Pfau, Wade Donald and Giang, Thanh Long (2008): Gender and Remittances in Vietnam.
MPRA_paper_9928.pdf Download (91kB) | Preview |
Since the 1990s, Vietnam has experienced a dramatic growth in remittance flows. This paper uses the Vietnam Living Standard Surveys for 1992/93 and 1997/98 to study the role of gender in these remittance flows, both from the perspective of receiving and sending remittances. Knowing about gender differences will help to better explain the impact of remittances and to understand the nature of gender roles during a time of economic transformation. We find important distinctions, such as a responsibility among women for the intergenerational transfers of remittances (particularly between parents and children) while men tend to take more responsibility for intragenerational remittances. As well, after controlling for other factors and sharing remittances between spouses who live together, we find evidence that women have a higher likelihood to both send and receive remittances.

well communism is supposed to be where everybody gets the same as everyone else.
i think thats great. The idea of it is anyway.
like Luminous says everyone gets paid the same. Cause in my opinion everyone contributes the same to a community.
And i think i ment to say that communism would be my first choice but it wouldn't work cause you would need every single country.
sorry if it didn't come out clear.
but democracy would be my second choice.
You mean that the only reason people become doctors is because of the money? Harsh!Trust me, what your saying is that people should be payed the same, that would screw everything up. It would elimate the motivation for people to get a higher education.
That aside, of course, I did concede that the idea of individual profit drives forth technological innovation. An inherant problem of Communism is that people only work as hard as the laziest person in the bunch. I by no means think Communism is a perfect system, but it has its merits. The rich/poor gap always widens in Capitalist society, so there's a problem in that system as well I think.
Your missing another form of Government which is what the US is really founded to be. The US isant a pure Democrocy or Republic, its something I cant remember what it was but it was the combination of Democratic and Republic. Damn I cant remember what it was, my girlfriend knows and told me and I cant remember exactly. I will let you know ASAP when the next time I see her. Any way like I said its the combination of the best veiws and ideas from Democratic and Republic ideas. The problem is that very few people really know about it and understand it so they chop it in half so they can get a better idea it but by doing so they completely miss the point of the combination of the two when in fact we need some one in offece that is sitting on the priverbial fence of both Democratic and Republican.
No government would be the best government for me...I think all governments are corrupted somewhat, so yea, no gov
1st Sig finished 12-20-09
Dude im not stupid i know that...
And im not particularly pissed at the government, I never said that, its just that almost all the counrties have some sercertacy hidden deep within in their government, or the upper ups people. Like a wrong doing of money, or starting a war based on their personal gain, or anything really
I would rather rely on man's good nature, and live with no government control.
1st Sig finished 12-20-09
I did not mean any insalt and I did not say you were stupid or even think it.
So what your saying is that you prefure a more pure form of Socielism Anarchy like a comunity holding. Its Anarchy in that there is no Goverment but the society works together for the comen good and laws made and agreed apon by those in the comunity where every one works a specific task and roll in their society.
The problem with this form is that there is no drive to divelop or adance. Not just on a persanel level but also on a technologicol level. This form of comunle society is perfect for agroculture but it is impossible to reproduce the same in industrial cultures which require a form of Goverment and regulation.
What really needs to change and evolve is not so much Government but rather people in general. If you think about it Humans have not evolved much as a species, only our Technology has. We Humans are stunted in behavure and that behavure needs to evolve and divelop.

So... You all wanted this (well... half of you at least... I can't believe I almost tied with Tali yet... wtf?), it got like 50 votes between DA and NG watchers... and since I've reached the 2000 watchers mark (between both sites)... I thought about giving you some weird eyecandy.
Yeah... here "I am" -.-u Welcome to the most bizzarre piece I had to do so far (and I did weird stuff alright xD) for all of you... GENDERBENDED FATELOGIC!!!
Just one thing...
Keep your hands were I can see them... -.-

Ok, who's this a genderbend of again. Other than that, this is some great work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I have no idea what to say here.
I'm not really sure whether to fuck her or not,since it's a genderbent version of you....
What would u do with her?
No comments.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Hmm... Well, there's a quite a bit of detail put in. I like the bar atmosphere, it gives off a sense of what you might be into -- talking about the alcohol and music, by the way, just in case you get the wrong idea. >.>
By the way, that bar stool sure is rather tiny for someone to sit on, are you sure people wouldn't want to cushion that a bit? Well, whatever, your artwork, mate. This is just my opinion.
Excelente, amigo! ^^

django-admin-bootstrapped 2.4.0
A Bootstrap theme for Django Admin
A Django admin theme using Bootstrap. It doesn't need any kind of modification on your side, just add it to the installed apps.
- Django ==1.7
Django 1.6 has been supported up to the 2.3.x series
Django 1.7 will be supported up to the 2.4.x series
- Download it from PyPi with pip install django-admin-bootstrapped
- Add into the INSTALLED_APPS before 'django.contrib.admin':
- Have fun!
For a full bootstrap3 experience you may want to use a custom renderer for the fields. There's one available in tree that requires the django-bootstrap3 application installed. You have to add to your project settings file:
DAB_FIELD_RENDERER = 'django_admin_bootstrapped.renderers.BootstrapFieldRenderer'
Messages will have alert-info tag by default, so you may want to add Bootstrap 3 tags for different message levels to make them styled appropriately. Add to your project settings file:
from django.contrib import messages MESSAGE_TAGS = { messages.SUCCESS: 'alert-success success', messages.WARNING: 'alert-warning warning', messages.ERROR: 'alert-danger error' }
Now, adding messages like this:
messages.success(request, "My success message") messages.warning(request, "My warning message") messages.error(request, "My error message")
will result into this:
Translate/change an application name with a template
This will be removed in 2.5.0
With a version of django < 1.7 you can't change the application name, but django-admin-bootstrapped let you do it in a really easy way. Create a file named admin_app_name.html into the application's template folder. Eg: myapp/templates/admin_app_name.html or project/templates/myapp/admin_app_name.html.
You can also change the default Django Administration title, just add a admin_title.html file into your project/templates/admin/ folder.
Add custom html to the change form of any model with a template
You can inject custom html on top of any change form creating a template named admin_model_MODELNAME_change_form.html into the application's template folder. Eg: myapp/templates/myapp/admin_model_mymodelname_change_form.html or project/templates/myapp/admin_model_mymodelname_change_form.html.
Inline sortable
You can add drag&drop sorting capability to any inline with a couple of changes to your code.
First, add a position field in your model (and sort your model accordingly), for example:
class TestSortable(models.Model): that = models.ForeignKey(TestMe) position = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField("Position") test_char = models.CharField(max_length=5) class Meta: ordering = ('position', )
Then in your admin.py create a class to handle the inline using the django_admin_bootstrapped.admin.models.SortableInline mixin, like this:
from django_admin_bootstrapped.admin.models import SortableInline from models import TestSortable class TestSortable(admin.StackedInline, SortableInline): model = TestSortable extra = 0
You can now use the inline as usual. See the screenshots section to see what the result will look like.
This feature was brought to you by Kyle Bock. Thank you Kyle!
XHTML Compatible
Compatible with both html and xhtml. To enable xhtml for your django app add the following to your settings.py: DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE = 'application/xhtml+xml'
Generic lookups in admin
All that needs to be done is change the admin widget with either formfield_overrides like this:
from django_admin_bootstrapped.widgets import GenericContentTypeSelect class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): formfield_overrides = { models.ForeignKey: {'widget': GenericContentTypeSelect}, }
Or if you want to be more specific:
from django_admin_bootstrapped.widgets import GenericContentTypeSelect class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs): if db_field.name == 'content_type': kwargs['widget'] = GenericContentTypeSelect return super(SomeModelAdmin, self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs)
If you decide on using formfield_overrides you should be aware of its limitations with relation fields.
This feature (and many more) was brought to you by Jacob Magnusson. Thank you Jacob!
Every code, documentation and UX contribution is welcome.
Found an issue? Report it in the bugtracker!
Have some free time? Help fixing an already filed issue, just remember to work on a separate branch please.

Introduction: Located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, ECO-NOMIC has managed the environmental assessment and remediation of a wide range of properties over the last twenty years. Besides publishing standard phase 1 and phase 2 environmental reports, our scope of work has included forensic site reconstruction, chemical cleanup of a range of farm and industrial sites plus cleanup of public lands and state parks. We perform environmental assessment of municipal property for sale and check high risk property such as former military and defense sites (FUDS). Few tasks in the environmental field are beyond the scope of this company and its associated experts. Besides cleanup work, ECO-NOMIC designs standard and alternative septic systems for environmentally difficult sites, specializing in resorts.
How We Work: We at ECO-NOMIC favor the conservative approach to environmental assessment and remediation projects. In spite of a gyrating economy and shifting political winds, true environmental problems persist through it all.
The Challenge: In spite of the current greening fad most people still consider green investment speculative. The environmental field is still a relatively new area for most. The truth is most people could not name a single ecosystem and we all pass through them daily.
Why: The need for environmental assessment may come as a surprise notice from the government, or a bank. Some companies want to shift their operations to be more compatible with growing environmental thinking and laws. The focus of our work is not to strike a balance, but rather to strike a high note for our clients. Both of our conservative natures are nourished and overall conditions are improved.
Where We Work: Located between Seattle and Spokane, the Columbia River Basin is the State's food production and food storage and soon data storage headquarters. The Hanford Site where the plutonium production facility for the

hydroskin or farmer john
Posted by: nickjc on Oct-01-12 2:46 PM (EST)
NRS hydroskin is about the right weight or a 3mm farmer john for extra cold. I paddled my surf ski in my farmer john and a hydroskin top last winter in 33F wind and snow and I was just right. I raced my SK in a farmer john and polypro top and was still sweating in below freezing temps. There was ice on the boats at the start. Another good option are the 3mm NRS rodeo pants and a hydroskin or wind breaker vest on top of a polypro top.
I made the mistake of trying my drysuit once in PNW winter conditions(barely above freezing rain and wind). I was saturated inside fairly quickly. Goretex can not keep up with a decent workout pace.

Wearable and Pervasive Computing: Seamless Computing Environment (continued) Suppose you are rushing to a meeting to give a presentation. The pervasive computing system transfers the state of your work from your desktop to your wearable, allowing you to make final edits and additions using voice commands while walking. As you enter the meeting, your wearable senses its location and transmits your presentation to the projector. The computing environment knows where you are, knows who is with you and triages your incoming messages. If it is urgent and confidential, you get a silent "tap on the shoulder" or a private "whisper" from your wearable's tactile and audio interface. If it is for everyone, the caller (or a text version of their message) is flashed on a wall screen. While giving the presentation, the room's face recognition system senses an unfamiliar face present and silently advises you to not present a slide with confidential data. Meanwhile, you have the whole meeting automatically videotaped, transcribed, and indexed-either by an in-room system or by a "flight recorder"-type wearable. You can pull out selected notes quickly, and watch instant reply of key moments. Furthermore, interaction with the computer will be at the task level. Rather than thinking about icons and files, and going through a sequence similar to a series of pedestrian steps, you will think in terms of tasks. For example, you will tell your computer, "I want to make a presentation, and this is what I want to include." Or, "prepare my trip to MIT" and it will automatically prepare what you need for a successful trip, such as your presentation files, hotel reservations, and maps. The vision embodied in this research will help us break away from a forty-year computing machine preoccupation to a new era of people-centric computing, focusing our technologies increasingly on human needs, augmenting their capabilities and productivity, ushering in an age of distraction-free computing. |

©1937 Agatha Christie Mallowan; (P)2002 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, London UK
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"An entertaining mystery from the 1930's"
This is an excellent Agatha Christie novel, with Hercule Poirot as the investigator of a possible murder. The story flows so well that it illustrates why the author was so successful. It is a story set in the late 1920's or early 1930's ( I think) with all of the sensibilities of that era. There were many red herrings, so I did not predict the solution, but the explanation made sense and was therefore completely satisfying. The narration, by High Fraser, was good and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the novel.
"A cracking detective novel"
Perfect for a long journey on a winter's day, Dumb Witness makes the time fly. Bob, the 'dumb witness' of the title, made a far better detective than I did and I needed Hercule's elegant expose at the end to let me into the secret of 'who dunnit'! Most enjoyable.

Spicy Three-Bean Pantry Chili
This vegetarian chili gets its rich flavor from caramelizing tomato paste and warming herbs, rather than long hours of cooking. You can[ amp up the heat by using a spicy salsa or some of the adobo paste (though the chile itself is pretty hot). Add corn for some sweetness, or canned hominy for a chunkier and funkier chili.]
- Total Time:
- 40 min
- Prep:
- 10 min
- Cook:
- 30 min
- Yield:
- 6 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 chipotle in adobo, smashed with a fork into a fine paste
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Two 16-ounce jars mild salsa (about 3 1/2 cups)
- Three 15-ounce cans beans, such as kidney, black and pinto beans, or your preference, drained (but not rinsed)
- One 15-ounce can hominy or corn, drained (but not rinsed)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- Serving Suggestions: Tortilla chips and sliced pickled jalapenos
Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste and cook, smearing and stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula or flat-edged wooden spoon, until dark and aromatic, about 90 seconds. Add the chipotle, chili powder and oregano, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the salsa and 1 1/4 cup water. Stir in the beans and hominy. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan with a lid. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
Remove the chili from the heat, stir in the cider vinegar and let stand 1 minute. Fluff the rice with a fork, divide it among 6 serving bowls and top with the chili. Serve with pickled jalapenos and tortilla chips, if desired.

Welcome to the award-winning Journalism Department at Palomar College. The Journalism Program offers associate's degrees and certificates in print journalism. Students can pursue coursework in news writing, reporting, editing, photojournalism and computerized page layout and design.
This program doesn't waste time just lecturing at students. This is a hands-on program. Palomar faculty shows students how to do the work and then makes students try it. You will leave this program with the skills to immediately get a job in journalism.
Journalism students gain hands-on experience by joining the staff of Palomar's student newspaper, The Telescope, or campus magazine, called IMPACT Magazine.
We just learned that our campus newspaper won first or second for General Excellence from the California Newspaper Publishers Association. We will find out more in May 2015! Congrats to the hard-working student staff.
Here is an article in the North County Times about some of our awards. Here is an article from The Telescope newspaper about the Fall 2014 conference.
Palomar's journalism faculty includes experienced professionals with specialized academic training. Journalism students learn reporting, writing, photography, design and multimedia skills. The journalism facility includes a multiple-workstation Macintosh computer lab in a brand new building. Students complete their assignments using state-of-the-art software including Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, WordPress, Final Cut Pro, and Microsoft Office. Students earn transferable college credit for their journalism coursework.
Palomar's Journalism Department prides itself in providing networking opportunities for its students. We routinely have guest speakers in our classes and host a Media Days each Spring that brings in top media from around the county to talk about journalism. These events not only show Palomar students what the pros are doing but provide networking opportunities that often lead to internships. If a student doesn't snag a job at those events, then Palomar Journalism professors help them find an internship through our impressive list of contacts. It is our belief that an internship is an integral part of the training in journalism. We also have an impressive alumni network that helps Palomar graduates find a job in journalism.
Palomar's journalism students are well positioned to take advantage of the shift to Web-based publishing. Industry officials have told us that they would rather hire one of our Journalism graduates — with their reporting, writing and multimedia skills — than a journalist who has 10-year experience but has never written a blog or uploaded a video. Although traditional media such as newspapers are shrinking, there will ALWAYS be a need for content on the Internet and there will ALWAYS be jobs for people who are able to produce high-quality content. Palomar College's Journalism department can teach you how to do just that. Palomar College can get you up to speed in this digital world.
For more information, contact Journalism Professor Erin Hiro at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (760) 744-1150 ext. 3762 Or stop by the new newsroom in Humanities 103.

Goldman Rejects Proposal That Firm Run for Elected Office
March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the investment bank nicknamed "Government Sachs" because of senior executives who have moved into public posts, won't be entering politics itself.
A shareholder proposal that the New York-based company run for office instead of funding political campaigns was discarded, according to a letter last month from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which agreed the firm can exclude the measure from its annual meeting.
Harrington Investments Inc. President John Harrington submitted the proposal last year, saying the $6.39 million in 2012 political contributions from the firm's employees risks doing more harm to its reputation. He said the bank should explore running for office, using a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that corporations have similar political rights to individuals.
"It would be less damaging to the integrity of our political system and our company, for our corporation to directly run for office as a person under federal or state law, than to continue in the current form of political participation," Harrington wrote in the proposal.
Goldman Sachs said in a letter to the SEC that it "currently has no involvement, never has had any involvement, and has no plans to become involved in the business of running for political office."
The bank also said that its political action committee is funded by voluntary employee contributions, not shareholder money. The Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling gave corporations the same rights as individuals to spend money independently to support candidates.
'Social Objectives'
Harrington Investments provides advisory services for investors "who want their investment portfolios to serve progressive environmental and social objectives while yielding positive long-term returns," according to its website. The firm expressed its support for Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Two former Goldman Sachs chiefs, Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin, served as U.S. Treasury secretaries after leaving the firm, and another, Jon Corzine, represented New Jersey in the U.S. Senate and as governor. Mark Carney, the incoming Bank of England head, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley are among company alumni now setting monetary policy.
Harrington said he will continue to search for ways to bring up the issue of corporate political involvement, as well as the balance of power between shareholders and companies' management teams and boards of directors.
"It's too bad we didn't get it on the ballot, it would have been a good discussion piece," Harrington said today in a phone interview. "You begin to see a pattern of how much influence corporations have on our political balance, and now it's so skewed that you figure, 'Why don't we have Goldman run for president and JPMorgan Chase run for vice president.' And that way, they can run the system for real."

Sometimes the youngest among us say it best. So it was on Monday at FedExForum, where Sherry Knights and her two sons stopped in at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Sports Legacy Symposium before taking in the game between the Grizzlies and the Chicago Bulls.
It's almost cruel. At a time when the Grizzlies are playing without their best player, power forward Zach Randolph, NBA legends George Gervin and Clyde Drexler are coming to FedExForum.
Drexler and Gervin are being honored on Monday, Jan. 16, for their contributions to civil rights as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.

The Dalai Lama toured the National Civil Rights Museum Wednesday and stood and prayed on the balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
But the Tibetan spiritual leader declined to compare himself to King or other advocates of non violence as he talked with reporters later in the museum.
"I investigate myself. My motivations should be honest, truthful," he said. "If I were to put my name with others who are famous, it is wrong."
The Dalai Lama was in Memphis to accept the NCRM's International Freedom Award before a crowd of 500 at The Peabody.
He spoke with an interpreter who didn't so much translate his words into English as provide the religious leader with the correct word in English for what he wanted to say.
His Memphis stop was part of an international tour with stops in the U.S. as well as a controversial visit to Taiwan at the end of August that angered the Chinese government.
The Buddhist holy figure fled Tibet at a young age 50 years ago following the Chinese's government's invasion of Tibet and an uprising crushed by the Chinese army. The Tibet government that was overthrown in the invasion exists as a government in exile in India and a growing community of 150,000 people with democratically elected officials. The Chinese government does not recognize the government in exile and portrayed the Dalai Lama's visit to Taiwan as an attempt to promote independence of the island nation which the Communist government also considers to be part of China. The Lama said his visit was not political but a visit to pray for victims of a recent typhoon.
In Memphis, he said totalitarian regimes are out of step.
"Totaliarian regimes themselves are always changing. The free world has a moral responsibility to remind them that totalitarian is not a practical way – is outdated," he said.
The spiritual leader has also criticized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that began during the administration of President George W. Bush.
"It is no secret, I love President Bush. He is very straight forward. But some of his policies I had great reservations about," the Dalai Lama said. "I told him friendly the U.S. motivation is good to spread democracy. But its methods are wrong."
The Dalai Lama said nothing about the fist bump he got Wednesday in Tom Lee Park from Memphis Mayor Pro Tempore Myron Lowery. No one asked during a press conference although the greeting made national news. But he displayed a sense of humor about other things. At one point, he told the crowd at The Peabody that he recently had surgery to remove his gall bladder. "It scientifically proved that I had no healing powers," he joked.
"We all have the same potential to create inner peace," he said after accepting the award from philanthropist and award sponsor J.R. "Pitt" Hyde and civil rights veteran Rev. Benjamin Hooks. The award comes with an honorarium from the Hyde Foundation. But he donated the money back to the museum.
He called for "more effort for the promotion of human compassion." And the Dalai Lama called for women to take a more active role citing the feminist movement.
"Women have more potential to alter the biological pattern," he said.

Shelby County Trustee Paul Mattila doesn't plan to make any changes in faces at the office he took over this week after winning appointment by the Shelby County Board of Commissioners.
Mattila secured the appointment during a busy day at the County Building that saw Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton Jr. react for the first time to proposed terms of development of The Pyramid by Bass Pro Shops.
Paul Mattila, a legislative assistant to the late Shelby County Trustee Bob Patterson, was appointed Monday to be the new Shelby County Trustee. In balloting by Shelby County Commissioners, Mattila beat Debra R. Gates, chief administrator under Patterson and interim Trustee since Patterson's death last month.

Historian David Cohn once said, "The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of The Peabody Hotel and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg."
Culturally speaking, that might be true. But geographically speaking, the Delta cuts a much wider swath, at least according to the Delta Regional Authority (DRA), whose footprint includes eight states and extends from Illinois to Louisiana with a section of Alabama thrown in for good measure.
When Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans in August 2005, it shed light on the chaos a major metropolitan area can experience during and after a natural disaster.
The citizens who don't perish could be left without utilities or food and water for days. And the buildings that don't crumble could be weakened from heavy damage.
Betty Williams enjoys dressmaking and gardening, walking her dog, reading, swimming and writing, according to her curriculum vitae at www.nobelprize.org.
She attended Catholic schools growing up - St. Teresa's Primary School and St. Dominic's Grammar School in Northern Ireland. Her father worked as a butcher and her mother was a housewife. Williams had two children with her first husband, Ralph: a son, Paul, and a daughter, Deborah. While she was raising her kids, she worked as a receptionist.
As an 8-year-old boy growing up in New York City, Bob Levey caught the newspaper bug early. He would ride the subway and devour the newspapers that had been left behind by commuters.
"I thought they were the most fascinating thing I had ever seen," Levey said.
After producers from Twentieth Century Fox chose the Memphis area as the location for 2005's Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning movie "Walk the Line," they pointedly told a state official, "Enjoy it - it's the last film we're doing in Tennessee without a strong package of incentives."

Melick previously was managing director of the health care finance team of Minneapolis, Minn.-based Piper Jaffray & Co. He began his career in health financing in 1991 at Detroit-based Comerica Bank.
Memphis-area private schools have been experiencing a period of rapid growth. St. Benedict at Auburndale High School, for example, completed a 184,000-square-foot campus last year in Cordova. That move followed the opening in recent years of Briarcrest Christian School's new campus just north of Collierville.

The Power by Frank M. Robinson reviewed by Victoria Strauss Bill Tanner is a professor of anthropology at an unnamed university in Chicago. He's part of a team working on Navy-financed studies in human endurance, focused on answering the question of what qualities make some people so much stronger, smarter, more efficient, and more likely to survive than others. Colleague John Olson, however, thinks the studies have a secret agenda -- there's a superman among them, in hiding, just waiting for the right opportunity to take over the world.

There is a distinct flavor of the Arabian Nights in most early twentieth century sword and sorcery, probably left over from the largely imaginary "travel" tales of the late 1600s and 1700s. The conflict in sword & sorcery tales is usually personal rather than ideological or political -- even when the enemies are two kingdoms. Most

What I learned after a 9000 mile tour on my Daytona
In rough order of importance:
1. Buy or make some sort of cruise control / throttle lock. This is not optional unless you are some sort of genetic freak. 2. Get a cramp-buster or equivalent for those times where it is impractical to use a cruise control / throttle lock. For example, the Blue Ridge Parkway. Almost 600 miles long and rarely a straight bit. 3. Do not embark on a long trip with a marginal chain. I had to cut my trip short because it is nigh on impossible to find anyone with all the stuff in stock to do a chain/sprocket job on a Daytona and when you do they want big money. Like $500... Side point... If you pull up to the gas station, spray chain lube on, and it boils instantly, your chain is too tight. 4. Mount some touring-oriented tires. I started out on a set of Pilot Powers that were already 6000 miles in. I had to replace the front once and rear twice on the road where I get no friend-hookups. 5. Rope plugs are not a viable solution. I had great luck with these things until I was 100 miles from nowhere in the Nevada desert, then they wouldn't last for ten minutes. 6. Bring tools to dismount, patch, and remount a tire if you are going to be out in the great wilds of nowhere for any length of time. This is not as much stuff as you think. Pair of 6" spoons, patch kit, and a small electric air pump will do it. I had CO2 but it doesn't work if some jackass at a random bike shop that you were forced to stop at takes pliers to your aluminum valve stem for no comprehensible reason and squashes it oval. My backup for the CO2 was a bicycle pump. It worked but boy does that get old fast when you have to do it three or 4 different times on the same flat on a three foot wide shoulder with 18 wheelers going by at 75mph. 7. Guard your phone with your life. Mine fell off the bike at night. I got it back but the battery took an odd bounce and was nowhere to be found. You don't realize how useful a smartphone is until you're 4000 miles from home and don't have it anymore. 8. Get some gold bond powder for your ass. Yeah, it's venturing dangerously into old-man territory but it will help you push through those long days when there's no scenery and you just have to get 800 miles of highway over with. 9. Always have somewhere to be, even if you really don't. Twice I had random people latch on to me and talk to me for, no shit, 6+ hours. Stuff like that will cost you a night's rest and throw your schedule off terribly. 10. Wear a CamelBak or some other sort of hydration pack. It's so nice not having to stop every time you want a drink. 11. Announce your trip on the forum before hand and line up crash-pads along the way. At 50mpg every $60 hotel day is worth about 700 miles in gasoline. |

Health authorities are investigating the intravenous fluid allegations at a government hospital, the BBC reported.
"The women died after severe hemorrhaging and we believe the most likely cause might be an infection after they were administered tainted IV fluids," a hospital administrator told the BBC.
"During lab tests, we found three batches of glucose, which were tainted. We have lodged a complaint with the police and strict action will be taken against the manufacturers."
The report said India has the world's highest maternal mortality rate, with critics saying most pregnancy-related deaths can be prevented with more care and better treatment.

Derby County boss Billy Davies is staying positive, despite the club's slow start to the campaign.
The Rams drew their season-opener at home to Portsmouth, but have failed to collect a point from their ensuing three league fixtures.
Davies acknowledges Derby are not quite ready to compete at Premier League level and is not surprised they are in the bottom four.
"I'm a winner. I'm passionate and I don't like getting beaten," he told the Guardian.
"But I'm a realist, too, so I'm not surprised by our start and I'm not downbeat.
"In the cold light of day I can sit back and realise that I'm not quite ready to compete against other clubs because there's too big a gulf.
"If anyone is surprised about us being in the bottom four, considering what's been spent and where we've come from, I would call them a fool."

How do the interactions of gender and love promote particular performances of gender; conceptions of individual and collective identity; formations of community; notions of the human; understandings of good and evil? These are just some of the questions that occupy this project. This conference welcomes research papers which seek to understand the interaction and interconnection between the concepts of love and gender; and whether, when, how and in what ways the two concepts conceive and construct each other. Papers, presentations, workshops and pre-formed panels are invited on issues related to any of the following themes: 1. Love as a Disciplinary Force: Productions of Gender * Love, Gender, Essentialism and Ontology 2. Norms, Normativity, Intimacy * Rituals and Rites 3. Gendered Yearnings * Personhood and Identity 4. Global Perspectives on Gender and Love * Transformations of Intimacy in a Global World 5. Representations of Gender and Love * Aesthetics and Intelligibility The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. Papers will also be considered on any related theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 25th March 2011. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 8th July 2011. Abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following information and in this order: a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d) title of abstract, e) body of abstract E-mails should be entitled: GL Abstract Submission. Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain from using footnotes and any special formatting, characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline). We acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply from us in a week you should assume we did not receive your proposal; it might be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an alternative electronic route or resend. Organising Chairs: Dikmen Yakalı Çamoğlu Dr Rob Fisher The conference is part of the 'At the Interface ' series of research projects run by ID.Net. It aims to bring together people from different areas and interests to share ideas and explore various discussions which are innovative and challenging.

Adhesives in FLEXcon's SA6000 Series are flexible and breathable, and their tackiness allows for product assembly to be done more easily and efficiently. Silicone adhesives take up to 72 hours to cure, but FLEXcon's SA6000 tackiness will hold the bond until the adhesive cures, facilitating automated assembly. The product's adhesive qualities keep it on the release liner through the production process, while also allowing for die cutting without an unintended peel-off of the liner that could disrupt production.
The SA6000 Series is offered as a transfer tape, a single-coated construction, and in a double-coated construction such as one that includes silicone adhesive on one side of a film or liner and an acrylic adhesive on the other.
