ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- A year and a half ago, the University of Maine launched Project>Login, an initiative that focuses on attracting students into computer technology related majors, and supporting them throughout their studies.
Project>Login advisors coordinate with local businesses, such as Eastern Maine Health Systems and Cianbro, to provide students the opportunity to have paid internships within their field while still enrolled in school.
Professor Harlan Onsrud says these internships are a key part of training students as well as getting them jobs in Maine after graduation.
"What we would like to do when working with employers in the state of Maine is to get them to bring young people on board," said Onsrud. "Even after their first year of school, to say, 'Yeah okay, well this is a potential student that is going to be coming through, coming through the pipeline, and if we can keep them in the program, then that is going to be beneficial.'"
Professor Onsrud also said that in the next decade there are expected to be about 1.4 million open jobs in computer science and computer engineering in the U.S., and Maine will be one of the states that will need skilled graduates. Project>Login helps to fill this skills gap, and provides students with the opportunity to have a well paying job straight out of college.
Those interested in finding out more about Project>Login can go to www.projectlogin.com.

Sometimes called NTSC, Academy, or 4:3, the aspect ratio of these home theater
screens is the shape of televisions made before High Definition came on the scene. These theater screens
were the earliest so many older movies were made with this aspect ratio including classics like Citizen
Kane, Wizard of Oz and many others.
Our Classic Cinema White screen material provides an exceptionally wide angle of view, helping to maintain a consistent image from different seating areas. It has a gain of 1.0, and is most suitable for dedicated theaters with good ambient light control.
Our Brilliant White screen material has a gain of 1.4 for that extra bit of punch, with a minimal decrease in viewing angle. It is also a thicker, more opaque gauge of vinyl than our Classic Cinema White. With its higher gain, it is a good option for dimmer projectors, or in environments with some ambient light such as boardrooms or churches.
Our High Contrast Grey screen material has a gain of 0.8, and can improve your image's contrast by lowering the black levels. This material is a good option for digital projectors with less than spectacular contrast ratios.

May 3, 2016
Ashton Kutcher filed court papers Friday to end his seven-year marriage to actress Demi Moore.
The actor's divorce petition cites irreconcilable differences and does not list a date that the couple separated. Moore announced last year that she was ending her marriage to the actor 15 years her junior, but she never filed a petition.
Kutcher's filing does not indicate that the couple has a prenuptial agreement. The filing states Kutcher signed the document Friday, hours before it was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Kutcher and Moore married in September 2005 and until recently kept their relationship very public, communicating with each other and fans on the social networking site Twitter. After their breakup, Moore changed her name on the site from (at)mrskutcher to (at)justdemi.
Kutcher currently stars on CBS' "Two and a Half Men."
Messages sent to Kutcher's and Moore's publicists were not immediately returned Friday.
Moore, 50, and Kutcher, 34, created the DNA Foundation, also known as the Demi and Ashton Foundation, in 2010 to combat the organized sexual exploitation of girls around the globe. They later lent their support to the United Nations' efforts to fight human trafficking, a scourge the international organization estimates affects about 2.5 million people worldwide.
Moore was previously married to actor Bruce Willis for 13 years. They had three daughters together -- Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle -- before divorcing in 2000. Willis later married model-actress Emma Heming in an intimate 2009 ceremony at his home in Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands that attended by their children, as well as Moore and Kutcher.
Kutcher has been dating former "That `70s Show" co-star Mila Kunis.
The divorce filing was first reported Friday by People magazine.

The first rule of fighting is to take combatants for who they are – not where they fight.
It's an apt mantra coming from Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.
The American Kickboxing Academy representative feeds on a steady stream of world-class middleweight, light-heavyweight and heavyweight training partners, so going through those battles reminds him organizations are only a matter of perception when it comes to determining the best.
Unfortunately for him, perception is often reality, and with pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva holding UFC gold at 185-pounds, it's cemented the fact the world's greatest middleweight competes in the octagon – a cage out of Rockhold's reach while he defends his belt in Strikeforce's hexagon on Showtime.
On a Monday like July 30, though, Rockhold felt – if only for a day – he received championship treatment when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to an Oakland A's 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
"It was a pretty great feeling," Rockhold told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I'm not going to lie. I was coming off the mound. The best part is the delayed crowd reaction. Nobody could believe I threw a hard strike. It was in the mitt. It was all quiet, and then I threw my hands up. The whole crowd starts cheering. … It was hilarious."
Between his training schedule, a Brad Paisley concert and Robert Guerrero boxing match, Rockhold didn't have time to prepare for his first pitch the way he would have liked. He worried of a jinx from friends or Twitter and desperately wanted to avoid being that fighter who can't throw down in the great American pastime. Against protocol he told the bat boy to glove up for some impromptu war-mup throws. "Just get a hard throw out over the plate," he thought. Rockhold did it. The roar of the crowd at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum contextualized the trajectory of the Santa Cruz, Calif. native's career.
"It's hard to believe being up there," he said. "This whole experience happened so fast. Coming from where I was before I fought 'Jacare' [Souza], after a 19-month layoff, coming out in debt, wondering if I was going to make it in the sport and if everything was going to work out. I had all the confidence in myself, but anything can go wrong. It was a nerve-racking time. To beat 'Jacare,' to beat [Keith] Jardine, now to beat [Tim] Kennedy, life's just [expletive] great. Pitching for the A's, have my title, I'm looking to buy a house – pretty much a dream life."
A consummate competitor, Rockhold insists he will rise for whomever Zuffa puts in front of him for his third title defense – whether it's a Strikeforce fighter or a UFC competitor who crosses over to the sister promotion. He welcomes a rematch with "Jacare" to further solidify he can beat the Brazilian – and if all goes well, to prove he can finish him. That's the top-10 fighter he eyes in the hexagon.
"There are challenges, tough guys ahead," the 27-year-old said. "There are a few, but the reality of the situation is I want to be the best in the world, and I can't do that without fighting the guys in the UFC. It's a battle."
Being Strikeforce's middleweight titleholder is a definitive accomplishment for the coastal fighter. Still he must deal with the perception that "people somehow think that the UFC fighters are so much better because they fight in the UFC, which is a joke," he said.
It's something he generally laughs off, but it's also a point of frustration – one he can't ignore. He can only ask for the best fights and fighters available. He hopes it opens up for him like it did for teammate Daniel Cormier, who welcomes former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir to Strikeforce in the fall.
"I think there are a lot of people who aren't coming around to me," said the fighter, who owns a nine-fight win streak. "It's a weird situation. It feels good to get recognized as one of the top fighters out there, but it seems until I beat a top-tier UFC fighter, I won't get that respect."
He feels he should have done "a lot better" versus Kennedy, so he plugs away in the gym to keep his good training-day average high to ensure he performs his best for his next title challenge. Ideally his next opponent will be a UFC crossover. He expects he'd get a tough contender such as Tim Boestch – a fight he believes is logical since "The Barbarian" just beat the Bellator 185-pound champ, Hector Lombard – or Alan Belcher. But not a superstar like Vitor Belfort or Michael Bisping. He'd love if UFC company man and former 185-pound titleholder Rich Franklin answered the call. It's all just speculation and hope, but with the little top-10 traction available in Strikeforce, Rockhold must go with the process and trust his popularity and recognition as a world-class middleweight is "definitely coming along."
After all, what good is a title belt without the requisite respect?
Beyond the ceremonial pitch is one bright glimmer for the lifelong Strikeforce fighter. Showtime wants title vs. title fights. Fans want it. If Strikeforce departed fighters such as Nick Diaz and Alistair Overeem are any indication, the UFC is interested in them. It just depends on where. A fight with Anderson Silva is the challenge Rockhold desires hands down and one that recently became more than just his idea.
"The best fighter pound-for-pound in the world is taking notice – or his camp, whoever it is – but they obviously see something in me and they want to fight," he said of recent comments from the UFC champion's camp they'd accept a fight with him. "I'd jump on that opportunity in a heartbeat."
It's a high compliment especially as the camp rejected potential opponent Chris Weidman despite him being an undefeated middleweight with a five-fight octagon win streak.
"I've never shied down from any fight," said Rockhold, who plans to stay busy by trekking to Temecula, Calif., to prepare Dan Henderson to dethrone light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones at UFC 151 on Sept. 1. "Who knows what's out there? Obviously that's the fight I want. I hope we can work out the contract issues or whatever we need to do, but I want that fight."

Chanukah Fried Dough
December 19, 2011
Not too sweet, not too rich, stretched and briefly fried, all you need is to dust them with a bit...
The arrival of December's frostier weather also heralds the warmth and comfort of a favorite celebratory Jewish holiday, Hannukah. While we're enjoying the glow of the menorah's lights, many are salivating over the foods and recipes intrinsic to this delectable annual celebration. Hannukah recipes include traditional takes on crispy latkes (authentic potato pancakes) to sufganiyot (jelly donuts), but adventurous chefs will find creative Hannukah recipe renditions… such as substituting various vegetables into latkes (sorry, potato!) or experimenting with novel fillings and frostings for sufganiyot, deep-fried donuts (caramel or chocolate) to suit any sweet-craving taste bud.

Schools to go tobacco-free
Henrico County public schools and school-sponsored events soon will be entirely tobacco-free, following the School Board's 4-1 vote Sept. 27 to enact a tobacco-free policy.
The policy likely will not take effect officially for a period of at least a few months, so that staff members and visitors who smoke or use tobacco have time to become adjusted to it.
Board member Lisa Marshall of the Tuckahoe District cast the dissenting vote.
More than 30 other school systems in the state – including Hanover County – already have similar tobacco policies. Henrico school officials believe the policy will promote healthier environments for students, staff members and visitors alike while encouraging healthier lifestyles at the same time and serving as a reinforcement to students about the dangers of tobacco.
Existing HCPS policy allowed individual principals to set their own conditions for tobacco and cigarette use on their campuses by adults, staff members and visitors. Twenty-four elementary schools in the county, three middle schools, five high schools and two specialty facilities already banned all tobacco use on their campuses prior to
the board's vote last week. Other schools and specialty centers allowed smoking in designated areas.
The change is not without detractors. About a third of the 1,263 faculty members who responded to a school system survey last month said they favored the existing policy, while two-thirds said they favored the new one.

A hemolytic transfusion reaction is a serious complication that can occur after a transfusion of blood. The red blood cells that were given in the transfusion are destroyed by the patient's immune system.
There are other types of allergic transfusion reactions that do not cause hemolysis.
Blood transfusion reaction
Blood is classified into different blood types called A, B, AB, and O.
Your immune system can usually tell its own blood cells from blood cells from those of another person. If other blood cells enter your body, your immune system may already have antibodies against them. These antibodies will work to destroy the blood cells that your immune system does not recognize.
Another way blood cells may be classified is by Rh factors. People who have Rh factors in their blood are called "Rh positive." People without these factors are called "Rh negative." Rh negative people form antibodies against Rh factor if they receive Rh positive blood.
There are also other factors to identify blood cells, in addition to ABO and Rh.
Blood that you receive in a transfusion must be compatible with your own blood. This means that your body does not have antibodies against the blood you receive.
Most of the time, blood transfusion between compatible groups (such as O+ to O+) does not cause a problem. Blood transfusion between incompatible groups (such as A+ to O-) causes an immune response. This can lead to a serious transfusion reaction. The immune system attacks the donated blood cells, causing them to burst.
Today, all blood is carefully screened. Transfusion reactions very rare.
Symptoms of a hemolytic transfusion reaction most often appear during or right after the transfusion. Sometimes, they may develop after several days (delayed reaction).
This disease may change the results of these tests:
Therapy can prevent or treat the severe effects of a hemolytic transfusion reaction. If symptoms occur during the transfusion, the transfusion must be stopped immediately. Blood samples from the person getting the transfusion and from the donor may be tested to tell whether symptoms are being caused by a transfusion reaction.
Mild symptoms may be treated with:
The outcome depends on how bad the reaction is. The disorder may disappear without problems. Or, it may be severe and life-threatening.
Tell your health care provider if you are having a blood transfusion and you have had a reaction before.
Donated blood is put into ABO and Rh groups to reduce the risk of transfusion reaction.
Before a transfusion, patient and donor blood are tested (crossmatched) to see if they are compatible with each other. A small amount of donor blood is mixed with a small amount of patient blood. The mixture is checked under a microscope for signs of antibody reaction.
Before the transfusion is given, the health care provider will usually check again to make sure you are receiving the right unit of blood.

The Colored Garden
Laughing Owl Pub., 2000 - Fiction - 264 pages
On the farm of Ruth and Charles Standard is a tiny cemetery of mostly uncut rock and stones. It is a remnant from the days when their land was a small patch of a great tobacco plantation. Residing there, from generations long past, are slaves who were laid to rest under the ground they once worked. One marker tells a far different story. It is the marker of an infant that reads, "Kate. Born and died the same week. Budded on earth to blossom in heaven". And the baby is not all that lies buried in the garden.
The Colored Garden is a story about storytellers: a boy called Sarge and his grandmother, Ruth, whose farm he visits in the wake of his parents' separation. Ruth tends the old slave cemetery as a beautiful flower garden and, during this pivotal summer in Sarge's life, she tells him the adventures of the dead slaves. Listening to Ruth and observing the behavior of the adults around him, Sarge learns that some secrets we keep, while others keep us.

I was rather excited at the new sets inclusion of mercs. So I thought I would share my early experience of them. While I doubt they will be the next meta, they are quite good to play and can bring results if you have the right cards.
The down side is that you will need Ex Fierte to make the most of Heierrat Knights skill, and Ex Yuni if your don't have the new Yuni to really give you a chance.
I've found that starting with Heierrat army and using them to buff Fierte is a good opening. Next Heierrat Knight who works well with Fiefte. Then it's really up to you what you play, but consider that you need the field commander on early to get the most from her buffs. Then play cards that have cheap action skills like Rev Blade, and merc fencer. To try and trigger the commanders second surge skill. I have only achieved this once! I only pack two grims, Rapid Growth and Fire Arrow. For souls you will probably want Dryad for rank up and Delrare for good muti damage.

(KSDK Sports) -- The St. Louis Rams gained a bit more respect in the NFL with the arrival of head coach Jeff Fisher, who has led this team from i's dismal 2-14 record in 2011, to a much improved 7-8-1 last year in which they did dominate the competitive NFC West.
The Rams have made progress in the offseason as well, and few are questioning the improvement the team made with want could be a stellar draft class. But despite all the progress and the renewed attitude at Rams Park, most experts are still not ready to give the Rams any love when it comes to getting far in the 2013 post season.
According to pregame.com, St. Louis is not expected to contend for anything other than a mediocre finish. Offshore bookmaker 5Dimes has the Rams listed as a +7000 money line selection ($100 wins $7000) in its latest 2014 Super Bowl Odds and they are a +800 play to win the NFC West.
If the odds maker's at 5Dimes are correct, the Rams may not exceed last year's win total either as they are favored, at -130 odds, to win fewer than 7.5 games.
Early NFL game lines from Vegas based Cantor Gaming would seemingly concur with 5Dimes projections regarding the Rams. Cantor has St. Louis favored in just four of its 15 lined games (Week 17 was excluded) and listed as a Pick'em in only one contest, a week 14 meeting with the Cardinals in Arizona.

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "For a guy who has asked me to kill a lot of men, this guy is really safety conscious."
- ―Niko Bellic, about the U.L. Paper Contact.
- "Seen. He got that government ting about him: All for the greater good and ting."
- ―Little Jacob.
Paper Trail is the final mission given to Niko Bellic by United Liberty Paper. This mission is one of the missions that are not triggered by going to the boss' destination; instead, it is triggered by a phone call from ULPC after Dust Off. United Liberty Paper's mechanics have finished inspecting the helicopter. Now, Russian businessman Eduard Borodin finally needs to be brought down. Niko will be phoned and directed by his contact to a landing strip in Northern Algonquin where Little Jacob will be guiding you in the passenger seat of the helicopter.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Meet Jacob at the salvage yard off Grummer Road.
- Get into the helicopter .
- Fly south and locate the target chopper.
- Get close and move to the right of the target chopper to give Jacob a shot.
- Drop Jacob at the helipad off Union Drive East.
Meet Jacob at the salvage yard off Grummer Road. Get into the helicopter. Fly south and locate the target chopper. As you go, Little Jacob says that there's a rocket launcher on board and he will personally take down Borodin from the helicopter. The target is in another chopper, flying around Liberty City, and you'll need to follow him and wait for an opportunity to take it down. United Liberty Paper doesn't want any civilian casualties, so you'll have to wait until the target is flying over the water before firing a shot at it.
Chase the target in the helicopter until you get to sea - an area with no bystanders or witnesses. Get close and move to the right of the target chopper to give Jacob a shot.
You will see a cinematic execution where the helicopter is on fire and falls towards sea. It explodes before this happens, therefore killing Eduard. Then drop Jacob at the helipad off Union Drive East.
Video Walkthrough
- Eduard Borodin - Killed by Niko and Little Jacob on orders of United Liberty Paper.
On rare occasions, when you start this mission, Niko and Little Jacob will not say anything during their chase to the target. When this happens, Little Jacob will not fire the rocket launcher, thus, this glitch will cause you to fail the mission. This glitch always occurs even if you repeat the mission and if you reload the save game data. The best way to avoid this glitch is to save the game before the mission and turn off the console. Restart the console and when you start the mission, the dialog should start working again. (Confirmed on PS3 and Xbox 360)
- If you fail to take Eduard down, the flight will continue above Acter Industrial Park, Alderney. Even if you haven't unlocked Alderney yet, you won't gain a six star wanted level when you pass the West River.
- Jacob will smoke while in the chopper, causing Niko to ask him to stop, because he can't see. Though afterwards he says "just smoke it".
- Follow the target chopper under the bridge for some extra dialogue.
- The name of this mission is similar to American rapper Tip harris' 2008 album.
- Both Mavericks in this mission have unique colors.

Minocycline for Rheumatoid Arthritis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn
Minocycline is usually given by mouth (orally), but it is sometimes given as a shot (injection).
How It Works
Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. It fights bacteria in your body. It is not clear how minocycline works to reduce the activity of rheumatoid arthritis. It may work by reducing the action of certain proteins that erode cartilage.
Why It Is Used
Minocycline is primarily used to treat early cases of rheumatoid arthritis. It is used to treat joint pain and swelling.
How Well It Works
In some studies, minocycline has shown some benefit in reducing symptoms, perhaps by slowing the progression of joint destruction caused by rheumatoid arthritis. It can help reduce joint pain and swelling and shorten the time of morning stiffness.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Black or bloody stools.
- Chest pain.
- Unusual bleeding or bruising.
- Fever and chills.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
- Belly pain or cramps.
- Vaginal itching or discharge.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Diarrhea and vaginal yeast infections may occur when oral antibiotics destroy some of the normal and necessary bacteria that live in the body. Eating yogurt that contains active cultures (lactobacillus) may help prevent some of these side effects.
Taking certain antibiotics can make you more sensitive to sun. Avoid the sun and tanning beds. Wear sunscreen and protective clothing when you are outside.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
Complete the new medication information form (PDF)(What is a PDF document?) to help you understand this medication.

HEPHZIBAH, Ga. -- The suspects accused of killing a man at a home on Keron Way made their first appearance in court Friday morning.
The bond hearing for Joseph Leon Guerrero Jr. and Leslie Blair was referred to a superior court judge.
News 12's photographer who was in the courtroom said Blair was very emotional in court.
The two are accused of killing 48-year-old Michael Wickert, who was found dead in a bathtub with head injures at a home on Keron Way Wednesday morning.
Both suspects were arrested Wednesday night. Leon Guerrero was charged with murder and theft by taking motor vehicle and Blair was charged with murder.
Wickert's car, a white 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 Iroc Z edition, is still missing. The car has T-tops, low-profile tires and a sticker on the rear glass that says "Bad boys drive bad toys." The Georgia license plate number is BIR3427.

Globally, nurses all over the world, know Florence Nightingale as the pioneer of the nursing profession.
Born in Florence, Italy on May 12, 1820, she came to prominence for her pioneering work in nursing during the war between Russia and Turkey in 1853 where she tended to soldiers.
Nightingale's ambition to become a nurse arrived when she was 25 years old. When an idea came to her that she should embark on the profession, she told her father – William Nightingale.
But her father, a wealthy landowner, was against the idea and turned down her daughter's request outright.
It transpired that during the time, women were not allowed to be employed, and nursing was associated with working class women.
Undeterred, Florence, an Anglican, believed God had called her to be a nurse.
Her dreams came through in 1851, when her father eventually granted permission for her to train as a nurse.
The woman who had inspired her to be a nurse was Elizabeth Blackwell who was then employed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London – the first woman to qualify as a doctor in the United States of America (USA).
The young woman studied nursing at the age of 31 years at the Institute of Protestant Deaconesses in Germany. Two years later, she went back to London where she was appointed Superintendent of a hospital for invalid women.
Every year, on May 12, the world celebrates International Nursing Day to remember her birthday.
It is to be noted that in the good old days, hospitals in Tanzania were regarded as redeemers; for any sick person taken there was expected to receive consolation, his or her degree of sickness notwithstanding.
But some few years ago, the situation changed; so much that one falling sick and taken to a hospital, especially government owned, was extremely worried of what would befall him or her.
Assuming Florence was here, she would certainly regret having joined the profession. She would remember her father's reluctance to let her become a nurse. Evidently, the spirit of nurses country-wide leaves much to be desired.
In the case of Tanga Regional hospital, for example, there has, for sometime, been public outcry from poor health services providers. The public have ,for sometime, been unsatisfied with the services provided, so much that they , at one time, over six years ago ,aired their grievances to President Jakaya Kikwete at a mass rally at the Mkwakwani Stadium when he visited Tanga during his first five year tenure in office.
However, for some people, especially the old folks, the regional hospital was one of the best health providers in the country.
But as time passed by, the situation gradually changed; with some nurses being branded rude to patients.
It transpired that when the President received the grievances, he instructed the then Regional Commissioner Mohamed Abdulaziz to visit the hospital, as a matter of urgency, to view of the then prevailing situation.
When the Regional Commissioner went there, he was taken to various wards, including the sensitive maternity wing. Here, he found two to three expectant mothers sleeping in one bed.
A few others slept on the floor with mattresses without covers. Abdulaziz was told that there were no sufficient beds for patients, not only in the maternity wing but also in others. The nurses further complained of serious shortage of staff, saying a shift nurse was serving more than 40 patients – an extremely overworking situation. The obtaining climate, undoubtedly led to unintentional change of attitude by most nurses towards patients, in items of patient service satisfaction. The workload was just too much for the staff - a fact an ordinary patient would not easily understand.
In essence, the situation had been brought about by the fact that whereas the population was growing, the government budget for the health sector remained the same. This is because with the population rising, more patients were expected to be handled at health centres. Many Tanzanians view the situation as a shortcoming on the part of the government.
Statistics available show that hardly 50 per cent of expectant mothers visit health facilities in the country; the rest deliver their babies through services provided by traditional midwives.
In effect, the reasons some expectant mothers desist from delivering in public services is not known, though there are unofficial reports that in some hospitals, maternity wards are regarded as police cells.
In a nutshell, shortage of health providers in public hospitals is a serious challenge that is an inhibitor to efficient performance of nursing as a profession.
At the Internatiional Nursing Day held at national level in Tanga, the Tanzania Nurses Association (TANNA) blamed the poor health services provided by some health centres on serious shortage of nurses.
Romana Sanga, the association'.s Secretary General ,said in a message that nurses were grossly overworked, a situation which affected their health - consequently providing services which were below standard – creating numerous complaints by the public.
"One nurse is presently serving between 50 and 80 patients- against the international standard of one nurse per ten patients.
Sanga also detailed other challenges facing the nursing career as shortage of equipment for provision of health services.
She requested the government to consider provision of transport, housing, uniforms and similar allowance to nurses.
This year's theme goes under the title "Closing the Gap From Evidence to Action".

So, I am starting the process of house-hunting in the Bay Area. Yes, the Bay Area where home prices are ridiculously high and practically unaffordable. Unfortunately, I grew up here and love the area and don't see myself moving elsewhere.
I have a few appointments next week with the lenders to get qualified for a loan and potentially get a pre-approval so that my real estate agent and I can go out and start looking. The way the market is right now, there really is no sense in looking unless you have a pre-approval ready to hand with your offer.
Homes are off the market a week after it's put on the market. Mainly because once the open houses are completed, offers are put in, usually over the asking price and it becomes a seller's market. You are competing with many buyers who want the exact same home. You have townhouses here averaging $750,000 in the cities that I hope to buy in and single family homes with square footage of 2000-2500 ranging from $850K-$1M. Unbelievable.
I've considered all parts of the Bay Area to live, but finally settled on something in the Tri-Valley. You might be wondering why because it gets so hot out there during the summer. My sister and her family are out there and I do love the area. I had lived there 10 years ago and find it great for families. Plus I get to see my niece and nephew more often and now they can come and stay at Aunty's house.
I am so excited to finally have my own place. To have family over, have holiday gatherings here and finally feel like I have ownership of where I live. Even if it costs me an arm and a leg.
My uncle encouraged me to buy in San Jose, but it's a bit too far south from me and my job. The Peninsula would have been nice as homes there maintain their values well even during a downturn, but again too far from my job. So, I am sticking to the East Bay.
My preference is a 4 bed and 2 bath home with a nice open kitchen and a moderate sized backyard. Nothing too big that would require a lot of maintenance, but also not a tiny little patio space area either. A nice master would be nice too. I have a feeling I may not be able to afford a 4 bedroom house and may have to look into a 4 bedroom town house instead. But those dreaded HOA fees! Argh!

Don in 60 Seconds
this wiki
- "Get me the hell out of here!"
- — Salvatore Leone.
Don in 60 Seconds is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Joseph Daniel O'Toole from his bar in the Red Light District of Portland, Liberty City.
Toni drops by Paulie's Revue Bar looking for more work from JD, who is a nervous wreck. JD informs Toni that the Liberty City Police Department will be raiding the premises and that they will discover the illegal goings on in the club, JD also tells Toni that Salvatore Leone, Don of the Leone Family; is also there and needs to be escorted away from the premises.
Toni gets into a Leone Sentinel outside the club and drives around the block and into the Pay 'n' Spray to lose the police. Toni then drives Salvatore back to his home in Saint Mark's. Salvatore tells Toni to come back for more work and that Vincenzo Cilli is taking up too much of Toni's time.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the car
- Drive Salvatore away from the club and lose the cops
- Take Salvatore home
The reward for completing Don in 60 Seconds is $1,000. The Micro SMG becomes available for purchase at the Ammu-Nation store in the Red Light District for $600. The missions A Volatile Situation for JD O'Toole and The Offer for Salvatore Leone are both unlocked. Toni also gets to keep the Sentinel if the player wishes (although another one spawns outside Leone's house).
- The name of the mission parodies the name of the film Gone in 60 Seconds. It also reflects the fact that this is a very short mission; all the player needs to do is get the vehicle to the Pay 'n' Spray a block away and drive to Salvatore's house, possibly completing it in under sixty seconds.
