonable, granting players mere seconds to move on the ball, on the back of the substitute rule, is a double whammy that may have club strategists scurrying for answers. It's little wonder sports scientists are on as much coin as many footballers, that wealthier clubs are building institutes of football, and PED's have reared their ugly head. Andy's cap next year represents a triple threat to the game's aesthetic appeal and players' physical coping mechanisms.
Clubs intermittently resting their stars has already come to pass, and in conducive circumstances players en masse, in order to get them past week 22. It's far from ideal. Nor is the inability of strung out players to perform basic skills such as kicking over the metaphorical jam tin or hitting the side of a barn a welcome sight. As for backmen granted nanoseconds to hit a target, being a bowler in the Big Bash would be a more attractive caper.
It'll be interesting to see what footballer prototype will thrive. If stoppages are minimised, how will ruckmen and clearance specialists fare? My guess is tall, big bodied athletic types that are strong overhead will be in demand, as will old school rovers such as KB, funnily enough…
In the past decade the AFL's rules have undergone more changes than David Bowie with all the popularity of Devo and their head gear. Whether the Rules Committee are prone to unwarranted interference or responsibly acting in the best interests of football is a matter for conjecture. Nonetheless, painting a clearer picture of what they see as a Utopian brand of football would be a welcome insight for all concerned. After all, it is 'the people's game', right?

T Bone says
Great writing Jeff. You're a real pro.
I find the evolution of aussie rules more fascinating than any other aspect. Watching the game speed up over the last few years has been thrilling. Its like the game has gone from being a tortoise to a cheetah in a couple of generations. Of course what fast tracked this was bench rotations. Checking the number will of course steer the game's evolution elsewhere. As to whether that's a devolution I'm not sure? You'd reckon those entrusted with the game's best interests have that exactly in mind. If devolving the game back to a speed where player welfare is accommodated then that's got to be a good thing. Let's just hope that whatever way the rules committee folk steer the game is the best one.
Skip of Skipton says
Not Devolution, more a turn around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJFndSJVSYA
It wasn't until 2010 that interchange rotations went crazy (Collingwood), so I don't see a cap on them being too big an intrusion, or something that will be hard to adapt to.
Here's a cover of Turn Around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUrHTYyr8TQ. It's on the Incesticide album.

In the quest to understand damage and failure of ceramics in ballistic events, simplified experiments have been developed to benchmark behavior. One such experiment is known as edge on impact (EOI). In this experiment, an impactor strikes the edge of a thin square plate, and damage and cracking that occur on the free surface are captured in real time with high speed photography. If the material of interest is transparent, additional information regarding damage and wave mechanics within the sample can be discerned. Polarizers can be used to monitor stress wave propagation, and photography can record internal damage. This information serves as an excellent benchmark for validation of ceramic and glass constitutive models implemented in dynamic simulation codes. In this report, recent progress towards predictive modeling of EOI is discussed. Time-dependent crack propagation and damage front evolution in silicon carbide and aluminum oxynitride ceramics are predicted using the Kayenta macroscopic constitutive model. Aspects regarding modeling material failure, variability, and volume scaling are noted. Mesoscale simulations of dynamic failure of anisotropic ceramic crystals facilitate determination of limit surfaces entering the macroscopic constitutive model, offsetting limited available experimental data.

Q: Problems with VBA VARIANT return type and 64-bit build of C++ Excel add-in In the process of migrating our C++ Excel add-in from a 32-bit to 64-bit build I've noticed some odd behaviour with functions that return a VARIANT data type.
For example, we might typically have a declaration like this in the addin VBA wrapper declaring the entry point into the XLL:
Public Declare PtrSafe Function Foo Lib "addin.xll" Alias "xlFoo" () As Variant

and then in the C++ source for the XLL we would have something like this:
VARIANT __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall xlFoo()
{
  int result = calc_foo_int();

  VARIANT ret;
  VariantInit(&ret);
  V_VT(&ret) = VT_I4;
  V_I4(&ret) = result;

  return ret;
}

Now, in the 32-bit world, everything works just fine. We can call this function in a VBA script or in an Excel sheet cell and we will get back the result we were expecting every time.
In the 64-bit world, however, things aren't so great. We can actually call this function just fine inside a VBA script and it will behave normally, but if we try calling it directly from an Excel cell entry, i.e. by typing:
=Foo()

Excel crashes and asks to restart!
I have searched high and low, but I can't find anything anywhere stating that there is any special other way of handling VARIANT return types in 64-bit Excel or that this is somehow problematic and should be avoided (despite being fine in the 32-bit world).
The closest thing I've seen described is in this article, which seems to imply (oddly) that VARIANT return types are not supported in 64-bit Office callback functions:
You must declare the return type explicitly in a VBA macro that you run in a 64-bit environment
So my best hunch is that maybe for the same reason VARIANT return types are not supported by 64-bit Excel addins either, at least as far as being able to be called from cells within a spreadsheet?
Is anyone able to confirm or deny that this is the case or perhaps shed some further light on the issue?
Any and all help gratefully received!
(oh, I should probably point out that I realise using a VARIANT return type for a simple integer value in the case above is overkill - it's just meant to be a simple demonstration case - some of our return types are complex arrays of mixed data types and do warrant a VARIANT return type)

The Best Sports and Exercises to Avoid Injury
August 8, 2019 TimeMagazine Off Health News
The human body is made to move, and physical activity is a requirement for lifelong health. But exercise-related injuries are a significant concern few people think about until it's too late. Even a mild sprain can sideline an athlete for weeks, and a sports-related injury can be debilitating for an older adult. "I think a lot of people, especially those in their 20s and 30s, are interested in doing a lot of exercise but they're not really thinking about injuries," says Dr. Brian Werner, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at the University of Virginia.
Running, for example, is among the most popular forms of exercise in America. But up to half of all runners are injured each year, according to a 2010 study in Current Sports Medicine Reports. "I'm a long-distance runner myself, but it's a high-impact form of exercise and it's not optimal for people trying to avoid getting hurt," Werner says. Also, many runners tend to overdo it. When it comes to running's longevity benefits, researchers have found that running two or three times per week at a slow or moderate pace is optimal.
Especially for those age 40 and older, exercises that place heavy amounts of stress on the knees, shoulders and other joints are going to come with a high risk of injury, Werner says. Examples he raises are basketball, soccer, tennis, or other sports that involve lots of jumping, twisting, or quick changes of direction.
That's not to say these activities are unhealthy, or that people who enjoy them should give them up. A recent study in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that, compared to solo exercise pursuits, activities that involve spending time with others are associated with longer life expectancies. Studies have independently linked both exercise and social interaction with longer lifespans, so it makes sense that combining the two would be beneficial. But while healthy, many of these activities nonetheless carry a high risk for injury.
If a person's goal is to minimize those risks while still getting all the health and longevity benefits of exercise, experts highlight walking and swimming as two low-risk, high-reward pursuits. "Unless you're swimming competitively or for hours every day, it's easy on the joints," says Dr. Kyle Yost, a sports medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Swimming also combines aerobic exercise and resistance training, meaning it improves fitness and strength, he says.
Walking, meanwhile, is associated with both long life and a reduced risk for medical-related expenditures, according to a 2011 study in BMJ Open. A recent study found that brisk walking is especially healthy. "Walking is an outdoor activity that can include spending time with other people, and I think any exercise that combines those two things is going to be very healthy," says Dr. James O'Keefe, a cardiologist and medical director of the Cardio Health & Wellness Center at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute.
Yoga also garners some shout-outs as a low-risk, high-reward form of physical activity. "It has to be done correctly and with good supervision, especially when just starting out, but I think yoga offers a great combination of flexibility and strength training," says Dr. Steven Struhl, an orthopedic surgeon at NYU Langone Health. Flexibility is a "neglected" component of proper health and fitness, he says. "It improves balance and reduces stiffness, which leads to strains or injury."
For fitness enthusiasts who recoil at the idea of a life filled with long walks and yoga, there are ways to lower the injury risks associated with more intense, high-impact sports.
The first tip may induce some yawns. But experts say a moderate approach to any sport or workout is a good way to avoid getting hurt. "Overtraining leads to a lot of injuries," says Yost. If you're playing the same sport or doing the same type of exercise every day—and especially if you're pushing yourself hard—you're asking for trouble.
Taking it easy at the start and slowly working your way up to more intense workouts is another safety measure. "A lot of people start off too heavy or with too much volume," O'Keefe says. If you're intent on running a half-marathon, for example, sign up for next year's—not this year's—and try to mix in some other non-running forms of exercise (swimming, yoga) to build your strength and endurance.
Finally, don't neglect your core. "You get your power from your core, and if it's weak, you tend to overuse your arms or legs, which leads to injury," Struhl says. Pilates classes can improve your core strength. So can gym machines that target your upper and lower back, obliques, and abdominal muscles, he says.
All that said, if you're looking for safe, healthy activities that will lower your risks for injuries—as well as for disease and mortality—easy-on-your-body activities like walking, yoga and swimming are great options.

In Defense of Debby Boone
I am astonished at what was happening with music in 1977. That was the year that punk broke into the mainstream with The Sex Pistols and The Clash both releasing classic albums. Disco was cresting in popularity with the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. Seminal albums by Television, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Bob Marley, Kraftwerk, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Billy Joel, and even Meatloaf were released that year. Other albums like Aja from Steely Dan and Rumors by Fleetwood Mac epitomized the state of mainstream rock in 1977. Hip Hop was taking its first baby steps in parties in New York City. So what was the biggest hit of the year? You Light up My Life by Debby Boone held the top spot on Billboard's chart for 10 weeks.
These days, any mention of You light up My Life to music connoisseurs is bound to elicit eye rolling and possibly a sneer in response. "That's why punk music had to come around, crap like that is unforgivable."
Before I explain why I don't share that sentiment I just want to make sure everyone understands that I know that it is pure pop cheese. It is maudlin, it is syrupy. I don't have a problem with Boone's dedication of the song to her, "Lord and Savior," but for many that just adds to the cringeworthyness of the song.
If I think all of those things are true, why do I not think that this is exactly what punk was made to combat? Surely it's easy to see how Debby Boone and the Sex Pistols are on opposite ends of the musical spectrum. Well sure. Stylistically, politically, and personally they don't have anything in common. I do think that what saves You Light up My Life is that it is honest. There is an authenticity to it that comes through. She believes it and absolutely nailed that performance. Most of us are hardwired to detect phonies. Debby Boone wasn't one and that resonated with the public.
No, in my mind punk was musically rebelling against the likes of Captain and Tennille, Pablo Cruise, and all the other countless acts that peddled similar soulless, contrived material. There's no question that You Light up My Life was made to be sold but Boone's performance is what made it hit the stratosphere. That honesty is what it has in common with Anarchy in the UK.
I firmly believe that if more pop music had been made with the same honesty as You Light up My Life, the punk movement wouldn't have been as necessary from a musical standpoint. Hate on Debby Boone for what she represents if you must but don't saddle her with reason that punk had to come and bloody some noses…

2011 Census ›
Overview of the key elements of the statistical processing of the 2011 Census.
Methodology overview
The purpose of this document is to provide background information on the process that underpins census outputs. Through detailing these processes, users will gain an understanding of the underlying quality of the census outputs.
Statistical processing methodology
The returns from the 2011 Census in Northern Ireland will be subjected to statistical processing with the aim of producing high quality census outputs.
The key elements of the statistical processing will involve:
Edit and imputation
This acknowledges that census returns are sometimes incomplete (that is, respondents do not answer every question) and sometimes inconsistent (for example, in the 2001 Census, some respondents recorded parent-child relationships the 'wrong-way-round', recording the child as the parent). The purpose of edit and imputation processes is the production of a dataset that is internally consistent, and has no relevant missing values for any returned questionnaire.
Coverage assessment and adjustment
This acknowledges that some people will not have been included in a census return, and some people may have been included more than once (for example, the child of a separated couple). This has been addressed primarily through a Census Coverage Survey in which about 14,000 households were visited by trained survey interviewers who conducted a detailed survey that focussed on determining the number of people living at each household on Census Day. Comparison of the responses to the Census and to the Census Coverage Survey have informed adjustments to the census counts that lead to census outputs that are best estimates of the true population, taking account of any people missed or double-counted by the Census.
Statistical Disclosure Control
This acknowledges that while most census outputs take the form of statistical counts, there is a risk that information about an individual person could be deduced from census outputs. For example, if everybody in a particular geographic area was aged under 50 apart from one person of pension age living in a single person household, a cross-tabulation of age and general health would reveal the response of that person to the census question on general health. The census questionnaire gives respondents an assurance that their information will be treated as confidential and statistical disclosure techniques are employed to ensure that the risk of inadvertent disclosure in statistical outputs is minimised.
Specific detail on Statistical Disclosure Control can be found on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) website, describing the principles being applied throughout the UK. The application in Northern Ireland will be similar, except that Local Government Districts (LGDs) will take the place of middle layer Super Output Areas (SOAs) in England and Wales. Similar targeting variables are being used across the UK except, in Northern Ireland, religion is used in place of ethnicity which is used in the rest of Great Britain.
In order to ensure that census outputs across the UK are comparable, similar processes are being applied to each of the Censuses in the UK. ONS is taking the lead in developing the statistical methodology, and accordingly further detail on the statistical methodology used for the 2011 Census in Northern Ireland can be found on the ONS website.
The methodologies described on the ONS website will be applied in Northern Ireland, subject to necessary, but minimal, changes that reflect differences in Northern Ireland. A number of Northern Ireland specific issues are addressed in the additional links below. For example, the geographic base for Northern Ireland census outputs is obviously specific to Northern Ireland and a paper outlining the proposed approach is included below.
'Geographic units for outputs from the 2011 Census - An Information Paper' discusses the geographic basis on which statistical aggregates from the Census are based.

Nebraska Promise makes college a reality for Kearney mother

Tina Smets will attend UNK this fall with financial assistance from Nebraska Promise, a new University of Nebraska program that covers tuition for in-state students from low- and middle-income families. The 31-year-old mother of three will study business administration with a management emphasis through UNK's online program. (Photo by Corbey R. Dorsey, UNK Communications)

UNK Communications
KEARNEY – Tina Smets is a busy mother of three.
She works nights at the Alley Rose restaurant in Kearney, opposite of her husband Aaron's schedule at the local Baldwin Filters plant so they can save money on child care.
Like many young families, finances are a major factor in their decision-making – and college tuition never seemed to fit into their plans.
Although Smets enjoys her job at the Alley Rose, where she's worked the past decade, the 31-year-old recently started to realize she wanted something more.
"What am I going to do next?" the Kearney native asked herself.
She found the answer while scrolling through her Facebook feed after work. That's where she discovered Nebraska Promise, a new University of Nebraska program that covers tuition for in-state students from low- and middle-income families.
Kelly Bartling
"I just decided to apply," Smets said. "It was seriously a 3 a.m., spur-of-the-moment decision."
Announced in April by University of Nebraska President Ted Carter, Nebraska Promise covers up to 30 credit hours per academic year for full-time undergraduate students whose families have an adjusted gross income of $60,000 or less or who qualify for the federal Pell Grant. The program is offered to returning, transfer and new students, both on-campus and online, at any NU campus.
"President Carter's emphasis on affordability, coupled with University of Nebraska quality, is important for both Nebraska families and the future of the state," said Kelly Bartling, vice chancellor for enrollment management and marketing at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
"Especially in these times of economic uncertainty, when families are adjusting to fluctuating sources of income and making decisions about investing their resources for their future, the University of Nebraska at Kearney's value and flexibility to give students numerous options in traditional and online learning have increased interest and applications. We continue to do everything we can to keep the promise of a college education within reach."
The University of Nebraska's previous need-based financial aid program, Collegebound Nebraska, covered tuition for qualifying Pell-eligible Nebraska students. Nearly 3,000 students are attending NU tuition-free under that program. The expanded Nebraska Promise will cover approximately 1,000 additional current and future NU students.
Tina Smets is pictured with her husband Aaron and children, from left, Melissa, 4, Justin, 10, and Jordan, 6. (Brandi Josjor Photography)
Smets is one of more than 1,600 current and prospective UNK students who qualify for the program. Without Nebraska Promise, she wouldn't be attending a university.
"I think it's important for everyone to realize there's an option out there that's not going to put their family in a hole financially," Smets said.
Applying for Nebraska Promise is "as easy as it could possibly be," she said.
The program requires no separate application beyond the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must take at least 12 credit hours per semester and maintain a 2.5 GPA to retain their eligibility.
Smets credited the UNK Admissions and Financial Aid offices for making the application process smooth and stress-free.
"The grant is already in my account waiting for me to sign up for classes," she said. "Everything was super simple."
Starting this fall, Smets will study business administration with a management emphasis through UNK's online program, giving her the flexibility to balance school, work and home life. She's already assisting with the bookkeeping at Alley Rose and hopes a four-year degree will land her a higher-paying position that also supports the community, potentially at a school or hospital.
For anyone else who's thinking about college, but unsure whether they can afford it, the 31-year-old mother of three offers this piece of advice:
"Just go for it."

Kenyan Coast,Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Park
Kenyan Coast
The perfect and ideal place for a beach holiday. It offers, some of the finest deep-sea fishing in the world. The history of the coastline goes back over a thousand years. The Kenya Indian Ocean coastline forms the Eastern border and stretches for some four hundred and eighty kilometres with palm fringed pearly white sandy beaches. Extending from North to South lies a spectacular coral barrier reef with wonders of under- water exploration in the blue lagoons and creeks. These attractions together with superb accommodation facilities make the Kenya Coast an incomparable holiday for both beach and nature lovers. It is possible to swim in the warm clear waters of the Indian Ocean all year round. The Kenya coast is divided into distinct resorts, namely:- Mombasa, North & South Coast, Malindi and Watamu, and Lamu each having its own unique characteristics and attractions.
Mombasa has a harmonious blending of the great cultures of Africa, Asia and Europe. The Old Town with its narrow streets with fascinating place of antiquity worth seeing. The 16th century Fort Jesus is a major attraction.
The North and South Coast are long stretches of idyllic beaches that are fringed with swaying palms, casuarinas, oleanders and frangipan. The Mtwapa creek with its abundant birdlife and Bamburi nature trail on the north are a must for nature lovers. Diani & Chale Marine National Park and Reserve, Kisite Marine National Park are places with a dazzling array of techni-coloured fish and coral gardens which are worth visiting.
Malindi & Watamu are renown for its beauty and diversity of marine life. Malindi's history dates back to the 12th century. Here time stands still and centuries of civilization have not altered the courtesy and charm of the people. The Gede ruins are a few kilometers from Malindi and are a fascinating glimpse of Islamic culture and village life. The ruins were mysteriously abandoned in the 17th century
Lamu takes one back through time to a way of life that has remained unchanged for the last six hundred years and here time seems to standstill. The Lamu archipelago is the Venice of Kenya as it is linked to the mainland and other smaller islands such as Manda and Kiwayu by waterways
Tsavo East National Park
One of Kenya's largest National Parks, covering approx. 40 per cent of the total area of all Kenya's National Parks. It's beautiful landscape and proximity to the coast makes it a popular safari destination. Bushy grassland and open plains alternate with savannah and semi-arid acacia scrub and woodlands.The Yatta plateau is the world's largest lava flow.
Game include: elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, crocodile, waterbuck, kudu, gerenuk and zebra. It is a home to some of the largest herds of elephants in Kenya. 500 bird species are recorded including ostrich and some migratory kestrels and buzzards.
Area: 11,750 square kilometers
By Road: 6 hours from Nairobi
By Air: Safari link .(Charter Flights on request)
Tsavo West National Park
This is where the notorious "Man Eaters of Tsavo", man-eating lions preyed on the railway linesman building the great Uganda railway in 1900. The park has important historic connections as a major battleground in World War I where British and German troops battled for supremacy.
This park offers tremendous views with diverse habitats ranging from mountains, river forest, plains, lakes and wooded grassland. Game include: cheetah, leopard, buffalo, rhino, elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, plains game, crocodile and small mammals including mongoose, hyrax, dik dik and the nocturnal porcupine. Mzima springs is a star attraction, a pool of natural spring water with underwater viewing hides for observing hippos.
Area: 9,075 square kilometers
Shimba Hills National Reserve
The Shimba Hills National Reserve is a small National Reserve in the Coast Province of Kenya, 33 km from Mombasa and 15 km from the coast. The reserve is an area of coastal rainforest, woodland and grassland. It is an important area for plant biodiversity – over 50% of the 159 rare plants in Kenya are found in the Shimba Hills, including some endangered species of cycad and orchids. It is also a nationally important site for birds and butterflies.
There are estimated to be approximately 700 elephants in the reserve. This population is unsustainably high – it causes significant damage to vegetation, threatening the endangered plant life. Conflict between humans and elephants has also reached critical levels. North of the Reserve, the Mwaluganje elephant sanctuary has been established to provide a route for elephants to leave the park. The remainder of the park boundary is fenced to prevent the elephants from invading farmland. Shimba Hills contains Kenya's only population of Sable Antelope. There are about 100 in the park.
Watamu Marine National Park
This is possibly the finest Marine National Park in Kenya. The coral gardens are merely 300 metres from the shore and are home to a vast number of fish (over 600 species) and other weird and wonderful sea-creatures. Water temperatures vary from 20-30 degrees celcius depending on the season, the coldest being June-October and the warmest being from December to May. It is easy to spend 4 or 5 hours marvelling at the wonders of the sea!!
Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary
This Sanctuary has an area of 36 km², and it, along with the adjacent Shimba Hills National Reseerve both form the Shimba Hills Ecosystem.
Mwaluganje is located in an ecosystem characterized by rolling hills, steep ridges, cliffs and winding water shades. A forested area of approximately 23,736 hectares.
The ecological attractions in Mwaluganje are diverse with scenic beauty such as the great natural forests, awe-inspiring cliffs and the warm blue Indian Ocean. Other natural attractions are "God's Bridge," "Time Rock" and the traditional shrine that characterizes the sacredness of the community.
The sanctuary was created in 1993 to conserve the serene surroundings, which house the rare and endangered African elephants, moist deciduous forest, riparian vegetation, and other special attractions available in the ecosystem.

Berlinde de Bruyckere
By Kathleen Madden
Kathleen Madden
Berlinde De Bruyckere works from the inside out, both physically and emotionally. She depicts flesh, luminous yet of a deathly hue. "Into One-Another To P.P.P.," the title of this recent exhibition of sculptures and works on paper, reflects the entwined nature of the works, while alluding to murdered Italian writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, a figure associated with unrequited love and erotic disquiet
The four related sculptural installations achieve a convulsive beauty. Three of them (all 2010) share the title of the exhibition and are laboriously cast in wax from the bodies of dancers. De Bruyckere first meticulously "blind paints" layers of epoxy mixed with pigment inside the molds, unable to see the effects of color until the "reveal," as the cast figures emerge. Each dancer's anatomy is convincingly captured yet distorted by the casting process. Toes are sometimes doubled, becoming like Rorschach binaries; bodily fragments must be pieced together. Left behind by the casting technique, multiple orifices—which De Bruyckere purposely retains—improbably penetrate the forms. The sculptures appear heavy, yet supple musculature makes them more vital than inert. The paint, mostly red, is not applied to show blood pulsing through the human forms; rather, it is mottled and abstract, as if smeared.
Early Netherlandish religious iconogra- phy is evoked. Born in Belgium in 1964, De Bruyckere lives and works in proximity to the Ghent Altarpiece, whose naked Adam and Eve were once replaced by clothed versions, because Van Eyck's exacting observation of nature was deemed inappropriate. But frank portrayal of the imperfect and fragile human form is basic to De Bruyckere's search for a redemptive rapture rooted in empathy and communion. Though the bodies are often dismembered, an overall coherency prevails, as each composition, whether involving one figure or two, feels whole.
Placed within antiquated wood-and- glass display cases, the figures are thus framed like paintings or film-strip images. On the interior base of the vitrines, De Bruyckere lays down old stained textiles, which are then further damaged and marked in the process of placing the figure. These accumulated layers of detail heighten the corporeal effect.
Inside Me II (2011) dispenses with the vitrine, the title of the other sculptures and the human form, taking instead tree branches as source. Cradled between two halves of a rickety wooden structure, the sagging, visceral-looking "branches" (actually rope, cloth, wax and epoxy) seem to have a mutual empathy—much as the figures in Into One-Another III To P.P.P. lack hands yet bodily caress each other. The tree limbs of Inside Me II are cushioned on a gathered cloth as if taken out of a tomb and released from a shroud to reveal new life.
Additionally, the show's two series of drawings also explore physical and spiritual transformation. The more disturbing of the two, "The Wound" (2011), comprises watercolor-and-pencil images suggesting torn, bloody flesh. Though the pictures are anatomically ambiguous, a sense of vitality remains. Indeed, De Bruyckere's works often seem almost animate, with energy contained within them, while they also provoke a morbid shudder, moving the viewer.

The rise of globalisation has not only resulted in an unprecedented increase in cross-border trade, but also in the parallel escalation of disputes in the international tax arena. Disputes usually arise where two different jurisdictions claim the right to tax the same transactions or income, imposing an excessive tax burden on taxpayers. The imposition of double taxation constitutes a significant barrier to the free flow of trade and investment. Where such double taxation disputes remain unresolved, confidence in the certainty, fairness and integrity of the international tax system is undermined.
Traditionally, bilateral tax treaties (of which Australia has entered into more than 40), known as double taxation agreements (DTAs), have attempted to eliminate double taxation, as well as prevent fiscal evasion. Most DTAs worldwide include a formal procedure to facilitate the resolution of disputes between treaty partners, known as the Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP). This procedure is set out in both Article 25 of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Model Tax Convention on Income and Capital (OECD Convention), and in Article 25 of the United Nations Model Double Taxation Convention between Developed and Developing Countries (UN Convention). The vast majority of all tax treaties are based on one of these two Conventions.
Under this procedure, treaty country representatives (known as competent authorities) are designated to assist resident taxpayers in resolving disputes between taxing jurisdictions. However, a major problem is that Article 25 does not compel the competent authorities to reach an agreement. Both the OECD Convention and the UN Convention only require these representatives to "endeavour" to resolve the dispute by mutual agreement. This lack of compulsion to resolve disputes has resulted in the unfortunate outcome of a stalemate occurring in certain cases, with companies in these circumstances suffering unrelieved double taxation.
the competent authorities are unable to reach an agreement to resolve that case …within two years from the presentation of the case to the competent authority of the other Contracting State, any unresolved issues arising from the case shall be submitted to arbitration if the person so requests.
This new arbitration clause ensured the actual resolution of a tax dispute even in situations where the competent authorities could not reach agreement. It also imposed time limits to ensure resolution would be achieved in a timely manner.
While the introduction of this clause constituted a significant change to the OECD Convention, and was acknowledged as advantageous for both taxpayers and tax administrations, the OECD emphasised that its inclusion in tax treaties was discretionary (the UN Convention also included the discretionary option of a mandatory arbitration clause in 2011). Although certain countries amended their tax treaties accordingly (for example, Australia included a new mandatory arbitration clause in its re-negotiated DTA with New Zealand in 2009), most countries opted not to introduce this dispute resolution mechanism that would ensure finality in tax disputes between treaty partners. By 2014, it was reported that only just over five per cent of all double tax treaties contained an arbitration clause.
In 2013, the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) 15-point Action Plan was devised to overhaul international tax rules, and address and overcome tax avoidance strategies undertaken to exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low tax jurisdictions where there is little or no economic activity. As part of this improvement of the international tax system, Action 14 involved the development of solutions to address obstacles that prevent countries from solving treaty-related disputes under the MAP, including the absence of arbitration provisions in most treaties. The inclusion of such a provision would optimise the international tax system by providing taxpayers with certainty that disputes regarding double taxation would be resolved.
To the dismay of the general business community (see for example the comments of Business Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) at page 41 of the OECD Comments Received on Public Discussion Draft BEPS Action 14: Make Dispute Resolution Mechanisms More Effective, 19 January 2015), the OECD removed mandatory arbitration from its agreed minimum standards in its final report on Action 14, issued in October 2015, on the grounds that there was a lack of endorsement for this dispute resolution mechanism among all countries associated with the OECD/G20 BEPS Project. The Indian government notoriously opposed the imposition of mandatory arbitration as a dispute resolution tool, in order to maintain its fiscal sovereignty. Indeed, as I have previously commented – the most contentious issue relating to the inclusion of mandatory binding arbitration under the MAP is the surrender of fiscal sovereignty that allegedly accompanies the resolution of disputes by arbitrators. This concept of fiscal sovereignty maintains there should never be any delegation or relinquishment of a country's power and authority to tax.
Despite the lack of consensus among OECD/G20 countries regarding mandatory binding arbitration, over half of the 34 OECD countries (including Australia) expressed interest in committing to this dispute resolution mechanism. It was therefore agreed that a mandatory binding MAP arbitration provision would be developed as part of the negotiation of a Multilateral Convention to allow countries to swiftly modify multiple bilateral DTAs by signing this single instrument.
Negotiations were concluded on the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent BEPS (the Multilateral Convention) in November 2016. The OECD announced that this Multilateral Convention would 'implement minimum standards to counter treaty abuse and to improve dispute resolution mechanisms while providing flexibility to accommodate specific tax treaty policies.' However, deferring to the desire of the majority of prospective signatories to preserve national sovereignty in relation to tax matters, binding mandatory arbitration was once again not included as a minimum standard in this Convention, but was instead made an optional provision.
It is noteworthy that only 25 of the 68 signatories to the Multilateral Convention have elected to adopt mandatory arbitration procedures. Australia is one of the minority of countries to include the arbitration provision, albeit with certain conditions (for example, disputes involving the application of general anti-avoidance provisions will be excluded from the scope of arbitration).
Pragmatic motivation for adopting binding mandatory arbitration?
The arbitration of international tax disputes presents significant advantages to both governments and taxpayers. It offers the certainty of the resolution of a tax controversy, even where competent authorities cannot agree, thereby offering a potential solution to double taxation. It would also likely remove the pressure on MAP caseloads, preventing the "tsunami" of international tax disputes referred to above. Countries currently resistant to mandatory binding arbitration in their tax treaties may need to balance their need to shield their tax controversies from independent arbitrators against their need to provide a favourable economic climate for foreign investment.
This is an abbreviated version of an article: M Markham 'International tax treaty arbitration – fighting an uphill battle in the global arena' (2017) 28 Australasian Dispute Resolution Journal 162-169, published by Thomson Reuters.

Another challenge to take up. Kat Myrman's Twittering Tales.
A twitter-length story based on the photo prompt.
As alien missiles whined through the night sky, the Trojan House rose on stilts and bore down on the sleeping town.
The Trojan House! 🙂 Marvelous!
Ooh, interesting take, what fun!
Remember what Odysseus sparked with his brilliant idea? I don't think I want to write a repeat of that!
When you get an idea in your head, it's damn near impossible to get rid of it. Houses on stilts ought to walk, right?
you mean, houses on stilts DON'T walk????
nooooooooooo….. please don't shatter my mind!
They do walk, but only when you're not looking at them.
LOL@mostly harmless …. well, it's that sudden shift in the temporal realm when other spaces and places slip sideways …. and quite rightly, it does give one great pause ….. for at the very least, concern ….. because are they portals? access keys to be investigated? or are there sinister goings on happening that should make on pick up one's skirts and run for the hills?
I'm not sure. Makes me think of Flann O'Brien's Third Policeman and the bicycles that are slowly turning into people—and vice versa.
it also has a certain amount of Vonnegut/Adams and Jasper Fforde -ism to all of it ….
Inviting in the same way as the gingerbread house?

Canada Suspends Aid To Iraqis, Kurds As Hostilities Escalate Between Them
Either side won't receive military training until they resolve their differences.
Lee Berthiaume Canadian Press
Ryan Remiorz/Canadian Press
Canadian special forces soldiers speaking with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in northern Iraq on Feb. 20, 2017.
OTTAWA — Canadian soldiers in Iraq have been ordered to temporarily suspend all operations with Iraqi and Kurdish forces following a series of battles between the two groups.
The surprise move comes amid accusations Canada and its allies have failed the country over the past three years by ignoring its many political, religious and economic divisions while fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Canadian special forces have provided training, advice and assistance to both the Iraqi military and Kurdish peshmerga for the past three years as part of the fight against Islamic State militants.

Iraqi security forces gather outside the Kurdish-held city of Altun Kupri in Iraq on Oct. 19, 2017.
But the one-time allies have been fighting each other for more than a week after the Kurds held a controversial independence referendum and Baghdad responded by seizing control of contested territory.
Military officials said Friday that the Canadian Forces would continue to support the U.S.-led coalition fighting against ISIL through the provision of medical aid, intelligence and transportation.
Canada has about 50 medical personnel and a tactical helicopter detachment in northern Iraq, as well as several dozen intelligence experts, a surveillance aircraft, a transport plane and an air-to-air refueller in Kuwait.
Special forces hold off training Iraqi, Kurds
But the approximately 200 Canadian special forces in Iraq have been told to sit tight and will not provide any training or assistance to Iraqi or Kurdish forces until relations between the two sides improve.
"Given the fluidity of the current situation, Canada's Special Operations Task Force has temporarily suspended the provision of assistance to various elements of Iraqi security forces," spokesman Col. Jay Janzen said.
"Once more clarity exists regarding the interrelationships of Iraqi security forces, and the key priorities and tasks going forward, the task force will resume activities.
"In the interim, they will continue to monitor the situation and plan for the next potential phases of operational activity."
Earlier: Iraqi Kurds offer 'talks and truce' to Iraqi government after disputed independence referendum
While Friday's decision to suspend operations with Kurdish and Iraqi forces was a surprise, the fact the two sides have come to blows has long been predicted by observers and experts.
In fact, a senior representative for Iraq's Kurdish government accused Canada and its allies this week of failing to address the many long-standing divisions that led to ISIL's birth — and which are threatening to erupt again.
Canada and its allies have been relatively quiet about what is happening, with Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan echoing U.S. statements urging all sides last week to focus on finishing the fight against ISIL.
To continue to say we're laser-focused on (ISIL) is missing the obvious truth of what is happening in Iraq.Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the Kurds' top diplomat in Washington
But Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the Kurds' top diplomat in Washington, said it's past time the international community end its "laser focus" on ISIL and begin to address Iraq's many underlying problems.
"'We are laser-focused on (ISIL).' That has been the mantra of the past few years," Abdul Rahman told The Canadian Press during a visit to Ottawa this week.
"But to continue to say we're laser-focused on (ISIL) is missing the obvious truth of what is happening in Iraq."
While many fear a war between Baghdad and the Kurds, there are also concerns about the slow rate of reconstruction in many Sunni-dominated areas liberated from ISIL, and Iran's growing influence in Baghdad.

The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Kayode Fayemi, on Monday disagreed with those accusing him of shunning the US-Nigerian investment summit, stating that he did not confirm attendance at any investment forum in Washington DC.
He spoke in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, following reports that the Emir of Kano, HRM Muhammad Sanusi, criticized some Ministers for their absence at an Investment forum organised by the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC.
The statement reads, "As a matter of fact, the Minister and a few of his colleagues, during the said period were attending some investment forum organized by the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) on the sidelines of the Commonwealth Head of Government meeting (CHOGM), in London, UK.
"There have been instances where names of Ministers and top government officials were announced as participants in some events without proper invitation and confirmation of attendance. This is certainly the case with the Washington event.
"So, to suggest that that Dr Fayemi was in Washington and chose not to attend the event could not have been an accurate account of what transpired. He was certainly nowhere near America and the organizers cannot say he confirmed to be at the event.

Автомобиль выпускался с 2001 по 2007 год в кузовах седан и хэтчбек. Помимо переднеприводной компоновки, была также полноприводная. В 2004 году автомобиль получил новый внешний вид, который всё больше напоминал японскую версию, а также получил новый дизельный двигатель объёмом 1400 см куб. HDi производства PSA Peugeot Citroën. В 2007 году на смену этой модели пришла новая Suzuki SX4. Производство автомобиля на заводах Пакистана и КНР продолжается и по сегодняшний день.

Так же была возможность купить машину с полным приводом, но только с акпп. Aerio имел две комплектации S или GS (2002–2004), S или SX (2005), Base или Premium (2006–2007). В 2004г модель обрела двигатель 2.3л 155 hp (116 kW), а в 2005 году произошёл внешний рестайлинг.

1. "When you run the marathon, you run against the distance, not against the other runners and not against the time."
2. "Most people who do a lot of exercise, particularly in the form of competitive athletics, have unneurotic, extraverted, optimistic personalities to begin with. (Marathon runners are exceptions to this.)"
Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!!
Since tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year I thought it would be nice and take a look back at this year. 2011 has been a wonderful year for Miss Lovie. I never dreamed I'd be having this much fun blogging. I've always loved creating, but this blog has pushed me to explore more areas of creating and has gotten me to make time for it more than I would have if I didn't have the blog. Thank you so much for coming back and reading and leaving wonderful comments. I don't always get the time to respond to all your comments, but please please know they mean so much to me.
I chose the these 10 projects based on stats and my favorites, really. :) Enjoy.
#10 The Ruffles and Hearts Table Runner. I also used this idea to make the Batty Table Runner at Halloween.
#9 the Interchangeable Lucky Flowers and Bunting Wreath. I used this idea to make the UK wreath also.
Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve!! See you in 2012!!
Ugly Sweaters and A Merry Christmas!
In honor of Christmas I thought I'd share with you my love for ugly/tacky Christmas sweaters and attire. I present to you this year's sweater and outfit.
Wow, right? The cool part? Mr. Lovie picked out the whole outfit from our local Goodwill the day before knowing I could craft it into a great ensemble. The right sizes and everything. How good is he?!
I may have woven that red plaid ribbon in throughout the holes from the knitting in the sweater and tied the bows in the front. And I may have done it in the car on the way to our party. What? haha.
And of course I made the bow on my headband and my shoes.
My speedy bow tutorial will come soon. I made all three bows in less than 15 minutes. Speedy, huh?
Of course Nixon Girl had to come. In a sweater. And her very own bow.
The ugly/tacky Christmas sweater party started several years ago when my wonderful friends and I somehow managed to all live in the same apartment complex the year after we graduated. (Seriously, at one time there were 14 of us living in the same complex. It was so fun.) The picture above is most of us. Love this picture. It was clear that the tradition just had to continue. Even though we all live all over the place now, we still try to make it happen.
And here's the skirt! Bonus! It's really cute! It's a wool skirt so it's nice and warm and it's a beautiful shade of bright red! Merry Christmas to me!
And it has pockets!! Woo hoo!! I just love great thrift store finds!
I hope you are having a great Christmas and enjoying this time with your families. I won't be posting this next week most likely as I am with my family and friends back in Lexington, Kentucky. I'll see you for sure after the new year! Merry Christmas!!

Need a super last minut gift check out my Pretty Packaged Christmas Candy!
Anyone else scrambling to get it all done?
I thought these fun and pretty packaged Christmas Candies might help some of you... I made them this morning. They are seriously an easy and fast last minute gift. I saw the packaging idea here via Pinterest. It's just a little piece of scrapbook paper folded over a ziplock bag, stapled on either side and embellished with bows. Quick and easy. And the best part is, if you're like me and hoard craft supplies out the wazoo, you already have all that stuff.
I made the first batch of these for coworkers and actually put them in some sweet holiday tins I found at JoAnn's for 60% off.
I thought I'd go ahead and make a couple more batches and fix them up nice for those unexpected gifts you always need. You know those kinds of people...a neighbor that pops over unexpectedly with something yummy for you and your family, a coworker who you didn't realize you were that close to gives you a little something, etc. You can make up several of these and hold on to them for the unexpected gift giving. And if you don't end up needing them, attach them to a gift you're already giving or eat them yourself! Believe me, you'll want to!
I've just made 3 or 4 of these sweet ruffly scarves. These are not the kind that keep you super warm, but will look oh so cute and stylish.
I'm hoping to add some fabric flower pins to them, too, using the flowers I made here, here, and here, maybe.
And I'm hoping to squeeze in time to make another couple of these (I already made one for Mr. Lovie-and he is already using it!).
And hopefully this sweet casserole carrier. Wish me luck!!
