Lessons on the life of Mr Narendra Modi may be added to the school curriculum in Madhya Pradesh as the BJP government in the State is considering such a proposal to "inspire" students.
"We have received suggestions from various quarters that a life sketch of Modiji be taught in schools, to inspire students from an early age," said School Education Minister Paras Jain on Sunday.
"If implemented, the lessons will be taught from Standard 3 to Standard 6… Like freedom fighters and other leaders of repute, the life of Modiji too would inspire young minds," " Mr. Jain said. During the election campaign, several comics on Mr. Modi's life were released in the country.

03 June 2011 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--The European phenol contract price for June has fallen by €55/tonne ($80/tonne) from May because of a similar decrease in the benzene contract price, market sources said on Friday.
June phenol settled on a pre-discounted basis at €1,378–1,418/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe), down €55/tonne from the May contract price.
"Due to the benzene decrease of €55/tonne, phenol has also come down by the same amount," said a major producer.
"Phenol is extremely tight and demand from all sectors is good. There is no spot available to offer," added the producer.
Buyers agreed that supply is short, and they reacted positively to the decrease.
"All our contracts are linked to benzene. It's good that phenol is down. The demand is softening a little, but phenol will sell easily at this price…the market is still tight," said a one buyer.
The May phenol contract had settled at an increase of €29/tonne at €1,433–1,473/tonne FD NWE.
The phenol contract price in Europe is 100% linked to that of the feedstock benzene, with the market's supply-demand dynamics having little influence over the contract price.
The major uses of phenol involve converting it into plastics or related materials. Condensation with acetone produces bisphenol A, a key building block for polycarbonates. Condensation with formaldehyde produces phenolic resins.
($1 = €0.69)

Unions helped boost productivity and wages during FDR's time -- shouldn't we learn that lesson?
Unions helped boost productivity and wages during FDR's time -- shouldn't we learn that lesson?
Late last week, President Obama accused Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker of unleashing "an assault on unions" in his drive to push through legislation that would strip away many of the collective bargaining rights currently held by public sector workers in that state. The President also said that while everyone will need to make some "adjustments" in the current fiscal climate, we should not forget the "enormous contributions" public employees make to our states and to our citizens.
The President is certainly correct when he says that the move by Governor Walker is an assault on the unions. But his hint that wage and benefit concessions (adjustments) might be necessary unfortunately plays into the hands of the deficit hawks who keep insisting that the only way for us to climb out of the Great Recession is through massive cuts to state and federal budgets.
As Robert Reich recently observed, nothing could be further from the truth. The real cause of these budget deficits is not excessive spending, but a dramatic fall in tax revenue perpetuated in part by the recession and in part by "tax giveaways to the rich."
Indeed, in our forty-year drive to provide a greater and greater share of our national income to those who need it the least -- the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans -- we have managed to expand their take of total national income from 9 percent to 20 percent. With more and more of the nation's wealth flowing to a smaller percentage of the population -- whose contributions to the national well-being has declined precipitously thanks to cuts in income, estate and other forms of taxation -- is it any wonder that the middle class has been severely hurt by this recession or that governments, thanks to declining wages and the loss of jobs among working Americans, are struggling to meet their obligations?
Under similar circumstances nearly 80 years ago, Franklin Roosevelt's response to the nation's worst economic crisis was not to strip away labor's right to bargain collectively or to slash government to the bone, but rather to use government and the legislative process to strengthen the ability of working Americans to secure fair wages and working conditions. As such, a key element of the New Deal was the passage of labor laws like the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, two monumental pieces of legislation that set up a permanent National Labor Relations Board, granted private sector workers the right to form unions and to bargain collectively, established a national minimum wage, and guaranteed "time and a half" for overtime in certain jobs. In this vastly improved climate, union membership increased dramatically, from less than 3 million in 1933 to more than 14 million in 1945. So too did wages. By 1937, in fact, real weekly earnings were 30 percent higher than they had been when FDR first took office and fifteen percent higher than they were in 1929.

Meanwhile, for those who had lost their jobs or were suffering in poverty in their old age, the Roosevelt Administration provided work building the nation's economic infrastructure through such federal programs as the Works Progress Administration (WPA). It also provided a measure of economic security through the passage of the Social Security Act with unemployment insurance and old age pensions. All of this required considerable spending on the part of government, spending that, much like today, ran into substantial opposition from fiscal conservatives and organizations like the American Liberty League, which accused the Roosevelt Administration of taking the country down the path of socialism. Hemmed in by this political opposition, and lacking experience in the new field of Keynesian economics, the Roosevelt Administration was not able to unleash the level of federal stimulus -- deficit spending -- that was needed to restore the economy until the security demands of World War II rendered the arguments of the deficit hawks irrelevant.
Led by a government committed to working with both management and labor to make the United States the most powerful nation on the planet, US wartime production exceeded all expectations and dwarfed our allies and enemies alike. Moreover, in the pro-labor climate of the time, union membership expanded at an ever more rapid pace. By 1945, it had reached a record 35 percent of the non-agricultural workforce, while over the same period wages increased by a healthy 65 percent.
Thanks to the willingness of the federal government to invest in the wartime economy (which included federal expenditures that reached a high point of 46.5 percent of total GDP in 1943), and to the wartime collaboration between the federal government, private enterprise and organized labor, the United States emerged from the war not only as the richest and most powerful nation on earth, but also the country poised to dominate the world's economy for generations to come. And all of this with a highly paid and highly unionized work force.
It is true that the labor legislation of the 1930s did not apply to public service employees, but it seems highly unlikely that once achieved FDR would support any effort, like the one currently underway in Wisconsin, to take away these rights. Indeed, when Franklin Roosevelt took office in midst of the despair of the Great Depression, he promised to "wage war" against the economic crisis. He also once remarked that "if ever I went to work in a factory, the first thing I'd do is join a union." Under his leadership, working Americans were not stripped of their rights, but were encouraged to organize for better wages, hours and working conditions. In doing so, they not only helped lift themselves out of the Great Depression, they also helped lift the nation out as a whole. Rather than follow the false promise of economic growth through ever more tax decreases for the rich, isn't it time we tried the opposite tack? Shouldn't we consider raising taxes on the wealthy and looking to expand the economy -- and state and federal revenue -- through increased wages and benefits for the millions of working Americans in Wisconsin and elsewhere who make up the backbone of this country?

Here, we report the first-ever detection of the fungus in adult bumble bees that were raised in captivity for studies on colony development. Wild queens of Bombus griseocollis, B. nevadensis and B. vosnesenskii were collected and maintained for establishment of nests. Queens that died during rearing or that did not lay eggs within one month of capture were dissected, and tissues were examined microscopically for the presence of pathogens. Filamentous fungi that were detected were plated on artificial media containing broad spectrum antibiotics for isolation and identification. Based on morphological characters, the fungus was identified as Ascosphaera apis (Maasen ex Claussen) Olive and Spiltoir, a species that has been reported earlier only from larvae of the European honey bee, Apis mellifera, the Asian honey bee, Apis cerana, and the carpenter bee Xylocopa californica arizonensis. The identity of the fungus was confirmed using molecular markers and phylogenetic analysis. Ascosphaera apis was detected in queens of all three bumble bee species examined. Of 150 queens dissected, 12 (8%) contained vegetative and reproductive stages of the fungus. Both fungal stages were also detected in two workers collected from colonies with Ascosphaera-infected B. nevadensis queens. In this study, wild bees could have been infected prior to capture for rearing, or, the A. apis infection could have originated via contaminated European honey bee pollen fed to the bumble bees in captivity. Thus, the discovery of A. apis in adult bumble bees in the current study has important implications for commercial production of bumble bee colonies and highlights potential risks to native bees via pathogen spillover from infected bees and infected pollen.

Previous research has shown that pyridine growth regulator herbicides can affect seed production in annual grasses including downy brome, Japanese brome, wheat, and other cereal grain crops. Aminocyclopyrachlor is a pyridine carboxylic acid growth regulator herbicide that has recently been registered for broadleaf weed and brush control in nonagricultural areas, which may help facilitate release of native perennial grasses in native plant restoration sites. The influence of aminocyclopyrachlor on downy brome seed production was evaluated at multiple application rates and timings under controlled field conditions. The effect of aminocyclopyrachlor on seed production was compared with aminopyralid, another pyridine growth regulator herbicide. When applied to downy brome plants in the early vegetative stage (EPOST) at approximately 580 growing degree days (GDD), aminocyclopyrachlor at 320 g ae ha⁻¹ reduced seed germination by 50 to 88% in the first and second study years, respectively. Aminopyralid reduced seed germination by 94% in the first study year, but only 20% in the second year. When applied to downy brome plants in the early heading stage at approximately 1,235 GDD (LPOST), aminocyclopyrachlor at 320 g ae ha⁻¹ reduced seed germination by 100% both years. Aminopyralid reduced seed germination by 95% in the first year, and 81% in the second year. Other than the observed reduction in seed germination, herbicides did not produce any visible changes in downy brome aboveground plant growth or development. Because downy brome seeds are relatively short-lived in soil, aminocyclopyrachlor and aminopyralid applications to downy brome–infested rangelands and other natural areas could result in reductions in downy brome population densities over time. No published data exist on the effect of aminocyclopyrachlor on seed production of desirable perennial grasses in natural ecosystems, thereby suggesting the need for further research.

We report malt quality QTLs relevant to breeding with greater precision than previous mapping studies. The distribution of favorable alleles suggests strategies for marker-assisted breeding and germplasm exchange. This study leverages the breeding data of 1,862 barley breeding lines evaluated in 97 field trials for genome-wide association study of malting quality traits in barley. The mapping panel consisted of six-row and two-row advanced breeding lines from eight breeding populations established at six public breeding programs across the United States. A total of 4,976 grain samples were subjected to micro-malting analysis and mapping of nine quality traits was conducted with 3,072 SNP markers distributed throughout the genome. Association mapping was performed for individual breeding populations and for combined six-row and two-row populations. Only 16 % of the QTL we report here had been detected in prior bi-parental mapping studies. Comparison of the analyses of the combined two-row and six-row panels identified only two QTL regions that were common to both. In total, 108 and 107 significant marker-trait associations were identified in all six-row and all two-row breeding programs, respectively. A total of 102 and 65 marker-trait associations were specific to individual six-row and two-row breeding programs, respectively indicating that most marker-trait associations were breeding population specific. Combining datasets from different breeding program resulted in both the loss of some QTL that were apparent in the analyses of individual programs and the discovery of new QTL not identified in individual programs. This suggests that simply increasing sample size by pooling samples with different breeding history does not necessarily increase the power to detect associations. The genetic architecture of malting quality and the distribution of favorable alleles suggest strategies for marker-assisted selection and germplasm exchange To the best of our knowledge, one or more authors of this paper were federal employees when contributing to this work.

Temperate forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, and are thought to currently be a sink for atmospheric CO₂. However, we lack understanding of the drivers of forest carbon accumulation and loss, hampering our ability to predict carbon cycle responses to global change. In this study, we used CO₂ flux and radiocarbon (¹⁴C) measurements to investigate the role of seasonal drivers on soil respiration. Radiocarbon measurements of CO₂ evolved during incubation of fine roots and root-free soils at the beginning and end of the growing season (April and August) showed that these two soil respiration sources (fine roots vis-a`-vis soils) have different mean residence times that stayed constant between seasons. Radiocarbon measurements show that root respiration was made up of carbon fixed 3–5 years prior to sampling, and that heterotrophic respiration was made up of carbon fixed 7–10 years prior. The difference in radiocarbon signature between the two sources allowed us to partition autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration sources for soil respiration measurements in the field. We observed a small but significant increase in Δ¹⁴C of soil respiration between April and August, suggesting an increase in heterotrophic respiration sources over the growing season. Using a two end-member mixing model, we estimate that 55 ± 22% of soil respiration originated from autotrophic (root) sources in April, but their contribution dropped to 38 ± 21% in August. These findings suggest that the contribution of root respiration increases at a time of high productivity and/or as a result of relatively low microbial respiration in the early spring in this old-growth coniferous forest.

Obama signs highway, student loan deal with phased retirement
Friday - 7/6/2012, 6:07pm EDT
By KEN THOMAS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama signed legislation Friday maintaining jobs on transportation projects and preventing interest rate increases on new loans to millions of college students, saying it would "make a real difference" for millions of Americans.
The bill spared changes to federal retirement benefits and allows retirement-eligible federal employees to opt for a partial retirement.
Obama, flanked by unemployed construction workers, college students and members of Congress at the White House, said he was hopeful that "this bipartisan spirit spills over into the next phase" on measures to boost the economy.
"There's no excuse for inaction when there are so many Americans still trying to get back on their feet," Obama said. He said the transportation and education measures "will make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans." Obama signed the bill following a two-day bus trip through parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Congress approved the legislation last week after Obama made the expiring student loan interest rates an issue for months, appealing to college students and young voters who are a key constituency for his re-election campaign. The legislation served as an election-year battle over which party is best equipped to help voters grapple with a sluggish economy, the top issue.
The bill allows more than $100 billion to be spent on highway, mass transit and other transportation programs during the next two years. The projects would have expired June 30. An extension of the mass transit tax benefit was not part of the bill, however.
It also keeps interest rates of 3.4 percent for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates. If Congress hadn't acted, the rate would have doubled beginning July 1 for an estimated 7.4 million students expected to get new loans this year, adding an extra $1,000 to the average cost of each loan.
In an email, White House senior adviser David Plouffe credited regular Americans for pressuring Congress to act. "You took to Twitter and Facebook. You sent emails and talked to your friends and neighbors. And in the end, your voices made all the difference," Plouffe wrote.
The bill included unrelated measures dealing with Asian carp, roll-your-own tobacco and federal timber aid. It consolidates federal transportation programs, giving states more flexibility in spending money from Washington. It also includes safety initiatives including requirements aimed at enhancing bus safety.

Obama's speech wasn't full of politics like some people thought. Instead it turned out to be pretty inspiring.
Anderson County High School students Chelsea Whittle and John Durr were among 21 students throughout the state who participate in the "Drive to Stay Alive" program, which ran from Sept. 13-16 at the KSP Training Academy in Frankfort.

The Anderson County volleyball team saw any chance at getting the top seed in the 28th District tournament go by the wayside, then absorbed a defeat from the defending regional champion in last week's action.
Tuesday, Shelby County clinched the No. 1 slot in the upcoming district tournament with a three-game win over the Lady Bearcats in Shelbyville. Anderson almost seemed to be two different teams as the Lady Bearcats rolled to a 25-16 win in the first game, then saw Shelby come back with 25-13 and 25-14 wins.
I have to admit, I did not watch the VMAs on MTV Sunday night. I was among the millions of Americans tuning in to Sunday Night Football on NBC.
However, more than I've heard about Brian Urlacher's season-ending wrist injury and Jay Cutler's four interceptions, I've been hearing about Kanye West's outburst in the middle of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during Sunday night's award show.
If you're a fan of pop music, country music or have a child under the age of 25, chances are you know who Taylor Swift is.
Fresh off a third place finish in the Little Caesars' Classic at Boyle County, the Anderson County girls' soccer team will find what it is made over the next week.

Describing Anderson County's 42-7 rout of Henry County on Friday night as impressive would be inadequate.
The Bearcats ruined the previously unbeaten Wildcats' homecoming with a dominating performance no one outside the Anderson locker room could have envisioned.
The Bearcats piled up 511 yards of offense and limited Henry to 188. The Bearcats put 42 points up on a team that had been giving up just six a game, good enough for second in the state.

Developing agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa involves tackling political problems as well as the scientific ones, says Sara Delaney.
Bold orange signs decorated the brightly lit rooms, each proclaiming 'New Directions for Smallholder Agriculture' and offering a taste of keywords to come: 'finance, migration, accessing markets, youth…', serving as an inspiring backdrop for the two day conference held at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), in Rome, on January 24-25.

Concerted and coordinated action can bring success in the field and enhance food security, says John Anderson.
We now believe rinderpest has been eradicated from the world. When finally confirmed in 2011, rinderpest eradication will be the only disease conquered after smallpox back in the 1970s.
Rinderpest was one of the most devastating virus diseases of livestock known to man. Closely related to measles in humans, rinderpest (from the German 'cattle plague') has probably been around since before the birth of Christ and devastated European powers in the 17th century.

More sustainable food production can be high yielding and will prepare us for an uncertain future, says Richard Jacobs.
As we hurtle towards a world of peak oil production and phosphate depletion it's easy to assume we have only technology, specifically genetic modification, to turn to in our efforts to ensure food security.
The numbers of people in the world who take seriously the notion that organic farming is part of the answer are certainly not in the majority.

A committed effort in every agricultural sector and discipline will reap real benefits for the continent, says Lindiwe Majele Sibanda.
Next week, over 200 farmers, policymakers, agricultural researchers, agrodealers and non-governmental organisations from across Africa and around the world will be gathering in Namibia for the annual FANRPAN Policy Dialogue to discuss the state of food security in sub-Saharan Africa and future priorities for continuing progress.

Let's understand, utilise and conserve the indigenous cattle breeds, says Oliver Hanotte.
Livestock is and has been intertwined with African societies for centuries. They provide nutrition, labour, transport and fulfil major socio-cultural roles. It is estimated that 70% of Africa's rural poor keep livestock and some 200M people rely on these animals for their livelihoods. Indigenous livestock are not only adapted to diverse African agro-ecological production systems – they are also unique and responsive genotypes shaped by the needs of African farmers.

When it comes to food and farming, Mother Nature does not always know best, says Ottoline Leyser.

No one says to their children, "Go into the woods and eat anything you can find. It is all natural, so it must be good for you." But for some reason when we walk into the supermarket 'natural' is a key selling point for all kinds of foods.
My favourite example is a sweetcorn you can buy that claims to be 'naturally sweet'. This is an absurd idea.
Continue reading What is 'natural' food?
Tracking plant pathogens is a vital part of agro-economic development, says Maurizio Vurro.
As with human and animal diseases, the emergence or re-emergence of plant diseases is often due to man's activities – a consequence of mass tourism, global trade, or changes to farming practises or the environment.
Continue reading Monitoring emerging crop diseases in developing countries
At the launch of the book Science and Innovation for Development on 19 January, co-author Sir Gordon Conway said: "It doesn't matter where the technology comes from, it matters that it is appropriate."
Too often international development researchers, policy makers and practitioners get caught up in the source of a technology, and use this as the metric for whether it will be successful.
Continue reading What is an appropriate technology?
The UK has imported food for well over a thousand years. During the industrial revolution, we lost self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs and have never regained it.
We have always been able to buy food from elsewhere and the global food market has become so efficient that the proportion of UK average income spent on food has fallen from 33% in 1957 to 15% in 2006. If food is cheap, reliable, safe and globally abundant, why should the UK worry about local production?
In my view, there are three main reasons why we should not assume that tomorrow will be the same as yesterday.
Continue reading Why should the UK grow food?
Produce more, impact less. This is the challenge that the NFU's farmer and grower members have set themselves. It's a big ask for farmers anywhere and at any time.
But as we prepare to enter the second decade of the 21st century, we are in what the Government Chief Scientist John Beddington famously called 'the perfect storm': farmers have to grow their crops and livestock in a way that achieves bigger yields and better quality. But we can't massively increase our use of fertiliser, pesticides, water, energy. Using these inputs certainly has an impact on the farm balance sheet but it also has an impact on soils, air, water courses and biodiversity.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Situated in the ancient white-washed & cobbled village of Mijas; 25 minutes drive from Malaga airport with Granda, Rhonda & Sevilla within easy reach.
The slow pace of village life provides a restful setting for your stay whilst being within easy reach of the lively coastal towns & fine beaches. If soaking up the sun by day & enjoying restaurants by night is your thing then Sierra Mar is the ideal property. Leave your car in the garage & take the 2 min walk to the village to sample the local restaurants. The apartment, one of 20, is newly built. It has marble floors, AC, heating, TV, DVD, iPod dock & CD along with quality furnishings and linens. The kitchen is fitted to a high standard. The Sitting room & dining area open onto the terrace with spectacular views to the coast & dining space for 6. The spacious Master bedroom has en-suite bathroom & shower with lots of hanging space and wonderful views. The roof top pool & sun terrace has its own toilet & changing area
Originally from Yorkshire, I have loved in London for the past 35 years. I first fell in love with Mijas during visits to my uncle who has lived in the area for over 30 years.
I first saw the apartment when it was a building site and loved the position and the fabulous views were really what sold it to me - I was the first person to move into the apartment when the block was opened in 2000.
I work in the hospitality business in London and hope to spend more time in the apartment when I finally retire in about 5 years time. Until then I enjoy renting out the apartment and get satisfaction from all the lovely comments from guests. I have made the apartment as comfortable as possible and hope that people use it as their home when they are staying.
Ian Kenworthy purchased this apartment in 2000
The village has a very special atmosphere, it's main population is Spanish people so it retains the character of a Spanish village, with a local food market and all the festivals that go along with Spanish life.
The property is wonderfully situated in a quiet corner of the village with exceptional views out to the sea and up to the mountains.
The amazing view which I never tire of.
Quite location
Covered secure parking.
Easy access to the fabulous historic cities in andelousia.
As has been said, the apartment is fantastic in a lovely spanish village. Loved sitting on the balcony at any time of day reading and watching the locals about their daily business eg. the horse handlers taking their horses up the hill in the morning and back down at night, listening to the music and feet stamping from the dance school. When walking to and from the centre of village you will pass the local women cleaning their doorstep and local men sitting on benches have a good old blether. The apartment is very quiet and we didn't hear any noise from other neightbours. Door to apartment was very stiff and we always worried that we were making too much noise as you had to close door with force but that is the only negative that we can think of. Would definately rent the apartment again if we were in the area again.
The apartment is simply beautiful with great standards and facilities. The views are wonderful and the village of Mijas one of the most charming in southern Spain. The owner Ian could not be more helpful, efficient and informative. The whole experience was effortless for us. We had one of the most relaxing short holidays in years. We will definitely be back and know exactly where we will be staying. Here! Thank you for making it all so special for us.
The apartment is in a lovely and quiet location on the edge of the village with far reaching views to the coast - but just a few minutes walk into the village square and all the amenities that Mijas has to offer.
The apartment is bright and clean and has a relaxed feel throughout with smart furnishings and artwork.
We particularly enjoyed walking around the botanical gardens at the top end of the village with fantastic views over the coast - both east and west.
In the evenings we either relaxed on the veranda with a glass of wine or walked up to the village where there is an excellent choice of restaurants or bars, our choice being the Mirlo Blanco in the Place de la Constitution which serves wonderful traditional Andalucian cuisine.
The apartment is an ideal place to relax and unwind and we will be going again next year. Thanks from all of us x
Property is in a great location with a 5-10 minutes uphill walk to the village squares and restaurants. The development has a relaxing rooftop deck and pool area. You need to leave this second floor apartment at ground level, walk up a short hill, unlock car par gates, walk through car park and climb more stairs to the roof level, so forgetting the sun cream can be frustrating!
The apartment is spacious, light and airy. The main bedroom is a good size and the smaller one was OK for our children. The balcony was a great outdoor space for breakfast and an evening glass of Rioja.
Communication with the owner was OK. I felt slightly nervous that I had to send email reminders for information about the apartment and to request the keys. It's been two months since we returned from the apartment and the one hundred pounds security deposit has not been returned, despite an email from the owner saying this would be sent on 4 September. Reminders to the owner remain unanswered!
We had planned to book this apartment again but the non-return of the deposit has caused us to think again.
About us: Party of two, stayed for a week. This was my first time returning to Mijas in 20 years. My partner had never been to Spain.
About the accommodations: The apartment is amazing. Large, extremely well equipped. Its located a minutes walk from the center of Mijas Pueblo. The terrace is very spacious and has a terrific view of Fuengirola, The Mediterranean Sea, and beyond. The price is a bargain for what is provided, and I should know, considering I'm an American whose dollar is worth about as much as a bucket of sand in Europe.
About Ian: Incredible. This was my first time using a vacation rental website, so I was very hesitant and nervous about the whole process and bombarded Ian with inquiry after inquiry in the months leading up to my stay. With each email, Ian responded quickly and handled every question and concern that I had with great patience.
I would highly recommend this rental property.
This apartment is exactly as described in the website. Location is very close to the centre of the village .Easy to park without the need to use the underground parking . Views of countryside and fuengirola are spectacular . I managed to see the funfair in Fuengirola from the apartment on one of the nights which propted a visit the following evening . Property is well maintained, excellent quality furnishings , spotlessly clean with all essentials needed . Good communication with the owner . We would definitely book again .
Mijas; 4 miles inland & 25 minutes drive from Malaga airport is know as 'White Mijas' because of the marble white colour of the Andelusian syle houses of the village. Situated at 1476 ft above sea level the village gives wonderful views to the sea. Golf, horse riding, bird watching and walking are amongst some of the most popular activities in the area. Once rested why not venture further afield & visit one of the wonderful cities and towns near by: Granada with its amazing Moorish Alhambra Palace: Malaga, the birth-place of Picasso and the site of the Picasso museum: Rhonda, high in the Serrania Rhonda mountains with its famous Roman bridge: Cordoba a world heritage site, home to the Alcazar built in 1328 and the Mosquita-Cathedral de Cordoba dating from the 8th century. Alternatively you might enjoy sipping "cocktails" in the harbour at Puerto Banus: the millionaire's playground of the area. If you are feeling more adventurous why not visit Gibralta or North Africa for the day

"Mother's Day" is eighteenth episode of the second broadcast season of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on May 14, 2000.
Every Mother's Day, robots made in Mom's Friendly Robot Company factories around the world give gifts, money and cards to the owner of the corporation, Mom. She, however--despite promoting the holiday extensively--actually hates the day, carelessly redirecting all gifts for some "hocus-pocus" philanthropic causes: a "cure" for cancer and "orphanage-grade" toilet paper.
Mom is in an even more bitter mood this year, remembering a romantic affair that had ended 70 years prior. Such doomed romance had been with a younger Professor Hubert Farnsworth, then an employee of Mom's Friendly Robot Company. When Mom insisted that the Professor's latest design, a children's toy named Q.T. (Cutie) McWhiskers, be changed to an eight-foot-tall death machine to be sold on the intergalactic arms market, the Professor, enraged, stormed out of the room, and they had not seen each other since.
In revenge, Mom attempts to become the "supreme overlord of Earth" for this Mother's Day ("This year everyone will hate it as much as I do"), ordering the entire robot population of the planet to rebel and overthrow humanity through a control that transmits to every robot's antenna.
Wishing to end the robot rebellion and save humanity, Mom's three sons, Walt, Larry, and Igner, cooperate with the Planet Express crew to obtain the robot control Mom keeps in her bra. Their plan is to bring Mom to her rustic cabin in the Bronx (though on the map provided it is actually in Queens), have the Professor seduce her (as this is thought to be the only way to make her happy again), remove her bra, and use the control to end the rebellion. They give the crew a valuable non-computer-drawn map to their destination. Because of the distance, and the complete dependence on hover technology, Fry designs and builds a wagon (with oval wheels) to carry the Professor but is then forced to pull it by himself to the cabin.
When the Professor and Mom do meet, however, their love is rekindled, and they erupt into sex. Amidst this, everyone else comes in to escape the robots, who have made their way to the Bronx, erupting into Mom's cabin. In order for their romantic evening not to be interrupted, Mom decides to finally call off the rebellion, but her bra is nowhere to be found. After searching, it is found to be hanging on a robotic fan which refuses to return it. Fortunately, Bender arrives and Mom asks him to recover her bra. While he initially refuses, when his greeting card states that in the post-rebellion "robot worker's paradise" there will be no liquor, Bender angrily tears up the card and fetches the bra from the fan.
Mom uses the remote control to stop the rebellion, but dumps the Professor after learning of their plot. Life is then returned to normal. In order for the Professor to remember Mom, he sends out his albino shouting gorillas to yell her name from the roof-tops.
Cultural references[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2011)
- The opening subtitle "Larva-Tested, Pupa-Approved" is reminiscent of the slogan for Kix cereal, "Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved!".
- The can of soup Fry tries to open says "Quantum Leek," which is a reference to the TV show titled Quantum Leap.
- The robot rebellion is a parody of communist revolution. This is particularly evident from the dialogs between Bender and the electronic greeting card in which common elements of the Marxist lexicon are uttered by the latter, notably comrade and bourgeoisie.
- The paper the cigarette dispenser-bot is burning is a punched card, recalling draft-card burning during Vietnam War protests.
- The garbage can throwing itself through the window of Sal's Pizzeria is a reference to the Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing.
- A later dialog between Bender & the Electronic Greeting Card brings up 'the boring peaceful kind of taking to the streets', and shouts 'in your face, Gandhi'. This is in reference to the non-violent independence movement initiated by Gandhi in India.
- When Walt is showing the map of the surrounding area, an area called "Cloakwood Forest" is visible. This is a reference to the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dragons.
- The flashback scene of Mom and Farnsworth riding a bicycle in happier times is a parody of a similar scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The scene also features a mock-up of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head", which was featured in the original movie scene.
- One of the robots waiting for Mom is a Betamax video recorder.
- Mom's fatsuit retracts and disappears from view in a manner similar to various science fiction robotic mechanisms, such as the headpieces of the Horus Guards in Stargate or Transformers.
- Mom's universal robot remote control features the options 'Serve Man (Regular)' and 'Serve Man (Ironic)', a reference to To Serve Man.
- When the Planet Express crew is huddled around a fire in the office building Mom's three sons enter attempting to recruit Professor Farnsworth's assistance in stopping Mom's robot revolt. Hermes yells "outsiders!" Professor Farnsworth yells "protect the fire!" This is a reference to the book "Lord of the Flies," after the boys have devolved into a violent hunting based society intently focused on preserving the fire. Hermes' statement that they can steal fire from Pottery Barn is a reference to the same plot point in the book.
Broadcast and reception[edit]
This episode was rated TV-14 for suggestive dialogue (D), sexual situations (S), offensive language (L), and violence (V) on Fox. On Cartoon Network, this was also rated TV-14, but only for suggestive dialogue (D), on Comedy Central, this episode is rated TV-14 with no sub-ratings and on WGN America this episode is rated TV-14, for suggestive dialogue (D), offensive language (L), and sexual situations (S).
In its initial airing, the episode received a Nielsen rating of 3.9/9, placing it 79th among primetime shows for the week of May 8-14, 2000. [1]

ANAHEIM – We meet in a Starbucks because he doesn't really have a home or apartment.
Steve Schumacher, who calls himself "The People Guy," lives in an Extended Stay America. Why not? The productivity consultant is on the road three weeks a month.
The People Guy is also a Busy Guy – so busy that at 4 p.m., he makes a crazy announcement:
"I haven't eaten all day."
Turns out a typical day for Steve is to rise at 5 a.m. Run seven miles. Skip breakfast. Work all morning. Skip lunch. Work all afternoon. Go home and finally (after all that) eat a sandwich. With a glass of milk.
He occasionally cheats and eats a few steamed veggies when businesses cater lunch at his workshops.
"I'd love a nice, warm Krispy Kreme doughnut just like the next guy," he says, "but the consequences of it..."
If Schumacher, 59, is anything, he's driven.
"If you really want to do something," he insists, "you've really got to stick with it. Make it a habit."
And boy does he know about habits. Because this eating-one-meal-a-day isn't even the most remarkable habit he has. There is something else.
He started on Jan. 28, 1980 – before CNN existed or Ronald Reagan was elected president. And he's never missed a day.
Not once.
"It's pretty weird," says the People Guy. "Isn't it?"
A bet started all this.
Schumacher had been running seriously for five years, ever since he lost 56 pounds in four months in the summer of 1975.
A colleague claimed that he could lift weights for more consecutive days than Schumacher could run.

So i really have no idea what is going on. The doc tested my progesterone and said I didn't ovulate. I was really freaked out because I thought maybe I hadn't been ovulating this whole time, but now I am starting to wonder if it is just this cycle. All of my other cycles since the miscarriage have been pretty regular, mostly 25 days. Last month was off by a day, 26 days with just some spotting on day 25 (I don't usually spot at all before hand). I haven't temped that long but everything was falling in line with OPKs, so I thought it all looked real good. Last cycles temps at the end were strange. And they have been strange this cycle. We took this month off so I got little lazy and didn't take my temp everyday and didn't use OPKs at all. I should have started yesterday, but still haven't stated. I did have similar spotting yesterday (day 25) to what I had last month on day 25. Is it just this cycle that I didn't ovulate? Is something else really strange going on? How long do I have to wait for AF to show? I don't know what to think anymore. I have a follow up with the doc Feb 1, but am wondering if I should try to move it up. I didn't even think that AF wouldn't show. I don't know how long I should give it before I do something. Anyone have experience with a cycle without ovulating?
So confused...
Comments (6)
hmmm... I'm sorry I have no advice here but Feb 1st is a long ways off if you have concerns. I would probably call and try to reschedule the appointment. I hope things move along so you can get back to TTC
Two sapphire angels 9/11 & 9/12
Shannon, my anvolatory cycle lasted 55 days. I say give it a few more days before you worry too much! Its these reasons that charting DOESNT stress me out much..I like knowing whats going on and tend to be stressed when its a guessing game all month..
speaking of guessing games..my cycle is a bit weird..this is day 32 on clomid! It was 28 days last month..still no AF, still no BFP and my temps are super high! huh, go figure!
Jen, did AF eventually show up on its own after 55 days or did yu have to take something to start it? I don't think I have the patience to go through a really long cycle. That's why part of me wants to call the doctor now and get drugs to get this thing moving along, but the other part of me would prefer that it just come naturally (as long as nature didn't take more than a week).
Also sorry that your cycle is longer thes time. Maybe you still have a BFP coming !
I actually got the prescritption for the progesterone to get it started and was told to wait till Monday but AF showed up on Monday so I didnt need to take it. Doc says I probably ovulted.. It took exactly 3 months to get my first AF after my angel
Good news! AF showed this evening! So I still didnt ovulate this past cylce, but I figure if AF shows, I might have a chance this cycle, and if not, Doc will start me on clomid. I feel a little better that there is not so much of the unknown! Sorry for the moment of craziness!
Glad that AF showed up... Now, you can be right on track to try again. I hope that you get a BFP this cycle and don't need any meds.

Perspectives from Zoe Tcholak-Antitch, Vice President and Head of Investor CDP
As the turmoil in the financial markets shows, a failure to identify risk in the short term can lead to substantially larger problems in the longer term. A meeting of leading climate change scientists in Copenhagen in early March 2009 concluded that many of the likely physical impacts of climate change had been understated in the IPCC Assessment Report of 2007. As we face widespread warnings of irreversible climate change, it is clear that the risks and opportunities that many corporations face from climate change have the potential to affect their financial condition and it is in every investor's interest to understand how; not least because it fulfills a fiduciary responsibility to pension fund holders to do so.
Climate change has emerged as an important theme for investors in recent years, evidenced by the growing numbers of shareholder resolutions related to climate change, the significant increase in renewable investment and the huge growth in the value of the carbon markets, now estimated at approximately €40 billion.
Following clear indications from the new US administration and other governments, we can expect to see a marked increase in climate change regulation globally. This will increase the materiality of climate change for investors and drive up costs for companies unable to manage their greenhouse gas inventories. A recent report released by CDP for example reveals how Electric Utilities have a long way to go to de-carbonize, making them vulnerable to rising costs from carbon taxes and cap and trade systems. As regulation expands globally, long term investors such as pension funds will be increasingly compelled to analyze the risks and opportunities from climate change in greater detail. In fact, in research conducted late last year by the Carbon Disclosure Project into how its climate change information is being used by global institutional investors such as pension funds, carbon risk and potential legislation or regulation were cited as primary motivating factors for using climate change data.
And it is not just regulation that is driving a greater move towards investment in low carbon solutions and increased awareness around carbon as an investment issue. Extreme weather events can affect oil operations; changing weather patterns can impact shipping routes; video conferencing companies can see a growth in business as a substitute for business travel; and the 21st century consumer is becoming more inclined to purchase low carbon products such as hybrid cars and low energy light bulbs which can affect company competitiveness and direction. These shifts in business activities, affected by climate change, can of course impact the value and profitability of a company.
According to the CDP research, three-quarters of respondents said they are already including climate change related issues into their investment decisions and asset allocations. Of these, more than 80% consider climate change to be important relative to other issues impacting their portfolio. That the materiality of climate change has been increasing over time and will continue to do so, as regulation increases, means the issue is commanding more attention from investors.
The CDP research highlighted the steps being taken by some committed investors. Some use corporate climate change policies as an indicator of a company's overall approach to risk management, others feed climate change related data such as strategic initiatives, energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions, into the assignment of a management quality score with respect to environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.
But it is not just about risk, there are also considerable opportunities that leading investors in this area are taking into account. The most often cited opportunity is that related to alternative or renewable sources of energy; but others include carbon trading, energy efficiency savings and investment in low carbon products.
CDP data was cited as being used by investors to help inform them on climate change issues for fuelling discussions with company management; this may take the form of comparing companies to assess how far ahead they are on the issue, or to leverage the number of investors backing CDP in order to encourage companies already reporting on climate change to improve their level of disclosure.
Moving forward, some investors are already including climate change data as part of their valuation models and the majority of investors surveyed are working to incorporate climate change data systematically into their financial analysis.
For long-term investors such as pension funds, understanding how changing regulation, disruption from the physical impacts of climate change, changing technologies and potential carbon costs could affect a business is fundamental to the assessment of long-term risk and return.
This is a new and evolving area. Doubtlessly, low carbon investment has a long way to go and investors are refining their approach. What is clear is that the leaders are forging ahead in integrating ESG data into their existing systems, models and processes and actively working to overcome any obstacles so they can make better use of climate change data. The laggards risk being left behind.

One is an underground rapper from Brooklyn; the other is a Washington, D.C. rep who just went major. Yet one thing rappers Skyzoo and Wale share in common, in addition to both being highly respected, is their ability to be Lyrically Inclined on whatever beat is thrown their way; a perfect example of such is their newest collaboration. While many rappers would rely on producer Illmind's intricate beat to compensate for average verses, on Lyrically Inclined it acts as a mere backdrop to Sky and Wale's clinic in rhyme. The end result: a strong collaboration sure to be enjoyed by indie and mainstream fans alike.

Gift, decor makers see local sales doubling
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Gift and holiday decor manufacturers expect revenue from local sales to double this year, which could offset the lack of growth in exports.
Nora Halili Lao, Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. trustee for the holiday decor and giftwares sector, said over the weekend that manufacturers were anticipating higher local demand in the run-up to the May elections.
Lao said the demand for corporate gifts such as bags, caps, mugs, umbrellas and shopping bags usually surges before elections.
"Poll-related spending will boost our sector. We target a good market," she said.
Lao said the booming property market could also contribute to growth for makers of decorative items.
Condominiums, for instance, need furnishing items like candles, hanging lampshades and chimes, she said.
Industry players are thus keen to participate in more trade shows to capture more local buyers, she said.
The expected increase in revenue from the local market can help make up for what could be flat growth in exports amid persistent weakness in overseas markets, exporters said.
Lao noted that the sector exported "only $72 million" worth of gift and holiday decor in 2012, and this is not expected to grow this year.
The United States and Europe account for about 80 percent of the sector's export sales. Other markets include Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia.
"There is a marked slowdown in US imports. US trade remains weak following last year's elections. This might carry over into 2013. Also, exports are expected to be flat because of Europe's problems," she said.
