pc ps3 xbox360 Ubisoft has a lot to prove with its "what if" story of an evil George Washington. The first episode wasn't nearly as enthralling as Ubisoft had promised, mostly due to the fact that it felt like a lot was held back in favor of splitting it into three parts.

Joss Stone was born April 11, 1987, in Dover, England. In 2002, she left home for New York City to pursue her dream and landed a deal with S-Curve CEO Steve Greenberg. A year later, she released her debut album, The Soul Sessions. The record reached the top 5 in the U.K. and the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Chart. She followed her debut with 2004's Mind, Body & Soul.
Early Career
Singer Joscelyn Eve Stoker, better known as Joss Stone, was born on April 11, 1987, in Dover, Kent, England. A lover of soul music since a young girl, Stone is known for deep throaty vocals, soulful renditions and barefoot performances. In 2002, she left home for New York City to pursue her dream and landed a deal with S-Curve CEO Steve Greenberg.
A year later, at age 16, Stone released her debut album, The Soul Sessions, a collection of covers she produced in just four days. The record reached the top 5 in the U.K. and the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Chart. The singer followed her debut with 2004?s Mind, Body & Soul, a body of original work that was an even bigger success than the first. In 2005, Stone won two Brit Awards and was nominated for three Grammys.
Commercial Success
Stone enjoyed continued success with her next effort, 2007's Introducing Joss Stone, which went gold in the United States. Colour Me Free!, released in 2009, failed to make as big of an impression as her earlier work. According to some reports, Stone was having creative differences with her record label EMI.
Stone'd Records
Branching out on her own, Stone launched the Stone'd Records label in 2010. She also has explored cooperative projects. Stone joined forces with such rock and reggae stars as Mick Jagger and Damian Marley to form the group Super Heavy. The band announced in May 2011 that they will be releasing their first album later that year.
Attempted Theft
With all of her fame and fortune, Stone found herself the target of criminal plot. In June 2011, two men were arrested near Stone's country home in rural England. The pair had been planning to rob the singer and possibly injure or kill her, according to several news reports. They have been charged with conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Stone remained largely unfazed by the incident. "I'm all good. People are crazy, but that's ok," she told one website. Stone will release her next album, LP1, in this July.

Name Changers
In entertainment, where the line between fiction and reality is often blurry, names are a crucial part of a celebrity's image. Stage names are often chosen to make an actor or musician's name easier to pronounce or remember, or simply to make it sounds more attractive. Here are famous celebrities who have changed their names.
Name Changers 236 people in this group

Musical Monikers
When musicians land big fame, there typically comes a moment of reinvention in which the "rock star" identity is born. This new persona often requires a new name, a way to differentiate between the private and public versions of themselves. Musical monikers take different forms, from the simple, last-name changes aimed at boosting celebrity appeal—like Steven Tyler—to the glamorized version of a childhood nickname—like Jay-Z. Musicians' nicknames and aliases tend to take on an identity all their own over time, often becoming as full of personality as the artists they represent.

This spring, why not celebrate the season with a blend of familiar and new? Here are some favorite flavors and foods of spring, along with some ideas for giving them new appeal:
* With bright colors and strong, sweet flavor, citrus adds zing to spring. Lemon is ideal for incorporating into spring dishes, from enhancing veggies like early spring squash, to delightful desserts like Lemon Pull-Aparts. Lemon also plays well with a variety of fish dishes - perfect for anyone observing fish Fridays during Lent.
* Baked dinner rolls are a springtime favorite for every meal of the day. What Easter brunch would be complete without them? Dinner rolls take on fun seasonal flare when you use ready-made options like Rhodes Bake-N-Serv dinner rolls to create edible works of art like bunny shapes, egg baskets and rabbit-shaped veggie dip bowls. Simply thaw the raw rolls, and shape them while still cold to make a variety of delicious, creative shapes - without the work of mixing and kneading your own dough. Try these two fun recipes to dress up any springtime table:
Bunny Buns
1 package Rhodes Dinner Rolls (thawed but still cold)
Cut a small piece of one roll for a tail. Roll remaining piece into a 16-inch rope with pointed ends. Twist top of rope together. Place on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Pull pointed ends apart for ears. Roll small cut-off piece into a ball for the tail. Using your finger, make an indentation at the spot for the tail. Moisten the tail with water and place in the indentation. Repeat to make as many bunnies as desired. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and allow rolls to rise for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the wrap and bake at 350 F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy with butter.
Veggie Rabbit Dip Bowl
Serves 12. Prep time: 15 minutes (excluding thaw time). Bake time: 30 minutes.
2 loaves Rhodes Bread Dough, thawed but still cold
2 sliced almonds
2 large raisins
1 egg, beaten
Cut one loaf of bread dough into 1/4 and 3/4 portions. Shape 3/4 portion into egg shape for body and place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Shape 1/4 portion into pear shape and place above body for head. Clip side whiskers with scissors. Cut second loaf in half. Cut one half in half again for ears and roll into two 16-inch ropes. Fold together and place on top of head.
With remaining half of loaf, divide dough in half. Take one half and cut into two pieces. Shape into two large thumper feet and place under bunny. Clip toes. Divide last piece of dough into 1/3 and 2/3 portions. Divide 2/3 portion into two hands and place on side of body and clip fingers. Divide remaining 1/3 dough into two large balls and one small ball. Place two large balls on face for cheeks and one small ball for nose.
Place two raisins on face for eyes and two almonds for teeth. Brush everything with beaten egg, even the teeth. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap. Let rise 15 to 30 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until browned. Let cool. Hollow out tummy and fill with your favorite dip.
You can find more great dinner roll recipes at www.rhodesbread.com.
* Spring brings the arrival of one of the most delectable edible buds - artichokes. Add them to pasta salads or green salads for flavorful pizzazz. In addition to being delicious and timely for spring, artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fiber, and are believed to deliver a host of health benefits, including improved digestion and lower cholesterol.
* Peas are the quintessential green veggie of spring. Low in calories and high in vitamin A, peas are a go-anywhere ingredient. Raw peas add color and snap to spring salads. A handful tossed into warm pasta dishes add a layer of flavor and enhance nutritional value. Cream them as a base for a cold soup or a sauce to enhance fish.
* Nutritionists advise Americans to eat a colorful range of fruits and vegetables, and for sheer bright color and great flavor it's hard to beat strawberries. They also deliver a wealth of health benefits since they're packed with key nutrients like potassium, magnesium and vitamin K - all important for overall good health. Eat them sliced and sprinkled with an alternative sweetener for a simple, low-calorie treat, or try something new and original like strawberry bruschetta.

Photo: Penny LancasterBack in 1963, when Rod Stewart was just a teenager and still an unknown, he got his girlfriend pregnant. Because the couple wasn't married and had no money, their baby girl was given up for adoption. Now, Stewart has written a tribute to that old girlfriend on his upcoming album, Time.
The song is called "Brighton Beach." Speaking to the British paper The Independent, the singer says, "It's about a real girl, her name is Susannah Boffey. She was what I thought at 17 was my first love affair and she was the mother of my first child. She was adopted because we didn't have a pot to p**s in in those days."
Rod adds, "There was no consideration of marriage and it was a real blot on your character to get a girl pregnant in those days. I was frightened to tell my mum and dad so I told my brothers and they said 'We'll take care of you.'"
These days, Stewart has a good relationship with Sarah, his child with Susannah, who re-connected with Rod years after being adopted at age five. "I'm very much in touch with Sarah now and we've just begun to call each other father and daughter which was hard because I didn't change her [diapers] or take her to school," he tells the Independent. As for Susannah, 68, who now lives in France, Stewart says, "She doesn't want much to do with us, unfortunately."
The singer says that he hasn't told either Susannah or Sarah what the song is about, but he predicts that Susannah will "love it." The lyrics describe their romance being consummated "under the stars," as Stewart sings, "You were Greta Garbo, I was Jack Kerouac." Now, Rod sings to her, "I swear to God, I could not have loved you anymore…I sit here playing with my kids and wonder where you are in this world…do you ever stop and think about me?"
Stewart's new album Time, featuring "Brighton Beach," is due in May. He has said that writing his autobiography inspired him to pen the songs on the record, and in this case that certainly appears to be true.

It has somehow lost inductance. If you pass 60 Hz through each coil of Z1 with a transformer you should see a difference in #37. If you don't, I am stumped. The problem is that the coil permeability probably changes with current so you might have to pass 100A of AC through the coil to read its design impedance value.
And with Z1 set at low current and a constant load on the welder the scope should show one of the three phases higher than the others and not adjustable.
If R equals the DC coil's resistance and X equals the coil's impedance and XL equals the coil's inductive reactance, then X² = R² + (XL)². If the coil is primarily inductive reactance, an ohmmeter won't tell you much.
If you have the schematics for the other welders and they are still working, I'd start measuring whatever components in each one that doesn't show a schematic value for resistance or inductance. For this one I see 10 unmarked coils.
BTW, the resistance of VR1 will vary with the voltage applied to it.
BTW, MIG welders are described as Constant Voltage sources, so arc welders might be more like Constant Current sources, with the SR3 diode bridge acting like a current summing network and VR1 acting to limit open circuit voltage, which is theoretically infinite for a CC source. That's probably why the SR3 diodes have such a high PIV.

22 Nov 2009 - 12:00You are the chanter of my life...my other soulmate we are destined to be together! Okay that sounded creepy but i love your chanter guide it helped me a lot. I'm a offensive build so its great with pvp but sometimes when I have to go on raids I use the defensive build, her name is Monita, right now im aming for full daev set which is useful until 40 but anyways thanks to your build Im able to kick alot of asses. -
22 Oct 2009 - 08:14Hey you. Thanks for amazing contribution and guidance about chanters, you clearly know what you're doing. It's a pleasure to have players around who don't base their opinions and assumptions on youtube videos and rumors. Keep up the good work! -
02 Oct 2009 - 06:02I'm glad I love to come look at your character and avatar or I would have totally missed your response, as the great Kandrah posted my wall note on her wall ;P Anyhow, yes, thank you! I just have been struggling with the fact that it seems like every class is playing the exact same way with their stones and I like to be "able" to be different and yet effective. -
30 Sep 2009 - 05:51Correct, I did a full accuracy test and saw an increase in my ranged stun landing and also slightly higher damage on higher level targets. However you will have to slot a lot of accuracy but I noticed a real pay off against rangers. The problem here lies against tank classes who have insane phys defense shield which are almost impossible to break even full accuracy slotted. You will in terms lose mitigation yourself as well and feel more vulnurable with less parry mitigation or knockdowns. It's always a double edged sword. -
30 Sep 2009 - 05:34Good morning Kandrah!!! Ok, so I had this thought, and I know it's not RECOMMENDED, I just want to know if my thought process is correct... Evade, Block, and Parry, all of the defensive stats, while in PvP (or PvE as well, but that doesn't matter in concerns to this point) are checked against your oppenent's Accuracy and if their Accuracy is lower than your X defensive stat, then you can X them right? I suppose this is at some specific percentage. So would it also mean that if your opponent chose to stack Accuracy, that they could theoretically have enough to never ever be blocked, parried, or evaded (with the exception of the scout special skill), therefore taking their opponent's defense out of the equation? -
28 Sep 2009 - 07:19Well it turned out to be a really great guide. While I have you here, I was wondering something...right now (at 22), I have been slotting full crit in my staff and been alternating 1 parry and 1 crit stone per piece of gear. Would you recommend this, or should I go straight crit until I hit 400? -
28 Sep 2009 - 07:09Kandrah, in addition to my earlier statement about really loving your signature, I just finished your novella on Chanters and it was awesome. Thank you for writing that. With this game being so grind oriented, it's quite frustrating to know that things are going to be frustrating for 10 loooong levels of the game, but glad that I know now, instead of getting surprised when I got there. It's also nice to have hope for the future. -
16 Sep 2009 - 17:33Thanks for all the information you gave me about chanters =) I'm so ready to get another one goin on live =P -
09 Sep 2009 - 14:59hey i have a question about chanters...with my chanter I want to be okay dps and beable to heal decently as well if need in grps...and keep myself alive in pvp...what stigmas would u suggest i am have a hard time figuring it out...and what would i socket? im all lost in that coz crit and attk looks nice but so does parry -

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recognizes that Ohio's small businesses are essential to growing the state's economy.
In support, the Attorney General's office provides a free complaint dispute resolution process for small businesses and nonprofits. This effort has helped save small businesses thousands of dollars.
In mid-July, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Stephen K. Haller announced the indictment of three individuals for engaging in a tree-trimming theft operation that targeted elderly victims in Greene, Butler, Franklin, and Montgomery Counties.
The indictments were the latest development in a statewide effort to increase the number of consumer protection cases prosecuted criminally.
Grandparents across the state are continuing to lose money to scam artists posing as grandchildren.
Since January, the Attorney General's Office has received dozens of reports of grandparent scams from consumers across the state. In some cases, victims lose $10,000 or more.
"Online webcam notarization" is invalid in Ohio, but at least one company is claiming to provide a web-based notary service to consumers throughout the U.S.
Under Ohio law, if you need to get a document notarized to verify your signature on the document, you must be physically present with the notary public at the time you sign the document.

Is it just me or does Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 in C minor sound a lot like the 70's song "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen? (not Cartman..) Well... maybe that should be the other way around! Does Eric Carmen's song sound like Concerto No. 2... Perhaps he got his influence from Rachmaninoff?
Just a though...

Introduction |
In the autumn of 1706 Handel travelled to Italy. By then he had three years of valuable experience with the Hamburg Opera to his credit, and he went to Italy with the encouragement of the Prince of Tuscany. According to John Mainwarings Memoirs of the Life of the late George Frederic Handel (the first biography of the composer), Handel had been assured by the prince that there was no country in which a young proficient could spend his time to so much advantage, or in which every branch of his profession was cultivated with so much care. And so it proved. In Italy, Handels style matured, and matured quickly. By the time he composed Dixit Dominus in April 1707, all of the essential elements of a fluent musical technique were in place and he had cast off the occasional clumsiness which is apparent in his Hamburg opera Almira. He remained in Italy until early 1710. During his three-and-a-half years there he moved around as opportunities presented themselves. He composed two operas: Rodrigo was produced in Florence, Agrippina in Venice. His extended cantata Aci, Galatea e Polifemo was composed for ducal wedding celebrations in Naples.
The details of Handels itinerary pose problems that have teased scholars for a century, and some matters are still uncertain. However, it is clear that in addition to the places already named, Rome was an important base for Handel, and one to which he returned several times. Although there were no opportunities for opera in Rome, other musical activities flourished there and it was an important cultural centre for those with musical or literary interests. Musicians gathered in the city under the encouragement of a group of cultivated patrons and found congenial, artistically rewarding employment. Corelli, the famous violinist whose music was the classic model for the Italian instrumental style, was established there: he led the orchestra for the first performance of Handels oratorios Il Trionfo del Tempo and La Resurrezione. Corellis trio sonatas published as Op 2 and Op 4 bore dedications to the Cardinals Panfili and Ottoboni, names familiar from Mainwarings Memoirs as two of Handels Rome patrons. As it happens, the Memoirs do not mention the name of the man who was probably Handels most significant Roman patron, though perhaps rather inferior in fame and status to the cardinals, the Marquis (later, Prince) Ruspoli. The extent of Ruspolis patronage only became clear in 1967 when Ursula Kirkendales transcripts of documents from the Fondo Ruspoli in the Archivio Segreto Vaticano were published. In addition to the extensive material concerning the first performance of La Resurrezione, these documents include copyists bills for nearly fifty of Handels Italian cantatas and three of his Latin motets, and details of occasional payments which identify the performers in the cantatas and motets. Ruspoli employed Handel for three extended periods during 1707/8. It was apparently the composers task to provide a new (secular) cantata each week for the Sunday conversazione, and other cantatas for special occasions as required. In addition to his palace in Rome, Ruspoli had country estates at Vignanello and Cerveteri, and Handel presumably followed him round the circuit of his residences. Most of the cantatas are for solo voice accompanied by basso continuo (harpsichord, presumably played by Handel himself, and cello), but on some occasions Handel had two singers available or was allowed to splash out a little with cantatas con stromenti. Aminta e Fillide is one of these more ambitious cantatas. There is no copying bill for the music of the cantata in the Fondo Ruspoli, but the date of its performance is established by a payment to two additional violinists for Saturday 14 July 1708. The performance was a special occasion, not part of one of Ruspolis regular conversazioni but a contribution to celebrations of the Arcadian Academy. The Arcadian Academy originated from the activities of a group of men of letters who had gathered in Rome under the patronage of Queen Christina of Sweden. Christina, a convert to Roman Catholicism, fled to Rome after abdicating her throne and established herself there as a generous supporter of the arts. She was CoreIlis principal Roman patron in the year immediately preceding his engagement by Panfili and is reputed to have engaged an orchestra of 150 under his leadership for the performance of an opera by Pasquini. She died in 1689 and in the following year the Arcadian Academy was founded in her honour by members of her former artistic circle. The original objects of the Academy centred around literary reform, particularly with regard to the pastoral style, which they hoped to reform from the extravagances (as they saw them) of its seventeenth-century Italian manifestations to a simpler mode based on Aristotles rules on tragic poetry. All members of the Aracadian Academy assumed pastoral names, and the reed-pipes of Pan became the Academys symbol. The baby Jesus was chosen as the Academys protector, on the grounds that simple shepherds of Bethlehem had been the first to receive news of the Saviours birth. Naturally, the members of the Academy varied in their emphasis on literary reform and did not always share the same interpretation of the Arcadian ideal, but as the Academy developed it provided an important forum for the discussion of literary topics and its programmes gave opportunities for the performance of new pastoral works, poetic, dramatic and musical. According to Giovanni Maria Crescimbeni, who published a history of the Academys progress in 1712. the Arcadians gained 1300 members in their first twenty years and had 114 colonies outside Rome. Inevitably, however, the true home of the Arcadian movement remained in the place of its foundation. In September 1707 Ruspoli succeeded Prince Giustiniani as host of the Roman Arcadian Academy. The meetings of the Arcadians were held in the warmer months so that the shepherds of the Academy could convene out-of-doors without interruption from some of natures less idyllic activities. Aminta e Fillide was almost certainly composed for, and performed at, the first general meeting of the Arcadians in 1708. The venue was Ruspolis garden south of San Matteo in Merulana; the performers were provided by Ruspoli. Since only two additional violinists were paid, the remaining musicians must have been in Ruspolis regular employment. The solo parts were probably sung by the sopranos Durastante and Mariticcia, and the orchestral parts were performed by perhaps as many as five violinists (one doubling viola where necessary), a single cellist (possibly in company with a bass viol) and Handel at the harpsichord. Ruspoli showed the same discrimination in his employment of performers as he did in his choice of resident composers, and we may be sure that the ensemble did full justice to Handels new cantata. Interestingly, the performance may have included four musicians with whom Handel worked some years later in the London opera houseDurastante, the violinists Domenico and Pietro Castrucci, and the cellist Amadei. The characteristic material of pastoral drama has been summed up as shepherds and shepherdesses engaged in amorous pursuits against an idyllic pastoral backdrop. Aminta e Fillide falls happily within this description. For the physical backdrop we have to imagine the Arcadians ideal bosco (wood): no doubt Ruspolis garden served well enough for this. The line of argument by which Amyntas wins his suit is rather esoteric, but we are dealing in the conventions of an ideal world where constancy and fidelity eventually melt the cruel heart of the lady. After the initial excitement of the furioso section of the overture (which presumably represents Amyntas pursuit of the fleeing nymph), the pace of the drama is leisurely, unfolding through eleven full da capo movements. The affects of the individual moments in the drama are well characterised musically, and so the arias themselves have considerable variety. Handel also skilfully varies the texture of the orchestral accompaniment from aria to aria, ranging from a continuo-accompanied aria at the simplest to a four-part string arrangement with internal solo/tutti contrasts at the most complex. The high proportion of compound time arias (five out of eleven, plus considerable triplet movement in Fu scherzo) reflects perhaps a characteristic and appropriate musical reaction to the pastoral style. Handel has a firm control over the longer-term aspects of key structure. A tonic area of G minor/B flat major surrounds the more distant keys of Se vago rio and Sento che, the turning-points in the drama. In Forse un giorno and Fu scherzo Amintas part is in G minor, Fillides in B flat major: by AI dispetto and Vincesti, Aminta their key-centres and modes have been reversed. As to the quality of individual movements, Handel gave his own implicit testimony when he quarried the cantata for his subsequent operas. Some music went into Agrippina; the first movement of the overture was transferred to fulfil the same role in Rinaldo, Handels first London opera, and Se vago rio became the mermaids song Il vostro maggio in Act 2 of the same work. As already noted, no payment to a music copyist for Aminta e Fillide is recorded in the Fondo Ruspoli. Nevertheless, a score of the cantata copied mainly by Angelini, Handels principal Roman copyist, survives in company with other ex-Ruspoli music in the Santini Collection at Münster. This score helps to interpret Handels surviving autograph of the cantata and supplements it in one important respect. All the music from the beginning of the aria Chi ben ama to the beginning of the final duet was a last-minute addition. If we only had Handels autographs as evidence we would probably assume, as Friedrich Chrysander did a century ago when he published Handels cantatas for the first time, that Chi ben ama was an independent work. The Münster score shows where the music fits within Aminta e Fillide. Furthermore, it reveals that Handel changed his mind on one important matter even after he had completed his autograph of the additional music. The aria Non si può, composed in G major in Handels autograph, appears in B flat in the Münster score, with the preceding recitative recomposed to accommodate the change. The newly-worked recitative is in Handels own hand, so there is no doubt about the authenticity of the final arrangement. The present recording has been made according to Handels intentions as shown in the Münster score. Having restored the cantata to its most complete form, it is now difficult to imagine it without the lines which might serve as its motto: O felice in amor dolce tormento, Donald Burrows © 1984 |

An interactive world map of human genetic history reveals likely genetic impacts of historical events
When individuals from different groups interbreed, their offspring's DNA becomes a mixture of the DNA from each admixing group. Pieces of this DNA are then passed along through subsequent generations, carrying on all the way to the present day. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, Oxford University and University College London (UCL) have now produced a global map detailing the genetic histories of 95 different populations across the world, spanning the last four millennia.
Several thousand chimpanzees inhabit a remote forest area in the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo
With great ape populations in fast decline, it is crucial to obtain a global picture of their distribution and abundance, in order to channel and direct conservation activities to where they are most needed. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands conducted hundreds of kilometers of chimpanzee surveys at multiple sites in the Central Uele region of northern Democratic Republic of the Congo and discovered a large, continuous population of Eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii). The population in the remote Bili-Gangu forest was surveyed in 2005 with line transects and again in 2012, and appears to have remained stable. The total area surveyed, which encompasses about 50,000 square kilometers, is home to several thousands of chimpanzees and, according to the researchers, should be considered a priority site for conservation of the eastern subspecies.
Chimpanzees keep track of other group members' bonding partners and use this knowledge in conflict situations
To know who your opponents' family and friends are can be of advantage in a conflict situation. Humans make predictions about other people's social relationships frequently. Whether other animals also have the cognitive skills to track their group mates' social relationships across time and beyond close kin has so far not been known. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have now conducted playback experiments with wild-living chimpanzees from Budongo Forest in Uganda. Two hours after a subject attacked or had been attacked by an opponent, the researchers broadcast the recording of a third individual's aggressive barks from a speaker near the subject. If the call provider was their opponent's close buddy or kin, subjects looked longer and moved away more often from barks than if the call provider was not a bond partner. This shows that chimpanzees know who their group mates' kin or non-kin bond partners are and that their behavior may have an impact on them.
Chimpanzees who share their food with others have higher levels of the hormone oxytocin in their urine
The ability to form long-term cooperative relationships between unrelated individuals is one of the main reasons for human's extraordinary biological success, yet little is known about its evolution and mechanisms. The hormone oxytocin, however, plays a role in it. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, measured the urinary oxytocin levels in wild chimpanzees after food sharing and found them to be elevated in both donor and receiver compared to social feeding events without sharing. Furthermore, oxytocin levels were higher after food sharing than after grooming, another cooperative behaviour, suggesting that food sharing might play a more important role in promoting social bonding. By using the same neurobiological mechanisms, which evolved within the context of building and strengthening the mother-offspring bond during lactation, food sharing might even act as a trigger for cooperative relationships in related and unrelated adult chimpanzees.

New Delhi, 23 Mar 09
A world that urbanizes cannot claim to be harmonious if some groups concentrate resources and opportunities while others remain impoverished and marginalized, India's Secretary for Urban Development, Mr. M. Ramachandran has said.
Speaking at a seminar on Harmonious and Sustainable Cities organized by India's Association of Municipalities and Development Authorities in partnership with UN-HABITAT, Mr. Ramachandran said urbanization did not necessarily mean unrestrained economic growth that generates poverty and exclusion.
"Harmonious and Sustainable Cities [is a theme which] reminds all of us that urbanization cannot be done at the expense of the natural environment. Cities have tremendous potential to combine safe and healthy living conditions and culturally rich and diverse lifestyles with remarkably low levels of energy consumption, resource use and waste," he said.
However, to realize this potential there was need to promote more balanced urban development by trying to harmonize the various interests, diversity and inherent contradictions within cities, he added.
Mr. Ramachandran said that even though India had the second largest urban system in the world, with 310 million people and 5,161 cities and towns, the urbanization was characterized by widespread poverty, poor urban infrastructure, and environmental degradation.
Less than 60 percent of the households in India's cities have sanitation facilities, and less than half have tap water on their premises. About 40 million people are also estimated to live in slums.
"Is it possible to talk about a well balanced system of cities in which regional planning plays a key role for more harmonious national development? Is it possible to articulate urban planning practices with new regional approaches to planning? How can local decision-makers work together with national authorities in search of more harmonious urban development?" he posed.
He asked participants at the seminar to seek harmony within cities and between the built and natural environment.
The minister said the share of the urban population in India is expected to reach 40% by 2021, and by 2011, urban areas could contribute around 65% of GDP. Given current trends in population growth and migration, India's urban population is estimated to reach 575 million by 2030.
He added that the Government of India had delegated power to rural and urban local government bodies and offered strategic support to the urban centers, through the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission launched in 2005. Through this programme, the Government of India decided to support 63 major urban centers across the country.
The main goals of the programme are improving and expanding the economic and social infrastructure of cities; ensuring access to basic services at affordable prices on the part of the urban poor, including security of tenure in land and housing; initiating wide-ranging urban sector reforms; and strengthening municipal governments and their functions.
The chairman of the Association of Municipalities and Development Authorities, Mr. Noor Mohammad said managing rapid urbanization in India would be a major challenge for the next few decades, with far reaching ramifications on sustaining high economic growth rates, reducing urban poverty, improving the quality of life of urban citizens, and improving the environment and reducing carbon emissions.
"The scale of challenges in developing efficient and sustainable cities in India is multidisciplinary and complex. The chances of success are much higher when synergic partnerships are evolved to deal with these challenges," Mr. Mohammad said.
