Conservation in the Horn of Africa
Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa
Location: Horn of Africa
Project Manager: Martha Fischer
Species : Grevy's zebra, mountain nyala, Speke's gazelle, Ethiopian wolf, black rhino
Saving Hooves
The WildCare Institute Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa was established to provide in situ and ex situ conservation support for wildlife of the Horn of Africa. The Saint Louis Zoo has been involved in cooperative ex situ conservation, research and education programs for Horn of Africa wildlife for decades. In recent years, our support has evolved to include in situ conservation initiatives in this region and has benefited many species, including the Center's flagship species, the critically endangered Grevy's zebra. The Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa, in close cooperation with its partners, is currently taking concrete steps that will secure viable wild populations of Grevy's zebra. Likewise, Center activities are addressing similar critical conservation concerns of other unique species, such as the mountain nyala, Speke's gazelle, Somali wild ass, Ethiopian wolf, African elephant, hirola, black rhino and other Horn of Africa wildlife.
The Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa is playing a key role in sustaining critically endangered wild species and habitats found in this unique and delicate arid region. By supporting community-based coalitions and actively establishing a variety of conservation, research and education programs, this Center is striking a lasting balance between the needs of community members and the imperiled existence of several rare species.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums' 2012 International Conservation Award went to the Zoo and its partners for the "Grevy's Zebra Trust and AZA: A Model of Collaborative Endangered Species Conservation Program." This award recognizes exceptional efforts toward habitat preservation, species restoration, and support of biodiversity in the wild.
A Shared Purpose
In recent years, the countries in the Horn of Africa have endured enormous hardships from drought, famine and political turmoil, and outside assistance is often needed to nurture and grow their fledgling conservation efforts. The Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa supports these efforts by linking dedicated conservationists at zoos with those in the field and fostering partnerships to provide long-term support to wildlife programs in Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti.
Grevy's Zebra Trust
The largest of all wild equids, the Grevy's zebra, is now considered critically endangered across its range, with less than 150 in Ethiopia and the remainder, perhaps 2000, in northern Kenya. Grevy's zebras are distinguished from other zebras by the intricate pattern of stripes on their skins. Unfortunately this same trait made Grevy's zebra highly prized by trophy hunters in the past; thankfully, such trophy hunting has been outlawed for decades, but illegal poaching for food and medicinal purposes has continued to drive this species toward the precipice of extinction. The process has been accelerated by critical range reduction and competition over scarce resources accompanied by an unprecedented influx of humans and their domestic livestock. These factors have combined to produce a devastating depopulation of this distinctive species, an alarming decline estimated to be as much as 85 percent over the last three decades.
With less than a half of a percent of the Grevy's zebra range falling within official national parks and protected areas, this species' survival depends heavily upon the attitudes and engagement of people in community areas. Toward this end, the Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa supports the Grevy's Zebra Trust, an independent wildlife conservation organization established to address the urgent need to conserve Grevy's zebra in the community rangelands of Ethiopia and Kenya. The Grevy's Zebra Trust is working holistically to secure critical resources and safeguard this species from extinction across its range by engaging communities in the protection and monitoring of Grevy's zebra. Through the Grevy's Zebra Trust, the Center supports community conservation and education programs in both Ethiopia and Kenya. One such program, the Grevy's Zebra Scout Program, supports a number of women and men from Kenyan communities to participate as Grevy's Zebra Scouts, observing and recording the movements and activities of nearby groups of zebras. This successful program provides the benefit of equal-opportunity employment in the participating communities, a direct and tangible community incentive to support conservation activities. Since the inception of this program, the Scouts have served as advocates for Grevy's zebras and for conservation. As a direct result of this program, conducted in tandem with a community awareness campaign, the tolerance of Grevy's zebra within the vicinity of community livestock has significantly increased and the herdsmen now allow the zebras to share the limited grazing and water resources with their livestock.

The Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa also supports the Northern Rangelands Trust, a community-led initiative that forms a true union of Kenyan communities through field conservation and education programs. Residents of Kalama, one of the fifteen Northern Rangelands Trust communities, have already stepped forward to manage their land and work with Northern Rangelands Trust, as well as the Saint Louis Zoo and its partners, to develop a sustainable, self-sufficient conservation strategy for their community. Cooperative multi-community habitat restoration programs, coupled with community-led grazing plans, are proving to be successful within the Northern Rangelands Trust communities, re-establishing important wildlife-friendly areas and historical migratory corridors for several species.
Follow Northern Rangelands Trust on Facebook.
Creating Rhino Sanctuary
This Center is also supporting black rhino conservation. In the wild, large scale poaching of the now critically endangered black rhino has resulted in a dramatic 96 percent decline from 65,000 individuals in 1970 to just 2,300 in 1993. Intensive anti-poaching efforts have had encouraging results since 1996, and the population now numbers between 5,042-5,455 in the wild.
In 2016, the Center began providing funding to Northern Rangelands Trust to create a rhino sanctuary through the Sera Community Conservancy, the first community conservancy in Africa to own and operate a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of the critically endangered black rhino. Thanks to Center support in 2016, this sanctuary installed new waterholes for the rhinos and solar-powered generators that pump. The sanctuary also offered sophisticated training to guides and rangers to track rhinos and has provided state-of-the-art protection for 12 black rhinos. Northern Rangelands Trust brought the rhino back to its natural habitat in northern Kenya after 30 years' absence.
The center also supports anti-poaching teams in northern Kenya, where in 2015, 10 black rhinos were reintroduced.
Saving the Mountain Nyala
Emerging conservation programs for other species, such as the mountain nyala, are being given important ground-floor support by the Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa. The mountain nyala is a critically endangered species endemic to Ethiopia. Little is known of this species, and research and education projects supported by the Center and several partners through MELCA Ethiopia, Bale Beauty Nature Club and WildCODE, three emerging conservation organizations in Ethiopia, will help lay a foundation for a conservation plan to ensure a future for this incredible species, a true Ethiopian treasure.
The Center for Conservation in the Horn of Africa is thus helping to raise awareness and promote a true international conservation alliance for the wildlife of the Horn of Africa - a region that is high on alarming conservation needs, but to date, short on significant conservation investment.

First Rhino Birth in 25 Years
On March 11, 2016 a female black rhino in Sera Community Rhino Sanctuary, Kenya, gave birth to a healthy calf, and made history. This is the first black rhino to be born on community land in northern Kenya for over 25 years, and demonstrates the strength of the growing community conservation movement. The calf also represents the community's hopes that the Sanctuary can nurture a viable breeding population of black rhino; that could eventually help repopulate other community conservation areas.

Climate Change Impact
Grevy's zebras in the Horn of Africa have been challenged by increasingly harsh droughts due to climate change. "Community elders have observed environmental changes characterized by fewer grasses, less water, and bare ground. Grevy's Zebra Trust is working with West Gate Community Conservancy to rehabilitate degraded land, which will have a positive impact, since land degradation is one of the main causes of global climate change." Grevy's Zebra Trust in 2011 managed to give these endangered zebras adequate access to water despite drought conditions.

Steve Kerr to miss Game 4, leaves open possibility he misses rest of season (VIDEO)
Jacob C. Palmer
Apr. 23, 2017 12:00 a.m.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Complications from back surgery have been dogging Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr for a year and a half. He's coped with regular migraines and nausea after spinal fluid leaked during a procedure in the 2015 offseason.
About five days ago, the pain he's been living with became more acute and harder to manage. It forced him out of Game 3 of the Dubs' first-round matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers and it will keep him out of Game 4 today, Kerr said Sunday.
The feeling is different than what kept him out of the Warriors' first 43 games of the 2015-16 season.
"It's discomfort and pain: It's no fun," he said. "I can tell you if you're listening out there, and you have a back problem, stay away from surgery. I say that from the bottom of my heart. Rehab, rehab, rehab. Don't let anyone get in there."

And Kerr will keep himself away from the sideline as long as it takes for him to fully recover. He's hoping to have a better idea about his status within the next week or two. But he said it was a possibility he could miss the rest of the postseason.
"This is not going to be a case where I'm coaching one night, not coaching the next," Kerr said. "I'm not going to do that to our team, our staff."
very real possibility Steve Kerr sits out the rest of the playoffs. pic.twitter.com/pSnRNUFOCj
That leaves the head coach's seat to lead assistant Mike Brown, who Kerr endorsed as having his full confidence in that role.
The Warriors knew this was a possibility when they hired Brown before this season to replace Luke Walton, who previously replaced Kerr when he missed the beginning of the Warriors' 73-win run. That's why they targeted a guy with experience coaching deep into the playoffs.
Since he was ruled out on Saturday, the team has been consistent with its message: Kerr and his staff have established a culture that's bigger than the head coach.
"I was on my couch in my room, telling my son we should put so-and-so in right now. And that guy was going to the table," Kerr said. "Mike and I are thinking along the same lines, the whole staff is."
the #Warriors' consistent message on this: we established a culture for a reason and it's bigger than who's acting as head coach. pic.twitter.com/778lNwWfHU
And, since it is this Warriors group we're talking about, of course there was an inside joke that somehow emerged. After beating the Blazers, Stephen Curry told ESPN that he was giving the game ball to Kerr, who Curry claimed gave a "win it for the Gipper" speech. In reality, that was the opposite of Kerr's message to the team.
"I just talked to the team, I said, 'Look, it's the same game, it's the same thing, you guys know what to do. This is not about whether I'm out there or not, let's go about our game plan," Kerr explained. "Steph decided to have a little fun with that and basically flipped the story around."
the #Warriors' ability to joke about almost anything is pretty remarkable. pic.twitter.com/KbRJAtty3R
Golden State will look to sweep its first round opponent today. If the Warriors are successful, it would likely buy the team more time for Kerr — and Kevin Durant, Matt Barnes and Shaun Livingston — to recover and possibly rejoin the group as it is going to take some time for the Los Angeles Clippers or Utah Jazz to advance. (All of those players remain questionable to return to action.)
BONUS MIKE BROWN JOKE
(A new, favorite recurring segment.)
when it comes to getting these jokes off, Mike Brown is unstoppable. #Warriors pic.twitter.com/AT3kXIdsDY
When asked if his day-to-day has changed since taking over as acting head coach, Mike Brown dropped his third joke in as many group interviews.
"I really wanted to go to Starbucks right now," he said. "… You guys kind of screwed up my routine of getting a coffee, or, actually, a caramel mocha. That's about it."

Our lab undertakes research on adaptation of organisms (particularly invertebrates) to environmental stresses including climate change and chemical pollutants, using field sites in the Victorian mountains, in tropical rainforests and in wetlands around Melbourne. We also develop integrated pest control options, investigate how landscape changes can be harnessed to provide pest control services, contribute to novel approaches for suppressing dengue mosquito vectors, and examine new ways to predict species distribution shifts under climate change.
Applied – to develop better ways of sustainably controlling pest species important from an agricultural perspective.
We believe research should be open and accessible to all wherever possible.
This is an ongoing project, please check back for new additions as we compile and share our datasets.

Rujiporn is a population geneticist whose main interest is in the genetic management of rare species. She completed a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in 2009 at Murdoch University. Working with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (Western Australia), her honours project was aimed to understand reproduction biology, mating system and pollen dispersal of Banksia nivea spp. uliginosa in the fragmented Busselton ironstone community. While she was undertaking her honours, she was also involved in a similar project for Calothamnus quadrifidus. She then worked as a Phytophthora research scientist in the same department, conducting a new phosphite application field experiment and detecting Phytophthora cinnamomic in suspected areas such as national parks.
Rujiporn developed an interest in conservation genetics and pursued a PhD at the University of Western Australia. Her PhD, which was completed in 2016, investigated genetic consequences of population mixing in translocations of burrowing bettongs and island dibblers as well as population structure and dispersal of mainland dibblers. The focuses of this project were on short- and long-term effects of admixture, factors influencing the genetic contributions of parental lineages and how population structure and dispersal patterns can be used in founder selection.

James researches better approaches to forecast and manage risk surrounding outbreaks of agricultural invertebrate pests. Part of this work aims to address the increasing problem of pesticide resistance in Australia, whereby a combination of resistance surveillance, novel genetic techniques, and predictive modelling are used to develop management strategies. He is interested in using the latest digital resources (e.g. satellite based climatic and land-usage data) and analysis methods that incorporate mechanistic processes to better predict pest dynamics so that impacts can be anticipated and minimised.
In 2016 James was jointly awarded a PhD at the University of Melbourne and Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam) under the supervision of Michael Kearney and Bas Kooijman.
James is currently involved with research projects on some important species of aphids and mites, aiming to develop better management practices that utilise a variety of control strategies, in the face of increasing chemical resistance problems.James also is applying modern data sets and analysis techniques to better assess risks of biosecurity threats to agriculture, which not only includes novel species, but novel biotypes (i.e. new genes that occur overseas but not in domestic varieties).

I am a master student from Berlin/Germany and joined the Hoffmann lab for 6 months to complete an internship as part of my masters program at the Freie Universität Berlin. I obtained my bachelor degree in biology 2016 and worked with a variety of insects, including flies, wasps, termites and different species of beetles. During my final bachelor project, supervised by Prof. Jens Rolff, I investigated antimicrobial peptides in the immune system of T. molitor respectively the ability of bacteria to evolve resistances against these substances. Further I also studied immune responses of T. molitor during infections with the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana. During my stay with PEARG I gained skills in the maintenance of Mosquito colonies, artificial blood feeding methods as well as DNA analyses.
I am currently working on the impact of non-human blood types (e.g pig and sheep) on Ae. aegypti and its Wolbachia infection.

I received my PhD many years ago at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School with a Drosophila evolutionary geneticist, Costas Kastritsis who had studied inversion polymorphisms with T. Dobzhansky. I then did a post doc at the University of Texas, Austin, studying ecdysone and chromosome activity in Rhynchosciara, particularly in relation to gene amplification. My supervisor was the Brazilian geneticist, Crodowaldo Pavan. After that I came to Melbourne and worked for several years in the Melbourne University Genetics Department at the end of the time of Michael White's tenure there. I made the mistake of trying to raise Rhynchosciara in Australia since I was very familiar with that fly and I felt that there was a lot of work still to be done. That attempt was not successful. Subsequently, I had a long period at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil working with Professor Francisco Lara. I have been in and out of Brazil for many years through various political changes and still visit there. During some of that period I was a lecturer for about 8 years at the College of Advanced Education which became the Department of Education of the University of Melbourne. I began to work with Ary when I came back from a long period in Brazil and he was still at La Trobe University. I could have retired but I decided to work a little longer. My first project involved clines in inversion polymorphism. I have been associated with Ary's group ever since, working casually on various projects and most recently in an honorary position. My speciality is chromosomes, particularly fly chromosomes, which most people do not work with anymore.
Chromosome evolution in Australian Scaptodrosophila: I have examined mitotic chromosomes of a number of Australian Scaptodrosophila species and carried out C-banding and Ag-NOR banding. I have also examined polytene chromosomes. Since Ag-NOR banding was only variably successful, I may also do rDNA in situ hybridization when I am in Brazil. I intend to put together my results in a manuscript showing the relationship among the species.

fuboTV Launches SportsGrid's Betting Channel, Despite Gambling Pullback
2022 M08 12 10:24 GMT-5 – David Satin
Despite what executives from sports-centered live TV streaming service fuboTV said following the release of the company's latest quarterly earnings report earlier in the week, the streaming service is not done doubling down on gambling. The company announced this week that it has agreed with SportsGrid to provide an OTT (over-the-top) platform dedicated to sports wagering on fuboTV, as part of their Sports Plus Add-on.
SportsGrid is the first 24 hour sports wagering channel in the U.S. It provides real-time coverage of pre and in-game odds, data, stats and more for all major sports, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, college sports, golf, tennis, and soccer. The channel also features sports analysis and news, and its line-up will be anchored by "The Pat McAfee show", which currently has nearly 2 million subscribers. McAfee will also be part of the rebranded FanDuel TV starting next month.
"We are extremely pleased to join FuboTV," SportsGrid's Jason Sukhraj said, "the timing is perfect with the excitement with the upcoming NFL season and FIFA World Cup Soccer Championship."
The move comes amidst uncertainty for fuboTV after the streamer lost 109,000 subscribers in Q2 2022, dropping below 1 million total subscribers. Co-founder and CEO David Gandler called the sports betting market "100% saturated" in January, so the about-face is clearly intended to lure back those lost subscribers.
fuboTV originally intended to develop its own sports betting platform, but those plans were apparently shelved following the latest earnings report. The company added free-to-play wagering games in June, preparing the ground for the SportsGrid announcement.
It will be intriguing to monitor the development of the SportsGrid-fuboTV partnership. SportsGrid is already offered on Sling TV's FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) service Sling Free, so it's doubtful that addition alone will bring a dramatic number of subscribers to fuboTV.
fuboTV has been making efforts to add more FAST channels as well, but major sports leagues have been hesitant to embrace the FAST format. That's another problem for fuboTV, as their channel options are so heavily skewed toward live sports.
On top of these woes, fuboTV is about to have major competition in live sports betting. This week, Disney announced that it was searching for a sportsbook partner to bring betting interactivity to ESPN. When Disney launches its planned standalone ESPN streaming service, the company's reach and already strong streaming numbers ensure that it will be a powerhouse. fuboTV's deal with SportsGrid had better take off quickly, or they may be left behind.

Hon Roger Cook BA GradDipBus MBA MLA
Deputy Premier; Minister for Health; Mental Health
Action to reduce violence and aggression in WA hospitals
$5 million allocated across the WA health system for immediate action to help stop violence and aggressive behaviour within hospitals
Funding for additional security, Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) specialist staff and a public awareness campaign
Extra safety measures follow the Stop the Violence Summit, which identified short, medium and long-term strategies to tackle violence
In June the Health Minister Roger Cook convened a Stop the Violence Summit in response to rising rates of aggression against frontline health staff. More than 100 healthcare staff, as well as security, unions and other key stakeholders provided vital input into initiatives to address the problem.
In a collaborative and productive summit attendees identified key short, medium and long-term strategies to reduce violent and aggressive behaviour within hospitals.
Following the summit, the Health Director General and the East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) Chief Executive began coordinating a system-wide approach to address violence and make WA's public hospitals safer for staff, patients and visitors.
The Department of Health has allocated $5 million within this year's budget to immediately fund short-term actions. Initiatives include:
Increase in security staff numbers and review of procedures at hospital sites, to allow "flex up" capacity to cover peak periods and support Emergency Department (ED). Funding will also be used to improve security training for staff;
Additional Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) specialist positions at five hospitals; Royal Perth Hospital, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Joondalup Health Campus and Armadale Health Service. AOD specialists are trained to de-escalate and also co-ordinate appropriate discharge plans. When AOD patients remain in ED longer than necessary it can cause frustration that can result in violence; and
Development of a public awareness campaign that encourages patients and visitors to consider the impact of their actions on others. This campaign will run across radio, digital channels and outdoor media, with complementary messaging also displayed within hospitals.
Preparatory work has also commenced on other important strategies including:
Partnering with the WA Police Force to improve patient handover processes from police to hospital staff and to improve in-reach services to patients in custody. This is expected to minimise violent and aggressive patients being brought to ED when they could potentially be treated by clinicians in the lock-up;
Reviewing security equipment requirements such as CCTV;
Developing a system-wide training package for hospital staff to identify and manage agitated and aggressive patients;
Enhancing support options for staff following violent incidents; and
Developing tools and protocols for monitoring patients at high risk of violence and aggression.
Comments attributed to Health Minister Roger Cook:
"One act of aggression towards our hospital staff is one act too many. Our healthcare workers provide life-saving treatment to the sickest and most vulnerable Western Australians, and should be able to do so in a safe environment.
"This new funding is the first step to stamp out this deplorable trend of violence and ensure our staff feel safe. It will provide enhanced security and more specialist clinical staff, there will also be a public awareness campaign because we need the support of the entire community to effect change.
"Strengthening processes with WA Police and providing in-reach medical services at police facilities such as the Perth lock-up, will go a long way to help reduce violence and anti-social behaviour in our hospitals.
"I urge the community to help us to condemn this behaviour; when you attend a public hospital you expect the best care, so treat the staff with the respect they deserve and let them get on with the job of saving lives."

Q: I want to stop image animations from flashing I am using Octave 3.8.1 on an iMac (Yosemite OS) with gnuplot and x11. I have a small series of images, a short movie in fact, that I want to display in sequence without entire plot refreshing and flashing.  I seem to have spent hours trying to research this on the Internet. For example:
X is a structure of FN frames, each of which is a 480x640 RGB color image. (A video, in other words.)
X=load("cam1");
[fx,fy,fcol,fn]=size(X.vidFrames)
% here fx=480, fy=640, fcol=3 for RGB datasets, and fn=number of frames
% X needed to be flipped so as not to display upside down
for i=1:fn
    imshow(X.vidFrames(end:-1:1,:,:,i));
    drawnow;
    pause(.1);
end

This works OK .. EXCEPT each frame flashes as the entire plot window is cleared/redrawn by default for each new frame. The data here doesn't have to be a movie; all such plot function animations seem to flash all the time whether videos or differential equation time-series, etc. ... except maybe when using pcolor(). How do I turn off this plot refresh? So frustrating. I just want the next image/figure simply to overdraw the current one.
Thank you.
ps / I do not recall ever having this problem using Octave on Windows PCs ...

A: I've been having the same problem. I'm using Octave v4.0. I've found a bit of a weird way to fix it.
Grab the window and shake it around until it goes clean. The window bugs out a bit and doesn't correctly follow the mouse. But, eventually (after <10 seconds of shaking the window), it settles down and draws the next frame without issue from then on.
Additionally, if you don't close the figure window, it won't have issues like this anymore.
No, I don't know why this works. But it reproducibly does work for me.

Canadian Setter Brett Walsh Signs 2-Year Contract With Knack Roeselare

After spending a season in Italy's top division, Canadian setter Brett Walsh has agreed to a 2-year deal with Belgian club Knack Roeselare. The 24-year old setter who is from Calgary, Alberta played his first pro season with Gi Group Monza, who finished with a record of 9-17. Even though that may not seem impressive, it is rare for a foreign player, especially a setter, to spend their first season playing in the Italian SuperLega, which is considered by most to be the most competitive league for men's pro volleyball. Walsh graduated in 2016 from the University of Alberta as one of the top setting prospects Canada has seen, owning the record for most assists in CanWest conference history. In Monza, Walsh split setting duties with American National Team captain Kawika Shoji. Even though Walsh was the back-up to Shoji, he played in several important games and established himself as one of the best blocking setters in the league. Monza will now need Shoji to stay with them, one year after signing a contract with the Italian club if they are to have a chance of staying competitive next season.
Knack Roeselare is consistently one of the top clubs in Belgium and a regular member of the Champions League. They have won the Belgian cup the past 3 years in a row. Although they have experienced great success in the domestic Belgian league, they were only able to go 2-4 in the Champions League this season, just barely missing out on the round of 12 playoffs. Walsh will likely replace setter Angel Trinidad de Haro, who has been their starter for most of the season. The signing of Walsh looks like the start of an aggressive push to become an elite club not just in Belgium, but in Europe. Expect more value signings of foreign players from Roeselare in the coming weeks.

Our rafting expeditions on the Pai River will take you through the main Wildlife Sanctuary of Mae Hong Son province. Being the only access to this area, the Pai River guarantees an unforgettable wilderness trip.
Meet our team 9:00am at your Chiang Mai accommodation. Driving along mountain roads you will be passing through spectacular scenery and stopping at a mountain viewpoint. You will reach the Pai valley and be greeted by our team at the rafting base camp where you can enjoy some lunch. After checking into your room, the rest of the day is free for you to discover the valley independently or you can choose to take an optional tour. Have a good nights sleep so that you are prepared for the following two days of adventure on the river!
Fuel up with breakfast then meet our team 9:00am at your hotel. we will transfer you to our office in Pai where the rafting adventure begins. We take some time for a briefing where we give a basic introduction on safety and paddling techniques, followed by a 1 hour vehicle transfer to the river starting point. Upon boarding the rafts, the real fun begins and we begin to paddle down river, making a stop for lunch and a swim on the river banks. After lunch, we pass a few larger rapids and the river cuts through beautiful scenery as we paddle to our overnight accommodation at a jungle camp. Our guides will prepare delicious Thai food for dinner while you relax and soak up your peaceful surroundings. Tonight we will be sleeping on an elevated bamboo platform under mosquito nets, no doubt an unforgettable experience for those who enjoy the outdoors.
After a substantial breakfast, we board the rafts for the second day of our expedition. Spending the morning paddling sets of rapids through stunning jungle scenery, we stop for a packed lunch on the river bank. Continuing further down the river we pull out to the river bank mid-afternoon (depending on water level) where the rafting trips come to an end. After two days of adventure on the magnificent Pai river, we transfer by vehicle to Mae Hong Son city/airport, or transfer back to Pai with our support vehicle (covered pick-up truck "songtaew").
Note:Participants can end the trip at Mae Hong Son airport (airfare not included).
Note: this program is a sample itinerary only and can vary slightly depending of the season and other circumstances. We reserve the right to change the program according to local situation.
We highly recommend to spend a night in Pai or Mae Hong Son after the rafting trip.
4) Fly back to Chiang Mai; flights now operated by Bangkok Airways (See below).
If you prefer not to return to Chiang Mai overland, there is the option to fly from Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai (price is not included). You will need sufficient advance notice to book this flight with Bangkok Airways. Active Thailand is not responsible for flight delays or eventual cancellation from this airline.


It's back! The theme tune started and I could hardly contain my excitement for the twelfth series of The Apprentice. Some love it, some hate it, but the candidates in this entrepreneurial-competition-like-no-another certainly divide public opinion. This year we have everything from an art director to the owner of a sausage shop (something that really seemed to amuse Alan).
The first task of the 12 weeks was based around antiques, with candidates having to choose valuable items and sell them at a market stall and to antiques traders. The teams were divided into boys and girls, with predictably cringe-inducing names, although Rebecca's idea of 'Team Click' for the girls was swiftly quashed by her team-mates – thank goodness. The boys started off questionably, choosing their project manager based on the fact he watched 'Bargain Hunt'… but ultimately they seemed to get the gist of the challenge better than the girls by having a more sensible pricing strategy.
One candidate that really stood out over the course of the show was Jessica Cunningham, an online fashion entrepreneur. She was over-excited throughout the entire episode, so much so that she tried the same joke of pretending to drop a valuable item three times over the course of one hour (needless to say, it got a bit worn by the third "nearly had you there!"). Selling strategies were interesting and varied. Mukai tried enticing a shopper with, "Here's a scarf, don't be afraid" – not a strategy I'll ever use.
But, after these small highlights, there wasn't much else of interest to remark upon. The rest of the programme followed the usual format but this year it felt a little tired. The candidates (who can usually be relied upon) seemed to be speaking off a script in the boardroom, getting to the crux of the issue well before the hour was up with Rebecca worriedly exclaiming, "I don't believe I'm responsible for the failure of this task". The only thing new about this show was Lord Sugar's daisy-print tie (I approved immensely). Next week's episode needs to up its game if I'm to continue watching.

Q: Updated: Help with proof construction - Uniform convergence Theorem
The uniform limit of continuous functions is continuous. More precisely, let
$ (f_n)$ be a sequence of functions on a set $ S \subseteq \mathbf{R}, $
suppose $f_n \longrightarrow f$ uniformly on $S$, and suppose $S = dom(f).$
If each $f_n$ is continuous on $S$, then $f$ is continuous on $S$.

I would like to prove that some $f_n$ is not uniformly continuous. So my question is, if I were to set this up like a proof by contradiction or a proof by contra-positive, would that be sufficient?
i.e. If I wrote:
Assume, to get a contradiction, that $f_n \longrightarrow f$ uniformly on $S=dom(f)$ and each $f_n$ is continuous on $S$, then $f$ is not continuous on $S$ .....or something like this?
Is this structure sufficient to contradict "$f_n \longrightarrow f$ uniformly on $S$"

Human error in the way hydrants, valves and pumps are operated is a major cause of surge effects in water supply networks. Surge is a major cause of leaks and bursts in pipe infrastructure.
Much of this harm can be avoided by modifying the way the network is operated. This can be achieved by ensuring operators are thoroughly trained, which utilities must do under their duty of care.
Aquam's Calm Networks Training, which can be delivered on-site or online, ensures that candidates achieve an understanding of the causes of transient surge in the water network.
Aquam's courses have received a Certificate of Accreditation from the Institute of Water. They provide training and assessment of acceptable levels of competence when operating a range of valve technologies found in the water network.
A licensed network operator itself, Aquam has delivered 40 training sessions for approximately 600 employees of Thames Water and its partner companies.
Fire authorities too have been keen to take advantage of Calm Network training. Poorly managed emergency use of standpipes can create bursts that cost millions to utilities and risk outing water supplies during critical fire incidents.
On successful completion of the Calmer Network Training course, operators receive a photo identification card and certificate. Their details are registered on a central database for a year, after which an annual refresher course is required to keep their skills up-to-date.
An online training course for occasional users can be taken for free. Aquam Water Services can develop bespoke e-training calm networks packages for organisations with specific in-house requirements.


If you think your computer has been taken over by some kind of a computer infection, check whether it is not VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C Trojan that's slowing down your PC, hijacking your system's processes and deleting your personal files. Without a doubt, VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C is not your regular computer infection, which has an interface or which can be detected and removed by Windows security tools, because this Trojan not only does not have a visible exterior, but also cannot be tracked down by existing security tools. This Trojan is highly malignant and can cause you much bigger problems than some technical Windows dysfunctions, so do not wait until it is too late and remove VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C immediately.
VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C is ranked highly dangerous because of all the infectious files, which can be listed under the descriptions of cloaked malware, system backdoors, information stealers, malware droppers and downloaders. What is also notable about these files is that they do not necessarily come all at once, but they definitely complement one another. Some files can travel to your computer via encrypted downloads, after which these files then can download other malicious components needed for smooth VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C's running.
Initially, certain VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C files will add the Trojan's processes to the system's startup and will hide them from any detection and removal, using the rootkit method, capacitated by VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C's ffm.exe. After the Trojan and its running will be hidden, all other malicious files will start their tasks. ComboFix.exe will open browser pop-ups, delete processes and add files to the Windows Registry. Tcpscvs.exe will link your computer to remote servers and use SMTP to send spam emails, spreading VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C Trojan, through your email accounts. Another malignant Trojan's file – express.exe – will also make sure that your accounts are serving infection's spreading. And svcnost.exe will record your browsing activity, add/delete files, and will tamper with your Windows' security tool Firewall, making it oblivious to the VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C's existence.
VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C is not a program you would ever want running in your computer, so you should not contemplate its harmfulness any longer! Simply find a tool, which will remove this vicious infection without much trouble. Unfortunately, Trojan VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C is relatively new, and outdated security software will not be able to detect or remove it timely. This is why it is best you update your Windows system with the newest safeguard tool, which will be able to remove VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C's files right away. Most importantly, do not postpone the removal, as this could conclude in irreparable computer's damage or even identity theft!
Quick & tested solution for VirTool:MSIL/Injector.C removal.
