Edinburgh broke their three-game losing streak with a gutsy 31-25 RaboDirect PRO12 win over Ospreys at Meggetland.
Although the visitors opened the scoring, Edinburgh had built up a 22-11 half-time lead thanks to tries from Grayson Hart (2) and centre Sam Beard, with full-back Carl Bezuidenhout kicking two conversions and a penalty.
Jeff Hassler's second try for Ospreys cut Edinburgh's lead to three points after the break, but three more penalties from Bezuidenhout saw them home.
The visitors made a fast start and capitalised when a long period of possession culminated with some slick passing in the three-quarters and a neat offload by flanker Justin Tipuric for winger Hassler to score - although Dan Biggar could not convert from far out.
Edinburgh responded after Ospreys had offended at a scrum. A long line-out drive finished with scrum-half Hart taking the ball and touching down behind the posts for Bezuidenhout to convert and the full-back soon added his first penalty.
The hosts then weathered some intense Ospreys pressure before registering their second try on 25 minutes, a piece of individual brilliance from winger Jack Cuthbert took him to the visitors' line, where he sent in centre Sam Beard.
By the turnaround, Edinburgh had registered a third try, again through Hart - and despite prop Geoff Cross being in the sin-bin. Hart was put in by flanker Roddy Grant at the end of a long spell of home possession, the score sandwiched by two Biggar penalties.
The Wales international fly-half would add two more in the early stages of the second period to trim the home side's lead to just five points by the 54th minute.
Bezuidenhou responded in kind with his second shortly afterwards, but Ospreys hit back immediately with Hassler confirmed in scoring his second unconverted try, after referee Fitzgibbon had consulted the TMO.
In the 70th minute Edinburgh pinned Ospreys in their 22 for the first time and, although nothing came of it, Bezuidenhout kicked his third penalty from the 10-metre line.
Edinburgh were now dominating territorially and as Ospreys found themselves on the back foot Beck was sin-binned and Bezuidenhout added another penalty.
With two minutes left Biggar kicked his fifth penalty to secure the losing bonus point and conclude the scoring.

New appreciation for creature comforts
We had not heard of the Brazilian wandering spider before an article in The Wall Street Journal helpfully listed it as one of several creatures visitors to Brazil for the World Cup might encounter.
The Journal reported that the spider can be the size of a dinner plate; other sources put its legspan at five inches. It is called the wandering spider because it doesn't make webs but rather roams through the jungle at night in search of prey. During the day, it finds places to hide, like in people's houses or cars. Everyone seems to agree that the wandering spider's venom is the most toxic on earth.
Perhaps you haven't heard, either, of Ilha de Queimada Grande, an island off the coast of Sao Paolo, which is infested with golden lancehead vipers, snakes with venom that can melt human flesh, according to Fox News.
According to Fox, the island is also a home to the wandering spider. Understandably, no humans live there. At least for long.
And you were complaining about living in Fort Wayne just because of the winter weather?

November 26, 2014
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Phil Mickelson is heading to Malaysia later this year for the CIMB Classic.
The PGA Tour announced Thursday that CIMB Classic is moving from The Mines to Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club for the Oct. 24-27 tournament. For the first time, the Malaysia event will be an official tournament in the 2013-14 schedule.
Tiger Woods played in the tournament last year. Along with Mickelson, past winners Nick Watney, Bo Van Pelt and Ben Crane are early commitments. One appeal of moving to Kuala Lumpur is that the course is about five miles from the heart of downtown.
The CIMB Classic is one week before the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, the final World Golf Championship of the year.

The Biggest News in Belly Fat
Science is finally catching up to you, and worrying about the pooch around the middle. Check out the latest headlines, and how they could help you lose pounds and slim down where it matters.
By Holly Corbett
Measure your waist
Having a muffin top not only makes you more likely to hide under bulky sweaters, it also ups your odds of everything from Type 2 diabetes to heart disease. BMI, or body mass index, a common tool for gauging whether you're overweight, may not be as good of an indicator of your health risk as measuring your waist circumference, according to new research presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Lyon, France. "BMI doesnt take muscle into account, which weighs more than fat," says Matthew Daniele, a certified personal trainer and founder of Asylum Fitness. "Your hip-to-waist ratio is a much more accurate predictor of health risks because where you carry your fat is more important than how much body fat you have overall." Women whose ratio is .08 or greater are at increased risk of health problems, and should target fat around the middle. Calculate yours no math required here.

One of must have PC gamekyanpufa | Oct. 20, 2014 | See all kyanpufa's reviews »
Back then I played mortal kombat day and night. This is truly one of best fighting game. It has amazing graphic, skill, movements, fatalities, story etc. You can play it over and over again. The combat was really realistic which is blood and injury etc. And then you will play it over and over again and still enjoying this game. This is this kind of game so i highly recommended it.
A true classic.hateah | July 29, 2014 | See all hateah's reviews »
Ah, that games brings me nostalgia, I remember playing it as a kid. The graphics are old, the movement isn't that flexible and you can't move much, but you can do hell of a lot magics, and skills and K.O's of course which is the ultimate finishing move in the game. If you have watched the movie you'll love that game. There are tons of heroes which you can chose between and fight with the computer, or play the Multiplayer which is the better choice, because to play alone is not fun. There are a lot of maps and each map is made for an each hero. You can dodge,punch,kick, do tons of combos, just anything to finish your foe.
My favourite action game, but on PC.alanmaz567 | July 12, 2014 | See all alanmaz567's reviews »
The PC port has a few problems, i would recommend playing the game with an xbox 360 controller. The Requirements to play this game are low. The graphics don't look that great, probably because it's a port from the console version of the game. The gameplay plays the same way the previous Mortal Kombat games played. The game is really fun to play with friends. The storyline is not horrible. The online multiplayer is fun and enjoyable for some time and there are allot of thing you can unlock in the game with points which you can get after finishing a match.Overall the game is fun, but not as fun as the console version of this game. I would recommend getting this game on a sale, and if possible try getting this game on your console (if you have one).
From the ashes, the Phoenix reborns once again.MafuMafu | June 23, 2014 | See all MafuMafu's reviews »
When I first played this game, I felt like I was 10 again. I still remember when I spent entire afternoons playing Mortal Kombat on my SEGA Genesis. This game brought all those amazing feelings again. The day they announced that it would come to PC I was hyped and it was not in vain. Ed Boon really knows how to return to the roots of the saga and make a amazing game. Plus, the X-Ray is fabulous. Play it alone, online of with/against friends. The fun is guaranteed. It would be a FATALITY not to buy it.
Classic rebornGosen | June 11, 2014 | See all Gosen's reviews »
My biggest problem with fighting games is fact, that I'm not good at it, so any hardcore game I try to play is like a uncrushable wall. Because of combos, AI difficulty, level of players online, etc. Here what I have is absolute classic fighting game and what I get it's perfectly balanced game. Everyone can experiment and make his/her own combo, everyone can actually do something here. It's just possible from the beginning after learning few basics to have fun and then slowly learning to make more advanced combos. Better player will always win, but new player won't blame entire world and the game itself, because he can't win online, can't win with AI, can't do anything, no - it's not that hardcore, yet it's not like mashing will help.
Great story mode, different crazy challenges, fantastic roster with bloody fatalities, smooth animations and just great Mortal Kombat, probably the best in the series. Single player experience is perfect. Unfortunately net-code is not that good and experience from multilayer game could be very different. It's playable, but problems occur. Also controls are not done well, it's better to stick with AS or pad, because keyboard is very inconvenient (even if I prefer keyboard and don't like other controllers too much, here I have to admit that default PC controller is not well suited for this game). It's worth buying! Additional characters from consoles dlc included, indeed Komplete Edition.

District - Satara
As a part of the overall preparedness of the state, the Government of Maharashtra
has a State Disaster Management Action Plan to support and strengthen the efforts
of the district administration. In this context, every district has evolved
it's own District Disaster Management Action Plan (DDMAP). It is expected that
these multi-hazard response plans would increase the effectiveness of administrative
Multi-disaster Response Plan
The DDMAP addresses the districts' response to disaster situations such
as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, epidemics, off-site industrial disasters and
roads accidents and fires. Some of these disasters such as floods and earthquakes
affect large areas causing extensive damage to life, property and environment
while others such as epidemics only affect large populations. In any case, the
management of these disasters requires extensive resources and manpower for
containment by remedial action.
The present plan is a multi-hazard response plan for the disasters and outlines
the institutional framework required for managing such situations. However,
the plan assumes a disaster specific form in terms of the actions to be taken
by the various agencies involved in the disaster. The front-end or local level
of any disaster response organisation will differ depending upon the type of
disaster, but at the level of the back-end i.e., at the controlling level at
the district it will almost remain same, for all types of disasters.
The objectives of the District Disaster Management
Action Plan are :
· To improve preparedness at the district level, through risk and vulnerability
analysis , to disasters and to minimise the impact of disasters in terms of
human, physical and material loss.
· To ascertain the status of existing resources and facilities available
with the various agencies involved in the management of disasters in the district
and make it an exercise in capability building of district administration. This
enables the district to face a disaster in a more effective way and builds confidence
across different segments of society. It will be a positive factor for long
term development of the district.
· To utilise different aspects of disaster mitigation for development
planning as a tool for location and area specific planning for development in
the district.
· To use scientific and technological advances in Remote Sensing, GIS
etc. in preparation of this plan with a view to ensure their continuous use
for development planning.
· To develop a framework for proper documentation of future disasters
in the district, to have an update on critical information essential to a plan,
to critically analyse and appraise responses and to recommend appropriate strategies
· To evolve DDMAP as an effective managerial tool within the overall
policy framework of Government of Maharashtra.
Response to disasters, in the absence of a defined plan, would be arbitrary
leading to overemphasis of some actions and absence of other actions which could
be critical. The objectives of any disaster management plan should be to localise
a disaster and to the maximum extent possible contain it so as to minimise the
impact on life, the environment and property. A formal plan for managing disasters
is therefore necessary. This would include
a. pre-planning a proper sequence of response actions,
b. allocation of responsibilities to the participating agencies,
c. developing codes and standard operating procedures for various departments
and relief agencies involved.
d. inventory of existing facilities and resources
e. mechanisms for effective management of resources
f. co-ordination of all relief activities including those of NGOs to ensure
a coordinated and effective response.
g. Co-ordination with the State response machinery for appropriate support
h. Monitoring and evaluation of actions taken during relief and rehabilitation
"Outline of Vulnerability Assessment" prepared by CSSD/EMC has been
used as the basic instrument to collate district level information to meet the
database requirements for the preparation of DDMAP.
Policy Statement
The underlying policy of the DDMAP is to protect life, environment and property
while ensuring mitigation of the disaster to the maximum extent possible, relief
to those affected and restoration of normalcy at the earliest.
Essentially, communities draw their support from the social institutions, administrative
structure, and values and aspirations they cherish. Disasters may temporarily
disorganise the social units and the administrative system and disrupt their
lives built around these values and aspirations. A systematic effort to put
back the social life on its normal course with necessary technology support
and resources will contribute significantly to the resilience of the community
and nation.
This policy forms the basis of the DDMAP strategy. It aims at capacity building
and prompt utilization of resources in a disaster situation through a partnership
of the GOM, NGOs, Private Initiatives and the community. In pursuance with this
policy, DDMAP addresses itself to strengthening the pre-disaster and post-disaster
responses of various actors and stakeholders including the "victims"
of the disaster.

Disaster Specific Proneness
• There are two main river basins in the district - Bhima basin covering
30% of the district in the north eastern part and the Krishna basin over the
remaining part.
¨ Krishna is the main river in the district - Main tributary is Koyna,
the other tributaries being Kudali, Venna, Urmodi, Tarli, Yerla, and Wasna.
¨ Nira forming the northern boundary of the district and Man are the tributaries
of the Bhima river.
• The monsoon period starts in the month of June with the maximum precipitation
in July and August.
• Since all the major rivers originate in the high rainfall Western Ghat
area, flooding due to excessive rainfall during the monsoon is a natural corollary.
• 16.05 % of the population lives in flood prone areas with the major
rivers Koyna,Krishna, Venna, Yerla, Veer etc showing flooding atleast once a
year during the monsoons.
• Release of excess water from the dams on the major rivers causes flooding
in villages lying along the river course in Patan, Khandala , Satara, Karad
• The Koynanagar Dam on the Koyna river has contributed to reducing the
vulnerability of many villages in Karad tahsil to flooding
• Past incidences of flooding :
Occurrence of Floods in the last 30 years (heavy rains) HeavyRains Flood
Number of deaths due to Floods 22 8
Total Loss due to Floods (in Rupees) 8765 -
Expenditure incurred on Relief and Rehabilitation during last 161 3
thirty years on these episodes (in Rupees)
The following table gives an assessment of the flooding frequency
of major rivers in the district
• Preventive and preparedness measures have been taken to
reduce damage due to floods.
¨ There are 11 Rainfall Monitoring Stations and 14 Flood Monitoring Stations
in the district. (Details in Annexure)
¨ It is observed that flood hazards are mainly caused by illegal encroachments
and hutments on the river-sides, much below the danger-point levels.
¨ When releasing water from dams, advance warning is given to villages
in downstream areas for proper evacuation to safer places.
¨ High Flood Level has been marked on the banks of Krishna, Kanher and
Veer rivers and no settlements are allowed in flood prone areas.
¨ Control room functions round the clock in the Collectorate during the
monsoons and all district heads,tahsildars, SDOs and BDOs are advised to be
¨ Preventive measures like reforestation of denuded forest , land treatment
like contour bunding , protection of watershed from fires, control over deforestation,
create small bandharas(Kolhapur type) ,construction of flood walls in the banks
of the rivers etc may be taken up.
• The district administration has ranked earthquakes at number one in
terms of past occurrences and has indicated a high probability for future occurences.
• This is mainly due to the high incidence of seismic activity in the
Koyna valley which also was the epicentre of the famous 1967 Koyna earthquake
- the strongest seismic event after the 1993 Killari earthquake.
• In the 1967 quake, 161 lives were lost , damages and repairs and reconstruction
cost to the houses and the dam ran to several crores of rupees.
• Reservoir Induced Seismicity (RIS) seems to be the likely cause of
the seismicity in this area.
• Earthquakes have been recorded here from 1963 and till 1997 more than
95000 tremors have been recorded.
• Even presently about 2- 3 tremors ,albeit of very small magnitude,
per day is a common occurrence.
• No other part of the district has reported any seismic activity although
the 1993 Killari earthquake caused some damage.
• Seismic observatories are at Koynanagar , Mahabaleshwar and Satara.
• The Koyna and dam and it's backwaters - the principal epicentral
area for the seismicity- fall mainly in Patan tahsil and the southern part of
Wai tahsil.
¨ These two are comparatively bakward districts with some parts of the
Koyna valley in Patan tahsil still being inaccesible by road.
¨ In the Koyna valley, agricultural activities are rare, and most of it
is forest land. and industrialisation is negligible
¨ Hence the regular tremors of magnitude 2 to 3 are not strongly felt outside
the district ; slightly larger tremors do cause some minor damage to houses
in parts of the valley.
A comprehensive study aimed at asesssing the risk of major seismicity is necessary
especially since this area is very close to the Western Ghat Fault(?) scarp.
A major earthquake here of magnitude more than 6 could cause substantial damage
not only in Satara district but also in the neighbouring more industrialised
districts of Pune and Kolhapur.
The seismic data of the Koyna region since 1963 is given in the
following table :
Road Accidents
• The district administration has ranked road accidents at second spot
on the basisof past incidences and has indicated a medium probability of future
• There is an extensive network of roads throughout the district ; 130
km of the Mumbai -Bangalore National Highway No.4 passes through the district
; there are 939 km of State highways and 7721 km of other district roads.
• Three major accident prone spots have been identified by the district
¨ The stretch of the National Highway between Shirwal and Karad is the
most accident prone part of the highway - more than 600 people have died till
¨ The Khambatki ghat section of the highway is also prone to accidents
due to the narrow road and tunnel - proposal for widening the tunnel and four
laning of the highway is under consideration.
¨ Near Satara City, where the National Highway crosses the State highways,
there is frequent problem of traffic jams and accidents - an overhead bridge
is required.
• More than 30 to 50 vehicles pass through the district carrying diesel,petrol
and other inflamable materials.
• Satara and Karad, major towns on the NH4, have significant number of
industries which receive hazardous materials.
• Epidemics are common throughout the district during the monsoon period,
as in many other districts in Maharashtra.
• The common cause for the outbreaks are polluted water and contaminated
¨ There are 957 villages without piped water supply and depending on wells,
lakes and rivers.
¨ Gastro-enteritis, Cholera, Dysentry, Pneumonia, Jaundice, Typhoid, Diarrhoea
etc. are the common diseases.
¨ During the summer season, there is an increase in the cases of food poisoning
¨ In the last 10 years, there have been 93 cases affecting 3349 people
and resulting in 5 deaths.
¨ The culprit in such cases is unheiginic conditions in dhabas and small
• In the past 30 years there have been 425 instances of epidemics resulting
in 262 deaths.
• The Public Health Department has an extensive network of 69 PHCs, 309
Subcentres, 1 General Hospital, 10 Rural Hospitals, 2 Cottage Hospitals, 1 Ayurved
hospital, 640 Anganwadis.
• Some of the villages in Koyna valley are inaccessible by road, and
any epidemic in these villages canot be monitored effectively nor can preventive
action taken satisfactorily.
• Epidemics have been ranked at 5 on the basis of past occurrences and
the district administration has indicated a medium probaility of future occurrence.
Industrial And Chemical Accidents and Fires
• There are seven industrial estates in the district including four MIDC
estates at Satara, Karad and Wai, and three co-operative estates at Malkapur,
Ogalewadi, and Satara Road.
• 2 Co-operative estates and four MIDCs at Patan, Koregaon,Lonand and
Phaltan are proposed to be setup.
• Plastic, chemical, rubber based industries, air conditioning machines,
oil mills, ice factories, sugar industries are the major typesof industries.
• There are 15 chemical industries out of which the district administration
has indicated that only 5 are hazardous.
• There is no human habitation within 1 km of these hazardous factories.
• All these factories have their emergency action plans ready.
• Due to these reasons, industrial and chemical accidents have been ranked
last in terms of past occurrences, and a low probability of future occurrence.
• On an average about 192 incidents occur every year, most of them involving
burning of huts due to blowing winds during the hot summer afternoons.
• Movement of vehicles laden with hazardous materials along the NH4 and
other state highways also constitute a major hazard
According to the district administration, the probability of disaster occurrence
and the possible intensity of disasters ,based on earlier history is given below.

Episode 1
This study is about the floods that struck Satara district during 23rd to 25th
August 1997.
Before construction of the Dams at Koyana, Dhom, Kanher, Bhatghar(Veer) there
were threat of floods in the down-stream villages in the western partof the
district, but since the Dam construction work has been completed the likelihood
of danger of floods is reduced to a great extent.
However, the Irrigation Department have prepared a plan for flood monitoring
Stations ( River Gauging Stations ) on these major rivers and flood marks have
been erected on the both bank sides of the rivers, in order to alert the people
residing in the red mark zone during the monsoon period. Rainfall Monitoring
Stations on these major rivers like Koyna etc are functioning during monsoon
During the current monsoon season of 1997, the Monsoon started in time in the
western part of this district, and it was normal in the month of June and July
and due to the continuous rains in the catchment areas of the major rivers,
the all major Dams were filled up completely nearby 15th August 1997 as it will
be seen from the following statistical data :-
Sr. No.

In the last week of the August 1997, the low depression took place in the Bay
of Bengal and it was moving in North-West directions and after that an advance
intimation of heavy rains was given by the Meteorological Department to this
District for taking the precautionary measures to meet the situation if arises
Accordingly the heavy rain started from the mid-night of 22nd August 1997 and
continued upto 26th August 1997 in the catchment area of the major Dams, with
the result that a large quantity of excessive water from the Dams were released
in to the down stream rivers, which were flooded, and caused a damage to the
property,crops and roads etc. The statistical data about rainfall (during the
period from 23-8-97 to 26-8-97) received, is as follows :-
Shifting of families to safer sides :-
Due to the heavy floods in the major rivers, the families residing on the bank
of the rivers were shifted to safer side by the Revenue Machinery, on receiving
floods in that area.
The details of the families shifted to the safer sides is as under

As soon as flood in over/reduced these families were returned in their houses
along with the material for living as usual.
Release Of Excessive Water From The Dams :-
The Major Dams were filled up due to the continuous rains as mentioned in the
previous paragraph and as such the Excessive Water from the following dams were
released for the safety of the Dams, in the down stream villages, which caused
a damage to the Property and Crops road etc due to floods.

Damage To Infrastucture :-
Due to the floods in the major rivers, the following bridges from the western
areas, were submerged under the flood water, which disrupted the communication
on this bridges for 2-3 days, which caused inconvenience to the peoples from
that areas.
Name of rivers on which this bridge is
in existence.
During the course of the survey it was observed that the following villages
were covered by the flood water and as such the normal contact and communication
facilities by road were cut down, which caused very inconvenience to the families
residing in the following villages. The details of the same is as under :-
1] WAI TAHSIL = i) Kawathe - 679 families
2] KARAD TAHSIL = i) Tambve - 934 families
Dushere - 447 families
iii) Shere - 652 families
iv) Khodashi - 563 families
v) Sathe - 15 families
vi) Mandrul Haveli - 5 families
i) Gokhali } __ 4 families
ii) Jadhav-vasti}
As soon as the intensity of rain fall is reduced, the river floods were reduced
to great extent and the normal situation took place by 27th August 1997.
Loss Of Life :-
It was noticed that due to the heavy rainfall, a house of Shri. Sakharam Jagannath
Mane from Wathar (Kiroli) was collapsed on the body of same persons, who lost
his life in this natural calamity on 23-8-1997. The rainfall received during
24 hours was 63 M.M..
Assessment Of Administrative Preparedness :-
Before commencement of the Monsoon, the meeting of the all concerning Officers
were conveyed by the Collector and in that meeting a detail review in regards
to the preventive and precautionary measures were taken in it. Accordingly this
various Government authorities Viz:- Revenue authority, Zilla Parishad and Irrigation
Department have taken adequate steps at the time of the floods in the major
rivers, due to the release of excessive water from the Dams to minimise the
loss of human life in the floods.
Procedures Followed For Assessing Of Various Type Of Damages And
Compensation Norms Used :-
After this flood disaster, the Collector had issue instructions to the sub-ordinate
Revenue Machinery to formed a teams to assess the damage caused due to the heavy
rainfall and floods in the Western part of the district. Accordingly the Revenue
Machinery has completed the detailed survey of the damage caused to the property,
crops and animals village wise and this has been reported to the Collectorate
Satara for onwards transmission to the Government. In addition to this the Irrigation
Department and Executive Engineer, B.& C. , Z.P. has also assessed the damage
due to the floods to the roads and other property belonging to their department.
Relief And Compensation :-
In the aforesaid natural disaster of floods and heavy rains the total loss
to the property,crops and others are worked out by making the assessment by
the concerned department, which is as under :-
1) No. of affected villages :- 538 villages

District Collector, who has visited the flood affected area and also she has
supervised the damage assessment operations in Patan and Karad tahsils.
Government have increased in the rate of gratuitous aid from Rs. 450/- to Rs.
Conclusion :-
It is equally important to train volunteers in every village so that relief
reaches to the needy people without delay .
In order to protect the flood proneareas, it is therefore, suggested that treatment
like rorestation of denuded forest, land treatment like contour bunding, protection
of water shed from fires, control over the deforestation, create small bandharas
( Kolhapur Type) onstruction of flood walls in the banks of the rivers etc may
be taken up.
It is observed that flood hazards are mainly caused by illegal encroachments
and hutment's on the river side, much below the danger point levels. Strict
action needs to be taken even in normal times to ensure that such encroachment
are removed from the river banks and fines should be imposed on illegal shelters
to discourage the encroachments and also clear cut notice needs to be given
to the encroacher to shift at their own cost to the safer side. If they fails
to shift from the river beds to safer sides, the relief can not be given at
all in case of floods in near future.
Irrigation Department could have calculated the likely quantum of discharge
in to the rivers and intimated to the Civil Administration about it at least
five hours in advance, so that the Revenue machinery will be in a position to
communicate this message to the river sides villages for the proposed threat
of floods in the village.
During the current year 1997, the Dams were filled up completely and with the
result that a large quantity of excess water from the dams were released from
these 5 Dams in to the down stream of Koyna, Krishna, Kanher, Nira rivers, which
resulted in flooding of river banks in the downstream areas. Some encroachment
and unauthorised constructed houses on the banks of the rivers were submerged
for short period.
In order to avoid the loss of property and human life in the flood hazards,
it is suggested that the following points needs to be emphasised in the mind
of the people.
i) Peoples residing on the banks of rivers in the red zone (flood lines) should
shift to the safer sides.
ii) Irrigation Department, should give an advance intimation of the release
of excess water from the Dams, well in advance in future.
iii) The N.G.O`s should take active part in training the villagers about the
consequences of the flood damages.
iv) Health Department should take immediate steps to provide medical facility
after the flood to the affected people.
v) M.S.E.B. should restore the light connection after checking the electrical
lines after the floods.
vi) Agril. Department should provide the seeds for resowing operation, in case
the crops are washed away in the floods.
vii) B. & C. Department should take immediate steps to repairs the roads
and bridges damaged in the flood for communication as normal on priority basis.
viii) Police Department should keep vigilant watch on the flood situation and
alert the people at the time of flood hazards.
ix) Irrigation Department should keep the flood monitoring centres vigilant
during the rain season.

Mediterranean Shipping is shifting some containerized cargo the carrier normally transships at its Bahamian hub of Freeport to other ports in the Caribbean.
The container ship operator has moved some of its normal flow to transshipment hubs at both ends of the Panama Canal and in Nassau in the Bahamas, according to Nicola Arena, chairman and CEO of MSC (USA).
"This has been going on for a while. Because of the size of the new ships that are being deployed, we had to do some adjustments," said Arena, speaking at an MSC board meeting in Freeport, Bahamas.
The cargo shift has raised concerns among business leaders in the Bahamas that MSC plans to quit Freeport entirely, but Arena said this is not true. "I would like to categorically affirm that we have no intention whatsoever to leave the Port of Freeport," he said. "Freeport is strategically very important for MSC, particularly in view of the bigger ships which will come in the near future. It is our strong intention to remain here."
MSC moves about 700,000 20-foot equivalent containers units through Freeport per year, but because of the slowdown in the growth of container trade with the U.S., the carrier no longer needs to move as many containers through the Freeport Container Port, which is operated by Hutchison Port Holdings.
MSC has shifted some transshipment activities to the HPH terminal in the Port of Balboa on the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal and to HPH's Cristobal Container Terminal in Colon at the canal's Caribbean entrance. "This is just an arrangement according to the size of the ships and the requirements of the market and the final destinations," Arena said.
Arena said the shift of some of MSC's transshipment activities to other Caribbean hubs is temporary, but he could not say how long it would last. Some traffic has been moved to the Port of Nassau, Bahamas, which he said "is becoming an important port for us."
As MSC takes delivery of more large container ships, it plans to continue to use Freeport for transshipment, because "with 50.8 feet of water depth, it is ideal for big ships," he said. "It is the best port in the American hemisphere."

Guestbook comments from the owner
My friend and I stayed in this apartment for 5 days. The purpose of the trip was to visit Manhattan. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get to Manhattan from the apartment which is in Queens. We were even more pleased at how comfortable it was when we returned very tired every night. The bed in the bedroom was just as comfortable as the sofa bed, the sheets, towels and all other amenities were all there. The place looks exactly as it is shown in the photos and is very clean. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Ok, fine. I'll be honest: this is not my native shoe. I go for VERY LOUD shoes, leaving the romantic/vintage stuff to the legions of romantic/vintage wedding blogs.
But I want to have a go at these romantic styles, which by their very nature, are a little bit softer.
We're talking dust rose and lace edging. Vintage-tinged styles in shades of champagne and dove with petal detailing. This is a departure, my friends. But I'm ready for it. LET'S DO THIS THING.
In fact, I'mma do this thing so hard that I'm going to even include some non-shoes!

Every Woman's Battle.
Using the mobile revolution in Kenya and other African countries as a digital platform to eliminate violence against women.
- Comments (22)

"Say you are one of them" is a book that I read few years ago. The book is a collection of many short stories that highlight the battles that women face in the streets of Nairobi Kenya. As a selection of the Oprah Book Club, the book sold millions of copies and spearheaded a global movement of women and men that realized that the whole world is connected. The character of "Maisha" (a Swahili word which means life) is a young girl who was born and brought up in the streets and clearly outlines what I like to call "every woman's battle". Her struggles beautifully paint out the proactive power of an African girl who decides to work with her hands to change the trajectory of their street family. She suffered in the hands of unjust individuals yet she managed to shield her siblings from a future filled with poverty and suffering. You see, many individuals in this world have not woken up to the reality that you cannot live your life reactively. As long as it is "their" problem then the responsibility is shifted to "them". The truth of the matter is that "they" is "us" and it's just a matter of time before "their" problems catch up with us.
As an African woman I realized that the task ahead of me is humongous. It's even harder when I come face to face with a situation where I deal with individuals that seem to be unconscious about the reality of the issues that women and girls face at grassroot level. I find myself almost embattled in a never ending struggle with individuals that purport to speak for us in Africa yet some have never even been to Africa. With every small step I take, I find more obstacles. A consistent obstacle that I often find recurring in my path is in tackling strategies that completely keep Africa behind. I have always heard Oprah Winfrey confess that her journey towards the Oprah Winfrey show started when she realized that "bad news" was the only news that would make headline news. In her own words she said "I sat at the news desk and realized that every headline news item had to be "bad news" to catch the viewer's attention. Why do people enjoy bad news? Is this not one of the leading causes of depression?
Unfortunately, developing countries have been the casualties of making "bad" headline news globally. 23 years ago in my community 71 girls were raped and killed in a night. This news item was reported by almost every global media house. Unfortunately, my sibling was a survivor of that terrible incident. Even today, she still struggles to find calm because she escaped narrowly and lost her friends in that incident. My question for the women of the world is this; "Are you one of them" We face a battle that will require sometimes everything we have. In a world dominated by poor strategic planners, availing the internet for the women of the world is a challenge. I witnessed that the bestselling story of Africa is a sad one when my sibling's story of survival was reported with focus on only rape and murder and not the survivors. It is very sad that even some of the journalists that wrote the story of my village won Pulitzer awards yet my own sibling has to live with that story of her life without a good ending. I have to live with it too. Even though I was a little girl when it happened, it was also my pain, our family's pain to bear.
I am determined to continue to be part of the women that will ensure that the solutions made for the women of Africa focus on including them in technology and access to the internet. The time for the African woman's issues to be tackled without technology is gone. We are behind even in the developing countries access to the internet statistics. I know that every continent is different; therefore I will continue to raise my voice for Africa as a subject matter expert. I am glad to be part of the trailblazers in a journey that will ensure that the world can embrace a story of hope, development and proactivity from the continent of Africa. If we had the internet when 71 girls were raped and killed in one night, my entire village would have let the whole world know our side of the story! We could have started a social media group for give survivors a platform and a working group for emotional wellness. The internet would have enabled us to use crowdsourcing to keep our story balance and the negative would have been depleted by positive reports. We would have discredited the inconsistencies that were reported to exaggerate the "bad story" about Africa online. We could have started another #BringBackOurGirls Campaign and prevented institution rape and murder of adolescent girls.
I know that the internet will not find it's way to my village overnight, but I am confident that our iVillage Girl Hub will be kissed by heaven one of this fine days and we shall have the internet. We shall make small steps and ensure that we avoid getting distracted or derailed by anything that wastes our time. Our journey will have some days when we shall feel the weight of the world on our shoulders, but if our lives will amount to anything we have to be ready to go the extra mile. Recently, we participated in a challenge that would have given us a chance to solve the issue of insecurity in Africa by implementing a solution that would give rural women access to the internet. The outcome lead us to understand that we have to press on. I received hundreds of emails on social media most of which were an outcry from women and girls. They wondered why the outcome did not include solutions that would move African women towards innovation and access to the internet. We look forward to brighter days ahead and for every door that we find closed ahead of us, we quickly regroup and take it as a necessary redirection that will lead us to our open door. I implore the women of our world to keep on in the struggle towards availing the internet for every woman in the world. It is through the internet that our team will manage to avail a distress safety manual for women in the entire continent of Africa. I had promised to keep our followers posted on our progress so I am attaching our current status on the attached documents below.
My Poem
To say that I do not know you would be a lie,
I know you because I see a portion of myself in your life.
To act like I do not care, is to act like I am not alive,
I am alive so I care.
To act like I cannot see you is to act like my eyes are blind,
Yet even if I am blind, my heart can feel your presence from your voice.
To act like I cannot speak for you is to act like my lips are dumb
Yet even though I could be dumb my heart whispers your name.
Say you are one of them,
Say you are one of us,
We are the women who weave the web,
Our voices rise in the midst of every noise!

Thanks for your beautiful voice
How I wish that every rural girl has access to the internet. We must do everything within our power to raise this issue and save the future of our girls in the rural communities. in the area we work, we do not even have access to electricity, talkless of the internet, and I begin to wonder, if we are struggling with electricity at this age, when the whole world is moving away from electricity to other energy efficiency discoveries, then are we part of this progressive world???. How do we expect our young ones to compete favourably to other children who have access to the gadgets needed to develop and sharpen their brains......
We have a lot of work in our hands and thank God, we have realized this and started from somewhere...
When they fight their war, when they loot and destroy, they target women and girls, this is because of patriarchy, but one day, we will say enough is enough and we will fight back and win this battle against our body.

Dear Woman of Paradise,
You have asked the piercing questions and have gone further by seeking out answers and solutions to the problems faced by your own womenfolk. Indeed, safety for young girls is a significant concern everywhere, especially in the rural areas. Technology, like the internet, can be a weapon and a tool in women's hands. You have pointed out a significant point: digital justice means equal access for women. Here my hope that you be able to harness the potential for change in your own community.

Egatuma, Thank you for your
Thank you for your story. Our world has nurtured negativity to the point that sadness and violence have become normal elements of our daily lives.
I agree with you, it is time for African women to take ownership of their lives and to speak up. In our era of technology we are offered so many possibilities to communicate.
''Every Day is a Journey and the Journey itself is Home.'' (Matsuo Basho)
We need to learn how to prepare for the journey.

Thank you Esther.

We must keep on
Dear Egatuma,
Your story touched me very deeply. I can hear and feel your commitment, persistence, and determination, even in the face of great odds. I appreciate your courage, and your keen understanding of what it will take to move the issue of equality for women forward. Yes, the internet has opened many doors and has created a global community of support. But unless women have reasonable access to it, and education about how to use it for the greatest impact, they will be left behind and their stories and voices will be silenced.
Your poem is so elegant and tells the truth--that we are not separate, that we are all connected through the heart. Thank you for showing up, for speaking up, and for all you are doing for the women of Africa!
With gratitude and respect.
Dear Esther,thanks for sharing your story,really we have alot to do to help more women access and know how to use the internet to make our voices heard. The internet has played a vital role to my success in life,it is helping me to achieve my goals in life,it can also help other girls and women, whem my father died 17 years ago my mother and her children were abandoned by the family members,we were living in poverty but education and digital skills helped me to break the cycle of poverty,now i own my own social enterprize that empowers women and their kids www.facebook.com/mmbl4w . i know with more people like you,we help more women digitally included.

Safety of Women
Dear Esther,
Your story inspired and reminded me that "we need to be the change that we want to see in this world" (Gandhi) I salute your focus and resilience in creating a space for women to raise their voices, using technology to create a safer world for them and to focus on the positive. We often sit down in shock and horror when we here the negative, sad stories of Africa (I am a South African woman) as it happened in your village but still happening every day. The questions is what do we do about it? Statistics on rape of women and girls in South Africa is of the highest in the world and women get killed by their partners on a daily basis -- I don't want to wallow on the negative, sad stories but the need for empowering women, through the web in this case, is crucial. Best of luck with the work you are doing - you made me think of what I need to do in my country. As an old mentor of mine said: "If it's to be; it's up to me" - Lou Tice.
Your voice is powerful
Dear Egatuma, you are a strong woman and the power of your voice came through in your writing. Thanks for sharing the beautiful poem as well. I hope one day all girls, whether in urban or rural areas, will have an opportunity to take advantage of the possibilities Internet access affords us.
amazing Story
My dear sister I am praying that the heavens kiss your village quickly so that the women and girls can access internet. I keep telling people that our neighbours problems are ours and its time we join hands and make our continent a better place. Thank you for such an inspiring story. I AM ONE OF US.

Beautifully written
Dear Egatuma,
Thank you for sharing your story. I agree that negative stories are too often glamorized in the media, and it is so unfortunate that, without the internet, it is so challenging to share the truth from the perspective of those who experience the things that are being reported. Your story helped me to understand how very frustrating it must be to see writers receiving awards for bestselling books about your village while the stories of the survivors are left untold and and are the cause of great pain. It was heartbreaking to read that having the internet after the horror of rape could have helped in creating a platform for emotional wellness and one in which the story of survival could have been shared in a positive light. The hope that you have for a brighter future gives you strength to persevere, and I admire your determination. You are a true trailblazer, and I hope that all of the work that you are doing to reach your goals for the women of Africa will raise awareness and bring positive change. I hope that the world will soon hear many more voices of courage.
Women movement
It is sometimes sad to get to know that women in many parts of the world are still not given equal opportunities, though we are now already in the 21st century...with advanced technology and sciences...developments everywhere. But what is rather relieving is that many women are not giving up the fight, to advocate for women rights and joining movements as well as spreading the words around, and gathering together, even in platforms to discuss. Voices do count, numbers matter. Let's continue the works for the benefits of current generation and for the future.

Leftover hot dog and hamburger buns
- leanneabe Jan 18, 2007 11:53 PM
What can I do with these? Besides turn them into bread crumbs.
I've used a couple for morning egg sandwiches, but I prefer english muffins rather than soft white buns. So what now? Should I just freeze them until we have burgers again? What about the hot dog buns?
bread crumbs
freeze them
Use them to thicken "cream" soups, stews, spaghetti sauce, tightens up any sauce where you don't want to make a roux.
Top casseroles, mac 'n cheese, creamed veggies.
Mix w/melted butter and top soups, veggies, etc.
re: othervoice
On the bread pudding vein-- strata-- torn up pieces of bread and your favorite frittata combinations, stirred together and baked. A savory bread pudding, mmmm.
I make turkey or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on them to pack in my daughter's lunchbox. She thinks it's a treat.
I freeze them until I serve hamburgers or hot dogs again; a few seconds in the microwave is all they need. Actually, even when I freeze them, they often get eaten up for lunch the next day with pimiento cheese spread inside. Like Junie, I pack school lunchboxes with peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches made with these buns.
re: jbyoga
Yeah that sounds good. I would even add a sprinkle of parmesan...I was going to suggest feeding the birds.
I once made a stuffing for a roasted chicken. Honestly is was pertty darn good. I don't care for dry stuffing this one was more souffle like so it was perfect for us. Anyway, I didn't waste them which was what the plan was.
We've always used them for bread pudding, the blandness always compliments any type of fruit or nuts you would want to add without competing.
what about one of those oven baked french toasts where you tear the bread up and add egg, cinnamon etc, maybe even apple, and bake it. I just did that with leftover cubed french bread from fondue night.
Garlic bread. :) If I need to use them, I just brush them with an olive oil/fresh garlic mixture, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, and even grate a little parm on them. Broil.
It doesn't have the texture of a nice baguette or italian loaf, but it does the trick. :)
Take a look around your grocery store.
I've noticed that mine (Cub Foods and SuperTarget) sells individual buns in bulk bins. I live alone (college student) so when I want a burger, I just buy 1 bun and don't have to worry about 7 to 11 leftovers.
Split hot dog button w/o separating sides. Spread with a nice thick layer of butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then grill in a pan until sugar layer carmelizes, or broil it. Then use the bun as a base for a banana split...
Use 'em to make pizza-like open face sandwiches (toast, spread with tomato sauce or even tomato paste all the way to edge, sprinkle of Italian seasoning, garlic, top with cheese and favorite toppings. Broil until cheese is melted)
Or how about sloppy joes? Meatball subs? I guess these are just different variations on the sandwich theme, but sometimes I forget how good these old favorites are :)
Bread pudding either sweet or savory (good for Sunday 'brunch'!).
For savory some sausage, onions, peppers along with eggs and milk.
For sweet; plenty of suggestions/discussion on the board!
Depends how snooty you are...
I enjoy finding a brand of surimi (fake crab chunks) that I like, take a quarter-pound and bash it into flakes in the processor (careful, not too small a flake) and tossing with a little mayo or Miracle Whip, maybe some minced celery or parsley, to make an OK quickie New England Lobster Roll.
My vote is with all the bread pudding suggestions. One of the tastiest bread puddings I've ever consumed was made from a package of cheap potato hot dog buns.
two things we do with them:
1) freeze them for emergencies (nothing worse than being short on buns) throw them on the grill to lightly toast and you'll barely know the difference
2) make garlic bread for the kids (usually to serve with a pasta dish)

Easy, quick and very yummy. Give this a try! It works very well with venison and game meat. Prep time doesn't include marinating time, if used. Update: the amount of oil in this recipe has been changed, sorry for the origional typo! I do recommend marinating the beef in red wine.
