Public procurement the purchase of goods and services by governments and state-owned enterprises accounts for about 15 per cent of GDP in OECD countries and is highly exposed to corruption. Both public and private actors in the procurement process may be tempted to divert goods and services or public funds for their personal use.
To identify weak links in the public procurement process where the risk of corruption is high, to explore the best ways of improving transparency and accountability and to identify effective actions to prevent, detect and sanction corruption in this field, the OECD organised a Global Forum on Governance event on Fighting Corruption and Promoting Integrity in Public Procurement, hosted by the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry in Paris in November 2004.
This publication captures the main points of the Global Forum discussions and presents expert analysis of the main issues and case studies from the varied experiences of countries and specialised bodies, mainly in Europe, Asia and Latin America, that contributed to the event.

There are many reasons why you should bet on sports (and maybe one or two why you shouldn't), but the bigger question is why you should be at home. Let's see, home vs. a casino or the tracks or a down town smoked up basement with wall papers from the '60s.
We can honestly say that 21st century broad band internet can give you the same and way more simply by staying at home. Or… maybe you're an old school guy (or girl) and prefer to do things like they used to be.
So, here are a few points to why you should and shouldn't bet at home:
Marital stability: If you get drunk and end up in bed with the waitress, its ok, she's your wife
Hi-tech: Card tables don't have off buttons in the real world
Comfort: No one's going to stop you betting in your pajamas
Recovery: If you lose big you can just put your head under the pillow
Reputation: Never meet your boss at the casino right after asking for a raise
Marital stability 2: Spending too much time at home with your wife can harm your marriage
Reputation 2: You can call in sick and bet at home without the risk of bumping in the casino into someone you know, at working hours.
Privacy: Your wife will know when you win big. She always does. She will want her share.
Responsibility: If you don't manage to get a bet placed on time you can't blame the queues at the bookies
Mould: This is what starts growing on your back when you don't leave the house for three days
Security: Kids can place bets at home online too… and they're not always winners
Mobile: Download an app, bet anywhere, anytime. Why bet at home?
Reputation: Calling in sick three times a week so you can bet at home may get you fired.
If you have more ideas please send us and if they're good (but really good) we'll load them with a big thanks to you.
Enjoy and good luck!

There's something magical about the forest, but people often need a little help seeing these natural monuments in a different light. Like these gorgeous giant wind chimes, A Path in the Forest is designed to shift how people experience the heavily-wooded Kadriorg park.
By winding the artificial trail in and amongst the old-growth forest, gradually working its way up into the canopy, the designers gave people get a more intimate view of the leaves and bark previously only seen from below. The path, somewhat akin to a scribble in its loose form, is supported by a steel tube attached to the tree trunks. This absence of obvious structural support definitely reinforces the feeling that one is floating amidst the trees, creating a leafy exploration that no one is likely to forget. If you're in Tallinn before 22 October, 2011, be sure to drop by before the installation is removed.

By David O. Heishman
The winter of 2013/2014 will go down in my personal history as the beginning of my feeling really old. 2014 part was especially cold, snowy, nasty. Not just unpleasant, but harsh, grinding, tiring.
I've moved more snow, chopped more ice, picked up more broken branches and spread more salt other winters. This year I learned to conserve strength and stamina by ignoring unimportant snowy/icy patches that I used to clear religiously. I've learned to sit in my recliner and relax with a book or computer while ice is still hard, waiting for a bit of afternoon thaw before I go back out with chopper and shovel. I've tempered youth and enthusiasm with experience and wisdom.
Several months, maybe a year or two ago, I had a spell of old man aches and pains, gripes and grumps. Hard to get up without staggering a little and hard to sit down without an ungainly plop. Pain getting up and stiff movement of rusty joints until I got moving when things smoothed out.
I complained about it next Veteran's Administration clinic visit. My practitioner prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen. WOW! That stuff had me out digging post holes and picking beans without a twinge. Even found out it worked great after an afternoon of snow shoveling. Worked so good, it was scary. I quit taking it. Only once in a while when I caught myself stretching out for the night with nagging discomforts, I'd pop one. Near instant relief and sound sleep were my rewards. Still, I don't like excess pills.
I like them better now. After this winter, I've become more of a believer. Wake up mornings extra ouchy from yesterday's shoveling and a regular, over-the-counter dose greases my skids. Nights, after a day of strain, the heavyweight stuff goes into action. I'm due for another clinic visit soon. I'll likely ask for another bottle.
I burned more fuel this winter. Not just because of cold weather, but age rears its ugly head again there too. As Mom aged, she complained more and more about cold feet and legs in Big House. One of biggest reasons she moved out during winters after Pap died was to get to warmer floors. He'd start fires when he got out and moving mornings. She'd get up and begin breakfast while he was still at the barn after house had warmed a little. But still during days at home she'd wear big socks, solid shoes and long pants just to fight the cold.

For individuals who are interested in making either personal changes or a public difference, yoga classes may be the perfect place to start.
Such was the thrust of an article recently published in the Vancouver Courier, which profiled activist and yoga instructor Michael Stone. The long-time enthusiast told the newspaper that he has always felt a connection between the inner life cultivated in yoga class and the external, interpersonal energy found in volunteerism.
"When people start to deepen their yoga practice, they start to make contact with deeper values in their life," Stone told the Courier. "When you start going inward, you naturally also start going outward."
The instructor plans to deliver a lecture on this topic at this year's Yoga Conference and Show. Stone will touch on the relevance of the Occupy Wall Street movement to the daily lives of yoga practitioners everywhere.
Whether it's for public or personal change management, doing Dahn Yoga's stretches, poses and mindfulness meditation is an effective way to discover what you are truly capable of. As an added bonus, the mind-body regimen may be performed nearly anywhere, from a packed convention center to the crowded street corners of Occupy Atlanta.

Stanley I Resume; Further recollections of an exuberant life
This second volume of rip-roaring and hilarious recollections from Stanley Johnson begins with him falling out of a tree on his 40th birthday, then picks up where its acclaimed predecessor, Stanley I Presume, left off. Stanley discovers he is descended from George II; is further outgunned by his clan of outrageously talented children which includes a columnist, a Member of Parliament, a banker, a singer, a sustainability expert and, oh yes, a Mayor of London; masterminds a successful campaign to end seal hunting in Canada; writes half a dozen thriller novels, one of which is made into a movie, and is awarded prizes by Greenpeace, the RSPCA and WWF for his conservation work.
This latest highly entertaining chapter in Stanley's life story (which he threatens 'may not necessarily be the last') is a treat for those who enjoyed the anecdotal style of its predecessor, and demonstrates that Stanley continues to keep his hat well and truly in the ring, as a politician, environmentalist, author, raconteur and a true original.

UNEP The First 40 Years; A Narrative by Stanley Johnson
To mark its 40th anniversary, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has sponsored a new book detailing the history of the Nairobi-based organization over the last four decades.Written by award-winning conservationist Stanley P Johnson, the book charts the evolution of UNEP from its inception at the landmark Stockholm conference of 1972 to its position today at the heart of the global environmental movement. Entitled: "The First 40 Years; A Narrative", the book - which is not an official UN history but the view of its world-acclaimed author - explains in depth UNEP's role at the forefront of efforts to protect the environment and is stuffed with interesting facts and figures.

Where the wild things were
In this volume of collected travel and environmental journalism, Stanley travels from Exmoor to Ecuador, India to Istanbul, and across many other routes. He is charged at by mountain gorillas, encounters pandas, tigers, blue-footed boobies and the elusive blue whale. Dauntless, he climbs Kilimanjaro, catches cold at the Glastonbury festival, tracks down his ancestors in Turkey and meets legendary environmentalists such as Jane Goodall.
Behind the infectious Johnson humour, there lies the deep passion of a man who has spent his life in search of wild places and wild animals, and is committed to their defence. Reading this book, it is impossible not to catch the thrill.
** BUY Where the wild things were
Our ruthless exploitation of the natural world has already driven many wild animals to the brink of extinction. Among the most threatened are many migratory species, whether avian, terrestrial or marine. Because in most cases these species cross national boundaries, the need for international conservation efforts is particularly great. Albatrosses and petrels, migratory water-birds and raptors, whales, dolphins and other marine ammals; antelopes and forest elephants and even gorillas – these are just some of the key species that are the subject of this meticulously researched and richly illustrated book.
Produced in conjunction with a UN agency, this book is both an informative warning against the threat facing many species and a stunning celebration of their beauty.

Stanley I Presume
Published March 19th 2009
A rip-roaring and hilarious memoir from Stanley Johnson - father of London mayor Boris Johnson. Stanley's story begins with a loud bang - when his father, an RAF pilot in the Second World War, crash-lands a Wellington bomber on a Devon airfield. A few years later Stanley's parents buy a sheep farm on nearby Exmoor, where Stanley does much of his growing up. Stanley would keep his links with this much-loved rural idyll throughout his life - while going on to become an explorer, author, occasional politician and also one of the world's first environmentalists. A sparkling raconteur and experienced thriller writer, in Stanley I Presume great stories are told in great style. On leaving school in 1958 Stanley travelled alone through South America - hitching rides across the jungle on Brazilian Air Force planes - and shortly afterwards he rode a motorcycle 4,000 miles from London to Afghanistan, tracing the route of Marco Polo with two friends. After winning Oxford University's poetry prize with a love poem - written following a hilltop tryst in the West Country - Stanley went on to do various adventurous jobs, before working for the billionaire John D Rockefeller 3rd, the World Bank, the United Nations and the European Union. Stanley married and started a family young - Boris was born in New York when his father was 23 - and while Boris would go on to become big news, the family's forbears also provide quite a story, as Stanley finds out. For the Johnson family's roots are not just in the West Country, but in Turkey too - where, as Stanley discovers, his politician grandfather Ali Kemal was torn to pieces by an angry mob. Stanley visits a Turkish village where the locals are blonde - later he learns that he and Boris are direct descendants of George II.

"Poet, explorer, irresistibly funny... This lovely book reflects its author's delightful personality" - ESTHER RANTZEN
"Boris has done for Livingstone; now it's Stanley's turn. There's no-one I'd rather go into the jungle with" - JOAN BAKEWELL
"From the early days of running across a mat of spring flowers at the stadium at Olympia, to a standing ovation at the Berlin Film Festival, via the politics and people of his time, Stanley Johnson's life sparkles with a joy of living. He writes with the wit and humour of a true raconteur. Stanley, I Presume, is a fascinating read of a fascinating life" - ZOE WANAMAKER
"Stanley I Presume is funny and engaging. It reveals not only the person but also his many talents, passions and adventures, from novelist to secret service agent, poet to population activist and explorer to Eurocrat. And it also reveals why the Mayor of London is called Boris" - TONY JUNIPER

Former YEF Scholarship Recipient Jose De Leon, was recently featured in an article in Today's Catholic. José a high school teacher at St. Gerard Catholic High School, carefully monitors the progress of each student at St. PJ's. He offers individualized instruction on core curriculum to students.
De Leon, who formerly worked with at-risk students in the South San Independent School District, embraces his ministry of teaching at St. PJ's. "My position at St. PJ's has been a blessing," he said. I'm in a position to both educate and mentor young adults with troubling backgrounds. These are the target students who need special attention to get back on track to an educated, stable and healthy life. It is truly rewarding work to be a positive influence in all of their lives." De Leon's use of Differentiated Instruction (DI) has proven immensely successful. Rivera remarked of De Leon, "His success rate with previous students made him a natural fit for the satellite campus."

I thought you'd all like to hear briefly about this. On my second day of inservice, I sat through a presentation on how our campus is going to phase in an Incident Command Response System, similar to what law enforcement agencies use.
Supposedly the system is to address situations like shootings, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, chemical spills, the propane tank across the street exploding, etc.
Of course I had to bite my tongue. My thinking was "How the devil is this honestly going to help when some guy that loses a custody battle comes in here and starts shooting people, including his own kid?"
But there is some value in it. For example we are going to develop more elaborate plans for what to do if the school has to be used as an emergency shelter, and someone is going to have to do an inventory of our food supplies on hand, our capability of mobilizing the school buses as emergency transportation, etc.
One thing that really stood out for me was they even discussed incidents of school centered disasters where it took law enforcement and other emergency services three hours to respond. Maybe it's a step in the right direction and they'll realize that we might very well be on our own when Hadji come's a knockin'.
One thing I thought was kind of, well interesting for lack of a better word, is that all this organization is supposed to form the school faculty into a structure that mimics what a law enforcement agency does command chain wise in a crisis situation so that we may respond like law enforcement would in a crisis situation. Hey if I can do something to help be a first responder then sign me up, but I think I'm in the minority on that one.

With a backlog of over 600,000 unprocessed claims, it has long been the case that U.S. Military Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have had to wait months and even years for their disability benefits to begin – even those Veterans with the most obvious and serious injuries and illnesses have not yet received relief.
In fact, there are Veterans from both the Vietnam and the Desert Storm wars that continue to wait as well. This backlog (or waiting game) has caused great financial and emotional strain on wounded veterans and their families.
Even more disturbing are the statistics from the VA that estimate one in four homeless adults living on the street are U.S. Military Veterans from as far back as World War II (an estimated 200,000 people). The current wars, alone, have produced over 1500 homeless Veterans. It is a national disgrace.
However, there are benefits available to you, and the attorneys at DeHaanBusse LLP also are available to you to help you obtain those benefits.
What Benefits Are Available? . . .
Disabled Veterans are eligible for a number of federal programs including:
- 1.) Disabled Transition Assistance Program (DTAP) – put in place to guide you through the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program, and to facilitate those benefits;
- 2.) VA Disability Benefits – provides mandatory medical care for service-connected disability (also provides medical care for non-service connected care, but in those cases, Veterans must make a co-payment);
- 3.) Disability Compensation – provides monetary compensation to Veterans who became disabled as a result of active-duty service;
- 4.) Vocational Rehabilitation – this program's goal is to provide necessary resources to Veterans with service-related disabilities to help them acclimate back into civilian life. Benefits might include college, technical training, or special on-the-job vocational training at home for those severely disabled;
- 5.) Disabled Veterans Insurance – Both disabled and non-disabled Veterans may apply for life insurance coverage. Those Veterans who are totally disabled, may apply for up to $20,000 in this coverage and premiums on the first $10,000 will be waived.
I Have Been Diagnosed With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) . . .
It has been estimated that over 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans returning stateside have been diagnosed with PTSD, and many more go undiagnosed altogether.
Often, Veterans affected by PTSD attempting to obtain VA benefits have a difficult time proving disability and obtaining their benefits. As PTSD is categorized as a mental illness, the symptoms are not always obvious, nor do they manifest early on. Therefore, if you suspect you are suffering from PTSD, seek medical help immediately.
Gulf War Syndrome . . .
The Military and the scientific community have consistently denied any link between the Gulf War and the collection of illnesses and conditions many have attributed to it (known as Gulf War Syndrome). That all changed on November 17, 2008, when a scientific panel mandated by Congress issued a report stating that Gulf War Syndrome is, in fact, real. Researchers now believe that Gulf War Syndrome is a result of exposure to pyridostigmine bromide, a drug the Military gave to troops to protect them against nerve gas and pesticides.
Among the many disorders associated with Gulf War Syndrome are memory loss, muscle pain, constant headaches, gastro problems, chronic fatigue, rashes, neurological disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and menstrual disorders. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and believe you may have been exposed to pyridostigmine bromide, seek medical care immediately.

I am creating a deployment for the Autodesk Product Design Suite. While configuring the Vault Basic 2013, under Service Packs, it shows "This product is up-to-date. No Service Pack is available". But, actually there are some hotfixes that I would like to include with this installation. I cant add them because the button is not available.
I also have another product (autocad Electrical) under a different license. When I run the create deployment using these DVD's I can configure Vault to include the hotfixes I need. But I cant use this license with my other products (says the serial number is not correct).
My question is how do I include the hotfixes with my APDS deployment? It is like its not recognizing that there are actually hotfixes available for it.
Since Inventor 2013 is now at Update 2, I would like to add this to the deployment. When I modify the deployment and get into the Inventor configuration, it will not allow me to add any service packs. It says the product is Up to date.
Hello Kirk:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are currently investigating.
I was able to replicate the issue you reported using the Product Design Suite Installer just as you described.
The same thing happened using the Electrical installer it showed the product was up-to-date just like the above.
You used the Electrical DVDs so there might be a difference there.
I will keep you updated on the findings.

Have we found a solution to add service packs to existing deployments as I have an AutoCAD 2013 deployment that won't allow me to add service pack 1.
I have the same problem here. i try to create a depolyment for vault collaboration client 2013 (64 bits and 32 bits) but I can't add service pack 1 (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?si
The installer doesn't find any service pack on autodesk site and so don't allow to add manually the service pack already doanloaded. Is there any solution ?
In all honesty, adding a service pack to your installation typically causes 1603 errors during installation. This is especially true if you are installing more than one product with AutoCAD verticals. At least for the 2013 release, I recommend your deployment be service pack free and install it afterwards. Typically, I just place the service pack in the deployment folder so I can run it post-install.
I know that there is a problem when multiple versions of Autocad are installed because the first service pack is applied then for the next vertical products, the base autocad is no more a base autocad because it has some files modified by the service pack, so you can't add service packs for Autocad.
In my case it's different because it's vault, and the installer should "see" first service pack on autodesk servers, I don't understand why it doesn't. Anyway I managed to include the service pack by shutting down the internet access so that the installer can't check the servers and let me add manually the SP I downloaded
The installation ran fine after that.
Thanks for sharing! That's a pretty good idea.

New Product Review:
Cherry Turnover Pop-Tarts
From Kellogg'sReviewed by Mr Breakfast on 10/7/2011
The complete name of this limited edition product is Frosted Cherry Turnover Pop-Tarts. The box notes that it's "baked with real fruit" and it's "naturally & artificially flavored."
I don't really understand why this product exists. Kellogg's already makes a Frosted Cherry Pop-Tart with a similar taste and roughly the same nutritional profile. The only difference I can really find is that this Pop-Tart has less frosting - a drizzle instead of a coating.
Maybe it's meant to appeal to people who really like cherry blossoms. The box is lovely. Maybe somebody at Kellogg's got really excited when they realized their Pop-Tart looks a little like a cherry turnover when it's folded in half with a drizzle of frosting (see turnover pic on box below). Maybe, they're just trying to remind us that their Cherry Pop-Tarts are pretty tasty.
I write this as a guy who likes Cherry Pop-Tarts. So, I was pretty satisfied. I did missed the layer of frosting. For nutritional reasons, I don't eat Pop-Tarts often. When I do, I appreciate the indulgence of the frosting.
The filling, I believe, is the same. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Both the regular frosted cherry pastry and this product specify that they're made with real fruit. They both taste the same. For my money, they are the same.
And there you have it... some five paragraphs basically saying, "What's the point?"
It's a tasty pastry. It's good toasted and it's good straight from the box... just like its twin brother.
I'm giving this product the same score I'd give regular Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts, minus one for befuddling me.
Nutritional Considerations: Each single pastry serving has 190 calories, 3.5 grams total fat (1 gram saturated and 0 grams trans), 37 grams total carbs, less than 1 gram dietary fiber, 16 grams sugar and 2 grams protein.
The price we paid: $2.49
Comments About This Product ReviewBy Tammyj
What do you think of Cherry Turnover Pop-Tarts?
I need them back! Loved that they weren't covered with all that hard icing. They just had a little drizzle of the icing on top reminded me of the plain Cherry they used to make. But these were better!

By Greg M.
Cherry Turnover Pop-Tarts are good. The limited edition caught my eye. After popping one in the toaster it actually smelled and tasted like a cherry turnover. Very good.

HELSINKI, Finland -- Wärtsilä, a global supplier of power plant and ship power solutions and services, has signed a turnkey contract to supply a LNG receiving terminal to be built in Tornio, northern Finland.
The contract, valued at approximately EUR 100 million, has been made with Manga LNG Oy, a joint venture between the Finnish companies Outokumpu Group, Ruukki Metals Oy, Gasum Oy and EPV Energy Ltd. The contract is conditional on receipt of investment support and Manga LNG Oy's contracts with other parties, including the gas suppliers.
The main user of the natural gas from the terminal will be the Outokumpu Tornio steel mill, but industries, mines, and other potential gas consumers in the region will also be served. The terminal may also eventually supply LNG to ships, such as the new icebreaker planned to operate in the Tornio and Bay of Bothnia region.

How to lose weight quickly after baby?
I am almost 5 months PP and I had crazily gained 65 pounds total over the prenancy and I have postpartum depression very badly but just got help for it a couple weeks ago and got put on wellbutrin. I let it go too far before admitting it an asking for help. I had dropped 25 pounds within the first 3 weeks then because of the depression I gained it all back and I'm only down 7 pounds total from the 65 I gained. I breastfeed exclusively for the first 3.5 months then I've weaned it down to only once a day now. My diet is very healthy and I was walking atleast 3 days a week when the weather was nice. I'm at loss what's the best way to get this weight off. I was always a size 4 and now that I'm a 14-15 I'm not comfy at all and I just do t know the proper ways or a good specific diet or routine to shed this weight quickly. I'd love to be back to my size by may or June. Any help appreciated thank you

To heal and lose weight, a woman would also have to overcome mental and emotional fatigue. To cope with this,she has to find some time for herself. Experts recommend at least 45 minutes of recreational time. During this time, reading, a leisurely walk, catching up with friends or any activity not centered on baby would be beneficial.posted 07/08/2013 by curebackpain
Increase breastfeeding! It takes a lot of calories to provide milk, so if you're abe to do it, it's one of the easier ways to lose weight. Another thing is to start tracking what you eat, and how many calories are in it. There are lots of free websites for that. Sometmes we eat something we don't realize has a lot of calories in it, or we're eating more than we realize. Tracking helps. I wish you success!posted 01/06/2013 by Llimi
I breastfed my son until he was one and I ate healthy and walked and still had trouble getting off the weight one thing that did work really well for me though was a body wrap, its 100% natural and you can see results in as soon as 45min! and no its not water weight ..it helps tighten tone and firm you body, and honestly after our tummys have had a baby in them they can use a little help. and seeing the fast results may also boost your self esteem and in turn help with your depression.They also have other products like fatfighters or thermofit that may help too..keep your head up girl you will get your sexy back :) check out this website https://www.wrapyourskinnyback.myitworks.composted 01/29/2013 by sweetmusick88
Seriously, breastfeeding. I'm 2 months pp and I've lost all my pregnancy weight. My DD cluster feeds, but it's been awesome for my body.posted 01/18/2013 by AslynLapham
If you have the extra money, you should join weight watchers. Otherwise go back to breastfeeding exclusively, that is how I lost the 30 pounds I gained.posted 01/07/2013 by kmmedrano

Beyoncé Models Jay Z's Barneys Collection
Jay Z launched his BNY SCC designer collection with Barneys New York on Wednesday. Later in the evening, Beyoncé was by her man's side at the launch event at the flagship store on Madison Avenue. There was little fanfare as the couple held court with some of the designers.
Mrs. Carter also showed support for her man on Instagram, modeling items from the New York-inspired collection including a Moncler puffer varsity jacket ($2,300), python-brimmed leather "Brooklyn" cap ($875), Elder Statesman cashmere ski mask ($700), and gold New York City ring ($12,500).
Following claims that Barneys employees racially profiled black customers, Jay Z decided to move forward with the collaboration, but with new terms. As part of the deal, Barneys will donate 100% of sales from the BNY SCC collection to The Shawn Carter Foundation.
Jay Z vowed to tackle the controversy head on. "I am in a unique position to use my voice to affect change to this disturbing issue," he said in a statement. "I will not leave the outcome to others."
A larger event was planned to kick off the collaboration, but was canceled in the aftermath of the allegations.

Plastic teethers are easy to find, but those rubbery chew toys crowding your diaper bag and utensil drawer can potentially off-gas, emit toxins and pose choking hazards to baby.
That's why we love this find ($12) from Little Alouette--aside from the adorable moustache shape, it's handmade from locally sourced Ohio timber, so it's BPA- and PVC-free. It comes unfinished (we like the classic, natural look!), and you can pay a little extra for a certified organic flaxseed oil coating to preserve the wood from baby's saliva and skin oils.
A bonus: A percentage of every purchase is donated to Tree Pals, a Maryland-based outdoor education charity for youngsters.
What do you think of this whimsical teether? Chime in below!

Pyramid Research Releases 2013 Top Trends for the Global Communications Industry
Boston, Massachusetts- January 15, 2013- Emerging markets will continue to be the driver of growth in the converged global communications, media and technology industries, which will reach the 7 billion mobile subscription mark in December 2013. Furthermore, growth in emerging market service revenue will outpace growth in developed market service revenue by 5:1, according to a new report just released by Pyramid Research.
Pyramid Perspective 2013: Top Trends in the Global Communications Industry provides a collection of key insights on top market trends, written by Pyramid's worldwide team of research analysts and consultants. Pyramid's market analysis, powered by our bottom-up methodology of our forecasts for more than 100 countries, is uniquely positioned across emerging markets, emerging technologies, and emerging business models. Register to download the full report.
"Reaching the 7 billion mobile subscription mark by year's end is particularly significant because it translates into a 100 percent penetration mark," says Daniel Amparan, Managing Director for Pyramid Research. "Mobile subscribers in the Africa & Middle East region will surpass the 1 billion mark in the first quarter, making it the second region to reach this milestone after Asia-Pacific."
"Exposure to emerging markets has become a critical factor for success in an industry characterized by stagnation in developed markets, intense competition, consumer choice and disruptive business models," notes Amparan. "While telecom service revenue in emerging markets will increase five times faster than in developed markets this year, nearly 90 percent of the 2 billion subscribers to come online in the next five years will reside in emerging markets," Amparan explains. "This trend will make mobile service revenue in emerging markets in 2015 larger than mobile service revenue in developed markets for the first time ever."

Deaths of poisoned coyotes have Carpinteria ranchers worried
Published On: Dec 24 2013 02:28:07 AM CST
Updated On: Aug 17 2013 07:17:14 PM CDT
Updated On: Aug 17 2013 07:17:14 PM CDT
A Carpinteria rancher reacts to the news of a third coyote death due to poisoning, wondering if there is irresponsible use of pesticide poisons in the area. He fears the natural balance of predators and prey will be effected, as food supply brings more wildlife closer to homes near ranch areas.
He shows NewsChannel 3 other more natural ways of protecting his ranch and controlling rats population.

Answer #1irvtech April 27, 2009, 23:34Journeyman
There are special tools for removing and installing the pulley on your vehicle. It is best you call around to your local equipment rental facilities to rent them. To purchase the tools would not make sense to only use them once. When you install the pulley on the new pump, be sure to set the depth right. If you don't, you will shorten belt life.

Amazing Stainless Steel Cleaner / Polish That Really Works
Posted by
After a recent kitchen upgrade I went with all new stainless steel appliances. They look beautiful but show fingerprints and smudges. Most can be removed with soapy dishwater or Windex. While removing it the shine is now dulled. The front of my dishwasher had water stains which could not be removed by this method. The stove had some grease stains especially around the dials. I tried a variety of stainless steel cleaners & polishes. Either the cleaner didn't work or the polish left streaks. When applying you had to continuously rub and change rags. A lot of effort for marginal results.
While shopping at Home Depot I spotted this new product called "Steel Meister." It's a little pricey, $9.95 for 9.5 ounces. That's almost a dollar an ounce. You need very little of this product, it goes a long way. I was astonished with the results. It instantly removed the grease, smudges and grime with one stroke. A microscopic coating absorbs into the surface and prevents their return. It left a brilliant shine. This product also works on all metal, copper, chrome and fiberglass surfaces. If you have stainless steel appliances this is a must try.

Great Mrs JKT will like this. Thanks

You have a knack for finding great products! I'm still amazed by the results of Bar Keepers Helper.
I don't have stainless appliances but will certainly keep this in mind. It sounds like the perfect product for stainless steel.
I hope your wife appreciates that you care about the kitchen. No offense guys, but a lot men couldn't care less.
Nohandle on 01/01/2012:
I'm wondering how this will work for cooking pots and pans? I have some that have grease stains and the like especially on large frying pans. Yes, they are clean but if you scrub too harshly the shine in that area will finally disappear. Have you had any experience on something like that using the recommended product? I don't mind some extra elbow grease if the end result is it looks like new.
trmn8r on 01/01/2012:
Awesome review!
As you say, it sounds pricey but it wouldn't be unless you are pouring it on. 1 ounce would clean a fair amount of nominal grease away in the home.
ok4now on 01/02/2012:
Keep in mind that this product is not a degreaser for really heavy tough baked on stains. There are other products that address this. What this product does extremely well is clean normal dirt, light grease and hard water stains with minimal effort. It leaves a high gloss shine that will protect the finish.
You caught me Venice. I am somewhat of a clean freak (not anal) who really likes a clean house. I do all of the food shopping, cooking and laundry. I do not view this as the "woman's job." A marriage is an equal partnership where both have to contribute. So far this is working well for me.
Venice09 on 01/02/2012:
You're definitely a keeper ok4now. Your wife is a lucky lady.
Ohio Buckeye on 03/05/2012:
!00% worth the money. Cleaning process easy and the shine resist the fingerprints too.

Notre Dame could be running into trouble with Michigan State
BY LAMOND POPE Sun-Times Media September 17, 2013 8:34PM

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The numbers are imposing.
Michigan State limited Western Michigan to 11 rushing yards on Aug. 30. The next week, the Spartans held South Florida to 89 yards on the ground. Youngstown State rushed for only 51 yards Saturday.
No. 22 Notre Dame (2-1) knows that jump-starting its running game won't be easy this Saturday against the Spartans (3-0).
''They make it very difficult to run the football,'' Irish coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday. ''You've got to find ways to manufacture runs.''
Michigan State is fourth in the nation in rushing defense, allowing 50.3 yards per game. Opponents are averaging 1.8 yards per carry. The Spartans lead the country in total defense, surrendering just 177 yards per game.
''Our defensive football team does a great job of not taking anything for granted and adjusting to who they play every week,'' Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. ''I think that's experience [the team has seven returning starters on defense]. That's a level of confidence. That's being in the same system. So all those things I think are very, very positive for us.''
Notre Dame is 92nd in the country in rushing offense at 125 yards per game. The Irish had 188 rushing yards in the opener against Temple but haven't cracked 100 yards the last two weeks.
Four running backs got carries Saturday against Purdue. The Irish finished with 91 rushing yards.
Notre Dame has had balance in carries by its more experienced backs. Amir Carlisle leads with 148 rushing yards on 30 attempts. Cam McDaniel is next with 125 yards on 29 carries. He had a team-high 56 yards and one touchdown against the Boilermakers. George Atkinson III has 98 yards on 18 carries.
''They are all contributing. I think we'll continue to see it week‑to‑week,'' Kelly said. ''Next week, maybe we'll talk about somebody else. We just think we have got a lot of guys that can contribute, and they are all going to have roles.
''I don't know that we are going to have one guy that we put up there and say, 'He's the guy.' I think they are all going to contribute in some fashion.''
Note: Defensive lineman Sheldon Day sprained his ankle Saturday. He was in a walking boot Tuesday but is expected to have it off and practice today.
