The Fort Wayne Community School system alone transports 25,000 children on a daily basis.
WFFT's Brooke Welch spoke with officials that want to remind everyone to watch out for school buses and crosswalks.
17,000 children in the United States found themselves in the hospital last year due to a school bus related accident. 20% of school bus deaths are caused by motorists not paying attention.
Bobby Lucas has driven a school bus for 6 years and says it's a big problem.
"I think that's frustrating to most bus drivers because actually the kids, their lives are involved because when you see someone running a stop arm that might mean someone's life."
Last year in Indiana, bus drivers reported over 2,600 instances of vehicles violating the stop arm.
Frank Jackson is the Director of Transportation at Fort Wayne Community Schools and says, "The first thing they want to look for is the yellow flashing lights and the yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is about to make a stop to pick up children. Then the lights will turn red, and that indicates that the bus is going to come to a stop."
If you decide to run a stop arm, it will cost you big bucks. Sergeant Ron Galaviz with the Indiana State Police says, "Stop arm violation in the state of Indiana is an infraction and it is punishable by a $10,000 fine."
Since running a stop arm is an infraction, a bus driver can press charges without a police officer seeing the incident.
"School bus drivers are our number on compliant and they are vigilant and they are watching because they are sitting up at a higher vantage point. They are watching for these dangers inherent in and around school buses and school bus stops."
Officials just want everyone to slow down and pay attention.
"Makes you feel, um how is it that people can be so unconcerned about the lives of children. Especially when they see a bus stopped, and most people have knowledge about the fact that they should stop around buses."
With thousands of children being transported in our viewing area daily, officials just want to remind everyone to be safe and follow all legal laws around school buses so that everyone can have a safe and happy school year.

Seminar tackles identity theft
By: Penne Usher, Journal Staff Writer
Auburn Police officer tells how not to be a victim
When someone calls you, don't give them information over the phone " ever. You will never win the Canadian Lottery " there isn't one. Shred everything, even your junk mail. This is just some of the advice that Sgt. Dale Hutchins of the Auburn Police Department offered to community members during a luncheon seminar Wednesday on how not become a victim of identity theft. Identity theft is the fastest -growing crime in the country, Hutchins said. It takes a lot of time and resources to solve just one case. It costs a victim of identity theft about $1,500 and six months to get their credit back to normal, he said. Hutchins told the audience of about 20 that gathered at Kathmandu Kitchen in Auburn of a real case involving an Auburn man in his 80s who fell prey to the Canadian Lottery scam. It cost him $80,000 when it was all said and done, Hutchins said. The man was notified of the winnings and asked to pay an export fee of $2,500 to be sent to an address in Canada by Western Union. Next there was a customs fee followed by more fees and more money being sent out of the country. Once the money is sent, it can be intercepted with the routing code anywhere in the world, Hutchins said. His was picked up in Russia. Someone in Russia is $80,000 richer. Kathleen Moore attended the joint seminar co-sponsored by Wachovia Securities. She said she'd heard a lot of the information before, however, she was surprised at the rate the crime is increasing. The fact that it's a growing crime and there are few repercussions is amazing, she said. It's a relevant topic and we should all be educated. With identity theft there is no direct contact with the victim and no weapon used. In most cases it's straight theft and often a misdemeanor. Hutchins suggested checking credit reports every six months and if you become a victim of identity theft to file a police report with local law enforcement, notify all credit card companies, banks and credit reporting bureaus. He emphasized not releasing any personal information to anyone who calls " ever. The Journal's Penne Usher can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a comment on auburnjournal.com.

Brighten up your space with a piece of homemade art! Create your own Glue Art Wall Hanging from Candace Jedrowicz by using the vintage burnt brown bag technique. DIY wall decor has never looked better! This project uses metallic powders to add a special touch.
- Canvases – four any size
- Aleene's Original tacky Glue
- Cardboard
- Sponge brush
- Scissors
- Candle and matches
- Metallic powders – I used blue, green and copper
- Gold Rub 'n Buff
- Heat gun
- Cut your cardboard design pieces and set them aside.I cut cardboard to make two wavy designs and two angular designs.
- Completely cover the canvas with Aleene's Tacky Glue.
- Place designs on canvas and cover with glue. Allow to dry.
- When the glue is dry, set up your candle and get ready to move fast.Cover 1/4 of the canvas with glue.
- Move the glued area directly over the flame. Keep it moving until the glue is no longer shiny.The glue will bubble and crackle. In this photo I turned the canvas over to show the glue turning black. You'll want to keep the wet glue are directly over the flame.
- This is how the burned canvas should look. Flat black with now shiny areas.
- Use a wet or dry cloth to wipe off the soot.
- This photo shows two of the designs – one finished and one unfinished.The unfinished surface is really wonderful by itself, but I specifically wanted to try the metallic powder as a finish.
- Use a moist paper towel or wet wipe to pick up the powder and dab it on the canvas.
- To set the powders, hit it with a heat gun for several seconds. Keep checking it by touching the surface. It's done when there is no color on your fingers.
- Finish with gold Rub n Buff on some edges and textures. Allow to dry.

The staff were extremely helpful & did contribute to making our stay most enjoyable. Factilites & rooms are to be recommended. The location is good, near the river & a fab cafe in St Stephen's Square
Excellent staff, excellent service, good location

homeless with small child where can i get help
My daughter has found her self homeless with a 2 year old .. with no money and we dont know where to find help shes staying with me but we just dont have the room and she needs to find somewhere to live what help is she entitiled to she works 18 hours hours a week and is looking to private rent has she does not want to beplaced just anywhere .. ia there anywhere we can ring to get the support that we need .....
I was also homeless with two young children and I went straight to my council offices and asked for help. They were great and made an application for me to go into a womens refuge while they found me somewhere to live. I was just placed anywhere as I made it clear I needed to stay in the same town as my mum.
If she's dead against going down that route then go to your local CAB tomorrow theyll be able to advise on what she needs to do and who to speak to.
I hope everything goes well for her
P x
Hi i hope i can help a wee bit. Ive been in this situation over the last couple of weeks.
I went straight to the council and had a homeless interview and also filled out a housing application then on the same day went round the housing associations to be placed on there list, just fill the forms in there also on the council application asked to be nominated to the associations lists as this can help gain extra point and get on the lists faster, i have now been given a new build in a lovely area from the housing association and it has only taken 4 weeks.
she will have priority as she has a child and also there is not enough room at your house so there is over crowding.
Just be honest and tell them exactly how it is.
I would say thats the first things to do, then visit the CAB have a word with them and see if there is anything else they can suggest. She could go for a private let as well but make sure she checks out the Local Housing Allowance or how much max the council can help her pay towards rent/council tax. Visit Check your benefit entitlement and make sure she is getting all the help financially that she is entitled to.
Such a horrible situation and i hope she can get it all sorted out soon xx

Hi Caroline
I am glad to see that you have had some supportive replies from the other mums.
This must be a very hard time for your daughter, grandchild and yourself. I can see that you care about them so much, and its great that you have been able to support her when she has really needed you. However it sounds like you need to find a way for her to get support and guidance to move on, and start her new life with her little one.
Caroline I am going to ask our partner from the CAB to come and take a look at your post, to see if they can offer you any support. Please keep an eye on your thread for their response over the next few days.
I hope your daughter can find a new and happy home for her little family.

Hi Caroline,
Sorry to read about your daughter's problem.
Like others I'd suggest that her first port of call has to be the council's homelessness team and make an application as homeless.
There are various criteria that she will have to pass and from my reading of the situation she meets 3 of the five and one of the five doesn't seem to apply and the intentionally homeless we don't know:-
Test one: is the applicant a person arriving in, or returning to, the UK, who is ineligible for housing under homelessness law - doesn't seem to apply
Test two: is the applicant statutorily homeless or threatened with homelessness - yes
Test three: is the applicant in priority need - yes
Test four: is the applicant intentionally homeless - don't know
Test five: does the applicant have a local connection - yes
It is really test four that she will need to show that she meets as otherwise they will reject her application if they can.
She also needs to be aware that getting social housing can be a real problem as there is nowhere near enough for the number of people that need it. As others have said coucnils do have schemes that help people like your daughter with the deposit and the first months rent to get into private property.
She also needs to make sure that she's getting all the benefits and tax credits she can and the CAB should be able to help her with that.
If she really has trouble with the council regarding help with finding somewhere to live she needs to contact Shelter as they're the experts in this field.
Hope this helps your daughter get a place of her own near enough to you so that she has family support around her.
My kids father is letting me stay. Im homeless with 3 kids, do u think the council will help me?

Hello Louise,
I'm sorry to hear that you are also facing a difficult housing situation
Contacting Shelter is a really good idea, they can talk through all the options available 0808 800 4444
Talking through the options with someone at your local council is also a good idea.
This is an older thread that you have replied too Louise, if you would like some additional support please do come back and talk some more, you may find it helpful to start a new thread so we can offer you our full support.
Take Care
Thankyou alot
help anyone.
hello i need help, i had a lovely brand new build flat i was the first one in there with my one week old baby boy and partner. Then things got out of control and i had broken up with his dad. Had to go through court to get my home back as it was joint tennacy. i was there for 2 years after i had won in court got my flat back with me and my boy. i then decided to do a home swapp i was so up for it when i was on the home swapper for at least 4 months and someone messaged me saying did i want to view their place it was in okehampton. so i viewed the flat with my mum it was perfect sized and everything for mine and my sons future. i asked what the nieghbours were like and i quote she said the usual noise that children make i moved in on the 20 th april 2014. it took all day to move in then about 10 oclock in the evening their music went on for the first time i just moved in the it was as if i was in a night club, i knocked on their door and said can you turn it down because me and my boy cant sleep and we just un packed all day and wanted to sleep! their reply was no. at that point i thought god i have been completely stitched up . i mailed the girl i swapped with saying you said the neighbours were fine she said they party all night long but i knew if i told you that you wouldnt of signed the tennacy. that point i cryed all i wanted was the best for my boy and me new future every day (early hours,afternoons,evening) then music was on thumping. i phoned the housing there reply was we will talk to them and give them a warning but they didnt because i asked my new neighbours if anyone spoken to them, their reply was no!! i was there until august sometime i got arrassed daily i wouldnt go out the flat i didnt know anyone from okehampton which made it worse so i gave my notice in to leave the place. i left. i went to mothers but she is down sizing from a 4 bed to a two with my brother and sister and her so their is no room for me and my 3 nearly 4 son. i went to council and they said sorry cant do nothing for you, as you had a perfectly good flat in okehampton because there was no evidence against them neighbours in okehampton we cant help you. surely they could if i had a child too. i have to go private which i cant afford i know a landlord who i asked if he had anywhere and he doesnt at the moment. im really struggling at the moment my son isnt settled because of this, i dont sleep niether im going to the doctors tomorrow to speak to them. i just wanted the best for my boy in a lovely new fresh home and i feel i couldnt even do that. that girl is moving out of my old flat which i swapped for the one in okehampton and that upset me the most as me and my boy could of stayed there afterall. i feel i have failed my son and his future. please dont slate me as i havent done anything wrong in my eyes. i just want to find my son and me a home where was are safe. thanks for reading just nice to let it out and have someone listen.

Welcome to Netmums My name is Adele and I am one of the parent supporters here on the boards.
Sorry to read what you are going through with your housing situation It sounds like you have had a bit of bad-luck with your new tenancy. You have already approached the council and they said that they can't do anything. Are the able to put you on the list for another house swap or another place?
You might decide to give 'Shelter' a call Housing advice helpline - Shelter England - they are very good at offering advice about all housing related issues, there is an article here about what you are going through:
How to deal with a neighbour dispute - Shelter England
I hope this helps, Adele

With baby and nearly homeless
Hi everyone wish you can help me
I live with my mum in her privately rented house with my partner, since having a baby she has been very horrible and we always get into a argument. She has threatened to kick us out couple of times and i have a feeling she means it. The atmosphere and arguments are not doing me or the baby any good. I feel trapped but feel scared we may come homeless. Was thinking of going to my local council and telling them the situation and see what they can do for us?
Do you think there is a chance for housing?
Or any kind of help? My partner was in full time job but only does, 20 hours now, can't even rent private if we wanted to!

It appears the Bulls aren't completely done with their late-season roster maneuvers.
A pair of veterans who have played for the team in the past, point guard Mike James and power forward Lou Amundson, will be signing with the Bulls in the near future, according to a league source.
James played for the Bulls earlier this season and Amundson, who played for New Orleans earlier in the campaign, was briefly on the team last season.
Both players would be playoff-eligible because neither was on an NBA roster on March 1.
[RELATED: Ronnie Brewer back in the fold for the Bulls]
After adding another familiar face, swingman Ronnie Brewer, the impending signings of James and Amundson would put the Bulls at the limit of 15 players on the roster heading into the postseason.
James, who is very familiar with Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau's system, would likely be the team's third point guard behind starter Kirk Hinrich and backup D.J. Augustin, meaning another in-season acquisition, Jimmer Fredette, is probably regarded as more of a an off-the-ball spot-up shooter and not a primary ballhandler.
Amundson would give the Bulls another body on the interior, providing depth behind starting power forward Carlos Boozer and sixth man Taj Gibson.

The other day I had an employee tell me that he needed me to motivate him. As I stared, dumbfounded, and started to address his concern, it reminded me of some critical characteristics that I look for in employees.
Are they passionate about what they're doing? People who have passion will be motivated to succeed simply because they love what they're doing.
How do they handle adversity or criticism? Nobody's perfect. At one point or another, everybody faces adversity or criticism. I'm always curious to see how people react to that. A motivated person will take the criticism, learn from it, and become better as a result. An unmotivated employee will sulk and pout about it and let it get in the way of accomplishing goals.
Do they need an incentive such as a bonus to be motivated? I've worked with people who do not lag, but do not excel either, until a bonus is offered. Once they know there is a bonus to be earned, they turn into completely different people and achieve miraculous accomplishments.
I want employees who share these characteristics. In basketball, coaches often say that great shooters keep shooting and always believe the next shot is going in, regardless of how many consecutive shots they've missed. I look for employees with enough motivation to keep trying, no matter how many prospects or sales leads have told them "no." Such employees never give up and remain optimistic that the next call is going to be the big sale.

"Just a few more minutes... 5 mere minutes until the end of the school and the beginning of summer."
About 7 months ago you recently found out that you were a nation... To put it in a simple way, you were the country of ___. This made you eligible to attend a private school known as World Academy, where all countries go to study to become an official territory. Of course, you applied for the school and you were accepted. The first few days were somewhat rough at first but you were able to find them anyways.
A little after you arrived, you started to get the hang of things after you met Antonio. He's what you say the cheerful, warm-hearted, friendly brother type. At one point, he even protected you from the harms of "Mother" Russia who wanted you to "become one with him". Ever since the time he's been by your side, you began to call him "Big Brother". He loved the way you called him that and ever since then you two have become close friends.
Now we skip time forward to the present and there you were, sitting quietly at your desk waiting for the last period to end like everyone else. Usually everyone would be working away trying to beat each other on classwork but all of you finished at the same time considering it's an Advanced Math Class.
After a few minutes you soon headed to the little park where everyone met up after school each day. Who knows what they'll be talking about this time. Most likely they'll be discussing all their summer vacation plans and what places they'd visit throughout the break.
"How are you guys going to spend the break?" Francis asked, looking around towards the others.
Silence. Was no one doing anything during the break? Not a single thing? A wish came into mind... a trip. You all could go to Disneyland together!
"I guess I can ask then."
You took a deep breath, and asked, "Since you guys don't have anything planned.... I was thinking we should all go to Disneyland."
"I'm sure all of us would love to, hermana menor." Antonio grinned as he playfully ruffled your hair.
You giggled a bit. "This'll be so much fun."
"Wait," Feliciano tilted his head to the side in total confusion, "When are we going to Disneyland?"
"We're going Friday, that's the best time plus it'll be more fun.."
The countries conversed to each other deciding whether or not the date seemed fine. They all spoke to one another for a couple of minutes then made their final decision that it was perfectly fine.
"I'm so excited. I hope I find a panda, Aru~" Yao said, a gigantic smile on his face.
You laughed at the thought of the man finding his dream panda. Let's just hope his dream panda isn't accidentally Ivan again like last time. But let's just save that story for next time.
Gilbert stepped into the middle of the circle and said proudly, "Everyone meet up at mein awesome house, we'll leave once everyone is there."
With one last round of discussion over, you left and hurried back towards your home with one thought in mind:

Picture: Daniel Radcliffe on the set of 'Kill Your Darlings' in Manhattan New York City, USA - 19.03.12
'The Women In Black' is to get a sequel following the huge success at the box office of the film adaptation of Susan Hill's novel. BBC News reports that 'The Woman In Black: Angels Of Death' will take place 40 years on from the events of the first film and will be produced by legendary studios Hammer. It will be adapted by Jon Crocker, after the 'Kick-Ass' screenwriter adapted the last one.
In a statement Hammer professed its excitement at the forthcoming project, stating "We are proud and honoured to be working with Susan again on The Woman in Black: Angels Of Death, a wonderful new tale every bit as atmospheric and terrifying as its predecessor." They've every reason to anticipate success too, following its release early February, 'The Women In Black' went on to gross more than 75 million pound worldwide, a tidy sum. More than that though, it exhibited proof that former 'Harry Potter' actor Daniel Radcliffe was far more than just a one tricky pony, the hugely marketable star receiving favourable reviews for his role as lead character Arthur Kipps.
It looks to be a busy time for Hammer, with the film company only having recently announced that they have two more films in production. 'The Quiet Ones' and 'Gaslight' will both shoot in the UK.

Why the Ontario Dental Association Supports Community Water Fluoridation
Community water fluoridation is a safe and effective means of preventing dental decay. Our position is based on the overwhelming scientific evidence available, and is driven by our dedication to the provision of exemplary oral health care to our patients and communities.
In our Special Report, Tooth Decay in Ontario's Children: An Ounce of Prevention – A Pound of Cure, the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) recognized that dental decay is the most frequent condition suffered by children other than the common cold, and is one of the leading absences from school. Children at high risk for dental carries need access to a number of different protective and preventative therapies to reduce tooth decay. The cost of adding fluoride to regional drinking water is minimal when compared to the large costs of restorative dental surgery for children living in regions without fluoridation.1
Community water fluoridation has had a great effect in caries prevention and there are additional effective approaches that should also be considered. Experts agree there is a need to strongly support the use of fluorides, particularly fluoridation of community water supplies. As this measure alone is insufficient for high risk groups, governments should also incorporate fluoride varnishes and remineralization agents into dental programs. There is a crisis in dental caries in some populations and we need to target these groups with the most appropriate interventions.
The ODA is saying to the public and the government of Ontario that it's time to stand up for community water fluoridation. It is important to your family and your community.
The History of Water Fluoridation in Canada
The connection between fluoride and dental health began to be seriously explored in the early twentieth century. In the 1930s, dental scientists documented that the occurrence and severity of tooth decay was lower among people whose water supplies contained higher levels of natural fluoride.2
By the 1950, communities across North America had begun fluoridating their water supplies. Ontario was one of the first places in the world to introduce community water fluoridation as a public health initiative to reduce tooth decay.
The first Canadian community water fluoridation trials began in Brantford, Ontario in 1945. Today, 9,229,015 people in Ontario, or 75.9 percent of the provincial population, have access to fluoridated water.3
Adding fluoride to public drinking water is still the most economical means of giving the benefits of fluoride to all members of the community. Not only do children need fluoride protection while their teeth are developing, adults need it to prevent cavities as well.
What exactly is fluoride?
Fluoride is a mineral found in rocks and soil. When water passes over rock formations, it dissolves fluoride compounds that are present, releasing fluoride ions. Therefore, amounts of fluoride are naturally present in all water sources.
How does fluoride prevent tooth decay?
Fluoride works by stopping or even reversing the tooth decay process. It keeps the enamel of the tooth strong and solid by preventing the loss of important minerals. Fluoride's main effect occurs after the tooth has erupted above the gum, when small amounts of fluoride are maintained in the mouth in saliva.
Where do I get fluoride from?
Fluoride is provided through drinking water, toothpaste, mouthwash and supplements (tablets or drops). Gels and rinses applied by your dentist may also contain fluoride.
If fluoride is available in other ways, why is it added to our drinking water?
Fluoridation of community water supplies is the best way to provide oral health protection to a large number of people at a low cost. All members of a community can have the same benefits of fluoride in their water, regardless of their ages and socioeconomic status.
Who is responsible for the fluoride levels in our drinking water?
The responsibility of fluoridation of drinking water supplies is a decision that is made by each municipality, in collaboration with the provincial/territorial government and Health Canada. Together, through the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water, both levels of government develop the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. These guidelines are reviewed and revised periodically to take into account new evidence-based scientific knowledge.
According to Health Canada, "Health Canada's Chief Dental Officer has reviewed the available science on dental effects of fluoride, and sought external expert advice from the scientific dental community. Experts provided a recommendation on the optimal level, which was accepted by Health Canada's Chief Dental Officer. As a result, the optimal concentration of fluoride in drinking water for dental health has been determined to be 0.7 mg/L for communities who wish to fluoridate. This concentration provides optimal dental health benefits and is well below the maximum acceptable concentration to protect against adverse effects [emphasis added]."
Should we stop drinking fluoridated water if we are getting it from other sources?
For most individuals, only using fluoridated toothpaste is not enough; the oral health benefits from CWF build on those from fluoride toothpaste. The fact that individuals receive fluoride from multiple sources is taken into account when recommended water fluoridation levels are determined. In 2008, a Fluoride Expert Panel recommended Health Canada "adopt a level of 0.7 mg/L as the optimal target concentration for fluoride in drinking water, which would prevent excessive intake of fluoride through multiple sources of exposure." Greater lifetime exposure to CWF has also been found to be connected to lower decay rates.
I've been hearing about health risks associated with water fluoridation. Is this true?
In 2010, after referring to over 400 published scientific studies, Health Canada released a 104 page document on "Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality- Guideline Document-Fluoride". In this report, Health Canada explains that: "The weight of evidence from all currently available studies does not support a link between exposure to fluoride in drinking water at 1.5 mg/L and any adverse health effects, including those related to cancer, immunotoxicity, reproductive/developmental toxicity, genotoxicity and/or neurotoxicity. It also does not support a link between fluoride exposure and intelligence quotient deficit, as there are significant concerns regarding the relevant studies, including quality, credibility, and methodological weaknesses."
It should be noted that Health Canada has determined that the optimal concentration of fluoride in drinking water for dental health be 0.7mg/L for communities that wish to fluoridate. Therefore, even when double this amount is used it is not linked to any adverse health effects.
What the National and International Experts Say About Water Fluoridation
The Canadian Dental Association supports the appropriate use of fluorides in dentistry as one of the most successful preventive health measures in the history of health care. Over 50 years of extensive research throughout the world has consistently demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of fluorides in the prevention of dental caries. More…
The Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry (OAPHD) supports the fluoridation of municipal drinking water. It recommends water fluoridation as a safe, effective and economical public health measure to prevent dental caries in all age groups. More...
The American Dental Association unreservedly endorses the fluoridation of community water supplies as safe, effective and necessary in preventing tooth decay. This support has been the Association's position since policy was first adopted in 1950. More…
Community water fluoridation prevents tooth decay safely and effectively. The Center for Disease Control identifies it as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. More…
…[C]ommunity water fluoridation continues to be the most cost-effective, equitable and safe means to provide protection from tooth decay in a community. Scientific studies have found that people living in communities with fluoridated water have fewer cavities than those living where the water is not fluoridated. For more than 50 years, small amounts of fluoride have been added to drinking water supplies in the United States where naturally-occurring fluoride levels are too low to protect teeth from decay. Over 8,000 communities are currently adjusting the fluoride in their community's water to a level that can protect the oral health of their citizens. More…
…[T]he experts reaffirmed the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety of the daily use of optimal fluoride. They confirmed that universal access to fluoride for dental health is a part of the basic human right to health. More…
What You Can Do to Support Water Fluoridation in Your Community
The first thing you should do is get to know the facts.
Read what respected national and international health bodies are saying about the use of fluoridated water and the underlying benefits to communities around the world.
If your community is one of the few in Ontario without water fluoridation, contact your local councilor and mayor and ask them why they haven't implemented water fluoridation in your community. In the past year, some councils in municipalities across Ontario revisited the issue of water fluoridation in their community. The ODA actively participated in these local debates, providing advice and scientific evidence on the beneficial use of fluoride.

Best Tuna Roll Transfiguration (2008)
Loft 610
Forget the rice or the ribbons of seaweed binding tight around the precious little bands of meat. Loft 610's rolls are loosely bound in long, thin ribbons of cucumber with generous strips of tuna, as dark as a blood blister, woven with slivers of carrot to slip in some sweet. Cucumber is the air conditioner of the culinary canon, thus this composition is cool, moist and revitalizing. Plus it crunches. Use them to smear the dribbles of sweet soy on the plate. Refresh with fresh ginger shavings. Repeat. Lofty.

Gabon GenealogyEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
(Add introductory text and/or an image here)
Getting started with Gabon research
The Gabonese'Republic', or Gabon is a country in west central Africa. It borders on Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo and the Gulf of Guinea. Since its independence from France on August 17, 1960, the Republic has been ruled by only two autocratic Presidents; the incumbent El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba has been in power since 1967 and is currently (2007) Africa's longest-serving head of state. Gabon introduced a multiparty system and a new democratic constitution in the early 1990s that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and for reforms of governmental institutions. A small population, abundant natural resources, and foreign private investment have helped make Gabon one of the most prosperous countries in the region. Its coat of arms shows two jungle cats, representing the country's pride in its animals. Read More...

Very close to the party beach!
Bathroom were very dirty, shower we didn't use do to being disgusting. Also every morning there were large cockroaches belly up it the bathroom!
The proximity to the pier could not be beat
The staff members were friendly, but their English was quite poor. Sometimes even having a basic conversation proved to be difficult for them.
Nice rooms, spacious, comfortable beds, staff was friendly and met us at the pier to show us the way. Liked the room for the money. Close to good food and the party area of you wish.
neighbors can be loud so bring ear plugs, wifi sucked but what are you doing on wifi?! Beach is kind of weird to get to but it's very close. No pool but again, you have the beach.
I liked the view from the pool. The rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable.
Because it's on the bay, the music from the party beach carries really well and makes it very loud at night. You would think that because it is so far away from town it would be quite but that's not the case. If you're not planning to stay up until 1am, choose a different place. Even though the PP Charlie was closer to the beach, it was actually much quieter at night. IF the price had been lower for the Cobble Beach, I would have found the walk and the noise ok.
The location of the hotel was good considering that the property is close to the market and at the same time is also little away from the crowd of the market .
The uphill walk to the rooms
Nothing - rooms in ants, service is awful, didn;t stayed there more than 1 night
Rooms in ants. here is the video:
Very much noise during the night
Everything else seemed cool.
Beds were awful! And I'm not used to good beds they were simpy bad!

But it's going to get worse. The TSA aims to have 500 "behavior detection officers" (BDOs) in airports by the end of this year. The job of the BDOs will be that of examining passengers for "body language and facial cues … for signs of bad intentions." They look for what the experts call "micro-expressions." Fear and disgust are the key ones, he said, because they're associated with deception. That would make me a prime candidate for scrutiny and possibly trouble because if I ever had to go through airport security procedures, I would have those "micro-expressions" of disgust and fear of arrest.
McClatchy Newspapers reported in an article, "New airport agents check for danger in fliers' facial expressions," (August 2007) that Jay Cohen, undersecretary of Homeland Security for Science and Technology, "wants to automate passenger screening by using videocams and computers to measure and analyze heart rate, respiration, body temperature and verbal responses as well as facial micro-expressions."
Someone who wishes to hijack or destroy a plane will spend considerable time and effort to get around the TSA's attitude-detecting policies. The bulk of the people hassled by these and other TSA procedures are law-abiding Americans who have no malicious intentions, along with a few people traveling with drugs and other contraband. The TSA routinely confiscates about 15,000 items a day from passengers, in addition to the hassle, rudeness and arrogance. With these kind of costs imposed on the traveling public, I'd like TSA to give an account of themselves, namely just how many hijackings or bombings they have prevented, along with the evidence. Americans have been far too compliant and that has given the TSA carte blanche to treat travelers any way they wish. I'm staying away. TSA has its rules and Williams has his, and one of mine is to avoid tyrants and idiots.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
"I've set myself the modest task of trying to explain the broad pattern of human history, on all the continents, for the last 13,000 years. Why did history take such different evolutionary courses for peoples of different continents? This problem has fascinated me for a long time, but it's now ripe for a new synthesis because of recent advances in many fields seemingly remote from history, including molecular biology, plant and animal genetics and biogeography, archaeology, and linguistics." Jared Diamond
Who has looked on the ancient Maya or classical Mediterranean cities and not wondered why they were abandoned? Or whether they hold a message for us? In this fascinating book, Jared Diamond seeks to understand the fates of past societies that collapsed for ecological reasons, combining the most important policy debate of our generation with the romance and mystery of lost worlds. Citizens of first world societies look around and tend not to see signs of imminent ecological collapse: the supermarkets are full of food; water gushes from our faucets; we live amidst trees and green grass. Actually, though, many past civilizations with far smaller populations and less potent destructive technologies than those of today have inadvertently committed ecological suicide: the Polynesian societies on Easter Island and other Pacific islands or the Anasazi civiliation, for example.
Ecocide asks why some societies make disastrous decisions, and how can we in the modern world learn better problem solving? Ecocide is an ecological history of human societies that considers why societies in some regions have been more vulnerable than those in other regions, and also compares the trajectories of pastcivilizations with likely trajectories of our own. Why did Greenland fail where Iceland succeeded? What links Rwanda and Australia? What can contemporary Montana learn from the ancient Mayans and modern Chinese?
--Minneapolis Star Tribune
and#8220;The World Until Yesterday [is] a fascinating and valuable look at what the rest of us have to learn from and#8211; and perhaps offer to and#8211; our more traditional kin.and#8221;
--Christian Science Monitor
and#8220;Ambitious and erudite, drawing on Diamond's seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of fields such as anthropology, sociology, linguistics, physiology, nutrition and evolutionary biology. Diamond is a Renaissance man, a serious scholar and an audacious generalist, with a gift for synthesizing data and theories.and#8221;
--The Chicago Tribune
and#8220;The World Until Yesterday is another eye-opening and completely enchanting book by one of our major intellectual forces, as a writer, a thinker, a scientist, a human being. It's a rare treasure, both as an illuminating personal memoir and an engrossing look into the heart of traditional societies and the timely lessons they can offer us. Its unique spell is irresistible.and#8221;
--Diane Ackerman, author of The Zookeeper's Wife

--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
and#160; and#8220;Diamondand#8217;s investigation of a selection of traditional societies, and within them a selection of how they contend with various issues[and#8230;]is leisurely but not complacent, informed but not claiming omniscience[and#8230;]A symphonic yet unromantic portrait of traditional societies and the often stirring lessons they offer.and#8221;--Kirkus, Starred Review
and#8220;This is the most personal of Diamond's books, a natural follow-up to his brilliant Guns, Germs, and Steel.and#160; Diamond has very extensive and long-term field experience with New Guineans, and stories of these admirable people enrich his overview of how all human beings acted until very recently.and#160; Not only are his accounts fascinating, they will ring true to all who have experience with hunter-gatherer cultures.and#160; And they carry many lessons for modern societies as well on everything from child-rearing to general health.and#160; The World Until Yesterday is a triumph.and#8221;
--Paul R. Ehrlich, author of Human Natures.
and#8220;In this fascinating book, Diamond brings fresh perspective to historic and contemporary ways of life with an eye toward those that are likely to enhance our future.and#8221;and#8212;Booklist
and#8220;Lyrical and harrowing, this survey of traditional societies reveals the surprising truth that modern life is a mere snippet in the long narrative of human endeavor[and#8230;]This book provides a lifetime of distilled experience but offers no simple lessons.and#8221;and#8212;Publishers Weekly
and#8220;Jared Diamond has done it again. Surveying a great range of anthropological literature and integrating it with vivid accounts of a lifetime of visitsand#8212;sometimes harrowing, more often exhilaratingand#8212;to highland New Guinea, he holds up a needed mirror to our culture and civilization. The reflection is not always flattering, but it is always worth looking at with an honest, intelligent eye. Diamond does that and more.and#8221;
--Melvin Konner, author of The Tangled Wing and The Evolution of Childhood
and#8220;An incredible insightful journey into the knowledge and experiences of peoples in traditional societies. Diamondand#8217;s literary adventure reflects on the problems of today in light of his exhaustive literature review and 40 plus years of living with rural New Guinean peoples.and#8221;
--Barry Hewlett, author of Intimate Fathersand#160; (with Michael Lamb)
and#8220;In the 19th century Charles Darwin's trilogyand#8212;On the Origin of Species, The Descent of Man, and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals changed forever our understanding of our nature and our history. A century from now scholars will make a similar assessment of Jared Diamond's trilogy: Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, and now The World Until Yesterday, his magnificent concluding opus on not only our nature and our history, but our destiny as a species. Jared Diamond is the Charles Darwin of our generation, and The World Until Yesterday is an epoch-changing work that offers us hope through real-life solutions to our most pressing problems.and#8221;
--Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine, monthly columnist for Scientific American, author of The Believing Brain and Why Darwin Matters
Diamonds most influential gift may be his ability to write about geopolitical and environmental systems in ways that dont just educate and provoke, but entertain. The Seattle Times
Extremely persuasive . . . replete with fascinating stories, a treasure trove of historical anecdotes [and] haunting statistics. The Boston Globe
Extraordinary in erudition and originality, compelling in [its] ability to relate the digitized pandemonium of the present to the hushed agrarian sunrises of the far past. The New York Times Book Review
The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of yearsand#151;a past that has mostly vanishedand#151;and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today.
This is Jared Diamondand#8217;s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesnand#8217;t romanticize traditional societiesand#151;after all, we are shocked by some of their practicesand#151;but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. A characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining book, The World Until Yesterday will be essential and delightful reading.

Picture: Tim Bevan The Sky Women in Film and Television awards 2011 - Press Room London, England - 02.12.11
PRIDE + PREJUDICE producer Tim Bevan feels vindicated by star Keira Knightley's Academy Award nomination, after being enraged by the British Academy Film Awards failure to acknowledge the actress last month (JAN06).
The Working Title Films co-founder was thrilled when yesterday's (31JAN06) announcement saw Knightley's role in the JANE AUSTEN-adaptation pit her against Judi Dench, Felicity Huffman, Charlize Theron and Reese Witherspoon in the Performance By An Actress In A Leading Role category.
He says, "It was a little frustrating that our own organisation (BAFTA) doesn't recognise that they've got a great young actress who's proving herself."
Bevan also worked with Knightley when she starred in Love Actually, which he also produced.
