Q: How to extract the first part of URL out using pig I have many long strings and part of the string contains url. I want to extract the first part of the url after https? before abcd.com out. Some url use http some use https; For example:
long string --------&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.abcd.com%2f------long string
long string --------&url=https%3a%2f%2fmobile.abcd.com%2f------long string
long string --------&url=http%3a%2f%2fmobile.abcd.com%2f------long string
long string --------&url=https%3a%2f%2faccount.abcd.com%2f------long string
long string --------&url=http%3a%2f%2fsale.abcd.com%2f------long string
long string --------&url=https%3a%2f%2flogin.abcd.com%2f------long string

The result will be www, mobile, mobile, account, sale, login.
What I've tried so far is
A = LOAD DATA;
B = FOREACH A GENERATE (chararray)REGEX_EXTRACT(line, '.*&url=https?%3a%2f%2f([^\.]+)\.', 1) AS firstparturl;
DUMP B;

It's giving me an error complaining about the last period in the regex_extract ''.

A: (?<=https?%3a%2f%2f)\w+(?=\.\w+\.\w+)
Uses positive lookbehind to ensure it starts with
http://
then grabs whatever is there, checking with a lookahead that it must end in
.<word>.<word>
Because it's using lookahead/behind, those groups aren't captured, and the  default capture group is the answer you seek.

A: Try this:
B = FOREACH A GENERATE (chararray)REGEX_EXTRACT(line, '.*&url=https?%3a%2f%2f([^.]+)\\.', 1) AS firstparturl;

Ana Aurora do Amaral Lisboa (Rio Pardo, 24 de setembro de 1860 — Rio Pardo, 22 de março de 1951) foi uma professora, poetisa, ativista política, escritora brasileira.

Biografia
Filha de Joaquim Pedro da Silva Lisboa e de Maria Carlota do Amaral, estudou por dois anos na Escola Normal de Porto Alegre, formando-se em 1883, com nota máxima em todas as matérias. Foi contratada como professora do estado, mais tarde, devido a Revolução Federalista é transferida para Júlio de Castilhos, porém revoltada escreve violenta carta ao presidente da província protestando. A partir daí passa a ser perseguida, junto com seus irmãos, inclusive no jornal A Federação, nunca mais voltando ao magistério público.

Foi considerada a precursora do ensino supletivo para adultos, fundadora, juntamente com suas irmãs Zamira e Carlota, do Colégio Amaral Lisboa.

Deixou o magistério em avançada idade, junto com sua irmã Zamira, praticamente cega e passou a viver de caridade. Em 1937 o governo estadual lhes concedeu uma pensão vitalícia, que lhes permitiu sobreviver. Em 1944 foram homenageadas por um grupo de ex-alunos, tanto castilhistas como maragatos, com uma herma em praça pública.

Industry Roundtable
RHS joins group fight against plant diseases
We've joined a UK-wide consortium preparing for the possible introduction and spread of a major plant disease threatening into the UK
A consortium of ten leading UK research organisations, co-ordinated by the John Innes Centre, will work to enhance UK surveillance and response to Xylella fastidiosa - a bacterium known to cause disease in a wide range of plants.
The Xylella fastidiosa research makes up the first phase of a programme of investment into major bacterial plant diseases supported by the UK Research and Innovation's Strategic Priorities Fund.
More than £17.7m funds the entire major bacterial plant diseases research programme with £4.85m of this aiming to improve methods of diagnosis and detection of Xylella.
Our participation continues our work improving plant health in UK gardens and managing Xylella risk.
RHS Senior Plant Pathologist, Dr Rebekah Robinson says: 'Xylella fastidiosa is a devastating disease and research programmes such as BRIGIT are crucial to minimise the impact should it arrive in the UK. Our role within the consortium will be to develop resources regarding the botany of high risk hosts, and to support engagement and knowledge exchange with the general public, end users (inspectors, trade bodies etc.) and other stakeholders.'
The group aims to improve methods of diagnosis and detection of Xylella, to identify factors that could lead to its spread, and make preparations to minimise its impact should it be introduced.
A key focus will be introducing and improving best practice in the horticultural trade, to mitigate the impact of any introduction.
More on consortium can be found on the John Innes Centre website

Cat Osterman Embraces Renewed Perspective With USA Softball
(Photo courtesy of USA Softball)
By Kayla Lombardo
The last time Cat Osterman took the mound at a USA Softball training camp, the state of the senior national team's Olympic future looked bleak. It was 2010, and softball was out of the Summer Games for the foreseeable future, leaving Osterman's hope for Olympic redemption uncertain.
Now, almost a decade later, the 36-year-old Osterman is back with Team USA after a nine-year hiatus, and her sights are firmly set on returning the United States to gold-medal glory at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The last time Osterman and the sport of softball appeared in the Olympics, Japan upset the then–defending Olympic champion Americans to claim the gold medal in 2008 at the Beijing Games.
"There's a little bit of unfinished business," Osterman told Softball America in a phone interview. "There was a finality of the feeling in '08. We want to hopefully go over there and bring back the gold for Team USA."
The road to Tokyo began this week for Team USA, as the squad opened up its 2019 season with training camp in Des Plaines, Ill., which is set to conclude this weekend with exhibition games against two National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) opponents, Osterman's former team, the USSSA Pride, and the Chicago Bandits. The national team will then begin a slate that features six events throughout the summer, including the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru.
Absolutely estatics to wear these 3 letters again and go to battle with a new group of teammates! Honored, blessed and looking forward to every moment on this journey. ❤🇺🇸 https://t.co/N0D6fngfNw
— Cat Osterman (@catosterman) January 17, 2019
"The philosophy of [USA Softball] has remained the same since 2002 when [Osterman] first came into the program at the national-team level," Team USA head coach Ken Eriksen told Softball America over the phone. "She has picked up right where she left off."
Despite it being a similar training process and philosophy for USA Softball ahead of an Olympic year, things are different this time around for Osterman, a two-time Olympic medalist.
"It's different this time," said Osterman, who had been retired from competitive softball since 2015 before she returned to Team USA earlier this year. "As much as I know the names of my teammates, it's not the same group I played with before. I'm the newbie, but not the newbie at the same time. It's fun to get to know my new teammates and just kind of start over and hit the ground running."
Also different for Osterman in 2019 is her perspective on the sport she's been entrenched in for three decades. As the stepmother of a seven-year-old girl named Bracken Ashley, Osterman now trains with a renewed outlook and sense of motivation.
"My perspective on the game has changed," said Osterman, who is also the associate head softball coach at Texas State University. "I have a stepdaughter now and it's fun to have her watch me training. I want to show her what it means to work hard and have success. It's eye-opening when you have a child in your life who you are able to have an influence on."
The southpaw's overall mentality in the pitcher's circle has also been altered from how it once was.
"This biggest thing I feel coming in this time is that I'm not nearly as stressed about the outcome of things," Osterman added. "I know the game and I know the process."
And part of that process for Osterman will be her ability to use her experience and renewed perspective to her team's advantage going forward. As one of five pitchers named to the 2019 senior national team, which includes her 2008 Olympic teammate Monica Abbott, Osterman is viewed by her coaching staff as a vital part of USA Softball's formula for success.
"I don't think we've had as deep a pitching staff for a while as we do right now," Eriksen added. "99% of our success will be how our pitching staff is going to react and bounce back. To have someone of [Osterman's] experience on our team, it definitely makes me sleep a lot better at night."

The Boys Bowling team was defeated 2057-2089. Russell Orris led the Vikings with a 398 series. Ethan Walton led the Bulldogs with a 377 series.
The Junior Varsity teams were also competing on Friday. The boys bowling team was defeated by Heath, while the girls bowling team defeated Heath by 20 pins.
Heath is a great program. They are always competing to be a state qualifier, and always prove to be a tough competition. Coach Vicki White and her staff run a tremendous program, and we have the utmost respect for Heath. We are incredibly proud of how our young men and women played this evening. They played hard all the way, made adjustments, and kept a positive attitude throughout the match. This has been a long week, and with 6 straight competitions, we knew that it would be demanding. But our student-athletes have been resilient, and have persevered all week. We also want to recognize our JV Teams. They have not played in each match all week. Sometimes sitting and watching is tough. But they have been great all week, and played great tonight. It was a total team effort by everyone in the program.

COVID-19: Bolton couple reunited after 12 months apart due to pandemic
The couple, married for 60 years, have been separated since last February due to visiting restrictions at his care home.
Saturday 6 February 2021 16:47, UK
Stanley and Mavis Harbour were last together in February 2020
A couple in their 80s who have been married for 60 years have had an emotional reunion after being kept apart for almost a year by the coronavirus pandemic.
Stanley and Mavis Harbour, from Bolton, last spent time together on 20 February 2020.
Since then, Mavis, 81, and 83-year-old Stanley, have been kept apart by COVID-19 related visiting restrictions at his care home.

He had moved to the Lever Edge Care Home in September 2019 because of a deterioration in his dementia, the Manchester Evening News said.
The pair, who have been inseparable since falling in love at first sight in the late 1950s, were reunited at the home after Mavis joined her husband there because of her own health issues.
After she completed a 14-day isolation period, staff at the home filmed the couple's emotional reunion, saying it left "not a dry eye in the room".

As the octogenarians sipped prosecco, Stanley, who gave his wife a bouquet of flowers, said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw Mavis. It was like a dream."
Mavis added: "I was very pleased to see Stanley. I've missed him so much that I got overwhelmed and just cried.
"I'm so happy. I never want to be away from him again. I feel lost without him."
They kissed and hugged before being treated to a romantic candle-lit meal in the care home's bar, featuring three courses, flutes of sparkling wine and a box of chocolates.
The couple have two sons, Peter and Neil, as well as three grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
So, how have they stayed married for so long? Mavis puts their success down to plenty of give and take.

"There wasn't a dry eye in the room when she was finally able to see her beloved Stanley again."

Main en-GB Articles on Central Asia Article IWPR's Nursultan Nazarbayev's Safety Cushions
Nursultan Nazarbayev's Safety Cushions
Here we describe the most important posts that the ex-president of Kazakhstan continues to hold and what authorities they give.
By Khadisha Akaeva and Andrei Grishin
During the oath taking ceremony of interim president Tokayev, Nazarbayev was awarded the title of 'Khalyk kakharmany' and special insignia "Gold Star". Photo: akorda.kz
Since March 20, Nursultan Nazarbayev is no longer the president of Kazakhstan. Now Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev holds this post until the election of the new head of state in 2020. Nevertheless, Nazarbayev is in fact ruling the country through a range of other mechanisms.
First president – Yelbassy
Chair of the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Head of Samruk-Kazyna fund
Chair of the Nur Otan party
Member of the Constitutional Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Law 'On the First President of Republic of Kazakhstan –Yelbassy'
This law provides Nazarbayev with a package of guarantees and rights, including: absolute immunity for deeds done during his presidency and afterwards; immunity of all available assets and his family members; state protection, residential and non-residential premises for his activities; use of almost all state services (communication, transportation, healthcare, medical treatment, etc.). For more details, please follow the link.
Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan
The Security Council has long existed in Kazakhstan; however, the law 'On the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan" was adopted only in 2018. Until 2018, the Security Council was a constitutional advisory body, and now it has become the constitutional body. The law was then amended to enlarge the powers of the Council and to secure life-long chairmanship of the first president.
The Security Council coordinates both foreign and domestic policy of Kazakhstan regarding national security. Decisions made by the Security Council (its chair, to be more exact) are mandatory for implementation by the incumbent president, who can be only an ordinary member of this agency for as long as the Yelbassy lives. Moreover, the Security Council discusses candidatures proposed for the posts of chief executives of the General Prosecutor Office, National Security Committee, ministries of foreign affairs, defence, interior affairs, justice, Foreign Intelligence Service Syrbar, financial monitoring committee of the ministry of finance. Moreover, the members of the Security Council shall be appointed by the president as agreed with the chair of the Security Council.
It's noteworthy that Kalmukhanbet Kassymov, ex-minister of interior affairs, has got an appointment, which sounds as "Assistant to the President – Secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan."
Samruk Kazyna Fund
It's a large Kazakhstan-based business structure, whose only shareholder is the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The fund invests into numerous strategically important entities; it has portfolios in Air Astana, Kazatomprom, KazMunaiGaz, Kazpochta, Kazakhtelecom, and other companies.
According to the law 'On Samruk Kazyna national welfare fund's management board' dated 2010, the Board is headed by Nursultan Nazarbayev. This fund is the most significant component of the economy of Kazakhstan. Thus, by results of2018, a share of Samruk Kazyna Fund and a group of portfolio companies in the Kazakh economy was 4 trillion tenges (10.5 billion dollars), which is nearly 7 per cent. The share of the fund in the economy boggles the mind to the point that the largest business structures amount to 2-3 per cent in the national economy, and this share can be as high as 7 per cent only in oil monarchies.
Nur Otan party
The status of the chair of the Nur Otan party is the permanent status of the resigned president Nazarbayev. The party is dominant in the parliament of Kazakhstan and enforces the interests of its chair, as well.
Constitutional Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan
A membership in this body means that the 'Leader of the Nation' is fully legitimate to take part in the approval of laws, control the elections of president, parliament members, and hold republican referendums.
These posts, but the post in Samruk Kazyna Fund, are set in law 'On the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Yelbassy', which means that other presidents will remain nominal figures as long as Nazarbayev lives.
"The initiatives developed regarding the key directions of domestic and foreign policy of the state shall be coordinated with the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Yelbasy," according to paragraph 1 of the law.
It should be noted that Nazarbayev, his family and inner circle currently have either direct or indirect ownership of the companies, which affect the entire economy of Kazakhstan, so these four posts are not the last in this political situation.
To eliminate any slightest surprise at the next presidential election, amendments were made to the law 'On elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan' on June 15, 2017. The new amendment was the requirement for a presidential candidate to have at least five years of experience in civil service.
Nursultan Nazarbayev has done everything to retire securely yet staying the key political figure, who may, as before, decide the fate of Kazakhstan at his sole discretion.

Neeson's new movie Cold Pursuit was due to be promoted in New York this week, but the premiere was axed just hours before it was due to go ahead.
The actor, 65, has been facing backlash from around the world for saying that he wanted to kill a 'black b*****d' at one time in his life.
Earlier this week Neeson said that one of his close friends had been raped by a black man and he wanted to get revenge.
In the days after the attack he said that he was incredibly angry and hoped that 'some "black b*****d" would come out of a pub and have a go at me' because he was carrying a weapon he could use to 'kill him'.
He said that his anger was 'primal' and after a week of feeling that way he snapped out of it.
In a later interview he said that he wasn't racist, explaining: 'I was trying to show honour, to stand up for my dear friend, in this terrible medieval fashion.
'And I'm a fairly intelligent guy, so that's why it shocked me when I came back down to Earth after having these horrible feelings.
People appeared to be divided by his comments, with former England international footballer John Barnes explaining that he believes Neeson deserves 'a medal'.
Piers Morgan on the other hand thinks that Neeson's comments could be the beginning of the end of his acting career.

It details the practical experiences from implementation of the workshop. Its purpose is to provide public health practitioners with a detailed description of the steps involved in planning and implementing the workshop and to provide them with description of past experiences from its implementation. The document aims to support public health practitioners who plan on implementing smokers' section elsewhere. The workshop documented here was developed and implemented by exposé Smoke-Free Youth Program, Ottawa Public Health in 2007/09.


In a recent interview on a radio programme I was asked what is different in today's youth culture to the 1980's when Youth Fellowship began. Besides the obvious advent of the internet, mobile phones, Facebook and countless study and career opportunities, there has been a discernible negative shift in moral values and an ever increasing non-christian worldly outlook to life.
More than before, what many people believe in and what they judge to be good or evil is rooted in what they feel. Not only does contemporary society encourage us to live in this feeling-over-thinking worldview but our innate emotional bias is exploited. We may call this 'sentimentalism' which over emphasises our ability to determine subjectively how we should live, based on how well our actions fit with our feelings. Very probably, this what led Adam and Eve to eat that blessed forbidden fruit in the first place!
The result of all this is relativism, where the Judaeo-Christian absolute moral truths are rejected and considered outdated and repressive – even by some who profess to be Christians. What is right or wrong, true or false is what I feel it to be or what the majority feel about it. You can apply this to almost every contentious moral debate.
The only way out of this quagmire for today's youth lies in seeking the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of Jesus Christ with unrelenting fervour. In fact many young people all over the world, recognising the inner bankruptcy that a hedonistic and materialistic superficial lifestyle and relativistic philosophy has left them with, are returning to the Catholic faith.
As we discover and experience Jesus' love and mercy and submit our lives to the One whose truth sets us free, our thirst is satiated. Cultivating a genuine interiority is the only way of authentic Christian discipleship. Self-knowledge in the light of God's truth revealed in His word and the Church is vital. Then as we live by in His grace, we will begin to give our feelings their proper place, recognising them to good servants but untrustworthy masters.


'Useless' is such a versatile phrase that it suits into virtually each context of disapproval without which means what it method. My grandpa used to call us, youngsters, pointless when we plucked mangoes from the backyard sooner than they'd grown enough. Girls name their guys pointless once they don't turn up on time for a date. Now, M K Stalin has called the 2019-2020 Tamil Nadu Budget pointless.
For those waiting to criticize the federal government, the Budget used to be indeed pointless. It didn't suggest new taxes for the opposition to attack the federal government. Neither did it have new coffer-crunching sops for the media to bemoan populism. It used to be a boringly useful Budget that sought to stay the fiscal deficit (difference between total earnings and total expenditure) at 2.56% of the GSDP. It used to be also daring.
So, what emboldened the Edappadi K Palaniswami executive not to appease the electorate in an election yr? Insiders say the AIADMK has reconciled to the truth that it would possibly not win many seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. But it believes it will possibly win a couple of seats when 20 Assembly constituencies have byelection (most probably in conjunction with the overall elections) so the federal government survives its term. Hence, a non-populist Budget is something the federal government can spend money on, possibly over again, sooner than the 2021 Assembly polls, goes the theory.
A Budget that draws a clear line between welfare measures and freebies is sensible in a state that continues to live beyond its method. The fresh Global Investors Meet has promised ₹three lakh crore worth investments in the state and the tax earnings is taking a look up, but going through the history of the state falling wanting earnings expectancies and overshooting expenses, the federal government will have to match its optimism with decisive action.
As for the Lok Sabha elections, the AIADMK has reasons to be low on hope. It has no choice but to ally with the BJP, and it'll be lucky to contest 25 seats if the PMK, the DMDK and a couple of groups join the entrance.
EPS and OPS can not ignore that T T V Dhinakaran rode to victory at RK Nagar on his strident complaint of the BJP as also his marketing campaign that the AIADMK has been lowered to the saffron celebration's stooge. The BJP's presence is helping the alliance in but a couple of constituencies like Kanyakumari, Coimbatore and South Chennai, but most likely the BJP will call for those seats. Yet the AIADMK should sail with the BJP, as rubbing Amit Shah and Narendra Modi the mistaken approach may just go away many AIADMK leaders in the soup. It could also be the first time a celebration is being browbeaten into an electoral alliance.
While the AIADMK seems to be resigned to its fate in the Lok Sabha elections, it has to win a minimum of 9 of the 20 byelection seats to make sure longevity of the EPS executive. The ruling celebration on paper now shows a power of 115, but in the event of a confidence movement, 3 (who've known themselves with TTV) may just vote against the federal government and 3 others (independents who contested at the AIADMK image) may just go either approach.
That's the place the sop-less Budget becomes extra of a chance than a gambit. One of the highest expectancies throughout the runup to the Budget used to be incentives for farmers, if no longer a mortgage waiver. That used to be to not be.
Already in the grip of their seasonal love for villages, the opposition will attempt to exploit farmers' sentiments. And in the event that they succeed, EPS-OPS will in finding the Budget actually pointless.

Charlie Heffley
(Redirected from Uncle Charlie)
"Whattya say, Blue?"
—Charlie says to Greg after he gets new blue Pajamas, having previously owned a red pair of pajamas
Charlie (known as Freddie in the online version) is Greg Heffley and his brothers' uncle and a recurring character in the series. According to Greg he is his "secret weapon" at Christmas as he gets Greg anything he wants. He is more frequently mentioned as "Uncle Charlie".
3 Other Roles
3.1 Role in the Online Book
Greg describes he gives his nephews anything they want for Christmas, but sometimes ends up with the wrong gift. When Greg was seven, Greg wanted a Barbie Dream House so he could use it as a fort for his toy soldiers. He asked his parents for one and Susan thought it was a good idea, but Frank didn't like that idea as he thought it was too inappropriate for boys. Susan and Frank started fighting, but Frank won. Greg knew he had no chance to get it but ask Charlie, so he asked him to give it. But, Charlie, instead of giving him the Dream House, he went straight to the store and got the first thing that said 'Barbie' on it, which was a Beach Fun Barbie. Greg still played with the doll sometimes, but ended up in the hospital after the doll's shoe somehow got inside his nose. In the first book Greg asked him for Twisted Wizard but he gave him a photo of him which was about the same size as Twisted Wizard's game box. In The Last Straw, he gave Greg a thing called Laundry Hoop which was a Laundry Bag in the shape of hoop. Greg told him he doesn't do his own laundry and don't need it and said that he should give Greg cash instead. Susan thought it was a great idea for Greg to do his laundry in a 'fun' way. This made Greg get a new chore to do his laundry. Greg mentions that he has a lot of cash and spends most of his day sitting on his recliner. When Greg was little, he gave Greg a nickname "Red" and used to call it all the times, this was because Greg used to have red pajamas, though, soon Greg starting getting serious about it and told his mom how he felt. Susan bought Greg a pair of blue pajamas and Greg went to Charlie looking at him in a way that he has lost, but Charlie started calling him "Blue".

McDaniel: Tua suffered concussion in loss to Packers
By ALANIS THAMESDecember 28, 2022 GMT
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sustained his second concussion of the season in last week's loss to Green Bay, Miami coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Wednesday.
Tagovailoa has not been officially ruled out for Sunday's pivotal game at New England, though it's unknown when the Dolphins will see him on the field again.
AP source: NFL, NFLPA reviewing Tagovailoa's quick return
By TIM REYNOLDSSeptember 26, 2022 GMT
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa hit his head. Turns out, his back was the bigger issue.
Either way, he was cleared to return and played through it all.
Tagovailoa briefly left Sunday's 21-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills, returning despite appearing to be disoriented by what the team originally said was a head injury.


Atos, CGI, Cognizant, Elisa Appelsiini, Enfo, Fujitsu, HCL, L&T Infotech, Sonera, Tech Mahindra, Tieto and Wipro have joined Sofigate's Service Integration and Management ecosystem that enables companies to achieve maximum value from their outsourced IT services provided by multiple suppliers.
The complexity of IT continues to grow in companies as business demands better IT services faster and at a lower cost than before. There is a direct link between the quality of IT services and business efficiency, since more and more business processes are supported by IT services.
At the same time challenges arise: How to seamlessly integrate internal services and external services provided by various suppliers to meet business requirements? Managing multiple partners is time-consuming and ties down companies' own service managers to solving everyday problems. Some of the potential benefits get eaten away by the challenges.
SIAM, Service Integration and Management is an approach to managing multi-sourced service delivery environments and the demand for it is on the rise. In the Nordic market, however, there has been a lack of realistic SIAM solutions – this will now be addressed by Sofigate and its SIAM ecosystem partners.
Last March Sofigate launched its open source Service Integration and Management model that enables managing service integration efficiently through standardized processes and tools. The model has been developed in cooperation with large Nordic, globally operating companies and organizations, based on their best practices.
To achieve maximum value from multi-supplier ecosystem, cooperation with external IT service providers is important. In order to reach this goal, Sofigate has started to sign cooperation agreements with world's leading IT services providers as well as the most significant ones on the Nordic market. The contracts guarantee that services and the Service Integration and Management framework are compatible.
The first ones to join the ecosystem were CGI, Enfo, Fujitsu, HCL and Sonera. Since March, also Atos, Cognizant, Elisa Appelsiini, L&T Infotech, Tech Mahindra, Tieto and Wipro have signed their cooperation agreements. The negotiations to include more service providers continue.
"As the most important IT service providers join Sofigate's SIAM ecosystem, the message to the market is clear: together, we are ready to engage ourselves in IT service excellence. SIAM models are like a common language that makes cooperation easier for everyone. With the help of our SIAM offering, companies save in IT costs and can provide end-users with better services. Their own organization can shift focus to service development to meet the needs of their business," says Marko Näppäri, Sofigate's Business Executive.
Background: In a multi-supplier environment, each service provider has its own contract as well as its own service level agreement. One service area can be the responsibility of several service providers. Typically IT companies can monitor only their own services.
Challenges to companies: How to manage a multi-supplier environment efficiently if all the service providers have their own processes? How to estimate service quality from the end-users' point of view? How to get the best advantages from the services instead of using a lot of time putting out small fires?
Solution: Service Integration and Management refers to models and processes that help to integrate and lead the totality of a company's IT services that are provided by various partners. It is a framework based on ITIL and it enables companies to take control of a multi-supplier environment efficiently & flexibly.
Sofigate has created an open-source SIAM framework that is based on IT managements' best practices.
Sofigate has productized an in-a-box Service Management Office (SMO) as a Service offering that includes SIAM models, experts and tools. Companies get uniform services, the best possible use of their IT service providers, and cost savings as unnecessary service integration work is reduced.
SMO as a Service includes ready-made concepts and operation models for service deployment and service production as well as for the deployment of customer's own SIAM compatible ITSM tool.
The service is completed by cooperation agreements with significant IT service providers. These contracts guarantee that services and the framework are compatible.

A Hard Day's Death, Review
Filed under: Raymond Benson,Reviews on Aug 13, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I have a pretty long list of books to read and one that I've had near the top for awhile is A Hard Day's Death by Raymond Benson. It's got a pretty good premise about a private investigator who specifically takes on cases in the world of rock n' roll. It's actually a pretty brilliant idea, it just requires an author who's got a love and knowledge of the business. Benson surely is that. His love of music, specifically (roughly) late 60's and 70s rock (i.e., classic rock), clearly shows on just about every page. The table of contents reads like an album's track list and each chapter is titled after a song (e.g., A Hard Day's Night – performed by The Beatles). Throw in a guy best known for thriller books like James Bond, Splinter Cell, and Metal Gear Solid, and you got the ingredients for an entertaining hit.
The story involves an old classic rocker by the name of Flame. This guy is pretty huge in the world of rock n' roll, once jamming with the likes of John Lennon and David Bowie and having two successful bands of his own as well as a solo career before going into rehab and coming out a reformed man. Now Flame is doing religious music and everyone isn't too happy which ultimately leads to his demise. So it goes. The problem is practically everyone in the book is a suspect from former bandmates, to family, to producers to a rock n' roll gang, to even a religious cult that operates out of Jamaica. They all have motive and many, given Flame was kind of an ass, didn't even give a damn that the guy died. This leads to the introduction of the protagonist, Spike Berenger. He's 50, he's been in the world of rock n' roll as both a musician and a producer, and he's even dated Flame's first wife, but now he's a private investigator in New York City where the story mostly takes place. He's got his own security firm filled with a number of other investigators with specific specialties and it's really up to them to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and solve the case.
A Hard Day's Death is a damn good read and a real page turner. I quite enjoyed it, though I must say that while I was really into it, the ending wasn't as great as I would have liked. The problem is Spike being an actual private investigator for about 80% of the book then the final 20% becoming something more, something like a watered-down James Bond. I hate to say it. The book just didn't feel like an action book at all, but that's where it eventually went. Nothing too wrong with that, I guess. All in all though, A Hard Day's Death is a thrilling and unique read. I could say that those that dig music a lot will really take to it, and that's probably true, but I don't really consider myself one of those – not like Benson, and I enjoyed it. So there you go.

Home / foreign policy / Progressives and Trade
Progressives and Trade
By Dan Nexon
In foreign policy , Trade Policy
While many issues divide the progressive coalition—which I understand as an umbrella term for the center-left, left-liberals, democratic socialists, and various social-justice movements—international security and international political economy provide some of the most intractable disputes. Disagreements about health policy, for example, primarily revolves around the wisdom of incrementalism and the specific mix of policies best positioned to produce universal health care. But, at least on face, there are very serious divides about, for example, US involvement in global affairs, the use of force, and open trade. My view is that many of these divides are exacerbated and used as wedge issues by what I call the "paleoleft," and that it should be possible to work out compromises on many of them. But I know that view is controversial.
When I write about these issues, I usually focus on international security or broad propositions about international order. These are my areas of academic expertise. Moreover, the nexus of domestic labor, foreign labor, and trade is usually Erik's beat at LGM. Nonetheless, even before recent developments, it's been obvious that progressives need to think much harder about international political economy in general, and trade in particular, than, say, engaging in knee-jerk support of protectionist measures. Many of the most pressing economic concerns for progressives—domestic inequality, the financialization of American political economy, corruption, and reducing carbon emissions—are transnational in character.
Given this, I found Jennifer Harris' piece at Democracy interesting, and worth a look. Readers might also consider Sean Ehrlich's new book, The Politics of Fair Trade: Moving Beyond Free Trade and Protection, which is on my list.
Overall, though, I find the focus on trade, as well as the institutions of trade governance, as a bête noire somewhat misguided. For one thing, given the transnational character of our challenges, we absolutely need solutions that use the machinery of global economic governance. No matter how much progressives want to reform or overhaul these institutions, we must recognize (as commentator Yestobesure notes) that the goal of the Trump administration is to tear them down.
Officials have indicated they see little chance that Trump will continue exempting EU companies from the duties of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum. "Our task is to find a collective response," Macron said, adding that "only a reformed WTO can give us this framework."
Meanwhile, the WTO is being slowly strangled to death, a retiring trade judge whose replacement has been blocked by the United States, said in his farewell speech, delivering a thinly-veiled rebuke to the Donald Trump administration.
Ricardo Ramírez-Hernández served two terms as a judge on the WTO's Appellate Body, which acts as the final court for trade disputes between countries. Since his departure last year, the United States has been blocking the process to replace him and other judges, throwing the WTO into crisis.
"This institution does not deserve to die through asphyxiation," Ramírez-Hernández said. "You have an obligation to decide whether you want to kill it or keep it alive."
In a speech introducing Ramirez-Hernandez, WTO Deputy Director-General Karl Brauner said there was "no movement in sight" to unblocking appointments.
"This is frightening," he said, adding that it was an illusion to believe the WTO could manage without its appeals judges. It remained to be seen if the WTO was an achievement of civilization or only a temporary experiment, he added.
The alternative sought by the Trump administration—bilateral deals focused on transactional goals, regional arrangements with sunset clauses, and the like—will ultimately prove incompatible with broader progressive goals. They also raise the specter—as we have seen with Trump's ham-fisted handling of the Trans-Pacific Partnership—of the US being locked out of important segments of international trade. When and if the US seeks to gain access to these arrangements, it risks finding itself with significantly reduced bargaining leverage. The nightmare scenario: Washington becomes reliant, by necessity, on using Trump-style "protection racket" threats to compensate for that reduced economic bargaining power, and that at some point our allies decide the game isn't worth the candle.
So, should progressive resent being pushed into defending trading arrangements that they blame for increasing inequality? I don't think so. And not just for the reasons that I've already discussed.
It may seem odd, given my insistence on the need for internationally-oriented progressivism, but my sense is that the problem really isn't open trade, per se. Rather, it is the coupling of open trade with, for instance, the rollback of social insurance, inadequate investment in human capital and economic infrastructure, tax policy, and an unwillingness to really confront the downsides of capital mobility and offshoring. These policies ensured that the gains from trade have gone disproportionately to the wealthy, that losers were inadequately compensated, and that the US is much less able to exploit areas of competitive advantage that should be available to an extremely wealthy country.
In brief, most of the policies that progressives like about social democracy are simply not incompatible with, in general terms, a more liberalized trade environment. The things that progressives want to achieve require the very instruments that Trump is trying to blow up. This does not mean that everything Trump has done is wrong. We do need to be tough on intellectual property theft. But progressives should feel no qualms about opposing the overall thrust of Trump trade policy. In the meantime, we need to invest significant effort into developing progressive thought on international political economy. Which is, alas, not a project that I can contribute much to.

Obama 'Policy Shift' on Drug Education a Sensible Change
Filed under: Church of Scientology,David Miscavige,Scientology — Louanne @ 7:49 pm
Tags: anti-drug, Scientology
Church of Scientology spokesman Bob Adams is an educator, former NFL tight end (1969-1977) and a community relations specialist. Here is his view of President Obama's announcement yesterday:
The Church of Scientology has been a strong community drug education activist for decades mainly because research by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1960s showed that drugs abuse not only has a social and personal health liability, it also hinders spiritual enlightenment. But even before that information came into my frame of reference, I had witnessed in my own years as an NFL tight end in the 1970s with the Steelers and Patriots many men of fantastic potential ruin their careers and personal relationships and die through drug abuse.
President Obama's new revised approach to bring on more drug education is significant and sensible, because a wider look at the havoc that results from ignorance of what drugs are and do, is a real eye opener. A new drug education documentary from the Foundation for a Drug-Free World which is available on the Internet and is based on interviews of over 200 former addicts, tells the real tale. In addition to proving the obvious—no one decides to become addicted to drugs—what is more meaningful is that one for one they had no clue where that joint, pill or drink would take them.
Statistics-wise, according to a March 2010 National Drug Intelligence Center report, the economic cost of drug abuse and trafficking is $215 billion annually, which omits the cost of drug-related crime. Abuse of prescription drugs has exploded (treatment admissions from 1997-2007 for prescription painkillers increased by more than 400 percent) and abuse of illicit drugs is commonplace.
As Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske remarked yesterday, the Obama Administration's new emphasis on drug education and treatment "changes the whole discussion about ending the war on drugs and recognizes that we have a responsibility to reduce our own drug use in the country."

Scientology Churches Celebrate Dianetics 60th Anniversary
Filed under: Church of Scientology,David Miscavige,Dianetics — Louanne @ 6:47 pm
Tags: Church of Scientology, David Miscavige, Dianetics, L. Ron Hubbard
Churches of Scientology around the world celebrate the original release of the religion's first book this weekend. Published May 9, 1950, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health became an overnight success and has been a continuing bestseller for 60 years. The work is the anatomy and full description of a portion of the mind that is the source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurities. More than 20 million copies have been sold.
Based on author L. Ron Hubbard's researches into the mind and human behavior prior to 1950, its release brought on the spontaneous formation of 750 Dianetics groups around the U.S. and establishment of the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Mr. Hubbard lectured, instructed and otherwise met a staggering demand, while continuing research into the fundamental nature of man culminating in the founding of the Scientology religion in 1952.
Today, Dianetics remains a key substudy of the greater body of Scientology Scripture, its perennial popularity sustained by its workability. Before Dianetics, prevailing scientific thought held that Man's mind was his brain, nothing more than a collection of cells and neurons, and IQ and personality were considered fixed and unchanging. With Dianetics, IQ and personality improved, its effectiveness documented in a multitude of case histories over more than half a century of application.
In 2009, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, announced the completion of translation in 50 languages of Dianetics and seven other basic Scientology books. Mr. Miscavige also released 32 new films of visual instruction in Dianetics procedures on DVD, part of a special Hubbard Dianetics Seminar now offered at Churches of Scientology, which include turnabout application of Dianetics procedure.
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is published by Bridge Publications and is available in 125,000 libraries in over 180 countries as well as public bookstores and Churches of Scientology. Dianetics Anniversary celebrations are open to the public.
Scientology Official Calls for Government-Community Cooperation to Attack Drug Abuse
Tags: anti-drug, Church of Scientology, drug abuse, L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology
A Scientology community relations specialist, citing a recent address by the U.S. Drug Control Policy Director, says government and private sector cooperation against drug trafficking and drug abuse is essential and warns that profit-making interests will attempt to impede both.
…by involving everyone and bringing on all solutions, starting with education. No single group or government can do it alone, but together we can rid our communities of drugs in a single generation.
Los Angeles (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 6, 2010 — Speaking to a coalition of anti-drug activists Tuesday night at the new Church of Scientology of Los Angeles in Hollywood, the Reverend Robert Adams pointed to establishment of the Interagency Working Group on Demand Reduction established by the White House Office of Drug Control Policy (the "Drug Czar") as a positive step, and called for similar interaction at regional, state and local level.
Reverend Bob Adams (left) discusses drug education strategies with community leaders.
A spokesperson for Church of Scientology International, Rev. Adams said that despite billions poured into "the drug problem" by governments, meaningful demand reduction will only come about "by involving everyone and bringing on all solutions, starting with education. No single group or government can do it alone, but together we can rid our communities of drugs in a single generation."
He reminded the audience that "Drug proliferation is all about money and exploiting people who have false information or no information about drugs. So the first step is to broadly distribute the truth about drugs, to empower individuals with the knowledge of what drugs really are and what they really do to the body, mind and spirit."
Adams said, "It is exactly at that point that 'demand reduction' kicks in — when individuals decide for themselves that drug use is not for them."
The Church of Scientology has conducted community-based drug education programs for more than 20 years, reaching millions with factual information about drugs internationally through distribution of "The Truth About Drugs" booklet series, drug awareness events, media, Internet sites, mailings, billboards and award winning educational videos and films.
One year ago: Scientology leader David Miscavige opens new Church in Nashville

The opening of the new Church of Scientology and Celebrity Centre Nashville on April 25, 2009, just one mile from "Music Row," drew Scientologists from across the region. Also on hand were scores of local dignitaries, residents and Hollywood celebrities. Among those who addressed the gathering were Grammy-winning composer and musician Mark Isham and actresses Anne Archer and Jenna Elfman.
Mr. Miscavige led the ribbon cutting ceremony, joined by Church executives and special guests, to officially open the doors of the Nashville Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre to all.
Speaking to the broader significance of a Church of Scientology in the heart of Music City, Mr. Miscavige dedicated the new Church:"The new Ideal Org and Celebrity Centre signals great things for tomorrow. And when you couple that with our ability to recover to individuals their inherent creativity, our ability to reawaken dreams and restore the power to achieve those dreams, yes, we can now make good on what L. Ron Hubbard tells us regarding the artist as creating the beauty and glory on which cultures depend.
"And that's both what this new Church represents and why we have come to Nashville. For while Nashville is known as the heart and soul of American music, let her now fulfill her destiny and write a song that will uplift every man."
With that, the ribbon was cut and the new Church in Music City, USA, opened to all to begin writing that new song.
Church of Scientology of Los Angeles Opens New Ideal Quarters
Filed under: Church of Scientology,David Miscavige,L. Ron Hubbard,los angeles,Scientology — Louanne @ 2:08 am
Tags: Church of Scientology, los angeles, Scientology
World's first Church of Scientology, formed in 1954, now joins a global roster of Ideal Churches of Scientology, poised to serve its growing congregation and the community for the coming decades.
LOS ANGELES—With a fanfare of trumpets and balloons floating aloft, 6,000 parishioners and guests cheered as the ribbon was cut, opening the new Church of Scientology of Los Angeles on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, officiated at the ceremony dedicating the new Church, joined by parishioners and Los Angeles-area officials.
The ceremony marked the conclusion of the fullscale redesign and construction of the Church's 64,571-square-foot property at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and L. Ron Hubbard Way, now fully reconfigured as an ideal Church of Scientology which also serves as a training center for Church executives and staff from around the world.
Describing the significance of the occasion, Mr. Miscavige said: "Today marks a milestone step in our planetary crusade to bring on our help on a truly global scale—so that one day there is no crime, no war, no insanity, a world in which Man is free to rise to greater heights."
In describing the significance of the city of Los Angeles to Scientologists, Mr. Miscavige said: "It's the city where the Church of Scientology was first incorporated in 1954. While even more than that, it's the city with the largest concentration of Scientologists on Earth."
Also commemorating the occasion was Ms. Karen Bass, Speaker Emeritus of the California State Assembly: "As a public servant, I try to do everything in my power to give a voice to the voiceless, and to guarantee that no one goes unheard. But through human rights education, we empower everyone to lift their voice and to be heard. The Church of Scientology I know has made a difference, because your Creed is a universal creed and one that speaks to all people everywhere."
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca acknowledged the actions of the Church and its members: "You have been consistently reliable in helping me to achieve my goal for a safer Los Angeles County. In particular, your drug education means everything to the safety of our schools and neighborhoods. That is why we trained a corps of our own deputies in the use of your unbeatable program, so I want to thank each and every one of you for everything you do in helping me do my job—because today, crime in Los Angeles is at its lowest in 40 years."
Los Angeles City Council member Paul Koretz spoke of the Church's place in the rebirth of Hollywood: "Those of us in the City long had a dream for Hollywood. It was for a Phoenix to rise from the ashes, after decades of decline. We needed to transform Hollywood with a cultural revitalization, one that would then ripple out across all of LA. What we are witnessing here is the essence of that Hollywood transformation. Because if ever today there is an example of making this the city of our dreams, it is the Church of Scientology."
"This striking Church and the complex extending south behind us were once the imposing Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, crafted 80 years ago in the height of the Art Deco period of American architecture. In renovating this landmark, you have gone beyond all of our expectations for what the new Hollywood can be."
Drawing from those Art Deco roots of 1920s Los Angeles, the fully reconstructed Church evokes the architectural revolution that contributed to putting the home city of the first Church of Scientology on the planetary cultural map.
In addition to an expansive Chapel are many unique elements including an extensive public information area of 20 multimedia displays, a library, seminar rooms, film rooms, volunteer workspaces for its many social and community programs and projects, as well as course rooms that seat over 480, with 35 rooms especially appointed for the religion's one-on-one spiritual counseling.
Formerly a functional building annexed to the 1928 Art Deco Cedars of Lebanon Hospital buildings designed by Claud Beelman, the massive reconstruction began in November 2009 and encompasses new walls, all new ceilings and finishes, as well as furniture constructed in-house at the Church's state-of-the-art custom mill with imported wood and marble from Italy.
The Church of Scientology of Los Angeles was incorporated in 1954 as the first Scientology Church in the world. The Greater Los Angeles area is the seat of the religion's Mother Church, Church of Scientology International, and Bridge Publications who publish and disseminate Mr. Hubbard's books and recorded lectures for all of North America. Worldwide, there are more than 8,500 Scientology Churches, Missions and affiliated groups in 165 countries.
Los Angeles is the fourth new Church of Scientology opened in 2010 and the ninth in the past year. The Brussels branch of Churches of Scientology for Europe was opened January 23. The Church of Scientology of Quebec was dedicated January 30, the first new major Church to open in Canada, and the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre of Las Vegas opened February 6. In October 2009, two major Churches were opened: the Founding Church of Scientology of Washington, DC, and the Church of Scientology of Rome. In April 2009, Scientology Churches in Nashville, Dallas, and Malmo, Sweden, were opened.
These Churches join the roster of new Churches of Scientology in the world's cultural capitals, including the National Church of Scientology of Spain in Madrid's Neighborhood of Letters; the Church of Scientology of New York, just off Times Square; the Church of Scientology of San Francisco in the original historic Transamerica Building; the Church of Scientology of London, located in the epicenter of the city; and the Church of Scientology of Berlin, near the Brandenburg Gate. Another 10 new Churches of Scientology are scheduled for completion before the end of 2010.

Extreme Sailing Series – back in Hamburg.
The America´s Cup is quite over, but we are all keen for the next challenge. We will be in New Zealand, but nobody knows on which boats we will race than. I think it will be foiling catamarans again. On the other hand there are a few sailors which expects foiling monohulls. That days the America´s Cup legend Dennis Conner was talking abouzt 90ft monohulls. We will see. Let´s go back in the harbor of Hamburg where the EXTREME SAILING SERIES takes place for the third time. It is a great chance for the the young guns to be on one of that high performance foilers. The GC32 Class is the entrance for the international racing circus and the chance to get a member at one of the America´s Cup Syndicate.
In 2016 we had enough wind in Hamburg for sailing. At least the catamarans just need about 6kn to get the lift out of the water. Unfortunately in August 2017 we just had gusts with 6kn but a lot of rain. The typical Hamburg Conditions. In that conditions it was really good, that Land Rover is the supporter of the Extreme Sailing Series, cause they had a big on-site set-up. You can get there a feeling of the off-road capability of the whole Land Rover range or you get a test-drive with one of the Land Rover Fleet. Unfortunately the time of the Defender is over. The world is crying. That´s really a pity. The next which will fate this fate will be the Mercedes G-Modell. His military licence will also expire and that´s it. But that´s another story, back to the test-drive. I drove the brand new VELAR and all I can say; that´s the car you´re waited for. Soon you will get more experience about it on my blog.
Back to sailing. It was still raining and there was still no wind. Therefore we enjoyed the delicious food and had a look at the guests, the sailors and VIPs. On Tuesday for example the senator for sports of Hamburg came and had a look what´s going up in the harbor. Above that we had a lot of 49er Racers and young guns who had a look at the race.
Last not least a fun fact makes the round at the paddock. Just that week they made the comparison between the The NACRA17 with the standard dagger board and the foils. The result is surprising. The foils are slower! But the pros in Hamburg are the opinion that will be changing when the skippers will get more experience.
We will see what the foiling generation will bring us in the near future. What do you think? Just tell me via comment. Right now we are talking about monohull Foilers?
I was located near the dock in the Hafencity in the SIR NIKOLA Hotel which was one of my best hotel experiences ever. Here you will finde the link to my Hotel Experience in detail.

Lord of the Rings Taps Game of Thrones Alum Joseph Mawle to Play Villain
Amazon's Lord of the Rings: Will Poulter Nabs a Lead Role — But as Who?
Lord of the Rings Amazon Series Taps Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom Director
Joseph Mawle is leaving Westeros and heading straight to Middle-earth: The Game of Thrones actor has joined the cast of Amazon's upcoming Lord of the Rings adaptation, our sister site Deadline is reporting.
Character details are being held tightly under wraps so far, but Deadline says Mawle will play the show's primary villain named Oren. He joins Black Mirror alum Will Poulter, who'll play young hero Beldar, and Markella Kavenagh (Picnic at Hanging Rock), who'll play Tyra, in the main cast. Amazon's adaptation — which earned a multi-season order from the streamer back in November 2017 — will precede the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's bestselling fantasy book series, which were adapted into a blockbuster trilogy of films directed by Peter Jackson.
On Game of Thrones, Mawle played Ned's brother Benjen Stark, a Night's Watch ranger who disappeared during a mission north of the Wall and eventually sacrificed himself to save his nephew Jon Snow. He appeared in a total of eight episodes of the HBO hit, last appearing in Season 7's "Beyond the Wall." He's not the only GoT veteran to join Amazon's Lord of the Rings, either: Bryan Cogman, who was a writer and producer on Game of Thrones, will serve as a consultant on the new adaptation.

Quickie: Top US Rep at UN Mission Afghanistan Pushed Out?
September 15, 2009 By domani spero in Af/Pak, Ambassadors, Elections, People
Photo from UNAMA
The Times is reporting that UN chief Peter Galbraith is removed in Afghanistan poll clash (The Times | September 15, 2009): Excerpts:
America's top diplomat at the United Nations mission in Afghanistan has been ordered out of the country after a row with his boss over how to respond to last month's fraud-riddled presidential elections, it has been alleged. The alleged quarrel is threatening to spark a mutiny within the UN mission. At least a dozen senior staff are backing the American, Peter Galbraith, in the dispute with his Norwegian superior, Kai Eide.
Mr Galbraith wants the IEC to annul results from 1,000 of the total of about 6,500 polling stations and to recount results from another 5,000, diplomatic sources said. Mr Eide, a former UN envoy in Bosnia, seeks only a face-saving recount of some 1,000 polling places, the sources said.
"The one thing the UN should be doing, which it's not doing, is speaking up on election fraud," said a mission insider. "A lot of people in the UN feel that unless there's space for someone to behave as Peter has behaved, then what are we doing here?"
Farhan Haq, a UN spokesman in New York, said that Mr Galbraith was in Boston "on mission" and would travel to London next week before going to New York to brief the UN Security Council on September 29 with Mr Eide.

Peter W. Galbraith is Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) for Afghanistan, with responsibility for political affairs. He served as the first United States Ambassador to Croatia from 1993 to 1998 and was the co-mediator of the 1995 Erdut Agreement that ended the Croatia war.
Laura Rozen now of Politico reports that Galbraith denies he was booted from Afghanistan. "I left at my own initiative for a brief period of time," Galbraith told POLITICO, speaking from his home in Vermont.
