JUBA, South Sudan — The estimated 25,000 armed fighters whom the government said had been marching toward a state capital in what could have been a vicious military confrontation have mostly disbanded and returned home, a South Sudan government spokesman said Sunday.
Michael Makuei Lueth said that Nuer community leaders in Jonglei state met with the fighters — known as the "White Army" and loyal to rebel leader Riek Machar — over the past 48 hours and persuaded most to stand down. Only a "very few" refused to listen and are gathering, Lueth said. An exact number was not known, he said.
"They have listened to the reasoning, and they have accepted to go back," Lueth said. "Not all of them, of course. There are some who are resistant. It's not clear if they will advance. The number which is left is negligible, and they may not be able to proceed."
On Saturday, Lueth said more than 25,000 Lou Nuer youth were marching toward Bor, the provincial capital of Jonglei state, raising the specter of a deadly battle with South Sudan troops, as well as potential attacks on the United Nations base there.
Nuer youth in Akobo attacked a U.N. base earlier this month, killing three U.N. soldiers and about two dozen ethnic Dinkas.
South Sudan troops remain on "maximum alert" in case fighters try to attack.

12 August 2013 20:02 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US ethylene margins increased by 0.7% week on week for the week ended 9 August, the ICIS margin report showed on Monday.
US margins for ethane-based spot ethylene increased to 46.12 cents/lb ($1,017/tonne, €763/tonne) from 45.80 cents/lb the previous week.
The increase was mostly pushed by cheaper feedstock ethane costs, which fell to 10.78 cents/lb from 11.05 cents/lb.
Ethylene spot prices were also higher on average in an up-and-down week of trading, gaining 0.875 cents/lb on the high side and falling by 0.750 cents/lb on the low side.
Sources said the demand picture for ethylene remains unclear but that supply is strong and feedstock costs are falling.
Some market players said downstream consumers are building up inventories in an effort to retreat from the market and push prices down.
Ethane cracker co-product credits fell during the week, to 3.96 cents/lb from 3.97 cents/lb, slightly softening ethylene margins.
US ethylene for August was heard offered at 55.75 cents/lb against no fresh bids.

Vygor presents world's first "Racing Utility Vehicle"
December 10, 2012
Last fall, a new Italian sports car manufacturer made itself known.

That sheer awkwardness is officially headed toward production, and manufacturer Vygor is providing a sneak peek. Read More

Pet Insurance Testimonials
Share your pet's story! Tell us how we helped you and your pet and you could be featured on our website.
Benefits Over the Long Term
When Thompson, my Yorkshire Terrier, came into our family, he was 6 months old. After his first veterinary visit cost more than $500 for X-rays and lab tests, I realized he needed pet insurance so I enrolled him in Petshealth Care Plan.
Now, nearly 10 years later, I've received about three times my premium back in reimbursements. Petshealth Care Plan has truly been there for me and Thompson all these years.
I would tell everyone I know to insure their pets so they don't have to second guess medical decisions because of the cost. Petshealth makes it simple: Just complete a claim form and fax it with your receipts. I wouldn't be without it!
--Rebecca S., Roanoke, VA
Help When It Matters
I wanted to let you know how helpful having Petshealth Care Plan has been for me. I've had my Jack Russell Terrier, Suzy, insured with you for more than six years now, and I've used the insurance several times.
Whenever my dog is sick, it's incredibly stressful for me, probably because she can't tell me what hurts or how bad. I end up worrying a lot: How sick is she? Is she getting the best care? Am I making the right decisions? During these stressful times, to not have to also worry about the cost for her treatment is invaluable to me.
Whenever I've submitted a claim, everything from the processing to payment has gone really smoothly. I've told many people that of all the various insurances I have, my pet insurance is the one I find most useful! Thanks for providing such great service!
--Mary F., Wilkes Barre, PA
Extra Time Was Possible
My beloved German Shepherd, Zane, was by my side through a lot of ups and downs in my life. She was the highlight of my day. When she was diagnosed with a tumor, I didn't think I could afford the treatments, but that wouldn't stop me. I did what I had to do, and with the help of Petshealth Care Plan I was able to have an extra three months to share with my girl.
After Zane passed, I called Petshealth to cancel her coverage, and the representative was absolutely sympathetic and understanding. She knew my girl wasn't "just a dog." She totally understood my pain and grief.
I recommend Petshealth to everyone I know. The customer service, help and support I've gotten from you is awesome. I wish my other insurances would treat me half as great as you treat me and my other furry children!
Zane will always be a big part of my heart, but Petshealth made the whole situation a little less painful. Thank you!
--Gabby D., South Bend, IN

Why Zach Galifianakis Was Robbed of an Oscar Nom
Why is it so difficult for actors playing a comedic role to be recognized? Almost universally, actors agree that comedy is the harder genre to master than drama. If that's true, why doesn't the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences think so when they hand out their Oscar nominations every year? Basically, this is just our convoluted way of saying: Zach Galifianakis ... you were robbed! Our reasons why after the jump.
Look at the list of nominees this year. The closest thing to a comedy nomination is Meryl Streep's Best Actress nod for her performance of Julia Child in 'Julie & Julia,' though it's quite a stretch to call that a comedy. Wasn't the inclusion of an extra five films for Best Picture supposed to open the doors for other genres? Sure, it did open the door for weepy, "no one believed in me," football-themed dramas. What about comedy? What happened to the supposed revolution of comedy 32 years ago when 'Annie Hall' swept the Oscars? 'The Hangover' -- in no way are we comparing 'Annie Hall' and 'The Hangover' ... but we kinda are -- is one of the most successful comedies of all time and won a Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy. And it couldn't even sniff one of the 10 nominations? Fine, but Galifianakis carried this film. If Robert Downey Jr. could be nominated for a pretty overrated performance in 'Tropic Thunder,' this year Galifianakis should have been a shoo-in.
(Warning: Foul Language)
Historically, Oscar is not a friend to comedy. This was all supposed to change when Woody Allen and Diane Keaton won Oscars for 1977's 'Annie Hall.' 'Hall'-type comedies were green lit at a blistering pace. Of course, the next three Best Picture winners were the not quite as funny: 'The Deer Hunter,' 'Kramer Vs. Kramer' and 'Ordinary People.'
In the last 10 years, only three comedic acting roles were honored with an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor: Thomas Haden Church in 'Sideways' (not entirely a comedy), Alan Arkin, who won for 'Little Miss Sunshine,' and the aforementioned Downey in 'Tropic Thunder.' That's three out of 50 total nominations! And forget about Best Picture: Only 'Juno,' 'Little Miss Sunshine,' 'Sideways' and, for unintentional purposes only, 'Crash,' could be considered comedies.
Galifianakis can take solace in the curious case of Jim Carrey. He wasn't just nominated for two consecutive Golden Globe acting awards -- for 'The Truman Show' and 'Man on the Moon' -- he actually won in back-to-back years. Carey, however, is still waiting for his first Academy Award nomination.
So, we feel for you, Zach. You carried 'The Hangover' on your shoulders and made it the highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time. It's just apparent that, unfortunately, the Academy doesn't have much of a sense of humor. And, if it does, maybe it just doesn't appreciate the old taser to the face gag.

I can't believe "Away WE Go" didn't get nominated! What is this "Avatar" fuss all about, anyway?

The Hangover didn't have a chance. There's nothing politically correct or controversial about it. It was about four white guys. It's a miracle it even got released.
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy Mark
When they remake it in about 15yrs with 4 blk guys, that's when it will win an Academy Award.........Just sayin'
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy Kay
what is with the race thing? movies are movies and we all have the option of seeing them or NOT. I certainly hope people are not seeing movies based on race. that is stupid. there have been great movies involving all races and this criteria shouldn't be the reason one goes to watch.
- Friday 05 February
I disagree I'm black and this is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.

He was a wonder in this role, not just for the delivery of his lines, but also for how he stood and positioned his body when he wasn't speaking at all.
- Thursday 04 FebruaryBy Rob
If they're going to throw out all credibility by nominating Sandra Bullock then they should have nominated Zach Galifinakis too.
- Thursday 04 FebruaryBy Jordan
I agree! Zach made that movie! Every time he spoke or did something, I laughed my butt off! He is definitely a very talented man!
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy a manLow Ranked Vote downVote upReport this
Zach is an amazing stand-up, but I didn't see the movie so I can't say if he was any good or not. The few times where I have seen him act, he sucked. Buy one of his stand-up DVD's and you'll see what I mean. His stand-up act is great, but then he does these little side bits and tries to act. He's horrible. That's why I didn't bother going to see "The Hangover".
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy Me
I thought the Academy lost credibility a long time ago... does anyone even watch this show ?
- Thursday 04 FebruaryBy Jason
Maybe he received nomination votes, maybe he didn't. The fact remains there are 5 other men who had more votes than anyone else. They received the nominations. Quit the whining. A year or two down the road, most people don't remember this nonsense anyway.

I thought The Hangover was great, but I didn't think Galifinakis was as great as some people made him out to be.

What happened to paying your "dues" first
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy OSBORNE
Zach has been in the business for about 20 years--he's paid his dues-thank you very much. He's stuck in there and is only now receiving some notice of his huge talent. I have know Zach and his parents for a lot of years-he went to school with my kids. I know what he's gone through and he's a very hard working, talented man. Unless you know of what you speak--hold your tongue.
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy grey
Try 13 years when this film was released, Ozzie (and nothing really major). BFD. Maybe he came in 6th place...that's just how it goes. Hope the writer isn't losing any sleep over this MAJOR snub!!
- Friday 05 FebruaryBy JP
The Academy Awards should not be about "dues". It should be about what was the best of that year. This "dues" nonsense, along with giving the award to people because they should have gotten one years ago is bogus. Look at what came out that year, and judge it for that year. All other consideration invalidates the entire event.
- Thursday 04 FebruaryBy Gotu
Pointless article. Mr Ryan, you never even listed the reasons why Galifianakis was "robbed." Not saying he wasn't, but I dont see it in the article. Why in your opinion did he deserve a spot over the five nominated actors?
Although Zack is certainly the gem of the movie, the simple fact is it was a supporting role in an average movie. hilarious movie, but average. nothing original.

"Mewdifffff, Come on it wasn't my fault!"
"Yeh it's never your fault, is it Bri"
Huffed Meredith turning Her back on her boyfriend.
"We only have a fifteen minute brake before we have to rehearse our big scene together, Nick and Julia will kill us if we're fighting!"
"We're not fighting! We are having a disagreement!"
"Fine, can I make it up to you?"
"You could try" She said crossing her arms and turning back around to face him.
"Ok so this is way to overwhelming for a Tuesday! So just give me a minute to regain my confidence"
She tried to hold back a laugh but didn't manage to hide the smile playing across the room at his terrible accents.
"Meredith, you are Super-Mega-Foxy-Awsome-Hot, and i'd love you if you were the horse that ate my cousin!"
This time she did laugh, and she didn't stop for about five minutes. She leaned up and kissed him.
"Ok so that one was for being so cotton-pickin' cute this one is for good luck"
They kissed again, gentle and soft, a ghost whisper of what they were both longing for, lingering long after they were forced to brake apart.
"I found themmmmm! They were making out in the back ha- aghhhh" yelled Lauren.
Joe and Jaime came running through to a sight that would be considered very strange anywhere but a starkid rehearsal. Lauren was yelling, tied up in Merediths scarf, facing a wall and with a note taped to her forehead.
'Catch us if you can!'

Djougou is the largest city in north west Benin. It is an important market town. The commune covers an area of 3,966 square kilometres and as of 2002 had a population of 181,895 people.
General Information[edit]
The city of Djougou is the capital city of the department of the Donga, and is considered to be the commercial capital of the Atacora-Donga region, with Natitingou acting as the seat of government and the primary tourist city. Djougou has a population of over two hundred thousand. While Dendi is the primary language and ethnic group in Djougou, there are also a number of Fulani, Pull, Yoruba, Bariba, as well as transplanted Fon from the South. Like most of Benin, Djougou has a young and growing population. Large families and multiple wives are common—leading to a large number of young and school-aged children and pregnant women. There are many different neighborhoods throughout the city, but they are fairly amorphous. People are quicker to identify where they live not by the name of their neighborhood, but by which main road it lies on or by a nearby landmark or mosque.
The population of Djougou is predominantly Muslim, with each neighborhood boasting at least one mosque. Muslims in Djougou range from the very conservative to the fairly liberal. It is relatively common to see women completely veiled in black, including their faces. More often, however, Muslim women wear a headscarfe and a few wear no veil of any kind. This wardrobe decision is made by following family tradition until marriage, after which she follows the traditions of her husband's family. Conservative Muslim men refrain from alcohol, but most are not opposed to drinking. Nearly all Muslims abstain from eating pork and observe the calls to prayer. There is a considerable Catholic presence in Djougou as well with a large cathedral, a convent, seminary, and Catholic school system that runs through secondary school. Religion is important to the people of Djougou and it is common to be asked your religious affiliation when meeting someone new. This is done out of curiosity, not prejudice, and there appears to be a considerable amount of religious tolerance here. Christian and Muslim holidays are both celebrated.
Transportation and Communication[edit]
Djougou is a major hub of transportation and communication. It acts as a crossroads of trade and travel, and is easily asccessible during the entire year. There are four major roads that intersect to form the city's center—the roads to Cotonou, Parakou, Natitingou, and the Ouake/Togolese border. As a relatively wealthy city, there are members of the community who own private cars, including the other families in my concession. Many families in the community have at least one moto that they use as their primary means of transportation. In addition, Zemidjians are easy to find throughout the city. Cell phone communication is very consistent in Djougou, and all major carriers have service in the area pretty much all of the time. Internet communication is also available in the cyber cafes and in some office buildings, although the connection is not always reliable.
Water and Sanitation[edit]
People in Djougou obtain their water from several sources. Many homes and places of work have running tap water. Other concessions have a communal well from which people draw their water. There is a lake bordering Djougou on the southern side, but community members do not fetch water directly from it and access has been recently restricted after the drowning of child playing near the dam in 2009. While people here do not boil their drinking water, they agree that tap water is healthier than well water. The water supply is consistent, and few experience problems with access of some kind.
Concessions all have private latrines and some homes with running water also have toilets. Latrines are covered and almost always set an adequate distance from the school, restaurant, etc. for sanitation reasons. Most animals are well-maintained. Even if they are not confined, they are usually guarded by someone and kept within a certain area or distance. There is both natural and plastic trash in Djougou—both of which people usually dump by the side of the road or into large areas of tall grass. This trash is then burned with the grass during the Harmatton season. The city as a whole is fairly clean. The air quality is better than expected for the size of the city, and most public areas such as schools and restaurants are kept clean, especially in comparison to larger southern cities like Porto Novo. A trial program began in November 2010 for trash collection.
Food and Supplies[edit]
The grand marché in Djougou is held every 4 days, but the market area is open every day. Djougou is the largest market in the area. On a daily basis in the market one can find grains, salt, bread, sugar, fish, wagasi, eggs, tomatoes, onions, peppers, meat, lettuce, soy cheese, dried pasta, tomato paste, garlic, oil, cabbage, oranges, citrons, bananas, plaintains, and, seasonally, pineapples and avocadoes. In addition to the open market, there are also several boutiques where one can find more expensive items like jelly, butter, spices, cookies, coffee, powdered milk, Lipton tea, wine, and liquor. These boutiques also sell toiletry items such as toilet paper, facial tissues, soap, razors, and toothpaste. There is a super marché that recently opened where all of these items can be found in addition to tissue, cooking utensils, PEB mattress items, purses, fake flowers, perfume, and brassieres! People generally eat three meals a day—two of rice and beans (watchi) with wagasi or pate/akassa, and one of yam pilée. The first meal is eaten around 8 or 8:30 in the morning, the second around noon or 1pm, and the third as the sun sets around 8 or later, 9pm. When certain fruits, such as pineapples or avocadoes, are only available during certain seasons, there is no discernible 'hungry season' in Djougou where food is not as available. People report that, 'for the very poor, it is always the hungry season, for those with enough money, one can always find food.'
There are three CEGs in Djougou, two that have classes for all grade levels—6ieme through terminale, and one that has classes just through the first cycle—6ieme through 3ieme. There is also a Catholic primary and secondary school. In the CEGs, teachers report class sizes of 40 and 50. Students must pay for their uniforms and books in order to attend. In the first cycle classes, there is generally a balance of male and female students, but in the upper classes, 3ieme through terminale, there begins to be more male students than female. Several reasons are cited for children stopping school; including being needed to work at home, the need to send another child to school instead, and for girls, teenage pregnancy. For extracurricular activities, the CEGs have girls' clubs and Amour et Vie clubs to promote health, but they are voluntary and not directly related to school activities. Boys also stay after school to play football.
Young children mainly play in their concessions and in their neighborhoods. There is a major sports stadium in Djougou where football games, cultural events, and concerts are held. There are also several football fields throughout the city where boys gather on the weekends to play pick-up games. Children also play football at the CEGs. There is a Maison de Jeunesin the center of town, with a big screen TV that shows football games throughout the day. Small children who do not have the 150 francs stand outside and watch and cheer through the windows. This venue also hosts other events and presentations and there is a well ventilated and attended cyber caféwith relatively reliable internet connection for 400 francs. Most recreational activities are geared toward men and boys, with women expected to be helping out with household chores during their free time. Women spend a lot of their free time multi-tasking, making yam pile or selling a good at the marché while gossiping simultaneously or listening to music on their cell phones.
Health Facilities[edit]
Djougou has two major public health centers and one private hospital. Each of these facilities is run by at least one physician; the private hospital has at least two on duty at any given time. There are also several private facilities run by nurses and midwives which perform births and do maternal and child healthcare specifically. There is also a fixed HIV testing and counseling center on the campus of the regional health center that does testing and HIV counseling on Wednesdays. As the majority of health personnel are government employees, many health workers are in Djougou by contractual obligation for a number of years; and few see it as an ideal post. Many would prefer to work down south, specifically in Cotonou, and many have left family behind in the south and plan to return as soon as possible. This may contribute to issues of motivation and work ethic.
Both the public health centers and private hospital keep regular hours, and supplies are generally available when needed. Health workers cited that a major problem is getting people to come to the health center—once they are there adequate care can usually be provided. Transportation to the health centers is particularly challenging, particularly for members of smaller villages and communities surrounding the city whose health centers do not offer comprehensive care. Mosquito nets are available at the health centers for children under 5 and pregnant women, and can also be purchased at a subsidized price from the pharmacy and other local vendors. Condoms are also widely available. Health facilities are kept fairly clean—each has running water and latrines that are far removed from areas of patient care. Hazardous waste material is separated from regular trash and disposed of separately. Most patients at the health center are pregnant women and children under 5. Pregnant women come to the health center for prenatal consultations, births, or if they suspect they have malaria. Children under 5 are brought for pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. Health workers agree that malnutrition is a problem among many children in Djougou, but that mothers rarely identify this as the reason for bringing their children to the health center. The health centers are much busier during malaria season—patient loads can more than double during this time, and one can see men and young adults at the clinic as well. The health centers each have an ambulance to provide emergency transportation. This is usually done in the case of labor complications in women who choose to give birth at home or in a smaller birthing facility. However, use of the ambulance is rare—in most cases family members will transport even patients in crisis situations themselves.
There is a quiet presence of traditional healers in Djougou. These gueriseurs give out powders and prayers in their homes for headaches and other simple maladies and they do not have any formal training. Many of these healers do not speak French and charge a small fee. The people of Djougou are relatively well educated and are slightly embarrassed by visiting such healers, but for cultural reasons, traditional healers are persistent and cause little harm. For small issues, it is often easier, cheaper, and more familiar than going to the centre de santé and does not appear to cause any problems or restrict utilization of western medicine when time and money permit.

Formation of Inner and Outer Mongolia
The Manchu finally conquered Mongolia in two stages that led to its division into Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. In invading China, the Manchu employed the eastern Mongolian Khalkha, and by 1691 the Manchu officially occupied southern and eastern Mongolia, which became Inner Mongolia. Though the western Mongolian Oirat attempted to unite the Mongols under their leadership against the Manchu, the Khalkha joined the Manchu in a savage campaign that resulted in the conquest of Outer Mongolia in 1759 and in the near extermination of the Oirat. The Manchu victory ended Mongol tribal warfare. It also caused the dispersal of many tribes into neighbouring regions and the division of Mongolia into two political units.
Under Manchu rule there was stagnation. Chinese colonists controlled the trade and barter systems, cultivated the pastures of Inner Mongolia, and in Inner Mongolia outnumbered the Mongolian natives. Cultural differences developed between the two regions, with Inner Mongolia becoming more nearly Chinese in character and population.
By the 20th century there was widespread dissatisfaction in both Mongolias, compounded by Russian and Japanese intrigue in the region. After the 1911 Chinese Revolution, Outer Mongolia declared its independence, but the situation was unsettled until 1921, when a Mongol-Russian force captured Ulaanbaatar and formed the Mongolian People's Republic from Outer Mongolia. Efforts to unite Inner and Outer Mongolia failed, and Inner Mongolia remained a part of China while Outer Mongolia (now Mongolia) maintained its independence, though it was a client state of the Soviet Union until the early 1990s.
