On Wednesday January 25, 2012, the World Economic Forum (WEF) was launched in Davos, Switzerland. The WEF lasted for five days and entitled "The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models". The WEF came under the current economic circumstances; as the sovereign debts in Europe and the USA exacerbate, the confidence in the political leaders shakes and the budget deficit of many countries increases.
Moreover, the WEF came in the light of a world economy that suffers from many crises with the continuous world demonstrations and sit-ins that protest against the current capitalist economic system.
The Participants
More than 2600 of the world leaders participated in the WEF from the fields of politic, economy, banks, academic circles and civil society organizations in addition to some lawyers, journalists and 40 States' presidents.
The participants concentrated on:
- The solutions of the political, economic and social problems.
- Finding mechanism for facing the sovereign debts crisis of the European Union countries and the USA.
- Discussing the current and future problems through 4 main axes:
1. The economic growth and combating unemployment.
2. The necessity of engaging the emerging economies and the private sector institutions in facing the challenges globally and regionally.
3. Assuring energy, food and water.
4. Cooperation between the countries to ensure the security of the information and the electronic networks.
- The issues of the Egyptian and Arab economy topped the WEF's agenda in the 1st anniversary of the 25th of January Revolution.
The Egyptian Participation
Egypt's participation in this year in the WEF was different. According to the experts, it was more efficient and more pro-active than it ever was under the ousted Mubarak regime.
Distinguished public figures such as presidential hopefuls Amr Moussa, Abdelmoneim Abulfotuh and Nobel Prize laureate Ahmad Zowail were present alongside a number of key economists and businessmen.
The WEF invited Egypt's Grand Mufti Dr. Ali Gomaa to address the gathering. Gomaa's speech, read out by Adviser Ali Negm, was under the theme: "The Equalizer in Regional and International Equations". In it, the tolerance of Islam was accentuated together with the fact that the path to political stability will inevitably lead Egypt to economic stability.
The Mufti's invitation to the 2012 WEF was intended to spotlight Egypt's inter-faith dialogue experience and its efforts to spread Islamic culture and cooperation among nations across the world.
A highlight on the sidelines of the event was the launching by WEF of a strategic report in cooperation with Egypt's Dar al-Iftaa (House of Religious Opinion) on the major changes affecting the Arab region, their far-reaching global impact and the role religion plays as a principal component of national identity and culture in bringing them under control.
The Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace presented its 2011 Global Peace Index at the event. The report expressed appreciation of the efforts exerted by Egypt's Grand Mufti to spread the culture of tolerance among all peoples on earth. The report's appreciation of Dr. Gomaa was based on the man's unyielding quest for common elements in all faiths and on his commitment to improving relations between the Western and Islamic worlds.
Round-up of the Speech of Dr. Ali Gomaa, the Grand Mufti of Egypt to the World Economic Forum 2012:
In his speech to the World Economic Forum 2012, read out by Adviser Dr. Ali Negm, the Egyptian Mufti Dr. Ali Gomaa said that, just one year after the January Revolution, Egypt was as close as ever to recovering its status as an oasis of peace and security and that it is now on the path to political stability which will inevitably lead it to economic stability.
In his speech, he stressed that in regional and international equations, Egypt stands out as the equalizer. Egyptians realize the difference between the regime they have overthrown and the State, whose institutions they must protect if progress is ever to be achieved.
Dr. Gomaa said that the real and challenging problems facing us as a nation cannot be overcome either by making speeches or by sloganeering. Egypt is blessed with experts in all fields, and with goodness that can be put to use.
The Grand Mufti called on all political parties and trends to desist from raising trivial issues and to immediately launch into real objective discussions of the crucial issues.
Dr. Gomaa further appealed to the international community to provide all kinds of assistance to Egypt without dictating conditions or interfering in the internal affairs of the country.
The Mufti asserted that a spirit of religious tolerance prevailing between Muslims and Copts in Egypt for the past 14 centuries represents a major identity component making us a strong nation capable of effecting change; Egyptians, he said, should work to preserve that spirit.
Dr. Gomaa said Egypt stands a beacon symbolizing middle-of-road moderate Islam and advocating acceptance of the other. The bond between Dar al Ifta and people all over the world is strong. In 2011 alone, more than 4,000 Fatwas (religious opinions) were issued using state-of-the-art communication channels including the social networks.
The Mufti highlighted Dar al-Ifta's commitment to international peaceful efforts in the fields of inter-faith dialogue with the intent of spreading the culture of tolerance and building bridges of cooperation and understanding. Dar al-Ifta, he said, is opposed to fanaticism and Islam phobia, both of which are manifestations that jeopardize all efforts exerted towards achieving world understanding and peaceful coexistence.

As an ambassador for one of the largest spirit producers, Peter O'Connor spends much of his time on the road. But his spiritual home—and that of the new premium Irish whiskey he represents—is in the historic Dublin district of The Liberties.
Just outside the city center, this storied neighborhood is oriented around the main thoroughfare of Thomas Street, a protected architectural conservation area that was once the culmination of a medieval highway leading into Dublin from the West. Later in its history, it became a cradle of various industries, from textiles to whiskey distilling, almost all of which eventually went into decline. It's this latter tradition that Peter wants to help revive.
The towers of the old Guinness Power House seen from Watling Street, the road between the new Roe & Co distillery and the 18th century smock windmill built to power to George Roe's factory.
Arthur's pub is just down the street from the Irish base of Peter's employer, Diageo, the drinks firm that evolved from the '90s merger of Guinness with a UK conglomerate. Given a certain amount of free reign, he and five of Dublin's best bartenders have spent the last few years working with Diageo master blender Caroline Martin on developing the new high-end whiskey, Roe & Co. The fledgling brand is largely inspired by one long-forgotten local distillery in particular—George Roe's 17-acre site on Thomas Street, one of the largest distilleries in the world during the 19th century. "It stretched along all of this street, like a city within a city, and it just closed down overnight." Of course, their motives with Roe & Co aren't purely altruistic. Irish whiskey is the world's fastest growing spirit, and the luxury market aimed at Europe's swelling cocktail culture remains largely untapped. Due for completion in early 2019, on the same block where George Roe's factory once stood. Still, regeneration of existing infrastructure and benefits for the local community are key to the plan.
The distillery will be built into the old Guinness Power House, a perfect example of mid-century industrial architecture, which used to generate all the power for the brewery at St. James' Gate but has lain dormant for fifteen years. Roe & Co are actively seeking to collaborate with the local community on the renovation. The finished project will feature a state of the art visitor experience where they will undoubtedly be hoping to build onto the regeneration of the St. James's Gate area, alongside the Guinness Storehouse, the country's number one tourist attraction. With the facility as with the brand itself, Roe & Co aims to champion the history of The Liberties and revive the heritage of Dublin-made whiskey, a task begun by the neighborhood's other distillery. Rather than a competitor, they see Teeling Whiskey Co, established in 2015 by descendants of one of the city's original whiskey-making dynasties, as a comrade working toward a common goal.
Bustling Meath Street has remained one of the The Liberties' best-loved shopping hubs throughout its long history.
The prospect immediately drew comparisons with other areas of old Dublin that have been revamped in recent decades, with varying levels of success. But there is reason to hope that what's happening in The Liberties will fare far better. Guinness has a long history of contributing to the area in inclusive ways, through initiatives like the Iveagh Trust, established by Edward Guinness in 1890 to provide affordable housing. Diageo are very much treating the St James's Gate Quarter as a long-term investment in the community that has shared a home with Guinness for centuries—and will hopefully do so for many more. As well as promising to develop the area responsibly, with an emphasis on sustainability, repurposing old brewery buildings, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists, they are actively seeking the input of local stakeholders to shape the direction of the design through open consultation sessions. Guaranteed to make it to the final blueprint are brand new streets and modern public spaces built to the finest standard, designed to be "welcoming to all". Accessibility is to be made a primary priority.
Street market traders in The Liberties' casual trading areas brave all weathers to bring their wares to the local community.
Roe & Co. whiskey has already found its way into local stores like Industry & Co.
She hits on perhaps the biggest question around the proposed development. With a housing crisis raging in Dublin, who will actually be able to afford to live there? A one-bedroom apartment in the newest apartment block in the vicinity costs €310,000, over six times the average annual earnings of a full-time Irish employee. Promisingly, Diageo have said they hope to provide social housing as part of St James's Gate Quarter, and ultimately, Aisling feels that the plan has promise, if it's done in the right way. "Opening up all the incredible architecture, heritage and space that belongs to Guinness and does not get shared with the city could be a very positive thing." Jack Teeling displays a similar brand of wary optimism. "I'm hoping and expecting it'll be done in a way that's respectful to its environment and the local community," Jack says.
International private companies are increasingly being drawn into the realm of urban development, particularly in the case of a global conglomerate like Google. It makes total sense that the company that shapes how we interact with the digital world should begin to try to shape our physical realities. Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet, has made it their mission to entirely 'reimagine cities'. Their first assignment will be a team effort with a Canadian government organization to develop an area of land at Toronto's waterfront into a new 'people-centered neighborhood', accessorized with all the latest technology.
Of course, it takes more than just technology to make a neighborhood. Lessons should be learned from places like London's Canary Wharf, a stark business district majority-owned by the Canary Wharf Group where the facilitation of commerce was placed far ahead of cultural or social concerns. This missed opportunity is only now being addressed, with the addition of more family-friendly housing and an increased focus on arts and leisure.
And while some countries are looking to private companies to dream up smart cities or rejuvenate derelict docklands, others are seeking help to meet basic requirements. In India, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has called on the private sector to aid in the goal of ending slums by 2022, framing the prospect of building millions of Pucca houses for the urban poor as a major business opportunity. In the burgeoning Gurgaon, home to a hive of Fortune 500 companies and described by economists as 'India's private city', a lack of public infrastructure has meant businesses have had to step in to meet demand for services like public transport, sewage and waste disposal—and not entirely successfully.
Sustainable development is one area that could benefit significantly from private involvement in updating cities. As governments are being found increasingly lacking in their efforts to address climate change, places like Johannesburg are using green municipal bonds to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to finance clean infrastructure schemes.
The most positive change seems to occur where the public and private realms meet in the middle in advancing urban areas, something that is finally starting to happen in a meaningful way back in The Liberties, Dublin. The city council has begun to see its vast potential, opening the area's first new public park in a century as part of its Liberties Greening Strategy and making attempts to regain control of the Iveagh Market—a closed indoor market built by the Iveagh Trust in 1906. The council have also supported Ireland's first geodesic grow dome, an award-winning community-built venture at the Flanagan's Fields Community Garden. It's all good news to the people who live and work in this key historic district.

Thank you, Peter for passing on the story of George Roe and giving us an insight into what to expect from Diageo in Dublin over the coming years.
Our friends at Diageo World Class share our passion for the craft of cocktail mixing and fine drinking. Out of this friendship grew an exclusive drink partnership supporting our community events with fresh and unique drinks. We were thrilled to collaborate with Diageo gaining insight into the development in The Liberties, Dublin.


The making of this recipe happened to be one of those moments whereby I had tripe that I wanted to get rid of in my fridge but I wanted to cook it then give it away. Here's the thing, I can't bring myself to throw away anything that is still edible. I always remember my uncles words saying "yinkcitho yantoni le?" (what a waste?") when we threw stuff away when we were kids. Throwing away food makes me feel ungrateful, does that sound crazy or is it familiar?
Anyways, I cooked it and it turned out really good. I wasn't planning on having any but I ended dishing up just a little bit for myself. Then I thought it should go to the blog, hence this impromptu post. Tripe stew with Mango Atchar sounds divine right? Well, it is. Throw in a glass of red wine in that mix. It goes well with today's weather in Cape Town. Hope you get to try out the recipe and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
Cook tripe in boiling water with stock cubes and bay leaves. The cooking process might be long i.e. ½ 2 hours. Cook the tripe until it is soft and not chewy.
As soon as the tripe starts to get chewy, add onion, garlic, carrot and let it continue to cook for 10 – 15 minutes.
Add soya sauce, tomato paste, atchar and simmer for 5 minutes.
Served with baked bread or pap.

It was slimmer pickings than in years past for trend-spotters at Toronto's Interior Design Show. Major themes, such as green sustainability and organic shaping, as well as minor motifs, such as LED lamps and waterfall faucets, had all been seen before. Faddish touches – like the overuse of black in lacquered cabinets, carpeting and wall sconces – seemed destined for a short shelf life.
We picked up on the fact that, yes, brushed steel kitchen appliances are being brushed aside by other metallics, strong signature colours and wood veneers. Sinks are moving away from rectangular stone troughs and round ceramic bowls toward oddly shaped cell structures (it appears Will Alsop was right about something, after all). And many bathrooms are returning to the glass-and-dark-wood days of the late Victorian and Deco eras.
As always, though, there were singular things deserving of a more concentrated spotlight than that offered by the Direct Energy Centre's overhead fluorescents. Following, you'll find our take on what we thought great.

The Foothillers take advantage of some late opportunities to push across three runs in the top of the sixth and hold on to claim the road victory.
Steele Canyon had an early opportunity to put something on the board in the bottom of the first inning as Audrey Bagge (2-4, R, 2B) led off with a double and would advance on a passed ball. However Samaria Roope would retire the next two batters, she would walk the next two batters to load the bases and would get out of the jam as she induced the ground ball out.
Another opportunity came for the Cougars in the bottom of the second on a leadoff double by Tayler Thomas (1-4, 2B) but she would be stranded as Roope retired the next three batters in a row.
With the game scoreless in the bottom of the third the Cougars finally broke through as JJ Venzor (1-4, R, RBI, HR) connected off of Roope and jacked a solo home run to center to give them a 1-0 lead, a couple batters later with one out Maggie Carpenter (2-3, R, RBI) singled, Amanda Whipple walked, Danelle Directo into run for Whipple. With runners on first and second Jazmin Alvarado (1-4, R) hit a ground ball that was misplayed which allowed Carpenter to score, with two outs Alvarado moved to third on another error and Elizabeth Bott laid down a bunt that was misplayed allowing Alvarado to come in and score to give Steele Canyon a 3-0 lead.
Trailing by three runs, Grossmont was able to pull within a run in the top of the fourth as Candace Henderson (1-2, 2 RBI, 2B) roped a two-run double that scored both Kati Contreras (2-3, 2R) and Alyssa Box-Agustin (RUN).
After getting out of the jam in the bottom of the fifth inning that saw multiple hits by the Cougars the Foothillers knew they had dodged a bullet and needed to do something.
Grossmont would tie the game at 3-3 on a single by Roope to score Contreras, Aly Allmann (1-3, RBI) followed with an RBI single to score Jordan Brown (1-3, R, 2B) which gave the Hillers their first lead 4-3, a couple batters later Box-Agustin scored on a sacrifice fly by Jessica Medlin (RBI) to make it 5-3.
Steele Canyon would make a threat as Bagge led off with a single, a couple batters later Bianca Morales reached on an error and Bagge advanced to third base, she came into score on a Carpenter groundout to make it 5-4. The Hillers got out of the inning as Roope retired Whipple to end the inning.
Despite threatening for more runs in the top of the seventh the Foothillers came up empty. Trailing by a run in the bottom of the seventh the Cougars knew it now or nothing. Unfortunately, Roope had other ideas as she was able to retire Steele Canyon in order to end the game.
For the Cougars in the loss, Grace Richter went all 7 innings giving up 5 runs on 7 hits while walking 3 and striking out 3.
Roope for the Foothillers went all 7 innings for the victory in which she gave up 4 runs on 9 hits while walking 5 and striking out 7.
Late runs in the fifth and sixth innings by the Sultans procured the home victory against city rival West Hills.
Santana struck the first blow in the bottom of the second inning on an RBI single to center by Emma Leggett which scored Joey Barkhimer (1-2, R, RBI) to make it 1-0.
In the bottom of the third inning, the Sultans would extend their lead on a two-run jack by Mackenzie Bennett (3-4, R, 2 RBI, HR) that scored Nicole Madrigal who came into run for Madison Mendez.
West Hills, however, was able to get back into the game in the top of the fourth inning as Ashleigh Hartwig (RUN) led off with a walk, Gabby Clippinger (1-3, R) singled advancing Hartwig to second, she came around to score on a Star Gaylord (1-2, R, RBI, 2B) smash double to make it 3-1, with runners on second and third Savanah Henderson (RBI) grounded out which brought in Clippinger to cut the deficit 3-2, with two outs Dakotta Mershon (1-3, RBI) tied the game at 3-3 with a single to left field.
A brand new ball game with the game now tied. Both teams were able to hold each other until the bottom of the fifth inning when the Sultans took advantage of opportunities. Santana started the inning off with three consecutive hits, Joey Barkhimer would push across a run as she singled to score Ashley Madrigal (1-3, 2R), a couple batters later Lakaila Aquiningnoc-David (RBI) walked which scored Brittany Mundy (RUN) who came into run to make it 5-3 and Nicole Madrigal (R, RBI) is hit by a pitch which brought home Mackenzie Sims (2R) to make it 6-3.
Despite walking Gaylord in the top of the sixth inning Madison Mendez retired the next two batters to end the inning.
Santana really broke the game open as they scored a couple more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Things started with a walk by Ashley Madrigal, a couple batters later Bennett laced a single to center, both her and Madrigal would advance on a Wolf Pack miscue in the outfield. Coming in to run for Bennett was Mackenzie Sims. Both Madrigal and Sims would come around to score on a single to center by Shelby Holmquist which brought the score to 8-3.
Leading by five runs in the top of the seventh inning the Sultans put the game away as Mendez retired the Wolf Pack in order.
Taking the loss for the Pack, Carly Bursch who pitched 4 innings, giving up 6 runs on 6 hits while walking 4 and striking out 3.
Mendez went all 7 innings to get the complete-game victory in which she gave up 3 runs on 3 hits while walking 4 and striking out 6.

Shania Twain may have started her career in Nashville, but her greatest hits read more like the back catalog of a pop superstar. Nods to her country roots provide a playful counterpoint, as on the rollicking "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" Over a hooky guitar riff, "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" boasts a party-anthem chorus, and "That Don't Impress Me Much" is all slick production and a twinkling disco beat. "You're Still the One" is heartfelt pop balladry at its finest.

Former Virginia Union Coach Dave Robbins has developed a Division II powerhouse and the circle defense is a large part of their success. The circle defense is an aggressive, trapping zone run out of a 2-3 or 3-2 set. The defense is taught in a clinic setting on-court in a 5-on-5 situation. It can be run with the three back line players being the "circle" in a 2-3 set or the three perimeter players as the "circle" in a 3-2 set. The defense can be run with scramble action - strong side guard trap - or mad dog action - four-men trapping. Coach Robbins finishes the presentation by demonstrating how they incorporate switching from the zone to man-to-man within each possession. Running Time: 60 Minutes. .
