John Friend on the economics of teaching Yoga. Part I: "Supply and Demand"
"As the demand increased, I increased classes. But I didn't increase classes until I had demand." ~ John Friend
John Friend, Anusara yoga's Titan, held down three to four yoga classes a day at Wanderlust Festival, Cali, while serving as Mayor of the Anusara Yoga Village that he, Dave Kennedy and his community created for the festival. The village was complete with an art gallery, a tea room, yoga pavilion, acupuncture tent, a Shiva/Shakti altar and Manduka Yoga mats.
Where is My Guru and elephant correspondent, Jessica Durivage, talked with John about the noticeable increase in teachers, teacher training and yoga studios in the United States in the last 10 years.
This interview is the first of a series being produced by Where is My Guru for elephant journal, called "Does America Really Need Another Yoga Teacher?" …exploring topics such as the economics of yoga, Guru's tradition and lineage, leadership and the explosion of yoga teacher trainings around the world.
This is part one of a two-part series with John Friend. Be on the lookout for upcoming interviews with Seane Corn, Dr. Scott Blossom, Dr. Katy Poole, Jeanie Manchester and Yogarupa Rod Stryker.

Thank you Yogini5, for your thoughts. I definitely hear where you are coming from and this has ignited this interview series where Master Teachers will candidly share their thoughts around yoga in America today.
Thank you so very much for addressing this touchy "Topic". I find this topic so refreshing that should and needs to be discussed. I have lost track of all the teacher trainings located in the communities that I practice. I myself entered a 200 hr. teacher training after 2 1/2 years of dedicated practice. I left with a deeper understanding of myself and my practice, but did not feel so moved to start teaching right away.
Some might say "you loose it if you do not use it", but my intentions of moving from my heart to give this wonderful gifts of "Yoga" to others was never driven by ego or to be "known" like many teachers I see seek.
I have no doubt that I will end up teaching at some point, but when I know in my heart that I am ready and prepared. However, my intentions of teaching will always be from the heart and not driven by "ego, money, or because it's popular"
Jessica, I am looking forward to the other parts of this topic that you will be writing and interviews that you post.
Thanks, Jay. I agree with you – as I have been 10 years out of a teacher training where I jumped right into supporting the opening of a studio. It was overwhelming, I didn't know how to hold space for others or myself.
My goal and aim with this series is to get teachers and studio owners more aware of creating dialogue amongst their communities in how they can support yogi's to "stay in the world." How can we live with yogic values while in our jobs, relationships and families. I would love to see that training.
This is a money making venture plain and simple. Not to dwell on the "imagined " past, but….yoga's original integrity was intact until the last 20 years came along. Yoga was as natural as food, water, air, and the ground upon which we stand. But in a country where natural food can only be afforded by the single professional or single unemployed supported by Daddy, and water is in a bottle and shipped from Italy ,France, and Fiji. The air is still free and natural to some degree. I question whether or not the intentions of those that teach yoga is true to yoga's original intent. "Supply and Demand"???? Is it not obvious what the intent is? The yoga studio always comes first…not the students. Fill up the studio and rake in the money
omg!!! so agree…in part….meaning, i am a yoga studio owner HOWEVER, and it is a BIG however, i am not getting rich by any means……my intention was to create a space for people to feel safe enough to heal what they needed to heal….i have no interest in "immersions" or any other spiral and loops that lead to some major pocket money…….i stil have not been given an answer as to what, if any organization all of Friend's money goes to……AND, on another note…..most of us know that a great teacher is one who gives their students the skill and sends them on their way to self empowerment…..my observations have been that anusara takes advantage of so many by helping them to believe that they must spend THOUSANDS of dollars in order to own what already exists inside them …….kool aid drinkers, in my view….total turn off…..Yoga IS pure and simple and need not be turned into some cult that if you are not a part of, you MUST be missing something……they promote INCLUSION and my experiences have made me feel extremely EXCLUDED……thanks Mark ….i am with you…. gina
I was talking to my husband about the over saturation of yoga teachers in our community. It seems like after 6 months of practice everyone is a yoga teacher! I had studied for about two years when I was asked to sub my teacher's class while he was away. I freaked out. It was many years ago when you didn't need Yoga Alliance or anything to teach- you just taught. I was a dedicated student but always fought the idea of teaching- I just wanted to learn and be a better student.
I am now in the Anusara Certification process and I feel that after 8 years I am a better student- and hopefully becoming a better teacher along the way. I think a 200 hour training is the most basic building block of a teacher and I agree that there should be prerequisites of time studied/practiced before people are allowed in. It is so hard to curb enthusiasm of someone who has caught the yoga bug however and I can see how it is hard to say no to that. Studios do depend on teacher trainings for income- the income from a TT once a year can be what keeps the studio open the rest of the year. The TT also helps the studios cultivate their own up and coming teachers. What is missing is more continuing education for new teachers- 200 hours barely scrapes the surface of what is necessary to serve students- and sometimes training is not enough- time and experience is often what is missing.
Thank you so much for offering this thoughtful topic Jessica- it really is at the forefront of yoga today.
Thank you so much for your thoughts Shibuiyoga! It is an important topic and I am so excited to share the thoughts of some other amazing bright lights in the yoga community to help us all reflect, hopefully, on our own practice and our relationship to it.
Magnum? It's all the same look! Am I taking crazy pills?
John is always hitting the nail on the head. In most other styles, you go from student to teacher. Even in Anusara, in deepening your practice, there's the immersion, and then teacher training. An improvement, but I would appreciate it if there was another track. After an immersion, you could have a deeper personal study, or a teacher training.
Thanks Waxbear for the comment! I agree. I think we could re-shape the word "teacher training" – as so many people are just looking to deepen their practice. I am sure there are some that think "becoming a teacher" is the only way. I am grateful that at this point in my own personal practice, that is all I am looking to cultivate… personal practice.
Wise thoughts from John. I had been practicing and assisting in classes with two local Iyengar teachers for four years when I reluctantly went into teaching. From early on in my practice, I'd aspired to teach someday, but sensed that there was so much to learn and integrate before I could teach. The only reason I started after only four years of intensive practice was that my teachers moved to Santa Fe and offered their well-established classes to me—a gift for which I will always be grateful. Was I ready to teach then? Probably not, but I made the gesture of doing it and grew into it over the years. After 25 years I still sometimes wonder if I'm ready to teach. For me the concept that has kept my teaching vital and allowed it to deepen over the years is to always remember that I am a student first.
Charlotte – your thoughts could not ring more true! I think this story should be shared with all individuals considering the yogic path as a career. Thank you for your honesty.
absolute truth! I also felt and feel this way. 16 years on, and now having my own studio in NZ, I'm always looking deeper into myself, my practice, and what i call my "teaching practice."
I love love the idea of checking in with "Does America Really Need Another Yoga Teacher?"
Way to go Jessica!
I just recently started a non-profit Yoga program for women who are going through active treatment of Cancer. The money part has never been my goal. My intentions are from the heart and my work shows that.
Opening a studio because you can, or because you don't like your job seems a bit strange to me. Although we all have a time and place for our path to present itself.
The YTT influx will pass, but we will be left a few slightly more aware and enlightened individuals in the world. Horay for that!
So don't get mad, get glad, besides somebody has to operate the train and if they happen to have their RYT then it will be a Yoga train. lol
Namaste ॐ
Thanks, Amanda. Can you send me a link for the non-profit your started? email@example.com
Right on. So great to see Yoga grow and flow…
Here's hoping there's an Increasing Demand for Yoga Poetry…
Word. Peace.
After nearly 10 years of yoga practice, including a regular home practice, I was considering teacher training. I needed a new career, and yoga was the most important and valuable thing in my life. So, why not become a yoga teacher? Fortunately, I couldn't afford the YTT program I wanted to attend. I say fortunately because I now know it would have been a lousy investment. First of all, not only is teaching yoga far from being a surefire road to financial success, but also, I'd be a terrible yoga teacher! I've had some wonderful, skillful teachers and some mediocre ones, and one thing that seems clear is that you need to be able to connect with people. You really have to be a people person. I'm a raging introvert, and when I do yoga, I just want to be in my own space. Later, off the mat, yoga helps me handle social interaction with more ease. What I needed was not to become a teacher but to deepen and intensify my own practice. I'm glad I realized that!
I had thought about becoming a step aerobics teacher at one point (years ago).
If I still had good feet and yoga were all the rage, and there were more yoga studios around than Starbucks; and some people were raking in the big bucks and everybody and their younger sister around me were yoga teachers (say, like the situation was with yoga right about last week in the big city I live in), I still would want to be a step aerobics teacher.
Different skill sets entirely—both in the ability to do it and ability to teach it. Although maybe now those classes are in Zumba Step Aerobics, and I'd need to train in yoga on the side to loosen up my ever-stable hips …
Eleanor – I love this story. I love your honesty and probably what the practice has showed you about yourself over the years. Thank you so much for sharing your insight.
It seems to me that the more yoga teachers the better, of any quality! Having a bunch of low-quality teacher out there isn't going to hurt anything… it just means lots of "civilians" with a more advanced yoga knowledge. Many who take the YTTs don't intend on being teachers. Yet some of those end up being quite phenomenal teachers from day one of getting a 200-hr certificate. Students will seek out the best teachers. Just let yoga take over the world… the more the merrier!
Love your work Jessica! I'm not sure that I totally agree with John Friend – I believe if you really feel you want to become a yoga teacher (or any teacher), you should do so (even if others feel you aren't 'ready' or if you haven't had enough 'practice' or even if there's no 'demand') – perhaps finding out that it takes more than just 'this' is part of one's own journey and one they must go through toward further awareness.

In the Satyananda (Bihar yoga) tradition, a teacher must train and study for 3 years before becoming a teacher. I cannot believe that certifications can be given to teachers after 2 weeks. How can a teacher with this level of training deal with a student with serious complications? There are so many layers to yoga.
I have never heard of a 2-week yoga teacher training certification.
Tanya: there are many like that. They tend to be the combination exotic trip/training. You plunk down lots of money for a teacher training program that takes place in a lovely place like Barbados, Costa Rica, etc. Fun on the beach, deep sea diving and certification to teach yoga! Crazy.
Just posted to "Featured Today" on the Elephant Yoga homepage.
This is such an interesting topic. I think teacher training should have an "in-depth" study option (without all the assisting, perhaps) so that people can go deeper in their practice, but not necessarily have to do all the requirements for their YA 200 hour registration, for example. I think the Anusara model of immersions, and some of the in-depth studies programs out there, offer a great model for this option. Thanks for the great interview.
Just posted to "Popular Lately" on the Elephant Yoga homepage.
I think it's natural to want to share yoga with others when it has completely changed your life for the better. I am beginning my yoga teacher training soon, after several years of practice. Although I may never teach (and never plan to teach full time), I'm so excited about the experience to go deeper and learn more. In many areas of the country, you won't find special workshops, masterclasses, or immersions on a regular basis, and books can only take you so far. I understand that the huge influx of new teachers might make teaching yoga as a career a very competitive situation, but it seems to me like the talented, experienced teachers will attract students.
It is obviously not very well thought out for someone to come to yoga with the intention of teaching to make money and quit their day job, especially when they don't have well developed personal practices. However, I see little harm in taking a teacher training program taught by experienced teachers in order to learn more about yoga and possibly share your experiences with others one day. As a hopeful teacher, these articles kind of make my stomach sink, as if the window of opportunity for teaching yoga has now closed or that yoga belongs only to those who were certified years ago or those who have no intention of teaching with strong personal practices.
the truth is that the commercialism of yoga creates a lot of contradictions in trying to respect the tradition of yoga in its more classical form. the connection between teacher (guru) and student is central to any practice of yoga. the role of the teacher in working with a student through a lifetime of learning is precious. Short (intensive) teacher trainings tend not to encourage that long-term guidance in the study of yoga in the 8-limbs. In these TTs the focus is only on the physical practice of asana.
What an interesting conversation to hear and contemplate from my jungle retreat in Costa Rica. I just finished leading a 21 day Yoga Teacher Training here, gradutating 10 amazing Yoga TEACHERS! It has been interesting to hear many diverse views about Yoga teachers and certifications, and what constitutes good yoga and good teachers.
I, too, began leading 200 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings for many reasons in my NC studio in 2002. 1) Our studio needed more teachers, 2)Financially, it supported our studio, so that the rest of the community could enjoy classes that were not jam-packed, and we could keep the lights on at the same time, 3) Energetically, the passion of the teacher training courses could be felt through the studio, and helped to ignite interest and creativity 4) I surprisingly love teaching teachers! So much so, that I closed my studio to focus 100% on educating Yoga teachers and professionals.
In the past year and a half of predominantly leading 21 day Yoga Teacher Training immersions, I agree that it is a huge challenge to get "everything" in through the duration of the 3 week course of study. There are drawbacks, just as completing a teacher training in weekend formats, there will be drawbacks, too. I have found from being both a student and a teacher in both types of curricula, each can offer such great insights into the practice of yoga. I will have to disagree with a previous statement that the short-term immersion programs only focus on the physical and asana. In fact, living in a retreat center 24/7 with all of my students, eating all meals for 3 weeks, navigating the elements and energy of a jungle scene offer many opportunities to visit the subtler realms of the practice. This is why I choose to teach in this way.
I fondly recall my very first teacher training, where I didn't have much of a physical practice at the time, and I was entering Yoga through the world of the physical. I am so grateful that I was offered the opportunity to walk through that door. It changed my life, and the lives of many others. It was the doorway into spirit, but I had to enter that door to be the student and the teacher I am today.
I am humbled to be a constant student and teacher, and learn from each person who walks with me. I feel as though we are all so blessed to have so many options of studying, practicing and teaching so that we see the strand that connects us all.
I am thrilled that we all have so many choices of how to practice; whether we choose to reflect in Adho Mukha Svanasana, or my current favorite, "rocking chair in the jungle rain asana."
Pura Vida!
As a Visual Artist & Certified Anusara Yoga teacher, I understand the yearning to commit your life to doing something you feel passionately about. Some of us are taken by surprise by the desire to become yoga teachers, like I was, and others know from the beginning that it is their calling. There will always be people who romanticize it or who think they want to devote their lives to it, then change their mind once they get a taste of the challenges (intellectual, spiritual, & financial) it entails. But this isn't wrong in any way – we're just all testing the waters & finding our places in the world.
I love that Anusara requires Immersions prior to Teacher Training – I've taught them & watched the transformation that people experience in a small intense setting, in which there is no obligation or expectation to become a teacher. I find that the Immersion is a clarifier for many of these people. Some opt to take TT afterward & others don't. Becoming a Certified Anusara Teacher takes years of work, study, and dedication. It is impossible for it to be a whim, which I believe is healthy. Certification is a true accomplishment, yet we all know that we are lifelong students – so much to learn.
On a final note, I believe there are many ways to teach – please check out http://www.facebook.com/akashaproject & http://www.lineageproject.org/ – both organizations bring yoga to underserved communities & create truly positive change. Once woman in my Spring Immersion took it so that she could learn enough to bring yoga to the hearing-impaired community in which she works. Totally inspiring!
[…] John Friend on the economics of teaching Yoga. Part I: "Supply and Demand" […]
I cleaned a studio every week for 2 1/2 years…I practiced nearly every day…sometimes twice a day. I had no intention of teaching. I loved the karmic exchange of 2-3 hrs of labor I gave the studio to make it clean every week for the students for the opportunity to attend classes. It was my way of creatively financing yoga classes with a limited budget. One day the teacher overslept and the students asked me to teach. I was so nervous, but I did. A passion was unleashed. That was 6 yrs ago, a 200 hour Pranakriya (kripalu lineage began by Yoganand, who lived as a yogic monk in kripalu for nearly 2 decades and studied with Swami Kripalu directly) certification, a couple of 100 hr hot yoga certifications, some kids' yoga trainings, and a few trainings towards my 500 hr certification with an emphasis on yoga therapy. And I still feel like I am in the beginning of my journey.
I really appreciate your thoughts, Lisa – I, too, had a strong practice without any intention to teach & it was 9-11 that really compelled me toward a teacher training – a real reordering of my priorities. My TT was prior to the creation of Immersions, so I actually did do it to "deepen my practice." I was shocked to find myself falling in love with teaching. almost 10 years later, I am still amazed & grateful. And, like you, I see how sweetly endless my journey will be!
What I love that John said is that he never made being a teacher his goal the true teachers become teachers as a natural byproduct of their own practice it's Dharmic. Just as Byron Katie and Echart Tolle never sought out to be teachers they became teachers as a direct result of their own awakening which is the powerful force (not a teacher training) which attracted people to them and which took many years of integration before they even began to speak of their experience to others (Tolle spent 2 years on park benches) which then again took many years to unfold, Tolle started out with a few people in someone's living room at their request. The true teachers that become "great" become so as a byproduct of something else. The key and mystery is to find what that something else is. I have new respect for John Friend knowing a lot of what is said about him and around him but not hearing firsthand his own account of his stepping into the role it is obvious that it was natural progression. And the sea of faces that come to see him is testament that it is not something you can "plan" just as Tolle and Katie have vast followings and have made a huge impact on the raising of consciousness on the planet without "trying" or planning to do that it unfolded naturally. The true path to "greatness" is always effortless (although requiring lot of effort along the way… if you know what I mean :))
Why make the studio nameless? Name it, plus john friend sucks. Ask John Friend who taught him, he wont tell you Iyengar, ask John Friend how many bridges he has burned. The guy sucks.
Because I still patronize them (in their Boutique only, never a class or a workshop), that's why.
Because the founder tried to trademark his proprietary style (neither an Anusara nor Iyengar derivate; more like a Jiva derivate) and did not build that empire therefrom, that he had hoped to build.
Because … I want to protect the names of the innocent who teach THERE but also at multiple venues, from whom there is an off-chance I may … (as in the very merry month of NEXT May) take a class …. and not expose the names of the guilty who will continue to teach there and that harsh, slow-moving, torturous, bendy and rococo style …
I don't need to send them any more business …
And they know I left them for a different practice with also an 8-limbed approach, but not into churning out the teachers in certificate-mill fashion.
Criticism is welcome. Name-calling is not. Do yourself the respect you deserve by fully articulating your genuine concerns. I've interviewed John several times, and he's talked openly and respectful and honestly and gratefully about studying with Iyengar.

One of the least attractive legacies of Barack Obama will be the way he empowered freshman senators to believe they were only one or two good speeches away from the presidency.
Right now, the show horses of the U.S.Senate are Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida. All are preparing for a 2016 presidential bid. All are making visits to Iowa. They're the new faces of the Republican Party.
Really, really new. The three of them have an average age of 45 and an average tenure in Washington of 1.9 years.
And all three are in the news for their efforts to get Republicans to promise not to vote to fund the government this fall unless the president cancels Obamacare.
"I think it's the dumbest idea I've ever heard," said Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, speaking on behalf of a large number of Republicans who regard the idea of shutting down the government with horror and who are never going to be mentioned in a Quinnipiac presidential poll.
Rubio, Cruz and Paul weren't the first senators to promote the shutdown idea. But they're the ones with the national names, in a party that's got a crush on crazy.
They're very different. Marco Rubio is a Cuban-American with a background in Florida politics who keeps bouncing and hedging in a desperate attempt to look like a bipartisan statesman who is — wait! wait! — also a right-wing true believer. He was a key negotiator behind the Senate immigration reform bill, which he now says he will not lobby for in the House. Ted Cruz is a Cuban-American with a background in law whose father used to tell him, "You know, Ted, you have been gifted above any man that I know, and God has destined you for greatness." Rand Paul is the libertarian son of former Rep. Ron Paul with a background in ophthalmology.
Paul and Cruz in particular tend to drive other Republican senators nuts. We probably have them to thank for the return of the pre-2008 version of John McCain, who would rather be anyplace than in a party caucus listening to Ted Cruz give a speech.
Asked by the New Republic whether he would support Rand Paul or Hillary Clinton for president, McCain laughed and said, "It's gonna be a tough choice." Actually it wouldn't. If Rand Paul got nominated for president, McCain would be the honorary national chairman of Republicans for Hillary.
The ones who aren't irate are terrified. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, is a clubhouse sort of guy, but he's trying desperately to get renominated without a right-wing primary opponent. So far, Cornyn has signed onto the letter promising to go along with the government shutdown threat, taken his name off the letter and then burrowed into the ground, where he will emerge in September, unless he sees his shadow.

European Indoor Championships: Paula Radcliffe criticises selection
Paula Radcliffe has criticised new British Athletics head coach Peter Eriksson for failing to pick any male 1500m runners in his 29-member squad for next month's European Indoor Championships in Sweden.
"Totally ridiculous," the women's marathon world record holder tweeted.
The 1500m runners overlooked
Charlie Grice, 19, achieved the qualifying standard of 3 minutes 42.00 seconds when finishing 9th at the British Grand Prix in Birmingham on Saturday, but only finished 3rd at the trials in Sheffield the previous weekend.
Chris O'Hare, 22, tops the British rankings and is ranked third in Europe this year, but did not compete at the trials.
Eriksson argues his focus is on beating the eight medals won at the same meeting in Paris two years ago.
"None of the 1500m guys are top-six potential," the Swede, 60, said.
"The first page and the first sentence on the selection criteria is that we will be selecting only top-six potential. We follow the criteria that was determined quite a while ago."
The squad is the first to be named by Eriksson since he officially took over from Charles Van Commenee in December.
Van Commenee stepped down as UK Athletics head coach when Team GB fell two short of his own target of eight athletics medals at the London 2012 Olympics.
Eriksson is confident that a team captained by defending women's 800m champion Jenny Meadows can beat the medal haul from two years ago.
"I want us to do well and I think we have a team that can do really well. I am positive," he said.
The championships take place in Gothenburg from 1-3 March, and Meadows will be joined in the squad by Holly Bleasdale, Robbie Grabarz, Dwain Chambers and Christine Ohuruogu.

If you live in New York, or watch the news from time to time, you might have heard about SoulCycle. I first starting hearing about it early last year since a few beauty blogger and publicist friends of mine were (and still are) addicted. From there, it infiltrated my work space and a few coworkers got hooked. Straight up O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D!
Let me give you a brief history on my relationship with exercising: I don't. Plain and simple. I had a brief love affair with Zumba (still love it actually but had a falling out with New York Sports Club) but I'm not one to work out – not on my own at least. Heading into Soul, I was nervous (but excited!) because if you've ever spoken to a SoulCycle advocate they convince you that it'll change your life.
And I'm always down to change my life (#FixMyLife)
Custom beats headphones. Cray.
ZOMG! Now that I've survived my first class (#AttentionHasSoul) my body is confused. STRAIGHT UP LOST! Throughout the ride I experienced so many emotions – happy (I'm doing it!) to angry (how far does this resistance thing go!?!??). At one point, I was in the zone – so laser focused on the music and riding that I lost myself – until my leg almost gave out and I had a brief moment of panic (I'm dying!). Sure I might have mumbled some not so nice things under my breath every time she told us to turn our knob thing a quarter of an inch (seriously — how many inches were there?) BUT at the end I felt great! Tired, for sure, but somewhat energized.
And then I bought a makeup case, because, OBVIOUSLY.
I mean…
Would I do it again? YES – why not! Maybe not every week (#TeamLazyPants) but why not work on my fitness every now and then? If you wanna try it out, give it a go. It's not intimidating and no one's yelling in your face. It's 100% motivational (and, let's be honest, you can take it easy on yourself). I know damn sure at one point I boycotted and sat square in my seat while Biggie played in the background. Right now, SoulCycle is available in the East and West Coasts. Madison was my instructor and she was amazing.

The Government of Canada is committed to helping prevent of all forms of violence against women and girls. To this end, on October 13, 2012, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced support, in the amount of $18.5 million (2013-2017), to help in the fight against sexual and gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He made the announcement on the margins of the 14th Summit of La Francophonie in Kinshasa, DRC.
Sexual and gender-based violence is a devastating problem in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Fight Against Impunity and Support to Survivors of Sexual Violence Project in the DRC will help fight impunity by increasing access to justice in underserved areas, establishing appropriate mechanisms to investigate sexual crimes and prosecute offenders, and building the capacity and independence of judicial personnel. The initiative will also increase the involvement of communities in preventing sexual and gender-based violence and help build the capacity of government and civil society organizations to meet the medical, legal, psychosocial and vocational training needs of victims. Particular areas of focus include North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri district of Orientale Province, Bandundu and Kinshasa.
The initiative, which is funded by the Canadian International Development Agency's bilateral program, builds upon the Government of Canada's strong track record in helping address sexual and gender-based violence in the DRC. For instance, as a result of Canadian support in the amount of $18 million to the United Nationals Population Funded Fight Against Sexual Violence Project, more than 55,000 survivors of sexual violence accessed medical and psychosocial care, 15,000 received skills training and 5,000 received legal assistance between May 2007 and March 2012. In addition, more than 11,000 Congolese parliamentarians, provincial and local territorial leaders were lobbied for support. The Fight Against Sexual Violence Project is managed by the United Nations Population Fund and United Nations Children's Fund and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, together with Congolese non-governmental organizations and selected Congo government departments.
The Government of Canada also works with the Centre canadien d'étude et de coopération internationale to support women's groups across eastern DRC and in neighbouring Rwanda and Burundi, to fight violence against women through a seven-year, $13.5 million regional project (2010-2017).
This initiative supports the Government of one of Canada's international assistance thematic priorities by ensuring that children and youth, particularly girls, are protected from violence, exploitation and abuse.

Fiat Yamaha's Valentino Rossi held off a furious last-lap charge from teammate Jorge Lorenzo to win his fourth race of the season, today's victory coming before nearly 100,000 fans at the Sachsenring in the former East Germany.The race at the front was waged among Rossi and Lorenzo, with Ducati Marlboro's Casey Stoner and Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa more of a threat in the first half than the second.Rossi led until lap seven when Stoner came through in turn 13. But it was Rossi back in front with a pass in the same corner on the 17th lap. Lorenzo took second place in turn one on lap 18 while Stoner soon had to fend off a late charge from Pedrosa.Pedrosa set the fastest lap of the race on the 25th and came through on Stoner in turn one. A lap later Stoner ran wide in turn 13, losing two seconds and third and fourth were set.Pedrosa said at the beginning he thought he had the pace to win, but those hopes faded "because after like seven or eight laps I lost the front in the last corner. I almost crashed and then I was back in fourth place. I couldn't ride my bike at the maximum. I was all the time scary about the front. So as I get slower on my lap times, the front feeling starts to be better."And at the end I start to push again, I passed Casey [Stoner], but as soon as I start to push hard again I start to lose a lot the front. So I think I could do a better race, but finally third place is not so bad, because it looks like my teammate had a really big problem with the front tire, so to be on the podium is good, but I'm a little bit not happy because I didn't ride at the maximum."Repsol Honda's Andrea Dovizioso slowed throughout the race with front tire problems and pitted with five laps to go.Starting the 26th lap Lorenzo took the lead in turn one. Rossi waited until the 29th lap to make another pass in turn one on the 29th lap. Lorenzo tried Rossi on the outside in turn one on the final lap, but failed. And when Lorenzo thought about moving inside Rossi in the popular turn 13 passing area, Rossi defended it.They raced to the line, both setting their personal best lap times, with Rossi winning by .099 of a second. Pedrosa was third, 2.899 seconds behind, with Stoner finishing 10 seconids behind Rossi."So, first of all another fantastic race I think, because another great battle before with [Casey] Stoner and after especially with Jorge [Lorenzo] to the last lap," Rossi said. "All the people in front of the championship are very close for all the race, so was fun, but very tough, because have some overtaking. This time the top drivers' choice was different in the tires, so different behavior of all the bikes."And after half race I was able to overtake Casey and I was faster, but I see that Jorge overtake Casey straight away, so I say, 'Wow, another time.' Is always more difficult fight with Jorge. And in the last laps I try to push a lot, but he was able to overtake. And we arrive to the end; I make my attack. After that I know that in this racetrack is very difficult to overtake, so I try to stay in front and the last lap I was very fast in the crucial point, so is another victory, so important, fourth in the season and another small advantage in the championship, so I'm so happy and I have to thank you Yamaha and all the team because they do a great, great job."Said Lorenzo, "Well, as in Montmelo, we lost the battle, but I think is not a problem. We must be happy, because we are always on the top and improving, is the important thing, no. We are waiting and maybe someday we can win."Rossi now has 176 points to 162 for Lorenzo. Stoner's third with 148 - 40 more than Pedrosa.San Carlo Honda Gresini's Alex De Angelis finished fifth, where he'd spent most of the race alone, with teammate Toni Elias taking sixth from Hayate Racing's Marco Melandri on the last lap to give the Gresini team their best 1-2 finish of the year.Ducati Marlboro's Nicky Hayden finished an eventful day and weekend eighth. Hayden crashed again in practice - he'd also fallen in qualifying - and didn't want to tear up any equipment. His fourth-place starting spot was wasted when he ran into turn one too quickly and got hung out on the outside of the pack, falling almost to the back of the field. He finished the first lap ninth, and, cognizant of his two falls, he was cautious."I knew I needed to get a good start and try to do something," he said. "I got in hot and everybody came up the inside. It was a first turn deal. I lost a lot of positions and a lot of time."Having crashed twice, Hayden said he was "a little tight in the race. I didn't want to destroy another bike and throw away everything we've gained and learned this weekend."He didn't want to apologize for trying too hard."Nonetheless we're on our way. I really believe we've got some good results coming our way soon."Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Colin Edwards was ninth, one better than teammate James Toseland.

What are the dire consequences for not being in control? None, except that your efforts may please you personally, but they will not hang in a gallery or museum. Great works of art are not done by accident. They are created by disciplined minds, driven, passionate, fanatical, sometimes the insane.
Mozart was a genius, but he was also an obnoxious jerk as he was portrayed in the movie, "Amadeus." Yet when it came time to compose, the movie showed him as serious, engrossed in his work. My understanding is that he never erased, or crossed out anything, but his manuscripts were flawless, no corrections, no changes. His music, the notes all flowed from his head onto the paper, whether he was writing a full blown symphony, or a piano concerto.
Beethoven was another genius who wrote most of his works stone deaf! Even his great Ode To Joy, he never ever heard a single note played by an instrument. Yet he was able to hear, listen to ever nuance of sound of each instrument in his mind's ear and coordinate them all into a symphony. Does that not take discipline? Do such great works come about by accident, in a trance? No they do not.
Grand Ma Moses was a great artist. So was Georgia O'Keef. She is one of my favorite painters, with a sense of perspective that is photographic. A very intense worker who hated to be disturbed when painting. Does such dedication not require discipline?
Ever read Van Gogh's biography? Very interesting reading. So is AA's. Most great artists have one thing in common, they work hard as if their life depended on it. When they set out to produce a work in what ever their chosen medium, they slaved until it is exactly the way they wanted it to be.
Try doing that while in a trance.

The new service will allow gamers to upload things like game saves, mouse and keyboard settings, and player profiles to Valve�s servers. The idea is that when you login to your Steam account on another PC your system will automatically set itself up in line with all your previous configurations.
Left 4 Dead will be the first game to support Steam Cloud, with previous releases scheduled to adopt it in the near future. In addition, Valve stated that the service will be available for free to all publishers and developers who wish to include such support in their releases, so hopefully we'll see the system spreading soon enough.

QUESTION: Any plans to stop aid to Malawi? Is the Millennium Challenge Compact at risk?
ANSWER: As we said in our statement, the United States strongly condemns the use of force by Malawian authorities on July 20 to prevent peaceful demonstrations, as well as the ban imposed on all private radio stations reporting on the demonstrations. The U.S. government is deeply concerned by this week's events in Malawi and calls into question the government's commitment to good governance principles as captured by MCC's scorecard. In light of this week's events, MCC is closely monitoring the actions of the Government of Malawi and reviewing MCC operations.

Bank to suggest CO2 levy on jet, shipping fuel
Posted By Matt Ryan On June 5, 2011 @ 2:33 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Gerard Wynn
June 5, 2011
BONN, Germany, June 5 (Reuters) – The World Bank will suggest a global levy on jet and shipping fuel in recommendations to G20 governments later this year on raising climate finance, a senior official said on Sunday.
Developed countries have already written off chances of agreement on a new binding deal at a U.N. conference in Durban this year, placing a new focus on piecemeal efforts including fund-raising.
Binding targets under the Kyoto Protocol cap the greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 40 industrialised countries but expire in 2012 and now look unlikely to be extended in time.

Medal of St Christopher
France, early 20th century AD
St Christopher is unlikely to have existed as a historical figure, but neither this nor his demotion by the Roman Catholic Church in 1969 has diminished his enduring popularity as a patron saint of travellers.
By the fifth century AD,
St Christopher was venerated in part of what is now Turkey, and his
cult subsequently spread throughout Europe. According to the
principal legend that grew up around him, he served Christ by
carrying travellers across a river, on one occasion carrying a
small child who grew heavier as they progressed through the water
and who eventually revealed himself as Christ. The name Christopher
means 'Christ-bearer' in Greek, and from the
thirteenth century the saint was generally portrayed as a bearded
giant carrying an infant Jesus, often steadying himself with a
staff. The belief that looking at his image would sustain
travellers led to his being represented both at a large scale on
exterior walls and at a small scale on medals and
On one side of this medal is a traditional representation of the saint. On the other is a modern mode of transport - an early motor-car - with a French inscription exhorting the holder to 'Look at St Christopher and travel strengthened'.

On CNN today, Jack Cafferty had a guy on who spoke about the national campaign against obesity. I offer the following because it parallels the junk science problem we have with smoking and health. I'll only post an excerpt so as to not get into a copyright hassle. The url for the full transscript is http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/cnnitm.html
Good reading!
CAFFERTY: Do you have what the doctors refer to as a bit of a weight problem? Maybe so or perhaps you're a victim of society's obsession with our own waistlines. Our next guest argues America's obesity scare is a product of those with the most to gain, namely the weight loss industry. Joining us now to talk about this Eric Oliver is the author of "Fat Politics, the Real Story Behind America's Obesity." He's also a political science professor at the University of Chicago. Eric nice to have you with us.
ERIC OLIVER, AUTHOR, "FAT POLITICS, THE REAL STORY BEHIND AMERICA'S OBESITY:" Thanks for having me on.
CAFFERTY: There's a lot for the weight loss companies to work on out there, is it 1/3 of the nation is now obese? I mean, it's really a rather stunning statistic and all you have to do is walk down the sidewalk in New York City. I mean, we're an overweight nation.
OLIVER: Undoubtedly we are a very large nation and a pretty fat nation, but there is a big question about whether we're an obese nation. And a lot of it depends on how we define obesity. Right now the government defines obesity as having a body mass index that is your height to your weight, a ratio of your height to your weight of being 30 or more. So, say, for someone who's six feet tall like myself, that would be 220 pounds, 2/3 of Americans are now overweight because we have a BMI of 25 or more and for someone like myself who's six feet tall, that would be 185 pounds. I'm technically overweight.
WASTLER: Eric I wanted to -- what's fascinating about the story, you're a political scientist right?
OLIVER: That's right.
WASTLER: And not a doctor, yet you're fighting on the doctor things. Can you tell our audience a little bit about how you got into this? Because I think it sort of opens up the crux of your argument.
OLIVER: Sure. When I first starting writing this book, I like most people assumed that obesity and overweight were major health problems and I was interested in the politics of this. What it would it mean for the government basically to put everyone on a diet, how would this work out. And when I started actually doing the research into this and researching all of the medical health articles linking weight to mortality, I discovered something very interesting. That the scientific evidence there linking weight to all of these adverse health out comes was very really unclear. And so to me, the interesting question became why in light of all of this scientific evidence were the government agencies, were all these public health advocates out there saying that obesity was a disease? And that's where the story got a lot more interesting and the politics got a lot more dark and nefarious.
WESTHOVEN: What do you think is the reaction from the medical community to your argument that obesity isn't the problem it's made out to be?
OLIVER: I get a wide mix of reactions. Some doctors come up and say thank you, this is great. I've been waiting for someone to say that the emperor has no clothes, that this is bogus. Other doctors say oh, you're missing the whole case. In fact, obesity is a disease. It's killing hundreds of thousands of people every year. The mixture is across the board. But it really depends on whether or not someone is selling a weight loss product.
CAFFERTY: Lets go back to phrase you used a minute ago a dark and nefarious. I like that a lot, what are you talking about?
OLIVER: Well like take for example our current standards of what is over weight and obese? The current standards come largely from the origination called the International Obesity Task Force. They're based in Britain would seem like a legitimate scientific organization, but it's largely a front for a couple of pharmaceutical companies that make weight loss products. It's a sort of pseudo scientific organization that is out there advocating sort of obesity as a problem in the name of increasing the importance relative to, I think, an agenda of the pharmaceutical industry.
WASTLER: Go ahead.
OLIVER: In the United States there's an organization called the American Obesity Association and this is an origination that you'd think they'd have lots of, you know, obese people, but it has very few obese people, it's largely a front for the weight loss industry. They've been very active at lobbying the government for example to get obesity classified as a disease, to get weight loss surgery, make it tax deductible through the IRS and get the government to increase funding and attention towards obesity as a health problem largely in order to subsidize the weight loss industry.

NEW YORK, NY – Wheels are down on the East Coast - a place where the Chiefs have struggled in recent years.
In the past six seasons, the Chiefs are just 3-18 (.143) in the Eastern Time Zone. The last victory was a 28-24 win over the Colts on October 9th. It marked the first time Kansas City had ever won in Indianapolis.
"We're going on the road, to a hostile environment, much like last week and it may be amped up a little more because it is one of the biggest of big cities and there's always some distraction and hoopla that goes with that," head coach Todd Haley said.
Distraction and hoopla aside, December football is among us with both the Chiefs and Jets feeling they need to win-out in order to reach the postseason.
Let's Take Five…
1) < 100 Yards Rushing
Fred Jackson remains the only opposing running back to rush for more than 100 yards against the Chiefs defense this season. That occurred in Kansas City's Opening Day loss to Buffalo.
In New York's seven wins this season, QB Mark Sanchez has taken a backseat to the Jets rushing attack. Jets ball carriers have totaled 777 rushing yards (111 avg. yards per game) in its seven wins, but just 428 rushing yards in its five losses (85.6 avg. yards per game).
Surprisingly, the Jets have just one 100-yard rusher this season. Shonn Greene did it in an October 23rd victory over San Diego when he rushed for 112 yards on 20 carries.
But going all the way back to the 2009 season, when Sanchez was selected as a first-round draft pick, the Jets have averaged 157.9 rushing yards per game in the 26 games Sanchez has won as a starting quarterback.
The Jets offensive recipe for victory has been simple with Sanchez under center. When they can run, they win.
2) Finishing Drives
Go back to the Chiefs Monday Night Football loss to New England, in
The next week against Pittsburgh, the Chiefs crossed the Steelers' 50-yard line four times but settled for three field goals.
Last week in Chicago, Kansas City possessed the football in Bears territory on three drives and came away with 10 points.
That's a combined 15 drives in opponent territory the past three games that have produced only one touchdown. That touchdown, of course, came on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half in Chicago.
"We figured out pretty well how to move the ball from 20 to 20 so now our mission this week is to be a little bit more efficient, a lot more efficient from the 20 in," offensive coordinator Bill Muir said. "It's just a matter of doing a better job of calling plays and executing."
Struggles in the scoring zone have caused the Chiefs to score 10 points or fewer in five straight games, which is the fourth-longest single-season streak in the past 20 years. The 1993 Indianapolis Colts hold the all-time NFL record with seven straight games of scoring 10 points or less.
On the other sideline, the Jets have the NFL's highest Red Zone touchdown percentage this season. New York has converted 67.6% (25/37) of its Red Zone visits into touchdowns.
3) Sack Attack!
What's gotten into these guys?
After struggling to produce just 9.0 sacks through the first nine games of the season, Kansas City has seen a pass rush revival. The Chiefs have tallied 11.0 sacks over the past three games, which ranks 3rd in the NFL.
Doing so has caused Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Caleb Hanie to post some of their lowest single-game passing marks this season.
The Chiefs 7.0 sacks against the Bears last Sunday were the most the team has produced since a seven-sack performance against the Rams in 2002. Rookie
Houston was one sack shy of tying an NFL rookie single-game record. Washington's Brian Orakpo (12/13/09 at Raiders) and Buffalo's Cornelius Bennett (12/27/87 at Eagles) each posted four-sack games as rookies.
"It helps when you have somebody opposite Tamba (Hali) that can generate some pressure," said defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel. "That will force teams to reevaluate how they're going to protect against us."
Hanie finished with three interceptions and a 23.8 passer rating last week.
4) Points Off Sanchez
Jets QB Mark Sanchez has been turnover prone all season, giving the football away 16 times this year already. Those 16 giveaways have led to opponents scoring a league-high 66 points (nine touchdowns and one field goal).
Most of Sanchez's struggles have come in the first three quarters of play, where he owns a 75.5 passer rating this season. With that said, he's also one of the NFL's best fourth quarter quarterbacks, turning in a 96.8 passer rating in the fourth quarter this year.
Last week, Sanchez helped the Jets put away the Redskins with 21 fourth quarter points. Sanchez didn't turn the ball over in last week's win at Washington either.
5) Kickoff Coverage
With the Chiefs struggling to score offensive points, kickoff coverage and starting field position becomes much more important.
The Jets own the NFL's best average starting position after kickoffs in 2011, beginning drives at their own 27.1-yard line on average. The NFL average is the 22.1-yard line.
New York also owns the NFL's second-most drives (24) starting in opponent territory.
Kansas City did a nice job last week containing All-Pro return man Devin Hester. If Joe McKnight (elbow) is able to play this week, the job will be equally as difficult. McKnight leads the NFL with a 32.4-yard kickoff return average including one return score.
The Chiefs' special teams units have answered the bell thus far, permitting just one kickoff return of 30 or more yards. Kansas City leads the league with a 19.9-yard kickoff return average against in 2011.

A film about our lost collective music experience told through the insane but true story of Rhino Records, the maverick store and label Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on August 3, 2012.
A film about our lost collective music experience told through the insane but true story of Rhino Records, the maverick store and label
About this project
"Go to Rhino Records on Westwood Boulevard…" – Wild Man Fischer.
"Rhino Resurrected" is the iconoclastic story of a ramshackle little record store that became a hub of hardcore music misfits, a launching pad for influential music careers, and a groundbreaking and irreverent record label revered by music lovers worldwide. The inspiration for the film came in spring of 2010 when the founder of Rhino, Richard Foos, opened a "pop-up" record store that aimed to re-create the "Rhino" vibe and quickly turned into a celebration of and elegy for a music culture that's all but lost.
Walking into that Rhino pop-Up store, after the record business finally and completely imploded, I felt an urgent sense of longing for the music community we all once shared so jadedly and passionately at our local record stores. As I interviewed and observed all the energized patrons - some famous music and film folk, many just classic record geeks returning to their roots, not only did a story of a lost collective music culture emerge but an "incredibly strange" yarn about a dirty cluttered record store that became one of the most beloved record labels of all time and launched hundreds of careers blew my mind. Following this two-week extravaganza, I recruited very skeptical ex-Rhino Sam Epstein to join me on a quest to interview all the magical people you'll see in the film. With no budget, I've utilized every skill in my arsenal to make this film happen (including the kindness of many talented people including YOU) and I can't wait for the world to hear the once in a lifetime, stranger than fiction legend of the beautifully warped Rhino Records.
The completely independent feature documentary features a bizarre treasure trove of unearthed archive footage, blazing live performances, and funny and surprising new interviews from all the colorful record maniacs and musicians who made Rhino the special place it was. Including Dr. Demento, Richard Thompson, Nels Cline, William Stout, Peter Case, Little Willie G and thee Midnighters, Temple City Kazoo Orchestra and so much more! The film has been enthusiatically received at Allison Anders "Don't Knock the Rock!" Festival, the 2012 Santa Barbara Int'l Film Festival, won Best Feature Documentary at the 2012 Oxford Film Festival and there's a lot of exciting stuff coming up if we can make this Kickstarter happen!
Because this project is so close to being released it hurts! I need a budget to pay for the remaining music and footage, original score, mix and color correct. That's it! But an expensive "it", so I need your help and appreciate anything you can give. This film was fueled by the passion of the amazing people I met through the Rhino pop-up store and I hope to share that passion with music lovers everywhere. These rewards all relate to the "Rhino" ethos in fun ways - I can't wait to give them away. Please remember this $22,000 is the bare minimum I need to make this happen, the more funding we get the more music I can keep in the film and the more great elements can be added in the finishing process. STAY TUNED FOR MORE GREAT AND UNIQUE REWARDS AND VIDEO AS THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES!!
I heard about the pending Rhino Records "pop-up" store on a tip from a musician friend and stopped by soon after to see what was happening. From the second I walked into the chaotic half empty box-filled dirty grey-carpeted space, I knew there was a story to tell! I immediately borrowed a friend's camera and asked permission of the dogged "architect" of the whole affair, Sam Epstein, if I could start filming. Little did I know how interesting the story actually was… Growing up in Pittsburgh Los Angeles felt like a very foreign place, but my friends and I were all avid listeners and tape traders of the immortal Dr. Demento show broadcast from under the smogberry trees in Southern California. My impressionable 13 year old mind listened to the Doctor speak of an entity called Rhino Records that seemed to be responsible for many of the twisted songs I was hearing: Fisheads, Pencil Neck Geek, My Name is Larry, and I always had a soft spot in my heart for it. When I finally moved, sight unseen, to this mythical land of Ed Wood films and fractured dreams in the late 90s – I was very pleased to discover there was a REAL Rhino Records operating (quite busily) right here on Westwood Blvd steps from my apartment! I became a customer, was sad to see it go in the mid 2000s, and owned many of the stellar compellations and re-issues on their booming record label - but who knew the amazing history and people behind such an endeavor.
DIRECTOR/EDITOR/CO-CINEMATOGRAPHER, KEITH SHAPIRO doesn't like to take NO for an answer so he continues to make the films that he wants to see on passion fueled budgets. A lifetime lover of music and film, he decided it would be best to combine the two. Growing up under the grey but nurturing skies of Pittsburgh, PA he went west to Los Angeles in the booming late 90s and liked what he saw. He's worked steadily as a director, editor, writer, and producer on just about every imaginable genre since. An incredible love of music and history bleeds through each frame of his second feature, "Rhino Resurrected", a film that will surprise and delight audiences worldwide
PRODUCER/CO-CINEMATOGRAPHER, SAM EPSTEIN has traversed the radio, concert, print, film, video and digital mediums. He has worked within multi-million dollar budgets to guerilla independents. Highlights include assisting Robert Altman and John Schlesinger, the Emmy-winning Hill Street Blues, LA Law and Tracy Takes On television series, and Grammy-winning Michael Jackson videos. Sam also played a key role in reviving the legendary Ashgrove club and he created Retrospecs "DVD Docu-Cards" blending history, art and commerce. His self-shot '89 video of Nirvana: No Autographs, No Encores – Live at Rhino is a classic time capsule of band on the brink of super-stardom and he is still active directing, producing, and shooting docs, music videos and films.
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, BILL FISHMAN created Fallout Entertainment in 1984 as an independent production company set up to produce his own music videos and later feature films, and ever since has been dedicated to challenging the great James Brown for the rights to the epithet, "the hardest working man in show business." He directed the cult classic "Tapeheads" starring John Cusack and Tim Robbins and has directed 100s of your favorite music videos. Bill's last feature "My Dinner With Jimi", a film about a particularly raucous night during 1967 spent in London with The Turtles, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles won best feature film at the Asheville Film Festival.

by Shakespeare, William
Publisher:Arden Shakespeare
One of Shakespeare's finest history plays, Richard II deals with one of the most sensitive and politically explosive issues of its day--the rights and wrongs of deposing a legitimately appointed king. Forerunner to the two parts of Henry IV, the play deals with the abdication of King Richard II in 1399, the subsequent succession of Bolingbroke, the future King Henry IV, and Richard's death in the spring of 1400. But the play has been celebrated above and beyond its stature as historical drama. Richard II begins with a portrait of Richard as a pompous, arrogant and self-regarding sovereign, with little sense of his people or his political responsibilities. As he consistently miscalculates in his attempts to destroy Bolingbroke, and watches his own power wane, he becomes a far more appealing, Hamlet-like figure, more interested in "talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs", and "sad stories of the death of kings". Richard's speeches become increasingly lyrical and poetic as his supporters desert him, until he finally takes on the stature of the pilloried Christ in the climax of the play, the deposition scene, one of the most politically risky scenes in all of Shakespeare. The play remains most famous for John of Gaunt's "This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle" speech, but historians believe that the play was also performed in the streets of London in 1601 in support of the Earl of Essex's attempt to depose Elizabeth I. Whilst the plot failed, it showed the power of the theatre of the time, and the politically controversial nature of Shakespeare's play. --Jerry Brotton

Misao Okawa from Japan has been awarded the record title for World's Oldest Woman, at 114 years old.
Okawa is soon to be 115 years old, as her birthday is March 5. She was born in 1898, and claims to never have experienced major health issues, except breaking her leg when she was 102 years old.
The supercentenarian got married in 1919, and had three children, outliving one of them. The other two are in their nineties themselves, writes The Guardian Express, and have given her four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
The oldest person in the world is also a resident of Japan. As I told you in December 2012, 115-year-old Jiroemon Kimura lives in Kyotango, near Kyoto. He has a large family which includes 4 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren.

Re: Hybrid method of imaging DFI
As the lead author on the paper entitled, Indexing Severity of Diabetic Foot
Infection With 99mTc-White Blood Cell Single Photon Emission Computed
Tomography/Computed Tomography, published in Diabetes Care 35:1826-1831, 2012, I would like to emphasize the following:
1) Contrary to the statements above, the target to background ratio of Tc WBC is exceptionally high. This has been documented by other investigators quoted in our paper.
2) We performed 2-hour delay imaging specifically to differentiate WBC accumulation in focal infection as opposed to transient reactive hyperemia. This was quite effective and we frequently visualized intense focal uptake in gauze packing within the infected ulcer as well as the ulcer itself.
3) The spatial resolution of this hybrid technique exceeds that of convential MRI for defining cortical surfaces and (by several times) that of convential nuclear medicine infection imaging.
4) Most importantly, although we were clearly able to localize infection to bone or soft tissue, we found that inclusion of other factors, such as grading the intensity of WBC activity, significantly enhanced prediction of successful therapy, thus the superiority of the Composite Severity Index (CSI) over the conventional paradigm.

Ms. DiTullio's fourth-grade students at Allapattah Flats are hatching duck eggs to extend the third nine weeks' science curriculum on animal reproduction and growth. The class has two different incubators with 33 duck eggs total including both Call and Pekin ducks. Students will be responsible for checking the humidity and temperature of both incubators and adjusting them as necessary. They will also candle or look inside the eggs using a flashlight to keep track of the growing duck embryos.
Allapattah Flats kindergarten students enjoyed connecting literature across the curriculum. After reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," by Eric Carle, the students learned sequencing, days of the week, and the butterfly life cycle. Students will proudly display their work on the kindergarten bulletin board. Pictured are, left to right, Jacob Garcia, Sariya Brown, and Jayden Stoveall showing off their creativity in their projects.
Fourth-graders at Allapattah Flats K-8 have been working together on social studies projects based on Florida history. They spent time researching their topic, as well as creating a timeline and poster board, complete with a description, pictures and an oral presentation. From left, Riley Franklin, Gabriella Maimone, Alexis Allen, and Chyna Nazario proudly display their work.
Students Zarah Gampp and Taylor Brennan, in Ms. Wendy Portillo's sixth-grade reading class at Allapattah Flats K-8, read in a cozy corner of the room. Students are encouraged to routinely read independently upon completion of their classwork. Way to go Zarah and Taylor!
Allapattah's first-graders were treated to a special event after studying animals in science. Cheryl Wise from Busch Wildlife Sanctuary educated first-graders about Florida wildlife and habitats. Students were able to visit with several animals from skunks and opossums to alligators and owls. Pictured left to right are Andre Hayle, Angelica Maldonado, Jaydin White, Enrique Mojica, and Courtney Waithe as they anxiously wait their turn to touch the Bofu frog.

|Avery County Sheriff's Office Arrests Two for Sexual Offense Charges
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Wednesday, 17 June 2009 05:32
Avery County Sheriff Kevin Frye said his office arrested two residents on sexual offense charges.
Frye said 55-year-old Alfred Fogel, of Banner Elk, was arrested on June 5 because he failed to register as a sex offender. Frye explained Fogel didn't comply with the 10-day period to register a change of address as required by North Carolina Law.
Frye also said 25-year-old Manuel Sandobal was arrested on Saturday, June 13, with felony indecent liberties with a minor and possession of marijuana.
