What babies do in womb?

Babies in the womb just don’t sit idle, they are doing so much in learning within the mom. They are learning to move their fingers, limbs, toes, sucking their thumb. At times, they are dreaming and yawning etc.

Self - awareness test of the baby

Performing the self - awareness test of the baby is quite simple. If you put a red dot on the baby’s forehead and show him the mirror, notice what he does. If they rub the dot, they are aware, else not.

Swallow V/s Breathe

Normally people cannot breathe and or swallow at the same time, whereas babies are able to swallow as well as breathe at the same time. Hence now you know why a baby is able to drink milk that fast and breathe quickly at the same time.

2 teaspoons Gallanggal powder*
2 teaspoons Coriander
1 cup all purpose flour
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cannola oil for frying

Over 1,000 turn out for protest rally

Over 1,000 people turned out for the Mega Rally at Barn Elms Sports Fields on Saturday April 27, protesting against the plans to build a third runway at Heathrow.

The rally, organised by Richmond MP Zac Goldsmith, was addressed by 21 MPs, MEPs and councillors from Richmond, Hounslow, Ealing and Putney. The leading address was made by London Mayor Boris Johnson.

The good-natured crowd was rallied by local Barnes TV personality and former Tory MP Gyles Brandreth. Several protesters turned up in costume, and one, clad in a rather sinister white rabbit suit, looks set to be immortalised in photos next to Boris Johnson in a future edition of 'Have I Got News For You.'

At the end of the rally visitors were entreatied to vote in the Richmond Council referendum and sign a giant petition.

Work: Finding It Cheap

Work: Finding It Cheap

There is many fallacies together with misconceptions that others trust regularise these way on-line slots work. You may are one those who absolutely adore the very thought of winning cash originating from a on the internet slot machine game piece of equipment but have no idea precisely how these people operate. In most web based port performance, there’s a pc ingredient routinely categorised as the Random Phone number Generator (RNG), the main purpose that is certainly to make unchosen sequences throughout periods to a millisecond from day to night, any day. Typically the RNGs always produce random and different combination of amounts when most people click on the spin and rewrite and option potential button. Any Random Figure Creator is employed to virtually all online casinos to determine the outcome of many internet based slot machine games many people offer. These types of results are typically reliant on a blend of algorithms and also RNG computer software, as well as scalping systems only find out the results of every rewrite you bet on — the last hype or perhaps re-writes are usually immaterial towards the actual end result connected with any spin.

It’s exceedingly important to that video slot machine game doesn’t have the memory. Neither of them these arbitrary telephone number creator none almost every other area of the video slot machine sport has learned whether or not you will have won substantial and / or missing big. It’s rarely receptive to whether you may have stood non-stop not having a person be successful with or whether mobile computer success a good jackpot. A person’s circumstances is normally decided by positive precise equations, and then the time you’ll enlightened an important have fun set, them is instantly determined through RNG. You will need to take note of the fact that connection between your online slot machines re-writes are certainly not pre-programmed to assist you to succumb specific results.

As you resume some sort of hype for a respectable slot machine pastime, typically the RNG takes place spitting through whole volumes, found at the velocity of hundreds in each second. No matter what wide variety this RNG is undoubtedly concerning at the moment a person push any computer mouse button finds out exactly what icons the reels will certainly ground on. Consequently, all basically this impacts end result from your angle is undoubtedly deciding on just what subsequently to help click the mouse. From the moment everyone squeeze the start control key on a three-reel position pastime, for instance, several phone numbers really are announced out of your wheres the gold video game here: RNG (one for every single reel). The pioneer digit ascertains the initial reel’azines stance, the other finds out the other reel’vertisements position, not to mention the 3rd can determine thirdly reel’azines job, in addition to the same is true with respect to five-reel casino wars and various video slot machine sport variations.

Online video slots offer typically 50 man or woman paylines, although usually approximately 100 and / or more. The time you’ll marketing these have fun press button, typically the packages pull 5 unchosen phone numbers every regarding each and every reel. The baitcasting reel quantities will quit according to volumes the fact that every one has been recently assigned by your Randomly Figure Generator.The product, hence, rather quickly compute typically the advanced arithmetic in back of a succeed or perhaps deprivation as soon as the last keel stops. Typically the prizes are instantly and automatically summed in place to the balance. In instances where Totally free Moves will be granted or even an additional benefit circle is usually initiated, the actual reels rewrite regularly through the same Hit-or-miss Phone number Creator process.

It Was A Wee Bit Early

The day after Thanksgiving, I could no longer hold the twins back from putting up the Christmas tree. In hindsight, Little Man is a little young & grabby, and there is a lot of December left until I can take it down and no longer worry about broken bulbs being brought to me by tiny hands. (No Touching The Tree! Sheesh!)

It looks rather odd, but if you blur the scene enough, then all the holiday wonder really starts to show.

We have corralled the tree around a fence, which Little Man has put a crack in. And in two days, some ornaments have already gone missing. I'm reluctantly considering a pop-up tree like this... no matter how comical/pathetic it may be.

The Digital Fabric of Fake News

This talk presents a unifying explanation of the use of digital technology in promulgating fake news, "alt-facts", lies and other sundry forms of disinformation. It will be shown that while cyberspace didn't create this problem (it has been with us forever) it exacerbated and weaponized it. This was made most clear in the US presidential election of 2016. It will also be argued that fact checking, while a necessary public good, is no match for weaponized cyber-propaganda as it's pointless to direct the results at those who can't change their mind and won't change the subject. Instead, it will be argued that our primary focus should be on developing a set of online tools that facilitate the fact-checking process while at the same time taking full advantage of the capability of the deep web. This talk will also cover the interplay of Alt-News, Post-Truth, Fake News, lies and an occasional truth in modern political discourse.

The Digital Assault on Privacy

George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are frequently mentioned in the context of the recent spate of surveillance leaks from the NSA. While both Orwell and Huxley feared big government and big controls, they feared it for different reasons. This difference will set the tone for this talk.

We will begin with the history of the U.S. involvement in surveillance, from the early analog days to the latest digital technologies. We'll explain the motivations, technologies and civil libertarian consequences of some noteworthy surveillance programs like Echelon, Carnivore, Narusinsight, Magic Lantern, ThinThread, Trailblazer, Stellar Wind/Ragtime, and TAO (Tailored Access Operations) to name but a few. The speaker will also cover corporate surveillance by high tech companies and cyber intelligence mercenaries. The speaker will conclude with speculation on future directions for government and private surveillance programs the privacy implications that will arise therefrom. (50 slides; 45-50 minutes plus Q&A: categories: digital security and privacy, privacy legislation, privacy safeguards, personally identifiable information,)

The Modern Surveillance State

This talk will provide a partial answer to the question "How did we get to the modern surveillance state?" We'll show that this was the confluence of a variety of ideological, political, technological, and corporate interests, dating back to the turn of the last century. Critical events included the rapid evolution of the military-industrial complex, the race toward privatization of government intelligence services that gave rise to the corporate "pure plays" that feed almost entirely from the federal trough, an iron triangle that ensures that the alliances between for-profit corporations and the government agencies they serve remain tightly coupled, and a reactive, over-zealous Executive Branch that's too willing to eschew civil liberties to achieve a false sense of security. This talk will argue that the modern surveillance state actually makes us less secure than we could be with constitutionally-compatible, more cost-effective programs digital programs that are technologically within our grasp. Note: expansion of speaker's two columns in the February, 2014 LINK and June, 2014 LINK issues of IEEE Computer. (50 slides; 45-50 minutes plus Q&A: categories: digital security and privacy, digital surveillance, intelligence services)

Technology and Survivable Journalism

To paraphrase media theorist Neil Postman, George Orwell feared the end of a free press while Aldous Huxley feared that there would be no one who would want to read. This characterizes one dimension of the Orwell/Huxley dystopia predicted by 1984 and Brave New World. In this talk, I'll attempt to place one dimension of this dystopia in a technological framework.

The received view of modern journalism goes something like this: recent technology advances are rendering traditional print media-based journalism impotent and as a consequence future jobs in journalism will require increased technical and IT skills. On this account, computing technology will come to the rescue of journalism as it becomes net-centric. Far from helping journalism out of the hole, I'll show that unless we change the course that we're heading, technology may actually make the hole deeper.

Journalism since Watergate has become more dramaturgic, orchestrated, undifferentiated, and uninspired. Independent newspaper publishers and media outlets are harder to find these days. And as time has shown, investigative journalism is not the ideal manservant to global corporate interests. Investigative journalism is losing out to agenda-based and stakeholder-friendly reporting. That worries me - but not nearly as much as the threat to the journalists, themselves. To illustrate, consider that the only individual to go to jail over the recent outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame was a NY Times reporter who covered the story - for failing to disclose her sources!

In this talk I'll outline ways in which computing technology may be used by and for journalists to protect themselves from persecution and prosecution in journalistically hostile environments. note: related to the speaker's column of the same name in the May, 2013 issue of IEEE Computer LINK

The Future of Digital Money Laundering

This talk investigates several types of digital money laundering, characterized by source (failed states, state-aware, kleptocratic states, terrorists, extremists, and individuals), means (credit- and debit-card exploits, international funds transfers, klepto-banks, "gift-card" exploits), and purpose (terrorism, narco-trafficking, electronic crime, internet fraud). These categories are introduced by their identifying events-of-interest. Implications on shadow economies, degrees of sophistication, and case studies are discussed.  Each crime will be explicitly linked geographically and politically to sources, and may include discussion of actual cases. Several micro- and macro-level mitigation strategies will be discussed. (100 slides; 45-50 minutes plus Q&A. categories: money laundering, digital crime, digital fraud, narco-trafficking, terrorism, internet fraud. Note: based on speaker's column of the same name in the August, 2014 IEEE Computer LINK. No part of this presentation may be recorded!)

Crime.Com: post-modern criminal behavior

This talk begins with an overview of the role of crime in general, and digital crime in particular, in the shadow economies of the world. It illustrates this via a sequence of specific criminal activities that have been studied by the author.This talk will explain the latest digital crime scene in terms of sources, modus operandi, and the digital techniques involved. Examples will be drawn from actual case files and published media reports, and the techniques will be explained and in some cases actually demonstrated. Exploits include: bank card skimming, ATM hacking, digital gas pump hijacking, phishing scams, bank card brokering and internet dumpsites, hotel room invasions, physical counterfeiting, digital counterfeiting and some brute-force techniques as well. If your organization is interested in the latest digital exploits of the denizens of digital darkness, this talk is for you. Note: Based on speaker's columns, e.g., January, 2012 IEEE Computer LINK, December, 2007 Communications of the ACM LINK, and December, 2006 Communications of the ACM LINK (100 slides; 45-50 minutes plus Q&A. categories: digital crime, electronic crime, shadow economies, computer crime, hacking, bank fraud, Internet fraud. No part of this presentation may be recorded!)

Speaker will bring media to the venue on a USB memory stick and will require digital projection connected to a current Windows computer with Microsoft Office).

It’s time to stop demonizing Israel – Haaretz 08/06/2010

haaretz-150x42Of course, my position hasn’t changed. As I said the day it happened, during a fierce debate in Tel Aviv with one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s ministers, I continue to find the manner in which the assault against the Mavi Marmara and its flotilla was effected off the Gaza coast to be “stupid.”

If I’d had any remaining doubt, the inspection of the seventh boat − carried out without a trace of violence Saturday morning − would have convinced me there were other ways Israel could have operated to have kept the tactical and PR trap set by the provocateurs of Free Gaza from snapping shut, and with blood spilled.

That said and repeated, the flood of hypocrisy, bad faith and, ultimately, disinformation that seems to have just been waiting for this pretext to flow into the breach and sweep across the media worldwide − as is the case every time the Jewish state slips up and commits an error − is by no means acceptable.

The catchphrase being trotted out ad nauseum refers to the blockade imposed “by Israel.” The most elementary honesty, however, requires one to make clear that this blockade has been undertaken by both Israel and Egypt, conjointly, along the borders of the two countries that share frontiers with Gaza, and with the thinly disguised blessing of all the moderate Arab regimes. Saying the blockade has been imposed by Israel alone can only be described as disinformation. The moderate Arab regimes, of course, are only too happy to have someone else contain the influence of this armed extension, this advanced base and, perhaps one day, this aircraft-carrier of Iran in the region.

The very idea of a “total and merciless” blockade (Laurent Joffrin’s June 5 editorial in the French daily Liberation) “taking hostage the humanity [of Gaza]” (former French prime minister Dominique de Villepin in Le Monde on the same date) also constitutes disinformation. We mustn’t tire of reminding others: the blockade concerns only arms and the material needed to manufacture them. It does not prevent the daily arrival, via Israel, of between 100 and 120 trucks laden with foodstuffs, medical supplies and humanitarian goods of every kind. Humanity is not “in danger” in Gaza, and it is a lie to state that people are “dying of hunger” in the streets of Gaza City.

It is debatable whether or not a military blockade is the right course of action to weaken and, one day, bring down the fascislamist government of Ismail Haniyeh. But it is an indisputable fact that the Israelis who man the checkpoints between the territories night and day are the first to make the elementary but essential distinction between the regime (that they seek to isolate) and the population (which they are careful not to confuse with the regime, and in particular not to penalize as, once again, aid has never stopped passing into Gaza).

Disinformation: the utter silence, throughout the world, about Hamas’ incredible attitude now that the flotilla has carried out its symbolic duty − to trap the Jewish state and relaunch, as never before, the process of demonization. In other words, now that the Israelis have carried out their inspection and brought the aid cargo to those for whom it was supposedly intended, Hamas’ attitude in blocking that aid at Kerem Shalom checkpoint, allowing it to slowly rot, is met with silence.

To hell with any merchandise that has passed through the hands of Jewish customs! Chuck out the “toys” that brought tears to the eyes of good European souls, but became impure after spending too many long hours in the Israeli port of Ashdod! Gaza’s children have been used as nothing more than a human shield for the Islamist gang who took power by force three years ago, or cannon fodder or media vignettes. The children’s games or their wishes are the last thing anyone in the Strip worries about, but who says so? Who shows the slightest indignation?

Liberation recently ran an awful headline − “Israel, Pirate State” − which, if words still mean anything, can only contribute to the delegitimization of the Jewish state. Who will dare explain that, if there is a hostage-taker in Gaza, one who coldly and unscrupulously takes advantage of people’s suffering and, in particular, that of the children − in sum, a pirate − it is not Israel but Hamas?

Laughable, but given the strategic context, catastrophic disinformation was clearly seen in the speech given in Konya, in central Turkey, by a prime minister who throws in prison anyone who dares to evoke the genocide of the Armenians in public, but who has the nerve, there, before thousands of fired-up demonstrators yelling anti-Semitic slogans, to denounce Israeli “state terrorism.” Still more disinformation: the lament of the useful idiots who, before Israel did, fell into the clutches of these strange “humanitarians” who, in the case of the Turkish IHH, are Jihad enthusiasts, anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish apocalyptical fanatics, both men and women − some of whom, just days before the incident, expressed their wish to “die as martyrs.” (The Guardian, June 3; Al Aqsa TV, May 30).

How can a writer of the calibre of Sweden’s Henning Mankell allow himself to be taken advantage of this way? When he tells us he is thinking of forbidding the translation of his books into Hebrew, how can he really forget the sacrosanct distinction between a stupid or wrong-headed government and the masses of those who do not identify with it? How can a chain of cinemas (Utopia) in France decide to cancel the release of a film, “A Cinq heures de Paris,” in the same way, simply because its writer, Leonid Prudovsky, is an Israeli citizen?

Finally, the battalions of Tartuffes who regret that Israel is declining the demand for an international inquiry are disinformers as well. The truth is, once again, much simpler and more logical: What Israel is refusing is an inquiry requested by the UN Human Rights Council, where those great democrats − the Cubans, Pakistanis and Iranians − reign. What Israel does not want is a procedure of the kind that resulted in the famous Goldstone report, commissioned after Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. The five judges on that sympathetic commission − four of whom had never made a secret of their militant anti-Zionism − wrapped up 575 pages of interviews of Palestinian fighters and civilians, conducted under the watchful eye of Hamas political commissioners (an absolute and unprecedented heresy in this kind of work), in a matter of mere days.

Such a botched inquiry would amount to a masquerade of international justice, something Israel simply cannot stand for. Its conclusions would be known in advance and would only serve to haul, as usual and perfectly unilaterally, the region’s sole and unique democracy into the defendants’ dock.

One last word. For a man like me, someone who takes pride in having helped to conceive, with others, this kind of symbolic action (the boat for Vietnam; the march for the survival of Cambodia in 1979; various and sundry anti-totalitarian boycotts and, more recently, the deliberate violation of the Sudan border to break the blockade hiding the perpetration of massacres in Darfur) − in other words, for a militant of humanitarian interference and all the media fuss that goes with it, this pathetic saga has something of a caricature to it, a gloomy grimace of destiny.

But this is all the more reason not to give in. All the more reason to reject this confusing of genres, this inversion of values. All the more reason to resist this hijacking of meaning, that places the very spirit of a policy conceived to counter the intent of barbarians at their service.

Destitution of the anti-totalitarian dialectic, its imitations and its reversals. Confusion of an era when we combat democracies as if they were dictatorships or fascist states. This maelstrom of hatred and madness is about Israel. But it also concerns, as we should be well aware, some of the most precious things established in the movement of ideas in the last 30 years, especially on the left, and these are thus imperiled. A word to the wise is sufficient.

    Bonsoir Monsieur LEVY
    Mon meilleur ami qui vit à Tel Aviv e donne toujours les nouvelles de là bas, c’est à dire « légèrement  » différentes et plus complètes que ce que les médias veulent bien nous faire avaler ici. (il regarde bien sûr les informations Européennes. C’est lui qui m’a envoyé votre article, heureusement, car moi je ne l’avais pas vu.
    Je tiens à vous remercier de votre impartialité de votre cran et de votre présence tellement nécessaire et à mon avis encore trop « discrète ».
    Naturellement vous êtes souvent critiqué, et c’est forcément inévitable dans votre situation.

Child Friendly Holiday Heaven, at Holiday Village Flamingo Beach

On Sunday afternoon our family of 4 (Emma, Paul, Sam (4) and Harry (22 months)) flew home from an amazing holiday we will remember forever. From the moment we arrived at the Flamingo in Lanzarote (a perfect 26 degrees with a lovely breeze and no time change!) we were presented with canapés and drinks and made to feel so special. It was absolute paradise for kids, and lots of our enjoyment came from seeing them so happy. Here’s why we love, love loved it!

The most amazing crèche and kids club EVER!

flamingo_beach4I’m going to start with telling you about the crèche for 0-35 month olds. I was nervous about the crèche. Harry is with me all the time at home, and I didn’t know how he would take to it, but he loved it immediately. The girls were so wonderful with him, and due to the time of year (peak season for big kids but not for babies) he often had at least one nanny all to himself (the ratio is never higher than one to three). He went for two hours every day in the end, and every day I collected a giggling toddler face-painted as a pirate or painting with his hands and feet, and sometimes he was pushed around the complex in a little car, which he adored. The girls really loved Harry, and we all shed a tear when we had to say goodbye! I paid about £7.50 per 2 hour session, and Harry had a great learning experience and came home with new skills and words, which is amazing! More importantly, we got some Emma and Paul time, just to sunbathe, which is so rare, and was so wonderful.

The crèche also ran stay and play sessions for mummies and daddies to take their little ones two, and this is included in your price.

You never know how your kids will feel about going to kids club, but Sam went to little stars for 3-5 year olds 21 times during our stay, all at his request! The sessions were fabulous, he had various play and learn sessions, learning about volcanos and dinosaurs, and pirates…there was a lot of face paint involved! He also enjoyed football sessions with FA qualified coaches and art and music sessions too. The leaders were absolutely fantastic, and had so much energy for the kids. There were a total of 6 sessions a day on offer, including evening sessions. Some of the sessions are combined with the older age group so that brothers and sisters can play together. Kids clubs are free from 3-11 years.

The hotel facilities:

flamingo_beach3First and foremost I must mention how good the hotel was for helping people with little ones to get around. There were buggy ramps everywhere, and several kids there in wheelchairs, and I loved the fact that the resort was so inclusive of everybody, and so accommodating. I was never short of offers for help, ever!

Your kids could never be bored here…there was an amazing splash park, a mickey mouse little ones pool, and various other pools too. There was entertainment and games pretty much all day long, with pool parties, quizzes, skittles, painting, and songs, and on top of that you could join Stage, football or swim academy (charged locally) if you were over six. One day Paul and I had a go on the aerial assault course, which was included too, and great fun, and the boys enjoyed the widgets workshop (mini disco) in the evenings. The widgets are puppets, much like Sesame Street characters who appear at the disco and around the pool, and the kids just adore them. The also love the “Chocolate” song, which is one of HV “party dance” songs. All of this said, there were quiet areas, and the entertainment was never overwhelming.

The Blue Moon Bar hosted entertainment until 11, but our kids were too little to stay up, I heard that the Cabaret was top notch though!

The food:

Oh my gosh, I am so fat! The all inclusive food was like a dream. In the main buffet we had a great range of fresh, healthy food, with meat grilled to order, and not so healthy food like chocolate fountains, chocolate cake, ice-cream and sweeties! There was a great range for breakfast too, though I found the Belgian waffles too hard to resist! You could get popcorn and ice-cream all day long at each of the various bars, which serve on tap water, fizzy drinks, juices, slushies, teas and coffees, alcohol, you name it, they do it!! There were also some lovely a la carte choices and we especially loved the Tavern by the Sea which was simply stunning and served yummy tapas. It was so amazing.

The great thing about all inclusive is that you, as parents, get a real break. For two glorious weeks I didn’t clear up under my son’s high chair! And if there’s something they won’t eat, you have the freedom to choose something else. I also loved that Harry, being under two, was free of charge, and yet practically ate them out of house and home!

The people:

I have already mentioned the amazing kids club staff, but the “people in pink” (the reps) as a whole literally walk around all day smiling and saying hello to guests, they are so happy and ready to help with anything they possibly can. The Spanish hotel staff who run clean up in the restaurants and clean the rooms are literally heaven sent. What a job cleaning up after all of those kids, and they do it so wonderfully well!
I also want to mention the other hotel guests, who were all so lovely…it was like being part of a big family in ways with everyone looking out for each others’ kids and trying to help with buggies or passing on toys. Whilst we were there Sam inherited a boat, a lilo, and a bucket and utensils, which we were able to pass on when we left!

The hotel is superbly located right on a beautiful pure sand beach with turquoise waters which we enjoyed immensely! It is very pretty, with sugar cube apartments and bungalows. There were plenty of excursions to take but we didn’t really need them, we were so busy at the hotel!

The Accommodation:

The accommodation has been newly refurbished and is lovely. Paul and I had a lovely spacious bedroom, and Sam and Harry slept next door in the lounge, which meant we had our own space. the bathroom was also newly done and very spacious. Harry had a travel cot, and Sam was on a sofa bed, which was essentially a sofa with bed linen, but it was plenty wide enough for a child to sleep on, and he was very comfortable. We also had a lovely kitchenette with brand new hob, microwave, fridge etc. The best bit of all was that the curtains were black out!

The only thing that is a little bit of a sticking point is the main pool, which is really a bit too small, and doesn’t have enough sun beds. This said, there is a beautiful beach near by, so that never troubled us, and all in all, I think that the benefits of everything else (so wonderful) really outweighed it. By 3 or 4 in the afternoon, you could most often get a sun bed, and at the Mickey Mouse kids pool there were sun beds free, and even if you didn’t have little ones, it was a lovely place to sit.

Now back at home, we feel like for the first time since having the boys, we’ve had a proper break, and so have they. We enjoyed so much quality time together as a family, and it was lovely to see our boys smiling and laughing so much! All of us give it a massive thumbs up!

World Environment Day WED08
12 June 2008 - 12 June 2008

The United Nations launched the World Environment Day (WED) to stimulate awareness of the environment, garner political attention, and increase public action. This international event takes place every year on or about June 5th, and in past years cities such as Barcelona, Tokyo, and Moscow have served as the primary hosts. Festivities; however, are not limited to the host country alone. Celebrations are simultaneously held in all over the world.

World Environment Day 2008 was the first WED to be organized in the Library of Alexandria. Given the fact of a tight budget and the planning issues due to the collaboration with other organizations, the event was very well organized and successful. The number of participants exceeded the expectations.

The collaboration between the three organizations, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, British Council, and Wadi Environmental Science Center, was intended to govern the partnership to deliver the ‘World Environment Day Event’ to be held in Cairo on 7th  June 2008 and in Alexandria on 12th  June 2008.

The purpose of the partnership collaboration between the PSC, WESC and the British Council is to design and deliver a successful activity to mark World Environment Day in Cairo and Alexandria. Our shared aim was to work together to contribute to greater public awareness of the habits affecting the Environment negatively and the impact of human actions on the environment, particularly amongst young people.

On 12 June 2008, the Planetarium Science Center celebrated the World Environment Day (WED) 2008 with the theme of “Kick the Habit!”

The objective of the event is to increase public awareness of negative environmental habits which are contributing to the Climate Change problem. Moreover, it aims at increasing the sense of civic engagement by empowering the normal Egyptian citizen with enough knowledge base needed to take actions against the negative attitudes towards the environment in the Egyptian society.

The day’s agenda was to shed light on environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; understand that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards the environment; and advocate partnership, which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.

Tokyo-X-VARIO: Portrait of a Photographer

X-VARIO @ 50mm. 1/500th sec F/7.1 @ ISO 1600. Shibuya Crossing.

I saw the coolest guy coming out of a taxi. He was a taller Japanese fellow, probably about my age and he was adjusting his scarf as he was readying himself to shoot with his super awesome leather-cased twin reflex camera. I wanted to introduce myself to him, but I was so busy looking for my business cards and scrambling with all my camera equipment, he started walking away and disappeared into the busy Tokyo crowd. I frantically chased after him into the Shibuya crossing, wondering which of 5 directions he could have gone to... I chose the North-East corner and headed that way but it was too late. He was long gone.

But wait! What do I see? Another cool photographer. Completely different looking but similar. The same coolness and determination and in the zone, ready for the next great shot. The first thing I did was show him the Ricoh GR-D IV I was shooting with and asked if I could take a picture of him with my GR with his GR (image posted on my Instagram). Then I decided to shoot with the Leica X-VARIO but at 50mm equiv. This is when I really appreciated having the X-VARIO. The Ricoh GR is a great point and shoot, but not great for a proper portrait. The 50mm angle of view has the right distance to subject and the right amount of compression for a waist-up portrait.

David is from Spain and was enjoying his photo trip in Tokyo, and was readying himself to move on to Kyoto and finally end up in Hong Kong. He was showing me his cool free light meter app and his paid light meter wheel as he develops smart phone applications. It's a perfect app to use, especially when shooting film. Up to now, I metered off my small point and shoot and made a good guess of the exposure on my film camera. With his app, there's no need. Your smart phone becomes an instant light meter. Check it out!

We talked for a bit, exchanged emails and we both continued on our way. Before that, he took a selfie with me which was totally awesome.

Messy hair due to taking off my hat for the picture. Hat Head Taco

Via email he share with me some of the pics he'd taken so far so I'll share with you here. It was nice meeting a fellow photographer and also a fellow GR shooter.

If you're interested in David's photography or have questions about his iPhone apps (I think there's a Android version as well), please contact him via the App Store under ""Developer Website". He's a really cool guy and speaks English well.

As for me posting a picture of a GR shooter on a Leica project, sorry Leica Canada!! I don't really think Ricoh is your competition anyway, and I was just showing how awesome the X-VARIO is at shooting portraits! I hope that's cool?

  1. Great write-up, I am a big believer in commenting on blogs to inform the blog writers know that they’ve added something worthwhile to the world wide web!.. Professional photographer in Orlando

  2. Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks! stock vectors

    1. Best advice is to just start. I'm using Blogger, which is free, but Square Space, Wix, Wordpress, they're all good. Even platforms like Tumblr is good.

  3. Hey! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok. I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates. wedding photographers in Dorset

Thomas, S M: Aedes albopictus winter survival taking into account diurnal temperature variations
Talk, EMCA Symposium - Status of Mosquito Control in Europe with Special Emphasis on Wetlands and Exotic Mosquitoes, Speyer: 2016-03-13 - 2016-03-15

Aedes albopictus, an invasive mosquito and multi-competence vector of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika (laboratory vector-competence in a mosquito population of Singapore), is currently expanding its range from southern Europe northwards. Spreading of this mosquito is facilitated by human transport and travel and changing climatic conditions allow the establishment at new places. Invasive species tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions (ecological competence), show an increased adaptability to cope with new conditions and thus impede monitoring and control measurements. In temperate regions, the winter cold temperature is thought to be an important limiting factor for the further spread of the species. Here we measured the hatching success of Ae. albopictus eggs after a cold treatment in climate chambers taking into account for the first time diurnal temperature variations. The eggs were exposed to three different mean daily temperature cycles with each 0°C, 5°C, 10°C temperature difference. After 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours we removed the eggs and then determined hatching after 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. By the means of boosted regression trees the relative influence of minimum temperature, duration of minimum temperature and temperature difference within the daily cycle was identified. Overall, these three factors explained 89% of the variance within the resulting hatching of larvae. The minimum temperature has the main influence on the survival of eggs after cold treatment with a relative explanation of 61%, whereas the duration of the minimum temperature and temperature difference within the daily cycle reach 19% and 20%, respectively. Hatching success under different cold treatments will be shown. Taking into account diurnal temperature variations rather than constant temperatures in cold experiments support a more realistic picture of winter survival and hatching success of Ae. albopictus eggs in temperate regions, and thus may support monitoring and control measurements.

Tjaden, N*; Beierkuhnlein, C; Englmeier, F; Thomas, S M: Chikungunya in Germany: Where and when could it happen?
Talk, National Symposium on Zoonoses Research, Berlin: 2018-10-17 - 2018-10-19

Background and objectives: Formerly considered a mostly tropical disease, chikungunya is already found in Southern Europe. With its vector Ae. albopictus starting to spread across the country and demonstrating the ability to survive German winters, the public health system needs to be prepared. Materials and methods: We use a species distribution model to identify areas climatically suitable for the vector. We analyse global flight passenger patterns and national imported incidence to find areas where introduction of the virus is likely. There, we use an epidemiological model to calculate the basic reproductive ratio R0, followed by an economic model to estimate the costs of a hypothetical chikungunya emergence. Results: Baden-Württemberg, the Saarland, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) show the highest numbers of climatically suitable counties for an establishment of the vector. Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and NRW have the highest suitability values, with further suitable areas in Bavaria. Similarly, high numbers of travellers returning from endemic areas are primarily reported from the South and West of Germany (Frankfurt, Munich, Rhein-Ruhr Area). The assessed medical costs during the acute phase are relatively low compared to the indirect costs caused by absenteeism. Conclusion: The preparedness of the public health system can be improved by projecting the likelihood of possible new vector-borne disease hazards arising in Germany.

Does that make me crazy?

I did it again. I went and took on TOO much! So this is my motto for the week.

And you know what? I'm sure everything will be fine. The world won't come to an end if the laundry sits an extra day, or my orders get mailed 2 days later than I want (but I HATE doing that!!!), or I don't have as much inventory built up for the craft show as I'd hoped, or I use paper plates for dinner all week, or even make the kids fix sandwiches for dinner so I don't have to cook, or if the blog doesn't get updated daily (*gasp*), or if I wear a hat because I don't have time to shower... It will all be okay. Really.

It will all be fine. I'm going to keep telling myself that this week.

I do hope your weather is as wonderful as ours! I'm absolutely loving the cool temperatures.

yep. all will be just fine.

i like "make the kids fix sandwiches" as opposed to *you* fixing the sandwiches. that was just funny to me.

    We used PB for two rentals in the last couple of years. Both went well, we had no problems other than one SUV we had was rather dusty on the inside when we picked it up. But it ran fine the entire two weeks we had it. The other was clean when we picked it up and both returns went well on departure day. We have since switched to owning a private vehicle so we no longer are in the rental market. Good Luck, and enjoy your trip!

The Gamified Self Part I:

Between the Virtual and the Real: Seeking Evidence of Behavioural Transmission.

By Menno Gottmer – Player 2 @BrandNewGame

In the next couple of blog posts, I will elaborate on the ‘Gamified Self’, an idea devised by me with help of my colleagues at BrandNewGame, that serves as the main inspiration for my master’s thesis, which I hope to finish this year. Week by week, using these blog post, I will further develop my ideas about the Gamified Self, starting in this blog post with the mental steps that brought me to this idea.

The main goal of serious games or what some refer to as applied games is to learn or unlearn certain behaviours, with the goal to be able to apply these behaviours in the ‘real’ world. While the use of serious gaming concepts by various commercial and non-commercial organisations has skyrocketed over the past few years, evidence of an effective transmission between newly trained behaviours in the virtual world of serious games to the real world, has remained largely absent. Initially this could mean two things: either there is a discrepancy between behavioural change in the virtual world and the real world, or people have just not been able to study a possible correspondence between behavioural change in these two spheres. Since it has not yet been scientifically falsified that behavioural changes in a virtual environment might lead to behavioural changes in a ‘real’ environment, this leaves the second option open as the more viable one. But what in fact could be the cause of this epistemological hindrance that restricts people to research a possible transmission between the virtual world and the real world?

First let us focus on behavioural change within virtual environments, such as serious games. The possibility to acquire metrics inside a virtual environment ensures the precise tracking of all kinds of behavioural changes within that virtual environment. A metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software, which of course also includes serious games. Precise quantitative measurements are essential to do scientific research on behavioural change, and because of this, software lends itself excellently for this. Thus, metrics inside a serious game provide objective, reproducible and quantifiable measurements that can be used to precisely track behavioural change.

However, measuring and quantifying behaviour in the real world is not nearly as simple as it is in a virtual word. This in turn makes it particularly more difficult to acquire scientific evidence for the transmission between newly trained behaviours in the virtual world to the real world, evidence that is needed to prove that serious games are a valid and effective method for behavioural change.

First, what we need is an effective way to quantify human behaviour in the real world, and second, we need a way to measure the degree of correspondence between the quantified behaviour in serious games and the quantified behaviour in the real world.

Enter the ‘Gamified Self’; a thought construct that functions as an intermediary between the virtual and the actual, the game and the ‘real’ world. In theory, the Gamified Self is a portal where metrics of someone’s virtual and real behaviours are continually being processed. The ultimate goal of the Gamified Self is to be an on-going objective reflection of a person’s knowledge and skills, a reflection shaped by quantified behaviours exhibited in both serious games and the real world. Using the metrics of both real-world and virtual-world behaviours, The Gamified Self will be able to set relevant challenges for people. So not only will the Gamified Self be reproduce who you are, it will also produce new relevant challenges for you. While the Gamified Self is still only a thought, one day I hope to be able to realise all this.

The ‘Quantified Self’ movement was my main inspiration for this idea, and in next week’s blog post I will elaborate on this movement, and precisely explain how it offers possibilities to bridge the gap between the virtual and the real

NEC and Mavenir Collaborate to Deliver 5G Open vRAN Solution

13 February 2020

NEC Corporation (NEC), a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, and Mavenir, the industry's only end-to-end cloud-native 4G/5G network software provider for Communication Service Providers (CSPs), have announced a collaboration to deliver a 5G Open virtualized RAN (vRAN) Solution to the Japanese Enterprise Market. This will open up Local/Private 5G Network opportunities for enterprises, regional authorities and other organizations.

Under this collaboration, NEC and Mavenir will jointly work on 5G Open vRAN and Local 5G business developments and establish a simple and cost-efficient ecosystem in the market. The collaboration will bring together NEC’s expertise in IT, network and system integration and Mavenir’s field-proven cloud-native network technology.

Mavenir delivers an Open vRAN solution that provides strategic differentiation by enabling multisource Remote Radio Units (RRUs) to interwork with the virtualized, containerized, Cloud Base Band software over ethernet Fronthaul (FH), using the O-RAN open interface, overcoming the traditional constraints of the proprietary walled garden specifications used by the other traditional equipment vendors.

“We are excited to collaborate with NEC, as we move together toward open, virtualized networks,” said Pardeep Kohli, Mavenir’s President and CEO. “Mavenir’s vRAN and NEC’s radio naturally come together to quickly and easily bring new and innovative solutions to the Japanese Enterprise Market.”

NEC actively promotes an open, virtualized infrastructure model in support of the 5G era, utilizing IT, orchestration and network expertise. Moreover, the NEC ecosystem contributes to vRAN via interoperability testing between multiple vendors’ equipment that is compliant with O-RAN fronthaul specifications.

“The combination of advanced assets and expertise from Mavenir and NEC will enable us to offer end-to-end one-stop 5G Open vRAN and Local/Private 5G solutions, including an advanced 5G network solution for the ecosystem, and vertical solutions that meet the needs of a great variety of Enterprise customers,” said Nozomu Watanabe, senior vice president at NEC.

This joint collaboration will continue to provide value-added solutions for customers worldwide. An overview of this collaboration will be introduced during MWC Barcelona 2020 at the NEC booth, Hall 3, 3M30.
