Harper Slade, is named in honor of our CEO's paternal grandmother, Lenora Harper Robinson and maternal grandmother, Ernestine Johnson Slade who were both trailblazing women in their communities, in their workplaces and in their homes. Both of these stalwart mavericks were VERY much about the business of being black and assured their children, our CEO's parents, were similarly focused. The lens through which our CEO views racial equity is very much derived from the legacy of her grandmothers and her parents.

The Azienda Agricola Fratelli Lippolis produces vegetables using techniques inspired by Mollison's permaculture,Fukuoka's natural agrculture, synergistic agriculture and biodynamic agriculture, on a portion of the property of nearly 2 hectares.
Using these techniques we forecast the chemical-physical-structural re-equilibration of all the property: on the areas of the property previously used for crops, we have planned the plantation of about 8000 plants of fruit trees, leguminous trees and various kind of shrubs.
Our fruit and our vegetables are organically grown and handcrafted, using lots of patience and lots of love!
The agricultural techniques offered by the aforementioned methodologies tend to develop an agricultural self-sufficient micro-ecosystem, with low water requirements, that has been already used successfully from the Tropics to the Arctic.
In opposition to the so-called traditional agriculture, this kind of agriculture can be compared to the development of an intensive forestry-agricultural ecosystem, it does not use heavy machinery and/or chemical fertilizers.
Furthermore, the productive mix of fruit trees and soil beneficial trees ensures a process of re-equilibration and continuous enrichment of the soil which enables an improvement of the quality and the quantity of the harvest in time (instead of a progressive impoverishment, typical of traditional agriculture), beside the possibility of producing a high variety of vegetables and fruit thanks to the extremely high biodiversity planned within the system.

According to a recent series of tests done by Microsoft, Internet Explorer 8 is the fastest browser available today. Of course, it doesn't take a lot of searching to find similar studies claiming that Google Chrome or Firefox or Safari or Opera or WebKit is the fastest browser available today. So what do I think about all of these "fastest browser" tests? Which do I think is the most valid? Well, in the immortal words of Bill Murray in Meatballs, "It just doesn't matter!"
According to a recent series of tests done by Microsoft, Internet Explorer 8 is the fastest browser available today. Of course, it doesn't take a lot of searching to find similar studies claiming that Google Chrome or Firefox or Safari or Opera or WebKit is the fastest browser available today.
So what do I think about all of these "fastest browser" tests? Which do I think is the most valid? Well, in the immortal words of Bill Murray in Meatballs, "It just doesn't matter!"
That's right. When it comes to the modern Web and modern Web browsers, the last thing that most people should care about when choosing a browser is its speed.
Sure, browser performance used to matter. When I did browser comparisons in the 1990s, I did more than my fair share of performance tests.
But when I did those tests I used a stopwatch and saw differences in performance that sometimes reached minutes!
In these modern series of Web browser speed tests, the differences in performance are often measured in milliseconds. That literally means that if you blink you'll miss the difference in speed between one browser and the next.
Face it, right now all browsers are more than fast enough. And if you're running into slow performance on the Web, you should probably check about 100 other things (ISP performance, site problems, etc.) before you start wondering about browser speed.
So why is every single browser maker spending so much time and resources trying to gain the mantle of fastest Web browser? I think it's because performance is the only non-objective criteria that they can hang their hat on.
Most people choose a browser because they like how it works, they like the feature set or the UI or the extensibility or that they are just comfortable with it. But while it's hard to tell a developer to make a browser that people will like, it's much easier to tell them to come up with some way that they can say that their browser is faster than the competition.
But right now this is all a waste of time and resources. We would all be much better off if browser makers were spending these resources on important tasks like making browsers more secure.
But right now we are just measuring the differences between browsers that are fast and others that are also fast. And it just doesn't matter.


VBlank Entertainment headed over to the official Playstation Blog to announce that not only will Retro City Rampage DX be coming to the PS Vita, but it will be on the system next week. Retro City Rampage originally launched on the PS Vita a few years back and achieved massive success on the system, both through sales and the PS Plus promotion that occurred a few months after its release.

The developers called it "a top-to-bottom remastering of just about everything."
Retro City Rampage DX will launch on November 11th with a measly price of $9.99, or $7.99 for PS Plus members. The game is definitely worth the small price for some huge improvements.

Finchcloud - Warrior - TreeClan
Finchcloud - Warrior - TreeClan Oct 26, 2017 21:34:33 GMT -5
Post by Taxx on Oct 26, 2017 21:34:33 GMT -5
Name: Finchpaw
Age: 12 moons
Gender: Tom
Clan: TreeClan
Rank: Apprentice
Description: Finchpaw, in size and pelt, is really not much different from his Clanmates. He's a large cat, heavy with muscle and sturdy of frame. He may not be able to match a smaller, leaner cat in speed and agility, but strength, he's got in spades.
His fur is a mix of ruddy copper and red-brown, striped with white down the length of his body. It's long and thick, with little tufts that sprout from the tips of his ears, and he's proud of it, taking pains to keep it neat.
Expressive amber eyes gaze out at the world with great intensity, missing little, and evidencing none of the mischievous personality that lurks beneath. He has a rather heavy step, considering his weight, but there's a grace to his movements, a proud set to his shoulders, and the confidence and strength of youth in his bearing.
Description Summary: Large ginger tom with amber eyes
Personality: Finchpaw has matured in the moons since his apprentice ceremony. Where he was once a loud and boisterous cat, he's calmed, finally understanding that simply throwing himself headfirst into situations often does more harm than good. He can still easily be led astray, jump to false conclusions, and act without first learning everything he can, but he has become better about simply hurling himself to blind action.
What hasn't changed is his preference for being the center of attention, and he's quite likely to do or say things meant to hook in his denmates and give him their full attention- true statements or not, though he'd never spread cruel rumors or hint at disloyalty. A cat betraying their Clanmates is nothing to joke about.
Finchpaw cares enormously for his family- father, mother, brother. He'll do anything for them and lives for their approval, even now. Any threat to them, or even an insult from the mouth of a cat from another Clan, is one of the times he will act without considering his own well-being, or the wisdom of his actions, and it may get him in trouble.
Loyalty is second nature to him. He'd never do anything to betray TreeClan, or his kin, and he will harshly judge any cat who does.
And then, underneath all of that, is a bit of a dreamer. Finchpaw has been witness to the love his mother and father have for each other since his birth, and he hopes one day to find a she-cat he cares for that much. He can sometimes be found sitting motionless, simply observing the world around him- mesmerized by the rays from the sun dappling the forest floor, the dew of early morning caught on a spider's web, the tender look of love on a queen's face as she watches her kits play. The things some may take for granted, or overlook, are often the things that Finchpaw can spend hours watching.
History: Finchpaw and Thornpaw are the result of a love worthy of stories- according to Finchpaw. Silentsong and Zephyrfang were loving and attentive parents to the young kits they had, and Finchpaw felt that with every word of praise or look of pride- to the point of going out of his way to do things that would gain him the praise. He never questioned Silentsong's inability to talk; he treasured her actions just as much: her warm gaze, a lick upon his cheek, the purr that lulled him to sleep each night.
His apprenticeship was a hard adjustment, though he had been looking forward to it right up until sunset, when it sank in that he would no longer spend nights with his mother in the nursery. He took it in stride as much as possible, taking up his training with good grace- and unable to help boasting quite a bit that his mentor was the Clan deputy.
The following moons were full of learning- battle strategies and hunting, and the less stellar aspects of cleaning dens and looking after the elders of the Clan. And more than a few misadventures that he might have instigated.
The recent fire he heard about on LightningClan territory is a horror he hopes he'll never have to experience. He's currently doing all he can to help his Clan recover and prepare for the hard moons of leafbare that loom ahead.

Saudi Arabia Looks to African Allies of Eritrea During Gulf Crises
FILE - The official spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of Defense, General Ahmed Hassan al-Assiri, speaks during a news conference in Riyadh, March 26, 2015.
Iran Calls for Better Relations with Rival Saudi Arabia
Allure of Aid Explains Sudan's Shift Toward Saudis
Witnesses Discount Iran's Claims of Saudi Airstrike on Embassy in Yemen
Saudi Arabia appears intent on reaching across the Red Sea to build alliances in the Horn of Africa, where piracy, drug and weapons smuggling, and terrorism threaten commerce in the world's busiest shipping lanes.
This was evident during the Saudis' intervention in Yemen. Over the past year, they built a coalition of African partners to help dislodge Houthi rebels who were in control of most of the country, including the capital, Sana'a.
Eritrea played a key role, although it was not technically part of the Saudis' 12-nation coalition. Eritrea allowed the United Arab Emirates to use an airbase and logistics hub in the port town of Assab. The two countries also shared intelligence.
"Peace and stability in the Horn of Africa is very important for us," Brigadier General Ahmed al-Assiri, a military adviser for the Saudi minister of defense, told VOA in a recent interview. "This is why we coordinate with Eritrea, with Djibouti, with Ethiopia, with Somalia, with the legitimate governments of Yemen and Sudan, to make sure that this area is controlled and secured to avoid ... trans-border crimes."
Countering Iran
Analysts say the Saudis' interest in the Horn of Africa is an extension of their intense competition with Iran for influence in the Middle East.
FILE - A Shiite Houthi rebel holds his weapon as he attends a rally to protest Saudi-led airstrikes, in Sanaa, Yemen, Aug. 24, 2015.
Phillip Smyth, a research associate at the University of Maryland and an adjunct fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, says the Saudi diplomatic surge in Africa is specifically aimed at countering Iranian influence.
"The Saudis are now aggressively reaching out to any state [in the Horn of Africa and beyond] that may have actually had any contact with the Iranians or have dealt with the Iranians," Smyth said, "in order to bring them under their wing and demonstrate that [Saudi Arabia] can actually function as a regional hegemon [significant regional power]."
Smyth noted the Saudi outreach includes Sudan, a historical ally of Iran, which recently received approximately $5 billion in military aid from Saudi Arabia and was part of the Saudi coalition in Yemen.
The Saudi arms deal with Sudan really is an accomplishment, Smyth said, "in terms of countering [Iranian influence] in the African Horn region."
There also are reports that Saudi Arabia has promised $50 million to Somalia if Somalia severs diplomatic ties with Iran.
Same side as U.S.
Observers find these new alignments interesting because, from a broader perspective, they put countries like Eritrea and Sudan on the same side as the United States, which supports both the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen and the coalition against Islamic State (IS). These may be some of the few things Eritrea, Sudan and the U.S. agree on in terms of international policy.
FILE - A Shiite fighter known as a Houthi stands guard in front of buildings destroyed by a Saudi-led airstrike in Sana'a, Sept. 5, 2015.
In fighting IS, "the main jihadist enemy," Ambassador Herman Cohen, a former assistant secretary of state for African affairs, says the United States is "relying ... on Arab nations, especially the Sunni Arab nations led by Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan."
"And here we have Eritrea aligning itself with the same coalition," Cohen told VOA. "So, therefore, the United States and Eritrea are on the same side."
Cohen, who has long advocated improved U.S.-Eritrean relations, believes Asmara and Washington can develop closer ties if current trends continue.
"Eritrea and the United States should be working together and not be angry at each other and not having normal relations," he said. "It doesn't make sense for either side."
In an interview on Eritrean national television in January, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki seemed to hint at a willingness for increased regional engagement.
"Without taking limit, scope and size into consideration, collaboration of the regional countries is key," he said, referring to Eritrea's involvement in the Yemen coalition. "We can say that the announcement of this Saudi-led anti-terrorism effort is a small part of a bigger plan."
Inside Eritrea's Bisha mines - France 24
It isn't always easy to do business in Eritrea but the Bisha mines, a joint Eritrean-Canadian operation, are an exception. They are also a bright spot for Eritrea's economy and have contributed more than 800 million dollars to the state's coffers.
The mines, a five-hour drive from the capital Asmara towards the Sudanese border, are Eritrea's first mines in full production and the authorities hope they can boost the economy in a country where people earn an average of just three US dollars a day.
Jointly owned by the Eritrean state and Canadian company Nevsun, the mines first produced gold and are now yielding copper and zinc. There are hopes there could be more minerals to extract in the region.
Senior planning engineer Abdoulkarim Sidibe, from Mali, is among the foreign workers employed on the site.
But to work in Eritrea you have to accept certain conditions.
"The main objective of the state is to train Eritrean workers so after some time they'll replace the expatriates," he says. "If I want to extend my contract I need to train Eritreans."
Eritrea says it hopes to have four mines in operation by 2018 as it seeks to exploit the country's rich mineral deposits.

Asylum seekers' children in real danger in Tel Aviv unlicensed day cares, study finds
Dery: If court won't allow deportation of asylum seekers, Israel will build second detention center
An Eritrean woman living in Eilat has been arrested on suspicion of personally performing a circumcision on her four-year-old son.
The boy's nursery school teacher called police and welfare authorities after examining the boy when she saw him limp, and saw that he suffered an injury to his penis. He was taken to hospital, released later the same day and placed in foster care, in addition to his siblings.
Police then went to arrest the boy's mother, who has said that what she did is an acceptable tradition in Eritrea.
The woman's public defender, Nimrod Aviram, said that no translator accompanied the police and consequently, a confrontation ensued in the confusion when they arrived because she was afraid the officers would seize her children.
As a result the woman is now being held on three counts, suspicion of causing serious bodily harm, assaulting a police office and interfering with an arrest. A court ordered her held in custody through Monday, and oמ Monday the court extended her arrest until Wednesday.
A judge rejected a police request to arrest her partner on suspicion of child abuse on grounds that another child in the home had marks on his chin and another a bite mark which the mother allegedly admitted to causing.
Aviram said he hoped the woman would not be indicted. "It sounds shocking to perform a circumcision without anaesthesia but if you think about how if he were a helpless baby it's okay, acceptable, we never thought about how, you do a brit, nobody would challenge that although it is clear that this baby couldn't give his consent and if he could be asked he wouldn't give his consent."
Leonardo Cohen, a lecturer in Ethiopian studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, told Haaretz that the woman's defense had a factual basis, because in Ethiopia and Eritrea some circumcise boys as babies but others perform the ritual at a later age.

A. whereas the EU has been supporting Eritrea since its independence from Ethiopia in 1993; whereas the initial promise of democracy and the rule of law following the country's independence has been inhibited by the Government of Eritrea on the pretext of national defence and national service; whereas presidential elections planned for 1997 never took place, and whereas the constitution ratified in the same year has never been implemented; whereas the regional elections of 2009 have yet to be held; whereas even before the National Assembly was disbanded in 2002, laws were passed by government decree;
B. whereas Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia in 1993 created expectations within the international community and among the people of Eritrea that this would help the latter to build a country that respects human rights and is free of repression; whereas this has not happened, but instead there has been even greater repression and even more violations of human rights;
C. whereas the report by the UN Special Rapporteur noted that Eritrea has one of the worst human rights records in the world, with routine human rights violations taking place every day and no improvement recorded in recent years; whereas many young people have fled the country to escape the repressive government and mandatory military conscription, which often starts at a very young age, whereas the statute of an 18-month period of service is often flouted, with most Eritreans serving indefinitely, and whereas such an extended mandatory military conscription inhibits the country's potential economic growth; whereas any increase in the national service salary is meaningless as the recent devaluation of the nakfa and bank restrictions have led to a current deficiency in the country; whereas many conscripts are used as forced labour and given civilian duties; whereas the majority of those in national service remain in a situation of slavery, in which any work, job applications and the possibility of having a family life are controlled; whereas freedom of worship and conscience, freedom of the media and freedom of expression are not guaranteed;
D. whereas the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea has found that the violations in the areas of extrajudicial executions, torture (including sexual torture and sexual slavery), national service as a form of slavery, forced labour and the shoot-to-kill policy at the border may constitute crimes against humanity;
E. whereas Human Rights Watch stresses that there is no freedom of religion in Eritrea; whereas the government severely harasses citizens who practise religions other than the four it recognises; whereas even in the case of recognised religions the government interferes with people's religious practice;

No change in Ethiopia's policy towards Eritrea: Desalegn - Sudan Tribune: Plural news and views on Sudan
By Tesfa-Alem Tekle
March 10, 2016 (ADDIS ABABA) – Ethiopian Prime Minister on Thursday said his country hasn't made any change of policy towards its long-time rival Eritrea.

Hailemariam Desalegn made the remarks today at a parliamentary session while presenting a semi-annual report to Ethiopian MPs'.
The premier told the lawmakers that Ethiopia will remain firm and won't drop the "Five Point Peace Plan" position it issued in November 2004 as a way forward to resolve the deadlock.
Ethiopia's long-standing policy calls on arch-rival Eritrea to engage in dialogue without conditions although it occasionally loosens that position.
However, Eritrea insists Ethiopia must accept in principle the international border commission's ruling which favoured Eritrea's position.
The Ethiopia-Eritrea border commission ruling then awarded the flash point, Badme town to the Red Sea nation. But Ethiopia refused to withdraw its forces from the town demanding for more bilateral dialogue to resolve the standoff.
Hailemariam said Ethiopia will continue to work on normalising relations with Eritrea.
He however accused the regime in Asmara of hijacking the efforts of normalizing ties between the peoples of the two countries.
The Ethiopian premier on Thursday once again threatened that his country would continue to take "proportionate" military actions against Eritrea if Asmara continuous the acts of provocation and destabilization of Ethiopia.
But, he reaffirmed that any retaliatory action will be in accordance with international rules and laws.
The Premier has also responded to query from an MP with regard to the recent cross border mass kidnappings carried out by Eritrean soldiers against dozens of Ethiopian miners near the shared border.
With that regard, Hailemariam hinted Ethiopia was considering retaliatory action to rescue the captives had Eritrea failed to free them.
"They [Eritrean authorities] have immediately freed the captives. Should they fail to do so they well know what consequences would have followed" Hailemariam told the parliament.
"Our policy is crystal clear and we will firmly continue it" He added.
The Ethiopian Prime Minister has also responded to a number of questions raised by MPs.
Questions covered a range of areas including the recent unrest in parts of the country, transport problems, good governance, on mega projects under construction such as hydro power, sugar, and railway.
Nevsun Canada - A Tale of Corporate Greed and Duplicity in Eritrea
March 1, 2016 | Sallina Official Site
This is a story about a Canadian mining company that chose to do business with Eritrea. It is a story about corporate greed hiding behind grandiose statements of upholding "liberal democratic values" and being "a source of good for Eritrea." It is a story about three Eritreans—Gize Yebeyo Araya, Kesete Tekle Fhazion and Mihretab Yemane Tekle—who took on the multinational corporation on behalf of "all conscripts in the National Service Program who worked in the Bisha Mine from 2008 to the present." [1] It is a story about a corporation that is on the wrong side of history. Here is Part 1.
Part 1: The Two Faces of Nevsun Resources
Nevsun Resources, Ltd. is a Canadian mining company based in Vancouver. According to its website, "Nevsun's vision is to maximize long term community benefits and shareholder value in the sustainable development of mineral resources – wherever it operates." Nevsun's website promotes a company seeped in the values of high safety standards for its workers, human rights, integrity, accountability, and community empowerment. [2]
Cliff T. Davis is the CEO of Nevsun Resources. His bio indicates that he was appointed CEO of the company after having served as Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer since 2002 and CFO from 1994 to 2000. His tenure at Nevsun was interrupted for two years beginning in 2000 to serve as Chairman and CEO of Napier Environmental Technologies, a public chemical manufacturing company. His total compensation as CEO for Nevsun is over six million dollars.
Nevsun's website differs from many other multinational corporate websites, in that there is a great deal of content dedicated to extolling its "corporate social responsibility." Why?
Nevsun Mining has been accused by former Eritrean mineworkers of using forced labor from Eritrea's National Service Program (NSP).
Gize Yebeyo Araya, Kesete Tekle Fshazion and Mihretab Yemane Tekle, have filed a claim against Nevsun Resources, stating that they worked at the mine against their will and were subject to "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment". The three plaintiffs say that they were forced to work long hours a lived in constant fear of threats of torture and intimidation.
Nevsun has rejected the allegations as "unfounded." According to CEO Cliff T. Davis, "the Bisha Mine has adhered at all times to international standards of governance, workplace conditions, and health and safety".
On the side of the three plaintiffs, however, is the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The Commission cited Nevsun's mine, Bisha Mine, in its 2015 report on human rights absuses in Eritrea. According to the report, Nevsun, in violation of international law, "the Human Rights Commission collected evidence that forced labour occurred in the context of the development and exploitation of the Bisha mine, 150 km west of Asmara, which to date is the only mine in operation in Eritrea."
The lawsuit filed by the three Eritrean plaintiffs alleges that by entering a commercial relationship with the Eritrean government, Nevsun "aided, abetted, contributed to and became an accomplice to the use of forced labor, crimes against humanity and other human rights abuses at the Bisha mine."
What is the nature of Nevsun Resources' relationship with the Government of Eritrea? Is Nevsun's partnership with the Eritrean Government promoting what CEO Clive T. Davis calls "liberal democratic values," or aiding, abetting and contributing to human rights abuses against the Eritrean people and crimes against humanity? Is Nevsun Resources accountable for the actions of Segen Construction, the company owned by Eritrea's ruling party that provides labor for the mine? What is the role of the Canadian Government in enforcing international legal standards of human rights of companies registered in Canada? Is Nevsun Resources undermining Canada's global reputation as a defender of international human rights? Is Nevsun's self-promotion of its identity as a socially responsible corporation authentic or a façade to hide behind in the interest of profit?
Djibouti says talks with Eritrea to depend on release of prisoners
DJIBOUTI (Xinhua) -- Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh has said that the release of Djiboutians held in Eritrea remain the first precondition for the restart of talks to resolve a territorial dispute between his country and Eritrea, an official source said."The resolution of the dispute between Eritrea and my country will depend on the release of Djiboutian soldiers," Guelleh said on Monday in Doha during his three-day visit to Qatar, the mediator in the dispute between Eritrea and Djibouti.
The president made the remarks during his meeting with Qatar Emir Tamin Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha.
He reminded the Emir that the refusal by Eritrea to give information on the state of the imprisoned Djiboutian soldiers was a source of "unbearable pain for their families."
The two men agreed on the "need to end the prevailing situation of no war and no peace between Djibouti and Eritrea."
Guelleh used the opportunity to thank the Emir of Qatar for his tireless efforts in the mediation of the dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea.In 2008, a territorial dispute caused a three-day armed conflict between Djibouti and Eritrea.

Eritrean Handicaps exiled in Ethiopia exposes their ordeal under the regime Dictator Issias Afwerki
Eritrean diplomats are aiding people smugglers - WALB.com, South Georgia News, Weather, Sports
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - A new report by a regional bloc says human smugglers are increasingly using Eritrean diplomats to traffic people to Europe.
The report by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in East Africa includes the names and photos of alleged smuggling kingpins who dominate the illicit trade that has led to the flow of nearly 39,000 Eritreans to Europe.
The report, which was co-authored by the group SAHAN Foundation, said that smugglers inside Eritrea rely on the services of Eritrean diplomats in Sudan and Libya, two of the countries through which Eritreans are trafficked on their way to Europe. The diplomats were not identified.
Biniam Berhe, a political officer at Eritrea's African Union mission here, said the report is "utterly false, preposterous and irresponsible."
Ethiopia warns Eritrea over fresh aggression
"Ethiopia on Thursday threatened to take actions against neighbouring Eritrea over what Addis Ababa said was in response to latest aggression by president Issayas Afeworki-led regime in Asmara.
Eritrea, which borders Sudan and Ethiopia, has been dubbed the North Korea of Africa (HRW)
At a press conference held in the capital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's communication minister, Getachew Reda, said Eritrea has continued to deploy armed groups and bandits as part of its long standing position to destabilise his country.
The minister was refereeing to the latest cross-border mass kidnappings carried out by armed Eritrean men in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region bordering Eritrea.
Recently, a group of armed men dressed in the Eritrean army uniforms crossed borders to Ethiopia and forcibly kidnapped over 80 young Ethiopian miners who were mining gold in Tigray regional state at Kafta-Humera district in Tsirga Girmai locality.
The abducted were among some 400 traditional gold miners who had long been engaged in traditional gold mining activities near the Ethiopia - Eritrea shared border.
While confirming the incident Getachew however downplayed it saying "it wasn't a big surprise" coming from a sworn enemy.
"I wouldn't be surprised if a same thing happened because it happens once in a while and because the borders are very porous and it is not like you can guard every inch of the border every minute of the day" he said.
He added all bandits and armed groups are being deployed to Ethiopia by Eritrea using some Ethiopian rebels or other armed groups the Red Sea nation harbors.
With regard to the latest cross-border attacks and mass kidnappings the senior government official said the Ethiopian government is following the incident closely and will take retaliatory actions.
Considering the level of the aggression "We have been taking proportionate measures in the past and we will take proportionate measures" this time Getachew told reporters.
The minister however refrained to reveal the type and level of those proportionate actions he said will be taken in response.
Ethiopia has routinely accused arch-rival Eritrea of orchestrating a number of cross-border attacks carried out in its soil, an accusation Asmara denies.
The Horn of African nation had previously carried out attacks on targets inside Eritrea to what Addis Ababa says is a proportional measures to Eritrea's continued aggression including to cross-border kidnappings targeting foreign tourists.
In 1998, the two neighbors fought a two-year long war over their disputed border which has claimed the lives of at least 70,000. The row over their border remains unresolved and forces of both sides regularly engage in lower-scale skirmishes."
'via Blog this'
Ethiopia – Eritrea war rumors of war Ethiopia and Eritrea
. By Martin Plaut. I was sceptical when I first saw a blog by Russom Mesfun [below] but I have since seen a press release from the Eritrean government, issued today, which appears to underline his concerns.
Tension increased following Ethiopian accusations, on Thursday, that Eritrea was stoking Oromo protests over plans to expand Addis Ababa [below]
"WE HAVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE… INVOLVED AND INSTIGATING VIOLENCE IN THESE PARTICULAR LOCALITIES… HAVE THEIR ORIGINS FROM ASMARA," THE CAPITAL OF ERITREA, SAID GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN GETACHEW REDA.
One can only hope that sense prevails and that another disastrous conflict is avoided.
Rumors of War: Ethiopia v. Eritrea
Could it be that the Horn of Africa is about to be aflame again? Recent developments in the Ethio-Eritrean no war-no peace stalemate have certainly escalated into a potential confrontation, with Ethiopia accusing its northern neighbor of kidnapping at least 80 of its citizens who were engaged in gold mining in the Tigray region.
The PFDJ has neither officially acknowledged the accusations nor reacted to statements from Ethiopia that it plans to retaliate.
Subsequent to the border and Badme dispute in 1998, the Eritrean regime claims to have been in a state of heightened alert for fear that Ethiopia might attack at anytime.
Only these days, Eritrea might have gained a welcome breather due to the recent Oromo uprisings, which Ethiopia claims has PFDJ hands.
Suspecting a possible crack in Addis Ababa's edifice, Asmara might be attempting to take advantage of an opportunity to cause mischief, complementing Oromo efforts and thus helping destabilize its arch enemy while the iron is still hot.
Although the Ethiopians are not bound to take the bait and engage in a major escalation over incidents that they have downplayed as typical of Eritrea's bad behavior, it does not necessarily follow that they will not retaliate in kind.
By minimizing the conflict, the Ethiopian leadership perhaps aims to manage public opinion and, in effect, lessen, if not totally avoid, persistent calls for a decisive action against Eritrea. Conversely, the measured reactions might have also been intended to buy more time to allow a meaningful military response.
Meanwhile, crippled by UN sanctions and internationally isolated — and with an army ravaged by defections and endless National Service — Eritrea would be at a serious disadvantage to counter an all-out Ethiopian assault.
Fiercely nationalist and once one of the mightiest and most effective fighting machines in the continent, the Eritrean army has long since lost its aura of invincibility, nowadays subsisting on fomenting border skirmishes and sponsoring opposition groups to fight wars by proxy.
Pay or no pay, the failure of the regime to shorten or cancel altogether the much dreaded national service will only weaken an army whose numbers have been drastically shrinking, its rank and file fleeing to the borders in the tens of thousands.
That being said, the no war-no peace state of affairs will remain intact, as both nations fully grasp the military and political realities on the ground. Too focused on dealing with current domestic crisis and reluctant to trip on Eritrea's provocations, it's highly unlikely that Ethiopia will go nuclear at this time, perhaps opting instead a proportionate yet significant surgical attack of PFDJ assets.
Ethiopia accuses Eritrea
Addis Ababa (AFP) – Ethiopia accused arch-rival Eritrea on Thursday of being behind anti-government protests in the Oromia region last year which led to a violent clampdown by the government in Addis Ababa.
The two countries fought a bloody conflict from 1998-2000, but tensions are never far from the surface and were fuelled by protests which erupted last November.
Home to some 27 million people, Oromia encircles Addis Ababa and stretches over large parts of the rest of the country. It has its own language, Oromo, distinct from Amharic, the language of Ethiopia's government.
Demonstrations erupted last November in Oromia to protest against a government plan to expand the Ethiopian capital.
The so-called Master Plan, which was eventually abandoned in January, fuelled land-grab fears among Oromo farmers, from the country's biggest ethnic group.
Reda accused Eritrea of working in concert with two Ethiopian movements, the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) rebel group and the Ginbot 7 opposition group exiled in the United States and categorised as terrorists by Addis Ababa.
"The Eritrean government is not only working with OLF's leftovers in Asmara but also with Ginbot 7, and they want to infiltrate all troublemakers into Ethiopia," Reda said.
He added: "The protests that were being expressed by the people were based on legitimate concerns. But at a certain point, there were political elements involved in hijacking the process.
"What transpired… is an absolutely despicable case of criminal gangs roaming village after village and causing innumerable loss in lives."
There was a brutal crackdown on the protests, which left over 140 people dead and thousands arrested, according to figures released in January by Human Rights Watch (HRW).
In a report published Monday, HRW said the crackdown is still ongoing, asserting that killings and arbitrary arrests were still being reported almost daily.
Eritrea separated from Ethiopia in 1991 after a 20-year independence war. The two countries have remained on a war footing since the open conflict around the turn of the Millennium, notably over their 1,000 km-long (620- mile) common border.

We had a dog on our mission station. It was a big short haired Chinese mongrel dog. We just called him Whoodza (which means "dog" in Chinese). He was a watch dog, and was very ferocious with most people, especially the Chinese. He would nip at their heels, as he was trained to watch out for robbers and intruders. However, he adopted me as his favorite little person, and became my protector. I could do anything with him. I used to hold up his back legs and walk him around on his front legs like a wheelbarrow. I played with him and I loved him a lot.
One day, Whoodza saw me walking with interest towards a big banana leaf that was quivering on the ground. He pushed ahead of me, ran to the leaf, whipped out a snake from under it and threw it against the compound wall, breaking it's back. It was a poisonous snake and would surely have bitten me.
I thank the Lord for His protection of me that day.
As you pray for your missionaries, remember to pray for God's protection for the children and the dangers that they face in foreign countries.
What an amazing story of God's protection! What an amazing dog!
Ruthie, you are one of the first blogs I rush over to read. Your stories of inspiration and truth are such a blessing.
Wow! What an incredible story! It just shows us how much God loves the little children :) Great dog too!
What a sweet dog! That is an amazing story. He must be a good judge of character if he picked you for a friend!!! It's neat how God can use animals to protect us!
Ruthie, Dogs are so smart! You were lucky to have such a faithful friend. Dogs do have a sense about them. And they are very good about protecting the ones they love. Have a beautiful day!
God can protect us in unusual ways can't he!!!
I'm still here, just off line a few days. Thanks for the continuing stories/memories from your childhood. God was looking after you and your family, wasn't He?.
Wow! Praise God for his protection! I loved the picture in my head of you walking the dog around on his front legs! I've told you before I think, but I enjoy your stories from China so much!
I love your posts about your adventures in China. Seems like each one is better than the last. This is incredible.

VATICAN SECRETS
NBC's Ann Thompson, aired on February 25, 2013, reports "Scandals are still on the minds of Catholics as Benedict's time as pope grows short."
Italian newspapers are reporting rumors of blackmail and conspiracy. "A potentially explosive report into embarrassing leaks from the Vatican will be seen by only two people — Pope Benedict XVI and the man who succeeds him."
Statement on the Cardinal's Commission of Inquiry report.
On May 26, 2012 Unmasker4Maine posted on leaked Vatican documents detailing power struggles, political intrigue and corruption in the highest levels of Catholic Church governance which peaked with the ouster of the president of the Vatican bank. "THE POPE'S BUTLER ARRESTED FOR LEAKS". Read more.
On December 20, 2010 Unmasker4 maine posted on "the seizure of euro23 million ($30.2 million) in Vatican assets in a money-laundering probe involving the Holy See's bank.

As the plot thickens, connect the dots.
When we think of events that have transpired in history over the last one hundred to two hundred years, there are certain events that stand out as ones of great horror, great surprise and great sadness. Of the many that come to mind the most devastating have been the destruction of the the World Trade Center in New York City and the sinking of the Titanic. Today we have the Vatican public scandal.
Corruption is world wide and the corruption in the United States is rampant. The official corruption in our country is being exposed and it's only a matter of time when our officials will walk in the Pope's shoes. The American public has awakened.
If our " elected representatives" would have upheld the Rule of Law, upheld their oaths of office, performed their duties as they were paid to do, we the people would not have been forced to obtain a free education. Although it has been time-consuming, we have obtained more education than would have by attending law school and receiving a college degree. We would not have discovered America's secrets. It is a blessing in disguise that our "representatives" and "employees" (federal, state, county, local) have failed in their duties and forced the people to research and investigate the corrupt agenda of our so-called "representatives" and their "employee gate-keepers." Gate-keeper: one who answers the telephone (secretary, aide) and denies us access to our "representatives." The people have been taken for a ride way too long…on our dime. Our elected officials will not make change, we the people will make change.

Compliments to Jeanette Audrey; [Triplett] for her diligent research on the following.
Social Security Administration and how the Queen of England owns Social Security and the Vatican believes they rule the world using us as slaves.
This article and the following important document needs to be reviewed with The International Organizations Immunity Act December 9, 1945, CRIS.pdf, Corporation Trust Company Articles of Incorporation 1907 (not included yet but available as a pdf.), and The World Court Case.pdf file.
Every Corporation in the world runs through the Corporation Trust Company, this is explained in the below article, though the untrained eye may miss it.
The Corporation Trust Company (CTC) is a Delaware Corporation, established in 1907 as The Corporation Trust Company of America.
The CTC Articles of Incorporation were amended in 1933 to The Corporation Trust Company. 1933, the same year the IRS began.
Every court matter, as explained below, is reported through the (C.R.I.S.) COURT REGISTRY INVESTMENT SYSTEM, through The Department of Public Debt, The Department of Treasury,Through the IRS, then through the Federal Reserve, which the World Court Case file shows (partial list following);

Introduction Book One Book Two Book Three Book Four
The best way to describe how to follow this convoluted diabolical deception is this;
Every Secretary of State delivers all Corporation data to The Delaware Corporations Division. That Data then goes directly to The Corporation Trust Company, whose registered agent is now The Corporation Trust Company (CTC), formerly the Willmington Trust Company, until things started heating up for them about three years ago.
Imagine that Delaware is a large vacuum cleaner, sucking all Corporate data into itself. Then, Delaware, having a hidden secret trap door underneath its' Corporation Division, with a tunnel that runs under the Atlantic Ocean to the Queen [King] of England, is now awaiting anticipated delivery, now opens the palace trap door, accepts all Delaware's Corporate data which is every Corporation, lock box, mortgage, contract, deed, etc. in the world, then the Queen, now "Holding the Bag" so to speak, runs out to the awaiting private jet on The Royal Air Strip, engines running, with the Pope now departing to the Vatican with this Nations wealth, after the Federal Reserve makes 28.25% off every securities investment first, starting the recycling laundering operation all over again.
Let the reader now ask the question; 'Who really foreclosed on all the homes across this country?"
Know that there is no statute of limitations on fraud.
Previously sent and still available to the reader is "The Secret Terrorists, Chapter Five "The Sinking of The Titanic" showing that the Titanic was built in 1912 specifically as a "tomb" for the world's wealthiest individuals in opposition to the upcoming 1913 Federal Reserve. All others in the lower decks 2-4, were considered collateral damage.
Mass genocide, fraud, and insurance fraud are not the only claims that may be addressed here.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, THE US TREASURY, EVERY COURT, JUDGE and ATTORNEY, are acting co-conspiring agents for/with The Vatican, as a Racketeering Enterprise, who will deploy and employ any means necessary, including mass genocide or murder, secretly or by the "Leaden bullet" ( see Assassins of Abraham Lincoln) to achieve the goal of the Vatican's intent of "World Domination" as The New World Order", which by now is clearly obvious is "Out of Order."
Now the reader knows why George Bush stated "The Constitution is just a G– D— piece of Paper". Because The Bush's know the rest of the Story.

Christopher Columbus, and that your sons and successors in the said employment, may call themselves Dons, Admirals, Vice-Roys, and Governours of them; and that you may exercise the office of Admiral, with the charge of Vice-Roy and Governour of the said Islands and Continent, which you and your Lieutenants shall conquer, and freely decide all causes, civil and criminal, appertaining to the said employment of Admiral, Vice-Roy, and Governour, as you shall think fit in justice, and as the Admirals of our kingdoms use to do; and that you have power to punish offenders; and you and your Lieutenants exercise the employments of Admiral, Vice-Roy, and Governour, in all things belonging to the said offices, or any of them; and that you enjoy the perquisites and salaries belonging to the said employments, and to each of them, in the same manner as the High Admiral of our kingdoms does. And by this our letter, or a copy of it signed by a Public Notary: We command Prince John, our most dearly beloved Son, the Infants, Dukes, Prelates, Marquesses, Great Masters and Military Orders, Priors. Commendaries, our Counsellors, Judges, and other Officers of Justice whatsoever, belonging Courts, and Chancery, and Constables of Castles, Strong Houses, and others; and all Corporations, Bayliffs, Governours, Judges, Commanders, Sea Officers; and the Aldermen, Common Council, Officers, and Good People of all Cities, Lands, and Places in our Kingdoms and Dominions, and in those you shall conquer and subdue, and the captains masters, mates, and other officers and sailors, our natural subjects now being, or that shall be for the time to come, and any of them that when you shall have discovered the said Islands and Continent in the ocean; and you, or any that shall have your commission, shall have taken the usual oath in such cases, that they for the future, look upon you as long as you live, and after you, your son and heir, and so from one heir to another forever, as our Admiral on our said Ocean, and as Vice-Roy and Governour of the said Islands and Continent, by you, Christopher Columbus, discovered and conquered; and that they treat you and your Lieutenants, by you appointed, for executing the employments of Admiral, Vice-Roy, and Governour, as such in all respects, and give you all the perquisites and other things belonging and appertaining to the said offices; and allow, and cause to be allowed you, all the honours, graces, concessions, prehaminences, prerogatives, immunities, and other things, or any of them which are due to you, by virtue of your commands of Admiral, Vice-Roy, and Governour, and to be observed completely, so that nothing be diminished; and that they make no objection to this, or any part of it, nor suffer it to be made; forasmuch as we from this time forward, by this our letter, bestow on you the employments of Admiral, Vice-Roy, and perpetual Governour forever; and we put you into possession of the said offices, and of every of them, and full power to use and exercise them, and to receive the perquisites and salaries belonging to them, or any of them, as was said above. Concerning all which things, if it be requisite, and you shall desire it, We command our Chancellour, Notaries, and other Officers, to pass, seal, and deliver to you, our Letter of Privilege, in such form and legal manner, as you shall require or stand in need of.

As we are now a part of Steel City Schools Partnership the Board of Trustees is legally accountable for the decisions made in all its academies. However, this does not mean the board is required to make them all itself; it can delegate decisions to the Local Governing Bodies (LGB).
The LGB is well placed to assess whether the school is working within agreed policies, meeting agreed targets and managing its finances well. They have the ability to scrutinise delegated areas in greater depth than the trust board and to 'feed' information up to the trustees in a timely and succinct manner.

What is a Link Governor?
A link Governor creates a good working relationship between the subject specialist within the school and the subject link governor and will enhance the success of any initiatives.
As a model, the subject link governor, in support of the curriculum team, could undertake some or all of the following:
Become informed about relevant documents and legislation; OFSTED criteria for evaluating the subject provision; local and national issues impacting upon the subject.
Liaise with the subject co-ordinator or head of subject in order to become informed about staffing arrangements and training; the condition and availability of resources; curriculum and timetable arrangements; special needs provision; reference to the school development plan; assessment and recording procedures for the subject; which visits and visitors are planned.
Establish and maintain effective lines of communication between the subject co-ordinator and the Governing Body; report back to Governing Body meetings.
If you are interested in being a Governor you can either contact us by mail shall@woodseats.sheffield.sch.uk or via the School Office.

Crystallization of pseudopolymorphs of some gamboge pigments. Pyridine, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide solvates of morellic acid, gambogic acid and guttiferic acid
Anthony, Addlagatta ; Desiraju, Gautam R. (2001) Crystallization of pseudopolymorphs of some gamboge pigments. Pyridine, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide solvates of morellic acid, gambogic acid and guttiferic acid Supramolecular Chemistry, 13 (1). pp. 11-23. ISSN 1061-0278

Morellic acid, gambogic acid and guttiferic acid are related naturally-occurring xanthone pigments that yield X-ray quality crystals only from solvents like pyridine, dimethylformamide (dmf) and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso). The structures of four of these crystals have been determined and are found to contain solvents of crystallization. The solvents hydrogen bond to the carboxyl groups with O-H…O/N motifs previously seen in other carboxylic acids. Distinctive, however, is the presence of an extended though somewhat diffuse array of C-H…O hydrogen bonds that aggregates the entire solute-solvent assemblage in a multi-point manner. Pyridine and dmf are able to mimic each other with respect to their hydrogen bond donating and accepting characteristics and in this respect play equivalent roles in their solvates with morellic acid and gambogic acid. Dmso is seen to self-associate in its guttiferic acid solvate. It is possible that these solvents with multiple hydrogen bonding donor and acceptor capability can act as hydrogen bond nucleators, providing just enough rigidity to the solutes to ensure crystallization.

how can i cancel upload request properly with observable unsubscribe
note i already tried pipe takeuntil() and nothing changed

A: What you'll want to do is return the result from the pipe function on the http request return observable. Right now you have multiple streams and the component's unsubscribe is only unsubscribing to the observable wrapping the http request observable (not connected).
You'll want to do something like:
return this.httpClient.request<any>(req).pipe(
    // use rxjs operators here
);

You'll then use rxjs operators (I've been doing this for a while, but I still highly reference this site) to perform any logic needed and reflect things like your errors and upload progress to the component calling the service. On the component side, you'll keep your subscribe/unsubscribe logic.
For instance, you can use the switchMap operator to transform what is returning to the component from the http request observable and specify the value to return to the component, and catchError to react to any errors accordingly.
return this.httpClient.request<any>(req).pipe(
    switchMap(event => {
        if (event.type === HttpEventType.Response) {
            const responseBody = event.body;
            if (responseBody) {
                this.alertService.success(responseBody.message);
                return { type: event.type, data: new MediaItem(responseBody.mediaItem) };
            }
        } else if (event.type === HttpEventType.UploadProgress) {
            return { type: event.type, data: { loaded: event.loaded, total: event.total } };
        }
        return event;
    }),
    catchError(errorEvent => {
        if (errorEvent.status === 400) {
            this.alertService.error(errorEvent.error['image']);
        } else {
            this.alertService.error('Server Error, Please try again later!');
        }
        return of(<falsy or error value>);
    }),
);

Alternatively you could model it a little more after this example by just returning the http function call from the service to the component and handling things in the subscribe there.

A: actually i found a way as follows
public uploadImage(imageFile: File): Observable<any> {
const formData: FormData = new FormData();
if (imageFile !== undefined) {
  formData.append('image', imageFile, imageFile.name);

  const req = new HttpRequest('POST', environment.uploadImageEndPoint, formData, {
    reportProgress: true,
  });

  return this.httpClient.request<any>(req).pipe(
    map((res: any) => {
      return res;
    }),
    catchError(errorEvent => {
      if (errorEvent.status === 400) {
        this.alertService.error(errorEvent.error['image']);
      } else {
        this.alertService.error('Server Error, Please try again later!');
        return Observable.throw(errorEvent);
      }
      return Observable.throw(errorEvent);
    }));
}

}

Q: Debug tips for intermittent slow responses from Confluence I've started seeing a situation on our internal Atlassian Confluence instance where we get snappy performance most of the time, but a couple of times an hour requests (both read and write operations) just hang for up to a few minutes (longest I've seen is 5 minutes).
I could plough through http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF34/Performance+Tuning but just wanted to check if anyone could point me to anything obvious.
Our setup uses Confluence standalone fronted by an Apache 2.2 instance on the same host, which uses mod_proxy to forward requests to Confluence.  Apache is set up to use HTTPS for all requests.   We have a MySQL DB on a separate server.
There's no obvious spikes in CPU or memory usage on the Confluence or DB servers, so I don't think garbage collection is the problem, and I've tried increasing the MaxThreads in Apache to no avail.
Thanks in advance ...

A: This turned out to be caused by a badly behaving Active Directory server; we have Confluence hooked up to AD via Crowd using a virtual IP address that points to multiple physical AD servers, and one of the servers was responding very slowly.  I switched to a different VIP using only local servers, and everything looks good.
@ErikA, I've had very good experiences with Atlassian support in the past, but in this case they were no help at all :-(


The fact remains undeniable that majority of the people want to relocate during a particular time or a season so that the overall hassle of relocating can be reduced. A large population in Hyderabad believes in shifting during a particular month and it is called as peak season.
This peak relocation season makes the task of selecting, filtering and reaching of the best packing and moving company a little tedious. You actually have no time to compare and check out the best companies, either they can be busy or they are already booked. It gets really difficult to find the best packing and moving companies if you are looking to carry out the moving during peak time in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad is one of the busiest cities in India, this is a city where you can find the big multi-national companies, educational institutes, and government opportunities. People arrive to Hyderabad from across the county for their job change, education, making a career in the film industry, looking for job opportunities in It and so on.
It is quite obvious that those who are looking to relocate to Hyderabad the surely would be in need of packers and movers to shift to different localities. There are also chances that they can shift from Hyderabad to nearby different cities for their career or education. In short, the busy city of Hyderabad is always occupied and in constant demand of good moving companies.
The peak moving season in Hyderabad is usually from March to July. This is the time where schools are off and people with kids find this season as an easy option to relocate to a new city or nearby locality.
This will help them to start the academic year without any hassle at the new place. Moreover, the month of March to July is free from monsoon and winters, you can easily carry the moving without damaging the goods and belongings.
If you are planning to shift during the Peak Season in Hyderabad, here are some significant aspects which you should not miss.
If you don't have any choice and want to relocate during the peak season get ready to shell out some extra bucks as the packer and movers are highly in demand.
It is best to opt the moving company in Hyderabad which offers reliable services at an affordable price. The little price hike will be surely there due to the heavy demand. Avoid approaching the companies which tend to give fake promises and cheap offers.
Prepare a shifting budget and make sure to stick to it, it will help you to make an informed decision. You will be assured that the relocation does not burn a big hole in your pocket.
During the peak season, you will be left with limiting options to make the move. At times it can be difficult to approach your favorite packing and moving company. But, if you are well aware of the plan to shift during the peak season make sure to book the relocation in advance.
If you are left with no other option but want to relocate during the busy season and don't have any reliable packer and mover handy, it is best to get a reference from friends and family who shifted recently. This will help you to get a reliable name whom you can trust with your belongings.

Q: Visual C++ error LNK1120 compiling Good afternoon. I am starting with Visual c++ and I have a compilation problem I dont understand.
The Errors I get are the following :
error LNK1120 external links unresolved
error LNK2019
I paste the code:
C++TestingConsole.CPP
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "StringUtils.h"
#include <iostream>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
using namespace std;
string res = StringUtils::GetProperSalute("Carlos").c_str();
cout << res;
return 0;
}

StringUtils.cpp
#include "StdAfx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ostream>
#include "StringUtils.h"
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

static string GetProperSalute(string name)
{
return "Hello" + name;
}

Header: StringUtils.h
#pragma once
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class StringUtils
{

public:

static string GetProperSalute(string name);

};

A: You only need to declare the method static in the class definition and qualify it with the class name when you define it:
static string GetProperSalute(string name)
{
return "Hello" + name;
}

should be
string StringUtils::GetProperSalute(string name)
{
return "Hello" + name;
}

Other notes:

*

*remove using namespace std;. Prefer full qualifications (e.g. std::string)

*your class StringUtils seems like it would be better suited as a namespace (this will imply more changes to the code)

*string res = StringUtils::GetProperSalute("Carlos").c_str(); is useless, you can just do: string res = StringUtils::GetProperSalute("Carlos");

*pass strings by const reference instead of by value: std::string GetProperSalute(std::string const& name)
