"NIGERIA" Nigeria by Wafro
Nigeria Travel Guide: 512 reviews and 1,082 photos
In my Cameroon Page you'll see, that I stayed in Sabongari for a while.
This was the starting point for my trip into the mountains.
My guide and I went all the way to Atta and passed the border without a Nigerian visa.
After a few kilometers we left the road and went all the way up to the Donga River in Nigeria.
Over there we slept at a friends place and the day after we packed our bags, had breakfast, bought some food and water and went back to Sabongari in Cameroon.
It was a nice trek and we even spotted a few animals.
But there's one thing I can say for sure about Nigeria.
Once it was a beautiful country, but foreign multinationals and corrupt dictators are destroying entire cultures and ecosystems.
Fela Kuti sang about it, Ken Saro Wiwa wrote about it and I will repeat it.
(by the way: this isn't a political statement, these are REAL FACTS)
Look for Warnings and dangers.

Like everywhere else the oil industry has destroyed/corupted Nigeria. I have been all over Nigeria and love the place and the vibe (thanks to the optimism of the average Nigerian) but the coruption is an issue.
This is info that should be publicised more, with the facts so blatantly clear, it makes folk more aware of issues they know so little about.
Yes you are right about that company, am not sure if I am informed well or if it was a rumour but the government paid for the training of the employees? or at least provided logistics for it?
We used to live by the Donga river (about 18 years ago) how I wished I could have taken alot more pictures.Next time maybe visit Yankari Game Reserve and go to Wikki Hot Springs...very cool : ) I would love to go back to Africa - Heidi
You did a good job, to give all this information. We had a lot of campaigns against Shell several years ago, but didn't continue ....
I have heard about these various issues in Nigeria over the past several years, but had not seen it all put together in one place before!

Custom-designed zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) – proteins designed to cut at specific DNA sequences – combine the non-specific cleavage domain (N) of Fok I restriction endonuclease with zinc finger proteins (ZFPs). Because the recognition specificities of the ZFPs can be easily manipulated experimentally, ZFNs offer a general way to deliver a targeted site-specific double-strand break (DSB) to the genome. They have become powerful tools for enhancing gene targeting – the process of replacing a gene within a genome of cells via homologous recombination (HR) – by several orders of magnitude. ZFN-mediated gene targeting thus confers molecular biologists with the ability to site-specifically and permanently alter not only plant and mammalian genomes but also many other organisms by stimulating HR via a targeted genomic DSB. Site-specific engineering of the plant and mammalian genome in cells so far has been hindered by the low frequency of HR. In ZFN-mediated gene targeting, this is circumvented by using designer ZFNs to cut at the desired chromosomal locus inside the cells. The DNA break is then patched up using the new investigator-provided genetic information and the cells' own repair machinery. The accuracy and high efficiency of the HR process combined with the ability to design ZFNs that target most DNA sequences (if not all) makes ZFN technology not only a powerful research tool for site-specific manipulation of the plant and mammalian genomes, but also potentially for human therapeutics in the future, in particular for targeted engineering of the human genome of clinically transplantable stem cells.

I've a question about the thread safety of std::set.
As far as I know I can iterate over a set and add/erase members and that doesn't invalidate the iterators.
But consider following scenario:
- thread 'A' iterates over a set of shared_ptr<Type>
- thread 'B' occasionally adds items to this set.
I've experienced segfaults as the program runs and I'm not sure why this happens. Is lack of thread safety the cause?

The curriculum is broad and progressive but also gives priority to the acquisition of basic academic skills. The children are taught in a friendly and stimulating environment by caring and hardworking staff. Out of school activities are encouraged and a variety of these are run by staff throughout the year. Private music schemes in both woodwind and brass instruments plus the guitar are also available and these are run during and after school. For a brochure and any further information on the school, please contact the school on the number given. They will be only too pleased to assist you.
The school is attached to the Blackburn Diocese who can be found at www.blackburn.anglican.org
School Lane
Wishes is the name of the parent, teacher and friend group that supports Freckleton Church of England School and stands for "Working to Improve Standards of Happiness, Equality and Success".
The Committee is comprised of parents and teachers. They actively work towards assisting the school in many different ways but also by arranging various events throughout the year to provide funding for equipment, sports strips, educational visits and many more.
In the last few years amongst other things, they have supplied library books, funded Christmas parties, supplemented transport for educational visits, helped with the purchase of outdoor play equipment and paid for our leavers' party.

Kirkham Carr Hill 11-18 High School
Carr Hill 11-18 High School
Headteacher: Mr.J.F.Davies
Website: www.carrhillschool.com
Type of school: Comprehensive
Carr Hill is a mixed comprehensive school for 11 to 18 year olds and serves the whole of the rural Fylde. Freckleton is in the catchment area for Carr Hill. The school is maintained by Lancashire County Council, possesses excellent purpose-built accommodation, and is set in extensive, landscaped grounds close to the centre of Kirkham.
Opened in 1957, the school admitted its first comprehensive intake in 1977 and has developed a good academic record: each year a large number of students leave the Sixth Form to enter colleges and university (including Oxford and Cambridge).
We expect students entering the school will wish to devote themselves to serious study, to conduct themselves in a polite manner at all times, and to take advantage of the many educational opportunities which the school has to offer.

ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) — Two dozen were people were injured Saturday when a car crashed into the bandstand area at a festival in eastern Oregon.
Elizabeth Duncan, spokeswoman for the Saint Alphonsus Health System, said 23 people were taken to its hospital in Ontario and one was taken to its trauma center in Boise.
None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. Some people had broken bones and possible internal injuries.
An Ontario Police Department dispatcher said the driver has been taken into custody.
The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. at Lions Park. The spectators attending the annual America's Global Village Festival were watching entertainers set up on the main stage.

As a nonprofit organization committed to academic readiness, character development, youth safety and violence prevention and fitness and healthy living, the Kelly Hall YMCA has been proud to help our neighbors learn, grow and thrive since 2009.
Between the after school programs which keep children and youth safely off the streets, the hot nutritious meals enjoyed by all and activities like magazine publishing that teach real life job skills, the Kelly Hall YMCA strengthens bodies, minds and communities.
Where some see obstacles, we see opportunities for our members, volunteers, program participants and staff to make a difference. Kelly Hall YMCA proudly serves the community of West Humboldt Park where today for more than 1,700 program participants make the Kelly Hall YMCA their second home. Kelly Hall provides local children and families the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, and where people of all ages, interests and abilities can build and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
Kelly Hall Needs Your Help Now More Than Ever
On April 3, 2015 the Illinois Department of Human Services unexpectedly suspended funds for Teen REACH programs across Illinois. Due to these cuts the YMCA of Metro Chicago has been forced to shut down its Teen REACH programs at Ys in the Logan Square, Little Village and West Humboldt Park neighborhoods. Kelly Hall YMCA, located in the West Huimboldt Park neighborhood, was hit the hardest by these cuts as a large portion of its staff are funded by Teen REACH dollars requiring the Center to look at drastically cutting back its program offerings and hours of operation unless alternative funding can be identified. Help us raise funds to restore these positions and keep Kelly Hall operating at it current level. The lives of many at-risk youth and their families depends on it.
Donate today.
We need to raise $150,000 to continue to serve our youth and teens at current levels through June 30, 2016. Contact Ken Maddox, Senior Program Director at 773.886.1220 or email@example.com to learn how or attend our annual fundraiser Saturday, April 16 to show your support.

The second Christmas wreath decorating contest and silent auction was held by Carrollton Federal Bank Dec. 10 in conjunction with an open house. The proceeds from the silent auction went to the Meals on Wheels Program. All of the wreaths submitted for the contest displayed imagination and creativity. This was evident by the close race for first place with only one vote difference between first and second place. It was our honor to display the wreaths in our lobby. They were beautifully decorated and received many compliments by the public.
What an uplifting story in The News-Democrat....Shop with a Cop, to aid 124 children this Christmas!
We can only imagine how the almost 700 children and their families have been impacted by this wonderful program over the last 10 years.
Congratulations and God Bless each and every person that's involved with Shop With a Cop! Just another reason we are proud to call Carrollton our home!
Jason and Matilda Paeper
When we think about Christmas and its many traditions, we may find ourselves wondering just how long they have been with us.
Christmas carols, for example, date back to the 1400s, and the decorated Christmas tree came just a short while later; in fact, historians believe it celebrates its 500th anniversary this year, after beginning in Northern Europe and eventually spreading to our country during the Revolutionary War.
The Senate Majority gathered on Dec. 9-10 to discuss the upcoming session and lay out legislative priorities. The session will only be a 30-day one; we have only a brief time so we have to make the most of it and respond to the issues we heard from voters in the fall.
As your representative in Congress, it is my job to represent your voice in Washington and support legislative initiatives that will strengthen our community. In addition to this work, there are many other ways that I can help Fourth District residents with issues related to the federal government.

The theme for the 2016 edition of Wild Onions is: Dreams and Shadows
Dreams are those fantasies we have in the middle of the night that keep us hopeful for the next day. They are those ideas that start small and inspire us to make our lives meaningful. Dreams are the wings behind our aspirations that give us a reason to take chances and take flight. But where there is the potential to dream, there is also the potential for nightmares. What are those doubts, those fears, and those experiences that exist in the shadows? And how do we overcome those nightmares so that we can step out of the dark and attain our true goals? Whether our dreams are the kind that take place in sleep or the kind that influence our actions during the day, the dreams and shadows we experience hold an undeniable power that can change us, our future, and our world.
DEADLINE for submissions is JANUARY 15 of each calendar year

Maria Susana
Update on Maria SusanaMaría, age 56, is a single mother with two children. She is from Sauce, which is located in the northern part of the country. Sauce is known for being an area that produces milk, cream and cheese. She is an industrious, hardworking woman, with a desire to improve herself. In her free moments, she likes to enjoy the company of her children. Unfortunately, due to a lack of economic resources, she couldn't study to become a professional. She had to work from a very young age.
Thanks to her efforts and her desire to get ahead, she has a business selling firewood in her home. She spends eight hours a day at her work, offering her goods. The goal of this loan is to invest in the purchase of firewood to offer to her customers, so that in the not-so-distant future she can earn a better income.
María expresses her thanks for the help to get a decent job that Kiva investors give to people with few resources and to poor countries such as Nicaragua.
Gracias a su esfuerzo y sus ganas de salir adelante tiene por actividad económica la venta de Lena en su casa de habitación. Ella dedica a su negocio unas 8 horas diarias ofreciendo su producto. El objetivo del crédito es invertir en la compra de leña, para ofrecer a sus clientes y en un futuro no muy lejano pueda obtener mejores ingresos. María agradece la ayuda que los inversionistas Kiva les brindan a personas de escasos recursos y países pobre como es Nicaragua para tener un medio de trabajo digno.
Previous Loan DetailsMaría Susana, 55, is the single mother of three children, ages 25, 21, and 18. Only the 18-year-old is still a student and dependent on her.

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The canyon features a drop of 100-200 meters and an average width of about 15-25 meters, with the narrowest point being about 10-12 meters and the widest about 30-40 meters. The canyon is composed of 3 open valleys and two shaded valleys, which are divided into 7 small scenic areas such as Guangming River, Ying Cave, Xianghuoyan Waterfalls and Xianghuoyan Peak, etc. Of these, Xianghuoyan Waterfalls look most marvelous. Looking down the waterfalls, you can see the water vapor rising and hear the thundering roaring; looking up, you can see a silver river falling down and a rainbow across the mist. It cannot be denied that Xianghuoyan Canyon is ideal for exploration, scientific research, sightseeing and holiday spending.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Water en Brood
by Sten Oomen
Review: This is a restaurant you won't believe, yes, it's THAT good. The ambiance is simple, but wow, the food is delicious and 100 % vegan. Been there twice, but plan to go regularly now. The price is very modest compared to what you get. This is no simple food, it comes from cooks who know what they're doing. You get a three-course menu, and every part of it is worth while. The soup, the main meal, the cake (or whatever they're offering). This cake was really a piece of heaven... So go there, find it, eat it. You won't be sorry!

Media file servers - to cloud or not to cloud
Hey guys, just wondering is it a good idea to cloud media file servers? Main function of the server would just be hosting static media files (videos, images, etc.) and let people download them direct. Nothing fancy, nothing dynamic.
Does seems like using cloud for this is more expensive, because really what's really going to be used is the bandwidth (and bandwidth on cloud is expensive). Probably need decent HD speed, not a lot of CPU. Since download will be 24/7, hourly billing isn't really an advantage.
What do you guys think?
I ran a large media site in the past, no way would it have been profitable if I used S3 or other CDN/cloud services. Assuming you're running a free media site I would think you would have a hard time recouping cloud costs.
Look for an unmetered server solution, and yes you want HDD speed not CPU (assuming no video encoding is going on) so I would look for RAID10 if your budget allows, or separate non-RAID hard drives if your budget does not allow for RAID. You're typically better off with 2x 1TB drives than 1x 2TB drives when considering a non-RAID solution, the more spindles the better.Dallas #2 Launch, Rack Colocation Promo - Incero's Enterprise Servers

I would agree with Gordon. CDN would be a very costly solution for serving a lot of content unless you are going to charge your visitors of your website. Try getting an high bandwidth server instead. Preferably close to your targeted audience.

The Lightweight Vehicles Conference 2015 is now over, we would like to thank our delegates, sponsors and speakers for contributing to the successful event. Please check the website in the next few weeks for information on the 2016 event.
Is your body ready for the 2020 EU emissions target?
Plastics News Europe Lightweight Vehicles conference will be held in Berlin at Palace Hotel and will bring together OEMs, Tier 1 manufacturers and plastics companies.
Join us and make sure you are part of the discussion as the industry comes together to discuss the future of lightweighting.
For the automotive industry, engineered plastics are fast becoming the future. While new laws are being created to reduce emissions and fuel prices are rising, predictions suggest that by 2020 plastics will comprise 18 percent of the average vehicle's weight. To achieve optimal fuel efficiency OEMs are going lightweight - since 2008 the average vehicle has dropped 20 percent - and are using more lightweight plastics and polymer-based components to achieve this. Meanwhile, the new fuel-efficiency trend of electric power trains results in heavier cars that in turn need lighter materials to reduce weight.
Car companies have achieved much in making their vehicles more fuel-efficient and generating lower emissions. But taking the green car to the next stage requires a major switch to lightweight materials, including composites and plastics. We want to bring together the decision makers and work towards the EU target of 95g/km for 2020
The delegates rates is
€1000 + German VAT

Ben & Jerry's Will Save Literature and Libraries
One of the best linguistic outcomes of Barack Obama's run for president (remember those days?) was the Ben & Jerry's flavor Yes Pecan! The name was witty and energetic, and the proceeds from scoop sales went to the non-partisan, non-profit Common Cause Education Fund.
Now that the din and excitement of the election has long passed us by, what are we to do for new Ben & Jerry's flavors? Well, a New Jersey librarian has taken up the cause. On her Facebook page, she began a petition for the next Ben & Jerry's flavor to be named after something library related. The idea has since morphed into all things writing and reading related. The petition, which she started in June, has now grown to 4,800 members strong, and along with these numbers, the witty names have been rolling in. Suggestions have included Gooey Decimal System (brilliant!), Sh-sh-sh-Sherbet, and Rocky Read. News of the petition has spread to Jezebel and to The New Yorker's Book Bench blog, both of which had their stable of devoted readers leave more suggested flavors. (Bananas Foster Wallace is my favorite from The Book Bench.) The LA Times book blog, Jacket Copy, believes the best one yet is Malt Whitman, which was imagined by one of Ben & Jerry's own flavor creators. So, in the name of snowballing web fun-ness, here's a few more.
Heart of Darkness: This could be chocolate piled on top of chocolate. Anything chocolate you could fit in there. In honor of Joseph Conrad.
War and Pieces: Though it may be a bit brutal sounding, I think it has potential. One could swirl together French vanilla and cherry and blueberry (the Russia Empire flag was red and blue) ice creams with some ruble chocolate pieces thrown in.
Goosebumps and Berries: A fruity concoction with gooseberries and other berry-flavored "bumps." Homage to R.L. Stine.
And a few more: "Henry Wadsworth Marshmellow," "Alphabetical Porter," and "It Was the Best of Limes, It was The Worst of Thymes Sherbet."
What other library-related, or literature-related, flavors should Ben & Jerry's consider?

If you agree with The Wall Street Journal's recent claim that Web startups have hit a cash crunch, you might just be in the wrong place at the right time.
According to a recent report by CB Insights, a New York City-based VC database, the cash is still flowing, to the tune of 790 firms receiving a total of $7.9 billion worth of VC in the third quarter of 2011. If that rate of investment continues through the fourth quarter, CB Insights estimates it'll be a $30 billion-plus year for venture capital, the highest level in a decade.
So where exactly is the money? California still easily wins the state rivalry for VCs, claiming 40 percent of the nation's deals and almost half of all VC investment dollars, CB Insights reports. The real race seems to be for second place, with New York beating Massachusetts for both VC deals and dollars for the first time ever. As New York's VC deals and dollars hit record levels, Massachusetts suffered from a dip in deals in the third quarter, leading CB Insights to wonder, "While the state's sector diversity can be viewed as a good thing, is there a 'jack of all trades, master of none' issue facing Mass?"
Here are the top 10 states for venture capital, according to number of deals, with additional third quarter stats:

I think people remember Columbus because the good outweighs the bad. Who cares about the natives anyways >.> People probably remember Columbus as 90% good and 10% bad, or maybe 99% good and 1% bad. In China, the Communist Party evaluated Mao as being 70% good and 30% bad
So it really depends on the perspective, cuz I doubt many people in this community could agree with that. I don't think it's right to just focus on what bad somebody does - because I'd imagine that attitudes also tends to only focus on what good somebody else does.
If we look at atrocities for what they were, then there's no way to ignore how terrifying they were. But we often look at atrocities for what they are. Sometimes things, rightfully or not, just aren't relevant nowadays. Even the sting of the Holocaust can be dulled with time if people stop caring.
I'm not so sure about offended or upset. I can feel offended, or get a visceral response, looking at images of the Holocaust for example, but when thinking about it in general - I don't know what's to be offended or upset about. To be offended or upset is to have that instinctual response to a threat, and whether we react to something as a threat or not really depends on our person.

So DH and I decided to actively try now that we are basically done moving. We want to have at least our first and maybe our 2nd while he is still active duty so we get the free medical care BTW, I'm 30, so it's not like I'm trying to "rush" to meet a deadline... I'm ready.
But... my Mom just got a new job and I'm so happy for her because I know how bad the economy is... and she was a SAHM for 20 years, so it's not like the world is full of options with her work experience. So she tells me, "now you just have to wait to have a baby for at least a year so I can get some vacation time." What was that? Now I have to wait for you to have vacation time before I have a baby? So I laughingly tell her not to really worry about it, because obviously I'm not as fertile as she is (yeah, 3 of her 4 were BC babies, but that's another topic). So she shouldn't really worry about when it happens. And last I had talked to her, she said she wouldn't make the trip out here til the baby is like 6 months old or something because they are more "fun" at that age. I guess I can understand, it's not cheap to fly from Oregon to Germany. Whatever. But then after my comment about how it will probably take us a few more months of trying, she says "Oh, God's timing is perfect, so I know it will work out." (the way she said it, she was implying that I wouldn't get pregnant until the timing is perfect for her to have some vacation time) UUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Sorry... I'm just venting. She's my mom and I love her, but she knows where I stand and that I don't appreciate comments like that. She's just hoping and praying that someday I'll be "saved" and that those little comments will "plant a seed" in me that will "lead me closer to god."
Done ranting. I feel better just sharing that with someone who can understand/relate. Thanks for reading.

For nearly four years, the Roberts family has had the same routine.
They clean out their closets for a yard sale and sell lemonade at a stand to raise money to fight childhood cancer.
Michaella Roberts and her granddaughters recently hosted a lemonade stand and yard sale to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises money for childhood cancer research and awareness.
Children have opened lemonade stands, and others have hosted walks and sold lemonade-flavored candy to benefit the foundation.
The foundation is hoping to get more kids to host their own lemonade stands this weekend during National Lemonade Days, kicking off Friday and ending Sunday.
Get involved
Residents wanting to open their own stands still have time to get involved and can visit the foundation's website at alexslemonade.org to register their lemonade stand, yard sale or other fundraiser.
Hosting a lemonade stand to help Alex's Lemonade Stand foundation is easy and teaches children a valuable lesson, Roberts said.
"It's not hard. The kids enjoy it, especially when they know about it," she said.
Their fourth stand raised just under $500 in May. Kids will get into the cause if you tell them about it, Roberts said. Her young granddaughter emptied her piggy bank to help the foundation.
"It's so easy for them, and I think beneficial for them, to learn that there are kids who don't get to run, jump or play," Roberts said.
Her granddaughters learned about Alex Scott, the namesake of the foundation, at an exhibit at the Indianapolis Children's Museum and decided that they wanted to have a lemonade stand that would help the foundation.
Alex's story
Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma days before her first birthday.
Years later, after a stint in the hospital, she decided to open a lemonade stand in her hometown in Connecticut, raising $2,000 for doctors to help other kids who were fighting cancer.
Lemonade stands and other fundraisers popped up around the country in support of Alex's mission. People donated money after they read her story in magazines and saw interviews on television, her father Jay Scott said.
"She was starting to raise a lot of money," he said.
Alex died four years after starting her first lemonade stand. Her efforts and donations from others hearing her story had raised $1 million for cancer research and awareness.
Her parents started the foundation in her name to keep the mission of childhood cancer research fresh in the public eye, Jay Scott said.
Now, years after she is gone, people still will remember her, he said.
"Losing a child is the toughest thing to go through," Jay Scott said. "Having something like this eases the pain."

Dale Thoreson, dairy, beef and forages field specialist
Each livestock farm is unique. Trouble shooting changes or modernizations must be designed for the specific situation. An on-the-farm experience must be initiated to respond with site-specific change alternatives to accommodate each situation.
Over 120 site-specific educational events are carried out, many with interested agri-businesses, cooperating USDA agencies, or local extension educators each year by this field specialist. Producers/agri-businesses are allowed to express and show the field specialist their concerns. Site specific questions and discussion follows. Alternative solutions are outlined and left with the client.
Site-specific educational events were surveyed for their impact. Seventeen responses related to livestock were returned with the site-specific value for the average 92 cow dairy herd at $1,074 and $15,210 for the 1,300-head feedlot. Some of the changes implemented include: buying a different feedlot program, attaching milkers sooner, remodeling the holding pen, cementing the old gutter and making an incline in the holding pen, adding lights, and changing bedding practices. Changes planned include: remove the Hbunk, building a floor feedbunk, and providing more room per cow. One planned change that didn't occur due to the expense of the changes needed was the purchase of a farmstead.

State Senate to Consider Non-Discrimination Measure
February 4, 2014
CHARLESTON — A bill introduced in the West Virginia Senate would make it unlawful for employers and landlords to discriminate against individuals based on their sexual orientation....
Imagine how much happier Wraith's life would be had his wife stuck around and if he had legal permission to visit his children.

Anti-discrimination laws are anti-thought laws.
While it is true that it is morally wrong to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. it should not be illegal.
If you own property-YOU own it. Not your neighbors, not the government. YOU. Therefore, YOU have the right to decide whether or not you will rent or sell your property and, if so, how much you will charge.
Otherwise, you are just a caretaker and the government has a right to punish you for your thoughts and opinions.

It is ALREADY against the law to discriminate!!!!
It's amazing that for 250 years this country got along just fine!!!
And in the last 50 years these "law makers" have written more laws than in the history of the world!!!
Let's pass a law that ANY bill must be condensed to no more than 2 pages or it can't be considered!!!!!!
January 1st. 2010 was a big milestone in this scary look into the future with the introduction of 40,627 new laws that went into effect throughout the nation and its territories. That is some 800 on average per state in the union, covering as widely diverse topics as texting while driving to mold removal in homes and criminal laws against people who scam other people

How many laws can we create, how many groups can we make special? Employers know that they not only cannot discriminate, they MUST hire people from the special groups regardless of their abilities or background or face punitive actions from politicians like Kessler who panders to demogrpahics. Self serving politicos have created special classes of people who DO face prejudice on hiring, promotions and appointments to public office; white males. Every day. In the American demographic white males are still a huge majority but that is not reflected in any "law" that requires them to be hired. White males are household heads, by far, in America, but their families face loss of income on hiring/promotion. The targeted group in America is not gays or races or illegals, it is the guy who got a degree or skills, found a job, and is raising a family, there is no one looking out for them. 50 people apply for a job, one is from Kessler's special group, who gets the job?

At the risk of giving you unhelpful advice, I have to say one thing:
read this.
But then again, I'm also a sick individual myself who enjoys watching people throw twisted situations into innocent fandoms.
That said, I must say that already, it looks like you're off to creating a journey fic that's separate from the usual "Yay! Let's catch Pokemon and earn Gym Badges!" deal. However, I'm a little curious as to why this sort of scene happened. Now, it's an excerpt from chapter two, so I don't know the context of the scene, let alone the kind of establishment you would set about doing in chapter one. So, I literally don't know what prompted this or who Claire might be. (Personally, I'm hoping for hero with issues because, frankly, slotting this as a villain's personality would be just walking back towards the cliche shed, if you know what I mean. But, it's your story, so I really can't say much.)
However, remember that needless death, while cool and all, might raise a few eyebrows if it happens out of the blue with no actual explanation (be it "because Claire has serious issues" or "because Pokemon are seen a different way in this world" or whatever else you can come up with). So, yeah, you'll want to be a little careful in that regard (if you want to attract readers who aren't me).
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing this in the main forum and really can't provide much in the way of other helpful comments because I really don't know what you're planning. (Although so far, it looks like you're avoiding the usual OT cliches, which is good.) Good luck with this.

October 17, 2008Reviewer: Diana in IowaMyoplex Lite is the best protein powder I've ever tried. I actually don't mix it with water but instead just put the powder in my mouth and let it melt. The chocolate is the best but vanilla isn't bad either. I like that they are individually wrapped for afternoon snacks. I packet lasts me all afternoon till dinner so I'm not hungry. I love it!

Kinshasa welcomed the last mission of the technical assistance project supporting DRC in reforming its debt management laws and design a national debt strategy. Held on 4-29 April, this mission closed an extensive African Development Bank-funded programme of activities started in September 2015.
Launched with a first mission to evaluate the country's institutional framework and agree on a work plan, the technical support stretched over 8 missions and over 8 months to produce the following results:Read more...
The Network of Finance Ministers and Experts from Francophone LICs met in Washington, DC in the margins of the Spring Meetings of the IMF and the World Bank. Convened by Senegal, the Network's chair country, the meetings were twofold: finance experts and country focal points met on Thursday 14 April to discuss their priorities in terms of fiscal policies in favour of the mobilisation of domestic resources to finance the SDGs. On the agenda were the presentation of the results of the technical workshop held in Dakar, Senegal, in December 2015 on fiscal policies and preliminary outcomes of the revenue study. DFI also introduced the terms of reference of a new study on public-private partnerships (PPP) to be launched in 2016-2017 which will draw on countries' experiences to determine how PPPs can best fit in in their financing strategies.Read more...
DFI, together with UNCTAD, conducted a technical assistance mission in debt management for the World Bank. Held in the capital Lomé, this capacity-building event aimed at identifying key strengths and weaknesses which characterise the country's debt structure. The mission found that Togo achieved considerable progress in terms of formulating debt management strategies and in debt sustainability analysis. However, significant weaknesses were identified at the front and back office level, which calls for strong support from the country's technical and financial partners.
The world's poorest countries are robbed of billions of dollars in vital revenue due to tax avoidance strategies used by some multinational corporations.
ActionAid's new "Mistreated" report is based on a dataset of 500 tax treaties signed by low- and lower-middle income countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. This extensive research sheds lights on the tax agreements between LICs and wealthier countries and reveals the use of tax treaty networks to limit tax payments in LICs, therefore reducing the amount of crucial revenue as a vital source of public finance.
The report urges for the urgent review of these treaties, more transparency in the negotiation and ratification process as well as better impact assessment on revenue collection and development.
The final activities in the Seco-funded support to Sudanese debt policy and strategy concluded during February.
They began with a high-level seminar, at which the Ethiopian Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister shared Ethiopia's experiences of HIPC and MDRI debt relief, and Sudanese policymakers discussed the draft national debt policy.This was followed by a training event on Debt Pro©, the software used by the IMF to assess debt relief needs and impact.
Finally, two senior Sudanese officials conducted a study tour to Addis Ababa to examine Ethiopian experiences in more detail. The project has been assessed by the Government of Sudan as having achieved its capacity-building aims, and the national debt policy is expected to be approved shortly.
DFI participated in a roundtable meeting organized in London by the UK Department for International Development on the forthcoming review of the LIC-Debt Sustainability Framework by the BWIs, and presented the findings of its paper on priorities for the review of the DSF. Another study completed in 2015 on priorities for debt issues in the FfD process has also been cleared by DFID for release.
A new paper by the IMF examines the role of fiscal policies and institutions in building resilience in sub-Saharan African countries. Based on the analysis of a sample of 26 countries from the region over the 1990-2013 period, the report finds that raising tax revenues and a higher spending in social sectors create conditions favourable to economic resilience.
This correlation is further examined through case studies of 7 fragile countries (Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda) with a history of conflict or civil unrest, illustrating how they were able to build resilience and exit fragility.
DFI facilitated a regional capacity-building workshop for Oxfam International Asia, training around 30 staff on analyzing fiscal justice to combat inequality. The training covered anti-inequality government spending (using the GSW database) and anti-inequality tax policy (using a new GSW tax database), and helped participants to define priorities for regional and country strategies to campaign for fiscal justice.
DFI participated in a British Academy International Forum with the secretariat of the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity (chaired by Gordon Brown). Based on its work for GSW, GCE and UNESCO, DFI presented its views for priorities in mobilizing financing for education during the SDG period, and will be continuing to work with the secretariat over the next few months, making inputs on spending patterns and debt issues.
Based on research by Development Finance International, the WaterAid's new report "Releasing the Flow" concentrates on the capacity to use available funds for water and sanitation in five countries in Sub-Saharan Africa - Ethiopia, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda. The research suggests that effective leadership from government – at national, regional and local level – is a key factor for success.
In all case studies there is evidence that strong political will has translated into positive action on absorption of funds, greater transparency and improved water and sanitation services for people and communities. Other critical factors include the availability of skilled human resources, the balance between recurrent and capital funding for local government, and the quality of co-ordination and communication between major stakeholders.

DFI facilitated a workshop for OIF and the Senegalese government, at which the draft study on Domestic Resource Mobilisation in OIF IDA Countries was presented to senior officials from 11 OIF member states. It was also used as the basis for discussions on their technical assistance needs. The event was also attended by tax experts from CREDAF, FERDI, the IMF, LSE, the OECD, Oxfam, UEMOA, UNDP and the World Bank, and ATAF, ICRICT and CEMAC supplied contributions.Read more...

SHANGHAI (AP) - Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen says he will probably stay in Formula One next season, although he had no reaction to new speculation of a move to Red Bull in 2014.
Raikkonen, speaking Thursday ahead of Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, said, ``I don't have a contract for next year so I don't have a plan. I probably will be (in Formula One), but it's a funny place.''

Katie Yeager
Katie Yeager Shares Her Worst Date Stories
Most of MTV's Teen Moms celebrated Fourth of July with fireworks, hot dogs, and the smell of freedom, but for Teen Mom 3's Katie Yeager? Girlfriend spent her day taking a terrifying walk down memory lane...
This former reality star took it upon herself to share stories about her worst dates (because nothing says "USA USA USA" like an awkward hook up), and we've rounded 'em up for you to enjoy.
1. "One time a guy asked me to give him a shout-out on twitter." Does a subtweet count as a shoutout? Because if so, this dude is probably so excited right now.
2. "Another time, in the middle of dinner, a guy asked me if I was a back door teen mom too."
Wait, Katie's date dared to make fun of Saint Farrah Abraham? No wonder she rejected him.
3. "A guy told me he didn't like that I was smarter than him. That I needed to dumb down to date him." We can't even with this.
Unfortunately, it sounds like Katie's had some pretty dire experiences dating, but last time we checked she was in a committed relationship with a bearded hottie.
Hopefully, she and her mysterious boyfriend will make it for the long haul, because it looks like it's slim pickings in Katie's corner of the world. Judging you, men folk of Wyoming. Judging you so hard.
Are your date stories worse than Katie's? Share them in the comments below!

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - January 15, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Who Buys Drinks? Solons Compromise By Handy Mlnkoff DES MOINES (UP1) The senate ethics committee Monday agreed to a compromise propos-j al broadening the scope of sen- ate lobbyist disclosure restric- tions to include meals and alco- holic beverages served to legis- lators. The proposal, approved 5-1, was made by Francis Cudahy, a Jefferson lawyer who serves as a lay member of the committee appointed by Gov. Robert Ray. IHs proposal was adopted after Sen. Gene Glenn (D-Ot- tumwa) lost a bid to call for complete disclosure of all gifts from lobbyists to sena- tors. At present, senators must re- port all "items or services" in excess of each month to the secretary of the senate. "Public Confidence Glenn contended that "a full disclosure is needed" to con- tinue public confidence in the Seattle. However, committee members expressed concern that a full disclosure would jeopardize other amendments when the lobbyist legislation is brought before the full chamber for approval. Committee Chairman Sen. Roger Shaft (R-Camanche) said many senators may "lie- come hostile" to other provi- sions sought by the committee if it supported a full disclo- sure provision. George Palmer, a lobbyist re- presenting the Iowa Student Public Interest Research Group and Common Cause, suggested a compromise be reached that would lower the limit from to However, committee members saiii ihat proposal also would jeopardize passage.

Juhl stated that between -Nov. 1, 1988, and Jan. 1, 1974, Mrs. Axon's children, in the care of her mother, had re- ceived in Aid to De- pendent Children payments. .Mrs. Axon agreed Friday to pay weekly toward child sup- port. Mrs. Axon's former husband, Gerald Rae' Schutterle, Gar- rison, also appeared in court on the same charge. He pled inno- .cent and a hearing was set for Jan. 18. Willie Guthrie, LeGrand, also faced the same charge before Magistrate Arends. He entered a guilty plea, but was able to work out an agreement by which he would pay weekly in child support payments.
