U.S. Africa Relations: A New Framework
By The Atlantic Post March 7, 2018
Secretary Tillerson underscored that the United States' security and economic prosperity are linked with Africa's like never before.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson delivers a speech outlining the United States' relationship with Africa, at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia on March 6, 2018.
Just hours before embarking on his first official visit to Sub-Saharan Africa, Secretary Tillerson today, delivered remarks about the United States relationship with Africa.
Secretary Tillerson underscored that the United States' security and economic prosperity are linked with Africa's like never before and said, "As we look ahead, this Administration seeks to deepen our partnerships in Africa, with an aim of making African countries more resilient and more self-sufficient."
Secretary Tillerson emphasized that a stable future is dependent on security. The Secretary discussed the growing threat of terrorism, saying "To prevail against such evil forces, the United States has committed to working with African partners to rid the continent and the world of terrorism by addressing drivers of conflict that lead to radicalization and recruitment in the first place, and building the institutional law enforcement capacity of African nations. We want to help African states provide security for their citizens in a lawful manner."

Secretary Tillerson said that in addition to supporting important security efforts, we must work to find long-term diplomatic solutions to conflicts that cause so much human suffering. He stated, "Until we do, the United States, as the world's single-largest provider of humanitarian assistance, will continue to stand with the most vulnerable."
Today, Sec. Tillerson announced nearly $533 million in humanitarian aid for people of #Ethiopia, #Somalia, #SouthSudan, #Nigeria, & countries in Lake Chad region, where millions are facing life-threatening food insecurity & malnutrition. https://t.co/6XIl0muAyO #SecStateinAfrica pic.twitter.com/Orb0aK9rND
In his remarks, the Secretary also called on African countries to take a more active role on the global stage. He stated, "One area where we seek greater cooperation is our peaceful pressure campaign to bring the DPRK to the negotiating table."
The Secretary continued, "The DPRK threatens the entire global community through its unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile programs and proliferation activities, including its arms exports to Africa. It doesn't just involve our allies in Europe or Asia. It doesn't just include countries with longstanding ties to the DPRK like China and Russia. This is and must be a global effort."
Secretary Tillerson emphasized that greater security on the continent is a prerequisite for greater prosperity. "Greater stability will attract greater United States' trade and investment with African nations, leading to further development, building on what we have accomplished through the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA," he said.
Secretary Tillerson at @GeorgeMasonU: The African Growth and Opportunity Act (#AGOA) has been the cornerstone of U.S. trade policy in #Africa for almost two decades…Last year, total U.S. trade climbed to $38.5 billion – up from $33 billion in 2016. #SecStateinAfrica pic.twitter.com/lS9dBDYYkP
Secretary Tillerson continued, "The United States is eager to reduce barriers to trade and investment with our African partners, helping African countries transition from dependency toward self-sufficiency; growing their middle class; and better integrating African economies with the rest of the world."
Citing Africa's expanding youth population, the Secretary underscored the need to invest in an educated and healthy workforce to prepare for the future and realize the continent's potential. Secretary Tillerson pointed to the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) as one example of how the State Department and USAID are investing in the next generation of African leaders.

Today @YALINetwork has over 500,000 members & representatives from every Sub-Saharan country. #SecStateinAfrica pic.twitter.com/GQjmZ2q7LH
The Secretary also highlighted the United States' work to transform the global HIV/AIDS response through the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Releief (PEPFAR). The Secretary discussed progress over the last 15 years through PEPFAR and looked to the future.

Secretary Tillerson discussed this administraton's commitment to saving lives and to helping Africa reach an AIDS free future. He stated, "Last September, I announced the PEPFAR Strategy for Accelerating HIV/AIDS Epidemic Control for 2017-2020. The strategy is a roadmap to achieve epidemic control in more than 50 countries over the next three years. It outlines a path to accelerate our work in 12 high-HIV-burden countries in Africa poised to achieve epidemic control by 2020. We can actually see a future free of HIV/AIDS. It is just ahead of us. That's critical to Africa's future."
Secretary Tillerson underscored the importance of democratic governance. "For security, trade and investment, and economic development to sustain itself requires effective and accountable government institutions that earn the trust and support of the people. Peace and prosperity are only possible in a democratic society," he said.
Secretary Tillerson at @GeorgeMasonU: The United States pursues sustainable growth that bolsters institutions, strengthens rule of law, and builds the capacity of African countries. This stands in stark contrast to #China's approach, which encourages dependency. #SecStateinAfrica pic.twitter.com/AUfzC0QBwr
The Secretary continued, "Media freedom, open communication, religious freedom, and a vibrant civil society foster creativity, ideas, energy, and economic growth. Today Africa has much to gain by creating stronger, more transparent democratic institutions that reflect their citizens' voices, reject corruption, and protect and promote human rights."
The Secretary reaffirmed that the United States will continue its work with African countries to strengthen their democratic institutions through democracy, human rights, and governance programs to create more transparent, less corrupt institutions that value consensus-building over conflict.
As he closed, the Secretary looked to the future of the United States' relationships across Africa with optimism.
"The United States sees a bright future in Africa. We have an opportunity to be a part of Africa's journey to a stable, prosperous future for its people. Each of these priorities – trade and investment, good governance, respect for human rights, combating terrorism and instability – have the same guiding principle in mind: to help African countries build the capacity to take care of their people."
-Secretary Tillerson
Secretary Tillerson concluded by acknowledging that although there are no quick fixes to the challenges we face, the United States is committed to meeting them in partnership with the nations of Africa for a more prosperous future. (DipNote Bloggers)

"Heart attack hospital admissions have fallen since the smoking ban," reported The Times . This news is based on a study on the rates of hospital admissions for heart attacks before and after the smoking ban was introduced in England on July 1 2007. Researchers estimated a 2.4% reduction in heart attack emergency admissions to hospital (or 1,200 fewer admissions) in the 12 months following the ban.
This well-conducted study shows a clear association between the smoking ban and a decreased rate of hospital admissions for heart attack. As the study did not look at smoking status or people's exposure to second-hand smoke before the ban, it is not possible to say how much of the decline is due to less exposure to second-hand smoke and how much is due to people giving up smoking. Further research that assesses the ban's long-term impact and its effect on other diseases is warranted.
The risks associated with smoking and heart disease, heart attack and cancer are well known. In addition to smoking, there are other risk factors for heart attacks, such as not getting enough exercise, being overweight and having high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The risk of a heart attack can be lowered by adopting a healthy lifestyle and diet.
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Bath. It was funded by the Department of Health's Policy Research Programme. The study was published in the peer-reviewed British Medical Journal.
This time trend study looked at whether there was a difference between the number of people admitted to hospital with a heart attack in the five years before the smoking ban began in England compared to the 15 months afterwards.
The researchers wanted to assess the short-term effects of the smoking ban. Further longer-term studies are likely to follow this work.
Data for the analysis were obtained from hospital statistics collected on all patients receiving care from the NHS in England. The researchers were interested in the number of emergency admissions for heart attack between July 1 2002 and September 30 2008. The smoking ban came into effect on July 1 2007.
To assess whether there was a difference in the weekly rate of emergency admissions for heart attack before and after the ban, the researchers developed a statistical test called a 'segmented Poisson regression model'. This analysis took into account factors that can affect the rates of heart attack, such as changes in temperature, flu rates, the week of the year and the Christmas holidays. Factoring these in was important as admissions for heart attack can vary seasonally in England from a low in August to a high in January.
To explore the impact of the smoking ban in different population subgroups, the researchers grouped the data by gender and age (whether the patient was younger or older than 60).
Data on heart attack admissions before the smoking ban were used to predict the rates of heart attacks between July 1 2007 and September 30 2008 had the law not been passed. This figure was then compared to data of the actual rates of heart attacks in the 15 months after the smoking ban. The two figures were used to estimate the number of hospital admissions for heart attacks that were prevented as a result of the smoking ban in the first year of implementation.
Overall, between 2000 and 2008 there was a decrease in the number of emergency admissions for heart attack. This decrease was accelerated from around 2002 and was greater in older than younger age groups.
There was a seasonal pattern of heart attacks, with emergency admissions peaking over Christmas and early spring, and lower admission rates in summer. Most occurred in men and those over 60 years, with relatively few events in women under 60 years.
After the smoking ban came into effect there was a drop of 2.4% in the number of emergency admissions for heart attack. From this the researchers estimated that just over 1,200 emergency admissions for heart attack were prevented over a 12-month period.
In men and women aged 60 or older, there was a reduction of 3.07% and 3.82%, respectively, and men under 60 had a drop in admissions of 3.46%. Emergency admissions for younger women also dropped by 2.46%, but this was not statistically significant (and therefore is more likely to be a chance finding).
The researchers say that hospital admissions for heart attacks reduced after the introduction of the smoking ban.
They say the reductions they saw were smaller in England than in other jurisdictions, such as Scotland. They suggest that this may be because exposure to second-hand smoke in England was reduced in the run-up to the smoking ban, with many public places and workplaces already smoke-free. They also say that their study may have adjusted more than previous studies for other factors that could lead to heart attacks.
This study showed that the rates of hospital heart attacks have been falling since 2000, and that since the smoking ban the rates have fallen by an estimated additional 2.4%. The researchers suggest that this may be due to the general population being exposed to less second-hand smoke since the legislation came in.
They suggest that the reduction in heart attack admissions may not be as high as in other countries, because many public places in England were already smoke-free before the ban came into force. Other studies have suggested that almost 55% of employed adults in England already worked in a smoke-free environment before the ban.
Overall, this well-conducted research shows a clear association between the smoking ban and a decreased rate of hospital admissions. As the study did not look at smoking status or people's exposure to second-hand smoke before the ban, it is not possible to say how much of the decline is due to less exposure to second-hand smoke and how much is due to people giving up smoking. It would also be useful to have an assessment of how frequently individuals were exposed to smoke (if they were non-smokers) before the ban, for example if they were bar workers or worked in other smoky environments.
As this research was conducted over the short term, further studies are required to assess the long-term impact of the smoking ban. In addition to smoking there are other risk factors for heart attack, such as lack of exercise, being overweight and high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The risks of heart attack can be lowered by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Q: iOS Development: What are some reasons I should to use XAuth to authenticate a twitter user? I see many people using XAuth in their app to authenticate twitter users and I'm wondering what are some situations that I would want to use XAuth in my own apps.
Thanks so much for your wisdom!

A: With xAuth you don't have to jump through the hoops of OAuth.
The typical OAuth workflow goes like this:

*

*If you have a web app and the user wants to sign in to your app with their Twitter credentials, he or she is redirected to twitter.com and must allow your application to access their account. They're then redirected back to your app.

*If you have a desktop or mobile app, a browser will be opened where the user can grant your application access to their account. In exchange for the authorization, the user will be given a PIN code that they will input back in your app.

Both of the above workflows produce a key/secret pair that you can use to authenticate the user with Twitter in the future. This way you do not need to know the user's actual login credentials.
xAuth is the way to log in that most of us think of when we sign in somewhere. You take the user's login and password and send them off to Twitter, getting an access token back. Now you have to store and protect (or throw away) the user's login credentials. For this reason, Twitter requires app developers to email them for permission to use xAuth.
In my experience, most web apps stick with OAuth, since it's fairly non-intrusive when the user's already in a web browser anyway. Desktop and mobile apps tend to use xAuth, since it provides a more conventional and convenient sign-in experience.

A: XAuth makes things simple for approved apps.  Mostly it just builds on top of OAuth, which has the following advantages:

*

*Twitter strongly encourages it.

*Security.  You don't need to encrypt the user's username/password locally and deal with any issues if someone else figures out how to break your encryption and steal it.  If the auth credentials are stolen much less damage can be done -- they won't work on any other site (people often use the same password everywhere), your app has limited permissions to their Twitter account and can't completely destroy everything, etc.

*Users' peace of mind (because of (2)).  The security-conscious may not even use your app otherwise.

A record 65% of student GCSE entries gained headline 5+ A*-C grades with an increase in the overall pass rate to 97% at John Kyrle High School and Sixth Form Centre. Over half of the higher grade GCSEs included Maths and English with 74% of grades at C or above.
This completes an outstanding summer for the school. The DfES designation of John Kyrle as a High Performing Specialist College has been more than borne out with record results in SATs, A Level and now GCSEs.
Headteacher Nigel Griffiths said he was delighted for students, parents, staff and governors all of whom had worked very hard to gain these results. He was especially pleased with the performance of the school's identified high performing students and that of boys overall. Whilst girls' high scores continue to exceed those of others nationally and in similar schools, boys have closed the gap and are now only just behind in A*-C grades.
Assistant Headteacher, Rob Wallace, said that the results augured well for the large number of students returning to John Kyrle's Sixth Form.
A number of John Kyrle students are worthy of individual praise. These include Le Jin who joined the school from Hong Kong two years ago having English as a second language to his native Cantonese. Jin gained 2 As, 1 B and 6 Cs; Maria Taylor 9 A* - As and 4 Bs; Liz Nichols 8 A* - As and 5 Bs; Josh Smith 10 A - A*, and 2 Bs; Tim Alston 11 A* - As and 1 B; Stephanie Vinall 12 A* - As and 1 B; Dean Webley 12A* - As and 3 Bs; Rachel Mace 12 A* - A and 2 Bs; Vicky Handley 9 A* - A and 2 Bs and Rosie Turner 9 A* - As and 2 Bs.
Dan Robinson gained 9 A* - A, 4 Bs and a C whist training for and representing the UK at fencing in an international tournament in Korea.
Phinn Parsons who gained 10 GCSE passes took his GCSEs whist auditioning for X-Factor having already won the John Kyrle version.

Poets at Play: An Anthology of Modernist Drama
By Sarah Bay-Cheng
Publisher: Susquehanna University Press
With Barbara Cole
Poets at Play is the first book in over thirty years to consider the dramatic and theatrical legacy of American modernist poets, making these plays accessible to students and scholars in one concise volume. This critical anthology presents selected drama by American poets writing between 1910 and 1960 – Wallace Stevens, Edna St. Vincent Millay, H.D., E.E. Cummings, Marita Bonner, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, and Ezra Pound. Rather than simply treating their plays as poetic oddities, this anthology places the drama of modernist poets squarely within theater history, including production histories and considerations of staging practices, acting styles, and performance venues. The volume opens with a critical introduction to the plays within modernism and includes detailed individual introductions for each play with further reading.

Randy Talbot retires after 28 years with Colorado State Patrol
Retired Colorado State Patrol Cpl. Randy Talbot in his final formal department photo.Talbot worked in Archuleta County for his entire 28-year career prior to retiring Sept. 30.
"The mission of the Colorado State Patrol is to ensure a safe and secure environment for all persons by utilizing the strengths of our members to provide professional law enforcement services that reflect our Core Values of Honor, Duty and Respect."
Over his 28-year career with the CSP, it's obvious Cpl. Randy Talbot took to heart those core values of honor, duty and respect as he served his community — Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County.
"This community has always meant a lot to me," Talbot said.
On Sept. 30, Talbot retired from the CSP, bringing to a close a career in which he spent nearly three decades serving, protecting and saving the lives of those in Archuleta County.
In fact, Talbot may be the first trooper to serve his entire career in the community.
"For the most part, Pagosa Springs is a very nice place to be a law enforcement officer," Talbot said, reflecting on his time with the CSP and adding that he has no immediate intentions to leave.
Instead, he plans to take a year to relax, spend time with his family and work to affect change to the community in other ways, such as supporting the push to build a covered riding arena to promote the area's western heritage (Talbot has long been a supporter of keeping the area's western heritage alive, working with and running rodeos for at least 14 years).

These matcha and blackberry curd tarts may just be my favourite recipe yet. Simple, sweet and light, they make the most wonderful dessert or snack. These babies are vegan, gluten and refined sugar free and very almost raw. The flavour combination is something else, I promise you will love them!
The filling is like a set custard, it's not too rich but still sweet enough to make this feel like a very special treat. I love using matcha in my recipes, not only for it's beautiful flavour, but also for the heap of benefits it offers. If you're new to matcha, I'd definitely recommend this one. It's organic, ethically sourced, free from nasty additives and has a light, creamy flavour. Some brands of matcha I've tried in the past can be very bitter, which would pretty much ruin this recipe, so pick wisely!
The little berries are called 'pernettya' berries and although they aren't edible, don't they just suit the colours perfectly? I was so excited to find them in the garden.
I would love to know if you try this recipe, please do leave a comment below or post a pic on Instagram and tag me!
Prepare your crust by blending buckwheat to a flour in a food processor. Now add lucama, coconut sugar, dates and coconut oil and pulse until combined. Add water a tbsp at a time until a dough is formed. It should stick together easily in your fingers.
Grease your tart tins with a little coconut oil and press the dough evenly into the tins.Leave to chill in the freezer while you make the curd filling.
Add rice malt syrup, coconut oil and coconut milk to a small pan and heat gently until simmering. Mix lemon juice and cornflour together in a small bowl and add to the pan when bubbling. Whisk and keep gently simmering. The mixture will start to thicken after a couple of minutes, when it does, take off the heat and split the mix in half. Add matcha powder to one half and stir through.
Mash blackberries in a bowl with a little hot water until smooth and runny. Add to the remaining curd mix. If either of the mixes start to get to firm, add a little hot water and whisk until smooth again.
Now time to assemble! I prefer to loosen my tart shells first, so I can decorate and eat right away. If you used coconut oil to grease your tins it may have hardened, so just pop the bottom of the bases in a bowl of hot water for a second or two before gently removing. Pour spoons of each curd into your tart shells and stir with a chop stick to make pretty patterns. Pop back in the fridge to chill for an hour until set. Top with berries, coconut shreds and mint. Keep in the fridge for up to four days.


Bookish:The Returned was born when, after the anniversary of your mother's death, you dreamed of her. A few months later, you talked to a friend about your unrest with trying to reimagine the dream every time you went to sleep. Your friend posed the question, "What if she actually did come back, just for one night? And what if it wasn't just her? What if it happened to other people, too?" And from that conversation, your idea for the book was conceived. How did the finished book evolve from the original idea you had that day?JM: Great question! The primary evolution that occurred was that I, eventually, throttled back on how much of the story was about me. When I first started writing it, the story was centered around a man whose mother returned. But that simply didn't work. It was too confessional, too clunky—it was all over the place. So I stepped back. I stopped trying to make the novel about myself and really started trying to think about the reader first. In the end, it was a much better decision.

There are several ways in which vertically integrated health systems could improve quality and lower the costs of care. But there are also concerns that integrated systems may increase the price and costs of care without commensurate improvements in quality and outcomes.
Purpose. Despite a growing body of research on vertically integrated health systems, no systematic review that we know of compares vertically integrated health systems (defined as shared ownership or joint management of hospitals and physician practices) to nonintegrated hospitals or physician practices.
Methods. We conducted a systematic search of the literature published from January 1996 to November 2016. We considered articles for review if they compared the performance of a vertically integrated health system and examined an outcome related to quality of care, efficiency, or patient-centered outcomes.
Results. Database searches generated 7,559 articles, with 29 articles included in this review. Vertical integration was associated with better quality, often measured as optimal care for specific conditions, but showed either no differences or lower efficiency as measured by utilization, spending, and prices. Few studies evaluated a patient-centered outcome; among those, most examined mortality and did not identify any effects. Across domains, most studies were observational and did not address the issue of selection bias.
Practice implications. Recent evidence suggests the trend toward vertical integration will likely continue as providers respond to changing payment models and market factors. A growing body of research on comparative health system performance suggests that integration of physician practices with hospitals might not be enough to achieve higher-value care. More information is needed to identify the health system attributes that contribute to improved outcomes, as well as which policy levers can minimize anticompetitive effects and maximize the benefits of these affiliations.


I've been hard at work on some new art, and it is all available as a digital clip art collection! Being inspired by autumn coming and the fact that the leaves are already starting to change up here. I'm hoping to make many more of these types of collections going forward, and also some patterns along the way as well.
What fall project will you create?

It's Pride Month! Cities across the country and the world will be celebrating the LGBTQ community throughout June with a host of epic parades and lively events. We've rounded up a few of our favorite Pride destinations where you can get fully immersed in the spirit of joy and love that encompasses the days-long festivities. Grab your rainbow gear, then book a stay at a HI USA hostel so you can celebrate with new friends and fellow revelers.
As a historic center of gay culture and civil rights, San Francisco is probably one of the best cities in the world for Pride. The city fills up with people from all over the world who want to revel in the celebrations, which include an art and music festival, performances on 22 stages and venues, and a mammoth parade that runs down Market Street. The main party takes place at Civic Center Plaza in front of City Hall.
Where to stay: HI San Francisco City Center is a short walk from Civic Center, and the hostel's vibe is perfect for getting into the celebratory spirit.
New York City is home of the first official Pride parade, which took place in 1970, and today the march is the largest in the world (rivalled only by Sao Paulo Pride in Brazil). Spanning more than a week of events – from VIP parties and Youth Pride, to family movie nights and live concerts – New York's festivities are truly inclusive. The main march and rally are set to be epic as usual with thousands of people coming out in full rainbow force.
Where to stay: Located just a block from the subway, HI New York City hostel makes a good home base for Pride. The hostel's twice-weekly welcome parties are a great place to meet fellow Pride-inspired travelers.
In Chicago, Pride celebrations are stretched out over two weekends: the first is a two-day festival featuring live music and drag performances at a lively street fair, and the second is the main parade that ends in Lincoln Park. Throughout the month of June, the city also has parties, performances, and pageants, so even if you miss the big events, you won't miss out on the fun.
Where to stay: HI Chicago is not too far from Lincoln Park and many venues for Pride parties.
The Portland Pride Festival has been going since the early '70s and is a highlight of the city's year-round LGBTQ scene. More than 150 groups participate in the colorful parade, while the festival, which takes place at Waterfront Park, features booths, food, and live music along the river. In the week leading up to Pride, and throughout the weekend, there are events like the Gaylabration dance party and the Trans Pride Rally.
Where to stay: HI Portland Hawthorne is a good home-away-from-home place to stay in the cool Hawthorne neighborhood.
This year, San Diego's annual pride celebrations will include a music festival in Balboa Park, a 5K race, and a rally commemorating the historic Stonewall riots and honoring those at the forefront of the LGBT rights movement. Expect the city to be buzzing with people ready to party!
Where to stay: HI San Diego Downtown is in the middle of the bustling Gaslamp Quarter, and the friendly front desk staff can help you navigate to all of the weekend's Pride activities.
It's the most wonderful time of the year for music lovers: festival season! While it might seem complicated figuring out where to stay for parties like Lollapalooza and Governors Ball, it doesn't have to be. Here are some awesome music festivals taking place this summer and where to stay to get the most out of the experience.


Researchers have found a way to reduce dendrite growth in lithium-ion batteries. Creating a 3-D porous substrate out of sugar cubes and silicone, they found that it relieved stress and inhibited dendrite growth.
Research by a team at Arizona State University (ASU) indicates that both season and geography are critical in determining the effectiveness of adaptive technologies.
The US Department of Energy last week announced awards totaling about $60 million to support innovative solar energy research and development of both solar materials to improve efficiency and so-called "soft" costs such as solar photovoltaic system design, permitting, and installation.

its illegal administration maintained in Namibia and to transfer power to the people of Namibia with the assistance of the United Nations;
11. Demands again that South Africa, pending the transfer of powers provided for in the preceding paragraph:
(a) Comply fully in spirit and in practice with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
(b) Release all Namibian political prisoners, including all those imprisoned or detained in connection with offenses under so-called internal security laws, whether such Namibians have been charged or tried or are held without charge and whether held in Namibia or South Africa;
(c) Abolish the application in Namibia of all racially discriminatory and politically repressive laws and practices, particularly bantustans and homelands;
(d) Accord unconditionally to all Namibians currently in exile for political reasons full facilities for return to their country without risk of arrest, detention, intimidation or imprisonment;
12. Decides to remain seized of the matter and to meet on or before August 31, 1976, for the purpose of reviewing South Africa's compliance with the terms of this resolution and, in the event of noncompliance by South Africa, for the purpose of considering the appropriate measures to be taken under the Charter.
For the texts of Ambassador Moynihan's statements of Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, 1976, and the full text of Res. 385 (1976), see Dept. of State Bulletin, Vol. LXXIV, No. 1913, Feb. 23, 1976, pp. 243-246.
On August 18, 1976, a biracial constitutional committee, meeting in Windhoek, Namibia (South West Africa), issued a statement that December 31, 1978, "with reasonable certainty" could be set as the date for independence of South West Africa. There was no mention of elections. Asked for comment on that proposal on August 24, 1976, Robert L. Funseth, spokesman of the Department of State, said:
We welcome any move which would bring Namibia closer to independence. And while this most recent step. . . is a step in the right direction, it doesn't go far enough. We have reaffirmed on several occasions that a definite timetable, acceptable to the world community, be set for the achievement of Namibian independence. So we will just have to await further developments along this line
Our position remains unchanged in that we have called for all of the people and groups of Namibia to express their views freely... under U.N. supervision on the political future and constitutional structure of the country.
See Dept. of State news briefing, DPC 159, Aug. 24, 1976; The New York Times, Aug. 25, 1976, pp. 1-6. For Secretary of State Kissinger's efforts to bring about a settlement in southern Africa, including Namibia, see post, Ch. 13, § 1, pp. 644-645.
The U.N. Security Council, on April 22, 1976, adopted Resolution 389 (1976), reaffirming the right of the people of East Timor to selfdetermination and independence and calling upon Indonesia to "withdraw without further delay all its forces" from Portuguese Timor. It requested the U.N. Secretary-General to arrange consultations among the parties concerned and to ensure that the right to self-determination by the peoples of East Timor would be respected. Twelve countries voted for the resolution, none against; Japan and the
United States abstained. Prior to the final vote the Council failed by one vote to adopt an amendment proposed by Japan and supported by the United States that would have called upon Indonesia to withdraw its "remaining" forces, in recognition of a statement by Indonesia that some forces had been and were being withdrawn. Ambassador Albert W. Sherer, Jr., Deputy U.S. Representative on the Security Council, made a statement in explanation of the U.S. abstention, in which he said:
In the United States view there were only two useful purposes that a resolution on this subject could accomplish at this time. One would be to encourage and enhance the cooperation of all concerned and the other would be to extend the mandate of the SecretaryGeneral. In light of the decision of the Council not to accept the constructive Japanese proposal, a refusal explicitly to note steps to comply with existing resolutions, we do not believe that a spirit of cooperation has been encouraged. So far as the mandate of the Secretary-General is concerned, we do not believe a new resolution was needed in order to keep that mandate in being. His laudatory efforts and those of his special representative could and should be continued in any event. Their work demonstrates once again the indispensable role of the United Nations in the peaceful settlement of disputes.
In declining to vote for this resolution . . . we are not wavering in our support of the right of the people of East Timor or of any people anywhere in the world for equal rights and selfdetermination.
Press Release USUN-46(76), Apr. 22, 1976. In the operative paragraphs of the resolution, the Security Council
1. Calls upon all states to respect the territorial integrity of East Timor, as well as the inalienable right of its people to self-determination in accordance with General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV);
2. Calls upon the Government of Indonesia to withdraw without further delay all its forces from the Territory;
3. Requests the Secretary-General to have his special representative continue the assignment entrusted to him under paragraph 5 of Security Council Resolution 384 (1975) and pursue consultations with the parties concerned:
4. Further requests the Secretary-General to follow the implementation of the present resolution and submit a report to the Security Council as soon as possible: 5. Calls upon all states and other parties concerned to cooperate fully with the United Nations to achieve a peaceful solution to the existing situation and to facilitate the decolonization of the Territory:
6. Decides to remain seized of the situation.
Continuity and Succession of States
For information on succession of states in respect of treaties, see post, Ch. 5, § 2, pp. 220-221.
Diplomatic Relations and Recognition Diplomatic Relations; Recognition and Nonrecognition of Governments
On March 15, 1976, the United States announced that it had suspended diplomatic relations with the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea on March 14, four days after receiving word that the United States Ambassador and the United States Consul had been declared personae non gratae following a brief, uneventful visit to Equatorial Guinea. The two diplomats had been accredited to Equatorial Guinea, but were resident in the nearby country of Cameroon. Robert L. Funseth, Department of State Special Assistant for Press Relations, stated:
This action on the part of the Equatorial Guinean Government came without any official warning whatsoever and without any explanation offered. We consider it an unwarranted affront not only to the two individuals concerned, who in their brief visits to Equatorial Guinea have worked in good faith to promote friendly relations, but also to the United States Government, and to accepted norms of international diplomacy. There had never been any previous indication, direct or indirect, from the Government of Equatorial Guinea that it was dissatisfied with the activities of the U.S. representatives. On the contrary, these visits have been carried out with the concurrence and cooperation of the Government of Equatorial Guinea.
With some regret, we have decided that we have no reasonable alternative but to suspend diplomatic relations with Equatorial Guinea, and we are so informing the Equatorial Guinean Government.
Spain was thereafter designated as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Equatorial Guinea.
Dept. of State News Briefing, DPC 49, Mar. 15, 1976; Dept. Notice, Apr. 8, 1976. Iraq
Horace F. Shamwell, Jr., Deputy Assistant Legal Adviser for Management, Department of State, gave a legal opinion on November 11, 1976, to the Visa Office of the Department in which he distinguished the severance of diplomatic relations with Iraq from "nonrecognition" of the Iraqi Government. His opinion upheld the eligibility of diplomatic representatives assigned to the Iraqi Interest
Section in Washington for A-1 visas under section 101 (a) (15)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 (a) (15) (A)(i)). Mr. Shamwell's opinion stated, in relevant part:
since formal recognition was extended to the Iraqi Government in 1963, and since no "derecognition" of that same government has occurred, notwithstanding the break of diplomatic relations in 1967, an individual who is assigned to the Iraqi Interest Section and who is in fact a career diplomatic or consular officer is entitled to be issued an A-1 visa since the United States has recognized his government as the de jure government of Iraq.
Dept. of State File No. P77 0016–314. The above-cited section of the Immigration and Nationality Act establishes a class of aliens to whom A-1 visas may be issued. The class is defined as follows: "An ambassador, public minister, or career diplomatic or consular officer who has been accredited by a foreign government recognized de jure by the United States and who is accepted by the President or by the Secretary of State, and the members of the alien's immediate family. . . ." The Dept. of State accordingly authorized issuance of diplomatic A-1 visas to Iraqi diplomats assigned to the United States.
Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, in a press conference at Harvard University on October 15, 1976, stated:
We have made it clear to the Government of Vietnam that progress towards better relations with the United States absolutely depends on an accounting for the missing in action. We are prepared to discuss this with the Vietnamese. We've had diplomatic exchanges in Paris, and we expect to start some discussions with them in the near future on that subject.
. so far, the Vietnamese Government has not been particularly cooperative. They have been feeding out just a few names to influence particular decisions, but we think that as a question of principle we cannot let the Vietnamese Government blackmail American families with an anguish that has been going on for years, in order to do something that they should have done under the Armistice Agreement [Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet-Nam (TIAS 7568; 24 USŤ 485)] . . . . Dept. of State Press Release, No. 518, Oct. 15, 1976; Dept. of State Bulletin, Vol. LXXV, No. 1950, Nov. 8, 1976, p. 573. On July 2, 1976, the reunification of North VietNam and South Viet-Nam was formalized by a declaration set forth by the National Assembly of Vietnam. The official name of the newly reunified state is the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and Hanoi is the capital.
On November 12, 1976, Robert L. Funseth, spokesman of the Department of State, announced to the press that the Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy in Paris, Samuel Gammon, met that day with Tran Hoan, Counselor of the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Paris. He said that the United States had proposed the
meeting in March 1976 in an effort to gain an accounting for the missing in action (MIA's), which in turn could lead to progress toward normalization of relationships. At the meeting, he said, the U.S. representative emphasized the need to resolve the question of American personnel unaccounted for in the Indochina war before there could be any improvement of relations between the two countries. He added that "both sides agreed that they would study the positions taken at the meeting and be back in touch with one another." Dept. of State News Briefing, DPC 212, Nov. 12, 1976, pp. A6-7.
After a military junta seized power in Thailand on October 6, 1976, Frederick Z. Brown, Director of the Office of Press Relations in the Department of State, in a news briefing on October 8, stated:
We have had no break, of course, in our relations with the Thai Government and have no reason to believe that our present relations cannot continue.
Dept. of State News Briefing, DPC 191, Oct. 8, 1976.
Acts Short of Recognition
On March 26, 1976, the U.N. Security Council decided, without objection, to invite the representative of Angola to participate in the Security Council debate on a complaint brought on behalf of the African group of states at the United Nations, "concerning the act of aggression committed by South Africa against the People's Republic of Angola." Ambassador William W. Scranton, U.S. Representative to the United Nations, stated for the record:
my Government has agreed to the participation in this debate of representatives of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola on the customary understanding that such agreement in no way constitutes an act of recognition.
U.N. Doc. S/PV.1900, Mar. 26, 1976, p. 3.
Recognition of States
The Department of State supplied to the press on November 1, 1976, a statement of the criteria applied by the United States in deciding whether to recognize a new state. The statement follows:
In the view of the United States, international law does not require a state to recognize another entity as a state; it is a matter for the judgment of each state whether an entity merits recognition as a state. In reaching this judgment, the United States has traditionally looked to the establishment of certain facts. These


Once you have chosen your dream fitted kitchen from The Kitchen Depot, we know that you will want it installed in your home as soon as possible. While some customers elect to appoint their own fitters to undertake the installation, (a prerogative, with which we have the greatest respect), most nevertheless prefer to leave it to the kitchen fitting experts at The Kitchen Depot.
Our dedicated fitted kitchen teams have been with us for many successful years and have been appointed not only because of their demonstrable skills and craftsmanship, but also because they share our values, our ethos and our commitment to our customers. Many of the teams are family units themselves, and include joiners, plumbers, electricians and tilers.
Our fitters' philosophy embraces the "first time fit" principle – getting it right first time – every time. Yet as Robert Burns once famously wrote; "The best-laid schemes o'mice an' men, gang aft agley".
So, despite our best efforts, if in the event something isn't quite right with your fitted kitchen, you won't find us avoiding the issue – we'll fix it right away: no fuss, no hassle, no problem. That's our fitted kitchen promise. And we guarantee it.

The Specifications for a Kicker 8-Inch Solo-Baric L7 Box
by Nicholas Johnson
Kicker has been a wide distributor of car audio components since 1980. They have dedicated themselves to the development of high-quality and high-performance audio components including subwoofers, amplifiers and speaker systems. The Solo-Baric L7 series of subwoofers is a group of square subwoofers which come in 15-inch, 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch models. The 8-inch model provides the lowest performance output but at the lowest cost.
The 8-inch model of the Kicker Solo-Baric L7 line has an impedance of 2 or 4 OHM dual voice coils (DVC). Higher OHMs provides greater electrical resistance and a tighter sound but should match the resistance of the other audio components. It is sensitive to 83.6 decibels and produces a frequency response between 28 to 100 hertz.
Size Specifications
The Kicker Solo-Baric L7 8-inch model, like its name, has a square size of 8 inches by 8 inches. It has a mounting depth of 4 3/4 inches and requires a mounting cutout of 7 1/4 inches square. If placed in a sealed mounting box, the box should have an interior volume of 0.33 to 0.75 cubic feet. If the box is vented the necessary volume range increases to 0.66 to 1.0 cubic feet.
The Solo-Baric L7 series features heat-reduction tweaks such as a T-shaped cutout top plate and a solid interior pole at the cone base. The cone structure is the Kicker SoloKon molded cone which produces additional power. Tinsel leads provide the SoloKon cone with a higher degree of movement.

SwRI and UTSA researchers to advance clean emissions, explore novel antimicrobials
San Antonio — June 24, 2014 —Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) today announced funding for two new joint research projects to advance clean emission technologies and study novel antimicrobials targeting Lyme disease. Funding through the organizations' Connecting through Research Partnerships ("Connect") program has been granted for $250,000 through August 2015 — $125,000 for each project.
Established in 2010, the Connect program, coordinated between SwRI and the UTSA Office of the Vice President for Research, annually funds projects to stimulate inter-organizational research between the two institutions in fields such as advanced materials, chemistry and chemical engineering, energy, the environment, security and manufacturing. To date, seven projects have been funded totaling $1,230,863.
"Development of New Ruthenium Catalysts for the Low-temperature Reduction of NOx Emissions from Vehicle Exhaust" will be led by SwRI Principal Scientist Dr. Gordon J. Bartley of the Engine, Emissions and Vehicle Research Division and Assistant Professor Zachary J. Tonzetich in the UTSA Department of Chemistry.
One of the main groups of pollutants resulting from fuel combustion is the oxides of nitrogen, or NOx. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies effectively reduce NOx, but they require high operating temperatures above 200 degrees C. Future fuel economy standards will result in lower exhaust gas temperatures and limit the use of high-temperature SCR. SwRI and UTSA plan to develop a novel catalyst for low-temperature SCR to reduce emissions.
"Evaluation of Anti-Bacterial Effects of Novel Formulations that Target an Essential Metabolic Pathway of the Agent of Lyme Disease" will be led by SwRI Principal Scientist Dr. Gloria Gutierrez of the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Division and Associate Professor of Bacterial Pathogenesis Janakiram Seshu in the UTSA Department of Biology. Seshu is also a member of the South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases' Center of Excellence in Infection Genomics.
Lyme disease remains a challenge to treat with more than 300,000 new cases every year in the United States and no viable vaccine currently available. Gutierrez and Seshu expect to inhibit the mevalonate pathway – an essential metabolic pathway – of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial agent of Lyme disease. This research could hinder the growth and survival of the agent of Lyme disease, and the principles can be readily used to control other infectious diseases caused by multi-drug-resistant strains of bacteria.

Inherited Responsibility and Historical Reconciliation in East Asia
Melissa Nobles and Jun-Hyeok Kwak, eds.
New York: Routledge Press, 2013.
Contemporary East Asian societies are still struggling with the complex legacies of colonialism, war and domination. Years of Japanese imperial occupation followed by the Cold War have entrenched competing historical understandings of responsibility for past crimes in Korea, China, Japan and elsewhere in the region. In this context, even the impressive economic and cultural networks that have developed over the past sixty years have failed to secure peaceful coexistence and overcome lingering attitudes of distrust and misunderstanding in the region.
This book examines the challenges of historical reconciliation in East Asia, and, in doing so, calls for a reimagining of how we understand both historical identity and responsibility. It suggests that by adopting a 'forward-looking' approach that eschews obsession with the past, in favor of a reflective and deliberative engagement with history, real progress can be made towards peaceful coexistence in East Asia. With chapters that focus on select experiences from East Asia, while simultaneously situating them within a wider comparative perspective, the contributors to this volume focus on the close relationship between reconciliation and 'inherited responsibility' and reveal the contested nature of both concepts. Finally, this volume suggests that historical reconciliation is essential for strengthening mutual trust between the states and people of East Asia, and suggests ways in which such divisive legacies of conflict can be overcome.
Providing both an overview of the theoretical arguments surrounding reconciliation and inherited responsibility, alongside examples of these concepts from across East Asia, this book will be valuable to students and scholars interested in Asian politics, Asian history and international relations more broadly.

Giancarlo Valle's Wanderlust Finds Its Way into His Designs
Mieke Ten Have
Photography by Matthew Morrocco
Designer Giancarlo Valle with some of his models.
"You almost can't separate architecture and interiors, and the problem in the United States is that the two are very segregated. I think it hurts the project," opines Giancarlo Valle on the American way of creating buildings and the spaces therein. Valle, whose eponymous Manhattan firm probes the intersection of architecture, interior design and furniture making, works through these disciplines with a historical approach. "You look at the established mentors in architecture—Gio Ponti, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier—and they did a little bit of everything," he says. It is through this combination of forms that Valle separates his practice from the paradigmatic rigor of a straightforward architecture or interior design firm, and his approach has paid off; he has been garnering accolades from top design magazines both here and abroad since establishing Studio Giancarlo Valle in 2016.
"We have a newfound appreciation for a lost craft that is often so industry-driven. We're taking on fewer projects, but we take on more in them, starting with the bones. That is how we distinguish ourselves," he says. While his approach might be novel, Valle has a pedigreed background. Having studied art and then architecture at the University of Michigan, Valle received his Master of Architecture from Princeton in 2010. "There the focus was on scholarship and it was not so applicable. Postmodernism still existed, but it was more conceptual than it was about building," he recalls. After graduating, he went on to work for several high-profile firms, including Snøhetta and SHoP Architects. He also took on projects of his own, including Phillip Lim's store in Los Angeles and a studio and retreat for Marilyn Minter, who he met while working for Stan Allen. "Giancarlo came up with some spectacular ideas after we commissioned him to do our furniture as well. We loved everything he did," says Minter.
But it was the DUMBO apartment that he shares with wife Jane Keltner de Valle, Architectural Digest's Style Director, and their children that sent Valle down the decorating rabbit hole. Calling it an "obsession" he wanted to perfect, he turned an erstwhile industrial loft into a warm, layered home, punctuated by strong recurring shapes and unexpected color combinations. Furniture by Milo Baughman, Pierre Jeanneret and Line Vautrin jostles with Native American textiles, Ethiopian chairs and works by contemporaries like Green River Project LLC and Sam Stewart.
The peripatetic nature of his childhood informs both his interiors and his own furniture line. One of his more well-known pieces, the Smile Chair, was loosely inspired by the carved forms of Ethiopian furniture. "We acquired a lot," says Valle, who was born to Peruvian parents of Italian descent and spent his childhood living in San Francisco, Caracas, Chicago and Guatemala. "Our homes were filled with pieces from Peru, Lagos, Ethiopia. It was a weird, rich mix of dark woods and painted things. I hated it at the time—no one got it. I look back on it now and I want it all, and I want to filter it."
The designer is currently collaborating with Domeau & Pérès on a limited-edition chair for Les Ateliers Courbet and is hoping to delve deeper into upholstery. "Stone, wood and the materials of architecture are so familiar; in a way, they could be a default. But the challenge of understanding upholstery—I have so much respect for it." While Valle may experiment with distilling and reforming aesthetic traditions, his reverence for the historical is the prism through which he creates and edits. Throughout his office are fantastical maquettes, a modernist dollhouse dream. In one, Valle is testing room layouts for a current project, deploying scale models of iconic chairs by Pierre Paulin and a sofa by Jean Royère. While most practices stick to 3D renderings of projects for clients, Valle's maquette approach is refreshingly anachronistic and somehow more visually digestible.
"You learn so much through the process, in just understanding the scale. We are always in dialogue with history in some way. That is the essence of design to me," says Valle. "Today, we're not stuck to a specific style, but it's beyond 'eclectic.' I hate that word. What does it mean, anyway? You need a point of view."

President Trump demands a wall and a military presence on the US-Mexico border, and blames Democrats for failing to get a deal done on DACA. Ballot initiatives are making their final signature drives. And candidates are trying to woo delegates.
