Succubus (Warrior Kings)
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
Warrior Kings is a real-time strategy video game, developed by Black Cactus and published by Microïds in 2002. The game, set in a fantasy medieval world, focuses on the concepts of pagan tribalism, renaissance enlightenment, and imperialist theocracy.
There are three different paths to chose in this game: 'Pagan', 'Imperial' and 'Renaissance', each with its own unique values, style of war, and storyline.

Warrior Kings started life at the back-end of Eidos plc's title: Plague, the first large-scale full 3D strategy title featured at E3/LA in 1997. Plague was originally designed by Dave Morris from a concept by Ian Livingstone, and the technology was designed and developed by Sam Kerbeck. When Eidos closed the internal game development division at its corporate HQ in 1999, the Plague team transferred to a new company, Black Cactus, which continued to develop the game, now titled Warrior Kings, initially with investment from Eidos. With the winding-up of Black Cactus in January 2005, rights in the game reverted to Dave Morris.
The story resolves around Artos, the young son of Baron Amalric of Cravant, a small fiefdom within the Holy Empire, the dominant power in a world called Orbis. The Holy Empire is a theocratic state (seemingly an amalgamation of the Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire and the Papal States) devoted called a deity called 'The One God'. It is ruled by a spiritual and militant leader, the Patriarch and the Holy Protector respectively. The new Patriarch, Icthyus Granitas, is cruel and corrupt and the Holy Protector is nothing more than his henchman. As soon as he came to power he began charging all those who speak against his rule with false charges of heresy and treason to the state. These lords either changes their minds overnight about the Patriarch or else disappeared entirely.
Cravant is one such state. On the first level of the game, Cravant is invaded by the Empire, who kill Artos's father on a trumped up charge of treason and raze the city. Artos flees with a small band of loyal soldiers across the sea to Angland (a fictionalised England) where he plots his revenge against the Empire.
From there, the player can decide how they do this. There are three 'alignments' that the player can choose from that are listed below. These are Pagan, Imperial and Renaissance.
The Pagan path
The Pagan path is one of superstition, witchcraft, and nature worship. Pagan war involves cheap mass-produced units in combination with indirect damage to one's opposition. The successful pagan player is one who tests enemy borders on a regular basis and then moves to overwhelm it while not counting the cost. Pagan signature units are its demons and witches, all of which have a series of secondary powers and spells to employ against their foes. Once they have become suitably advanced the Pagans may construct a Wickerman and summon a demon called Abaddon, a powerful AI controlled unit that can cause a lot of damage before being destroyed.
The Imperial path
Imperial warfare involves expensive, well-armoured troops and strong fortifications. The successful Imperial player waits and watches behind thick, protective walls until the enemy makes a critical error, then punishes them for it. Signature units for the Imperials are its Priests, Bishops and Inquisitors, who can pray at churches to activate 'Acts of God' to unleash upon their enemies. As with the Pagans, the Imperials can build an Archangel Statue later on in the game and summon an Archangel named the Sword of God, who acts in a similar fashion to Abaddon.
The Renaissance path
The path of the Renaissance is one of human ingenuity and humanity. The Renaissance means giving up some offensive and defensive capability, but with it comes outstanding economy and powerful siegecraft. The Renaissance player knows the enemy and adjusts accordingly. Renaissance players are made unique by their access to gunpowder units, such as gunners and cannons. Though they do not have a demon or angel to aid them, Renaissance players can construct a series of siege engines such as trebuchets, mangonels and even primitive rocket launchers that more than compensate for this loss.
Military power
Winning in Warrior Kings is not about who has more troops but rather who has better tactics. From higher ground arrows travel farther, flat ground allows mounted troops to move faster.
Troop formation is also a factor; troops will gain more attack power in a vangard, move faster in a pillar, cover more ground in a line, and balance damage to them better in an orb.
Succubi and their role in this game
Succubus is a unit available to Pagan players through the Henge (which are constructed by the High Priestess). Succubi are able to charm enemy units, thus making them switch to the player's side, possess a unit and make him commit acts of heresy to stop opposing peasants from working, and send enemy units into a rage, where they will attack anyone near them
In 2003, the game was followed up by a sequel, Warrior Kings: Battles.

Click '2' Care
domiciliary care also known as Dom care or home care is a service provided by certain agencies to people who need special assistance in day to day life. It goes a long way to help you if have problems dealing with daily tasks or just need any sort of home assistance with something. This type of service will take care of you if you are dealing with disability, illness, or if you have someone who has a learning disability, this type of care can be recommended for you.
Learn more about domiciliary care
Many people will confuse domiciliary care with what happens in a nursing home. Although the similarities between the two are undeniable, there is one fundamental difference. In the home care service you or your loved one receiving the service is encouraged to do as much for yourself as possible. The service only works as assistance to you but one is encouraged to do what they can.
The services offered are all-inclusive for all age groups. There are agencies that offer services to children, aging individuals, those with disabilities as mentioned earlier and more. Most agencies will specify on one of these groups and try to provide specialized care. Though these are not medical facilities the caregivers are required by the governing bodies to have certain qualifications. These include certification for CPR and general first aid, good finances, and a good criminal record.
Starting a home care or agency is generally not difficult. Most people who have ventured into provision of this service have done so out of the need to help someone in need. It is usually more of an act of giving back to the society. Generally home care service can take many shapes or forms. It might be as simple as you escorting someone in need to get medical attention or that someone moving in with you. Sometimes you taking care of a sick relative is actually home care.
Domiciliary care is generally not expensive. Most of the residents pay for the services themselves on an agreed period usually a month. Though sometimes the government will pay the agency directly, usually the residents or you who are using the service might get relief from the government and pay for the service yourself. However in a case where you cannot afford to pay the required amount, there are agencies that do not charge at all. They are generally funded by well-wishers to ensure that any one in need gets good service.
It doesn't take much to receive these services. Usually all that is required is that you be eighteen and above and that you be ready to live with a family. It can be an easier way to live your life instead of struggling alone. On the other hand if you wish to start the service. All you need to do is open your house to someone in need. You could get registration from the care quality commission CQC for you to have a recognized practice. You will also have to understand that your house will have to undergo an inspection to ensure that it is appropriate for domiciliary care.

The problem with kids is they grow up. One day they're snuggling with you and thinking you have a PhD in Valuable Opinions. Soon they're furious that you dared ask them to put their shoes away, and embarrassed by your dorky outfit. As for snuggling, you rate below the dog. Maybe even the fish. My rant is a cliché, but my pain is real. You just wait until it happens to you.
I was caught as unawares by this as a bystander at a Siberian meteor crash. I should have known: I have a precocious 10-year-old. But damnit, 13, I took your suffix at face value and you lied to me!
If you know the heartache of a breakup, you know the emptiness of the transition to mother-of-a-tweenager. A furtive glance… an attempt to get her to just look at me during dinner; a longing for one last kiss… a longing for even a peck on the cheek; the empty bed where there used to be an embrace… the spit in the eye when I rouse her in the morning; the memory of your lover's scent… leaning over my child when she sleeps to inhale the dying embers of that baby smell. It's as it should be, so I put a good face on it. But I'm bereft in a way I never expected to be.
She's begged for a "regular" bed, so we've given her bunks away and await the delivery of the new bed. She can sleep with me, or alone in the guest room on the lower level. When she chose downstairs (dashing my hope for prolonged snuggling), I protested that she had always been afraid to sleep down there by herself. "That was a thing of the past," she asserted, "and I am a thing of the future."
If you have a child in your life – your own or another that you're close to – stop and smell the roses. Make time in your busy life to spend time with that child when they're young. They will be gone to you before you know it.

Loved ones observe a three-day mourning period.
Body is buried within 24 hours and with only a white sheet.
Funerals involve three parts: vigil, mass, and burial. Sometimes, but not always, mourners view the body in an open casket. In some cultures, the vigil is called a wake and involves food, drinks, and sharing photos and stories of the person who has died.
Body is buried.
Scriptures are read from the Vedas or Bhagavad Gita.
The chief mourner, usually the eldest son or male relative, will light some kindling and circle the body, praying for the wellbeing of the departing soul.
Body is cremated.
Body is buried within 24 hours.
After the funeral, mourners observe a seven-day period called "shiva." Observers cover the mirrors in their homes. They make a rip in their clothing or pin to their clothes a black ribbon with a tear in it, to symbolize their loss.
Unitarian Universalist

California Sends a Cease and Desist Order To the Bitcoin Foundation
Shutdown procedure (396 comments)
Guessing they go the general guidelines shown by DRM-industry, first they troll on developers making it possible and then on users doing it. I wonder if laws need to be rewritten as has been done globally with anti-piracy stuff, or if the current ones can be interpreted in disfavor of bitcoin community? In the end they make their own legitimate digital currency, which they cant print as they please.

Saturday, March 20, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M.
Religion By Bob Smietana
When he was a student at Duke Divinity School, the Rev. James Kemp studied the great theologians of the Christian faith the Apostle Paul, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther and John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church to which Kemp belongs. But his favorite theologian was the one he first read at the public library in Lexington, Ky. Dr. Seuss. His favorite theological work? "Horton Hatches the Egg." "It is the first book I remember reading or having read to me," recalls Kemp in his new book, "The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss." Since its release in February, "The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss" has sold more than 14,000 copies and has headed into a second printing. It got a boost when Barnes and Noble featured it as part of a national celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2. During his 15 years as a Methodist minister, Kemp often used Dr. Seuss stories as illustrations in his sermons. For example, Horton the elephant, who keeps his promise to sit on a bird's egg till it hatches despite ridicule from those around him is a model of faithfulness for Christians, Kemp says. "In the face of challenges, persecution, and ridicule," he writes, "Horton remains faithful 'one hundred percent.' " Each chapter focuses on a single Dr. Seuss book and was condensed from Kemp's old sermons. "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" becomes a story about the "restoring power of Jesus Christ." "Yertle the Turtle," a lesson about greed. "Green Eggs and Ham," a parable about embracing change, and "The Sneetches," one about overcoming discrimination.
Two chapters focus on "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" one about materialism and another about loving difficult people. Kemp sees a parallel between the Grinch and the biblical story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. Jesus treated Zacchaeus, a despised tax collector, with respect, says Kemp, and completely changed his life.
In an e-mail interview from his home in Lexington, Kemp said he likes Dr. Seuss as theologian "because Jesus told us to come as a child, and Dr. Seuss makes us look at things through the eyes of a child." Kemp, 48, suffers from severe multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition that forced him to retire from the ministry in 1996. "The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss" is the third book he has written since then. The first, "Who Says I'm Dead?" deals with his struggles with MS, which has made him a quadriplegic. The title comes from an incident in 2000 when Kemp's bank accounts were frozen after the federal government mistakenly decided he had died. A 2002 book focused on ideas for children's sermons. For a time, Kemp wrote using a computer with speech-recognition software. But his speech has declined to a point where the computer can no longer recognize him, so he dictates his writing to his mother, who acts as his secretary. His wife, Barbara, interprets for Kemp during interviews. He says he wrote the book to show that people with great limitations can still be productive, as long as they have the right support system. He says he relies on his faith, family and church friends to help him keep going. Hope is another of the themes Kemp finds in Dr. Seuss. One of his favorite characters is the Cat in the Hat "because through him we see that something good can come out of bad circumstances, we are never hopeless" that's the overall message of the book, he added. "There is always hope in the unlimited richness of God. Most of our problems are trivial." Since the release of "The Gospel according to Peanuts" by Robert L. Short in 1975, similar books have combined spirituality with pop culture. There's been "Gospels According to" the Simpsons, Tony Soprano, J.R.R. Tolkien and Harry Potter, and even "The Gospel Reloaded" that tied into the "Matrix" phenomenon. And then there's the 2003 spoof "The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal." Linda Peavy, associate publisher for Judson Press, Kemp's publisher, said, "This book will appeal to readers because it is easy and enjoyable to read, but also because it contains insights that will change their lives for the better. Hopefully, they will see Dr. Seuss' stories in a whole new light." Copyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company |

Slovakia faces flooding
3 Jun 2013
Flash News
The heavy rain that has inundated Slovakia over the past few days has increased the risk of flooding in several parts of the country. On June 2 several houses located near Devín Castle were flooded, and flooding is expected to strike some areas of Bratislava, as well as the Senec and Dunajská Streda districts, the Sme daily reported on June 3. Hydrometeorologists expect the level of the Danube in Bratislava to exceed its limits and are announcing a second-degree warning today, and the river might reach a third-degree warning (which corresponds to 850 centimetres) on June 4, SITA wrote. The weather has also affected Slovakia's transport system. The Viedenská Cesta and the Tyršovo Nábrežie were closed on June 3 at around 10:00 AM. Also, trains coming from the Czech Republic, which was also hit by flooding over the weekend, are experiencing delays of up to 280 minutes, the SITA newswire reported. The increasing level of the Danube has also affected river transport. The State Navigation Administration (ŠPS) will stop river transportation on the Danube at around 18:00, the company's spokesperson Jana Vadkertyová said, given that some passenger ships might not be able to clear the Prístavný Bridge when sailing under it. Ships will remain docked in the Bratislava port. In addition, the entrance to the shipyard in Komárno was closed, Pavol Virág, from the Slovak Water Management Company (SVP), told SITA. Because the level of the Danube reached 664 centimetres on June 2, mostly as a result of heavy rain in Germany and Austria, the anti-flood prevention system had to be raised in several areas of Bratislava, Sme wrote. The water management agency expects the level of the Danube and Morava Rivers to increase in the coming days, based on data from the southern German town of Passau, where the level of the Danube stood at 1,220 centimetres, SITA wrote. Water managers are preparing for the rise in the level of the rivers by setting up the modular barricades, as part of Bratislava's anti-flood system. Barricades are being erected in Devín, on Gondova Street in Šafárikovo Square as well as along the riverbanks of the Petržalka city borough. They set up three water pumping stations located in Zohor, Malacky district, Kľúčovec, Dunajská Streda district, and Patince, Komárno district, SITA reported.

If the presidential election was held today and God was one of the candidates, there's no question that He'd be elected... just not by as wide a margin as you might expect. A recent survey (July 21) by Democratic research firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) was checking approval ratings of Congress in the midst of the rancorous debt ceiling debate in Washington but threw in a few questions about God's performance too. God, of course, did better than Congress but then, a four-day old dead mackeral probably would have as well.

As a single parent, I have two full-time jobs: the one that pays the bills and the one that makes the bills worth paying.
For a long time, cooking was a chore, but somehow it has turned into my favorite part of the day. Because of time constraints, I do a lot of quick, easy, kid-friendly meals that someone else posted and I tweaked. When I have the time, I love to take on new challenges whether it is recreating a yummy dish I from a restaurant or creating dairy/gluten/soy free "lasagna" for a good friend.

Aunts Uncles and Godparents
Posted By Rachel B On May 10, 2011 @ 7:00 am In Family,Photo Book Ideas | 5 Comments
Did you know June 5 is National Godparents Day? And July 26 is rumored to be National Aunts and Uncles Day? Not that I'm hinting or anything, but from personal experience, aunts, uncles, and godparents LOVE to receive a little Shutterfly. It doesn't take much, really! A quick card or photo book featuring nieces, nephews, godsons or goddaughters makes our day, our week, our year.
From a proud aunt's point of view, here's what I think would make an aunt, uncle or godparent do a Shutterfly happy dance.
The perfect card
Shutterfly's Thinking Of You Cards [1] are perfect for aunts uncles and godparents. I guarantee we will immediately tack the card onto our refrigerators and point it out to everyone who visits. We will also look at it every day and smile.
My personal favorite is the Dream Sketch 5×7 folded card [2]. I love that I can see a large image of my niece and nephews on the outside and a personal note on the inside. I also can't get enough of that whimsical "Dream" font. If whimsy isn't your thing, there are plenty of styles to choose from.
The perfect photo book
Photo books are the ultimate keepsakes for aunts uncles and godparent. We appreciate them just as much a grandparents. And Shutterfly's All NEW Custom Path [3] lets you make our photo books in a snap. I personally love the "Good Times" backgrounds in the Everyday style, because of the playful embellishments, but if playful isn't your thing, we have loads of styles and backgrounds to choose from.
If you haven't heard of our All NEW Custom Path [3], I encourage you to check it out. This new tool makes it super easy to make your book just the way you want.
The book doesn't need to be fancy. Just use photos you already have along with a few simple sentiments. I guarantee we'll display it on the coffee table and look at it again and again.
If you need some inspiration, here are a few of my favorites from Shutterfly's Photo Book Gallery [4].
Kilmeny2 [5] – Cassandra S made a beautiful photo book for aunts and uncles, featuring photos of her daughter. No words, just pictures
Summer with Sophie and Nonnie [6] – Ruthann d made a book about her daughter's visit to Aunt Nonnie's. Filled with photos and a few captions. Easy to make and sure to be treasured
Luella [7] – simple but so special. Amanda W made this book for Aunt Luella featuring family photos and a few sweet words
The perfect gifts
Sterling Necklace [8] – I just saw one of my colleagues wearing hers, and now I want one for myself. The locket featuring my nephew's little face would be precious!
Photo mug [9] – quick to make and you know we'll be drinking our coffee and tea from it every day
Are you an aunt, uncle or godparent? What Shutterfly gift would make your day? Let me know by commenting on this article.

It's the grim statistic that just won't budge: new child malnutrition numbers are out for India, and there is no good news to be had.
The exhaustive door-to-door survey covered a fifth of India's children and found that 42.3 per cent of children under the age of five are underweight for their age, 58.8 per cent are stunted and 11.4 per cent are so severely underfed as to be considered "wasted."
These figures are significant in part because some Indian nationalists reject the findings of international organizations that have warned that the child malnutrition situation is not improving even as the economy has grown at nearly 10 per cent per year over the last decade.
In fact, about as many Indian children are malnourished now as were at the beginning of the economic liberalization period two decades ago: the number has declined at best by two or three per cent.
One person who has refused to let the malnutrition figures get lost in the gloss of "India Shining" is Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who chose to personally release this report and called the figures "a national shame," saying "despite impressive growth in our GDP, the level of undernutrition in the country is unacceptably high."
Prime Minister Singh noted that the policy tools employed by government to date have not had the impact envisioned. The report findings suggest that the persistent problems of sclerotic bureaucracy and corruption continue to hamper those policy initiatives – for example, almost every village surveyed had an anganwadi community health centre. But while these are supposed to distribute dried rations to children in need, and feed those children cooked meals once a day, only half of the centres actually had the food supplies they were supposed to receive.
As the Globe reported in 2009, the reasons why India continues to have such high malnutrition rates have less to do with levels of poverty than they do with persistent social inequality, particularly between men and women.
The reason, according to research from the International Food Policy Research Institute, that many much poorer African nations nevertheless have better-nourished children than India does is that in those African states, women have much more autonomy in terms of personal mobility, work and household spending, and as a consequence, their children eat better. A child under five is almost twice as likely to be underweight in India as is a child in sub-Saharan Africa.
This survey also drew out the explicit connections between malnutrition and other aspects of development such as education and sanitation. It found that while nearly half of children of illiterate mothers are malnourished, only a third of children of mothers who had 10 or more years of education are.
The survey compared households in the best-performing districts of the most developed states with the worst districts in the poorest states; in the best districts, half of all mothers said their family members washed their hands with soap after they used the toilet, while only a fifth of mothers in the worst districts said they did so – even though almost all households said they had soap. Chronic diarrheal disease is a key cause of malnutrition.

The noise was deafening and air in the factory in northern Gujarat was so thick with cotton dust it was like a snowstorm at night.
Women and girls, some no more than 10 or 11, fed machines with raw cotton picked from the nearby fields.
It is a process known as ginning – one end of a commercial supply chain that ends up as clothes and textiles in high street shops around the world. Globally, annual revenues from the industry are measured in the trillions of dollars.
Many household-name retailers concede they do not know exactly how the cotton they use is farmed and processed. Yet, for years, labour activists here have campaigned for their help.
"The workers' lives are terrible," said Jignesh Mevani, an activist who was our guide. "They are not paid the minimum wage. There are no safety precautions. There are many children."
Filming openly, children were easy to find in both the ginning factories and the cotton fields.
One was Kali Gamar, wearing a worn yellow dress, her arms covered in scratches from the cotton bushes. She thought she was 10, but wasn't sure.
Her expression was flat, her eyes dull as, almost robotically, she prised open cotton buds, one after the other. She was with her older sister, Ashi, who said she was 20.
"We came here four or five months ago from Rajastan," said Ashi. "Now we live here. The work is hard. We don't know where our parents are. They are working somewhere."
In one of the ginning factories, we found Versha and Pryanka. They were both 11 years old, far away from home and too shy or frightened to speak.
An adult worker, Gauri, explained they had been sent there through a labour agent by their parents.
"They came some months back," she said. "They don't get paid. The money must go straight to their parents."
Some estimates put the number of cotton child workers in India as high as half a million.
"A third of the workers may be children," says Sudhir Katiyar, who runs the campaigning organisation Prayas Centre for Labor Research and Action.
"Children are at every stage of the process, seeding cotton, picking it and ginning and beyond, too," he says.
Mr Katiyar refers to the cotton dust in the ginning factories as "the horror of the white cloud", as it can cause lung disease at an early age.
By law, he says, masks and safety equipment should be provided to all workers. Children should not work until they are 16.
There have been cases of them falling asleep through exhaustion and suffocating in the piles of raw cotton.
Workers are paid just over $2 (£1.30) a day, when they should be paid $7 for a 12-hour shift, Mr Katiyar insists.
From the ginning factories, the cotton is spun into thread from which textiles are made.
It is at this stage that the supply chain becomes a completely different world.
Mandhana Industries in Tarapur, two hours from Mumbai, is a supplier to many European brands.
Its plant is clean and modern, with an abundance of posters promoting good working practices. Staff wear protective masks and clothing.
"We have a social programme," says Mandhana president Ajay Prakash Bhatnagar. "We have doctors and health care. We take care of everything.
"I think this is why we get so many repeat orders again and again. Our customers are happy with the way we operate."
Usually companies like Mandhana track their supply chain to the spinning mills, while high street retailers track back to their immediate suppliers. Little or no scrutiny is made of the ginning factories and cotton fields.
None of the retailers we contacted agreed to be interviewed on this issue.
But Arcadia, owner of outlets such as Top Shop, BhS and Miss Selfridge, issued a statement saying: "We are committed to ensuring that the workers in our suppliers' supply chains are treated fairly.
"When customers buy our goods they must be sure that they have been produced under acceptable conditions."
Marks and Spencer said it did not break down what percentage of its raw cotton was traceable and guaranteed to be free of unacceptable labour practices.
"All our suppliers must adhere to our ethical standards as a condition of working with us," it said in a statement. "We do not tolerate abuse of these standards."
The company says, however, that it intends to be able to trace the source of its cotton by 2015.
Child labour has been reported in all the major cotton growing countries – China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan and Turkey.
In response to the BBC findings in Gujarat, the British government said businesses were encouraged to remain vigilant about the work conditions for products they buy from overseas.

Every day, in every nation on the planet, children are sold and bonded into slavery. Thousands of children. I know, I was one of them.
When I was seven years old, a woman approached my family promising to give me a good education and a better life. My mother agreed because, she was told, she could visit me on a regular basis close to our home. But instead of giving me a better life, this well-respected woman in our community turned around and sold me to a man in a bordering state.
I was taken from my family in India to a place I didn't know. A place with strange people and a strange language. My trafficker, Paul, was in the business of children. He bought and sold us, exploiting our vulnerability and innocence, forcing us to work as maids, servants, and in brick and cement factories. He ran an "orphanage" that was registered with the government as a humanitarian charity, but which instead served as a barracks for children he trafficked, including me.
I remember crying for my mother. Paul told me that I never would see her again. "She is dead," he said.
My home, my identity, and, most importantly, my dreams and aspirations were lost. The world around me was shattered into pieces. My small body endured beatings and torture. Day in and day out, in that poverty stricken village in Southern India, I cried for someone to rescue me. Despite all of my tears, no one answered my cry.
By the time I was eight, my physical condition and emotional state were dire. I was near death. No longer of any value to Paul, he sold me into illegal adoption. I was adopted by an American woman who thought she was getting a legitimately orphaned girl. She brought me to live with her in Washington, where I had all the privileges of American life. Through her love, I began to find stability, healing, and a sense of personal freedom.
Today, at least 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved across the globe—m ore than at any time in history. Modern-day slavery and human trafficking manifest themselves in many forms, from forced labor to sex trafficking, but each is alike in that it strips a person of their fundamental and inalienable right to human freedom. Sometimes hidden in the dark corners of our globalized world and at other times occurring in plain sight, modern-day slavery and human trafficking are legal nowhere but present in every country across the globe.
Twenty-one years after being trafficked, I traveled back to India. There, I saw my birth mother in a hotel for the first time since we were forced apart. I listened to her tell the story of losing a child. I heard her pain and devastation. And I resolved to dedicate my life to stopping the modern-day slave trade.
President Barack Obama has proclaimed January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. It provides all of us with an opportunity to look within and beyond our own lives. But the issue of human trafficking is massive in scope and often overwhelming to consider. How can one person possibly impact such an immense, seemingly intractable global problem? You can start by becoming educated about the issue—including in your own community. Next, be willing to say something. Ask Congress to reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Fight for anti-trafficking legislation in your state. And simply be willing to stand up and use your voice to say that slavery is wrong. If thousands of voices rise up the same way, they will surely be loud enough to end this tragedy in our time.

same comment as on your other one, you can't use artist's intellectual property on a shirt that you're making money from. this one, you may get away with it, but every christian knows it's a chris tomlin song and people will buy it thinking it's a chris tomlin shirt, when in fact it isn't. i know you don't mean to, but it's basically stealing from the artist. you would be making a profit from something they wrote. there's a little more that goes into it, and again, i'm sure this could maybe pass, i jsut mean as a general rule, stay away from this kind of thing just to be safe.

It has been a long time coming. Stack Studios has recently unveiled FELIX: the fastest, cheapest and most reliable rendering solution. A new tool designed for architects, designers, engineers, and whoever needs high quality renderings at record times. With FELIX the calculations are done in a cloud computing facility dedicating 40 to 160 cores to every user. 3D data transfers are automatic and imperceptible even during loads of geometry updates.
A 1Mbit connection is all it takes to make users feel like they have a supercomputer at their fingertips. Best of all, FELIX drastically reduces costs. It's free and doesn't require any powerful hardware. FELIX works on a pre-paid credit system, so the user pays only for the completed renderings.
Key features
FELIX includes a huge constantly growing professional library of textures and materials. In fact users can share 2D and 3D data from within the system. Setting up cameras and lights is extremely intuitive, just like the whole application: Stack Studios maintains that it takes only up to 20 minutes to learn how to use FELIX. Another major feature is the 100% nondestructive workflow. This allows for endless and well organized changes to the projects at any stage. In David Rossmann's words: "FELIX combines the great quality Maxwell Render with the principles of cloud computing and web 2.0. This combination of technologies represents a breakthrough in modern rendering and opens the way to infinite possibilities for development.
"Our RIF (Rich Image Format)," adds Massimo Ciani, "allows us to work on images rich with information and auto-generated tags. Just think of the advantages in search engine indexing. It's just a short step from here to the semantic 3D.
"After seven years of research, development and Beta-Testing, this revolutionary 'Made in Italy' technology is finally available to the public."

USA Today first reported at the end of last week that the media event would be taking place today (Monday), although Microsoft itself has been pretty secretive on Office 2013, with little known of its features or what kind of tie-in there will be across Windows 8 desktop and mobile devices.
That said, the company has previously said that it would launch a public beta of the office suite in the summer, and announced that it has been working on a touch-friendly version for Windows RT, the ARM-based version for Windows 8 tablets, so it is possible that these previous announcements may form part of the event.
SkyDrive integration across desktop and mobile devices, as well as pricing and availability are some of the other topics might also be tackled at the conference.
Another intriguing possibility is that Microsoft could use the event to announce an Office app for iPad and Android, although it remains to be seen how keen the Microsoft would be in releasing an app now, three months prior to the release of its own-brand Surface tablets. Indeed, previous reports have suggested that Microsoft is actually holding back Office for iPad, because it's not sure when to release it.
Office is certainly huge business for Microsoft, and accounted for a mega $22.2 billion of the company's nearly $70 billion in fiscal 2011 revenue, and for $14.1 billion of operating revenue.

The Millenium Wave Fund
This website will serve the following goals:
- To group people that invested in the Millenium Wave Fund
- To be an information base on the Millenium Wave and its history.
The Millenium Wave is a hedge fund by Absolute Return Partners plc, London, and was strongly advised by John Mauldin.
Management would allocate investments as a hedge and a safe haven in case of a global financial crisis.
Things turned out different ... At the moment (Q2 2011) Funds are still locked, performance is worse than -60%.
Come back later to read more. We will gradually be adding more and more content and articles to this site.

Consumer Reports estimates you'll spend $1500-2000 for disposable diapers before your child is potty trained. Can you save by using cloth? Yes! The cheapest option, prefolds plus covers, can cost as little as $243 over 2.5 years—that includes washing and drying expenses. An all-in-one (such as this one by bumGenius) or pocket diaper (such as a Fuzzibunz) can cost around $17 each, so people tend to buy fewer and wash them more often, raising the total price over 2.5 years to $792. To see our calculations and learn how to save money using cloth diapers, keep reading.
Prefolds: The Cheapest Diapering Option. My daughter just turned two. According to my obsessively detailed calculations, I spent $129.50 on the first year and $66 on the second. I don't foresee buying any more supplies, so after 2.5 years (the average age of potty training), I'll have spent $213.50 diapering my child. That figure includes all my cloth diapers, some disposables for travel, and washing and drying.
Here's how I arrived at the total for prefold diapers in the first paragraph:
36 prefolds at $1.25 each = $40
18 covers in varying sizes at $6 (the cost of new Proraps and Diaperaps) = $108
washing and drying per year (every four days) = $36 x 2.5 = $90
total = $243
Now, your figure may vary depending on a few things. One, you may not get away with just one set of prefolds as I did. If your baby grows out (or pees out) of the standard size, you will end up buying another set of prefolds for around $40. Technically there are four sizes of prefold diapers, so you could spend $160 (or more) buying 3 dozen of each size.
I also estimated that you'd need about 18 covers, figuring you'd need six covers in three different sizes. Your price will vary here depending on the amount of covers you really buy (I never have more than four in any one size) and the cost of those covers. You can save by buying used covers at a consignment store—some cost just $1! Ebay is another place to find used diapering supplies. Of course, you could also spend much more on covers—some brands cost $20.
Washing and drying costs are based on my own experience, using a front-loading washer that uses far less water and energy than a top loader. We wash diapers every four days on the heavy cycle. Your laundering costs will depend on the type of washer you have, the cost of your electricity, and the efficiency of your hot water heater. If you use a "wet pail" to keep your dirty diapers, you'll use more water. If you run an extra rinse cycle, you'll also use more water. We recommend skipping these steps—you may find, as we did, that they're not necessary.
Cuteness and Convenience: Pocket and All-in-One Diapers. Many cloth-diapering parents prefer the convenience and trim look of a pocket or all-in-one diaper. I calculated the pocket/all-in-one prices like this:
36 diapers in varying sizes at $17 each = $612
washing and drying per year (every other day) = $180
total: $792
I estimated that people would buy 12 diapers for each size and wash them every other day. You can save a lot of money buy buying used pocket or all-in-one diapers. A used Fuzzibunz, for example, costs $6-8 rather than $17 and can be resold for that price. You will have to wash diapers more often with pockets and all-in-ones. Most people buy fewer, and they fill up the diaper pail faster than prefolds do.
You can save money by buying adjustable pocket diapers. BumGenius, Motherease, and Happy Heiny all make adjustable pocket diapers that aim to fit babies from eight to over thirty pounds. A bumGenius diaper costs $16. If you buy 18 ($288) and wash every three days ($48.80/year, $122/2.5 years), you'll spend a total of $410.
Hidden Savings with Cloth Diapers
Cloth diapers can be used on your next child. That's when you can really start seeing savings. I estimated my washing and drying costs at $36/year. Because I already own all my diapering supplies, I would spend just $90 diapering a second child. That means I could save as much as $3696 diapering two kids in cloth diapers instead of disposables.
Cloth diapers have a high resale value. You may be surprised to know that used cloth diapers—even ones in not-that-great shape—have a very high resale value. We've seen Bumpy (Imse Vimse) covers that cost $14 new run for $8 used. I even found prefolds, which cost $1.25 new, for $1 in a consignment shop! If you spend the $612 I estimated for pocket diapers and resell them each for $7, you'll recoup $252 of your overhead expenses, reducing your total from $792 to $540.
There are ways to save on laundering expenses. We mentioned a few methods above: wash every four days (rather than every other day), use an energy efficient washer, avoid extra rinse cycles and wet pails. Also, you need very little detergent when washing cloth diapers—about a third of what you'd use for a normal load of laundry. One big way to save is to hang your diapers dry in the sun—this will bleach out stains and save you a lot of money. Pocket diapers and all-in-ones hang dry better than prefolds, which emerge stiff and crunchy from the clothesline.
As you can see, there are many variables to keep in mind when trying to figure out how much money you'll spend on cloth diapers. No matter what system you choose, it's definitely possible to save money—as much as $1757!
In 1952, my husband was Administrative Assistant to our Nevada Senator in Washington D.C. Our family of five crossed the country many times, usually by car. Our children's ages were five, two and less than one year. I'm glad they weren't triplets! It took us over a week each trip.
This was before disposable diapers were a viable choice. We started each day washing diapers by hand at the motel. We rolled up the car windows catching a corner of the diapers in the top of the windows, diapers outside. As we drove off down the highway, the diapers flew in the breeze.
This method worked faster than today's dryers, but I wouldn't recommend it to Rebecca for use in Portland, even though it would save energy.
[…] spent just $129.50 on one year of diaper supplies, which is on the cheap side. I estimated in my Cloth vs. Disposable Cost Comparison post that, depending on the diaper system, you could spend anywhere from $120 to about $600 on start-up […]
Cloth diapers are the way to go. The cloth diapers of today with inserts are so easy to use AND clean that it is hard to justify using disposables regularly. Thanks for the great article.
my start-up for cloth diapering has cost me $25 as I am making my own-the most "expensive" part is the elastic and velcro!!
I am new to cloth diapering (my son is 3 months and I JUST started). I have spent 120.00 USD on my cloth diapering supplies (13 covers, 30 pre-folds, and 2 AOIs) by buying seconds and lucking out with a lot listed on a local buy/sell/trade site. I have enough to carry me through my son's diapering years (the pre-folds are big and I just fold them down, the covers adjust). We have spent well over 120.00 in just three months and I am amazed that more parents don't cloth diaper!
[…] exactly what our savings will be, but if you're looking for a cost comparison, check out the Green Baby Guide. And, if you continue to use your cloth diapers for future offspring, your savings will continue to […]
Cloth is definitely the way to go, it saves you money, you really never have to worry about running out, not as often at least. You also get the satisfaction of not throwing thousands of diapers into land fills.
I agree with my friend, Mila. She frequently babysits for me and we always use the cloth diapers. I would really like Aleph's carbon footprint to be as small as possible.
I am due in September and will absolutely use cloth diapers. Putting poo in plastic that doesn't biodegrade for 500 years makes zero sense. Disposable diapers are the third most common item in our landfills today. There is just no excuse not to use cloth.
I cannot find diaper covers that aren't less than 10-15 dollars! Do any of you know a website where I can purchase new/used (it doesn't matter) diaper covers for less?
You can check ebay or your local craigslist to see if you can get them for less. Also, call around to consignment shops in your area to see if they carry diaper covers. I was lucky enough to score a dozen or two secondhand covers for about 1.50 each at a shop in Portland. I hope that helps!
I love cloth diapers! A website i found with great cloth diapers is gogonatural.com. You should check it out!!

As an expat in Turkey, it is crucial that you seek advice from the experts who have done it all before, this is the first of our expat interviews – we are looking to interview expats in Turkey and get their stories to be published on our website.
Introduction of the expat
Jack Scott was born on a British army base in Canterbury, England in 1960 and spent part of his childhood in Malaysia as a 'forces brat'. At the age of eighteen and determined to dodge further education, Jack became a shop boy on Chelsea's trendy King's Road. Days on the tills and nights on the tiles were the best probation for a young gay man about town. After two carefree years, Jack swapped sales for security and got a proper job in local government with a pension attached. By his late forties, passionately dissatisfied with suburban life and middle management, he and his Civil Partner Liam abandoned the sanctuary of liberal London for an uncertain future in Turkey.
Jack recently published his memoir, Perking the Pansies, Jack and Liam move to Turkey. The book is a bitter-sweet tragi-comedy that recalls their first year as an expat gay couple in a Muslim country. The book is available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and all major book sellers. For more information, news and reviews please check out Jack's website.
Why did you move to Turkey to become an expat? What is your story? Why did you choose the area that you settled in?
We thought it was time to take a break from our labours, put our feet up and watch the pansies grow while we were still young enough to enjoy it. I'd like to say that we chose Turkey because of the swarthy men; Turkey's a place where sexual ambivalence reigns supreme and stolen glances meet you at every corner. The truth is more prosaic. We had to settle somewhere within easy commute of Blighty. The Eurozone was off the agenda because the Pound to Euro exchange rate conspired against us. That meant the usual nations of choice for sun-starved Brits – Spain, Portugal and Greece – were out. We knew we would get more bang for our bucks in Turkey. Also, we'd been dipping our toes in the warm waters of the Aegean for years and knew the stunning country quite well. With the current crisis in the Eurozone, I think we made a wise choice.
For us, Bodrum was the bookmaker's favourite from the outset. It's a chic, cosmopolitan and happening kind of place attracting serious Turkish cash and an interesting cohort of Bohemian types. The little gem of a town also attracts relatively few discount tourists compared to its uglier sisters up and down the coast.
How do you find life in Turkey different to where you are from originally?
The opening words of my book are:
"Just imagine the absurdity of two openly gay, recently 'married' middle aged, middle class men escaping the liberal sanctuary of anonymous London to relocate to a Muslim country."
That sums it up really. London is a world city – magnificent, cultured, cosmopolitan, international, outward-looking, frantic, uncaring and unforgiving: a coffee-on-the-run kind of place. Bodrum is an ancient whitewashed resort on the Aegean shore where life is slow and deliberate, where taking tea with the neighbours is a time-honoured tradition of enormous social significance. Bodrum-life is village-life. Your business is everyone's business. Interestingly, as a discrete but obviously together gay couple, the only overt homophobia we're encountered is from the expats. Ironic don't you think? We are surrounded by Turks who, almost without exception, are kind and extremely generous. Of course, we've no idea what they're muttering behind our backs, but if they do have a problem with us, you'd never know it. Perhaps, as infidels, we're Hell-bound anyway so it hardly matters what we do.
What advice would you give to other people looking to move to Turkey?
Moving to any foreign land throws up a host of practical and cultural issues that everyone has to cope with but with the right advice, a guiding hand and lots of patience it can be a hugely rewarding experience. My strongest advice is to try a place on for size first. Rent before buying and then only buy with the right legal advice and through a reputable agent. Too many people have lost their shirts on a dream that turned into a nightmare. Act in haste and repent at leisure.
Have you ever experienced any trouble whilst living in Turkey?
None (touch wood). Turkey is a low crime country and visitors are unlikely to be troubled. As with any country, people should take sensible precautions. Don't flash the cash in crowded places and beware of pickpockets. Many Turks are still very poor. Be considerate. Ladies, please remember that, although Turkey is proud of its secular tradition, the overwhelming majority of people are Muslim and many are conservative. Please be respectful. No-one will expect you to dress head-to-toe in a polycotton sheet, but away from the coastal resorts and city centres of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, women are expected to dress modestly. It's the way here.
Does the language barrier affect your lifestyle in Turkey? Did you try to learn Turkish? Why/Why not?
Avustralyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınızcasına is a Turkish term pronounced as a single word and an extreme example of agglutination, the process of adding affixes to the base of a word. This word translated into English means "as if you were one of those whom we could not make resemble the Australian people". Though rhythmic and poetic on the ear, Turkish is not an easy language for Europeans to assimilate; it's thought to belong to the Altaic language family and is distantly related to Mongolian, Korean and other inscrutable Asiatic tongues. Despite Atatürk's valiant adoption of the Latin alphabet in 1928 and the fact that the language is phonetic and mostly regular, the word order, agglutinations and the absence of familiar sounds all conspire to make learning Turkish a very daunting prospect. That's my excuse anyway. I try but I'm just hopeless. I get away with it in Bodrum where so many people speak good English and those who don't want to practise on you.
How do you find medical services in Turkey? Do they compare with where you are from originally?
We pay for private health insurance but haven't used it so far. I've been told that private hospitals in Turkey offer excellent care at relatively low cost when compared to the UK and other countries in the West. This makes Turkey a growing player in the health tourism sector. The only medical-related procedure I've experienced is having my teeth capped. My Hollywood smile wasn't covered by insurance but came in at less than a quarter of the price I would have paid in London. My Turkish dentist did a top-notch job. You can see me coming in the dark.
Thanks a lot to Jack Scott, author of Perking the Pansies for the great interview. Are you an expat in Turkey? Do you want to get your story across to other potential expats and those looking to move to Turkey?
Contact Us and we will be glad to offer you an interview for Turkey Expat Forum.

NEW YORK - Burger King is scrapping its 40-year-old "Have It Your Way" slogan in favor of the more personal "Be Your Way."
The chain says the new tag line will roll out across its marketing in the U.S., including in a TV ad that will begin airing Monday night. The line made its first appearance in an online video last month.
Burger King says that the new motto is intended to remind people that "they can and should live how they want anytime. It's OK to not be perfect. ... Self-expression is most important and it's our differences that make us individuals instead of robots."
It may seem odd for a fast-food company to champion individuality, but Burger King isn't the only one trying to project a hip attitude to gain favor with customers. Since 2012, Taco Bell has been touting its "Live Mas" slogan, which means "live more" in Spanish. Executives at the Mexican food chain say they've made it a mantra in how they operate the company.
Starbucks and Chipotle have also gained popularity in part by cultivating decidedly non-corporate images.
Fernando Machado, Burger King's senior vice president of global brand management, noted in an interview that "Have It Your Way" focuses on only the transaction - the ability to customize a burger. By contrast, he said, "Be Your Way" is about making a connection with a person's greater lifestyle.
"We want to evolve from just being the functional side of things to having a much stronger emotional appeal," said Machado, who joined the company in March.
The new slogan was developed with ad agency David, a unit of WPP.
Machado noted that Burger King hasn't been actively using the "Have It Your Way" slogan for some time in the U.S. The company, which is based in Miami, also will stop using its more recent "Taste Is King" motto.
It's the latest change for Burger King, which has been undergoing a series of marketing and menu changes under new management.

A Yakima, Wash.-based produce packaging distributor has donated $75,000 to Washington State University's tree fruit research and Extension programs.
The funds from H.R. Spinner will be used to help develop 3 acres of research orchards, according to a news release.
One acre is located at the university's Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center near Yakima, and the other two are at the university's Sunrise Research Orchard near Wenatchee.
H.R. Spinner President Ed Jewett said the donation is designed to support the entire tree fruit industry.
"While our company focuses on packaging solutions, we absolutely recognize the importance of a healthy tree fruit supply chain, beginning with the planting of trees to the apple arriving to consumers," Jewett said in the release.
The $75,000 is just the latest gift to the university.
In September 2011, apple and pear growers in the state voted to invest $27 million over eight years to support university tree fruit research and Extension.
It marked the largest single gift toward the university's goal of raising $1 billion.
