Firm wins award
'P&G Nigeria was recognised for the company's corporate and brand CSR programme under the 'Live, Learn and Thrive' platform, to improve local communities' water supply through education and purification technology; provision for a safe and healthy working environment...'
Procter & Gamble (P&G)'s efforts in realising its purpose of touching and improving the lives of Nigerian consumers was recognised last Friday by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who presented P&G Nigeria with the prestigious U.S. Secretary of State Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE) for 2011. Bob McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer of Procter & Gamble Company received the award at a ceremony held in Washington D.C. on January 18, 2012.
P&G received one of two awards at the ceremony. One presented to a multinational, and the other presented to 'small to medium-sized enterprises' (SME's).
In her opening statement at the ceremony, the US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, said, "We are honouring these two companies because they have had an exceptional impact in giving back to the communities where they do business. They are setting the highest standards for corporate social responsibility. They are showing the world that it is indeed possible to do well by doing good".
P&G was nominated by the US Embassy in Nigeria as well as Pakistan for this award and was shortlisted in November 2011 amongst 11 companies globally. P&G is the first company to win for programmes in two countries i.e. Nigeria and Pakistan.
According to US State Department, P&G Nigeria was recognised for the company's corporate and brand CSR programme under the 'Live, Learn and Thrive' platform, to improve local communities' water supply through education and purification technology; provision for a safe and healthy working environment; supporting the health and well-being of new and expectant mothers and children through mobile clinics; and innovative educational programmes for teenage girls.
Bob McDonald said: "P&G's purpose as a company is to touch and improve lives, now and for generations to come. Our Purpose guides and inspires everything we do. For 175 years our Purpose has focused us on finding ways to make people's everyday lives a little better. We improve lives with our brands, with our business growth, with our employee programs and with our social responsibility efforts. When we improve lives, we grow our business and by growing our business we are able to improve even more lives. It is a virtuous cycle and entirely congruent."
The Managing Director for P&G West Africa, Manoj Kumar, who joined the ceremony virtually from the US Consulate in Lagos, said "P&G Nigeria is honored and humbled by this award that is focused on improving lives," adding that "this is the core of our purpose as a company and we are very fortunate to work with strong partners who share this vision – our distributors, agencies, suppliers and non-profit organizations such as Sponsor a Child, Society for Family Health and Adolescent Health and Information Projects (AHIP). Together, these organizations have implemented and are indeed still delivering truly excellent work that brings our purpose to life everyday in Nigeria."
Since its establishment in Nigeria in 1992, P&G has invested millions of dollars in fixed capital including a Plant in Ibadan, Oyo State where its products Pampers diapers, Ariel detergent, Always sanitary pads, Vicks throat drops and Bonux Detergent are manufactured. Making up over 85% of P&G products sold in Nigeria, these brands have grown to become leading household names in Nigeria.
P&G employs about 3000 people directly and indirectly with Nigerians making up over 95% of its managers locally and some on international assignments. The company has created over 200 new successful entrepreneurs with sustained training and marketing support in rural and semi-urban areas over the past five years. P&G is expanding across West Africa with Nigeria as its central business hub the entire region.
P&G's social responsibility programme called Live, Learn and Thrive (LLT) focuses on the development of children of ages 0-13. With its 'Always Care programme' Procter and Gamble provides feminine hygiene and puberty education to over 700,000 Nigerian girls every year. The company's Pampers Baby Care Hospital Program and Mobile Clinics, touch the lives of 1.5 million young Nigerian mothers and their babies annually. 'Building Futures' program, a collaboration between P&G and non-profit organisation 'Sponsor a Child' donates P&G products; Pampers diapers, Ariel detergent and PUR purifier of water purifier as well as providing learning facilities to orphanages across Nigeria. Procter and Gamble collaborates with non-profit organization, Society for Family Health on the 'Safe Water for Nigerian Children' programme, which has provided millions of litres of safe drinking water in Nigeria and the company's Pampers/UNICEF program has provided over 7.5 million tetanus vaccines to mothers and their babies in Nigeria.
P&G has gained significant recognition in Nigeria. Over the past year, the company won the prestigious SERA award for Best Company in Child-Focused CSR 2011, Best Company in Corporate Social Responsibility 2011 awarded by Institute of Brand Management of Nigeria and the Conglomerate Employer of Choice 2011 award by Multi-Talent Heritage.

Review By Steve Angelly - September 28, 2005Edited by Jonathan Martini
3DMark 2003
The Intel test system with the single card 7800GTX took a beating when comparing the 6800 GT SLI scores. Overall score, the SLI setup scored 19,189 to the 7800GTX's 15,976 in the benchmark's default settings. The 7800GTX's score improved compared to SLI when the resolution was cranked up to 1600x1200 but succumbed once again to the SLI setup when 4xAA/16xAF was applied.
3DMark 2005
Vertex Shader (VS) and Pixel Shader (PS) were set at 3.0 in the benchmark.
Almost a remake of the 3DMark'03 scoring spread. Still both video card configurations played fairly smooth except for some stuttering (slow downs) in FireFly Forest game test.
Aquamark 3
To further test the graphic capabilities of the card configurations upon the P4N Diamond motherboard Aquamark3 was used to compare performance as well as test the stability of the board. The default test of 1024x768, 4xAF, was used to set the baseline score. The benchmark detail settings were all set at very high. The following table lists selected tests results from the benchmark showing the performance attributes of both a high-end single card and SLI configuration in this demanding benchmark.
AquaMark3 TRISCORE recorded 74.53 frames per second for the 7800GTX at default benchmark settings of 1024x768, 4xAF, while the 6800 GTs in SLI scored a 'too close to call' 74.29. The SLI cards held up and scored near identical scores at all resolutions and settings. When AA and AF was added both card configurations took a 15% and 16% hit with the SLI setup having the very slim advantage.
Teamed up with the P4N Diamond, both card configurations ran very smooth through all tests with no noticeable slowdowns. Neither card configuration had an advantage at default clock settings in this benchmark.

Timo Saloniemi
What massive publicity? You mean the diplomatic scandal over a Federation superweapon, which surely would have led to the cessation of all future development on the project?
No one came out of the Genesis incident looking good - the Federation were secretly developing this scary planet-roasting nuke, and the Klingons were sending scouts into the Federation to steal secrets, blow up civilian and Starfleet ships, and murder innocent people.
With potentially only one scientist alive with the knowledge to continue Genesis - which was apparently a failure, given the planet tore itself apart within weeks - it seems like a dead end which was not pursued further. The political pressure to sweep it under the carpet would have been too strong anyhow.
Besides, the stated aims of Genesis - overcoming food supply and overpopulation - seem to have been solved by the 24th century, with replicators and faster warp drives opening up a much larger Federation with newly discovered habitable planets.

We hear a lot about the menstrual "cycle," which can make it sound as though it happens like clockwork. And we say that a woman who gets her period every 4 weeks is "regular," as though there's something abnormal about women who don't. In fact, most women don't get their periods in exactly the same number of days after the last one.
Most girls get their first period between the ages of 10 and 15, but some get it earlier and some later. The first period is known as menarche (pronounced: MEH-nar-kee).
Doctors often talk about a girl's monthly cycle — the number of days from the start of her period to the start of the next one — in terms of a 28-day cycle. But 28 is just an average figure that doctors use. Women's cycle lengths vary — some have a 24-day cycle, some have a 34-day cycle. And a girl may notice that her cycles are different lengths each month — especially for the few years after she first starts getting her period.
The first day a girl's period comes is Day 1 of her cycle. Early in her cycle, her pituitary gland tells her ovaries to start preparing one of the eggs they contain for release. One egg will mature completely. At the same time, the lining of the uterus becomes thick to prepare a nesting place for a fertilized egg in the event that the girl becomes pregnant.
On or about Day 14 of a 28-day cycle, the egg breaks loose (this is called ovulation). The egg makes its way through the fallopian tube into the uterus. If the egg isn't fertilized by sperm, it starts to fall apart. About 2 weeks later, the lining and egg leave a girl's body as her period and the whole thing starts all over again — that's why we use the word "cycle."
All this sounds very neat and orderly. But a girl's body may not follow this schedule exactly. It's not unusual, especially in the first 2 years after menarche, to skip periods or to have an irregular menstrual cycle. Illness, rapid weight change, or stress can also make things more unpredictable because the part of the brain that regulates periods is influenced by events like these.
Some girls' periods arrive like clockwork. Others get theirs at slightly different times each month. Many girls get regular periods most of the time, but occasionally skip a period or get an extra period during times of pressure or stress. In fact, you may notice that when you go on a trip or have a major change in your schedule your period is late. All of this is perfectly normal.
It's also normal for the number of days a girl has her period to vary. Sometimes a girl may bleed for 2 days, sometimes it may last a week. That's because the level of hormones the body manufactures can be different from one cycle to the next, and this affects the amount and length of bleeding.
So how can you tell when you're about to get your period? If your cycle is not regular, you'll want to pay attention to the clues your body may give you. These may include:
Most of the time, irregular periods are part of the normal changes that can happen when you're a teen. At some point as you get older, your cycle will probably settle into a recognizable pattern. This usually happens by 3 years after your first period.
However, some teens may develop irregular periods — or stop having periods altogether — as a result of certain medications, excessive exercise, very low body weight, or not eating enough calories. Others may develop problems as a result of a hormone imbalance. For example, disorders of the thyroid gland can cause menstrual irregularities if the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood become too low or too high.
Some women have irregular periods because their bodies produce too much androgen, which is a hormone that causes increased muscle mass, facial hair, and deepening of the voice in males and the development of pubic hair and increased height in girls. High amounts of androgen can also cause hair growth on the face, chin, chest, and abdomen, and is sometimes associated with excessive weight gain.
If you have any of these problems, or if your periods are irregular for 3 years or more, see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe hormone pills or other medications or recommend lifestyle changes that can help you to have regular periods.
It's important to see a doctor if you're sexually active and have missed a period. This could be a sign of pregnancy. You should also see your doctor if you start having periods that last longer than 7 days, are heavy, are occurring more often than every 21 days or less often than every 45 days, or are accompanied by severe cramping or abdominal pain. Also let the doctor know if you have bleeding in between your periods.
In the meantime, if your periods are irregular, try keeping some pads or tampons in your backpack, just so you'll have them handy in case your period comes when you're not expecting it.

The experts had this matchup open up as a double digit victory for the Patriots and all of sudden it is coming down a bit and there should be no reason why Baltimore cannot give this squad all they can handle. The Ravens had them beat fair and square last season in the AFC Championship, but Lee Evans was one of the sickest men on the planet to drop that wide open pass in the end zone. Everybody should know the rest as Billy Cundiff then missed a an easy, chip shot free kick. The Pats and Ravens have met nine times in the franchises histories, with New England winning seven of them. This will be the third meeting in the playoffs going back to just 2010, which was when Baltimore put down a beatdown on Wild Card Weekend. New England made up for it last year by winning a game they really did not have a ton of business winning. Joe Flacco has played tremendous as he has shockingly played magnificent in his last four postseason games going back to last year. While his 13-8 TD/INT ratio in...

"Nobody knows better than Bruce Sterling how thin the membrane between science fiction and real life has become, a state he correctly depicts as both thrilling and terrifying in this frisky, literate, clear-eyed sketch of the next half-century. Like all of the most interesting futurists, Sterling isn't just talking about machines and biochemistry: what he really cares about are the interstices of technology with culture and human history." -Kurt Andersen, author of Turn of the CenturyVisionary author Bruce Sterling views the future like no other writer. In his first nonfiction book since his classic The Hacker Crackdown, Sterling describes the world our children might be living in over the next fifty years and what to expect next in culture, geopolitics, and business.Time calls Bruce Sterling "one of America's best-known science fiction writers and perhaps the sharpest observer of our media-choked culture working today in any genre." Tomorrow Now is, as Sterling wryly describes it, "an ambitious, sprawling effort in thundering futurist punditry, in the pulsing vein of the futurists I've read and admired over the years: H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, and Alvin Toffler; Lewis Mumford, Reyner Banham, Peter Drucker, and Michael Dertouzos. This book asks the future two questions: What does it mean? and How does it feel? "Taking a cue from one of William Shakespeare's greatest soliloquies, Sterling devotes one chapter to each of the seven stages of humanity: birth, school, love, war, politics, business, and old age. As our children progress through Sterling's Shakespearean life cycle, they will encounter new products; new weapons; new crimes; new moral conundrums, such as cloning and genetic alteration; and new political movements, which will augur the way wars of the future will be fought. Here are some of the author's predictions:• Human clone babies will grow into the bitterest and surliest adolescents ever.• Microbes will be more important than the family farm.• Consumer items will look more and more like cuddly, squeezable pets.• Tomorrow's kids will learn more from randomly clicking the Internet than they ever will from their textbooks.• Enemy governments will be nice to you and will badly want your tourist money, but global outlaws will scheme to kill you, loudly and publicly, on their Jihad TVs.• The future of politics is blandness punctuated with insanity. The future of activism belongs to a sophisticated, urbane global network that can make money—the Disney World version of Al Qaeda.Tomorrow Now will change the way you think about the future and our place in it.From the Hardcover edition.
Bruce Sterling is the author of ten novels, three of which were selected as New York Times Notable Books of the Year. The Difference Engine, co-written with William Gibson, was a national bestseller. He has also published four short-story collections… More about Bruce Sterling

Gear Question
Jared Remington
Looks like I'm in no man's land on the...
Looks like I'm in no man's land on the sizing chart... inbetween a medium and large. I'm just over 6 feet and 174 pounds. Longer but skinnier legs. Any advice between the two sizes? Thanks.
if you want the stabilizing knee straps to work, go with the smaller size. it will provide more support.
OLEG- CW-X Rep
Did you make the purchase yet? If not, you can definitely go with either size. I am 5'11 and 165 and I wear a medium. I have slightly skinnier legs and if I went to a large the tights just feel slightly looser. However if you had big quads, hamstrings, calves, etc you would be best served with a large. Good luck

What does Haye even have to do with this? Haye has a completely different style than Louis, so the comparison is moot. Haye is an outside fighter, uses his legs for defense, has good upper body movement. Louis is a plodder with fast hands, who throws short, hard punches. I don't see Louis closing the gap without getting his head knocked off. Also, Louis' power is somewhat overrated because of the small gloves he fought in. As for "killer instinct," I don't put much stock in this. Louis can come into the ring with all the "killer instinct" in the world and one right hand or left hook from Vlad will change his life.

text: So you want to contribute to the American Military's Most-Trusted News Source, huh? Here's what you need to know. Duffel Blog delivers hilarious satirical content every day, so we are stringent in keeping the pool of writers among the very best. Our best writers have military backgrounds, a great sense of humor, can write above a third-grade level, respond positively to editorial critiques of their work and can consistently deliver great articles (at least three articles per month would be ideal, but it's not a strict requirement). If that describes you, send our Editor-in-Chief Paul Szoldra an email with the following information to be considered (Please, no attachments): Your Name (We grant anonymity to posters of the site, but we do want to know who you are). Desired username to login Rank and Branch of Service (or what your final rank was if you're a veteran) Tell us what your favorite Duffel Blog article is and why At least 15 headline pitches (Just a headline with no explanation. If you need to explain a headline, it's not a good headline.) At least one writing sample. This would include your headline (not among the fifteen others) and a properly formatted article. The most important part here is your article, so make sure that it is hilarious (it helps to have someone other than yourself read it first), is in Duffel Blog's style of news writing, and is under 500 words. Please note that all six of these bullets are required, and failure to follow these simple guidelines will get your email deleted very quickly. Once we receive your email, we'll look it over and decide if we'd like to have you on the team. If you make the cut, you'll hear back from Paul on the next steps. We get quite a few submissions, so please know that it may take anywhere from weeks, to possibly months, for a response. Duffel Blog contributors are paid a flat rate for each article published. Their articles have the potential to reach thousands — and sometimes millions — of readers, in addition to skewering the national security space in a way that gets our readership thinking and hopefully, affects change. Our readership runs the gamut of the military community, from four-star generals to fresh-out-of-boot camp privates.

Steve Ford: Every month, literally, is a good month for fishing for Everett Turley and friends
Retirement takes on many forms.
Some folks walk away from work, go home and vow never to hit another lick at anything. Unfortunately, they don't tend to last too long.
Others never quit working at something and they tend to last, which brings me to one of my favorite people, Everett Turley.
When I stopped by the family business, Turley Jewelers, on Friday , Everett was there working away at his craft, which is watch repair. He's 93.
But we don't talk about watches. We talk about fishing when he looks up long enough to notice I'm there.
"Have you caught your January fish yet, Turley?" I ask him.
"Yes," he said with a sly smile. "I got that out of the way on January 1st. Caught a 12-inch bass on a black worm."
"So how many years is that now, Turley?"
"Four or five," he ansered. "I kind of lost track. I just know it's still going."
Then his son, Bryan, interjected: "It's five, pop. I know it's five."
Satisfied with the answer and himself, the old watchmaker turned back to his meticulous work while I pondered his simple, continuing quest.
His goal is to catch a fish every month of every year, which he has done now for more than five years. But it wasn't Turley's idea.
That came from a customer, Bernie Fehribach, who retired from teaching at North Posey High School in 2002 and still lives in Poseyville.
"I retired in May of '0-2 and as far as I know I kept the string intact every month since then," said Fehribach, 69. "It's nothing special, just something for an old retired guy to do."
Fehribach takes his membership in the Fish Every Month Club seriously. Then when he brought it up while talking about fishing one day more than five years ago in Turley's store, the semi-retired jeweler decided he would, too.
"Did Everett get his December fish?" asked Fehribach. "I know that can be a rough month for him since he works almost every day, which is pretty amazing since he's 93."
After telling Fehribach that both Turley's December 2011 and January 2012 were secure, I shared this story from 2009. But Bryan tells it best.
"We were at Pop's house on Christmas opening up presents," said Bryan. "It was cold. Then I looked out and there was a bobber frozen in the the ice in the middle of the lake.
"I told him it didn't look too good, but if he did catch a fish it would probably take a state record to pull that bobber down through the ice.
"But two days later we had a little thaw and there was some open water at the shallow end of the lake. Dad went out there on the 27th and caught what he called the prettiest little rock bass he'd ever seen in his life."
Fehribach let out a laugh that only a man in the Fish Every Month Club could appreciate and let me know his 117-month long angling streak was sailing along, too.
"I got out Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week," said Fehribach. "Wednesday I caught three bass, all females, that were about 14 inches long. Thursday I caught one bass, another female.
"They all had eggs that looked like they were about one-third developed. They were in shallow water, too. Then Friday I caught just one fish, but it was one of the best crappie I've ever caught, probably 13/4 pounds."
So the quest continues with no end in sight. It is neither noble nor remarkable, but it is something signifcant that all fishermen could use.
It's another fine excuse to go.

I started Genealogy a couple of years ago when my Grammy Beverly Grzywa started telling me stories and showing me pictures of her parents
Leon Lukaszewski
who was a pharmacist and owned L.S. Lukaszewski Drugs in Detroit MI, my papa
Daniel Grzywa
who was also a pharmacist and owned Trancick's pharmacy in Detroit MI, and other family members who were very close to her heart. My Grandma
Betty Jane Pletcher
also sparked my interest for genealogy by telling me how her father
John Gonsey
came to the US from Hungary, and got a job with twin pines Dairy as a milk man for the entire down river Detroit area. She also showed me pictures and told me stories of her husband
Forrest Pletcher
who was born in Pennsylvania, and was a child of a broken home. Knowing he had to support his mother and siblings, he dropped out of school in the eighth grade and moved to Detroit and got a job as a carpenter and how their son Charles now offers a scholarship every year to carpenter students every year in my grandpa's name.
I started with researching my main family lines, but my research kept growing and growing. The main families I am researching are... Pletcher- Somerset Co. Pa, Grzywa, Detroit MI and Poland. Gonczy/ Gonsey Detroit MI and Hungary,and Lukaszewski Chicago IL., and Poland.
If you need info. on any of these names I will be glad to share that with you.
Also I have made a virtual cemetery for memorials I have either created or visited that I thought could use an extra flower, I named it
Angels in Need of Flowers
If you know of a person's memorial that should be added to this list please let me know.
I will gladly transfer management of any of my memorials to you only if you are a direct descendant of that person, and that person is not a direct descendant of me.
Feel free to use any of the info, and pics. I upload to find a grave for your own genealogy reasons.
I Do NOT MIND!
CORRECTIONS: Please use the correction tab for any and all corrections this sends me an email with a link to the person you are needing a correction for. I will try to correct the problem within 24 hours.
If you need any other information on any of the names I am researching please visit my family Tree. The link to it is listed below under Website.
Ancestors of so long ago,
I'll search until I find.
Till I can prove and clearly show,
that you are truly mine.
I'll follow behind your trail of tears,
the hidden footprints of time.
Covered and buried throughout the years,
and continue each mountain to climb.
I'll search every faraway seaside shore,
and every valley below.
I'll unlock each and every door,
as my own teardrops flow.
I'll unearth the buried History of you,
and your own Ancestral kin,
I'll search for that all important clue,
and open my heart to let you in.

You're more than welcome; and you may use the photos.
I wish I could have gotten Miss Stella's stone better; it's kind of a shallow engraving.

Hi Daniel,
This one is my husband's grandfather. I have his death certificates one from Lansing and one from Pontiac,Michigan. No cemetery is listed on either one.

Good evening Daniel:You said that you do different States and Country's.
I have one in Canada:
Wm.Stephen Taylor B-26 Aug.1881-Bolton,Eng.
D-12 July 1967 Vancouver,BC
Frank Douglas Eilliott B-1938 Vancouver,BC
D-11 July 1967 Vancouver
Wm. and Frank were related through marriage.
Canada does not list anything on the death certificates of how they died, where there are buried. I found them on the BC.Death Index and my friends who researhing sent for the cert.nothing is listed and they charged an arm and a leg. They died so close together I thought maybe they were in a car accident. The newspapers charge about $75.00 to look it up to see if there was a obit. He was listed as Stephen William Taylor on the index. I have a couple more that I cant find. Will send another message. Take care. Vivian

Dear Daniel: Thank you so much for posting all the names I gave you....but I have no idea how to edit anything. How did you get some of the info.? I dont know how to edit anything. This is all "Greek" to me. Do you do other cemeteries or just St.Hedwigs?

Meet Raige
I am Raige.
The first thing and only thing you need to know about me is that I feed on anger and hatred. In fact I enjoy every aspect of it.
Favourite players were McEnroe, Safin, Ivanisevic and for one changeover in one match recently, Baghdatis. Apart from that, the current tour is full of pansies that do not embrace the power of rage.
Nice to meet all of you. Do not bother replying to this thread as I want to feel the pulsing rage that comes with being completely ignored.
Re: Meet Raige
Which banned user's DA are you?
Re: Meet Raige
I do not know what a DA is, but I understand what you're asking. I do not have a banned user - but your rude laughing at my introduction and questioning of my existence has filled up the RAGE which went missing after my visit to the all-loving chat threads.
I like you

to answer your question i must tell you who i like to watch play:
Gasquet, Federer, F Lopez, granollers, kohlshreiber - they make me feel positive emotions, so I hate them
Re: Meet Raige
I remember when Yungos was banned, although I never learned which account it was originally associated with.
Extremely tedious stuff. Hope the mods are paying attention.

|This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. (June 2014)
Gla'aki is a fictional character in the Cthulhu Mythos. Gla'aki first appeared in "The Inhabitant of the Lake" (1964), an early story by Ramsey Campbell. Recently this being featured in Campbell's The Last Revelation of Gla'aki (2013).
Gla'aki in the mythos[edit]
In Cthulhu Mythos fiction, Gla'aki is a Great Old One and dwells in a lake in the Severn Valley near Brichester in England (though he has been reported in other lakes around the world). Gla'aki has the shape of an enormous slug covered with metallic spines that, despite their appearance, are actually organic growths. Gla'aki can also extrude tentacles with eyes at the tips, allowing him to peer from underneath the water. It is believed that he came to the Earth imprisoned inside a meteor. When the meteor landed, Gla'aki was freed, and the impact created the lake wherein he now resides.
Gla'aki is an ancient and wise creature with vast knowledge of the other beings that are active in Britain's Severn River Valley, such as Y'golonac, the Denizens of S'glhuo, Shub-Niggurath, Eihort, and Byatis. The cult's holy book, known as The Revelations of Gla'aki, was written by his cult, which gleaned sorcerous knowledge from their master. While the original text was reputedly[clarification needed] written in eleven loose-leaf notebooks by various unidentified contributors, the 1865 edition published by the Matterhorn Press of Highgate is contained in nine volumes, described as "edited, organised and corrected". A small edition printed exclusively for subscribers, it is now extremely rare.
Gla'aki's cult (Servants of Gla'aki)[edit]
By driving one of his spines into a victim and injecting a special fluid, Gla'aki can turn the unfortunate into an undead slave; however, if the spine is broken off before the fluid is injected, the victim dies anyway but is at least spared the fate of becoming Gla'aki's slave. The injected fluid produces growths throughout the victim's body that allow Glaaki to manipulate the subject's corpse.
Many people come to serve Gla'aki willingly, in exchange for the promise of eternal life. What they don't realise is that he makes good on his promise by driving his spines into them, turning them into undead slaves.
The Green Decay[edit]
As time passes the undead creatures become increasingly sensitive to sunlight, and even begin to suffer damage from it. The Servants of Gla'aki refer to this condition as the Green Decay.

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
9:19 O faithless generation. Jesus' impatience with the disciples' lack of faith, and frustration with the general scene of unbelief and impotence as He returns from the mount of Transfiguration, is reminiscent of Moses coming down from Mount Sinai to find unbelief and unfaithfulness in the Israelite camp (Ex. 32).

Believe the hype: Beasts of the Southern Wild is poetic and enchanting
The area is fully flooded, however, and an illegal breach of a remaining levee drains it but can't repair the devastation wrought on plants, animals, and homes. The holdouts are forced at federal gunpoint to evacuate at last, sequestered in a relief shelter-hospital whose sterility and order is as alien to them as the surface of Mars. Worse, this exile hastens the serious illness Wink was able to keep (mostly) at bay in the Bathtub — as the wary say, hospitals are where sick people go to die.
With its elements of magic (or at least the illustration of a child's belief in such), mythological exodus, and evolutionary biology — Gina Montana's Amazonian schoolmarm Miss Bathsheeba defines her eat-or-be-eaten perspective with "Everything is part of the buffet of the universe" — Beasts goes way out on a conceptual limb. Particularly for a low-budget movie with non-professional actors; you could argue it achieves many (if not more) of the same goals Terrence Malick's 2011 The Tree of Life did at a fraction of that film's cost and length. Its messiness is an organic virtue, with grainy imagery whose hand-held spastic camerawork (by Ben Richardson) is for once much more than a trendy stylistic choice; the instability feels in synch with Hushpuppy's world, in vibrates with the slightest clue provided by glance, weather, or instinct.
The frenetic yet amorphous atmosphere might on a first viewing make you question whether there's really much story beneath the busy aesthetic surface, but in fact for all its freely digressive air Beasts is pretty tightly constructed. (Nonetheless, you can imagine the editors scratching their heads initially over how this footage might possibly cut together, unless they were in on the project from the start.) Adding to that spectral, hyperreal effect is a score by Dan Zomer and Zeitlin that combines keening or plucked strings with the ethereal chime of a glockenspiel, at times sounding like a Sufjan Stevens instrumental.
There are moments of real enchantment, like an all-girls' side trip to a floating bordello whose bosomy ladies surrender to their maternal instincts, or the recurrent glimpses that see Hushpuppy's hog gradually morph into a thundering pack of tusked, primeval wild boars. (Toward the end especially, this latter effect underlines the notion that the film's closest recent antecedent is Spike Jonze's 2009 Where the Wind Things Are, another child's feral fantasy.)
Through it all the pint-sized Wallis (who was just five when she was chosen from some 4000 auditioning kids) strides with astonishing alertness and confidence, a vulnerable minor one minute, as regally self-possessed as Pam Grier in Coffy (1973) the next.
It would almost be a shame if she did anything else — this performance would be best preserved as a mysterious lone bolt from the blue, just as the movie itself seems to capture unrepeatable lightning in a bottle.

Rosstat recently released their latest batch of demographic statistics. Nothing particularly bizarre or unexpected happened, but the data show that births have held steady at their 2012 level while deaths have modestly decreased. This means that, if the trends from the January-September period are maintained for the entirety of 2013, Russia will record natural population growth of roughly 13,000, its first natural population growth since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Now in one sense natural growth of 13,000 out of a total population of 143,000,000 sounds puny and unimpressive. However, as I never tire of reminding people, it wasn't all that long ago that Russia was naturally shrinking by hundreds of thousands of people per year. To give some extent of the rapidity of recent improvement, here's a chart showing the natural change in population per 1,000 from 1992-2013:
With a population the size of Russia's, even relatively small fluctuations in the rate of natural change can have a large cumulative impact. For example, if the rate of natural change had remained stuck at its 2010 level of -1.7 (itself a massive improvement over the recent past), Russia's population would today be more than 700,000 smaller than it is in reality.
The point isn't that Russia will inevitably continue to improve, even though it has consistently exceeded even the most optimistic demographic forecasts, it is merely that we should base our analysis of Russian demography on up-to-date numbers and facts, not on vaguely apocalyptic rhetoric.
Russia will at some point in the not too distant future once again experience natural population loss: the youth cohort born during the chaotic 1990′s is simply too small to keep births at their current level. However the extent and rapidity of this eventual population loss is very much up for debate, and it's worth remembering that Russia has, over the past several years, exhibited a resiliency that was entirely unexpected by professional demographers.
