Below is a photograph of my maternal great, great aunt Martha Leona (Mattie) Roberts. She was the next to the youngest sister of my great grandfather John Taylor Roberts. This is one of the many family photographs that I scanned from my grandmother Leona's desk at my mom's house when I was visiting this past March. This aunt is my grandmother Leona's namesake. Mattie Roberts was born during the Civil War on January 00, 0000, in Berrien County, Georgia [0, 0]. Her parents were William and Margaret (DeVane) Roberts. She married Colquitt Strickland (0000-0000) in Berrien County on January 00, 0000 . Below is a copy of their marriage license on page 000 of the Berrien County marriage book available on Georgia's Virtual Vault. Mattie and Colquitt had three children: Charles, William, and Luelle . Around the time that the 0000 census was taken, Mattie died on August 00, 0000, at the age of 00 . At the time of Mattie's death, her children were 00, 00, and 0 years old . I noticed on the 0000 census that Mattie's sister Beulah (Margaret) Roberts was living with them (See census record below starting at line 00. Click to enlarge). I figured she must have been there to take care of her sister Mattie and help with the household and the children. I also figured that Colquitt married again after Mattie died. I was right. He married Beulah . While I was scrolling though the Strickland burials on the Sunset Hill Cemetery interactive map, I noticed "INF. DTR STRICKLAND." According to the description, the marker says "Infant Daughter of C. and M. L. Strickland." There is also a link to the photograph of the marker. There are no birth and death dates. This indicates that Mattie and Colquitt had at least four children instead of three. On the 0000 census, Mattie is recorded has having had three children and all three were living (See census record above). Did this child die when Mattie died? I don't have a copy of their death records. Martha Leona (Mattie) Roberts Strickland is buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery in Valdosta, Georgia, in Section 000, Block 00, Lot 000, Space 00. findagrave memorial for Martha Leona Roberts Strickland.

Just before Christmas I found myself in Brixton - as one does - and in wandering the streets passed by the H&M. As you might see from my photograph below, it is housed in a fine building. My immediate reaction was that that had to have been a Woolworths. My second reaction was that I knew a man who would know for certain. A couple of tweets later with @soult and he'd confirmed it (even without mentioning where I was, he knew the store and its location). Woolworths it was, and you can just about make out the position of the old fascia at the top of the building if you look carefully. On my return from Brixton, I opened my copy of Kathryn A Morrison's new book - Woolworth's; 000 years on the High Street - and on page 00 there's another shot of the Brixton store (reproduced below). It took real effort of will, and the distraction of exam marking, not to devour her book there and then. But Christmas and early January have provided the time and space to spend some pleasurable hours reading and then thinking about the book. This is not a history of Woolworths, but is rather an architectural guide to its store development. It is the story of Woolworths seen through the prism of its stores, according to the author. With access to an interesting archive, some great contemporary and modern photographs and an engaging and illuminating written commentary, this is a triumph of a book, though given the author's "previous", this should be no surprise. This book will be of interest to those - and there are many, and not all are obsessives - still fascinated by Woolworth's history in the UK. It should also be of interest to those concerned with streets and design and the ways Woolworth and others created the vista of our best modern high streets. Retail forms made ‘concrete' and built to last. I disagree with Kathryn Morrison when she says "few of these buildings can be classed as great architecture"; on the contrary I think they are often distinctive, well designed and important statements about the company, its operations and the places it operated in. The architecture, whilst "designed by obscure company architects" has many things to say to, and about, the high streets and retailers of today. A couple of other thoughts were developed by my reading, it may be a function of the archive or the approach, but the interest and the developments are very ‘front-loaded'. The recent decades of Woolies, whilst familiar in shop form, were rather functional, bland and comparatively identikit. The contrast with the heyday and the early days is marked in coverage, and I feel, tone. Secondly, it did make me reflect on the very mundaneness of our retail and its rather current sense of impermanence. We don't build shops like we used to, and that is all too obvious in our streets and retail sheds. When was the last time you saw a modern retail development that made you stand back and say "wow" (and in a nice way)? And in that transition I fear we have lost a lot of our soul and difference and have diminished places and retailing accordingly. Retailers using - or re-using - space in the way their predecessors did are few and far between. Which is a shame. This is a really fascinating book, not only on its subject matter, but in placing Woolworths in this broader context of its history and place. It is very well researched and presented (though I am not yet reconciled to seeing my home town relocated to North Wales on p00 - photo below). For anyone interested in retailing, Woolworths, architecture and places, this book is a treasure trove. Kathryn A Morrison (0000) Woolworth's: 000 years on the High Street. Historic England; Swindon. ISBN 000-0-000000-00-0. £00. Available from Historic England. This entry was posted in Architecture, Books, Buildings, High Streets, Historic Shops, Property, Public Realm, Retail History, Shopfronts, Streetscapes, Urban History, Woolworths and tagged Architecture, Buildings, Design, History, Streets, Streetscapes, Woolworths. Bookmark the permalink. I wonder why you are rummaging around in my life? Last week you blogged on flooding - got that, done that! This week we have Brixton (I was a regular visitor to Woolworth's and Bon Marche in Brixton in the late 0000s and until 0000 when my family moved from Tulse Hill to Croydon, where I remained a customer of Woolworths. Add to that, I was one of the consultants brought in by Hilco to deal with Woolworth's in administration - I ended closing ten stores around the North, East and West Yorkshire areas. Not all of these were built by Woolworth, and therefore did not demonstrate the obvious Woolworth frontage. Notwithstanding the grand façades that you have pictured, a large number of small town stores such as in Ripon and my native Marlborough were of a more standardized model. It is difficult to disguise them, and it is not unusual to walk through a town for the first time and spotting a former Woolies. Of course they are not alone, probably even more obvious architecture is delivered by the legacy of Montague Burton. These like Woolworths could be found in towns large and small right across the land and are still identifiable even where they are no longer occupied by Burton's. So where are we off to next? Forgot to give you a heads up for next time. Did you have any dealings with Albert Gubay and Kwik Save? They are next up when I have time. Sorry for stalking you! Unintentional - honestly. Also interested in your Burton comment. Ben much less chatteron them I think, and I know less, but worth looking at I think.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Hair Champs Salon was? Nadine P. Oct 00 . I don't typically write negative reviews about anyone, but this case Omar merits one. i can sum it up in one word...BUTCHERED! My hair was midway down my back.. all i wanted was some shorter more textured layers. Seems pretty simple for most pros . What i got was a mushroom cap. Its as if he gave me two different haircuts, one in back and one in front, The problem is on the crown, i suppose he calls it texturing, however there's a huge chunk of hair cut right out of the crown, not even in a place you can hide. So basically i have 0 layers, almost like a bowl cut on top, long on the bottom with a big piece missing in the crown. The biggest problem for me is he had to know this during my blowout, as I sure did the next day when i went to blow it our myself. As he was blowing he said to me "oh it falls like a natural bump in the back". Well i did not ask for a bump, hence he knew he screwed up and said nothing, just tried to cover it up. Then just took my money. I know that people make mistakes, but when i called and went in for him to address it he kept saying , "oh i know what WE did" WE? really? no apology, just kept saying it does not look bad. But it is bad! Really bad, probably the WORST cut have EVER had! I also had to add ...someone who reviewed him stated "I would strongly recommend Omar to anyone that is looking for a NY quality stylist in the Raleigh area!", Well i am from NY and there is NOTHING NY quality about the way he does hair. Where were you getting your hair done ,,,on the A train?, even then it would probably still be better than what i got! Adam is absolutely amazing! I have gone to him twice and he has done exactly what I asked for. He even did bangs for me for the first time. They came out awesome. MUST VISIT. WHERE TO BEGIN...I WENT IN THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY. I went becuz my neighbor had her virgin hair bleached by him. it took him 0 hours but it looked wonderful and the price was cheap. so, i make an appointment. Took a chance and got burned...literally!! by dawn00nc at Citysearch Nov 00 . Worst haircut I have ever had. Nothing more to say. Don't go. by c00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . He cut all my hair off, colored it red ( I wanted it blond) and wouldn't repair it. I didn't have any bangs. My friends couldn't believe what a hack job he did. Maybe he didn't like me. I would have gladly left if that was the case. It took forever for it to grow. When I went to another salon that couldn't beieve what a rotton job he did. Don't go. by EllenCustomer at Citysearch Nov 00 . I thought I was dealing with professionals, I should have walked out the minute that man gave me attitude. Not only was he rude, but he chopped off all my hair when I only wanted a trim. I am now stuck with a bad haircut until I can get a new style when it grows back out! I will be very careful next time I want to try a new salon! Cons: Not prefessional, nor talented. by CherylO at Citysearch Nov 00 . I have lived here for almost 0 years and have not been able to find a stylist who is reasonably priced that does outstanding work until I came to Hair Champs and met Adam. He is simply amazing. He listened to me and we actually spent about 00 minutes discussing my lifestyle and what I was all about. He said he knew just what to do and to trust him. I gave it a whirl and WOW the result what just what I wanted both in color and style. I can't wait to get back in to see Adam. I finally found a place that I will continue to visit!!! Jamie S. Feb 00 . had! If you aren't sure exactly what you should do with your hair, you just need to trust him. He is that talented! Tell him Jamie sent you! He will hook you up! Go Once & You'll be Hooked! by ohbe at Citysearch Nov 00 . I prefer to do my hair in this salon for several reasons. First, it's easy to make an appointment, no long waiting period as in other salons with comparable services. Second, Larissa, the owner and stylist, is extremely pleasant and professional. My hair is thin and flat, but with the haircut from Larissa, styling is easy, beautiful shape and added volume. You can trust her taste and skills, just relax in the chair, and she will choose the style that flatters your face and personality. And third, the place is clean and cheerful. And all this for a very reasonable price. What else to look for? I and my both daughters love this salon. Thank you , Larissa! by deena00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . Walid did a great job with my hair. Medium-length haircut - very stylish (I didn't give him specific instructions, so he was creative) and suits my face really well. He also corrected my hair color: I had a terrible mix of highlights, colors etc. - all with about 0inches routes (disaster, yes). He did some highlights and colored the rest, was very meticulous, worked on my hair forever, carefully selecting each strand... Overall, I was VERY pleased. Price was very reasonable too. by hannah000 at Citysearch Nov 00 . From the first time I met Walid, I was really impressed. He is simply the best hairstylist I have ever had. I have gotten my haircut with Walid 0 times now since serendipitiously stumbling upon him. And each time I come to Hair Champs to get my haircut, I always leave feeling completely satisfied and pleased with what an absolutely amazingly job Walid does on my hair. I have never received so many compliments before on my haircut as I do when I get it cut with Walid. Walid always takes his time...sometimes spending more than an hour and a half on my hair...the longest I have ever had any stylist spent on my hair. He is very meticulous and such a perfectionist always making sure that every strand falls in the right place. Not only is Walid very talented and creative, he is also a caring and thoughtful individual constantly making sure that you are doing alright. I would highly recommend Walid to everyone. by jatnc00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . Only place in Raleigh that can cut my hair with clippers. Great if your ex-military! Walid is awesome, he is the consummate professional. The conversation amongst the staff is always interesting and funny. If you go here, take the time to get to know the staff, it definitely make each visit that much better. The price is also the best in town for the quality you get. Their goal is quality, not quantity, you don't pay for frivolous things that other places charge you. You get a cut and a shampoo for $00.00. You might have to wait a bit longer, however when its your turn in the chair, you know that they will take all the time necessary to do the job correctly and to your likening!!!!! If you do not believe me just go get your hair cut here and see for yourself. Best Price, Great Atmoshpere, Amazing Staff - Walid is Great!!! by eyceman at Citysearch Nov 00 . Being new to the area and not knowing too many places, I had gotten a couple of really bad hack-jobs. I stumbled across this place by accident one day (after a movie at the Raleigh Grande) and what an awesome experience! I didnt have an appointment so I waited about 00 minutes (not bad at all). Larissa immediately made me feel at ease. When she was done with my haircut after about 00 minutes it was perfect!! I'm very finicky about my hair and wa a bit nervous at first, but she did such a great job that I talked my wife into going there. She absolutely loved her haircut/style by Walid. Infact now, I even have my little 0 year old going there as well, and he won't go anywhere else! Hair Champs is definitely tops in my books. I highly recommend it for Women, Men AND Children. One of the Best Haircuts... ever! by nyinnc0 at Citysearch Nov 00 . I went to hair champs about a week ago and just wanted to write about my great experience! I wanted to get a cut and highlights. They both turned out amazing! I was amazed at how much time Walid spent with me. He is a perfectionist and took his time. For having meduim length hair, he spent almost 0 hours on me. I know other places that charge more and just want you out of there so they can wait on someone new. I'm very impressed and def. will be back! by sshaefer00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . Great w/ color. I royally screwed up my hair by dying it myself, and they did an excellent job repairing the damage. A little pricey - but worth it! by jennjohnson at Citysearch Nov 00 . The service was excellent and I love my new cut and style!! I was greeted and served promptly and the prices are fantastic. I am so happy to have found a new place so close to home! by iteachk00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . This was my 0rd visit to Hair Champs and I've never been happier! Stephanie helped my choose a new, easier, and quicker style that was just as hip! My highlights are absolutely perfect and the cut is really cute and so easy. by dandlkagan at Citysearch Nov 00 . I am not the kind of person that writes reviews but I can't sit back and read another bogus attack against this salon. Me and my wife are loyal clients and have been since discovering this little gem on City Search two years ago. Most salons in Raleigh are ridiculously over priced. They try to jam products down your throat and treat you like you are on a production line. Hair Champs is the only salon in this town that gives you the best of BOTH worlds, great service and a great price. I have watched this business grow from scratch. Larissa has a genuine concern and appreciation for her customers and she has one of the highest work ethics I have ever seen in a business owner. Keep up the good work Hair Champs! We love you guys and we'll never go anywhere else. How can anyone not like this salon? by sunsurfergl at Citysearch Nov 00 . My hair is thick and it grows very fast. I refuse to pay over 00 dollars for a haircut. I have been to just about every salon in Raleigh more than once and this place beats them all. They charge me 00 and 00 for my hubby. They gave me exactly what I wanted because I don't get out of the chair until I am happy. My husband goes the Elvira or Larissa and I go to Stephanie. One word of advice, you should make an appointment, or you will probably have to wait. My husband walked in today and had to waited over an hour for a haircut. Other than that, I say go for it, GOOD SALON at a good price. by pjplayer00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . by helly0 at Citysearch Nov 00 . I dont usually take the time to write reviews but the lack of quality service at this salon prompted me to do so. I wanted a new, chic looking hairstyle. Unfortunately, I decided to try Hair Champs solely based on Citysearch reviews. First of all, the stylist acted very unprofessionally by complaining about one of her clients that had just left the salon. The haircut I ended up with looked nothing like the pictures that I showed the stylist. The method in which she cut and styled my hair displayed an obvious lack talent and up-to-date training. My hair looked frizzy, puffy and just plain unattractive after she styled it. I do not recommend Hair Champs to anyone looking for a trendy new look. It may be an o.k. place for a guy to get a trim but not for a girl that needs an attractive hairstyle. by tomk000 at Citysearch Nov 00 . I was recently in Raleigh, N.C. and stopped at Hair Champs for a quick cut. After a few minutes I decided to stay a while. The staff included a friendly group of guys and gals that gave me top notch treatment. I was lucky enough to be serviced by the owner, Larissa, and opted for a wash and stylish cut and even came out with a cup of coffee. What a treat for a guy who is used to being rushed in and out of most places. The experience was truly wonderful. by emmiekins at Citysearch Nov 00 . I would definitely recommend checking out Hair Champs. The service is great as is the talent of the stylists on staff. Elli is fantastic! My only caveat is to be 000% certain of the style you are asking for. Other than that, press on for a great cut! by loreren at Citysearch Nov 00 . The stylists at Hair Champs are amazing - especially Tonya, who not only gives me a consistantly natural looking highlights (blonde highlights on a dark brunette!) but also gives an amazing cut. I would pay twice as much to look half as good! If you want the most attractive style perfect for you, then you'd be crazy to trust any other salon. by andreaw0000 at Citysearch Nov 00 . I took a chance on this place. Had my hair colored and got some red high lights on top. The salon was recomended by a freind. Wow am I happy! You couldn't ask for better quality. I saw that someone (below) didn't like their highlights, but I can say that I got GREART service. Guess you can't please everyone. I would try this place. by atorgofan at Citysearch Nov 00 . This place is great! I went in for a haircut only, despite having recently dyed my own hair from brown to blond, ending up with...well, kind of something interesting. Adam suggested doing an all over color to correct the mess I'd made, and I thought what the heck. It turned out a very nice dark blond, pretty close to my natural color and a billion times better than the interesting gradients of blond I'd had! Not to mention I loved the haircut - I have a short bob with bangs and he trimmed it up perfectly. He added some subtle stacking that I would not have expected but looks great. They know their stuff about color and cuts for sure! Also a fun place to get your hair cut - everyone is VERY entertaining to say the least. I also got a great deal due to their color service sale - run, don't walk down there if you need color done! Also they're very willing to spend a lot of time with you to get things done right. by wlarring at Citysearch Nov 00 . The atmosphere and the service at Hair Champs were great for a haircut. I am a guy and therefore don't need thermalionic-colordye straightening or whatever it is but the staff at Hair Champs, especially Larisa, the owner, give great men's haircuts. The staff works with you on scheduling and the price is very reasonable. by devi00 at Citysearch Nov 00 . I am thrilled with my hair, and the service is unbeatable. I came in and didn't have to wait at all, they were actually ready for me- as we all know this is unlike most salons! My hair stylist was very professional, friendly and did exactly what I asked her to do on my hair. I don't usually write reviews over places I have recieved service at, but this place was so commendable that I thought it deserved some great feedback. I will be a returning customer. by agule at Citysearch Nov 00 . I happened to be a walk-in and they immediately took me, Stephanie did a wonderful job with the highlights they are beautiful and actually healthy looking! She taught me how to take care of my hair & now I have a perfect hair cut to frame my face. It was a wonderful experience and I can now style my hair easily. Also the service price was great and these products really work! Can't wait for my next visit! Very Pleased & I look Gorgeous! by soniapeters at Citysearch Nov 00 . I didn't even get seen for 00 minutes, and when I did, I asked for an overall chocolately brown color with auburn highlights, and when I showed the woman the picture of the hair I wanted, she said, "Okay, pick out the colors." WHAT? Who's the professional? So, I chose an auburn red for my highlights, and she ruined my hair with adding FIERY RED-ORANGE highlights. Then, she tried to fix the disaster by putting toner in my hair, which after 00 minutes did NOTHING. Then she put brown all over my hair and added some copper highlights, and now my hair looks like a purple/black color with red and yellow highlights on top. To top it off, they charged me $000 for this eyesore. They wasted 0 hours of my time; don't let them waste yours! They took me for a ride. Hair Color Image is a professional hair salon that specializes in cuts, color and highlights. Our main line of service is Redken. Call for an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.

What is Septicemia (Foals) ? Many times foals born in a dirty birthing stall or out in the pasture are more susceptible to developing septicemia. Usually, foals will become ill within three to four days of birth. In some cases, the foal is infected with septicemia in-utero. If this occurs the foal will be born in a weakened state or even comatose. It is important that foals are born within clean conditions. Keeping the birthing stall disinfected and providing clean bedding every day will reduce the risk of septicemia in foals. After every birth, the birthing stall must be scrubbed, preferably with a bleach solution to kill any bacteria that may be present. Septicemia in foals can be fatal if not treated aggressively and quickly. It is a disease that involves bacteria within the bloodstream. The bacteria then infiltrate the tissues of the foal. The bacterial infection will spread through the tissues and affect bones, joints, organs and the central nervous system. Septicemia is a bacterial infection that is caused when bacteria enters the body and then spreads through the bloodstream. Generally, foals that are three to four days old are the most susceptible to septicemia. Those born in dirty conditions are at a higher risk. Septicemia can be fatal if not treated aggressively immediately. Adult horses can also develop septicemia, but instead of the bacteria entering through an umbilical cord, it occurs when the intestinal barrier has been disturbed. Generally, this is from inflammatory bowel disease or a GI obstruction. There is no diagnostic tool available to detect sepsis early. Veterinarians have developed a system that helps identify sepsis at a more treatable stage. Your veterinarian will look at the foal's medical history, observation of the living conditions and laboratory testing to determine if septicemia is present. A complete blood count and urinalysis will show the presence of bacteria within the foal. Arterial blood gas analysis will also help in diagnosing septicemia. A negative blood culture does not definitively rule out septicemia. Your veterinarian will also look to see what organs, if any, have been affected by the infection. Once a full assessment has been completed and the definitive diagnosis of septicemia has been made, a treatment plan will be set for your foal. Your veterinarian will implement an aggressive treatment plan that will include antibiotics to help reduce the spread of septicemia through the bloodstream. Antimicrobial medications may also be used along with frequent monitoring, fluid therapy, nutritional support, and cardiovascular support. This generally requires that the foal, or horse of any age, be hospitalized during treatment. Anti-endotoxin therapy may be recommended if there are GI disturbances or other illnesses within the abdominal cavity. Supportive care along with round the clock checks will be required for your foal. Most medications required will be administered through an IV. Your veterinarian will discuss all of your treatment options for your foal and help you make the best choice. Immediate, aggressive treatments are required for a foal diagnosed with septicemia. Be sure to administer all medications as prescribed to ensure their maximum effect. If you are unsure of dosing instructions or concerned about any side effects, contact your veterinarian for assistance. Septicemia in foals is fatal if not treated quickly and aggressively. Even then, some foals still do not make it. Speak with your veterinarian about your foal's prognosis and recovery time. By hospitalizing your foal, recovery time may be increased as opposed to keeping your foal housed in your stable with its mother. Prevention is the best way to avoid septicemia in foals. This means maintaining good hygiene, removing any build up of mud or feces on your mare before and after giving birth. Keeping the new foal clean and out of muddy conditions is also important. Place the expectant mother in the clean, disinfected birthing stall several weeks prior to delivery. This allows her make antibodies that will fight against any pathogens that are commonly found in a foaling environment. Clean the foaling stall daily, disinfect the walls and flooring prior to adding clean bedding. Once the foal is born, wash mother and foal with warm water to remove any birthing fluids and bacteria. Ask your veterinarian about a solution that can be put on the foal's umbilical cord to help keep bacteria at bay.

A mild degree of oligohydramnios causes no direct detrimental consequences to the fetus. However, severe oligohydramnios does have severe consequences for the fetus, irrespective of cause. In the uterus, the swallowing of water by the fetus promotes the normal development of the fetal lungs, and this is disrupted when there is a marked lack of amniotic fluid (severe oligohydramnios). In other words, chronic severe oligohydramnios may alone be sufficient to cause miscarriage, even when the cause is not known, because of its severe effect on fetal development. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the main source of amniotic fluid is the mother, and a small amount originates from the fetus. In the second and third trimesters, most of the fluid is formed from fetal urine, and a decrease in the normal amount of amniotic fluid usually occurs as a result of a problem in the fetus's urinary tract. Most cases are a result of early rupture of the membranes and breaking of the waters. Sometimes there is a continuous, low-level loss of fluid that the mother does not even feel. Even slight leakage of amniotic fluid can be demonstrated using a special gynecological test. Defects in the urinary tract and/or kidneys that do not allow urination in normal quantities. These can be congenital defects in the development of the kidneys or obstruction of the urinary tract at different levels (in the urethra, ureters, etc.). Placental insufficiency. In this case, signs of delayed fetal growth also appear. There are reports in the literature of a high frequency of chromosome disorders in fetuses with oligohydramnios. In most cases of oligohydramnios arising from chromosome disorders, other defects will also be detected in the fetus. Therefore oligohydramnios alone, without other defects, is not necessarily an indication for amniocentesis, especially if the cause is known (e.g. leakage of amniotic fluid, etc.). What should be done if oligohydramnios is diagnosed? The mother should be asked whether there has been any leakage of amniotic fluid in the period preceding the diagnosis of oligohydramnios. Her excretions should be examined for the presence of amniotic fluid, etc. A 0rd level ultrasound scan should be performed to look for defects, especially in the urinary tract. In cases of severe oligohydramnios, a good fetal scan cannot always be performed. Doppler testing of the placental blood vessels should be carried out in order to check for placental insufficiency. If there is no clear cause, such as leakage of amniotic fluid or placental insufficiency, then the parents should be offered genetic counseling in order to discuss the severity of the condition, its implications, the need for further investigations, and the advisability of performing amniocentesis. In cases where amniocentesis cannot be performed, cordocentesis or chorionic villus sampling through the abdomen can be carried out instead. In cases of severe oligohydramnios, with or without defects in the urinary tract, the parents should be referred to a multidisciplinary clinic in a hospital for professional counseling by an expert in pediatric kidney diseases (nephrologist), a genetic counselor, an expert in ultrasound examinations and a neonatologist in order to collate all the data and discuss what further investigations and interventions, if any, should be undertaken. This will depend on the severity of the oligohydramnios, and whether or not there are any associated defects, etc.

Daniel Akpeyi was the main attraction during the Super Eagles training session watched by Owngoalnigeria.com Maxwell Pius at the training pitch of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. The Eagles had a light session before splitting into two groups of 0 players each for a practice game, which Akpeyi excelled with save after save to frustrate the forwards he was up against. Akpeyi was difficult to beat throughout the session, and his form is a confirmation of how well he has been performing for his Premier South Africa League side Chippa United. The highlight of his performance was stopping a penalty from Leicester City Star Ahmed Musa, and the manner which he stopped shots during their shooting drills. Although Ikechukwu Ezenwa didn't do badly, Akpeyi was by far the most impressive, however he was up against some of the top strikers of the team so that means he was constantly under pressure as they mounted attacks after attack. A decision on who will start between the duo is expected to be made in the coming days, but for now Akpeyi is in the lead after his performance this evening.

A solid rock fist up for "C.S.A: Confederate States of America" "C.S.A: Confederate States of America" is a truly unique and rare motion picture. What the film lacks in budget, editing, and performances it more than makes up for with an utterly brilliant and awe-inspiring concept. "C.S.A" is confrontational and completely in your face, but in a way that is so bold and smart that any intelligent criticism about what the film may be missing should be overshadowed by its undeniable originality and relevance. With its recent nationwide theatrical release, "C.S.A" is the "little picture that could" not on the strength of the movie-making, but because it needs to be seen, both as great art and as exceptional satire. "C.S.A" supposes what America's history would have been had the Confederacy won the Civil War. The film pretends to be the presentation of a British television documentary about the history of the "Confederate States of America" from the time of the war to the present. The documentary is being broadcast on a "C.S.A."-controlled television channel and is frequently interrupted by commercials for products and services that reflect an America where slavery is very much alive and well. Delving into the details of the film would unnecessarily alter the experience of watching the film, so that is all the summation that will be given here. The movie itself has some rather noticeable flaws. It was obviously shot inexpensively and the editing and pace reflect an effort to make the most of what director Kevin Wilmott was able to piece together. He did a fabulous job with what he had to work with, and it is a shame he didn't have more resources. One wonders what this film would look like if it had a budget that matched the gigantic scope of the ideas within, and begs the question: Would/could a major studio get behind a movie like this? Although Spike Lee's name is now attached to the film as an executive producer, "C.S.A." was made independently and without an adequate financing to truly do it justice. Despite the heavy subject matter, "C.S.A." has moments of great humor interspersed throughout the picture. It begins with a quote from George Bernard Shaw, "If you're going to tell people the truth, you'd better make them laugh..." A statement which helps to temper the experience and information the viewer is about to witness. It serves valuably to remind you from the start that the movie wants to be laughed at as much as it wants you to feel the impact of its message. Until now "C.S.A: Confederate States of America" has found audiences through limited screenings and film festivals. The nationwide release the film is getting right now may not last long. If your art theater is showing the film, it is worth the trip; if not, DVD will be the format where most people will discover this intriquing picture. This film belongs on college campuses, it belongs in theaters and it belongs in the American conscience, because long after the independent movie "C.S.A." is over, the ideas it presents remain powerful and totally fascinating.

It's not just about diet, however, vegans avoid exploiting animals for any purpose, with ethical reasons being a key factor in choosing a vegan lifestyle. Shockingly, animal products and products tested on animals can be found in accessories, clothing, and makeup, just to name a few! Fortunately, in today's world, we have affordable and easily-sourced alternatives available to us. So, what exactly is a Vegan Diet? A vegan diet is richly diverse comprising in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, beans, and pulses. As a vegan, you will learn to be creative in preparation of meals so as to ensure you're never bored. Nowadays, there is a such a hype around veganism that you can buy almost anything, from wraps, pizzas, cakes, even ice-cream that is suitable for a vegan diet as they're made with plant-based ingredients. So what exactly is the difference between veganism and a raw food diet? A vegan diet consists only of plant foods. All meats and other animal products, including milk and eggs, are off-limits. However, some vegans restrict their diets even further by choosing to eat only raw foods, foregoing all foods cooked at temperatures above 000°F (00°C). A raw diet also includes fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds. Although a raw vegan will be more particular about the types of beans and grains they eat and will choose lentils, peas, and quinoa, in their sprouted form, specifically. Soy products on a raw vegan plain are not permitted as these are cooked at temperatures above 000°F (00°C). In a raw food diet, nuts and seeds are raw, not toasted (whereas toasted is allowed in a regular vegan plan). Frozen vegetables are par-cooked before freezing, so they too are not allowed in a raw vegan plan. Inadequate consumption of vitamins and minerals can result in loss of bone and muscle mass. At the end of the day, adopting a vegan lifestyle is a deeply personal choice and one that may not be everybody's cup of miso soup. BUT, we cannot ignore the fact that Increasingly more and more people have decided to go vegan for ethical and health reasons. It is important for anyone thinking about the vegan route that the transition is done gradually and mindfully. When done correctly a vegan diet has endless benefits, including weight loss, a healthier body, and mind, as well as a deeper sense of ethical respect and responsibility. Join the Energise Academy today! Your health coach Mark Bryant will mentor and guide you through this incredible life transformation.

The Way, a circuit around Calderdale, was pioneered by local civic trusts and groups who came together under the umbrella of the Calderdale Way Association. The main and link routes to the valley bottom are designed so that they can be completed in short stages. The walk encircles Halifax, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, following old packhorse ways across the open gritstone hillsides with sections of traditional stone causeway, passing through hillside villages and old mill towns on the banks of the River Calder. There are numerous link paths which connect the Calderdale Way to the valley floor. There are medieval settlements at Lumbutts and Mankinholes, and Withens Gate, where the Pennine Way crosses. A short diversion along the Pennine Way takes in the popular walk to the 000ft monument, Stoodley Pike.

Providing orthodontic care to Suffern, Sloatsburg, Montebello, and all surrounding New York communities. Getting to know the local families and treating their children has been a dream come true for me. Having a true family practice was exactly the way I had always envisioned myself during my training and schooling. I knew orthodontics was the right career choice for me from the very beginning. Growing up in Staten Island, NY, I always enjoyed order and organization in contrast to my laid back personality and down to earth demeanor. These traits all blended together well and have made a great balance for a successful orthodontist. I always want to make my patients comfortable and at home, yet get the job done well. I was then lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to receive my education from the United States Air Force training program, helping me to complete my degree in orthodontics. I participate in year-round continuing education courses so that I can stay current on the latest technology available. My patients deserve the best and this allows for that to be possible. I strongly believe in giving back to the community organizations that make this neighborhood such a wonderful place. Every year I happily contribute to sponsor or support many local sports teams, charities, and community fundraisers. After enjoying traveling the globe gaining knowledge and experience while treating hundreds of U.S. servicemen, women, and their families, I now enjoy being back home permanently in New York. I spend my leisure time with my wife and our two daughters, who were born while we were stationed in Okinawa, Japan. We have become the hub of our family since we returned to the U.S. in 0000. Hosting and entertaining our large family and friends for most holidays and special occasions and making up for lost time are at the top of our list these days. I can't wait to meet you and have you become part of our Ramapo Orthodontics family!

Name is the starting point for all universal and sacred laws of life, whether it is called Universal Mind, Divine Oneness or God Almighty. It is universal because all human activity - personal, socio-cultural, economic and political - issues from a name, from the smallest quanta of matter or energy to the largest telescopic view of the celestial heavens. Names and naming are basic to etymology, language development and linguistics, and to the formation and evolution of human occupations like horticulture, engineering and psychiatry. But did you know human beings have the mandate to name? This feature makes this principle universal, spiritual and audacious all at the same time. NAMING TRADITIONS. Naming in primary, a-literate or pre-historic cultures was multi-faceted, and many forms of early naming traditions continue today. Especially in societies that are less media-saturated than Western ones, child naming is a huge event, and one's name signifies a connection to clan and community. For example, if a dramatic event occurs to a mother and the child is born soon afterward, the family leader may decide the baby's name and base it on the event. If the clan or tribe experiences some upheaval or transformation and it coincides with the birthing, the child may be named for this circumstance. If someone dreams of the baby telling its own name, this is another way a child claims its name. Many societies wait seven or eight days before naming a child to see what the world brings forth or what the child does to give a clue to its name. Infant behavior as well as situational changes as a result of infant arrival result in unusual but appropriate names. Some children are named for the day, week or month they were born, or for a predestined life path that their date of birth indicates. These beliefs are why there are naming ceremonies and rites of passage marking milestones, including puberty and earned name changes, reached by cohort members. Some people mature into a new name because of a profession or creative work. There are nicknames, stage names, pet names and pen names (often, in the singular, referred to as a nom de plume) that people take on and release - it goes both ways. Sojourner Truth, Marilyn Monroe, Whoopi Goldberg, Chevy Chase and Malcolm "X" Shabazz are examples of name-changers. I found out who I was by undertaking a journey to rename myself. My birth name triggered me, I felt a bumble of words in my head that did not help me to locate who or where I was in time. Bumping up against my given name meant I was missing a point of access to who I was being in the world. My vision of the world felt obstructed. Nancy Regun Ethelind Clare. Not only was Regan misspelled on my birth certificate according to my mother, the order was wrong. My beloved grandmother's first name Ethelind should have been before my father's sister's middle name Regan. Nancy Regun was uncomfortably close to Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan's wife. As First Lady of the U.S. and Republican party, she and I had little in common. My discomfort with Nancy begins with the shrill manner in which my mother called me which communicated impatience and criticism. It was not the "Nancy With the Smiling Face" lilt sung by Frank Sinatra about his daughter. My mother's aunt was named Nancy. I eventually read that Nancy meant grateful or grace of God, as did Ann, Jean, John, Ian, Sean, and similar European names. They were derived from John the Baptist, said to be the first person so named. Not unexpectedly, I hung out with musicians and declared myself married to one in 0000. I met him at a Halloween party in Soho with live music by Olu Dara. The party continued into the early hours of the morning, All Saint's Day, at someone's home in the Bronx. This strikes me now as important but did not at the time. On his first visit to my home, Khalid Abdul Raheem (aka Jack) brought me a Qur'an to read. This began my Islamic education. Meanwhile, people had begun to call me Niamo based on my writings, since I had prefixed it to my name: Niamo Nancy Clare. I was so proud of this unique and beautiful name. In an otherworldly episode I learned to detach from it, and this was a turning point in my spiritual journey. I got the surprise of my life while attending a showcase of a playwright's new work. In the small audience of not more than fifty people I noticed a woman who looked like the late Elizabeth Taylor, noted for the Cleopatra stereotype provided courtesy of Hollywood. This woman could not be mistaken for Ms. Taylor, she just had that look and a stylish bearing to match. I had loved the movie Ms. Taylor starred in, National Velvet, as a child, partly because I shared a love of horses. I secretly fancied myself a brown-skinned Taylor because of my long mane. I looked nothing like her, but had been dazzled by her stardom. As an adult, to notice someone reminding me of her was no big thing but in reflection, I chuckled to myself. At the end of the play my friend and I stayed a bit longer to meet the playwright, who she knew. As we were being introduced, I noticed the Taylor look-alike drawing nearer and she too knew the writer. We were introduced and I told her my name. She said, "Oh, I know someone named Niamo. That's a pretty name." I conveyed my thanks and surprise. The Niamo she knew resided in Chicago, where she was from. I asked if that woman had ever lived in California, where I attended college. She indeed had. When I named the college, she said she believed that was it. When I asked was she an art major and did she have blond hair and was she kind of tall and slim? Yes, she said, she was. I realized there was a woman in my classes who liked the name I signed on my paintings. Most still called me Nancy at the time. My earliest college art was signed by the pen name Jam, because I liked the way "byJam," with the "Y" and "J" connected, looked. This "handle" began in junior high school. At the time a jam to me meant a jam session, the ultimate in jazz improvisation. Later I read it symbolically. Years of French taught me je meant "I" and "Am" could be a short form of aime meaning love. So we could interpret Jam as I AM or I Love. It was very important that I not be "Hordinary" - the worst thing a person could be, uttered by my grandfather in his Tobagonian accent. No, each member of our clan was committed to being special - anything but ordinary. Anyway, I concluded, "This girl stole my name!" I looked at the irony of it - a "white" girl, a classmate who met me fleetingly, just up and took my name! I felt forced to deal with my unexpressed feelings. Anger - How dare she? Sadness - I'm not unique! Shock - this totally caught me off guard. Awe - She up and took my name and made it her own! Disgust and defeat - She doesn't even know what it means, how I arrived at the name, or how important it is to me! This is horrendous, I lamented in self-pity. I am not special after all! One of the things that helped me get over this was a few lines from "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf," the ground-breaking play by Ntozake Shange. At the time, I mentally dared anyone to steal her name. The lines I loved were, "Somebody done walked off with alla my stuff and they don't even know what to do with it." Although spoken of a boyfriend, this line let me know people did take stuff and you would feel the loss of it. I felt loss and realized I could wail about it to no avail. My worry and feeling insulted would not change the experience. Plus, I still owned the name, even moreso than I had before. It took on new meaning. I found myself releasing the attachment to what I had held as an exclusive appellation. Although the name helped me feel special, it was more like the book cover of my life, and not me. It took years before I grasped the "book cover" nature of the name Niamo.

It's summer and that means BBQ's, tacos out by the pool, beach days, and late night sun. It's all fun and games in countries where communism isn't the rule. Consumer goods line the shelves, there are open air markets, restaurants deliver delicious meals - we take it for granted. That's just how it is. If you're a communist, the summer experience is more like the picture (right). Summer in North Korea means that you can work in the fields longer for food that somebody else will eat. You won't be compensated for that, but hey, everyone is a comrade. Everyone is equal but some, such as the over-fed dear leader, are clearly more equal than others. Everyone expects the Norks to starve because that's all they've done since the communists claimed power. The rest of the world is a different thing. We don't expect people to starve (unless they're in Africa). For the last twenty years all anybody in Venezuela talked about was politics. Over expensive meals, black label whiskey and cold beer on street corners the endless debate raged: revolution, popular democracy, participatory democracy. Conspiracies, the empire - planning; oh, the endless planning. Then came Hugo Chavez and communism...which we all knew was the beginning of the end. Are we all a species of Cassandra (prophetess blessed to see the future but cursed that she would not be believed)? Apparently that is the case. It takes a mighty poor prophet to predict that communism/national socialism, whatever the name, to impoverish a nation. The only thing people talk about in Venezuela today is food. Where can you find milk? Has anybody seen eggs? Cheese, butter, chicken - these are the topics, on street corners in front of boarded up kiosks where the drunken debates used to rage. The beer is now gone, and sobriety is a heartless companion. It's humiliating, but hungry people don't have the luxury of pride. The Hollywood crowd love to talk about redistribution. They haven't yet told the people of Venezuela what to do when all the money in the universe will not buy a loaf of bread. Communism has built land of consumers, nobody is left who can produce. George Clooney isn't there to experience the reality that: orders and threats and storm troopers cannot turn that money into milk and butter and eggs. That is - and always has been - the job of free citizens. Venezuela is a communist/socialist Sanders utopia - and there are no more free citizens. It's Atlas Shrugged in action. And even though there is a free college education for all, the people of Venezuela have other problems at the moment, distracting from their studies...because you can't study effectively when your belly button is stuck to your backbone. Put that into your pipe and smoke it, Bernie. The Mainstream Media don't have much to say about people starving in Venezuela (awash with oil) who are living the dream that is democratic socialism. I wonder why? I can't help but reflect on the men who crushed the Nazi war machine (and yes, that includes the Russians who died in vast numbers to end Hitler) and the unrestrained ambitions of Imperial Japan, which was no less cruel than the Germans. It's June 0, the anniversary of D-Day, and two years previously of the end of the Battle of Midway. Both were seminal events in a war that defined a generation that is very thin these days. A YouGov survey showed that only 00% of men ages 00-00 defined themselves as masculine. I don't know how valid that survey is but I'd wager that many of the men that identified themselves in that way served their in the military. The older the group surveyed, the more of the men who responded defined themselves as masculine. Is the change the result of propaganda designed to emasculate men, put out by the mainstream media. Do young men idolize Bruce Jenner, woman of the year? I don't get it. Then again, I'm not in that 00% demographic of young men who see themselves as "feminine". study the "beautiful" history of Islam. It's interesting that men who identify themselves as "masculine" are referred to by the mainstream media as somehow less than human (mouth breathers, neanderthals, etc.). The phony tough don't understand that it can be a mistake to push a man to violence when violence is what that man has dedicated his life to perfecting. Living in the liberal world of those who "feel the Bern" and expect live to be handed to them "free", people forget that there are others who don't see the world in those terms at all. The men who secured freedom for generations did not have the luxury of s parasitically feeding off others. They would never have done so even if the opportunity existed. Both the men and women of that generation are not the least bit politically correct in the current world that we live in. They felt that many people living in the Middle East were savages. In some countries, such as Canada and England, stating the obvious is against the law. They knew that in order to be free, one had to be prosperous and have security. And without both, you would have neither. I know what they'd say of the present generation and its trend toward the absurd, and those words would not be generous or kind.

So you just accidentally deleted a batch of files on your USB flash drive? Or the files got hidden or missing for some reasons? Maybe worse yet, your USB couldn't be detected by a computer. Anyway, in this definitive guide here we're going to show you how to recover deleted or lost files, no matter what situation you are facing. To make it easier for you to browse, we break down all types of USB data loss situations into different scenarios, so you can quickly match your situation and find respective fix solutions. Do use the Table of Content below to help yourself navigate. Chapter 0: Accidentally Deleted Files from a Flash Drive? Chapter 0: Formatted USB Flash Drive By Mistake? Chapter 0: All Files and Folders Became Shortcuts in USB Drive? Chapter 0: USB Disk Shows Error Due to Corruption? Chapter 0: USB Drive Can't Be Recognized by a Computer? You may have removed some files from your disk, thinking they would go to the Recycle Bin or Trash. But the fact is those items will bypass the bin. When you delete something from an external drive, it's similar to emptying Recycle Bin or Trash on your computer. But there is still a way to retrieve them. How to recover: the best way is to use a USB data recovery program (as we introduce in Chapter 0 below). Beware that such software only recovers deleted files that are not overwritten yet, meaning you should try to not use your flash drive when you realized some items had gotten deleted. Sometimes you need to free up more disk space, so you just "quick format" the drive without thinking much about the data stored inside. The operation is irreversible meaning there is no such "unformat" function. Fortunately, it's still quite possible to rescue the data. How to recover: once again, by using a USB data recovery software. A quick disk formatting won't erase the data stored inside immediately. In fact, the data will retain intact there for quite a while depending on how large its volume is and how aggressive you generate additional data. Similar to accidental deletion, these formatted files are recoverable only when they are not fully written over. Most likely your flash drive has been infected by certain virus or malware. All the folders and items are now turned into shortcuts, usually a few kilobytes (KBs) in size. This has been a known issue for years, good news is that you can restore your folders and files in a couple of steps. How to fix: we've covered this in another article how to fix file folders become shortcuts, go check it out there. If you plug your USB drive into a computer and click on it, a pop-up window shows "the disk is not formatted, do you want to format it now?" or it says "the drive can't be initiated", chances are that your pen drive is corrupted or crashed. How to fix: refer to this article how to fix usb not formatted error for detailed instructions on recovering your data and making the device work again. There are two mainly reasons for this: file system or device driver issues, or your USB is physically damaged. Either way, you may still be able to make it work again and access the data normally. However, be prepared to spend a bit more time. How to fix: first follow the guide in this MakeUseOf article to update USB drivers or partition it correctly. If you suspect that your flash disk is damaged, watch this video for how to get the files out of a damaged USB stick. Please note: you'll need to rely on a computer to run the recovery software to retrieve your deleted or inaccessible files. And it's not 000% guaranteed that you'll get all your data back, but it's at least worth a try. If you are using a Windows PC, try Easy Drive Data Recovery - an incredibly powerful and easy-to-use tool designed by Munsoft dedicated to recovering many types of files deleted or lost from an external disk drive. If you are on a Mac machine (MacBook, iMac, etc.), get Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery - an app that was originally developed to retrieve data from the internal Macintosh hard drive, but now it also works amazingly well to pull back data from external disks. First off, turn on your computer, open a web browser such as IE, Chrome or Safari. Get a USB recovery program we recommended above and install it on your computer. Now insert your flash drive into the USB port on your computer. Open "This PC" (in Windows) or "Disk Utility" (for Mac) to check and make sure the disk can be recognized. Now launch the recovery software. Follow its instructions on the screen to select the right drive or file types to conduct a scan. The scanning process can take several minutes depending upon your disk volume. When the scan is complete. Preview the found files and recover those items you want. If you've deleted files from USB drive or formatted it, stop using the device right away. Because any additional data writing activities to the disk may overwrite the old files thus decreasing the recovery rate. Always put your flash disk in a safe environment - meaning less possible suffer statics, water damage or physical drop. Backup and backup the data regularly. All digital devices will fail eventually and you never know when that will happen, backup is king to keep your data safe. Try not plug your USB key to a computer that you're not familiar with, especially those in public places. You never know if the computer has a virus or not. While it's super convenient to carry a USB flash drive and access the data whenever we need, it's also prone for the small storage device to go wrong either with human mis-operations or device crash/damage issues. Hope you find this USB data recovery guide useful. Best of all, good luck on recovering your lost items. If you have any further questions or suggestions, leave a comment below and let us know.

Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry is a small shrub that is commonly grown for its edible qualities. It produces red heart-shaped berries which are usually ready for picking in mid summer. The berries have a sweet taste. Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry has green foliage throughout the season. The textured oval compound leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. The flowers are not ornamentally significant. It features an abundance of magnificent red berries in mid summer. Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry will grow to be about 0 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 0 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 0 foot from the ground. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 00 years. This is a self-pollinating variety, so it doesn't require a second plant nearby to set fruit. Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry is a good choice for the edible garden, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

By now, most Americans know about the desire of GM management and labor unions to have the taxpayers give them billions of dollars. The plan is to keep the Detroit automobile manufacturers going for a while longer. Not even the staunchest advocates of the Detroit bailout believe that giving them billions of dollars will yield any permanent results; everybody plans to re-visit the issue next year. GM and the UAW find themselves in this position because of a long history of lavish pay and benefit packages for union workers - twice the labor costs of the competition and about three times the non-automotive labor cost. Although there's been a lot of complaint about high-paid managers, there are relatively few of these high-paid people. Plant-floor workers don't get paid as much as the executives, but there are a whole lot more of them. In the grand scheme of things, plant-floor labor cost matters a whole lot more than executive pay but that fact gets lost in the yelling and screaming about making workers sacrifice their livelihoods. The desire to provide workers with a dignified old age via some sort of pension is a noble and humanitarian impulse, but UAW-type pensions simply aren't practical given that people are living so much longer than expected. The way GM pensions work out, people receive pensions for longer than they worked. One way to look it this is to assume that if people collect pensions for only as long as they work, their actual productivity while working is cut in half. Since the company has to pay the worker one year of retirement for every year of work, their actual productivity in terms of work done per dollar of wages and benefits is cut in half. How well would our economy work if every worker's productivity were cut in half? That's the bottom-line, long-term effect of UAW-style pensions - productivity is cut in half and our lifestyle will suffer. People are expected to continue living longer and longer unless government regulations make medical research unprofitable. This immense pension cost has driven GM to the point of bankruptcy and makes it impossible to operate the business at a profit even if government continues to shovel billions of tax dollars to Detroit. As vast as the problems of GM are, and as great the potential damage to our economy should it finally collapse, however, GM's problem with the cost of pensions is nothing compared to the pension problems at all levels of American government. While GM was mortgaging its future to retiree pensions and health care, politicians were doing the same thing by awarding unaffordable pensions and health care to public employees. The difference was that while the UAW was not able to force GM to fire managers who wouldn't give the UAW what it wanted, public employee unions could and did vote politicians who didn't cave on pensions out of office. As a result, New York City employees have been promised pensions which are even more generous than GM's. The book While America Aged by Roger Lowenstein (New York, Penguin Press, 0000) gives some numbers on page 000. In 0000, the New York City Actuary noted that the city transit system contributed $000 million, or 00% of payroll, to pensions; this was expected to reach $000 million by 0000. Medical costs in 0000 were an additional $000 million. It's interesting to compare these numbers with income tax which runs roughly 00% of payroll. Health care and retirement each cost more than income tax. The rest of the city was no better off; the fire department paid $000 million in health-care costs, for example. Health care for retired fire workers has been rising fast enough that the taxpayers will soon be paying more for all the retired fire fighters than for all the working fire fighters! During the recent financial boom, New York City made enough money from income taxes paid by high-flying Wall Street workers that they were able to meet these obligations. Then 0000 happened. With Wall Street bonuses a matter of history and the state facing a corresponding shortfall in income tax receipts, these expenditures are simply not sustainable. There's a fatal flaw in offering benefits 00, 00, or 00 years out - nobody knows what economic conditions will be like when the bills come due. Consider social security. Although the law called social security an insurance program, courts have repeatedly declared it to be a welfare program because Congress can change the benefits at any time. Even if it were an insurance system, there'd be no money in it because our legislators have spent the entire fund, leaving only treasury IOU's; they simply won't leave the money alone. In its greatest high-profit days, GM wasn't able to put enough money aside to fund its pensions. New York City couldn't either. California has been tapping into its employee pension fund, CALPERS has lost a quarter of its value since June and is talking about demanding additional contributions. New Jersey is billions of dollars in the hole yet Gov. Jon Corzine wants county and municipal governments to skip more than $000 million in pension payments to avoid higher property taxes. In an article "The Land of Liabilities," the Economist lists immense unfunded pension liabilities in many states. Maine and New Hampshire have raided the teacher's retirement fund for current expenses, and so on. The overall situation is serious enough that some Congresspersons are calling on government to nationalize everyone's private 000(k) retirement accounts to try to paper over the holes in the public pension problem by snatching private retirement savings. We see that a) most of the public and private pension systems are under-funded, the money simply isn't there; and b) even if the money were there, what could it be invested in which won't get confiscated or misallocated by government action over a 00 year period? As a nation, as companies, and as individuals, we're trapped between a rock and a very hard place indeed. So how are all these pension claims going to be paid? The Economist article ends, "Taxpayers will have to ante up. The main question is when, and how much." There are only two choices: a) pensions won't be paid or b) taxes will go through the roof, collapsing the economy and eventually resulting in (a). Our lawmakers don't dare raise taxes nearly enough to fund the pensions they've already promised, but that doesn't stop them from promising more, regardless of party. George W. Bush, supposedly an arch-conservative, pushed through the largest entitlement expansion of all time in the form of his Medicare drug bill. People we've talked to say, "There's no way this won't be paid, it's protected by law!" No matter what the law says now, however, when pensions start to eat up, say, half of everyone's income, voters will instruct their elected representatives to change the law. There'll be a massive train wreck between taxpayers, public employee unions, and retirees; the longer it's delayed, the worse it will be. The discussions about bailing out Detroit have inspired state and city governments to ask for bailouts, too. The GM bailout is all about protecting workers' pensions; there is simply no way that any profit-making company can cover the cost of operating an automobile business and pay such generous pension obligations at the same time. Even governments which don't have to make a profit and which cavalierly exact taxes at gunpoint are finding it impossible to keep up with their pension obligations. Tennessee's Sen. Corker was correct in pointing out that unless the UAW accepts cuts in labor costs which get close to labor costs at Toyota, Honda, and the other transplants - which is to say, having their pay and pensions slashed roughly in half - there's no way any amount of money can do anything more than postpone the inevitable collapse of GM, at vast public expense. When a private firm goes bankrupt, its pensions are dumped on an agency of the federal government, called the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). This agency uses taxpayer dollars to make sure retirees continue to receive a minimum level of benefits, but not nearly as much as they were promised; it usually cuts pensions in half. Even after such a severe pension haircut, so many airlines have dumped their pensions that this agency is well under water. Lacking the same power to threaten confiscation or print more money, New York State's taxing authority has not been able to handle the cost of meeting its pension obligations while maintaining public services during the downturn; cuts are projected. Could any force other than bankruptcy or acute poverty give New York the strength to stand up to the unions and cut costs? Obviously not; bankruptcy or poverty it shall be, perhaps both. Just the other week we saw an astonishing list of new taxes to clobber New Yorkers when they can least afford it; anyone familiar with the Laffer Curve will not be surprised when these egregious exactions fail to raise the revenue intended and drive still more businesses and residents across the river to more reasonable jurisdictions. Some politicians are beginning to catch on. New York's Gov. David Paterson called for reduced pension benefits because of budget problems, saying, "We've made too many promises and asked for too few sacrifices. We're going to have to change our culture as we know it." He has the right idea, but one wonders how long New York would tolerate a transit or garbage strike? Nearly a hundred years ago, London suffered a railway strike; the commuters saw this as an opportunity for train-lovers to finally try their hand at running locomotives. Service carried on, more or less, under the hands of amateurs. The famous author C.S. Lewis reported there being "surprisingly few accidents," but one shudders to think of what OSHA would think of such a solution. It's clear that lifetime pensions of the GM or New York City form are simply unsustainable; there's no way we can afford the loss of productivity implied by having workers collect pensions, which can be close to their final pay levels, for more years than they spent working. Even with city taxes that are high enough to drive many citizens to move elsewhere, neither New York City nor California are able to fund a pension system that covers only a few; GM can't make enough money to fund its pension obligations either. Neither private business sales nor public taxation authority are able to fund pensions and health care for even a fraction of the overall population. How do we expect the Federal government to be able to handle pensions and health care for the entire population - particularly if they've already spent the "Full Faith and Credit of the United States" to prop up ill-advised pension promises made to the lucky few? How democratic is it to take Joe the Plumber's money to fund a UAW worker's early retirement? We have to go back to the traditional means of social security - not because we want to, but because it's the only road left. There is only one investment that's likely to hold value over a 00 year period without government stealing it, and that's children. In the past, old people were cared for by their children; in some countries, it's a crime for children not to take care of their parents. The men who designed the Social Security system deliberately set out to break the bonds between generations so that people would have fewer children, but they overdid it: our birth rate has plummeted, and uneducated illegal immigrants working for starvation wages in sweatshops aren't going to pay the difference. When the real crash comes, and nothing can stop it, old people who don't have enough children to care for them will be SOL. There's going to be a great many childless yuppies wishing, in their old age, that they had someone to care for them; or, God forbid, standing beside them bearing arms. Why Does Your Devalued Home Have Such a High Tax Rate? Being a pastor and having a wife that works with the elderly your point on childless families and retirement is right on. Even today we are seeing seniors that are slipping through the cracks, and are struggling to get some basic services that families once provided. Even more disturbing is the mindset of some children to abandon their parents to the system because of inconvenience. We at the church have prepared some basic services for our widowed people, but if a full-scale collapse hits everything will be overwhelmed. The Worse thing of all is that our city, state and federal governments seem to be if not blind then criminally ignorant to what is happening. "... In 0000, the New York City Actuary noted that the city transit system contributed $000 million, or 00% of payroll, to pensions; this was expected to reach $000 million by 0000. Medical costs in 0000 were an additional $000 million. It's interesting to compare these numbers with income tax which runs roughly 00% of payroll. Health care and retirement each cost more than income tax." If 00$ of payroll is $000M then payroll is $0.00B and 00% of that is $000M. Neither health care ($000M) or retirement ($000M) is more than income tax($000M). Also, the statewment, "...if people collect pensions for only as long as they work, their actual productivity while working is cut in half" misuses its terms as badly as it mangles its arithmetic. "Productivity" is universally understood to be the work done per hour, not work performed per dollar paid, and even if that malapropism is excused the cost per hour of a pension would only equal the cost per hour of the wage under much more limited assumptions about how the contributions and payout are made than that the terms of work and retirement are equal. That the pensions are excessive (and underfunded) may very well be true, but the claim made is arithmetic ignorance on stilts.

doTERRA essential oils + chocolate = delicious! And Christmas time is perfect for making some oil flavoured chocolate treats. My favourite doTERRA oils for pairing with chocolate are: Peppermint • Wild Orange • Ginger • Lime. PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE BARK is really, really simple to make and perfect for having on hand for holiday guests who drop by unexpectedly. Or wrap some chocolate bark in cellophane bags for a sweet gift for neighbours or friends. THE HOW TO .. is pretty much melt your chocolate, add your bits and freeze until set. Snap into pieces and you're good to go! For those who like a bit more detail, here's how I made this batch! Usually I just use white and dark chocolate + hopped pistachios and dried cranberries but this one is a nit of a fun festive twist! Use the double boiler saucepan method to gently melt your chopped dark chocolate on the cook top. Set aside and melt your white chocolate using the same process (or melt your chopped chocolate in a microwave using a microwave safe bowl or jug if you prefer). Allow your melted dark chocolate to cool for a few minutes. Stir in 0-0 drops of doTERRA Peppermint essential oil. Spread the melted dark chocolate onto a sheet of baking paper. Add drops of white chocolate and using a sharp knife point, swirl the white chocolate through the dark for a marble look. Sprinkle on chopped cranberries, chopped nuts and smashed candy cane lollies. Allow to set in the fridge or freezer for a quicker result (if you are impatient like me!!) and once set, snap into bark pieces. Store in the fridge. Package in cellophane bags for gift giving or a baking paper lined gift tin.

In about the time it takes to read this page, you can make your next trip significantly safer. This quick and practical walk-around inspection is not intended to replace periodic visibility tests on a FMVSS 000 Mirror Grid. The pre-trip walk-around inspection is not always enforced as mandatory for school bus drivers. But since mirrors can be bumped and manipulated during and between runs, aquiring this habit could turn a minimal effort into a major difference in human transportation safety. Go to the rear corners of the bus at the back bumpers. Peer down the side panels of the bus towards the front. You should be able to see some portion of the cross view mirrors extended out wider that the school bus body. Most cross view mirrors are around 00" wide. It would be good to see least 0" to 0" of mirror surface extending out beyond the 00" width of the bus. Next, crouch down adjacent to the rear tires. Can you see the cross view mirrors extending out? Look for a least 00% to 00% of the cross view mirror lens to be visible from your vantage point about a foot out from the rear axle locations. Check both sides of the bus. Walk out directly in front of the bus 00' to 00' feet and directly in front of the center of the front bumper. Look at both the RH and LH cross view mirrors. You should be able to see some portion the edges of the mirror's reflective surface pointed towards you. Crouch down at the entrance door step well. Can you see your reflected image in the convex rear view mirror? Having a good view of the step well area augmented by the convex rearview mirror can prevent the worst accidents. The convex rear view will provide a much larger and more noticeable image of a child in this most dangerous area. The most efficient adjustment of the rear view mirrors will show less than ½" of reflection of the school bus side walls and windows on the inside vertical surface of the mirror. The least amount of school bus that can be seen in the rear view mirrors the better. Just a narrow visual reference of the side of the bus is all that is needed. This will insure that most of mirror surface is available to see more children and cars. Often the cross view mirrors are positioned inwards for compactness at the factory or during delivery. To swing the mirror arms outwards for best visibility down the sides of the bus, the brace arm clamps and the main mounting base clamps should be loosened to allow the arms to swing out board. A typical school bus is generally about 00" wide, so by measuring from outside edge to outside edge of the cross view mirrors you should have a least about 000" for efficient visibility.

Why are you running for office? I was inspired to run for the legislature out of a sense of service to my community. Everything that happens in Augusta impacts everyone in Maine, from the taxes we pay to the education we provide for our children. In my first session I focused on workforce development, job creation and growing Maine's economy. The Speaker of the House selected me as one of only two freshman legislators to serve on a special committee charged to find ways to support and grow our workforce and our economy. My background in small business and education enabled me to be a contributor to the bold and creative solutions that will help jump start our economy and help people gain the education and training they need to make a livable wage. One of the best parts of my job as a legislator has been to assist citizens and small business owners with their individual concerns. It has been a joy to see the positive results in a person's life when I have been able to intervene on their behalf. The people in my district are important to me and I am honored to represent them in Augusta; I will continue to work hard and be their strong voice in Augusta. Health care is a right not a privilege. That's why I support life-saving health care for 00,000 Mainers, including nearly 0,000 veterans. No one should be bankrupt by mounting medical bills when they are sick. Our economy will also see a $0 million per day boost in economic activity, so it's right morally and economically. What, if anything, would you change about welfare?I think the best anti-poverty program is a good job. Mainers deserve leaders who are going to work for economic opportunity for everyone. Though there is no data that Maine has widespread fraud in our welfare programs, fraud in any state program is unacceptable. By how much?No one can live on the current minimum wage and raising it needs to be part of a comprehensive economic program aimed at making Maine's economy work for everyone. Please explain your position on legalization?Maine law recognizes marijuana products for medical use because of their powerful properties to assist patients with serious medical conditions. If we recognize this substance as a medicine, I don't believe we should also legalize its use for "recreation" any more than we do any other medicine.

Why does my battery drain fast when I'm not using the device? Whenever I wake my Transformer up after it has been used for awhile, the amount of charge left in the battery is much lower than I expect. The Transformer is supposed to be in sleep mode, but the battery life has decreased too much for the device to really be sleeping, I feel. The ASUS Download Page can be found here - ASUS T000TA Download Page, in case they update the BIOS again, or you need any of the drivers for your T000. I can honestly say that after a year of use i know all about this.. its areal problem with the T000 out the box. to fix this you need to disable the HIBERFILE, just Google "how to turn off hibernate in Windows 0.0" then delete your HIBERFILE and your good to go, now power off will power off ! Battery charges in about 0 hours and stays charged! I'm running bios 000. When I use Asus Live Update to scan for updates 000 isn't shown as an update. I've read on some postings that 000 is for the computers with a hard drive, but not sure if that is correct. I'm going to stay with 000 since it is working for me. I too was having issues with the battery draining when it was in storage. I only use my T000 occasionally. I changed the settings in "Change what closing the lid does". When it was set to put the computer to sleep on battery when the lid was closed the battery drained. I changed the setting to "shut down" the computer when the power button is used, or the lid is closed while on battery and the battery is now staying charged. Alex Pink 가/이 대단히 고마워 할 것입니다.

Just one of many Leo's lunchtime celebrations to come this semester - National Backwards Day - is currently going on at Leo's. Personally, I was expecting to be totally confused when I walked in, with the pasta line in the normal location of the stir-fry line, and vice versa. But all I found was a cake with "NWOTEGROEG" written on it, some mixed up name tags (Kim the pasta chef was wearing the name Diane), and some pretty tasty meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting. But, I always love it when Leo's spices it up for a little bit of fun in the middle of a dull day of classes. I say, head to Leo's for Backwards Day and try to find some backwards things that I couldn't. Enjoy some meatloaf cupcakes or a smoothie at Stacey's Spot.

Thomas Baldwin reports on the opening of a new community bank in Edinburgh. The actor joined the Rev Iain May at the premises of Castle Community Bank on Great Junction Street in Edinburgh. The minister of South Leith Parish Church used to work for the Royal Bank of Scotland, American Express and Allied Irish Banks. After he entered the ministry, he decided to use his knowledge and expertise to embark on what he calls a "social justice mission" that provides the community with an afordable alternative to payday lenders.

Many people who experience a traumatic event also experience some Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms after the trauma; therefore, this response is considered normal (Resick, Monson, & Chard, 0000b). The difference with individuals who develop clinical levels of PTSD is that they have been unsuccessful in their attempts to incorporate the trauma event into their previously held belief systems. Mr. Brown (not his real name) is a 00 year-old, Caucasian male who has never been married and has no children. Currently, Mr. Brown resides in a Midwestern correctional institution.

We opened this blog because we both love fashion. Both of us spend a massive amount of time in the mornings trying to figure out what to wear. Both of us spend a fortune on clothes when we know we really don't need new ones. Both of us browse through Teen Vogue, read about one party or another and view the outfits and dresses of all the glamorous peole who showed up. Both of us look around the internet and build never-ending wishlists. And true, we're only 00 and most 00-year-olds don't just open their own fashion blog, but we did, and we truly hope you would enjoy it.

Mission Statement: The goal of any business is to be successful but to end it there would be too easy for someone that loves what he does and is very good at it. Diamonds and what came to follow was such a fascination that I realized that the financial success became secondary because even more importantly I love to write about and talk about those pretty little bobbles that are more commonly called diamonds, gems, jewelry, fine watches and glittering metals. In the last 00 years of exposing myself to many people in the business it came to my attention that many of these so-called business people are not interested in the product at all but rather the profit that comes from it. The vast misrepresentation of the many products involved today is rampant and I pride myself in clearly separating myself with accurate information regardless of what I think the outcome will be. Truth will always prevail! At Lovelady Diamond we promise to make your experience as rewarding, professional and timely as possible. After 00 years our experience and knowledge has allowed us to be on the cutting edge of competiveness as buyers and sellers in the industry. With no pressure to buy or sell we just ask for your trust that we've always believed should be earned and not presumed.

I've been fortunate enough to embark on an epic culinary experience, not once or twice but three times at Golf's Restaurant. From the appetizers to the dessert, I could not find fault with the presentation, quality, or level of service. Staff here really know their steak, and especially have the timing down to an art when it comes to bring out each dish. Be prepared to spend upwards of $00+ per person but it's well worth it.

Elephant tourism has long been a feature of trips to Thailand or the Indian subcontinent. Whether it's riding them, washing them in the river, or merely posing with their trunk wrapped around your arm, photos of these magnificent beasts have become such staple of gap yah Instagram accounts that they're almost beyond parody. But while it's easy to laugh at the clichés, there's a much more serious side to the industry. One that's increasingly being laid bare as new research emerges. In 0000 Intrepid Travel worked with World Animal Protection to commission one such report. The findings made for pretty shocking reading, highlighting the systematic abuse by mahout (elephant tamers) upon their elephants in the name of tourism. It found "elephants suffering in terrible conditions, taken young from the wild, separated from their familial groups, broken again and again using sharp hooks and other tools, chained up at night and denied good nutrition," Aaron Hocking, Intrepid Travel's UK managing director, told us. Since 0000, over 000 travel companies, including the big shots like Thomas Cook have slashed elephant rides from their itineraries. And judging from the glut of encouraging articles on Google warning about the dangers of elephant riding, word, at least in the West, is spreading about the objective harm and danger elephants are put through when giving rides. But while there may be heightened awareness, there's also a misconception that things have changed for the better, says Chiara Vitali from World Animal Protection. "There's been a growth of 00 percent in five years of the number of captive elephants in Thailand," she says. "Whilst there has been a modest increase in the number of elephants living in better welfare conditions, this has been overshadowed by the far bigger increase in number of elephants living in poor conditions (probably largely driven by the growth in tourism from countries like China)". To effect change, we must understand that elephant abuse is the result of supply and demand. "If demand dries up, so does the financial incentive," explains Aaron Hocking. "Demand reduction from the public is key to changing policies and practices of both travel companies and the wildlife attractions on the ground," adds Chiara Vitali from World Animal Protection. As well as these international organisations, there has long been a contingent of community figureheads pushing for change. In Thailand, for instance, a country traditionally associated with elephant riding, Lek Chailert has been spearheading a movement towards ethical elephant tourism since the early noughties. She is the founder of the Save The Elephant Foundation, and in 0000 was awarded the Ford Foundation's ‘Hero of the Planet' award. In 0000, Time Magazine named her one of their ‘Heroes of Asia'. The surge in publicity surrounding the welfare of elephants over the last few years has raised the profile of Lek's work, and given it more of an international context. And gratifyingly, she's not alone - others are campaigning for elephant tourism without the harming interactive elements, like elephant riding or elephant bathing, all of which are highly stressful to the animals. In an ideal world, PETA's Elisa explains, "former mahouts can be given priority for employment at these facilities, so there would be no loss of livelihood." As things stand, the quality of life for old-style mahouts is already seriously challenging. "Mahouts receive low pay for a high-risk job, with many suffering injuries and having little financial security," says Aaron Hocking. Abusive elephant handling was, sadly, part and parcel of traditional mahout work. The bull hook has been used to control elephants for hundreds of years, dating back to when elephants were commonly used for logging. However, as Intrepid's Aaron states: "We don't believe tradition is an excuse for elephant riding." And in any case, according to Chiara from World Animal Protection, elephants in tourism are exposed to tougher conditions than they ever were when used for logging: "The rise of an elephant tourism industry is very different from how elephants were traditionally kept," she says. As demand for abusive rides decreases - at least in the West - more mahouts are catching onto the Lek Chailert formula. But there's still more work to do. Much of the effort so far has been led by not-for-profits and tourism protection bodies. "World Animal Protection works closely with leaders within the travel industry to demonstrate the strong demand for elephant-friendly (observation-only) tourism," Chiara Vitali explains. At observation-only attractions like the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, Save The Elephant Foundation and Happy Elephant Valley, animals roam free and aren't shackled up at night. They aren't allowed to be directly interacted with under any circumstances, and under these conditions, older elephants who were privy to abuse are able to thrive in old age. One challenge is the seedy underbelly of ‘ethical' elephant ‘sanctuaries' mistreating elephants but fooling the public into believing they are getting an ethical experience. "It's worth noting that many self-proclaimed "elephant sanctuaries" are nothing more than glorified circuses," insists Elisa from PETA. World Animal Protection takes a slightly more nuanced view. Chiara claims that, at properly ethical sanctuaries, "people can have the incredible experience of watching elephants behave naturally - free from suffering and exploitation". So what's the answer? Well, if you do want to see these majestic creatures, beware of ‘sanctuaries' offering elephant bathing, feeding or riding experiences, or where elephants are confined to tight spaces. If in doubt, steer clear completely. And if any of your friends start posting selfies with the animals? Make sure you mention the elephant in the room. Intrepid Travel organise fairly priced trips combining ethical elephant experiences, visit their website for more information. Adam Bloodworth is a freelance writer, based in London.

One of the many privileges of this job is I get to showcase terrific author who have become friends. Today's another one of those days. Meet Suzanne Rogerson, author of the new novel Visions of Zarua. Suzanne lives in Middlesex, England, and wrote her first novel at the age of twelve. She discovered the fantasy genre in her late teens and has never looked back. Giving up work to raise a family gave her the impetus to take her attempts at novel writing beyond the first draft, and she is lucky enough to have a husband who supports her dream - even if he does occasionally hint that she might think about getting a "proper" job one day. Dan: Welcome! Tell us: who is your target audience, Suzanne? Suzanne: I don't know many people who read fantasy, so I'd hoped to write a story that those unfamiliar with the genre would still enjoy, as well as those of us who already love fantasy. Judging by the reviews so far, I've definitely achieved my aim. Awesome! And what about actually writing that first novel? Many authors struggle with that. Did you? The biggest challenge was getting the structure of the novel right. It's difficult keeping track of a story that straddles two timelines but I was determined that the reader wouldn't be confused at any point. Using the first person perspective for those chapters that were in the past and third person for the rest of the novel really helped to make that transition clear. I loved writing Jago's scenes in first person but it wasn't a viewpoint I'm used to writing in so that too was a challenge. Jago? Sounds interesting. What was the inspiration for the characters in Visions Of Zarua? Good. Then you're doing it right. I get to know their story, their history and their characteristics as I write. Then as they develop I can go back and add in the odd detail or slip in a flashback of their past. It may be a long-winded method that requires more editing, but I love editing so that's not an issue for me. I have tried writing character profiles beforehand, but they are flat and one-dimensional with none of the emotional involvement I get from writing the scenes of the novel. Man, I hate editing. Maybe you can tell me your secret. Meanwhile, did you draw from real life at all while crafting the story? I drew a lot from my love of nature and the outdoors. Having a hunt mistress who is more at home in the wilderness allowed me to add in the little details I love about the natural world, and hopefully made Paltria seem more real to my readers. A hunt mistress? I think I need one of those! Well, you recently started a blog tour. Tell us where and when you'll be appearing and how it's done so far. The best thing by far about the blog tour was the positive response I received from other bloggers. I had originally arranged for a company to run a one day book blitz for me, but that fell through. After the initial disappointment I decided to run my own. Smart. What was that like? I put out the call via my blog and twitter, and within a matter of days had enough yes's to fill two weeks! Holy cow! Why didn't I think of that? I am totally stealing that idea. I'd only planned to run the tour for a week, so I was overwhelmed with the replies. Trying to come up with original content for two weeks was hard, so I settled on using some of my own photography with small excerpts from the book. I was really pleased with the results. The blog tour took a lot of work before and during, so if I did another one, I would do it either before or during the release of my next novel as part of my marketing plan. It zaps too much time away from writing otherwise. Also smart. So? What was your conclusion? Do you recommend blog tours? Wholeheartedly. I've made some new blogging friends and Visions of Zarua has received some great reviews because of it. Fantastic. Give us places to see where you went and where you'll be. Here are the links to all the blogs that were involved in my tour. Give us the blurb and where can my readers get this intriguing book of yours. Smashwords Has a 00% sale. Only $0.00 throughout July. Goodreads Giveaway ends 00th July. Still time to win a signed paperback copy here. Okay, and what else can I bother you for? How about a favorite passage from Visions of Zarua? Varnia took a step towards the trees, but he grabbed her arm. ‘Wait! Let me check it's safe.' Paddren reached out his senses to scan the area and didn't loosen his grip until he was certain no one was waiting to ambush them. Varnia and her hound raced ahead. Flint led them straight to the bushes under the trees, to the exact spot where Paddren imagined Kalesh had focused his energy. ‘Come and look at this,' Varnia called. As he joined her, Varnia shuffled out the way to reveal the disturbed ground she'd been studying. Paddren stared down at the set of huge footprints. Immediately the outline in the soil began to blur. He shut his eyes, but even behind closed lids, the beast was waiting for him... the beast from his nightmares. He snapped his eyes open and looked at Varnia, relieved to see her still examining the footprints. Flint was fighting to get closer, so Varnia let him through. The hound growled as he sniffed the footprints. Flint sniffed the footprints again and then the area around them. With his nose to the ground, he moved further into the trees, working in widening circles until he returned and sat down next to Varnia, whimpering. ‘That's strange, he can't find the scent.' She followed a similar ritual to the dog, searching for a clue Flint's powerful nose might've missed. Paddren leant against the nearest tree and surveyed the clearing while he waited for Varnia to accept there were no other footprints. BRILLIANT! I hope my readers take advantage of your generosity and your helpful blog tour information. (I know I will.) Thanks so much for dropping by! Suzanne Rogerson loves gardening and has a Hebe (shrub) fetish. She enjoys cooking with ingredients from the garden, and regularly feeds unsuspecting guests vegetable-based cakes. Give her book a look! Thanks for featuring me, Dan. It's been a pleasure. It was my pleasure! Wishing you continued success with the book! She will be psyched to hear that! Thanks!

The people of Carmine pull together in service to their neighbors throughout the year. One of the main events of the year in Carmine is the annual Firemen's Feast. This fundraising event helps cover the cost of providing a fire department for this community. There are large numbers of people who give of their time, energy and resources to make this event happen each year. In order to provide a time of worship on Sunday morning for these faithful servants MLLC brings church to them. A brief worship service with Holy Communion will be offered this Sunday, July 00, at about 0:00 a.m. at the Carmine VFD fire house. (We will also gather at MLLC for our usual time of worship at 0:00 a.m. this Sunday.) All people who will be serving at the Firemen's Feast Sunday morning are especially invited to participate in this time of prayer, Word and Sacrament. We are expecting 00+ participants this year. Most of the people at this service are the cooks for the chicken, but the service is not limited to those at the firehouse. If you are going to be working at the dinner at Carmine Hall, please feel free to attend this 0:00 a.m. service at the Fire Station before you head over to prepare the hall for serving. The photo above is from last year's service.

This paper addresses the emerging common movement toward proactive asset management for the nation's infrastructure, in particular the water resources infrastructure (water, wastewater, and storm water treatment facilities, collection and distribution systems). Following decades of original capital investment, we now face a mounting financial burden to sustain that infrastructure. Appropriate renewal of assets before reaching "dire-need" is the objective of proactive asset management. Failure to renew the infrastructure will lead to greater violations of water quality standards and greater costs for appropriate mitigation. The job must begin now if the water resources infrastructure is to be sustained or improved to an appropriate level of quality. But, specifically what is to be done, in what order, by whom, and who pays for it? While many managers take the position that they must wait until circumstances are more favorable, the fact is that circumstances might not improve significantly. So, what to do?

Five years ago, a tropical depression formed in the Atlantic and began moving towards Florida. Later, it would become one of the worst hurricanes to hit the United States. On the day that the hurricane hit the Gulf Coast, my friend and colleague left Baghdad to return home. I watched her drive off into the hot, dusty Iraqi afternoon, went back inside to the tent that we had shared for a month. Her cot was empty. So was my heart. It was tough enough being embedded with the U.S. Army. But to do it solo, in the middle of a raging war? I began to feel sorry for myself until I heard the news from Louisiana. The next day, at the Camp Striker chow hall, I ran into Louisiana National Guard soldiers. The 000th Infantry Brigade Combat Team had been at war for a year, based at nearby Camp Liberty. They called their pad Tigerland. They had lost about 00 men. Each day, they had smelled the acrid fumes of bombs and ammunition, seen the worst of humanity. They were exhausted and so ready to go home. It should have been a happy few last days. Instead, it turned wretchedly bittersweet. They could not take their eyes off the television screens. Image after image of New Orleans under a 00-foot wall of water. One soldier recognized his block in the lower 0th ward; even thought he saw his house, just the rooftop visible in the footage. The excitement quickly turned to dread on his face. He sat stone cold at the table, not being able to say anything for a few minutes. Then: "Well, that's where I used to live," he said, running off to the AT&T phone trailer to see if he could check on his mama. I am sure his effort was in vain. New Orleans was dark. No lights, no phones. Nothing. Many of them wanted to get on a plane that instant so they could help their fellow Guardsmen with rescue efforts. In their last days in Iraq, a guilt gnawed at their hearts. Some felt lucky to be in Iraq. Life seemed like a series of terrible ironies at that moment. So cruel and unfair. I crawled back into my tent that night no longer wallowing in my loneliness. Just grateful to be have a home back in Atlanta. Grateful to be alive. I read a story on Slate a few days ago about the same brigade, back in Iraq, back in the chow hall glued to the TV screens. Only this time, it was oil instead of water.

After two games at the 0000 World Cup, Argentina was in serious trouble. With an aging team that lacked world class defenders, the Albiceleste managed just a draw with Iceland while eventual World Cup finalists Croatia reminded Argentina what it used to have in midfield with a dominating 0-0 win. The defeat put Argentina in a precarious position, needing a win on the final group stage day and some luck to go through into the knockout stage past Nigeria and Iceland. Now, a new book by Argentine journalist Ariel Senosiain could shed some light on what happened between the match against Croatia and Nigeria. According to Senosian's digital book, called El Mundial es Historias, Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano ordered a meeting with manager Jorge Sampaoli and his coaching staff, and it did not go down well. Messi was reportedly also upset with Sampaoli for the manager asking Messi who he thought should come on as a substitute during the match. "You asked me 00 times which players you wanted me to see on and which ones I didn't and I never gave you a name," Messi reportedly said. In the days following the defeat to Croatia, many reports emerged out of the Argentina camp that Messi had essentially organized a mutiny, and he was going to select the squad and tactical instructions. The team made the switch from a three-man backline to a more standard 0-0-0, and it delivered some better performances, even though Argentina's defense was still shambolic, especially in the 0-0 defeat to France. With 00 members of the 00-man roster over the age of 00 and no head coach, the Argentina National Team is set for a huge upheavel, and there's not much in terms of youth players who could replace the likes of Mascherano, Banega, Otamendi and of course Messi and Sergio Aguero in the lineup. These alleged quotes are just the beginning of what should be a messy year for Argentina, as it tries to get itself back on track, renewing its youth development and forming the next generation of Albiceleste stars.

Fred and Jam are reunited and ready to kick off more consistent retro content, albeit this one is only half retro. In this spoileriffic comparison podcast, the two delve into the development and content of the scrapped version of Resident Evil 0, dubbed Resident Evil 0.0 by the Internet, as well as the original full blown release. Then they move over to comparing the quality and content in this new remake. It's a long ride and it's highly recommended that you play the games first, but sit back and enjoy a horrifying trip through the Raccoon City police department and beyond. Something tells me if I ever play a RE game outside of 0, it will be the original 0, not this remake. From what I can tell by how Fred described the story, that "heart wrenching emotional family drama" was written by someone who never ever went through that himself, and was instead inspired by Hollywood movies. I reject on principle any story that does not feel genuinely human.

We visited Sagano & Arashiyama for strolling. It not only bamboo forest, but also store signs and menu, the scenery of town, everything was new. Our students could see the different angle of Kyoto from what they have already learned. They looked very tired of strolling around the area in the hot weather. Take good rest today and get the school days after fresh! We visited Shugakuin Imperial Villa and were divided into two groups to stroll. We really enjoyed the beautiful garden which is one of the examples representative of Japanese gardens. Visiting the garden in the fall or winter makes different impression. Why not give it a try again on some holiday? The summer short term course begins on July 00. Here the calendar and the schedule of weekly field trips & other attractive summer events are as the below. Let's enjoy your summer with studying Japanese and experiencing historical events in Kyoto!

You wouldn't know that Case, who spends hours speeding up and down the ice at hockey practice, was anything other than an active little boy. But soon after he was born in 0000, his mother Leslie Haberstroh knew something wasn't right. He couldn't hold down his baby formula, and he was unable to pass his newborn stool or meconium. "It was the typical signs of Hirschsprung's or a blockage," said Leslie. Case was soon sent to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh where he underwent a biopsy under the care of a team of doctors. After surgery, Case spent 0 weeks recovering in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The doctors wanted to ensure that everything had gone properly with the procedure, that his intestines didn't twist, and that he could keep formula down. After passing these tests, baby Case was sent home. Three months later, Case returned to UPMC Children's for a second surgery called a pull-through. Since then, he hasn't had any operations and only takes medication on an as-needed basis. Case participated in a research study at UPMC Children's for nearly eight years in order to help other children with Hirschsprung's disease. Case's symptoms didn't disappear totally, however. He still experiences abdominal discomfort, especially after eating. Still, Case says lunch is one of his favorite subjects at school. The discomfort, however, can cause missed class time, leaving him behind on instruction. Luckily, a few helpful teachers and Case's determination to do well and keep up with his brother have allowed him to reach his goals. Both Case and Leslie know how hard it can be to send a young Hirschsprung's patient off to school. That's why Leslie wanted to raise awareness and offer support to families who were experiencing the same thing that she went through a few years earlier. The Haberstroh family wanted to raise awareness about Hirschsprung's and offer support to other families who have children with the disease. To do this, Case decided to bring together hockey and Hirschsprung's, two things close to his heart. In September 0000, the Haberstroh family organized the first annual "Hockey for Hirschsprung's" youth ice hockey tournament. The goal was to raise awareness, raise money, and inspire other kids. Case wanted to show that it is possible to lead a normal life with the disease. "I can do lots of stuff that all my other friends can do," Case said. The week-long event at the Belmont Complex in West Kittanning attracted 00 amateur teams for a round-robin tournament. The winners were presented with ice-like medals and a banner. The first annual event raised $0,000 for the Colorectal Center for Children. "I felt pretty good that I could give money to kids [with Hirschsprung's]," said Case. Overall, the tournament was a success. The Haberstroh clan connected with 0 other families that had young kids with Hirschsprung's. They shared tips and advice, but most importantly support. "So much support came out of this," Leslie said. The 0nd Annual Hockey For Hirschsprung's tournament is scheduled for August 00-00 & September 0-0, 0000 and is now fielding 00 teams. Today, the hockey-loving teenager gets more ice time than hospital time, and he and his family have turned their love of the sport in to a chance to help other children suffering from Hirschsprung's. In the future, Case hopes to go to a "good college" and play on their hockey team. His mother Leslie knows that "whatever he does, he will be successful. He's very driven." These days, nothing seems to be holding Case back. For an appointment or consultation, Contact the Colorectal Center for Children.

I hope they serve beer in hell is a book that stats almost all the terrible things and great things that can come out of engaging yourself in a lot of drinking. The main character Tucker Max is a great writer. I mostly enjoying reading his books because he tells the truth. Every story he writes is completely true and thats what makes hims so hilarious. If it wasnt true then it wouldnt be as funny, but knowing that some of the things he says happens is what really makes the story.

Our best selling shape and style of bag is the bucket, so far. Comes in four lovely colours: burgundy, black, navy and grey. We made this mini one because it is really cute. It fits your phone, your keys, your wallet and a lip gloss. The exterior is 00.00 oz waxed cotton canvas and it is lined with water repellent nylon. The toggles are super handy and easy to use. The top handle is made of a reflective paracord just because details like that make us happy.

The internet as we know today has become very generic. Although that is has become an incredible tool giving the possibility to millions of internet users worldwide to search any and all kind of information, there is a lot of confusing and malicious information that is available. Consequently, it has become more and more difficult for companies and brand owners to differentiate themselves in the eyes of the internet user from the other of millions of domain names that have no primary or secondary meaning. In many cases internet users do not really know anymore whether they are dealing with a true company with all kinds of negative experiences as a result Also if you look at some of existing gTLDs that were set up with an initial purpose to serve the corporate market, you can see that that purpose has diluted. With .ltd TLD we as the Applicant want to change that experience, bringing back the true meaning of a specific TLD that will allow companies that are registered within a specific region to be able to register their company names within the .ltd TLD, making it clearer for the user that he is dealing with the corporate market. As such, this specific TLD will provide companies the opportunity to differentiate themselves from any other TLD due to the fact that the Applicant will ensure and enhance restricted policies (i.e. only companies registered within the Commonwealth countries, Ireland, China, Hong Kong and⁄or Brazil will be allowed to apply for a domain name). The result will be a genuine, safe and secure TLD that will not tolerate any abuses or misuse of domain names or websites and will ensure that all companies that apply for a domain name do indeed meet the requirements of the policies as laid down by the Applicant. In addition companies that were not entitled to register their company names as a domain name due to unavailability will now have the opportunity to do so. In addition, the Applicant is convinced that an .ltd TLD will be an added value to the internet community as a whole and to the internet user in specific. As the internet domain space- as we know today- will entirely change the internet users will search the internet on a whole different level. The internet will no longer exist primarily of ".com" domain names, but the domain name space will become more segregated. Consequently, the Applicant truly believes that the .ltd TLD will provide an added value by setting up and managing a TLD that will only allow companies that are registered in the Commonwealth countries, Ireland, China, Hong Kong and⁄or Brazil to apply for a domain name. The Applicant wants to ensure that all registrants have a link within the TLD, as the term ʺltdʺ is used by the majority of companies that are registered under the laws and regulations of Commonwealth countries, Ireland, China, Hong Kong and⁄or Brazil.

Holy abseiling Batman - this is a long way up! The new Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital in Eastern Road had some very special visitors this weekend. The hospital which was previously located in Dyke Road, opened in June this year and is a state-of-the-art design costing £00 million. It is one of only seven dedicated to paediatric care in the UK. The nine-storey building has been designed in the shape of an ark and includes beds for up to 000 patients, 00 outpatient consulting rooms, three operating theatres and a cancer care day centre. So imagine everyone's surprise, not least of all the young patients in the wards, when Batman and Robin were to be seen abseiling up the walls. Batman (aka Ian Mitchell) and his trusty side-kick Robin (aka Wayne Ascott) are part of the maintence company that keep the building ‘ship shape'. They dressed up for the day just to give the children a treat and make them smile. Well done the dynamic duo.

Extract from Escott Reid's new book Strengthening the World Bank being published in September by the Adlai Stevenson Institute, Chicago, III., U.S.A., $0.00, £0, or Rs. 00. Mr. Reid was director of the South Asia and Middle East Department of the World Bank from 0000 to 0000. "There is general agreement that the purpose of aid from the World Bank Group and other agencies is to make it easier for the governments of developing countries to pursue sensible development policies. The disagreement is over who is to be the arbiter of what are and what are not sensible development policies. There are two extreme theoretical positions. One is that the government of the poorer country should be the sole arbiter; that it alone can be considered by an international agency or by another government as the interpreter of the country's system of values and development priorities, its social goals, and the aspirations of its people; that aid agencies must not question that government's decisions but must assist it to carry them out expeditiously and efficiently. The other extreme position is that the aid agencies know what is best. "Neither of these two positions will come within the scope of practical politics in the foreseeable future. Both of them are non-starters. Until aid on concessional terms can be financed largely from sources other than taxes imposed by the governments of rich countries on their citizens, these governments will be compelled by the realities of the domestic political process to adopt policies on aid which will enable them to convince the taxpayers that they are making reasonable efforts to ensure that the aid financed out of their taxes is being well used. This applies to their own bilateral aid programs and to the multilateral agencies they contribute to, such as the World Bank Group, the regional banks, and the UN Development Program. As for the other extreme position, sentiment in the poorer countries limits both the willingness and the ability of their governments to accept intervention by aid agencies in their affairs. They are compelled by the realities of their domestic political processes to adopt policies which enable them to assure their citizens that they are not sacrificing the independence of their country in return for aid. "Proponents of all the schools of thought on international aid are compelled to accept, however reluctantly, the need to apply some system of rationing to the flow of aid money, since this money is scarce, and the softer it is the scarcer it is.... "What is at issue is not the need to establish a rationing system but the nature of the rationing system and, in particular, the extent of intervention in the affairs of aid-receiving countries which it entails. Those, both in the poorer countries and in the rich countries, who favor a relatively high level of intervention... believe, however, that aid agencies should limit their intervention to broad and central aspects of development policy, and express opinions on these only after penetrating investigation. Aid agencies, in striving to come to agreement with the poorer country, should make all reasonable concessions to reach agreement. If a reasonable compromise cannot be reached, the agencies should, in the interest of the poorer country, substantially reduce the flow of aid. Those who favor intervention ask whether it is to the advantage of the people of an aid-receiving country that aid agencies accept the development priorities of the government even when it is obvious that the government is assigning high priority to prestige projects which promise less economic and social returns than other, less ostentatious, projects.... "Many who would most vehemently deny that they are interventionists believe that since international efforts to help developing countries will be of no avail unless those countries make major changes in their political, social, and economic policies and institutions, aid should depend on the extent to which a country meets such performance criteria as equitable income distribution, land and tax reforms, effective trade and exchange rate policies, limitation of military expenditures, and the promotion of social justice.... Excerpts from a speech by Richard H. Demuth. Chairman of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, to the Association of Directors of International Agriculture Programs in Raleigh, N.C., U.S.A., June 00, 0000. "In the early days of the postwar development assistance effort, it was the conventional wisdom that what the developing countries needed to modernize their agriculture was not so much additional research as the organization of adequate extension services which could deliver to the farmers of the Third World the scientific expertise already available in the developed world. It was assumed that appropriate technology already existed that could be readily transferred from north to south. Experience has shown that, to a large extent, this was a false assumption - in other words, that appropriate agricultural production technologies for the poorer countries must for the most part be developed within and not outside the ecological zones in which those countries lie. "This meant emphasizing research and training within the Third World. A good deal of effort was then put, and is still being put, into the development of strong national research programs - and in a few countries notable progress has been made: Mexico, Colombia, Chile, India, and Thailand are outstanding examples. But moving on a country-by-country basis, particularly with the limited human and financial resources available, promised to be a slow procedure, wholly inadequate to the urgency of the world's food production needs. "So, under the leadership of the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, an alternative strategy was developed: namely, to assemble a critical mass of scientific talent in a few places within the Third World to launch a multidisciplinary attack sharply focused upon the most urgent technological problems facing agricultural production in the developin countries. The international agricultural research and training center was the means devised to implement this alternative strategy. "The family of international centers now numbers six, with one associate member. The full members of the family are the International Rica Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines; the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico; the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), for the lowland tropics of Africa, in Nigeria; the International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), for the lowland tropics of Latin America, in Colombia; the International Potato Center (CIP) in Peru; and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), with special responsibility for sorghums, millets, chick peas, and pigeon peas, in India. The "associate" member of the family is the Asian Vegetable Research Center located in Taiwan. "The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research was formed in 0000, when it became clear that the base of both financial and technical support for the centers need to be broadened beyond the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations and the U.S. and Canadian Governments which, up to then, had provided almost all the finance and back-stopping. The basic purpose of the Consultative Group, which is co-sponsored by the FAO, IBRD, and UNDP, is to mobilize such broadened support. Essentially, it seeks agreement among its members as to what agricultural research programs should be considered as having priority in the allocation of scarce development assistance funds, on the extent of the funds which should be provided each year, and on how the burden of financing might be shared. As a result of invitations issued by the three co-sponsors, some 00 donor governments, 0 international and regional development assistance agencies, and 0 private and public foundations have become members of the Group. The Group also has as members 00 developing countries, representing the 0 major developing regions of the world; these 00 LDC's among them occupy 0 seats at the Consultative Group table. In its mixed composition of public and private organizations, of donor and recipient countries, and of regional and international agencies, the Consultative Group is a unique institution. "The Consultative Group has no funds of its own nor has it any authority to make decisions binding on its members. Yet, despite these limitations and despite the size and diversity of its membership, the Group has thus far succeeded in reaching very general agreement on the issues with which it has grappled. Perhaps the best indication of this is that funding for the international centers rose from $0 million for 0000 to $00 million for 0000 and to about $00 million for 0000. In addition, ICRISAT was created in 0000 under the aegis of the Consultative Group and this year is likely to see the addition of a seventh member of the family - ILRAD - an International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases, to be located near Nairobi in Kenya. "To the extent that the Consultative Group has been successful thus far, it is due, in my judgment, principally to two factors. The first is the existence of an excellent Technical Advisory Committee, popularly known as TAC, composed of six scientists from the developed countries and six from the developing countries, who meet under the chairmanship of Sir John Crawford of Australia. The TAC, the Secretariat for which is provided by FAO, considers the technical merits and priority of all proposals put forward for Consultative Group financing, and advises the Group on the principal research gaps which it believes need to be filled. The second factor is more elusive to define - but essentially it is that almost all the members of the Group are enthusiastic about the international center approach. The Group's meeting are therefore singularly free of debate for the sake of debate, and are instead devoted to a common effort to find practical and constructive solutions. Agreement has been reached on such matters as having a single review conducted on behalf of the donors by the Consultative Group staff of the progress of each center in carrying out its approved program and in living within its budget; arranging for each center to have its program of research reviewed periodically by external panels of outstanding scientistis; helping the centers to present their budgets in a more or less uniform manner, so that meaningful comparisons can be made; and arranging for an appropriate division of labor as among the centers, so that there will be no unnecessary or undesirable duplication of work. Most importantly, of course, the Consultative Group, with the assistance of TAC, must seek agreement on what new or expanded programs should be supported. In addition to the agreement to set up an animal disease laboratory (ILRAD) in Kenya, there is near-agreement on setting up an overall International Livestock Center for Africa (ILCA), probably to be headquartered in Ethiopia, which, if established, would eventually absorb ILRAD as an integral part of its operations. The problems of the Middle East are also receiving attention; a mission organized by TAC has just returned from an investigation of the major constraints on agricultural production in that area and will shortly be reporting to TAC its view on whether an international research center would be an effective way of seeking to remove those constraints. The TAC also has under review, among other things, the desirability of promoting additional research on upland (rainfed) rice, probably as an extension of IRRI'S activities; of establishing relay stations for ICRISAT in the semi-arid zones of Africa; of expanding the research work now being done on food legumes; and of the possible utility of an intenational research center on aquaculture. Let me conclude with a few words of speculation as to the future. My firm belief is that we are only at the beginning of a very considerable effort. The Chairman of TAC made an informed estimate in 0000 that, by the late 0000's, total financial requirements for programs which should be supported by the Group might well reach a level of about $00 million a year: $00 million for the core and capital requirements of the centers themselves and another $00 million for outreach. (Outreach is primarily working with national research programs in adapting to local conditions the research findings of a center.) This estimate envisages an international effort about twice its present size. I am inclined to think that, if anything, the estimate may be on the low side, particularly for outreach. Excerpts from an address, given by Pierre-Paul Schweitzer, Managing Director of the Fund, to the American Philosophical Society, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., on April 00. "In a situation in which there are conflicts of views between major countries, the power of an institution like the Fund to deal with such conflicts quickly and flexibly depends to a large extent on the nature of its decision-making process. In an institution which confers financial rights and responsibilities, it is almost inevitable that there will be weighted voting. Not to acknowledge relative economic strength would be patently unrealistic. It is also probably essential to have qualified majorities for certain important categories of decision. The creation of special drawing rights, for example, needs a majority of eighty-five percent. "The reluctance of countries to accept limitations on sovereignty is not, of course, peculiar to the monetary sphere. Nearly all international institutions find difficulty in preserving their authority in situations where their rules and procedures come into conflict with what their members regard as vital national interests. In the field of international financial relations, the types of problems which began to present themselves in recent years were simply not adequately catered for in the Articles of Agreement. For a while, of course, inappropriate rules can be made to work by constitutional interpretation. But there comes a point when rules cannot be patched up any more, and then they simply stop being observed. "However, as experience is demonstrating, the vulnerability of a system without clear and accepted rules makes it uncomfortable to live with for any extended length of time. There is always the worrying feeling that unwise policies on the part of individual countries might spark a retaliatory move that could trigger off a vicious spiral of restrictions and declining world trade. "The desire to have an internationally agreed and accepted new set of rules has been widely voiced, and has found expression in a number of resolutions of international bodies, particularly of the Fund itself. The world community, through the Fund, is presently engaged in what will certainly be the difficult task of drawing up this new set of rules. "It is possible to see in general terms the conditions, both economic and political, which will have to be met, if the new system is to be successful. "From an economic point of view it is important to promote the objective of a free trading environment. This means that countries must eschew placing restrictions on certain kinds of trade and payments by unilateral action. Although we cannot expect to move immediately to a world free of all restrictions, whatever restrictions are imposed should be justified on the basis of some internationally accepted criteria, subject to the scrutiny of the international community, and approved by some international regulatory authority. "The next prerequisite is that traders and investors should be able to use resources which they earn in one currency to make payments or investments in another currency. This is sometimes referred to as the convertibility of currencies. Convertibility is a term that is used with two somewhat different meanings. In a general sense, it means that there should exist a network of markets where traders can exchange currencies, free of administrative restrictions on the currencies or the amounts in which they deal. In the more technical sense in which it is usually used by monetary experts, it means that governments should establish an agreed value for their national currency and stand ready to buy and sell it at the fixed price against some agreed international reserve asset. Now clearly, convertibility in the general sense does not depend directly on convertibility in the technical sense. And since it is convertibility in the general sense that is important for international trade and investment, it could well be asked whether we could not live without convertibility in the technical sense. "Many economists, it must be admitted, believe we can, and indeed many major currencies are inconvertible in the technical sense at the present time. But if such inconvertibility should be prolonged and should give rise to additional uncertainties and risks, private traders and investors would probably be less willing to engage in international transactions. The monetary system would then have failed in its objective to create the best environment for the international interchange of resources. And if individual countries, having no fixed par value for their currency to which they are committed, try to influence their exchange rates in mutually incompatible ways, we run the risk of sliding back into a destructive spiral of measures which would not only hamper the growth of world trade, but could produce political frictions as well. "Acceptance of official convertibility as an objective implies the next prerequisite of a new monetary order: agreement on the form in which the international reserves which give effect to convertibility should be created and held. The important initial step of delegating to an international body authority over the creation of purchasing power has already been taken in the establishment of the special drawing right facility within the Fund. This is one area in which there is a strong consensus that there should be international decision making. It is widely agreed that reserve creation should be under deliberate international control, and not subject to haphazard influences such as the supply of gold or the state of the balance of payments of the United States or any other major country. "Increases and reductions in international reserve assets are the means whereby countries can meet deficits and surpluses in their balance of payments without imposing restrictions or abandoning convertibility. But international reserves cannot be expected to be unlimited. Another prerequisite for the international monetary system, therefore, is that it should have some mechanism to ensure that the relative values of currencies do not get out of line with basic or underlying forces of supply and demand. Since no country can influence the value of its currency in world markets without simultaneously affecting the currencies of its trading partners, this is another area in which international rules or understandings must qualify national discretion. "We have learned a number of lessons from postwar experience which at least point to the broad lines of how responsibility should be divided in this matter. We know that countries will not accept a system that, in the name of international balance, requires them to follow policies that are seriously at odds with their domestic objectives in the realm of employment or price stability. We know that, by and large, they find it easier to live with some agreed conception of what relative exchange rates should be, rather than to allow currencies to float in an uncoordinated way. And we know that a system in which the burden of adjustment is not equitably shared between surplus and deficit countries produces strains and frictions which may be political as well as economic. "It is tempting, of course, to make precise rules which specify that if a country experiences such and such a development, e.g., a prescribed deficit or surplus, in its balance of payments, such and such a consequence should follow. The difficulty is that such a system would almost certainly be too inflexible in operation to be either acceptable or appropriate. Given this, I expect that the new rules will provide for a greater degree of consultation and cooperation in the framing of what I have called adjustment policies, with mandatory provision being invoked only after continued failure to reach agreed solutions. "It should be apparent from what I have already said that a successful reform of the international monetary system will inevitably mean that countries will have to submerge a considerable amount of national sovereignty in an internationally agreed and administered system of rules. But we have reached a stage in our understanding of the nature of economic interdependence where I believe countries are prepared to take a significant step forward in internationalizing decision taking. "There is a willingness to acknowledge international authority provided it is not exercised in such a way as to come into direct conflict with what individual nations regard as their vital interests. For example, simply to outlaw exchange restrictions would risk being counterproductive unless action is also taken to remove the circumstances in which countries might wish to introduce restrictions. This means that the range of policies permitted to members to deal with balance of payments difficulties must be wide enough to ensure success without recourse to restrictions. Fund Activities covers member countries' use of Fund facilities, actions of the Executive Directors, and efforts toward reform of the international monetary system. Brief Notes, from a variety of official and unofficial sources, places the Fund's activities in the wider context of world economic and financial developments. National Economies draws on work of the Fund's area departments to describe economic developments in member countries. Selected Topics carries general articles from the Fund staff and other sources. Subjects include exchange rates and restrictions, international liquidity, monetary reform, activities of regional financial institutions, trade, and taxes. To subscribe, mail the coupon below.

Fabulous Fyst Double Review Disclaimer! - I watched the Blu-Ray version of this season, and the TV version of the second. Also, I wrote the first review before watching the second season. I just didn't post it, because school things, ok? ok. Here we go. The Introduction - Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai is a show about a boy Kodaka who has naturally blond hair, and a mean looking face transferring to a new school. His appearance and inability to socialize because of it keeps him from making a single friend. One day he overhears a girl talking to herself, and finds himself stumbling into the Neighbors club a club with the sole goal of making new friends! The Neighbors Club becomes a fun collection of misfits whose activities make up this show. The Fabulous - The humor and character interaction elevate this show from just a regular harem styled anime to another level. It levies the social inadequacies that the members of this club have for some great laughs, but importantly it doesn't ever make you feel like you're laughing at these people which is great. The relationship between Yozora and Sena in particular is great and rich with material that the show exploits. The other thing that this show does well is it's side characters, especially Sena's father who's used for quite a few good laughs. Nice variation of tropes and some light deconstruction of the genre, makes for a pretty good watch. The Meh - The fan service in the version I watched was pretty out of control in a few episodes. It was only a couple of episodes, but when it showed up boy was I surprised! Maria the club's advisor is given almost nothing to do throughout this season other than eat and say "poop" or "poopy vampire" or something else poop related. which had it's moments, but meh. The Unfabulous - Kodaka is dense. Like seriously dense. It's almost as if it's intentional. Oh and sometimes I have a disconnect with the characters, I find myself thinking "you don't need to be popular or have friends to do this, you guys are just being stupid." The ending didn't feel satisfying at all. They must have known they were going to be getting a second season, but if I were watching this live I would have been so pissed. The Introduction - Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Next continues the adventures of The Neighbors Club. More craziness comes to light and we learn some revealing backstory for some of the cast. This season dips it's toes into a little more serious tone, but only slightly. The change is nice for some of the subtext that was placed into the first season. The big highlight of the season is that the club is making a movie for their cultural festival. The Fabulous - The humor and character interaction are still the highlights of the show, but this time it's not Yozora and Sena that steal the show, it's Rika. She is now one of my favorite characters in a rom-com ever. It was good to see a character behave like a real person would (Rika, act normal, what are you talking about?) Rika puts on a mask, and behaves differently around everyone else, except for when she's alone with Kodaka in order to protect herself. And she's brutally honest with him, which because he's dense is a good thing. Too bad she's not one of the main two heroines, I think she should be the one he ends up with. Some of the other characters do well in this season as well. Sena and Yukimura (Who I don't think I mentioned at all in the previous review, but I don't want to spoil anything) get great parts. The Meh - Maria is still one dimensional, while one of the main two heroines feels under used this season, Yozora felt stagnant for as big of a role as she had in season one. Some of the episodes felt rehashed from the previous season with tweaks to what was going on. Where I could see them saying the differences highlight the differences in the characters as they grow, it felt recycled more than once. The Unfabulous - Again the ending didn't feel satisfying at all. This is becoming a trend with this show, but I must say it's better than the first one, but it clearly isn't the end this series deserves. I wonder if a third season is coming? The Conclusion - This was a somewhat more serious season and some of the revelations in the final few episodes seriously surprised me. (Rika, looking at you) I think I enjoyed the humor more in season one and the characters more in season two. I give this season 0/0 trains as well.

No. This is a clean model. There are no hidden or success fees due by the inventor or the seeker to inventoo. QUESTION FROM INVENTORS: Will I be contacted by a company seeking innovation? You can expect to be contacted, yes. It mostly depends on your inventoo quality ad and on the invention potential/opportunity that you are promoting. QUESTION FROM SEEKER: After I buy one or multiple inventors' contacts, am I expected to contact them and are they expecting to be contacted? Buying a contact is your decision to access the person behind the invention to establish contact and potentially make business. You contact who you want, if you want and when you want.

The Harvey Gillingham Salvers were played for at East Devon Golf Club, writes Paul Willoughby. Played in fours, this was a pairs, better-ball Stableford from the white tees with 00 per cent handicap allowance. Wossat? You play in pairs and the better ball is scored. OK? For some, the extra ingredient of playing with a partner adds a spark to the game and the leading sparkling exponents of the competition were father and son team, Paul and Robin Murray, who won the Salvers with a stunning net 00. Well done, Murrays. Second was the team of Tony Beck and Robert Barnes with a net score of 00 and third were Julian Turnbull and Bill Peaker with 00. Also in the prizes were Donald Peek and Alastair Mackenzie-Ross, also with 00. There were 00 pairs and twelve had twos; Guy Peters and David Blick both has two of them at the fourth and the 00th. Well done all.

Video, Tel-Rumeida, Hebron. Jan. 0, 0000. By Youth Against Settlements. The plundering of Palestine continues. Under the guise of archaeological digs, what the Defense Ministry's Civil Administration cynically calls "rescue evacuations," Israel is expanding its settlement in the heart of Hebron to include the ancient site of Tel Rumeida. The settlers depict the dig as free of any political influence. But like any project carried out in the territories in general and Hebron in particular, the dig is above all a political act. It is an expansion of the Jewish hold on the heart of the West Bank's most explosive Palestinian city and it follows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's declaration of opposition to the relocation of its Jewish settlement. In recent years the West Bank settlers have discovered the hidden benefits of archaeology. This ostensibly neutral discipline allows them to expropriate not only territory but also its historical narrative, fixing it in place from the Jewish perspective while disregarding other archaeological strata and cultures. The authorities - from the Israel Antiquities Authority to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, from the Israel Defense Forces to the Prime Minister's Office - happily cooperate. ..... Israeli authorities have declared as archaeological sites places that have served the Palestinian residents for years. The political use of finds is not new to Israeli archaeology, which to a great extent owes its beginnings to the need for physical proof of the Jewish claim to the land. But over the years, with the strengthening of the state, archaeology has shed its political dictates and become more professional. The right's political exploitation of archaeology not only jeopardizes U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts to forge a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians but also threatens to turn the discipline itself from a scientific tool into a mouthpiece for propaganda. The excavations began last Sunday. The video above was recorded by Youth Against Settlements and downloaded on YouTube the same day. Titled "new settlements in Hebron" and the location is Tel-Rumieda. See the soldiers arresting and dragging people away, with settlers ready and waiting. Hebron is so pointless. It's like iron age Judaism. "I continued to feel helpless, but I also felt I had to do something. I started carrying boxes of produce out of the way of the bulldozers. I saved maybe 00 crates of produce from being crushed. I began confronting soldiers. In a loud voice, I asked them if they were proud of what they were doing, if this is peace, if this is what they want Israel to become. I shouted, "Baruch hashem Adonai" (Blessed be the name of the Lord). The soldiers tried their best to ignore me, but I am sure they heard me. I ignored their commands for me to leave. One soldier spit at me, so I walked right up to him and invited him to spit on me. He declined the offer. Three soldiers aimed their guns at and moved toward a group of Palestinian bystanders. It looked to me like they were going to shoot. I quickly jumped in front of the soldiers, raised my hands in the air and shouted, "Shoot me, shoot me, go ahead and shoot me." The soldiers immediately left. A tank came roaring toward me, its big gun barrel aimed at me. I raised my hands in the air in prayer, and shouted, "Shoot, shoot, Baruch hashem adonai." The tank stopped within inches of me. I then knelt in the street in prayer, with my hands raised. I felt alone, weak, helpless. I could only cry out to God. Later this afternoon I went back to Al Manara and watched shop owners dig through the huge piles of rubble, trying to salvage what they could. What could I say? The Israeli military had put all of Hebron under total curfew today, saying they were looking for terrorists. Now I wonder if there really were terrorists hidden among the apples and oranges. Or, are the Israeli soldiers committing acts of terrorism against the civilian population of Hebron? ‘The petals of trying to achieve peace' - Kerry does have that faded look sometimes.
