Namibian Police Commissioner Siggi Eimbeck confirmed yesterday that the matter had been reported to the police. Eimbeck further said a suspect was being held and that investigations were continuing. The Namibian learned that two soldiers, Bernatitus Tjombua and Johannes Shihepo, got involved in an argument. According to information that reached The Namibian, the soldiers picked up their rifles and started shooting at each other. It was alleged that Tjombua was fatally wounded in the shooting.

  • Learning from the Netherlands to Improve Outcomes for New Zealand's Children
    1000 Days to get it right for every child The Netherlands Study Learning from the Netherlands to improve outcomes for New Zealand’s children A report prepared by Rowe Davies Research for Every Child Counts He Mana tō ia Tamati - Every Child Counts He Mana tō ia Tamati - Every Child Counts, formed in 2004, is and coalition of organisations and individuals; led by Barnardos, Plunket, Save the Children, Unicef and Te Kahui Mana Ririki. We believe that a positive, economically sustainable future for New Zealand is only possible if: Children are placed at the centre of government policy and planning Child poverty is eradicated Child maltreatment is reduced Every child is given a good start in their early years The status of children and of the child-rearing roles of fami- lies, whānau, hapū and iwi are increased. 1000 days to get it right for every child The first 1000 days of a child’s life are critical to their long term de- velopment. One thousand days is also approximately the duration of one term of parliament. So we have about 1000 days to get it right. Getting it right in those first 1000 days means today’s young chil- dren are given every opportunity to develop their full potential as healthy, emotionally mature, socially engaged and well-educated, productive adults. Low and ineffective public investment in the early years of child- hood costs us dearly – approximately 3 per cent of GDP. Things need to change. That’s why we are campaigning to make it a priority issue through the 1000 days of this term of parliament.

Although victory had eluded him on his previous ten attempts, Kuiper still regarded the Queen of the Classics as ‘his’ race. Paris-Roubaix, or the Hell of the North as it is also known, featured all the competitive ingredients he loved: an ordeal that only a rider with unimaginable perseverance and equally unimaginable willpower could withstand. The distance alone – between 255 and 265 kilometres as a rule – is enough to separate the men from the boys before the starting gun has even sounded. And the course itself, around 60 kilometres of which runs over ruthless stretches of cobbles, wears the riders down. The ride from Paris to Roubaix is a journey into pain. Rattling over those bald lumps of stone is hell on the joints. Your wrists, backside, and of course your legs are tested to breaking point. The weather often plays a decisive role, especially when the heavens open and mud from the sodden fields seeps onto the road. Road spatters leave many a rider peering out from behind a clay mask, as they slip, slide, tumble, get back up again, and doggedly give chase.

During those years we undertook many adventures, including the first overseas tour he led – a 1980 journey from the Normandy D-Day beaches to the Rhine River. I persuaded Steve to take that first tour, but thereafter he fell in love with helping others experience this epic story and wanted to go back as often as Hope he could. Drawing on Steve’s knowledge of the subject, I worked with our mutual friend, Peter McLean, and put together the tour operations. Subsequently, we ran tours almost every other year for some 20 years, including one in 1994 commemorating the 50th anniversary of D-Day. It was during those years, as I served as a Dean and Vice Chancellor at UNO, that Steve and I established the Eisenhower Center for American Studies, which facilitated his collecting more than 600 oral histories from D-Day veterans.

    Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo.

The low-lying tidal basins, formerly used for salt production, are now permanently open to tidal action. Large wetlands have emerged and gradually a new landscape will begin to take shape that will not necessarily resemble the original marshes of the Bay’s natural history. It will be a constructed landscape. The levees that protected the former salt flats followed a functional geometry in contrast to the evolving landscape that will become vegetated by successive plant communities and filled with birds and wildlife in a not entirely predictable fashion. Similarly, the Dutch polder (grazing land that is situated below sea level) has been converted to permanently flooded wetlands, and some of these wetlands are now 30 years old. In fall 2005, the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina occurred in the Mississippi Delta and gave the study tour additional impetus. During that fall semester, faculty in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning decided to concentrate efforts on the California Delta, which is formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. We invited Jane Wolff of Washington University dep A rtment of la ndsc A pe A rchitecture A nd environment al p la nning a stuDy tour of the netherLanDs in Saint Louis to UC Berkeley as the Visiting Farrand condition of levees in the California Delta, students and Professor, to offer a design studio that would focus faculty in Jane Wolff’s design studio questioned the on the California Delta.

    SCANDINAVIA: ENCIRCLING THE BALTIC 6 credits May 17 - June 11, 2020 Leslie Van Duzer “It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves. There is none such. It is in the bog in our brains and bowels, the primitive vigour of Nature in us, that inspires that dream.” – Henry David Thoreau Course description This trip will take us to four countries encircling the Baltic Sea—Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark—each with a distinct culture influenced by its unique landscape. From the lakes and forests in Finland and Estonia, to the Swedish archipelago and the cultivated fields of Denmark, we will study the unusually close relationship between nature and design in Scandinavia. Traveling from east to west, we will study how vernacular buildings, with their intimate relationship to the landscape, have informed the urbane architecture in the capitals. We will tour work by many architects, including, but not limited to: Aalto, Saarinen, Pallasmaa, Siren, Välikangas, Holl, Leiviska, Pietilä, Bryggman, Pitkänen, Sanaksenaho, Celsing, Asplund, Lewerentz, Östberg, Moneo, Jacobsen, Schmidt, Hammer + Lassen, Vandkunsten Architects, Libeskind, Bindesbøll, BIG, Utzon.
