The weather has been horrid in Newfoundland so far this spring and summer so we've taken advantage of the few nice days to get outdoors and do what we love … explore Newfoundland! I also had the unexpected pleasure of photographing my friend and excellent climber, Carla, who is back on the east coast for the summer.

Climbing on the Fair Islands
We had a great rock climbing and camping trip with the Newfoundland Section of the Alpine Club of Canada to the Fair Islands in Bonavista Bay on Newfoundland's north east coast. Lots to explore and lots of new rock for bouldering, top rope and trad climbing.
Here is a photo gallery on the ACC NL FaceBook Page…
…and THE VIDEO!

Return to classic portraiture
In a visually noisy world of over saturated, over photo shopped, really bad HDR artificial photos it is so nice to have someone who appreciates classic black & white portraiture walk into your studio. It's always rewarding to revisit and practice the lighting lessons taught to us by the great masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer (…see Rembrandt Lighting) and 1940's Hollywood photographers such as George Hurrell, who pioneered the use of high intensity focused fresnel lights found on movies sets. Its clean, back to basics and keeps it simple. It's about the light, not the camera. This is Marc Lafrenière, teacher, photographer, film and art aficionado …future .com billionaire. :^)

Foto Flashback
In 1982 I had been shooting news for a couple of years and was expanding my perspectives and trying some commercial and advertising photography. Doing a little organization in the file room this week I found this 35mm Kodak Extachrome 64 transparency. As I recall, there wasn't much lighting but lots of reflectors and graduated filters. It was an instant flashback to a warm summer evening, a fun car on a long drive with a fun crew. One of my first paid ad shoots it was for a friend who owned an import auto business. I can almost smell that English leather interior now. …greg

NSO Portraits 2015 have started
We're deliriously happy to be back shooting portraits of the musicians of the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra for the 2015/16 season. We kicked it off with Jessica Pereversoff on a stormy March day with torrential rain and 100km winds! …we took shelter in an empty car park and carried on! Between running back and forth to the car to warm up we managed to get the pavement swept of snow and the lights up and tied down. Six Nikon Speedlights and a lot of sandbags and rope. Great subjects and a great crew always seem to make it happen!. Lighting assistant Erinn Locke, hair and makeup by Olivia Chafe. Thanks to musicians Jessica Pereversoff and Cameron Maclellan (whose pictures you will see soon) for being such good sports and total pros. © 2015 Greg Locke

Explore Newfoundland Project 2015
#EXPLORE NEWFOUNDLAND ….adventures in the Newfoundland outdoors is our new project for 2015 where we will be pursuing the spirit of travel, exploration, adventure and the testing of ones physical limits looking for great stories, powerful photos and engaging video of the people who take on the challenges of the land, sea and environment.
In the past couple of years I have been getting re-acquainted with the outdoors and the opportunities for adventure it offers. Hiking, climbing, skiing and any number of human powered endeavors are only minutes out your door in Canada's most eastern province. We have gathered of a few photos from last year to get our project website up and running and throughout the year we will be adding more photos, video and stories as we seek out the best Newfoundland has to offer in outdoor adventure.
So far this year we have been ice climbing on Cape Broyle and snow shoe racing on Three Pond Barrens. In the next few weeks we'll be back with new cross-country skiing. Stay tuned for trail running, rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking and to close out the summer a back country hiking and camping trip through Gros Morne National Park.
visit the #Explore Newfoundland site!

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We'll be holding this meetup at the awesome BizDojo.
Bonus : Sam Minnée from Silverstripe will be giving a short talk about open-sourcing your product. Open-sourcing a product can be a great business move, but does that mean everyone should give their product away? SilverStripe Co-Founder and CEO Sam Minnée will talk about their experiences open-sourcing SilverStripe CMS and suggest some guidelines to help you decide.
An excellent meetup with good discussion and discourse. I really appreciated Sam going old skool for his presentation as it reminds us that if you have some good content to present, then you don't need shiny whizbang visuals to accompany it - if you communicate it effectively. I still like whizbang, but it is good to have a few arrows in the quiver in case technology can't keep up ;-)

The file may be in use or you may lack the necessary permissions to install. I will tell yall how to fix the above error that has been running rampant lately. I have found a fix that works 100% of the time and have posted it on a few separate threads this thread will deal directly on how to fix it. The issue with this error is that when you start the launcher for some reason the computer begins to think that you have actually started it twice and thus both awesomium process and sometimes launch pad process are started twice and or more times. To fix it you need to start with the Task Manager when can be accessed through Clt+Alt+Delete and you go to the processes tab in the task manager. after you have task manager up you start the dc universe launchpad and pay attention to how many awesomium process and launch pads are started (there should only be one up for it to work correctly) If more than one launch pad and/or awesomium process if created you need to delete the "fake" ones to determine which one is the fake is done by: that if you delete the REAL awesomium process then your launcher will go black screen. If you delte the REAL Launch Pad then the Launch pad disappears. There are times when more than two or three awesomium process or lauchpad is formed the idea is the same determine the fake ones and delete them. To work 100% of the time you need to have all the FAKE processes deleted before the checking files is done and if you cant do it that quick then if you delete the fake ones before the lauchpad needs to overwrite it will still work. Thank yall and i hope they fix this annoying issue soon

CofC In the News – Week of May 23, 2016
In this week's installment: advocating for school teachers; the rise of craft beer in South Carolina; a new archeological discovery; and more!
The findings are the work of computational physicist Peter Anninos and astrophysicist Stephen Murray, both of AX division within the Weapons and Complex Integration Directorate (WCI), along with their former postdoc Chris Fragile, now an associate professor at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, and his student, Julia Wilson. http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=38985
The regattas draw competitors who bring in very expensive boats along with crews who stay in downtown hotels, patronize local bars and restaurants, and support the area's marine businesses. Frank Hefner at the College of Charleston estimates that Charleston Race Week regatta brings in $2 million of direct spending over five days. The National Sailing […]
"There's just so much focus on programs that deal with older citizens," said Olivia Adams, a 20-year-old sophomore at the College of Charleston in South Carolina.

I'm praying for a #7 seed in the Dance.
We have a few more victories left in us before Selection Sunday!
Certainly don't want to see an #8 or #9.
(I selected to make this a poll... but it didn't get offered to me.)

10 or 11 is more likely...unless we roll everyone in the Big12 tournament. I'm happy with either 10 or 11...we could make a DEEEEP run with that seed.
#Prohmised Land: Ames, IA
nothing higher than a 10 seed unless we do very well in the Big XII tourney.
Lose the next two: 12 or 13
Beat WV and lose to OU: 11 or 12
Beat both, then lose: 10 or 11
Win beyond that and maybe a 8 or 9, with a 7 possible
Gotta win 1 more to make sure we avoid that 12 seed play in.
Naw ... let's stay home.
watch us play our way into a 8 or 9 now, but this year, i'd be ok with it, there is not a team I'm afraid of
Ill put any dollar that if I get this ball again, Long said, Its going in.
- Naz Long to Markel Brown before hitting the game tying shot.
seriously, an 11 or 12 and play msu or michigan in michigan third round, or play indiana or gonzago somewhere else. Bring on the 1 seed this year.
i would love to face KU in the big 12 tourney AND the ncaa tourney and beat them both times!
Hoof hearted
Right now they will likely be a 12 seed. Hopefully they win a couple more and get the 10 seed. An 8 or 9 could be deja vu from last season, but at least there is not a clear cut dominate team this season. Every team is beatable. Should be an exciting NCAA tournament. Any team could make a run. There is going to be upsets galore.

That's why I say bring on the 1 seeds this year. It'd be a higher profile win if we did pull the upset, and there is no number 1 seed I'm more afraid of than a lot of the 3 seeds. Last year there was Syracuse with Melo, until he got hurt, and Kentucky I wanted to avoid. This year, I'm not afraid of anyone, so screw it, put us as a 9, we can take out Indiana, Gonzaga,(has only made it past sweet 16 1 time in it's history, yet it is a powerhouse(too much media hype)) Duke, Miami (scares me a little) But no more scary than playing MSU in michigan second round.

I'm guessing an 11 seed, maybe even a 12, which would not be good. Big 12 is just not strong enough, and ISU is still not a strong road team.
That being said, whatever the seed, I think this is a team that can be difficult to defend, and can cause a lot of match-up problems for many teams because it just has so many weapons. It all depends on if these guys can get their heads together to play well away from Hilton.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
Plus, give Fred time to prepare for a team, and well.....
...what I wouldn't give to face Michigan St. though.

Lake Mead water level will be trigger for pipeline
LAS VEGAS Opponents of a proposed pipeline to tap groundwater across eastern Nevada now have one more way to fight the project: Pray for the drought to end on the Colorado River.
For the first time, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has established a direct link between its multibillion-dollar pipeline project and the shrinking water level at Lake Mead.
Actually it's more than a link; it's a trigger.
If the surface elevation of the reservoir behind Hoover Dam falls another 21 feet, the water authority board in Las Vegas will be asked to give the go-ahead to construct the pipeline.
Declaring an action point is the newest addition to the authority's Water Resource Plan, which plots how the Las Vegas area's wholesale water supplier expects to keep taps running amid unprecedented drought on the Colorado.
Board members already have approved the pipeline concept and signed off on efforts to secure water rights and environmental permits. But they have never voted to build the project.
That decision will come if, or perhaps when, the surface of Lake Mead sinks to 1,075 above sea level – a low-water mark not seen since 1937 when the reservoir was being filled for the first time.
Water authority General Manager Pat Mulroy doesn't know when that point might be reached.
Current projections by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation call for Lake Mead to remain above 1,075 for at least the next two years. But the lake level is expected slip below 1,092 feet in elevation in July for the first time since March 1965.
The problem, Mulroy said, is that bureau projections are based on average river flow, and the Colorado has been anything but average for the past 10 years.
From 1999 to 2008, the river had about 66 percent of its normal inflow, most of which comes from melting snow in the Rocky Mountains. Over that same period, lakes Mead and Powell, the two largest man-made reservoirs in the United States, lost about half their total volume.
Elevation 1,075 on Lake Mead could arrive as early as next year if the drought deepens, Mulroy warned.
The trigger point was set at 1,075 to give the agency time to reach its closest groundwater holdings in rural Nevada, Mulroy said.
If the lake level falls to 1,050 feet above sea level, the authority will be forced to shut down one of two intakes it uses to draw drinking water from the reservoir. Las Vegas gets about 90 percent of its water from Lake Mead.
The surface now stands about 1,096 feet above sea level. The last time it was that low was in 1965, when much of the Colorado River's flow was being withheld upstream to fill Lake Powell for the first time.
Mulroy said it will take about three years to build a pipeline from Las Vegas to the Delamar and Dry Lake valleys, the first two Lincoln County basins from which groundwater will be drawn.
From there, the pipeline is expected to push into Cave Valley in Lincoln County and Spring Valley in White Pine County.
The authority also is seeking permits to pump more than 16 billion gallons of groundwater a year from Snake Valley, or enough to serve about 100,000 average Las Vegas homes. A state hearing on those applications is scheduled for September 2011.
The groundwater project is expected to take 10 to 15 years to build, Mulroy said.
When it is done, the network of pipes, pumps and reservoirs is expected to stretch about 300 miles north of Las Vegas and cost from $2 billion to $3.5 billion, according to water authority cost estimates now several years old.

Exactly! And by picking one you have identified it.

Ah, but the very action of picking one can up identifies the can. It becomes the can in my hand and then the can on the scale. It becomes identified as separate and different from all other cans.
If the cans were not identifiable, you would not be able to knowingly pick one or to knowingly grasp one.

How do you know whether you are weighing cans if you cannot identify any? For the time the cans are on the scale, they are identifiable and are distinguishable from all other cans both on and off the scale.
If you cannot identify cans, how do you know which cans you have already counted and which cans remain to count?
By any chance, is english a second language for you? Received on Sat Feb 22 2003 - 21:30:43 CST

My three year old daughter has woken up this morning with swollen eyelids, this has happened before and she's had a rash on her body but the last couple of times it's happened its just been her eyelids that have swollen with no rash anywhere, should I get her eyes checked at the opticians or visit our GP?
Written answer:
I would visit the GP. It is difficult to know what has caused this without more details. Children tend to be prone to conjunctivitis, which often settles on its own. It could also be due to an allergy.
We recommend you seek professional advice if you are concerned about your eye health:Book an appointment

Seafire vs A6M Zero: Pacific Theatre (Duel)
by Donald Nijoboer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
There is nothing particularly wrong with this book except that the content is quite slight in terms of the raison d'etre of this series; the combat performance of the two aircraft in regards to each other. The author is first to admit that there is a very thin selection of combats to assess, with most of these being the few times Seafire pilots were able to successfully intercept "Special Attack" Zero fighters. The main exception was what was probably the last big dogfight of the war, when land-defense Zeros tangled with Seafires on a combat patrol over Japan. I'm glad that I was able to pick up this number cheap as part of a package deal.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
Products of vastly different design philosophies, the Seafire F III and the A6M Zero were never intended to meet in combat, and never should have. This book examines these two iconic fighters and their two very different histories.

NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Hughes has been scratched from his start for the New York Yankees against Tampa Bay because of a back spasm.
Hector Noesi replaced Hughes as the starter for the opening game of Wednesday's day-night doubleheader against the Rays.
Hughes felt sore after Friday's bullpen session in Toronto, and the Yankees had pushed back his next start from Monday.
New York manager Joe Girardi said he's unsure when Hughes will pitch again but he hopes to have the right-hander make another appearance before the start of the playoffs.

Here is a video of one of them.http://www.rockyboots.com/S2V
Look at the price and you will see they would be a super hi margin item for Rocky but realistically how many people would spend their own money and buy. Lockheed can sell a bolt for a fighter jet for $75 but highly doubt how its relative to footwear.Jungle boots w/ drain holes go back to Vietnam and were about $20 at A & N stores.

Chevy 327 Small-BlockWritten by Marlan Davis on July 1, 1999 Contributors: John Kiewicz The Quick Facts
The 327 was only in production for eight years, but in that time the engine would become a legend among small-block aficionados. What made the 327 so efficient was its large (for a small-block), 4-inch bore that readily accepted big-valve heads, combined with the relatively short 3.25-inch stroke. With standard small-block 5.7-inch rods, the combo yielded a 1.75:1 rod/stroke ratio, very close to the 1.80-1.85:1 ratio considered by many professional engine builders as optimum for an acceleration engine. Unlike with the later, longer-stroke small-blocks, installing longer aftermarket rods does not severely compromise piston design. In terms of cylinder feeding versus displacement, the 327-inch engine size seemed to dovetail perfectly with available cylinder-head port volumes and camshaft designs.
For all these reasons, many believe that, with the possible exception of the even rarer '67-'69 Z/28 302, the 327 has the most horsepower-per- cubic-inch potential of any small-block. That's important if you're racing in a class based on pounds per cubic inch; otherwise, raw inches are still king. And good luck finding a rebuildable core that'll clean up at 0.030-inch over. CC

Understanding the Punic Wars
Assignments to hand in: Punic Wars Student Map & Information Packet on Punic Wars (see below for directions)
Step 1: Introduction: Look at the map below and read the following text:
After the last Etruscan king was overthrown in 509 B.C.E., the Romans began to extend their influence throughout Italy. In 493 B.C.E., Roman leaders established an alliance with the other Latin-speaking tribes in Latium, the broad plain encircling Rome. Following this diplomatic move, Roman armies - with support from their new Latin allies - defeated three powerful tribes to the north and east, and took control of the mountainous areas surrounding Latium. In 390 B.C.E., however, the tide of Roman expansion was turned back when Celtic tribes from Gaul crossed the Alps and sacked the city of Rome. Still, over the next hundred years, through a combination of perseverance, military skill, and insightful diplomacy, the Romans reestablished their supremacy in central Italy. Finally, in 272 B.C.E., the Romans captured the Greek colony of Tarentum in southern Italy, and by 264 B.C.E. they took control of the entire Italian peninsula.
The Romans perfected two methods of consolidating their control over the territories they conquered. First, they established military colonies in strategically important areas. Second, they offered full Roman citizenship to those who quickly adopted the Latin language and promised to obey Roman laws. In return for such faithfulness, the Romans built roads and public buildings in these conquered lands. This policy of Romanization proved highly effective, as it provided Rome with loyal allies. However, the policy also brought Rome into conflict with Carthage - the other major imperial power of the Mediterranean region - as both competed for territory on which to establish new colonies.
Step 2: Map Activity - Print out the Punic Wars Student Map and label the different stages of the expansion of the Roman Empire as shown on the maps below:
Expansion of the Roman Empire: Punic Wars Map
Step 3: Events of the Punic Wars - First, look at the pictures and print the Student Handouts for each Event of the Punic Wars below. Second, read the follow up text for each Event (below each picture). Third, answer the questions at the bottom each of the Student Handouts on the back of the paper you printed.
Event A: The Rise of Carthage
Phoenician merchants trading at an outdoor marketplace. Trade ships are visible in the background, and slaves carry bundles of merchandise at center. The goods shown here include carpets, ivory tusks, and animal skins.
Student Handout: Event A - The Rise of Carthage
What happened next?
Following the collapse of Phoenician power, wealthy Carthaginian merchants and landowners established an oligarchic republic in the former colony. A Council of Four Hundred, similar to the Roman Senate, followed a policy designed to produce wealth through trade. To protect themselves and acquire new territories, the new leaders of Carthage created an enormous navy. The Carthaginian navy was particularly famous for the quinquereme (pronounced KWIN-kwah-REEM), a one-deck ship with about 50 or 60 oars, five (quinque) men to an oar. Although the quinquereme was heavier and slower than most ships, it was most effective at ramming enemy ships. With their powerful navy, the Carthaginians seized control of the former Phoenician colonies. By 264 B.C.E., they controlled all of North Africa, Corsica, Sardinia, parts of Sicily, the Balearic Islands, eastern Spain, and the Strait of Gibraltar.
With the control of such vast territories, Carthage became a superpower and seemed to have an advantage over Rome. The city of Carthage had a population of 100,000 to 200,000 people compared with Rome's population of 50,000 to 75,000. The city was three times as large as Rome and far more impressively laid out. Carthage could boast of a splendid harbor, spacious markets, busy manufacturing quarters, and beautiful homes for the wealthy - all surrounded by a massive protective wall. The city of Rome, on the other hand, was moderate in size, dirty, and contained few large stone buildings. Furthermore, the Carthaginians had access to a population of 1.5 million people through their colonies and allies. In contrast, the Romans and their subject people numbered less than one million. Still the Romans confidently believed that their well-trained soldiers could resist Carthaginian aggression, and they exercised their military power on land. In his Histories, the ancient Greek writer Polybius (puh-LEE-bee-uss) summarized the standoff between the two powers on the eve of the Punic Wars: "As the Carthaginians maintained without any trouble the command of the sea, the fortunes of the war continued to hang in the balance."

Student Handout: Event B - The First Punic War
What happened next?
After four years of fighting, the Romans decided the only way to drive the Carthaginians out of Sicily was to build their own fleet of ships. In 264 B.C.E. the Romans captured a Carthaginain quinquereme in battle. Roman engineers carefully studied the design, and then used what they had learned to construct 140 ships in the astonishingly short time of 60 days. The Romans also added a new feature to the ships they built, called a corvus (pronounced KOR-vuss) - a wooden gangway with a spike on the end. The corvus stood in an upright position until the Roman ship came next to the enemy ship. Then, the plank was lowered onto the other ship, the spike secured it, and well-trained Roman soldiers rushed across the gangway onto the enemy ship to slaughter the Carthaginian sailors.
After building their warships, the Romans enjoyed several victories. Soon, thereafter, however, they began to suffer horrendous reversals. First, they lost almost 30,000 men in an attempt to invade North Africa. Next, their fleets were caught in several severe storms. The corvuses made the ships top heavy, and they capsized in heavy seas. Roman casualties totaled more than 700 lost ships and 200,000 dead sailors. In addition, the Carthaginians appointed an extremely able commander, Hamilcar Barca, to lead their troops. Hamilcar defeated a number of Roman fleets and conducted raid along the Roman and Sicilian coasts. These victories, which were often the result of his ability to quickly outflank his enemy, earned Hamilcar the nickname "Man of Lightening."
By 245 B.C.E., after 20 years of fighting, Rome's treasury was empty and its people were exhausted. Nevertheless, Roman citizens donated their private wealth to build one final fleet of 200 ships that wisely did not contain the corvus. The strategy paid off, and in a final naval battle off the Sicilian coast, the Roman navy sank 50 Carthaginian ships and captured 70 others.
Carthage could no longer supply her troops in Sicily and sued for peace. According to Polybius, the initial terms for peace presented to Carthage included the following: "The Carthaginians [are] to evacuate the whole of Sicily...[and] to give up to the Romans all prisoners without ransom. The Carthaginians [are] to pay the Romans by installments in twenty years 2,200 talents." This was an enormous sum of money in Roman currency. Later, vengeful members of the Roman Senate increased the fine to 3,200 talents and reduced the payment period to 10 years. In addition, they stipulated that Carthaginians quinqueremes were forbidden to sail in Roman waters. The Carthaginians were in no position to challenge these changes and accepted the treaty. Thus, the First Punic War came to an end in 241 B.C.E.

What happened next?
To reach Italy, Hannibal decided to lead his army over the towering, snow-capped Alps. Wasting no time, he quickly led his army of 40,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 37 elephants out of Spain before the Romans could trap him there. Because the population of Carthaginian citizens was small, most of Carthage's army was made up of mercenaries drawn from Africa, Spain, Gaul, and Phoenicia. However, despite its diverse composition, the army never mutinied against Hannibal, and most of the men expected to make it across the Alps and win glory in Italy. Despite the tremendous challenges involved in transporting elephants over the Alps, Hannibal decided to bring them, according to Polybius, "because enemies were so terrified of the animal's strange appearance that they dared not come anywhere near them.
To move a small group over the Alps would have been difficult, but to move an entire amrmy required tremendous leadership skills. Rocks often blocked Hannibal's path, and mountain tribes ambushed the army. Many men and animals slipped thousands of feet to their deaths. As a result of these hardships, the soldiers often grew frightened and pessimistic. To boost morale, Hannibal frequently gathered his men together and made passionate speeches. Hannibal's actual words were never recorded, but the Roman historian Livy later offered his version of the inspiring lines Hannibal may have used in his pep talks: "What toils andperils you went through for eight months to capture Saguntum! And now that Rome, the capital of the world, is your goal, can you deem anything so difficult or arduous that it should prevent you from reaching it?"
After five grueling months, Hannibal's army finally crossed the Alps and entered the Po Valley in northern Italy. His forces now numbered less than 26,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 20 elephants. Two tribes from northern Italy, who were already at war with Rome, eargerly joined Hannibal's army and made up for the men he had lost. After a short rest, Hannibal quickly defeated a Roman army and began his assault on the Italian peninsula.
Event D: The End of the Second Punic War

Student Handout: Event D - The End of the Second Punic War
What happened next?
Upon his return to North Africa, Hannibal spent several months preparing for Scipio's inevitable attack on the city of Carthage. He recruited as many soldiers as he could, and by 202 B.C.E. had a force of 40,000 soldiers and 80 elephants. Seeking to learn more about Scipio's forces, Hannibal sent three spies into the Roman camp, which was located near Zama, a plain about 75 miles southwest of Carthage. The spies were captured by the Romans but were returned to Hannibal unharmed. Scipio felt this move would deal an unexpected blow to Carthaginian morale. It would show that he was unconcerned about whether Hannibal knew important details about the Roman forces. Hannibal was so impressed with this bold action that he requested a meeting with Scipio. According to Livy, "Keeping their armed men at the same distance the generals...spoke at some length...[and concluded] that arms must decide the issue and [that] they must accept whatever lot the Gods [gave] them."
The day after their dramatic encounter, Hannibal and Scipio led their armies into battle at Zama. At first, the Carthaginians were able to hold their own against the larger, better-trained Roman army. However, when a strong cavalry attack hit Hannibal's forces from the rear, the tide of the battle turned. Although Hannibal managed to escape, the slaughter was horrific. Polybius wrote later that "the Romans were hindered by the quantity of slippery corpses which were still soaked in blood and had fallen in heaps and the number of arms thrown away haphazard."
Following his defeat at Zama, Hannibal himself advised Carthage to establish a peace treaty with Rome, although he realized the terms of the treaty would be harsh for Carthage. In 201 B.C.E. Roman ambassadors arrived at Carthage and presented harsh terms similar to those at the end of the First Punic War. However, this time Carthage was compelled to give up all her interests in Spain and the Mediterranean islands, to surrender all their elephants, to burn all buy 10 of their warships, to pay a huge indemnity (fine) for 50 years, and to never declare war without first consulting Rome. Much to the ambassadors' surprise, Hannibal declared that the terms were not nearly as harsh as he had expected and convinced his government to accept them.
The Romans did not require the Carthaginians to turn Hannibal over to them, perhaps because he was the only leader strong enough to hold Carthage together so that the indemnity could be paid. In time, however, the Romans came to fear Hannibal, and invented a charge that he was conspiring with Rome's enemies. To appease the Romans, the Carthaginians declared Hannibal an outlaw, and he fled to the Middle East, where he was pursued by Roman agents. Eventually, finding himself cornered near the coast of the Black Sea, he committed suicide.
Event E: The Third Punic War

Student Handout: Event E - The Third Punic War
What happened next?
After declaring war, the Roman leaders were determined to destroy and humiliate Carthage. An army of 80,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry was quickly assembled and sent to North Africa. Then, the Romans issued a series of cruel demands, giving the impression that they would not attack the city of Carthage if the Carthaginians accepted certain conditions. First, they insisted that the Carthaginians turn over 300 children from noble families to be used as hostages during negotiations. The Carthaginians complied, but negotiations never began, and the children were never returned. Then, the Romans demanded that all weapons and machines of war be turned over to them. Again, Carthage agreed, and surrendered arms for 100,000 men and 2,000 catapults. Still the Romans were not satisfied. They summoned the Carthaginian representatives, and announced that all citizens of Carthage would have to leave the city and rebuild 10 miles inland. This was too much. The Carthaginians refused and prepared to defend themselves.
Carthaginians put up a valiant but unsuccessful effort to defend their homes. They freed all their slaves and made them citizens so as to enlist their help for the war. The rich citizens gave up all of their wealth so that the government could purchase materials to make weapons. Every open space was turned into a workshop to produce armaments. Men and women worked all day and night to produce 100 shields, 300 swords, 1,000 missiles for catapults, and 500 dars and spears. Women cut off their hair to provide fiber for ropes since no other material was available. Carthaginians held off the Romans for three years, but finally their walls were breached, and after a bloody battle, the city fell in 146 B.C.E. The Roman army torched the city, and it burned for 17 days. The ancient Greek writer, Appian, captured some of the horrors of this even in his Roman History: "The fire spread and carried everything down... many fell dead under the collapsing stones. Still others... were torn asunder into all kinds of horrible shapes, crushed and mangled." When the fire died out, the Romans tore down all remaining buildings, sowed salt into the earth so that it would never be fit for agriculture, and sold the 50,000 survivors into slavery.
So complete was the destruction of Carthage that, even to this day, archaeologists have discovered only a few ancient artifacts in the area. A few tombs, some badly ruined buildings, a number of coins, and a few pieces of pottery are all that remain of this once-great civilization. No Carthaginian literature, major sculptures, artistic works, or religious temples have been uncovered.
Expansion of the Roman Empire after the Punic Wars
The wars with Carthage had a momentous effect on Roman military expansion in the Mediterranean region. Victory in the First Punic War (264 - 241 B.C.E.) left Rome with control of Sicily, and eventually neighboring Sardina and Corsica. During the Second Punic War (218 - 201 B.C.E.), in addition to taking control of Spain, Roman armies began to acquire territory in the eastern Mediterranean. Philip V of Macedon had entered into an alliance with Carthage during the Second Punic War and had plotted with the king of Syria to divide Egypt between them. The Romans sent an army into the east to punish Philip and to forestall the execution of his plans. The result led to the eventual Roman conquest of Greece, Macedonia, Syria, Asia Minor, and Palestine in later years. Finally, victory in the Third Punic War (149 - 146 B.C.E.) left Rome with control of most of North Africa.
Rome continued its expansion into the western Mediterranean in the years following the Punic Wars. In the 50s B.C.E., the Romans sent Julius Caesar into Gaul (present-day France) to subdue the fierce tribes there. Caesar spent 9 years in Gaul, during which time he turned the area now known as France, Belgium, Switzerland, and parts of southern Holland and western Germany into a single Roman province. He also led two invasions of Britain, laying the foundation for future conquest there. By the time of Caesar's death in 44 B.C.E., Rome controlled nearly all of the land surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. These conquests made Rome the most powerful nation in the western world. However, territorial expansion created tremendous social and economic problems for the leaders of the Roman Republic.

Food for thought is the sustenance of philosophers; food for traffic is the current drug store philosophy.
While it's true Walgreen has acquired drugstore.com, dropped the Happy Harry's moniker from mid-Atlantic stores and added to its specialty pharmacies and in-store health clinic rosters, installing expanded food sections in its mainstream stores is what the company has been about for the last year or so. It began with a 10-store test in Chicago that quickly grew into a rollout to as many as 500 stores in cities from coast-to-coast. Walgreen leaned on the pioneering work done by its New York-area Duane Reade subsidiary, whose other innovations include a beer bar in a Brooklyn location and fresh-baked pies keyed to holidays throughout the calendar year.
CVS changed CEOs (Larry Merlo taking over for Tom Ryan) and is once again defending its union with pharmacy benefits manager Caremark Rx, but it, too, is busy taking aim at "food deserts" in metropolitan areas. CVS plans to have groceries and food in 1,500 of its 7,200 stores by the end of this year while adding self-checkout lanes to make quick fill-in shopping trips even quicker.
Rite Aid is also taking a look at what supermarket merchandise might do in drawing consumers into its drug stores. In its toe-in-the-water approach, Rite Aid has spent nearly a year operating 10 stores co-branded with the Save-A-Lot grocery chain in South Carolina markets. The pilot project has drawn positive response from consumers, and the company states that front-end sales in the test stores are about double the chainwide average.

Additional Information
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.

Identifiers that are readable, spellable, and pronounceable
Identifiers that are readable, spellable, and pronounceable.
A "proquint" (see here) is a method of encoding an integer (or really, a sequence of 0 or more 16-bit words) as a sequence of 5-character, pronounceable strings. This is to facilitate easy communication of the identifier via "wetware" (read: human) channels.
Note that because proquint operates on 16-bit (2-byte) words, all the buffers you put into it will need to have lengths that are multiples of 2. You'll probably get awesome stack traces if you don't. Yay!
var proquint = require"proquint"; var id = proquintencodeBuffer0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04; console.logid;
Available via npm:
$ npm install proquint
Or via git:
$ git clone git://github.com/deoxxa/proquint.git node_modules/proquint
Encodes a buffer to a proquint string.
var encoded = proquintencodeBuffer0x01 0x02; console.logencoded;
Decodes a proquint string into a buffer.
var buffer = proquintdecode"fahab-hasab"; console.logbuffer;
Also see example.js.
// we're going to use the crypto module for getting random data var crypto = require"crypto"; // this is proquint! go proquint! var proquint = require"proquint"; // you can use whatever you like for this, as long as you can get the identifier // to fit into a buffer with a length that is a multiple of two var id = cryptorandomBytes8; // buffers are awesome - they let us get nice hex strings to read console.logidtoString"hex"; // here's how we encode a buffer var encoded = proquintencodeid; // this guy is a regular old string console.logencoded; // and this is the inverse! var decoded = proquintdecodeencoded; // another buffer! console.logdecodedtoString"hex";
