All Items: Antiques:Regional Art:Ancient World:Roman:Pottery: Pre AD 1000: item # 1224094
Aweidah Gallery - Jerusalem based gallery
P.O.Box 51067 - Jerusalem, ISRAEL
Guest Book
Aweidah Gallery is pleased to offer this rare North African black slipware oil lamp depicting the biblical scene of the two spies Yehoshua Ben Nun and Kalev standing frontally, carrying a gigantic bunch of grapes on a pole between them returning from their 40 days exploratory mission after spying out the land of Canaan (Num.13-23)
Around the scene are a row of concentric circles with interior lozenges with dots, alternating with squares filled with checkerboard pattern
A real master specimen. Would simply make a major addition to the finest antiquities collection
Measurements: Length: 10.5 cm Width 6 cm
Condition: Intact, not repaired and not restored
The representation of stories and events from the Hebrew Bible has been a common decorative element in both Jewish and Christian art for centuries. This lamp exemplifies the customs in its depiction of the return of the men sent by Moses from the wilderness into the land of Canaan to spy out the nature of the land and its inhabitants.
Upon the return from the land of Israel, we read how the ten spies attempted to sway the minds of the people that the task before them was impossible. The first to speak up in defense of the land was Kalev:
[The spies declared] - "However, the people that dwells in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very great, and we also saw the children of Anak there. Amalek lives in the land of the Negev, and the Chitti and the Yevusi and the Emori dwell in the mountain, and the Canaani dwell by the sea and alongside the Yarden"
After the people are persuaded by the spies, with Moshe and Aharon powerless before them, then Yehoshua also speaks:
"And Yehoshua bin-Nun and Kalev ben-Yefuneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their garments. And they said to all of the congregation of Bnei Yisrael, saying: The land which we passed through to spy it out is an exceedingly good land. If God favors us then He will bring us to this land and give it to us; a land that flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against God, and have no fear of the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their guard has departed from them and God is with us; do no fear them. But all the congregation said to stone them with stones" (verses 6-10).
Finally, we note that when Hashem punishes the people, he mentioned them twice again differentiating between Yehoshua and Kalev:
"For all of these people who have seen My glory and My wonders which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tried Me these ten times, and have not listened to My voice they will not see the land which I promised to their fathers, nor shall those who have provoked Me see it. But My servant Kalev, since a different spirit was with him, and he followed Me fully therefore I shall bring him to the land into which he went, and his seed will possess it." (14:22-24)
"Say to them: As I live, says God, as you have spoken in My ears, so I shall do to you. Your carcasses will fall in this wilderness, and all those of you who were counted, by your numbers, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against Me you will not come to the land concerning which I swore to make you dwell there, except for Kalev ben-Yefuneh and Yehoshua bin-Nun and the men whom Moshe sent to spy out the land, and then returned and complained about it to the entire congregation, speaking evil of the land those men, who spoke evil of the land, will die in a plague before God. But Yehoshua bin-Nun and Kalev ben-Yefuneh lived, of those men who had gone to spy out the land." (28-38)

Waiting Lists And Patient Selection
AbstractWe develop a model of waiting lists for public hospitals when physicians deliver both private and public treatment. Public treatment is free but rationed, i.e., only cases meeting some medical criteria are admitted for treatment. Private treatment has no waiting time but entails payment of a fee. Both physicians and patients take into account that each patient treated in the private practice schedule reduces the waiting list for public treatment. We show that physicians do not necessarily select the mildest cases from the waiting list. We provide sufficient conditions on the rationing policy under which cream skimming is always partial. We show that, to a large extent, one can by-pass the analysis of doctors' behaviour in the characterization of patient selection.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Big and Soft and doesn''t bleed into the wash. :) I bought pink so my boys wouldn''t touch my swim towel.
Love these Royal Blue Beach Towels. Go great with the Lime Green Towels I also purchased. I plan on using these at the beach this Summer. Very well made towels and love the softness of them. I would recommend these to everyone.
This is a good towel for the pool or the beach. It is a good thickness and soft to the touch
Use this towel at least 3x/week for water aerobics. Very absorbent and great size. Dries easily on a line.
I bought these to give as gifts to my bridesmaids for my beach wedding. I'm very happy with them - soft, big, and not nearly as expensive as other venues. I can't wait to get them monogrammed (and I'm glad I got one for myself!) Very happy with my purchase.
Very nice thickness to these beach towels. I recommend this product.
The reviews led me to buy this particular Towel in a variety of colors - It is soft, absorbent, and the 64" wrap all around you!
Plushy velveteen and good size. I like the color. It is a blueberry purple . I have not washed it but it appears to have enough nap that it will be useful for years to come. I only need two but if they die, then I will be back. T
I have purchased this towel in almost every color. Nice weight and feels good.
I love this towel , everyone at home loves it, especially the kids by the pool.

Now that we're moving into the holiday season, Mariah Carey 's modern standard "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is once again topping the Holiday Digital Songs Chart, which prompted the singer to take to Facebook to reminisce about the song and its journey.
" Today on the street, a group of fans stopped me and started singing 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' at the top of their lungs," she writes. "Amazing. So many people tell me: 'The holiday season doesn't start for us until we hea r "All I Want For Christmas Is You"...' Surreal."
"I humbly thank them but inside I'm jumping up and down like a second grader on a snow day because I WROTE AND PRODUCED that song on a whim!!! To hear this and to see 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' at #1...I kinda still can't believe it!," she adds.
Mariah then talks about writing the song in the middle of the summer, "in a little studio decorated for Christmas," adding, "I never realized that people would grow up listening to and singing along with my songs like I grew up listening to 'Jingle Bells' or 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town.'"
The singer then noted that the #2 song on the Holiday Digital Songs Chart is "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill , which Mariah herself actually co-wrote for the movie The Grinch Who Stole Christmas . "It blows my mind and makes me feel like that second grader on a snow day again!!" she writes.
She finishes by thanking everyone for "consistently supporting my Christmas music year after year." "It is so much more than holiday music for me," she writes. "It's about joy, nostalgia and it's about never losing the spirit of Christmas in your heart. Happy (very early) holidays!"

Relationship of English Context and the Function of English Grammar
Context is the constraint element to the communicative function of grammar and the determinative element in the structural function of it; moreover, it is also the sole standard to judge the appropriacy of the sentence structure. This paper holds a discussion on the relationship of context and the function of grammar, and puts emphasis on the essential role of context in it by giving the specific examples as well.

Davis Internship
Lisa Jones with the Amazing Kids Choir from Oak Hill Elementary
Lisa Jones, from near Aberystwyth, Wales, is the third Davis Intern. Lisa is a graduate of Trinity Saint David in Carmarthen, Wales, and first visited Rio Grande in the spring of 2009 when she participated in the Welsh exchange program. Lisa is working on a variety of projects and loves teaching Welsh language and songs to school children.
The Davis Internship program grew out of the need to have a fluent Welsh-speaker on campus to help with the projects and programs of the Madog Center and also to do out-reach in the surrounding Welsh-American community.
Thanks to the generous support of Even and Elizabeth Davis, Of Oak Hill, the internship has been ongoinging since the summer of 2007 when the terms of the Davis Scholarship were transmuted into the Davis Internship.
Sioned Wyn, from Cardiff, Wales, was the first Davis intern. She was working as a translator for the Cardiff Counsel when she saw our advertisement and decided to interview for the position. After being selected, Sioned packed up her things and flew over to Rio Grande to spend the next year working in the Madog Center.

Lucy Hannah Thomas, from Nantycws, near Carmarthen, was the second Davis Intern. Lucy has spent the spring term of her second year at the University of Rio Grande as a participant in the exchange program we have with University of Wales, Trinity Saint David. After she graduated in 2009, she planned a visit to campus as part of her summer in the US. It was during that month she spent with us as a volunteer at the center that we knew she would be our next intern. Because of her background in theater, Lucy worked with Dr. Greg Miller on a number of theatrical productions while she was in Rio Grande.

Dr. Shrike Kumanyika, Vice-Chair of the Committee, welcomed the Committee members and thanked them for their contributions to the development of Healthy People 2020. She informed the group that Dr. Fielding was unable to participate due to a scheduling conflict, but might join the later. Dr. Kumanyika explained that the main focus of the meeting would be to review, discuss, and vote on the Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicator (LHIs) recommendations that had been put forth by the Subcommittee. The recommendations would be submitted to the Secretary after the meeting. Members would also hear updates from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) on the timeline for releasing a set of LHIs, as well as the other Healthy People 2020 implementation activities.
Dr. Kumanyika provided background on the purpose and function of the LHIs. The LHIs are a set of measures that is released every decade to track the health status of the nation and progress of Healthy People in improving the health of Americans. LHI's have been used to focus on a small number of social and health issues. They also play an important role in: communicating about the national health objectives to the public; motivating action; and providing feedback on the progress towards achieving those goals.
At the April 13th meeting of the Secretary's Advisory Committee on National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for 2020 (the Committee), ODPHP charged the Committee with developing recommendations for a set of LHIs for Healthy People 2020. The Committee heard from Dr. David Nerenz, who had chaired the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2020, which recently released recommendations for a set of LHIs. Since then, a Subcommittee on LHIs was convened and consulted with outside experts to develop the a set of LHI recommendations.

At the 19th meeting of the Standing Committee, in late October 1996, World Wetlands Day was officially designated for 2 February of every year, the anniversary of the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971, as an opportunity for governments, organizations, and citizens to undertake big and small actions intended to raise public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular.
This page is part of a series of reports on activities held on and about WWD '98 in various countries of the world, as reported to the Bureau. If you should know of any other activities not mentioned on these pages, send us a note (email@example.com) and we'll add it to this list.

We are pleased to submit to the Bureau a report on the activities of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources relative to the observance of the World Wetlands Day in February 1998.
As presented in the attached matrix and photo documentary, a combination of exhibits, lectures, symposia, clean-up drives, and field exposures to nearby wetlands were undertaken. Regional Offices were also able to negotiate press releases, TV coverage, and radio plugs for live interviews and feature stories on wetlands.
At the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau, activities included the distribution of World Wetland Day posters and other information materials for the Regional Offices and general public and negotiation for press releases in the vanous dailies. Several meetings were held in the month of February with concerned government agencies and non-govemment organizations representatives for the formation of a group of wetland workers and advocates in the country. A Society for the Conservation of Philippine Wetlands was eventually organized and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is expected that such a group will be a future active partner of the Department in the advocacy works and implementation of the vanous plans and programs on wetlands, particularly the Philippine Wetland Action Plan.
With my best regards.
Very truly yours,
Wilfrido S. Pollisco, Director

The first clip has arrived online for supernatural love story Beautiful Creatures, in which Emmy Rossum vamps it up as a gorgeous sorceress partial to the dark side.
The film is set in small-town Southern America, and follows the star-crossed relationship between Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) and Lena (Alice Englert), the latter of whom belongs to a grand old family of "casters"… witches and wizards to you and us.
Rossum plays Lena's older sister, and as you can see from the latest clip, she certainly knows how to make an entrance.
Take a look, below:
While the film's core themes of thwarted love and burgeoning magical powers might be par for the course in this sort of young-adult saga, there's a lot to like about the Southern Gothic stylings of Beautiful Creatures, with its drawling accents and crumbling old mansions.
Directed by Richard LaGravenese and co-starring Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons and Viola Davis, Beautiful Creatures opens in the UK on 13 February 2013.

Dr Roper and her staff are excellent in every way - Professional, caring, polite, etc. Unfortunately, she is very booked these days as everyone loves her!

Excellent,nice,thorough and very knowledgeable doctor and staff. Because she is such a good doctor and so thorough, they need to schedule less people per day. I waited 1:15 past my appt. time and another long-term patient told me she has never waited less than an hour past hers. I felt it was worth it, after bad experiences with two other area Dermatologists.

The Annotated Ramsar List: Uganda
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Uganda on 4 July 1988. Uganda presently has 12 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 454,303 hectares.
National Wetland Policy of Uganda (text)
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates

sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Lake Bisina Wetland System. 15/09/06; Kumi, Katakwi, Soroti; 54,229 ha; 01°43'N 033°54'E. Important Bird Area. A shallow freshwater lake with a thin strip of fringing papyrus swamp, part of the Lake Kyoga Basin lakes. Water lilies, a declining habitat in much of Uganda, dominate the shallow areas, which is important for its diversity of macrophytes. It is used as a feeding ground by wading birds, including the globally vulnerable Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex). The system is also important as a refuge for fish species that have gone extinct in the main Ugandan lakes such as Lakes Victoria and Kyoga. The lake is very important for the surrounding communities in terms of fishing, transport, and supply of water for domestic use and livestock. It is especially critical during times of famine, e.g., a rhizome of the Nymphea genus is used as food during droughts. The site falls outside the Karamoja Protected Area system and there are no legal protections proposed. A community-based management plan has been prepared, and a local fisheries association promotes sustainable fisheries development. Ramsar site no. 1633. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Lake George. 04/03/88; Bushenyi, Kasese, Kamwenge; 15,000 ha; 00º07'N 030º02'E. Added to the Montreux Record, 4 July 1990. Biosphere Reserve; National Park. A complex of river systems emanating from the Rwenzori Mountains supplying a system of permanent swamps located on Lake George, in the Rift Valley. Vegetation consists of grassland, woodland, and three major swamp types. The site supports large mammals, including elephants, hippopotamus, and antelope, and is important for numerous species of wintering Palearctic waterbirds and various notable resident birds. Mine water seepage, agricultural runoff, and effluent inputs are impacting the site. A research station is located on the site. Chemical seepage from Kilembe mines and inflow of agricultural chemicals into the wetland resulting from the Mubuku Irrigation Scheme have led to listing on the Montreux Record in 1990. Ramsar site no. 394. Most recent RIS information: none.
Lake Mburo-Nakivali Wetland System.15/09/06; Mbarara; 26,834 ha; 00°40'S 030°57'E. National Park (partly). A system of open and wooded savanna, seasonal and permanent wetlands, and five lakes, of which Lake Mburo is by far the largest. The system is a unique habitat, lying at the convergence of two biological zones, giving it very high biodiversity. It supports globally threatened species of birds such as the Papyrus Yellow Warbler and Shoebill, and provides refuge to 22 species of Palaearctic and Afro-tropical migrant birds during adverse conditions. It supports two of the endangered cichlid fish species which have gone extinct in the main lakes, and it is the only area in Uganda in which the Impala is found. The site is also of immense socio-economic value as a source of water for domestic use, livestock and wildlife; pasture for the local herds during droughts; fish; and materials for crafts and thatching. The park is also used for tourism and scientific research. Hunting, habitat destruction and over-fishing are the main threats to the area. The Wetland Inspection Division in collaboration with Uganda Wildlife Authority is to develop a management plan for the site. Ramsar site no. 1634. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Lake Nabugabo wetland system.11/02/04; Masaka; 22,000 ha; 00°24'S 031°54'E. A shallow freshwater lake 8.2km long by 5km wide, with three smaller lakes, separated from Lake Victoria by a sand bar ca.2km wide; there are no surface outflows from the lakes, only seepage through the sand bank. The lakes, separated from Victoria for the past 3,700 years, are very interesting for the fish and their evolutionary history: several endemic fish remain that have become depleted or extinct in Victoria by the introduction of Nile perch. The lakes are an important migratory stopover-destination for migratory bird species - at times during the year, the site (listed as an Important Bird Area) holds more than 15% of the world's population of the Blue Swallow and support five globally threatened and near-threatened birds: Blue Swallow Hirundo atrocaerulea, Shoe Bill Balaeniceps rex, Great Snipe Gallinago media, Pallied Harrier Circus macrourus, and the Papyrus Gonolek Laniarius mufumbi. The system supports a high diversity of plant species, including insectivores of the family Droseraceae. The lakes have long served local communities for subsistence and commercial fish, sources of water, and handicraft materials; under population pressures, crop cultivation and dairy farming are increasing. There are a number of holiday and conference centres, and boating and swimming are especially popular as the lake has a reputation for being free of schistosomiasis (bilharzia). Under the national constitution (1995), all wetlands are held in trust for the people, though some farms and resorts have long-term leases. Ramsar site no. 1373. Most recent RIS information: 2004.
Lake Nakuwa Wetland System. 15/09/06; Kamuli, Pallisa, Soroti; 91,150 ha; 01°15'N 033°31'E. Important Bird Area. A permanent wetland associated with a number of satellite lakes and a swamp system dominated by dense papyrus, broken in parts by pools of water-forming sudds (clumps of floating papyrus). In addition to supporting the Sitatunga and the Nile Crocodile, the system and its satellite lakes contain the most diverse cichlid species assemblage and are a haven for a number of non-cichlid species no longer found in the large lakes of Kyoga and Victoria. The system provides refuge to fish taxa that have been reported extinct in the main lakes, thanks to the protection accorded by the aquatic vegetation around the lakes, which prevented the Nile perch from spreading there. The wetland also plays an important role in flood prevention, water purification and groundwater recharge. It is probably one of the remaining pristine wetland areas in Uganda due to its remoteness and sparse population in the immediate catchment, and it offers employment to a number of fishermen. The papyrus is used for making mats, thatching, and crafts. The potential threats to fish species diversity include human exploitation, collection of ornamental fish for export, degradation of the fish habitat, spread of the Nile Perch, and water hyacinth. Papyrus over-harvesting and land reclamation for agriculture also constitute a threat. Ramsar site no. 1635. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Lake Opeta Wetland System. 15/09/06; Nakapiripirit, Sironko, Katakwi, Kumi; 68,912 ha; 01°42'N 034°14'E. Important Bird Area. One of the remaining intact and probably most important wetland marshes in Uganda. It is predominantly an extensive swamp of Vossia cuspidata to the east and south graduating into dry Hyparrhenia grassland savannas. The wetland is of great importance for the conservation of birds, and Fox's weaver, Uganda's only endemic bird, has been recorded in the swamp breeding. The site is also important as a refuge for fish species that have gone extinct in the main lakes, including Lakes Victoria and Kyoga. During the dry season the site provides the only refuge for animals from the Pian-Upe wildlife reserve. The area is mainly used by the Karimojong and the Pokot people for grazing their animals in the dry season. It serves as a source of fish protein at both subsistence and commercial level, and cultivation (maize, millet and plantain) is carried out in the catchment. Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve has potential for big game viewing and birdwatching, but because of the insecurity, tourism development has been minimal and the reserve does not generate any revenue. A community-based wetland management plan will be ready by January 2007. Ramsar site no. 1636. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Lutembe Bay Wetland System. 15/09/06; Wakiso; 98 ha; 00°10'N 032°34'E. Important Bird Area. Situated at the mouth of Lake Victoria's Murchison Bay, this shallow area is almost completely cut-off from the main body of Lake Victoria by a C. papyrus island. The site supports globally threatened species of birds, endangered Cichlid fish, and over 100 butterfly species, including three rare ones. It is a breeding ground for Clarias and lungfish, and regularly supports more than 52% of the White-winged Black Terns (Chlidonias leucopterus) population. The system plays an important hydrological role, with the swamps surrounding the Murchison Bay acting as natural filters for silt, sediments and excess nutrients in surface run-off, wastewaters from industries, and sewage from Kampala City. Lutembe Bay is being reclaimed and decimated for horticultural activities and the surrounding highly populated areas have been strongly affected by commercial and industrial development, urban wastewater, and conversion to agricultural land. A number of NGOs have been conducting conservation education activities in and around Lutembe, with the Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC) only about 5 km from the bay. Ramsar site no. 1637. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Mabamba Bay Wetland System. 15/09/06; Wakiso, Mpigi; 2,424 ha; 00°07'N 032°21'E. Important Bird Area. An extensive marsh stretching through a narrow and long bay fringed with papyrus towards the main body of Lake Victoria - the only swamp close to Kampala where one can easily find the globally-threatened Shoebill (Balaeniceps rex). The site supports an average of close to 190,000 birds and is part of the wetland system which hosts approximately 38% of the global population of the Blue Swallow (Hirundo atrocaerulea), as well as the globally-threatened Papyrus Yellow Warbler and other birds of global conservation concern. The site supports a lucrative fisheries activity and is a source of fish for home consumption and commercial use, as well as of raw material for local crafts, building materials, water for domestic and livestock use, and non-wood products. Factors needing attention are the dry season incursion into the swamp by fishermen; hunting of the Sitatunga by local people; the proliferation of the Water Hyacinth; and the poaching of Shoebill. The proliferation of flower farms along the shores of Lake Victoria and the use of agrochemicals is likely to have an impact. NatureUganda spearheaded the development of a National Important Bird Areas Conservation Strategy (NIBACS) that highlights measures and strategies for the conservation of the Bay. Ramsar site no. 1638. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Murchison Falls-Albert Delta Wetland System. 15/09/06; Masindi, Gulu; 17,293 ha; 01°57'N 031°42'E. National Park (partly), Important Bird Area. The site stretches from the top of Murchison Falls, where the River Nile flows through a rock cleft some 6m wide, to the delta at its confluence with Lake Albert. The convergence between Lake Albert and the delta forms a shallow area that is important for waterbirds, especially the Shoebill, Pelicans, Darters and various heron species. The delta is an important spawning and breeding ground for Lake Albert fisheries, containing indigenous fish species; the rest of the site is dominated by rolling savannas and tall grass with increasingly thick bush, woodlands and forest patches in the higher and wetter areas to the south and east. It forms a feeding and watering refuge for wildlife in the National Park during dry seasons. Murchison Falls are one of the main tourist attractions and recreation areas in Uganda, and the site is of social and cultural importance to the people of the area: livestock grazing; fishing, with fish exported to DR Congo and also used to feed the refugees in camps in northern Uganda; illegal hunting for game, etc. Conflicts between fishermen and crocodiles are common. The site has been proposed for UNESCO World Heritage status. Ramsar site no. 1640. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Nabajjuzi Wetland System.15/09/06; Masaka, Sembabule, Mpigi; 1,753 ha; 00°46'S 031°41'E. Important Bird Area. A long narrow stretch of swamp from the periphery of Masaka to the major Katonga River system. It provides a spawning ground for mudfish and lungfish, and supports globally threatened bird species and the endangered Sitatunga. The site lies in traditional Buddu county of Buganda Kingdom, and some of the flora and fauna are closely associated with cultural norms and traditions, especially the totems. There is thus considerable cultural attachment of the surrounding areas to the wetland, which also plays an important role in stabilizing the banks of River Nabajjuzi, groundwater recharge, flood control and as a natural filter for silt and sediments in the runoff. The wetland is the source of water supply for nearby townships and provides fish, clay, papyrus, medicine and game meat (Sitatunga). Over the past 20 years there has been increased commercialisation of the resource products and some of the surrounding areas have been built up into trading centres and small towns, causing increased demand for resources. Water pollution from a tannery adjacent to the wetland is a big threat. The Wetlands Inspection Division and NGOs such as NatureUganda are implementing conservation and ecotourism activities. Ramsar site no. 1639. Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Rwenzori Mountains Ramsar Site.13/05/09; Kasese, Kabarole, Bundibugyo; 99,500 ha; 00°25'N 030°00'E. Within National Park, World Heritage Site, Important Bird Area. Noted by Ptolemy in AD 300 as the Lunis Montae ("Mountains of the Moon"), this site has continued to fascinate. The entire Afro-alpine ecosystem (between 1,600 and 5,100 meters asl.) is unique; with the contribution of high rainfall and the melting of snow from the peaks, various wetland types are present such as peatlands, freshwater lakes, and tundra, amongst others. The mountains are known to support 21 species of small mammals, including the endemic and vulnerable Ruwenzori Shrew. Other species of global conservation concern include L'Hoest's monkey, Horseshoe bat, and Rockefeller's Sunbird. With the distribution of fish varying with altitude, several indigenous fish species are found within the site, with the most common Cyprinid species including Varicorhinus rwenzorii. The Rwenzori Mountains continue to face challenges from increasing population pressure resulting in increased demand for agricultural land, growing tourism, and climate change, despite the stringent protection measures in place within the Park. Through its designation as a state-owned National Park, it is covered by a management plan that allows activities such as tourism, firewood collection, research, etc., to be carried out in zoned areas only. The National Park is contiguous with the Parc national des Virunga Ramsar site in DR Congo to the west. Ramsar site no. 1861. Most recent RIS information: 2009.
Sango Bay-Musambwa Island-Kagera Wetland System (SAMUKA).15/09/06; Masaka, Rakai; 55,110 ha; 00°55'S 031°46'E. Important Bird Area. A mosaic of wetland types including the biggest tract of swamp forest in Uganda, papyrus swamps, herbaceous swamps interspersed with palms and seasonally flooded grasslands, sandy, rocky and forest shores, and three rocky islets about 3 km offshore in the Sango Bay. The area lies in the transition between the East and West African vegetation zones and this biogeographical ecotone makes it biodiversity rich. The system supports huge congregations of waterbirds, hosting an average of 16.5% of the population of Grey-headed Gulls (Larus cirrocephalus), and hosts globally endangered mammals such as Elephant, Black and White Colobus Monkey and a subspecies of the Blue Monkey. It is a source of fish to the people of the area, of medicinal plants, of grazing and of raw materials for building and making crafts including luxurious sofa chairs and mattresses. Tourism has been developed on Musambwa Island. Relatively inaccessible, Sango Bay forests have had no immediate threats; however, as overexploitation of resources and grazing depletes the rest of the landscape, forest reserves become the immediate retreat for the surrounding communities. The site contains Stone Age artifacts, internationally known as the Sangoan industry, which dates to about 200,000 years ago. Ramsar site no. 1641. Most recent RIS information: 2006.

Two weeks ago the East Harlem building explosion literally rocked this neighborhood. A number of businesses still haven't even reopened. Dozens more have a long way to go before they get back on their feet.
Inside the Touba African Market on East 116th Street, many of the shelves are completely bare. The business is just around the corner from the site of the March 12 gas leak explosion that leveled two apartment buildings and killed eight. The African Market is one of 59 businesses impacted by the blast. Windows were blown out, part of the ceiling collapsed, and merchandise was destroyed, owner Fallou Samb said.
On top of damage, many of the merchants lost days or even weeks of business when they were forced to close for the investigation and subsequent repairs.
Ganesh Lamsel owns the 99-cent store on East 116th Street. He was among those to show up at a small business recovery meeting at the NYPD's 25th Precinct.
Our cameras weren't allowed inside, but outside merchants, including accountant George Lizzano, told us they are worried about their businesses surviving. Lizzano said they need financial grants to reopen the businesses and to start all over again because they lost a lot of money.
The city's Department of Small Business Services promised help but didn't say how much would be available or when it will come.
"Through NYC Business Solutions there are certainly a number of opportunities to access some financing and loan programs, the SBA is also looking at opportunities," Deputy Commissioner Robinson Hernandez said.

Really like the hang-on stand it's easy to transport and set up had mine a year now and bought my wife one. Only thing I would suggest is heavy duty straps. Just for my peace of mind.
Good treestand, COMES WITH SAFETY HARNESS, I didnt know and bougth one know I have two.
Great stand, took 5 minutes to finalize and added some ran stripe to he surface to hellebore camouflage.
You can't build or buy a better hang-on for the money. A heavy paint and add chain to lock to tree(and also to re-enforce the cable). You are good to go all year!
Guide Gear makes excellent products.

Spina bifida
Developmental abnormality characterized by a defect in the bones and other tissue surrounding the spinal cord. As a consequence, the nerves of the spinal cord are exposed and often damaged. Children with this condition may have trouble controlling their bladders and coordinating movements of their legs. The degree of damage depends on where the abnormality appears on the spinal cord. The higher up the spinal cord it is, the more likely the child will have serious problems with his or her leg muscles or bowel and bladder function.
If women take adequate amounts of folic acid they can reduce the chances that their babies will be born with this defect. For most women who do not take medication for seizures and have never had a previous baby with spina bifida or other neural tube defects, an adequate amount of folic acid seems to be 400 micrograms per day. Prenatal vitamins should meet this requirement. A woman should begin taking folic acid before she plans to conceive, as an important time for folic acid supplementation is the first weeks of pregnancy, when a woman may not be aware that she is pregnant.

"All software vendors now or in the near future will need to have "born of the cloud" capabilities in addition to on-premise," observed Shashi "Sash" Purohit, Founder, President & CTO of Ambernet, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo conference chairs Larry Carvalho and Vanessa Alvarez. V"endors will need to develop multi-tenancy, improved security and other features to support true SaaS deployment. There are a lot of vendors that offer "hosted" deployments as the basis of their SaaS offer."
Cloud Computing Journal: How are cloud standards playing a role in expanding adoption among users? Are standards helping new business models for service providers?
Shashi "Sash" Purohit: The National Institute of Standard & Technology (NIST) was instrumental in setting the stage for the adoption of Cloud Services in both the public and private sectors. We believe standards help create a rallying point for vendors, service providers and end users to work from. They help create confidence and validate choices and decisions that separate market leaders from others. Most buyers like to know that they are working with thought leaders who have invested time, money, and effort to secure the right approach that is standards compliant. Standards help reduce "short-cuts" and create motivation for the industry to work from. As an example, just look at what the FedRamp Standards/Certification process has done for public markets. It has really started the ball rolling to ensure security, compliance, governance, and other important criteria that makes it possible for agencies to buy with confidence. We offer a Cloud Management & Brokerage product that is based on industry standards including NIST and ITIL, yet offers unique differentiating features.
Cloud Computing Journal: How are hybrid clouds evolving to allow the coexistence of private and public clouds? What are the challenges to meeting a true hybrid cloud scenario?
Purohit: Hybrid is the new normal. We expect those organizations with cloud footprints to want multiple choices and different levels of computing capability running a variety of different workloads. We believe the key to deploying a successful hybrid cloud scenario is implementing the right cloud management system - one that allows for complete governance and compliance; handles integration brokerage; orchestration; visibility; products and services catalog; chargeback/showbacks and other important features.
Cloud Computing Journal: Are on-premise software vendors successfully migrating their business model to a SaaS model? What are the challenges faced in this journey?
Purohit: All software vendors now or in the near future will need to have "born of the cloud" capabilities in addition to on-premise. Vendors will need to develop multi-tenancy, improved security and other features to support true SaaS deployment. There are a lot of vendors that offer "hosted" deployments as the basis of their SaaS offer. In the future these same vendors will need to support multi-tenancy and offer software that is infrastructure independent to meet the demands of the market.
Cloud Computing Journal: With several vendors lowering costs for infrastructure, is there a way for new cloud service providers entering this space to make money?
Purohit: We think the market will continue to grow quickly and can support new entrants even with price point pressure. But the challenge will be to create unique value-add abilities on top of bare metal, capacity and storage. As an example, if a new entrant wants to compete with some of the public cloud giants, it can't be on their own terms. The new entrants will need to find creative and unique ways to create a niche. For example, they may need to focus on a specific market segment with unique workload requirements, develop or procure more effective cloud management tools, and/or bundle their services with high value professional services.
Cloud Computing Journal: How do projects like Open Compute and the concept of web scale IT impact the way enterprises think about managing their infrastructure and IT environment?
Purohit: With any big market with high velocity adoption there are going to be great initiatives and programs that create even more momentum and justification to embrace change. Right now the industry is still working to optimize how to secure the economic potential and benefits of cloud services. We believe that when cloud infrastructure becomes even more open, available and commoditized that there will be a greater need for enterprises to adopt an infrastructure-independent and service-aware cloud management solution. More choice and more options will inevitably create a greater variety of cloud services. This is called service-aware cloud management.
Cloud Computing Journal: What are the challenges for end users to adopt a new model for application development using Platform as a Service? Are vendors doing enough to meet their needs?
Purohit: Some of the big anchor vendors are pushing really hard to secure market leadership in this area. We are seeing choices that are creating dependency on the selected vendors once an enterprise selects the app dev environment. Really not sure this is going to be the long-term approach given the fact that developers and architects will want to avoid lock-in and have more flexibility to make the best choices. We believe the long-term goal for all things cloud is as much portability as possible in the easiest possible manner.

From WENN.com
The artistic director of the famed Bolshoi Theatre was walking to his home in the city last month (Jan13) when an unidentified assailant threw the corrosive substance in his face.
He suffered third degree burns and has undergone five operations to save his sight. He will fly to Europe on Monday (04Feb13) to continue recovery.
Filin tells the BBC, ""I've had four operations already and... I had another small operation which wasn't planned. Based on what I feel, when the doctors give me the opportunity to sort of open my eyes and try to see something, I think that there's a chance that I will be able to see my children again. I really want to believe that.""
The 42 year old also reveals he knows the identity of his attacker, adding, ""Every person has an organ called a heart, and my heart knows who did it, and in my soul I have an answer to that question.""

Rebranding A National UniversityBy Brad VanAuken The Blake Project
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Why not change the world?™
As Vice President of the Rensselaer Alumni Association (RAA) board and chairman of its national Alumni Admissions Committee I was a key participant in the endeavor to rebrand Rensselaer. Today I want to share the case study of that effort.
Great Accomplishments, "No Man's Land" Marketing Position
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, founded in 1824, was the first degree-granting technological university in the English-speaking world. Rensselaer was established "for the purpose of instructing persons, who may choose to apply themselves, in the application of science to the common purposes of life." Since Rensselaer's founding, its alumni have impacted the world in many significant ways:
• Inventing television
• Creating the microprocessor
• Managing the Apollo project that put the first man on the moon
• Founding Texas Instruments and creating the first pocket calculator
• Creating e-mail (including using the @ symbol)
• Inventing baking powder
• Inventing the Reach toothbrush
• Building the Brooklyn Bridge
• Building the Panama Canal
• Inventing the Ferris Wheel
Yet, for all its accomplishments, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Rensselaer was not well positioned (to prospective students) compared to its world-renowned rival, MIT, or even to schools such as Cal Tech, UC Berkeley, and Carnegie-Mellon. Many state schools (Purdue, University of Illinois at Urbana, etc.) offered exceptionally strong technical programs at significantly lower costs than private universities such as Rensselaer.Read More
Brand Extension DiseaseBy Mark Ritson
Marketers are a fickle breed. Aside from the usual list of ailments that afflict the general population, we are also vulnerable to a number of conditions unique to us. The most pernicious of these is logos extendos rabidus or, to give it its more colloquial name - brand extension disease.
Typically contracted by young managers who don't receive adequate training at an early stage in their development, early indications of the condition include delusion and a loss of hearing, especially when customers are trying to tell you how stupid your idea is. More serious symptoms often remain dormant for many years until the manager achieves a prominent position in charge of a major brand. At this stage, the onset of the condition can be frighteningly quick and the results are often severe.
One recent, sad case is that of Jonathan Hewitt, group financial services director for Dixons. Until last month, Hewitt appeared to be an executive operating at the very peak of his powers. But earlier this month it became clear that he had contracted a very severe form of the condition, when Dixons announced an unlikely move from selling kettles to offering online quotes for home and motor insurance.Read More
BrandQuote – November 28By Derrick Daye
Anatomy Of A Brand AuditBy Brad VanAuken The Blake Project
A brand audit provides an analysis of an organization's brand and its brand management and marketing effectiveness. It assesses a brand's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It identifies brand growth opportunities including those achieved by brand repositioning and brand extension. The audit should result in recommendations to improve brand equity, brand positioning, and brand management and marketing effectiveness.
The following are typical components of a brand audit:
Strategy review
• Business plans
• Marketing plans
• Brand positioning statement
• Brand plans
• Creative (or agency) briefs
• Media plans
Marketing research review
• Brand positioning research
• Brand asset studies
• Brand equity measurement system (awareness, preference, usage, value, accessibility, relevance, differentiation, vitality, emotional connection, loyalty, associations, personality)
• Brand extension research
• Product/service concept testing
• Logo recall & recognition testing
Coca-ConfusionBy Jack Trout
This year Coca-Cola launched a rather strange campaign behind its Coca-Cola Zero product.
You may have seen it. It's based on the odd idea that executives at Coca-Cola that sell Coca-Cola Classic want to hire lawyers to sue their co-workers who sell Coke Zero. To them it's "a clear case of taste infringement." In simple terms, the Classic marketing guys want to sue the Zero guys for producing a Coke with no calories that tastes as good as a Coke with calories.
But then you might say, "What about Diet Coke?" Good question. The grand strategy is to have a three-cola strategy (Classic, Diet and Zero). This is not unlike PepsiCo, which is pursuing the same idea. They have basic Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max and, coming soon, Diet Pepsi Max.
What's going on here? In my estimation, nothing but confusion, and confusion is the enemy of effective marketing. This is the kind of stuff you often see when a category is flat or declining. All the marketing guys sit around, stare at complicated marketing research and try and figure out ways to turn things around.Read More

ōKiller Womenö doesnÆt waste time. Within minutes of its first episode, a woman commits murder. In this case, the victim is a San Antonio assistant district attorney on her wedding day. After the killer shoots the bride, runs out of the church and jumps into a getaway car, a few of the wedding guests chase her, pull out their handguns and start shooting. ItÆs an unexpected and almost funny ōdonÆt mess with Texasö kind of moment.
We quickly learn that the killer works in a gym owned by the groom and she called him nine times before the ceremony. SheÆs a woman scorned. Or is she? ThatÆs what Texas Ranger Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer) wants to know, much to the annoyance of San Antonio Police Lieutenant Guillermo Salazar (Vic Trevino), who doesnÆt hide his dislike for her. Since the crime, capture and confession of the suspect takes place within the first few minutes of this hourlong drama, IÆm not giving much away by telling you that Molly could be on to something.
What sheÆs on to isnÆt difficult to figure out which is the first problem with this new series from ABC. The cases on cop shows donÆt have to be complex to be entertaining (see ōHawaii Five-Oö) but they do need to keep you guessing for more than a few minutes. Most of the story surrounding the first of the showÆs ōeight killers in eight weeksö is familiar.
Without much of a mystery to the first killer-of-the-week scenario, the episode needs to rely on Molly and her relationships to keep it interesting. This is the showÆs second problem. Molly is likeable but is a character who doesnÆt have enough at stake. She is separated from her state senator husband who refuses to sign divorce papers and has a loving relationship with her brother and his family. She is having an affair with DEA Agent Dan Winston (Marc Blucas) and generally has the support of her boss, Company Commander Luis Zea (Alex Fernandez). All are relationships that offer little to get excited about.
What could be more intriguing but also fails to deliver is that she is the only female ranger in her unit and has to deal with law enforcement colleagues who are eager to see her fail. Her workplace interactions are not without tension, but they are without a satisfying conflict.
Tenacious and determined, Molly bends the rules in the bride killer case, but her choice is admirable when it should feel troubling. ItÆs also risky but not enough to convince you that she will cross the line. Later in the episode, she reveals a secret about herself to the killer which is meant to add a layer of vulnerability. ItÆs not unsuccessful but giving her a few more flaws that arenÆt sympathetic would make her toughness feel more genuine and a little dangerous. After all, this is a show called ōKiller Womenö and Molly is a woman with a gun.
Page 2 of 2 - ōKiller Womenö premieres Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.

PDE-News (11/30/10): Uruguay's Entrepreneurship Fast-tracking
Uruguay's Entrepreneurship Fast-tracking
On my recent trip to South America during Global Entrepreneurship Week, I cast a mournful eye over Uruguay where, were it not for problems with flight schedules I had hoped to visit. Uruguay, the South American nation nestled between Brazil and Argentina, is trying to take the fast track toward becoming a startup economy.
The government of Uruguay has long recognized the importance of entrepreneurs to its small economy. It began programs to promote entrepreneurship in the early 1990s and has matched those with technological literacy programs.
