Before Stephen Grace began writing, he backpacked throughout Africa and Asia, and he worked as a deckhand on Mississippi riverboats, a whitewater rafting guide, a neuropsychology research assistant, a skiing and snowboarding instructor, a youth counselor, a social worker, and a volunteer firefighter and ambulance driver. While caretaking a house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where T.S. Eliot lived, he studied novel writing with Stratis Haviaras, founding editor of Harvard Review.
Stephen's first novel, Under Cottonwoods, was a BookSense 76 selection and an Emerging Writers Network "Best of 2004″ book.
To write about the historical cartography of Colorado, Stephen worked with Library of Congress curators and with Vincent Virga, called "America's foremost picture editor." While researching China, Stephen sought out experiences ranging from teaching English in Henan to trail running in Tibet, and he explored and photographed Shanghai as it was transformed into a hypermodern metropolis for the 2010 World Expo. In order to write about the water crisis in the American West, he traversed the mountains and plains west of the 100th meridian and studied the strange language of western water.
Stephen is currently working on three books: a coming-of-age novel set in Missouri; an examination of the past, present and future of energy development in the American West; and an exploration of renegade philanthropy efforts in Africa.
Under Cottonwoods (Lyons Press, 2004)
"In his first novel, Grace writes with a lyrical power, celebrating the healing power of the human spirit set free in the wilds." —Los Angeles Times
"I read Under Cottonwoods with my thirteen-year-old son and we both loved it–he for the fishing action, I for the novel's flawed, searching, and wholly sympathetic characters. Stephen Grace has crafted a humane and hopeful story that will engage both nature lovers and champions of the human spirit." —Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True
It Happened in Denver (TwoDot, 2007)
"By the evidence of this excitement-packed narrative history, Denver has been simply bubbling with major events." —Barnes&Noble
Colorado: Mapping the Centennial State through History: Rare and Unusual Maps from the Library of Congress (Globe Pequot Press, 2009)
"Well-written and organized, Colorado: Mapping the Centennial State through History is an excellent and unique addition to the vast library of works on Colorado history." —Center for Colorado & the West at Auraria Library
Colorado Icons: 50 Classic Views of the Centennial State (Globe Pequot Press, 2009)
Stephen Grace's photography for this project supplied all of the images on this website.
Shanghai: Life, Love and Infrastructure in China's City of the Future (Sentient Publications, 2010)
"Stephen Grace has a love affair with Shanghai, and he portrays it wonderfully. His Shanghai is a charming, thoroughly engaging portrait of a city in motion, full of hopeful people in a megacity that seeks to establish itself as a model of the future. Grace captures Shanghai's spirit mainly through his on-the-street conversations and musings, bringing out (as would a sharp-eyed visitor to New York or Paris) the human side of this enormous and diverse city." —Mel Gurtov, editor-in-chief, Asian Perspective

|Can body surface mapping improve the diagnostic power of standard electrocardiography in effort myocardial ischemia?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3756606 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Limitations of the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram in sensitivity, specificity and information content on the effort induced ischemic process might be partly due to an inadequate sampling of cardiac electrical events. An extensive array of electrodes is an effective way to verify this hypothesis. Actually body surface mapping provides: a 10-15% increase in diagnostic yield mainly in patients with mild coronary artery disease and elusive signs of ischemia in standard leads a very approximate indication of the extent of coronary artery disease a substantial contribution to the identification of the site of ischemia. Regarding the last point, preliminary results of an ongoing study are reported. One hundred and three patients with recent myocardial infarction have been studied by exercise test with simultaneous recording of surface map and Thallium 201 scan. So far in the subset with inferior myocardial infarction (76 patients) three different map patterns corresponding to different ischemic regions (anterior, inferior and posterior) have been identified. In anterior myocardial infarction (27 patients) a characteristic map pattern for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia has been observed, apparently able to discriminate between ischemia and the changes of early repolarization induced by the dyskinesia of the infarcted ventricular wall. In conclusion, electrocardiographic mapping makes a practical contribution to the understanding of ischemia-induced cardiac electrical events.

And now here's a special post for another group of hot tennis players that also don't fit the rules we made earlier.
These players are actually already full grown women who have been among the top players and reached their highest rankings before the beginning of the new millenium, making the news for their looks at the time they were professional players. The list includes many former top-10 players, including a number 1 (Chris Evert), a few Grand Slam titles, lots of WTA titles, Eurosport commentators (Barbara Schett and Annabel Croft) and an incredible amount of beauty from some of the best players of the 70s, the 80s and the 90s who came from places as different and far apart as Austria, South Africa and Argentina.
If anyone knows a few hot tennis players from the Antarctica please let us know!
Born Before The 80s hot tennis players list
These include the argentinian Gabriela Sabatini, the british Eurosport commentator Annabel Croft, the austrian Barbara Schett, the north-american Chris Evert, the south-african Amanda Coetzer and the french Mary Pierce. All of these hot tennis players have reached their best rankings ever before the year 2000.

Slim Electric Double Layer Energy
Category: Science - Tags: Batteries, double layer, electric double layer energy device, Murata
The name seems boastful, but this new technology developed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd and employing technology developed by CAP-XX Ltd. lives up to the name.
In "normal" non-science terms, these new devices are able to catch the electric ions due to physical absorption instead of chemical reactions like those used on regular batteries.
Furthermore, this new device is able to be charged much quicker, and has a wider range of output power, enabling it to be used on short-time peak capacity.
Murata current production capacity is at several hundred of thousand units per month, but it will be increased to a one million a month in 2012.
Are we at the brink of dawn for a new generation of batteries ?

Google files countersuit against BT over patent infringement
updated 11:38 am EST, Thu February 14, 2013
Claims four network-related patents infringed by carrier
Google has countersued UK telecommunications giant British Telecom over the use of our network-related patents. The countersuit is in retaliation over BT's original lawsuit, which claimed Google infringed BT-owned patents in the development of Android, Google Maps, other related services, and also basic search functions.
Four patents owned by Google are claimed to be infringed by BT and its subsidiaries, with the infringed patents covering quality-of-service products and conferencing services over its IP network. Google has listed BT Conferencing, BT Americas, BT INS, and Ipanema Technologies as the infringing parties, with a court in the Central District of California receiving a filing yesterday, and one in the UK receiving one today.
Google spokesperson Niki Fenwick said that the company has "always seen litigation as a last resort, and we work hard to avoid lawsuits," in an e-mail sent to Reuters, continuing "but BT has brought several meritless patent claims against Google and our customers, and they've also been arming patent trolls." A BT spokesperson declined to comment on pending litigation.
The original BT lawsuit, which commenced in December 2011, was issued to a Delaware court, and covered a total of six patents for telecommunications and navigation. The claimed violations were deemed "willful" by BT, and so allowed for triple damages to be potentially awarded, though this was dropped in March in an attempt to accelerate the lawsuit.

We're always trying to grow and develop EERE's Web Standards to make them more useful to the many people who work on EERE. One of the topics people are most interested in is videos—how they're handled on EERE, how they're formatted, and how they're posted. So we have recently released the Technical Standards for Videos on EERE.
The new standards feature the new EERE video skin that is now the new standard on EERE. The skin includes the "click to play" and control buttons that make up the "shell" of a video. The new standards draw attention to this new shell and its capacity for synchronous captioning. You can see the new shell in use in the ITP Super Boiler video.
The page also provides technical guidelines for sizing and formatting your videos, and provides requirements and best practices for videos on EERE. Also covered is a brief explanation of how to write text versions for your videos.
If you have any questions or thoughts about these new standards, or have ideas for other standards that could benefit those working on EERE, please feel free to leave them in the comments.

Selectmen Review, Approve Police, Parks, Highway Dept. Budget RequestsFriday, January 30, 2015 at 9:18 am
In a special meeting Wednesday, January 29, the Board of Selectmen continued the process of reviewing and approving recommendations for a dozen department budget requests, including several of the largest spending proposals tendered by the police, Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments.
Blizzard Warning Issued For Newtown, Region; 'Crippling And Possibly Historic Storm' ApproachingSunday, January 25, 2015
Newtown Public Works crews spent the majority of Saturday working to clear the town's roads of a quick snowstorm that dropped approximately 6-8 inches of snow and a small amount of freezing rain on Newtown before the storm cleared by late morning. Now it looks like the same employees who spent up to 15 hours working on January 24 need to get ready for a second storm, and this one may be very serious. The National Weather Service this afternoon has upgraded a Winter Storm Watch that had included most of Fairfield County to a Blizzard Warning.
Account Transfers Means Winter Maintenance Budgets Back In The BlackFriday, February 14, 2014
Snow and ice have been repeatedly blanketing Newtown since late fall, pushing the Public Works Department's winter maintenance budgets into the red in recent weeks. But a transfer of $116,106 that is expected to be approved by the Legislative Council February 19 will put those well-tapped budget lines back in the black according to Public Works Director Fred Hurley.
Highway Department, Police Warn About Narrower Roadways, Compromised Sight LinesFriday, February 14, 2014
The Newtown Public Works and Police Departments are cautioning Newtown Drivers to continue to drive carefully and slowly as crews continue to work clearing local roadways.
Neither the police nor highway department reported any serious accidents or incidents overnight, although by Friday morning police were dealing with a couple of tractor trailers getting stuck on steep hills.
Storm Bringing More Snow Than Expected, Few Accidents ReportedMonday, February 3, 2014
Sean and Isabelle Caron were enjoying the fresh snow that arrived in Newtown before daybreak Monday, sledding in their front yard. A storm that was to bring a few inches of snow to the region had dropped up to six inches in different areas of town by late afternoon. More snow is forecast for Tuesday night.
$362K Transfers Cover Emergency Repairs, Storm Cleanup Shortfall, Wear And TearThursday, June 6, 2013
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved $361,645 in budget transfers Monday June 3, much of that amount devoted to repairing or restoring town equipment, and covering unbudgeted storm-related costs.
Finance Director Robert Tait told The Bee prior to the meeting that unlike the school district, which maintains both a facilities maintenance and emergency maintenance account, the town uses its contingency fund for emergencies.

A new national business names registration service has replaced the state/territory systems, so that businesses only need to register their name with the single register nationally.
The national business names registration service started on 28 May 2012 and is administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
A good business name will distinguish your business from others, tell people what your business does, be memorable, easy to spell, and fairly short.
Think about what message your name conveys about your business. What does it tell your customers? Will they know what your business does?
You can either use your personal name, or a descriptive name.
Using your own name is the simplest option to choose and there is no requirement to register it in Australia.
If you decide to use a descriptive name you will need to register the name with ASIC. It costs:
Descriptive business names can immediately tell your customers what you do. Combining personal names with descriptive terms is a commonly used technique and can differentiate your business from others.
First, think about which words describe your business. For example, if you're starting a dog washing business, related words are: puppy, canine, man's best friend, pet, bath, shower or pamper.
When you have your list of words, talk to family and friends and check the thesaurus to find synonyms such as bow-wow, fido, flea bag, pooch, clean, shampoo and scrub.
Then start combining words to create something that's catchy. Finding words which have a similar consonant or vowel sound, such as "Pampered Pooches", are easier to remember. Other combinations of words which rhyme or personify your business can also work well.
Your name is a key part of marketing your business. It says a lot about your business so it's worth putting the effort in to get it right. Ask yourself the following questions:

Linebacker Chad Greenway, who has led the Vikings in tackles for five straight seasons, was asked the other day what's the angriest he'd ever seen his coach, the usually even-tempered Leslie Frazier.
Greenway paused for just a moment, then said, "He really doesn't like it when people fight in practice. That's probably the angriest he gets."
Frazier has brought the Vikings back from a 3-13 record in 2011, his first full season, to 9-6 this season. That ties the franchise record for biggest win improvement in one season (the Vikings jumped from 9-7 in 1997 to 15-1 in 1998).
Frazier would get Greenway's vote for NFL coach of the year.
"Obviously, being he's my coach, but more so just looking at the body of work and what he's done in the turnaround," Greenway said. "Six games, and hopefully a seven-game difference from last year, he's got to be in the running, no doubt about that."
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom the Vikings will face Sunday, is the NFL's leading passer with a 106.2 rating. Vikings QB Christian Ponder ranks No. 26 (78.8) among starting quarterbacks -- better, though, than this year's No. 1 draft pick, Indianapolis' Andrew Luck, who is No. 29 (75.6).
What makes Rodgers so effective?
"My opinion is he's so calm and cool in the pocket and keeps plays alive," Vikings rookie safety Harrison Smith said Wednesday, Dec. 26. "He's not a guy who will take off running and panic. He takes off running, but he's still looking downfield and finding a guy to throw to.
Vikings rookie Blair Walsh, who set an NFL record in Houston on Sunday by converting his ninth field goal of at least 50 yards this season, still gets nervous before a kick.
"Everybody gets nervous at this stage -- if you don't, there's something wrong with you," Walsh said Wednesday. "You're confident, but you can feel your nerves at any time. You control it."
"Just confidence -- being so confident in what you do," he said.
Vikings second-year offensive lineman Brandon Fusco, who against Houston had to block Pro Bowl pass rusher J.J. Watt, this week plays against perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Clay Matthews of the Packers.
"Doesn't get any easier," Fusco said. "Everyone in this league is pretty good. You've got to be ready every week to fight, be physical, and get after them."
The difference between Watt and Matthews?
"Size -- Watt's a big guy," he said.
Watt is 6-5, 295 pounds. Matthews is 6-3, 255.
"I describe Clay as a slippery player; he slides, has good moves on the edge to get past the linemen," Fusco said. "He's tough to block."
Sunday's Vikings-Packers game will be big, but not big enough to lure legendary vendor Wally "The Beerman" McNeil back to the Metrodome.
Wally, who hasn't worked a Vikings game at the Dome for two seasons, spends Vikings games these days vending at Sneaky Pete's pub about a half-mile from the Dome.
"No stairs," Wally said Wednesday.
Nor does McNeil, 78, have to tote cases of beer weighing 35 pounds around the Dome. He said he's as happy as ever.
Fox is bringing in Troy Aikman, Joe Buck and Pam Oliver for the Vikings-Packers telecast.
Kevin McHale, the former Timberwolves coach who was in town Wednesday to coach the Houston Rockets against the Wolves, pretty much said Royce White has been out of sight and out of mind.
White, the former Mr. Basketball Minnesota out of Hopkins who was the Rockets' first-round draft pick in June, not only hasn't played in any regular-season games but hasn't been seen much in Houston. Among his issues has been a fear of flying.
White's status with the Rockets?
"That's a good question; I don't know," McHale said. "Royce has kind of been away from us for a while, then I was gone for a while, too. And honestly, to be truthful, he hasn't been around. I just haven't seen him.
"As crazy as it might seem, you're just kind of going with the guys that are there. So your focus is on who's playing."
McHale said he hopes, and would assume, White eventually will be back with the team.
But, he added, "I shouldn't say because I really don't know."
If you don't have a ticket for Sunday's Vikings-Packers game at the Metrodome and you're not willing to grossly overpay, you'll probably be watching on TV.
Tickets with a face value of $10 just to get inside the Dome in a lousy upper-level seat were going for $200, one local broker said Monday.
"With Adrian Peterson going for the (NFL rushing) record, and the Vikings in the playoff hunt, and the game meaningful for both teams, everybody's looking for tickets," the guy said.
That was Peterson in the Vikings' locker room during Wednesday's lunch break playing miniature pool but regularly missing shots. Asked if he was glad he didn't play pool for a living, Peterson said he's much better at the game on a regular-size table.
"I can hold my own," he said.
NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders: "Leslie Frazier should get mentioned for NFL coach of the year."

This paper aims to address the problems low literacy (LL) users face when searching for information online. The first part of this paper summarizes the problems that LL user's face, and establishes a set of design principles for interfaces suitable for LL users. This is followed by a description of how these design principles are mapped to a novel interface for interactive data retrieval. The interface was realized into a working system and evaluated against a traditional web interface for both high literacy (HL) and LL users. The suitability of the designs was analyzed using performance data, subjective feedback and an observational analysis. The findings from the study suggest that LL users perform better and prefer the proposed designs over a traditional web interface.

|Effects of age and aerobic fitness on heart rate recovery in adult men.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22836359 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Physiological aging leads to cardiac autonomic dysfunction, which is associated with the onset and worsening of cardiovascular disease and an increased risk of death. Currently, physical exercise is considered a cardioprotective strategy and more research is needed on its benefit on cardiac autonomic function. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the autonomic control of heart rate in healthy young and middle-aged volunteers with different levels of aerobic fitness. METHODS: The study included 68 volunteers, stratified for age and level of aerobic fitness. Based on aerobic fitness assessed by the submaximal exercise test, subjects were separated into two groups, good fitness and poor fitness. Assessment of cardiac autonomic control was performed based on measurements of heart rate variability at rest and heart rate recovery post-exercise. Analysis of variance with two factors was used to compare the variables investigated. RESULTS: The heart rate variability is significantly lower in middle-aged volunteers than in young individuals, regardless of the aerobic fitness level (p <0.01). Higher levels of aerobic fitness in middle-aged volunteers are associated with earlier post-effort vagal reentry - rate of HR decline after 1min30s: 39.6% good aerobic fitness vs. poor 28.4% (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Better levels of aerobic fitness act beneficially on the autonomic control of post-exercise heart rate, preserving the vagal reentry velocity in healthy middle-aged volunteers. However, it does not attenuate the decrease in heart rate variability due to the natural aging process.

Skimping on sleep a nightmare for memoryComment on this story
London - Without a good night's sleep tonight, you may have no recollection of reading this by tomorrow.
Just two hours of missed slumber is enough to stop the brain from laying down and storing memories, research suggests – and simply dropping from eight hours of sleep to six could make the difference.
What is more, any memories lost due to not getting enough shut-eye may be gone for ever, the Society for Neuroscience's annual conference heard.
Researcher Ted Abel said: "I think what it really means for modern life is that sleep is not a luxury.
"It is really critically important for the brain and for the brain to function and for you to be able to really remember and consolidate what's happened to you over the day.
"I think we often feel that if we could grab a cup of coffee and answer five more emails, we would have done everything we could do. Sometimes it might be better to go to sleep and deal with it after."
Professor Abel and his team form the University of Pennsylvania looked at how mice that were stopped from sleeping fared on a memory task.
The creatures were kept awake for varying amounts of time, to pinpoint just how little sleep had to be lost for their recall to be damaged.
The professor told the New Orleans conference: "What we found is that when we deprived animals of sleep, that impaired storage of memories.
"And most importantly we found out that a very short period of time would block memory consolidation, it was as short as three hours, which for mice is something like 20 percent of their sleep over 24 hours.
"In human terms, it would be the equivalent of dropping an eight-hour night of sleep to six hours, which is something we do all the time."
It is thought that the replay of our memories while we are asleep is essential for their proper storage in the brain.
The study also suggested that there is a critical period after learning during in which memories are consolidated, meaning that loss of sleep at some points in time may be more damaging than at others.
Professor Abel, who tries to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, added that any information lost due to lack of sleep is gone forever - meaning that sleeping longer the next night won't bring it back.
Neil Stanley, one of Britain's leading sleep experts, said: "The important thing about sleep is that is allows the brain to do things that it is far too busy to do during the day.
"Sleep is the quiet time that gives the brain time to do the filing."
Dr Stanley, who set up world-class sleep labs at Surrey University before becoming a freelance sleep consultant, added that lack of memory consolidation can lead to people forgetting to carry out simple tasks.
"This is the cause of why when you tell your husband to do something and then tomorrow you say, 'But I told you that', and you think he's being difficult or stupid.
"But it is because he may not have laid down that memory. He may have intended to remember it but because it is not laid down, he can't retrieve it." - Daily Mail

I don't like this bronzer at all. I am NC30-35 and this bronzer looks dirty, patchy and very unnatural. I like the colour and i like the fact that it's completely matte but it's just doesn't work for me.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Neutral

This is perfection for contouring..There is absolutely no shimmer/sparkle. Does not look muddy or dirty, and it does not turn orange. Does not emphasize pores. This is one of my favorite makeup products. I never want to be without this.

I love this bronzer because it is matte. It is extremely hard to find good matte bronzers these days. The shade works perfectly for my skin even though I am fair. A little goes a long way!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool

I have had problems with finding a bronzer before this one as I wanted one that was completely matte with no shimmer or glitter. I also wanted a bronzer that did not look orange when I applied it or one that didn't make me look muddy/dirty as these have been problems I have had in the past. The texture of this product was lovely and is easily applied, it has a high pigmentation so not much is needed and it gives a lovely effect when applied to the high points of the face to give a bronzed look or applied to the hollows of the cheekbones and around the hair line for a contouring powder. The only thing I would say negatively about the product is the packaging, though cute and quite compact, I find the boxed in powder is not easy to get a brush in and get a light brush of colour. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied with this product.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm

Hoola is my HG bronzer! It's completely, 100% matte, and great for natural contouring. The color is also golden-based and perfectly neutral - it doesn't turn orange, pink, or ruddy. Texture-wise, it's soft, smooth, and melts into your skin.
I've found that the best way for me to apply this is to dip the very tip of my SK Powder brush into the box, tap it off, and then apply where I wish. This keeps the application controlled and well-blended, rather than blotchy or muddy.
Price/oz breakdowns:
-Hoola: $28 for .40 oz: $70/oz.
-NARS Laguna: $32 for .28 oz: $114.29/oz
-MAC Bronzing Powder: $22 for .30 oz: $73.33/oz
Comparisons: I've heard from a NARS SA that NARS Laguna and Benefit Hoola are the only two bronzers on the market that are completely golden-based. Personally, I'm not so sure about declaring them the *only* golden-based bronzers out there, but anyways. Given the choice between them, I would choose Hoola over Laguna. Laguna contains significant shimmer, while Hoola is matte; you can always add more shimmer to your look, but you can't take away the shimmer in Laguna.

I love this product! It's a really good matte bronzer, perfect for contouring my face, and it's pretty pigmented so a little goes a long way. I've had mine for about 8 months yet and I haven't hit pan!

Skin: Sensitive, Tan, Warm

LOVE this. Got the Powderazzi in a swap, and I really love this. It's a nice matte bronzer. No shimmer at all, and looks so natural on my medium-tan skintone. My only complaint is that I like to use my Ecotools Powder brush, and it's difficult to use it with Powderazzi palette. I will definitely be buying this in the full size. I'm not a bronzer girl, but I love this!

<33333!!!! This is my all-time favorite bronzer! It has no shimmer, so it is great for contouring. Like with every bronzer, be sure to use a light hand, to avoid applying too much. This looks great on my fair skin and isnt orangey or dirty looking. It gives my skin the most gorgeous glow!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine

This is definitely my favorite bronzer out there. Set aside the fact that I absolutely love Benefit products, this bronzer is matte and brown instead of orange, which I look for in bronzers. The application is very easy and smooth. However, you have to make sure to use it lightly. Using too much can make you look "dirty", but that rule honestly applies to any type of make-up. Anyways, this bronzer is perfect for contouring my cheeks, but can also use it as a bronzing blush color as well. Benefit has great deals where they tie products together for a cheap price and they usually have Hoola a part of the deals so definitely snatch one when you can find it!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Tan, Not Sure

Brought this online for $25 nz dollars which I thought was a total bargin after finding out the normal prize!
I used this on New Years eve and can I say this stuff is soooo good, the bronzer that I used was more redish which I did not realised till later after making my self look like a tomato! But I will never go back after using this one, since is summer in nz I am very tan atm but this still shows on my skin and is perfect! I love it!!
If your debating bout weather you should get it or not...GET IT!!

Los Angeles is a center of fashion and culture, so it makes sense that you choose the most sophisticated floor covering kinds available when building or renovating your home-which are hardwood and laminate floorings. These two possibilities have their own advantages and disadvantages, however there is one thing they share: they make certain your house look exceptional. Here are some facts about laminate and hardwood floor coverings:
Supposing that you're going for a vintage and classy atmosphere, hardwood can easily offer this. This natural, enduring material is supplied in a wide variety of forms, and one of the most prominent is the unusual Brazilian Walnut. Also referred to as Ipe, this particular tree is produced in Latin American countries like Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, and Bolivia. This product further comes in an array of colors and will certainly suit your house's color palette.
In what location the Brazilian Walnut is grown significantly impacts its colour. Hues consist of light yellow, tan, and darker, deep brownish. If done with a clear grade, this floor covering comes to be reddish brown. However, with an oil-based finish, it exhibits a deep brownish shade.
Supposing that you aim to keep the natural color, you could opt for a water-based finish which is highly recommended to protect the wood. In time, Brazilian Walnut normally darkens to a medium, richer brown. In case you are interested in hardwood floor coverings, you can speak to your flooring specialist for brand names that are reliable and inexpensive.
A rather cheaper option to hardwood would be laminate floor coverings. With laminate, you can get the impressive visage and exceptional function of hardwood at a much smaller price. Laminate flooring is comprised of 4 components bonded under great pressure, with a waterproof overlay to resist wet conditions. The core is a high density fiberboard that gives the laminate its strength; a high resolution image is the ultimate touch that provides its terrific luster.
Though the laminate flooring Los Angeles homeowners can possess is not made from actual lumber, this material can very much mirror hardwood kinds like chestnut, pine, maple, and oak. Laminate additionally has a blemish and impression resistant clear layer, which makes it one of the most sturdy flooring styles you can get. It also gets better as laminate is basically maintenance free.
In case you have not made up your mind about what sort of laminate or hardwood flooring Los Angeles contractors can easily install in your house, you may consult them for design options to suit your inclinations and budget. They will definitely walk you through several types, colours and materials to ensure that you purchase the greatest floor coverings for your house.
Because of the brand-new laminate and hardwood floors Los Angeles homes can get, you can easily make your home more beautiful and comfy to reside in. For even more info on hardwood floor coverings, visit builddirect.com.

Secret Service agent, 2 others wounded when gunfire erupts at mall
By BEN GREENE
ANNAPOLIS, MD -- An off-duty U.S. Secret Service agent was shot after he intervened in a fight in a shopping mall food court, then returned fire and wounded the gunman, police said.
One other person was shot during the Saturday night melee, which sent shoppers ducking under tables and running for cover. The agent and the gunman were airlifted to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. Their injuries were not life threatening, police said.
The third wounded person, 16-year-old Tahzay Brown, was treated at Anne Arundel Medical Center for a gunshot wound to his leg. He was released before midnight Saturday, said Martha Harlan, a hospital spokeswoman.
There had been no arrests by early Sunday morning.
The agent, who was not identified, was at the Westfield Annapolis mall with his family shortly after 7 p.m. (0200 GMT) when he saw a group of men attacking another man, said Officer Sara Schriver, an Anne Arundel County police spokeswoman. The agent tried to break up the fight, and someone in the group drew a gun and started firing, she said.
"He ran across the food court with his gun and was shooting at people," witness Lindsay Busch told WJZ-TV. Ray Leone, manager of the Borders Books & Music, which is located across from the food court, said he heard at least 10 gunshots, and dozens of people ran into his store in a panic.
The agent was wounded. After he was shot, he drew his service handgun and returned fire, wounding the gunman. It was not clear who shot Brown, Schriver said.
The mall was closed shortly after the shooting, and shoppers were ordered to leave over the public address system. Police tape was strewn around the food court, where meals sat unfinished on tables and personal property was left behind. Several tables were overturned, with food and drinks spilled on the floor.
Scott deGraffenreid, the mall's marketing director, said video surveillance footage of the scene was turned over to police. He said mall management would not comment on the incident, citing the ongoing investigation.
Brown is a student at Annapolis High School, where he was involved in one of several fights that have drawn police to the school this year, his mother, Tanjala Brown, told The (Baltimore) Sun. She told the newspaper her son was jumped in September, and police never identified who attacked him.
The Westfield Annapolis mall is located just west of the Annapolis city limits.

Primitive Skills Instruction
Picture this—You are in the woods holding a bow drill set in your hands that you have created completely from the natural items around you. You start by slowing moving the bow back and forth on the fire board. As you start adding more pressure, you move the bow faster creating more and more friction. Smoke starts pouring out of your fireboard and you realize that you have just created a coal. You carefully place the coal into the tinder you have prepared and slowly begin to blow. Suddenly, the tinder bundle explodes into flame. You have just started your first fire without matches. The feeling of victory is beyond explanation.
Learn primitive and survival skills from our expert teachers. You can choose topics such as shelter construction, water procurement and purification, useful plants, trapping, primitive fires, tools and weapons, cordage, and much more.

Her story is just one of many in attorney Steve Converse's files.
Converse, who practices immigration law out of his East York office, represents perhaps a dozen children who came to this country, fleeing terrible conditions in Central America, places where violence and crushing poverty are the norm, places where the lives and souls of children are often sacrificed via neglect and savagery.
Her story — told in a thick file documenting the journey that brought her to America — is typical of the thousands of children fleeing Honduras, or Guatemala, or El Salvador, or Mexico, looking not just for a better life, but mere survival, a chance to make it beyond childhood alive and intact, the thousands of children now caught in the political battle over immigration on our southern border. They are pawns in a larger game played by powerful cynics who would sacrifice children for their own gain, playing to the fear and loathing of their constituents' baser instincts.
Yet, she isn't a pawn.
She is a human being, now a young woman who wants no more than a safe place to live and go to school without fear.
She was born just outside of San Salvador. Her father left when she was in grade school, coming to America to make a living. She lived with her mother and grandmother.
She went to school every day, a triumph in a country where it is difficult for children to get a decent education, much less simply attend school. Her father, working as a landscaper in Maryland, sent money home every month to pay her tuition. She would leave home every day at 5:45 a.m. for the 75-minute walk to school. She is a bright girl and did well in school, evidenced by the 11 1/2-page, hand-written statement she gave Converse. The statement is well-written, in impeccable Spanish, rare for children who lack educational opportunities.
She made it to high school, starting classes in 2012. Her walk to school took her through some bad neighborhoods — there are a lot of bad neighborhoods; they are hard to avoid.
Her path took her past a gang that held one corner near her school, a group of young men who ruled that intersection through fear and intimidation, extorting money from those who wished safe passage and brutalizing those who couldn't pay the toll. Gangs like that are legion in Central America. The police are ineffectual or corrupt, collecting bribes from the gangs to supplement their meager wages, looking the other way. At worst, the police conspire with the gangs. When crimes are reported, which isn't often for reasons that will become clear, they provide the gangs with information to help them intimidate, or eliminate, those who file complaints. People fear the police almost as much as they do the gangs.
This gang would harass the girl nearly every day. They would say obscene things to her, intimidate her, strike fear in her. They reeked of weed and alcohol.
There was one gang member, a supposed leader, who would take the lead in harassing her. He would block her path and tell her, "I'm going to have you, one way or another. You'll find out."
One day, in early November 2012, she was walking to school when the corner boys, out of nowhere, confronted her. It was a Sunday — she had to go to school to take a standardized test — and there weren't many people around. The leader grabbed her arm and dragged her through the alleys and narrow streets of the neighborhood, telling her, "Keep walking. Don't scream or I will kill you right here."
They got to a car, pushed her inside and drove to an abandoned house. They beat and raped her. They knocked her unconscious. Then they drove her back to where they abducted her and let her go, warning her that if she went to the police she would be killed. The gang owned her now.
She got home and told her grandmother what had happened. She went to a medical clinic where she was treated for numerous injuries, as outlined in records obtained from the hospital. She had cuts on her cheek and forehead and on her arms and legs. Her right eye was blackened. She found out later she was pregnant. She lost the baby via what medical records described as "spontaneous abortion."
She did not go to the police. There was no point. She was sure that if she went to the police she would die. And it wasn't as if the police would do anything.
She healed and stopped going to school. In early 2013, her grandmother handed her over to a coyote, a smuggler of human beings, who would shepherd her to the American border, for a fee, thousands of dollars — a fortune in that part of the world.
The coyote assured her that once she got to the border, she would be safe. He told her that the law was on her side, that the Americans wouldn't send her back, that if she made it into America, she could stay and eventually be reunited with her father.
That, of course, is not the case. The law only gives her, as an immigrant from a country other than Mexico or Canada, the right to a hearing. She could still be sent back.
She got to the border and was detained by the border patrol in Brownsville, Texas. The border patrol handed her over to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, a bureau of the Department of Health and Human Services. She was sent to a group home in Chicago. She had a phone number and address for her father, but they proved to be no good. Eventually, though, her father was located ,and she was sent to live with him while awaiting deportation proceedings.
She has had a couple of hearings on her request to stay in America. The case is still unsettled, Converse said. She has another hearing scheduled for January 2015.
Now 20, she is living with her father and going to school to learn English. She hopes to continue with school while awaiting a decision on whether she can stay. Her dream is to finish school and have a life. Her dream is to be safe, to live free of fear.
Her story is not unique. There are thousands of children like her.
"It's very typical," Converse said. "This happens every day. They're just kids."

We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and have a thriving tourism industry to prove it. Not surprisingly, that means housing prices are higher than average, while wages are lower. What does that mean for a nurse or a restaurant worker or a retail salesperson? Too frequently it means the largest part of their earnings are spent for rent, leaving them struggling to put food on the table and totally unable to cope with an unexpected expense like an illness, car repair or colder than usual winter. Imagine having to choose between paying for heat or making the rent. I am grateful to the City Council for making affordable housing a priority. We need to increase the Housing Trust Fund and further encourage partnerships between local government, private developers and nonprofits so people who work here can afford to live here.
Terry Van Duyn, Asheville
Affordable housing is health care. Stable housing gives people a safe place to put their medicine, to have access to nutritious food and keep their immune systems strong. Affordable housing is economic development. A single parent would have to work 16 hours/day at minimum wage to afford a modest, two-bedroom apartment. Affordable housing is education. Last year there were more than 500 children in our schools considered homeless, making it difficult to do homework and get a decent night's sleep. Affordable housing is self-esteem. Our case management approach centers on helping people become as independent as possible; no one wants to ask for help, but we all need to at some point at some level. Every week we see the joy in our clients as they regain more and more control over their circumstances; part of that control is having a stable place to live. For all of these reasons, we devote much of our funding to finding stable housing for our clients. The Housing Trust Fund should be increased and there must be the provision of incentives for further development of affordable housing units to meet the needs of the community.

RED FEATHER LAKES - David and Lauri Duty are letting go of a dream they've worked tirelessly to fulfill for five years - victims of a poor economy and a fickle seasonal business.
And when they say goodbye to the Pot Belly Deli Bar and Restaurant, the iconic eatery they've owned for the past five years, they'll leave this tiny Larimer County hamlet an hour northwest of Fort Collins with a huge void.

If Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma and Boise State beats Nevada, the Broncos will most likely be left out of the BCS.
The Fiesta will most certainly take Oklahoma State to replace Texas and match it up with TCU. The Sugar Bowl is projected to have the loser of the Alabama/Florida game vs. the Big East champion, while the Orange Bowl will match up Georgia Tech/Clemson winner against either Penn State or Iowa. The Rose will have the Pac-10 champion vs. Ohio State.
So what happens to Boise State?
The Poinsettia Bowl, where the Broncos played last year, was talked about a few weeks ago. Boise State would replace a Pac-10 team, but that can't happen now because the conference has seven bowl eligible teams.
It could take one of its WAC bowls -- Hawaii, Humanitarian or New Mexico Bowl, but neither of those bowls have very appealing matchups for the No. 6 ranked team in the country.
The best option for the Broncos is to grab one of the at-large spots available in the GMAC, Little Caesars Pizza, EagleBank or potentially the International Bowl (if UConn doesn't get bowl-eligible).
"I would assume like in most in years, a Boise State or any highly ranked team that gets left out of the BCS, it is going to want to play the best available team," said Little Caesars Pizza Bowl and International Bowl Executive Director Ken Hoffman. "The Mid-American Conference is going to have a couple of them that are very good, in particular Central Michigan, Temple and Ohio are likely to have strong records and likely ranked at that point."
Boise State could take on the MAC Champion in either the GMAC or Pizza Bowl. Temple is 9-2, while Central Michigan has one of the most exciting players in QB Dan LeFevour and is also 9-2.
"I would think there will be a real good option for Boise State to play a 10- or 11-win team out of the MAC in one of those locations. I can speak for Toronto and Detroit, we would be very interested in that. And I'm absolutely certain Mobile would be interested in that."
Another solution for the Broncos and the WAC is to maybe trade a tie-in with another bowl.
"In the past we've looked at trading teams and trading bowls," said WAC Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations Director Dave Chaffin. "A few years ago Boise State went to the Liberty Bowl ... we had no tie-in to that. That type of situation could happen again this year. We just to have to wait to see what happens."
After this weekend, things will get much clearer.

Asbestos-contaminated powder covered neighborhoods
Monday, March 14, 2005
On July 23, 1971, a group of Colonial Lakelands residents awoke to a strange sight for a summer morning in that section of Lawrence. During the night, a fine white powder had settled over their lawns and cars.
Four days later, local health officials sent a letter to the state Department of Environmental Protection asking for help in identifying where the dust came from and what was in the particles that had settled over an area of as much as one square mile.
"During the nite (sic) a white granular particulate blanketed the area from Whitehead Road north to Colonial Lake and from U.S. 1 east to the Assunpink Creek," the letter from then-Lawrence Health Officer Robert Inglis said.
Later that year, the DEP tentatively traced the dust to W.R. Grace's Zonolite plant on Industrial Drive in neighboring Hamilton - more than a mile from Colonial Lake - and shortly after, ordered the company to install an array of pollution controls.
Though DEP and Lawrence officials didn't know it at the time, the dust that blew from the plant - actually residue from the vermiculite ore processed at the plant and used in insulation - contained a deadly form of asbestos known as tremolite.
Federal and state inspectors are now trying to piece together just how far the vermiculite dust may have traveled from the plant over the several decades it was in operation and who - besides employees and their family members - may have been exposed to it.
Their exhaustive study was prompted by earlier studies of the Libby, Mont., mine that produced much of the vermiculite ore, which regulators say was contaminated with the tremolite.
That was not the first or last time local businesses and residents complained about dust from the plant, which had processed the ore for use in fireproofing and insulation products since the 1940s.
Several times during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s the DEP responded to complaints about the factory.
Over the three decades the plant was under W.R. Grace's control, DEP investigators at various times described "great clouds pouring out" of the plant's stacks, "large quantities of particulate emissions coming from the roof of W.R. Grace and Company" and "very heavy particulate emissions from (the) plant."
The DEP and the regulatory agencies that preceded it cited the company at least a half dozen times for pollution violations in the 1960s and 1970s. In some cases, the company paid a small fee and in others simply agreed to fix the problem. Some complaints filed over the years were inspected and found to be without merit.
After the 1971 request by Lawrence, investigators noted that tests would be done on the particles to determine what was in the material floating from the sky over Colonial Lake. But if the tests were ever conducted, the results are no longer available in the DEP's records.
In what regulators believe is an unrelated correspondence in 1972, former plant Superintendent Walter Kaluzny wrote the DEP what he described as a letter "of written record" asserting that "the Trenton plant of W.R. Grace Construction Products Division does not use asbestos in the producing of any product."
Reviewing that letter today, environmental regulators say it was likely a response to a new regulatory program set up by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, called the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, that required companies to notify state and federal agencies of toxic emissions.
"Asbestos was one of the first required," said Fred Mumford, a spokesman for the DEP.
Later this month, the state Department of Health and Senior Services is planning to release studies that examine "historical exposure pathways" and cancer rates in the census tracts next to the plant.
Employees at the plant, who said it was impossible to escape the dust inside, also recalled how they would watch it blow off the grounds and envelop neighboring buildings.
"It covered everything around - all of the businesses next door and the houses across Whitehead Road," recalled James Kelly, a former employee who lives in Waycross, Ga. "That stuff was light as a feather."
"When that stuff got caught up in the wind, it was hard to say how far it went," said another former employee, Walter Kimbrough of Trenton. "Sometimes you would see it go so far that you started to see it thinning out" in the distance.
"A half-mile away you could see it on the side of the road," Kimbrough added.
Employees and contractors described various ways the dust escaped from the plant furnaces.
Frank Enourato, who during the 1970s was a construction contractor in Hamilton, did several months of work at the factory removing windows and then bricking up the empty spaces. Enourato remembers watching the dust from the factory blow in plumes out the open windows.
"When we opened up the windows before we blocked them up, the stuff blew for miles," Enourato said. "The cloud of dust was so thick you couldn't see through it," he said.
"Sometimes the furnaces would plug up and this pipe would plug up and it would just blow up," Kimbrough recalled.
Employees say that conditions were so bad in their tightly enclosed space that they actually removed wallboard placed over the ceiling vents to release some of the dust-filled air.
"It was so bad working there that I would sometimes go up to the roof and open it and it would blow out," said one former employee.
Based on DEP complaint records, 1971 was a particularly bad year for emissions from the plant. Besides the complaint from Lawrence, the DEP received several others from neighboring businesses.
In April of that year, a DEP investigator concluded the company had violated the state's pollution code. The investigator asked Grace to respond to several areas of concern about controlling emissions from exhaust, railroad unloading, storage containers and waste containers.
Grace responded with a letter in May, telling DEP officials that most of the problems had been solved.
That fall, however, the DEP ordered the company to install pollution controls at the plant, including control devices on the furnace, density indicators on the stack controls, silos to hold the vermiculite ore and conveyors to move it.
The agency also ordered Grace to comply with the seven-part order by December of the next year and required the company to report every second month on its progress.
"Emissions came close to zero," said Greg Euston, a spokesman for W.R. Grace, adding, "I'm not suggesting that the plant operated without violations but that the goal was to remain within state and federal guidelines."
Euston said Kaluzny was not referring to the possible presence of asbestos in the vermiculite ore in his 1972 letter but rather to the company's earlier practice of mixing commercial asbestos into its products. Grace stopped using commercial asbestos in the early 1970s, he said.
The company continued to receive citations, however. In 1974, for example, the DEP charged the company with more air pollution violations.
Three years later, the DEP again cited Grace for violating air pollution rules, in that case for emitting a dense cloud of particles "into the outdoor air" from one of its furnaces.
In 1995, W.R. Grace closed the Zonolite plant.
Despite a history of nearly three decades of air pollution violations and a known contamination with asbestos, DEP officials issued a "No Further Action" letter to Grace after the company's consultant reported only trace amounts of asbestos on the site and none exceeding regulatory limits.
In 2001, federal regulators discounted the consultant's study after testing revealed high concentrations of asbestos on some portions of the property. In 2003, the EPA ordered the removal of 9,000 tons of dirt from the site.
According to Hamilton officials, the state health department's reports are due out March 22. Mayor Glen Gilmore is expecting to be briefed on the results today.

Widgets on Pages – v0.0.4 update
We have just released our 0.0.4 version of the Wigets on Pages WordPress plugin. This release has only one change but is one that covers the majority of the requests from our users… namely upping the limit of the number of sidebars that are available. In fact we didn't just up the maximum number but we have scrapped it completely.
We decided to remove the maximum limit as it was obvious that peaople were using the plugin in many different ways that were different from how we perceived it being used. Some minimal javascipt validation has been added to try and ensure that the plugin doesn't break even though the input value has been opened right up.
Please feel free to give us feedback on the plugin if you're using it.

Hi Mark,
Not sure what could be causing this as I've not seen this error at all in our testing. It may be a conflict with another plugin… can you let me know which ones you have installed?

After her "secret" powers are revealed, and others believe she is a sorceress, Princess Elsa flees from her kingdom to the snow mountaintop beyond her realm. It's at this point in the film "Frozen" that she sings the very popular "Let It Go." It's a great performance by Idina Menzel, who should win an Oscar for it. However, the song speaks very well to the struggle that most teens go through in negotiating the difficult task of growing up.
The journey that many young people go through is well represented here. In these formative years, they discover their own "powers" - talents, strengths, weaknesses, and gifts - and they also begin to discern how they can use them. The perception in a rebellious mind is that adults or society in general wants to stifle these gifts - as Elsa's family had tried to do ("Conceal, don't feel"). As adults, we need to nurture these gifts and provide good outlets for them to explore them - without running away into isolation.
Elsa, in her mountain solitude, believes she has found true freedom. Without limits, she thinks that she has found where she is meant to be. But it's not complete for her. She still has something to learn, and it will come in the form of a relationship that has always been there, even when she has shunned it: her sister Anna. There in her mountain palace she sings, "No right, no wrong; no rules for me. I'm free!"
But she's not free. She is still a prisoner of her passions - which is what she is trying to shield the world from by running away. When Anna shows up, those uncontrolled passions - unchecked by proper direction - almost kill her little sister.
It's a delicate business assisting young people to become fully alive and adults. They must do it on their own terms, but they also must be able to engage in the rest of society as well. We have so much to gain from the gifts of our young ones. Their potential is a reason to be hopeful. Our task is to help them to "let go" - but to let go of the proper things.
Let go of fear. Let go of hesitancy and the insecurity that stifles dreams. But never let go of the relationships that ground you - especially the gift of God's grace, that special relationship that helps us to see our gifts as His blessings to us and to the world that we will help to shape.

- Keeping Our Waters Safe:
The 112th Congress Must Not Strip the EPA's Duty to Protect Our Waters from Pesticides
Legislative Analysis
- Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registers pesticides that can be sold and used in the United States. When the EPA approves a pesticide under FIFRA, however, it merely concludes that its use "will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment." As the growing evidence of pesticide-contaminated waters shows, FIFRA and its labeling requirements are insufficient to protect many waters across the country. Only the Clean Water Act specifically aims to restore the most polluted waters or protect pristine waters from contamination. Despite this, special interest efforts—pushed by the chemical companies—are underway in Congress to undermine the Clean Water Act by exempting pesticide applications from the protections and safeguards of water quality monitoring and permits.

Cleveland Arena
Cleveland Arena was an arena in Cleveland, Ohio. It was built and privately financed by local businessman Albert C. Sutphin during the height of the Great Depression in 1937 as a playing site for Sutphin's AHL team, the Cleveland Barons.[1] Later it hosted Sutphin's BAA's Cleveland Rebels and Nick Mileti's NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers and the WHA's Cleveland Crusaders. The arena was located at 3717 Euclid Avenue, and seated 9,900 in the stands and 12,500+ for events such as boxing where floor seating was available.[1]
The facility was also a second home arena for the NBA Cincinnati Royals, who played more than 35 of their home games there, 1966-70. The Royals were crucial in spurring an NBA expansion team for Cleveland in 1970.[citation needed]
The arena was also the site of the Moondog Coronation Ball, considered the first rock and roll concert on March 21, 1952, organized by Alan Freed. The concert was shut down after the first song by the fire authorities due to overcrowding - it was estimated that 20,000 individuals were either in the arena or trying to enter it, when the capacity was roughly half that.
While the arena was a showpiece when it opened,[1] by the time it closed in 1974 it had become decrepit and lacked adequate parking. It was demolished in 1977, and was replaced for sports use by the Coliseum at Richfield. The headquarters of the Cleveland Chapter of the American Red Cross now occupies the site.

Tanzania Host Community
Global Volunteers' long-time host partner in Tanzania is the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT). Our main contact is Bishop Owdenberg Mdegella, who invited Global Volunteers to provide development assistance to communities in the Iringa Diocese in 1986.
Born in 1951, the ninth child in a family of 16, the future bishop was a shepherd until age 12. He grew up in the highland village of Ipalamwa in the Iringa District where his mother was a farmer and his father, a logger. Having earned degrees in both Theology and Divinity, Bishop Mdegella was the youngest Lutheran Bishop in the world when he was ordained in 1987. He speaks five foreign languages and six African dialects fluently, and is a lecturer and teacher on the topics of spirituality and development. He is married and father to six children. Bishop Mdegella frequently travels to the U.S. - primarily Minnesota and California, where he completed his PhD studies. He has participated in training sessions in Minnesota, and serves on our International Advisory Committee, directing team leaders in effective team management in Tanzania.
Tanzania's history includes maritime rivalry between Portuguese and Arab traders as well as various European powers. Tanzania was an exotic destination for famous British explorers and later German industrialization as the Germans took Tanzania as a colony. German occupation lasted until the end of World War I when the British stepped in to take over. Tanzania smoothly became independent in 1961 with no tribal conflicts or linguistic divisions to slow the process.
Today, Tanzania is a country of 20 million with more than 100 tribal groups, mostly of Bantu origin. The Arab influence on Zanzibar and Pemba islands is evident in the people, who are a mix of Shirazia (from Persia), Arabs, Comorians (from the Comoros Islands) and Bantu from the mainland. The major non-Bantu people in the Iringa area are the Maasai who inhabit the north-eastern section of the country. Read more about our host community people and culture.
