Egypt sees billions in aid from Saudi, UAE soon
Egypt expects $500 million from the Arab Monetary Fund by end-2011, according to its Finance Minister. Meanwhile, IMF aid remains an option as economy grows 2-3 percent this fiscal year.
September 8, 2011 2:45 by Reuters
Egypt expects to reach loan agreements soon with Saudi Arabia and the UAE worth several billions of dollars, while another $500 million should come from the Arab Monetary Fund, the country's finance minister said on Wednesday.
Egypt's military rulers turned down an offer of $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund in June, vowing to fund a budget deficit from domestic resources and foreign aid.
"There are talks about a package coming from Arab countries, from Saudi Arabia, from the Emirates. We are under discussion, but both of them have presented proposals of a couple of billion dollars each," Egyptian Finance Minister Hazem el-Beblawi told Reuters on the sidelines of a meeting of Arab finance ministers in the UAE capital.
Asked when he expected a deal to be reached, he said: "Before the end of the year. It should be quite soon."
No particular conditions were attached to the packages, Beblawi said, with repayment expected in around five years. He did not give the exact amounts involved.
The government has said it hopes to finance a projected 134 billion pounds spending gap by raising 14 billion pounds, or about $2.4 billion, from wealthy Arab countries and 120 billion pounds from the domestic treasury bill market.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have already given a total $1 billion. UAE officials have been discussing a $3 billion package, the previous finance minister said in July.
Beblawi also said that Egypt — whose economy was thrown into crisis by the uprising against long-time ruler Hosni Mubarak earlier this year — was likely to receive a new drawing facility from the AMF, with the deal to be signed before the end of 2011.
"It is almost free of conditions. One of them is the so-called automatic loan that we are entitled to draw any time. The other is related to financial reform," he said, adding that the loan's interest rate was around 1.5 percent.
Egypt has also not given up on IMF aid, Beblawi said, but it preferred loans from Arab countries and financing from the local market to cover a budget gap of 8.6 percent of gross domestic product forecast for this fiscal year.
"For the time being, we are still assessing the situation. We consider it as an option, it is not accepted, it is not refused," he said.
To avoid tapping the IMF cash, the government has revised the budget that began on July 1 by cutting forecast spending by 24 billion Egyptian pounds ($4 billion).
The military has been reluctant to be tied even to the lenient terms offered by the IMF as it seeks to avoid any foreign interference.
A Reuters estimate suggested the government needs to raise at least 50 billion pounds a month in T-bills and bonds to meet its financing needs. However, the ministry has decided not to take the full amount on several recent T-bill sales.
"We do not want to pressurise the local market, to crowd out financing for the local market, but also, we would like to keep the interest rates at this level. Because you increase the amounts and you risk raising interest rates," Beblawi said.
He said earlier on Wednesday that tapping international markets with a Eurobond issue was not being considered.
The minister also said that the current pound exchange rate was good for the economy, which he saw growing by 2 to 3 percent this fiscal year.
"I think the longer we maintain the current rate, the better. Not only for the health of…

Artisan: Calypso Chile Glass Fusing
Marcela Cofre has been making unique fused glass jewelry since 1994. "I always enjoyed working with my hands, and the need to support a household led me into arts and crafts. I tried crochet, pressed flowers, and batik, but they didn't sell well," she says. "So I taught myself the art of transforming glass with heat." Marcela opened a workshop and soon was able to provide for all her family's needs. "At the same time I realized that with the creation of the workshop I was able to provide satisfying jobs for many people in my community, providing fair wages and giving the workers self esteem and happiness."
Calypso Chile Glass Fusing is a micro enterprise run from Marcela's home. "In the beginning I placed my products in local shops in Chile. In time, business conditions in Chile forced us to look into exporting our products. Now our merchandise is sold throughout the U.S. and Europe."
Marcela's main concern is the welfare of her artisan employees and their families, and she works to ensure their fair treatment, access to education, and ability to support themselves in a happy, healthy environment. "We are very proud to be able to give work to more than thirty families in Chile making glass jewelry, decorative pieces, wind chimes, and ornamental glassware. Our company provides dignified work to women heads of households," she says. Calypso Chile Glass welcomes all fair trade groups to help with their mission in Chile. She explains, "Our current project is sponsoring the work of students who are selling wonderful artwork made from recycled glass bottles. The profits will be used to help a nursery school for poor children at social risk."
Sonia Casas Labrine has worked at Calypso for twenty years. She started as a caregiver for Marcela's daughters before learning to make necklaces. Sonia has two sons and a granddaughter; one of her sons, Felipe, is in a wheelchair. Sonia's work with Calypso has helped her cope with the difficult reality of her son's disability. With the money she earns, she's been able to pay for all of his medical care. Sonia says she and her children never would have made it without the support of her Calypso family.
Another employee, Natalia Fierro, says "I have worked in Calypso for the last 13 years of my life and not only has it been a wonderful job but also it has been a school. I work in the administrative area dealing with national and international clients. Every day I learn something new and it always happens in such friendly environment that I give thanks for this beautiful life. It could not be better. I have a job, friends, I am always learning and Calypso is the best family I could ever dream of. I am happy. I am complete."

Common CourtesySubmitted by Mike D (not verified) on Fri, 06/29/2012 - 5:55am.
Some people try to hide behind the constitution and religous beleifs when it benifits them instead of using common courtesy. Right wrong or indifferent, she will be forced to pay a price that no judicial system can pass down to her, she will have to live with this foolish mistake every day and night for the rest of her life. This not only affects her, but the entire family. Some how some way it COULD have been worse, thank the good lord it wasnt. As I do not know the family I can only give you words of encouragement and throw up a prayer or two for the family. Just ignore the foolish and heartless comments that you may see on this page as this is what you see more amd more every day through out the world today, you would not have heard such inconsiderate comments 20-30 years ago. »

From Brunswick to Kinder Morgan, CEOs tell "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer what's working in this market.
Check out which companies are making headlines after the bell Tuesday: FireEye, Groupon, Walt Disney & more.

Since Cramer spoke with this video game maker, shares have surged 31 percent. "And I think this stock could have even more upside," he said.
There's so much going on at E3 that it's hard to keep up with everything being shown, talked about and hinted at.
The excitement that surrounds new game systems often has a sweeping effect on share prices of companies in the video game space.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, looking to expand the content their game offerings, are courting independent developers.
Due this fall, the record-breaking game will get a graphical overhaul for the new Microsoft and Sony systems' improved processing.
With the release of the PS4 and Xbox One, there's a new mid-year sales leader in the videogame industry—and it's not Call of Duty for a change.
Plenty of upstarts are looking to steal traditional game makers' thunder at the annual E3 trade show.
Google was said to be in talks to acquire video-streaming service Twitch, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

Video game publisher Take-Two Interactive reported a 23 percent drop in revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter but beat Wall Street expectations.
In the week ahead, Monday and Wednesday could be kinda big. Are you ready?
Traders await retail sales, inflation data and retailer earnings, but it's the stock market's own behavior that could be most key in the week ahead.

Sony will release the third installment "Infamous: Second Son" this Friday. Analysts say that Sony could spend hundreds of millions on the game.

The FCC had drafted rules to require the notification system but put the regulations on hold after the companies' commitment.
At the time of the announcement, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said he would take a "trust but verify approach" to ensure the companies complied with the guidelines.
Under the plan the companies agreed to, they will have to offer alerts by October in two of four areas: data, voice, text and international roaming. The carriers must provide all four alerts by April 2013.

The present cathedral of Tagbilaran traces to a church built by Fr. Valero de San Pascual, OAR, while the bell tower to Fr. Jose Sanchez, OAR. The church's interior and exterior have undergone renovations. However, despite the renovations, some historic pieces still remain. The two side altars are in the 18th century Baroque style, while the central altar, decorated with symbols from the Old Testament is in the 19th century neoclassical style. The statue of St. Joseph, the patron of the church, is an 18th century vintage. The church has a good collection of ancient documents, including a fragment of an 18th century Visayan dictionary.
Near the cathedral is the Lions Children's Playground where children enjoy different playground facilities. There is also a plaza near the cathedral, which functions as the meeting place of people in the city. The plaza has been remodeled a number of times. A cement kiosk traces to the early 20th century while the mushroom-like shelters are said to have been designed by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, a native of Bohol.

DEFINITION of 'Publicly Traded Partnership - PTP'
A business organization owned by two or more co-owners, that is regularly traded on an established securities market. A publicly traded partnership is a limited partnership managed by two or more general partners that can be individuals, corporations or other partnerships, and that is capitalized by limited partners who provide capital, but have no management role in the partnership.
Also known as master limited partnerships or MLPs.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Publicly Traded Partnership - PTP'
A publicly traded partnership combines certain tax benefits of a limited partnership, with the liquidity of a publicly traded security. Publicly traded partnerships must engage in certain businesses, due to limitations in the U.S. Code, including businesses related to the use of natural resources, such as petroleum and natural gas extraction and transportation.
In order to qualify for publicly traded partnership status, the partnership must generate a minimum of 90% of its income from "qualifying" sources, as determined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As partnerships, they avoid the statutory corporate income tax at state and Federal levels.

Alloa 0-1 Raith: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Booth boosts Raith
Callum Booth scored the game's only goal as Raith beat Alloa 1-0 to leapfrog their opponents.
Alloa had a number of good chances to take the lead in the opening period but they could not find a route past Raith goalkeeper Lee Robinson and it remained goalless at the break.
The visitors flew out of the blocks in the second half and went ahead in the 49th minute when Booth crashed his free-kick past Wasps goalkeeper Scott Bain from 25 yards.
The hosts pushed for an equaliser but Edward Ferns and Ben Gordon could not convert their late chances.

Like the Tigers the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks pulled off a road victory last Friday night. Derek Goodwin rushed for 119 yards on 13 carried to lead CVU to a 21-14 win over Newport. Though Goodwin didn't find the end zone on offense, he did defensively when he recovered a fumble and returned in for a touchdown for the game's first score. CVU quarterback Eric Palmer tossed a 6-yard touchdown to Konnor Fleming in the second quarter and J. P. Benoit finished CVU's scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Emile Hartman had two touchdown runs, accounting for all of North Country's points.
Last Saturday in Bristol Mount Abraham's struggles continued. Jake Bielecki ran for three touchdowns and caught a pass for another to lead the Oxbow Olympians to a 57-0 drubbing of the Mount Abraham Eagles. Quarterback Barry Weigel added two touchdowns runs while Zach Smith and Zach Klunder contributed a TD run each to the onslaught.
Oxbow improved to 3-4overall, and are 2-3 in Division III play. Mount Abraham is 0-7 overall and 0-6 in Division III play.

Have any hint exactly what can disturb your driving on damp, slippery roadways? The four tires of your Honda Civic slide in cases where there's no traction force, which reduces the effectiveness of its braking system. The anti-lock braking mechanism can pretty much improve the tires' grip. Driving on a moist road won't become a concern when your automobile possesses better braking power and maneuvering-one thing which you could have by employing the ABS. But in order to be certain that the ABS can continuously perform well, it needs essential data provided by an automated part called the Honda Civic speed sensor.
Much like how a tachometer works, the Honda Civic speed sensor gauges the velocity of your vehicle's wheels before transferring such essential data to the system. The ABS may foresee whenever a auto tire is likely to get stuck. Braking or slowing down your Honda Civic ends up being uncomplicated by using the ABS. You may get rid of costly automobile modifications by getting an automotive component that's made to OEM settings. Setting up a direct replacement is a simple job that can be accomplished without the help of a professional auto mechanic.
Parts Train posseses a wide collection of durable replacement car parts and items like Honda Civic speed sensor produced by brand names such as Standard or Hella and FAE that are ensured premium-made. Our merchandise are also available in discounted prices that would certainly match your modest funds.

E-mail comments, 50 words or fewer, to email@example.com.
Clint Eastwood: Mitt Romney needs the chair back. He needs to sit in the corner and feel what it's like to be a victim of his own ego.
I am one of Romney's 47 percent. I am 65, drawing Social Security benefits and Medicare. I also used the GI Bill for my education and a VA loan for my first home. Romney doesn't qualify for the VA benefits since he spent his youth in France. Good luck, Republicans.
There is no way to express "elegantly" that 47 percent of the people don't matter. At last Romney has spoken his truth.
Do the 47 percent who seem to hate the rich want to be rich?
If you vote for Barack Obama and he's re-elected, you will forever regret the day you pulled that lever.
If you're not better off than you were four years ago, it's your own fault, not the government's.
Obama and his administration found an obscure YouTube video to blame for the attack on our Libyan consulate. This was meant to distract the world because the consulate was unprepared, even after being warned about potential Sept. 11 attacks.
And now the government requires us to obtain a government ID card before it will allow us to vote. Soon it will require us to register our firearms and get advance approval to purchase them. Did George Washington have to show his picture ID before he could vote? Whatever happened to original intent?
When Orly Taitz shows up in your state to participate in official state business, you know your state's political administration has officially jumped the shark.
A study says half of the U.S. population will be obese by 2030. Again I am ahead of my time. My body has beat back every attempt to lose weight.
Doesn't it seem backwards that everything in the Bible is absolute, but gravity is just a theory?
The ridiculous salary and benefit increases Chicago teachers have demanded are another example of the damage that public unions are causing. The states go broke and state taxes go ballistic.
Don't demonize the teachers and unions. The government is the bad guy.
I cannot find anything in the driving manual that says that drivers needs to lean and cut the corner when making their turns. I don't think most drivers ever learned to turn square corners turning into the proper lane.

Even the pickiest eaters won't turn down these pretty kabobs in conversation-heart candy colors. Use whatever combination of fruits you like, or make several different single-fruit skewers so that kids can pick the kind they like best.
You can make an ordinary apple extraordinary with just a few simple steps! Plus, apples have a high soluble fiber content, which may help regulate blood sugar. What's not to love?
You can't help but fall in love with these adorable, bite-sized tomato hearts—especially when they're dunked in a yummy, two-ingredient veggie dip.
You can dose for almost any treat, but why not contribute your own healthier heart-shaped snacks to the party or classroom celebration? Here are three fun ideas that may make the carb-counting a bit less stressful.
With just three ingredients, these Strawberry Santas are the perfect sweet treat for a holiday party. Older kids may even enjoy helping to make them. The best part: Each one has only 3 grams of carbs!
Even picky eaters tend to love string cheese sticks, and most have zero carb grams, making them an easy snack for kids with type 1 diabetes. It's what you do to the packaging that makes these particular cheese sticks so fun and festive!
This party platter is made up of virtually carbohydrate-free ingredients. What's even better is that you can tweak it to your children's likes and dislikes. That said, you may be pleasantly surprised at how much more responsive kids can be when healthy foods are simply presented in a different way. Tomatoes on their own may not be as appealing, but when they crown a colorful Christmas tree, little ones may just gobble them up.
Kids love helping out in the kitchen — and who doesn't need a sous chef when it's time to whip up munchies for special party or holiday breakfast? These recipes straight from Dishing It Up Disney Style: A Cookbook for Families with Type 1 Diabetes are the perfect way to involve the whole family in the feast!

Your client playing the tables in Vegas
Millions visit Sin City each year, and many are affluent.
October 15, 2012
Millions of tourists, many of them affluent, visit Las Vegas annually, making it a great location for out-of-home advertisers.
It's a slightly older crowd, with 70 percent of tourists age 40 or older, but they have plenty of money to spend, with nearly half making at least $80,000 per year.
One of the most popular methods of targeting Sin City visitors is having street teams hand out flyers promoting local businesses. Advertisers also employ traditional methods such as billboards, buses, taxis and the city's monorail system.
There are also new options for targeting gamblers in the casinos.
To find out how to get your client in front of tourists in Las Vegas, read on.
This is one in a Media Life series on buying out-of-home venues. They appear weekly.
Fast Facts
Targeting tourists in Las Vegas.
A number of vendors handle advertising, depending on the medium.
How it works
One of the best ways to reach a large number of people, including tourists, through out-of-home advertising in Las Vegas is on traditional billboards. There are also 35 digital billboards in the city, split into five separate networks based on location.
Transit is another effective way to target tourists, whether it's on city buses, the town's many taxis or on the Las Vegas monorail. Advertisers can also get more creative, such as renting and fully wrapping buses to transport convention-goers to and from the airport.
Street teams often distribute flyers on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Vegas Strip. Most of these flyers are for bars, clubs, shows and restaurants, and they can include some sort of call-to-action such as a coupon.
Most of the advertising inside casinos consists of banners and signage pushing shows, bars and clubs within that particular hotel or venue, but there is a new way to reach gamblers as they play.
A network of digital video screens 8.5 inches in diameter that run a loop of ads has been placed at gaming tables in eight casinos. There is no sound, but the ads can be videos up to 30 seconds long, or they can be static or animated.
The screens also include information specific to that gaming table, such as minimum and maximum wager, giving the gamblers a reason to look at the TVs. A portion of the loop is reserved for promotions within the casino.
Because the network is digital, advertisers can target in a number of ways, including time of day and location. They can also target more affluent tourists by using tables that are more high-stakes.
Las Vegas.
In August 3.34 million tourists visited the city, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, up from 3.29 million in August 2011. Year-to-date through August, 26.7 million people have visited, up 1.8 percent from last year.
The city has 122 casinos, according to the World Casino Directory.
And it has 150,161 hotel and motel rooms, according to the LVCVA.
How it is measured
Measurement methods depend on the media. Outdoor ads are usually measured using street traffic data, while casino advertisers use the number of visitors to estimate impressions.
What product categories work well
Recent or current Las Vegas advertisers include jewelry, auto, apparel, energy drinks, alcohol, entertainment, telecom, video games and retail.
In 2011, 51 percent of Las Vegas visitors were male and 49 percent female, according to GLS Research data provided by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Twelve percent were ages 21-29, 18 percent were 30-39, 22 percent were 40-49, 19 percent were 50-59, 9 percent were 60-64, and 20 percent were 65 and older.
Just 1 percent have an annual household income of $20,000 or lower, with 3 percent between $20,000 and $39,999, 14 percent between $40,000 and $59,999, 24 percent between $60,000 and $79,999, 17 percent between $80,000 and $99,999 and 32 percent at $100,000 or more. The remaining 9 percent didn't know or didn't answer.
Making the buy
Lead time varies depending on the medium used. Most outdoor media such as billboards and transit have typical lead times of three to four weeks. Lead time for digital ads in casinos can be shorter, a week or less.
Pricing also varies. Billboards can range from $10,000 to $50,000 per month, taxis from $200 to $2,000 per month per cab, and buses from $150 to $4,500 per month per bus. Digital ads in casinos are sold on a CPM basis, usually mid-single-digits.
Who's already been in Las Vegas
Current or recent brands that have advertised in Las Vegas include H&M, Speck, Jack Daniels, GM, Dodge, Guess, Rockstar, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Red Bull and Sprint.
What they're saying
"You've got people who are there willing to spend money. When they're done gambling they go to clubs, restaurants, shopping, to spas–they're out actively spending money. On the branding side, for the advertisers, Vegas is a shopping Mecca." — Jay Goldstein manager of the digital out-of-home division at Vector Media

A heavily peated nose of tar, iodine and notes of creosote. Some fruit gives way to delicate whirls of smoke, very full in body. The palate is, at first, smoky and medicinal, well-rounded and rich, but still soft. Sweetness creeps onto the fore followed by a belt of peat and a touch of malt. The finish is very well-balanced and smoky.
Please enter your details to make it easier for us to help you further.
One of the best I never tried. Peated, but with balance, this older version is better than the 10 years old.

The Paradox of Pacifism
Over the past few weeks, the foreign policy anti-interventionists—a coalition of cynical establishment "realists," blame-America-first leftists, and libertarian millennials disillusioned by the Iraq War—have given us a lot of excellent advice about the potential costs of getting involved in the conflict over Ukraine, about the dangers of escalation, about the virtue of caution.

Prelude for a Lord - names part 6 Sir Hermes
This is continuing my series explaining how I came up with the weird (and not so weird) names of my characters in Prelude for a Lord.
Bayard's stepfather, Sir Hermes Morrish
Sir Hermes was one of the easiest characters to name. He's a bit foolish, and very easy going. The Greek god Hermes is sometimes portrayed as the Fool, with abstract knowledge and child-like innocence.
When I looked up the meaning of the word, "moron," it mentioned the Latin word morus which means "foolish." I tweaked "morus" into Morrish for Sir Hermes' surname.
Sir Hermes is very carefree, with a boundless enthusiasm for life that makes Bayard's mother feel young and carefree herself. Sir Hermes is a considerable contrast to the personality of her late husband, Bayard's father, which might be why she remarried to a man like Sir Hermes Morrish.
Sir Hermes is rather self-absorbed. He charmed Bayard's widowed mother despite the fact he is slightly lower in social status and has less money than Bayard's family. However, Sir Hermes is a gentleman—he is not a commoner nor is he bankrupt.
He spends freely as the whim takes him, but is not extravagant. The reason is because he only gambles if the game entertains him, and most players are too stodgy and serious, so he doesn't play as much as he could and he's not too bad a loser.
I will confess that I modeled Sir Hermes's nephew, Mr. Robert Morrish, after Robert Ferrars in Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility. He is like a ginger colored horse, with big front teeth and weak chin. He looks a little like his cheerful uncle, Sir Hermes, but with shiftier eyes. He has a rather cruel wit, and he dances very well—better than Lord Dommick, alas.
Bayard's friends, the Quartet
I did come up with specific names for each of these young men, but I am also planning on writing their stories in future books, so I think I will not yet blog about the meanings behind their names. (I hear your collective cries of dismay!) If you're on my Camille Elliot newsletter, you'll be sure to hear when the next book in this series is available!
I hope you enjoyed this blog series! I had fun figuring out what to name each of my characters!

Book #4.2 in my Sonoma series, Unshakeable Pursuit, is only 99 cents, but sale ends December 31st. Get your copy before the price goes up!
Originally published in the Sealed with a Kiss anthology.
Doctor Geoffrey Whelan was in Japan when the tsunami hit, killing his cousin and grandmother. He has worked in medical missions for years to assuage his survivor's guilt, and now that he's back in Sonoma to help his family, he can't figure out why he still feels so wounded and God feels so far away.
Then a mysterious young woman warns him that he and nurse Maylin Kinley are in mortal danger.
Maylin notices that Geoffrey is not the same arrogant doctor she met years ago in Los Angeles. Now that they are working together again in a clinic in Sonoma, she fights her attraction towards him because his confident, forceful personality reminds her too much of her abusive ex-boyfriend, who called himself a Christian.
She has been steering clear of her handsome coworker—until Asian hit men attack the clinic and they are forced to run for their lives. Now they must race to figure out how the threat is connected to a young teenager whose life they saved—before everyone they love is caught in the crossfire.
This is book #4.2 in my romantic suspense Sonoma series, although each book can be read alone.

Cry Out to Jesus
For those of you who might be having a hard time this Christmas, here's one of my favorite songs. It was actually the theme song to my book, Treacherous Intent, because of the trauma the hero was going through after he came back from Afghanistan.
"Cry Out To Jesus" by Third Day
To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye
And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right
There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus
For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough
For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering
When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

Human RightsThe Crossing A look at tensions between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as the peril of one is faced with the success of the other. Viewfinder | 28 Feb 2014 12:16 GMT | Human Rights, Latin America, Angola, Brazil, Cuba Just over Haiti's frontier stands the Dominican Republic and the bright promise of education for their next generation. Fifteen-year-old Evens is one of the hundreds of young people who yearn to seize that opportunity. But it is the first step each day that is the most challenging. To attend school, they must illegally cross the border, via the Massacre River, the site where 20,000 Haitians were executed during the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. They strive to seize their fate and make their fortune, never quite certain if they will be allowed to cross and never quite sure if they will be permitted to remain in school. It is through Evens' story that we discover the stark differences between two countries on the same island that are divided by more than just a border. Filmmaker's view By Yara Costa On a beautiful, colourful Caribbean island, two countries have their backs turned to each other. Haiti and the Dominican Republic (DR) have shared this piece of land since the birth of the two nations, yet their co-existence has always been marked by violence, hostility and prejudice. The DR has a flourishing capitalist economy; Haiti is an impoverished nation where poverty has become a resource for an international industry that suppresses its people. But the contrasts between these two countries go beyond their economic disparities. Haiti celebrates its African heritage while the Dominican Republic rejects it. The differences in language, culture, and its people make the border only one of the many barriers separating the two countries. For Haitians, those barriers are even higher and sometimes impassable. Yara Costa "I am an independent filmmaker and freelance journalist, working on films about identity and migration issues. I left my country, Mozambique, in my early teenage years to go to study in Angola and later in South Africa. My passion for storytelling and the feeling of how unfairly nations of the so-called Third World are portrayed led me to Brazil where I studied journalism. There I discovered the documentary form, the most powerful tool for me to tell what I had to say. Later I got a Fulbright scholarship to do my Masters in documentary at the New York University, after which I made my first documentary about Chinese people in Africa. I continued my studies in documentary at EICTV in Cuba. For the past few years I have been based in Haiti working on Black Material, a documentary about African origins in Haitian identity. I personally do not believe in universal stories in filmmaking, because everyone tells their story differently. What I do believe is that it is the plurality and diversity of storytelling that will ultimately connect us all." However, there are people like Evens, a young Haitian boy who decided to be the master of his own destiny by crossing these barriers every day. It was his determination to change his life that inspired me to tell this story: The story of a Haitian boy who goes to the limits of crossing the border illegally and fights daily to get something he truly believes in - an education. Filming this story at the border of these countries enabled us to better see the differences and feel the tension between the two, as well as to understand how significant and important Evens' story is. Every time we crossed the bridge over the Massacre River, it felt like going from one continent to another. At the northern border of Ounaminhte and Dajabon, every day is a new day; each day could be a film, sometimes a horror film. When we first got there, a killing had just happened. A Dominican border soldier had assassinated a pregnant Haitian woman and her coffin was lying in the middle of the bridge as a sign of protest. There was a lot of tension and the gates were locked for a few days not allowing any movement between the two sides. Even though we had been granted permission to cross the border during filming, we could never predict what was going to happen the next day. Filming in this lawless context was quite challenging as the rules of the game were constantly changing. But being an outsider worked in our favour as we could navigate between the two worlds without getting personally involved in the conflict. It was interesting to notice how hard it could become for Evens and other Haitian students to cross the border and get into the DR, while only a few miles away his older sister, also Haitian, could cross into the DR without a passport because she was using a special gate that thousands of Haitians use every day to go work in a sweatshop, where they are paid less than $3 a day. While we were filming The Crossing, the DR's highest court ruled to revoke the citizenship of any Haitian descendants born after 1929. Two days later, Evens' school told him that he had 10 days to get all his papers certified by the Dominican Ministry of Education - a long and expensive bureaucratic process in both countries - or else he would be expelled from the school. Evens' story is extremely relevant as it touches on two major issues faced today by thousands of people around the globe: migration and access to education. Right now hundreds of Haitian children are crossing borders and other unthinkable obstacles in order to go to school. Evens is fighting against a culture of racism, discrimination, social inequality and poverty by showing that he too can be educated, thereby challenging negative perceptions of Haitians held by Dominicans and the rest of the world. These teenagers are the future of tomorrow. The effects of whether or not they are able to have an education will be felt not just in their homes communities, but across other borders in Latin America.

DECATUR, Ga. -- This year Decatur ordered new holiday decorations for their lamp posts.
But after receiving them, they called them "underwhelming" and decided to go back to the old decorations.
GALLERY | Decatur's holiday decorations
On the city's blog they posted:
OK, we agree, the new holiday decorations don't measure up to our standards. Rather than looking like swags, they look like upside down trees and they just don't work on the street lamps. Many of our holiday wreaths date back to 1996 and were starting to look shabby. We thought it would be a good idea to trade them out for something different and replace the oldest wreaths with an updated design. Boy were we wrong! So, when you mess up, admit it, take responsibility and fix it.
The city put up the old wreaths and plan on ordering new wreaths next season.
