On March 8th this year the world marked the International Women's Day, to celebrate the beauty, courage, tolerance and perseverance of creatures in charge of not only bringing new life to this world but also making sure the said life grows up to become a president, king, queen, minister, judge and all you can think of.
No one can dismiss the fact that without these creatures, the world would have been empty. Our correspondent Rose Mwalongo discusses what Tanzania should do to write-off all discriminative laws for women's development …
Despite the celebrations however, this very lady I prefer to call the queen of the castle has found herself bringing some weird creatures who instead of glorifying her, terrorize, beat and mutilate her while at the same time treating her as a weak creature.
The very same creatures brought by women have at times decided to fight for power leading her to suffer as she hassles as a refugee in foreign countries trying to protect her family. Worse still, the very creatures brought by women, have opted to use her as a shield and at times rape her during war as is the case in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the other war torn countries in the world.
Worse still, the very same creatures end up beating, and chopping off her hands or fingers and not to mention of killing the very same mom who has brought them up. The list is endless, of what befalls women on a daily basis. For even as I write here, somewhere in this world there is a lady dying from severe beatings from a spouse or partner.
The stories above may seem like fiction but they are very valid in most of the countries, and Tanzania is no exception despite making a great stride to ensure her girls and women are educated and given the posts that were once a nightmare for them. Women's lives in the country remain in shadows due to the existence of discriminative laws
A report on the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by SAHRINGON Tanzania Chapter mentions some of the bad laws as the Customary Law Declaration Order; of 1963 due to prohibiting widows from inheriting land from the deceased husband.
In other words, women in rural areas remain the sufferers in all this as their livelihood depends upon land to survive. Land is everything as it makes them get food and subsistence for sell, yet once the spouse is gone, they are forced to leave to an unknown destination. The laws of the country do not favour them and no wonder, these women remain and die poor as a result.
This law however, is not the only bad one, for despite the government's efforts to educate the girl child, some parents in rural areas use the loopholes provided to them by the discriminative laws to marry off their daughters against their will.
Girls are forced into marriage at a tender age of up to 14 years to earn their fathers' dowry, which denies them the right to education.
The Law of the Marriage Act 1971 allows marriage of young girls below 15 years.
This law is contradictory to the Law of the Child Act 2009 which identifies a child as any person below the age of 18, meaning the Marriage Act 1971 condones marriage to minors.
Activists in the country have in recent years raised concern over the prevalence of discriminative laws in the country's books calling upon the need to review them.
In 2010, the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) in collaboration with other civil societies identified 4 discriminative laws which are still in the country's books.
Among them is the Law of Marriage Act, Cap.29 [R.E 2002) under sections 13 which states that a woman can get married at the age of 14 and 15 upon leave of the court while as section 17 of the same law allows marriage under parents' consent in case the girl has not attained apparent age of 18.
Perhaps it is about time our legislators reviewed these laws as they have been a bad song in our ears for sometimes now if at all the country wants to achieve the MDGs to which we ledged to achieve its goals.
The MDGS, as sets of development milestones were formulated during the United Nations Millennium Summit 2000 to address some of the most common social-economic issues in world.
The 8 MDGs are eradication of extreme poverty and hunger; achievement of universal primary education; promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women.
Others are reduction of child mortality; improvement of maternal health, combating HIV and Aids, malaria and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability and development of global partnership for development.
Perhaps it is wise to note however that a woman falls under all the above groups as a mother, sister and caretaker of the sick just to mention a few.
If we are to assess based on the MDGs, then we will find out that the progress we see is mainly in urban areas where the elites and educated women can speak up for their rights. Our government has for sure built a lot of primary and secondary schools as well as health centers but the laws in place hinder a girl child from excelling.
As we marked the International Women's Day last week, let us now fight for our lawmakers to repeal all the bad laws which discriminate a woman and a girl child. Let no one mistreat women and girls for by so doing they are mistreating their own mothers, daughters and sisters.

Motion Sickness
Topic Overview
What is motion sickness?
If you've ever been sick to your stomach on a rocking boat or a bumpy airplane ride, you know the discomfort of motion sickness. It doesn't cause long-term problems, but it can make your life miserable, especially if you travel a lot.
Children from 5 to 12 years old, women, and older adults get motion sickness more than others do. It's rare in children younger than 2.
Motion sickness is sometimes called airsickness, seasickness, or carsickness.
What are the symptoms?
Motion sickness can cause:
- A general feeling that you're ill.
- Nausea.
- Vomiting.
- Headache.
- Sweating.
Symptoms will usually go away soon after the motion stops.
What causes motion sickness?
You get motion sickness when one part of your balance-sensing system (your inner ear, eyes, and sensory nerves) senses that your body is moving, but the other parts don't. For example, if you are in the cabin of a moving ship, your inner ear may sense the motion of waves, but your eyes don't see any movement. This conflict between the senses causes motion sickness.
You may feel sick from the motion of cars, airplanes, trains, amusement park rides, or boats or ships. You could also get sick from video games, flight simulators, or looking through a microscope. In these cases, your eyes see motion, but your body doesn't sense it.
How is it treated?
You can take medicine to prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting. These include:
- Scopolamine, which comes as a patch you put behind your ear.
- Medicines called antiemetics, which reduce nausea.
- Certain antihistamines, which may make you drowsy.
Some of these medicines require a prescription. Most work best if you take them before you travel.
These tips may help you feel better when you have motion sickness:
- Eat a few dry soda crackers.
- Sip on clear, fizzy drinks such as ginger ale.
- Get some fresh air.
- Lie down, or at least keep your head still.
How can you avoid motion sickness?
It's best to try to prevent motion sickness, because symptoms are hard to stop after they start. After symptoms start, you may feel better only after the motion stops.
These general tips may help you avoid motion sickness:
- Move your head as little as possible.
- Don't drink alcohol or eat a heavy meal before you travel.
- Don't eat or drink during short trips.
- Try to avoid strong odors and spicy foods.
In a car
To avoid motion sickness when you travel by car:
- Sit in the front seat.
- Don't read or watch TV or videos.
In a plane
When you travel by airplane:
- Ask for a seat near the wings.
- Eat small meals of foods that are easy to digest before and during a long flight. This may help reduce nausea and vomiting.
On a ship or boat
When you travel by ship or boat:
- Book a cabin near the middle of a ship and near the waterline. Sit in the middle of a boat.
- Try to get fresh air.
- Look at a fixed point on the horizon.
Many people try other methods of preventing motion sickness, such as taking powdered ginger capsules or wearing acupressure wristbands. There isn't much evidence that they help, but it's safe to try them.

Ryan Gosling is Taking a Break From Acting
Bad news ladies. It might be awhile before you see the hunky RYAN GOSLING back on the big screen.
--He tells E!, "I've been doing it too much. I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it.
--You'll probably disagree with this but he thinks YOU need a break from him too.
--"I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does. The more opportunities I'm given, the more I learn about how easy it is to (expletive) it up."
Is Jon Hamm's Unrestrained Bulge So Distracting on the Set of "Mad Men" That He's Being Asked to Wear Underwear?
Actor JON HAMM has apparently been causing trouble on the set of his show all because of the bulge in his pants.
--Sources on the set of "Mad Men" say Jon's package has become a DISTRACTION.
--A so-called "insider" tells the "New York Daily News", quote, "This season takes place in the 1960s, where the pants are very tight and leave little to the imagination. Jon's impressive anatomy is so distracting that they politely insisted on underwear."
--The source adds that in the past, AMC's marketing team has had to, quote, "do some Photoshop magic on promotional pictures [to hide his bulge]" . . . because it wouldn't look good on, quote, "the side of a bus or building."
--By the way, Jon's rep isn't amused . . . quote, "It's ridiculous and not really funny at all. I'd appreciate you taking the high road and not resorting to something childish like this that's been blogged about 1,000 times."
Rihanna's Tour Bus Was Stopped at a Border Crossing, and Marijuana Was Found . . . But Rihanna Is in the Clear
RIHANNA'S 10-bus caravan was stopped at a border crossing near Detroit yesterday, after an investigator caught a whiff of marijuana.
--A drug-sniffing dog was brought in, and . . . somewhat surprisingly . . . they only found a "small amount" of weed on ONE guy. Rihanna wasn't on any of the buses.
Lindsay Lohan Will Be Treated for Alcohol and Prescription Drug Addiction
When LINDSAY LOHAN enters rehab for her court-mandated 90-day stay, sources say she'll be treated for alcohol and prescription drug addiction.
--Lindsay's drugs of choice are Adderall and Xanax . . . and we all know how much she loves her vodka.
--The big question is, will she actually get clean this time? One source says, quote, "The main problem when it comes to Lindsay ever getting sober is her absolute denial that she has any substance abuse issues.
--"Once again, she is only going to rehab purely because it's a slightly more attractive alternative than going to jail."
Miley Cyrus Is Wearing Her Engagement Ring Again
MILEY CYRUS is wearing her engagement ring again. She posted a picture of herself on Twitter yesterday, wearing a onesie with a horse's face on the hood . . . and the ring is clearly visible.
--She didn't make any comments about it.

The Illini have been working the class of 2014 very hard throughout the summer and numerous offers have been given out to some of the top players in the state. Another offer went out on Wednesday when the Illini offered 2014 point guard prospect Larry Austin. Austin had a tremendous summer playing for his Mid America Elite squad and showcasing the point guard skills and talents that make him such a coveted prospect. That play has opened the door to interest from numerous schools and drawn him an offer from the home state school. "It's big," Austin said if the Illinois offer. "I'm from Illinois; they are the home state school, so it means a lot to get an offer from them." Despite the fact that Austin is excited about getting the Illinois offer to go along with an earlier offer from Bradley, Austin says he is no hurry to make a decision. "It doesn't change my timeline," he said. "I'm going to go through the process, I'm just a sophomore, and see what's out there, take a few visits." Austin plans on visiting Illinois for the Arizona State game on September 17th in what is setting up as a huge visit weekend for Illinois. He also has visits set to Ohio State and Xavier, and is working on setting up visits to Kansas and Kentucky. All of that, plus he will be attending the USA Basketball training camp the weekend of October 14th and 15th in what shapes up as a busy fall. His strong summer with Mid America Elite and solid play with the USA basketball 16U squad has moved him from being a player on the radar to a more coveted prospect. College coaches finally got a chance to see him run a team, and what they saw was a solid point guard with the athletic ability to play at the high major level. His hard work has paid off, but Austin isn't done working. "It shows that the hard work has paid off," Austin said of his new interest and offers, but it also motivates me to keep working hard." That hard work will likely lead to more offers for the 6'1 guard, even as early as this fall as he makes his way around the Midwest for unofficial visits. ...More...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Two years ago, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen sent out a letter to season ticket holders. "You deserve more from this franchise," he wrote.
Then, he went out and fixed it -- first by hiring John Elway, who remembered how things worked when the Broncos were one of the NFL's premier organizations, then by bringing on John Fox as coach and, eventually, Peyton Manning to play quarterback.
On Monday, the day after the Broncos closed out a 13-3 regular season and wrapped up the top seed in the AFC, the team distributed a different kind of memo, a five-page list titled "Denver Broncos 2012 Regular-Season Superlatives" -- a fitting symbol for a franchise that has transformed itself from a joke to a Super Bowl favorite in the span of two years.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The government has expressed its commitment to allocate enough financial and human resources in the fight against neglected diseases like trachoma, schistosomiasis, soil transmitted helminthiasis, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, plague, rabies, trypanosomiasis and cysticercosis.
Speaking at the opening of a one-day forum for neglected tropical diseases at the weekend, Preventive Health Services Assistant Director in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Dr Peter Mmbuji said the neglected tropical diseases had been increasing in the developing countries including Tanzania, hence there was a need to put in places strategies against them.
The forum, brought together health sector specialists from in and outside Tanzania, was organised by the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO), the British Council, Sightsaver and IMA World Health.
"The ministry is aware of the magnitude of the problem and we're coming up with a lasting solution to address it," he stressed, noting that the neglected diseases had been affecting socio-economic development in most African countries including Tanzania.
"This has been so due to the fact that the diseases are given less importance compared to other diseases in terms of allocating resources. But for Tanzania we are committed to seeing these diseases don't spread any further," he said.
According to Dr Mmbuji, the neglected diseases have been affecting the victims and contributing little to socio-economic development.
He further said the ministry's strategies were to ensure that prevention and treatment services reached rural and urban dwellers.
NIMR Director General Dr Mwele Malecela said his institute would ensure it continued collaborating with stakeholders including the government.

The Andorian battle cruiser was a type of warship in service with the Andorian Imperial Guard during the mid-22nd century.
The first ship of this class, the Kumari, was commanded by Commander Thy'lek Shran from 2142 to 2154. (ENT: "Babel One")
Since their launch in the 2140s, several Andorian warships of this type had been reported missing. When the Enterprise NX-01 was attacked by a Romulan drone-ship disguised as an Andorian battle cruiser, Shran suggested that the Tellarites may have been responsible, using one of these missing ships after enhancing its systems. (ENT: "Babel One")
In 2154, several Andorian battle cruisers were incorporated into an Andorian-Tellarite-Vulcan fleet which consisted of some 128 ships, formed in response to a Romulan marauder that threatened the entire region. (ENT: "United")
In the mirror universe, the Andorian rebels utilized this class of vessel to engage the Terran fleet in 2155. At least two of these vessels were among the rebel ships attacking the ISS Avenger. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
Technical data
The Andorian battle cruiser was considerably more rugged than the designs utilized by contemporary United Earth Starfleet vessels. (ENT: "Proving Ground") Like all Andorian combat vessels, the Andorian battle cruiser was constructed using a "significant quantity" of duranium alloy. (ENT: "Babel One") Despite the vessel's fairly large size, it was crewed by a complement of only eighty-six. (ENT: "United") In comparison, Starfleet's smaller NX-class had a standard compliment of eighty-three. (ENT: "E²")
Physical arrangement
The outboard plan of the Andorian battle cruiser's design consisted of a central "spine" that contained a vertically bifurcated forward hull containing several decks. The central "spine" gradually narrowed toward the aft section of the ship where it connected to two vertically stacked warp nacelles. Located midway down the "spine" were a pair of forward-swept wings which contained the impulse engines and defensive systems. (ENT: "Cease Fire", "Proving Ground", "Zero Hour", etc.)
Defensive systems
The defensive systems utilized by the Andorian battle cruiser included a formidable array of particle cannons composed of multiple forward cannon emplacements, port and starboard wing emitters, as well as dorsal and ventral emitters capable of firing in 180 degree arcs. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "Kir'Shara")
The Andorian battle cruiser enjoyed an advantage over other less advanced vessels of this era due to its utilization of deflector shield technology. Nevertheless, this class was somewhat susceptible to attacks directed towards its shield generator. The shield generator itself was located distantly from the vessel's power grid, leaving it vulnerable to damage. (ENT: "Kir'Shara", "Babel One")
During the 2150s, Andorian technology was considered to be more advanced than analogous Tellarite technology. One Tellarite cruiser was said to not be able to "stand a chance" against two Andorian warships. (ENT: "Babel One") The Andorian battle cruiser had a level of firepower comparable to the Xindi-Reptilian warship and the Vulcan Template:ShipType combat cruiser. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "Kir'Shara")
In the mirror universe, this class proved significantly inferior to a mid-23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship. This was clearly illustrated when the USS Defiant, defending the Terran warship ISS Avenger from rebel attack, engaged and destroyed one Andorian battle cruiser within seconds and inflicted heavy damage to a second before allowing it to escape. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
Propulsion systems
Andorian battle cruisers utilized warp drive technology that was more advanced than Starfleet's warp five engine, allowing Andorian vessels to be "considerably faster" than Earth's NX-class starship. (ENT: "Proving Ground") These vessels could travel at speeds that were described at the time as "high warp." (ENT: "Zero Hour")
One of the technological innovations contributing to the high performance of the ship's warp drive was the utilization of advanced antimatter injectors with variable compression nozzles. In 2153, knowledge of this of "sophisticated piece of technology" was still considered to be "rather sensitive information." (ENT: "Proving Ground")
Additional systems
The long-range sensors utilized on board the Andorian battle cruiser were more sophisticated than those utilized on board Starfleet's NX-class. (ENT: "Proving Ground", "Babel One") These sensors were capable of scanning a star system from a distance without betraying the vessel's presence. Conversely, usage of its short-range sensors was detectable by vessels that were being scanned by them. Commander Shran attempted to innocently explain away these sensors to Degra as being "omni-directional" during a ruse to scan the second prototype of the Xindi superweapon during its test in the Calindra system in 2153. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
Much like Vulcan ships of the era, Andorian battle cruisers were equipped with a tractor beam. The tractor emitter was located on the ship's forward ventral section. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
Additionally, these warships were equipped with transporters capable of performing site-to-site transport. Use of these transporters was only detectable by internal sensors as a brief energy surge. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
Auxiliary craft
The Andorian battle cruiser housed at least one shuttle. (ENT: "Proving Ground") They also carried multiple escape pods. (ENT: "Proving Ground", "Babel One")
Interior design
Capable of operating with a crew of five, the bridge of the Andorian battle cruiser directly supervised all primary mission operations and coordinated all departmental activities. Its design was not unlike the layouts used aboard Earth and Klingon vessels of that era, and of Federation starships of later eras. The most significant difference was the placement of the wall consoles, which faced away from the captain rather than towards him.
The layout consisted of an inverted "half-moon"-shaped viewscreen located on the forward bulkhead, directly in front of the ship's side-by-side helm and navigation console.
In the center of the bridge was the captain's chair, with two large convex dishes on either side of the chair. A semi-circle of four station consoles, each with its own stool, surrounded the captain's chair, one each to port and starboard, and two near the aft. All four consoles were each attached to a support column which braced the bridge's vaulted ceiling.
Along the rear bulkhead were several display monitors, separating the entry way to the captain's ready room on the port side from the entryway to the bridge on the starboard side. (ENT: "Proving Ground", "Zero Hour", "Babel One")
Ready room
The ready room was located adjacent to the bridge and provided the commanding officer with a private place to conduct ship's business. The ready room on board the Kumari had a large viewscreen located on the bulkhead opposite the entryway and a desk and chair located between the entryway and the viewscreen. Behind the commander's desk was a shelving display that contained the officer's personal effects. (ENT: "Proving Ground")
Interrogation room
The interrogation room was a small area that contained an interrogation chair located opposite of the entryway and a free standing control console located in the corner, near the door. The interrogation technology utilized a machine that created a neuro-synaptic field which caused the victim's emotional threshold to be lowered rather than causing physical discomfort. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
Cargo bays
The Andorian battle cruiser contained at least three cargo bays, with the third being located on the ventral section of the ship, near the center of the vessel. These cargo bays were shielded against potential radiation by use of a force field. (ENT: "Proving Ground")

The Andorian battle cruiser was designed by John Eaves in collaboration with Rick Berman. It was rendered as a CGI model by Pierre Drolet; the "light kit" for the model was added by Rob Bonchune.
The length established for the model, as scaled in relation to the other models created for the series, was 360 meters.
The tactile interfaces for the helm/navigation console were sold in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction for $260.00. [4] Two of the four "distressed" work consoles that appeared on the Kumari bridge were also sold in the It's A Wrap! auction for $676.66 and $660.00, respectively. [5]
The captain's chair, which was a reuse of Voyager's first officer's chair, was sold in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The auction estimate for the chair was $4,000 to $6,000; the sale price was $3,500 ($4,200 with premium). [6] Four bridge stools, similar to the stools used on the Kumari bridge (however painted gold), were also sold in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. [7]
The Andorian symbol that was on the upper aft section of the bridge was sold in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction. The auction estimate for the plaque was $100 - $150; the sale price was $1200 ($1440 with premium). [8]

China, Fed weigh on USD
Last week's devaluation of the Chinese Renminbi has continued to keep the foreign exchange markets on edge this week, though the CNY seemingly has stabilized for the moment. Continued fears regarding China's growth have sustained the risk-off posture of the markets this week and, along with somewhat dovish Fed minutes released Wednesday, have helped to push the dollar lower from last week's levels. The persistent sell-off in crude oil, now at six year lows, has also darkened the cloud over the global economic outlook.

Appeal after bus driver is assaulted near Tottenham Hale
07:00 10 June 2012
Police would like to speak to this man regarding an assault on a bus driver near Tottenham Hale station.
The driver was behind the wheel of a route 123 bus in Station Road at about 7pm on February 6 when he was assaulted by a man with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier-type dog.
The man boarded with the dog but did not properly show his travelcard to the driver before walking to the back of the bus. The driver asked him back to show his pass, but when he did so he racially abused the driver before getting off and walking around to the drivers window and assaulting him.
The suspect then made off towards Ferry Lane. He is described as a white man with dark hair, wearing a dark puffa jacket and jeans.
The driver suffered minor injuries but did not require medical attention.
Officers from the joint Metropolitan Police Service and Transport for London Safer Transport Command Workplace Violence Unit are appealing for anyone with information on the assault to contact DC Andy Barnard on 020 3054 5406, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

June gloom used to mean something entirely different to me before I relocated.
It was the time of year I realized my fantasy baseball team wasn't all that and a bag of Ruffles.
June was the month to make moves. With April and May in my rear view, there was a big enough sample size to make a fair evaluation.
I break down a baseball season the same way I would a movie. There are three parts: the setup, the confrontation and the resolution.
Main characters are established in the first act (April and May).
I established the foundation of my team at the draft: outfielders Ryan Braun (Brewers) and Morse High's Adam Jones (Orioles), third baseman Evan Longoria (Rays), and pitchers Matt Cain (Giants) and Rancho Bernardo High's Cole Hamels (Phillies).
An incident usually leads to a second and more dramatic situation, known as the first turning point, which ensures life will never be the same for the main characters. I lost Longoria for 4-8 weeks at the end of April to a partially torn hamstring.
The second act (June and July), usually referred to as "rising action," typically depicts the main characters, not only learning new skills, but arriving at a higher sense of awareness of who they are and what they are capable of. This is character development.
For fantasy purposes, it's when your team is supposed to come together. This is when you make your push to solidify yourself as a contender.
The third act (August and September) features the resolution of the story and its subplots.
If your team isn't competitive by August, you should already be knee-deep in your preparation for football. If you are in it, this is the payoff for all the hard work in the first four months.
Mind you, this is mostly for rotisserie, not head-to-head. Head-to-head is much more of a roller-coaster ride, where luck and matchups play a much bigger role.
For my (Hebrew) Hammer Time squad, Longoria was looking like an MVP candidate before he hit the disabled list. My offense — I expected it to be the strength of my team — took a nose dive, despite Jones' hot start. The injury forced my hand.
I advocated in an earlier column to be more aggressive if you noticed a deficiency on your team. My team was deficient in offense. I followed my own advice.
I traded Cy Young candidate Gio Gonzalez (Nationals), future fantasy stud Eric Hosmer (Royals) and throwaway Gaby Sanchez (Marlins) for a returning-from-injury Ryan Zimmerman (Nationals), future fantasy stud Mike Trout (Angels) and a solid Josh Willingham (Twins).
Out of 12 teams I was last after week one. At the time of Longoria's injury I was 10th. At the time of the trade in mid-May I was ninth. I'm pleased to announce I'm a point and a half out of third today.
Braun and Jones have been consistently great. Hamels has had his moments and Cain has been nothing short of perfect. (See what I did there?)
Turns out the future is now for Trout. He has me considering giving up an early-round pick to keep him for next season. Despite the late start, he leads the American League in steals with 16. He's also top 20 in runs (35), triples (3) and would be second in average (.341) and sixth in OPS (.942) if he had enough at-bats.
Longoria owners rejoice. He begins a rehab assignment in Triple-A Durham this weekend, which means he could return by the end of next week. Perfect timing for the protagonist to make a dramatic return.
If he picks up where he left off, I like my chances at a happy ending.

Development and character designRainbow Dash shares her name and color scheme with a fashionista Earth pony from G3 and G3.5. However, Lauren Faust gave her the personality of her favorite G1 pony, Firefly. Throughout the development stages, Rainbow Dash's cutie mark was changed from two blue lightning bolts like Firefly's, to a single wide three-colored lightning bolt, to the current cutie mark design. She is the only pony out of the six leading characters who has completely straight eyelashes, and the only pony to leave a rainbow-colored trail or dry-brush smear behind her when speeding off.
Depiction in the series
- "Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!"
- — Twilight Sparkle
Rainbow Dash first appears in Friendship is Magic, part 1, where she accidentally crashes into Twilight Sparkle and sends her into a mud puddle. During their ensuing exchange they get to know each other for the first time. Rainbow Dash later joins Twilight and four other ponies in Friendship is Magic, part 2 on their quest for the Elements of Harmony. Halfway into the journey, Nightmare Moon attempts to stop them by taking the form of an imitation of her favorite aerobatics team and using them to deceive Rainbow into abandoning her friends. However, they fail as she declines their offers of fame and power to help her friends and continue the quest. It was by this act she earned herself control over the Element of Loyalty.
Rainbow Dash's loyalty is put to the test in The Return of Harmony Part 1 and Part 2. She and her friends must solve Discord's riddle and play by his rules to regain the Elements. During their mission, Rainbow Dash falls victim to Discord's manipulation after he tells her that her home will crumble without her, and shows her a vision of Cloudsdale crumbling. Under Discord's influence, she abandons her friends to "save" a cloud she believes to be Cloudsdale. Right before Applejack spots Rainbow Dash flying away, Twilight Sparkle reassures herself by saying Rainbow Dash won't let them down, but then watches in disbelief as Rainbow Dash speeds off. Discord reveals himself and informs other ponies that they have been disqualified, as one of his rules stated that if one of the ponies leaves, the game is over.
The following episode, when Twilight sets about finding her friends to undo what Discord had done to them with a "memory spell", Rainbow Dash dismisses Twilight's plight with "loyalty shmoyalty". Since she won't come close enough to Twilight for the spell to be performed, the ponies must combine their efforts to catch her and bring her to the ground. Her first words after her corruption is undone is "How's Ponyville? Where are the Elements? Did we stop Discord?" With Dash by their side again, the ponies wield the Elements of Harmony and defeat Discord with their magic.
Brashness and apparent laziness
Rainbow Dash is very confident in her abilities, which is often construed by others as laziness. When Twilight Sparkle first meets Rainbow Dash, she has none of her cloud cleanup work done, and lies idly on a cloud, putting off her work. Despite her apparent laziness, she performed her duty in "ten seconds flat", leaving Twilight wide-eyed at the sight. She languishes about in Griffon the Brush Off, The Cutie Pox, and Swarm of the Century, but springs into action in the last second when she's needed to help deal with the parasprite infestation, and leaves off for duty when she's needed in the first. She is the leader of the weather team in Winter Wrap Up and she volunteers to go on important missions with her friends, so despite her apparent laziness she is a hard-working, contributing pony.
She proudly says in Boast Busters that she's better than the rest of the ponies, but boos Trixie when Applejack gives her a scornful look. She and Applejack deride Twilight Sparkle in Fall Weather Friends for being an "egghead" and not having any experience with running outside of what she read in her book. However, both of them admire her magic in Boast Busters and tell her they're proud of her.
Rainbow Dash doesn't hide her annoyance at her friends' behavior, mostly with Fluttershy throughout season one. On the ponies' expedition in Dragonshy, Rainbow Dash is short with Fluttershy's shyness throughout their journey, in Suited for Success she angrily scolds her for suggesting panic, and in Sonic Rainboom she becomes so frustrated with Fluttershy's meek cheering that she does a pratfall. It is worth noting that despite her rude attitude towards Fluttershy, she doesn't apologize to her in the long run. She begrudgingly lets Rarity give her a makeover in Swarm of the Century, and keeps an annoyed frown on her face in the process. When Twilight Sparkle tries to convince Rarity in Suited For Success that she's not a laughing stock, Rainbow Dash rudely quips "she kind-of is". Like the other ponies' dresses, the dress she asked Rarity to make her is over the top, and it even includes a helmet styled much like the one worn by The Rocketeer. However, she wears the dress Rarity originally designed for her with a smile on her face when Rarity is given a second chance to redeem herself. Her shortness with Fluttershy eventually comes back to bite her in the beginning of Dragon Quest, where, in a parallel of Dragonshy, she tries to force Fluttershy go to the Dragon Migration because she went to the Butterfly Migration with her, however, Fluttershy angrily kicks her in the stomach as payback and runs off. She calls a dragon lame after seeing one do a trick, but then gets her coat singed after nearly getting burnt by another dragon's fire breath. She also mocks Spike in the same episode, but is then scolded by Rarity. In Hurricane Fluttershy, she is shown to have a great amount of patience and compassion for her friends. While Rainbow Dash remains supportive and encourages her to help, Fluttershy cannot overcome her fear of being humiliated for her lack of wing power. At the end, when Fluttershy succeeds in helping funnel the rain water to Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash expresses her gratitude with an overjoyed hug, and proudly calls Fluttershy a champion flier.
- "It needs to be about 20% cooler."
- — Rainbow Dash, referring to her dress for the Gala
Competitiveness and athleticismDash describes her passion for winning in a flashback in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, and challenges other characters to competitions throughout the show. She races several times with her old friend from Junior Speedster flight camp, Gilda, in Griffon the Brush Off, and challenges Applejack in a series of athletic competitions in Fall Weather Friends.
Despite Rainbow Dash's competitiveness and confidence, she reacts poorly to failure, or even the possibility of failure. She gets upset over losing a simple game of horseshoes to Applejack, stating that she "hates losing". During the Iron Pony Competition, she resorts to using her wings in many of the contests, which Applejack regards as cheating since she does not have wings herself. During the ensuing Running of the Leaves, she continues using underhanded tactics with her wings tied behind her back, and Applejack, fed up with what she considers to be foul play, returns it in kind. By the end of the episode, the duo's brawl ends up landing them in last place, leading them to apologize to each other.
Rainbow Dash initially displays overwhelming bravado about her performance in the Best Young Flyer competition in Sonic Rainboom; however, when a winged Rarity arrives to redirect everyone's attention to herself, Rainbow reveals she's terrified of making a fool of herself as she loses her cool, almost refuses to perform and messes up several of her routines.
She stages a competition for her potential pets in May the Best Pet Win!, which consists of tests of speed, agility, "guts", "coolness", "awesomeness", "radicalness", and a final race against her.
MischievousnessRainbow Dash tries to spook her friends when they venture into the Everfree Forest for the first time, claiming that no pony has ever made it back out of the forest. Her reputation as a prankster is established in Griffon the Brush Off, where she and Pinkie Pie prank various ponies, and is further enforced in A Bird in the Hoof, when she tries to make the royal guards laugh.
She plays several pranks on her friend Gilda in Griffon the Brush Off, which were set up for Gilda's party, but are not specifically aimed at her. For the majority of the time when Gilda is visiting Ponyville, Rainbow Dash is unaware that the griffon is being callous and rude to the other ponies, but the pranks at the party get the best of Gilda, and she loses her temper in front of Rainbow Dash. After witnessing this side of her personality, she calls her out on her behavior and sends her on her way. Dash uses a cloud to create thunder and lightning to scare Spike in Griffon the Brush Off, as a prank. She does the same to Pinkie Pie and various other ponies in Luna Eclipsed while dressed as a Shadowbolt, laughing at the ponies she frightens. She tells Twilight Sparkle that "this is the best night of the year for pranks" and that "it's all in good fun". She then hurries off to scare another group of ponies, which she continues doing until Princess Luna decides to declare payback for all of the trouble she'd caused that night. She also displays this in It's About Time, taking advantage of Twilight's worrying to spook her, along with Spike.

ShadesRainbow Dash is seen numerous times in the show wearing a pair of black-tinted glasses. They can be seen in Lesson Zero, during the scene where the main six ponies gather for a picnic. She can also be seen in May the Best Pet Win, where she states that her pet must have substantial "radicalness," where she is later questioned by Twilight Sparkle for not explaining the difference between "awesomeness", "coolness" and "radicalness". She also wears her shades in The Mysterious Mare Do Well while she is bragging about her heroic acts.
Flying and weather manipulationHaving demonstrated remarkable speed and agility in the air, Rainbow Dash has proven herself to be a capable and accomplished flier. She speaks of and demonstrates her impressive and spectacular aerial acrobatic maneuvers in The Ticket Master, which include: the "rainblow dry", which she uses to clean up Twilight Sparkle in the first episode; the "super speed strut"; the "fantastic filly flash"; and the "buccaneer blaze", which involve strutting while flying, a nose-dive and recovery that creates a flash, and the creation of multiple bolts of lightning, respectively. On one occasion she uses her flying skills and physical strength to help Applejack demolish a barn in Lesson Zero. She ruthlessly tears through the structure from all directions, and eventually dives into it from a great height, finishing it off in a savage yet vibrantly-colored explosion that sends debris raining down upon Applejack and Twilight. She demonstrates her flight skills in May the Best Pet Win! to her potential pets: she zips straight up into the sky; flies to a far-away hill leaving a trail of rainbow-colored flames behind her; maneuvers in quick 90-degree turns between the pets while leaving a vertical rainbow-colored wake behind her; and swirls around a cloud to create a pony cloud sculpture. Later in the episode she holds a final race to decide which pet she'll choose, and performs dangerous stunts like flying through giant bramble patches and dodging the bites of gigantic quarray eels.
Rainbow Dash has demonstrated her prowess with manipulating weather numerous times. She clears the skies of Ponyville of clouds "in ten seconds flat" in the first episode, dispersing the clouds by kicking them. She leads water droplets out of a cloud in Boast Busters, and creates a rainbow above her when the droplets splash against her. She teams up with other Pegasus ponies in Winter Wrap Up to create a whirlwind that sucks away clouds and snow from Ponyville, and she creates a tornado to vacuum the parasprites in Swarm of the Century.
In Hurricane Fluttershy, Rainbow led the Ponyville pegasi in creating a hurricane that would lift enough water to Cloudsdale for the rainy season. During this time, Rainbow's wing power was measured at 16.5, while most of the other Pegasi's wing power could barely measure more than 10.Rainbow Dash's most venerated move is the sonic rainboom, first depicted in the aptly-titled episode Sonic Rainboom. This is the second time in her life that she has performed the trick, the first being depicted in a later episode, The Cutie Mark Chronicles, where it indirectly leads to each of the six main characters gaining her cutie mark. Even though several ponies are present to witness the sonic rainboom in Rainbow Dash's flashback, the very same ponies consider the maneuver a myth in Sonic Rainboom.
She was apparently unable to be able to pull off the maneuver intentionally until A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, when she carries it out it as a show for Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding. She does not show any hesitation when given her cue to commense the flyby and pulls it off with utmost ease and perfection. However, it was evident that the maneuver required a reasonable amount of practice to be able to carry out as well she did.
Cutie markRainbow Dash mentions in Call of the Cutie that she was the first in her class to get her cutie mark. She tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders in The Cutie Mark Chronicles the story of how she got her cutie mark. Her story is set in summer flight camp, where she defends Fluttershy from a pair of bullies, who refer to Rainbow Dash as "Rainbow Crash", which she is also nicknamed by Spike in Bridle Gossip. One of the bullies already have their cutie mark, where Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy do not. She challenges the two bullies to a flying Pegasus race, and in the ensuing contest she discovers her passion for speed and for "winning", in her words. Going through the race course, she performs her very first sonic rainboom, not only gaining her own cutie mark, but also inadvertently setting in motion the events that would cause Fluttershy and her future Ponyville friends to gain their own cutie marks.
Sonic rainboom
- Main article: Sonic rainboom (event)
Much to their surprise, their wingless friends have decided to follow them with the aid of Twilight's cloud-walking spell, easing Rainbow's fears. However, Twilight had also given Rarity beautiful wings, which led her to steal the spotlight. As a result, Rainbow Dash loses her nerve and tries to delay her performance. As the competition draws to a close, however, she decides that she must perform anyway.
Dash messes up the first two rounds of her performance, hitting an obstacle and accidentally sends a cloud hurtling in the direction of Princess Celestia. Due to time constraints, Rarity performs alongside Rainbow Dash, and delivers her grand finale, which involves flying up to the sun and beaming her wings. However, her fragile wings, made of "gossamer and morning dew", burst into flames, sending her plummeting towards the Earth. The Wonderbolts try to save her, but Rarity kicks them by accident due to her falling down, and they are knocked out. Rainbow Dash finally notices the goings-on and accelerates towards the plummeting ponies, saving both Rarity and the Wonderbolts and performing a sonic rainboom in the process. Both this sonic rainboom and the one in The Cutie Mark Chronicles are performed when Rainbow Dash is leading with both front legs forward, while in her failed practice attempts she is leading with a single leg.Rarity is incredibly grateful that Dash saved her life, and apologizes to her friend not minding her anxiety. Rainbow Dash is crowned the winner of the competition and leaves off to spend the day with her heroes, the Wonderbolts. In A Canterlot Wedding Part 2, bolting her bridesmaid dress off, she performs a sonic rainboom for the marriage of Cadence and Shining Armor by the request of Princess Celestia. This rainboom, unlike the other two, comes faster and is performed while flying upward.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders
Despite earning her cutie mark in an endeavor that came naturally to her, Rainbow Dash advises Apple Bloom to try out many different activities to gain her cutie mark in Call of the Cutie, leading the filly and her friends to pursue their cutie marks in the wrong avenues. When coaching Apple Bloom in Call of the Cutie, Rainbow Dash dons a sports headband, a whistle, and later a martial arts uniform with a black belt when Apple Bloom tries karate.
Scootaloo, the Pegasus pony of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, idolizes Rainbow Dash. While Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are the younger sisters of two ponies from the main cast, Applejack and Rarity, respectively, Scootaloo is not related to Rainbow Dash.[1] Rainbow Dash affectionately calls Scootaloo "squirt" in Owl's Well That Ends Well and The Mysterious Mare Do Well, and appears alongside Rarity and Applejack to congratulate the Cutie Mark Crusaders for their performance during The Show Stoppers.
Rainbow Dash manages the weather in Ponyville. She keeps the skies free of clouds for the Summer Sun Celebration, and apparently, unless the weekly rainfall is scheduled for that day of course, makes sure that Ponyville has nice weather, although in the opening of Bridle Gossip, Spike states that she rarely gets up early in the morning to get a start on it. She lives in a cloud-house near Ponyville, which has the same design elements as her hometown, Cloudsdale.
Rainbow Dash is one of several ponies badgering Twilight for the extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala, in The Ticket Master. Her reason is a chance to audition for The Wonderbolts who would presumably perform there. She persists, even when Twilight calls her out on it, and when all her other friends say they don't need the ticket. The Wonderbolts do appear at the Gala in The Best Night Ever, although their performance is not shown, and they are only seen mingling with the guests in a VIP section, but Dash doesn't manage to secure their attention, despite her several attempts. In The Mysterious Mare Do Well, she saves a dirty filly who thanks her for the rescue from the deserted well.
Tank the tortoise
- Main article: Tank
Rainbow Dash's home is shown in Griffon the Brush Off. She lives in a white cloud-house hanging low to the ground somewhere near Ponyville. It features classical columns and rainbow-colored streams and waterfalls. In Dragonshy, Rainbow Dash uses one of these streams to make rainbow-colored facepaint. Her home is shown again in Party of One, with a slightly different design from the first appearance, resembling more of a cloud tower. The interior is shown in Swarm of the Century, and her bedroom is shown at the end of Read It and Weep.

Blood Counts
Blood counts are used to evaluate and diagnose diseases relating to abnormalities of the blood or bone marrow. These include primary disorders such as anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Many other conditions secondarily affect the blood or bone marrow, including reaction to inflammation and infections, coagulopathies, neoplasms and exposure to toxic substances. Many treatments and therapies affect the blood or bone marrow, and blood counts may be used to monitor treatment effects.
The complete blood count (CBC) includes a hemogram and differential white blood count (WBC). The hemogram includes enumeration of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as the determination of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and indices.
The symptoms of hematological disorders are often nonspecific, and are commonly encountered in patients who may or may not prove to have a disorder of the blood or bone marrow. Furthermore, many medical conditions that are not primarily due to abnormalities of blood or bone marrow may have hematological manifestations that result from the disease or its treatment. As a result, the CBC is one of the most commonly indicated laboratory tests.
Inpatients with possible hematological abnormalities, it may be necessary to determine the hemoglobin and hematocrit, to calculate the red cell indices, and to measure the concentration of white blood cells and platelets. These measurements are usually performed on a multichannel analyzer that measures all of the parameters on every sample. Therefore, laboratory assessments routinely include these measurements.
Indications for a CBC or hemogram include red cell, platelet, and white cell disorders. Examples of these indications are enumerated individually below.

ILLINOIS (WIFR) -- The numbers are in, the State of Illinois made about $2.5 million dollars off of Illinois gamblers last month.
About $200,000 of that came from local gaming hotspots. We looked at two dozen area video-gaming venues and in total, Stateliners spent more than 6 and a half million dollars at local machines.
Once you take away their winnings and state taxes, that works out to about $40,000 for city governments.

Robert Galbraith, Who?! Pseudonyms In FictionWednesday, July 31st, 2013
This week Robert Galbraith's book, The Cuckoo's Calling, reached #3 on the New York Times Bestseller List.
"Who is Robert Galbraith?" you may ask? Well only the beloved author of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling! In order to release a book without all the hype, hoopla and expectations of the Harry Potter series and her stand-alone novel, The Casual Vacancy, she chose to use a pen name of an ex-military man.
While there is now a waitlist for the once unknown author Robert Galbraith, here are some other authors who have written under a pen name that can hold you over until your copy of The Cuckoo's Calling is on the holdshelf.
Romance author Nora Roberts writes mysteries as J.D. Robb.
Mark Twain's given name is Samuel Clemens.
While Theodore Geisel is best know as Dr. Seuss, he also wrote children's books under the pseudonym Theo LeSieg.
Stephen King used the name Richard Bachman to prove a point to his publishers!
Lewis Carroll is the nom de plume of mathematician Charles Dodgson.
Erin Hunter is actually the pen name of four separate authors; Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui T. Sutherland, and Veronica Holmes. They use the collaborative name Erin Hunter in order to keep the Warriors series together on library shelves!
Hopefully you will enjoy these authors and imagine up a pseudonym of your very own!
