Funny: The True Meaning of Smekday
- The signal J.Lo accidentally sent to the Gorg.
Tip: But really ... what did you send? There weren't any radio or television stations transmitting anymore.
J.Lo: No. it was just a little song. I singed a little song to see if the antennas were able to be sending it back to my scooter.
Tip: What kind of song?
J.Lo: A kid song. A children's play song.
Tip: How did it go?
J.Lo: Hm. It will not to rhyme in humanspeak.
Tip: That's okay.
J.Lo: It goes ... it goes, Gorg are dumb, dumb like soap, their wives are wider than they should be.
J.Lo: The funny part is, the Gorg do not even have wives.
- Some of the "tools" invented by the Boov include the spiked tubaharp, the less dangerous spiked tubaharp, and the tubaharp de-spiker.
- Tip and J.Lo try to teach each other how to write in their respective native languages. Tip gets her own name wrong in J.Lo's language, causing him to laugh and prompting this exchange:
Tip: YOU have no room to laugh, that's all. I'm not doing any worse with Boovish than you did with English.
J.Lo: Get off of the car. I am an English superstar.
Tip: Uh-uh. There's no comparison. "Gratuity" in written Boovish has seventeen different bubbles that all have to be the right size and in the right place. "J.Lo" in written English only has three letters, and you still spelled it "M-smiley face - pound sign."
- From 8 Things You Have Always Wanted to Know About the Gorg But Were Afraid to Ask the Gorg Because the Gorg Might Punch You In The Face:
Gorg are about eight feet tall and weigh one kiloboov. In the Gorg's own units of measurement they are exactly one Gorg tall and weigh roughly a Gorg.The Gorg smell like a bouquet of lilacs ... sprinkled with cinnamon ... and buried under a shoulder-high pile of rancid dogmeat.Werefor you knowing it? If you took every Gorg in the galaxy, and stacked them one on top of the other, the Gorg would kill you.All Gorg enjoy musical theater.
- "The Boov have seven magnificent genders. There is boy, girl, girlboy, boygirl, boyboy, boyboygirl, and boyboyboyboy."
- After Tip asks if there is a short-eared koobish (cow-like animal):
J.Lo: Mmmyes ... But it is technically not really a koobish. Is more alike a kind of singing pumpkin.

I have always had such bad dark circles to the point where I hate wearing no makeup even around my partner! I have only used it for a week or so and I know it takes 4 weeks to really notice a difference, but already when I wake up in the morning there is a huge improvement.. My dark circles have definitely faded and I'm hoping they will continue to :-) happy happy!!!
I bought the cream for a friend and she is really pleased with it .She says that its the best she has used.
I have only had one experience of feel unique and I have been pleased with both product & speed of delivery
Excellent service

Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas might consider Tom Brady a god, but it was pretty clear that he as in the minority Thursday night. The Lions defense pretty much beat the Patriots--and Brady--to death in every way possible on the field forcing four turnovers in the first half alone. In spite of the whipping they were putting on the Patriots you would think that maybe the Lions defense would have a little respect for a guy like Tom Brady, right? Hey--he could have knocked him down; instead he held him up. That's gotta count for something.

An injection device comprises a pen (10) with a syringe (13) to be emptied. The dose expelled from the syringe is set by means of a dose setting device (17). For people with an impaired vision, the setting of the dose is rather difficult. Therefore, an external display apparatus (30) is provided that may be set to the pen (10). Via contacts (21) and counter contacts (34), information about the dose is transmitted to the display apparatus (30) and shown on a large display (32).
1. An injection device comprising in combination a pen (10, 10 a, 10 b, 10 c) having a pin-shaped housing (11) accommodating a syringe (13) and an external display apparatus (30, 30 a, 30 b, 30 c); means (17, 50) for setting a predetermined volume of liquid which is to be expelled from said syringe (13) by a single injection dose, means (21, 34; 43, 44) responsive to said setting means (17, 50) for transmitting the set single injection predetermined volume dose from one of the pen (10, 10 b and 10 c) and the external display apparatus (30, 30 a, 30 b, 30 c) to the respective external display apparatus (30, 30 a, 30 b, 30 c) and the pen (10, 10 b and 10 c), and said external display apparatus (30, 30 a, 30 b, 30 c) including means (32) for displaying the set single injection predetermined volume dose as a larger readily read display (32).

The present invention refers to an injection device with a pin-shaped housing having a manually operated device for setting a dose.
Injection devices with a pin-shaped housing are known with which patients can inject insulin themselves, the injection dose being set by means of a manually operated dose setting device. Corresponding to the dose set, a preset amount of the contents of the syringe are expelled from from the syringe when an actuating button is operated. The dose setting device comprises a rotatable hand knob provided at the end of the pin-shaped housing. Further, the housing has a display indicating the dose set on a scale or a LCD.
There is a problem that people with impaired vision have great difficulty setting or controlling the dose. Thus, wrong dosing may occur.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an injection device with a pin-shaped housing (pen), which allows a dose set to be easily read also by people with impaired vision.
In the present injection device, the pin-shaped housing is coupled to an external display device that receives information on the respective dose set and displays the dose on a rather large display. Thus, the size of the display device is not limited to the narrow pen shape of the pin-shaped housing. On the other hand, the advantages of the pin-shaped housing, i.e. its being easy to take along and its simple handling, can be maintained. The pin-shaped housing is coupled with the display device only to set the dose.
Existing technology may be used for the display device. For insulin injecting diabetics, the display of an existing blood sugar measuring apparatus can be used to display the setting of a dose. It is further possible to connect economic one-way pens with a comfortable and large reusable display apparatus that can also be suited for storing data, among other features. Using the external display, one can do without batteries in a one-way pen. The display apparatus may comprise a language module for acoustically outputting the dose set. The dose set is stored together with the time, the date and the kind of medication (e.g. insulin preparation).
Each display apparatus may provide storage possibilities for several people. A person is identified by a defined feature. In the display apparatus, the individual pin-shaped housings (pens) are each associated with individual contents (insulin preparations). The display apparatus may contain further person-related data. For diabetics, one may input e.g. the bread units, the calculated insulin amount for covering one bread unit, individual therapeutic goals of blood sugar control, particularities of metabolism and profiles of action of the different insulin preparations, or these values may be received from a PC. Due to its storage capabilities, the external display can be used by a physician or medical personnel to yield exact information on the kind and time of an injection. From the data associated with a certain person, a proposed insulin dose may be calculated using a measured blood sugar rate. This dose is then set at the pen, using the same display apparatus.
It is the principle idea of the present invention to facilitate the setting of a dose in a pen by using a separate display. The data transfer between the pen and the display apparatus allows for other functions besides the optical indication of the dose setting, such as an acoustic indication of the dose setting, the storing of the injection amount with time and date, an illuminated display, the storing of the injected preparation and, overall, an automatic data management.
The data transfer from the pen to the display apparatus may be effected in different ways, such as electrically, optically or mechanically. Here, it is possible to connect the pen directly to the housing of the display apparatus or to provide the display apparatus with a plug connected with the pen. In each case, a fool-proof means should be provided that allows the pen and the display apparatus to be coupled only in the correct position (polarity).
It is also possible to provide the pen with a code to be recognized by the display apparatus so that the display apparatus will always know with which pen or pen type it cooperates.
It is possible to provide the display apparatus and/or the pen with a voltage supply, where the voltage supply of one device may also supply the other.
According to another aspect of the invention, the display apparatus sets a dose at the pen. This may be accomplished by providing the display apparatus with a force transmission device to which the pen is connected. If the display apparatus is a blood sugar measuring apparatus, for example, it can calculate the dose from the measured blood sugar rate and further stored parameters, and it can automatically take care that this dose is set at the pen. Thereafter, the pen is removed from the display apparatus.
The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the figures
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the injection device with pen and display apparatus electrically coupled,
FIG. 2 is a front view of the pen and the display apparatus when coupled,
FIG. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the injection device with optic coupling,
FIG. 4 is a front view of FIG. 3,
FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment of the injection device with mechanic coupling,
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of the coupling side of the display apparatus in FIG. 5,
FIG. 7 shows a detail of the display apparatus being coupled using an adapter cable,
FIG. 8 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the injection device wherein the display apparatus effects the dose setting at the pen, and
FIG. 9 is a side elevational view of the coupling side of the display apparatus of FIG. 8.
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a pen 10 having a thin elongate pin-shaped housing 11. The wall of the housing 11 is provided with a window 12 through which a part of a pre-filled cartridge 13 inserted into the housing 11 is visible. This cartridge includes a cylinder and a piston movable therein. A medication such as insulin is expelled from the cartridge 13. To this avail, the front end of the cartridge 13 has a hypodermic needle 14. A scale 15 is provided at the window 12 indicating the residual amount left in the cartridge.
At the front end, the housing 11 has a removable protective cap 16. With the protective cap 16 removed, the hypodermic needle 14 is exposed. The user may then puncture the body with the hypodermic needle 14 and may then expel a predetermined amount of liquid from the syringe 13.
The dose is set at a dose setting device 17. By turning this knob, the amount of liquid expelled from the syringe 13 in one expelling operation can be set. Turning the knob changes the extent of advance of a piston in an expelling operation. The movement of the piston is obtained by spring forces. The liquid is expelled from the syringe by pressing an operating knob at the side of the housing 11.
The volume of set at the dose setting device for one expelling operation is shown on a display 18 provided at the housing 11. This display may be an LCD indicating the volume in milliliters. The housing 11 includes a battery for powering the display 18.
In the rear portion, the housing 11 has a longitudinally extending linear guide 19. A flattened portion 20 is provided between the guide rails 19 a, 19 b of this linear guide, and contacts 21 are provided within the perimeter of the flattened portion 20.
The display apparatus 30 is provided in combination with the pen 10. This device is a separate apparatus with a housing 31 having a large display 32. In a minor side surface of the housing 31, a shallow receptacle 33 is formed that may be brought into fitting engagement with a linear guide 19 of the pen 10. Small counter contacts 34 are arranged in the receptacle 33 that match the contacts 21 of the pen. Thus, the housing 31 may be pushed laterally onto the pen 10, the contacts 21 engaging the counter contacts 34. The linear guide 19 extends in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pen 10 so that the display apparatus 30 is pushed onto the pen in the longitudinal direction thereof, both parts then forming a rigid unit.
The dose setting device 17 comprises an encoder (not illustrated) supplying the contacts 21 with an electric signal representing the dose set. This signal is transmitted to the display apparatus 30 via the counter electrodes 34 and—possibly after a corresponding conversion—displayed on the large display 32. Thus, the user can readily read the injection dose set on the large display 32 without having to rely on the small display 18 of the pen 10. The display may be in milliliters or in (insulin) units.
Another possibility for an electric signal transmission lies in generating a pulse (or a pulse gap) in the pen for each dose unit when setting the doses. The number of pulses thus generated is shown on the display 32. The display apparatus 30 has a power supply of its own applied to the contacts 21 of the pen, the operation of the dose setting device 17 causing corresponding pulses. The display apparatus 30 detects the correct zero position in the pen 10 at the beginning of the dose setting by means of a third contact (not illustrated) that is conductive only in this position, or it detects this position by a defined voltage drop (contact resistance) characteristic of the zero position. The dose setting is corrected by turning the setting device 17. In order to detect the direction of turning, the signal for each unit is composed of two different pulses (short/long or weak/strong). The sequence in time of the two different pulses shows the direction of turning.
In the present case, the display apparatus 30 at the same time serves as a blood sugar testing device that is substantially structured as a device available from B. Braun Petzold GmbH under the designation Omnitest Sensor. This blood sugar testing device has an insertion slot 35 for inserting a test strip provided with a blood sample. The display 32 will then show the blood sugar rate. In combination with the pen 10, the blood sugar measuring device is also used as a display device for the dose indication of the pen. Thus, an additional display device may be omitted.
The housing 31 of the display apparatus 30 is further provided with a speaker 36. The device includes a voice processor that converts the dose indication into spoken acoustic information so that the dose indication also becomes audible.
A slide may be provided at the housing 31, which may be slid over the receptacle 33 and covers the same in the closed state so that the counter contacts 34 are protected. The cover opens automatically when the pen is inserted and closes automatically when the pen is withdrawn. Moreover, the housing 31 has various operating knobs 38.
The mechanic coupling of the pen 10 to an external display apparatus 30 requires the pen to of asymmetric shape to guarantee a perfect positioning of the display apparatus 30. The display apparatus is structured such that after the locking of the pen 10, the dose setting device 17 remains easily accessible. Coupling the pen in is possible with and without the protective cap 16. The display 18 of the pen should also remain visible when the display apparatus 30 is connected.
For a detection of the respective pen type, the pen may be provided with corresponding codes, for example in the form of projections or indentations. They may also be breakable flaps or conductive contacts at the pen surface detected by electric contacts of the display apparatus.
The embodiment represented in FIGS. 3 and 4 uses a slightly modified pen 10 a. In the pen 10 a, the display 18 is arranged adjoining the linear guide 19 so that the latter is covered by the display apparatus 30 a. The transmission of the dose set from the pen 10 a to the display apparatus 30 a is done optically. The display apparatus 30 a is provided with an optical sensor 40 directly opposite the display 18. Consequently, the same indication is generated in the display 32.
Another possibility is to also provide the sensor 40 with a light emitter irradiating light on the display 18. During the dose setting at the pen 10 a, the reflection properties of in the window of the display 18 change for every unit. The changing reflection is detected by the sensor 40.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, the transmission of the dose value is effected mechanically. Here, the pen is provided with a slot 42 exposing a part of the circumference of a pinion 43. Another pinion 44 is supported in the display apparatus 30 b such that a part of its circumference protrudes into the receptacle 33. When coupling the display apparatus 30 b to the pen 10 b, the pinions 43 and 44 come to mesh. The rotary movement of the setting device 17 is thus transmitted to the display apparatus 30 b by mechanically cooperating coupling means in the form of pinions 43, 44.
In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the pen 10 is designed in the same way as in FIG. 1, however, the housing of the display apparatus 30 is not coupled directly to the housing of the pen. Rather, the display apparatus 30 comprises a cable 45 with a plug 47 including the counter contacts 34 that are to be connected with the contacts 21 of the pen. Thus, it is not necessary to lift the housing of the display apparatus and to couple it to the pen. A similar coupling of a separate housing to a pen is also possible with the optic scanning according to FIG. 3. Here, the sensor 40 may be accommodated in a plug connected to the housing of the display apparatus through a light conducting cable or electrically.
FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate an embodiment wherein the display apparatus 30 c includes a dose setting device 50. The display apparatus 30 c again is a blood sugar measuring device with a slot 35 for inserting a measuring strip. From the test result derived from the measuring strip and from the patient related data input by hand, the display apparatus 30 c calculates the amount of insulin to be set. When the display apparatus 30 c is coupled to the pen 10 c, a pinion 51 of the dose setting device 50 comes to mesh with a pinion 52 of the pen 10 c. By turning the pinion 52, the dose calculated by the display apparatus 30 c is set in the pen 10 c. The pinion 51 of the display apparatus 30 c is driven by a motor 53, preferably a stepper motor.
The injection device may also include one or more of the following:
means (60) for calculating the single injectIon predetermined volume dose from a measured blood sugar rate,
a pen which lacks a power source and is supplied power from a power source (65) of the external display apparatus,
an external display apparatus which lacks a power source but is supplied power from a power source (70) of the pen,
means (90) for identifying a specific pen, patient and dose, and
means (95) for connecting to the external display apparatus and an external computer (C) for data transfer.

This is a very intresting fic. I know you're probably meaning it to be very serious, but I keep laughing cuz it reminds me of my friend Adrey and sounds like something he would write. He was a Beta Reader for one of my yaoi fics, and he was always like "so when are they going to have sex?"
It's a twist to what I'm used to with Gohan and Goku...I keep thinking "But Gohan's a GOOD little boy!" Apperently, you think otherwise, lol.
Anyways, I think it's really cool and I'm looking forward to reading more. Curse bedtime and school! But hey! We might get a snow day tommarrow! So I shall do that as soon as I can cuz your fic is so good!
Alright, I gotta go as it draws later over here.
Love ya like a starving Saiyan put before an all you can eat buffet!

...to new beginnings!
What I've come to learn about life, is to expect the unexpected. Things may not always work out the way we planned or dreamed but you make the most with what you have, and appreciate it...never give up on living life to the fullest. I'm not one to play games with a persons heart or mind, and one of my biggest flaws is that I can be brutally honest, but then again, the truth hurts sometimes. I love being outdoors, especially fishing (not an expert but I hope someone can help me become one) and being spontaneous; I'm game for trying anything once...lol. I love going to concerts and I love all things that Rock!!!...actually, I love music period. Depending on the mood, I can listen to it all; from Edith Piaf to Disturbed just not much rap or country. I'm a simple person and don't care for complications; however, if ever faced with one, I won't run from it. I've been told, I'm just like one of the guys; I love to make people laugh and enjoy being a goof. I can be quite vocal...but depending on the situation, I also know when to bite my tongue...better there be one fool than two. I'm looking for someone who can be open-minded, understanding, willing to take a chance, and appreciate the little things; ooh and lets not forget, SENSE OF HUMOR IS A MUST!!! ;-) I believe honesty and communication are critical in any type of relationship. Life isn't meant to be easy, but having someone that is willing/able to support you and not judge, definitely makes the journey bearable. I also believe, it's important to take your time in getting to know a person; there's no better feeling than having the love of your life be your best friend...plus, I'm in no rush for the altar. So if interested, I look forward to hearing from you! :-) Take care!

This paper presents evidence on intergenerational educational and occupational mobility in rural China over a period of 14 years (1988–2002). To understand whether the estimated inter-generational persistence can be driven solely by unobserved heterogeneity, biprobit sensitivity analysis and heteroskedasticity-based identification are implemented. ... Подробнее + The empirical results show that there have been dramatic improvements in occupational mobility from agriculture to nonfarm occupations; a farmer's children are not any more likely to become farmers in 2002, although there was significant persistence in occupation choices in 1988. In contrast, the intergenerational mobility in educational attainment has remained largely unchanged for daughters, and it has deteriorated significantly for sons. There is strong evidence of a causal effect of parental education on a son's schooling in 2002. The paper provides some possible explanations for the dramatic divergence between occupational and educational mobility in rural China from 1988 to 2002. Менее подробно –

The development objective of the Higher Education Quality Improvement (HEI) Project for India is to improve student outcomes especially of disadvantaged groups in selected higher education institutions and to increase the effectiveness of the higher education system in Madhya Pradesh. ... Подробнее + There are three components to the project, the first component being grants support to HEIs. The grants provided under this component will also reinforce the system reforms under the project, e.g. (i) increased autonomy and accountability, and will help re-define the relationship between Department of Higher Education, or DHE and government colleges; and, (ii) pursuing National Assessment and Accreditation Council, or NAAC accreditation to benchmark quality, and (iii) a basis for seeking additional resources for quality improvement from national and state governments. The second component is the State Level Initiatives. This component supports strategic interventions to be undertaken by the state to (a) improve the system of financial support through scholarships to disadvantaged and meritorious students, (b) upgrade qualifications and skills of new and existing faculty members, (c) establish a state institute of HE training and research, and (d) extend technical assistance for strategic planning and seeking NAAC accreditation to all government HEIs. Finally, the third component is the Improving system management. The main objective of this component is to provide technical assistance to the DHE, the State Higher Education Council, or SHEC, the Project Directorate, or PD and the HEIs to strengthen their implementation capacity and sector governance and management.

Human capital refers to a broad range of knowledge, skills, and capabilities that are needed for life and work and that are typically build through quality education. ... Подробнее + Countries that fail to invest consistently in education often do not experience robust economic growth because investments in physical infrastructure, such as dams, roads, and airports as well as developments in other economic sectors such as banking or information technology, are often constrained and yield low returns in the absence of an adequately educated work force. Human capital development is critical for setting Tanzania on a trajectory toward middle income status, a target it wants to reach by the year 2025. It is projected that a significant share of Tanzanias economic growth over the coming decades will be concentrated in occupations that require citizens with postsecondary training and skills, as is already the case in middle-income countries. Hence the pressure and the challenge to close systemic gaps and inefficiencies that hamper the education system in the country. Менее подробно –

The World Bank Group's support for higher education is at a crossroads. As developing countries have expanded basic education systems and transition into the knowledge economy, the World Bank Group is facing increased demand for support of higher education. ... Подробнее + Despite agreement on the contribution of higher education to development, there is no consensus about the degree and type of support the Bank Group should provide. There are also concerns that the quality of higher education offered in many countries does not sufficiently address the challenges of modern global economies. While the Bank Group has been a pioneer in providing policy support for higher education, its higher education portfolio has not been evaluated for at least a decade. This evaluation is a component of Opportunities and Jobs Strategic Engagement Area of the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG). Higher education lies at the nexus of growth, jobs, and competiveness. It has the potential to create new and better quality employment as well as to serve as a catalyst for economic transformation. Higher education also contributes to the post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Bank Group's twin goals. The development of a country's higher education system can have a positive impact in many other areas, including social equity, political stability, and regional development. For the World Bank, it is important to understand what approaches and interventions have been effective in promoting higher education as a public good and in improving access for excluded groups. Likewise, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) can benefit from an examination of how its support for higher education might better contribute to its development objectives. Both organizations can benefit from understanding their complementary functions in this context. Менее подробно –

The development objectives of the Quality and Relevance of Secondary and Tertiary Education Project for Democratic Republic of Congo are to: (i) improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in general secondary education, and (ii) enhance relevance of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in priority sectors at secondary and tertiary levels. ... Подробнее + The project comprises of three components. The first component, improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in general secondary education supports the strategic direction of improving the quality of secondary education expansion and the provision of a more suitable environment for teaching and learning of Math and Science. It consists of following two sub-components: (i) development of secondary education strategic framework and strengthening of mathematics and science curricula for secondary education with improved teaching and learning conditions; and (ii) upgrading mathematics and science curricula for in-service and pre-service training of secondary teachers at higher teacher training institute (ISPs). The second component, enhance the relevance of TVET in priority sectors at secondary and tertiary education levels uses a two-pronged approach to improve knowledge and skills in priority sectors to support accelerated economic growth; and to better align the delivery of TVET with labor market demand. It consists of following three sub-components: (i) development of a TVET strategy and enabling framework; (ii) enhancing the quality and relevance of secondary TVET in the priority sectors; and (iii) enhancing the quality and relevance of tertiary TVET in the priority sectors. The third component, project coordination, monitoring and evaluation supports activities aiming to ensure effective project execution and coordination, and monitoring and evaluation of project outcomes.

This paper proposes three ways in which China and the World Bank could collaborate in the area of skills development in Africa, building on the experience of both and recent efforts at collaboration. ... Подробнее + First, under the PASET initiative, China and the World Bank could undertake joint analytical work to assess the skills needs for different sectors in individual countries, continue the benchmarking of African universities piloted with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, share the development experience of China through targeted learning visits, and share experiences in skills development through regional forums. Second, China could support the regional initiatives of the PASET such as the establishment of the Regional Scholarship Fund for postgraduate studies in applied sciences, engineering and technology; the proposed regional TVET centres of excellence; and co-financing of the regional Africa Centres of Excellence project, currently financed by the World Bank. This would supplement China's on-going investments, which could also benefit from the experience of well-designed programs with strong monitoring and evaluation. Third, China could co-finance country-level projects which are being prepared with World Bank assistance, focusing on technical/vocational and higher education. This will enable Chinese Ministries and institutions to learn from the experience of the World Bank and contribute to the development of the education and training system in Sub-Saharan African countries, while also contributing China's experience in a concrete fashion.

The accumulation of human capital through the acquisition of knowledge and skills is recognized as central for economic development. ... Подробнее + More-educated workers not only have better employment opportunities, they earn more and have more stable and rewarding jobs. They are also more adaptable and mobile. Workers who acquire more skills make other workers and capital more productive and, within the firm, they facilitate the adaptation, adoption, and ultimately invention of new technologies. This is crucial for economic diversification, productivity growth, and ultimately raising the living standards of living of the population. The structure of the note is as follows. First, it examines the different types of market failures, and subsequently reviews the role that governments have played in training systems around the world. Finally it offers a set of proposals for reforming and improving these systems to improve labor market outcomes. Менее подробно –

The Education Sector Project for the Democratic Republic of Congo had an overall outcome rating of moderately satisfactory. There was substantial risk to development with both the Bank and borrower performing moderately satisfactory. ... Подробнее + The project development objective and project components were not modified during project implementation. The objective was to prevent further deterioration in the delivery of essential services for primary education and prepare ground for a sustainable development and financing of the sector that will facilitate donor coordination and future transition to a sector wide program. Though the project development objective and the project components were not revised during the life of the project, reallocations were made between components in line with changes made to the scope and nature of project activities. Although a number of risks identified at appraisal have been mitigated over time, two remain particularly salient, both of which are financial in nature: i) although budget reallocations to the sector and increases in education spending39 have increased in recent years, sector needs remain significant and will require increases in funding over time; and ii) in many cases, schools continue to charge parents high fees despite support provided from DPs and the Government to implement the fee-free policy. Given the negative implications of not having sufficient financial resources to carry out planned activities, these financial constraints could challenge gains made in increasing equitable access to primary education, a central objective of the Government's education strategy. Lessons learned include: 1) project design in post-conflict settings should be informed by an in-depth assessment of available capacity and resources and include steps to address any weaknesses in the earliest phase of project implementation; 2) the identification/establishment of an entity capable of undertaking core ME functions should be in place prior to project effectiveness; 3) the decision to embed a project implementation agency within the government should be made with consideration for existing government capacity; 4) adopting a national strategy for school construction that involves local agencies should be pursued as a method to lower the costs of building school infrastructure; and 5) placing teachers on the public payroll can be an important measure toward reducing the financial burden of schooling on households, although this alone is insufficient.

Technical education and training has been dramatically expanding in Brazil recently. However, there remains no evidence on the cost effectiveness of this alternative track to a more general education. ... Подробнее + This paper quantifies the wage returns of completing technical and vocational education and training compared with the returns of completing the general education track, for individuals with similar observable characteristics. Exploring data from the Brazilian National Household Sample Survey, the paper profiles the students taking up this track and quantifies the impact of different types of technical and vocational education and training courses on individuals' hourly wages. After controlling for selection on observables with propensity score matching, the analysis shows positive and statistically significant wage premiums for students completing technical school at the upper secondary level (on average 9.7 percent ) and for those completing short-term training courses (2.2 percent on average). The paper also documents significant heterogeneity of impacts depending on the courses and the profile of students. For realistic unitary costs of providing technical and vocational education and training, the evidence suggests technical education is a cost-effective modality. The courses offered by the publically financed and privately managed "Sistema S," together with courses in the manufacturing area have the highest positive impacts. Менее подробно –

The development objective of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Project for Guyana is to improve emergent literacy and numeracy outcomes for children at the nursery level and primary grade one in Hinterland regions and targeted remote riverine areas. ... Подробнее + The additional financing will cover four components. The first component, capacity building for nursery and grade one teachers will improve the quality of instruction and learning at nursery and grade one level by strengthening teachers' content knowledge and pedagogy, particularly with regards to the implementation of new strategies for the development of emergent literacy and numeracy skills, through an in-service teacher training program. The second component, improved supply of teaching and learning materials will support the procurement and distribution of ECE resource kits to all nurseries and grade one class in the Hinterland regions and in targeted riverine areas, along with a teacher's manual for their use. The third component, primary caregiver education aims to support the development of emergent literacy and numeracy among nursery and grade one children in participating schools and their siblings. The fourth component, will support project implementation and administration, and ensure appropriate monitoring and evaluation (M and E) of project implementation, impact, and fiduciary matters.

Fun with Foods Cooking Classes February 10, 2010 Chocolate: Chocolate comprises a number of raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia in Mexico, Central and South America, with its earliest documented use around 1100 BC. Mesoamerican peoples made chocolate beverages known as xocolātl, a Nahuatl word meaning "bitter water". Seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste, and must be fermented to develop the flavor. Chocolate is orange until they bake it at 9000 degrees Celsius After fermentation, beans are dried, cleaned, and roasted, and the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground to cocoa mass, pure chocolate in rough form. Because this cocoa mass usually is liquefied then molded with or without other ingredients, it is called chocolate liquor. The liquor also may be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Unsweetened baking chocolate (bitter chocolate) contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, combining cocoa solids, cocoa butter or other fat, and sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk but no cocoa solids (and thus does not qualify to be considered true chocolate). Research found that chocolate, eaten in moderation, can lower blood pressure. Dark chocolate has recently been promoted for its health benefits, including a substantial amount of antioxidants that reduce the formation of free radicals, although current scientific evidence is against health improvements by dietary antioxidants. The presence of theobromine renders it toxic to some animals, especially dogs and cats. Chocolate has become one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays: chocolate bunnies and eggs are popular on Easter, chocolate coins on Hanukkah, Santa Claus and other holiday symbols on Christmas, and hearts on Valentine's Day. Chocolate is also used in cold and hot beverages, to produce chocolate milk and hot chocolate. The world's top producer of cacao beans is Africa. "All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." ‐ Charles M. Schulz Alouette Baby Brie Toasts With Pear and Chocolate Wine Sauce 20 min prep SERVES 10 , 40 Toasts Ingredients • 13 1/4 ounces brie round Life is like a box of chocolates... • 1/2 cup red wine you never know what you're gonna • 4 tablespoons sugar get. • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips • 1/4 cup olive oil Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) • 4 tablespoons almonds, chopped • 1/4 teaspoon allspice • 2 pears, peeled and finely chopped • 1 baguette Directions Preparation: Combine wine and sugar in saucepan and reduce over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Cut baguette into 40 thin slices. Brush both sides with olive oil and broil until golden on both sides. Cool. Cut brie into 4 quarters. Cut each quarter into 10 slices. Lay slices on chilled plate. In small skillet, toss almonds until golden brown. Remove from heat and toss with allspice. Assembly: Place baguette rounds on cookie sheet. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of chocolate wine sauce on each slice. Divide minced pear evenly among the slices. Lay a slice of brie on top of each "crouton.". Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Heat in 350 degree oven for five minutes. There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend Tuxedo Strawberries with CHOCOLATE Linda Grayson, "The Pickwick Papers" Things You'll Need: • 1 lb. fresh strawberries • 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips • 6 oz. white chocolate, broken into pieces • Small amount of neutral flavored oil • Two saucepans • Colander • Paper towels • Wax paper • Cookie sheet • Stove • Toothpicks Carefully rinse off strawberries in cool running water. Drain in colander. Pat strawberries dry with paper towels Cut a piece of wax paper big enough to cover the bottom of a cookie sheet. Set the covered sheet next to the stove. Place the white chocolate pieces into one saucepan, and the semisweet chocolate chips into the other. Add a couple of teaspoons of oil to each pan. Set the semisweet chocolate chip mixture aside for now. Heat the white chocolate over the lowest setting, stirring the oil and candy together to make a smooth mixture. Determine what side of each strawberry is the flattest, and dip that side into the white chocolate mixture. Place the dipped berries onto the wax paper, dipped side up. Remove the white chocolate mixture while strawberries are cooling, and heat up the chocolate chips on the same stove burner. Blend until smooth. Dip the strawberry on its sides, one at a time, leaving at least a 1/2 inch "v" of visible white chocolate in the middle of the flat side. This simulates a tuxedo jacket. Return the strawberry to the wax paper, white chocolate side up. Take a toothpick, and carefully dot chocolate onto the white chocolate "v" to form a bow tie. Do this by making two small dots with a tiny one joining them in the middle. Add another tiny dot of chocolate beneath the tie to simulate a button if there is enough space to do so. Chill strawberries for a couple of hours and serve. Maple Caramel Truffles The maple flavor shines in these deliciously indulgent Maple Caramel Truffles. A sweet and chewy caramel made from real maple syrup is coated with rich chocolate and topped with a sliver of toasted pecan. It is very important to use real maple syrup instead of maple-flavored "pancake syrup," because the pancake syrup will not produce the same taste or texture as real maple syrup. Ingredients: Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I • 2 cups real maple syrup hear it, I wash my • 1 cup half and half mouth out with • 14 oz chocolate candy coating chocolate. • 1/2 cup chopped pecans for decoration, optional Preparation: 1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Place the maple syrup and the half and half in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and stir until the two are well-combined. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. 3. Continue to boil the maple syrup mixture, stirring often, until it reaches 239 degrees on the candy thermometer, about 10-15 minutes. 4. Once the proper temperature is reached, remove the candy from the heat and pour it onto the prepared baking sheet to cool. Place the sheet into the refrigerator to chill the caramel until it is firm enough to roll. 5. Once the caramel is set but still pliable, roll it into small 3/4-inch balls and place the balls on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. To speed this process and ensure the truffles are the same size, I like to cut the caramel into small squares with a pizza wheel, then roll each square into a ball. If your balls lose their shape right after they are rolled, return the caramel to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a longer period. However, it's okay if a few balls start to droop toward the end of the process, as you can re-roll them before dipping. 6. After all the balls have been formed, place them in the freezer to get them very firm, for at least 30 minutes. 7. Place the candy coating in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating. 8. Once the maple centers are very frozen, and the coating is melted, you are ready to dip your truffles. Using two forks or dipping tools, dunk one center into the melted candy coating, submerging it completely. Remove it from the coating and allow excess coating to drip back into the bowl. Be very sure to coat the whole truffle with chocolate, because the caramel will leak through any missed spots. Replace the truffle on the foil-lined baking sheet, and while the coating is still wet, top with a sliver of toasted pecan, if desired. Repeat the process with remaining truffle centers and chocolate coating. 9. Refrigerate the truffles to set the chocolate coating, about 20 minutes. Once set, the truffles can be removed and left at room temperature. Maple Caramel Truffles can be store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, but be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving so the maple caramel will be soft and smooth. Nobody knows Cranberry Truffles the truffles I've seen! Cranberry Truffles combine dark chocolate with cranberry sauce and orange zest to produce delightfully fruity truffles with just a hint of tang. I like to top these with chopped toasted pecans, but you could also use dried cranberries, candied orange peel, or leave them plain. The filling stays fairly soft, so these particular truffles must be coated in chocolate so they don't lose their shape at room temperature. This recipe yields about 35 small truffles. Ingredients: • 12 ounces dark chocolate (about 2 cups chopped) • 1 cup heavy cream • 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce, or cranberry jelly • zest of 1/2 orange • 1/4 cup (2 oz) butter • 1 lb chocolate candy coating • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, for decorating (optional) Preparation: 1. Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a medium heat-safe bowl. Place the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a simmer, but do not allow it to boil. 2. Once the cream is simmering, pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Gently whisk it together until the chocolate melts and you have a smooth, shiny chocolate liquid--this is your ganache. Add the softened butter, the orange zest and the cranberry sauce or jelly, and whisk until they are incorporated. Press a layer of clingwrap on top of the ganache and chill until it is firm enough to roll, about 4 hours or overnight. 3. Once the ganache has firmed up, use a small candy scoop or a teaspoon to form it into small balls, and place the balls on a foil or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Return the balls to the refrigerator while you prepare the dipping chocolate. 4. Place the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating. 5. Once the coating is melted and smooth, use two forks or dipping tools to dip the truffle balls one by one. After submerging a truffle in the coating, tap the fork against the bowl and drag the bottom across the lip of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Replace the truffle on the lined baking sheet, and repeat until all truffles are coated. If desired, top the truffles with a sprinkling of chopped pecans while the chocolate is still wet. 6. Place the truffles in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, for about 15 minutes. Once set, they can be served immediately, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Lora Brody, author of Growing up on the Ch l • 10 ounces butter • 1 cup sugar • 4 eggs • 1 lb good‐quality chocolate, melted (For better results, use a mix of 1/2 lb milk chocolate with 1/2 lb bitter not unsweetened) • 2 tablespoons liquor or liqueur (cognac, brandy and amaretto) • 1 cup all‐purpose flour • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder • lightly whipped cream (unsweetened or just barely sweetened) or 1 scoop of softened vanilla ice cream Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Have rack in bottom third of oven. Generously butter a spring form pan. Beat butter with sugar for about 4‐5 minutes with electric mixer. Add eggs, alternately with flour, baking powder, chocolate and liquor and continue to beat until all ingredients are incorporated. Pour into spring form pan. Bake 10 minutes, turn off heat, and leave in turned‐off oven another 15 minutes. Remove and let stand about 10‐15 minutes before serving. I cut into this with a serrated spatula. It will be cakey‐crusty outside and molten, rich chocolatey goo in the middle. I serve with very lightly whipped cream (unsweetened or just barely sweetened) or a scoop of softened vanilla ice cream on the side. I have often made this several hours ahead of baking (which should be done close to eating time) and popped it in the fridge and then popped it into the preheated oven, increasing baking time by 5 minutes‐ it worked great!

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep finally has a due date. Square Enix today announced that the PSP installment in its Disney crossover action role-playing game series will arrive at North American retailers September 7.
The publisher also revealed that Birth by Sleep will also be available as part of a PSP hardware bundle featuring a "Mystic Silver" version of the Sony handheld. Beyond the game and system, the bundle will include a 4GB memory stick and a movie. Square Enix hasn't specified what the movie will be but did note that it won't be related to the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
The fifth installment in Square Enix's 14-million-unit-selling collaboration with Disney, Birth by Sleep actually serves as a prequel to the events of the 2002 original. The game follows three young keyblade-master novitiates--Terra, Ventus, and Aqua--who must learn to use their weapons to save their world and those linked to it.
The PSP game introduces a number of new locales from the Disney universe, including Sleeping Beauty's Enchanted Dominion, deep space from Lilo & Stich, and the Dwarf Woodlands, as seen in Snow White. Birth by Sleep also includes updates to previously seen worlds, such as Peter Pan's Neverland.
Birth by Sleep will maintain the game's action role-playing mechanics, though Square Enix has updated the game's combat system with a variety of new features. The game will also include four all-new multiplayer modes: Versus, Arena, Command Board, and Rumble Racing. Square Enix will be giving North American gamers a handful of exclusive features as well, such as an extra boss encounter and additional multiplayer options.
For more on Birth by Sleep, check out its appearance toward the end (8:47) of the episode of GameSpot's Import Friendly shown below.

The Legend of Sleeping Bear retells the Ojibwe legend of the Sleeping Bear Dune. The rich words written in verse by Kathy-jo Wargin are brillantly illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen. The story unfolds of the fateful swim across Lake Michigan of the two cubs and mother bear to escape a forest fire in Wisconsin, of mother bear's long wait, to the rising up of the bear cub islands in Sleeping Bear Bay. It is this duo's first legend book and was named the offical Michigan's children story. (Sleeping Bear Press, 1996. hdc $17.95)
Signed first editions are also available at $35 along with signed framed prints of the cover image $75.
One hundred and fifty color photos by Ken Scott and twelve essays by Jerry Dennis make this a spectacular book of Leelanau County. From the details of a frail flower to the vast sand of the shorelines and surrounding hills, this book is a must for every local and visitor as well as it captures the expanses and beauty of this "Land of Delight" like no other. (Petunia Press, 2000. hdc $45 signed copies) We represent Ken Scott Photgraphy and carry his photographs. (See Prints/Posters/Photography tab)
