A black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. In happens when one or more stars instead of exploding, implode. They collapse into themselves and become so dense, and so heavy that their combined gravity pulls everything around it to itself. Even light gets pulled in that's why it becomes like a black hole. Black holes are mysterious; we can't really tell what's inside of them. Our super telescopes detect them to be billions of light years away. That's a very long distance when you consider a light year to be the distance that light can travel in a year's time. The study of black holes helps scientists to learn more about how early galaxies were created. It teaches them the behavior of gravity on the objects around it and how a black hole could be making a difference in the way new galaxies and stars are shaped. Black holes are seen only because they are surrounded by stars and planets that are far enough from it that do not get pulled in but stay around therefore when looked at from far with a telescope, we can detect galaxies of light with a surprise black spot (hole) in the middle of it. So, the next time you come close to a black hole, be very careful because if you get closer than you should, you will get pulled and will never be seen again :-)

Halley's Comet is definitely interesting because of when it's visible from Earth. Halley's orbit around the Sun takes typically 75-76 years. It's interesting because you never know when you will see it. You may have some idea, but never exactly what time. It was the first comet to be seen as periodic. This is because as it orbits around the Sun, the rays from the Sun boil off some of the comet's gasses, changing its speed. Halley's Comet looks like a comet, with a nucleus in the middle at the front as it shoots across the sky. It was last seen in 1986, and it will most likely be seen again in 2062. Because its movement is different than that of the Earth's, there is no consistant distance from the Earth to the comet. It was discovered by a man named Edmond Halley. He predicted in 1705 that you would be able to see the comet over London in 1682.
Halley's Comet is definitely one of the most interesting celestial bodies out there for its movement.

If I could explore anything in space I would probably explore the planet of Mercury. I would want to explore this planet because it's the closest planet to the sun and only one spacecraft has visited the planet. There is also some proof of water ice on the south and north poles inside deep craters. It is the second smallest planet in our solar system. Temperature on Mercury's surface can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit, but because there is no atmosphere, at nighttime temperatures can drop to -280 degrees Fahrenheit. Mercury's surface is like that of earth's moon. There are many impact craters resulting from collisions with meteoroids and comets. It takes 88 days for Mercury to rotate around the sun and 59 days to rotate on it axis. Its 57 million miles away from the earth and has a diameter of 3.032.4 miles. Fun Fact: if you weigh 100 pounds on earth then you would weigh 38 pounds on Mercury! Galileo was the first to see Mercury through his telescope in the 17th century.

Hey everyone! So today I would like to talk to you bloggers out there about…wait for it…..THE BOOMERANG NEBULA!! A nebula in general is a nursery for stars when they are first born. The Boomerang Nebula is located about 5,000 light-years from Earth, in the direction of a southern constellation Centaurus. Over the last 1,500 years, nearly one and a half times of the mass of our Sun has been lost by the central star of the Boomerang Nebula (greedy little star in the middle there…)! This ejection process is called bipolar outflow.
The Boomerang Nebula is one of the coldest places in the universe! Radio measurements made in 1995 show the deep interior of the nebula to have a temperature of only one degree Kelvin above absolute zero. This makes the inner regions of the Boomerang Nebula one of the coldest known places in the universe. Also, the Boomerang Nebula got its name from its shape, which is a boomerang of course!
But how was this celestial object found? A telescope known as the Hubble Telescope had "caught" the Boomerang Nebula, with images taken with the Advanced Camera. Here are some really cool pictures of this nebula!
(To read more about this nebula, and others as well, go to this link!)

Halley's comet was an interesting celestial object to me because it always pops into my mind whenever I think of any comet. Did you know that Halley's comet goes into our inner solar system about every 75-76 years? It is also made up of volatile ices like ammonia, water, carbon dioxide and dust. Although, most of it is really dust and only a small part of the comet is actually icy. The closest that Halley's Comet has ever been to us has been .42 astronomical units. Halley's Comet has been with us for more than 2,000 years and the way it has been discovered was actually a prediction made by Edmond Halley that the comet would come back in 1758. I used wikipedia.org and http://space.about.com/od/comets/a/halleyscomet.htm

"Times New Roman"">Once the nuclear fusion in a star ends, all of its elements end up as iron. The reason that it doesn't keep fusing elements is because iron doesn't fuse. Once all of it is iron, it releases a huge amount of energy in what is called a supernova. The energy is released when the star blows of its outer layers. The remains of the core will be one of two things - a neutron star or a black hole. The closest possible supernova is 150 light years away and if it blows up, its radiation will most likely wipe us (Earth) out because a "safe" distance for something like this is 160-200 light years away.

OGLE-TR-122b is the smallest main sequence star known. It has a radius of 167,000 kilometers which is only 20% larger than Jupiter. It is in the Carina constellation and has a seven day orbit period. It was discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment(OGLE) survey when they observed this star eclipse a larger star. It is about 3200 light years from the earth.

Pluto is a celestial body, a planet, which usually orbits beyond Neptune. Formerly classified as a planet, Pluto's much smaller size compared to the other planets has moved it into a "dwarf planet" category.
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by accident. An error in calculations predicted a planet beyond Neptune, based on the motions of itself and Uranus. Clyde W. Tombaugh surveyed the sky, and despite the error, discovered pluto.
Pluto is worth exploring because its great distance from Earth has inevitably caused little to be known about this dwarf plant orbiting beyond Neptune. Pluto is interesting because many of the known characteristics and facts about Pluto differ from those of most of the other planets in our solar system.
Pluto was named after the god of the underworld in Roman mythology, Hades in Greek mythology. Pluto is smaller than seven of the moons in the solar system(our Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan and Triton) A spacecraft called "New Horizons" was launched in January of 2006 and is expected to reach pluto in 2015, if all goes well. Pluto orbits in the opposite direction of most of the other planets. Charon, one of Pluto's moons, was not discovered until 1978. Depending on where pluto is from it's orbit, Pluto can range between 28 and 50 astronomical units from Earth. Another interesting fact about Pluto's orbit would be that sometimes Pluto is closer to the sun than Neptune, resulting in it's greatly varying distance from Earth.

Venus -This object is worth exploring because Venus is not a planet that we are relatively familiar with, and talk about everyday. There might be a new species of life there that no one could even imagine about. Next, I would like to explore its moons. -The farthest Venus ever gets from earth in its elliptical orbit is 261 million km. When Venus is closets to earth in its elliptical orbit, which is called opposition, the distance is 38 million km. -Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth (95% of Earth's diameter, 80% of Earth's mass) -Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest -224.7 days- period of revolution -243 days- period of rotation at equator -12,104 km- equatorial diameter -0.82- mass relative to earth (1) - Venus shows phases when viewed with a telescope from the perspective of Earth -Venus has no moons at all! The reason for that is because Venus is rotating backwards from the other planets. Venus rotates counter clockwise
-The first spacecraft to visit Venus was Mariner 2 in 1962
-Venus' atmosphere consists of mostly carbon dioxide -Venus has several layers of clouds many kilometers thick composed of sulfuric acid
-There are strong (350 kph) winds at the tops of the clouds -Venus is very dry, but may had large bodies of water like earth, the water boiled away -Venus is the brightest celestial object in the sky, after the sun and moon -No one actually discovered Venus itself, the bright object was just known to the human eye since prehistoric times. But, later on people came to know that Venus is a planet. First Copernicus made a model of the solar system, showing that Venus orbited the sun just like the earth. After that in 1610 Galileo Galilei saw Venus through his telescope, seeing that Venus is a planet that goes through phases. So from that observation, he concluded that Venus orbited the sun. That proved Copernicus' theory. I enjoyed exploring Venus the great bright planet. Here's a website that you can keep on exploring Venus! http://nineplanets.org/venus.htm

Gilese 581g is most definately a great planet to explore. Scientists have discovered that Gliese 581g may be the only other planet that is earth-like and can sustain life. Some cool facts about Gliese 581g is that the length of a year is about 37 Earth days. The gravity is about the same as it is on Earth. It is about 20 light years away from Earth, that is equivalent to about 118,000,000,000,000 miles. Another cool fact is that on Gliese 581g you would weigh 3 times as much as you do on Earth! The planet was discovered by a group of "planet hunters" from the University of California and they used an observatory in Hawaii to find it. It took 11 years of research and observations of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 to find Gliese 581g.

A celestial object that I wanted to learn about is the planet Saturn. It is interesting to me because it is one of the few planets that have rings and it is the secnd largest planet. It is worth exploring becasue it has many cool features. All of the planets in the solar system have exciting features, but saturn stood out to me the most. Saturn is an oblate and visibly flattened when viewed from a telescope. Its equotorial diameter is 120,536 kilometers and its polar diameter is 108,728 kilometers. It is less dense of all the other planets and its graviy is 0.7. It is made of 75% hydrogen and 25% heium with traces of water, methane ammonia and "rock", like jupiter. Its interior is a rocky core, liquid meallic hydrogen layer and a molecular hydrogen layer. The interiior is hot at the core at 12000 kelvin. It orbits 1,429,400,000 kilometers from the sun, 9.54 astronomical unit. The rings is the most interesting to me. Saturn has two prominent rings and one faint ring can be seen from earth. They are very bright and very thin, 250,000 kilometers or more in diameter. The paricles of the rings are water ice, rocky particles, with ice coating. Like all planets, saturn has a magnetic field. It is the sixth largest planet from the sun and has 47 satellites. Its maximum disteance from earth is 1,658,854,9880 kilometers and its minimum is 1,195,772,020 kilometers. Saturn was first observered in 1610 by Galileo, with a telescope. In 1659, Christian Huygens correctly inferred its geometery of rings. Saturn was first visited by NASA's Pioneer II in 1979 and later by Voyager 1 and 2. Cassini (a joint NASA project) arrived on saturn on July 1, 2004 and orbited for at least 4 years.

The Andomeda galaxy is a galaxy that is very interesting because it is going to crash into our galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy, in 2.5 billion years. When these two galaxies collide, the galaxies will form a huge elliptical galaxy. Andromeda is also known as Messier 31. Also Andromeda is a spiral galaxy just like the Milky Way. To see most galaxies you need a telescope, but Andromeda is visible to the human eye without any technology. Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away from the Sun. Andromeda was discovered by Persian astronomers thousands of years ago, bus it was classified by Charles Messier in 1764, therefore it was classified as Messier 31 after him.

Uranus is definitely worth exploring! There are so many interesting facts about Uranus, and not everyone knows them all so it is VITAL that we research.
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system. The planet has twenty-seven revolving satellites and eleven rings around it. Seventeen hours is the amount of time for one rotation of its axis. It is four times larger in diameter compared to Earth. Its radius is the third largest and its mass is the fourth largest among the eight planets in our solar system. Hydrogen, helium, and methane make up Uranus's atmosphere. -353 degrees Farenheit or -214 degrees Celcius is its uniform temperature. For one revolution aroud the sun, it takes 30,685 days, or 84 Earth years.
The mean distance from the Sun is 1,783.98 million miles or 2,870 kilometers, making it twice as far from the Sun as Saturn, its neighboring planet. The distance from the Earth is 1,607,000,000 miles at the closest point.
This planet was named after the ancient Roman god of the sky, Uranus (Greek name-Ouranos), who was the father of Saturn (Greek name-Kronos) and grandfather of Jupiter (Greek name-Zeus), Neptune (Greek name-Poseidon), and Pluto (Greek name-Hades).
Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus on March 13, 1781. Uranus is the first planet to be discovered with a telescope. Herschel was observing the constellation Gemini when he realized that it was large and pale blue. When he started to take notes of the object's movements, and then concluded that he had found a new planet to the solar system. King George III rewarded Herschel and therefore, the planet, before having its name changed to Uranus, was called George's Star.

If there is one thing that I could explore in space, it would be a Supermassive Black Hole. I chose this because these things are insane. They could rip apart a star (depending on the star size) in a matter of seconds!
Basically, they are the largest type of Black hole that is known. Almost every galaxy that is known to man is said to contain a supermassive black hole in its center. For the Milky Way, our supermassive black hole is said to have a force of gravity that is so strong that the planets or stars that orbit the black hole travel at the speed of light! I've never really heard of something like this in my life before.
This was disovered because we orbit around the sun which is the center of our solar system. Our solar system orbits the center of the galaxy which has to be something so strong and massive to have objects billions of miles away to orbit it.
To find the distance of the nearest supermassive black hole from Earth, we would have to calculate the distance of Earth from the center of the galaxy. We are about 25,000 light years away from the center which is probably trillions and even more miles.
The URL above is for a website from Discovery with more info about supermassive black holes.

The celstial object I chose was dark matter. I found this object to be extremely interesting because it is something that no one can see. I mean you know about planets, comets, and even other galaxies, but dark matter is a whole new idea to consider! There is a lot of different matter in the universe. However, it seems like there must be more matter moving around in outerspace. A type of matter that is perhaps invisible to the human eye. Many scientists believe that we only account for 10% of mass in the universe! The exsistence of dark matter has not been proven yet, but there is increasing evidence. Dark matter is said to be a part of the gravatational bind that holds the universe together and yes, even light. Now there is not an exact distance between dark matter and the earth, but there is a certain type of dark matter. It is called Massive Compact Halo Objects and it is made of ordinary matter. Since they are said to exist in planets, moons, and stars it may exist in our earth. This type of matter is only beliveved to make up some of the dark matter in the universe. Another type of matter called Weakly Interactive Massive Particles is still a theory, but if prove could account for most of dark matter in the universe.

Am I At Risk for Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin?
Certain factors can make you more likely to get cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. Because doctors do not know why, how, or where cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP), it is hard to identify risk factors for it.
Doctors do know, however, that smoking is a risk factor for many kinds of cancer. Certain foods have been linked to cancers of the stomach, colon, or rectum, which are all possible sources of CUP. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is another source of CUP. Finally, a certain family cancer history may also be considered a risk factor. If more than one close relative, such as a grandparent, parent, or sibling, has been diagnosed with colorectal, ovarian, or breast cancer, your risk for cancer may increase. Taking steps to lower your risk for cancer, such as quitting smoking, eating more fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, and using sunscreen, may also lower your risk for CUP.

FATF New Recomedations realeased
These are the prelude to the 4th European Directive adopted by the UK as our next version of our Money Laundering Regulations. Not too much to worry the day to day activities of a regular accountant. These changes are aimed mainly at strengthening weakness the UK has tackled to some extent by our gold plating of legislation, some of the noticeable are;
Tax crimes both direct and indirect have though been made reportable offenses globally, put the profession at the forefront of prevention.
PEP's has now finally been extended to cover domestic PEP's. This reflects the global push to tackle corruption and bribery.
Bearer shares recommended to be band or registered, more transparency for legal persons and arrangements focusing on nominees, also an interesting call for at least 1 real person to be resident in the country of registration and accountable to the competent authorities, not the current case under the CA2006 where they can be resident anywhere in the world and requiring that a company must authorise a non-financial business or professional (accountant, solicitor or TCSP) who will be accountable for providing information and details of beneficial owners, this will be a UK firm for a UK registered company.

Think you need ...
... a spell checker
Limits of spell checkers
If you mean "banned" instead of "band" for bearer shares, a spell checker would not detect that error.
Good point (band), but I
Good point (band), but I think he may have been referring to the title (with 2 out of 3 words bearing multi-spelling mistakes!)
Indeed ...
... I was.
It is very hard to take an article seriously when the title is so riddled wih error - it doesn't inspire confidence!
I also think it bad form to use abbreviations and accronyms without explanation.
I'll nbot bother in future 1 thanks
I'll not bother in future, it is not worth the hassle, I was typing it in without the use of a spell checker, in a rush and on the move, whilst on my way to an event, just though some of might have been interested
Yes, the spelling mistake was deliberate
Yes, the spelling mistake was deliberate
Thanks Steve - please don't give up
I at least found it useful to be alerted to the proposals, and understand just how easy it is to type things wrong when you're in a rush.
I hope other members of this group will understand that the content in a discussion group isn't made up of formal, sub-edited artices, but posts by their peers.
Sometimes errors will crop up, and you should bear in mind that overly negative responses can discourage people from participating in the group, which is not the objective we are seeking on AccountingWEB.

Comments On Apr 27, 2014:Bought these last August for a long race. The bearings wore out (tons of slop) shorty there after. The biggest issue with these bearings are how they are installed. The way the press in race fits in the hub it's nearly impossible to remove. We ended up having to use a Dremel tool and a carbide bit and cut the race out because there's no way to tap it out once installed. Don't buy these for a z400 and stick with ball bearings instead.

Comments On Aug 27, 2013:Installed on my quad with new spindle, too much play in the bearing. Followed instructions,(though not my first time doing this, but is first with this bearing), not buying again.

Comments On Jun 26, 2012:Very good heavy bearing and seals. The best part is it's a tapered bearing designed for latteral thrust. Which means it should take the punishment of hard cornering. Installation was a snap, perfect fit into origainal hub landings. Don't forget to pack it with grease, and service regularly. Yes it is servicable.

We have points difference as the first tie-break.
The smaller the division, the less difference in ability between top club and bottom.
Sorry Richie but I disagree. The top 4 clubs will always be a step ahead of the so called smaller clubs it won't bridge the gap if the league is smaller. The top 4 are the top 4 because they pay more on wages and get better quality players making the league smaller wont sort the gap Richie. But to be honest I don't know what will but that's the RFLs job to find a solution that's if they want to of course.

State troopers have identified a woman killed in a head on collision Thursday morning in Beaufort County.
The Highway Patrol say 60-year-old Sandra Woolard of Greenville died at the hospital after her Toyota Corolla collided with an empty hog truck on Possum Track Road in Beaufort County.
Trooper Chris White says the driver of the big rig, Thomas Hawley from Princeton, has been charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle by driving left of center.
He was taken to Vidant Beaufort Hospital for minor injuries. A passenger did not require transport.
Troopers say Hawley works for Maxwell Food Company.
Previous Story
State troopers say a driver of a hog truck crossed the center line and struck an oncoming car, killing a woman.
The wreck happened on Possum Track Road, south of Chocowinity shortly after 6:00 a.m.
The truck, owned by Goldsboro Hog Farms, ended up jumping the ditch before crashing into a barn that was alongside the road. That barn had to be torn down in order to get the truck free.
The victim, who was driving a Toyota car, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Troopers say the hog truck driver will be charged Misdemeanor Death By Motor Vehicle with Driving Left of Center.
The two people in the hog truck were not seriously injured and the Highway Patrol has not yet released the name of the woman killed.

Due Dates for Federal Programs
Federal Ed-Flex Waiver Program
School Improvement Grant (SIG)
Welcome to the Division of Federal Programs. This division administers federal programs and funding to over 570 local education agencies, non-public and charter schools in the amount of $700 million. On this site you can secure information on programs, allocations, request for proposals for grants, and forms.
Notification of Intent to Apply for School Improvement Grant Waiver
The U.S. Department of Education has afforded Pennsylvania the opportunity to extend the waiver previously granted under section 421(b) of the General Education Provisions Act to extend the period of availability of the fiscal year 2009 School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds awarded under Section 1003(g) of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended, until September 30, 2014. This request to extend the waiver, submitted pursuant to section 9401(d)(2) of the ESEA, would permit the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), in accordance with criteria the PDE develops, to identify and allow local education agencies with Cohort 1 SIG schools additional time to expend remaining FY09 SIG funds in those schools.
PDE seeks this extended waiver because some Pennsylvania LEAs have implemented educational programs that have greatly improved the opportunities for their students and have successfully initiated systems to turn around previously low achieving school. PDE believes that the additional time is in the public interest and will enable qualifying LEAs to ensure that their Cohort 1 schools are able to use remaining FY 2009 SIG funds to support continued full and effective implementation of selected SIG intervention models for one additional year.
Should you wish to provide PDE with comments on this waiver request, please send them to Virginia Baker, PDE's SIG state manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or Pennsylvania Department of Education, 333 Market Street, 7th Floor – Attn. SIG State Manager, Harrisburg, PA 17126. PDE must receive all comments by 5 p.m. on August 8, 2013.
Community Eligibility Provision Effects on Title I School Ranking
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296) offers local education agencies (LEA) an alternative to collecting household applications in the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast Programs, which eliminates the unnecessary paperwork and frustration that can go along with the process.
Community Eligibility Provision is a reimbursement option for eligible LEAs and schools that wish to offer free meals to all children in high poverty schools. This program is administered via the Division of Food and Nutrition in the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Detailed information regarding the program can be found at Food & Nutrition Services, Community Eligibility Provision.
The adoption of the Community Eligibility Provision will have an effect on other program areas, including the Division of Federal Programs. Title I building rankings may be affected. Several examples are included in the following document.

|Monitoring/Consolidated Program Review
Each local education agency (LEA) will be reviewed for its compliance with the regulations governing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act once in a four-year cycle. The yearly monitoring cycle runs from January through May of each year. When an LEA is due for a review, they are required to complete a self-assessment, which can be found online at www.leaderservices.com/fedmonitor, with an assigned username and password provided by the Division of Federal Programs.
The monitors conducting these reviews are typically retired administrators or current practitioners that are hired and trained by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Division of Federal Programs. Monitors will use the self-assessments completed by the LEA to verify compliance of each federal program requirement for Titles I A, I D, IIA, III, VI, Fiscal and Ed-Flex Waivers. LEAs will have access to their final monitoring report which is also stored online at www.leaderservices.com/fedmonitor. It can be viewed and printed after logging in with the same assigned username/password. Monitoring cycles are also posted on PDE's website at all times.
Under the Consolidated Monitoring Review Process, every LEA receiving federal funds will be monitored at least once every four years (with the exception of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh who are monitored annually).

Over 200 rural-based villagers from Arusha, Manyara, Kilimanjaro and Tanga regions recently gathered in the safari capital of Arusha to discuss different issues related to the high cost of living and poverty in Tanzania.
The one-day forum, which was organized by an Arusha-based Civil Society Organization (CSO) Hakikazi Catalyst, was meant to empower people from the grassroots level with better understanding of economic issues and how they can be able to respond to the escalating prices of important goods and services in their respective areas. Our Staff Writer, Lusekelo Philemon attended the forum and files this report….
CHRISTINA Tippe, a mother of six, lives in Migombani village, Mto-wa-mbu area in Arusha's Monduli district.
Recounting on how the escalating prices of goods and services are affecting her family, Christina says life is becoming miserable to her and her family of eight. She can no longer meet her family's daily needs as she used to the same period last year.
"Life is becoming very tough for people like me, who have no sustainable income. I am forced to change the type of food we have been eating for years, as one way of mitigating the impact of the rising inflation," says Christina.
"In those good days, 'ugali' used to be our main food for lunch and rice for dinner, but now we have resorted to eating 'ugali' both day and night on a daily basis because its price is a bit cheaper than that of rice," Christina explains.
But, the price of maize flour in some market outlets is soaring as of now. In some areas, a kilo sells at 1,200/-, contrary to the former price of between 700/- and 800/- per kg.
Rice now is selling at 2,500/- per kg and with the size of Christina's family, she needs to buy two kilos of rice which is about 5,000/-, And that's just a single commodity that she and her family needs for consumption. She describes the high prices as a threat "to many of us." Christina is one of the 200 villagers and local government leaders who attended a one-day forum on how to curb the escalating prices of goods and services in Tanzania.
She says the current inflation is badly biting people, and is more serious on rural-based villagers whose life depends on hand-hoe farming, amid unpredictable rains.
Agnes Stephen from Terrat ward shares a similar experience with Christina saying scores of people in the northern part of Tanzania and perhaps across the country are worried over the escalating high cost of living.
She asks the government to take swift measures to stop the ongoing price increase on basic goods, including foodstuffs.
"The price of everything has been going up on a daily basis. I am wondering as to why the government is keeping quiet without taking remarkable measures to relieve its people who are currently unable to meet their daily needs," she says, adding: "We are not sure of what we shall eat tomorrow. This situation has made us to eat just one meal a day….in short we're just surviving."
"When I take 10,000/- to the market I come back with just a few things in my basket unlike it used to be three years ago, where the same amount would buy me a variety of things and I could even remain with a balance," says Agnes.
She observes that the situation has been also contributing to poor performance of children in schools, as they leave home on empty stomachs.
"I have resorted to porridge for breakfast. Sugar is now a luxury rather than being a basic need," Amina Nasoro from Mto-wa-mbu area says.
A mother of five, Amina says when she goes to a shop, she finds a change in price of important goods.
According to her, the situation is becoming worse to people living with HIV/Aids particularly those using anti-retroviral drugs.
"If nothing is going to be done, most people who are currently on ARVs, will die because of poor diet. I have seen several people who are forced to stop using the drugs because they have no food," says Amina, who is also a HIV home-based care worker in the area.
She says sometimes the government boasts of dishing out food relief to people who are facing food shortage, but in most cases, the victims end up getting only 10kgs of maize.
"How can these ten kilos of maize help people who are in need of food?" she wonders.
Thabitha Emmanuel from Olarashi village in Monduli calls upon the government to come up with a special bank, that will be buying all cereals during the harvesting season and sell it at a reasonable price, when the price goes up in the market outlets.
She says, Tanzania is not required to import food because it has a number of areas which are potential for food production, citing Rukwa, Mbeya, Ruvuma and Morogoro regions.
"What is needed is to introduce a bank that will be buying all food produced at a reasonable price and store them until when the demand is high," she says.
Naiman Kitomari from Karangai village in Arumeru calls upon the government to ensure it improves all roads linking areas which are potential for producing food stuffs in the country.
He further pointed out that if the government was very serious in its 'Kilimo Kwanza' initiative, inflation would have gone down by now.
"In this case, more people would have been engaged in farming and produced more food and part of it exported for foreign exchange. In this case, we would have a lot of dollars which would in turn strengthen our shilling."
Kitomari says it is high time the government allocated more financial resources in agriculture, the sector which employs more than 35million Tanzanians.
Ezekiel Muhubiri from Kilimanjaro says: "Kilimo Kwanza is just a political issue rather than a reality, taking into account that budget allocation to the sector is very minimal. So, the initiative is not meant to lift Tanzanians out of poverty."
He says the current inflation is a proof that Kilimo Kwanza has failed because of the politics in it.
Engutoto Ward Executive Officer, Kuruthum Hassan implores the need for the government to come up with a special tool that will be controlling prices of important commodities as it is in fuel and water.
"To me this will be a good idea, though I am not sure if the government will heed it," she says.
Edward Kivuyo from Mbuyuni village says setting up prices of major commodities, will be a good step in scaling-down the escalating inflation.
He says the government should come up with a better mechanism that will make the "free market" system operational in Tanzania.
"The current free market is not friendly to many Tanzanians, who live on less than a dollar per day. The government should leave everything in the hands of businessmen, who always think of hefty profit," Kivuyo suggests.
Dr. Honest Ngowi, a lecturer at the Mzumbe University's Business School is also worried over the ongoing trend saying inflation adds a huge burden to the majority Tanzanians, when it comes to buying goods and services.
He suggests the need for the government to scale-up salaries for employees as one of the short-term measures to address the situation,
"Another solution is for the government to set prices of important goods and services, such as food, transport and medicines," says Dr. Ngowi.
According to him, giving subsidies in important goods and services as it is in agriculture will also help to scale-down escalating prices in the market.
For long-time measures, the economic expert implored the need to come up with sustainable strategies to curb inflation, which include solving power woes, improving road and market infrastructures.
"This will help to improve transport of agricultural inputs to areas which are potential for farming and transportation of harvested food crops from production areas to the markets," he says, adding that food has a big share in contributing to inflation.
"And this is due to the budget weight it poses at family level," he says.
"Improving irrigation farming will be an ideal solution towards improving food production rather than relying on rain-fed agriculture," the don says.
On strengthening the Tanzanian shilling, the expert says, there is a need to come up with practical measures to address the vice by reducing unnecessary spending and exporting more than importing.
"I am worried by the government measures to control inflation. Price increases in Tanzania are the result of economic structural problems partly due to energy instability which causes under production, and not the amount of money in circulation as the government says," says Dr. Ngowi.
Tanzania's year-on-year inflation rate slowed for the third straight month, to 19 percent in March from 19.4 percent a month earlier due to a fall in food and fuel costs.
Food and alcoholic beverages account for almost half the total weighting in the consumer price index in Tanzania.
"Falling food and energy costs are the main reasons for the decline of the inflation rate in the year to March 2012," says Ephraim Kwesigabo, the director of population census and social statistics at the National Bureau of Statistics.
Electricity and gas costs stood at 17.4 percent year-on-year in March 2012 versus 19.5 percent a month earlier.

Liverpool Elisabeth Holmes was the child who opened a gift, set the toy aside, and figured out something creative to make from the box it came in. She will share her creative energy and skill with local children who attend the free Joyful Noise concert and arts event Jan. 27.
If you go
What: Joyful Noise: An Afternoon in the Arts. Includes music, visual arts and storytelling.
When: 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27
Where: Liverpool First United Methodist Church, 604 Oswego St., Liverpool
Celebrate the arts for children. Doors open at 3:30. Free parking in church lot. All are welcome. Call 457-5180 for information.
"I always have known I was an artist," Holmes said. "I grew up in a world of fantasy, so I had to create the physical world I had imagined, make the things that were in my fantasy world."
Holmes says that as a highly visual person, when she reads, she feels as if she's watching a movie. Everything takes on form and color. She is constantly creating.
Among her several current projects are dozens of tiny animals that each convey unique character or express a message.
"I identify mostly as an illustrator and a sculptor," Holmes said. "The animals I now make have evolved over the years. A while ago, I received a book on how to create polymer figurines in a step-by-step process. I made the ones in the book, but soon I was creating my own designs. When I took ceramics in high school, it opened up a new world for me. I saw how physics and engineering were integrated into art."
Holmes, who is wrapping up a graduate program in secondary science education at Syracuse University this year, said she has learned a lot, including the self-knowledge that what she needs to do for a career is something other than teach science.

The Mopar A4 engine is a 4-cylinder aluminum block racing engine that is based on half of a small block Mopar. This engine uses one small block Mopar V8 cylinder head, valves, rocker arms, valve cover, and header. The drag racing versions of this block have the small block Mopar bell-housing and can be used with a transmission. The Midget versions of the block have the bell-housing machined away to save weight since these racing engines are not used with a transmission.
These racing engines must be used with a dry sump oiling system, and the gear drive systems shown below.

The Wiggenweld Potion is a healing potion with the power to awaken a person from a magically-induced sleep.
A prince once used this potion to awaken a princess who had been given the Draught of Living Death by the Hag Leticia Somnolens. The prince first put some of the potion on his lips and then kissed the princess.
"Wiggentree" or "Wiggen Tree" is the name which in the UK is given to the Mountain Ash (a species of the genus Sorbus) because, it has traditionally been used as an anti-witching device.
"Wiggen" from the old Breton means "strength", "bravery" or still "courage". As for "weld", it is an English word which means "join together by heating to the point of melting"'.
Thus, "Wiggenweld Potion" would mean literally "Welder Strength" or "Who Welds the Strength Potion".
Behind the scenes
- The Christmas song 99 Bottles of Wiggenweld Potion mentions this potion quite a few times.
- In the PS1 version of video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry can find completed Wiggenweld Potions on the floor or create one from a special cauldron, by pressing the buttons that appear on the screen. This will restore all of Harry's health or stamina.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry can exchange Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans for Wiggentree bark and Flobberworm Mucus. Harry can then walk up to a special cauldron and make a Wiggenweld potion, which can be drunk to restore some of Harry's stamina. In most appearances the potion has a purple or magenta colour. Various cauldrons and Wiggentree stumps full of the potion can be found hidden all over the castle and its grounds, including within the Forbidden Forest.

text: Eyehategod (also abbreviated and referred to as EHG) is an American sludge metal band from New Orleans who formed in 1988. They have become one of the most well known bands to emerge from the NOLA metal scene. Throughout the years, their core line-up has remained, with the exception of the bass guitarist, a slot in which several musicians have played. Eyehategod have noted Melvins, The Obsessed, Discharge, Black Flag, and Black Sabbath as key influences to their sound. Heavy, detuned, and bluesy guitar riffs dominate the band's discography. They are combined with walls of feedback and tortured vocals to create a harsh misanthropic vibe. Their records had been released consistently by Century Media Records though the band's most recent output is on Emetic Records, not including the numerous splits released under various labels. The band is friends with Anal Cunt and performed with A.C. for the first show after Seth Putnam came out of his coma.

One of my favourite Eating Well recipes ever! I get bored when every bite tastes the same and the balance of ingredients in this dish is perfect - every bite tastes a little different than the one before. Don't skimp on the onion, garlic or spices or overdo it on e liquid. The recipe is great - my new go-to meal for when the cupboard is "bare".
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
To any one turned away by the 2.5 star rating, ignore it. This recipe is absolutely delicious. And not just that, it's really good for you too. Both my husband and 11 year old scarfed it and wanted more.
I think this is the only vegetarian meal I've ever made that my husband liked. The tomatoes give it a hearty, filling flavor, and the gnocchi is a satisfying texture. We use canned tomatoes--fire-roasted with Italian seasoning to kick up the flavor a little, and add just a shake or two of red pepper flakes while it's cooking. This became a staple, much to my delight, because it's really easy to make and you only have one pot to clean afterwards! Ours looked exactly like the photo here.
I've made this according to the recipe with the exception of using gluten free gnocchi which I boil first. My husband loves this recipe even though he doesn't like tomatoes or onions. If you can make someone eat something they don't like and love it that is a good recipe.
One of our family favorites, and so easy!!

We have adjusted our targeted capital expenditures for the year downward by almost $700 million. This reduction in CapEx, however, does not adversely affect our oil production guidance for the 2012 year. As Steve will show you, our balance asset base is very strong. We have tremendous opportunities to increase our reserves and production and most importantly we have a very defined plan to accomplish that. With that, I will hand the meeting over to Steve and then to Doug to discuss our financial position. Steve?Steve Laut

ICAST 2013: Steelhead Floats
DENVER, COLORADO – Eagle Claw is very excited to introduce its complete product family of steelhead floats into its already expansive float program. Float fishing is a popular technique for anglers fishing for steelhead in rivers and streams across the northern regions of the United States. The new steelhead program by Eagle Claw offers floats in numerous styles, colors, and material choices to meet an angler's specific needs.
The angler looking for a clear plastic steelhead float will love the FSHCLR (red and clear) and FSHCLRY (red/yellow and clear) product families. The floats come in four different sizes (depending on the product family) with a weight rating on each size float allowing anglers to select the correct float based on the rig they are fishing. They can support a total weight of 1/8oz., 9/64oz., 1/4oz., and 5/16oz. Both the FSHCLR and FSHCLRY have two floats per retail, include 4 rubber keepers, and MSRP for $3.20.
These steelhead floats are also offered in assortment packs, FSHCLRASST (3 floats per retail) and FSHCLRYASST (4 floats per retail). The FSHCLRASST comes in sizes 1/8oz., 9/64oz., and 1/4oz. and MSRP for $4.00 each. The FSHCLRYASST contains sizes 1/8oz., 9/64oz., 1/4oz, and 5/16oz. and MSRP for $4.00 as well.
The FSHGO is the balsa style in the new steelhead float family of products. This float has a hollow tube and comes with four rubber keepers that allow the angler to use it as a slip or fixed float. The FSHGO is available in a green and orange color combination and with three sizes that support a total weight up to 7/32oz., 9/32oz., and 25/64oz. These floats have one float per retail and MSRP for $3.20.
The final addition to the steelhead float family is the FSHBO floats that are perfect for drift and float fishing. These orange and black with clear stem floats are available in three different sizes; 1.1" diameter x 4.5" stem, 0.98" diameter x 3.4" stem, and 0.8" diameter x 3.5" stem and include two pieces per retail. Each retail pack also comes with four rubber keepers and MSRP is $3.20 An assortment pack FSHBOASST is also offered and contains three different sized floats; 1.1" diameter x 4.5" stem, 0.98" diameter x 3.4" stem, and 0.8" diameter x 3.5" stem and MSRP for $4.00.

Well, they are at it again!
You know those little bonuses you get from MPI once in a while, kiss them goodbye if this "funding for infrastructure" is agreed upon! If you think for a second that this money will remain in the highways budget, think again. As usual, the powers that be will be throwing good money after bad! Here's a tip — listen to your accountant or someone in business, they may be able to advise our present government how to align costs and budget temporarily until there is a strange thing called a "surplus" in funds, then we would not have to take the money out of the taxpayer's pocket yet again for blatant monetary mismanagement.

Super Bowl XLV Recap
We got the big game most of us expected.
What we didn't get was Steelers football.
Three turnovers, INT returned for a TD, silly penalties.
Aaron Rodgers was stellar and established himself as an elite QB.
This despite five dropped passes, one likely for a TD.
Green Bay put 15 players on IR this season, six starters.
Then they lose Woodson and Driver and yet, still find a way to win.
Although I truly respect the Steelers, there's no team I dislike more. In particular, No. 7, who thank goodness we don't have to hear about being HOF bound. No doubt, I'll always have a soft spot for the Packers for winning Super Bowl XLV!
On a side note, I'm a huge Black Eyed Peas fan. But the halftime performance didn't work for me. There were a few good wrinkles, like adding Usher, but overall they sounded bad throughout. Not going to lie about it, their act was less than memorable, which was a disappointment.
