Vilsack noted that the cotton program wouldn't need rewriting until the 2012 farm bill because of Tuesday's agreement.
In 2005 and 2008, The World Trade Organization found that certain U.S. payments to cotton producers and Agriculture Department export credit guarantees used to provide guarantees for credit by private U.S. banks to approved foreign banks for purchases of U.S. agricultural products for foreign buyers were inconsistent with WTO commitments. The WTO ruled that Brazil could impose $147.3 million in countermeasures for the cotton payments and retaliate against the credit programs, which could've targeted U.S. goods as well as intellectual property.
The agreement calls for the U.S. to establish an annual fund of around $147.3 million to provide technical assistance and capacity building for Brazil's cotton industry. The fund is set to continue until passage of the next farm bill or a mutually agreed solution on the cotton dispute is reached, whichever is soon.
On March 8, Brazil announced a final list of products that would face higher tariffs beginning April 7. Those goods included autos, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, electronics, textiles, wheat, fruits, nuts and cotton. Brazil hadn't made a final decision on which U.S. intellectual property rights might be affected but it was in the process of deciding.
"Our path forward respects our farm bill process and the role of Congress in shaping our commodity programs. I look forward to working with Congress and Brazil to crafting a long-term, mutually agreeable solution to this dispute that meets the needs of American farmers, workers and consumers," Vilsack said.

Usually we see that most artists enjoy creative and messy studios and it is pretty common for them to spill their creativity over the floor, over the table and throughout the entire studio. Just as you need to organize your living room, if you're an artist, you also have to declutter your art studio so that it looks clean and tidy. That will not only help you find out things with ease, it will also add a new look to your studio which will be pleasing for your visitors. If you now think that it's high time you take a stand against clutter, you should free your mind and create a blank canvas for making a blank canvas and an organized space. Here are some tips that you may consider following.
- Utilize more containers: Pens, corral paint brushes and other tall tools should be kept in baskets and jars. How about organizing your art supplies into old spice jars and keeping them lined up within a drawer? Remember that the more you can organize the items together, you easier it will be to find them out. If you think that the containers which you buy from the stores are boring for you, you can try such pastel glass jars or design it with some bold paint colors.
- Use the empty walls of your studio: Do you see a lot of empty walls lying unused in your studio? If answered yes, it's high time you organize them vertically. Whether you build floor to ceiling shelves or you just want to add a few boxes that are nailed to the wall, you should take advantage of having all your art supplies within the level of your eyes but off your desk spaces and floor.
- Hang them in a design: If you're hanging your wall storage units, you should leave a space for other larger scraps and hanging fabric. You can easily keep them off the floor and apart from the crumpled piles and also add various colors to the type of fabric for the additional organization. Ensure hanging them in a good form so that it adds to the look of your art studio.
- Keep a track of what's going in and out: One of the most essential points of keeping your studio organized is to keep a track of your inventory levels. It is only when you know the number of pieces that are going out and the number that's coming in, that you can prepare your studio space. You can try and maintain a spreadsheet for managing this as this will give you an organized way of keeping tab.
Therefore, if you're an artist who has long been thinking of organizing your studio but you have not taken the first step, do it now without giving it a second thought. Follow the tips mentioned above and declutter your space of love.

To this day, Phantasm is by far one of the scariest horror movie series out there. It has an incredibly creepy atmosphere, especially when inside the funeral parlor which is filled with droning ambient sounds. Speaking of sounds, Phantasm has a great theme song which ranks right up there with the Halloween theme if you ask me. And talk about a freaky bad guy, Angus Scrimm, simply known as "The Tall Man", is what nightmares are truly made of. He may only have a couple o' lines, but his crazy facial expressions and the infamous "BOYYYY!" catchphrase are things you'll never forget. What's even creepier, is that they made more sequels to the film some 20 years later and he doesn't look like he's aged a bit! Maybe he really is filled with that formaldehyde fluid after all!
Now all of these things that make the movie creepy are spectacular, but everybody will tell you, the one thing they look forward to in the Phantasm movies are the Sentinel Sphere death scenes. The Tall Man has these crazy robotic spheres that basically hone in on any living person and then they proceed to attack them without mercy. I still remember seeing the very first sphere attack scene...
The spheres are equipped with all sorts of evil goodies... blades,
drills, blood draining vacuums, the works. This poor guy was the first
to encounter one of the spheres and as you can see, it went straight
for his head and quickly drilled itself in. Who would've thought a
couple o' silver balls could be capable of creating such awesomely
gory death scenes? Don Coscarelli, creator of "The Beastmaster" and
"Bubba Ho-Tep", that's who.
I'm still waiting for them to put out that final, conclusive Phantasm movie... but I guess they're in no rush since Angus Scrimm will apparently live on forever. o.O! Oh yeah, on a related note, check out this lame animation I did when I was first learning Flash.

text: 25 June A corona for chromosomes Back to news A new publication of the Kops group in the journal Nature Cell Biology describes their discovery of a way in which chromosomes can capture the molecular ropes (a.k.a. microtubules) that pull them apart during cell division. When a cell divides, its most important task is to make sure that each daughter cell receives the right complement of chromosomes. The wrong complement can kill cells or set them on a path towards becoming a cancer cell. Cells achieve this by connecting chromosomes to microtubules via a specialized chromosomal structure known as the kinetochore. A challenge for the cell is to get all chromosomes correctly attached to microtubules in a timely manner. Studies from the 1960s showed that during the period they need to make the first contacts with microtubules, kinetochores have a large, extra layer termed the 'corona'. The corona is only present in the earliest phases of cell division, but disappears once microtubule connections are made. Using various cell imaging, biochemical and biophysical techniques, the Kops group now discovered the molecular nature of this corona, and how it assembles in those early phases of cell division. Using that knowledge, they were able to show that the corona is like Velcro for microtubules, allowing kinetochores to stick to microtubules as soon as they are in proximity of one another. They furthermore revealed how the corona disappears in later phases of cell division, and showed that this is important to prevent errors in distributing the chromosomes to the daughter cells. The corona is therefore essential for the initial capture of microtubules, and correct regulation of the corona is important in preventing the chromosome segregation errors often seen in cancer cells. Paper: http://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-018-0130-3 Image: a cell preparing to divide: DNA in blue, kinetochores in red, coronas in green. Geert Kops is group leader at the Hubrecht Institute and professor of Molecular Tumor Cell Biology at the University Medical Center Utrecht. His group is interested in the processes that ensure correct chromosome segregation during cell division. Errors in chromosome segregation can cause birth defects and embryonic lethality in humans and cause aneuploidy, the most common genetic alteration in tumors. The Kops group studies the signaling networks that regulate chromosome segregation, the evolution of cell division processes and the role of chromosomal instability in cancer.

I'm curious: What is your opinion on the controversy surrounding players kneeling, standing, or staying in the locker room during the national anthem? Click on the links below to get two different thoughts on the topic and then please share your comments.
Jerry Jones, the extremely wealthy owner of the Dallas Cowboys (historically know as "America's Team"), stands by his feelings on the subject. Look at what he has to say.
It's not a secret that Tom Hanks…yes the famous Hollywood actor, has been researching and documenting the history of the United States. In fact he produced a mini series that can be found on Netflix in which he shows pieces of US history that will blow your mind. (I watched the whole thing and I was shocked to see some of the story told). In any case, Hanks has something to say about the situation of our nation and you should see it. I've added the link here so you can check it out for yourself.

Shelters offer haven for evacuees
Staff Writer
Thursday, September 13, 2018
As Hurricane Florence approaches, several shelters have been opened in Nash and Edgecombe counties for local residents and others who are fleeing the storm from coastal areas.
Nash County Emergency Services opened two shelters at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Nash Central High School at 4279 Nash Central High Road in Rocky Mount and Southern Nash High School at 6446 Southern Nash High Road in Bailey.
The Eastern North Carolina Red Cross also established an additional shelter at Englewood Baptist Church.
"We opened the Englewood shelter early because we were asked by the state to host evacuees from Dare and Tyrell counties," Nash County Emergency Services Director Brian Brantley told the Telegram.
As of press time, roughly 100 evacuees from Tyrell County were already at the shelter, said Carolyn Stern, disaster program specialist with the local Red Cross office.
The shelters at Southern Nash High School and Englewood Baptist have been designated as pet-friendly shelters. Rocky Mount and Nash County Animal Control are assisting with pets at Englewood Baptist Church and Southern Nash High, said Scott Rogers, deputy chief of Nash County Emergency Services.
All three shelters are being staffed by the American Red Cross, Nash County Health Department nurses and Department of Social Services workers, Rogers said. Rocky Mount police and the Nash County Sheriff's Office are providing security.
Edgecombe County opened five shelters at 6 p.m. Wednesday in partnership with the Red Cross.
These shelters include D.S. Johnson Elementary School at 600 N. Fairview Road in Rocky Mount; North Edgecombe High School at 7589 NW N.C. 33 in Leggett; Tarboro High School at 1400 Howard Ave. in Tarboro; Martin Millennium Academy at 400 E. Johnston St. in Tarboro and G.W. Carver Elementary School at 604 E. Hamlet St. in Pinetops.
Cots at the shelters will be limited, so residents are asked to bring bedding to help make their stay more comfortable. The shelters do not take cot or food reservations. However, food and water will be available.
None of the Edgecombe County shelters are accepting pets. However, Edgecombe County has opened an animal shelter for cats and dogs only at 2906 Anaconda Road in Tarboro. The shelter will be open limited hours depending on the weather. Residents must bring identification and vaccination records for their pet. Call the Edgecombe County EOC st 824-0108 for details and hours.
The Rev. James Gailliard announced that Word Tabernacle Church will be used as a temporary Red Cross headquarters to house a command station, staff and volunteers who will be leading relief efforts in the area.
The Red Cross is seeking volunteers who can sign up for a six-to-12-hour shift working at local shelters. Licensed nurses and mental health professionals are especially encouraged to volunteer. Anyone interested in volunteering should sign up at redcross.org/enc. Following sign-up, a Red Cross team member will contact applicants. Due to the expected high-volume of applications, Red Cross officials ask for patience as the organization reaches out to volunteers.
Residents seeking shelter at any of the sites are asked to carry clothing and bedding materials along with non-perishable food and any medications or personal items they may need. They should be prepared for at least 72 hours of self-sufficiency once the storm begins as access may be blocked for first responders.
Information regarding shelters will be updated by the state as it becomes available on the ReadyNC app and at rockymounttelegram.com.
Items to bring to a shelter
■ Bedding
■ Clothing for two-to-three days
■ Medications
■ Hygiene Products (toothbrush, toothpaste, wet wipes, etc.)
■ Favorite toys and comfort items for children
Don't Bring:
■ Alcoholic beverages
■ Tobacco products
■ Illegal drugs
■ Weapons
■ Pets, unless the shelter is designated as pet-friendly

The Angels scored early but not late and fell, 6-5, to a Texas Rangers split-squad Friday at Surprise Stadium. The Angels are 11-9 in Cactus League play this spring.
AT THE PLATE: C.J. Cron cooled down from a torrid spring, going 0 for 5. Jefry Marte, his roster competition to split first base alongside Luis Valbuena, went one for three with a walk. … Sporting a low-powered lineup without many likely opening-day starters, the Angels produced 10 hits. Outfielder Eric Young Jr. and infielder Nolan Fontana had two hits apiece. Both are likely to begin the regular season with triple-A Salt Lake.
ON THE MOUND: Left-hander Manny Banuelos relieved starter Alex Meyer and was ambushed by the Rangers. Joey Gallo began by slamming a first-pitch double, and ex-Dodger James Loney followed with a home run, also on the first pitch. Banuelos, a former top prospect ticketed for triple A, settled down and did not allow another run in his two innings. Before Friday, he had thrown 6 2/3 scoreless innings. … Right-handers Mike Morin and Keynan Middleton each fired a scoreless inning. Right-hander Austin Adams allowed three hits and three runs in his inning.
EXTRA BASES: In a concurrent minor league game, right-hander Jesse Chavez permitted six hits and two runs in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three, walked one and threw 68 pitches, 42 for strikes. … Catcher Martin Maldonado threw out a runner trying to steal second base, which he has done successfully six of 10 times this spring.

In a move that is sure to shore up support in Fleming's North Louisiana area, Jeff Landry has picked up the endorsement of Congressman John Fleming.
"Today I'm excited to announce my support of Jeff Landry for Louisiana Attorney General. Jeff is a highly respected Conservative who will protect the freedoms and values so important to the people of Louisiana.
"As a former member of Congress, Jeff was a staunch battler against Washington's long arm of intrusion into our lives and businesses. He worked hard for smaller government, protection of our constitutional freedoms and liberty, and demanded an accountable Congress that answers to the people. As Attorney General, Jeff has the integrity to defend the Louisiana constitution and advocate important issues like consumer safety and fighting crime and corruption. We can trust in him to apply common-sense conservative principles as our Attorney General.
"I am proud to support him today and look forward to seeing him in office."

text: David Jagielski - Monday, July 16, 2018 Hydro One Continues to Slide as the Company Faces a Lot of Uncertainty Under the New Government Hydro One Ltd (TSX:H) continues to drop in price as Ontario Premier Doug Ford has come through on his promise to get rid of the CEO, Mayo Schmidt, as well as the board of directors. Last week he was able to fulfill his promise as Schmidt announced he was retiring and the board had also resigned. Rising utility prices in Ontario enraged many consumers and one of the election promises Doug Ford made was to bring prices down and get rid of the company's leadership. Without majority ownership, many scoffed at his claims and it's surprising that he was able to accomplish his objectives so quickly.The concern from investors is that the Ontario government is using the power it has to attain its political objectives. If the next goal is to bring down prices, then that will certainly have a detrimental impact on the company's financials.There's also the concern of what this might mean for Hydro One's acquisition of Avista Corp (NYSE:AVA), which is still not complete. The deal gave Hydro One a presence in the U.S. and would allow the company to achieve growth beyond just Ontario. From an investor's point of view, it creates a lot of growth opportunities, but consumers in Ontario are concerned that they will become second-class citizens and that the priority for the utility provider would be on the U.S. market rather than on the domestic one.This has created a lot of uncertainty for Hydro One and as a result the stock has dropped by more than 4% last week and in 2018 the share price is down a total of 14%.

Deeds That We Should do during Ramadan
This article was send in by Hafsah
Ali Ermes, jazak Allahu khayran.
The Prophet was the most generous person in doing
good, and he was more generous than ever during Ramadan when he would meet with Jibril. (Al-Bukhari)1.
As-Sadaqah (charity)Whoever feeds the person who is breaking his fast, he will have his reward (for his
fasting) without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person. (Ahmad and At-Tirmithi, and it is Sahih.)2.
Qiyam-ul-Layl (standing at night for prayer):The Prophet said: Whoever stands (for prayer at night) during
Ramadan, with faith and seeking reward, he will be forgiven for his previous sins. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)The
Prophet used to be more active (in prayer) during the nights of Ramadan and during the last ten nights, he would wake
everyone in his family, young and old, whoever was able to perform prayer. (Muslim)3. Recitation of the
Noble Qur'an:As the Prophet used to recite the Noble Qur'an often during Ramadan and Jibril, upon him
be peace, used to review the Qur'an with him during Ramadhan. (Al-Bukhari)The Prophet used to prolong his recitation
for Qiyam (standing in prayer at night) of Ramadan more than he did at other times.Hudhayfah prayed with him one
night and he recited Surah Al-Baqarah, then Aal 'Imran and then An-Nisa'. He did not pass a verse that caused fear
except that he stopped at it and asked (supplicated to Allah). He did not complete two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) until
Bilal came and called him to the prayer (Salat-ul-Fajr}. (Al-Bukhari)4. Al-I'tikaf:This
means staying in the Masjid for worship, seeking to draw nearer to Allah the Almighty. The Prophet performed Al-I'tikaf
and he always made Al-I'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan until Allah the Almighty took him away. This has
been related in the Sahih (of Al-Bukhari)5. 'Umrah:This means visiting the Sacred House of
Allah (the Kaabah) for the performance of Tawaf and Sa'y during Ramadan, as the Prophet said: An 'Umbra performed
during Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj performed with me. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)And he said: Al-'Umrah to Al-'Umrah
is an expiation for whatever (sins were committed) between them. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

The State of Wisconsin is about to approve the 4 strikes bill for one of the drunkest States in the Nation:
MADISON, WI — Repeat drunk drivers will permanently lose their driver's licenses if they are convicted of 4 or more OWI-related offenses under a bill that is awaiting Gov. Scott Walker's signature.
The bill authored by State Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) and State Rept. John Spiros (R-Marshfield) passed the senate in Nov. 2017 on a unanimous vote, and just passed the Assembly Thursday night.
MADISON - Wisconsin would create an "alcohol czar" with police powers and a mandate to toughen enforcement of the state's liquor laws, under a fast-moving proposal from a top GOP senator.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said a committee could hold a hearing as soon as Thursday on his proposal, which would also give a special liquor exemption to the Kohler American Resort.

A woman shocked tourists when she stepped out of a public toilet completely naked.
The woman had no clothes on, not even underwear as she wandered across a promenade in Barcelona, Spain. Stunned families watched her before she was forced back into the toilet by a shirtless man who stepped out of the same toilet after her.
The naked woman forcefully resisted as the man pushed her back in then locked the door before he stood guard outside to make sure she doesn't emerge.
The footage was filmed in the Raval district which has apparently become notorious for anti-social behaviour.
There is speculation the woman may have been the victim of a sexual assault, though this has not been verified. One local is reported to have said the woman is well known in the area as having mental health problems.

Nondestructive testing of asphalt with use of a falling weight deflectometer is a method by which transportation engineers determine the depth and rigidity of a given sample of a roadway without having to destroy the surface to take core samples. A comparison to destructive testing reveals that the cost-savings of nondestructive testing are high. This is primarily because of the reduction in labor.

- Manchester United may lose Marouane Fellani this summer
- The Belgian has reportedly agreed to a pre-summer deal with Besiktas
- Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is a fan of Fellaini's physical prowess and is keen on keeping the Belgian
Premier League giants Manchester United may lose Marouane Fellani as the big Belgian has reportedly agreed to head over to Turkish side Besiktas come summer.
The Belgian international is currently undergoing a rough spell over at the theatre of dreams, which has seen him have very limited game time since the beginning of January.
Send 'NEWS' to 40227 to receive all the important breaking news as it happens
Mourinho has gained a reputation for his preference for physically built players and admires Fellaini's aerial dominance and presence on the pitch.
READ ALSO: Sadio Mane shines as rampaging Liverpool demolish Porto in entertaining Champions League clash
Turkish media, Foto Mac, believes that Fellaini has already decided to seek a more prominent role elsewhere and has apparently signed a pre-contract agreement with Besiktas, to move once his contract expires on June 30, 2018.
READ ALSO: Eden Hazard reportedly looking for house in Spain amid rumours of joining Real Madrid
The 30-year-old rejected United's last offer in September 2017 and talks with his agent have moved at a snail's pace since then.
While it was agreed by Old Trafford officials that they would not sell him in January, they appear to have failed in their attempts to keep him.

News of his reported departure is likely to infuriate Mourinho, who put Manchester United officials under pressure to retain the Belgian powerhouse.
Indeed, Fellaini's prominence has grown after an initial patchy start under Mourinho and is now considered a key figure in the squad.

The lanky midfielder has only had three starts for united so far this year, with most of his playtime seeing him come off the bench, mainly because he has been riddled with injuries.
Mourinho has on several occasions utilised him towards the dying minutes of a game to dismantle attacks and stifle the opposition.

Craig Harrison paid tribute to the belief and perseverance of his players after the grabbed a dramatic injury time winner to take all three points from their clash with Barrow.
Michael Woods got on the end of Nicky Deverdics' perfect delivery from the right to power home a header in the 96th-minute to give Pools their fifth win in the last eight games.
The Pools boss admitted he couldn't remember much about his celebration but insisted that the last-gasp strike was just reward for their endeavours.
"What a way to win a game!" Harrison told Pools PlayerHD.
"I think there was only thirty seconds left so what a time to score – we had pressed and pressed but to be fair there have been opportunities at both ends but Scott Loach made some good saves and there has been some good defending.
"To get a clean sheet and then score in the very last minutes – it's always nice to win a game like that.
"It was just nice for the players because they worked so hard again; no matter what happens in a game, the lads all put a shift in and I was so pleased they got their reward at the end.
"We have talked about getting more balls in the box so it's very apt that a goal has come from a cross and Woodsy finished it off perfectly.
"I think that type of win gives you more spring in your step than a comfortable win does because of the drama at the end – it brings everyone together.
"The boys have to take all the credit because they kept on going and kept on believing they would get a goal."

Construction of One Bloor East by Great Gulf is well underway and headed for street level. The below-grade garage work is ongoing, to be followed by a shopping concourse as well as retail in the first two storeys of the six-storey podium fronting Yonge and Bloor.
The builder, Tucker Hi-Rise Construction, is managing to complete one of the large and complicated underground levels every three weeks now. While this is about a third the speed that the typical floors will take once the building is above the podium, this rate for a lower level where each is different is still fast. The efficiency is in large part due to the company's use of a proprietary 5D 'BEEM' construction modelling system, a customized variation on the industry-standard BIM (Building Information Modeling) that helps in the coordination process to avoid conflict between the trades' work.
UrbanToronto contributor Jack Landau provides photos of the construction site from a wet day last week.
Hariri-Pontarini Architects' sensuous design for One Bloor East will incorporate swept curving balconies with gradually shifting balconies, creating an overall sculptural effect. The sculpting of the building's exterior will carry through into key areas of the interiors, and then develop a more regular form to avoid compromising the suites. Collaborating on the interiors is Cecconi Simone and Janet Rosenberg + Associates is designing the 7th floor outdoor amenity space and landscaping.
The highrise will climb to its ultimate height of 75 storeys and will inevitably become one of the city's better known landmarks. Construction of One Bloor East is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

We become electronically strong as we go on developing. Today we deal with the countless electronic items every now and then. Such a colossal demand for electronic products of various types resulted into the hasty multiplication of electronic industry over the Globe. The consumer electronics section of this industry, particularly, has been witnessing tremendous growth. A number of national and international companies are coming forth, manufacturing various electronic devices and their updated versions.
With the changing production scenario on account of the issues like limited procurement of raw material, space, human resources, etc., electronic industry required to create outsourced manufacturing facilities. This new requirement in the electronic industry, which is accredited as electronic manufacturing services (EMS), is referred to the companies that are involved in designing, assembly, manufacturing, testing and repairing electronic components.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) production was the key process step which had been looked after by the EMS firms, previously.
Vapor Phase Reflow products, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing, Selective solder machines, Surface mount (SMT) lines, Circuit Board Depaneling, Stereo Microscopes, PCB cleaning, Industrial Detergents etc. are what we say yield improvement products. These products protect the PCB during value-added steps involved in the assembly. However, the challenges in manufacturing including shrinking package sizes, high density components along with mounting alloy costs, are increasing these days by leaps and bounds. Hence, leading edge assembly equipment is essential to improve the product quality.
Circuit Board Depaneling is one of the key process steps:
Alike other important steps during assembly; Circuit Board Depaneling is a key process step in high-volume electronics assembly production. This process in used in electronic equipment manufacturing. Along with the continuously reducing size of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) their components also are becoming tinier. Hence, these days it has become a common practice to manufacture a single multi surface board comprising of numerous smaller PCBs, which can be depaneled or disassembled at a particular stage throughout the production process, and can be used as an end product.
Any Circuit Board Depaneling needs to be undertaken with the utmost accuracy to elude any possibility of stress. Since, it is critical to have less stress on the PCB components on account of its delicate nature and the complicated details used in their production.

Kathmandu, May 17
Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) — the telecommunications sector regulator of the country — has said that it will focus on the development of rural telecommunication services in a bid to enhance Nepal's position in the ICT Development Index in the coming years.
As today (May 17) marks the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD 2017), NTA officials said NTA is at present solely focused on promoting telecommunication services in rural parts of country to enhance domestic ICT sector.
Nepal is at the 142nd position in the ICT Development Index 2016, which is published annually by International Telecommunications Union (ITU). "As we have been promoting different telecommunication services in recent times through the Rural Telecommunication Development Fund (RTDF), we are optimistic that telecommunication services will reach rural parts of the country soon," said Min Prasad Aryal, spokesperson for NTA, adding that Nepal can improve in the ICT Development Index.
Nepal was ranked as the 136th nation in ICT Development Index in 2015 among 175 countries who are members of ITU. The ITU publishes annual ICT Index of its members based on people's access to telecommunication services in the respective country, ICT awareness and ICT policies.
As per ITU report, South Korea, Denmark and Iceland are ranked first, second and third in ICT Development Index.
Aryal informed that NTA has undertaken a project to expand broadband facility across all village development committees (VDCs), health and educational institutions, and government offices by 2020. "We have also started work to lay optical fibre along the major highways across the country to ensure that every region of the country is connected with internet facility."
Aryal opined that Nepal's ICT sector will take a giant leap forward within a few years after the completion
of the optical fibre laying process in different places and nationwide expansion of broadband service.
The WTISD 2017 is being observed across the world today with the theme of 'Big Data for Big Impact', focusing on the power of 'Big Data' for development and to explore how to turn imperfect, complex and often unstructured data into actionable information in a development context.

I stumbled across this great initiative on early education in Ghana through good ol' facebook. Titagya Schools is a new project started by Fatawu Abukari, Andrew Garza, and Habib Manzah and aims to provide high quality early education for children in Northern Ghana. What's interesting about this project is the fact that it's a partnership between Ghanaians and an American who never thought they'd be working on early education. As someone who's from northern Ghana and who believes that Ghana's educational system needs some fresh ideas, this was quite a happy find. Hope you guys are as inspired by Titagya (pronounced Ti-tahi-ya).
Andrew Garza (A.G.): I graduated from Haverford College in 2008, majoring in sociology and minoring in economics. After that I worked for another organization that consults with small and medium enterprises in Ghana. Throughout college I'd done a number of internships with similar organizations that promote private sector development in Latin America, the U.S. and also in Ghana. So, about eight months after graduation I worked with some people that I had been in touch with since my internship in Ghana in 2006 and together we started Titagya schools.
[Photo: (R-L)Andrew Garza, Abdul-Fatawu Abukari, Manzah Iddi Habib - co-founders of Titagya schools]
Circumspect: How come you decided on Ghana specifically? Where did that interest come from? Was there a particular experience that made you want to start it?
A.G.: The initial reason why I went to Ghana in 2006 was because the previous summer I had read a book by Jeffery Sachs called The End of Poverty talking about how there are these clusters, there are these poverty traps essentially. And the region that had been slowest to eliminate extreme poverty had been sub-Saharan Africa. So that just got me interested in learning more in the region, and the next summer I wanted to go do an internship in some country in Africa. I had researched different possibilities and Ghana seemed like the best choice for a number of reasons. One, it was English-speaking. Two, it seemed like there was a lot of need. Three it is pretty stable politically , so there weren't any concerns - it's fairly peaceful - so no security concerns essentially. I guess lastly, it seemed like there were some organizations doing very interesting work there. So that's why I originally went to Ghana. So I worked in northern Ghana for two months, and just stayed in touch with a couple of colleagues from that and we decided that northern Ghana would be a great place to start our organization since the income in northern Ghana is half to a third of that in southern Ghana. And literacy rates are far less than half that in southern Ghana, so we thought the need was really there to start our work there.
Circumspect: What made you think of schools? Were you always interested in early education? Was that something you always thought you would do?
A.G.: It's interesting because I think our focus on schools really arose fairly organically. I have two co-founders; one of them is named Fatawu [Abukari] and one of them is named Habib [Manzah]. So Fatawu, for a number of years, about four years, has been working for an educational radio station based in the village where Titagya is also based; it's a village called Dalun . So his radio station had done kind of an informal study in the nearest town with a good early education facility. So they were interviewing teachers at the secondary school there, and found that students in secondary school who had gone to kindergarten performed much better than those who didn't, according to the teachers. So I think that is part of what spurred the initial interest. And at the same time, the community in Dalun - for a long time - had wanted to have a place for young children to go. And it was important culturally too, to them, so older girls in particular wouldn't have to watch their younger siblings. That would free up the older girls also, to go to school. For these various reasons we saw a need for early education.
Fatawu contacted me after that summer I worked in Ghana, saying that he wanted to start a day-care center in Dalun. So, I suggested that we research a little bit more [on] the importance of early education. And we did that. We saw that there are so many positive effects to early education. We saw that it helps develop social skills, motor skills; it prepares children academically with basic language skills – just how important it was. I think in a sense, I've always been interested in education, but I've kind of been a convert myself to the importance of early education. It's not something I've always known I would be interested in, but kind of through a process of research and just seeing how effective it's been in other areas, I've been a convert to that cause. And I think, it's the same for Fatawu and Habib. That's kind of how the idea started.
[Photo: A Titagya school facility in Dalun, northern Ghana]
[Photo: A Titagya school facility in Dalun, northern Ghana]
Circumspect: How did you go about setting it up; with regards funding, staff, building the school structures and so on?
A.G.: In terms of raising money, we just recently opened our first pre-school for 50 students. And our model is going to be in villages throughout northern Ghana. We're specifically focusing on villages rather than towns since that seems to be where the need is greater. We're planning to start these clusters of schools; a cluster will entail one pre-school, one kindergarten and then a shared administrative center and computer center between the two. So the children are exposed to that kind of technology at a fairly young age. That's kind of what we're trying to pursue. We went about raising money mainly by reaching out to personal contacts; initially people in our networks. So Fatawu reaching out to people that he'd worked with in Denmark; he's gone to Denmark a couple of times for training programs. Then I reached out to my network, and we got funding from a small non-profit called Hands on the World Global.
We started small, and it's really around now that we reaching the point where there's really this increasing pressure to scale up, and we're writing larger grants. For instance we recently submitted a grant application for $90,000. So yeah, I think that's kind of part of the process so far. And it's really been Habib and Fatawu managing the process on the ground in Ghana, and then I've been doing a lot of the institutional work here in the U.S. in terms of raising money. In the summer we got incorporated in New York State, and managing interns in the U.S., so those are some of the areas that I focus on.
Circumspect: Where did you go to find the information you needed to decide whether to set up or not. And how did that process go?
A.G.: It's interesting. I would say, Dr. Google, and then - the most important source – I think we relied a lot on Google Scholars to find different reports that focused on the importance of an early education. And we found some great ones; we found a couple of reports by the U.N., we found a report by the Government of Ghana - I believe from 2003 or 2005 - that laid out a vision of how the government wanted to expand its early education program and have almost every primary school in the country have a kindergarten attached to it by 2015. So we thought that was very interesting, that the government was already trying to pursue some of that work. And then, we just found a variety of other studies; a key one that was supported by the University of Sussex in the U.K. So, we tried to look at a variety of sources and it seemed like there was just this general consensus that early education was strongly needed, that many times – and this is throughout a lot of the country in Ghana – that a lot of times children would arrive at primary school and secondary school, not really adequately prepared for the work.They might not be studying effectively because they were not ready for the educational level that they were in at the time. It was just a fascinating, eye-opening process for us. Yeah, there were some nights when I had a hard time going to sleep because it was just amazing reading all of these different reports.
Circumspect: What has the community's reception of the school been? Do you get support from local agencies or the government?
A.G.: In terms of the local community, the reception has been extremely positive in Dalun. I think the opening of the school has been the buzz of the town for quite a while before the opening. At the opening itself, which took place in November [2009] we had more than 120 people come, and the Chief of Dalun came, and he strongly endorsed our strategy and was telling the community that they had a responsibility to help us keep up the school, that parents have to work closely with us, so that we can really offer a very effective education. So we had his strong personal support and that of local politicians, other officials, local head masters as well from other schools, community leadership as well. Most of our parents were there with the students and other community members. It seemed that most people were very excited to have this high quality option for their children. So that's in Dalun.
In terms of working with the government; we're collaborating fairly closely with the government; the government will be paying for three teachers at our school. Naturally, it's an important part of our strategy. That really forces you to scale up what you're doing more effectively, whereas if, I think, non-profits just work on their own in isolation in a country like Ghana - where you do have a fairly reasonable government that you can work with - I think that's an ineffective strategy because you're not really sharing your lessons learned as much as you could be, or gaining from the government's experience in learning about what's worked well in the area and what hasn't.
[Photo: Fatawu showing the Chief of Dalun (yellow gown) some of the books for the school during the opening ceremony of Titagya Schools.]
Circumspect: How many staff do you have and what are their focus areas?
A.G.: We have two administrative staff in Ghana and we have three teachers. In the U.S., I'm the main full-time person and we have a number of people who have been advising us, volunteering for us, helping with fundraising, designing the website, designing marketing material, so really helping in all areas of the organization. So we're fairly reliant on volunteers and their amazing work. I guess that's part of our model.
Circumspect: What's the financial commitment for individuals whose wards attend Titagya schools?
A.G.: We have a policy where 20 percent of our students don't pay anything; and the 20 percent of students are people in the community whose families don't have much money and otherwise would have a very difficult time affording an education at our school. For the other 80 percent, people pay approximately 5 Ghana cedis a month; right now that's about $3.50 a month. We set that rate because it's similar to a couple of other kindergartens in other towns that we enquired about. We thought it was at a level where the money would significantly help us with our operational costs, but it wouldn't be overly burdensome to the families.
Circumspect: What's an average day at Titagya like?
A.G: My average day would probably include some kind of meeting with Fatawu. Until recently we've been using phone cards. But that's quite expensive so we're trying to shift over to Skype, and there's been a little bit of a challenge with that because the reception isn't that clear yet. But, we're trying a couple of different things to make that work better. So it would include a meeting with Fatawu and likely, some kind of fundraising meeting during the day or in the evening. Meeting with a potential funder or meeting with someone who might be interested in helping us to raise money. At the moment one of our key priorities is to get our 501(c)(3) status. So it involves, right now, a fair amount of research into what we need to do, and working on the paperwork for that. Also getting our financial statements into the form that they need to be with to submit properly for 501(c)(3).
In Ghana, the focus recently has been on making sure our first school runs very well. I think that's our top priority. Yeah, the quality has to be very high and I think with any new organization, when you're establishing a model you have to anticipate that there are going to be challenges and be kind of be open to troubleshooting them. So we're really trying to keep our eyes wide open and make sure the quality is very high. So Fatawu spends a lot of time at the school right now in making sure things are going very well. In the near future we're going to be looking at other villages where it would make sense to expand our program in the future. So that's also going to take a fair amount of his time.
Circumspect: Have you had any challenges? Culturally- related to the people you work it? Do speak Dagbani? How does that go?
A.G.: I think that's been one of the most interesting parts of the experience so far. There has been – I don't know if challenge would be the right word – I think certainly that adds an interesting layer to what we do; that there is this element of cross-cultural communication between Habib, Fatawu and I, and others. But it's really been an enriching process for, most importantly, for the school. Because I think when you come from different countries you question one another's assumptions. So there might be, for instance, a certain policy that I think we should have in the school. But Fatawu would say, 'Wow, I don't know if that would work there. Gee, I don't know if that would be culturally appropriate.' There might be other areas where there's something that I suggest we might do, that's not necessarily the norm in the educational system in Ghana - which works well in other areas - and might work well there too. For instance, I think with a number of schools in Ghana – and a couple that we visited – the education, even at an early level, is fairly top-down and almost based on a university style lecture model in some sense; even if it's very young children who can't learn most effectively that way. So part of our model is going to be having a very interactive classroom experience, where there are lots of stories and role-playing games and small group activities to really get the children thinking and excited, and developing their different thinking capabilities. I think that's an instance where it's helpful having people from different areas working on this project because it really helps to germinate new ideas.

I speak a few words of Dagbani. And I've asked Fatawu to send me a list of more words so that I can become more proficient in Dagbani. So I speak a little bit, but I think it's important that I learn more.
Circumspect: Can you tell me about one experience that resonated deeply with you?
A.G.: One experience that was especially strong for me was at the opening of the school when we had most of our first 50 children actually sitting in chairs with their parents, in their uniforms, excited, smiling, running around before the ceremony started. I think that really hit it home for me; how amazing it is that we're starting this up and that this is going to be starting soon at that point. How real it is. A lot of my personal work has taken place from the U.S.; getting ideas for the curriculum, incorporating that with the town's curriculum, raising money, marketing and all of these things. But I think being on the ground and meeting some of the children and seeing them in their uniforms; that was pretty impactful for me.

Circumspect: What exactly does "Titagya" mean? Where did that name come from?
A.G.: "Titagya" means "we have changed" in Dagbani. It was Fatawu's idea to take that name. It's interesting because I think in Dagbani it has slightly different connotations than in English. In Dagbani it has very positive connotations, more along the lines of "we have grown". We thought that was a great name to talk about how education can really transform someone's life opportunities.
Circumspect: Where do you see Titagya in the next five to ten years?
A.G.: With Titagya, I see us expanding fairly progressively throughout northern Ghana. I think initially in the northern region and the total Kumbungu district; but eventually in many other areas. I expect, within five years, to have schools in a number of parts in Northern Ghana. We're planning to have three schools in 2010; three more schools. In addition to that, we are planning to start a scholarship program for children who need assistance to pay their school fees and buy their books for primary and secondary school. And a third component of what we're doing , that we're weighing at the moment – kind of a strategic decision - is deciding how we're going to ensure that children who go to our school and finish well and have this great head start, how we continue that momentum.
I think the direction that we're leaning with that is to have a program where we work with other local primary and secondary schools to help refurbish the physical structures. For instance, in schools where they need help to put things like fans so children can focus better in the very hot dry season. So items like that. And also helping in areas where it's desired, to incorporate more interactive exercises in the curricula; to really strengthen the academic foundation of the children going forward. Lastly, just partnering with the government; especially to get their feedback on what we're doing and see suggestions they might have for improvement. And where appropriate, offering our suggestions on ways that public schools might be strengthened based on our experience.
Circumspect: What about Ghana's educational system?
A.G: I think what we're really hoping to be a part of – we've seen that spending on schools had increased towards the final years of the Kuffour administration in northern Ghana, certainly continues under the new administration, although it's not clear to us exactly how much. We're hoping to be an important partner with the government as it tries to scale up early education and the government has already identified that as a priority early. Yeah, we're hoping to be a useful partner in that area. I'm certainly hoping and expecting that Ghana will have success in instituting a greater quantity of very high quality early education facilities.

Circumspect: What words of advice do you have for young people who are interested in pursuing projects like yours?

Circumspect: What words of advice do you have for young people who are interested in pursuing projects like yours?
A.G.: If people are still in college - or high school even - I would certainly suggest taking relevant classes. Taking classes in a variety of areas: economics, sociology, political science. I think they come to mind for just being, kind of, an institutional sense of how change happens. And then, things like writing classes, English classes, other languages – they're also important for how you can convey your ideas. And I would say, even technical classes like accounting, corporate finance, statistics; I think those could be very useful for some of the nuts and bolts activities of running an organization. I guess I would suggest taking a variety of classes in the areas that people are interested in. Also, going out of their comfort area a little bit to take some of these other classes. Meet speakers; reach out to alumni in areas that people are interested in. That's kind of in an academic and networking sense.

Aside from that, I would also definitely suggest trying to get some great relevant internship experience in a variety of fields, especially concentrating on areas that the person is interested in. Maybe one or two summers where it's something that's a different experience that you think you'll be interested in. So for instance if you're planning to go into healthcare and do that from the non-profit sector, maybe spending one sector working in the private sector so you have that experience as well. Yes, I think I would definitely suggest taking advantage of the internships for all that you can.

If your first introduction to riesling was in the form of Blue Nun, that oh-so-popular incarnation that ruled in the '70s, or if you dismiss it as a sweet wine (and you just don't like sweet wine), you need to get reacquainted with what is easily one of the most misunderstood white wine grapes in the world. Sure, some of the finest and richest dessert wines are made from riesling, and at all levels, it can have some residual sugar, but that is typically balanced by crisp acidity. Still, for this go-around, we limited ourselves to dry riesling--those with sugar levels below the threshold of sweetness--and the winners came from three widely separated regions. Here are the panel's picks for one of the world's best wines, perfect for spring and summer sipping:
2007 Dr. von Basserman-Jordon Riesling, Trocken, $18.99
The German word "trocken" translates as dry, which this wine definitely is. It offers classic riesling aromas of ripe peach, citrus and spicy apple with an intriguing bit of diesel, which is definitely varietal and smells better than it sounds. Creamy peach and juicy nectarine fruit play against crisp citrus and grapefruit on the palate. This is an exceptionally well-balanced wine, and the finish lingers nicely.
2008 Vale Riesling, $13.99
Bright and zesty aromas are highlighted by sweet lime, pineapple and mandarin orange with a light touch of nutmeg. The green apple and citrus fruit flavors are crisp and lively, dominating the palate and showing persistence through the long, smooth finish. Score one for an Idaho winery as Vale continues to prove that their world-class offerings are worthy.
2007 Yalumba Riesling, $9.99
This Australian entry opens with soft honeysuckle, gooseberry, grapefruit and ripe apple on the nose, backed by a nice hint of mineral. Light and refreshing in the mouth, that mineral element comes through as well, complementing the sweet grapefruit and tart apple flavors that linger nicely. This is a well-made, bone-dry riesling with a refreshing finish that is punctuated by a nice hit of lemon zest.
Update: Idaho Wine Competition: It's been brought to my embarrassed attention that I left out one of the Gold Medal winners: the 2006 Parma Ridge Reserve Merlot, an outstanding wine dense with dark cherry aromas and filled with beautiful berry fruit flavors backed by smooth, ripe tannins. My apologies for the unintentional omission of this top- flight wine. :
This week's panel: David Kirkpatrick, Boise Co-op Wine Shop; Cindy Limber, Bardenay; Karen McMillin, Young's Market; Kevin Settles, Bardenay.

Troy boy: meet the hot Trojans in the new must-see TV drama
An eight-part series will go deeper into the legend of Troy than any Hollywood epic. Gabriel Tate meets the cast and crew on set
There are as many potential pitfalls as there are rewards in returning to a story as familiar as the siege of Troy— while most people know it's a corker, that means most people know it already. Even for those unversed in Greek mythology, calling a series Troy: Fall of a City gives away the ending and raises the question: Why bother? Yet for David Farr, who was nominated for an Emmy for his adaptation of The Night Manager, there is never a bad time to return to a rollicking yarn, the relevance of which remains undimmed by numerous renditions. "The entire Trojan War was fought for love," he says. "That's why the story resonates so profoundly."

The painter is quite popular and needed profession.
The essay on drawing. An unexpected key phrase. We employed to take college topic "attracting" as being a useful training, as simple enough and never even extremely serious subject matter. However, the piece of art is equally research and art, and competence of diverse methods, various tools. And the painter – is a type of profession. Even though now it's generally called a fashionable. But at the key of both disciplines is the opportunity to attract and capability to view the world with a particular artistic eyes.
Shop around:
- about the wall of your respective room there are pasted wallpapers, these were very first coloured by performer;
- textile your clothing is sew with, employed with a photo – it is, as well, was drawn by an performer;
- you select up the candies – on the wrapper you will find a image and this really is the task from the designer.
This list is endless. It indicates the painter job is usual and popular, and pulling lessons are very useful rather than worthwhile to treat them gently. To the contrary, it really is needed to interest students in sketching, explain to regarding the disciplines relevant to the capability to attract.
Institution subject matter "drawing" is the two a form of art plus a scientific research.
As for the abstract piece of art, you will discover a great deal of exciting topics, since sketching is a innovative procedure and that this entails, also, is interesting, entertaining and curious.
Here, for example, this kind of relatively straightforward item just like a pencil. And about this topic, you can write a very intriguing document, about its background, who first developed and very first crafted a pencil how pencils were made a couple of ages earlier, exactly what can be driven using only one pencil. And that's merely the story about 1 issue. And also the total background of art has much more fascinating details. You can https://trymobilespy.com share your slideshows on social networks, by sending a link to a page containing your slideshow via im or email, or even embed it on your own blog or website.
It is possible to, for example, propose the following topics for that essay on drawing:
- pulling materials (pen, chalk, light, sanguine, watercolor, gouache, crayon, charcoal, ink);
- pulling resources;
- non-standard painting strategies with children of preschool era (palm, fingertips, wrinkled papers), and which famous designers also applied very similar techniques in their function (as an example , Salvador Dali);
- jobs that assist musicians to exist (chemists, companies of material, baguettes, miners, exploration unprocessed fabric for paints, etc. );
- understanding how to draw in Russian federation at various grows older;
- crafts and arts;
- the fantastic artists;
- renowned illustrators;
- post-greeting card being a independent sort of applied craft (record, changes of charge cards over time, varieties of credit cards, modern ways of making charge cards).
Producing essay about understanding how to draw
The essay is probably the methods to engage an individual understanding the niche. In this subject matter as sketching, this is not hard. The creative careers will always be demonstrated excited attention. Perhaps not everyone who looks intriguing, can figure out how to bring well. Continue to pulling, like all art work, requires a skill. But for individuals individuals by using a innovative streak it will produce a desire for attracting can help you to unlock, get a favored occupation. And all sorts of details obtained during the planning and composing from the document, will contribute to the development of comprehensively created person. The attention for the craft built into man nature instead of unintentionally, it demonstrated even just in primitive people. No need to say it about present day folks who suffer from each and every possibility to build their innovative capabilities.

A man and a woman who either live with each other or are in a relationship got into a public struggle Wednesday morning when one tried to retrieve a phone the other person had.
Both were charged with breach of peace; no one was reported injured.
The Darien police description of the incident followed state law in not giving any identifying information about the two. The police account identified neither of them as a juvenile or said either was sent to juvenile court, so we can assume they were a man and a woman.
With minor editorial style changes, here's the complete account, in the words of the announcement (which includes accusations not proven in court):
Incident Type: Domestic Disturbance
Incident # 2017-018172
Blotter Date/Time Dec. 27, 10:26 a.m.
Location: Noroton Avenue
Officers were dispatched to the area of Noroton Avenue for the report of an assault in progress between a male and female. The male had left the scene, but was located by responding officers and returned to the residence.
One of the parties involved stated they dropped off the other earlier that morning at the train station, and that the other party accidentally left their cell phone in the vehicle.
The two met at the gas station at 164 Noroton Ave., where the phone was to be returned. An argument ensued between the two, resulting in one of the parties leaving the area on foot, with the other following in order to retrieve their phone.
A brief physical altercation ensued on Noroton Avenue as the two fought over the cell phone in question. The owner of the cell phone eventually ended up taking it from the other party, and the two parted ways.
The second involved party gave a similar version of events, as did two witnesses. Both parties were issued misdemeanor summons requiring their appearance in court.
Both were charged with breach of peace and given a court date of Dec. 28 in state Superior Court in Stamford.
