Third graders from Bunker Hill Elementary School got to spend some time last month with the chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits who inhabit the Ag Science room at Appoquinimink High School.
The third graders were divided into groups and assigned a teenage mentor currently enrolled in the high school's Level 2 animal science course, who read them stories about the various animals before taking them on a guided tour of the small animal lab.
Ag Science teacher and Future Farmers of America advisor Karen Wiener said the animal science show-and-tell from March 26 to March 28 gave the high school students a chance to demonstrate their knowledge of animal husbandry while engaging the younger students about the connection between reading and science.
"Watching my teenage students share their knowledge and enthusiasm with younger children was one of those special moments in teaching," she said.
Susan Austin, the library media specialist at Bunker Hill Elementary, said the exchange is also beneficial to the younger students.
"By focusing on folktales and fairy tales, we are coordinating the stories with lesson delivery happening back at school as part of the new common core standards," she said, of the program that began last year with the high schoolers' visit to Bunker Hill. "I am grateful for the creative partnership and look forward to continuing the relationship."

Residents of Kent and Sussex counties who live in flood-prone areas are being advised to consider moving to higher ground in advance of the pending winter storm slated to hit Delaware tonight.
Officials at the Delaware Emergency Management Agency said no evacuations have been ordered, but warned that heavy rains, high winds and possible snowfall are almost certain to cause flooding that could make leaving low-lying areas dangerous or impossible during the height of the storm.
The National Weather Service already has posted High Wind, Coastal Flooding and Winter Storm Watches, while forecasters say flooding from the storm could be comparable to recent hurricanes like Irene or Sandy, with wind-swollen tides in some area reaching as high as 7 feet above the average low water mark. Winds also are expected to remain steady at 25 to 35 mph with gusts of up to 55 mph.
DEMA officials said their primary concerns in Sussex County are coastal communities, such as Prime Hook, Broadkill Beach, Angola and Oak Orchard.
Residents of several Kent County communities also are being warned to consider relocating, including Big Stone Beach, Bennetts Park, South Bowers Beach, Bowers Beach, Kitts Hummock, Pickering Beach and Woodland Beach.
While the Coastal Flood Watch does not extend to New Castle County, residents of areas such as Bay View Beach, Augustine Beach, Delaware City and New Castle, where flooding has previously been experienced, should be alert to conditions and ready to move as well.

Credit scoring measures the probability of a person being able to keep payments up to date on a credit facility. In contrast, the Affluence Rating is a measure of how much money someone has, which is an entirely different thing. It is possible to have a great credit score but a poor Affluence Rating, and vice versa, although the two are far more likely to run hand in hand with each other.
|Residents in BN3 6NQ are amongst the most affluent in the UK. The occupants tend to be older than average and will have built a significant proportion of their wealth from increases in property values, although others may have very high income levels and relatively few commitments.
Newspaper Readership
|Newspaper readership is linked with overall income and wealth. This is controversial because newspapers are not the only source of news and some papers attract a wide range of readers, but the correlation is nevertheless a strong one.
Number of Investors
|The term 'investors' in this category relates to ownership of stock exchange quoted shares. The number of investors in an area reflects a higher than average level of disposable income and a better than average ability to save money.
Financial Risk
|'Financial risk' is taken principally from the number of court judgments or decrees in any postcode. This is used as a negative measure of affluence as not all assets may be available to the apparent owner.
Car Ownership
|One of the least reliable indicators of affluence, because cars may be leased rather than owned. If leased - for example a 'company car', car ownership can still give a measure of underlying income.
Property Ownership
|Property ownership is one of the most popular ways of storing wealth and is usually the largest asset available to any individual. This measure is a strong indicator of affluence.

GrassBusters Landscaping Company Inc., of Newark, is scheduled to begin construction on the Carpenter Street Enhancements for the city of Wilmington on Monday, April 1, DelDOT officials said.
Carpenter Street will be closed to through traffic as a result and will be only open to local traffic, Delaware Department of Transportation spokeswoman Louise A. Holt said. Van Buren Street will have lane and parking restrictions.
Construction is expected to be completed in approximately 68 calendar days, pending weather, Holt said.
The location of the project will be on Carpenter Street between Jackson Street and Van Buren Street, she said. Wilmington applied for and was awarded a Transportation Enhancement Project that would help fund the city's downtown revitalization effort to improve pedestrian mobility and safety in the area.
This project will include construction of pedestrian and traffic calming facilities along Carpenter Street, new curbs, installation of curb ramp improvements to meet compliance regulations with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), improved signage, paving, and pedestrian lighting.

Full SubmissionThe Permanent Mission of the Republic of Botswana to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Secretariat of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), and has the honour to respond to the letter submitted by the Co-Chairs of the UNCSD Bureau dated 14 March 2011, requesting Member States to submit by the deadline of 1st November 2011, inputs and contributions for the necessary inclusion into the compilation document that will serve as the basis for the preparation of the zero draft of the outcome document of Rio+20. Accordingly, the Permanent Mission has the further honour to transmit the attached submission on behalf of the Govemment of the Republic of Botswana. The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Botswana to the United Nations avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Secretariat of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) the assurances of its highest consideration. Botswana Initial Submission to UNCSD (October 2011) "We believe that the Rio+20 processes present an excellent pkttfo rm for all Memi cr states, individually and couecttvety, to muster their resoive towards the attainment of sustainable development. Htl Vice-President Lieutenant General Mompati Merafhe UN Gcncral Assemblv (September 26, 2011) Preamble Botswana welcomes the convening of the next UNCSD or 'Rio+20' conference scheduled for June 4-6, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to consider the themes of Green Economy in the context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication (GESDPE), and Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD). We believe the objective of the Conference to renew political commitment to sustainable development, review progress and implementation, to address gaps and challenges as well as new and emerging issues will enhance delivery of sustainable development goals. The IFSD deliberations should furthermore conclude the global discussions on International Environmental Governance (lEG) and the position and role of UNEP. Botswana believes that desertification drought and land degradation should feature prominently in the outcome of Rio+20.TheConferenceshouldgiveemphasisto the implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Desertification including the promotion and strengthening of scientific research base on desertification, drought and land degradation, as well as provision of adequate and predictable financing, technology transfer and capacity building to combat desertification. There is furthermore need to address the various emerging issues such as urbanisation and sustainable cities, climate change, food security and sustainable agriculture, energy and water security, waste management including electronic waste, and disaster management and preparedness. 1.0 From Rio 92 to Rio+20: Achievements and challenges 1.1 Botswana has made substantial strides in pursuing sustainable development. The six-year national development planning cycles have since Independence, concentrated on a robust planning approach which integrates the various sectors in the economy. Botswana's prudent management of its financial resources have resulted in sustained economic growth; environmental conservation and utilisation; programmes and various social protection initiatives, in line with the fundamental principles of sustainable development. The national development planning process is premised on objectives that provide a basis for sustainable development through an integrated approach that allowed scope for inter-ministerial dialogue during planning and implementation of programmes and projects. 1.2 At a policy level Government takes guidance from the Botswana Excellence Strategy for Economic Diversification and Sustainable Growth (2008) and from the 2010 Economic Diversification Drive (EDD), a comprehensive strategy framework to pursue economic diversification through various strategies. The EDD for its Research and Development (R&D) strategy within the context of creating a "vibrant technology driven economy" almost entirely focuses on the technology-based opportunities presented in such natural resource sectors as energy and environment, water harvesting and treatment, biotechnology, and agricultural production and agro�processing. 1.3 At a technical and operational level this has taken the form of various legislation, policies, programmes and projects in support of all sustainable development pillars as well as their inter-linkages. Environmental Impact legislation, natural resource accounting, environmental mainstreaming, agricultural development, poverty eradication, social protection, drought relief and economic diversification programmes have all been pursued with the need for an inclusive development approach in mind. Botswana has furthermore commenced a comprehensive and stakeholder-based process towards the preparation of a National Strategy for Sustainable Development. 1.4 Botswana is ready to share mutually beneficial experiences of value addition in the extractive industries; Government policy formulation, implementation and investment in natural resource management; Creation of an enabling environment for investment in and development of small and medium size enterprises. 1.5 Over the years Government has also embarked on diversification efforts in order to broaden the economic base with the view to improving its performance and sustainability. Government pursued investments through the Botswana Development Corporation (BDC), the National Development Bank (NOB),the Citizen Economic Development Agency (and its precursor the Financial Assistance Policy), the Local Enterprise Authority (LEA), and Botswana Enterprise Development and Investment Agency(BEDIA). 1.6 Sector specific policies such as the draft National Policy on Agricultural Development, the National Strategy on Poverty Reduction (2003), the recently approved Policy on Forestry, the 2008 Policy on Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM), the draft Wildlife Policy, and others also include reference to and objectives towards economic diversification. 1.7 The Ministry of Local Government has adopted a Local Economic Development (LED) framework which is an integrated approach to achieving poverty alleviation through 'pro-poor and equitable economic growth. Specific targeted groups include the poor, the disadvantaged, particularly women, unemployed, landless and the informal sector. The LED framework allows districts to sustainably utilise specific natural resources and economic comparative advantages to encourage targeted enterprise development. 1.8 The Ministry of Environment Wildlife and Tourism is in the process of developing a Green Government Programme which focuses on improving energy and other resource efficiency within Government operations (incl. fuel-efficient vehicle use and fleet replacement, electricity and water use, and renewable energy) and aims to develop sustainable procurement guidelines. 2.0 Green economy in the context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication 2.1 The concept of Green Economy resonates well with the approach of the Government of Botswana to long-term development policy and practice. Principles of sustainable development and the economics thereof underpin various Government policies and strategies as well as the national development planning objectives. As such the Government of Botswana subscribes to the notion of Green Economy with the understanding that it does not replace sustainable development but rather provides an approach to further define the economics of sustainable development. 2.2 Botswana has borrowed the following United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) working definition on Green Economy as a basis for its initial deliberations: "a green economy is one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities". Hence, in its simplest expression, we see a Green Economy as one which is low-carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. Thus, in line with Botswana government policy, Green Economy provides a conceptual framework and an economic vehicle to advance human well-being, eradicate abject poverty and achieve the objectives of sustainable development. 2.3 Green Economy should essentially be about resource efficiencies, reducing pollution, moving away from the current 'brown' economy as it were, and promoting social equity. The concept should therefore provide a full examination of the current economic practices with a view to placing environmental and social equity considerations at the intersection of sustainable development. 2.4 The current economic archetypes which support policies towards economic growth should be interrogated for their sustainability and their inadequacy in dealing with such issues as social equity, poverty eradication, ecological imbalance, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. Furthermore, there is need for alternative economic practices in order to guard against the misallocation of capital which is attributed to the global food, energy, climate change, as well as the financial and economic crises during the last decade. 2.5 A new paradigm is emerging in which economic development and wealth creation should take due recognition of the inclusion of natural capital and the associated opportunities for growth that prevents social inequities while embracing poverty reduction objectives. 2.6 Botswana underscores the importance of ensuring that green economy concept results in developing and maintaining a balance between the need for countries in transition whose economies rely on natural resources, to be assisted with new technology and financing to enable them to continue to benefit from their natural resources in a way that is less harmful to the planet. In this regard, green economy concept should develop models that could be employed by natural resource-rich countries to help them translate their natural resource abundance into economic prosperity through prudent investment and utilization of mineral revenue and beneficiation in order to achieve broader development goals such as improving the welfare of their citizens in health, education and building of infrastructure as well as assistance in meeting their national and global internationally agreed development goals including MDGs. 2.7 BotswanawouldliketocautionagainsttheuseoftheconceptofGreenEconomyto erect Trade and other barriers including aDA or debt relief conditionalities by developed countries which could have adverse effects on the economies of developing countries. There is a growing concern among many developing countries that a green economy may induce subsidies to green production. Imposing new technological standards and categorization of goods could further disadvantage the developing world in the international trading system. Such new standards have the potential to promote new forms of 'green protectionism' that will adversely impact on the exports of developing countries and worsen their terms of Trade. Botswana therefore feels strongly that Green economy should not impose conditionalities on developing countries for aid, debt rescheduling or debt relief. Transitioning including the scoping thereof should be accompanied by appropriate means of implementation, including financial and technical assistance, technology transfer, capacity building and the availing of adequate resources to assist developing countries in transitioning to a Green Economy. 2.8 In an effort to promote awareness on green economy and encourage broad participation in its conceptualization at national level, Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, the UNDP/UNEP Poverty -Environment Initiative (PEl) and the Ministry of Environment Wildlife and Tourism in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development (liED) organised a multi stakeholder consultation on Green Economy in September 2011. Participants discussed the linkages between the economy and the environmental and natural resource management sectors such as agriculture, tourism, water and energy on the one hand and the opportunities within the sectors to alleviate poverty through decent green jobs. The meeting agreed on a more people-oriented sustainable and inclusive development pathway and furthermore agreed on an initial ten-point vision on Green Economy in the context of Botswana: i. Botswana's competitiveness is improved through a preferential focus on diverse, productive and sustainable operations ii. Stakeholders are well-networked so that information flows improve, innovation increases, and partnerships form to achieve shared goals iii. Citizens and poor people in particular are empowered and benefit through decent jobs and livelihoods iv. Government incentivises a Green Economy through enabling conditions, setting high standards across the sectors, and runs its own operations in a consistent, green and ethical manner v. Botswana private sector leads growth, takes initiatives and transforms itself to become more efficient and inclusive; domestic investment is mobilised, and responsible foreign investment is attracted towards green infrastructure, goods and services vi. Major issues are properly mainstreamed like environment, biodiversity, desertification and poverty eradication and there is strong leadership to move to action vii. Resilience is improved through planning that takes a more integrated, coherent and future oriented approach viii. Accountability of all stakeholders is improved, through transparent information on resource stocks, flows and damages and a robust legal framework ix. Built on solid knowledge, scientific and cultural principles including indigenous knowledge and 'Botho' which captures the values of 'humanness', respect, courtesy, integrity, dignity) x. Internationally secure and responsible -cognisant of, and contributes to, Botswana's interdependence and its role in the region and the world. 2.9 The prospects of transitioning towards a Green Economy require to be further scoped out and Botswana identified the following sectors shaving key Green Economy potential: i. Agriculture ii. Energy-transport iii. Water -Tourism and Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) -Waste management 2.10 Botswana would welcome a process whereby countries commit themselves to undertaking Green Economy scoping exercises and to preparing national plans to transition to a Green Economy through an inclusive and participatory process which involves civil society and the private sector. Particular emphasis should be given to the involvement of youth and women organisations and the sustainable development challenges the youth and women face including the creation of decent green jobs. 2.11 Reforming our economic sectors into low carbon and resource efficient sectors will have implications for all communities, sectors and nations. The poorest will be the most vulnerable to the shift and too reduce their vulnerability, it is important to maintain and strengthen social protection systems where these exist, and to establish those systems where none are in place. Social protection can furthermore playa key role in sustaining existing environmental protection practices by reducing poor families' reliance and pressure on natural resources. 2.12 Rio+20 should provide an enabling environment for countries to define their own paths towards sustainable development based on national circumstances and priorities. National strategies or frameworks for sustainable development, poverty eradication and green economy should be considered as an integrated way to address the complex nature of sustainable development. This is particularly significant as sustainable development seeks to enhance the resilience of nations, communities and households as well as ensure that the poor and marginalized are not left behind. 2.13 For landlocked countries such as Botswana it is pertinent that sustainable development and transitioning to a low-carbon green economy is scoped within the context of regional cooperation in transportation and communications infrastructure, energy, land and water resources management, trans-boundary protected areas and natural resource management, Trade and customs. 2.14 The transition to sustainable development requires of each and every country that it reaches a critical mass of changes in policies, institutions, regulation, and incentives to markedly address critical government and market failures and empower civil society engagement and ownership. Such changes need to be consistent and feasible, and take as starting points what we know about the real constraints and bottlenecks. 2.15 Given the potential of green economy to spur investments in new equipment and new technology, transition from old technologies should be gradual and appropriately financed. Accordingly, capacity building, new skills transfer and training to aid proper transitioning to a Green Economy should be foremost in a possible technological revolution. This is particularly relevant in the area of climate change adaptation and mitigation. It is nearly impossible to achieve sustainable development goals without addressing climate change. For developing countries such as Botswana climate change adaptation is a crucial issue particularly for such sectors such as agriculture, development of infrastructure and communication networks, housing, water and health. 2.16 Botswana is of the strong opinion that countries must commit to a process of 'accounting for the environment' by quantifying the value that natural systems bring to our economies. Green accounting frameworks need to be integrated into national accounting practices. Natural capital has no dedicated systems of measurement, monitoring and reporting, and yet our natural capital and its income flows are of crucial significance for jobs and mainstream economic sectors as well as for future economic development. 2.17 Although countries are making impressive progress towards agreed international development targets including the MDGs, Botswana views Rio+20 as a great opportunity to recommit to the MDGs and pursue an inclusive, equitable, and environmentally responsible sustainable development process. The commitment towards the attainment of the MDGs should therefore address key challenges and provide incentives to stop unsustainable policies and practices and accelerate progress towards the eradication of poverty. 2.18 Monitoring and evaluation tools would need to focus on assessing implementation towards the higher results rather than merely measuring effort. Botswana urges international community to commit to the development and implementation of new ways of measuring national 'wealth', specifically with new indicators on societal well-being and environmental health. GDP was never intended to measure national welfare. Not only does it fail to address the well-being of people or environmental quality, but the averaging of incomes per capita in GDP masks poverty gaps, and inequity and social justice issues. It is a flawed metric by which to base and inform policy debates. A global metric system should consider such indicators as the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) to measure the sustainability of well-being or income through access to a range of indicators including health, education, political decisionmaking, security and the fair allocation of resources. 2.19 Sustainable consumption and production including product life cycle and value chain assessment, ecological footprint awareness should be an integral part of a Green Economy and should appropriately capture among others: i. environmental concerns like energy emissions and the materials used in manufacturing ,to aspects such as product originand length of Iife cycle; ii. social criteria e.g. ethical issues such as fair, safe and healthy working conditions; and, iii. economic; factors including cost-saving measures and all costs associated with the Iifecycle of a product including disposal. 3.0 Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development 3.1 Rio+20 should provide guidance and decision on an innovative, reliable and balanced integration of all the three pillars of sustainable development. There is global agreement that reform is desirable in order to bring coherence to the current institutional structures through an enhanced contribution of the environment pillar, such that all the three pillars can contribute harmoniously to sustainable development goals. 3.2 There is also general consensus that UNEP in its current structure is rather too narrow in scope and its resources too limited to effectively deliver on its key mandate as a global Institutional framework for sustainable development. UNEP also cannot sufficiently coordinate MEAs and therefore requires an elevated UN status with a renewed mandate which should build greater coherence between the environmental and the economic and social agendas thereby making the concept 'environment for development' a reality in comprising all dimensions of sustainable development. UNEP needs to be strengthened taking cognisance of the following needs: i. Enhanced cooperation, cohesion and harmonisation between MEAs and other UN bodies; ii. Improved implementation of a poverty-focused development agenda; iii. Enhanced role of NGO [participation in programming] [(co)execution of programmes]; iv. Strengthened science base; v. Clustering conventions and MEAs avoiding duplication and maximizing reporting, compliance and implementation effectiveness; vi. Utilisation of legitimate powers for compliance, enforcement and implementation; vii. Improved international binding environmental decision-making; viii. Sustainable, reliable and predictable financing. 3.3 A reformed UNEP in the form of a UN specialised institution should cluster and coordinate MEAs whilst reducing organisational fragmentation; develop and implement a common reporting format and system for MEAs as well as for earth governance reporting; setup a robust set of accountability mechanisms and a reward system based on performance; develop international norms and standards and a common dispute system; strengthen UNEP presence in different regions of the globe; pursue a joint system of knowledge sharing and capacity building for developing countries along with financial and technological transfer; and be based on a qualified majority voting system which would be binding to all members. 3.4 The reform process of the environment architecture should also result in a more enhanced mandate of the ECOSOC and the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). The relationship between the ECOSOC and the Bretton Woods Institutions needst o be clearly defined to improve coordination of sustainable development goals at international level. Similarly, the work of the CSD should result in improved implementation and effective sessions and session follow-ups, enhanced assessment of regional and international challenges, the overall linkages with MDGs, and the CSD sessions should also provide reinforcement of positions taken in other international forums on economic, social and environmental issues through the CSD process. 3.5 Institutional arrangements to support sustainable development require open, adaptive and coordinated mechanisms to respond to current and emerging issues of the environment and as well as the development agenda as a whole. There is need to strengthen and capacitate internal UN coordination for sustainable development, so that countries may receive more and better integrated support for sustainable development. Botswana would welcome an improved global SD 'architecture' including the option of Sustainable Development Council. As part of an improved IFSD, Botswana supports the upgrading of UNEP in its current mandate into a UN specialised institution for the environment based in Nairobi, Kenya. 3.6 At national level, the conventional sector-based planning should give way to integrated planning and decision making in support of sustainable development where Ministries of Environment or Natural Resources are no longer perceived as the sole custodians of sustainable development but can buttress their policy responsibilities with mandates spanning across other sectors. 3.7 Botswana still remains with the challenge of streamlining structures that would support efforts towards sustainable development. The Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism and that of Finance and Development Planning play an integral part of advancing national sustainable development agenda and have the potential to coordinate national efforts in this regard, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is instrumental in maintaining key linkages at international level. However Botswana will be best served by a dedicated sustainable development coordinating institution established at the appropriate highest level with a greater degree of autonomy necessary to drive and compel policy formulation, integration and implementation to ensure delivery in all the three pillars of sustainable development at national level. A national response towards developing institutional arrangements, policy and planning which addresses green economy and sustainable development will encapsulate the following: i. Assessing the level of uptake of sustainable development principles ii. Coordination of efforts to link environmental management responsibilities to those of the economic focus and the social services provision iii. Determination of the strength in terms of authority, status, resources and capacity of institutions to service the national sustainable development expectations iv. Setting up oversight structures to enforce the agreed protocols v. Strengthening MEA coordination and implementation vi. Reconciliation of national functions across agencies implementing policy and planning decisions for poverty alleviation, climate change adaptation, economic diversification and sustainable development vii. Assessment of performance in implementation of national development plans with a view to integrate programmes directed at advancement of energy, transport, agriculture, water, waste in addressing the green economy themes; and viii. Empowerment drives targeting local authorities to consciously take up sustainable development initiatives. 4.0 Outcome of Rio and Means of Implementation. 4.1 Rio will need to raise the level of ambition and convince the world through tangible evidence of a renewed political commitment to sustainable development; such could be demonstrated by acceptance and implementation of agreements to tackle the challenges of sustainable development and an action oriented outcome document which has been developed in a participatory way, contains specific commitments to action at global and national levels, acknowledges the challenges confronting countries and communities as they strive for sustainable development, provides clear direction for continued international action and hence enables a move from theory to action with practical solutions and coherent institutional structures to carry this forward. 4.2 While individual countries have the primary responsibility for their national development through mobilization of domestic resources and innovative financing, this does not absolve the developed partners from fulfilling their commitments as well as new ones to support the implementation ofsustainabledevelopmentgoalsaswellastheinternationallyagreeddevelopment goals including the MDGs. 4.3 Botswana believes that there is relevance in undertaking a thorough review of internationally agreed development goals including MDGs', and all resolutions and recommendations adopted at international fora since Rio 1992 with a view to get a full overview of which of these metrics and decisions are still valid and require a consolidated follow-up. Consideration should furthermore be given to 'upgrade' the current MDGs to a 'next-generation' set of Sustainable Development Goals. 4.4 Botswanawouldliketoseeastrongerscience-baseddecision-makingprocesswithin the context of sustainable development and hence would welcome a debate on the possibilities and merits of establishing an Intergovernmental Panel on Sustainable Development. 4.5 Political commitment requires translation of support into increased and targeted resources to achieve sustainable development. National budgets, Official Development Assistance, the private sector, debt relief and new financing instruments and architecture all play a role whereby predictable, well targeted ODA can serve as a catalyst for mobilising resources and finance for sustainable development and new financing mechanisms will need to be developed in support of sustainable development objectives. In this regard, the special needs of vulnerable economies and economies in transition including Middle Income Countries should be taken into account when assessing needs and proposing intervention measures. 4.6 Alongside creation of institutional mechanisms and human capacities that will enable effective multi-sectoral decision-making across the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainable development, the involvement of the private sector is key to providing impetus for the realisation of sustainable development goals including internationally agreed development goals and MDGs. 4.7 The above would not be possible without an agreement on an effective, efficient and flexible intergovernmental structure that addresses the fast-moving challenges of achieving sustainable development. As such, Botswana is confident that Rio 2012 will act on the unique opportunity for us to make the case that a green economy can help us generate a practical policy framework towards economic and societal revival. As such Rio will need to provide a framework for bringing sustainable development into core economic decision-making through a process of broad stakeholder participation and working towards the same common goals-that of the needs of people and the planet.

Branded bars
First a little shopping, then a superb lunch: Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani and other fashion designers are now opening bars, cafes and restaurants as well as new boutiques in Milan. And they're just as chic as the shops.
Back to the overview
Catwalk Milan: Armani, Gucci and Versace – all the big names have outlets close to the cathedral and are easiest to get to on foot. But now the designers are looking beyond fashion and branching into frothy cappuccino and sparkling spritz (Italy's popular evening cocktail of white wine, water and Aperol) in their desire to satisfy their pampered customers' every need and whim.
Alessandro would make a fantastic model. He's tall and slim with a cool hairstyle, high cheekbones and eyes that would melt any heart. But instead of strutting his stuff on the catwalk, he stands behind the gleaming black counter of Dolce & Gabbana's Martini Bar. The bar is in the Milan-based fashion empire's signature eccentric style:
black walls, leather sofas, blood-red napkins and a red-gold dragon crawling here and there across the mosaic floor. Victoria and David Beckham, Naomi Campbell and Boy George count among the bar's favored guests.

Fashion meets café
Milan Cathedral, built between the 14th and 19th century, is the world-famous landmark of Italy's fashion capital. Today, all the biggest fashion labels – Armani, Gucci, Versace and the rest – have set up shop just a stone's throw away.
Eccentric chic: The interior of Dolce & Gabbana's Martini Bar is done out entirely in pitch-black and blood-red. The decor clearly appeals to celebrity guests like Victoria and David Beckham, Naomi Campbell and Boy George.
Tall windows and a cool designer interior: The summer terrace of Café Trussardi stands in clear contrast to the neighboring Classical building, the famous La Scala opera house. The cuisine at the café's sister restaurant, Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala, is equally purist – and worthy of its two Michelin stars.
Everyone can do a café! - dachte sich der Mailänder Modekönig Giorgio Armani und schuf auch noch ein Restaurant, einen Nachtclub und einen Einkaufspalast. Für 2010 bereitet er jetzt die Eröffnung seines Armani-Hotels vor.
Armani wanted, as he put it, "to create another space that would mirror my sense of beauty and style": the Emporio Armani Caffè on Via Croce Rossa.

Best Wallet Ever
I have to say that this wallet is the best ever. I just bought a second one after having my first 15 years. This wallet is soft and always smells so good and lasts many years. I recommend this to anyone who wants a first class wallet. You will not be disappointed. This review asked for my rating and the stars only went to five. I would give this item endless stars if I could.
February 11, 2015
Quality Leather
Well stitched and quality leather. I bought a similar 8 pocket credit card case in Charleston about five years ago that was wearing out. I have used it to the point of disintegration. I have been looking for another one. This is exactly the same size. I would like to see the 6 outside pockets spaced a bit better. A little lower on the pockets would make access to all cards a bit easier, but this is not a deal killer. Perfect to carry your important cards, license, etc. and a few business cards in one of the inside pockets. I use a money clip so a wallet is not needed. I have never liked a bulky wallet in my back pocket. Not very comfortable to sit on. This fits in a coat, vest, or pants front pocket easily. It is so small, it never feels bulky or bothers me. I use this all the time. A bit on the pricey side. I like Bosca leather. I have a Bosca portfolio that is over 25 years old and is still beautiful leather.
January 29, 2015
Great wallet if you use a money clip
The vertical slots are significantly easier to pull credit cards out of than the horizontal slots that face each other. Leaves a small footprint in your pocket, too.
I only wish this was still available in NAPA leather, like it used to be (hint, hint).

Happy customer
I ordered this wallet in old leather for my dad for his birthday, and he loves it. He says it's perfect - just the right size so that it can fit in his front pants pocket, but with enough slots so that he can organize his credit cards. He likes the monogram too!
September 26, 2014
Replacement Wallet
Love the size of this wallet. It was to replace the exact one bought years ago that the puppy liked also. Noticed the quality of the leather and stitching has decreased. I compared it to what was left of the older one. I did appreciate the lower price; however, I would rather pay more for a higher quality item.

The best little "wallet" ever
I've been using these for longer than I can remember. When my local merchant stopped carrying them I panicked. Luckily, in the age of the internet I can order directly from Bosca. I use them as a wallet with my cards, business cards, etc. I test the seams everyday and it does fantastic.

I have always loved the Old Leather Classics and this is no exception. I originally bought this for myself because of the compact size, but my husband decided he wanted it for himself. It made a great gift!

Great functionality, appearance, durability
I have a lot of cards, and the credit card case holds all of them. The design allows me to put the most frequently used cards where they are easy to reach, in front or in the vertical pockets. The clean appearance of the case gives it a classy look. And quality...the case looks brand-new after six months of daily use. In this regard it far surpasses any other brand of wallet that I have ever owned.

This is my second Bosca credit card wallet. I received my first as a gift in 1998. Not that there was anything wrong with it. I just wanted a new one. In a different color. I actually use mine as a wallet. I carry my ID, debit card, some credit cards, and some cash in it. Its smaller than a traditional wallet, but it holds the important things. Nothing else is needed. Overall, this Bosca wallet is an excellent choice. And it's well made, too.

Good, but not perfect
Generally good. I like the look, but I liked my discontinued Tumi card case better. The leather is a bit too slick. I've actually had the case slip out of my back pocket while I was sitting on a metal folding chair. The left and right bottom most card slots are not quite deep enough. This makes it difficult to extract the cards from the middle slots.
October 9, 2013
This is the third one of these I've owned over a period of nearly thirty years. It's the perfect combination for me: holds what I need and is not bulky in my back pocket. They hold up extremely well too given that each has lasted for over ten years. I highly recommend this product for its quality and functionality.

Quality before price . . .
The Bosca Old Leather Classic 8 Pocket Credit Card Case is constructed to a standard; not to a price point. The quality is unmatched and the appearance only improves with age. If you want something small to carry the really important cards in your life, this is the product for you. It carries everything I need in a package that does not feel like a rock in my pocket. If your criteria is solid construction with high-quality leather, this is the one for you.

I was so happy when I pulled this one out of the dryer yesterday. This is definitely my best free-motion quilting to date—my stitch lengths are starting to even up and my stippling is getting more curvy and flowing. And I couldn't be more pleased with the design (which uses my Hexing Around block tutorial), not to mention the color palette. The ladies of the Do. Good Stitches Love Circle did a fabulous job on these blocks.
And then ...
... I saw this.
And this.
And THIS!
Um, horrified! I've never had color-bleeding problems before. Just to be on the safe side, I wash all of my quilts with Shout Color Catchers. And they do often catch some dye. An amazing amount of red ended up on the Color Catcher when I washed my Warm/Cool quilt. But I've never had anything like this happen—and the Color Catcher that was in the wash with this quilt only came out with a tiny amount of blue on it! I don't know how foolproof Color Catchers are supposed to be, but this one clearly didn't do its job at all.
It wasn't just one fabric that was the culprit, but appears to be at least two—one of which was in my own block, and it was a Park Slope print from Free Spirit! I am stunned that a high-end designer print like this would bleed so badly. If anyone has any thoughts as to why this may have happened on this particular quilt, please share. Because I'm stumped.
But thanks to wonderful advice from Jeni and several other ladies on Flickr, I've managed to clean up this disaster pretty well. Shout Ultra Gel stain remover, a bottle of Oxi-Clean, and three trips through the washing machine later, and the dye stains have faded considerably. In fact, it might be difficult to find them if you don't know where to look. I hope so, anyway! And this quilt is nothing if not extremely clean, after four launderings. : )
I'm super happy with the back. I love the blue, green, and orange floral plaid from Meadowsweet, but it's not the most usable print in the world. But on a back? Perfection! And it works great with my palette for this quilt.
This quilt is off to Wrap Them In Love, which distributes quilts to needy children around the world. Thank you, Love Circle, for contributing! I also was conveniently able to do this as part of Lynne's Hex-a-Long at Lily's Quilts, which you can check out here. Thank you, Lynne!

The Rondo in B flat major was only published two years after Beethoven's death, in an arrangement by Carl Czerny. It has since been proven that it was originally the final movement of the Piano Concerto no. 2 op. 19, which Beethoven replaced in 1794/95 with the movement we know today. The fact that it closely resembled Mozart's style might have contributed to this decision. At any rate Beethoven kept the manuscript of the rondo all his life, showing its importance for him. Johannes Umbreit has prepared a new piano reduction that is easier to play and is based on the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition.
Deze nieuwe urtext vormt daarmee een belangrijk puzzelstukje dat ons meer inzicht kan geven in Beethoven's compositorische ontwikkeling.

Holiday Card Campaign for Our Troops
As the holidays fast approach and our thoughts turn to family and friends, there are many who won't have the joy of spending time with their loved ones this season. It is exciting that many more troops than we imagined will be home this year but so many more are still serving our country all over the world, separated from family and friends.
Because Sage has a strong commitment to our veterans and our troops, on Veterans Day, November 11, 2012, Alumnae House is kicking off a holiday card campaign for our troops. You are invited to join us on November 11th, November 18th, and December 2nd anytime between 1:00-3:00 pm to sign some cards for our troops to show that we care and are thinking about them. This event is sponsored by the not-for-profit organization Operation Soaring Eagle and is a wonderful way to cheer and thank our troops for all they do for us. Please make some time to join us.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact Erica Kirkland at 518-244-2242 or by email at [email protected]
Refreshments will be available.

Hanover: Wonderful Wendland
Dannenberg, Gorleben, Göhrde – these place names will be familiar to many Germans from the news, but few have heard of all the other charming villages in the region known as "Hanoverian Wendland," to which they belong. And that's a great shame! Located right at the heart of the Germany, this region appears to promise a better life in the countryside. Instead of moving to the city, folks here lovingly restore old farmhouses. Dropouts, organic farmers and artists have come to live in the region's characteristic round villages, and they are surrounded by some wonderful countryside that simply cries out to be rediscovered as each new season comes around.
Round villages/Lübeln:
Several farms and other houses built in a circle, in fact, arranged rather like a barricade of wagons. This type of Slavic round village was quite common in the Middle Ages. Later they often lost their original shape as they grew and changed. Only in the remote Wendland region does time seem to have stood still right up to the present day. Nowhere else have the round villages survived so well, with as many as some 100 settlements of this style, from Bausen to Zeetze, still to be found. The imposing farmhouses with their typical half-timbering mostly date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. In Lübeln, one of the prettiest villages, an open-air museum offers visitors a close-up experience of life in a round Wendland village.
Rundlingsmuseum Wendlandhof Lübeln: Lübeln 2, Küsten, Tel.: +49-(0)5841/96 29-0. Open: Apr-Oct, daily 10am-6pm. Nov-Mar depending on the weather (closed in ice, snow and severe frost). Admission: €3.50 (reduced €1.50-2). www.rundlingsmuseum.de
Elbe floodplains/Biosphaerium:
Over the centuries, the Elbe River has carved itself a broad valley through the Wendland region – creating unique habitats for beavers, storks, sea eagles, wild geese and many species of fish in the process. But the Elbe floodplains not only provide a sanctuary for rare creatures, they also offer humans a wonderful place to get away from it all on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. The Biosphaerium Elbtalaue museum at Bleckede Castle offers insights into life in and beside the river with aquariums that afford a glimpse below the surface of the most species-diverse river in Europe. Beavers can even be observed in their natural habitat here.
Biosphaerium Elbtalaue: Schlossstraße 10, Bleckede, Tel.: +49-(0)5852/95 14 14. Open: Apr-Oct Tue-Sun 10am-6pm, Nov-Mar Wed-Sun 10am-5pm. Admission: €7 (reduced €3.50-5). www.biosphaerium.de
Göhrde State Forest in Wendland is one of the largest areas of mixed woodland in North Germany. Due to its complete lack of rivers and streams, the area was never settled although many princes claimed it as their hunting ground. Even the German Emperor hunted here. Today, the 75-square-kilometer area is home to fallow and red deer as well as mouflons. Must-sees here are the equally ancient and giant trees, especially the oaks, which are now officially protected as acknowledged natural monuments. Visitors can discover some of the forest's secrets at the Naturum Göhrde museum, which occupies a stable at the old hunting lodge.
Naturum Göhrde: König-Georg-Allee 5, Tel.: +49-(0)5855/675. Open: Apr-Oct Wed-Fri 2-6pm, Sat+Sun 10am-6pm. Admission: €3.50 (reduced €2). www.naturum-goehrde.de
