For the third time this year, I'll take my Gobox on a fieldday today (Wednesday 27 September 2017). It will be a perfect day for this little outing. Not too hot or too cold, and most important, no rain!
I like planning ahead. So I search on Google Maps for a suitable place. And I found one. After packing the car I set off to go to…. West Maassluis. Maassluis is a small village within 20km from my home. (see image below).
Peter (PD2GOG) was interested to see my gobox in action, so he meets me at the chosen field. After packing my trolly (a fishing cart, see the first image of the gallery below), we walked to the site. Just a couple of minutes walking we got there. First inspecting the field, is it really possible there? And yes it was!!
When everything was ready, including starting my generator, I switched on the power to the gobox. Why is that so exciting? Well, I totally rebuild the gobox. I had some power issues, losing power to the Icom while it was (or would like to) transmitting. (I will write an article about this and the complete rebuild). But everything was working as planned.
And then…. I would start making some qso's on 2m and 70cm. But no respond, ehmm.. is there something wrong? When Peter left, we make some contacts when he was back at his car and also one when he was driving near Vlaardingen (app. 10km). So it was working! I think that my dual antenna (Slim Jim) was too low for a good 2m qso.
Then I switched over to HF (Icom 706mkII), because I love the digi-modes (PSK/RTTY, etc) I connected my laptop to the radio. My antenna (Buddipole) was set up for 20m. On 14.070MHz I soon saw (on screen) some qso's going. Then someone (a Finn named Unto, OH6XB) was calling cq, I direct response to that. Doing that I noticed that my power output was low, just 2W instead of the 25W. But I was heard and Unto was coming back for me. So this was also a first for me, 2w PSK, that's QRP, wow!! That's was the only station how had heard me (or at least respond). After some setting tweaking, the radio was now on the 25W. I made many qso's after that. The furthest station was in Asiatic Russia (4500km away).
It was really nice to do this. And a promised me to do this more often.
Since some time I'm working on my mobile setup (GoBox). After some setbacks, I finally finished it mid-August 2016. However such project is never finished.
13th September 2016, I was on a short break and I took the complete setup with me (see the picture on the left). And get it ready for use.
My short break was the north of the Netherlands where it is a lot quieter and has a rural character with large open fields and located close to the Wadden Sea. Which is a preserved nature area. The level of interference (QRM) was significantly less. So much less, that I began to doubt whether my radio was in good working order.
It was quiet although it was beside a road. However, this road wasn't very busy. In the time I was there (nearly 4 hours), I saw maybe 10 to 12 cars.
The highest temperature I saw that day was 33 degrees Celsius (91F) in the shade of my GoBox. But this was the real test if everything would survive!
After and 30 minutes, the whole setup was up and running. Including my generator which provides me of the 230v to run my laptop and GoBox.
I recently bought the Buddipole, this was also its first use. I had some trouble getting the Buddipole to work. Not because it wasn't any good. But it was an operator error. I didn't get any good SWR readings. Everything I did turns out even worse than it was before. Finally, I start reading the manual (I did read it at home, but forgotten the important bit) and quickly discovered that one simple cable was connected wrong. After that, it works like a charm. I change many time from band, without any problem.
I should invest in a good SWR meter, this will help me a lot.
I also get my endfed antenna out, that worked without any adjusting! But the only problem I had with it, was that I didn't have a high tree or something like that. I hang one end to the Buddipole and the other end to a hay bale, so I created a sloper.
I still made 43 QSO's, which were 39 digital (psk and rtty).
So a successful day, The whole setup needs some tweaks to getting it better.

Cereal and Milk, not Chocolate Milk Better for Recovery?
I've harped on the benefits of chocolate milk instead of high priced protein powders in the last few articles.
Because at the end of the day, your body needs food, and how much carbohydrates and protein is up to you.
A bowl of whole-grain cereal is as good as a sports drink for recovery after exercise. New research has shown that the readily available and relatively inexpensive breakfast food is as effective as popular, carbohydrate-based "sports drinks."
Exercise physiologist Lynne Kammer, from The University of Texas at Austin, led a group of researchers who investigated the post-exercise physiological effects of the foods. Kammer and her team studied 12 trained cyclists, 8 male and 4 female. In contrast to many sports nutrition studies, however, the exercise protocol was designed to reflect a typical exercise session. After a warm-up period, the subjects cycled for two hours at a comfortable work rate, rather than the more frequently seen test-to-exhaustion.
"Our goal was to compare whole grain cereal plus milk—which are ordinary foods—and sports drinks, after moderate exercise," said Kammer. "We wanted to understand their relative effects on glycogen repletion and muscle protein synthesis for the average individual. We found that glycogen repletion, or the replenishment of immediate muscle fuel, was just as good after whole grain cereal consumption and that some aspects of protein synthesis were actually better".
"Cereal and non-fat milk are a less expensive option than sports drinks. The milk provides a source of easily digestible and high quality protein, which can promote protein synthesis and training adaptations, making this an attractive recovery option for those who refuel at home".
The researchers concluded that, for amateur athletes and moderately physically active individuals who are trying to keep in shape, popping into the kitchen for a quick bowl of whole-grain cereal with a splash of skimmed milk may be a smarter move than investing in a high-priced sports drink.
Kammer and her colleagues are scientists in the College of Education's Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. This study was supported by General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition.

This article is part two out of two in a series for Turning Back the Pages, by Colleen Palumbo. Read last week's article in the newspaper or online at www.thegoldenstar.net to get the full story.
A recap from last week: Johannah was not about to see her husband hanged and she appealed to their family friend and local constable Jim Hodgins. They began a petition asking for clemency. It worked and Donnolly's sentence was reduced to seven years in prison.
Although her hands were full with her husband in prison and eight children of her own, James Carroll asked his wife to care for Billy Farrell, the son of the man he was imprisoned for killing. With James in prison things were quiet for a time. That is until William Donnolly started a stage line in direct competition to one that already existed.
Fights broke out all over, barns were burned, stages and animals destroyed. The whole situation in Lucan was about ready to burst, and while they had no proof to back them up, many people were sure that the Donnolly family was responsible for the problems that were erupting. In the winter of 1875 a vigilante committee was formed, headed by Patrick Breen who was determined to bring the family to justice.
A private detective was hired and soon they believed they had enough evidence to arrest five of the seven Donnolly brothers on charges from arson to murder. Evidently, the jury didn't think the evidence in the case that strong because in the end, only three of the brothers got time. William received nine months for assault; James got nine months for arson and assault and John was sentenced to three months on a similar charge.
On March 18, 1878, an attempt was made on the life of police chief, Sam Everett. He arrested Robert Donnolly for the crime and the young man was sentenced to two years in prison. This was not what the vigilante committee had in mind at the start, so after about a year, when Everett had not succeeded in putting any more of the Donnolly's away, he was fired and James Carroll was hired to take his place. He immediately brought his strong arm tactics against the Donnolly's.
In a bar fight on December 9, 1879 Michael was stabbed to death, many miles from his home. On January 15, 1880, the barns of Patrick Ryder were torched and although Johannah and the boys were away from home at the time, James Carroll had a warrant sworn out for the two elder Donnolly's. A hearing was set for February 3, 1880.
Believing that he would be away from home for most of the day to attend hearings, James brought home Johnny O'Connor to do the farm chores while he was away. They were asleep at 10 p.m. when James Feehley stopped in for a brief visit. Stating that it was hot out he asked if he could leave his coat on a hook inside the door. If they left the door unlocked he could quietly pick it up on his way home.
The family was fast asleep at 1:30 a.m. when Cst. James Carroll let himself in through the unlocked door. Carroll went immediately to the bedroom and dragged Tom Donnolly off the bed and handcuffed him.
He was eventually joined by the elder Donnolly's, Johanna, Bridget, and the neighbour boy Johnny. Carroll then called in other members of the group who were waiting outside. They dragged Bridget to the kitchen, beating her to death there. Tom put up a fight, but was eventually overpowered, and the swing of a spade in the dark decapitated him in the front yard. His body was dragged back into the house to lay beside those of this parents, James and Johanna, who had been shot to death by James Carroll. The vigilante's set fire to the house and rode off into the night.
John Donnolly was staying at the home of his brother William and his wife Nora, and it was here that they struck next. Upon hearing a voice outside, John rose and opened the door. He was shot squarely in the chest. Strangely enough, the vigilantes then rode away. Maybe they thought they had killed the man of the house, but William was able to look out the window and recognized the leader James Carroll.
Once morning came, Chief Williams of London was sent for and an inquiry began. On the word of the eyewitnesses, Johnny O'Connor, William Donnolly and others, warrants were sworn for 10 men. James Carroll among them.
Throughout the trial 93 witnesses were called, and late on Saturday night, five full days after the trial began, the foreman returned to tell the court that they were hopelessly deadlocked and a new trial was ordered. The second trial had two judges on the bench and after another five day trial, the men were found not guilty. It seems impossible that they could find James Carroll not guilty when eyewitnesses watched him raise his gun and shoot James Donnolly but fear is an amazing motivator.
It wasn't long until all the murderers moved from the area, and many were never heard of again. Not so James Carroll: he moved here. We do have records kept by a store merchant in Donald in 1887 that James Carroll was a regular customer, who often purchased large shipments for the general store he ran in Rogers Pass.
He never missed a dance held in Donald and was considered quite a good dancer. It appeared also that he was highly respected by all he had contact with and he never missed an opportunity to present himself for jury duty. He was still in business in Rogers Pass in 1897 but then we lose him for a few years.
He turns up in Golden in 1911, working as a handyman in the Queens Hotel and now we have evidence to show he homesteaded property near Beavermouth, B.C.
This man, who was responsible for one of the worst mass murders in Canada's early history, lived in our midst as a respected citizen for at least 28 years. I wonder if the other members of the committee managed as well.

Glad I found you Lazur, what you listening to these days I still recall you turning me onto psychotic waltz...to this day I still think "I remember" as one of the best flute renditions outside "Jethro Tull". Thanks for that one my friend. I like Deviantart because your not just restricted to .svg. Are you gonna become a core member someday? I might.
Thank you! If I can recall King Crimson also has some "catchy flute tunes".
Actually at deviantart svg is not allowed. Needs to be hacked into a zip file but never tried that.
Probably won't become a core member soon. Not using 90% of the site's features and the view statistics don't look promising either for investing in much effort. Don't know how to become a core member or what benefits would it give.
Yea I agree, looks like being a core member don't really give you much in return. This site has to give something significant back to get my dollars. I'm like you I don't use the site that much either except to post pictures and some vector art. Sorry for the delay in replying. Hope everything is going well with you my friend.
I hear ya buddy, I don't know what becoming a core member gets you besides a little circlely star thingy. It may (and I'm not certain) give unlimited upload space and the ability to upload zip files but other than that I couldn't say. So, King Crimson huh. Okay pal, you ain't steered me wrong yet. Headed to Youtube to check it out. I'll let you know. Stay in touch Lazur. I like talking to you.

Adam Levine turned 39 on Sunday, so naturally we wanted to commemorate it by celebrating his better half, Behati Prinsloo!
Prinsloo is a Victoria's Secret model who was born in Namibia. She actually became the first Victoria's Secret PINK contract model before she was 20. Along with this, she walked in nine Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows in a row, from 2007 to 2015, opening two in 2014 and 2015.
Discovered while vacationing in Cape Town, South Africa, Prinsloo began her modeling career as a Prada/Miu Miu exclusive. Her first ad campaign was for Marc by Marc Jacobs and she went on to walk for designers such as Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, Chanel and more.
Prinsloo's activism and philanthropy includes a charity trip and partnership to assist after the 2010 Haitian earthquake. She began dating the lead singer of Maroon 5, Adam Levine, in 2012. The two married in 2014 and have two children.


Prior to living indoors, we all experienced the benefit of clean, fresh outdoor air that had been scrubbed by plants. Now that we live in modern shelters, we use artificial means of filtering our air through heating and cooling systems.
Plants absorb air-polluting organic and inorganic chemicals and biodegrade them into compounds that the plant can use. Each plant species evolved its' own genetic code to make use of the particles in the air to meet its' needs.
A plant study as far back as 1772 showed the benefit of plants for restoring air that was stagnant and low in oxygen from burning candles and from keeping animals. Plants have also been studied for their ability to purify and revitalize air for use by astronauts in space stations and future moon bases.
In a six month study of a plant filled room compared with a room without plants, the levels of airborne microbes and bacteria were 50% higher in the room without plants. Plants in the home also increase humidity, which reduces irritation from dry sinuses, reduces the severity of asthma and also reduces congestion.
The scent of lavender is almost universally described as soothing. Lavender oils have been used for centuries as aromatherapy. Even hospitals are making use of lavender essential oil aromatherapy. In one study, patients who received aromatherapy with lavender reported significantly greater improvement in their mood and perceived levels of anxiety.
Growing lavender indoors can be difficult as the plant requires a very sunny spot. If you have a south-facing window in your house, take advantage and put your lavender plant here. The fresh aroma will lend a sense of calm and reduce any stress that you might feel.
In case of a minor cut or burn, break off a piece of the plant and apply the gooey aloe vera liquid inside the plant leaf to the wound. Aloe gel can also be used on the skin to help with psoriasis, frostbite, and sores caused by the Herpes simplex virus.
This spiky succulent can be kept in the kitchen window. Since it is a succulent, it requires less frequent water but a good amount of sun.
Gerbera daisies are those large, colorful orange or pink daisy blooms found in expensive floral arrangements, but you can have them year-round in your own indoor health garden. Ask your local nursery for a variety of species with different colored blooms to fit your home decor.
If you have pets or children who might accidentally eat plants, please be sure avoid placing poisonous plants where they can easily be reached. You can check your houseplants against this online list of poisonous plants here.

Söldner des Geldes by Peter Beck
August 31, 2013 by ITW
A charred Arab: As a client of a Swiss private bank, he invested globally in critical infrastructures. His shocking death causes the blood pressure to rise, not only in oh-so pretty Switzerland but also in the NSA.
Tom Winter, the bank's head of security, and the attractive Egyptian businesswoman Fatima follow the money through Switzerland, to Egypt, Norway and USA and back into the Swiss Alps. They uncover explosive speculation, and they suddenly go from being hunters to hunted.
Laid-back and taciturn, Tom Winter fights his way through the jungle of intrigue with dry humor. A gripping financial thriller.
An interview with the Swiss first-time author Peter Beck about his astonishingly fast-paced financial thriller featuring a new kind of hero, Tom Winter.
The Swiss are often perceived as being boring. How did you as a born-and-bred Swiss manage to write such a fast-paced thriller?
I write what I like reading myself. I've been reading thrillers in English for years – mainly in the bath. Good entertainment just needs speed and a cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. The readers should get bloody fingernails.
Good entertainment also needs a cool hero. Tom Winter is head of security at a Swiss private bank. So there's lots of material! And there are great villains in the banking world. Behind the picture-perfect scenes, they do business brutally.
Why does the thriller also take place in Egypt, Norway and the USA?
I've been to these places, which is good for getting the ambiance right. Why Egypt? I wanted there to be sparks flying. Winter meets the mysterious Fatima in Cairo and there's a chemistry between them. And Boston is a great city. Wall Street would have been too crude. SÖLDNER DES GELDES is a breathtaking hunt through the global finance jungle. The money moves fast and doesn't respect national borders or laws.
A fair bit of SÖLDNER DES GELDES takes place in Switzerland: the cities of Berne and Zurich, the Lavaux vineyards above Lake Geneva and the Jura mountains. Being Bernese, I set the finale in the beautiful and spectacular Alpine landscape of the Bernese Oberland.
How did you create the character of Tom Winter?
It was a long evolution. The character came to life almost like a claymation figure. I wanted a new kind of hero, not just another police inspector or private detective. He had to be both Swiss and cosmopolitan. And I think the name Winter suits a Swiss character and works well in both German and English. I also wanted Tom Winter to have a lot of freedom in his job, so I could send him all over the world. That's fun. He's almost as free as Jack Reacher.
What was also really important was that Winterhas strong values. He does the right thing and is a man of considered action. Before he acts, he observes carefully and listens well. It says a lot about a person, in real life too, if they listen well.
Tom Winter was born only after I'd sculpted the figure again and again: he's strong, doesn't say much, has a dry sense of humor and secretly longs for intimacy and peace. My test readers have really identified with Tom Winter.
Is Tom Winter based on a real person?
No, he's a creation. But Tom Winter isn't a glorified hero, he's a regular guy with a past. And sometimes even he doesn't know what to do.
Is there anything of yourself in Tom Winter?
Not really. Well, there are two things. The sportiness, for sure. I used to do judo and got the first black belt. And then there are the power struggles he has to contend with in the bank. I've been working in the corporate world for a long time, was an executive board member of a big Swiss company and sat on several non-executive boards. I've come across managers who …..let's just say that their ethical standards would be judged to be below average by the general population.
As for the rest, I'm not sure. You'd have to ask my girlfriend. I guess my sub-conscious has contributed somehow. I've got a PhD in Psychology but I've never worked in clinical psychology.
You're a businessman and a social psychologist, so what made you write a thriller?
I've been reading detective stories since childhood, graduating on to thrillers. After a long day or when I'm on holiday, I just want to switch off. And every now and then, I thought 'I could do that!'.
In the early days of being self-employed, before I had as many mandates as I do now, it seemed like the right time. I just had to do it. And now it's a great feeling to hold a copy of SÖLDNER DES GELDESin my hands.
What research did you do for the book?
I'd visited most of the locations, which helped with the atmospheric descriptions. I used the internet to research some details, like Tom Winter's weapon.
My judo experience of close combat came in handy. And I'm still dealing with office in-fighting in my work as a corporate-culture consultant.
Which authors do you read yourself?
My all-time favorite author is John le Carré. He lived here in Berne for a year, by the way, and there are even scenes set in parts of the city in some of his books. Of course, I've read the usual suspects, starting with our co-president Lee Child.
What do you do when you're not writing?
Well, about a third of my time I'm asleep. To pay my mortgage, I help companies improve their corporate culture. If the culture's right, people will work happily, well and productively. A good boss needs to manage both costs and atmosphere. I'm fortunate enough to be my own boss.
When I have time, I do sport or I read. And every year I try to go on a trip somewhere new. Last year we went to the Azores – you sleep on volcanoes there.
The book begins with a charred Arab. Isn't that a bit racist?
No, I try to write in all shades, without prejudice. All extremism is horrific.
Will there be a sequel? A second Tom Winter thriller?
Maybe. I'm playing around with some ideas. Tom Winter has been well received. You'll find more on the English version of my website: where you'll find the booktrailer (below), excerpts and more.
Peter Beck was born in Berne, Switzerland, in 1966. He studied Psychology, Economics and Philosophy, where he also gained a doctorate in Action Psychology. He went on to do an MBA at Manchester Business School.
He has a black belt in judo, was an executive board member of a large Swiss company and sat on several non-executive boards.
Peter Beck lives in Berne with his English girlfriend. Today he is his own boss and supports businesses in shaping their corporate culture.

California county wants drug makers to pay for pill disposal - Reuters UK
By Ronnie Cohen
OAKLAND, California | Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:43pm BST
OAKLAND, California (Reuters) - Pharmaceutical companies selling drugs in parts of the San Francisco Bay area would be required to submit plans for incinerating or safely disposing of unused medication under a plan advanced by county officials this week.
The measure, billed by supporters as the first of its kind in the United States, is designed to force pharmaceutical companies to bear the cost of collecting and safely discarding unused prescription drugs that might otherwise foul waterways or fall into the hands of substance abusers.
Officials in Alameda County, encompassing the Bay area cities of Oakland and Berkeley, gave preliminary approval on Tuesday to the measure. Representatives of two biomedical industry groups have criticized the proposal.
"This could be a model throughout the country," County Supervisor Nate Miley said of the proposal.
Alameda County currently operates 21 disposal sites where residents can drop off unused or expired medications. But Bill Pollock, the county's household hazardous-waste program manager, estimates the county's 1.5 million residents still have as much as 681 tons of unwanted drugs stockpiled in medicine cabinets.
The proposed ordinance, which requires a second vote set for later this month, would seek to shift the cost and responsibility for the disposal program to drug manufacturers.
Similar regulations have been enacted in Canada, parts of Europe and Australia, supporters said. Failure to comply could result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 a day and misdemeanor criminal charges punishable by jail time for company executives.
The federal government, which regulates the pharmaceutical industry, posts guidelines urging consumers not to flush old pills down the toilet, citing research showing that prescription drugs are ending up in the nation's water supplies.
GUIDANCE ON DISPOSAL
Public health experts also worry about abuse of cast-off pills. Nearly 21 percent of U.S. high school seniors reported taking someone else's prescription medication, according to the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Overdoses from prescription drugs have surpassed car crashes, heroin and cocaine abuse to become the leading cause of accidental deaths in the country.
Absent pharmaceutical collection programs, federal authorities urge consumers to discard pills in the trash after sealing them in plastic bags with other undesirable substances, such as coffee grounds or kitty litter, to make them less appealing to youngsters.
Representatives of two industry groups acknowledged that traces of pharmaceuticals have been detected in U.S. waterways. But they questioned whether the measure would ease pollution or prevent youths from acquiring drugs.
"Folks have to be their own guardians and stewards of what's in their homes," said Ritchard Engelhardt, vice president of government affairs for Bay Bio, which represents 450 Bay Area life-science research companies.
"We absolutely don't agree that this is going to have a measurable effect on pharmaceuticals in waterways," he said.
Consuelo Hernandez of California Healthcare Institute, a biomedical-industry group, said any regulation should come from the state or federal government.
"I am concerned about the environment, but scientific data shows that the vast majority of pharmaceuticals in water comes from human excretion," Hernandez said.
Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty said he cast his vote in favor of the measure as the parent of a 14-year-old who was invited to a party where kids took random prescription drugs gathered from their homes.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said children regularly steal pills from medicine cabinets. "It's time for these companies to step up and take responsibility," she said.

California city goes bust amid claim of false accounting - msnbc.com
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Officials in San Bernardino, California, scrambled on Wednesday to explain the city's surprise decision to seek bankruptcy protection, with the city attorney backing away from his suggestion that fraudulent accounting may have contributed to the city's problems.
At a late afternoon news conference, City Attorney James Penman, who the day before had told the city council that financial documents had been falsified for years, said: "I do not know if there was criminal intent or not."
Penman added that "evidence of suggested wrongdoing" had been turned over to unnamed government agencies. He declined to elaborate on his comments to the city council.
Mayor Patrick Morris earlier told Reuters that Tuesday night was the first time he had heard of falsified financial information. He said there had been a recent instance in which budget figures were not reconciled with audited financial statements, but said that may have just been "sloppy budgeting analysis."
San Bernardino's city council voted on Tuesday night to file for bankruptcy, marking the third time in recent weeks a city in California opted to seek protection from its creditors. The vote followed a presentation by city staff which said the city would be out of cash within weeks.
The staff report said San Bernardino, a city of about 210,000 residents approximately 65 miles east of Los Angeles, faces a crushing budget deficit of $45 million, which represents almost 38 percent of its general fund budget.
Unlike Stockton and Mammoth Lakes, the two other California cities that filed for bankruptcy recently, San Bernardino had given no advance indications its situation was dire. It is not clear why the city had not proceeded with a state-mandated mediation with creditors ahead of a move toward bankruptcy.
"The suddenness of San Bernardino's bankruptcy vote is troubling when other options were available," Dick Larkin, director of credit analysis at HJ Sims, said in a report.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services downgraded San Bernardino's bond rating on Wednesday to speculative grade from investment grade and placed the rating on its CreditWatch with negative implications for further downgrades.
The city's abrupt action renewed concerns that California could face a tidal wave of local bankruptcies, but the state has so far appeared unaffected by the financial problems of its local cities.
A spokesman for California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said the bankruptcies will not affect the state as it prepares to issue $10 billion in short-term debt in August.
"We expect heavy investor demand for the revenue anticipation notes," said Tom Dressler, a spokesman for treasurer.
HOUSING BUST RIPPLES
Like Stockton, a city of almost 300,000 that filed for bankruptcy protection in June, San Bernardino has seen revenues plummet as a result of the housing meltdown. And like many cities across California, San Bernardino is saddled with expensive union contracts and public employee pension obligations that were agreed upon in flush times and are extraordinarily difficult to modify.
Home building boomed in Stockton and San Bernardino in the early 2000s, boosting the budgets of the blue-collar cities. But by the end of the decade both cities had some of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, and property values and property tax revenues were in a free-fall.
San Bernardino's general fund revenue peaked at $133 million in 2008 and has been dropping since then. In the fiscal year that ended in June, the city had just over $78 million in general fund revenue.
Mammoth Lakes, a ski resort town of about 8,000 residents, last week filed for bankruptcy due to a nearly $43 million legal judgment against it.
By contrast, Stockton and San Bernardino see Chapter 9 as a way to restructure budgets hammered by steep revenue losses after their respective housing markets crashed.
The municipal debt market saw Stockton's problems building, said Marilyn Cohen of fixed-income investment firm Envision Capital Management in Los Angeles: "Everyone who follows the muni market knew Stockton had got itself into a real pickle."
San Bernardino had money problems but they seemed in hand. "There was no reading the tea leaves on this one," Cohen said.
WORSE THAN MESSY BOOKKEEPING?
Bad record-keeping was a factor complicating Stockton's attempts to keep its books in balance, said Marc Levinson, the attorney representing the city in bankruptcy court, and it may turn out that San Bernardino had similar problems - or worse.
"In Stockton we have the problem that the books and records just weren't very good," Levinson said, noting that also was a problem for Vallejo, California. He represented the former Navy town during bankruptcy proceedings from 2008 to 2011.
A report on San Bernardino's budget and financial options to the city council sheds no light on its bookkeeping issues but does stress the city's expenses have outpaced its revenue.
Despite cutting about $10 million a year and 20 percent of its workforce over the past four years, San Bernardino lacks the cash to meet its contractual obligations, the report said.

California drift: Watch drift racer Ken Block drive at breakneck speed through the streets of San Francisco - Daily Mirror
When it comes to producing spectacular footage of race driving, few drivers do it better than American Ken Block.
The extreme sports star, who races a souped-up Ford Fiesta rally car in drift races and rallycross events, has filmed and released a host of stunning highlight videos featuring his exploits behind the wheel.
But his latest effort, the fifth in his "Gymkhana" series, is perhaps the most stunning of all.
Filmed with the co-operation of the city of San Francisco, Block speeds around the streets of the famous California city, tackling specially-constructed stunts along the way.
Rallycross driver extraordinaire: The spectacular Ken Block
Few drivers in the world have the car control that Block has - and this video demonstrates that in living colour.
The video has only been online for 24 hours and it has already attracted over three million views on YouTube.

Tonight on Larry King Live!
LeBron James!
Before his big decision the NBA superstar
went one-on-one with Larry on how he
beat the odds for success and his future!
LeBron James for the hour!
Click here to take our poll: Are you happy with Lebron James' decision to play for the Miami Heat?
Filed under: Sports
Susan July 10th, 2010 3:29 pm ET
Big mistake on Lebron's part!! I am shocked at his decision to leave the midwest for a warmer climate–oh well, HIS LOSS!!
Smith in Oregon July 10th, 2010 3:37 pm ET
As Lebron fires rage across Cleveland where former angry fans were seen burning their Lebron James jerseys, signatures of Lebron James and photos of Lebron James, one has to wonder with all of the horn tooting from Lebron James if he is going to seriously flop after all the hype?
I'm reminded of the biggest mistake a basketball franchise could ever make when the Portland Trailblazers passed on Micheal Jordan for a relatively weak Center whose name is Bowie. Yep, Portland blew off Jordan merely saying they already had several good guards. Bowie as I had felt at the time quickly fell into a semiannual ankle injury cycle which for many centers playing professional basketball is common and nearly impossible to overcome in the sport.
In short and despite all of the manufactured hype, Bowie was a big flop and to make things worse, Portland had passed on selecting (drafting) the best basketball player in the history of professional basketball.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron James or one of the other three starlettes isn't taken out with knee or ankle injury's requiring surgery by opposing team players and then the Miami Heat would falls into just a average team with extraordinary hype which it cannot live up to.
I don't expect Lebron James to live up to his own hype in Miami, and when he flops, I expect him to fall a great distance.
Marshes and Wetlands are natural hedgerows and protectors of the land against tropical storms and hurricanes. Without them, the storm surges and high winds easily push much farther inland with consequently far greater storm and hurricane damage, directly as a result.
Big Oil's dredging for Gas and Oil wells in Louisiana alone has directly resulted in the loss of 2,000 Miles of Louisiana's marshes and wetlands. I have no doubt that greatly influenced the enormous impact Hurricane Katrina had on the levee system surround New Orleans and the resulting disaster that occurred. Yes, Louisiana's Big Oil company's were directly in the middle of that environmental and human disaster as well.
The Louisiana swamp Parish Presidents and Republican Governor Bobby (drill baby drill) Jindal, Haley (Oil Lobbyist) Barbar are now acting like they are eco-friendly while the spotlight is on them. That is in my opinion, extremely far from the truth. They just stood there and received Big Oil royalty's as 2,000 miles of Marshes and Wetlands were previously destroyed and now are complaining about Big OIl's destruction of 20 Miles of Marshes while blaming that on President Obama! That hypocritical psycho babble simply doesn't match their historical environmental records and actions.
msmith July 10th, 2010 9:18 pm ET
I love LeBron, he's a great individual with amazing athletic ability.
That said; He is a young man who has brought hope and enthusiasm to the Cleveland basketball franchise. I understand the disappointment with the fans of Cleveland but he has the choose to look to the future for his career. If he thinks he'll have a better chance in Miami then so be it; however, they won't get past The Lakers. I wish him well and the city of Cleveland.

i live a few blocks from LeBron in Bath. We watched him succeed playing basketball at St. Mary's High School and with the Cavs. The community is sad about his leaving for the Miami Heat, because they loved LeBron and his commitment to Cleveland and Akron. On the other hand, LeBron is only 25 y.o and should play basketball anywhere he choses to do so. I wish LeBron a lot of success and hope that he keeps his family home in Bath, Ohio.Good luck LeBron.

People of Cleveland should respect the decision of Lebron, who has done a lot for the team and the city. One man cannot do it all, the organization has failed in bringing a championship team. It's not the responsibility of Lebron alone. Lebron is just exercising his first amendment right to choose.
Kenny T July 10th, 2010 9:31 pm ET
In as much as I wish Lebron should have stayed in Cleveland, I still think he has based his decisions on strictly business, and best intrest. Which is the same principle that the owners believe in.
Larry Furniss July 10th, 2010 9:35 pm ET
Basketball in particular and sports in general is governed by numerous rules. Ironically, the free agency situation allows the best players in the sport an opportunity to play with other friends due if the cards fall into place.
It would appear that LeBron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh were smart enough to figure this out and made plans accordingly. It would be hard to be too critical of this move since at every other level in sports athletes seldom have this opportunity to play ball with their closest friends. In grade school, someone else selects the team; In high school you are limited to the athletes that attend your school and of course at the college level a scholarship usually determines where you will play and who your team members will be.
In this day and age, it is somewhat refreshing that friendship and a common goal mean something to both the individuals involved as well as the championship ring.
Jeff July 11th, 2010 12:11 am ET
I think LeBron going to Miami is what he needed to do. Over the past 7 years he has proven that he can not lead a team to the championship, nor have his own team. He has cemented his legacy in history as one who will never be as good as MJ, or Magic, or Kobe, or Bird or any of the other greats.
He is going to Dwayne Wades team, he is surrounding himself with superstars to win championships, fully knowing he is incapable of doing this himself with his own team. It was the same with KG...
Honestly, I think that in a few years he will win championships, but we will just look at Le Bron and say "yeah, he's good, nowhere near as good as MJ, or Kobe, or the other greats, but he was good". He couldn't close a game because he always disappeared at the end, but he was good.

Greetings Larry King and CNN's LKL Staff.
I've heard several reputable scientists that clearly state that a single Quart of Motor Oil can poison 250,000 Gallons of seawater to the point that no aquatic life can live in it.
That would place aquatic life toxicity for 1 Gallon of Crude Oil enough to poison 1 Million Gallons of Seawater to the point that 1 Million Gallons would not support sea life.
CNN LKL Staffers, the US Navy knows the actual spec's on the very small amount of Motor Oil it takes to completely foul the entire ship's fresh drinking water supply. If I recall, it is a very small amount.
Could CNN look into the exact figures? I believe the CNN audience would be amazed by how toxic Oil is when even a tiny amount is dumped into the water on aquatic life and on drinking water.
Carolyn July 11th, 2010 12:47 am ET
Lebro did what almost every adult in this country has done. He changed jobs and relocated. The people who are angry are concerned about their finances. Not his life or his goals. I support hid decision as I would anyone elses who is trying to increase their chances for fulfillment
pachine July 11th, 2010 1:18 am ET
I am a Cleveland fan and have no issues with LeBron moving on, it is his right. But it is how he did it by glorifying himself with the charade he pulled. A team is more then one person and in sports a team is nothing without the fans. Yes we have endured a lot as Cleveland fans but it was just wrong how it was done to us the fans. He will no longer be welcome in Akron or Cleveland and that is a sad way to go out. I agree that he is a coward to not stay and make a legacy like Jordan. Now he just rides coat tails of others. Guess he is not as good as I believed he was since he needs the help of other great players just to get the ring as fast as possible. I feel in the years to come he will know it was a very bad decision cause he sold his soul to the devil. I am sure he will question and dream of what could of been, could he really been a superstar and the king with out taking the cowards path.
Luis July 11th, 2010 3:08 am ET
give credits who deserved, I think that Pat Riley is a genious, he is the mastermind in this, he always has done it, I'm glad for Miami heat is going to be an interesting and very competitive series this year. even though they are young but they have the expertise of a champion, mr. riley!!
HRM July 11th, 2010 3:48 am ET
I think LeBorn James did what everyone in the world whould do. Changing a job and getting a higher position is what we desire. Same as LeBorn, he just want to win games and get champion. Boston could have Kevin, Allen, Paul; why Miami can't have James, Wade and Bosh. I believe there will be a nice competition between Boston and Miami for the coming season.
Pastor Marc Rouse July 11th, 2010 6:28 am ET
Lebron did what almost every adult in this world has done. He's changed jobs and relocated. The people who are angry because of his decision our concerned only about themselves and not his life or his goals and the dreams that this young man had as a kid,and I support his decision as I would anyone elses who is trying to fulfill a vision or dream.
Lebron follow your destiny and fulfill your dreams because you are a man of wisdom and desire!
Chris July 11th, 2010 6:38 am ET
What happened to the days of stiff competition. Magic, Bird and MJ would have never formed an alliance, their mindset was all about beating the best not joining the best. If the Miami Heat win championships now, the NBA community will not be impressed. Don't tell me it's not about money; as far as the Miami Heat organization is concerned that's all it's about. We have become a very soft people, we don't like to compete we just like to win.
anonymous July 11th, 2010 10:46 am ET
Great choice Lebron i think u will win many titles.
joanna July 11th, 2010 3:54 pm ET
I have had the privledge of watching Lebron and all the other talented young players in the past 7 years. He has seen first hand how they treat players who leave and are traded – never was there ever any loyalty for the other players, coaches and general managers (all good men) from the organization – it was business. Shame on Cleveland for not realizing that the day would come he would want to leave (home) and show some class by just wishing him well. Not only did the fans have exciting winning seasons, but he also was entertained them. He gave his 110%. People rarely leave somewhere they are actually happy and I would guess from Mr. Gilberts letter he probably and the so called loyal fans let Lebron know on a regular basis how he lost them their "ring". Would you really warn someone you were planning on leaving a bad and toxic relationship ahead – of course not!!
Lucy July 11th, 2010 4:54 pm ET
LeBron James is a talented and seemingly very nice young guy. I think he was very ill-served by those who advised him on the ESPN announcement.
While the Cleveland fans would never be pleased by his decision to leave, I think a more modest announcement from Cleveland or Akron in which he began by thanking and acknowledging his Ohio fans would have served him and them better.
Dusty July 12th, 2010 12:29 pm ET
LeBron who! So very sad today it all comes down to the dollar and not the fans who supported you through thick and thin? I could care less since I prefer college basketball and there is no dedication anymore to much of anything in this day and times of GREED? Cleveland will survive and there will be someday an even better player then LeBron. Be great if we gave this same praise and attention to our military and how they protect us all around the world and so a player like a LeBron can be made famous over being able to play great basketball, which is more important today people our being safe in this world or who wins the NBA?
Klynn July 12th, 2010 2:27 pm ET
I am not a sports fan, so I don't have ties to any team. I think it's really crazy to listen to a lot of the comments that are being made by some people. At the end of the day LeBron is just like any other business man. He do his time and when he feel he has contributed all he can to that organization, he moves on to the next and that's what he has done. At the end of the day, it's all about business, who can make the most money. Whether it's owners, players or the city. It's about the all mighty dollar. No city, team, organization or anything else should put its hopes in one individual. He's just a man, not God. Get over it people, there is life after LeBron. How about the city government of Cleveland do what it's suppose to do to revitalize the city. It's not LeBron's responsibility.
Paula July 13th, 2010 1:37 am ET

Authors: Daniel M. Quaye, Isaac Mensah.
The extent of association and complementarity in improving competitive advantage of industrial cluster cannot be underestimated. This paper explored the competitive advantage of micro-firms in a cluster on the basis that firms in a cluster derive essential benefits that those outside do not enjoy. The paper proposed that factors of product, horizontal networking and innovation increase competitive advantage. Based on a convenient sample of 249 wood operators in a cluster (Ayifua Wood Village) our result supports that horizontal networking and innovation enhances competitive advantage, while access to factors of production was not supported. The paper concludes and recommends that micro-firms in a cluster must "unlearn" their idiosyncratic approach to business, open-up, share information, knowledge and develop strong networks in the cluster to bolster their competitive edge. The paper contributes to literature by adopting competitive advantage as a composite measure, contrary to what exist in previous studies.

Global Patent Filing
National Phase Filings
Paris Convention Filings
Patent Translations
Renewal & Validation
Filing Patent in the US from India
PCT Filing
With the increase in the patent application filing in foreign countries from India, it becomes important to understand the procedure associated with foreign filing, United States has always been a major destination for investors and it is no doubt that Indian invests hugely in the US. The procedure for the foreign filing is simple and effective and it must be understood by the applicant who is going for the filing in foreign countries.
What law says?
The Indian Patent Act is not silent on this aspect. The act speaks about the filing of patent applications internationally. Section 39 of the patent act says
- Residents not to apply for patents outside India without prior permission. -
(1) No person resident in India shall, except under the authority of a written permit sought in the manner prescribed and granted by or on behalf of the Controller, make or cause to be made any application outside India for the grant of a patent for an invention unless-
(a) an application for a patent for the same invention has been made in India, not less than six weeks before the application outside India; and
(b) either no direction has been given under sub-section (1) of section 35 concerning the application in India, or all such directions have been revoked.
(2) The Controller shall dispose of every such application within such period as may be prescribed: Provided that if the invention is relevant for defense purpose or atomic energy, the Controller shall not grant permit without the prior consent of the Central Government.
(3) This section shall not apply in relation to an invention for which an application for protection has first been filed in a country outside India by a person resident outside India
[Image Source: uspto.gov]
Foreign Filing License
Foreign Filing License (FFL) is the permission being granted by the Indian Patent Office (IPO) to the resident of India for applying outside. The general requirement of the abovementioned section is only with regards to the person who makes the patent application or causes another to make the application as a resident of India. The act does not define the term 'resident' but the same can be found from other legislation preferably the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961. Therefore, the primary crux is on the residential status and not with the nationality per se.
The reasons for filing a patent in a foreign country can be many. The IPO seeking the prior approval of the patent applicant before going for foreign filing can be attributed to the reason for the protection of national security. The invention perhaps might not be patentable, in India, due to which the applicant might feel the need to file the same in a foreign jurisdiction. Low potential in the Indian market, due to which the patent might lack in the industrial applicability condition, can also be a reason for the filing in the foreign country. Another probable reason is due to the global coordination which has helped to develop the invention.
As per the provision of section 39, the IPO can provide approval to the applicant if it fulfills all the requirements mentioned. As stated, the controller can dispose of all the applications but will not dispose of the application concerning the atomic energy or defense purpose if the central government has not provided prior approval. Please note that the applicability of the section will only be there if the applicant is a resident of India, otherwise not. For the sake of more clarity, it is pertinent to discuss Rule 71 here.
Rule 71 states
(1) The request for permission for making a patent application outside India shall be made in Form 25.
(2) The Controller shall dispose of the request made under sub-rule (1) within a period of twenty-one days from the date of filing of such request: Provided that in case of inventions relating to defense or atomic energy, the period of twenty-one days shall be counted from the date of receipt of consent from the Central Government.
Form 25 will be used for the request. It requires a few things:
A description of the invention that sufficiently describes the inventive concept known to the applicant at the time of requesting FFL. Invention title along with drawings (if any) has to be provided.
Form 25- Application for permission for performing patent license outside India.
Declaration of the invention, along with the foreign filing license (FFL) form.
Name and address of inventors who are residents in India.
Name and addresses of the assignee, if applicable.
The name of the country or countries in which the patent application is expected to be filed after obtaining the foreign filing license from the Indian patent office.
Power of Attorney from the inventor or the applicant who is resident in India, where a patent attorney is appointed to describe them before the Indian Patent Office.
Form 28- In the event of the applicant is a small entity.

Das Erzbistum Tours (, ) ist ein im Zentrum des Landes gelegenes Erzbistum der römisch-katholischen Kirche in Frankreich. Sitz ist in der Stadt Tours.

Geschichte
Seit dem 3. Jahrhundert ist Tours Bischofssitz. Der Heilige Gatianus wird als erster Bischof von Tours genannt, die Bischofskirche stammte aus dem Jahr 388. Der Heilige Martin, im Jahr 372 zum dritten Bischof geweiht, ließ die Gebeine des Heiligen Gatianus in diese Kirche überführen. Tours wurde im 5. Jahrhundert zum Metropolitanbistum erhoben. Die Grabstätte des Heiligen Martin wurde seit der Merowingerzeit ebenfalls ein beliebtes Pilgerziel. Im 6. Jahrhundert schrieb Bischof Gregor von Tours die Geschichte der Franken in seiner Historia Francorum auf. Er war es auch, der 590 die neue Bischofskirche weihte. Im frühen 12. Jahrhundert entstand eine dritte, romanische Bischofskirche, die aber bereits 1166 ausbrannte. Sie wurde zwar notdürftig restauriert, aber um 1220/1230 wurde mit dem Bau einer neuen Kathedrale begonnen, die über den Vorgängerbauten errichtet wurde. Um 1280 wurden der Chor und die Apsis unter der Leitung von Étienne de Mortagne vollendet, doch schon 1267 waren feierlich die Reliquien des heiligen Mauritius und seiner Gefährten in die Kirche übertragen worden. 1465 wurde der Bau eingewölbt. Der Nord- und Südturm wurden 1509 bzw. 1507 fertiggestellt.

Ein bekannter Erzbischof der frühen Neuzeit war Alessandro Farnese, der gleichzeitig mehrere Bischofsämter innehatte. 1795 wurde während der Französischen Revolution das Bischofsamt nicht besetzt. Erst nach dem Konkordat von 1801 wirkte mit Jean de Dieu Raymond de Boisgelin wieder ein Erzbischof.

Nach Bernard-Nicolas Aubertin wurde im November 2019 Vincent Jordy zum Erzbischof ernannt und am 5. Januar 2020 ins Amt eingeführt.

The TaylorMade M3 irons are designed to give technological advantages to the player who still wants a more refined look.
One of the trends in irons over the last couple years has been better players' irons getting more performance enhancements. With the M3 irons, TaylorMade is offering a similar improvement from the other side: making a game improvement iron better looking. Have they found a happy medium to please all the mid-handicap players? We tested the M3 irons to find out.
From a visual perspective, the TaylorMade M3 irons slot neatly into the game improvement category. The top line is fairly thick, and the sole is average width. Where TaylorMade did very well is in minimizing the appearance of the offset. Even as someone who doesn't like much offset, I found the M3 reasonable at address.
In the bag, the M3 irons have a cleaner look than the M4. They eschew the colorful badge for a black/white/grey color scheme that will age well.
The feel of the M3 irons is very similar to the M4 irons. Well-struck shots feel bouncy off the face and create a muted-but-lively sound.
There's reasonable feedback in these irons but not the pinpoint kind you'll get from a players club. There's a clear difference between hitting it flush and missing the sweet spot, but you'll have a hard time knowing precisely the location of the miss.
Simply put, this means that the TaylorMade M3 irons offer most of the forgiveness that you'll find in the M4. These irons do a very good job retaining ball speed on mishits. Just like the M4, thin shots are particularly good. You will lose a little more launch angle with the M3 compared to the M4 because of the thinner sole, but the performance is still much better than those swings deserve.
It should be pointed out that the lofts are substantially different between the M3 and M4. The M3 irons are 1.5 to 2 degrees weaker throughout the set compared to the M4. They're still quite strong (see full specs below), but only about 1/2 a club stronger than more traditional irons as opposed to a full club stronger. The M3 is plenty long, but most golfers will be longer – at least in the mid irons – with the M4.
Golfers seeking a lot of forgiveness – particularly on thin shots – will be very pleased with the TaylorMade M3 irons. They deliver this without enormous size or hook-producing offset, which should make them more playable for a wider range of players.
How do you feel the forgiveness of these compares to the P790? Overall, for a mid-handicap would the m3 be a better choice?
It's pretty close between the two. I would go toward look and feel preference because my intuition is that there wouldn't be huge differences in the performance.
How would you compare the M3 or M4 to the new Calloway Rogue irons?
The standard Rogue is fairly close to the M3. Both have impressive forgiveness. Largely comes down to preference for look and feel.

Cape Canaveral Space Force Station er det amerikanske militærs rumaffyringsstation på østkysten. Komplekset ligger på Cape Canaveral i Florida ved siden af NASAs affyringskompleks John F. Kennedy Space Center.

Området blev fra 1949 brugt af militæret til testaffyringer af missiler. Senere blev det stedet hvor det amerikanske rumprogram tog sin begyndelse. Efter stiftelsen af NASA i 1958 fungerede det stadig som affyringsstation for NASA, og de tidlige bemandede rumflyvninger blev afsendt herfra. Senere blev bl.a. rumsonderne Voyager 1 og 2 affyret herfra. Derudover er en lang række satellitter blevet affyret fra centret, som stadig står for afffyringen af Delta IV og Atlas V raketterne.

LA JOLLA (CNS) - The largest segment of the North American monarch butterfly population could be headed toward quasi-extinction over the next couple of decades, according to a study released Monday by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and U.S. Geological Survey.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, found that the number of the orange butterflies that migrate into the area of the U.S. and Canada east of the Rocky Mountains declined by 84 percent between the winter of 1996-97 and the winter of 2014-15. The butterflies spend their winters in central Mexico.
The researchers determined the chance of quasi-extinction -- a point where the numbers become too few to recover a species -- is 11 percent to 57 percent over the next 20 years. According to Scripps Oceanography, remaining members of a species might survive for a short time in such a worst-case circumstance, but the population as a whole will inevitably go extinct.
"Because monarch numbers vary dramatically from year to year depending on weather and other factors, increasing the average population size is the single most important way to provide these iconic butterflies with a much- needed buffer against extinction," said Scripps biologist Brice Semmens, who studies extinction risk in fish and other animal populations.
The World Wildlife Fund Mexico and partners detected a large increase in monarch numbers since last year, but the butterflies might have subsequently been adversely affected by a winter storm. The scientists said a one-year population increase was good news, though higher averages over time are needed to reduce the risk of quasi-extinction.
Since counting butterflies individually is all but impossible, researchers observe the number of acres in Mexico covered by wintering monarch colonies.
According to the researchers, the butterflies filled just over 1 1/2 acres at their lowest point in the winter of 2013-14. The next winter, it was nearly 2.8 acres, and the winter that just ended saw a huge increase to 10 acres.
Officials and scientists in the U.S., Mexico and Canada hope to bump up the population to cover 15 acres by 2020.
The eastern population studied by the researchers is one of two, and the most abundant. The western monarchs stay west of the Rocky Mountains, according to Scripps.


Namibia is ready to get to work, resume the race towards building a better tomorrow. Focus should now be on building, instead of debating, who we are and who we want to be.
Congratulations are in order for all delegates who were elected into office at the congress. The fact that the victories for the main posts were landslides is significant. President Hage Geingob came to office with a huge mandate of 87 percent from across the nation, and now he has secured the ruling party's presidency with nearly 75 percent of the votes from the 768 SWAPO delegates present at congress.
Maturity of democratic, elective politics in Namibia is also a winner as the sixth congress is laid to rest. People sharing the common love of their political party, opposed each other on issues, debated various points and then left matters in the hands of the voters, as is correct. When the smoke cleared, the voters had spoken and chosen a list of legitimate, democratically elected leaders to guide the party along its future pathways.
Reviewing the congress, another round of applause goes to the candidates who stood for election, but were not successful at the ballot box. It must be recognised that they were very successful as vital participants in the expression of democratic choice made by the SWAPO Party members participating in the congress.
It is not easy to stand up for any position or point of view, particularly if that view is not popular or invokes hard debate and disagreements. And yet, democracy demands this. It calls for all of us to speak our points of view and be heard.
Of course, anyone prefers a victory dance rather than a conciliation speech. Nevertheless, when all parties in the race end up dancing together as they share the same overall goals, the festivities can be enjoyed on some level, by all present.
There is a measure of relief in the air from all who were preoccupied or participating in the sixth SWAPO congress. The tidal wave has passed and the damage is manageable. The run-up to the party congress became tense; discussions about the congress dominated many events, venues and programmes, but that is over and the people are free at last!
There are no promises to be made, only those to fulfil. There are no more campaign speeches or rallies to attend, only opportunities to cheer and support the programmes announced by those in the driver's seat of the party.
A strong message from the congress is that SWAPO should not be run with a 'business as usual' mentality. There were many strong points along this line that were made by various speakers, particularly the founding President Dr Sam Nujoma and the former President Hifikepunye Pohamba.
Concerns were raised about the nullifications of elections that were rampant and SWAPO Party constitutional violations occurring in many situations. The party was counselled to make sure the discontent that was on display in the election campaign does not continue or grow. There must be a level playing field within SWAPO and one set of rules for all to follow. Issues brought to light by the election process must now be addressed and rectified.
Supporters of the ruling party now await marching orders to fix whatever may be broken, move on to united positions of national interest and absorb the new faces and new ideas that permeate the Central Committee.
We are acutely aware that many of us are more or less capable than some, but not one of us is more capable than all of us working together. Our strength is in our unity, and our magic is in our diversity.
As comrades have successfully managed to bury the hatchet, as well as the chopping block, and are now laughing together, they should also work together for the common good of our motherland.
We were very encouraged by the speech of party and State President Hage Geingob.
