Contacts: Phil Hay (202) 473-1796 Lawrence MacDonald (202) 473-7465 Contact, Radio & TV: Cynthia Case (202) 473-2243 GENEVA/WASHINGTON, November 3, 1997 — With approximately 90 percent of all HIV infections occurring in developing countries, more intensive government prevention efforts, especially among people who have many sex partners or inject drugs, could save millions of lives and reduce the severe economic and social costs of the epidemic, according to a World Bank report released today in Geneva and Washington.
The report-Confronting AIDS: Public Priorities in a Global Epidemic-says that 23 million people worldwide are now infected with HIV and that 8,500 people are newly infected each day. Two decades after the first appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus, 6 million people have died from AIDS, and new evidence suggests that while Sub-Saharan Africa has most people infected-14 million-the virus may be on the verge of exploding in other regions such as Central and Eastern Europe.
"HIV is continuing to spread and is taking a terrible toll," said Mead Over, co-author of the report. "In many hard-hit countries, HIV has already reduced life expectancy by more than a decade."
The report identifies priorities for developing countries and the international community in responding to the epidemic, the first measure being to help people with the riskiest behavior protect themselves and others from HIV infection. Yet in many countries, government-backed prevention programs do not reach people with the riskiest behavior. Activities that greatly increase the risk of contracting HIV include unprotected sex with many partners and injecting drugs using unsterilized shared needles.
"It is a fundamental responsibility of government to ensure that HIV is prevented among people with the riskiest behavior," Mr. Over said. "This will prevent the largest number of infections among all people--even among people who do not take risks."
For example, in Nairobi, Kenya, treating sexually transmitted diseases among 500 prostitutes and increasing their condom use to 80 percent, prevented 10,000 infections per year among their clients, the clients' wives and other partners. A similar level of condom use among 500 men in the community would have prevented fewer than 100 infections.
"HIV moves through populations in a series of overlapping epidemics," Martha Ainsworth, co-author of the report, said in Washington. "Once the virus has spread widely among people with very risky behavior, preventing its spread to others becomes increasingly difficult."
Programs that make it easier for injecting drug users to get sterile injecting equipment have also been highly effective. Several cities around the world which have needle exchange programs, such as Glasgow, Scotland and Sydney, Australia, have held HIV infection rates among injecting drug users to less than 5 percent; while in nearby cities without these programs, infection rates among injecting drug users have soared to more than 50 percent. Needle exchange programs have also been highly successful in Toronto, Canada; Tacoma (Washington) U.S.A.; Lund, Sweden; and Katmandu, Nepal.
Other people besides sex workers, their clients, and injecting drug users also engage in high risk behavior. Studies have shown that soldiers, police officers, prisoners, long distance truck drivers, migrant workers, and homosexual and bisexual men, often have more sexual partners than others.
Governments need to find out which groups have the riskiest behavior and work with them to prevent the spread of HIV. However, governments are often unwilling to back prevention efforts with such groups because critics argue that these controversial programs will encourage people to have multiple sex partners or to inject drugs. Research has shown this not to be the case.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can sometimes avoid this controversy and are often more effective than governments at working with people with very risky behavior. In Calcutta's Sonagachi red-light district, for example, the Indian government, donor countries, three local NGOs, and sex workers are working together in a prevention program that has held HIV among the sex workers in the area at low levels.
Governments need to act as early as possible. "In every country that now has a serious epidemic, people said 'it can't happen here.' They were wrong," Ms. Ainsworth said. "By the time that many AIDS cases are observed, it is too late to avert a serious epidemic; HIV will already have spread widely." In Honduras, for example, where fewer than 8,000 AIDS cases have been reported, an estimated 50,000 adults are already infected with HIV.
Yet many countries still have an opportunity to prevent a widespread HIV epidemic. In 30 developing countries, and in large areas of China and India, HIV has infected less than 5 percent of people who engage in very high risk behavior. Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, most countries from the former Soviet Union, and much of Eastern Europe are at this early stage of the epidemic.
For the 2.3 billion people who live in these countries and parts of China and India with "nascent" epidemics, investing in effective prevention now can keep infection rates very low and at relatively low cost.
In other countries, HIV is already widespread among groups with the riskiest behavior but has yet to spread widely among other people. More than 40 developing countries have "concentrated" epidemics, including Pakistan, Ukraine, most of Latin America, parts of Western Africa, and most of Indochina. Parts of India and the southwestern regions of China bordering the "Golden Triangle" of the drug trade also have concentrated epidemics.
Preventing a widespread epidemic in these countries, home to 1.6 billion people, is still possible, but it becomes more difficult and costly than dealing with it at an earlier stage. In Thailand, which has a concentrated epidemic, an extensive campaign promoting universal condom use in brothels is slowing the epidemic. Infection rates among young army conscripts have declined.
Twenty-one countries have "generalized" epidemics in which 5 percent or more of women attending maternity clinics are infected. Most are low-income African countries where the resources needed to cope with the epidemic are most scarce. In these countries, home to 226 million people, it is still crucial to help people with the riskiest behavior protect themselves and others. In addition, prevention among people with fewer partners becomes increasingly important as the epidemic spreads.
Governments in countries with a generalized epidemic also face the problems of deciding how to cope with the increased demand for medical care, and how to respond to the effects of AIDS on poor households. The report recommends that governments in all countries, especially those in the worst-affected regions, ensure that low cost, effective treatments for illnesses that often strike people with HIV are available. For example, treating oral thrush, which makes swallowing extremely painful and affects many people in the early stages of AIDS, costs only about $2.00 per episode.
"Even some quite poor households would readily pay this cost provided that the medicine were available," said Mr. Over. "Sadly, these medicines are often not available."
Tuberculosis, which also often strikes people with HIV, can be treated for as little as $36 per person. Since tuberculosis is highly infectious, governments have an obligation to fund such treatment in any patients who would otherwise go untreated, regardless of their HIV status, the report says. It also cautions that recent medical advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS involving combinations of expensive drugs are too complex and costly for widespread use in developing countries.
"Antiretroviral therapy costs about $12,000 dollars a year and requires sophisticated clinical support that is rarely available to people in developing countries," Mr. Over said. "To be fair, governments should subsidize expensive HIV treatments at the same rate that they subsidize other treatments that are equally expensive, complex and experimental."
Even if the cost of new HIV/AIDS treatments declined substantially, governments would still need to consider carefully whether scarce government resources should be used for treatment or prevention.
In hard-hit countries, AIDS has greatly increased the number of deaths of adults during their prime working years. Such deaths create particular hardships for the poorest families, who often reduce food consumption and withdraw their children from school to cope with the loss of income. The report suggests that governments can mitigate these impacts of the epidemic by ensuring that anti-poverty programs include poor families affected by HIV/AIDS.
"AIDS presents policymakers with extremely difficult choices in allocating public resources," Joseph Stiglitz, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank said in Washington. "The study helps to identify policies that are fair and cost-effective," he added. The report differs from many other studies of HIV/AIDS by analyzing the epidemic from the perspective of public economics, which focuses on how to allocate government resources.
Speaking at a press briefing in Geneva, Peter Piot, the Executive Director of UNAIDS, said that the World Bank's research in the report is an example of the benefits of international AIDS cooperation. He urged all governments to put AIDS higher on their agendas. "Governments must act now to confront this epidemic and must challenge all sectors of society to become involved," he added. Preparation of the report received extensive support from UNAIDS and the European Commission.
A joint forward to the book signed by Mr. Piot, World Bank President James Wolfensohn, and João de Deus Pinheiro, a member of the European Commission praised the report as "a valuable contribution to the international debate on the role of government in addressing the AIDS epidemic in developing countries."
The World Bank is one of the largest sources of finance of AIDS prevention measures in developing countries. At the end of 1996, the Bank had committed $632 million to 61 HIV/AIDS projects in 41 countries.

The state of Tolima was founded in the year 1908. The territory was inhabited before the arrival of the conquerors by indigenous groups like the "Panches", and "Pijaos", "Natagaimas", who were extraordinary warriors who became extinct.
Sebastian de Belalcazar was the first conqueror to arrive in Tolima in 1538, and then other conquerors like Hernan Perez de Quesada, Andres Lopez de Galarza and Francisco Nunez de Pedroza arrived in the year of 1886 and created the state of Tolima, also known as "Tolima Grande".
Tolima Grande was divided in the state of Huila with most of the territory in Neiva and in 1908 with the rest of the former territory they created the state of Tolima, with its capital city Ibague.

The chapter discusses a collaborative effort to document more than 120 local Inupiaq terms for sea ice and associated vocabulary in the community of Wales, Alaska, in 2007–2008. The value of recording indigenous words for sea ice as a key to understanding indigenous knowledge of sea ice was first tested during an earlier project on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska (2000–2002). Under the SIKU initiative, more than 20 of such local ice vocabularies were collected in indigenous communities in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka, Russia. In Wales, Winton Weaypuk, a boat captain and a speaker of the Kingikmiut dialect, led the effort to collect local ice terms, documented elders' knowledge about ice, and took more than 100 photos of various ice-related activities in the Wales area. Traditional words for ice, illustrations of local ice forms, and the Inupiaq explanations and English translations collected for the project would be of help to young hunters, so that the knowledge is preserved for future generations.

As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,A tragedy by William Shakespeare, though the story is older than that, first found in the Historia Regum Britanniae (the tragic ending isn't, though).Lear, the elderly king of Britain, decides to step down from the throne and divide his kingdom into three parts to give to his eldest daughters, Regan, Cordelia, Goneril. But before he officially seals the deal, he keens that the largest share will go to the daughter who loves him best. Much butt-kissing ensues; all except from the youngest, Cordelia, who is too honest by half. Despite being Lear's favorite and having the most love for her father, Cordy's flattery doesn't pass muster, and the senile King banishes her — along with own close friend the Earl of Kent, who speaks in her defense. Cordelia's share is divvied up between her elder sisters and Lear announces his retirement, though he insists on keeping one hundred knights, the respect and title of a king, and free room and board at his daughters' homes.It doesn't take long before Lear wears out his welcome. His daughters, resentful and wary from the outset, quickly tire of the knights causing a ruckus, not to mention the lavish expense of keeping them on staff. Lear is once again outraged and, rather than compromising with his daughters, he stubbornly denounces them. When Goneril and Regan double down by refusing to take in his knights, Lear, too, refuses their shelter, and is caught out in a thunderstorm while both his followers and his sanity desert him. He is left with only his Fool and the disguised Earl of Kent to care for him.A closely-related subplot follows another family, that of the Earl of Gloucester, another of Lear's close friends. His younger son, the illegitimate Edmund, tricks Gloucester into thinking his legitimate son Edgar is plotting to kill him. Gloucester is duped, and Edgar goes on the run, disguising himself as a homeless madman to escape capture. Edgar falls in with his godfather Lear, while Edmund, resentful of the world who judges him simply because he was born a bastard, decides to show everyone what a bastard he can be and seduces not just one but both of Lear's elder daughters. With a few deft moves, he goes from inheriting nothing to being potentially the most powerful man in Britain.And then the kingdom is attacked by Cordelia's new hubby, the King of France ... hilarity does NOT ensue.King Lear is an extremely powerful play, and for quite some time was unpopular with critics and audiences because it made what was once a traditional Happily Ever After Fairy Tale ending massively depressing instead. Honest children are punished while villains prosper, the good characters suffer through madness and despair and are forced to extreme measures merely to survive, a king is forced to face his own sins, and one character is tortured brutally on-stage. The kingdom is left a shattered mess, and, if done right, so is the audience. The ending is so depressing that it was fully rewritten in 1681, so Cordelia survives and marries Edgar; the revision was more popular than the original for over than a hundred years. After World War II and the horrors people saw in it, the original story of Lear made a comeback. Today, it is considered one of Shakespeare's great tragedies, along with Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello.The play has been adapted several times for the screen, but no adaptation is more famous than the one that moves it to Japan, changes the daughters into sons, and adds a whole bunch of other stuff, Ran.It's also been adapted into literature, such as Jane Smiley's 1991 novel A Thousand Acres, itself adapted into a movie. A reimagining of the story from the perspective of the Fool was written by Christopher Moore.
They kill us for their sport.

Lawsuit: FedEx Fires Driver Over Russian Accent
"It really does hurt," said Elshad Aliyev, who speaks flawless English. "We lost everything in Russia."
He said his father can be a little hard to understand on a telephone but "if you would talk to him personally, you could communicate well enough."
GNB Trucking said FedEx controls the hiring and firing of its truck drivers and a host of other business terms. Ben Ishhanov, a manager for the trucking outfit, speculated that Ismail Aliyev had flunked an English test given by a FedEx field office after his hiring.
His son, however, maintains Ismail Aliyev passed that test."He was told to write something on a blackboard and read some papers," Elshad Aliyev said. The GNB manager at first said he didn't recall Ismail Aliyev or being ordered to fire any truck drivers because of their speaking ability. "We haven't fired anyone for that," said Ishhanov, speaking with what he said was an Armenian accent. Then he added, "If FedEx told us to fire a driver, we can't do anything about that. Some guys don't know any English. That's the problem." Ismail Aliyev has held a commercial license since 2009 and was driving without any problems before FedEx ordered his firing in September, his lawyer said. "FedEx just decided they didn't want to deal with him, or even talk to him," said Wilde, who filed the lawsuit Friday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount for lost wages and punitive damages.

The Joint Japan World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program is quite unique among the hundreds of multilateral, bilateral and NGO funded scholarship programs offered to international students. Unlike most of the well known programs it does not focus on a specific region, group, hosting institution or country, or field of study; the only restriction being for the scholars to pursue graduate studies in development-related fields.
The 3,751 scholars supported by the JJWBGSP to date came from almost 150 countries and undertook studies in almost 400 higher education institutions distributed among 40 countries.
The training of thousands of mid-career professionals contributed significantly and undoubtedly to enhance capacity in the developing world in critical areas such as public management and finance, infrastructure projects planning and management, urban and rural development, agriculture and water resources management, environment protection, and public health.
The program also contributed to build-up and support development-related academic programs in more than fifteen universities. In particular, the program contributed to develop the capacity of four African universities through the establishment of Master degrees in Economic Policy Management (EMP). These four programs are providing training to 120 mid-career public sector professionals each year.

Yamaha S2000 CD Player/Amp review
Yamaha's contribution to the world of high fidelity has been distinctive, sometimes even distinguished, but also more than a touch patchy, with long barren spells punctuating the infrequent highlights. The latter include true world beaters such as the CT1000 tuner and the beryllium tweeter equipped NS1000. But ambitious mainstream high fidelity components have been noticeable by their absence; the new 2000 series components you see here being their first important new introductions for many years.

|Walk in Abraham Lincoln's Footsteps...Ride on America's Road - Route 66!
|December 6, 2012
"Lincoln Movie" Newswire Story with photo of Lincoln, IL Tourism officials featured on Tonight Show Headlines Segment on Monday
Paul Gleason and Geoff Ladd of the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County, based in Lincoln, Illinois, were part of a Jay Leno Headlines segment on Monday's "Tonight Show" late night program on NBC.
The article, with a photo of the officials (Gleason is Chairman and Ladd is Executive Director of the organization), was written by Decatur Herald reporter Tony Reid recently, and was picked up by the AP newswire because of the publicity surrounding the Spielberg movie, "Lincoln".
Paul Gleason talks to reporter Tony Reid at Paul's "office", the local Burger King
"Though the movie is referenced in the article, the story is actually about Lincoln's connection to Lincoln, Illinois and how he christened the town with the juice of a watermelon in 1853," said Geoff Ladd of the local tourism bureau. Ladd surmised that the ambiguous headline and admittedly less-than-flattering but very funny photo selected for the article were the factors that allowed for it to be chosen for the segment. "Everyone who knows Paul and I will tell you we both have a great sense of humor, and so we'll take the publicity hands-down – this is great – this is the advertising for our community, our state and our Lincoln story that we cannot buy. Paul & I would like to follow-up by visiting Jay Leno on his show to explain the back story," said Ladd. "At first I cringed when the story came out with that photo in the Decatur Herald. The photographer took probably 50-100 photos, and how they ended up using that one was beyond me, but now I am grateful." The story was picked up by newswire services and soon appeared in several newspapers across the country.
Lincoln, Illinois also drew quite a bit of media attention with their opening night event for the Lincoln movie, which debuted at the newly remodeled and upgraded, but still historic Lincoln Theater in downtown Lincoln, IL on November 16th. Movie-goers were greeted by professional Lincoln interpreters, Chris Hotz and Deborah Senger (as Abe & Mary) of Timeless Presentations, a Bloomington, IL based company. The Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County handed out their brand new combination rack card/free postcard, featuring the World's Largest Covered Wagon with Abe Lincoln at the helm. The wagon, which functions as an Abraham Lincoln and Route 66 attraction, was donated to the historic city by local philanthropist, Larry Van Bibber.

Document - Bahrain: Prisoner of conscience's sentence upheld: Zainab Al-Khawaja
FU UA: 232/12 Index: MDE 11/015/2013 Bahrain Date: 10 May 2013
URGENT ACTION PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE'S SENTENCE UPHELD Bahraini activist Zainab Al-Khawaja's sentence to three months' imprisonment for participating in an "illegal gathering" was upheld by the Appeal Court on 9 May. She is a prisoner of conscience held solely for peacefully exercising her rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly. In 2012 a Criminal Court in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, charged Zainab Al-Khawaja with "participating in an unauthorized demonstration" which took place in the Al Aali area on 26 November 2011. The sentence of three month's imprisonment was suspended however, following payment of 300 Bahraini Dinars (approx. 800 USD) and pending a ruling by the Appeal Court.
Zainab Al-Khawaja's new sentence will be added to the one she is currently serving - three months and 22 days imprisonment for "insulting an officer" in a military hospital - in Issa Town Prison for women. She is still being denied family visits for refusing to wear the prison uniform and this originates from her belief that the uniforms are worn by criminals and by wearing one she would be admitting guilt.
On 15 May the Appeal Court is due to issue its verdict in the case against her and fellow activist Ma'suma Sayyid Sharaf for "illegal gathering", "inciting hatred against the regime" and a further charge related to the alleged assault of police officers during their arrest in December 2011.
Please write immediately in Arabic or English: Expressing grave concern that Zainab Al-Khawaja is imprisoned solely for peacefully exercising her rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, and urging the authorities to release her immediately and unconditionally; Urging the Bahraini authorities to quash her prison sentences and drop all the charges against her; Urging them to allow her immediate access to her family and lawyer.
PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 21 JUNE TO: King Shaikh Hamad bin 'Issa Al Khalifa Office of His Majesty the King P.O. Box 555 Rifa'a Palace, al-Manama, Bahrain Fax: +973 1766 4587 (keep trying) Salutation: Your Majesty
Minister of Interior Shaikh Rashid bin 'Abdullah Al Khalifa Ministry of Interior P.O. Box 13, al-Manama, Bahrain Fax: +973 1723 2661 Twitter: @moi_Bahrain Salutation: Your Excellency
And copies to: Minister of Justice and Islamic Affairs Shaikh Khalid bin Ali bin Abdullah Al Khalifa Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs P. O. Box 450, al-Manama, Bahrain Fax: +973 1753 1284 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @Khaled_Bin_Ali Salutation: Your Excellency
Also send copies to diplomatic representatives accredited to your country.
Please check with your section office if sending appeals after the above date. This is the sixth update of UA 232/12. Further information: http://amnesty.org/en/library/info/MDE11/008/2013/en
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Zainab Al-Khawaja is the daughter of activist 'Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, a prisoner of conscience. She was first arrested in December 2011, together with another activist, Mas'uma Sayyid Sharaf, and released a few days later. They were charged with "illegal gathering" and "inciting hatred against the regime" after police broke up a peaceful protest at a roundabout outside Manama using teargas and sound bombs. When the police arrested her she was the only person remaining at the roundabout and was sitting on the ground. Video footage of her arrest shows two women police officers handcuffing her and dragging her to a police car a few metres away, banging her head repeatedly on the ground. After her release Zainab Al-Khawaja told Amnesty International that once she reached the police station, in the outskirts of Manama, she was punched in the head and kicked; Mas'uma Sayyid Sharaf was reportedly kicked and spat on.
Zainab Al-Khawaja was most recently arrested on 27 February 2013 and is now serving a total of three months and 22 days imprisonment in 'Issa Town Prison for women. On 27 February the Appeal Court had upheld a one-month sentence, issued on 10 December 2012 by the Lower Criminal Court, for "entering a restricted area" (the Pearl Roundabout). Zainab Al-Khawaja had already served eight days of this sentence before being released pending appeal. The following day she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment on 28 February by the Appeal Court in the capital, Manama, for "insulting an officer" after she was initially acquitted of the charges on 2 May 2012. Zainab Al-Khawaja has been arrested and released several times since December 2011.
Among the recommendations accepted by Bahrain in the Universal Periodic Review of 2012 are those calling on the government to abandon restrictions on human rights defenders. Since then, however, human rights defenders and other activists in Bahrain have continued to be harassed, arrested and even imprisoned for their human rights activities.
Two years after the uprising in Bahrain, and beneath the fanfare of subsequent reform, prisoners of conscience, including some arrested during the protests, remain behind bars and the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly continue to be suppressed. In recent months, not only have prisoners of conscience not been released, but more people have been jailed simply for daring to express their views, whether via Twitter or on peaceful marches. Bahraini courts have appeared more concerned with toeing the government's line than offering effective remedy to all Bahrainis and upholding the rule of law.
The Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) appointed by Royal Order on 29 June 2011 was charged with investigating and reporting on human rights violations committed in connection with the 2011 protests. At the launch of the BICI report in November 2011, the government publicly committed itself to implementing the recommendations set out in the report. The report recounted the government's response to the mass protests and documented wide-ranging human rights abuses. Among its key recommendations, the report called on the government to bring to account those responsible for human rights violations, including torture and excessive use of force, and carry out independent investigations into allegations of torture. However, many of the government's pledges remain unfulfilled. The establishment of BICI and its report was considered to be a groundbreaking initiative, but more than a year on, the promise of meaningful reform has been betrayed by the government's unwillingness to implement key recommendations around accountability; this includes its failure to carry out independent, effective and transparent investigations into allegations of torture and other ill-treatment and excessive use of force, and to prosecute all those who gave the orders to commit human rights abuses. For further information see Bahrain: Reform shelved, repression unleashed (MDE 11/062/2012), November 2012, http://amnesty.org/en/library/info/MDE11/062/2012/en.
Name: Zainab Al-Khawaja, Ma'suma Sayyid Sharaf Gender m/f: both female

The use of vegetable oils in the crop care industry is growing. Whilst their use as adjuvants is probably the best known, the oils themselves find applications varying from solvents, carriers and stickers to rainfastness additives. This page highlights some of our key products and their applications.
Refined oils
Refined vegetable oils are a biodegradeable, non-toxic, non-flammable alternative to mineral oils, with good compatibility with many agrochemical active ingredients. They can be used as a base solvent, not only as adjuvants, but also emulsifiable concentrates. Our range includes refined rapeseed, linseed, soyabean and sunflower oils, all of which have pale colours and have had free fatty acids and other impurities removed.
Emulsifiable oils
Seatons has developed a range of self-emulsifiable vegetable oils that can be emulsified with water to enable them to be sprayed with active ingredients in aqueous formulations. The range includes products which give emulsions varying from very stable (YS 870 series - several weeks) to fast breaking (Emoleo products - within hours).
Emulsifiable oils have also shown promising results when used in anti-drift, solvent and carrier applications. We have also developed two emulsifiable oils suitable for use as rainfastness additives, by applying surface coating technology to an crop care application. These are based on linseed oil and vary in their drying times.
Grades available include:
For rainfastness:
Blown oils
Vegetable oils can be oxidatively polymerised (blown) to give a range of products with increased viscosities. The oxidation process also modifies properties such as specific gravity, solubility and reactivity, and therefore blown rapeseed, soyabean and linseed oils may have uses in crop care formulations and solutions.
Boiled oils
These products are based on linseed oil. They have improved drying properties and whilst their traditional use is in surface coatings, they may well have applications in the crop care industry.
Stand oils
Stand oils are thermally polymerised vegetable oils, manufactured to give a range of viscosities. Again, properties such as specific gravity, solubility and reactivity are modified and both linseed and soyabean stand oils could be utilised in crop care applications.
The above oils have already generated considerable interest amongst crop care formulators for possible incorporation into their products. Most of them can be supplied in an emulsifiable form, if required.

Say Yeehaw to 2015 at Gilley's!
From 9 p.m. – 12 a.m. on New Year's Eve you can wet your whistle with an open bar. And a live country rock music band will get you on your feet and working up one heck of an appetite.
Rustle up some grub at the affordable open air BBQ kitchen. Just don't fill up too fast, mechanical bull rides are only $5! And we'd hate to see you lose your lunch before the big kiss at midnight. Speaking of kisses, what better place and time to plant one on your favorite filly than the outdoor viewing area while you watch the New Year's Eve fireworks over Las Vegas?
If the blasts aren't your thing, all night long TVs throughout the club will be showing celebrations from across the country. It's all at Gilley's on New Year's Eve. So get on down!
In a city that has longed to become more like Hollywood than the cow-town it started off as, it was no surprise that for a long period of time it was easier to find an all-night Italian rock bar that served rare sushi than it was to find a place where wearing a cowboy hat was acceptable.
But after spending the last 80 or so years getting away from Vegas' roots, the city has made being country cool again thanks to the sprouting of several country clubs -- like Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall and Bar-B-Q.
Once a proud staple at the New Frontier, it's now resides in the TI. So visitors to Las Vegas (whether they have a cowboy hat or not) can walk right off the Strip into an authentic country-style saloon complete with parquet dance floor, saddle bar stools and four statues of the iconic Jack Daniels himself.
And for those looking to take the country lifestyle one step further, you can try your luck at riding the mechanical bull. The bull is operated by a longtime professional mechanical bull operator (we didn't know there was such a profession) and has an inflatable ring around it for your safety and a waiver for you to sign for Gilley's safety.
But you don't have to have calluses on your hands and a wad of chew in your lip to get on this bull. On Sunday nights all you need is a bikini. The bikini bull riding competition often attracts about 20 competitors and, of course, a throng of male onlookers.
Much of the music played at Gilley's is, of course, country with a bit of rock mixed in, but some Top 40 is played sometimes depending on the crowd. So that means you should probably brush up on your two-step. But if you don't know how to line dance, come a little early (around 7 p.m.) on most nights and take part in the free lessons from a professional instructor.
Live bands play every Friday and Saturday night as well.
If you're just looking for a quick drink, or at least something to take with you, we suggest grabbing one of the boot souvenir cups, which are nearly 40 ounces.

UW-Eau Claire Student
Receives State Award
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: Nov. 19, 1998
EAU CLAIRE A University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire senior is the recipient of the 1998 Student Council for Exceptional Children Award for the state of Wisconsin.
Brad Martin, a special education and elementary education major from Blair, accepted the award Oct. 29 at the State Council for Exceptional Children Conference in Oshkosh.
A twice-elected state president of the Student Council for Exceptional Children, Martin also has been a residential treatment worker at the Eau Claire Academy. He has volunteered for Special Olympics and the Reading Partner Program, and is a co-author of an educational psychology text under the direction of UW-La Crosse faculty.
"It is an honor to be among the individuals who have won this award previously," said Martin, also a 1998 recipient of a UW-Eau Claire student leadership award.
This is the fourth consecutive time a student from UW-Eau Claire has received the award, an indication of the quality education and opportunities available to students here, said Greg Conderman, co-faculty sponsor of UW-Eau Claire's SCEC chapter and associate professor of special education.
"The students here have taken the initiative to become active in their profession," Conderman said. "They have created a vision for this university and indeed the state with their leadership."
Along with his involvement with SCEC at the state level, Martin works closely with the other officers at the local level by helping with fund-raising, community service projects and other executive board decisions, he said.
"Brad is very worthy of this special recognition," he said. "He is well respected among his peers and his professors. He is a super role model for other students."

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner
Day to day make-up wise I tend to stick to pretty much the same look – with the only thing that really changes is the amount of liner I wear. At the moment I've been loving a stronger eye look courtesy of this little bargain – the Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner from Maybelline. It's basically everything I want in a liquid eyeliner…
This is a felt-tip/pen style liner – which is my preferred style. I find the dipping brush ones much harder to use. The nib is very, very, fine – so if you just want a bit of extra definition it can be done, but the liquid is really pigmented – it doesn't need 'layering' to get it looking truly black and when it's on, it stays on – no smudging or creasing. In the swatches above I've done the one single line plus one where it's build up a bit more so you can see how black it is.
At just £5.99 I can't really ask for anything more from a liner…now all I need to do is master how to create more than just a line or a cat eye with it…!
Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner is £5.99 from Superdrug.com

|Tafkheem and Tarqeeq, part 1
The definition of tafkheem: Fattening
Its applied definition: It is a heaviness that enters the body of the letter, so that the mouth is filled with its reverberation (echo). The method of making a letter have the characteristic of tafkheem is: elevating the posterior tongue to the roof of the mouth (soft palate), creating more space between the roof of the mouth and the bottom of the mouth, and focusing the pressure of the letter to the roof of the mouth.
The linguistic definition of tarqeeq : Thinness
The Arabic letters are divided into three groups as to tafkheem and tarqeeq:
1. Letters that always have tafkheem. These are the seven letters in the group . They are also called the tafkheem letters.
2. Letters that have tafkheem sometimes and tarqeeq other times.
a) The lengthened alif.
b) The in the Glorious name of .
c) The
3. Letters that always have tarqeeq. This group consists of the rest of the Arabic alphabet.
The Letters That Always Have Tafkheem
The seven letters of group make up this category. The letters of are
Levels of Tafkheem
There are two different schools of thought when it comes to tafkheem. Both are correct, but the reader should follow one or the other in their reading.
Three Levels of Tafkheem
This school of thought has three different levels in tafkheem. The strongest being the tafkheem letter that has a fat-h, the second being the tafkheem letter with a dhammah, and the third level, the tafkheem letter with a kasrah. The saakin tafkheem letter follows the level of tafkheem of the vowel on the letter before it. This means if the tafkheem letter is saakin, and the letter before it has a fat-ha, then the tafkheem letter will be at the highest level of tafkheem (as the in: ) . The saakin letter of tafkheem preceded by a dhammah would have the second level of tafkheem (as the in : . The saakin tafkheem letter preceded by a kasrah is at the lowest level of tafkheem (such as the in : . Sheikh Mohammed Al-Mutawali described these levels in the following lines:
The one with a fath, then the dhammah, then the kasrah,
So what came before it in a vowel,
The Five Levels of Tafkheem
The second school of thought of tafkheem has five levels. The highest level being a tafkheem letter being followed by a long alif (for example the in: ). The second level is a tafkheem letter with a fathah on it (such as the and in: ). The next level that of a tafkheem letter having a dhammah (as in ). The next level is a tafkheem letter with a sukoon (for example ). And the last level, that of a tafkheem letter with a kasrah (such as the in: ). This school of thought as to tafkheem varies from the previous three level school in a few ways. First, the tafkheem letter with a fathah has two categories, that of a fath followed by an alif, and then a fathah not followed by an alif. This school also varies from the previous one in that the tafkheem letter with a sukoon has its own level of tafkheem, whereas the other school of thought has the saakin letter following the tafkheem level of the vowel on the letter preceding it. This means that there will be a difference of tafkheem between the saakin letters in this group, which are not affected by the vowel of the letter preceding it, and the other group which is totally affected by the vowel on the letter preceding it. For example, a saakin tafkheem letter preceded by a fathah in the three level school of thought, will have the highest ranking of tafkheem, whereas a saakin tafkheem letter of this five level school of thought, will have the 4th degree of tafkheem. Ash-Sheikh Al-Mutawali described the five levels of tafkheem in the following lines:
(and it is said, no the one with the fat-hah followed by an alif
the one with the dhammah, the saakin, the one with the kasrah;
and if it is in the lowest level

Even though the rules of EVE Online gameplay are broad, there are perfectly legal tactics some space factions eschew as ruthless, taboo, or unfair. This guide will explain five such techniques, designed to give the daring player an advantage in EVE PvP over opponents.
Honor is a strange concept in a game like EVE Online. EVE's open format allows for many approaches to game play and enables players to evaluate their success using self-defined metrics. Some players judge their success based on the number of friends they accrue or how much ISK is in their bank account. For others, 'winning' in EVE Online means racking up as many killmails and saved chat logs of crying carebears as possible, regardless of the means used. This guide is for the latter group.
Solo Maneuvers...
1. Warp Core Stabilizers
Warp core stabilizers are the original dishonorable PvP tactic in EVE, as people have been complaining about how 'unfair' they are since they were introduced with EVE Online's launch in 2003. The premise of the module is very simple: fit one to improve your resistance against warp disruption. In exchange, you suffer a penalty to your scan resolution, meaning it takes longer for you to lock targets. This is a small price to pay for a modification that allows you to disengage from a battle and run at any time (so long as you have more warp core stabilizers than there are warp disruptors targeting you). Despite their blackened reputation, warp core stabilizers see regular use, especially by solo EVE PvPers in low security space.
To take advantage of this tactic, try using the set-up described in our guide to flying the solo gank Raven. Swap out a low slot for a warp core stabilizer and either deal with your reduced lock speed or switch to friend-or-foe missiles. FoF missiles automatically return fire on ships attacking you without locking a target. Though their haphazard nature makes them useless against groups, if there is only one target (and that target does not have drones), your missiles will hit them. This is also helpful if the target has a buddy in an ECM ship that prevents you from targeting him (more about this, later).
2. The Faithless Ransom
You'll recognize this next maneuver from both EVE Online and from classic movie villains.
Asking for a ransom in exchange for sparing targets was once a common practice amongst EVE Online pirates, who back in the day would actually attempt to make a living via piracy. Nowadays, EVE PvP is something you spend ISK on, rather than earn it. Still, there are many pirates that solicit ransoms when they have a helpless target. You should do that, too. Except you should blow them up, anyway.
Be sure to twirl your mustache and caper off, afterwards. Perhaps you might paste a tasteful ASCII image into local chat.
