Willemijn Aerdts
Netherlands Youth Representative and Eveline Herfkens Netherlands Minister For Development Cooperation
on the occasion of the Special Session of the General Assembly on Children
New York,
9 May 2002
As a development minister, I have always said that donors should stop lecturing and start listening to recipient countries. As an adult, I feel we should stop lecturing and instead start listening to our young people. I therefore would like to give the floor first to Willemijn Aerdts, our youth representative.
The fact that I am standing here means that youth participation is taken seriously, but the fact that I am only one of the few youth representatives standing here means that is it not taken seriously enough. We are experts in our own field. We must not only be consulted, but we must involved in the whole decision making process.
Looking at the current state of the outcome document, we, as young people, are really concerned on the issue of reproductive and sexual health. Every year there is a ten percent increase in the HIV infected people. That means 5 infections every second, and half of the newly infected are children.
Roughly ten percent of all births in the world are attributed to adolescents. Every year, 14 million adolescent girls become mothers. 130 million women have been circumcised, with an additional 2 million girls and women undergoing the procedure every year.
Young people themselves already acknowledge these problems and they want to fight them! Now it is time for governments to open their eyes! Governments cannot deny that young people are having sex. Governments committed themselves in Cairo to make reproductive and sexual health services accessible for all children and young people, without discrimination. They must provide honest information, health services, and contraceptives. The subject of sexuality must be discussed in the open, without prejudice. Services and information are a right, not a favour.
Young people themselves must be involved in this process from an early age on: like I said, they are experts in their own field. A good way to spread the information on reproductive health and services is through young people themselves, by peer education.
To conclude, our participation here is only the beginning. Young people are equal partners, and together with adults, parents, NGOs, local authorities and governments they should take action and ... Say Yes for Children!
I say yes for children!
The protection, but also the empowerment of children and adolescents needs our constant attention and our commitment. This Special Session shows the special responsibility the international community feels for an age group that often bears the brunt of human suffering in the present, but that also carries our hopes for the future.
Since the Summit of 1990, great progress has been made. We have formulated crucial commitments in Cairo, Beijing and within the ILO. The Convention on the Rights of the Child has become the most successful human rights treaty in history. Developing partners, including UNICEF and UNFPA, have helped halving child deaths from diarrhoea. More babies are being breastfed. Iodised salt has prevented brain damage with 90 mln newly-borns. Millions of children's lives have been saved because they were immunised in time, and more children than ever are going to school. And at the recent Development Committee, a great boost was given to the Education For All initiative, following the Education For All conference I was privileged to host in Amsterdam.
In addition, we undertook the solemn commitment of the Millennium Development
Goals, the achievement of which would have a major impact on children's
But we have to work to live up to the commitments made. One thing we teach our children is that a deal is a deal. But as far as living up to commitments is concerned, the process of this conference has concerned me. Why did we renegotiate agreements of recent years? Is the UN not the place to build international consensus, instead of building a house of cards that can be destroyed as soon as the spotlights of international attention fade? Why is a deal not a deal here? We risk wasting time and wasting resources. But frankly, we are wasting trust, that vital resource that does not come in ample supply.
The latest figures on the implementation of the Millennium Development
Goals show we are in serious trouble, and we may not reach the goals. We
have no time to lose and no resources to waste. We recommit ourselves to
the agreements of Cairo, Beijing and Monterrey, and we should get back
to work to implement them.
Monterrey forged a partnership for achieving the Millennium Development Goals that can help make Doha the true development round, and it can help make the World Sustainable Development Summit a success. Through mutual undertakings, we will have' to make donor countries live up to the long established 0.7 percent of GDP ODA standard, in accordance with specific timeframes as agreed in Monterrey. No low income country' with a credible poverty reduction strategy should fail because of lack of external funding. Developing countries in turn increasingly put their own house' in order, and take responsibility for the quality of their policies and the functioning of their institutions.
These commitments impact children's lives, and their lives will impact development. So let us not forget the commitments we reaffirmed here as we head to Johannesburg, just as we should not forget Monterrey.
This recently became very clear to me once again, as I met with a group of children in the Netherlands, and explained to them our commitment to the Millennium Development Goals, including most importantly the halving of the number of people living on less than a dollar a day by 2015. A 9 year old girl stood up and asked me: "Why only by 2015?" I had a hard time telling her why.
I want that girl to find out in 2015 that we did live up to the deal and made the Millennium Development Goals happen. For that, we do not need more summits and more commitments. We need action. We need implementation. That implies hard work ... and lots of cash!
You know you can count on us, the Netherlands.

1927: Former Leeds and England manager Don Revie was born. He transformed Leeds from a struggling Second Division side into one of the best teams in Europe
during the late 1960s and early 70s - guiding them to two League Championships,
FA Cup and League Cup glory as well as regular European football, winning the
Fairs Cup in 1968 and 1971. He went on to manage England but quit after three
years in 1977 following poor results. He died from motor neurone disease in May
1943: Arthur Ashe, who became the first black Wimbledon men's champion when he
claimed the title in 1975, was born. The American died in 1993 of an AIDS-related disease.

38 year old man | Arden Hills, MN, USA | Seeking women 24-40 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
Active within 3 days
Small Feet, Unbelievably Large...Heart! ;-)
I'm an active and lively person. I enjoy the new and different challenges life throws at us from day to day. I'm finding that life is really a game less of finding what you want and more of wanting what you've got. What I do have is a heart of gold that I keep neatly tucked away just out of reach, safely up my sleeve. A true believer in living a healthy lifestyle and I'm continually trying to find balance in whatever I do--both at work and play. My workouts are time for me to break away, unwind and spend some time with my thoughts. Music is the greatest single solace I have known for many things: invigoration, relaxation and romance; a song for every mood. I have somehow surrounded myself with fun-loving friends and have been blessed with an incredible family. I'm learning to improve my skills in a couple key interests I have currently: cooking and massage, both of which I'd like to take classes in before too long. I like to get out for an evening on the town for a drink or two occasionally, especially if good food is involved. I also love to sweat it out on the dance floor...not promising that I'll avoid embarrassing myself doing it, but yes I enjoy it! If you can't laugh at yourself, you'd better find somebody to laugh at (or laugh with). I'm hoping to meet a woman who wants to get out and find adventure in whatever situation the day might spring upon us. A young lady who can get dressed up for a night out on the town and fine dining, but who also likes to relax on the couch and snuggle up with a warm drink after a long day out on the lake waterskiing and cruising. I'd really like to come across a woman who gets involved in activities and someone who can appreciate the fact that the time we have for this dating stuff is valuable and limited, so let's make the most of it together. Someone who understands the concept of equal give and take would be fantastic, but let's not let our imaginations run too wild here. There's nothing more attractive than a woman who's motivated, independent and disciplined. A great smile goes a long way too. I'd like to meet my equal or better, both physically and socially. She would be light-hearted and made of the best ingredients: an adventurous spirit, witty humor, sarcasm, compassion and integrity. They say great things grow out of friendship.

I'm a grill out and hit the pool kind of guy. Lately that has been a challenge, so it's been out to Uptown, Downtown or a little Motown in my basement with the drapes pulled for the entertainment.
I probably shouldn't admit I'm addicted to garlic, but it's the Italian in me! I actually do a mean dish of guacamole. I'd really like to learn to speed read sometime. I'm sure you're wishing you could speed read now too after opening this profile!
I'm a slight adrenaline junkie. I really enjoy cliff jumping and rock climbing. On the lighter side I recently took a wine tasting class. That was a bit less risk averse and much more grin inducing.
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein - a true classic and my nephews (li'l guys) love it. I also read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. That was a personal inventory of where I am, where I want to be & how I'm a continual work in progress.

Just looking for a nice guy to share my life with.
Hey! I'm an Az native, looking for my other half. Do you think you are that person? Are you smart? Do you like sitting on a couch watching tv one night and heading out to the bar for some trivia the next? Are you willing to care about my feelings but still be able to stand up to me when necessary? I have a job and am not looking for someone to take care of me financially, but I want someone that can stand on their own as well. I am a huge football fan, specifically the Cardinals. If you are a Steelers fan it probably isn't going to work out (yeah, i'm still bitter!). I actually have season tickets for the Cards, so I need someone that understands that football is a way of life! You don't have to like it, but you have to understand that from August-January my Sundays are booked. It would be nice to have you there with me though. If you think we would have a great time finding out more about each other let me know!

San Francisco 49ers @ Atlanta Falcons, 3:00pm ET, FOX The Falcons just can't seem to get any respect. Despite finishing the regular season 13-3, most people think the Falcons aren't as good as their record indicates. Count me in as one of those people. Teams will eventually figure out Colin Kaepernick and the dynamic weapon that he is for the 49ers offense, but it might be too soon in this case. San Francisco's defense has always been their strength, and when you mix in a high powered offensive attack, that could spell disaster for Atlanta. Pick: 49ers defeat the Falcons, 24-20 Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots, 6:30pm ET, CBS The miracle run of the Baltimore Ravens might end today, as well as the career of Ray Lewis. The Patriots are just an offensive machine, and their defense is even better than when these two teams matched up in last year's AFC Championship game. Pick: Patriots over Ravens, 31-14 (Image via TicketFly.com)

Hey gang, it's your pal Alice or, as you can call me, Part of the Problem. Magic 2015's mini-expansion Garruk's Revenge launched this week and I bought it without thinking, like the compulsive wizard I try desperately not to be. I had known that it added a new mini-campaign and extra cards but didn't really look into it before forking out £3.99. That's me: Part of the Problem.
The joke's on me. Had I been more thoughtful, better informed, I would've noticed I had it anyway. The DLC's free to anyone who had bought virtual packs of cards or the Complete Bundle, see. (Look, I bought one single pack as professional research, all right?) Note that I'm a giant wally.

Here are Razib Khan's impressions on the Summit. Razib blogs for Gene Expression at ScienceBlogs. Razib also remarks that when Matt Springer is criticizing some of Kurzweil's more wild claims, he is actually just criticizing Kurzweil and not most Singularitarians, who are skeptical of Kurzweil's specific vision. This has been a problem before — P.Z. Myers, for instance, has entirely dismissed the concept of the Singularity just based on what he has read of Kurzweil. It's too bad that these people are often too busy to read other presentations or descriptions of the Singularity besides Kurzweil.

BOULDER — History will record that the Tad Boyle era at CU began when this season did, but in fact it began Saturday afternoon before a full house at Coors Events Center that couldn't quite believe what it was seeing.
Not just because of the signature victory over a top-five program. And not just because of the stunning comeback from a 22-point first-half deficit. Not even because sophomore Alec Burks justified a mountain of hype and expectations by putting the Buffs on his back with a dominating 33-point, 10-rebound effort.
No, what happened to Rick Barnes' No. 5-ranked Texas Longhorns was the sort of high-altitude blitzkrieg Boyle wants to make CU's calling card. To keep his players on board with the lung-burning, heart-thumping anaerobic effort it requires, Boyle needed them to see it pay off.
Man, did it ever. The Buffaloes outscored the Longhorns 58-41 in the second half and by an amazing 70-46 from the moment Boyle took his second timeout with 4:39 left in the first half, his team down 43-21.
"The way we play, the tempo we played at, you saw them miss a lot of free throws down the stretch," the first-year CU coach said. "You saw them miss a lot of shots down the stretch. I think there's something to it. The style of play that we're playing is the right thing to do in Boulder, Colorado. And they're not the first team to get gassed in the second half.
"Thank God for the altitude. I believe it. Other coaches don't believe it, but I believe it."
In fact, Boyle could tell the pace was where he wanted it to be from the effect on his own guys, who train at Boulder's 5,430 feet.
"I did look out on the floor a couple times and (Burks) was gassed," he said. "I tried to use the media timeouts. Levi (Knutson) called out one time and I got him out. And then Alec's like, 'Coach, I might need a blow here.' I was like, 'All right, Levi, hurry up and get your oxygen back.' "
This is why Boyle is always talking about Doug Moe. The former Nuggets coach made Denver's mile-high altitude such a factor in the minds of opponents that Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon famously brought bottled oxygen with him to the visitor's bench, psyched out before the game even began. Moe's teams routinely dominated at home, which is Boyle's first goal in resurrecting CU basketball.
"I want to have the best home-court advantage going forward into the Pac-12, and I want our fans to take pride in it," he said. "The only way we're going to do that is if we keep doing what we need to do on the court, and playing the right way and playing with unbelievable energy."
So far, so good. The Buffs are 14-2 at home. A 15th win over Nebraska on senior night next weekend would set a school record and lend credibility to Boyle's high-octane game plans. Nothing persuades like success.
"We just knew we didn't have much time," senior Cory Higgins said. "If we wanted to do what we set out to do this year, we had 20 minutes to turn it around, so I guess you could say our sense of urgency picked up. We even talked about it in the locker room — 'If we want to do things in the postseason, it's going to come down to the second half.' So I felt like we just left it all out there."
That's pretty much Boyle's game plan in a nutshell: Run 'em into the ground. Texas, the Big 12's best rebounding team, was outrebounded by the smallest team in the conference through hustle, effort and pace. The Longhorns wouldn't admit it — in fact, Barnes groused mostly about the refs afterward — but the Buffs wore them out.
Suddenly, seniors such as Higgins and Knutson have a chance to go out with more than a murmur. Wins at Iowa State and at home against Nebraska would give the Buffs 20, often a requirement for a role in March Madness. CU now has a realistic shot at sixth place in the Big 12 — the NCAA Tournament bubble spot.
"It's a marquee win," Boyle said. "K-State's playing awful well down the stretch, and we swept them. Missouri's a good team, and we beat them. We've had some good wins. We've got to continue to win. We have to continue to play well down the stretch. Iowa State on Wednesday is a huge game, but if we can finish strong, they've got to take 68 teams."
It would be a memorable finish to Boyle's first season at the helm. But whether or not it plays out that way, Saturday's upset is now Exhibit A of how the Buffs intend to play.

It's been awhile since I've written a personal post, so I just wanted to let you know what's going on in my world.
Johnny is currently flying somewhere over Russia, on his way to Seoul, South Korea….with a 15 hour layover in the Beijing Airport. Eek! It's been about 3 weeks since I've seen him last, and it'll be another 4 before we see each other again. I'm missing him like crazy.
Today is our 6 year anniversary. It's so wonderful to have someone like him in my life. There's not too many people that would quit their job and travel through Europe with their girlfriend…then move to South Korea for a year. It's great having someone that wants to travel the world, who also agrees we don't need to rush into a marriage and/or kids, who's just a great listener, lover, and friend. I'm a lucky, lucky, lucky, girl.
I don't think we've ever spent this day apart from each other, so it's especially tough. But I know that these next 4 weeks are going to fly by. Especially with all the stuff I have to do.
Things I need to do:
1. Finish my damn TEFL certification. 50% finished!
2. Send in my Visa application (doing this today)
3. Send in my tax Residence certificate
4. Get my hair trimmed
5. Narrow down what to pack (sigh)
6. Buy deodorant, bras, tampons, jeans
7. Learn Hangul
8. Learn about Kpop stars and Korean dramas
9. Spend as much time with my 6 year old niece as possible
Alabama is definitely no Los Angeles or Paris, but it's been nice to have some down time with my family. My dad's cooking is amazing, and I'm always being bombarded with some sort of new recipe or cake or pie. I have lunch dates with my mom. I have a free gym membership because my older sister is an instructor, and my 6 year old niece tells me that she won't be my friend anymore if I don't smell her feet. All in all, things are going great.
Just 4 more weeks and I'll be in South Korea. As I sit here in my PJs and pull my hair out over lesson plans, try to learn about Kpop stars and Korean dramas, and work on my Hangul, I realize I'm incredibly blessed. I can't believe that I'm doing this. Just a year ago, I was a depressed, emotional eating, trainwreck. I just got back from Europe, and now I'm moving to Korea.
As Jay and Kanye say…that shit cray.
30 Comments on 6 Years and 4 Weeks
Where will you be in Korea? I'm living in Incheon. Good luck getting ready and congrats on being in such a great relationship!
Congrats on the 6 years… sorry y'all can't be together, but you will be in 4 weeks and that time will fly by. You will be in Korea before you know it. I may be visiting Korea before heading home… so if I do I will let ya know. Enjoy the down time for now… & also congrats on getting the job in Korea.
Ahhh gutted you and Johnny aren't together today, but it will be so amazing when you are. You must be getting really excited now for South Korea – I can't wait to read the posts on it! x
Sounds like you're a busy lady! Congrats on your 6 years together – you sound so happy 😀 And best of luck with the rest of your TEFL course!
Love it!! Six years is a long time and I think it's amazing all the things that you two have done together (and that's just what I know from the blog!).
Get your TEFL done and get to Korea!
YAY!!! I know you will love it here!! I just moved to S. Korea a little over a week ago and it's awesome ;D I know you will finish everything in time. Don't fret about the hangul . . . it's pretty easy and you'll learn it in less than a couple of days. Plus, if you watch a couple of dramas, you will most likely pick up the basics like the greetings/goodbyes, thank you, I'm sorry, etc. I hope you really enjoy K-pop too! I don't know if you know about Big Bang (very popular K-pop band), but they are coming back with a new album tomorrow! So, you may want to check it out ;D
Congrats on the anniversary, but also working through this time apart. I can't really function when my wife leaves for an overnight trip, much less being apart nearly 2 months! Look forward to keeping up with your adventures in SK
Congrats and keep living the Dream!!
I have a good friend who just wrapped up a year teaching in South Korea and is going for her second year. Here's her blog: http://heartmindnseoul.tumblr.com/
She might have some good advice for ya!
I had no idea this was in the plans for you – congratulations. I have never been to Korea but I'm sure it will be an adventure!
Congrats to you two! Yes, the 4 weeks will fly by.
I hope we hear more about that food (cakes! pies!) you reference
Congratulations on the new journey that is to come!
Oh, hunni, you're going to have the most amazing year. You really will. I know it. Even though you and Johnny are about now, it's in preparation for something truly wonderful.
wow, this is amazing.
i encountered your blog while searching for some traveling information.
since then, i've read your postings from time to time. i've found them very enjoyable and inspring.
now i'm amazed you're coming to korea!
i live in yongin near to seoul.
i'm confident you'll have such a great time here!
welcome to korea!
I am so late on this posting, but have gained a renewed sense of travel. I am working on my fear of flying, but dream of traveling abroad. I am looking to get my TEFL or TOEFL (not sure the difference between these, if any) certification. How do I find a good program that is international? Did you do yours online or face-to-face?

PIERRE, S.D. – The Pierre Lady Governor soccer team put in their first practices today in preperation for the 2014 high school soccer season. This season, Pierre will be part of the South Dakota High School Activities Association sanctioned soccer program in the state. In the past, Pierre competed as a club sport. The Lady Govs first head coach Sydney Zanin, who served the past years as the club sport head coach, says there seems to be more enthsiasm among the girls for the sport than in the past.
The one thing that has not changed between the sanctioned Lady Gov soccer team and the club sport Lady Gov soccer team is the begining of the pre season workouts. Conditioning is still the emphasis according to coach Zanin.
One other change is to the program other than it is now a sanctioned high school sport is the face that the Pierre Indian Learning Center soccer fields will be the home field of the soccer program. In the past, the Hilgers Gulch Fields is where the Govs and Lady Govs played. The change in venue according to coach Zanin is a positive step.
Lady Gov head soccer coach Sydney Zanin. The Lady Govs will open their season a week from Tuesday when they host Mitchell at the PILC soccer fields.

Findings for PPC in Fargo
Fargo Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Fargo was the 183rd least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Fargo also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in North Dakota, ranking as number 1st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 51% Lower in Fargo than Minneapolis
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Fargo are 51% lower than in Minneapolis. The average price of a click in Fargo is $9.60.
This price differential is expected however, as Minneapolis has a larger population than Fargo.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Downey, and found the average price of a click in Fargo was 68% higher than in Downey.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

If you think a comfortable, convenient room in Ia with a caldera view and terrace has to be expensive, think again: Rena Halari's place is affordable and warmly charming. So do consider this place if you're looking for an inexpensive hotel surrounded by similar, expensive ones. Note that back rooms with no view are even cheaper.

My wife and I visited Santorini for our honeymoon and decided to stay at Delfini Villas. The booking process was simple and easy with help from Panos and Ioannis. I had forgotten to let them know we would be arriving at 2pm, but Ioannis graciously showed us to our room which "was not quite ready yet" and wasn't the one we originally booked...insert awesome experience #1, it was an upgrade to the executive suite! We gladly accepted the upgrade and
went for a short walk while the staff finished cleaning the room. The room was near the beginning of the pedestrian walkway and was much quieter than near the Castle. Bakery across the street, grocery store less than 75m away, plenty of restaurants and shops within crawling distance. Perfect location. We returned and checked out the room. Balcony, two seats with a café table, amazing views, and a jacuzzi! Bathroom, clean and tidy with a jacuzzi tub! Bedroom, huge, comfortable King size bed with great reading lights on either side and a flat screen TV on a pullout wall hinge to one side. Closet, large enough to fit all my wife's clothes, my clothes, and my wife herself...we didn't try, but it would've worked! Living area, comfortable sofa and chair with another giant flat screen TV. The room was fantastic. However, our best experiences were with the staff. Ioannis sat us down for the first 15 minutes and explained the island history, the sights, the beaches, the restaurants (his recommendations were spot on!), the excursions, etc... Extremely helpful. Rena brought us our excellent Greek breakfast to our balcony every morning at 9:30am sharp and let us know that if we needed anything else she was close by. Rena also surprised us when she offered to drive us one morning to a local winery where we were going to do a tasting. When we were ready she drove us, dropped us off, politely refused a tip of any kind, and firmly insisted we call her for a ride back to Oia when we finished. Finally, my wife became a little ill from lunch the day before we left and Rena and Ioannis literally nursed my wife for 20 minutes, bringing her tea, extra blankets, water, etc... Rena even helped me pack her suitcase the following morning. Besides the amazing room, beautiful views, and everything else Oia has to offer, I would return to Defini VIllas solely for the people! I can honestly say we had the best hospitality in the world (all-inclusive resorts included). We had an amazing experience on our honeymoon and will certainly return here in the future. Also, I noticed a "con" for Delfini was "stairs". It's Santorini; you're on a cliff; there are going to be stairs EVERYWHERE...

Carlos Gomez leaves them laughing on MLB Network's 'Intentional Talk'
Brewers' centerfielder Carlos Gomez took a turn with Chris Rose and Kevin Millar on an "Intentional Talk" segment on the MLB Network, which aired the interview on Tuesday.
The leadoff hitter talked about the birth of his second child, his home run swing in batting practice, his true feelings about Hank the dog and his inability to grow a mustache. And oh yeah. He dances. Then he raps in Spanish.

Chimney Sweep
What does a Chimney Sweep do?
Chimney sweeps clean the chimneys of open fires, and the flues for other heating systems and cooking appliances, to reduce the risks of chimney fires and the emission of dangerous fumes. They may also have technical expertise in the safe operation and maintenance of chimneys, appliances and the installation of flue systems, stainless steel flexible liners and flue terminations.
To clean a chimney, the chimney sweep inserts a suitable brush and pushes it through the length of the chimney using extendible rods, until all soot and debris is removed. They then use an industrial vacuum cleaner to remove soot and debris from the chimney base/fireplace, opening or heating appliance. Some jobs may also involve going up onto the roof. Chimney sweeps bring all their own equipment to a job.
After completing a job, chimney sweeps who are members of the National Association of Chimney Sweeps issue a certificate of chimney sweeping. They will also advise the property owner about any potential hazards and faults.
What's the working environment like working as a Chimney Sweep?Self-employed chimney sweeps usually operate from an office base at home. Working hours are normally between 8.30am to 5.30pm, five days a week, with some Saturday working. Extended hours may be required during busy periods, which are usually Autumn and Spring. Most work is in the domestic sector in private houses.
Although modern equipment has improved working conditions, this can still be a dusty/dirty job. Chimney sweeps must wear protective clothing including overalls and face-masks. The work involves much standing, kneeling and bending, and some lifting.
What does it take to become a Chimney Sweep?As a chimney sweep you should:
- be physically fit with plenty of energy and stamina
- be able to work on your own initiative without supervision
- have practical skills to use a range of appropriate hand tools and equipment
- be able to work at heights and climb ladders when required
- be conscious of health and safety and careful to keep to regulations at all times
- be able to maintain friendly relationships with customers.
- be well organised to plan your own work schedule, and self-disciplined to keep to it
- be able to do paperwork / keep accounts (unless you find someone to do this for you)
- be able to cost jobs, negotiate prices and persuade customers to pay on time.

2006 CFN Preseason First Team All-Americans
Jarrett, Jr. USC
- 91 catches, 1,274 yds, 14 ypc, 16 TD
This is assuming he's eligible after getting into trouble with
the NCAA for not paying enough rent for his off-campus apartment
with Matt Leinart last year. Jarrett spent his freshman season
being compared to Mike Williams, and then had scouts thinking
he's even better than the current Detroit Lion after a brilliant
sophomore season showing off hands, the ability to make the
acrobatic grab, and consistency. He had the full trust of
Leinart to be the go-to, crunch time receiver coming through
with big play after big play leading the team with 31 more
catches than the number two receiver, Steve Smith. He has caught
passes for 75 yards or more in 15 of the 26 games he has played
in with a whopping 29 touchdowns in two years.
Rice, Soph. South Carolina - 70 catches, 1,143 yds, 16.3 ypc,
The 6-3, 200-pound sophomore still needs some polish, but he's
still one of the nation's top receivers and a top-flight pro
prospect. He missed the opener with a broken finger, and then
blew up as the team's main weapon with five 100-yard games in
his final six highlighted by a brilliant 12-catch, 191-yard, one
touchdown performance in the Independence Bowl loss to Missouri.
The only question is his durability suffering a knee injury in
2004, the broken finger last year, and a thumb injury this
season that kept him out of spring ball.
2006 CFN Preseason Second Team All-Americans
Jason Hill, Sr. Washington State - 62 catches, 1,097 yds, 17.7 ypc,
In one of the biggest surprises in college football this off-season,
Hill decided to return for his senior season when he could've been a
first day draft pick. He's has the size at 6-2 and 208 pounds and the
deep speed to be this year's star you need to watch. Not just flashy,
he's consistent and clutch. Of course, his big performances are what get
him noticed with a 240-yard, three touchdown day against Cal and a
190-yard, one score performance against Oregon State. He has only gone
six games over the last two seasons without a touchdown.
Calvin Johnson, Jr., Georgia Tech - 54 catches, 888
yds, 16.4 ypc, 6 TD
While his numbers slipped after a record-setting freshman season, the
6-4, 235-pound Johnson became a more complete receiver and stopped
relying solely on his ridiculous talents to get by. He figured out how
to be more physical and use his strength and size more to his advantage
and showed better route running ability. Now he has to be an even more
polished route runner and do a better job of being open despite being
the focus of every defensive gameplan. If he's the be-all-end-all pro
prospect he's supposed to be, he has be a 7-10 catch per game receiver
no matter what.
2006 CFN Honorable Mention All-Americans
(in alphabetical order)
Davone Bess, Soph. Hawaii - 89 catches, 1,124 yds, 12.6 ypc, 14 TD
UH head coach June Jones has gone as far as to call Bess the best
receiver he has ever coached. Remember, Jones coached in the NFL. Bess
spent his senior year in high school as a quarterback, sat out the 2004
season, and then ripped it up as a true freshman with seven 100-yard
games highlighted by a two game stretch against Fresno State and Nevada
when he caught 26 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns. He's as tough
as they come with phenomenal hands and great concentration around the
goal line.
Dorien Bryant, Jr. Purdue - 80 catches, 960 yds, 12
ypc, 4 TD
While there have been some tremendously productive receivers in the Joe
Tiller era, Bryant was the most heralded recruit and arguably has the
most talent. He had a better season than he got credit for considering
the shaky play of the quarterbacks, and there wasn't a more dominant
receiver in America over a three game stretch when Bryant caught 40
passes for 421 yards and three touchdowns against Notre Dame, Iowa and
Northwestern. His production tailed off once Curtis Painter took over,
but he was still a producer. While he's not huge, he's too quick to
cover one on one.
Jarrett Hicks, Sr., Texas Tech -
65 catches, 1,048 yds, 13.1 ypc, 10 TD
Hicks has been one of the nation's top producing receivers over the last
two seasons with moments of explosion and unstoppable stretches. He's
great at finding his way in the end zone with 173 career grabs for 2,525
yards and 28 touchdowns. At 6-3 and 208 pounds, he's too physical for
most defensive backs. At the X position, he has enough speed to be a
solid deep threat.
Ted Ginn,
Jr. Ohio State - 51 catches, 803 yds, 15.7 ypc, 4 TD, 12 carries, 83
yds, 6.9 ypc, 1 TD
What was wrong with Ted Ginn? That was the cry early last year when one
of college football's top all-around players failed to make any top
all-around plays. As it turned out, he just needed a little time to
breakout, and then he showed off his skills with some big punt returns
while growing into a dangerous receiver finishing with an eight-catch,
167-yard, one touchdown day against Notre Dame. The light has appeared
to go on and he should be the All-America, number one target he was
expected to blossom into last season.
Jeff Samardzija, Sr. Notre Dame - 77 catches, 1,249 yds, 16.2 ypc,
A decent target over his first two seasons, Samardzija exploded into an
All-American leading the Irish in receiving as Brady Quinn's top target.
He was unstoppable up until the Fiesta Bowl with six 100-yard days and
touchdown catches in every game but two: the loss to Ohio State and the
win over Navy. The 6-5, 220-pound senior has grown into a first round
pro prospect with great speed to go along with reliable hands. Drafted
by the Chicago Cubs, he'll also look into trying to become a two-sport
athlete at the next level.
Steve Smith, Sr. USC - 60 catches, 957 yds, 15.9 ypc, 5 TD
Smith could've gone pro this year but returned to join Dwayne Jarrett to
form the nation's best 1-2 receiving tandem. He showed no problems from
the broken leg that knocked him out in 2004 with the same speed and
quickness he had before the injury. A decent sized target at 6-0 and 195
pounds, he also has some of the best wheels on the team.

I can't help but feel if the MLB playoffs were cut down to best of 3 for each series, keeping it more quick and fast paced, they would draw a bigger crowd for when the World Series airs on tv.
I can't help but feel if the MLB playoffs were cut down to best of 3 for each series, keeping it more quick and fast paced, they would draw a bigger crowd for when the World Series airs on tv.
Ideally they would be more concerned with creating a format that determines which team deserves to advance rather than worrying about TV ratings.
I think it would but I also who hate it. Would seem dumb to play 162 games they have best of 3.
I think the wild card round did really well this year, fwiw.
I think the avid baseball crazy fan would rather keep things as they are with 1-5-7-7.
I like it the way it is now. They are now rewarding division winners, and the do or die round for wild card winners is exciting. I wouldn't change it.
To be blunt, baseball isn't football. The game develops more slowly. So much depends on a small events, small confrontations, that don't skew as consistently in favor of talent as they do in football. A confrontation between two aces will frequently be decided by some off-the-wall occurrence. Baseball is a game decided in the tiny margins.
As such, talent is much more likely to win out given a larger number of games.
This reminds me of the One Day cricket matches that were held when I lived in Sydney. Purists hated the idea, which was to take a game in which the leisurely pace was part of its very character and make it more of a flash-bang event. They said that doing this damaged what was worthwhile about the game. I think trying to make baseball a fast, low attention span even will do the same. Let baseball be baseball.
If you have a best of three playoffs then you might just as well have a home run derby between the two teams. It would amount to the same effect.
I absolutely detest seeing a world series champion who couldn't even manage to win their own division. That's not a champion in my book, that's just the last man standing.
I hate this idea. I think the wild card has already rendered the regular season much less important than it should be. Three-game series would make the whole darned thing a crap shoot even more than it already is.
The regular season is a grind in which roster depth, especially starting pitching depth comes into play. I would like to see the playoff format reward the same team structures that got the participants there, e.g., no leaving the fifth starter off the playoff roster in order to add an additional bat. For me that would be 1-7-7-7 with no days off except between series. Number 5 starters would likely come into play. At times teams are able to play successive days on opposite coasts during the regular season by scheduling a night game after a day game. Why not during the playoffs?
While I also love the good ole days and the balanced, 24 team divisional playoffs format, given what we have, the Wild Card makes sense and has always yielded a good team. It overcomes the weakness of divisional format where a weak division makes the champion of the division a dubious distinction.
For my money, it would be more fair if you get rid of divisions and take the top 5 to get your playoff field from each league. A lot of inequity is created by the divisions. The division setup can be random and you end up with 82 win teams making the playoffs simply because they're the best of the worst in that division.
I love the first wild card. Hate the second. The '12 braves were a playoff team, as are almost all the first wildcard teams. 8 was enough, it made making the playoffs a difficultly obtained goal as opposed to the NBA, NHL, and to a lesser degree the NFL.

Question from akromachan
What is the fastest way in killing G-rank Diablos/Black Diablos?
I'm currently farming them to create King Atillart and Chaotic Order so I wanna know how to kill them really fast while still able to break the horns.
I'm only attacking the tail after I break the horns but it still takes me 35 mins just to kill one. Can anyone give me tips on how to kill them real fast?
I'm currently using these 2 Sets:
Decider (1296 raw, white sharpness)
Full Rathalos X
Skills: Attack Up Large, Art of Unsheathing, Sharpness +1
Juggernaut (1404 Raw, White Sharpness)
Khezu Z Helm
Akantor Mail
Rathalos Soul Z Vambraces
Akantor Tasset
Rathalos Soul Z Greaves
Skills: HGE, RA+2 and Sharpness +1
6 years ago
Switch your hammer into Daora's Hyperborea, use complete Rathalos soul Z Armour set. If you want it to do real quick, then take a buddy with you who can put Diablos in sleep easily. And you must take another of great Daora's Tughrill Beg(GS) and use lvl 3 charge attack in his tail. It should take less then 10 mins.

Twitter for Android updated, includes new photo abilities
Twitter for Android has been updated, with some new additions to the mobile app that help improve and streamline the photo sharing experience. If you're uploading photos from the official Twitter app, you'll now have some new options.
These options include applying pre-defined square or wide crops, as well as a little rotation magic. If you want to upload a picture of people, it will provide you with a reminder to mention your friends in the tweet that will go along with the photo. Twitter is also boosting the amount of recommendations that popup in your timeline.
The latest Twitter app will have you pull-to-refresh your feed as usual, but when there's no new tweets to display, it will pull down a panel showing more recommendations. These will include things like suggested people to follow, trending topics, and specific tweets.
CJ's back on the block in GTA San Andreas for Windows Phone
Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest franchises in gaming history, and it's latest installment is the most expensive video game ever made. Now GTA fans have even more reason to get excited... if you happen to own a Windows Phone that is. Today Rockstar Games announced that it has released GTA: San Andreas onto the Windows Phone platform.
While San Andreas has been available on Android and iOS for about a month now, Windows Phone users are getting their copy of the game today. GTA: San Andreas on the mobile platform has surprisingly been a huge success with no real major issues popping up, something you would expect from such a drastic platform port. Compatible Windows Phone devices include Lumia 1520, 1320, 822, 820, 810,and HTC's 8XT, with no mention of other Windows Phone devices such as the Lumia 920, or Samsung's entry into the Windows Phone realm, the Ativ S.
Aviary hits major milestone, 10 billion photos edited
If WhatsApp is king of app-based text messaging, then Aviary rules the photograph editing app world. Today the company announced that it has hit a massive milestone in the success of its company. Aviary announced that its app for Android and iOS has been used to edit over 10 billion photos since its launch.
The company says that its success is largely due to the fact that its SDK is so popular with developers who have added the apps editing tools to their own apps and websites. Aviary has been integrated with more than 7,000 partner apps, with big names such as Pic Stitch, Tango, and even SquareSpace using features from the software. Aviary says that it now has over 70 million active monthly users and that it expects growth to continue in 2014.
In a statement the company said:
As we look forward, what most exciting is the fact that a new visual lingua franca has emerged. Unquestionably, photos have become the communication language of the global mobile generation. We are long past the point when photo editing was just about turning an average picture into a good one. Photo editing is now about enhancing visual communication between billions of people across the planet, in a way that embodies the full richness of emotions, feelings and inspiration.
LogMeIn ends free accounts, now charging $20 per PC per year
Bad news for anyone reading this who has taken advantage of LogMeIn's free remote access service over the last few years as today the company announced that free accounts are no longer being offered. For users who bought LogMeIn Ignition for iOS or Android, the company will offer discounts and a "gentle" transition to the subscription service.
Users have about a week to decide if they will buy into the new $20 per PC per year subscription model, or if they will jump ship and move to a competitor. LogMeIn Centeral, Cubby, and Join.Me are unaffected at this time, but there is no word on whether or not that will change in the future.
Beats Music finally launches to US consumers, only on iOS though
For over a year now we have been hearing rumors and seeing leaks surface around a secret music streaming service being built by Beats Audio. The service was given the code name Daisy, and at one point, it appears that it would never make it to launch, but this morning Beats Music launched on the Apple App Store.
Beats Music offers mobile music streaming of more than 20 million tracks for just $10 per month, and its MadLib-style music suggestion feature is actually pretty innovative. Users can create playlist, share them on social media, and rate their suggested songs to improve what music is selected next time. The launch of Beats Music signifies the end of MOG, the long running streaming service owned by Beats parent company. Subscribers will see their billing arrangements terminated on March 15th and annual subscribers will receive a prorated refund.
Kim Dotcom unveils Baboom, his new music streaming service
The man who seems to have his hand in everything, Kim Dotcom, has just debuted his new music streaming service known as Baboom, and the first album to hit the service is Dotcom's own album titled Good Times. Baboom is quite interesting in the fact that it plans to directly compete with Spotify and Google Play Music, but will be operating on a "pay what you want" business model.
I see Baboom as more of a streaming version of SoundCloud or MySpace, and will allow indie artist to really break out of the years old model of social networking for artist. Baboom does however encourage listeners to purchase albums through Amazon, iTunes, and Bandcamp and as far as I can tell, artist receive no compensation from Baboom itself.
WhatsApp sees 50 billion messages per day, more than all SMS combined
During the DLD conference in Germany, WhatsApp CEO, Jan Koum, shared some exciting news with attendees about the messaging app's usage numbers. WhatsApp now has more than 430 million monthly active users, which makes it the worlds largest messaging app by leaps and bounds.
More importantly though are the number of messages sent every day on the service. More than 36 billion outbound messages are sent in a day while 18 billion inbound messages are received each day. That equates to 50 billion text messages sent over WhatsApp each and every day. To put that into perspective, that is more messages sent each day than all SMS messages on every carrier world wide in a 24 hour period.
With many of the largest mobile carriers still charging fees for a set amount of text messages every month, WhatsApp is now the biggest competition in the SMS realm for every wireless carrier in the world. Most of my friends as well as almost everyone I know uses WhatsApp on a daily basis, and many who use it as their sole text messaging platform. With growth like this, I feel that there is no stopping WhatsApp and if the company can released a PC version as well, the sky is the limit on how far WhatsApp will go!
Adobe looking to bring Lightroom to iPad on $99 annual contract
Adobe's Lightroom is a must have in almost every photography enthusiast arsenal of post processing software, and for those who own an iPad, things are about to get even better! According to 9to5Mac, Adobe is preparing to launch a mobile version of the app that will be compatible with Apple's iPad.
9to5Mac says that Lightroom for the iPad will feature a syncing feature that will let it fully utilize file sharing between Mac and PC devices via Adobe Creative Cloud, which will remove the need to store huge RAW files directly on the iPad. Users will have full editing functionality right on their iPad and when finished, can easily sync the photo back into their cloud. The article states that Adobe Lightroom for iPad will require users to enter into an annual contract costing $99 per year.
Skype for iPhone updated to add HD video calls and more
Microsoft has just updated its Skype for iOS app to include new two-way HD video calling to its users. This new feature brings Skype up to date with its competitors such as Google Hangouts and Apple's Facetime. The update also includes a new lockscreen chat notification feature that lets you preview chat messages the same way text messages appear on the lock screen.
Skype says that chat messages will now sync faster across all devices, and that other minor bug improvements have been made. This update follows a previous one in which the app got a complete makeover to more closely align with the new iOS 7 theme. Users can update or download their app from iTunes from the source link below.
Google Now making its way to Chrome for Desktop and Mac
Google Now is one of the most innovative applications for Android ever published, and today that innovation has made its way to the desktop for both PC and Mac by way of the latest alpha release of Google Chrome. Google Now has been integrated into Google Chromes notification center, something we have been expecting to happen since mid 2013.
Google Now for the the desktop is not exactly identical to its mobile counterpart, and some cards are missing at the moment such as the Stock Market Information card. Additionally, the feature is not enabled by default and users must tick off a flag to enable Google Now. Users who wish to take the desktop version of the app for a spin will need to download the Alpha version of Chrome Canary from the source link below.
