The Indonesia government has trained paddy farmers in Morogoro Region and Zanzibar in a move to increase production of the crop in Tanzania.
Indonesian ambassador to Tanzania Yudhistiranto Sungadi, said recently that his government has brought two agricultural experts to help train farmers in the respective areas.
While at Mkindo village in Morogoro Region and Mwera, Koani and Cheju villages in Zanzibar, the experts have been training the farmers on new techniques on agricultural production including how to plant paddy, make better harvests and how to plant vegetables and other crops.
The experts' focus, he said is to help the farmers share experience of their Indonesian counterparts and help them move from small scale to large scale farming.
He said "I believe that through their support, the farmers will obtain skills suitable for paddy farming and through those initiatives production will rise more effectively."
According to Sungadi, the experts worked in Morogoro Region for two months and in Zanzibar for 10 days where they assisted in arming the farmers with farming methodologies from Indonesia.
He said, his country can also assist in training people in other countries in the areas of modern fishing upon getting application from countries that require the technique.
Highlighting on the support to Zanzibar, he said the Indonesia government will bring more agricultural experts to the Isles Zanzibar to introduce a new technique besides offering more scholarship to pursue studies in the Far East Asian country.
He said Indonesia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has improved the wellbeing of its people.
He added that the country now has a five-year development plan aimed at transforming the country from an agricultural dependant to an industrial one.
"Our focus is largely to create employment, secure food security as well as contribute to the national economy," he said.
He said that agriculture in Indonesia contributes 15 percent to the GDP although many people are engaged in the sector.

Viewpoint DataLabs International, Inc.
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Viewpoint DataLabs International, Inc., also referred to as Viewpoint Data Labs, was a Los Angeles based digital effects company, founded in 1988, that has provided the Star Trek franchise with CGI services during the 1990s.
The company specialized in creating a library of 3D digital content to publishing ends. The 3D models in the library could be purchased by interested parties for their own purposes. Viewpoint's clientèle ranged from advertisement firms to the motion picture industry, and its library ranged from kitchen utensils to airplanes, consisting of 20,000 3D models at one point. [1] To this end, Viewpoint employed a scanning and digitizing department, in order to build upon the library. Customers could buy the models at four detail levels, the highest level being complete, full textured of-the-shelf models, instantly ready for use, whereas the lowest level consisted of basic wire-frame models, enabling customers to customize the models for their specific needs.
Viewpoint has never been directly contracted by the Star Trek franchise (and has therefore never received an official credit). However, on two occasions the company was sub-contracted by regular CGI vendor to the franchise, Santa Barbara Studios (SBS). In 1994, SBS, contracted Viewpoint to construct a level two CGI model (CGI model with non-descript skin) of the USS Voyager, the company was tasked to build as a back-up of Amblin Imaging's model for the new series Star Trek: Voyager. The Orem, Utah, facility of Viewpoint was sent the physical studio model of the Voyager for scanning and digitizing. Their basic model was sent back to SBS for finetuning and final detailing. Unfortunately for SBS, their model was never called upon to perform in the series. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 27, No. 4/5, pp. 72-75, 79-81)
Four years later, in 1998, SBS was awarded the commission for a large part of the CGI effects for Star Trek: Insurrection, which included digitizing the studio model of the USS Enterprise-E. As a time saving measure, SBS again subcontracted Viewpoint to repeat the procedure they had performed four years earlier. (Cinefex, issue 77, pp. 71-72) This time around, the model was featured prominently in the movie.
Later that year in October, Viewpoint ended its independent existence, when it was acquired by software giant Computer Associates. [2] Having branches at the time in Orem, Utah, San Fransisco, New York City and the United Kingdom, Viewpoint was gradually whittled down and relegated to a brand name only, currently merely marketing software packages.

Reverso, a legend in movement, watchmaking masterpieces at the peak of refinement
The last Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie saw the unveiling of an ulltra thin version of that cult object of timeless luxury, the legendary Reverso. The Reverso is the ultimate expression of Jaeger-LeCoultre's exceptional watch-making know-how. This know-how, whether technical or aesthetic, is resolutely forward-looking, ever ready to write new chapters in the Reverso legend. Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 faithfully reproduces the appearance of the legendary 1931 model in a more generous and ultra-thin case version. In homage to the original, the dial bears only the inscription "Reverso", while the name Jaeger-LeCoultre is discreetly engraved on the back of the horn. In a limited edition of 500 watches in pink gold with a white dial, the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931 also comes in a steel version with a black dial. The famous railroad minute band runs round the dial, imbuing this model with unparalleled Art Deco purity. Grande Reverso Ultra Thin The innovative Grande Reverso Ultra Thin plays the card of extreme simplicity with an exceptionally fine case, evocative of to the perfect watchmaking classicism of the original model. The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin focuses on purity of form, fine execution, discreet elegance of lines, and the perfect proportions which are at the very heart of the legend. Its remarkably thin case – with a thickness of only 7.20 mm, compared to the 9.40 mm of the classique Grande Taille model – is what endows it with particularly refined harmony. The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin watch runs on a hand-wound mechanical movement, the Jaeger-LeCoultre 822 Calibre. Assembled and decorated completely by hand, this movement joins the collection of fifty mechanical movements created for the Reverso to date. Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin Specially and exclusively for women: the Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin watch sports softer lines for greater femininity. The case has been finely sculpted, with a slight arch to ensure a closer fit to the female wrist. The Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin watch comes in different versions, with steel cases with or without stones, in pink gold set with two rows of round diamonds, with a leather strap or metal bracelet, or even one in pink gold. The steel and gold bracelets have been entirely redesigned. Structured but at the same time pliant, they give this new Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin a dynamic look, full of zest and youth. The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Lady model houses a Jaeger-LeCoultre 846 Calibre hand-wound mechanical movement, made, assembled and decorated by hand. It also comes in a Quartz version without stones. Jaeger-LeCoultre has made a website dedicated to Reverso for you to discover and become part of the legend! Also in the Reverso site, trace the Reverso story from its origins in the exotic British Raj, where polo-loving officers complained to a visiting Swiss businessman about the fragility of their watch crystal, to the Vallée de Joux, where time seems to stand still...

A knee injury had sidelined the two-time world champion (and double junior world champ) for most of the 2010 season. After months of rehab, Hill returned to the World Cup circuit just one race before the worlds, but finished out of contention in thirteenth spot. In his absence, Gee Atherton and Greg Minnaar had wrestled for control of the World Cup, finishing in the top three in every race that season. They were the unanimous favorites headed into the World Championships at Mont-Sainte-Anne.
There, on one of the world's most demanding and revered courses, Sam Hill shocked everybody by winning his third world title. Even Ned Overend, who won the 1990 World Championship XC race, was impressed. "It was pretty amazing how Sam Hill pulled out the win after being injured for most the season. I hiked the entire course as the guys were doing their final run. Just being up in the woods and seeing those guys fly through the rock gardens is awesome. It was such a clutch performance the way he salvaged his whole season with one run."

Thermal pollution
Lake Trawsfyndd, Wales, recipient of power plant thermal discharge.
Thermal pollution is the act of altering the temperature of a natural water body, which may be a river, lake or ocean environment. This condition chiefly arises from the waste heat generated by an industrial process such as certain power generation plants. The concept is most frequently discussed in the context of elevating natural water temperature, but may also be caused by the release of cooler water from the base of reservoirs into warmer rivers. Elevated river temperatures can also arise from deforestation or urbanization that can reduce stream shading. Thermal pollution is one parameter of the broader subject of water pollution.There can be significant environmental consequences of thermal pollution with respect to surface receiving waters such as rivers and lakes; in particular, decrease in biodiversity and creation of an environment hospitable to alien aquatic species may occur. Regulation of thermal pollution has been more elusive than for other forms of water pollution, although straightforward mitigation measures are available, especially in the case of elevated temperature discharges.
Theory of thermal release
Early work on mathematical modeling of thermal pollution took place in the 1960s with works by Edinger, Geyer and Tichenor; the first hydrological treatments addressed the equilibrium geometry of a thermal plume, or iso-contour of elevated temperature within the receiving waters.[1] These models considered the mixing of a stream of admixed differing temperature water into a natural water body. Slightly later more advanced models arose which allowed the analysis of thermal plumes across an extensive data base of historical meteorological statistics, so that the full impacts of thermal pollution could be considered in relation to diurnal, seasonal and climate change fluctuations.[2] In any case the technology exists to forecast thermal contours in receiving waters for a proposed or hypothetical thermal source.
Extent of thermal pollution
Given the demand for cooling in power generation and other industrial processes, the extent of thermal pollution worldwide is considerable, particularly in the industrialized countries of Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. For example in the United Kingdom, it is estimated that one half of all river flow is used for cooling purposes and hence leads to some elevated discharge of higher temperature water.[3] As early as the 1980s in the USA thermal discharges amounted to one sixth of the total national river flow. In Australia, there are many instances of warm water discharge subsequent to cooling uses; however, cold water release downstream of reservoirs is at least as great a problem; for example, in New South Wales it is thought that up to 3000 river kilometres may be adversely affected by such coldwater releases.[4]
The adverse affects of thermal pollution are often comjoined with other forms of water pollution such as chemical contamination or biological contamination,[5] such that the combined effects of two or more pollution types can create severe stresses on aquatic ecosystems.
Ecological impacts
Waste heat discharged to natural waters typically depresses the dissolved oxygen content, affecting aquatic species such as fish. amphibians and copepods.[6] The resulting higher water temperature typically raises the metabolic rate of aquatic organisms; for example, increasing enzyme activity occurs, that causes plants and animals to take in greater quantities of nutrients and either carbon dioxide or oxygen. These metabolic changes can alter the balance of species composition,[7] and may also lead to faunal migration, as species attempt to adapt to changed thermal conditions. As a result, original species may migrate away, and alien species may enter a local aquatic system. In some cases significant loss of biodiversity can arise, and in some instances total bio-productivity can increase at the expense of species declines. The most readily observable phenomenon is that of mass fish kills in a surface water body; in this case, there are often large numbers of dead fish seen floating in the water or washed up on the water banks. Juveniles or fish fry are particularly vulnerable to small changes in water temperature.
Many aquatic organisms are very sensitive to small temperature changes of as little as one degree Celsius; not only can the temperature change alter metabolic rates, but adverse changes in other cellular biological may arise, including reduction of cell wall permeability, harming osmotic processes; in addition, alteration of enzyme metabolism can be effected as well as coagulation of cell proteins. In many cases these cellular level impacts can affect reproductive success and even impact organism mortality. A large increase in temperature can lead to the denaturing of life-supporting enzymes by breaking down hydrogen and disulphide bonds within the quaternary structure of the enzymes. Decreased enzyme activity in aquatic organisms can cause problems such as the inability to break down lipids, which leads to malnutrition.
Primary producers are affected by thermal pollution since elevated water temperature increases aquatic plant growth rates, potentially resulting in a shorter lifespan and species overpopulation. This can cause an algae bloom which reduces the water's oxygen content in the water. The higher aquatic vegetative density leads to an increased plant respiration rate and also to a reduced underwater light intensity. The outcome is similar to the eutrophication that occurs when watercourses are polluted with leached agricultural inorganic fertilizers.
In the case of injection of cooler water from a reservoir into a warmer stream or river below, there can also be significant impacts upon fish, especially in the egg and larval stage; upon macroinvertebrates and upon total aquatic productivity in the receiving river.[8] These cold water forms of thermal pollution can also create a modified aquatic environment such that certain alien species may have a competitive advantage over native species.
There are several means of reducing impacts of warm water termal discharges, including use of cooling ponds, cooling towers and also productive use of the heated water for a secondary industrial process or space heating.[9] In the case of cold water discharge from reservoir bottoms, the mitigation is not as straightforward, and can often be very expensive. Since there are seasonal variations in the degree of vertical thermal stratification, the timing of water releases can sometimes be conducted to minimize cold water differents in the discharge, provided these releases are consistent with needs for flood control or power generation. In the summer, for example, there may be extremes in formation of cold water layers at the reservoir bottom; such times would be adverse for cold water release impacts downstream.
Some countries and even individual states and provinces require limits on discharges that lead to thermal pollution of receiving waters. although this aspect of water pollution has proven to be more elusive than conventional chemical discharge. In many cases regulation has come about through judicial application of the United States Clean Water Act and other statutes.[10] For example, in a state statute challenge the court found that anticipated thermal pollution impacts were sufficient grounds to reverse approval of construction of two nuclear power plants.[11] Regulation may take very different approaches; in some laws, a best practice is required, such as the use of cooling ponds or cooling towers for waste heat discharge. In other cases, a numerical limit on acceptable temperature increase in the receiving waters is applied. For example, the World Bank standard provides a maximum increase of three degrees Celsius at the margin of the mixing zone.[12]

I'm Rich
this wiki
Focusing on the socialites and "cokehead debutantes" of Liberty City, they often talk about some of the outrageous spending of these people; for example, Tony McTony's collection of 15 Infernus sports cars all with the Tony McTony logo and Cloe Parker's real estate (includes a mega-mansion in Westdyke , Alderney that her father bought for her on the day of her first period) and her ruby-filled breast implants. I'm Rich also features Jill Von Crastenburg, Samantha Muldoon, Lyle Cleethorpes and Alfonso Vasquez including his ex-wife and his daughter January Natasha Vasquez.
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the player can purchase an I'm Rich scratch card, which cost $15. If the player gets the "three house" combo, the prize is a suite at The Star Plaza Hotel .
A lot of beta is seen in the show, suggesting it was made early on in the game. A few of the cars shown in the show have a bit of difference from the final game's vehicle's. Meaning that these design's could be from the beta version. (For example: in the show there is a red Banshee with two black stripes in the middle instead of one. And there is a Turismo that has different rims.)
During the show, locations of Liberty City and San Andreas are often shown, including:
- Tony McTony's high rise glass condo on the West River side of Alderney
- Tony McTony's mansion in Vinewood, Los Santos
- Cloe Parker's mansion on the north side of Alderney along with the von Crastenburg mansion (same street)
- Cloe Parker's penthouse in Middle Park East, Algonquin .
- Cleethorpes' family tobacco farm in San Andreas.
- The Triangle Club in Bohan.
- Star Junction, Algonquin.
- Twitchin's Factory in Broker .
- At one point in the program even Bullworth Academy (the setting of Bully), is shown.

'Expect God's Favor': Interview with Joel Osteen
The megachurch pastor says that by expecting the best, we can enjoy the abundant life God wants for us.
Joel Osteen is Senior Pastor of the largest church in America: 30,000-member Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His weekly television show airs on dozens of channels nationwide, and his optimistic message has made him one of the country's most popular preachers. He spoke with Beliefnet recently about his first book, "Your Best Life Now."
Your book speaks about living at your full potential and getting the most out of life, which is what you say God wants for us. How does God want us to live our lives?
He wants us to live our lives happy. He wants us not to endure them, but to enjoy them. The principle of the book is that you can be happy where you are. I know people have problems say, "Well, I've got a terrible marriage, I've got a sickness I'm dealing with," but the book is a lot about having an attitude to be grateful and just making that decision to enjoy the life God's given us.
You talk about God's favor a lot. What is God's favor?
I believe God's favor is something intangible where you've got God's blessings on your lives. I'm not saying it's not a struggle, but you believe for good things.
There are so many people who don't expect anything good in life. They don't expect to get breaks, they don't expect to get promoted, they don't expect anything positive. So I just try to get people to say, I believe if we expect God's favor, if we declare it, if we thank him when we do see good things happening, then we're going to see more of that.
It almost seems like cognitive therapy: Think your way happy, be optimistic, and expect the best.
I think a lot of it is. A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine. I've read many articles on how a positive attitude, laughing every day and being happy, does help people to recover and live longer.
Is this what you're hearing from your Lakewood church congregants—that they're not expecting the best?
No, I wouldn't think it's from the Lakewood people because they're all fired up. But the message is so much bigger and goes out to so many more people.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Sell."
Home Loan Servicing SolutionsDividend Yield: 7.70% Home Loan Servicing Solutions (NASDAQ: HLSS) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.70%. Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., through its subsidiaries, engages in the acquisition of mortgage servicing assets. Its mortgage servicing assets consists of servicing advances, mortgage servicing rights, rights to mortgage servicing rights, and other related assets. The company has a P/E ratio of 12.08. The average volume for Home Loan Servicing Solutions has been 504,300 shares per day over the past 30 days. Home Loan Servicing Solutions has a market cap of $1.7 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 24% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Home Loan Servicing Solutions as a sell. The area that we feel has been the company's primary weakness has been its disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. When compared to other companies in the Thrifts & Mortgage Finance industry and the overall market, HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLTNS's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLTNS is currently very high, coming in at 95.21%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 46.32% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 49924.76% to $160.93 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLTNS has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 42.15%.
- The strong earnings growth this company has enjoyed -- up -- has apparently played a role in driving up its share price by a solid 25.72%. In addition, the rise in the general market has likely contributed to this stock's strong performance during this past year.Regarding the future course of this stock, we feel that the risks involved in investing in HLSS do not compensate for any future upside potential, despite the fact that it has seen nice gains over the past 12 months.
- HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLTNS has improved earnings per share by 32.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLTNS turned its bottom line around by earning $1.23 versus -$0.01 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.91 versus $1.23).

David Dutton is also charged with aggravated sexual battery, unlawful eavesdropping or surveillance and making false statements.

Busy sports weekend - from Squaw Valley to wine country
These summer days are anything but lazy. A more appropriate word would be crazy, especially to describe this weekend.
Wheels are turning — with and without engines. Endurance athletes early today took their first steps toward Auburn, 100 miles from their start in Squaw Valley, and Little League all-star teams today will take their first steps toward their desired destination of Williamsport, Pa., 3,000 miles away.
Finally, footballs and the sound of colliding pads will fill the air tonight.
Here is a look at this weekend's busy sports schedule:
NASCAR — The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series makes its annual visit to the wine country for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday, in front of a crowd of about 100,000 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma. Qualifying was held Friday, and practice sessions continue today.
Also today, K&N Pro Series West will run its Thunder Valley Resort Casino 200. Bill McAnally Racing of Antelope will field three cars in the 64-lap race around the 1.99-mile road course: three-time series champion Eric Holmes, Moses Smith and Paulie Harraka. Holmes has finished in the top five three times and but has yet to win at Infineon. He won the pole and finished second in 2008.
The field includes points leader Greg Pursley, road-course specialist Boris Said, Sprint Cup youngster Joey Logano and Hershel McGriff who, at 83 years of age, is the oldest driver in the history of NASCAR. McGriff has 35 career victories in the West series, including three at Infineon.
Wheelchair tennis — Sacramento Capitals 2011 brings to Johnson Ranch Racquet Club wheelchair tennis players from recreational to world-ranked status. The tournament is sanctioned by the ITF and USTA, and players are expected from Canada and Mexico, in addition to the United States.
The three-day event continues today and concludes Sunday.
Western States Endurance Run — The 38th annual event began its 100-mile ultra climb and descent at 5 a.m. this morning in Squaw Valley and ends Sunday in Auburn.
There are four athletes entered from Roseville (Carl Costas, Bruce Falzarano, Andrew Garman and Scott Warr) and four from Granite Bay (Kirk Edgerton, Carrie Hyatt, Angie Pozzi and Garry Sewell).
Optimist football — Four Roseville-area players were selected to play for the North team in the 55th annual Optimist All-Star Football Game at 7 p.m. today at American River College:
Cory Brehm was Granite Bay's leading receiver (37 catches for 630 yards and four touchdowns) second-leading rusher (641 yards, five touchdowns, 8.1 yards per carry) last fall. He also had an 82-yard kickoff return.
Beau Smith was the favorite target of Roseville star quarterback Nick Blaser and had 43 receptions for 1,039 yards and eight touchdowns for the Tigers. On defense, Smith had 46 tackles and three interceptions.
Blake Cervantes powered Woodcreek's running game with 1,130 yards (at 6.2 per carry) and 12 touchdowns. He also had a 99-yard kickoff return. Timberwolves teammate Brandon Whitebear caught 15 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns as a tight end.
They'll be North teammates with such stars as Boise State-bound quarterback Jimmy Laughrea of Rocklin and Ference Lang and James Sample of powerhouse Grant. In all, there are 12 players from the Sierra Foothill League on the North roster.

TUPELO, Miss. — Charges were dropped Tuesday against the Mississippi man accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator and a state judge, while authorities searched at another man's home in connection with the case.
The move was announced in a brief document filed in federal court in Oxford hours after Paul Kevin Curtis was released from custody. The charges were dismissed without prejudice, which means they could be reinstated if prosecutors so choose.
Attorneys for the Elvis impersonator have suggested he was framed, and an FBI agent testified in court this week that no evidence of ricin was found at his home.
"I respect President Obama," Curtis said to reporters. "I love my country and would never do anything to pose a threat to him or any other U.S. official."
Prosecutors couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, in Tupelo, numerous law enforcement officers — including some in hazmat suits — converged on the home of another Mississippi man, Everett Dutschke. No charges have been filed against him and he hasn't been arrested. Dutschke has said he is innocent.
Dutschke said that he knows Curtis but that the two had a falling out.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a famous 20th century Earth psychologist and psychiatrist from Switzerland who founded analytic psychology.
Deanna Troi quoted Jung while helping William Riker who was having disturbing thoughts while performing the play Frame of Mind in 2369. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")
He devised the concept of seeking therapeutic results from within the imagination, called active imagination technique. Native Americans had begun a similar practice centuries earlier as they consulted an animal guide as counselor during a vision quest. (VOY: "The Cloud")
Therapists who followed Jung's teachings would explore synchronicities in recent events in order to to retrieve an unconscious memory. In 2374, The Doctor integrated the finer points Jung's therapeutic techniques with the techniques of Amanin of Betazed to create his own approach to reconstructing the memory of Seven of Nine. (VOY: "Retrospect")
Background information
Although not stated or referenced in dialog, the "racial subconscious" theory central to the plot of TOS: "Catspaw" is mostly based on Jung's work.

Simplified list of episodes
"Nature Pants" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season one. In this episode, SpongeBob gives up a modern life to live with the jellyfish.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Patrick Star
- Sandy Cheeks
- Squidward Tentacles
- Eugene Krabs
- Gary the Snail
- Jellyfish
- Large Snail
SynopsisAt work, SpongeBob daydreams of living with the jellyfish in Jellyfish Fields. He accidentally starts a fire, and a fireman runs in and turns on the hose. SpongeBob is in the way, thus fills up with water and falls on the fire, putting it out. Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob why he was not concentrating, and SpongeBob explains that he wishes to live in the wild. He moves to Jellyfish Fields, and gives Patrick mayonnaise, old phone books, and his special jellyfishing net, "Ol' Reliable".
He even takes off all his clothes, except his shoes. SpongeBob tries to fit in with the jellyfish, but just can't get the hang of it. Meanwhile, Patrick and Sandy have a set-up picnic to try to trick SpongeBob into coming back. They eat krabby patties, as an attempt to bribe SpongeBob, but he resists. A crazed and heartbroken Patrick then tries to catch him with Ol' Reliable while jellyfishing, but fails when SpongeBob jumps into the jellyfish hive, where he takes to eating the jelly inside. Upon the swarm's return, SpongeBob greets them in a friendly manner, but is then repeatedly stung and chased into a cave by them. Disheartened, but not giving up yet, SpongeBob tries to sleep in a cave, using a fern as a blanket, but ultimately ends up getting covered in poison sea urchins (apparently the underwater equivalent of poison ivy).
Finally deciding that the wild isn't as good as he thought, SpongeBob returns to Bikini Bottom and, after seeing Sandy's Treedome and the Krusty Krab, realizes his mistake; he had a great life and friends, and gave it all up. Upon his return to the pineapple, he is greeted with a massive "Welcome Home" party, the others apparently having been expecting him. All is forgiven, SpongeBob puts his clothes back on (as a favour to Squidward), and everyone group-hugs. However, the poison sea urchin bacteria spreads, and everyone except SpongeBob becomes itchy.
Deleted Scenes
A scene showing SpongeBob being nearly naked was cut, though his bottom was covered, but was deleted due to nudity.

- As of October 29, 2013, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) gives this episode a rating of 7.7/10 based on 115 ratings by users.tt0769431 TV.com users give this episode a 8.4/10 based on 193 votes.[1]
- "Nature Pants" was ranked #43 during the Best Day Ever event on November 9–10, 2006.
- This is the first time the 11 minutes is referenced. After SpongeBob leaves, Sandy says she'll give him a week to come back, but Squidward says he'll give him eleven minutes. This is a reference to approximately how long an average episode of a cartoon is which could also say that Squidward broke the fourth wall.
- In the episode Planet of the Jellyfish, there was a title card that said Eleven Minutes Later which also breaks the fourth wall in a way.
- During the initial scene in the Krusty Krab, the grill is shown facing the opposite side of the window. This also occurs in Suds, Your Shoe's Untied, and My Pretty Seahorse.
- Some people recall SpongeBob acting like Tarzan in a scene when it premiered. The mysterious scene was probably just a confusion with "The Paper."
- This episode marks the first appearance of Ol' Reliable. It would later be seen in The Best Day Ever and The Pink Purloiner.
- Patrick is shown to not be a good actor as he said a stage direction, "take bite", out loud. This probably wasn't an accidental failure, but just showing how unintelligent Patrick is.
- This is the first time SpongeBob is seen in a jellyfish cave. The second will be in I'm Your Biggest Fanatic and the third will be SpongeHenge.
- When SpongeBob says "Ah, my Jellyfish brothers are returning," he looking at the screen meaning he could've been talking to the viewers thus breaking the fourth wall.
- The name Ol' Reliable is used again for a mechanical net in The Pink Purloiner.
- The fire extinguisher disappears after the fire is put out.
- When the giant snail meows, the original captions say "Wow!".
- Sandy's head is smaller than it usually is.
- Sandy shouldn't have felt the Sea Urchins because she is in her underwater suit.
- The jellyfish hive appears to be smaller on the outside and bigger on the inside.
- The sideview of the Krusty Krab when SpongeBob was walking to it was wrong, it was a long length version of the restaurant with the (KK) Logo at the end of it, the restaurant should have been shorter.
- When the fire extinguisher hits the grill, the patties are shifted significantly to the left, with one floating in mid-air in front of the cabinet. This is corrected in the next scene (right before the grill bursts into flames).

Will Bond ETFs Have Another Banner Year?
There's one word to describe the exchange-traded bond fund business and market in 2009 -- booming. Indeed, last year more than $39 billion flowed into long-only bond ETFs, while more than $26 billion flowed out of long only U.S. stock ETFs. Can fixed-income investors expect more of the same in 2010?

Helping Students Shoulder the Load
Published in Campaign for TC
"I'm so glad you all could come today to not only be a part of the school community, but most importantly spend time with the kids."
On a chilly morning in early January, Principal Elizabeth Jarrett, standing amid colorful student artwork, and book-lined shelves, welcomed a room full of volunteers from Teachers College, JPMorgan Chase (JPMC), World Vision, and the school's Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) to PS 154. The visitors had assembled to distribute backpacks full of school supplies to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Donated by JPMC and assembled by bank employees and members of World Vision, an international NGO committed to improving the lives of children, 90 backpacks were distributed to students in five classrooms. JPMC employees also provided and packed an additional 180 backpacks that will be distributed at two other Harlem schools, PS 36 and PS 76.
PS 154, PS 36, and PS 76 are among seven schools included in TC's Partnership Schools Consortium, which has been awarded a $1 million grant from the JPMC Foundation in order to launch the consortium's efforts to improve the educational and developmental outcomes of children living in under-resourced neighborhoods in Harlem. The consortium is an initiative of TC's Office of School and Community Partnerships (OSCP), led by Associate Vice President Nancy Streim, who notes that "the consortium formalizes and extends OSCP's work in schools throughout Harlem, allowing TC to leverage its teaching, research, and service in support of providing Harlem youth with access to Comprehensive Educational Opportunity."
The latter concept calls for delivering programming in the areas of teaching and learning, expanded learning opportunities, early childhood education, family support and engagement, and mental and physical health services to meet children's academic, social, and developmental needs. "Much of the work over the Consortium's first year has focused on building the instructional capacity of school leaders, teachers and teacher teams as well as providing students with high-quality expanded learning opportunities," said Kecia Hayes, who oversees the consortium for TC. Within the next three to five years, the consortium hopes to expand to include 12 schools.
Combining TC's efforts with support from the JPMC Foundation, a compelling vision of positive, sustainable improvement for children and communities is emerging as a force of change in Harlem.
"Our giving strategy is focused on building communities so that they're thriving," said Gayle Jennings-O'Byrne, Vice President of JPMC Foundation. "That includes parents, students, teachers, school leadership and the community at large. So for us – when we think about communities – we think about involving all key stakeholders who will contribute to academic success, and TC's program is innovative because it does that."
At the event at PS 154, teachers and PTA members actively engaged with the students as finance and local branch managers from JPMC dispersed into classrooms to interact with the children and distribute the backpacks. Volunteers read aloud books such as Of Thee I Sing by Barack Obama and Double Fudge by Judy Bloom, answered questions from curious students about their jobs working in finance, and initiated conversations about how to save money, how debit cards work, and the joys of sharing with others.
"I finished one book and then they said 'encore!'" recalled Nicole King, Chase branch manager at the 125th Street location. "I couldn't believe it, it was the most wonderful thing. What's exciting about this entire event is that not only do I work here but I also live in the area, so it's a double benefit for me in terms of giving back."
Hayes reiterated that sentiment. "Aside from the obvious financial support that an organization like JPMC can provide, the relationship is important because it allows TC to help bridge and expand the networks of young people and their families so that they have access to new and different examples of success and responsible citizenship," she said. "It provides all stakeholders – higher education, principals, teachers, students, parents, and community organizations – with opportunities to develop deeper understandings of how we each fulfill a critical role as responsible citizens to address the needs of the communities in which we live and work."
As the event came to a close, King, along with the other JPMC volunteers and TC staff, had the pleasure of handing out colorful, brand new backpacks to the students, who opened their bags and showed off notebooks, markers, rulers, and other critical school supplies. The children also received personalized hand-written cards with positive words of encouragement from World Vision volunteers. "It takes a whole community to provide different things," said Jarrett, "and something as simple as this has an impact because these volunteers aren't just giving their time, they're leaving a gift. That says something because some of our kids come from homes where they didn't get anything for Christmas."
Jarrett sees the school's relationship with TC and JPMC as promising, particularly in the realm of professional development, which she says "is the lever we're going to use to really implement positive change." Jennings-O'Byrne is also excited to see the relationship with PS 154 and the other consortium schools flourish. "What's unique about this model is that it's really bridging the best practices from a higher ed institution – an amazing one like TC which has so much experience and knowledge in teaching – and bringing it to some of the most challenging schools in Harlem."

Tigo on Saturday wound its project on entrepreneurship to people with disabilities by donating the last 15 wheelchairs to Association of People Living with Disability in Arusha Region.
The donation is part of a joint effort to improve the quality of life for disabled citizens by creating opportunities for them to start their own ventures.
"We believe that access to mobility, work flexibility and financial stability is a vital part of this journey," said Joseph James, Territory Manager Northern Region.
"This is an important initiative for us, as it speaks directly to our commitment to help improve the lives and well-being of the people," he said.
The handover ceremony was held on Saturday at Makumbusho ya Azimio la Arusha Azidiyo Grounds, and the wheelchairs were presented on behalf of the mobile network provider by Joseph James.
The Mayor of Arusha, Gaudance Lyimo received them on behalf of the association of people living with disabilities (Chawata).
"We would like to create a world where people living with disabilities can be economically empowered," said Lyimo.
"This will not only increase their confidence, but will also transform them into actively performing members of the society who contribute to the economy of the country," he said.
Through the entrepreneurial training programme, Tigo has provided members of the association with handsets, SIM cards and training on Tigo services, Tigo Pesa and Tigo Rusha. This will help create vast business opportunities for them and improve their income generating capabilities.
This is the last round of donations made by the company. It donated 26 wheelchairs in Dar es Salaam early this month, and another 9 in Dodoma last weekend.

Looking good so far, but as you say, "early stages". I am just wondering (because it can go either way) which is land and water. I assume black land.
It is just a black/white image so you can't say much about it but I would like to receive some feedback on it already so obvious flaws can be easy corrected. This is my first serious attempt at creating a world map and I am personally satisfied with the result so far. If this is good enough to continue then I will post a more final looking version in the future. This may or may not take me a life time.
Black is land mass, white is water.
Direct link
I will add a scale later to indicate it's massive size.

Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Silly me, black is land mass, white is water. Should have pointed that out.
Oh, I noticed that coast lines look inconsistent. Some look smooth, other sections look more crenate/rugged.
Looks cool.
If I was going to change something I'd vary the size of the islands. There are groups of two three and four and all the islands in the group are the same size. In real life it seems most island chains are varied sizes. Hawaii has islands in descending size pretty much from East to West, Indonesia has two big islands, two medium islands, and tons of smaller ones, you get the idea.
Also, continents 'should' look like they used to fit together Pangea style.
Those two grabs from the Eastern Hemisphere (?) give me that sort of feeling, but the other half of the map feels like it is lacking that coherency.
By the way, asking for C&C early is a really good idea. Nice work so far. Please keep us updated.
I'm currently at war with the brush I use to paint the land mass, I can't get it to paint 100% it paints transparent shapes. Once I have that sorted out I'll see what I can do about the islands. And yes, thanks for the feedback so far.
Right, I got my solid brush back. Shift + 0 sets it to solid. Now, about them islands...........
Edit 2 - Son of edit;
I changed the size of the islands;
Direct link
I'll try to do something with the Pangea style tomorrow.
Oh, remember that one of those islands isn't exactly an island.

Good start (because any start is better than stasis :-) ).
Inconsistent = good. Look at Earth (our best and only example set of coastlines) ... there's plenty of smooth, plenty of ruggedly indented, and everything in between. If anything you may not have *enough* inconsistency. There's an awful lot of very finely notched shore going on. THink about what produces various shore forms. Where is there a strong current washing past? What shape is your land AWAY from the shore? After all, that range of mountains that's all jaggy and new is WHY there's scads of fjords indenting the coast. Vs. the vast plain of sloping dirt that intersects sea level as a series of swooping beachlines and barrier islands. Vs. the volcanoes pushing up from the seafloor.... all sorts of reasons for different interesting shapes. Take a look at Wikipedia's Category:Landforms for ideas. A flaw of some automated fractal map generation routines is when only one *degree* of fractal is employed worldwide. You already improve on that by some variety - now go forth and even further varietize your variety :-).
Btw, flat coastal land/ shallow seafloor doesn't mean *all* low-relief shorelines are smooth and swoopy - look around the periphery of the USA's eastern coast and Florida - sand spits can wind up pointy, they just don't look a lot like your crenellated jagginess - I like that term.
You're getting close to the "I must fill up this rectangular space" sickness. To my eye, those selfsame landforms would look more plausible if more randomly scattered. But they are random, you say? Noooo.... they're somewhat irregular but that's not random. Random can easily include clumpiness. Look at some characteristics like island-separation. If you took a randomly wrinkled dry globe and ran a prospective sea level up and down, you'd probably get at any one time some widely separated landmasses and some that are very close. Indeed, instead of thinking (subconsciously ?) that you have to avoid the coincidences of super-near masses with skinny straits and skinny isthmuses, perhaps think upon the unlikelihood of there being NO such.
At least think about what projection you're going to work with, and why. One apropos thread would be http://www.cartographersguild.com/ge...ojections.html if only because it introduces two of our most eloquent spokespersons on the issues of representing a globe as a flat thing (paper, 2D bit map, what-have-you). Rummage among Hai Etlik's responses to a couple of dozen WIP threads, and you can get a good overview of why one might choose one over another.
Assuming that is that you are representing a globe. Flatlands and the interior surfaces of ringworlds have different rules (?) and depart wildly from what we're used to on Earth and most fiction. By the way, for what purpose is this map? Different reasons bend your cartography in different ways. Hint - what you have looks like no reasonable projection, *unless* it is a large scale map (large scale = small area, remember) of but a small part of a globe. I.e. if it's a locally - a near-flat approximation, with little attendant distortion.
rdbeales brings up another issue you can tackle - how detailed do you want to go, in simulating a "realistic" background for your landforms? He refers to plate tectonics - even sketching in such history mentally, or being aware of the kinds of effects tectonics generate, can generate some realistic shapes. But you don't *have* to go to those lengths to be plausible or pretty. I've fooled around with trying to devise realistic climate and weather patterns - those affect everything from landforms to human activity. But I do that because it's fun for me - one can ignore such obsessiveness and get some reasonable results with a half-dozen climate rules of thumb. If a given arrangement pleases YOU then it is fine on your map; it's when you intend it for others as well that plausibility gets a vote. Stick a map in front of me that has water apparently flowing uphill and I just won't be able to suspend disbelief enough to enjoy your story or movie or game or what-have-you.
When I'm playing a strategy games and when I'm at war, the soil normally paint itself without too much effort but there is only one color. I have never fought these Brushes before but you say that they are transparent? Just use the pencil tool, it does'nt have transparency.
It look ok but how much do you want your world to be realistic? Just saying because 50% of the world is landmass. Well it might be ok if you used mercator.

I knew it was a good idea to post this before continuing. Let's see, from the the posts above the comment involves;
- Islands do not look random. Small issue.
- World map projection. Big issue. Current map doesn't simply seem to have one. I was going for flat land at first then I thought a globe world might be better. I searched through Hai-Etlik's topics, found out about Flex Projector, QGIS, and G.Projector. I need to do more research on this subject. The map so far has been made in Photoshop but these aforementioned tools might be better considering the world map projection type. Unless I can find a good Photoshop tutorial on creating a (more or less) believable world map.
The map is purely for reference, to tell you where something is.
I also just added isthmuses to my vocabulary.
I found the PS plug in Flexify 2 for map projections giving me these results after changing the map to a 2:1 ratio;
Gilbert globe
Mollweide projection
After some reading on the different map projections I think I'll use Winkel tripel.
Edit 2;
Redesigned the map, here it is in Winkel Tripel;
Flat version
Last edited by Iggy; 09-01-2013 at 02:52 PM.
Painted new land and started to paint it using the popular Sanderan tutorial by Tear. My current result is below;
Direct link
The actual map is 6000 x 3000 pixels, imgur.com resized it to 3600 x 1800.
Let me start by addressing the map-o-phant in the room. There is one particular island that will look off when you at the map. The map is to be used in my fantasy novel, it's split into a ice frosted part and a volcanic part. I want to make the mountain on the latter part to look like a volcano but I don't know how yet. There might be more of such oddities later on. I am also not done with painting the land, the ocean looks not good enough for me too. Rivers and roads are not present because of the small scale of the map.
Any way, feel free to take pot shots, I mean, post critics.

It's not a matter of having a "flat map" which you then "put in a projection". That's a common misunderstanding.
All maps are flat, and they are representing a curved surface; this means you have to distort the curved surface by stretching, squashing, or tearing. The particular way you distort it, is a projection. So all maps are flat, all maps have a projection, and all maps have distortion. (Unless the world is flat)
The tricky part is that in order for everything to work out, you have to draw whatever distortion is appropriate for whichever projection you are starting from. If you don't, it means you've effectively given the land itself the opposite distortion of that caused by the projection. You appear to be using Plate Carree which stretches everything out east-west as you approach the poles. You haven't drawn the features that way though, which means you've drawn land that is 'pinched', as you approach the poles, and the projection then stretches it out so it doesn't look pinched. When you switch to another projection, you'll get that backward distortion combined with the distortion of the new projection.
Also, you shouldn't symbolize your map until it's in the final projection otherwise the symbols will get distorted. If you want to make this Winkel Tripel, you should stick to just the raw geometry of the features (solid colours, lines, etc) until you project it into Winkel Tripel, and only then do you try to make it pretty, otherwise you're just wasting effort you'll have to redo later.
God job picking up on what "small scale" means though, a lot of people new to cartography/geography get that backward.

Mucolytics for Sinusitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Mucinex, Robitussin
How It Works
Guaifenesin may help thin the mucus, improving drainage of mucus from the nose and sinuses during sinusitis.
Why It Is Used
Guaifenesin may be used to treat symptoms caused by acute or chronic sinusitis. It is usually used along with antibiotics and home treatment.
How Well It Works
Guaifenesin has not proven to be effective in reducing symptoms of sinusitis, but it is widely used.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Dizziness.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Diarrhea.
- Headache.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Guaifenesin is inexpensive and available without a prescription. There is no evidence showing that it is effective in treating sinusitis.
Saline (saltwater) nasal sprays and washes may help clear up a stuffy nose. Both are available at pharmacies without a prescription. A humidifier may also help thick or dried mucus to drain.
This medicine is often combined with another medicine such as a cough suppressant or decongestant.
Mucolytics may not be safe for young children or for people who have certain health problems. Before you use them, check the label. If you do use these medicines, always follow the directions about how much to use based on age and in some cases weight.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Chatter (おしゃべり Chatter) is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is Chatot's Signature move. It is a unique attack, as it involves talking into the DS microphone. You talk into it as loud as you can, and the noise will be played every time you use Chatter. This attack does more damage the louder you talked and raises the likelihood of confusion (A Chatot with no recorded sound, just its regular cry, will lead to a 1% chance of confusion).
In Battle
The user attacks using a sound wave based on words it has learned. It may also confuse the foe.
Super Contests
Earn +3 if the Pokémon gets the lowest score.
- Chatter can record up to a minute, but recording longer will not do more damage, however.
- The recording made by this move is slightly muffled. This is most likely to prevent the game from saying inappropriate words. This is probably why Chatot is banned from Wi-Fi battles.
- Chatter is one of two moves that cannot be copied by the move sketch along with the move sketch itself.
- The highest chance to confuse the enemy chatter can have is 31%
