Can I have Remote Call Forward (RCF) on a ceased ISDN2e circuit?
Remote Call Forward can be applied to a ceased ISDN2e circuit on the main number, and on any single number DDIs. It cannot, however, be applied to any DDI range or part of a range, even if the main number is part of that range. One option is to have CNI on a DDI range. If the ISDN2e is on P-MP, then you can have RCF on each of the MSNs as well.

Read our response to her mistaken fears about salmon and mercury
by Randy Hartnell
During a recent interview on the E TV channel to promote her new spy thriller, Duplicity, Julia Roberts responded to a fans emailed question.
And although she expressed a love for salmon, she also voiced a mistaken fear of eating salmon frequently.
(The video clip, which only appeared last week, seems to have vanished from the channel's Web site and we can no longer find it anywhere.)
Her mistake was innocent... but the potential for Ms. Roberts and other public figures to do unintentional harm requires an educational response.
Shes actually lucky to love salmon, since WebMD just named fatty fish specifically salmon, sardines, and mackerel one of The Six Super Foods Every Woman Needs, with a recommended goal of 2 to 3 servings every week.
Heres my open letter to Ms. Roberts, informing her of the facts, and gently requesting a correction.
Dear Julia Roberts,
Im Randy Hartnell, founder of Vital Choice Wild Seafood & Organics, which I founded in 2002 after 20 years fishing Alaskan water for salmon and other species.
Ive loved your performances in many movies, and admire your humanitarian work for UNICEF and others.
And I need to bring to your attention an unfortunate remark you made recently about the safety of eating salmon.
During an interview about your upcoming spy thriller, Duplicity, you responded to a fan question read to you on the E TV channel.
This was the question: Julia, if you had to choose one meal to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
You responded, I guess salmon... but I would probably die of mercury poisoning then wouldn't I?
We want to make sure that you - and our readers and customers - know the facts.
Wild salmon is naturally low in mercury but rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, whose preventive health potential outstrips most food factors.
Yet, we continue to hear misguided fears, even though U.S. health agencies and independent advocacy organizations recommend salmon as a very safe, low-mercury species.
Heres the scoop.
Salmon is safe and positively healthful and so are most fish
Your misplaced mercury concern comes as no surprise, given the ongoing confusion about fish, mercury, and the safety of various seafood species.
U.S. health authorities and knowledgeable doctors urge Americans to eat more omega-3 fatty acids, whose benefits to heart health, brain function, and child development are undisputed.
And every one of the several recent evidence reviews conducted by university scientists found that the ample health rewards of fish-heavy diets far outweigh any risks to health posed by eating fish frequently.
As it happens, wild salmon rank high among the very safest and most beneficial fish in the sea.
Test data compiled by the three federal agencies that monitor mercury levels in fish EPA, FDA, and NOAA show that the average mercury content in salmon is very low.
Like these federal agencies, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) a leading critic of government efforts to limit mercury pollution considers wild Alaskan salmon safe to eat on a frequent basis. Based on US government tests, EWG lists wild Pacific Salmon among the species lowest in mercury and says, The risk of mercury in salmon appears to be minimal.
Also, consider this statement from the Alaska Division of Public Health (SOA 2001): Fortunately, mercury levels are very low in the most frequently consumed fish from Alaska, such as Salmon, Cod, Halibut . Mercury levels in Salmon are among the lowest found.
A recent review of the evidence confirmed the superior purity of wild Alaskan Salmon: Pacific Salmon had exceptionally low [mercury] concentrations (Jewett SC, Duffy LK 2007).
And recent data from Alaskas Fish Monitoring Program show that levels of organic pollutants (e.g., PCBs and dioxin) in salmon and other wild Alaskan fish fall well below the levels that would raise health concerns (SOA 2007).
Last but not least, wild Alaskan salmon is listed as a safe choice on the Sushi Guides issued last fall by three leading eco organizations (See Sushi Guides Endorse Our Seafood Choices).
We should add that most ocean fish are safe to eat frequently, with the exception of a very few high-mercury species - primarily swordfish, shark, tilefish, and King mackerel (not other kinds of mackerel).
And my company, Vital Choice, selects only smaller - hence lowest-mercury - tuna halibut, and sablefish because mercury accumulates in these and other predatory fish as they feed and grow over time.
Salmon are predators, too, but they only live two to four years, and sockeye, pink, and chum feed primarily on zooplankton and crustaceans, which are extremely low in mercury. (Silver and king eat more small fish, but remain very low in mercury.)
Please consider a public correction
It would be a shame were your fans to avoid one of the healthiest fish in the sea wild salmon because of an inadvertent error.
And folks who make their living harvesting and marketing salmon shouldnt suffer because of one offhand remark.
Salmon fisherman in Alaska risk their lives to harvest one of the healthiest foods left on earth, and can ill afford unwarranted damage to wild salmon markets already under siege by nutritionally and environmentally inferior farmed salmon.
On behalf of the wild salmon industry and all who admire your professional and charitable work, I respectfully request that you issue a clarification through E online, or any suitable outlet.
And please send a signed copy to me, Randy Hartnell Ill definitely frame it!
I wouldnt normally include scientific references in a letter, but you will find some at the end of this one.
After all, we do sell wild salmon, so I wouldnt blame you for wanting to make sure we can confirm what we say.

So I signed all their paperwork, put $500 down as a deposit, and spent another $600 on airline tix & a hotel for my dad & brother to go pick it up (I wasn't able to go). Upon inspection of the truck, it was obviously in much worse condition than what was represented to me. There were major scratches all over and areas that looked as though they had been painted over to hide major imperfections. The paint didn't match the rest of the truck and had that bubbling look from a bad paint job. There was NO muffler on the exhaust and the truck looked as though it was used mainly as an off road vehicle. The tires were trashed and worst of all, there was a major oil leak somewhere in the engine that must have been dripping onto one of the belts because there was oil splattered all over the engine and inside of the hood. If that doesn't count as a mechanical problem, I don't know what does. They had other trucks with 120,000+ miles on them that looked better than this one. When my dad called Tim out on his lies to me, he responded with "maybe you guys should have called to ask about the truck instead of your daughter." Apparently they feel that a woman doesn't know anything about trucks and therefore doesn't deserve truthful answers! What a jerk!!
To top it all off, while my dad was waiting to get my deposit back, he overheard Tim and his buddy talking trash in the other room calling us "nit picky Californians". HA!! I'm sorry, but if I'm going to pay almost $20,000 for a vehicle and travel 1,800 miles to pick it up, I don't expect to be blatantly lied to! And I sure as hell expect the vehicle to be in better condition than that!
These guys are the reason car salesmen have such a bad rap. Theyre dishonest, rude, and very unprofessional. I would NOT recommend buying a vehicle from them unless you have a chance to thoroughly inspect it first. Needless to say, this was an expensive lesson.

Nathan was the salesmen I dealt with and he answered each and every question I had. He also picked me up and drove me to the dealership. He was pleasant and informative about the truck. I asked questions, drove the truck, at one point he crawled underneath the truck to check something I asked about.. I had all the time I wanted to inspect the truck, I called a dealership to check/verify warranty info and received an unsolicited compliment about NTTS from the person I was talking to in the dealership service department!
I'm female, I don't expect anything but fair service but its also my job to be educated about the vehicle I'm buying. I drove my truck 12 hours back to Missouri and LOVED it. I also put over 50k miles in one year so it had plenty of time to have problems! I got a fair price, good service, and drove the heck out of this truck WITH NO PROBLEMS!! When I get ready to buy a truck, they will get a shot at my business again! I also recommended them to several people from my area. My husband and father were in the background reminding me of those technical questions but this was my deal and I felt in no way intimidated or slighted bc I was a woman during my experience!! Thank you NTTS!

Internet sales is our business. We fully understand the importance of our customers and the online reputation they build for us. Perhaps Rip-Off Report should not allow people to flagrantly slander honest businesses without regard to fact or business history with the complainant.
If you have an issue with another dealership that you have in fact done business with, North Texas Truck Stop would appreciate it if you would complain to them through Rip-Off Report instead of needlessly slandering our name out of your spite for used car dealerships in general.

Complaintant never saw the truck. An accurate description of the condition/events is questionable.

The author of the above report was not present at the dealership at the time of dispute nor did she ever lay her own eyes on the vehicle. I would question her ability to give a detailed description of the truck and the accuracy of quoting our salesman word-for-word is she did not herself hear the conversation. This story lends itself to a bit of exaggeration and any description of the events that occurred at our dealership by anyone who was not present should be taken with a grain of salt.
If our salesman was rude, I will not dispute that. If he was mistaken about the truck having an oil leak, I will accept that. He is human and therefore can make mistakes.
The removal of mufflers is a common modification done to diesel trucks to lower exhaust gas temperatures which promotes the usable life of the turbocharger. It is perfectly legal in the state of Texas and is not a sign of abuse as the above report would lead you to believe.
I would not say that we think that a woman doesn't know anything about trucks. We would, however, take issue with the fact that the author of the above report negotiated the deal from start to finish, then sent someone else, with a different set of criteria and opinions of what a used truck should be, to finish the deal. This type of situation will always end in a communication breakdown.
The end result was that the persons representing the author of the above report wanted several thousand dollars off the negotiated price. We were unable to meet this demand. They found several other trucks, but wanted thousands off the asking price for those vehicles as well. They finally informed us that they were of the opinion that they could find trucks cheaper in California. We did not argue that point with them and they returned to California.
Soon thereafter, someone purchased the truck they had flown in for and was very satisfied with the condition and left a happy customer.
We have sold 3,500 trucks and we try to do the right thing. Sometimes it is impossible to find a solution that is amicable to everyone involved. The number of satisfied customers far outweighs the handful that leaves dissatisfied.

Nauru's economy is in a dismal state and the country could soon be in a crisis, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said in its annual outlook on countries in the region.
The short-term cash inflow from Austrialia, which paid the country to house asylum-seekers has just put off the impending crisis for a short time. The ADB noted government's lack of financial transparency and said the true situation is difficult to assess.
'While the economy was boosted toward the end of 2001 by external financial support, the medium-term outlook is weak, given the adverse effect of declining phosphate reserves and many years of poor fiscal management,' the ADB stated. 'The provision of basic public services is regularly disrupted and is at serious risk over the medium term.'
Nauru's economy is dominated by the public sector. The government also owns the country's main on-island income-earning activity, a phosphate mining operation. The private sector is very small and consists largely of trade stores, an offshore banking sector, and some fishing operations. Phosphate output dropped off sharply in the early 1990s and is now at around a quarter of the levels seen in the late 1980s. This decline has led to economic activity becoming increasingly dependent on the government wages bill, compensation and royalty payments to landowners, and other initiatives as the main stimulus to demand, and this trend continued over 2001.
The state of government finances is difficult to assess. But it is clear that the government faced serious cash constraints in 2001. This was due mainly to the suspension of phosphate exports in the second half of the year caused by the blockade of a processing plant as landowners sought additional compensation for the land occupied by the plant.
By early 2002, government payrolls and payments to several creditors were delayed. The government continued to rely heavily on the practically insolvent Bank of Nauru to help fund its budget deficits and royalty payments. As Nauru uses the Australian dollar as its currency, inflation often follows the Australian inflation rate. However, the significant transport element (due to distances from major markets) and a lagged effect of oil price rises led to higher inflation in Nauru than Australia during the year.
In the second half of 2001, the government of Nauru agreed with the government of Australia to house and process over 1,000 asylum-seekers transferred from Australian waters.
In return, Australia has agreed to fund a range of Nauru's equipment, material, and services needs as well as all costs of caring for the asylum-seekers.
These payments will both enhance government service delivery and provide an injection of demand into the economy that will help support economic activity in 2002 and, potentially, beyond. In total, Australia's net contribution to Nauru's economy is expected to be substantial.
A pressing problem for the economy is the frequent disruptions of supplies of food, fuel, equipment, and materials. Air Nauru, the only airline servicing the country, faced repeated interruptions in 2001 due to a shortage of funds for lease payments, fuel, maintenance, and other running costs. Prior to Australian support, fuel supplies on the island had frequently been exhausted before the next shipment arrived.
Public services, notably power, telecommunications, water, and health care also faced increasing problems over the year.
It is expected that government revenues from phosphate mining will continue to weaken over the medium term: primary phosphate resources are largely exhausted and difficult to access; much of the mining operation's equipment is in a poor state; there is gross overstaffing; and plans to mine secondary deposits are not well developed. This decline in revenues will place considerable pres-sure on the budget.
Over time, the government has faced fewer options to fund its continuing deficits. In the past, loans were acquired from official bilateral sources, overseas corporations, or the local bank, and deficits were also funded by draw-downs from the Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (NPRT). However, the ability to secure new deficit funding is seriously impaired by the absence of adequate collateral, local liquidity, or future revenue sources. For fiscal year 2002 (ending 30 June 2002), a deficit of A$40 million A$50 million is budgeted, but it is unclear how this can be fully funded.
An ADB-sponsored reform program that began in 1998 was intended to promote an orderly adjustment process through fiscal and financial reforms and a one-third reduction in the civil service headcount to around 1,200. However, the retrenchment program was largely reversed in early 2000 with the appointment of up to 500 additional employees to the mining operation.
At the same time, the net worth of the NPRT is believed to have seriously eroded due to the financing of continued large government deficits and poor investment of the Trust's assets.
Improved fiscal discipline would require streamlining the civil service, reducing subsidies to government services, and adopting a more appropriate tax regime (few taxes are currently levied in Nauru). The government also needs to consider further reform to its offshore banking sector.
An important step toward bottom-up reform was made in 1999 through a National Economic Summit; however, the proceedings of the Summit were not made public. There is a need to improve transparency. The true debt position of the government and its instrumentality, the net worth of the NPRT, and the reasons for the substantial decline in its value are not fully known. The economy's eventual adjustment will be made more difficult by its limited human resources base and, as the funds to employ such labor diminish, Nauruan workers will have to seek employment in the private sector. However, their weak education background limits their ability to undertake technical tasks, or to migrate as economic conditions deteriorate. Economic adjustment is likely to exacerbate existing social problems. In the late 1990s, the unemployment rate of those aged 15–19 was esti-mated to be 33% for males and 52% for females.
This situation will worsen as employment opportunities in the public sector and the very small private sector decline; replacement jobs will be very difficult to generate. There is a high incidence of gout and diabetes, because of poor dietary habits, and the incidence of these and other health problems can be expected to rise as incomes decline and funding tightens for health care and other public services. There is a very real risk of crisis over the medium term if there is a substantial shortage of public funds.

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
by Walt Whitman
Section 21 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 98
Every thing indicates—the smallest does, and the largest does,
- We think that this section points back to Section 3 and the discussion of the "well-joined scheme," the grand design of the world. We can never see the whole scheme, but "every thing indicates" what it looks like. Small things tell us just as much about the world as large things do.
- You can see why Whitman is a favorite of environmentalists and biologists everywhere.
Line 99
A necessary film envelops all, and envelops the Soul for a proper time.
- He has been saying all along that all things are connected, but now he gets a little more specific (with emphasis on "a little").
- Everything, he says, is "enveloped" or contained by a "necessary film." Note that "film" doesn't mean "movie" – those weren't invented yet. It means something like a thin, invisible substance that coats everything, the way that wax coats leaves. Bubbles, for example, are composed of a kind of "film" (as are the soap scum that coats your bathroom walls).
- But Whitman's uses "film" in a positive sense. The film also coats the "Soul" – as long as we're alive.

Ducati Motors CEO Federico Minoli resigned today, just a day after the Italian motorcycle maker announced it will pull out of the New York Stock Exchange because of low trading volume.
Minoli made his resignation, effective May 21, by video statement in Italian and English, which later appeared on YouTube.
Minoli's comments were bittersweet. He said his resignation was "simply because the new shareholders would like to get, in my place, someone closer to them." But he took credit for bringing the company from its former struggles to a going concern.
"We are going to have a great year this year because of the new products, the Hypermotard and the 1098," he said. "This success we are enjoying today comes from 1996, when we entered a company that had stopped producing. But we found two great jewels, the 916 and the Monster that were left to us..."
Those two inspired the current line, Minoli said.
"From 1996 to 2001, we redid the entire company. The Ducati store concept came out, the idea of a Ducati community, the Ducati clubs, the World Ducati Weekend, and all what came to revitalizing the brand and really launch it as a global brand," he said.
He acknowledged products that "did not really strike the imagination" between 2001 and 2003, but said an overhaul of research and development has brought the company where it is today.
"Every single penny from 2003 to 2005 went into research and development," he said. "And Voila! They were very good, they have produced some astonishing product that have this company back into success."
The company has seen ups and downs recently. Roberto Maestroni resigned his post as a director May 2, for personal reasons. The board appointed Gabriele Del Torchio to fill that vacancy. Maestroni did not own shares in the company.
But it also announced Monday that first quarter sales were up to 8,903, vs. 7,337 in the same period in 2006.
The company cited the costs of listing and low trading volume for its decision Monday to leave the NYSE. Shares were set to close at $20.86 Tuesday, up 10 cents, with a 52-week price range of $6.90 to $22 per share.

|United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
UNESCO's strategy for the Dialogue among civilizations is based on several documents emanating either from UNESCO itself or from resolutions adopted by the United Nations General assembly. These documents include:
26 March 2003 -- 166 EX 5 Part I: Report by the Director-General on the follow-up of decisions adopted by the Executive Board at its previous sessions 164 EX Decision 7.1.3 -- Report by the Director-General on UNESCO's contribution to the implementation of the Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations
20 October 2001 -- UNESCO General Conference 31C/Res/39 -- Call for international co-operation to prevent and eradicate acts of terrorism
7 May 2002 -- 164 EX 27 -- "Intensifying the dialogue among communities, cultures and civilizations" (paragraph 5 a.)
164 EX Decision 7.1.3 -- Report by the Director-General
on UNESCO's contribution to the
implementation of the
Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations
UNESCO has actively pursued the implementation of the United Nations Global Agenda for Dialogue among Civilizations, and the provisions of the Executive Board decisions on the subject, in particular "with a view to encouraging and facilitating dialogue among civilizations and formulating ways and means to promote dialogue among civilizations in the activities of the United Nations in various fields", as envisaged by the United Nations General Assembly.
UNESCO has reinforced its contribution to the "dialogue among civilizations", in its areas of competence, drawing on partnerships with other agencies of the United Nations, regional and subregional organizations and their specialized agencies, research institutions, the academic world in general, civil society in general and parliamentarians. A genuine process of reviewing the concept of, and approaches to, dialogue among civilizations has been started with a view to broadening its scope and enhancing its relevance to current challenges in various regions and subregions, including the identification of new obstacles to dialogue and the analysis of emerging, new ignorances.
Action in favour of the dialogue among civilizations has been closely linked to the celebration of the United Nations Year for Cultural Heritage, among others through the wide dissemination of information and promotion material underlining UNESCO's integrated approach comprising dialogue between cultures, reconciliation based on the values of heritage in all its forms, and sustainable development. Action in favour of intercommunity reconciliation and common safeguarding of heritage threatened by conflict have taken place in several regions, and new initiatives and reinforcements are envisaged with the setting up of the international coordination committee for the safeguarding of the Afghan cultural heritage. Well-entrenched activities related to the dialogue among civilizations have also been pursued in the context of the General and Regional Histories Series, the Arabia Plan, the Mediterranean Programme, the Slave Route project, the Intercultural Dialogue in Central Asia Project, and the Programme on Interreligious Dialogue. 4. Special efforts have been made to link action in favour of the dialogue among civilizations systematically to the follow-up to and implementation of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity. An important initiative in this regard has been the joint UNESCO-UNEP High-Level Round Table on "Cultural Diversity and Biodiversity for Sustainable Development", held at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (26 August-4 September 2002). Moreover, by resolution 57/249, the United Nations General Assembly has welcomed the adoption of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and proclaimed 21 May as World Day of Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.
In order to broaden the basis of UNESCO's activities pertaining to the dialogue among civilizations and to involve a larger number of contributors from different regions and experiences, a global (electronic, Internet-based) network has been set up, involving competent international organizations and research institutions as well as individual researchers, philosophers and intellectuals. The network will serve the threefold purpose of: (i) identifying potential contributors to various UNESCO activities on the subject; (ii) gaining an overview of various activities and approaches in different countries and regions; and (iii) undertaking outreach and advocacy efforts about UNESCO's approaches and results of various endeavours.
Coherence and complementarity between different regional and subregional approaches to the dialogue among civilizations have also been pursued through publications, presentations at international conferences and a dedicated website. Scientific and policy-relevant papers and speeches on the subject of dialogue among civilizations, presented in international conferences, organized or co-organized by the Organization, have been systematically published in UNESCO's "Dialogue Series":
"The Round Table on the Eve of the United Nations Millennium Summit", United Nations Headquarters, 5 September 2000 (published 2001);
"The International Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, 23-26 April 2001" (published 2002);
"Civilizations in the Eye of the Other", Proceedings of the international conference, Paris, 13 and 14 December 2001 (published 2002 and available online in English (www.unesco.org/dialogue2001));
"Dialogue of Civilizations", Kyoto, 3 August 2002. An international conference on the Political Aspects of the Dialogue of Civilizations (forthcoming April 2003).
Several presentations have been made at international conferences and meetings on
UNESCO's involvement in the dialogue among civilizations, e.g. the international conference on
"Western Policies Towards the Islamic World", Wilton Park, United Kingdom, 15 February 2002;
the International Policy Dialogue "Development of Cultures – Cultures of Development", Berlin,
Germany, 4-5 March 2002; the Joint Meeting of Euro-Arab Cooperation, organized by the Euro-Arab Task Force of UNESCO National Commissions, the Council of Europe and
ALECSO, Strasbourg, 28-29 October 2002; the international conference "Dialogue between Civilizations:
Women's Empowerment", Brussels, 3-5 March 2003. Substantial input has been frequently
provided to addresses by the President of the General Conference. A dedicated website with latest news and contact information is constantly being updated (www.unesco.org/dialogue2001).
UNESCO has actively reinforced its involvement in co-organizing international conferences, meetings and events on the dialogue among civilizations. The second international symposium "Civilizations: how we see others, how others see us", was co-organized by UNESCO and the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes at Headquarters on 30 January 2003. The symposium, the proceeding of which will be published in June 2003, brought together academics and intellectuals from different continents to continue discussions begun in December 2001, at the first symposium organized within the framework of the United Nations Year of Dialogue among Civilizations. A third symposium of the series will be held in 2004 on the theme: "Les civilisations dans le regard de l'autre : le commun et le responsable".
UNESCO has provided support to the forthcoming symposium on the "Dialogue among Civilizations" to be held in Sana'a, Yemen, and is actively and substantially involved in the preparations for the Regional Forum on the Dialogue among Civilizations, co-organized by the President of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Director-General of UNESCO, to be held in Ohrid, on 29 and 30 August 2003. In a similar vein, support is being provided to the organization of an international conference "Dialogue among Civilizations – Quest for New Perspectives", envisaged for 9 and 10 July 2003 in New Delhi, India.
As a new initiative in the overall effort to intensify the dialogue among communities, cultures and civilizations, UNESCO is making steps to strengthen public-private partnerships in this domain, especially with a view to enhancing intercultural dialogue and exchange at the global level within the ASP network, promoting intercultural partnership and cooperation in the area of engineering and technology, and developing an authentic and diversified communication platform for the entire initiative on the Internet.
(a) Intensifying the dialogue among communities, cultures and civilizations
Dialogue in the present global circumstances needs to address a complex range of sociopolitical
issues and parameters, cutting across all fields of competence of the Organization
and all regions and cultures. It ranges,inter alia, from the impact of globalization, human
rights, migration to the impact of scientific and technological developments.
UNESCO will seek to broaden the scope of the dialogue and to make it more relevant to
current challenges by reviewing and assessing the concept and past approaches to the dialogue
among cultures and civilizations, identifying and overcoming obstacles to dialogue, including
new and old ignorances and prejudices, and charting novel approaches to dialogue beyond
established frameworks. Different dimensions must be included, drawing also on belief
systems, cultural parameters, scientific expertise, civil society resources, such as
parliamentarians, and especially young people. Effective new modalities and tools will
enhance international encounters, such as through hearings presenting contradictory
164 EX/27 – page 3
viewpoints, the use of new media and information and communication technologies to enlarge
the outreach, and the production of studies and interactive media materials.
Efforts will be made to reach the young generation with materials developed for them
conveying the universal messages on peace and understanding promoted by UNESCO.
The conduct of corresponding media education and training programmes will serve to impart
historical, educational, ethical and value dimensions to press and media professionals,
especially young journalists, so as to promote informed and sensitized reporting and coverage
by independent media of events, particularly in situations of violence and areas of conflict.
"Violence on the screen" has a significant impact on young people. Based on previous
UNESCO studies, follow-up research could be launched going beyond the traditional
"cause-effect" approach and seeking to analyse processes inculcating values into the minds of
Expected results:
(i) obstacles to dialogue and measures to address them better identified, in partnership with
regional and international organizations;
(ii) better understanding reached of contradictory viewpoints and interregional and
intercultural understanding promoted;
(iii) new mechanisms and encounters designed and tested to involve a broader segment of
society in dialogue-related activities and exchanges, including parliamentarians,
educators, scientists, journalists and youth;
(iv) audiovisual media (including dedicated television programmes) and ICT-based content
(including CD-ROMs and websites) developed to foster dialogue and networking
activities and to share conclusions and results of dialogue events, especially through
UNESCO's Infoyouth programme and the associated schools;
(v) online material and CD-ROMs for children and youth with access to the Internet
developed and disseminated through UNESCO's portal and school networks;
(vi) young media professionals sensitized to historical, educational, ethical and value
dimensions so as to promote informed coverage of events, particularly in situations of
violence and areas of conflict.

Total retail drug store sales for the five-week period ended April 3 rose 4.7% to $474 million, the company said.

After placing 27th in her rookie season, Lovelace jumped a whopping 24 spots, placing third at the Individual Competition Cheerleading Championships. The sophomore finished just behind teammate Brighton Landroche with a score of 71.25. �Hailey�s dancing, jumps and tumbling were major assets to our team this year, as well as her flying,� said West Warwick coach Jennifer Degraide. �She has always been an amazing cheerleader, but she really pushed herself this year with her flying abilities, which will be instrumental for our team in the future.�

Howell's 56th minute goal did the trick for the Daggers on their home patch as they upset the promotion-chasing Robins.
And Still was understandably pleased after his side ended a run of three games without a win.
"I'm delighted for the lads, we gave everything," he said. "We knew it was going to be a really tough game for us because Cheltenham are having a great season.
"But we didn't worry that we'd never beaten them, although it's nice to end that record."
And Still paid special tribute to goalscorer Howell after his goal secured three welcome points.
It was Howell's eighth goal of the season and first in six games as Still's battling charges delighted their loyal supporters at the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Stadium.
"It was a smart finish, I'm really happy for him," added Still. "He took the goal well and it came at just the right time for us
"I thought we deserved the win. We had a lot of chances, especially in the first half.
"I'm really happy, hopefully we kick on and build on this performance."

Kid Cudi's currently invading cities across the country as part of his "Cud Life Tour." Besides the music, the talk of the show has been Cudi's next-level spacesuit he's currently wearing on stage. Cudi swapped out the usual vintage t-shirt and jean uniform for the astronaut-esque suit that was designed by noted Hollywood costume designer Jose Hernandez.
Officially dubbed the "Satellite Academy Space Suit" Cudi will wear the otherworldy duds on every stop of the "Cud Life Tour." As he explains, it's more than just an interesting clothing choice; the suit represents a transition in his mind-state back to the highly anticipated Man On The Moon III album that's coming in 2015. While Cudi was traveling to Vancouver, he spoke to us about the details of the suit, and what we can expect from the final chapter of the "Man on the Moon" trilogy.
Interview by Joe La Puma (@jlapuma)
I thought it would be cool to give people some type of Moon Man visual, which I've never done before.
What made you decide that this tour was the right time to have a customized spacesuit?
Well, when I look back at the Indicud album coming out, I realize that it was a big transition for me as an artist. I wanted to absorb the music and take my live show to the next level.
With that train of thought, I took a step back and started to think about ways I could bring an experience to the kids at the show. Leading up to the storyline of Man on the Moon III, I feel like everything that's happening up to now is the prelude. With the way Indicud left off, it was like I went back to the moon to gain some peace of mind. I jumped back in my ship and left Earth after I was resurrected from the death of Mr. Rager in Man on the Moon II.
So this is part of the warm-up for Man on the Moon III.
This is me thinking about the trilogy and the theme of the story to show what Man on the Moon III is going to be, subject-matter wise. I thought it would be cool to give people some type of Moon Man visual, which I've never done before. It's always been metaphorical, but coming up with the suit idea just hit me.
How did the process of the suit being made start?
I reached out to my boy Omarr Rambert who works with Jaden Smith after I saw the After Earth suit in the preview. I was watching the trailer, and I thought, "Man, that suit is fresh. It'd be dope if I had something like that on the road." Then I just started wondering if it would be possible.
Omar made some calls and got me in touch with José Hernandez, who created the suit for After Earth and many other films. He's been a part of so many things, whether it's X-Men, Spider-Man, or Tron. The dude's work is remarkable and he pays close attention to detail. He's a genius. Linking up with him was awesome because he understood my vision. We went back and forth a couple times on the designs, but once we had it, we had it. Then everything came together.
What are some special features that, to the untrained eye, people may not catch?
Well, the first special feature is that there's a zip-hole for me to take a bathroom break—not kidding—that no one knows about. There's that. Also, it's really comfortable. We did a full-body scan so that it would be totally designed for my body, and it fits really well. It's actually a bit of a workout on stage, and it feels awesome to be performing in it and sweating.
Outside of that, the detail on the backpack is something that we paid close attention to, because we wanted to have my ears hidden. José got the measurements and created the little hidden space in the book bag with wires so the antenna can come out, and I can adjust the volume on the pack as well. So that's a dope little custom feature, as opposed to back in the day, where I had to reach behind on my back pocket and turn up the volume. Now the pack is hidden, and it's not such an eyesore.
What other aesthetic details were the focus?
With the logo on the chest, I was like, "I really want to have an emblem, but I don't want it to be super fuckin' cheesy." I just wanted to have my logo, and I designed the whole gold crest that it's in. When he showed it to me, I was like, "Holy shit, that's exactly what I'm looking for."
José said, "Do you want to have lights on the shoes?" And I said, "I don't want to take the lighting to the extreme." We even got to a point where we were talking about a helmet at first, but I think that the suit and the emblem on the chest are enough flair. It's already intense that I'm wearing this suit. We didn't wanna OD on it and cross that line between creative and cheesy because it's a thin line.
It's still a far departure from most on-stage ensembles.
Let's be real, I'm ultimately performing in tights. I'm always thinking about the best way to execute things with taste. It's still flashy and dope. People aren't going to look at it and be like, "What the fuck is this dude doing?" Even the people who are looking at it that way, whatever. I'm wearing a fucking awesome ass, custom-made space suit designed by the hottest costume designer in Hollywood. Shit is a dream come true.

How can I get new clients as an introverted financial advisor?
I'm finishing my economics degree this year and I've decided that I would like to become a fee-for-service financial advisor. The one major issue is that I'm strongly introverted and I'm not confident about my ability to find new clients. I'm looking for book recommendations and sage advice from those with similar types of careers. [more inside]

How to sell a rare and possibly valuable manuscript?
I have come into possession of a handwritten manuscript by Cecil Day-Lewis, noted British author and poet (and father of Daniel Day Lewis). I have been asked to determine the value of the manuscript, and sell it. It was inherited by a family friend, who wants rid of it. Aside from contacting rare book people (which I have done/am still doing) do any mefites have ideas on how to get the most for it?? [more inside]

The first chapter, on the creative child, should interest every one of our readers born with better than average brains and with some tendency to independent thinking and creativity. The writer is E. Paul Torrance of the Bureau of Educational Research of the University of Minnesota. As Torrance says, the creative child usually has a hard road to go, both at home and at school. In later life he may say, "Ridicule and punishment have been mine since the day of birth."
I can remember that my teachers in high school were always complaining to my mother that I was not a good student, that I didn't study, that I wasn't interested in what was going on in the classroom, or that sometimes I was so wrapped up in something I was thinking about that I didn't hear what was said to me. My teachers had so little understanding of

Jordan UMC Church – Jordan, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Clarendon County Photos | Jordan UMC Church
Jordan United Methodist Church near Manning was established at least by 1878, when its congregation built a new church that attracted the former members of Gessamine Methodist Church. The remaining members of Gessamine Methodist formed Bethlehem Methodist, along with members of Zoar Methodist, using Gessamine Methodist's vacated building.
Jordan Methodist's current church was built in the twentieth century and lost its steeple during Hurricane Hugo in 1989, though it was replaced following the storm. The church received another steeple in June 13, 2014, designed to resemble the one lost in the hurricane.

Urinary Tract Infection
Urinary tract infections are caused by the presence of bacteria in the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections can affect the lower urinary tract and in more severe cases they can progress to upper urinary tract infections involving the kidneys.
The signs of a urinary tract infection include straining to urinate, blood seen in the urine, a foul odor to the urine and inappropriate urination. In treating the infection immediately we hope to avoid a more severe infection. The diagnosis of a urinary tract infection can be reached through a thorough physical exam, urinalysis and possibly a urine culture. Urinalysis findings that can indicate an infection are red blood cells, white blood cells and bacteria. These are all abnormal findings and are indicative of a problem.
Some underlying diseases can predispose our pets to urinary tract infections. These diseases include diabetes, thyroid disease, Cushing's disease, bladder stones and kidney stones. If urinary tract infections seem to be recurring, it may be time to look at the overall health of your pet to assess any other issues that may be present.
Typically, with no underlying problems, a course of antibiotics will quickly clear an infection. Recurrent or untreated urinary tract infections can lead to other problems such as bladder stones or a kidney infection. Always pay attention to the signs your pet is displaying and have regular check-ups to prevent health issues.
