22 U.S. Code § 4071d - Entitlement to annuity
prev | next
(a) Retirement conditions; definitions
(1) Any participant may be retired under the conditions specified in section 4051 of this title and shall be retired under the conditions specified in sections 4052 and 4053 of this title and receive benefits under this part.
(2) For the purposes of this subsection—
(A) the term "participant", as used in the sections referred to in paragraph (1), means a participant in the Foreign Service Pension System; and
(3) For purposes of any annuity computation under this subsection, the average pay (as used in section 8414 [1] of title 5) of any member of the Service whose official duty station is outside the continental United States shall be considered to be the salary that would have been paid to the member had the member's official duty station been Washington, D.C., including locality-based comparability payments under section 5304 of title 5 that would have been payable to the member if the member's official duty station had been Washington, D.C.
(b) Voluntary or mandatory retirement with authorization for immediate annuity; computation of annuity
(1) Any participant who retires voluntarily or mandatorily under section 4007, 4008, 4010a, 4051, 4052, or 4053 of this title under conditions authorizing an immediate annuity for participants in the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System or for participants in the Foreign Service Pension System, and who has completed at least 5 years as a member of the Foreign Service, shall be entitled to an immediate annuity computed under paragraph (2).
(2) An annuity under paragraph (1) shall be computed—
(A) in accordance with section 8415 (e)(1) of title 5 for all service while a participant in this System and for prior service creditable under this part not otherwise counted as—
(ii) an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency entitled to retirement credit under title II of the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act (50 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) or under section 302(a) or 303(b) of that Act (50 U.S.C. 2152 (a), 2153 (b)), or
(3) Any participant who is involuntarily retired or separated under section 4007, 4008, 4010, or 4010a of this title and who would if a participant under part I of this subchapter, become eligible for a refund of contributions or a deferred annuity under part I of this subchapter, shall, in lieu thereof, receive benefits for an involuntary separation under this part.
(4) A disability annuity under this part required to be redetermined under section 8452 (b) of title 5, or computed under section 8452(c) or (d) of such title 5, shall be recomputed or computed using the formula in subsection (b)(2)(A) of this section rather than section 8415 of such title 5 (as stated in section 8452(b)(2)(A) and 8452(c) and (d) of such title). Such annuity shall also be computed in accordance with the preceding sentence if, as of the day on which such annuity commences or is restored, the annuitant satisfies the age and service requirements for entitlement to an immediate annuity under section 4051 of this title.
(5) A former participant entitled to a deferred annuity under section 8413 (b) of title 5 shall not be subject to section 8415(g)(1) of such title 5 if the former participant has 20 years of service creditable under this part and is at least 50 years of age as of the date on which the annuity is to commence.
(A) The amount of a survivor annuity for a widow or widower of a participant or former participant shall be 50 percent of an annuity computed for the deceased under this part rather than under section 8415 of such title 5 (as stated in sections 8442(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), and (c)(2) of such title).
(B) Any calculation for a widow or widower of a participant or former participant under section 8442 (f)(2)(A) shall be based on an "assumed FSRDS annuity" rather than an "assumed CSRS annuity" as stated in such section. For the purpose of this subparagraph, the term "assumed FSRDS annuity" means the amount of the survivor annuity to which the widow or widower would be entitled under part I of this subchapter based on the service of the deceased annuitant determined under section 8442(f)(5) of such title 5.
(c) Annuity supplement
A participant who is entitled to an immediate annuity under subsection (b) of this section shall be entitled to receive an annuity supplement while the annuitant is under 62 years of age. The annuity supplement shall be based on the total creditable service of the annuitant and shall be computed in accordance with sections 8421 (b) and 8421a of title 5 as if the participant were a law enforcement officer retired under section 8412(d) of such title.
(d) Separation for cause based on disloyalty
Any participant who is separated for cause under section 4010 of this title shall not be entitled to an annuity under this System when the Secretary determines that the separation was based in whole or in part on disloyalty to the United States.

Roll the dice (http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/reso...ice/twelve.htm) to determine the gender of each child. Roll seven times initially. An odd number signifies a boy, and an even number signifies a girl. If you roll an 11 or 12, you have had twins; roll twice more to decide the genders of the twins.

Red spruce and spruce/hardwood forests once covered nearly 500,000 acres of western Maryland and West Virginias mountain valleys. This evergreen canopy created cool microclimates and lush habitat for a diversity of plant and animal life. As early as the 1930s, the importance of spruce in maintaining ecosystem function was hailed, as ...its commercial value is equaled, if not exceeded, by its value as a protection for watersheds in holding the shallow soil to the steep, wet slopes, as a check on the silting up of reservoirs, as a refuge for wild life of many kinds, and as a unique scenic attraction. Heavy logging in the late 19th century reduced the forests extent by 99%, leaving only 200 to 300 acres intact. Today, more than 100 years later, this broad landscape and its core areas have yet to recover fully. The swamp habitat is uncommon in the mid-Atlantic and characteristic of more northerly latitudes. The wetland is a mosaic of bog peatland, wet meadow, shrubland, and forest communities that harbors five globally rare species and more than 43 state-listed rare, threatened and endangered species, including the southern water shrew (Sorex palustris punctuatus) and bog copper (Lycaena epixanthe). Conifer cover also maintains cooler climate conditions essential to the health of associated ecological communities, such as open bog peatlands and conifer swamp forest. In an effort to jump-start restoration of Cranesville Swamp, American Forests will reforest 250 acres over a five year period with The Nature Conservancy (TNC). 2003 is the first year of the project and 3,280 trees were successfully planted. The primary tree species used will be red spruce (Picea rubens). Approximately 16,750 spruce seedlings will be planted within existing hardwood/hemlock forests and along forest edges. Seedlings will be collected and planted by volunteers and local residents, together with State and TNC staff.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

Why did Lauren Vaughn introduce her sister to the man she herself was crazy about? Now Lauren is watching the happy couple at their combined bachelor/bachelorette party - while Lauren sits all alone at the bar. Until she spots a hot stranger with the telltale black handkerchief in his pocket: the signal for "seeks no-strings affair with sexy submissive." Lauren can't take her eyes off him. So when he comes over, she kicks her inner good girl to the curb and follows Jamie Forman to his room, where he makes her scream with pleasure all night long.
But Jamie is a complicated man. He can't handle how desperately he wants her in his bed - and his life. It's up to Lauren to teach him how to make all night last forever.

Say something about yourself!
"So Much Better Than 50 Shades"
Fifty Shades of Grey may be the "hottest thing" but realistic? Not so much. How about a short book where there is an actual negotiation, a safety call, a safe word decided by the bottom, a dominant who admits he isn't perfect, a submissive who struggles with using a safe word and comes to terms in a healthy way with it, and conversation about local community and munches? This is it.
Unfortunately it's the only book I could find by Gillian Archer but it was well worth it and I hope there are more in the future.
you know how many hot books I own
"Good and Hot"
Yes, I would. This was a fully fleshed out story with a creative plot. I would prefer this to whatever my radio is playing during 5 o'clock traffic
I can't think of a book off hand but this reminds me of the movie The Wedding Date with Debra Messing. Except the romance scenes are way hotter.
Lauren the heroine and she did a great Jamie as well. No wimpy male voice for Jamie.
When Lauren was sitting at the bar trying to get drinks for the table and she noticed they already had their drinks and did not bother to tell her. It made me really sad and you can feel how her family, namely her sister takes advantage of her and her low self esteem about her body. Then I am excited because she notices Jamie who is hella hot checking her out.
Looking for a short listen that has some realistic BDSM elements and a heroine you can like. Give it a try.
"Not what I expected to be."
Yes I would try another book by Gillian Archer/and or Felicity Munroe.
Well the part I would change about the story would be that the story didn't really tell much about the two main characters in the book. They really didn't do much together and based on the name and picture of the book I was expecting a much steamier story.
no, wasn't very interesting to read a follow-up book.
"Love the BDSM scenes!"
I liked Wicked Weekend because of the BDSM scenes. This is one of the reasons that I love Audible, because I can get Erotica.
The "HEAT" that the narration by Felicity Munroe brings to the book. When you listen, it is easier to get "all hot and bothered".
I wanted to smack Lauren (female character), when she was self depricating, in the beginning. And cheering for J (male character) when he stands up for her.
Where can I get more books by Gillian Archer??
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Boring and predictable"
Was looking forward to a quick happy listen but this book was very boring and predictable all round. The sex/ love scenes were not romantic or hot in any way. Lucky it was cheap enough so won't bother returning.
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"A Short Sweet Treat"
This was a short yummy treat. Kinda like a candy bar. It's quick and just full of that "sex" sugar. Sometimes you don't want a long book to listen to and this one hit the spot. I really enjoyed it and the price of admission.
"too short"
was a sexy story but it was not worth using a whole credit up on it.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
I liked the idea of the story. Jamie was hot and I'd be somewhat interested in seeing where their story will go from here. However, this book was very boring and predictable all round. The sex/ love scenes were not romantic or hot in any way. Lucky it was cheap enough so won't bother returning. Would I read it again...no.
Say something about yourself!
"Wish they would have made a whole book out of it!"
This is a short story...and I find myself being aggravated by short stories. This is the second time that I found a great book, great story, sensual likable characters and it only lasted 3 hours...I have got to stop doing this to myself!
Okay, the story was great...lonely girl feeling dejected is interested in getting into "the scene" but not sure how....enter dominant male who would be all too interested in showing her...he has issues, she has issues, and together they try to trust enough to get together.
The buildup was great, the chemistry and tension was great, and above all the narration was GREAT. Hope this narrator gets many more books because she had wonderful timing, and vocal range.
It was totally worth the $4, just wish it could have been longer.

Michael was extremely kind and understanding. He was prompt in responding to me and was a man of his word. He went way over and above the call for me. I feel his efforts and approach to my problem are what will separate your company from your competitors. After talking with Michael and seeing his efforts... I will be shopping with you again and will pass the word to my employees to check you out. Please give Michael a BIG "ATTA-BOY" for me, for a job very well done. I believe he is a real asset to your company."

If you're always the jokester of the party, then the King's Jester Adult Costume is a great choice for you. This costume features a long sleeve tunic with yellow, green, purple, and red sections, and a classic jester hat, half yellow and half red. Jesters had one of the hardest jobs in the kingdom. If they were unable to make the king laugh, they would often be executed. Luckily that policy has changed, but still. I'd have your best material prepared if you're dressing as a jester. There are plenty of options to accessorize with this costume, including colorful elf shoes, makeup kits, and fun wands.

Options & Extensions for Family to Family Safari
Ballooning in Maasai Mara
It is not surprising that this elegant form of aerial travel has become a part of so many travellers' safaris and such a sought after luxury safari option. Dramatic and exhilarating, it offers a spectacular vantage point from which to view Kenya's magnificence. You ascend in the early morning when the air is crisp and clear and conditions are ideal for ballooning. As dawn breaks over the horizon, throwing light and shadow across the land, the drama of life in the wild unfolds below you. You drift serenely over the great herds. Birds of prey swoop past. Elephants and giraffe cast a curious glance your way. As you float above the splendour of Kenya, you will see it anew from your lofty perspective. The beauty of the wilderness as seen from the early morning African sky is an unparalleled experience we strongly recommend. Upon your descent, you will celebrate with a sumptuous Champagne Breakfast, served on the plains which you just so recently overlooked from your scenic perch high above.
One spectacular morning: $480

The band is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. Its annual run at the Beacon started March 7 and wraps up March 29.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Joanna9 from Airy I've been wearing these for a few weeks and they are comfortable, but they have no arch support so I am adding one inside. I typically wear size 8, and had to order these in 9! A huge size jump. They are actually a bit too long at 9, but at 8.5 they were tight, so adding the insole makes them just fine. From Rockport I typically wear size 7.5 sandals (sometimes 8) and shoes 8 or 8.5 for narrow/V front toe areas. I like the design and bought them so I could wear something other than sneakers, but close to sneakers, with my walk-abouts town.
Date published: 2014-02-13
Rated 3 out of 5 by rosie from Not a style for me. I needed to return the shoes because there was not enough arch support. My sister has a pair and recommended them but they don't feel right on my feet. I liked the style and the ordering service was easy and quick. Mary

A new United Negro College Fund (UNCF) study finds that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) often outperform non-HBCUs in educating Black students. The study, "Serving Students and the Public Good: HBCUs and the Washington Monthly College Rankings," was released in October by the UNCF's Frederick D. Patterson Research Institute. Based on the 2012 Washington Monthly college rankings, it found that 83 percent of HBCUs were above the median among 249 liberal arts colleges and 50 percent above the median for graduating students from low-income families. It also points out:
• HBCUs "consistently rank in the top 50 percent" of schools in both overall rankings and social mobility ranking. • HBCUs seem to be more successful in graduating students from "disadvantaged backgrounds…and tend to perform at an above-average level and significantly better than when they are evaluated strictly on the basis of actual graduation rates."
• HBCUs "have a long-standing commitment to provide educational access to all students."
College rankings, such as in the U.S. News and World Report, are commonly used by school officials to highlight the institution's many features to attract students. Continue Reading →

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by COCODEVILLE Great! I love this spice rack! I have one in my kitchen cabinet for my spices and one in my bathroom for my products! I've had them over a year now and they have held up great. Looks really nice - I recommend! May 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jillk Perfect appearance I recently remodeled my kitchen and was looking for decor that would compliment the style. This rack was absolutely and looks fantastic on my counter. It would also be suitable for mounting. It is well made and a great value for the price. April 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by KansasJo Nice Spice Rack As advertised. Has feet and is very stable just sitting on counter. Also has the ability to be mounted on the wall. I put 12 of the 3 oz. jars in it with about 3/4 inch room left so the jars slide out easily. January 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by spicerack1 great spice rack this is a great spice rack for your smaller bottles of spices ,you know the ones that get lost in the pantry. I hung them on the inside of my panty doors ,the shelf looks great when the doors are opened. The racks are good quality material . September 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scarfnut Multiple uses I bought the rack to hold the spice jars. I found that the jars (another great purchase) fit in a drawer standing up. Since wall space is at a premium in my kitchen I'm now using the racks in my sewing studio to hold thread! I can think of a ton more uses for these cute units which can stand up on a counter or hung on a wall. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnniB Perfect fit for our kitchen Great spice rack, adds functionality and a cute look for our kitchen. Liked our first two so much that we got a third to hold the small bottles of flavored oils and vinegars we've gotten as xmas gifts. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by brandi777 Also works well for bathroom vanity storage Instead of using this as a spice rack, I've put it to use in my bathroom to minimize the clutter on my countertop. I have tons of those tiny perfume samples and I love to have them out so I can try them, so I lined up 6 souvenir shot glasses in the bottom shelf and those hold the perfume vials and other misc. small items. I used the top shelf for dental floss, small tubes of face cleansers, lotions, etc. I even used one of the WM glass spice jars with the green lids for some other small items. It works really well and looks a lot more stylish than some kind of plastic storage. December 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nbean Smart idea, cute style This is a smart way to increase spice storage on the inside of the cabinet door. We have a lazy susan but it's maxed out, and this works great as a supplement. It doesn't store the extra large spice bottles (like the big black pepper ones), just the standard sized ones - which are more common in people's pantries, anyway. Wire items like this are usually overpriced, but this is pretty fair considering how functional it is. August 10, 2013

David Petraeus has resigned as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair.
According to his letter of resignation, Petraeus asked President Barack Obama yesterday to allow him to resign, and today the president accepted.
In a statement, Obama said the general has "made our country safer and stronger."
Petraeus said in a statement that he had shown "extremely poor judgment" in having the affair.
Petraeus has been married for 37 years to Holly Petraeus, whom he met when he was a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The retired four-star general led the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, then took the helm of the CIA in September 2011.
The CIA had no immediate comment.

This is an outstanding battery-operated worklight. It has a 10-watt white LED (800 lumens) with a wide beam reflector for broad coverage; it will brightly illuminate a 12' wide by 9' tall wall from just 4' away.
With four brightness settings (plus an emergency "SOS" flash setting), it lets you choose the amount of light needed for a task. Since the LED output has a color temperature of 6000K, close to that of mid-day sunlight, it won't distort the true colors of illuminated surfaces. The LED emits very little heat, ensuring the lamp won't burn you or overheat an enclosed space as a halogen floodlight would.
Since it is battery powered, you can use it anywhere; the body is water resistant to allow outdoor use. The lithium-ion battery allows up to 3 hours of use at maximum brightness and up to 9 hours on the lowest setting. The light output is regulated to stay within 10% of its original brightness, even when the battery nears the end of its charge. It charges in about 4 hours from a standard wall or vehicle power outlet using included adapters; the adapters can also be used to power the light directly.
The body of the light measures 4-1/2" x 3-3/8" and 4-1/4" long, and is made of die-cast aluminum and tempered glass for ruggedness. Including the stand and carrying handle, it is about 6-1/2" x 5-3/4" x 6-1/2" tall. The stand allows angle adjustment of the light and can also be attached to most worklight tripods. Overall weight is just over 2 lb.
Not just for the job site, it is also an effective emergency light for the home or vehicle.
An excellent worklight at a great price. Available while supplies last.

Angela Tucker two years ago pitched her series idea on challenging racial stereotypes of Blacks. The third season of Black Folk Don't premiered December 2 on BlackPublicMedia.org, the National Black Programming Coalition (NBPC) website. "Season three is going to spark conversations in homes and offices around the country as well as online," predicts Black Public Media Digital Media Director Nonso Christian Ugbode. "People take sides and even question the audacity of the assertions that are raised in the show."
A writer, director and producer, Tucker wrote on her blog a couple of years ago that she prefer "[regular Black] people that had original points of views and were articulate" rather using "being Black" experts.

Two survivors of the Colorado theater shooting are expected to testify before a subcommittee of a Connecticut legislative task force looking into gun violence prevention and school safety in response to the deadly Newtown school shooting.
State lawmakers say Stephen Barton and Ethan Rodriguez-Torrent will testify Monday. They are friends who grew up in Southbury, Conn., which is right next to Newtown, and survived the Aurora, Colo., shooting that killed 12 people last July.
Twenty students and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month.
A large crowd is expected at the 10 a.m. hearing. State capitol police have set up metal detectors because of the sensitive nature of the topic.
The full 52-member task force will hold a public hearing Wednesday night at Newtown High School.

With research linking sugary drinks to unwanted pounds, poor diets and health concerns, are soda companies soul searching or finding ways to maintain sales?
Consider these recent developments:
What does it all this mean?
There are no clear answers to these questions. Only time will tell if the makers of sugar-sweetened beverages will be viewed as having been part of the problem or part of the solution.

How is buying from Walmart beating the billionaires?
It was stellar day for me, the day I went "cold turkey" on ALL sugared beverages (pop, juices, & hot chocolate included!) I feel so much better & have more energy & no more crash after having a bunch of sugar & less trouble controlling my blood sugar. Going "cold turkey" worked for me because I went straight to sugar-free pop and whole fruits (thus, getting all that good fiber, too!). I also beat the soda billionaires by buying the "off-brand" sugar free beverages at WalMart and Aldi -- extremely cheap and satisfying -- great flavors + with or without carbonation). And beating the billionaires is soooo satisfying!!!
It's not just the calories from sugar, it's the addictive quality of sugar as well as the fact that fat deposition is not just a factor of calories in -calories out. Fat deposition is controlled by hormones. Read "Fat Chance" by Robert Lustig.
It's not just sugary drinks. Americans seem obsessed with eating sweet things in any form from artifical sweetners to excess fruit sugars in the form of juices. Unfortunately, those of us who practice healthy nutrition pay the price by footing the bill for obsesity and diabetes through outrageous health insurance premiums. People's nutrition and exercise behavior should factor into what they pay for health care.
We get to know the side effects of sweetened drinks in the later stage of life.

Topic Overview
What is a phobia?
Having a phobia means you are extremely afraid of a specific object, situation, or activity. Having a phobia about something is very different from everyday worry or stress. For example, most people feel worry and stress at some time, such as when speaking in front of a large group of people. People with phobias have so much fear that it's hard to do normal activities, such as going to work.
Having a phobia includes feeling stressed about being near the object, being in the situation, or doing the activity. It also includes being afraid of the object, situation, or activity itself. People with phobias avoid what they are afraid of so they won't feel worried and stressed.
There are different types of phobias:
- Natural environment phobias, such as being afraid of storms or lightning
- Animal phobias, such as being afraid of spiders or dogs
- Blood-injection-injury phobias, such as being afraid of blood or getting a shot (injection)
- Situational phobias, such as being afraid of flying, elevators (and other closed spaces), or bridges
- Other phobias, such as being afraid of choking or throwing up. Other phobias in children include being afraid of loud noises or characters in costumes, such as clowns.
Many people who have phobias also have another problem such as an anxiety disorder, depression, or substance abuse.
What causes phobias?
The cause of phobias is unknown. If you have a family member with a phobia, you are more likely to have a phobia. Sometimes a person might have a phobia because he or she:
- Had something bad happen, such as being bitten by a dog.
- Had a panic attack in a specific situation, such as being in an elevator.
- Saw something bad happen to someone else, such as seeing a person fall off a building.
- Saw someone else who was very scared of something, such as sitting in an airplane near a person who is afraid of flying.
- Learned about something bad happening, such as a plane crash.
Phobias usually start when a person is a child or a teenager. Children have more animal phobias, natural environment phobias, and blood-injection-injury phobias than teenagers or adults. Situational phobias usually start when a person is an adult. Women often have phobias at a younger age than men do. If a person has one phobia, he or she is likely to have another phobia as well.
What are the symptoms?
The main symptom of a phobia is being more afraid than most people of being around an object, being in a situation, or doing an activity. Even just the thought of these things can cause stress in people who have phobias. Children show their stress by crying, throwing tantrums, freezing, or clinging to someone else.
Adults with phobias know that the amount of fear and worry they feel is more than the danger of being hurt by the object, situation, or activity. Children do not understand this about their phobias.
Many people with phobias are more afraid of being hurt by the object or situation than they are afraid of the object or situation itself. For example, a person might be afraid of traveling in an airplane because he or she is worried that the plane will crash. People with phobias might be worried about the following things happening when they are around the object or situation they are afraid of:
- Losing control
- Panicking
- Feeling physically stressed or afraid, including having a faster heartbeat or having a hard time breathing
- Fainting. Many people who have a blood-injection-injury phobia faint when they are around the object of their phobia. For example, a person might faint when he or she has to get a shot.
The amount of worry or fear a person has depends on how close they are to the object, situation, or activity they are afraid of. For example, a person is more afraid of a spider that is on the table in front of him or her than of a spider that is outside a window. The worry and fear a person has also depend on how easily the person can get away. For example, a person might feel more afraid in an elevator when the doors are shut than when the doors are open.
How are phobias diagnosed?
To find out if you have a phobia, your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms, including how long you have had them. Your doctor will also do a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history. And he or she will ask questions about medicines you are taking. This information will help your doctor find out whether or not you have some other condition.
To be diagnosed with a phobia, you will probably have most of the following symptoms:
- You are more afraid than most people of a specific object, situation, or activity.
- You feel stressed or have a panic attack when you are near the object or situation.
- If you are a teenager or adult, you understand that the amount of fear you have about the object or situation is not reasonable.
- You avoid the object, situation, or activity that you are afraid of.
- The fear and stress that you feel make it hard for you to do normal activities such as going to work every day or doing grocery shopping.
- If you are under age 18, you have had symptoms for at least 6 months.
- Your symptoms don't fit another problem, such as panic disorder.
How are they treated?
Phobias are treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy. This therapy includes imagining or actually being close to the object, situation, or activity that you are afraid of. This is called exposure therapy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can be done with one person or in a group.
One type of exposure involves a series of steps to get closer to the object, situation, or activity. This is called systematic desensitization. For example, if you have a phobia of heights, you might first imagine yourself in a high place, such as a balcony on the 10th floor of a building. Then you would do an exercise to help you relax until your worry and fear about heights are less. Next, you would try going onto a balcony on a lower floor and do the exercise to help you relax. Finally, over time, you might be able to go onto the 10th-floor balcony without being afraid.
Sometimes your doctor might prescribe medicine. Medicine may help with the symptoms of anxiety that you have because of your phobia. Medicine for phobias is most useful if it is combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Unfortunately, many people don't seek treatment for anxiety disorders. You may not seek treatment because you think the symptoms are not bad enough or that you can work things out on your own. But getting treatment is important.
If you need help deciding whether to see your doctor, see some reasons why people don't get help and how to overcome them.

About Björk
Björk Guðmundsdóttir is an Icelandic singer/songwriter with an eclectic range of music that has spanned from rock to jazz to electronic dance music to classical to folk to artistic expression. Born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland, Björk began studying classical piano at the age of eleven. A record label offered Björk a record contract after an instructor sent a recording of Björk singing to an Icelandic radio station. The album Björk was released in 1977. Björk formed an all-girl punk group as a teenager and later joined a jazz fusion group. Björk and bassist Jakob Magnússon created a band called Jam-80 (later named Tappi Tíkarrass) and released the album Miranda in 1983. Björk joined a new Gothic Rock band, KUKL, and toured Iceland with the UK punk band Crass and later performed in the UK with Flux of Pink Indians. They produced two albums together, 1984's The Eye and 1986's Holidays in Europe.
In 1986, a few members of KUKL and Medusa started a band that later became The Sugarcubes. The Sugarcubes' first single, "Ammæli" became a hit in the UK and they were immediately signed by One Little Indian, a label set up by the former bass player of Flux of Pink Indians. Björk is still signed to this label today. The Sugarcubes also signed a distribution deal with Elektra Records in the United States and recorded their first album Life's Too Good in 1988. The Sugarcubes became international stars and Björk participated in several side projects including recording a jazz collection and contributing vocals to other artists' albums.
After the Sugarcubes split up in 1992, Björk moved to London to pursue a solo career. Björk's first international hit, "Human Behavior," was a dance track based on a guitar rhythm sample, and the song was played frequently on MTV. Björk released her solo album Debut in 1993. The album was dance-oriented, including the singles "Venus As a Boy", "Like Someone in Love," and "The Anchor Song." It was named album of the year by NME and went platinum in the United States. Björk won the awards for "Best International Female" and "Best International Newcomer" at the 1994 BRIT Awards. Debut's success led to collaborations with other artists, and Björk co-wrote Bedtime Story for Madonna's 1994 album Bedtime Stories.Madonna tickets are flying off the shelves this year as she embarks on her 2012 MDNA tour.
Björk's second album Post was released in 1995. The album had a trip hop/electronic sound with singles like "Possibly Maybe" and "Enjoy." It also featured jazz and orchestral influenced arrangements in other tracks. The album ranked 7th in Spin's "Top 90 Albums of the 90's" and number 75 in their "100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005" and was eventually certified platinum in the United States. Björk released her third album Homogenic in 1997, a departure from her earlier albums and more experimental, featuring songs like "Joga" with big beats and strings.Homogenic was certified gold in the United States in 2001. Björk's music videos received plenty of airtime, and she released the first DVD single ever in the US, "All is Full of Love."
Björk released the album Vespertine in 2001, featuring chamber orchestras and choirs. She also released a self-titled coffee table book of prose and photographs simultaneously. Björk toured theatres and opera houses in Europe and North America to support the album.Vespertine sold two million copies by the end of 2001. The album included the singles "Hidden Place," "Pagan Poetry," and "Cocoon." Her music videos, especially for "Pagan Poetry," created much controversy and were eventually aired uncensored late at night by MTV2's "Most Controversial Music Videos." In 2002 Björk released Family Tree, which included unreleased versions of some of Björk's songs, and a Greatest Hits album. A new single "It's In Our Hands," charted at 37 in the UK.
In August 2004, Björk released Medulla, an album in which she tried to make completely vocal based, although the final version included electronic programming. The album featured vocal performers like throat singer Tagaq, beatboxer Rahzel, Japanese beatboxer Dokaka, avant-rocker Mike Patton, Soft Machine drummer/singer Robert Wyatt and several choirs. The album charted at 14 in the United States, her highest charting at the time. Björk released her sixth studio album, Volta, in 2007, featuring hip hop producer Timbaland and a wide range of other collaborators. The first single off the album, "Earth Intruders," became Björk's second ever Billboard Hot 100 entry in the US and the album debuted at 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Other singles included "Innocence", "Declare Independence" "Wanderlust" and "The Dull Flame of Desire.
Björk's accolades include four BRIT Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, one MOJO Award, three UK Music Video Awards, and the 2010 Polar Music Prize in recognition of her "deeply personal music and lyrics, her precise arrangements and her unique voice." Björk has also been nominated for an Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and 12 Grammy Awards. In 1999, Björk wrote and produced the musical score for the film Dancer in the Dark, and at the request of the director, agreed to play the starring role, eventually receiving the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. In August 2004, Björk performed the song "Oceania" at the Opening Ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Björk was ranked number 36 on VH1's "The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll," number 8 on MTV's "22 Greatest Voices in Music" and number 60 on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Singers."
In 2011, Björk released Biophilia, which combines music with technological innovation, science and nature, including an "app album," educational collaborations with children and specialized live performances. The first single off Biophilia, "Crystalline," uses complex breakbeats along with several specialized custom-built instruments. The one-of-a-kind album is sure to delight the millions of Björk fans, so Björk tickets will be high demand in 2016!

This is a community guild project to build a fantasy-type 'globe theatre' (request thread here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/ma...eatre-map.html).
Anstett has the basic floor plans (divided into six maps) and layout of the theatre, and myself, Meshon, and whoever else would like to assist will use this thread to make the objects (chairs; curtains; stages; open seating; sandbags? etc.) and textures (mostly wood I guess).
The entire theatre measures 300 feet by 150 feet, so each of the six maps will measure c. 100 feet square (ie 20 five-foot grid-squares across). At 100ppi this means each of the six maps measures 2000x2000 pixels. The scale for all objects and textures is thus 1 foot = 20 pixels; 5 feet (1 gridsquare) = 100 pixels = 1 inch when printed out.
In any case, anyone can contribute here, and all images uploaded in this thread can be used by anyone for NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
Step one is for Anstett to upload here his basic floorplans of the theatre.

Novel Interventions in Criminal Justice Populations Division
Research Areas
A large randomized trial of oral naltrexone in probationers with opiate dependence has recently been completed. The Division concluded a pilot multi-site trial of depot (injectable) naltrexone. Currently, the Division is the lead site for a large scale multi-site study. In this study, a total of 308 opiate-dependent patients who are on probation or parole were randomized to receive either monthly depot naltrexone injections or treatment-as-usual in an effort to study relapse in this population. The Division is also beginning a clinical trial of depot naltrexone in the management of repeat DUI offenders.

In the modern highly turbulent world people often run out of funds to manage some kind of financial emergency that comes up without ringing. This certainly holds true in the case of folks who make a living from one payday to another. In a pressing situation managing a financial urgency is certainly not an easy task. Often people turn to their relatives and friends for help but many times they fail to get necessary financial help even from their close relatives. Hence it becomes very important that you have easy access to quick funds in times of need. Luckily you can get out of any stuck situation by opting for quick cash loans.
Getting fast loans is very easy and hassle free. Unlike traditional loans you don't have to go through a lengthy and time consuming lending procedure. On the contrary quick cash loans are offered immediately within a day's time. In order to become eligible for a loan you must be above 18 years of age and have a decent income source with a valid bank account. If you fulfill these simple requirements you can certainly get quick money within hours.
The complete process of lending and borrowing is done on the World Wide Web and there are no physical meetings between the borrower and the lender. This in turn saves a lot of time which can be very handy during urgent financial situations such as hospitalization of your loved ones or similar scenarios. As a borrower you have to submit a duly filled in application form along with a scanned copy of your age proof employment proof and bank details. If the lender is satisfied with your application you will be notified about the same and money will be transferred in your bank account instantly.
Quick access to immediate funds within hours fast loan approval easy eligibility criteria etc are some of the appealing features and benefits of quick loans. Hence most of the working class individuals turn to this handy lending facility whenever they are out of cash to manage a particular financial obligation between two paydays. Even so certain folks do not access this loan facility due to high rates of interest and late payment charges. Check some good information here.
Though quick cash loans come with higher rates of interest but you can definitely land an affordable deal by shopping around wisely. There are literally hundreds of lenders on the web. As a result finding a loan with pocket friendly rates of interest is not an impossible task. Similarly you can save yourself from late payment charges by making timely repayment.

Churchill River
Churchill River viewed from space. Source: U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The Churchill River drains a portion of the Canadian Shield, and its catchment area lies entirely within Canada. Known by the French name Rivière Churchill, the basin spans portions of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, running a total length of 1610 kilometers, prior to discharge at Hudson Bay. The basin as a whole is sparsely populated, with an average human density of approximately five per square kilometer. The mouth of the Churchill River is a rich ecological area, with Beluga whales, polar bears and seals in abundance.
Source:Topography from U.S.Geological Survey stream course data from DEMIS Mapserver.
The Churchill River is iced over much of the year, but flows freely during the Canadian summer. The watershed is covered largely with taiga biome, and is an important denning area for the polar bear, who makes her way out to pack ice in November of each year.
Churchill River at its mouth. Source: Manitoba Water Stewardship The drainage basin of the Churchill River constitutes 383,350 square kilometers of land, largely taiga and tundra land cover. The river flows generally from the west to the east, spanning a longitude range of about nineteen degrees and a latitude range of approximately six degrees. The Churchill basin is situated to the north of the Nelson and Saskatchewan River basins
Headwaters of the Churchill are in central eastern Alberta, and are generally characterized as a combination of the Beaver River, Winefred River and Sand River, along with Cold and Beaver Lakes; discharge from this complex of waters reach a chain of lakes (Churchill, Peter Pond and Lac Ile-a-la-Crosse) in Saskatchewan. Beaver River is the chief tributary to the Churchill, discharging at Lac Ile-a-la-Crosse.
Considerable waters of the Churchill freeze entirely to the bottom over the winter. This river has been used as a locus of studies into climate variability; however, satellite imagery is plagued with different interpretations, due to surface ice roughness and other parameters. Thus no clear temporal trends in ice persistence are evident.
Water quality
Water quality in the Churchill River is generally good, with pH levels being slightly alkaline at approximately 8.0. Nitrate plus nitrite concentrations are in the range of 15 milligrams per liter. Turbidity levels in Churchill River are quite variable, depending on the reach of the river examined; such a case of spatially varying turbidity was evident in historic times as well. For example the 1906 Catnadian Geological Survey noted that turbidity was high in lower South Indian Lake as well as waters of the mainstem Churchill River in the vicinity; however, upper South Indian Lake waters are quite clear.
Sediment in the Churchill River is considered only moderately contaminated with respect to mercury, exemplified by typical tissue concentration levels of six to fourteen parts per million of that heavy metal in members of the Chironomidae family.
Aquatic biota
Beluga whale. The largest animal inhabiting the Churchill River is the Beluga whale, who enters the brackish waters of the river mouth near Hudson Bay when ice melting occurs in the summer. The seasonal high Beluga population of Belugas in western Hudson Bay is approximately 23,000 individuals. Belugas assemble at the mouth of the Churchill along with abundant populations of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the summer.
Terrestrial ecoregions
Polar bear moving toward ice in the Churchill River Basin. @ C.Michael Hogan At the mouth region of the Churchill River the Southern Hudson Bay taiga ecoregion covers the low lying plain along Hudson Bay. Stunted black spruce and tamarack dominate the vegetation here. These trees are larger and more dense toward the southern part of the ecoregion. The shrub layer consists of dwarf birch (Betula spp.), willow (Salix spp.), and northern Labrador tea (Rhododendron tomentosum, syn Ledum palustre ssp. decumbens).
Poorly drained areas support dense sedge (Carex spp.), moss, and lichen covers, and the raised beaches present a striking pattern of successive black spruce-covered (Picea mariana) ridges alternating with depressional bogs and fens. The area to the south of James Bay acts as a transition between the coniferous mixed forests to the south and the tundra to the north, and as such, has a greater diversity of species, including balsam fir (Abies balsamea), white spruce (Picea glauca), and black spruce, quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), and paper birch (Betula papyrifera). Wetlands make up 50-75 percent of this ecoregion.
Characteristic wildlife species in the Southern Hudson Bay taiga include caribou (Rangifer tarandus), snow goose (Chen caerulenscens), Canada goose (Branta canadensis) and snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) throughout most of the ecoregion. Polar bear (Ursus maritimus), arctic fox (Alopex lagopus), tundra swan (Cygnus columbianus), sea ducks, shorebirds, Beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas), and seal (Phocidae) are found along the Hudson Bay coast. Willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) occur south of the Hudson Bay coast, and toward the lower end of James Bay black bear (Ursus americanus), wolf (Canis lupus), moose (Alces alces), lynx (Lynx canadensis), ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) and American black duck (Anas rubripes) are found.
Further upriver lies the Northern Canadian Shield taiga ecoregion. The ecoregion as a whole constitutes the tundra and boreal transition zone. Vegetation consists of open, stunted stands of black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina), with secondary quantities of white spruce (Picea glauca) and ground cover of dwarf birch (Betula sp.), ericaceous shrubs (Ericaceae), cottongrass (Eriophorum spp.), lichens and mosses. Drier sites can support open stands of white spruce, ericaceous shrubs and a ground cover of mosses and lichens. Poorly drained sites support tussock vegetation of sedge (Carex spp.), cottongrass, and sphagnum moss (Sphagnum spp.). Vegetation in the Tazin Lake Upland in the southwestern region is characterized by medium to tall closed stands of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) and balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera), with white spruce, balsam fir (Abies balsamea) and black spruce occurring in late successional stages.
Algonquin Couple, an 18th-century watercolor. One of the major Native American groups in the Churchill Basin was the Algonquian Nation, which people inhabited a vast territory extending from Labrador south to Virginia and northwestward to the southern banks of the Churchill River. The western limit of the Algonquin people demarcates the boundary of the east and west Native American linguistic groups. The Algonquins are thought to have produced the notable rock paintings extant in the Churchill Basin today. These pictographs are a testimonial to the use of the Churchill River as an important navigation and trading route in ancient times.
History and naming
The Churchill River was named for John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough and governor of the Hudson's Bay Company in the interval 1685 to 1691. The Cree name for the river is the Missinipi, meaning big waters.
In the interval 1694 to 1720 Crees battled the Chipewyans in the middle and lower Churchill Basin. In the upper Churchill reaches Crees were in conflict with the Beaver tribe near Lake Athabaska during the same time period. In historic times the headwaters area of the Churchill River have always been a significant fur trading zone.

The residency requirement at UNF is 24 credit hours, 18 of which must be taken at the 6000 level. No student may earn a UNF graduate degree without 24 hours of UNF graduate course credit. It is also required that students earn a majority of credits toward their degrees at UNF. Individual programs have particular requirements concerning transferring in credits. Most graduate programs at UNF allow a student to transfer in approximately 20 percent of the overall graduate credits required for a degree (rounded up to the nearest number divisible by 3) from another regionally accredited institution, as allowable under the residency requirement and as approved on a course-by-course basis at the discretion of the appropriate graduate program director. Additional credits may be transferred in via special petition, subject to the approval of the appropriate graduate program director and the graduate dean. No student may transfer in more than 40 percent of the overall credits required for a degree. A student who transfers in more than 20 percent of the credits required for a degree may not apply any credits earned as a transient student (hours taken at another institution while the student is matriculating at UNF) toward fulfillment of that degree's requirements without prior approval of the appropriate graduate program director and the graduate dean. Students wishing to enroll in courses at another institution for the purpose of transferring credits into their graduate program of study must complete a "Concurrent Enrollment" form and have prior approval from the appropriate graduate program director. Additional credit transfer conditions:
