Murujuga, auch als Burrup-Halbinsel bezeichnet, liegt in Western Australia in der Pilbara-Region. Auf dieser Halbinsel befinden sich schätzungsweise 600.000 bis über 1.000.000 Petroglyphen (Felsbilder) und Menhire, die die Aborigines herstellten und die bis zu 30.000 Jahre alt sind. Nach Schätzungen sind bereits um etwa 25 Prozent der Steinritzungen infolge von Maßnahmen zur Vorbereitung und Durchführung der Industrialisierung unwiederbringlich verloren gegangen. Durch die Gewinnung von Erdgas und durch den Ausbau petrochemischer Industrieanlagen ist ihr Bestand weiter in Gefahr.

Lage
Die Halbinsel ist 27 Kilometer lang und 5 Kilometer breit; sie ist umgeben vom Dampier-Archipel. Sie liegt 12 Kilometer westlich der Ortschaft Karratha und 1550 Kilometer nördlich von Perth. Ein Teil der Halbinsel ist durch das Meer abgetrennt; dieser Teil wurde Mitte der 1960er Jahre durch einen Damm mit dem Festland verbunden und ist damit auch für Eisenbahn und Fahrzeuge erreichbar.

Wirtschaft
Die Burrup-Halbinsel soll in ein großes Industriezentrum mit Exportausrichtung nach Ostasien ausgebaut werden, denn seit den 1960er Jahren baut der britisch-australische Konzern Rio Tinto Group dort Erze ab und in Dampier befindet sich ein Verladehafen mit der dazugehörenden Infrastruktur. In den 1980er Jahren wurde die Erdgasförderung mit einer Gasverflüssigungsanlage aufgebaut. Erdgas-Vorkommen an Land und vor der Küste sollen künftig in großem Maßstab erschlossen und ausgebeutet werden. Hierfür sind neben Industrieanlagen auch Pipelines erforderlich.

Gegen dieses industrielle Großprojekt in Australien wenden sich Aborigines, Archäologen und Umweltschützer, da in diesem Gebiet eine der bedeutendsten prähistorischen Ansammlungen von Petroglyphen befindet und eine weitere Zerstörung dieses Kulturgutes droht. Die Regierung des Bundesstaates Western Australia und das Unternehmen Woodside Petroleum wollen einen Industriekomplex in Holden Point errichten, wofür im September 2006 das zuständige Ministerium in Western Australia bereits die Baugenehmigung erteilte.

Kultur
Dass dieser Kulturraum sehr bedeutend ist, wird zunehmend wahrgenommen: "It is considered the most significant heritage site in Australia and is often compared to Stonehenge or the cave of Lasaux in France" (deutsch: Es gilt als das bedeutendste Kulturerbe in Australien und wird oft mit Stonehenge und der Höhle von Lascaux in Frankreich verglichen).

Die Felsgravuren auf der Insel zeigen Tiere wie die auf dem australischen Festland ausgestorbenen Tasmanischer Tiger, Wale, Dugongs (Seekühe), Kängurus, Emus, Echsen, Schildkröten, Fische, Vögel und tausende von mythologische Zeichen und Gestalten der Aborigines. Ferner gibt es Menhire (Steinkreise) und weitere kulturelle Steinauslegungen. Vertreter der Aborigines nennen die Felsengravuren unsere Bibel. Die Gravuren zählen zu den ältesten Kulturdenkmalen der Menschheit und werden auf bis zu einem Alter von 30.000 Jahren geschätzt.

Der World Monuments Fund stufte 2003 die Burrup-Halbinsel als eines der 100 meisten gefährdeten Denkmäler der Welt ein. Im November 2007 wurden die Petroglyphen unter den 10 am stärksten gefährdeten historischen Plätzen Australiens gelistet. Seit 2013 stehen Teile davon im Murujuga-Nationalpark unter Schutz.

Aufgrund der Masse der Artefakte liegt bislang keine vollständige Dokumentation vor. Die Schwierigkeit zum Erhalt dieses Kulturerbes der Menschheit liegt darin, dass es kaum bekannt ist und dass es abseits des Weltgeschehens liegt. Sally Morgan, eine bekannte Schriftstellerin der Aborigines, formulierte die Schwierigkeiten folgendermaßen: "Heritage is a mess in Western Australia. If Stonehenge were in the Pilbara, it would no longer exist" (deutsch: Der Schutz des Kulturerbes in Western Australia ist ein Fiasko, wenn Stonehenge in der Pilbara-Region liegen würde, würde es nicht mehr existieren).

Flying-Foam-Massaker
Die Yaburara-Aborigines sind die ursprünglichen Bewohner der Halbinsel. Dieser Aborigine-Stamm wurde im Jahre 1868 während eines Massakers, das sich von Februar bis März ereignete, durch die europäischen Siedler im sogenannten "Flying-Foam-Massaker" nahezu vernichtet.

Die etwa 200 Aborigines, die auf dem Dampier-Archipel lebten, hatten kaum Kontakt mit den Europäern. Dies änderte sich, als im Jahre 1865 in der Nickol Bay Perlen gefunden wurden. Als im Februar 1868 ein Aborigine nach einem Diebstahl auf einem Schiff der Perlenfischer festgesetzt und anschließend von seinem Clan befreit wurde, wobei ein Polizist und ein Perlensucher durch Speere der Yaburara bei dieser Auseinandersetzung zu Tode kamen, eskalierte der Konflikt zu einem Massaker. Eine Gruppe von Siedlern und Perlensuchern, die aufgerufen waren, den Anführer der Aborigines festzunehmen, überfiel am 17. Februar ein Lager der Aborigines und töteten alle Lagerbewohner und an einem weiteren Tag wurde eine Gruppe Aborigines beim Überqueren der Seepassage Flying Foam Passage erschossen. Offizielle Quellen sprechen von 5 bis 10 getöteten Aborigines; die Siedler und die Jaburara von 60. Es werden aber auch 150 Getötete genannt.

Gefährdete Kultur
In den 1980er Jahren wurden für den Bau einer Erdgasanlage bereits Felsen mit prähistorischen Bildnissen entfernt, die heute ungeschützt auf einer Deponie unweit dieser Anlage liegen. Weitere 200 Felsritzzeichnungen sollen bei dem jetzt geplanten Ausbau verlagert werden. Neben diesen Gefahren ist das kulturelle Erbe der Aborigines durch den Ausstoß von Abgasen und Schadstoffen der geplanten industriechemischen Anlagen bedroht. Seit den 1950er Jahren hat die Tiefe der Konturen in den Granitfelsen, die durchschnittlich 16 Millimeter betrugen, sich um 5 Millimeter durch natürliche Verwitterung reduziert. Dieser durch natürliche Faktoren hervorgerufene Verwitterungsprozess würde sich durch den sauren Niederschlag aus den Industrieabgasen erheblich beschleunigen.

Alternativen zum geplanten Standort gibt es, dennoch will insbesondere der Konzern Woodside Petroleum, der das dortige Erdgasvorkommen in großem Maßstab zu erschließen beabsichtigt, und die Landesregierung von Western Australia nicht von ihren Planungen in dem seit dem 3. Juli 2007 gelisteten nationalen Kulturerbe abrücken. Woodside steht unter Zugzwang, denn es sind bereits internationale Lieferverträge mit riesigen Volumina von verflüssigtem Gas geschlossen worden. Andere Unternehmen sehen inzwischen alternative Standorte vor, die das Kulturdenkmal in seiner Substanz nicht bedrohen.

Am 7. Juli 2008 nahm die australische Regierung 90 Prozent der Felsbilder des Dampier-Archipels einschließlich der Purrup Peninsula in das nationale Kulturerbe auf: Nun finden Kampagnen statt, um die australische Regierung zu bewegen, den gesamten Dampier-Archipel zur Aufnahme in die Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes zu beantragen. Um die Zerstörung des Kulturerbes zu verhindern, gibt es beispielsweise eine im Internet absendbare Petition an die Regierung Australiens und einen jährlich weltweit stattfindenden Protesttag, der im Jahr 2009 am 16. Juli stattfinden wird.

World Report: "Anti-war British MP Galloway kept out of Canada," CTV, March 17, 2009.
"Anti-war British MP Galloway kept out of Canada," CTV, March 17, 2009.
[Where is the Free Mark Steyn crowd when you really need them? As many have suspected from the beginning, the Harper govt can't take the heat and should get out of the kitchen. A real leader would let one of his champions debate Galloway on the substance of the issues. But Harper fears he would lose as the US Congress lost several years ago when he referred to their line on Iraq as "a pack of lies."
Letting Galloway into Canada wouldn't "legitimize Hamas." Going to war with them does that, and Israel has already done that with Harper, Ignatieff and Obama cheering their right to defend themselves (and legitimize the democratically-elected government in Gaza.
The new-new-conservative government is based on a pack lies and self-deceptions that is every bit as suffocating as the WMD pretext for invading Iraq. In Afghanistan, NATO doens't know who it's fighting or where the war is. Few can remember the actual pretext for the war. Anyone who can remember more than six or eight of the objectives of the war should win a prize.
Controversial British MP George Galloway has been denied admission to Canada to speak at a Toronto anti-war conference, and a spokesman for Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the minister won't intervene.
"The minister will not give a special exemption from Canada's security laws to Mr. Galloway, nor will he provide special treatment to a man who brags about giving 'financial support' to Hamas, a banned terrorist organization in Canada, or who offers sympathy for Canada's enemies in Afghanistan," Alykhan Velshi told CTV News in a statement on Friday.
The Canadian Jewish Congress quickly issued a statement commending the government for its decision.

LONDON (AFP) - A 109-year-old woman believed to be the last surviving female veteran of World War I has died, Britain's Ministry of Defence said. Gladys Powers, who lied about her age to join the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps when she was 15, died in British Columbia, Canada, on August 14, although the ministry only announced her death on Friday. Born in Lewisham in London, she emigrated to Canada at the end of the war after marrying a Canadian soldier. Most of the service records of the women who served in World War I were destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, making it impossible to formally confirm her time in the military. Paying tribute to Powers, Britain's Veterans Minister Derek Twigg said: "I am saddened to learn of the death of Gladys Powers who may have been the world's last surviving female service veteran from the First World War. "Over 80,000 women served in our armed forces during that war. "Although they may not have realised it at the time, these early women volunteers did much to break down the barriers for all those servicewomen who have come after them and who continue to serve their country today so proficiently and professionally." Powers' death brings the total number of remaining World War I veterans to three. They are Henry Allingham, who is believed to be Britain's oldest man, aged 110, Harry Patch, also aged 110, and former Naval Seaman William Stone, who is 107.

Home News Withdraw Query or Quit, Afenifere Tells Jega
Withdraw Query or Quit, Afenifere Tells Jega
By Samuel Ogundipe,
The pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has called on Professor Attahiru Jega, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, to either change his tactics or vacate his position.
In a scathing statement issued in Lagos at the weekend by its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, the group said its attention had been drawn to a query Professor Jega allegedly issued mostly to Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) across the Southern part of the country, an action it said is capable of destabilising the country ahead of the 2015 polls.
"The attention of Afenifere has been drawn to the query the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof Attahiru Jega, reportedly issued to mostly Southern resident electoral commissioners over his botched attempt to create lopsided 30,000 new polling units.
"The query dripping with venom was issued the very day Jega announced the suspension of the controversial exercise."
The group also warned that INEC's action, if established, would have a far reaching adverse effect on the country than the Boko Haram sect.
"If it was true that the said query was issued on sectional focus, on matter in which the INEC chairman betrayed unpardonable primordial insensitivity, we are bound to conclude that Prof. Jega is becoming more dreadful to the health of the polity than the murderous Boko Haram.
"Even without its lopsidednes in favour of Jega's region of the country, the whole idea of creating new polling units a few months to election was a product of inferior scholarship on election for a man from intellectual region hailed across the country as a 'man of integrity' when he was nominated for the job in 2010.
"It is equally baffling that rather than addressing the glaring incompetences of INEC which have seen it bungling the distribution of PVCs for data captured four years ago, Jega would now be occupied with fighting a war of attrition within the commission."
It, therefore, urged the chairman to either withdraw the query or resign.
"In the light of this, Afenifere advises Jega to withdraw the query immediately and concentrate on plans for the elections. However if he is far too gone into his sectional agenda, he should step aside from INEC and move over to any of the fora promoting what he desires.

To celebrate the Anglesey 2017 National Eisteddfod of Wales, five special prints are for sale. These images are rare reproductions of work by Edrica Huws (1907 – 1999) who settled in Talwrn with her husband.
Edrica Huws was educated at the Royal College of Art, London and later married Anglesey artist and sculptor Richard Huws. Towards the end of the1950s, having raised their five children, Edrica took up art again. She had been, for some time, interested in needlework rather than brush and paint – this was, after all, the medium by which creative women expressed themselves over the centuries. She insisted that patchwork should be considered a serious art form.
With so few examples of her work represented in public collections, thanks to the family's generosity, here's an exceptional opportunity to purchase prints of Edrica Huws' extraordinary images.
The high quality giclée prints, measuring 50cm x 40cm, are for sale, including mount, for £60 each at Oriel Ynys Môn, Llangefni.


In line with this, Ethiopia has designed its growth and transformation plans (GTP1 and GTP2) for the sustainability of the multi faceted development. The GTP1 has also laid down the foundations and stepping stones and an enabling environment for the second GTP. Some of the projects that were started in the GTP1, but couldn't be completed are transferred to GTP2. Currently, we can say that almost all the necessary infrastructures are on their construction phase some are completed and some are in progress. A case in point is the recently inaugurated Gibe iii which can produce 1870 mega watts. This wills double the ENERGY capacity of the country. The GERD is already 54 % completed.
Having prepared all these preconditions, our country has already declared to establish 10 industrial parks with in the coming five years.
Industrial parks in the fairly selected areas of the country according to the availability of local resource materials and skilled labor force are indispensable for our development. Furthermore, industrial parks have several advantages in facilitating the transition to industry led economy of our country.
In addition to these opportunities, the integrated Agro-Industry in the selected areas of different regions will also increase in exporting value added products to foreign countries and the proper utilization of our material resources to the best level.
Therefore, shall we say what our Federal Government has designed is the Right Strategy at the Right Time for the Right purpose?

Coast Guard Criminal Defense
Military Rule of Evidence 609 – Impeachment with a Prior Conviction
Our Lawyers Defend False Sexual Assault Allegations
Amended (2008) Military Rule of Evidence 609. Impeachment by evidence of conviction of crime
(a) General rule. For the purpose of attacking the credibility character for truthfulness of a witness,
(1) evidence that a witness other than an accused has been convicted of a crime shall be admitted, subject to Mil. R. Evid. 403, if the crime was punishable by death, dishonorable discharge, or imprisonment in excess of one year under the law under which the witness was convicted, and evidence that an accused has been convicted of such a crime shall be admitted if the military judge determines that the probative value of admitting this evidence outweighs its prejudicial effect to the accused; and
(2) evidence that any witness has been convicted of a crime shall be admitted if it involved dishonesty or false statement, regardless of the punishment, if it readily can be determined that establishing the elements of the crime required proof or admission of an act of dishonesty or false statement by the witness. In determining whether a crime tried by court-martial was punishable by death, dishonorable discharge, or imprisonment in excess of one year, the maximum punishment prescribed by the President under Article 56 at the time of the conviction applies without regard to whether the case was tried by general, special, or summary court-martial.
Time limit of Military Rule of Evidence 609
Evidence of a conviction under this rule is not admissible if a period of more than ten years has elapsed since the date of the conviction or of the release of the witness from the confinement imposed for that conviction, whichever is the later date, unless the court determines, in the interests of justice, that the probative value of the conviction supported by specific facts and circumstances substantially outweighs its prejudicial effect. However, evidence of a conviction more than ten years old as calculated herein, is not admissible unless the proponent gives to the adverse party sufficient advance written notice of intent to use such evidence to provide the adverse party with a fair opportunity to contest the use of such evidence.
Juvenile adjudications and Military Rule of Evidence 609
Evidence of juvenile adjudications is generally not admissible under this rule. The military judge, however, may allow evidence of a juvenile adjudication of a witness other than the accused if conviction of the offense would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the military judge is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination of the issue of guilt or innocence.
Definitions in Military Rule of Evidence 609
For purposes of this rule, there is a "conviction" in a court-martial case when a sentence has been adjudged.
This method of impeachment can be done in cross-examination, with extrinsic evidence, or both. An important element in the analysis is the type of crime for which the witness was convicted.
Crimen falsi convictions
Crimen falsi convictions are crimes such as perjury, false statement, fraud, or embezzlement, which involve deceitfulness or untruthfulness bearing on the witness's propensity to testify truthfully. For crimen falsi crimes, the maximum punishment is irrelevant and the military judge must admit proof of the conviction.
Non crimen falsi crimes involve convictions for offenses punishable by death, dishonorable discharge, or imprisonment in excess of one year under the law of the prosecuting jurisdiction. The key is the maximum punishment the witness faced, not the actual punishment the witness received.
Balancing test for witnesses: Admissibility of non crimen falsi convictions of witnesses is governed by Rule 403. The military judge
can exclude this evidence if the probative value is substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice.
Balancing test for the accused witness
Admissibility of non crimen falsi convictions of the accused is more restrictive than Rule 403. Convictions are only admissible if the military judge determines the probative value outweighs the prejudicial effect. See United States v.
Ross, 44 M.J. 534 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 1996).
Time Limit.
Conviction generally inadmissible if more than 10 years old. May be admitted if: Interests of justice require; probative value substantially outweighs prejudicial effect; proponent provides other party with notice. Although not specifically stated in the rule, most commentators believe the ten year limitation applies to crimen falsi as well as non crimen falsi convictions.
What are Collateral Consequences of SEX OFFENDER Registration?
Juvenile Adjudications
Generally not admissible unless necessary to a fair resolution of the case, and evidence would have been admissible if witness previously had been tried as an adult. Juvenile proceedings may be used against an accused in rebuttal when he testifies that his record is clean. See United States v Kindler, 34 CMR 174 (C.M.A. 1964).
Summary courts-martial are allowed only if the accused was represented by counsel or representation was affirmatively waived. United States v. Rogers, 17 M.J.990 (A.C.M.R. 1984)

Have you ever wanted to erase your past criminal records?
Well, in Maryland, there are ways you can clean up your past, through the process of expungement, so that you can move forward in life and stop being held back by poor decisions that you made some time ago.
In fact, if your prior criminal past meets specific conditions set forth by Maryland law, you may be able remove your criminal files and prevent them from being accessed by both the general public and law enforcement agencies indefinitely.
If you reside in Maryland, and are interested in finding out how to expunge your criminal record, keep reading.
Today's guide will explain what exactly expungement in Maryland entails, what it takes to be considered eligible for expungement, why you should consider removing your criminal records from the public eye, and the basic process you must go through to become fully expunged in Maryland.
As mentioned earlier, expungement is the removal (or sealing) of your criminal past from the both the general public and law enforcement agencies. More specifically, expungement is the process by which you ask the court to remove certain court and police records from public view.
Simply put, through the process of expungement, your criminal past is no longer available for anyone to find out about, unless you mention it them personally.
How Do You Qualify for a Maryland Expungement of Criminal Records?
Expungement of your criminal record is not a guaranteed right in the United States. Rather, it is considered a privilege, and is only granted under certain circumstances.
Typically speaking, the outcome of your criminal case will determine whether you qualify for expungement in Maryland, regardless of whether the crime you committed was a felony or misdemeanor.
As you can see, not everyone is eligible for expungement, as it is for deserving individuals. In fact, if you are convicted of a crime, the only way you may be eligible for expungement is if the crime was considered non-violent and the Governor of Maryland has agreed to pardon you.
Why Consider Filing for Expungement?
If you are not prone to extensive criminal activity, and simply made a poor decision in the past, it may be easy to convince yourself that it is best to just let it go as a lesson learned and move on. This however, does not protect you in the future from the long-lasting consequences of having a criminal record, no matter how minor you may feel it is.
In the end, an expungement of criminal records will not apply to all of the above scenarios. However, for the sake of explanation, you can see how having a criminal record in Maryland can have far-reaching effects in your life.
So, if you have the opportunity to expunge those records, and save yourself the hassle of being denied for so many things, why not do it?
It is important to note that each agency you dealt with at the time of your arrest, summons, or citation must send you a Certificate of Compliance in order for your expungement to be considered complete.
Cleaning up your criminal past may seem simple enough, but if you have been through the court system for a crime, you know better than anyone that criminal cases are anything but simple. Worse yet, having a criminal record in Maryland can make it difficult to get a better paying job, attend educational institutions, and even rent an apartment.

World's largest active volcano continues to rumble in Hawaii
by: Sam Spangler, Nexstar Media Wire
HONOLULU (KHON) — Mauna Loa remains in a yellow advisory with dozens of small daily earthquakes, a sign that the large volcano could be headed toward eruption.
The unrest began back in July and peaked in September with 40 to 50 small earthquakes a day. Recently, there have been about 10 to 20.
While an eruption is not imminent, officials say there are other signs of unrest.
"We're continuing to see the same levels of increased rates of inflation at the summit, which is indicative of magma moving into that shallow reservoir of Mauna Loa," Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geophysicist Andria Ellis said.
Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes that together make up the Big Island of Hawaii, which is the southernmost island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It's not the tallest (that title goes to Mauna Kea) but it's the largest and makes up about half of the island's land mass.
Twins born from embryos frozen nearly 30 years ago break record
Mauna Loa last erupted 38 years ago. In written history, dating to 1843, it's erupted 33 times. Its height gives it steeper slopes, which allow lava to rush down its hillsides quickly.
It's a tough challenge for Hawaii County Civil Defense to coordinate what an eruption would do. Each eruption since 1843 started at the summit. Half the time, the volcano also began erupting from vents at lower elevations. The other half of the time it only erupted in the summit caldera.
Hawaii volcanoes like Mauna Loa tend not to have explosion eruptions like Mount St. Helens, for example. Still, lava covering one of the island's many two-lane highways would be tough on residents and first responders.
"Shutting down the main arteries will disrupt life," Hawaii County Civil Defense administrator Talmadge Magno said. "I went down to lower Puna a couple of weeks ago and roads are still out. They are planned to be reconstructed, but life is returning. So that's living on an active volcano. These are dynamic, and we have to face this."
New technology could save 'ōhi'a trees from rapid death
With that, it's up to residents to have a plan.
"We need to be prepared for that volcano if it does go off and affects communities. But what about the prior stuff? What about the earthquakes?" Big Island resident Marni Renner asked. "If there's any earthquake, are people even prepared for that? Simple things like gas in your car, propane tanks, having an emergency kit or backpack packed for each person in your household."
There could also be situations where families are separated.
"They need to recognize what their situation is where they're living, where they're working with their families to have their activities, especially when they're, you know, about their daily activities and separated. They need to know how to communicate to the point where, you know, they even have a family plan, maybe a rally site," Magno said.
During an eruption, civil defense can rely on HVO maps to pinpoint where flows would go to keep people out of harm's way and avoid evacuating random large communities if it's not necessary.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has more than 60 GPS stations on Mauna Loa taking measurements to estimate the location and the amount of magma accumulating beneath the surface.
Scientists use tiltmeters to track long-term changes in the tilting of the ground, helping them identify when the ground is swelling or deflating. A rapid change in tilt can indicate when an eruption will occur.
There's also a thermal webcam at Mauna Loa's summit that will identify the presence of heat. And satellite radar can keep track of ground swelling and deflation.

iPhone 6, iPhone Mini, iPhone 5S Relaese Date – Interesting projections
Though Apple's moves are not quite predictable, keen analysts have observed that the tech giant is busy expanding its product base to introduce versatility. Analyst Brian White has specifically drawn attention to Apple's entry into the phablet arena and the budget-conscious market.
The supposed phablet competitor is most probably the iPhone 6. Though exact specs are not available, White's report stressed that it will be bigger than the 4-inch standard screens prevailing now. Recalling earlier rumors, the bigger display of iPhone 6 will use Sharp's IGZO screen technology which will provide a thinner profile and better power efficiency. The device may feature a smart bezel, i.e,. a secondary display embedded around the primary display to add new controls. It may come with a 12MP camera and 64GB internal storage.
A remarkable projection about the low-cost iPhone drives curiosity. The report calls it iPhone Mini, which is supposed to emerge with a 3.5-inch screen similar to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The model is expected to come in five colors. In addition to Apple's standard black and white, White mentioned pink and blue. The other color is likely to be red as evident from earlier leaks.
The iPhone Mini will debut before the iPhone 5S. Assuming that the iPhone 5S is coming in August-September, the Mini model is likely to come in July. So, it nullifies earlier reports which said that Apple is gearing up to release budget iOS devices, pointing to a cheaper iPad Mini slated for Q4 2013.
While there are no other specific details about the iPhone Mini, it is clear that the device targets the budget-conscious market, especially India and China. A Morgan Stanley analyst recently projected that the iPhone Mini will bear a maximum price tag of $399. Apple enthusiasts are waiting for the WWDC on June 10th to quell speculations and learn the truth.

A superb start by City, in which they attacked with pace and slick passing and destroyed Deal's defensive left side, saw the visitors lead 3-0 after just 30 minutes.
Sam Lawford struck for City in the 10th and 23rd minutes, firstly finishing off a cross from the right by the impressive Patrick Nzuzi and then slotting home from a tight angle after good work by Rob Lawrence.
On the half hour Danny Keytes drove home a third for the rampant visitors. .
With Dean Hill and Ben Chapman sent on at the start of the second half there was a brief response from Deal which saw Joe Reeves to pull a goal back after 60 minutes.
Any hope of a comeback by the home side were dashed within 60 seconds when Deal keeper James Tonkin fouled Rob Lawrence in the box, and after a short delay in which Tonkin was cautioned, David Pilcher rapped home the resultant spot kick on 62 minutes.
Deal's miserable afternoon was completed when Andy Miller received a red card fourteen minutes from full time for serious foul play.

Business performance assessment findings drive organizational actions. Consequently, a great deal of care must be taken when deciding what to include within a self assessment report. Findings based on logically derived conclusions founded on observable, quantifiable facts provide leaders with insightful information on how to improve performance. Findings built on opinion-based conclusions or founded primarily on individual experience frequently lack the vigorous underpinnings necessary to ensure a performance improvement opportunity. Thus, these suggestion-type findings should be excluded from formal self assessment reports.

The novel Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) posed a high global public health threat. Implementing preventive and control measures, the whole world made effort to prevent the spread of the deadly virus [1]. The spread of the disease was higher in densely populated regions, especially in middle and low-income countries, as the measures of social distancing were difficult to implement and rehabilitation facilities are inadequate and inefficient in many such countries [2]. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our daily life activities, movements, and business and led to profound consequences for public healthcare, economy, and sociopsychological elements [3]. Compared with the general population, people with disabilities need better health care facilities within their reach for their well-being [4].
According to the report published by the World Health Organisation and World Bank in 2011, about 15% of the world population were estimated to be live with some forms of disability, also, 2% to 4% of the population experienced severe functioning difficulties, needing immediate assistive technology interventions [5].
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to push people with locomotor disabilities at a high risk of morbidity and mortality, compared with other populations. The main reason for this seems to be a disparity in access to public health facilities. Physical distancing and self-isolation further disrupted the services to the people with locomotor disabilities, who depended on caregivers for personal care and daily living activities [6]. Due to the existing comorbidities, they might be prone to health issues and respiratory syndrome [7]. Also, the difficulties in day-to-day activities and support system might result in their behavioral changes and returning to routine work [8].
However, the state-imposed lockdown during the pandemic not only affected economic and social interaction [9] but also led to many challenges for prosthetic and orthotic users in low and middle-income countries. The demand for prosthetic and orthotic services is increasing daily in developing countries [10]. There are about 40 million amputees in developing countries, and only 5% of them have access to prosthetic care as reported by the World Health Organization. The professionals' strength is lacking for proper service delivery. The standard need for prosthetics and orthotics delivery is 5 to 10 orthotics and prosthetics clinicians per million population. However, for middle and low-income countries like India, the corresponding figure is just one [11, 12].
Transportation, mobility needs, societal attitudinal barriers, and environmental access issues have also been identified as a global challenge for people with disabilities [13]. During the pandemic, the government norms either ignored the interest of the people with disabilities or adversely affected the whole system, deteriorating their quality of life [14]. Furthermore, the majority of the government institutions and service modalities are providing only online teleservices (by video and on phone calls), which are becoming a new normal to both the service users and providers. But satisfaction and accuracy in prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation are yet to be established, as prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation need more physical contact for better outcome [15].
During the pandemic, telehealth emerged as a potential healthcare delivery system to provide treatment for those living in remote areas with no access to rehabilitation services. It also provides a cost-effective option to the clinicians and the clients. However, clinical satisfaction and effectiveness are yet to be properly assessed [16]. The advantages of telerehabilitation include a reduction in travel time and low cost for patients and caregivers. It promotes multidisciplinary teamwork and easy monitoring in remote areas. However, the liability concern of professionals increases in the case of teleconsultation. Major concerns in this area include the lack of broadband facilities in many locations especially in middle and low-income states and the issue of security to the patients' privacy [17].
Presently telehealth rehabilitation utility, though limited, is encouraging. Further research is needed to find out which prosthetic and orthotic assessments and treatments are feasible through the telehealth service delivery. However, the interventions that need physical contact with the patients may not be effective and efficient enough when delivered through telehealth modalities [18]. The application of the advanced technology of artificial intelligence may help to attain the goal of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation with minimal human intervention [19].
The application of the advanced technology of artificial intelligence may help to attain the goal of prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation with minimal human intervention. Currently, the technology is being used for the advanced care of neuropsychiatries, myoelectric control, gait training, patient data measurement, clinical decision, etc. Nevertheless, existing technologies are yet to evolve and become user-friendly to deliver greater good to the patients, rehabilitation professionals, and caregivers [20].
Technology up-gradation needs to continue enhancing future rehabilitation service delivery. Also, the governments, NGOs, and prosthetic and orthotic industries have to keep on generating the required infrastructure to favor digital transformation post-COVID-19.
This research did not receive any grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors.

Fairy Elements has an interesting premise where the protagonist Yamato has already beaten the big bad, but is subsequently transported 200 years into the future only to find that he has to do battle with his old enemies once again.
Traverse across grid-like maps, while combating enemies in turn-based battles. Loot come in the form of weapons and armour which you can either equip right away or use to enhance existing gear. Fairy Elements is available now both Android and iOS.


Pid developer Might & Delight has announced their new game Shelter, which is a third-person game for the PC and Mac where you play as a mother badger protecting her cubs.
Well the game certainly sounds unusual, it will definitely be interesting to see what such an established developer can do with a badger game. However, it sounds unique and at least it is not another FPS, so that's something we can be grateful for.
Shelter is due out summer 2013 and you can find the link to the Greenlight here.

Q: Managing data struture state on multithreaded application I need some advice on how to manage state of hash map/Array list when it comes to service running on server. I am trying designing IP address management system in which requirement is when ever API call happens, method should provide first available which is not been allocated IP address from the hash map/Array list. I considered two approaches for this.

*

*When ever IP address is allocated to some logical name, default.property file is created for that particular IP address/logical name which stores all information. So each time request comes I can go through all files to check what IP addresses are assigned previously and than allocate IP address. But I think this will increase processing time.

*I can maintain data structure which will have all available IP addresses ad I will stores that object in a file each time ip address is allocated. But I feel this will lead to single point of failure.
It will be great if any one can advice me on this
Thanks for your time.

Orders are better, will textile exports prosper in 2022?
VCN - In 2022, the pandemic is expected to ease, while the ability to control the pandemic will be better, then the textile and garment market will improve. Vietnam's textile and garment industry should seize the opportunity to rise.
In the most positive scenario, the value of textile and garment exports this year is expected to reach about US$37.5-38 billion. Photo: NT
After the difficulties due to the impact of the pandemic and production stagnation, recently, enterprises in the textile and garment industry have gradually returned to production.
Mr. Pham Xuan Hong, Chairman of the Association of Garment-Textile-Embroidery-Knitting in HCM City (AGTEK), said that the stock of unmanufactured backlog orders is still quite high, and the newly added orders will help businesses have abundant orders. Besides, the morale of employees is also quite good after returning to work, there are businesses with higher productivity than usual.
"After a long period of stagnation, workers are in dire need of jobs and income. Many businesses have considered overtime to keep up with orders. I think this is also a good sign for the textile and garment enterprises in the South in the last three months of the year," Mr. Hong said.
Looking back at the overall impact of the pandemic, Mr. Le Tien Truong, Chairman of the Board of Vietnam Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), said that the pressure and risks are quite large for Vietnam's textile and garment enterprises because while the main markets have recovered strongly and the demand has increased rapidly, the Vietnamese enterprises were not able to organize production due to the pandemic.
The number of customers who have to move orders will certainly be large, with a forecast of about US$3-4 billion in the third quarter of 2021 when export turnover is only US$10 billion, while the average of 2019 is about US$13 billion.
The movement of customers means that it affects the position and market share of Vietnam's textile and garment in the supply chain, it is not immediately confirmed that it will decrease but there are signs of a decreasing trend.
"At the same time, creating a need to diversify the orders of firms, there is a long-term risk of reducing the growth rate of Vietnam's textile and garment industry, which has been achieved in the past three years," Mr. Truong said.
Regarding the outlook for 2022, Mr. Hong said that in 2022, Vietnam and the world's pandemic situation will be relieved, the ability to control the pandemic will be better, then the market will improve.
After about two years, the global textile and garment market is under "pressure", but if people's shopping demand recovers, it will increase. Besides, Vietnam's rivals currently do not have too many advantages compared to Vietnam.
"Not only social security and political stability, but also the skills of Vietnamese workers are better. We should take the opportunity to rise in 2022. I hope that after a period of "weariness" because of the pandemic, businesses will together exploit the growth potential of the world textile market," Mr. Hong said.
Mr. Le Tien Truong said the pressure to return to production capacities like pre-pandemic levels and social distancing will be the theme of businesses in the next three years. In addition to the competition in the textile and garment industry for labor, there is also fiercer competition with other industries in the southern key economic region, which are facing a widespread shortage of labor.
In addition, non-production costs will continue to increase for businesses in 2022, the largest includes Covid-19 testing for employees; logistics costs at home and abroad.
In the first nine months of 2021, the main export items in the textile and garment industry are garments, reaching US$21.7 billion, up 5% over the same period in 2020 and down 5.4% over the same period in 2019; lychee exports reached US$1.8 billion, up 37.4%; fiber exports reached US$4 billion, up 56.2%; non-woven fabric exports reached US$557 million, up 77.3%; exports of textile and garment accessories reached US$921 million, up 21.8%.
According to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, with the most positive scenario, the export value of textiles and garments for the whole year 2021 will reach about US$37.5-38 billion. It is forecast that if in 2022 the production and business situation return to normal, Vietnam's textile and garment industry will strive to achieve an export value of US$39 billion - 42 billion.

Auto Repair in Laporte, CO
Laporte, CO
The community of Laporte, Colorado, is located in Larimer County, northwest of Fort Collins on the Cache La Poudre River, near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Laporte covers six square miles of land at an elevation of just over 5,000 feet, home to a small population of some 3,000 residents.
The town was settled by French-Canadian fur trappers as the first white settlement in the entire county, with cabins built as early as 1828. They came up with the name la porte, meaning "the door" in French. The settlement soon grew into a bustling business and supply center accommodating a constant flow of wagon trains and stagecoaches. For many years Laporte was the most important settlement north of Denver, housing a stage station and the county courthouse.
When it comes to vehicle care today, Gilsdorf Garage takes pride in serving Laporte with the true old-fashioned values of honesty, integrity and quality. Our ASE-Certified technicians utilize the most modern technology in auto repair, combined with overall professionalism that takes the mystery out of the entire process. In business since 1950, our shop will pinpoint any problem you're having and keep you driving in top form. We look forward to seeing you at our location in nearby Fort Collins, where quality counts.
Question? How can we help?
Welcome to Gilsdorf Garage
Gilsdorf Garage, Fort Collins Auto Repair, has been in business for over 50 years with the principles of honesty, integrity, and quality, guided by the ethics founded by Ed Gilsdorf in 1950 as Gilsdorf Service. Gilsdorf Service was located at the same location at 1111 W. Mulberry, Fort Collins, Colorado (Corner of Mulberry and Shields, just west of 7-11). Although our facility has changed with the times, our quality and ideals of doing business are constantly growing.


The latest trip for the Blackburn and Darwen Robins was the Division Two trophy quarter-final at Winsford.
Before I could collect the lads and lasses I had to get some quality building materials for a job that I was doing at home, so it was straight down to Thomco, who not only supplied me with the right stuff, but were also able to give me plenty of advice. Although Michelle and I had finished work at lunchtime, we couldn't set off until tea-time as Billy 'The Kid' and Jimmy 'Mad Dog' were at school. I had a bundle of work to do for the following Saturday's programme and I had a problem with my computer so my mate Seamus said that I could use his. When I saw the monitor, I couldn't believe my eyes.
After tea I picked up Michelle, Billy and Jimmy and we set off for poshest Cheshire. We made it to Winsford in plenty of time so Jimmy asked if we could stop at a newsagents for his 'Mag'. Now if you can remember, we played Winsford in the Vase last year and we had a problem with Jimmy not being able to reach the 'top-shelf'. On that occasion I had to get it for him-most embarrassing! Luckily for him, he's grown a few inches and was able to get his favourite mag. down himself, but when he got to the counter, the owner refused to sell it to him as he wasn't 18. Once again I had to 'do the honours'. There was an old lady at the counter who took one look at the 'publication' in my hand and launched an attack!
"You filthy pervert!" She shouted.
"But it's not mine Madam, it's his," I said pointing to an innocent looking Jimmy.
"You animal!" She screamed, continuing her verbal assault on me.
And with that, she whalloped me round the lug-hole with a rolled up copy of the Pensioners Voice! I made a hasty exit leaving the mag. on the counter and the old codger still ranting and raving behind me.
We made it to the ground with five minutes to spare and decided that a Bovril and a pie was more apt than a pint as it was freezing cold-and so was the pie! The game kicked off in front of a very sparse crowd, about a dozen of whom were from Harwood. It was a close game with very little to choose between the sides, but after about 30 minutes Winsford made the breakthrough with a Neil Kennedy own goal. In his determination to be the first to a right wing cross, he stretched for the ball with the intention of putting it out for a corner. With Sam Pope playing superbly well on the left wing we always looked capable of getting a goal ourselves but more often than not , we were stopped by the dreadful playing surface rather than the home defence.
Into the 2nd half we upped the tempo and it seemed only a matter of time before we equalised. 20 minutes from the end it came after Sam cut in from the wing, waltzed round a couple of defenders and leathered the ball goalwards. The keeper couldn't hold the shot and Paul Mashiter, who's on a great run of form at the moment, slotted home. Both sides went for the win and Bobby had to be alert on a couple of occasions to keep us in it. Seeing as I told the lads' parents that we'd be home by 10-30, and us Posties are up at 4-30, extra time is exactly what we didn't want. No matter which side was attacking at the end, we were pleading with them to stick it in the 'onion bag'. The full time whistle blew and the prospect of another 30 minutes in the sub-zero temperatures did not fill us with joy.
During the extra-time we heard differing stories of whether there would be penalties or a replay (just like the Nelson game), and after no further scoring. The Ref., linesmen, players and officials 'argued the toss' for the next 20 minutes while we almost froze to death. Despite the small attendance, the Ref. was given plenty of encouragement to 'bloody well get on wi' it'. Finally just before midnight, penalties were taken. Bob saved one of the five-rubbish Harris! While their keeper saved two. Winsford went on a lap of honour but before the players had left the field, the P.A. announced that there would be a replay-Hooray! The Harwood players went on a lap of honour! Although the Trophy is not the priority this season, whoever represents the club in the cup games, are really pulling out all the stops to win every game, home or away, Trophy, Cup or Vase. Well done everybody, you're a credit to Great Harwood Town F.C. and so are the loyal fans who travel to away games.
Set off for home after we'd all got in touch with our next of kin before they phoned the Missing Persons Bureau. On the way Billy spoke to his girlfriend on the phone.
"Ah, that's nice Billy, is that her 'pet-name'?
"NO WAY!" Retorted the aggrieved young lad.
Dropped everyone off, made myself something to eat, had a wash, brushed my teeth, went to bed for 10 minutes then got up for work!! If you missed it, you missed another great day out, and a game which they'll be talking about for years to come. Which team won the 2nd Division Trophy after 'losing' on penalties in the quarter-final? After the 3-1 win in the replay you've got to believe that our name is on the Trophy.
The latest trip for the famous Blackburn & Darwen Robins was the away game at Winsford United. Having already been there once this season, for the Division Two trophy game when we 'lost' on penalties, we didn't have to set off too early in order to find the ground. Jimmy 'Mad Dog' and Billy 'The Kid' Hughes, came round to my house and we picked up Big Dave outside the Rovers.
Set off for poshest Cheshire at 1-30 but not before we'd de-toured to Great Harwood where I got hold of some building supplies from the ever-reliable Thomco Building Supplies on Delph Lane.
Reached the outskirts of Winsford with plenty of time to spare so we decided to go for a pint. Seeing as Michelle wasn't with us, I was quite optimistic about getting served.
Blimey O'Reilly, it's usually the landlord who bars us!
Got to the ground and as we entered there was a double whammy of disappointment for Dave. Firstly it was a whopping £5 to get in, then, as anyone who's been to Winsford knows, the turnstiles are the narrowest in the league and Dave got wedged in! Luckily there were two turnstiles in operation, so as the fire brigade were cutting Dave out of one, the supporters were able to use the other.
We only just had time to put the flag up when a great shot by Foggy from the edge of the area gave us an early lead. With a strong wind behind us, we felt sure that we would be able to press home our advantage and have the game sewn up by half time. Not only did we fail miserably to finish the hosts off, they started to create the odd chance and half way through the first period, an unmarked Winsford player volleyed into the net from ten yards. Right on half time, the hosts right back, who'd had a good game overlapping down the right wing, fell down a hole, a-la-Sam Pope, and had to be carried form the field with what looked like tendon or ligament trouble. The poor chap was eventually taken to hospital in an ambulance.
The second half was even worse as both sides continued to struggle to put more than two passes together. Winsford created a few half chances which luckily for us, all went whizzing just wide. For the Robins, man-of-the-match Neil Zarac ran himself into the ground in an effort to secure all three points but in truth we deserved no more than one.
The most exciting thing to happen was a melee near the half way line when a Winsford goomer who had been fouling for the whole game, gave James Dean a belt. Deano did very well by not reacting but other players from both sides came rushing in and plenty of pushing and shoving was dished out. The ref. for some reason, felt it necessary to ask the liner what had happened, and then proceeded to send the wrong Winsford player off, although he was a dirty so and so as well. One of our substitutes, who shall remain nameless, expecting a similar red card, was already half way down the tunnel when the man in black sent Deano off!! Where do they get 'em?
After that the game petered out and the final whistle was a relief to the small band of Harwood supporters.
On the way out, Big Dave was verbally assaulted by the last known survivor from the Napoleonic wars. Dave mentioned something about senile dementia and the old goat went crackers! I can't repeat what he said but he put his bath chair into first gear and followed Dave into the car park. It was only the intervention of the guy's 97 year-old son which prevented a fight breaking out. And I thought that they were supposed to be posh down Winsford way.
On the way home Billy's phone was surprisingly quiet.
The second away trip of the season for the Blackburn and Darwen Robins was the Vase tie at Winsford.
Dave and I went down to your fantastic money saving Co op Superstore in Harwood to stock up on beer and we then went to Junction 4 to wait for the team coach. There we waited…and waited…and had just about given up when John Eastham turned up in his car to give us a lift-the coach apparently going on a tour of Lancashire to pick up the players.
The game began well for Winsford and it soon became obvious that they were a half decent side, knocking the ball about with confidence and using the width of the pitch to great effect. We seemed to have settled down when a defensive blunder let the home side in for number one. No names mentioned but Stevie mis-controlled it. Number two arrived when a clearance traveled about five yards before landing at the feet of a Winsford forward. Not wishing to 'grass' anyone up, I'll just give his first name, O.K. Riz?
Despite our best efforts in the second half, we couldn't get the goal we fought for and when someone left his marker for dead it was 3-0-John, we know it was you! The Robins really took the game to Winsford in the last 20 minutes and their 'keeper made two one-on-one saves from Chris, who also put a header wide from only a few yards. Sean mis-kicked from around ten yards out and the 'keeper, who ended up being Winsford's man of the match, made several fine saves.
Even so, it was as much Winsford taking their foot off the pedal as us playing great football, and overall we were beaten by the better side. Of the three main competitions, F.A. Cup, F.A. Vase and League, this was the least important and Winsford are as strong as any club entering the Vase this year, expect them to go all the way to Villa Park.

Ron Miscavige: A Selfish and Cruel Man
Director of Public Affairs: "Ron was the only staff member who was ever arrested."
Cathy Fraser has been a member of the religious order for close to 30 years. She has been Director of Public Affairs at Golden Era Productions for the last decade and knew Ron Miscavige for 25 years.
Cathy Fraser
As Director of Public Affairs for Golden Era Productions, I am responsible for interfacing with government agencies as part of my duties. As such I am intimately familiar with the following circumstances regarding Ron Miscavige.
Since the start of Golden Era Productions in 1978, Ron was the only staff member who was ever arrested. He is the only staff member who has ever been handcuffed by the police, thrown in the back of a police car and driven off to jail. When he was arrested, he was belligerent, condescending and arrogant to the police. This was after the police had followed him for five miles (sirens blaring which he chose to ignore), and after they finally got him to stop, at least three different drivers stopped to tell the police that Ron had nearly hit them. He had two passengers in his car—one was his wife (who told me she had told him to stop), and the other person was scared and shaking because he would not listen to her to slow down. He gave no care or concern for anyone else, which was typical of him.
He is the only staff member who has ever been handcuffed by the police, thrown in the back of a police car and driven off to jail.
After Ron was arrested, I also arranged attorneys for him so that he would not end up with a prison sentence. He screamed at me that the Church should pay for the attorneys. As it was not a Church matter, that could not be done. He finally hired the attorneys when it was clear he might have to serve a sentence. His attorneys persuaded the Court to not have him go to jail but to do community service instead. We arranged it so Ron could do his community service at Golden Era Productions as we were an approved group by the County of Riverside. Ron then actually tried to persuade us that he not do the community service. He tried all kinds of ways to get out of it, avoid it, get others to do it for him, tried to get me to lie and say he did it when he did not.
Ron would swear, be rude and obnoxious
to me and my staff.
At other times in my dealings with him, he was one of the rudest people I have ever known. I witnessed him several times when people were making an effort to go out of their way for him, and he would brush them off, say condescending things to them, be rough and abrupt and generally be as nasty as someone could be. Ron used to walk into my office any time he chose, no matter what else was happening, and demand to have my attention to get whatever he wanted.
Ron was selfish, cruel, a liar, despicable and the utterly worst person I have ever known.
Ron would swear, be rude and obnoxious to me and my staff. I found Ron's attitude shocking especially in light of the fact that he was the father of the leader of our religion, who is nothing like him. Ron was selfish, cruel, a liar, despicable and the utterly worst person I have ever known.

Директор закладу — Юрій Ткач.

Музейне зібрання

Розташований на території древнього княжого міста у пам'ятці архітектури 19 століття, він навіть зовні відповідає уявленню про музей як про місце, що несе на собі відбиток часу, відблиск історії та культури нашого народу. Вас надихнуть шедеври західноєвропейського та українського мистецтва, унікальна колекція козацько-старшинського роду Ґалаґанів з музейного зібрання, що налічує понад 9 тисяч творів образотворчого та декоративно-ужиткового мистецтва від 16 століття і до сьогодення, включаючи іконописну спадщину часів українського бароко, народні картини «Козак-Мамай», полотна голландських, фламандських, французьких, італійських митців.

Чільне місце в музейній колекції посідають твори іконопису, здебільшого українського, серед яких канонічний «Архистратиг Михаїл», колекція Богородичних ікон, самобутня народна ікона зі своєрідним трактуванням того чи іншого образу святого — покровителя, двобічна «Покрова Богородиці. Розп'яття».

Найбільшу частку музейної колекції складають твори українських корифеїв ХХ століття — М. Жука, М. Самокиша, С. Шишка, М. Глущенка, М. Дерегуса, Т. Яблонської, А. Коцки та багатьох інших.

Значну частину фондового зібрання складають твори декоративно-ужиткового мистецтва України, створені протягом майже двох століть. Аплікація, вишивка та розпис, вироби зі скла та порцеляни, кераміки та дерева представлені відомими іменами родини Саєнків, М. Тимченко, М. Примаченко, І. Апполонова, Г. Денисенка, А. Штепи та багатьох інших знаних майстрів.

Самобутньою є і колекція народної іграшки, що налічує понад 350 експонатів з дерева, глини, соломи та тіста, і є яскравим проявом національної культури.

Невеликою, але достатньо цікавою є колекція західноєвропейського живопису, зокрема творів італійських художників 17-18 століть. Голландський та фламандський живопис знайомить з творами батального та побутового жанру, різноманітними натюрмортами, полотнами на міфологічні та євангельські сюжети. Окрасою збірки, безумовно, є живописне полотно «Концерт» відомого голландського художника Гендрика Тербрюґена, датоване 1626 роком.

Мистецтво Франції 18-19 століть представлене іменами таких знаних майстрів як Юбер Робер, Жан-Луї-Ернест Мейссон'є, Ж. Трезер, Етьєн Моріс Фальконе, Франсуа Помпон.
