Queen's Park Honours Three from County
Three county seniors who have dedicated themselves to helping others took a bow at Queen's Park last week.
Woodrow Blakely of Picton, and George and Bessie Teskey of Wellington were among 21 recipients of Ontario Senior Achievement awards presented on June 28
Ontario's lieutenant -governor, Hon. Hilary Weston, presented the awards in the lobby of the Ontario Legislature, marking the culmination of Seniors' Month.
The recipients, nominated by their own communities from all over the province, are seniors deemed to have contributed exceptional voluntary or professional achievements in a broad range of fields.
For Blakely, that contribution has run throughout his life since, as a veteran in 1945, he began to volunteer his time and energy to Picton=s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78, and apply his speaking talents to helping young people understand the significance of war.
George and Bessie Teskey's contribution has ranged from helping out young offenders who might otherwise have fallen through the cracks of the justice system to a 15-year-long humanitarian aid program feeding and teaching skills to the poor in El Salvador.
Blakely attended the ceremony last week in a wheelchair, having suffered a stroke of the spine in April.
Rev. Stan Whitehouse, past president of Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors, the organization that put Blakely's name forward, recalled that despite Blakely=s recent stroke and the fact that he was undergoing rehabilitation at St. Mary's of the Lake hospital in Kingston, Blakely honored a speaking engagement shortly afterwards in Bloomfield. The event was a thanksgiving service by the Dutch people in the county marking the 55th anniversary of the liberation of Holland by Canadian troops. "Needless to say, " Whitehouse says, "his listeners were much moved and greatly impressed."
Blakely's work in his Picton community began shortly after he returned as a veteran from World War II. Although disabled by a shrapnel wound that left him with a leg disability, he became involved with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, and was the driving force in the restoration of a historic home in Picton, the McMullen House, acquired by the Legion in 1948. Through 26 years of service on the Legion executive, including six terms as president, Blakely shepherded the exterior and interior restoration of the old home to its present historically accurate grandeur.
His determination to see a job done, and done right, was evidenced in the restoration of Picton United Church tower, which by 1996 showed definite signs of distress. As a devoted churchgoer, Blakely vowed to campaign for the required $250,000 needed to do the work. He began by writing a cheque for $1,000 to get the ball rolling, then wrote an article in the Picton Gazette detailing the need for funds. His appeal was answered by local and expatriate county residents. The tower was restored and the bell rings again, thanks to the determination and dedication of the man described by Rev. Edward Horton, the present padre of Picton United Church, as "a man whose endeavors since his return from the war have been motivated by the desire to live his life in gratitude to those who died...."
Blakely's contributions don=t end there, however. Besides teaching English and history at Prince Edward Collegiate for 21 years, and raising five children with his wife Virginia, Blakely has overseen every Legion parade, service and special ceremony for 20 years.
He also organized local essay, poster and public speaking competitions sponsored nationally by the Legion, emphasizing the historical significance of World War II and its contribution to the cause of freedom and peace.
In the 1980s Blakely served on the board of directors of Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors.
George and Bessie Teskey retired in 1985 but have spent those 15 years helping the less fortunate in El Salvador. They have provided breakfast for the homeless and hungry, taught language and craft skills, and provided food, and medical supplies in increasing quantities each year, as word of their humanitarian efforts spread across Canada.
United Church members (George is an ordained United Church minister) from New Brunswick to Prince Edward County have donated clothing, toys and supplies. What was originally the Teskeys' annual van load of goods turned into a transport container load in 1995. Although the Teskeys' health no longer permits them to make the trip, in April of this year a planeload of supplies went to El Salvador, with the assistance of the Department of National Defence.
But long before their retirement years, the Teskeys began offering assistance to people who were in difficulty with the legal system. And long before there were halfway houses or the Young Offenders Act, the Teskeys provided support to young offenders and parolees. In fact, they were offered positions as parole officers, but declined, preferring their volunteer roles.
Parents of five children, and now in their 80s, the Teskeys still ride together on their motorcycle. They are active in the Wellington United Church , Bessie with the women=s organization, George with the men's. George also serves as a voluntary associate minister.

Fastjet FTZ1A (Airbus A319) shortly after landing in Dar es Salaam JNIA on its inaugural flight (Fastjet).
A new 'no frills' airline called 'Fastjet', modelled on the Easyjet airline which has revolutionised air travel in Europe, was launched in Africa on November 29th. The famous entrepreneur Sir Stelios Haji Ioannou, who started Easyjet, has joined with Lonrho's airline, which flies in West Africa to establish the new group. Significantly, Fastjet chose to begin in Tanzania and Dar es Salaam airport will be its first African hub. It has already leased two planes, has 15 more on order (all Airbus A319s with a capacity for up to 156 passengers), and plans to build up to a fleet of 40.
Tanzania's dynamic Minister of Transport, Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, spoke about the unusually speedy implementation of this vast project when he addressed a crowded AGM of the Britain Tanzania Society in London in mid November. Fastjet plans to expand from Tanzania into Kenya in 2013 and then to Ghana and Angola which are already served by the Lonrho airline. It is advertising for pilots, passenger services agents, cabin crew and crew managers and also for retail sales agents in the East African media.
The Citizen wrote that the launch had taken the country by storm, as the airline transported 900 passengers in eight flights from Dar to Mwanza and Kilimanjaro and back on its first day! The airline's management told investors that demand for seats on these routes far outstripped supply. In slightly over a week, Fastjet had recorded 8,000 bookings for its first two routes and the Fastjet.com website had received over 20,000 hits in its first four days. Fastjet sells air tickets as cheap as $20 (TShs 32,000) one way pre-tax, although most tickets are expected to sell at around TShs 120,000 according to Chief Executive Ed Winter. This is still significantly less than its main competitor, Precision Air, which charges about TShs 375,000 for a return ticket between Dar es Salaam and Mwanza excluding taxes. Precision Air operates three flights a day on the Dar-Mwanza route. Air Tanzania (ATCL) operates one flight a day for the same route, while Fastjet now operates two flights a day.
The London Times, in its coverage, emphasised the new airline's mascot. In an article under the heading 'Parrot prepares to take to the skies,' it wrote that Sir Stelios had taken the African grey parrot as the airline's mascot. It said that the African grey was renowned for its intelligence and therefore the perfect personification of the smart way to fly.
What will happen to Precision Air and Air Tanzania?
Precision Air, the main Tanzanian airline, has been developing rapidly and, unlike Air Tanzania, is a well managed and successful airline. It has 13 aircraft and is not paying dividends to shareholders from its profits (TShs 634 million last year) but using them instead to modernise its fleet. It seems likely to face strong competition from Fastjet on the routes it covers. However, according to the East African, it may have already adopted a strategy to protect its Tanzanian market. In November it received a new 50-seater ATR 42-800 plane, thus being the first airline to operate this new model, and is expected to receive two more as part of a three year $100 million fleet expansion plan. ATR (Aerei da Trasporto Regionale or Avions de Transport Régional) is a French-Italian aircraft construction company headquartered in Toulouse, France. The ATR's are able to land at most of Tanzania's airstrips many of which have hangers that cannot accommodate bigger planes.
Air Tanzania Company Ltd has had such a blighted history, exacerbated often by poor management, that many are said to be wondering if it has any future in the new age of fierce competition. But it struggles on and in October 2012, after a long gap when it was not operational, it took to the air again with its two aircraft – a 50-seater Dash SQ-300 and a leased Boeing 737-500. It also has to cope with other competition in Tanzanian airspace including planes from Link, Kenya airways, Fly 549, Air Uganda and Rwandair.
Immediately after the first Fastjet flights the two older airlines issued a statement which said that Fastjet was not a threat to their businesses because of the quality of their services and customer loyalty that they had cultivated over a long period.
ATCL Acting Commercial Director Mwanamvua Ngocho noted: "I don't see any threat, though we perceive the coming of Fastjet as a challenge for us to come up with more innovative services. These are business techniques which aim at capturing human psychology without necessarily reflecting the real cost of travelling…Otherwise, we will work together without any problem,". She also expressed doubts about the sustainability of the low budget airline, saying it would take a short time for Tanzanians to understand that the real flying cost is almost the same as other airlines especially with bags and other luggage taken into account.
Fastjet said they were not launching a price war with other operators but aimed at stimulating the market by attracting new travellers who had not been flying before. As this issue goes to the press, there are reports, as yet unconfirmed, of a possible partnership with Emirates and moves to establish a hub in South Africa (London Times 5th December).
The government has called for bids from 20 international firms for the construction of a third terminal at the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam as traffic increases substantially each year. The expanded airport aims to step up passenger numbers to 8 million per year. The successful bid will be announced in January 2013 and the work will be done under a public/private partnership arrangement. The airport was constructed in 1984 when passenger numbers were 1.5 million.
Approaching its 100th birthday, the lake steamer MV Liemba still travels once a week to ports on Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania and Zambia. Built in Hamburg in 1913, it was sunk by its German crew during the First World War when named the Goetzen. It has been many times rehabilitated but may now need to be sent into retirement – probably to become a museum. It has not escaped the eyes of Minister Mwakyembe who has been to Germany in the hope of rekindling interest in the vessel, for which many Germans are said to have much affection.
Tanzania, Zambia, and China have agreed on 12 new projects to help improve the performance of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (Tazara) line which has become dilapidated over recent years. Cargo has dropped from 1.2 million tonnes in 1992 to 330,000 tonnes in 2011-12. Passengers are down from its original 3 million capacity to 790,000 in the same period. China is providing £42 million for rehabilitation of 42 passenger coaches, 6 locomotives and rescue and lifting equipment.
Tanzania's first ever commuter rail service was launched on 29th October. The first route (operated by Tanzania Railways Ltd TRL) covers 20km between Ubungo-Maziwa and the central railway station, while the second is operated by Tazara and covers 25km between Mwakanga (Pugu area) and the Tazara station. Initially a single train is operating on each line, shuttling to and fro during the morning and evening rush hours. A one-way ticket costs 400TShs (about £0.15), and just 100TShs for pupils, comparing favourably to daladala fares which range between 500 shillings and 1,000 shillings depending on the journey.
Inaugurating the new service, Dr Harrison Mwakyembe said TSh6 billion (£2.3 million) had been spent renovating train carriages and railway infrastructure for the TRL line while about TSh800 million (£0.8 million) was spent repairing the Tazara tracks. He thanked TRL officials for their decision to forgo purchase of brand new railcars in favour of renovating old ones which allowed the project to remain within budget.
As of December the government has stopped issuing licences to private companies that operate small commuter buses (daladalas) in Dar es Salaam, as part of its plan to replace them with much larger buses under a government-managed rapid transit system (DART) (see TA 98).
This line lost 83 kms of track in the floods last year and then had to cope with the disastrous contract with an Indian management company which eventually had to be terminated. A very limited service is now being offered. This line promises to be the Minister's biggest headache.
The biggest project being planned by Tanzania's Ministry of Transport is the construction of a new port at Mwambeni Bay, Tanga. It is part of a grand project to develop an alternative sea route for Uganda and other land-locked countries such as Malawi, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which have been depending on the overcrowded port of Mombasa. The project, a joint effort with Uganda, would include a new railway from Arusha to Musoma and a new port on the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria. Freight would be conveyed from Musoma dock by ferry to Port Bell pier – about 350 kilometres inside Uganda. A rail connection runs via Tororo to Gulu – nearly 600 kilometres on the Pakwach branch. North Gulu. A new line of roughly 250 kilometres would be constructed to Juba, and a further 550 kilometres to the Wau railhead in Southern Sudan. President Museveni of Uganda has repeatedly said that Musoma port was the "lifeline" of Uganda's dreams.
A feasibility report prepared by UK-based consultants United Research Services recommended the construction of the new Tanga port because the present capacity would hit its maximum pressure in 2016. Although the existing port could be increased to accommodate short term traffic growth, it would become very congested. The team believe that export of soda ash from the proposed project at Lake Natron would only be possible with new port facilities. However, a section of industrialists saw no logic in constructing a new port at Mwambeni as opposed to undertaking the rehabilitation of the old port.
A speaker at a Stakeholders' meeting on this final feasibility study said that talks about the new port dated as far back as 1968, when a foundation stone was laid on the proposed site. Conservationists at the meeting demanded that the project be scrapped to preserve the Coelacanth marine park (the primordial fish that was earlier believed to have been extinct since the end of the Cretaceous period) and sea tourism.
The Minister for Transport made his position clear and assured Tanga residents that the government had not forsaken Tanga. Reacting to the alleged threat to the Coelacanth, the Minister said that government was being very cautious over the matter, noting that a very thorough feasibility study had been conducted to make sure it was on the right track.
The report caused fresh outcry from environmentalists concerned that the proposed railway extension is expected to pass through the Serengeti National Park. This is a development which environmentalists are vehemently opposing, arguing that the ecosystem would be disrupted with noisy trains passing through the wildlife sanctuary. They claimed that this was what had caused the plan to be shelved during the days of the late President Nyerere when the idea was first mooted in the late 80s.
Officials of the two countries have said the project is provisionally estimated to cost $2.7 billion, out of which $1.9 billion is for the construction of the railway line, $672.6 million for the development of Mwambeni Port and $72 million for the development of Musoma dock.
Prominent Channel Ten TV reporter Daudi Mwangosi (40) was killed on 2nd September while a demonstration he was covering in Nyololo Village in Iringa region was being dispersed by police, attracting widespread concern and international condemnation.
A joint committee formed by the Media Council of Tanzania (MCT) and Tanzania Editors Forum (TEF) to probe the circumstances that led to his death released its findings on October 8. At the press conference, MCT Secretary General Kajubi Mukajanga said evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt that the police had deliberately and consciously intimidated Iringa-based journalists covering Chadema activities at Nyololo Village.
"The investigation was independent and was not meant as a police inquiry or judicial inquest, but as an honest documentation of the state of affairs surrounding the first ever killing of a Tanzanian journalist on duty," Mr Mukajanga said, "Generally, this committee – based on the evidence collected in the region – concludes that there was a tense and suspicious relationship between the two sides. Mwangosi was killed in cold blood in the hands of the police". The committee made field visits and conducted interviews with journalists based in Iringa, Chadema officials and eye witnesses. Evidence collected included video clips, still pictures and publications, and broadcast materials from media organisations.
To support the allegations of the "tense and suspicious" relationship Mukajanga noted that, in November 2011, Iringa-based ITV reporter Laurean Mkumbata was brutally beaten and his working equipment destroyed in front of the Iringa Officer Commanding the District. "In similar incidents, the committee has learnt that towards the end of February 2011, Iringa-based journalists were mistreated during the official visit of Vice President Mohamed Gharib Bilal." Mukajanga said that, Iringa journalists were denied accommodation in hotels, a situation that forced them to sleep in a bus they were travelling in.
Meanwhile, a Special Committee was set up by Minister for Home Affairs Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi, under Judge Stephen Ihema, which also reported in early October. The committee established that there was excessive use of force by police, but ruled this out as the cause of the death of Daudi Mwangosi. The committee was, however, unable to reveal what caused the death of the journalist as the case was already pending in a court of law.
A 'Daudi Mwangosi Fund', aimed at taking care of journalists in trouble due to their working environment, is being set up.
The border dispute between Tanzania and Malawi (see TA 103) has taken a new twist, prompting the contending parties to seek mediation before retired eminent persons of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister, Bernard Membe, told journalists that this latest move was reached to avert a looming stalemate over the exact ownership of Lake Nyasa. Membe said the two sides had now officially agreed that there were two fundamental issues – Malawi maintains that the Lake north of Mozambique belongs to Malawi in keeping with the 1890 treaty signed between the German Government for Tanganyika and the British Government for Nyasaland, while Tanzania maintains that her border passes straight through the middle of the Lake – splitting the northern part of the water body roughly into two equal parts – as an international border.
Given such fundamental differences, both sides had seen the need to find a mediator to lead the next processes of the negotiations, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the dispute. It was therefore proposed that they should send a letter to the SADC mediation committee, chaired by former Mozambican President Joachim Chissano, early in December. The letter will request the former Mozambican leader to form a team of professional lawyers and other experts from across the African continent that would help sort out the legal aspects. The committee would have three months to tender its recommendations i.e. by late March 2013.
The minister added that should a decision mutually acceptable to the contending parties elude this committee, the matter would then be taken before "the highest levels of international arbitration", such as the International Court of Justice, for further mediation. Membe said an appeal to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) would be made in accordance with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), which could provide the framework for a speedy solution. He explained that the meeting had been called specifically to discuss the various options available for resolving the boundary issue which had been recommended by the joint committee of officials from both countries who had met on November 18.
Malawian Foreign Affairs Minister Ephraim Chiume expressed optimism and thanked President Jakaya Kikwete and President Joyce Banda for the steps they had taken to ensure the matter would be resolved amicably.
While Tanzania's economy, with the help of its increasing supplies of gas, forges ahead, the country's agricultural industry receives less notice. In fact, agriculture is finally moving ahead rapidly under the influence of the Government's 'Kilimo Kwanza' policies and also the greatly increased interest in agricultural investment by local and foreign investors. The latter, although very keen to bring in huge sums for investment, are operating in a climate of mounting criticism and suspicion that they are involved in 'land grabbing' and forcing peasant farmers off their land. Nevertheless, it is believed that some significant investments are being made. although often in an almost clandestine form. TA has been very limited in its coverage of agriculture and we need a volunteer to join our editorial team to cover at least some of the many exciting developments under way. We mention below a few of these – Editor.
The German based development finance institution DEG – Deutsche Investitions-und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (German Investment Corporation) – has launched a Coffee Partnership for Tanzania (CPT), to bring together Tanzanian smallholder coffee farmers and DEG with private sector partners. The four-year project aims to increase the net income of 85,000 smallholder coffee farmers by doubling their yields and by improving the quality of coffee produced, thereby providing a better livelihood for up to 510,000 people.
DEG's Project Director for CPT, Ian Lachmund, said that the project is financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through a $ 8 million grant. The project activities include promotion of well-governed farmer groups, training of farmers in basic business and agronomy skills, improvement of farmers' access to finance and affiliating producers to certification schemes – thereby increasing overall productivity and quality and improving smallholders' access to stable export markets. "Additional activities in the areas of gender, seedling multiplication and distribution and renewable energy, as well as livestock and food production, will be undertaken to promote the environmental and social sustainability of the partnership," he said – Guardian.
There were some 70 foreign and over 40 local investors at an Agribusiness Investment Showcase in late November. This brought together the government and private sector to display investment opportunities within the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) and to accelerate investment in this sector of Tanzania's vibrant economy. SAGCOT's objective is to foster commercially successful agribusinesses to benefit the region's small-scale farmers, and to improve food security, reduce rural poverty and ensure environmental sustainability via the public-private partnership method. Initiated at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Africa summit in 2010, the aim is an inclusive, multi-stakeholder partnership to rapidly develop the region's agricultural potential. The founding partners will include farmers, agri-business, the Government of Tanzania, SAGCOT and companies from across the private sector.
The event, held at the Bank of Tanzania (BOT) conference centre, was introduced by Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda. He highlighted the Government's plan to invest USD 1.3 Billion to leverage about USD 2.1 Billion from the private sector to transform and commercialise smallholder agriculture in Tanzania. He also highlighted the tremendous potential for investment in agribusinesses in Tanzania with 44 million hectares of arable land, of which only about 25% are utilised, together with huge potential for livestock and fisheries development. The event attracted 70 foreign prospective investors and over 40 local companies aiming at taking advantage of investment opportunities within SAGCOT.
The government has assured peasant farmers living around the 63,000-hectare Mkulazi Farm that the proposed commercial agriculture investment project would not grab their land. Instead, the government would take precautions to ensure that any land ownership contracts will benefit Tanzanians living in the project area and the country at large.
The Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) is running an intensive promotion of the Mkulazi area , named the Southern Agricultural Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT), to encourage local and international investment aimed at turning the area into a sugarcane and rice production hub. The project would see the construction of two sugar factories with an annual production of 300,000 tonnes, which would end the sugar shortage completely and open doors for large exports.
As various investors visited the area to view the available potentials, villagers who run agricultural activities close by raised concern to government officials over the visitors' commitment in developing the area and its impact on the lives of the neighbouring community. They said experience had shown that investors packed and left hurriedly after they failed to fulfill targeted obligations, without considering paying their workers, most of whom were residents of the area.
Mr Chiza said implementing the project would see development of infrastructure in the area through construction of roads and bridges. the installation of power systems and Tazara Railway services would be improved. Investors would bring technology that would be helpful in transforming traditional agriculture to commercial farming that was valuable in the fight against poverty in the country. "The government, through TIC, will carry out sensitisation meetings at grassroots level, aimed at increasing public understanding of the agenda and translate the available opportunities to a win-win situation," he said –The Citizen.
Tanzanian small farmers are among beneficiaries of a $210 million investment fund, promoted by the Export Trading Group (ETG) and aimed at opening market opportunities for traders. It is based in Tanzania and has operations in sub Saharan Africa. It connects smaller farmers to consumers around the world by procuring, processing and distributing agricultural commodities. It sells the goods to countries like China and India – The East African.
According to Land Portal, a data base on international land deals, Tanzania has leased more than 1.4 million hectares to foreign companies from Europe and Asia including 100,000 hectares to a Norwegian company for the planting of trees and 45,000 hectares to a British company for the cultivation of sorghum. An American company's efforts to lease 325,000 hectares in Rukwa region is being disputed because it is said to be threatening the livelihood 160,000 Burundi refugee households.
Controversy surrounds discussion about investments in cotton contract farming by ginners and others but the government has stated that rules had to be followed if these were to be successful.
The London Times has reported on the results of the Royal Society of Chemistry's offer of £1,000 to anyone who can explain the counterintuitive Mpemba effect on freezing hot water (described in TA 103). But the paper said that there was still no real solution. The Society had been swamped by the number of responses it received and had had to take on extra staff to cope with the rush. They received more than 200 responses from Croatia alone; 7,000 from the US; 800 from Britain; 880 from China and four from Afghanistan!
The Society has decided to ask people to vote on which of the solutions offered they consider to have been the best. Times readers were recommended to visit the Society's website for details.
On the 13th anniversary of Mwalimu Nyerere's death on October 13, the Citizen published an article by Saumo Mwalimu commemorating the first President's time living in Magomeni Usalama in Dar es Salaam and later in Butiama, Mara region.
'In a not-so-secluded alcove right in the middle of the city is a building whose walls could speak volumes about the founding of this nation. Located a mere four kilometres from the heartland of Dar es Salaam, an ancient structure stands tall, its national flag pulsating to the beat of a gentle city breeze. When visitors descend on this whitewashed building they are left without any doubt that it is an important landmark. The national livery, in splendid yellows and greens and blues and blacks stands ready to welcome guests. There is also the giant placard outside the property which reads in Kiswahili: "Makumbusho ya Kumbukizi ya Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere"… This rather verbose description lets visitors know the site is a tribute to the life of the founding father of Tanzania.
As monuments go, it is a rather humble abode. It is however perhaps a fitting memorial to the legendary statesman, who is remembered for championing egalitarian causes that saw the promotion of Ujamaa, a mode of African socialism that sought to put economic and social power in the hands of the masses…. However, the building has never been good at attracting guests despite its ties to a man whose life is intrinsically linked to the history of the nation. Passersby often cast sidelong glances over the gate as they go on their way; as if to try and sneak a peek inside without having to actually go in.
Mwalimu Nyerere lived in this house after he quit his teaching post at St Francis College (what is now known as Pugu Secondary) to take up full time the cause of Tanganyika's independence, according to curator Ms Victoria Bache. "In this house Mwl Nyerere hosted meetings of the Tanganyika African Association and (its successor) the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU)," she said, pointing out that the building is testament to the history of the struggle for independence in Tanganyika.
After he had left his job at St Francis, Mwl Nyerere moved in with other political activists but these new dwellings were deemed perilous for a man of his stature. He subsequently moved to Maduka Sita in Magomeni, where he resided in "Shop Number Four" according to Ms Bache. He was given the Usalama plot by one Sheikh Abeid Karuta, where he built from scratch and moved into his new home in January 1959, two years before independence in 1961. Mwalimu stayed at the complex for only eight months. He was moved to Sea View after he became the chairman of TANU.
Despite its rich history, the Usalama museum has had a tough time drawing in foot traffic since it officially began operations early in 2012. according to its curator. "It's hard to blame anyone for this," she said, adding that very little had been done to promote the site. From March to November 2012 the monument and museum brought in a total of TShs 93,700 from just 163 visitors. Entry costs TShs500 per person. The curator admits that there is not much to see in the museum. The few items on display include several family beds that Mwl Nyerere owned at some point, cookers, a radio, some medals, sofa sets and bathroom fixtures.
Very few of the original fixtures have survived the years of neglect. Most have been sold off and some are in the hands of Mwalimu Nyerere's family. "I'm doing my bit to keep this place going but I can not do it alone" she said.
As the Dar museum struggles, business is brisk at its twin in Butiama, Mara region. The number of visitors there is picking up according to Curator Emmanuel Kyondo. Established in 1999, the centre receives around 9,000 visitors every year, all this despite the fact that it is located 48 kms from Musoma and a full 180 kms from the city of Mwanza. Visitor numbers might be on the rise but many more potential tourists are put off by the lack of suitable lodging facilities in Butiama, Kyondo said. "That's a big hassle; the lack of proper hotels and lodges. Many visitors would have to drive in, then drive back out to Musoma where there are nicer and more reliable hotels and guesthouses" Kyondo added.
Nearly half a century since the English Club closed its doors, remnants of its library can be found in the same room of the same building that once housed this bastion of English society abroad.
During the era in which Zanzibar was a British Protectorate, its library was central to its members' leisure and learning; but within the building's current incarnation as the Africa House Hotel, the remaining books stand in cabinets inaccessible behind a locked door. The numerous cardboard boxes within reveal that the once-active library has become a storeroom, and it is through glass panes the books' spines relate their titles and authors. Once bright, thorough, and visited daily, its current state is that of a neglected and mildewed miscellany.
This study is rooted in the notion that the same object can be admired or rejected, and the objects in question are English-language books that exist in various forms and locations throughout Stone Town, Zanzibar. The ways in which people respond to and use meanings have material, social, and cultural consequences for themselves and those meanings. It is proposed that books can inhabit numerous nuances of meaning and value depending upon the web of wider social relations that surround their location in time and space.
Three categories of English-language books are identified for the purpose of this study: Artifactual; Second-hand; and New.
The Artifactual are those of the English Club library that still exist within the Africa House Hotel. Remnants of this library are also found in curio shops in Stone Town and offer a fascinating insight into the reading habits and interests of those who are long-gone yet evidence of their presence remains.
Second-hand books are worthy of consideration as significant objects within the landscape and social fabric of Stone Town. Their origin and destination are largely the Western consumer, whilst their circulation is facilitated by Zanzibari booksellers. Notions of value and meaning can be extrapolated as a result of the encounter between local practices and ideas with Western forms.
New books sold in Stone Town are predominantly priced above the financial capabilities of most Zanzibaris. Whilst reading is not as essential to the human system as eating or sleeping, the interplay between the concept of reading as nourishment for the mind and yet not essential to survival suggests that perceptions of books as valuable commodities are blurred.
If books are pre-eminent as vehicles for information and education, and a source of culture and recreation, then a discussion of the presence of such a large number of books that serve transient tourists contributes to the stereotypical and outdated, yet created and maintained, societal differences between the Western, literate and wealthy world, and the Third, illiterate and poor world.
Perhaps the Swahili proverb 'Elimu ni maisha, si vitabu' ('Education is life, not books') informs a difference in social mores, as Zanzibaris might not consider books a means to an end and are not imbedded in the notion of lifelong learning or reading for pleasure. The impact of books donated from Western agencies is also questioned insofar as their effects contrast with their intended purpose.
Books are shown to be potent objects of analysis, especially as Zanzibar possesses a complex history of cultural exchange. Exploring the book as an object that possesses a cultural biography enables the reconstruction of human interactions and variants of meaning and value that can inhabit the same object as perceived by different people, all the while entangled within the history and society of Stone Town.
Jono Jackson recently graduated with an MSc in African Studies from St Antony's College, University of Oxford. He also studied Swahili & History at SOAS which included a term on Zanzibar. He has travelled extensively throughout Tanzania, and was a contributor to the 2nd Edition (2009) of the Footprint Travel Guide to Tanzania.

Visitation lists
Frankfurt city council had so-called visitation lists drawn up for the Judengasse for various years, including 1694, 1703 and 1709. The purpose of these lists was to provide a record of all Jewish households showing their members broken down into men, women, children, servants and foreigners, together with their occupations. The lists gave the city bureaucrats an instrument for making a better assessment of the number of people in the Jewish community and their ability to pay tax. As the name indicates, the lists were prepared during visits to the Judengasse by a city official. The "master builders" and the shames had to accompany the official on his visits to the households. He recorded both what he personally observed and what he was told. This led to numerous errors, for example when the official misheard the pronunciation of a name and recorded it incorrectly. The information on occupation is also frequently very vague and capable of different interpretations. Errors of this kind are, however, typical of sources of this type for this period.
Registers of buildings
The Jewish registers of buildings maintained by the Frankfurt city council are the most important source of information on the structural history of the Judengasse. The first two books were started directly after the decision to create the Judengasse and show the amounts spent by the city to build the synagogue, the mikve and the first few houses in the Judengasse. As the Jews had to bear the cost of subsequent building, subsequent registers only showed the city council's approval of new buildings and remodelling in the Judengasse. The new register opened in 1711 after the great fire in the Judengasse is a special case, as it includes drawings showing a front view and side view of almost all the houses. This source made possible the model commissioned by the Jewish Museum of the Judengasse as it was rebuilt after the fire of 1711.
Alexander Dietz
Alexander Dietz (1864-1934) was a respected Frankfurt lawyer and notary public. Although he was not a trained historian and pursued his historical studies as a hobby, he was one of the most important figures in Frankfurt historical research. Under the circumstances, the results of his work were astonishing. The most important of his many publications is his four-volume history of Frankfurt trade, which is still a standard work in the extensive literature on Frankfurt. Dietz also published a seminal work on the history of the Frankfurt Jews, the Stammbuch der Frankfurter Juden ("Family history of the Frankfurt Jews"), which appeared in 1907. This includes descriptions of the origin and history of 625 Jewish families, their houses, their social, economic and cultural life and other factors, and all for the period from 1349 to 1849.
The works of Dietz are a frequent source in many of the entries in this database.
Shlomo Ettllinger
Shlomo Ettlinger lived from 1889-1964 and was a lawyer. As a Jew he was not allowed to follow his profession during the Nazi era, and he devoted himself to research into the history of the Frankfurt Jews. When he was forced to emigrate in 1937 he continued his work in Palestine. After the war he lived in Frankfurt at times. Ettlinger made a very comprehensive review of old sources in an effort to establish the origin, marriages, dates of death, homes and other features of all the Frankfurt Jews into the 19th century. Through Ettlinger's work it is possible to identify not only the historicall important Frankfurt Jews but nearly every individual Frankfurt Jew. Ettlinger recorded the information on each individual on a seperate page. The thousands of pages that resulted were bound in volumes which take up over two metres on the shelves, an impressive testimonial to his industry. The originals are held in the Frankfurt city records, with copies at the Jewish Museum and Frankfurt university library. The works of Ettlinger are a frequent source in many of the entries in this database.
Isidor Kracauer
Isidor Kracauer was born in 1852 in Segen in silesia. After taking his doctorate in history at Breslau he came to Frankfurt in 1875 and became a teacher at the Philanthropin, one of the most important Jewish schools in Germany. Kracauer worked very keenly on the history of the Frankfurt Jews. The results of his research are a series of important publications, particularly his two-volume Geschichte der Frankfurter Juden ("History of the Frankfurt Jews"). Kracauer died in Frankfurt in 1923. He was the uncle of the prominent sociologist and author Sigfried Kracauer.

Create a budget. Making a diamond engagement ring budget before setting foot in a jewelry store is important. If you don't have a budget in mind, you'll be more likely to overspend on a diamond engagement ring. You wouldn't go to a realtor without knowing your budget for a house, would you? The same approach should be taken with purchasing a diamond. Also, once you begin shopping, be sure to tell your sales representative you do not wish to see any diamonds above your limit. If they don't respect that request, it's probably a red flag that they're putting profit ahead of people.
Shop around. When shopping for a new car, you probably wouldn't buy one from the first dealer you go to. Hopefully, you would shop around to make sure no other dealers in your area had a better price. The same should be true with diamond engagement rings. There can be a variance in pricing from jeweler to jeweler. Be careful, though, that when you're comparing diamonds from different dealers you compare apples to apples. Compare the same carat weight, cut, color, and clarity diamonds.
Know what's important. Take it from us – there is absolutely no need to buy a D colorless, internally flawless diamond. Your friends and family are not going to be looking at the diamond with a loupe or magnifying device. Instead, look for diamond clarity that is affordable and doesn't have large inclusions. This would be the SI1-SI2 range without "eye visible" inclusions. Large black inclusions, and inclusions that reflect, are usually more noticeable than white feather type inclusions. Also, look for a diamond color that is in your budget and doesn't compromise a nice bright white. For this, we typically recommend F-H (never going below an 'I' color grade). Lastly, don't ignore the cut grade. We've found that many sales representatives focus primarily on the color and clarity grades. Make sure to ask the salesperson for cut grades of the diamonds you're looking at as well. We recommend looking for a very good to excellent cut grade. You can have a K color, I1 clarity diamond with an excellent cut grade that will out-sparkle and out-fire a D colorless, internally flawless diamond with a poor cut grade.
Sleep on it. Finally, always 'sleep on it' before making a final diamond purchase. Don't ever feel pressured to make a decision on the spot, because it could be one you regret later. If a sales professional is rushing you, that's a red flag that it's probably not a company that will provide excellent customer service for the long haul. Other than cars and houses, buying a diamond engagement ring will probably be one of the biggest purchases of your life. With that can come a lot of pressure purely from yourself, but these tips can help you purchase a stunning diamond engagement ring for your partner with as little stress as possible.


Hello everyone, as I promised last week I have a real juicy newsletter for you this week. I am going to be looking at the power of using multimedia (audio and video) to increase your sales!
As you can see from the list above there are a lot of potential uses for audio and video.
In the past audio and video was frowned upon due to the large file sizes and long download time. Now, in the broadband age web users no longer face that problem and more and more are choosing to download audio and video. So why not get a piece of the action!
I'll show you an example of how I have used video in the past. You have no doubt already seen people promoting products using a review and a link to the product at the bottom of the page, well why not use video instead – a picture is worth a thousand words!
Now that's just a simple video that took me twenty minutes to put together, you don't have to be a pro (as you can probably tell going by my video!) anyone can do it.
You don't even need a big fancy sales page, just send people to your video and I can assure you they are much more likely to watch a video review than read a long page of text.
All you need is a Microphone/Headset, I got a cheap £29.99 (about $55) Mic and it works without any problems. I then use Camtasia to record the screen and produce the video in flash.
That's only one example of using video and audio instead of the usual methods. Everywhere you look you will be able to see audio and video appearing. If you watched my video to the end you will have been redirected to the sales page, even Jason James has recorded a personal audio message for you.
Personalising your sales pages with audio is a great touch; it turns you into a "real person" rather than just another web page!
The above methods are both great methods for increasing sales, but how about increasing the value of a product you already sell?
Turn your E-Books into Audio Books and add an extra $20 to the price!
Audio books are great; people can transfer them to a CD, I-Pod, MP3 player and listen to them at their leisure. I know a lot of people that actually listen to audio books in the car whilst driving to work. If you have written an E-Book then you would be crazy not to offer it in Audio format.
Simply read the book out loud and record yourself at the same time. Audio books are slightly different than videos; you do need a certain type of voice to narrate audio books. With video the voice isn't as important as you can look at the pictures but with audio books all you have is the audio.
Incidentally, in 2007 I will be launching a number of audio and video services. These will include custom video work as well as offering professional voice over services. So if you have an E-Book that you would like turning into an audio book by a professional actress then do get in touch with me. The site won't be launching for a few weeks yet but I will be happy to help you, leave a comment or use the contact me link at the top of the page.
That's just about it for this week's newsletter, I hope you enjoyed it and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing your videos!
Greetings everyone, I hope your November is going well. This week's newsletter focuses on making the most from your auto-responder (or mailing list) by using follow up emails.
As usual something happened to make me think about this subject in detail. As you may know I run an affiliate program for my Auction SOS software product. An affiliate of mine kindly added an Auction SOS promotion to their follow up sequence earlier this month. Yesterday the affiliate made two sales earning them a respectable $47 – for doing nothing!
This wasn't a one off promotion, the affiliate added the promotion to their auto-responder series to send out after x number of days. All it takes is a quick email with the affiliate link included and that affiliate is on a nice little earner every month via my program, just for typing out a single email.
3.	Affiliate sits back and counts the money every month!
That will take you at most 30 minutes, after 30 minutes work you can be earning a nice income on auto-pilot via your auto-responder! If you already have an auto-responder then why not try and put it to the test, you don't have to use the Auction SOS affiliate program, find a product that will suit your list and promote it to them via your auto-responder sequence.
Imagine if you get 10 new subscribers every day (which is very manageable), after 10 days each of those subscribers receives the email promoting "product X". That's 10 people each day clicking on your affiliate link, all on autopilot.
10 people a day may not sound like a lot but it's 70 clicks a week, over 300 clicks a month. If your product has an average 2% conversion rate that's not a bad return for doing no work is it?
Why do you have to stop at promoting one product though? You could send out another offer after another 20 days, then another and another and so on. Each offer making you a nice little income each and every month on autopilot.
This week I will show you exactly how easy it is to become an expert in your field!
There are experts in all walks of life, you will see experts every day on the TV, Radio or in your daily newspaper, experts are like tourists on a sunny Yorkshire day – they are EVERYWHERE!
But how did they become experts and what benefits are there in becoming an expert?
The experts you will see on the TV will have no doubt studied for years and years on their chosen subject to become an expert in the field. Over the years they become respected experts that everyone wants to know, their word is gospel, when they speak people listen!
When experts speak, people listen!
That's great but what does this have to do with us? More than you would think actually, on a lesser scale all of you reading this now have the power to become an authority figure in any field you have chosen.
Any of you reading now have the knowledge available to become an expert in your field. Everyone, and I do mean every one of you has something in your head that others would love to know. We all have hobbies and interests, all you need to do is document these and get people to read them, and before you know it people will be looking to you for guidance and advice.
Displaying this image automatically gives confidence to you the readers, and more importantly potential customers. It proves that you are not some cowboy that doesn't have a clue about the subject and it instantly gives confidence to your subscribers.
So what are you waiting for, start writing your reports and guides then you can become an expert in your field and start to reap the rewards!
Just a quick sidenote this week. A lot of you will have downloaded Internet Explorer 7 this week via the windows update. My initial impressions are quite good as a user, but as a Webmaster they are not so good, infact they are downright terrible.
Thankyou for contacting Microsoft with your concerns.
We have reviewed the websites listed and can confirm that your problem lies with your code. Your HTML code is no longer valid as Internet explorer 7 now only follows code that has been written to W3 standards.
This standard has been used for over 5 years now and all webmasters should be now following the W3 guidelines.
OK, I made all of that up but I bet for a split second there that you believed me. You believed me because you perceive me as an expert in the field and you would believe what I told you, even if in this case it is a load of rubbish! Have a read through the "email" again and you will realize how crazy it sounds, but you still believed it for a split second because it was me spinning you the tale!
That really is the end of this weeks newsletter, I hope you enjoyed reading it and I promise I won't make up any fake emails next week but I hope I managed to get my point across.
As always please leave any comments you may have!


Veterans often have multiple health conditions, making regular check-ins a critical component of care.
Many healthcare professionals recommend regular visits to a primary care provider, not just when you become sick or injured, but to maintain optimal health and wellness. According to Sara Mohn, an Army veteran and nurse practitioner who provides primary care at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, primary care is particularly important for Veterans.
To address the specific needs of Veterans, many of whom have multiple health conditions, the Cincinnati VA Medical Center and its regional clinics don't just rely on a single individual. Each Veteran receives care from a dedicated group of care providers.
"Each of our Veterans is assigned a team with a provider, be it a doctor or a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse and a clerk. Then when he or she has a problem, they have the number of the team. Embedded within the teams we have social work services, nutrition, clinical psychology and clinical pharmacy," Mohn says.
This approach allows the VA to provide an umbrella of services tailored to the needs of Veterans. Some services not typically available in private primary care, such as resources for managing food insecurity, are embedded directly into the program.
"One in five of our Veterans is hungry. We have a collaboration with the Freestore Foodbank, and have an onsite food pantry in primary care," Mohn says.
Mohn and other providers also appreciate the extra time they have with patients, as well as the greater flexibility they have when ordering care. The primary care team also acts as a gateway to more specialized services, many of which are available under the same roof.
Another benefit of having multiple resources in the same building is that Veterans who need appointments with their primary care provider and other specialists can often combine all their visits on the same day.
Specialized and emergency treatment can also be arranged quickly, without the need for the patient to come back on a different day or travel to another facility.
"It's really reassuring for the Veteran and also for the provider because you're not calling 911 and having a squad come. You can just call the emergency room, your team gets a wheelchair and away they go to get the proper care they need," Mohn says.
In addition to the Vine Street hospital, a full range of primary care is also available at the VA's six regional Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs). Located throughout Greater Cincinnati, the locations of the CBOCs were carefully chosen so that any Veteran in the area can reach a VA primary care facility in 30 minutes or less.
Mohn has worked at the Cincinnati VA full time since 2009, and also spent part of her residency there in 2000. Over the years, she's seen many changes.
"The VA is becoming more holistic in their approach to that Veteran patient. Oftentimes it's not just giving them medications. We're not like a pill sort of factory. We really look at I would say mind, body and spirit. I think that's really important just because our Veterans are marginalized on many levels. Some of them are very isolated and we're their family. Many Veterans come in and say, 'I had no idea that care was so great and people were so nice here.' I would just say to the Veterans, keep an open mind, give the VA a chance to really show them how we can minister to their needs," Mohn says.
The first step for Veterans getting engaged with VA Primary Care is to get enrolled in the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. Veterans can start this process by calling the Cincinnati VA eligibility office at 513-475-6499. Family members can also call the eligibility office to get information for a Veteran loved one but cannot enroll a Veteran.
Are you a physician that practices Primary Care or Emergency Medicine with an interest in providing healthcare to Veterans from the Tri-State area?
Call the Primary Care Department at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center at 513-861-3100 ext. 6304. Compensation includes 10 federal holidays, 26 vacation days, and 13 sick days every year. Other benefits are available. The Cincinnati is a five-star rated facility and ranks 5th out of 130 VA facilities.

FORT MONROE, August 26, 1862-6 a. m.
The gale is over, and I this morning start the fleet of small steamers, schooners, and barges which has accumulated in the past two days. I am now loading teams and batteries as rapidly as possible. A large number of ships and light schooners reported yesterday. I have divided them between Yorktown and this place. Is Keyes' corps or any portion of it to embark soon? If not, I think the large steamships might be discharged after Sumner has disembarked. I sent the City of Norwich to Newport News last night to load with General Porter's wagons and General sumner took possession of her. I will report progress again in a few hours.
AQUIA CREEK, August 26, 1862.
The Planter has not arrived; the McClellan and Ericsson are not quite discharged. It will be necessary to send them up to Alexandria to coal. They report enough to reach Fort Monroe. There are some 700 sick to be sent up, and the delay will not be great. Dispatches just received from Captain Sawtelle state that there has been a heavy gale off the fort since Saturday; that a large fleet left there this morning. Sumner's corps will arrive to-day. i think Sawtelle has plenty of transports, assistance, and workmen. The wagons and balance of the army will soon come forward. I go to Alexandria to-day.
FORT MONROE, August 26, 1862.
General Sumner started with all the transports, having on board his infantry, early this morning-about 5 o'clock; he should be at Aquia Creek by 6 or 7 to-night.
I am almost out of forage. On the 18th instant you informed me by telegraph that Colonel Belger had been ordered to send a few cargoes of hay and oats to Yorktown and this place. He has sent three small steamer loads to this point, but none to Yorktown. Captain Thomas has my letter on hand here. On the 6th instant you informed me that a contract based upon my call for bids would not be approved, for the reason that Colonel Belger had a very large supply on hand in Baltimore.


Blending Cloth comes in all shapes. You can purchase blending cloth to replace your hand carders, your blending board or even your table carder. There are different numbers of points depending on the type of fibre you are wanting to card. The lower the point #, the fewer the points it has on the cloth. 72 point is good for Merino and other types of wool with a lower micron count. The 108 point cloth is good for finer fibres like silk and mohair.
Its easy to make your own board from a simple version to more a sophisticated adjustable angle , adjustable keel type. Ours is the latter type with all the extra bits but you can easily produce your own version.
A suitable base board, slightly larger than the card cloth dimensions, needs to be sourced. There are lots of chopping boards or kitchen work top offcuts that would work just fine. Some blending boards have an adjustable rotating keel, but I have made one without and don't think I need one. I also use a paint brush as the blending brush instead of spending another $20-$40.
The most important part of the job is fixing the card cloth. Under no circumstances should it be glued.
The card cloth is manufactured to be on a flexible backing so that the wires will flex. If it is glued down then it looses this property and is no longer card cloth but just spikes on a board that are more likely to tear and break the fibres.
To fix all you need to do is keep it tight and fix the edges with staples or tacks. This also allows it to be easily replaced if ever it wears out after many years of use.
And there you have it, Your very own Blending Cloth and board!

/ Faruk Malhan
Ea is the deity of water and fertility…
According to Babylonian mythology, rivers which give the life to the lands of Mesopotamia, were created by Ea.
Since the dawn of humanity, human beings have believed that water gives life to the universe and humankind. Water has been a source of inspiration in architecture, art and writing for thousands of years and has played a vital role in the development and continuation of civilizations. The desire to reach, dominate, cross, and use water has created new values. In our Daily lives, we have always used anonymously designed pots, pans, and jugs bearing water-related themes.
Ea, inspired by the power, and fertility, elegance, and nobility of water, is handmade using crystalline glass. The Ea carafe brings to life traces of jugs, pitchers, mugs, and wooden ladles that were used thousands of years ago to serve water. Enriched by a turquoise alternative, Ea water carafes can be used to serve various beverages during different moods of the day and season.
Ea adds elegance to times shared at the dinner table…

These are a basic, budget drawer unit.. we don't generally fit them, or scribe into the side over the wheel arches. There is a spring bolt at the rear to stop the drawer coming all the way out. See faq page for more on this.
Here is a narrower on, with the drawers different size. This bloke wanted an internal width of 400 in one of the drawers..

Jessica Alba flaunted her smoking-hot bikini body in a tiny white bikini while vacationing in Cancun, Mexico, this week.
Alba maintains her sizzling bikini body with a low-carb, Paleo-style diet and fat-burning CrossFit workouts, as Celebrity Health Fitness reported.
Alba, whose net worth tops $200 million, joins a growing number of celebrities who do a combination of a Paleo-inspired diet and CrossFit to stay fit.
Jessica also runs on the treadmill, lifts light weights, does yoga and takes spinning classes.
Alba follows a low-carb, Paleo-based diet that features low-starch organic vegetables and fruits, and she avoids processed food, TheImproper reported..
Alba previously trained with CrossFit coach Yumi Lee. Lee is married to CrossFit athlete Ron Mathews, who trains "Magic Mike" hunk Joe Manganiello.
Manganiello has credited the low-carb Paleo diet and CrossFit for his rippling physique. Joe revealed his diet secrets and workout routine in his bestseller, Evolution.
Similarly, country superstar Tim McGraw lost 40 pounds with CrossFit and the Paleo diet. McGraw now has a rippling 8-pack for the first time in his life — at age 48.
CrossFit, a strength and conditioning program that combines weightlifting, sprinting and body-weight exercise, has soared, buoyed by the escalating popularity of the Paleo diet (most Paleos do CrossFit and vice-versa).
"Clinical trials have shown the Paleo diet is the optimum diet that can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, markers of inflammation, help with weight loss, reduce acne, promote optimum health and athletic performance," said professor Loren Cordain, author of The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook.
A Paleo-inspired diet can boost longevity, naturally increase energy and improve your sleep, said CJ Hunt, author of The Perfect Human Diet, agrees.

The Czech company GearspectGroupa.s. has approached JSC Ural Works of Civil Aviation about producing a type of grinding machine in Yekaterinburg that has never been released on the Russian market, according to Ural Works of Civil Aviation Commercial Director Valery Trushkin.
The proposal was announced during a visit by a Czech delegation headed by Plzeň Region Governor Václav Šlajs.
International engineering company. Developer and manufacturer of specialised technologies for grinding machines and similar devices.


Brad Kluver and Katie Eslinger met during their senior year of college at Gustavus Adolphus College. One night when Brad (being the gentleman that he is) walked Katherine home from the bar, he courageously asked for her number but didn't end up using it until months later during their spring break trip in PCB. Although they knew of each other throughout college, they were never formally introduced or spent much time together until their senior year spring break trip. When they returned home, the couple immediately started dating, and the rest is history!
Brad and Katherine are the perfect match, with Brad being the laid back, cool calm and collected type and Katherine mixing in a bit of the "type A" organized and timely half of the duo. Together, the couple makes for a perfectly balanced and social pair. Brad and Katherine love spending time with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors and have passion for their fields of work. Brad is a kindergarten teacher and works on his family farm while Katherine just recently graduated from physician assistant school (congratulations!) and is hoping to work in family practice.
In March of 2016 Brad and Katherine took a ski trip with her entire family, Brad felt the trip was a perfect opportunity to pop the very important question. When he asked Katherine to be his wife on top of picturesque mountain in Keystone, she made the easy decision to say yes!
The wedding planning began immediately after they returned from the trip, as the blushing bride-to-be couldn't wait to get things rolling. The decision to have the ceremony at St. Phillip the Deacon Lutheran Church in Plymouth was an easy one for the couple. Katherine grew up attending the church with her family, they also had the opportunity to be married by one of the pastors, Valerie Strand along with Katherine's uncle (a former pastor from Iowa), this made for a very personal and memorable ceremony for all involved as the message and vows truly came from a heart felt and personal place.
Next the couple needed to decide on the reception venue. As Brad and Katherine searched for the perfect spot they immediately fell in love with Golden Valley Country Club. Their favorite part of the club was the gorgeous outdoor scenery and brick exterior. And just like that, the venue was booked!
As Katherine dreamt about the big day she envisioned it as an elegant, classy and beautiful affaire. The couple didn't want anything too flashy or bright to take away from the natural beauty of their own love. The colors they chose to embody this feel were navy, gray, soft pinks and hues of cream and white.
Now that the date, church and reception venue were all set in stone it was time to move on to the really good stuff…Katherine's dress! As Katherine tried on gowns at a&bé bridal shop in Minneapolis she fell in love with the dress. The simple fitted gown with soft lace and elegant silk ribbon at the waist fit her perfectly, hugged her curves in all the right places, and captured the exact style she envisioned for the big day.
Katherine knew she wanted her bridesmaids to wear navy dresses but she wasn't set on an exact silhouette or style. She had the ladies choose from the same designer and collection that offered various style options for tops. Some chose strapless, some a one sided strap and others opted for a classic strapped look. The group had a fun time trying out the different styles at the Wedding Shoppe Inc. in Saint Paul. The men involved in the big day were fitted in timeless gray suits from Combatant Gentlemen.
On June 18th, 2016, after the couple said their "I Do's" and sealed it with a kiss at St. Phillip the Deacon Church the party began at Golden Valley Country Club. The couple shared a first dance to "Then" by Brad Paisly. The guests were served delicious cuisine provided by Golden Valley Country Club that included Tuscan chicken, mushroom risotto, Lake City pork chops, Surly beer and delicious wine! Oh, and did we mention there was a late night Mac 'n Cheese bar, it was a huge hit with all the guests who were working up an appetite as they danced the night away to music from Instant Request DJ Entertainment. Guests also had fun taking pictures in a photo booth provided by VIP Booths, and Katherine and Brad were able to look through the fun photos the very next day in a photo book they were given.

Shifting Preferences: A Threat To Taiwan's Autos Production
Fitch Solutions / Autos / Taiwan / Tue 09 Jul, 2019
We believe the ongoing shift in consumer preferences, especially in developed markets, from traditional passenger vehicles to sports utility vehicles will prompt OEMs based in Taiwan to adapt by ramping up SUV production.
Taiwanese consumers are increasingly turning to the international market in order to fill their growing demand for SUV's, as the local automotive industry fails to supply sufficient SUVs for the local and international demand.
Lastly, Taiwan's primary export markets (Saudi Arabia, the US and Oman) are also increasingly opting for SUVs, which will further add to the pressure on Taiwan's OEMs to make a shift to focus on SUV production.
We believe the ongoing shift in consumer preferences from traditional passenger vehicles (PVs) to sports utility vehicles (SUVs) will prompt original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) based in Taiwan to adapt or face the threat of becoming irrelevant. In 2018 SUV production accounted for about 26.7% of total PV production in Taiwan with the remainder composing of multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) and sedans. We believe this large share of traditional PV production presents a significant downside risk to the longevity of the island's vehicle assembly industry. Currently, our outlook for Taiwan's PV production segment remains relatively downbeat, largely due to the large concentration of traditional vehicle (sedans and MPVs) production that is increasingly falling out of favour of global consumers. We, therefore, forecast PV production in the country to decline by a further 5.6% in 2019 and only manage annual average growth of 1.4% over the remainder of our 2019-2028 forecast period.

We believe that Taiwanese consumers are increasingly turning to the international market in order to fill their growing demand for SUV's, as the local automotive industry fails to supply sufficient SUVs for the local and international demand. As a result, the country's domestic vehicle sales are increasingly comprised of imported vehicles, mostly SUVs. Imported PVs have seen a steep increase in recent years, underscoring our view that automakers based in the island will need to review the models they produce locally to remain competitive (see chart below). In 2010, the total value of PV imports totalled USD2,1bn and in 2018 that figure increased to USD5,6bn, representing a 161% increase over an eight-year period (see chart below). Over the same period, Taiwan's PV production declined by 24.4% from 251,490 units to 190,052 units, highlighting the risks to the long-term sustainability of Taiwan's domestic vehicle production industry.

Taiwan's largest vehicle export markets are also witnessing an increase in demand for SUVs, which has resulted in reduced demand for the island's locally produced vehicles - due to exports being dominated by MPVs and sedans. The island's top three export destinations for vehicles are Saudi Arabia, the US and Oman, representing 24%, 17% and 9%, respectively, of total vehicle exports in 2018 (see chart below). In all three countries, SUVs are increasingly contributing more to total PV sales, further highlighting the need for Taiwanese OEMs to make a shift to focus on SUV production over traditional PVs.
In all three countries, SUV sales are performing well relative to the overall autos markets:
In the US, the share of SUV sales to total sales are expanding, as witnessed in 2018 where SUV sales contributed 48% all new vehicles sold in that year.
In Oman, the 2018 top three bestselling vehicles were SUVs, with further room for growth.
In Saudi Arabia, certain SUV models reported double- and triple-digit sales growth in a declining PV market in the same period.

The meaning of Ramadan and Sawm (Fast)
On June 3, 2016 June 3, 2016 By splendidpearlsIn Fiqh (Jurisprudence)
On the meaning of Ramadan, Imam Raghib al-Asfahani said:
Ramadan is taken from the word ra-ma-da which means 'to burn' or 'that which is intensely or vehemently heated by the sun'. And the word Ramdhā means 'the intense heat of the sun'. [The Arabs used to say about] the sheep that they were 'burned (ramidat) while they were grazing under the scorching heat of the sun to the extent that their livers became damaged (by the intense heat of the sun). Ramadan was named such because it burns the sins of the believers.
[Mufradāt al-Qur'ān]
Imam al-Qurtubi said:
This month was named Ramadan because it burns the sins of people with righteous deeds.
[Tafsīr al-Qurtubī]
On the meaning of Sawm, Ahmad Mayyara said:
Linguistically, the root meaning of the word sawm (fast) is 'to refrain or abstain from'…. Legally (in terms of Shari'ah), sawm (fast) refers to 'refraining from two appetites of the stomach and the private parts for a whole day (from the first light of dawn to sunset) with the (following) intentions:
to come closer to Allah; that is to fast for His sake alone, and
to fulfil the legal obligation; in order to
—a) oppose the desires which are responsible for the two appetites,
—b) bring the nafs – the self – under control,
—c) polish the mirror of the intellect,
—d) take on angelic attributes,
—e) arouse the slave's concern for those who are hungry.

Chronic kidney disease is a condition resulting to a permanent damage to the kidney organs. Located on either side of the spine at the lower back area, the kidneys are bean-shaped organ consisting of nephrons that work as its filtering units. The major function of the kidneys is the removal of the body toxins and waste products from the blood and water circulating in the body. It is capable of filtering about 200 liters of blood per day and it can also process the removal of toxic waste products from about 2 liters of urine. These waste products come from the metabolized foods and other substances like excess by-products of drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Vital minerals needed by the body, such as calcium, potassium, and sodium in the blood, are also regulated by the kidneys.
The kidney filters the waste products and toxic substances from the breakdown of tissues, ingested foods and other harmful substances in the body when they are present at a high level. It can also produce helpful hormones that support the vital functions of the body like calcitrol, which is a form of vitamin D that helps absorbs calcium better for stronger bones, erythropoietin that helps the bone marrow produce sufficient red blood cells and renin that helps the body regulate the blood pressure.
What are the significant effects of chronic kidney disease?
Chronic disease of the kidney can result in the gradual loss of the kidney functions. It may eventually result in permanent kidney damage that happens over the years of injury and damage to the kidneys. The consequences of chronic kidney disease include the body's inability to remove waste, toxic substances and harmful by-products that are regularly filtered by the normal functioning kidneys. Renal insufficiency occurs when there is a mild kidney disease. Overtime, the chronic kidney disease will cause medical conditions like anemia, acidosis, high blood pressure, bone disease and cholesterol problems.
Unfortunately, there is no treatment or cure for chronic kidney disease. Most of the time, the aim of treatment is to halt or slow down the progression of the kidney damage and to prevent complications. It helps to know that preventive measures must be taken against stroke and heart diseases because chronic kidney disease is a known risk factor for these diseases. If one gets an established renal failure, a condition where the kidney is permanently damaged, the treatment option is getting a dialysis that is a form of an artificial kidney treatment.
An early diagnosis of a kidney disease is important to save the remaining functional units of the kidney. Because a kidney disease is a progressive condition, it is important to report to your physician your symptoms immediately. Early treatment of the condition can help prevent the more serious complications of the disease and helps avoid the occurrence of other medical conditions.
Common medical conditions that are associated with kidney disease like diabetes mellitus, heart disease and high blood pressure and cholesterol level should get prompt treatment as well, because they can also induce kidney damage when treatment is not obtained at the early stage of the disease. Lifestyle factors can also increase the risk to kidney disease. This includes avoiding smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, getting enough exercise and eating a healthy diet.
Your physician is the best person to assess your condition and to provide you an accurate diagnosis of your condition. A kidney disease is a serious condition that can be life threatening when prompt treatment is not obtained.

Q: How to send email with UITableView So I'm using this array to display email addresses in a custom table cell
 EmailAddress = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"sample@aths.ac.ae",:@"sample@aths.ac.ae",:@"sample@aths.ac.ae", :@"sample@aths.ac.ae",:@"sample@aths.ac.ae",:@"sample@aths.ac.ae", nil];

and I used this code for my email but I always get a SIGABRT error whenever I press the cell
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{

    MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
    NSArray *toRecipients = [EmailAddress objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    [controller setToRecipients:toRecipients];
    [controller setTitle:@""];
    [controller setSubject:@""];
    [controller setMessageBody:@"" isHTML:NO];

    if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM()==UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
    {
        controller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
    }
    else
    {
        controller.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
    }
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];

}

    - (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error {
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
    NSString *strMailResult;
    switch (result)
    {
        case MFMailComposeResultCancelled:
            strMailResult = NSLocalizedString(@"E-Mail Cancelled",@"");
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultSaved:
            strMailResult = NSLocalizedString(@"E-Mail Saved",@"");
            break;

            strMailResult = NSLocalizedString(@"E-Mail Sent",@"");
            break;
        case MFMailComposeResultFailed:
            strMailResult = NSLocalizedString(@"E-Mail Failed",@"");
            break;
        default:
            strMailResult = NSLocalizedString(@"E-Mail Not Sent",@"");
            break;
    }

    UIAlertView* alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Message",@"") message:strMailResult delegate:self  cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"OK",@"") otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alertView show];
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

but I end up with the error I think the error is from the toRecipient but I dont know how to fix it.

A: One obvious problem is with the following two lines:
NSArray *toRecipients = [EmailAddress objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[controller setToRecipients:toRecipients];

It should be:
NSString *toRecipient = [EmailAddress objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
[controller setToRecipients:@[ toRecipient ]];

since you only get a single recipient value from the EmailAddress array.

Q: Match or Range Find a search string inside a table and return row and column...confused I'm trying to get my head around VBA and the intricacies / similarities to Excel Formula.
The problem I have is how to best find the row and column of a search string inside a table.
If I use the Excel formula:
=MATCH(MyString, Table1[LookupColumn], 0) it works fine.
But how on earth do I do that with:
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match
I have found so many conflicting codes that I'm totally lost for VBA.
I've even tried using Range Find, but I can't get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Something like the following:
Dim myTable As ListObject
Set myTable = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")

Dim theMatch As Variant
theMatch = Application.Match(myString, myTable.ListColumns("LookupColumn").DataBodyRange, 0)
