Reports on the World Climate Summit Marrakech October 29 to November 9, 2001 With the Bonn Declaration the climate summit of The Hague (COP-6) was brought to a positive end after difficult negotiations in Bonn in July 2001. This was a statement of the political will to pursue the negotiations and to take action against climate change. Climate change is not something which might happen some time in a distant future but that is already in full swing. Scientists agree that even if immediate drastic action is taken now on a world-wide basis the effects of the change could not be stopped or even levelled out before the end of the century. On October 29, 2001 the Seventh Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-7) started in the ancient Moroccan city of Marrakech. Its main task was considered to be to tidy up the many technical details that the Bonn Agreement had left open and which are still in the way of a possible ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by a sufficient number of countries. The first few days of the conference proved quickly that nothing is as easy as it appears. A number of countries, among them Japan, Russia, Australia and Canada, all members of the so called “Umbrella Group” which accepted the Bonn Agreement only with the greatest reluctance, have been trying to re-negotiate the agreement and to further water it down.

The South African Military History Society Die Suid-Afrikaanse Krygshistoriese Vereeniging Military History Journal - Vol 6 No 5 Col A W Durnford by S.Bourquin From his service in South Africa over a broken period of eight years, the impression which emerges of Anthony William Durnford is that of a colourful, yet controversial figure. Loved and esteemed by many, grossly maligned by others, his life-story reveals an intriguing mixture of happiness and sadness, of success and misfortune, of heroism and tragedy. He once described himself as 'the best hated man in Natal'; but whereas some might curse and revile him, his personal attributes, his integrity and character remained unassailable. The historian Froude said of him: 'I have rarely met a man who, at first sight, made a more pleasing impression upon me. He was more than I expected . . . He has done the State good service. He alone did his duty when others forgot theirs'. Durnford came from an illustrious military family which had sent generations of its sons into the service. He was born on 24 May 1830, at Manor Hamilton, Ireland, the eldest son of Gen E.W. Dumford, Colonel Commandant, Royal Engineers. He had a younger brother, Edward, who became a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Marine Artillery. Although he received some schooling in Ireland, he was educated mainly at Dusseldorf in Germany, where he stayed with his mater- nal uncle, J.T. Langley. On his return to England Durnford entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and in 1848 obtained a commission as a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. In October 1851, he embarked for Ceylon which was to become his home for the next five years. Stationed at Trincomalee, he gave so much assistance to Admiral Sir F Pellew in regard to the defences of the harbour that his services rendered were brought to the notice of the Master-General of the Ordnance by the Lords of the Admiralty. Two years after his arrival he was instrumental in saving the harbour defence installations from destruction by fire. In addition to his military duties he was subsequently encumbered with certain civil duties, being appointed Assistant Commissioner of Roads and Civil Engineer to the Colony.

all links updated 13.12.98 This list includes links to websites made by Nigerians, on Nigeria and on Nigerians. I'm collecting this link list mainly because of my own interest. Still I hope it finds some other users too. One target group I hope find this list useful are people like me: those who want to know the country, maybe visit it. Also I hope the Nigerian children and other Nigerians in diaspora could use this to stay in contact with their homeland. As I am studying media studies, I have included some links to pages that have material I don't quite agree with. This is for the purpose to not only know about Nigeria but also to study the image Nigeria has in the net. So please bear in mind that some pages tell more about their author than about their topic. Note that I use the Finnish system in dates: dd.mm.yy. For example 1.3.99 means first of march. Send your suggestions and comments to rkorpela@levi.urova.fi . Thank you for visiting.

The groups are organized for young married couples, singles, divorced or widowed people, couples in their 40s, and single mothers with children, Christian Chronicle magazine said. The church considers prayer to be vital. Leaders encircle the baptistry before services and pray for people to come, become Christians, and be baptized. A 15-minute prayer during each service mentions the needs of the congregation, including those that are written on cards and submitted to the pastor. Members say they try to show love to newcomers in every way possible. Preaching deals with sin and is never watered-down, the church says.
