"When receiving the ambulances, I recalled those who lost their lives before they reached health institutions due to the shortage of ambulances," Harari Regional State Deputy Chief Regasa Kefale said at a formal delivery ceremony.
The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) has donated two fully-equipped ambulances to the Ethiopian town of Harar, 523km east of Addis Ababa.
Kefale told Anadolu Agency that "as the ambulances are well equipped to provide medical care to patients, they will help save the lives of many people, in particular women."
"The Turkish government has carried out commendable activities in the social sector, in particular in safe water provision and the education sectors," the Ethiopian official said.
For his part, Mohamed Ahmed, head of the ancient town's health bureau, lauded the Turkish government for its contributions.
"The Turkish act was so fast to support those who are in need… They lived up to their word," Ahmed said.
Enver Arpa, head of TIKA's Middle East and Africa department, said Ankara would do its utmost to enhance existing relations with Ethiopia.
"The Turkish government is fully engaged in supporting the needy. The [Turkish] government covered the full cost of the ambulances," he said.
Earlier, the Turkish government had assisted in improving the town's water services, renovating cultural and tourism sites, repairing health institutions, and helping professionals exchange their experiences, among other things.
"It [the Turkish government] will also renovate the [historic] Al-Nejashi Mosque in the northern part of Ethiopia and maintain the Jugol Hospital in Harar," Arpa asserted.
Maintenance work on the home of Mustafa Ali, a Turk who had lived in Harar decades ago, is already underway. Ali's home is now one of the town's heritage sites.
The ancient, walled city was built between the 13th and 16th centuries. It was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2006 in recognition of its cultural importance.
Harar's Old City (Harar Jugol), said to be Islam's fourth holiest city, boasts 82 mosques – three of which date from the 10th century – and 102 Muslim shrines.

Becoming a Stable Bridge
Crossing the Bridge
Biblical Social Justice
Detention Centers
Building Enduring Multi-Ethnic Relationships
The murder of George Floyd, the pandemic, and the unrest in the streets have left many Christians feeling disheartened, divided, and unsure where to go next in fulfilling their Biblical mandate to heal societal and ethnic divisions. Last month, in response, to this unease, unCUFFED hosted a forum entitled Becoming A Stable Bridge, in which we discussed how Christians can build relationships across disparate communities, speak bold truth while practicing empathetic listening, and stand united without uniformity.
Now, on September 8th at 7:30 pm, we will host a follow-up entitled Crossing the Bridge: Building Enduring Multi-Ethnic Relationships. We will be exploring the importance and real-life application of discipleship and walking alongside people who are different from us or with whom we have disagreements based on ethnicity, age, and political affiliation.
Understanding the precise meaning of a word is critical to building consensus. For our forum, we have decided to use the word ethnicity rather than race. The New Testament uses the Greek word ethnos to describe a tribe, nation, or people group. In Matthew 21:43 Jesus says, "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to an ethnos producing the fruit of it." Modern scholarship regards race as a social construct and the scientific definition of race is the human species divided into distinct groups on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences. Race seems fixed and ethnos or ethnicity fluid. The unity of the church is dependent on Christians not feeling boxed in to fixed groups based on skin color, age or political affiliation but choosing to be a member of a tribe that can change and grow; showing the world that there can be unity even in the midst of disagreement.
The forum will address what we must do individually and as the church to cross these ethnic, generational, and political divides in order to bring unity to our nation. Please join us, we value your input and participation.

« Back to view allSystem 3 Climbs The Japanese Charts!
POSTED BY System 3 ON January 25, 2012
System 3 Outperforms Industry Giants With #2 Chart Position In Japan!
Going straight in
at #2 in the Japanese download charts, the officially licensed Ferrari The Race Experience marks System 3's first independent foray into the Far Eastern marketplace.
After launching on December 15 2011, Ferrari The Race Experience managed to outsell other juggernaut titles such as Metal Gear Solid HD, Metal Slug and King Of Fighters in a race to become the Christmas No 1.
The famously realistic Ferrari racing simulation appeals directly to the Japanese hardcore racing fans, who have found it hard to satisfy their highly technical desires outside of an expensive PC set-up. Ferrari The Race Experience provides exactly what they're looking for.
Ferrari The Race Experience spearheaded System 3's commitment to bringing high quality PlayStation 3 titles directly to the PlayStation Network. It is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli (The Official Game from System 3) and builds on the highly accurate simulation engine with more cars, tracks and racing modes.
System 3's Japanese office, headed up by Takeshi Shimizu, was opened in early 2012 in preparation for an onslaught of quality digital releases via the PlayStation Network. Ferrari The Race Experience is the first title to be released from the fold, with other classic System 3 IPs following later in 2012.
System 3 is one of the last remaining independent UK games publishers, having been first formed in1982 by industry stalwart Mark Cale. "I'm hugely proud and honoured to be able to share this success with everyone," beamed Mark.
"2012 marks System 3's 30th anniversary and you can't get much better than our first independent Japanese release doing so well. I can't recall any other western company entering the Japanese market and doing so well in any charts. No other independent publisher has ever been able to move into a completely new territory and have such a success, so quickly. Takeshi Shimizu and his team have done us proud in making our entry into a new and exciting marketplace so smooth.
I would also like to highlight the efforts of our close and talented friends at Eutechnyx, who we have now worked with on 3 racing titles. It's thanks to their hard work that we have such a great offering for Japan and the rest of the world."
Ferrari The Race Experience is available now in Europe, North America, South America, Japan and the emerging territories.
RIDING HIGH: Ferrari The Race Experience went straight in at #2 in the Japanese download charts. A few weeks later and it was still holding firm at #4!

Can you believe we're already nearing the end of March? We are quickly moving towards the end of what is hopefully turning out to be your best year yet and it's time to start turning attention to the summer season! Lining up your summer intensive schedule can be as daunting as your yearly schedule as there is a lot to include in a condensed amount of time. With so many things to think about, it's important that you sit down sooner vs. later to really consider what the most important elements are that you wish to include in your program. It's also wise to be ahead of the game so you can lock in those teachers you are really hoping to bring in. Here's a little help when considering the design of your summer program!
1. Goals: What are you hoping summer intensive provides for your students? Is your main goal to maintain their technical training without interruption? Eager to expose them to new choreographic styles? Start setting works for the following year? Provide them with a challenging and "intensive" program to progress their training? Keep it more recreational for students to just have fun over the summer?
2. Dates: When are you planning on holding your summer intensive? What month during the summer? How many weeks will it be? Will you have one session or two?
3. Ages & Levels: How will you break down your ages and levels to group the classes? Baby classes, a junior and senior level, company classes, etc.?
4. Content & Scheduling: What classes will you include? Ballet, lyrical, contemporary, jazz? Will you incorporate additional classes like musical theater, tap and hip-hop as well as a few new, fun classes for them to try like African, Bollywood, Improvisation or Ballroom? How varied do you want to take the summer curriculum? How many times a week will they have each of the classes? Will ballet be held every morning to start the day? Hip hop-hop to end, etc. etc?
5. Faculty: Who will be teaching the classes? Permanent faculty? Guest Teachers? Both? Will you be bringing in special master-classes and workshops throughout the summer? How many master-classes will you have over the summer session(s)?
6. Eligibility: Is the summer intensive open solely to enrolled yearly students or is it open to the public? Same goes for your master-class series, are they reserved for your students or open to the public?
7. Requirements: Are you making summer intensive mandatory for your company members? How will you implement this to ensure attendance is 100%? Will the scheduling of company summer intensive vary from general student schedule? Will you hold it later in the summer when families are back from vacation? When and how will you address the prerequisite to your dancers and their families? If beginning choreography for the following season, how will this affect their involvement in the pieces if they are not present?


Susan Jacoby, in her recent article for The Humanist, quotes Elizabeth Cady Stanton in contending that religion is detrimental not only to humanity in general but to women's issues in particular.
You may go over the world and you will find that every form of religion which has breathed upon this earth has degraded woman…What power is it that makes the Hindoo [sic] woman burn herself upon the funeral pyre of her husband? Her religion. What holds the Turkish woman in the harem? Her religion. By what power do the Mormons perpetuate their system of polygamy? By their religion. Man, of himself, could not do this; but when he declares, "Thus saith the Lord," of course he can do it.
Even a lifelong atheist like Jacoby can't deny the good religion has done, but we've lost our edge. Christianity—at least in the West—is no longer the religion that elevates the marginalized or succors the oppressed.
I say we get to being incarnational, as the Church should.
I Can So Take a Joke!

Despite increased pledges of support for the Ebola epidemic, Nancy Aossey of International Medical Corps says there are still not enough operational efforts on the ground. Gwen Ifill talks to Aossey, CEO of one of the few nongovernmental groups treating patients in West Africa, about the current treatment resources available for patients and training efforts and equipment for health workers.
Despite new pledges of aid, international leaders provided downbeat assessments of the current battle against Ebola. The head of the World Bank said the international community — community had — quote — "failed miserably" in its initial response. The director of the CDC said the situation reminded him of the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
We get our own assessment from one of the few nongovernmental groups treating patients in West Africa.
International Medical Corps has built a treatment clinic in Liberia and is constructing other facilities in both Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Its president and CEO, Nancy Aossey, joins me now.
How many bed, how many facilities, how many people would you say that you're engaged in treating now?
So, in Liberia, International Medical Corps opened up a 70-bed hospital — or actually we call it a treatment unit. We opened that up in mid-September. We are scaling up and we will be opening up another treatment unit in Sierra Leone.
In Liberia, we have about 200 people working in this treatment unit, trying to contain it, as well as treating people who have Ebola, with the hopes that they will recover, and they are recovering when they receive treatment.
Do you have any sense that the progress of this disease is being — is slowing?
Well, let me say that it's clear that efforts, like ours and other organizations', are working. When there are treatment efforts, when there are health care workers to treat patients as they come in — I mean, our first patients that arrived to our treatment unit, they died at the doorstep.
But now we see that patients are recovering, and they're returning back to their families. So any efforts around treatment and containment are working. The problem and the challenge is that there are just not enough operational efforts on the ground. That's the challenge.
Is that because a lack of international action or nongovernmental action, or is it because the infrastructure in these communities is so difficult that even if you sent them 10 collapsible hospitals, pop-up hospitals, they couldn't build them?
Well, it's a number of factors. One, certainly, the health care infrastructures are very weak in West Africa, under-resourced. They don't have enough health workers. That's one thing. The second thing is the spread wasn't contained more quickly some months ago.
International donors are stepping up. In fact, our treatment unit in Liberia was made possible from a grant from USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. It took $5 million to open that up and about a million a month.
So, part of it is the resources need to be there, but also people are really afraid. They're afraid to provide treatment because they also need to keep their own health workers safe. And so one of the things that we have done is we have said to other community health people as well as other international NGOs, we will provide case management protocol training.
We will train their workers so that they can open up more treatment facilities. The problem we have now is that the disease and the outbreak is being — is outpacing the operational efforts on ground. There are a lot of plans in place, by the way, to change that, and we're still within that window.
Well, this part about how you keep health workers safe is something that was raised in a piece we had on the "NewsHour" last night about CDC workers preparing to go abroad. It takes 20 minutes to get into one of those suits, as long to get out of the suits and it's possibly more difficult.
Are you suffering at all from lack of willingness of volunteers to take all that on?
So, the suits, it's very complicated. We have — you can only stay them in about two hours in Africa. It's that hot. We have a buddy system, because people make mistakes. And so we have someone watching the other health worker so that they don't infect themselves through a basic mistake.
But what we are finding is that when proper — when people are properly equipped and they have the proper protocols in place, they can successfully treat patients and it can be contained. But that training, that knowledge is very important. And so what we have done is, we have said, you know, when organizations come to, say, Liberia, we will provide seven to 10 days of training, and as well the U.S. military is putting together a 25-bed hospital in Liberia specifically to take care of health workers, because one of the challenges around — you know, they call it the nurse killer in Liberia.
One of the challenges around Ebola is that health workers are willing to step forward and help, and they're very heroic, but our recruitment efforts are helped greatly by the fact that we can treat them if they catch Ebola.
An organization like yours, International Medical Corps, Ebola is not your only goal.
You also are working in places like the Central African Republic or in Syria among refugees. How do you stop resources from being stretched too thin to handle all of these crises at one time?
Right. Well, we're in unprecedented times. We have six category three emergencies.
That is the highest emergency.
Never in our history have we had that. I mean, one of the toughest years would have been two a year. And we have six in — we have six now in the last six months alone. So, you know, it's all hands on deck. We're hopeful that supporters, both government agencies and private sector — the private sector is starting to step into the Ebola fight, the refugee crises.
They're an important part of these efforts. But the fact is, it's like we have to do it on all fronts, frankly. It's impossible to pick among these because they're all at the highest level they can be.
There are some places where they have been able to stop the spread and some places where they haven't. We heard the head of the World Bank today say that there is — nothing less than the future of Africa is at stake right now.
This can be stopped and it can be contained, but it has to be. It absolutely has to be stopped, because the fact of the matter is, we have — here we have two countries, Sierra Leone and Liberia, who are coming back from the brink of civil war.
I mean, they have done so much to come back from where they were, and for them to be now dealing with Ebola on top of it, this — this crisis is a global crisis. It's a world problem. It's not just West Africa. We are all in it together. And we have to take the view that it is everyone's problem, and whatever resources it takes, we have to be there, because it's going to continue to spread if we're not there.
And it has to be stopped and contained at the source.
Nancy Aossey, president and CEO of the International Medical Corps, thank you very much.
We all die, so why don't we die well?

There are many ways to invest — from very safe choices such as CDs and money market accounts to medium-risk options such as corporate bonds, and even higher-risk picks such as stock index funds.
Investment is an asset acquired or invested in to build wealth and save money from the hard earned income or appreciation. Investment is primarily made to obtain an additional source of income or gain profit from the investment over a specific period of time.
Put simply, $10K is not typically considered a lot of money. Rather, according to our research, the value at which most people consider to be "a lot of money" sits between $500K and $2.5 Million.
The volume weighted moving average places a greater emphasis on periods with higher market volume. The volume weighted moving average is a better indicator when combined with another trading instrument for trading signals. The simple moving average is a great tool to combine the volume weighted moving average.
Dollar volume is calculated by trading volume multiplied by price. For example, if XYZ has a total trading volume of 100,000 shares at $5, then the dollar volume is $500,000. Money managers use dollar volume metrics to determine whether a stock has enough liquidity to support a position.
Average daily trading volume is typically calculated over 20 or 30 days. Calculate average daily trading volume by adding up trading volume over the last X number of days. Then, divide the total by X. For example, sum the last 20 days of trading volume and divide by 20 to get the 20-day ADTV.

Volume measures the number of shares traded in a stock or contracts traded in futures or options. Volume can be an indicator of market strength, as rising markets on increasing volume are typically viewed as strong and healthy. When prices fall on increasing volume, the trend is gathering strength to the downside.
The Anchor Date and Anchor Time fields can be edited manually, but StockCharts provides a much quicker way to update these values: simply hover over the chart, position the crosshairs on the bar where you want to start your Anchored VWAP overlay, and click on that bar to set the new Anchor Date and Anchor Time.
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. The result of that calculation is the MACD line. A nine-day EMA of the MACD called the "signal line," is then plotted on top of the MACD line, which can function as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
The key differences between VWAP and VWMA are: VWAP is cumulative of average price with respect to volume. VWMA is a type of moving averages. The indicator calculates the average of closing prices with respect to the volume.
Investing has a set of four basic elements that investors use to break down a stock's value. In this article, we will look at four commonly used financial ratios—price-to-book (P/B) ratio, price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio, and dividend yield—and what they can tell you about a stock.

Important things to know when learning how to read a stock chart
Identify the trend line. This is that blue line you see every time you hear about a stock – it's either going up or down right?
Look for lines of support and resistance.
Know when dividends and stock splits occur.
Understand historic trading volumes.
The most inexpensive way to purchase company shares is through a discount broker. A discount broker provides little financial advice, while the more expensive full-service broker provides comprehensive services like advice on stock selections and financial planning.
A Volume Moving Average (VMA) is like any simple moving average, except that it is applied it to volume rather than to price data. By smoothing out individual surges in the volume activity of an index, VMAs allow you to see the general trends and volume patterns of an index.
What is Anchored VWAP? Anchored VWAP displays the volume-weighted average price for a specific time period, starting from a user-selected point. In other words, Anchored VWAP shows the price of an asset adjusted for its volume starting from any point chosen on the chart.
Volume weighted average price (VWAP) and moving volume weighted average price (MVWAP) are trading tools that can be used by all traders to ensure they are getting the best price. However, these tools are used most frequently by short-term traders and in algorithm-based trading programs.

I made sure that some of the most important people in the company feel the need of such a tool and they did, so the first battle is won. Each of them had her own needs and that was good.
But, further, I had to make sure that the CRM that I proposed them is really good. Hard task trying not to disappoint the pillars of the company. I finally found the one that I decided to be a good one and researched it and tried it out one week. The first impressions were good so I went on and showed it to my people. They liked it.
I had the consent of a couple of people - the most important ones but, still, too little comparing with the total number of the employees. So we decided to give a demo to everyone. The feedback was both good and bad, the reactions were contradictory (I must say that worse than I expected). However, asking for an assessment of the tool on a scale from 1 to 10, the demo CRM was graded 7.5 on average. And that was the third step. We knew that we had to make better than that. On the other hand, people started thinking of a new solution as a new way of communicating and improving their life. (Maybe these were not their words, but mine; however, they started thinking over).
We started to implement my needs. I preferred to be the testing rodent myself and fail victoriously rather than wasting other people's time and energy. Each implemented customization was a new success. Soon, my needs overlapped with other's needs and requirements were flowing towards us from all departments. And, guess what - we succeeded to avoid conflicts of the requirements. How? Coming up with a brand new work procedure.
I have been using the CRM for a couple of weeks. Ever since the flow of information through CRM conquered all departments, some sooner, some later, but all of them.
Current status: we implemented 75% of our internal needs and adopted the CRM in about 40% of the activities.
2. The delays in task execution was reduced with 15% simply by reminding the owners their priorities.
3. Guess what? We received the payments of the invoices sooner with -12%. How? Again, by reminding the clients that they have due invoices.
5. 53 routine jobs are fully automated. They cost nothing, but generate income.
4. This is NICE. The CRM replaced the job of the sales manager for 8% of the time, the job of the technical manager with 5%, which means that the CRM is worth already 12% of a full-time manager (and this in only 2 weeks).
The results of adopting a good CRM are already amazing. I will come back with some performance and result indicators after the first month of implementation. Until then, wish us good luck!

Al Bashir to attend AU Summit in Malawi — Sudan
The announcement Malawi President Joyce Banda made that Malawi will ask the African Union not to invite Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir to the organization
In a controversial position
summit set to take place in Lilongwe in July has infuriated the embattled leader.
President Banda on Friday told the media: "I have written them because of the economic implications this may have on Malawi."
But al-Bashir who has already had to restrict his movements to a relatively small circle of friendly nations since his indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, has said Malawi has no right to make such a request.
"This will not happen, because the host country does not have the right to dictate who comes. This is according to the AU," says Sudanese Foreign ministry spokesperson El-Obeid Morawah quoted in various international media, including the SADC.
"Since Sudan is a member of the AU, it has a right to attend the summit. The hosting country does not have the right to say who comes," he adds.
This comes as the ICC has an arrest warrant out for al-Bashir for alleged crimes against humanity.
Last year, former president Bingu wa Mutharika's government allowed al-Bashir to attend a regional trade summit, Comesa, citing "brotherly coexistence".
The move, however, strained ties with donors, including the United States and European nations, who had already frozen projects in Malawi due to Mutharika's suspected human rights violations and growing autocracy. Mutharika died last month of a heart attack.
President Banda, who inherited an economy on the brink of collapse from Mutharika, is treading cautiously not to allow al-Bashir because Malawi is likely to face economic sanctions if the Sudanese leader travels to the country.
On Friday, Banda said: "Let the AU decide on his position. [Al-Bashir] should forgive us this time as we are struggling to fix the economy."
The move is the latest break from the past for Banda, who since taking office last month has tried to reform the country, ranked as one of the poorest in the world.
Last year, Britain expressed disappointed that Malawi hosted al-Bashir in defiance of the ICC arrest warrants.
The United Kingdom's Minister for Africa, Henry Bellingham, MP, said the British Government expected Malawi to stand by obligations under the Rome Statutes and as a United Nations member State.
"I am disappointed that Malawi hosted President al-Bashir of Sudan today (14th October) in defiance of International Criminal Court arrest warrants for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
"We support the work of the ICC as an independent judicial body. All countries should cooperate with the ICC investigations in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions, and the particular legal obligations of States Party to the ICC," Bellingham stated.
But the Mutharika's administration laughed off the call to arrest al-Bashir, wondering whether organisations and countries calling for the arrest of Sudanese president do not know his home country.
Amnesty International also pressed Malawi to arrest wanted al-Bashir and surrender him to the ICC.
Mutharika in March last year said African leaders should only ever be tried domestically for their crimes, not by the ICC.
If Malawi fails to arrest president al-Bashir, it would be in violation of its obligations under the Rome Statutes of the ICC, which it ratified on 19 September 2002.
Since the Darfur conflict started in 2003, more than 300 000 people have been killed, thousands raped and millions forcibly displaced.
An arrest warrant for al-Bashir was issued by the ICC in March 2009 on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes. A further arrest warrant with three charges of genocide in Darfur was issued in July 2010.

1895 Proof Morgan Silver Dollar
Posted inSilver Dollars
Posted by By keyd8coins122919 June 6, 2018
The 1895 Proof Morgan Dollar (Buy on eBay) represents an iconic rarity, which has come to be known as the "King of Morgan Dollars." The issue was only produced in proof format and was not struck or released for general circulation. While there is a limited list of other United States coins that share this characteristic, the 1895 Morgan Dollar is the most famous and widely-known. The main reason for this appears to be the overall popularity of the Morgan Dollar series, which is often considered to be the most collected within the full spectrum of American coinage.
Since the Morgan Dollar had been introduced in 1878, the United States Mint had struck an enormous number of silver dollars despite relatively limited use in commerce. This was due to the Bland-Allison Act of 1878 and the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, which required the United States Treasury purchase large amounts of silver each month to be minted into silver dollars. After satisfying the need for the denomination within commerce, the remaining quantities would be placed into storage.
The overproduction and buildup of excess silver dollars continued until the Panic of 1893 resulted in the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. By this time, the Philadelphia Mint vaults held more than 50 million freshly minted silver dollars, with an additional 100 million held at the Treasury building in Washington, D.C. There were also countless more millions held at Branch Mint locations in San Francisco, New Orleans, and Carson City. With so many held in storage and the legal requirements repealed, production of the denomination declined dramatically. This situation led to the creation of the key date 1893-S Morgan Dollar, the extremely low mintages of 1894, and finally the Proof-only issue of 1895.
Coin Mintage
Oddly, Mint records from 1895 indicate that 12,000 Morgan Dollars were struck for circulation at the Philadelphia Mint. This would represent a quantity of twelve bags, each bag containing 1,000 silver dollars. However, not a single circulation strike 1895 Morgan Dollar has ever been located and even well-worn examples are still considered to be Proofs.
While numerous scenarios have been offered to explain the fate of the twelve bags of circulation strike 1895 Morgan Dollars, most experts now agree that none were ever minted. Modern research into the Mint archives has indicated that the number mentioned was most likely an error and that the 12,000 coins were not dated 1895 but carried a different date. Another less popular theory is that the coins were actually minted with the 1895 date, but held in storage and later melted.
The mintage situation for the proof version of the 1895 Morgan Dollar is more straightforward. Mint records indicate that a total of 880 silver dollars were struck for inclusion in Proof sets. These Proof sets had gradually become more popular and included minor coinage of cents and nickels along with the silver coinage, comprising dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars. Gold denominations were also minted in Proof format, but these had to be bought separately and had much lower mintages. With regard to the 1895 silver dollar, it is estimated that approximately half of the original mintage has survived, resulting in an enduring rarity for collectors.
It is worth noting that the mintage of the 1895 Proof Morgan Dollar was not particularly low when compared to the mintages of other Proof Morgan Dollars struck by the Philadelphia Mint. Mintage levels typically fluctuated around 800 pieces for most years, with a few issues having lower mintages and a few slightly above 1,000 pieces. The perceived rarity and high demand for the 1895 Proof issue comes from the lack of availability of the circulation strike. Historically, collectors pursuing a date and mint mark set had to purchase a proof for the issue, driving greater demand and high values which persist to the current day.
A few factors come into play when evaluating the finest known and values for early United States Proof coins. First of all, the major grading services PCGS and NGC differentiate between coins with fully reflective surfaces, cameo contrast, and deep cameo contrast (referred to as "ultra cameo" by NGC). The cameo quality refers to the appearance of frosted raised design elements against reflective background fields. Secondly, population reports for proof coins are often inflated as the same coins are resubmitted multiple times in hopes of either obtaining a higher grade or a possible cameo designation. These factors should be taken into account when determining the rarity and value of an 1895 Proof Morgan Dollar in any grade.
The absolute finest known 1895 Proof Morgan Dollar is a single example graded by NGC as PR-69 with the Ultra Cameo designation. This amazing, high-end coin has not appeared at public auction since it has been certified and its value can only be considered vague guesswork at best. The high-end of the NGC population report also shows 17 examples graded PR-68. Of these, eight have the cameo designation and five have the ultra cameo designation. As mentioned, these figures are likely inflated by resubmissions. One of the pieces graded by NGC as PR-68 Ultra Cameo sold at auction in 2010 for $121,643.
The PCGS population report shows smaller numbers at the high end, with four pieces at the PR-68 level. Of these, two carry the cameo designation and one is graded PR-68+ with the deep cameo designation. None of these coins have changed hands in recent years. An example graded PCGS PR-67+ DCAM, which also received a CAC verification sticker, sold at auction in 2020 for an amazing $269,500 setting a new record price for the issue.
A lower-end "uncirculated" 1895 Proof Morgan Dollar (PR-60 to PR-62) tends to sell for at least $40,000. Gems are usually sold for at least $60,000 and often much more, depending on eye-appeal and cameo contrast. At minimum, a well circulated or damaged proof tends to sell for prices from $15,000 to $20,000. As such, it is needless to say that the acquisition of any 1895 Proof Morgan dollar, regardless of grade, is a true prize and often the highlight an advanced collection.

Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Limited (formerly Bharati Shipyard Limited) is one of the largest shipbuilding companies in India.

History
Bharati Shipyard Limited (BSL) was founded in 1973 in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra by Prakash C. Kapoor and Vijay Kumar, graduates of the Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture program at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, as well as colleagues at Mazagon Dock Limited. The company went public in December 2004, with listings on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.

In 2005, BSL subsequently acquired a 51% stake in privately held Pinky Shipyard Private Limited based in Goa. In 2009, BSL won majority control of Great Offshore Limited in a bidding war with ABG Shipyard Limited. In November 2010, BSL acquired a majority stake in South India based Tebma Shipyards for INR 757.5 Million.

BSL bought the entire equipment and infrastructure of the iconic British shipyard, Swan Hunter, in 2007, after it declared bankruptcy.

In 2015, the shipyard group found itself heavily indebted and in severe financial difficulties.  In developing a restructuring plan, the Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company acquired 70 per cent of the debt from the lending banks and, as an indication of a desire to concentrate on defence business, the company's name was changed in 2015 to Bharati Defence and Infrastructure Limited. In January 2019 the National Company Law Tribunal declared the restructuring proposals from Edelweiss to be unacceptable and ordered the company's liquidation.

Facilities
Bharati Shipyard is headquartered in Mumbai. It operates shipbuilding facilities in Ratnagiri, Dabhol, Mangalore and Kolkata. It has structural quality assurance facilities at Ghodbunder Road in Thane district. Its subsidiary, Pinky Shipyard, has shipbuilding facilities in Goa. Its subsidiary, Tebma Shipyard, has shipbuilding facilities in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

BSL's Dabhol yard is one of the largest in India, spread over 300 acres. In 2007, BSL bought the entire equipment and infrastructure, of bankrupt British shipyard Swan Hunter. The infrastructure, including the iconic cranes and the floating dock, was dismantled, transported to India, and installed at BSL's Dabhol yard.

Products
Bharati Shipyard builds jackup rigs, platform supply vessels, tractor and ASD tugs, dredgers, deep sea fishing vessels, bulk carriers, cargo and container ships, tankers and roll-on/roll-off vessels.

In March 2009, it was awarded a  contract to build 15 high-speed interceptors for the Indian Coast Guard.

Search for content not available on Google Search using these search engines
Google Search is the top search engine tool available today, and we expect this to continue as-is for many more years to come. However, if you have to search for something specific, then chances are, another search engine might be the best bet yet.
Alternative Search Engines to find content not available on Google
So, if there is something you're looking for but having problems finding it, then how about using some of the Google search engine alternatives like Bing, DuckDuckGo and these others that we have on this list. We believe they will improve how you search when using the web, so take a look at what is on offer below.
Search in two languages with 2Lingual
Million Short shows less seen results
Sourceful to find public documents
Help charities by using Hopely
Let us look at this list in more detail.
1] Search in two languages with 2Lingual
While Google Search and other competitors support multiple languages, it is not possible to search in two languages at the same time. If that is something you want to do, then we suggest using 2Lingual because it does just that.
What's interesting here about 2Lingual is the fact that the base search technology is Google Search, so you won't be missing out on quality but gaining something the standalone Google tool does not offer.
Users can choose from a wide range of languages and have the search results side-by-side. From our short experience with this tool, we can say for certain that it works quite well, so we have no problems recommending it.
Read: Top Private Search Engines you should use if Privacy matters to you.
2] Million Short shows less seen results
In many cases when you search for something on Google Search, the first page is filled with results from top websites. And it never really changes if you think about it, so what are the options? Well, MillionShort is a good little tool to take advantage of.
The creators behind Million Short brought this tool to life in a bid for people to search the web while avoiding top sites. Websites that have always been overlooked should gain some new eyes, but it all depends on how many internet users choose to search with Million Short.
Whenever you attempt to make a search, the tool will ask you to either eliminate the top 100, 1000, 10,000, 100K, or one million websites from the search results. Doing this would then serve results not usually seen when using one of the big search engine services.
Read: Best Meta Search Engines on the Internet.
3] Sourceful to find public documents
OK, so when we say public documents, we are primarily talking about Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. For those who were not aware, the folks at Google have made it possible for users to make any document public, which means, they will be visible on the internet for all to see.
To use Sourceful efficiently, you can simply click within the search box and type your query, and from there, hit the Enter key on the keyboard. If you want to be more specific, click on the icons beside the search box and select the tool you prefer.
If that is not enough, the ability is there to add new documents to the service. Hit the button that says New, then copy and paste the Google URL of the document, then add a description and tags. Finally, click on Add new document and that's it.
Read: Best People Search Engines to look for people.
4] Help charities by using Hopely
If you want to aid charities around the world, then maybe you need to use Hopely.org, a search engine that was designed with helping others as the primary purpose. You see, when folks search for something, Hopely makes some cash, but half of that profit goes to various organizations.
Users of this service can select which charity to support from the main page. So far, only three charitable organizations are available, and they are Bread for the World, Doctors Without Borders, and World Wide Fund.
By default, all causes are selected, so choose one if you do not want to support all three at the same time.
5] WolframAlpha
We like this search engine because it is designed to "compute expert-level answers using Wolfram's breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology." There are four categories here, and they are: Mathematics, Science & Technology, Society & Culture, and Everyday Life.
Now, from within these main categories, there are several sub-categories to make it easier for users to find specific queries.
Google and Bing are among the most-used search engines, but if you are looking for off-beat, you may try the above. Let us know what you think of them.

Congressmember Karen Bass understands that we are in the midst of a climate crisis. As wildfires rage throughout the state and throughout countries all around the world, it is obvious now more than ever that the climate crisis is both urgent and existential. Protecting the environment is a critical part of protecting the health of all Americans. Clean air and water and the preservation of natural resources are issues of utmost concern to protect both Americans today and of future generations. Combating climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing both our nation and the entire international community.
In order to address these issues, Congressmember Bass is committed to investing in new technology and renewable resources that meet America's increasing energy needs and protect both the environment and national security. She believes that investing in cleaner, more cost-effective energy will reduce the effects of global warming, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and create clean energy jobs here in America.
Unfortunately, due to the times we now face in this country, it is also worth noting that Congressmember Bass believes in facts and science.

Bass and members of the CBC executive leadership team met with President Trump in March 2017, the caucus answered his question in the form a 130-page policy document titled, "We Have A Lot to Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century." President Trump never responded to the document.

December 4, 2017 Press Release
"This attack on the environment must also be combatted as yet another instance of dog-whistle politics, this time a targeted and calculated attack against Native Americans in Utah," said Rep. Bass.

Q: How to add javascript to a page from another page I have two classes: ItemPanel.java and Declaration.java. Each time an item panel is created I want javascript to append to the head of Declaration.html not ItemPanel.html.
On my ItemPanel.java, should I have something like this:
add(new AbstractBehavior() {
   @Override public void renderHead(IHeaderResponse response) {
        super.renderHead(response);
        String js = "alert(\"hello\");"
        response.renderOnDomReadyJavascript(js, Declaration.java);
    }
});

So my question is: if I have lots of classes and html pages, and I add a javascript on a page where there is no header, how does wicket treat this? Does it find the header from other related classes? I'm not sure, I have tried it and it doesn't seem to append when I instantiate an object that doesn't have a corresponding html page with a head tag.

A: At the beginning your question is a bit confusing because ibe the title you ask to add JS from one page to another but in your question it seems that ItemPanel is a Panel and Declaration is a Page.
So if it is like this and you render some JavaScript in a Panel like you've shown it will be rendered in the  section of your Declaration page. Even if your Page in html will have no   section Wicket will generate an empty   section. So if you render some JavaScript in a Panel it will be rendered in the   section of the containing Page.

Милосав Стиковић (Точа, код Пријепоља, 23. мај 1914 — близина Тјентишта, јун 1943), учесник Народноослободилачке борбе и народни херој Југославије.

Биографија
Рођен је 23. маја 1914. године у селу Тоци, код Пријепоља. Завршио је основну школу, а потом и гимназију. Као студент на Београдском универзитету, прикључио се револуционарном студентском покрету. Због своје активности, био је под присмотром београдске полиције, која га је често прогањала и неколико пута затварала.

Године 1941, Стиковић је био један од организатора устанка у Санџаку. Исте године примљен је за члана Комунистичке партије Југославије. Постао је командир прве партизанске чете у милешевском срезу.

Јачањем партизанских снага, непријатељ је почео жешће да напада партизане, тако да су били принуђени да напуштају Србију и прелазе у Босну. На окупираној територији Санџака остале су мање партизанске јединице. С њима је остао и Стиковић, као позадински партијско-политички радник. Организовао је и окупљао симпатизере око Народноослободилачког покрета.

Окупатори и домаћи сарадници су му, у знак одмазде, побили готово целу породицу. У борби су му погинула и два брата.

Са својом јединицом учествовао је у борбама током Пете непријатељске офанзиве 1943. године. При повратку са Сутјеске, сукобио се са четницима. Борио се док је имао муниције, а након тога је последњим метком себи одузео живот како не би жив пао непријатељу у руке.

Указом председника Федеративне Народне Републике Југославије Јосипа Броза Тита, 27. новембра 1953. године, проглашен је за народног хероја.

Основна школа у Пријепољу носи његово име.

White Sox free agent focus: Moving things around to land Anthony Rendon
By Dan Santaromita December 04, 2019 8:58 AM
Latest White Sox Talk
Sox believe in 'Magic'
Win-now Sox still boast some of baseball's best prospects
Could sign-stealing scandal lead to new job for Ozzie?
Baseball free agency is heating up as the weather gets colder. This week we are breaking down 10 potential free-agent targets for the White Sox ahead of the Winter Meetings.
Anthony Rendon, 3B, Nationals
2019 salary: $18,800,000
2019 stats: .319 BA, .412 OBP, .598 SLG, 1.010 OPS, 34 HR, 126 RBI, 117 R, 5/6 SB
What Rendon would bring to the White Sox
Rendon was in Bryce Harper's shadow for much of his career, but over the last few years you can make the argument that he's surpassed Harper. Rendon showed some promise in his first four seasons in the majors, but really took a step forward in the last three seasons.
The third baseman has hit .310/.397/.556 over the past three seasons, including a 1.010 OPS this past season.
Rendon's arrival would likely send Yoan Moncada back to second base and could make Nick Madrigal an expendable trade chip for the White Sox. He could also give the White Sox one of the most feared lineups in baseball if Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert meet their potential.
What it would take to get him
Rendon isn't as young as Harper and Manny Machado were when they hit free agency, but he still could get more money per year than they did. Nolan Arenado's eight-year, $260 million deal is probably the best comparison you'll find considering they play the same position and have similar track records. Rendon is going to be among the highest-paid players in baseball.
Why it's unlikely for the White Sox
For starters, Rendon is likely out of range financially for the White Sox. He will command one of the most expensive deals in baseball, which isn't the kind of deal the White Sox have inked before.
On top of that, the infield of the future for the White Sox appears to be locked down. Jose Abreu's contract extension secured his future with the team at first. Nick Madrigal's arrival at second is imminent. At shortstop, Tim Anderson just won a batting title. Yoan Moncada moved to third in 2019 and had the best season of any White Sox hitter.
Rendon is too good to not consider adding if you have a chance, but the White Sox are likely to focus their efforts elsewhere where upgrades are more pressing like outfield and starting pitching.
Latest rumors
Some high-ranking executives believe that the first big-dollar free agent who comes off the board will be Anthony Rendon, who has already met with teams. Rangers, Dodgers, Nationals, maybe others in play.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) December 3, 2019
Dodgers are looking at Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg and Anthony Rendon. But while they can afford to go big, word is they have set valuations for each star and intend to remain disciplined.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 25, 2019
Texas checked in on Texas product Anthony Rendon. Also in on Donaldson. And the big pitchers.

Believe in 'Magic': For White Sox, a matter of when, not if, Nick Madrigal starts raking in the majors
By Vinnie Duber January 17, 2020 12:55 PM
When will Nick Madrigal reach the majors?
That, now that Luis Robert's path to an Opening Day roster spot has been cleared by a big-money contract extension, is the most pressing of the prospect-related queries facing the 2020 White Sox, a team that, it should be noted, will be turning its focus away from the minors and toward playing big league baseball in October for the first time in more than a decade.
Not unlike Robert, Madrigal shredded minor league pitching in 2019, playing at three levels and showing just how successful his elite bat-to-ball skills can make him as an offensive producer. He stepped to the plate 532 times and struck out only 16 times.
There's a reason even Rick Renteria is already calling the 22-year-old "Magic."
The general feeling seems to be that Madrigal will start the season at Triple-A Charlotte, though with the waiting game apparently over on the South Side and the intent to win as many games as possible, perhaps a strong showing at spring training will see Madrigal starting at second base in the March 26 opener.
That's a question better answered after the White Sox have been in Glendale for a few weeks.
But Madrigal's goal is clear.
"I definitely want to be in Chicago as soon as I can," Madrigal said earlier this week at the team's hitters' camp out in the desert. "I know they have a plan for me one way or another, but I think that's the ultimate goal: being in Chicago and winning with that team.
"I know this offseason there's been a lot of moves, and I'm excited to be a part of that, hopefully, in the near future. The ultimate goal is winning. There's nothing else at this point."
Madrigal might not have blown the doors off the minors like Robert, who finished with a 30-30 season, but he wasn't fazed by climbing through the system. Madrigal put up good-not-great numbers in nearly 50 games at Class A Winston-Salem but exploded for a .341 batting average and a .400 on-base percentage in 42 games at Double-A Birmingham before batting .331 and reaching base at a .398 clip in 29 games at Charlotte.
That he didn't even reach 30 games in a Knights uniform could signal that the White Sox might prefer a little more seasoning, but he didn't see any problems facing the pitching at Triple-A.
"Honestly, it wasn't too different at all. There was nothing I hadn't seen before," he said. "There were some older guys in the league, more consistent arms. I thought it wasn't anything too different."
Madrigal's earning high praise all over the place, rated among the best prospects in the game. He's earned rave reviews for his ability on both sides of the ball, picked by team executives (in an MLB Pipeline poll) as having one of the best hit tools and gloves of any player in the minor leagues.
There still might be some skepticism, or perhaps mere curiosity, as to how Madrigal's skill set will translate to the major leagues. Players like him, who focus on making contact and putting the ball in play, are becoming rarer in today's game, which sees a focus on power and launch angle and an acceptance of strikeouts. His manager, one of "Magic's" biggest fans, isn't too concerned about Madrigal finding success once he finally makes the jump to the bigs.
"Watching him swing the bat yesterday, I'm amazed at his bat-to-ball skills. It's incredible," Renteria said Wednesday from Arizona. "He's actually filling out a little bit more. All these guys, we've seen them for the last four years, they're growing up. And even though Magic just joined us last year, you can see a difference in him, physically speaking.
"I think his skill set, in terms of his bat-to-ball skills, as he continues to develop, you may see a ball leave the ballpark here and there. But the fact he can put the bat on the ball and manage the barrel as well as he does, he'll be able to find holes. Continuing to improve upon and cleaning his swing path, staying through the ball a little bit more and still being able to use all parts of the field, his skill set will play. He'll find a way to get on base at a high rate through probably contact and eye recognition, pitch recognition."
Rick Hahn has said that he expects Madrigal to be the White Sox second baseman for the bulk of the 2020 campaign, so even if he doesn't make the 26-man roster out of spring training, keep your eyes peeled for a Madrigal sighting not too deep into the baseball calendar.
This is a matter of when, not if. So the walk-up music folks at Guaranteed Rate Field better start getting ready. Will it be "Magic Man" by Heart? Or "Strange Magic" by Electric Light Orchestra? "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful is, of course, also acceptable.

Focus shifting to major league White Sox, but they still have some of baseball's best prospects
By Vinnie Duber January 17, 2020 10:20 AM
White Sox fans suddenly have reason to stop focusing on the minor leagues.
Rick Hahn's front office has done an incredible amount of work this winter adding impact veterans to the team's young core, and because of it, there are realistic playoff expectations on the South Side. The summer figures to be spent focusing on what Yasmani Grandal, Dallas Keuchel, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Abreu, Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, Tim Anderson, Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease are doing at the major league level rather than what the potential stars of the future are doing in the minors.
In other words, the future is here.
But it's worth noting that the White Sox still have some of the best prospects in the game. It's true that a few of the biggest names among that group won't be prospects for much longer. Luis Robert just got a high-priced contract extension that clears the way for him to be in the lineup on Opening Day. While Michael Kopech will be limited in some fashion as the White Sox manage his workload in his return from Tommy John surgery, it's hardly out of the question that he could be a part of the 26-man group that leaves Glendale at the end of March. And Nick Madrigal, Hahn has said, figures to be the White Sox second baseman for the bulk of the 2020 campaign after he reached the doorstep of the majors last year.
The point is, however, that the White Sox core is not done growing. Moncada, Giolito, Anderson and Jimenez all broke out in big ways in 2019, and the veterans added to that group could push the team into contention mode as soon as this season. But Robert, Kopech, Madrigal and Andrew Vaughn are set to join that core, too, expanding it to one the White Sox hope will power championship contenders for years to come.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden ranked Robert as his No. 1 prospect in baseball, picking the 22-year-old center fielder to win the AL Rookie of the Year Award. And that's no stretch after the way Robert lit the minor leagues on fire in 2019. Playing at three different levels, he slashed .328/.376/.624 with 32 home runs, 92 RBIs, 31 doubles, 108 runs scored and 36 stolen bases. He's a true five-tool threat who receives rave reviews that peg him as potentially the best of all the White Sox young talent. MLB Pipeline is in the middle of rolling out their rankings ahead of the 2020 season, and we'll learn where Robert ranks on the site's updated list next weekend during SoxFest. But most recently, Robert was the site's No. 3 prospect in the game.
Kopech still has prospect status despite the fact that he made his big league debut in August 2018. That Tommy John surgery limited his major league experience to this point to just four games, wiping out his 2019 season. Whether he'll be the same elite pitcher that was promised prior to his surgery is one of several important questions facing the 2020 White Sox, but it doesn't seem to be deterring the rankers. Bowden has Kopech as the No. 11 prospect in baseball, and MLB Pipeline ranked him as the No. 4 right-handed pitching prospect in the game. Kopech is said to still be capable of unleashing the blazing fastball that made him such a tantalizing prospect in the first place. The big question now is how often he'll be able to use it, with the White Sox planning to limit him in some capacity. We'll have to wait until spring to find out exactly what those limitations look like.
Madrigal might not spend a long time at Triple-A Charlotte, expected to be manning second base for the big league White Sox for the majority of the 2020 season. But like they did with Moncada, Jimenez and Robert before him, the White Sox have no plans to rush Madrigal to the majors. Bowden has him ranked as the No. 14 prospect in the game, and we'll find out soon where MLB Pipeline has him among second basemen. We already know they think the world of his glove — which was touted as Gold Glove caliber by the White Sox the night they drafted him in 2018 — naming him the second baseman on their all-defense team (he won a minor league Gold Glove for his work last season, too). MLB Pipeline also polled general managers, scouting directors and executives across all 30 teams, and Madrigal's name popped up often, voted to possess the third best hit tool, the third best glove and the highest baseball IQ among all of the game's prospects. The guy struck out just 16 times in 532 trips to the plate last season, so he's obviously doing something right.
Vaughn is receiving similarly rave reviews this winter. Bowden ranked him as the game's No. 35 prospect, and MLB Pipeline might end up putting the White Sox most recent first-round pick even higher, naming him the top first-base prospect in baseball. A slugger whose bat earned high praise when he came out of Cal last summer, Vaughn might not reach the South Side in 2020 like the rest of the guys discussed here. But he does figure to have a similar impact when he finally does. He played just 52 games between Class A Kannapolis and Class A Winston-Salem after joining the organization, hitting a combined five homers at those stops. He's still swinging the bat that launched 50 homers and drove in 163 runs over three seasons in college. That aforementioned MLB Pipeline executive poll? In it, Vaughn was picked as having the second best hit tool in the game. The White Sox just gave Abreu a three-year contract extension that will keep him on the South Side through at least the 2022 campaign, but the 37-year-old Encarnacion could be here as briefly as one year (his contract has an option for 2021), potentially opening up a spot for Vaughn should everything go right in the minors.
And this is without even mentioning guys like Dane Dunning, Jimmy Lambert and Jonathan Stiever, who could all wind up playing important roles on the pitching staff.
So while there is plenty of reason for your minor league interest to wane — because meaningful baseball is expected to be happening at the major league level in 2020 — know that the White Sox farm system (at least the tippy top of it) is still worth salivating over. These guys should be on the South Side soon, only adding fuel to the fire Hahn has built this winter.

New and Additional? Fast-start finance commitments of the Copenhagen Accord
The updated and expanded version of our discussion-paper on fast-start finance commitments provides an assessment of fast start pledges looking at a broad range of definitions of "new and additional" funding.
Date03 December 2010
The analysis shows that each definition would allow for a different interpretation of the overall volume of funding committed so far. By applying lessons-leant from the 2001 Bonn Agreement – a precedent for a political commitment – the paper concludes that a common reporting format and agreement about key criteria and channels used would benefit the fast-start finance initiative and help tap its full potential to rebuild trust between countries. The range of definitions reviewed could provide a basis for discussion to find a middle ground that addresses developing countries concern that funding not be diverted from existing aid projects and acknowledges countries that undertook efforts on an early basis and/or provide funding generated from new and innovative public sources of finance.


A local council project using millions of litres of treated stormwater runoff to keep its parks green and wetlands thriving has scooped a 2016 Good Design Award.
The stormwater is captured, stored and then treated to deliver a new sustainable water supply to the wetlands and Sydney Park. There is also potential for other water users across the local area to access the clean water, including industry.
The council has even managed to turn the project into a waterscape feature. Visitors are wowed by the elevated terracotta pipes that funnel the cleansed water into Sydney Park's main pond.
The project won the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences category in the Good Design Awards – a prize given to products that have the potential to make a significant improvement to the quality of health, wellbeing or the environment.
"It not only improves overall water quality and habitat, it also educates residents and visitors on the importance of water management by allowing park visitors to connect to the concept of water capture and cleansing in a beautiful setting," Ms Moore said.
Director of Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Dolla Merrillees, called the Sydney Park water re-use development a ground breaking project.
"We have selected a project which highlights important contemporary issues such as sustainability and social innovation, and addresses the increasingly critical issue of our natural resources," Ms Merrillees said.
The project was a collaboration between Sydney firms Turf Design Studio, Environmental Partnership, Alluvium, Dragonfly and Turpin+Crawford Studio, who completed the two year project in October 2015.
The project plans will be displayed in the Success and Innovation gallery at the Museum of Applied Arts and Science at Ultimo.

Google yesterday announced Android Studio 3.1 is now stable and available, featuring enhanced Kotlin support, smaller builds, recent IntelliJ platform updates and more.
Since becoming a first-class programming language option along with Java and C++ last May, Kotlin has enjoyed popularity among developers and Android's core dev team.
In a video, Android Developer Advocate Wojtek Kaliciński announced further Kotlin functionality.
"On the Kotlin front, Android studio 3.1 now bundles the latest plugin and supports running lint checks for Kotlin code on the command line," Kaliciński said. "We plan to continue our work to make sure we're providing first-class support for Kotlin in our developer tools."
Even more new Kotlin functionality comes with updates to Android Studio's underlying IntelliJ platform, specifically version 2017.3.3. That new functionality includes new Kotlin language intentions and built-in support for SVG image previews.
Jamal Eason, Android product manager, also highlighted smaller builds resulting from the switch from a legacy DX compiler to the new D8 dexer, used to convert Java bytecode to dex (Dalvik executable) code.
"D8 is now the default dex compiler in Android Studio 3.1," Eason said. "Replacing the legacy DX compiler, D8 dexing is an under the hood APK compilation step that makes your app size smaller, enables accurate step debugging, and many times leads to faster builds."
C++ coders also received some good news with the new release, which features a C++ performance profiler to help troubleshoot performance bottlenecks in source code.
"We received a lot of feature requests for the Android profilers that were released in the last version of studio," Kaliciński said. "I'm happy to say that based on your feedback, we've added native CPU profiling for C++ code and the network profiler can now show request data and has a threads timeline.
"And to make it easier to find the information you need, the CPU and memory profilers now offer filtering by class or method name."
Android Studio 3.1 can be downloaded here, and full details about all of the above and more can be found in the release notes.
