About the artist
Though he can sing honky tonk, Gene Watson built a reputation for soulful ballads in the classic country tradition. Born one of seven children in Palestine, Texas, Watson married early and was working as an auto-body man when he began frequenting the clubs in Houston. He recorded for a few small-time regional labels like Wide World and Stoneway during the early '70s. Watson finally had ... more

potato seriously undercooked
Very disappointing the potato chunks were really hard and undercooked. I'l try the Ocado version next time.
26 October 2012
potatoes not hard...
nearly didn't order this as had read the previous reviews - but went ahead as it was part of the meal deal bundle. glad we did. sauce was chunky and flavoursome. potatoes were pleasant - not too hard - can only presume that either the recipe has been improved / or we were lucky to get a good batch / or that we cooked them long enough to avoid that particular issue? would recommend and we will be ordering again in future
22 October 2012
Small Potatoes in a runny Sauce. Probably one of the worst I have tried.

Summary: A brief look at series and parallel circuits. Also defines voltage and current divider.
The results shown in other modules (circuit elements, KVL and KCL, interconnection laws) with regard to this circuit, and the values of other currents and voltages in this circuit as well, have profound implications.
Resistors connected in such a way that current from one must flow only into another—currents in all resistors connected this way have the same magnitude—are said to be connected in series. For the two series-connected resistors in the example, the voltage across one resistor equals the ratio of that resistor's value and the sum of resistances times the voltage across the series combination. This concept is so pervasive it has a name: voltage divider.
The input-output relationship for this system,
found in this particular case by voltage divider, takes the form
of a ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage.
The current
Thus, the circuit the voltage source "feels" (through the
current drawn from it) is a single resistor having resistance
One interesting simple circuit
(Figure 3)
has two resistors connected side-by-side, what we will term a
parallel connection, rather than in series.
Here, applying KVL reveals that all the voltages are identical:
Suppose that you replaced the current source in
Figure 3
by a voltage source. How would
Replacing the current source by a voltage source does not
change the fact that the voltages are
identical. Consequently,
This circuit highlights some important properties of parallel
circuits. You can easily show that the parallel combination of
Similar to voltage
divider for series resistances, we have current
divider for parallel resistances. The current through a
resistor in parallel with another is the ratio of the
conductance of the first to the sum of the conductances. Thus,
for the depicted circuit,
Suppose we want to pass the output signal into a voltage
measurement device, such as an oscilloscope or a voltmeter. In
system-theory terms, we want to pass our circuit's output to a
sink. For most applications, we can represent these measurement
devices as a resistor, with the current passing through it
driving the measurement device through some type of display.
In circuits, a sink is called a load; thus, we
describe a system-theoretic sink as a load resistance
We must analyze afresh how this revised circuit, shown in
Figure 6,
works. Rather than defining eight variables and solving for the
current in the load resistor, let's take a hint from
other analysis
(series rules,
parallel rules).
Thus, we have the input-output relationship for our entire
system having the form of voltage divider, but it does
not equal the input-output relation of the
circuit without the voltage measurement device. We can not
measure voltages reliably unless the measurement device has
little effect on what we are trying to measure. We should look
more carefully to determine if any values for the load
resistance would lessen its impact on the circuit. Comparing the
input-output relations before and after, what we need is
Let's be more precise: How much larger would a load resistance need to be to affect the input-output relation by less than 10%? by less than 1%?
We want to find the total resistance of the example
circuit. To apply the series and parallel combination rules,
it is best to first determine the circuit's structure: What is
in series with what and what is in parallel with what at both
small- and large-scale views. We have
Another valuable lesson emerges from this example concerning the
difference between cascading systems and cascading circuits. In
system theory, systems can be cascaded without changing the
input-output relation of intermediate systems. In cascading
circuits, this ideal is rarely true unless
the circuits are so
designed. Design is in the hands of the
engineer; he or she must recognize what have come to be known as
loading effects. In our simple circuit, you might think that
making the resistance
Figure 8 summarizes the series and parallel combination results. These results are easy to remember and very useful. Keep in mind that for series combinations, voltage and resistance are the key quantities, while for parallel combinations current and conductance are more important. In series combinations, the currents through each element are the same; in parallel ones, the voltages are the same.
series and parallel combination rules | ||||||
Contrast a series combination of resistors with a parallel one. Which variable (voltage or current) is the same for each and which differs? What are the equivalent resistances? When resistors are placed in series, is the equivalent resistance bigger, in between, or smaller than the component resistances? What is this relationship for a parallel combination?
In a series combination of resistors, the current is the same in each; in a parallel combination, the voltage is the same. For a series combination, the equivalent resistance is the sum of the resistances, which will be larger than any component resistor's value; for a parallel combination, the equivalent conductance is the sum of the component conductances, which is larger than any component conductance. The equivalent resistance is therefore smaller than any component resistance.

Package(s) |
The Intel 4004 ("four-thousand-four") is a 4-bit central processing unit (CPU) released by Intel Corporation in 1971. The design was completed in January 1971 by Intel and made commercially available in March 1971 to Busicom Corp. for which it was originally designed and built as a custom chip. In mid-November of the same year, with the prophetic ad "Announcing a new era in integrated electronics", the 4004 was made commercially available to the general market. The 4004 was history's first monolithic CPU fully integrated in one chip, i.e. the first microprocessor. Such a feat of integration was made possible by the use of then-new silicon gate technology allowing a higher number of transistors and a faster speed than was possible before. The 4004 microprocessor was one of 4 chips constituting the MCS-4 chip-set, which included the 4001 ROM, 4002 RAM, and 4003 Shift Register. With these components, microcomputers with varying amounts of memory and I/O facilities could be built. Two other CPU chip designs were done in 1970 and 1971 respectively: the MP944, used in the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, which used five chips for the implementation of the CPU function, and the Texas Instruments TMS 1000 chip, a limited-performance microcontroller, which was first used in a Texas Instrument portable calculator in September 1971. A much-improved variant of the TMS1000 was made commercially available for the first time in 1974. The TMS1000 is considered the first single-chip microcontroller, i.e., a computer on a chip containing not only the CPU, but also ROM, RAM, and I/O functions.
History and production[edit]
The first public mention of 4004 was an advertisement in the November 15, 1971 edition of Electronic News,[2] though unconfirmed reports put the date of first delivery as early as March 1971. Packaged in a 16-pin ceramic dual in-line package, the 4004 was the first commercially available computer processor designed and manufactured by chip maker Intel, which had previously made semiconductor memory chips. The chief designers of the chip were Federico Faggin and Ted Hoff of Intel, and Masatoshi Shima of Busicom.
Faggin, the sole chip designer among the engineers on the MCS-4 project, was the only one with experience in MOS random logic and circuit design. He also had the crucial knowledge of the new silicon gate process technology with self-aligned gates, which he had created at Fairchild in 1968. At Fairchild in 1968, Faggin also designed and manufactured the world's first commercial IC using SGT, the Fairchild 3708.[3] As soon as he joined the Intel MOS Department he created a new random logic design methodology based on silicon gate, and contributed many technology and circuit design inventions that enabled their single chip microprocessor to become a reality. His methodology set the design style for all the early Intel microprocessors and later for the Zilog Z80. He also led the MCS-4 project and was responsible for its successful outcome (1970–1971). Marcian "Ted" Hoff, head of the Application Research Department, contributed the architectural proposal for Busicom working with Stanley Mazor in 1969, then he moved on to other projects. When asked where he got the ideas for the architecture of the first microprocessor, Hoff related that Plessey, "a British tractor company", had donated a minicomputer to Stanford, and he had "played with it some" while he was there. Shima designed the Busicom calculator firmware and assisted Faggin during the first six months of the implementation. The manager of Intel's MOS Design Department was Leslie L. Vadász.[4] At the time of the MCS-4 development, Vadasz's attention was completely focused on the mainstream business of semiconductor memories and he left the leadership and the management of the MCS-4 project to Faggin.
Busicom had designed their own special-purpose LSI chipset for use in their Busicom 141-PF calculator with integrated printer, following the architectural model of the Olivetti Programma 101, the world's first tabletop programmable calculator, introduced in 1965, and commissioned Intel to develop it for production. However, Intel determined it was too complex, since serial memories required more components, and would use 40 pins, a packaging standard different from Intel's own 16-pin standard and so it was proposed that a new design produced with standard 16-pin DIP packaging and reduced instruction set be developed.,[5] using Intel's newly developed dynamic RAM memory. This resulted in the 4004 architecture, which was part of a family of chips, including ROM, DRAM, and serial-to-parallel shift register chips. The 4004 was subsequently designed using silicon gate technology and built of approximately 2,300 transistors[6] and was followed the next year by the first ever 8-bit microprocessor, the 3,500 transistor 8008 (and the 4040, a revised and improved 4004). It was not until the development of the 40-pin 8080 in 1974 that the address and data buses would be separated, giving faster and simpler access to memory.
The 4004 employed a 10 µm process silicon-gate enhancement load pMOS technology and could execute approximately 92,000 instructions per second; a single instruction cycle was 10.8 microseconds.[7] The original clock speed design goal was 1 MHz, the same as the IBM 1620 Model I.[citation needed]
The Intel 4004 was designed by physically cutting sheets of Rubylith into thin strips to lay out the circuits to be printed, a process made obsolete by current computer graphic design capabilities.[8]
Name and variants[edit]
When Faggin designed the MCS-4 family, he also christened the chips with distinct names: 4001, 4002, 4003, and 4004, breaking away from the numbering scheme used by Intel at that time which would have required the names 1302, 1105, 1507, and 1202 respectively. Had he followed Intel's number sequence, the idea that the chips were part of a family of components intended to work seamlessly together would have been lost.[9] Intel's early numbering scheme for integrated circuits used a four-digit number for each component. The first digit indicated the process technology used, the second digit indicated the generic function, and the last two digits of the number were used to indicate the sequential number in the development of the component. The 8008 microprocessor was originally called 1201, per Intel's naming conventions. Before its market introduction, the 1201 was renamed 8008, following the new naming convention started with the 4001/2/3/4.
Tadashi Sasaki attributes the basic invention to break the calculator into four parts with ROM (4001), RAM (4002), shift registers (4003) and CPU (4004) to an unnamed woman from the Nara Women's College present at a brainstorming meeting that was held in Japan prior to his first meeting with Robert Noyce from Intel, leading up to the Busicom deal.[10]
The 4004 was part of the MCS-4 family of LSI chips that could be used to build digital computers with varying amounts of memory. The other members of the MCS-4 family were memories and input/output circuits, which are necessary to implement a complete computer. The 4001 was a ROM (read-only memory) with four lines of output; the 4002 was a RAM (random access memory) with four lines of input/output. The 4003 was a static shift register to be used for expanding the I/O lines, for example, for keyboard scanning or for controlling a printer.
The 4004 included control functions for memory and I/O, which are not normally handled by the microprocessor.
Technical specifications[edit]
Intel 4004 registers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Maximum clock speed was 740 kHz
- Instruction cycle time: 10.8 µs[11] (8 clock cycles / instruction cycle)
- Instruction execution time 1 or 2 instruction cycles (10.8 or 21.6 µs), 46300 to 92600 instructions per second
- Separate program and data storage. Contrary to Harvard architecture designs, however, which use separate buses, the 4004, with its need to keep pin count down, used a single multiplexed 4-bit bus for transferring:
- 12-bit addresses
- 8-bit instructions
- 4-bit data words
- Instruction set contained 46 instructions (of which 41 were 8 bits wide and 5 were 16 bits wide)
- Register set contained 16 registers of 4 bits each
- Internal subroutine stack, 3 levels deep.
Support chips[edit]
- 4001: 256-byte ROM (256 8-bit program instructions), and one built-in 4-bit I/O port. A 4001 ROM+I/O chip cannot be used in a system along with a 4008/4009 pair.[citation needed]
- 4002: 40-byte RAM (80 4-bit data words), and one built-in 4-bit output port; the RAM portion of the chip is organized into four "registers" of 20 4-bit words:
- 4003: 10-bit parallel output shift register for scanning keyboards, displays, printers, etc.
- 4008: 8-bit address latch for access to standard memory chips, and one built-in 4-bit chip select and I/O port
- 4009: program and I/O access converter to standard memory and I/O chips
- 4269: keyboard/display interface
- 4289: memory interface (combined functions of 4008 and 4009)
Numerous versions of the Intel MCS-4 line of processors were produced. The earliest versions were ceramic and used a Zebra pattern of white and gray on the back of the chips. The next generation of the chip was plain white ceramic. Current versions of MCS-4 family are produced with plastic. Collectors of these chips have peaked in recent years due to the significance that is associated with this achievement.
The first commercial product to use a microprocessor was the Busicom calculator 141-PF.
According to Nick Tredennick, a microprocessor designer and expert witness to the Boone/Hyatt patent case[clarification needed]:
Here are my opinions from [the] study [I conducted for the patent case]. The first microprocessor in a commercial product was the Four Phase Systems AL1. The first commercially available (sold as a component) microprocessor was the 4004 from Intel.
— [12]
A popular myth has it that Pioneer 10, the first spacecraft to leave the solar system, used an Intel 4004 microprocessor. According to Dr. Larry Lasher of Ames Research Center, the Pioneer team did evaluate the 4004, but decided it was too new at the time to include in any of the Pioneer projects.[citation needed] The myth was repeated by Federico Faggin himself in a lecture for the Computer History Museum in 2006.[13]
Legacy and value[edit]
On November 15, 2006, the 35th anniversary of the 4004, Intel celebrated by releasing the chip's schematics, mask works, and user manual.[14]
On October 15, 2010, Faggin, Hoff, and Mazor were awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation by President Barack Obama for their pioneering work on the 4004.[15]

Historical documents[edit]
- Faggin F., Capocaccia F. "A New Integrated MOS Shift Register", Proceedings XV International Electronics Scientific Congress, Rome, April 1968, pp. 143–152. This paper describes a novel static MOS shift register, developed at SGS-Fairchild (now ST Micro) at the end of 1967, before Federico Faggin joined Fairchild's R&D in Palo Alto (Ca) in February 1968. Faggin later used this new shift register in the MCS-4 chips, including the 4004.

The Silicon Gate Technology (SGT) was first presented by its developer, Federico Faggin, at the IEDM on October 23, 1968 in Washington, D.C. It was the only commercial process technology for the fabrication of MOS integrated circuits with self-aligned gate that was later universally adopted by the semiconductor industry. The SGT was the first technology to produce commercial dynamic RAMs, CCD image sensors, non volatile memories and the microprocessor, providing for the first time all the fundamental elements of a general purpose computer with LSI integrated circuits.

- Initials F.F. (Federico Faggin) on the 4004 design (1971). The 4004 bears the initials F.F. of its designer, Federico Faggin, etched on one corner of the chip. Signing the chip was a spontaneous gesture of proud authorship and was also an original idea imitated after him by many Intel designers.
- Busicom 141-PF Printing Calculator Engineering Prototype (1971). (Gift of Federico Faggin to the Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA). The CHM collection catalog shows pictures of the engineering prototype of the Busicom 141-PF desktop calculator. The engineering prototype used the world's first microprocessor to have ever been produced. This one-of-a-kind prototype was a personal present by Busicom's president Mr. Yoshio Kojima to Federico Faggin for his successful leadership of the design and development of the 4004 and three other memory and I/O chips (the MCS-4 chipset). After keeping it in his home for 25 years, Faggin donated it to the CHM in 1996.

Monitoring and Evaluating the Primary Healthcare Revitalization, Integration and Decentralization in Earthquake-affected Areas (PRIDE) Program
In Pakistan, the Council is providing support to the overall monitoring and evaluation functions of the PRIDE program.
The Primary Healthcare Revitalization, Integration and Decentralization in Earthquake-affected areas (PRIDE) program is designed to improve primary healthcare services and health outcomes for populations in Bagh and Mansehra districts in northern Pakistan that were affected by the devastating earthquake that struck the region on 8 October 2005.
Over a four-year period beginning in August 2006, the USAID-funded PRIDE program will strengthen the financial and human resource management capacities of district health authorities and primary health providers. PRIDE also will improve access to and the quality of primary healthcare services through an essential package of health services and improved skills of primary health care personnel. Community demand for high-quality services will be increased through an innovative social mobilization process aimed at increasing knowledge and care-seeking behaviors.
PRIDE is implemented by a consortium of international partners working with local organizations. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is the recipient agency responsible for overall management of the program. Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is primarily responsible for building the capacity of healthcare managers to efficiently administer financial and human resources. JHPIEGO, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University, will work toward defining the package of primary healthcare services and providing the necessary training to ensure the quality of services. IRC will work with local NGOs and communities to mobilize increased demand for high-quality services. The Population Council is providing support to the overall monitoring and evaluation functions within the project.
PRIDE targets over 1.5 million earthquake-affected people in Bagh and Mansehra districts of northern Pakistan. The program draws on existing relationships in Pakistan at multiple levels by engaging with community members, community leaders, NGOs, CBOs, government officials, health providers, and policymakers. At the district and province level, PRIDE builds and institutes local capacity. At the primary health care facility and provider level, PRIDE ensures accessible and essential primary healthcare services. At the community level, PRIDE empowers communities to actively plan, access, and monitor health services. And at the household level, PRIDE promotes healthy behaviors and improved health outcomes.
Working through clearly defined management and reporting structures, PRIDE members and partners will draw on their experience with health systems management, decentralization, health service delivery, training, quality assurance, and community mobilization to achieve sustainable results.

When Michele Serro, an opera singer with a background in design, had a lackluster experience purchasing her first apartment in New York five years ago, her life mission became clear: Make home-buying human.
"I didn't feel like there were a lot of resources for first-time home buyers," Serro said. So she entrenched herself in all things real estate, and harnessed her design skills to create a clean, well-organized online portal that serves up information in the form of digestible articles, easy-to-follow lists, and fascinating infographics.
Whether it's explaining common mortgage types, offering money-saving tips, or guiding visitors with an all-encompassing home-buying checklist, Doorsteps.com gives users free, step-by-step educational tools that are actually fun to read.
But what really sets Doorsteps apart from other real estate Web sites is that it makes the real estate agent the consumer's guide.
Doorsteps works like this: The real estate pro signs up and invites an unlimited number of buyers to register at the site. It's $25/month for the agent and free for the client. As the site walks its users through the home-buying process, member agents can see the same information their clients see and interact with them, answering their questions at each step along the way. It's perfect for those people you meet who are interested in buying someday but aren't quite prepared to start looking at houses.
"We designed this as an agent tool from the buyer's point of view," Serro explained. "Our plan is to create the best possible experience for buyers, answer all of their questions, and make dynamic content that also benefits agents." Continue reading »

- The "all about you" Sale March 4, 2014
A year ago today, we were contemplating the seemingly inevitable demise of our co-op. Our increased rent, the emergence of predatory online sex shops, and our own disunity and disillusionment had gotten the better of us. We were heading into a crash course with our own future.
They say that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but we've never put a lot of stock in what 'they' say - if we had, we certainly wouldn't run a co-operative sex shop! If we listened to what 'they' said, we would have a shop full of 'dickie straws' and 'boobie keychains' - or we'd all be cisgendered accountants or whatever it is they told us to be. Last year, 'they' told us that we should give up, give in, or at least not let you all know just how hard we were struggling. They were so wrong.

- Love, Marriage, And Other Bad Ideas February 6, 2014
Richie Calhoun plays a cynical and unloved marriage counselor, who starts to tell his clients exactly what he thinks in the most bitter terms. This backfires and actually inspires these couples to forgive each other, move on and rekindle the flames in very explicit terms. Of course, it doesn't take long for the despondent counselor himself to meet someone who makes him question his hard-held negative feelings on love. A dark comedy, with some great dialogue, good acting and top notch sex scenes that are well-shot and intimate. Best scene: Wolf Hudson and Natasha Nice in a bathtub proving make-up sex is worth the fighting. Sexy romance at its best! | Read more about Love, Marriage, And Other Bad Ideas

- Be Our Affiliate! Or don't? January 9, 2014
It may be a little-known fact, but Come As You Are has had an online affiliate program for years, but until recently, our system wasn't very user friendly, and well, we're not sure how we feel about affiliate programs. Mostly we find that online affiliate programs are set up to benefit the sex shop and not the blogger. It's all about free advertising, shady business practices, and generating in-bound links on the backs of people who provide the internet with information and entertainment for free. Heck, we take issue with most marketing practices on and offline, but we realized recently that there weren't any good, sex-positive Canadian sex shops offering an affiliate program, and so very many of you have asked us about setting something up. If you know us at all, you know there's nothing we like more than making all of you happy, so we've officially launched the Come As You Are awesome affiliate program. | Read more about Be Our Affiliate! Or don't?
- The Very Best Sex of 2013 December 31, 2013
We pride ourselves on being pretty darn knowledgeable especially when it comes to sex toys, books, and DVDs, but we've never claimed to know what the best sex product for you is. In fact, as much as we love the plethora of online sex toy reviews, we find ourselves fretting that you might pass over a great sex toy because someone on the internet didn't like it. Similarly, we hope you never buy something because it is a 'best seller' on someone's website. Having said that, there have been some pretty outstanding new contributions to the very curated collection of sex products we carry in-store and online. From the squeeze-tastic, crowd-funded Minna Limon and the truly revolutionary rotating Lelo Ida and Lelo Hula Beads, to the Fun Factory Stronic line of self-thrusting sex toys and New York Toy Collective's Shilo and Mason pack-and-play silicone dildos, this year has treated us to a whole world of new sexual delights! Check out all of our picks for this past year of sex. | Read more about The Very Best Sex of 2013
- Remembering Sexuality and Gender Losses in 2013 December 30, 2013
While mainstream sex culture is busy selling everyone some distorted fantasy of sex as titillation and objectification, there are whole worlds of overlapping and intersecting sex cultures and communities working hard to fight for sexual, gender, and reproductive liberation. While each year reveals glimmers of hope to our activist hearts, it is undeniable that we lose a lot of good people along the way. Every year, our pal Cory Silverberg takes a moment to honour some of the sex positive activists, authors, and educators we've lost. | Read more about Remembering Sexuality and Gender Losses in 2013

1. Large primates, and especially the largest of all, the Gorilla, have always generated inspiration and fascination for the people of all continents
2. Many national and international, governmental and non-governmental organisations, are working to multiply conservation actions and efforts to attempt to remedy this critical situation. These initiatives include anti-poaching campaigns, reforestation efforts, development of eco-tourism, implementation of development projects in the regions bordering the areas protected for gorilla conservation and programmes of rehabilitation. Many of these organisations, and the governments involved are now part of GRASP, a partnership between governments, international institutions (notably UNEP and UNESCO), NGOs and the private sector whose objective is great ape conservation.
3. CMS and GRASP had agreed that the main CMS contribution would be to facilitate the negotiation and application of a CMS Agreement and Action Plan to support gorilla conservation.
4. For gorillas, CMS has established the legal structure necessary to make all the initiatives durable and to integrate conservation actions. For more than 20 years, the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) has been developing and implementing regional agreements under the terms of Article IV of the Convention. These agreements are one of the main conservation tools of the Convention. The CMS Conference of Parties sought to develop an Agreement under the terms of Article IV between the 10 States covered by the distribution range of the gorilla: Angola, Cameroon, Republic of Central Africa, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Uganda and Rwanda, for the conservation of gorillas and of their habitats. All the Gorilla taxa were listed in Appendix I at the last CMS Conference of the Parties, so as to make possible the development of this new Agreement.
5. Through 2007 the UNEP/CMS Secretariat worked with the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences, in partnership with the UNEP/UNESCO GRASP Secretariat, and in consultation with the gorilla Range States and the other partners of GRASP, to prepare, draft and negotiate this Agreement, and initiate its implementation via a regional, transborder Action Plan. The Range States, CMS and its partners have managed to develop and negotiate this Agreement, the final text of which was concluded in Paris in October 2007. It provides the gorilla range states, as well as the other governments and organisations involved, with a legal framework that will reinforce and integrate conservation efforts.
6. The draft Action Plan to be offered to range states will be centred on the conservation of gorilla populations and their habitats, on the reinforcement of national capacities, on transborder aspects and on taking into account the socio-economic needs of the populations whose needs are linked to the resources of the forest habitats of the gorillas.
7. The Plan will be achieved through:
• The integration of the conservation of gorilla populations in the policies of the 10 Range States; • The reinforcement of regional, national and international awareness of the common heritage value of great apes, in particular, gorillas; • The reinforcement of transborder collaboration, especially within protected areas; • The reinforcement of the special protected areas network; • The reinforcement of inter-state and inter-organisational cooperation by the establishment of an efficient decision making system at local, national and international levels; • The establishment of a data collecting and surveillance network, the use and exchange of scientific and technical information on gorilla conservation, and the mutual reinforcement of capacities; • The reinforcement of illegal trade control measures; • The development of gorilla eco-tourism, particularly in less visited sites; • The involvement of local communities by the establishment of a discussion framework allowing dialogue with local populations to gain their engagement in conservation and community development goals; and • The development of financing and fundraising mechanisms to permit the implementation of the regional transborder Action Plan.
8. We hope that this Agreement, as well as the projects which will result from it, will contribute to promoting the long term survival of gorillas, their forest habitats and dependent human populations. This should in turn make a tangible contribution to the 2010 targets for biodiversity, and allow the States concerned to combine conservation and long lasting economic development.

Shouts & Murmurs - "Tropical Rain Plots a Comeback?" and the other top L.A. news stories in 2013 so far: http://nyr.kr/12PRVSL
Cartoon by Jack Ziegler. For more: http://nyr.kr/XEaPb4
A festival in Syowa Village, where, as a result of depopulation, a majority of residents are elderly.
Two years ago today, Japan was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami that killed over fifteen thousand people and affected hundreds of thousands more. With a magnitude of 9.03, it is believed to be one of the most powerful earthquakes to hit Japan. The disaster also set off one of worst nuclear crises in history: after the earthquake and tsunami, large amounts of radioactive materials were released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, contaminating the city for years to come.
Q. Sakamaki, a Japanese photographer, has been photographing the effects of the earthquake and tsunami since 2011. "The radiation is still leaking. The evacuated worry about their future—many might lose the chance to ever return. As a result, more than sixty per cent of the evacuated develop P.T.S.D., often leading them to commit suicide," he says.

Gary Marcus looks at "What Should We Be Worried About?", a collection of essays by 150 top scientists and writers: "it may sound comforting to say that 'the only thing we need to worry about is worry itself' (as several contributors suggested), but anybody who has lived through Chernobyl or Fukushima knows otherwise… many of the essays are insightful, and bring attention to a wide range of challenges for which society is not yet adequately prepared…" http://nyr.kr/1084vun
Scott Goldsmith: "This is a truck-driving class in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, at a technical school. This woman is on video, saying, 'After I graduate from this class, I will not work for the gas companies after knowing what they do. This was my introduction to horizontal hydraulic fracturing, a.k.a. fracking. After doing extensive research on the subject, I was shocked to find out how horrible it was for our land, water and air. I was saddened by how the gas companies try to hide the damage they are doing not only to the environment but also to the communities they polarize… As fracking increases around the world, an increase in truck driving is one of many ways the extraction of natural gas from shale leads to extensive and growing climate change problem."

I used to hang around Scary Mommy, actually I left the community just after I got pregnant. They were great over there, and I still follow the blog, but there was a member boom and it was getting annoying. I wonder what's happening around the boards nowadays. Also, Mommit and some of the other parenting subreddits are awesome and very supportive.

I'm a member of another parenting forum, and have been for 4-5 years. To be frank, the only reason I sought out a forum like nameberry was because any time I asked for name suggestions on the other forum, I'd get endless suggestions of Makayla, Maddysin, Nevaeh et. al.
I'm a pretty active member though my online privacy is very important to me. For that reason, I don't refer to the girls by name on the other forum, but I do post a lot of pictures. Similarly, there are no pictures of the girls here but I have mentioned their names. I'm conscious of the fact that they may not want to dig up threads about potty training and diaper rash with their full names in them in 10-20 years time so I try to respect that by keeping them somewhat anonymous when talking about them online.]

This morning I made a discovery: Naturalization petitions are now available online for Joseph (Josef) Yurko (Yurkov) and his wife Anna, my step-children's maternal great-grandparents.
Thanks to the petition, I know that Josef was born in Hazlen, Czechoslovakia on May 7, 1873 and he was married to his wife, Ann Mary, in that town on Nov. 18, 1896. Josef and Ann had 7 children. The oldest, John, was born in 1899 in Czechoslovakia. All the others were born in Ohio, including Anna, my step-children's grandmother.
None of us had ever seen a photo of Josef, so this one (from his petition) is a first--leaving me almost wordless!

Exclusive: Clinton presses Rwanda, DRC leaders on border crisis
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed the presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to resolve a conflict over rebels in eastern Congo whose military advances have stoked tensions in one of Africa's most volatile regions.
Clinton sat down with Rwandan President Paul Kagame and Congolese President Joseph Kabila in New York on Monday, delivering a firm message to both that steps must be taken to resolve the crisis, a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday.
Clinton's unadvertised meeting, her first joint session with the two feuding African leaders, was aimed at underscoring U.S. concern about the M23 rebel group, which the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the United States and U.N. experts have all said are receiving support from neighboring Rwanda.
"The secretary sent a signal of our concern over what is happening in the region, and the need for both of these leaders to find a way to defuse tensions," said the U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"It is imperative that they take action," the official said.
Clinton's meeting comes ahead of a U.N. meeting on the crisis set for Thursday, one of a series of events taking place alongside the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York this week.
It also follows a U.S. decision in July to withdraw some $200,000 in military aid for Rwanda, Washington's first direct punitive action against the Rwandans. Several other western European nations also have cut or suspended aid.
Rwanda has denied having any link to eastern Congolese rebels, including the M23 group, who have been fighting Congolese government soldiers in North Kivu province since April, displacing some 470,000 civilians.
Without citing Rwanda by name, Kabila pointedly raised the issue in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. he said hundreds of thousands of men, women and children had been "deprived of peace and subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment by a negative force directed by elements who are unrepentant because of their ... external support."
A senior U.N. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that faith and trust need to be established between Rwanda and Kabila. He said Kabila had described his confidence in Rwanda as "zero."
While Rwanda has denied any involvement in eastern DRC, the official said that privately: "They are a bit embarrassed, to say the least, and this could be one of the reasons behind the lull (in fighting) in the Kivu."
He said that if Rwanda withdrew support for M23 then the group "could be subdued."
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said this month that rebel forces had established a de facto administration in eastern Congo, challenging the authority of Kabila's government and strengthening their hold over the territory.
A U.N. mission in the DRC, known as MONUSCO, has more than 17,000 troops, but the force is stretched thin across a nation the size of Western Europe and struggles to fulfill its current mandate of protecting civilians.
The U.S. official said Clinton did not explicitly warn Kagame that the further U.S. assistance could be at risk, but said she did emphasize that both leaders bear responsibility for reducing tensions.
"The secretary made no threats," the official said. "But it is important for Rwanda to cease any support for any groups operating against the government of the DRC, and it is important for the DRC government to take steps to protect all of its citizens."
Last month, the DRC said it had asked the U.N. Security Council to place sanctions on Rwanda's defense minister and two top military officials for backing the rebellion, although the United States and other powers are urging more time for political dialogue.
As uneasy neighbors, Congo and Rwanda have gone to war with each other in the past.
Eastern Congo's enduring conflict, which has killed, maimed and displaced several million civilians over nearly two decades, has its roots in Tutsi-Hutu ethnic and political enmities dating back to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
