The revolutions of the Arab Spring took the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by storm as countries from Syria to Libya participated in a most unanticipated democratic movement. Millions of citizens took to the streets to express their open and blatant anger against their oppressive regimes while world leaders made statements and pressured these authoritarian leaders to surrender to the demands of their people.
While some countries have boasted quasi-successes in their revolutions, others have suffered as a result of the people's demand for reforms towards a democratic system. In these nations, regimes have deployed military and riot police to quash the protests and silence the people, turning what were once peaceful nations into cauldrons of violence.
In Syria, chemical gas was used against residents living in rebel –held cities. In Egypt, snipers shot at protestors. And even in the small Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, security forces beat and imprisoned demonstrators, who were then, tortured and detained for an indefinite amount of time.
For the past several years, Bahrainis, particularly Shi'ite citizens, have been demanding their basic rights from the dominant Sunni government. The Bahraini royal family has responded in many ways, including using force and committing human rights violations against their own citizens. These protests, taking place in a country with a population of just over 1 million people, have gone largely unnoticed by the international community. But perhaps that's by design.
As the third country to participate in the Arab Spring, Bahrain's pro-democracy movement has received little international media attention because, according to some human rights advocates, the ruling family has been effective in hiding it. The ruling government has systematically cracked down on the protests and, at times, placed the country on a lockdown by denying entry to human rights organizations and the media.
The daughter, sister and niece of three political prisoners currently detained in Bahrain along with thousands of other protesters, Maryam AlKhawaja has made it her purpose to spread the word to the international community about the uprisings in Bahrain. Exiled from her native Bahrain, she now resides in Denmark, where she holds dual-citizenship and continues her work as a human rights advocate for The Bahrain Center for Human Rights and The Gulf Center for Human Rights. I had the chance to interview Maryam and ask her some questions on the current state of affairs in Bahrain.
Many people have no idea what is happening in Bahrain, can you please explain to us what are the protestors' demands and give us a quick overview of the uprisings since they began?
To understand the current situation in Bahrain, you need to understand the background of it. The civil rights movement in Bahrain began in the 1920s and has been ongoing ever since. So when the Arab Spring started in Tunisia and Egypt, we knew it was bound to happen in Bahrain because the people have very legitimate demands relating to basic rights and civil liberties… In Bahrain, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets, a significant portion of the population as it reflects approximately fifty percent of Bahraini citizens, no such amount ever came out against an oppressive regime during the Arab Spring.
As per usual, the Bahraini monarchy responded with the use of force, which caused the protests to increase as anger built up among the people on the ground at the use of force. This also caused demands to be changed from demanding a constitutional monarchy to demanding that the monarchy steps down altogether. As the protests continued to escalate in the Pearl Roundabout, the regime realized that they would not be able to suppress the protests with the forces that they had; they called in reinforcements from Saudi Arabia and the UAE under the guise of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to help with the situation on the ground. Foreign forces came in through the bridge that connects Bahrain to Saudi Arabia and helped the Bahraini government take down the protests. Since then, systematic human rights violations are widespread and people are not allowed back into the roundabout. Whether you're talking about freedom of expression or freedom of assembly, basic human rights and basic liberties are not available in Bahrain. Torture is rampant; people get arrested all the time not simply for participating but also for living within the vicinity of a protest.
Throughout my research, I read a lot about the monarchy wanting to suppress and eventually dilute the Shiite majority in the country. That being said, do you think that the protests reflect the Sunni versus Shiite issues in Bahrain or are both sects united in their stance against the government? Is this tagline merely an excuse used by the government in order to cover up the fact that the people don't want this king in power any longer?
What the government did after the initial protests in 2011 is it used a very sectarian narrative and created a very sectarian crackdown. The reason for this is that the regime understood that if they are not successful in separating the Sunnis and the Shiites in Bahrain and making the protests look like they are sectarian then they would be forced to change and this is not something they want to do. They used the sectarian bit as a tool to tell the international community that this is an uprising of the Shiite and it's linked to Iran and that this has nothing to do with the Sunnis in the country. This also leads to their next purpose, which is to create a separation in the community and the society between the Sunnis and the Shiites because they know that a united front for both these groups would mean the regime's ultimate decline.
Gas is disbursed among protesters.
As for the dilution of the Shiite majority within Bahrain, this is something that has been going on for a long time. For decades now, the monarchy has been working on minimizing the influence of the Shiite population inside Bahrain since they represent the majority and the biggest threat to the king— despite the fact that when we're talking about human rights violations, they affect everyone equally. If you go back thirty or forty years, there has been systematic marginalization and discrimination against the Shiite majority in Bahrain. In the 1950s, there was an uprising called Intifadet El Hay'a, the uprising of the committee, and it was made up of Sunni and Shiite religious leaders. At the time, Bahrain was a British colony and so British forces came in and put down the uprising by arresting the heads of the movement; the Shiites were sent to exile in Iran and Iraq and the Sunnis were sent to Sainte-Helena Island. This was the turning point for the government, the moment they realized that they needed to do something about Sunni and Shiite unity, as that would pose a direct threat to the regime. At that point, the marginalization and discrimination against the Shiite population began. Today there are certain areas in Bahrain where Shiites are not allowed to buy or rent housing. There are certain jobs which Shiite people are not allowed to have and certain ministries of government that have zero percent Shiite in them.
Aside from all this, there is also the issue of political naturalization; the constitution of Bahrain gives the king the right to politically naturalize anyone he wants. As it is in any other country, there are certain criteria that a person must meet in order to become eligible for the Bahraini citizenship and unfortunately, the many migrant workers that are actually eligible to receive the citizenship don't get it because they don't serve a purpose to the regime. Instead you have tens of thousands of Yemenis, Jordanians, Pakistanis and Syrians that are given the citizenship upon arrival. They receive government housing while many Bahraini families, whether Sunni or Shiite, have to wait up to thirty years in order to benefit from this service. The purpose of this is to use them in military forces and riot police, a sector that Shias are not allowed to serve in themselves and only certain Sunni families that pledge allegiance to the family are allowed to serve in. During a protest in Bahrain, you notice that the majority of riot police are Pakistani and don't speak Arabic.
The second reason for the use of this sectarian narrative in Bahrain is that the regime wants to change the demographics of the country. They want to substitute or replace the current population with a population that is loyal to the royal family. So they are attempting to shift from a Shiite majority to a Sunni one to ensure that they stay in power. At some point, the regime will create a poll to see how popular the royal family is among the people and by then the majority of the population will be political naturalized residents who have been given housing, work and a citizenship– the same people that will never go against the government that helped them in the first place. The regime chooses very specific people to bring into Bahrain. They are usually brought from extreme poverty to a country that is willing to give them housing and well-paying jobs in Bahrain to ensure that they never revolt.
Why has the Bahraini protests not received the same media coverage as the Egyptian, Tunisian and Syrian uprisings?
When you talk about international media, I'm not really sure why they don't cover Bahrain. It's possible that it's because a lot of the media is privately owned and so it's not a priority for these privately owned corporations to cover Bahrain. A journalist asked me the same question and so I reciprocated it. His response was that because the country was on lockdown by the government, media was not allowed in, they couldn't get the stories of the people out. We even had a reaction from the international community when [former U.S. Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton stated Bahrain had the sovereign right to invite foreign troops into the country to bring down the protests. But there is no law in international conventions that gives Bahrain the right to do this. You had a foreign military from foreign countries coming in to bring down a popular uprising and yet no one spoke about it in the media.
Your father has been sentenced to life in prison; is he treated well in the prison or are there cases of torture taking place? How does this affect your mission to spread awareness on the uprisings in Bahrain?
My father and my uncle are in the same case. My father, Abdulhadi AlKhawaja, was sentenced to life in prison and my uncle, Salah AlKhawaja, to five years. While my sister, Zainab AlKhawaja, who is also detained in prison, has a total of thirteen cases against her in court because of protesting. She's supposed to come out in February 2014 but that is if they don't prolong it.
The treatment in prison is very bad, both my uncle and my father have been victims of torture when they were first arrested and while detained– physically, psychologically and sexually abused. My father's jaw was broken in five different places. Even in his hospital bed after major surgery on his jaw, they tortured him in the hospital bed and blindfolded him. However, the situation in the prison differs from time to time. They go through periods during which they will not be allowed to have visitors from family, friends, doctors or lawyers and suddenly they will be allowed to receive visitors but will be tormented in some other way. My father was on a 110-day hunger strike until he was force-fed. So there is no systematic way of treating them, it always changes.

As for my sister, she wasn't tortured in the prison but she was beaten by the riot police, dragged away and arrested during the protests. Right now, our major concern with her is that she is being held in a cell with other prisoners that have Hepatitis A and B, both can be contracted through sharing food and bathrooms, and the prison administration refuses to give her a vaccination.
As a human rights defender, I learn to separate between my personal life and my work. When I'm writing a report or a statement, I'm lobbying about Abdulhadi AlKhawaja and Zeinab AlKhawaja, not my father and my sister. I'm talking about two political prisoners in Bahrain like the hundreds of other political prisoners. To me the priority goes to how serious the case is. When I was being interviewed during my father's hunger strike, Salah Abbasi had just been killed and I kept making reference to Abbasi while the interviewer kept telling me that my father might die in the next few days. I responded by telling her that as a human rights defender, the person that's been killed takes priority right now. We have to completely separate personal involvement with these cases and our work. You learn to normalize the cases and that's what keeps you going.
How do you respond to your opposition saying that you are a traitor to your country and that you are working for the Iranian government against your own people?
They actually say that I work as a spy for the Americans, the Israelis and the Iranians at the same time. Usually, I say that I must be the smartest person in the world for bringing those three together and that a lot of governments owe me a lot of money that I would like to get soon.
The thing is, anyone that follows my work knows how ridiculous this is. I also work for the Gulf Center for Human Rights and so within the center we cover human rights violations in Iran and stand in solidarity with human rights defenders in Iran as well. It hasn't had any impact on my life.
How has your public and open call to oust the monarchy affected your every day life? How has exile from Bahrain affected you and your family?
I'm not really calling for the ouster of the monarchy. I'm calling for the trial of the king, the crown prince and the prime minister and for them to be sent to prison if they are found guilty of the crimes that they committed. So technically, I am calling for the ouster of the regime but from a human rights perspective because as a human rights defender, I can't say that I demand the fall of the regime, I can only call for them to be put on trial.
In terms of the influence it has on my life, the worst part of this line of work is the paranoia that comes with it, the feeling you have that every person you meet or even people you already know may be part of the intelligence unit. Due to that, you have a great deal of difficulty trusting people, especially since I work for the Gulf Center for Human Rights that covers cases in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Emirates. I always feel like I'm being watched everywhere I go. When you become a human rights defender, you trade in your privacy for the position, everything you do can be made public at any point in time.
At first, I imposed exile on myself. My father had convinced me that making sure the international community knows what's happening in Bahrain is as important as participating in the uprisings and sometimes even more important. He told me that there were hundreds of thousands of people taking part in the uprisings in Bahrain and only a handful of people on the outside talking about it. So I made the decision to leave and as soon as I left, the GCC forces came in. I knew that if I chose to go back, I would most likely be facing the same things that my father and uncle are facing now and so the exile was no longer self-imposed.
I have, however, gone back in January to visit my father in prison and because I had work to do on the ground in Bahrain. I had a plan to go back again in August but I was denied boarding by British Airways on the request of the Bahraini government. The airline company can deny boarding to any passenger because you sign an agreement giving them this right when you purchase your ticket. However, the Bahraini government does not have the right to deny a Bahraini citizen from entering the country or even staying there if they wanted to. I'm already looking into different ways that I can bring up the issue and try to see what the justification for such a move is. And how I can hold them accountable for it as they did not provide any type of explanation for the denial of my entry into the country.
The government has called for some reforms in the way the police treated the protesters and prisoners, do you think that this is a step in the right direction on the part of the government or simply a diplomatic move in hopes that it may calm everyone down momentarily?
Any type of reforms that the government has put in place since the uprisings began is not for the protesters the smokescreen of reforms in Bahrain is all a public relations campaign to let the international community know that they are making reforms. Protesters on the ground can see that the police are not changing their tactics in the way they deal with them. There is still excessive use of force and the abuse and torture continue on a daily basis. So they know that the reforms that the government mentioned are not being applied. The regime merely wants the chance to tell their allies that they are changing and so there is no need for them to make any statements about the situation in Bahrain anymore. Everything is okay on the ground and we are hearing what our people want and responding to their demands. But in reality, the human rights situation has further deteriorated.
Bahrain is known for its public relations campaigns. The regime spent millions of dollars in the last two and a half years to fund public relations firms to make themselves look better in the international community.
What can the international world do in order to help the people on the ground in Bahrain? Is there any hope that through negotiations on an international level, the government would feel inclined to meet the demands of their people?
There's a lot that can be done with Bahrain. At no point in time, did anyone in Bahrain ask for military intervention, we don't want that at all… For Bahrain to change towards the better, the countries that claim to hold human rights and democracy as the cornerstone of their foreign policy must actually live up to their claims instead of having double standards and choosing which countries they want to help and which they don't. By applying pressure, threatening economic and human rights sanctions that will make them known as human rights violators–this can go a very long way with the situation in Bahrain. The country depends a great deal on their international reputation because Bahrain's main source of the economy is business and finance, so they need to uphold a good reputation in the international community to continue the flow of investors and businesses that are coming into Bahrain.
Unfortunately, foreign policy is always about national interest.

Tracking the progress of HIV: the impact of point-of-care tests on antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: It is now around 30 years since the discovery of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. More than 70 million people have been infected in that time and around 35 million have died. The majority of those currently living with HIV/AIDS are in low- and middle-income countries, with sub-Saharan Africa bearing a disproportionate burden of the global disease. In high-income countries, the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has drastically reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV. Patients on ART are now predicted to have near-normal life expectancy and the role of treatment is increasingly recognized in preventing new infections. In low- and middle-income countries, treatment is now more widely available and around half of those who need ART are currently receiving it. Early diagnosis of HIV is essential if ART is to be optimally implemented. Lab-based diagnostics for screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and the monitoring of treatment efficacy are critical in managing the disease and reducing the number of new infections each year. The introduction of point-of-care HIV rapid tests has transformed the epidemic, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. For the first time, these point-of-care tests allow for the rapid identification of infected individuals outside the laboratory who can undergo counseling and treatment and, in the case of pregnant women, allow the timely initiation of ART to reduce the risk of vertical transmission. Although survival is markedly improved with ART even in the absence of laboratory monitoring, long-term management of people living with HIV on ART, and their partners, is essential to ensure successful viral suppression. The burden of disease in many resource-poor settings with high HIV prevalence has challenged the ability of local laboratories to effectively monitor those on ART. Diagnostics used to initiate and monitor treatment are now moving out of the laboratory and into the field. These new point-of-care tests for viral load and CD4 are poised to further transform the disease and shift the treatment paradigm in low- and middle-income countries.

Forever Does Exist: Breathtaking Immortal Quantum Particles Have Just Been Discovered
By Rada Mateescu , in Sci/Tech on June 18, 2019 . Tagged width: quantum physics , quasiparticles
Everyone knows that nothing lasts forever, but it seems that things are not quite like this…at least not when quantum physics is involved. The latest discovery will blow your mind.
We all know that humans, planets, stars, and galaxies, along with the Universe – all of them have an expiration date, but it seems that some quasiparticles in quantum systems don't follow these rules.
Experts have just found that there are some quasiparticles which are basically immortal to put it simply.
This doesn't mean that they are not decaying, just like everything else, notes Science Alert.
Quasiparticles can reorganize back into existence
The online publication wrote that "once these quasiparticles have decayed, they are able to reorganize themselves back into existence, possibly ad infinitum."
This reportedly seems right when we're dealing with the second law of thermodynamics which says that entropy in an isolated system can only move in an increasing direction. In other words, things can only break down and not build back up again.
Quantum physics can run from these rules, but until now, scientists did not know that quasiparticles can get so odd.
"Until now, the assumption was that quasiparticles in interacting quantum systems decay after a certain time," according to physicist Frank Pollman of the Technical University of Munich.
He continued and explained, "We now know that the opposite is the case: strong interactions can even stop decay entirely."
Science Alter notes that "they're the disturbances or excitations in a solid caused by electrical or magnetic forces that, collectively, behave like particles."
The neverending oscillation between decay and rebirth
Simulations have been run on a powerful computer to see how these quasiparticles decline. The conclusion was the following:
"The result of the elaborate simulation: admittedly, quasiparticles do decay, however new, identical particle entities emerge from the debris," according to physicist Ruben Verresen.
He continued and explained, "If this decay proceeds very quickly, an opposite reaction will occur after a certain time, and the debris will converge again. This process can recur endlessly, and a sustained oscillation between decay and rebirth emerges."


Unison today launches a new generation of its all-electric bending machine featuring mechanical architecture and control software improvements that substantially reduce tubular part fabrication times. The redesign reduces the time required for all the intermediate handling and movement of the tooling configuration tasks the machine performs before and after a bend by as much as 40%. As there might be four or five such auxiliary movements for each bending move, as well as changes of tooling dies, these savings can add up to very large productivity gains - particularly for companies fabricating tubular parts with several bends.
The new machine architecture will now be fitted as standard on all of Unison's all-electric bending machines, which are available for tube/pipe diameters from 16 to 220 mm (5/8 to 8.5 inches).
The reductions in bending cycle times come from two main aspects. The shape and size of all of the machine's auxiliary mechanical axes have been optimized to reduce their mass and inertia. These axes are also being driven at faster speeds - by applying more torque - to accelerate and decelerate at faster rates and to achieve higher top speeds. This use of higher torque does not increase machine cost, as Unison exploits the peak output characteristics of its servomotors to deliver the torque for the tiny fractions of time required.
On some of these axes, Unison has also improved the mechanical dynamics by changing the type of gearing mechanism employed. The design of the main bending arm axis of the machine remains as it is, as the speed of the tube bending task itself is almost invariably limited by the characteristics of the material being bent.
"Higher productivity is important for virtually every tube bending machine user, but wherever production is in high volume - such as in the automotive or furniture manufacturing sectors for example - the gains can be very significant" says Unison's Managing Director Alan Pickering. "Unison's new machine can reduce fabrication cycle times significantly, and we look forward to opportunities to benchmark its performance in real-world applications."

Opiate withdrawal symptoms occur when someone who has become physically addicted to an opiate such as opium, morphine, codeine, pethidine, methadone, and heroin. Most of these drugs have been invented by scientist to deal with the withdrawal of the last one. The problem with this is that the addict will just become addicted and dependant on another drug to get over the last one. The only difference is that they will have a prescription for the drug they are now addicted to and their insurance or even Medicare will pay for it.
When a person is withdrawing from an opiate they will be extremely uncomfortable and sick. They will be depressed and not motivated to do anything that they need to do in their daily lives such as go to school, go to their job, or take care of their kids. They have become so dependant on the drug that doing anything while not high literally becomes an impossible task due to their physical state if they do not get the drug they are addicted to first.
Opiates are one of, if not the most common drug abused by drug addicts in the world. Five countries in Europe now give out heroin to people addicted to opiates. Two years ago they realized they did not have enough opium and began contracting out suppliers in Afghanistan. Canada has clinics where heroin addicts can bring their drugs in and the clinic will provide sterile needles and a sterile environment and even administer the drugs for them. They also have medical equipment and supplies in case someone overdoses. They provide all of this and the drug addict can avoid prosecution.
The fact remains that the sale of drugs, whether distributed legally through prescriptions, or sold on the black market, is an extremely profitable enterprise. Doctors get kick backs from the pharmaceutical companies for selling their drugs, and these corporate titans make campaign donations to politicians who will protect their interests. It seems that it is more profitable to keep people addicted to drugs than to try and help them quit.
Opiate withdrawal symptoms can be so intense that a person would rather go on living as a slave to a drug than to go through a period of withdrawal symptoms. This is the main reason that people continue to get high even when their lives seem to be being destroyed. Many people have experienced the struggle with a family member or a loved one and they cannot understand why the addict would chose to keep going down a path of destruction for such a temporary high. The truth is that the addict needs intense help and someone who has the determination to not give up on them.

Erling Haaland: Borussia Dortmund star scored insane goal in 4-2 win vs Union Berlin
By Danny Ryan
Borussia Dortmund were once again involved in an incredibly entertaining Bundesliga game on Sunday afternoon.
Marco Rose's side beat Union Berlin 4-2 on their home patch, with star striker Erling Braut Haaland notching yet another brace.
The Norwegian superstar has now scored 68 goals in his 67 games for the club across all competitions, which is just a ridiculous record.
His strikes against Union Berlin were both pretty darn tasty as well, with the second of the two goals one of the best of the 2021/22 season so far.
Haaland's first goal was a bullet header that put Dortmund 2-0 up. However, Union Berlin fought back and the scoreline was only 3-2 to the home side going into the final 10 minutes of the match.
The game was in the balance and like all world-class strikers do, Haaland decided to tip it in favour of his team.
After the ball was punted upfield, the former Red Bull Salzburg man latched onto it and produced a stunning lobbed finish on the half-volley to make it 4-2 and seal the three points for Dortmund.
It's a strike that a prime Zlatan Ibrahimovic would have been dead proud of and you can check out Haaland's latest moment of magic in the video below.

The guy is just too good at football. It really is hard to believe he's still only 21, isn't it?
Haaland was the subject of countless transfer rumours in the summer, with Chelsea regularly touted as a potential destination for the striker.
However, he opted to remain at Dortmund for one more season at least and that's a decision that is already paying dividends for both the club and player.
The way Haaland is going, it seems inevitable that he'll win the coveted Ballon d'Or award one day and whichever club is able to secure his signature in the coming years is incredibly lucky.

Divorce Mediation offers separating couples the chance to work with a neutral third party to resolve differences and find solutions — often in a matter of weeks — in a non-adversarial environment. If successful, finally coming to a comfortable and amicable Settlement Agreement will be a much healthier and harmonious arrangement for your whole family.
Divorce conjures up a nightmare of huge legal bills, jockeying lawyers and seething resentment, with wounded children waiting on the sidelines. But it doesn't have to be so grim.
Steer clear of bitter court battles.
Get through your divorce quickly.
Soften the blow on your children.
In truth, most cases that start contested end up settling after a settlement conference or two. Most likely your case will settle as well. But even though most cases settle, they settle because you have been prepared throughout the process. You have been careful not to fuel the other party's case by stupid action or inaction, and you leave the other party desiring to settle, rather than take chances in front of a Judge.

Woman with handgun arrested at White House
1:52am Nov 22, 2014
The White House. (Getty)
A 23-year-old woman armed with a handgun has been arrested while protesting outside the White House, US Secret Service officials say.
In a statement released on Friday, the Secret Service identified the woman as April Lenhart of Mount Morris, Michigan.
"Lenhart was participating in a demonstration along the north fence line of the White House complex when Secret Service personnel monitoring the demonstration observed a holstered handgun on Lenhart's front hip," said the agency.
Lenhart was arrested late on Thursday and charged with possession of an unregistered firearm, possession of unregistered ammunition and carrying a pistol without a licence, said the Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the president, top officials and visiting dignitaries.
Her arrest came just one day after Secret Service officers arrested a 41-year-old man at the White House who had a rifle and ammunition in a car parked nearby.
US media said the man on Wednesday approached a Secret Service officer at 15th Street entrance of the White House, saying someone told him to go to the White House.
A search of his car, parked about a kilometre from the White House, yielded a hunting rifle and ammunition, news reports said.
The Secret Service has beefed up its operations after a string of security lapses, including one involving an armed intruder who scaled the White House fence and managed to get well within the presidential mansion.
Secret Service director Julia Pierson was forced to resign last month in the aftermath of the breaches.

Strategies for Visiting New York City on a Budget
Mark Kahler
Mark Kahler is a budget travel expert and writer with more than 30 years' experience.
(c)Mark D. Kahler
New York City is expensive. But strategies for visiting New York City on a budget can save you quite a bit of money on lodging, dining, transportation, and attractions.
Our money-saving strategies start with your transportation to New York City and take you through a stay full of touring and entertainment.
Getting To NYC
New York has several airports to choose from and budget airlines take advantage of having this choice. This makes shopping for a low airfare a bit easier. Check all of the possibilities before you book a flight. Sometimes booking directly with the airline is the cheapest way to go.
And be prepared. Things included in a more traditional airfare such as meals, movies, or even a printed boarding pass often come at an additional fee on a budget carrier.
With all that traffic, there is also a downside. Delays are common at most airports in the New York City area, and you might find connections tough to catch. Building in plenty of time for connections and arrival home is a smart idea.
Thousands of visitors come to New York expecting to pay $350 or more for a hotel room. They might be willing to pay that median price, but they want good value for the money.
Unfortunately, many times that ordinary price brings an ordinary room. For years, finding a budget New York hotel room meant risking cleanliness, safety, or a very long train ride. Nowadays, business and leisure travelers expect clean, safe accommodations in the heart of the city.
There are strategies for finding budget, middle, and full-service rooms.
For shoestring budgets, scan the Ny.com list of budget offerings. They also suggest Airbnb and VBRO, both sites where individuals host guests in rooms, apartments, and homes on a by-the-night and short-term basis. You can always watch for a Groupon money-savings coupon for NYC digs.
Apple Core Hotels offers five centrally-located, mid-range Manhattan properties beginning at about half the going Manhattan rates. Children under 13 stay free with their parents.
For upscale properties, visit the hotel website and look for seasonal package deals. Websites such as Tripadvisor will pull up the best room rates for you.
Finally, if you're willing to bid on a room, there are sometimes Priceline bargains to be found.
It is generally not a good idea for visitors to drive in Manhattan. New Yorkers often don't even own a car.
Subway and Buses
New York, like other great world cities, has built a subway system over the years that will take you from place to place in the city. The network of routes and stations is so extensive, it's likely a stop exists not far from where you want to go.
Consult an MTA map and make note of which stations are closest to your hotel and the places you'll visit. Don't be intimidated by all the detail. It's really fairly easy to decipher after a moment or two. If you'll take three or more rides in a day, it's a good idea to investigate MTA's passes.
For longer trips, outside the city, consider railroads. The Long Island Rail Road offers reasonable fares to far-flung places like the Hamptons and Montauk. Try to travel off-peak (any time other than 6-10 AM or 4-8 PM), when fares are one-third cheaper. Purchasing online or from machines prior to boarding is cheaper than paying the conductor for a ticket.
If you choose one of the city's iconic yellow cabs, expect to pay for the privilege of getting in, and know that charges accrue for each fifth of a mile traveled. You also pay for every idle minute in traffic, and a surcharge at night. Conventional tips are in the 15 percent range.
Like most cities, New York City has ride-hailing services although the city has started to regulate these businesses.
One of the great New York experiences is riding the world-famous Staten Island Ferry. A round trip is free.
Ferries also run to a variety of other locations. Check the NYDOT website for schedules and prices.
Enjoying Free Things to Do
TripSavvy / Brakethrough Media
New York can be an expensive city, with pricey admission fees and tours that will challenge your travel budget. Yet, there are free opportunities for sight-seeing and visiting museums and attractions. Some of the best New York experiences won't cost you a dime.
Walking the Brooklyn Bridge is always fun to do in mild weather. And when it's chilly head to a museum on a free museum day.
Central Park is full of gardens to wander. Buy lunch-makings at a New York deli and picnic on the lawn in the park.
Anyone visiting New York City will need to bring walking shoes. Walking the neighborhoods, along the rivers and from building to building downtown can be hard on the feet, but cost nothing.
It's possible to tour New York and eat very expensive food during your entire visit if you stick to the tourist haunts. But most of us want to experience the destination we've spent time and money to visit, and that includes sampling the traditional foods. It can be done with some careful planning.
If you're a vegetarian (or if you enjoy a good meatless meal sometimes), check out Happy Cow's Vegetarian Guide, an excellent compendium of places and prices that will suit most tight budgets.
ChowHound.com provides links to restaurants in a fairly wide area of New York and New Jersey. A message board shows diner impressions of various establishments.
Groupon money-savings coupons can be found for a range of restaurants. Another way to save money is to seek out restaurants in the neighborhoods of the city like Chinatown and Little Italy, the most well-known.
New Yorkers are fans of take-out food and that's an inexpensive way to get some excellent food without the high cost of restaurant service. Grand Central Station has a market full of mouth-watering fresh foods that you can take out. Gourmet products found there include 160 types of seafood, 400 types of cheese and meats, and various breads baked on the premises. Grand Central Station also has a food concourse where you'll find everything from burgers to steaks to desserts.
Then, of course, there is the food cart scene with everything from traditional hot dogs to grab-and-go Jamaican dinners.
Sight-Seeing and Entertainment
Just when most visitors recover from hotel room sticker shock, they confront the cost of sightseeing in New York. It can be daunting, but there are ways to skip the ticket lines and save some money on the key attractions.
The bright lights of network television and Broadway call many visitors, and there are ways to save money on those experiences, too.
The best way to find deeply discounted tickets is to wait in line, on the day of the show, at one of the TKTS Discount Booths. There are several locations but you'll find one under the red steps in Duffy Square (47th Street and Broadway) that is close to the theaters.
It's important to spend time outside theaters and studios during your visit, so consider a free walking tour that will keep you entertained and informed.
The New York CityPASS offers free admission to more than 100 of the city's most popular attractions for two- to 10-days, making it the most straightforward of the New York City admission passes. If you're planning to go to four or more of the included attractions (like the Empire State Building or the 9/11 Memorial Museum), you'll find that the pass offers value and convenience.

Jockeying for Yukio Hatoyama's post has begun in Japan, hours after the country's prime minister announced his resignation over failures to move the U.S. Marine base at Okinawa to a less obtrusive part of the island. With Hatoyama's departure — and general elections on the horizon — the Democratic Party of Japan is racing against time to replace its leader. The horserace brings in three principal contenders:
Naoto Kan holds the high ground as Japan's current finance minister. At 63, Kan has been a recent advocate for fiscal discipline and signaled in February that he wants to raise taxes. Japan's economic troubles — marked by rising unemployment and a falling yen — puts Kan in a good position to leverage his considerable experience. But politically, Kan's seniority and proximity to Hatoyama as deputy prime minister leave him little room to maneuver. He told reporters today that his main objective is to "take over the job and make sure it gets done." Translation? I'm like the last guy, but better.
Japanese Transport Minister Seiji Meihara isn't as handy as an economist but is more of an expert when it comes to diplomacy and security. He's riding a wave of enthusiasm at the moment, with a recent straw poll giving him a five-percent lead over the second-place finisher, Kan. Voters reportedly like Meihara for his "strength and decisiveness" — qualities that are sure to be important in Japan's next encounter with the United States. If anyone on the roster is prepared to play hardball with Washington — and after Hatoyama got whipped at the bargaining table, many of them must be — it's this guy.

If anyone on the roster is prepared to play hardball with Washington — and after Hatoyama got whipped at the bargaining table, many of them must be — it's this guy.
Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada presents an intruiging third choice. He's got a major advantage over the fringe candidates who have never held a top post, but he isn't so close to Hatoyama that he can't chart a new course for Japan. Clear expressions of commitment to the U.S.-Japanese alliance and a forward-looking perspective on Asia at large give Okada some goodwill at the global level. His street cred is bolstered by additional pledges of support for environmental policy. In 2008, Okada called for cutting Japan's greenhouse gas emissions to 75 percent of 1990 levels by 2020 — a plan that Hatoyama endorsed last September. That said, with the economy in the tank, climate change is likely to be a non-starter in 2010.

It raises a series of questions: In a fractured world, how do companies with large global footprints decide which side to pick? How does industry define it values? And what happens if the United States and China continue down a path of decoupling? FP's Ravi Agrawal sat down with industry leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss how businesses can build resilience amid a turbulent geopolitical era. The panelists included Anne Richards, CEO of Fidelity International; Carmine Di Sibio, CEO of Ernst & Young; Mathias Miedreich, CEO of Umicore; and Lubna S.

Albano Campus in Stockholm will be a scientific hub for more than 15,000 students and researchers. The campus will be integrated into the surrounding park landscape. The large project is characterised by a complex geometry and heavy constructions.
Akademiska Hus, the property developer of the Albano Campus premises in Stockholm, has commissioned COWI to take on a leading role within a range of disciplines including geo-technology in the planning of the buildings, streets and conduits.
A total of 150,000 m2 of university and higher education premises will be built in Albano, which includes 50,000 m2 for student and researcher accommodation.
The objective is to create an attractive educational and research environment that will form a hub that connects KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. The buildings will be integrated into the surrounding park landscape, with green roofs and large green terraces.
"It's great to be involved in developing the Albano campus, transforming the area from the rundown industrial area it is today into a vibrant educational environment with many green spaces," says Johan Ström, project manager at COWI.
In addition to becoming an attractive learning environment with educational and research facilities, Albano will also offer 1,000 undergraduate and graduate student housing units that will be built on the campus for students and researchers, as well as premises for commercial services such as restaurants and cafes.
COWI's assignment includes all the system management planning for the construction work, and the detailed planning for the foundations and basements of three of the four buildings. COWI is also in charge of the geotechnology in the planning of the buildings, streets and conduits.
"The assignment is challenging in terms of the complex geometry of the buildings and the heavy constructions that need to freely span large lecture halls and teaching rooms. This kind of complex city development project fully reflects our ambition to offer the kind of competence that is required to add value to projects," says Håkan Adelwald, Head of the Building & Real Estate Division at COWI.
The architects for the university premises are BSK Arkitekter and Christensen & Co Arkitekter.
The campus is planned to be ready for occupancy in 2020.


The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners' Association (GGDMA) has launched a countrywide outreach programme as part of its push for higher gold declarations and to increase awareness about malaria in mining districts.
The initiative follows last year's almost record high gold production and the GGDMA's stated intention to surpass the 12-year-old target set during the operation of Omai Gold Mines.
The first outreach meeting was held at Charity, Essequibo Coast,where the GGDMA said Association President Patrick Harding told a large gathering of miners and other stakeholders that a "figure specific" target has not been set since they are expected to surpass all expectations. Harding also urged members to sell their gold to the Guyana Gold Board and licensed dealers.
According to a GGDMA press release, the other objectives of the meeting were to inform miners about developments in the industry, including the rise of malaria in mining districts; the need for increased security in interior locations; and the reduction of international supplies of mercury and the subsequent need to explore new alternative recovery mechanisms.
GGDMA President Patrick Harding addressing the first outreach meeting the Association held this year.
Regarding malaria, the GGDMA noted that it has met with the Ministry of Health several times to lobby for increased action and to request more work to help control the disease but many times "they only get some nets and a lot of promises." However, this year, the group will demand that the ministry do more for the industry or it will inform the international agencies which fund the malaria programme in order to prompt it into action.
The Ministry of Health has noted that rising gold prices have created a population explosion in mining districts, where malaria is prevalent and it will make treatment and sensitisation priorities this year.
The ministry recently reported that over the past four years, the number of persons engaged in the gold mining sector in the affected malarious endemic areas – especially regions 1, 7, 8 and 9 – has significantly increased from 20,000 to about 130,000.
Meanwhile, on the issue of security, the GGMDA president said the Association welcomed the proposed changes in the police 'F' Division and it will fight for it to be given a bigger budgetary allocation to better serve interior locations.
The meeting also discussed using alternative methods for gold recovery, since a reduced supply of mercury is expected due to international restrictions on its sale.
"Mercury has been recognised to be the best methods for the recovery of alluvial gold in countries like Guyana and while the Association recognises the need to look for alternatives, these have to be viable and efficient," Harding was quoted as saying. As a result, the GGDMA has been working with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment for the continued use of the chemical until a viable alternative can be found.
Harding also urged the miners to employ best practices while conducting their work and to take careful note of the Association's motto, "Mining with the Environment in mind." In keeping with this, miners were urged to ensure that they refill mined-out areas; adhere to health and safety guidelines for workers and follow regulations established by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission.
Harding and other GDGMA executives also urged miners to join the Association to benefit from access to free advice on starting up and operations, tried and proven techniques, networking and national and international representation.
Stakeholders also posed a number of questions and the meeting addressed issues about land allocation, the need for improved interior infrastructure such as roads, the influx of foreign miners and the benefits of selling gold to the Gold Board and licensed dealers.
The GGMDA said it plans to augment these achievements by extending training workshops, demonstration of techniques and technology; continuing advocacy for greater rights; and continuing to be a strong, credible and united voice for the industry.
