Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said there is "still a coup in progress" against President Donald Trump in his first public address since being pardoned by the president.
Flynn, who also served during the Obama administration as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and then as Trump's national security adviser, warned Americans on Saturday that there is currently an "assault" on our way of life that has been going on since the beginning of Trump's presidency.
"They've upped their game," Flynn said of certain figures in the Democratic Party, which he said was so "in name only" since its shift "way over on the left."
"When they lost in 2016, I think that there was a decision to say, 'We're not going to allow this to happen again,'" Flynn said of the Democratic Party's leadership.
He then pointed to the heightened political divisiveness during the entire four years of the Trump presidency, during which time the mainstream media alongside what he described as effectively the "Democratic Socialist Party of America" have been trying to remove Trump from office.
"I mean, I think what we experienced over the last four years—and certainly in the late 2016, early 2017 period—was a very strong effort to unseat a duly elected president," Flynn said.
He said that Trump, as a non-politician from New York, faced an unprecedented onslaught of political, technological, and also financial pressure early in his tenure to force him to walk away from politics.
"I know there was some sentiment that maybe he'll just … say, 'You know what, I don't need this stuff. I got better things to do,' and leave.
"Thank God that he didn't," Flynn said.
But as Trump remained in office, Flynn said the political establishment and the media continued to go after him "in any way possible," which played out publicly in "psychological operations" such as Russia probe and House Democrats' impeachment effort, and more recently the politicization of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
Now, Flynn claimed, because the Democratic Party didn't achieve the result in the vote it needed to secure its candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, in the White House, America is seeing "theft with mail-in ballots" and "theft with this Smartmatic software and Dominion systems."
"This is still a coup in progress," he said.
He went further to say that the ideological cousin of America's far-left political groups, the Chinese Communist Party, has interests in supporting such a coup.
"What we have seen is … over the last probably two decades … is a complete shift in how fast, I believe, that communist China in their long term plan decided to sort of move up their plans to become the sole global superpower on the planet.
"I believe when during the last 2016 election, when they didn't get the candidate that they needed, and the kind of ideology that they they saw America moving towards, they were not going to allow 2020 to happen," Flynn said, blaming the foreign-owned software systems used in the election for leaving the country vulnerable to foreign interference.
But he added, with the "hundreds and hundreds" of American patriots across the country coming forward to offer their witness testimony as affidavits to "warriors" on the legal battleground, like Rudy Giuliani and Lin Wood, "I believe we're going to see some momentum changing here.
"There already is an undercurrent of momentum shifting for the president and I believe that at the end of the day, we're going to find out that he won by a massive landslide and he'll be inaugurated come this January," Flynn said, referring to the numerous legal challenges currently pending or being considered by courts in battleground states and the supreme court.
Flynn made headlines in 2017 when he was targeted by the intelligence community for charges of "Russia collusion."
While he pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017, to one count of lying to the FBI over speaking to then-Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak during Trump's 2016 transition period, Flynn later withdrew his plea, saying that it was part of a deal with prosecutors over threats of charges targeting his son. The retired general also accused the government of misconduct related to his case.
His case was used by the media to push the unsubstantiated narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to sway the outcome of the 2016 election.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Nov. 10 that the FBI's motivation for pursuing Flynn was "bogus political persecution and prosecution" by those who disagree "politically with President Trump."

Un-install the game, delete the IL2 Sturmovik folder from your hard drive.
PS: Only if you want to edit the speach files you can install 1.2ov after the 1,2 patch.
patching the game isn't going to help - in the SP you can't (at least I can't) keep up with the rest of the wing.
They simply fly faster, climb better and get WAY ahead of you no matter what.
I've had the same trouble. Check SIMHQ - I think it's just the game. I do as good as I can but it does mess up the SP game.
what or where is SIMHQ i'll check it out... The only bummer is that it was find straight out of the box but I Maddox dicided it is better if the wing boots away from you..

Government default? It's already happened, twice
Posted: October 16, 2013 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Economics, History, Politics, U.S. News, White House | Tags: Federal government of the United States, Gene Sperling, Jack Lew, James Madison, Jimmy Carter, United States, United States Department of the Treasury, US government, White House |Leave a comment
Tim Cavanaugh writes: Although President Barack Obama and the establishment media routinely describe a potential federal default as "unprecedented," the United States government has flaked on its debt service several times, and one expert says the current default has already begun.
The historical default precedents should be of limited comfort to Obama, however. One of the deadbeat presidents was the commander in chief during a disastrous war that saw Washington, D.C. occupied and the White House burned to the ground. The other was Jimmy Carter.
According to Connie Cass of Associated Press, the U.S. government "briefly stiffed some of its creditors on at least two occasions." The first default took place in November 1814, during the administration of James Madison, America's tiniest chief executive. Just a few months after the British conquest of Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812, the Treasury was unable to move enough precious metal to service its debt, and missed interest payments on bonds. Boston bondholders, according to Wayne State College history professor Don Hickey, were paid off in short-term interest-bearing treasury notes or more bonds. These debt service troubles, and the war, were resolved within a few months.
A more recent default came in 1979 under President Carter, who, until Obama, held the record for presiding over the country's longest post-World War II period of economic stagnation. Cass attributes the '79 default to "a back-office glitch that ended up costing taxpayers billions of dollars." She writes, "The Treasury Department blamed the mishap on a crush of paperwork partly caused by lawmakers who — this will sound familiar — bickered too long before raising the nation's debt limit."
The Carter default is potentially more relevant because it occurred under the 14th Amendment, a post-Civil War change to the constitution that declared the "validity of the public debt….shall not be questioned."
These precedents for an event the president describes as unexampled in U.S. history are unlikely to get much attention from media that have been eager to ape the administration's terror-mongering over the debt ceiling increase. Executive branch efforts to whip up hysteria have gotten wide distribution and arguably caused minor financial panic.
The Obama administration has energetically promoted an apocalyptic view of the debt ceiling fight, even though default would not automatically result if Congress failed to hike the U.S. borrowing limit.
These efforts may be bringing diminishing returns, however, as hysteria fatigue sets in among a public that has now listened to six years of flop-sweat screaming from Washington Chicken Littles. Americans were assured of a global financial meltdown during the real estate correction of 2007 and 2008. This did not happen, although the government's "solution" — multi-trillion-dollar bailouts and stimuli, coupled with a quadrupling of the U.S. monetary base — inflicted persistent, low-level, widespread economic agony that has so far stretched over half a decade, with no end in sight.
A new round of threats came at the beginning of this year. The "fiscal cliff" fight was, as its name implied, advertised as an abysmal plunge in America's economic well-being. The U.S. briefly went over the fiscal cliff, with no ill effects.
This spring, Americans were warned that the sequester — a slight decrease in the rate of growth in government spending — would cause large-scale economic turmoil. This too occurred, without causing any noticeable damage to the already anemic U.S. economy.
At the end of September, the much-abused American people were again warned of economic Armageddon in the event of a government shutdown. The shutdown is now well into its third week and the economy continues to function.
Even Tuesday's news that Fitch may downgrade U.S. debt is something we've seen before, in January of this year.
One knowledgeable observer even says the default has already occurred. Reuters financial reporter Felix Salmon notes that some large financial firms are moving away from holding U.S. government debt. He argues this is a sign that loss of confidence in Treasury debt has begun to sink America's economy. This catastrophe too, is more hypothetical than actual.
"The vaseline, in other words, already has sand in it," Salmon writes. "The global faith in US institutions has already been undermined. The mechanism by which catastrophe would arise has already been set into motion. And as a result, economic growth in both the US and the rest of the world will be lower than it should be. Unemployment will be higher. Social unrest will be more destructive."
Sound money advocates, including former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, have long argued that inflation itself is a form of default — and specifically that the federal government's abandonment of the gold standard during the Depression ripped off creditors who got paid in depreciated dollars rather than in specie.
This thesis rarely gets much traction, in large part because creditors remain satisfied with payment in Federal Reserve greenbacks. Still, it is far more plausible than the recent argument that prioritizing debt service over other government spending is no different than defaulting.
The meme that "prioritization is default by another name" was created in 2011 by Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal Wolin. More recently the notion has caught on as a left-wing talking point, and it has been repeated by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew as well as Gene Sperling, director of Obama's National Economic Council.
Although prioritization is a familiar process to individuals and families who routinely curb spending and tighten budgets in order to avoid missing car, credit card or mortgage payments, neither Lew nor Sperling was laughed at for making this wild claim.
"The administration has been selling this as the first default, and that just ain't so," Hickey, the Wayne State professor and author of "The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict," told The Daily Caller.
He pointed out that the 1814 failure, which is widely described as a "technical" default, was in fact a general suspension of interest payments. But it gets little attention — both because the War of 1812, even in the middle of its bicentennial, is largely unknown, and because there is political value in ratcheting up public terror.
"It is in the interest of the party in power and its media allies to cry wolf," Hickey said. "The more they can persuade the American people that there will be a catastrophe if they don't get what they want, the more they can get what they want."

Threats on President Trump's life and the shooting of Republicans as they practiced softball are followed by the Florida bomber's hate-fueled mail bombing campaign targeting CNN and anti-Trump political figures, including two former presidents.
The very recent Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh was witness to the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S.History; mass shootings are an ongoing fact.
Joining host Dennis McCuistion is Robert E. Hall, author of This Land of Strangers. His recent article in the Huffington Post, The New Religion (rhall55@sbcglobal.net) prompted me to invite him to be our guest to talk about his premise, Destructive Escalation.
Violation is unfortunately the end stage of what used to be somewhat more civil types of disagreement.
First, the final step in the five-step process of destructive escalation is violation that comes from de-humanizing the 'other.' We now see that on a massive scale in all facets of society – that literally leads to murder. Second, my essay, 'The Rise of the Mad-and-Blame Industrial Complex,' describes how – intended or not – the five pillars of politics, media, tech/social media, business and even faith are incentivized and too often sources of division. As I conclude, we as citizens, consumers, and congregants must stop supporting those who produce division.
1. Retaliate: Escalation begins when one party believes the other party has deliberately provoked them. They then retaliate, setting off an ever-increasing cycle of blame and aggression.
2. Stereotype: Each side begins to stereotype the other side as all the same – bad. Whether the sides are divided by race, region, ideology, theology, gender – indiscriminate discrimination rules.
3. Disassociate: Each side then cuts off communication with its adversaries and associates only with their own, leading to increased misunderstanding and distrust.
4. Polarize: Within the group, members become more homogeneous as moderate voices are silenced, punished and often expelled. Leaders compete for power by making more vicious claims about the opposition. Media coverage rewards the most extreme voices.
5. Violate: The last stage is escalation to physical or emotional violence as the parties completely de-humanize each other, legitimizing elimination of the "other" – literally or figuratively.
How do we reverse this trend? Join us for some chilling insights.

Would you like to learn more about using social media to raise your profile and connect with your community? Do you wonder if you're talking to the right people or how you can best present yourself in social media channels?
Community psychologists partner with communities and organize for social change. Increasingly many of our community building efforts incorporate social media to accomplish collaborative aims.
NOTE: We are working to get a recording from this session available on this webpage. Thanks for your patience.
Our first session covered the basics of social media engagement. Susan Tenby described how to create a community of followers from the ground-up, including how to identify evangelists, and how to publish and engage on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin in just a few minutes each day or week.
Susan and Willie bring extensive tools that are useful for a variety of levels of experience with social media. The presentation provides an in depth look into publishing and listening on Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. The techniques introduced to SCRA members are a high-engagement approach to community-building across social media channels that will be excellent training for community psychologists.


Chico >> Organic popcorn, popular cult film showings and a new screen are among the notable changes that have happened at The Pageant Theatre this year, and new owner/manager Miles Montalbano has no shortage of ideas on how to keep the theater alive.
Along with summer came a new air conditioning system and programming: weekend cult movie screenings, like "Boogie Nights" and "A Clockwork Orange," with live musical entertainment and a catered bar before the show. The theater's concessions area, which is next on the renovation check list, now features healthier, more environmentally sustainable soda, popcorn and food that are organic and non-GMO, said Montalbano, a vegan.
The filmmaker was "kinda dropped right into" owning and running the theater once previous owner Tim Giusta stepped down in 2014, he said.
His father, co-owner of Duffy's Tavern, founded the independent, alternative theater with Giusta in 1980.
Montalbano came to Chico from San Francisco, where he attended San Francisco State University. His 2006 film "Revolution Summer" was an official selection for the San Francisco and Montreal international film festivals.
The new owner plans on showing repertory films, getting filmmakers to personally present screenings and speaking with local artists to revamp the side of the building. A lot of people were sad to see the iconic film strip on the theater's red door disappear once its old doors were replaced, he said.
Montalbano is reaching out to the city to see about installing new bike structures near the theater, which is on the corner of on East Sixth and Flume streets. He's implemented $1 discounts for student admission in an effort to bring in a collegiate audience.
The theater has also applied for a liquor license to sell beer and recently renovated its bathroom. When Montalbano stepped in, a lot of things were worn down and needed to be updated, he said. He was, in part, able to make those changes from money the theater received in a crowd-funding campaign two years ago.
In November of 2013, Giusta and Montalbano's father started an Indiegogo campaign to save the theater. Industry standards required the theater to update to digital after 33 years of using 35 mm film, which the industry was no longer supplying.
After receiving donations totalling $60,250 from supporters in Chico, across the U.S. and even abroad in Italy and Singapore, the theater was able to purchase a digital projector, new seats and a surround sound stereo system.
While Montalbano has looked into turning the theater into a nonprofit organization — an increasingly viable option for small, alternative theaters — he said it won't be happening just yet. Though he thinks it is probably the future for the Pageant Theatre, which has only one screen and 100 seats, the theater is promoting its new programs and a sustaining member admissions option as an alternative. It has also taken on an intern in the journalism department at Chico State University to help with promotion and outreach.

The Gift of Giving Blood
The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation partnered with LifeStream Blood Bank to host the largest community blood drive on June 30, 2019 at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino, California.
More than 1,200 WeLoveU Foundation volunteers from various locations such as the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, and even as far as San Diego and Fresno attended the event.

"We've reviewed records and contacted many who were affiliated with our organization in the past," said Dr. Rick Axelrod, LifeStream's president/CEO and medical director. "At no point did we find or hear evidence of so many blood donors expected at one site on one day.
Through this single event, LifeStream Blood Bank collected 750 units of blood. Being that each pint of blood can save up to 3 lives, the total number of potential lives saved through the blood drive is 2,250.
"I'm very impressed! I've heard of the cleanups that have been done in the Community by the WeLoveU Foundation; and now to have the WeLoveU Foundation organize the largest blood drive in the Inland Empire, I'm even more impressed!" said California State Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes of Assembly District 47 who came to show her support. "The volunteers of the WeLoveU Foundation you are everything! The rest of us could talk about it, but you volunteers are the ones doing everything! You're giving blood and you're making sure those who give blood are comfortable! Thank you so much."
"I'm very thankful that they were able to bring this many people together for donations to our community," said Colton City Councilmember Juan Figueroa, "there's a lot of love there's a lot of happiness and there's a lot of joy which is greatly needed right now in our city. I think they bring a very strong positive vibe strong energy and I welcome it with open arms."
California State Senator Connie M. Leyva of the 20th Senate District showed her support by awarding Chairwoman Zahng Gil-Jah of the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation with a certificate of recognition on behalf of the California State Senate. 'On behalf of the California State Senate, it is my privilege to recognize you for your commitment to our community and especially to people in need. Your leadership and dedication to assuring a safe and sufficient blood supply for people in need is evidenced by your hosting the largest blood drive in the Inland Empire. Thank you for what you are doing to promote unity in our community."
The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation Blood Drive came at a fortuitous time as the upcoming Fourth of July holiday means added activity and travel – and, unfortunately, an expected spike in blood need by local first responders and hospitals. Moreover, summertime is an especially challenging time to maintain ample community blood supply. While blood donations typically dip, the need for blood remains constant.
San Bernardino County Supervisor Josie Gonzales also awarded the Chairwoman of the Intl. WeLoveU with a certificate of recognition on behalf of the County of San Bernardino, "Thank you for hosting the largest blood drive in the Inland Empire. Your commitment to promoting awareness of the critical need for this life saving gift is truly commendable. May others follow your noble example of promoting unity in communities around the world. Best wishes for future success."

WeLoveU Foundation
The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation was founded in 2001 by Chairwoman Zahng Gil-Jah in South Korea. The foundation's efforts began in the United States in 2012. The mission of WeLoveU is to create a happier and healthier society by promoting unity and fellowship among all people. This is done through impactful environmental and social welfare initiatives carried out with the heart of a mother.
"The love of a mother means unconditional love. Being able to donate blood to strangers' people you don't even know is the perfect example of a mothers love," expressed Jackie Aboud, legislative representative who presented an award to WeLoveU on behalf of the mayor and city council of the city of San Bernardino.
Assemblywoman Eloise Reyes gave thanks to Chairwoman Zahng Gil-Jah with the message: "I want to say thank you. Thank you for believing in my community and thank you for loving my community with the love of a Mother, and thank you for bringing all of these volunteers to bring life and hope and blood to my community, thank you so much!"

D*FACE x Sync x Medicom 'Dog Save the Queen' Sculpture
'Dog Save the Queen' by D*Face, 2020
Collab. with art toymakers Sync x Medicom Toy.
15.75 Inches tall (sculpture)
19.7 x 16 x 12.2 Inches (box)
Collectible polystone bust art sculpture.
Limited Edition of only 100 (Sold Out).
New in original unopened box.
D*Face and MEDICOM release another designer toy! Both already had previous collaborations with designer art toys before the portfolio just expanded. D*Face x Medicom's Sync brand present to you 'DOG SAVE THE QUEEN' bust. Living legend D*Face adds his trademark signature style to our very own Queen.
D*Face, aka Dean Stockton, is an English multimedia graffiti street artist who uses spray paint, stickers, posters, and stencils. D*Face is one of the most prolific contemporary urban artists of his generation. Working with a variety of mediums and techniques, he uses a family of dysfunctional characters to satirise and hold to ransom all that falls into their grasp.
His aim is to encourage the public not just to 'see', but to look at what surrounds them and their lives, reflecting our increasingly bizarre fascination for with celebrity, fame, consumerism and materialism, re-thinking, reworking and subverting imagery drawn from a refuge of decades of materialistic consumption, imagery appropriated from currency, advertising, comic books, these now iconic motifs, cultural figures and genres are subverted to comment upon our conspicuous society.
One of D*Face's most celebrated icons is D-Dog, a bomb like figure with two tiny wings on the sides. Recent examples of D*Face's satirical and dark humour include his chosen "collaborations"; with H.R.H Queen Elizabeth II on a series of bank notes and the portrait of Pope Benedict XVI to commemorate his instatement. D*Face also designed the cover of Automatic's debut album Not Accepted Anywhere and in 2010 he collaborated with Christina Aguilera on her album cover of Bionic. He was also one of fifty artists commissioned to create a 50th anniversary Penguin book cover and is the only urban artist to date to be featured on the front cover of the fine art publication Art Review.
D*Face describes his artistic method as, 'Like a snail leaving it's sticky trail, I leave my artwork; Stickers, Posters, Marker Drawings on empty advertising space and discarded objects, always on the lookout for that ultimate spot.'
D*Face has exhibited internationally including solo and group exhibitions in London, Stockholm, Barcelona, New York, Hamburg, Paris, San Francisco, Culver City and Los Angeles. Well known exhibitions have included sell out solo shows Death & Glory, EyeCons, aPOPcalypse now, All your Dreams Belong to Us and Going Nowhere Fast.


A teenager from Indonesia working as the solo lamp keeper aboard a wooden raft was rescued just off the coast of Guam after drifting in the ocean for seven weeks, reports the Jakarta Post.
Aldi Novel Adilang, 19, was first swept out to sea on July 14 after a strong wind snapped the line that anchored his fishing raft, called a "rompong," which was positioned 78 miles out into the Pacific Ocean. Adilang was at the mercy of the currents and waves as he had no way to steer himself back, as the raft is not powered by an engine and has no other instruments to control its movements.
"I thought I will never meet my parents again, so I just prayed every day," Adilang told the Associated Press.
Adilang ran out of food after a week and survived by eating fish and drinking partially-filtered seawater, he said.
According to the AP, Adilang's six-month contract with his employer required him to use a lamp at night to capture fish. It is a lonely job, they note, as the rompong's are positioned so far out into the ocean that they can't be seen from shore and other rafts are miles away. Supplies are usually dropped off once every seven days, and he was only left with a gas stove, utensils and a generator.
"I was on the raft for one month and 18 days. My food ran out after the first week," said Adilang.
At one point, Adilang says he was even followed by a shark.
"I could only pray that the shark went away," he told TribunManado news, according to NBC.
Adilang found himself using the lamp and walkie-talkie to try to signal passing boats during the 49 days he was afloat, but each boat passed by with no idea the trouble he was in.
Finally, a Panamanian-flagged vessel spotted Adilang off the coast of Guam, almost 1,200 miles from his original position. Adilang used his walkie-talkie to radio "help" to alert the crew, who fed him and cut his hair once they got him aboard.
The vessel transported Adilang to Japan (their original destination), and he was finally reunited with his family on September 8.
Adilang no longer wants to work on a rompong, he told the AP.

This project is a research study exploring the potential of creating a workforce residential village in the City of Edwards, Colorado. Residents within the Eagle Valley (Edwards and surrounding communities) have working opportunities in nearby locations such as Vail however affordable housing is lacking in this area. The location studied in this research was selected for the positive attributes of being centrally located within this employment region, having reasonable transportation access, located need a watercourse and hiking trail, but most importantly perhaps being located adjacent an abandoned rail line. It is planned that this rail line will be converted to light rail usage thereby making this location a central hub for a transit-oriented development.
The site selected is currently a truck stop serving interstate vehicle traffic. A tree-lined river bank is an existing green belt that is popular for biking and walking. One masterplan version containing 175 living units and 16,000 square feet of commercial space consists of two lofted, linear bars of residences that align the waterfront edge. The organization is directly based on building setback limitations and a desire to maximize the remainder of the parcel as a new park landscape. Transit and commercial opportunities can be found in the northern tip of the site where they are open to the street and rendered as a portion of the overall 'stick' form that is sheared away from the housing block composition. There is a strong cross-axial path that connects the college, the development, and the adjoining commercial properties through a newly created park on the site.

EXPLORING THE DETERMINANTS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP SPIRIT AMONG UNDERGRADUATE IN NIGERIA
Format: MS WORD :: Chapters: 1-5 :: Pages: 70 :: Attributes: Data Analysis, abstract, table of content :: 2,410 people found this useful
In Nigeria today the rate of joblessness is on the increase; because of lack of provision of jobs by the federal government of Nigeria. Entrepreneurship programmes have really tried recently to encourage undergraduate to cultivate the spirit of entrepreneurship while still in school.
The essence of the introduction of the entrepreneurship programmes in most tertiary institutions is to give the undergraduate the necessary knowledge background of the importance of being an entrepreneur.
According to (baudear, 1910); he defined entrepreneurship as an innovative management. Cantillion (1965) described it as self-employment accompanied with uncertainty in returns; Kao (1993) extended the definition to include the process of wealth and value creation. There are so many definition as regard the research topic; according to Schumpeter (1934) he considered the entrepreneur to be an innovator who carried out new combinations; say (1964) and Knight, (1921) were of the view that he was an extraordinary manager with Say considering him a highly talented manager and Knight described him as a managerial risk-taker.
Marshal (1964) drew a distinction between an entrepreneur and a manager. In more recent times Drucker (1985) called him an opportunity maximizer. Recent literature on the entrepreneur can be grouped into the descriptive and the prescriptive approaches, the traits model and the social development model. Under the descriptive approach, an entrepreneur is defined by describing the characteristics or attributes that he possess. Some of the attributes in the literature include the internal locus of control Rotter (1966), a high need for achievement McClelland (1961); Brockhaus, (1980), Clayton (1981) and possession of vision and a sense of mission (Silver, 1986, 1988). Flexibility, imagination and a willingness to take risks were added to the growing list of attribute by Stevenson and Gumpert (1985) form their study. A total of eleven common characteristics were identified in independent studies by Baumback (1981), Welsh and Young (1984), and Welsh and White (1983): namely: good health, realism, superior conceptual ability, self confidence, a need to control or direct (internal locus of control), attraction to challenges, sufficient emotional stability, self – control, initiative, balance and control and enterprises (self –reliant attitude supported by confidence in one's ability to take risks). Sexton and Bowman (1985) study showed the entrepreneur to be tolerant of ambiguity, preferring autonomy, aloof, enjoying risk – taking, resists conformity and readily adapting to changes. Another recent study found entrepreneurs starting larger firms tend to have more education, more management experience and objectives that were more entrepreneurial in nature ( cooper, A. C. et al, 1989). Yee (1992) study supported the risk- taking attitude first presented by earlier studies an entrepreneur is an incubator of novel ideas who is distinguished from the run- of-mill small business sense, innovativeness and the willingness to take risks.
The prescriptive approach sought to prescribe what an entrepreneur should be, and not the characteristics of an entrepreneur, Jean Baptize Say (1762 – 1832), for example prescribed that an entrepreneur must have judgment, perseverance and a knowledge of the world as well as of business.; and must possess the art of superintendence and administration. Richard Cantillon suggested that an entrepreneur needs to have the foresight and willingness to assume risks and take the necessary action to seize profitable opportunities in the market place. Moussair (1988) stated in his (unpublished) Ph.D. thesis that an entrepreneur must have the ability to communicate effectively. Duncan emphasized the need for an entrepreneur should also have the relevant skills for identifying a market niche and developing a venture for that niche as a key ingredient for business success ( Duncan, 1991). Chan and Sobey (1993) stated that a person must have the ability to perceive and evaluate opportunities in a global perspective to be effective as an entrepreneur in the 21st Century. The traits model sought to identify a single personality trait or constellation of traits capable of successfully predicting entrepreneurial behaviour patterns. The best known trait is the " Need Achievement" (nAch) associated with McClelland (1961). Another single trait approach is one which attempts to measure 'locus of control or the extent to which people believe that they control their own destinies.
Gibb and Ritchie (1981) argued that the traditional view, that entrepreneurs were born and not made, largely ignored environmental influences. They proposed a social development model, suggesting that "entrepreneurship can be fully understood in terms of the types of situation encountered and the social groups to which individuals relate." A fourfold typology (the Improvisers, the Revisionists, the Superceders and the Reverters) spanning the life cycle and suggesting certain key influences at each stage was proposed. It has been argued by some psychologists, notably Sheehy (1976), that there are particular turning points throughout the course of the life cycle, where individuals work through personal transitions in order to satisfy and reconcile their own changed goals, needs and ambitions with the opportunities, circumstances and situations which they currently find themselves in. Despite some early acceptance, recent criticisms have been cast on the validity of both approaches. There have been subjectivity and lack of consistency with regard to measurement of the traits. Training designed to raise levels of nAch has been said to influence only surface behaviour and usually results in temporary effects. The social development model has been criticized as being an entirely situational model, which loses sight of the individual. Further, it dose not explain more than the "traditional" view that it was critical of and is equally guilty of not being able to predict who is likely to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Over the past decades, due to constant internal and external pressures of low capacity production, massive unemployment and poverty , collapsed infrastructural facilities, poor governance structure, massive corruption, insecurity of life and property, political instability and poor macroeconomic management. The economy seems to have lost its focus and thus is yearning for quick intervention. The oil boom has destroyed and distorted our attitude to work (resource course) and this has affected the psychological quotient of an average Nigerian who prefers to avoid investments that require special expertise and innovation. Inaddition, the school curriculum is largely not geared towards equipping students with skills required for self-employment. Consequently, thousands of graduates from our tertiary institutions are roaming the streets in search of jobs that are non -existent. Nigeria is blessed with abundant human and natural resources which if properly harnessed would have turned this country into a developed economy. But given the massive corruption, lack of commitment, the dominant role of the public sector in the economic life of the nation, the country has lost opportunities for growth and sustainable development.
1. What are the problem facing the devolpment of entrepreneurship in Nigeria?
2. Does the school have any significant effect on students participation in the entrepreneurship programme?
3. What are the plans of the entrepreneural intention towards the Nigerian undergraduates?
4. Does the tertiary institution encourge their students to become self employed?
5. what is the role of entrepreneurship programme on the attitudes of Nigerian undergraduates towards becoming self employed?
6. Is there any need for entrepreneurship programme in Nigeria?

Barker Thompson
Meet Barker Thompson, our 2019 Songwriter's Challenge Winner
Barker, tell me about yourself
Well I grew up in Jackson, Missouri. Moved to St. Louis when I was about 20. Spent a lot of time traveling around when I was younger, and had quite a few different jobs, but have always been interested in music. So, in '99 I went back to schooll (well it chool (well it was a, originally to learn how to be recording engineer, but found out too late, there were almost no jobs as a "recording engineer" unless I wanted to move. And even then there were no real offers. So, I've been a live sound guy ever since then. I'm 46 now and live with my incredibly cute and sunny wife, who keeps me sane, and my super athlete step-son. I work on my music most days, playing into my meager little set up on my old computer.
How long have you been performing? I've been playing solo for 20 years or more, but don't much anymore. Have played in bands mostly, for around the last 15 years. In one now called The Turtle Dogs.
Do you come from a musical family? Yeah, my granny was a music teacher, and she sang, and played some awesome piano and organ in church while my grandpa, who had a great baritone voice, sang as a regular in their choir. My mom also had a very powerful singing voice, and studied music in college.
Do you have other contest awards? Not as an adult. I'm sure I won some sports trophies when I was a kid, for tee-ball or something, but nothing like this. It's an amazing feeling!
What is your opinion about our contest, that we require a songwriter to use the components we list? There has to be some unique rules, or everyone would enter.
How has the music of John Hartford inspired you? Well I guess you could say I was part of that 90s bluegrass revival, and even though I never really learned to solo in those kind of circles, in the mid-late 90s I lived in a couple different houses where people were always coming by to play. While I had already been listening to Aereo-Plain, one of our roommates at the time had almost everything John Hartford had ever done. He'd collected all the studio stuff, and a lot of live recordings that I haven't seen or heard since. Opened my ears to a world of beautiful yet down-to-earth picking and fiddling, funny lyrics (not on every song, the others are just well written and heartfelt) and great melodies.
I was also lucky enough to see a few of his live shows. A group of us that all piled in the car and went out to Central Missouri State to see one of his shows got to meet him backstage, too. Later we got to pick some tunes with Sharp and Mike Compton at the hotel. I didn't last long with those guys..lol. But that was a fun trip! I still listen to his music all the time, and we cover a couple songs in the band.
Did you begin playing by ear? When I was 6 or 7 my mom sent me to piano lessons, and I tried my best, but I just couldn't learn how to read the music. Then when I was about 11, I really wanted to learn how to shred on electric guitar. I never did. Lessons taught me a couple chords, but no shredding (lol), and no reading music. Got bored with that pretty quick as an 11 year old, so I put it down and didn't pick it up again until I was 18-19. Taught myself since then. So each time, yeah I was just playing by ear. I can't play any other way…unless you give me a lyric sheet with the chords on it ;)
How do you approach songwriting? Usually I have the chord progression first, and then I'll write lyrics to go with it. Sometimes the words come first, and then I'll come up with a set of chords or melody to fit….Sometimes it takes months and even years to get to what I consider to be "done" though.
It's perfectly normal for a songwriter to have tunes and lyrics "drift through". Can you remember ever not having a melody drift through your head? No. There's always a tune on my mind, whether it's just in the beginning stages, or just needs a little something else.
What do you do when you've finished a song, play it back and realize the tune already exists? Yeah sometimes. But that's just a feeling that can easily fade when you add parts, or instruments, change the rhythm a bit, or just play it a few more times and see what comes..
With "Banjo Clown" tell me how that song happened, please. Well, I've been working on it for some time now, and finally felt it was good enough to enter it in the contest. I could probably work on it for another couple years too, but that's probably just me overthinking.
What goes through your mind right before you step onto a stage? Fear, nervousness and excitement. I have A LOT of fun playing music, but I also worry that I'll forget my own lyrics or miss chords. But nobody usually notices that stuff except me or the guys in the band.
Do you attend or teach workshops? What do you get from them? No. I would like to go to some in the future. I'm a terrible teacher though.
What instruments do you play, which is your favorite? Mostly guitar, harmonica, and ukulele. I play a little blues on piano, or try to. I CAN play a very little bit of clumsy banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, trombone, drums, and an instrument I made that I don't know what to call. It's a real ugly 4-string slide resonator, made mostly of stuff from the hardware store.
It's hard to say one favorite. It's probably a 3 way tie between my wife's grandpa's old original Danelectro (that won't ever stay in tune, but sounds awesome plugged into a small amp), an old banjolele (I have no idea who built, but is beautiful and loud), and my go-to acoustic guitar, a Washburn with a built in Fishman pickup.
What can we expect to hear at a Barker Thompson concert? I'm not playing solo at the moment, only with The Turtle Dogs. But I do have some solo recordings coming out soon, so maybe I'll be doing some solo shows too. In that case you'll hear me doing a lot of blues, bluegrass & folk originals and some people I like to cover are John Hartford(obviously), Townes Van Zandt, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt, Paul Simon, Taj Mahal, Son Volt, John Prine and random others that come and go from the list.
I do love harmonies, and have been playing around with multi-tracking at home. A friend suggested that maybe the next step in my evolution should be a loop machine. I don't know. It's not real natural sounding usually, but I've heard people do them justice. Could be fun. At the moment, I've never tried one.
Do you have recordings? Yes. I'm getting ready to start releasing singles within the next month or two, which (most of) will be on my eventual album/cd. Now if I can just figure out how to navigate social media, marketing, copyright and distribution all on my own, I'll be all set…lol

Becky Ohlsen first visited Stockholm as a toddler, on a trip to meet her maternal grandparents. Later, as a teen, she mastered enough of the language and geography to make an important daily pilgrimage to the local snack kiosk for chocolate. Becky will still go out of her way for a bar of Marabou mjölk choklad (milk chocolate), but several periods of living in Stockholm over the years have expanded her tastes and interests.
These days, she never misses a chance to revisit her favourite paintings at the Modern Art museum, tuck into a bowl of fish stew in the basement of Hötorgshallen food court, stop for a fika (coffee break) in an old-fashioned cafe, play some pinball in an underground billiards hall, or walk along the city's many bridges and canals.
Becky has researched and written about Stockholm for Lonely Planet since 2004; she has written about family travel in Sweden for the Independent, and landscape as a character in Swedish literature for The Bear Deluxe. She also writes about hiking and camping in the Pacific North-west. When she's not travelling for work, Becky rides motorcycles with the Sang-Froid Riding Club in Portland, Oregon.

Q: Windows pipes in binary mode I wrote a program in windows that will play binary audio sent to it over stdin, I called it aplay(like the linux program). I then wrote a seperate program as follows
FILE * f = popen("aplay.exe", "wb");
FILE * song = fopen("C:/Users/Ray/Dropbox/DJ Automica 2/Debug/raymonster 5.wav", "rb");
while(1)
{
    byte buff[4096];
    fread(buff, 4, 1024, song);
    fwrite(buff, 4, 1024, f);
}

For some reason, the pipe doesn't seem to be working in binary mode, because the audio is coming out all messed up. If I change my aplay to open the wave file by itself in text mode it sounds the same as when I do it through the pipe, if I open the wave file in binary mode it plays perfectly. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

A: If you include the header files
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <io.h>

you can switch modes with
_setmode(_fileno(stdin), _O_BINARY);

Cambridge have named a more experienced and marginally heavier crew for the 157th Xchanging Boat Race against Oxford on March 26.
The Light Blues feature three members of the victorious 2010 boat plus Australian former world champion Hardy Cubasch, who raced in 2009 before injury intervened last year.
By comparison, the only returning blue in the Oxford boat is the club president Ben Myers, while the dark blues concede a total of 13 kilograms.
Cambridge have a new coach at the helm in British Olympic gold medallist Steve Trapmore, who replaced Chris Nilsson after last year's victory.
Trapmore stroked the British eight to victory at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and Cambridge president Derek Rasmussen has been impressed with his impact.
'We owe Chris a lot but we are moving on and making the best of it. Steve has been phenomenal. He has been well received,' said Rasmussen, who tasted victory last year alongside George Nash and Geoff Roth.
'I was excited (when I heard Trapmore had been appointed). This is an eights race and to have someone who has stroked an Olympic gold medal winning eight, that is the ultimate.
'That is someone who undoubtedly understands the sport as well as you possibly can. That is a great voice to have.
'The fact he is an Olympic champion means he has so much belief in what he is doing. He know what he wants and there is no doubt in his mind about the right way to do things.
'He has brought the GB system, which is a certain style of training and the kind of work and tests they do. It is a cohesive system. We have all seen our physiology blossom.
'I have learned a lot from him about rowing and about leadership. I think the guys all respect him.
In contrast to Trapmore, Oxford coach Sean Bowden will be looking for a 10th victory at his 17th attempt, four of which came with Cambridge in the 1990s.
Oxford have included 19-year-old Constantine Louloudis, one of the rising stars of British rowing who finished seventh in the recent national trials and has a chance of competing at London 2012.
The dark blue crew will be stroked by 27-year-old Londoner Simon Hislop, who is back to full fitness less than a year after undergoing surgery for testicular cancer.
Alec Dent will also feature in the three seat after recovering from a back injury which forced him to resign the presidency at the start of the year.


Most people just consider dandelion to be a nuisance. But I think they will most likely be more welcome to you by the time you finished reading this article.
Dandelion is officially Taraxacum officinale – the name comes from the French words 'dent de lion,' that mean 'lion's tooth.' This is a reference to the jagged-edged leaves.
From a pharmaceutical point of view, the herb has many qualities: cholagogus, choleretic, alkalizing, laxative, diuretic, venotonic and astringent. The root contains a bitter compound – taraxacina – pectins, and sterols, vitamins B1, C and D, inulin, tannin and reshines.
With a high amount of vegetal fibers, dandelion prevents the unwanted assimilations of glucose and facilitates the elimination of feaces. The contained potassium is responsible for the diuretic action. Dandelion also contains curative substances which are very important for treating metabolism disorders.
The substances contained by dandelion stimulates the stomach's activity as well as the liver's and bile's, causing a high diuresis and helping an organism to eliminate, trough urine, the toxic products of metabolism.
Dandelion can be successfully used in cases of hypoacid gastritis, dyspepsia, biliary dischinesis and for preventing the formation of renal calculi. The diuretic effect also helps eliminate the renal calculi. Trough the diuresis it causes, dandelion eliminates toxins and indirectly helps treat eczema and other skin diseases.
Because of the contained vitamins A and C, dandelion is also known as an anti-oxidant and anti-cancer agent.
Dandelion in your yard is identical to the herb with so many benefits.
• Anemia. Dandelion contains high levels of potassium, is a rich source of iron and vitamins, and, ounce for ounce, contains more carotene than carrots. Herbalists have used dandelion for generations to treat anemia due to deficiencies of folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12.
• Bladder infection and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Unlike many conventional diuretics, which cause a loss of potassium, dandelion leaves are rich in potassium. Using the herb as a diuretic results in a net gain of this vital mineral. Because of its diuretic effect, dandelion helps to relieve fluid retention in premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and counteract urine retention in bladder infections. By increasing potassium levels, dandelion aids in alleviating muscle spasms and nighttime leg cramps.
• Constipation, hemorrhoids, and indigestion. German research has shown that dandelion root is a mild bitter, or appetite stimulant. Bitters of all types activate a reflex that increases the secretion of digestive juices by the lining of the stomach. Dandelion root has a significant cleansing effect on the liver by stimulating the production of bile, which ultimately results in increased transport of a variety of potentially noxious compounds to the stool.
Increasing the release of bile also relieves constipation without causing diarrhea and stops spasms of the bile duct. Dandelion should be avoided, however, if you have gallstones, since increasing the flow of bile could increase pressure against the stones.
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Bulgarian studies of a five-herb combination including dandelion found that more than 95 percent of IBS sufferers were pain-free after fifteen days of treatment. This herbal combination also improved regularity.
• Liver problems and gallstones. The bitter principles in dandelion increase bile production and bile flow in the liver. This makes it useful for people with sluggish liver function due to alcohol abuse or poor diet. It is restorative to the liver and helps reduce the risk of developing gallstones, but you should avoid it if you already have gallstones.
• Osteoporosis. Dandelion is a rich source of boron, which helps to raise estrogen levels in the blood, and in turn helps preserve bone. It is also a rich source of calcium and a fair source of silicon, which some studies suggest helps strengthen bone.
• Weight Loss. European herbalists frequently prescribe dandelion tinctures as a weight-loss aid. Dandelion reduces water weight through its diuretic effect. It may also help the liver regulate blood sugars to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), frequently an immediate cause of binge eating.
Also, the increase in bile flow stimulated by dandelion helps to improve fat metabolism in the body. In one laboratory study, animals that were given daily doses of dandelion extract for a month lost up to 30 percent of their body mass.
• Diruetic and blood purifier. Dandelion leaves are a powerful diuretic. The roots act as a blood purifier that helps both the kidneys and the liver to remove toxins and poisons from the blood. The roots have been used for centuries to treat jaundice.
• Good for bowels, appetite, digestion. Dandelion also acts as a mild laxative and improves appetite and digestion. It is useful for eczema-like skin problems, boils, and abscesses, and is believed to help prevent age spots and breast cancer.
**Cautions** If you are taking diuretic drugs, insulin, or medications that reduce blood-sugar levels, you should use dandelion only under a physician's supervision. People with known allergies to related plants, such as chamomile and yarrow, should use dandelion with caution.
Dandelion also should be avoided during antibiotic treatment, especially treatment with ciprofloxacin (Cipro), ofloxacin (Floxin), lomefloxacin (Maxaquin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and enoxacin (Penetrex), since it may keep concentrations of these antibiotics from peaking in the bloodstream, diminishing their ability to fight infection.
-Boil a quart of water in a pot Reduce the heat.
-Add 2 tbsp. of cleaned and chopped fresh dandelion roots to the water.
-Let the water simmer for thirty minutes, keeping it covered during this time. Then, remove the pot from the heat source.
-Following this, add two tbsp. of freshly picked and chopped dandelion leaves.
-Let the leaves steep into the liquid for twenty minutes. After which, the liquid can be strained.
You will benefit by drinking two cups of the herbal dandelion tea every day.

[ARCHIVED] CFR breaks ground on maintenance garage
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Clarksville leaders broke ground Thursday on a new maintenance garage at Clarksville Fire Rescue's Station 1 to provide a modern facility for upkeep and repair of the agency's complicated equipment.
The new 4,800-square-foot maintenance garage features three climate-controlled bays along with a maintenance pit for inspections and maintenance. The garage will be built on the CFR Headquarters campus at 802 Main St.
"The maintenance division plays a vital role in our readiness and ability to deploy to provide services to our citizens," Fire Chief Freddie Montgomery said. "The division's commitment over the years has not gone unnoticed, and it is an honor to add to provide them a new facility. They will now be better equipped to maintain the millions of dollars of CFR equipment and our rolling fleet so they are ready and dependable."
Previously, the maintenance division operated out of a 2,400-square-foot metal building that was neither climate-controlled nor equipped to handle CFR's current maintenance load.
"The old maintenance building is utterly embarrassing and was in need of a much-needed update long ago," Mayor Joe Pitts said. "This new facility will allow our maintenance division to properly upkeep equipment without having to do so out in the elements. I'm pleased to break ground on this new maintenance garage so that Clarksville Fire Rescue can continue their excellence in serving our community."
The new maintenance garage at Station 1 was designed by Powell Architecture and the general contractor will be B.R. Miller & Company. The cost of the maintenance garage project is budgeted at $1,247,665.
Construction will begin immediately. The target for completion is May 2021.
This rendering from architect Pam Powell shows the planned three-bay CFR maintenance facility at right.

Q: From Access, how do I open a Windows Explorer folder knowing only part of the folder name? My incomplete file path is stored in Me!txtFilePath. It contains a complete path to the folder's location and the first 9 out of ~30 characters of the folder name. Those first 9 characters are guaranteed to be unique. Currently I have a button that executes the code below when clicked:
    Shell "explorer """ & Me!txtFilePath & "", vbNormalFocus

How would I make sure it opens the right folder given that I don't have the last several characters of the folder name? Thanks!
edit: I am trying to open a network folder that I don't have a "drive" for.

A: I'm not sure why exactly this solution is the one that works for me whereas the suggestions did not, but I found the answer. Most of it was solved by the commenters to my original post - thanks to all of you.
Basically, I had to set a string variable equal to the Dir value. Dir only returns the ending portion of the folder name, not the entire path, so when opening the file I needed to combine it with the known beginning of the path name. I also had to use Application.FollowHyperlink instead of Shell. I don't know why and I don't know if there are any drawbacks. Maybe Shell explorer only works for files, not folders.
Private Sub btnJobFile_Click()
    Dim strStartFilePath As String
    Dim strEndFilePath As String

    strStartFilePath = "\\JobFolders" & Me!txtFilePath
    strEndFilePath = Dir(strStartFilePath & Me.JobNum & "*", vbDirectory)

    Application.FollowHyperlink strStartFilePath & strEndFilePath
End Sub

L'església de Vasa és una església que pertany a la parròquia de Vasa, a la diòcesi de Göteborg. Es troba al districte de Lorensberg al municipi de Göteborg.

Creació
Al lloc de l'església hi havia l'antiga granja Götaberg. L'església va ser construïda després que la parròquia de Vasa se separés de la parròquia de Göteborg el 1908. Va ser construït el 1905-1909 amb un estil neoromànic. La inauguració va tenir lloc el 4 d'abril de 1909 pel bisbe Edvard Herman Rodhe.

Edifici
L'església va ser dissenyada per Yngve Rasmussen i va ser el resultat d'un concurs arquitectònic. L'estil neoromànic amb detalls modernistes i romàntics nacionals. L'església consta d'una llarga nau amb dues naus laterals, un absis a l'est i a l'oest i diverses cabines. Al sud, hi ha la gran torre. El material de construcció és un granit de bohus de Lysekil. El sostre exterior té diversos nivells i està cobert amb làmines de coure. L'exterior està ben conservat. La torre té dues campanes, tots dos fabricats el 1907 per la fosa de Johan A. Beckman & Co a Estocolm. Pesen 1857 i 950 kg, respectivament.

Equipament
Gairebé deu anys després de la inauguració, es va crear una pintura al fresc que representa l'Ascensió de Crist, realitzada per Albert Eldh. En relació amb una renovació l'any 1926, Eldh també va pintar la part restant del cor. L'arquitecte Rasmussen va dissenyar la majoria dels mobles, com ara els bancs, la façana dels orgues, el púlpit i la pila baptismal. En una restauració de 1945, es va construir la sagristia i, el 1951, es les parets i els sostres van emblanquinats amb calç en un to clar, que va substituir la façana central del sostre de l'orgue i es va instal·lar un fons positiu. A l'entrada hi ha una decoració de mosaic en quatre parts que representa a Crist, així com un colom sobre un pou, una espasa en flames i un calze. Es va dur a terme el 1957 per Es va dur a terme el 1957 per Erik Gunnar Ström.

Orgue
 L'orgue principal va ser construït el 1909 per Eskil Lundén. Va ser construït el 1943 per Hammarbergs Orgelbyggeri AB, però el 2002 la construcció de l'orgue de Grönlund va ser una renovació, per la qual cosa l'obra es va restaurar en gran part a la condició original d'Eskil Lunden.L'instrument té 59 peces distribuïdes en quatre manuals i pedals.
 L'església també té un orgue de cor de sis parts.

Altre informació
Al parc al costat de l'església de Vasa es pot trobar, entre altres coses, l'estàtua de Vågens de Per Hasselberg.

Concerning the approach which has been adopted with respect to the information regarding the continental shelf, the following is to be noted:The Convention on the Continental Shelf which was adopted in Geneva on 29 April 1958 ("the 1958 Geneva Convention") defines the term "continental shelf" as: (a) the seabed and subsoil of the submarine areas adjacent to the coast but outside the area of the territorial sea, to a depth of 200 metres or, beyond that limit, to where the depth of the superjacent waters admits of the exploitation of the natural resources of the said areas; and (b) the seabed and subsoil of similar submarine areas adjacent to the coasts of islands. Under the provisions of article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 ("the 1982 Convention"), the continental shelf extends up to the outer edge of the continental margin, or up to 200 nautical miles where the outer edge does not extend up to 200 nautical miles, or up tothe line of delimitation.The table reflects the fact that, under international law, the rights of a coastal State over the shelf do not depend on occupation, effective or notional, or on any express proclamation. However, in a number of cases, discrepancies seem to exist between the limits as reflected in the national legislation, originally based on the 1958 Geneva Convention, and the entitlements of States Parties under the 1982 Convention. That Convention, pursuant to its article 311, paragraph 1,prevails, as between States Parties, over the 1958 Geneva Convention. As it appears, certain States that became States Parties to the 1982 Convention have not yet completed the process of harmonization of their national legislation with its provisions. However, the entitlement of coastal States to their respective continental shelves up to the…
