username_0: update ffog url (API file should be live soon)
<issue_comment>username_1: I get a 404 with the new URL
<issue_comment>username_2: There was an error with the automatic Deployment on the Webserver the File is live now.

Freifunk Ortenau is still quite active, there are regular Meetings in the Section77 Hackerspace in Offenburg new Nodes are seen quite regularly.

However, the firmware and backbone of Freifunk Karlsruhe is used.
<issue_comment>username_0: URL is fixed (and checks are going through) -> could be merged I think.

Thanks!
<issue_comment>username_3: LGTM, can be merged.
<issue_comment>username_1: done in #602THIS week something momentous happened for the future of the Britain, its economy and politics, for Europe, and for our relationship with the Continent. The European Union proposed and agreed a curb on bankers bonuses, over-riding the predictable opposition of the UK government and Chancellor outcry from the British Bankers Association, CBI and others: people who go by the description “the business community” but are actually corporate lobbyists for the big firms looking to maintain the same market dominance for their members.
The City of London we are told is integral to “UK plc”, with its vital statistics continually rolled off. Financial services it is claimed contribute 9.6 of UK output, 12 per cent of tax revenue, and 1.1 million jobs. However, the financial sector has cost taxpayers near to £1 trillion pounds post-crash; and the number of bankers who would be potentially affected by the Euro legislation is a mere 5,000 – 0.5 per cent a determinist view of the world.
It just happens not to be true on any level. This is a story about what Anglo-American corporate capitalism has collapsed into: amoral, venal, short-term, about naked power and self-aggrandisement.
The era of New Labour and David entities “the first nation of capitalism”, meant that its aristocratic and landed classes, who made their money by fair means and foul in pre-industrial times, didn’t like the idea of real work, getting their hands dirty, and being part of the industrial classes.
Thus Britain historically has always had an establishment who are profoundly anti-industrial, and value much more making money “real” economy
This is “Britain plc”, “the. Last Sunday the country held a national referendum which became known as “the fat cat initiative”, on the subject of restricting director pay, curbing golden handshakes and severance packages, which produced a 68 per cent vote in favour of the proposals.
Change is going to require a very different British politics. For a start, the progressive pessimists who conflate short-term bailouts with long-term demographics, sometimes deliberately, sometimes not, and come to the analysis that “we are all doomed” and cannot afford existing public services, have to be challenged.
Then there is the problem of the Treasury and Bank of England, who disastrouslyFor Darwin Day, I’m sharing my favourite science book. Last Chance to See is the best thing Douglas Adams ever wrote – with Mark Carwardine. It’s connected to – but not the same as – the radio series of the same name that Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine made for BBC Radio 4.
The idea was that Douglas Adams would travel the world with Mark Carwardine looking for species on the verge of extinction. Douglas would be bewildered by the wildlife and Mark would explain to Douglas what he was looking at. It would have been easy to write this book badly. However between them, Adams and Carwardine manage to balance the tragedy of the species that are one storm away from being wiped out, and the absurdity of a world that makes this happen.
The journey starts with the aye-aye of Madagascar and takes in New Zealand, Indonesia, China and Mauritius and Zaire. Not only is Douglas Adams bemused by the wildlife, but also by the people who either try to preserve it or, more often, get in the way of it.
We finally made it to Rodrigues, a small island dependency of Mauritius, to look for the world’s rarest fruitbat, but first of all we went to look at something that Wendy Strahm was very keen for us to see – so much so that she rearranged her regular Rodrigues-visiting schedule to take us there herself.
By the side of a hot and dusty road there was a single small bushy tree that looked as if it had been put in a concentration camp.
The plant was a kind of wild coffee called Ramus mania, and it had been believed to be totally extinct. Then, in 1981, a teacher from Mauritius called Raymond Aquis was teaching at a school in Rodrigues and gave his class pictures of about ten plants that were thought to be extinct on Mauritius.
At first it was hard to believe, but they took a branch of it and sent it to Kew where it was identified. It was wild coffee.
The plant was standing by the side of the road, right by the traffic and in considerable danger because any plant in Rodrigues is considered fair game for firewood. So they put a fence round it to stop it being cut down.
Immediately they did this, however, people started thinking, ‘Aha, this is a special plant,’ and they climbed over the fence and started to take off little branches and leaves and pieces of bark. Because the tree was obviously special, everybody wanted a piece of it and started to ascribe remarkable properties to it – it would cure hangovers and gonorrhoea. Since not much goes on in Rodrigues other than home entertainments it quickly became a very sought-after plant, and it was rapidly being killed by having bits cut off it.
The first fence was soon rendered useless and a barbed wire fence was put around that. Then another barbed wire fence had to be put around the first barbed wire fence, and then a third barbed wire fence had to be put around the second till the whole compound covered a half acre. Then a guard was installed to watch the plant as well.
With cuttings from this one plant Kew Gardens is currently trying to root and cultivate two new plants, in the hope that it might then be possible to reintroduce them into the wild. Until they succeed, this single plant standing within its barbed wire barricades will be the only representative of its species on earth, and it will continue to need protecting from everyone who is prepared to kill it in order to have a small piece. It’s easy to think that as a result of the extinction of the dodo we are now sadder and wiser, but there’s a lot of evidence to suggest that we are merely sadder and better informed.
More recently it’s been remade as a television series with Stephen Fry replacing Douglas Adams. You might be able to catch it on Netflix, and if not there are clips on YouTube. Sadly though you won’t see the Yangtze River Dolphin in the remake, the book really was the last chance to see.

When St. Luke’s International Hospital,, St. Luke’s at St. Luke’s until I was about 37 weeks pregnant.
Then came the day in which we got a big shock: when we went to book our room at St. Luke’s, we were told the price before government assistance after birth would be 1200000 yen (over $10,000 USD). It seemed the nurse who I talked to when I first chose St. Luke’s made a serious error in her English. We were speechless, and after leaving the appointment decided immediately that we needed to transfer to a different hospital. Over the next day and a half we were on an incredibly stressful and difficult mission to change hospitals.
One choice was to go to Toshima Hospital, but). Toshima Hospital’s staff also said that my husband would have to be fluent in Japanese in order to be in the room during labor and delivery (which he’s not). The positive side of Toshima Hospital choose Toshima. (Note: Had we chosen Toshima to begin with, the conditions given may not have been the case, and they may have also allowed us to use a telephone translation service like Himawari. Either way, it was important to me to be able to communicate with relative ease in English throughout my pregnancy, so it is unlikely we ever would have chosen Toshima Hospital.)
Another choice we were given was to go to St. Luke’s Birth Clinic, which is connected to the hospital, but significantly cheaper. However, we were warned that 1 out of 3 women are transferred to the International Aiiku Aiiku Hospital was positive. In my next post, I’ll be writing more about my experience with Aiiku in general, but for now I wanted to provide an infographic that compares some basic
