by Foundation Admin | Nov 3, 2012 | Events, Fall Gala, News |
The Dave Nee Foundation's 2012 Night of the Imperial Dragon was a huge success! Thank you for your participation and support!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many, our 7th Annual Gala, Night of the Imperial Dragon, held on November 2nd at Espace in New York, brought in nearly $200,000—money that will be used to help us expand Uncommon Counsel to up to twenty law schools in fifteen states, and continue our grant program to support our peer organizations working in this space.
We were amazed and delighted by the crowd that turned out—nearly 200 guests despite great personal and logistical challenges in the wake of Hurricane Sandy—to support our work and mission! Guests in attendance were treated to performances by stilt-walkers, contortionists, and ribbon dancers, generously donated by Phoenix Entertainment NYC. The Dream Team Band did an outstanding job as always, and left guests shouting for more even after playing two encores at the end of the evening. And the decadent cocktails and Dragon-themed dinner were enjoyed by all! Friends and family members unable to make the trip were in our thoughts as well.

Will HSAs Become the 401(k)s for Health Care Savings?
HSAs are gaining more acceptance as concerns about health care costs in retirement increase, and interestingly, they seem to be following a similar path as 401(k) plan growth.
By Rebecca Moore
Health savings accounts (HSAs) really got their start with the passage of the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003, says John Park, chief strategy officer at full-service consumer-driven health plan provider Alegeus, who is based in Walthan, Massachusetts.
HSAs are paired with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). "The idea was to drive some financial responsibility for individuals and to allow consumers to have a savings account to offset out-of-pocket costs," Park notes. He adds that HSAs have benefits unique to any other kind of tax-deferred accounts. They offer triple tax benefits—contributions reduce taxable income; earnings on the accounts build up tax-free; and distributions from the accounts, for qualified expenses, are not subject to taxation.
Park attributes the rise in adoption of HDHPs with HSAs to the employers' cost of health care. Employers can lower or maintain premiums by creating higher deductibles and increase premium cost sharing to employees. It promotes more financial responsibility but also creates the need to help consumers make better decisions.
The move to 401(k)s was similar—it put more financial responsibility on retirement plan participants and created the need to help them make better financial decisions.
Park says there are a lot of parallels in the adoption of HSAs and 401(k)s. Since introduction in 2003, HSAs hold more than 20% of market share. Similarly, it took some time for 401(k) plans to be adopted—although introduced as part of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in 1974, it took more than 10 years for 401(k)s to gain the same percentage of market share that HSAs have now.
In addition, 401(k)s were met with reluctance at first. Similarly, the retirement industry first saw HSAs as competition for savings dollars, according to Park, but as health care became a bigger part of the conversation about expenses in retirement, HSAs are now being thought of as a complementary savings vehicle.
As 401(k)s were increasingly adopted, more education was required for participants to understand them and to encourage participants to enroll. Similarly, employees generally don't understand the difference between an HSA and other health care savings vehicles such as flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), nor do they recognize the long-term savings value proposition of HSAs.
Finally, when 401(k)s were first adopted, many had no more than three investment vehicles offered to employees. Gene Lanzoni, assistant vice president, Group & Worksite Marketing – Thought Leadership at Guardian Life in New York City, notes there is still a very low use of investments in HSAs, but as usage grows it will be a struggle to get employees engaged and paying attention to asset allocation just as it has been with 401(k)s.
NEXT: Using retirement plan practices to encourage HSA use
Lanzoni says Guardian's "A Crack in the Foundation" study found that even though the number of employers offering HDHPs seems to be on the rise, three out of five employers don't offer an HSA alongside these benefits. Employers should realize the unintended consequences of moving to an HDHP without all pieces in place, he says. If employees cannot afford unexpected medical bills, they may put them on credit cards, tap into retirement savings or college education funds, or even forego care.
Communicating the tax benefits of HSAs could help increase employee adoption of them, Lanzoni suggests. But, he says communicating benefits to employees is a challenge. He suggests tailoring the education to different generations and focusing strongly on the real benefits of HSAs. HSAs can be a long-term savings vehicle for some. "HSAs being the 401(k) for health care is a generational issue—Millennials may need the savings for short-term expenses, but Baby Boomers could use them as retirement savings vehicles," he says.
As employers moved to 401(k) plans, they didn't just walk away from investing in employees' retirement, Park notes. Just as employers provide matching contributions to employee 401(k) deferrals, employers could seed and help fund HSAs. "Employees are less likely to adopt HSAs and contribute if the employer doesn't, the same as with 401(k)s," he says.
Park says Alegeus has seen a trend of employers tying contributions to HSAs to employee actions, such as participating in wellness programs.
Park believes, in next few years, about 20% of HSA assets will be in investment vehicles, and Alegeus is seeing employers trying to match investment options in HSAs to those in their 401(k)s. "It is nice for employees to have a single view and manage investments in same way," he says.
One other similarity HSAs have that 401(k)s had in their early years is the potential for growth. Park believes there will be a growth of 20% to 30% per year, and Lanzoni says there is still much opportunity for growth, especially among small employers.

Wow! What a difference two years makes. At the Range Beef Cow Symposium in 2003, we endeavored to address the topic "Traceback, Verification, and Animal Identification on the Ranch: Big Brother of Best Buddy?" On the very day of this presentation, December 9, 2005, a Holstein cow in the state of Washington was harvested and due to abnormalities observed in this cow, tissue samples were taken for further evaluation. Later that month, on December 23, 2003, it was announced that this cow tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). This event, along with associated policy from USDA, combined to rocket the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) forward. Correspondingly, programs have developed in the beef sector designed to verify, assure, and differentiate animals and products in the marketplace.
The purpose of this paper is not to reiterate all of the ramifications, producer attitudes or consumer feedback on the merits or challenges associated with is topic. Rather, it is our objective to simply "decode" the alphabet soup used in this arena. It is our supposition, that many cattle producers, academics and allied industry folks involved in the business lack understanding of many of the terms, programs, and purposes of certain acronyms that are being freely thrown around today.


Contrary to what your calendar may tell you, February is the longest month. It drags on and on like the ending of Lord of the Rings and simply refuses to make way for spring.
So, to pass time, I thought I'd do a small update about the plans for next year. As the writer behind the excellent Porsche 911 blog Teil der Machine has pointed out, it's been quite a while since this site has been updated anyway.
I'm not entirely sure about the latter, though. Once it nearly got me into a fisticuffs with a Berlin cab driver. Since I was in no state to fight anything else than a kebab, it would probably have been a true WW2 reenactment with the German walking over the Dane.
But I digress. Let's talk about plans for next year.
Since I bought my 911, I have been doing quite a few trackdays including laps on Circuit de la Sarthe and Spa Franchorchamps. I even took part in a very scary – and thus very fun – hill climb event. And it has been an utter catastrophe. As I was warned it was exactly the kind of slippery slope that would leave me wanting more and ensure a life of poverty.
Because now I'm going all the way. I'm taking my racing license end of March and plan to compete in the Danish Youngtimer Cup for cars 15+ years old. And, get a load of this, it will not be in the Porsche but most likely in a Mazda MX-5. This particular car is a right hander driver, so that should prove, uhm, interesting.
My ambitions? Don't be last in the series, and don't get lapped.
The last few years I had the engine, clutch and gearbox sorted out. I had a Carrera oil cooler installed, changed the exhaust and generally gave the car the overhaul it needed. At some point in time I will probably sharpen up the suspension, but there's no rush.
So next in line is the look. Right now she looks like an old banger. And I'm good with that, it's first and foremost a driver's car. What I really want is to put a duck tail on to give it some much needed high speed stability. But in my opinion duck tails don't work with the impact bumpers of the G-series.
A full backdate is rather expensive. Remember, this year all my income, and whatever coins I can find behind the sofa cushions, will go the noble gentlemen sport of racing. There is an alternative, GT racing manufactures back date kit that does not require any major metal work in the front end. But some very knowledgeable people have warned me that it's sort of like our current government: a sorry excuse for the real thing.
What I may do instead is a bit of heresy. I will keep the short hood front end of the G-series, but either change the bumper to a late RS model, or I will take my lead from David Andersons wonderful 911. The front end here has been custom crafted by Spectrum Panel & Paint and RJP Motorsport in Perth, Australia, end tucked in some 30 mm.
As for the back end, this is where some people will start carrying firewood to the stake, because I'm thinking about giving it a full backdate to F-series bumpers. It's not as irreversible a process as backdating the front end and who knows? The Frankencar may turn out to be a beauty.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Then please share them here.
Thanks for the link. I will definitely be following the renovation project on that blog.
still I'm of the believe that David's conversion is outstanding and something really special. However cost and logistics might be of concern from the European perspective. Are you aware of the panels offered by eb-motorsport.com for the small body SC RS type?
Yeah, I almost bought some 2nd hand ones last year. But I'm still not really keen on the rear end combination og a duck tail and the reflector panel. To me it just doesn't look right.
Having said that it's definitely a relatively cheap and easy way to get rid of those bumpers – and probably 40 kg. outside of the wheels which should make a noticeable difference.


Lisa Holmgren awoke in the middle of the night to the mournful lament of a train wailing in the distance. She realized sleepily that the sound had not been real. She had just been dreaming again about how, when she was just a child, she anxiously watched her father's train disappear across the horizon when he went off to the war and never came home. She sat up in bed and wiped the beads of sweat from her brow. It was a sweltering mid-summers night and the crickets were in the clutches of a chaotic serenade outside her bedroom window where the curtain fluttered occasionally under a light breeze.
She got out of bed and gazed out the window over the lonely farmers' fields stretching out to the stars, hundreds of bits of flame splattered across the pitch-black sky. She scrutinized her forearms under the starlight. The scars from the needles were starting to recede and her once-collapsed veins now looked almost robust and she could feel the blood pumping through them rhythmically. She had been clean for almost 4 months and the methadone calmed her. She looked down at the juniper bushes in the garden, closed her eyes and deeply inhaled their fragrant aroma. She wished her boyfriend was not away.
She heard the door to her bedroom slowly creak open and froze. Then the all-too-familiar deep breathing as the footsteps approached her from behind. She clenched her eyes shut. "No", she whimpered. "Please not tonight", she begged.
"Why haven't you done it yet…" he said, his breath colder than ice.
A few minutes later she stood in the doorway with the carving knife dangling from her hand. "Go inside", he said firmly and she felt a nudge at the small of her back. She approached the bed slowly and, when she was at its side, gently lifted the covers. She screamed in terror. An enormous snake was slowly uncoiling and sliding towards her, yellow eyes full of hatred and madness. "Kill it"!!! he shouted and she stabbed out as hard as she could and as many times as she could and fountains of blood splashed across her face and streamed down her nightdress. "Yes! Yes!" he cried, "You're doing it! Ah! Lisa! There is another one behind you"! She had slipped and fallen in the blood and the second snake towered over her and opened its jaws wide. Before it could swallow her, she stabbed and stabbed and stabbed until she passed out.
Prosecution: Isn't it true, Ms. Holmgren, that you are a drug addict?
Defence: Objection, negative toxicology reports have already been entered into evidence.
Prosecution [waving off the Judge's ruling]: Let me rephrase. Isn't it true that you have been a regular user of heroin for most of your adult life?
Prosecution: Ms. Holmgren… Are you… Are you sleeping? Members of the jury, Ms. Holmgren once again demonstrates her level of remorse by sleeping through her own murder trial!
Prosecution: So that's why you stabbed your 2 year-old son 37 times and your 5 year-old daughter 68 times!
Judge [roaring and wagging his finger at the Prosecution]: Sustained! You have already established for this court in exceptionally lurid and meticulous detail what this young woman did! Now, just stick to the questions!
Prosecution: Is it not true that your boyfriend didn't want a girlfriend with children and that he was threatening to leave you over the children?
Prosecution: Is it not true that you once left your children in your car for 4 hours while you went partying with your friends?
Prosecution: Is it not true that you once encouraged your daughter to smoke a cigarette?
Prosecution: Is it not true that you deliberately and wilfully went off your medication?
Ms. Holmgren, in all my years of judging, I don't think I have adjudicated a case as heart-wrenching as this one. Despite clear evidence that you suffer from acute schizophrenia, a jury of your peers has concluded that, at the time of the death of your children, you were both aware of what you were doing and aware that what you were doing was wrong. Accordingly, you stand convicted of the crime of second degree murder. As your counsel has undoubtedly advised you, I, as a judge, have no discretion regarding the sentence for this crime. Accordingly, and with a very heavy heart, I sentence you to life in prison with no eligibility of parole for 10 years. I hope, Ms. Holmgren, you find a way to overcome your problems and one day forgive yourself for the deaths of your children. If it makes any difference to you at all, I certainly do.
She heard the heavy steel door slam shut behind her and stared at the Spartan cell. It was 10 feet by 10 feet with a cot, a sink, a toilet and a reading desk. As a convicted child murderer, the authorities at the penitentiary had put her in solitary confinement for her own safety. She sat on the edge of the cot, absorbing the sheer emptiness of her new home.

Q: Highlight the searched text in UITableView using UISearchBar Using UISearchBar searching text in UITableView. I just want to know how to highlight searched text. Highlighting could be make text bold or change text color.
E.g. If I'm searching text "Stack" using UISearchBar in UITableView which contains a row with string "Stackoverflow", now my search result should appear this way "Stackoverflow".
Thanks in advance..
Happy coding..

A: Usually it's enough to filter cells in UITableView conforming your search term. Hope you understand how that could be arranged. If you want highlight search term in a cell, your cell needs to support such highlight, than you could highlight calling something like [mycell highlightText:searchBar.text]. Ready cells don't support such highlight, you need to build your custom cell which will do that.

As experienced wedding DJ's, we take extra care.
Planning that once in a lifetime special day?
Firstly – a huge congratulations to you. Recharge DJ's understands how special this day is. We understand that every wedding is different. With over 20 years experience, we can create the perfect atmosphere tailored just for you.
So many things to plan and not enough time?
Whilst we are more than happy to meet up with you to plan the ideal atmosphere, we understand that this might be difficult. Because of this, we offer the ability to either meet at a time and place to suit you, or to make those delicate arrangements by phone or email. This is your choice.
Our professional systems have the ability to play both video clips and slideshows. Got a special relative from out of town who can't make it? They could send us a "video message" that we can play for you during the night. Want to see the photos from the wedding ceremony? With co-ordination from your photographer, we can play a slideshow of your photos and still DJ simultaneously. You can also provide us with additional photos to showcase during the event (a photo of the proposal as an example). We can even play the video clips to your favourite songs. This added visual element is projected onto our purpose built DJ screen as part of our video package. We also have a wide range of optional extras including Smoke Machines, Dancing on Clouds, Up-lighting, larger sound systems for bigger numbers, additional dance-floor lighting, Karaoke, and more.
What music do we play?
We play whatever you want us to. We allow you to choose as much, or as little of the music as you like. You can give us a full list to play off, give us a bit of a guide as to what you like, or leave it totally in our very capable hands. Just remember that it is YOUR wedding and your DJ should do exactly what YOU want.
With our years of experience and hundreds of weddings, Recharge DJ's is also happy to give advice, or even to be used as a "sounding board" for ideas you may have. We can really help with things you might not have thought about. From layouts to speeches to ensuring the night runs smoothly, we can give as much or as little input as you like.
We are not members of any of the expensive Bridal clubs and Directories. Happy clients and keeping costs down are more important to us than fancy trophies and titles. Joining these clubs can easily cost over $1,000 per year EACH. By not joining these clubs, we can pass the savings on to you. This means you can get the same quality (sometimes better quality) without having to pay any extra.
Confused with all of the options DJ companies offer?
Recharge DJ's cut through the confusion of other wedding DJ's. Instead of bombarding you with ohms, RMS, multi-tri colours, scans, amplifiers and more, we'll simply discuss your plans, size of room & numbers of guests, and just give you recommendations on what you need. We'll create a package just for you. Alternatively, you can give us a budget, and we'll create a package to suit. Obviously we'll discuss this with you and give you the option on making alterations. Don't forget we offer a wide range of optional extras.
On a tight budget or don't want the fancy extras?

Just been watching my wife rehearse and perform her German Wheel act and i got to thinking about the movement and animation. The wheel weighs 100lbs so there's a LOT of momentum there, yes she's really strong and technically brilliant.
I created a DVD cover for a superb performer whose web site i also designed a couple of years back... wow that went quick... We kept to the same feel as the site so all sends the same classy, quirky and professional feel.
Here's the original site if you haven't already checked it out. Click here.
Havent blogged for a while... been very busy, travelling and working. But so many things have happened as well.
Also lots of drawing and animation on its way. Check the TwitPics for latest doodles.
I'll be posting more soon as the mad summer is mellowing.

While I expected one of the plot twists in the film (making it somewhat predictable), I didn't see a second one that blindsided me at the end of the film and made for a nice surprise. Atomic Blonde had good flow and pacing and just the right amount of action so it didn't go over the top.

One of the problems with suddenly deciding to start a blog after you've collected months of experiences and content is that you have to write about everything in past tense. Ideally I would have liked to share my entry to the Wired Chevy Volt Video contest, and my excitement in winning in a following post – but since they've all since happened ~ I'll have to start with my upcoming trip to Detroit.
One comment I hear far too often is that Volt followers think General Motors is asleep at the marketing wheel and not really hitting their target demographic for the Chevy Volt. Generally I've withheld comment with regards to rebutting those statements – but this event being far enough in the past I feel comfortable writing about it now without stepping on anyone's sensibilities or good faith.
It's been 7 months since I actually went to the LA Auto Show to see the Volt, so this is a bit of delayed Electric Car blogging, but here it is nonetheless!
Just for fun, I found a Chevrolet Volt Coloring Page offered to grade school students. I borrowed some markers - and a couple hours finished this masterpiece!

2020 underscored the importance of accessible land, healthy waters
Bynikholas
Jan 10, 2021 accessible, healthy, importance, land, underscored, waters
Negative social effects, too, because close contact with someone infected with COVID-19 could lead to anything from something totally harmless to something deadly. As a result, closures, cancellations and a great deal of social distancing meant that many of the things that give our lives meaning were off-limits, often not by our own choice.
One of the common observations in Minnesota and elsewhere in the country as we slogged through a difficult year was that people were escaping to the outdoors. It was manifest in increases in fishing and hunting license sales, camping, hiking, on-the-water recreation and Nature-related activities, to name some of the most obvious. This is almost certain to remain true during the winter ahead, as the pandemic continues and the need for caution remains.
The reasons for the spike in outdoor activity are two-fold. For one, these activities could be pursued with social distancing and comparative safety. I suspect also that these pursuits, more than some, have rejuvenating value beyond merely being ways to pass the time.
I remember from college years long ago a familiar poster that hung in many dormitory rooms, featuring 19th century naturalist and writer Henry David Thoreau. He wrote in the mid-1800's—quoted on these posters—that "In wildness is the preservation of the world." For us, now, it could be said that by spending time in the outdoors we are preserving our sanity, giving ourselves respite from the grief and bad news that have become part of a daily news diet that can be poisonous if we don't have an antidote.
Thoreau spoke of wildness, not wilderness. To me, as I read his words, I find him speaking of the importance of contrast between everyday life—with its pressures and obligations—and the rejuvenation that can be found in pursuits in the outdoors. In our world—so civilized, and so different from his world more than a century and a half ago—we do not necessarily need to be in true wilderness to experience this rejuvenation.
But we do need places where the forces of Nature are present. No one feels this more keenly than those who hunt and fish. There is a place for the hunting preserve, the "game farm" as it once was more appropriately called, where you can pay for the opportunity to shoot a pheasant or a raised mallard; or even a whitetail deer behind a fence. But it would be a surprise to me if most who have hunted truly wild game did not prefer pursuit of such creatures in their wild and natural habitat.
Anglers are more accustomed to artificial propagation being a part of their sport. The stocking of young walleyes, muskies or trout where natural reproduction cannot entirely sustain a population is common. Such fish hopefully grow to catchable size in sufficient numbers to support the fishery. Despite a hatchery origin, they are caught under natural circumstances, not under tame conditions like the "trout pond" at an outdoor sports show. It may not even be poor fish habitat, but rather the amount of angling pressure, that dictates supplemental stocking. Nonetheless, many—in their heart of hearts—might admit they find it especially satisfying to catch fish that are the product of a lake, river or stream that sustains fish on its own.
Whether the outdoor activity is hunting, angling, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing or some other outdoors pursuit, the common denominator is a need for places to take part in them. With limited exceptions, Minnesotans do not generally pursue these activities on their own lands. We depend on public access, whether it be on lands owned by government agencies—which really means lands owned by all the state's citizens—or on private lands where there are public access agreements.
Minnesota has an enviable record in providing good public access to our lakes and waterways. Likewise, we have state Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) to provide public hunting opportunities and other recreation year-round. We have state parks, Scenic and Natural Areas (SNAs), state forests, and—in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service—National Wildlife Refuges, and Waterfowl Production Areas open to hunting and other outdoor recreations.
But there are some clouds on the horizon, too. The backbone of the best Minnesota upland bird hunting over the last generation has been the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), a federal program to take marginal agricultural land out of production, with soil and water conservation benefits, and—not least—benefits to game and nongame wildlife, including the hugely popular ring-necked pheasant. But farmers' acres enrolled in CRP have dropped by about one-third in the past two decades, due in part to reduced incentives for conservation practices that benefit wildlife. Hunting success has fallen with it. Additional financing in the next federal farm bill would be welcomed to rectify this.
Federal Clean Water Act regulations were recently rewritten, and became final last June. These new regulations treat wetlands, streams and other bodies of water as separate from one another, even though they are connected, thereby removing them from federal oversight, and leaving it to states and local units of government—with a resulting patchwork of rules—to regulate such things as wetland drainage and water pollution. Loss of wetlands means a loss of wildlife habitat and recreational opportunity. Lack of uniform clean water standards puts the health of our lakes and rivers at risk, not to mention human health from contaminated groundwater from inadequately regulated agricultural and industrial practices that impact our waters.
There is also some hostility to public land ownership in Minnesota, most evident in rural areas. County boards have blocked approval of sales by willing private landowners to—for example—the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, acquisitions for wildlife habitat and expanded public recreation opportunities. Loss of tax property revenue has been the most common excuse, even though there is a mechanism to replace potential local revenue loss through a payment-in-lieu-of-tax (PILT) program. Actions like this mean that a growing Minnesota population could miss out on the potential for even greater outdoor recreation opportunities.
Minnesotans are blessed with outdoor recreation opportunities and access that would be the envy of citizens in many parts of the country. It's a blessing, especially in these extraordinary times. But that doesn't mean we should let our guard down, or miss opportunities to make things even better.

In due time, Mr. Micawber's petition was ripe for hearing; and that gentleman was ordered to be discharged under the Act, to my great joy. His creditors were not implacable; and Mrs. Micawber informed me that even the revengeful boot-maker had declared in open court that he bore him no malice, but that when money was owing to him he liked to be paid. He said he thought it was human nature.
Mr Micawber returned to the King's Bench when his case was over, as some fees were to be settled, and some formalities observed, before he could be actually released. The club received him with transport, and held an harmonic meeting that evening in his honour; while Mrs. Micawber and I had a lamb's fry in private, surrounded by the sleeping family.
'Are they dead, ma'am?' I inquired, after drinking the toast in a wine-glass.
Mrs. Micawber shook her head, and dropped a pious tear upon the twin who happened to be in hand.
I said I was sure of that.


In Africa, we often talk about the opportunities offered by "leapfrog", these technological leaps that will allow the continent to develop more rapidly by learning from the experiences of other countries and by adopting new technologies more quickly. But if there is one step that Africa will not be able to skip, it is infrastructure. Because, despite its openness to the outside world, with a coastline oriented towards the export of raw materials to industrialized countries, the continent remains the most marginal region in world trade… and the least integrated within its own borders, with inter-African trade barely exceeding 13% of sub-Saharan Africa's total foreign trade.
It is estimated that the "gap" in terms of infrastructure investment in Africa stands between $130 billion and $170 billion per year. Filling it would allow an annual increase of 2.6% in average per capita income, according to the World Bank – a very rapid jump in growth. Access to electricity, that only 43% of households have access to, is at the top of the list, along with access to drinking water and transport infrastructure. Connecting cities and regions by road, rail and air is no longer just a matter of necessity. Amplified by rapid urbanization, these needs also represent enormous opportunities, which contribute to making Africa one of the last frontiers of growth in the world.
A global awareness happened in the 2000s. Responses commensurate with the challenges were sought. The Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (NEPAD-IPPF) was launched in 2005 to support regional projects. Fueled by several donor countries, this fund has made it possible to complete the financing of 30 projects, totalling $24 billion. Building on this success, Africa decided to go further in 2012 with its Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), launched at the initiative of the African Union Commission (AU), NEPAD, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the regional economic communities. In view of the diversity of national, regional and international initiatives, synergy between the AU Commission and the regional economic communities is central.
Today, through the "5% Agenda", we want to mobilize a gigantic and almost "natural" source of financing: African pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. We estimate that African institutional investors hold more than $1.1 trillion. For the time being, these funds are invested in ultra-secure assets such as US government bonds or, ironically enough, European roads and airports.
How can we expect foreign investors to come to invest in us if we do not invest ourselves in our future? We suggest that these African pension funds and sovereign wealth funds invest at least 5% of their assets under management to close the infrastructure financing gap in Africa. That would be about $55 billion. Today, with the establishment in the United States of the Development Finance Corporation – whose objective is to de-risk the financing of institutional investors, particularly towards Africa – Africa must seize the opportunity to lead the way. This is why an African Infrastructure Guarantee Facility (AIGM) is being developed with the African Development Bank (AfDB). As far as infrastructure is concerned, we are not advocating for a leapfrog, but for a "big push"!
High-speed rail has made significant inroads across the continent. A 300 km line between Tangier and Casablanca was inaugurated in Morocco in November 2018 and the journey now takes two hours instead of six, with only a moderate increase in ticket price. Since 2016, the 200 km journey from Abuja to Kaduna in Northern Nigeria can be completed in one hour. Other routes are now being planned for example between Kaduna and Kano or Kano and Lagos. While economic gains are expected, social and political impact will also be visible. Via these infrastructure developments, inequalities between northern regions that have historically been perceived as neglected and oil-rich southern areas will be reduced.
The Gautrain, which was launched in 2010 between Johannesburg International Airport and Pretoria is another example of dynamism in that sector. This high-speed line, which raised some controversy at its announcement now carries 100 000 passengers a day. It has strongly reduced daily traffic jams in Gauteng province, the industrial heart of South Africa.
Africa's economic integration depends first and foremost on its transport infrastructure, which is still influenced by the planning policies of the colonial era. There are too few highways between countries and too few trains, out of Africa's 90,000 km of rail network, to cross borders. The network linking Uganda to Tanzania, Ethiopia to Djibouti or South Africa to Zimbabwe remains the exception rather than the rule. Entering the 21st century, railway use remains focused on the transport of goods and raw materials between the coast and the hinterland as was the case decades ago. This situation must change, so that Africa can finally trade internally on a larger scale.
The African Integrated High Speed Railway Network (AIHSRN), one of the flagship projects of the African Union's Agenda 2063, is one step in the right direction. The modernisation and extension of rail networks will not be possible without the use of technologies, a key element of modern "intelligent" transport. Africa has already demonstrated a spectacular ability to "leapfrog" in the digital sector as proven by the number of mobile phone users and mobile banking customers. It could be the same in railways, where the continent would directly move on to the use of advanced technologies in transportation.
This week's first African Digital Rail Summit in Cape Town, organized by NEPAD and the International Union of Railways (IUC), identified major projects, suggested a few steps for a way forward and revitalized the dynamic in the African Union of Railways (UAC).
While the announcement of the resignation of American Jim Yong Kim from the World Bank presidency on Monday, January 7, took everyone by surprise, the resulting debate remained unsurprising. Very quickly, rumours began to circulate about his potential successor, with the usual share of hypotheses, sometimes serious, often extravagant. However, these hypotheses all had one thing in common: the American nationality of the candidates. Indeed, it is a well-known unwritten rule that the President of the World Bank must be an American. A tradition that reflected the world of the 20th century but is a distorting mirror of the realities of the 21st century.
How many certainties have been turned upside down in just under two decades! Asia has emerged as a new centre of the world economy, with China as the engine of growth. Beijing has also set itself up as an alternative to a breathless American order, where a certain "complicity diplomacy" – to use the words of French researcher Bertrand Badie – continued to keep the countries of the South out of the world's management board. For its part, Africa is now the reservoir of global growth and the demographic giant of tomorrow. At the same time, the scourge of populism has proliferated in many countries around the world. With peoples blaming globalization for all evils, international institutions based on international cooperation and multilateralism are now exposed to many criticisms.
This geopolitical restructuring was logically accompanied by a crisis of legitimacy of the World Bank. Once an essential development institution, it is now experiencing a relative decline due to a combination of factors. First, access to financial markets has increased significantly in recent years for developing countries, offering them greater diversity in their sources of financing. During the same period, an increasing rejection of the Washington consensus took hold among elites and populations in developing countries, but also in developed countries, putting pressure on institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which had never been so contested before.
In addition, and for the first time, the Americans have elected a president who openly criticizes multilateral institutions, advocating economic nationalism that is out of step with the pace of current globalization. In this context, under what pretext can we still accept that the President of the World Bank must necessarily be an American? Far be it from me to believe that no American has the right profile for the position, but I plead for an open competition where applications from all nationalities must be taken into account. What credibility can an international institution promoting good governance and transparency have with an opaque and unfair recruitment procedure? The World Bank must change the way its President is recruited if it is to maintain its appeal and credibility.
Because beyond the technical dimension of the post, the role of the President of the World Bank – who has the status of a quasi-Head of State – is eminently political. That is why I believe it is time for the World Bank to be led by someone from the African continent. Of all the World Bank's fields of action, Africa is the one where the stakes are the highest: investment in infrastructure, poverty reduction, agricultural transformation, access to energy, rapid urbanization, human capital development… Not to mention the main challenge of this century, climate change, which is already affecting many African countries.
Investing in these countries and driving bold reforms requires a relationship of trust, which must now be rebuilt to break the image of arrogance that World Bank teams have sometimes sent back to their interlocutors. An African will be in a better position to encourage governments of developing countries to fight corruption or better manage their public debts without being accused of imperialism or neo-colonialism.
Choosing a candidate from a Southern country in a historically Northern institution also sends a strong message for a more balanced globalization, where each country can have a voice that counts on world affairs. Appointing an African to head the World Bank means recognizing the emergence of new powers in globalization and the need to address new missions such as safeguarding global public goods and conserving biodiversity. To fully enter the 21st century, the World Bank actually has no choice but to put an end to 75 years of "America First" and finally inaugurate the era of "World First"!
This is what is said by 37 experts from 16 countries who have addressed this very concrete question: what healthy diets can be derived from sustainable agriculture? Their responses, with numerical targets around the world, represent a first. They can be found in the report on food, the planet and health of the commission formed by the NGO EAT Forum and the British medical journal The Lancet.
A healthy diet for humans and sustainable for the planet, according to the report, includes half of fruit and vegetables, followed by cereals and pulses (lentils, beans, nuts, pistachios, etc.) and between 0 and 186 grams of meat per day. The document has already been released in Australia, the United States and Indonesia, where it has been widely reported. It is now being launched in Africa, on the sidelines of the 32nd African Union Summit, in partnership with the NEPAD Agency.
The challenges remain daunting, depending on the context of each region of the world. In Africa, the picture is mixed. As many as 59 million children suffer from chronic malnutrition, while 9 million are overweight. The Sahel, the Great Lakes and Madagascar remain the most food insecure regions. At the same time, diseases from rich countries are spreading as a result of urbanization, the rise of the middle classes and changes in eating habits. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer are on the rise.
Good news, however, is that Africa is one of the few regions in the world, according to the EAT Lancet report, where vegetable consumption is higher than the recommended level and animal protein consumption is lower than the maximum desirable. From Egypt to South Africa and Rwanda, cereals and vegetable proteins from beans, peas, beans and other dried vegetables are already used in daily dishes.
No one is fully aware of this yet, but on the food level, "leapfrogging" is possible on the continent. This jump has already been observed in telecommunications. The expansion of mobile telephony has taken place without the stage of the generalization of fixed lines, as in industrialized countries. By adapting its consumption and agriculture to the climate now, the continent could skip another important step: that of industrial agri-food in the countries of the North, with its harmful effects on health and the environment.
It will be possible, concludes the EAT Lancet report, to feed the planet without damaging the climate under several conditions. The consumption of vegetable protein must increase everywhere, to see the share of animal protein decrease. It will also be necessary to reduce by half the volumes of food thrown away every day in the world, as well as the harvests lost – a crucial problem in Africa. The recipe is now in our hands. It is up to each of us to set an example.

Finding out that your train isn't going to turn up when you expect it to is frustrating. The process for getting a refund for a delayed or cancelled train depends on the scheme you're claiming under. Find out what the rules say and whether you can claim from your credit card company.
If your train journey has been cancelled or delayed, you may be eligible for compensation. There are two different schemes that you may be able to claim compensation under. One is called 'delay repay' and the other is compensation under normal conditions of carriage.
Delay repay: This let you claim 100% of the cost of your single ticket if you arrive at your destination more than one hour late. If you're between 30 minutes and an hour late, you'll be able to claim 50% of the cost of a single ticket. If you're more than two hours late you'll be able to claim 100% of the cost of the return journey. It doesn't matter why you're claiming a refund – the train company has to pay up. The only exception is if it's due to planned engineering work.
SAVVY TIP: You're able to claim 25% of the cost of the train journey if the train is more than 15 minutes late and you're travelling on Govia (Great Northern) Thameslink or Southern trains. In the future, as franchises are replaced or as the government is able to do a deal with individual train companies more companies will offer compensation for delays of more than 15 minutes.
Compensation under 'conditions of carriage'. Here you normally have to be delayed by at least 30 minutes to qualify for compensation. The amount of compensation you'll get may vary between train companies. You can't normally claim for delays if it is caused by things such as vandalism, terrorism, someone trespassing on the line or severe weather as well as planned engineering works.
If your train company decides to run an emergency timetable, the delay to your journey is based on the emergency timetable, not the time your train would have arrived if a normal timetable was running.
an e-voucher if you have an online account.
SAVVY TIP: As I write this least one train company couldn't give refunds onto MasterCard cards, only Visa debit or credit cards.
How do you claim a refund?
The key part is to make sure you claim your refund within 28 days of completing your journey. If you miss this deadline, you won't be entitled to compensation.
SAVVY TIP: As I write this, two train companies (C2C and Virgin West Coast) do automatic delay repay refunds for Advance tickets, which means you don't have to claim the refund yourself. As long as you've registered your card details with them and they have contact details for you, the payment will be made automatically.
If the train company has signed up to Delay Repay, there will be information about how to claim on their website.
Here are the links to the claim section of the websites of train companies signed up to Delay Repay. Unless I've said differently, all companies will pay out if you're delayed by more than 30 minutes.
C2C If you have a C2C Smartcard, you'll automatically get compensation if your train is delayed by more than two minutes. The website doesn't say how quickly you'll receive your compensation if you're not using the automatic claim facility.
