In the story of reunification of this city after the fall of the Berlin Wall, even pedestrian symbols on traffic lights have a stirring chapter. While former East Berliners watched the west sweep in with a massive restoration and rebuilding drive, they drew the line when it came to their pedestrian stop and go figures.Berlin photo gallery
The former German Democratic Republic may have had a dour image, but its traffic light figures - called Ampelmann - are endearing beside their stiff West Berlin counterparts. Designed by a psychologist, the pudgy child-like symbols became an icon of east nostalgia - like the wheezy Trabant car - and a "Save the Ampelmann" movement arose to roll back western traffic signal imperialism.More to World Cup than soccer
The unified city now replaces broken west traffic men with their cuddly eastern cousin, said an official of a Berlin design firm that copyrighted the symbol.
The Ampelmann's form and image is used on lamps, cookie cutter molds, bookends and every imaginable object sold in the firm's stores around Berlin.
With that, the last sign to distinguish former east from west Berlin is flickering out almost a generation after the fall of the Wall, reunification of the Germanys and the restoration of Berlin as Germany's capital.
Now Berlin is one big city (population 3.4 million), roaring ahead in constant change and reinvention, as it likes to say.
Destroyed during the Second World War, then divided by the Cold War, the latest reinvention involved engaging world-famous architects who created some of its leading tourist attractions - a dome on the Reichstag building giving a view of Berlin; the enormous cultural, retail and office development at Potsdamer Platz; and the Jewish Museum.
Its Golden '20s entertainment era was recaptured by the reopened Wintergarten and Friedrichstadtpalast variety theatres with shows combining song, dance and circus acts. Art and antiquities museums that lay behind the wall for 30 years are being restored.
On a more intimate scale, streets in the former east have sparkled to life with cafes, bars, restaurants, art galleries and more.
Reflecting the pace of change, rollouts just this summer include a reopened German Historical Museum, a new main railway station, the revival of another variety theatre called Admiralpalast and the public opening of the lakeside villa of impressionist painter Max Liebermann on the bucolic fringes of Berlin.
Sports will also swell tourism as Germany plays host to soccer's 2006 World Cup, which kicked off yesterday and runs to July 9. Berlin has six matches including the championship game. Fans without tickets to the Olympic Stadium - built for Hitler's 1936 Olympics and recently refurbished - can watch games on large screens around the city.
With its great size and endless points of interest, Berlin can be daunting for a visitor. Tourist literature boasts that it has 175 museums, three opera houses, seven major orchestras, 130 theatres and 1,500 events a day.
For guidance, the Berlin-tourist-information website has a "sightseeing" section that plots city tours of from two hours to three days. It also traces circuits geared to families, gays and lesbians, seniors and persons nostalgic for the old GDR. The Ostalgia tour takes in the former East German secret police (Stasi) headquarters, socialist realist architecture along Karl Marx Allee and Alexanderplatz. Statues of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels stand unrepentant in a nearby square.
The one-day itinerary reflects how Berlin's main tourist lane has shifted to the former east, where Prussian kings and emperors created a neo-classical world. Centred in Mitte district, it runs along Unter den Linden, a tree-lined boulevard, from the Brandenburg Gate to the
UNESCO world heritage complex of museums on an island in the Spree River.
The Brandenburg Gate, modelled after a city gate of ancient Athens, was isolated in no-man's land during the Wall era. Now scrubbed clean, it is a magnet for mime artists, protesters, tourists and anyone seeking a photo backdrop that defines Berlin.
At the other end, Museum Island's image is defined by the Altes (old) Museum, a neo-classical gem with a facade 18 columns wide. Built in 1830 to display the king's art collection, it now houses Berlin's Egyptology collection, starring the famous bust of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti.
In between, some sights along Unter den Linden boulevard include Humboldt University (Einstein and Marx taught here), the Neue Wache memorial to the victims of war and tyranny, the Bebelplatz site of a Nazi book-burning of 1933 and the GDR parliament building now being dismantled. The GDR hammer and compass symbol will go to the German Historical Museum.
The classical wonderland also includes the Berlin Cathedral, a St. Peter's look-alike with an interior more ornate than Lutherans usually see. It could be mistaken as Catholic but for statues of such Protestant figures as Luther and Calvin.
South of Unter den Linden, Gendarmenmarkt is considered to be one of Europe's most beautiful squares with its domed German and French cathedrals facing each other and a theatre seemingly plucked from ancient Greece in between.
Besides seeing the main attractions, Berlin tourists should follow their noses along its endlessly entertaining streets with shops, cafes, restaurants - and doner kebob stands. Its many neighbourhoods are like separate worlds with their own interests.
A special neighbourhood is Prenzlauer Berg north of Mitte, a former East Berlin residential area for workers, students and artists active in the 1989 peaceful revolution. Its streets - especially Kastanien Allee and Kollwitz St. - are alive with cafes, sushi bars, yoga studios and more while retaining dim street lighting evocative of commie days.
The cafes are the kind you wish you had at home, with warm colours, candlelit tables, classy wall light fixtures and floor to ceiling windows. They have intellectual names like Cafe Godot or zany ones like ZaZa Cocktail bar.
Berlin's craze for happy hour cocktails is evident here, especially at CoCo Jungle, with a menu of 140 cocktails offered in a mock beach setting with sand on the floor trucked from the Baltic.
Prenzlauer Berg is well organized for tourists with a pamphlet produced by local businesses listing points of interest. It claims to have Berlin's oldest beer garden (since 1837), the Prater-Garten on Kastanien Alle.
South of Mitte, Kreuzberg is a colourful neighbourhood of Turkish immigrants. Parts of Oranien St., with its small shops and smoky bars where men sip clear liquids from small glasses, feels like the Main used to feel in Montreal. Bergmann St. to the south is more polished with cafes, bookstores and used clothing stores mixed in with Turkish groceries.
And don't forget former West Berlin centred on the Kurfuerstendamm, the elegant boulevard called the Champs Elysee of Berlin. Before the wall fell and the tour busses turned east, an essential Berlin experience was sitting at one of its outdoor cafes and sipping Berliner Weisse - a mix of wheat beer and coloured syrup.
Quieter now, the area has a pleasant old dowager feel. Especially dignified is Fasanenstrasse - crossing Kurfuerstendamm, or Ku'damm as Berliners call it - with its solid mansions and a charming garden cafe at the Literature House, where in April my girlfriend, Linda, and I sipped Riesling amid daffodils, azaleas and the gurgle of a pond fountain.
Nearby Savigny Platz is another West Berlin oasis of greenery with bookstores and restaurants on surrounding streets. The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, damaged in the Second World War, has been left unrepaired as a war memorial. Pre-war photos show a medieval looking multi-spired church at a splendid urban crossroads.
Shopping curiosities here include the KaDeWe department store with an entire floor dedicated to gourmet food (400 types of bread, 1,300 cheeses, etc.), and a weekend flea market just west of the Tiergarten park with records, toys, silver cutlery, brass door handles, mink coats, vintage jewellery, Jackie O. sunglasses and much more.
Berlin's dark past is on wide display. Sites include a list outside the KaDeWe store of concentration camps, a memorial beside the Reichstag to people killed fleeing East Berlin and, in the shadow of a rare slice of preserved Wall, the Topography of Terror, an outdoor photo exhibit documenting Gestapo evils.
The story of the Wall and its victims is told at the Wall Museum near the former site of Checkpoint Charlie, where westerners once crossed sweaty-palmed into East Berlin.
Berlin's newest grappling with the past is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a field of about 2,700 dark concrete blocks arranged in a grid. Information on Jewish victims and their extermination by Nazi Germany is given in an underground centre, while outdoors, walking the narrow undulating paths between the monuments is a haunting experience.
Despite the panic-inducing list of things to see - don't forget shows and museums - Berlin has quiet retreats worth a detour. One is the Dorotheen cemetery with luminaries such as philosopher George Hegel, playwright Bertolt Brecht and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the architect behind Berlin's main neo-classical buildings.
A small green space between the Nikolai church (Berlin's oldest, dating from 1300) is a good place to rest and contemplate a statue of a classical female figure stomping on a Prussian helmet.
But Berlin's chief retreat is the Tiergarten, 200 hectares of green space in the city centre. Despite a wide boulevard crossing it, the noise of the city falls away and you're left with ponds, birds, trees and flowers.
For Berlin tourist information: www.berlin-tourist-information. de/english
Getting there: There are no direct flights from Canada to Berlin. Take Air Canada to Frankfurt and Lufthansa (45-minute flight) to Berlin. Train from Frankfurt to Berlin takes four hours, but you avoid the risk being put on standby for your onward flight, as Lufthansa briefly did to me. By rail, you can overnight in Hanover or Goettingen and reach Berlin with less jetlag the next morning. Rail passes are available at www.raileurope.com.
Some hotels:
Hotel Adlon, the legendary Berlin hotel to royalty, politicians and stars like Michael Jackson, who famously dangled his baby over the balcony railing. Prime location on Unter den Linden near the Brandenburg Gate. Stop in for coffee and special Adlon cake in the lobby. Prices (at $1.42 Canadian to the euro) from $540 to $12,000 (for the presidential suite, with butler and limousine). www.hotel-adlon.de.
Maritim Hotel opened last year near Tiergarten park and the Kulturforum area with the Philharmonic Hall and several art museums. A 434-room business hotel, its public areas gleam with marble. Paintings of moody Golden '20s ladies adorn its bar. www.maritim.de.
Hotel Jurine, moderately priced and well located for enjoying Prenzlauer Berg. Back rooms have a garden view. Rooms $92-$213, depending on season. www.hotel-jurine.de.
Getting around: Berlin's network of subway (U-Bahn), city train (S-Bahn), streetcars and double-decker buses is so extensive that you need a magnifying glass to read some transit maps. A Welcome Card giving three days on the system costs $31. Taxis are not expensive.
Restaurants: Berlin's sentimental specialty food is currywurst, a sliced wiener dunked in a curry-ketchup sauce and eaten at a stand. German cooking is at Mutter Hoppe (Rathausstr 21) and Berlin's oldest restaurant, Zur Letzten Instanz (Waisenstr 14). Cafe Einstein (Kurfuerstenstr 58) is Viennese-style fare amid high ceilings and mirrored walls. Cafe Stresemann (Stresemannstr 90) is a classy bohemian cafe - and gathering spot for a Leonard Cohen Festival in Berlin Aug. 11-13. Doner kebab stands, sushi bars and Thai restaurants are everywhere.
Guidebooks: Knopf Mapguides Berlin is organized by neighbourhoods with fold-out maps and points of interest indicated. Eyewitness Top 10 travel guide is an attractive handbook to everything in Berlin.

Motionless in White's Chris Motionless Picks His Top Five Most Pissed-Off Records
Jason Le Miere | Nov 17, 2011 | Comments 17 | Tags: Bleeding Through, Chris Motionless, Eminem, Metallica, Motionless in White, Pantera, Slipknot
Motionless in White have just released their controversial new video for the track "Immaculate Misconception" (you can view it here), which sees the band graphically venting their frustrations at certain aspects of the Christian community. Clearly knowing a thing or two about artistic expressions of anger, frontman Chris Motionless has made us this list of his Top Five most pissed-off records. Here's what he came up with.
Pantera – Vulgar Display pf Power
"When I first heard this record and the song 'Fucking Hostile' I thought I got hit by a fucking train; so fast, so heavy and it lives up to its title perfectly. Not many bands make me want to mosh and stomp around my room like an asshole, but Pantera hits the nerve for me. ohhhhhh fucking hostileeeee!"
Metallica – …And Justice for All
"Master of Puppets may be my favorite Metallica record overall, but that doesn't disregard the fact that …And Justice for All is heavier than any other Metallica record made to date. This is the first album they made after the death of Cliff Burton and I feel like the anger and hatred in each song thrived off of how they were dealing with the loss. Honesty and sincerity of emotion through music makes a huge difference and if you can tell me one record out today that could compare to the rawness of …And Justice for All, I will gladly listen… then tell you to get it out of my fucking face."
Bleeding Through – Declaration
"It's so hard to pick which of Bleeding Through's records is the most pissed off because this band is, to me, the personification of 'Pissed.' But judging off of the feeling I get when I listen to any of their records, Declaration has me fired up more than the others. Bleeding Through is my most influential band in my life because of how deeply I relate to Brandan [Schiepatti's] lyrics. Declaration says it all."
Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP
"A lot of time in interviews people ask me, 'What's one band you listen to that people wouldn't expect?' My answer is always Eminem. If any one man has as much hatred for humanity as I do—not that I couldn't name 100—it's Eminem. His lyrics are pure genius and he knows damn well how to put emotion into his recordings. The hair on my entire body stands up when he gets to that point of every song where he might as well just be screaming with how fucking pissed he is. I back him forever.'
Slipknot – Slipknot
"When Slipknot first came out, I didn't get it. I was heavily into bands like Metallica and Maiden at the time and hearing a band with nine members playing such insane music didn't make sense. I never disliked them, I just didn't understand at first. I gave them another shot with a pair of headphones and my walkman CD player and HOLY. FUCK! When I heard 'Surfacing' I knew this band was a game changer for life. I was a young teenager and I hated the world and everyone in it. Slipknot did too and I gladly made myself a Maggot for life."

cross-posting, sorry if you see this more than once!
Hi all! Just had our LO's 15-month neuro development follow up this morning (29-weeker). She is doing really well and seems to be hitting milestones for her adjusted age. Yay! :) No real concerns from the specialist. They usually give us a few things to work on to help our LO progress and continue to catch up. One of the things they suggested today was to work with her on her speech / mimicking more words. Right now, she will say da-da and ma-ma once in a while, but she isn't really mimicking words much. Her comprehension is fine, and I know that every kid will speak at their own pace too, so I'm not terribly concerned either - but just looking for any tips or tricks that any of you may have used when working with your LOs on learning to talk! Thanks in advance!!!

Why Does This Nuclear Reactor Have a National Park Sign?
This is the historical X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Weirdly enough, it now has a National Park Service sign—but why?

Atom Central recently published these four unreleased videos of atomic bomb testing in 1955. The footage, taken from Operation Teapot at the test site in Nevada, is in glorious HD so it's pretty incredible but watch out for the blinding light. Even in a small little YouTube window, it hurts.
Because we all need a good dose of geopolitics in between sword fights, White Walkers, and boobs, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has a thorough analysis of all the ways dragons are just like nuclear weapons. It's actually a stunningly obvious comparison once you get down to it.
Kaboom. And fireball. And ground shake. And shockwave. And boom. AtomCentral shows us some amazingly clear HD footage restored from 1953 of the Atomic Cannon test from Upshot-Knothole Grable. In the video below, you can see cars, jeeps, buses and tanks against the backdrop of the ginormous blast's initial burst and…
Maybe you've seen the buffalo at Yellowstone, hiked Half Dome at Yosemite, and gotten one last look before everything melts at Glacier. So what's next? If lawmakers have their way, it could be splitting the atom at Atomic Bomb Park.
This picture, found in a Japanese Elementary School, depicts the mushroom cloud which formed when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
The Manhattan Project is among the most significant events in world history. There were those who came and went in the quest to create the first atomic bomb, but only one physicist quit for moral reasons: Józef Rotblat.
It's been 66 long years since the US leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs. The bombs, which killed over 200,000 people, left both cities in ruins. This is what the aftermath looked like in 360 degrees.
John Coster-Mullen drives trucks for a living in Wisconsin. His high school teacher had been a scientist on the Manhattan Project. While the two diverged professionally, their passions eventually aligned—nuclear bombs.
Not only has it destroyed the music business, but "it's going to destroy the movie business," too. Obviously Mellencamp has a new album he's pimping out (and headlines he's trying to grab), but the atomic bomb? Really, Mellencamp? [Reuters]
We're used to see atomic bombs images. From afar, they even look beautiful. But when one explodes near you, that immaculate light will burn your skin and make you bleed spontaneously. 65 years ago today, this is how that felt.

Does it make any sense for the federal government to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars on the expansion of the air reserve base in Vienna Township, only to turn around and reduce its operational capability? No, it doesn't. But that's what will occur unless decision-makers at the Defense Department change their minds.
What would prompt them to take another look at the reassignment of four C-130 cargo planes from the Youngstown Air Reserve Station's 910th Airlift Wing? The answer: A call from the White House.
There's a reason President Obama should take an interest in what's going on at the base: Politics.
In the last presidential election, Obama won Mahoning County with one of the highest vote percentages in the state: 63.1 percent of the 119,171 voters who cast ballots in 2012. His opponent, Republican Mitt Romney, didn't come close. Likewise, in 2008, Obama garnered 61.4 percent in Mahoning County in his race against Republican John McCain.
Elections have consequences, and the residents of the Mahoning Valley expect the president to show his appreciation for the support he has received — and continues to receive — from this predominantly Democratic region.
Indeed, as the titular head of the national Democratic Party, Obama can't be blind to the reality of the 2014 statewide election in which the Ohio Democratic Party is attempting to unseat Republican Gov. John Kasich and the statewide GOP officeholders.
In addition, the ever important congressional elections will take place against the backdrop of the highly controversial Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
Turnout in Mahoning and Trumbull counties will be key to the party's political fortunes next year.
The Youngstown Air Reserve Station is one of the most important cogs in the Mahoning Valley's economic wheel.
In addition to being home to the 910th Wing, the base also accommodates Navy and Marine units. In the 2012 Defense budget, the facility was authorized to have 1,348 Air Force reservists, 250 full-time Air Reserve technicians, 190 Air Force Department of Defense civilian employees and 184 Navy and Marine Corps members.
The base, adjacent to the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, has attracted millions of dollars in federal government investment — with good reason. The 910th Airlift Wing is the only fixed-wing aerial spray unit in the Defense Department.
The facility pumps $100 million a year into the local economy, making it as important as the General Motors Co.'s Lordstown assembly facility and the new $2 billion Vallourec steel pipe-making complex.
Thus, any reduction in operational capability will have a negative economic effect on the Valley.
If the reassignment of the four C-130 Hercules cargo transport aircraft is not reversed, 50 full-time and 150 part-time jobs will be lost forever.
Those jobs must be saved, if for no other reason than to put a stop to the cannibalization of the air reserve base.
Congressman Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, who like his predecessor, James A. Traficant Jr., has made the base a priority, noted that the Defense Department made the decision to reassign the aircraft "regardless of the fact that YARS airmen have been doing an outstanding job and the base has the infrastructure to support additional planes and additional military and civilian jobs."
Ryan, a member of the House Appropriations and Budget committees, pledged to continue to push for long-term investments and manpower increases.
Ryan should convey his disappointment at the reduction of the facility's capabilities to the White House. The congressman should remind the president's political advisers that Mahoning and Trumbull counties have been with him all the way, even when other Democratic regions of the state and nation have been abandoning him.
Political, business and community leaders should join forces with Ryan in putting together a campaign to, first and foremost, persuade the Obama administration to revisit the aircraft reassignment decision, and then to develop a strategy for bolstering the air base's capabilities.
The leaders should seek a meeting with former Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams, who is now with the Obama White House, to provide guidance on how to lobby the administration.
There is an ironic twist to the decision by the Department of Defense: while the reduction in aircraft from 12 to eight was being announced, a new $600,000 Air Force Reserve recruiting center at YARS was unveiled.
The federal government does, indeed, work in mysterious ways.
This area is so solidly (ignorantly) Democrat, that the national (and local) Democratic party can count on a solid "D" vote no matter what they do or don't do to us. We have seen this area lied to and ignored over and over again. We just don't learn. Little Timmy is about useless in Washington; and what has the "Car Tsar" done to help his home valley? The only answer that has any hope of helping us and our children is: MOVE OUT of HERE.
The Democratic Party to which I have belonged and supported for many years is no longer a party which respects neither the constitution or the American public. Sadly, I keep seeing my party allowing a person I consider to be a wannabe dictator stripping us of all rights, one by one. What's coming down the road will reduce us to a third world nation-a nation of enslaved people. There will be no more "freebies".
There is no leadership in Washington. Period.
We need only to look at what this area has received from this and previous Democratic administrations in return for it's support at the polls.
Office seekers have learned that the voters will support them blindly regardless of anything they do for the Mahoning Valley.
Keep electing them to office and they will continue sticking it to us.
We keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome......insanity comes to mind.
If everyone would look at the stats of different cities and states throughout the country that have been and still are under democratic control, they are either going to be filing bankruptcy or already have. They also have some of the highest crime rates, unemployment rates , taxes etc. in the nation. But as long as they keep GIVING the low IQ voters freebies they will continue to control the real intelligent people of these places too.
Familiar scenario. We get shafted by a Democrat Administration that we helped elect and it's time to go "hat in hand" to Washington asking them to "reconsider". We in the Mahoning Valley are such Ignorant A--holes- will we never learn? I guess not.
P.S. Remember the old character out of the movies in the 30's that insulted Black People- "Stepin Fetchit" - that's us Youngstowners- Stepin Fetchit for the Liberal Democrats- We are such incorrigible A--holes!
Bottom Line: If you give your Vote Away Free- why should anybody pay for it- it's that simple. I'd like to see us all become "Independents"- saying to both sides- if you want my vote- what can you do for me to earn it?
You know- your editorial addressing this issue is pathetic- that's the only description I can think of. Why don't you just tell people the truth- that there is no way to get any kind of traction in Washington dealing with people who already have you in their hip pocket. That's us- the bozos and schlemiels of the Mahoning Valley who- every time a Dem shyster politician comes along- drop our pants, grab our ankles and let him do- you know what.
Stepin Fetchit, to describe us, is too mild a description. And your suggestion- getting Jay Williams- of all people, who dumped Y-town the minute he smelled a better opportunity with Obama- to "intercede" for us ("provide guidance how to lobby the administration") is beyond pathetic, it's demeaning- an insult to the people of the Mahoning Valley who elected these clowns that lose no opportunity to kick us in the nuts- knowing that we let them get away with it.
P.S. I have a suggestion: Considering the poor quality of many of your recent editorials- this one, especially- you might consider asking Dennis Mangin to come back- at least part time- to give assistance to whoever your head editorial scribbler is now. I didn't always agree with Mangin, but his work was beyond reproach- solidly written and persuasive.
I did a little checking on the internet just now and there's a rumor going around in Publishing Circles that some of the Vindy Editorials lately- including this one- have actually been "ghosted" by a major writing talent on loan from a slick Eastern Publication.
It's Alfred E. Neuman on loan from Mad Magazine!
I've been saying this for years. Without the media doing their job and keeping all politics under close scrutiny and exposing these people for what they are,the politicians will always be corrupt. The Vindicator's editorials are obviously slanted left,which is their right,however their opinions also influences how they present the news or what they don't even print. The Vindicator is either afraid of the democrats or one of them. We the people lose.

Pancham and Honedge - Flash Animation by ChibixiWatch
©2013-2016 Chibixi
Something quick for fun . Here is Pancham holding Honedge in like Link holds his sword.
*insert life force being drained here*
I'm almost entirely sure that it's Already been mention that the honedge will kill pancham, so instead I'm going to ask if you play pokemonshowdown.
Pokemon Y's Pokedex Entry for Honedge: If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely. Yep...Pancham would have died by now yes?
Maybe the shield would be Bronzors preevolution
I wuv it.
Is so cute!
Did you use Motion Tweens or Classic Tweens for this?
May I ask what Program you use? This is Awesome by the way XD
and so, Honedge will now wrap its ribbon thing around Pancham's arm and begin draining its life,
Yes, you can't mess with honedge.
i like it it so adorablez. imagine if someone made a baby Honedge evolution and it was a knife
wish this was a game
what does the water drop mean?
Being nervous
if pancham wasn't a fighting type that would end badly
I love Honedge's expression
this is my sword sword.
i realy hope that honedge gets a move that lets other pokemon wield it
Pancham <3
What if Honedge gets a Monster Hunter cameo?
That remind me Dofus or Wakfu !!!
Love this ?
All he needs now is a Fairy-Type companion.

E-vouchers in Zimbabwe: Guidelines for agricultural input distribution
The Government of Zimbabwe, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Mechanization and Irrigation Development (MoAMID), issued national guidelines to govern the provision of support to smallholder farmers in the form of agricultural inputs and extension for the 2011/12 summer cropping season. These sought to minimize direct input distribution and eliminate the provision of free inputs to farmers. The guidelines proposed that inputs be provided using rural input/output markets and that farmers contribute 10 percent to the cost of the inputs they receive.
The 2011/12 season marks the second season in which voucher mechanisms are being used in Zimbabwe. During the 2010/11 cropping season, 550 000 households received agricultural assistance from the humanitarian community – of these, 339 000 households (62 percent) received inputs through voucher mechanisms.
The electronic vouchers are redeemable at competing rural agrodealer outlets identified to participate in the programme. This empowers farmers to choose the agricultural inputs they need for the cropping season from a selection offered under the programme.
The electronic voucher programme is being implemented through a partnership with MoAMID, various implementing partners, a technical provider and agrodealers. The programme is being implemented in three districts, covering 4 000 households. This paper provides the guidelines for the implementation of this electronic voucher programme in Zimbabwe.

Traffic delays expected on Sumter Ave.
November 6, 2009
Expect traffic delays on Sumter Ave. as construction crews will begin curb replacement for the resurfacing project on Saturday Nov. 7.
Crews will start on Sumter Street, closest to the gate on Forest Drive. They will build up the areas in front of driveways to allow access for vehicles to enter in and out of various parking areas without any issues.
There will be lane closures as crews work on the project. Flagmen will monitor traffic flow, allowing people access to Sumter Avenue and surrounding buildings. Lane closures are expected to be minimal.
Due to the heavy increase of traffic on Thursdays and Fridays, construction crews will try to maintain a Saturday to Wednesday work schedule, minimizing any inconveniences.
The estimated completion date for this project is Nov. 30.

Is it possible to track the current location of a Mobile user without using internet and GPS? Is there any way of locating the user by only using the network provider info, signal reception and transmission distance from the nearest mobile operator antenna? Is there any computer software that can be used to track the location of the mobile user?
closed as off-topic by Mike Fitzpatrick, gronostaj, Dave M, Mokubai♦, Shekhar Aug 30 '13 at 17:20
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
1) Yes there is. The mobile provider needs to know where your phone (or rather, near which transmission tower your phone is) so they can send incoming phone calls to you. No internet is needed.
2) Nobody can track anything using GPS. GPS is receive only.
3) Please read or
To clarify GPS:
Imagine a person standing on a hill top shouting: 'I am on the hill top and the time is precisely 15:00 hours and 0 seconds'. If you hear that message at 15:00 hours and 3 seconds then you know you are 1km away from that hill top. (sound travels at about 1km per 3 seconds).
Replace the person shouting with a few satellites which broadcast a time signal (broadcast/shout only) and you get GPS.
Since you do not talk/shout/send anything back to the person on the hill there is no way for them to track you.

Top IPOs of 2009: Five Stocks to Watch
(MJN - Get Report) IPO was an anomaly, Walker says. As the first deal of 2009, investors were eager to grasp on to any good news coming out of the market."For this reason its weight is disproportionate to the rest of the group," Walker says. "It is similar to when Visa (V - Get Report)came to market in 2008. Mead is a well-known name that already has market penetration." A subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Mead Johnson Nutrition makes formula for infants, most notably under the name Enfamil, as well as nutrition products for children. On February 11, the company offered 30 million shares at $24 apiece, to raise $720 million. Bristol-Myers said it spun off Mead to help accelerate its growth. In the third quarter, earnings slid 5% to $97.6 million, due to weak sales in North America and Europe. As a result of the Mead's IPO, it now has more stock available, and its per-share profit tumbled 21% to 48 cents from 61 cents. Excluding one-time costs and benefits, the company said it earned 53 cents a share. Revenue fell 6% to $699.8 million from $742.8 million. Since its IPO, Mead's stock has soared 87.5% to close at $44.99 on Jan. 4. In the fall it announced that it will begin making powder infant formula, which should be available next year. Last month, Bristol-Myers split off its holdings in the company. The stock swap allowed Bristol-Myers shareholders to exchange some, all or none of their shares for Mead stock tax-free and at a discount. For each $1 of Bristol-Myers stock swapped, shareholders received about $1.11 worth of Mead shares.Mead Johnson Nutrition Mead Johnson Nutrition's

Tech at Night: Rand Paul goes judicial supremacist while Netflix goes cronyist
So the US Congress is debating whether to renew the part of the USA PATRIOT act that ensures NSA can watch the communications of foreign terror cells that set up shop in the US, and communicate back home with their terror networks. That's a good debate to have. We need to debate legislation before passing it.

Chronically ill child receives all expenses paid tripPublished 11:29am Thursday, February 21, 2013
Plenty of families take trips to Walt Disney World, but for one 15-year-old, her parents and her two younger sisters, the upcoming trip is all expenses paid.
Kristin Lovelace and her family first heard about Magic Moments, a nonprofit organization that grants wishes of chronically ill children in Alabama, from a friend at church. After the friend turned their name in, they received an application packet. But after sending it in May of 2011, they didn't hear anything else about it.
"We had just kind of forgotten about it," said Kristin's mom Tanya Lovelace. "On July 14, 2012, my husband went to the mailbox and (there was) this letter she had gotten in the mail."
Kristin's wish to go to Disney World had been granted.
The "once in a lifetime opportunity" comes as a result of the medical challenges Kristin has faced, which Tanya said were totally unexpected before she was born.
"The ultrasounds and everything showed a perfectly healthy baby," Tanya said.
But a heart murmur made it necessary to keep Kristin on oxygen, and less than two days later, the murmur changed, and even on oxygen she was turning blue.
Kristin was transported to Birmingham, where a battery of tests finally revealed that her aortic arch was missing.
At eight days old, Kristin had her first open heart surgery.
When the Lovelaces finally got to take their little girl home to Camp Hill the stay was short-lived. A couple of weeks later, a staph infection sent Kristin back to the hospital for an extended stay, which eventually led to another open heart surgery to fix the hole in her heart.
Just before being discharged from the hospital, Kristin had a stroke. Tanya said by the time she and her husband reached the hospital, "she was gone."
"They were doing chest compressions and putting the breathing tube back down," Tanya said.
But the family was home by Mother's Day.
"The stroke has left her a little physically and mentally impaired," Tanya said.
"That's how we got the wish trip."
The Lovelaces will stay at the 70-acre Give Kids the World resort during their weeklong visit to Disney. The nonprofit resort caters to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
Kristin said she wants to meet Mickey Mouse.
"He's my favorite character," Kristin said. "I watch him on TV … He's got a funny tail."
Everyone knows what they want out of the trip. Youngest sister Samantha, 3, wants to meet Cinderella. Sister Natalie, 8, wants to ride Space Mountain. But for Tanya and husband Tony, it's impossible to express how this trip fulfills their desire.
"We have been through so much during the past 15 years," Tanya said. "To our family, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We all need this time to just have fun and enjoy life and not have to worry about bills, money, doctors or what lies ahead for Kristin."
Kristin had her third heart surgery when she was 8 years old to enlarge her aortic arch. In addition to developing scoliosis and some sort of bleeding/clotting disorder, Kristin will face at least one more heart surgery in her life.
But for one week, Kristin will be one more child at Disney World.

Nine times out of ten, moisturizers list water as one of their main ingredients. Juice Beauty's oil-free hydrator is a standout exception to the rule. Their active-packed formula is made with a powerful base of organic juices so that every single drop feeds your skin. Full of antioxidants, it's great for those with oily or blemish-prone skin since the lightweight formula won't clog pores.
I ADORE this lotion. I use it exclusively for my face. Sometimes, I shower multiple times a day and this moisturize is perfect because it is lightweight, does not make my face oily, and keeps my skin looking fresh all day long! This brand is the only face lotion that I use and it is hard to find. Birchbox has made it easier to access this amazing product.5
Normally I would rather die than use moisturizer on my skin because it feels so heavy but this was light as a feather and made my skin feel about 10 years younger. It restores a plumpness and softness to the skin that makes you feel like you can go makeup free. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Even with skin so wrecked that it was impossible to keep it from breaking out, this made it easier to treat the problem and to keep my skin from getting worse.5
I had always heard that Juice Beauty products were a cult favorite, however, I was unimpressed. I have combination skin and felt like my skin wasn't moisturized very well. I was pretty bummed out. I think this would work well for someone with more oily skin since the texture isn't as thick. Smells great though!3
This is the best oil-free moisturizer that I've found that works well on my combination skin. As someone who uses multiple acne medications, it helps with my flaky skin and it also doesn't make me break out. Smells good, isn't horribly expensive, and it keeps my skin hydrated for most of my 12-13 hour work days. The only caveat is that it does give your skin that dewy look, which I usually don't mind, but sometimes I wish it was a little more matte.4
As much as I want to like Juice beauty products, I just don't. I've tried several Juice products and they consistently miss the mark for me. This moisturizer is so thin and I feel like it does nothing for my skin when I apply it. The texture is watery and the product is overall disappointing.2

One unexpected and hotly fought-over little boy, two dead bodies, and a series of home vandalisms throw Texas attorney turned island chanteuse Katie Connell into a tizzy. Juggling all of this, Bloody Mary cravings, baggage, and the bad guys too, she waffles between the jumbie house that brought her back from the brink and the man she believes is the love of her life.

"loved the story"
I really enjoyed the story and want to know what happens next!
I did not love the narration--the narrator voice was quite good, but the accents were not.
yes, I kept wanting to go back to it!
"Wow, I couldn't stop listening!"
The ladies voice kept me intrigued the whole way through!!!! She helped me feel every emotion of the characters, such an amazing job!!
"Love this series"
I have not read the print version but I have to believe the accents is part of the charm.
She is Katie - you believe it...
"Disliked main character intensely."
Character was a stupid dislikable idiot most of the time unless the story needed her to suddenly see the obvious to move the story along.
I read the first book and listened to the second. I think the inflections of the reader weakened the main character.
How does a "brilliant" investigator get scammed over and over? Why kill the sister?
"Listened to entire book in 2 settings."
Listened to entire book in 2 settings. Loved the story. It along with Book 1 "Saving Grace" was my weekend binge. I'll read the next in series soon.
I enjoyed the first book by the author with Katie and Annalise. This one had very little plot and what it had was so predictable that it was boring.
The romance aspect was overplayed in the book - if I wanted a Harlem Romance I would buy one. Focus more on creating an interesting mystery angle with a little more suspense. The characters also need to be more developed - they were very 2-dimensional in this book.
Where do I start? The pace was too slow to hold my attention. The fake accents were so bad it was a distraction. I was born and raised in Texas, and her southern accent was so exaggerated it was insulting. I don't know her background, but all LA actors seem to think Southerners have to sound stupid to be realistic. And throwing in the Caribbean lingo was so bad it was awful.
maybe on Lifetime, otherwise not a chance
Voice Talent Extraordinaire!
"On and on and on... where is this going?"
Best: I loved the Annalise story line. There could have been much more of that.
Otherwise, for the majority of this book, I felt like I was listening to an audio version of This Old House. The story droned on and on, especially about some sort of water catchment thing. I couldn't figure out where it was going and had to stop the story several times because I was bored. Honestly, I wondered why countless chapters were included other than to increase the word count. Sure seemed like a lot of filler.
The narrator Ashley Ulery is pretty good, but she has a habit of inclining the pitch of her voice at the end of every sentence, similar to the way wet-behind-the-ear newscasters do. I couldn't help but laugh once in a while. I thought she was a bit mechanical at times, as if she were reading the news. Unfortunately, that took away from my experience for the first few chapters until I was able to get past that.
Ashley seems to think each and every island person has a monotone drawl. It was great that she attempted to differentiate Caucasians from islanders, but she could have added a little inflection, mon.
Maybe Volume 1, but this one needs to be refreshed first.

|MEDICINE SYRINGE - A medicine syringe has a syringe barrel, piston and plunger rod. The syringe barrel is provided with a cylindrical main body defining therein a chamber to be filled with a medical solution, and an injection nozzle portion formed at an end portion of the main body and defining therein a hollow bore in communication with the chamber. The chamber and hollow bore have a total capacity of not greater than 0.5 mL. The chamber and hollow bore are formed such that the piston is slidable in a range of from 20 to 100 mm and is allowed to slide liquid-tight into the hollow bore beyond the chamber.
|RUBBER PLUG FOR A VIAL CONTAINER - A rubber plug for a vial container includes a leg portion press molded independently, and having a base end side portion, and a plate-shape cap portion bonded to the base end side portion press-molded with the leg portion. The leg portion and the plate-shape cap portion have bonding areas formed as concentric concavo-convex areas. The base end side portion of the leg portion including the area bonded with the plate-shape cap portion is formed of a material same as that of the plate-shape cap portion. A remaining portion of the leg portion except for the base end side is formed by a material different from the plate-shape cap portion
|PLASTIC-MADE NOZZLE CAP - A plastic-made nozzle cap for a plastic syringe includes a leg section, a cavity top wall portion, and a finger knob for the attachment/detachment of the nozzle cap. The leg section is structured for connection with a female Luer lock fitting formed face-to-face with an outer circumferential wall of a syringe nozzle. The cavity top wall portion is provided with a curved surface having a downwardly-convex, radius of curvature ranging from 0.6 to 12.0 mm for being brought into contact with a tip of the syringe nozzle to maintain sealing performance. The finger knob is arranged on an upper side of the leg section, and extends above the female Luer lock fitting in a state that a syringe barrel and the nozzle cap have been connected together.
|PLUNGER KIT FOR MEDICINE SYRINGE - A plunger kit for a medicine syringe provided with a syringe barrel includes a piston having an internal screw and a plunger rod having an external screw. The internal screw and external screw have a mutually non-complementary, basic groove profile and basic thread profile, respectively. A following flank of each thread of the external screw and a groove flank of a corresponding groove of the internal screw are formed such that, when the piston and plunger rod are slidably fit in the syringe barrel and the piston is then slid in a pull direction, the following flank can come into contact with the groove flank more strongly at a first part and more weakly at a second part to increase thread engagement strength between the external screw and the internal screw without any substantial expansion of the piston by the external screw.
|SYRINGE NEEDLE CAP - A syringe needle cap (
|CARTRIDGE CAP - This invention provides a cartridge cap for preventing air staying in a cylindrical cartridge even if the air is sucked in during a sealing operation of the opening portion of the cylindrical cartridge in which medicinal solution is filled.
|PLASTIC CAP AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed is a plastic cap useful for steadfastly maintaining a sealed state created in a container having a mouth with an opening by sealing the opening with a sealing member. The cap has a cap main body and a cover portion integrated with the main body via at least one bridge portion. The main body has a base portion and a top wall. The bridge portion is formed of a synthetic plastic filled in at least one fusion-bonding hole having a diameter of from 0.3 to 3 mm and arranged extending through at least one, preferably one of the main body or cover portion such that the main body and cover portion are integrally fusion-bonded by the bridge portion and the cover portion can be separated from the main body by breaking the bridge portion with hands. A production method of the plastic cap is also disclosed.
|PISTON FOR SYRINGE HAVING VERY SMALL CAPACITY, AND PLUNGER HAVING THE PISTON MOUNTED THERETO - Disclosed are a piston for a micro-volume syringe and a plunger. The micro-volume syringe has a syringe barrel with a space defined in it. The piston is slidable on and along a wall of the space. A leading member to be arranged on a side where the piston comes into contact with a solution filled in the space and a trailing member to be arranged on a side where a plunger rod is to be connected, the latter side being opposite to a solution side of the leading member, have been integrated with each other. The trailing member has a higher hardness than the leading member. With the micro-volume syringe in which a drug solution can be filled in a very small quantity, the piston makes it possible to perform smooth drawing and ejection of the drug solution without leakage. Even if the small piston connected to a tip of the plunger rod is operated in a direction that the piston is to be pulled out of the syringe, the plunger rod does not slip off from the piston accidentally. The piston and plunger are optimal for the micro-volume syringe.
|Rubber plug for a medical vial container - A rubber plug for a vial container containing medicinal chemicals according to the present invention can be smoothly conveyed by a part feeder while preventing each other's adhesion.
|SYNTHETIC RESIN CAP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SYNTHETIC RESIN CAP - At a medicament manufacturer B, a mouth of a vial body
|SYRINGE AND SYRINGE BARREL - To provide a syringe barrel and a syringe capable of allowing an operator to feel the amount of injected medical solution or the inserting distance of a piston by a difference in sliding resistance when an injection operation is performed. A syringe
|MOLDED RUBBER ARTICLE - A molded rubber article for sealing a container for storing medicinal chemicals comprising a fluorine resin film solidly covering the surface of the molded article which may contact with the chemicals. At least the surface of the bare rubber surface
|Prefilled Type Nasal Drip Appliance - Provided is an easy-to-handle prefilled type nasal drip appliance which can spray medical solution surely into the nostril while holding down the production cost. A syringe barrel has a spray hole and a latching portion of a center stopper on one side, with a conduction portion of medical solution being provided at the latching portion, and has a portion protruding inward of the inner circumferential surface formed on the other end side. A plunger has a portion protruding outward of the outer circumferential surface formed substantially in the axial center wherein both protrusions engage with each other. When the plunger is moved in the spray direction of the syringe barrel to get over the plunger side protrusion and disengaged, the medical solution moves the center stopper in the spray direction to form a medical solution inflow groove between the conduction portion formed at the center stopper latching portion and the center stopper. Consequently, a medical solution storage portion and the spray hole are interconnected and the medical solution can be sprayed.
|Plunger Assembly for Syringe - Provided is a plunger assembly for a syringe in which a piston can be held at the leading end of a plunger rod without fault and the piston together with the plunger rod can be pulled out in an integrated manner even in the case in which a pulling out operation is carried out in order to fill with a medicinal solution in a syringe barrel by pulling out the piston with the plunger rod.

The Old God has left the world and the pretenders are awakening and coming out from hiding. You start the game by designing one of the pretender gods that will compete for true ascension to godhood. The type of god can range from a magically powerful arch mage to an ancient kraken or a mystic monolith that people pray to. Your pretender controls one of over sixty different nations and with the help of that nation he will spread his word and battle the other pretenders. Dominions 3 is a turn based strategy game. You can play single- or multiplayer (1 - 23 players) with simultaneous turns. There are more than 1500 different units, 600 spells and 300 magic items in the game. The game also features a medieval musical score by Erik Ask Uppmark and Anna Rynefors, both awarded the title of Musicians of the Realm by the Swedish Zornmärkeskommiten. Dominions 3 is a highly detailed game and a 300 page pdf manual is included in the download.

That makes my dream less of a dream then. As long as I re-assign every unit I can from 1-999 to a 1000+ number to free up slots, and accounting for those units attached to random events, Indy pops, or other such hard-coded stuff. Still, 4 ID's for each Holy Mage in the game is going to use up a few hundred slots. (at just 1 per nation it's close to 300. Closer to 200 as I only need 3 new ID's per Holy MAge, not 4). And guess it knocks mod nation compatibility well and truly on the head
Still... very curious now if this idea will work or not. And if so how much it will improve Holy Mages, and help prevent them being decoyed by a few undead.

|Jan 18 2013 Anchor
So you have the following versions:
A - all paths, recruitable.
|Jan 18 2013 Anchor
Not quite.
A - All paths. Recruitable. Can freely change shape to B. Polymorphs into C if it enters battle.
* Probably doesn't matter if it reverts back to A or B, just as long as it's not C or D.
I think the problem with your version will be that if the Holy Mage enters battle in form A, then if it's killed it will change into form B. As there is shape changing between A-B. For this to work the forms that actually appear in battle can't have any shape changing options (I think. Although as I mentioned, need to referesh my memory regarding damage transfer between shapes. As if HP the same, maybe both forms die anyway. Although suspect the second form will always have at least 1HP)
For reference (where I think you first mentioned this idea)
Edited by: Calahan.
|Jan 21 2013 Anchor
As I wrote on dom3mods, I think you are wrong in assuming the shapechange command provides a second life. So you should only need 2 forms for this.
Voice of ***** and her spicy crew!
|Jan 21 2013 Anchor
Yeah, those are two separate attributes. One to allow the shapechange command, the other to cause switch shape when the unit's hp is taken to 0 (although there is a weird issue when you have both that will cause units to transform when hit but before they hit 0 hp, and not getting full health when changing.)

Is there a way to summon two different non-commander creature types with a ritual spell? In this case an alpha elephant and five lesser elephants. I've tried giving the alpha elephant a summon5 ability and a firstshape pointing to an identical version minus the summon, but that only works if I summon him as a commander.
|Feb 8 2013 Anchor
You should be able to do that using #nextspell, something along the lines of having a ritual that summons your alpha which nextspells another ritual that summons the 5 lessers. I think that should work, though spell modding's not my strong point.
|Feb 9 2013 Anchor
I can't get that to work. When I cast "Enslave the Plains" it summons the Alpha but not the lessers. Casting "Elephants" gets me 4x lessers (i.e. it works as intended). What am I doing wrong here?
(Notes: #2712 is the Alpha, #2709 the regulars, #72 my custom race. Low gem/research requirements for testing purposes)
|Feb 12 2013 Anchor
Gotthefungus, I think you need to #newspell "Elephants" spell before "Enslave the plains", so that it is already in place when referenced via the nextspell command.
|Feb 12 2013 Anchor
Besides the above the #nextspell's name needs to be written in "quotation marks".
Edited by: Bоо
|Feb 13 2013 Anchor
That did the trick, thanks! I had originally put the name in quotation marks, but then changed it because it was crashing the game - obviously because they were defined out of order.
I've now hidden "Elephants" by restricting it to a nonexistent nation (#73), which works fine as long as mine is the only mod but might conflict with some others. Is there a more elegant way of hiding this sort of meant-to-be-chained spell, or is my solution above the accepted method?
|Feb 13 2013 Anchor
The normal way to "hide" spells, and prevent them from being cast and/or appearing in the spell book is to use...
#school -1
Which assigns the spell to a hidden school of spells. If you check out a mod like CBM, you will see extensive use of it. (search the mod for #school -1)

Thanks again!

Uh, do people still use the Conceptual Balance Mod commonly? Also, for very common mods, what are the unit IDs that are used by the base game and such mods?

I'm in the middle of making a nation and having some trouble with a mage I'm trying to put together. I'd like to know if I'm missing something obvious that might get it to work.
|Jun 16 2013 Anchor
There is no way to make following randoms dependent on the outcome of the previous ones. So you would need to make several different mages.
|Jun 17 2013 Anchor
Unfortunate. I suppose that way would better allow me to specialize the different aspects. On the other hand, I'm now just debating making five different X3 mages, eschewing the +2 entirely. Maybe make it a summonable commander instead of cap only like the current version.
|Jun 17 2013 Anchor
You could make five different X3 mages with +2ABCD path random, where ABCD does not contain X. Of course, unless that lot is all cap-only, it's going to be overpowered. If they're all cap-only via magic site (you can squeeze them all to one site since 5 is max attributes for a site), then you can only recruit one per turn and need to choose what you want.
It's a bit clumsy, but it's the best that can be done.
|Jun 17 2013 Anchor
I'm aware of how I would go about creating a mage with a guaranteed 3 in one path and 2 in one of a selection of paths. The 5 recruit anywhere mages are 1X+1(ABCDX) with a 50% chance of an extra X, as an example. Additionally, max number to a site is a non-issue as I'm putting 3 sites in the capital.
I considered dropping the extra +2 as my current testing* is indicating that they both make decent casters for higher level stuff, and also work well as thugs with some research and an item or two. As this is my intention, I might just eschew the extra 2 paths. The consistency from splitting it into five would be a net buff, so I'm unsure if the +2 would be a good idea to include.
I'm not too far from having it in a releaseable state. Most of the commanders need weapons and armor, than I should be able to put it out for people to tear apart. I haven't even begun to put together sprites, which I expect to be time consuming. Still, it should be entirely playable, even if odd sprites are used at the moment, like R'yleh's W4A4 hero's sprite being used for the Air Aspect, or a one headed Zmey for the Earth Aspect.
*The current version just has +3 to one of the five listed paths.

|Jun 17 2013 Anchor
Glad you have it in gear then.
I went to the trouble of mentioning the site attribute stuff just to make sure, the answer is always to use as many sites as you need, up to the maximum of four. So carry on.

Honestly, my reasons for choosing three sites were:

How do I exactly add these advanced terrain masks? Say I have a forest province Y (terrain Y 128) and I want it to contain a random nature site (terrain Y 524288). In the .map file, do I add the two values together (terrain Y 524416) or do I add another line so I have both "terrain Y 128" and "terrain Y 524288" in the next line?
Also, what would this mean exactly? That the first magic site placed in this province will definitely be a nature site?
Edited by: goldboy
|Jun 22 2013 Anchor
You add the two values together. The manysites terrain increases the likelihood of magic sites appearing in that province. See the Site Searching Strategies thread in the Codex subforum for explanations on sites.
