Popular Nollywood Actress Mercy Johnson has shared the story of how she was rejected severally in her early career in the Industry.

She said that the light skinned ladies where being preferred to the dark ones so it was very difficult for directors to give her any role.
She attributed the glory she is enjoying now to the work of Grace despite her dark skin colour.

In her words, “It is very true that when I was starting out in the movie industry, it was difficult to get roles because of my complexion. I faced that a lot and I tell people that my success is just grace. Somebody once told me that I am too dark but that is where the grace and favour of God comes in. Regardless of

“It is not true that I pick just any movie role. People are different and what appeals to one person might not appeal to the other. One of my most popular movies is ‘Dumebi Goes to School’ and I know how many actresses rejected that script before I accepted to do it. That movie has been one of the highest selling movies in Nollywood till date.

“I think it is not fair for anyone to say I just jump on any movie production. As human beings, our strength is in our diversity and differences; this means that what you call trash might not be trash to someone else. I select my scripts and I work with all of my heart because acting is my passion. When I read a script and it appeals to me, I have fun while I do it,” she said.

Medical Genetics Residency

With the sequencing of the human genome, genetics has become an increasingly important aspect of modern medical care. The medical genetics residency program recognizes the incredible potential for health benefits stored in the genetic code.

We strive to train physicians who, through their expertise in medicine and genetics, become leaders in the application of genetic information to the healthcare of our patients.

Application process

Please contact Dr. Maureen Bocian, genetics fellowship director, for more information about applying to the program at:

We have two possibilities for training in medical genetics:

  • A two-year, categorical medical genetics residency requires prior satisfactory completion of 24 months of the ACGME-accredited residency training in a specialty other than medical genetics. At the end of the program, a trainee should be eligible to take the American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG) examinations.
  • A five-year combined pediatrics/medical genetics training program devotes 2 ½  years to pediatrics and 2 ½  years to medical genetics. Usually, the first year is all pediatrics, the last year is all medical genetics, and the middle three years alternate between pediatrics and medical genetics for periods of three to six months each. At the end of the program, the trainee should be eligible to take both the pediatrics boards and the genetics boards.

    The number and content of genetics rotations that the combined pediatrics/genetics residents do are identical to those of the categorical genetics residents except for an additional six months of genetics time. This extra six months is expected to be devoted to research or to training in a specialized area of genetics in which the resident intends to devote his or her career. This extra time is flexible but must be spent in academic pursuit.

Rotations in medical genetics are divided among the general genetics service (inpatient consultations and outpatient clinics), the metabolic genetics service and mitochondrial medicine service (inpatient consultations and outpatient clinics), the prenatal genetics service (primarily outpatient consultations), the cancer/adult genetics/specialty clinics rotations (primarily outpatient), laboratory rotations (clinical cytogenetics, clinical biochemical genetics, and clinical molecular genetics), and some electives.

We also have a strong didactic program involving a number of formal courses that are taken together with the genetic counseling graduate students.

All of these courses are taught by genetics division faculty specifically for graduate students and residents. They are geared towards basic science and clinical aspects of medical genetics, including Mendelian and non-traditional genetics, multifactorial disorders, clinical genetics and congenital anomalies, syndrome identification and dysmorphology, metabolic genetics, cytogenetics, biochemical and molecular genetics, cancer genetics, prenatal and reproductive genetics, teratology, mental retardation and developmental disabilities, applications and interpretation of genetic laboratory testing, quantitative genetics/genetic epidemiology, genetic screening, genetic counseling, and the social, legal and ethical aspects of medical genetics.

There are several division teaching conferences each week at UC Irvine Medical Center. Several research conferences also are available on the main university campus in Irvine.

UC Irvine Health is a fully accredited, comprehensive-care 411- bed hospital located in the City of Orange. The medical center offers high-level medical and surgical inpatient services, including a regional burn unit and a county-wide Level I trauma referral center. Designated as a Level III regional perinatal center, UC Irvine Medical Center provides the only combined tertiary referral center in the county for high-risk maternal and neonatal care. The center is also home to a full-scope child and adolescent medical-psychiatry unit. UC Irvine-affiliated ambulatory pediatric clinics provide outpatient primary care services.

CHOC Children’s Hospital of Orange County is a 232-bed free-standing children's hospital located in Orange. Together with UC Irvine, CHOC is the largest provider of pediatric services in Orange County. As a full-scope children’s hospital, CHOC offers inpatient and outpatient subspecialty care in a state-of-the-art facility.

Miller Children's Hospital is a 200-bed pediatric hospital located in Long Beach with a professional staff of more than 200 physicians and more than 40 full-time faculty. As a dedicated children's hospital, Miller offers training experiences of great depth in fundamental as well as state-of-the-art pediatric medicine. Miller is home to one of the largest newborn intensive care units in California and a regional pediatric trauma center. It is nationally recognized for care provided in its Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center and Cystic Fibrosis Center.

Eat, Pray, Write a Memoir: BBC Radio 4, March

Writer performer Ian McMillan discovers how to write a memoir. In response to the fact that so many best-selling books are memoir and that memoir writing courses are bursting at the seams, he seeks advice for listeners wanting to write their own. He meets Helena Drysdale - a memoirist who teaches the skill - and Helena Tym who decided to write Chin Up, Head Down, after her son was killed inAfghanistan.

Writers from the Ty Newydd writers centre in Wales talk about starting their life stories, and Ian encourages Radio 4 listeners to stop whatever they're doing, and put down the first words of their own.

Producer: Janet Graves

Rural Rides: BBC Radio 4, January

Comedian Mark Steel's review of reporters' journeys round Britain, starting with William Cobbett, the great English journalist and radical campaigner who was born 250 years ago. Mark talks to veteran horseman Dylan Winter and analyses a classic radio and TV genre that owes more than it realises to Cobbett - the tradition of going out and taking a look at Britain.

The formula is a simple one: a hired hack goes on a whistle-stop tour of a part of the country that's unfamiliar to him (it's usually a him) and then publishes his ill-informed impressions together with any wild generalisations he cares to base upon them.

In print, it starts with Cobbett's Rural Rides and ends with the likes of Bill Bryson, Beryl Bainbridge and of course Mark Steel, taking in along the way such scribblers as James Boswell, J.B.Priestley and George Orwell. In radio it's Tom Vernon ('Fat Man on a Bicycle'), Ray Gosling, the many incarnations of 'Down Your Way'... and Mark Steel (again). In TV it runs from Alan Whicker to Clare Balding and Griff Rhys Jones.

When it's done well, Cobbettry can celebrate the differences between us. It can give us an insight into people and places we might be interested to know more about; it can illuminate the human condition by shining a light on particular examples.

When it's done badly - as it often is - Cobbettry can be feeble, patronising and full of cliches. In his own prejudiced and over-simplified whistle-stop tour, Mark Steel demonstrates that Cobbett's legacy has been a mixed blessing.

Marine Division

The Pensacola Fire Department fireboat is a specialized watercraft with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. It is frequently used for fighting fires on docks and shore side warehouses and water front beach homes. Firefighter Helmsman directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. They also have an effectively unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull. the fireboat can be used to assist shore-based firefighters when other water is in low supply or is unavailable, for example, due to a hurricane breaking a water main.  Fireboats are most usually seen by the public when welcoming a fleet or historical ships with a display of their water moving capabilities, throwing large arcs of water in every direction.

Occasionally the fireboat could be used to carry firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, and a physician with their equipment to islands and other boats. They may also carry divers or surface water rescue workers. Passengers from ships in danger can be also transferred to various kind of rescue boats. Plus, for any oil and chemical destruction in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sears Holdings Transformation Picks Up Steam, But Will Still Take Years

It’s been nearly ten years since Sears Holdings (SHLD) CEO and majority shareholder Eddie Lampert pulled off the Kmart/Sears merger that had investors salivating over the potential for enormous realization of the company’s real estate value. Since then however, real estate monetizations have been meager and Lampert has instead attempted the impossible task of turning around the retailing operations of Kmart and Sears. Predictably, he has failed. Take negative free cash flow and no real hope for a reversal, and throw in a few billion in debt as well as an underfunded pension plan (to the tune of about $1.5 billion), and you have a stock market disaster. Why then has the stock perked up strongly in recent weeks, as the chart below shows?

Well, a little-known firm based in California called Baker Street Capital Management recently put out a 100+ page presentation making the case for why it believes Sears Holdings shares are dramatically undervalued (the midpoint of its estimated sum-of-the parts valuation range is $13.9 billion or $131 per share, more than double the current stock price of $58). The slide deck provides detailed research showing that the Sears asset monetization plan that investors have been clamoring for since 2005 may very well be starting to take shape. Most interesting are bits of information regarding the company’s real estate portfolio, which is where the majority of the asset value within Sears lies.

First, store closings have accelerated in recent quarters. This could very well signal that Lampert is getting fed up with his unsuccessful attempt to make Sears and Kmart stores more profitable (or profitable at all). I decided to look at the historical data on Sears and Kmart store closings and it does appear that the company is shutting down money-losing stores at a faster pace lately. However, as you can see from the chart I put together below, the acceleration in that trend is both noticeable and relatively small compared with what many investors would prefer.

Second, Lampert has actually taken more than 200 properties and placed them into a newly formed wholly-owned entity called Seritage Realty Trust. Not only that, but a seasoned real estate executive has been brought in to run Seritage and the company is publicizing its plan to redevelop a property in downtown St Paul, Minnesota. An artist rendering for the mixed-use project (taken from the Seritage web site — yes, this subsidiary even has its own web site with no mention of its relationship to Sears) is below:

Okay, so as a former believer in Sears Holdings as an investment, you might be thinking that I am getting into the stock once again. Well, not exactly. I still have some huge issues with the equity right now (though I do hold a position in the bonds). First, although nobody can refute that there is tons of value within Sears’ real estate portfolio (billions of dollars), we can not ignore the fact that the retail operations are still bleeding cash. And as you can see from the pace of store closing shown above, there are still more than 2,000 of these stores open. Each day that passes brings with it more red ink. Even if Eddie Lampert decided to eventually shut down the retail stores completely, that process would take years. It could take a decade to transform Sears Holdings, in an orderly fashion, into a pure-play real estate company.

The reason that is a problem for would-be equity investors is that the time value of money shrinks how much that real estate is worth today. Let’s take Baker Street Capital’s estimate of Sears’ real estate portfolio; $8.6 billion. Even if this number is in the ballpark (given that they own the stock we can assume this figure is on the high side), if it takes 10 years for Sears to unlock this value through property closings, divestitures, redevelopments, etc. then the present value of these properties is actually a fraction of $8.6 billion. It’s not like they could just sell them all to somebody tomorrow.

The second problem I have with the stock is the supposed value ascribed to the company’s other assets. About half of the value of the company is outside of the real estate portfolio, according to Baker Street. The bulk of those assets include the Kenmore, Craftsman, and Die Hard brands, Lands End, the Sears online business, and the Sears home services and extended warranty businesses. Baker Street contends these assets taken together are worth another $6.8 billion. Keep in mind that the stock market values the entire Sears company at $6.2 billion today.

The core issue here is that Kenmore, Craftsman, Die Hard, Lands End, Sears Home Services, and Sears Extended Warranties all derive the vast majority of their revenue from Sears and Kmart stores. But what happens to these stores if Eddie Lampert decides to monetize the real estate by closing down stores, selling others, subleasing others, and redeveloping others? The value of all of these others brands declines dramatically. Good luck selling Lands End for a good price if you are in the midst of closing down Sears stores. Same goes for Kenmore, Craftsman, and Die Hard. Sure, those brands could be sold in other retail stores if they were independently owned, but the revenue gained would just be offset from the fact that Sears and Kmart stores were disappearing. In my view, Sears can either become a real estate company and shut down its money-losing stores, or it can continue to operate as a retailer with multiple owned brands. What it can’t do is realize the full value of both at the same time, and yet that is exactly what Baker Street Capital (and other bulls on the stock) claim.

If you ask me, Sears should go the real estate route. It may take a long time, but shareholders should see some tangible benefits over time. Consider Seritage Realty Trust, the new company within Sears that holds 200 properties (or about 10% of the total). According to the Seritage web site, those properties control about 18 million square feet of space. Let’s assume they are redeveloped and can generate $30 per square foot, on average. That equates to $540 million of annual net operating income. If Seritage was IPO’d it could be worth about $8 billion (at a 7% cap rate). That is why Sears shareholders have a margin of safety in the stock and why it is not going bankrupt. However, since that process would take so long to implement, it is also the reason why Sears stock today is not anywhere near the $100+ per-share valuations the bulls claim it is worth in a break-up scenario.

Full Disclosure: No position in Sears stock and long Sears bonds at the time of writing, though positions may change at any time.

ERISA And The Denial Of Disability Claims

Review ERISA And the Denial Of Disability Claims

In 1974, Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). This federal law created minimum standards for private pension plans. While ERISA does not mandate that employer have to establish a pension plan, it does define the minimum standards for plans and how it will administered.

erisa and individual long term disability denial and appeal

erisa and individual long term disability denial and appeal

ERISA does not control the amount of plan benefits, but does layout the administrative guidelines for how a plan must operate. If an employer creates a defined benefit plan, the law requires that participants receive information about the plan, such as:

  • Plan features and how the plan is funded
  • Minimum standards for participation, vesting, benefit accrual and funding
  • Duties and responsibilities of plan fiduciaries
  • The right of participants to sue for benefits and fiduciary breaches

ERISA is large and complex law; it occupies over a 1000 sections of the United States Code (where the laws created by Congress are codified) and has many more administrative code sections that interpret and clarify the statute sections, located in the Code of Federal Regulations.

What it does not cover are benefit plans for government and church employees, workers’ compensation plans and certain disability plans.

An important element of ERISA is that it “preempts” state and local laws, which “relate to” employee benefit plans. This ensures uniform standards nationwide; however, it can sometimes mean state laws created to protect employees cannot apply to an ERISA plan and its participants.

Denied Benefits from a Claim?

If you believe you have been unfairly denied benefits from an ERISA disability health plan, you have a right to sue for the benefits, and potentially some other damages.

When suing for a denied claim, you may recover the benefits themselves, clarification of your rights under the plan going forward and potentially attorney’s fees.

Evidence and Attorneys

ERISA is a very complex law, and its interaction with the insurance contract language that defines most employee benefit plans is likewise complex. This means plan participants challenging a denial of a claim generally are at a disadvantage, as the attorneys who work for the plan and insurance companies may only work on ERISA cases, and be intimately familiar with the process and procedure.

Unless you are a Philadelphia ERISA disability insurance lawyer who has been injured and is challenging a denied claim, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the material.

While the claim process is administrative and does not take place in a courtroom, should you need to appeal a denied claim, your documentation and other evidence will then be reviewed under a more rigorous standard by a court.

Plan participants often represent themselves during the early stages of the claim process, and there is no requirement for attorney representation. The decision is based on the documentary evidence assembled during the case.

Is Your Case “Fully Developed?”

Because Federal Court allows the trial court discretion when determining if additional evidence is necessary, it is free to exclude any additional evidence where the record of the case is “fully developed.”

This means that some plan participants who are represented early by a Philadelphia ERISA disability lawyer may have a greater likelihood of success, as they will have had a better opportunity to fully develop the vocational and medical evidence during the administrative portion of the process.

This helps ensure that all necessary and significant evidence is already a part of the record of your appeal, lessening the chance of an appeal failing due to some critical piece of evidence being excluded because a later court decides the record is fully developed.

While it is not always necessary to have counsel handle a claim, if there is any clues during the administrative part of process that a claim could be denied, having the assistance of a Philadelphia ERISA lawyer early can be helpful.

A Villanova long term disability lawyer who understands the process can help your gather the documents and records necessary to demonstrate the validity of your claim. They develop the arguments that articulate your disability to help ensure you can bring the strongest claim possible. Call Philadelphia disability insurance law firm of Edelstein Martin & Nelson, LLP at 215-858-8440 or contact us online.

September is an awesome time in Seattle because the leaves turn Gold and it begins to rain. Normally I would not wish the rain but it could not come sooner than it did this year because as you know the summer was long and it was hot. 94 days with no rain. We had to set up air conditioners in several places for service on Thursday. It was upwards of 98 degrees on some days and that is too hot for Seattle! Even do, Jesus was doing amazing things in our small bible study.

I thank Jesus and stand in awe of what he is doing on Thursday nights. Fruit is coming in from all walks of life and it gives me so much Joy to see people that life seems to have thrown away find a place to come and worship and hear the word where they feel safe. I am so thankful to the Holy Spirit for ministering to them in the atmosphere of Thursday nights.

Thank you Jesus.

As always, if you are in Seattle/Bellevue and want to hear the word of God on a Thursday night please to service. It starts at 7PM and we would love to have you.

A packed house at CineSPEAK's 2015 "Tour de Film" event with SPOKE Magazine.

February 12, 2016

Philly alt-cinema group to boycott Oscars, screen Spike Lee film instead

CineSPEAK launches screening series in support of award show boycott

“We’re doing screenings in non-traditional spaces. We aren’t funded. This is all a labor of love and passion. I believe the cinema can be built wherever.”

To say that Philly resident and self-described film geek Sarah Mueller is passionate about movies would be an understatement. As founder of CineSPEAK, a non-profit organization that brings film into neighborhoods by screening unconventional films in unconventional places, Mueller and her small staff of volunteers, create community cinema that lives outside of the movie theater.

“I have always loved movies. I grew up in a big movie-watching family. Every weekend, we could be found in the aisles of Blockbuster video, arguing over selections," Mueller said. "We also went out to the movies occasionally. There was an old restored theater in Annville called The Allen. Super dope, single screen that only played one movie at a time like back in the day. I ended up deciding to study film in college.”

NoneTim Blackwell/ShotsFired

The crowd watches on at CineSPEAK's June 2015 "Shake the Dust" event.

Upon graduating from The University of the Arts with a BFA in Film and Video Production, Mueller took a job working for the legendary (now defunct) TLA Video store on 15th & Locust.

“That changed my world. We got free rentals all day, everyday. It was all at your fingertips!”

After a tenure working with West Philly’s Scribe Video Center and volunteering with the BlackStar Film Festival, Mueller launched CineSPEAK in 2013. CineSPEAK’s aim is to bring cinema directly to communities and the organization’s methods are thoroughly DIY.

“Scribe taught me that Cinema is for the masses," she said. "Their Street Movies program features free screenings in very public spaces: parks, basketball courts, churches, mosques, parking lots etc.”

“So Scribe and BlackStar are my biggest lived influences. With CineSPEAK we are not trying to recreate the wheel. We want to build on and add to this type of important film programming coming into our great city.”

With a diverse programming style that gives light to under-appreciated films as well as the occasional mainstream sleeper, CineSPEAK’s public screenings are lively affairs in which documentaries are screened in bars and your favorite off-beat comedy may pop up in an art gallery.

“It doesn’t have to be in a fancy movie house, where you’re paying $10+ a pop. It’s about being with people. Old friends, neighbors, strangers etc. Everyone is experiencing the story unfold in real time as a collective,” Mueller said.

In the wake of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s call for a boycott of the 2016 Academy Awards due to a lack of racial diversity, CineSPEAK has launched the "Boycott The Oscars" series. "Boycott The Oscars" will feature a classic cinematic work by a director or cast that was snubbed by the Academy. Kicking off the series is the Feb. 28 screening of Spike Lee’s 1986 feature debut, "She’s Gotta Have It," followed by a panel discussion on race and film moderated by writer and artist Misty Sol

“I have always loved the Oscars. Mostly because I’m just a big film nerd," Mueller said. "So, this past year, I was again following all the buzz surrounding which films might be nominated. I made sure to catch a bunch of them in theaters. And then the nominations hit and, not to my surprise, in every major category…nothing but white folks. That’s why [we made] "Boycott The Oscars," because black and brown folks in film have been doing their thing for a long time. I want to celebrate those artists, actors and filmmakers whose work has been grossly overlooked.”

Showing solidarity with the countless number of black and brown actors, directors and writers who have been historically under represented by the Academy fits well with CineSPEAK’s mission to use film as a means to inform and affect social change.

“When you have the means to speak out on any one of the major social ills of today, it’s my conviction that you gotta use it," Mueller said. "CineSPEAK doesn’t have much of a platform just yet, but we wanna let Philly know that this is what we’re about and this is what we stand for.”

Fujifilm X10 Firmware Update 1.03

February 10, 2012 | Zoltan Arva-Toth | Digital Compact Cameras | Comment | |

Fuji has released a firmware update for the Fujifilm X10 digital compact camera. Version 1.03 addresses the blooming (“white disc”) issue that can sometimes be observed in EXR AUTO mode, adds compatibility with MacOS X 10.7, and provides a number of functionality upgrades and bug fixes, as outlined below.

The firmware update incorporates the following improvements:

  * 1.New function for the “RAW” button: By holding down the button for approx. 2 seconds or more, the RAW button can be re-programmed to perform a new function (similarly to the “Fn” button).
  * 2.ISO and Dynamic Range settings are now maintained even if you change the shooting mode (P / A / S / M).
  * 3.Face detection is upgraded to keep track of faces by means of the face-tracking AF function. As this function is activated even in movie mode, face-tracking AF in the movie mode more effective.
  * 4.The blooming (white disk) phenomenon, which can be observed in EXR AUTO mode, is reduced.
  * 5.Compatibility with Mac OS 10.7: when the camera is connected to a Mac running Mac OS 10.7, the camera is effectively recognized. Additionally, compatibility with RAW FILE CONVERTER EX with Mac OS 10.7 has been confirmed.

  * 7.In certain shooting conditions, image areas with high brightness might be recorded as “black-out” areas, This unpleasant phenomenon is improved.
  * 8.When the flash was used in macro mode, specular highlights used to exhibit a greenish cast. This unpleasant phenomenon is improved.

Olympus E-P3

June 30, 2011 | Zoltan Arva-Toth | Compact System Camera | Comment | |

The Olympus PEN E-P3 is the new flagship of the digital PEN fleet, offering ultra-fast AF, a pop-up flash, a comprehensive set of manual controls and a 610,000-dot touch-sensitive OLED screen. Olympus says it has implemented the world’s fastest auto-focus system in the PEN E-P3, making it “a genuine alternative to bulkier and more expensive SLRs”. Other highlights include a metal body, a 12.3-megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor with a top sensitivity setting of ISO 12800, 3fps continuous shooting, 1080i/60fps high-definition video recording with stereo sound, a flash hot-shoe, an accessory port, an electronic level gauge and no less than 3 customisable buttons for easy operation. The new OLED touchscreen offers fingertip scrolling and enlarging of photos as well as control of the shutter release, AF points and the pop-up Live Guide. The Olympus E-P3 will be available from August for £799. This price includes the camera body and a 14-42mm kit zoom.

Olympus Press Release

New PEN flagship rewrites category rules

PEN E-P3 boasts record-breaking FAST AF and touch display

Hamburg, 30 June 2011 – When Olympus launched its PEN Micro Four Thirds system cameras, it created a whole new camera category. Now it has launched a visionary new PEN flagship that defies categorisation altogether. The PEN E-P3, or simply ‘PEN’, has the fastest* auto-focus of any camera with interchangeable lenses. With its world-beating FAST AF (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) , timeless metal design and state-of-the-art touch-sensitive OLED display, it’s a genuine alternative to bulkier and more expensive SLRs. Leading a three-strong generation of new PEN range cameras, it owes its amazing focussing speed to a powerful new processor: The TruePic VI image engine designed especially for mirror-less cameras. In addition to the new FAST AF, TruePic VI serves as the motor for ten Art Filter special effects and the large, tap-sensitive OLED display that previews and plays back in photo quality. In combination with a faster and more sensitive 12.3 Megapixel sensor, TruePic VI ensures outstanding picture quality, especially in low light. For experienced users, the PEN has more special treats in store – two dials on the back for making quick adjustments to exposure and aperture, plus in-body image stabilisation that counteracts camera shake irrespective of the attached lens. The PEN E-P3 14-42 lens kit is available from August 2011 for £799.

Pick up the new PEN and you realise you’re holding a potential style icon. The craftsmen at Olympus have managed a rare feat, drawing on the charm of the golden era of camera design some 50 years ago to create a camera that will still turn heads 50 years from today. If their vision was a timeless classic, that’s exactly what they achieved.

Instant AF
With its compact design, user-friendly features and first class picture quality, Olympus’ award-winning PEN system camera range is already a firm favourite with both ambitious amateur photographers and professionals looking for a practical second camera. Led by the E-P3, the new PEN generation significantly enhances that reputation. One of the PEN’s most striking – and useful – characteristics is the sheer speed and versatility of the record-breaking autofocus. Driven by the new and powerful Olympus TruePic VI processor, the FAST AF focuses quicker* than any other camera with interchangeable lenses, giving PEN owners the very best chance of capturing fast-moving shots. What’s more, it offers 35 separate focus points, spread over nearly the whole sensor, making it possible to focus on small subjects, no matter where they appear in the picture. In low light conditions, the built-in AF Illuminator compensates for potential loss of accuracy while new AF tracking technology ensures subjects stay sharp even when they move in and out of the frame. Another potentially shot-saving bonus is Full Time AF – the focus is always active so the image is always in focus and the camera doesn’t waste time focusing when the user applies pressure top the shutter release.

Instant control
Unique to the flagship PEN is the three-inch, touch-sensitive OLED display. It’s not only intuitive and practical to use, but also delivers a superb, photo-quality picture, regardless of ambient light conditions. Compared to similar LCD screens, an OLED display generates superior contrast, deeper blacks and a broader spectrum of colours. It is brighter, the angle of view is wider and it uses less power. The PEN’s display offers fingertip scrolling and enlarging of photos as well as control of the shutter release, AF points and the pop-up Live Guide – the celebrated PEN assistant that makes it easy for less experienced users to get crucial parameters such as aperture and depth of field exactly right. Even professionals will be glad to note that there’s now direct access to Live Guide in P, S, M and A modes, if need be. Unlike with some of PEN’s rivals, Live Guide is available for both movies and stills.

But for most serious photographers, experimenting with settings is half the fun – and they don’t want to scroll through endless menus to make their adjustments. That’s why Olympus has incorporated two additional dials on the back of the PEN. With just their thumb, users can fine-tune aperture and exposure time in an instant – without having to switch between menu sections. The chosen settings appear bright and clear on the OLED screen, or in the optional electronic viewfinder. Fans of hands-on shooting will also love the three customisable buttons they can assign to their favourite functions. The buttons, dials and new FAST AF help users react quicker to spontaneous situations and capture fleeting scenes or fast-moving subjects before the opportunity is lost.

Instant art
A wide choice of creative Art Filters and effects is a bonus for ambitious users and pros alike. The PEN offers ten different filters for adding special effects without the hassle of computer software. Several of these can be combined with additional effects, such as new Starlight and White Edge. Users can choose from the Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Colour,
Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pinhole, Diorama, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia and Dramatic Tone Art Filters. All ten filters can be applied to both still shots and movies.

The PEN records movies with a stereo soundtrack in radiant 1080i Full HD quality at 60fps – and in a choice of formats. For playing back on TV, users can choose AVCHD, which generates a smaller file size. If they want to edit their movies first, the 720p HD Motion JPEG format is ideal. It generates larger files but is easier to handle with PC editing software.

Instant power
At the heart of every new PEN is the powerful TruePic VI image engine. Like the processors in computers, TruePic VI is essentially two units in one, with one half dedicated purely to image reproduction. The result is outstanding quality, colour and detail, with light sensitivity boosted to an impressive ISO 12800. TruePic VI also shortens recovery time and reduces noise noticeably during movie recording.

Instant compatibility
Like every other PEN, the PEN E-P3 is a system camera. The moment users purchase it, they gain instant access to more than 500 Micro Four Thirds, Four Thirds and other lenses (via a adapter), including Olympus’ legendary M.ZUIKO DIGITAL range of high-quality optics. Highlights of the range are two new fast-aperture lenses. The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 (24mm**) wide-angle ‘Street Photography’ lens is ideal for capturing broad subjects such as landscapes, especially in low-light conditions. By contrast, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm 1:1.8 (90mm**) portrait lens delivers remarkable portraits with beautiful background blurring. Another first-class option is the re-sculpted M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm (28-84mm**) 1:3.5-5.6 II R. All three lenses are specially designed for near-silent operation, so users can shoot HD movies in stereo without the background whir. Their metallic casing and compact, lightweight design makes them a perfect match for the PEN. Irrespective of the specifications of the lens users attach, thanks to built-in Image Stabilisation they can be confident of capturing blur-free shots. And thanks to Accessory Port 2, they can also select from the ever-growing family of PEN-dedicated accessories, including the Bluetooth®-compatible PENPAL that automatically reformats still photos for wireless transfer to other compatible devices and social media.

The PEN E-P3 14-42 kits is available with the body in classic black, white or silver from August 2011, for £799.

PEN E-P3 main features:

Image Quality
Powerful TruePic VI image engine for faster recovery time and excellent image quality
Ultra-effective in-body image stabilisation for blur-free movies and stills with any lens
12.3 effective Megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor for excellent low-light performance and Full HD movie recording

Foreign Policy

posted: December 01, 2011

Foreign Policy has called me in recent years always with interesting assignments.

This time it was drawing three bankers, Ben Bernanke, Zhou Xiaochuan and Jean-Claude Trichet, for their Global 100 Issue.

The idea of the fragile relationship between the American, European and Chinese Economies brought to mind the concept of a house of cards.

It was fun for once drawing these little cartoons.

Here is the image in a higher resolution.

The two previous great commissions I received from Foreign Policy in the past years were portraits of Karl Marx and Charles Darwin.

PEORIA – A fire at a vacant Central Peoria home caused an estimated $30,000 in damage early Wednesday but did not result in any injuries.

Fire crews responded about 3:30 a.m. to a call for flames at 1829 N. Sheridan Road and found heavy fire coming from the front of the one-and-a-half story wood-frame house.

Most of the fire was on the porch and in the two front rooms of the house, according to a release from the Peoria Fire Department. Firefighters contained the blaze to the front of the structure.

No one was found inside the home. The owner is Pono Burns of Peoria Heights.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

One thought on “The Ultimate Bonanza: Glass And Fast

  1. I have been in a market for some times now to get a plane to serve my purpose. Basically, to fly for organizations, such as ” wings of hope” to help people in need. That doesn’t mean I have a money tree in the back yard some where. However, my search always takes me back to Beech A36 Turbo Normalized, preferably that has been done by Tornado Alley. And decent instrument panel that would lessen the work load in a heavy IFR. That being said, I don’t quit understand, why Beech does not offer Turbo normalized on their new G36’s ? When is clearly far superior to conventional Turbo? When they are charging more than 3/4 of million dollars for a new one coming out of factory? Just a thought!

Rock Junior, great young climbing at Arco

Saturday 25 August 2012. A great cutting-edge start during today’s first day of the Under 14 Cup at Arco which marked the start of the Rock Master Festival di Arco. 220 athletes aged 7 – 13 from 17 different countries competed today; the Under 14 Cup continues tomorrow, along with the Kid’s Rock and Family Rock.

11 years of Rock Junior. For 11 years these young climbers have managed to surprise us, every year that little bit more. Thanks to their love for this sport. Their ability to climb continuously. For the fun and seriousness with which they put themselves to the test. What is certain is that these climbers have all the vitality, enthusiasm and desire to have fun of children aged 7 – 13. And once again these youngsters put on a massive display here at the Arco Climbing Stadium, on the same Rock Master walls which have hosted the great champions of this sport and which were the scene of last year’s great World Championship Arco.

What became immediately obvious was the incredible ability level. This goes to show that the Rock Junior project, which focuses on the young generation of climbers to promote climbing and pave the way for the future, is a winner. The only one which can perhaps ensure that the culture of this beautiful sport can evolve towards even bigger goals. And so during this first day of the Under 14 Cup 220 youngsters from 17 different countries grappled away in the Speed, Bouldering and top rope Lead disciplines. And right from the outset the young girls and boys in their respective 4 categories proved spectacular.

Beginning with the Bouldering, where category A (born 1999 – 2000) was dominated by Giorgia Tesio – who sent all 6 problems in 16 attempts - and Filip Schenk, another 6 tops in a mere 7 attempts. It’s worth noting that the problems set by Leonardo Di Marino and Donato Lella – unsurprisingly the route setters of the last 10 Rock Master – were graded 7a. And that the boys and girls competed on the same problems, and that the girls were by no means disadvantaged. Category B (2001 – 2001) was dominated by Mirko Caballero from America (6 tops in 10 attempts) and Laura Rogora from Rome. While the youngest climbers, those in Category C (2003 -2004 – 2005) were beaten by Ai Mori from Japan with 4 tops in 7 attempts and Cristian Rapa from Romania with 4 boulders in 6 attempts.

The fastest climbers after two Speed rounds were the Italians Giacomo Ingrami (in 6,33 seconds) and Giulia Fossali (8,05) competing in Category A, while Category B was won by Laura Rogora (7,96) and Mirko Caballero (7,24) who therefore doubled their takings after the Bouldering event and are now well-placed for overall victory. The Category C sprint was won by Ai Mori from Japan (13,37) who leads the provisional results and Leonardo Fossali from Italy (12,28).

Tomorrow the Under 14 Cup continues with the second stage of the Lead, rope climbing up the highest wall in the Climbing Stadium. Only then will we know who will have won this 11th edition, since the final ranking is based on the results of all three disciplines. Tomorrow though is also the day for the Kid’s Rock and Family Rock, two events which are unique to Rock Junior. And so, apart from the young Under 14 athletes, Arco will be filled to the bring with youngster (5 -13) who want to experiment with this climbing game by playing in the Kid’s Rock. As tradition has it the grand final is reserved for the Family Rock, the emblematic vertical relay race for children and their parents. Tomorrow will witness a pacific invasion of 500 young climbers and this is perfectly in line with the spirit of Rock Junior: a great climbing festival which looks to the future of this beautiful sport.

The first Scania Experience!

About a year ago - Scania hit the headlines with the announcement of launch of their bus model. Shortly after the news came out, first pics of the bus appeared online. The bus looked quite boxy, but the design looked good. About a month later, a friend called me to see the bus in person - I saw the bus inside out, and was surprised with the build quality of the bus. Days gave way to weeks, then months and almost a year went by. The commercial launch of the bus kept getting postponed time and again. One fine day, a friend messages that the first Scania has reached the country - and a few days later, got information that the bus has reached a reputed body builder for painting. Few more days later, the bus was spotted on the road by a friend. Then came the news of the launch by KPN, at Salem (Sadly, couldn't make it to the launch event).

A few days later, the bus was on the road. And, One fine morning, saw the bus in close quarters on my way to office. There started the desire to tr…

To Kottayam on SLS..

A classmates wedding in Kottayam - the invite came a good 1.5 months early. I hadn't reserved any ticket, and was undecided till the last moment. I was confused between private and Government buses. Karnataka SRTC was on the shortlist for sometime - but the prospect of having to travel in a bus operated by crew who hardly bother about time did bother me. I have often seen the KaSRTC Kottayam bus taking 11-12 hours to reach Thrissur itself - I wanted to reach Kottayam before 8 so that I have enough time to get fresh. The next shortlist was Kerala SRTC's two Super Deluxes - one via Gudalur and the other via Salem. I kept these on waitlist since I was a bit confused on taking a non-AC bus since it was a long day ahead. Next on the list was Kerala Lines - but I was told that the bus wasn't running that day. I had tried Shama a few months ago - did not want a re-run of that day, and the bus stops for Dinner - I, for some reason, prefer a non-stop service. Next was SLS - I have…

Kannur to Bangalore, by Airavat

Soon after getting the date for the wedding at Kannur, I made sure to set a remainder on my phone to book a ticket for my return journey from there. For some reason, Malabar operators aren't very tech savvy - they don't put many seats online, nor do they sell tickets on phone. This trip being on a Sunday, I did not want to take risk waiting to book a ticket on a private bus, and the fact that I've not tried Airavats on this route made booking a ticket on KSRTC the first option. I had another reason too - that I could park my car at Shantinagar bus station, so that I need not haggle with the auto guys after arriving in the morning. I logged into KSRTC's Awatar website exactly a month before my journey date - I was a bit surprised seeing three Airavats listed! The first one was a bit too early, and the last one appeared a bit late (arrival in Bangalore). I decided to play safe, and booked on the 2031CNRBNG schedule.

February 09, 2014:
On the evening of my journey, I grew…

On the Golden B7R, to Kannur

A wedding in Kannur, of a close relative - necessitating a visit there. Selecting a bus to go to Kannur was a no-brainer - I had selected Golden B7R, because it was a new bus and I had liked Golden service the last time as well. Did not book the ticket online, but decided to get it through Friends Travels. For some reason, their chart wasn't open when I went to them - booked the ticket later on. For the return, I had chosen Karnataka SRTC - because of the comfort of being able to get off at Shantinagar, and that I could park my car there.

February 8, 2014: I was getting tensed as I waited for the clock to hit 5pm. It was exactly 5pm as I rushed out of office and ran to the parking. Started from there around 1710hrs - and took the Abbigere-Gangamma Circle-Ramiah-Mekhri-Cubbon route to reach Shantinagar. I was on fire till I passed Mekhri Circle. Then slowed down a bit and got very relaxed as I passed Cubbon park. I reached Shantinagar TTMC at around 1815hrs. Parked my car at the bu…

Analyst: 75% of Watch Dogs Sales in the US Were on PS4 & Xbox One

June 18, 2014Written by Jason Dunning

After premiering to over 4 million copies sold worldwide in its first week on the market, and placing first in the May 2014 NPD report, Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz has given us some more insight into how well Watch Dogs did in the US:

Fifty percent of total May sales came from May releases. That’s a record high for the month going back to 2001. We view the strong Watch Dogs sales — 75 percent of which came from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One — as evidence that new hardware is helping to revitalize software demand.

It’s important to note that Creutz is just talking about US retail sales for Watch Dogs (and possibly not even calculating PC), but it’s still a good measure for how quickly people are adopting the new consoles.

Which system did you buy Watch Dogs for?

The Tempest by William Shakespeare Click Here!

Point Break Drama Acting School is elated to finally have its own resident playwright, Judy Judd-Sandwell. In 2010 co-founder of Point Break Drama, Paul Winchester approached Judy about the idea after an initial foray into the Short and Sweet play festival became a success.

Point Break Drama is determined to provide all students with new opportunities to advance their experience, knowledge and skills of theatre, acting, performance & the industry. This is indeed a rare component for any acting school, and Point Break Drama is lucky to have someone of Judy’s caliber.

Students in Acting 3, 4 and advanced Youth acting will now have the unique opportunity to workshop a brand new play written by a playwright, from infancy through to a polished performance, and World Premiere!

Judy Judd-Sandwell

Judy Judd Sandwell

With over 30 years as a professional writer & journalist, Judy Judd-Sandwell is relatively new to play-wrighting. In a very short time she has been very successful. Judy wrote a play called, “Going Down” in late 2009, which Point Break Drama successfully produced and entered into the Fast & Furious short play festival at the Peninsula Theatre Company. Going Down won the audience award and was invited to participate in the Short and sweet short play festival by director, Alex Broun. It managed a third place in the audience vote.

In 2011 Point Break Drama entered two of Judy’s plays into the festival and is currently performing at Short and Sweet 2011. The play, “Dream castle” thus far has won the judges award for its heat and has progressed to the Wildcard final on February 26th. The play, “The Kiss” won the Peoples choice award for its week at the short and sweet festival.

Aussie comments about the play Dream castle:

This ambitious undertaking was well handled by actress Ursula Paddon as she scaled emotions from a doting, girlish Eva to the strong, focused and determined woman. Whilst her accent may have waivered a little it was indeed a strong performance. The play showed convincingly what sacrifices must be made in order to follow such a man unconditionally.

Judy was raised in show business and indeed the theatre is in her blood. Her father, Noel Judd was a popular radio and television personality. Judy spent many hours watching performances from the sidelines, and when older worked on leading television programs, accompanied performing artists on stage tours, wrote biographies for well known entertainers and enjoyed seeing her brother have great success in the film industry. It wasn’t surprising her daughter took to the London stage in a colourful career on the West End.

Its taken Judy more than three decades of life experience to realize her destiny as a playwright!

The old adage, “It’s never too late” is very poignant for Judy and Point Break. Judy is indeed making up for lost time, and Point break drama is thrilled!

Discover Warsaw, a City of Old and New

by Or Hiltch

One of the largest and liveliest capitals in Europe, Warsaw is particularly interesting for its unique mix of old and new. While the historic center of the city, now fully restored to its pre-WWII charm, is rich in museums, palaces and inviting cafes, the business district witnesses the apparition of some futuristic glass and steel skyscraper or state of the art shopping center every few months. Its two contrasting sides: the ultra-modern centre and the old town constitute the unique charm of Warsaw. I therefore invite you to discover Warsaw, a city of old and new:

Attractions in Warsaw Old Town

by hsivonen

The history of old Warsaw is far from being all milk and honey: as people in Warsaw resisted German occupation in 1939, the city was heavily bombed – entire blocks were turned into ruins and thousands of people died. In the last few decades, the old center has gone through a massive reconstruction and restoration process. Much of the buildings you’ll have the chance to admire today are all the result of skillful and detailed reproduction: actually, you could swear that these buildings are several centuries old!

The Old Centre of Warsaw or, how the Poles call it, Stare Miasto, is very rich in attractions off all types, from museums and theatres to fortresses and bohemian cafes. People usually stroll around the big Market Square, the Royal Castle and the Barbican. The Palace Square is dominated by the statue of King Zygmunt. There are also a number of very old and beautiful churches, like the St. John’s Cathedral and the Jesuit Church.

Modern Warsaw Attractions

by hsivonen

The modern Warsaw itself represents an interesting mix of the contemporary, glass and steel buildings and the Stalinist heritage. Dominating the skyline of Warsaw you’ll find the Palace of Culture and Science, a monumental building which was built as a gift from USSR to the Polish people. Several skyscrapers now surround the Palace of Culture, and very modern and innovative designs can be witnessed all over downtown Warsaw. The TVP (Polish National Television) headquarters and the Intercontinental Hotel are two of the most eye-catching constructions, as well as the PTT tower. Right in the center you will also find the Golden Terraces, an ultra-modern shopping mall with a more than daring design.

Hillary Clinton

Some say Clinton may have too much \"baggage\" to make an effective vice-presidential pick.

Can Clinton muscle to a VP nod?

It is possible to muscle your way into a vice presidential nod: You have something the nominee wants, and he has to give it to you.

The question is: Does Hillary Clinton have that kind of muscle?

Story Continued Below

Her victories in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and her strength with women and white working-class voters have fueled the argument that Barack Obama must put her on the ticket if he wins the nomination and wants those states and those votes in the fall.

And, as a senior Obama adviser told me Wednesday, some Clinton supporters are “pushing real, real hard to get her on the ticket.”

But it won’t be easy.

“You don’t want your vice president taking away anything from the ticket, and she does,” said the adviser, who asked not to be named because he was expressing his personal views and not the official view of the campaign.

The adviser cited two things against Clinton: the number of voters who consider Clinton “dishonest” and the “baggage” Clinton brings with her.

Last month, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found that nearly six in 10 Americans believe Clinton is not “honest and trustworthy.”

“That’s not a real positive,” the Obama adviser said, adding: “Her baggage in a general election is real. Does she bring women? No question. But Barack Obama is not a turnoff for women.”

He added: “Keep in mind, we are talking about Democratic women. That’s who have been voting for her in the primaries. Do you really think Democratic women are going to vote for John McCain in a general election with the Supreme Court at stake?”

But doesn’t Clinton also attract certain groups of white voters that Obama has been unable to get? “Yes,” the adviser said, “but some of them will never vote for Obama anyway.”

Bruce Morrison disagrees with all of this. He is a former congressman from Connecticut, went to Yale Law School with Hillary and Bill Clinton, was co-chairman of Irish-Americans for Clinton-Gore and has worked closely with Hillary Clinton on immigration issues.

He told me that if Obama wins the nomination, putting Clinton on the ticket just makes sense. In fact, when Clinton was doing well earlier in the year, he urged her to put Obama on the ticket.

“This is a race which is as close to a tie as anything we can recall,” Morrison said. “The party is divided along certain sorts of measurable lines. Different kinds of people are on different sides, and what the party needs is a merger.”

But what about Clinton’s “baggage”?

“Whatever baggage she has, it is obvious that people are supporting her in large numbers,” Morrison said. “Her baggage is that she has taken slings and arrows for 20 years and is still standing.”

Morrison added: “When she says she is winning battleground states in primaries, that argument is relevant. Putting her on the ticket makes it more likely for the ticket to win Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and West Virginia in the general election.”

The selection of a vice president is more than a cold calculation, however. Part of the decision is about comfort level. It is about the nominee asking: “Do I want this person hanging around me for the next four or eight years?”

With the court’s ruling, Roberts noted 'states now have a real choice.'

Roberts: Court avoided politics

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts spent 20 minutes ticking methodically through his rationale for providing the crucial fifth vote to uphold the bulk of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Roberts insisted the court’s most highly-anticipated decision since Bush v. Gore sought to avoid the politics.

Story Continued Below

“That judgment is for the people through their representatives,” he said.

( Also on POLITICO: Key quotes from the ruling)

With a packed courtroom hanging on his every word, Roberts spent the first several minutes explaining the reasons why the individual mandate didn’t pass muster under the Commerce Clause but deserved to be upheld anyway under Congress’s taxing authority.

“It is indeed likely that many [more] Americans will choose to pay the IRS than buy insurance,” Roberts said from the bench, describing how the penalty for not carrying insurance “looks like a tax.”

( See also: Full coverage of the health care reform decision)

Roberts struck a blow to the Affordable Care Act however with his ruling that allows states to reject the law’s Medicaid. The law’s provision, Roberts said, “is a gun to the head” that coerces states to accept the program because of the large sums of revenue available with it.

With the court’s ruling, Roberts noted “states now have a real choice” in deciding whether to link up with the federal system.

Some lawmakers are reluctant to impose such a fundamental change on the Pentagon.

Battle over military sexual assault

It’s a battle between tradition and change, and it could decide how far Congress is willing to go to make the Pentagon confront a growing epidemic of sexual assaults in the ranks.

Top Democrats and a few Republicans want to take the cases out of the traditional chain of command — where an accuser might be reporting the crime to the very person she’s accused.

Story Continued Below

Military hawks say no way. Commanders need to maintain authority over their troops.

The dispute has exposed the latest fault line in the military’s handling of a reported 26,000 sexual assault cases last year, and one that could decide just how far Congress is willing to go to force changes on the Pentagon.

( Also on POLITICO: Hagel to cadets: Fight sexual assault)

The Senate is holding hearings on sexual assault Tuesday, where the clash was on full display.

On one side of the fight are those seeking the change, like Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Mark Begich, who argue sexual assault cases need a separate lane in the military — even if that threatens the top-down culture of the Pentagon.

On the other side are institutionalists, including hawks like Sen. Jim Inhofe and Rep. Buck McKeon, who argue the chain of command is fundamental to leading the greatest military fighting machine on earth — and shouldn’t be tampered with lightly.

( Also on POLITICO: Sex assault scandal tests Pentagon)

While senators like Gillibrand are grabbing headlines for keeping the cause front-and-center in Washington, they will still need to win over colleagues reluctant to impose such a fundamental shift at the Pentagon.

“The problem is the military is a little different than other institutions and if you take accountability and responsibility out of the hands of the commanding officer, we shouldn’t do that lightly,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, told POLITICO.

Inhofe, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, took to the floor Monday evening to rail against the idea. He reiterated his position at the Tuesday hearing.

“To take the commander out of the process will invite failure. These commanders have to make decisions to send our brave troops into battle. How ludicrous is it that we would say to our commanders, you’ve got to make a decision to send one of our kids into battle where they may end up losing their lives,” Inhofe said Monday. “But however, you can’t participate in the justice system of the troops. It doesn’t make any sense at all.”

On Tuesday, senators will review seven bills aimed at combating sexual violence in the military. Not all of them would take cases out of the chain of command.

“We’re building support,” Gillibrand told POLITICO on Monday. “It’s just a question of having more time to talk to more colleagues.”

Top military leaders will also testify. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has previously been reluctant to support changes to the chain of command.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, said legislation like what Gillibrand is pushing will be needed.

“I think it’s very serious. You have nearly 30,000 of these in a year indicates there’s a real problem,” the California Democrat told POLITICO. “My view is that these either should be court martial-able events or there should be special prosecutors. It should be removed from the commanding officer.”

Other leading female voices in the Senate say the Pentagon needs a cattle prod.

Poppy Pods

At the bottom of Poppies and Paperbacks, there is sometimes an advertisement to buy poppy pods. In my naive curiosity, I researched why anyone would want to buy a poppy pod. They're pretty when in a vase and fresh next to blooming Icelandics...but besides prettiness, why all the fuss?

I found all kinds of things. Professed cures for cancer, bed time tea, DIY projects and crafting uses and then I came upon this...

"I woke up avalanched under a junkyard of pain, my body a trap of torn nerves and trashed organs. An oily rash of sweat had soaked through my pillow and into the mattress. I was coughing, confused and crazy with anger. A throbbing, deep-pink chemical sunburn covered my face; my bowels were spitting hot mercury. I slid out of bed and dropped to the floor, the weight of a snarling mountain gorilla bearing down on me. I saw myself in the mirror as I fell. I looked puffy."

I suggest reading the entire article because, mostly, it's written so well. But also because it's a very unusual story. Just click on any word in the above excerpt.

Home » Aviation » Single airport system still the best option for PH, says IATA

Some sectors are pushing for the development of Clark International Airport as a complimentary facility to congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

A SINGLE airport system that is very accessible from the metropolis is best for Manila, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said, as it pushed for improving operations of the congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and establishing an alternative gateway within the city.

Albert Tjoeng, IATA’s assistant director of corporate communications for Asia Pacific, was quoted by a local newspaper as saying the organization is supporting a single airport solution that is within reach of city residents.

“The priority for Manila is to maximize the effective capacity and throughput from the existing facilities.  IATA has provided guidance to the authorities in this regard, such as building rapid exit taxiways and better slot management. But there is a need to develop a long term solution to the airport needs of the Manila area,” Tjoeng said.

Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya earlier said Malacañang is carefully studying three options including the possibility of shutting down and selling NAIA to reach a decision on whether the Philippines would adopt a single or twin airport system.

Abaya said the first option involves a single airport system wherein the government would shut down and sell the congested NAIA and develop the Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

The second option, he revealed, involves a dual system wherein the government would develop Clark and at the same time maximize the operations of NAIA until 2025 while looking for an alternative site for a new airport that would be 25 kilometers or 30 minutes away from the existing gateway.

The DOTC chief said the third option also involves a dual system wherein the government would jointly develop Clark and NAIA and then decide whether or not to put up an alternative airport.

“Previously, the direction was to move all NAIA’s current operations to Clark International Airport within the next five to seven years. What is clear now is that we need Clark to absorb some of the traffic in NAIA. Even if initially, it seems more cost efficient to have a single main gateway, there are dual airport systems existing around the world that actually perform well commercially,” he earlier said in a speech before the Makati Business Club.

He said the agency is looking at ways to further increase the capacity of the old NAIA airport to 60 events or landings and take offs per hour from the average 40 events per hour.

Abaya pointed out that Cabinet secretaries are leaning towards the second option of jointly developing NAIA and Clark while looking for a site for a new international gateway. This may involve the reclamation of Laguna de Bay or Manila Bay as well as the Sangley airport in Cavite.

Last November, IATA director general and chief executive officer Tony Tyler cautioned countries in Asia Pacific, including the Philippines, about too much private investment in the development of airport infrastructure to support demand growth in the region.

Tyler said governments in Asia Pacific should take a prudent approach to private investment in airport development projects as the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and even Korea consider the participation of private investors in building airports.
