J. River Media Center includes several servers.
Library Server, formerly called Media Server, can serve a media collection on one PC, so it can be played with another copy of MC on another PC anywhere on the Internet.
DLNA Server can serve MC's library to a DLNA or UPnP device. See also UPnP Server for older versions of MC.
MC14 terminology for UPnP was changed to DLNA / UPnP, and in MC15 to DLNA Server. DLNA and UPnP are similar but not identical protocols.
MC15 replaced Remote Server with the more graphical WebRemote.
Tivo Server can serve MC's library to a TiVo.
Configuration moved to Options/Network in MC15.
Formerly, configuration was located in MC's tree, under Services and Plug-ins.
Under Servers and Plugins in the tree, you will find DLNA Server, where logging can be seen for both DLNA and Library Server.
Media Server
Media Server is a small program that runs in the background. It can be set to start with Windows Startup under Tools/Options/Startup/Windows Startup. Media Server can start other servers when they are needed. It appears in the lower right corner of the desktop, and it will show up in the task manager as Media Center. It was introduced in MC12.
Several older servers have been retired and replaced.
Remote Server was replaced with the more graphical WebRemote in MC15. Remote Server was a small web server built into MC, and allows MC to be controlled from a web browser running on another PC.
UPnP Server was folded into the DLNA Server in MC15.
The component known as Media Server in MC11 and earlier versions is now Library Server.

The Ant and the Woodpecker
Posted in Animals, Birds, Insects, Nature, Wildlife on Friday, 1 March 2013

This edited article about nature originally appeared in Look and Learn issue number 168 published on 3 April 1965.
There are about 2,000 known species of ants and they occur in nearly all parts of the world except the frozen regions. Some of them live on the ground, some live in trees, others in plants and flowers.
The Black Tree ants of India and Ceylon are tree-dwellers and under normal circumstances they will viciously attack and sting any intruder in their nest. One of the favourite meals of the Black Tree ant is birds' eggs.
The Southern Rufous woodpecker also lives in India and Ceylon and, as woodpeckers do, he eats ants. But by some freak of nature the ant-eating woodpecker and the egg-eating ants manage to live in the same house together and neither touches the other!
At nesting time the Southern Rufous woodpecker makes a hole in the ants' nest in the tree branches and makes its own nest and lays its eggs there.
If you have seen the side of an ants' nest burrowed into, you know what chaos it can cause. Although the woodpecker creates similar havoc, and some of the ants' eggs are tipped out, the ants simply grin and bear it.
Then when the woodpecker's nestlings appear they spend their youth entirely untouched by the stinging ants scurrying around them.
Ants are considered to be the most intelligent of all insects with a highly developed sense of community living. Naturalists have proved that the insects are capable of communicating with each other. An ant that finds a scrap of food too large to carry away will return to its nest for assistance. And if one ant finds a large heap of food and another a small one, the one with the large heap will bring more helpers to his aid than the one with the small heap.
Ants also have a keen sense of memory. If an ant is taken from its nest, kept in captivity for several months, then returned to the nest in company with a stranger ant, the stranger will be killed, the exile welcomed home like a long lost brother.
No wonder, then, that the black tree ant has come to an understanding about co-existence with the Southern Rufous woodpecker!

NMIZ Policy – GOI
Shri Anand Sharma, Union Minister for Commerce & Industry, while addressing at an Interactive Session with Industry of Northern Region, in Chandigarh today, said that while services have grown at a rapid pace, the share of the manufacturing sector in the country's GDP has stagnated at around 15%. "With the objective of helping Indian manufacturing to achieve its true potential and in the process be an engine for job creation, we have proposed the creation of a number of National Manufacturing & Investment Zones (NMIZ)", the Minister added. While detailing the NMIZs, Shri Sharma said: "the NMIZ would provide good physical infrastructure, a progressive exit policy, structures to support clean and green technologies, appropriate investment incentives and business friendly approval mechanisms and each zone would have a combination of production units, public utilities, logistics, environment protection mechanisms, residential areas and administered services. The interactive session was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and attended by a large number of representatives from Industry and senior officials of the government.
During the interaction, Shri Anand Sharma said, "We have witnessed rapid economic development post liberalization. However, given the size of our country and the daunting task of providing a basic minimum standard of living for all, we need to achieve much faster growth. We are a young country and we need to cater to the youthful aspirations. According to the 2007-08 Economic Survey, 64.8% of India's population would be in the working age of 15-64 years in 2026. By 2015, India will have 800 million people in the productive age group of 15 to 59, ahead of China which is expected to have only 600 million. This means that we need to create employment and enterprise opportunities at that scale. For this to happen, jobs will have to be created both in the services and the manufacturing sector".
"The NMIZ would have a governing body which would be in the form of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed with the constituents of that specific NMIZ. The SPV would have the delegated authority from the State Government, Ministries in the Central Government and other Government agencies for issuing necessary clearances for the inception and continuation of business ventures inside the NMIZ. Thus, the concept of NMIZ combines the framework for more business friendly policy, procedures and approval ecosystem, combined with superior physical infrastructure", he added.
"Investments are critical to economic growth and in today's globalized world, FDI play an important role," stated Shri Sharma and added that "while India remains an attractive destination for FDI, we can do with much more. In order to simplify FDIs, my Ministry has released the final document of FDI Policy Framework that would now comprise the single document on FDI policy".
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) development project being executed over six States of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh at an investment of over US $ 90 billion, will generate significant economic activity along the dedicated rail freight corridor between Delhi and Mumbai and aims to double employment potential in seven years, triple industrial output in nine years and quadruple exports from the region in 9 year period. "Under this project, 24 investment nodes have been identified of which there are 11 investment zones and 13 industrial areas. Of the seven nodes being developed in the first phase, Manesar-Bawal region in Haryana is receiving special focus and attention. We have cleared the overall perspective plan for the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor region and planning of the roads in Haryana is proceeding at a fast pace. In the Early Bird projects finalized for the state of Haryana, a project for establishment of a Smart City which envisages the Manesar-Bawal region which will be implemented on a PPP basis with the support and collaboration of Japan. In the recent visit of the Japanese Trade Minister, we took stock of the progress of the project and I am satisfied that we are proceeding as per schedule. I have also held a meeting with the Chief Minister of Haryana who has kindly agreed to earmark 250 acres of land for establishment of a world class Convention cum Exhibition facility", Shri Sharma added.
As regards exports front, Shri Sharma said: "if we have to continue to grow rapidly and move towards our objective of double digit growth, exports have to play a much larger role. We not only have to become competitive to increase our exports but we also have to diversify our export markets and we need to look at the markets of Africa, Latin America, Oceania and CIS countries".
In his welcome address, Shri R M Khanna, Chairman, CII Northern Region said that although the contribution of the Northern region to the national GDP continues to be the highest at 27.5%, it has been declining over the years with manufacturing witnessing one of the lowest growth rates amongst the key sub sectors. "Credit availability, infrastructure and inflation remain major areas of concern and we request the Government to focus on these areas and alleviate the problem so that Industry can contribute even more to the GDP", he added. During his address, Shri Harpal Singh, Immediate Past Chairman, CII Northern Region said that India needs to significantly raise basic educational standards, increase the quality and quantity of our universities as well as introduce other measures on the agricultural front. Shri Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General-CII, in his remarks said that CII has been proactively engaged with the Indian Reforms process for economic development and in the pre–liberalization era, CII advocated reforms for economic liberalization and its role was crucial in building consensus around the reforms and minimizing opposition to them. Now is the time for second generation reforms.

I can find even a Hall and Oates song very enjoyable when it is sung by a breathy young Japanese female (Your Kiss is On My List).
I have mentioned that I've had a problem in the past with bed bugs. It seems I finally have got the right chemicals and I thought that they are just about eradicated except something strange just started.
Since bed bugs are typically only active late at night it is not unusual to not see them but to wake up with some itchy (just how itchy depends on the individual) bumps. These itchy spots are usually at your pajammy exposed places on arms, legs, abdomen. For the last few days I have woke with my nipples very itchy.

Rebuffing Warren Buffett: Japan Is Not a 'Buying Opportunity'
Is he right? Should you overweight your portfolio with Japanese stocks and take advantage of this "opportunity." I don't think so.
In his excellent book, The Wisdom of Crowds, James Surowiecki demonstrated that diverse crowds looking at the same data typically make an accurate assessment. That's precisely what is happening with the determination of the price of Japanese (and all other) stocks and bonds.
There is no "buying opportunity" if Japanese stocks are fairly priced. Investors will not earn above-average returns by investing in these stocks without taking above-average risks. It is the amount of risk undertaken by investors that determines the amount of return.
The Nikkei 225, a stock market index that consists of 225 of the largest publicly traded companies in Japan, increased from 10,000 in 1985 to over 38,000 in December 1989. Investors in Japanese stocks made a bundle if they bought the index early in that decade. Since then, it has been quite a different story. The Nikkei 225 closed at 9,206 on March 18, 2011. The past twenty years has hardly been a "buying opportunity" for investors in Japan.
Prepare to Wait
The current level of uncertainty in the Japanese economy has caused the prices of Japanese stocks to fall. Buyers of those stocks should understand they are taking on the risk of that uncertainty. Over the long term, investors are likely to earn a return that will reward them for stepping in at a time where others were fearful. This reward is unrelated to speculation about the price of Japanese stocks. It is directly related to the current risk of those stocks.
If you decide to take the plunge and buy Japanese stocks, the high risk of those stocks means you should be prepared to wait a long time to reap those expected returns. If you are investing for a short-term killing, you are likely to be disappointed.
The markets are unforgiving. They extract a price for the possibility of high returns. That price is "risk." "Risk" is a two-way street. High risk can mean high returns, but it can also mean significant losses. Just ask anyone who bought the Nikkei 225 since December of 1989.
If you are considering the purchase of Japanese stocks, remember this: Someone will be on the other side of that trade. Don't assume you know something they don't.

The government's call for evidence from agents and others in a bid to improve the house buying process has pushed some PropTech companies into action.
Settled, an online agency and software platform which "connects every step in the home moving journey" has rebranded and set up a new website "that articulates its vision of a calmer, more streamlined process transporting buyers and sellers to completion more joyfully."
Settled claims that it has had over £500m worth of homes listed on the platform since its launch, with average customer savings of £5,000.
"It's no surprise that the government is looking at ways to bolster the economy in the wake of Brexit. A more fluid property market will ultimately result in higher levels of property transactions and increased economic contributions. Property, legal and financial companies all have a responsibility to allow transactions to flow more easily, and, with this in mind there's never been a better time to innovate" says Settled's chief executive, Gemma Young.
Meanwhile a software company has launched tools to "help landlords, tenants, owners and property entrepreneurs create legal documents without the need to consult costly human lawyers."
Robot Lawyer LISA's new services allow users to create residential leases and tenancy agreements "saving potentially thousands of pounds in legal costs."
The operator says LISA's machine impartiality means it "can act on behalf of both the creator of the document and receiver, negating the need for human lawyers for both parties."
"Property seemed to be an obvious choice [for this service], given the frequency with which agreements need to be drafted whenever properties or units are rented out on either a commercial or residential basis" says Chrissie Lightfoot, co-founder of Robot Lawyer LISA.
"In the UK, only one in 10 people and businesses take advice from a solicitor or barrister, meaning a huge proportion of small and medium businesses and consumers muddle on without legal representation, because they don't have the time, resources or feel comfortable talking to a human lawyer. LISA aims to solve that problem, by giving the latent legal market an opportunity to self-help and self-serve by providing them with a convenient way to achieve quality legal insight and advice which they desperately need and want" she adds.

Just a quick note to say thank you for your program. You have done a really great job on this and it was very affordable. My Aspergers son and I were going down a very ugly spiral. I am a single mom and always the "bad guy". The biggest turnaround was lowering the bar to the point he couldn't fail. It gave him a light at the end of the tunnel that he did not have before – and he ran to it! ~ Angie P.
My husband and I were at the end of our ropes. I prayed for wisdom and God certainly answered my prayer. I have already tried some things on the first week -- actually the day I ordered this -- and to my amazement they worked!! I had already been thinking the turmoil was like a drug for my teenager, and I was right. Thank you so much and God Bless you! ~ Ellen H.
Nothing has helped as much as this common sense advice. We've been to counseling, read books, you name it. We can't even put into words what we owe you. Thank you so much. ~ Larry and Virginia B.
Our prayers were answered with your program. We are gradually reclaiming control of our family. THANK YOU for bringing love, peace and harmony to our family once and for all this time. ~ Melinda Y.
Thank you for putting your expertise on the Internet as we live in England. ~ John O.
Thank you so much for being available -- I still can't get over your generosity! It seems amazing to me that I have no one to talk to about these things, and I need to rely on a stranger half way around the world -- but God bless you for your work -- things have really improved since I started this process -- it was so out of control, and overwhelming. ~ Louis V.
Thank you so much for making this program so affordable and supportive for the parent. I think we will make it through the next four years in a much calmer household. ~ Debbie B.
This email is to thank you very much for sharing all the important info you have so that people can be helped. I once was very worried thinking that my son would never make it in life. But now I have hope and evidence that he will do just fine as an adult with Aspergers. ~ Robin F.
We joined your website for our 15 year old son a few months back. Let me say this after having gone through many different programs for difficult teenagers, your program is very solid. We have told our current counselors and connections about it so that other parents with Aspergers teens may use your resources, too. Our son is to the point now where he no longer argues. ~ Merle and Tina C.
What I found interesting is how much my Aspergers son seemed to be feeding into the diagnosis of "depression" and his "anger issues". I also noticed that the medications actually made him more miserable - and his defiant behavior escalated. Your ebook has really helped, and I am only in the first week! ~ Beth L.
You have given us so much relief by responding to our questions. Thank you very, very much. Your book is great, and we can't tell you how much we appreciate your dedication to teaching parents how to deal with difficult Aspergers teenagers, like the one we have! ~ Barbara H.
Your Aspergers teen eBook has given me and my wife a great deal of hope with our son. He is 13, but I can see already that with our parenting style, it hasn't done S___ any favours at all. I thought that one of the key areas you wrote about was very interesting to me, was the topic that as parents you shouldn't feel guilty for trying your very best and to take time out to look after yourself. I constantly feel guilty for being a working mum etc. I love the eBook and have read the material over and over. I will stick to the 4 weeks with vivid interest, and I can see how the techniques you promote will help me in my job as a lecturer too. Keep the good work. ~ Jayne T.

Actress Anjali Patil says she signed upcoming Tamil film Kaala to feel the sheer enthusiasm of being part of a superstar Rajinikanth-starrer. She plays a pivotal role in the film, which is being directed by Pa. Ranjith.
"When I signed the project, I knew this is not the film where I'd get to prove my mettle. I signed it to feel the sheer enthusiasm of what it means to be a part of a Rajinikanth film. I wanted to experience what it's like to be around this legend," Anjali told IANS.
Talking about the experience of working alongside the superstar, she said it was like being part of a fairy tale. "He's the epitome of goodness. You see such people only in a fairy tale. He's so good to everybody around him, she said, adding the experience of being part of the Tamil industry was so different.
The film marks Anjali's Tamil debut. "The working culture is so different. I found it difficult to cope initially. But it was a great learning experience being part of this project. Each day on the set, there were over 500 people watching the shoot. It was overwhelming to shoot amidst so many people," she said.
In Kaala, Rajinikanth plays a slum lord turned gangster who fights for oppressed Tamils in Mumbai. The film, which is being bankrolled by Dhanush, also stars Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi, Huma Qureshi and Samuthirakani.

♫ "Nothing But A Miracle" - Diane Birch ♫
Velvet blazers, flowy Bohemian and Brooklyn vibes, vintage finds...oh and hats, hats, hats! I've been a fan of Diane Birch's musically for a while now (definitely check out her first album Bible Belt and her newest, Speak A Little Louder) but two years ago, when I bought my first hat (can you believe it took me that long?) did I really crave her style. Diane gives me the courage to rock the hat and any other menswear looks plus she makes me really want bangs again. And you know I love anyone who can kill it in the red lipstick game.

The Australian government is looking for talented individuals and organizations from around the globe ready to take on development and humanitarian relief assignments.
And these consultants need not be seasoned veterans; more entry-level candidates are very welcome, too.
So, what's this all about?
On Feb. 28, the Australian Agency for International Development unveiled the latest in a series of steps to modernize its procurement and increase value for money as the country expands its development programs overseas. As part of this reform, the government will create shortlists of consultants that may be engaged in the coming years for short and long-term missions.
The reform follows the Independent Review of Aid Effectiveness and continues the implementation of the Adviser Remuneration Framework, introduced in 2011, which provides a streamlined and internationally competitive AusAID pay schedule for advisers.
Taken together, these reforms paint the picture of a country eager to increase aid effectiveness and make the most out of its untied aid environment by recruiting the best talent, wherever it may be.
Ample work opportunities, predictable pay rates
Through May 1, 2012, AusAID will be accepting online tenders of individuals and organizations eager to be shortlisted for foreign aid projects. These shortlists will be part of what will be called the Aid Advisory Services Standing Offer Panel.
The panel will have 17 professional categories. Depending on the area of expertise, each category will list up to several hundreds of advisers — both individuals and organizations.
Those who are accepted to the panel may be engaged for short and long-term assignments — not only with AusAID but with several other Australian government departments and agencies involved in development cooperation as well. The switch to a single procurement mechanism for advisory services will make it easier for aid advisers to engage with the Australian government.
Consultants who perform well on assignment can expect to remain part of the panel beyond its initial appointment term of three years. The mechanism allows for two extensions of three years each, at AusAID's discretion.
In addition, AAS Standing Offer Panel members enjoy pay certainty when tasked under the panel arrangement. They will be compensated in accordance with AusAID's Adviser Remuneration Framework, which sets the rates, allowances and other fees that consultants will receive depending on their expertise, experience level and assignment duration. The rates prescribed by the Adviser Remuneration Framework will be reviewed in 2012 and then periodically throughout the term of the standing offer, and will keep pace with industry standards.
The creation of the AAS Standing Offer Panel supersedes all aid-related period offer panels, which until now were used to contract short-term advisers only. All existing period offer subagreements (called services orders or tasking notes) will be honored until their expiry dates, but members of these panels will have to apply to the AAS Standing Offer Panel to be considered for engagement in the future.
Important: For those who wish to be part of the panel, time is of the essence. Once the tender period closes, there may not be another one for several years. AusAID officials have noted that they may issue another RFT in three years to preserve its roster of experts, or add new categories to it depending on the agency's needs.
An open, streamlined procurement process
For the AAS Standing Offer Panel, AusAID will, for the first time, use a fully automated tendering process. Consultants will need to complete their applications through an online tool called APET.
Consultants may apply for several professional categories in the AAS Standing Offer Panel as long as they have the required skills.
AusAID promises a fair and open procurement process. The agency is encouraging candidates of varying levels of experience, from junior consultants to senior executive types, to apply for a panel appointment. Also, an applicant's nationality, location and size (when it comes to organizations) are not considered — after all, the Australian aid program is completely untied.
AAS Standing Offer Panel appointees will be listed in a database that enables the Australian government to match aid experts with assignments and monitor performance.
Ultimately, AusAID hopes to expand use of e-procurement systems to support more efficient tender and contract management processes.
Attracting new partners
With the new AAS Standing Offer Panel, Australian officials hope to realize the full potential of untied aid and open up the country to new expert partners from around the globe.
The goal, to boost competition, is not surprising, given plans to increase Australia's aid budget to at least 8 billion Australian dollars ($8.6 billion) by 2015-16, four times the size of its 2009-10 level.
The budget increase coincides with an expansion of Australian development cooperation in several geographic regions, including Asia-Pacific — the country's traditional turf — as well as Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Experts with knowledge and experience working in these regions are encouraged to apply for appointment to the AAS Standing Offer Panel.

A 16-year-old boy who escaped from San Francisco's juvenile detention center last month is in custody after he reportedly returned home for food, rest and clothes.
The teenager, who broke out of the Juvenile Justice Center on Woodside Avenue along with a 12-year-old boy on April 16, was detained Thursday at his parents' home, Chief Probation Officer William Siffermann said.
The 12-year-old was back in custody two days after the jail break, having also been found at his respective home.
Exactly how the pair escaped the facility is still under investigation, Siffermann said Friday.
Preliminary reports indicated the boys punched through a window with a metal object, squeezed through a square-foot-size window, then cleared a 20-foot-tall barbed-wire fence in order to break free.
The 16-year-old had been in custody for a probation violation, Siffermann said, while the younger boy was in for a property crime.
Siffermann would not comment on where the 16-year-old had been hiding since his escape or what led to his capture.

Hey loves! Christmas came early for me from none other than, Allure Magazine! I actually received this last week and I have been wanting to post an unboxing for days now. I was trying to look up which month this box is for but it seems like, this box was curated and sent to few bloggers and social media influencers only. I'm probably wrong ? but I'm really excited to share you guys the products Allure included in this beauty box!
Before I get into the unboxing, I just wanted to say how much I love Allure magazine. I have actually worked with them multiple times before together with my friends. They had a bunch of really fun events in NYC area. Oh memories! ?
Allure Beauty Box – You'll receive six or more deluxe samples that Allure curated each month — plus the Allure mini-mag with product reviews and tips to help you get the best results from the samples — for just $15 per month.
They called this box the "Season's Best". Allure rounded up hair, makeup and skin care staples that are perfect for the transition into cooler weather. Say goodbye to dry skin and staticky hair!
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask
A light yet supermoisturizing conditioner! It smooths, detangles and makes even dry, chemically treated hair feel soft. It has a floral scent that smells amazing! It's packed with heavy duty moisturizers that hydrate hair without weighing it down. Definitely a must have for this season!
Price: $36
Spongelle Freesia Pear Body Wash Infused Buffer
A fragrance shower sponge that's infused with moisturizers. It cleanses, hydrates and scents the skin. The hockey-puck-shaped sponge feels stiff when dry but softens in the shower to release a velvety lather. It smells lush, fresh and slightly floral, kind of like a beautiful garden after the rain. This little sponge does so much more than wash away dirt. It buffs away dead skin cells, leaves your skin smelling amazing and can double as a room or gym bag atomizer.
Price: $15
Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow Single in Kristi
It's the perfect everyday shade, for daytime or nightime look! The quilted compact looks elegant off the bat ; the shade is a rich brown with gold tones. This shade is definitely a must have for any makeup addicts like me. It's pretty multitasking, you can wear it as a liner, a highlighter, across your lid or as a blending color in the crease.
Price: $10
Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Body Butter
A scented, coddling, supremely cool-looking body moisturizer. I was honestly suprised with this body butter as I've never tried one in the color Indigo. It hydrates and soothes the skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It has a sophisticated watery-floral scet that lingers for about an hour. I love it! My skin really feels soft after the application of this product.
Price: $12 for 1 ounce
Mally Volumizing Mascara
I've tried this mascara before and I must say that it's pretty awesome! The packaging is really simple but it really does a great job at defining my lashes. The brush is easy to work with, packed with spiky nylon bristles that comb through lashes to separate every hair. The formula is awesome, it's glossy and remarkably nongloppy.
Price: $20
Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk
A dry shampoo with Oat Milk? YES please! I have tried a couple of dry shampoo but haven't really had any that became my favorite until this one. It really gets oily slickness out of the roots and fluffs up lank midlengths and ends. I have a pretty dark hair color and I love this product because it doesn't leave my hair dusty or gray. Oh and it has a powdery floral scent that smells so wonderful!
Price: $20 for 3.2 ounces
And that's everything I got from Allure Beauty Box! My top favorites would be Spongelle Freesia Pear Body Wash Infused Buffer (what a long name) because I have not tried anything like this before, Mally Volumizing Mascara because I am a mascara junkie, cannot live without it and Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Body Butter because who doesn't love soft and silky skin? I hope you discovered new and exciting products from this post! Xoxo ?

Professor Andrea Capachietti, friend of Hesperian and advisory board member for the Syrian American Medical Society, describes the challenges facing humanitarian and medical workers in Syria. The conflict is "a very different style of warfare, violating numerous international mandates. The injuries are horrific." Medical workers and clinics have become military targets, with over 1,000 health workers killed, facilities destroyed, and remaining centers working without basic equipment or even electricity. Those lucky enough to escape the conflict are crowded into under-resourced areas, such as a Greek refugee camp where tents were set up inside of warehouses. Lack of ventilation makes these living quarters "become incredibly hot… During Ramadan, people were in tents, fasting, in 100 degree heat."
Hesperian books are used throughout war zones and refugee camps by medics and volunteers to respond to the destruction around them, to start health promotion programs, to help expecting mothers and newborns survive and stay healthy, and to train health workers. Andrea Capachietti used Hesperian books in a "training of trainers program" in which refugees were chosen by their neighbors to learn basic health skills and then pass them on to others. "Hesperian books have helped us work with trainees in a culturally respectful way, and have helped us build trust," she said.
Thanks to your generous donations, Hesperian materials have been sent to seven organizations working with refugees in Greece, Syria, and Yemen, putting lifesaving tools into the hands of those doing this vital humanitarian work.
Hesperian is also partnering with Jewish Family Child Services – East Bay to prepare them to support new refugees with effective health education and navigation of our confusing healthcare system. Case managers from JFCS – East Bay, themselves resettled refugees, are learning to initiate conversations about health concerns, respond to needs as they arise, find information in Hesperian's publications and other resources, and connect people to local health and social services.

Apple iPad Event: The 10 Biggest Rumors

As usual, the rumor mill has cranked out a lot of speculation surrounding the next-generation tablets, as well as buzz around other possible product announcements, including a new MacBook Pro line.

How about Apple's new fingerprint sensor Touch ID making its way to the tablets? And what about a few surprises?

John 18:4-9
In his drama "The Trial of Jesus", John Masefield has the centurion Longinus report to Pilate after the crucifixion of Jesus. Longinus had been the officer in charge of the execution, and after his official report, Pilate's wife calls the centurion to come and tell her how the prisoner had died. Once the account is given, she asks, "Do you think he is dead?" Longinus answers, "No, Lady, I don't." "Then where is he?" asks Procula, to which Longinus replies, "Let loose in the world, Lady, where neither Roman nor Jew can stop his truth."
The Christ we serve is alive and living in us! Kierkegaard was once asked what the greatest miracle in scripture was? The questioner was expecting to hear "walking on water", healing the blind, etc. Kierkegaard's response was, "That God loves us."
Matt 28:20 "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Dr. Paul Brand was speaking to a medical college in India on "Let your light so shine before men that they may behold your good works and glorify your Father." In front of the lectern was an oil lamp with its cotton wick burning from the shallow dish of oil. As he preached, the lamp ran out of oil, the wick burned dry, and the smoke made him cough. He immediately used the opportunity. "Some of us here are like this wick," he said. "We're trying to shine for the glory of God, but we stink. That's what happens when we use ourselves as the fuel of our witness rather than the Holy Spirit. Wicks can last indefinitely, burning brightly and without irritating smoke, if the fuel, the Holy Spirit, is in constant supply."
When Jesus said, "I am he," in the Biblical story, the Bible says they (Disciples) drew back and fell to the ground. None of the other evangelists (Matthew, Mark & Luke) mentions this very important circumstance. Our Lord chose to give them this proof of his infinite power, that the solders might know their power could not prevail against him if he chose to exert his might. Satan cannot defeat Christ. The world cannot destroy Christ. However, Christ can allow Himself (God) to die for the world. At the breath of God they are destroyed; at the blast of his anger they perish. (Job 4:9) Thus by the blast of God they might have perished, and by the breath of his nostrils they might have been consumed.
Pentecostals refer to this passage as being "slain in the Holy Spirit." When Peter is on the rooftop in Joppa, he is slain by the Holy Spirit. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. (Acts 10:10) Paul is slain by the Holy Spirit in the temple in Jerusalem. "When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance….(Acts 22:17) Being slain in the Holy Spirit is when the power and presence of God is so great that it overwhelms the physical body. Moses had been in the presence of God so many times that his face began to glow.
Moses started wearing a veil over his face to protect the people. Being in the presence of God changed Moses physically.
Do not pray for more of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity and is not in pieces. God is one! Every child of God has all of Him, but does He have all of us?
A strange event occurred on September 17, 1997 in Bologna, Italy. Bob Dylan sang and played for Pope John Paul II. The occasion was a religious congress for young people. It was a chance for the 77-year-old pontiff to spend time with young people. When he spoke to the crowd of 20,000 the Pope referred to a classic Dylan song: "Blowin' in the Wind." The Pope said the answer was indeed blowing in the wind, the wind that is the breath and life of the Holy Spirt. He answered the query of another Dylan song, "How many roads must a man walk before he becomes a man?" The pope said, "I answer you, 'One! There is only one road for man and it is Christ who said, 'I am the life."
Think of it – the very presence of God, living inside each one of us! God who is omnipresence (everywhere), omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful) and eternal lives in us. You and I don't understand how this is possible. And the reality is that we don't have to fully understand it, to benefit.
The seed planted in us at our baptism does several things: The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us. The Holy Spirit speaks to us. The Holy Spirit is the seal of our salvation. Power can be used in at least two ways: it can be unleashed, or it can be harnessed. The energy in ten gallons of gasoline, for instance, can be released explosively by dropping a lighted match into the can. Or it can be channeled through the engine of a car in a controlled burn and used to transport a person 350 miles. Explosions are spectacular, but controlled burns have lasting effect, staying power. The Holy Spirit works both ways. At Pentecost, he exploded on the scene; his presence was like "tongues of fire" (Acts 2:3). Thousands were affected by one burst of God's power, but he also works through the church through this institution, God began to tap the Holy Spirit's power for the long haul. Through worship, fellowship, and service, Christians are provided with staying power.
If you have the Spirit without the Word, you blow up. If you have the Word without the Spirit, you dry up. If you have both the Word and the Spirit, you grow up.

More Images of JESIKAH MAXIMUS:
SGE - You look familiar. Where have we seen you before?
JM - For sure you know me from my first cover, SHOW Black Lingerie Issue #2. However, I'm also pretty popular on MySpace (www.mayspace.com/jesikahmaximus) so there is that as well. I'm also on the cover of the Black Men's 10 year Anniversary issue. My photographer Nick Saglimbeni shot that cover as well, and it looks great. He also shot my first SSX issue which comes out later this summer, as well as my previous spread in Blackmen's. So even if I didn't look familiar now, you certainly will be seeing a lot more of me. Oh, I will be launching my official website this summer as well, www.JesikahMaximus.com
SGE - What other projects have you done and what do you have on the horizon?
JM - I'm doing a lot with UrbMob.com right now. We currently have a commercial running on BET. You can check www.urbmob.com for more information in addition to downloading my mobile wall papers. I still have a wall paper deal with Jamster as well. You can catch my Jamster commercials on Fuse TV and MTVTres. Hopefully you will be able to see me in your town this summer since I will be hosting a lot of events across the country. Just keep an eye on my MySpace and you will know where I will be at all times.
SGE - What can we expect from your upcoming website www.JesikahMaximus.com?
JM - Expect it to be filled with a ton of hot exclusive images shot by Nick Saglimbeni of SlickForce Studios as well as DamirK from Notion Photography. I know I want the site to be colorful and technologically advanced. There will certainly be a lot of buzz surrounding the site but I don't want to give away too many secrets. We are putting up a new splash page shortly, so go there and leave me your email so I can keep you up to date on the site. The site will be my portal to the world. Everything I do will be featured on the site. It will be a direct connection between me and my fans.
SGE - How did you come up with the name Jesikah Maximus?
JM - I love the movie Gladiator so I adopted the name of the lead character. He was strong, fearless and put his family above everything else. That's kind of like me.
SGE - What kind of themed photo shoots do you want to do?
JM - I would love to do a gladiator themed shoot. I also love Super Heroes so I wouldn't mind dressing up like a bunch of them. Note to the fans: send me your requests. Who would you want to me dressed as?
SGE - We hear you went to Puerto Rico to shoot a Calendar. How was that?
JM - Puerto Rico is very beautiful. The people really embraced us down there and the natural landscapes are spectacular. I speak Spanish fluently, so I enjoyed being able to communicate in both English and Spanish. I can't wait for you to see the calendar, it's going to look amazing. We shot under a 60 foot waterfall, in the middle of the ocean, on horseback and in some historic ruins to name a few of the locations. We really utilized the natural beauty of Puerto Rico to accentuate my beauty and vice versa. We were a perfect fit, me and PR.
SGE - How important is it for you to have a strong fan base in Latin America?
JM - I'm Latina myself, so of course I hope to grow a strong following amongst the Spanish speaking world. On the way to Puerto Rico we flew on the plane with some students from South America and they showed me a lot of love. They asked me to take pictures and sign autographs. Latin American culture embraces curvy women and they are not afraid to show a little sex appeal, so that's perfect for me. When my calendar drops we plan to return to PR and do a tour of Mexico and South America to promote it.
SGE - What else do you hope to accomplish in your career?
JM - I want to achieve financial stability. It is so important to establish certain financial goals when you embark on a new career. As a model, you should not be afraid to be motivated my wealth. What we do is no different from any other career. My goal is to be very successful and to earn a good living doing it. That being said, I hope to accomplish a great deal. I definitely want to enjoy main stream success. Hopefully this will allow me to give back to others in my community who are in need. In Los Angeles, not too far from the studio where we shoot, you see a lot of homeless families and general despair. I would love to be in a position to help these individuals. At some point in my life I want to start a foundation that provides homeless children with adequate shelter and educations. If I can use my success to help others then I will feel that I have accomplished what I set out to do. I'm definitely not in this alone, so I want to thank those that are helping me along this journey including the fans, all the magazines that show me love, including SHOW, my management team, especially my manager St. Gian, Team Maximus and Nick, the hottest photographer on the planet for making me look so good!

Ahmadi Muslims have faced state-sponsored persecution in Pakistan for the past thirty years when it was made a criminal offence for an Ahmadi to call himself a Muslim. These laws have been exploited by extremists resulting in the murder of hundreds of Ahmadi Muslims simply on grounds of faith.
More than 245 Ahmadi Muslims have been murdered in Pakistan since 1984 simply on grounds of faith. We must not stay silent – sign the petition to call for justice for Ahmadi Muslims and other religious communities in Pakistan.

Today, in the US the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller housing price index, the Chicago PMI and the Conference Board consumer confidence will be published. In normal circumstances, this set of data would have market moving potential.
In particular it would be interesting to see the reaction of markets in general and of the dollar in particular to better than expected US economic data. The combination of reasonably good US economic data with additional support from the Fed might be dollar supportive. This reasoning remains of course valid, but the focus of the markets is currently elsewhere.
In Europe, the November CPI and the October unemployment rate will probably have only a limited impact on EUR/USD trading. More interestingly, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet will speak during a European Parliament Committee meeting at 16.30 CET. This could yield some interesting comments.
Of course, one can expect the ECB president to defend the steps taken by the EU and the involvement of the ECB in this process. However, it also gives the ECB President a forum to prepare markets for a delay in its normalization (exit) process, if he would intend to do so at Thursday's ECB meeting. However, it raises the question whether there is any possible way for European policymakers to change the current market sentiment for the better.
If Trichet would indicate a delay in the normalizing of its liquidity policy, investors will probably explain it as a sign of more trouble in EMU financial system. If the ECB continues the exit as indicated until now, it will probably be seen as the ECB obstructing the recovery process in the peripheral countries.
So, unless some 'deus ex machina' appears, we assume the market environment to remain euro negative. The talk of EU/ECB officials won't be able to change this.

While in a meeting today at work someone mentioned that one of our clients that just recently signed a 90 day agreement to purchase weekly email investor data from us called because right after they signed the agreement and received their first weekly delivery of data that another data company approached them and offered them the same type of data for just a few hundred dollars per week. They were concerned that they might be paying us thousands of dollars for data when this other company apparently was not only selling the same type of data for just pennies on the dollar compared to what we were selling but the file was much larger than what we were offering. Though they did not come right out and say it the question that was on their mind was did they just make a huge mistake by signing this agreement with us? We matter of factly advised them that while this might sound like a great deal this cheap data was just that, cheap data. We even encouraged them to purchase it and test it out compared to what they purchased from us.
Later on in the day while thinking about the article I needed to write later I went online and did a Google search for email data and right at the top in the sponsored listings I found "500,000 opt-in users" – "100% Opt-in Audience that has the Highest Response Rates, Guaranteed!" clicking through to their website I found lots of informative information about the email marketing industry. I was advised that if I bought from them that I could increase my sales overnight, right above this bold statement was a big red banner that stated "In compliance with the CAN SPAM ACT click here for more info" which incidentally took me to the FTC site. I scrolled down the page looking for pricing and couldn't believe my luck, it was truly my lucky day. For only $127 I could purchase 50,000 opt-in email addresses, complete with name, address, IP address and date and time stamp, but if I really wanted to be successful I could go all the way and for only $497 I could purchas3e 1 million email addresses, and I could even pick from any category I wanted, and mix and match, at no additional charge.
There is nothing special about this company, they are a dime a dozen and they prey on the dreams of small businesses hoping to make it big. First of all I don't care what kind of marketing you are doing and what kind of budget you have, nothing is going to dramatically increase your sales overnight. If this list of 50,000 being sold for $197 was ever truly opt-in with probably hundreds of easily duped people buying the list, how long do you think those email addresses remained valid before the owners got fed up and either changed their email address or just abandoned this one due to the nonstop gushing of intolerable spam they were getting?
As a company we occasionally go out and purchase various lists just to see what is out there, last year I purchased a list of UK consumers with phone numbers, the cost was just a few hundred dollars and because it is so difficult to find good UK data for less than the cost of mortgaging your house, I thought I'd give it a shot for educational purposes and I did not expect much to come out of it.
I gave the list to one of our clients in England to test out and after a few days they called me to tell me that this list was one of the worse they had ever seen. They said that in 2000 many of the exchanges for telephone numbers were changed and that this list was full of the old numbers, so at the very least this "fresh" list was at least nine years old. So are we worried about these companies under pricing us and over delivering? Not in the least we encourage our clients if they are worried that we are over charging them to go out and purchase a couple of these lists because they will be back. There are no short cuts when purchasing a list, just like the old saying goes "If it's too good to be true, it probably is". It cost money to market effectively and purchasing a list whether that is a phone and address list or an email list is not any different. There are hundreds of companies out there selling illegitimate data. Before you purchase a list be sure that the company you are purchasing from is legitimate, do a search online and see what others are saying about them, do they have a phone number on their website and if they do is the same person answering the phone every time you call? These are tell tale signs that you are dealing with a scam artist. Find a company that is real and bite the bullet and pull out your bank card and spend the money that it takes to do it right.

Spent and Misfired Cartridge Disposal
What sort of waste are spent shotgun cartridges?
According to guidance from the Environment Agency (EA), spent shotgun cartridges are classed as a 'Directive Waste'. The phrase "Directive Waste" refers to European legislation called the Waste Framework Directive. Directive wastes include nearly all household, commercial and industrial wastes. Directive wastes have to be assessed as to whether they are classed as 'Hazardous Waste' or 'Non-hazardous Waste' according to a set of criteria under the Waste Framework Directive. Even though spent shotgun cartridges contain lead (hazardous substance) residues, lead is not present in the quantities required for it to be classed as a 'Hazardous Waste'. Spent shotgun cartridges are therefore classed as a 'Non-hazardous' waste and are subject to the regulations governing non-hazardous waste.
Domestic quantities:
Local authorities are responsible for the removal and management of domestic household waste. Based on guidance from the EA, small quantities of cartridges can be deposited in normal domestic household waste*. No official policy exists to define the limits of 'small quantities', however the EA suggests anything up to 100 cartridges is reasonable. Local authorities have a duty of care to remove non-hazardous, directive waste, which spent cartridges are. Any problems encountered by the removal of spent shotgun cartridges in your domestic waste needs to be addressed with the local authority responsible.
Commercial quantities:
Disposal of large quantities of spent shotgun cartridges are subject to the new agricultural waste regulations (further details on the EA website). Under these regulations disposal of large quantities of spent shotgun cartridges by burning or burial is illegal. The EA recommends contacting a local waste recycling company to arrange removal.
Duty of care in relation to commercial quantities of cartridges
Duty of care applies to everyone handling trade waste, which includes commercial shoots. If you break the duty you are liable to an unlimited fine.
Duty of care means that you have to take all reasonable steps to keep the waste safe. For example safe storage of spent cartridges might be in large bins or a skip. Duty of care also means that the waste must be properly disposed of. That means contacting a company authorised to dispose of it properly.
The easiest way to do this is by entering into a contract with the local authority to take the waste away. You can also give it to a registered waste carrier. There are a few companies who offer this service, for which there is a charge including Agricycle www.agri-cycle.uk.com and Solway Recycling Ltd www.solwayrecycling.co.uk. For further information contact them directly. It is the responsibility of the waste producer to check that their chosen recycling organisation is registered.
In addition waste producers need to sign a waste transfer notice, saying what the waste is and how it is stored.
Disposal of live/misfired shotgun cartridges:
Contact your local police firearms licensing authority who can collect live or misfired cartridges and dispose of them. The Health and Safety Executive also provides guidance on disposal of large quantities of live or misfired ammunition. DO NOT dispose of live or misfired cartridges through domestic waste, burial or burning – it is illegal and dangerous.
* No guidance has been issued by the Department of Environment Northern Ireland for disposal of domestic quantities of spent cartridges.
NB BASC does not accept responsibility for any misinterpretation of guidance. It is the responsibility of members to familiarise themselves with the regulations for each of the countries in the UK. For further information on waste regulations contact the Environment Agency (England and Wales), Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Scotland) or Department of Environment (Northern Ireland). BASC does not accept responsibility for the guidance given or services provided by any organisation listed in this document.

We must start our day with healthy meal but when we get up in the morning, we rush to get ready for work. we don't have time to have breakfast and we rush out the door without breakfast and grab cream cheese, muffin, pastry, fry egg etc.
But unfortunately these are not healthy breakfast. When we start our day the stomach is an empty and sugar levels are dangerously low so you need an instant sugar fix.
There are all kinds of healthy breakfast choices you can feed to your family, giving them the energy they need for a full day's activities. Healthy breakfast should be tasty and it doesn't take long time to prepare. Healthy diets always keep healthy. Here are some of the healthy breakfast pictures, which may lead you to a better and healthy life.
Bacon, eggs and white toast
eggs are a good source of protein.
bacon has a high content of saturated fat.
Toasted muesli, cow's milk and fruit
fruit is a good start to the day.
toasted muesli is loaded with fat; baked is a better choice.
Cow's milk is high in saturated fat and can contribute to allergic symptoms.
Rolled oats, soy milk and seeds
oats are a good source of fiber and vitamin Bs and are slow to absorb in the bloodstream.
Oats will help to keep blood sugar stable until lunch.
Seeds like pumpkin and sesame are high in essential fatty acids and fiber;
pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc and sesame seeds have a good deal of calcium.
Soy milk, provided it is made with whole soy beans, has no sugar and no added anything and is a good source of protein.

Hello Jasper Fans,
I just wanted to let you know about a new weekly radio show I'm launching this fall on our town's wonderful college radio station, WUSC 90.5 FM. The show is called The Columbi-Arts & Music Show (check us out on Facebook here) and will be broadcasting on Thursdays from 2-4pm each week. Each week I plan to talk about (and play music from) upcoming music shows as well as promote upcoming art gallery happenings, film screenings, dance performances, theater productions, etc. We'll be having special guests and DJs, live (mostly acoustic) performances in the studio, and will do our best to show off all this city has to offer.
So, if you like, please tune in, contact me with any arts-related events you have coming up, and enjoy having an anything-goes college radio station that dedicates 2 hours each week to talking about what's going on in the arts community.
Tomorrow will be our first show–tune in at 2 if you can!

Finish point: Rialto Bridge.
You'll start this Venice food tour from Campo de la Maddalena, a small raised square that has remained the same since medieval times, and is famous for its modest houses topped with interesting chimneys. Call into the old historical inn, a much loved bar that specialises in cicchetti, for your first taste of this Venice tapas.
The best things to do in Venice often revolve around food. On this Venice tour, you will try some of the city's famous specialties, from plates of olives, to marinated seafood served on wedges of soft polenta.

From there, you'll head to Campo de Santa Sofia and jump on a traghetto to cross Canal Grande into the Rialto area.

Pay a visit to a true local Venice attraction - the local market, before heading to yet another bar in the centre of Venice, a hole-in-the-wall place that serves a simple but delicious selection of cicchetti and great regional Italian wines and proseccos.

Dallas Schools Respond to Students' Possible Ebola Exposure
Four schools in Dallas will complete a "thorough cleaning" after authorities determined that five students who attend those schools may have had contact with an Ebola patient over the weekend, the New York Times reported. The schools include a high school, a middle school, and two elementary schools. They will remain open, and the cleaning is just a precaution, officials told the Times.
The students are among 12 to 18 people who may have had contact with Liberian national Thomas Duncan, who was confirmed Tuesday as the first patient to test positive for Ebola within the United States, while he was demonstrating symptoms of the illness.
Although Ebola is grabbing headlines for its rapid spread through parts of Africa, efforts to contain the illness mimic many public health plans that will no doubt be familiar to school health officials who've dealt with other conditions: Track down those who may have been affected, monitor their health, and take precautionary measures. From the Times:
"Health officials on Wednesday continued to track down other people who might have been exposed to Mr. Duncan after he began showing symptoms, on Sept. 24, and will monitor them every day for 21 days—the full incubation period of the disease. Most people develop symptoms within eight to 10 days. As a patient becomes sicker and the virus replicates in the body, the likelihood of the disease spreading grows."
The situation, which exploded in the media yesterday, has the potential to challenge many sectors of a busy school district—including student support staff, communications, and janitorial services.
The Dallas district outlined its response plans Wednesday on a section of its website it created especially to address the potential Ebola exposure. The district also created an information hotline and posted a fact sheet from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the illness.
"The impacted students are currently not showing any symptoms and are under close observation by the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department," the district's website said. "As a precautionary measure, the students have been advised to stay home from school. Since the students are not presenting any symptoms, there is nothing to suggest that the disease was spread to others including students and staff. It is also important to know that individuals are not contagious until symptoms appear. Because of this, there is no imminent danger to children."
Among other actions listed on its website, the district has:
- Updated its board of trustees on the situation;
- Sent letters translated in seven different languages home to parents of students in the four impacted schools;
- Sent communications staff to the four schools to help with media attention;
- Sent psychological services and family engagement staff to the four schools to assist students, staff, and families,and
- Determined which buses the potentially exposed students took so those vehicles can receive an additional cleaning.

Mostly sharing this so I remember how ridiculous it is to paint all this in case I ever get the whim to do it again…
Kitchen/dining room are Bay Waves by Valspar — the same color I had in the Woodfield kitchen and I love a little less in this house because it looks more blue than I remember.
HOWEVER … I'm now in the process of painting the living room (and hallway, but I'm not in a rush to knock that out) "Falkland Blue" by Sherwin-Williams.
I took a shortcut and used my sample jar to cut in, not realizing that was a satin paint and I'll be using eggshell on the walls. So I started rolling just so I felt accomplished.
As of 1:33 a.m. I did indeed feel accomplished.
Olive is basically the reason I have this house. Her human had to work late and asked if I'd be in the area painting…so she came to keep me company. And yes she had a sweater because ya girl refuses to turn the heat past 62.

Oh man, we can't believe how long it took Laverty to get around to this one, because it's possibly the OG lovable rubbish car, but bwahs and grills (as Miss Frueh, our fully-awesome pre-Alegebra teacher, was wont to say), the Renault 5 is thee business. As a child in a stroller, we always marveled at the Le Cars parked in a driveway at the dark end of our street a red and green pair. They just seemed so incongruous in a world of large Pontiacs. And you know, as a two-year-old, it seemed like a car we could actually drive instead of sitting on our dad's lap, piloting a Rambler across a vacant lot on the way home from the hardware store. We love Le Car. We cherish it. We want one so very badly. Thank you, Laverty. Thank you.

About The Dirt Farmer's Wife
I am myself. I live with my wonderful husband Jonathan out on The Dirtfarm. We have dogs, ducks, chickens, pigeons, and cockatiels. We practice sustainable living the best we can. I believe the best we can all do in life is to be good to each other.
