Haswell — кодове слово для процесорної мікроархітектури, розробленої Intel як наступника мікроархітектури Ivy Bridge. Intel офіційно анонсувала процесори, засновані на цій мікроархітектурі, 4 червня 2013 року в рамках Computex Taipei 2013, а робочий чип Haswell було продемонстровано в 2011 році на Форумі Intel для розробників. З Haswell, який використовує процес 22 нм, Intel також представила малопотужні процесори, призначені для «гібридних» ультрабуків, які можна розпізнати за префіксом «Y». Процесори Intel Core на базі Haswell позначені як 4-те покоління процесорів Core i3, i5 та i7.

Haswell процесори використовуються в поєднанні з чипсетами Intel 8-ї серії чипсетів Intel і 9 серії.

Дизайн

Архітектура Haswell була спеціально розроблена, щоб оптимізувати економію електроенергії і підвищення продуктивності від переходу до FinFET (неплоскою, «3D») транзисторів вдосконаленого 22 нм вузла процесу.

Haswell був запущений в трьох основних формах:

 Настільна версія (Гніздо типу LGA 1150 та нового LGA 2011-v3): Haswell-DT;
 Мобільна/версія для ноутбука PGA сокет: Haswell-MB;
 BGA версія:
 47 В і 57 В TDP класи: Haswell-H (для «All in one» системи, материнські плати форм-фактора Mini-ITX, а також інші формати малої площі.);
 13,5 B і 15 B класів TDP (MCP): Haswell-ULT (Для платформи від Intel Ultrabook);
 10 B TDP класу(SoC): (Для планшетів і деяких реалізацій Ultrabook-класу) Haswell-ULX.

Примітки
 ULT = Ultra Low TDP; ULX = Ultra Low extreme TDP
 Тільки деякі чотириядерні варіанти і BGA R — серії SKU (артикулів) отримали GT3e (Intel Iris Pro 5200) інтегровану графіку. Всі інші моделі мають GT3 (Intel HD 5000 або Intel Iris 5100), GT2 (Intel HD 4200, 4400, 4600, P4600 або P4700) або GT1 (Intel HD Graphics) з інтегрованою графікою . . Див. також Intel HD Graphics для отримання більш докладної інформації.
 У зв'язку з низькими вимогами до потужності планшета і ультрабука платформи, Haswell-ULT і Haswell-ULX доступні тільки в двоядерних конфігураціях. Всі інші версії поставляються як дво- або чотириядерні варіанти.

Продуктивність

У порівнянні з Ivy Bridge
 Приблизно на 8 % вищу продуктивність обробки вектора.
 До 5 % швидше однопоточні обчислення.
 На 6 % швидше багатопоточні обчислення.
 Настільні варіанти Haswell показують на 8-23 % більше потужності під навантаженням, ніж Ivy Bridge.
 Збільшення на 6 % у послідовних обчисленнях процесора.
 До 20 % збільшення продуктивності вбудованого відеоядра в порівнянні з HD 4000 GPU (HD 4600 у Haswell проти HD 4000 в Ivy Bridge).
 Всього підвищення продуктивності в середньому становить близько 3 %.
 Близько 15° тепліше, ніж Ivy Bridge; стали досяжними тактові частоти понад 4.6 ГГц.

Технології

Нові можливості

 Більш широке ядро: четвертий цілочисельний арифметико-логічний пристрій (ALU), третій блок генерації адреси (AGU), друга виконавча гілка юніту, більші буфери, вища пропускна спроможність кеш-пам'яті, покращений зовнішній контролер і , швидше завантаження/збереження пропускної здатності.
 Нові інструкції (HNI, включає в себе Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2), ,  і підтримують ).
 Черга інструкцій декодера, яка містить інструкції після того, як вони були декодовані, більше не статично розподіляє між двома потоками, що кожне ядро може бути обслуговуваним.
 Нові сокети та чипсети:
 LGA 1150 для настільних комп'ютерів, а також rPGA947 і BGA1364 для ринку мобільного зв'язку.
 Z97 (продуктивність) і H97 (головний потік) чипсети для Haswell Refresh і Broadwell, у 2 кварталі 2014 р.
 LGA 2011-v3 з набором мікросхем  для класу ентузіастів настільної платформи Haswell-E.
 Intel  (TSX) для варіанту Haswell-EX. У серпні 2014 року Intel оголосила про те, що помилка є актуальною в реалізації TSX поточних версій Haswell, Haswell-E, Haswell-EP і ранніх Broadwell процесорів, в результаті чого виключили функцію TSX на уражених процесорах за допомогою поновлення мікрокоду.
 Апаратні засоби підтримки графіки для Direct3D 11.1 і OpenGL 4.3.
 DDR4 для ентузіастів і корпоративних/серверних сегментів s і для класу ентузіастів Desktop Platform Haswell-E
 Мінлива базова частота (BCLK), як LGA 2011.
 Чотири версії вбудованого GPU: GT1, GT2, GT3 і GT3e, де GT3 версія має 40 виконавчих блоків (EUS). Попередник Haswell, в Ivy Bridge, має максимум 16 EUs. Версія GT3e з 40 EUs і вбудованої 128 Мб пам'яті DRAM (eDREDRAMAM), називається Crystalwell, доступний тільки на мобільних H-SKUs і настільних (BGA-only) R-артикулів. Фактично, це Edram з кешем Level 4; вона розподіляється динамічно між GPU на кристалі і CPU, і слугує кешем жертв в кеші 3-го рівня процесора.
 Опціональна підтримка технології Thunderbolt і Thunderbolt 2.0
 Повністю інтегрований регулятор напруги (FIVR), таким чином можливе переміщення деяких компонентів з системної плати на процесор.
 Нова просунута система економного споживання енергії; через нові малопотужні C6 і C7 стани сну Haswell, а не всі блоки живлення (PSU) підходять для комп'ютерів з процесорами Haswell.
 37, 47, 57 Вт теплова потужність (TDP) для мобільних процесорів. [
 35, 45, 65, 84, 88, 95 і 130—140 Вт (високого класу, Haswell-E) TDP для настільних процесорів.
 15 Вт TDP процесорів для платформи Ultrabook (мультичиповий пакет як Westmere) призводить до зменшення тепла, що дає можливість ультрабукам бути тоншими, а також легшими, але рівень продуктивності, через це, нижче, ніж у версії 17 Вт.
 Скорочення  (PCH), від 65 нм до 32 нм.

Серверні особливості процесорів

 Варіант Haswell-EP, випущений у вересні 2014 року, який має до 18 ядер і продається як серії Xeon E5-1600 v3 і Xeon E5-2600 v3.
 Варіант Haswell-EX, був випущений в 2015 році, з 18 ядрами і функціонуючою TSX.
 Новий дизайн кешу.
 До 35 МБ загального уніфікованого кешу (кеш останнього рівня, LLC) для Haswell-EP і до 40 МБ для Haswell-EX.
 Гніздо LGA 2011-v3 замінює LGA 2011 для Haswell EP; новий сокет має таке ж число контактів, але закодовані по-різному через електричну несумісність.
 Вже запущений Xeon E3 v3 Haswell отримав оновлення навесні 2014 року, разом з оновленим Intel C220 серії PCH чипсета.
 TDP до 160 Вт для Haswell-EP.
 Моделі Haswell-EP з десятьма і більше ядер підтримує режим роботи кластер на кристалі (COD), дозволяє ЦП використовувати множину колонок ядер і кеш останнього рівня (LLC), щоб логічно розділити на те, що представлено як два NUMA процесорів для операційної системи. Зберігаючи локальні дані і інструкції для «розділу» процесора, який їх обробляє, тому зменшуючи затримку доступу LLC, COD приносить поліпшення продуктивності в NUMA-курсі операційних систем і додатків.

Haswell Refresh

Приблизно в середині 2014 року Intel випустила оновлення Haswell, названий просто Haswell Refresh. У порівнянні з оригінальною Haswell процесорів лінійки, Haswell Refresh процесори пропонують невелике збільшення тактових частот. Процесори Haswell Refresh підтримуються новими чипсетами від Intel 9-ї серії (Z97 і H97, під кодовою назвою Wildcat Point), в той час як материнські плати з чипсетами 8-ї серії (під кодовою назвою Lynx Point), як правило, потребують оновлення BIOS для підтримки процесорів Haswell Refresh.

Процесори під кодовою назвою Devil's Canyon, покриваючи i5 і i7 K-серії SKU, використовують нові і покращені теплопровідні матеріали (T.I.M.), так званий полімер наступного покоління теплопровідних матеріалів (NGPTIM). Це дозволило поліпшити термоінтерфейс, знизити робочу температуру процесора і покращити розгінний потенціал, тому що це було проблематично з введення Ivy Bridge. Інші зміни для процесорів Devil's Canyon включають збільшення TDP до 88 Вт, додаткова розв'язка конденсаторів зроблена, щоб допомогти згладжувати виходи з повністю інтегрованого регулятора напруги (FIVR), а також щоб підтримувати VT-D, який раніше був обмежений не-K-серії SKU. В TSX була ще одна особливість, взята з не-K-серії SKU, до серпня 2014 року, коли оновлення мікрокода виключило TSX через помилки, які була виявлена в його реалізації.

Особливості архітектури
 Можливий повний редизайн архітектури (як NetBurst після P6)
 Техпроцес — 22 нм
 Конструктивне виконання LGA 1150
 Базова кількість ядер — 2 або 4
 Повністю новий дизайн кешу
 Покращені механізми енергозбереження
 Підтримка технології Thunderbolt
 Можливий інтегрований векторний співпроцесор
 Додано інструкції Advanced Vector Extensions 2, зокрема FMA (Fused Multiply Add)
 Розширення команд TSX (: EN: Transactional Synchronization Extensions) для апаратної підтримки транзакційної пам'яті
 Пам'ять eDRAM об'ємом 64 Мбайт (окремий кристал, але загальна упаковка)
 Енергоспоживання на 30 відсотків нижче в порівнянні з аналогами з лінійки Sandy Bridge

В чипі реалізована можливість одночасної роботи з чотирма операндами, що дозволяє за одну інструкцію здійснювати відразу дві операції множення і складання або віднімання.
Мобільні версії Haswell устатковані кешем 4 рівня, який використовується вбудованим графічним ядром для нівелювання впливу низької пропускної здатності системної пам'яті.

Типи процесорів Haswell
З появою Haswell корпорація Intel розділяє свій асортимент на дві групи:
 настільні і мобільні версії;
 спеціальні версії для ультрабуків.

Настільні версії

Процесори четвертого покоління Intel Core для настільних комп'ютерів отримали помітні поліпшення в області автоматичного і ручного розгону: підвищені коефіцієнти для Turbo-режиму, пам'яті і графічного ядра, розширені ліміти на харчування і напругу. Також була додана можливість розгону по частоті системної шини. В результаті, за заявою Intel, процесори середньої ланки Haswell в області розгону відповідають за своїми можливостями моделям Ivy Bridge для ентузіастів (X79 для LGA2011).

Всі процесори використовують інтерфейс DMI 2.0 PCIe 3.0.

Головна відмінність процесорів Core i5 від Core i7 полягає у відсутності HyperThreading (крім Core i5 4570T і 4570TE) і зменшеному обсязі кеш-пам'яті L3.

Настільні процесори серії R оснащені графікою Iris Pro 5200 (GT3e), інші настільні процесори Core i5, Core i7, Core i3 4330 — 4370 мають графічне ядро Intel HD 4600 Graphics (GT2), молодші Core i3 — Intel HD +4400 Graphics, а Pentium і Celeron — Intel HD Graphics.

Більшість процесорів призначені для установки в сокет LGA 1150. Виняток становлять процесори серії R, призначені для сокета BGA1364. Процесори серії Haswell-E встановлюються в сокет LGA 2011-v3.

Значення індексів:
 K — процесори з розблокованим множником.
 S — енергоефективні процесори (65 Вт) з більш низькими частотами в порівнянні з безіндексними моделями.
 T — високоенергоеффективні процесори (35-45 Вт) зі значно нижчими частотами в порівнянні з безіндекснимі моделями .
 R — процесори в корпусі BGA і з більш продуктивною графікою Iris Pro Graphics 5200 (GT3e) .
 X — високопродуктивні процесори, без обмеження на значення множника .

Серверні версії
Всі серверні процесори призначені для сокета LGA 1 150, працюють з шиною DMI 2.0 PCIe 3.0 і підтримують до двох каналів DDR3-1333 / 1600 (ECC).

Перша цифра номера моделі позначає найбільшу підтримувану конфігурацію мульти-роз'єму; Таким чином, моделі E5-26xx v3 підтримують двопроцесорні конфігурації, в той час як v3 E7-48xx і моделі E7-88xx v3 підтримують чотирьох- та восьмипроцесорні конфігурації відповідно. Крім того, моделі E5-16xx / 26xx v3 і v3 / 88xx E7-48xx не мають вбудованого відеоядра.

Значення індексів:
 L — енергоефективні процесори.

Мобільні версії
Мобільні версії процесорів доступні у дво- або чотириядерних конфігураціях, але комплектуються контролером пам'яті, що підтримує тільки DDR3L небудь LPDDR3 DIMM.
 Всі моделі підтримують: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, F16C, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel VT-х, Intel 64, XD біт (реалізація NX біт) і Smart Cache.
 Core i3, i5 і i7 підтримка AVX, AVX2, Bmi1, BMI2, FMA3 і Hyper-Threading (HT).
 Core i3, i5 і i7, окрім підтримки ядра i3-4200M AES-NI.
 Core i5 і i7, крім основного i5-4410E, i5-4402EC, i7-4700EC і i7-4702EC підтримка Turbo Boost 2.0.
 Платформа Controller Hub (PCH), інтегрована в корпус процесора, трохи зменшує кількість використовуваного простору на материнській платі .
 Транзисторів: 1,3 мільйона
 Розмір: 181 мм2

  M  — Мобільний процесор .
  X  — Належність до серії Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition .
  Q  — Чотирьохядерний процесор .
  E  — Наявність варіантів для вбудованих систем .
  U  — Процесори зі зниженим енергоспоживанням для ультрабуків .
  Y  — Процесори з наднизьким енергоспоживанням для ультрабуків .

Вбудовувані версії

Майбутнє
Згідно екстенсивної стратегії фірми Intel, зменшення техпроцесу до 14 нм очікується через рік після початку масового виробництва Haswell. Архітектура матиме назву Broadwell.

Congratulations to Alan Thornton for his nomination in the Alcoa Peel Volunteer of the Year Awards!
The awards night was held on December 5th on the foreshore in Mandurah and was attended by community groups, volunteers, community members, Mandurah Mayor Rhys Williams and the Hon David Templeman MLA. The night was hosted by the Peel Volunteer Resource Centre who also celebrated their 25 year anniversary. We were lucky enough to hear about the amazing contribution of so many people make to support those in need in the Peel region, including volunteers from Alcoa, Hotham Valley Railway, Mum's Cottage, Fibro & Us and many more.
Well done to Mr T for his nomination and thank you for your wonderful contribution!


When a patient is diagnosed with dementia, it impacts not only the patient but also those who care for them. It can be devastating to watch loved ones lose the independence, personality, and abilities that once defined them, knowing there is no cure. How should Christians respond to a diagnosis of dementia?
Experienced geriatrician Dr. John Dunlop wants to transform the way we view dementia—showing us how God can be honored through such a tragedy as we respect the inherent dignity of all humans made in the image of God. Sharing stories from decades of experience with dementia patients, Dunlop provides readers, particularly caregivers, with a biblical lens through which to understand the experience and challenge of this life-altering disease. Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia will help you see God's purposes as you love and care for those with dementia.
"Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia is a remarkably helpful book on the increasingly common phenomenon of dementia. Growing out of his medical practice as a geriatric physician and his experience as a caregiver for his parents, both of whom suffered from dementia, John Dunlop writes for those who struggle with this disease themselves, for caregivers, and for members of the body of Christ eager to lean in and love well in these difficult circumstances. This book ably and understandably covers the waterfront medically, theologically, practically, and experientially. Combining compassionate kindness, sober realism, appropriate anguish and lament, and ultimate confidence in God's love and grace, Dunlop both encourages and fortifies those who suffer and those who give care. This book rings true to my own experience with my mother, who suffered from dementia for twenty years. May this much-needed resource be used widely and mightily in the days ahead."

Blue and White to vote to disperse Knesset today as elections loom
Netanyahu urges Gantz to keep government together, claiming that unity is needed to fight the coronavirus and save the economy.
By GIL HOFFMAN
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz announces that he will be supporting opposition leader Yair Lapid's Knesset dispersal bill, Tuesday, December 1st, 2020.

Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz announced at Ramat Gan's Kfar Hamaccabiah Hotel on Tuesday night that his Blue and White faction will support opposition leader Yair Lapid's Knesset dispersal bill when it comes to a vote in the plenum on Wednesday, but he still left open the possibility that early elections could be avoided.
Gantz said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "promised unity and that there would not be tricks and shticks." He lamented that "Netanyahu broke his promises and the people are paying the price."
"Netanyahu did not lie to me," he said. "He lied to you. Netanyahu did not mislead me. He misled all citizens of Israel."
The Blue and White leader warned that Netanyahu is on a personal quest to save himself from his legal problems and that he chose to go to elections by not passing the state budget. But Gantz nevertheless reached out to the prime minister and offered him another chance.
"The election can still be prevented by the person who is causing it," he said, referring to Netanyahu. "If you act properly, without political maneuvers, millions of Israelis will not have to go to the polls for a fourth time in March."
Netanyahu preempted Gantz's press conference with a video urging him to keep the current government together.
"Unfortunately, Blue and White is being dragged by [opposition leaders Yair] Lapid and [Naftali] Bennett," Netanyahu said. "Lapid and Bennett don't care if we go to elections in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. That is their personal interest.
"Even though Blue and White formed a government within our government, acted against it and broke coalition agreements, I ask them to set it all aside," the prime minister said. "Benny, what has to be done now is a U-turn from politics for the citizens of Israel. That is what needs to be done, and I ask you to do that."
Speaking earlier on a visit to the Coronavirus Enforcement Authority, Netanyahu told reporters that efforts are being made constantly to prevent elections.
"We will vote against dispersing the Knesset and for unity," Netanyahu said. "I call upon Benny Gantz to pursue unity with us and prevent dispersing the Knesset. We don't need elections now."
Netanyahu accused Blue and White of violating the coalition agreement by moving forward with the appointment of Haifa District prosecutor Amit Aisman as the new state prosecutor. The post was only supposed to be filled in conjunction with Likud, along with the appointment of a new state police chief.
The Knesset dispersal bill is only being brought in a preliminary reading. It would still have to pass three more times in the Knesset plenum and three times in the Knesset House Committee to become law. It may not pass into law by the December 23 deadline to pass the 2020 state budget, when the Knesset would be dispersed automatically.
Coalition Chairman Miki Zohar told KAN Radio on Tuesday that even if Blue and White votes for the preliminary reading, he would ask Netanyahu to negotiate with Gantz and keep the government together, because it is not right to go to elections until after the coronavirus crisis ends.
Labor Party ministers Amir Peretz and Itzik Shmuli announced early Tuesday that they would vote in favor of dispersing the Knesset.
"It is not possible to continue to have a government whose most permanent aspect is uncertainty, especially regarding the budget that has been taken captive by the prime minister due to personal considerations," they said in a joint statement. "Instead of constant paralysis and an exchange of accusations, it is better to dissolve the Knesset and go to the polls now."
Ra'am, the United Arab List of MK Mansour Abbas, announced on Tuesday evening that its four MKs in the Joint List are undecided on how to vote.
"We will act to help our constituents, not to help the Left or Right, Lapid, Gantz, Netanyahu or Bennett."
Without the four Ra'am MKs, no more than 62 MKs will vote for the Knesset dispersal bill. The bill does not need an absolute majority for its preliminary reading but it would for its final reading.

Dehumanize without worrying, racism gives votes
Post author By laipo
Chronicle by Cielo, a migrant activist belonging to the Rebellion for Global Justice commission:
"Racial justice" is a term that I reject as incorrect: to accept it would be to admit that there are races and, therefore, that it is necessary to look at the scale at which each one occupies humanity. I am not going to collaborate with that farce. I am an anti-racist, and races are an invention of those who want to justify the racism and oppression that they inflict on other human beings.
Racism/classism tends to ally itself with religious racists to "rule" (suffer in silence in this life to reach paradise in the next … Obey the one who has power, because that power comes from God). Really? This is what they recently inferred by cynically showing the Bible in their hands: Trump; Jeaninne Añez and the "macho" Camacho in his coup of nov. 2019 in Bolivia. Earlier there, during the dictatorship of General García Mesa, the Unification Church of the Korean multimillionaire Sun Myung Moon acted, supporting Camacho —He sent A. Betancourt on his behalf to Bolivia—capturing, washing, kidnapping minds and spirits of right-wing families, achieving racist cadres, rulers of the people. Bolsonaro depends on an evangelical church; Evangelical-racist churches increasingly influence Latin American governments.
And what remains for us, when we can no longer breathe, other than liberating and empowering protest? Let's look at history: from the peoples that the Bible recounts, passing through the French Revolution, that of October 1917, that of Gandhi's India, China, African peoples… . Palestine was an English "protectorate". It was handed over to Zionists who now intend to annex Gaza, concealing that in this way they guarantee the privileges of our exploiters, extractivists who coincidentally have been and, even today, are the supremacists—whites in most cases—with arguments of "people chosen by God": to dominate and oppress others? They do not differ from Hitler and Fascist theories or, more recently, with slogans such as "a great country", or "America 1st." Sounds familiar? Are they really appeals to justice, to equality? No, they are manipulative phrases of minds and spirits, awakeners of our supremacist monster, ergo racism. Therefore, although the racism of white supremacists is the one that dominates the world, other elites try to copy it to obtain followers and maintain and expand privileges (those of the elite in the first place, leaving the crumbs for others … and misery for the "strangers" who are not "ours").
You have to be brave against the abuse of power; silence only perpetuates the situation of injustice. As Edmund Burke said: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."
There are no races. All human beings make up the species. Science confirms that Homo sapiens migrated from Africa to the whole world. This is the essence of our humanity: migration in search of survival.

Pakistan continues to support cross-border terrorism taking advantage of COVID-19 pandemic: India at UN
Written by Epilogue on 3rd November 2020
More in World:
Bhutan PM congratulates India for launch of vaccination drive against COVID-19 16th January 2021
Brazil prepares to bring 2 million Covid-19 vaccine doses from India 15th January 2021
India, Arab League vow to cooperate against terrorism, ensure freedom of navigation, maritime security 13th January 2021
India on Monday took on Pakistan regarding the issue of cross-border terrorism at the United Nations, saying that the world has come to a standstill due to the COVID-19, but Pakistan has continued to "support cross-border terrorism" taking "advantage of the pandemic".
Speaking at the Interactive Dialogue with Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, and other related intolerance, Indian diplomat Ashish Sharma, said, "While the world has come to a standstill due to the pandemic, but Pakistan has only enhanced support to cross-border terrorism taking advantage of the pandemic."
"Pakistan has resorted to unbridled hate speech trying to foment violence and intolerance in our country. The hate speech by Pakistan is not merely directed towards one community in India but also against organisations, individuals and even against high ranking political leaders," he said.
The Indian diplomat also said that Pakistan is trying to create divisions among the religious communities as well. "Fortunately, their provocation is falling on deaf ears since India has had a tradition of pluralism and co-existence where all communities live in harmony under a democratic framework," he added.
Furthermore, the Indian envoy called on Pakistan to practice co-existence in their own country and eschew all sectarian violence, discrimination, and intolerance against their own people.
"Today, the world is confronted not only by the challenge of tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the challenge of 'infodemic' which in many cases has been responsible for rise in hate speech and seeding hatred within communities," Sharma said.
He also said that this year in June, India along with 12 countries co-sponsored the Cross-Regional Statement on "Infodemic" in the Context of COVID-19 – first of its kind statement by the UN Member States to counter the increase in hate speech and misinformation during the pandemic.

As out table of the Top 25 West African firms show, Dangote Cement remains the biggest company in West Africa and is valued at $22.7bn in this year's survey, up from $14.5bn last year. As a result, it is now more than three times as big as its nearest rival, Nigerian Breweries, which saw its market capitalisation fall from $7.7bn to $7.0bn over the same period.
As ever, Nigerian banks dominate our regional table, although it will be interesting to see how they manage the introduction of more testing reserve requirements. The central bank has also instructed lenders to cut the fees and commissions they charge customers. Other Nigerian firms have also enjoyed rising values: the market capitalisation of Nestlé Nigeria has almost tripled over the past two years.
Yet is would be wrong to play up international interest in Nigerian companies too much. The Lagos Stock Market trades less than $900m a month, compared with New York's $12 trillion, so it is a mere dot on the global investment map.
Nigeria should still be the most attractive investment destination on the continent but concerns over the removal of Lamido Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, persistent corruption, the eternal delay in the passage of the Petroleum Investment Bill and slow improvement in most forms of infrastructure continue to shake investor sentiment. Uncertainty over the outcome of next year's Presidential election adds to the doubts.
While the Ghanaian economy continues to grow at a rapid rate and Côte d'Ivoire seeks to claw back the stagnation of the lost decade, there seems little chance of this situation changing. The highest ranked non-Nigerian firm in the table is telecoms provider Sonatel, with market capitalisation of $4.8bn, up from $3.1bn last year. Sonatel recorded an 11.1% increase in profits in 2013 to CFA 190bn ($400m), on an 11.3% rise in turnover.
However, the company's finances could be affected by an agreement that it signed with the government of Senegal at the end of March. The country's main telecoms provider, which is part owned by French firm Orange, has pledged to try to halve government telephone costs.
Ecobank and Standard Chartered Bank Ghana are the only companies to challenge the host of Nigerian banks that make it into our regional table. Given its wide geographical reach, Ecobank Transnational is well placed to prosper from growing trade volumes over the coming years. It operates in 32 African countries, more than any other bank, and has drawn up plans to launch in five more. Ecobank Ghana retains the 25th position in our table that it took last year, despite enjoying an increase in market value from $496m to $535m.
More Ghanaian companies are likely to enter our table over the next few years, if – as expected – the country's growing oil revenues trickle down into the rest of the economy.
Oil production continues to be ramped up on Ghana's Jubilee project, while a development plan for the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) project on the Deepwater Tano Area has already been agreed.
It is also hoped that a development plan for the Sankofa and Gye Nyame oil and gas fields on the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) Block can be finalised in the near future. The consortium that controls the venture comprises Eni, Vital and GNPC.
While oil production of 50,000 b/d will be more than welcome, the government is particularly interested in gas production capacity of 160m cubic feet per day, which will be used to supply the Aboadze power plant and hopefully other onshore customers. First production on both TEN and the Eni fields is expected in 2016.
While oil production will boost government revenues and should generate contracts for local firms, gas supplies should enable much stronger industrial investment than the country has seen in the past. The big question is whether it is Ghanaian companies rather than foreign firms that make use of these supplies.

While George Was Calling Donald a 'Bloviating Ignoramus'
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Did I waste my time last Sunday? In the morning, I was reading "The New York Times," acquainting myself with precisely how the rich and famous live. The editors of the Times chose this story for its front page, so I figured they thought it important. It involved the Romney family and someone called Jan Ebeling. It turns out I could have spent my time otherwise.
On Sunday morning, the syndicated columnist George Will appeared on ABC News' "This Week" and, though I failed to watch it, he ruminated over Mitt Romney's fundraising and those donors whom he cultivates. George noted one donor in particular, Donald Trump. He called Trump a "bloviating ignoramus." That was not the end of it. Trump detected George's rude utterance somehow and leapt to Twitter, where he twitted — I presume that is the verb — that "George Will may be the dumbest (and most overrated) political commentator of all time." What an exciting exchange of ideas!
Meanwhile I was lost in the Times' vast explication of the toney life of the Romneys with Ebeling and a cast of what seemed like hundreds of rich people, their lawyers, the horse cardiologists and, of course, their horses. Mrs. Romney's is, by the way, named Super Hit.
Ann Romney, some years ago, took up horseback riding as therapy for multiple sclerosis. That would be bad enough, for these were expensive horses, but it gets worse. She took up a very posh kind of horseback riding called "dressage." At first, I thought dressage involved cross-dressing or something risqu�. After all, the Times's tone was decidedly alarmist. But the story is more troubling still. Dressage is very, very expensive and, as the Times sees it, frivolous. Moreover, the Romneys had become very friendly with this fellow Ebeling, who emigrated here in 1980 from Germany. Since then, Ebeling has become a mentor to the rich and famous and is now trying out for our Olympic team. The horse he plans to ride at the Olympic tryouts is in part owned by Ann Romney, and she and her husband, the Republicans' presumed nominee, have loaned Ebeling and his wife money for their horse farm at which the Romneys take quiet getaways in a "Mediterranean-style guesthouse." Why a Mediterranean-style as opposed to an Igloo-style is left to the imagination.
Well, those getaways will not be quiet any longer. The Times has blown the whistle on the whole sordid deceit, and I anticipate we shall be informed of even more lavish recreations in the months to come. The Times and "The Washington Post" are nothing if not exhaustive and exhausting. Recall, if you will, the Post's extensive piece about Romney's high school bullying of a boy or the rumor of his bullying of a boy, or some Democratic acquaintance's recollection of Romney's bullying or, perhaps, someone else's bullying of the boy who, incidentally, is now dead and whose family objects to the Post's characterization of him.
Frankly, I think I shall stick with "The New York Times." For sheerest boredom, they take all cakes. What of Mitt Romney's other recreations? Doubtless before this election is over, we shall read all about them. We already have heard about how he treated his dog twenty-nine years ago. And then the Romneys have five sons. They may be windsurfers, as Jean-Francois Kerry windsurfed during the 2004 election. They may be bungee-jumpers. Was not Al Gore a bungee-jumper until he developed those multitudinous inner tubes of flesh around his midsection? On one subject I think we shall hear very little — Mitt Romney's drug use as a young man. It is abundantly clear that he did not use drugs, not even caffeine.
On the other hand, President Barack Obama did use drugs. And he actually did bully a fellow high school student, though the student was not a boy. President Obama admits in his memoirs, Dreams from My Father, to having bullied a girl. Where did he get the money to pay for his drugs and why did he bully a girl? I shall never know. I read "The New York Times."

Q: Some confusion on distance formula for physics projectile motion Based on self-study, I have 2 formulas which I see used for calculating distance traveled given time, velocity and acceleration.  One is:
$s(t)=s_0 + v_0t-1/2 g t^2$
and the other is:
$d=v_i t + 1/2 a t^2$
One of these equations has a "+" sign in front of the $1/2at^2 $ and the other has a "-" sign in front of $1/2gt^2$.  Both calculate distance.  Can you help me understand the difference in the 2 equations.  Because of this confusion, it's unclear when to use one equation vs the other.  It would seem I would get difference answers to the same distance question.
For example, a question states that a vehicle traveling at 32mph begins to decelerate at a rate of $3 ft/s^2$.  How far will it travel during the 15.6 seconds it takes to come to a complete stop?
I use the $d=v_it + 1/2at^2$ being careful to correct for mismatched units and to use a $-3$ for the $a$ value.  I get the correct answer of $367$ ft.
If I had used the $s(t)=s_0 + v_0t-1/2 g t^2$ equation I would have gotten a different answer.  I clearly don't understand these 2 distance equations.  Can you assist in clearing up this confusion?

A:

Both equations are the same. What you should see is that they are just differing in the interpretation of you one-dimensional movement.
The first equation is

$$s(t)=s_0 + v_0t-1/2 g t^2$$

This equation is saying that the particle is moving from the initial point $s_0$ to the point $s(t)$ after a time $t$ has passed. The minus sign is saying about the accelerated nature of the motion. If there is a minus then the particle is getting less positive velocity and is getting slower and slower as time goes by. Then what you're getting is that the gravity is pushing the particle as a normal acceleration $a$ but in the opposite direction of the motion.
The other equation is just the above when $g \to -a$ where you get, passing from $g$ to a more general acceleration $a$,

$$s(t) - s_0 := d(t) = v_0 t + 1/2 a t^2$$

Here $d$ stands for 'displacement'. It is the distance traveled by the particle.

Note your example, when you set the minus sign to represent decelerating movement you get the correct answer. This is because mathematically the minus sign is representing the physical meaning of decelerating. The plus sign, in the other case, stands for accelerated movement. So if you have a car that is accelerating (the driver is accelerating the car pressing down the pedal) you'll have a positive acceleration so you should use the formula with a plus.

So will I get the same results?
Only if you use correctly the signs. These equations are the same, the first one only uses gravity as acceleration. The second one is more general, if you are accelerated use $+a$ but if you are decelerated use $-a$ in the second equation. The first equation is just the second one opened and with a minus gravity on it.

Ear training is the act of developing your musical ear in order to be able to quickly interpret what you hear in your head and what you hear in the world. Likewise, ear training will also help you to quickly figure out how to play your favorite songs and will greatly increase your overall musicianship. The following is intended to help you develop your ears and work toward the ultimate goal of mastering your guitar playing.
1. Learn to sing what you play.
You may have heard the old saying "if you can sing it, you can play it." This is absolutely true. Being able to sing what you play reinforces the connection between your brain and your fingers and leads to more accurate guitar playing and faster interpretation of musical passages.
This is an obvious one, but a very important one. Be sure to spend some time each day learning riffs, solos, or songs by ear. Sometimes I like to sit with my guitar while watching TV and try to learn the music I hear during the commercials. It can get pretty challenging!
3. Learn the vocal melodies of your favorite songs.
This is a great ear training exercise and not only develops your musical ear, but can lead to interesting licks and phrasing that you can add to your guitar playing repertoire.
Start by singing a random note. Then try to find that note as quickly as possible on your guitar in as many different octaves as your instrument allows. The idea is to be able to instantly play a pitch as soon as it enters your mind.
5. Learn to identify musical intervals by sound.
This one is a bit more academic, but comes in handy as you increase your knowledge of music theory. For example, being able to hear the difference between a major and a minor 3rd will give you the ability to distinguish between major and minor chords.
These are just a few of the many ways you can develop your musical ear. Remember, a good ear is your best asset as a guitar player. Have fun with it and try to come up with other ways you can work on your ear training.


We're categorizing all things romantic over the next few weeks here on Gadling, focusing on "over-the-top" travel packages that allow you to declare your love in true high style.
While the package is a rather mind-blowing $40,000, it's worth noting that the one-bedroom beachfront suites generally run at about $2,500 a night for these dates, and so the package isn't really that much of a stretch from a regular week's stay.
If you're still looking to go luxe but not break the bank, the three-night "Heart to Heart" package, featuring many of the same amenities in an ocean view guestroom starts at $3,290.

Watch CNN interview Qanon conspiracy theorists at a Trump rally
From the August 2 edition of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360:
ANDERSON COOPER (HOST): At President Trump's rally tonight in Pennsylvania, scattered among the crowd are people who believe in some conspiracy theories that are so broad and often bizarre it's difficult to believe, to put it mildly. It's no longer an isolated thing.
Take a look, the sign with the "Q" on it, stands for QAnon. This video is from the presidential rally in Tampa, two nights ago.
Last night on the broadcast, we focused more closely on what the group believes in and their views from the fringes of American political thought. Tonight, we wanted to give them a chance to have their say.

Rainier cherry
Rainier cherry is an extremely sweet, flavorful, blush colored cherry grown in Washington State. In Oregon, The Northwest's combination of climate and abundant irrigation waters has also helped make this one of the nation's major fruit-growing regions. The Hood River Valley and the Medford area are two of the nation's top pear-growing regions, and just a few miles east of Hood River, around The Dalles, cherries reign supreme, with the blushing Rainier cherry a regional treat rarely seen outside the Northwest. The Willamette Valley, south of Portland, has become the nation's center for the production of berries, including strawberries, raspberries, and numerous varieties of blackberries. All these fruits show up in the summer months at farm stands, making a drive through the Willamette Valley at that time of year a real treat. Pick-your-own farms are also fairly common throughout the Northwest. So famed are Oregon's fruits that the Harry and David's company ships regional produce all over the country
Rickey refers to a cocktail made with gin, soda water and lime juice.

So, how do you describe a delightful weekend… I got to have time with R from Friday evening until Sunday morning! Which was utterly fantastic, though we both agreed that little things kept cropping up to disrupt. We made it through, spent Friday night out at a group meeting together, then stayed over at his place. I had asked for a spanking and tears… but he turns me on so much I just couldn't cry! I have a lovely set of bruises though. No, that's not a complaint. *waggles eyebrows* We wore each other out so much that we slept til nearly 2pm on Saturday. Spent some time visiting with his wife while getting ready to head out again. I am constantly pleased by her understanding and very very glad she understands and accepts my love of and with him.
Met up with a group of his work friends and an old friend of mine from high school Saturday night for drinks and conversation, everyone got fairly rowdy. There's a part of me that worries about making a good impression on his friends. I want him to be proud to have me around.(He tells me I'm being silly, that of course he is proud of me.) D came out too. I love, love, love having them both in the same space with me. I spent way too much money on drinks, since I wasn't driving. They took advantage of me not paying as close attention to their plotting as usual and managed to surprise me. R drove us home, and surprise surprise D was there, waiting for us. We did succeed in making me cry. All other details are not for public consumption. Suffice to say that I had a very good time, and they both agree. D unfortunately wasn't able to stay over, but it was going on 5am before he left and R & I went to sleep.

Wrong forum: On climate change and the UNSC
India's negative vote at the UN Security Council (UNSC) on a draft resolution on climate change is a reflection of its long-held opposition to expanding the UNSC's mandate into areas that are already being dealt with by other multinational fora. The resolution, piloted by Ireland and Niger and which had the support of a majority of the UNSC members, was voted down by India and Russia — it has veto powers — while China abstained. Their position is that the UNSC's primary responsibility is "maintenance of international peace and security" and climate change-related issues are outside its ambit. (Read More)

One Man and his Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
By Paul Jurd
A highlight of the Historic Touring Car Challenge and Tony Dron Trophy race at the weekend's Donington Historic Festival was the win, after losing places early in the race, of the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 of Julian Thomas and Calum Lockie. The car was a true flashback to the heyday of Group A touring car racing in the late 1980s when the potent RS500s were not only the stars of the British Touring Car Championship but also raced internationally, with stories of the RS500s being able to pass F3000 single-seaters down the straights when testing at Silverstone.
Having been a BTCC fan in that period when younger, Thomas was able to acquire an ex-Andy Rouse Engineering RS500, and with the always quick and reliable Lockie sharing the driving duties, showed what the Kaliber-liveried car could do at Donington.
We spoke to Julian as he stepped off the podium and asked about the car:
"I used to follow the BTCC with my dad in the 1980s and loved this car, that is why I was so happy to see it for sale – I sold everything and bought it! I've had it about a year now.
"I sat in it for the first time expecting a race car, and it was just a Ford Sierra! Has the same door panels, wind down windows, and for a moment I thought 'what have I done?' We had done all the research on the car and were even able to get Andy Rouse to look over the car just after I bought it and he confirmed that this was the car he had raced at Silverstone and put on pole etc.
"Guy Edwards raced it more than Andy, but he was in it for at least one race, and we think maybe two. He said that at that time they didn't have a specific car each or nominate one for a set driver, they just took whatever was ready to come out the workshop.
"The first time I drove it was fantastic, I was learning the car and it was a steep learning curve. It is ridiculously fast in a straight line, and that is its strength, but it corners well too, it is very benign. In the race today I hadn't got the tyres quite up to temperature and while defending understeered off at Coppice, but that was just my inexperience, so I got more heat into the tyres and then slowly worked my way back up.
"As long as you are careful with the throttle it is a nice car to drive. The car came with power-steering but we took that off as it wasn't used in period, and it had also acquired a brake servo that shouldn't have been there. The steering gets heavy when you are braking hard and trying to trial the brakes into the corner and the front just wants to push on, you just have to roll off the brakes a little before you turn the wheel.
"It was nice to race some BMW M3s today, just like the car would have done in period. They were really quick in some places and you could see they turned into the slower corners way better, but along the straights I could just say goodbye.
"We are out again with the car at Silverstone in two weeks, then we are doing the Silverstone Classic and a race at Portimao later in the year."

Cy Frank Lectureship 2022
On Wednesday, September 28, Dr. Ewa Roos delivered an inspiring lecture sharing the successes of the GLA:D program with us and answering the question, "Osteoarthritis: Putting science into action – why not now?'. She honoured the memory of Dr. Cy Frank with her encouragement to, "just do it" by applying research to create solutions for patients today.
Speaker: Dr. Ewa Roos, PhD
Professor, The Faculty of Health Sciences
Research Unit of Musculoskeletal Function and Physiotherapy
Lecture title: "Osteoarthritis: Putting science into action – why not now?"
Watch the lecture
Lecture description
The trend in clinical osteoarthritis research over the last 20 years is less focus on the disease osteoarthritis and more focus on the illness osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis has gone from being viewed as a cartilage disease to a whole person disease. Instead of waiting for symptoms and structural changes to be severe enough to warrant a joint replacement, evidence and clinical treatment guidelines recommend early treatment with patient education, exercise therapy and weight loss.
In her lecture, Dr. Roos will share some experiences from implementing early treatment with the GLA:D® program in nine countries on four continents and engage the audience in discussing the future direction of osteoarthritis research, prevention and management.
Dr. Ewa Roos
Dr. Ewa Roos has a passion for advancing the frontiers of knowledge in muscle and joint health to improve the quality of life of those with musculoskeletal disease and to improve health care delivery for these conditions. Her focus is on patient-reported outcomes, exercise therapy, surgical treatments and clinical care pathways.
Dr. Roos is an internationally leading researcher and change agent in the field of musculoskeletal health and she is the author of 275+ peer reviewed publications. She has been able to both produce high-impact clinical research and translate that research into clinical tools that are easily and effectively implemented in hospitals, primary care clinics and even community settings in municipalities.
One of the principal outcomes from her research has been the development of the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D®) project for people with knee and hip pain. The GLA:D® project is an outstanding example of how to successfully implement evidence-based clinical guidelines in primary health care practice and municipalities. Its underlying principles focus on patient education, patient empowerment, exercises and self-management. Since 2013, more than 6000 clinicians have been trained in delivering GLA:D® care to 85,000+ patients, who report remarkable improvements in health in terms of less pain, less disability, consumption of less pain medication, increase in physical activity, reduced sick leave and return to work. Among over 175 applicants from all over the world, GLA:D® won the Value Based Health Care (VBHC) Prize in 2019. The VBHC Prize is an international Prize that recognizes, supports and embraces initiatives that redefine health care.
In 2014, her contribution to public health was recognised when she won the OARSI (Osteoarthritis Research Society International) Clinical Research Award for her "outstanding work in exercise as prevention and treatment of joint pain, joint injury and osteoarthritis". In addition, in 2014, she was awarded the Queen Ingrid of Denmark's prize for outstanding arthritis research by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and the Danish Rheumatism Association.
Remembering Dr. Cy Frank
Dr. Cy Frank, MD, PhD, was an orthopaedic surgeon, scientist, long-time faculty member in the Cumming School of Medicine and one of the founders of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health.

Nothing says delicious like my Tex-Mex Jambalaya. Take this classic dish to the next level my delicious Version of Jambalaya it's sure to impress!
Living in Florida has certainly enhanced our menu options with the wide variety of Regional and Southern cooking available. When I shop I find different cuts of meat, tropical produce and a wealth of Latin ingredients to spice up my dishes!
We still enjoy going out to dinner and experimenting with new restaurants and dishes and recently Lisa and I tried a Louisiana-themed restaurant in Kissimmee and Lisa tried the Jambalaya. While she did enjoy it, I looked at the dish and began thinking about how I could change it to be more what we both expected, keeping with my style of cooking. Not to say the dish was not prepared correctly and wasn't tasty, but I tend to think of things differently and so far it's worked out pretty well!
Needless to say both times I made this dish it met with rave reviews. I love it when no ones speaking at the dinner table because they're too busy eating!
Try my Tex-Mex Jambalaya and bring some smiles to your table.
If you've tried my Tex-Mex Jambalaya recipe or any other recipe on askchefdennis.com please don't forget to rate the recipe and let me know where you found it in the comments below, I love hearing from you!
dredge chicken thighs in flour seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, then place chicken thighs into hot pan, saute on both sides for about 5 minutes on each side.
While the chicken is browning add in chorizo and brown along with the chicken.
Remove chicken and chorizo from the pan and place on platter. These items will be returned to the pan later in the process.
Add in tomatoes and corn and stir well, continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
After simmering stir mixture to make sure all of the ingredients are well blended, then add back the chicken thighs and chorizo.
At this time now add in your shrimp and lobster, cover and continue to simmer for 10-15 more minutes.

I love this. I never would have thought o combine Creole with a little tex mex. It's a wonderful idea! I am looking forward to making this dish.
It was a delicious flavor combination and a great way to have fun in the kitchen!
What a wonderful idea! This sounds great! YUM!
Thanks Minnie, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Well, I can see what's for supper right here! Will be trying this tomorrow, thanks Chef Dennis for a wonderful recipe.
Thank you Charlene, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks Christine, it was really tasty!
What a wonderful combination of all the best flavors! This dish must be as absolutely delicious as it looks. Thanks for sharing both the recipe and video. Hope your week is going great, Chef Dennis!
Thanks Betty Ann! Everything in Florida is going very well, just lovin life!
It's beautiful! I love Jambalaya, but even tho I've lived in the South for over 30 years, I still have not acquired a taste for okra. I may have to substitute another veggie. But I will be trying this recipe very soon. I can almost smell all the wonderful flavors. Oh no, my stomach just growled. Ha!
Thanks Sylvia, I hope you get a chance to try it, and just leave the okra out, you might try subbing some red beans but otherwise it will be okay without the okra.
Just wanted to tell you how awesome it is to have a video to go along with the recipe! Love Tex-Mex and seafood! I know this one would be a winner at our house!
Thank you Marjory, Whenever I have a post from my cooking show, I will have a video to go along with it!
I love this and am going to give it a try. A little intimidating for a beginner like me but I seriously want to give it a shot. Thanks!
its really not as hard as you might think Matt, I'm sure yours will come out fine. Please let me know how you like it!

Capitol Records / Fonograf
And, yes, Beck is back on the dance floor, with his new (digital) single "Dreams" - which is a teaser from his new project, a record also entitled Dreams. At least it is the 'working title'.
Unlike the overall laidback melancholia of last year's album, Morning Phase, "Dreams" shows a more playful, whimsical Beck, with a more softly aggressive, yet whimsically energetic guitar line paired with some deep, rocking beats. It is a swirling, circling song, and it goes: 'Running circles around around around around... / When nothing's right just close your eyes close your eyes and you're gone, and the whole feel is a feelgood track of the love-song kind. 'Dreams Dreams Dreams Dreams / She's making me high, she's making me high'. There is a small part midway through which makes me briefly think of a slightly annoying song from my teenage past: Men At Work's "Down Under". However, this is just a brief glimpse. And I might be totally wrong. "Dreams" is a catchy song which is raising the expectations for Beck's next album move.

Close Guantanamo and Return It to Cuba
By Prof. Marjorie Cohn
TeleSUR 13 November 2015
Region: Latin America & Caribbean
Theme: Crimes against Humanity, Law and Justice
President Obama has the constitutional power to shut down the prison there and return Guantanamo to Cuba.
Obama has yet to fulfill the promise he made in his January 22, 2009 executive order to shutter Guantanamo "no later than one year from the date of this order." Any individuals remaining there at the time of closure, Obama wrote, "shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States."
After threatening to veto the final draft of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) partly because it forbids the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States and tightens barriers to sending them to other countries, Obama caved. A White House spokesperson said Obama would sign the legislation, which passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate. Bernie Sanders was one of three senators to vote against the bill.
Nearly seven years after Obama's promise, 112 men remain at Guantanamo, half of whom have been cleared for release. Obama has released 54 prisoners and is reviewing the cases of others still being held.
In March 2011, Obama designated 46 men to remain in indefinite detention without trial, but promised periodic review of their cases. Arbitrary detention violates the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a treaty the United States has ratified, making it part of U.S. law under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. constitution.
The periodic reviews didn't start until November 2013, spurred by hunger strikes at the prison. The reviews continue to be conducted. As a result of those reviews, 14 additional men were cleared for release and five of them have been released.
In April 2013, Obama said, "I think it is critical for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe . . . It hurts us in terms of our international standing . . . It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed." Yet it remains open.
One of the transfer restrictions required the secretary of defense to notify Congress 30 days before transfer that it would be good for national security. But to avoid being personally responsible if a detainee were to become a terrorist, former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel hesitated to allow transfers. Actually only seven percent of the detainees released during Obama's tenure returned to terrorist activity as compared with 19 percent during Bush's presidency.
Obama is reportedly preparing a plan to speed up transfers of half the remaining Guantanamo prisoners to their home countries or other willing nations. The plan will also set forth new security protocols to prevent detainees from returning to terrorist activities once released.
Military experts are conducting surveys of prisons in the United States for possible transfer of detainees. They include the military prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas; the Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston, South Carolina; and the US supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.
In spite of the NDAA, Obama has the power to close Guantanamo. Former White House counsel Gregory Craig and Cliff Sloan, former special envoy for Guantanamo closure, maintain, "the president does not need Congress's authorization to act." They wrote in the Washington Post, "Under Article II of the Constitution, the president has exclusive authority to determine the facilities in which military detainees are held . . . The determination on where to hold detainees is a tactical judgment at the very core of the president's role as commander in chief."
According to Craig and Sloan, "Congress's purported ban on funding any movement of detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States restricts where 'law-of-war' detainees can be held and prevents the president from discharging his constitutionally assigned function of making tactical military decisions. Accordingly, it violates the separation of powers."
Lt. Col. David Frakt, who has represented Guantanamo detainees before the military commissions and in federal habeas corpus proceedings, concurs. "When the Obama administration really wants to transfer a detainee, they are quite capable of doing so," Frakt wrote in JURIST. He said Obama should direct his attorney general to inform the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that the Department of Justice no longer considers the cleared detainees to be detainable.
Col. Morris Davis, former Chief Prosecutor for the Terrorism Trials at Guantanamo, personally charged Osama bin Laden's driver Salim Hamdan, Australian David Hicks, and Canadian teen Omar Khadr. All three were convicted and have been released from Guantanamo. "There is something fundamentally wrong with a system where not being charged with a war crime keeps you locked away indefinitely and a war crime conviction is your ticket home," Davis wrote to Obama.
Of the 780 men held at Guantanamo since 2002, only eight were tried and convicted of war crimes. Of those, just three remain at Guantanamo.
Many of the detainees reported being assaulted, prolonged shackling, sexual abuse, and threats with dogs. Australian lawyer Richard Bourke, who has represented several Guantanamo detainees, charged they have been subjected to "good old-fashioned torture." Detainees who engage in hunger strikes are subjected to force-feeding, a practice the UN Human Rights Council has called torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. At least seven men have died at the prison camp.
The United States has illegally occupied Guantánamo since 1903, after Cuba's war of independence against Spain. Cuba was forced to include the Platt Amendment in the Cuban constitution. The amendment granted the United States the right to intervene in Cuba as a prerequisite for the withdrawal of US troops from the rest of Cuba. That provision provided the basis for the 1903 Agreement on Coaling and Naval Stations, which gave the United States the right to use Guantánamo Bay "exclusively as coaling or naval stations, and for no other purpose."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a new treaty with Cuba in 1934 that allows the United States to remain in Guantánamo Bay until the US abandons it or until both Cuba and the United States agree to modify their arrangement. According to that treaty, "the stipulations of [the 1903] agreement with regard to the naval station of Guantánamo shall continue in effect." That means Guantánamo Bay can be used for nothing but coaling or naval stations. Article III of the 1934 treaty also says that Cuba leases Guantánamo Bay to the United States "for coaling and naval stations." Nowhere in either treaty did Cuba give the US the right to utilize Guantánamo Bay as a prison camp.
Former Cuban president Fidel Castro has long maintained that Guantanamo is part of Cuba and that the US illegally occupies it. One of Cuban President Raul Castro's requirements for normalization of relations with the United States is the return of Guantanamo to Cuba.
If there is probable cause to believe a detainee committed a crime, he should be sent to the United States for trial in federal court. The remaining detainees should be returned to their countries of origin or third countries if that is not feasible. After shuttering the prison camp, Obama should return Guantanamo Bay to Cuba, its rightful owner.

However, I see nothing after the change has been made. The standard water image has disappeared but instead of being replaced by my .GIF image it's just blank. So it's as though it knows I'm changing it, but can't find the image I want to use.
Thanks for the suggestion. But same thing happens. Blank, no image.

The suggested stitch height for Chicken Wire Panto is 8" - 12".
Chicken Wire Panto was designed by JoAnn Hoffman.
This chicken wire panto was used in the sashing and border. The results were terrific.
Shows vertical in thumbnail, but connects/links on the diagonal. When stitching out it requires you to babysit it to keep pressing continue.
Used the Chickenwire pants on a fox face baby blanket. Really easy and cute!
I bought this to use on a farm themed panel. It is an awesome design and stitched out perfectly. I'll be using this for other projects.
Stitched out smoothly! Cute design!
