As I immerse myself in the federal government, I have left my private sector world where web APIs have become commonplace. Sure I still worked hard to get outside of Silicon Valley and reach out further into land of "normals", helping spread the API gospel, but in Washington D.C. I seriously have my work cut out for me.
I have a great support system within the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) at the White House, but as I go deeper within specific agencies I see fewer web APIs, and fewer people who understand them. When I do come across a web service, it makes me hopeful, but still these SOAP driven services may get the job done for programmers, but lack the simplicity needed to get wider adoption.
This is only my second week in DC, I'm spending a lot of time going through websites, getting to know the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies, and recognize there is a lot of web talent, even though much is probably contracted, within the Federal Government. I can't help but think how CMS platforms like Wordpress, Drupal and others have helped our government publish valuable information and resources via the web, but we still are lacking a complimentary web API movement.
The value of websites has been accepted across federal government, what can we do to get web APIs to the same level? Web services are embraced, but they are still a very black box, developer centric tool, something out of reach of the common gov worker. But web APIs aren't much different than the websites being produced, they just trade their HTML output for data formats like XML and JSON--I'm looking to change this.
In 2013 and 2014 I want to pose the question in within government, why aren't open data and API skills part of the federal government's web developer toolbox, alongside the skills you already posses. You can increase the productivity of government 10x with this little change. Every time you publish web content via HTML, simultaneously publish an XML and JSON version of the same information. This little change will transform how our federal government works, much like it did when website development was adopted in the 90's.


Since the Indian government does not allow multiple citizenship – i.e. no person can hold a full Indian citizenship along with a full citizenship of any other country simultaneously.
However, there were a lot of people of Indian origin who did not live on the mainland and could not have themselves registered as Indian citizens at the time of independence and the commencement of the Indian constitution.
They were a citizen of India on the 26th of January, 1950, or any time after that date.

The PIO card will have to be surrendered in exchange for the OCI card at Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India that processes the application.
Regular applications for OCI status will be processed first by security agencies who append their comments, observations, and eventually clearance on the online portal, after performing their due diligence on all details of the applicant's claimed antecedents. This process is done within 20 days of the application being received by the Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India.
If any adverse information has been found about the applicant during the preliminary investigation by the Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India, the Ministry of Home Affairs must be intimated and prior approval must be sought before granting OCI registration. The Ministry of Home Affairs, in such cases, may approve or reject the grant of registration within a period of 120 days from the date on which the Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India received the application. If the Ministry of Home Affairs grants the registration, the Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India can register the applicant as an OCI cardholder.
If the security agencies do not (or are unable for whatever reason) to perform their due diligence on the claimed antecedents of the applicant within 20 days, the Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India will register the applicant as an OCI cardholder within 30 days of the receipt of the application – only if no adverse information against the applicant has been found during primary scrutiny.
It should be noted that if and when any adverse information is presented to the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding a particular applicant who has had his/her OCI status approved, the Ministry of Home Affairs has the authority to cancel the OCI card issued by any Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India. This is possible through Section 7D of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
Registration of a foreign-origin spouse of an OCI cardholder will only be processed after proper clearance has been granted from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Foreigners Division).
The Ministry of Home Affairs (Foreigners Division) will have to adhere to the terms of Clause (D) of Sub-Section 7A of the Citizenship Act, 1955 as incorporated by the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2015, notified on 10th March, 2015.
For these applications, the concerned security agencies will compile their comments, observations, and clearances together on the online system within 21 days of the acknowledgement of the receipt of the OCI application. The final comments of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Foreigners Division) will then be uploaded on the same portal within 30 days.
In case the concerned security agencies feel that further investigation or a detailed inquiry into any aspect of the applicant's antecedents is required, they have the authority to place that particular application in "On-Hold" status, until the inquiry or investigation is completed. This can also happen in cases where the security agency concerned is unable to complete the verification process within the 21 day period.
The Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India will first conduct investigations to determine whether the PIO Card is authentic, and then later issue their clearance to each individual application of this type.
If the PIO card was issued by a different Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India than the one to which the OCI application has been sent, the PIO issuing Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India will have to send the OCI issuing authority details regarding the genuineness of the PIO card in question. The Indian Mission abroad, Indian Post abroad, or FRRO in India that issued the PIO card is expected to finish this part of the process within 14 days.
Once all the formalities and scrutiny has been completed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Home Affairs, a booklet will be issued to the applicant, which serves as a multiple entry Visa to India, valid for the lifetime of the OCI cardholder.
The 'U' Visa sticker (Universal Visa) sticker on the foreign passport of OCI cardholders has been dispensed with, following a directive sent out on 29th January, 2015 to all Indian Missions abroad, Indian Posts abroad, and FRROs in India.
If it is found that any misrepresented, false, or fraudulent information was presented during the application for OCI, the Ministry of Home Affairs will render the OCI registration invalid and the OCI status of that particular individual will stand cancelled.
The OCI status can also be cancelled if the OCI cardholder shows disaffection towards the Indian Constitution, or comes under any of the provisions of Section 7D of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
Having OCI registration cancelled for whatever reason will not only repeal the benefits offered, but will also place the individual on a blacklist, ensuring that he/she will can travel to India legally again.
What Are The Benefits Of Being An Overseas Citizen Of India?
OCI Card acts as a Multiple-entry Visa with lifelong validity. OCI cardholders can travel to India at any time, and for any purpose except to conduct research, which requires an additional permit.
OCI cardholders need not register themselves with the regional FRRO upon entry into India. This rule applies for any length of stay in India.
All facilities available to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are extended to include OCI cardholders. Economic, financial, and educational facilities are made available, and OCI cardholders are equal in all terms to NRIs, except in matters relating to the acquisition of plantation or agricultural properties.
In all matters relating to inter-country adoption of children, registered OCI cardholders will be treated on par with NRIs.
OCI cardholders are treated on par with NRIs in all matters relating to tariffs on airfares in the domestic sectors in India.

OCI registration must be re-issued in cases where the cardholder's passport is being issued up to the age of 20, and once again after the age of 50 – to ensure that the OCI card stays up to date with the physical and biological changes in the appearance of the cardholder.
OCI registration need not be re-issued every time a new passport is issued if the cardholder is between 21 and 49 years of age, but, it can be re-issued if the cardholder so desires.
What's The Difference Between An NRI, A Person Of Indian Origin (PIO) And An Overseas Citizen Of India (OCI)?

PIOs are those persons who have ancestral roots to India, by way of their parents, grandparents, or great grandparents having been Indian Nationals. PIOs hold nationality, citizenship, and passports of foreign countries. They are foreign passport holders whose ancestors were Indian Nationals. OCI cardholders are those individuals who have ancestral roots in India, or are of Indian origin, and who hold a registered Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card which is valid under Section 7A of the Citizenship Act, 1955.

Unterhaltungselektronik ist ein Sammelbegriff für Elektrogeräte, die der Unterhaltung des Benutzers dienen.

Im Sprachgebrauch des Fachhandels wird sie Braune Ware (auch: Braunware) genannt, da die ersten Fernseh- und Rundfunkgeräte häufig furnierte Holzgehäuse hatten, in Unterscheidung z. B. zur Weißen Ware / Weißware für Haushaltsgeräte. Tragbare Unterhaltungselektronik wird veraltet auch Henkelware genannt, bezogen auf früher häufig mit einem Tragegriff versehene Kleingeräte wie Radiorecorder.

Einteilung

Geräte der Unterhaltungselektronik kann man in drei Gruppen gliedern:

 Wiedergabe (teilweise auch Aufnahme und Bearbeitung) von Ton (Musik und Sprache), z. B. mit Radio, CD-Spieler, Stereoanlage, Autoradio, MP3-Spieler, Smartphone und Mediaplayer
 Wiedergabe (teilweise auch Aufnahme und Bearbeitung) von Stand- und Bewegtbildern (Foto, Film und Fernsehen), z. B. mit Fernsehgerät, Videorekorder, DVD-Spieler, Projektor
 Computerspiele: Handheld-Konsole, Spielkonsole usw.

Die Abgrenzung zu rein mechanischen Geräten (wie es z. B. frühe Grammophone, Foto- und Filmkameras waren) und zu optischen Geräten ist dabei fließend. Geräte der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik wie Personal Computer, Tablets und Smartphones  (im Sprachgebrauch des Fachhandels Graue Ware) sind wegen ihrer vielfältigen Nutzungsweisen zunehmend sowohl Unterhaltungs- als auch Gebrauchselektronik.

Weltweit bedeutsame Messen
Messen mit Ausstellern aus aller Welt und weltweiter Berichterstattung sind vor allem:
 Internationale Funkausstellung in Berlin: über 100.000 Fachbesucher, über 100.000 Besucher ("Endverbraucher"), ca. 1400 Aussteller, über 130.000 m² Ausstellungsfläche
 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: Ca. 150.000 Fachbesucher, 3100 Aussteller

I can be impatient. I am particularly impatient when I am waiting for people who are late or dealing with stupid people or Congress, is the same as saying stupid people.
2) Do you believe some people have a gift for predicting the future?
You only hear about the predictions after they have come true. The rest are lucky guesses.
3) The microwave is a great invention for those who "don't want to wait." What was the last thing you prepared in yours?
It would be reheating coffee or a frozen dinner.
4) This was the theme of the TV show Dawson's Creek. Michelle Williams, a costar on the show, went on to earn multiple Oscar nominations. Name another performer who started out on TV and then became a movie star.
5) What's the last bit of advice you received?
To mail my Trader Joe's purchases with USPS "If it fits it ships." My Sister in Law works for the post office. I don't have a Trader Joes near to me.
6) What's the last advice you gave?
To DD1, that maybe a bath before bedtime for Caшa, 14 mos. would relax him. I am usually not into giving advice unless asked. But I did this time.
7) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What leaves you feeling refreshed or rejuvenated?
8) Easter is also recognized as the start of the spring season. What are you looking forward to this spring?
Taking the RV out to New Orleans.
9) Which would you rather find in your Easter basket: yellow marshmallow chicks (aka Peeps) or a chocolate bunny?
Woohoo! NOLA! You will have such a great time in the Big Easy.
Oh, that last photo is too fabulous!
I too am impatient with people who are late.
I never cook anything in the microwave, not since mine exploded when cooking a baked potato. Less than a year old and the sensor packed up.


Handley Page, aircraft manufacturers of Cricklewood, later Radlett.
1909 Frederick Handley Page first experimented with and built several biplanes and monoplanes at premises in Woolwich, Fambridge and Barking Creek. His company, founded on 17 June 1909, became the first British public company to build aircraft.
1912 Handley Page established an aircraft factory at Cricklewood after moving from Barking. Aircraft were built there and flown from the company's adjacent air field.
WW1 During the First World War Handley Page produced a series of heavy bombers for the Royal Navy to bomb the German Zeppelin yards, with the ultimate intent of bombing Berlin in revenge for the Zeppelin attacks on London. The aircraft included the O/100 of 1915, the O/400 of 1918 and the four engined V/1500 with the range to reach Berlin. The V/1500 only just reached operational service as the war ended in 1918.
In the immediate post-war years, Handley Page modified a number of O/400s to passenger use, which they flew on the London-Paris route as Handley Page Transport. The V/1500 was considered too large to be practical at the time, but a number of design features of the V/1500 were later incorporated into a O/400 airframe to produce their first dedicated passenger design, the W.8.
1919 Handley Page paid for the development of what soon became known as the Handley Page Slat, a small channel cut into the leading edge of the wing to improve airflow at high angles of attack, which was patented in 1919. The design was so successful that licensing fees to other companies was their main source of income in the late 1920s and 1930s. When the patent expired in 1938 the company had earned £750,000 from worldwide sales.
1924 Handley Page Transport merged with two other regional airlines to create Imperial Airways, the UK's first national airline service. Handley Page developed several large biplane airliners, including the 12 luxurious Handley Page H.P.42, for use on Imperial routes to Africa and India.
From 1924 until rearmament began in 1936 Handley Page Ltd was not very profitable. Graceful airliners were produced for Imperial Airways, but orders were too few to guarantee large profits.
1929 the airfield at Cricklewood was closed and a new one built at Radlett, where most aircraft were now to be constructed. However the construction of aircraft at Cricklewood continued until 1964 when the premises were sold to become the Cricklewood trading estate.
1933 Designers and constructors of military and civil types of aircraft. Head Office and Works: Cricklewood, London N.W.2.; branch at Radlett Aerodrome, Colney Street, near Radlett, Hertfordshire.
1947 Handley Page bought the aircraft-related assets of the bankrupt Miles Aircraft company. These assets include existing designs, tools and jigs, and the Reading site at Woodley. The most significant of the inherited designs was the Herald airliner. Designs coming out of the Reading site were shown by the initials HPR ("Handley Page, Reading"). Handley Page produced the Miles-designed M.60 Marathon as the H.P.R.1 Marathon.
Unlike the other large British aircraft manufacturers, Handley Page resisted the Government's pressure to merge into larger entities. By the late 1960s, the British aviation industry was dominated by just two combines - Hawker Siddeley and the British Aircraft Corporation.
Unable to compete for Government orders or with large commercial aircraft, Handley Page produced its final notable Handley Page design - the Jetstream. This was a small turboprop-powered commuter aircraft, with a pressurised cabin and a passenger capacity of 12 to 18. It was designed primarily for the United States "feederliner" market.
1970 The Jetstream was too late to save Handley Page, and the company declared bankruptcy in 1970 and was wound up after 61 years trading under the same name. The Jetstream however lived on as a successful product, the design being purchased and produced by Scottish Aviation at Prestwick and later when Scottish Aviation was incorporated into British Aerospace from 1977.

Jeweler Chad Verhoff opened Jackson Grey Jewelers in Chagrin Falls, to offer a more personal jewelry experience for his clients.  "By being a jeweler-owned and operated store it allows the client to have a personal relationship with the actual craftsman who is responsible for the work," Verhoff explains.
"Today people prefer to have a connection not only with the object they purchase but with the designer who made it." When entering the store most will find Chad stepping out of his workshop wearing his apron ready to greet you. Many stores don't offer you the ability to talk to the owner and most importantly the craftsman that will be working on your jewelry. "I am able to talk to clients from the perspective of an experienced craftsman who will be designing or repairing their jewelry and not as a salesman," says Verhoff.
An experienced artisan, Chad enjoys working with his customers so that they wear and enjoy the jewelry that they own. He calls it his Three R's: Restyle, Recycle and Restore.
"A customer of mine purchased a beautiful pendant while traveling. When she returned to the U.S., she didn't wear it. She didn't care for it as a pendant. I restyled it into a ring, which she loves and wears daily," he relates.
Sometimes jewelry needs to be recycled: the components broken down completely and remade into something entirely new.
"There is a limit to the number of times jewelry can be repaired. Older pieces may have been worked on so many times that the best choice is to remove the stones, melt down the metal and start over by creating something completely new," Chad explains.
Frequently, repair or restoration is all that is needed. Repairing damaged prongs, restringing pearls, and resizing are the sorts of fixes that quickly make treasured items wearable again. Having an on-site workshop allows Chad the ability to respond to emergencies, when special pieces need immediate repair.
Stop into Jackson Grey today and let Chad create something beautiful for you.
Jackson Grey Jewelers is located at 516 East Washington Street in Chagrin Falls next to Hunan's. Open Tuesday - Friday 10-5:30; Thursday 10-7; Saturday 10-2. Call 440.247.5600 for a consultation. Visit the website at jacksongreyjewelers.com for more information.

A large furry friend is providing creature comfort to people living with dementia in Sunderland, after proving popular at his first outing.
Barney, a very large English Mastiff dog, is a new regular at Essence Service, providing company to older people who have recently been diagnosed with dementia. He, and handler Gordon Wilson have been visiting the Essence Service – at Sir Thomas Allen Centre – once a week since June and service users have struck up a bond with the six-year-old pooch. The dog is from Wag and Company North East Friendship Dogs, a registered charity working out of Hexham that enables visiting dog teams to build meaningful new friendships with older dog lovers across the North East of England.
Alan Patchett, director at Age UK Sunderland – which delivers the Essence Service, designed to support people who have recently been diagnosed with dementia – said the visitors to the centre have fallen in love with Barney since he started attending the group.
He said: "For many older people, a dementia diagnosis – or even challenges presented by older age, like mobility issues – can mean that they no longer feel able to look after a pet.
Nancy Ramsey, 85, visits the centre every Monday, just to see Barney.
The Essence Service is the first port of call for people in Sunderland who have recently been diagnosed with dementia, and those who care for them. It is delivered by Age UK Sunderland, working in partnership with Sunderland Carers' Centre, The Alzheimer's Society and many other partners across the city of Sunderland, to provide the service, which is making a difference to over 1,000 people across the city.
The service offers a wide range of practical support by giving information in areas around health, wellbeing and legal issues, as well as providing engaging sessions and activities that keep people's minds occupied, something that can help to slow down the effects of dementia.
Diane Morton, director of Wag and Company, said: "Barney is a beautiful dog, and is fantastic company for older people, particularly those who have always has a dog as part of their family and can no longer have one. Much is written about the special relationship dogs can have with people with dementia and the comfort that having a dog around can bring, so it is lovely to be able to support the great work that is being done in the Essence programme.
To find out more call 0191 522 1310, email essenceservice@ageuksunderland.org.uk or drop in the Essence Service centre, at the Sir Thomas Allen Centre, Mill Hill Road, Doxford Park, Sunderland, SR3 2ND.

As if it wasn't challenging enough to try to make physical fitness a priority in our hectic lives, there are additional and somewhat frightening hidden obstacles contained within standard health club contracts. Admit it. Ask yourself if you really read and comprehended any waivers or more likely regarded them as annoying administrative necessities when joining and signing your club's contract. Your motivation to join was fueled by wanting to adhere to a New Year's resolution, or become beach ready or follow the advice of your doctor to get in shape, etc. Very few people, lawyers included, actually contemplate what waivers contain. We are more interested in the cancellation policy, or the monthly fees, or transferability, etc. of the contract. Also, pause to think about whether membership services ever explained what the waiver and release of liability could mean to you if you get injured at the health club. Again, many club benefits and "rules" were probably discussed with no mention of the waiver. Yet, the waivers and releases commonly attached to the health clubs' contracts can result in some unconscionable outcomes when injuries occur.
On March 22, 2013, the Illinois Appellate Court decided the case of Hussein v. L.A. Fitness International, L.L.C., d/b/a Pro Results, 2013 ILApp 121426 (1st Dist). In the Hussein case, the Appellate Court upheld a trial court's dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a man who was rendered a quadriplegic after a tragic mishap with some fitness equipment at a health club. In essence, the Court said that the waiver that Mr. Hussein signed when he joined precluded his bringing the lawsuit. He was barred from even having a jury or judge listen to the evidence and find out if the health club was negligent or responsible in any way for his devastating injury. He had signed a waiver when he signed the initial contract and thus, the waiver prevented him from bringing any sort of lawsuit. He had signed away his right to sue.
The Court then discussed that an earlier Illinois case called Garrison v. Combined Fitness Centre, Ltd., 201 Ill.App.3d 581 (1990) allows, and the state will not interfere, when parities allocate the risk of negligence as they see fit. The waivers may be broad but must put an individual "on notice the range of dangers for which he assumes the risk of injury, enabling him to minimize the risks by exercising a greater degree of caution," according to the Court. In other words, once you sign that waiver you had better be extra careful and know that even if the Club didn't get around to fixing that broken equipment causing you to fall and get injured, you cannot hold them legally responsible.
The Court then discussed several Illinois cases that involved releases and waivers which resulted in the dismissal of lawsuits, including a health club member who alleged that his trachea was crushed when a 295lb weighted bar rolled and dropped off a bench press; as well as another member who alleged that her wrist was injured in a slip and fall on a shower room. Both cases were dismissed.
It is important to note that the Court did mention that "willful and wanton" behavior cannot be similarly released as ordinary negligence. However, it is much more difficult to prove "willful and wanton" behavior as the conduct must be more intentional or egregious. Also, certain health club waivers may not apply to "personal trainers" as they may be "independent contractors" and thus not parties to the membership contract.
Be aware of what you probably signed and didn't realize. Dig out that old contract. Don't assume "it won't happen to me." Whether the health club was responsible or not, you probably waived your rights to sue and the Court will not care if you did not read or understand the waiver, nor will it care if it "leads to a harsh result." The treadmill in the basement may be a safer alternative as these waivers could be Hazardous to your Health!


For the year 2015, it's all about family to me.
Hello everyone! How was your new years? Mine was a pretty simple one, I hosted a small gathering at my place for some wine, dine and games. It was the best decision as I am too old for clubs and places with lots of people because I wanted Mika to be by my side to wish him his first New Years.
Maybe this year I will fully focus on Mika and also my bikini line which I started with Nana.
If I want to change or quit something, well... perhaps.... hmmmmmm, I can't really think of any.
Perhaps quit procrastinating haha... I think I said this every year. The only one person whom I know who doesn't procrastinate is my dad!
So yeah, perhaps 2015 is the year I should be more rajin ( hardworking ) and stop procrastinating like my dad.
Marcus, you so lucky lah, I promise not to get angry at you so much and be more patience like my mom ok?

Hyundai Genesis or BMW?
Genesis, left, Hyundai Motor's premium sedan, is marked with an eye on BMW brand, right, as competitor.
By Kim Hyun-cheol
``Don't count me out'' is the spirit of Hyundai Motor ― previously considered the carmaker of mass produced cheap vehicles ― intrying to tap into the U.S. luxury auto market with ambitious sales goals for its latest sedan.
The automaker aims to sell 50,000 vehicles of the model per year in the world's biggest auto market, John Krafcik, vice president of product development for Hyundai North America, was quoted as saying Wednesday. The Genesis was launched in the United States in June.
Krafcik said the company is targeting what he called ``confident nonconformists,'' who don't stick to premium brands, and the goal is ``reasonably achievable.''
As a premium sedan, the Genesis has several tough competitors such as the BMW 5 Series and Chrysler 300, with the former selling over 27,000 vehicles and the latter more than 44,000 so far this year.
The Genesis saw sales of 1,297 last month, Hyundai said.
Sales are lagging, but the maker still has the positive view that the sedan can be considered on a par with well-established rivals.
``We don't think it's as good as the BMW 5 Series, but we think they can be compared,'' Krafcik said.
Prices of the Genesis range from $33,000 to $42,000, roughly $20,000 lower than BMW's 5 Series. Its coupe model will hit Korean showrooms in December.
Getting away from its image as a cheap bargain carmaker has long been a desperate mission for the Korean automaker.
Hyundai products were given a bad name on the American market ever since the company first exported its compact Excel model there in 1986.
However, over 22 years, things have improved. It reached an accumulated exports landmark of 5 million vehicles to the United States in July last year, selling 750,000 vehicles in 2007 along with its subsidiary Kia Motors.
It is currently the seventh biggest foreign player there, and is looking to get an over 3-percent market share mark for the first time by the end of the year.
But still wanting is an image of being a robust and reliable producer. At the forefront of the image shake-up scheme is the Genesis, which was first unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, January.
Aside from the rivalry issue, Hyundai still has to tackle another hurdle ― the overall slump of luxury car sales.
Premium sedans in the U.S market are struggling lately, with sales down nearly 15 percent in the January-July period from a year earlier. Analysts are uncertain on whether there will be a rebound in the near future.

Azeri Journalist's Jail Sentence Extended on Eve of European Games
Azerbaijan -- Investigative journalist Khadija Ismayil - 2014
WASHINGTON - An Azeri court ruled on May 14 to extend the imprisonment of Khadija Ismayilova, an investigative journalist and RFE/RL contributor who was jailed last December in what is widely viewed as an act of retribution by Azeri authorities for exposing corruption linked to the country's ruling family.
"We're profoundly disappointed. Her imprisonment has nothing to do with any wrongdoing or law, it is about silencing Khadija and RFE/RL, by any means necessary, period," said RFE/RL Editor in Chief Nenad Pejic.
The new ruling continues her detention until August 24.
Ismayilova was arrested on December 5 and initially charged with inciting a man to attempt suicide. The man later withdrew the accusation, but authorities leveled new charges against Ismayilova in February alleging tax evasion, illegal business activities, and abuse of power.
The latter charges derive from a broad-based attack against RFE/RL that the government launched last December. Authorities labeled RFE/RL journalists as "spies," raided and closed the company's Baku bureau, interrogated over 25 of its staff members and banned several from traveling outside the country, terminated the bureau's lease, and recently froze the bank accounts of several free-lancers, preventing them from being paid.
Pejic said, "We will not let this attack on us and our people and RFE/RL families pass with impunity," and indicated that the company is taking all steps to defend its rights and interests against the government's actions.
Ismayilova received the PEN American Center's prestigious Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award on May 5 for her "hard-hitting investigations."
On the eve of the first European Games, which Baku will host in June, a group of prominent writers and editors have written to International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach urging him to demand Ismayilova's release and condemn human rights abuses in Azerbaijan.
About RFE/RL
RFE/RL is a private, independent international news organization whose programs -- radio, Internet, television, and mobile -- reach influential audiences in 21 countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus. It is funded by the U.S. Congress through the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).

KEEPER SAYS BACK-TO-BACK PROMOTIONS ARE 'INCREDIBLE'
BURTON Albion keeper Jon McLaughlin has described back-to-back promotions as an 'incredible' achievement.
He says: "Credit to all the lads and everyone at the club as it has been an incredible achievement to come up to League One and take this club into the Championship.
"It's a rarity but even more for a club of this size. For Burton Albion it just shows what you can do if you have the right people and a tight knit group of lads and a staff around that who know how to get the best out of the players and a fanbase who are all in it together.
"It's that family club feeling. You are playing for the manager, your fellow players, the chairman and the fans. That makes a difference."
McLaughlin says that the players were nervous against Doncaster but he was confident they would do it.
He says: "We knew it was going to be tough but I personally was very confident, becuase of the way we have been defending all season, that a clean sheet was there for us - especially the way we have been defending as a back five.
"We were hopeful we would go and score a couple of goals but it was obviously very nervy and we worried about making a mistake. But you can't blame the lads for that - it's like playing in cup finals or at Wembley. You are very aware of how much is on the line.
"But we did fantastically well as we knew what Walsall were doing - romping away with their game. Knowing that affected us and we knew we had to get that clean sheet. I think we were thanking our lucky stars when the ham-strings went for the Doncaster lads as before that they were looking quite lively.
"But we put ourselves in the position where we could go and get a 0-0 and get promoted and we did the job."

Punta de Hidalgo
April 2020 · 2 min read
Located in the extreme northeast of Tenerife, the small town of Punta de Hidalgo looks out over the Atlantic, and is curiously popular with both locals and tourists. We visited on a Sunday afternoon, taking a walk along the coast, and were surprised by how many other people had the same idea.
We took the TF-13 from La Laguna, until it ended at the coast in Punta del Hidalgo. At this point, there's nowhere for the road to go, boxed in by the mountains of Anaga to the east, and a sharp drop-off to the ocean below. So, we parked and walked over to the cliff, which looks down on a black sand beach, and across to the jagged profile of Anaga.
A trail leads from the coastline to the hermitage of San Juanito. The small religious structure is nondescript, and wouldn't be worth a journey in and of itself, but the coastal trail is gorgeous, with numerous paths leading down to the water. Careful which path you pick, though… Punta del Hidalgo is popular with Germans, and Germans like to do their sunbathing in the nude. We saw a couple things on this short walk which cannot be classified as "beautiful".
Earlier, I classified Punta de Hidalgo's popularity as "curious" — the town is small and doesn't have much in the way of touristic interest, so it was hard to account for the dozens of families, joggers, tourists, bikers, and camper vans that we passed along the way. It was like everyone just drove north until the road ended, and then decided to take a walk (which, I suppose, is exactly what we did). The trail rounded the point at the hermitage, and continued hemmed in by the ocean and the massive, plastic-covered plantations which still form the town's primary industry.
The Punta de Hidalgo Modern Lighthouse
Soon, we had arrived at the most recognizable architectural feature of Punta del Hidalgo, the strikingly modern lighthouse. Built in 1992, this operational lighthouse is comprised of a set of irregular white columns, which bring to mind both lava basalt formations and the Hallsgírmkirkja of Reykjavík, Iceland.
Because we were cut off from the main street by the plantation facilities, it was a long walk back through town to our car. The town itself did not impress us too much — this is definitely one of the municipalities on Tenerife which has become a foreign enclave, and we even saw some signs in German only, not even bothering with Spanish.
Still, we had an enjoyable wonderful day out, and at the end, spotted a trail that connects Punta del Hidalgo to the Mirador de la Cruz, in Anaga. That sounds like a fantastic hike, and we promised ourselves to check it out later.

Is it not strange how important trend-setting pointers in academia, almost by chance, present themselves? At a conference of the Southern African Historical Society, with the theme of 'Breaking boundaries, blurring borders: the changing shape and scope of southern African historical studies', one of the papers, presented in a regular session, attracted attention and favourable comment from historians across the board.
Prof. Neil Parsons of the University of Botswana, re-visited the longstanding issue of finding a platform for southern Africa in global history. The reason for the current interest in global studies at undergraduate level in the United States of America, he explained, was that it could liberate undergraduate students from 'big-power parochialism', encouraging them instead to explore the connectedness of all parts of the globe.
Of particular importance was Parsons' suggestion on how historians in southern Africa can make these links; how they can aspire to become part of this 'bigger' historical picture. The three cues offered in the paper have a direct bearing on the broadening, across disciplinary boundaries, of the foundations of historical discourse. He suggests that historians need to tap into the current field of genetic research in the biological sciences that locates the story of humankind in Africa. This in turn will require a more comprehensive investigation into the Early, Middle and Late Stone Age. And finally, a universalising approach must be taken in biographical studies.
We are particularly pleased to be able to publish Prof. Parsons' paper in this edition of TD The Journal for Transdisciplinary Research in Southern Africa.
Southern African historians, it seems, have their work cut out for them. There is a need to take the natural science route to the past. From there archaeology and palaeontology, the bridging disciplines between natural and social science, need to be used to decode the complex story of humankind on a genetically diverse continent. This will link African Eve to her descendents around the globe. In the final phase of this 'blurring of borders' the historian must master the art of writing history as a literary story; to show how individuals have, over time, taken their place in the long chain of events that comprise the story of life on earth.
Clearly, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary methodological strategies will have to be pursued in order to arrive at a point where historians in southern Africa will begin to share their findings with scientists in a variety of other fields in all parts of the world. 'Transnational' and 'transboundary' theories and perspectives are currently high on the research agenda at some South African universities. These are the buzzwords that bring a sparkle to the eye of many a young postgraduate historian. It is but one step further to link up to a transdisciplinary approach to historical studies.
Worldwide, the rigid boundaries that once separated disciplines have become less-circumscribed; they are no longer judged by the static conventions of yesteryear. History, as an academic discipline at South Africa universities, is only now beginning to recover from a sharp decline in under- and postgraduate student numbers, brought about by the reformulation of the South African educational landscape – a process that began in the 1990s.
A growing number of young scholars with fascinating fields of specialisation are now making valuable contributions at conferences in South Africa and overseas. They are bound to grow in number. However, that trend is subject to undergraduate teaching in History becoming more than the mere memorisation of facts. The focus should shift to the exploration of an intriguing past that is exciting and is relevant to the present. And importantly, it must inform the future. By taking hands with researchers in other fields, historians can open up a whole world of valuable knowledge.
In November 2008 members of North-West University's Research Niche Area for the Cultural Dynamics of Water hosted the first symposium of what is scheduled to hopefully become an annual event on the calendar of water studies in southern Africa.
In the hurried pace of things at the end of the year, as a rule tempers are growing short. Time is of the essence; things need to be rounded off. The intention with this symposium is to lure participants away, if only momentarily, from the rush of things, to contemplate relevant issues of common concern. The event offers participants the opportunity to speak their minds in open discussion on the important issue of water in southern Africa.
Three articles, based on themes that came under the spotlight at the 2008 symposium, are published in this edition of TD The Journal for Transdisciplinary Research in Southern Africa. Of particular importance is the article by Dr Anthony Turton. At the time of the symposium Turton was caught up in a conflict with the management of his former institution of employment, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). Because of this he was unable to present the paper he and a co-worker had prepared. His contribution in this journal provides a basic outline of the work he has been engaged in and the perspectives he has developed in recent years. Its publication here is in the interest of promoting responsible transparency in scientific research and reporting.
More information on the symposium scheduled for November 2009 can be found in a notice in this edition of TD. The theme is: 'What water problem? Multidimensional perspectives on critical issues in the Upper Vaal Catchment'. The focus will be on some aspects of the industrial, domestic and agricultural use of water in one of the hardest working river catchments in South Africa.
In the first issue of this journal, that of November 2005, an article was published under the title 'Project management in Ghana: expectations, realities and barriers to use'. It formed part of the editorial material, submitted earlier in that year, for a dummy run of the journal, before its official launch.
We were recently informed that the same article, 'Project management in Ghana: expectations, realities and barriers to use' had appeared in Acta Commercii, 2004, Vol 4. Pp. 88-102. The authors of this, the original article, were Daniel F. Ofori and Robert Hinson. An investigation into the matter brought to light that the article submitted to TD was a blatant act of plagiarism.
We unconditionally apologise to the authors of the original article for this unfortunate incident. The plagiarised material has subsequently been removed from the electronic archive of TD.
At a time when sophisticated software technology is increasingly able to trace even the slightest unethical use of material generated by other researchers, it is necessary for authors to take note that offenders will be caught out. It is not a matter of 'if', but rather 'when'.
The consequences of plagiarism are immense. The illegal use of another person's intellectual property is a criminal act. It leads to severe punishment. Ultimately, it means that the search for true knowledge, in the written form, is reduced to a useless bunch of lies. On a personal level, plagiarism inevitably ends the career of the guilty author in an abrupt and most shameful manner.
An awareness of plagiarism and its implications is inherent in our understanding of ethics in scientific research and reporting. It is an offensive practice, the worst form of cheating, on which researchers and students should be fully informed. It inevitably ends in disgrace for the perpetrator.

Ethiopia's Journey to Privatization: Demise to Developmental State?
By Gedion G. Jalata – The Ethiopian government on 5 June 2018 announced to undertake partial and complete privatization of major state owned enterprises. According to the government: Railway Service, Sugar Plants, Industrial Parks, Hotels and other manufacturing enterprises could be transferred to the private sector partially or fully while Ethio-Telecom, Ethiopian Airlines, Hydropower Plants and Martime Transport Enterprises, the government will retain controlling stake and transfer the rest to domestic and foreign investors.
The government necessitated such a move in an effort to boost and modernize the country's economy. However, information is not unveiled whether the financial sector will be open for foreign investors or not.
There have been some underlying factors that necessitated such move including the persistent foreign currency shortage; the deficiency of state-owned enterprises in undertaking corporate reforms; promoting the private sector development in the economic development of the country and the increasing debt threshold of the country.
Indeed, the journey to privatization started in 1994 when the Ethiopian government launched the Privatization Program in accordance with Proclamation No.87/1994. The government consequently established the Ethiopian Privatization Agency by law and subsequently privatized public enterprises of different size and operating in different economic sectors.
In this regard, several public enterprises such as large and medium scale industries, small firms operating in the retail trade sector, agriculture enterprises, hotels and tourist attractions have been transferred to the private sector. Certainly, this is high time to study the impact of past privatization in the country in order to draw an important lesson before we embark the new initiative on privatization.
For or Against Privatization?
There are fierce debates for and against privatization. Proponent of privatization argues that it has some advantages in general such as private enterprises are interested in making a profit, and are more likely to cut costs and be efficient than public; privatization also helps to generate revenue required for financing development activities undertaken by the government.
Nonetheless, many opponents argue that privatization leads to less accountability, deterioration in services and may not necessarily ensure efficiency gain as some research on privatized state manufacturing enterprises – beverage, textile and leather sectors- in Ethiopia indicates. Likewise, the privatization of Kenya airways did not bring the expected result. On the converse, the government of Kenya has been trying to bailout the airlines. The government, therefore, has been trying to buy more shares from the airlines to regain its former control.
Furthermore, opponents of privatization argue that privatization may not be necessary If sufficient measures are taken to create a level ground for fair and free competition between public and private firms and when public enterprises acquire autonomy with a challenge to determine their existence through market forces.
The relocation might even deteriorate the conditions of privatized industries if the new owners and their managers did not have a prior experience and adequate information on how to effectively manage privatized enterprises by taking into account their peculiar conditions. Profit maximization being their principal motive, private firms may lay off workers, whose social cost may not be bearable in developing countries like Ethiopia.
As the Ethiopian private sector is weak and fragile, there would be many gaps if government withdraws from and leaves the economy to private firms. Thus, the role of the state should not be limited to the provision of certain economic and social infrastructures, but go as far as investing in areas where the private sector is unable to involve due to fear of long gestation periods, huge capital requirements and less profitable.
It should also maintain large ventures under its disposal, the privatization of which might cause social shocks in the process of restructuring. This could create additional production capacity and employment opportunities in the economy. In this context, a cautious move to privatization journey is timely and pertinent for Ethiopia.
It is also important to recall the global financial crisis of 2007 and the associated series state bailout measures by the developed countries including the US, which brought back the debate on the role of the state in economic development fully. The economic rise of South East Asian countries especially the four tigers namely Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan as global economic force also remind us the role of the state in the development process. These were economies in which the states had 'governed markets' to ensure high levels of accumulation, technology absorption and conquest of foreign markets.
It is argued that cautious and pragmatic approach adopted by the government may not result in the weakening and ultimate demise of developmental state as it happened in many African countries. This is mainly for the reason that the developmental State trajectory of African countries was reversed by the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) of the 1970s and 1980s except Botswana and Mauritius, which managed to continue their developmental state trajectory and helped them to be among the middle income countries.
As the new Ethiopia's trend still indicates the government will retain the majority share in the strategic sector of the economy such as the airlines, telecom, and energy generation among others. This assures the government still in the driver seat.
To sum up, it is worthy quoting UNCTAD report: "what is required is a new [democratic] developmental State that is adapted to the challenges of the twenty-first century; creates and renews the micro-foundations of democratic practice to harness local, bottom-up problem solving and opportunity-creating energies; and embraces a wide range of governance modalities and mechanisms action, to achieve a national development vision" (2009:15).
The role of, therefore, strong democratic developmental state, which is a rare bird in the governance terrain, in bringing inclusive economic transformation and equity, which are the underlying priorities in both SDGs and Agenda 2063's ten-year plan, is inevitable for African countries.

~Dennis Farina 1944 (Cubs fan 1944-2014)
Dennis Farina was a Chicago cop, working as a consultant on cop movies, when he got the acting bug. His first major role: playing a Chicago cop. He proceeded to have a distinguished acting career with some classic films and television series among his credits, including "Midnight Run", "Get Shorty", "Saving Private Ryan", "The Mod Squad", "Police Story" and "Law and Order." But he also made no secret of his love for the Chicago Cubs. He didn't just play an avid fan alongside Dennis Franz in the play "The Bleacher Bums" for a few years. He lived it. In 2006, he narrated the Cubs documentary "Wait Til Next Year" for HBO. He also contributed to the film "This Old Cub" in 2004. And when he came back to his hometown of Chicago, he made the pilgrimage to that shrine on the North Side. Because Dennis Farina was a Cubs fan. Unfortunately he passed away before the big win of 2016.
~Dennis Franz 1944 (Cubs fan 1944-present)
He grew up in Maywood, the son of postal workers, and he always loved one sport more than others… "I had a wonderful childhood, and it all centered around baseball," he told Cigar Aficionado. "Baseball was my sport. I started out in the outfield, but I wanted to be part of the activity all the time, so I put on a few pounds and I became a catcher. That was my position, because I always loved being involved." And who did he root for? The Cubs. He had a favorite player too. "I grew up wanting to be like Ernie Banks. I was always imitating his hand movements on the bat." When Franz became an actor he joined the Organic Theater in Chicago. "We did play after play, and after we'd finish one, we'd talk about what we were going to do next. One of my friends from that time was Joe Mantegna. Joe lived near Wrigley Field, and we were all big Cubs fans. Joe suggested doing a play about Cubs fans and the mentality of Cubs fans. The play was about accepting the Cubs for what they are and loving them regardless, knowing that we will probably never see a World Series in our lifetime." That's Dennis Franz. And that's a Cubs fan. The play may no longer be relevant after the 2016 series, but at least Dennis Franz got to see them win it once before he was gone.
