A 1-0 home defeat to Sun Sports combined with results elsewhere left Levy Green still possibly requiring further points to ensure their SSML Premier Division survival.
Harefield's win kept their hopes of passing Leverstock's points total alive, and while it would take an unlikely set of results for the four sides below Levy to all pass 35 points, some more points from their remaining two games would be welcome.
The game against Sun was an evenly-contested affair. Leverstock almost went in front in the 10th minute as a long throw from Curtis Donaldson was punched clear by keeper Ross Hampton, but only to the edge of the box where Dan Bourne connected with a shot that hit the post.
Four minutes later at the other end, Sun took the lead from Kerran Lataille's long-range effort, which Liam Jahn thought was going wide but instead nestled in the bottom corner of the net.
There were few other chances in the first half, but on 39 minutes Jahn pulled off a good save to push away Scott Bonner's header.
Three minutes into the second half, former Green player Louis Bircham was through on goal, but Jahn pulled off another good save to keep out Bircham's shot.
For the next 30 minutes, though, it was all Leverstock as they pushed forward in search of an equaliser.
In the 50th minute a ball forward was flicked on by Lewis Cruwys to Ryan Laville, who tried to lob Hampton but it went just over the bar.
On 57 minutes Cruwys got on the end of a cross from Donaldson, but his header went just wide.
Ten minutes later a free-kick from Donaldson bounced through to the far post where Ashley Addison's header hit the post.
On 78 minutes another Donaldson free-kick caused chaos in the Sun box as they failed to clear the ball, but Tommy Walsh's shot from the edge of the box went just wide.
Three minutes into stoppage time there was a glimmer of hope as Leverstock won a free-kick in a dangerous position. It was within Donaldson's range, but this time he couldn't keep his shot under the bar, and that proved to be the Green side's last chance of salvaging a point.
Leverstock have two games left, at home to Hadley on Saturday, and at home to Cockfosters next Tuesday.
Levy: 1. Liam Jahn, 2. Dan Bourne, 3. Dan Hartley, 4. Tommy Walsh, 5. Joe Horwood, 6. Jack Copson, 7. Dan Griggs (16. Ross Adams 59 mins), 8. Curtis Donaldson, 9. Lewis Cruwys (14.

Delta's Dark Den of Destruction: Tama the Cat is a Japanese Stationmaster!
TOKYO (AP) — A money-losing Japanese train company has found the purr-fect pet mascot to draw crowds and bring back business — tabby Tama.
All the 9-year-old female cat does is sit by the entrance of Kishi Station in western Japan, wearing a black uniform cap and posing for photos for the tourists who are now flocking in droves from across the nation.
Tama has been doing such a good job of raising revenue for the troubled Kishikawa train line that she was recently promoted to "super-station-master."
"She never complains, even though passengers touch her all over the place. She is an amazing cat. She has patience and charisma," Wakayama Electric Railway Co. spokeswoman Yoshiko Yamaki told The Associated Press Monday. "She is the perfect station master."
Appointing a cat to turn around fortunes makes cultural sense in Japan, where cats are considered good luck and are believed to bring in business.
Tama even has a Wikipedia article on herself!

Apple Demo Day
More interested in the iPhone Plus than the Apple Watch. Yes, they have solved some interface challenges by making a digital "winder". But the battery life is something that limits its usefulness as a health device. Can't be used to monitor sleep if it is going to have enough juice during the day.
Perhaps SWatch needs to be worried. But not the analogue watch makers like IWC.

Spotify Discovers Video could be the clue to paying for great audio
30 million of the 40 million registered users of the Spotify streaming music service never pay a cent. You could argue that they pay with their attention. Now Spotify is asking those free users to watch video ads of either 15 or 30 seconds. In return they get 30 minutes of uninterrupted music. I think this is better than the other idea which is old interruption advertising dressed up to look like something new.
Sounds like a deal. Especially if the ads are really well done. A good example is Wetransfer, a Dutch site that makes it easy to transfer large files via the web, especially the attachments too big to attach to an email. While you wait there is a carousel of large one page ads, some of which are beautiful.
But Spotify could do so much more with video enabled ads. It is something radio has tried to do, but it never had the right sized screens.
And I'm worried that digital radio technology is not getting embedded into smart phones. Even NFC has got into the new iPhone to be launched tomorrow, so the rumours say.

MN.04.04.1985 Brannigan and Edwards
Great to hear the voices of John Brannigan, a Scottish radio propagation specialist, who was the perfect interviewee. He really knew his field and could explain things in non-technical language. The other guest in this programme is BBC World Service Chief Engineer Keith Edwards. He was one of the first top managers to turn up at shortwave listener gathering and explain what they were trying to do at the transmitting end. He also anticipated home satellite radio and TV reception several years before it took off in hobby circles. Remember this is well before the launch of Sky Satellite Television.
MN.04.07.1985. Expo85 and Radio Tampa
One of a series of Media Network programmes that originated from the 1985 Expo in Tsuba, just North of Tokyo. I used the visit to the expo to visit Akihabara, called Electric Town, even then. The Sony ICF2001D has just gone on sale, and I remember picking one up for considerably less than in Europe. Just had to make do with a Japanese only instruction booklet. We also look at the domestic shortwave radio station Radio Tampa. This was one of the first Media Network safaris, exploring media in other countries. Remember it is nearly 30 years old!
MN.07.02.1985. Radio Jackie London
Radio Netherlands won't be getting access to 747 kHz. Things are going to plan for PA6FLD ham radio station operating from the new Flevoland transmitter site. I also did a marathon edition of SW Feedback live from the transmitter site.
Radio Jackie gets raided again in South West London. Bob Tomalski, later a contributor to Media Network, looks at whether they were a community station or just in it for the money. In the Netherlands, Broadcast minister Elco Brinkman says that pirate radio stations will not get access to extended FM bands. Roger Tidy in London has started a new monitoring magazine.
BBC World Service Peter Horrocks resigns
Peter Horrocks, Director of the BBC World Service Group, today announced that he will be leaving the BBC in the new year.
Peter Horrocks has been Director of the World Service since 2009 and has worked at the BBC for 33 years.
Under Peter's leadership weekly audiences for the BBC's global news services - BBC World Service, BBC World News and BBC.com – have reached a record 265m.
Peter has led the World Service through some of its most challenging times, responding to funding cuts by modernising the World Service for the digital age.
He successfully oversaw one of the biggest changes in the history of the World Service as it moved from Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) funding into the licence fee, leaving its historic headquarters of Bush House for the BBC's New Broadcasting House.
One of the best interviews with Peter was on a TV station in Ghana earlier this year.

Breaking News: Scott Weiland Has Passed Away
News reports are coming through saying that Scott Weiland, current frontman for The Wildabouts, and former lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, was found dead on the Wildabouts' tour bus. He was 48. This occurrence ends one of the more tragic stories that developed out of the rock resurgence of the 1990s.
However one might feel about Scott Weiland, it would be difficult to deny he was part of the top tier of '90s rock vocalists, a rarefied group we know by name inside and outside the confines of his organizations. Known for many years informally as just "Weiland" he had the cache of Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, and sadly of Layne Staley, with which he will most likely be paired in terms of their demise. There is no cause-of-death issued yet, but Weiland made it far too easy to jump to conclusions.
Stone Temple Pilots' rise came based, in the minds of many, through mistaken identity. The band's debut Core found Weiland frequently adopting the "cottonmouth" affectation that crept into the alt-rock sound, and more than a few at the time thought this might actually be Pearl Jam in disguise. In retrospect, the thought of it is laughable as modern listeners will not hear anything of Vedder in Weiland. By STP's second record, the so-called "Purple", most of these vocal quirks had shaken out. What was left was one of rock's better singers, able to belt and shout, and also croon like a Laurel Canyon balladeer.
Weiland was also obnoxious. It must be said that he lived the rock and roll life to the full, exemplifying it, being victimized by it, and making victims within it along the way. Ask the scores of STP fans that frequently got burned when they bought show tickets and were either treated to a wildly incoherent presentation (such as was seen in a much-publicized performance earlier this year from Weiland and the Wildabouts), or found the show wouldn't go on at all. Weiland was in and out of STP a few times, and the substance abuse and erratic behavior was cited for making the relationship so unworkable.
While I don't believe this was ever directly stated, those same negative traits must have also doomed the relationship between him and his second band, the supergroup Velvet Revolver. After Weiland's departure from VR, group members Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and Slash, all formerly of iterations of Guns 'N' Roses, stated that VR would go on. A vocalist would be found and "the enterprise was definitely not over." Nothing ever came of that.
And that's probably the great tragedy of the career of Scott Weiland. He was that good. He was so difficult to replace. By the time of STP's third record, Tiny Music: Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop, the band was no longer an acolyte of classic rock, but was strong enough to stand within it. Two other records, No. 4 and Shangri-La-Dee-Da notched hits, including the standout "Sour Girl". In his absence from STP, long-suffering members Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz soldiered on with other singers as Talk Show, Army of Anyone, and Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington. None of these formations stuck (and Bennington formally departed STP just this year, fueling again the idea of yet another Weiland reformation despite previous acrimony and lawsuits). It was never the fault of the core group who continued to do commendable work. The fault was that they had a destructive superstar as a vocalist.
So it ends pretty much as everyone expected it to. There is a terrible practice in the media where some obituaries are pre-written: the celebrities that earn this dubious distinction having given the writers enough evidence over time to suggest that the conclusion was much more "when soon" than "if many years from now." Weiland's output with STP, aside from 2010's eponymous-titled reunion which is a lousy cap to a good run, stands tall. That it should all fade out on a tour bus just a hair outside the glare of years of public decline is the self-fulfilling prophecy. It seems sad and unnecessary, but completely in keeping with how Weiland comported himself as rock star.

Prior to 2008, Vision Africa conducted 3-4 or more medical missions each year. From 2009-2011, the development of Vision Africa Radio took the lion's share of our resources and no medical missions were undertaken. In 2012, Vision Africa returned to its roots and began conducting medical missions again. Three medical missions were conducted in 2012 and three again in 2013 (one of which was in partnership with Shell Oil Company) and three again in 2014. Christian Outreach, Revivals and Crusades are usually conducted in conjunction with each Medical Mission (although free medical care is for all). The needs in this area are so great. At the start of 2015, we purchased and put into service our first mobile medical vehicle which will enable us to conduct mobile medical clinics this year in more rural areas. Your contributions are needed to make this a reality. Efforts continue to combat malaria, AIDs/HIV and polio through partnerships with organizations such as Shell Oil Company and our sister organization, the Nigerian Inter-Faith Action Association (NIFAA) of which Bishop Sunday is the Executive Director. Vision Africa Radio, Love 104.1 FM, often serves as the launching pad for medical outreach initiatives, through health education programing on the radio and promotion and announcements of specific medical missions, NIFAA activities and other similar activities.

Humanities: A Death Story
December 27, 2011	Archive 2011-12, No. 11, Vol. 57 (2011) Leave a comment 271 Views
Philosophy is dead, declared Stephen Hawking in his new book last year. In Mr Hawking's view, philosophers have been mulling over the same thoughts for centuries, failing to catch up with science.
He is not alone in this stand. The rivalry between the two disciplines is long known, and if we believe novelist C.P. Snow's declaration at Cambridge in 1959, then we might think that science and humanities are at completely opposite poles.
Unless we consider History and Philosophy of Science, an interdisciplinary subject as old as philosophy that does precisely this: combine humanities and science.
Perhaps the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Dean (FASS), James Donald, had Hawkins and Snow in mind when he decided to cut History and Philosophy of Science from majoring and minoring options two weeks ago.
Perhaps, too, knowing that his staff and students would understand that learning is not a means to an end, he thought it best not to consult them about the cuts.
What do we lose if we lose the humanities of science?
Associate Professor Peter Slezak says HPS explores the great ideas that have existed in the history of Western civilisation.
"HPS provides you analytical thought, insights about the history of ideas, the nature of scientific knowledge and its development, and we are abandoning all these things. As soon as you have to start explaining to people why this is important you know you have lost the battle."
Professor Slezak ran an public trial of Galileo, which was broadcast as an ABC 1 Compass special last year, called The Trials of Galileo. This program, which turned out to be a success, was an attempt to keep the subject alive.
From a practical vantage point, history and philosophy are important for anybody embarking on a career in science, says New Scientist journalist, Wendy Zukerman.
"I think philosophy is relevant to so many other disciplines, even to the way scientific research is funded. History of Philosophy sets a foundation for how we look at science and categorise it, from biology to chemistry to physics. The more we learn, the more we realise they are integrated."
A humanities approach to science, she adds, also helps scientists communicate research.
Yet the School of History and Philosophy is not the only one experiencing cuts. The notion that humanities are no longer relevant or conducive to job-finding is neither new, nor exclusive to UNSW.
The idea that universities are somehow supposed to churn out profitable products has become a worldwide phenomenon, if it can be called as such.
Former Associate Professor at Yale University, William Deresiewicz, recently wrote in The Nation: "Knowledge, as we're constantly told, is a nation's most important resource, and the great majority of knowledge is created in the academy—now more than ever…It isn't just the sciences that matter; it is also the social sciences and the humanities."
And The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a response to the famous column by Thomas H. Benton, titled 'Graduate School in the Humanities: Just don't do it'.
At UNSW, the School of Languages and Linguistics suffered especially, with the loss of Russian studies in 2006.
An online petition from the University of Sydney called 'Save the Russian Department at UNSW' argued "that Russian language and culture have a significant place in contemporary Australian society…we thus disagree with the possible COMPLETE closure of the Russian Department."
"We also disagree with the decision NOT to officially inform students, including those who have already chosen Russian Studies as a Major in an Arts Degree."
But so it goes. Instead the School of Languages now runs a much more profitable, much more vocational option of Russian – English translation.
Professor Slezak says it is part of a top-down managerial climate at universities that implemented very widely, not just at UNSW.
"The worst part is that these things are being run without consultation. Everything is top down and the curricula are being decided without academic staff input."
Tim Kaliyanda, who recently won a position as President of the SRC, says changes to FASS don't come up in the biannual Faculty board meetings, but are resolved by the Standing Committee, which excludes student members.
"Students don't have a voice at grassroots level because they are not involved in the meetings, and don't have a role in putting things together. A lot of students are keen to get into meetings but they only get called twice a year."
SRC councillor and Social Sciences undergraduate student, Alex Peck, says program simplification is also affecting politics courses, and the options for majors subjects are reducing from year to year.
"Program simplification looks good at a chancellery level and the faculties have used it as an excuse to cut courses for economic reasons."
Pro-Vice-Chancellor for students, Joan Cooper, when asked by Alex whether there would be more class cuts, answered that there may be. Unfortunately, Professor Cooper did not respond to this question in time for the issue.
That the humanities do not generate as much money as medicine or engineering is nothing new. But does this make them superfluous? Whatever happened to the prestige of academia?
"If you look at the courses at the postgraduate level at UNSW," Professor Slezak says, "there are no liberal arts like history, literature, or music."
Universities, he adds, are of course a business. But "they should not be regarded money-making down to the level of individual courses. The misguided model is that everything has to pay its own way regardless of its intrinsic academic or intellectual value."
A great professor once told a class full of blank-faced politics students (amongst them, yours truly): It is our duty as parents, and lovers, and friends, to educate our lovers and children and friends. He was speaking in connection to our ignorance about Nobel Prize in Literature winners, not politics.
Education is never in excess, and universities should be the first place to defend ideas. To eliminate the traditional academic disciplines and the great ideas of our culture is, in the words of Professor Slezak, "a tragedy".

*waits for pro evo fixed player mode where you call for the ball by screaming "Jaric, im open! Not to the other team you fat lump, we wear blue".
Football manager would become allot more interesting to me.
Or shouting orders to units in starcraft. "No you moron I said repair the base not go sit inside the damn thing"
Mind you shouting would stop you be able to stuff your face at the same time.
Heh, your player's motivation could be linked to the volume and tone of your screaming.
Swear related performance would be good.
Instead, it's geared towards creating games where more abstract sounds are used to control the on-screen action.
How long before the pr0n industry pick up on that one.
If I gave voice orders to game characters they would soon become demoralized because of the sheer amount of abuse i'd give them. Then i'd get shouted at for all the swearing coming from my room. Must remember to not shout when wearing headphones.
Yes, but Endwar worked in a similar way - it didn't recognise words as such, just the general sounds of those words - which is why the vocabulary was so limited, as the words had to be sufficiently phonetically different for the engine to recognise them.
Looks like fun, could be good for social gaming in the way the Wii is now.
I could imagine a lot more false positive domestic abuse investigations .
Hal open the pod bay doors... Oh wait!
Ha, that's what I thought too. I read "Instead, it's geared towards creating games where more abstract sounds are used to control the on-screen action." and "This would potentially enable the technology to be used with Microsoft's Kinnect controller, opening up the possibility of games that can be controlled by both sound and motion."

An interview with Mrs Renée Ciarra (Jetsetter)
by Serge Nadeau, CFOU 89.1 FM
An excerpt from Jetsetter interview released on February 2007 :
What are your principal musical influences ?
My all time favorite singers are Mariah Carey, Lara Fabian, Patti LaBelle, Freddie Mercury and Sarah Vaughan. For songwriting, I love Ani DiFranco, Stevie Nicks, Courtney Love and Rage Against the Machine. My favorite new bands are The King Left and The Arcade Fire.
I listen to people that write and sing from their souls. Music is about rejoicing and communicating through a universal language. Bands that do music just for the ego or some luxurious fantasy disgust me.
I have an internal drive to record beauty. Sometimes I switch into a zone where there's nothing I can do but write, and the lyrics just pour out. There is no logic or method.
Jetsetter is a duo band… What kind of music is it exactly ?
Jetsetter is me and Tyler Finck, who is a genius musician. We met in film school at Ithaca College when I realized he composed these beautiful soundtracks for numerous student films. We quickly became friends and played a game where I would pick a CD that he's never heard and he'd keep it for a week, then respond with a similar CD that I'd never heard..
Tyler and I work well together because he composes very beautiful, cinematic music, whereas I focus on lyrics and hooks. We call our music trip-pop, because it's full of fun grooves but has dark atmospheric textures. Some of our songs are energetic, some are laid back. All of the lyrics are very genuine- I sing from my heart. People have compared us to Radiohead, Björk, Massive Attack, Portishead and Ani DiFranco.
You're singing in French in the song « Il s'en va ». Should we expect other songs in French on VasoVerga ?
There are some things that are better expressed in French, so I will always write French songs. There is one interlude on the album called « Printemps » that is actually about how everyone thinks French is so sexy no matter what you're saying.
I practice my French by singing along to my favorite francophone singers like Lara Fabian and Zazie.
You seem to have a real passion for the French culture. Would you tell me why ?
I've had a strong passion for the French culture for a long time; I think partially because the language is the most beautiful in the world – the sounds blend into each other very softly. I love all the stereotypical things associated with Paris like art, romance, sex, cheese, wine, vacation and rebellion. There's also a melancholy aura to Paris that doesn't exist elesewhere; it's filled with ghosted footsteps of the distaut poets and painters before us. I lived there only for six months, but I gained a part of myself there and left a part of myself there.
When will your first album be released?
Our debut album, VasoVerga comes out in March (2007). You can buy it on iTunes. You can hear songs on our website.
Did Jetsetter play live or is just a studio band ?
We've been working on VasoVerga for the past year, so we haven't had time to perform. This upcoming year we'll be doing some shows.
What's next for the future ?
Right now is the future, and we're just getting VasoVerga our there and constantly writing songs.
Thank you very much, Mrs Ciarra, for your precious collaboration.

Q: How can I get a list of windows with Wnck, using PyGI? I just started using PyGI (on Ubuntu Natty), although I have never used pygtk before.
I have used wnck in a wxPython program though, and it was easy enough to get a list of currently opened windows. From PyGI, the window list is always empty.
relevant code bits:
from gi.repository import Gtk, Wnck

while Gtk.events_pending():
    Gtk.main_iteration()
#... in my app class...
    screen = Wnck.Screen.get_default()
    wins = screen.get_windows()

with that, wins == [].
Thanks!

A: You need to call screen.force_update() before screen.get_windows() returns list of windows. Unfortunately docs are lacking this part :(
In [1]: from gi.repository import Gtk, Wnck

In [2]: Gtk.main_iteration()
Out[2]: True

In [3]: screen = Wnck.Screen.get_default()

In [4]: screen.force_update()

In [5]: screen.get_windows()
Out[5]:
[<Window object at 0x167bd20 (WnckWindow at 0x195d0e0)>,
 <Window object at 0x167bf00 (WnckWindow at 0x195d740)>,
 <Window object at 0x167bf50 (WnckWindow at 0x195d850)>]

A: In your example you have to use: Gtk.main_iteration_do(False) instead of Gtk.main_iteration().

Does Social Interaction Synchronize Circadian Clocks?
Whether it's huddling for warmth or offering protection from predators, social interaction could be the mechanism that lets animals living in groups synchronize their activities.
This social presence affects the daily rhythm of activity and rest, and the larger the group, the greater the likelihood of synchronization, according to a new study.
At one time these rhythms were thought to be generated by a direct response to the daily cycle of lightness and darkness. But even without light or other external cues, most animals still have a 24-hour rhythm.
In the absence of external cues, something internal must be regulating these rhythms, according to Paul.
More Animals, More In Sync?
Most studies examining how animals time their behaviors have used only animals living alone, and it has been assumed that species members synchronized to a common external cue.
However, social regulation of circadian clocks is another possibility. The trend was present in previous experiments, but the results were mixed.
Paul says one possible rule is that social synchronization requires larger numbers of animals, and the likelihood of synchronization increases as the size of the group increases.
The researchers determined synchrony by measuring the body temperature rhythms of the mice. The study didn't go into detail to determine if, for example, all the mice were eating at the same time, but Paul says the overall implication is that their general activities are synchronized.
"This experiment suggests that living in groups can affect our rhythms, but we still need to know more," says Paul. "In order to remove external cues we did this experiment in constant darkness, an environment that mice prefer.

La Liga Preview: Mourinho leading Real
Jose Mourinho took over as manager of Real Madrid days after leading Inter Milan to victor in the Champions League final. The questions of whether or not anyone can be Barcelona and whether or not Mourinho can win anywhere will be answered about nine months from now. (Photo Courtesy: APasciuto)
Visions of Spain captain Iker Casillas proudly brandishing the nation's first-ever World Cup trophy two months ago are still fresh in the mind of soccer fans around the globe. Surrounding him on the podium were his teammates, including the likes of Barcelona stars David Villa, Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol, Xavi and Andres Iniesta. While the group celebrated the championship together, it all ends once La Liga begins its season.
The stars of los Galacticos and the leaders of l'equip blaugrana don't have much to celebrate together in most season. Last year, Barca edged out Real Madrid by three points and hopes to win the league for the third consecutive time.
There are, of course, other clubs in the league. But it always comes down Madrid and Barca when the season's approaches its conclusion.
Unlike last season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry won't be able to help Barca to the title. And Jose Mourinho will be calling the shots in the Spanish capital.

What is the hottest city in the world, temperature wise?
What would the temperature average for that city?
pjallittle
You can review different sites on the internet and get different answers, grab the first one you see, copy and paste. For example, there's one city that's being touted as the hottest but that's based on a single temperature recorded in 1922, which hardly qualifies it as the hottest city in the World in reliance on one temperature. But more than that, the Asker wants a city which Al Aziziyah was not then and can hardly be considered more than a town today.
The World Meteorological Organisation says.
Bangkok, Thailand is the world's hottest city. Other cities like Rio may reach higher temperatures but Bangkok rarely cools down, tending to remain largely above 30 deg C from day to night, summer to winter.
Another source says:
10 Hottest Cities
(deg.F) (deg.C)
1. Timbuktu, Mali 84.7 29.3
1. Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India 84.7 29.3
3. Khartoum, Sudan 84.6 29.2
3. Omdurman, Sudan 84.6 29.2
5. Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India 84.0 28.9
5. Niamey, Niger 84.0 28.9
7. Aden, Southern Yemen 83.9 28.8
8. Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India 83.8 28.8
9. Madras, Tamil Nadu, India 83.5 28.6
10. Ouagadougou, Upper Volta 83.5 28.6
The Guinness Book of Records says many different things, it may be viewed here:
http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/MichaelLevin.s...
Accordingly, I think we should go with what the World Meteorological Organisation says as it is the most reliable and scientifically source and they base their pick on many decades of records.
Therefore, as your question did NOT ask for the hottest one day recorded temperature but instead asked for the averages the best answer is Bangkok, year in and year out. And Bangkok fits every definition of a city. .
You also asked for high/low and Bangkok will often remain the same overnight.

El Azizia, in Libya, located on the northern part of the African continent. On September 13, 1922 the thermometer reached a blistering 136° F/57.8° C.
There are many places on earth that are plenty hot. In fact, there's a good chance on the day this record-breaking temperature was recorded by a meteorological station in El Azizia in 1922 there were other places hundreds of miles away that were even hotter. In all likelihood, this record temperature has been exceeded since then in many places on earth, but there are no official records of the temperatures.
Also, most humans don't 'hang out' where some of the hottest tempertatures on earth are regularly experienced so there aren't a lot of meterological stations in these places to reliably record extreme temperatures.

Halal as an Institution
BY IFANCA
This article is produced and sponsored by The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA®). It was first published in the State of the Global Islamic Economy 2020/21 report produced by DinarStandard and supported by the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre. The report can be downloaded from here.
Halal certification is more than a logo and more than a regulatory requirement – it's thought leadership, a sustainable institution, a committed community with dedicated partnerships, integrated compliance and the growth engine of the global Islamic economy. It enables food security and nutrition equity to one fourth of the world's population.
The development of the halal economy is dependent on a solid infrastructure.
In the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics space this goes beyond understanding ingredients. It includes developing halal guidelines and requirements and maintaining strict compliance programs to gain the trust and confidence of all stakeholders.
Food and nutrition are basic human needs. For Muslims, consuming Halal products is not a choice, it is a matter of faith. Every person is entitled access to essential nutrition. Halal certification makes this possible for over a billion consumers.
Paving the way for the halal economy
The Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA®) was founded in 1982 to address the needs of halal consumers in a changing global landscape. Since inception, IFANCA has been at the forefront of finding solutions to complex issues.
When the global halal community was concerned about the use of alcohol in flavors and consumer goods, IFANCA conducted organoleptic tests, in 1986, to determine the level where it had no detectable sensory impact. Today, that level has been adopted by most regulatory bodies and incorporated into standards.
As the halal community struggled with the presence of gelatin in food and pharma, IFANCA developed a traceability system that tracks the production and movement from the cow to the consumers, so that the users can trust their nutritional supplements were undoubtedly Halal.
When the US government decided to provide halal and kosher meals to the soldiers, we worked with the food industry, specifically with a company called My Own Meals (R) to develop Halal certified meals ready-to-eat (MREs). In addition, this made it possible for food supplies to be provided to Muslims in regions afflicted by natural or man-made disasters.
On the new technology side, IFANCA certified as halal, the very first GMO ingredient in the world, the enzyme chymosin, making the production of Halal certified cheese products more feasible.
IFANCA best practices have been incorporated by key industry players such as Abbott, Pepsico, Coca Cola, Pfizer, and Cargill. Working with halal certification bodies throughout the world, our pioneering work continues.
Since 1999, IFANCA has been hosting annual conferences that bring together industry, regulators and certifying bodies to address key issues in the halal regulatory space.
Working with regulators and certifiers we co-founded the World Halal Food Council, a global membership organization working to increase cooperation among halal certifiers.
We have built a global halal community which is committed to making halal a mainstay in industry regulatory best practices. To our clients, we are not simply a certifier, but a partner that is key to successful compliance programs. IFANCA guidelines have touched every part of the supply chain — from raw ingredients to finished goods.
In recognition of its efforts, IFANCA received the Global Islamic Economy award from Dubai in 2013, for halal compliance and standardization.
Our work plays a critical role in the practice of consuming halal products for billions of halal consumers around the world. From emerging markets to developed economies, from supermarkets to campus dining, IFANCA is addressing the challenges of food security and nutrition equity.
Looking ahead, IFANCA will continue its work to harmonize standards further and to share best practices with all stakeholders. With our partners in industry and regulatory, we look forward to building even greater acceptance of halal products among all consumers.
It has been an amazing journey that was possible only with the partnership of certification and accreditation bodies, government regulators, educators, marketers, importers, exporters, manufacturers, and customers.
At IFANCA, we are very proud of the work we do – because halal certification is more than a logo and more than a regulatory requirement.

A GORSEY Bank school boy has been selected as the poster boy in a nationwide campaign for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust - Manchester United's chosen charity for 2006/7.
A GORSEY Bank school boy has been selected as the poster boy in a nationwide campaign for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust - Manchester United's chosen charity for 2006/7.
United supporter, Max Paton, six, jumped at the chance to front the campaign and be photographed alongside players Rio Ferdinand and Darren Fletcher.
It is hoped that Max, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was just four months old, will not only raise awareness of the illness, but encourage the public to raise funds for the charity by taking part in a sponsored abseil at Old Trafford later this month.
Leading by example is Max's parents Mark and Doninique, who have already pledged to complete the 120 feet abseil down the North Stand into the Theatre of Dreams.
Dominique, of Davehall Avenue, Wilmslow, said: "I have no idea how much we will raise, but hopefully lots. I am very nervous and excited because I've never done anything like this before.
"It is difficult for Max as he has to take a cocktail of around 30 tablets a day to keep him healthy, we also have to give him physio every day and he has to have intravenous antibiotics for two weeks every three months.
"So, when the Cystic Fibrosis Trust asked Max if he would like to be on the photos for the campaign he jumped at the chance as he and his dad are both United fans."
Cystic fibrosis is the UK's most common, life-threatening, inherited disease affecting 7,500 babies, children and adults. Each week five babies are born with cystic fibrosis and three lives are lost.
The abseil aims to raise £50,000 to help fund gene therapy research to help stop the disease from claiming so many young lives.
And the top fundraiser will win a pair of football boots signed by Rio Ferdinand.
Rio said: "I always get an adrenalin rush when I run onto the pitch at Old Trafford - and am sure people will feel the same if they take part in this abseil. It's a great chance to do something different and I'm sure lots of fans will love the chance to get so close to the action. It will make a real difference to the thousands of young people that have cystic fibrosis."
The event will take place on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October.
Fundraisers pledging to raise a minimum sponsorship of £100 can take part in the event for free.
For more information contact the Cystic Fibrosis Trust events team on 0845 859 1100 or email events@cftrust.org.uk .
