The map looks good so far. Compared to the old one the coastline of the main landmass looks way better, I cannot say that however about the smaller islands. Their shapes on the older maps look really good, or your new one they look like regular strokes of a round brush... I would recommend making the coastlines on your new map more irregular to make them seem more natural looking. Your islands on the older map are a very good example of such coastlines as I have stated before. There a many ways to make natural looking coastlines and you can find some of them in the tutorial section.
I'm looking forward to how this map develops.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Before the season begins, almost every team puts these words near the top of a long list of goals: "Win the division."
That's all but a foregone conclusion in Denver, though when the Broncos wrap up the AFC West, there won't be much of a celebration. They didn't bring Peyton Manning to town just to win division titles and, given their six-game winning streak and the soft schedule ahead, this is a team that has every right to be thinking about bigger goals.
Says Broncos coach John Fox: "Our goals are still alive ... and that is, win our division and get into the tournament."
A win over the Buccaneers (6-5) on Sunday or a San Diego loss to Cincinnati will wrap up the division for Denver (8-3).

Grilled Artichokes with Lemon Garlic Caper Aioli | Easy Summer Entertaining Recipes
This is one of my all time favorite 'restaurant' recipes. Anytime I go to a restaurant and I see grilled artichokes on the menu, I order them. I've found that I like them best when simply grilled with a little bit of seasoning and a great dipping sauce. I used to be intimidated by making a dipping sauce- especially those named 'aioli' until I discovered that 'aioli' is mayonnaise... Now I use mayonnaise as a base to make all kinds of great dipping sauces- this lemon and caper is one of my favorites. It is great with grilled shrimp, too- a favorite from my catering days.
Grilled Artichokes
with a Lemon Garlic Caper Aioli
3 artichokes, quartered
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon of sea salt + 2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon of cracked pepper
for the aioli:
3/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 lemon, the juice of
1 clove of garlic
2 tablespoons of capers (or more, if you'd like)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of cracked pepper
Combine olive oil and 1 clove of garlic cut in slices. Let the garlic infuse into the oil while you are preparing the artichokes.
Cut the artichokes in quarters, lengthwise. Fill a medium saucepan with water with 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Bring to a boil. Add artichoke quarters and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let them cool on a baking sheet. If you are preparing these ahead of time, you can refrigerate them at this point up to over night.
Before grilling, brush the garlic infused olive oil onto all sides of the artichoke hearts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until there is a nice char on the leaves.
For the sauce, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic capers, salt and pepper. Add more lemon, salt and/or pepper to taste.

So to demonstrate the inherent borkedness of miffles, I decided to make a (semi-serious) thread about giving the rest of the SP generators a miffles-like stat balance. Now, we're not talking about auto-genning SP with none floating so she can rest off early game hits. We're not talking about locking out that EN's utility units (what's a succubus? What are rats?). We're not talking about a fieldwide heal and atk buff. We're just talking about stats. In fact, not only are there no stat increases, in some cases, there are total stat decreases. And maybe a trait here and there.
Level 1 miff:
Agi 3->1
owl sage: can't change his stats
agi 3->1
range 3->2
atk: 20->10
Archer scout:
atk: 20->10
agility: 2->1
range: 3->2
add trait: this unit cannot be the target of level 1 grimoires.
Advent: more or less in the right place with agility, attack, and range being relatively low and HP being relatively high.
Puffball: agi 3->1, HP 10->30
Mad priest (not SP gen so much as SP degen, but go with it).
agi 4->1
range 3->2
Now...how many of you are willing to support any of these changes? Notice that these units got no better SP gen abilities. They didn't get bonus skills that could help in a jam, or completely swing a certain match (EN). They just got stats that would allow them to use their abilities and not fall over if sneezed upon.
And if you're not willing to support any of them, then why does miff have 55 HP on an auto-SP genning unit that requires no floating (Lawtia can go F itself) and can bash your face in once a couple of her buddies hit the field? There's a difference between best SP gen (needing no floating SP), and having an amazing unit body.

Preference is The Honest Kitchen's meat-free & grain-free recipe! Preference is suggested for use with added raw meat, meaty bones or cooked meat of your choice (never cooked bones), as a base for a home made diet. This diet contains a custom vitamin-mineral premix with balanced calcium: phosphorus ratios, which are vital for the maintenance of healthy cells, bones and blood. This recipe is ideal for dogs who are sensitive to more popular meats; exotic meats, fish or alternative protein sources may be used as required.
Honest Kitchen uses eco-friendly packaging! A fine, recyclable 'minimalist' and unprinted barrier bag that efficiently protects the food inside helps reduce materials usage and waste. The bag is enclosed in a 100% recycled box made from unbleached kraft paperboard. The box is printed with soy-based inks and the finished product is 100% biodegradable or recyclable again after use, too.
The Honest Kitchen makes wholesome, natural food for dogs using gentle dehydration, a unique new approach to canine nutrition. These foods help you create delicious and nutritious meals made with real, recognizable, and human-grade ingredients that are ready to prepare and serve at home. Simply add warm water to rehydrate, and you have a complete meal with USDA meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, organic flaxseed, herbs, vitamins, minerals.
The Honest Kitchen's dehydrated food offers many of the benefits of a biologically appropriate raw pet food diet, combined with the convenience and peace of mind of a nutritionally balanced, ready-blended product. Dehydration simply removes the moisture, which prevents decomposition. As an ancient form of preserving food, virtually all of the nutrients are left intact. This is a much "fresher", and therefore healthier, approach than the extrusion process that dry kibble undergoes. See below for a description of each formula.All of Honest Kitchen's dog food and dehydrated raw dog food products are formulated to meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and you don't have to add anything to make them 'complete'. However, the original idea behind these diets was as a base for a raw or other fresh homemade diet and to facilitate that, they are somewhat 'lite' in terms of fat and protein, so that your own choice of raw, or cooked, meat can be added, if desired.
It is entirely a matter of personal choice (and your dog's taste!) whether you add in extra meat and other ingredients, or not. Most people with younger and more active dogs like to mix in the additional meat, and those with senior or overweight animals usually prefer to feed the organic dog food alone. The Honest Kitchen supplies pet owners with the best in fresh dehydrated raw dog food and other organic dog food products.
About Dehydration
Dehydration or drying, is one of the oldest and gentlest methods of food preservation. Food dehydration works by removing only the water content from the ingredients. All other nutrients remain, and become highly concentrated. Dried foods are extremely nutritious, easy to prepare and store, and light weight to ship.
Because dehydration takes place at moderate temperatures, the ingredients are still considered raw. The only exceptions are the meat and egg ingredients, which are dehydrated at high enough temperatures to kill any bacteria present and are therefore essentially considered 'cooked'. This is because they must be human-edible grade, to enter our manufacturing facility.
The removal of moisture prevents enzymatic activity, which can lead to browning and decomposition of foods, and also prevents the growth of bacteria, yeast and molds. Dehydration does not actually destroy or kill the food enzymes, as occurs in baking and freezing or high pressure processing such as extrusion. Enzyme activity in dehydrated foods is simply suspended, until the food is rehydrated.
A remarkable example of the way dehydration preserves without destroying, is in Africa, where scientists have discovered live fish being hatched from fish eggs, that have been dehydrated in the sun, during droughts that sometimes last for years. When the rains fall, the lakes and rivers refill with water to rehydrate the eggs - and live fish emerge. The eggs are actually preserved and remain viable throughout the natural dehydration that takes place.

the only base product I use!
By Bug
from Scottsdale, AZ
I mix this product with water to hydrate for a few minutes then add fresh ground raw dog beef that a butcher in my area grinds. When I start the process of making a batch, my dogs won't leave my side! The smells of the food drive them crazy!! They never leave one drop in their bowls.

Honest Kitchen is awesome!
By Pet Person
from Tampa, FL
We are long term Honest Kitchen users in this house. Any of their grain-free formulas, including their base mixes, are a frequent part of my two dogs' diets. (Twelve year old Powderpuff Chinese Crested and eight year old Brussels Griffon mix.) The variety of proteins and the fact that this food is easy to travel with are both pluses, but the main reason I love The Honest Kitchen is that I trust the company. They are one of a very small, very select group of pet food companies who can claim not just human grade ingredients, but a true human grade product that is made in a facility that also produces human food, and can therefore actually be eaten by humans. My dogs both have allergies and came from rescue situations with health challenges when I adopted them. I employ a rotational feeding system with them, to eliminate the propensity for food allergies as much as I can, and I focus on a mostly raw or gently processed diet for optimal health. The Honest Kitchen is a big part of this feeding philosophy. You can't go wrong with any of their products in my opinion!
My dogs love love this food!
By Rockhouselake corgis
from Chelsea, Al.
This is the best dog food I have ever bought in my 67 years !! My dogs love it and they look great! I buy Force. I love that it is human grade and contains no ingredients from China, which is very important to me. I know that I am feeding a top notch food . Thank you Honest Kitchen for a food that I don't have to worry about.

Best of the Best
By sophiemol
from Philadelphia, PA
I firmly believe that The Honest Kitchen is the best food you can give your dog. It's all human food, made in a human grade food facility. Yes, it's a pain to mix together. But I just I mix about a weeks worth ahead of time and refrigerate it. You do have to add a meat source to preference because it doesn't have any, which makes it good if you are testing for food allergies. Within 3 weeks I saw a huge improvement in my dog's coat and overall energy level. I can't say enough positive things about this food.
Can't believe she likes this
By Chicken Lady
from Roseville, CA
My 13 year old Lab had a vestibular attack and had bad gastrointestinal problems. I took her to holistic vet and she gave us a sample of Preference. I didn't think my girl would eat it but she LOVES it. Her tummy problems are gone and she is doing great.

By Neiman's Mom
from Grand Rapids, MI
I bought this for my slightly overweight Doberman (Neiman) who was diagnosed with cancer, because I want to provide him with a grain-free diet. I was nervous about the strong "green" smell when I first opened the bag, but Neiman gobbled it up right away. After a month of using this food, to which I add shredded chicken (cooked in crock pot every few days), he continues to be eager for each meal. He has also lost most of his chub, so my senior dog is looking as svelt as any youngster!
Great for Dogs with allergies
By Ginger
from Burnaby, BC
My dog was diagnosed a with a horrible yeast infection and food allergies a few months ago. She was put on meds and did get better. I was feeding her a limited ingredient diet. I did a ton of research on yeast and all the info said not to feed meds and to feed raw! My head was spinning. My dog ended up getting sick from the last dose of the anti-biotics so I had her on cooked ground turkey, pumpkin and a bit of rice. I started to re-introduce her old food which was a lamb based formula. I noticed that the more of her old food she ate, the itchier she became! I sent an email to The Honest Kitchen asking about foods good for allergies and yeast. They sent several samples the next day and the Preference suited her best. I have been feeding her Preference for almost a month and she is no longer itchy. I like the fact that you can add whatever you like. She loves loves loves it! I am so happy to have found this product. It is a bit expensive, but I know it is the best for my girl.

The Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address was supposed to create a national stage for one of the party's emerging young leaders. But as Jay Field reports, the content of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's speech is getting less attention than the free bit of marketing it provided to one of Maine's most recognizable brands.
It can happen to the best of us, right? We could be giving a class presentation, or a lengthy toast to a loved one headed for the alter. Or - in Marco Rubio's case - a highly anticipated speech to millions of our fellow Americans on television.
On Tuesday night, Rubio was well into a spirited conservative critique of President Obama's State of the Union address.
"The world is a better place when America is the strongest nation on earth. But we can't remain powerful, if we don't have an economy that can afford it," he said.
And then, it happened. Rubio got thirsty.
"Nothing has frustrated me more than false choices like the ones the President laid out tonight." (Long pause as Rubio takes a sip of water) "The choice isn't just between big government and big business," he continued. "What we need is a accountable, efficient and effective government that allows small new businesses to create more middle class jobs."
Radio listeners just heard a long pause. But TV viewers saw the parched Rubio reach - slightly awkwardly - off camera and grab a bottle of water. A bottle of water made right here in Maine.
"I was delighted that Poland Spring was right at hand there while Sen. Rubio had a moment of thirst," says Jane Lazgin, spokesperson for Nestle Waters, Poland Spring's parent company. "The response has been tremendously enthusiastic from out consumers and our fans."
Rubio's awkward water break moment immediately went viral. USA Today reported a little over 9,000 tweets per minute in the moments after THE sip. The senator poked fun at himself later, tweeting a photo of a bottle of Poland Spring and joking about the episode on the morning news shows.
Poland Spring itself didn't make mention of the cameo on its Facebook page until around midday, leading some marketing gurus to accuse the company of dropping the bottle. But Christopher Clegg, with Portland Marketing Analytics, says the episode is still a huge PR win for Poland Spring.
"I think I read a number that said 38 million saw the State of the Union the other night. And so, if any of those folks hung on and watched his response, you're looking at 30-plus million impressions Poland Spring is getting from that," Clegg says. "And that's natural media. That's not media they had to purchase."
Clegg says companies like Poland Spring typically spend an average of $12 for every 1,000 impressions. So at a minimum, he says the "Rubio water break" has probably given Poland Spring hundreds of thousands of dollars in free media exposure.

A Marine recruiter has been charged with sexually assaulting young female recruits in Rowan County.
Authorities say they arrested 24-year-old Sgt. Derek Percival at his Salisbury apartment on Saturday. He faces charges including sexual battery, false imprisonment and communicating threats.
Deputies say the alleged assaults happened at Percival's apartment and at a Marine recruiting office in Salisbury. Officials say Percival met the two victims through his work as a recruiter.
Percival was jailed on $100,000 bond, and it wasn't known if he had an attorney.

This is a review of the book The Signature of All Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert, which follows the life of nineteenth-century botanist Alma Whittaker.
As one of the few women of my demographic who has not read (nor seen) Eat Pray Love, I came at this book with no preconceived ideas about it or its author. Instead, I approached it with the enthusiasm of someone who is given a book by a person who knows them, with the hope it would be a good read. And I was not disappointed.
Gilbert's tale is told with sufficient detail and background that I wasn't sure for a long time whether its protagonist, Alma Whittaker, was a real historical figure or not. The information about her father is just wild enough to be true, especially considering his background, and the details of her early life and the characters of her mother and father are so well developed that it was really a toss-up for a long time as to whether this was a biography or a novel. (Of course, a simple Google search would have been enough to stem that debate, but to be honest it was one I rather enjoyed having with myself. It made the story that much more interesting.)
Alma Whittaker is herself an interesting character. Given the background Gilbert provides her with, it is unlikely she would have been anything else, but even that conclusion is testament to the quality of the narrative. We are told the story through Alma's eyes, with her prejudices, beliefs and opinions sprinkled liberally throughout, but they make the story more compelling, not less. The arrival of her sister Prudence is stated with the bluntness of an eleven year old who had hitherto been the only child; her discovery later of the outcome of some of Prudence's decisions means that not only she, but the reader, must delve back to reconsider the sisters' behaviour in light of this new information. As we see through Alma's eyes, we are forced to realise the limitations that perspective contains.
Other characters, too, are fascinating for both what they offer and what they cannot. The Dutch housekeeper Hanneke de Groot is a font of information – but only if you know how to ask for it. Alma's father, Henry, is notable for his wide knowledge and fine acquisitions, but also for his lack of empathy and tenderness. Ambrose Pike, the artist who comes to stay at the Whittaker house, White Acre, is someone who can offer Alma what she wants, but not what she needs. And Prudence, who is to Alma little more than a footnote, is capable of much greater strength and self sacrifice than not only Alma believes, but also than of Alma herself.
Running parallel to the study in characters and their strengths and weaknesses (though not necessarily delving into character studies, so to speak) is the scientific narrative of biology in the 1800s. Alma chooses to study mosses, partly because she needs something to occupy her scientific mind while acting as the matron of her father's house, and partly because they are convenient in that she does not need to leave the property to do so. Her deductions, however, are more far-reaching than even she could have conceived. She may need to travel to reach their conclusion, but the years at White Acre with her mosses stand her in excellent stead for the research to come.
The way Gilbert links Alma's study with the wider scientific world of the 1800s is cleverly done, and so seamless it is, again, hard to differentiate this work from biography. Sure, Alma Whittaker is a fictional character, but that doesn't make her presence in this world any less fascinating. In fact, I was almost wishing by the end that she had existed, as it would have added an extra dimension to the scientific activity of the era.
The Signature of All Things is, all told, a very cleverly written story about a character and situation so complex it almost seems incredible they have been invented. The narrative is smooth and the story compelling. All told, I can heartily recommend this book as a worthwhile and fascinating addition to any library.

This week Gerald Kitabu interviews Dilhani Wijeyesekera, the Country Director of Restless Development, a youth-led development organisation on their participation in the new Constitution process. Excerpts:
QUESTION: The constitution is the mother law which can hinder or take youth agendas seriously; what is the position of the youth in the current constitution process?
ANSWER: A number of consultations have been done with young people in Tanzania but it is currently only involving young people from a few geographical areas, and has not been wide enough to understand the priorities and interests of youth from rural and urban areas as well aspeople with disabilities.
Q: How does your organisation involve youth in constitutional process?
A: Restless Development has been running youth forums in Songea, Mbeya, Iringa, Dar es Salaam and Dodoma on civic education, including sensitising and educating young people's role in development and how young people can engage in the constitutional review process. In 2009/10, Restless Development supported the development of Mkukuta II by organising a national youth consultation bringing together 150 young people together as well as 83 civil society organisations to review the strategy.
We would encourage key actors coordinating this process to ensure that young people have an opportunity to participate in the constitutional review process in Tanzania, and Restless Development would be very happy to contribute its expertise to such a process.
Q: What youth aspects and programmes are missing in the current constitutional process?
A: The key priority for young people is to ensure their role in decision-making in Tanzania is recognised and enshrined through guaranteed rights to participation within the existing and future decision-making bodies from the village to the national level.
Q: Very often many organisations look upon youth only as target groups for initiatives, projects and programmes, they don't involve them in their programmes. How is your organization helping youth to realise their potentialities?
A: Restless Development as the youth-led organisation recognises that young people have an important role to play in development and decision- making.
We also understand that young people have urgent development problems which affect their ability to participate. Such as 45 percent of new HIV affections are among the young; 44 percent of young women are mothers or pregnant by the time they are 19 and 53.3 percent of the unemployed workforce is young people.
So, Restless development helps young people to address these issues by building their skills and capacities as development leaders in Tanzania. We see young people as positive social actors in society, and through our programmes, we provide young people with the opportunity to lead by
training young people to lead community-based development work across 100 sites in Tanzania in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), livelihoods and civic education.
Other services includes ensuring that the majority of our staff are young so that we are truly youth led and supporting our alumni of over 2000 individuals to continue peer education in their places of work, universities and communities.
Over 70 percent of our alumni today work in public service – they are a testament to positive active citizenship for the development of the community and nation in Tanzania. Furthermore, we organise youth consultations between government, development actors, private sector and donors to ensure young people have the opportunity to influence policies and strategies, work with local leaders from village to regional levels to support young people to be included in decision making bodies across the sectors, provide career guidance and form partnerships for entry level jobs in public and private sector organizations to help young people get on.
We also make sure that young people including our staff, volunteers, alumni and target groups are engaged in planning, delivery and assessment of our work such as leading community based situation analysis, leading our activities, and taking part in our annual review of progress
Q: The Youth have many challenges today than ever before in history, with examples, how is your organization address the challenges facing them?
A: In 2011, our 100 young community and national volunteers assisted reaching 38,596 youths for accessing of quality sexual and reproductive health services; 2,800 youths for livelihoods and entrepreneurship education and training;, 1939 young people have been supported with career and business development advice; and 3,100 young people have been involved in receiving civic education.
Here is a live example of how our young people are contributing to development in Tanzania:
The Challenge:
Mwanahamisi Rashidi,16, lives in Mchoteka ward, Tunduru district, Ruvuma region. Her parents died when she was in primary school.
She has always dreamt of becoming a teacher and passed her Standard VII exams to join Mchoteka Day Secondary School in 2008.
When she was in Form III she became pregnant. She had no education in sexual and reproductive health and was shortly expelled from school. In May 2011, she gave birth to a baby girl.
Young people, especially girls, are disproportionately affected by poverty and exclusion in Ruvuma. This is reflected in the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the country. In 2009 Restless Development started a baseline survey in Ruvuma to inform the start up of a new regional programme to address young people's needs.
We identified that across the 74 partner schools we intended to work with across three districts of Mbinga, Tunduru and Namtumbo, only 13 percent of teenage mothers were returning to school after giving birth. The result is many girls are not fulfilling their ambition and the right to complete primary and secondary education.
The Initiative:
Restless Development in response to a number of significant data demonstrating that young people were being left out, opened up a regional programme in 2010, and placed 30 community volunteer peer education over three districts. With their support we reached 4,000 young people through in and out of school activities to promote knowledge of and access to sexual and reproductive health services.
The community volunteers work closely with local communities who participate in setting up of the programme to assess local needs, establish community action groups (where they don't already exist) to provide young people with a platform to organize their activities, and through the community action groups organize events and comprehensive training to young people, and local stakeholders.
Through the visibility of the Restless Development community volunteers, Mwanahamisi came to hear that there were young people providing education and assistance to young people in her ward. She approached Lawrence, one of the community volunteers for assistance in protecting her health and talk about her future plans.
The Result:
After hearing about Restless Development's community volunteers in her area, she visited two volunteers feeling that she no longer had any opportunities for her future. She told them of her dream of becoming a teacher, and her fear that this could no longer happen for her.
The team sensitized on the policy for the right for teenage mothers to return to school, and provided her peer education on sexual health including HIV and AIDS prevention, safe sex, and life skills, and provided her moral encouragement by sharing stories of other girls returning to school in Tanzania after pregnancy.
Mwanahamisi decided she wanted to try to re-enter her school, and with the support of two community volunteers she met with her former head master to discuss the matter. With discussion, the headmaster accepted her back into school and she will be sitting form four national examinations in October 2011.
Q: You have talked of safe sex but traditionally many women fall prey to unprotected sex against their will. How is your organisation trying to address this problem?
A: At least 50 percent of Restless Development national and community volunteers are females ensuring that young people in the community and community leaders are seeing female role models who can help young girls address the challenges facing them. We also ensure our male volunteers are sensitised and supportive of empowering women and girls as part of the five weeks technical training they receive before their placement.
We are promoting reduction of unprotected sex through peer education for young people, including young women and girls, in and out of school focusing on knowledge of HIV prevention, delaying of sexual debut, reduction of number of partners, and condom use. We also provide support in accessing VCT and sexual health services, and training on life skills to assist young people in making the right choices.
We also run community events to help sensitize community members, families, and local leaders on the problems facing young women.
A recent external evaluation by AMCA Inter-Consult in 2011 found that 94 percent of young people in Restless Development placement sites could correctly identify four ways to prevent HIV, compared with 65 percent in control areas of the study. VCT attendance in placement sites is very high averaging 75 percent (78 percent girls) youths out of school said they had gone for VCT compared with the control where averagely only 43.2 percent had gone for VCT.
We are working with village and ward level multi-sectoral AIDS committees across Iringa, Ruvuma, and Mbeya to ensure young people are represented at these forums, and are able to influence decisions for the benefit of young people in their communities.
We cannot do this work alone, and so we partner with other expert organizations to address these issues, and will continue to expand into new partnerships as part of our new national strategy launched in November 2011.
Q: As you fight against HIV/Aids, there is an increasing number of youth involved in commercial sex. What special programmes do you have for this group?
A: Restless Development programmes reach both in and out of school youth, while we do not have a special programme specifically targeting commercial sex workers we know that our activities like risk reduction counseling and peer advise, condom use education, and VCT to mention a few, reach young people involved in commercial sex work, since they live in the urban and rural communities we reach.
The priority of Restless Development is to address key drivers of the HIV, teach young people life skills to enable them make informed choices.
Q: Being a Country Director leading a youth organisation, what is your advice to the youth?
A: We know that the youth population is on the rise with 44 percent under 15. We have all made pledges of support to engage young people in development through government, donor, and civil society policies and plans.
It remains urgent that we engage young people as actors in development at all stages of our collective programmes, and importantly ensure we coordinate as a sector so we can make the best resources of our skills and expertise to scale up of support and delivery of quality programmes with and for young people across the country so that young people really can be the engine of macro-economic growth and development in Tanzania for the future.

Bacteria are any of a very large group of single-celled microorganisms that display a wide range of metabolic types, geometric shapes and environmental habitats—and niches—of occurrence. Normally only several micrometers in length, bacteria assume the form of spheres, rods, spirals and other shapes. Bacteria are found in a very broad gamut of habitats; for example, bacterial extremophiles that thrive in such places as hot springs, arctic environments, radioactive waste, deep sea oil seeps, deep Earth crustal environments, hypersaline ponds and within other living organisms. There are approximately 50 million bacterial organisms in a single gram of typical surface soil. The worldwide bacterial biomass exceeds that of all plants and animals on Earth. However, the majority of bacteria have not yet been characterised,
Bacteria are members of the prokaryote group. In contrast to eukaryote cells, bacteria lack a cell nucleus and customarily have no organelles. The bacteria domain can be grouped into two major categories: (a) Eubacteria and (b) Cyanobacteria. The latter group has historically been termed blue-green algae, but modern cladistics classifies these as bacteria. Presently the bacteria are considered composed of five discrete clades, or unique phylogenetic trees, each having a unique common ancestor. While there are a number of recognized phyla, the dominant ones are Proteobacteria, Firmacutes, Actinobacteria.
This major phylum incorporates a gamut of pathogens, such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Vibrio, Helicobacter, and numerous other genera. Some other proteobacteria are free-living, and include many of the species responsible for fixing nitrogen. Many move about using flagellae, but some are non-motile or rely on bacterial gliding. The latter include myxobacteria, a unique group of bacteria that can aggregate to form multicellular fruiting bodies.
A wide variety of metabolic types reside within proteobacteria. Most species are facultatively or obligately anaerobic, chemoautotrophs, and heterotrophic, but there are many exceptions. Numerous genera, which are not closely related to each other, convert energy from light through photosynthesis. These are termed purple, in referernce to their generally reddish pigmentation.
This phylum has species that exhibit rounded or rod shaped cells, all of which test gram positive, e.g. have high levels of peptidoglycan. Many firmacute species can enter an endospore phase, representing a desiccated non-reproductive state. These lifeforms are most often extremophiles that can survive temperature, radiation or other extreme abiotic conditions. They are able to persist in these dormant forms for very long times and are resistant to environmental degradation.
Actinomyces israelii bacteria with scanning
electon false color micrograph. This gram positive phylum has widespread occurrence in soils, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Many of the species in the phylum are key decomposers of organic detritus, and thus have an important role in the carbon cycle. Some of the species of Actinobacteria are pathogens and inhabit plant or animal hosts. Most of the phylum are aerobic species, but some are capable of metaboizing in oxygen deprived environments. This phylum often exhibits a filamentous branched structure as in the case of Actinomyces israelii. The organism believed to be the oldest living creature is a species within the Actinobacteria found in Siberia, that is thought to date to about 500,000 years before present.
This widely occurring phylum is found in soils, sediment, animal guts and animal oral cavities. Bacteroidtes are known to inhabit the deserts of Antarctica. Some species are known for their robustness as decomposers notably of chitin and polymeric carbon, such as insoluble forms present in fungal cell walls; such strong decomposition capabilities make the Bacteroidetes instrumental in the carbon cycle and contribute to the ability to restore nutrient poor soils. The Bacteroidetes represent a phenotypically diverse set of organisms, whose geometric forms are frequently rod or curved shaped. In some cases the genera may be variously photosynthetic, non-motile or gliding, but they are generally gram-negative. Certain species are known to be invertbrate symbionts.
Cellular structure and metabolism
Bacterial cells, lacking a nucleus and organelles, are capable of rapid division; their cell division is by binary fission and may occur approximately every twenty minutes. As with the other prokayotes, cell structures are markedly simpler than eukaryotes; correspondingly bacterial DNA is not associated with histones. Like other prokaryotes, the DNA is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane, but resides in a nuclear region of the cell. The chemistry of the bacterial cell wall is unique, and very often contains peptidoglycan.
Early life history
Ancestors of extant bacteria are thought to be unicellular organisms, possibly the first lifeforms of the planet Earth, appearing approximately 3.5 billion years before present. Some of the earliest evidence of bacteria is in Onverwact shales of South Africa. Scientists regard the emergence of bacteria is one of the most astounding events in Earth history, since there are no other proto-lifeforms of their complexity that previously were known to exist on Earth. How and where bacteria developed is one of the great mysteries of science. Bacterial micro-organisms likely diverged from archaea around about 3.2 to 2.5 billion years before present, with their common ancestor possibly a hyperthermophile, e.g. a creature capable of surviving unusually high thermal regimes.
One early bacterium, Kakabekia umbellata, has been determined to have existed in disparate locales including North Wales, Alaska and Iceland; the fact that this set of occurrences all share soils that are ammonia rich has prompted speculation that this bacterium derived from an era when the Earth's environment was rich in ammonia.
Until approximately one billion years before present, in fact, Earth's lifeforms were dominated by microscopic creatures such as bacteria, viruses and archaea.
Occurrence and function
Bacteria occur in almost any man-made or natural environment, including in soils, water and the atmosphere, as well as on and inside of living organisms. In fact, many bacteria species are extremophiles, which are adapted variously to extreme temperature, pressure, pH, salinity and other abiotic factors. The family Thermaceae is comprised by a number of thermophilic genera, including Thermus, Meiothermus, Marinithermus, Vulcanithermus, Oceanithermus and Truepera.
Bacterial members of genus Deinococcus are highly resistent to extreme doses of ionising radiation. In fact, some bacterial species within each phyllum are some type of extremophile, and in some cases a given bacterium may be an extremophile with respect to two or more abiotic parameters.
Bacterial organisms are key in recycling nutrients, with many aspects of nutrient cycles depending on bacterial metabolism, such as nitrogen fixation from the Earth's atmosphere and putrefaction.
Anaerobic bacteria
See main article: Anaerobic bacteria
Anaerobic bacteria are microorganisms that thrive in the absence of oxygen; in fact numerous anaerobes cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Araerobic metabolism typically involves inorganic/organic redox reactions, including anaerobic respiration and fermentation reactions, producing volatile fatty acids and gaseous molecules, such as methane. Anaerobic bacteria are also involved in the digestion process of grazing animals.
History of bacterial research
Van Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist to observe a bacterium directly; in the year 1676 he employed a single lens microscope of his own development. It was not until the 1860s and 1870s that Louis Pateur, Robert Koch and Joseph Lister advanced the state of bacteriology by analyzing the phenomenology of bacterial action on food spoilage.

Governmental characterization
Governmental agencies are chiefly interested in bacteria from the standpoint of disease transmission and food safety. In some cases these agencies also sponsor basic research on taxonomy, evolution, metabolism and other fundamental areas of taxa investigation.
U.S. Department of Agriculture

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service characterizes Bacteria as living single-cell organisms. Bacteria can be transported by water, wind, insects, plants and animals (including people); moreover, bacteria generally survive well on skin and clothes and animal hair. They also thrive in scabs, scars, the mouth, nose, throat, intestines and room-temperature foods.
Numerous strains of bacteria are correctly depicted as the causes of many human and animal diseases, but there are many bacterial types which are beneficial for all types of living matter.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
The National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases characterizes Bacteria as living things that have only one cell. Under a microscope, they look like balls, rods or spirals. They are so small that a line of 1000 could fit across a pencil eraser. Most bacteria won't harm you – less than one percent of bacterial species cause illness. Many types are actually beneficial. Some bacteria assist in food digestion, destroying disease-causing cells and providing the body needed vitamins. Bacteria are also used in making healthy foods like yogurt and cheese. However, infectious bacteria cause illness or death. They reproduce quickly in your body. Many emit chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and induce sickness. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli.
Antibiotics are the customary treatment for bacterial infection. It is important to take antibiotics in exactly the manner prescribed by a physician. Each time you take antibiotics, you increase the chances that bacteria in your body will learn to resist them. Later, you could get or spread an infection that those antibiotics cannot cure.

ELIZABETH CITY (AP) -- Elizabeth City State University could face the loss of federal financial aid as well as nearly $4.4 million in fines for not reporting more than 120 crimes as required by law.
The Daily Advance of Elizabeth City reports that the Clery Act requires colleges and universities receiving federal funds to report all on-campus crimes to the U.S. Department of Education. Failing to do so can result in fines of up to $35,000 per violation. It also can result in suspension from federal student financial aid programs.
Chancellor Willie Gilchrist announced last week that university police failed to investigate 125 crimes, some of which dated back to 2007. He said that among the uninvestigated crimes were 17 possible sexual assaults.
Gilchrist resigned last Friday in the wake of the report.
Local police say they have uncovered more than 100 crimes reported on the Elizabeth City State University campus dating to 2007 that were never investigated.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., that the crimes include 18 sexual assaults reported but not investigated.
Elizabeth City police Capt. John Young says police have solved 40 of the 126 cases.
About two weeks ago, the city police began sending off-duty patrol officers to help with campus security around the clock.
Campus Police Chief Sam Beamon resigned Friday in the wake of a sexual assault case at Butler Hall last month. He had been chief for 10 years.

Budding Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|David Lee
|First Appearance
"They were never really alive. I was doing them a favor."
Nicholas Pike is a budding serial killer who appeared in Season Six of CSI: Miami.
"People seem to think there's an immediate reaction. It's like a sunburn: it takes a while before it shows up."
Pike was once very physically active, but when he was diagnosed with phototoxicity, allergy to the sun, he was forced to stay indoors during the bright hours of the day. As a result he started to obsess over the people outside who could move around freely, even buying a telescope so he could watch them. He became angered that they were wasting their lives and started killing them.
|This section is a stub and requires expanding
Modus Operandi
Pike would spy on his victims using telescope through his apartment window, targeting those he saw as wasting their lives. He strangled his victims to death with a garrot wire concealed in his wristwatch. He used the cover of an eclipse or night because of his condition. Aside from Ronnie Temple, all the victims were attacked in their homes.
Known Victims
- 2007:
- October 28: Diana Long (spent time on her computer)
- October 29
- Ronnie Temple (sold drugs by his cabana)
- Mario Montero (attempted, but survived; the attack was interrupted; spent time on his computer)
- October 30: Unnamed victim (intended; played video games)


text: While much has changed since his debut LP, certain things have retained their integrity, as Chris de Burgh releases 'The Hands of Man', his 20th studio album of original new material. "I think you have to grow with your ideas, your songs and your music, and that is what I've tried to do," he says. "On the new record, my intention was to reflect who I am today and the things that I think about." Chris approached many of the new songs from the perspective of not only how they could be performed on stage but, beyond that, how his audience might react to them in the live arena. "When it comes to writing songs, I often think of them as the finished article, in reverse; I imagine people coming out of the theatre or concert hall - after I've done the concert - and talking about it. I ask myself 'Did they enjoy it?' and then I move backwards into the moments of sheer delight and fun and dancing, the whole build-up." Always a prolific touring artist, Chris will have ample opportunity to judge his instincts against the reaction of audiences when he tours the UK this spring in support of 'The Hands Of Man'. The tour will take Chris and band to five UK cities, continuing throughout Europe and on to Canada and North America. For more information, head to cdeb.com.

- This article is about the car. For the manufacturer of the same name, see Willard (manufacturer).
The Willard is a sedan available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. In GTA IV, it is made by the manufacturer of the same name.
DesignThe Willard resembles a 1988-1993 Chrysler New Yorker Salon or Dodge Dynasty with 1983-1984 Toyota Cressida grille in GTA San Andreas; in GTA IV, it strongly resembles a 1986 Buick LeSabre the only notable difference being the configuration of its taillights. The Willard in GTA IV has also quite a number of similarities as compared to the First Generation Proton Saga (Saloon), and Fourth Generation Toyota Carina. The overall body of the car remains the same, with a few changes to the headlights and taillights.
The performance of the Willard in GTA San Andreas is as expected from a below standard sedan. The car's 6 cylinder engine in a FR layout is rather mediocre, and as such has average speed and high-climbing capabilities. Its steering is very unbalanced, at high speed it can go from understeer to over steer in the blink of an eye due to its awful suspension. Crash deformation, however, is good compared to some of the other cars in the game.
The GTA IV rendition of the Willard is powered by a high-displacement V6, paired to a 4 speed gearbox, no longer in a FR layout, but rather in FF. The Willard possesses a top speed of 153mph, but suffers from horrible acceleration, especially uphills, and often taking a long time to even get close to top speed. The Willard has great handling, but tends to smoke its tires a lot while turning and during takeoff. Overall, the Willard can be thought of as a slower Hakumai, but stronger and more luxurious.
- According to the GTA San Andreas vehicle chart, the car may be named after the movie of the same name as "it squeaks and it's hard to get rid of".
- The Willard has a unique horn in GTA IV, which can also be heard at certain points of the city ambiance in the game.
- The Willard is one of the four cars in GTA IV referred to by name. In the mission It's Your Call, Roman Bellic says that the Albanian loan sharks he owes money to drive a "shitty beige Willard." The other three cars are Gracie Ancelotti's pink Feltzer, Jimmy's silver Blista Compact and the Romero used in Undertaker. All other vehicles are referred to by the type of vehicle they are (car, truck, SUV, etc.).
- The Willard is the only car to be made by the company of the same name, thus being known as the "Willard Willard".
- The Willard features the Door Ajar Chime, which can be heard in quiet areas with the driver's door open.
- The Willard plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Playback FM in GTA San Andreas.
- Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 or Tuff Gong Radio in GTA IV.
- The Willard in GTA IV has a minor texture glitch, where if the front windshield is damaged extensively, it suddenly turns white and lacks texture and a sheen. This glitch is also present in the Futo.
- Sometimes if you clean the Willard in the Car Wash the front doors may open when the car is cleaned.
- If the rear axle is damaged enough, the rear brakes may lock up when brakes are applied.
GTA San Andreas
- Usually found in Los Santos. You can also see them driven on the Los Santos-San Fierro freeway on the southern and western edges of Flint County and the western edge of Whetstone.
- Sometimes driven around Red County, specifically in Palomino Creek and Dillimore.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
The Willard in GTA IV is notably rare, knowing largely to the fact it does not spawn in traffic as frequently as other vehicles. If it does appear, however, the car can be found in the following areas:
- Around Meadow Hills, Dukes, the Hove Beach/Firefly Projects area of Broker, and Little Bay, Bohan.
- May occasionally spawn near the Broker safehouse when driving towards Firefly Island when doing the mission Bleed Out.
- In southern Alderney while driving a Schafter or a Cognoscenti.
- In the mission Pegorino's Pride, when you chase the Pavanos, two Willards will act as scripted traffic and block the road. to obtain it, kill one of the drivers, then kill Pegorino to fail the mission, then store the car in a parking space outside a safehouse.
- Spawns more frequently when the player is driving a Police Patrol.
- May spawn during Drug Delivery side missions.
- May spawn if already driving one.
- The car's frequency of appearance is more common in The Lost and Damned.
Notable owners
- Driven by Dardan Petrela, which features a unique beige color. Featuring during "It's Your Call" and "Bleed Out", it can only be obtained during the latter.
- A green Willard is driven by Derrick McReary.

An anonymous donor handed over a $75,000 check to the Salvation Army in Colorado Springs this week. The generous donation helped them recover from the $40,000 dollars they estimated they were short this season.
That money went a long way on Christmas day, helping to serve thousands of people in need, by providing them a hot meal.
Guests were served Christmas Dinner today in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, and Fountain Valley. The Salvation Army says even though they are grateful for the huge donation, they couldnt do it without everyone's help.
Captain Eric Wilkerson, a volunteer with the Salvation Army tells KKTV,
"It's not just the people who donate huge amounts of money. It's the people who give $50, $100, or $10. We are so grateful for all of you and we thank you for your support."
The Salvation Army is accepting donations to help cover the cost of this meal all though the holiday season.
If you would like to donate, please call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.

- "Gerry wants us to kidnap Old Man Ancelotti's daughter. Some fake tanned, dyed haired, guido loving slut by the name of Grace."
- ― Packie McReary
I'll Take Her is the first of four missions involving Gracie Ancelotti in Grand Theft Auto IV. After being sent to prison again Gerald McReary asks Niko Bellic to kidnap Gracie, and take her back to a safehouse.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
I'll Take Her...
- Go to a computer terminal.
- View an ad for a pink Feltzer.
...I'll Take Her
- Contact the Mob Daughter.
- Go and meet Gracie Ancelotti at her house.
- Test drive the car to the coast.
- Time to initiate the kidnapping. Take Gracie to the safehouse.
- You have spooked Gracie. Take her to the safehouse. (If you scared her)
- Lose your wanted level. (If you pass a police vehicle)
The player must drive to an TW@ Internet Café or a Safehouse with internet and view an ad by Gracie on Autoeroticar.com, who is selling her car. The player then calls Gracie using the phone, who will only answer between 8.00 and 21.00, and Gracie says to come and test drive the car, which is a pink Feltzer. The meeting place is in the center of Alderney. If the player doesn't call her straight away, it is possible to complete other missions in between.
When the mission is continued by calling Gracie and meeting her at her house, the player follows a GPS route on the test drive, but half way through, Niko turns around the car and reveals that he is kidnapping Gracie, and the GPS route changes, leading the player to a safehouse where Niko drops off Gracie into the hands of the McReary mob. On the way, Gracie tries to call her dad, but Niko grabs her phone and throws it on the road. Also, Gracie keeps grabbing the steering wheel, making it easy to crash or flip if the player is driving too fast. Once the player reaches Catskill Road en route to the safehouse, Niko knocks Gracie out with a swift punch to the head, allowing him to peacefully drive to the drop-off point.
Useful tip
- About every five seconds, Gracie will either take the wheel or try to climb out of the car, so slowly count to five before slowing the car down to keep it from flipping over. Also, try to stay away from the sides of the road. If Gracie steers you toward them, it is very easy to flip the car on its back.
- After Niko and Gracie get in the car, instead of following the GPS waypoint for the test drive, drive directly to the allyway that leads to the back entrance of the safehouse. You can set a GPS waypoint on the map section. It will save lots of time, and you won't have to deal with Gracie. Be careful while driving there, because if you damage the car two times you will have "spooked" her and she will try to take control of the car.
This mission continues as Ransom, and once again, it is possible to complete other missions in between.
Video Walkthrough
- The dialog in the beginning changes depending on whether you killed Francis or Derrick in the mission Blood Brothers.
- If Niko gets to the safehouse before he tells Gracie he's kidnapping her, he will still knock Gracie unconscious.
- If you damage the car once and try to fix it with a cheat code, it'll count as damaging the car, and thus Gracie will get spooked.
- If the player drives fast and doesn't damage the car, Gracie will compliment Niko's driving.
- If you pass a police vehicle Gracie will stand up and call for help, earning you a wanted level.
- Little Jacob calls during the mission asking if Niko wants to go to the strip club, to which Niko responds, "No can do Jacob, I'm already hanging out with a girl." The call serves no purpose other than as an ironic joke, similar to Little Jacob's other call in Have a Heart, Brucie's call in Undress to Kill and Dining Out and Roman's calls in Rigged to Blow and Shadow.
- This is one of two occasions in the game where Niko hits a woman without the players control, the other being Ransom, although in that Niko can just shoot her instead of hitting her.
- The guy who asked to dump the car named Stevie, but not sure is he related to the Stevie who provided the jobs of car theft.
- You can easily take Gracie's Feltzer after the mission because Stevie drives away slowly.
- An easier way to get Gracie's pink Feltzer is to aim/shoot at her when walking up to her. She will run away, and the car is now unlocked and ready.
- Despite the many methods to get Gracie's pink Feltzer, if you get out and kill her or park at your safehouse, the car will become locked, and when saved, will disappear from your safehouse parking spot.

A buddy of mine sent me some replays and since his (her?) forum account is broken, i'm positing these for qq9932079.
also, i can't save replays of my own because i don't have premium membership.
Replay #1:
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... dd3abc4aaf
Its a version of LP-destruction which focuses on punishing agressive low LP files. It hinges upon 3x shock trooper, 3x ignition, 3x Mizalio SS and enough damage to force cems and trigger SS.
Replay #2:
https://alteil-login.apocoplay.com/audi ... c4fc3c05b6
Its a version of the complete file destruction + cem retrieval combo. Its not the most efficient i've seen but its interesting and worth the watch.

Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ Program Mitigates over 107 Million Pounds of CO2 with Carbonfund.org Foundation
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ initiative is reducing college carbon footprints while educating students on the benefits of making sustainable choices in the laundry room. We applaud the company for looking at the impact on the environment as a corporate priority. By encouraging campuses to reduce the environmental impact of their properties and facilities, and offering them environmentally responsible solutions to accomplish this objective, Mac-Gray is serving an important role to help campuses further their efforts to promote on campus sustainability. Since the start of the partnership six years ago, we are proud to report that Mac-Gray has mitigated over 107 million pounds of CO2 through external carbon reduction projects chosen to meet the voluntary guidelines set forth by the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).
In 2012, Mac-Gray supported our exceptional project located in the "lungs of the Earth" - the Brazilian Amazon. In the world's largest rainforest, the PURUS REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project will protect over 85,000 acres from slash-and-burn forest clearing and prevent millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The Purus Project, the first ever REDD+ project in the State of Acre, to achieve dual-validation to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) with Gold Distinction, boasts many environmental and community benefits including: reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigation of climate change, conservation of habitat for endangered and threatened species, improvement for local water quality, retaining of top soil and control erosion, establishing alternative sources of income and employment opportunities, and social projects and programs such as building a new school and health clinic. It is a high standard, cutting edge project that proves beneficial for both planet and people.
Carbonfund.org Foundation is a proud partner of Mac-Gray's Lighten the Load program and we look forward to building on the great work that has been done over the past six years.
Robinson Smile Center Creates Beautiful Smiles to Last a Lifetime and is Committed to CarbonFree® Operations
Yes, even your dentist can make a difference in the fight against the negative effects of climate change. Green dentistry is "a high-tech approach that reduces the environmental impact of dental practices and encompasses a service model for dentistry that supports and maintains wellness." Green dentistry helps dental professionals protect the health of patients and the planet by implementing energy saving technologies that improve dental care efficiency and effectiveness, as well as improving the financial health of dental practices.
New CarbonFree® Business Partner Robinson Smile Center recognizes the opportunities to improve the sustainability of its dental practice, but also acknowledges the limitations.
"Dentistry is inherently wasteful due to the requirements for patient and employee safety. This makes it challenging but even more necessary to excel in other ways to be more environmentally conscious and active," explains Jason Luchtefeld, DMD. "Carbonfund.org allowed us an avenue to offset emissions from some of the areas that are not currently available for us to change any other way."
Robinson Smile Center offers general dentistry for the entire family and centers its practice on establishing patient relationships based on trust and respect. The practice utilizes energy efficient lighting throughout its offices. Next month, they will be installing a new DryVac system to reduce power and water consumption dramatically. The office maintains a strong recycling program for cardboard, plastic and paper, and uses recycled or biodegradable products when possible. These initiatives, along with CarbonFree® operations, place Robinson Smile Center in the forefront of green dentistry practices.
PLAYN.COM Launches at Boxpark in London on July 25th
PLAYN, Frames And Lenses Straight From The Makers, is launching with a popup store at Boxpark in
London on July 25th.
Based on a design principle "80% plain and 20% play", PLAYN offers easy-to-wear eyewear with a
dash of "je ne sais quoi". On PLAYN.COM, people can browse the collection of 21 original styles and
play with a wide range of colour and coating options. Once an order is placed, the company then
ships straight out of the lenses lab in Bangkok. This one-stop distribution process – "Factory > Lab >
Doorstep" – reduces cost and environmental impact, leaving PLAYN with a bigger budget to produce
quality, premium lenses.
PLAYN is the brainchild of German designer Denis Beyer and entrepreneur Jonas Koblin, two school
friends who moved to Bangkok in 2004 at the age of 24. They started from scratch, doing design work
for international fashion labels, running Niche Nation, a luxury eyewear boutique and a distribution
company We Do Asia. After working in the industry for several years, the pair decided to create their
own label with the mission to fuse their passion for quality and design with the principles of a modern
supply chain. This allows them to offer handcrafted eyewear and custom options at a new,
competitive price point.
To reduce its environmental impact, PLAYN partners with the Carbonfund.org Foundation to offset its
carbon footprint and the PATT Foundation, a local non-profit organization, to plant a tree for every pair

May 6, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton says President Barack Obama should find a way to let people keep their health coverage, even if it means changing the new insurance law.
Clinton says Obama should "honor the commitment that the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got."
Obama has come under pressure in recent weeks as millions of Americans started receiving insurance cancellation letters. The president had repeatedly said people would not be forced to change their insurance under the new law.
The White House says it is working on changes that would ease the impact of the cancellations for some people. But the fixes under consideration are administrative actions, not congressional changes to the law.
Clinton spoke in an interview with the website www.OZY.com, posted Tuesday.
