I've been wanting to go to Japan for a while now, its just that I haven't gotten any of my friends to really commit to going. So about 6 months ago, I decided that I was going to go by myself. After thinking about it, it really is the best way to visit Japan for the first time. I can allow myself to be totally immersed without having someone from my country bring me back to 'feeling American' every 5 minutes. I am really glad that I have this opportunity to visit this great country. I've been here 5 days now, and I almost feel like I live here.
To share my experiences, I've documented everything possible (mostly food) so future prospective-visitors can learn from my time here.

- Abstract
- Australia's universities have developed a highly successful export industry that generates essential revenue for our universities as well as the economy. It is an industry built around international students. Many of these students seek permanent residency in Australia. Many more would opt to study here if they had reason to believe migration would be an option on graduation. We know Australia is facing a serious skills shortage. An enhanced migration program is one solution to this critical problem that the federal Government is investigating.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This unidentified spell was a Transforming spell that transfigured a fiery rope into a snake.
History of use
Voldemort first used this spell against Dumbledore, who tried to entrap him with a ring of fire, during the duel in the Ministry Atrium . Severus Snape later used it in self-defence to transfigure Minerva McGonagall's fiery lasso into a serpent.
Behind the scenes
- This spell is probably related to the Snake Summons Spell.
- Interestingly, the only times this spell was known to have been used were both in the self-defence of powerful dark wizards, against the charm Fire rope cast by professors of Transfiguration who later went on to become heads of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (which is coincidentally ironic in both cases too, since the efforts of transfiguration professors would have therefore been thwarted by magic they specialise in).
- It is likely that this spell works against any column of fire, so it would probably work against spells like Stream of Flames and maybe even Firestorm too.
- Interestingly, this is the only fire-based magic that is not also a charm.
- It is shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, that it works on Fiendfyre. But in the film Voldemort used the two spells at the same time.
- This spell could change fire fully snakes

Earlier this year I came up with a simple framework for starting sales conversations, which we've used successfully as part of our target account prospecting initiatives. I thought I'd share and as always, comments and refinements are appreciated.
3 R's for Starting Sales Conversations
1) Relationship (You know someone)
- They can book a meeting or make an intro for you
- You can name drop, use the relationship to get the attention of the person you want to get to
2) Recency (Recent Activity/Interaction)
-You met them (or someone from their org) at a tradeshow/event, or they were at least there
3) Relevance (Real Intelligence)
- You know they have a project
- There was recently something relevant in news that can be referenced
- There is something relevant in their LinkedIn profile that can be referenced

Comments On Sep 03, 2015:Fit is great and they have no problem staying in place. A little bit bulky compared to the web pro. However, at the price they're at they do not disappoint. I suggest the EVS leg skins for under the brace. Helps you stay cool and no rubbing.

Comments On Mar 31, 2015:... for female racers. According to their size chart I measured exactly into a size medium, but the lowest strap wont even come close to velcroing. I'm not sure if its because I'm short or because females have elongated calf muscles. I always wear the EVS socks with them, sometimes I feel like it slips a lot if I don't get my boots on right away because the lower strap wont strap up right. Still love feeling like I'm protected, I am certain they have saved me more than once.

Comments On Nov 23, 2014:I've been wearing the EVS Web braces for over 10 years now. I won't get on the bike without them. Some times I even forget I'm wearing them. Now I am on my second set of braces after bending the hinges and breaking the carbon fiber, even through I've broken ribs, back, pelvis and collapsed a lung I've never hurt my knees. Paul

Comments On Apr 07, 2008:I bought these knee braces after i broke my right knee. I had them for 2 races and I crashed, and the hinges tweaked, and the carbon fiber cracked!i didn't even fall that hard. But i cannot imagine what would have happend without them.

Comments On Jan 27, 2008:while the quality of the brace itself is top notch..the plastic pieces for the straps are weak ive had to replace all of them in less than a year

Comments On Oct 24, 2007:I know they have saved my knee once. It took me about ten serious rides to get used to them, now I feel unprotected without them. Much cheaper than surgery.

Patrick is disappointed, even more so when he sees the contents of SpongeBob's special award closet. SpongeBob tries to help him find a way to win an award, and eventually Patrick decides to get a job at the Krusty Krab.
First Patrick had to delivery the food to the customer, however he keeps eating eat, also when Spongebob gives him an explanation on how to do it right. Then he starts answering the phone, but ends up getting really angry when he thought everyone was calling him the Krusty Krab, then Spongebob tolds him that's the name of the restaurant leaving Patrick ashamed. He next task was to sweep the floor near table 3. Patrick states he can't do anything right, but Spongebob told him he'll do fine. Unfortunately he sweeps the floor with the top part of the broom. Suddenly a delivery man comes in saying he got a load of award for Spongebob Squarepants. Patrick was so angry he hits the floor with the broom making dust fly everywhere making everyone cough. Spongebob pushes Patrick in the kitchen.is SpongeBob presents him with the extremely basic task of opening a jar. But Patrick takes out the wrong thing, puts the jar In his mouth,and placing his hand wrong. Spongebob tells him to do it exactly as he does which gave Patrick in idea. He opens the jar thinking that he broke it. Eventually, Spongebob shouted out that Patrick succeeded in opening the jar, and he and SpongeBob begin celebrating. The next day, Patrick started copying Spongebob at work in hope of achieving the same success as his friend. When SpongeBob realizes this, he attempts to make him stop, but is unsuccessful until he dresses up as Patrick, which makes Patrick realize the error of his ways, and that he is a loser in every sense of the word. However, Patrick is then suddenly given an award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else." He then goes back under his rock to "protect (his) title."

- "Big Pink Loser" was ranked #13 during the Best Day Ever event on November 9–10, 2006.
- This episode was voted by fans as the best episode of Season 2.
- In the scene where Patrick opens the jar, SpongeBob is telling him if he is hot or cold when he is trying to get his hand to the top of the jar. When he says "Cold", the captions say "Hold".
- This is the second time a phone appears at the cash register in the Krusty Krab. The first time was in Pizza Delivery, and the third time will be in Graveyard Shift.
- The title card is similar to The Algae's Always Greener.
- In some versions, at the beginning of the episode, the sound of the parcel being shoved into Patrick's mouth is heard before the mailman actually shoves it into his mouth.
- The subtitles for this episode are incorrect at times, such as "And make sure the food gets to the customer" being shown as "and be sure the tray gets to the customer.", and when SpongeBob says to Patrick "No, you have to bring the tray to the customer.", the subtitles say "custom".
- There is a CD storybook based on this episode named "And The Winner Is..."
- This is the second time the Krusty Krab appears without Mr. Krabs. The first being in the episode SB-129.
- Though this is a season two episode, Patrick has his 3's eyebrows from the first season, instead of his new and recognizable Z's eyebrows.
- The scene where SpongeBob helps Patrick open the jar was used on Nicktoons as a "Rockin' Nicktoon Moment".
- This is the only episode to have Hawaiian Sting 5 as the title card music.
- The song SpongeBob and Patrick were whistling while frying Krabby Patties was "Row, Row, Row your Boat."
- This is the second time Patrick got a job at the Krusty Krab and later was fired or quit. The first was in Arrgh (though, it was only for about five seconds); the third was in Bummer Vacation when he took over while SpongeBob was on "vacation"; the fourth time in That's No Lady when Patrick disguises himself as a woman, and the fifth was Chum Bucket Supreme, in which Patrick made a slogan (Krabby Patties are fum) for the Krusty Krab in the end.
- This is the first time Patrick mimics SpongeBob. The second is Patrick SmartPants, the third is The Card and the fourth is Porous Pockets but he just mimicked SpongeBob's lip moving.
- The title card music was abusively low-pitched in the original airing.
- When Patrick throws the broom on the ground in the kitchen, it disappears after he opens the jar.
- When Patrick copies SpongeBob in the kitchen, they "drop" their spatulas. Afterwards, SpongeBob and Patrick point to each other, but the spatulas are nowhere to be seen.
- When SpongeBob says "No, no Patrick! That's my--" For a split second, you can see he has no buck teeth. It appears afterwards.
- When Patrick goes to Jellyfish Fields to show the jellyfish his award, he gets shocked. While he's being shocked there is a visible pink star at the upper right corner of the screen.
- When Patrick jumps out of the water to show his award to the island, he begins suffocating. However, in the episode "Pressure", and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Patrick was not suffocating.
- When SpongeBob's nose pops back out when he is pretending to be Patrick, his buck teeth aren't shown when he is frowning. However, in the next scene, he still has the same frown and his teeth are now visible.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick enter the kitchen so Patrick can open a jar, a small table is seen to the left of the stove, when there is usually nothing there.

A lot has changed since SpeedGrade became part of the Adobe CC family. Innovations like the Direct Link workflow with Premiere Pro, introduced at IBC 2013, have transformed the color workflow and changed the way editors and colorists collaborate to deliver unique looks and consistent color correction. With the next major update we're introducing a number of great new features that refine the Direct Link experience. Additionally, we're introducing new broadcast-standard scopes, answering to the fast-growing community of SpeedGrade users in broadcast and corporate production (see what's new in this SpeedGrade overview video).
Improved Direct Link experience
Full control over all tracks in your sequence
While we remain adamant about never changing an edit in while you are in SpeedGrade, a couple of items stood out in the user feedback we collected in the last six months. It was clear that turning adjustment layers on and off in SpeedGrade is crucial to a fast and efficient workflow between Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade. In the new release, you can do that by clicking the eye icon in front of each track. In fact, you can show or hid any type of track this way. That will be handy when titling is already integrated with your sequence, but you wanted to focus on the footage instead. It will also be helpful when multiple video tracks are present but you only wanted to see one at a time.

Summer and farm-fresh produce are in full force. Don't settle for the same old greens topped with a blob of dressing. I offer the following salad ideas to inspire you to build a better salad. The amounts listed will help you limit portion sizes and control calories
Here are a few salad ideas to get you started:
What are some of your favorite salad combinations?

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
I just had my gallbladder removed a week ago. I can't find a list of vegetables that are Ok to eat? Are pickles Ok?
buy "green bags" for storage of greens your greens will last twice as long-throwing out greens is my pet peeve
Mixed greens of any sort; add to it cubes of avocado (I usually use 1/4 medium per person); any other vegies sitting around fridge: cukes, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, radishes, onions, etc; 1/4 c beans of any sort; home made buttermilk ranch dressing.
Chop a cucumber, celery as desired and salad tomatoes to size and quantity desired. Add non or low-fat Italian dressing. Fast and tasty.
Roasted sweet potatoes (one inch cubes) black beans, sliced celery, red onion rings, arugula, all in a dressing made of olive oil, red wine vinegar and orange juice.
Baby arugula , raspberries,blueberries, blackberries, sprinkle with feta cheese and add a serving of Bolthouse raspberry merlot extra virgin olive oil vinaigrette(all natural and no preservatives/low calorie/low sodium)7
Love the combinations. Our daily house salad consists of field greens, grape or cherry tomatoes, tricolor peppers, shredded carrots, cubed English cucumber, sliced avocado, raisins and something crunchy like unsalted pine nuts or a couple of almonds or walnuts OR rinsed, canned red kidney beans or chick peas.
One of my favorites is: 1 inch round cut off Romaine head...top with wedges of fresh tomato (sm.-med)and 1/2 of fresh avacado diced, top with crumbled feta, then Hendrickson's sweet vinegar & olive oil...A very refreshing and healthy salad...makes a great meal with perhaps just a small portion of salmon or steak
Dark or mixed greens, strawberries or raspberries, pecans, red onion, feta cheese, low-fat raspberry vinaigrette OR olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add grilled chicken for more protein.
Buy from your Local Farmers Markets to reduce the risk of buying GMO/Monsanto foods.. :)
Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, low fat feta cheese, green apple, boiled breast of chicken, glazed almond slivers, dried cranberries red or sweet onion with Marzetti Simply Dressed all natural vinaigrette Pomegranat dressing made with extra virgin olive oil, The best could eat it every night.
I like the taste of beets and oranges together. I roast some beets, skin them and when cool cut the beets and put on top of mixed greens. I peel and cut the orange in sections, add it, some fresh ground pepper, a dash of olive oil, lime juice and a sprinkling of some crushed nuts. Delish!
I love salads but sometimes get tired of all the cutting and chopping. Here is salad I make a lot:
Any type of dark green lettuce - prepared mix or torn leaves
Grape tomatoes
Blue cheese crumbles
Sprinkling of honey or toffee flavored Almond Accents
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste.
(The Almond Accents mixed with the blue cheese make for a nice tasting contrast.)

"Oh what would we do, what would we do if there were no trees?"
The question comes from a children's song about tree preservation, something kindergarten students at Harmony Elementary know all about.
They had a special Arbor Day program to celebrate trees and the environment last week.
Arbor Day is a national celebration that encourages tree planting and care, and will take place April 29.
In Oldham County, the conservation district promotes Arbor Day by handing out trees to schools and the community.

Modern medicine has improved so much in recent years that an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury these days isn't career-ending for an athlete, but rather a temporary setback. Historically, "People were really stiff coming out of surgery," notes orthopedic surgeon Dr. Joel Boyd. "Then the surgical knee was immobilized in a cast, and then began rehab. It would take people a year to come back."
Boyd, the team physician for the Minnesota Vikings, Wild and Lynx, points out that "accelerated rehab" now is the norm rather than the exception for most athletes. Nonetheless, the doctor says that there's no substitute for hard work during rehabilitation if the person really wants to get back to action. Continue Reading →

This ability allows Karin to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometres.[2][3] This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye, though Karin has it active often. The ability extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including herself, is under a genjutsu.[4][5] Also by focusing on a particular chakra, Karin can perceive its location and movement with great detail.
- The name comes from the word Kagura (神楽, divine entertainment), which is a type of Japanese theatrical dance, considered by some to have been developed by the goddess Ame-no-Uzume. Its roots lie in certain kinds of divination and pacification of the spirits.
- Karin uses this technique as her ultimate jutsu in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3, in which she throws a smoke bomb that engulfs both her and her opponent in a pitch-black cloud where neither one of them can see. She then locates her opponent with this technique and throws a kunai with a string of explosive tags attached to it, defeating her opponent in the explosion. When Karin uses this on Sasuke, her demeanour changes and after the explosion she swoons over him.

So let's assume you are here because your husband, wife, or significant other doesn't want to do IT, and you want to have more of IT. I want to recommend a book for you to read that will get you both in the mood to do IT more often. Ready? No, it isn't 50 Shades of Grey but that has been known to work. I'm talking about a book called, The Five Love Languages.
I have written about the The Five Love Languages many times, but people still don't want to take the time to read it so that they can get more of IT. They just don't GET IT. So let me sum up the book by saying this...if you aren't conveying love to your significant other then you won't get IT nearly as often as you would if they feel loved. Yes, believe it or not ladies men want to feel loved too. They won't admit that so I am doing it for them so that you can get more of IT from them. And guys, if your wife isn't feeling loved then you can forget IT. So this is just a brief blog to tell you to quit arguing or focusing on what doesn't matter in life and get to IT. Begin focusing on making your significant other feel like he or she is the center of your universe. If you will do that then you will be amazed at what will happen, and I promise that you will thank me for it!

|シャバダバ Shabadaba
|Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Shabadaba (シャバダバ, Shabadaba) was a former friend and minister to Kakeru Tsuki, king of the Land of the Moon.
Unlike the king's noble visions, Shabadaba only desired wealth and power. After hearing that Kakeru was planning to use the country's wealth to assist the poor, as well as decreasing taxes, Shabadaba betrays his friend and hires Ishidate, Kongō, and Karenbana, to assassinate Kakeru and his bloodline Michiru and Hikaru so that Shabadaba can inherit the title of "king".
Shabadaba is a very greedy individual. Unlike his friend Kakeru, he is self-centred and cruel, and only cares about money. Shabadaba believes that everything revolves around money, and is willing to betray and murder his friend to gain it. He claims to Michiru that he wishes to become a king so he can eat all the delicious food he can to gain a fat body like the prince, in his desire to live richly and luxuriously. Given the fact that he is willing to commit treasonous acts for his own desire, Shabadaba holds no true regards to friendship or loyalty.
Aside from his greed, disloyalty and cruelty, Shabadaba is also a sadist, as when Michiru was captured, instead of killing him outright, Shabadaba devised a method to watch Michiru struggle before dying, in order to entertain himself to prevent the execution from being boring. He can also enter a violent temper when things do not go as he wishes to, as he threw a tantrum when his guards failed to capture Michiru and Hikaru, when reliving the moments of Kakeru's desire to spend the kingdom's wealth for the poor, and when Ishidate refuses to listen to his orders any more. All this led to his downfall, as by prolonging Michiru's death allowed Team 7 to rescue the captive king, and by arguing against a deranged Ishidate led to his death.
Shabadaba is a short, portly man with short brown hair that juts out on the sides (giving the slight resemblance to horns), sideburns, and a thick moustache. He wore regal purple robes over a white one, with a gold collar-like necklace, and a pink sash over his left shoulder. His fingers are adorned with gold rings with jewels and his ears had earrings.
Plot Overview
When Michiru was captured, he arranged for Michiru to be hanged. His forces came into conflict between Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Rock Lee, Kakashi Hatake, the rebels, and the circus performers. An enraged Ishidate plans on killing Naruto and Hikaru. Shabadaba tries to remind Ishidate of his mission to kill Michiru, resulting in Ishidate unknowingly grabbing Shabadaba's collar with his petrification gauntlet (which was activated at the time) turning him into stone. As Naruto defeats Ishidate, the force of his attack propels the ninja into Shabadaba, shattering him.
- Out of the three first movies' villain masterminds, Shabadaba is the only one who had no ninjutsu or fighting abilities whatsoever: Dotō Kazahana had Ice Release ninjutsu, while Haido used the power of the Stone of Gelel. Also, he is the only one who wasn't killed by Naruto intentionally, since the Rasengan was meant for Ishidate personally. Also, out of the three mastermind villains, he is the only one who Naruto has no dialogue or even interaction with.

The lightpod i bought was the coolest thing i have ever bought. I rigged it up to my dirt bike so it shines underneath like a glow-light. When I ride at night, these help me to see better because I don't have a headlight. I would give this lightpod a 5 star rating because they are dope as heck and are cool to see when I ride in the night. All of my biddies who have dirt bikes want them too, but don't know how to rig them up. Once again I would just like to say these things are amazing to ride with and to see, so for me it's a 5 star rating.Read All Reviews

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is an international public health agency with over 100 years of experience working to improve health and living standards of the people of the Americas. It enjoys international recognition as part of the United Nations system, serving as the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization, and as the health organization of the Inter-American System.
PAHO is based in Washington, D.C., and has scientific and technical experts at its headquarters, in its 27 country offices, and its nine scientific centers, all working with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean in dealing with priority health issues. The health authorities of PAHO's Member States set PAHO's technical and administrative policies through its Governing Bodies. PAHO Member States include all 35 countries in the Americas; Puerto Rico is an Associate Member. France, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are Participating States, and Portugal and Spain are Observer States.
The Organization's essential mission is to strengthen national and local health systems and improve the health of the peoples of the Americas, in collaboration with Ministries of Health, other government and international agencies, nongovernmental organizations, universities, social security agencies, community groups, and many others.
PAHO promotes primary health care strategies, which reach people in their communities, to extend health services to all and to increase efficiency in the use of scarce resources. It assists countries in fighting old diseases that have re-emerged, such as cholera, dengue and tuberculosis, and new diseases such as the spreading AIDS epidemic, providing technical cooperation including education and social communications support, promoting work with non-governmental organizations, and support for programs to prevent transmission of communicable diseases. The Organization is also involved in prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer, which are increasingly affecting the populations of developing countries in the Americas.
In its efforts to improve health, PAHO targets the most vulnerable groups including mothers and children, workers, the poor, the elderly, and refugees and displaced persons. It focuses on issues related to equity for those who lack access to health, and on a Panamerican approach encouraging countries to work together on common issues.
PAHO and its Member Countries are committed to improving the safety of blood in the Americas, launching a blood safety initiative designed to ensure that all blood for transfusion is free of disease and to increase the number of volunteer blood donors.
A major priority for the Americas is cutting infant mortality, and PAHO is mobilizing new political, institutional and financial resources to prevent an additional 25,000 infant deaths every year through application of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness strategy, a simple and practical approach in which primary health care workers are taught a complete process to evaluate the health status of children brought to a health post or clinic. They learn to recognize signs of disease and evaluate and treat them. They learn to give parents information on how to prevent disease in the home. If they see danger signs indicating the infant could die, they are taught to treat the child immediately or take him or her to a hospital.
Its Governing Bodies have mandated PAHO to move aggressively in the fight to reduce the use of tobacco, emphasizing the health aspects and the high cost to the countries of tobacco use. It also continues to emphasize the approach of health promotion as applied to people and not an abstract construct.
Improvement of drinking water supplies, adequate sanitation, and increased access to health care for the poor are still top priorities for PAHO, with a focus on equity. The Organization is intensifying its efforts to have countries know the true state of health of their populations and where the inequalities lie. Program efforts focus on correcting inequality, taking into account decentralization and change of state functions, on showing that health has a role to play in the success of other sectors, and on how attention to health affects positively other aspects of human development. Advocacy in this area is also directed to reducing pernicious gender inequity, which reflects in some health problems of women.
The Pan American approach is a part of PAHO history and the spirit of Panamericanism continues to stimulate technical cooperation among countries in health. PAHO has helped countries work together toward common goals, and to initiate multi-country health ventures in Central America, the Caribbean, the Andean Region, and the Southern Cone. Experience has shown practical benefits such as the solidarity that helped Central America after hurricane Mitch, and there are numerous other examples. Health collaboration found expression at the highest political level when American heads of state in their Summit in Santiago accepted a health initiative called "Health Technology Linking the Americas."
The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean joined together over 20 years ago to buy vaccines through a revolving fund, bringing them tangible benefits and helping advance PAHO's efforts to eliminate or control vaccine-preventable diseases. These are among the Organization's most notable successes, starting with the eradication of smallpox from the Americas in 1973; a triumph followed five years later by global eradication of the dreaded disease.
A major effort committing the Americas to embark on polio eradication in 1985 succeeded in September 1994, when a distinguished International Commission declared the Americas officially polio-free. The last case of polio in the Americas was identified August 23, 1991 in a young boy named Luis Fermín Tenorio Cortez, in Junín, Peru. Since then, despite intensive surveillance, no cases of polio have been detected anywhere in the Americas, and the World Health Organization is now working toward the goal of eradicating polio globally. PAHO assists the countries in mobilizing the necessary resources to provide immunization and treatment services for all vaccine-preventable diseases. PAHO is close to accomplishing the goal of eliminating measles from this hemisphere and is pressing on with the introduction of new vaccines that are currently available, such as Haemophilus influenza B. to reduce meningitis and respiratory infections. PAHO works to reduce the toll of death and illness from diarrheal diseases, including cholera, through case management and oral rehydration therapy to prevent deaths from dehydration, and to provide adequate diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory infections, thus saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year.
PAHO disseminates scientific and technical information through its publications program, its Internet site, and a network of academic libraries, documentation centers, and local health care libraries.
The Organization provides technical collaboration in a variety of specialized public health fields, and organizes emergency preparedness and disaster relief coordination. It supports efforts to control malaria, Chagas' disease, urban rabies, leprosy, and other diseases that affect the people of the Americas. PAHO collaborates with governments, other agencies, and private groups to address major nutritional problems including protein-energy malnutrition, and is now working to eliminate iodine and vitamin A deficiencies.
It expedites health promotion to help countries deal with health problems typical of development and urbanization, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, accidents, smoking, addiction to drugs and alcohol, and others.
The Organization also executes projects for other United Nations agencies, for international organizations such as the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, for official development cooperation agencies of various governments, and for philanthropic foundations.
PAHO strengthens the health sector capacity in the countries to advance their priority programs through intersectoral action, promoting an integral approach to health problems. It also works to improve women's health, promoting the greater integration of women in society, as well as awareness of their importance as both recipients and providers of health services.
PAHO trains health workers at all levels, through fellowships, courses and seminars, and the strengthening of national training institutions. It leads in the use of advanced communications technologies for information, health promotion, and education, working with journalists in many countries.
The Organization recognizes the role of the private sector in the delivery of services, and fosters dialogue and partnerships with the Ministries of Health. In addition to its core budget financed by quota contributions from its Member Governments, PAHO also seeks outside funding to help implement special programs and initiatives in response to vital health needs. Voluntary tax-deductible contributions for PAHO health and education projects in the Americas may be made to the Pan American Health Organization and Education Foundation (PAHEF).
Dr. Mirta Roses Periago of Argentina became the new Director of the Pan American Health Organization on January 31, 2003. Dr. Roses, who was elected to a five-year term by the Ministers of Health of the Americas at the Pan American Sanitary Conference September 25, 2002, is the fourth Latin American and the first woman to lead the world's oldest international health agency.
PAHO�s Deputy Director is Dr. Cristina Beato, formerly of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Assistant Director is Dr. Socorro Gross-Galiano. Another member of PAHO�s Executive Management team is Michael Boorstein, Director of Administration.

No change as at 5 March. So, is this story a spoof?
Flickr poised for much-needed interface improvements
Venerable photo-sharing site Flickr is reported to be on the verge of its most drastic redesign in many years. The New York Observer's tech blog, BetaBeat interviewed Flickr's 'Head of Product' Markus Spiering, during which he demoed a remarkably Google+-like gallery interface. He also appeared to rubbish the site's clean but rather dated 'small photos, lots of white space and information' appearance. Yahoo says the improved gallery view will apply to the 'From your Contacts' page from the February 28th, with the uploader coming in March.
The redesign is bound to cause anger to long-time users (because redesigns tend to mean changing long-established ways of working), but is probably necessary if Flickr is to increase its appeal in an era when there are so many popular places that let you easily share images.

Haven't seen anything yet. I am expecting big things!!
I don't see anything different so far?
Threat the whole "Orb" issue as an artistic feature.
The camera will become a cult and in the future others will try to imitate this effect to have an "x10orb feel"
Sort of like heavy vignetting in Instagram and the like.
So grab the piece of photo history while you can ;)
All I can say is that looking at their gallery pictures using the iPad is way more easy than looking at the Dpreview gallery !
I'd like to see them compete with Zenfolio, PBase and Smugmug, with a few different pricing options and product options, and especially to be very competitive on price to keep costs low, increase revenues, attract more customers, and encourage existing users on free accounts to expand for the benefits the paid account would then offer. At the moment I think Flickr falls short of where they should be aiming to be.
Looking forward to seeing what they come up with! Basic layout/viewing could certainly use some updates. And it needs more interactive/community feel.
But the part that most needs overhauling is Flickr's organizational tools. Tagging, organizing, geotagging, etc., are a clunky mix of different interfaces.
I like PBase myself. I've had them since 2004 & they haven't changed--and frankly, I LIKE that.
One of the things I like--you can view ALL of the thumbnails at once. ALL of them. Even if that means loading 459 thumbnails images, you can do that. I hate having to do the "hit next, wait--hit next, wait--hit next, wait" nonsense. Let me have the option to load the WHOLE thing at once & then just scroll. PBase gives you this.
exactly. i thought that Flickr has evolved into a modern image-hosting site. but i realised PBase is still much better in many ways with no ads.
Hey look, it's another facebook tumblr.
Whether it will be for the good or bad, flickr does need improvements and further development. Be it the stats (which are too primitive right now) or the ability to work on tags or descriptions on several images at once when these are already uploaded.
I would also like to see more graphically pleasing and less distracting design. After all - one of the main points is to be able to view photos in a effective and pleasing way.
Flickr offer the option to have a photo sharing- exposing tool for free. I'm not a professional, so, for now flickr works for me and I appreciate that.
Yahoo is very slow, today I logged into my 500px account and I was surprised to see a beautiful interface and upgraded site. I think yahoo's policies of flickr of such slow upgrades are going to kill it.
Always avoided Flickr. Just can't stand its white background with distracting blue and red elements sprinkled around. Most images don't look their best against white and the whole thing has an amateurish feel to it, maybe good for social aspect but definitely not for photo presentation.
Then there's this endless amorphous Photostream which kinda seems to be designed to stress this attention deficit syndrome nature of social media - what was yesterday is totally forgotten and overshadowed by what's today (or 1 hour ago). Maybe it's how it should be in twitter culture.
A word of warning!
Picasa did much the same back in Dec. and it was a disaster for a lot of folks. It scrambled their Picasa databases beyond repair and would continue in a loop that kept updating files and changing them. It did it to mine.
most annoying for me is that after deleting a photo in Photostream I am taken to my latest page rather than staying on the page from which I deleted the image.
And for the dutch marked, no one is mentioning pictureplaza.nl
Glad to read that many here have the same issues with Flickr that I've had: too many clicks, poorly implemented category/organization functions on people's gallery home pages, terrible multiple image size and viewing options, and generally poor photo viewing experience.
Frankly I've felt a little crazy at times with so many people seeming to be in love with Flickr, and I just can't stand it. So it's good to see I'm not alone. I for one am very much looking forward to the redesign.
Regarding alternatives, I am rather surprised to see no one mention SmugMug. I will grant that its social features are far behind Flickr, which is unfortunate. But otherwise Smugmug is a helluvalot more customizable and has *much* better presentation of photos. Auto-sizing photos to the user's screen? What a novel concept. Flickr could learn a few things. Let's hope they already have...
I suppose the Flickr hang-ons like FlickRiver will still be there for those who dislike the new layout...
I hope they keep it simple. Forgetting the KISS rule is the most common mistake websites make when trying to improve.
For me, the one change I'd like to see is to allow me to choose all photos shown on the first page of my photostream. Last first is not often what I want to show.
Excellent point! I quite agree!
This would be VERY nice, indeed.
You CAN actually control what's in your frontpage of your photostream!
Though it's not straightforward, but just try to change the upload date of any of your (older) photo to the current time and voila, it's immediately on your front page!
it's that easy
No doubt Flickr is the least bad of these photo-sharing sites.
I prefer pbase myself. It's simpler, less commercial and looks better, imo.
It has a few quirks and an interface design overhaul sounds like a good idea. But overall I like it and has been a good site for me so far to a) share images with friends and family and b) search for images and groups to check out samples of cameras, lenses, etc. And often you stumble upon really nice and inspirational work.
For everything else I have zenfolio.
As a recent arrival in the online photo sharing world, I have been pretty amazed at the deficits on flickr and all the other sites I've looked at, and I'm very disappointed not to see any comments here pointing to the "best" or "clearly better" share site. Guess it's not just my imagination that all are appallingly badly designed?
With flickr, it starts with what is to me the bizarre standard interface that throws all your photos together into one giant bucket. I spend all my time carefully arranging them into sets, but every time I go to the site I see the giant bucket and have to search around for the sets. I can't even begin to guess why the giant bucket would be default rather than itself be the hard to find option?
Did you know you can change the layout of your home page?
I'll have to research that, but to be honest, I find it remarkably painful to research and implement flickr functionality, it's a pretty user hostile site.
I'm a complete puter numpty. It took me 5 minutes to set up 'sets', and sort images into 'em. Never used Collections feature, sets work fine.
You CAN change the display order to, I believe, those with most hits, or likes, etc.
Or just use a pre written Big Huge Labs script to create a new Your Favourites set???
Afraid I don't really see any significant ability to change the layout of the home page. You can move around how many large vs small images you see, but I see no "customize homepage" option at all, neither does google.
I have avoided flickr like the plague. My reasons are the same as many others have commented. Too much white background space, small thumbnails and the need to click extra times just to see a set... I've been using PBase but I miss the social and search functionalities that flickr has. I look forward to seeing the updated site.
It was about time that Flickr improved their interface. It's a terrible interface and I use flickr only to publish the newest images and I keep the most appreciates ones. The rest I swap for some new ones.
I hope they will also be aware of the costs in comparison to other photosites. There was a moment I had published around 500 images on Windows Live Skydrive without any costs and Flickr linits is to 200?
Besides that Flickr is treating the images very badly. The enlargement of the images in the slideshow mode makes the images unsharp, so that I only use the lightbox to watch my images.
On Skydrive the enlargement doesn't have that effect and images are much sharper displayed, while uploaded at about the same resolution.
Not that Skydrive is the answer on all the fuss, far from it. It lacks in photo and album management as well, but imo the picture quality is OK.
When is dpreview coming out with it's own paid gallery account? It was 'coming soon' at least a year ago.
I agree with others that said they avoid flickr. The interface really is terrible...and when people link to flickr, 9 times out of 10 i just dont bother clicking. Its actually amazing that they have gone this long with out major upgrades to the ol dinosaur.
They should involve the community more, do some live testing and get feedback from the community so they can turn it into what the people want.
1) Would like to easily adjust the sequence of pix in my photostream.
2) Need replacement for Picnik as an in-flickr image editor.
3) Would like an easy way to see if my pix make it into Explore - currently I only find out from those who comment or I have to go outside flickr (to Scout). Maybe this feature exists but I missed the memo?
4) When I download my pix from flickr the file name is some random alphanumeric instead of the name I gave them - minor annoyance.
Well, I use Flikr quite a lot both for my work as for my own private photography. The problem what I feel with Flikr is that they want to be AND and photo sharing site, AND a photography blog, AND a facebook community clone.
Flikr itself is great value for money and it's a treasure by means of collection they have by their users.So I think the service itself (that of storing photo's) is very good. I just wished they gave you room to store in other formats than JPEG as well, I wouldn't mind to pay more if I can store my RAW files as well.
I quite like the flickr interface.
I may be missing something and if so I apologise but PLEEEEASE can I BROWSE search results? You do a search, click on one of the results for a closer look and then you have to click the back button and click on the next result and so on, if I want to look at photos of a specific subject I want to sift through the photos as if I am browsing a photo stream or set, I don't want to have to keep going backwards and forwards for each result!
Also can we select multiple groups at one time to send photos to? I love to share with groups but sometimes you have about 8 different groups that your photo is suitable for and you have to drag and drop the photo over each one and then WAIT for a confirmation, if it just put things in a queue and didn't make you click ok after each submission it would help!
There is a Greasemonkey script called "Multi Group Sender". I think you need to use Firefox in order to run it. It is done nicely and works very well.
Click "Slideshow" when you have the results up and you can browse back and forth, looking at each photo.
OK, I'm lost here. I have added one photo to well over 20 groups, in a single hit? Just pull down a Groups Menu, tick the ones you want, click ADD, and it's done????
I always steer well clear of flickr, even to go and look at someone else's pictures. It's just so dismal and depressing, apparently designed to distract attention away from the overly small pictures, annoy you with a zillion conflicting options, ads and comments, all in a layout that looks like 'my first wordpress'. Picasa is marginally better, and even the now defunct mobileme makes a better job of the simple task of displaying images. I could never face putting my own pics on flickr as I'd never want to inflict their revolting interface on anyone that wanted to see my pics.
On the upside, pretty much anything would be an improvement so hopefully they can't go far wrong.
I hope they make groups better. For Paris city, where i live, there is tons of groups of course with same photos in it. If only there is a means to group the groups.
Not needing 5 clicks to do the simplest thing would be a start. But customisation should be the goal, not imposing another designer led, fixed concept on people, but letting them choose.
Oh boy. If flickr becomes anything like Google Plus I'll probably have to find a new place for sharing photos... I hope the photostream is not going away.
Would be nice to have more flexibility in presenting your best shots as a sort of portfolio with either white or black background, e.g., as a slideshow. Zenfolio does this quite well, although I don't like the way they display sets and collections.
Flickr's interface is garbage, including linking numbers of pictures being a joke.
I'd love to see an improvement, which might even make me finally buy a membership.
I can't agree. There is always room for improvement but the Flickr interface is very functional. Other similar sites make it more difficult to browse by groups, tags etc
Flickr is №1 photo sharing service! I love Flickr with its simple and clear interface. I will be happy if it will be better, but I hope they won''t spoil it!
Flickr has been good to me, but an interface revamp is definitely needed.
BLACK, for god sake let me have a BLACK BACKGROUND $@&@#$!!! How hard is it, seriously.
I agree totally. A bit more customization of our Photostreams would be simple to do and extremely welcome.
I love Flickr the way it is. I hope they improve it without messing it up. I don't want another Facebook. A few new features would be nice, though, and with Picnik closing in April, they'll need something to replace that.
I wonder if they could replace Picnik with Pixlr. I've found that to be a good online editor. I have the Pixlr Grabber extension in Firefox. If, while reading forums, I see a photo that seems to need certain tweaks, I can take it straight to Pixlr for a quick edit, to confirm my impressions.
if flickr wants to increase its user base it needs to build community. Some community features are laughable. Most critically, there's no way to be notified of replies to group discussion posts.
Hope its good as i stayed away from flickr cos the user interface just didn't work for me. Too many clicks and too many sizes.
I've never liked the Flickr interface. Looking forward to something new!
I hope that they don't make any changes that break 3rd party uses of Flickr - I use it mainly because it (had) good 3rd party tools for uploading and also for viewing content - like Flickriver, and OnBlack, for example. Consequently the interface was not very important to me.
RSS feeds out to blogs were also extremely useful to me. I hope they don't break those. It also worked with Yahoo! Pipes (though that might not be around for long).
Yep especially hope they don't change the RSS...
You should email their customer service and let them know you are concerned about their new upgrade, more specifically, the impact it may have on RSS.
This is a great point. I don't think they'll mess with RSS but if they do, they'll lose me. Publishing my Flickr photos on my home page is one of the best things about Flickr.
I really quite like the Flickr interface. It offers a lot more control than Google Plus.
"He also appeared to rubbish the site's clean but rather dated..."
To... "rubbish" it? To put garbage upon it? Eh? Is this some turn of phrase with which I am unfamiliar?
Apparently it is. Means "to speak disparagingly of".
There's no reason you should be familiar with it, fyngyrs. It's Brit slang. (A new word every minute.) It's rubbish. We're really cooked when Thai slang starts being used.
It's not slang, it's an accepted usage in UK English.
The problem is that it's hard to second-guess which words and phrases aren't used in the US.
Ha, yeah, first time I've heard it like that. Thanks 36/Richard for clearing it up.
Mmmm.... a little worried about this. I like flickr as-is, at least as far as how the pages are displayed. Been a paying member for years. I have a 500px account too, but it doesn't even remotely compare to flickr.
Not that I wouldn't like to see some changes:
Galleries, sets and collections need some work, the site desperately needs a blog facility, and as another poster here remarked, it'd be nice to be able to control which images appear on your account's photos page. The Favorites capability *really* needs some work (hasn't it occurred to *someone* over there that we might collect favorites along more than one line of interest, and jamming them all together is... well, lame?)
I've mostly lost interest in Flickr, and have been slowly making the move to 500px. I was just about to buy their Pro account, but maybe now I'll wait and see what this turns out to be.
A way to explore groups from the main page.
Bout freaking time!! They better add the ability to customize your first page, as in which pictures you want to display upfront rather than date added only....
Just wrote above: you can change any of your photo's upload date to the current one, to bring it up to your frontpage!
I've been using this for quite some time now...
- Very – I couldn't get by without one.9.5%
- Somewhat – It's nice to have but not a deal-breaker.31.0%
- Neither important or unimportant – I can take it or leave it.31.6%
- Not important at all – in fact I dislike touchscreens on cameras.27.8%

Van Wedeen, a Harvard radiology professor, is awestruck: "We've never really seen the brain - it's been hiding in plain sight." Conventional scanning has offered us a crude glimpse, but scientists such as Wedeen aim to produce the first ever three-dimensional map of all its neurons. They call this circuit diagram the "connectome", and it could help us better understand everything from imagination and language to the miswirings that cause mental illness. But with 100 billion neurons hooked together by more connections than there are stars in the MilkyWay, the brain is a challenge that represents petabyte-level data.
So how much detail do they need? Wedeen, or the like-minded Human Connectome Project in the US, will tell you that it's enough to chart the average pathways between areas of the brain (and that even this could take a decade to complete). However, this opinion has its critics: other scientists claim that a "true" connectome has to drill deeper, tracing each neuron and its hydra-headed links. It could be a fool's errand, but for some it's already their life's work.
Wired spoke to three scientists, each using a different technique to create their own extraordinary mammalian connectome.
Above: Owl-monkey brain mapped by Van Wedeen
Wedeen used a souped-up MRI scanner to detect water diffusing along the fibres that link the different areas of an owl-monkey's brain. He then traced where the broad circuitry lies and colour-coded it based on the direction of the tissue. The green, treelike structure on the left is the cerebellum, which handles perception. A next-generation scanner will allow him to image human brains. Wedeen says he wants to reveal "the symmetry and beauty in objects - from the outside, the brain is fairly ugly, but its architecture is beautiful and rational".

|Passariello Salomon
|Biographical information
May 27, 1984
|Eye color
|Hair color
|In Twilight saga
Aro's witness
Salomon Passariello (born May 27, 1984) is the American actor who portrays a witness for the Volturi in Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
Salomon Passariello Solorzano was born on May 27 from an artist family in Queens, New York. He was the son of star dancer Macarena Solorzano. Salomon's mother was a close friend of director/writer/producer Fina Torres.
His step-mother, Dominique Passariello Cuisine, and his uncle, Vicente Passariello, invited Salomon to be present on TV sets. Salomon spent countless weekends next to his grandmother actress Gladys Cáceres.
Salomon relocated himself to Venezuela in the early 1990s. He lived in Caracas near La Carlota military airport, where he witnessed Chavez first MBR-200 coup on February 4, 1992. Several army units under Chavez's command barreled into urban Caracas assaulting and overwhelming key military and communications installations. On 27 November 1992, a second coup attempt was launched in Caracas, led by officers from the air force and navy. Salomon's apartment was damaged by both of the airstrikes.
On December 1992, Salomon moved to France and returned to Venezuela in 1993. At some point, he met Venezuelan actor Wilmer Valderrama in 1994, with whom he would cross paths again later. Salomon returned to Caracas in 1994 until Chavez went on to win the 1998 presidential election on December 6, 1998. Salomon would live in France from 1998 to 2002, and Greece from 2002 to 2004. He would finally go back to Miami, Florida on Halloween 2004.
Upon enrolling in Los Angeles Pierce College, Salomon Passariello decided to focus on acting. He would become an aspiring actor with the versatility to perform in different languages, such as English, French and Spanish. Salomon's earlier film roles include stunts in films such as Inception. He appeared as a Queen Anne's Pirate in 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, directed by Rob Marshall. It was in this production that he became very close friends with Lejon Stewart, who appeared in 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, directed by Gore Verbinski.
His other roles include appearing as in The Muppets, Ben Affleck's Argo, as well as Iyad Hajjaj's The Rifleman. Salomon will next appear in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, as a prisoner who breaks out of prison. Plus a role in The Amazing Spiderman.

What would it look like if you combined the displays of every iPhone ever sold?
Lauren Crabbe | Published: Jun 7, 2013 at 13:25 UTC24
Ever wondered what it would look like if every iPhone ever made was placed side by side and then assembled in the middle of Manhattan? No? Well, someone figured it out anyways.
Josh Orter, founder of the math-happy blog Stupid Calculations, wondered what it would look like if the "displays were ripped out of every iPhone ever sold and combined into a single colossus." A few mind-melting calculations later, Orter found the answer:
[T]he Kubrick-inspired monophone would stretch 5,059 feet into the sky and have a base measuring 2,846 feet across (Central Park is 2,640 feet wide). Its surface area would take in 2.07 billion square inches. That's 14.39 million square feet or 330.54 acres. The new World Trade Center, by comparison, will have a surface area of 23 glass-clad acres, giving us enough screenage to watch Game of Thrones on all four sides of fourteen WTCs.
To put his findings into perspective, he wanted to see what his giant "monophone" into the New York City skyline. He was able to do this by comparing it to Central Park and the General Motors building. The result is a towering display that strikes fear into any Android and Apple fan alike.

1. Make your whole-day plan for Nov. 6 now, and if you're in a multi-person household, make sure everyone in the household participates and agrees. For most people, an agreed-to plan will trump all but the most serious emergencies. This means you not only decide that you're going to vote; you decide when during the day you're going to vote; you've confirmed where your polling place is (if there's any doubt, go to pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us), and how you're going to get there and back to your regularly scheduled chores. If the day is tightly scheduled and something has to be re-arranged, it's easier to do that ahead of time than a few hours before the polls close.
2. Be sure you're prepared for any kind of weather; so you don't have to scramble for the winter coat, the hat and gloves, the umbrella, the sunglasses, or whatever needs our fine climate might create.
3. Make a "Plan B" in case some emergency spoils your original plan.Two often workable "Plan Bs" would be getting up in time to reach the polls by 7 a.m., and planning to be home and free by 7 p.m. that day, so that if the day gets away from you, there'll still be time to get to the polling place before 8.
4. Check your voter registration to be sure it's current. If there's any doubt, go to www.sos.state.mn.us to check on your registration; and, if you're not registered, to learn what you must do to register on election day. Pull that information together now, if you need it, and put it where it will be at your disposal on election day, such as in a wallet or in the glove compartment of the vehicle that will go to the polling place.
5. Voting time doesn't have to come at the expense of family time. It can be family time. Show the kids how important it is by finding a way to include them in the process (not always possible, we know, but great if you can).
6. Do you have a friend, relative or neighbor who might have a hard time getting to the polling place? Make this the year you offer them a ride, or any other help they might need.
Our heartfelt desire for all eligible voters to do their civic duty (there's another catch phrase for you) applies whether you agree or disagree with our endorsements. From the White House to your local schoolhouse, and every voter-supported venue in between, see to it that the world hears from North and Northeast Minneapolis on election day.
