Thanks for relaying another significant message in such an inspirational manner. Just wanted to add something in accordance with your message. I read somewhere that the word "fear" in Hebrew- פחד, written backwards makes up the word "push"- דחף, teaching us that our fears aren't obstacles in our way, rather they are the force which drives us to push ourselves forward.
Once again, your videos are motivational and relevant to all of us!

Capodimonte Royal Palace - Naples
The Royal Palace on the Capodimonte hilltop was built according to the wishes of the King of Naples, Charles of Bourbon, set over a vast green area looking out over the magical panorama of the gulf and the city, embracing Vesuvius, the San Martino hill and Posillipo, was a hunting residence and Museum site for the priceless collection of art and antiquities which he had inherited from his mother Elisabeth Farnese.
Construction work began in 1738, according to the plans and under the direction of Giovanni Antonio Medrano, an engineer from Palermo.
Work continued for over a century and the project – initially by Medrano – which entailed the construction of a large building on a rectangular plan (170 metres in length and 87 metres in breadth), with a mezzanine level and just two floors under the attic (30 metres in height) – was successively carried out with a number of modifications and interventions by the architect Ferdinando Fuga.
The result was horizontally imposing structure, with a succession of three large communicating courtyards, internally connected by porticos, and externally with large fornixes the open onto the outside gardens.
The facades, in a rigorously Doric style with measured early 16th century taste, have a rhythm of strong architectonic elements in grey piperno stone which contrast cleverly with the Neapolitan red of the plastered walls.
The interior consists of the Royal Apartments and a series of never-ending halls created for formal activities, decorated with paintings which are mostly from the Borboun Collection and the Farnese Collection, and sculptures, furniture and elegant objects of decorative art from the 18th – 19th centuries.
In 1743 for the parks, gardens and land adjacent to the Royal Palace which was still under construction, work began according to the plans of the Neapolitan architect Ferdinando Sanfelice.
His project entailed the creation of an obviously Baroque scenographic set up, filled with marble statues and games of perspective set out within the dense vegetation.
Sanfelice was also commissioned to design a small building in the wood, to house the "Royal Porcelain Factory" of Capodimonte.
Construction work on the Palace progressed slowly, due to technical problems and difficulties in the availability of materials.
Despite these delays, by the second half of the 18th century, a limited number of foreign artists, travellers and distinguished visitors had been to the Royal Museum of Capodimonte, to see the Farnese Collections of Parma, Piacenza and Rome, on display in the Palace's first completed wing.
During the French decade, 1806-1815, the Napoleonic sovereigns Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat chose the Royal Palace as their habitual Court residence, hence the elegant and sumptuous furnishing in the Empire style and precious items and decorations that were brought directly from Paris.
With the Unity of Italy in 1860 the Royal Palace of Capodimonte passed to House of Savoy, without any changes to its residential function.
All the same, the collections were rearranged, and under the direction of Annibale Sacco, it was enriched by new paintings and elegant Court furnishing which were brought in from the ex-Bourbon Royal sites.
Among these is the magnificent "Boudoir" in polychrome Capodimonte porcelain – created for Queen Marie Amalie of Saxony by Giuseppe Gricci, in the second half of the 18th century for the Royal Palace of Portici – which reveals the elegant decorative taste of the "chinoiseries", inspired by Watteau and Boucher's French models.
In 1864, Bourbonic plans were carried out, to establish a "Modern Art Gallery" formed by the works of contemporary artists and academic paintings by mostly Neapolitan early 19th century artists.
At the end of the world war, a rearrangement of all Neapolitan Museums began, and the aim of bringing the function of the Royal Palace of Capodimonte back to that of Museum, we realised, after large scale restoration, only in 1957, when the collections of paintings and objects from medieval and modern eras, collections of Pompeii and Herculaneum antiquities, were moved there from "Real Museum Borbonico" (now National Archaeological Museum), and the new Museum structure, called "National Museum and Galleries of Capodimonte" was finally opened to the public.

Ad-Hoc Training Workshop for Supreme and High Court Judges in Peru
12 - 14 December 2012
Hotel Sheraton Lima
Lima, Peru
Key Issues
The first meeting of this ad-hoc training (12 December) addressed High-court Judges who specialised in mercantile issues and reviewers of administrative rulings. The second meeting addressed Supreme Court Judges and it designed to share some landmark cases from Latin American jurisdictions (Chile, Brasil and Colombia) as well as EU competition cases, particularly from the UK and Spain. The third meeting targetted judges on first instance that will review dawn raid requests carried out by INDECOPI (Peruvian competition authority) and review basis concepts of competition law and Policy and procedural aspects.
Mission Highlights
On the whole, Peruvian Judges were fairly familiar with INDECOPI issues. However, INDECOPI, as the umbrella agency, covers eight topics only one of which is Competition Law Enforcement. Therefore, it was important to set aside the other INDECOPI topics so as to make sure that Judges were familiar with the competition analysis that INDECOPI carries out when dealing with competition cases. In the case of High-Court Judges, there was particular interest in how judges in Latin America and elsewhere have reacted towards the economic evidence that, in many occassions, forms the central argument and grounds for appeal to the Judiciary. Therefore, the issue of indirect evidence could be deemed as the "economic analysis" carried out by the competition authority. Furthermore, it was clear from the Supreme Court Judges that it is important thatthe issue of economic law be understood by the Judiciary, so as to provide a clear message to national and international economic agents dealing in Peruvian markets that competition rules are respected and the Competition System works in the country. To this end, UNCTAD held a side meeting on 14 December with the President of the Judicial Power of Peru, Dr. Cesar San Martin, in order to explore ways of strenghtening cooperation between UNCTAD and the Judicial Power, particularly in the case of setting up a comprehensive training programme not only on Competition issues but also Consumer Protection and Unfair competition topics. INDECOPI also organised two workshops with two different key audiences: the heads of the Competition offices at regional level (ORIs) and the competition case handlers of INDECOPI. The idea of these meetings was to share EU experience and case law with practitioners and regionals heads of INDECOPI offices, taking into account that the latter represent an important arm for evidence gathering in competition case investigations carried out nationwide.
Follow-up actions
UNCTAD and Oxford Centre on Competition Law and Policy will review the feedback received from the target audiences that were part of the 3 different meetings and submit a proposal to organise a second in-depth course for judges, particularly taking into account the questions and remarks made by these judges during the course of the deliberations. As per the meeting held with the President of the Judicial Power of Peru, UNCTAD will examine modes further of collaboration, taking into account the role of the national coordinator in Peru (INDECOPI) within the framework of the COMPAL Programme. Finally, regarding the meetings held with INDECOPI officials, two important follow-up actions are to be implemented: First, with the heads of ORIs, UNCTAD and COMCO will work together to continue creating the capacities for INDECOPI officials to be able to support the investigation activity of the competition case handlers in the Lima Headquarters. It is scheduled to undertake the first training workshop at the end of January 2013 as agreed in the Plan of actions approved for Peru (POA 2012-2013) Second, during the meeting with Lima-based case handlers, it was agreed to organise an ad-hoc course for case handlers organised jointly between UNCTAD and Oxford University, as part of the regular activities of the COMPAL Programme and approved Plan of actions for 2012-2013. The date and detailed programme of this course will be prepared by UNCTAD and Oxford University jointly.

Months have passed since Horace departed for the eastern nation of Nihon-Ja on a vital mission. Having received no communication from him, his friends fear the worst. Unwilling to wait a second longer, Alyss, Evanlyn, and Will leave their homeland behind and venture into an exotic land in search of their missing friend.
When they finally catch up with him, they find Horace entangled in a military coup. Determined to protect the imperial throne, Will and his band of Araluens must piece together and train a force in order to fend off the master Senji warriors intent on overthrowing the emperor.
Suspense and pulse-pounding action abound in this final adventure in the worldwide phenomenon that is Ranger's Apprentice.
Listen to more in the Ranger's Apprentice series.

"Great character builders for 10-90 yr olds"
I have now read most of the series and am closing on the last book. I give big kudos to the author for a serious which older children and young adults will build much good clean character and understanding of military and diplomatic interactions between various groups of people. All with quite a good dose of humor and characters which certainly become beloved as the books go by!
Highly recommended for young readers!
"British accent"
The British accent makes it a bit hard to understand, especially when he speaks quicker.
"Great story.!"
Loved it. Hearing the characters grow with each book as the story took on other countries was the best part. Also really liked the emperor.
"10 out of 5"
It was amazing 10 out of 5 superb perfect recommended best thing since sliced bread
"Fantastic book!!!"
The Emperor of Nihon-Ja is an excellent addition to The Ranger's Apprentice series. It is well worth reading it.
"wilson clan"
we loved it. this was our companion on a LONG road trip, and had to wait for a pause before anyone was willing to make a stop.
"GREAT STORY, but not a good stand alone book"
In this series I think it was harder to follow. This book could not be read without having read some of the previous books. many parts left unexplained
The death of the Emporer,s cousin
He is an excellent voice guy
"Entertaining and a fun listening experience"
I have enjoyed the whole series. I read the first 8 to my grandsons and liked them so much that I have listed to the last two.
"All hail John Flanagan and the ranger series"
John Flanagan did it again! The adventures of Will and Company never cease to draw me in. the fact that he uses countrys similiar to the ones that we know ourselves only gives life and credit to the writing. Though simply writen, it by no means takes away from the tale and in fact allows the listener to fall into the story that much simpler. you seem to be able to know Will and Allis, Horis and Halt and all the company as you go from adventure to adventure. Such a story will have you listening again and again.

Volusia-Flagler home sales on the rise
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 4:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 19, 2012 at 4:46 p.m.
Sales of existing houses in October increased across Volusia and Flagler counties compared to a year ago, further proof that local real estate markets are stabilizing, Realtors said.
Additional evidence of recovery came with increased residential sales around Florida and the nation.
Local pending sales — those expected to close within 90 days — were also up significantly, but local median sale price levels were mixed, up in Flagler County and the Daytona Beach area, but down in Southeast and West Volusia.
"It seems everything is pointing upwards," said Carmen Bongiovanni, president of the Flagler County Association of Realtors and a Realtor with Watson Realty Corp. in Palm Coast.
"Prices are low, though inching up in some places," he added. "They are at the point where they should (be) if we considered a 3 percent increase each year from 1992 and took out the boom bubble from several years ago."
In Volusia County, 729 existing homes were sold in October, according to the Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors, the New Smyrna Board of Realtors and the West Volusia Association of Realtors. That's up 28.5 percent from the 567 homes that were sold in October 2011.
The associations do not track sales of newly constructed homes.
Through the first 10 months of this year, there have been 6,592 existing homes sold in Volusia County. That's up 4.3 percent from the same period a year ago when 6,322 homes were sold.
In Flagler County, 173 homes were sold in October. That's up 15.3 percent from October 2011, according to the Flagler County Association of Realtors. It's the 19th consecutive monthly year-over-year increase.
Year to date, 1,903 homes have been sold in Flagler County. That's up 18.7 percent from the 1,603 houses that were sold in the first 10 months of 2011.
The median price — where half sell for more and half for less — for a home sold in October in Flagler County was $140,000. That's the highest level in the past 12 months and up 10.8 percent from $126,350 in October 2011.
There were 260 pending sales in Flagler County in October. That's up 63.5 percent from the 159 reported in October 2011.
Inventory levels in Flagler County fell 41.6 percent to 946 homes for sale compared to 1,619 a year ago. At the current sales pace, the supply of homes for sale would last 4.5 months, the lowest level in more than five years.
Low inventory levels is the main reason prices in some areas have increased this year, Realtors said.
"Prices are good, interest rates are great and the inventory has shrunk to the point where people who are thinking of buying are making the move while the time is right and prices are favorable," said Sandy Alford, president of the West Volusia Association of Realtors and a Realtor with Swann & Associates in DeLand. "We've seen a steady increase and that is very good."
West Volusia paced the Volusia County surge in residential sales.
There were 310 homes sold in West Volusia, according to the West Volusia Association of Realtors. That's up 32.5 percent from the 234 sold in October 2011. It's the fifth straight month of rising or flat monthly year-over-year sales.
The median sale price in West Volusia was $75,000 in October, down 3.8 percent from $78,000 a year ago.
Pending sales are up 51.6 percent to 391 from 258 a year ago. The inventory of homes for sale was down 27 percent to 1,464 from 2,009 a year ago, the lowest since September 2005.
The supply of homes for sale in West Volusia would last 4.8 months at the current sales pace.
The Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors reported the sales of 352 existing homes in October. That's up 30 percent from the 271 sold a year ago and snaps a two-month year-over-year monthly decline.
The median sale price was $120,000, down 4 percent from $125,000 a year ago.
Pending sales were up 94 percent to 530 from 273 and the inventory of homes for sale was down 40 percent to 1,979 from 3,294. At the current sales pace, the supply of homes for sale would last 5.6 months in the Daytona Beach area.
Theresa Geyer, broker for Coastal Results Realty in Ormond Beach and president of the Daytona Beach Area Association of Realtors, said that's consistent with a stable market.
"It's when we get down to 2 or 3 months that we might see a feeding frenzy like we had in 2004 and 2005," Geyer said.
The New Smyrna Beach Board of Realtors reported the sale of 67 homes in October. That's up 8 percent from the 62 sold a year ago, the seventh monthly year-over-year increase in the past nine months.
The median sale price was $157,343, up almost 30 percent from $121,450 a year ago. It's also the highest median sale price in the past 23 months in Southeast Volusia.
Pending sales rose 100 percent to 126 from 63 a year ago. Inventory levels fell 29 percent to 757 from 1,063 a year ago. At the current sales pace, the inventory of homes for sale would last 8.7 months.
"I just look at the numbers and smile," said Travous Dever, president of the New Smyrna Beach Board of Realtors and a Realtor with The Keyes Company in New Smyrna Beach. "The lack of inventory is pushing prices up and a good property will get multiple offers."
Across the state, existing house sales in October surged 25.3 percent to 17,779. The median sale price was $145,000, up 9 percent from a year ago.
Nationally, sales of exiting homes in October were up almost 11 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.79 million units from 4.32 million a year ago. The median sale price for all housing types was $178,600, up 11 percent from a year ago.

"Throughout Penn's history, athletics and recreation have helped to shape the lives of our undergraduates, providing wonderful out-of-classroom learning experiences. At Penn, where our mission is to train not just the mind but the whole person, coaches are respected teachers. Today, we launch a campaign that, first, will create the very best environment and opportunities for our students to flourish during their years at Penn; and second, to become great future leaders."
University of Pennsylvania President Amy Gutmann

Launched October 20, 2007, the Campaign for Penn Athletics represents the first time in the University of Pennsylvania's 270 year history that the Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics (DRIA) will play a major role in a University fundraising campaign. Launched the same day as the University's $3.5 billion "Making History" campaign, DRIA was tasked with raising $112 million for new and renovated facilities, endowment, and annual operating funds. Already, four years into this endeavor, DRIA has risen to new heights, recruiting scores of volunteers and shattering divisional fundraising records. With two years remaining in the Campaign, and many benchmarks yet to be realized, Penn's Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics, together with our 25,000+ alumni and friends, have much left to do.
As of March 2011, Penn Athletics has cleared $94 million on our way to our $112 million goal.

Happy Halloween everyone! Go have some candy!
|June 2016
Happy Halloween everyone! Go have some candy!
These are one of those Halloween candies that I see around every year, yet I have no idea who makes them or what they're called. When I've tried looking it up I just get online I get "bulk foil pumpkin balls", which isn't the best of names. I found these Madelaine Halloween Crisp Balls on the same trip to Michael's where I encountered the Skybar Zombie Food. I immediately knew I wanted to review these for the blog, but I was also excited to finally have a name for these! Halloween Crisp Balls.
The appearance of these Halloween Crisp Balls is what immediately catches your eye. They are beautiful! The bright orange color immediately catches your eye, and the face of the Jack 'O Lantern is so classic and appealing. It feels a tad vintage, and I really like that. I even love the little green leaves they put at the pumpkin's top. So cute! They're about the size of large marbles, so the pieces are neither to big nor too small.
The foil comes off easily in one piece if you take your time with it. The chocolate is a middle brown color, the color is not especially rich and it's a bit waxy looking. You can see hints of the crisps in there. Its smells sweet and chocolatey, with a note of caramel. The texture is the first thing I notice, it's smooth and the crisps are especially crunchy. The chocolate is very sweet and has lots of notes of cream and butter. It's not the most chocolatey chocolate, but it's still really yummy and certainly a great snacking chocolate. The combination of the size, texture and flavor makes these very irresistible.
I can see these looking absolutely adorable in a candy dish, or even at a candy bar for an event. They're so colorful, festive and pretty! Even having some with my coffee, I felt as if that wasn't enough of a way to showcase them. Yes, it tastes great, but I felt a way to capture it's eye appeal. Beautiful and delicious, these candies are a great find. I hope to see them around more places soon.

Out of all the Halloween candy that I've found, this is the only one that's actually fruit flavored. Have you realized that so much of Halloween candy is chocolate? I know there's candy corn to balance it out and a handful of Halloween shaped gummies, but mostly it feels like it's chocolate. There's certainly a reason for this, as chocolate is immensely popular and well loved. Even as a kid I ranked a lot of the chocolate candy I'd get at Halloween as the "favorites". This is a big reason why this mix of Mike & Ike Mummy's Mix stood out to me. Yes it was new, but also it's a fruity candy and that stood out to me.
So, I'm a little sad to report that the only thing that's Halloween themed with this candy is the packaging. Once you open the box you have normal Mike & Ike's in your hand. I'm not complaining mind you, I just don't want my readers to expect more when there isn't more. Right now there's a big ad campaign regarding Mike & Ike who are splitting up right now, but maybe they've come back together and made peace for Halloween since both their names are proudly side by side here. This is a movie theater sized box and once you open it, it's opened. There's no extra plastic or foil bag in here to help contain the candy, only the box.
Lemon: Oh, how I love lemon! This flavor is only lightly tart, so it's a good lemon flavor for those who prefer the sweeter flavors. You do get some citrus flavors, but they are very bright and are accented with the sweetness. Not as tart as I'd like, but very tasty.
Orange: The flavor is immediately really juicy and sweet. You get a nice sweet/tart notes of orange that gradually fades to just sweetness. Very tasty and great flavor.
Grape: The candy is very dark in color, it almost looks black. The taste is very authentic grape, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's like grape jam, but more sour. I even get hints on wine in the sour bits, I'm please with how complex this tastes. Normally I'm not a big fan of grape flavored candies, but this one is really awesome.
Lime: Lime can be a flavor that's really hit or miss. Thankfully this flavor is very good. It doesn't taste of floor cleaner, but you do get the notes of lime zest. Like the lemon, they're made much softer by the additional sweetness. That makes this also very friendly to people who prefer the sweeter flavors. This is much tastier than I was expecting.
Raspberry: I have to hand it to Just Born, I'm glad they went with a different flavor other than cherry for the red. The flavor is sweet and I am strongly reminded of jam. It has a rich sweetness rounded out with some tart notes and some nice floral berry flavors. It's good, but I like the lemon, grape and orange flavors way more.
I am really pleased with this mix! I am a fan for sure. I think if you're more of a fruity candy lover, you should certainly try these out. I can't say that the actual candy is the most "spooky" with all the rainbow colors, but it tastes great and that's what really matters.

One of the candies I really look forward to every Halloween is candy corn. I know it's the type of candy that people either love or hate, and I feel it's pretty obvious that I belong in the "love" category. I love how it look, how it tastes, and how it symbolizes that Halloween is coming. In the past few years candy corn has been getting some makeovers. There's been new flavors of candy corn, gummi candy corn, marshmallow candy corn, and even Hershey's Kisses Candy Corn. So I hope all this means that candy corn is gaining in popularity.
I got this bag of Brach's "Fall Favorites" Candy Corn mix on a trip to Target. I was lucky to catch their early Halloween displays which is where I found this mix. What immediately called out to me about this mix was that it has chocolate covered candy corn in it. I'll say that again, chocolate covered candy corn. I cannot express how excited I am.
Brach's candy corn is my favorite out of all the brands that exist out there. It's the one I enjoy most, with its grainy texture and sweet flavor kissed with honey. The candy corn are colorful, but more irregular in shape than I'm used to in other mixes. Some pieces are missing color stripes, some are smaller in shape, other have tips that have crumbled off in transit. Still, on the whole they are beautiful and incredible tasty.
Mixed into the candy corn is the chocolate covered candy corn. The front of the package reads 100% Milk Chocolate, and indeed the ingredients list backs it up. The chocolate covered pieces are large, almost double in size as a normal candy corn. Brach's did not skimp on the chocolate dipping. The flavor first of the sweet chocolate, the texture is soft and smooth. You get lots of notes of butter and cream, accented with the honey of the candy corn. On the whole it's incredibly sweet, but still tasty and enjoyable.
I really liked these, but unless you're someone who can handle intense sweetness, these may be too much for you. Personally I think I still prefer normal candy corn, but in a festive candy bowl I'm sure there would go over really well. I think I am going to buy a few back so stockpile so I can get my candy corn and my chocolate fix at the same time.

On that same trip to Target I found these Caramel Apple Milky Way minis. This find took me completely by surprise, since I hadn't heard any announcement by Mars nor had seen any mention of them on fellow candy blogs. This was a new candy gem that I had found completely on my own, which I will admit, makes it more exciting. I immediately snatched up a bag and knew they'd be an excellent new limited edition Halloween candy to review for my readers.
Thankfully these came in a big bad of minis, because they're so much easier to share that way. The bag is a delightful apple red, with an image of a caramel apple on the side with caramel ripples from a opened Milky Way bar making the "Caramel Apple" wording on the bottom. The minis have the pretty red stripe belting the wrapper on the minis. Opening one up, you can immediately smell the caramel apple. It's quite impressive actually how they do get the aroma spot on.
The flavor starts off sweet, with the first flavor you notice is definitely apple. It's a strange flavor, mainly because it's not just apple. It's apple cinnamon, like it's a packet of instant hot cider mix. This was unexpected on my part. I'm guessing the apple flavor is coming from both the caramel and the nougat filling, as the nougat filling is bright white and isn't the same as classic Milky Way. Once the apple flavor subsides some, the caramel flavor popes through with great buttery flavors. I'm surprised because you really don't taste much chocolate in this Milky Way, despite there's still a chocolate coating. On the whole it does indeed convey the flavor of a caramel apple, but the apple is "off" because of the addition of the cinnamon element. It's a little strange, but still tasty.
My fiance loved these way more than I did. I thought they were good, but I didn't really eat any beyond the few I needed for the review. My fiance however kept eating them and even grabbed a few to add to his lunch at work. Point being, there are certainly worth a try.

What's an 'Eco' Tea?
'Eco' comes from the Greek world oikos, which means home. Ecology is the study of home. Economy is the management of the home. At EcoTeas, we like to think of home on three levels: the body, the household, and the planet. That's why an 'Eco' Tea is healthy, affordable, and sustainable.
The EcoTeas Story
We started EcoTeas in the year 2000 in the kitchen of our home in Ashland, Oregon. We came together as three best friends with a shared vision: to create a grassroots tea company that supports organic agriculture, fair trade business practices, and healthy living. We work to bring you the highest quality teas at the best possible prices. In addition to providing green livelihoods for our farmers and ourselves, we strive to inspire simple, healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
We source our rooibos from an organic, fair trade cooperative of indigenous farmers in rural South Africa. EcoTeas rooibos is grown and processed by hand for superior quality, potency, and sustainability.
A Naturally Caffeine-Free Treat!
- Naturally hydrating
- Low in tannin
- Grounding, warming, & balancing
- A rich, mild taste that children love
Antioxidant Power
When brewed as directed, this tea provides an ORAC value of 2,000 µmol TE/240 ml, which is about as strong as a typical cup of green tea.
Suggested Use
Hot: To release the full flavor and benefits of rooibos, steep a tea bag in 200ºF water for 10+ minutes.
Iced: Rooibos requires hot water to release its beneficial properties and flavor. Brew hot tea at double strength, then add ice.
Special Instructions: South African farmers traditionally place a pot of rooibos on the woodstove and let it simmer all day. Not only is this the tastiest way to drink rooibos, it's also the healthiest, as the long steep-time releases more antioxidants.
More Options: Try drinking rooibos with EcoTeas loose rooibos and a bombilla.

The number of witnesses that can be called to testify in the court case involving an inmate suspected of killing a prison guard was brought to attention Tuesday.
District Judge Michael Schiferl suggested to the Sixteenth Judicial District Attorney's office that the list of the state's possible witnesses be narrowed in the case against Miguel Contreras-Perez.
The reason behind the suggestion is that there could be up to 1,100 possible witnesses in the case — ranging from inmates to prison employees.
Contreras-Perez was named a suspect in September in the killing of Sgt. Marty Ricard at the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Ordway.
Another guard, Sgt. Lori Gann, was severely injured in the attack.
Contreras-Perez appeared in Crowley County District Court Tuesday where he was officially charged with first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, first degree assault, possession of contraband (a knife), possession of contraband (a razor).
The defense asked for information concerning pending charges against witnesses. Defense also asked for information concerning criminal background of any officer involved. The second request was granted by the judge. "What's the harm?" Schiferl asked. The background check will be done only on those who may be called in this case.
The defense asked for extra time to prepare because of the enormous amount of evidence (two boxes full) and discovery work to be done. Asked if the defense would waive the 35 day requirement, the defense agreed. The next hearing of this case was set in Crowley County for April 22, 9:30 a.m.
The judge ordered the defendant be taken to the sheriff's office to be photographed and fingerprinted on this charge.

CrossFit Happi Tree Mashup - Decor & Activities (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Our rag tag class of 6AM CrossFit is an extremely close knit community. We celebrate birthdays, housewarmings, play hooky to go to Disneyland, etc. So of course when one of our couples announced they were expecting, we couldn't wait to throw them a shower... CrossFit style!
The parents to be really liked the Happi Tree theme by Dena Designs, and told me they were planning on decorating the baby's room in various shades of pinks and greens with a few accent colors. So, I had my colors and my theme, and since the guests were all fellow CrossFit people, I wanted to make sure we included elements from that community.
Invitations were designed by, Andrew Deutsch, and assembled by me. We took the Happi Tree characters and designed them to be doing CrossFit activities... the owls now had kettle bells in one wing, the birds had headbands on and were sweating, the squirrel was now lifting a dumbell instead of sniffing a flower, and the porcupine was down below with his plyo box and medicine ball. Invitations were finished off with a belly band, that matched the envelope lining. Addresses were done by hand with acrylic ink to give a raised thermography feel, and stamps were custom created to match the theme of the invitation.
For decor, I wanted it soft and feminine. Giant tissue paper flowers were made and placed up in the trees to imitate the flowers on the Happi Tree pattern. A sign at the front of the house welcomed guests. (Our home gym is fondly referred to as "CrossFit Driveway".)
Amalfi tables were decorated with vintage doilies, dishes were white distressed square plates on top of mint green linens and adorned with "Adam" pink depression glass plates from 1934. Centerpieces was a collection of four types of arrangements in jadeite glassware, milk glass, vintage bottles and distressed bird cages with wood slices. Flowers were mostly a soft pink such as juliet garden roses, cafe au lait dahlias, soft peach carnations, and pink astilbe. For greens, I added in succulents, air plants, mint and varagated pittosporum.
For the guestbook, I purchased a mini plyo box from WOD Toys and decorated it to match the theme. At many CrossFit gyms, when you go to workout as a guest, it's customary to buy one of their gym t-shirts. So, for favors, we gave out t-shirts which were designed by Andrew.
There was an old bassinet to hold gifts which I got from a yard sale down the street. The two vintage chairs for mom and dad to sit in were purchased from a thrift shop and then the fabric was painted pink to match the theme. The curtain behind them was a collection of fabric strips that were cut at a 45 degree angle to prevent from fraying and then tied on. I also made them a diaper cake as part of our gift to them. On top I made an owl stuffed animal holding his own kettle bell. Inside contained diapers and bath products from Burt's Bees. But best of all, it also contained a quilt echoing the theme of the baby's room which had been hand made by my extremely talented aunt, Beth Norris.
Last of all... activities! Every year, there is a world wide competition sponsored by Reebok called "The CrossFit Games". Teams and individuals compete to get the title. This year our gym's team made it all the way to regionals! So, for us we had "The Shower Games" with pink kettle bells as prizes for the winners.
Workout Of The Day (WOD) #1 - 1 minute of water balloon pregnant burpees. Stuff a water balloon down your shirt, and do as many burpees as you can in 1 minute without letting your water break.
WOD #2 - "Full Term" In a team of two work as quickly as you can. One person works with a backpack containing a 15lb med ball on their front. They will complete 9 squats, 9 sit-ups, and 9 push-ups (9 = months of pregnancy.) They will then sprint 40 meters (40 = number of weeks). Meanwhile their partner will be holding a bumper plate over their head. They will then switch off, completing 3 rounds total. (3 = number of trimesters.)
WOD #3 - "Clean up the House" Colored blocks were scattered around. One partner had a laundry basket to hold behind the line to catch the blocks, the other partner wore the backpack with the 15lb med ball on the front and had to squat down, pick up the block and toss it into their partner's hamper. Whoever got the most blocks in 1 minute won.

Full SubmissionEnvironmental Management for Livelihood Improvement Bwaise Facility
Environmental Management for Livelihood Improvement Bwaise Facility (EMLI) notes with concern the historical, new and emerging challenges Africa as a continent faces ever since Rio conference in 1992. Some of these challenges include the continent?s vulnerability to climate change, ecosystem and biodiversity loss, accelerating desertification, HIV/AIDS and Malaria, declining fish stocks, wide spread pollution, unregulated toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, poverty, immigration control, unemployment, energy and food crisis.
Furthermore, Africa water towers are drying up at a much more precedent rate for example the drying of Lake Chad, the erosion of the Nile Delta, the declining Lake Faguibine in the Niger River Basin and falling water levels in Lake Victoria and unreliability and predictability of African rains despite efforts to setup early warning systems.
Despites efforts to implement commitments from Rio in 1992, stem political momentum to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, the continents? efforts are still futile to realization of the level of development attained by other continents. In this retrospect, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) MUST reinvigorate the commitment of the global community to concentrate on leap-flogging Africa to a continent sustainably developed and equitably sharing the global space.
Governments should commit on the following so as to leap frog Africa to a sustainably developed continent;
African civil society including the Major groups be fully engaged in processes towards during and after Rio+20 through; regular inclusion in national delegations; recognizing rights of indigenous peoples; granting full access and participation during negotiations and establishing predictable financial mechanisms so as to enhance representation and participation
1. Green economy in the context of sustainable development and Poverty eradication
Ensure that green economies enhance human well being, narrows the gap between rich and poor, create decent green jobs
Ensure that actions and mechanisms to achieve a green economy do not increase social inequalities, exacerbate negative socio-economic environmental impacts such as monoculture and land grabbing BUT address structural limitations that always put women, youth and vulnerable groups at disadvantaged position
Ensure that National Development Plans be the driving policy instruments towards realizing a green economy baring in mind that this transition be sector specific such as through waste management, forestry, agriculture and tourism The African 10-Year Framework of the Programme on Sustainable consumption and production be implemented and the necessary technical and financial support availed with a mechanism taking into consideration national action plans Ensure that tariff, non-tariff barriers and market distortions are removed from least developed countries especially Sub-Saharan African countries trade in environmentally-sustainable goods and services
Provide access to energy especially renewable energy by ensuring that 35 percent of Africa?s rural population has access to energy by 2020
Establish a global mechanism building on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to regulate and protect oceans, seas and coastal zones and also reduce fishing pressure, restore productivity and prevent any form of pollution
2. Institutional framework for sustainable development
At global level, a clear coordinated framework of United Nations agencies be strengthened with the Commission on Sustainable development elevated to a status of a Council with decision making mandate whereas United Nations Environment Programme transformed into a specialized institution for the environment based in Nairobi, Kenya
An implementation mechanism be established with Long term, scaled up, new and additional, predictable and adequate funding, capacity building, technology development and transfer frameworks that will see more practical undertakings in the next 20 years with Poverty eradication, youth employment and food security high on the agenda
A more precise, clear and actionable indicator framework for sustainable development be developed fully integrating systematic assessment and reporting on the main environmental and human dimensions challenges and constraints, building on and incorporating existing assessments such as Human Development Index
Promote sound management of chemicals and waste especially e-waste through availing the required technical and financial support so as to implement national and regional strategies on chemicals management
At Regional level, The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) be revitalized, implemented and monitored with actionable indicators so as to ensure effective vertical and horizontal linkages, as well as effectiveness implementation of NEPAD's Principles, Programme of Action, Priorities and desired Outcomes
Ensure full implementation of the right to access to environmental information, participation and justice enshrined in Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration
At National level, National Sustainable Development Councils/Forums be revived and further strengthened with the necessary financial and technical capacity so as to address the challenge of integrating economic, social and environmental pillars through ensuring multi-stakeholder engagement

An avant garde view of the trees we pass everyday.
These are fairly straight-up photographs of tree bark, burs, knotholes and roots. Each image was made from parts of trees that are easily seen from ground level. There is one thing that all of these images have in common: The arboreal elements featured in each image have been replicated, as a mirror image, and then joined back onto itself.
The application of this mirror technique gives each image a kind of symmetry that is usually associated with animals, not trees. This mirror-image symmetry also provides a unique kind of crossover between animal and vegetable and often creates the illusion of strange creatures lurking, motionless, in the wood grain. Even more unusual features are revealed in the details of the seam where the mirror images are joined. All of this imagery is naturally abstract and, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Dominic Sondy has spent most of his career behind the lens capturing events, locations, people and a variety of subjects. Vintage Image has been digital for several years using the professional-standard camera and ancillary equipment. Dominic is also well versed in Adobe Photoshop. This technical combination produces powerful results for clients. His background includes Chief Photographer with one of the nation's most respected tradeshow photography companies, Chicago Tribune advertising sales and a Correspondent in the U.S. Army. Digital Illustration is a detail-oriented process requiring skill and patience. It is not a Photoshop filter or some kind of computer plug-in. The techniques and tools used to create a digital illustration are similar to those used to make an illustration with pen and ink. Vintage Image Digital Illustration & Photography specializes in one-of-a-kind Great Lakes Maritime images.
