This week we invited Dr. Schumaker to lead our discussion. Dr. Schumaker is a professor in the Letters and Constitutional Studies department at OU. She selected this week's article, "The Case for Reparations" by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The article was published in The Atlantic in June of 2014. It argues that reparations, simply as an idea, need to be explored, investigated, and studied. Reparations are means to make amends for wrong-doings, and in this context would be actions by society to amend the gross abuse of Black Americans throughout our history.
In this article, Coates writes about the systematic oppression of Black Americans, particularly post slavery. He explains redlining, the practice of discrimination based on the racial makeup of a person's neighborhood, most often used in the context of extending credit or providing insurance coverage. Redlining is a type of de facto discrimination which economically disadvantages Black Americans. Private corporations, homeowners' loan associations, banks, and even local neighborhood committees perpetuate this system of chipping away property value based on the racial makeup of an area.
The electronic article includes an interesting interactive map feature which allows the reader to observe redlining in action in conjunction with unemployment and vacancy from 1950-2010. The interactive census is shockingly representative of the phenomenon which most people like to believe ended in 1964. It is clear which neighborhoods are poor, and those neighborhoods naturally coincide with unemployment and vacancy, but also race.
In his documentation of the exploitation of Black Americans, Coates mentions two significant reparations. Bank of America and Wells Fargo paid $355 and $175 million respectively in reparations for targeting Black Americans during the subprime mortgage housing crisis in 2007. If those sums were decided for such a recent, short-lived (however powerful) crisis, how much would the United States have to pay to rectify the damage of the past 435 years of discrimination and abuse?
My favorite part of the article was Chapter X: "There will be no 'reparations' from Germany." I found this final chapter extremely interesting because it compares the United States and its treatment of Black Americans to Germany and its treatment of the Jews. In our tailored history courses, we learn again and again about the horrors of Auschwitz and the evil Nazis who persecuted the Jews. We are taught the Holocaust each time we discuss WWII. We feel triumphant when the United States takes the moral high ground in Paris, and we think the terms treaties are too merciful. Never in these history classes do we learn about redlining. We don't discuss the horrors of being colored in the United States. Our teachers fail to tell us that Nazis sent their scouts to the United States in order to learn about Jim Crow, so that they could implement something similar with the Jews. Coates writes that only 5% of Germans in 1952 reported feeling guilty about the Holocaust. I wonder what that number would be in the United States. How many of us even know about the oppression of Black Americans post slavery or post Jim Crow? How many of us feel like society and/or the government owes its Black population reparations?
We strongly suggest you read the article. It covers subjects that curriculum in schools fails to discuss or even mention.

Two and a half years of absence are coming to an end today. The main reason for not being active on our website anymore was simply the internet connection. In general there wasn't a lot to catch on a remote island in Wakatobi (Indonesia) and secondly we are reglemented to a very small amount per week which doesn't allow to up- or download anything basically. Holiday to the rescue!
Another reason for inactivity is content related. Yoeri's camera stopped working after our time in Komodo (see final clip on: Where are you going?). The pictures of my old Pentax started to have annoying spots in multiple places and there was never any housing available to begin with. Only a couple of months ago we finally treated ourselves to new camera equipment – and are totally excited to put it to good use in 2019 and beyond.
We had our first dives on the House Reef and, of course, I created some postcards which are part of the bigger collection Warm regards.
My new camera is a Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and I have a nauticam housing. In the beginning I didn't have a strobe yet, so all pictures of this collection are taken with natural light only and the LUMIX G Vario 14-42 with the wide angle conversion port from Nauticam. Looking forward to new projects and adventures in 2019. One of my new years resolutions: Follow my passion – in and outside the water: Create, share, inform and get active!


In the foyer is a full sized statue of Kupe, his wife and his tohunga.
Kupe named an area along the beach after his marae in Tahiti, Taputapuatea. The family room houses photos of settler families who have been here for over one hundred years, and aerial photos showing the development of the township of Whitianga and the wider Mercury Bay area.
Down the ramp into the Museum is a display of artifacts, then onto the history of the tangata whenua. There is an exhibition of the wreck of HMS Buffalo, (1840) and a Coastal Port exhibition. Further into the Museum is the agricultural exhibition, including the butter churn standing in the same spot as it did when the building was a butter factory. There is a 1953 school room, a nature display of birds of this area, a blacksmith shop and the very popular Kauri Room.
Right across the wharf and the ferry service, our Museum stands on an historic site, as before the dairy factory was built it was the site of the Kauri Timber Company Mill. Prior to that, the site was an urupa; the two crew members who lost their lives in the HMS Buffalo were buried there.

Home Politics Gov Soludo Increases Anambra Workers Salaries By 10%, Assures Of Staff Welfare
Gov Soludo Increases Anambra Workers Salaries By 10%, Assures Of Staff Welfare
Governor Soludo has increased Anambra State workers salaries by 10% and assured of staff welfare, Solutionreporters report.
Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR has increased wages of civil servants across the boards by 10%. He also promised to give them N15,000 for Christmas bonus.
The Governor made the declaration at the celebration of the 2022 Public Service Day that held at the Anambra Secretariat Complex Awka.
The theme of the event was titled; "Performance Management System: Impact on the Nigerian Public Service.
"Given my own background as a worker, what we are not able to do for the working class, you must understand it is literally impossible," Soludo reiterated.
"In the issue of Christmas rice, we reviewed how it's done in the past. The cost of it is way beyond.
"I understand in previous years that past Government gave 25kg bag of rice to civil servants for Christmas.
"The state of Nigeria is bad. Everybody is complaining. Prices are rising very fast, I look at you and wonder how you cope.
"Today, 50kg bag of rice costs over N40,000. That's beyond the salary of a graduate in the public service. Something is not right!
"What we will do instead, between today and tomorrow, we will first of all make sure that more than our 24000 pensioners are taken care of, to demonstrate good faith. I wish we could do much more but today, you will receive an alert of N15000 for Christmas bonus", Soludo assured.
"The income is not increasing, the revenue of the government is not increasing. We cannot print money. What used to cost to power the Secretariat in an hour is three to four times what it costs before.
"I understand what you feel and wish that our revenue will go up so we can multiply it in proportion to Nigeria's inflation.
"The Head of Service made a request for releasing funds to process promotion.
"We have made the budget for next year and it has been signed. Any new thing not in the budget can't be done.
"I received a report a few days ago recommending minor adjustments in salaries. We will review it and see what is feasible", Soludo stated.
"From February to date, NNPC has not remitted a dime to the federation account and our state of finances means we can't do everything at the same time but, we have to prioritize that's why we are collecting taxes.
"Next year, Lagos is expecting to collect 100 billion naira a month from IGR while Anambra is aiming at 3 billion naira. But I assure ndi Anambra that any money that comes into our hands, we will utilize them judiciously", Soludo promised.
"Last year public service day, I was here to plead for your votes. Today, I have appeared to you as the Governor of this state. You employed me as your Chief servant and I am your employee.
"I thank you for your services to Anambra. I am the Chief Public Servant and without you, there will be no public service.
"Anything Government is delivering, we have 21 commissioners, the ministries and agencies. They constitute what is making Anambra to be what is it today. I commend all the ministries and staff of Anambra State Public Service.

"I congratulate the 33 selected awardees specially recognized but it doesn't mean others aren't working hard.
"I also commend the commissioners, Managing Directors and Head of Parastatals.
"I told the Head of Service that it is not within her remit to decide who did well or not. You can have that for people who are under you. You can't tell me which commissioner did well. I needed to clarify that to avoid creating dysfunctionality within the Government because they are your colleagues.
"That aside, each ministry delivered something this year. We started our work on the 17th of March this year.
"We promised to create a liveable and prosperous homeland. This is our mission and you all shall deliver it. We delivered this message through the head of service.
"We are not supposed to be celebrating public service at this time of the year but I insisted, to thank you all for the year 2022 before we cross over into 2023", Soludo said
"Our five fingers of Government includes; Security, law and order; Economic transformation, social agenda, reforming ways government works and environment.
"8 local governments were taken over by criminals when we came into power and we have taken over our land from criminals. We have driven them away from our bushes and forests.
"One mad man in Finland declared 5 days sit at home but in Anambra, the sit at home was not observed", Soludo said.
"We will get back to work full scale, working 5 days in a week. When we work four days and our children go to school only four days, we won't deliver the same thing as those who work for five days.
"We must take back our state otherwise, we are losing 20% each week. Security, law and order must come back fully into Anambra. Kidnappers and criminals must give way in our state.
"100% of those we have caught are Igbos but it must come to an end", Soludo assured.
"We are launching regenerative agriculture, trying to get major industrial parks to work, we are signing MOU with EEDC to ensure there's 24 hours provision of power especially in the three major cities of the state.
"Streetlights are coming back. It's not possible to keep powering them with diesel now a litre is over N800. We are replacing them with solar because it is more sustainable and strategic.
"On the road, we declared a state of emergency because Anambra has a road crisis. We have awarded over 250km of roads.
"Within the next 24 months we must deliver and it will be unprecedented in the state. We have just been in the office for 9 months but things are happening.
"In our social agenda, we are ending the era of hospitals without doctors, nurses and consultants. We have recruited over 200 personnel in our general Hospitals.
"We handed appointment letters to 5000 teachers within 9 months of our regime. It is 100% merit based, openly transparent and we are looking for the best no matter where you come from. The interest of the child should be taught by the best teacher available and this is what we have set out to do.
"Teaching is a vocation and calling, it is not just a job! What we have done is unique in Anambra Teaching Service and I hope they have received their December salaries", said Soludo.

"We celebrate our public servants most especially our teachers because everyone was taught by a teacher.
"5000 youths are currently undergoing various training, one youth two skill program and by next year, we will be dishing out several billions to empower them.
"In security, we have recruited vigilantes and empowered other security apparatus to keep Anambra safe", Soludo said.
"We have a slogan, "cut all cutables and boycott all bycottables." That is the way we are managing resources and that's how we are paying the bills.
"When we came in, pensioners haven't received their gratuities since 2018 but we thought it's not the way to go. To watch these retirees work for over 30 years without gratuities, we felt it was painful.
"Under my watch, everyone that retired at the Anambra public service has been paid their gratuities as at 2018. We are doing the payments gradually to restore hope to them.
"There are about 16 states having difficulty paying salaries but, Anambra insists that on the 25th of every month, workers will continue to receive their salaries. We are not taking it for granted. We will continue to pay workers as at when due. That's our commitment. I am a public servant and understand how it feels", Soludo concluded.
The Head of Service, Barrister Theodore Igwegbe in her opening address thanked God for keeping everyone alive to witness the first public service day under the new administration.
"We recognize, reward hardwork and excellence of colleagues who have distinguished themselves in the discharge of their duties.
"We rededicate our service to discipline and service delivery to our people," she stated.
"It is a annual event slated for 23rd of June every year but every state is entitled to fix their own date.
"The theme of the event is coming at a time our state has transited to a new administration, giving account to the stewardship to the people.
"Public service is bound on public trust", she said
"The Federal Government of Nigeria developed a framework to institutionalize public service. In the development of civil service, I came up with a development plan and a blue print designed and approved by the Anambra EXCO on 8th of August 2022.
"They are aligned to the vision of Governor soludo's administration. The systematic core areas are underlisted as follows: Capacity building, performance management, service delivery, anti-corruption, value proposition and digitization", she pointed out.
"On Staff welfare, enumeration and reward, states should review staff salaries, promotions and reward system. It will make the service attractive to pools of talents and make workers motivated to give their best at all times.
"A proposal of the full minimum wage have been submitted and we await due approval.
"Civil services buses have degraded badly and have been in the workshop for 3 years. The Governor have approved repairs for the buses pending when new buses are provided", she said.
"12 states in Nigeria are owing 1 months salaries and 8 states are owing 6 months salaries.
"Mr Governor has graciously paid leave allowance for 2022 and December salaries", she noted.
ALSO READ: Gov Soludo Officially Ends Sit-At-Home In Anambra
"Declining efficiency, productivity, low morale of workers are some of the challenges of civil servants.
"Our appeal to Mr Governor is for the full implementation and consideration of the national minimum wage in the state, upward review of salaries to litigate economic challenges of the country, appeal for approval of funds for civil service commission to conduct 2023 promotion interviews, appeal for provision for official cars for permanent secretaries and directors as done in the past, provision of work tools, computers and procurement of buses to ease transportation challenges of civil servants.
"We also plead for appointment of permanent secretaries as present ones are in charge of two ministries which is presently affecting productivity, Billboards for Jerome Udoji Secretariat Complex Awka, desilting of drainages in the complex, office furniture procurement for use in the offices, repainting of buildings and fence of the Secretariat Complex.
"We promise and pledge our full dedication and commitment to you and your Government. we vow to work assiduously, to ensure your vision for the state is judiciously implemented," she assured.

Countdown Begins for Bumper Flower Festival
Wednesday, 15th October 2014
Officially, gardeners will say, it's the onset of spring, and the emergence of pink and white blossoms on trees, including the wild plums scattered around town, confirms that our Flower Festival is around the corner.
Heather Surridge, convenor of the Grahamstown Flower Festival to
be held in the 1820 Settlers National Monument in Grahamstown over
the weekend of November 1 and 2, was all smiles last week as she
announced details of this year's festival programme, buoyed by the
fact that gardeners can now begin giving undivided attention to their
gardens.
Mindful of the water woes that Grahamstown has been
experiencing of late, Surridge said that last Friday's rain in town
should have filled all the Jo-Jo water tanks in town, and there should
be water aplenty for gardens in the weeks to come.
She specifically mentioned Jo-Jo Tanks as they are one of the main
flower festival sponsors, and the company's Eugene Cerino will talk
about the positive aspects of owning a Jo-Jo water tank.
"At the conclusion of his talk, a lucky-draw will be made, and one
of those attending his talk will go home with a new Jo-Jo water tank,"
said Surridge.
Cerino will be one of six speakers and workshop presenters at the
two-day event.
Ian Weir of Essential Amathole at Hogsback will talk about an
essential oils project based on an innovative partnership model, while
Bruce MacFarlane will present a workshop dealing with the
propagation and feeding of orchids, and how to enter them into
competitions.
Gary Burgess from Port Alfred trains and mentors new entrants
into the field of aquaponics, and will talk about innovations, new
products and how to use them. Adele Steck of Red Leaf Nursery in
Port Alfred will present a children's workshop dealing with
succulents and egg-shell halves. Bonsai growing is Les Kingma's passion, and his workshop deals
with creating a miniature landscape using trees, rocks and moss to
create a natural forest.
Surridge said that for many years the main focus of local flower
shows and flower festivals has been the flower competitions for adults
and children, and this year will be no different.
"The flower competition will be held in the area surrounding the
fountain and should attract a multitude of blooms in many different
shapes, sizes and colours," she enthused.
Once again, a good number of commercial stalls will form part of
the flower festival, and they will be displaying and selling pretty
much everything associated with gardens and gardening, and more.
Besides the children's flower arranging competition, they will be
taking part in their treasure hunt.
"This year's musical entertainment comes in the form of two very
different genres of music – bagpipes and steelbands," added Surridge.
She said the Graeme College steelband will perform at 1pm on the
Saturday, and the St Andrew's College pipe band at 1pm on the

CHUWI, makers of affordable tablets and laptop PCs, is at it again, with what might be their most exciting project yet. Yesterday, the company officially announced plans to create the Ubook, a slim 2-in-1 tablet PC with up to 1TB in storage. Unlike their other 2-in-1 PCs, the Ubook clearly takes inspiration from the HP Spectre and Microsoft Surface Go but plans to deliver those features at a sub-$400 price point.
If you've never seen PCs like the Sceptre, the idea is simple: pair a high-powered tablet with a high-quality docking keyboard and trackpad, and load it up with Windows 10; the project, in essence, is a laptop with a detachable screen and pressure sensitive stylus. You can use it like a PC when you're working at your desk and on the production floor or classroom when you need to take notes.
CHUWI isn't skimping on the specs, either. The Ubook is planned to ship with an Intel Core M3 dual core, four thread processor clocked to 2.2GHz and an Intel HD Graphics 515 integrated GPU. 8GB of DDR3 will ensure snappy performance even with multiple tasks open and a 30.4 watt-hour battery will deliver the juice required for long sessions of work and play. You can opt for a full 1TB SSD, too, or keep things a bit smaller at 128GB in an alternate version. The screen should also look crisp with a FHD 1920×1080 resolution on an 11.6 inch display.
Often, 2-in-1 PCs suffer from a lack of IO. CHUWI knows this and is included an impressive array of connectivity options. The Ubook will have two USB-A ports and a third USB Type-C. You'll have a microSD expansion slot for additional storage, headphone and microphone ports, and a Micro HDMI for use with an external display.

Coming Up on YouTube: the Bach Choir of Bethlehem's Beloved Annual Christmas Concert—Virtually—December 13th at 4pm EST
December 8, 2020Michael Miller
Those who have read my articles and reviews of the Bach Choir of Bethlehem's work, at least the Christmas Concert and the Bach Festival, will understand just how close these events are to the hearts, not only of inhabitants of the Lehigh Valley, but to an extensive community of Bach-lovers, former members of the local audience and the outstanding, mostly amateur choir, who have moved away, and people who have heard the Bach Choir sing once or twice, or more, and travel considerable distances to attend the concerts.
John Luther Adams' "Ten Thousand Birds" Performed by Alarm Will Sound under Alan Pierson at PS 21
September 2, 2020Michael Miller
Elena Siyanko, Executive Director of PS21, in her introductory comments preceding Alarm Will Sound's performance of John Luther Adams' Ten Thousand Birds, said that this event has been in the works for a year. Its purpose, conceived months before there was any hint in people's minds that the performance would occur under the restrictions imposed by the pandemic which continues without an end in sight, at least in the United States. The particular features of the new performance structure and the determination and resourcefulness of Ms. Siyanko and her staff have made PS21 a pioneer in offering live performances under safe conditions. The performance of Ten Thousand Birds was intended to showcase the new PS21 and its new semi-open performance space to the public. The beautiful grounds surrounding it are in integral part of its design and function in a way quite different from Tanglewood and SPAC, where lawns simply provide expanded seating for those who prefer to be out in the open.
Public Concerts Resume at PS21 in Chatham, New York—Second Concert: Beethoven by the Calidore String Quartet
July 30, 2020Michael Miller
PS21 was founded by the late Judy Grunberg in 1999 with the mission of presenting advanced and diverse performances of music, dance, and theater, as well as some film screenings. Under her leadership as President of the Board, local residents and some from further away enjoyed lively summer programs performed in an ingenious plastic stage-cum-shelter in the middle of a field. Before her passing in 2019, she initiated the construction of an equally ingenious and certainly more elegant permanent structure which could be used from autumn through spring. A 300-seat theater open on three sides functions as the summer venue. Its stage house can be converted into a black box theater seating 99, providing a more intimate space for performances that need it. It was designed by a local architect, Evan Stoller, son of the legendary architectural photographer, Ezra Stoller.

Our Time, a Collage of Records from Williams, a 90th Birthday Tribute to Stephen Sondheim ('50) at Williams College – a Review
In considering how to approach this review of Our Time, a Collage of Records from Williams, directed by Omar Sangare, Professor of Theatre, I came to the conclusion that it was imperative to concentrate not only on the title of the production, which seems neutral enough at first glance, but how it was described in the official announcement. As a co-production of the Williams Theatre Department and "Sondheim@90@Williams," to honor the 90th birthday of Stephen Sondheim as an illustrious member of Williams Class of 1950[1. for which the Williams Music Department also organized a day-and-a-half symposium about the composer and his work], Our Time was presented "in celebration" of this birthday. That final phrase might lead us to expect a revue of Mr. Sondheim's most-loved tunes with a new, student-generated book encasing them, but Our Time was nothing of the sort.
Happy Birthday, Stephen Sondheim! …from his alma mater, Williams College
Stephen Sondheim turns 90 today. His alma mater, Williams College, chose to honor her renowned alumnus with a musical production entitled Our Time, a Collage of Records from Williams, which brings life at the college between 1946-1950 (when Sondheim was a student there) back to life. This compilation of stories, devised Ilya Khodosh, '08, and Omar Sangare, has been chosen by current students; who, by research, selected stories to share from the stage. At the end of the show, there is also a story delivered by a video message by Stephen Sondheim, himself. Only two of the five scheduled performances took place before the spread of the Corona virus necessitated the cancellation of further performances. Happily, they were recorded on video, and Williams can now honor its son and audiences can enjoy this musical reminiscence.
Le Nozze Di Figaro at the Met
February 13, 2020Michael Miller
In Sir Richard Eyre's complex production, which premiered on opening night, September 2014, Rob Howell's rotating set looms oppressively over the Almavivas and their household, as it reaches up towards the catwalks like a cross between a spire of La Sagrada Família and a decaying oil tank. I don't say this in disparagement. The set is highly effective. Rotating as it does, it can present small rooms, like the one intended for Susanna and Figaro, larger rooms, like the Countess' bedroom, and very large spaces like the great hall, dividing the expanse of the Met's stage into a central and flanking areas, as well as some space above, when called for. We can also see from one space into another, allowing us to get glimpses of the goings-on in other parts of the building—daily life in a noblman's country residence. Its ornament suggests the Moorish, with hints more implied than defined of the Gothic and Baroque, and leans more to Lorenzo da Ponte's original indication, "il castello del Conte Almaviva"[1. sometimes replaced, as the libretto is reprinted, by Beaumarchais' "le château d'Aguas Frescas à trois lieues de Séville," accordingly translated.] than "an elegant Spanish villa." And the set tells its story...a story of decay.

Burundi is a small, landlocked country in central Africa. Linguistically diverse and very rural, the country nonetheless suffers from under-development, high corruption, political instability and violence.
The instability of Burundi brings a number of security concerns. Having suffered conflict in recent years several parts of the country still harbour unexploded ordnance, posing a significant risk to all personnel travelling in these areas.
The country's institutions also remain weak, underdeveloped and limited in their ability to respond to future unrest, or indeed any sort of crisis at all.
Large swathes of society are highly aggrieved and discontented, bringing a risk of future demonstrations. These demonstrations could be disruptive and could involve a high degree of violence.
There is a residual risk posed by terrorism, with some incidents occurring in recent years. Attacks could take place in the future and involve a high number of casualties, but for now they are likely to remain infrequent.
While the national homicide rate is slightly above the world average the overall rate of crime is relatively low. Nonetheless, with poor police and judicial capabilities and likely poor reporting of crime statistics, travellers should consider there to be a risk of opportunistic crime.
Have in case a satellite phone or tracker as back up with you while traveling in Burundi and around. Personally I would go for Iridium when it's about satellite. Also in case of shutting offs of breakdowns of GSM networks in a political crisis, natural disaster, … an iridium is good to stay connected and for your peace of mind!
YES vote on May 17th on constitutional amendments enables President Pierre Nkurunziza to stay for up to further 16 years in power. That may destabilize the fragile Hutu-Tutsi ethnic balance in country and lead to violent escalations and a deterioration of the security situation in Burundi. Travelers and expats in country should carefully observe the development of situation and define for themselves reasonable triggers for safety and security measures.
Taxis aren't always safe. Private drivers via your accommodation might be a safer bet.
The country experiences two rainy seasons, one from February to May and another from September to November.
President Nkurunziza is looking to hold a referendum in early 2018 on changing the constitution to allow him to serve for additional 7-year terms. This is a repeatedly controversial issue in Africa and particularly so in Burundi. The campaign alone could prompt unrest in the coming months and it will have a strong possibility of turning violent, with a risk of armed clashes, especially in Bujumbura.
Rebel group the Burundi Popular Forces has warned of increased violence against the government. Be prepared for possible violent clashes, attacks etc.
The US State Dept issued a message warning US citizens against travel to Burundi due to political tensions, political and criminal violence, and the potential for civil unrest. It says that there is sporadic violence throughout the country, including frequent gunfire and grenade attacks by armed groups. Police and military checkpoints throughout the country restrict freedom of movement, and police have searched the homes of private U.S. citizens as a part of larger weapons searches.
U.S. Embassy personnel are subject to restrictions when traveling in certain areas of Burundi and may be subject to other constraints as security conditions warrant. U.S. Embassy personnel are prohibited from traveling outside of Bujumbura at night, and trips to the Bujumbura neighborhoods of Cibitoke, Gasenyi, Kamenge, Kinama, Musaga, Mutakura, and Ngagara require advance approval.
Crime is a bit of a risk here, particularly at night. Foreigners can be targeted because locals will think they're wealthy. Comparatively they are! Use taxis to get around, especially after sundown.
The British FCO advises against all but essential travel to Burundi (although it does not recommend against transiting through Bujumbura airport, so long as you stay airside). It further advises against ALL travel to Cibitoke and Bubanza provinces; the road north from Bujumbura airport towards Cibitoke; Ruvubu National Park; the main road running west from Kayanza through Kibira National Park; and areas within 1km of the DRC border.

Benjamin Bolanti "Gwigwi" Mrwebi (* 5. Dezember 1919 in Germiston, Südafrika; † 1973 in den Vereinigten Staaten) war ein südafrikanischer Saxophonist des Township Jive und Jazz.

Leben und Wirken
Mrwebi spielte zunächst Anfang der 1950er Jahre als Altsaxophonist und Klarinettist bei den Gruppen The Jazz Maniacs (mit Kippie Moeketsi) und mit seinen Harlem Swingsters (Einspielung unter anderem seiner Komposition E-Qonce), bevor er 1954 als Benny G. Mwrebi [sic] and the Harlem Swingsters mit Taai Shomang für Troubadour Records erste Titel einspielte. 1956 entstand für dieses Label ein Album unter dem Namen Gwi Gwi and his Gwigzas. 1958 und 1960  nahm er mit den Jazz Dazzlers (zu denen Kippie Moeketsi, Hugh Masekela und Jonas Gwangwa gehörten) eigene Stücke für das Gallo-Label auf. Nachdem er das Stück Gwigwi geschrieben hatte, war er auch als Bra Gwigwi bekannt; zuvor trat er als Benny Mrwebi auf. Zudem war er Gründungsmitglied der Musikergewerkschaft Union of South African Artists und als Vertriebsmanager für das Magazin Drum tätig. Weiterhin gehörte er zu Gruppen wie The Three Jazzolomos.

Mrwebi ging 1960 mit der Tourneebesetzung des Musicals King Kong von Johannesburg nach London; in dem Stück war er der Erzähler und Klarinettist. Aufgrund der Apartheidbedingungen in Südafrika blieb er 1961 in London. Dort spielte er zahlreiche Radio-Shows für den BBC World Service Africa in den späten 1960er Jahren. 1966 nahm er das (nach dem südafrikanischen Musikstil benannte) Album Kwela (1967) mit den Musikern Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Ronnie Beer, Coleridge Goode und Laurie Allan auf, welches 2006 unter dem Namen Mbaqanga Songs wiederveröffentlicht wurde. Er ging dann nach Boston, um mit einem Stipendium der von Hugh Masekela gegründeten amerikanischen Plattenfirma Chisa Records am Berklee College of Music zu studieren.

Nach Mrwebi ist eine Straße in Johannesburg benannt.

After being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003, 46-year-old Dale Ankenman was determined not to let it keep him off his bike.
Considering his long list of credentials, including former U.S. Navy Submariner, qualified ArmyRanger, scuba diver and parachutist, he wasn't used to the idea of something he could not physically conquer.
Despite being diagnosed with the disease just months earlier, Dale and his wife took part in the inaugural Sunflower Revolution bike ride, a fundraiser for the Gardner Family Center at UCGNI, a decision he says changed his life. Inspired by the positive things he heard about the Gardner Family Center physicians, he decided to change neurologists. He began seeing Dr. Fredy Revilla and noticed an immediate improvement in his care.
When Dr. Revilla recommended DBS surgery, Dale wasn'tready to take that step. Then, a car accident resulted in head trauma that exacerbated his tremors and dyskinesia and introduced the new symptom of pill rolling (an involuntary rubbing motion with the thumb and index finger). Three months after the accident, in the summer of 2008, Dale optedfor DBS with UCGNI neurosurgeon Dr. George Mandybur. Following surgery, he knew the right decision was made almost immediately when stiffness in his right knee, a pain that had troubled him for years, subsided. He recovered in just six weeks, fast enough to again ride in the Sunflower Revolution, marking his fifth consecutive ride since the event began the year of his diagnosis.

Revenue for urban renewal is determined differently than taxing districts such as the county, city, or school district. The amount of income received by taxing districts is based on their budget, which is capped. (see Determining Property Taxes). Urban renewal is not a taxing district so it does not have the authority to create levy rates. This means the amount of income they can generate is not determined or capped by a budget. Instead urban renewal adopts the total levy rate (the sum of all the taxing district levies). Urban renewal's revenue is calculated by multiplying the adopted levy rate by the difference between the current net taxable value and the value of property the year it went into an urban renewal district.
The assessed value of the properties in an urban renewal district at the time the district is put in place is called the Base value. The taxing districts that serve properties in the urban renewal district can only levy property taxes on the base value during the life of the urban renewal district. See section 4 of Idaho Code 50-2903. The Increment value is the amount that the assessed value increases after the urban renewal district is put in place. Urban renewal receives property tax dollars calculated on the increment value.
The urban renewal district has the power to undertake and carry out any project or activity within its area of operation. The decision of what projects are taken on by urban renewal is not taken to a vote per Idaho Code 50-2007. A public hearing is held before an activity may begin per Idaho Code 50-2008.
If an urban renewal district began in 2002, the 2002 value becomes the base. This means there is no increment value the first year therefore the urban renewal does not have income that year. Every proceeding year for the life of the urban renewal district (typically 24 years) the base value is subtracted from the current year's value to calculate the increment. When the increment increases more income is generated for urban renewal projects. (Update 2011) A revenue allocation area formed after 2011 is limited to a 20 year life.
Notice of these public hearings are published in the legal section of the newspaper. Idaho Code 50-2905 (updated 2011) Nothing herein shall prevent the agency from retaining assets or revenues generated from such assets as long as the agency shall have resources other than revenue allocation funds to operate and manage such assets.

Columbia Maryland Archives
New name, new digital library!
The Columbia Maryland Archives is proud to offer a new digital archives library. You now have original artifacts, photos, documents, and more at your fingertips.
Click here to visit the new digital archives library!
Columbia Maryland Archives – a service of Columbia Association – continues to be the primary resource on the history of the planned community of Columbia, as well as the life and career of its visionary founder, James Rouse. Columbia, Maryland Archives serves researchers at every level and welcomes residents and visitors who wish to learn more about Columbia's past, present, and future.
Columbia Maryland Archives remains true to its mission to collect, preserve and make the documentation of Columbia's early history and ongoing development available to everyone. Over the years, we've expanded our community outreach through public programs, exhibits, articles in local publications and stories on Columbia Association cable TV productions. We continue to collect materials, including those related to community organizations and oral histories with residents.
Our history, your history
Columbia Maryland Archives started in 1982 when the planned community was just 15 years old. The public rallied around resident Rebecca Orlinsky after she organized a display of clippings and other ephemera. Her exhibit led to a petition that pushed for establishing a way to chronicle the community's history.
Within a year, the Museum and Archives of the History of Columbia, MD was born. Orlinsky and Ruth McCullough volunteered daily, and donations of materials came pouring in from countless residents and people who helped shape the city. Former Rouse Company employees Mickey Dunham and Jeanne Shea and community activist Norman Winkler were among the first donors.
In 1992, Columbia Archives became part of Columbia Association. The collection and the activities grew — most considerably in 1996, when Columbia Archives received the papers of James Rouse, which doubled the size of Columbia Maryland Archives' holdings.
For questions about collections, resources, availability of materials, or other general inquiries please call 410-715-3103 or email Columbia.Archives@ColumbiaAssociation.org.

Dwyer, Daly, Brotzen & Bruno, Toni Rae Bruno, Marlin D. Wall and Ilan A. Charnelle for Defendants and Appellants.
Deborah J. La Fetra and Timothy Sandefur for Pacific Legal Foundation as Amicus Curiae on behalf of Defendants and Appellants.
The primary issue presented is whether a defendant may be held liable under an intentional interference theory for having induced an at-will employee to quit working for the plaintiff. Because an interference as such is primarily an interference with the future relation between the plaintiff and the at-will employee, we hold that inducing the termination of an at-will employment relation may be actionable under the standard applicable to claims for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. [33 Cal.4th 1145] Accordingly, to recover for a defendant's interference with an at-will employment relation, a plaintiff must plead and prove that the defendant engaged in an independently wrongful act-- i.e., an act "proscribed by some constitutional, statutory, regulatory, common law, or other determinable legal standard" (Korea Supply Co. v. Lockheed Martin Corp. (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1134, 1159 [131 Cal. Rptr. 2d 29, 63 P.3d 937] (Korea Supply))--that induced the at-will employee to leave the plaintiff.
Another issue presented in this case concerns the propriety of the trial court's award for violations of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) (Civ. Code, ? 3426 et seq.). We find the award was proper, and affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal in its entirety.
Pursuant to a stipulated order, plaintiffs agreed to proceed to trial only on the foregoing causes of action. As pertinent here, the stipulated order specified that plaintiffs' claims would be resolved by a bench trial and that any recovery following trial would be limited to $ 150,000.
Trial of the matter commenced in January 2001. Following the presentation of briefing, evidence, and arguments, the trial court issued a statement of decision concluding that Hanlon and Greene had assumed fiduciary duties to plaintiffs and that they had engaged in interference with contracts and prospective business opportunity, and misappropriation of trade secrets. The court determined that, for more than five months prior to their departure, Hanlon and Greene had accessed plaintiffs' password-protected computer database to print out confidential name, address, and phone number information on 2,200 clients and had fomented dissatisfaction among plaintiffs' personnel. Although Greene had been chair of plaintiffs' litigation department and Hanlon had been responsible for over 500 client matters when they abruptly resigned without notice, they left no status reports or lists of matters or deadlines on which they had been working. Nor did they attempt to cooperate with plaintiffs on a notice to clients. Shortly before resigning, Greene intentionally erased extensive computer files in plaintiffs' computer server containing client documents and form files used by plaintiffs. The evening of their resignations, defendants personally solicited plaintiffs' key employees. As a result, plaintiffs lost nine employees over the next 60 days, six of them joining defendants' new firm. Defendants also began a campaign to solicit plaintiffs' clients, contacting at least 40 clients by telephone without offering them a choice of counsel. All of this had been "intentionally done ... to disrupt [plaintiffs'] ongoing business." Although historically, plaintiffs typically lost only one or two clients a month, plaintiffs lost 144 clients to defendants over the next 12 months.
The trial court found that defendants' conduct caused damage to plaintiffs in the total amount of $ 182,180.18, as follows: (1) 144 of plaintiffs' clients who transferred to H&G did not pay $ 62,540.50 in fees that they owed to plaintiffs; (2) plaintiffs suffered $ 36,000 in lost future business revenue; (3) plaintiffs incurred $ 61,639.68 in expenses to mitigate damages, including [33 Cal.4th 1147] $ 41,630.49 for informing clients that the firm was still in business and $ 20,009.19 for recruiting replacement employees; and (4) defendants were unjustly enriched in the amount of $ 22,000 due to the misappropriation of confidential client information. The court, however, declined to award punitive damages, finding that defendants did not act with malice, oppression or fraud, but instead acted out of "immaturity" and "an apparent get-rich-quick mentality at the expense of [plaintiffs]." The court reduced the damages award to $ 150,000 pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and thereafter awarded plaintiffs $ 47,427.63 in costs after granting in part and denying in part a motion to tax costs. Judgment was entered accordingly.
Preliminarily, we state what is not at issue here. We have not been asked to review the propriety of the determinations by the trial court and the Court of Appeal that defendants are liable to plaintiffs for their tortious interference with plaintiffs' client relations and prospective client opportunities. Accordingly, we accept in full the Court of Appeal's conclusion that "[t]here is direct evidence that [Hanlon's and Greene's] departure was calculated to cripple the Reeves firm's ability to provide legal services: they left abruptly, damaged computer files, removed firm property, and failed to provide adequate guidance concerning their open cases. [?] There is also evidence indicating that Hanlon and Greene phoned far more clients than the 40 or so clients they admitted to contacting, and [that] they exploited these clients' lack of facility with English and ignored their rights concerning the selection of counsel [citation]."
What is disputed is the Court of Appeal's legal conclusion that "an employer may recover for interference with the employment contracts of its at-will employees by a third party when the third party does not show that its conduct in hiring the employees was justifiable or legitimate." Relying primarily on GAB Business Services, Inc. v. Lindsey & Newsom Claim Services, Inc. (2000) 83 Cal.App.4th 409 [99 Cal. Rptr. 2d 665] (GAB), defendants argue California law does not and should not recognize a cause of action in favor of an employer against another employer for interference with contractual relations by virtue of an offer of employment to an at-will employee.
 But as the Restatement Second of Torts explains, if a party to a contract with the plaintiff is free to terminate the contractual relation when he chooses, "there is still a subsisting contract relation; but any interference with it that induces its termination is primarily an interference with the future relation between the parties, and the plaintiff has no legal assurance of them. As for the future hopes he has no legal right but only an expectancy; and when the [33 Cal.4th 1152] contract is terminated by the choice of [a contracting party] there is no breach of it. The competitor is therefore free, for his own competitive advantage, to obtain the future benefits for himself by causing the termination. Thus, he may offer better contract terms, as by offering an employee of the plaintiff more money to work for him or by offering a seller higher prices for goods, and he may make use of persuasion or other suitable means, all without liability." (Rest.2d Torts, ? 768, com. i.) fn. 5 Under this analysis, an interference with an at-will contract properly is viewed as an interference with a prospective economic advantage, a tort that similarly compensates for the loss of an advantageous economic relationship but does not require the existence of a legally binding contract.
 Consistent with the decisions recognizing that an intentional interference with an at-will contract may be actionable, but mindful that an interference as such is primarily an interference with the future relation between the contracting parties, we hold that a plaintiff may recover damages for intentional interference with an at-will employment relation under the same California standard applicable to claims for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. That is, to recover for a defendant's interference with an at-will employment relation, a plaintiff must plead and prove that the defendant engaged in an independently wrongful act--i.e., an act [33 Cal.4th 1153] "proscribed by some constitutional, statutory, regulatory, common law, or other determinable legal standard" (Korea Supply, supra, 29 Cal.4th at p. 1159)--that induced an at-will employee to leave the plaintiff. fn. 7 Under this standard, a defendant is not subject to liability for intentional interference if the interference consists merely of extending a job offer that induces an employee to terminate his or her at-will employment.
We now turn to defendants' contention, supported by GAB, supra, 83 Cal.App.4th 409, that an employer should not, as a matter of law, be permitted to maintain a cause of action against another employer for intentional interference with an at-will employment contract. In GAB, the plaintiff's regional vice-president obtained an employment offer from a competitor. (83 Cal.App.4th at pp. 413-414.) Before leaving the plaintiff, he successfully recruited several of the plaintiff's employees to join the competitor with him. (Id. at pp. 414-415.) At trial, a jury rendered verdicts in favor of the competitor and the plaintiff's former regional vice-president on the plaintiff's claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, and interference with contract.
Second, as discussed, case law in analogous contexts shields those employers who hire a competitor's at-will employees without engaging in unlawful conduct. (E.g., Metro, supra, 22 Cal.App.4th 853; Diodes, supra, 260 Cal. App. 2d 244; see Buxbom, supra, 23 Cal.2d 535.) By recognizing similar restrictions in interference actions, we respect both the right of at-will employees to pursue opportunities for economic betterment and the right of employers to compete for talented workers, and in doing so strike the proper balance between society's interest in fostering robust competition in the job market and its interest in protecting against unlawful methods of competition.
Accordingly, we reject GAB's categorical holding that an employer may never maintain a cause of action against a competitor for intentional interference with its at-will employment relations. We disapprove GAB Business Services, Inc. v. Lindsey & Newsom Claim Services, Inc., supra, 83 Cal.App.4th 409, to the extent it conflicts with the views expressed herein.
We now address whether application of the principles we announce today calls for affirmance of the $ 20,009.19 award against defendants. We conclude it does. Here, it is undisputed that Hanlon and Greene engaged in unlawful and unethical conduct in mounting a campaign to deliberately disrupt plaintiffs' business. (See ante, pp. 1147-1148 & fn. 2.) Greene had been chair of plaintiffs' litigation department, and Hanlon had been responsible for over 500 client matters, and both had assumed fiduciary duties to plaintiffs. When the two abruptly resigned without notice, they left no status reports or lists of pending matters or deadlines on which they were working. Not only did they [33 Cal.4th 1155] leave without providing such information, they acted unlawfully to delete and destroy plaintiffs' computer files containing client documents and forms. Additionally, Hanlon and Greene misappropriated confidential information (see post, pt. B), improperly solicited plaintiffs' clients, and cultivated employee discontent. While the computer files and the confidential information all appear to have pertained to plaintiffs' clients, not their employees, and while Hanlon and Greene waited until after their resignations to offer jobs to plaintiffs' employees, we cannot conclude the trial court abused its discretion in finding that defendants' unlawful and unethical actions were designed in part to interfere with and disrupt plaintiffs' relationships with their key at-will employees.
 In short, defendants did not simply extend job offers to plaintiffs' at-will employees. Rather, defendants purposely engaged in unlawful acts that crippled plaintiffs' business operations and caused plaintiffs' personnel to terminate their at-will employment contracts. Accordingly, the Court of Appeal properly upheld the award of $ 20,009.19 for damages attributable to that wrongful conduct.
At trial, the court found that defendants violated the UTSA (Civ. Code, ? 3426 et seq.) by misappropriating plaintiffs' confidential client list and, pursuant to Civil Code section 3426.3, subdivision (b), awarded plaintiffs $ 22,000 (representing a royalty fee of $ 10 for each of the 2,200 clients on the list). Defendants argue the Court of Appeal erroneously affirmed the trial court on this matter.
 Under the UTSA, a client list qualifies as a "[t]rade secret" if it "[d]erives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use" and "[i]s the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy." (Civ. Code, ? 3426.1, subd. (d)(1), (2); see, e.g., Morlife, Inc. v. Perry (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 1514, 1520-1522 [66 Cal. Rptr. 2d 731].) A violation of the UTSA occurs when an individual misappropriates a former employer's protected trade secret client list, for example, by using the list to solicit clients (American Credit Indemnity Co. v. Sacks (1989) 213 Cal. App. 3d 622, 632-633 [262 Cal. Rptr. 92] (American Credit)) or to otherwise attain an unfair competitive advantage (see Morlife, supra, 56 Cal.App.4th at p. 1523).
Here, defendants do not dispute that plaintiffs' client list derived independent economic value from not being generally known or that plaintiffs took reasonable efforts to maintain the list's secrecy under the circumstances. [33 Cal.4th 1156] Instead, defendants claim the trial court erroneously found violations of the UTSA based on their mailing of a professional announcement to the clients appearing on that list.
George, C. J., Kennard, J., Werdegar, J., Chin, J., Brown, J., and Moreno, J., concurred.
?FN 1. Hanlon and H&G filed a separate action against plaintiffs, and the two actions were consolidated. Greene then filed a separate cross-complaint against plaintiffs in the consolidated action. Hanlon and H&G alleged that plaintiffs had improperly withheld files and other materials belonging to H&G's clients after Hanlon resigned, and that plaintiffs had converted Hanlon's car. Greene, in turn, alleged that plaintiffs had failed to pay him commissions in accordance with his employment contract. These claims and cross-claims were either settled or arbitrated and are not at issue here.
?FN 2. Defendants did not petition the Court of Appeal for a rehearing regarding these factual matters, nor did they petition this court for their review. We therefore shall disregard any attempts defendants make in their briefing to expand the scope of review to include such matters.
?FN 3. There were two defendants in Buxbom, defendant Smith and defendant Wright. Buxbom sustained the judgment against Smith, who was a party to the distribution contract at issue, but reversed the judgment against Wright, finding that Wright acted merely as Smith's agent. (See Buxbom, supra, "23 Cal.2d at p. 540.) Although the Buxbom opinion refers sometimes to both defendants, and at other times only to Smith, in describing the same wrongful conduct, our opinion simply will refer to "defendant" in the singular for the sake of consistency.
?FN 7. Because the wrongful conduct in this case pertains only to the termination of at-will contracts, we need not and do not express an opinion whether an independent wrongfulness requirement would be appropriate for cases in which a defendant allegedly induces the breach of an otherwise enforceable term of an at-will contract.
?FN 9. Prior to defendants' departure, plaintiffs' firm went by the name of "Reeves and Hanlon, Professional Law Corporation." The business announcement defendants mailed out informed plaintiffs' clients of the formation of "Hanlon & Greene, A Professional Corporation," but made no mention of Robert Reeves's continuing practice.
 In recognition of the principle that the professional obligation of attorneys to their clients requires attorneys to provide for an orderly transition in the event of an employment change, Formal Opinion No. 1985-86 of the State Bar Standing Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct provides that departing attorneys should cooperate with their former employers to arrange for the issuance of a joint notice to clients. Here, defendants prepared and distributed their business announcement without seeking plaintiffs' input or approval.

There are two types of tax identity theft: stolen identity refund fraud and employment-related tax identity theft.
The IRS requires tax identity theft victims to report the theft and prove their identities to correct the issue.
The best way to protect yourself from tax identity theft is to get an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) from the IRS.
You can get expert help fixing a tax identity theft or refund fraud issue.
To file a return to get a fraudulent refund. When you try to file your return, the IRS will reject it because someone already filed a return using your information. This is the most common type of tax identity theft and fraud.
To get a job and report that income under your Social Security Number. You'd find out about this type of tax fraud if the IRS audits your return, sends you a notice about unreported income, tries to collect a balance you don't owe, or requests a tax return when you aren't required to file.
If you think you could be a victim of tax identity theft, there are several important steps you or your tax professional should take to address it and prevent it going forward.
1. Confirm the tax identity theft and all the resulting problems.
If you suspect tax identity theft, request transcripts or call the IRS to research your IRS account. Confirm whether someone filed a fraudulent return or information statements under your Tax Identification Number.
If you confirm tax identity theft, follow step 2 below.
Refund fraud victims have to file a paper return for the year.
Employment-related fraud victims should research their filed returns and information statements from several years back to identify all the resulting compliance issues.
2. Document the identity theft with the IRS.
Complete Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. Attach the required documents to prove the tax identity theft.
Send the form and the documents to the IRS. Depending on your situation, you'll file the documents with your paper return, send them to the address/fax number on the notice you received, or send them to the appropriate IRS compliance unit.
The IRS may issue you an identity protection personal identification number (IP PIN) or place a preliminary identity theft marker on your IRS account.
Notify other government agencies, financial institutions, and credit bureaus about the theft.
3. Address any related compliance issues.
If your IRS account shows that you owe taxes because of the identity theft, call the IRS to ask for a "collection hold" until you can fix the problem. The IRS won't try to collect the balance using notices, liens and levies if a collection hold is in place.
If you have an underreporter notice (also called a CP2000 notice) or an audit, directly notify the IRS compliance unit handling the issue about the identity theft. Ask the unit to suspend the notice/audit process while you fix the identity theft issue. You may also eventually need to provide the compliance unit with more information about the theft to prove the correct return.
If your identity theft issue has caused you financial hardship (such as a delayed refund, levy, lien, etc.), you may need to involve the IRS Taxpayer Advocate to request urgent relief.
4. Monitor your IRS account.
Confirm with the IRS that it placed the identity theft marker on your account. If the IRS issued you an IP PIN, each year (usually in December), the IRS will send you a letter with a new IP PIN. Use the IP PIN to file your tax return.
Periodically request your IRS account transcripts and your wage and income transcripts to monitor your account for identity theft.
Your H&R Block tax professional can help you navigate the complexities of fixing tax identity theft.
A copy of the correct return filed or to be filed. If you haven't filed, bring the information needed to complete your tax return.
If the IRS has levied you, bring your employer's and/or financial institution's contact information (name, address, phone and fax number).


Egypt is a country in North Africa which has immense historical importance not only to the Muslims, but to the Christians and the Jews as well. When we hear the word "Egypt", first thing that will come into our minds is the picture of pyramids about which we might have studied during our school or college days. The Egyptian pyramids are one among the seven biggest surprises in the world. Even though many of the earlier names in the seven biggest surprises list have lost their places, Egyptian pyramids were able to keep their places in tact so far. Apart from the pyramids, Egypt is a place which has rich cultural heritage and has big importance in Christian, Jews and Muslim histories.
I have studied about Egypt, its cultural heritage and the amazing sceneries and the facilities offered to the tourists, during my school days. I have developed immense curiosity to know more about Egypt from that period onwards. During last summer, I got an opportunity to visit Egypt and this paper explains the surprises offered to me by Egypt during that visit.
Red sea coast was one place which I visited, during my last summer Egyptian tour. Even though I had read lot of stories about the red sea in the Holy Bible, I never thought that the red sea would be that much beautiful. Words cannot explain the feelings which I experienced when I first met read sea. Only a person who has ever driven on the Red Sea Coast can understand what feeling I experienced. There are places where the road is sandwiched between rock cliffs and the sea, it is just gorgeous. Just a one story house that opens directly on the sand and the sea with the backdrop of the mountains would be heaven on earth for me.
The dust storm over red sea is one of the beautiful scene which cannot be seen anywhere in the world. The dust storm will portray different pictures on the sands just like an experienced artist which is a beautiful scene. Apart from the dust storm the red sea coral and marine fish are also beautiful to watch. We can see some of the rare species of fishes in red sea which cannot be seen anywhere in the world.
The Red Sea Coast is a place in the eastern Egypt, with a shore line of the Red Sea for 800 km from Suez in the north to the Sudanese border in the south. It is one of the rapidly developing tourist destinations in the world. It has year-round warm climate which made it one of the favorite destinations of the tourists. Clear azure waters, for its beach resorts and the presence of many species of exotic fish and coral along with diving facilities made red sea coast one of the finest places, I have ever visited.
The description of my Egyptian visit will never be completed without mentioning something about the pyramids I visited in Giza and Luxor. It is really surprising to see how well these pyramids were constructed even at a time when engineering or technology has not developed much. Machineries were less during the construction of these pyramids and the enormous human effort which made the construction of pyramids is unimaginable. Some of the big rocks seen at the top of the pyramids are too heavy that even some of the modern machineries may face difficulties in lifting and placing it in such huge height.
These pyramids were designed in such a way that majority of the weight happens to be closer to the ground, and the pyramidion on top helps the entire structure to distribute the weight evenly to ensure the stability of the structure. The Great Pyramid of Giza was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is the only one to survive into modern times. The Ancient Egyptians covered the faces of pyramids with polished white limestone, containing great quantities of fossilized seashells. Pyramids were constructed to bury the bodies of the ancient Egyptian kings, mentioned in Bible as "Pharaoh".
Egypt is a place which surprised me lot with its beauty and cultural heritage. I will never forget my experiences during my Egyptian tour in my life.

"I am very glad that he is married," said old Chung Wo, with a sigh of relief, when I, a guest at his son's wedding, came across him in an inner room, where, ensconced in a comfortable corner, he was meditatively smoking a pipe.
"Ah, well, Chung," I replied, "I can't blame a man of your age and seriousness for being a little tired of festivities. This is the third day, is it not?"
"Not that, not that," returned Chung; "though," with an expressive hunch of his shoulders, "I certainly do prefer the society of a quiet pipe to that of some tongue waggers."
"You're a wise man," I remarked.
"You have been my friend a long time," said Chung. He drew a long breath through his pipe and let it escape again in rings of smoke through his nose. "Yes, you have been my friend a long time," he repeated; "but," and he fixed his keen eyes on my face, "you have not known my secret—a secret that, whenever remembered, has made my heart as heavy as the blackest heavens and as tempestuous as the four seas in a storm."
I was interested at once. I had known Chung a number of years, and knew him to be a fine fellow. I was also acquainted with his family, which consisted of his wife, two young sons and a sweet little adopted daughter—a slave, some Chinese called her; but that was not my name for one who was loved as was she by those around her. The wedding festivities I was attending were in honor of her marriage to Chung Wo's eldest son.
"Because of that secret," continued Chung Wo, "I am glad that my son is married. When he has a wife and son he will no more be a 'Japanese Chinaman.'"
"What do you mean by 'Japanese Chinaman'?"
"Listen, and I will tell you," said Chung Wo, pointing to an easy chair, into which I subsided. Then he began:
"When I first came to San Francisco, my eldest boy, Chung Tie Sang, was but seven years of age. I brought him with me. Two years after I sent for my wife, and she came with the little girl, Sie, then about four years old. My youngest [End Page 127] boys are native sons of the Golden West. At that time my business was very prosperous. Chinatown was not then like it is to-day."
The old man sighed. Reminiscences of the business of old times seemed to be affecting him.
"My son, Tie Sang, was a good boy in many respects, affectionate and obedient. He was also very clever, and I looked forward to keeping him with me in business, and in time making him a partner. This prospect also pleased his mother, and as we had betrothed him to little Sie, there did not seem to be any reason why our hopes should not be realized.
"Now, there were quite a number of white boys around the neighborhood in which we lived, and my son would follow after them in the street, and when at home imitate their ways—unlike most Chinese children, who usually shrink from the whites and keep to their own kind. These whites were not always kind to my boy. Oftentimes they were cruel. I have seen one, without any provocation whatever, turn around and strike him on the face; and my boy would take the blow in silence, and actually sometimes offer in return a dozen or so lichees or some sweetmeat, hoping thereby to be restored to favor.
"Such conduct made me feel very much ashamed, for why should a Chinese boy humbly take dirt from a white one? Does not even the white man's greatest statute say, 'All men are born free and equal'; and if that is so, are not the Chinese as respect worthy as the whites, provided they follow their consciences? So I spoke to Tie Sang and told him how the...

Well, Sorry to say the blade on this isn't the real deal. The celluloid grip is a light material which is a little different then the typical celluloid you would be used to seeing. Over all the dagger is fantastic looking, but I'm just not 100% on it's construction. So, I'm offering it AS IS and at the price of less then what a perfect minty 2nd model should go for. It' possible this is one of those 1946 produced GI souvenir daggers.
