Bengaluru: Andre Bikey, the new recruit to Indian Super League side FC Pune City from NorthEast United believes football is a learning process and practice is the most important thing.
The Cameroonian footballer who started his career with Spanish side Espanyol at the age of 15, has since been on the move. Bikey, who has played in Spain, Russia (Shinnik Yaroslavl and Lokomotiv Moscow) and England (Reading, Burnley), opens up about his experience in the ISL and Indian football.
"The ISL is definitely good for Indian football on the whole. The Indian players are getting a lot of exposure through the league, so it is helping the sport grow in the country. I believe for the football to grow in the country and for India to make it to the big stage, they should firstly definitely increase the league.
"The most important thing in football is practice. The league is really short. If they make it longer then the competition will increase, and more players from outside will come.
The players will get more match practice. It will benefit players and fans alike. Moreover, ISL allows the local players get a lot of exposure as they are playing alongside players from different countries, leagues. So, the first step towards making the game better is to make the league a longer one," said the 31-year-old.
Bikey, who has travelled a lot and been a part of several leagues believes one is always evolving as a player.
"I have travelled across many countries, and many leagues. You always grow as a player since you are learning and adapting to different styles and discovering different techniques. It's been a big learning process for me throughout and I am still learning here in India as well," added the centre-half.
Being a part of ISL, the Cameroon international expressed his desire to play for the league for at least a few more years. "I enjoyed being a part of ISL last year and I am looking forward to this year. I hope to be a part of the league for a few more years at least.
"I bring to the table all my experience from all the leagues so that the players can learn from it and execute it on the field. But I also learn from these players. The playing condition here is different, the pitch is different, so I am also learning a lot from the league," signed off Bikey, who loves the local food and exploring the country whenever he can get away from the field.

Safety experts help those sleeping in bins
Safety experts take season's goodwill to those sleeping in bins
IOSH News release
Special webinar held to address sad and growing problem
While the Christmas story celebrates a magical night in a stable, a sad and dangerous reality of the festive season for a growing number of people sleeping rough in the UK is taking shelter in a waste bin.
Sadly, there will be thousands of vulnerable people who are tempted to do this, not just over Christmas but all year round, risking unimaginable death or injury from crushing by being unknowingly tipped into a bin lorry.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), at least seven people are known to have been killed in this way over the last five years, while waste management company Biffa recorded 101 "near misses" or encounters with people either sleeping in or near its bins during April to December last year.
That's why members of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) are staging a free webinar, next week, to raise awareness of a problem that's of growing concern with the current surge in homelessness. The webinar, scheduled for 1.00pm (BST) on Wednesday 09 December, will feature two guest speakers from Biffa: Brian Shepherdson, Head of Safety, Health and Quality – Operations & Collections and Paul Wright, Group Health & Safety Director.
Biffa joined the Open University and the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management in launching a report, last February, which showed the number of rough sleepers sheltering in bins had risen in the last five years. Based on a survey of 57 waste disposal companies and councils, the report showed that rough sleepers are typically discovered inside closed containers during cold weather in secluded urban areas, though people have increasingly been found sheltering in bins in towns and villages as the homelessness crisis has worsened.
More than a third of waste management companies responding to the survey reported having issues with people sheltering in bins during the previous year (that's up from 21% in 2014). About one in ten cases of a person found sheltering in a bin involves a person that had been on a night out, according to the report.
"With around 70% of incidents of sleepers found in waste bins occurring between January and June [and 30% during the rest of the year], now is the ideal time to not only raise awareness of this very real risk affecting some of the most vulnerable people in our society and on occasion revellers who may sleep in a bin after a night out. It will cover what waste producers, waste management companies like ourselves and the general public can all do to prevent it," said Biffa's Brian Shepherdson.
"I will be sharing material at the webinar that IOSH members and other OSH professionals can use to make more people aware of this appalling problem and help them to manage the risks," he added.
This material will include tips on how to keep bins safe and what signs to look out for:
Keeping bins safe
Lock containers where possible
Store in a well-lit, secure area
Report any instances of people sleeping in or near waste containers.
What to look out for
Stacked boxes and pallets (they could be used as a step up to a container)
Open lids that are normally closed
Dispersed waste.
Biffa urges anyone with concerns that people are sleeping in or around their bins should contact the national rough sleeping service StreetLink, either online or by calling its 24/7 hotline number 0300 500 0914.
David Thomas, Chair of the IOSH Environmental and Waste Management Group, which is staging the webinar in partnership with the IOSH Public Services Group, said: "I'm proud that IOSH members from across different work sectors have come together this Christmas to raise the profile of homeless people and the threats they face to their health and wellbeing, as well offering some practical help to employees working in waste management."
Homelessness is a particularly pressing issue for IOSH President Jimmy Quinn, a former Army Warrant Officer who left the army for a career in health and safety after 24 years' service: "Campaigners suggest there are more than 3,500 homeless veterans sleeping rough in this country and so if there's any way IOSH and the health and safety profession can help us all to do the right thing by them then I think we should – I'd say it's the least we can do," said Jimmy.

2+2 Curriculum Ensures Broad Patient Care Experience
Touro pharmacy students worked with patients during the Harlem Healthy Soul Festival in September 2015.
A NON-TRADITIONAL "2+2" CURRICULUM at the Touro School of Pharmacy in Harlem, N.Y., is paying big dividends for students and their future employers. Founded in 2008, Touro has differentiated itself by requiring students to spend twice the amount of typical time in clinical rotations during their four-year Pharm.D. experience.
Traditional "3+1" pharmacy programs designate a single year for clinical rotations after three years of coursework.
Touro's "2+2" curriculum, modeled on medical school education, offers two years of classroom instruction followed by two years of clinical experience. The expanded exposure to real-world practice creates more opportunities for students to impress potential employers and helps them narrow their postgraduate and professional options.
"The additional rotations helped me discover my professional interests, fine-tune my career plans, and ultimately decide that I wanted to pursue an academic career," said Emmanuel Knight, Pharm.D., a 2015 Touro graduate and now an academic fellow at the school.
"And if you make an impact at a clinical site, they're more likely to consider you for residencies, fellowships, and jobs."
Pharmacy Immersion Helps Chart Professional Paths
During the two-year clinical component, students complete six-week rotations at affiliate sites to learn first-hand about areas such as ambulatory care, general medicine, and institutional and community pharmacy practice. To pack the equivalent of six semesters of coursework into just four terms, Touro's semesters last 19 weeks instead of the usual 13 to 15 weeks.
Tova Berman
Tova Berman, a third-year pharmacy student, noted that the early immersion in fieldwork allowed her to map out a professional path with greater confidence.
"By starting my clinical rotations in my P3 year, I have been able to think about my future pharmacy career in much more concrete terms," said Berman. "Also, while classroom learning is an extremely important component of our education, experiencing hands-on clinical work at an early stage has helped bring the material to life. I see it for myself on a daily basis: various illnesses, medication management, and how pharmacists play an integral role in patient care."
Touro stresses that every clinical rotation is an opportunity for a potential employer or residency program to assess a student, according to Ronnie Moore, Pharm.D., assistant dean of clinical affairs and associate professor at Touro. The augmented rotation timetable also gives students a chance to repeat rotations at desired clinical sites.
"The extra time that students spend on rotation gives the staff at those sites a good gauge on students' individual capabilities," Dr. Moore said, adding that the amount of information that students retain grows exponentially in an actual practice setting.
Ronnie Moore, Pharm.D.
By the second half of their third year, he added, most students are already honing in on a particular practice area. They also still have plenty of time left to choose additional rotations that best prepare them to meet their goals.
That was true for Touro alumnus Michelle Friedman, Pharm.D. When Dr. Friedman began pharmacy school, she had intended to become a community pharmacist. But during her second year of clinical work, she gravitated toward clinical pharmacy. After graduation and two years of residency, Dr. Friedman became a clinical faculty member at Touro and a preceptor at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, Brooklyn, N.Y., for students who are completing their internal medicine rotations.
"My early rotations opened my eyes to new experiences and helped me decide what I wanted to do," she said. "What I'm doing today is the best of both worlds for me because I love teaching, and I love clinical pharmacy."
A Commitment to Public Health, Service
Organizations that hire Touro graduates say they, too, benefit from students' additional clinical exposure.
"The Touro student we hired had already completed multiple rotations with us," said Hinnah Farooqi, Pharm.D., director of pharmacy at Harlem Hospital Center. "She became familiar with our staff and our work environment, which shortened her training time and helped her become readily accepted as a colleague."
Touro students participated in the American Hearth Association Heart and Stroke Walk in September 2015.
Another facet of Touro's hands-on ethos is the school's curricular obligation to public health and community service.
"We strongly believe that a student's education is greatly enhanced when it reaches beyond the four walls of the school into the surrounding community," said Dr. Moore.
For instance, among their various service work commitments, Berman assisted at an immunization clinic at a local senior center.
Dr. Friedman and fellow students spoke to Staten Island high schoolers about drug abuse, and Dr. Knight helped to set up a volunteer program in which residents at a long-term care facility were transported to and from concerts and religious services.
"We had many opportunities to do those types of things during our last two years when we didn't have to focus on coursework," he said. "It allowed me to give something back to the community."

One such person said that the purpose of life was 'to love and be loved'. At first I thought it to be naive and stupid and did not even give it a second thought. Then I wondered about why an educated person would put forward such a and spiritually motivated reason among a set of extremely logical and convincing reasons given by others. It was then I started thinking about this seemingly illogical purpose of life.

Our curator for this years ZONE1, Victoria Dejaco, visits Cetate Arts Danube and shares her impressions on her extraordinary experience with art that speaks and references its environment.
The 19th century residence with its granaries, mill, stables and administrative buildings is situated just a few kilometres off the Danube forming the natural boarder between Romania and Bulgaria and some 70 kilometres from Serbia.
The time it takes to get there is the exact time your mind needs to de-clutter from everyday life. The artist residence, CetateArtsDanube, founded by Dr. Joana Grevers on her family's old property in Cetate (once it was restored to the family after the end of Communism) is an extraordinarily rich experience, visually, aesthetically, intellectually, culturally and even gastronomically. Grevers' sensitivity for the place is all-encompassing: bit by bit always new parts of the property are caringly restored or rebuild, she has a knowledge of what food, what rhythm, what characters are beneficial and constructive for the atmosphere of the place. The isolation and simultaneous abundance of the place (created by nature and the Fundatia Joana Grevers) is a fertile ground for great results.
The first day on the property starts with introductions and an extended walk on the vast premise. Stefan Radu Crețu and Albert Kaan are returning residents and show works from the past years installed around Castel Cetate. Also the Vienna based artist Simon Iurino, shown by Joana Grevers' 418gallery at this year's ZONE1 of viennacontemporary is present in the enchanted, romantic garden. He installed a fragile structure with beams on a platform resonating with the concrete espalier partly in ruins that used to be flanked by roses all along the allées of the park.
The talented Caterina Guardino comes out of retirement from Sciacca, Sicily every summer to cook at Cetate. The food of a real Italian mamma – nothing compares. In the afternoon we visit the studios of Stefan Radu Crețu, Albert Kaan and Stefan Petrica in the old granary and their new onsite works. Albert Kaan has an exhibition with fluorescent cables installed in the dark attic of the granary – a spectacular effect.
Between the administrative building looking like an old Louisiana farm house with porch and all and the 19th century stables for a whole cavalry Mihail Cosuletu installed a miniature sky scrapers city in concrete on a platform. The sun will set on it in the evening and make it look like a gloomy post-apocalyptic sci-fi skyline of an abandoned city.
On the second day we get a tour of the castle, all it's 19th century fireplaces in perfect condition and the roof top terrace with Art Deco arcades. Constantin Luser, another Vienna based artist hung to big metal wire earrings in his typical style in the place were big light bulbs used to be. There is lots of time for conversation with all of the artists and before we walk out to Miki Velciov's installation the new work by Stefan Radu Cretu can be inaugurated.
Miki Velciov chose the field extending on the left side of the drive way to the castle's gates in conversation with Joana Grevers for his first work on the premise. Fourteen cylinders with tilted mirrors bring reflections of the sky down to the ground. They are meticulously calculated to appear being all of the same size form a certain perspective although stretching over a distance of several meters so that the farthest away needs to be many times the size of the closest to the viewer.
In the evening of our last day, Adina Mocanu makes a performance for the moon in the lavender field between the granary and the old stables. It starts at 11 pm when the last bit of daylight has subsided and ends at 2 am when the moon is aligned with the fluorescent moons she installed in the field of lavender. Spending time with the moon and the grass and the people and everything around you is a big part of the magic of Cetate.

A big reason Michigan State won back to back Big Ten titles in '09-'10 is their superior road record. The last two years MSU is 16-5 away from home. They had a school record 8 road wins in 2009, and followed it up with a 7-2 mark the following season.
However, this year outside of the Breslin Center has been a totally different story. The Spartans fell to the Illini in Champaign Tuesday night, in a game both teams needed in order to stay in the conference race.
The loss dropped State's road record to 1-3 in 2010-11. Their only road win was at Northwestern on January 3rd. State is currently 12-6, 4-2 in conference, with all but one of their losses coming to a ranked opponent.
But Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo made switch in order to make a statement.
When the Big Ten Network produced a program highlighting the most storied position traditions of excellence in the conference, Michigan State point guards took home the overall slot. All those decades of college basketball and college football and the number one is the men who have manned "the one" in East Lansing. NBA superstars, Team USA and college legends, guys like Scott Skiles, Magic Johnson, Mateen Cleaves, Drew Neitzel, Steve Smith and Eric Snow.
Playing point guard at Michigan State is a position of great power that comes with great responsibility and great scrutiny. Kalin Lucas holds the position now, with top ten freshman recruit and former Michigan Mr. Basketball Keith Appling waiting in the wings.
Appling is now starting and, along with Lucas, bringing the ball up and setting the offense. His move to the starting five gives State two point guards in the lineup; and an upgrade in ball-handling skills.
It's mandatory because their biggest issue is turnovers.
Following Michigan State's narrow escape over Oakland on December 11th, I tweeted to my followers what I believed MSU's starting lineup should be: a three guard cadre of Durrell Summers, Kalin Lucas, Keith Appling with Delvon Roe and Draymond Green up front.
I then tweeted an abbreviated/condensed version of why I felt this would work.
First, having two true point guards (and the requisite ball-handing skills) on the floor at the same time would help ameliorate State's biggest issue this year- turnovers.
Secondly, Lucas is just not himself after the Achilles and who knows if/when he ever will be. He's better served as a scorer off the ball now than as primary distributor. Perfect for Appling, who's defense is way ahead of his scoring right now. Let him bring the ball up and set the offense.
Although the final outcome was still a loss, it was a much more exciting and interesting loss to Michigan State this time for Northwestern, who took one of their toughest Big Ten opponents down to the final possession.
No wants to believe in nor accept moral victories, but losing to the #18 Spartans, when your star forward John Shurna (the Big Ten's leading scorer) is clearly not anywhere near himself, is not the worst thing in the world.

Yes, we got involved when Sally was still alive, I had to. Grace and I never dated either, I was just introduced to her and I said to myself she is a beautiful girl.
So she came as a secretary and they were many of them, I just looked at them and then it was love at first sight with Grace. Then I said to her one day, I love you and she didn't respond. I then grabbed her hand and I kissed her. She didn't protest or refuse and then I said to myself now that she has accepted to be kissed, it means she loves me.
Mugabe said that he got involved with Grace, while his late first wife Sally Mugabe was sick because he wanted to have grandchildren for his mother and Sally was unable to bear children. Grace was married to Stanley Goreraza at the time.


Women love a man in uniform, so they say. James Winn points out that even in 1714, some women saw through the supposed dignity that the red British military uniform brings. Some things never change; the dignity of the soldier is still being attacked and defended in America today, but in a different way. While Ann Finch derided the vanity of the young soldier, critics today blast the arrogance of the government sending them off to fight, while praising the bravery of those willing to serve.
Be still the Hautboys, and the Flute be dumb!
The officer's dashing uniform is a cheat, a gaudy charm that wins a foolish maid. Although his sweetheart is supposed to be the prize of his victorious arms, the soldier, slain by arms of steel, will never hold her in his arms of flesh. In Finch's sad version of a military parade, pikes trail in the dust, banners flutter in vain, and honor is exposed as a false idol. She insists on the realities that many male poets of her era sought to banish from their poems: the hero's death and the grief of his loved ones.

S3IDF's Work
Through making existing markets more accessible, inclusive, and efficient, S3IDF enables local entrepreneurs to reach their full potential and provide their communities with critical products and services.
The Idea for S3IDF Emerges
A group of experienced international development consultants, practitioners, and academics reflect on their hundreds of years of collected work experience in over 70 countries and their shared concern that the dominant paradigms too often failed to sufficiently benefit the poor. Appreciating the connection between access to and use of infrastructure services (modern energy, transport, communications, water supply, etc.) and poverty alleviation, they began to conceive of a new approach.
Through a phased dialogue driven by Dr. Russell deLucia, who would become S3IDF's principal founder, the S3IDF market-based concept is initially articulated and then later refined with pro bono support from well-known and respected professionals, including Andrew Barnett, Ramesh Bhatia, Michael Lesser, and T.L. Sankar.
Read more about S3IDF's history and founders here.
S3IDF Develops the Social Merchant Bank Approach (SMBA®)
It is critical to the founders that the S3IDF market-based concept be applicable across the many geographies and sectors. Acknowledging that while S3IDF's work might be limited to only some geographies at first, once verified, the founders' objective is to enable other development players to adopt a version of the approach so that development assistance and finance can have greater impacts. S3IDF's approach becomes known as the Social Merchant Bank Approach (SMBA)®. The SMBA® reflects the history of merchant banking for project development and implementation that brings technology, business "know-how," and financing together for commercial for-profit objectives. S3IDF's founders see the potential for social and environmental benefits on local, regional, and global levels.
S3IDF Offices Begin Official Operation
As the S3IDF concept is finalized and the agreement on a market-based, business-like non-profit structure agreed upon, the founding group sets up an office in Cambridge, MA USA and applies for and receives US IRS charity status.
The founders then make the decision to set up operations in India. This decision is influenced by political instability and other problems in both Nepal and Bangladesh (other countries where the founders have expertise). S3IDF opens its doors with offices in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Dr. Russell deLucia and T.L. Sankar serve on both the US and India Boards of S3IDF for many years and play critical roles as activist directors, mentors, and thought leaders.
S3IDF-US Receives Charity Status
S3IDF's Cambridge, MA, USA office receives its 501(c)(3) public charity designation from the IRS.
1st loan leveraged by S3IDF
To support micro clean-energy enterprises in the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts of Karnataka, S3IDF provides its first loan guarantee on the behalf of an entrepreneur to facilitate access to formal financial services. These micro entrepreneurs provide street vendors with clean solar charging based, battery and CFL lighting, reducing dependence on kerosene-based petromax lanterns
S3IDF & SELCO Partnership
S3IDF begins partnership with SELCO to facilitate access to sustainable and clean forms of energy
S3IDF-India Receives Charity Status
S3IDF's operation in India, with its head office in Bangalore, receives its Section 8 charity status from the Indian government.
S3IDF Partners with the Shell Foundation
S3IDF embarks on a partnership with the Shell Foundation after winning a grant through a pitch competition for energy work in Southern India. The relationship leads to ongoing support in subsequent years, building on the social merchant bank approach.
FPC provision added to the Companies Act
In 2003 a provision for setting up Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) is added to the 1956 Companies Act, which identifies FPCs as the most appropriate institutional form around which to mobilize farmers to build their capacity and collectively leverage production and marketing strength
Advisory Services Work with PwC
S3IDF sub-contracts to PwC on the World Bank project Global Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Financing Policy Network Concept Development and Options Study
Partnership with Blue Moon Fund
S3IDF begins a multi-year partnership with the Blue Moon Fund to expand the dissemination of the SMBA approach in India, Cambodia and Myanmar.
S3IDF Recognized at World Clean Energy Awards
In its 6th year of operation, S3IDF is honored with the World Clean Energy Award in the NGO and Initiatives category for its lighting program in southern India. The program reaches over 5,500 poor households, communities and SMEs in South India, providing access to renewable energy and energy conservation technologies
Advisory Services Work with Tetratech
S3IDF sub-contracts to Tetratech under the USAID SARI-Energy program to help lay the foundation for increased clean energy access and improved market structures to facilitate energy trade and investment
Partnership with GVEP

ATRC Dahlgren, VA
Served in this Center? Find your Shipmates on Navy.TogetherWeServed.com
Garrison - Training Command
Existing Year
Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) was formally established as a training command in November 1984. The facility opened for training in October 1985 with the first class of 14 students graduating on Dec. 18, 1985, from the Aegis Computer Fundamentals course. Headquartered at the Rear Admiral Wayne E. Meyer Aegis Education Center, Dahlgren, Va., ATRC's core mission is training military personnel in the operation, maintenance, and employment of the Aegis Combat Weapons System and the operation and employment of the Ship's Self Defense System. The first building was erected in 1984 as A-Wing of Ticonderoga Hall, named for the Ticonderoga-class cruisers. In 1988, BWing was added, and in 1990 Arleigh Burke Hall was constructed as C-Wing and named after the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. A final Wing was added in 1999,Huchting Hall.
The Aegis Weapon System has evolved into a fast reaction, high performance, computerized system using the latest radar technology to detect contacts and engage threats. The Aegis Combat System is a functional grouping of theAegisWeapons Systems with Anti-Air, Ballistic Missile Defense, Anti- Submarine,Anti-Surface and Strike warfare, and associated weapons and communications equipment. Each element of these overall systems is taught at the ATRC. As the weapons systems evolve, courses are tailored to support differences between equipment found on the various Aegis ships. After completing intensive training each student becomes a vital part of their assigned ship's Combat Systems team and assists in highly detailed procedures designed to ensure total combat readiness of the individual ship and that of the Strike Group it is part of.

The AEGIS Training and Readiness Center Crest (Aug 26, 2015)
The AEGIS Training and Readiness Center Crest
Shield: Azure, a chief wavy argent, overall an anchor surmounted by a breastplate charged with the head of Medusa or and issuing there from saltirewise four lightning bolts of the second.
Crest: On a wreath of the colors, argent and azure, issuing from two wavy bars, azure above argent, an open book proper edged or and bound of the second charged with the AEGIS Radar shape proper all in front of a trident gules, and issuing from either side a launched missile proper, all in front of a cloud argent.
The complete coat of arms, in full color as in the blazon, upon a white oval, all contained within a dark blue border edged with gold rope on the outside and inscribed "AEGIS TRAINING AND READINESS CENTER" at the top and "DAHLGREN, VIRGINIA" at the bottom in gold.
Shield: Blue and gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy and are symbolic of the sea and excellence. The white wavy chief and the blue shield stand for the air, surface, and subsurface aspects of the sea or the combat areas of the cruiser. The word "aegis" means "protection" or "defense" and is mainly associated with Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and patron deity of war. The Aegis or breastplate of Athena is emblematic of power and majesty and has the head of Medusa fixed upon it because the head of Medusa, according to Greek myth, turned all beholders to stone. The Aegis of Athena is doubly symbolic, indicating both defensive and offensive capabilities. The AEGIS system enables a ship to engage multiple targets simultaneously and the four lightning bolts symbolize this hostile electronic environment. Also, the bolts represent the four basic warfare areas: anti-war warfare, antisubmarine warfare, surface warfare, and amphibious warfare. The anchor supporting the Aegis represents the AEGIS Combat System aboard CG 47 Class Cruisers.
Crest: AEGIS Training is represented by the open book. On the open pages is the AN/SPY-1A Radar System; the AEGIS system's primary air, surface, and fire control radar. The two launched STANDARD Missiles refer to the offensive posture of AEGIS. Sea power is symbolized by the trident and the clouds and blue and white wavy bars allude to air and sea combat.

Harvard Travellers Club Seeks New Members, to Hold Dinner
by Beacon Hill Times Staff • October 17, 2017 • 0 Comments
From trekking in the Kalahari to exploring the ghostly ruins of Sable Island, every month the members of the Harvard Travellers Club are transported to another part of the world—from the comfort of the Harvard Club on Commonwealth Avenue.
In November, they are inviting other interested travelers to join them for dinner, conversation, and a talk by Adam Cole, of the Royal Australian Air Force. During his three-year posting in Washington, D.C., Cole set out to see as much of the United States as possible, and will share photographs and stories from his journeys through American subcultures.
The Harvard Travellers' Club traces its roots to Harvard's eminent geographer, Professor William Morris Davis, who, in association with Copley Amory, Archibald Cary Coolidge, Roland B. Dixon, and James H. Kidder, invited local men to meet in an effort to promote and discuss "intelligent travel and exploration." In the fall of 1902, 30 men responded to the call.
Since the initial days of the club, the membership has grown in number and diversity (for example, women are now included in the ranks!). Today, members continue to commit themselves to intelligent travel and continue to be curious about other locales and other ways of life. Certainly unchanged is members' enjoyment in learning of one another's travels.
In 1913, the club began to meet at the Harvard Club on Commonwealth Avenue—a tradition which continues to this day. The club currently meets eight times a year for cocktails, dinner, and a lecture. This season kicked off with a lecture by Wouter van Hoven, who has spent more than 40 years working in wildlife conservation in Africa.
Past lecturers have included polar explorers Peary and Shackleton, mountaineers Mallory, Smythe, and Washburn, the great Central Asian explorer Sir Francis Younghusband, and President Theodore Roosevelt.
Recent highlights include fascinating presentations by Christopher Golden, who spoke about surprising connections between humans and the environment; Patricia Glyn, who described trekking with the Khomani San people in the Kalahari; and Harvard Review editor Christina Thompson, who highlighted the time she spent with the Maori people of New Zealand.
"Our members join together to share stories of distant places, rugged climbs, boating expeditions, and foreign cultures and traditions. This companionship drives the club forward," says club president and Boston resident Peter Creighton. "I love learning about members' adventures."
To that end the club is welcoming potential new members and interested parties to attend their Nov. 14 dinner. Membership in the Harvard Travellers Club is open to anyone with a background in independent, adventurous travel. Nominees elected to membership are expected to contribute to the club's aims and activities through their past, present and future travels and by regularly attending the monthly events.
Interested parties should visit http://www.harvardtravellersclub.org for more information, and contact [email protected] to attend a dinner and lecture.

Q: IOMMU Emulation and install with QEMU For now, I need to use some packages to do a emulation for IOMMU (it is similar to MMU), and I got some source about it, but I don't know how to use them.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg38514.html Here is a link of source for emulating IOMMU
http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu-kvm/amd-iommu.git Here is a link for downloading file for this emulation
My problem is how to use qemu to do this and there are so many file in the download list, I don't know how to use them...
Thanks for your help, really appreciate!!!  If you know something detail, please tell me

A: you can use download option in the right side of the page ( Generally snapshot option is available in repositories )
or this

then simply use configure script to generate makefile
i.e.
use ccache if you want to recompile it again and again
$CC="ccache gcc"./configure --prefix=$PREFIX <br>

then make to build and install, use -j<no_of_cpu+1>
$make -j5 all install

if you have dependencies issue, solve them using synaptic manager or apt-get
P.S. AFAIK You should have iommu support available in hardware, if you have 64-bit machine then you might have. You can check flags in using cat /proc/cpuinfo

Is the The Heathman Hotel haunted?
Some reports of hauntings from hotels are of a fairly benign nature with guests reporting strange noises or apparitions spotted in hallways, but the spirit or spirits in Portland, Oregon's Heathman Hotel, one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, seem to take a somewhat more sinister approach to alerting people to their presence. Not content to simply make an appearance now and again, these ghosts climb into bed with guests, swaddle them in bedclothes and stare at them menacingly from shadowy corners.
A column of rooms ending in the number "03" are said to be particularly haunted with the most activity reported in rooms 703, 803 and 1003. One story says that a guest once jumped or fell from a window in this row of rooms although this is unconfirmed. At least one psychic has also reported that the spirits are friendly, but that may offer little comfort to the guest who wakes thinking that an intruder has entered their hotel room in the night.
Guests often report the sensation that someone has climbed into bed next to them. One person woke to find someone standing at the foot of the bed while another says a man ran from his closet, but security could later find no sign that anyone had been in the room. Meanwhile, odd shadows lurk on video taken in the hotel, and guests say that on returning to rooms, they sometimes find items such as water glasses and towels moved around. When key cards are checked, there is no recorded activity from staff or anyone else in those rooms.
It's not just the guests who report encounters with restless spirits. Housekeeping staff say they have had trouble entering the rooms on occasion. Room 703 seems to be the main hotspot for spectral activity, and in the 1990s a psychic confirmed this. It is also believed to be the room from which someone jumped and is frequently requested by ghost-hunting guests.
However, hauntings have been reported in other places as well. A guest in room 510 saw the apparition of a woman sobbing in a chair, and the person who jumped would have landed in the space that is now the hotel library prior to its construction. Ghost enthusiasts are likely to be rewarded with a stay in the Heathman, but they might want to bring a companion and take turns falling asleep at night.
Rooms ending in the number "03" are said to be particularly haunted with the most activity reported in rooms 703, 803 and 1003.
Room 703 has had the most reportings of haunted activity.
Room 510 was reported to have the ghost of a woman crying in a chair.
The Hotel Library has seen activity.
I was attacked in room 1003 about 2 years ago and will never forget it! It's had me wondering ever since. So much that I am going to stay in that room again and see if it happens again. I'm taking my recorder this time!
I was in 604 at the end of the hall, saw a man in a hat and overcoat standing in the corner by the door. No fear but he was definitely there! I slept great and LOVE this haunted hotel!

What does Kerry-Zarif body language in this picture tell us?
World Mena
Body language expert says two diplomats are trying to portray a relationship of equals
Published: October 21, 2014 15:45 By Jumana Al Tamimi, Associate Editor
From left, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton, and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are photographed as they participate in a trilateral meeting in Vienna, Austria. Image Credit: AP
Dubai: A picture may say a thousand words, but a recent picture of US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign minister Mohanmmad Javad Zarif, says just two: "Let's talk."
To an ordinary viewer, the atmosphere in the talks looks positive, comfortable and friendly, especially considering it is not every day that Iranian and American officials have what appear to be friendly meetings.
But, according to Pamela Eyring, President of The Protocol School of Washington and an expert in body language, the picture shows that "there are a few things going on".
Although it is a side angle picture and it is difficult to see the micro-facial expressions of the two officials, Eyring said in an interview with Gulf News that "both are mirroring each other's body language" by crossing their legs, maintaining the feeling that they are equal. In negotiations, it is the norm that people imitate each other to some extent, she said.
"To me, looking at the picture, they have just started the conversation, [and] at the beginning of diplomacy and conversation, you make small talk… The heavy talk has not come yet. They are trying to make each other feel comfortable by trying to build trust," she added.
Kerry's stance stronger?
However, both Kerry and Zarif would have shown more power "if they had have their feet on the ground, and their legs were not crossed. They were still a little bit uncomfortable with each other by crossing their legs instead of having both feet on the ground," she added.
Yet, Kerry's posture is stronger that his Iranian counterpart. Kerry's head is straight, along with his posture unlike Zarif's tilted head.
"When we have two individuals, [and] a person is tilting the head, it shows submissiveness," Eyring said.
But the main message is in their hands — literally.
"When you open your hands with your palm up, you are giving permission to have a discussion, [Kerry is telling Zarif] share with me, talk to me, let us talk…That is a positive sign in relations and diplomacy," Eyring said.
Zarif's hands touching his fingertips seems to send the message "consider us", she added.
The way European Union representative Catherine Ashton sat shows that she was not feeling comfortable, although her feet were on the ground and she had a big smile on her face. Her legs and hands were close to each other and to her body. But, sitting in the middle shows that she wanted to see "where the conversation would go".
Iran and Western powers have been locked in talks over Iran's controversial nuclear programme.
Tehran has been insisting on its right to have the programme, which it repeatedly says is for civilian purposes. However, Western powers, fearing Iran will develop nuclear weapons, are trying to encourage Iran to limit its programme for some benefits, including the lifting of economic sanctions hitting the oil-rich country.
