The person that had knocked over Mr Oliver stumbled towards the carpeted floor of the dining hall. It was a figure of a small boy, and Dwane realised it was the same kid that had bumped into him earlier that day. The boy was now rubbing his head in a rough manner and cried, "Ouch, that's the third time today." As he did this, he remained seated on the floor and stared at all the guests in he dining hall that was looking at him intently. The boy blushed.
"What are you doing running around for Joshua?" an angry voice of Mr Oliver cackled from the doorway. Joshua gulped at this, making an apolegetic glance at the cartaker of the hotel. "You should've known better not to run or skip or skid inside this hotel," Mr Oliver's lecture continues as he picked up Joshua from his back collar, like a stray kittten. Joshua tried to break free, but to no avail. "It was good enough of me for letting you stay here boy."
Dwane did not approve of this action of Mr Oliver. He stood up and said politely, "Mr Oliver, I think he has learned his lesson. Maybe you shold let him go, he looks like he's being strangled." Sara also gave a warm look at Mr Oliver and nodded in agreement with what Dwane had said. Staring at his guests, Mr Oliver let go of Joshua. As soon as his foot was on the ground, he quickly made a dash away from the angry old man. Mr Oliver huffed. "Well, where are your manners Joshua? Introduce yourself to our guests," he urged the boy.
Joshua stood still in front of everyone in that hall before giving a bow. "My name is Joshua," he exclaimed in a cheery voice. "I used to live here in this island, and I really like it here. So, I help out once in a while here in the hotel. I am in your care everyone." As he faced forward again, he received a lot of warm smile from the guests and he blushed again.
When everything was in order, someone came into the dining hall with his hand holding his back. It was Ray! "There you are," Dwane exclaimed. "What happened to you?" Ray gave an irritated look. "A kid knocked me down at the stairs, and I think I hurt my back," he answered. The hall then was filled with laughter. Josha blushed even more.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's still early, but I think the story is going somewhere. May guidance come in its best form. Thank you for reading. Take care!

Most students may exhibit a few of these
distress signs at times, but they will probably go away quickly. In
considering the kinds of signs that merit special attention and suggest
referral to counseling, look for acute changes and/or numerous signs
that linger. If you are concerned about a student exhibiting
several of these signs, you might want to consider asking him or her to
stop by during office hours, at which time you may convey that you
recognize he or she does not seem him or herself. A useful way to
express your concern is to use objective examples - perhaps pointing out
changes in his or her academic work or class attendance. If you feel
comfortable doing so, suggest the student make an appointment at
Counseling Services or at the service of their choice. Remember that you
are always welcomed to consult with a counselor in Counseling Services
prior to meeting with a student.
This can be a challenging task but a worthwhile one, given the powerful effect that a faculty or staff member can have on his or her students. Straightforwardly acknowledging your students' distress is usually a helpful place to begin. You might want to observe that you have noted changes in them, that you are concerned about their welfare, and that you are willing to help them explore sources of help. When preparing to discuss your concerns, remember these considerations:
Sometimes the nature of a psychological condition can pose a more serious challenge to providing the assistance that a distressed student needs. Such a condition may include a psychological disorder where an individual's poor insight or understanding of the problem is part of the disorder, as is generally true with anorexia nervosa, certain paranoid disorders, and mania, for example. In such cases, it is not uncommon for several members of the University community (i.e.: Faculty, Staff, Dean of Students, Counseling Services, etc.) to work together to assist students with these kinds of disorders in getting the help they need. Please remember that the staff of Counseling Services is available to consult with you about referral issues. Simply give us a call.

Kwabena Sankofa, PhD -- Staff Counselor

Local Fianna Fail TD, Frank O Rourke, has welcomed the support by Kildare Co Co for Naas and surrounding areas to be designated as a Food Hub.
"As I have mentioned in the Dail on a number of occasions, Naas and the surrounding area is home to many Food related companies, which have strong brands. Examples include, Kerry Food, Dawn Farm Food, Queally Group, Tara Vale Foods, Green Isle, Brady Farm Food located in Timahoe, and Ballymooney Foods located in Clane." Stated Deputy O'Rourke who welcomed the support from Peter Carey, Chief Executive of Kildare Co Co, who called for Naas to be designated as a food hub at Kildare Chamber meeting.
"Since getting elected, I have campaigned for the area of North Kildare to be designated as a Food Hub.I have seen at first hand the investment that these companies, have made, and continue to make, in terms of product development, technology, human resources and infrastructure. The agri-food sector is Ireland's largest indigenous industry which employs over 175,000 people with a turnover of €11bn last year. We must support this Industry given the challenges presented by Brexit." stated Deputy O'Rourke,
"We have seen recently that further investment is bringing jobs to the area with the announcement that Dawn Farm Foods will create a further 150 jobs at their facility. I have contacted again the Chief Executive of Enterprise Ireland and put a further parliamentary question down to the Minister for Enterprise Jobs and Innovation, seeking to get food hub designation for Naas."
"Given the challenge presented by BREXIT, the reduction in the value of sterling, we need to support food companies like those based in Naas as they try and retain their markets in the more challenging UK market and develop new markets. The Irish Food product is a quality brand that has potential in many markets outside of the UK. Having Naas designated as a Food hub will assist in this strategy." concluded Deputy O'Rourke.

Palm oil industry and poverty reduction
If Greenpeace got the point, it is ignoring it. This week it released in Amsterdam a scurrilous report, Pulping the Planet, which purported to attack one of Indonesia's largest and the most successful resources companies, Sinar Mas.
The company is just a proxy target. Greenpeace is taking aim at the path Indonesia has taken to raise living standards and reduce poverty. The Greenpeace message is "do it our way, or not at all". If the cost is poverty, so be it.
In the same way Europe transformed forest land as it industrialized and developed, so too are Indonesia and other developing countries. At least Greenpeace is consistent in one respect. It would have also opposed the industrialization of the Ruhr in Germany and the north of England. Its ideal world is an undisturbed environment, even if life spans are short and living standards low.
Greenpeace's complaint is the very success Indonesia's major resources companies have had in building prosperity and jobs out of one of Indonesia's greatest natural resources — its rich soils and climate. It contends too much forest is being converted. Around 25 percent of the country of which around half is forested is reserved for forest. Is that not enough? It is far more than the average reserved in Europe.
Greenpeace claims stopping any further conversion will save endangered species. That will not: only deliberate conservation programs save species; and they are well supported by the very companies Greenpeace is seeking to demonize.
The Greenpeace strategy is to bring external pressure to bear on the Indonesian government to go further than it has committed in its agreement with the Norwegian government to adopt a broad program of sustainable forestry.
That agreement contains a commitment to a temporary moratorium on further conversion of forest and peat land for expansion of palm oil and plantation forestry. The Greenpeace demand in the report attacking Sinar Mas is clear — make the moratorium permanent. The commitment must be temporary for two reasons. First, the facts of the situation are not clear. A lot of land has been cleared but not taken up with new plantations. Why not? One reason is confusion over land titles and permits issued by different government authorities which overlap.
As well, Indonesia does not have a proper inventory of what generates greenhouse gas emissions. Strategies to meet the government commitment to reduce emissions cannot be developed until proper data is acquired.
The second reason is that the policy framework in Indonesia governing land use and plantations needs fine tuning, not overturning. It enables continuing development, sets aside land for natural forest and supports conservation.
As the forestry minister has observed, Indonesia cannot afford a permanent moratorium. "Where will the jobs come from?" he asked. The President wants annual economic growth climb to 7 percent. That won't happen if growth in the agro-forestry industries is halted.

USPS BlueEarth® Secure Destruction Mail Service Program
The USPS BlueEarth® Secure Destruction Mail Service Program is an innovative new sustainability solution aimed at reducing the impacts of mail. It is designed specifically for intelligent mail barcode (IMb) business mailers. Using IMb technology, the program identifies, intercepts and securely shreds letter-size pieces of Undeliverable- As-Addressed (UAA) First-Class Mail® with personal protected information that would otherwise be returned to the sender (RTS). Secure Destruction is an opt-in service that operates under the protection and supervision of the United States Postal Service at no additional cost to mailers.
Mailing Industry Benefits
- This program also helps reduce landfill waste and avoids associated carbon emissions through recycling securely-destroyed items. The USPS estimates that for every 25,000 pieces of carrier delivered Return To Sender (RTS) mail that is destroyed, an estimated 1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent of carbon emissions is avoided.
- The process takes place within secure USPS® facilities by Postal employees, reducing risks of information exposure.
- All securely destroyed mail will be recycled, thus reducing the demand on natural resources.
Benefits for Registered Mailers
- Reduction of in-house costs for handling and destroying Return to Sender (RTS) mail.

On goodreads.com, a man joined my group in hopes of adding his African American paranormal novel to our list there. Of course it had to happen! After we got to talking, he was so gracious enough to gift me the Kindle version of his novel, Imagining Things.
SPOILERS!!! (highlight to read)
Let's get down to it. In the very beginning we meet Whisper Wells, her brother Christian, a friend named Oliver (Katherine) Sede and her brother Marcus. But just as we get down to something, we flashback an entire generation to meet Sephra, Whisper and Christian's mother, and we are taken on a journey through her life leading up to her death. Right after that, we're transported to visit the lives of Oliver and Marcus (more Marcus than Oliver).
Sephra is a black artist who goes to school and meets Duvall, a white boy with money who basically ends up helping her become the successful woman she grew to be. Despite his love for her, her married a white woman while Sephra jumped at the chance to marry a man named Chas-Drew, who was splitting from his girlfriend ... That was the first red flag for me (as far as Sephra's life goes). Years down the line, we see her two children who are named Whisper and Christian. They are 4 years apart but born on the same day so they share birthdays.
Chas-Drew decides he wants to divorce Sephra and get back with the woman he'd separated from when he met Sephra. But as soon as he announces this divorce, Sephra is diagnosed with a life threatening disease. When the children find out all of this, Christian shuts himself off from his father which was justified in my opinion.
Just a time jump away, we now get to find out about Marcus and Oliver. Apparently they are a family with money whos father owns a company. Aside from Oliver seeming quite normal, Marcus loathes his father and there is no clear reason why. Continuing on, we find that Marcus is gay and very good looking. Unfortunately, his good looks got him attacked and raped, which led him to being a high class prostitute at the age of 14? 15? 16? I'm not clear on the age he began because the time would change in a blink without warning. He continues with the prostitution until he's saved enough money to move out of his fathers house.
There's so much that happens after that, before that and during that that I can't possible tell you everything so I'll cut to my comments ...
1) The time transitions are super confusing. Theirs actually nothing that tells us how much time has gone by until we're deep into another part of the story and then you go 'what the hell? months?' or 'what in the world? how many years did I just read through?' We're sitting with Whisper, then we're learning about Sephra, then we're dealing with Marcus as a young boy, then we're back to present day. It made it super hard to keep up with, plus everyone has an odd name so I kept getting people mixed up. 2) I'm not really sure what anyone looked like. Someone has light eyes, someone is white, someone is a rich brown ... I'm just not sure. Their are no full descriptions of anyone given and that's another reason why I got everyone mixed up because I didn't know what they 'looked like.' 3) The paranormal aspect came in the form of a very vague sense of telepathy. What they do is basically answer a question before it's asked or say 'you were wondering ...' or 'you were about to ask ...' and they go on and complete it. Whisper and Marcus can pull chunks of history from peoples minds, mainly just big events. But aside from that, you would never know this was a paranormal book at all. 4) Marcus is gay while Christian is bisexual. The majority of the relations in this book are MM. 5) Did I read that correctly? Is Cinderella (Rella) in here? 6) The MF relationships seemed very forced. It always seemed like the female was always jumping the gun to get the man and then things would go downhill. 7) SPOILER, highlight to read it. I never liked Marcus and am happy he was killed off. 8) Whisper annoyed me. I want more Thunder. I want a book with some more Thunder!
Overall, it wasn't paranormal enough for me and there was just too much put into one book and it was rushed through. Would I recommend this? Absolutely, and I plan to because I feel like lots of people would really enjoy this. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, but I was looking for more of the paranormal and less of the drama (unless it was related to the paranormal). Still, the stories in themselves were decent but needed more room to play.

- Novedex XT By Gaspari Nutrition, 60 Tabs
Novedex XT By Gaspari Nutrition - 60 Tabs - Muscle Builder
At Gaspari Nutrition, we pride ourselves on researching the best in advanced sports nutrition. It's with this same pride that we re-introduce the "Holy Grail of Test Boosters — Novedex XT — a breakthrough in building strength and endurance while also helping you get shredded. Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT is a patent- pending formula that is significantly better than any of the competition in modulating estrogen levels and increasing natural testosterone levels.
What Is Novedex XT?
Novedex XT is the single most potent non-androgenic PCT (post cycle therapy)/Testosterone booster available today. It was created to be more potent, based on binding times and binding ability (how fast and tight it "sticks" to the target molecule), than other PCT and Estrogen blockers. Novedex XT protects the smarter athlete against the effects of estrogen and the prevention of estrogen activity. With its unprecedented ingredient profile, this product could be the most effective natural way to trigger a potent and sustained physiological response to gain lean mass, strength, and endurance while helping to achieve a dry and ripped physique.
Novedex XT Can help minimize the production of estrogens in the body through its dual systems. This positively effects HPTA, which can allow your body to greatly increase testosterone production on its own. Gaspari Nutrition's Novedex XT is designed to naturally cause a positive anabolic effect to gain muscle mass, strength, and endurance while helping to get lean. Additionally, if you are using or have recently used a prohormone, Novedex XT's HPTA up-regulating effects can help your body restore and normalize natural testosterone production in your body. Novedex XT is the perfect legal choice for post-cycle therapy.
Novedex XT has a patent-pending formula that makes it the premiere sports nutrition product on the market. The formula in Novedex XT is far superior to its previous competitors, including Formestane, ATD and 6-OXO. Clinical research studies have shown that the active ingredient, 3,6,17-androstenetrione, that was found in a popular anti-estrogen, probably converts to the estrogens 6-keto-estrone and 6-keto-estradiol. Gaspari Nutrition ensures that Novedex XT does not! Novedex XT increases bioavailable testosterone significantly higher and faster than any other testosterone booster in the supplement industry. Novedex XT also only requires a fraction of the dosage used by the leading brand. This product is so effective at combating estrogen that Estradiol (the form of estrogen most commonly associated with negative side effects) is slashed in subjects tested in just the first week.
Novedex XT is easily the most effective natural vehicle to trigger a potent anabolic response in order to help gain lean mass, strength, and endurance while also helping you get lean. Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT underwent full clinical chemistry panels as part of the pilot study in order to bring you the most effective product possible. The result: Novedex XT provides amazing benefits and dramatically elevates testosterone and suppresses estrogen. But we're not stopping there. We are so convinced that Novedex XT is the best product of its kind anywhere, we are performing a truly groundbreaking, long-term, research study to show the true potential and safety of this incredible product. These results will back up what we found in our pilot study and what beta testers have been reporting about this phenomenal product. The testing of Novedex XT includes a nearly three month double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at one of the nation's foremost research facilities specializing in sports nutrition. Look for the results of this ground-breaking research to be released in the coming months.
Can Women Use Novedex XT?
Novedex XT should not be taken by women. In particular, those women who are pregnant, lactating or trying to become pregnant.
What's In Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT?
How Do I Take Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT?
As a dietary supplement, take one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the afternoon. Do not exceed 4 tablets of Novedex XT per day.
Consult with a licensed physician before using this product. Do not take Novedex XT if you have prostate hypertrophy, liver disease, kidney or heart disease.

Thanks for popping by
Hi, I'm Alison and I want to give you the chance to shine in the ever-competitive job market. That could be by polishing your CV and covering letter, perfecting your interview technique or, if you're really stuck on what you actually want from a job, coaching you to identify where your strengths lie and how you can use your skills in the workplace.
I have a corporate HR and training background and, during my time handling recruitment and selection for a multi-national finance company, found that I was seeing the same (generally poor) CVs again and again. It was disheartening for the candidates because they weren't getting that opportunity of that crucial first (or second) step on the career ladder, and it was also frustrating for me because I knew that, with a bit of help, they could be on their way to a brighter future.
So, using my skills, knowledge and experience I can give you the edge over your competition.
I'm currently working on an online job search course which you can read about here. If you want to be one of the first to know when it's ready to launch, you can register your interest here (and get a free e-book '5 Steps to Job Search Success' as a thank you!).
A bit about me
I have recently moved from the beautiful Isle of Man and relocated my business to Gibraltar, and my home life to the sunny Costa del Sol.
Luckily, one of the perks of my job is that I can work with clients anywhere in the world!
When I'm not working I love to travel and, having just moved to Spain, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of this beautiful country (and, of course, enjoying some delicious food!).
I'm a lover of all things 80s, have a passion for watching cookery programmes (Masterchef Australia I'm talking about you!) and have a love/hate relationship with running.
The formal stuff!
I have a degree in Applied Social Studies from the University of Central Lancashire, a Certificate in Teaching Basic Skills from University College Isle of Man, and spent over 15 years teaching literacy and numeracy to adult learners.
I studied with Cullen Scholefield to obtain my Certificate in Human Resource Practice and am an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
Why not follow me on Facebook and Instagram? Or connect with me on LinkedIn?
How can I help you?
Are you stuck in a career rut constantly waiting for Friday at 5pm?
Does Monday morning come round far too quickly and have you repeatedly hitting the snooze button?
Are you about to leave school or graduate from university but have no idea what career path you want to go down?
If you answered yes to any of these then a call to me could be just what you need.
As a freelance career coach I work with a wide range of clients from school leavers/graduates through to the recently retired - and everyone in between. So whether you're just starting out, you want a career change but you're lacking direction or you've been recently made redundant I can help.
I can work with you to discover what skills you have to offer employers and the types of role best suited to those skills. Together we can set goals and set you off on the path to a happier fulfilling career.
Perhaps you're one of the lucky ones who knows exactly what you want to do but you just need help getting your CV up to date. Or you have an interview lined up but would like some practice beforehand.
If any of these sound like you click here to see how I can help.
As an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development I am also able to offer a full range of HR services from 'hire to retire', primarily to small businesses which don't have the need (or resources) for an in-house HR Department.
I am able to draw on my extensive experience gained in a corporate environment so you can be sure that your HR needs are being correctly managed at a fraction of the cost of employing a member of staff. So, if you're a business owner needing help with your HR then take a look here.
Either way, you've definitely come to the right place but, if you want any more information, you can get in touch through my contact page.

Some big names are expected to return as we look forward to an intriguing selection of Round 8 fixtures.
Here's all the selection rumours from around the league.
Tune into The Match Committee with Terry Wallace and Sam McClure from 6pm for the latest team news.
Listen LIVE on 1116 SEN, https://www.sen.com.au/listen-live/ or on the SEN app. Watch at AFL.com.au or on the AFL app.
Murphy, Curnow, Weitering and Marchbank could bolster Blues
While Carlton will lose Levi Casboult for a month, they could get three massive names back for their clash with Essendon this week in Marc Murphy (foot), Charlie Curnow (ankle) and Caleb Marchbank (ankle).
Of the three, Marchbank is the least likely to get up, while it appears Murphy will be named.
Jacob Weitering dominated in the VFL on the weekend in his return from a quad injury and seems likely to return.
Four GWS players a chance if they get through main session
GWS seems likely to regain ruckman Rory Lobb after missing with a knee injury which will give them a much needed boost in there.
Josh Kelly (groin), Rory Lobb (knee), Jeremy Cameron (toe) and Brett Deledio (hamstring) have all missed in recent weeks.
Deledio is least likely to get up, while Lobb and Cameron are likely.
Walker and Sloane in the mix
Adelaide could regain the services of their captain and vice-captain for this weekend as well as potentially Riley Knight and Kyle Hartigan (hamstring).
Skipper Taylor Walker (hamstring) and star midfielder Rory Sloane (foot) have missed periods of time and seem likely to play this weekend.
Toby Nankervis to miss?
Sources have suggested that the Tigers may rest ruckman Toby Nankervis. If that is the case, Ivan Soldo will step into the side to take on Kangaroos big man Todd Goldstein.
Could Richmond be preparing 'The Nank' for their big clash with West Coast and Nic Naitanui?
Dion Prestia remains doubtful for the clash against North after pulling up sore in the calf region, while skipper Trent Cotchin looks likely to return after missing the Fremantle game with a knee complaint.
Gary Ablett is back, but Harry Taylor?
Geelong may get both Gary Ablett (hamstring) and Harry Taylor (foot) back from injury this weekend.
Ablett was close last weekend, but is all but certain to return this weekend.
Taylor will also play, but whether he returns via the VFL or the seniors is yet unclear.
Steven May expected to return
Gold Coast captain Steven May missed last week's clash with the Western Bulldogs after an infection in his broken finger.
He didn't make the trip to Ballarat, but should be back this weekend for the Suns' first home game in Queensland this year against Melbourne.
Pendlebury still in doubt
Collingwood received a huge boost with Scott Pendlebury's ankle injury not as serious as first though.
Sunday's clash against Geelong might come too soon for the Pies' skipper as he continues to make a full recovery.
Daniel Wells is a chance for a recall after some good form in the VFL while Ben Reid, Brayden Maynard and Tom Langdon will all miss a further week.
Gun forward Jamie Elliot will make his long awaited return to footy this weekend via the VFL.
Orazio Fantasia and Jack Viney strong chances after VFL form
Essendon livewire Orazio Fantasia played a half a football in the VFL last weekend and the Bombers are confident he can return for their match against Carlton if he can get through training this week.
Melbourne co-captain Jack Viney will return to football this week through the VFL and isn't far away from returning to the senior side after suffering a foot injury.
Sam Powell-Pepper and Tom Rockliff available for selection
Port Adelaide midfield duo Sam Powell-Pepper and Tom Rockliff are both available for Saturday's Showdown against rivals Adelaide.
Chad Wingard is an outside chance to feature with the club continuing to monitor the hamstring injury he sustained against West Coast.

Also known as a hypertext markup language (HTML) previewer or HTML editor, an HTML viewer is a web design tool. It usually allows a web designer to view his or her work in real-time by splitting the screen with code on one side and the webpage-in-progress on the other. This tool is often designed to reduce or eliminate broken or inefficient code; insert pre-written, frequently-used bits of code; and highlight certain lines of code to better keep track of it. In addition, depending on the software program, an HTML viewer might include much more than the basics, such as pre-made templates, free graphics, and file transfer protocol (FTP) to quickly upload and publish the finished product. This type of program is usually either free or purchased for a one-time fee.
A popular HTML viewer feature is the ability to split the screen between the webpage code and a preview of how the code will look once uploaded to a server. With this feature, broken links, misplaced images and other mistakes can be corrected before the website goes live. This feature is often included in even the most basic HTML editors, and is used by both novice and expert web designers alike.
An HTML viewer also helps the web designer to pinpoint mistakes, either by using the split-screen preview or outright telling the designer that the code is broken, outdated, or could be better written in some other way. To further reduce mistakes and speed up the process of creating a website, the software program might come with numerous bits of pre-written HTML, so that the designer does not have to repeatedly rewrite or copy and paste certain lines. It is also common to include a highlighting feature that can be applied to any line, enabling the web designer to quickly dissect his or her own code.
Some extra features of an HTML viewer might be pre-made website templates and free, no-royalty images. These extras make it simple for novice web designers to build a website without manipulating much or any HTML code. Even professionals might use these extras to build the basics or act as placeholders for a client's own images. Once the website is complete, the designer can sometimes upload the finished project using the HTML viewer's own FTP program. If an FTP program is not built-in, the designer usually must turn to a third-party FTP program to make his or her website live.
Post 2
@Logicfest -- a lot of people do wander into that HTML view and a good number of people learn the basics of working with HTML by tweaking things when necessary. That is a great, hands on way to learn basic HTML.
And, if there's something you don't know how to do, there are plenty of forums where HTML pros will post tips and tricks.
Post 1
Good idea mentioning these things were once used by HTML pros and are now increasingly used by novices. Take an Internet based HTML email editor, for example. Those generally pull up a dual screen -- one shows how your email will look when sent while the other is the place you compose it. The composition side usually looks like something you would see while working with a word processor, but it can be changed over to an HTML view if you need to tweak the code a bit to get things to look just right.
The same go for online-based blogging systems and a whole host of software set up to help just about anyone build something online that looks professional.
Believe it or not, a lot of people venture into the HTML view and do make adjustments.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

OPEC Grants Tajikistan $2.8 mln for General Hospital in Dangara
Wednesday 19 December 2012
VIENNA (OPEC press service) – Supplementary Loan Agreement on Dangara General Hospital Project was signed in Vienna between the Government of Tajikistan and the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID).

On December 14, 2012, OFID signed a US$2.8 million loan agreement with Tajikistan to co-finance the Dangara General Hospital Project (supplementary loan). The agreement was signed by OFID Director-General Mr. Suleiman J. Al-Herbish and Sattorov Imomudin (ستاروف امام الدین), Ambassador of the Republic of Tajikistan to Germany. The loan will help fund the completion of a new, fully equipped, 115-bed hospital, with the aim to provide adequate health services to the 2.3 million-strong population of Khatlon and its neighbouring regions. OFID also co-financed the initial phase of the project with a US $8.5 mln loan.
OFID and Tajikistan have been partners in development since 1997, when a public sector loan was approved to help finance rehabilitation of two cardiovascular centres in the capital Dushanbe. Subsequent loans helped modernize and rehabilitate roads and enhance the production capacity of a textbook printing facility, as well as strengthen the country's energy sector. Grants have also been extended that helped improve education facilities and provide vocational training in remote, disadvantaged communities and rehabilitate a water supply and sanitation system. Tajikistan has also benefited from regional grants that supported HIV AIDS programs and agriculture schemes.
Established by the member states of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1976, the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), with headquarters in Vienna, is a multilateral development finance institution. Its objective is to reinforce financial cooperation between OPEC member nations and other developing countries, by providing financial support to the latter for their socioeconomic development. The resources of OFID are also used to provide grants for food aid, technical assistance, research and similar intellectual activities. OFID's resources consist of voluntary contributions made by OPEC member nations and the accumulated reserves derived from the institution's various operations.

Olive oil, which is cold-pressed from the fruit of the olive tree, is one of nature's powerhouses when it comes to monounsaturated, or healthy, fats. With regular use, consumption of olive oil is thought to extend life, and olive oil production has become a £13 billion world industry, according to the Olives Australia website. The lifespan of an olive tree can reach 2,000 years, if the tree is healthy, so diagnosing and correcting problems can ensure that your olive tree or trees outlive you to produce for future generations.
About Olive Trees
The olive tree is one of the hardiest trees around, making it ideal for any gardener. They are not picky about their soil, or weather conditions such as heat and cold, drought or wind. They make excellent windbreaks when planted in groves, and since they do not shed leaves or bark they are a tidy addition to your landscaping projects that require little maintenance. If you are growing olive trees for their commercially viable fruit, know that a properly pruned and fertilised tree can produce large crops for up to 100 years.
Yellow Leaves
One sign that you may have a problem on your hands is when you find that the silvery grey-green foliage of your tree is yellowing. Yellow leaves on olive trees are problematic because they can be a sign that the tree is deficient in nitrogen, or may have contracted a fungal infection. Olive trees are evergreens to temperatures of -12.2 degrees Celsius when plants are mature, so any change in foliage colour should have you investigating the matter.
Nitrogen is a macronutrient easily leached from the soil by water. Plants with nitrogen deficiency show a yellowing of the leaves from bottom to top. Top dressing your olive tree with manure or a commercially available high-nitrogen fertiliser once a year in the spring can eliminate the yellowing of your olive leaves. Also, be sure to incorporate manure into the soil upon planting new trees.
Two diseases in olive trees that cause yellow, ugly leaves are fairly common and can be detrimental to your tree if left untreated. Olive leaf spot, more commonly called peacock spot, is a fungus that attacks olive trees worldwide. Identifiable by black or grey spots surrounded by yellow halos, peacock spot infections are sporadic, and may take several years to become noticeable. Some of the yellow leaves fall from the trees, but those that do not harbour the fungus so that it continues to spread, ultimately causing defoliation and death of the tree. Treat the tree with copper fungicides twice yearly in any trees showing symptoms of this disease to keep it in check. Also, check trees for cercospora leaf spot, which is a fungus that appears on the underside of the leaves, causing the leaves to yellow and die. Some leaves that appear unaffected may also drop from the tree. Treat as you would for peacock spot.

EC proposes new fishing agreement to exclude Saharan waters

EC proposes new fishing agreement with Morocco to exclude Saharan waters
Friday, December 17, 2010, 23:50
Read story on FIS.com
The European Fisheries Commissioner, Maria Damanaki, is evaluating the possibility of negotiating a new fishing agreement with Morocco which excludes the waters of Western Sahara. If approved, more than a hundred EU vessels would have to withdraw from the Moroccan fisheries.
The current agreement lasts until late February and Rabat have not submitted the information required by Brussels for its renewal. Therefore, the fisheries commissioner began consultations with other members of the European Commission (EC) to agree on a new fisheries pact.
The EU pays Morocco EUR 36.1 million per year for EU vessels to fish in its waters.
This fisheries agreement is of great political importance to the community, as it includes 119 licenses for European vessels, of which 100 are granted to Spain.
But for months, problems with the Sahara has threatened it's renewal.
After a legal report by the European Parliament ruled that the agreement was not respecting international laws, as the Saharawi population was not receiving financial contributions from the EU, so they asked the Moroccan government to present evidence showing that the agreement benefits also those that live in towns.
In the draft submitted by the Fisheries Commissioner, they referred to the need to solve the problem created by lack of time for the extension of the agreement, as little more than two months remain before the expiry of the current pact.
As an option, the text also suggests the possibility of a temporary solution, establishing formal talks with Morocco, but to get a protocol that includes only those waters north of "27° 40' N", the latitude that marks the border of the Western Sahara, reports Agrocope.
In addition, the EU authorities seek to include a "human rights clause", which takes into account scientific advice and that there is "dialogue" and control to ensure that fishing is "responsible" and environmentally friendly.
The EC commissioners that are surveying have until February to issue the project.
If they give their approval, the EU executive will approve a recommendation to the Council of EU ministers to formally negotiate a settlement with Rabat so that they would not enter the Saharan coast.
Failure to obtain the necessary support, Damanaki will once again ask Morocco for the required information.
By Silvina Corniola
Morocco occupies the major part of its neighbouring country, Western Sahara. Entering into business deals with Moroccan companies or authorities in the occupied territories gives an impression of political legitimacy to the occupation. It also gives job opportunities to Moroccan settlers and income to the Moroccan government.

Use of Veterans Health Administration Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment After Exiting Prison: The Health Care for Reentry Veterans Program
UMMS Affiliation
Department of Psychiatry
Publication Date
Document Type
Mental and Social Health | Psychiatry | Psychiatry and Psychology | Substance Abuse and Addiction
The Veterans Health Administration (VA) Health Care for Reentry Veterans (HCRV) program links veterans exiting prison with treatment. Among veterans served by HCRV, national VA clinical data were used to describe contact with VA health care, and mental health and substance use disorder diagnoses and treatment use. Of veterans seen for an HCRV outreach visit, 56 % had contact with VA health care. Prevalence of mental health disorders was 57 %; of whom 77 % entered mental health treatment within a month of diagnosis. Prevalence of substance use disorders was 49 %; of whom 37 % entered substance use disorder treatment within a month of diagnosis. For veterans exiting prison, increasing access to VA health care, especially for rural veterans, and for substance use disorder treatment, are important quality improvement targets.

It is with a sense for the importance of redundancy that I approach my sailboat's many systems. I have two VHF radios, three GPS units, two emergency beacons, and multiples of other equipment, including auto-pilots. My boat, a 1980 Valiant 40 that I purchased in May 2010, came with an Aries windvane and a Raymarine electronic auto-pilot. The windvane was bolted to the stern, but the Raymarine unit was still in its box--it had never been installed. As part of an extensive refit, the Raymarine unit was installed, and the Aries windvane was removed for hull work and then reinstalled. During the delivery trips (it took two) to get the boat to its current location in Savannah, Georgia, back in September and October 2011, the Raymarine auto-pilot proved itself to be invaluable, almost like having an extra crew member. The Aries windvane proved itself to be stuck. It is supposed to be hinged so that its trim rudder can be kicked up out of the water when not in use, but we could not get the locking mechanism to release. So we never even bothered to try out the system as a fallback for the Raymarine auto-pilot.
In the many months since those delivery trips, I have thought often about the Aries windvane and what to do about it. Instead of trying to fix it, I have decided to remove it. If it was working, it would be good to have as a redundant auto-pilot system, but I am willing to forego that option and steer manually when I need to. While I am out in Savannah this coming week, removing the Aries windvane will be near the top of my lengthy list of boat projects. I am thinking it may be easier to work on the hinge and get it to release with the mechanism resting on dry ground rather than hanging off the back of the boat. If I can get it to release, I will try to sell the whole Aries windvane system, including the original documentation, and put the proceeds toward a new Garmin chartplotter. If you know anyone who would be interested in a complete, working Aries windvane, please send me an email message. There's a link in my Blogger profile, which you can get to by clicking my photo under About Me.

Looking at this kid's work it's hard not to want to explode out of your seat and go make something amazing. The second I laid eyes on his work an alarming amount of ambition was dispatched into my veins until I could feel my pores quiver with anticipation of what this inspiration may lead to.
The real thing to see is his MSCED collection (which is what makes up most of this post). If your jaw doesn't hit the floor while looking at these, I submit that you are blind.
His identity work gives me mixed feelings. I don't much care for each piece on its own, but as a full blown identity the work is quite successfull.
Dig his work? show him some mad love!

Before I tell you about my idea, I just have to share this ecard! Can I get an amen?! I am dead beat!
I saw the CUTEST pin the other day on Pinterest. It was actually not a teacher related pin, but I felt like I could adapt it to the classroom.
So I went to Walmart and bought some stuff to get to work. Red, Blue and Clear spray paint, and Magnetic Letters were what I bought. (I had the poster board already)
I started out by spreading the letters out and priming them.
I did a couple of layers of primer, then I had to post a question on Facebook asking if vowels are red or blue. (Because I had a major brain fart )
Then (Since I was doing this outside at 10pm) our motion sensor light went out, I grabbed the closest thing I could, and threw it in front of the sensor. Weeellllllp…...
I threw it on the roof. Thanks Hubs for getting it down
After I was done spray painting and sealing it. I moved the letters, and TADA! I have the correct colored letters AND a poster board that I am going to laminate and we will have a puzzle that my kiddos can match letters to during the fall.

Skull fuck refers to vigorous oral sex. It comes about in an extreme state of excitement. Oral sex can be very intense – so intense that some people "go crazy." They literally want to fuck the giver's mouth. A skull fuck can happen to anyone, regardless of gender. The key to getting a skull fuck is to know how to give good head.
As the term implies, a skull fuck can be brutal, especially when a huge erect penis is involved. A person who is not used to deep-throating can find it extremely uncomfortable to take a vigorously humping penis in the mouth. So, if one is inclined to skull fuck, it is important to remain conscious of the sexual partner's comfort. A skull fuck can be extremely enjoyable as long as the fun goes both ways.

Please enjoy these Quotes about Useless and Friendship from my collection of Friendship quotes.
So long as we are loved by others,
I would almost say that we are indispensable;
and no man is useless while he has a friend.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

During his training, a baseball player strives
to make each swing better than the last.
The repetition of a faulty swing would be worse than useless.
It would ingrain bad habits.
The same is true of emotional responses.
If we allow ourselves to continue to have the same angry responses,
we just entrench our anger habit.
But if we strive - through consciousness, visualization, and coaching -
to moderate our anger response,
over time, we can train ourselves to respond
to events as we choose - without anger.
You can't magically be free from anger tomorrow,
but you can put yourself on your own training program
that will reduce the frequency and intensity
of your anger response day by day, year by year.

I get asked all sorts of questions about the guests that have stayed with us over the years. One popular one is "Aren't you afraid, since don't know the people that are walking through your door"? Heck no! I never thought about it that way before. If I did, I don't think I would be the right person for this job. Besides, our guests don't know us either, so its a two way street. Another question is, "tell us about all the crazy people and stories that have come through the B&B. I feel like I usually disappoint people with my answer. I really don't have any. Everyone is so nice! Seriously! The difference between a B&B guest and a hotel guest is that everyone is usually here for the same reason; to meet new people, socialize, gain a new experience, and love of older homes. Yes, we do get business travelers, but they choose us to relax from their long day, rather going back to a stale, predictable hotel. Mostly though we get honeymooners, anniversary couples, family reunions, friends traveling together and so on. They look forward to their stay and we do whatever we can to make their stay unforgettable. So what really makes the bed and breakfast guest different than the hotel guest. Their contagious happiness.
That being said, these ladies that stayed with us this past week, were the epitome of happiness and it rubbed off on me everyday that they were here. They travel together every year. Sometimes the 5 of them, sometimes up to 12 of them. Usually in the Midwest, but they have gone as far as Washington DC. All friends with each a unique personality. They wandered out smiling each morning in search of coffee. Some were up way before I was and some like to sleep in until right before breakfast at 8:00. Their stories of their adventures on past trips and history as friends were a joy to listen to at the breakfast table and in the afternoon when they would get back from their journey around town. I think they may have even added to their stories for their next trip. I hope they made some wonderful memories in Oshkosh and at the inn. I know I will think of them often and smile when I do.

Federal Transportation Bill a Disappointment for New Jersey
For immediate release
June 29, 2012
Steven Higashide (steventstcorg) , Tri-State Transportation Campaign, (212) 268-7474
Peter Kasabach (pkasabachnjfutureorg) , New Jersey Future, (609) 393-0008, ext. 104
Dan Fatton (dfattonnjfutureorg) , Trenton Cycling Revolution, (908) 303-4546
Bill maintains funding and avoids transit cuts, but rolls back safety and environmental protections
In response to the announcement of a conference committee deal to authorize the federal transportation program through September 2014, transportation advocates expressed disappointment at the bill's lack of reforms and at provisions that would make it harder for communities in New Jersey to provide input on major projects and improve street safety:
"While the bill allows the country to avoid a shutdown of transportation funding, it shuts down progress in many areas," said Veronica Vanterpool, Tri-State Transportation Campaign executive director. "It reduces funding for bike and pedestrian projects, rolls back environmental protections, and incentivizes new road building and driving. It's now up to local and state leaders to fight for a more accountable, environmentally sustainable transportation system."
The Senate had crafted a forward-looking, bipartisan bill, MAP-21. Unfortunately, many positive reforms that had been included in MAP-21 were dropped from the final deal, including provisions to restore the transit commuter benefit to $240/month (it fell to $125/month at the beginning of the year), give transit agencies flexibility over how they spend their federal funds, and focus road and bridge funding on repair and maintenance.
The legislation avoids cuts to public transportation. It would provide new sources of funding for repair of transit systems, and help municipalities build around their rail and bus stations.
However, the bill would make large portions of dedicated pedestrian and bicycle funding optional for states. Currently, less than 3% of federal transportation funding is dedicated for pedestrian and bicycle projects, and local communities rely on these small programs to improve safety and promote economic development.
"For municipalities, this legislation is a mixed bag. It cuts funding programs for Main Street improvements and pedestrian safety that are very popular and badly needed," said NJ Future Executive Director Pete Kasabach. "However, it does offer new funds for transit-oriented development, and New Jersey thankfully avoids a cut to transit."
"Despite a dramatic increase in bicycle and pedestrian commuters in Trenton and other New Jersey communities, the federal transportation bill heads in the wrong direction on bicycle and pedestrian funding," said Trenton Cycling Revolution Chairperson Dan Fatton. "We should be replicating Safe Routes to School programs at almost every school in the country, and increasing the amount of money dedicated to bicycle and pedestrian projects. Unfortunately, despite widespread grassroots support for such policies, Congress has offered a bad bill that takes us in the opposite direction."
The bill also appears to roll back environmental protections, making it harder for local communities to provide input on major projects that impact their air, water, health, property, and quality of life. It changes the federal TIFIA loan program by removing criteria that considered environmental sustainability, project significance, and other factors. As a result, the program could send more money to states that are building many new roads (like North Carolina and Indiana) and less to states in our region.
"Though the bill lacks significant reforms, it does avoid the most extreme cuts supported by some in the House," Tri-State Transportation Campaign Federal Advocate Steven Higashide said. "Thanks in large part to members of New Jersey's delegation, Congress successfully defeated proposals to cut all dedicated funding for public transportation, walking, and cycling projects. We thank them for their hard work."

Out of tune
Because you two don't match up in your emotions, values and interests, you both feel as if you have to either repress your true personality when you're together or withstand criticism of things about you that are inherent to who you are. You are just out of sync on a variety of levels, and if either of you tends to be critical, or if other aspects between you indicate that as a potential problem of this relationship, you will probably have some arguments over a variety of subjects. You are rarely in the mood for intimate play at the same time; you might not even be in the mood for the same kind of movie or restaurant or anything else!
That's true of a lot of couples, of course, because people are different from each other, and when you're looking for love, you aren't looking for your twin so much as someone who adores you, and all the unique qualities about you that make you who you are. In this relationship, that's just what you two might lack. Sexually, you could be quite out of tune, having some very different ideas of what's hot and what's not. You might get your feelings hurt when your advances are rebuffed or your sensual imagination is stifled. Misunderstandings are the name of the game unless you both put plenty of energy into working together. Communicating clearly and exercising your utmost patience in dealing with each other helps, but it takes effort.

Sherri Martel. Sensational Sherri. So Very Sensational Sherri...back when TV wrestling was really good, you didn't know whether
to hate her guts or not because you wished you could get away with the evil tricks she pulled on her enemies...a rare gem
in that she looks elegant even when she's putting her foot in someone's ass(which she WILL do, unlike a lot of the "wrestler/valets"
you see). For mean, sly, and sometimes quite violent antics of all sorts, we proudly give Sherri a place in the Heels of Fame.
Baron von Raschke was big, scowling, and bald. Not bald like Stone Cold, but more like a vulture or something. He grimaced
and goose-stepped over countless heroes, until the moment arrived for the "Iron Claw". We honor the Baron as a
Heel of Fame-"und DAT is ALL da people need to know"!
Scut Farkas...he was mean, rotten..he had YELLOW EYES, so help me, YELLOW EYES!! What's really tough to believe is that he's
now Dave on "Titus"! Scut was the bully we ALL knew growing up, and when he finally got his ass kicked, it was better
than anything on wrestling. We honor Scut for his performance as one of the rottenest kids in American history. A true Heel
of Fame.
The Great Kabuki had the best martial arts gimmick of all time. He came to the ring in a long silk kimono, a huge wooden Kabuki
mask, bristling with sai, nunchakus, or whatever, all whistling and whirling around him. Then after all this was gone, he
stood in a simple pair of kung fu pants and tabi shoes and blew a cloud of green mist into the air. Then he would demolish
his opponent with a variety of bizarre nerveholds and a brutal savate kick. Kabuki, managed by Gary Hart, feuded extensively
with Jimmy Valiant, Dusty Rhodes, and many other bleach-blond heroes. For dropping jaws(and then kicking them back into place)
everywhere he went, we honor The Great Kabuki as a Heel of Fame.
The Fabulous Freebirds were something to behold in their day. They combined rottenness and charisma with a ton of audacity
to become such good bad guys that the people loved them anyway, even if they were throwing medicated powder in JYD's eyes
or all three stomping the bejeezus out of Kevin Von Erich. For being so good at being so bad, we name The Fabulous Freebirds
as Heels of Fame.
Take a look at these guys...when I saw the Bushwhackers on WWF, I just shook my head. The kids cheering them on just didn't
know about the tag team that raised hell throughout the land in the 70's and 80's. The New Zealand Sheepherders were mean,
loony guys who scared the bejeezus out of little kids instead of making them laugh. For terrorizing, brutalizing, and generally
running roughshod, The New Zealand Sheepherders are among our Heels of Fame.
Nellie Oleson was the most mean, petty, vile, awful girl EVER!! OOOH! I'd like to jerk her up by those ringlets and unscrew
her HEAD!! OOOOH!!-wait...composure...okay. For being so unbelievably God-AWFUL that a nation watched eagerly just to see
her get knocked into the pond, we proudly induct Nellie Oleson into the Heels of Fame.
OOOOH! Frank N. Furter...now THERE'S a guy who isn't afraid to be his own man...or make his own man, for that matter. For
manmaking, music, mayhem and murder(and with such STYLE), Frankie truly deserves to be a Heel of Fame.
Squeaky Fromme scared the shit out of every parent in America. She looks like a young Thelma Lou (Andy Griffith). Who would
ever think that this girl would become Charles Manson's most devoted follower or lunge at the President with a gun? We honor
Squeaky as a Heel of Fame for her notoriety and for being one of America's most interesting crazies.
Unlike Squeaky(above), you knew this was one serious bad guy RIGHT AWAY. Darth Vader was an evil wizard, terrifying warrior,
and malevolent spectre all in one. An all-time great Heel of Fame.
