DER Touristik: Our Profile
More than 6 million guests a year — DER Touristik is today one of the leading travel and tourism groups in the German-speaking world. €4.9 billion in sales in 2014 was the result of the tremendous efforts of 7,050 employees. DER Touristik is divided into three differentiated divisions: the tour operators for classic holiday travel at DER Touristik Köln and the operators for individual and long-distance travel at DER Touristik Frankfurt & Co. KG and the travel agency sales operation DER Deutsches Reisebüro & Co. OHG, both with headquarters in Frankfurt am Main.
Our Tour Operator Brands
In consolidation, the tour operators at DER Touristik are Number 2 on the German market.
Our Travel Agency Sales Operation Brands
DER Touristik is at present clearly with about 2,000 sales offices the market leader in Germany for brick-and-mortar travel agency sales operations. The travel agency sales operation at DER Touristik breaks down into branch office sales with the brand DER, including own travel agency sales of DER Reisebüro, online sales at the domain DER.COM, the franchise sales business with the brand DERPART and the sales offices of the DER Touristik Partner-Service (DTPS) comprising two chain and four cooperation systems and the franchise system DER Touristik Partner.

Winter 2015/16
Special offers for groups – "Gruppenreisen weltweit"
Dertour devotes special attention to group and reader tours. In line with the theme of "Discovering countries and other cultures together", in its adventure travel programme the tour operator offers a wide range of unusual, global group tours that can be undertaken by air, rail and bus.
Social Commitment
Just as DER Touristik is committed to environmental protection, we also care about the local population and, of course, our holidaymakers themselves. DER Touristik is involved in a variety of projects promoting social stability and cultural diversity.
Green Travel
Prevailing environmental problems such as climate change or the loss of species and habitats also concern the tourism industry. This plays a dual role in this context: it is both a potential contributor to these environmental threats and a victim. Therefore, the conservation of an intact environment, as one would want to experience when on holiday, is one of the main concerns of DER Touristik. For this reason, we actively contribute to environmental protection.

IN THE modest assembly hall onthe campus of the senior secondary school in Maun, Botswana, about 50 students, teachers and librarians are poring over stacks of books of every description. It's a sweltering day in October 2008, but the visitors are wearing their best attire. In one corner, three teenage girls are absorbed in the pages of a romance novel, hands covering their mouths as they giggle. In the middle of the crowd, a tall boy flips through a Hardy Boys novel. Petite, blonde Pam Shelton, dressed in khaki shorts and a T-shirt (all the better to lug around piles of books), thrusts a hefty paperback into his hands. "You like the Hardy Boys," she says to the student, "so I'm sure you'll enjoy this thriller. If you promise to read it, you may take it home without a donation." The young man hesitates; it's a thick book. Shelton bounces rapid fire into a plot summary, and two minutes later, he is smiling, nodding, eager to dive in.
Shelton, the 59-year-old founder of the Botswana Book Project (BBP; botswanabookproject.org), is doing what sheloves best: matching people and books. It's the second day of a five-day book-choosing marathon, and the books, shipped from the United States, are the star attraction; about 25,000 of them are heaped onto rows of folding chairs and stashed in boxes lining the walls. The Batswana (as the people of Botswana call themselves) make their choices, give a small donation, then take the books back to their schools, day care centers, hospitals, AIDS clinics and homes. Since the program's inception in 1999, countless individu-als and 458 institutions have received a total of 320,000 books through the BBP, which is fueled almost en-tirely by Shelton's relentless desire to promote the mind-expanding power of reading. Once a children's librarian, Shelton describes herself as a "book farmer, seeding Botswana with books and waiting for a crop of readers."
Thirteen years ago, Pam Shelton was 46, long divorced and feeling decidedly restless. She was just finish-ing up her twenty-third year as head librarian at the Shelburne Village School, in Shelburne, Vermont, where she'd built an enormously successful reading program for the school's 900 children in grades K through eight. That fall, her only son would be heading back to Harvard, and Shelton wasn't really looking forward to the start of another school year. When friends who were working for USAID in Botswana in-vited her for a visit, she quickly bought a ticket.
Within days of arriving she met a safari guide, and romance blossomed. She also fell in love with the lifestyle and good-humored courtesy of the Batswana, now well-known to many Americans through Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Shelton wanted to learn about village life, so her guide arranged for her to spend a week in Marutsa, a tiny, remote place in the north. Shelton arrived with a sleeping bag, a mosquito net, water, crackers and canned tuna, and she slept in a small, round hut with a mud floor. Her bathroom consisted of bushes. When she helped village women fetch water from a stream, they had to hide from thirsty elephants. It was extreme culture shock, "terrifying and exhilarating at the same time," she recalls. "I felt more alive than I had in years."
With the exception of one man who translated for her, the villagers spoke only Setswana (one of the na-tional languages), despite the fact that English is the official language of the country. "A troop of small boys followed my every move," says Shelton happily. "I was the best show in town."
Marutsa had no school, and the women told Shelton that their greatest wish was for their children to learn to read. Wanting to return a bit of the friendliness she'd been shown, Shelton held a story hour every morning in a dusty clearing under a tree, acting out the tales, to the delight of every child within walking distance. "I smiled so much, my face felt sore," she recalls, "but it really is true that a smile is a universal language."

Regarding the mandated data retention sections of the SAFETY Act of 2009
Sent via e-mail to Senators Specter and Casey, as well as Congressman Altmire, all of Pennsylvania…
Senators and Congressman,
I write in regards to a bill with the short title "Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth (SAFETY) Act of 2009". This bill was introduced with virtually the same text into the House by Mr. Smith of Texas as H.R. 1076 and into the Senate by Mr. Cornyn as S. 436.
While the overall goal of the bill — a reduction in the use of the Internet to facilitate the trafficking of child pornography — is noble, I am concerned that a key section of the bill is overbroad and unenforceable.
The section to which I am referring is Sec. 5, the "RETENTION OF RECORDS BY ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS." I include the text of the section here for reference:
Section 2703 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: "(h) Retention of Certain Records and Information- A provider of an electronic communication service or remote computing service shall retain for a period of at least two years all records or other information pertaining to the identity of a user of a temporarily assigned network address the service assigns to that user."
My interpretation leads me to understand that this section would require any person operating an electronic communication or remote computing service to retain at least two years of logs of temporarily-assigned network addresses.
If interpreted as broadly as possible, this law could require every person who owns an Internet router — a very common, inexpensive, often wireless-capable networking device — to retain these logs for two years. These devices have a very limited storage capacity and generally do not have logging facilities enabled by default.
This law would essentially obsolete every home and small business router, as Americans would be compelled by federal law to buy a certainly more expensive router capable of storing an great amount of log files. This device would also have to be capable of backing up these logs to one or more external devices in order to ensure that the owner is protected from device failures. The price of these new routers would be much higher than the current market price of a router and this legislation would open the possibility of lawsuits against router makers when a router fails to log or retain the logs.
While this procedure is standard rigmarole for computer- and technology-savvy Americans, including information technology professionals, it is a difficult and potentially costly one for those who are not so inclined.
A single power outage or accidental or natural disaster could put someone in a position where they have violated federal law, as they acted as an electronic communication and remote computing service provider and did not retain records as federal law requires.
This is, of course, assuming that the federal agents responsible for enforcing this legislation do in fact police it. Instead, this new data retention requirement will go largely unnoticed, unacknowledged, and unenforced. It will become a law used to convict the ignorant, the careless, and the negligent instead convicting those actually responsible for exploiting children.
I can assume that one or more of you has a wireless router in your home. This law would apply to you, as well. You would need to ensure that your wireless router logs all addresses which it assigns, and you would need to ensure that your logs are retained for at least two years. If for some reason something happened and those logs were lost, you would be guilty of violating federal law.
Moreover, the identifying information contained within these logs is easily fabricated and even easier to masquerade. Two of the three major operating systems can masquerade the most commonly used unique network hardware identifier — a MAC address — with a simple command. A trivial program does the trick for the third. Such a simple fact would easily dismiss a MAC address as evidence in a court test of this entire law, not just the section against which I am campaigning.
I understand that these bills have probably been referred to committees for further exploration. I urge you to exercise extreme caution if this bill comes up for vote alone or as a part of a larger piece of legislation. I urge you to see Section 5 stricken in its entirety on the grounds that it is unenforceable and overbroad.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you wish to discuss these or other technology-related bills, my phone is always handy and I'm always willing to share my knowledge.
Colin Dean
Volant, PA
CC: Senator Casey, Senator Specter, Congressman Altmire

SIS Names Faculty, Alumna of the Year at Pakistan Embassy
In a ceremony at the Embassy of Pakistan April 11, two members of the SIS community were honored with the school's highest faculty and alumna awards.
Professor Rachel Sullivan Robinson was named the 2012 - 2013 recipient of the F. Gunther Eyck Award, given annually since 2011 to an SIS faculty member who demonstrates dedication and devotion to teaching and students. Lisa Martilotta Lamprecht, SIS/MA '03, received the Alumna of the Year award for her work in development regarding women and youth in developing countries.
Nominator Professor Jeff Colgan said of Robinson, "She is the kind of professor who students remember years or even decades after leaving her classroom. Rachel consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to mentoring advanced students."
Robinson, however, credited her success to those students.
"Working with students is a two-way street," she said. "Teaching is about finding ways to help people learn [and] about figuring out how to support them in that process. It is thus my students at AU who have taught me to be a teacher … without you, I would be left with far fewer opportunities to share the learning process with others."
Dean James Goldgeier described Eyck, who taught at SIS from 1959 to 2006, as a man with "a contagiously optimistic personality [who] cared deeply about his students. It was his attention and devotion to students that prompted this award in his honor," endowed by his family.
Lamprecht was nominated by friend and colleague Carlynn Spring, who praised Lamprecht as "an incredibly responsible, selfless businesswoman, fast-paced and extremely smart."
After posts in the U.S. State Department, Department of Homeland Security and with the U.S. Trade Representative, Lamprecht narrowed her career focus and moved to Kigali, Rwanda, where she became executive director of the Akilah Institute for Women, a college offering market-relevant education empowering graduates for success.
Speaking in a video from Switzerland, where she is based, Lamprecht explained her motivation.
"For me, serving people is a global thing. It's not too relevant to me exactly where I'm serving. What's important is that I'm serving an institute whose mission and people I believe in, and that's why I joined Akilah."
In her closing, she offered advice to current SIS students.
"Serving any community is important… it's about giving back to communities that are less fortunate than ours, and using your skills and knowledge to impact their lives."

Esophageal spasms are abnormal contractions of the muscles in the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). These spasms do not move food effectively to the stomach.
Diffuse esophageal spasm; Spasm of the esophagus
The cause of esophageal spasm is unknown. Very hot or very cold foods may trigger an episode in some people.
It can be hard to tell a spasm from angina pectoris, a symptom of heart disease. The pain may spread to the neck, jaw, arms, or back
Nitroglycerin given under the tongue (sublingual) may help a sudden episode of esophageal spasm. Long-acting nitroglycerin and calcium channel blockers are also used for the problem.
Long-term (chronic) cases are sometimes treated with low-dose antidepressants such as trazodone or nortriptyline to reduce symptoms.
Rarely, severe cases may need dilation (widening) of the esophagus or surgery. to control symptoms
An esophageal spasm may come and go (intermittent) or last for a long time (chronic). Medicine can help relieve symptoms.
The condition may not respond to treatment.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of esophageal spasm that don't go away.
Avoid very hot or very cold foods if you get esophageal spasms.

"I made these cupcakes for a family gathering and they were a hit. While I loved the entire cupcake, I prefer to make just the cake part without the truffle. It is now my go-to recipe for chocolate cake and is excellent with just whipped cream or a chocolate frosting. The coffee helps deepen the chocolate flavor so much. I usually double the recipe to make two 9" cake layers or to fill a 9x13" cake pan."

Rated 2.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aimie So Fun! My son loves this thing. [...] It's pretty small but big enough for a 7 year old to pretend he's a real indian. A grownup us definitely going to have to help set it up and the plastic frame is a little fragile around the corners. We broke one pole off at the join but the tepee still works. I saw a similar one recently for $50 so all in all a good value and loads of fun. August 10, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by lesley So cute, but... I have a 4-yr-old and a 2-yr-old and they've been into "hiding" lately. Thought this would be such fun for them since we're stuck inside much of the summer due to the extreme heat. They DO love it, but the elastic strap that holds some of the poles together broke on the first day. They weren't being extremely rough with it or anything. Used yarn to try to piece it together which is working for now. Not sure how long it will last, but it was a good idea (next year...maybe just increase quality a bit). June 28, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by kimbo Not the best quality My girls couldn't wait to play in this but, unfortunately, when set up the plastic parts broke easily and the tepee crumbled after the first set-up. We wanted to like this so badly. Oh well. May 22, 2011

Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons, and Representative John Carney (All D-Del.) announced an award from the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program (EMPG) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today.
Awards from the grant will be used to enhance emergency response capabilities of states. In FY 2014, Delaware will be awarded $3.2 million, an increase from $3.06 million in FY2013.
"The safety of our communities depends on the investments we make in emergency-preparedness," said Senator Coons. "As the lowest mean elevation state in the country, Delaware and our coastal communities are often among the hardest hit when extreme weather occurs. This funding will help us continue to invest in making our state more resilient and will ensure our first responders have the resources they need to protect Delawareans in an emergency."

Utah State Fair (September 9-19) Pig Races and Boys II Men, need I say more? I must admit, I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, yet I've never stepped foot into the Utah State Fair. This year is the year I vow to initiate myself and take part in all the fried-up fun. Plus, there's a Fat Boy Ice Cream sandwich eating contest, which I've been training for all summer long. And the entertainment? Boys II Men. Yes, please. They may have been popular when I was like...3, but 'I Swear' the boy band phase is making an epic come-back.
Side Note: Can anyone confirm whether or not there was actually a cow sculpture made from butter at a past state fair?
Pumpkin Spiced Everything Lattes, candles, cookies. I'm a sucker for pumpkin anything. Sept. 1 is the big day for the pumpkin preview in most places, including sl-fav coffee shops frothing up my java w/ a little fall spice served alongside a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. Talk about a healthy way to start your day.
And for an even healthy way to end the day? Uinta's Four+ Punk'n Beer. As a self-proclaimed pumpkin beer connoisseur, I have taken it upon myself to seek out the very finest of holiday pie-spiced ale. So far, the local beer has taken top honors in my book, although I'm certainly open to suggestions to challenge my decision.
Fall Football Season I look better in blue, but I bleed red. I can't say I'm a football junkie or know much about the pigskin, but I do love me some Utah football. The Ute's kick-off the season Sept. 2 at home vs. Pittsburgh at 6:30 p.m., although I'll be tailgating, one of the best parts, will begin well before then. The season, with 6 games at home, is bound to be exciting with face-offs including UNLV, New Mexico, TCU, Air-Force and the highly anticipated 'Holy War' with BYU.
The Dirty Dash And you thought The Utah County Fair was the only place you could see pig races this month. The highlight of my month takes place at Soldier Hollow, Sept. 25. I'll be running, along with 9 other SL-maggers, a 10k obstacle course....in mud.
The first time event, which sold out in a mili-second, is hosting 4,000 dashers who are lookin' to get down and dirty for a good cause. Come watch (and pelt water balloons at) us run, slip, slide and splash our way to the finish line. The mud trudge will benefit the Soldier Hollow Legacy Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Yep, this is what we're runnin'....
The Salt Lake Greek Festival Opa! My blonde hair/green eyes/pale skin complex is certainly not that of a Greek goddess, but anyone who knows me is well aware that I have a deep desire to a) marry a Greek or b) become an honorary Greek. I have an overwhelming fascination with the culture, food, customs and fun associated with the ethnicity. The annual Greek Festival is the one time of year I can actually pretend I'm from Athens, fantasize about smashing plates and drown my Polish misfortune in Baklava. The festivities take place Sept. 9-12 in the side lot of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, located on 279 South 300 West.
...and that's just a starter list.
Now its your turn, tell us what you are most excited for this fall in the comments section below.

ZF-9643: basic Zend_Acl::setRule() doesn't work properly with null arguments on $roles or $resources or $privileges
$acl = new Zend_Acl();
$acl->allow('role','res','privilege'); echo $acl->isAllowed('role','res','privilege'); // 1
$acl->removeAllow('role',null,'privilege'); echo $acl->isAllowed('role','res','privilege'); // again 1, why?
//Same goes with null on $roles or $privileges //So to imitate "null" behavior I had to list all the roles, resources, etc. :(
Fixed in 22580 & 22581 in trunk, and will be available in next minor release.
A new patch has beed added to ZF-10649.
I encourage everyone to test it out as it may affect developers who were watching this issue. It is backwards compatible, and fixes a new issue that has arisen from this fix.

Overall Experience
Staybridge Experience
April 18, 2016
I have been here at least twice now. Overall a good hotel and very nice staff. Very minor things that can be taken care of in the rooms. The pool needs renovating because it looks like the roof is decaying. Did not take full advantage of all the hotel has to offer but overall I didn't complain about my stays. I will be back often for my business and this is a good hotel to come back to everyday after a long day. Good location and convenient area.

I've always eyed these Haribo Raspberries in stores ever since I was a little kid. These was something so pleasing, so attractive, so beautiful about these little candies. It wasn't until recently that I got to try them, so they always have this mysterious lure to them. Which is funny, since they're not anything more than non pariel covered gumdrops. Still, visual appeal holds a lot of clout in confectionery, and these are really stunning.
As soon as I was home I opened the bag to see what these looked like up close. Each raspberry is about a size of a gumdrop, with the base around the size of a penny. They feel light in your hand, with a cool feeling from the bumpy outsides. They are so cute! I can totally see these growing off of a candy bush in Willy Wonka's garden.
The red one are the red raspberry flavor, more floral and juicy and like a real raspberry with notes of strawberries and floral accents with a twinge of sour. The non pariel outsides are sweet, but flavorless. The texture of the non pariels are starchy, and the gummi is nicely firm, but not too hard or rubbery.
The black raspberries, or blackberries, taste more deep and sweet. There's no light sour note here, and they're more juicy and blueberry/black berry flavor with more ripe accents to them.
Both are very yummy and the flavor texture is really neat and different, not to mention they look so cool.
Aside from how fun and tasty these are, I can see lots of fun applications for these. I want to use them as cupcake/cake decorations, but sadly I don't bake such items too often. Regardless, they're worth a try!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates the body's basic functions and activities. It is made up of two major divisions, including the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (consisting of all other neural elements). The central nervous system controls thought, behavior, and movement. The peripheral nervous system relays information to the central nervous system for transmitting messages to muscles and glands
In addition to the brain and spinal cord, principal organs of the nervous system include the eyes, ears, sensory organs of taste, sensory organs of smell, and sensory receptors in the skin, joints, muscles, and other parts of the body.
The nervous system is vulnerable to various disorders. Because of its complexity and the high technology used in evaluation and treatment of its disorders, the branches of medicine, physician specialists, and clinical services that manage it are as numerous and varied as the disorders and conditions.

We will be using this discussion format throughout the workshop to ask and answer questions on various topics. We encourage everyone to participate freely.
For starters, please jump in to say hi, to introduce yourself and/or just to make a test post and see how it works.
I will go ahead and introduce myself...
I am Karin, the sender of lots of emails! I work for SERC and spend most of my time involved with the Cutting Edge series of workshops. This is my first 'virtual' workshop, however I teach online and I participate in the occasional online forum, so this format is a comfortable one for me.
I teach an introductory course in environmental geology and I use a data-based assignment about hurricane frequency in the North Atlantic. I like the data-driven approach but I am looking for more ideas to strengthen this assignment. I have also noticed that some students go way overboard with the relationship between hurricanes and climate change. Some of them like to blame every recent hurricane and disaster (including earthquakes!) on climate change. So I am looking forward to hearing more about the recent science so that I can get a clearer picture of the relationship.
OK, enough about me. Now it's your turn - click the 'add to the discussion' link below to share your own introduction and thoughts.

The formerly enclosed working area of Brown Boveri & Cie, where in the past turbines and electrical motors were manufactured, to be converted to a lively urban square. However, even in this new configuration, the heritage of the Place can still be perceived. The Brown Boveri-Square is being transformed from an industrial to a cultural square; culture meaning also "cultivating", since a classical tree formation outlines the square, leaving the center free. A further refinement of the new public space is achieved through the use of decorative casting moulds, which are conceived as a development of the well-known industrial steel applications.

After Strong Early Push, Women's Lights Claim Bronze At Eastern Sprints
Wisconsin was able to move past Princeton for second place in 6:30.876, though Tiger head coach Paul Rassam thinks that his team's push for gold may have ultimately caused it to earn bronze. And it was that push that he was most proud about.
"Our 1V swung for the fences, taking a very aggressive race against the top seed Radcliffe," he said. "We led the first 400 meters. Perhaps that cost us the silver. Maybe we extended ourselves a little too much. I don't know. I'd rather go for it like that 10 out of 10 times.
"I'll see if the athletes agree or want to take a more conservative approach at IRAs," he added. "I don't know, but I think next time around we can swing big but also maintain our speed a bit better in four weeks time. One thing is clear, the league is deep and fast this year and it's exciting."
Both the 2V and the V4 missed the medal stand, but Rassam is confident that his group will be ready to compete for multiple medals when they reach Mercer Lake at the end of May for the IRA National Championships.
"We look forward to putting together a strong four from the 2V group for IRAs and refocusing in the 1V8 on how to execute a more perfect piece," he said.

Introduction to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook
The Agricultural Outlook, 2015-2024, is a collaborative effort of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
It brings together the commodity, policy and country expertise of both organisations and input from collaborating member countries to provide an annual assessment of prospects for the coming decade of national, regional and global agricultural commodity markets.
Executive summary and key findings from the 2015-2024 edition
Prices for crops and livestock products showed diverse trends in 2014. Among crops, two years of strong harvests put further pressure on prices of cereals and oilseeds. Tighter supplies due to factors including herd rebuilding and disease outbreaks supported record high meat prices, while the prices of dairy products dropped steeply from historic highs. Further adjustments to short-term factors are expected in 2015, before the medium-term drivers of supply and demand take hold.
Special Feature: Brazil
This year's Outlook contains a special focus on Brazil. This country ranks among the world's ten largest economies and is the second largest global supplier of food and agricultural products. Brazil is poised to become the foremost supplier of additional global demand, much of it coming from Asia. Supply growth is projected to be driven by continued improvements in productivity, with higher crop yields, some conversion of pasture to cropland and more intensive livestock production. Structural reforms and a reorientation of support towards productivity enhancing investments, for example in infrastructure, could foster these opportunities, as could trade agreements that improve access to foreign markets.

I've waged a lifelong battle: me versus estrogen, progesterone, serotonin and their other unpronounceable friends. I may win for a little while, but they're guaranteed to come raging back and kick my butt monthly.
Given that I got my period when I was 13, I have been fighting this war for 27 years now. That's as long as the combined years America fought in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and the Barbary Wars (which I've never heard of but apparently we were involved in somehow). I'm getting tired of this unending vicious cycle with my cycle.
It started back in eighth grade when I got my period for the first time. Before I have my period, I am one moody, sobby, stabby girl. Yes, I get the bloating and food cravings and whatnot, but that stuff doesn't bother me--what does is the inability to control my emotions. If I'm irritable and itching for a fight, you can be sure I'll figure out a way to pick one. If I'm on the sad end of the spectrum, sets in and I feel like a useless human being, regardless of my accomplishments. I have my period as I write this, in fact, so I'm currently convinced no one likes me and I'm an utter failure.
You'd think after all these years my body would get accustomed to the hormonal changes and adjust to them, but that's not the case. While I'm much better able to deal with it now, every time it happens it knocks me back anew.
So I motored along unhappily with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), as my period problems are officially called, and then I had a baby at the age of 32. It would have been nice if someone had told me PMDD is a risk factor for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders like postpartum depression. After my first child was born I had a nightmarish case of postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder that took me a year to recover from, and another year after that to get over the post-traumatic stress. Take all the irritability and anxiety and depression of PMDD and kick it up about 10 notches, multiply that by a quadrillion, and you might have an idea of what it felt like. I'm grateful I was able to get through it, with professional help, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't change me profoundly.
And now? Now I'm 41 and having a ball with perimenopause. This is the time when your period goes all wonky, or, in more medical terms, becomes irregular. I can't believe it is even possible for my moods to be more "swingy" than before. The average age of onset is 51, by the way, and I started at 39. Why am I not surprised?
A recent study found that the likelihood of major depression increases during perimenopause, and that women with histories of premenstrual syndrome or postpartum depression are at particular risk. This means my emotional changes are likely to be wild for the next several years.
Wish my husband luck.
I'm not sure why I'm one of those unlucky women who are supersensitive to every single hormonal change that comes down the pike. It would have made my life a hell of a lot easier had I not been. Those of you who don't have such difficulties must look at look at me (and women like me) and think, "What is your problem? Toughen up!" I would if I could, believe me.
In their enlightening book Women's Moods: What Every Woman Must Know About Hormones, the Brain and Emotional Health, Dr. Deborah Sichel and Jeanne Watson Driscoll explain that some women's brains "have the resiliency to withstand the impact of hormonal changes. This may in part be caused by differences in genetic makeup. Perhaps these women's brains come equipped with chemical 'circuit breakers' that allow them to reregulate serotonin when estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate." I am not such a woman. I wonder if I could go to Sephora and buy some new genetic makeup to replace the lousy stuff I've got?
It stinks to be biochemically challenged. However, it helps to know you have those challenges and to be prepared to take them on, instead of being taken by surprise over and over again. I finally understand that this is something I will always be dealing with, and I know to tell all and any of my medical providers about my history of hormonal difficulties. My dalliances with depression and anxiety aren't my fault, and I know they can be managed. Best of all, I will be able to tell my daughter about all this at the start of what is likely to be her own battle with hormones.

And by combining enough power with ease of handling and excellent all-round visibility, it allows you to safely handle whatever traffic throws at you. Bottom Line it will take you and your cargo from A to B and on to C, all day and for many years to come. We would recommend the FL as the truck of choice for quick deliveries in and around town, for refuse collection and other municipal services.
The unbeatably rapid response and the powerful torque from low revs make the Volvo D7F engine ideal for various forms of distribution operation, especially in the urban environment. Also, the precise fuel injection results in an extremely efficient combustion.
The Volvo ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension) automatically adjusts itself and compensates for unevenly distributed loads. Leaf springs of parabolic type provide an excellent ride without bumps even under low axle loads.
With the Volvo FL you can always find a transmission that is suited to your particular transport assignment. You can choose between two manual ones, one automatic and the Volvo I-Sync. All represent light-shifting gearboxes with perfectly spaced ratios.
Interested in buying a Volvo FL? Identifying your ultimate transport solution is best done by meeting up with someone dedicated to the whole process of buying and owning a Volvo Truck. Together you will finalise the specs, find the best financial deal as well as the most appropriate service agreements for once your truck is on the road.

There's a serious lack of women working in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering and math. But nearly 300 women who are leaders in those fields hope to have a hand in changing that.
The New York Times reports that a six-week online mentorship program called Women in Technology Sharing Online (WitsOn) is kicking off next month for female college students looking to work in STEM areas.
Among the mentors on board, according to the Times: Mae C. Jemison, the first black female astronaut; Jacqueline K. Barton, chairwoman of the Caltech chemistry department; and Padmasree Warrior, chief technology officer at Cisco.
"I think of this as a MOOC—a massive open online course—and a big mentor-fest," Maria Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College, tells the newspaper. "Getting more women into STEM is my passion in life, and every institution that's set up mentorship programs for young women has been successful at increasing their numbers, so I think this can make a real difference."

Colorado Winter Bike Challenge
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Icy Bike Winter Commuting Challenge from ChainRing Films on Vimeo.
It's cold out and for many that means storing the bike away until April but it doesn't have to be that way, with all the fabulous bike trails and paths around most front range communities you can safely bike at least 10 months out of the year if not all 12. It's easier than you may think as the real challenge/cost is getting the gear like snow bike chains for the diehart. You don't have to ride every day but just once a week can be quite fun and your co-workers will at first think you are crazy and than switch to jealous.

Four high school football players commit to Bethune-Cookman
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 2:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 9:21 p.m.
Four high school seniors — three from Palm Beach County — have verbally committed to play football at Bethune-Cookman, according to reports.
Apopka offensive lineman Dazzie Morris said he accepted the Wildcats' scholarship offer at the conclusion of his visit last weekend.
National Signing Day is Wednesday.
Three other players also committed this weekend, according to the Palm Beach Post — Delray Beach Village Academy quarterback Larry Brihm, Palm Beach Gardens wide receiver Frank Brown and Boca Raton Olympic Heights linebacker/defensive end Werley Placide.
Morris said he had 12 offers from Football Championship Subivision schools but chose B-CU over Presbyterian, Florida A&M and Charleston Southern.
"They were my first offer,'' Morris said of the Wildcats. "They offered me in the spring of my junior year. They win the most, and I'll have an opportunity to play early.''
Morris played center for the Blue Darters' Class 8A state championship team this past season. The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder had previously played guard and tackle. He said B-CU is looking at him to play center or guard. The Wildcats lost their top two centers from last season.
"A lot of people don't like to play (center). I like the challenge,'' he said.
Olympic Heights coach Larry Fleury said B-CU "got a steal'' in the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Placide.
"For his size he has good speed, and he's very intelligent on the field and in the classroom as well,'' Fleury said. "I think Bethune got a really good player. I think he's going to be a contributor down the road. He needs to get into the weight room a little more.''
Fleury, who was in his first year with the team, moved Placide from interior defensive lineman to the outside this year.
"I wish we had another year with him,'' Fleury said. "He played outside in the 3-4, and then when we'd go to a four-man front he'd rush the quarterback, and they couldn't block him.''
Brihm, a 6-foot, 210-pounder, passed for 2,574 yards and 24 touchdowns with seven interceptions, leading Village Academy to its first playoff appearance. Brihm was a Class 2A All-State first-team selection and was the MVP in the Florida-Georgia All-Star Game. Brihm also had an offer from Alabama State, according to the recruiting website, rivals.com.
Brown caught 34 passes for 706 yards and four touchdowns in a run-heavy offense.

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

One of the most successful players in UCLA history, Pryce was a two-time NSCAA/adidas All-American and annually listed as a contender for national player of the year honors. In 2002 and 2003 she was a semifinalist for the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, given to the top player in collegiate soccer. She was a three-time All-Pac-10 selection and was named Co-Pac-10 Player of the Year as a senior in 2003. UCLA played in the NCAA Tournament all four years of her career, reaching the NCAA College Cup in 2000 and 2003. The Bruins advanced all the way to the NCAA Final during her freshman season in 2000.
Pryce was a fixture on several U.S. National Teams before and during her UCLA career. She was a member of the Under-21 U.S. team in 2003, helping that team capture its fifth-straight Nordic Cup title. She started every match for the U-21s during the tournament.

Full SubmissionUNCSD Outcome Document: Input by the United Nations Children?s Fund (UNICEF) SCALING UPWATER AND SANITATION TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This note briefly reviews progress and implementation gaps in meeting global water and sanitation goals and provides considerations for strengthening the sustainable development agenda, including importantly on the equity dimension, through enhanced action in this sector. While overall aid commitments have risen, the sanitation and drinking water share of development aid has decreased relative to other sectors over the period 1998-2008. There are also continued serious disparities across geographic, wealth, and gender boundaries in terms of Access to safe water and adequate sanitation; there are also serious challenges, especially in the face of demographic and climatic changes, to the sustainability of provisioning systems, including technological and institutional dimensions and associated monitoring issues. UNICEF hence strongly urges the inclusion, in the UNCSD Outcome Document, of the issue of universal and sustainable Access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation as a core objective of a transition to a Green Economy and in the framework of Sustainable Development Goals. Some of the key issues to be addressed towards the establishment of universal and sustainable Access to water and sanitation include: ? The scale-up of sanitation in rural areas focusing on sustainable community-led approaches (total sanitation). ? The issue of water quality, including meaningful and cost-effective measurement on a large scale. Within countries, regulatory frameworks will need to be developed, along with the capacity to implement and appraise Water Safety Plans as a standard feature of ensuring sustainable Access to safe drinking-water. ? Linkages between climate change and sustainable water and sanitation development will need to be further examined to assist countries in integrating adaptation strategies and policies into sector plans and strategies. ? Development aid for drinking-water and sanitation will need to target poor countries as currently low-income countries receive only 42% of the total aid for the sector. 1. IMPLEMENTATION GAPS -- THE UNFINISHED AGENDA: WATER AND SANITATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Water and sanitation have a positive impact on the attainment of all current MDGs, including the empowerment of women. In fact, no single intervention is more likely to have a significant impact on global poverty than the provision of safe water. Diarrhoea, which is caused mainly by poor water, sanitation and hygiene, is still the second largest single cause of under five mortality globally, and the largest cause in Sub-Saharan Africa. Young Child Survival and Development (YCSD) is the first right of the child. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) is a central component of YCSD programming, due to the impact of WASH interventions on child survival and development. Indeed, the correlation between water supply and under-five mortality rate is stronger than for any other YCSD indicator. Nearly nine million children under five years of age die each year and diarrhoea is second only to pneumonia as the cause of these deaths. Adequate sanitation, handwashing with soap, and household water treatment, have respective impacts on diarrhoeal reduction of 36%, 48% and 47%. The contribution of WASH in reducing child mortality, however, goes well beyond its direct contribution to reducing diarrhoeal disease. Safe water, sanitation and handwashing also reduce major killers of children such as malnutrition and pneumonia. Water and sanitation are also needed in health facilities to ensure effective healthcare services. Worldwide there are over 2.6 billion people that do not use improved sanitation facilitiesand 884 million people without an improved drinking-water source ? almost half of whom are children. According to The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) the world is not on track to meet the sanitation component of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target 7c to halve by 2015 the proportion of people without sustainable Access to safe drinking-water and basic sanitation. If the trend remains as currently projected by 2015 there will be 2.7 billion people without Access to basic sanitation. According to the JMP, the world is on track to meet the drinking water component of target 7c. However, it is predicted that 672 million people will lack Access to improved drinking-water sources in 2015, and Sub-Saharan Africa is not on track to meet the target.Given that the JMP prediction is based on measurement of use of an improved drinking-water source (which does not adequately address water safety and sustainability), the actual number of people without sustainable Access to safe water is much higher than JMP estimates and in reality the world is almost certainly not on track to meet the MDG target. To compound this situation, water resources and drinking-water supplies in particular, are under increasing pressure from the effects of climate change, population growth, urbanization, and competing uses of water such as agriculture and industry. It is the poorest communities that are disproportionately affected by these external drivers of change. 2. WATER, SANITATION AND EQUITY Equitable development means universal Access to both safe drinking-water and acceptable sanitation, i.e.all people should have Access to affordable water of sufficient quantity and quality and Access to sanitation facilities that ensure hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact. In addressing equity in water supply and sanitation it is necessary to analyse disparities across equity dimensions, such as geographical location, socio-economic status and gender. Other dimensions such as ethnicity and disability can also be considered. Geographical disparities Of the 2.6 billion people who do not use improved sanitation 72% of them live in Asia and 22% in Sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, of the 884 million people who do not use improved sources of drinking water, 51% of them live in Asia and 37% live in Sub-Saharan Africa. 84% of the global population without an improved drinking-water source live in rural areas. Indeed, Access to safe drinking-water is lower in rural areas than in urban areas in all developing countries.Also, seven out of 10 people without improved sanitation live in rural areas. There is a critical need, therefore, to prioritise rural water and sanitation provision, especially in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Socio-economic disparities The gap between the richest and poorest in the use of drinking-water sources and Access to sanitation differs significantly by region and country. However, in all developing regions Access to improved drinking-water and sanitation increases with wealth. Access to piped water on premises is much higher among the richest quintiles, and the poorest 20% is around 16 times more likely to practice open defecation than the richest quintile in Sub-Saharan Africa. Perhaps the greatest disparity between the rich and the poor is in the amount paid for water. The urban poor pay up to 50 times more for a litre of water than their richer neighbours, since they often have to buy their water from private vendors. Gender disparities Women and girls bear the brunt of the burden of fetching water, and of caring for children sickened by diarrhoea and other water related diseases. This reinforces existing gender inequalities within households and communities while creating barriers for women in the pursuit of economic independence, education and in the participation in the development of their communities.
