Capitalizing On Your Elevator Pitch To Drive Referrals
Most everyone knows what an elevator speech is: it's a short, pithy, memorable description of a company's services. Lawyers have always built their reputations on their expertise, such that the creation of an elevator pitch should be one of the easiest things for an attorney to do; however, many lawyers still stumble over the basic question: "What do you do?"

Pension Returns Threatened by Low-For-Long Rates, Schembri Says
Pension funds are threatened by an extended period of low interest rates and by increases in how long retirees are living, Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Larry Schembri said.
Canada's 8,000 pension funds rely on returns from long-term investments such as bonds to generate funds needed for future payouts, Schembri said. Central banks worldwide cut policy rates to record lows through the 2008 global financial crisis, helping to suppress longer-term bond yields.
"By far the biggest challenge faced by defined-benefits pension funds since the financial crisis has been the low level of long-term interest rates," Schembri, 57, said in the text of a speech he's giving today in Quebec City, Quebec. "Interest rates are likely to remain relatively low for an extended period as the Canadian and global economies slowly recover."
Canadian policy makers have sought to create more secure pensions amid concern that household savings rates are too low and as companies turn away from defined-benefit payouts. Another risk comes from signs that a growing retiree population is living longer, Schembri said, which could boost pension obligations by as much as 7 percent.
That may lead to changes to contribution rates and benefits, the deputy governor said. Pension funds are already the second-biggest source of wealth in Canada after the country's banking system, holding C$1.2 trillion ($1.1 trillion) of assets, or 13 percent of the total, he said.
Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa proposed a plan to increase retirement income modeled on the public Canada Pension Plan that's funded in part by payroll taxes. The proposal was made on May 2, just before the Liberal government called an election for June 12.
Protect Stability
Schembri's speech didn't comment on the Ontario proposal or give a view on the next move in the central bank's policy interest rate, which has been 1 percent since September, 2010. The central bank has a responsibility to protect overall financial stability without having direct oversight of specific funds.
Proposals by the Group of 20 nations to create a safer financial system should benefit pension funds, Schembri said. Fund managers may opt to buy new "bail-in" securities that large financial institutions will create in order to fund any needed wind-up of operations, he said.
The Bank of Canada is encouraging some of the largest pension funds to join a central clearinghouse that handles trading in repos and over-the-counter securities, Schembri said. Pensions may be allowed to join the system without paying into a fund that protects investors against losses from the collapse of a trading partner, he said.
"Such participation will greatly enhance the resilience of the repo market," he said.
The long investment horizon of pension funds have often made them among the least risky participants in the financial system, Schembri said.
"They are the Warren Buffetts of the financial system. In other words, pension funds can more easily bear market and liquidity risk and earn the associated risk premiums because they can diversify these risks over time," he said.

Garry Rogers's insight:
GR: This story is about "golden rice" and other GMO crops. The GMOs contain fewer nutrients, they promote monocultures, and they promote artificial fertilizer and pesticide use. As explained in this article, GMOs cause disease and biodiversity decline. Proponents are well-funded and profit motivated. Opponents lack funding and are made to appear fanatical. What should we do? We must ban GMO crops. Please support all forms of opposition to GMOs.
We arrived off Ducie Island at dawn on October 12. The rough seas and the air above the low atoll in the Pitcairn group of the South Pacific were alive with birds.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Our leaders could promote nature preservation. Our college planning departments could recommend zoning and construction changes that would avoid so many animal deaths. Without leadership and rules, our urban population will remain unconcerned with the fate of wild animals. Perhaps a few hundred years from now people will have learned to appreciate the species that remain. For those of us afflicted with biophilia, this is a painful prospect. Would it be effective to conduct petition campaigns aimed at our planning education and government departments?
A year after a California wildfire known as the "Rim Fire" burnt through over 250,000 acres of Sierra Nevada forests, environmentalists and loggers are debating what to do with the blackened woodland it left behind. The timber industry believes that chopping … Continue reading →
Garry Rogers's insight:
Logging healthy forests destroys soil microorganisms and reduces forest diversity. Logging burned forests is even more destructive. Access roads and equipment movements promote erosion, introduce weeds, damage surviving undergrowth, and crush the new tree seedlings that would replace the original forest. Logging these fragile environments reduces watershed values and slows recovery. Only an agency such as the U. S. Forest Service that is controlled by the profit-motivated logging industry would approve logging a burned forest.
As the number of humans on Earth has nearly doubled over the past four decades, the number of bugs, slugs, worms and crustaceans has declined by 45 per cent, say researchers.
Garry Rogers's insight:
The numbers are staggering. Every new bit of research shows it's worse than I thought. Every bit of good news is so small compared to the bad. We have to stay engaged--sign the petitions, send the emails, make the calls.
Northern Canada is On Fire, And It's Making Global Warming Worse For the past few weeks, dry and warm weather have fueled large forest fires across Canada's remote Northwest Territories. The extent of those fires is well above average for the year to-date, and is in line with climate trends of more fires burning in the northern reaches of the globe.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Increasing fire occurrence means that a site is more likely to be burned a second time before the vegetation can recover. This quickly leads to a reduction in diversity and stability.
Fire-prone invasive plants introduced from Africa and Asia are reducing the intervals between fires below the colonization and recovery capability of desert vegetation.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Invasive species, like storm troopers leading the surging ruin of global warming, are demolishing Earth's ecosystems.
Anyone who reads CB.com knows that I like to inject a bit of humour into my (often gloomy) messages. Sniggering, chortling, groaning and outright guffawing are useful ways to deal with the depressing topics conservation scientists examine every day. This is why I started the 'Cartoon of the Week' series, and now I have a compendiumof quite a few biodiversity-related cartoons. Cartoons can also serve as wonderfully effective political tools if they manage to encapsulate the preposterousness of bad policies, navel-gazing politicians or Earth-buggering corporate tycoons. A good cartoon can be far more effective at transmitting a deep and complex message to a wide audience than most scientific articles.
Who are these gifted artists that bring together wit, humour and hard environmental truths into something that practically every scientist wants to include in conference presentations? I am inspired by some of these people, as I'm sure are many of you, so I decided to put together a little list of some of today's better biodiversity cartoonists.
Garry Rogers's insight:
GR: You will love these cartoons.
When the White House signed an order on pollinator health last week, it included all pollinators -- not just honeybees.
Garry Rogers's insight:
Dropping pesticides and interspersing food plants with crops will help pollinators, but there are other things to consider. Construction, farming, logging, livestock grazing, invasive species, and toxic pollutants (including greenhouse gasses) are eliminating habitat much faster than farmers are recovering it. Until humans control their population and correct the ways they use resources, pollinators and other species will continue to decline.
The Maryland Biodiversity Project: Mobilizing community to build a better picture of local biodiversity
A few years ago, photographer Bill Hubick generously donated the use of his photos in NCC publications. We recently chatted with him about a new project he is also involved with – the Maryland Biodiversity Project.
Garry Rogers's insight:
GR: This is essential work that governments and volunteers must carry out across the Earth. As Hubick says, " We live in a time of unparalleled environmental change. How do we assess impacts if we don't have baseline data? State and federal agencies work tirelessly with limited resources to monitor just our rarest species. We need to monitor changes across the board for many reasons. First, it is far cheaper to manage for a given species when it is declining slightly than to wait until it requires a captive breeding program. Ecosystems are also complex, so trying to understand issues without information about what was present in the area five, 20, or 50 years ago is often impossible."
We truly need Citizen Naturalists biodiversity survey projects in every country, state, county and city.
Our findings show that hotspots may experience an average loss of 31% of their area under analogue climate, with some hotspots more affected than others (e.g. Polynesia–Micronesia). The greatest climate change was projected in low-latitude hotspots. The hotspots were on average suitable for 17% of the considered invasive species. Hotspots that are mainly islands or groups of islands were disproportionally suitable for a high number of invasive species both currently and in the future. We also showed that hotspots will increase their area of pasture in the future. Finally, combining the three threats, we identified the Atlantic forest, Cape Floristic Region and Polynesia–Micronesia as particularly vulnerable to global changes.
Main conclusions
Given our estimates of hotspot vulnerability to changes, close monitoring is now required to evaluate the biodiversity responses to future changes and to test our projections against observations.
Garry Rogers's insight:
GR: Invasive species and climate change threaten biodiversity everywhere. Invasive plants have already overrun one of my desert research areas in the central Great Basin Desert. Invasive species are spreading in other desert areas now.

Montana's Flathead Forest is one of the most biologically diverse areas of our country, but it needs some work to become more effective for conservation.
"In the northwestern corner of Montana just next to Glacier National Park sits the 2.4 million acre Flathead National Forest. It's a part of the massive and biodiverse "Crown of the Continent" ecosystem, and is part of a broader collection of protected areas stretching all the way down to Yellowstone. It's home to more than one thousand native plant species, 70 mammals, and 260 birds. It's home to iconic American megafauna, like grizzly bears and grey wolves, along with mountain lions, wolverines, lynx, and fishers.
"Starting in the 1930s, concerned citizens and government officials have worked to protect this region, and while it remains mostly unaffected by development, it is starting to suffer the effects of climate change. As glaciers disappear from nearby Glacier National Park, the region will see warmer winters and summers, decreasing snowpack, earlier spring melts, reduced stream flows, and a longer, more severe wildfire season. The animals there will increasingly need more space to roam as their food sources and habitats change with the climate."

Reduced lunch students can cross instructional fees off their back-to-school lists.
The site-based council of Anderson County High School voted unanimously Aug. 4 to drop the $25 instructional fee for reduced lunch students.
"Long story short, we weren't right in doing that back then," principal Ronnie Fields said in Thursday afternoon's meeting.
It began with a rotor blade.
Steven McKaig, technology education instructor at Anderson County High School, said his original intent wasn't to create a memorial in his classroom.
He had been talking with student Caleb Tiedi about their mutual interest in military aircraft, and Tiedi offered to talk to his father, who possessed a decommissioned helicopter main rotor blade from a Kiowa OH56 Army utility helicopter.
Student participates in
Governor's School for the Arts.
Devan Pruitt of Anderson County High School (Musical Theatre) participated in The Kentucky Center Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) at Lexington's Transylvania University from June 19 to July 9.
During their three-week stay, 225 student artists from 49 counties were immersed in a rigorous schedule of daily seminars, master-classes, lectures, hands-on workshops and field trips to regional arts attractions.
Three Anderson County students and their Spanish teacher started summer vacation with an eight-day educational trip to Guatemala, according to a news release.
Amber Hume, Lajeana Wright and Elle Woolery, accompanied by Sylvia Hensley and her husband John, flew to Antigua, the original capitol of Mesoamerica.
In Guatemala, they toured colonial churches and cathedrals, listened to demonstrations at the Museum of Mayan Music, saw the workings of a coffee plantation and a macadamia farm, haggled for handcrafted goods, and watched Mayan weavers at work in the markets.
The FamilyFunFest will celebrate its 10th year of providing free backpacks, school supplies and back-to-school entertainment July 28 from 6-8 p.m. at the Anderson County Middle School campus.
It's first come, first served for those who want to snag one of 750 free backpacks and school supplies available at Thursday's event.
With temperatures rising, students and family members will also receive Popsicles along with their new back-to-school gear.
Jeramy Hudnall of Lawrenceburg successfully completed the General Education Development test June 23 and received a certificate of completion at the Adult Education Center at Springfield Campus, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
To pass GED tests, participants must score higher in five subjects than 60 percent of graduating high school seniors across the nation.
Successful completion of the GED is a significant accomplishment and a crucial step toward further success in post secondary education and the workplace

Change the Rules of the Game
Companies and investors need clear policies that reward sustainability performance. our capital market structures are biased towards short-term financial performance. The lack of carbon-reducing regulations in the U.S. for example has allowed companies to emit greenhouse gases at no cost, thus rewarding big emitters and penalizing more efficient businesses. Far greater sustainability gains can be achieved if smart policies are adopted that send clear market signals encouraging clean solutions with a long-term perspective.
Ceres will advocate for more sustainable policies in the U.S. and around the world as well as build investor and business support for policies and regulations that reduce sustainability risks and protect long-term interests.
How We Will Get There:
- Build business leader support for national and global climate and energy policies.
- Gain passage of a new international climate treaty, including a binding reduction target based on the latest scientific findings by the internationally-recognized IPCC.
- Eliminate tax incentives and government subsidies for fossil fuel technologies and carbon-intensive projects.
- Gain passage of energy efficiency policies to double the historic rate of efficiency improvements and national renewable policies so that at least 20 percent of the nation's electricity comes from renewable power by 2020 and 30 percent by 2030.
- Gain passage of national climate change legislation to achieve a reduction in GHG emissions of at least 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
Catalyzing a key business sector - the insurance industry - on climate change

- Nine years ago, Ceres identified the colossal insurance industry as a key target for climate action. As the only NGO engaging with the industry on climate risk, we have mobilized leading insurance companies to move more aggressively on climate change.
Power of the Proxy: Shareholder Successes on Climate, Energy & Sustainability
Aug 20, 2014

Since 2001, Ceres has worked with dozens of leading institutional investors to press companies on the risks and opportunities from climate change and broader sustainability issues.
Building a Roadmap for Corporate Sustainability
Jun 25, 2014
- Ceres has worked with companies for 25 years to improve sustainability performance and, today, more companies are taking leading roles than ever before in tackling pressing issues such as forced labor and resource scarcity. In the first two decades of this work, however, it was unclear what sustainability leadership really looked like.

Associated Press
DENVER — His face was hidden behind a gas mask, and he was costumed from head to toe in a police-style helmet, black cargo pants and black vest. He was such an improbable sight, standing at the front of a theater where a Batman movie was playing, that some in the audience thought he was part of the show.
Then he started shooting.
A year later, the pale and boyish face of James Eagan Holmes is in plain view each time he shuffles into court to face charges of planning and executing his onslaught. But whatever illness or evil might have seized the promising young neuroscientist and contorted him into a mass killer, as prosecutors allege, is still hidden — this time by a mask of a different sort.
Random and disjointed fragments of Holmes' story have emerged, but they don't add up to a coherent story line. They look more like a garbled and fleeting video, a quiet life that explodes in a choreographed nightmare of violence.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the suburban Denver theater on July 20, 2012. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and his lawyers say he carried out the shootings "in the throes of a psychotic episode." But they battle fiercely to keep the details of his mental state a secret, and they say nothing about how it might have set off the rampage.
What is known is deeply contradictory.
As a teen, Holmes was withdrawn and rarely started conversations, according to those who knew him. When he was arrested behind the Aurora theater minutes after the shootings, standing quietly with his hands resting atop his car, he was obedient and eerily limp, police said.
But during the shootings, he allegedly barked out orders and appeared to single individuals out, recalled Stephanie Davies, a witness. "He would shout, 'What are you doing? I said stand up!'" Davies said.
Applying to graduate schools, Holmes strained to leave an impression of stability and maturity. "My life could have gone in a completely different direction had I not possessed the foresight to choose the path of knowledge," he wrote in one application.
But photos exhibited in court show him preening before his smartphone camera like a self-absorbed adolescent on the night before the massacre.
In one, he wore black contact lenses and a black stocking cap, and two tufts of his dyed-orange hair curled out like delicate little horns on either side of his head. In another, he grinned at the camera, a pistol held below his face. A third showed some of his guns and gear laid out on a red sheet on his bed.
As an 18-year-old, Holmes got laughs by telling people one of his ambitions was to own a Slurpee machine.
As a 24-year-old, he went on a weapons spree, buying an assault rifle, a shotgun, two handguns, more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition, high-capacity ammunition magazines, police-style body armor and enough chemicals to rig his apartment into one massive, potentially lethal booby trap, investigators said.
Holmes built crude but complicated detonators meant to lure a neighbor or passer-by into inadvertently setting off the explosives in his apartment at about the time the theater massacre was underway, the investigators said. The idea was to divert police from the theater.
No one took the bait, although one neighbor came perilously close when she went to investigate blaring music that was part of the lure.
"It would have ignited and the whole apartment would have exploded or caught fire," FBI bomb technician Garrett Gumbinner said in January.
Holmes was a sought-after college graduate who won a federal grant for full tuition and $26,000 a year in living expenses for a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the University of Colorado, Denver. But in June of 2012, at the end of his first year, he flunked a major exam, and his professors advised him to find another career, prosecutors said.
Holmes quit the program that month.

I would like to know when the American people who suffered losses because of these crooked banks get there settlement. Seems as if gov't backed Freddie and fannie are first in line.Why is that?
Makes one not want to do business with banks? Seems like they didn't do much of a job getting tax payer dollars back?
Makes one not want to do business with crooked banks? Looks like govt entity didn't do much of a job getting taxpayer money back??
the banks are paying 7 to 14 cents on the dollar for the fraud they committed against fannie and freddie. what a joke. this only means they profited 85 cents on the dollar for such fraud. that a good return. and our govt is happy with this outcome? makes you wonder why fhfa took over fannie? to make sure they could save the banks from the suits that fannie would of tried to get full value for. and makes you wonder why the govt is raping fannie of all its money that they receive from the banks? seems our govt is more corrupt than north Korea.
still waiting for my settlement...the fleecing of America....
I am waiting for my money for this. I really could use the money.WE almost lost our house because of this crap.More then 1 bank for our mortgage. Government be fair to the little people.
What other banks are there in this deal ??????
head of fannie mae negotiating all these settlements for 14 cents on the dollar was former B of A lead atty. How long do you think he will wait before he is back in the pilfering sector ?
bailey - im not sure how you losing your house is the banks fault - please explain
I don't know about Fannie Mae but Freddie Mac are a bunch of crooked BASTARDS from the top down!!!!!!!!
Freddie mac refused to work with people on their loans then took it to auction and one of their subsidiaries bought the property. Sounds like something is rotten to me!!!!!!!!!
Freddie Mac would not negotiate with their customers, took their homes to auction and their subsidiaries bought the property. Sounds like something rotten to me.

Signing Day 2014: Cory Jones
Rankings: Two-star (5.4).
Other offers: Prior to flipping his commitment to UVa in January, Jones had committed to Toledo despite offers from Virginia, Illinois, Old Dominion, Wake Forest, and Maryland.
Though he was getting plenty of BCS interest, Jones too an official visit to Toledo in December and committed shortly thereafter. In the weeks that followed, though, he began to have some remorse. And UVa brought him in quietly for an unofficial visit. With his eyes opened by the experience, he agreed to come for an official visit on the weekend of January 24-26 and committed to the Cavaliers following that trip.
Either way, he's an excellent pickup for Virginia at a position of need. He's got a good first step off the line, good range, and a good frame to add weight. He's also versatile enough that should defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta see Jones as a possible fit at outside linebacker, he could make the transition. If there's a theme for UVa's class of 2014 it's versatility and Jones gives the Hoos a lot of that. As a pass rusher, he fits very nicely in Virginia's scheme.

FCC Chair Michael Powell: Well, I think you described it beautifully. And I'm proud to hear you say it that way.
—Your World With Neil Cavuto, 1/21/05
Passing the Buck
"It is for historians to judge how well Mr. Bush's actions have fit, or may yet fulfill, his words," wrote the New York Times' Todd Purdum (1/21/05) on the occasion of George W. Bush's second inauguration. Funny–that's what we thought journalists were for. Elsewhere in the same day's Times, reporter Alessandra Stanley wrote: "Anchors and commentators were quick to warn that the few protests that rang out during the ceremony –and a snowball that hit the vice president's car during the motorcade–should not be overemphasized. But they were slow to explain how any demonstrators–or 'bohemian-type people,' as reporter Molly Henneberg of Fox News put it–managed to get so close to the president under what the networks described as the tightest security in memory." Apparently "security" has become officially synonymous with "suppressing dissent."
Remember December?
On CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight (1/11/05), correspondent Suzanne Malveaux said that George W. Bush's first choice to head the Department of Homeland Security, former New York police chief Bernard Kerik, "withdrew his nomination after the White House vetting process raised questions." Do they really have such short memories at CNN that they can't remember that, just a few weeks earlier, Kerik was green-lighted by the White House vetting process? He withdrew his name on December 10 after he had been announced as Bush's choice, saying that he had hired a nanny who was in the country illegally, and in the following days a slew of stories appeared about Kerik's illegal gifts, abuses of power and ties to organized crime–none of which had apparently been noticed by that White House vetting process.
"Everyone Agrees"
Promising to "cut through some of the political rhetoric and look at the reality" of Bush's Social Security plan, ABC's Good Morning America (1/11/05) examined the retirement future of a married couple in their 40s with "retirement 20 years off." After noting that they each stand to receive a little more than $2,000 a month from Social Security, ABC's Claire Shipman explained that there's a "catch": "One thing everyone agrees on, the Social Security system as it exists now won't be able to afford those payments for long after the Wilsons retire." Actually, few people would agree with that: Many observers believe that Social Security is likely to be able to pay such benefits forever, and even the Social Security trustees, who use very pessimistic assumptions in their forecasts, predict that they will be able to pay full benefits until 2042, when the couple profiled on ABC are statistically likely be dead.
Man in the Right-Wing Street
A CBS Evening News report (12/9/04) featured one Tad DeHaven as a "poster child for Social Security reform": He was described by correspondent John Roberts as "28 years old, a college graduate, in the work force for six years, getting married next May, expected to retire in 2042" (which Roberts called, inaccurately, "the year Social Security goes broke"). Roberts noted that DeHaven "is fully on board the plan to establish private accounts for Social Security" and "argues doing nothing is not an option." But aside from an oncreen ID linking DeHaven to the "National Taxpayers Union," there was no clue in the piece that DeHaven was not just a regular Joe. In fact, he's a longtime conservative activist, an alum of pro-privatization groups like the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute, and the co-author of Cato's report "War Between the Generations: Federal Spending on the Elderly Set to Explode"(9/16/03). Presenting him as representative of his generation–as opposed to a representative of a right-wing, anti-Social Security advocacy group–did CBS's viewers a disservice.

According to the United Nations definitions of different groups of young people, 'adolescents' are those between 10 and 19 years old and 'youth' includes everybody between 15 and 24 years old.
More than 1.5 billion people in the world are between the ages of 10 and 25. This largest-ever generation of adolescents is approaching adulthood in a world their elders could not have imagined. Globalization, the AIDS pandemic, global warming, electronic communications and a changing climate have irrevocably altered the landscape.
UNFPA promotes and protects the rights of young people. It envisions a world in which girls and boys have optimal opportunities to develop their full potential, to freely express themselves and have their views respected, and to live free of poverty, discrimination and violence. To achieve this, UNFPA works across sectors and with many partners to:
Empower adolescents and youth with skills to achieve their dreams, think critically, and express themselves freely;
Promote health, including by giving them access to sexual and reproductive health information, education, commodities and services;
Connect young people to livelihood and employment programmes;
Uphold the rights of young people, especially girls and marginalized groups, to grow up healthy and safe to receive a fair share of social investments;
Encourage young people's leadership and participation in decisions that affect them, including the development plans of their societies.
Youth aged 10–24 make up almost one-third of Egypt's population. Enrollment in all levels of education has increased for both girls and boys in the last decade, but slightly fewer girls than boys attend school at every level. Also, regional disparities show higher school enrollment of girls in urban areas than rural areas, and in Lower Egypt than Upper Egypt. Young men make up most of the adolescent labour force, but young women have much higher rates of unemployment.
Marriage is socially important and children are of paramount importance for couples when they first marry. In 2000, young women ages 15–24 contributed nearly 800,000 births to Egypt's total fertility. The legal minimum age of marriage in Egypt has recently changed to 18 years, although the median age of marriage for women is 20.6 (DHS 2008).
Contraceptive use has risen for all married women (from 47 percent in 1992 to 60 percent in 2003) and for married youth, the DHS report indicated that less than 1 percent of childless women where using a contraceptive method at the time of the survey. Meanwhile, unmet need for family planning has declined by more than half among young women 15–24 and is currently about 12% percent (DHS 2014). The median age of mothers at first birth is 22.6 (DHS 2014).
Egypt's Situation:
Today's youth in Egypt are about 60% from the population. Egypt's overall policy environment for Reproductive Health with regard to youth and adolescents has been continuously improving, although not yet enabling enough for young people. Egypt's constitution provides for the protection of mothers, children, and youth and guarantees the right of women to medical, physical, psychological, and social healthcare.
Egypt's population policy explicitly addresses young adults only through provision for healthcare for girls prior to marriage and premarital exams and counselling. Most Reproductive Health services are only available to married females, although reproductive health services cover issues related to the whole life cycle.
Reproductive Health for youth applies to a huge variety of comprehensive services and access to information. Matters such as harmful practices, should be addressed from local institutions to government, from family and peers to schools, and from the youth to the elders. For instance, despite the legal ban on female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), it is still practiced widely; 92% percent of females in Egypt have had FGM/C (DHS 2014).
However, Reproductive and Sexual Health education is not received at schools and the only source of information for young people is usually their peers and families. The School Health Insurance System does not systematically include reproductive health care for students, and no comparable programme exists for out-of-school youth. RH services cover not only family planning or other issues related to young married couples; it also covers issues such as those related to menstruation, malnutrition and answering any questions asked by young unmarried people.
The youth programme in partnership with government and NGOS enables UNFPA to understand the context in which youth and adolescents have to grow up, in order to better advocate for youth-friendly policies.
UNFPA Egypt and its partners support young people in maintaining good Reproductive Health. Most programmes implemented take young people as a cross-cutting issue, while others target young people specifically. Some of these programmes are:
Youth-Friendly Services in different governorates, in partnership with the Egyptian Family Planning Association. Based on peer education and supported by specialized physicians clinics provide services for young people. Peer-to-peer education has proved to be a successful methodology to reach the youth, their families and to better understand their environment.
Youth-Friendly centers implemented by the General Organization of Teaching Hospitals and Institutes. The centers provide counselling, especially pre-marital counselling, to young people. It also makes referrals or provides medication where necessary.
The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood implements a comprehensive adolescents' health peer education programme in 11 governorates. The project includes an information package delivered to young people at middle school.
The Supreme Council of Universities, the National Population Council and Demographers Society is in the process of implementing an educational programme on population issues in three universities.
Y-PEER is a network of organizations working in peer education that currently involves 40 NGOs in 14 governorates. Y-PEER provides trainings in peer education, a tool kit containing more than 10 tools for peer education programmes and a networking opportunity.

As for Montell, in a meeting with the US Embassy's political officer in February 2010, she "estimated that [B'Tselem's] 9 million NIS ($2.4 million) budget is 95 percent funded from abroad, mostly from European countries."
The reality that these Wikileaks-leaked documents expose is precisely the reality which the Knesset this week launched a renewed effort to contend with by submitting three separate bills for consideration. Two of the Knesset bills address the issue of foreign funding to NGOs. One bill would limit the amount of funding Israeli political NGOs can receive from foreign governments and international organizations like the EU and the UN to NIS 20,000 per year. A competing bill would deny tax exemptions - that is, government subsidies - for such contributions and apply a 45% tax to all such foreign contributions.
While the laws would apply to all NGOs, obviously they would be particularly problematic for the NGOs run by Israeli radicals like Montell and Radovanitz that have no domestic Israeli constituency and rely on foreign governments to support their anti-Israel efforts.
THE THIRD bill addresses the main source of the political power of these foreign-funded NGOs - Israel's radicalized Supreme Court.
For the past 20 years or so, as the radical left has discredited itself as a political force in Israel, it has increasingly used the Supreme Court to achieve its aims. The Court is dominated by far leftists who legislate laws from the bench that would never pass in the Knesset.
Petitioning the Supreme Court, EU-funded groups like B'tselem, Peace Now and Adalah have been able to place court-imposed constraints on IDF operations.
They have been able to block or hamper the implementation of security measures that enjoy broad public support like the construction of the security fence.
They are able to block political leaders from devising and carrying out policies they believe serve the country's interests such as preventing illegal PLO activities in Jerusalem and building Jewish communities on Jewish- owned land in the Galilee.
The Supreme Court's radical legislative agenda is not limited to political and security issues. It has also overturned Knesset laws to liberalize the media and privatize sectors of the economy like the prison system. It has acted on the basis of constitutional claims that have little grounding in actual law, and that it applies inconsistently in accordance with its judges' ideological leanings.
The public has taken notice of the Court's increasingly undemocratic activities. According to a recent Maagar Mohot poll, the Supreme Court, once the most trusted institution in Israel, is now seen by 54% of the public as politically biased and, by a 75% to 11% margin, slanted left. Sixty-three percent of the public believes that the personal political views of the judges influence their legal decisions to some degree.
The Supreme Court's radical agenda is facilitated by Israel's undemocratic method of selecting its members.
Court members are appointed by the Judicial Appointments Committee. For all practical purposes, the committee is controlled by the Supreme Court itself and so the justices effectively select themselves. Fifty-six percent of the public wants this selection method changed.
The bill submitted by Likud MKs Yariv Levin and Zev Elkin would subject all Supreme Court nominees to public hearings conducted by the Knesset's Law, Constitution and Justice Committee. These hearings would provide legislators and the public with full disclosure on the views, activities and associations of prospective justices. Doing so would constitute a tiny step toward bringing court appointments procedures more in line with those in effect in most other western democracies.
While the bills dealing with foreign funding of NGOs and the bill concerning Supreme Court appointments are ostensibly unrelated, in fact they are directly linked.
Speaking to the media, the heads of various NGOs claim that the bills addressing their foreign funding are "unconstitutional" and therefore of little concern.
They know that they can depend on their ideological brethren in the Supreme Court to protect them from the public and its representatives in the Knesset. Just as the Court has not hesitated to block legitimate governmental policies and reforms in the past in the interest of the justices' radical ideological convictions, so the NGO representatives believe, the Court will protect them from the Knesset's actions this time around as well.
This means that the only way to protect Israeli democracy from subversive, foreign funded groups who seek to undermine the foundations of the state is to reform the Supreme Court that enables their activities.
All the bills that were submitted this week are serious attempts to tackle a serious threat to Israel democracy.
And they are not the first of their kind. Over the past several years, Israel's legislators have introduced several bills aimed at achieving the same goals. And each of these bills in turn has been attacked by the leftist Israeli media as "anti-democratic."
The media are repeating their standard practice today. Rather than foster debate about the substance of these bills and the problems they seek to address, the media are colluding with the heads of the NGOs and their foreign governmental donors to demonize the bills' sponsors and to threaten Israel with "diplomatic consequences" if the Knesset moves ahead with the initiatives.
All of this is bad enough. But what makes the situation even worse is the behavior of self-declared champions of democracy among senior Likud politicians. In the name of democracy, Ministers Bennie Begin, Michael Eitan, and Dan Meridor all oppose these measures, which are all focused on protecting and strengthening Israeli democracy.
Meridor can always be depended on to take the position of the left against his party's voters. But Begin and Eitan have distinguished themselves as independent thinkers. Eitan has taken a tough and independent line on governmental corruption. Begin has not hesitated to oppose the leftist media and bureaucracy in issues related to terrorism.
Yet here, these men habitually embrace the specious and frankly indefensible arguments of the radical left that represents no one but itself and its foreign funders.
It was the opposition of the likes of Begin, Meridor, Eitan and Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin that gave the radical left the necessary political cover to torpedo previous parliamentary initiatives to protect Israel's democratic institutions from their foreign-funded onslaughts.
And the Supreme Court's success to date in averting any serious parliamentary or governmental attempts to check its anti-democratic actions owes in large part to these Likud leaders' championship of its judicial usurpation of legislative and governmental power.
It is hard to know what is driving these men to act as they do. But it is high time that they exercise some independent judgment and rethink their support for the radical left's foreign funded, judicially enabled assault on Israeli democracy.

Article Summary
The Gyrowheel is a new spin on the old training wheels that help kids learn to ride a bike. Manufactured by Gyrobike, the Gyrowheel replaces the stock bicycle front wheel and features an internal spinning disk that helps stabilize the bike, reducing wobbles and slowing falls. While the Gyrowheel doesn't eliminate crashes and skinned knees, the company says it does reduce the amount of time needed for a new rider to gain confidence and become proficient.

PlayDevil has just published an in-depth review of the European version of the very succesfull action RPG "Demon's Souls" for PS3.
Demon's Souls could be the greatest game ever made for your PS3. Or not?
Here's more:
"Demon's Souls forces a slow methodic pace on the player. Every turn offers a chance of death. Even the smallest enemies can over power the player caught off guard and entering an area blindly will usually lead to death. The route through level is completely open, making it possible to take the wrong turn and, without knowing it, face an enemy many levels higher than it is possible to defeat." 95/100

A bigger edition of The BUILDEXPO AFRICA set for August 2015
The 19th international exhibition of building materials, construction equipment, wood machinery, and interior furnishings, The BUILDEXPO AFRICA Show is set to be the biggest and most comprehensive building and construction show yet in Tanzania, securing as much as 85% of exhibition space to date.
The BUILDEXPO AFRICA will be held from August 22 to 24, 2015 at the Mlimani International Conference Center, continuing the three-day tradition.
The BUILDEXPO AFRICA opened up avenues in the building and construction, interiors and infrastructure sectors in Tanzania when it was launched in 1996, setting the stage for other shows of a similar nature to follow suit.
With the scale of the ongoing infrastructure and industrial development, evidenced by the multi-billion projects under construction and the recent tender announcements by the government, organizer Expogroup is placed at an advantage to turn its attention to untapped segments that are vital to the sector.
To add substantial value to the established show, companies and industry people will be treated to segments such as construction machinery, ceramic and marble, water technologies, green energy, mechanical electrical and plumbing (MEP), cement, concrete and steel, pool and spa, kitchen and bathroom, interior design, wood and woodworking machinery, and doors and windows.
The BUILDEXPO AFRICA exhibition manager comments "We are stepping up efforts to bring in international companies. With serious efforts to increase the market opportunities in Tanzania, we hopefully would help widen the scope of the country's building and construction sector and put The BUILDEXPO AFRICA on the regional map."
In addition, we are featuring some international pavilions with about," he adds.
