Open Windows Foundation
Open Windows Foundation or Ventanas Abiertas is a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focusing on youth education and programming in San Miguel Dueñas, Guatemala. The center was founded in 2001 by Ericka Kaplan, Jean Uelmen, and Teresa Quiñonez and now serves over 1,600 members of the Dueñas community.
The mission of the foundation is to Open Windows of opportunity for the disadvantaged children of San Miguel Dueñas, through access to a free library, computer center, and educational center.
The Foundation first opened in 2001 with an enrollment of 20 children assembling in a small room. The original 300 books for the center were donated from a library project that had recently closed in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. The Foundation's primary function was to act as a dynamic library with the aim of getting kids to read for pleasure.
Over the years, Open Windows has continued to accumulate students, books, funds, and other resources through the personal networking of the founders and the community. In 2003, Rotary International donated 10 computers to Open Windows. This donation allowed Open Windows to expand their services to allowing students to use computers for homework and offering computer classes. Open Windows also launched their initial website in 2003 which allowed for greater publicity.
In September 2005, a formal library room was built and is now filled with over 7,000 books including picture, fiction, non-fiction, and reference books. Two years later, an impending donation from Rotary International for an additional 10 computers prompted the building of a second story computer center at Open Windows. The center was completed in April, 2007. In this time, the mission had been expanded to include enhancing technology skills and to provide educational programming and tutoring for students.
In early 2009, Open Windows opened a teen room in order to expand their services to older children in the community.
Open Windows currently provides four primary programs: the after school program, the activities program, the computer center, and the teen program.
After School Program[edit]
The after school program allows the students a time to finish their homework with the supervision and assistance of the five teachers at Open Windows. Because of the close relationship between Open Windows and the local schools, homework for the students is often designed with the specific resources of Open Windows in mind.
Activities Program[edit]
The activities program is designed for the students to participate in an interactive reading and learning activity as a group. Every afternoon the teachers at Open Windows use a book read aloud to ground an activity designed to emphasize reading, writing, creative, listening, and thinking skills.
Computer Center[edit]
The computer center was completed in 2007 and is composed of 20 computers donated from Rotary International. Classes are provided for children and adults and for various computer programs. In addition to the classes, 10 of the computers are now equipped with internet access for research and other educational purposes. The computer center is always in high demand as it provides the only public-access computers in the area.
Teen Program[edit]
With the completion of the teen building in spring 2009, Open Windows began a formal teen program in fall 2009. This program is aimed at opening the center at nights and on weekends, making it more accessible to teenagers who commonly work during the day. Besides providing educational resources for the teens, Open Windows provides activities aimed at creating a safe place for teens to socialize.
Open Windows is located in San Miguel Dueñas, Guatemala, 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the popular colonial city of Antigua Guatemala.
Today, Open Windows is led by director and co-founder Teresa Quiñonez. The administration of the Foundation is made up of two boards of directors; one based in Guatemala and the other in the United States. Additionally, there are six full-time teachers on staff.
The Foundation also depends on work from volunteers.

Red, White and Glute
Donald Trump is not the owner, so any nudie pics you might've taken won't hurt your chances of winning Venice Beach's annual Mr. and Ms. Muscle Beach contest. The famous boardwalk, which gave us our current governor, is celebrating its 75th anniversary (the original Muscle Beach located in Santa Monica). This year, hard bodies from all over in teeny-weeny swimsuits gather to flex their pecks and compete in the bodybuilding, figure and bikini divisions. Their tanned-to-a-crisp skin glistening off their bulging muscles will make you look like the puny patriot you are. But have another bratwurst, girly man. Vendors, booths and giveaways are included.

A well-intentioned but hopelessly dated TV drama, Black Answer boasts an impressive African-American cast, including Ivan Dixon, Raymond St. Jacques, Abbey Lincoln and Herb Jeffries. Tony Franciosa stars as Crime magazine reporter Jeff Dillon, investigating the fire-bombing death of a black newspaper editor who advocated nonviolence. The chief suspect is Joe X Lee (Ivan Dixon), a leading black militant. The motive may have been that Lee was about to be exposed as a fraud, who'd sold out his brothers to the cops. Black Answer originally aired as the December 13, 1968 episode of the TV series Name of the Game. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

We use these all the time. Very Sturdy and versatile glass for the size. Five stores use them and we will continue to go with this company.
Robert C. from Gator's Dockside Posted on 02/28/2016
Great wine glass. They work for most any types of wine and are great for dinner parties when you have guests wanting both red and white wine. Also, because of the price you don't have to worry if a couple of them get broken because you can easily replace them at a reasonable price.
Andrea P. Posted on 06/24/2014
Sturdy glass at a much better price then most of my other vendors. The stems are thicker and are less prone to breakage. I say give them a shot.
Jerry R. from Gators Posted on 08/04/2013
Great everyday multi purpose glass. Good for red or white wine. Excellent quality because this is thicker and holds comfortably well so we're quite happy we got this.
Yvonne G. Posted on 05/17/2013
Ok they are not the glass you would expect at a Mortons but they do a great job. They hold up to handwashind at the bar and they look good. great value and great product. It does a good job as an all around wine glass

Co-organised by the OECD and the German Federal Ministry of Finance, the seminar will focus on the policy implications of the increasingly interconnected global financial and economic system and the need for an open and orderly regime for capital flows in the context of the review of the OECD Code of Liberalisation of Capital Movements.
Ukraine's post-Maidan authorities have embarked upon an ambitious reform programme to improve the country's framework for investment and strengthen the country as an attractive investment destination. This review, which was prepared in close cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities in response to their 2011 request to adhere to the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises (OECD Declaration), analyses the general investment framework as well as recent reform, and shows where further efforts are necessary. It assesses Ukraine's ability to comply with the principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination and its policy convergence with international investment standards such as the OECD Declaration. In light of the recently updated OECD Policy Framework for Investment, it also studies other areas such as investment promotion and facilitation, infrastructure development; financial sector development and responsible business conduct practices. In the scarcely two years since a new attempt at economic reforms was launched in earnest, Ukraine has made quite important progress in introducing a modern legal framework for investment. But additional efforts are required in some policy areas to reaffirm Ukraine's attractiveness for investors.
Regulators are proactive referees of the sectors they regulate, contributing to the delivery of essential public utilities for citizens. To fulfill this function, they need to be constantly alert, checking sectoral trends as well as assessing the impact of their decisions. However, while measuring regulators' performance is essential, it is also challenging, from defininig what should be measured to attributing impacts to regulators' decisions. To address these challenges, the OECD has developed an innovative framework that looks at the institutions, processes and practices that help regulators assess their performance. The framework has been applied to Latvia's Public Utilities Commission, which is responsible for regulating energy, communications, water and waste. The review offers unique insights into the work of a multi-sector regulator, identifying the organisational features that allow lessons and experiences to be shared across sectors and contribute to good performance. It highlights the importance of clarifying the role and functions of the regulator and its relationship with other public institutions, setting long-term strategic objectives for the regulator's activities, and having the right regulatory tools with appropriate incentives for the efficient and effective provision of public utility services.
This report presents recommendations on the reform of economic instruments for water resources management in Kyrgyzstan, specifically on tariffs for urban water supply and sanitation (WSS) and irrigation water, pollution charges, surface water abstraction charges for enterprises (consumptive and non-consumptive uses), specific land tax rates for the Issyk-Kul biosphere reserve, as well as taxes and customs duty on products contributing to water pollution. For each instrument, alternative reform options are identified and assessed, and preferred options put forward, with an action plan.
A critical dimension of the 'low-growth trap' is a lack of investment. Weak investment is undermining productivity growth and lowering potential output by holding back capital deepening and hindering the pace at which innovation is embodied in plant and equipment.

This report covers the activities undertaken to promote the effective implementation of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises by governments and National Contact Points from July 2014 to December 2015.
Regulators operate in a complex environment at the interface among public authorities, the private sector and end-users. As "referees" of the markets that provide water, energy, transport, communications, and financial services to citizens, they must balance competing wants and needs from different actors. This means that they must behave and act objectively, impartially, and consistently, without conflict of interest, bias or undue influence - in other words, independently. What distinguishes an independent regulator is not simply institutional design. Independence is also about finding the right balance between the appropriate and undue influence that can be exercised through the regulators' daily interactions with ministries, regulated industries and end-users. This report identifies the critical points where undue influence can be exercised at different moments in the life of a regulator and discusses some of the avenues for developing a culture of independence, including through interactions with stakeholders, staffing and financing.
Investment can help raise standards of living through job creation, skills and technology development, and distribution of wealth. Achieving these impacts, however, depends on the quality of the investment as much as the quantity. This chapter from the 2016 Development Co-operation Report discusses how responsible business conduct can directly contribute to achieving the SDGs, while also being good for business.

As rapid changes in energy technology – both in renewable and fossil fuel sources – transforms the way we power our lives, we have a chance to leave our children a prosperous world and reduce the effects of climate change. But, to scale fast enough, we need smart policies – at all levels of government.
National policies are essential to raise our level of ambition, put a price on carbon, limit emissions from key sectors, and spur innovation. For example, the Clean Power Plan would accelerate the adoption of clean energy technologies. But, many states are taking strides to promote innovative technologies and paving the way for national policy. Read More

Shane McConkey had a garage you couldn't believe. Hanging from the walls, piled in corners, and spread across the floor were every conceivable manner of snow-sliding and gravity-defying device. There were fat skis, skinny skis, water skis, snowboards, mini snowboards turned into mini fat skis, mountain bikes, bikes with skis instead of wheels, sleds, saucers, bungee cords, BASE jumping rigs, and various experiments in gear that looked like really bad ideas. If he who dies with the most toys wins, then Shane won.
Shane's death in a ski BASE jumping accident on March 26, while filming for Matchstick Productions in Italy, is a crushing blow to the sport of skiing and a traumatizing loss to his extended family of friends and athletes that were brought into his orbit over the years. But it would be dishonest of those of us who knew him to claim that it's a complete surprise. This is a guy who has spent the better part of the last 10 years willfully throwing himself from cliffs, buildings, bridges, helicopterspretty much anything high enough to get him into free-fall. And as Shane liked to point outusually with the same sh*t-eating grin that he'd crack when showing you his garage"There are no injuries in BASE jumping."
Then again, Shane actually did have a few BASE jumping injuries. He was once blown back into "The Chief", a 1000-foot jump near Whistler. He slapped the rocks twice on that one, leaving most of the skin on his palms behind, before getting tangled in a small tree growing from a crack in the cliff. That left him on a ledge a few hundred feet from the ground, which is exactly the sort of place he used to purposely get himself to on skis. He had a knack for finding lines on mountains that no one else could see, because they weren't really there.
Even before Shane learned to fly, he had the aura of a guy who could do the impossible. Goofy and self-effacing as hell, he nevertheless inspired people to follow him, and anyone who skis follows him in one way or another today. Like your fat skis? It was Shane who proved that a tool designed for intermediates who couldn't ski powder would revolutionize big mountain skiing. Ever watch big mountain competitions? Shane organized the first regular circuit of events, along with the International Free Skiing Association to sanction them. Intrigued by the reverse camber ski and snowboard designs popping up all over the place? Shane was de-cambering his own skis in that garage of his back in 2003 to prove to his ski sponsor he wasn't just crazyhe was right.
Shane McConkey, 1969-2009
A surprising number of people followed Shane right over those cliffs he jumped off. There's a generation of BASE jumpers in Lake Tahoe who credit Shane as their mentor, and his ski BASE techniques have been adopted by like-minded lunatics in adrenaline capitals the world over. It is no stretch to declare him the most influential skier of the last 15 years.
As word of Shane's death rippled across the ski and BASE jumping communities, I sat on a couch in a lodge at the foot Alaska's Chugach Mountainsa range Shane helped uncover in the '90s. Surrounded by Tahoe locals who all have a Shane McConkey story, we watched the 2000 Scott Gaffney film "There's Something About McConkey." It's tough to say what got a bigger reaction; the ridiculous skits with Shane's alter-ego, Saucer Boy, extreme saucering at Squaw Valley and in Alaska, or the montage of big mountain lines that still hold up, a decade later, against anything being done today by the skiers Shane inspired.
Laughter and cheers echoed through the lodge until the very last frame of the film. Then we watched Shane, sh*t-eating grin bigger than ever, wave goodbye to us before casually falling backwards off some thousand foot bridge somewhere and plummeting out of the frame. It's as good an image as any to end on and, at least with this one, we get to wave back.

In the last ten years, blast fishing and other destructive practices have gone down by half in the Philippines, good news for the country's degraded coral reefs, according to a new report released Saturday.
The bad news, however, is that sedimentation due to human activities has surpassed it as a major threat to marine resources, posing a serious problem for fishers who comprise the poorest segment of the population, the report said.
Worse, the percentage of coral reefs deemed to be in "poor" condition rose from 33 per cent in the 1980s to 40 per cent in the most recent estimates, said Theresa Mundita Lim, director of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau.

What does a Zarziol's tongue look like?

Can I add hair/clothes/accessories to my Zarziol?
Yes! you are allowed to let its "fluff" grow out so it appears like hair.
You may also dress up/add accessories to your character.
Can I add extra features/body parts to my Zarziol?

La Esperanza is the capital city and a municipality of the same name of the department of Intibucá, Honduras. The city of La Esperanza is merged indistinguishably with the city of Intibucá, the head of the neighboring municipality of Intibucá. Intibucá is the older of the two cities and was originally a Lenca community, while La Esperanza is the newer ladino community.
The two cities, often called the twin cities, while distinct with separate municipal governments, are generally referred to jointly as La Esperanza, and are separated only by a street that crosses town. La Esperanza is famous for having the coolest climate in Honduras and for being the heart of the Ruta Lenca, a region of Lenca ethnic influence that spans Honduras from Santa Rosa de Copan to Choluteca.
Maya and Lenca people from pre-Columbian times who formed two settlements called Eramani and Lentercala originally occupied the area. In 1647, Mayor Francisco de La Cerda was appointed by the Spanish throne to officially demarcate the territory of the indigenous population.
He divided the land into two jurisdictions, not corresponding to the Eramani and Lentercala sites, and created boundaries and names for the surrounding small communities. Over time, the two jurisdictions developed a rivalry, especially over land. The cities grew in population especially in the 1800s and La Esperanza was named a villa on September 22, 1848. La Esperanza officially became a city in 1883 when the department of Intibucá was formed by separating from the neighboring department of Lempira, then called Gracias.
In 2002, permits were obtained by the Consorcio de Inversiones SA de CV (CISA) to build a hydroelectric dam on the Rio Intibucá over an abandoned hydro project. Called the La Esperanza Hydro Project after the city, the dam began producing electricity for the surrounding communities in 2003, but its phase two expansion was not completed until 2006. The project was the first in the world to generate Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
La Esperanza sits at an altitude of 1700 meters, making it the highest city in Honduras. It is bisected by the Rio Intibucá, which runs from the municipality of Intibucá through the municipality of La Esperanza. La Esperanza is situated in a relatively flat mountain valley, bordered by two chains of mountains, the Sierra de Puca Opalaca to the north and Montaña Zapochoco to the Southeast. The area of the La Esperanza municipality is 138.8-km2 and Intibucá 531 km2.
La Esperanza experiences two distinct seasons: the rainy season/winter from May to October and the dry season/summer from November to April. The rainiest months are June and September, and the driest months February and March. During the winter, it rains primarily in the afternoon and the intense showers often make small dirt roads into the surrounding mountain communities impassable.
La Esperanza receives average annual precipitation of 1400 mm. Due to its high altitude; La Esperanza has a cooler climate than most of Honduras, with an average annual temperature of 18.6°C (65.5°F). Temperatures in December and January often fall into the 40's at night. Hail has been reported on occasion, but it has never snowed. In the summer, high temperatures reach the 80's, but with low average humidity around 76%.
The predominant ethnic group is the Lenca people, who have existed in this region of Honduras since pre-Columbian times. The Lenca are the largest ethnic group in Honduras, numbering just over 100,000. The Lenca once had a distinct language, which is now lost, however other traditional customs still exist such as the production of textiles and pottery, dances, and clothing. The Lenca people, particularly women, can be recognized by their unique style of dress including brightly colored dresses and woven headscarves called pañuelos.
Daily Lenca fresh produce market
Life in La Esperanza and Intibucá is centered primarily on agriculture, which is the mainstay of most residents, especially the Lenca people. Due to its uniquely cool climate, the department is able to produce products that other departments cannot including potatoes, strawberries, and apples. La Esperanza is famous for its daily farmers market, which draws vendors and shoppers from around the department.
Lenca farmers arrive from the surrounding communities and sell their fruits and vegetables in the street while some La Esperanza residents manage permanent wooden stalls. Produce available includes lettuce, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, yucca, onions, cilantro, apples, blackberries, mangoes, pineapple, bananas, platanos, avocadoes, grapes, peaches and strawberries. The busiest market days are Saturday and Sunday.
As in the
rest of Honduras, the majority of the population is Roman Catholic, with a
growing percentage of Evangelicals. As
such, Christmastime or Navidad and Holy Week proceeding Easter, called Semana
Santa, are major times of celebration. Christmas
Eve, known as Nochebuena, is celebrated with a late-night dinner with family
and friends followed by lighting off fireworks at midnight.
For Holy Week, there is generally a series of processions and activities, with Good Friday, Viernes Santo having the largest procession and alfombras, designed carpets on the street made of colored sawdust.
Most businesses are closed Thursday and Friday of Holy Week since they are national holidays. In addition to Christmas and Easter, several other annual festivals and holidays are celebrated including:
Festival (Feria de Artesanía de La Ruta Lenca) - February
of the Department of Intibucá - April 16
Wine and
Mushroom Festival (Feria de Vino y Chorros) – June or July
Festival (Feria de La Papa) - July
from Spain (Día de Independencia) - September 15
may include parades, processions, marching bands, food tents, artisan
demonstrations, traditional dancing, live music, and fireworks.
Artisan Products
people make a variety of interesting handicrafts. Many women's groups use hand constructed
wooden looms to produce traditional Lenca woven textiles such as ponchos,
scarves, shawls, head scarves, table runners and tablecloths in bright colors.
A growing number of groups have begun to take advantage of the ample number of fallen pine needles from the surrounding forests, which they weave into sturdy and decorative baskets, potholders, and vases. White clay local to the region is used to produce a variety of unique ceramic items.
La Esperanza is well known for the production of sweet, liqueur-like wines from fruits such as strawberries, pears, peaches, blackberries, and apples as well as the local favorite, potatoes. Visitors to La Esperanza can purchase these items and many other artisan products from around Honduras at one of the three primary souvenir stores in town, UMMIL (Union de Mujeres Microempresarias Lencas de Intibucá), Opalacas, and El Rincon del Turista.
Esperanza can be most easily reached by car or bus from Siguatepeque via
Highway 22, which is paved, and in good condition. From La Esperanza, one can take the road to Yamaranquilla
and connect with Highway CA 11-A to reach San Juan, Intibucá; Gracias, Lempira;
and Santa Rosa de Copán, Copan.
Parts of the road between La Esperanza and San Juan are unpaved making them sometimes impassable during the rainy season, but the road is currently being paved. Transportes Carolina operates a fleet of Pullman buses, which run hourly to/from Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula making stops at major cities along the way.
There is also regular mini bus service to Marcala, Yamaranguila, San Juan, Erandique, Gracias, and Santa Rosa de Copan all leaving from the main bus terminal near the entrance to town. Chicken buses run to smaller surrounding communities.
The nearby
village of San Juan is known for its coffee production and for its proximity to
Erandique home to the ancient fortress of Lempira, an indigenous Honduran hero
who fought against the Spanish

I was thinking that in my client interface, I'd have a method called Subscribe, but that doesn't get me anywhere since the code to actually call the service can still be left out of the implementation. Is this possible?

Looking for a Used Tacoma in your area?
CarGurus has 25,621 nationwide Tacoma listings starting at $2,499.
2004 Toyota Tacoma Overview
The Toyota Tacoma saw very few changes for 2004. The few new additions included the availability of Vehicle Stability Control and the Active TRAC control system in certain trims.
The 2004 Toyota Tacoma came in a wide variety of trims, including the Regular Cab 4WD, Xtracab 4WD, Xtracab V6 4WD, Double Cab V6 4WD, Regular Cab 2WD, PreRunner Regular Cab 2WD, Xtracab 2WD, PreRunner Xtracab 2WD, S-Runner Xtracab V6 2WD, PreRunner, Double Cab 2WD, PreRunner Xtracab V6 2WD, and the PreRunner Double Cab V6 2WD. The new Double Cab models offered four doors instead of two and extra room in the extended cab. The S Runner was the sporty model, offering a sport-tuned suspension. Fuel economy was about 17/20 mpg.
Drivers like the Tacoma because it's compact and good-looking, but still behaves like a truck. They also say it is very reliable and the 4WD performs well off-road and in the snow. Some complaints include a bumpy ride and a too-small bed.

Eclectic, I'm a little too Libra for my own good and can see the benefits of many paths.
I've identified as pagan for 14 years but only been able to practice openly for 8 years as I grew up in a very Christian household where my beliefs were not welcome.
I have three children and hope to share ideas on introducing them to paganism. I also have a very Christian family and dealing with that is always a challenge, so I've had experience in that I can share.
I've found more people and websites that have influenced me than books. I'm a visual and kinetic learner so, just reading it often doesn't work for me.
Family friendly meetings are of big interest to me. My children are getting to the point where they could really benefit from other pagans in their lives, as the Christian influence is becoming overwhelming.
I've been pagan most of my life but rarely anything but a solitary practitioner. I seek community with like-minded individuals and the open exchange of ideas and good times.
