In a bizarre twist of events, a woman in Tororo district caused the death of her husband when she gave him a meal she had prepared together with a local herb she was convinced was a 'love potion'.
Mitchell Amwono thought her love life would automatically blossom after her husband takes the 'love meal', but she was shattered to see her plot take a fatal direction.
Her husband, Davis Ekwau, 40, complained of severe abdominal pain after consuming just a small portion of the concocted meal.
Unfortunately, the former resident of Angololo in Kwapa sub-county died on his way to hospital that fateful day.
Now Amwono – his 30-year-old wife – and another woman, Hellen Akware, are under police custody for allegedly causing Ekwau's death.
The two were arrested when an aggrieved Awono attacked Akware at her home, accusing her of causing her husband's death.
She confessed to the police that she had indeed obtained the herbs from Akware, 30, who had convinced her it would make a successful 'love cocktail'.
"Akware convinced me to mix it for my husband in a meal, as it would enhance his love for me," admitted the widow during investigations.

For functional annotation, similarity-based approaches [1] do not take into account all the information from comparative and evolutionary biology. They do not differentiate between orthologs and paralogs among homologs and, furthermore, the closest BLAST is often not the nearest neighbour [2]. Phylogenetic approaches taking into account duplication and speciation events are necessary to solve these problems. But they do not blend any data from transcriptional behaviour. Nevertheless, orthologs can have very similar 'molecular function' but undergo a different 'macroscopic function' because of a transcriptional shift.
Growing data for gene expression profiling are available in various databases concerning normal or pathological tissues (Expressed Sequence Tags [ESTs] from NR, TIGR, GeneNote, Gepis, etc.). Some works recently examined the correlation between evolution (duplication and speciation) of genes and expression divergence within and between species [3,4], and some examine the expression profile between orthologous genes in sequenced species [5].
We performed a phylogenetic analysis of a protein family, using EST databases. This allowed us to enlarge the dataset of species containing homologs and consequently to improve the reconstruction of the genes' evolutionary history. We then extracted all the transcriptional data contained in EST databases, to decipher the gene expression pattern. Because gene annotation is currently labour intensive, we used a locally developed platform dedicated to phylogenetic annotation (named FIGENIX) [6]. We validated this approach on a family of genes possibly implied in rheumatoid arthritis; the peptidyl arginine deiminase (PADI) genes.
We show here a phylogenetic annotation with an enlarged dataset including EST contigs and expression data. It allowed us to integrate more functional data for analysis of a set of genes and permits us to give a transcriptional footprint of the gene. Our analysis showed that the PADI-2 paralog group have kept the ancestral molecular function coupled with a probable ancestral expression profile. These classified data permitted us to perform an updated footprint of the transcriptional data for each paralog group from this protein family.
We believe this method announces a new way to annotate uncharacterized ESTs. More than classical phylogeny, it allows highlighting of the transcriptional shift between paralogs, and is thus a good tool to improve annotation. It showed that functional shift can occur in differential tissue expression rather than in biochemical function of the protein.
This method of analysis is at its beginning and has to be extended to all kinds of expression database, including databases where expression data are normalized such as UniGene. In the future it cannot be ignored in annotating new unknown ESTs, underlined by DNA microarray assays for example.

Cory Booker is this political season's designated superman. The stuff of legend. Kind of guy who hangs out with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Does all the cool digital stuff, like tweeting. (Can you believe it?) A natural. And so forth.
On the other hand, he may be an empty suit and the voters of New Jersey may be tumbling to that, on the eve of next week's special Senate election. With the polls trending toward his businessman opponent, Booker's supporters are turning on the cash spigots. One of them, Michael Bloomberg, is in for a million. As Michael Barbaro of the New York Times reports, Mayor Bloomberg believes that Mr. Booker is
"… a solutions guy rather than an ideologue."
Hard to hear much of the rest of Bloomberg's statement over the din of voices protesting the influence of big, outside money in politics.

How to Gain Competitive Insight With Social Media
Are you looking for that competitive edge? Want to know what your peers are up to?
Using social media to research competitors can provide useful information for any business looking to create a smart strategy. Learning about your competitors' activities can give you insight into what works and what doesn't.
The beauty of social media is that there's a ton of information about your competitors that is public. And not only is their strategy public, but the reaction to that strategy is public as well. Let's take a look at some of the things you can learn about your competitors through different social networks, search engines and other outlets.
Top 75 Apps for Enhancing Your Facebook Page
Have you customized your Facebook page? There are thousands of apps that can help you engage with your fans. In this article I'll focus on the top 75 Facebook apps.
These apps allow you to customize your landing tabs, add your blog, add videos and photos, add chat, add polls, contests, geolocation, scheduling, email, ecommerce and much more.
Why Facebook Apps?
Why add apps to your Facebook Business (Fan) page? By customizing your Fan page with apps, you can significantly enhance the user's experience. And, the more you keep your fans engaged and coming back for more, the more likely you'll increase your "viral visibility."
3 Simple Ways to Rapidly Create Custom Facebook Landing Tabs
Unless you can get people to click your "Like" button, your Facebook strategy will be as limp and lifeless as Matt LeBlanc's post-Friends career.
That's because the vast majority of consumer Facebook interactions don't occur on your fan page, but rather in the newsfeeds of your fans. In fact, research from Jeff Widman of Facebook fan page consultancy BrandGlue (and a presenter at Facebook Success Summit) estimates that 199 out of every 200 interactions (99.5%) come from the user's wall (or newsfeeds). This means that almost nobody is coming back to your fan page after they visit it the first time.
How to Integrate Video Into Your Social Media Marketing
Video is hot! It adds a whole new dimension to your marketing. Are you looking to use video with your social media efforts, but feel a bit stuck?
In this episode of Social Media Examiner TV, Mari Smith shares important tips, creative ideas and what you need to know to integrate video into your social media marketing. Also be sure to catch her ninja marketing tip at the end of the video.

21 Creative Ways To Increase Your Facebook Fanbase
If you build a Facebook Page, will fans come? This is the great hope for many businesses. However, fans do not magically appear from the Facebook mist.
People must be lured to your fan page. And there are some good and bad ways to go about doing this. In this article, I'll share a big myth and 21 ways to drive more fans to your Facebook fan page. (Though Facebook recently changed the "Become A Fan" button to the new, omnipresent "Like" button – and a fan page is called a "Business Page" or "Facebook Page" – we can still call them fan pages and people who join are fans!)
The Big Myth
There's a great myth that once you create a Facebook fan page for your business, the first thing you should do to get fans is invite ALL your friends from your personal profile using the "Suggest to Friends" feature.

We had a great time on this excursion, our driver Stephanie was charming and full of knowledge. This was a great way to appreciate the beauty of Maui.
We again were pleased with the personnel handling the check in and the bus driver knowledge. There was a group of 19 that showed up late and the bus driver came back to get them. The saving versus NCL price was worth it.
Guide was knowledgable and the scenes were beautiful
Wonderful day!
Iao Valley was such a beautiful site and the plantation was interesting and informative. I'd definitely recommend this tour.
My wife and I were both on electric scooters . We at all times received extra help on and off the bus.We were able to easily negotiate the ramp to the top of the lookout for the sensationally beautiful valley. The aquarium was first class, almost on a par with the "Monterey Bay" in California.At no time was there any difficulty with the scooters. No worries , just fun!
Ken and Loretta V C.
A good day . The Valley was so serene and green. Beautiful. The Planation tour was fun and very informative . Our guide was quite funny which made for a great afternoon. T'N'T
Beautiful and totally enjoyed the Aquarium!
Tropical plantation well worth the trip alone
All of our viator trips were spectacular and worth the money; since we took about 8 trips with Viator on our last journey, it's hard to remember anything particular about this trip. What I can tell you is that it was everything I expected and more.
Very enjoyable.
The tropical Plantation and Iao Valley were both breathtaking! The Ocean Center was okay, unless you've been to another (bigger/better) Aquarium like Atlanta or Newport in KY.
The most knowledgeable driver we experienced; with a great sense of dry humor adding to his commentary. The scenery was great and varied. A tour we would repeat if we ever return.
Tropical plantation disappointing.
This was very ordinary, not impressed
Tour too long. too much time spent at Ocean aquarium

Kyle Blassingham struck out 13 and scattered five hits as Pecatonica/Durand beat Dakota 5-1 to hand the Indians their first NUIC East baseball loss Saturday. Dakota's Tayler Burns was the hard-luck loser, striking out nine and also giving up only five hits. Two of his five runs were unearned. Dakota (5-5, 5-1) made four errors to Pec/Du's zero.
Kyle Blassingham struck out 13 and scattered five hits as Pecatonica/Durand beat Dakota 5-1 to hand the Indians their first NUIC East baseball loss Saturday.
Dakota's Tayler Burns was the hard-luck loser, striking out nine and also giving up only five hits. Two of his five runs were unearned. Dakota (5-5, 5-1) made four errors to Pec/Du's zero.
"Blassingham was awesome!" Dakota coach Britton Kauffman said. "We made too many mistakes in the field and we couldn't hit Kyle. Burns should have been good enough to win, but the bottom of our lineup struck out 11 of 14 at bats. The top five hitters in their lineup struck out eight times and only had one hit; four of their five hits come from the bottom four hitters in their lineup. Either way, the loss was very painful in our attempt at a conference championship."
Dakota 14, Ashton-Franklin Center 0
Three Dakota pitchers combined on a one-hitter and Drew Zellmer was 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs and Brandon Lizer was 2-for-4 with three runs and an RBI.
Lena-Winslow 8, Oregon 5
Oregon 8, Lena-Winslow 3
The area's last unbeaten baseball team finally fell Saturday when Lena-Winslow lost the second game of a nonconference doubleheader to Oregon of the Big Northern Conference.
Oregon scored in six of the seven innings to win 8-3. Joey Rowe and Alex Cain each had four hits for Oregon (6-10). Le-Win took the first game 8-5, thanks to a six-run fourth inning. Chris Stockton homered in the second game for Le-Win (11-1) and had three RBIs in the first game. Quinn Sowle was 3-for-3 and Ben Moest earned the pitching win and had two RBIs.
Byron 7, Eastland 6
Byron 7, Eastand 5
The Cougars lost two close — and nearly identical — games to Big Northern co-leader Byron (13-7). Both teams had nine hits in both games. Each had one error in the first game, while Byron had one and Eastland (6-3) two in the second.
Byron held a 7-6 lead after three innings in the first game and both teams then went scoreless the final four frames. In the second game, Byron rallied from two runs down with four runs in the top of the seventh. Ramsay Truckenmiller and Ty Hartman each had two hits for Eastland in the first game, while Austin Weaver, Devin Hartman and Chase Giedd had two hits in the second game.
East Dubuque 5, Potosi 2
Kourtney Larson threw a 3-hitter, striking out 11 and giving up two runs, both unearned, and Elizabeth Lange was 2-for-3 with two runs for East Dubuque.
Galen 4, Lena-Winslow 1
Lena-Winslow 8, Galeno 0
Mekenna Miles threw a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts, allowing only one unearned run, in the opener for Galena (5-8, 4-4), while Lindsey Decker was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run in the 4-1 win. Creed Stouffer threw a five-hit shutout in Len-Win's 8-0 win in the second game. Heidi Gahm had three hits for the Panthers.

The Atlantic has a fun piece on GM's ambitious plan to bring the Volt to market by 2010. I generally don't go in for overripe tales of corporate heroism, and I definitely don't go in for economic nationalism, but hell if the story didn't make me want to hoist up an American flag and blast the Mellencamp from the transistor radio in my '68 Chevelle:
Because it will have both an electric and a gasoline motor on board, the Volt will be a hybrid. But it will be like no hybrid on the road today. Existing hybrids are gasoline-powered cars, with an electric assist to improve the gas mileage. The Volt will be an electric-powered car, with a gasoline assist to increase the battery's range.
Doesn't sound like a big deal, perhaps, but most industry watchers seem to think GM's goal simply isn't possible with today's technology. And, in fact, they're right: GM has basically placed all their chips on the table, betting that they can develop a radically new car and a radically new battery simultaneously. It's an inspired and somewhat desperate act from a company that has been better known for its missteps and setbacks in recent years.
The car will get something like 50 miles to the gallon when it uses its engine to recharge the batteries, but this stat has led to some confusion by obscuring the more important point: for most drivers, the engine will rarely kick in. The car has a range of 40 miles on batteries alone, which can be recharged from a standard outlet. Typical commuters could go their whole lives without ever filling the tank.
Others have made the mistake of unfavorably comparing the 40-mile battery-only range of the Volt with the 75+ mile range of GM's ill-fated all-electric EV-1. There are a lot of reasons this comparison doesn't hold up, but suffice to say that the EV-1, however nifty a piece of technology, simply wasn't a mass-market vehicle capable of replacing the typical sedan.
While the engineering is no doubt impressive, the most brilliant thing about the Volt seems to be the publicity campaign. By opening up their normally secretive product design process to outside scrutiny, GM has practically turned the car -- which doesn't even exist yet -- into a consumer movement. Buyers are practically willing this thing into existence. It's hard not to root for the beleaguered giant.
The author of the article thinks that GM will probably not quite succeed, but come close enough. Dates will slip a bit, prices will rise, but not so far or so high that the Volt becomes GM's latest public flop. Here's the great thing, though: it doesn't really matter if the Volt itself is the car that pushes electric drivetrains to the mainstream. The competition -- Toyota, BMW, Nissan, Tesla -- has taken notice. I'm not necessarily betting on the Volt to win, but I am willing to bet that my next car will be electric.
Photo credit: Autoblog Green
I am interested in seeing how the volt turns out. Unfortunately, I don't have much faith in GM to turn out a quality product. Mercedes announced an initiative to stop using gasoline in their new vehicles by 2015. It's going to be an exciting decade no matter what.
The Atlantic Monthly piece was pure BS - this journalists had some preconceived "ironic" notions and manufactured his stories to match. The websites that are knoweldgeable about the subject subsequently tore his article into shreds. It was humorous to see his pessimisitic and gloomy predicitons and then just the next day watch events that he claimed wouldn't occur for months actually happen on schedule. It's good to see an unreliable journalist taken out so completely. I predict that he won't be writing any more articles about the Volt.
Apparently nobody aroundhere ever vistis the gm-volt website. If you want to know what's going on with the Volt, I can verify that the Atlantic Monthly article was mostly silly, but also completely obsolete. There are NO problems with the development of the Volt. Bob Lutz last week stated that there is no reasonable expectation that the car will not be delivered on time. The battery ciosts (around $16K)
have come in higher than they had hoped originally, but, quite frankly, the way the public is killing themselves these days to avoid gasoline, I don't think the now expected $40K price will drive away many custoemrs. And those battery prices are INITIAL production prices. The Prius at its inauguration cost about $10K more than it does today, with Toyota eating a lot of the cost. A123 Systems execs have claiemd a price decline of more than 50% in the not too dstant future, and there is also talk of providing optional sized battery packs, so that those who don't really need 40 miles of electric driving range (like those 51% of commuters whose round trip is less than 20 miles, for example), would only pay around $32K. There WILL be a $5K tax break also, which will put the car not that far from its initial estimates. One could have reasonably questioned the prospects for success for the Volt a year and a half ago, back in the dark ages when gas was $2.50, and no one had had any experience with building such a car, but to doubt succes at this point requires that one be pretty much totally out of touch with what's happened over at GM in the interim - for example, more than 6 months of constant testing of two candidiate battery pack designs, now in their third generation, with not one single failure. No one can possibly claim that the batteries won't work. At this point any doubt is seen by those in the know as totally bizarre and indicative more of ignorance than anything else.
It's a step in vaguely the right direction. Two points:
1) Electric cars are an environmental irrelevance unless the electricity powering them is sourced from renewables.
2) The Aptera seems to be a better alternative to the Volt at a similar price point, so why not mention it in your article?
My 2 cents.
The volt will be powered by 20% nuclear, 50% coal, etc. etc (the usual breakdown). It is a much better environmental proposition than gasoline and it makes production of the energy and american job and does not send money to societies who would like to impose sharia law on the planet. This type of vehicle, could reduce the desire/need/perpensity to get into middle eastern wars.
As far as the Aptera goes, this is a three wheeled two seat motorcycle with a big fairing over the cockpit. It might be a great commuter vehicle but it is not a replacement for the family car like the volt will be. There is also more engineering behind the volt.
The Volt is a great start but why only 40 miles? The EV1 that GM created in 1998 was good for 70 miles. Maybe they should bring those engineers back to the company. Not to mention, there are electric vehicles being made that get anywhere from 100 miles (Phoenix Motor Cars) to 350 miles (Tesla Sports car). So, we know the technology is available, just not the will power it seems. Wouldn't surprise me if the oil companies are paying big money to suppress these companys' ideas.
And don't give me this crap that electric isn't any better than gas because electricity is created from coal or gas. Alternative energys are coming and will inventually take over. Plus, we don't need new infrastructure like Hydrogen would. We already have an electric grid around the country.
In my opinion, the electric car can't come soon enough and GM deserves losing there money on SUV's etc. for being so short sighted and greedy. The EV1 would have put them in the drivers seat of car sales today if they hadn't killed it.
GM should bring back a version of the EV1 with state of the art battery technologies and call it the Revised EV1, or REV1. With gas prices soaring above $4 a gallon on average, reintroducing an EV1 Renaissance (how about EV1-R ?) will draw in tons of buyers, both the cost and the environmentally conscious types. That would be a great road towards reviving GM's image and profitability.
What do you think it should be called -
REV1 or EV1-R ?
All this seems to me that it's totally missing the basic problem: Most people here are facing lower incomes, (I think we're back to 1978 income levels when corrected for inflation) and are hard pressed to drive whatever they have now muchless take on a very expensive new vehicle unless they are commuting far enough to justify the payments to offset the cost of the fuel they're now using. Look on the streets and you see lots of 80 and 90' cars and with the increased costs of operation, there will be more of the oldies out there because we can't make the payments for our newer ones.
The concept of reducing smog isn't relevant in that the power producing plants are the #1 polluters by far not the cars, old or new.
A bit of research tells that there is still lots of oil out there, but it is owned by corporations that are making MASSIVE profits selling it to us at astronomic prices just as they have in Europe long ago.
It's ALL about profits and if we buy the megabuck cars it's just more of the same. Do a cost/benefit analysis and you'll keep your present car!
Given the anticipated improvements of high-torque electric motor and battery technology, there's no reason why fully electric drive-trains can't eclipse IC engines by 2020. And while I disagree with Huber's BigOil-funded conclusions, his "Bottomless Well" is a good resource for EV trends and related data.
As for Sam's comment that EV's are an "environmental irrelevence," I don't think that's true. Net carbon emission from high efficiency, grid-sourced vehicles must trend lower, and will only improve each year as grids (macro and especially local/micro) become more efficient.
One spin off benefit from a large fleet of plugin hybrids will be the massive electric storage that the fleet will provide. If the vehicles were fitted with or connected to smart meters they could become a vital energy storage capacity for the grid.
They would re-charge at off peak -- evening out demand and storing the base-load electricity produced during these hours. During peak load times they could sell electricity back onto the grid. Most of these cars will not need to use all their stored energy on every day -- some simple software in a car could be programmed to determine the correct spare electricity capacity that could be sold off during peak hours, based on the user input commute distance for example or average daily usage over some moving average (say a thirty day average)
While the electric storage of a single vehicle may not seem like much multiply it by a million or ten million and the totals quickly become significant.
The plugin hybrids could also serve as a massive load balancer for the grid and they could do so for very little extra investment and additional technology.
Of course it should also be noted that it is doubtful that the current grid could support the drain of tens of millions of plugin hybrids that chiefly where drawing their power down from the grid. The grid would fail.
Great post Chris. I like those ideas. As for the grid failing because of load, maybe this is where solar panels at home or at the business you work at would fit in. Create our own energy to help feed the system and charge our vehicles. As far as price is concerned, we just need the volume produced and everything will start coming down in price. This is where the government comes in with some tax incentives for EVERYONE, not just big business.
Agreed these present the possibility for a move to a smart grid. thought I am no lover of the big fat hypocrite, Al Gore, but I think this was what was on his mind back when he was stumping for a new grid. Ten million EVS (this figure might become 200 million in time) should also produce the incentive for local pV charging stations, like at company parking lots as well as retail outlets, with coin meters/cc slots, (no reason they can not be profitable too, just like retail gas) as well as provide an additional grid battery for increasing the grid capacity to over the 20% figure presently for commercial wind farms and big solar. The more electric cars the bigger the figure. The willingness of company managers to invest in solar charging for employees coupled with gov. incentives to set these up, both questionable propositions given history,(but things are changing) could bring about a smart grid and much cleaner society less dependant on foreign oil. The war is presently putting the US into debt far into the future and one source I have read claims 1/2 our (US) oil consumption is presently burned by the military itself ?? The move to electric tansport generally is a large task, but will provide a lot of work. A good career choice for a college age kid would be electrician or Electrical engineer. they will be busy for the next few generations. Either that, if things don't change, grave digger.
Jerimiah writes, "I have read claims 1/2 our (US) oil consumption is presently burned by the military itself??"
Iraqi military operations currently consume about 1.2 million barrels per month, but that figure varies widely depending who you read. Total U.S. military consumes about 12 million barrels per month, 70% of that as jet fuel.
Total U.S. non-military oil consumption is roughly 20 million barrels per DAY, a bit more than half as import. So U.S. military is about 2% of total U.S. demand.
thanks John, my bad. 1/2 seemed sort of like a crock given the number of cars on the road. I would also question the figure you gave, depending on/no matter where it came from, though. There seems to be more disinformation than accurate information sometimes on the internet depending on what one is researching or just reading about in passing. I would think it a hard task to include all military related consumption and would not count on the GAO to give accurate/non-bent information at this point in time. And if this figure were somehow accurately found, it would have to be as a factor against peacetime consumption. But I will gladly concede 1/2 is an erroneous and probably ridiculous figure. I should not have posted that figure as it was something I read in passing somewhere without research.
I dont believe GM has the skill to operate in this market. Tesla and other new car manufacturers will hopefully fill the gap, with knowledge and serious intellectual property in electrical design. That way some american companies can still be in the car business.
Let's be honest, GM cant even make the low-voltage electronics in their cars today work well. Do we really expect them to compete with Silicon Valley, or even Toyota and Honda? 40 miles on electricity? That's it??
It is quite sad that people are so negative about GM's efforts to push the technology forward in a meaningful way. Normal people don't want to drive around in electric three-wheelers. They want a regular looking car, that fits their needs and saves fuel.
As for the electricity being "dirty" because of how it was generated - having the option to plug in our cars at least means that as the power gets cleaner we all benefit.
dont need all electric cars,i drove my hybryd ford escape around town (orlando) yesterday and did not use any gasoline, am i missing something here, total miles inc 1 gallon for going home on expressway is 78 miles total mpg is 78 miles per gallon. please tell me im doing the right thing,seems most people have no idea of a hybrid.
I read some comments questioning GM's ability to manufacture electric cars and the EV1. There is a whole documentary about it called, "Who killed the electric car" in 11 parts on youtube. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9vD33UMAtBY&feature=related). I found it eye opening and a fun watch. There is testimony from GM employees who sold/developed it, as well as customers. And of course a bunch of other things you won't believe until you research it yourself.
Tom Gray writes that "the now expected $40k price won't drive away many consumers." I think that is a wildly and unjustifiably optimistic prediction; that's more than twice the price of a nice family car like the corolla which gets better gas mileage. A five thousand dollar premium for alternative power, as the Atlantic article notes, is apparently imaginable to car buyers nowadays (and wasn't a couple of years ago). I think a $10k premium is still within the bounds of reality. A $20k premium puts it into a different ballpark for the average buyer, obviously.
My Prius averages 50 miles per gallon. It tells me so. I think all cars should have that kind of feedback. Most of us would drive more sensibly if we saw from moment to moment what gas mileage we were achieving.
As much as the market needs such a car, GM needs to think is this even possible with today's technology as stated in the article? It just doesn't seem possible to develop all of this technology and have this car, in markets by 2010. My bet is that they'll screw up with the price, dates will be pushed backed, and so forth. Though it is quite an impressive looking car to say the least

Brand new member here. Good forum.
I have this popular auto blog and am not making as much as I think I should be. Adsense is the best earner but even with that, the CTR is not nearly as high as some other niche sites. Also, quite often the ads are related to credit agencies, which pretty are vaugely related to the blog.
What type of Google ads would you say do best on auto sites?
What other ways can I monetise this site, bearing in mind it gets around half a million page views a month with traffic coming from all sources equally i.e. search, returning and referring sites? Adsense is pretty low given the number of page views it gets even when you discount social bookmark traffic (which is not that high anyway).

It was a mess. I'll take a crack at most likely scenario for you. The OP shows up trying to find this mule. Most likely she ran across the FB page for him and wanted the reward they were offering for information. She had no connection to said mule. She also posted the same stuff on other forums and got called out there too. In trying to find info to help the OP, before we found out she didn't know anything, we discovered that the mule had been taken from a barn over a year before it was reported. Again, most likely, the owners owed back board or something of the sort, and the mule was sold to cover those bills. After a year, the owners decided that enough time had passed that they could report the mule stolen, and get him back that way. They knew the mule had been at the trader's farm, but my guess (this is just a guess, mind you) is that they had to wait for the mule to be sold to someone before they could claim it stolen, because probably whoever sold the mule to the traders was the one owed money by the original owners. I'm sure they had hopes that whoever had bought the mule would hear about it, feel bad, and then give him back. There is no other reason to wait a year to report the mule stolen.
The person who claimed the mule had died was either someone looking to stir up a dead thread for kicks, or (again, just my GUESS, since this was their only post) is possibly the person in possession of the mule now OR maybe someone who knows where it is, and is sick of all the publicity about a stolen mule that wasn't really stolen. Can you imagine buying a horse and then being told it was stolen and how much they miss it and want it back, when it was never stolen to begin with, but sold to pay debts?
But it's really a moot point, since the OP and MuleGal have not been around for a while now.

The English Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden
English Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden -
With such foggy weather and beautiful surroundings such as these, you might think I'm standing in the middle of England somewhere. But, actually this is one of most exceptional examples of the English gardening style and it's in the heartland of America at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Allen: Why an English Garden here in the middle of the heartland of America'
John Beaudry, Chicago Botanic Garden, Senior Horticulturist: Well, it has been a dream of the Women's Board for many years to have an English walled garden and they wanted to have it because it's the roots of where gardening in this country has come from. The English Walled Garden is something people can really relate to; it's intimate and yet it has many elements that are classic English features.
Allen: Yes, people can relate to it. I think it's the sense of enclosure, don't you'
John: The sense of enclosure is a big part of it because that's how most of our yards are.
Allen: Someone can come and look at this English garden and come away from it with ideas they can apply in their own garden.
John: That's something that we try to point out people when they come through-that they may not be able to create an English walled garden in their back yard, but they can take some of the simple ideas, like this pergola behind us, or this checkerboard on a smaller scale.
Allen: The element that's quintessentially English is, of course, is that border out on the outside of the wall.
John: Yes it is, the perennial border, it's actually a combination of many different types of plants. There are trees, there are shrubs, there are perennials, annuals, vines-all of the layers of a garden are there.
From the garden, I'm P. Allen Smith.

Google unveils its Project WingComment on this story
San Francisco - Google's secretive research laboratory is trying to build a fleet of drones designed to bypass earthbound traffic so packages can be delivered to people more quickly.
The ambitious program announced on Thursday escalates Google's technological arms race with rival Amazon.com Inc., which also is experimenting with self-flying vehicles to carry merchandise bought by customers of its online store.
Amazon is mounting its own challenges to Google in online video, digital advertising and mobile computing in a battle that also involves Apple.
Google calls its foray into drones "Project Wing."
Although Google expects it to take several more years before its fleet of drones is fully operational, the company says test flights in Australia delivered a first aid kit, candy bars, dog treats and water to two farmers after travelling a distance of roughly one kilometre, or just over a half mile, two weeks ago. Google's video of the test flight, set to the strains of the 1969 song Spirit In The Sky, can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?vcRTNvWcx9Oo .
Besides perfecting their aerial technology, Google and Amazon still need to gain government approval to fly commercial drones in many countries, including the US Amazon last month asked the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to expand its drone testing. The FAA currently allows hobbyists and model aircraft makers to fly drones, but commercial use is mostly banned.
Project Wing is the latest venture to emerge from Google's "X" lab, which has also been working on self-driving cars as well as other far-flung innovations that company CEO Larry Page likens to "moonshots" that push the technological envelope. The lab's other handiwork includes Internet-connected eyewear called Google Glass, Internet-beaming balloons called Project Loon and a high-tech contact lens that monitors glucose levels in diabetics.
Google says it is striving to improve society through the X's lab's research, but the Glass device has faced criticism from privacy watchdogs leery of the product's ability to secretly record video and take pictures. Investors also have periodically expressed frustration with the amount of money that Google has been pouring into the X lab without any guarantee the products will ever pay off.
A team led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology aeronautics professor Nick Roy already has been working on Project Wing for two years, according to Google. The Mountain View, California, company didn't disclose how much the project has cost.
Drones clearly could help Google expand an existing service that delivers goods purchased online on the day that they were ordered. Google so far is offering the same-day delivery service by automobiles in parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and New York.
"Self-flying vehicles could open up entirely new approaches to moving goods, including options that are cheaper, faster, less wasteful and more environmentally sensitive than what's possible today," Google said in a pamphlet outlining Project Wing.
Google, though, seems to see its drones as something more than another step in e-commerce delivery. The aerial vehicles also could make it easier for people to share certain items, such as a power drill, that they may only need periodically and carry emergency supplies to areas damaged by earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural catastrophes, according to Google's Project Wing pamphlet. - Sapa-AP

Ryan Gracie (August 14, 1974 – December 15, 2007), was a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts fighter with a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Master Renzo Gracie(his brother)and Master Carlos Gracie Jr.(founder of Gracie Barra). He was one of the most famous members of the Gracie family, and the grandson of Carlos Gracie(the original founder of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). The PRIDE Fighting Championship organization billed Ryan as the "bad boy" of the Gracie family because of his reputed experience fighting in the streets of Brazil. Anyone traveling to Brazil and mentioning Brazilian Jiu jitsu was suer to hear the famous name, Ryan Gracie. Famed for not only his invincibility in the street but also for his aggression and technical superiority on the mats and in the ring.
Ryan trained with his brother Renzo Gracie, who often served as his cornerman during his fights. He also trained Pancrase fighter Gabriel Vella and jiu-jitsu world champion Fabio Leopoldo while in Brazil.
Ryan Gracie had seven fights in the PRIDE organization, with his first at PRIDE 10 in 2000 and his most recent at PRIDE Shockwave 2004.
Ryan Gracie developed a strong team in Sao Paulo, Brazil where he lived. After his sudden passing in 2007, his academy continues to this day to develop strong competitors and to be a powerhouse in the Paulista(Sao Paulo state)and National Jiu jitsu tournaments.

Founded in 1995, NHL Diversity provides support and unique programming to not-for-profit youth hockey organizations across North America that are committed to offering economically disadvantaged boys and girls of all ages opportunities to play hockey. Since its inception, NHL Diversity has exposed more than 40,000 boys and girls to unique hockey experiences.
Willie O'Ree is the National Hockey League's Director of Youth Development and hockey ambassador for NHL Diversity, a post he has held since January 1998. A former Boston Bruin, O'Ree's first game on January 18, 1958 against the Montreal Canadiens was marked with historic content as he became the first black person to play in the NHL.
The 2007-2008 season will mark the 50th anniversary of O'Ree's NHL debut with the Boston Bruins. To commemorate his work and recognize this milestone, O'Ree and the National Hockey League will host numerous initiatives throughout the season at both the local and national levels-including events celebrating the diversity of the game and the "Hockey is for Everyone" initiative. To learn more about Willie, click here.
There are approximately 30 inner-city, volunteer organizations in various stages of development that receive support from the National Hockey League. To find out if there is a program in your community, or if you're interested in starting a program in your community, please contact the NHL at 212-789-2000.
Launched in 1997, the Willie O'Ree All-Star Game is an annual celebration of the multicultural heritage of the NHL as boys and girls, 12 and under, representing NHL diversity programs from across North America, interact with NHL players, attend an NHL game, and enjoy the host city. The highlight of the weekend is the actual game, in which coed teams compete in an east-versus-west format. The Willie O'Ree All-Star game will return for the 2008-2009 season.

Industry figures share their views on the latest issues. If you have an idea for a guest column, email firstname.lastname@example.com
In the latest entry by The Drum's anonymous blogger, revealing news from within Scotland's media it wouldn't want you to hear, Glasgow broadsheet The Herald is apparently at a loss as to how to replace its deputy business editor.
Mark Smith, The Herald's hard-working Deputy Business Editor, has stunned colleagues by announcing he's decided to leave.
Originally from the USA, he is heading back across The Atlantic to Florida with his family to begin a new career.
His job will be advertised shortly and it's thought an external candidate will be considered.
The job spec hasn't been announced yet but would it be surprising, in these challenging times, if the paper's senior management tried to save money on the salary?
Mark's will be a hard act to follow. Apart from being a talented journalist with loads of experience, he is also a successful author. His "Treblinka Survivor" (published by The History Press in 2010) tells the tragic story of Hershl Sperling, who was a neighbour and friend in Glasgow.
Hershl was one of fewer than 70 Jews who got out of Treblinka alive. Over 800,000 others didn't make it.
The book tracks his life as he survives a nazi prison camp, four concentration camps and two death camps before committing suicide in Scotland 50 years later.
Opinion, blogs and columnists - call them what you like - this is the section where people have something to say. You might agree or you might not - whatever opinion you have make your views known in comments. Views of writers are not necessarily those of The Drum.

and eat it too! Instead of using the egg, oil and water, next time oyu make a chocolate cake use a small can of pumpkin mix instead! Its still moist and does NOT taste like pumpkin. My 8yr old and bf can't tell the difference!
you are NOT addicted to food... you are addicted to the way food makes you feel or a memory associated with it.Often times we eat because we are bored (something to do), to procrastinate (after I eat this), to celebrate (Let them eat cake!), when we are stressed (chocolate), when we are PMSing (really another type of stress), etc.We eat because we remember... for instance, most people have happy memories associated with cake (birthdays) and chocolate (boxes of candy)...
I'm not a rice cake advocate, but try Quaker's Chocolate Crunch Rice Cakes--only 60 calories for a large cake (I have 2 for snack or dessert) and has yummy, mini chocolate chips. Great chocolate satisfier & no bad carbs, sugars, fat!
Ok, ok...I ate a piece of chocolate cake... :( or two...LOL...4

Email Autoresponder Benefits You Should Know About
If you are like most people, when you shop on the internet, you look for the best deals. If you think about it, you'll probably find that you don't purchase something on your first visit to a site, unless it's some highly anticipated electronic item maybe. It's true that many online shoppers will make impulse purchases. You also have to consider, however, the many shoppers who won't make a purchase until they are better informed about the item. If you take the time to educate the visitor about the product before he or she reaches your sales page, they will be primed and ready to buy after a while. This is what email autoresponders are designed to do, as they sends emails to your prospects telling them whatever you want. You can find a simple and free autoresponder on Gmail and other email services that offer this option. Many people set up autoreponder messages to tell people, for example, that they are away for the weekend and will return their email as soon as possible. For our purposes, however, we need something a little more advanced, what is known as a sequential autoresponder. You want a high end autoresponder that gives you the ability to send as many messages as you want, and have them sent out at intervals that you choose. This can be set up to email a seven part e-course or a once per week newsletter, depending on your needs. We all need to learn more affiliate marketing methods constantly because the world of internet marketing is constantly evolving. So have a look at this WPSyndicator webpage.
The primary benefit of an autoresponder is that it provides convenience with managing your email, and it will help you convert optins into customers. No need or worry about making those forms for people to sign-up, all of that will be provided to you. This sign up form contains the "fill in"boxes where you can grab your visitors contact info. You only need to ask for email addresses and a name from people, and that will work because the more you ask for the fewer people will sign-up. People optin when they sign-up using your form, so after that they'll be a subscriber and on your mailing list. If you want to know what is working for you and what isn't, you should always keep track of your results. By tracking the click through percentages of the links in your emails you can determine how well the campaign is performing. To do this, split test your campaigns. Well known autoresponder services give you the tracking tools that show you clearly what campaign is working. You'll also have access to other statistics so you can find out things like which traffic sources are most responsive.
The obvious benefit of an autoresponder is how it allows you to give away information to your list. You could even set up an entire online course, with numbered lessons that you load and send to your subscribers. This is a great way to build your reputation and trust, and at the same time save lots of time on managing these classes. While your goal is to profit from your list, the best way to do this is to share quality content so that your subscribers will know you are sincere in wanting to help them.
When it comes to building your business and branding yourself, there is no better tool to use than an autoresponder. An autoresponder service is a very powerful automated tool that can benefit you in many ways.

-fill your blog with at least 100 articles with same keyword you have chosen ASAP and then update your blog on a daily basis.
That's it, you are done. And that is one of the best website ideas that make money online fast and simply. Almost forgot, Google AdSense will pay you for each click on their ads from $0.05 to $1, so if your blog's ads will be getting 1000 clicks per day you will be getting from $50 to $1,000 every single day. And I am not talking here about commissions you will be getting from ClickBank as well. So keep in your mind if you want to start seeing money coming to your pocket in two weeks time use this idea.
2. On second place out of best ideas that make money online fast and simply is working as an affiliate. The process is quite simple as well, but you will have to invest some money in order to see money coming fast to your hands.
-pick up a niche as usually, something that is always on demand.
-pick up a product using service like ClickBank, but choose one that has "grav." less than 100 and more than 40. By the way "grav." Field means popularity of this or that product online.
-create an account with Aweber autoresponder, because you will be building a list of subscribers which will become your customers.
-create a landing or squeeze page, using free templates and say something like "If you would like to see the product I am offering for a limited time please enter your name and email address below and I will redirect you to this product instantly".
-advertise your landing page and product using Google PPC. But be careful, you must pick up the keywords that will cost you less than $0.50 per click. Because only 3% buys from the first time. So that means if you will be promoting a product that pays $20 commission for each sale, after you deliver 100 people to this product you will spend $50 and you will make $60, cause 3 out of 100 visitors will buy. Statistic. You might say here: "only $10 in profits?! that's not a lot for so much work being done". I do agree with you %100, but here is a secret. Those people will be in your email list, and for example if you will gather 1000 subscribers and by statistic %10 buy, you will be getting lots of money every single week. 100x$20=$2000 per week. Hope you guessed that you must send promotional email only once per week to your subscribers.
3. And now its time to have a little chat about the third one of the best website ideas that make money fast and simply. Creating your own product. If you have got money to invest you can hire someone to create a website for you with a good sales page and promote this your product via ClickBank and other similar affiliate marketing programs. And in this case other people will be selling for you this product and you will be just paying out commissions. But make sure to represent your product fantastically so people will see that this product worth offering to their customers.
That's it for now, I hope you will make the right choice after reading "Best Website Ideas That Make Money Fast and Simply" article and you will pick up the idea that you think is best for you. To your success.

Main Deck
60 cards
Guillaume Matignon of France narrowly missed the 2010 Player of the Year title at Pro Tour Paris, part of Magic Weekend Paris. The Standard deck he opted to bring to battle is a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas very similar to the list that took American Patrick Chapin to the Top 8 of the event. Though it wasn't good enough to fend off Brad Nelson, who dispatched Matignon to lock up the title, it is a fascinating new addition to the world of Standard. Read full coverage of the event here.

|Who hired Todd Haley as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator? (US Presswire)
How much power does Steelers coach Mike Tomlin really have within the organization? That's the question the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's Ron Cook asks in a column written after Pittsburgh hired Todd Haley as the new offensive coordinator.
It seems that Tomlin wanted to keep former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians but was told by owner Art Rooney II that Arians would not be brought back for 2012 (Arians subsequently retired and then took a job as the Indianapolis offensive coordinator).
As we wrote last month, "The organization was not going to renew Arians' contract, and in essence, was going to fire him without officially having to fire him. 'That decision,' writes reporter Gerry Dulac, 'appears to have come from team president Art Rooney II, even though coach Mike Tomlin told Arians several times since the playoff loss in Denver that he wanted him to return next season.' Now, it appears Tomlin was overruled by his boss."
Was Tomlin overruled again by having to hire the former Chiefs coach to replace Arians?
As Cook writes:
Hey, all speculation is fair until we hear from Tomlin or more from Rooney. I can't say for sure one way or the other who hired Haley. We might never know. But I do know this: If Rooney forced Haley on Tomlin after forcing out Arians after a 12-4 season, Tomlin can't possibly like it.That said, the Steelers have done well by Tomlin as well, so in reality, he can't complain that much. And besides, the Rooneys are some of the most respected owners in all of sports.
Nor should he.
It would be enough to make Tomlin at least consider his long-term future with the Steelers, especially now that Rooney II appears to have taken nearly complete control of the franchise from his father, Dan.
Tomlin has done a wonderful job here. He is as successful as just about any coach in the NFL. In five years, he has convinced me he's a better coach than Bill Cowher before him. And Cowher was terrific.
But they haven't just risked alienating Tomlin. They've also risked upsetting their franchise quarterback.
|Pittsburgh's offensive upheaval
But Roethlisberger also made sure the owners heard his voice after Arians' contract wasn't renewed. And he gave a hint of future frustrations.
"That was my biggest talking point to Mike and those guys -- I would hate to just throw everything out and start over because I feel it would set us back two or three years because these guys are just starting to get it," Roethlisberger said.
"I hope we don't have to start over and if we do, you know what, here we go. Let's do it. We'll do it. We're not going to complain about it. But I would hate to have to set certain guys back who are doing so well right now."

Peacock brothers' tense wait as they eye Glasgow Commonwealth Games selection
- From: Mercury
- May 06, 2014
THERE will be no more nervous household in Tasmania than the Peacocks' on June 1.
That is when the Australian Commonwealth Games team will be announced with brothers Hamish (javelin) and Huw (hammer throw) right in the mix.
The boys are coached by their dad Evan, while grandfather John is the brothers' strength and conditioning coach and mentor.
Hamish, 23, is an extremely strong chance for one of the three javelin spots, having represented Australia at last year's world championships and finishing second in the recent national champs.
Huw, 21, is seeking his first senior team selection and is a bit more on edge.
With only two hammer spots up for grabs, Huw finished third at the national championships s but the second-place thrower is unavailable for selection.
"It is just a waiting game right now but the prospect of being in the team with Hamish is quite exciting," Huw said.
"It is kind of nervous waiting. Hamish is in a very, very strong position where my position is not quite as strong as his."
Hamish said their support for each other was unquestionable.
The duo could be just two of a 12-strong Tasmanian team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from July 23 to August 3.
Boxers Jackson Woods and Nick Cooney, cyclist Amy Cure and weightlifter Jenna Myers are all but confirmed, while Tristan Thomas (athletics), hockey trio Eddie Ockenden, Tim Deavin and Nick Budgeon and cyclists Richie Porte and Matt Goss are in strong contention.
To help the athletes, the Premier's Dinner fundraiser will be held on May 24 at Wrest Point casino.

Elijah ben Solomon ha-Kohen (ben Azariah ben Israel Gaon ha-Kohen), Gaon of Palestine Yeshiva of Tyre
|Immediate Family:
Son of Solomon ben Azariah Gaon ha-Kohen

Immediate Family
About Elijah ben Solomon ha-Kohen, Gaon of Palestine Yeshiva of Tyre
Elijah ben Solomon ha-Kohen was gaon of the Palestinian yeshiva from 1062 till his death in 1083. His father, Solomon, had served as gaon for barely one year, in 1025, and Elijah's elder brother, Joseph, was av beit din of the yeshiva during the gaonate of Daniel ben Azariah . After Joseph's death in 1053, Elijah took over as av bet din, and he succeeded to the gaonate on the death of Daniel ben Azariah in 1062.
The period during which Elijah held office was a time of severe crisis in Palestine. Between 1071 and 1073 the Seljuks wrested the country from the Fatimids, remaining in control until 1089. Elijah and the entire yeshiva (most of them members of his family) were forced to leave Jerusalem. They decided to move to Tyre because it had a large, well-organized Jewish community and, according to some rabbinic opinions, was within the boundaries of the Land of Israel. Tyre had other advantages as well: it was a port city, which facilitated communications with Jewish communities along the Mediterranean coast, especially in Egypt, and the local government was tolerant toward Jews.
Documents from the Cairo Geniza are almost completely silent about Elijah's activities in Tyre, and consequently very little is known about them. Two years before his death, Elijah convened an assembly of representatives from all the Jewish communities, to be held, as was customary, on Hoshana Rabba, but in Tyre rather than Jerusalem, a deviation from tradition. At the convocation he announced that his son Abiathar would inherit the gaonate, and that his other son, Solomon, would become av bet din. One year later, on the same date, he convened an assembly on the territory of the Holy Land proper, in Haifa, where he renewed the appointments and declared all-out war against his Egyptian-based political rival, David ben Daniel ben Azariah , who aspired to take the gaonate away from him. Elijah died in 1083 and was buried in Dalton in the Upper Galilee.

Any ideas why the FLAC files created in dbPoweramp would be incorrectly identified as WAV by fb2k on playback? The same files are correctly identified via Mezzmo. Are there any known dbPoweramp-fb2k compatibility issues?

|Dairy processing.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12951735 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The United States dairy processing sector is dynamic and adaptive to new changes in the market place. Changes in consumer preferences and manufacturing technologies are resulting in new challenges to the processing sector. Consumers want a wider array of quality dairy products. Fluid processors are adapting to changing consumer demands for beverage products by introducing new flavors, providing ultrapasteurization, and using creative packaging. In addition, United States food manufacturers are requesting dairy processors to provide new dairy fractions such as MPC for new nutrition products. United States dairy policy is attempting to adapt to these changes. Federal order reform has resulted in new market-oriented signals for dairy farmers to produce what the market wants; namely, quality milk components. US dairy farmers, however, also wants to maintain programs such as the DPSP that have had the unfortunate consequence of spurring demand for protein imports (i.e., MPCs, casein, and caseinates) and also resulted in a disincentive to produce these new innovative protein products here in the United States. Surplus skim milk solids are now moving into US Government warehouses rather than into commercial markets. The future of the United States dairy industry will clearly be toward producing innovative products that the market wants. There is a strong market for dairy products not only here in the United States but also overseas, which will mean learning to compete on a global scale. The challenge is to modernize our United States milk pricing programs to provide dairy farmers and processors proper price signals while providing a minimum level of support to dairy farmers. The benefit of a greater orientation toward the market place will be stronger rates of growth for United States-produced dairy products.

Anna Chong, a student from London College of Fashion took fashion cues from Lady Gaga, not for herself thankfully, but for dolls! She created the miniaturized Lady Gaga's iconic dresses for Japanese toy company named Bandai. This 23-year-old student has successfully duplicated 9 Lady Gaga's dresses including the Alexander McQueen's red lace outfit, Armani's orbit dress and Haus of Gaga's bubble dress. Anna admitted that Gaga's meat dress was the hardest to be recreated. "It takes two weeks to create as she tested numerous outfits made from salami, honey roasted ham and raw beef strips before settling on a number made using the finest quality Parma ham," she explained. And it was so kind of her to share the tutorial video of making this meat dress. Why are these sensational dresses miniaturized? It turns out that it is the way to to promote Harumika (mini-mannequin produced by Bandai) at the London Toy Fair which opens Wednesday, 25 January, 2011. Actually, these tiny dresses are not for sale. But you can still recreate the meat dress as the tutorial given. Question is, will you?

(Working Title) ELECTRIC MALADY
Country of co-production: Canada
Development support from Creative Scotland and Lowik Media (Canada)
ELECTRIC MALADY is a documentary film combined with a digital interactive experience that explores what it's like to suffer from Electrosensitivity.
Having experienced herself the effects of Electrosensitivity (ES), Swedish filmmaker Marie Liden explores the vulnerability of people suffering this condition, in an age when more than ever we are exposed to the effects of electrical networks and with few places to escape them.
In Sweden during the late 1980's people started reporting unusual health issues, with symptoms directly related to electricity. In the beginning it was seen as a modern-day hysteria that mainly affected women. Doctors and the media dismissed these women as 'Sveda, Värk och Bränn Kärringar', roughly translated as 'Scorching Burning Bitches'.
The film aims to demystify this increasingly common illness and to help provide some answers to the science behind it.
Director: Marie Liden
A collaboration with Canadian producers Bart Simpson and Lucie Tremblay of Lowik Media Interactive platform design and development: Jamie Balliu of Up Creatives

Iconic and acclaimed film director Victor Kossakovsky takes us on an epic journey, at the heart of which is the majestic element: water. Filming from an iceberg as it ruptures from a polar ice sheet and traverses the open sea, we experience the beauty of this essential life-giving element as well as its shattering power.
In Victor Kossakosvky's own words:
"… through the natural lens of water you can see, experience and feel the ebb and flow of all known human emotions – anger, aggression, peacefulness, nobility, loneliness, jealousy…everything! …I want to film every possible emotion that can be experienced whilst interacting with water: beautiful emotions along with horrible ones. Ecstasy and inspiration, destruction and human devastation."
Director: Victor Kossakovsky

This film follows Shorouq, a girl who lives in Gaza who soon will be celebrating her 15th birthday. In her community this means compulsory womanhood, being ready for marriage, wearing the hijab, no more playing with friends in the street, especially with boys. Shorouq is an intelligent, socially engaging girl who can be rebellious. She is not ready to face womanhood as war rages around her.
It is a simple, touching, human story that puts us in touch with the meaning of 'adulthood' and the paradoxes associated with it.
