Ronaldo's Sabbatical One More Sign Brazil Isn't Taking World Cup Preparations Seriously
April 11, 2013 in Uncategorized | Tags: Confederations Cup, FIFA, O Globo, Ronaldo, World Cup 2014 | 3 comments
Ronaldo woke up in UK today on his first full day in what promises to be a year-long business sabbatical at advertising firm WPP.
One of three men organizing the 2014 World Cup and June's Confederations Cup warm up competition, he leaves at an inopportune time.
Stadiums are late, infrastructure isn't being built fast enough and the budget is rising.
"Our problem is cultural. We leave everything to the last minute," the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan striker told O Globo last week. "We've had since 2007 to get organized."
And yet they haven't. Why Ronaldo, who is one of those charged with making sure the tournament runs smoothly, is taking leave of his position right now makes no sense to me.
FIFA says he is an unpaid volunteer and that he will be returning to Brazil whenever his presence is needed at events.
The fact is, however, it is one more sign of Brazil's lack of seriousness.
If you assume a position organising a major tournament like the World Cup, you should devote yourself to the task, not do it when it suits you.
Ronaldo's departure on the eve of the Confederations Cup, with stadiums still not ready four months past the initial deadline, and public transportation projects so far behind schedule they probably won't happen before June 2014, sends a clear signal to the world.
The signal is that Brazil isn't taking this seriously.
Who's The Genius That Made This Decision And How Do They Still Have A Job? No. 372

If you knew the escalators at Rio's international airport needed replacing then when would you choose to rip them out?
Would you look for a quiet time in order to cause the least inconvenience to passengers or would you do it right in the middle of carnival, the time of the year when the airport is busiest?
No prizes for guessing that officials in Rio have scheduled to replace 10 of the airport's escalators the week of carnival, when half a million people are expected to come through the building.
(I am not making this up. See details in this morning's Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.)
This struck me as too ridiculous to be true so I called Infraero – the body that runs the Galeao airport – and they confirmed the Folha story. Fourteen of the 58 escalators have already been replaced and they are replacing 10 more right now.
Why not wait a couple of weeks and do it after the carnival rush is over, I asked.
We are following the established timetable, the Infraero official replied.

Goal Scorer and Goal Keeper The Keys To Fluminense's Fourth Championship Triumph
November 12, 2012 in Uncategorized | Tags: Fluminense, football, Libertadores, O Globo, Palmeiras, Reuters | Leave a comment
Fluminense won their fourth Brazilian league title on Sunday and this piece explains why.
In short, two men were outstanding. Fred finished the season as top goalscorer with 19 goals, and more than half of them ensured Flu took all three points. His goals were decisive in 10 games.
Goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri couldn't establish himself as first choice at Palmeiras or Liverpool, where Marcos and Pepe Reina were No. 1, respectively. But he was fantastic for Fluminense, keeping 13 clean sheets over the season and making countless great saves.
A team wins the league, not individuals but they were two of the best performers over the season.
Congratulations to Fluminense who will now want to emulate Corinthians and win the Libertadores for the first time.
If players like Deco, Rafael Sobis and Thiago Neves turn it on like they've turned it on before then they are in with a real chance.

Tax Free? Yes, But Still Extortionate
July 15, 2012 in Uncategorized | Tags: Business, O Globo, taxes | Leave a comment
It's no longer a shock to hear Brazil described as one of the most expensive countries in the world.
Most Brazilians will tell you the reason is high taxes and they are partly right, the levels of taxation here are abusive given the services provided in return.
(I've written about that before here and here.)
But another simpler reason is that companies and businessmen are just plain greedy. They know they can charge huge mark ups because Brazil is full of rich and emerging consumers who have lots of money and who don't know the value of what they are buying.
Further proof comes in this story in today's O Globo newspaper. It lists duty free prices at airports around the world. Prices at the Dufry store at Rio's Galeao airport routinely outstrip those elsewhere, often by as much as 68%.
If the the story errs it is in quoting too many lawyers trying to justify the abusive prices. One talks about the 'Brazil cost,' that collection of infrastructure, taxation, legal and other obstacles that make Brazil so expensive. He also cites the fact that these goods can cost so much more because they are imported from Europe.
It's mostly bullshit. And here's why.
A 1 litre bottle of Sagatiba cachaça costs $29.90 at Dufry. A 70 cl bottle of the same Sagatiba cachaça costs $15.40 at Uvinum online stores in the US.
It's one more example of how consumers are treated with disdain here. We are walking wallets, there to be taken advantage of.
It's an outrage and with consumer advocates so weak, there is little way of combating the abuse other than by boycotting the offending shops.
We could all start by refusing to spend money at Dufry.
One Law For The Rich….
March 12, 2012 in Uncategorized | Tags: Barreto, Bloomberg, environment, O Globo | Leave a comment
I usually use this blog to plug my own stories but I am making an exception today for this brilliant piece of reporting about how rich Brazilians are destroying the environment to build themselves palatial homes.
Some of the most powerful and influential people in Brazil, film maker Bruno Barreto and the Marinho family that run the Globo media empire among them, have consistently flouted the law by cutting down forests, diverting streams, and disturbing rare habitats.
All so they can have nice houses.
The Bloomberg story says:
"All Brazilian beaches are public by law. Wealthy Brazilians do whatever they want on land that often doesn't belong to them, says Eduardo Godoy of the Paraty office of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, which manages federally protected areas.
"They think they are the only ones who deserve to enjoy a piece of paradise because they are rich," Godoy says. "They say they are the owners of the island or the beach, and everybody believes them. But that's not what the law says."
When prosecutors and environmental police go after them (and usually win), the millionaires appeal the decisions in court, knowing that such actions can take years to be resolved. They ignore the original rulings and stay put while their lawyers buy them time to enjoy their ill-gotten gains.
Read the whole story here. It's worth it.
Message to Neymar: Aim to be More Like Lionel Messi and Less Like Cristiano Ronaldo
June 22, 2011 in Uncategorized | Tags: football, Neymar, O Globo, Santos | Leave a comment
Photographer: Ronnie Macdonald
It's always entertaining to hear Diego Maradona whining that he was a better player than Pelé.
No matter that almost everyone who seen them both play rates Pelé higher.
Now, however, Maradona is updating that age-old dispute between Brazil and Argentina by claiming Neymar is not as good as Lionel Messi and probably never will be.
So far, he's right. Messi has not only won much more than Neymar, he has done so with elegance and poise, both on and off the pitch.
But what was most interesting about Maradona's latest rant was him targeting Neymar for his bad attitude. "That boy is ill-mannered and he respects no one, just like Pelé," Maradona said (according to this story on ig.com.br).
Now, aside from the obvious, 'black, kettle, pot' aspect of Diego Maradona criticising another player's attitude, it's illustrative how Neymar has so quickly managed to acquire an image as a cheat, an arrogant boor and a spoilt brat.
Take this opinion last week from O Globo's Fernando Calazans: "I am a bit sick of seeing him rolling around on the ground and then inventing stories about the referee threatening to send him off. The only person threatening to get Neymar sent off is Neymar himself, with his spoilt child antics and his addiction to being a star."
That damning indictment from one of the most astute football columnists in Brazil is no isolated criticism.
Opposing manager Rene Simões called Neymar "a monster" last year and said he had seldom seen a player "as ignorant or unsporting."
Several opposing players have accused him of cheating.
And after he scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Scotland earlier this year, amid lots of rolling around and feigning injury, former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin said Neymar "lives in an alternative universe where the slightest brush leads to mortal pain that looks like it is going to kill him and then 20 seconds later he is magically better."
Neymar accused the Scotland fans of racism in that match but even after it was revealed the banana thrown on the pitch came from a German teenager, Neymar stubbornly refused to apologise for the accusation.
He would do well to grow up and show some humility and he could start by looking at some appropriate role models.
That doesn't mean Pelé and it certainly doesn't mean Maradona.
Neymar should spend more time trying to be like Lionel Messi. Both on and off the field.
P.S. Good luck to Santos (and Neymar) in the final of the Libertadores match tonight against Peñarol.
Brazil's Jabulani. Amazonia? Jabuticaba? Carambola? Joaninha? Brasuca?

Brazilians are a playful lot and artistic with it and this sketch combines both qualities.
It's a lighthearted look at possible footballs that could be used in place of the helium filled Jabulani in Brazil in 2014.

Hundreds of nurses and other informatics professionals convened in Baltimore July 16-18 for the University of Maryland School of Nursing's 24th Annual Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics (SINI), while dozens more followed the proceedings live via Web streaming. With support from sponsors ESD Consulting and HIMSS, this year's SINI described new roles for clinicians and informaticians in using informatics tools to support patient-centered care across settings. In addition, experts in two think tanks conducted during SINI explored ongoing challenges in interoperability and data analytics, focusing particularly on issues arising from patient-generated data and health information exchange across settings.
National leaders in health informatics filled plenary sessions with a set of distinguished lectures. In the opening keynote address, Philip Fasano, executive vice president and chief information officer, Kaiser Permanente, described online tools that Kaiser members may use to manage their health and communicate with their providers.
Martin Kohn, chief medical scientist, Care Delivery Systems, Jointly Health, opened day two with a discussion about big data and clinical decision support. Later in the day, participants had the opportunity to hear a follow-up presentation by Eric Siegel, professor, University of Maryland School of Medicine, about what must happen before Watson, IBM's super computer, can support bedside care.
The focus shifted from big data to personal health management in a presentation by a representative of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). Ellen Makar, senior policy advisor, described initiatives ONC is undertaking to help individuals and families engage in reaching their health goals through the use of computer-based and mobile health applications.
Molly McCarthy, chief nursing strategist, Microsoft U.S. Health and Life Sciences, opened day three by telling participants about new Microsoft initiatives in health care and personal health management.
Finally, Patricia Flatley Brennan, professor of nursing and industrial engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, gave the endnote address, inviting participants to look at emerging technologies that will transform both the delivery of health care and personal health management.
Interspersed with the distinguished lectures were 34 invited and peer-reviewed podium presentations offered in concurrent sessions. An additional 27 peer-reviewed poster presentations sparked lively discussions during the poster session.
Participants also enjoyed networking at the Exhibitor Evening. In addition to the showcase of products and services aimed at nursing informatics, participants met the authors of popular nursing informatics texts at a book signing and got acquainted with colleagues they had been following on Twitter at a Tweet Meet.
The essence of SINI remains the quality of the content, the expertise and generosity of the presenters, and the collegiality of the participants. We were honored to receive a large number of excellent abstracts. The abstracts were carefully reviewed and scored by the 16-member planning committee, and awards were given to the highest-rated abstracts for poster and podium presentations in the categories of research and practice. In addition, attendees at the poster session voted for a People's Choice award.

The Afterlife is a comforting fairy-tale, a belief you should grow out of!
Karl Marx believed religion was the "opium for the people". He thought that religion preached beliefs designed to comfort and cajole the oppressed. Opium is a powerful and addictive drug that numbs pain; in the same way, religion offers hope to despairing people that one day all will be well. Marx despised religion for discouraging oppressed people from rising up and challenging the status quo. Instead they console themselves, thinking that God looks on and is pleased with their humility and long-suffering, and will reward them accordingly with a glorious Afterlife. Who has to gain from such a system? Marx argues that those in positions of authority perpetrate this myth of religion because it benefits them. Whereas the masses don't challenge them in this lifetime, because they would rather wait for future, heavenly justice to be handed out.
I haven't seen much evidence in favour of Karl Marx's view. William Wilberforce campaigned against slavery in the UK until it was abolished; Dietrich Bonhoeffer plotted to assassinate Hitler and was killed for his failed scheme; and Romanian Pastor, Richard Wurmbrand, would not stop speaking out against the evils of communism in the 1940/50s and was tortured in prison for 14 years as a consequence. These Christians show that religious beliefs are often the cause of fighting for change, not passively submitting to corrupt systems. When communist governments in China and the Soviet Union attempted to eradicate religion, assuming that everyone would flourish, Mao Zedong and Stalin racked up over 100 million deaths from their own people. During this time Churches met 'underground' (in secret); grew spectacularly in number; and were responsible for sharing food, clothes and shelter with the 'liberated' masses who were now starving to death on a vast scale. Whenever put into practise, Karl Marx's communism and negative views about religion have only ever led to widespread death and destruction.
Has there been a period in History where religious beliefs (and beliefs about the Afterlife) have ceased in the general populace? We have greater scientific knowledge now and yet religious beliefs are held by 80% of the world's population[1]. It may be tempting to accuse the 80% of being uneducated and unscientific, However, many incredibly intelligent people held/hold religious beliefs: Blaisé Pascal (helped develop calculus), Johann Kepler (founder of modern astronomy), Francis Collins (directed the National Human Genome Research Institute), Ernest Watson (artificially split the atom and proved that E=mc²), and Werner Heisenberg (a primary creator of quantum mechanics). These scientists demonstrate that as knowledge progresses, it has not brought about the "death of God" that Nietzsche predicted.
Just because many highly educated people believe an Afterlife is possible, that doesn't make it true. But it does require us to assess the evidence for ourselves rather than dismiss it automatically as a childish notion. Some sceptics claim that these scientists have been brought up in Christian homes/cultures, which forms the lens through which they view the world (although that isn't true for them all, as Francis Collins was an atheist before his conversion). The theory is if you could remove the impacts of their upbringing, they would reach a more enlightened view on the falsity of religion. But are the sceptics guilty of the same fallacy? Have they been brought up in atheist families/cultures but never looked into the contrasting evidence for themselves? Sceptics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, argue the afterlife is a fairy-tale that no respected educated person could believe. When they are presented with a list of credible scientists who are religious, they simply alter their argument and accuse those examples of viewing the world through a bias lens. Are they guilty of being similarly bias? How often will they alter the parameters of the debate before they analyse their own point of view and the evidence upon which it stands? Socrates said that "an unexamined life is not worth living", but I wonder how many of us do take the time to critically analyse the beliefs we have inherited, whether they be religious or not.
Notions of an Afterlife have existed since the earliest human civilizations. 100,000 BCE is the earliest known human burial in the Middle East. Wikipedia states "the earliest evidence of religious thought is based on the ritual treatment of the dead. Most animals display only a casual interest in the dead of their own species. Ritual burial thus demonstrates a significant change in human behaviour and represents an awareness of life and death and a possible belief in the afterlife."[2]
The evolutionary argument for religion attempts to explain why humans evolved into 'spiritual' beings that engage in ritualistic behaviour. Maybe religion evolved to help offer a standard by which to codify our behaviour. Thomas Hobbes argued that human lives are "nasty, brutish and short" unless we agree to live in communal societies. The 'social contract' we make with the group entails giving away our freedom to act how we like, in order to benefit from the protection of the group. Groups only work when there is an agreed morality to which everyone subscribes. If you do bad deeds, you risk being ostracized. The code of morality needs to be enforced by a high authority otherwise people rebel. When Dominic Cummings broke Lockdown rules in 2020, it caused many citizens to question the validity of the laws when the leaders were free to break them. What is the highest authority for a code of behaviour? Religions teach of a divine figure whose essence is Goodness-personified and this figure reveals a code of morality for humans to follow; break it at your peril! The evolutionary argument also suggests that religious ritualistic behaviours create unity cohesion, which fosters mutual dependence, connectedness, wellbeing, stable family units, altruistic acts and gratitude; all of which contribute to good mental health.
If the evolutionary argument for the origins of religion is true (see my post 'Morality: Proof of God?'), then this is a naturalistic argument to explain why religion may always be with us and humans will always posit an afterlife. It's not a fairy-tale for uncivilized societies; it is an essential behaviour for maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing. According to a 2014 Pew Research survey, "religiously active people are typically happier and more 'civically engaged'". Attempts to remove religion from societies would therefore have tragic repercussions.
However, just because a belief is useful (for the effects it produces) and clearly not going away any time soon – that doesn't make it true. Descartes' Causal Adequacy Principle assumes that you can't get something from nothing[3], and if a real effect exists (a belief in an afterlife) then you have to wonder what the sufficient explanation is for its cause? If it's a fabrication, then fabricated out of what? How do evolved primates suddenly understand the concepts of Past, Present and Future; Morality; Mortality; and Infinity? The Bible teaches that God designed us with these tools so that we could discover the truth of His existence[4]. We were made in "the image and likeness" of God[5] which gives humans unique abilities that separate us from the animal kingdom. The Scriptures are divine revelation to teach us unknowable things[6]. The truth of these revealed mysteries is verified through hundreds of prophecies which accurately predict the future (e.g. during 351 occasions in the life of Jesus). Other evidence for believing in the Afterlife are Near Death Experiences and Jesus' resurrection (Jesus did raise at least three others back from the dead, but His resurrection is unique in that He will never die again).
Afterlife beliefs existed in the world's earliest civilizations (Egypt and Mesopotamia) and still exist in the six major world religions of today, as well as many minority religions. Even Science is open to the possibility of other dimensions existing outside the confines of our universe (the Multiverse). If you can believe in that (without any concrete evidence[7]), how is that drastically different from believing in Heavenly dimensions? At least Religion can offer a sufficient explanation for why those dimensions exist (they were created by an omnipotent Being). The alternative is trying to account for how the most complex collection of entities we have ever theorised (the Multiverse) exists of its own accord, with no designer behind it. A common response to this line of argument is: who made God? But I will save that discussion for another time.
What is the sufficient cause for the belief in an Afterlife? Is it merely a comforting delusion that has tricked the vast majority of people throughout history or is it a spark of an idea that an evolved animal couldn't have conjured from their own grey matter? How does a finite being understand the concept of infinity (especially when we don't fully understand it!)? Our Maker has designed us in such a way (and provided divine revelation) so that we can explore mysteries beyond our comprehension and conclude there must be other realities beyond our own. Once we've made that step, we can then reach out to that Maker and know Him for ourselves[8]. What do you think is the best explanation?

My Purpose? Fine-Tuned Earth
My Purpose? Training-Ground


After a good nights sleep, I was packed up and ready to go at 8:15am. It's getting darker as autumn is here so pre 8am starts are looking less likely! It was absolutely freezing in the hut, you could see everyone's breath as they were talking, so I bundled up only to strip everything off in under 2 minutes of walking. It was warmer outside than in the hut!
The first big climb was straight away and I had Mercy and Kit right behind me, I stopped to 'sort out my shoe lace' and let them pass, I don't like the pressure of having someone right behind me. After a while I was really having problems with my feet, the left one kept going numb and then getting pins and needles which made going uphill all the more difficult. On the plus side it was sunny and the views across the mountains and the valleys were awesome.
It took just over an hour to get to the top, we sat for a little while and thought about the fact that we were as high as we are going to get now, we don't go higher that this from now on and we are starting to leave the mountains behind.
Then came the long descent the other side, I can't say I enjoyed it that much. The trail was on a slant the whole way and I took several tumbles as I slipped on the wet grass. The tussock was lumpy, unstable and covered holes. The bush and spikey plants scratched me and pulled at my clothes and pack. After some intense downhill we got to the river and debated whether to keep following the trail or follow the river, but we did that before and it was just as hard work so we decided to stick to the trail. It followed contours for some of it but there was also a lot of steep up and down and the trail was still on a slant so it really was hard work. By the fifth time I landed on my bum I was getting pretty frustrated, and when I missed an orange marker and went the wrong way I got really annoyed with myself.
The trail ended with a river crossing where it was impossible to keep dry feet and that just topped it off really! I was glad when that bit of trail was over. I had slid and tripped my way through it for a couple of hours and I was ready to finish the relationship between me and the tussock. It's just not working out. So I was happy to join a 4wd track and walk easily for a bit. I was starving as it was now midday, but the flies were just outrageous so I wasn't able to stop. I passed through Mace town which is an old abandoned mining town. Not that there is much to see anymore because people have been stealing the stones and things that were left as collectors items, so there isn't really much left to see. I pulled some food out my pack that I could eat as I walked to avoid being bitten a million times.
The descent the other side was relatively easy, as we are nearing civilisation the trails become popular day walks so they are more well worn and easier to walk on and follow. It was a nice path which dipped in and out of the forest and ended up in Arrowtown. What a strange but nice little town Arrowtown is! It has the remnants of its mining past all over the place, a place I would like to revisit when I'm not a stinky hiker. We found a shop that sold basically everything and while Sandy and Colin went for fish and chips, I had a chicken and avocado sandwich. Something about it just spoke to me, and it was a good choice! Of course I also had two sodas and a double scoop ice cream to go with it!
The original plan was to stop in Arrowtown and stay at the holiday park, but Sandy and Colin wanted to carry on and get a few more miles in to be closer to Queenstown. I was unsure as there wouldn't be anywhere to camp. They thought it would be ok to stealth camp by the lake, and I didn't think it would be, seeing as we are so close to the city and the restrictions on freedom camping they have here. The trail notes weren't clear as to whether camping was allowed or not. But, I decided to go with them anyway and I told them to speak French if we got into any trouble. We followed the road for a short time before joining a cycle / walkway which went through a golf course to get to Lake Hayes. As expected, there was a no camping sign when we arrived. So we knocked on someone's house, explained the situation and asked him if we could camp near his property. He said no, so we asked at another house, a beautiful house set in a huge plot of land with gardens similar to some parks at home. They were a lot more welcoming and after a conversation about the trail where they expressed an interest in doing it in sections, they said it was ok for us to pitch our tents amongst some trees in their grounds. So nice of them and we were very grateful.

He served two years at that location, where he did photography work for the Navy and also threw fast pitch softball while enlisted.

The base also housed the first Olympic sized swimming pool west of the Mississippi. The base was decommissioned in the mid 1970's.

A quantitative approach to social and geographical dialect variation
Martijn Benjamin Wieling
Research output: Thesis › Thesis fully internal (DIV)
The central theme of Martijn Wieling's dissertation is dialect variation. To obtain a true picture of dialect variation, we measure dialect distances automatically on the basis of the transcriptions of hundreds of words. In this dissertation, Wieling refined this distance measure by employing (automatically generated) acoustically sensitive sound distances. Additionally, he introduced a novel method enabling the simultaneous identification of dialect areas together with their characteristic linguistic features (in terms of sound correspondences). For both English and Dutch, he found sensible dialect areas as well as their characteristic features. For example, for the Frisian area, we identify the addition of 'sj' as highly characteristic: wachten 'to wait' becomes wachtsje. inally, he has developed an integrated approach which is able to determine the influence of various factors on dialect variation per word. Not only is this method able to include the effect of geographical proximity, but it also allows a focus on various social and word-related factors (such as speaker age, or the frequency of a word). For example, Dutch dialect words differ most from their standard Dutch counterpart in the provinces of Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Limburg and Zeeland. In addition, he finds that the dialect pronunciations of a community with a small number of inhabitants or a high average age differ more from the standard Dutch language than those of a community having a large number of inhabitants or a low average age. Finally, he finds that more frequent words are more resistant to standardization (in different languages). This dissertation focuses on real dialect pronunciations. It does not say anything about the accent of people speaking the standard language.

On Monday 15 October 2001, in Brussels, top representatives from ESA, the EU and other governmental organisations will participate in a Conference on GMES (Global Monitoring for environment and security) organised under the aegis of the Belgian EU Presidency. The full day programme, articulated into three sessions, will see the presence of around 300 delegates. Registration will start at 08:30 hrs at the Palais de Congrès, Coudenberg, 3 (*).
The goal of the GMES initiative is to establish a coherent, operational, long-term and user-dedicated information system that meets the specific needs for policy making and research in several fields such as environment, agriculture, regional development, security, and transport. The GMES initiative aims at supporting Europe's leading role in the monitoring of the global environment and provides support to policy makers in the fields of hazards and crisis management.
GMES is one of the two main pillars of the joint European strategy for space, developed by ESA and the EU and adopted in November 2000 by both the ESA Minister's Council and the EU Research Council. In addition, as part of the European Union strategy for Sustainable Development, the Gothenburg European Summit in June 2001 decided that the Community should contribute to establishing a European capacity for global monitoring for environment and security by 2008.
GMES will be geared to meeting a number of challenges: global change and its impact on our environment, including monitoring of treaty commitments; the strain on the environment caused by degradation; natural resource depletion and scarcity; and natural or man-made environmental disasters.
ESA is well placed to respond to these challenges: as of now with ERS, in the near future with Envisat and later on with the Earth Watch and Earth Explorer missions.
ESA can head the space contribution to GMES and be the Commission's natural partner in this initiative. By doing so, ESA follows the mandate given by the ESA and EU Ministers, according to which ESA acts as the implementing agency for the development and procurement of the space segment and the ground segment involved in the European Community's initiatives.
The Brussel's GMES Conference recommendations will serve as an input to the discussions on the implementation of the GMES Programme which will be discussed at the upcoming EU Research Council in October 2001 in Brussels and which will be tabled at the ESA Ministerial Council of 14-15 November 2001 in Edinburgh.
Media representatives wishing to attend the Conference are requested to fill in the attached form and fax it back to Françoise Pokorni, OSTC, Brussels for accreditation.
(*) See conference programme attached.
Conference starting at 9.00 in the "Benelux Room"
11.20 - Global Monitoring in Support to Conventions: Ozone Monitoring: D. Burridge, Director of the ECMWF, United Kingdom.
The Conference Programme may be subject to modifications.

Conversation in a dream
I woke up this morning, astonished at what my sleeping mind could come up with. I was with some of my childhood friends. We were a few who played role playing games long before there was a name or a system for it in Norway, dreaming up stories and dramas, and playing them out in the forests around where we lived.
In my dream we were all adults, but still role playing. Only some of the role play had backfired into reality. I no longer remember every detail, lucid and logical though they were, but it involved pern-type firelizards (miniature dragons), familiars, astral bodies and magic children. So I called in some of the people I had played with for a long time, but who had freaked out because they felt it got too real. The logic was: If they felt it was too real, perhaps they had already experienced these situations, and I had just not listened to them.
Turned out they were no good, their "too real" was on the emotional plane. But one of them brought a long a teacher/mentor, who looked like "the fat aging academic male" in all movies where they need some disposable nerd. And I started discussing educational planning with him.
He claimed that the master study they were planning was created after the structure of herd behaviour: by seeing in what sequence students would naturally choose subjects, they would make the path through the courses as easy and natural as possible. I claimed that what he described was supermarket planning, and that true herd/flock behaviour was non-linear, unless the group was spooked and forced to act in the same sequence. I used birds as an example. While they would, when relaxed, spread all over the red currant bushes in the garden, eating, singing, resting, fluttering about looking for something else, the presence of our cat would make them all fly up at the same time.
The argument was that the natural, unhurried pattern of choice for a group of students would be no pattern at all - unless some outside authority or threath spooked them. Which is what we use exams and assessments for - to make them all fly in the same direction to save their grades.
When I woke up, I felt like I had been having an epiphany. I understood why students want to move things around and direct their own progress, and why I have always felt that was important. That is more how the old Norwegian educational system worked, and how it still works to a certain degree if you go for a free bachelor. I also understood the modifying effect of tests, tasks and exams, and the need for these things to have real consequences. Well, not that I want to need to kill and eat students, but the need for apprehension, fear, tension and the possibility of significant loss at the other end of the process was suddenly clear to me.
It was weird. And interesting, as were the metaphors my mind used to tell me those things.

Kulbhushan Jadhav case: India's quest for justice
The International Court of Justice (ICJ on Wednesday said the stay on executing an Indian man on death row in Pakistan must continue, TV reports said. Pakistan has said Kulbhushan Sudhir Jadhav, a former Indian navy officer, was arrested in its restive southwestern province of Balochistan in March 2016 on charges of espionage. Jadhav, 48, was then sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court in 2017, sparking outrage in India. India insists that Jadhav was not a spy and says he was kidnapped by Pakistan. New Delhi had asked the ICJ to order Islamabad to annul the sentence.

Yashwant Sinha to Nirmala Sitharaman: Meet five finance ministers from the BJP
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had its first full term at the Centre from 1998 to 2004, with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the prime minister. This period saw two BJP leaders serving as the Union finance minister — Yashwant Sinha from 1998 to 2002 and Jaswant Singh from 2002-2004. During Sinha's term, while the nation was going through some troubled times on the external front — from the US sanctions after the 1998 nuclear tests to the Kargil war with Pakistan and the infamous Kandahar hijacking case — Sinha helped stabilise the country's economy. The most interesting change that made was a change in time of the Budget presentation to mornings. Prior to 1998, the Budget was presented in the evening session of Parliament. In his tenure, Sinha rationalised the excise rates as well. In 2002, Jaswant Singh took over as the finance minister and Yashwant Sinha became the external affairs minister. Singh had also been the finance minister in 1996, when the Vajpayee government had fallen in just 15 days. Singh laid the foundation for State Value Added Tax (VAT) and slashed custom duties. In 2014, when the NDA government returned to power with Narendra Modi as PM, party veteran Arun Jaitley was made the finance minister. Jaitley gave the nation the Goods and Services Tax, the concept for which had been hanging fire for over 15 years. After GST was enforced, many tax slab revisions were also manoeuvred and Jaitley also introduced the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The IBC helped the insolvency process of several companies that were going down. When Jaitley's health deteriorated, Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal was made an interim finance minister. Goyal presented the full Budget for the 2018-19 and the Interim Budget for 2019-20. The most crucial among Goyal's Budget announcements was a tax concession to the lowest bracket of the salaried class. He also announced a scheme for income transfer to farmers. Now, with the Modi government back in power at the Centre for a second time, Nirmala Sitharaman has been given charge of the finance ministry — she is the first woman in India to get finance as primary portfolio. As Sitharaman, the fifth NDA finance minister, presents her first Budget on July 5, the measures that she announces will be keenly watched.
