Staff Reporter / 3 March 2013
Motorists can breathe easy with the introduction of 20 hybrid taxis by the Road and Transport Authority (RTA) this year in a bid to curb pollution.
The Toyota Camrys, operated by Dubai Taxi, will alternatively run on petrol and electricity. The RTA is the first to introduce this clean technology in the region after the pilot project was operational between 2008 and 2011, proving its green credentials.
Fuel efficiency in hybrid taxis improved by 33 per cent. — Supplied photo
Hybrid taxis clocked up 550,000 kilometres over the three years and there were no major maintenance issues. Fuel efficiency improved 33 per cent, and carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 33 per cent, as well.
"This move has been taken as per the directives of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to optimise the use of power in the UAE. There is a need to nurture a safe, clean, attractive and sustainable environment in Dubai," said Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Chairman and Executive Director.
"The RTA is keen on bringing about a paradigm shift in the infrastructure of mass transit systems,'' he said.
Several projects undertaken by the RTA have proven to be environment friendly. The Dubai Metro project meets high technological standards and runs on electricity. The RTA has also upgraded its fleet of buses to meet Euro 4-5 standards. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technologies have been introduced to reduce the carbon footprint: "The RTA also launched abras powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) instead of diesel, as part of its endeavour to improve the marine transit service between the two shores of the Dubai Creek," Al Tayer said
A Green Bus initiative has also been rolled out with Biodiesel B05 which contains 5 per cent recycled edible oil: "This small percentage is capable of cutting carbon emissions by as much as 78 per cent," the RTA chairman said.
More seats
More seats in buses, audio alerts by drivers about stops and a new bus station in crowded Baraha are among suggestions given by residents to the RTA officials recently, who said 400 real-time information monitors would be installed at all bus stops for the benefit of the public by September. Residents also sought hand sanitiser dispensers aboard buses, seating priority for women at the front and safety belts on seats for adults and children.
"All feasible suggestions fielded by customers are being routed to the respective officials," said Mohammed Obaid Al Mulla, RTA Board Member and Head of the Customers' Council.
RTA officials said 89 digital monitors have been mounted at different Metro stations and 46 monitors at bus stations. Forty-three monitors have been installed in air-conditioned bus shelters in addition to one monitor at The Dubai Mall.
A presentation by Director of Transportation Systems, Adel Shakiri, screened all services and projects like the inquiry services about bus timings, real-time passenger information display monitors, and the taxi booking and despatch centre.
Shakiri added that passengers can get the schedule of buses by sending an SMS to 5223 citing the area code."

Belle Boutique pinned down; new flea market to open
Once or twice a year, I get involved in a story where the facts just won't act right.
So it was with Belle Boutique, a new trendy women's clothing store. It's located at 223 Second St. I know that. I've been in the store and met owner Sequoya Rapier.
But when I mentioned the store in this space two weeks ago, I somehow mistakenly listed the address as 223 Third St. This was called to my attention last Monday, so I immediately wrote a correction for Tuesday's paper ... and listed it, once again, as 223 Third St.
(Where is a hard wall suitable for beating one's head against when you need it?)
So, with apologies to Ms. Rapier, let's establish that Belle Boutique is located at 223 Second St., across from the Ohio Valley Financial Group parking lot.
merchants mall to open in old W-M
Henderson's second merchants mall, TraderBakers Flea Market, is preparing to open in a portion of the former Walmart store in Audubon Village shopping center.
The indoor flea market will open to shoppers on June 1 and will operate seven days a week.
TraderBakers feature a combination of booths, shelves and locking glass cases that vendors — typically, private citizens with merchandise to sell — rent on a month-to-month basis.
The store has 135 or so 8-by-12-foot booths with pegboard walls, with room for more booths later. Each booth rents for $140 per month, with no contract; the various locking glass cases and shelf spaces range from $30 to $45 per month.
TraderBakers staff will manage the checkout counter, so vendors don't have to be on premises.
The company collects sales tax but charges no commission on vendors' sales, according to Marian Rogers, who manages the TraderBakers in Newburgh and is overseeing the opening of the Henderson store.
"It's everything," Rogers said of the new, used and antique merchandise expected to be on display. "At the Newburgh store, the rarest thing we had was an old outhouse; we have everything from an outhouse to the most fine china and glassware."
The handful of vendors who have started setting up so far at the Henderson store are displaying merchandise such as Elvis Presley records, Matchbox cars, framed art, furniture and antiques, lamps, tools, purses, jewelry, luggage, signs, primitives, door mats, dolls, knives, scented candles, clothing and household goods.
Since 1999, Louisville-based TraderBakers has grown into a chain of some two dozen locations, including stores in Evansville and Owensboro.
In this market, TraderBakers follows the Henderson Merchants Mall, which opened last November in the former Bargain Barn store in Old Orchard Shopping Center; a third has been planned in the former Homefolks Hardware and Gifts store downtown.
"I'll tell you what a lot of it is — our economy," which has consumers searching for bargains, Rogers said.
The vendors are a varied lot. "We get some, they're retired," she said. "They just want something to do.
"We have a few, (for which) this is their complete income," Rogers said. "Some, for health reasons, can't hold a regular job but can do this on a part-time basis," dropping by their booth once every week or two to restock merchandise.
Postscript: TraderBakers is the second business to occupy a portion of the 80,000-square-foot space that formerly housed Walmart. Office Depot carved out a nearly 21,000-square-foot portion on the west side of the building in 2008 while TraderBakers is moving into a large portion on the east side.
A Ruler Foods discount grocery store (part of The Kroger Co.) is expected to occupy the middle space later this year.
22 in a row
Retail sales were up year-over-year in April for the 22nd consecutive month, the National Retail Federation reported last week.
April retail sales (excluding automobile, gas stations and restaurants) decreased 0.1 percent from March but were up 2.8 percent from April 2011.
The trade group said unseasonably warm weather in March and an early Easter holiday accounted for stronger March sales.

Dave Winters (No. 11) puts the ball past RMS goaltender Mike Ryan during the master's division championship game shootout.
Derek Montague/The Labradorian
Chairperson of soccer tournament calls it "the most exciting" men's championship game ever.
Each year, something new and unexpected happens during the Labrador Cup. And this year's indoor soccer tournament, held from May 27 to June 1 in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, was an event for the record books.
In total, 31 teams participated throughout the week (14 female, 12 male and five in the masters category), the most in the 32-year history of the Lab Cup.
After more than five days of great soccer, the tournament was capped off by an intense men's final, which required three overtime periods, two of which were sudden death.
At one end of the arena was Chiasson's Dogs, mostly made up of players from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. At the other end was RMS Green, a squad from Labrador City.
Most of the RMS team played for Golder last year, which went on to win the 2013 Lab Cup.
RMS Green was also riding on high emotions during the tournament. The team was playing in memory of their friend Josh Hickey, who recently passed away in a tragic accident. Throughout the tournament they wore armbands baring Hickey's initials.
The team from Labrador City got off to a fast start against the Dogs. Less than five minutes in, Seamus Bartlett scored the first goal of the game and RMS looked to be in control.
But Chiasson's Dogs got better as the game wore on. Three minutes into the second period, Fadi Zelhof tied the game, and got the hometown crowd rising to their feet.
After the game was tied, one got the sense that the next goal would be enough to win the game. Both goaltenders, Glenn Freake of Chiasson's and Aaron Pinksen of RMS, kept making incredible saves and showed no signs of letting up.
After 40 fast-paced minutes, which left the crowd both cheering and gasping, the men's championship game was, fittingly, headed to overtime. The first 10 minutes were not sudden death, meaning the entire time would be played out, regardless of how many goals were scored.
Nobody was able to score during the first nine minutes and 50 seconds of overtime. But with less than 10 seconds remaining, an RMS Green forward put one last accurate strike on goal. The ball was heading towards the bottom right corner of the net, but Freake made an incredible diving punch save at the last moment, sending the game into sudden death, where the first team to score would win the Lab Cup.
During the awards ceremony, Lab Cup chairperson, Trevor Paine, called it "the most exciting" championship final he has ever witnessed during the 32-year history of the tournament. He also commended both teams for showing great sportsmanship and respect during the intense affair.
After one sudden death period failed to produce a winner, Seamus Bartlett of RMS Green headed a bouncing ball behind Glenn Freake to finish the game. Afterwards, the hero of the night was in ecstasy.
"It's a big relief. Playing in front of a great group of guys like this is amazing, absolutely amazing," said Bartlett.
"It's hard to find words to explain it, an overtime win like that is one for the history books."
RMS' star goaltender, Aaron Pinksen, was thrilled to win the Cup for a second straight year, especially since his team was playing in memory of Josh Hickey.
"We've had the same core of guys that have let us win back-to-back cups now. We are all great buddies and that makes soccer fun," said Pinksen.
"We also have one armband (with Hickey's initials) that our captain Josh O'Reilly put around the cup that will stay there until we lose the cup."
Physio North wins women's title
Meanwhile, although there would be no overtime, the women's championship game was also a dramatic affair.
Team Woodward, a team from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, had won the Lab Cup seven consecutive years. But their opponent from Labrador City, Physio North, was a newly assembled team of some of the best players in their region.
But early in the match, it looked as though Team Woodward would take the early lead. Less than two minutes in, during a scramble in the Physio North zone, a Woodward's forward had a wide open net, but kicked the ball wide.
That play would turn out to be huge because, just a few minutes later, Physio North's Brittany Rowe scored on a perfectly placed strike, to take a 1-0 lead.
Then, early in the second period, Lab Cup veteran Sarah Budgell was awarded a penalty kick. Budgell picked the top corner perfectly, giving Physio North a 2-0 lead.
At this point, the Labrador City squad could have had a bigger lead, but Team Woodward goalie Keira Eavis was sharp in goal.
As the clock began winding down, Team Woodward pushed harder for their first goal of the game. But terrific team defense from Physio North kept the shutout going.
With less than 40 seconds left, Jenny Boland scored one last goal for Physio North, who would go on to win the Lab Cup final 3-0, becoming the first team in eight years to win the Lab Cup other than Team Woodward.
After the game, Brittany Rowe, who scored the eventual game-winner, described how it feels to be a champion.
"It was amazing. That was my first goal of the tournament," she said.
"It feels fabulous. We came here to win it, and we finished."
For Sarah Budgell, who scored the team's second goal on a penalty kick, the win was a long time coming. She won the Lab Cup in 2004, which was also her first year competing in the tournament. It was a relief for her to finally win it again 10 years later.
"This is the best feeling; it's been a long time waiting to do this," said Budgell.
"We put a team together this year that we knew could do it. We had a few injuries but we didn't let it get us down. And we are so pumped right now."
Master's final requires shootout
The Master's division is, arguably, the most feisty and hard-fought division in the Lab Cup. Many of the players have played with and against each other for many years and rivalries have developed over that time.
The Master's final in 2014 came down between Chiasson's Masters and RMS Masters/Wabush. Not surprisingly, it would turn out to be a competitive, tight and exciting match.
RMS was the better team during the first period, but the terrific goaltending of Tony Elliot kept Chiasson's in the game.
In the second period, however, Larry Barry scored for Chiasson's on their first shot on net, giving the team from Happy Valley-Goose Bay a 1-0 lead.
With less than eight minutes left, however, Gary Winter tied the game, sending Labrador City fans into a frenzy.
With 1:56 remaining on the clock, RMS would get an opportunity on a powerplay when Chiasson's defender George Cabot, who plays a rough and tough style of game, took a two minute penalty.
Chiasson's would survive the penalty, and 10 minutes of overtime would solve nothing. So, this game was going into a soccer shootout.
Unlike in outdoor soccer, the shootout participants would run the ball in from center and have six seconds to take a shot on goal.
There was no telling which team had the upper hand in the shootout. Both goalies, Tony Elliot and Mike Ryan, had played superbly in net all game long.
Each team selected three shooters each, but only Dave Winters of Chiasson's ended up scoring. Tony Elliot, meanwhile, stopped all three RMS shooters, giving Chiasson's the Masters' championship.
"It was tough. They got a lot of good ball players," said Elliot after the shootout.
"I was just thinking 'don't score on me.'"
Dave Winters gave both goaltenders a lot of credit after the shootout goal.
"Both goalies made some great saves," said Winters.
"We played against that team for over 25 years and have a lot of respect for each other, but more importantly we still have fun playing."

She was studying her School of Ed classes and I was studying my science courses, or as she likes to remember, "my fish class." I finally had the nerve to ask her out and our first date was a Neil Diamond concert and dinner at the original Beans & Barley nearly 20 years ago to the day. At 21 years old, we had to have been the youngest fans in the

How fast or how slow does these lights render? Best general estimates please.
And are any of the lights by ForbiddenWhispers recommended?
Genesis is head & shoulders above "Genesis 2" (or better known as BF2/BM2) and is the FAR superior figure. Why? It doesn't suffer from the UN-necessary gender split
My DeviantArt Page.
The Supersuit product comes with a Basic Supersuit. DAZ has finally fixed it's UV's. Re-Download now to receive the update. Thanks DAZ!
I think I own almost all of ForbiddenWhispers light sets now - I especially love using them for fantasy renders. The rendering time varies depending which set you use and what is in your scene but overall render times are not horrendous (that I have found). Also, you can alter them so much that the versatility of each set is increased if you change the light's colour or add your own 'gels' (replace the existing jpg used to one of your own) - those and Dimension Theory's lights are my favourite sets to use( CloudNine: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/cloud-nine-for-daz-studio and Luminance: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/luminance-hdris-for-daz-studio - these do take longer to render but results are good) . As for the DIY Portrait lights specifically, they are quite versatile and rendering times will vary as previously mentioned, but nothing too awful that I have found (hair, casting shadows, takes way longer than a bald figure for example - varying the time by up to several hours). I hope that helps

Comments about Women's Plus Size Knee High Stockings - Pack Of 6:
With being plus sized woman, I have tried so many brands of knee hi nylons. Both with support and without. The major issue has been --comfort. Usually they either dig into my leg or slip down. And I've NEVER had a pair with light support that felt comfortabale The instant I put these on it was wonderful. Absolutely comfortable plus added benefit of helping with my leg pain because of the light support.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good stuff

I like the knee highs. They are very comfortable and do not put a strain on my legs. I would like to be able to purchase a six package that is all one color, preferably beige. I find the black not as useful to me.

These are a great knee highs for everyday and nice wear. Last a long time, very sturdy. I live in the south, though and don't wear the black ones often. Would like to see 6 pair of the beige and taupe colors without the black!

soya chunks curry recipe or meal maker curry recipe to accompany rice, biryani, chapathi, pulao
Soya chunks also called as meal maker or soya nuggets are used widely in the Indian food as they are considered healthy, protein rich, a good alternate to those who want to refrain from eating meat.I often make a simple soya chunks stir fry that goes great with rice or chapathi and some times soya chunks fried rice for a quick meal.
sharing a soya chunks curry or gravy recipe that can be had as a side dish for biryani, chapathi, pulao, kuska rice or even with plain rice. The color of your gravy will differ based on the kind of ingredients or masala used.
To prepare a north Indian style meal maker masala, use some kasuri methi and amchur powder at the last stage, skip the curry leaves and mustard from step 2. Either ways the curry tastes delicious.
how to make soya chunks curry recipe with step by step pictures
1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot, add soya chunks, let them sit till they turn soft. Do not leave them for unlimited time , some brands of chunks turn soggy . Squeeze off the excess water and rinse them in fresh water and squeeze again. Keep these aside in a bowl.
2.Add oil to a pan, add cumin and mustard, when they begin to splutter, add curry leaves, chili and onions. Fry till the onions turn golden.
3. while the onions fry, grind together tomatoes and coconut or magaz seeds to a smooth paste without adding water. set this aside.
4. Add ginger garlic paste, fry till the raw smell goes away.

Viable population of snow leopards still roam Afghanistan (pictures)Jeremy Hance
July 13, 2011
Snow leopard in the Wakhan Corridor caught on camera trap. Photo by: Wildlife Conservation Society.
"This is a wonderful discovery—it shows that there is real hope for snow leopards in Afghanistan," said Peter Zahler, WCS Deputy Director for Asia Programs in a press release. "Now our goal is to ensure that these magnificent animals have a secure future as a key part of Afghanistan's natural heritage."
Snow leopards in the Wakhan Corridor, which connects Afghanistan with China, are imperiled by poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal capture for the global pet trade. "For a species like the snow leopard, which occurs at low densities, and a country like Afghanistan where the rule of law is weak" such threats are 'significant', according to the researchers.

One of the major challenges in the region is widespread poverty and lack of services for communities.
"The Wakhan is one of the most remote and isolated mountain landscapes in the world and a place of immense beauty. [...] [The people in the area] are among the most disadvantaged in the world, having high child mortality rates, in places exceeding 50 percent by age five. Like many poor communities, the people of Wakhan are heavily dependent on their natural resources for survival," the researchers explain, adding that given these conditions WCS's work in the area "focuses heavily on the local communities, helping them to develop sustainable natural resource management plans and the capacity to implement the plans. In addition to saving threatened species in Wakhan, a major aim is livelihood improvement for the communities, in ways that harmonize with sustainable natural resource management."
Scientists say that tourism, in hand with conservation, could become a new lifeline for these communities.
"This is one of the few peaceful places in Afghanistan, its people never having engaged in any of the violence and strife elsewhere. Tourist numbers in Wakhan have been increasing rapidly since 2005 with the yearly total currently being between 200 and 250. This is providing a much needed cash stimulus to the local economy," the authors write, adding that the conservation of snow leopards should be integrated with tourism efforts.
Next up the WCS plans to begin marking snow leopards to estimate the total population size in Wakhan.
Listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List, global estimates of snow leopard range from 4,500 to 7,500 individuals. Like many of the world's top predators, the species is in decline. Researchers estimate its population has dropped 20 percent in less than two decades.
CITATION: Anthony Simms, Zalmai Moheb, Salahudin, Hussain Ali, Inayat Ali & Timothy Wood (2011): Saving threatened species in Afghanistan: snow leopards in the Wakhan Corridor, International Journal of Environmental Studies, 68:3, 299-312.

Conservationists oppose snow leopard hunt for 'science'
(03/23/2011) Conservationists have come out in opposition against a plan by the Mongolian government to issue four permits to kill snow leopards (Panthera uncia ) for 'scientific research'. The permits were awarded to foreign nationals last month. Snow leopards are listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List with their population declining. "If the planned hunting of snow leopards is allowed to go forward, Mongolia's creditability as a leader in conservation of [snow leopards] and other rare species will be severely tarnished," reads a letter from Tom McCarthy, Executive Director of Panthera's Snow Leopard Program and George Schaller, Vice President of Panthera, to Mongolia's Minister of Nature, Environment, and Tourism.
Treasure chest of wildlife camera trap photos made public
(02/27/2011) Photos taken by camera traps have not only allowed scientists to study little-seen, sometimes gravely endangered, species, they are also strangely mesmerizing, providing a momentary window—a snapshot in time—into the private lives of animals. These are candid shots of the wild with no human in sight. While many of the photos come back hazy or poor, some are truly beautiful: competing with the best of the world's wildlife photographers. Now the Smithsonian is releasing 202,000 camera trap photos to the public, covering seven projects in four continents. Taken in some of the world's most remote and untouched regions the automated cameras have captured such favorites as jaguars, pandas, and snow leopards, while also documenting little-known and rare species like South America's short-eared dog, China's golden snub-nosed monkey, and Southeast Asia's marbled cat.
Could camera traps save wildlife worldwide?
(08/31/2010) It's safe to say that the humble camera trap has revolutionized wildlife conservation. This simple contraption—an automated digital camera that takes a flash photo whenever an animal triggers an infrared sensor—has allowed scientists to collect photographic evidence of rarely seen, and often globally endangered species, with little expense and relative ease—at least compared to tromping through tropical forests and swamps looking for endangered rhino scat . Now researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) are taking the utility of the camera trap one step further: a study in Animal Conservation uses a novel methodology, entitled the Wildlife Picture Index (WPI), to analyze population trends of 26 species in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. While the study found a bleak decline in species, it shows the potential of camera traps for moving conservation forward since it marks the first time researchers have used camera traps to analyze long-term population trends of multiple species.

EconoMeter: Will workers get raises next year?
Some industries look better than others, especially computer programmers
Q: Besides CEOs, can rank and file workers expect a raise in the next 12 months and, if so, in what sectors?
Panel's answer: Yes 7 , No 1
Marney Cox, San Diego Association of Governments
Answer: YES
In states hit hardest by the Great Recession, the two weakest sectors are construction and state and local government, while the strongest sectors are educational services, health care and professional business services. However, because most raises are determined by the performance of each individual (not collectively), the most important determinants are critical workforce skills and educational attainment. For example, a bachelor's degree or more is required for 43 percent of jobs, while 32 percent of adults ages 25 and older have attained that education level. Also, the unemployment rate for those with a bachelor's degree or higher is 4.1 percent, less than half the national average rate of 8.3 percent.
Besides CEOs, can rank and file workers expect a raise in the next twelve months and, if so, in what sectors?
Yes 40% (6)
No 60% (9)
15 total votes.
Kelly Cunningham, National University Systems
Answer: YES
Certain professions ensure raises. San Diego wages, adjusted for cost of living increases, have fallen on average the past two years despite relatively low inflation. According to state occupational data, "protective services" (police, fire, security guards) had the highest percentage wage gains locally, followed by life sciences, computer and mathematics, healthcare, management and business/finance occupations. On the other hand, education, personal care services, installation/maintenance, and arts and entertainment professions indicate the largest decreases in average wage. The data clearly shows skilled professions requiring specialized training and education are higher paying, in greater demand, and should anticipate further wage gains.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
I think the employment situation will improve in the next 12 months, both in terms of job growth and the unemployment rate. That should help firm up wages in some sectors of the economy. The sectors with the best wage prospects are the usual suspects, areas such as health care, computer programming, and research and development. I think a surprising area of strength will be in construction, as there seems to be a rebound in housing prices and in construction activity. On the downside, wages in low skill sectors will be flat as the unemployment rate will still be high, although lower than now.
James Hamilton, University of California San Diego
Over the last 12 months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that earnings for an average U.S. worker in the private sector are up 39 cents per hour compared to July 2011. That's barely enough to keep ahead of inflation, but at least it's better than no increase at all. I expect the labor market for the year ahead to be similar to last year, so we might anticipate more of the same-- very modest raises that barely keep ahead of inflation. Areas that could see bigger gains include workers in the energy sector and in health services.
Gary London, The London Group Realty Advisors
In general, better educated persons — think college educated - mostly can expect to receive pay raises, lesser educated less so. Those sectors most promising are in the engineering/bio-med/high tech sectors. But Government budgets continue to shrink, so government workers will continue to actually experience pay reductions. This will include teachers, police, fire and most bureaucrats. I expect that construction will pick up, resulting in demand and pay increases for skilled workers.

Think for a moment about Choosing.
Then go through these statements and check if you agree with them:
1 – You have to make your own choices
2 – More options lead to better choices
3 – Never say no to choice
If you have agreed with the three of them, most likely you enview Choosing as the americans do:
The story of limitless choice is associated with freedom and success for ourselves. Limitless choice is a right that we have as individuals, and a way to express ourselves.
Whichever the response you have given, I encourage you to watch this lecture from Sheena Iyengar, where she deepens about The Art of Choosing:
Lecture SHEEMA IYENGAR
As you can see, perspectives around choosing change dramatically depending on our culture, our traditions, our ability to spot differences and the willingness to face floods of alternatives and potential confusion.
We need to take a different approach around this matter and acknowledge + consider different perspectives, in order to fully grasp the real value of Choosing. In Ms Iyengar´s own words: "… No matter where we are, we have a responsibility to learn the more options that exist, to open ourselves to a wider view array of what choice can do and represent… We will realize the full potential of Choice…".

The Crown Agents Foundation is a non-profit making body that owns all the shares of Crown Agents Ltd. It has two roles: it ensures Crown Agents remains committed to international development and it manages the funds that Crown Agents contributes to development activities.
The Foundation's members are organisations active in the development sector, including NGOs, international companies, professional bodies and public sector organisations. There are 11 permanent members and 18 elected members. Members meet formally once a year at the Foundation's AGM. The president of the Foundation is HRH the Duke of Gloucester, KG, GCVO.
One of the Foundation's roles is to oversee the activities and ethos of Crown Agents. This governance role is undertaken by the Foundation Council; a group of 12 individuals that meet every six months to review the work of Crown Agents and ensure it is focussed on making a lasting contribution to countries' social and economic development.
Crown Agents allocates a share of its profits to development activities and the Foundation Council decide on how these funds are used. Funds are currently allocated to training managers from developing countries and to knowledge sharing seminars that contribute to debate and thinking on developmental issues. Since its formation when Crown Agents was privatised in 1997, the Foundation has sponsored 350 students on training courses and run 27 seminars. In the last 5 years Crown Agents has contributed £1.7m to the Foundation's activities.
Seminar – the road to Bali WTO negotiations
The Crown Agents Foundation partnered with the Saana Institute to host a seminar on the specific needs of least developed countries from the forthcoming WTO negotiations on trade facilitation. Forty participants from Geneva, development agencies, the private sector and academia discussed developing country concerns and objectives, roles of development partners and the needs of private sector exporters and importers. The conclusions can be downloaded here. Workshops on regional integration
The Commonwealth Secretariat and The Crown Agents Foundation hosted a number of events in association with African regional economic communities (EAC, SADC and ECOWAS). Each workshop has identified and consolidated best practices in moving towards a thriving regional economic community. The workshops have also considered the impact of a flourishing community on food security and the competitiveness of regional and extra-Africa trade.
Getting it right from the start: extractive revenues workshop
How can West Africa's governments maximise revenues from the extractive industry to help alleviate poverty and low living standards? That was the question discussed by 40 participants from government agencies, international organisations (the World Bank, International Tax Dialogue, GIZ, AusAID, UNDP and the Revenue Development Foundation) and companies at a workshop hosted by The Crown Agents Foundation in Monrovia. Symposium – practical solutions to the regional market linkages challenges
The Crown Agents Foundation hosted an agriculture market linkages symposium in Harare, Zimbabwe. Stakeholders within the agriculture and supply chain sectors including government officials, donors, NGOs, the financial sector, academics, suppliers and manufacturers attended. Zimbabwe's current situation, government policies and economic blueprint for 2013-2018 (Zimbabwe's move from being a net importer to a net exporter) were among the focal points of the symposium. The importance of the mechanisms between the inputs suppliers, their shareholders and the farmers was raised and a huge amount of knowledge was shared. Practical solutions to the challenges identified were already beginning to emerge.

Sue Teller, The Original Crafty Hipster
This hilarious low-budget, cable-access craft show starring Sue Teller came out in 2007, supposedly a sly social media campaign by Mountain Dew. She shows you how to emblazon a cat and an anarchy symbol on your ironic orthopedic shoes.
The "Do Your Own Adventure" series with Sue Teller was posted by Youtube User mmand86's channel. MMand86 claimed to have edited the arts and craft program while working at Charter Comm in 2007, though it's speculated this was a tongue-in-cheek spoof by Mountain Dew.
This video shares Sue woodburning a pair of kicks (the SAS kind your grandma wears), coining her own catchphrases, and taking a random viewer call. All done, mind you, while sipping on a straw from her Mountain Dew.
Here are some highlights….
2. Sue hammers on some boring, fuddy duddy arts and crafts projects.
That baby doll tissue box holder and macaroni birdhouse didn't stand a chance!
3. Gives dope tips on using a woodburning tool.
"The woodburning tool can stay hot for a while, so make sure not to burn yourself! I don't need another lawsuit."
4. A silly sock puppet makes a brief appearance.
Sue doesn't seem to notice.
5. Here are the completed kicks:
A kitty cat with a ball of yarn on one side and an anarchy symbol on the other. A special shout out goes to the stuntwoman featured in the end credits.
6. Peace Out!
World's coolest crafty granny, don't you agree? Sue supposedly died in 2008 according to a Sue Teller R.I.P. video, but thanks to the internet, her crafty legend lives on!

A shore or shoreline is the fringe of land at the edge of a large body of water, such as an ocean, sea, or lake.
Shores are influenced by the topography of the surrounding landscape, as well as by water induced erosion, such as waves. The geological composition of rock and soil dictates the type of shore which is created. Although a beach is a synonym for a shore, the term typically refers to shores which are sandy or pebbly, which can be produced by erosion of sedimentary soils.
A strict definition is the strip of land along a water body that is alternately exposed and covered by waves and tides. Shores may also include a strip of land by a body of water, such as a lake.

I know a lot of you are wondering what's so special about Disney's newest cruise ship, the Fantasy -- what's new about it, and what makes it different from its sister ship, the Disney Dream? Deb Koma and I are blogging about those differences as we try to recap our experiences from our three-night media preview cruise on the Fantasy.
To accommodate passengers on the 7 Night Cruise, the Disney Fantasy offers an expanded live entertainment line-up in the magnificant Walt Disney Theatre.
The Walt Disney Theater seats 1,340 people with seating in both the orchestra and balcony. While the theatre reflects the luxurious show places of old, the technology used is one of the most advanced anywhere!
The lineup of musicals presented at the Disney Fantasy Walt Disney Theatre includes "Disney
Wishes," "Disney's Aladdin â€" A Musical Spectacular," "Disney's Believe," "A Fantasy Come
True" and "An Unforgettable Journey."
Our preview cruise was only 3 nights so we did not see all the shows. Check back after the Maiden Voyage when Laura Gilbreath and myself can provide more comments.
Disney's Believe
Disney's Believe debuted last year when the Disney Dream came online. In this charming father-daughter story, workaholic Dr. Greenaway learns about the power of belief with the help of some magical Disney characters.
The 50-minute show includes original musical compositions as well as classic Disney music from movies like Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and Pocahontas. Impressively staged production numbers combine music and choreography with magical special effects. I was told changes have been made to the show for the Fantasy.
Here's a behind the scenes look at Believe prior to its debut on the Disney Dream.
"Disney Wishes"
Disney Wishes is brand new for the Disney Fantasy written by Kristen Childs who also wrote Believe.
This 45-minute musical journey is about three best friends who discover the secret to being a grown-up is staying connected to their inner child.
The story begins as long-time best friends Kayla and Nicole along with Nicole's twin brother
Brandon visit Disneyland to celebrate their high school graduation. Each is unsure of what the
future holds for them, so they make a wish to go on the "Ride of Our Lives" â€" the show's original
opening number.
Their wish evokes an enchanted world where a cavalcade of Disney characters â€" including
Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Lilo, Stitch, Mulan, Hercules, Pinocchio, Timon and Pumbaa â€"
materialize to guide the teens through their magical journey.
The thing I love most about Wishes is that it brings to light Disney characters and songs you either have not seen in quite a while or in a new "updated" fashion.
For me, the best part of the show is the song from Pinocchio entitled, "I've Got No Strings". Some might argue the best song is the Hawaiian Roller Coaster song with Lilo and Stitch, which also is performed masterfully.
I smiled watching King Louie and the Monkeys perform a high-energy swing band version of "I Wanna Be Like You" from the Jungle Book. When is the last time your saw King Louie in a show?! (Jungle Book which debuted when Animal Kingdom opened perhaps?)
The beginning of the show is a tad slow as the characters are introduced. I also feel a serious tweek is needed to the Lion King and Hercules segments. That said, I would definitely see the show if you haven't before!
The show concludes with "Breakthrough" from the Disney Channel movie Lemonade Mouth!
Here's a behind the scenes look at the development of Wishes
"Disney's Aladdin â€" A Musical Spectacular"
The brand new Aladdin show is based on the Aladdin show which premiered January 2003 in the Hyperion Theatre in Disney California Adventure. During this Broadway-style production, guests laugh along with the wisecracking Genie and the characters from the classic animated Disney film "Aladdin."
This is the Do-Not-Miss block buster show on the Disney Fantasy!
Once again, Aladdin is the "street rat" of Agrabah meeting a Genie who grants him three wishes, battling the evil Jafar, and falling in love with Princess Jasmine.
Don't miss the Magic Carpet scene when technology and state-of-the-art projections send Jasmine and Aladdin to "A Whole New World".
The final two stage productions are new for the Disney Fantasy. I hope to see them in the future.
"A Fantasy Come True" Welcome Show - is a 45-minute, high-energy, multimedia musical production that follows one family's journey as they discover the amazing experiences and enchanting surprises that await them aboard the Disney Fantasy. Ultimately, they learn the greatest experience the ship has to offer is the opportunity to make memories â€" together as a family â€" that will last a lifetime.
"An Unforgettable Journey" Farewell Show is a good-bye hug in the form of a 45-minute musical production that allows guests to reflect and savor the experience they have had onboard the Disney Fantasy. This farewell show connects the guests' experiences to the man who started it all â€" Walt Disney â€" through audio and video clips that steep the memorable moments and distinctly Disney touches in Walt's words and wisdom.
Let me know what you think of the new shows on the Disney Fantasy!

Everything was great at the hotel. I just wish the business equipment was business friendly and working. Such as a Fax machine, working printer and maybe two computer's available in the lobby.

Front desk Customer service is great at this Candlewood suites hotel. I stay with this group all the time in various places around the US. By Mistake a wrong charge was made to my Credit Card. When I called the Front desk, they reviewed it and make the corrections immediately. It was not only the promptness with which this was handled, but the professionalism displayed by the Front Desk Customer Service person that took me by surprise. the was pleasant in her dealings, professional in her approach and quick to accept the mistake and action the correction.
I have enjoyed my stay at this resort. since I stay for long periods at a time, I do appreciate the homely feeling you get at this Hotel and the friendly smiles and greets that you get from the staff here, Customer Service, Housekeeping, and drivers.
Would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Houston - closer to the airport

Business trip

I was very unhappy with my latest visit to this property. I requested a smoking room (I know it is not guaranteed), however, upon checking in early in the check in time period and was told they did not have one and had know since the morning. I would just appreciate a phone call. I have stayed here for 6 weeks plus at a time for the last 3 years. All it would have taken was a phone call. Usually the staff is on top of things, but then again I did not see any of the staff from a year ago so maybe they had a staff change.

DESTIN — Residents can get a look at the state's long-range plans to widen U.S. Highway 98 at a meeting Thursday at Village Baptist Church.
"I know there are some folks in Destin who want to know about this project," Destin City Councilman Jim Wood said. "This will give you a good chance to see what this is going to look like."
The bulk of the project would widen U.S. 98 to six lanes from Airport Road east to the Walton County line, excluding the stretch from Matthew Boulevard to Kel Wen Circle.
Improvements will be made to seven signalized intersections, including a new traffic light at Indian Bayou Trail. Plans also call for 4-foot-wide bicycle lanes, ADA-compliant sidewalks and handrails, and landscaping to medians.
The project is expected to allow for more capacity on the highway while addressing bicycle and pedestrian traffic, according to a news release from the Florida Department of Transportation.
Thursday's meeting is scheduled for 5 to 6 p.m. There will be no formal presentation, but maps, drawings and other information will be available. DOT representatives also will be on hand to answer questions.
No money has been set aside for the work yet.
Wood, who is chairman of the Okaloosa-Walton Transportation Planning Organization, said the project is at least 10 years from breaking ground.
"This is still a good ways out, but we're in the planning phase, which is where you make your changes."

Only speaking for Mandrake which I had the unexpected pleasure
of installing at the last installfest. It has a tool called diskdrake
which supports splitting and resizing of filesystems. This tool is
built into the install system. I don't remember what filesystem type

I was amazed at how polished the Mandrake install went...
- as far as I can tell Redhat bundles diskdrake as well.
- GNU "parted" is coming along, but still doesn't touch NTFS.
- diskdrake is a perl-gtk program.

Arthur C. Brooks says that despite the heated rhetoric of the far right, the compassionate conservatism once touted by George W. Bush isn't dead. It's alive and well at the conservative American Enterprise Institute — AEI – where Brooks became president in 2009. Residing now at the top of the conservative pecking order in Washington, Brooks advises Republican leaders in Congress and spreads AEI's message to a wider audience. His specialty, as Newsweek describes it, is "translating ideas from policy speak into soaring moral prose." One of his key ideas: The endgame of free enterprise is not to preserve wealth but to create opportunity for the poor.
"Republicans could come screaming out of the gate going forward and say, 'We're the ones who will fight for the poor. We're the ones who will fight for workers,'" Brooks tells Bill. "You might not agree with what we're gonna– how we're gonna do it, but let me tell you, you will not doubt what's on our hearts."
Moyers presses Brooks on why companies like Target, McDonald's and Wal-Mart don't pay a living wage to their employees who then have to rely on public programs to support themselves – in Walmart's case, about $4,000 per worker. Brooks argues the market doesn't support higher wages and agrees that the country needs public policies that make work profitable for workers.
Brooks is the author of hundreds of articles and 10 books, including his most recent, The Road to Freedom: How to Win the Fight for Free Enterprise.

- Negative association of the chemokine receptor CCR5 d32 polymorphism with systemic inflammatory response, extra-articular symptoms and joint erosion in rheumatoid arthritis (2009)
- Introduction Chemokines and their receptors control immune cell migration during infections as well as in autoimmune responses. A 32 bp deletion in the gene of the chemokine receptor CCR5 confers protection against HIV infection, but has also been reported to decrease susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The influence of this deletion variant on the clinical course of this autoimmune disease was investigated. Methods Genotyping for CCR5d32 was performed by PCR and subsequent electrophoretic fragment length determination. For the clinical analysis, the following extra-articular manifestations of RA were documented by the rheumatologist following the patient: presence of rheumatoid nodules, major organ vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis, serositis or a Raynaud's syndrome. All documented CRP levels were analyzed retrospectively, and the last available hand and feet radiographs were analyzed with regards to the presence or absence of erosive disease. Results Analysis of the CCR5 polymorphism in 503 RA patients and in 459 age-matched healthy controls revealed a significantly decreased disease susceptibility for carriers of the CCR5d32 deletion (Odds ratio 0.67, P = 0.0437). Within the RA patient cohort, CCR5d32 was significantly less frequent in patients with extra-articular manifestations compared with those with limited, articular disease (13.2% versus 22.8%, P = 0.0374). In addition, the deletion was associated with significantly lower average CRP levels over time (median 8.85 vs. median 14.1, P = 0.0041) and had a protective effect against the development of erosive disease (OR = 0.40, P = 0.0047). Intriguingly, homozygosity for the RA associated DNASE2 -1066 G allele had an additive effect on the disease susceptibility conferred by the wt allele of CCR5 (OR = 2.24, P = 0.0051 for carrier of both RA associated alleles) Conclusions The presence of CCR5d32 significantly influenced disease susceptibility to and clinical course of RA in a German study population. The protective effect of this deletion, which has been described to lead to a decreased receptor expression in heterozygous patients, underlines the importance of chemokines in the pathogenesis of RA.
- Thymostimulin versus placebo for palliative treatment of locally advanced or metastasised hepatocellular carcinoma: a phase III clinical trial (2010)
- Background: Thymostimulin is a thymic peptide fraction with immune-mediated cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro and palliative efficacy in advanced HCC in two independent phase II trials. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of thymostimulin in a phase III trial. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter clinical phase III trial. Between 10/2002 and 03/2005, 135 patients with locally advanced or metastasised HCC (Karnofsky [greater than or equal to]60% / Child-Pugh [less than or equal to]12) were randomised to receive thymostimulin 75 mg s.c. 5x/week or placebo stratified according to liver function. Primary endpoint was twelve-month survival, secondary endpoints overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), tumor response, safety and quality of life. A subgroup analysis according to liver function, KPS and tumor stage (Okuda, CLIP and BCLC) formed part of the protocol. Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN64487365. Results: Twelve-month survival was 28% [95%CI 17-41; treatment] and 32% [95%CI 19-44; control] with no significant differences in median OS (5.0 [95% CI 3.7-6.3] vs. 5.2 [95% CI 3.5-6.9] months; p=0.87, HR=1.04 [95% CI 0.7-1.6]) or TTP (5.3 [95%CI 2.0-8.6] vs. 2.9 [95%CI 2.6-3.1] months; p=0.60, HR=1.13 [95% CI 0.7-1.8]). Adjustment for liver function, Karnofsky status or tumor stage did not affect results. While quality of life was similar in both groups, fewer patients on thymostimulin suffered from accumulating ascites and renal failure. Conclusions: In our phase III trial, we found no evidence of any benefit to thymostimulin in the treatment of advanced HCC and there is therefore no justification for its use as single-agent treatment. The effect of thymostimulin on hepato-renal function requires further confirmation. trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN64487365

- [μ-3,3′-Bis(trihydroboryl)[3]ferrocenophane]bis(chloridozirconocene) (2013)
- The title compound, [FeZr2(C5H5)4Cl2(C13H18B2)], is a heteronuclear complex that consists of a [3]ferrocenophane moiety substituted at each cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring by a BH3 group; the BH3 group is bonded via two H atoms to the Zr atom of the zirconocene chloride moiety in a bidentate fashion. The two Cp rings of the [3]ferrocenophane moiety are aligned at a dihedral angle of 8.9 (4)° arising from the strain of the propane-1,3-diyl bridge linking the two Cp rings. [One methylene group is disordered over two positions with a site-occupation factor of 0.552 (18) for the major occupied site.] The dihedral angles between the Cp rings at the two Zr atoms are 50.0 (3) and 51.7 (3)°. The bonding Zr(...)H distances are in the range 1.89 (7)–2.14 (7) Å. As the two Cp rings of the ferrocene unit are connected by an ansa bridge, the two Zr atoms approach each other at 6.485 (1) Å. The crystal packing features C—H(...)Cl interactions.
- (Acetonitrile-κN)chloridobis[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ2 C 1,N]iridium(III) (2011)
- The IrIII atom of the title compound, [Ir(C11H8N)2Cl(CH3CN)], displays a distorted octahedral coordination. The pyridyl groups are in trans positions [N—Ir—N = 173.07 (10)°], while the phenyl groups are trans with respect to the acetonitrile and chloride groups [C—Ir—N = 178.13 (11) and C—Ir—Cl = 176.22 (9)°]. The pyridylphenyl groups only show a small deviation from planarity, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the two six-membered rings in each pyridylphenyl group being 5.6 (2) and 5.8 (1)°. The crystal packing shows intermolecular C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]Cl, C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]π(acetonitrile) and C—H[cdots, three dots, centered]π(pyridylphenyl) contacts.
- 9-Bromo-9-borafluorene (2010)
- The title compound, C12H8BBr, crystallizes with three essentially planar molecules (r.m.s. deviations = 0.018, 0.020 and 0.021Å) in the asymmetric unit: since the title compound is rigid, there are no conformational differences between these three molecules. The crystal packing resembles a herringbone pattern.

Shooting Straight for a Cure in Jacksonville
June 5, 2008
Christopher Moore has been a familiar face at the Florida Chapter-North Florida Office's Shoot for a Cure since he was an endearing 6-year-old, handing out soft drinks and blank ammunition during the clay shooting event. Now 12, Christopher served in a more grown-up role this year, delivering the Bid for a Cure at this year's event and helping the chapter to raise more than $79,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The following morning, more than 140 guests in teams of four traveled in golf carts and on foot to the outskirts of Jacksonville's Northside for the spirited clay shooting competition. Following the three-hour, 17-shooting station tournament held at WW Sporting Clays, a prize drawing and an awards ceremony to honor the winning teams were held.
"Shoot is a real tradition in this area," says longtime Co-Chair Richard Lovelace, divisional vice president of the Stellar Group. "So many volunteers and donors who have been coming for years are dedicated to the event's success, and many new guests are stepping up to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation."
Among those dedicated supporters are leaders from the North Florida construction industry, including corporate sponsors Adams Interior Contractors, Batson-Cook Company, Stellar Foundation, Miller Electric Company, Bender & Modlin Fire Sprinkler, Inc., and Empire Tilt-up Systems. Many thanks also go to key volunteers Gayle Staton, Allen Bender, Eddie O' Halloran, Bill Carr, Bill Klima, David Barksdale, Doug Meyers, Jody Adams and Richard Lovelace for their help.

I don't disagree. It's not cheap to sue someone. But it's also costing him a lot of lost business to have this guy out there badmouthing his company. So if it were happening to me, I'd consider the money spent on lawsuit and attorney, money well spent. In the end, you would get the other guy to stop for good, very likely.
On the other hand, it's highly unlikely it would ever go to court. My business attorney told me when we started this process with the ex-employee that the likelihood of this actually going to court was
low. He had done dozens of cases like mine over the years and he said he had never, yet, had to go to court. The other party had always eventually relented once they realized they were on the wrong side of the law. Which is exactly what happened in my case. I was a little worried it might cost me a few grand to put him in his place. And I wasn't happy at that prospect, but I was willing to do it, because he was specifically targeting MY clients - and I'm sorry but I'm not going to stand by and let that happen. No matter what it cost me, I was going to win this. Fortunately, it only cost me a few hundred and we got everything we wanted.
As for hardscaping, I guess it depends on your business, your marketing, and your area. For us, it's a huge part of our business these days. Made over $1Mil. in hardscape jobs this year. Or jobs that were mostly hardscape with some landscaping too. So if I had someone targeting me on that, in this way, I'd definitely go after them. I wouldn't just say, "Whatever, that's how business goes. Life's rough" and let him get away with it. But maybe that's just me. I'm nice 95% of the time. But when I need to be, I'll be a total bulldog!
