The aim is to move a person from point A to point B, often over some kind of obstruction, such as a ravine, piece of water, rough ground or similar. The 'rider' will go to the start point, is secured into the seat and then lets the pulley slide down the course of the runway until it reaches its finish point, where the 'rider' dismounts. </span></div>

If the intended users construct the runway it will require knowledge of pioneering skills, rope work, teamwork and physical dexterity. The use of the runway provides an exciting activity for young people and adults alike, and has a similar thrill factor to those experienced at theme park rides. </div>

A slight variation on the same principles is the bosun's chair which is used to transfer people and equipment across two points that are at the same height, eg between two ships. </div>

<span style="line-height: 1.25em;">During the current visit of the regional team to Timor Leste, the team met with the </span><span style="line-height: 1.25em;">Patron of the Scout Association and President of the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste His Excellency Taur Matan Ruak at his office together with the key leaders of the national scout organization, Uniao Nacional dos Escuteiros de Timor Leste (UNE-TL) from 7th to 10th May 2013, finding ways to strengthen the ongoing partnership being undertaken to keep Scouting in the country in progression.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The President appreciated the support of the Asia-Pacific Regional Office of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and Scouts Australia, and acknowledged the efforts facilitated to improve the present Scout membership of Timor Leste (TL).</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The regional team is comprised of Scouts Australia Chief Commissioner Mr Reg Williams, National Chief Executive and APR Scouting Profile Sub-Committee Chairman Mr Richard Miller and Regional Director Mr Abdullah Rasheed, who are in Dili, capital and largest city of TL.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;"><br />Scouts Australia, with the request of the Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Committee has been partly supporting TL through the Messengers of Peace programme for further development that will empower TL to meet the criteria for WOSM membership. Since 2005, the country had established the National Scout Organization and elected group of officers, though the challenge of further adult training and establishing a national office still unresolved.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the beginning of the visit, the regional team met with the President of the Scout Association Ms Idelta Maria Rodrigues at her office and discussed the actions to be taken to strengthen Scouting in TL and establish a Scout office, which is currently operating in Becora, Dili. Joining the discussion were Chief Commissioner Mr. Mateus Maya de Jesus, International Commissioner Ms. Filomena Barros dos Reis, Chief Executive Mr. Isolino Vas de Alegria S.G Amaral and Adult Resources Commissioner Mr. Angelino Melo da Acosta.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 1.25em;">The regional team joined the Deputy Minister of Education in inaugurating the community project done by Scouts Australia with the help of a number of Australian partners led by the Chairman of the Rover Council of Scouts Australia Ms. Nicole Strachan who have put up the toilet block in a local school also in Dili.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">Recently, a group of adult leaders underwent specific training and formed a national training team. Among the main discussions tackled were the need for a full-time staff to handle day-to-day office work; need for free hold land for the national Scout training centre; need to complete the annual census and annual reporting. On the possibility of acquiring land for the training centre, the team made an ocular visit to a one hectare of land in Metinaro, accompanied by the Vice-President of the association Mr Carlos, which is about 25 km outside Dili -- considered a suitable land for future Scout training centre.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For this week’s hidden costs video, we’re trying out a new approach. Instead of grading the impact of light pollution, our video team took to Seattle’s streets to capture the brilliance (and the tyranny) of our city’s night lights.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The globe has never been so electrified. Today, most of Europe, the United States and all of Japan appear as solid blocks of light in satellite photos. Meanwhile, the stars have been all but extinguished from our night skies. The Earth is now readily visible from space, but space is no longer visible from Earth.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The starscapes we do see today are a far and faint cry from those that the rest of humankind gazed up to for centuries. This is why the broad bright strokes of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” feel so carnivalesque. And it’s why the term “Milky Way” doesn’t make much sense to us anymore.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">But light pollution can also be a hazard to our health. Just about every organism on the planet lives its life according to the rhythms of daytime and darkness. Excessive light can disrupt an animal’s migratory, hunting, breeding and sleep cycles. And several human health problems — from chronic fatigue and migraines to sexual dysfunction — have also been linked to high-levels of light exposure.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Light pollution’s most talked-about animal victims include </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/nyregion/making-new-yorks-glass-buildings-safer-for-birds.html?_r=2&hp&" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #c2312c; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">migratory birds</a><span style="background-color: white;"> and sea turtles. Migrating birds often lose their flight paths once disoriented by far off lights or, more dangerously, misread skies and begin annual migrations too early in the year. Artificial light disorients </span><a href="http://www.conserveturtles.org/seaturtleinformation.php?page=lighting" style="-webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out; border: 0px; color: #c2312c; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">sea turtle hatchlings</a><span style="background-color: white;"> as they make their journeys into the ocean. Normally, hatchlings follow shadows cast by sand dunes, but they can’t follow these natural watermarks when the moon’s light is diffused by the bright lights of a nearby beach town.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">So, what can we do to reclaim the darkness? Minimize your own light waste by opting for low wattage bulbs whenever possible and be sure to keep your lights off when you don’t need them. If you’re interested in learning more about the effects of light pollution or want to get involved with current efforts to curb them, the </span><a href="http://www.darksky.org/">International Dark-Sky Association</a><span style="background-color: white;"> is a great place to start.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.25em; text-align: justify;">Scott Teare is the new Secretary General of World Scouting, taking over from Luc Panissod in the New Year. Scott has been serving World Scouting for several decades although in different capacities before taking up this top job.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="article-attribute" style="line-height: 14px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 12px;">
<div class="attribute-short">
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scott was awarded the Bronze Wolf by the World Scout Committee in September 2012 particularly for his contribution to international and World Scouting in his former role as the Director of the International Division of Boy Scouts of America. He contributed significantly to putting in place and effecting the Boy Scouts of America's international policy. As part of that role, he established diplomatic contacts, maintained relations and represented Boy Scouts of America with American businesses operating abroad, foreign embassies, key government leaders, heads of states and royal family members in an effort to provide sustained financial support and membership growth for World Scouting.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scott takes up his new role at a crucial time for the World Scout Bureau, which is going through significant changes in its current management and relocation processes.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">INTERVIEW:</span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="attribute-long">
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">How do you feel having been selected as the new Secretary General of the World Organization of the Scout Movement?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">Wow! What an honor. Absolutely thrilled and honored.</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">Can you tell us about what inspired you to apply for the position of the Secretary General?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">First of all, Scouting has been my professional career since graduating from the university. I have worked in many different positions prior to having been named the International Director for the Boy Scouts of America. All have been rewarding and I always felt I made a significant contribution.</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In April 2012 I was approached by some friends I truly respect and they asked if I would apply for the position of Secretary General. After thinking about this prospect for a few days, it became clear that I had actually prepared my entire career for this challenge. It was never my intention to pursue this position as a part of my career path, but sometimes things just seem to fall into place.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I applied, interviewed, and now I am on board.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">You have a vast experience in Scouting, not only at the USA level, but also at the Interamerica and World levels. Can you tell us a little about your experiences and learning from various volunteer and professional capacities that you have so far served in Scouting?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">I cannot help but think about the professional/volunteer relationships that have evolved over my years as a professional Scouter. It is almost an impossible phenomenon to explain. The relationship with volunteers is a partnership of sorts… each of us with a defined role to fulfil, and yet working together as a team to do the best we can possibly do. It is those shared experiences that have led me to where I am today.</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must also mention that I am so very grateful to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) for allowing me to serve world Scouting these past dozen+ years of my career. I may have been an employee of the BSA, but I was encouraged and challenged to work in order to support Scouting in all corners of the globe.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">Can you tell us a little about yourself, Scott Teare, the person?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">Let’s start with this: My name is Scott Teare and I am a Messenger of Peace!</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I joined the Cub Scouts at the age of eight. I remember sitting in the back of the school bus with my buddies learning the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack. At that particular moment in time, the center of the entire Scouting universe was right there in my little neighborhood where I sat with my best friends. Who could ever have guessed that joining the Cub Scouts would lead me to a lifetime of friendships that would eventually span the globe?</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I look back at my early Scouting days, it was the friends that I made in Scouting that I kept in touch with in my later, adult years. Yes, I suppose my high school and university friends were important, but it was my Scouting friends that remained as my adult friends in later life.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My parents were very supportive of my Scouting activities. They encouraged me through their personal example to lose myself in service to others. We were not a wealthy family, but my parents did without many things to assist others in need. It is that act of helping others that defines the man I became. Those that know me best understand my passion to help young people.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few people know that I had also considered joining the ministry. When my dad informed the pastor of our parish that I had selected a career in Scouting over the church, our pastor clapped his hands together and explained, “The church has won!” I never looked back.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently had a good friend “go home” by the name of Zig Zigler. Zig was a motivational speaker and author. He once told me that a child today spells “love” “t-i-m-e.” I can think of no greater gift a Scout leader can give to a child than time. It is what sets us apart from so many others in our far too often, fast-paced world. “Time” is a precious gift to give a young person today.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">These are changing times in World Scouting and there are lots of new developments with the World Scout Bureau. Under the circumstances, what kind of challenges, risks and opportunities do you anticipate in your new role?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">There are resolutions from the World Scout Conference that give direction to the World Scout Committee that challenge us to do better things in a wide-range of areas. Society changes. People change. The way we work changes. The very face of Scouting has changed. If the World Scout Bureau (WSB) – and this includes the Central Office and our six Regional Offices – are to remain relevant in a fast-changing society… then there is a need to re-think how we operate. However, changes need to happen for the right reasons and without interruption of services.</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has become clear that we must empower our regional offices to increase their support to NSOs… to help NSOs better build capacity. To some, this may sound simple. In reality, it is quite complex and will require focused leadership. I believe the World Scout Committee and professional staff are poised to give that required leadership.</span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">People are interested to know more about what you do in your non-Scouting life, your interests and hobbies. Would you like to share some details?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">There was a time when I played a lot of golf and went skiing as often as I could. As I became more involved in International Scouting, such activity was set aside. My family will tell you I have become a workaholic. I cannot deny this. However, reading remains an enjoyable escape for me… albeit that I now use an electronic book device. Ahhhh… modern technology!</i></div>
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.25em;">What is your vision for the future of World Scouting?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="line-height: 1.25em;">That we do everything possible to reach more young people with the “magic” that Scouting brings to change lives.</i></div>

During Ramadan, Muslims perform lots of religious rituals, like reading the Quran more often, performing Taraweeh prayers every night of Ramadan after Ishaa prayer (night prayer). Also Muslims increase doing good deeds and paying charity to needy people and pay Zakat (fourth pillar of Islam) as it has double rewards during this month.</span></div>
