Bio: Constant Cap has a Master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Nairobi, Kenya. He holds an undergraduate degree from the same university. He writes about urban planning issues online and in local dailies. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya he passionate about the planning issues facing African Cities. He has a deep interest in sustainable transportation, urban resilience and new urbanism. He is also a Graduate Member of the Town and County Planners Association of Kenya. He has previously worked at the Strathmore University Advancement Office. He currently works as the Executive Director of Kilimani Project Foundation.

Transportation is the movement of people and goods from a point of origin to a destination. Several means can be employed; from the more popular cars and buses to bicycles, boats and even ferries.

Over the last few decades Urban Centers have grown exponentially both in population size and surface area. Urban developers have realized the increased necessity to provide mass urban transit due to growing populations and travel distances.

Emphasis on motorized means of transportation has created the phenomenon of massive traffic congestion pitting personal cars, public buses, minibuses and trucks against each other in using the same access channels. The realization that road construction is unable to meet the demands of higher vehicle numbers led to the establishment of right-of-way means of mass transit such as Light Rail Trains and the more recent Bus Rapid Transit.

Kenya Ferry Services recently announced plans to construct a cable car system to transport people across the Likoni Channel. The Likoni Channel separates Kenya’s South Coast and Mombasa Island and is also used by marine vessels traveling to the Mombasa Port. Over the years, people and vehicles have been transported across the channel by ferry. The ferry service has been criticized due to massive delays and frequent breakdowns. Though the government has on several occasions discussed the possibility of constructing a bridge, it facea topographical, land use and height challenges.

The announcement envisages the introduction of a means of transport with the potential to carry over 11,000 people per hour in two directions. It brings several key advantages for passengers:

  1. Reduced waiting times as cable cars will be available every 4 minutes
  2. Bi-directional nature of cable cars enables more people to be transported
  3. Economies of scale as the masses will be able to effectively use the cable car
  4. Additional cars may be added in the future to accommodate anticipated growth without disrupting daily operations.
  5. Increased maritime traffic will not affect the cable car that lies 65 meters above it.

Cableways are used in several parts of the world to transport people and goods. In New York, Singapore, Koblenz, Hong Kong and London, they have proven to be effective and efficient modes of mass transport as regards moving of people and goods over water channels that have high density maritime transport.

Many may ask: ‘Why go the cable way rather than a bridge or a tunnel?’

 A folding bridge would not suffice due to the high volume of maritime traffic. Given the projected increase in both maritime and ground traffic, a bridge will struggle to handle the anticipated volumes, especially with Special Economic Zones and Freeport expectations. Folding bridges tend to be used across channels that do not have high levels of maritime traffic.

With the required height, the other option would be a spiral bridge. However, the current land available on both sides would not allow this. Additionally, the cost of such a bridge would stand at about $4.4B (i.e., 10% greater than the cost of the Standard Gauge Railway).

The option of building a tunnel faces the challenge of maintaining the required gradient while reaching the 110m sea depth underneath the Likoni Channel. A distance of 8 kilometers would be required to maintain the minimum 5 degree gradient which means that the tunnel would start on the other side of Mombasa Island (Near Nyali Bridge). Further, the cost of tunneling lies at about $2B (compared to the estimated $41m cost of the Likoni Cable Express).

Cableways are fast and reliable and offer minimum waiting time as they are continuously on the move. Additionally, they are a ‘greener’ mode of technology. Their safety records are impeccable and have CCTV cameras to take care of security issues.

The impact of cableways is not only being seen near water bodies. Other cities have adopted them as an efficient means of urban mass transit. More notably Medellin in Colombia, Caracas in Venezuela and closer to home Algiers and Lagos have also embarked on major cableway projects. With the ability to transport over 10,000people per hour in two directions and with minimum land use requirements, their popularity has grown beyond the traditional ski resorts.

 The success of the Likoni project may well open up a new chapter in mass urban transit. Other cities and towns can gradually start adopting cableways as a means of transporting people and goods. In Nairobi, for example, intensive land use, increased densification and occasional flooding limits road construction and other means of mass transit.  Cableways could make a significant impact in transporting people along various channels to the CBD. Kenya Wildlife Service can consider use of cable cars in Nairobi and Mount Kenya National Parks. The opportunities are immense.

Getting into the Game: America’s Arctic Diplomacy

Climate change is opening up new opportunities and challenges in the Arctic. Is the United States ready to lead?

When new diplomatic opportunities appear, the United States is typically quick to react and establish a presence. After the fall of the Soviet Union, new embassies were staffed up and opened in record time across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The breakup of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia saw similar quick responses from the United States, as did the appearance of new nation states such as Timor-Leste and South Sudan. U.S. embassies opened soon and resources were allocated swiftly. So why has Washington been comparatively slow in responding to the explosion of opportunity in the Arctic?

The scientific consensus is that climate change is mostly behind the swift warming of the Arctic, and other Arctic nations, as well as China, have moved decisively to stake their claims in this new arena. As the climate heats up, the race for the Arctic’s resources will do the same; new shipping lanes will become available; environmental changes will accelerate; and large populations will be affected. Under the circumstances, is the United States playing the leadership role that might be expected?

Earlier this year, the United States began a term as chair of the Arctic Council, the inter-governmental forum with primary responsibility for dealing with Arctic issues. Decisions are made by consensus in the council, whose members are the eight Arctic nations: the United States, Canada, Denmark (by way of Greenland), Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Founded in 1996, and with its headquarters in Tromsø, Norway, the council focuses on cooperative issues such as environment and climate, biodiversity, oceans and Arctic peoples. Since its establishment, the body has accepted a number of observer nations: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and India.

During the next two years, the focus of the U.S. chairmanship will be on three issues: improving economic and living conditions for Arctic communities; enhancing Arctic Ocean safety, security and stewardship; and addressing the effects of climate change. All are worthy issues, to be sure. But one might ask why the United States is not using its chairmanship to prepare the council for the challenges immediately ahead. Why is there no direct emphasis on security, territorial claims, resources and access—the old standards of geopolitics—in the U.S. agenda? Those are the areas where one might logically expect some diplomatic tensions to arise in the coming years—and where, in some cases, they already have.

During its short existence, the Arctic Council has been an important venue for multilateral negotiations, facilitating agreement among the Arctic nations to cooperate on a variety of issues, including marine oil pollution and regional search and rescue. But should it evolve to the point where members can address “harder” issues, and should it play a greater, more dynamic role in Arctic affairs? These are larger questions, which the United States might consider raising during the next two years.

State of Play

In the last decade, the council’s member states have increasingly turned to the Arctic as a vitally important part of their foreign (and domestic) policy. Non-Arctic nations are looking north, as well; China, in particular, is taking serious steps toward becoming a player to be reckoned with in the Arctic. Here are some details.

Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made no secret of his desire to exert Russian influence in the Arctic. Possibly the most memorable image related to the Arctic in recent memory is of the 2007 planting of a Russian flag on the seabed beneath the North Pole. While dismissed as a stunt by the other Arctic nations, it made Russian intentions clear. In August 2015, Russia submitted a claim to the United Nations for large swathes of Arctic territory. (Other nations have done so as well.) Russia has also returned—very publicly—to many of the Arctic military and navy bases it abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union. A permanent Russian military presence in the country’s Arctic areas is declared policy, as is significant control over the sea route north of the Russian mainland.

According to a 2009 Kremlin strategy paper, the Arctic is to become Russia’s “top strategic resource base” by 2020.

According to a 2009 Kremlin strategy paper, the Arctic is to become Russia’s “top strategic resource base” by 2020. Russia also has its eye on the possibly immense stores of oil and gas resources in the Arctic; some estimate that up to 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas may be located in the region. Russia is not alone in building up its military in the Arctic, and is far from the only actor with designs on its resources. An arms race is certainly not imminent, but it is worthwhile to pay close attention to Moscow’s actions.

Canada. With more than 100,000 Canadians living in the Arctic, Canada has the largest land mass of any country in the region. Canada has just finished its second term as chair of the Arctic Council, culminating in a ministerial meeting in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut province. Canada’s policy in the Arctic has been unusually muscular, with a strong emphasis on the military and sovereignty components of its overall strategy.

In fact, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters in 2010 that while Canada has many priorities in the Arctic, including community, environment and governance, “all of these [other priorities] serve our No. 1 and, quite frankly, non-negotiable priority in northern sovereignty, and that is the protection and the promotion of Canada’s sovereignty over what is our North.” Canada has also been the most vocal in opposing aggressive Russian moves into the Arctic, including the flag-planting episode in 2007. Canada’s military exercises in the Arctic have also become more frequent and longer in duration.

The Nordics. The five Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden—emphasize military strategy in the Arctic less than the other three Arctic nations, simply because none of their militaries are in any way comparable in size or capability. In fact, Iceland does not maintain a military force other than a coast guard. Instead, they have focused on resources (including oil and gas but also fisheries), strong cooperation on environmental, shipping, maritime and search and rescue issues, and cultural and community elements, including indigenous peoples.

All five countries have, moreover, woven the Arctic into their own foreign and domestic policies to a significant degree, including strong domestic commitment to scientific research and environmental protection in the region. This is not to say that they speak with one voice on all issues. Diplomatic egos in Sweden, Finland and Iceland have been bruised by Denmark and Norway snubbing them in forming a “group of five” (together with Canada, Russia and the United States) within the Arctic Council on the basis of the five’s special status due to their extensive coastal areas within the region. But having had control of the Arctic Council for 10 years out of every 16, the Nordics are very important actors on Arctic issues.

China. Technically speaking, China is not an Arctic nation. No part of China extends north of the Arctic Circle, and China does not have any territorial possessions in the Arctic. Yet Beijing has acted in ways that make its interest in the Arctic quite clear, both officially and unofficially. While urging the world to keep the Arctic outside the sovereignty of any one state, or group of states, China is simultaneously expanding its influence within the Arctic nations, particularly in Iceland and Norway.

Huang Nubo, a Chinese businessman with strong ties to the country’s government, sought to purchase a large piece of land in Iceland (where his request was rejected) and Norway, where he successfully acquired a sizeable tract close to the northern city of Tromsø. While Huang denies that he is acting on behalf of Beijing, many see the hand of the Communist Party in these dealings. In Iceland, the Chinese embassy has quickly become the largest foreign embassy in Reykjavík and Iceland-China ties are rapidly expanding.

China’s main interests in the Arctic appear to be threefold: curbing Russia’s influence in the region; securing access to the shipping route north of Russia for shorter shipping times to Europe and North America; and developing positive relations with nations that may hold the key to major future energy resources in the Arctic. China is well prepared for the Arctic’s future and appears ready to assume a major role there as conditions change.

A Q&A with Special Representative for the Arctic Admiral Robert Papp

1. Do you feel that enough resources (money, staff, etc.) are provided to adequately address Arctic issues?
In a resource-constrained environment, we have been fortunate that the State Department has directed sufficient resources to fulfill the requirements of a successful Arctic Council chairmanship. The administration has also looked for ways to elevate efforts in the Arctic across the government by standing up the Arctic Executive Steering Committee to coordinate and prioritize activities, making the most of resources in each department and agency. Further, during President Obama’s recent travels to Alaska, he committed resources to specific initiatives related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, coastal erosion, and safety and security in the Arctic.

2. Is the United States concerned about the Arctic plans of other nations, specifically Russia and China?
At the current time, the sovereignty rights of the eight Arctic states are globally recognized and respected, and the United States has no immediate concerns with the Arctic plans of other nations. Although Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has strained its relations with the Arctic states and has complicated some of our work on Arctic issues, we continue to work with Russia through the Arctic Council and are maintaining activities related to protecting the Arctic environment, ensuring maritime safety and conducting law enforcement operations. China’s role as an observer in the Arctic Council enables China to be aware of issues that may affect the country’s interests, and provides a mechanism through which China can contribute to the work of the council.

3. Beyond climate change, what is the No. 1 strategic U.S. goal in the Arctic?
President Obama and Secretary Kerry have both affirmed that a secure and well-managed Arctic marked by international cooperation is a key priority of the United States. The Arctic Executive Steering Committee, charged by executive order to prepare for a changing Arctic and to enhance coordination of national efforts, will implement a comprehensive and long-term vision for our Arctic engagement through the National Strategy for the Arctic Region.

4. Would a Senate-confirmed “Ambassador-at-Large for Arctic Affairs” help elevate the profile of Arctic issues?
The establishment of a special representative position was an important step in demonstrating the State Department’s commitment to the Arctic and ensured visibility of Arctic issues at the highest levels of our government leading into the preparations for the Arctic Council chairmanship. With continued strong support from Secretary Kerry and President Obama, I am confident that I have the stature and authority to carry out my mission.

5. Would ratification of the UNCLOS treaty affect the way the United States is able to impact events in the Arctic?
Joining the Law of the Sea Convention remains a top priority for this administration. Melting ice in the Arctic is creating new risks, opportunities and responsibilities. As a party to the convention, the United States can best protect the navigational freedoms enshrined in the convention and fully secure its sovereign rights to the vast resources of our continental shelf beyond 200 miles from shore.

America and the Arctic

So where does this leave the United States? U.S. involvement in the Arctic up to this point has been mostly related to science, energy exploration, and bilateral and multilateral treaty negotiations through the Arctic Council. The first Arctic strategy of any consequence was issued by the George W. Bush administration in January 2009; there was no comprehensive Arctic vision before that time. Because the Obama administration has not issued its own strategy, the 2009 version—known as National Security Presidential Directive 66/Homeland Security Presidential Directive 25, or NSPD 66/HSPD 25—is the official Arctic policy of the United States. The document lays out in general terms what American goals are for the Arctic, touching on national security, the environment, energy resources, international cooperation and indigenous populations. In many ways, these mirror the official focus areas of the Arctic Council, whose chairmanship Washington first held from 1998 to 2000.

The Department of State is the lead agency on issues having to do with the Arctic due to its status as the home of the office tasked with Arctic Council relations. Many other agencies, however, including Commerce, Transportation, Defense, Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation, work on Arctic issues under State’s direction. The Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs resides within State’s Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, and is led by the recently appointed first-ever Special Representative for the Arctic, retired Admiral and former Coast Guard Commandant Robert Papp. That office itself has four full-time employees dedicated to working on Arctic issues.

True, State has elevated the importance of Arctic issues in recent years. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar became the first U.S. cabinet officials to attend an Arctic Council ministerial meeting in 2011, and Secretary John Kerry has attended two in the intervening years. President Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to venture north of the Arctic Circle in August, when he attended the GLACIER conference on Arctic issues, organized by the Department of State, in Anchorage, Alaska. (Obama’s focus was on climate change.) The visibility is there, but what about resources and concrete actions?

One significant stumbling block is the U.S. failure—so far—to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. As a result, the United States is deprived of a voice in many of the forums where matters relating to the Arctic are discussed and decided on.

One significant stumbling block for the United States is the failure—so far—to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Voices of Dissent

In late August 2015, The New York Times made the following claim on its front page: “U.S. Is Playing Catch-Up in Scramble for the Arctic.” While focusing mostly on military assets, and particularly in comparison with Russia’s actions, journalist Steven Lee Meyers makes the case that the United States has not devoted enough resources to the Arctic, and that it is significantly behind the other Arctic nations and even China, Singapore and South Korea in many areas.

“We have been for some time clamoring about our nation’s lack of capacity to sustain any meaningful presence in the Arctic. … The United States really isn’t even in this game,” current Coast Guard commandant Admiral Paul Zukunft tells Meyers. There are other voices of dissent. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is a strong advocate for devoting resources and attention to the Arctic, and is the co-founder, with Maine Senator Angus King, of the Senate’s Arctic Caucus. In addition to her disagreements with President Obama’s environmental policies in the Arctic, she is dissatisfied with the lack of specificity and “no real path of action” in the administration’s pronouncements on the Arctic, most recently the 2014 Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region. In response to what she sees as a lack of funding for Arctic priorities, Murkowski is said to be preparing to introduce an Arctic infrastructure bill.

Heather Conley, the noted Arctic expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, has expressed disappointment with the U.S. agenda for its Arctic Council chairmanship and wondered why there is not greater focus on more traditionally geopolitical issues in the Arctic. Climate change is all well and good, but in her words from a CSIS Commentary piece: “Tough, national decisions about Arctic readiness should have been made years ago and assessments must be made about the Arctic’s future security environment. There is not a moment to lose.”

In fact, it is a challenge to find someone outside of the administration who gives Washington a good grade on the Arctic. Even a 2014 Government Accountability Office report on Arctic issues found significant problems with coordination among the various agencies tasked with disparate parts of the Arctic portfolio and tied this directly to a lack of resources to devote to these issues. The GAO clearly identified the Department of State as the lead agency and provided a recommendation to improve coordination. State agreed; no follow-up report has been issued, so it’s impossible to know how much—or little—has been done to address the problems identified by the GAO.

What Is the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea?

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (often referred to as the Law of the Sea Treaty) was originally agreed to in 1982 and became binding in 1994.

The Encyclopedia of Earth defines UNCLOS as “the most comprehensive attempt at creating a unified regime for governance of the rights of nations with respect to the world’s oceans. The treaty addresses a number of topics including navigational rights, economic rights, pollution of the seas, conservation of marine life, scientific exploration, piracy and more.”

The treaty has been ratified by 167 parties; notably, the United States is not among them. In 2012, the last time a vote was attempted on the treaty in the Senate, enough Senators signaled their intention to vote against it that it could not gain the assent of two-thirds of the Senate. It therefore remains unratified.

The main arguments against the treaty are that it impinges on U.S. sovereignty, including through international dispute arbitration and imposition of binding rules.

It should be noted that there is significant support outside the Senate for ratification; for instance, within the military and the business community as well as among scientists.

UNCLOS is rapidly becoming more important in matters of the Arctic, its resources and land distribution. The continued U.S. failure to ratify the treaty will soon impinge on America’s ability to contribute to decisions on these issues through the acknowledged international frameworks.

What Next?

It will become increasingly important to tie the allocation of resources to the actions of other Arctic nations, specifically Russia. As Moscow becomes more emboldened in the high north, it will become a strategic imperative to have the capacity to respond diplomatically, not just militarily. The Department of State must have the financial and human resources required to respond to any kind of challenge that may arise in the Arctic. Those in Congress who support a stronger U.S. role in the Arctic must back up their words with the budgetary support that is required. Without the ability to enhance infrastructure such as port facilities in the Arctic or build more than the two recently announced new icebreakers, we risk falling behind.

More financial resources are one part of the solution, but the Department of State—as the designated lead agency on Arctic issues—can provide another part of the solution, as well. As U.S. interests in the Arctic change, it will become increasingly imperative to develop a cadre of Foreign Service officers and specialists who are experts in the diplomacy, politics and even science of the Arctic. The department needs to build up and maintain an in-house expertise on the issue that is not reliant on a succession of political appointees, special envoys and Schedule B scientific and technical advisers. The United States should ensure that the Arctic is a specific portfolio for one Foreign Service member in each of its embassies in the Arctic Council members’ capitals, as well as in Beijing. Such a group of in-house diplomats will be able to work on the inevitable issues arising from the ongoing melting of Antarctic ice and the future race for influence in that region.

Passing the proposed bill on the establishment of a Senate-confirmed ambassador-at-large for Arctic affairs would also raise the profile of the Arctic within the federal government. Having a special representative is a step up from earlier practice; but this issue will only gain in prominence in the future, and the bureaucracy should reflect that.

The United States is used to a leadership role on global issues, particularly those that affect us at home. The Arctic is such an issue. It affects our oceans, our energy future, the people of Alaska, our business and transportation sectors, and our diplomatic relations. Our Department of State and the Foreign Service can not only embrace that role, but excel at it.

It was a modern take on an arranged marriage that was supposed to lead to my happily ever after. The rules were simple:

1. Marry a complete stranger chosen for you by professionals.
2. Live together as man and wife for eight weeks while cameras record your every move.
3. Make a decision to stay together or get a divorce.

Call me crazy, but I had complete faith in the process, until I saw who was waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

Austin James has never met me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know him. With no other choice, I say my vows and pray I can make it through the next eight weeks. Then I’ll leave. What connects us is my best kept secret, and I’ll protect it at all costs even if that means walking away from the only person I’ve ever cared about.

This is the first book in the Hopeless Vows Series.

Airport Codes

This airport is built on just one square mile. 737s are a common sight, yet it was designed for DC-3s.

Arriving aircraft must touch down as close as possible to the beginning of Runway 10, right after Maho Beach.

Sugar Loaf mountain rises above Santos Dumont Airport. Nearby are Ipanema and Copacabana beaches.

Already? Love the Sloggers, Nobody ask me to move

1. Birds have left cherry pits along the garden fence. A telltale sign that the cherries are ripe.
2. After careful thought, I put the Target gift card to good use on gardening items. The absolute best thing I bought are the rubber Sloggers. No more wet feet!
3. Crossing the bucolic campus of Hollins University loses a bit of it's appeal in 96° temperatures. But once we enter Talmadge Recital Hall with its polished wood paneling and air conditioning, I am revived. Tess can practice all she needs and I'll just sit here...

1 comment:

  1. My parents had a cherry tree and the birds got most of the cherries every year, no fail. I have never heard of sloggers! They look great! It is really hot where you are. I would have no energy in that kind of heat!! xxoo

Hot and humid, They're here!, Blackberry sauce

1. I assumed we would be drinking coffee, but she served iced coffee instead. We chatted over swirling ice cubes.
2. I ate the first garden tomato! There were two ripe, the yellow kind, and I saved the second one for someone else.
3. I made an excellent blackberry sauce to pour over grilled pork tenderloin.

Saute 3 diced shallots in 2 tablespoons butter for 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup dry white wine and simmer on low until reduced, about 13 minutes. Whisk in 3 tablespoons all-fruit blackberry jam (I used Smuckers), 2 tablespoons additional butter, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 more minutes until slightly thickened. Garnish with fresh blackberries.

4. How could I forget our rousing game of scrabble. Steve won with a 72 point word, "garblers". Spell-check says that's not even a real word?? Tess came in second and that left me last. (I let him win.)

  1. I am completely hopeless at scrabble, but I do think you ought to think about food blogging. You eat like a queen. :)

  2. The blackberry sauce sounds quite scrumptious.

Andrei Roiter

Throughout the oeuvre of Andrei Roiter, living and working in both Amsterdam and New York, the idea of being on the move has become a crucial subject. He is constantly mapping the world, as an observer, creating a new order for his memories, and excavating them as an archaeologist. He reflects on his homeland as a ‘wanderer,’ or artist-tourist,’ as Victor Missiano describes the key attitude in his work. Roiter works with a number of media, including sculpture, drawing, photography, installation, and painting. His layered method frequently starts with building three-dimensional objects that he calls ‘props’, made of found materials and with an archetypical aura. Often, Roiter paints ´still lifes´ of these odd props. In this translation of poor material into poetic and meaningful form, he feels himself close to movements as arte povera.

Andrei Roiter was born in Moscow in 1960. He attended the Moscow Institute of Architecture from 1978-1980, during which time he began to show his works in underground exhibition spaces. Since the mid-80’s Roiter took part in several international exhibitions of Russian art in Europe and the U.S. Since 1990, Roiter has lived in the West, exhibiting in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan and USA. Among the more notable exhibitions were those at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; SF Museum of Modern Art; Ludwig Forum-Achen; Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, Germany; Schiedam State Museum, Netherlands; Kunstmuseum Solothurn, Switzeland; Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Moscow; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Netherlands; Centre Pompidou, Paris and in Museum Bonnefanten in Maasticht, Netherlands. Roiter currently lives between NY and Amsterdam. His work is in many private and public collections throughout the globe, mostly in the US, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Housing For All

Dear Alibi,

Two recent stories in the Weekly Alibi (the Safe City Strike Force story, aptly titled "Appetite for Destruction," by Tim McGivern in the June 2-8 Alibi, and the Del Rey Mobile Home Park victory story, titled "Turf War," by Christie Chisholm in the June 9-15 Alibi) shed light on a serious issue confronting our community: the loss of real and potential affordable, economically diverse housing in Albuquerque at the hands of both the city and private developers, and the need for the community to demand a city response to that loss.

The Safe City Strike Force boasts how "with a little luck in the next three to four months we'll have three motels taken down." But at what costs to our public safety and to the diversity of our community? The Strike Force, by closing down "nuisance" motels, single family homes and apartment buildings without accounting for the well-being of those evicted, is actually making our streets less safe and working counter to its stated intentions. There is nothing "safe" about living on the street, and there is nothing safe about creating more homeless people in Albuquerque. Until the city adopts a comprehensive plan for replacing these lost housing units for our low-income neighbors, our streets and our neighborhoods will continue to become more dangerous as people who are evicted from nuisance properties—the majority of whom are not criminals—end up homeless or fall victim to the next unscrupulous landlord.

No one should live in unsafe, derelict and substandard housing, but the actions of the Safe City Strike Force do not account for the planned redevelopment of affordable housing to replace the low-income units just destroyed. Rather, once the vacated property or land is sold, the next step is uncoordinated and unchecked redevelopment: a loft, condo or other development that most of us, including, most importantly, the low-income people who were just evicted, cannot afford. As low-income people are forced out of their housing, the city must be responsible to them as part of our whole community, developing plans that help to embrace the social and economic diversity that makes Albuquerque a great place to live. A "revitalized urban landscape" needs to include the entire community, not just those who can afford to live in a "trendy corridor."

Our entire community, especially those whose housing is at risk, must send a message to the mayor and the Council: we will not stand idly by while our housing is demolished or bought out from under us, and we demand that the city find a way to accomplish economic development and public safety goals while living up to its responsibility to preserve our community, promote economic diversity and ensure that we all have safe and affordable housing. One excellent way to deliver this message, especially in election season, is to register to vote. Let your elected officials know that you have registered to vote, show up at campaign events and demand answers. And vote on election day.

Give Freelance a Chance

Dear Alibi,

Gwyneth is gone. Long live Gwyneth. Now, can we all stop whining and give the new guy a chance? Scott Sharot is known to be a knife and fork man of the first water. He's also been seen around town as a writer/performer with New Mexico's primo comedy improv troupe, the Hit and Run Players. The guy can eat. The guy can write. The guy even has some good recipes to share. His reviews have already led me to worthwhile new restaurants, not to mention an exceptional new rest room. I say let him have a run at it.

Free Will for War Babies

Dear Alibi,

Maybe Jim Scarantino should change the name of his column from "The Real Side" to "The Ridiculous Side." Recently ["Fresh Meat ... Not So Fast," June 16-22], he spent his entire column going on about how shameful it is that Bush's daughters and the offspring of other Republicans aren't being made to go to war in Iraq. This column would've made a lot more sense to me if there was an element of humor in it, but as it is I must assume that Mr. Scarantino actually holds it against these politicians for not sending their kids to war.

As pig-pen shitty and far removed from democracy as this country has become, last I checked the offspring of politicians still had the right to free will. Surely these kids, as privileged and loyal as most of them likely are, still have a right to disagree with the policies and actions of their parents. It's absurd to seriously hold them accountable to political positions they had nothing to do with implementing. Am I to assume that Scarantino also condones arranged marriages?

Rich Latta

We're Rich! Rich Beyond Our Wildest Dreams!

Dear Alibi,

I've finally figured out the reason your paper is plump with titty bar ads and covering mostly subjects and music that appeal to the under-17 disenfranchised skateboard-boy demographic. You are selling your little business. My 11-year-old nephew loves "Jimmy Eat World" as do all his pals; but Jason Victor Serinus and Michael Henningsen used to cover what my nephew calls "real" music (jazz and classical). Making your fine little weekly into the same as every other fine little weekly across the country is not necessarily going to get you a better price for it. Teenage angst does sell; but New Mexico is different. Anyway, all you have to do is keep the movie times and you are assured 99.9 percent of your readership will remain loyal. Why not throw the over-90 IQ demographic a bone in the meantime?

Yesterday was pretty exciting

for all involved. Lucy's litle friend Jenee had her 4th Birthday Party at AMF bowling at Tingalpa. As if a bowling party wasn't ambitious enough for 13 (YES that many!!) 2 - 4 year olds, it was a dress up party as well. They looked SO CUTE! And Lucy had the best time. She has so much fun, and loved every minute of it.

We took her along dressed as Queen Bee - we found her costume at the Redcliffe Kite Festival a few weeks ago, and figured it would be perfect. Teamed it up with a long sleeve black shirt and a pair of black tights (cause its kind of cold in winter here), as we ended up with one super.dooper.cute.queen.bee.

As if that wasn't exciting enough - then we took Lucy into Roma St Parklands to see the Dora the Explorer show as part of the celebrations for QLD's birthday (Dont ask me how old we are, I wasn't listening)! Her friend Jenee and family came along and had a lovely time wandering around the parklands, playing in the "dora maze", and seeing the robot, and the dancing lizard.

I have to say, Lucy woke up really early yesterday morning excited about going to the party. And then around the time she was meant to be in bed asleep, we were getting on a train to go into the parklands, and then we did lots of walking, and dancing and playing, so she was EXHAUSTED. And a saint. Really, she hardly played up at all the entire day, and the couple of times a meltdown looked set to happen, we managed to divert her attention quickly and relatively easily. I was very proud of her. It was a big day for us Adults - how she handled herself so well is a miracle to me!

I really do have the BEST daughter ever xo

What is in Your Pets' Food?

Is the Pet Food Label Helpful?

The pet food label can still be helpful, just not for the ingredient list. The most important thing to look for is a statement that says " this food is formulated according to AAFCO standards and has had feeding trials."  AAFCO stands for the Association of American Feed Control Officials ; this group sets national standards for animal feeds.  Feeding trials actually prove the food is nutritious.

Every day we are besieged with pet food advertisements, in magazines, newspapers and on television. Tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars are spent per year trying to convince us that their pet food is the best. Who to believe?  What is really in pet food?  Is the pet food label helpful?

A Chapman University study tried to help shed some light on the question. The research, to be published in the journal Food Control, used DNA testing to determine what meats were really in the food and compared that to the label. Fifty-two foods were tested, but the brands were not identified in the article.  The foods were obtained from retail and on-line sources.  The foods were tested for beef, chicken, lamb, goat, turkey, goose, pork, and horse.

Of the 52 foods tested, 51 tested positive for chicken, even though many did not have chicken on the label.  Pork was the most common undeclared meat, found in 35 of the food samples. Even more disturbing was the fact that seven of the foods had none of the main meat that was listed in the ingredients.

A positive note was that none of the 52 foods contained horse meat.   This had been a concern since horse meat had been found in Europe in ground meat products for human consumption.

How important are these findings?  Even though there may be a different protein than what is listed on the label, the food may still be nutritious, balanced, and good for your pet. The main effect would be for those pets that have a food allergy. Food allergy has been found to be common in dogs; signs can range from itchy skin to chronic vomiting and/ or diarrhea. The most common food ingredient that dogs are allergic to is chicken.  So this study is significant in that it shows that chicken is in so many foods, whether it is listed on the label or not.

You can discuss nutrition with your veterinarian. Many are recommending that food-allergic dogs be fed foods where the manufacturer does DNA testing on their own products. This ensures that their suppliers are accurate and establishes the purity of their products.

Holding a Crane

Today, I checked on the web news, and saw that there was something that I hadn't really expected: A video by Brian Chan and Jason Ku, called "Origami Ultimate Challenge". I might give some spoilers, so you may want to watch the video before reading any further.
Anyways, the very ending of the video inspired me to fold what I did, without realizing it. I started off by trying to fold a hand, and then I tried making that hand hold something. The first thing that came to my mind was a crane. I got to folding, and ended up with the following CP. A 4:1 rectangle works best.
Hand with Crane CP

As you can see from the CP, you can't add anything to the "end" of the arm, because the end is really the middle of the paper. If you fold the paper that leads up to the crane inside the arm that leads to the hand, you will get a better result.

A Squid

As mentioned before, this month's challenge on the french origami forum is mollusks. I decided to try to fold a squid time. So, I started off thinking of how to get six short flaps, two long ones and a body. As usual, I based the model on the corners and got a good result. The only problem is that the top is easy to rip, because all of the layers. Here is the CP that I ended up using:
Squid CP

It shouldn't be too hard to see which part is which. The six flaps have to be pleated upwards so that they don't get in the way of the long tentacles. You should see what I mean when you look at the pictures.

Slow Moving

This month's challenge on the french forum is "on the abandoned beach, and the challenge is to fold Mollusks. These are clams, squid, snails and much more. So, I decided that this would be a good time to try a snail. I started folding and at first tried a 22.5° angle based model, but the shell ended up too small. So, I tried a 15° angle based shell and 22.5° angle based head. And, lucky me, I made a color changed shell without realizing it! Here is the CP that I came up with. The lines from the bottom corner are, as I mentioned, 15°.
Snail CP

The CP just gives a basic idea of how to make it. There are multiple layers made in certain areas, but I didn't show those folds. However, you should be able to get to the base using this. After that, good luck with the shell. It takes a while to shape.

They're everywhere!

This month's challenge on the english origami forum was "something microscopic", and the guidelines were anything smaller than a flea. I looked around for microscopic things, and eventually found what I wanted: a Dust Mite. I started folding it, and ended up basing it my dog and ant designs, both of which I am diagramming right now. Here is what I ended up with as a CP:
Dust Mite CP

The body needs a lot of folds to get it in the right place, and the mouth needs to be made out of the front flap. Take a look at some dust mite pictures to get an idea of how to shape it.

A Dog

I recently had to do two projects about l'Hôtel de Glace (the Ice Hotel) in Québec. My first project was about moving the setting to Africa, and my next I chose to make 3 important models about the book. I had already folded the Igloo, so I decided to try a dog and a man in a parka. The man was just a simple man, using 22.5° angles and five flaps, but the dog was another matter. I started by dividing a fifth and making the head, which I based loosely on Joisel's rat, and then i folded the two corners on either side to the middle.
On the CP, the horizontal and vertical lines nearest to the top corner are one fifth.
Dog CP

After folding all this, you need to stretch the leg flaps out, and then shape the body. The leg part is a pretty hard step, so good luck!

Traditional Frog, and Then Some

The other day, I had half a sheet of paper and I started to fold it, like I usually do. I ended up with some weird waterbomb base thing. I showed it to my friend, and he said "Now fold it into something". So, I started to fold and recognized what I was folding. It was the traditional frog, except with a mouth and different front legs. Over all, I like how the model ended up because it still jumps normally (except that the head is a bit heavier). Here is the simple CP, from half of a 8.5:11 paper (17:11)
Frog CP

Here is how it should end up. Theres not much to do after folding the base, just fold the legs and shape the mouth.

  1. i want to enroll in nursing at gwinnett tech, have any one enrolled there for nursing? if so what was the process? and is it very competitive, i know they just started this program up because they dropped lpn

    Hi! I applied to Gwinnett Tech in November when I found out they were starting a nursing program. From what I was told the program is very competitive. I believe you have to have all the pre-reqs done before you start as well (but I may be wrong). I know you need at least A&P 1 and 2, micro, probably a chem class, and a math class. I ended up not going there because I was accepted to MCG. But I believe there is a discussion going on in the Georgia forum. Hope that helps a little bit. Good luck!!

    You have to have all your pre reqs done before you can apply....all I needed was AP II - taking currently, have 4.0 GPA in science pre reqs and was told that they wouldn't even look at my application for fall 09 class.... because I had not completed AP II yet....
  5. by   Ollyoxalls
    You must have A&P1, A&P2, Micro, Eng1, Psyc1, and Math before you can apply. These are the only classes that they look at to calculate your gpa for program entrance. If you have the minimum gpa for these classes then you are invited to take their entrance test (evolve reachA2). Acceptance into the program is point based. For example if you had a 4.0 in those classes then you would receive 50 points, and if you made a 100 on the entrance test then you would receive another 50 points. There were also about 1.5 bonus points and up to an additional 5 points(for the interview). Bonus points were as follows: if you have written documentation from an employer that you worked/volunteered in a health care setting you received 0.5 points, if you finished all the co-requisites then you also received 0.5 points, and if you were currently enrolled at GTC then also got 0.5 points. The top 60 students were invited to an interview where you could gain up to an extra 5 points. For anyone interested... I was accepted and I calculated my total points to be about 86.07 minus what I may have made on the interview.

moving stuff back and forth. again and it was my Birthday.

Hi Everyone,
I had a wonderful birthday.  I went out to eat at La Note in Berkeley and Acquacotta right here in Alameda.  Both places are so very good.

I am taking a clue from my housemate Ruth.  She has reorganized her workspace and fabric.  It looks great and I want to be organized too.   However, I keep moving things from my home to the shop and back again.  Someday I will have it done and organized.

Off I go to be productive.  :)

Easy Blueberry Pie

    30 min

    My daughter loves blueberries so I like to make this pie when blueberries are on offer at the supermarket. You can just as easily use blackberries. It's a nice summer dessert served cold with custard or whipped cream.

    150 people made this

    Serves: 8

    • 1 20cm (8 in) pastry case, baked and cooled
    • 675g (1 1/2 lb) fresh blueberries
    • 1 tablespoon plain flour
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 100g (4 oz) caster sugar

    Prep:20min  ›  Cook:10min  ›  Ready in:30min

    1. Pour half of the blueberries into the baked pastry shell.
    2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine flour, butter, lemon juice and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Add the remaining half of blueberries and bring just to the boil. Berries should begin to pop open.
    3. Pour cooked berries over fresh berries. Chill pie and serve with whipped cream.

    Used different ingredients. Very flavourful pie. I added 1/4 tsp vanilla and cinnamon. I also used more berries. Even though I forgot to add flour, it still turned out delicious! (I won't make that mistake again). It was a little runny, but not a disaster. Just a note: it's important to taste the berries before you begin, so you can adjust the sugar accordingly. Will definitely make this again. Thanks!  -  21 Jul 2008

    This recipe is SUPER easy and delish! I baked it for some friends and they ate it right up. We picked blueberries, so they were very fresh and large, and the pie was just the right amount of sweet and tart. The lemon juice isn't overpowering, and the fact that a layer of blueberries isn't cooked means you'll have a pie that won't completely fall apart or get runny.  -  21 Jul 2008

    This is an easy, and by far the best, blueberry pie I've ever made. I look forward to making this pie because it's such a treat. Thanks, Nancy.  -  21 Jul 2008

    Very simple but sooo colourful and has the 'wow' factor!  -  25 Oct 2011

    Looks wonderful, you're guaranteed oohs and aahs when you serve this up. Serve with tear and share bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a bowl of hoummos.  -  26 Aug 2013

    I tried this exactly as the recipe calls for and ended up with soggy lettuce in between layers of meat and cheese. The instructions for the provolone was way too much cheese and I would cut in half. I would agree with the review with suggests simply laying all the different ingrediants side by side on a platter. Great ingrediants, but be prepared to spend a few $$. This is not an inexpensive recipe! I'll try it again, and see if laying all the ingrediants side by side helps. Nov. 2004 - Back again! I tried this again with a few modifications and it was great. Left out the lettuce, fresh mushrooms, green olives and gorganzola. I was going for a very firm, compact dish and wanted to eliminate soft ingredients or anything that might be hard to cut. I layered all the ingredients in a 13x9 dish and then place it into the freezer, just until it was very cold. (not frozen, though). This enabled me to slice the dish into neat, bite sized squares which I then stuck a toothpick in and made an appetizer platter. Great hit because of the small bite-sizes and all the low-carb dieters loved it!  -  23 Sep 2002  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
