Bottom trawling has gotten served again by Greenpeace!If you haven't seen my post about My favorite Greenpeace video — head on over and watch it! It's a video about how bottom trawling is "laying waste to the precious ecosystems of the deep sea."Last year, Greenpeace dropped boulders in the North Sea to protect the region against bottom trawling. This year we struck again in Sweden, yah!So in love with this — a great way to mess with a truly destructive practice!
i finally checked out your favorite video thanks to this post... it is pretty great. thanks for (repeatedly) sharing!

The injection of heavy ions such as Mg+ or Ca+ into a tokamak such that they are trapped in "fat" banana orbits is proposed as a technique for creation of a radial electric field. Such a field is of interest for improving the confinement of fuel ions relative to the confinement of alpha-particle ash.

When we will be old, with a bunch of kids, this is the year we will talk about, when we will speak about our snowboard movie era. We got the best crew we could ask for. Only friends riding, behind the photo and video lens. We felt like the Lost Boys (PeterPan) going all winter long, doing our own shits, outside of the reel world, only thinking about finding cool spots and doing fun tricks.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Jan Kabili introduces the photo organizing, editing, and sharing features of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, the less expensive version of Photoshop that's ideal for casual photographers who want to achieve professional results. The course covers importing, organizing, and finding photos with the Organizer. It explains how and when to use each of the editing workspaces—from the simple Quick Fix and Guided Edit workspaces to the Full Edit workspace for enhancing your photos—including making photo corrections, retouching, compositing images, and adding text. The final chapter offers creative ways to share photos with Elements, including print projects like greeting cards, calendars, and books, emailing photos, and posting them on Facebook and Flickr.
The panels over on the right side of the screen contain important features that you'll use when you're editing in the Full Photo Edit workspace. But because panels take up so much space on your screen, they're not all open by default. So here's how to open, close, and arrange panels, so that you have access to just the panels you need for a particular task. There's a list of all the available panels under the Window menu at the top of the screen, in this section starting with Adjustments and going down to Undo History. When I'm editing a photo, I like to have four panels open: the Undo History panel, the Layers panel, the Histogram panel, and the Adjustments panel.
We'll be talking about these panels in more detail later in the course. For now, I just want to show you how you can open and arrange these panels in a limited space available on your screen. I'm going to close out of this menu, and let's take a look at which panels are opened by default. First, there is a group of panels. The Effects panel here, and behind it the Content panel, I can switch between these grouped panels by clicking the tab of each, like this, and then by default, the Layers panel is open. The Layers panel is an important one and I want to leave it open.
But I won't be using the Effects and Content panel to do straight photo editing. So I'm going to close that whole panel group temporarily. And the way to close a panel or a panel group is to look for the tiny icon that looks like a list over on the right side of the panel group. When you click that list icon, you get a menu of commands that are relevant to the active panel, in this case, the Effects panel, and then down at the bottom of that list, there's a Close command for closing the active panel or our Close Tab Group command, which will close the entire group of panels.
So I'm going to choose that, Close Tab Group and that closes the Effects and Content panel group. And now there's a lot more room for my Layers panel, and at least one of the other panels that I want to have opened while I'm editing this photo. I'll go up to the Window menu to open another panel, and from there I'm going to choose the Adjustments panel, and that comes in to the column on the right, right underneath the Layers panel. If I had a lot of layers in this photo, and so I wanted more room for the Layers panel, I could always collapse the Adjustments panel by double-clicking its tab like this, and then it collapses down here and when I want to see it, I'll click on its tab again and it will come back up.
So I mentioned I wanted to have two other panels open. I'll go back to the Window menu and I'll choose one of those; the Histogram panel, and I'll choose the fourth one as well, the Undo History panel. So now the problem is I have so many panels open in this column on the right that there really isn't room for the Undo History panel and there isn't any room at all for my Adjustments panel, which is collapsed down here. So what I can do is start a whole another column of panels right next to this one. I'm going to take the Histogram panel and the Undo History panel out of this column and put them in my new column.
I'll start with the Histogram panel. The way to move a panel out of a column is to click on its tab and hold and drag out, and then I'll release my mouse, and the Histogram panel is now floating free on my screen. So I can click on the black title bar and move it wherever I want on my screen. I want to put it in its own column, snapped into the column on the right. So I'm going to move the whole panel by its title bar over toward the column on the right until I see this blue bar, and then I'll release my mouse and that begins a second inner column.
Now I'm going to go get that Undo History panel the same way. I'll click on its tab, I'll drag it out of the column on the right, I'm going to let it float free for a minute, and then I'll click on its black title bar and I'm going to drag it right under that Histogram panel. Notice this blue bar up here is when I get into the right area, and then I'll release my mouse and that snaps the Undo History panel right under the Histogram panel. And then to complete my panel arrangement, I'll go down and I'll click on the tab of the Adjustments panel to bring that one back up from its collapse state.
So now I've got all the panels that I often want to use when I'm editing a photo, but now the problem is that my screen isn't big enough to accommodate all of them and to also see this photo at least at 100% view. So at any time, I can temporarily collapse all the panels over to the right side of the screen, so I can see more of my photo by holding the Shift key down and clicking the Tab key on my keyboard, and now the Document window with the photo is taking up my whole screen. When I need my panels back, I'll Shift+Tab again and here they are. One last thing; when I want to reset my panels to their original configuration, there's a button for that and it's right up here in the bar at the top of the Editor.
I'll click Reset panels and that gets me back to my original default panel configuration. So no matter how big your screen, you do have the flexibility to see just the panels you need for a given task, and to arrange them so that they're convenient for you to access.

Woolpit Crown
closed between 1912 and 1975?
The Street
grid reference TL 973 624
listed building grade II
View in Google Earth
last updated 11/04/2015
The building dates from about 1600, though it's much rebuilt since.
The pub appears on the 1904 OS map but has gone by the 1975 sheet (intermediate ones are insufficiently detailed). Presumably it closed between 1912 (last directory entry found so far) and 1975.
A report in the Ipswich Journal*** on 18 Aug in 1802 states that :
Auction of the Crown Public House in Woolpit-street, Suffolk...comprises a kitchen, back kitchen, 2 large parlours, bar room, dairy and pantry, 6 chambers & garrets over the same; good stabling & other convenient outbuildings; also 2 large gardens, well planted with fruit trees & a pightle, containing about an Acre, well fenced in and all adjoining. There is also a right of commonage on Woolpit Warren...The above old-established Inn is now in full trade...£600 part of the purchase money may remain on security of the premises (Later disposed of by private treaty in notice dated 25 Aug 1802).

The Seattle Times reports upon a recent measles outbreak in Minneapolis traced local Somalis fearful of a purported link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Andrew Wakefield himself has arrived on the scene. His 1998 study linking the MMR to a new syndrome dubbed "autistic enterocolitis" has since been retracted by the Lancet amid allegations of fraud, and his medical license has been revoked.
As CNN reports, Wakefield expected to earn as much as $43 million/year in revenue from "litigation driven testing" for autistic enterocolitis, a test for which he holds a potentially lucrative patent, and received more than $674,000 "from lawyers trying to build a case against vaccine manufacturers."
From the Seattle Times article:
… Read the rest
Health officials struggling to contain a measles outbreak that's hit hard in Minneapolis' large Somali community are running into resistance from parents who fear the vaccine could give their children autism.
Fourteen confirmed measles cases have been reported in Minnesota since February.

Love them, but sizing is weird
I am a 5.5 shoe size, so I ordered a 6.5 to allow for thick socks. However, when I put them on to go boarding they were extremely snug. After an hour or so my toes felt like they split open, and when I took the boots off, my big toes were completely flat because of how tight they were. I am going to send them back to get a size 7. Other than the tightness I loved them! Just make sure you get a bigger size than you think you need.
heel lift
The boots are comfortable and very warm. my only complaint is that my heel can lift almost 3 inches... i dont know if its just my foot shape. i have tried inserts which help a bit. the only way to hold my foot into the boot well, is to crank down my binding, which causes a lot of pain. maybe i will heat mold them, good luck.
I just bought these, so I'll let you know- but I definitely recommend the heat mold with ANY boot. Also, using burton socks (or other snowboard brand name) socks with extra material at the heels helps too.
great value
WOW i can't believe these boots are listed this low - usually when i see this i think 'you get what you paid for' but i've been buying burton boots for the last 3 years and these ride boots are by far the most comfortable boots i've tried!!
the plush foam liner gives a nice soft, insulating ride with zero-no heel lift, the lacing system is easy to use and stays in place for a whole day of riding - these boots are very comfortable, I never want to take them off!!!
They fit true to size - I'm a 7.5 in heels, tennis shoes, pumas whatever - get these boots, you won't regret it!
Warm and comfortable!
I went up for the first time this season with my new boots and I love them. It was -9 on the mountain and snowy. They kept my feet super warm and were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend getting them heat molded for your feet.
A great little boot
Got these for my girlfriend and if the mens version are anything like them I'm buying a pair for myself. Very light and warm, nice and compact. The boot liner system has been getting more and more refined and is great.
Would def buy again and like I said I want a pair for myself.
Caley Pearce
Write your question here...Is this price...
Write your question here...Is this price in Australian dollars or US and is the sizing the same for womens shoes?
Cory Guru
All prices are in US Dollars.
These boots are listed in US women's sizes. To convert use the sizing chart, were Aussie Women's = US Men's.

We have a pool in the backyard we swim in and the goggles do not fog up and are shaded to help protect from the sun. These straps are seamless and you can barely feel they are on. And the quality for the price is outstanding!

great goggles
from Cumming, GA
on 5/13/2014
Suction is soft so to help keep water out without "bruising" the lower portion of the eye. Have not had any problems with fogging! The adjustment strap is easy to use and feels good on the head. Suggestion: the adjustment piece is "bulky" so put on the side if it bothers the back of the head. Otherwise, for girls it is cushioned by the ponytail.

It is frustrating to spend $30 on a pair that leaks. This time I thought I would order one along with some swim suits. Perfect fit, no leaks and very comfortable. The strap is fine, but I prefer to replace it with a bungee cord sold along with the goggle. I order smoke goggles, but will also order a couple of other colors next time--very little risk as they fit so well.
Nice goggles

My kids are on a competitive swim team and buying enough goggles each year to keep them supplied can be tricky. So, we tried these instead of the pricier brands. They work great. My kids love them, they fit their faces well, and they don't fall off on starts. We go through several pair a year. They seem to be as durable as anything else we've used.

I tried all of the comments and read the instructions. I can't get them to fit right. They are either too big or too small. I can't tell if they leak because they are not in far enough or if they are just too small to seal. I have a small head and generally need youth sizes.

Good fit - does not fog - great price.

Ok goggles, but prefer the S2's. I had to replace the strap on these before use - strap is thin and weak so it slips out of place and does not provide firm fit. The goggles themselves are ok, but just prefer the S2 over this one.
not bad, but not great

I like this product, but they do fog up and sometimes you cannot get the water off of them to see clearly under the water. Water does seep in sometimes.
Not very durable

Start off fitting most swimmers. The eye pieces and gaskets work well enough. The nose piece DOES NOT stay connected on any of the ten pairs we've used. The strap is workable but stretches MUCH more than expected. You would be better off buying a different pair of goggles if you plan to use them beyond VERY light use.
Does the job

I recently purchased this product wanting goggles that don't fog up, so these did the job. What I didn't like about this product is that even after I adjusted the goggles to fit my head, I find that water still comes in but it doesn't get fogging. So overall these goggles are fog proof and ate comfortable to wear.

Needs a different head strap
from San Antonio, TX

The goggles are great but the head strap and strap hook could be different. Either the strap isn't wide enough or the strap hook is too big. The strap keeps slipping and won't stay at the proper fitting. Going to have to replace the entire order with bungee cords. Not happy about the straps on any of them.
Very uncomfortable

They are ok for a few laps. I try to do a mile. The suction is poor unless you make it tighter but then they dig in around the eyes. I had to adjust several times. I gave up after 10 minutes and put on my old goggles.
Good goggles

Goggles aren't bad, but don't fit my eyes perfectly. I have to tighten them a bit more than other pairs I've owned causing them to be a bit more uncomfortable on long swims.

Took a bit of adjusting - but they do not leak now. the anti-fog works really well.

July is a hot month and we have some hot sale prices to go along with it! Along with some generally popular items like center pull towels and stainless steel tables, we also have several items to get you ready for the carnival and concession season starting soon. In addition to our concession supplies on sale below, make sure you are prepared for the upcoming season by checking out all the great equipment and supplies in the Concession Supplies section of our website.
Adapting traditional desserts into adult-friendly, alcoholic treats is a trend that's catching on in many bars and restaurants. If you're looking to offer your customers something different, try incorporating one (or all) of these boozy desserts and drinks into your summer menu to drive new patrons to your business and increase your profits.
These adult-only desserts are inspired by flavors from their alcohol-free counterparts and traditional bar menu items. "Poptails" come in traditional fruit flavors like strawberry, watermelon, and peach, and bar favorites like margarita, Bloody Mary, cosmopolitan, and mojito. Be sure to only include 20% liquor in your mix, or the popsicle won't freeze all the way through. For a more upscale presentation, try serving them submerged in prosecco or champagne.
These frosty cocktails have been popular for years, and many bars have at least a few options, if not whole menus, of alcoholic milkshakes. Like alcoholic popsicles, adult milkshakes are inspired by flavors from non-alcoholic favorites like vanilla, chocolate, s'more, and peanut butter cup.
These milkshakes are typically made with liquor, vanilla ice cream, flavored liqueurs, and dessert ingredients, like caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, and fruit. Liqueurs, like coffee, hazelnut, and chocolate, provide a strong flavor that's balanced by the other ingredients. The preparation is easy and most bars already have the blenders and freezers necessary to make the milkshakes and store the ingredients.
Beer Floats are just what they sound like: beer served with scoops of ice cream inside! Fruity beers like lambics and Belgian-style witbiers are great with vanilla ice cream. Meanwhile, heavier beers like stouts and porters are a little more versatile and can be served with any flavor ice cream, though the most popular are vanilla and chocolate.
These floats can be garnished or flavored with any extra sauces, liqueurs, or fruits, but many don't need it. Beer floats are a simpler alternative to the cocktail milkshake since they only require two ingredients.
Hard slushies are light alternatives to some of the heavier frozen drink options. The mixture is similar to popsicles, but you don't need to worry about freezing them completely. This allows you to have a higher alcohol content without sacrificing the desired texture.
Because of their bright colors, slushy mixes can be made in bulk and stored in plain sight, prompting impulse buys. To avoid watering down the final mixture, you can use frozen fruit instead of shaved or cubed ice. Hard slushies can even be made without artificial sweeteners, so they are easily adapted for health-conscious customers.
These frozen treats provide fun, light flavors that keep the party going and are a great way to beat the heat. Their versatility allows them to be as simple or complex as you want with base recipes that allow your creativity to shine through. Best of all, bars already have most of the equipment needed to make them! Alcoholic popsicles, milkshakes, floats, and slushies are fun alternatives to traditional cocktails, making them profitable additions to any summer drink menu.
With July 4th just around the corner, people are planning holiday excursions to see historical landmarks, honor military veterans, and watch dazzling fireworks. Draw crowds into your business during this busy season with our patriotic recipes that are sure to have customers pledging allegiance to your cuisine at the same time!
At the time of his death in 1799, George Washington owned the largest whiskey distillery in the country. In honor of the noble precedent he set for future presidents and his accomplishments as a liquor distiller, we christened this drink in his name.
Betsy Ross is best known for sewing the first American flag, and her accomplishment created an emblem for our nation that's recognized around the world. So, show your pride with a juicy burger and loads of colorful toppings to emulate Old Glory!
This delicious twist on a classic summer favorite is sure to have heads turning! Made with red, white, and blue potatoes, this salad is the perfect addition to your 4th of July table spread.
In a defiant reaction to the British parliament's tax increase on tea, Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty threw 45 tons of tea into the Boston Harbor. Defy tradition a little bit yourself this year by tossing the classic recipes for Boston Tea Party cupcakes made with Earl Grey tea. This recipe will make 24 cupcakes.
Cook 1 large jar of strawberry preserves in a sauce pan over low-medium heat with the zest of half an orange, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice, for about 10 minutes. Set aside to infuse.
The syrup will be used to flavor the icing. Bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer. Add 1 tablespoon loose Earl Grey tea and reduce the syrup for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep until cool. Strain out tea.
Spread a little orange-infused strawberry jam on cupcakes. Frost with earl grey icing, and dress them in cupcake wrappers. If making a layer cake, use the jam in between layers and frost the top and sides with icing. Pack them up in patriotic cake boxes for to-go orders.
From drink to dessert, we have every part of your holiday meal special covered. With these patriotic recipes, you and your guests can recognize Independence Day while enjoying some delicious food that will give everyone reason to celebrate!
Enemy to restauranteurs and customers alike, the fly lurks by back doors and enters uninvited, bringing dirt, disease, and general discomfort to the humans inside of your establishment. Flies lie in wait for unsuspecting diners to have a meal on your patio so they can circle the food like miniature vultures. They may only live for up to a month, but if too many are around they can cause serious damage to the reputation of your business in their short lives. Luckily, June is Fight the Filthy Fly Month and we have the tips and tools to help you combat these troublesome pests.
If you aren't taking special care to deter flies, your restaurant could be the perfect breeding ground for them, which is why the first step in fighting the filthy fly is prevention. Flies love meat and other odor-emitting foods, so be sure to wipe up prep surfaces whenever possible. Keep garbage and organic waste securely covered, and have it removed as often as possible. Talk to your waste management provider about scheduling extra pick-ups during the summer months when flies are most troublesome. Flies hate the aroma of fragrant plants like lavender, basil, mint, bay, and wormwood. Try planting some of these around your outdoor seating area to repel flies while giving you fresh herbs to use in your kitchen. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even use carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap, sundews, and butterworts as fly-trapping decorations!
Even when careful preventative steps are taken, flies can be stubborn, especially in establishments where food is always present. Fortunately, there are multiple options for your restaurant to fight the filthy fly this summer!
Flying insect spray is great for quickly eliminating flies from an infested area. When the chemicals are sprayed into a room, flies are asphyxiated and die immediately. When sprayed by doors and windows, flies smell the chemicals and are deterred from your establishment. These types of sprays can also work on other unwelcome flying insects like mosquitoes, beetles, moths, bees, and hornets.
Glue traps make a great alternative to chemical sprays in your service area or kitchen. Some work by emitting a UV light that draws flies in and then traps them when they land on the sticky inner surface. Others are coated with an adhesive solution that smells sweet to the flies and attracts them to their doom. Pick up a freestanding glue trap for your outdoor patio or a subtle wall-mounted trap to blend with your indoor dining area.
A bug zapper attracts insects to its internal light, and then kills them with a jolt of electricity when they fly into the machine. Flies and other bugs are then dropped into the easy-to-clean tray, making zappers a sanitary way to take care of pests. Because they may make a quiet noise when flies are zapped, these are best to use away from customers enjoying their meals. Mount one in your kitchen or prep area, or leave it by a busy doorway to keep bugs at bay.
Opening and closing doors is unavoidable, especially in a busy restaurant, but it lets flies enter with ease. Air curtains keep bugs out and air conditioning in by forming a barrier of air in your doorway. Screen strip doors are great for back doors and staff entrances because they let employees move through with their hands full, while the heavy screens keep flies from entering your establishment.
As the weather heats up and you start to notice more winged beasts flying around your establishment, you'll be armed and ready to join restaurant owners across the country in the fight against the filthy fly. If fly-mageddon hasn't started in your area yet, try our preventative measures to keep them at bay. If you're already at DEFCON 1, enlist some of our fly-zapping products to keep your customers safe from foodborne illness and your establishment clear of a buggy reputation.

Survey of Nigeria's foreign policy - 4
The Murtala Mohammed/Olusegun Obasanjo regime carried forward the policy of de-colonisation by its support for the MPLA regime in Angola and the provision of arms and materials for the intensification of the war of liberation in Southern Africa. The use of Nigeria's economic power as leverage against British interests in the case of the nationalisation by Obasanjo of British Petroleum over the disagreement on Rhodesia, showed that Nigeria had come of age. There is no doubt that the threat of further action in the economic area convinced the British government that Africa was no longer to be taken for granted. This facilitated the emergence of democracy in Zimbabwe. Since that time Nigeria's voice has been listened to carefully in the process of de-colonisation and removal of apartheid in South Africa. In and out of office, Obasanjo, whether as head of state or member of the Commonwealth's Eminent Persons Group, played a role in Namibia's independence and in the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa.
Nigeria under President Shehu Shagari was pre-occupied with the consolidation of democracy at home, but did not back down from sending Nigeria's troop as part of OAU peacekeeping force in Chad. This unsuccessful intervention does not vitiate the fact that Nigeria demonstrated foresightedness and ability to project power in seeking to contribute to peaceful resolution of conflict outside its immediate neighbourhood and national territory. This was to be carried to its logical conclusion when General Ibrahim Babangida intervened in the civil war in Liberia. This has been a costly intervention in manpower and money. The winding down of this operation by the Abacha regime and its intervention in Sierra Leone confirm the fundamental questions about Nigeria's national interest in the West African region.
In his book: The End of History and the Last Man, Francis Fukuyama has in detail argued that no country can develop without a free market economy and also political liberalism. Essential to this is democracy. In a world dominated by the victory of western liberalism after the protracted cold war, it has become obvious that the way of market determined economic planning is the way to economic progress. Economic development must also be anchored on democracy. This is why it is in our interest to embrace the tenets of democracy, transparency, rule of law and accountability not because we want to please the international community but because that is what is necessary for our national development. Our foreign policy must therefore be aligned with our national interest of rapid economic development within the shortest time possible.
During the Babangida regime, the matter of economic development dominated Nigeria's foreign policy. A careful analysis of Nigeria's internal problems showed that the lack of economic growth had impacted negatively on our politics and ethnic relations in the face of competition for scarce white collar jobs. Our economic regression and depression had telling effect on our social welfare, education, internal security and Nigeria's power position within the international system. Realising that a strong economy at home would bring respect abroad, Nigeria with prodding from the Breton Woods institutions, the IMF and the World Bank, decided to restructure her economy and allow the market to determine the rate of exchange of our national currency as well as market prices generally. It was in these circumstances that Nigeria decided to put the weight of her foreign policy behind her economic development under the policy rubric of economic diplomacy. As a result, Nigeria embarked on South-South cooperation and intensification of economic contacts with China, South Asia, India, Korea, Brazil and Argentina. Ministerial delegations were sent to virtually everywhere in the investing world to drum up support for the Nigerian economy.
There was considerable success as can be seen in trade with Jamaica, Brazil and Argentina. Members of the organised private sector were encouraged to be involved in opening up opportunities through their cooption as members of official trade and foreign affairs delegations to several countries. It was not only South-South trade that was promoted. Nigeria's traditional allies in the West were encouraged to invest in Nigeria through our policy of deregulation.
A trade and investment department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was created to help foreign investors with appropriate information on how to set up industries without going through hitherto complicated bureaucratic process. This department was charged with the responsibility of packaging information that was widely circulated throughout embassies to appropriate chambers of commerce and industries overseas.
The government also created the Corporate Affairs Commission so that incorporation of companies could be done in one office instead of going to several offices to secure signatories before the simple incorporation of companies could be effected. The indigenisation decree, which barred foreign interest from certain category of business, was abrogated. The process of facilitating easy repatriation of dividends and profits which finally culminated in the abrogation of the Foreign Exchange decree was put in place.
Whenever Nigeria found a forum, whether in the non-aligned conferences, the OAU, ECOWAS, the Commonwealth and the UN, economic concern and preoccupation dominated our declarations and speeches. Starting from the Non-Aligned Conference in Nicosia and Belgrade in 1988, Nigeria prevailed on members to address the issue of economic development rather than getting bogged down in the old refrain of railing against imperialism! The question of the debt overhang was then weighing everybody down. Nigeria also proposed the establishment of the Group of Fifteen (G-15) a group of developing medium income countries in Africa and Asia to properly articulate the economic priorities of the developing world. The United Nations was also prevailed upon to declare the 1990s Africa's development decade. This was backed up by the Programme for African Economic Reconstruction and Development.
Nigeria received support from most of our creditors at least in terms of debt rescheduling and occasional grants, especially for disease eradication, protection of the rain forest and programmes of bio-diversity. There was always the promise of debt write-offs provided we continued to deregulate and to transit from military rule to democracy.
Nigeria in the 1990s realized that with the demise of apartheid in view and with the rest of the world moving in the direction of closer economic integration as seen in the example of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Area), Nigeria should also move in the direction of continental free trade. It was the belief of the government that a continental market of 800 million people would enjoy economy of scale for local producers as well as serve as an attractive market for foreign investors. It was decided that the regional economic organizations should be strengthened as a building block for eventual continental union.

The Atlanta Braves got big nights from Julio Teheran and both Upton brothers as they beat the Miami Marlins in game two of the series. The Braves pounded out 11 hits while defeating the Marlins 6-4 on Tuesday.
With Monday night's 14 inning game, the Braves really needed Julio Teheran to go deep into Tuesday's start. Teheran did exactly that, with a great start in Miami. He pitched 7.1 innings and only gave up one earned run. Teheran's great start allowed the Braves to only use Jordan Walden, and Craig Kimbrel out of the bullpen.
The Braves got out to an early lead on the Marlins. B.J Upton was able to hit a sacrifice fly to right field for the second out in the second inning. Freddie Freeman was on third base and was able to tag up and score on the Upton fly ball.
The Marlins answered in their portion of the second inning. The Marlins inning was kept alive when Chris Johnson, the Braves third baseman, made a fielding error. The inning should have been over, but Rob Brantley, the Marlins catcher, got to come to the plate in the second. Brantley hit a homerun off the foul pole in left that put the Marlins up 3-1 over the Braves.
Just like the Braves, the Marlins would not hold the lead long. In the third inning, Justin Upton hit his first double of the game, that scored Jason Heyward. A couple of batters later, Brian McCann got a fly ball to the outfield that allowed Justin Upton to tag and score from third. The two runs in the third for the Braves tied the ball game up at three.
The Marlins were able to grab the lead back in the next half inning. In the bottom of the third, it was a Logan Morrison single that brought Ed Lucas around to score. Morrison's RBI single gave the fish a 4-3 lead.
Julio Teheran would shut down the Marlins after the third inning. His shutdown innings gave the Braves offense a chance to get things going and grab the lead for good.
It was the fifth inning when the Braves were able to tie up the game. Justin Upton hit his second double of the night and was on base with Brian McCann coming to the plate. McCann singled to center and Upton scored to tie the game at tie.
Julio Teheran helped himself out with an infield hit in the sixth. Henderson Alvarez, the Marlins starter, tried to make an off balance throw to first on the ball hit by Teheran. The throw was off target and allowed B.J. Upton to score from second base.
Justin Upton continued his good series at the plate in the seventh inning, when he crushed his 16th homerun of the season. Upton's 400ft shot gave the Braves a 6-4 lead.
The lone Braves all-star, Craig Kimbrel, came in and pitched a perfect ninth inning to put the Marlins away. Kimbrel recorded his 24th save of the season.
Game MVP:
Justin Upton: 3-5, 3 R, 2 2B, HR, and 2 RBI's
The youngest of the Upton brother's is my game MVP for the second straight night. Upton scored every time he was on base during Tuesday's game.
Justin Upton was the game MVP, but both brothers really had a good day at the plate. B.J finished the game 2-3. During Tuesday's game, the Upton brothers combined to go 5-8, 4 R, and 3 RBI's. A lot of Braves fans are hoping this is a sign of things to come for the two Upton brothers.
The Upton brothers had a great night, but Julio Teheran cannot be overlooked. It was a great job by a young pitcher to take care of the task at hand. He did a great job going deep into the game and saving the Atlanta bullpen. This helps greatly, since tomorrow is an afternoon game.
The Braves will look for a series sweep on Wednesday afternoon. Paul Maholm will look to get his 10th win of 2013 in tomorrow's series finale.

As we all know, on Saturday our understanding of the modern world was irreversibly altered when
Butler upended MSU to represent the Horizon League (Horizon League?!?) in tonight's National Championship Apple released the iPad. To mark this occasion, the Times ran an interesting op-ed from nonfiction author Marc Aronson about paying for permissions in a digital age:
In order for electronic books to live up to their billing, we have to fix a system that is broken: getting permission to use copyrighted material in new work. Either we change the way we deal with copyrights — or works of nonfiction in a multimedia world will become ever more dull and disappointing.
The hope of nonfiction is to connect readers to something outside the book: the past, a discovery, a social issue. To do this, authors need to draw on pre-existing words and images.
Unless we nonfiction writers are lucky and hit a public-domain mother lode, we have to pay for the right to use just about anything — from a single line of a song to any part of a poem; from the vast archives of the world's art (now managed by gimlet-eyed venture capitalists) to the historical images that serve as profit centers for museums and academic libraries.
Copyright issues and permissions are an age-old problem, but what makes Aronson's piece interesting to me is his suggestion of how to fix this:
For e-books, the new model would look something like this: Instead of paying permission fees upfront based on estimated print runs, book creators would pay based on a periodic accounting of downloads. Right now, fees are laid out on a set schedule whose minimum rates are often higher than a modest book can support. The costs may be fine for textbooks or advertisers, but they punish individual authors. Since publishers can't afford to fully cover permissions fees for print books, and cannot yet predict what they will earn from e-books, the writer has to choose between taking a loss on permissions fees or short-changing readers on content.
Putting aside piracy issues for a minute (or, heaven bless us, forever), this idea does represent one of the promises for an e-book world. I know from negotiating permission in the past that the current system is pretty much bullshit. I would always claim that we were going to sell something in the range of 75 copies of a particular title, the rights holder would still insist on a multi-thousand dollar fee that would exceed some author advances, and the whole process was fairly disturbing. Anything on a pay-per-piece model is appealing to me, since it actually ties expenses to sales and makes a book's budget a little more logical. (Just a little bit, but still, in this industry, a little logic could go a long way.)
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .

I need your help in correcting my father's Find a Grave site No. 74232818 of which you are in charge. Somehow there has been a mistake. My father Willie Burl Martin (1907-1989) if Find a Grave No. 74232818, He was married to Mary Florence Reedy Martin, 1921-1995 - Find a Grave No. 74232914, which is shown on his page. But also shown is a wife named Ruby Pearl White Martin (1910-1991) Find a Grave No. 58953482. My father was never married to Ruby Pearl White Martin. In addition, his son was NOT Billie Martin (1929-1934) Find a Grave No. 64712915. Ruby Pearl White Martin was married to a Willie "Bill" Martin and their son was Billie Martin.
Will you please correct my father's Find a Grave listing or you can transfer his site to me and I will be happy to manage it. Thanks for your help.

I have received some edits and information regarding my memorial in Masonic cemetery in Austin,Texas I made the memorial in August 2009 as it was on the list I copied from when I made her memorial now I find that she is actually buried in rock springs I transferred her memorial to that cemetery now there are duplicates. I have made connections and added the obituary. I have asked Barbara who sent me the information if she is related that I would transfer my memorial to her. All the memorial lacks at this time is the picture of the headstone.

And now I'd like to turn the call over to Jessica Ekeberg, a member of the TCP Capital Corporation Global Investor Relations team. Jessica, please proceed.
Jessica Ekeberg
Before we begin, I would like to note that this conference call may contain forward-looking statements based on the estimates and assumptions of management at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those projected. Any forward-looking statements made on this call are made as of today and are subject to change without notice.
During today's call, we will refer to a slide presentation which you can access by visiting our website, www.tcpcapital.com. Click on the Investor Relations link and select Events and Presentations. Our earnings release and 10-Q are also available on our site.
I will now turn the call over to Mr. Howard Levkowitz, Chairman and CEO of TCP Capital Corp.
Howard Levkowitz
Thanks, Jessica. I would like to thank everyone for participating in today's call. I am here with our President and COO, Raj Vig; our Chief Financial Officer, Paul Davis; and other members of the TCP Capital team.
Yesterday, we issued our earnings release for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. A supplemental earnings presentation is posted to our website. We will refer to this presentation throughout our call. Today I will provide an overview of TCPC's investment activities and performance. And then, Paul will provide more details on the numbers. I will then return with some further prospective before we take your questions.
I would like to start by reviewing a few key highlights from the first quarter. First, we are pleased to report that our portfolio generated net investment income of $0.49 per share after preferred dividends and incentive compensation. Second, we are raising our quarterly dividend to $0.36 per share up from $0.35 per share in the previous quarter.
Third, our earnings per share was $0.60 and our net asset value increased sequentially by 1.4% to $14.91 per share. Our estimated net asset value as of April 30 was $15.14 per share. Fourth, we deployed $40 million in new investments during the quarter and $62.5 million during the first five weeks of the second quarter.
Now moving on to a summary of the market environment in the first quarter, we saw a lower level of activity during the first quarter following a surge in deal activity at year-end. Activity levels across our markets were slow at the beginning of the quarter, but our deal flow began to increase later in the quarter. Over the last four quarters, we invested over $325 million on a gross basis and over $100 million on a net basis. We continue to focus on allocating our capital to income producing securities as 98% of our new investments in the quarter were in the form of senior secured debt.
Spreads and covenant packages in the middle market continue to be more attractive than those in the large leverage loan market. However, the tight spreads in the broadly syndicated market have influenced terms in our market. Against this backdrop, we took a highly selective approach that choosing investments and we'll continue to carefully analyze each opportunity through our intensive and proven due diligence process.
Turning now to TCP Capital's first quarter performance, TCP Capital generated $0.49 per share in net investment income after preferred dividends and incentive compensation. And we will pay a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share at the end of June.
We would like to emphasize that the first quarter net investment income significantly exceeds our regular second quarter dividend. This margin of coverage demonstrates the earnings power of our portfolio.
In addition, our first quarter net increase in net assets from operations was $0.60 per share. Paul Davis, our CFO, will cover this in more detail. For those viewing our presentation, please turn to slide 8. Our highly diversified portfolio was in good shape at the end of the quarter with a fair value of $510 million invested in 54 companies.
On slide 9, you can see the continued transformation of our portfolio since the beginning of 2012. During the first quarter we maintained our high percentage of debt investments as well as the percentage invested in senior secured debt and floating rate investments. At quarter end, approximately 93% of the portfolio was invested in debt securities, 96% of which were senior secured loans.69% of the debt positions were in floating rate debt, 96% of which had interest rate floors.
During the first quarter we invested approximately $40.3 million in five different transactions. These include four follow-on investments in existing portfolio company positions and one new company.

Originally written on Burning River Baseball | Last updated 3/2/13
The 2013 Cleveland Indians outfield will be the most different part of the team when compared to 2012. Shin-Soo Choo, who has been the starting right fielder since 2008 has been traded to Cincinnati, making Asdrubal Cabrera the longest tenured starter on the Indians (at shortstop since 2009). The left fielder will also be new as the three main left fielders from 2012 (Johnny Damon [retired], Shelley Duncan [Rays] and Aaron Cunningham [Rangers]) have all been released. This makes the only remaining outfielder Michael Brantley, but he will not be returning to center field. The Indians made a huge splash in the free agent market just before camp opened, signing former Atlanta Brave centerfielder Michael Bourne to be the new centerfielder. Also in the Choo trade the Indians acquired new outfielder Drew Stubbs from the Reds. Stubbs will be playing his fifth season and has never played anywhere but centerfield. He has a tendency to strike out (leading the NL in 2011), but provides a c...

And any predictions for this season? I say they average less as a team. A lot less.
And any predictions for this season? I say they average less as a team. A lot less.
The innings thing has kinda been a burr in your saddle lately, hasn't it?
"Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?" ~ Jim Bouton
Reds starters, total innings pitched:
2005 - 919
2004 - 905.2
2003 - 882
2002 - 879.2
That's roughly 5.1 IP/start on low side and 5.2 IP/start on the high side. Seeing as the team only has two starters worth a damn (thus my signature), I could see the club dropping down under the 900 IP mark this season. Though Harang, who pretty much eliminated the need for handwringing today, and Claussen could give the club 400+ between them. So it would take some spectacularly bad pitching from the 3-4-5 guys to bury the IP count. Unfortunately, it looks like those guys might be up to the challenge.

NFL at Wembley: Sky Sports takes a look at the Minnesota Vikings
Ahead of the Wembley game we take a look at what you need to know about the Minnesota Vikings.
By Paul Higham Twitter: @SkySportsPaulH
Last Updated: 25/09/13 4:32pm
The Vikings face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, so here we have a rundown of all you need to know about the Vikings.
Formed in 1960, the Vikings now play in the NFC North division, facing the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers twice each season as their local rivals.
The Team were named the Vikings to embrace the fact that Minnesota is a heartland for the American Scandinavian population - and this is also reflected in their team logo and helmet design.
Minnesota have one of the highest winning percentages in the NFL since their inception, while with 25 trips to the play-offs they rank third in that category, showing that they are always a big force to be reckoned with.
Purple People Eaters
The rather gory name given to the Vikings defence of the late 1960s and 1970s when the team dominated the NFL but somehow failed to win a Super Bowl despite making it to four in eight years.
One of those four defeats came against Sunday's opponents Pittsburgh - who have gone on to make a real habit out of picking up the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Minnesota have had several strong teams since that era, but they have never managed to get back to the big game with the Vikings losing their last five NFC Championship games since 1978.
Home advantage
Their current stadium has the rather cumbersome name of the Mall of America at the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome. The Metrodome, as it is more commonly known, holds 64,000 and is one of the loudest in the league - offering the team a distinct home field advantage.
With Viking horns sounding on scoring plays and vociferous fans packing it out, it seems strange the team would want to leave, but for infrastructure reasons they are moving to a new stadium for the 2016 season - they will be keen to ensure their new digs have the same acoustics as the Dome.
Like most other NFL teams they have their own cheerleading squad, while they also have their mascot Ragnar - a Viking of a man - and their fans regularly sport their Helga Hats to show support for their Viking ancestry.
Adrian Peterson
With the team struggling in recent years, their star running back has become the symbol of the team. The certain Hall of Famer of the future has just kept on running and running despite the Vikings having to lean heavily on him throughout the last few years.
Even when coming off major knee surgery, Peterson responded by becoming just the seventh man to run for 2,000 yards in a single season last year on his way to being named the league MVP - although he came an agonising nine yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105.
Only injury has stopped him making 1,000 yards in all of his six seasons so far, but it's not just his consistency, but his consistency in the face of what is usually a defence geared up just to stop him that makes his achievements even more remarkable.
Fans at Wembley are getting a real treat being able to see him in action.

Do you need information on the Cinque Terre trails?
For those that will be visiting the Cinque Terre and want to hike the No. 2 (Sentiero Azzurro) trails, this is the most current information that I've seen.... http://savevernazza.com/traveladvisortrailupdates/ It looks like the Monterosso - Vernazza section will be the first to open on April 25, with the Corniglia - Vernazza section next. According to the website, it appears that the famous Via dell'Amore may not open at all this season? Cheers!

Given recent tragedies caused by a lone individual that ended in multiple deaths, it probably was inevitable that the PBS science series would attempt a clinical explanation for such occurrences.
Former CNN anchor-reporter Miles O'Brien seeks such information in this episode, examining social influences and functions of the brain - or the failure of such - that can factor into actions resulting in such devastation. *** (Not rated)

37 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-40 within 40 miles
Active within 24 hours
Don't expect to receive more than you're willing to give.
Ok, where do you begin with this? I moved here from Seattle about 8 years ago to escape the gloominess of the Northwest. I now consider San Diego my home and can't imagine living anywhere else. SD is great but I can say honestly that the dating scene here is a little harsh. I am a very active person with a great core group of friends that are always doing something fun. At this point in my life it would be great to meet someone to share life's great moments with. No pressure, no expectations, all great relationships start from great friendships. I am done playing games, looking for genuine people and quality not quantity. Treat others the way you want to be treated I feel is a perfect way of describing who I am and what I want in someone else. Here are some key words… Camping, dive bars, good wine, sushi, mexican, happy hours, pool, darts, boxing (love to watch the fights), karaoke (yes, you heard me), bowling, poker, my beach cruiser, big dogs, my slippers, my bed, flip-flops, movies (new and classic), football (Chargers baby!), cooking a nice meal (yes, I can cook), fine dining, the mountains, the beach, Vegas!, road trips, entertaining good friends and family and of course… music (listening and live shows), couldn't live without it! Anything else just ask, I'm a very open person. If this sounds good, hit me up and let's see where it may go. Good times, no drama!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
