A Non-Government organisation Feed the Children Tanzania has donated 4m/- worth of sports equipment to ten primary schools in Kisarawe district on Thursday.
The donations comprised pairs of jersey to boys and girls teams, ten netballs and as many footballs and pumps to inflate the balls.
The function was held at Mengwa Village in the district and attended by Ambassador of Finland to the country Sinikka Antila, Kisarawe District Commissioner Khanifa Karamagi and Costal Region Special Seats (CCM) Parliamentarian Zainab Vullu.
Feed the Children Tanzania country director Mathew Ngwahi said his organisation decided to donate the sporting equipment to the primary schools with an objective of promoting sports in the country.
He said his organisation values the importance of sports in the development of the nation.
Sports is the vital tool for learning as pupils who only concentrate in learning without playing any game end up being dull, so says the official.
The function was also used to launch a school feed program for 25 primary schools in the district, the equipments and the school feed program are sponsored by Finnish Government.
Ngwahi also said health-wise people must relax or play some games after eating and the sports equipments will help to implement that.
He also said that he believes that the sports donations will help the district to generate future players. Schools that stand to benefit from the donations are Mengwa, Mfulu, Msanga, Kikwete, Boga, Bwama, Chang'ombe A and B, Muhanga and Malumbo.
Antila said her country is committed to help education development in the country and she pledged continued support to Tanzania.
Receiving the donations on behalf of the district, the DC thanked the Finland Government and said food and sports equipments will help to improve sports and educational standards in the district.
She express3d her profound appreciation as pupils from her village will have good sporting equipment which to keep them busy.
Atuplele Juma a Boga primary school teacher said the sports donation will help many young players in the district to realise their dreams of playing top class football and help the district have proper youth football developments.
"Lack of proper youth structures has been crippling Kisarawe district to produce good players for our district aleague and I hope this will form a strong foundation for the future of our district league", he said.

Comments On May 16, 2014:I purchased this on closeout. I have used this on two weekend trips to Turkey Bay, KY and a full week of riding in Moab. So far there are no issues with the construction of this backpack. Seams and straps show no signs of wear. The capacity and amount of compartments are perfect for what I am using it for. As far as I'm concerned, for the price this was a good buy.

Comments On Mar 03, 2013:Bought this backpack along with the hip tool belt which attaches to it. Looked great when it arrived. Set the whole thing up and tried it on. Felt great. Problem is that it is complete garbage. The tool belt fabric tore on my first ride with it. Rocky Mountain replaced that. I now have 3 rides on the back pack and 2 on the new tool belt. They are both torn and falling apart. I'm going to have to go back to my 10 year old Camelback which, while stained and ugly, has no tears.
Do not buy this pack unless you want to use it only to walk around your house. Won't stand up to use on the trails.

NEW YORK (AP) - Jay-Z is now in the player agent business.
The rap mogul has been certified by the NBA players' association, spokesmen for the union and Roc Nation Sports said Thursday.
However, it's unclear exactly what he can do. He would have to sell his minor share of the Brooklyn Nets before he can represent players, according to NBA rules, and a Roc Nation spokesman wouldn't comment on whether that has been done.
The Sports Business Journal first reported Jay-Z's certification.
Jay-Z attended only a handful of Nets games this season, but had a major role in the rebranding of the team in its first season in Brooklyn, even debuting the team's black-and-white uniforms during one of his concerts. He is friendly with a number of sports superstars and could quickly make Roc Nation a force in the agency field.

Sections are used to group rules, actions, assets and assetgroups for each extension using the table jos_access_sections. This allows us to have completely separate ACL systems for different extensions.
These are users stored in jos_users table. Please note that gid and usertype fields are only there for legacy purposes and are not used in the current ACL system. Users can be mapped to rules via jos_user_rule_map table. In phpGACL, users were called AROs (Access Request Object).
User Groups
These are user groups that are held in table jos_usergroups. You can have nested user groups. Each group obviously can hold an unlimited number of users and each user can be assigned to an unlimited number of user groups. These relations are held in the table jos_user_usergroup_map. User groups can be mapped to rules via the jos_usergroup_rule_map table.
Actions are things your users will perform such as logging in to backend.
Assets are items that you need to set access control on. For example each article on your site can be an asset and you can set edit permission for them. Currently these are not used in core.
Asset Groups
These are used for creating different view permissions for a combination of usergroups. (???) How this is achieved:
- First a view action is created with access type 3. (eg. core.view)
- Then an asset group is created with some user groups in it.
- A rule is set with the name convention {action_name}.{asset_group_id} (eg. core.view.1 for Public)
- action, assetgroup and user groups are all mapped to this rule.
- When three of them map to the same rule then JUser::getAuthorisedLevels() will also return the new asset group id.
Rules are combinations of actions and usergroups (or users) and optionally assets. There are three types of rules:
- Type 1: These are rules that allow a user or user group to do an action. For example user group X can log in to backend.
- Type 2: These are rules that allow a user or user group to do an action on an asset. For example user group X can edit an article with the id of Y.
- Type 3: These are rules that allow a user or user group to do an action (mostly view) on an asset group. For example user group X can view articles with the asset group of Y. (???)
Core Access Levels
There are three access levels in core by default: Public, Registered, Special. These are access levels. For them we use the action core.view. Let's use Special for our example: First of all there is an asset group named Special. We need to tie some user groups to it and selecting Manager is enough. Because the system will automatically include its child groups (being Administrator and Super Administrator by default) The rule needed for this level is core.view.3. As you remember naming convention is action_name.asset_group_id and here our id is 3.
Database tables
It seems that this diagram has been deprecated in favor of much simpler structure.
- jos_assets: id, parent_id, lft, rgt, level, name, title, rules
- jos_usergroups: id, parent_id, lft, rgt, title
- jos_user_usergroup_map: user_id, group_id
- jos_viewlevels: id, title, ordering, rules
- jos_categories and jos_content contain foreign key asset_id
- Rules field is a JSON encoded string with content like this: '{"core.admin":{"7":1},"core.manage":{"6":1}}'

Flak jackets are a form of padded protective clothing designed to provide at least partial protection from things such as blunt-force trauma, shrapnel and other projectiles. This can be seen when it protected Iruka Umino from kunai and fūma shuriken during his search for Naruto and the Scroll of Seals and was ambushed by Mizuki. They can also prevent lethal injuries from swords and other weapons as seen during Baki's fight with Hayate Gekkō. For the most part, they have superseded the plate armour worn by shinobi during the Era of the Warring States and the First Shinobi World War. They are usually worn by chūnin and jōnin over their normal clothing in most villages, although the design varies among the villages and have also changed over time. The jackets are among the most iconic pieces of shinobi equipment. Most of them have pockets or scroll pouches, which can be used to store scrolls, weapons, and supplies. This allows a ninja to access them quickly and/or quietly with only one hand, as seen with Kakashi Hatake's case when he normally does this secretly to extract a kunai.
- In episode 190 of Naruto: Shippūden, Iwagakure genin are seen wearing flak jackets.
- Several genin in Sunagakure such as Matsuri and Ittetsu have been seen wearing flak jackets. This may be due to the fact that that Sunagakure has a very low population (two out of five stars) but needs to maintain a strong military to maintain its place within the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
- While flak jackets weren't widely adopted until prior to the Second Shinobi World War, the Gold and Silver Brothers as well as the Second Raikage were seen wearing modern flak jackets during the lifetime of the Second Hokage (who wore plate armour and lived up until the First Shinobi World War).

Review Details
Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump
- Product Review (submitted on February 18, 2011):
- I absolutely LOVE this pump! One of the OBGYN's I saw recommended it. I was a little nervous about it at first because so many people I know have Medela pumps, and no one else I talked to had used this pump. I had a Medela with my first child and wanted a second pump so that I didn't have to bring it back and forth to work and could keep one there and one at home. So currently I use the Medela at home and the Ameda at work. I definitely prefer the Ameda and am so glad I bought this instead of another Medela. This one was so much less expensive and I just use my own bag for it, and this is the one I use the most. I would highly recommend this pump to anyone!! I work full time and pump 2x a day and it's fast and comfortable and works great. You won't be sorry if you purchase this pump.

Curse of Hatred
this wiki
The Curse of Hatred (憎しみの呪い, Nikushimi no Noroi), is an ideal that is said to have been passed down from the Uchiha clan's forefather to his many descendants. The origins of this way of thinking can be traced back to the time of the Sage of the Six Paths, when on his deathbed the forefather of ninja chose to name his younger son his successor over his older son, despite the elder's supposed birthright. The Sage chose the child he thought most suitable to continue his legacy (the younger, who believed love necessary to achieve peace, over the elder, who sought power to bring peace). Consumed by hatred and envy after their father's death, the elder son waged war against his brother, and began a cycle of conflict that transcended time and culminated in mutual hostility between the brother's descendants, the Uchiha and the Senju.[1]
As was revealed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha are a people greatly devoted to love and friendship. Ironically, this same loyalty has caused the downfall of many members of the clan throughout the ages. Because the Uchiha tend to conceal their more affectionate traits, a member's love can be transformed into hatred in the blink of an eye if they somehow lose those closest to them. The despair of the experience causes a manifestation of unique chakra within that Uchiha's brain, impacting the optic nerves and creating the Sharingan, which Tobirama literally referred to as "the eye that reflects feelings". Furthermore, the techniques known to cause more advanced development of the Sharingan require extremely painful experiences that cause the user to delve into darkness that utterly consumes them.[2]
As an Uchiha delves into the darkness of the Curse of Hatred, even the slightest hint or mention of anything even remotely connected to the person whose death caused them to lose themselves will make them extremely angry and emotional, as was seen in the cases of Madara, Obito and Sasuke Uchiha. Also, after having delved, an Uchiha cannot be reasoned with by anyone except the person who originally caused them to do so. Only that person has any chance of saving the Uchiha from the curse, as was seen in the case of Sasuke Uchiha. Although, Sasuke resolved to protect Konoha, thanks to Itachi, he seems to have some trace of the curse left in him as seen in his uncooperative nature in dealing with the Ten-Tails, suggesting that the Curse can even twist an Uchiha with good intentions.
Over the years, there have been several Uchiha who managed to transcend the limitations of acting only for the sake of the clan, and instead valuing Konoha as a whole. Uchiha including Kagami — a subordinate of the Second Hokage, his son Shisui, and Shisui's best friend, Itachi, all inherited the village's will to care and care for its continued well-being.[3]
Madara Uchiha is a prime example of a strong inheritor of the Curse of Hatred. Prior to the founding of the Konoha, he waged war against the Senju and its leader Hashirama for many years. Madara refused to relinquish his hatred for the Senju after being forced to take and transplant his beloved brother's eyes in order to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Unsure how long the Uchiha's standing in the Konoha would last after the Second Hokage replaced the First, Madara sowed seeds of contempt amongst his brethren, swearing that they would surely lose their partnership with the Senju if they did not help him.
Though Madara was exiled by his clan for attempting to disrupt the peace they had all worked hard to achieve with the Senju, generations later, a few members finally took heed of his warning. It was too late, however, as the Uchiha were no longer in a position of power due to the Second Hokage's attempts to thwart the Curse by designating the Uchiha to the Konoha Military Police Force in order to regulate their emotions. Despite Tobirama's efforts, the Curse was fully rekindled after all when Obito Uchiha witnessed the death of Rin Nohara. Rin's death influenced Obito to orchestrate the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, which resulted in the Uchiha plotting to take over the village after being unjustly accused of setting the demon on Konoha. This led to the annihilation of the entire Uchiha clan at the hands of Itachi Uchiha, which caused Sasuke Uchiha's quest to avenge his family's death by killing Itachi years later. As noted by Obito Uchiha, Sasuke's vengeful pursuit of those even remotely responsible for his clan's demise eventually caused him to become the sole inheritor of the Uchiha clan's hatred, fated to clash against Naruto Uzumaki, the inheritor if the Senju's Will of Fire.[4] Questioning his resolve, Sasuke later has Orochimaru reincarnate the previous Hokage, from whom he comes to learn the full nature of the Curse of Hatred. Having also learned about the origins and history of Konohagakure, Sasuke chooses to honour his brother's sacrifice and protect the village rather than destroy it.

Court-martialed and stripped of his rank, Irwin has been sentenced to the maximum security military prison, which is run with an iron fist by its warden, Colonel Winter. Winter can't help but respect the once-legendary general, but it isn't long before that respect turns to resentment and then open hostility as Irwin continually confronts the warden on his methods. Setting out to break Irwin by whatever means necessary, the colonel's tactics only fuel Irwin's defiance and cause the other prisoners to rally behind the general in his new mission: to seize control of the prison and remove Winter from his co...

What you said about health insurance coverage for people with mental illness
TRIAD's first nationwide survey of NAMI members showed that health insurance coverage continues to be a source of much stress and inequity for people with mental illness in America. Health insurance is a lifeline for many people with mental illness as expensive medications and numerous doctors' visits are commonly needed to manage their illness. Even though many of the individuals represented in the survey relied on public health insurance programs like Medicaid and Medicare, nearly as many—36 percent—had private health insurance policies, either self-paid or through their employers. Ten percent reported no health insurance coverage at all. The open-ended comments underlined the frustrations of many people with mental illness and their families with the policies of some private health insurance companies that restrict access to necessary care and stressed the need for federal parity in private health insurance.
A web-based survey of visitors to the NAMI website in August 2003 confirms that private health insurance coverage is critically important to many people living with a serious mental illness. Fifty people answered the questions on health insurance of which 57 percent were individuals with mental illness and 36 percent were family members or friends. The majority—56 percent—were covered by private health insurance provided through an employer, either part- or fully-paid, and an additional 18 percent had self-paid private health insurance. Almost one in five respondents had no insurance at all.
Although most of the respondents had private health insurance, the survey data reveals major problems with this industry. One quarter of respondents said they, or their loved one, had been denied private health insurance because of a mental illness, and of those that had private health insurance, only 17 percent said that it adequately covered the cost of mental health treatment. Disturbingly, 25 percent of respondents also said that they had been deterred from employment or moved to public health insurance programs such as Medicaid because of the lack of private health insurance coverage for mental illness treatment. Clearly discrimination in the field of private health insurance is a major problem within our nation's troubled mental health system.
Does the private health insurance that you or your loved one with a mental illness have adequately cover the costs of mental health treatment?
Many respondents to the web-based survey gave voice to their difficulties with private health insurance:
…. The amount allowed for mental health is ridiculous. Mental illness can be very expensive, but I have come to experience first hand how much more expensive it can be left untreated.
When my husband was working we were paying close to $400 every month to have the private insurance through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan. BCBSM only allowed $2000 LIFETIME for any and all mental health treatment. That was seriously inadequate and unfair.
Excellent insurance through employer partially paid insurance. The only thing we are learning is that since our loved one is on my group medical plan he then loses out in getting access to local subsized housing. The local mental health agency won't accept him since he has private insurance and not Medicaid. So the question is do you get adequete health care or your own housing? It puts a real burden on the parents and for the consumer who wants independance but is faced with making a decision between medical insurance or housing. We also are frustrated with the long waiting lists for section 8 housing
I am a working professional employee with mental illness that is now under control. My insurance limits my visits which severely restricted the number of weekly psycho-education sessions I could attend so I made the decision to go "private pay" to get the treatment I knew I needed to get my life back. This is so unfair. My therapist and psychiatrist made recommendations for treatment and I found out my insurance wouldn't cover the visits!! The insurance companys wouldn't even think of limiting the number of recommended radiation treatments for a cancer patient, would they? Just because it's a mental illness, they can get away with this. I paid $3,000 out-of-pocket in psychiatric, one-on-one therapy and group therapy visits last year to avoid hospitalization. What are people to do when they don't have the financial resources to do this? My husband and I both have professional jobs. I am so fortunate that there is parity when it comes to medications as my medication is on the higher end of the cost spectrum.
I have OCD, but my insurance will only pay for five sessions of therapy a year, so I can't really get help. Things got so bad that I needed to be put in the hospital, but the insurance company will only pay for two weeks of inpatient care in a lifetime. I'm not wealthy, so I can't afford to get the help I need without the insurance paying for most of it. The government really needs to do something about this.
I worked for local government for years but lost my job and could not afford private insurance…My current employer hires me as an independent contractor so I am not eligible for insurance. I receive county assistance for my medication, but I live in dread of a long-term hospitalization….I have always worked when I was well and refuse to go on disability because I believe I can work. However, the reality is that I and my son and others will probably be forced into further poverty without insurance.
I am a self-employed professional who had no problems with health insurance coverage, even after I changed to an "individual" plan. I had been insured through the same company under various plans for about 5 years. When parity was passed into law, they began denying coverage for medications they deemed "psychotropic". In other words, if my Neurontin was prescribed for epilepsy they would cover; since it was for bi-polar disorder, I was denied. I dropped the insurance and began self pay at a cost of $300 - $500 per month just for meds. Other factors, some directly related to my illness, have caused loss of income and I recently went to my public mental health agency for meds. I discover that, while the good news is that they have the most expensive drug in stock, they will not carry generic Adderall (only Ritalin - which I do not tolerate well) nor will they dispense Alprazolam (generic Xanax). It has taken me over 3 years to find the right med mix to allow me to continue in my profession in a competent manner. I can no longer do so. My ability to earn a living is now seriously jeopardized in largest part because of my insurer's insistence that they need not honor parity for "individual" plans. Further, although companies will not say so, if they hire you, they know their group's rates will increase so they tend to pass you over or offer you a lower salary to compensate.
I live in Washington state where there is not only no parity for mental health coverage but there isn't a single individual policy in the state that covers mental health any longer. I have recurrent major depression and in the past I had employer paid health insurance and was often able to obtain fairly good care (althought it is very hard to leave during the day). Even though I have been without a job for almost a year now I have kept my medical insurance because if I lose it I will be required to fill out a form for new insurance that asks if you have a history of depression. If you do you score too many points to obtain regular insurance (even though they don't cover mental health ) and you are pushed into the high risk pool. There it can cost double what a regular policy does. (and I can't afford that). I honestly feel like this time around I won't be able to pull myself out without medication or counseling and I am so exhausted that its not even worth fighting anymore to get any sort of coverage when it all seems so hopeless. Clearly society blames people like me who struggle to live with a severe neuro-biological disorder since they won't cover the treatment but they will pay to treat preventable illnesses like lung cancer or heart disease? I wonder if I am really the "crazy" one sometimes.
Simple, not enough coverage! My son was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2000 at 16 years old. He was dropped from coverage at 18 years old because he does not attend school. He is without any coverage at this time. My son has been hospitalized 5 different times. Every time the hospital bill is at least $30,000.00. We are so far in debt I just don't think we will ever get out. I feel for those who have no coverage or family support. I do not know where my son would be if he did not have us to lean on.
Three years ago I was forced to quit my job because of my depression. I had been covered by group insurance through my employer until that time and assumed I would be able to obtain private health insurance after I quit work. I went ahead and terminated my employment based upon that assumption. It didn't take too long to find out that I was "uninsurable" according to 4 different insurance companies. I have no option but to keep the insurance offered through my former employer - at the premium rate of $1088.00 per month. Now, 3 years later, I made the decision to purchase long term care insurance. I am 57 and thought it a good idea to obtain the nursing home insurance before I got older when the premiums would be higher. I applied to 2 different companies and was denied coverage by both because of my history of depression. Trying to understand why health insurance wasn't available to me is no comparison to the frustration and desperation I feel by not even being able to obtain long term care insurance. It's as if the insurance industry considers persons with depression or other types of mental disorders as 2nd class citizens or worse. I certainly think something should be done to cure this inequity in the health insurance industry.
Simply stated... I am uninsurable. I can not get private insurance and because I want to work, I am unable to get medical. I either choose to drop out of society to get help from the state or live in poverty to pay for my doctors and meds.
We have a maximum of 20 visits per year to a mental health professional (psychologist and psychiatrist. This is very inadequate. Mental health parity is a MUST...when is it coming to the millions who suffer a mental illness?
Thanks to all who shared their experiences with us.

Garlic Butter Naan...!!!Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Breads N Rotis N Nans
My post on garlic butter naans was pending from last few months so i am posting it today. This naans are very easy and worth a try.They are perfect to enjoy with hot veg or non veg gravy of your choice.
- 200 grams flour(maida)
- 2 tea spoons of active dry yeast
- 2 table spoons of yogurt
- 2 table spoons of fresh course garlic paste
- 2 tea spoons of oil
- 2 table spoon of butter
- 1 tea spoon sugar
- 3 tea spoons of chopped corainder leaves
- salt
Take 2 table spoons if warm water in a bowl, add sugar in it and mix well. Add yeast and close it and keep for 10 mins.Then bubbles will come and the mixture will rise.Take the flour in a big bowl, add the yeast mixture, salt,yogurt, 1 table spoons of garlic paste, oil and kned it using water if required to a nice soft dough.Kned it well for atleast 5 mins.
Take the dough ball and keep it in a warm place for 2 hours, thn the dough becomes double in volume.Now make balls from this dough and roll them into long medium thick naans. They have to be 3-4mm thick approx.
Heat a griddle or tawa(preferably cast iron one).Mix garlic paste and butter and make a mixture.Apply this mixture evenly to each rolled naan.Put each naan on hot tawa,it should be very very hot. Then the naan will start bubbling on top and get golden brown spots on the bottom.Now take the naan and put the uncooked side directly on the gas flame as we do for phulkas.Keep it for few seconds until u get charred spots.
Remove it from flame. Garnish with chopped corainder and serve hot with gravy of your choice.
NOTE: You can make plain naans similarly without using the butter-garlic paste.

In the costly war of attrition on crime and injustice, the spiritual crusade is usually the option of choice after all other recourses have been tried but to avail.
Pie Ntukamanzina, Archbishop of the Bujumbura Diocese of the Anglican Church of Burundi, acknowledges this fact and is determined to see greater efforts made to sweep society clean of crime and injustice.
That these vices are among the factors constituting the roots of poverty amidst plenty is no longer subject to debate – and John F Kennedy aptly stated half a century ago that if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it also automatically cannot save the few who are rich.
The gist of the high-profile cleric's message of good hope is that it is incumbent upon the clergy across the globe "to lead their followers towards attaining ethical values" as one of the surest ways of rooting out corruption and other anti-social behavior and practices.
Tanzanians have an immense lot to learn from the Burundi cleric's clarion although it is well known that the word he is preaching is not the first of such summons.
This is particularly considering that it is common practice in our country for religious leaders to address or otherwise add weight to even the most secular of ceremonies by reiterating the importance of leading lives that value and have respect for human dignity and the rights of the individual.
The cleric says Africa is the midst of a serious crisis in that it is faced crippling problems resulting from the high and stubborn incidence and prevalence of corruption, poverty and a leadership that many find badly wanting.
He does not start and end with lamentations with a bearing on the existence of these stumbling blocks on the road towards meaningful social, cultural and economic development.
Rather, he stands convinced that religious leaders are vested with unique powers that could be easily harnessed to build morally upright and therefore God-fearing individuals, families or households, communities and, by logical progression, nations.
Yes, religious leaders ought to feel obliged to play a central role in so "taming their flocks" as to build nations that together form a world community where sense means sense and there is no chance of ethical, cultural and other values being turned upside-down and still that being taken as the normal way things should go.
To be fair, law-enforcement agents has been working hard often in collaboration with the larger public to make our country an increasingly better place to live. Yet, it would be foolhardy arguing that such interventions have turned Tanzania into a crime-free zone.
We are no strangers to the sad fact that some elements in our very midst just won't reform and continue perpetrating all manner of criminal and other abhorrent activities and practices as if they don't know or care about the penalties doing so attracts.
We should count ourselves very fortunate seeing that, despite all odds, there are still people in their hundreds if not thousands determined to use dialogue to help end the decadence threatening to strangle us. They both need and deserve public support.

The East African Community needs to sustain its financial markets in order to make it operate with more efficiency, Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda, Claver Gatete has said.
Presenting a paper at a two-day regional conference on financial sector integration organised by the EAC Secretariat in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund in Arusha recently, he said for financial markets to improve their competence they need to do many things.
They have to put a stable macroeconomic environment which is fundamental in promoting cross-border investment because of fluctuating interest rates and exchange rates, he said.
The other measure is to have effective regulatory framework and institutional investors (insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds and unit trusts) to provide more benefits to the market, he added.
According to him, financial disclosure and timely information play an important role in the evaluation and monitoring of the financial sector soundness, he said.
EAC need for more well trained professionals such as dealers, brokers, investment managers, security analysts is another aspect, he said.
Governor Gatete said effective tax policies are needed to treat incomes of all types of investments and savings fairly.
However he said domestic debt markets in the region still face problems in meeting international standards.
"They are characterized by short term maturities, low savings rates, underdeveloped bond markets, illiquid secondary markets and limited investor base," he noted.
"They are characterized by short term maturities, low savings rates, underdeveloped bond markets, illiquid secondary markets and limited investor base," he noted.
According to him, stock markets are viewed as a medium to encourage savings, improve the efficiency and productivity of investments.
He added that secondary markets are illiquid and do not exist in some countries while bond markets are dominated by government bonds and very few corporate issuances.
EAC financial markets integration is identified as one of the key pillars of establishing the region's monetary union.
Its objectives are to contribute to mobilisation of domestic savings and investments, efficient allocation of resources, which contribute to accelerate economic growth increase competition and innovation, and harmonised regional laws and institutions.
The integration of EAC capital markets began in 1997 with the establishment of the East African Securities Regulators Association (EASRA).

Contributed by John Huggins, Executive Director, Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center, UC Berkeley
As the more accessible methods for micro energy (microwatt-hour to watt-hour) harvesting and storage become commercialized, the research community will focus on extremes in efficiency and cost breakthroughs and exploration of entirely new methods and applications. Make no mistake; there is plenty of exciting new ground to be covered! We will in this session profile the space of current and anticipated micro energy harvesting needs and approaches suitable for sensing, computing, and communications.
The Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center will conduct this afternoon- through- evening conference and reception at the Leeds Certified Green David Brower Center on the edge of the beautiful UC Berkeley campus on Wednesday March 9th.
Applications Drivers: Energy Consumption in Communicating Sensor Networks
Will radical reductions in power requirements of wireless radios and integrated sensors and processors make energy "harvesting" ubiquitous, or unnecessary? Application requirements, hardware trends, and protocol efficiency will be discussed in the context of energy harvesting solutions.
Advanced Sensing Technology for Harsh Environments
Present and future research directions for harsh environment telemetry will be discussed in this presentation. Using the application of sensors in geothermal power plants as a focus, a comprehensive research program will be described for the development of sensors, telemetry, energy harvesting, materials, packaging and bonding. Aluminum Nitride and Silicon Carbide material technologies (as well as other related material technologies) will be described.
Energy Harvesting and Sensing for the Power Grid
BSAC work on energy harvesting and wireless sensors for the Smart Grid will be discussed. The current situation of sparse deployment of expensive sensors for even basic electrical parameters and without ability to quickly locate faults, and with no way of predicting future faults will be addressed by these technologies. As renewable but rapidly fluctuating wind and solar power sources are connected, the sensing and actuation situation will become critical.
Small, hermetically sealed, meso-scale and MEMS-based lightweight sensors and scavengers with the goal of increase in the granularity of sensing and the controllability of our power grids. Some of these devices involve piezo-magnetic harvesting, MEMS-on-glass manufacture and packaging, and scavengers that draw the small amount of energy they need from the power lines themselves. They will include new methods for extending the usable life of piezoelectric members.
Cost Effective and Efficient Microphotovoltaics
Solar energy presents a viable candidate for fossil fuel replacement. In this regard, developing technologies for $1/W installed PV system is needed. The choice of materials and cell architecture, the cost and abundance of the raw materials, the component manufacturing costs, the cell design and framework, the capital cost, and the installation costs are all important contributing factors to the final cost. Although there is considerable current focus on the absorber materials and the required deposition processes, the rest of the cell, including transparent conductors, texturing, optical coatings, etc., and reliability are equally important. All of these are fundamentally materials related problems and progress requires an interdisciplinary approach drawing on materials science, chemistry, applied physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, however, significant challenges exist in developing efficient and low cost systems that are scalable to small formats and small capacities (micropower) as well as to commercial scale (kilowatts to megawatts).
Micro Energy Storage
Micro energy storage is indispensable for energy harvester systems. Energy generation from various resources is required to be stored and released when the power is needed. Two systems are commonly known in the macroscale systems: battery and supercapacitors. This talk will provide efforts in micro energy storage systems including high power density supercapacitors with high energy storage capability and nanostructure-based micro batteries.
Biologically-Inspired Scavenging Technologies
Recent developments focusing on two very different bio-inspired energy harvesting Microsystems will be discussed. The first, in collaboration with CFD Corporation, is a miniaturized electrochemical system for harvesting energy from an insect's reactions with the sugar trehalose. The system is being designed to produce 100's of uW's in a compact footprint, suitable for powering instrumentation on a cyborg insect. A similar system is being studied for mammalian implants. The second topic will briefly discuss developments in the scavenging of power from evaporation and low pressure head flows, including our work on microscale boundary-layer turbines (so-called Tesla turbines), a topic which has applications beyond scavenging.
Panel and Mixing Reception
The topics are certain to generate interest if not some controversy among the audience and speakers. An extended reception and mixing event will allow continuation of the discussions and renewal of prior and establishment of new connections among practitioners, students, and investors of impacted applications.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by nutsky Wish I Could Buy in Local Stores Sonoma Jacks cheese is wonderful, especially the Garlic Herb variety. I just wish Frederick, MD stores carried the spread, or World Market had a store here. It could be easier to use rather than having it in individual servings - not easy to use at a gathering.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- This week we're highlighting National Teen Safe Drivers Week. Someone is doing something a little different to create road safety awareness.
Snap 2 Live is a fashion belt created by philanthropist Ernesto Arguello. The vintage accessory was a huge hit at a recent youth leadership conference in the District.
"What a better place to launch it and introduce than with you guys, all the leaders in different communities, and with the goal of making this world a better place," said Arguello.
He added, "By just wearing the belt you're becoming a spokesperson. People are going to ask you, it's eye-catching, it's a very engaging accessory."
"It's a great idea, and it's showing to teenagers that we are in this world and this is a problem. Buckle our seatbelts and we can live," said FCCLA National President and Deep Run H.S. senior Brian Will.
Drivers and passengers who buckle up are 50 percent more likely to survive a car accident.
The belt is $30 and 70% of the profits go to charities such as road safety efforts by IDB and the Decade of Action for Road Safety. It's available at snap2live.com. The belt is unisex and comes in many different colors.
Ernesto Arguello has also put a pledge on the box along with five safe driving tips.

Guidelines and cooking tips
Chunky Fun Sun Fruit Sauce
4 c. diced, peeled fruit or berries (half should be apple, up to 1 cup can be rhubarb)
1-4 tablespoons raw sugar or other natural sweetener
juice of ½ lemon
¼ teaspoon cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1-2 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca, if using berries or juicy summer fruits
This will fit in a one-quart cooking jar and makes about three cups once the fruit relaxes. Easily multiplied for larger cooking vessels. You can use any type of cooker for this, but keep an eye on jars in a panel cooker and pull them out if syrup begins to boil over so they won't overcook. Box ovens give the most delicate flavor, but I've made very good fruit sauce in panel cookers. Easily multiplied for larger pot or jar.
Mix ingredients or layer into cooking vessel. Cover and bag if needed. Put in solar cooker in sun until fruit relaxes. Stir, taste, and add more sweetening if needed. Enjoy warm, room temperature, or cold, as a side dish (delicious alongside pork or chicken or a fresh garden quiche) or for breakfast or dessert. Leftovers can be frozen for a taste of summer when winter winds blow. Healthy and versatile! By SharonID.

Mkanyageni MP Mohamed Mnyaa (CUF) yesterday pressed the government to provide a schedule for the construction and maintenance of houses for police and prison officers.
In his supplementary question, Mnyaa said the MPs had been raising many questions in relation to the construction and maintenance of the officers' houses but the government had been giving unsatisfactory answers.
"This question has been asked by MPs several times and the minister has been giving similar answers. I want him to provide us with a concrete schedule for the contraction and maintenance of these houses," Mnyaa said.
Responding to that, Home Affairs Deputy Minister ambassador Khamis Kagasheki said his ministry was organising itself so that it could repair all police and prison officers' houses by 2015.
In the basic question, Special Seats MP Maua Daftari (CCM) had wanted to know when the government would repair prison buildings in Laini Wete and the houses for police officers.
Kagasheki said the government was planning to repair and construct new houses for police officers across the country.
He said by 2015 the government would have repaired all police houses including those in Laini Wete.
Kagasheki said in Laini Wete the police were residing in seven houses and there was no house that had been sold.
In another question, Tarime MP Nyambari Nyangwine (CCM) had wanted to know when the government would construct houses for police officers in Tarime/Rorya Special Police Zone.
Kagasheki replied that the government had a programme of improving the houses for police officers countrywide depending on the availability of funds.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - The latest attempt to make helmet use mandatory for all Maine motorcyclists is going before a legislative committee.
The Transportation Committee takes up Rep. Paulette Beaudoin's bill Tuesday afternoon. The Biddeford Democrat introduced a similar bill in 2009, but it was rejected.
Current law requires people under 18 years of age to wear a helmet when operating or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle. The law also requires helmet use by those operating under a learner's permit or within one year of completing a driving test, and any passengers.
The federal government says 19 states have universal motorcycle helmet laws, which apply to everyone. In New England, they include Massachusetts and Vermont.
Maine passed a law requiring the use of helmets in 1967, but it was repealed in 1977.

Belize Summer holiday weather is tops
Belize is blessed with one of the best climates in the world. The yearly temperature is around 84° F (29°C) without much fluctuation between seasons. During even the hottest summer months, coastal sea breezes and Belize's large tracts of jungle and rainforests provide cooling relief. Instead of four seasons, Belize really only has two – the wet and the dry. And while they both have their charms, I like the wet, which runs roughly from June through December – things are greener, the jungles more lush and the typically short summer afternoon rains are refreshing.

In the Era of Big Boxes, a Day for the Little Guy
It began quietly, as an email to 40 friends. But when a steady stream of customers began coming through the door before the family-owned Chagrin Hardware had even opened for the day on Saturday, it was clear that it had turned into much more than that. Hundreds of supporters of the family-owned business flocked to the store all day long, spending money in a veritable "Cash Mob."

Gov. Paul LePage today unveiled a plan to grow Maine's economy by paying off the $186 million it owes to hospitals for MaineCare services, and releasing bonds recently approved by voters for transportation improvements, conservation and construction at post-secondary education institutions. The entire plan hinges on passage of emergency legislation to allow the state to take over operatonal control of liquor sales beginning next year. Susan Sharon has more.
Gov. LePage campaigned on the theme of having the state pay its bills. He's already taken steps to reform the state's hospital reimbursement system, ensuring that hospitals are paid as they provide MaineCare services. But he says it hasn't gone far enough. A $484-million debt remains.
Under the governor's new plan, the state would pay $186 million to the hospitals, which would trigger a nearly $300 million federal match.
"We are putting a proposal forward, to use the future liquor revenues to fund a bond issue so we can pay our hospitals once and for all," LePage said today.
What that means is, beginning next year, when the current 10-year private contract for liquor sales expires, the state will get back into management of the liquor business that it gave up in 2004.
Gov. LePage says he estimates liquor sales are worth about $30 million a year. Those future sales would be uses as collateral for a revenue bond that would be used to pay back the hospitals. This is different than a general bond which is backed by the credit of the State.
LePage says that's why he has refused to release voter authorized bonds. This strategy, he says, gives him more comfort and should give the credit rating agencies more comfort too. "The number one issue that the rating agencies have is that we don't pay our bills," he said. "Once we pay our bills and we get this long-term liability off the books, then we can sell the bonds with a lot more comfort that we won't be losing our credit rating."
With the Legislature's approval, the governor says he would issue voter-authorized bonds, including a $51.5-million bond for transportation improvements, and $53.5 million for conservation, clean water upgrades and construction at post-secondary education institutions.
In addition, the governor has proposed a $100-million bond for construction of new correctional facilities.
"I think what we're really seeing now is the beginning of the process," says House Republican Leader Ken Fredette, of Newport. Fredette was on hand for the governor's news conference at the University of New England, where construction of a new dental school is underway. UNE would be the beneficiary of $3.5 million when the bonds are sold.
"It's a very serious proposal," Fredette says. "It's something that's in the best interest of the people of the state of Maine for jobs and for quality health care, and I think it's something that's going to get a lot of traction and should be passed soon."
Lawmakers are still digesting the plan, which was only released Tuesday afternoon. But Democratic Senate President Justin Alfond of Portland says his early read is that it's thin on details.
"The liquor contract numbers don't add up," Alfond says. "And I think it's our responsibility as elected leaders to look at everything very carefully to get the best deal for the state of Maine."
Alfond says no one is suggesting that the state should not pay back the hospital debt. He says the questions are: How can that best be done, and how can lawmakers ensure that new revenues are used wisely?
Alfond refused to reject the plan outright, but he says there are big risks to borrowing against Wall Street. Dozens of representatives from Maine hospitals and members of Maine's business community attended the governor's announcement. Mark Curtis is general manager for Gorham Sand and Gravel, a local construction company. He says it's a great time for Maine to make this kind of investment.
"It really does two things: It puts that money into the economy and into the hands of the construction companies and into the hands of the people that work for the construction companies," Curtis says. "Because that's the important part, and the return on investment is huge."
The governor is hoping that with enactment of his emergency legislation, hospitals could receive their payments and general bonds could be sold within a matter of months.

Initializing the ODBC Environment
The first task for any ODBC application is to initialize the ODBC environment by allocating an environment handle (SQL_HANDLE_ENV):/* Allocate environment handle */ if ( SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &henv ) == SQL_ERROR ) { printf( "Failed to allocate environment handle\n" ); . . . }
Before an application allocates a connection, it should declare the version of ODBC that it has been written for (this mainly affects SQLSTATE values and datetime data types), and then allocate a connection handle:/* Set the ODBC version environment */ SQLSetEnvAttr( henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (SQLPOINTER)SQL_OV_ODBC3, SQL_IS_INTEGER ); /* Allocate connection handle */ if ( SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_DBC, henv, &hdbc ) == SQL_ERROR ) { printf( "Failed to allocate connection handle\n" ); . . . }
Making a Connection
After an ODBC data source has been defined, ODBC applications can connect to Mimer SQL by using the data source name.
There are a number of mechanisms to get the information required to make a connection; some applications supply the connection details, others use the ODBC dialog box to allow the user to complete the information.
The simplest form of connection uses SQLConnect, which requires a data source name, user ID and password, for example:SQLRETURN retcode; . . . /* Set connection timeout - 10 seconds */ SQLSetConnectAttr( hdbc, SQL_LOGIN_TIMEOUT, (SQLPOINTER)10, 0 ); /* Connect - DSN, User ID, Password */ retcode = SQLConnect( hdbc, (SQLCHAR*) "EXAMPLEDB", SQL_NTS, (SQLCHAR*) "MIMER_ADM", SQL_NTS, (SQLCHAR*) "admin", SQL_NTS ); if ( retcode == SQL_SUCCESS || retcode == SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO ) { /* User connected */
SQLDriverConnect allows the driver to connect by supplying the connection information as a number of keyword-value pairs:"DSN=EXAMPLEDB;UID=MIMER_ADM;PWD=admin;"
There is an option for the Driver Manager to enter into a dialog with the user to complete any missing connection information (the handle of the parent window needs to be supplied to use this facility).
In the following example, the Driver Manager displays a window containing a combo box listing all the Mimer SQL database names and prompts for the user name and password:SQLCHAR OutConnectString[256]; SQLSMALLINT StringLength; . . . retcode = SQLDriverConnect( hdbc, hwnd, (SQLCHAR*) "DRIVER=Mimer;", SQL_NTS, (SQLCHAR*)OutConnectString, sizeof(OutConnectString), &StringLength, SQL_DRIVER_COMPLETE ); if (SQL_SUCCEEDED(retcode)) { /* User connected */ printf( "connection string used: %s\n, OutConnectString );
Note: The macro SQL_SUCCEEDED replaces the test against SQL_SUCCESS or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.
Controlling Interaction with the User
You may wish to have more control over the interaction with the user, SQLDataSources provides a mechanism to get information about the data sources configured on the client:SQLCHAR DSNname[SQL_MAX_DSN_LENGTH+1]; SQLCHAR driver[33]; . . . /* Enumerate the system data source names */ retcode = SQLDataSources( henv, SQL_FETCH_FIRST_SYSTEM, (SQLCHAR*)DSNname, sizeof(DSNname), NULL, SQLCHAR*)driver, sizeof(driver), NULL ); while (SQL_SUCCEEDED(retcode)) { printf( "%-32s %s\n", DSNname, driver ); // Display details /* Fetch next */ retcode = SQLDataSources( henv, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, (SQLCHAR*)DSNname, sizeof(DSNname), NULL, (SQLCHAR*)driver, sizeof(driver), NULL ); }
Connecting Using a File Data Source
Another way of making a connection is to create a file data source. The file has a .dsn extension and contains the keyword-value pairs to make the connection.
Although it is possible to include the password, this would make the system insecure and therefore has little to recommend it:[ODBC] DSN=EXAMPLEDB UID=MIMER_ADM
To make a connection using a file data source, use the option for the Driver Manager to enter into a dialog with the user to complete any missing connection information (again, the handle of the parent window needs to be supplied to use this facility):retcode = SQLDriverConnect( hdbc, hwnd, (SQLCHAR*) "FILEDSN=example.dsn;", SQL_NTS, (SQLCHAR*)OutConnectString, sizeof(OutConnectString), &StringLength, SQL_DRIVER_COMPLETE ); if (SQL_SUCCEEDED(retcode)) { /* User connected */
Determining Driver and Data Source Capabilities
After connection to the database, use SQLGetInfo to determine the capabilities of the driver and the data source associated with the connection:/* Display DBMS version details */ SQLGetInfo( hdbc, SQL_DBMS_VER, (SQLPOINTER)&str_value, sizeof(str_value), &str_len ); printf( "%s\n", str_value ); /* Display SQL conformance level */ SQLGetInfo( hdbc, SQL_SQL_CONFORMANCE, (SQLPOINTER)&int_value, sizeof(int_value), NULL ); if (int_value & SQL_SC_SQL92_ENTRY) printf( "Entry level SQL-92\n" ); if (int_value & SQL_SC_FIPS127_2_TRANSITIONAL) printf( "FIPS 127-2 transitional level\n" ); if (int_value & SQL_SC_SQL92_INTERMEDIATE) printf( "Intermediate level SQL-92\n" ); if (int_value & SQL_SC_SQL92_FULL) printf( "Full level SQL-92\n" );´</pre>
When the application has finished using a data source, it calls SQLDisconnect.
After disconnecting, the application should call SQLFreeHandle to release the connection handle and, if appropriate, to release the environment handle.

Antiarrhythmics for Congenital Heart Defects
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Dilantin, Phenytek
|Inderal, Innopran
How It Works
Antiarrhythmic medicines act on the electrical system of the heart. They block some of the extra electrical activity in the cells of the heart. This makes the heart beat regularly.
How Well It Works
Antiarrhythmic medicines help control irregular heartbeats. They do not treat the congenital heart defect itself.
Side Effects
Antiarrhythmic medicine side effects are specific to each type of medicine. Your child's doctor will check your child closely for serious side effects such as an abnormal heart rate problem.
Ask your child's doctor or pharmacist about the side effects of your child's medicine. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after your child takes the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother your child and you wonder if he or she should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower the dose or change the medicine. Do not suddenly have your child quit taking your medicine unless your doctor says to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if your child has:
- Hives.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Do not stop giving antiarrhythmic medicine without the advice of your child's doctor. It is dangerous to stop some of these medicines suddenly.
Antiarrhythmic medicines might interact with many other medicines that your child might take. Tell your child's doctor all of the medicines that your child takes. Be sure to include nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and supplements.
Taking medicine
Know how to give your child's medicine safely. For help, see the topic Congenital Heart Defects: Caring for Your Child.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.
