May 3, 2016: Over the last six months, risks to global financial stability have risen, according to the International Monetary Fund’s April 2016 Global Financial Stability Report. In advanced economies, the outlook has deteriorated because of heightened uncertainty and setbacks to growth and confidence. Disruptions to global asset markets have added to these pressures. Declines in oil and commodity prices have kept risks elevated in emerging markets, while greater uncertainty about China’s growth transition has increased spillovers to global markets. These developments tightened financial conditions, reduced risk appetite, and raised credit risks, weighing on financial stability. The situation in markets appears significantly improved, but is the turmoil of the past months now safely behind us, or is it a warning signal that more needs to be done to secure financial stability? The IMF’s April 2016 GFSR addresses this key question and many others.

In order to eliminate back pain that already bothers you or to stay away from injuries that may occur from day to day activities, it is important to keep the core strong and flexible. There is a number of exercises doctors and personal trainers advise you to do, but how about that time of the day when you are not able to attend a gym or hit the floor for some "ME" time?
There is a solution - SpinaliS chairs for active sitting. As a matter of fact that is the BEST SOLUTION because you don't have to do anything, but sit. At the first glance the SpinaliS chair looks like a well designed regular office chair, but there is a difference - a spring under its seat, which forces your body to keep itself in the balance thus working out your core muscles that in return will help you to get rid of the back pain and will improve your posture.
Check out SpinaliS Apollo Series chairs, which is an ideal choice for women or men with a smaller body type:
www.spinalis-chairs.ca/spinalis-chairs/apollo/
What the Core Does?
The area of the body, which is commonly referred to as the core, is your midsection and it involves all your muscles in that area including the front, back and sides. The core includes the traverse abdominis (TVA), erector spinae, obliques and your lower lats.
These muscles work as stabilizers for the entire body. Core training is simply doing specific exercises to develop and strengthen these stabilizer muscles.
If any of these core muscles are weakened, it could result in lower back pain or a protruding waistlines. Keeping these core muscles strong can do wonders for your posture and help give you more strength in other exercises like running, walking or sitting on a SpinaliS chair.

Apart from offering exceptional soundproofing, NUDEC®PMMA sheets, ranging from 15 mm to 20 mm, have excellent optical clarity as well as high external stability. This enables the properties of the material to remain practically unchanged after years of exposure. Another attribute is that it is 100% recyclable.
The fundamental purpose of acoustic barriers is to prevent traffic noise from polluting nearby residential areas. The sheets are generally installed around high volume traffic areas, and assist in decreasing noise travelling to built up areas. (Photo provided by www.acusttel.com/en/)
The Boar (So named for the stability handle on the front of the rifle resembling the tusks of a boar) is a 40 round belt fed machine gun. Designed for infantry use the weapon can also be fitted with a longer barrel, larger ammo drum and a swivel bipod stand to act as an AA gun.
Dieselpunk style weapon based on some of keith thompson's Iron Grip works.

The Darfur Communities Peace and Stability Fund (DCPSF) donors visited the project site areas in West Darfur region from 24th to 26th of November. The donor monitoring team visited out reached areas and held meetings with NGO consortiums and government officials.
In 2012 alone, nighty eight (98) income-generation activities were supported by DCPSF that included different groups, such as women, youth and various tribes. A total of 92 percent of sampled community members responded that trust and confidence was restored in the communities where the DCPSF projects were operating. Over 80 percent of sampled Darfuris responded that they are satisfied with reconciliation mechanisms, experiencing increased levels of peace and stability. Despite of the increasing overall intensity of conflicts and security incidents in 2012, sample survey and reports from 21 ongoing projects, 2012 indicates that the communities with the DCPSF strengthened their resilience to conflicts and enjoyed peace and stability where activities promoting early recovery could take place. More than 146,500 people have used the community-based conflict resolution mechanisms benefited directly and some 2,425,620 people benefitted indirectly in which the efforts spread to some 160 communities in 2012. DCPSF has supported 61 educational and 7 health initiatives. Forty-five (45) civil society organizations (CSOs) improved planning, conflict sensitivity and peace building activities. Through DCPSF, 25,302 children were newly enrolled in schools in Darfur and 109 water sources including boreholes, hand pumps, wells, and hafirs through consultative processes.
Despite of tough security situation and access, DCPSF has gone beyond the defined milestones by achieving 14 out of 17 milestones defined for 2012. It requires a continuation of funds for the period of time to brought back the communities to pre-conflict situation as a significant amount of anchoring are still in an intensive care. UNDP through DCPSF and its implementing partners backed by the donors, assures to set new goals, standards and achievements in the year 2014 and will ensure accountability of each penny spend from contribution of the donating countries.

After running Video Deshaker on MVI_5361, the test video I made by hanging my KAP rig from one of my trees and giving it a nice violent swing in roll, I loaded the Deshaker log file into Excel, converted X and Y pixel motion into apparent degrees of pitch and yaw, and integrated each axis to get a position vs. time value in degrees.
Next, I selected 2048 frames worth of data from the middle of the sequence and ran an FFT on all three axes. Past about 3Hz the FFT is flat: no power in the higher frequencies out to 30Hz. The really interesting stuff happens below 2Hz.
You can see that the Z axis is really moving. That's camera roll. X is next, which is yaw. My guess is this is because I wasn't photographing an infinitely distant subject, so there's some coupling of the axes. Y shows the least power across the board, and represents pitch. Again, this is more likely to be coupling because of my method than actual motion.
In any case, I went through the video frame-by-frame, measured the peak-to-peak time for the swing and the rotation, and found that Video Deshaker does a pretty good job of nailing the motion. The FFT also does a good job of picking out the period of oscillation from the Deshaker data.
I still have some more tests to do before I trust this technique 100%, but this was nice to see.
EDIT: The Z axis isn't centered around zero. That's because I used the first frame of the video to define the zero points of all three axes. So there's a pretty massive offset on Z since I started the video with the rig out at a severe angle. I need to change my analysis to use the mean axis position as the zero for each axis. Doh!

Ward underscores America’s commitment to advance security, stability and peace in Africa
By Army Sgt. Wayne Woolley
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Gen. William E. “Kip” Ward, commander of U.S. Africa Command, on Wednesday told a gathering of senior military leaders from 32 nations across the African continent that America is committed to forming and maintaining partnerships that advance security, stability and peace in Africa.
“We want to listen, we want to learn from your perspectives and we want to be a partner in collaborating to address the challenges you face,” Ward said. “You are our partners and I respect all of you.”
The senior African military leaders gathered for the inaugural African Land Forces Summit for five days of discussions about ways they can form stronger relationships among themselves and with the United States to protect borders, fight extremist groups and collaborate on humanitarian assistance and peace keeping missions.
The summit is sponsored by U.S. Army Africa, which was created last year as a service component command under USAFRICOM.
“We intend for this first African Land Forces Summit to be just the beginning of many more to come where we can gather on a regular basis to share ideas,” Ward said. “We want to ensure the programs and activities we conduct on the continent of Africa are helpful in building your military capacity in ways that support your regional and national interest.”
The best way for the United States military to do that, Ward said, is to listen and respond to the concerns of African military leaders.
“You have seen over the past few years how we do business. Not dictating to you. Not directing you,” Ward said. “But listening to you and then doing our best to do those things you have asked us to do. What you say matters. I hope this summit is proving that to you.”
