PHNOM PENH – Tackling human trafficking must go hand in hand with the elimination of corruption, civil society groups say, calling for the arrest not only of small stakeholders but also powerful figures behind the trade.
They spoke out amid multiple reports that Cambodia is a busy centre of trafficking.
Khun Tharo, program manager at CENTRAL, said human trafficking involves corruption and involves those who have the power to enforce the law. All cases need to be thoroughly investigated.
"It is collective trafficking, so it has to be solved collectively," he said on Sept. 7 but added that the problem can't be solved without bringing the real perpetrators to justice.
The process must involve the authorities in law enforcement or influential people before the perpetrators reach Cambodia. He wants officials to track not only minor players but also those behind the trade.
Am Sam Ath, deputy director of human right organization Licadho, said there is corruption when the authorities help facilitate trafficking for commissions and other benefits.
"Officials who are involved and facilitators are also called accomplices," he said. "The law must be enforced on the perpetrators, those who are involved and the facilitators."
Sar Kheng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, raised alarm over telecom fraud as foreign ringleaders used Cambodia to conduct human trafficking.
He said most of the criminals or masterminds were foreigners from Vietnam, China, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
It was a new crime that has just appeared in Cambodia, a fraudulent crime in the telecommunications system and was a problem, he said on Aug. 8.
"This telecom trafficking ring is using Cambodia as a crime scene, so Cambodia is a victim because 99.99 percent of the perpetrators are not Cambodian and the brokers facilitating the documents to send people out of their countries are also not Cambodians," Kheng said.
Anti-Corruption Unit chief Om Yentieng said crimes that include corruption are even more dangerous, while human trafficking cases that have been found to involve corruption can be multidisciplinary with offences including fraud and money laundering.
"This requires a further level of joint investigation and a joint operation," he said at the Regional Anti-Corruption Conference for Law Enforcement Professionals in Southeast Asia in Bangkok last month.
More than 200 participants from 18 countries, including representatives of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, took part in the conference.
Yentieng said Cambodia had created the National Committee for Counter Trafficking to gather forces and measures to combat human trafficking, which had brought results and success.
Yentieng raised the anti-money laundering measures Cambodia had taken to illustrate the joint investigation and operation. Cambodia had turned separate law enforcement investigations such as law enforcement and the judiciary into a single coalition of law enforcement agencies to discuss and assist each other in investigations, he said.
Cambodianess could not reach him for further comment.
Asked how many human trafficking cases Cambodia had found involved corruption, Chou Bun Eng, permanent vice chairperson of NCCT and the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Interior, said she was busy and referred the reporter to Yentieng.
Social analyst Meas Nee said to effectively address human trafficking, strict law enforcement against corruption must be in place, while people should be educated to think critically to prevent themselves from becoming trafficking victims.
Sar Kheng said on Aug. 26 that Cambodia has launched an operation to ramp up its campaign against all forms of human trafficking, forced labor and the sex trade, and to urge the public and stakeholders to share information to stop and prevent these crimes.
Most human trafficking cases were handled timely, Sar Kheng said on Aug.16.
From Jan. 1 to Aug. 30, 87 cases were handled, with 865 people saying they were victims. Seventeen cases involving a total of 60 suspects were referred to the courts.
Last month, seven rescue operations were conducted during which 25 victims of six nationalities were freed and 23 suspects of four nationalities were captured in the provinces of Oddar Meanchey, Preah Sihanouk, Pursat, and Svay Rieng, Kheng said.
Authorities are investigating the remaining cases, Sar Kheng said on Aug. 26 as he chaired a meeting attended by government officials and provincial governors to discuss plans to crack down on human, labor and sex trafficking.
Among the foreign victims, many were trafficked through masterminds in their countries helped by associates in Cambodia who arranged for them to enter the country illegally after being promised high-paying jobs, he said.

Father Harlow's work for Kurn Hattin children

There is a special place for St. Nicholas in the life of Father Lance Harlow.
It's not just because the saint whose feast day is Dec. 6 is the patron saint of children and known for his charity to children in need, but because he is the patron of a project Father Harlow began in 2015 to assist the residents of The Kurn Hattin Homes for Children in Westminster.
Since 1894, Kurn Hattin has helped thousands of children and their families by offering a safe home and quality education in a nurturing environment.
The St. Nicholas Project seeks to invite the Catholic community in Vermont to participate in the good works taking place at Kurn Hattin. "Since the Catholic Church in Vermont no longer has an orphanage or any direct child-care-related ministries, it seemed the perfect relationship for Catholics to perform works of mercy and experience the joy of loving Jesus in these children who come from difficult circumstances," said Father Harlow, rector of St. Joseph Co-Cathedral and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Burlington.
He became involved with Kurn Hattin when he was pastor at St. Charles Church in Bellows Falls in 2005, not far from the school. He was invited to give the benediction at the annual Veterans' Day Ceremony, and the director of music, Lisa Bianconi, asked if he played any musical instruments. Upon learning that he did, she recruited him to play trombone in the low-brass section of the middle school band.
Because there are some 100 students in the music program, adult musicians help them. Father Harlow can play a variety of instruments, so he performed with the jazz band, marching band and select choir for six years.
As pastor of St. Charles, he also helped with the religious education of the Catholic children, baptized and conferred First Reconciliation and First Communion.
After he was transferred to Chittenden County, it became more difficult for him to travel to Westminster to participate in the concerts and other public events, so he became more involved with fundraising for Kurn Hattin.
Each year he invites all of the parish religious education programs to make Christmas cards for the boys and girls at the residential school; the Catholic Daughters and the Knights of Columbus have been generous with financial donations as well as donating raffle items and sports equipment. Some religious education programs have donated school items and toys.
And one of Father Harlow's former parishes, Immaculate Heart of Mary in Williston, collected coats one winter for the children. "Parishioners have been very generous," he said.
This year, in honor of his silver jubilee of priestly ordination — which will occur on May 8, 2018 — he has committed to several fundraising projects for Kurn Hattin with the goal of raising $25,000 in honor of his 25 years of priesthood. These included a September back-to-school shoe fundraiser to provide shoes and boots for the students.
The winners of a Christmas raffle will be drawn at the Dec. 14 Christmas concert at Kurn Hattin. Tickets are still available through Father Harlow or at kurnhattin.org/donate. (Be sure to enter the words "Christmas raffle.")
Tickets are $25 for one or a book of five for $100. There are three cash prizes $2,500, $1,000 and $500.
The DeGoesbriand Council of the Knights of Columbus in Burlington will conduct a drive to collect sports equipment for Kurn Hattin in April, and in May, parishioners from St. Joseph Co-Cathedral will host a spring tea for ladies to learn more about Kurn Hattin.
Father Harlow is traveling to his eight former parishes to celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving and speak about the St. Nicholas Project, and on May 8, 2018, there will be the grand finale Mass of Thanksgiving at his home parish of St. Francis of Assisi in Windsor at which the Kurn Hattin Select Choir will sing. "Everyone is invited to attend the Mass and reception following — and meet some of the children and staff from the Kurn Hattin Homes for Children," he said.
"His work for us is astounding," enthused Stephen Harrison, executive director of Kurn Hattin. "He has a heart for children."
Harrison said the priest's ongoing commitment to the school — which generally has 95-105 students in kindergarten through grade eight — "has been a real Godsend in so many ways."
In addition to raising funds and organizing drives for things like clothing, shoes, quilts and pillowcases, the way he has involved people from throughout the Diocese of Burlington is meaningful to the children, Harrison said. "He has touched so many children's lives and done so through many people in Vermont who might not have ever heard about us let alone assist us."
He called Father Harlow's work on behalf of the residential school "stellar."

To get the job done during the ship's port stay, Hydrex immediately fabricated a 700mm x 300mm insert plate, as well as a steel mobdock (mobile drydock) profiled to fit the curvature of the tanker's hull. The mobdock was installed, enabling the diver/technicians to cut away the cracked area and weld the insert plate in place, using Hydrex's class-approved full penetration welding technique. All of this work was carried out during the tanker's scheduled stop, and in close communication with the superintendent of the vessel and the attending class surveyor. The permanent nature of the repair meant that no further action would be required at the ship's next drydocking.
Similarly, when a crack was noticed in a 163m ro-ro vessel, Hydrex was requested to undertake an underwater repair during the ship's stop in Zeebrugge. Thanks to the large stock of equipment held by Hydrex's fast response centre in Antwerp, a repair team could be mobilised almost immediately.
The vessel had suffered a hole in the shell plating of a ballast tank, but poor weather and fast currents, as well as limited time, meant that welding was not possible. The divers were able to quickly install a doubler over the hole. The Hydrex technical department was then able to devise a more permanent repair, which involved installation of a cofferdam on the waterside of the damaged area, cutting away the affected area of bottom plating and welding in an insert plate. Again, the repair was carried out, using Hydrex's full penetration welding technique, tested ultrasonically by an independent inspector and approved by the attending class surveyor.
Hydrex's class-approved cofferdam technique was employed again on a 228m tanker at berth in Rotterdam. This offered a quick, cost-effective alternative to drydocking in order to repair two leaking pipes.
"Overboard pipe repairs are vital for a vessel because there is a direct connection between the outside hull and the pipes. This means that any damage to the pipes can compromise the integrity of the hull. For this reason, the classification society will strictly monitor the condition of the pipes and will demand a fast and thorough repair of the damage," said Hydrex Production Executive Dave Bleyenberg.

Jenji Kohan Drama 'American Princess' Goes Straight to Series at Lifetime
Jenji Kohan
'Orange Is the New Black's' Jamie Denbo created the drama, which follows a socialite who leaves to join a Renaissance faire.
Lifetime is expanding its scripted slate with another of TV's most prolific showrunners.
The female-skewing cable network has handed out a 10-episode straight-to-series order for drama American Princess, from Orange Is the New Black's Jenji Kohan, Jamie Denbo and Tara Herrmann.
The drama, a co-production between A+E Studios and IM Global Television, revolves around a socialite who runs off to join a Renaissance faire after her wedding goes awry.
American Princess is created, written and executive produced by Denbo, who starred as Shelly on Kohan's Netflix prison dramedy Orange. Kohan and Herrmann (GLOW) also exec produce.
"Jenji has always taken interesting and unconventional worlds and given them heart and humor," said Liz Gateley, exec vp and head of programming at Lifetime. "From the get-go, American Princess was a concept we loved as it's incredibly relatable to want to parachute from one's life in difficult times. In Jenji, Jamie and Tara's hands, we know this will be hilarious and special."
American Princess marks Kohan's third show, joining Netflix's Orange and GLOW.
"In the current landscape of scripted television programs, American Princess is a true standout," said Paul Buccieri, president of A+E Studios and A+E Networks Portfolio Group. "This series continues building on the premium storytelling that is a foundation of A+E Studios, and we are thrilled to partner with IM Global."
American Princess joins a rapidly growing slate of originals at Lifetime, including Greg Berlanti drama You (which was also picked up straight to series) as well as UnREAL (which just scored an early season four renewal at the cabler) and Canadian import Mary Kills People.
Here's the official logline: American Princess centers on Amanda, an Upper East Side socialite whose storybook wedding plans are dramatically derailed when she discovers her fiancé is cheating on her just hours before they are to be wed. Outraged, Amanda reacts violently to the indiscretions and runs away from her own dream wedding in the countryside, only to find herself stranded in the middle of a Renaissance faire with no phone and no way home. She soon discovers her outburst has made tabloid headlines and experiences a nervous breakdown, leading her to reevaluate her life. The unexpected awakening leads Amanda to leave everything she thought she cared about behind to become the faire's newest wench-in-waiting.
For IM Global, American Princess marks the first scripted series on the small screen for the Mark Stern-led independent studio.
"American Princess is exactly the kind of smart, high-quality series that IM Global Television aspires to. We're excited to be in partnership with A+E Studios," Stern said.
Kohan is repped by CAA and Robert S. Getman; Denbo is with Brillstein Entertainment; and Herrmann is repped by CAA.

TWO children aged nine and 11 who vanished in Blackpool last night have been found safe and well.
Luke Henson and Maddison Sleet-Moreano had been last seen outside a One Stop shop just before 5pm.
Cops launched a frantic hunt for the pair, who had not gone missing before.
But they confirmed this morning both have been found safe.
Lancs Police tweeted: "Further to our appeal earlier this morning, two children who were missing from home in Blackpool have been found safe.
"The 9-year-old boy and 11-year-old girl were found safe and well in the town this morning (18th October)."
Inspector Steph Hurst of Blackpool Police had said earlier today: "We're concerned for Luke and Maddison who have now been missing for over 12 hours.
"They are very young and it is out of character for them not to return home.
"If you have seen either of them, please get in touch with us immediately.

BP launches PR fightback over oil spill
ChannelNewsAsia.com
LONDON: Under-fire oil giant BP launched a public relations fightback on Monday over the Gulf of Mexico rig spill, pledging up to 500 million dollars to study the impact and taking out major newspaper ads.
The twin moves came as BP faced mounting pressure to check the massive oil leak, after the US government threatened to take over the response to the month-old disaster.
A 10-year research programme would study topics including how oil and the chemicals used to disperse it were affected by ocean currents, and how they were dispersed in the sea and on shore.
"BP has made a commitment to doing everything we can to lessen the impact of this tragic incident on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast," BP chief executive Tony Hayward said, announcing the 405-million-euro pledge.
"We must make every effort to understand that impact. This will be a key part of the process of restoration, and for improving the industry response capability for the future," he added.
The research programme would also examine how accidental oil spills compare to natural seepage from the seabed, whether chemicals used to disperse the oil helped or hindered biodegradation, and what can be done to improve technology.
The BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers, and sank two days later. Ever since, hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil, perhaps even millions, have spewed each day into the sea, threatening marine and shore-based wildlife, fishing industries and tourism.
In the United States, BP – struggling to convince Americans it can be trusted to stop and clean up the oil spill – has started taking out ads in major US newspapers.
First appearing in The New York Times and then again in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today on Monday, the full-page ad is headlined in bold "Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Response. What we're doing. How to get more information."
Below BP tries to reassure readers it is doing everything possible to stem a slick that is now washing up on Louisiana's shores, providing ugly pictures of oiled marshlands and rare birds that are a publicity nightmare.
"Since the tragic accident on the Transocean Deepwater Horizon rig first occurred, we have been committed to doing everything possible to stop the flow of oil at the seabed and keep it away from the shore," the ad says.
"BP has taken full responsibility for dealing with the spill. We are determined to do everything we can to minimise any impact. We will honour all legitimate claims."
BP's funding pledge statement said it already has ongoing marine research programmes in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Building on these, BP will appoint an independent advisory panel to construct the long term research program. Where appropriate, the studies may be coordinated with the ongoing natural resources damages assessment," it said.
Initially a grant to Louisiana State University (LSU) will help kick start the work, BP said.
"LSU has a significant amount of experience in dealing with the oil and gas industry and deep knowledge pertaining to the Gulf of Mexico," said Professor Christopher d'Elia, dean of LSU's School of the Coast and Environment.
"The first part of the programme is about obtaining and analyzing samples and assessing immediate impacts. Other areas of importance will emerge as researchers become engaged and the potential impacts from the spill are better understood," said d'Elia, cited by BP. – AFP/de

Maynooth University celebrates with Staff Awards
Elaine Bean, Senior Library Assistant, recieves the President's Award for Service Excellence (individual)
As part of Maynooth University's 20th anniversary celebrations, the University recently honoured exceptional research and service innovation by its faculty and staff with a new set of awards.
The awards were presented at an event on Friday, 20th April, culminating the first-ever Maynoooth Week, a special week of activities and events designed to celebrate the staff, students, alumni and community that make Maynooth University the vibrant, dynamic and distinctive place it is today.
Staff gathered to recognise their colleagues with two new sets of awards—the Maynooth Staff Recognition Awards and the Maynooth University Research Achievement Awards.
Commenting on the awards, President of Maynooth University, Professor Philip Nolan said: "I am constantly impressed by the high calibre of work undertaken by colleagues across this institution—whether it be strikingly original research; innovation and commitment in University support services; or dedicated and engaging teaching practice and development."
"The awards represent an opportunity to recognise outstanding contributions by our colleagues and to celebrate the work of the University as a whole."
The Maynooth University Staff Recognition Awards for Administrative, Technical, Professional and Support Staff were designed to recognise outstanding contributions to university life by staff across all departments. Staff were nominated by colleagues in both individual and team categories for service excellence and service innovation.
The 2018 winners of the President's Award for Service Excellence (individuals): Elaine Bean, Senior Library Assistant; Elizabeth Murphy, Assistant Librarian; Gemma Middleton, Office of the Dean of Teaching and Learning; and Michelle Finnegan, Department of Biology.
The 2018 winners of the President's Award for Service Excellence (team): Catherine Heslin and Ann Donoghue, who manage the administration of Maynooth University's Department of History; and the entire Maynooth University's Grounds Staff of Campus Services.
The 2018 winners of the President's Award for Service Innovation (individual): Maynooth University Programme Advisor, Catriona Mc Grattan, for her leadership and forward-thinking approach to supporting students as they transition to third-level education.
The 2018 winners of the President's Award for Service Innovation (team): The Maynooth University Library Innovation Group, comprised of Laura Connaughton (Chair), Elaine Bean, Carole Connolly, Patricia Harkin, Fiona Tuohy and Lorna Dodd. The group was praised for the way in which it has engaged with and listened to students, including its standout project for the 'If Students Did Libraries …' initiative, which has seen student ideas incorporated into Maynooth University's library, such as Brian Crinion's Energy Pods.
Maynooth University Research Achievement Awards were presented to members of Maynooth University's faculty that have demonstrated excellence in different areas of research.
The 2018 winner of the Early Career Research Achievement Award in Social Sciences: Dr Conor Murphy, Maynooth University Department of Geography, whose research has advanced understanding the historical rainfall climatology of the Island of Ireland by developing a quality assured monthly rainfall network for Ireland from 1850, a drought catalogue from 1766, and a continuous monthly rainfall series that extends to 1711. The latter is one of the world's longest, quality assured rainfall series and is a new benchmark dataset for understanding the historical climate of Western Europe and variability in the Atlantic Ocean
The 2018 winner of the Early Career Research Award in Arts, Humanities, Celtic Studies and Philosophy: Dr Deborah Hayden, Maynooth University's School of Celtic Studies. Dr Hayden recently became one of just 36 academics in Ireland to be awarded with an Irish Research Council Laureate Award to conduct a project on two medieval texts that she discovered, and which alter our understanding of Ireland's contribution to medieval European scientific literature in the vernacular
The 2018 winner of the Early Career Research Achievement Award for Science and Engineering: Dr Karen English, Department of Biology, was honoured for her work in leading the Cellular Immunology Laboratory in the Biology Department. Holding six PhDs, her work has been cited nearly 900 times in the past three years.

A Night Packed With Boulez
Taka Kigawa is to play all of Pierre Boulez's solo piano works on Monday at Le Poisson Rouge.CreditCreditRichard Termine for The New York Times
By Zachary Woolfe
If anything can cut through the late-August humidity, it's the bracing music of Pierre Boulez, the doyen of complexity and kaleidoscopic colors. Taka Kigawa, a gifted and daring pianist who specializes in 20th-century and contemporary music, takes on not just some Boulez, but all Boulez: the complete solo piano works, at least, which stretch from the 1940s to the past decade. The program on Monday will include "12 Notations," "Incises," "Une Page d'Éphéméride" and all three sonatas, including the fearsomely difficult second, from the late '40s, with which the pugnacious Mr. Boulez, now 89, aimed to destroy the traditional sonata form. "Sigle," a rarely performed fragment associated with the third, will be a treat for completists. (7:30 p.m., Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, near Thompson Street, Greenwich Village; 212-505-3474, lepoissonrouge.com.)

This paper examines the formidable obstacles to the development of a regionally harmonized approach to migration management in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. Tracing the origins and development of SADC initiatives on regional cooperation on population movement, the paper shows how the far-reaching 1995 SADC Draft Protocol on Free Movement was killed off by South Africa. An examination of South Africa's response and counterproposals reveal the myth and paranoia that characterize thinking on crossborder migration within the country. The SADC initiative to develop a Migration Protocol, akin to those on education and training and regional trade, finally ran aground in Mauritius in September 1998. This paper shows why it has been so difficult to develop a regional protocol on population movement and speculates on the likelihood of such a development in the future.

Kleingarnstadt ist ein Ortsteil der oberfränkischen Gemeinde Ebersdorf bei Coburg im Landkreis Coburg.

Lage
Kleingarnstadt liegt etwa neun Kilometer südöstlich von Coburg. Die Kreisstraße CO 11 verbindet den Ort mit Blumenrod und Bieberbach, die CO 13 mit Großgarnstadt. Gemeindeverbindungsstraßen führen nach Oberwasungen und Oberfüllbach. Der Burkhartsberg mit 423 Metern ist die höchste Erhebung im Gemeindegebiet.

Geschichte
Kleingarnstadt wurde erstmals 1125 urkundlich erwähnt. 1225 lautete die Ortsbezeichnung "Garnstat minori". Sie geht wohl auf den Personennamen Garo (Kurzform von Garibert, Garibald oder Garimer) zurück.

Grundherren waren in dem Ort unter anderem die Klöster Sonnefeld und Banz. 1353 kam Kleingarnstadt mit dem Coburger Land im Erbgang zu den Wettinern und war somit ab 1485 Teil des Kurfürstentums Sachsen, aus dem später das Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg hervorging. Nach dem Tod von Herzog Albrecht im Jahr 1699 kam Kleingarnstadt als Teil des Amtes Sonnefeld im Jahr 1705 zu Sachsen-Hildburghausen. 1826 gelangte das Amt Sonnefeld gemäß dem Teilungsvertrag zu Hildburghausen wieder zu Sachsen-Coburg.

Kleingarnstadt gehört seit Jahrhunderten zum evangelisch-lutherischen Kirchspiel Großgarnstadt. Die Feuerwehr Kleingarnstadt wurde 1835 gegründet und sorgt seitdem für den Brandschutz und die allgemeine Hilfe. 1911 wurde das Schulhaus eingeweiht, das bis 1967 in Betrieb war.

In einer Volksbefragung am 30. November 1919 stimmten 4 Kleingarnstadter Bürger für den Beitritt des Freistaates Coburg zum thüringischen Staat und 50 dagegen. Somit gehörte ab dem 1. Juli 1920 auch Kleingarnstadt zum Freistaat Bayern.

Eine Flurbereinigung erfolgte 1963 bis 1971. 1969 nahm das Unternehmen Martin Metallverarbeitung GmbH ihr erstes Werk in Kleingarnstadt in Betrieb, das 2015 rund 270 Mitarbeiter hat.
Nach einer Abstimmung am 21. Februar mit 78 Stimmen für Ebersdorf und 17 Stimmen für Sonnefeld wurde Kleingarnstadt am 1. April 1971 nach Ebersdorf bei Coburg eingegliedert.

2001 wurden im Rahmen der Dorferneuerung das Bürgerhaus und ein neuer Dorfbrunnen eingeweiht.

Leadman's DOTT meeting May 26th
Leadman's ward bumps up against Somerset Ward where I live, almost on the border of the two, which is why this blog is named West Side Action, since I try to cover events that happen on the west side of the downtown, regardless of fiefdom. Anyhow, I joined the big turnout for her forum Tuesday evening on the DOTT.
Her presentation and meeting themes covered two things: the DOTT in the downtown area, and the first-phase LRT in her ward terminating at Tunneys Pasture. She was accompanied by Renfrew Morrison, a transportation consultant that we recall was Clive Doucet's hired gun for his Carling LRT proposal earlier this spring, and who was Urbandale's hired gun in August 2007 when the developer lobbied to resurrect the southwest LRT.
What follows is not a report of the meeting, but my impressions of what went on. So, it is personal views, interpretation, and not "objective".
Leadman claims that council approved the Albert St routing for the LRT tunnel, including a surface crossing of the canal using the Mackenzie King bridge, with a sharp turn south, ie the current bus route through the downtown. And that the counsultants have gone off and "surprised" her and "shocked her" by examining alternative routes, and eventually recommending the Albert St – Rideau St – Ottawa U route. She claimed to be shocked that they had extended the terminus of the first phase LRT to Tunneys Pasture instead of Bayview, as council had directed.
Both Leadman and Morrison want an underground city in the downtown, connecting the stations with underground malls under office buildings. I wondered why the underground city idea never dies: council killed the plus-16 version of it years ago, and the city's developers have consistently refused to connect together their own malls. Minneapolis discovered you can have a lively plus-16 network or lively streets, but not both, and got the worst of both. I think Ottawa is way too small to support two lively streetscapes, or three, if plus-16 walkways are brought back in. Please "bury" this fantasy. And recover more of the surface from autodomination.
Morrison surprised me by claiming that 180m stations, capable of handling six car LRTs or future conversion to subway trains, would never ever be required in Ottawa, not in 100 years. I am in part puzzled by this because so many of the other blogsphere critics of the DOTT claim the system will not be able to handle the traffic proposed. Is the system undersized or oversized, on the short term or the long term?
I go to the DOTT meetings held about every two months as member of the public advisory council. The give the same presentation earlier that day to the business advisory council. And I thought they gave it to council members. But both Leadman and Morrison continually surprised me by their poor grasp of what I thought were well-covered items.
For example, Morrison chided the DOTT team for failing to include a spur at Rideau to extend the LRT east (along Rideau, or north to Gatineau), in fact, this has been frequently mentioned by the consultants.
More bizarrely, Leadman claims that by ending the first phase LRT at Tunneys, it forever "precludes any great circle line through Gatineau" (using the POW bridge) and will "eliminate potential for cross river transit forever". I guess this eliminates any potential for a n/s LRT line along the O-Train route too, but elsewhere in the meeting Leadman seemed to support that route, and the Carling LRT, even with the LRT going to Tunney's.
Well, maybe not to Tunneys. Her position alternated all night on that. Certainly building a major transfer station at Tunneys will be disruptive. But it will be very useful for the residential community, local bus transfers to the LRT, and Tunneys employees in the future, during the first phase LRT AND once the LRT is extended westward. Some citizens at the mike expressed appreciation for improved LRT service. It is not a "throwaway cost". It is, of course, perfectly fine to build a major transfer station at Bayview, in the neighboring ward, and she expressed no concern about throw away costs there. So does she favor ending the LRT at Bayview, or continuing to Tunneys? And in future phases, should it continue west past Tunneys? The answers varied all night.
Similar confusion prevailed on the use of Scott and Albert for BRT service. Recall that during conversion of the transitway to LRT service (at least two years) all the buses that use the transitway from Tunney's to the downtown will have to move off the transitway onto Scott and then onto Albert. This will certainly be very negative for adjacent residents, and I too question how the roads can handle all the buses. Staff suggests that the two curbside lanes will be bus only lanes, but I still see congestion hell.
Then, once the LRT is running, in theory most of these buses can be stopped at Tunney's and riders transfer to the LRT if going to the downtown, and for those going to Bayview or LeBreton, every third 95 would provide this service. However, Leadman and many citizen speakers derrided putting buses on Scott, derrided transfers at tunneys, and derrided evil-Kanata residents who want one-bus service from Kanata to downtown. Well, if they dont want transfers at Tunney's, they'll have decades of buses on Scott until the LRT is extended to Lincoln Fields and transfers are forced there. At some point you cannot please everyone, tradeoffs are necessary. There are hard choices here, and more leadership and consistency is required than was evident last night.
There was consistency though, in several aspects: Tunneys transfer station: bad; buses on Scott street: bad; LRT to Tunneys: good; no: bad; Kanata riders shouldnt be worried about making transfers at nice indoor stations; local riders wont stand for forced transfers; put the transfer station at Bayview, the city owns all the land around it (points to PPT slide that highlights land that is in fact owned by other parties like Phoenix DCR who have applied to build a condo on the land); its dumb to put LRT on the Ottawa River Parkway; the solution is to run all the buses on the parkway all the way to the downtown and not along Scott; look at the big picture, plan for the future and the whole city, but make decisions based on short-term local impacts. The tunnel selection should be based on city-building criteria, but give us the costs of each option first (so we can choose the cheapest?)
And the STO buses … Leadman claimed the study ignores the STO buses on Ottawa's downtown streets, and claimed that there are more STO buses than Ottawa buses downtown. In fact, the DOTT projections always have counted all the STO users as being DOTT tunnel users, which gives some hint about the future of STO surface buses in the downtown, and some hint about the direction of the interprovincial transit study.
The audience asked many intelligent questions, and some whoppers. Members clearly disagreed as to whether transfers were good or bad, generally it seems Kanata residents should be prepared to transfer but local riders should not. The Byron right of way is useless for LRT, claimed a speaker, because it goes no where (gee, and I thought it ended so close to Lincoln Fields…). The LRT should run along Carling because there could be many stops serving local businesses and institutions (but no mention of why Kanata commuters would want such a milk run service). Use Byron, on the surface, no, put it underground. Leave the parkway only for cars, remove the buses, dont put LRT on it. No, keep the buses on the parkway. Even extend them all the way to the downtown on the parkway. A number of people spoke to the idea that the current transit planning too oriented to long-haul commuters at the expense of local transit (I agree heartily, but we still gotta deal with the folks in Barrhaven and Kanata). Keep the buses off Scott (cheers !) (how? by putting them on Albert, but hey, that's not our ward, it's someone else's problem).
Oh, that Bayview station, great place to put it, its in a field surrounded by no one. As for the Blair terminus, its stupid, its out in the middle of nowhere with vacant space around it, move it into a built up area. Morrison: London transit cited as doing great innovative tunneling work using the Austrian mine technqiue, and we are not considering it. He ignores that the tunnel-boring consultants for DOTT are from London Transport. Dont build the DOTT near the Langevin Block … running it under the War Memorial would make a "nice" terrorist target … but not to worry about running it along or under DND …
Conspiracy theories abound, and are some of the reasons why going to public meetings can be so much fun. Did you know the LRT is intended for the Ottawa River parkway because they want to rezone it all for condos? That Hintonburg is always "targetted" because its poor? (I nod my head at that one …) That it should be run on Byron so locals can use the LRT, but not on Byron because it is no longer a right of way but a park? That the urban core is the victim of suburban dominated council? (allright, I've gotta agree with that one too). Or that city staff is so incompetant that they continually bamboozle councilors and go off on their own tangents regardless of council direction and staff is secretly running everything …
In summary, there were a number of valid concerns raised, in particular how well the DOTT will work at the great depth proposed; and how buses will be handled during construction and between phase and phase two. Yet if we are to focus on the big picture, the city-building one, we cannot continually nitpik on local impacts. The transit system has to serve a variety of needs and users, and cannot exclude the long haul, short haul, peak or off-peak users.
Leadman was listening, and giving people a chance to vent, and that is admirable. But she made no effort to reconcile her own mutually-conflicting options, and offered little leadership. I would have preferred her to have expressed some preferences for moving the system forward instead of just agreeing with every expressed concern. I think it is a leader's role to also temper public opinion, to acknowledge that with change comes disruption as well as opportunity. There will be some pain along with the gain. She could also try to reactivate the Carling-Bayview CDP so that vulnerable chunks of the neighborhood are prepared for change as the LRT is built out. She could also attend some more of the DOTT briefings (or send her staff, or get more community association people attending) because the significant factual gaps and misunderstandings undermine the quality of decisions and leadership we expect.

Charles A-M says:
There are at least five ways to keep buses off of Scott, obviously some not very likely:
– Build all the way out to Lincoln Fields/Baseline in the first go, and avoid the whole question.
– Use Staff's proposal for the rail and put buses on the Parkway until Phase II is built
– Use Staff's proposal and force ALL buses to end at Tunney's, which will be tremendously difficult, considering (a) Feds want to build more stuff at Tunney's closer to the Transitway, (b) the station geometry doesn't allow high bus traffic at Tunney's, meaning lots of buses will have to get onto Scott at Westboro, and (c) this adds extra transfers for people transferring N-S at Bayview (going South) or Lebreton/Booth (going to Gatineau)
– End the line at Bayview instead of Tunney's and have the bus-rail transfer station at Bayview instead of Tunney's
– Keep the end of the rail line at Tunney's and the bus transfers at Tunney's and Bayview, but embed the tracks between the two stations, so that buses can continue to use the Transitway from Tunney's to Bayview and can do their turn-arounds and lay-bys there, all without going on Scott/Albert OR the Parkway. This will cause disruption during construction, but at least it won't be a long-term disruption between the end of Phase I and the end of PHase II.
Staff don't seem to be considering ANY of these options. In response to community concerns, they simply say "we'll consider it", suggesting not only that they have not begun to do so, but that they probably never will.
After reading this, I think I'm glad I didn't go to that meeting. The incoherence embedded in the City's plans have spread to the populace.
The Tunney's Pasture terminal station is a plain dumb idea. The reason we are even considering it is because staff during the TMP process had the bright idea of not taking the line at least as far west as Lincoln Fields. All this talk of buses on Scott, buses continuing downtown, etc – all comes back to the decision to cut off the west end in the first stage. No sensible rationale has yet been given for not taking the line as far as Lincoln Fields – the only reason given is that of cost. EAs and design studies along with construction can all be completed well ahead of completion of the tunnel. Where the cost issue falls down though is in the willingness to countenance large increases in the cost of the tunnel due to its depth and increased length as well as in overbuilding stations like Tunney's Pasture. In other words, the budget is open ended as far as the tunnel is concerned, but getting a sensible initial system? No budget for that.
Conspiracy theories always seem to crop up, but frankly staff can take the blame for their plentiful abounding. The TMP update process was an elaborate sham. There were online forums and discussion groups at City Hall but little of that public input appears to have been incorporated into the initial offerings beyond a general rail+tunnel theme and there was absolutely no incorporation of public input into the final version since it was the same as one of the initial offerings. The staging makes no sense. Going to Baseline but not Bayshore – even though more riders are expected from Kanata than Barrhaven – makes no sense. When things make no sense, people are wont to turn to conspiracy theories.
On a more personal level, as a resident of Westboro near the end of the trench, I'm dismayed that light rail won't be heading this way any time soon. However, I'm even more dismayed at my fellow Kitchissippi ward residents to the west – many of whom seem to like to think they're progressive and environmentally-minded – going all nuts about LRT on either the Parkway or Richmond/Byron. Thousands of buses ply that road every day. At peak periods it's a noisy environment and on calm hazy summer days it's a very polluted one as well. Light rail would end that. It could even take over the eastbound lanes and reduce the Parkway to a two-lane road like the Rockcliffe Parkway. Or on Byron… I find the objections to Byron so amusing because people don't realize what's actually going on. Buried deep in the TMP, under the roads section that Council never got around to examining, one can find reference to a future widening of Richmond Road between Carling and Golden to four lanes. There's also an entry for the RoW being reserved for this widening. And where is it? In the Byron corridor of course. The park is to be reduced to half its current width. At least LRT could be integrated better (it need not go right down the middle) and it would also avoid dumping extra lanes of traffic into Westboro by removing the possibility of ever widening Richmond. But no… clearly LRT with a train passing every few minutes on Byron or the Parkway is the big threat to quality of life in west Kitchissippi. Some people somehow think that putting LRT on Carling will resolve the west end routing problem, but all that does is strengthen the hand of the road builders who keep trying to widen Richmond since a Carling LRT would remove two east-west arterial lanes while opening the door to leaving buses to continue running on the Parkway.
Eric Darwin says:
I too am disappointed that the first phase LRT stops at Tunneys. I think it should run to Lincoln Fields or College Sq. I also think all west buses should terminate at Tunneys, except for a few 95s that would continue to Bayview, LeBreton, and Hull for the benefit of commuters going there.
The western routing is a big hurdle, and it may be wise to build only to Tunneys first, as it is 'less contentious'. Any proposal to use the ORP or Byron will be major election issues at all three govt levels. Just look at other joint lands, eg LeBreton, where it is always in someone's short term interest to come up with some objection/new scheme.And if Byron is a tunnel, a major expense and precedent for all subsequent routes to be tunnels.

Wallace B. says:
I attended, and spoke at, the meeting – and agree with many of your observations. The Councillor was all over the map, her presentation was extremely one-sided and deliberatley designed to skew people's views, and was so last-minute (the night before Council's vote to approve/reject the phase 1 aligment) as to make it impossible for individuals or community associations to formulate and communicate their positions to Council. It was one of the reasons I was the first at the microphone to endorse the idea of the province stepping in to take control over the entire rapid transit project as I have lost all confidence in the ability of the City (both at the staff and political levels) to move any of this forward. The loud applause that followed suggests that I'm not alone on this.
Wallace B.
have little faith in council. All seem too short term focus, too parochial. No one is looking at the big picture.
Despite the complaints, most of the "good" things we have in Ottawa come from the only agency that takes the long view, the NCC. Of course, if you read my other blogs, I know big govt makes big mistakes.
Another excellent reason for the prov agency to take over building the LRT is that they might feel guilty building a cheapo system here compared to the big bucks that flow into toronto/gta. They might actually feel inclined to build it to big city standards.

The International Pool I Spa I Patio Expo (PSP) has partnered with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), co-locating their event – the APLD International Landscape Design Conference – with the 2014 International Pool I Spa I Patio Expo in Orlando, Florida. This partnership is sure to bring attendees of both events a unique designer landscape experience at the expo.
The Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) is an international organization to advance the profession of landscape design and to promote the recognition of landscape designers as qualified and dedicated professionals. The International Landscape Design Conference is APLD's annual event where they provide landscape design professionals impressive and critical education and networking opportunities.
At the 2013 APLD Conference, APLD partnered with Genesis 3, show endorser for the PSP expo, to present water shape design and construction education at their event. This unique partnership created a natural dynamic for the co-location event at the 2014 PSP expo in Orlando.
Taking place November 5-7, in the North Hall of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, the PSP expo will offer pool/spa builders, retailers, service companies, designers and landscape architects from both residential and commercial segments, a comprehensive product preview and educational conference covering the entire backyard living marketplace.
"APLD is pleased to partner with the PSP Expo this year. We believe this relationship will bring a new and exciting dimension to our conference and we are anxious to invite our members to attend the Expo," says Denise Calabrese, executive director, APLD.APLD and their members will produce a 1,000 sq. ft. designer landscape pavilion at the show, a beautiful addition to this year's expo floor. In addition, attendees of both events will be able to attend a keynote presentation, provided by APLD, by Ray Jungles, an American landscape architect whose private garden and resort hotel landscape designs have been honored with over 35 design awards. APLD conference attendees will have the unique opportunity to enjoy the PSP expo's expansive 150,000 sq. ft. of backyard living exhibits on the show floor.
The co-location event of the 2014 PSP expo and the APLD Conference will be held Nov. 5-7, 2014, at the Orange County Convention Center in sunny Orlando, Florida, with the educational conference occurring Nov. 2-7. Registration for both events will open this June. Get notified when registration opens.

Robert Gould Shaw Memorial facts for kids
Robert Gould Shaw Memorial
Augustus Saint-Gaudens
3.4 m × 4.3 m (11 ft × 14 ft)
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
42°21′27″N 71°3′48.6″W / 42.35750°N 71.063500°W / 42.35750; -71.063500
The Memorial to Robert Gould Shaw and the Massachusetts Fifty-Fourth Regiment is a bronze relief sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens opposite 24 Beacon Street, Boston (at the edge of the Boston Common). It depicts Colonel Robert Gould Shaw leading members of the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry as it marched down Beacon Street on May 28, 1863 to depart the city to fight in the South. The sculpture was unveiled on May 31, 1897. This is the first civic monument to pay homage to the heroism of African American soldiers.
The monument marks Shaw's death on July 18, 1863 after he and his troops attacked Fort Wagner, one of two forts protecting the strategic Confederate port of Charleston, South Carolina. Joshua Bowen Smith, a Massachusetts state legislator, led the effort to obtain authorization for the monument; others participating in its early planning included Governor John Albion Andrew, who had urged Shaw to take command of the 54th Regiment, Samuel Gridley Howe, and Senator Charles Sumner. The monument was meant to show the public's gratitude to Shaw and commemorate the events that recognized the citizenship of Black men.
Fundraising for the monument, led by the survivors of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and emancipated Black people from Beaufort, South Carolina, began immediately after the battle, but funds were redirected because the Beaufort site was found unsuitable and local white people expressed resentment.
The monument was vandalized in 2012, 2015, and 2017. On May 31, 2020, as part of the 2020 George Floyd protests, the back of the monument was vandalized with different phrases. As part of a renovation plan, the front had been covered with plywood, which also received graffiti.
Restoration of the monument began on May 20, 2020, and is expected to be completed in January 2021. The memorial will be removed and taken to an offsite location for restoration that is scheduled to take five to six months. While the bronze sculpture is being cleaned and repaired, a new concrete foundation will be built. The project will cost $2.8 million and includes an augmented reality mobile app that will assist visitors in experiencing the monument. There will be new signage detailing the history of the Civil War, the 54th Regiment, and the monument itself, with QR codes for the AR app.
In July 2020, the monument became a focus of discussion during the iconoclasm that took place as part of the George Floyd protests.
Dedications and inscriptions
Saint-Gaudens created distinct features for each of the African-American soldiers, distinguishing them as individuals, along with their commanding officer. The work was dedicated by philosopher William James of Harvard:
There they march, warm-blooded champions of a better day for man. There on horseback among them, in his very habit as he lived, sits the blue-eyed child of fortune, upon whose happy youth every divinity had smiled.
—Oration by William James at the exercises in the Boston Music Hall, May 31, 1897, upon the unveiling of the Shaw Monument.
A Latin inscription on the relief reads OMNIA RELINQVIT / SERVARE REMPVBLICAM ("He left behind everything to save the Republic"). The pedestal below carries lines from James Russell Lowell's poem "Memoriae Positum":
Right in the van of the red rampart's slippery
swell with heart that beat a charge he fell
foeward as fits a man: but the high soul burns
on to light men's feet where death for noble
ends makes dying sweet.
On the rear are words by Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard University:
The White Officers taking life and honor in their hands cast in their lot with men of a despised race unproven in war and risked death as inciters of servile insurrection if taken prisoners besides encountering all the common perils of camp march and battle. The Black rank and file volunteered when disaster clouded the Union Cause. Served without pay for eighteen months till given that of white troops. Faced threatened enslavement if captured. Were brave in action. Patient under heavy and dangerous labors. And cheerful amid hardships and privations. Together they gave to the Nation and the World undying proof that Americans of African descent possess the pride, courage and devotion of the patriot soldier. One hundred and eighty thousand such Americans enlisted under the Union Flag in MDCCCLXIII–MDCCCLXV. [1863-1865]
Restored plaster cast at the National Gallery of Art
A plaster cast, which was exhibited at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, is displayed at the National Gallery of Art, on loan by the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, Cornish, New Hampshire. The inscription running along the bottom of this plaster cast incorrectly states that the assault on Fort Wagner and Shaw's death in 1863 occurred "JULY TWENTY THIRD," five days later than the historic events.

Out now: The Lost Art of the Short Game
October 15, 2021 /in Blog /by Dan Murphy
New book release: The Lost Art of the Short Game by Gary Nicol and Karl Morris – with a foreword from Bob Vokey, the godfather of wedges
Long-awaited new title from the authors of the double Amazon bestsellers, The Lost Art of Putting and The Lost Art of Playing Golf, completes the Lost Art trilogy
The Lost Art of the Short Game by Gary Nicol and Karl Morris explores the way golfers interact with chipping, pitching and bunker play.
It will help readers to embrace the challenge and relish the opportunity to show their skills and touch around the greens.
This book has the power to make golfers feel differently about the game as a whole by freeing them from the shackles they have self-imposed on their short games.
The Lost Art of the Short Game follows on from the Amazon best-sellers The Lost Art of Putting and The Lost Art of Playing Golf and becomes the third title in the 'Lost Art' series. The trio of books is also available as The Lost Art of Golf Collection box set, with a limitied edition case.
It is the belief of leading tour coach Gary Nicol and performance coach Karl Morris, who have 60 years' combined coaching experience, that we have somehow lost connection with the artistry of playing shots around the greens.
It will appeal to all those golfers who struggle to remember the last time they were truly enthusiastic about their short game – and can barely remember a time when they approached pitching, chipping and playing bunker shots with relish.
Born in Scotland, Gary Nicol turned professional in 1988. Since then, he has travelled the world coaching golfers of all standards from weekend players to tour pros including Ryder Cup players, Olympians and winners of major championships. Gary is a certified TrackMan Master and Mind Factor coach and is based at the stunning Archerfield Links on Scotland's Golf Coast.
Karl Morris has been involved in performance coaching for 30 years. In that time, he has worked with multiple major winners in golf – including Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell – Ashes-winning captains in cricket as well as Premier League and international footballers. His passion has always been to make mental game coaching both practical and applicable.
The Lost Art of the Short Game was edited by experienced golf writer Dan Murphy.
It has a foreword from by the godfather of wedges, Bob Vokey, and also features a host of expert contributors, including Andrew Coltart, Mike Clayton and Dean Robertson.
The book is available to buy now at thelostartofgolf.com and costs £19.95. It is also possible to buy all three books together in a special presentation pack.

Which native group caught fish for food?
How did sinkholes help the Maya?
What were the advantages and disadvantages for the Maya of living in the rain forest?
Why did the Maya seek captives in war?
Did the Maya invent the wheel?
Which civilization came to a mysterious end?
Why is the Mayan counting base 20?
How did the Native Americans in the Desert Southwest adapt to their environment? The Native Americans in the Desert Southwest adapted to their environment by building houses of adobe instead of trees. They learned to farm in the desert and found crops that would grow in the desert environment. You just studied 9 terms!
The Inuit (Eskimos) and some Indian tribes of the far north relied almost entirely on hunting and fishing to survive.
How did sinkholes help the Maya? Sinkholes gave the Maya access to a network of underground rivers and streams. But, swamps and sinkholes gave the Maya a year-round source of water.
What were the advantages and disadvantages for the Maya of living in the rain forest? The warmth of the sun and the water with a variety of plants were advantages. However, the soil was very thin and was weak to grow crops on. How did Native American groups on the Pacific coast differ from those in the Southwest?
Why did the Maya seek captives in war? ( They wanted to sacrifice them to their god named Chac to get his favor.) ( They could join the noble class by performing one act of bravery in war. They, or their children if the soldier died, received land and the rank of noble.)
While it is certainly true that the Maya did not possess the potter's wheel, they did make use of a device called the k'abal. This was a wooden disk that rested on a smooth board between the potter's feet. the k'abal was not unlike the potter's wheel that had been in use in the Old World for over five thousand years.
The Maya are perhaps the classic example of a civilization that was completely lost, its great monuments, cities and roads swallowed up by the central American jungles, and its peoples scattered to small villages.
The Mayan numeral system was the system to represent numbers and calendar dates in the Maya civilization. It was a vigesimal (base-20) positional numeral system. Numbers after 19 were written vertically in powers of twenty. The Maya used powers of twenty, just as the Hindu–Arabic numeral system uses powers of tens.

Aerospace Policy Paper Explores the Next Steps in Space Development
April 22, 2018 April 17, 2018 Doug Messier News 4 Comments
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aerospace Corporation PR) – The Aerospace Corporation's Center for Space Policy and Strategy (CSPS) released a new policy paper that explores future opportunities in cislunar space—essentially, the space inside the moon's orbit and the orbital area around the moon.
Cislunar Development: What to Build— and Why discusses the possible applications for cislunar space—for example, outposts on the moon, extraterrestrial mining operations, interplanetary waystations—and determines the infrastructure that will be needed to realize those ambitious goals. Author Dr. James Vedda, senior policy analyst with CSPS, says that the cislunar region remains a largely underdeveloped resource, and any coherent, long-term strategy for space commerce and exploration will need to make better use of it.
"An enduring, multi-purpose space infrastructure means more than just rockets and spacecraft," said Vedda. "It needs a wide range of capabilities, such as inter-orbital transportation, on-orbit servicing, standardization, fuel storage, energy distribution, communication and navigation services, resource extraction, and materials processing."
Vedda added that visions for cislunar development have been proposed by public and private stakeholders in spacefaring countries, but no widespread consensus on what to build and how to build it has emerged.
"Most of these concepts have focused on small aspects of the overarching design—but to truly realize the enormous potential of cislunar space, infrastructure projects should strive for broad applicability, beyond a single mission or short-term series of missions for a single agency."
Dr. Jamie Morin, executive director for CSPS, echoed those sentiments, noting, "Investment in cislunar development makes sense as a strategy for boosting U.S. space commerce and expanding the human footprint in the solar system. Building an effective space infrastructure will involve a mix of government agencies and private-sector entrepreneurs from around the world, so collaboration between the public and private sectors and across national lines will be key."
About the Center for Space Policy and Strategy

Prince Philip: a servant in the shadows

Prince Phillip a servant in the shadows.
London, England (ANS) – UK evangelist and author J. John has paid tribute to Prince Philip who passed away at the age of 99 last week.
"I confess to having followed the life of Prince Philip with some interest. After all, we both started life as Greeks, were born on islands, brought up in the Orthodox Church and ended up as very British Anglicans," reflects J. John who is a Church of England Canon.
"In fact, trying to add anything meaningful to the mountain of material generated by the passing of Prince Philip is a daunting task. Nevertheless, I think one aspect that has not been considered adequately is his extraordinary role as a servant. In Christian circles we frequently pay lip service to the idea of being a servant. Although it's a concept that is easy to embrace in an age and culture where most of us are unfamiliar with the practice of being a servant, I do wonder whether we understand the reality. To be a servant demands two things: first, you must make the needs of someone else your priority; second, you put yourself in a subordinate position. To make your well-being second to someone else's is a tough call.
Canon J. John
"Prince Philip became a servant and played the role well. And let me remind you, it's not a task he was born to. With his origins within Europe's noble families, his outstanding education and his natural gifting of courage and intelligence, he was born to be a leader not a follower. In another time and place one can well imagine him as the respected monarch of some European kingdom. To be forced to walk 'two steps behind' was never his natural position in life. Indeed, he may well have had some expectations of not having to play the role of consort to Her Majesty until much later in life: after all, George VI was only fifty-six when he died. The result was, however, that within five years of his marriage Prince Philip found himself thrust not so much into the limelight as into the shadows. And there he stayed, loyal and supportive, for nearly seventy years.
"We don't need the imaginations of The Crown to know that being consort to the Queen was not an easy role to play. The press has made much of Prince Philip's occasional gaffe but there must have been countless occasions when he was forced to bite his tongue. I do wonder how often when, safe in the privacy of Balmoral or Buckingham Palace, he let off a steam of frustration at all that he had been forced to endure. Convention demands that the monarch is above criticism; there is no such protection for her spouse and Prince Philip took a lot of abuse. To choose to be a servant is to offer yourself as a sacrifice.
"Prince Philip's life reminds us that as Christians we are to be servants. In an age of celebrity culture, taking a step back does not come easily. The Greek word for servant or slave doulos – Prince Philip would have known it well – occurs over a hundred times across the New Testament. It has three great focal points: Christ, the King above all who became the servant for all (Philippians 2:7); the way that we who follow him are to reciprocate by being his servants; and the way in which we are to be the servants of others.
"One of the glories of Christianity – unknown and unsung in this life but not, we are promised, in the next – are those men and women who have given up their own pleasures, priorities and power in order to loyally serve Christ or each other. In practice, as Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:40, to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ is to serve him.
"Prince Philip bore the burden of servanthood to serve an earthly monarch. Well done! But his life is a reminder that, whether it be at home, at work or in church, we should do likewise. After all, the wonder of Christian service is that we do it for the greatest of monarchs, the greatest of causes and, ultimately, for the greatest of all rewards."
