USAID is helping Afghanistan become a more responsible and integrated member of the region and the world. Great strides have been made in health and education, bringing more Afghans back into economic and civic life.
Institutions that can accountably respond to people's needs and aspirations are being restored. Investments in infrastructure and human capital are making the country less vulnerable to insurgents and illicit business and more attractive for private-sector enterprise.
Since 1992, the U.S. Government has delivered foreign aid to support Albania's development, stability and integration into Europe. U.S. aid has helped Albania transition from the most isolated and repressive communist state in Europe to a democracy with a market-oriented economy.
Angola's low level of human development is at odds with its potential for economic prosperity, considering the country's wealth of natural resources. Much of this paradox is explained by the social disruption and physical destruction caused by 27 years of civil war. As sub-Saharan Africa's second largest oil producer and with its tremendous agricultural potential, the country could become a powerhouse for regional trade and investment. USAID focuses on strengthening good governance, increasing economic opportunity, and improving the delivery of social services.
Since 1992, USAID has provided a broad range of development programs in Armenia, shifting from an initial humanitarian emphasis to assistance for economic, political and social transition.
Despite significant economic growth in Asia, major impediments to sustainable development remain. Income inequality is increasing in the region, threatening to undermine the basis of sustainable economic growth. Asia also faces some of the world's most urgent environmental challenges. Three of the world's six largest greenhouse-gas emitting countries are in Asia and the region is particularly vulnerable to climate change and deforestation. Countries in Asia continue to suffer from the damaging impacts of infectious disease, including HIV/AIDS, avian influenza, malaria and tuberculosis.
Political, economic, and health reforms mutually reinforce the strategic goals of the U.S. and Azerbaijan Governments.
USAID programs in democracy and governance target efforts to increase institutional transparency in the Parliament and enhance its capacity to address civil society concerns. The programs also seek to advance the rule of law and provide legal advice for citizens opposed to corruption.
Economic growth programs aim to improve the development of the non-oil sector, with an emphasis on helping the agriculture sector to increase export competitiveness.
With its democratic traditions and active participation in international peacekeeping operations, Bangladesh is a key U.S. strategic partner in South Asia. Yet with nearly one in three people living in poverty, the country faces immense development challenges and currently finds itself at an important crossroads in its democratic evolution. The United States works to address the underlying factors that threaten Bangladesh's ability to serve as a voice for progress and stability in the region and beyond.
USAID's Eastern Caribbean program supports economic growth and health development activities in Barbados and six eastern Caribbean states--St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and Antigua and Barbuda.
The United States seeks to promote the emergence of a democratic and market-oriented Belarus that respects human rights. USAID works with a cross-section of the population to stimulate the country's transition to a market-based economy through programs that support citizen engagement in decision-making, encourage growth and competitiveness of private business, and improve social and health services' delivery.
In Benin, we are investing in people, expanding the use of family health services and preventative measures, ensuring that a quality basic education is more widely available, and assisting vulnerable and at risk populations.
USAID in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) contributes to U.S. Government objectives in the country by helping BiH progress toward a harmonized economy, effective and transparent government institutions with a strong civil society, and a multi-ethnic, tolerant society.
Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world and the largest in Latin America, has become a great economic power. The country has significantly reduced poverty and unemployment rates. It has diminished its dependence on external resources and is now a major partner in national and international development efforts. Nationally, Brazil continues to address rural poverty, income inequality, and social exclusion.
For more than 50 years, USAID has supported Brazil. Today, USAID works closely with the Brazilian government and civil society to build sustainable socio-economic development solutions.
USAID is building the resilience of vulnerable rural residents by:
In light of the transition underway in Burma, USAID sees a need and an opportunity to engage directly with organizations and institutions there to support political reforms, foster ethnic reconciliation and strengthen the capacity of reform-minded individuals and institutions.
As part of this renewed engagement, USAID is re-establishing an in-country mission, allowing us to partner more robustly with the people of Burma to address critical needs. This engagement will build on the already strong U.S. commitment to improving the welfare and well-being of the people in Burma.
In 2010, Burundi completed its second round of national elections following the 2000 Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Accords that provided a negotiated settlement to the nation's long-standing civil war. Domestic and international observers judged the elections to be free and fair, but the challenge of democratic consolidation remains critical—as does the need to demonstrate peace dividends to a population that is poorer today than when the conflict began in 1993.
Cambodia is transforming in remarkable ways. The country is at peace after decades of conflict, and a majority of Cambodians are optimistic about the future. However, important challenges remain. Parliamentary elections in 2008 were freer than any held in Cambodia. Yet political power remains unevenly spread, and opposition parties are disorganized, divided and subject to manipulation.
Cameroon is rich in natural resources and is a transportation hub for goods going to Chad and Central African Republic. However, very high levels of corruption, poor infrastructure and inefficient government create a difficult business environment that limits economic growth.
The Congo Basin is the second largest tropical rainforest in the world. It holds spectacular and rare biodiversity and serves as a massive carbon sink for greenhouse gases. It is also the source of food, shelter and livelihoods for approximately 60 million people who live in the region.

By Lily of the Desert
20 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Apr 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?3.02 lbs (1.37 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Yeah, it's definitely R/T. Same short dance they've been using all season.
Yeah, it's definitely R/T. Same short dance they've been using all season.
I am surprised Gachinski can land a quad in practice
and I like R/T short dance, they are very underrated
Found this on YouTube. Javi's short program practice.
Thanks for this.
Javiar looks great, but imho he needs more confidence in himself and his abilities, as I noticed at the beginning his equilibrium was off again; little mistakes like that is what cost him. Also, he did no jumps. He too is good-looking but he doesn't have the sex appeal of Artur & Daisuke. Jmho. But if he ever manages to skate completely clean he'll blow everybody away!
Yuzuru Practise
LP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv3ej...4vrLn6l5wbCho=
SP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b9MT...eature=channel
I'm so worry
Mao's SP practice:
I hope you enjoy.
Has Yuzru grown a lot recently? I never realized he had such long legs before. Maybe it's just the black practice clothes but to me, it looks like he's grown a few inches. That could be affecting his jumps. Hopefully it's just jetlag and getting adjusted to the ice though and he will kick butt in competition. My goodness, though, that boy is thin. I really think strength training could do wonders for him, it's amazing he manages to have the kind of power he does and jump so well being so slight like that. He turns sideways and like dissappears lol.
Kurt is on the job for CBC.
Hmm, I am not sure if being a male makes me not comprehend how some people think so and so is the bomb based on looks. I don't see any male skater equivalent to a Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie. Practice is practice look at V and T and K and S in pairs or poor B and S in dance; russia's skating future looks in jeoporady. Although in pairs they should pull through for 3 teams next year in dance it will be a struggle I and K need to stay ahead of the Italians and Shibutanis. And or B and S must pass both Americans; one seems doable but two... I wonder how Alyssa and Ashley are doing with their practices. I will be looking for Ash's triple triple.
I m excited, I havent seen Worlds on tv since 2009, I m practicing how I ll play ill at work on Friday to leave early or not go at all.

Extreme Weather Belief Like A "pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest"
There was a time when Warmists said "weather is not climate! Yeaaaarrrrrrg!" Now, because fewer and fewer are buying into what they push (which they themselves refuse to act on, as witnessed by the yearly working vacations in exotic locations which produced tens of millions of tons of CO2), they have now moved on to "extreme weather" (some, like Al Gore, have even moved on to "dirty weather") in order to blame every weather event, including snow and cold, on someone else living a modern life
(NY Post) Superstorm Sandy. Parching drought across North America. A scorching midsummer heat wave in the Midwest. All these weather extremes are telltale signs that CO2 causes climate change, according to global warmists.
Indeed, the global climate-change nomenklatura gathered last week in Doha, Qatar eagerly (if grimly) cited Typhoon Bopha, which had just wreaked carnage in the Philippines, as the latest proof.
But it's not. The link between extreme weather and global warming has as much scientific basis as the pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest.
There is no long term trends in "extreme weather" having gotten worse. In fact, in some cases, extreme weather has gotten better. More is available at Watts Up With That? Suffice to say, Warmists are being their typical barking moonbat selves. And still haven't given up their own fossil fueled vehicles, much less reduced their own fossil fuels usage.
Extremes are a natural part of our climate, which constantly changes and is rarely stable for extended periods. In fact, weather extremes are the "old normal," not a "new normal," as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon proclaimed in Qatar.
Why can't so many rational, well-educated people understand this simple fact? The answer may be superstition.
I'd ditch that talk about "rational, well-educated", as most who are believers in "climate change" have no interest in doing research themselves to determine the reality, and, when one throws around the phrase "climate change", they aren't interested in science, they're interested in politics.
Climate-change skeptics might be regarded as modern-day witches because they think that global warming comes from natural forces. However, it's superstitious alarmists, who believe that extreme weather originates in our CO2 emissions and who have a dread of impending disaster, who are really the witches.
They may have a dread, but, until they act like it's a crisis and make changes in their own lives, there's little reason to believe it is a crisis. And, let's be clear, the debate is not about warming: the Earth has warmed a few degrees since the end of the Little Ice Age. The debate is about causation.

The "after" shadows look worse to me. I actually prefer the soft shadows in the "before" picture.
Yeah, I didn't say anything about graphics in the email, but chose not to correct him, since he's not wrong. We have improved the graphics. Just doesn't show in those screens.
The "after" shadows look worse to me. I actually prefer the soft shadows in the "before" picture.
That's basically a work in progress, the plan is to soften the shadows where appropriate(i.e when the caster is further away from the shadowed surface).
I mean in the linked google+ screenshot, not in the article screenshots.
You edited your post after I posted, so now it looks all weird
Fact is, those old shadows weren't "soft." They were horrifyingly pixelated (1/16 the resolution on each axis, or 1/256 the total pixels,) and when OpenGL rendered them, it would sort of blur them a bit to make it look less horrifying. But in the process you lost loads of detail, and in places the pixels were still easily visible. This was one of the last pieces of graphics tech left untouched since the Quake II engine, and desperately needed an update. Now it's the same basic code, but at a higher resolution.
Last edited by MaxToTheMax; 08-24-2012 at 02:44 PM.
Why, then we need that comparison shot at a higher resolution than the 960xsomething. I can't discern any pixelation in that small pic, maybe post a full-HD one?
That's a limitation of Google Plus-- it won't let you zoom in on photos properly. This is an example of the sort of pixelation I'm talking about:
The shadows are blurred, but you can still make out each pixel.
My laptop monitor isn't big enough to do full 1080p.

Martin Celebrates 175th Anniversary with a Charitable Auction at Christie's on October 10
Christie's Fine Musical Instruments department is pleased to announce its forthcoming sale including over 200 lots of exceptional guitars and violins. As the veritable market leader, Christie's consistently offers superior works at auction and this fall's sale is no exception. Leading off the sale is property from the collection of C. F. Martin and Company. This unique selection, of nearly 50 guitars, is comprised of hand-made prototypes never before offered for sale to the public. The proceeds from the sale of these limited edition and signature model guitars will go to benefit the non-profit Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation. Also included in the sale will be other important vintage and classical guitars by Gibson, Fender, Francisco Simplicio, Manuel Ramirez and others. Christie's will also be offering fine instruments of the violin family, of which the top is a violin ascribed to Antonio and Omobono Stradivari. Known as The Baldiani, circa 1730, it possesses a rich and interesting provenance, tracing it back to Italian Countess Baldiani by way of Suzanne Chaigneau, the daughter-in-law of virtuoso Joseph Joachim.

I have never seen a NA comic before, so thanks for sharing, Sorceresses Comic helmet and look is AMAZING!!! I dont like the character at all, but if she came like that I would LOVE her!
also I cant believe how Graphic Skeletors injuries are....Mattel REALLY made an effort to grow up with NA...Bravo!
Don't worry, I'll redeem myself when they reveal some New Adventures Heroes, and some 200x characters that AREN'T in the Council of Evil (Evil Seed, Giants) or Evil Horde members (Calix).
In fact I'll be "on the fence" this month for The Faceless One and Battleground Teela til the very last minute. I guess it'll depend if I want to spend the money come the 15th since these two don't really do much for me at all.
I love that helmet that the Sorceress is wearing in the mini comic! But, given the option I'd prefer the way she appeared in the NA toon.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
I'd love this version of the Sorceress, possibly more than getting the 200X version first. She's so different... who knows, maybe this could be Teela's costume and she eventually goes with He-Man to Primus.
If the rights to the cartoon become available, I'd prefer this version before the cartoon version.
In terms of costumes, I'd hope a release order might go something like this...
-NA Mini comics
-NA cartoon
But seriously, I'd love them all.
I love an all inclusive canon!

This is a perfect option for a quarterly variant... or dare I say: sub exclusive! Incidentally, I truly believe NA Sorceress to be some kind of techno spirit form... born into existence after her death in the bios.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I want this version AND the cartoon NA version. I also think this comic version of NA Sorceress is a GREAT candidate for a subscription exclusive.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
I prefer the NA cartoon version but this would do.
Who is she?
If this Variant will be released, is it a Sorceress Variant or a Teela Variant?
Maybe they find a way to bring her back or never really kill her off or something who knows what will happen....and as NA Sorcress she never had a real body anyway...
MOTUC is like a new timeline or something.
NA Teela from the Jetlag Cartoon is now possible as action figure but story wise not an option....?
Who would she be?
Last edited by Niki; August 28, 2011 at 08:12pm.
Oh gosh, YES! I would like two heads for her, too: Jetlag and minicomic, with a hybrid outfit perhaps...
I also want these versions of her:
-Pink (2 pack with pink Teela?)
But it's true...this would likely be Teela, right? Unless her mom went digital at death...!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
I REALLY hope we get the comic version first! She can replace my NA custom.
With a little bit of creative tooling, there's not THAT big of a difference between Jetlag and Mini Comic versions. I think they could do a combo outfit, or an interchangeable one a la Marlena.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
I never saw the NA series as a kid. We had cable and all that and I can't recall ever seeing the cartoon on some schedule.
It was only recently that I got my hands on a used season 1 dvd and I got caught up on the series. The show was decent and I liked a lot of characters.
One of whom was the Sorceress. I thought the future Sorceress looked great, but I got a gut feeling that she was meant to be black. Every time I saw her, I just felt that she should have been a black woman.
I really hope the 4H go that way when they come to sculpting her.

This is how I think they will treat NA Sorceress. She was always an apparition or astral projection in the NA cartoon and mini-comics.
It's like Obi Wan after he died.
That way she's still around, but Teela can be the Sorceress too.
I prefer the mini-comic version. A lot of people might buy 2: one to use as NA Sorceress, and one to make into white space suit Marlena.
A Want List of Sorts: Saurod, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Snake Mountain, Prahvus, Veena, King Chuboolu, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.

Imo, it would have been better to update to 'old' version a bit, which would have created a better feeling of continuity between MotU and NA. In any case, a Sorceress without wings is a no go for me.
But, for those of you who like here: I hope you'll get her!

this is an excellent tea. It has great taste and benefits of drinking it as well. I'm going to miss it. This tea is being discontinued. I was a bit surprised to get the review on what they will not sale anymore. :( The flavor is something that I don't find on any grocer's shelf and I'm glad to have had been introduced to this great tea.

I was very excited to try this tea. While it does have an excellent aroma, I was disappointed by how weak the flavor is. You can definitely smell the blackberries and spices. I just wish the flavor was a little bit stronger. Otherwise, it is a decent tea.

Thanks for asking. The supplier from which we obtain the natural flavoring will not reveal the exact ingredients to us, as they consider it to be proprietary.We do require the suppliers to inform us if any of the following components are in the flavor so we can label them on the ingredient line:
eggs, dairy, celery, soy, treenuts, peanuts, wheat, fish, shellfish, seafood, gluten and sulfites.
Also, we do not include monosodium glutamate (also known as MSG), hydrolyzed protein (sometimes known as hydrolyzed vegetable protein or HVP) or autolyzed yeast extract under the term 'natural flavor' in the ingredient line.
Your best source for ingredient information is the ingredient line on the product packaging.
When labeling products, we consider - and label for - all possible sources of the 8 major allergens recognized by the FDA. These are eggs, fish, crustacean, shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts and wheat. Kraft also labels for additional allergens or substances of interest including celery, mustard, lupin, mollusks, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, poppyseeds, cottonseed, all sources of gluten, and sulfites in levels over 10 ppm. If any of these substances are added to the product, they will be listed in the Ingredient Statement.
If a Kraft/Nabisco product contains gluten, the gluten source will be listed in the ingredient line, no matter how small the amount.
All gluten-containing ingredients will be identified by commonly known terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye, Triticale, Spelt, Kamut, Mir or Farina (also known as Far or Farro)
The vast majority of our products clearly identify the eight major food allergens (eggs, fish, shellfish, milk, peanuts, soy, tree nuts and wheat) in common terms, such as milk, wheat or eggs, that are familiar to consumers, in addition to the more technical terms required by food labeling laws.
Have a great day!

Work and a busy schedule can leave you craving some fun and relaxation. A rejuvenating quick Caribbean cruise break not only gets you away from it all but returns you to your life inspired, refreshed and feeling ready to be more productive than ever.
East of Central America is the Caribbean Sea and the vast array of islands that make up the Caribbean region. Some of these are island nations such as Jamaica or a nation comprised of several islands such as the Bahamas.
The Caribbean is a great choice for a quick getaway as it not only offers an exotic holiday close to mainland USA but the number of islands in a relatively small area means a fun and varied Caribbean vacation is possible within a short time frame and without a lot of travel time between destinations. Ports of call are not far from each other so traveling between them will take a few hours at most. This means that you spend most of your Caribbean vacation at the destinations rather than at sea.
Another advantage to choosing a Caribbean cruise is the variety among the islands. From night life, authentic Caribbean cuisine, sports, places of historical interest and friendly, vibrant local communities the full range of relaxing and exciting holiday activities can be found in the shortest Caribbean tour. Cruises can range from six to fifteen days and the peak season for weather is June, July and the first half of August. This period has little strong wind. Winds are at their strongest from mid August until October.
Most inhabitants of the Caribbean islands speak English (with differing dialects) which is an additional advantage to US travelers. Different currencies are used throughout the Caribbean but many of these are linked to the US Dollar and often have a fixed exchange rate. This offers the advantage of avoiding exchange rates which leave you paying out more than you bargained for.
A Caribbean cruise presents the opportunity for many unique activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling for both beginners and experts. Impressive coral reefs and ghostly ship wrecks give the Caribbean its reputation as one of the best places to dive in the world. Various locations offer the chance to swim with stingray, dolphins and even sharks. If the idea of an underwater adventure appeals to you then you might consider a ride in a Scenic Underwater Bubble submarine which works a bit like an underwater moped and does not require familiarity with diving equipment and procedures.
Hiking in the Caribbean takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable. Wildlife fanatics can head to nature reserves to try and glimpse creatures such as the green tail monkey or Caribbean fruit bat. It is possible to go on Jeep tours of plantations and tropical areas.
Golfers will be spoiled for choice with a range of challenging and unusual courses. Sailing enthusiasts can hire boats and either enjoy the waters or visit nearby islands. With the white sandy beaches and crystal clear water there may never have been a better place to indulge in some surf.
The Caribbean is a paradise for the active traveler as well as those who like to sit and appreciate the sunset as they enjoy a beach barbecue buffet and a rum cocktail. With so many options within easy reach on a Caribbean cruise there's no reason not to have and do it all.
The Leeward Islands earned their name because they lie in the lee of the wind: the prevailing trade winds are blowing towards them from the east north east. They are situated near the meeting point of the Caribbean sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Although they are closely clustered they have had diverging histories of occupation and colonization, and some are still a part of the overseas territories of European nations.
From north to south the main islands are Anguilla, St Martin, Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis, Antigua and Montserrat, together with smaller islands including St Barthelemy and Saba. Many Caribbean cruises combine multiple stops at these islands on one itinerary. They should not be confused with the Society Islands of French Polynesia, which are also sometimes referred to as Leeward Islands.
Early settlers on the islands were Amerindian tribes who migrated in successive waves either southwards from what is now Florida or northwards from present-day Venezuela, as long ago as 3000 BC according to archaeological evidence. The original stone age tribes were replaced by the agricultural societies of the Saladoids and Arawaks, who were in their turn ousted by the warlike Caribs. The Caribs were the remaining indigenous inhabitants when Spanish explorers arrived in the 15th century.
The citizens of the Leeward Islands are largely descended from the African slaves introduced in the 18th and early 19th centuries to work in the sugar cane plantations, and most islands have more than 90% of their population derived from this ethnic group. The remainder are descended from the original European plantation owners and the indentured servants who came in large numbers from India, as well as from China, Ireland and Scotland. St Martin adds to the mix with its descendants of Dutch and French colonists.
English is the predominant language, plus French and Dutch of course on St Martin. Both English-based and French-based Creole are also spoken. The East Caribbean dollar is the prevailing currency. St Martin is odd man out again, circulating the Netherlands Antilles guilder in the Dutch area and the Euro in the French region. The US dollar is widely accepted throughout the islands.
Cricket is widely played and followed in the former British territories. Music, as in the rest of the Caribbean, is a big part of life, and calypso, soca, steelpan, reggae, salsa and jazz all have their adherents. Major celebrations include the St Kitts Christmas and New Year carnival and annual music festival, and Anguilla's Emancipation Day and Culturama festival on August 1st.
Caribbean cruises as well as land-based tourism is an important part of the economy for all of the islands. Many of them also rely on their status as a tax haven to promote offshore financial services as a source of government revenue.
With such an ethnic melting-pot to draw on, it is not surprising that the cuisine of the Leeward Islands is rich and varied. It is influenced by native Caribbean heritage as well as African, French, Dutch, British and Asian influences. There is an emphasis on local seafood, including prawns, crab, lobster, mahi mahi, marlin and many other kinds of fish. Salt cod is popular in Anguilla. Many islanders enjoy goat meat, a legacy of the animals left behind by early seafarers in the hope of finding fresh meat to harvest on their return. St Kitts & Nevis in particular has good rich soil for growing fresh produce.
The Leeward Isalnds are a part of the northern section of the Lesser Antilles islands of the Caribbean. Anguilla (18 15N, 63 10 W) is the most northerly of the cluster, and Montserrat (16 45 N, 62 12 W) the most southerly, and they dot the surface of the ocean in an arc shape, reflecting their geological origin at the meeting point of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates. Some now separate islands appeared as a single landmass during the last Ice Age, when the sea level was lower.
Anguilla is a flat coral and limestone island about 16 miles (26 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) wide. Total area is roughly 35 square miles (91 sq km). Its population is approximately 14,000, concentrated in the island's capital, The Valley. There is little farming as a result of the poor soil. The economy is based on tourism, and offshore banking and financial services.
Taken together, the Dutch and French areas of St Martin total about 33 square miles (87 sq km), with a population estimated to be in the region of 80,000. Philipsburg is the Dutch region capital, while Marigot is the major settlemt in the French area. Pic Paradis is the highest peak at 1380 ft (420 m). There are no rivers, and the island was valued by early colonial powers for the sake of its salt ponds.
Antigua is 14 miles (23 km) long and 11 miles (18 km) wide, with a total area of 108 square miles (280 sq km). Its highest point is Boggy Peak, 1319 ft (402m). Barbuda, by contrast, is a flat coral island of 68 square miles (176 sq km). The combined population of Antigua and Barbuda is approximately 68,000, and the nation's capital is St. John's.
The islands of St Kitts & Nevis have a combined area of approximately 100 square miles (260 sq km) and a population of around 50,000. The capital, Basseterre, is on the island of St Kitts, which has three ranges of volcanic peaks: the Mount Misery Range, the Verchilds Rage and the Olivees Range. Its highest peak is the dormant volcano Mount Liamuiga, 3,790 ft (1,156 m). The sea channel between St Kitts and Nevis is about two miles (3 km) wide.
Montserrat is about 10 miles (16 km) long and 7 miles (11 km) wide. Like St Kitts, its interior is mountainous and volcanic.
The last five centuries have been an era of colonial occupation, followed by independence in the late 20th century for some islands. Large-scale sugar cane plantations on the more fertile islands led to the importation of thousands of slaves from Africa, and indentured labor from Europe and Asia after the abolition of slavery in the early part of the 19th century.
The islands were occupied by a variety of colonial powers. Anguilla was settled by Britain in 1650 and remains under British rule. There was a very brief era of French occupation in 1666, and a short period of self-proclaimed independence in the 1960s.
St Martin's history is more turbulent. Christopher Columbus is believed to have landed there on St Martin's day in 1493. He named it 'Isla de St Martin' and claimed it for Spain, but the Spanish never occupied it. The island was divided between the Netherlands and France in the 1648 Treaty of Concordia, but for the following 150 years ownership was disputed by the French, the Dutch and the British. The Treaty of Concordia resumed in 1816, and the island remains divided into the Dutch area of Saint Maarten and the French area of Saint Martin. In the 40-year period from 1960 to 2000 the island was devastated by three hurricanes, Donna, Luis and Lenny.
Antigua and Barbuda were established as British colonies from 1632 and shared in the sugar cane and slavery history common to most of the Leeward Islands. Construction of a British naval dockyard began in 1725, and the most famous officer to serve there was Captain (later Admiral) Horatio Nelson. The restored dockyard remains, as part of Antigua's national park. The nation of Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from Britain in 1981.
St Kitts & Nevis were claimed for Spain by Christopher Columbus in 1493, but settled by the French from 1538. The British and French together wiped out the indigenous inhabitants and divided the island between them in the 1620s. Tobacco farming was introduced, followed by sugar cane and the inevitable African slaves. British and French rule alternated until 1783, when it became British. Independence from Britain was gained in 1983.
Montserrat is a British overseas territory first colonized in 1632. Its sugar cane, rum and slavery based economy largely failed in the 19th century, and agriculture mostly returned to subsistence smallholdings. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo damaged 90% of the island's buildings and crippled tourism. Further blows were dealt by the 1995 and 1997 eruptions of the Soufriere Hills volcano, which buried Plymouth, the capital, and killed nineteen people. Half the population left the island, and there was a further eruption in 2003. However, tourism is gradually recovering, following the construction of a new capital and airport.
Montserrat and Anguilla are separate British overseas territories. In Anguilla there were rebellions and a short-lived unilateral declaration of independence in the late 1960s, when the citizens objected to being included in the territory of St Kitts and Nevis.
French Saint Martin is an overseas collectivity of France, and Dutch Saint Maarten is one of four constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The nations of Antigua & Barbuda and St Kitts & Nevis (officially the Federation of St Christopher and Nevis) are independent states governed by parliamentary democracy. They are members of the British-led Commonwealth of Nations, and recognize the British reigning monarch as their head of state. St Kitts & Nevis have a tourism-related program which allows foreigners to apply for citizenship after making a substantial investment in local real estate. There is some internal tension stemming from a growing movement in Nevis towards secession from the union with St Kitts.
The Leeward Islands, a geographical grouping with an essentially shared history, have developed over time into six separate nations. They have a common interest in tourism, and in economic and cultural advancement for their ethnically diverse but essentially harmonious populations.
The Leeward Islands enjoy a tropical climate, tempered by the northeasterly trade winds. There is little seasonal variation, although the second half of the year, the wet season, is rainier and slightly warmer. The best time to travel on a Caribbean cruise is the first half of the year. Temperatures usually range between 81°F and 95°F (27°C and 35°C). Annual rainfall averages about 40 to 50 inches (1016 to 1270 mm). Nearly every island had been severely damaged by hurricane activity in its recent history.
Bats are the most common mammal encountered on the Leeward Islands. Introduced mammals include deer and the Indian mongoose. Lizards, tortoises, geckos and iguanas are the most common reptiles. Barbuda has a frigate bird sanctuary, including 5,000 frigate birds and 170 other species.

Hoping to pass on some of the tricks I've learned and learn some new ones thereby disproving an old adage about dogs (or should that be an adage about old dogs?).
I have degrees in mathematics and computer engineering.
Professionally I use mostly C and C++ (for utilities I use Java, Perl, PHP, bash and even Prolog and LISP -- the right tool for the right job). I work a lot with big data sets and algorithmic optimization.
Recreationally I use Objective-C, C++ and C for iOS tinkering.
I have been both a programmer and manager on large projects.
