A Shade of Green in a Sustainable New Year!Written by Alterra Hetzel
Greening a business or organization used to be something only a huge Fortune 500 company could afford or a small mom & pop shop was interested in. As environmental impact continues to grow as a priority, Strategic Sustainability Consultants (SSC) recognized the need to deliver sustainability consultation to organizations and businesses of any size, scaling options to meet the needs of smaller organizations. They call this, "Sustainability for every organization." SSC helps clients calculate their carbon footprint and discover their "current shade of green," or, if it's already a sustainable business, help communicate the lovely shade of green they've already achieved. SSC guides clients with services including green audits, sustainability reports and green communications audits. Moreover, they believe part of the consultant/client relationship is knowledge transfer, which they bring about through customized workshops, webinars, presentations, and even in-house training sessions. Strategic Sustainability Solutions makes sure to practice what they preach, boasting their own nice shade of green and living by the Carbonfund.org motto to "Reduce what you can, offset what you can't." In fact, SSC is one of Carbonfund.org's newest CarbonFree® partners, having recently offset the emissions that could not be reduced by supporting Carbonfund.org's third-party validated renewable energy projects. Additionally, SSC conducts an annual green audit on themselves and over three years of audits were able to create a 44% reduction in absolute tons of GHG emissions, a 55% reduction in carbon per man-hour, and a 70% reduction in carbon per dollar of revenue. That is something to cheer in a Sustainable New Year!

How to Take a Nap at Work
We have certain ideas of what an office go-getter looks like. Taking a nap at one's desk usually isn't part of this picture. And even if it was, modern "knowledge workers" often have trouble finding the time to write an email, let alone have a snooze.

Globally Mobile Populations: Spread of Emerging Pathogens
Yellow Fever Mosquito. Source: CDC/Gathany.
This article written by Paul M. Arguin, Nina Marano, and David O. Freedman*, appeared first in Emerging Infectious Diseases—a peer-reviewed, open access journal published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressly to promote the recognition of new and reemerging infectious diseases around the world and improve the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
The article is a verbatim version of the original and is not available for edits or additions by Encyclopedia of Earth editors or authors. Companion articles on the same topic that are editable may exist within the Encyclopedia of Earth.
Globally Mobile Populations and the
Spread of Emerging Pathogens
During the past decade, the global public health community has been challenged by the emergence and rapid worldwide spread of novel influenza strains, severe acute respiratory syndrome, chikungunya virus, drug-resistant tuberculosis, and other conditions and pathogens. Modern transportation and increased tourism, business travel, and immigration contributed to dissemination of these high-impact pathogens. The effectiveness of interventions such as airport screening, travel restrictions, and other community mitigation measures remains uncertain. However, human migration has occurred for centuries and will continue, despite the threats posed by microbes.
Medicine and public health traditionally have focused on the individual pathogens. Today, however, we should look more closely at globally mobile populations that move pathogens across international borders. In addition, we should consider what travelers' behaviors, demographics, or geographic origins tell us about the microbial hitchhikers they might bring with them.
Travel and migration medicine are unique disciplines because of their dual focus on protecting the health of the individual and protecting the community in which that individual lives, works, or travels. Articles in this issue highlight globally mobile populations and stimulate thought about a recurring theme in travel and migration medicine: better identification and definition of at-risk travelers. We need to be able to identify these populations of travelers and characterize them appropriately so we can better identify modifiable risk factors and target interventions to keep travelers safe and healthy during and after their journeys.
Globally mobile population is a fairly broad, intentionally inclusive term. The fields of travel and tropical medicine usually are associated with preparing tourists for international journeys or evaluating such travelers when they return sick. Articles in this issue demonstrate a much broader concern because of the existence of many different types of globally mobile populations. This issue features articles on some of those populations: refugees, immigrants (legal and not), long-term travelers, pregnant travelers, guest workers, soldiers, cruise ship passengers, and imported animals (1–6). These extremely different populations share a characteristic: they travel from one part of the world to another, placing themselves or others at risk for exposure to novel conditions and pathogens that can adversely affect their health.
In addition to articles about host populations are articles about populations of microbes for which epidemiologic niches have been shifted by our globally mobile populations. For example, travel and migration affect the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance, vaccine-preventable diseases, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, novel influenza viruses, and dengue virus serotypes (7–9). The risks of travel in developing countries are known; however, imported infection also can originate in wealthy countries and on luxury cruise ships (5,10). These observations, although perhaps intuitive, help establish the foundation of the evidence base for recommendations for travel and migration medicine.
Travel and migration medicine are still fairly young fields. Much of the medical literature, including the articles in this issue, still focus on defining populations and describing diseases and conditions associated with certain groups or activities. Relatively few of these articles recommend or evaluate new interventions to keep globally mobile populations safer and healthier. Investigators and public health authorities need to start making this shift towards scientific evaluation of interventions that can lead to using this evidence to begin shifting toward recommendations for efficient, cost-effective methods to prevent illness in refugees, immigrants, and travelers. At the same time, all disease- or pathogen-specific guidelines from national and supranational bodies should explicitly address globally mobile populations. Studies that measure the impact of pretravel guidance, vaccines, and prescription of prevention or self-treatment medications will then follow.
We have many lessons to learn from the increasing number of communicable diseases associated with transportation and travel. The traveling public is our teacher; let us take this opportunity to focus on the intersection between the travel and migration medicine and public health communities to improve the control and prevention of infectious diseases in globally mobile populations.

- " A good hostel, nothing wrong with the place. Well equipped kitchen for those who like to cook instead of going out everyday. Really close to convenience stores, and every other thing you might want in Tallinn. I could recommend the hostel to get some darker curtains and some lockers in the same building as the dorms were. "
- 29 Jun 2015 Aurora Norway
- " I liked there. Near the city center and in old town. Location was not a problem. Other things were also nice BUT there was one receptionist who is man. He was never smiled and cold for me. I dont like him really. But other receptionist were really friendly and very helpful. By the way, chairs were smelling bad in saloon,they need to clean. "
- 03 Jun 2015 Anonymous Turkey
- " I stayed in the other building which meant there was little atmosphere with only a few people staying there. Just a very small kitchen for us to hang out in. The bed was comfy and clean. Breakfast looked good but it was 4 euros and I figured I could buy myself a good breakfast for that much in town. There was free wifi that worked well. A good place to stay with a good location but nothing special. "

With its honest-to-goodness products, apothecary-style retail stores, and clinically clean packaging, Kiehl's has long been loved for its fuss-free approach to skincare. And that's exactly why I was surprised – and intrigued – to learn that the company will break into the beauty business in July with the release of a glossy black nail polish.
Image via beauty-zone.org
My first thought: Really? If a company like Kiehl's, which has found huge success in a singular sector, is rolling out a basic beauty product like nail polish, it must be special. Turns out, it is. Proceeds from the polish's sales will benefit AmfAR in the organization's fight against AIDS.
My second thought: But, black? Yes, and it makes sense. Legions of Kiehl's fans already know that the company's founding family members had a soft spot for motorcycles, a theme seen in its stores' décor and in LifeRide, a nine-day motorcycle ride that raises funds for amfAR. So, biker-approved black it is. The polish will begin shipping in July, just as the fourth-annual LifeRide hits the road in Seattle.

A Confederate battle flag hung inside the old North Carolina State Capitol to mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War is raising concern with civil rights leaders.
State Historic Sites Director Keith Hardison says the flag raised last week inside the House chamber is part of a historical display replicating how the antebellum building appeared in 1863. Hardison says the flag should be viewed in its historical context and shouldn't be offensive.
North Carolina NAACP president Rev. William Barber disagreed. He says that flag represents Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings.
Sessions of the General Assembly moved to a newer building 50 years ago, but the old capitol still hosts official events. Gov. Pat McCrory has an office on the first floor.

Chad Griggs hadn't lost a fight in five years when he submitted to an
arm-triangle choke from heavyweight contender Travis Browne at UFC 145.
Now trying his hand at light heavyweight, the 34-year-old Arizona native is glad to have been humbled.
"It gives you that hunger to train hard again and put on a good show," Griggs told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Griggs (11-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who went 3-0 for Strikeforce before being brought into the UFC fold, has a tall challenge ahead of him when he meets the 6-foot-6 Cyrille Diabate (18-8-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) at UFC 154, which takes place Nov. 17 at Bell Centre in Montreal. The bout serves on the FX-televised preliminary card, which follows prelims on Facebook and precedes main-card fights on pay-per-view.
Training for the gangly Frenchman, Griggs admitted it was a struggle to find training partners of equal stature at his APEX MMA and Fight Legion gyms in Tucson. Even harder was finding someone with the same credentials.
"It's definitely tough getting guys that are tall and lanky and have four world titles in standup," Griggs said. "It was a little rough."
Before he found mixed martial arts, Diabate was a kickboxer with a 32-8 record and once beat UFC middleweight contender Michael Bisping in a match.
Browne, too, held a height advantage over Griggs, who said the gameplan was the same for both fighters.
"I'm just going to have to get in there and turn it into a brawl," he said. "It's hard to throw a kick when you're backing up."
Now, it's a matter of executing that plan. Griggs said he wasn't at his best for Browne but felt the loss served a purpose in his career.
"It's not something I'm ever going to like, and it's not something I'm used to," he said. "It's been 2007 since I've had a loss. It definitely hurts your pride, but I think it's good for the soul to be brought down to earth and realize you can be beat."
Griggs has found repeated success storming opponents, logging all but one of his 11 victories inside the first round. In Strikeforce, he first won notoriety by stopping the rise of the highly hyped Bobby Lashley and Gian Villante, and pounded out Alistair Overeem's brother, Valentijn Overeem, in short order.
Diabate's UFC record is a mixed bag with wins over Luiz Cane and Steve Cantwell mixed with submission losses to Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Perosh. Those who have given him space to strike haven't fared well.
Griggs doesn't plan on being that guy, and said despite less bulk that he'll be able to muscle Diabate in the cage.
"He's going to have to weigh 206 pounds, and I don't have a doubt in my mind I'm going to be stronger than him," Griggs said of his opponent. "Someone's going to bleed."

Panamanian dry forests
Buttressed tree and dry forest, Panama. @ C. Michael Hogan
The Panamanian dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 2000 square miles of coastal and near-coastal areas on the Pacific side of Panama, around portions of the Gulf of Panama.
Four disjunctive elements of the Panamanian dry forests. Source: WWF
Originally, the Panama dry forests were distributed exclusively in the lower and premontane portions of the Pacific versant (0-800 metres in elevation), around the Gulf of Panama;. This ecoregion has a dry climate and intermediate flora diversity, which is distributed in distinct areas, such as small residual deciduous and semi-deciduous forests and gallery forests along the rivers.
Habitat destruction of this ecoregion has been extensive, with overgrazing, agricultural conversion and urbanization and resultant fragmentation, strong pressure for cattle ranching, burning, and hunting.This process of habitat destruction began in earnest with the Spanish exploration and settlement period of the mid 1800s.
This neotropic ecoregion is one of the least well conserved in the region with a scant 0.52 percent of the land area under some type of protection.
Resident species are highly adapted to living with little availability of water and high solar radiation, and they demonstrate defenses against herbivory. Plant endemism is intermediate, and vertebrate species richness is also quite high in the Panamanian dry forests.
This important ecoregion is highly threatened from its extensive ongoing exploitation. Beyond the high endemism and species richness, the ecoregion is further significant since it offers a biological corridor from the moist forests to the coastal mangroves.
Geography and climate
The entirety of this terrestrial ecoregion lies between sea level and elevation 800 meters, and encompasses a land area of approximately 5200 square kilometers. There are four disjunctive units of the Panamanian dry forests. (World Wildlife Fund). The most extensive element is along the western part of the Gulf of Panama flanking the eastern Azuero Peninsula and wrapping crescent shaped around the northwest margin of the Gulf of Panama. This unit includes the near coastal portions of Los Santos, Herrrera and Cocle Provinces, which in some reaches extends about fifty kilometers from the coast. Parts of the immediate coastline are actually designated as South American mangroves ecoregion, with the dry forests beginning one to three kilometers inland. The Herrera Province portion includes all of the area surrounding Parita Bay except for the coastal fringes that are designated as mangroves.
The next largest element of the Panamanian dry forests lies in the near coastal portion of the northern Gulf of Panama near the capital Panama City; the Parque Natural Metropolitano is an important easily accessible protected area within this element of the dry forests. A third coastal element lies disjunctively along the eastern side of the Gulf of Panama, specifically along the southern shore of the Gulf of San Miguel in the Darien Province. A small interior portion of the Panamanian dry forests lies in Chiriqui Province.
Temperatures are relatively constant throughout the year with a mean average of about 27 degrees Celsius. Rainfall is minimized by the shielding effects of the continental divide and the Azuero Peninsula highlands, both of which intercept much of the rain fronts which come from the Caribbean side of the country. Rainfall in this ecoregion is typically below 1500 millimeters per annum, which is approximately one half of the precipitation on the Caribbean side, only a modest distance away. Hurricanes are absent from this ecoregion.

Flora diversity
Plant endemism is high within the Panamanian dry forests, likely due to the (a) isolation of this ecoregion from the surrounding and intervening moist forest habitat; (b) arid conditions which likely enhanced speciation and hence species richness; and (c) absence of prehistoric glaciation, which has extinguished many species in more extreme latitudes.
Many of the plants are well adapted to herbivory defense through such morphologies as spiny exteriors and other features. Forest canopies are typically less than twenty meters, with a few of the highest species exceeding that benchmark. Caesalpinia coriaria is a dominant tree in the Azuero Peninsula portion of the dry forests, while Lozania pittieri is a dominant tree in the forests near Panama City. (Kricher) The vegetative palette is well adapted to the dry season, where water is a precious commodity.
Faunal diversity
Plantation Glass Frog. Source: Justin Touchon/EoL Faunal species richness is high in the Panamanian dry forests, as in much of Mesoamerica, with a total of 519 recorded vertebrates alone within the Panamanian dry forests. (World Wildlife Fund) Special status reptiles in the Panamanian dry forests include the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Brown Wood Turtle (Rhinoclemmys annulata), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Common Caiman (Caiman crocodilus), the Lower Risk/Near Threatened Common Slider (Trachemys scripta), and the Critically Endangered Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). There are two special status amphibian in the ecoregion: the Critically endangered plantation Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphyllum) and the Vulnerable Camron mushroom-tongued salamander (Bolitoglossa lignicolor).
Threatened mammals found in the Panamanian dry forests are the: Endangered Central American Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi), the Vulnerable Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), the Near Threatened Handley's Tailless Bat (Anoura cultrata), the Vulnerable Lemurine Night Monkey (Aotus lemurinus), the Near Threatened Margay (Leopardus wiedii), the Near Threatened Yellow Isthmus Rat (Isthmomys flavidus), the Near Threatened White-lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari), and the Near Threatened Spectral Bat (Vampyrum spectrum). There are two special status bird species occurring in the ecoregion: the Endangered Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus) and the Near Threatened Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi).
Panama urban scene, indicating a part of the extensive habitat loss. @ C. Michael Hogan This ecoregion has been highly degraded by human activity and most of the habitat has been destroyed and severely fragmented. Due to its accessible lowland and premontane elevations, even primitive humans exacted a toll on the landscape. The Spanish settlement period and twentieth century human population explosion have exacted the greatest damage due to introduction of domesticated livestock, agricultural conversion to cropland and general urbanization.
The ecological importance of the Panamanian dry forests stems from its critical location as a biological corridor for seasonal migration of species moving from the higher elevation moist forests to the coastal mangroves, or simply as a gene pool connector for species that can reside in the moist forests as well as the mangroves. In the latter case, populations of some taxa such as the Almirante Robber Frog (Craugastor talamancae) are effectively isolated by the degradation of the Panamanian dry forests. Most of the ecologically useful fraction of this corridor has been effectively severed by human activity and land cover changes exacted to accommodate the burgeoning human population; however, some bird species appear to be more tolerant of this degradation. (Lasky & Keitt) There is a pressing need to expand the protected fraction of the region above the present 0.52 percent of the ecoregion land area.
History of exploration
The early exploration of any of the ecoregions of Panama has scant recording prior to the year 1848. Coastal probing and mapping of the Caribbean shores of present day Panama occurred as early as 1501 and 1503 by Rodrigo de Bastidas and Christopher Columbus. Further recording of some basic coastal biotic conditions were made by Vasco Núñez de Balboa and Gaspar de Espinosa in the early sixteenth century, with the latter conducting interior reconnaisance through the Panamanian dry forests and into the Pacific lowland forests at least as far inland as the town of Santiago.
The earliest scientific exploration of detailed recording of Panama's ecoregions began (Seeman. 1852-1857) in 1848 with the arrival of Berthold Seeman, botanist of the HMS Herald. Seeman collected and described a vast array of Panama's trees, shrubs and herbaceous species. At that time dense forests occupied two thirds of Panama's land area. On the Pacific coast lowlands Seeman described the forests, savannas and grasslands as virtually unharmed by native agriculturalists; the human population within what is present day Panama is estimated to have been 130,000 in the year 1850.

"Some women make the mistake of buying shapewear one size smaller than their size to achieve
additional support. This is wrong. A smaller garment will not fit correctly."
•Meet Tomima
Finding Your Personal Shapewear Size
Shapewear comes in a variety of styles- from all-in-ones to tummy-controlling panties. The many options let you
decide where you want that extra support. Shapewear also comes with different control levels -- light control to
extra-firm control. These control levels let you choose how much support you want.
Shapewear Styles
This style (also called an all-in-one) gives full coverage of
the body and includes a built-in bra. For this reason, body shapewear
comes in bra sizes. If you wear a 36C bra, you would buy a 36C
body shapewear.
Shapewear that enhances your bust is known as a bust style. This shapewear style comes in bra sizes as well.
Shapewear Support
Shapewear comes in a variety of control levels- from light to very firm. These levels allow you to choose the amount of support that's right for you.
Light Control
This control is light enough to give you smoothness and shaping without binding. Control top pantyhose provide about the same support as light control shapewear.
Moderate Control
For extra smoothness, moderate control shapewear is the answer. Generally, this control will have more spandex and possibly light control panels built in. This control can be worn up to eight hours without discomfort.
Firm Control
The most popular support level, firm control can really make a difference if you have a problem area you want to minimize. Though comfortable, this level of support is difficult to wear the entire day.
Extra Firm Control
This is the highest level of support available in shapewear. At this level, you will find reinforced panels and possibly boning.
Fitting Comments
• It is important to put your shapewear on correctly. If you don't, you will have a binding uncomfortable feeling all day. Similar to pantyhose, gather up the sides so the shapewear is only an inch or two tall. Step into the legs and pull up until you reach the point where you would like the shaper to begin. Now, gradually un-gather the shapewear as you pull it up over your torso. This technique ensures your shapewear will be in the right place and seams and panels will be straight.
• Once you have your shapewear on, sit down. If you have a binding feeling around your legs or torso, you need to readjust your shaper. A proper fit means the shapewear is as comfortable sitting as standing.
• Are you a classic pear shape? Women with fuller hips and bottom should choose shapewear with side panels and extra support in the rear.
• Some women make the mistake of buying shapewear one size smaller than their size to achieve additional support. This is wrong. A smaller garment will not fit correctly. Instead, choose shapewear with a higher level of support. For example, if your shapewear is of moderate support, consider buying a garment with firm support.
• If you want to wear shapewear but tend to get hot, consider shapewear made of cotton. There are several manufacturers who make shapewear with cotton.
Perfect Fit Checklist
If your shapewear doesn't fit correctly, you could be in for a day of binding and irritating discomfort. Make sure your shapewear fits by going through this quick checklist.
Waist stays in place
Move around in your shapewear after you put it on. Sit down, bend over, raise your arms. If the waist of your shapewear does not stay in place, you need another size.
Legs are not binding
Sit down, cross your legs, and see if the edge of your shapewear binds or cuts into your leg. If so, you may want to consider a shaper with a longer leg length.
Comfortable crotch
Check and see where your crotch is positioned. If it is low, you will have problems walking. If it is too high, your shaper will feel uncomfortable all day. Adjust the sides of your shapewear until the crotch lands in the right location.
Smooth torso
There should be no bulges or wrinkles visible on your shaper. If there are, you may need a shorter length or smaller size shapewear. If the bulges are coming out over top of the shapewear, you may need a taller shapewear style.
No rolling
If the waist or legs of your shapewear are rolling, your shapewear may have broken down and needs to be replaced.
Total smoothness
If the shapewear is not laying completely smooth in any size, consider alterations.

Sparks have continued to fly over the bulk procurement system, this time between the Petroleum Importation Coordinator (PIC) and Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) over the alleged illegal importation of unleaded petrol.
In a strong reaction to a notice published by TBS, the PIC last week said the written notice by the bureau was wrong and has not followed factual specifications indicated in the original TBS standards (TZS 672:2009), which the bureau had drawn up through a committee.
PIC chairman Mansoor Shanif told this paper in a telephone interview on Saturday that state matters are not dealt with via media adverts but through writing officially to those concerned for their responses.
"TBS should have written us PIC to get our response to the issues raised. But the way I see it, is as if it was not TBS which placed the adverts," said Mansoor, who is also the Kwimba MP. He stressed that they were not wrong in importing the commodity.
"I think TBS has some problems. If they have changed the regulations, then they had better inform us to enable us make changes. We are working under procedures and we are within the law," he stressed.
TBS said in an advert published at the weekend that blending of gasoline (petrol) with ethanol or alcohol is adulteration and thus illegal.
The standards watchdog said it has noted misuse and misinterpretation of the use of organic oxygenates in the Tanzania Standard for gasoline "TZS 672:2009, unleaded petrol (gasoline) for motor vehicles-specification) under sub clause 4.6.3".
"Such misuse and misinterpretation of the national standard involves blending of gasoline with ethanol or alcohol. The practice is treated as adulteration, which is illegal and is not allowed in the country," the advert placed in the papers reads in part.
Mansour could not believe that the bureau would communicate to PIC using paper adverts.
"We are using the same regulations and standards that have been approved by the Parliament and government and we are sure these same standards are those of 2009. If there is a new standard then it is the duty of the bureau to inform us," he said, accusing some officials within the government system of trying to undermine the system.
He said it is the responsibility of PIC to import petroleum, but it is also the responsibility of TBS to ensure that the commodity meets the required standards before entering the local market.
"This is what we have always done. We import and TBS takes product samples before they tell us to allow the commodity to enter the market. They also have the duty to tell us if the product is substandard, so that our supplier can take back the defective cargo and bring in the right one," Mansoor clarified.
He said PIC has already written to TBS to state clearly in writing its own set standards and to participate directly in the carrying out of procedures and contracts.
Mansour said PIC has the mandate to file a case against TBS in court, but it is waiting for the response from the former.
"We don't want to tarnish the PIC image. Let them know, we are the only company importing petroleum in the country. Why should the bureau talk of oil importers?" he queried.
When called for comment, Energy and Minerals Parliamentary Committee chairman January Makamba admitted that there were serious misunderstandings between the oil dealers that are threatening the whole business.
"For this system to function properly, the dealers need to be in good terms. But the way it looks, there is an unending friction which is not healthy for the system," Makamba, who is also the Bumbuli MP said. "Our major concern is that the imported fuel should meet the required standards," he said.
But the committee chairman pointed out that there is need to amend the regulations guiding bulk oil procurement which shelter the regulators, some of whom are board members and have the mandate to decide on all matters including tenders.
For his part, Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) Director General Haruna Masebu, told The Guardian on the phone that they are working on the conflict, stressing that only the sample results from the government chemist will tell who is right.
"I was upcountry, I don't know the development of the matter whether the samples have been released or not. I will work on it tomorrow," he said.
According to him, the samples have been taken from wholesalers and retailers, buyers (PIC), suppliers and others from the Tipper godowns.
"We need to reach an unambiguous conclusion. Remember this issue is fragile," said Masebu.
TBS Director General Charles Ekelege couldn't respond to phone calls from Saturday evening to yesterday.
He only responded later in a text message instructing this reporter to meet him in his office on today.

This past October, for the first time in far too long, TLC was not synonymous with toddlers, tiaras, extreme cougar wives, or anything called Say Yes to the Dress. TLC, the four-time Grammy-winning, 65-million-albums-selling R&B girl supergroup named for members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, reclaimed the initials with the premiere of the VH1 original movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story and an accompanying greatest hits collection, 20, which delivered a new single, "Meant To Be." Written by Ne-Yo, the song, according to Thomas, "sums up the whole 20 years of the relationship between the three of us and the ongoing relationship between T-Boz and myself." As any true pop-culture enthusiast knows, this is no small feat.
TLC's story is no less breathtaking than the scope of their influence. From humble Atlanta beginnings to global superstardom, the band has lived a triumphant, outrageous, often tragic tale perfectly suited to a "Behind the Music" segment. Watkins would struggle with chronic sickle cell anemia (and later be sidelined by a brain tumor). Thomas publicly endured the throes of a relationship with Usher. The group suffered an astounding bankruptcy. And then Lopes, after infamously burning down the house of her boyfriend, Atlanta Falcons football player Andre Rison, and acrimoniously challenging her bandmates to a solo album showdown, suddenly passed away, in a 2002 auto accident while on a spiritual retreat in Honduras. (Her final moments are recorded in the 2007 documentary The Last Days of Left Eye.) "In our hearts and within our music, she'll always live," Watkins says. At the V photo shoot, which their publicist cites as their first since Lopes's death, the duo became emotional when their 1995 slow jam "Red Light Special" began playing, and requested it be replaced with the Notorious B.I.G.
While there has been but a flurry of TLC-related happenings in recent years—including unrealized solo projects, a run of reality-show programming, and a 2011 performance on American Idol—appreciation for their talents has only grown. Stylistically they are a crucial touchstone for the lighter side of '90s revivalism: consider sporty elastic attire, Cross Colours brights, sharp video-game-fighter bangs, and Olympic midriffs. ("I'm going to be 85 years old, still with a six pack. I'm not playing," says Thomas with a laugh. "I'm going to have these abs until I go home to Jesus.")
CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story is an appropriately extravagant biopic, executive produced by Watkins and Thomas, written by Kate Lanier (What's Love Got to Do With It, Set it Off, Glitter), and starring Keke Palmer as Chilli, Drew Sidora as T-Boz, and Lil Mama (who filled in for Lopes at the group's July 2013 performance at the Mixtape Festival, in Hershey, Pennsylvania) as Left Eye. It details their saga and features exactingly reenacted music videos from "What About Your Friends" to "No Scrubs," with choreography coached by Watkins and Thomas and even costumes pulled from the TLC archives. "Lil Mama wore Lisa's, because she was that size, but the other two girls are more top heavy, because, you know, we're the tittiless crew, T-L-C, Titty-Less Crew, so those outfits had to be re-created," explains Watkins, who admits to being shaken up while watching her life played out on set. "It was really, really weird. Especially with Lil Mama, because her real eyes are hazel and so they put these big, round black contacts in, like Lisa's eyes. She looked up at me one time and I was like, 'This is weird.'"
Fortunately the TLC renaissance is in its early stages. An as-yet-untitled full-length album, their first since 2003's 3D, is currently in the works. "Im telling you, it's a blessing even being in the studio recording. I can't wait till you hear some of these songs! It's TLC 2015! It's TLC today and tomorrow!" says Thomas, who promises more futurism, signature dance moves, and a familiar sound that continues what began with Left Eye. "It's definitely just a different period, because she's not here physically. But even when she was alive we had a lot of songs that did not have her on there. So with Tionne's voice and my voice it still sounds like our stuff. But we'll have a few features, because we've never had features before," she says, mentioning likely but unconfirmed contributions from Drake, T.I., 2 Chainz, and Lady Gaga.
"I don't think you can ever have enough records about self-esteem and loving yourself and not taking no crap, especially females," says Thomas. "That girl-power thing is just missing right now. And it's not like we're in the studio trying to make songs like this—we're naturally like that, so it naturally comes. We're still being who we are. And by saying that, it's going to help a lot of people. And that's all we care about. We want jams to make you jam but at the same time make you think."

Joomla Version Icons
To indicate availability of a class, method or some piece of functionality in or from a particular version of Joomla, you can use the {{JVer}} template. Only certain specific version numbers are supported:
By default the alt tag generated will be the same as the version number, prefixed with the word "Joomla". You can override this default by adding a second parameter. For example, to get an alt tag of "Only available in Joomla 1.5" you should use {{JVer|1.5|Only available in Joomla 1.5}} which produces this:
Full documentation on the JVer template can be found here.
You can also use the {{JVer/multi}} Template to place multiple version icons.
|Short icon
|Long icon
|CMS Versions
|{{JVer/multi|1.6,1.7,2.5|Joomla Version|long}}:
|Not Available
|Mix CMS/Platform
|Not Available
For more information on use, specifically the long version icon use, please see, {{JVer/multi}}
Table of Contents
You will get a table of contents box on each page by default as soon as you start making use of headings and subheadings on the page. The default table of contents box is located on the left and text does not flow around it. You can make the table of contents box float right by inserting {{RightTOC}} at the appropriate place in your page. You can also suppress the table of contents box altogether by inserting __NOTOC__ at the top of the page.
Version Notice
If an article is written for a specific Joomla! Version, please use the {{version}} template. It should be placed at the very top(first of all wiki markup) of an article so a person will see what version the page is relevant to. For example: {{version|1.6,1.7,2.5}} will place this:
If the article is a tutorial or part of a Tutorial Series, please use the {{version/tutor|1.5}} template, which will show this:
This helps readers know what version the information references and aids in version icon(s) inclusion in lists of articles and tutorials. For more information and how to use extended features of this template, please see {{version}} template documentation.
Some URLs can become utterly long, some are ugly, and some are just tedious to type over and over again. Adding categories to a page can become equally annoying.
To simplify your job try some of the following templates. Similar to the interwikis, they're true keystroke-savers:
- {{jsite|keyword}}, for example:
- {{jsite}} = www.joomla.org
- {{jsite|forum}} = forum.joomla.org
- {{jsite|ext}} = extensions.joomla.org. For more see {{jsite}}.
- {{jforum|keyword}}, shortcuts for the many Working Group fora, i.e.
- {{jforum}} = forum.joomla.org
- {{jforum|doc}} = Documentation forum
- {{jforum|devdoc}} = Developer Documentation forum. For more see {{jforum}}.

In Our Own Voice is a program focused on spreading the message of recovery by living examples. It provides hope and opportunity to both the audience and the presenters. The following testimonials are examples of the impact this program has had in helping to foster a more positive attitude towards mental illnesses.
From consumers….
"When I signed up to attend the In Our Own Voice (IOOV) training to become a presenter, I was very fearful. During the training weekend, I felt very inadequate and self-conscious. The idea of standing up in front of people was terrifying. I thought there was no way I could ever do these presentations. Well, guess what? I am doing presentations in a lot of places, and I get so much out of it. Beforehand, I am very tense and stressed, but how I feel afterwards is incredible. At the training, I felt real lonely, but getting out of myself and trying to give to others has changed my life. The most important thing is that maybe I can at least give one person in the group a little hope. IOOV has helped my recovery in huge ways. I have even received kind cards and letters from the audience. I now have more security in my recovering life with my mental illness, my sobriety, and my eating disorder. People have really stuck with me. I am oh, so grateful, and I hope I can give a little back to all the special people who have helped me. It sure is scary getting up in front of others, but the feeling of gratitude I feel afterwards is so worth it. Thanks to my family, my doctors and counselors, and most of all to God for bringing NAMI into my path. For the first time in my life, I have a dream. I want to work with people who have a mental illness. I even have some hope. Thanks to you all!" - Kamala Castle, consumer
"The IOOV outreach program has done far more for Robert Qualls and I than we ever anticipated. Robert and I go into a place with the idea that we are going to spend up to one hour sharing our stories about recovery. We thing we are going to go and impact someone's life. We think we are going to make a difference. Don't misunderstand me, we have done all those things and more. Robert and I have found that each time we walk away from a presentation, someone in the audience has impacted our lives as well. Someone who had listened to us turned around and put into our lives. They did this with a handshake, a word of encouragement, or a smile. Our stories have come close to home for several people. They could relate with Robert and I because they are going through where we have already been. Most of all we realized that there is something deeper happening. There is something more happening than what we share. There is a stirring of the heart. There is an impact going on between that person's soul, heart, and mind. It is a look on their faces that tells us of this impact. It is not that look that a person gets when a light bulb goes on. It is a look that says, 'Wow I didn't know that there was hope, wow I didn't know I could be successful, wow I don't have to live like this anymore!' It has been an awesome privilege for both of us serving and educating the community on recovery and mental illness. Thank you to all those places we have visited. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you. Thank you for impacting our lives." - Laurie Collins, Program Coordinator
"[This] program shows the hope in recovery if we use all the tools available today and work toward that goal." - Consumer in CA
"I have been through the dark times. I am glad that I belong to a behavioral health center to help me cope, and even though I just volunteer some and do activities I feel like I have success." - Consumer, Springfield, MO
"The advice I learned about how to structure my day and having a positive attitude helps me realize what I can become. I hope this program reaches each and every consumer." - VA audience member
From family…
"As the parents of a young woman who has struggled with mental illness and the myriad challenges that come with brain disorders, we would like to applaud NAMI for In Our Own Voice: Living with Mental Illness. Our daughter's involvement in this program has provided her with an internal sense of pride she's never before experienced. Last February, Kamala was invited to a weekend training to learn about this program. Think of it – to commit to a whole weekend. And she showed up. And she stayed! We were proud of her just for that. That was only the beginning. Kamala was then asked to speak to consumers and professional staff members of hospital programs, family members, and even to go to Sacramento to meet with our political representatives. She not only showed up again for everything, but came away from these experiences feeling that she could touch people's lives in a positive way. She found that ten staff members asked her for advice. Imagine, educated professionals asking a consumer – who had been through years of institutionalization and two terms of conservatorship in a locked facility – what she thought. What an empowering experience! And empowerment is a feeling not often felt by many of our loved ones. The highlight for us as parents was sitting in the front row at the NAMI convention in San Diego while Kamala shared her experience with this special program. The pride in our eyes was blurred by our tears of joy as we listened to her so openly and honestly share from her heart. Her message is clear: Don't ever give up! Our message as parents is just as clear: Don't ever give up!!" - the loving parents of Kamala Castle, Bob and Barbara Castle
"I didn't believe my son could have any quality of life." - Parent in MO
From professionals…
"It helped me think about what consumers on my caseload may be going through."
"This was a very enlightening session for me. It makes me more sensitive to individuals with mental illnesses." - D.J.J. worker, Baltimore, MD
"This program provided me with additional tools for my clients." - Social Worker
From others….
"It is great when a person can get help to overcome something that the general public does not or cannot see." - Anonymous, SD
"I did not know people could be so severely 'disturbed' and still recover before I heard this presentation." - Student, Springfield, MO
"Breaks the stereotype that clients with mental illnesses are 'goalless' or 'not motivated'." - Nursing student, AZ
"I have a friend diagnosed with depression – this helps me understand what she is going through." - High school student, MO
A final note…
"Presenting Living with, as we have nicknamed the program, has been therapeutic for me. The presentation reminds me of where I was, how far I've come, and that I am still living with mental illnesses. I guess the best way to describe what working again, after initially feeling trapped, really means to me is a story I stumbled upon:
'Two men were fishing in a creek. One man noticed that every time the other guy caught a fish, he would measure it with a small stick he had in his pocket. This confused the first fisherman, so he asked the purpose of the stick. The second fisherman said the stick was the size of his frying pan, and any fish that was larger he threw back because he knew it wouldn't fit.'
The fish, for me, represent opportunities for growth. The frying pan represents self-imposed limitations. Working again has meant learning to get larger frying pans, and since I've been working for NAMI and the IOOV program, my frying pans just keep getting bigger and bigger." - Royal Riddick, Program Coordinator, Baltimore, MD

Nesquik chocolate powders sold in the United States are being recalled due to possible presence of salmonella, Nestle USA announced Thursday.
The company's voluntary recall is limited to only to 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7-ounce containers of Nesquik Chocolate Powder, and no other varieties or sizes are affected.
The company pulled the products after a supplier for the Nesquick ingredient calcium carbonate, Omya Inc., notified Nestle of potential salmonella contamination. No illnesses have been reported.
The affected powders were produced during Oct. 2012, the company said. Consumers should look for the production code on the bottom of the canister by the expiration date to see if the product is part of the recall.
For 40.7 ounce chocolate powder (72 servings), the affected production codes are: 2282574810 and 2282574820.
For 21.8 ounce chocolate powder (38) servings, affected codes are: 2278574810, 2278574820, 2279574810, 2279574820, 2284574820, 2284574830, 2285574810, 2285574820, 2287574820, 2289574810 and 2289574820.
For 10.9 ounce chocolate powder (19 servings), the affected production code is 2278574810.
All affected products have an expiration date of Oct. 2014.
Salmonella is a bacteria that causes the illness, salmonellosis, which can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. Illness typically lasts four to seven days and most people will recover without treatment, however some may need to be hospitalized for severe diarrhea. The elderly, infants, and those with weakened immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Consumers who may have purchased the recalled products should not drink it and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Customers can also call Nestle Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679.

There's a place for you at the round table, but you wouldn't look right there without an outfit like our Men's Valiant Knight Medieval Costume on. This product consists of the hooded tunic, the gauntlets, belt, and boot covers. The dark gray tunic resembles a knight's armor and displays a dragon coat of arms in the center of the chest. The hood and long sleeves of this outfit have been screen printed to resemble chainmail. We carry this product in a men's size medium, large, and extra large. Wear black or gray pants with it to finish out the look. During the Medieval times, knights would go to the local blacksmith to get their swords, shields, and chainmail armor made. You don't have to go through all of that work to resemble their look on Halloween night. Simply order our adult Medieval knight costume and pick up one of our separately sold sword and shield replicas to look the part.

Nice stuff Viking, looking forward to seeing it progress
Hi everyone,
so I started my next map. It is the island of Arinthia from this map which this earlier map also is in.
I started off by blowing up a cropping of my world map and shrunk down the second map to fit into it and I am proceeding to fill out the details. I am reusing elements from my world of Skenth map for visual continuity between the maps and because it saves time to do so.The compass is a reworked version of the world map's compass but simplified in the centre.
At this point all the political information is still getting shifted around as I work on the geography. This map will be a more manageable 14 by 8.5 inches though I may be tempted to up it to 11x17.... a decision I should decide sooner than later.
Initial composition with the border and compass put in.
Current progress.
Nice stuff Viking, looking forward to seeing it progress
Thanks Max!
Yep, more awesomeness in the making!
Are you going to paint the rest of the terrain so the detail level matches the bit from the other map?
Thanks Diamond! I will try to make it shine though it will be less involved overall than the world map lol
Hey Chashio I will try to do so yes! If it doesn't work I'll just repaint parts of that small postage stamp to make it even lol
Great map and nice avatar Viking
Thank you Azelor on both counts
Here is a ~messy~ in progress shot of how this is coming. I've been moving stuff so the floating text is way off where it should be. I essentially upped the image size from 8.5 x 14 to 11 x 17 inches. I then went through the effort of again reconstructing the border to the new size. Since I don't want to just transform it to be larger and let the computer redraw the lines I had to cut it up and copy paste a lot as I wanted to preserve pixel fidelity. It means the map will take longer but I can still print it much more cheaply than the 18 x 24 image I had going previously.
My biggest decision right now is if I want to up the size of the Island I am focusing on or include more of the coastal regions just to the west. It has its pros and cons. If I just upsize the landmass from the initial set up I get more detail to play with for the current region. Having those western coasts gives me a few possibilities and I get to paint some more diverse landscapes. I can also use those areas in campaigns more easily. One day I may create a map of the lands to the west anyways so I may need to repaint them.
I think I may go with the legend in the top right again.
I've decided to just do the west coast. The detail in the ocean and on the land in the south west may look like a step backwards but it's progress I swear

Looks promising!
Do you paint this map on the same degree of detail as your first map which is included or did you reduce the pixels?

Tyler Perry was in the news a few days ago for a new partnership with Oprah Winfrey and now he's back there for a good deed.
After Perry heard a news report about a local disabled Georgia woman having her customized Chrysler minivan stolen from her house, the star decided to jump in and help.
Alicia Day is 24-years-old and suffers from Cerebral Palsy. She uses a wheelchair and her van is crucial for transportation.
Perry contacted Day and told her he would replace her van.
The van cost almost $60,000 dollars, Day and her family chose a 2011 Volkswagen Amerivan.
