Turkey Continues to Forcibly Return Refugees, Ignoring International Warnings that Syria is Still Unsafe
The Turkish authorities deported over 155,000 Syrian refugees to Syria between 2019 and 2021, committing refoulement under the veil of "voluntary return"

"Fourteen days into detention, they started to take groups of five young men out of prison every day. We did not know what happened to them. On my turn, they took me to the interrogation room. The interrogator asked me a few questions and then said: 'sign this paper. It is for your release.' I checked the document thoroughly and realized that it was the approval of 'voluntary return' to Syria. I refused to sign it and asked for a lawyer. The interrogator refused. I informed them of my situation and that I had a kimlik [Temporary Protection Identification Document]. But they refused to listen. I insisted that I would not sign the document. So, they returned me to prison. Two days later, a security force handcuffed me and coerced me to sign the 'voluntary return' document. Then, they transferred us to the Jarabulus Border Crossing and handed us to the 9th Division of the Opposition Syrian National Army (SNA). The division, detained, interrogated, beat, and humiliated us. After this, they asked us to pay them money in exchange for our release."
The Turkish authorities raided the house of the witness and returned him to Syria against his will in May 2021. The witness had established a stable life in Turkey and even started his own business once he entered Turkey in 2016. He was one of the many Syrian refugees, whom the Turkish authorities detained and ultimately forcibly deported back to danger, even though they had a kimlik, the chief purpose of which is ensuring the safety of refugees.
Since mid-2018, Turkish authorities have been carrying out a wide range of arbitrary practices against refugees, whose status as refugees is established by the kimlik the Turkish government provided them with. Refugees were detained at deportation camps adjacent to the Turkey-Syria border and later were forcibly deported to Syrian territories. In Syria, Turkey-affiliated armed opposition groups beat and maltreated dozens of the refugees and even detained them for varying periods.
In the deportation camps, the Turkish authorities hold refugees in appalling conditions and force them to choose between long-term abject detention in the camp or signing a "voluntary return" document. Syrian media activist Munib al-Ali was held in a detention camp on the charge of "provoking hatred and animosity and perpetrating discord" under Article 2016 of the Turkish Penal Code. Al-Ali was placed in the Oğuzeli Deportation Center in Gaziantep, with his file coded G87. Al-Ali was coerced to choose between detention for a year or signing the "voluntary return" document. He was ultimately returned to Syria even though he had a kimlik.
As documented by Syrians for Truth and Justice (STJ) and other local and international rights organizations, in some cases Turkish authorities exploited the language barrier between their employees and Syrian refugees. They took advantage of the detainees' inadequate command of the Turkish language and asked their affiliated interpreters to trick the refugees into putting their thumbprint on the "voluntary return" document, alleging it is a release paper. One of the deported refugees told STJ that the Turkish authorities played on his lack of proficiency in Turkish and asked him to sign documents, supposedly of his release. Later, he learned that he was deceived and made to sign the "voluntary return" document, which facilitated his deportation to Syria.
For the purposes of the report, STJ reached out to a total of 21 deported refugees. All the witnesses stressed that the deportations had adversely affected their lives. The majority lost their jobs and/or had their bank accounts frozen after the Turkish Government canceled their kimlik and gave them five-year-entry bans. The most devastating outcome has been the fragmentation of several families. Husbands and fathers were sent to Syria, while wives and children remained in Turkey. Deprived of their breadwinners, those left behind were forced to fend for themselves.
Out of the 21 interviewed witnesses, STJ recorded that only seven did not have a kimlik, which is the main pretext on which the forced returns were carried out.
In Syria, several of the deported refugees were subjected to blackmail and extreme violations, including detention and torture at the hands of the SNA and the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Both the SNA and the HTS operate border crossings with Turkey.
The interviewed witnesses told STJ that the deportations perpetrated by Turkish authorities did not target male refugees only. The witnesses said that the Turkish authorities carried out family-level deportations, detaining mothers and children under grim conditions, and later forcibly returning them to Syria.
In addition to deported refugees, STJ reached out to three employees at the border crossings in the Turkey-supervised Euphrates Shield and the Peace Spring strips. The sources recounted that the Turkish authorities deliberately deported refugees through the HTS-run border crossing of Bab al-Hawa, even though they knew that several of those deported are from Aleppo's northern countryside and are on bad terms with the HTS. Thus, the Turkish authorities risked the lives of these refugees and made them vulnerable to financial extortion and/or arrest by the HTS forces. The sources added that the Turkish authorities deported a small batch of refugees to their birthplaces in Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ayn/Serê Kaniyê, in response to the appeals the refugees filed when they were in the detention centers.
The deportations garnered the attention of serval Syrian influential figures, who decried the arbitrary practice. Scholar Ali al-Qaradaghi, Secretary-General of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, on 21 December 2021 addressed the suffering of Rohingya and Uighur Muslims, stressing that the "forcible deportation of refugees is haram (forbidden)" and described the deportations as a "crime and absolutely forbidden". Specific to the deportations of Syrian refugees from Turkey, the Anadolu Agency (Arabic) cited a fatwa by al-Qaradaghi. The scholar said that "deporting refugees, especially against their will, is absolutely forbidden and is a crime. He added that "Helping refugees reach safety or keeping them safe" is farida (obligation) under the Islamic Sharia. The scholar also emphasized that "advocating the cause of those subjected to injustice is an ethical and humanitarian duty, enforced by Sharia as well. And that enabling the oppressors and helping them inflict injustice amounts to partaking in the crime, which is an act punishable by God."
The deportations reverberated locally, stirring 16 Turkish organizations to respond in an official form. On 1 November 2021, the organizations issued a joint statement, calling the Turkish authorities to stop the deportation proceedings against Syrian refugees, on the charge of "posting provocative videos" in the context of the banana crisis, whereby the banana became the newest symbol for the growing tensions between some Turkish people and Syrian refugees. The organizations highlighted the legal implications of the deportations, as Turkish authorities continue to violate Article 33 of the Refugee Convention of 1951, which states that "No Contracting State shall expel or return ('refouler') a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion."
Turkey is also bound by the international customary law of non-refoulement, which prohibits the return of anyone to a territory where they would be at the real risk of persecution, torture or other ill-treatment, or a threat to life. Turkey also may not use violence or the threat of violence or detention to coerce people to return to places where they face harm. This includes Syrian asylum seekers, who are entitled to automatic protection under Turkish law, including any who have been blocked from registration for temporary protection since late 2017.
Addressing the claims of safety in Syria, which the Turkish authorities are using as a pretext for the deportations, on 21 October 2021, Chair of the UN Syria Commission of Inquiry, Paulo Pinheiro, delivered a speech before the Third Committee of the General Assembly, warning that "This is not a time for anyone to be thinking that Syria is safe, for its refugees to return home. Instead, we are seeing an upsurge in fighting and violence."
Despite this, January 2022 was marked by group deportations of tens of Syrians, most of whom had not committed any crimes. Instead, many carried kimliks, work permits, and student paperwork. STJ continues to investigate these cases and will soon publish our findings in another report.
The cost of these deportations, both from Turkey and Europe, have often been deadly. Most recently, Turkish media, associated with the government, reported that 19 bodies had been found of refugees who died from the cold after Greek police arrested, stripped, and returned them to Turkey.
Border Crossing Statistics on Deportations
The media outlets affiliated with the Turkey-Syria border crossings are primary sources for leads on deportations, particularly statistics they publish on the numbers of refugees forcibly deported to Syria. The numbers are obtained from crossing employees, who receive the refugees from Turkish authorities and register their names, before granting them access to Syrian territories, which are under the military control of HTS and other armed opposition groups.
The published statistics exclude refugees who enter Syria either on holidays, to spend the Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr with their families, or for medical reasons. The second group includes individuals and/or their companions who seek healthcare in Turkish hospitals.
Additionally, the statistics do not cover Syrian individuals arrested and returned to Syria while attempting to enter Turkey illegally. On 15 February 2021, STJ published a report that documents dozens of cases of captured Syrians, who have been beaten, tortured, and maltreated in the custody of the factions in control of areas adjacent to the border strip.
STJ tracked the statistics published by the official media outlets of three major border crossings, Bab al-Hawa, Bab al-Salameh, and Tal Abyad.
On its official website, the Bab al-Hawa Border Crossing, connecting Turkey to the HTS-held areas in Idlib province, recorded that the Turkish authorities forcibly returned 100872 Syrian refugees, among them women and children, between 2019 and 2021.
Media outlets run by the Bab al-Salamah Border Crossing, which connects Turkey to the Euphrates Shield strip, encompassing Jarabulus, Azaz, and al-Bab, published similar statistics. However, the outlets provide the numbers under the label "people who voluntarily returned" and distinguish this group from the group who returned "after trying to enter Turkey illegally." The outlets are likely working under the directives of the border officials, who must be avoiding mentioning the issue of deportations openly, concerned over the growing Turkish military influence in the area. The crossing's administration documented the forcible return of 47310 persons to Syria between 2019 and 2021.
One of the sources STJ interviewed in November 2021 estimated the number of people forcibly returned through the border every month. The source said:
"Every month, approximately 400 people are deported from Turkey to Syria through the Bab al-Salameh border crossing. The majority are forcibly returned. Over the course of my work, I noticed that barely 25% of the deported people returned voluntarily and because it was what they wanted. Regardless, most people were forced to return."
The Tal Abyad Border Crossing, which links Turkey to the Peace Spring strip, started publishing data nearly a year after Turkey occupied areas across Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ayn/Serê Kaniyê. Like the administration of Bab al-Salameh, the administration of the border labels the deportations using the term "voluntary returns", fearing to use open and clear-cut tags to describe the situation, given the Turkish presence in the area. The border documented the deportation of 9344 refugees to Syria between mid-2020 and 2021.
For further details, STJ reached out to one of the border's officials. He narrated:
"The border did not receive many deported/forcibly returned refugees because the deported were chiefly people that Turkish authorities consider problematic, for security or criminal reasons. During our work, we noticed that Turkey did not deport people to the Peace Spring Strip because they consider it a safe zone and would not want anything to cause problems there."
"Deportations and the border crossings through which the deported would be sent are decided by the Department of Immigration in Ankara. The department often chooses Bab al-Hawa because it is a humanitarian crossing and it leads to Idlib, which is not under Turkey's control."

TEMPOGRAPHY TALK WITH ANTHONY BANNWART
The presentation and the discussion with Anthony Bannwart in /+/ Sklada and artnewscafe aim to provide information and trigger the production of new videos, at attracting new participants: active or potential video artists to submit videos for "Tempography".
The discussions are part of the exhibition TEMPOGRAPHY by Anthony Bannwart and Magnus Aronson within the "Meeting Point – Guest" program of Vaska Emanouilova Gallery, 16th of April – 15th of May, 2011, Sofia
Founded in 2003 by the Swiss artist Anthony Bannwart and by the Swedish artist Magnus Aronson, "Tempography" is a non-commercial conceptual video art project – an archive of minimalist videos. The project works as an open space for participation and exchange, as a collection gathered by means of open calls. The project "Tempography" was presented through exhibitions with workshops in London, Stockholm, Seoul and Hanoi.
"Tempography" is composed of "Tempographs" – single silent moving image shots which can be considered as brief visual impacts captured from everyday surroundings. Tempographs are different observational points-of-views, a minimalist poetic documentary of an atmosphere, an artistic research into "time" and "movement".
What is a "Tempograph" and how to make a "Tempograph":
The technical aspects of the video are: the steadiness of the camera, the absence of narrative, effects, or inner editing, a single silent moving image shot, without any cuts or fades, the colour balance/intensity and the brightness/contrast may be adjusted, although not to the extent that the shot looks processed. A "Tempograph" is limited between 3 and 30 seconds and the tempo must be real-time. The narrative must be minimal and "extra-filmic".
Code: In order to relate each "Tempograph" with its author, time of capture and duration, there is an individual code assigned to each one of them, for example T3.HON.CH.02.26.
The three letters HON stand for the author – Anthony Bannwart; 02 – the year of capture: 2002; 26. – seconds of duration; T and the number afterwards stand for the number of "Tempographs" a given author has provided the whole project with; the author's country is marked with abbreviations as in the web: CH – Switzerland, KR – Korea, VT – Vietnam, DE – Germany, BG – Bulgaria.
The presentation and the discussion with Anthony Bannwart in /+/ Sklada and artnewscafe aim at providing information and triggering the production of new videos, at attracting new participants: active or potential video artists to submit videos for "Tempography".
The collected videos will be included into the project's archive and presented within the exhibition "Tempography" in Vaska Emanouilova Gallery, Sofia from the 16th of April until the 15th of May.
Anthony Bannwart, born in Switzerland, studied later in Germany, and Fine Art in Film and Video at Central St. Martins College in London. He is dedicated to ongoing interdisciplinary projects, exploring their quadri-dimensionality with a methodology that is consisted of personal perspectives through fictional archives, archival materials, performative installations, videos, texts, drawings, or objects interspersed with historical, social, and artistic practices, often enriched by collaborations. The transitive nature of each whole, the recognition of Time, the opposite poles, the oscillation of points-of-views at play in each project, and the vernacular dialogue between the interdisciplinary parts are defining his practice. Among Anthony Bannwart's realization are "A ses parents – variations autour de Le Corbusier" (2006 – 2007), as well as "Blue Sacred Mark Project", initiated in 2008 by a dialogue with Nam June Paik Art Center's curators. In 2003 together with Magnus Aronson he started the project Tempography, which was first shown as an urban intervention on built-in public screens in more than 200 buses in London and Birmingham over 2 months 24/7. The project was exhibited later in Stockholm (2006), Seoul (2008), Hanoi (2009) alongside workshops. After a participation at the 2010 Videoholica International Video Art Festival in Varna, Tempography is presented in Sofia with an exhibition-office of the project at Vaska Emanouilova Gallery, where the artist is present for discussions and workshops, and with two public screenings and talks, organized by Open Arts Foundation at Sklada, Sofia and at artnewscafe, Plovdiv.
The visual identity of the project in Sofia and the design of Tempography's office are made by Poststudio, in collaboration with Collective Transformatori.
The project is carried out with the kind support of the Embassy of Switzerland in Bulgar

Sitting here watching the World Series got me to thinking about what cards from these two teams I used to own at one time. After some looking, I didn't see much Phillies stuff so I figured I'd drop in a few Rays cards that I had at one time.
Obviously I'm feeling like a moron for selling the Longoria Bowman Sterling autographed card. And yes, it was the refractor version. But before you call me an idtiot, I had it sent to BGS and it came back as an "8". I was very disappointed in that and decided to cut my losses with it.
The other card from that set that I kinda wish I had back was the Ben Zobrist White Whale 1/1 from the 2007 Triple Threads. No, I'm not on crack. Zobrist is a local kid and now I wish I would have kept it.
Another baseball season brings us another edition of Upper Deck's SP Authentic Baseball. This year Upper Deck decided to ship their product during the playoffs instead of after the playoffs to build off a successful baseball season and take advantage of all the post season hype. UD touts 3 autographs per box (1 By the Letter, 1 Rookie auto, and 1 other).
Personally, I'm not a big set builder so you're not going to see my talk about base cards in my reviews. Let's talk about the good stuff.
By the Letter – The By the Letter cards return yet again this year in SP. If you're not familiar with the BTL cards, they are manufactured patch cards that are signed by the players. When these letters were originally intorduced in 2006 they just spelled the player's last name. Starting last year, UD decided to add in new letter combinations to spell things like "Rookie" or the team name and city. It appears that they continued with that this year as you can see from the Chad Billingsley card to the right. It appears that this year you can chance down your favorite player's first name as well. The checklist for the BTL cards features many new subjects but sadly also features players who have been done before.
Rookie Autographs – This year UD included rookie autograph cards. When I first heard this, I thought it was a good idea. Who wouldn't like serial numbered rookie autograph cards? Then, I got a look at them. Yikes! Talk about stupid card design….look at that travesty to the left!! There isn't a hotter rookie out there than Evan Longoria, but would you actually want that card? The stupid window cuts off parts of the signature. And Longoria isn't the only player who has his signature cut. If you scan all the cards out there now, this is very common.
In addition to the regular rookie autograph card, there are Rookie autograph jersey and patch cards. Unfortunately, these cards feature the same window for the autographs and you run the same risk of the signature being cut off. Most of the jersey cards are your plain single color swatches with the occasional pinstripe. The patches I've seen so far have been pretty good (the Bruce card to the right notwithstanding) and feature multiple colors. My only gripe is that the windows are small and don't give them a chance to show off some of the patch pieces.
Best Hits? – If you're breaking this product, there are a lot of "hit" cards that you will pull that won't bring much on the secondary market. For the rookies, your biggest hits are going to be Evan Longoria, Jay Bruce, Kosuke Fukudome, and Joey Votto. On the BTL side, players like Billy Wagner, Jim Thome, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Alfonso Soriano, and Ching-Ming Wang are ridiculously short printed.
Overall Opinion – To me, I would avoid breaking this product by the box or case. I just don't see the value there from the cards that are pulled. The BTL cards have lost their luster and people don't chase them like they used to. Even some of the BTL cards from the 2006 and 2007 series can be had for very cheap. It's time to retire this idea. The rookie autograph checklist is lame. Other than the ones I mentioned above, many of the others have next to no hobby value at all. Where's Clayton Kershaw? I don't see him on Upper Deck's checklist at all. The addition of the USA Under-18 team autographs are nice but I don't know how valuable they will end up being.
I give this a DON'T BREAK / JUST BUY SINGLES grade.

Rural Bank would like to advise customers that the ATM sharing arrangement between Bendigo Bank and Suncorp Bank has been terminated due to Suncorp entering into a new ATM partnership with the rediATM scheme.
What does this mean for Rural Bank customers?
Our customers wishing to access funds via a Suncorp ATM will now encounter a $2 service fee.
Our customers will continue to be provided with fee-free ATM transactions at Bendigo Bank ATMs.
We understand that not all customers have a Bendigo Bank ATM nearby, and this is why Rural Bank offers a monthly account rebate on selected accounts to offset any ATM direct changes that customers may incur.
In addition, with Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB abolishing foreign ATM fees in October last year, every Rural Bank customer can use these ATMs without incurring a fee.
Customers experiencing problems accessing ATMs or with any questions regarding this, should contact our Customer Service Team on 1300 660 115 or visit your nearest branch. To view the Bendigo Bank ATM locations, visit the ATM locator page.


So, it's National Poetry Month.
But, I'm a creative(ish) geek, and I wanted to generate a sonnet this month. Not "write" a sonnet - that's not along the directions of any talents I have. Instead, I intended to write a program that would spit out candidate text conforming with the constraints of a formal kind of poetry.
My first inclination was to generate a sonnet somehow, complete with the rhyme scheme that Shakespeare used in his sonnets. Also, Iambic pentameter. Cause that's poetry. I was thinking of sifting through my LJ posts, treating it as a long stream of text, cutting it into lines of 10 syllables, filtering those for the right cadence, and then pairing up rhyming lines.
That's a lot of work, and I've been busy.
Plan B was to punt on the sonnet form. I had made some progress on pulling down my posts and could have found some lines matching the beat of a sonnet. But I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to make an entire sonnet, much less one that actually flowed. So, I thought about walking through a bunch of Project Gutenberg's public domain literature and generate a limerick. A lot more source material, a substantially simpler rhyme scheme, but still way too much work.
... which has interesting elements. The lust/confessed pair seems meaningful, but the verse as a whole fails to seem like something that a person would write.
Perhaps I'll come back to this project and try to get more legible strings of words. Perhaps I'll actually get rhyming and meter in.
Or, perhaps, I'll wait until next April for National Poetry Month 2009.
Or just revise your opinion of your own sonnet-generation skills. I refuse to believe a nonsentient microcomputer can do better than you can in this area.

Q: The ambiguity of 'Noun + Photographer' while addressing the photographer We use nouns + photographer to mean that the photographer masters the photography in that noun.
Say -

Wildlife photographer (the photographer masters wildlife photography)

But then, when I try this with other examples, it creates ambiguity.

Baby photographer (ambiguous - a photographer is a baby?)

Or..

Nude photographer (the photographer is nude?)

How to convey this clearly that the former one is a photographer master in taking babies' photos and the latter in nudes.

A: I think this is a somewhat moot question.
English, like many other languages has no fixed rules about the formation of compound nouns. My favourite example is chocolate biscuits vs. dog biscuits - one is made with, the other made for.
So the only safe way of being absolutely unambiguous is omitting the compound entirely and replacing it with a short clause that expresses the relation that is lost in the compound:

A photographer specialized in [clearly described topic].

But honestly, usually a benevolent reader/listener would infer from the context what is meant. Both babies/animals taking pictures and photographers working in the buff are very, very rare.

A: This is the sort of ambiguity in language that is often used as the basis of a joke. Indeed one of your examples is very similar to a joke in a book I have on the shelf:

Couple meets at a party. She: "So what do you do?" He: "I'm a painter." She: "Oh really? Do you do any nude painting?" He: "Well, sometimes, but usually I wear a smock."

Similarly, there's the classic joke, "I'm a criminal lawyer." "Isn't that redundant? All lawyers are criminals."
Etc.
In practice, it's usually obvious what is meant. A "baby photographer" is almost certainly a photographer who takes pictures of babies and not a baby who takes pictures, for the obvious reason that few babies can handle a camera skillfully. Etc.
I suppose I can think of cases where it would really be ambiguous. Is a "female photographer" a female who takes photographs or someone who takes photographs of females? I'd normally assume the first, but either is possible. If you're worried that it's ambiguous, then you simply add extra words to clarify. "The photographer, who was female, received an award", or "The photographer, who takes pictures of females, received an award." Etc.

A: Without venturing into the humorous side of this post, which is well-covered in other answers, I'd like to offer some alternatives, which could be less ambiguous.

Tim is a six-month-old photographer.  (= He is six months old.)
Kate is a baby photo photographer.   (= She is specialized in baby photo shoots.)
Pete is a nude model photographer.  (= His profession is taking photographs of nude models.)
James is a nude female model photographer.   (= Same as Pete, but more specific.)
Jake is a naked photographer.      (= He doesn't wear any clothes while shooting.)
Jake is a photographer wearing no clothes in shooting.   (= Similar, just more mouthful.)

The above examples only demonstrate some possibilities how we can be more specific while still phrasing our idea as a noun phrase. The last example (a photographer wearing no clothes in shooting) is still a noun phrase, but it's similar to Jay's example: The photographer, who takes pictures of females, received an award. Obviously, we can be more specific about our ideas in many ways. Usually, the longer, the more specific.

Language is about communication. In conversation, we talk cooperatively. (Thus writing is harder. According to Stephen King, "Writing is telepathy.") The cooperative principle describes how people interact with one another. Jeffries and McIntyre describe Grice's Maxims as "encapsulating the assumptions that we prototypically hold when we engage in conversation".
One maxim, Maxim of Quantity, says that we should contribute only what is required, not more. In general, your listeners or readers would understand your baby photographer and nude photographer just fine. Why? Because it's the most logical interpretation in most circumstances.
Grice's Maxims allow us to be concise. (In fact, one of the maxims, Maxim of Manner, requires us to do so: be perspicuous; be unobscured, be unambiguous, be brief, and be orderly.)

On the other hand, as noted in Wikipedia, "Many times in conversation, this flouting is manipulated by a speaker to produce a negative pragmatic effect, as with sarcasm or irony. [...] The Gricean Maxims are therefore often purposefully flouted by comedians and writers, who may hide the complete truth and manipulate their words for the effect of the story and the sake of the reader's experience."
Likewise, our listeners or readers can deliberately choose not to cooperate. As you note that baby photographer could be understood as a photographer who is a baby, rather than a photographer who takes photographs of babies. Tim is a six-month-old photographer can be reinterpreted as Tim only acts as if he was a photographer; he just plays with a camera, and never takes a single photo shot. Or in Kate is a baby photo photographer, it could be reinterpreted as Kate is a gynecology doctor who takes gynecologic ultrasonography regularly.
It's true that too few words can result in ambiguity.
It's also true that too many words can result in inefficiency and being less effective.
Thus, it's reasonable to try to strike a balance between using too many and too few words.

A: I do not know how it is in English, but judging from the analogy from Russian, I would use female-photographer for a photographer who is female and female's photographer for a photographer of women. Similarly I would use child-photographer for a photographer who is a child and children's photographer for a photographer who makes photographer who makes photos of children.

Job training was a new concept in Uganda, now it's a priority in the tourism sector
The VET Toolbox is supporting the work of the Tourism and Hospitality Sector Skills Council in Uganda. This is the story of the chairperson of the council, Herbert Byaruhanga.
Herbert Byaruhanga, was born in the countryside of Western Uganda just beside the Queen Elisabeth National Park.'My parents were peasants and had little money. I was going in and out of school depending on the money available. Life was not easy, but my parents wanted their children to have access to education,' said Herbert.
'Thanks to my savings, I moved to Kampala to study tourism. My passion for tourism in general, and for birds in particular, has been part of me since I was a child. Uganda has wonderful nature to offer with one of the biggest varieties of birds in the world. Can you imagine how inspirational that is for someone passionate about nature?
Since my early childhood, my dream was to go to university and work in the tourism industry. My only chance to make it was to stay focussed and save money to continue to go to school and get skilled. Thanks to my motivation and my savings, I moved to Kampala when I finished college and studied tourism for three years. When I completed my degree, I came across a vacancy for a tourist guide driver for which I applied. It was a quite competitive selection process.

I was part of the 12 selected candidates on 150 applicants getting trained for a whole month. At the end of the training, they selected four people: two on a temporary basis and two on a permanent basis. I was lucky enough to receive a permanent contract. That is how I joined the tourism industry in Uganda and made my dream come true. It took me some time to promote the importance of skilling people in my country, but it was worth it.'
'The business potential of the tourism sector in Uganda is huge, but the sector is not yet structured enough to live up to its potential. That is why I decided to establish my own association of guides. I learned at university how to organise trainings and I started to organise my own training for Ugandans interested in becoming tourist guides. At that time, job training was a new concept in the country and there was no money from the Government to support it. I had to work very hard to get support from outside.

Thanks to the support of the European Union and other organisations, I managed to continue organising the job training programmes. After a few years, the Ugandan government realised that skills development in the tourism sector should be a priority as it brings a lot of income to Uganda and has the potential to create many jobs. In all these years I kept advocating for the importance of skilling people in the tourism sector in my country as I strongly believe in it.
With the support of the VET Toolbox, we have organised a 3-day training to make the tourism Sector Skills council more operational.'
'I can say that we have come even closer to making the Tourism Sector Skills Council in Uganda operational. With the support of the VET Toolbox, we have organised a 3-day training to make an action plan and support the continuous establishment of a secretariat to handle the day-to-day business of the Tourism and Hospitality Sector Skills Council. Representatives from the private sector, ministries, trade unions, civil society organisations and VET trainers working in the sector of tourism and hospitality participated in the workshop that was facilitated by Enabel, with support of British Council, both implementing partners of the VET Toolbox. This is a very important step towards building sustainability for the future in the tourism sector in Uganda, now we need to continue.'

China Forbes joined Pink Martini in 1995 after her old Harvard classmate, Thomas Lauderdale, called her asking to be a part of the group. The two immediately began to write songs together.
With an eclectic charm and repertoire spanning from jazz to classical to pop, Pink Martini — the self-described "little orchestra" — featuring singer China Forbes returns to Grass Valley on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
This performance will feature tracks from their 2010 holiday album, "Joy to the World," with classics like "White Christmas" alongside Hebrew prayers, Chinese New Year tunes and a samba-inspired version of "Auld lang syne" as well as crowd favorites from the band's other non-holiday albums.
"I love the holidays and all the music that goes with it. We strove to make an inclusive and non-denominational album that could be played anywhere in the world. There are 14 songs on "Joy to the World" including well-known traditional holiday songs like Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas' sung by China Forbes in English and by the incredible Saori Yuki, 'the Barbra Streisand of Japan,' in Japanese," said Bandleader Thomas Lauderdale.
In 1994 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale was working in politics, thinking that one day he would run for mayor.
Like other eager politicians-in-training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun … but was dismayed to find the music at these events underwhelming, lackluster, loud and un-neighborly.
Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world — crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop — and hoping to appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, he founded the "little orchestra" Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks.
One year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a Harvard classmate who was living in New York City, and asked her to join Pink Martini. They began to write songs together.
Their first song "Sympathique" became an overnight sensation in France, was nominated for "Song of the Year" at France's Victoires de la Musique Awards, and to this day remains a mantra ("Je ne veux pas travailler" or "I don't want to work") for striking French workers.


This is a great nebulizer! I use it to deliver Asthmanefrin since their nebulizer is problematic. I don't have to worry about mechanical failure or dead batteries with this manual nebulizer. The Asthmanefrin works great without any additional saline.
This product doesn't even deserve 1 star. For starters, the medication never even reached the mouthpiece, it all just beaded up onto the plastic neck with not even a hint of beading at the mouthpiece. Second, after pumping a handful of times the rubber pump began leaking, wasting all of my medication. I was hoping for a good alternative to my electronic nebulizer and this was not it.
Great nebulizer! Works well with my asthma medication, even when I only put a small amount in it. I'm buying another for my son!
DeVilbiss Lexan - Manual Plastic Nebulizer/Atomizer is a lightweight, manual nebulizer that fits in the palm of your hand. This nebulizer/atomizer dispenses fine mists of uniform particle size for deposition in and on lung tissues. Nebulizer is made of durable plastic and is break-resistant. Ideal for use by patients needing aerosolized medications. Can be used as a backup nebulizer in the event of a power failure or during travel and outdoor activities. Atomizes and Nebulizes. Mass median aerosol particle diameter = 5 microns. 5cc capacity. Includes mouthpiece, bulb, extra jet and instructions.
Note: Requires 1.5 - 2.0 cc of liquid to atomize/nebulize correctly. Consider adding normal saline such as Hudson RCI - AddiPak Unit Dose Saline (HUD20039BOX), or other diluent, when delivering very small volumes of medication. If you are unsure, ask your Physician or Pharmacist.

Each fall, as the colors turn and the air becomes more chill and crisp, I'm reminded of my days in my local 4-H club—the Plum Valley Boosters. New members joined the club each fall, when members chose their project or projects for the next year.
As I grew older, I took on more 4-H projects. In addition to dairy, I enrolled in macramé (hey, it was the late 1970s, and that craft was all the rage), farm safety, and tractor maintenance.
The tractor maintenance projects were designed to add to the basic mechanical knowledge that most farm kids already had and to channel that knowledge into handling even more of the regular maintenance and upkeep of parents' machinery. I was already doing some basic equipment maintenance for Dad. That included greasing bearings, checking oil levels in the tractors, and changing the oil when needed. Now, with the tractor maintenance books, I took an interest in additional duties such as checking and cleaning air filters and oil filters on each tractor.
Each summer, Great-Uncle Raymond Brewer would spend an evening helping me finish my tractor maintenance project for the year. He was a great resource.
That task was different for each tractor. On our John Deere 2640 Utility and our John Deere 4240, the air filters were easy to service, because they were paper filters that captured dust before it mixed with the fuel in the engine. All I had to do was remove them from their compartment and tap them gently on the tractor tire to knock out some of the dirt. Then, I'd use a nozzle on our air compressor to blow out even more dirt before reinstalling each filter.
On our John Deere 3020, the service was more complicated. There was a dust bowl on the top of the tractor to catch the biggest particles, and its clear plastic design allowed the operator to see when it needed to be removed in order to shake out the dirt. After that initial "filter," the air was drawn through an oil-bath cleaner to catch the smaller dust particles—and the bowl that filled with that polluted oil was no fun to clean.
After removing the bowl from the tractor and dumping the black oil in a pail, I had to use a flat-headed screwdriver to gently scrape the caked-on dirt from the bottom of the bowl. By now, my hands were coated in dirty oil. Then, I'd pour the correct amount of fresh oil into the bowl and carefully reinstall it at the bottom of the oil bath. It was easy to tip and spill oil during this process, and that meant the need to refill to proper levels yet again.
While the 2640, 3020, and 4240 burned diesel fuel, for a few years we also had a John Deere 2520 gas tractor. That added a new aspect of tractor maintenance—the gas-fuel filter. That little glass bowl and its components were pretty to look at but easy to get out of alignment.
I kept track in a notebook of what I had done on each tractor throughout the project year, and then I transferred that information to the project book, when it was time for the county fair in August. In addition to keeping track of maintenance performed, I had to provide a photo display of my work.
When Great-Uncle Raymond needed to consider a complex question raised in the tractor maintenance book, he would need a pipe of Velvet-brand tobacco. Note the ashtray and matches at the ready.
The last part of each tractor maintenance book included a number of questions that were supposed to involve basic mechanical properties. While I tried my best to answer them, there were a few stumpers that were based on much older tractors than those we had on our farm at the time. Fortunately, Great-Uncle Raymond Brewer was familiar with those tractors and helped me with those questions.
I treasured those evenings spent at our kitchen table, with Uncle Raymond puffing on his pipe and laughing at the questions that were supposed to be designed for an adolescent beginner and were more tailored to a shop mechanic with years of experience. I wish I still had the books so I could share a few here.
Those years of tractor maintenance paid off with several blue ribbons at the county fair and even a trip to Madison, Wisconsin, one summer for a 4-H Congress. That expedition included tours of several types of energy-generating plants in the area, including University of Wisconsin-Madison's small nuclear reactor.
Did any of you take a tractor maintenance project in 4-H, FFA, or another farm-related club? Share your memories in the comments below.

Donald Trump Once Wanted a 'Blacks vs Whites' Version of 'The Apprentice' [Audio]
May 20, 2016 11:13 AM PST
If you thought Donald Trump couldn't get any more ridiculous…think again.
In 2005, Donald Trump spoke to Howard Stern and brought up the idea of having his show, The Apprentice, do a version where Black contestants competed against white contestants.
Mr. Trump literally wanted to put 'highly educated' Blacks vs. whites in a televised competition and thought it would be the highest rated show on television.
via Buzzfeed:
"On The Apprentice there was a concept, okay, thrown out by some person, nine blacks against nine whites," said Trump. "And it would be nine blacks against nine whites, all highly educated, very smart, strong, beautiful. Do you like it? Do you like it, Robin?"
"I think you're gonna have a riot," Stern co-host Robin Quivers said, after Stern said he liked the idea.
"It would be the highest-rated show on television," interjected Trump.
Stern went on to ask Trump a series of questions.
"Very dark blacks, or light-skinned blacks?" Stern asked.
"Assortment," Trump responded, "against whites."
When a laughing Quivers asked how many blondes, Trump added he wanted all nine whites to be blonde.
"This was a thought that was given to us, and I don't think NBC is thrilled with the idea, with the concept," says Trump.
"Wouldn't that set off a racial war?" asks Stern.
"Actually, I don't think it would," responded Trump. "I think it would be handled very beautifully by me. Because, as you know, I'm very diplomatic… Also, I think you'd have 35 million people a night watching."
Stern said that on some level the idea was wrong, but he'd watch it. "You'd have to, because you want to know when the riots start," Quivers said.
"There's something wrong with it, but I don't know, maybe we should think about it," Trump said.
Listen to the audio below. This man can NOT be president of the United States.

Not much activity around here these days, but thought I would post anyway. Want to start by saying how much I have appreciated Morgan's JBidWatcher, it's done a great job for me for many years now. I truly hope he can find time to continue to at least keep JBW updated to work with eBay's never-ending changes.
I believe it was several months ago that "Get My eBay Items" stopped working. Sniping seems to be working OK still though. I'm still able to manually add an auction by item number, so it it's not the end of the world, but sure makes things a bit more inconvenient. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions to fix it if it's just me?

Hurtigruten says its new hybrid powered ship, Roald Amundsen, will be the first ship in history named in Antarctica.
The vessel, which uses sustainable technology such as battery packs and specially designed ice-strengthened hulls, completed its sea trial in February. Hurtigruten says the ship is custom built for some of the toughest waters on the planet.
The naming of a vessel is typically celebrated with a bottle of champagne, but Roald Amundsen will be named with a chunk of ice in honor of its explorer heritage. The naming ceremony will commence in fall.

The Roald Amundsen naming ceremony will honor Roald Amundsen, an explorer who led the first expedition to navigate the Northwest Passage. He was also the first person to reach both the North and South Poles.
Roald Amundsen switched the traditional bottle of champagne for a chunk of ice when christening his notable expedition ship "Maud" in 1917. Before crushing the ice against its bow, he stated:
"It is not my intention to dishonor the glorious grape, but already now you shall get the taste of your real environment. For the ice you have been built, and in the ice, you shall stay most of your life, and in the ice, you shall solve your tasks."
Hurtigruten and its upcoming godmother ship will use the same ritual when naming Roald Amundsen.
