China-Africa ties help realize shared future
Over the past 15 years Chinese companies have dominated the development projects in Africa
In its 22 years, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation has facilitated the progress of Africa in many fields including trade, economy, infrastructure development and industrialization. The FOCAC's successes can be seen in the shared benefits and the most-talked-about South-South diplomatic engagement.
According to World Bank data, China has sustained its efforts to boost Africa's industrialization process, contributing on average 12 percent to its industrial production or manufacturing as of 2017.
Between 2010 and 2019, China was the biggest employment generator in Africa, creating on average 18,600 direct jobs per year. And creating jobs is the best way of alleviating poverty and promoting the growth of African countries.
Between the years 2000 and 2012, China officially introduced 21 development finance projects in Malawi alone, with the projects ranging from a $70 million grant to build the Karonga-Chitipa Highway linking Malawi with neighboring Zambia in 2008 to the $80 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of China to build a science and technology university.
Also, two Chinese overseas development banks have invested $23 billion in infrastructure projects in Africa, according to the Center for Global Development, a US-based think tank. The figure is $8 billion more than the combined contribution of the other top eight lenders, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and US and European development banks.
According to Economist magazine, China is unrivaled when it comes to building big infrastructure facilities in Africa — to the extent that Chinese enterprises have redrawn the continent's transport map. Today, you can hop on a train in Lagos, Nigeria, to travel to Ibadan, the next closest city, just as you can fly into many recently upgraded airports in different parts of Africa.
In the early 1990s, American and European companies used to handle 85 percent of the construction contracts in Africa, as Chinese enterprises were not in the picture. Over the past 15 years, however, the order has reversed with Chinese companies dominating the development projects in Africa.
In 2020, for instance, Chinese companies were responsible for 31 percent-12 percent more than in 2013 — of all infrastructure projects in Africa, according to Deloitte, a multinational professional services network.
Western observers and the media affirm that Chinese enterprises have played important roles in economic fields such as financing and development of critical infrastructure in Africa since 2017. And according to the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa's estimates, in 2018 China contributed $25.7 billion of the total $100.8 billion committed to African infrastructure development projects.
In 2017, McKinsey estimated that Chinese firms won almost half of all engineering, procurement and construction contracts across the continent, including those funded by non-Chinese entities like the World Bank. One of the latest such infrastructure projects, apart from those in Nigeria, is the Nairobi Expressway that opened to motorists in May this year.
In Nigeria, for example, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation has invested over $2 billion in infrastructure projects such as railways, roads and airports since 2012. It undertook the renovation and upgrading of the top four international airports in Nigeria, with the fourth commissioned on March 22, 2022, in Lagos.
Within five years, the CCECC has built 717 kilometers of railway in four major projects and is working on more, with about 75 percent of the funds coming from the Export-Import Bank of China.
In 2016-17, more than 10,000 Chinese companies were operating in African countries, including 920 in Nigeria, 861 in Zambia, 825 in Tanzania, 689 in Ethiopia, 608 in South Africa, 396 in Kenya, 274 in Cote d'Ivoire, and 248 in Angola. These companies account for $500 billion of Africa's industrial volume, all handled by Chinese investors.
Assessing the success and impact of the FOCAC when it turned 20 in October 2020, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that in 2019, direct Chinese investment in Africa was more than $49.1 billion, up by nearly 100 times from 2000.
Besides, in 2021 China-Africa trade was worth $250 billion, up by 20 times from 2000. China has been Africa's largest trading partner for 13 years in a row and contributed more than 20 percent to Africa's growth for a number of years.
And at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, China was Africa's highest donor of funds, and medicines and medical equipment, as well as source of experts, which helped the African countries to fight the scourge. The donations came from the Chinese government, companies and agencies, including Chinese companies operating in and communities living in Nigeria.
The outcomes of the Sino-African relationship have in all facets been in tandem with China's policy of building a community, as reported by China Daily, a partner of TV BRICS.

For its 30th anniversary, YSK Corporation remembers its roots

Marcia Davey uses both hands as she picks up and packages a front lower arm for a Honda Accord suspension that weighs almost 15 pounds. Davey has been with the company since it opened 30 years ago. "I came here because I needed a job and saw it as a good opportunity," said Davey. "The benefits are good, and the people are nice and treat you well and care about you when you are sick by sending you flowers or visiting you while in the hospital." (Photo: Robert McGraw/Gazette)
CHILLICOTHE - Tucked behind the large Kenworth facility is a small, Japanese-owned company where employees have forged their own community for the past 30 years.
YSK Corporation, a car part production facility, has been operating in Chillicothe since 1989. And this year, for the 30th anniversary, staff are going back to their roots to celebrate the success over the years.
"For a small company such as ours, this is a big accomplishment," said Mary Stevens, section leader and employee of 29 years.
The corporation started as a Honda supplier, manufacturing parts for cars. Since its start, YSK has expanded its facility and constructed a new building to keep up with the competition. Now, the business has nearly 200 employees and four Japanese members.
While YSK employees rave about the benefits of the job, including competitive wages, paid holidays and health care, they also highlighted the sense of community and a feeling of family among staff. Regardless of where someone works in the facility, they can find connections with other employees at the production line or in the front office, according to Stevens.
Stevens remembers joining the business just one year after they opened. At the time, they offered Japanese and English courses for employees. While the language classes are no longer available, workers can enroll in culture courses to learn more about the history of their company's nation and the people who run it. The class also helps Japanese employees adjust to life in the United States.
"You learn a lot about people," Stevens said. "You're so involved and they become your work family."
YSK Employees Ginger Short, Mary Stevens, Rick Tripp, Yukiko Essinger, and Kent Ziegler all stand beside the happiness cherry tree. Essinger had the idea for the tree where employees could write a happy memory at their time at the company with the tree looking more like a bush with so many responses. (Photo: Robert McGraw/Gazette)
In honor of 30 years of business, staff administrator of human resources, Yukiko Essinger decided to create a happiness tree based on the cherry blossom trees that were planted on the property for the opening. The tree is designed with construction paper and features cut out petals. Employees were invited to write a happy memory they have from their time at the company. They've received so many replies that the tree has started to look more like a bush, according to Essinger. But she takes the number of petals as a sign of high-grade feedback from employees.
Workers will also be invited to a luncheon where special guest speakers will be in attendance and gifts will be distributed. But one of the main highlights of the event was the decision to replant several cherry blossom trees, that were originally planted in 1989, to honor the anniversary.
"Those trees lasted us for 30 years and we're hoping they'll take us into the next 30 years," said Stevens.
Cherry trees are also symbolic of the relationship between the U.S. and Japan dating back to 1912 when they were given as gifts of friendship. In return, America gave Dogwood trees.
The company even enlisted a former employee to forge gifts out of the bark of the dead trees. The gift will be symbolic of the growth of the trees, and corporation, and the future of YSK, according to Essinger.
YSK president Shunji Wakahara stands in front of one of the newly planted cherry blossom trees recently planted for the 30th anniversary of YSK. The cherry trees, which normally live for about 30 years, are symbolic of the relationship between the U.S. and Japan and go all the way back to 1912 when they were exchanged with Dogwood trees as a sign of friendship.

Rick Tripp, who works in the environmental health and safety area, has been with the company since the start. He says that while the nature of the company's production and business is constantly changing, the feeling of family and community among the employees at YSK has always stayed the same.
"I've always felt a sense of family, we're close-knit," Tripp said. "That was instilled in us on day one and it's still here."
YSK Corporation will celebrate 30 years with employees on Thursday, Sept. 12.

'I'm Not There' is the title of one of Bob Dylan's most remarkable songs, mysterious in word and tune. It was recorded as part of his 'Basement Tapes' sessions with The Band in 1967, but not released when the Basement Tapes album was published in 1975, presumably because of the unfinished state of the recording. It passed into legend as the greatest Dylan song you had never heard (unless you were a connoisseur of bootlegs). It emerged into public consciousness with Todd Haynes' 2007 film I'm Not There, a sort of biopic in which different actors (Richard Gere, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett etc) play Dylan at different states of his career. The title perfectly summed up the mystery of the man whose portrait could not be painted. It is also the ideal title for the saga of Dylan's acceptance of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Like all good people. I rejoiced at the news in October that Bob Dylan had been awarded a Nobel Prize, "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition". Yes, there was a little bit of discussion about whether a popular musician was suitable for such an award, and whether what Dylan wrote qualified as poetry, but mostly people recognised that the award was timely. As Professor Horace Engdahl said in his presentation speech at the ceremony yesterday, it was "a decision that seemed daring only beforehand and already seems obvious". Having been an outside bet for the award for years now, Dylan was finally being recognised for what he had done for the word in our times.
And then the fun began. Anyone who has followed Dylan over the years will know that he does his own thing, and that that thing can conflict with what seems logical, or courteous. From his earliest days as a performer, such as the notorious time in 1963 when he used the occasion of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee awarding him its annual Tom Paine Award to say that he understood what Lee Harvey Oswald might have been thinking, Dylan has not seen ceremony the same way as the majority. It's something about not accepting norms as necessarily being truths. As with any artist of note who has reached a certain age, he has had his fair share of medals offered to him, and he has turned up to collect his Legion d'Honneur and Presidential Medal of Freedom, while looking acutely awkward on both occasions.
So, the normal thing to do on being told that you had been awarded a Nobel Prize would be to express shock and delight to the media, to thank those who had bestowed the award, then to turn up on the day, armed with a speech designed to say something profound about literary significance. Dylan, naturally, did none of these things. He did not initially acknowledge the award at all, instead playing a show at Las Vegas that evening. It was not reported on his website (a brief notice was there for a short while, only to be removed). Dylan's snub to the no doubt embarrassed Nobel committee became a news story in itself. Would he turn down the award? What was he thinking? Eventually Dylan acknowledged the award, expressing a rather touching sense of awe at such an honour, and saying that he would be there at the ceremony if he could.
And then he couldn't come after all. Who can say why. He didn't have a concert planned for the date, but Dylan only offers us mystery, with each version of him that we see turning out in the end to be the Dylan who is not there. My personal theory is that he saw what the dress code was for a Nobel Prize award ceremony, and decided that he just wasn't going to fit in, but maybe it was just plain nervousness.
Instead we got Patti Smith, who happened to be there in any case for a Nobel Week speaking event. She wouldn't collect the prize on his behalf, but she would sing one of his songs, a manifestation of Dylan much the same as Cate Blanchett became a manifestation of Dylan in the film. I watched the ceremony streamed live on YouTube (along with around 3,000 others, so YouTube informed me). We saw the great and the good of the Nobel world dressed in their finery; heard the opening address by Professor Carl-Henrik Heldin, Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Foundation, warning us of the threats to truth in the world today; saw the worthy laureates for physics, chemistry and medicine receive their prizes; and heard short classical musical interludes.
His rhyming is an alchemical substance that dissolves contexts to create new ones, scarcely containable by the human brain. It was a shock. With the public expecting poppy folk songs, there stood a young man with a guitar, fusing the languages of the street and the bible into a compound that would have made the end of the world seem a superfluous replay. At the same time, he sang of love with a power of conviction everyone wants to own. All of a sudden, much of the bookish poetry in our world felt anaemic, and the routine song lyrics his colleagues continued to write were like old-fashioned gunpowder following the invention of dynamite.
With the ending of the speech, the man who was not there received a standing ovation. In his place, Patti Smith sang 'A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall', first recorded for Dylan's Freewheelin' album in 1963. She sang amid an orchestra, initially accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and pedal steel, before the strings came in. Awfully, though, she forgot the words about a quarter of the way through and had to start again, pleading nervousness. She nearly forgot them a second time, but happily recovered, leaving us to wonder when her discomfort was on account of nerves, thoughts on the enormity of the song's significance, or simply the effects of age (it's a long song, and Dylan has spoken of his reluctance to sing some of his old songs because there are too many words for him now to remember). What irony that the final verse ends with the words "But I'll know my song well before I start singin'".
… just as in the era of Alfred Nobel, today there are dark clouds in the sky around the world. Terrorist acts are a part of many people's daily lives, and wars are under way in many places. International cooperation, cross-border movements and openness are being criticised. Science and knowledge are being questioned, the climate issue being one recent example. Leading politicians − both in Europe and the United States – are winning votes by denying knowledge and scientific truths. Populism is widespread and is reaping major political successes. The grim truth is that we can no longer take it for granted that people believe in science, facts and knowledge.
If you wanted a picture of an elite you could do no better than the 1,500 people gathered in the Stockholm Concert Hall for the Nobel Prize ceremony. Here was privilege combined with understanding, a civilised world built on science, rationality, humanism – and dynamite. It is a world under threat because the rational is just one kind of story, and today those who cling to other kinds of stories are in the ascendant. They are losing the narrative, and with it power. They will need to find again stories that enough people can believe in, or else a hard rain is undoubtedly gonna fall.
You sense that Dylan is still trying to work out the meaning of the acclaim that his work has received, and the awards that follow such acclaim. What is literature anyway? It is something upon which the great and the good pronounce, from time to time. Such truths have been held to be self-evident. But today such belief is under threat. Maybe Dylan was likewise querying our ceremonies and assumptions when he reacted so strangely to the news of the award. Maybe there's still something in him of the young man who didn't see the Tom Paine award in the way that those bestowing it did. Maybe he was just overwhelmed. More likely he'd want you not to be looking at him but to listen to the songs, and make up your own mind.


We begin Colossians. Pondering Paul's greeting.
"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father" (Colossians 1:1,2).
Paul's introduction ("an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God") is familiar, but audacious. Sent by the authority of Messiah Jesus? The Jesus crucified almost 30 years ago? Sure, resurrection rumors recur. But most think them just that. Yet, here's Paul claiming to authoritatively represent him–and this "by the will of God"! So, we're obliged to listen.
While Paul's a prisoner in Rome, Timothy is with him. The younger man occupies an increasingly important place in Paul's life and ministry. In a few years, Paul will write two letters to Timothy, the latter the last we have of Paul's letters. Here Timothy is his "brother", both in the faith and in the mission.
Paul addresses " . . . the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse". " . . . holy" is the NIV's translation of the Greek hagios. Many Bible versions translate this "saints".
" . . . in Christ" ; that is, their union with Christ by faith and the Spirit, sets them apart to Christ.
They are "faithful brothers". Though commentators are divided whether pistos should be translated "faithful" or "believing", "faithful" better suits the context, because a problem is growing in the Colosse church. Gnosticism, though not an organized system of belief until a hundred years later, is already influencing thought. The doctrine taught that the world was created by Christ, who was a lesser deity and an emissary of the far-off divine being. "Insider" knowledge (gnosis) of him brought redemption to the human spirit from the evil material world. To the church, the danger was not rejection of Christ, but a diminishing of him.
To counter that, Paul boldly writes of Christ . . .
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross" (Colossians 1:15-20).
" . . . faithful", then, is Paul's way of encouraging the believers who hold fast to the gospel of Christ, not mixing in gnostic ideas.
Colosse sat about 100 miles east of Ephesus in Asia Minor. It was part of an important trade route that included the cities of Hierapolis and Laodicea. Once a large, populous city, Colosse had become a small town when Paul writes to the church there. The town was largely Gentile. But estimates of a Jewish population reach as high as 50,000.
"Grace and peace to you", as always, isn't just first-century-letter-form. It's Paul's blessing for the church–that the church might enjoy a greater abundance of the Father's unmerited favor in Christ and, from that, enjoy fullness of well-being from him.
With that, Paul's greeting to the Colossians ends.
"Grace . . . to you". A welcome blessing pronounced. A greater gift of grace. The Father's unmerited favor. Love undeserved. Sins forgiven. A grace greater than our sins. Estrangement reconciled. Sufficient power perfected in weakness. Embrace of us who are nothing by the One who has the supremacy in all things. And, therefore, . . .
" . . . peace to you". Reconciled to the holy Father by the blood of the Son shed on the cross. War ended. Sinners surrendered and welcomed. Distance bridged. No sin held against graced sinners. A pervasive sense of well-being in the soul.


The Bryant family: (from left) Nora, Myka, Anthony and Devan. Anthony started collecting records when he was a kid and now has a major music library. "My parents had a good record collection, and that is how I remember getting started," he says.
The couple's dogs, Finn, a deaf Catahoula-pit mix (pictured here), and Roxy, a Boxer-pit mix, both come from Ring Dog Rescue, a nonprofit that works with bulldog breeds.
"Before the little ones, we used to do a lot of vintage shopping, buying antiques for the house," Anthony says. "That was a fun time." This shelving unit holds Nora's cookbook collection.
As the Bryant girls have grown, Anthony and Nora have kept a sweet and sentimental collection of their little shoes.
Anthony and Nora snagged a limited-edition print that street artist Shepard Fairey created for 1708 Gallery. They later ran into Fairey at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Nora's cousin, who works in the state department, was stationed in Oman for work and brought the couple these brass lanterns as a special gift from abroad.
As a wedding gift, Nora gave Anthony a painting of Brazilian soccer player Edson Arantes do Nascimento (aka Pelé) painted by artist Martin Reamy, who's a friend.
"The idea at its core is to have a space where parents and kids can enjoy themselves," says Anthony Bryant of Little Nomad, the children's clothing shop he co-owns with his wife, Nora, in downtown's Arts District.
Looking around the couple's two-story dwelling, it's apparent that Little Nomad's family-friendly vibe has spilled over into their home. Located in the Fairmount neighborhood just north of Union Hill, the Bryants' house is outfitted with a mix of vintage furnishings and sentimental collections that set the tone for a comfortable and casual home where they raise their two daughters, Myka, 4, and Devan, 6.
Anthony runs Little Nomad and moonlights as a DJ, while Nora works with Henrico County Public Schools as a preschool special education teacher. She also teaches a few courses through the University of Richmond School of Professional and Continuing Studies.
Nora, who grew up in Williamsburg and attended James Madison University, moved to Richmond in 2001 for her first teaching job and earned her master's degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. Anthony grew up in Chesterfield and studied mass communication at Virginia State University with the intention of going into radio. But while working at the store Up Against the Wall during college, he realized, "I could probably do this one day, have my own shop." After meeting through a mutual friend in 2005, the couple tied the knot in 2010 and started their family soon after.
Little Nomad originally started in 2015 as a blog covering family outings, cooking with kids and other topics. It eventually grew into the store, which opened at 104 W. Broad St. in July 2017. The couple spent the two years leading up to their grand opening establishing the Little Nomad brand, so by the time they opened, they had a following in the community.
In the shop, the couple sells ethical and sustainable brands at a variety of prices, focusing on clothing that doesn't subscribe to stereotypical gender themes. They also source vintage denim that Anthony gussies up with fun patches, and they design and produce shirts, including their best-selling "RVA All Day" tee.
I was trying to find more info on their shop and I think this article contains the wrong Little Nomad link. The link takes you to Little Nomad playmats, not Little Nomad Shop in Richmond.
We've made that correction -- the link should have been https://littlenomadshop.com/ -- thanks for your comment!

We in the marketing business are shameless users, snatching the latest social media hit which always starts out as a fun, sharing platform among students, hobbyists, musicians, grandparents.
As soon as we see it grab traction, we jump on the machine to see if we can steer it toward our purposes.
But in the beginning, we never have control of the steering wheel or the direction.
There were many questions. Who uses Pinterest? What is the ROI? Who is the target audience?
It's too early to ask these questions. We're in new territory. Study it, play with it and experiment.
Seven years and a universe ago, MU gained international attention for its use of podcasting. Now it's not in the news but tens of millions of people listen to podcasts. Facebook was a college game and evolved into a $100 billion business.
Is Pinterest headed in the same direction? My guess is yes.
Remember, we, the marketers are the intruders. Pinterest started as a site where people (mainly women) shared recipes, patterns, quilts.
It grew quickly into much more and now we're trying to make it work for us.
Don't try to control it. You can't. Social media evolves itself. Don't ask right now what your target audience is. The target audience finds you if you do it right. Don't ask what the ROI is. The target audience delivers it if you do it right.
How do you do it right? You experiment.
As Mike Moran says Do It Wrong, Quickly.
We're exploring Pinterest at Mansfield and I'm experimenting with it personally. UW Tacoma has a good site with variety and a sense of play, and other schools are fast joining the party.
Forget the "suit" questions right now.
Have fun and make sure your boards — interesting and substantive — are there when your audience comes searching for for you.
I'm seeing Pinterest as a new wave viewbook. Granted, high school students and parents haven't caught up with it, but then, neither have colleges.
A student or a parent can poke through the boards to get a feel for the campus, its programs and activities. But like all social media, it has to be real. If you create boards that are as stiff, clunky and, mmm, didactic as printed materials sometimes are, your boards will fall flat.
There is a discussion about copyright which revolves around people repinning photos of others, not knowing if they're copyrighted. Almost everything we post is ours. We own the pictures and we want you to repin them. Just as we want you to share the photos on our website, our videos as well as our Facebook and Twitter material.
One reader commented on the last post that she's worried about copyright if the school posts, say, the cover of a faculty book or bookstore items. I'm not a lawyer but I can't imagine a publisher or manufacturer getting upset about promoting their products. As long as there is no misrepresentation or a third party making profit from their works, there shouldn't be a problem.
The only glitch we've had is an artist who insists on approving photos taken of him in performance. We've been waiting now for several weeks. We haven't heard from hm so we'll use what we want. Marilyn Monroe might have had approval rights, but this is a different age, one in which an audience member takes a picture and posts it on YouTube before the artist finishes his first verse.
Right now it's important to get a Pinterest board started. The possibilities are nearly endless. The seasons, club activities, video testimonials, and projects. The secret is to keep it real and create categories that others — parents, students, alumni and constituents –are interested in.
And it should cost next to nothing. At Mansfield, we have a photo library of 40,000 + photos, student video testimonials, TV shows and more. With some creative thinking about boards, they fall together pretty easily.
It does take time to produce each board but with careful photo/video selection and tight writing, they shouldn't have to be updated too often.
In fact, by the time your boards need to be updated, the print viewbook might well be a historical mention in Wikipedia.
A good introduction is The Ultimate Guide to Marketing Your Blog, Podcast or Videos with Pinterest. It's a free download and aside from the writers using "great" every other graph, it is written in a simple and lively way and has good, solid information.
It didn't take long for us marketing folks to see a new venue to promote our stuff. Is it a good venue?
Actually, I think it's excellent.
The bottom line is to be there when the audience comes looking for you.
Pinterest is the new social media explosion.
Is it the Wild West all over again?
Do we marketing types really know how to use it?
Do we need to jump on the wagon?
Pinterest is the world's fastest growing social media site. It started as a way to share — gardening tips, fashion, recipes, and wedding planning. The primary demo was, and continues to be for now, women.
But it's changing and expanding at an exponential speed that would have excited Einstein. Do a search for anything — antique swords, silent movies, Eros– and you'll find people who share your interest.
It's a virtual bulletin board in Alice's Wonderland. Hours melt before you as you follow this link, and search for this subject and find worlds within worlds, still pointing to more.
Will Pinterest last? I think so.
The news that we're an increasingly visual society is old. Words are work. People read less and less as time passes. I don't like it but I'm working to accept it.
Who imagined that YouTube, from its first amateurish, silly, and often sophomoric postings would become the most popular search engine in the world?
In my mind, Pinterest is a college marketer's dream.
Mansfield University jumped onto Pinterest in early 2012. A no-brainer . We've created boards on Stars Who Have Performed at Mansfield, Scenes on Campus, Regional Activities, and Student Organizations, Campus Buildings, and others. We'll be adding more.
We organize — visually — our topics of interest, fill in with short written content and post.
Does it work? Don't ask. In the marketing world Pinterest is in its infancy.
Is it worth the time involved? Yes. Experiment. Test. Play.
-Copyright doesn't have to be a dilemma.

Less Lean, More Gleam
Monday, March 21, 2011 Road Junkies 0 Comments
3 MONTHS IN EUROPE, DAY 21:
La Spezia, Italy to Pisa, Italy.
Today we rented a car and left the charming La Spezia behind. After a brief visit to the colorful fishing village of Portovenere, we hit the A15 and headed south along the Italian coast toward Pisa.
Our visit to Pisa's famous Leaning Tower came near the end of a remarkable restoration period for this famous Italian icon. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower took 177 years over three stages interrupted by frequent battles between the Republic of Pisa and neighboring republics of Genoa, Lucca and Florence.
With only a ten-foot foundation set in weak subsoil, the tower was already beginning to tilt by the third floor just five years after construction began. In an effort to compensate for the lean, architects designed the upper floors with one side taller than the other.
As we all know from seeing photos of the famous tower all our lives, these efforts were not enough to correct the tilt. Nor did the tower stop its tilt. By the mid-twentieth century, the tower was leaning to such an extent that a multinational task force was convened to determine how to stabilize the tower. Much research ensued and in 1990, the tower was closed to the public and underwent a decade of stabilization and corrective work. In a multi-pronged effort that included steel girdles, lead weights, and removing soil from below the high end, the tower's lean was improved from 5.5 degrees to just under 4 degrees. Experts declared it stable for at least 300 years, and it was reopened to visitors in 2001.
Though the tower had been stabilized, there was still centuries of erosion and discoloration caused by air pollution, pigeon deposits and corrosive sea salt. Millions of tourists over the years had left their marks as well, as had rain that collects in certain areas due to the slant. Since 2003, a team of 10 restoration experts has cleaned every one of the 24,424 blocks of stone in the tower using lasers, chisels and syringes. Scaffolding remains on the top level as they are about to complete their work.
Today the tower looks like a beautiful wedding cake that almost toppled on its way to the reception. The cleaning is said to have cost in excess of €6 million ($8.5 million), making the €15 ticket to climb to the top of the tower seem quite reasonable.
Baptistery of St John, completed in 1363
Pisa's leaning tower is, of course, the bell tower for the medieval cathedral of Pisa. Other structures in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) include the circular baptistery and the camposanto, which we found to be particularly fascinating being the taphophiles that we are.
Camposanto at Pisa Duomo
Called a campo santo (holy field) because of its foundation of soil brought back to Pisa from Golgotha in the Holy Land, this walled cemetery dates from the late 13th century. This large Gothic cloister was once home to beautiful frescoes, dozens of Roman statues, and elegantly decorated sarcophagi.
Camposanto interior
During World War II, a fragment from an Allied bomb hit the roof of the camposanto, and the timbered supports caught fire, melting the leaden roof and destroying most of the contents. The painstaking work of restoration has been ongoing for decades but the statuary and other contents can never be replaced. Only 84 of the originals remain intact.
Sample sarcophagus in the Camposanto
Visiting these majestic spaces in Pisa, it's easy to forget how much the city depends on the revenue from tourists to maintain them. But once you step outside the square, you will have no difficulty finding a souvenir of your trip to the leaning tower. They come in all sizes, materials and colors, but only one shape.
Leaning bottles of liquor
PISA STATS
Tower height: 186 feet (183 on low side)
Horizontal displacement: 12 ft 10 in (from where it would be if straight)
Dirt removed to help stabilize: 77 tons
Angle of slant: 3.99 degrees
Number of bells: 7, tuned to the musical scale
By Our Count:
Souvenir stalls near the piazza: 122
Stalls selling the identical souvenirs: 119
Sizes of leaning tower shaped bottles: 25
Designs of leaning tower boxer shorts: 12
Sizes and styles of leaning tower decorative replicas: 81
So many towers, even one with Pinocchio on board
Dozens of stalls line the plaza around the cathedral site, all selling the same wares.

Hippolyte Simon, né le  à Saint-Georges-de-Rouelley dans la Manche et mort le  à Caen dans le Calvados, est un archevêque catholique français émérite, ordonné évêque en 1996 puis nommé archevêque de 2002 à 2016 du diocèse de Clermont et vice-président de la Conférence des évêques de France de 2007 à 2013.

Biographie

Formation
Hippolyte Simon a été élève à l'institut Notre-Dame d'Avranches (1956-1963) puis au grand séminaire de Coutances (1963-1968) et au séminaire de Bayeux (1968-1970) ; il a par la suite fait des études de philosophie à l'université de Paris I Censier-Sorbonne et à l'Institut catholique de Paris. Il est titulaire d'une maîtrise de philosophie politique (Paris-I) et d'une maîtrise de philosophie (Institut catholique de Paris).

Il a soutenu son mémoire sur Le Dépérissement de l'État selon Karl Marx, qui sera la base de l'ouvrage Chrétiens dans l'État moderne : comment peut-on être chrétien après Marx et Hegel ?.

Principaux ministères

Hippolyte Simon est ordonné prêtre le  pour le diocèse de Coutances-et-Avranches.

Après un premier ministère comme aumônier de lycée à Mortain (Manche), il s'est consacré à l'enseignement, tout d'abord comme supérieur du séminaire interdiocésain de Caen de 1978 à 1990, puis comme vicaire épiscopal chargé de la formation permanente des prêtres et des laïcs et délégué diocésain pour le diaconat permanent de 1990 à 1996 du diocèse de Coutances-et-Avranches. Il a fait partie des auditeurs à l'Institut des hautes études de Défense nationale (IHEDN) entre 1993 et 1994.

Nommé évêque du  diocèse de Clermont le , il a été consacré le 4 mai de la même année, des mains de Jacques Fihey dans la cathédrale de Clermont-Ferrand. Il est élevé à la dignité d'archevêque métropolitain de Clermont le , à la suite du redécoupage des provinces ecclésiastiques en France et a reçu le pallium des mains de Jean-Paul II à Rome le 30 juin  2003.

Il a été vice-président de la Conférence des évêques de France de 2007 à 2013.

Il a été par ailleurs représentant des évêques de France auprès de la Commission des épiscopats de la communauté européenne (COMECE) jusqu'en , date à laquelle Christian Kratz, évêque auxiliaire de Strasbourg lui succède auprès de cette commission.

Hippolyte Simon présente par lettre sa démission le  pour raisons de santé au pape François, qui l'accepte. Celle-ci prend effet le jeudi .

Hippolyte Simon meurt le  à Caen à l'âge de 76 ans.  Il est inhumé dans la crypte des évêques de la cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Clermont le .

Prise de positions

À propos des tests ADN
En , Hippolyte Simon réagit vivement à l'amendement au projet de loi sur l'immigration proposant d'introduire le recours à des tests ADN pour les candidats au regroupement familial. Il explique que la paternité ne peut se réduire au lien biologique, mais est avant tout un lien d'amour. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui donne tout son sens à l'adoption.

À propos de la candidature de la Turquie à l'Union européenne
En 2004, comme vice-président de la COMECE, il apporte sa voix dans le débat concernant une éventuelle adhésion de la Turquie à l'Union européenne. Il demande que l'État turc s'engage à reconnaître un statut officiel aux minorités religieuses présentes dans le pays, engagement qui « devrait faire partie des conditions préalables à l'ouverture des négociations d'adhésion ». Il existe en effet des manquements flagrants à la liberté religieuse dans ce pays.

À propos du dialogue interreligieux
En , réagissant à une tribune de Christian Delorme, il publie une déclaration intitulée « Le dialogue interreligieux suppose et exige l'État de droit ».

Il y insiste sur l'importance de l'État de droit pour permettre et garantir les conditions d'un véritable dialogue par le respect des libertés individuelles.

Par ailleurs, il rappelle que dans ce dialogue, alors que les confessions religieuses différencient les participants, c'est la citoyenneté qui constitue leur point commun.

Il parle donc d'un « trilogue », associant l'État de droit aux acteurs du dialogue interreligieux.

À propos de l'Islam en France
En , Hippolyte Simon réagit dans le quotidien La Croix au sujet de la question récurrente de l'organisation par l'État de l'islam en France : Faut-il à tout prix « un islam de France ?»

Pour lui, c'est la compréhension de la laïcité et de la loi de 1905 qui est en jeu. La laïcité « n'est pas une question religieuse mais une question juridique et institutionnelle. » C'est pourquoi d'ailleurs il n'y a pas plus de sens à parler de « l'Église de France ».

The Dapchi girls' secondary school in Nigeria has reopened its doors, nearly three months after it was attacked by terrorists and 109 students kidnapped. Nearly all of the girls were safely returned home about a month later, but parents in Dapchi are grappling with tough choices - do they send their daughters back to school, is it safe? Chika Oduah reports from Dapchi.


users.ncable.net.auHere's an unusual tomato trellis.
The middle of June is the perfect time to build trellises for tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans and vining ornamentals, according to the Oregon State University Extension Service. Go here to find detailed trellis designs for half a dozen fruits and vegetables. Take a peak at "Grow Your Own Beans and Peas," for example.


The pace is slower in Rodanthe than in some of the villages to the north and south on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Kiteboarders and surfers flock to the strip of island midway down the Cape Hatteras National Seashore with the Atlantic on one side and Pamlico Sound on the other. Campgrounds and vacation homes provide most of the lodging in the immediate area.
Rodanthe Watersports and Campground (watersportsandcampground.com), on the sound side of Hatteras Island, offers waterfront campsites with water and electric hookups. The adjacent water sports rental office provides wave runners, surfboards and paddleboards at hourly, daily and weekly rates. Instructors are available for novice sailors. The Cape Hatteras KOA (koa.com) on the Atlantic Ocean side of Highway 12 serves pancake breakfasts and shows movies on an outdoor screen during the summer season. RV sites have full hookups, and spacious tent sites are in a grassy area. KOA also offers cabins. Woodall's awarded Camp Hatteras (camphatteras.com) four Ws for facilities and five Ws for recreation. The upscale RV park on the sound side of the island has a pool and hot tub, miniature golf and sports courts.
Vacation home rentals are the preferred lodging for many repeat visitors to the Outer Banks. Clearinghouse websites such as VRBO (vrbo.com) and Vacation Rentals (vacationrentals.com) allow direct contact between the homeowner and renter, making it easier to find exactly the right house and, in some cases, negotiate on the rental price. Outer Beaches Realty (outerbeaches.com) and Sun Realty (sunrealtync.com) are local real estate agencies handling vacation home rentals. Many are upscale properties with amenities such as pool tables, wet bars, high-speed Internet and hot tubs. During the high season, most vacation homes require a one-week rental.
Family owned and operated Sea Sound Motel (seasondmotelobx.com) is a short walk from the ocean-side beach. The budget-friendly motel has a swimming pool and offers standard rooms and efficiencies with kitchens and dining areas. Wi-Fi and cable TV are standard. Single rooms at the Salvo Inn (salvoinnmotel.com), three miles south of Rodanthe in Kinnakeet, have one or two beds, microwave ovens and mini-fridges. Efficiencies have kitchenettes, and two- and three-bedroom cottages offer full kitchens, dining areas and separate bedrooms. Salvo Inn is on the ocean side of Highway 12.
Waves Village (wavesvillage.com) caters to expert and beginner water sports enthusiasts at a family friendly resort on the Pamlico Sound side. The resort offers surf, paddleboard, hang gliding and kiteboarding lessons and arranges kayak tours for all skill levels. Accommodations in 1,600-square foot, three-bedroom, three-bath units have great rooms -- some with vaulted ceilings -- beach decor and ocean or sound views. Standard features include free Wi-Fi, DVD players and multiple TV sets. The on-site Good Winds Seafood & Wine Bar serves local seafood, beer and wine.

Does this mean that every tube map in the capital is now wrong and needs updating?
More importantly, perhaps, does it mean that Rotherhithe station is no longer served by the underground network?
Yes DG, the map on the right poster has a "381" where the ELP was, and the line is white with a black outline (NR style) rather than stripey yellow.
The second point's debatable - tube tickets are being accepted on the 381 and it says there's an "enhanced" service, but the lack of yellow on the map may be damning.
Ha, yes, I wondered how long that one would last. But damn — I had been planning to go and use it just for the hell of it (I live about 5 minutes walk from both stations) and ask the driver if anyone actually used it.
Maybe they could put the money saved towards a north entrance to Canada Water, to make it easier to get there through the housing estate?
The prog rock reference is Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Check out their version of Fanfare For the Common Man , probably one of the most famous prog rock track ever made.


What can we do for you? Glad you asked. Few things create as much impact on your space as making a change to the walls. They are the largest element in the room, afterall. Many times a fresh color in the bedroom, family room, or office is all it takes to spark your creativity. Introducing new artwork into the space achieves a similar result. Whether you are working with the wall color or the artwork on the walls First Floor Chicago is here for you.

Desertification of Sahara and Gobi desert
It is estimated that warm deserts form about one fifth of the land surface of the world." (Thefreedictionary.com, 2010) There are many deserts worldwide from South America trough Africa to Asia, deserts differ from region to region some are sandy and very hot and some are rocky or covered by ice and snow. Desert is characterized by very dry land and big temperature differences between the day and night. Desertification is due to the land degradation in the semi- arid and arid areas caused by human beings and climatic changes.
Climate changes in Canada. What consequences derive from the climate change in Canada and what actions are taken part as a result?
However, over the past two decades, the climate temperature has been increasing at an uncontrollable speed. This has become a matter of concern and urgently demands global attention including Canada. Climate change is measured by several different factors: changes in temperature, wind, snow cover, and precipitation. If there is a long-term shift in them, then it is most likely to be a change in climate. There are a couple different theories regarding the cause of the climate change. The most commonly known theory states that warmer temperatures are a result of urbanization and burning fossil fuels, leading to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Food aid: case study
Pasture conditions are excellent and no major outbreaks of crop pests have been reported. Crop conditions in Nigeria and other countries in the sub-region also appear to be favorable; therefore, added pressures on Niger food stocks will be minimal and this indicates that the current situation of food supply in Niger is improving. Niger appears to be on the path to a fourth consecutive good annual harvest. This may be the first time in modern history that Niger has enjoyed four good annual harvests in a row.

Latin America - history, politics, immigration and literature.
But later explores found that it was not the coast of Asia. Explorers got a different impression, which was accepted by others. During the first decade of the century the only secure Spanish settlement in the new world was Santo Domingo, on the island of Hispaniola. A consistently stable settlement was not achieved in continental America until 1510. Then the speed of Spanish expansion grew over a vast region, which was astonishing. By 1515, with the conquest of Cuba and the finding of Havana, the islands of the Caribbean are under Spanish control.
Geo IA Globolisation
As time has passed globalisation has become increasingly intergraded due to the growth in international trade, the growth of transnational corporations, international economic agreements, trading blocs and global movement of capital. Globalisation as a whole keeps becoming more and more intergraded since 1945 due to the advantages in technology which have reduced the cost of transport, communications and information, as well as the governments increasing trade policies with free trade policies. To prove the globalisation of food in stores around Stockholm, my group has chosen three different areas in Stockholm, Sweden in which we examined different categories of food products/drinks (most important cultural trait)

Further away from the mouth, the river will have a steeper gradient, which means water will have a greater velocity due to Newton's law of gravity. * Aim 2: To see where the water flows will be faster. * Hypothesis 2.1: The velocity will be faster before a meander * Justification 2.2: Happens because the river water slows down with the curve and the friction caused by it in the outer edge of the river, we can see this in the theory sustaining the water velocities in a meander (see fig 2.1)
The mountain regions have a nice summer temperature of an average of 21�C, and cool winter temperatures with minimums that usually do not go lower than 4�C and they are considered the best regions to live in the Arabic Peninsula. The temperatures in Tihamah (located on the western coast of Yemen) usually are greater than 54�C, because the clime in Tihamah is tropical. Average annual rainfall is 127mm. As you can see in the climate graph of Aden the average temperature is 25�C in January and 32�C in June, but the highs do not often exceed 35�C.

Also recycling, reduce the food wastage and the amount of energy used by the school. Kings college is a secondary school with students aged 11- 18, it is located in the south east of England in Guildford, surrey. It is located in the centre of a big council estate of Park Barn. It location is approximately 30 miles from the capital London. It is located about 10 minute walk to Guildford train station directly on the main line to waterloo. Aim: 'Kings College promotes a culture of environmental sustainability and as such can be described as a sustainable school'.
Richmond Shopping Field Study
Background Theories Shopping Centres and stores themselves can be placed into a hierarchy based on their centrality and the services they provide. At the pinnacle of the hierarchy are stores containing comparison goods which are goods that are regarded as luxuries and a customer will probably visit numerous stores to compare the prices and these items are typically more expensive such as furniture and electronics and are not purchased as frequently but, have a higher threshold requirement and range. The base of the pyramid is made up of small shops selling convenience goods which are items that are bought almost daily6 (Please refer to Figure 1).

The capital city of Kenya, Nairobi (see Map One), is a primate city with a population of 2,845,400(a). There are six major shanty areas in Nairobi- Mathare, Kibera, Mukuru, Kangemi, Huruma and Kawangware. See Map 2. In total, there are about 2,378,000 people living in slums, which mean that 84% of the population of Nairobi lives in slums. See Figure 2. a2 a3 >>Looking at these two photos, one would not believe that only 16% of Nairobi's population live in the developed, clean part of the city while the rest clutter in shanty settlements.
Globalization Case Study
Global tourism is also promoted by these corporations, in which mass immigration, both temporal and permanent is occurring world wide, in which the new groups of people are bringing their culture to their new country. Globalization is not a current trend. It started 500 years ago with European colonisation, such as France`s colonization of Haiti in the Caribbean. Haiti is an excellent example of a nation that has and is experiencing globalization at its worst because it has a select few staying wealthy while the masses are staying impoverished and oppressed.
Tourism Case Study
Among Egypt's most important industries one stands alone, and that is tourism. Tourism represents 11.3% of Egypt's GDP. This industry indirectly and directly employs 2.5 million people. The all defining benefit from this tourism, as well as what helps to sustain it, is the stimulus it has lent onto infrastructure. 3.3 billion dollars were invested in roads, as seen in image 2, electricity, water, sanitation, and airports through this tourism. Tourism is vital for the economy, and the hot spot for Egypt's tourism is nowhere else than in its capital, Cairo.
Geography Field Study - Delineating the CBD Antwerp
The height of buildings will decline with distance from the CBD V. The price of car parking will decrease with distance from the CBD VI. The distributional pattern of Antwerp's top hotels will be regular 4. Justification for our hypothesis: Reasoning for our hypotheses is based on a variety of urban theories, notably Burgess and his Concentric Ring Model, neo-classical theories and other more recent theories about the location and characteristics of the CBD Burgess assumed that cities contained a variety of clearly defined socio-economic areas; therefore the CBD could be clearly outlined.
Case study on Aral Sea
The Biophysical Environment "The area around Aral sea consists of dry, flat plain with few rivers. Aral Sea is situated in the middle of the Asian land. So the area around it experience hot, dry climates which have the land similar to that of a desert or steppe grassland. The Average annual precipitation rarely exceeds 150mm per year. The range between the minimum and maximum temperature is a huge difference. The maximum temperature is 47 degree centigrade in the summer and in the winter it falls to -20 degrees centigrade. The air around the Aral sea is very dry.

Some common terms of globalization are: internationalization, universalization, westernization or modernization, liberalization, deterritorialization. Some definitions are: Universalization - process of spreading various objects and experiences at all corners of the earth. A classic example is of this would be the spread of computing, communications, television... Liberalization - process of removing government imposed restrictions on movements between countries in order to create an 'open' borderless world economy. Westernization - Dynamics of modernity through capitalism, rationalism, industrialism, bureaucratism which is beneficial but destroys pre-existing cultures and local self-determination in the process.
Field Study Geo
With our data collected we are able to observe the land use of Richmond. Methods of Data Collection My group had spread out through the eight different areas. After consulting about how to record the information needed, we spread out to the different areas and began collecting out data. From approximately 1250- 1623 hrs we collected out data. Throughout the different times we are able to see how the time of day had played an influence on the traffic on the road and amount of pedestrians that had passed by. In each different area we had also taken pictures of the surrounding shops so that we are able to relate the different shops in
An investigation into the underlying factors affecting infiltration rates and their impacts in a green space in Brussels, Belgium
The movement of water in the basin is part of the hydrological cycle. In the drainage basin, rain falls down to the surface and is either intercepted by foliage (interception storage), runs off into the river, or infiltrates through the soil and down into the underlying geology of the catchment area, where the water seeps through as throughflow (or groundwater flow, which is water that flows under the water table). Eventually, after this input of throughflow and groundwater flow as it seeps into the ocean, water evaporates into the atmosphere. Other outputs include evaporation, dependant on the temperature of the climate, and transpiration, if vegetation is abundant in the area.
Field Study - Granville Island, Vancouver
It rests on the notion that centralization is a natural principle of order and that human settlements follow it. The theory relies on two concepts: threshold, the minimum market needed to bring about the selling of a particular good or service, and range, the maximum distance consumers are prepared to travel to acquire goods (at some point, the cost or inconvenience will outweigh the need for the good). PART B: METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION Waking up to the fresh morning breeze and wintry temperature of 2.1�C on Tuesday, February 27th, 2007, the classes arrived at Granville Island.
Study of Agricultural Systems
Several hundred thousand square miles of the Great Plains have fewer than six persons per square mile. Many have fewer than two persons per square mile. This problem is often intensified by the consolidation of farms and the difficulty of attracting modern industry to the region. As a result of such a small population in this particular area, there is a small input of labour. However, due to the USA's extremely successful economy as reflected by its high GDP (ranked 1st amongst all nations), the amount of capital is high. As well, the input of capital has always been high in the Great Plains as farming is highly mechanized.
The Effect of Changing Distance From Toronto's Central Business District on Parking Prices.
The characteristic of decreasing building height is relevant because at the core of the CBD, competition for land results in higher rent prices and businesses must therefore be more productive by maximizing land space (Waugh). On a limited expanse of land, the only way to do this is to build upwards, so taller buildings within the CBD will indicate a more economically prosperous area (Wakefield). Because of these immediately recognizable changes in the visual characteristics, it was decided to investigate if the spatial changes in the areas affected the financial aspects.
The Problem of Corruption in Egypt
* Petty corruption will remain a problem so long as Egypt does not have a minimum wage. Existing salaries tend to be very low, leading many individuals to solicit bribes as a way of keeping financially afloat. Corruption in Egypt * Egypt ranked 114th out of 177 in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2013, conducted by the global coalition against corruption Transparency International, which surveys the corruption levels of countries worldwide. Egypt?s rank in the 2012 report was 118, out of the 174 countries surveyed.

Hello friends, today I bring another easy and simple recipe, also gluten free and oil free. And yes of course very healthy. Many of you have requested it. My family and I enjoyed it. I hope you will love it too. You know I always try to bring you something simple and easy, something that you will make yourself at home and say, wow it was so easy!
The ingredients are cheap and available everywhere. If you don't have the flour that I have used, you can use any flour you have. Also if you can't find unrefined soya mince or chunks, you can use mushrooms, or oatmeal. Just be creative in your kitchen. This time around, I am trying to create some recipes using this soya product.
2 tbsp of nutritional yeast, optional.
Cut beetroot in small pieces, place in the blender with very little water and blend until smooth. If you have no blender, you can grate your beetroot by using a grater.
Cut a piece of parchment paper (not aluminum foil. Aluminum is not good for our health, it is better to avoid it in our kitchens), big enough to roll in your dough. Shape the dough with your hand first and place in a piece of parchment paper, roll it in gently and twist the ends.
Steam for 45 minutes in high heat. (use any steamer you have).
Let it cool before slicing. You can bake the slices if you want it crispier.
Serve with your burger bun, tomatoes and any topping of your choice. That's it. You are going to love it. God bless you. Enjoy the wonderfulness of plants-based foods.

The Contemporary History of Egypt Part II
Activism and worker actions
A large-scale activist movement emerged in Egypt in the 21st century. After first mobilizing around international issues, such as the Palestinian intifada and opposition to the Iraq war, the focus was gradually on domestic issues. From 2004, the movement named Kifaya ("Enough!") Organized demonstrations demanding Mubarak's departure and democratic reforms. The restrictions on organizational life and politics described above made activists choose to organize themselves outside the official channels. The rise of the internet, albeit limited, made it easier for activists to organize the work and to discuss relatively freely, and in combination with satellite TV and some private newspapers, broke the authorities' previously strong control over the news picture. Prominent activists from this period were also central to the planning of the first protests during the 2011 uprising.
During the same period, the number of strikes and workers' actions in Egypt also increased dramatically. Again, the authorities' control over the formal organizational life meant that they went outside the official channels and created ad hoc strike committees and eventually new and independent unions. The action increased after Mubarak appointed a new government in 2004 that accelerated the privatization of state-owned companies.
Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi meets with US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, in New York, in the fall of 2012.
The revolution in 2011
Prolonged dissatisfaction with the Mubarak regime, enhanced by inspiration from the Tunisia popular uprising that started the Arab Spring, led in January-February 2011 to mass mobilization and demands for Mubarak's departure, regime change and democratization. The uprising took place with very extensive demonstrations across Egypt from January 25, 2011, culminating in Mubarak leaving on February 11 of that year. Then began a process aimed at introducing a more democratic government, with a new constitution and political leaders elected through free elections.
The popular uprising, also referred to as a revolution, was nonviolent, based on broad mobilization for demonstrations and with demands for political reform. It was demonstrated in all major cities, with Alexandria, Suez and Cairo as major center of gravity. The largest demonstrations took place at Independence Square ( Midan Tahrir) in Cairo, where large crowds gathered and gradually took control of the area. Despite the nonviolence line, and the fact that the army was initially passive, it was the practice of violence, first and foremost by the fact that security forces sought to remove protesters, but also through crime, which was partly due to smaller police in the streets. Around 850 people were killed as a result of violence against protesters.
The rebels demanded quickly that President Mubarak and his government have to step down and that Egypt should have a democratically elected regime. Dignity, social justice and freedom from oppression were other key requirements. In an effort to regain control and retain power, Mubarak dismissed the government, and inducted former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman as vice president. At the same time, Mubarak announced that he would not stand for the next election. These measures did not meet the demands for genuine reform, and the pressure on Mubarak persisted – until Vice President Suleiman announced on February 11 that he resigned. The top council of the armed forces ( the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, SCAF), headed by Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, took over power. The council repealed the constitution and dissolved parliament, declaring that SCAF would sit in power – with Tantawi as the de facto head of state – for elections to be held. Thus, several have pointed out that it was the army that deposed Mubarak in practice, but his departure came as a direct consequence of the protests.
Ever since the 1952 revolution, the military has held a strong position in Egypt. General Mubarak took over when General Anwar al-Sadat was killed in 1981; Sadat himself had succeeded the leader of the revolution and Officer Gamal Abdel Nasser at his death in 1970. Although Mubarak had been elected civilian president, the ties to the military were tight, as was demonstrated by the transfer of power in the winter of 2011. For the popular movement fighting for a real regime change however, it was unacceptable that the military leadership still retained power.
Former President Mubarak was arrested after the revolution and charged with contributing to the killing of hundreds of protesters, but in March 2017 was acquitted and released.
Egypt after Mubarak
In principle, the resignation of President Mubarak in 2011 did not mean that all protests came to an end, and continuous demonstrations took place against the new military rulers who had assumed control pending elections. The demonstrations reflected dissatisfaction with the military regime and impatience with the pace of democratization. At the same time, there were others, including the Muslim Brotherhood, who believed that peace was needed now and who cooperated with the military transitional regime. The broad coalition behind the rebellion was thus split early. In March 2011, the authorities held a referendum on a temporary constitution that would form the basis for parliamentary and presidential elections, and this was passed by an overwhelming margin. However, the protests continued throughout the fall of 2011, and the elections took place against a troubled background.
At the election of a new national assembly in the fall of 2011, Islamist parties gained a clear majority. The Muslim Brotherhood was the biggest: Its Freedom and Justice Party ( Hizb al-hurriya wa-l-adala – FJP) won 47 percent of the seats. Second largest was the more conservative Salafist party al-Nour ("The Light") with 24.4 percent; the majority of the remaining seats went to liberal and more secularly oriented parties. At the same time, elections were held for the National Assembly's second chamber, the upper house, and here Islamist parties won nearly 90 percent of the seats. The upper house probably had very limited authority.

Losing 1,000 CFC Charities
Anyone want to kick almost 1,000 national charities out of the CFC? How about reducing the number of local charities by a third or more?
If some have their way, this is where we are headed.
The steady decline in the CFC participation rate (one in four federal employees participated in the 2011 solicitation) led some involved in the CFC-50 Commission to suggest that the government shift the burden of paying for the Campaign from the donors to the benefiting charities.
Up till now, of course, the program has followed the common workplace giving practice of withholding money from donated funds to cover costs. If those costs are, say, 10 percent of what is raised, the approach for years has been to withhold that 10 percent and pass onto the benefiting charities the remaining 90 percent.
If we switch the system and have the charities pay, the CFC would be able to state that 100 percent of a person's donation is going to the intended group or groups. It would be nice to be able to say that, and it is important that we all figure out ways to lower the cost of this program to both the government and the donors. We believe it is especially reasonable to ask those who are benefiting – the charities – to help carry the burden.
Some of those urging that charities pick up the tab, however, have added a further wrinkle. They suggest that the costs of the Campaign be covered by charging every participating charity a flat fee, a kind of "participation" fee. Every national group would be assessed one fee; every local group would be assessed another fee. The finance system that has worked for decades in the CFC, in scores of similar state and municipal campaigns, and in private sector giving programs, would be turned upside down. And, we will all be swimming in the rough waters of "unintended consequences."
We cannot be sure exactly how a flat fee system would work, but we can be sure that many charities, big and small, would walk away. Here's a simple projection of this new system in operation.
For the 2011 CFC, the almost 200 local CFC zones projected they would collectively spend $29,245,086. To make this easy on everyone, we will round to $29 million.
Let's assume that half of those costs are to be charged to national charities with the other half being left for the local groups to cover. Half is $14.5 million. (The government understandably aims to bring these costs down, but we need to start our projection somewhere.)
There were 2,536 national groups in the 2011 CFC. So, let's do the division:
Total 2011 budgeted cost:
Half of that for national and international groups:
Divide $14.5 million by 2,536 charities:
$14.5 million
$5,718 each
So far, so good. But it turns out that 682 groups in the program each raised less than $5,700 in the 2011 CFC. One can reasonably expect that groups will not be interested in a program where they must pay more than they raise. So if all 682 groups withdraw, we are left with 1,854 charities. We get to calculate again:
$14.5 million / 1,854 = $7,820
The cascade is on. With each calculation, additional charities are clearly going to withdraw.
By the time we're done, the fee is about $9,000, and almost 1,000 national and international groups are out.
Keep in mind that what is happening at the national level will also happen in every CFC zone. Thousands of local charities will walk.
Now, fewer charities will mean lower administrative costs. But, an awful lot of federal employees want to support these charities. And they may very well continue to do so – by giving directly to these charities outside the CFC. There goes that participation rate – down again.
Let us be clear: Shifting costs so that charities explicitly pick up the tab does strike us as a good idea. (We're ignoring for now the voices suggesting that there's little difference between withholding a portion of a charity's donations on the one hand and, on the other, asking the charity to write a check for a similar sum as a fee for participating in the CFC.)
But assigning costs so that they reflect how well a charity does is the system that has worked for decades. Perhaps the added wrinkle of a flat fee paid in advance could be left for another day.
What say you?

Sir Shane Dunne Paltridge KBE (11 January 1910 – 21 January 1966) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Liberal Party and served in the Menzies Government as Minister for Shipping and Transport (1955–1960), Civil Aviation (1956–1964), and Defence (1964–1966). He was a Senator for Western Australia from 1951 until his death in 1966. Prior to entering politics he worked as a bank clerk, hotel manager and soldier.

Early life
Paltridge was born on 11 January 1910 in Leederville, Western Australia. He was the son of Florence Marjory (née Thomas) and Archer Dunn Paltridge. His father worked as a banker and the family lived for periods in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales. He attended primary school in Moora, Western Australia, Ipswich, Queensland, and Enmore, New South Wales, before completing his education to the age of 16 with an Intermediate Certificate from Fort Street Boys' High School in Sydney.

In 1927 Paltridge began working for the National Bank of Australasia (NBA) in Sydney. His parents separated the following year and he returned to Perth with his mother and sister, living at the Broken Hill Hotel in Victoria Park that was managed by his uncle by marriage. Paltridge continued to work for the NBA until 1936, when he took over as manager and licensee of the hotel, a "large and busy working man's pub". His aunt had inherited the lease in 1931 following her husband's death.

Paltridge enlisteded the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in February 1940, but failed flying training. He was subsequently assigned as a stores clerk, but was discharged in December 1941 and joined the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in February 1942. He saw overseas service as a gunner in the 2/7th Field Regiment, sailing to Morotai in April 1945 and serving in the Battle of Tarakan the following month. Paltridge returned to Australia in September 1945 following his mother's death. He subsequently resumed his management of the hotel.

Politics
Paltridge became a member of the Liberal and Country League of Western Australia (the Western Australian Branch of the Liberal Party of Australia) in 1946.  In 1951 he was elected to the Australian Senate.  He became Minister for Shipping and Transport (1955–60) and Minister for Civil Aviation (1956–64) under Prime Minister Robert Menzies.  In April 1964, he became Minister for Defence, during the early period of Australia's participation in the Vietnam War. Although he recommended against the immediate introduction of conscription in 1964, Cabinet decided to introduce it anyway.

Illness and death
Paltridge became gravely ill with cancer in late 1965.  He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire on 1 January 1966 and died at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital on 21 January 1966, having resigned as Minister for Defence two days earlier.

Personal life
Paltridge married Molly McEncroe on 21 January 1947, with whom he had two daughters. Mary, one of his daughters, was the first wife of the Labor politician Kim Beazley.
