I am 14 weeks pregnant and start at the USPS on monday. ĀI did not disclose my pregnancy. ĀThey give you a "physical" which is just a questionnaire, however one question said, "Do you have an illness or medical condition that could hinder your ability to do this job?" ĀI answered no, I will be inside the post office eventually selling stamps and working the window. ĀMy question is, how many others are starting or have started a new position and did or did you not disclose pregnancy? ĀI really don't think it will hinder my job performance, but I am nervous on "coming out" I guess, I don't want them to feel I lied.
Got a new Job!! with the USPS...question!

Legally, you were not required to disclose that you are pregnant, so whatever uneasiness you are feeling, you should remember that.┬Ā
That's true. Thanks.

After the baby is born do you plan on returning to the job?┬Ā If the answer is yes, once you "come out" just make sure to reassure them of that.
However if I were in your position I would be concerned about getting enough maternity leave....I believe with FMLA you don't qualify if you've only been there less than a year, so they wouldn't have to allow you the whole time.┬Ā And you probably won't have all that much vacation time saved up.┬Ā Just something to think about and read up on, and discuss with the HR person as the time gets closer.┬Ā

If you are a full time permanent employee, I would wait until you are showing to say something. USPS has a union and they can make sure they hold your job for you. If you are a Casual, Flex or Part-Time Flex employee, they have the option to not renew you at the end of your contract. You got really lucky to get a window clerk job. I know people who have been trying to get into that for years. They usually reserve those jobs for carriers who can't carry anymore due to some medical disability.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Say I have 100,000 books titles I want to use.
10 or so extension words.
Would it be better to group them by the book title (1 agroup per title) OR
Group by extension, so only 10 adgroups, each with 10,000 words (I could also break them down to maybe 50 books per adgroup).
I'm thinking of doing the former, grouping them by the book title. I've been reading somewhere that you can only have so many adgroups per campaign. Is it even possible to have 100,000 adgroups per campaign? Would I need to talk to google to allow me to do that?
Also, are there max campaigns you can have per account? Say 1 Campaign for each Author?

Photos/Quotes: Felix Sturm vs. Sam Soliman Presser
It was officially announced today that former three-time WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm and IBF no. 1 ranked contender Sam Soliman will face each other in an IBF World Title Eliminator on February 2, 2013 at the ISS Dome in Dusseldorf, Germany. The bout will determine the next challenger of the Daniel Geale vs. Anthony Mundine II winner on January 30.
Quotes from the first Press Conference:
Felix Sturm, Three-Time Middleweight Champion: "Sam Soliman is a strong opponent, there is a reason why is the IBF no. 1 contender. My fight against Daniel Geale is in the past. Naturally, we want the rematch since this would be one of the biggest fights at 160.
But right now, I'm completely focused on Sam. I want to prove something to the world and make the next step to my fourth world title. Nothing will go wrong this time. Even a close win wouldn't be satisfying for me."
Fritz Sdunek, Trainer Felix Sturm: "I will be with Felix for the complete camp this time. We had some scheduling problems before the Geale but because Vitali Klitschko fought the week after, but now, he is my only focus. Sam Soliman is a strong, a difficult opponent, who builds enormous pressure. Nevertheless, I'm convinced that Felix will beat him on February 2nd.
Sam Soliman and his team joined the presser via Skype:
Sam Soliman, IBF No. 1 160 lbs Contender: "I've been to Germany a couple times and I liked it over there, so it's great to be back one more time. I'm happy to fight an accomplished and strong boxer like Felix Sturm. He is one of the best in the world but make no mistake, I won't let him stop me on my way to becoming world champion."
David Hedgecock, Trainer Sam Soliman: "This fight is an opportunity to get a shot at Daniel Geale, who has been avoiding us for quite some time. With a win, he can't run away anymore. We have to beat Felix Sturm and I'm confident we will do so."
Golovkin offered this coward Sturm a title fight after he knocked Proksa out and this duck Sturm said no. He will never man up. I am surprised people in Germany keep watching his fightsComment by Freedom. on 12-13-2012
Hopefully we'll see Ruslan Chagaev on this card against a decent top 50 opponent.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (2)

This mild, alcohol-free toner hydrates with plant-based ingredients as it fortifies all skin types with antioxidants.
Completely free of the irritating natural ingredients (and fragrance) so prevalent in many natural skincare products, this toner contains only those natural ingredients that are proven to benefit skin. It's an excellent option for those with sensitive, reddened skin, as this ultra-soothing toner contains numerous ingredients designed to reduce inflammation while promoting healthy collagen production.
This toner works to remove the last traces of makeup and has a unique, silky, fluid, gel-like texture that deposits hydrating ingredients for smoother, healthier looking skin. If natural is your thing, this toner's 98% naturally derived formula won't disappoint.

Not for my skin

Comments about Paula's Choice Skincare Earth Sourced Purely Natural Refreshing Toner:
I normally use the Resist Toner, but I decided to give this a try. It did not irritate my skin, but I found it rather drying. I have somewhat dry skin and my skin felt a bit uncomfortable after using this until I got my serum and moisturizer on.I'm sure this is fine for normal or combination skin. But it didn't suit mine. I checked that I would recommend this to a friend, but that would be with reservations, depending in their skin type.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Beautypedia Team Response:Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience. Be sure to e-mail the Paula's Choice customer service team and they can help you with a refund or exchange if needed! =)

All I can say is ...

... I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like it! <3
Great example of value of toners!
By Scott B.
This is my 2nd fave toner (1st is orig Resist). It is packed with so many effective and 'best of class' anti-ox's that I use it as a sort of spa treatment: just rub in the semi-gel lotion & I feel all the power the formula contains help restore my skin to it's normal, calm and clear self. Just lovely.
Luscious and lovely!
By Sonja L.
Great texture, feels so good on clean skin. Love!
Not for my sensitive skin
By Crystal E.
This has a nice silky texture and a pleasant clean unscented type scent, but 1 minute after I applied my face burned, reddened, and irritation bumps developed on my cheeks. Fortunately, my face was back to normal in about an hour and no actual breakouts have developed (it's been 12 hours). Looking over the ingredients now (stupidly I didn't do this before) and I think the grape seed extract is the culprit since I've reacted badly to it in the past. Luckily, I only purchased the sample size.
Nice cool and soothing
By ABQ505
I liked how this felt on my skin but I didn't see any results to keep using it. It does lightly moisturize if that is what you are looking for. I do like how it felt but see no need to continue to buy based on that.
A winner!
By Maya
I like to use this toner in place of my usual one, when my skin is red or a bit irritated or dry. It's really soothing and ULTRA gentle. We have very "hard" water in my city, so I use toner on a cotton pad after cleansing, to wipe away any dulling mineral deposits from the sink water. PC packaging is not nearly as attractive as it could be, but I can overlook that. I love that it's a plant based product... so nice that Paula is now offering some natural options! Will be repurchasing!

The Best Toner Ever!
By Victoria P
This is, by far, the best toner I have ever used. I have combination, sensitive skin and am allergic to many fragrances in skin care. This product is so pure and soothing I can't wait to use it! I use it in the morning after cleansing with the matching cleanser; I mix just 3 drops with 3 drops of the PC vitamin C serum and pat it all over my face and neck with my hands. My skin feels so soft and looks luminous. I love this product and hope Paula never stops making it!
Very good
By Elle K
This is a nice soothing toner. I use my fingers to put it on instead of a cotton pad because you waste so much if you do it that way. It's thick enough that it's not going to run down your wrist either. Works well on its own or under lotion. It dries quickly so you don't have to wait for that tacky feeling to go away before you put on your serum and moisturizer. I bought it on sale so I can't say I'd buy it at its full price.
EARTH SOURCED Purely Natural Refreshing Toner has a distinctive, liqua-gel formula bursting with antioxidants proven to repair skin and stimulate collagen production. It instantly replenishes, restores, and soothes your skin leaving it silky-smooth with a healthy, youthful glow. This formula is based on a specialized, proprietary technology that truly captures the best of nature fused with science. Because of this technology, this toner stands alone for repairing and rejuvenating skin.

Paula's Choice Skincare At-A-Glance
Paula's Choice Skincare was established in 1995 when best-selling beauty author and consumer advocate Paula Begoun (known as The Cosmetics Cop) decided to develop her own products.
As a natural evolution of Paula's personal mission to help consumers find the best products for their skin, the line has grown into an extensive range of skincare and makeup products that are formulated to meet the needs of almost every skin type and skin concern imaginable.
The formulas contain only ingredients that have substantiated, published research showing they are beneficial and effective. Stable packaging is another feature of the brand, using innovative, opaque, and air-tight or air-restrictive components that keep antioxidants and other light- and air-sensitive ingredients from breaking down. The line is also 100% fragrance-free.
Disclosure: Paula Begoun is the creator of Beautypedia and founder of Paula's Choice Skincare products. Reviewing thousands of skincare and makeup products over the past 30 years, both on this site and in her best-selling books, Paula's mission has always been to help consumers find the best products possible for their skin. The Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains this commitment. In addition, The Beautypedia Team reviews all products using the same rating standards and criteria, whether it is a Paula's Choice product or another brand.
Why are all Paula's Choice Skincare products rated highly? The Paula's Choice Skincare Team would not launch a product unless it was worthy of a high rating from The Beautypedia Team. Paula and The Beautypedia Team were researching and reviewing products long before Paula's Choice Skincare ever existed and consumers were constantly requesting a skincare brand that met all of Beautypedia's criteria. As a result, The Paula's Choice Skincare Team was created and uses the same research and criteria to formulate Paula's Choice products as The Beautypedia Team uses to review products.

By Dayna Martinez, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
In the midst of starting construction on the brand new 1,100-seat Concert Hall, which will open in Spring, 2015, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts is getting ready for a busy summer!
We kick off the summer season with the Flint Hills 2013 International Children's Festival, which begins on May 28th with four days of performances for over 15,000 school children, and then culminates in a fun Family Weekend on June 1st and 2nd. The Festival this year features five international artists:

On Saturday, June 8th, the Ordway is excited to be participating in this year's Northern Spark Festival, which is an all-night festival of art and culture taking place in and around the Union Depot in Lowertown, Saint Paul. We'll be representing by throwing a good, old-fashioned 50's Style Sock Hop, to get ready for Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, which plays at the Ordway June 11-16. For more information about Northern Spark, click here. And, to find out more about Buddy and to purchase tickets, click here.
Starting on June 13th, our very popular Summer Dance series begins. Summer Dance is a free, weekly social dance event, Thursday evenings in June and July. Each week is a different dance and music genre and the evening starts out with a dance lesson taught by professional dance instructors. Then the live, local band takes the stage and folks can dance the night away showing off the skills they learned during the dance lesson. This year, Summer Dance takes place right in the middle of Rice Park! To check out the 2013 Summer Dance lineup, click here.
Finally, single tickets will go on sale for our 2013-14 Season on June 16th. It's a great theatrical season featuring touring Broadway shows such as Miss Saigon and Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Wizard of Oz, plus the Ordway's own Broadway Songbook series. The Target® World Music and Dance Series will bring athletic hip-hop dance from Philadelphia with the company Rennie Harris Puremovement, and beautiful a cappella harmonies from South Africa with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Check out the full 13-14 season here.
Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to keep up on the latest going on at the Ordway!

Tropical Storm Beryl is bearing down on northern Florida and southern Georgia early this morning. The storm made landfall just after midnight EDT near Jacksonville Beach, Fla.
Rain bands and a few gusty thunderstorms are rumbling across the northern part of Florida and southern Georgia at the present time, and the rain will only increase in coverage today.
Along with the rain and gusty winds, many beaches along the coast are being impacted with special restrictions and rough surf. On Saturday, eight individuals were rescued from surf in Talbot Island, Fla. and 48 rip current rescues were reported near Tybee Island, Ga.
Tropical storm conditions will continue to move onshore over northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia today. A few wind gusts to hurricane force will even be possible over parts of this region.
A combination of a minor storm surge and high tide will raise water levels by 1 to 3 feet across portions of South Carolina, Georgia and northern Florida, mainly along and north of the center of circulation.
Dangerous surf conditions along with strong rip currents can be expected along the Southeast coast into early this week. With many people on vacation for the holiday weekend, it is important to keep up-to-date on the latest advisories and restrictions.
As a precaution, the pier at St. Augustine Beach, Fla., is closed and their Memorial Day events have been cancelled.
In Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday's jazz festival and Memorial Day ceremony were cancelled. Workers are clearing tree limbs and debris that could be tossed around in Beryl's high winds.
Additonally, the U.S. Coast Guard raised the port conditions in northeastern Florida, meaning that facilities from Ponce De Leon inlet to New Smyrna beach and Fernandina beach should remove potential flying debris, hazardous materials and oil pollution hazards from dockside areas.
Tropical Depression Eight could become a tropical storm while brushing the North Carolina coast with rough surf, downpours and locally gusty thunderstorms into midweek.
Tropical Depression Nine developed just south of Florida on Sunday and will turn toward the northeastern Gulf Coast of the United States later this week.
Another strong tropical disturbance has moved off the coast of Africa and bears watching for strengthening and impact on the Caribbean and the United States during September.
Two tropical systems, Madeline and Lester, could pose hazards to Hawaii from the middle of the week into Labor Day weekend.
Though the summer season is winding down, forecasters are predicting a warm start to fall across the Northeast — a weather pattern that could spell bad news for fall foliage lovers.
The worst thing that people who live along coastlines can do is not to prepare for tropical storms and hurricanes.

Coastal Steamer San Juan (over 2,000 tons) was rammed off Pigeon Point near Santa Cruz, CA by the oil tanker S.C.T. Doss which was proceeding at "excessive speed in fog without sounding fog signals". 70 passengers and crew of San Juan drowned.

Compton opened for England in nine consecutive Tests and hit back-to-back centuries on the tour of New Zealand. But he was axed after struggling for fluency in the return series against the Black Caps and will not be on duty at Trent Bridge, with Joe Root promoted as Alastair Cook's new partner.
Australia skipper Clarke said: "We haven't bowled to Joe yet but we didn't manage to get Nick out that easily, so I'm happy he's not playing to be honest.
"Nick has showed in the last couple of four-day matches he has a very good defence and I'm surprised he's not in the team for the first Test."
England captain Cook was adamant that Root deserves his selection ahead of Compton in the line-up for the first Test.
"Joe has handled himself in every situation fantastically well," Cook said. "He has managed to change his style to every situation and is a fantastic young player."
Both captains said they knew their starting XIs but did not give any clues.
The pitch is expected to be dry and the weather conditions warm which might give the batsmen an advantage at a ground where swing bowlers usually perform well.
But Cook, leading England for the first time in an Ashes series, played down the significance of winning the toss.
"The toss is important but how you play is more important," he said. "Our group of bowlers have the skills and experience to hold us in good stead in any conditions."
Cook said the England players had been inspired by a weekend spent watching the British and Irish Lions win their rugby test series in Australia and Andy Murray's momentous victory at Wimbledon.
"That was an incredible moment for British sport," Cook said. "A lot of our players are big tennis and rugby fans and it was fantastic watching as genuine sports fans."
Clarke said with a wry smile that he was aware of the recent British sporting success but was confident his inexperienced team were capable of winning back the Ashes.
"Every one of the boys has prepared to the best of their ability," he said. "I've told them to play with freedom, to back their ability and play their natural game.
"Our preparation is done. Now it's about what we do on the field."
Clarke was more than happy to accept his team were underdogs going into the start of the five-match series on Wednesday while Cook was confident his side would handle the pressure of being favourites.
"We have been favourites in other series as well and I think it sits well," Cook told a packed news conference in the pavilion. "But cricket is not played on paper and it is all about delivering on the pitch.
"Australia are a very, very good side. They have some world-class players and I think there is going to be a very good standard of cricket in this series.
"We've always known it's going to be one hell of a battle," said Cook.
Australia's preparations have been far from ideal, with Darren Lehmann brought in as coach to replace the sacked Mickey Arthur just over two weeks ago.
"We come here as underdogs but that won't affect our performances," Clarke said. "Darren and Mickey are two completely different people.
"Personally I have enjoyed talking cricket with 'Boof' (Lehmann) who I was lucky enough to play with. We are all embracing Darren's style now."
Cook said the England players could not wait to begin their defence of the Ashes.
"Everyone is desperately excited to be here today after such a long build-up," he said. "There are a lot of nerves and excitement but it's important not to blow it out of all proportion."

Definition of Barr body in English:
Barr body
A small, densely staining structure in the cell nuclei of females, consisting of a condensed, inactive X chromosome. It is regarded as diagnostic of genetic femaleness.
Example sentences
- In some tissues, the inactive X chromosome can be identified in the nucleus as a Barr body and X inactivation provides an important model for the inheritance of gene expression.
- The formation of Barr bodies is the strategy that humans use for what is called dosage compensation.
- If the Barr bodies of a normal female were missing, she would exhibit Turners Syndrome.
1960s: named after the Canadian anatomist M. L. Barr (1908–95).

Zimmer für Zimmer führt uns der Autor durch Schloss Rentweinsdorf in Unterfranken. Seine Vorfahren ließen es vor rund 300 Jahren auf den Ruinen einer noch viel älteren Wasserburg erbauen. Mit jeder Türe, die er öffnet, drängen stürmisch Geschichten über Dinge und Personen ins Freie, als hätten sie all die Jahre nur darauf gewartet, endlich erzählt zu werden. Hans von Rotenhan tut es mit viel Lust am Fabulieren, mit Sachkunde und trockenem Humor. In den 1950er Jahren ist er im Kreise seiner vier Geschwister in Schloss Rentweinsdorf aufgewachsen. Unverkennbar ist seine Prägung durch diesen Ort, durch seine Familie und seine fränkische Heimat.
Aber seine unbestechliche Beobachtungsgabe und sein Faible für die Wahrheit machen dieses Geschichten-Buch ein gutes Stück auch zum Geschichtsbuch.

Heartwood considers what it means to be human in the Anthropocene—the age of humans. By rapidly reconstituting the atmosphere, oceans, soils, and
the living world, are we cutting and shuffling ourselves and our relationships?
In the face of such destruction, can we still find meaning? Good?
Through evocations of places, creatures, people, and their impermanence, Peter Buckland invites readers to reflect on being in and of this world.

The exhilaration that Pa-mi had felt earlier had dissipated. Something was wrong. Something indefinable; it gnawed at his bowels. There was a premonition of—bad fortune—no, danger. Yes, that's what it was: Danger! At that moment, he felt his foot touch a soft spot in the narrow path, and before he could step back onto firm ground he was slipping on his back down the steep rock-covered slope.
Shaman Pa-mi is one of the Kopu, a small tribe nestled in the Yunnan mountains. His people face the threat of losing their traditions when an American missionary family comes to Hsinshao; already the village is divided between those who listen to them and those, like him, who reject them. When Pa-mi plans to ambush a Chinese caravan, he injures himself badly. It will take friendship, communication, and understanding across cultural boundaries for the Kopu and the Americans to save him, and ultimately, when the Communists learn of the missionaries' presence in Hsinshao, in return to save the entire family.
Filled with emotion, grace, and the urgency of events unfolding as vividly now as they had in the past, Hatton brings to life an action-packed true story and gives voice to a people otherwise overlooked in history and literature.
At the age of two years, Howard Hatton went with his missionary parents and siblings to live in a small tribal village high up in the mountains of Yunnan Province in southwest China. The village of Hsinshao, inhabited by the Kopu tribe, was little Howie's Shangri-La for four wonderful years. But in 1934, Mao Tse Tung's army marched north of the village, and a group of Communist soldiers was sent to capture them.
Herein lies his story.

In the summer of 1989, a 21-year-old student from Cornell University set off to Germany to research the idea of the German Kulturnation, looking at the concept of culture on both sides of the Wall. What she did not know when she set out was that she would soon find herself in the middle of a revolution: a mixture of mass exodus and the masses taking to the streets. While the focus of this book, which is based on her honor's thesis written in 1989-1990, was the concept of culture, she also captured the excitement and confusion of the months surrounding the collapse of East Germany and the rapid reunification of the two German states.
This unique perspective of a young American studying and working in both East and West Germany provides an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the transformation of a nation.

Ronald A. Smith, a well-known sport historian and emeritus professor at Penn State University, has published several books in sport history, including an edited diary belonging to the subject of these love letters. "Big-Time Football at Harvard, 1905: The Diary of Coach Bill Reid" chronicles the most important year in college football, when the crisis in brutality led to the creation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the legalization of the forward pass. Bill Reid had another side to his life, however—a passionate one in which he and his girlfriend, fiancé, and wife exchanged intimate love letters for well over a decade.
The passionate nature of Bill and Christine's letters during the late Victorian period and early twentieth century are rare and distinguish them from other collections. Bill and Christine wrote intimate love letters when they first met, through their engagement and a lengthy separation while Christine took an eight-month voyage with her parents to Europe, and especially after their marriage and the birth of their first three children. The explicit love letters of upper-middle and upper class individuals are an exceptional find, and they broach issues between couples that are almost universal, often appearing timeless. The love letters of Bill and Christine not only illuminate aspects of life in the early twentieth century, but also they make us reflect on our own lives.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (April 14, 2014) -- Led by Honolulu District Commander, Lt. Col. Thomas D. Asbery, over 30 District teammates and their friends and partners hiked to Makapu'u Lighthouse at sunrise on April 14 to celebrate the 109th anniversary of the District's founding.
Former Pacific Ocean Commander Retired Army Col. Edward Kertis and former Honolulu District FEST-A Team Member Bill Hollingsworth also joined the hike to the lighthouse as well as District Counsel Robyn Au. In addition, Capt. Jerrauld S. Ma and Deputy District Commander MAJ Brennan V. Wallace also made the hike.
Lt. Col. Asbery unveiled the newly minted Honolulu District coin at the lighthouse. The coin is rich in symbolism and a proud display of military culture and tradition. Its oval shape resembles a vintage employees' badge which was once worn by all District personnel.
The Corps' history in Hawaii and the Pacific began in 1905 when Lt. John Slattery became the District's first commander. His original mission was to construct lighthouses for navigation, like Makapu'u.
Makapu'u Lighthouse was built by the Corps in 1909 on a 600-foot sea cliff overlooking Makapu'u Beach in southeast Oahu. Makapu'u Point is an important location passed by all ships moving between Honolulu and the U.S. Mainland.
The critical need for this light was demonstrated in August 1906 when the 27,000-ton S.S. Manchuria ran up on a reef off the point. Congress had already appropriated $60,000 for the light on October 1, 1909.
The lens for this light was one of the wonders of the Pacific. Press clips of the time noted that the lens, which had been exhibited at the Jamestown Exposition, was one of the most expensive in the world.
The lighthouse is 46-feet-tall (14 meters) and was fully automated in 1974. It is still an active U.S. Coast Guard navigation aid in use today.
As "America's Engineers in the Pacific," the District's civil works, military construction and environmental missions evolved over time -- in periods of peace and war -- for over 100 years.
Today, the Honolulu District is a full-service District, providing a wide range of timely, effective, innovative solutions to meet our customers' engineering, construction and environmental needs.

3 injured in Sycamore Street crash
Police were called to 1301 Sycamore St. at 1:15 a.m. for a report of a crash.
They found 22-year-old Aaron Chambers suffering from minor injuries. He was traveling westbound in a Ford Taurus. The car on Sycamore was headed northbound, and struck a Honda Accord occupied by 22-year-old Emily Guinta and 22-year-old Karina Sibata, police said.
Guinta and Sibata suffered injuries and were transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Sibata suffered serious injuries in the crash. Chambers was not wearing a seat belt, police said. He suffered minor injuries and was transported to Christ Hospital. Police are unsure if Guinta and Sibata were wearing seat belts.
Investigators said speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this crash.
The Cincinnati Police Traffic Unit is asking for any witnesses to the crash to contact the Traffic Unit at 513-352-2514.

INTERPOL tools
At INTERPOL, we work to enable police and other law enforcement agencies to cooperate on a global basis.
We offer a number of technical tools to help the global law enforcement community share intelligence and coordinate action.
INTERPOL tools
The following tools are accessible to authorized users of I-24/7, INTERPOL's secure global police communications system:
- The Human Smuggling and Trafficking (HST) message provides a standardized format for reporting cases of trafficking between member countries and to INTERPOL's database.
- Technical solutions known as MIND/FIND enable frontline law enforcement agencies (border police, immigration) to run checks against INTERPOL's database of stolen and lost travel documents and receive an instant response.
- The International Contact Directory for People Smuggling Issues contains contact details for individuals responsible for people smuggling and illegal migration issues within INTERPOL National Central Bureaus around the world.
- INTERPOL's Notices and Diffusions system enables global cooperation between its member countries in tracking criminals and suspects, as well as locating missing persons or collecting information. Especially relevant is the Green Notice – through which countries can warn other member states if a known child-sex offender is travelling to their territory or region.

Over thirty thousand copies sold worldwide, translated into Japanese, Chinese, Turkish and French. This foreword to this new 2013 eBook edition gives the full background to Wild's inadvertent creation of the kopi luwak industry in 1991, his involvement in the BBC undercover investigation into the trade, and the 'Kopi Luwak: Cut the Crap!' he has founded to get it banned.
'...with a dry wit and an admirable muckraking spirit, Wild more than does justice to a story rife with injustices.' Newsday.
'He writes with (a) wry touch that makes his book a pleasure.' Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
'Antony Wild's 'Coffee' is as rich and complex as the brew itself.' Carlo Wolff, Boston Globe
'....this polemical, grandiose, yet thoroughly entertaining book...' Mother Jones
'...Coffee is an elegantly written, even witty book, so wide in scope, so rich in detail, so thought-provoking in the subtle way that it develops its central thesis, that it is a challenge to do justice to it.' Joanna Blythman, The Sunday Herald
'...full of fascinating anecdotal detail about our favourite stimulant.' The Ecologist
'...a strong espresso of a thoroughly-researched, hugely informative history of the dark side of coffee...' Geographical
'This masterful and exhaustive work is about much more than history. We're also treated to eye-opening lessons in economics, ethics, culture and science...' Jennifer Cunningham, The Herald
Arguably the most valuable legally traded commodity after oil, coffee's dark five-hundred-year history links alchemy and anthropology, poetry and politics, and science and slavery. Revolutions have been hatched in coffee houses, secret societies and commercial alliances formed, and politics and art endlessly debated.
With over a hundred million people looking to it for their livelihood, the coffee industry is now the world's largest and the financial lifeblood of many third-world countries. But with world prices notoriously volatile, the future is always uncertain. In this thought-provoking exposé, Antony Wild, coffee trader, novelist and historian, explores coffee's dismal colonial past and its perilous corporate present, revealing the shocking exploitation as the heart of the industry.

I received 1 item and it was NOT the one I ordered so I immediately contacted Sony rewards. I was assured by the representative that they would do an overnight for the correct item through Fedex and at the same time Fedex would pickup the wrong item. I stayed home the next day and noone came from Fedex. When I called Sony I was told that they dont know anything about it and until they receive the wrong item back they cant ship the right one. Fedex finally came after a week and only when I kept calling Sony since noone actually placed an order with Fedex to do a pickup.
It has now been 3 weeks since Sony received the WRONG item back and they have not shipped anything to me. I called them a few days ago and the representative could not tell me when my order of the 3 items will come since the one they made a mistake on has not even een shipped. The representative told me that they received the wrong item back and dont know when they will ship the correct one to me. They also dont know where the other 2 items are.
Sony rewards has taken the points away and although they promised last month in their advertisement to deliver by Christmas this is False Advertisement and Theft of points. The points are like cash and these points can only be used to redeem items listed in the Sony Rewards catalogue. Sony has not given me what I redeemed my points for and I am out of the points and dont have any of the 3 items.
Sony feels that they can get away with this because these items were not technically purchased, if this is the service I would receive through credit card purchase by now my credit card compnay would be involved. But, since this is only a points redemption Sony feels that they can act unprofessionally and unethically by taking my points away and not providing me with any items.
I had contacted CapitolOne credit card and they stated they cannot help me. I keep calling Sony and neither the customer support or the managers are able to assist me.

5/2/2013 (3 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
"Blachman," named after its host Thomas Blachman is a Danish chat show - with a difference. The premise is simplicity in itself. A procession of women walks on in bathrobes and then stands in front of two men, one of whom is Blachman. The men, seated on an empty set with one harsh light, Blachman and his guest critique the women's bodies. Not surprisingly, the show has been branded humiliating and sexist by viewers.
"Blachman," named after its host Thomas Blachman (pictured) is a Danish chat show that features the host and another male guest critiquing the naked bodies of women.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Blachman, who is a Danish X-Factor judge, defended his concept, insisting he was actually doing women a favor as the "female body thirsts for the words of a man."
Declaring "Blachman" as the work of a genius, he argues that he has a higher objective of "discussing the aesthetics of a female body without allowing the conversation to become pornographic or politically correct.
"I told them the entire idea of the show is to let men talk about the bodies of naked women while the woman is standing right in front of them. The female body thirsts for words. The words of a man. And they went for it."
Blachman maintains that he wants to "revise women's views of men's views of women."
"Blachman" received massive media attention and has been widely criticized as being both sexist and humiliating for women. "The programs so-called intention of breaking down taboos or challenging stereotypes is rubbish<" Author Knud Romer declared. "It's more like a claustrophobic strip club which only serves to cement classic concepts of male dominance. Basically, things like this should have been able consigned to the scrap heap of history years ago."
Blogger Lotte Hansen describes the show as "an unsuccessful attempt to intellectualize the Roskilde County Show - the only difference being that the young fillies on view in Roskilde have been replaced by naked women." She's demanding a cancellation of the show "before this goes any further."
Martin Lyngbo of the Mungo Park Theater said Bachman's show "institutionalizes already run-of-the-mill male chauvinistic thinking."
Blachman has retreated to his home in New York, waving away all the condemnation. "Ungratefulness is the only thing that can really wear down the few geniuses who reside in our country. Remember, I am giving you something that you have never seen before. Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
Producer Sofia Fromberg says that the show must go on and does not think that the TV critics should have the final say about what is good for men and women.
"We have a program that reveals what men think about the female body. Quite honestly, what is wrong with that?"

Hirose has developed a USB 3.0 connector that significantly increases data transmission speeds from those of a USB 2.0 connector.
Designated the ZX360 Series, these B-type connectors allow transmissions up to 5 Gb/s, almost 10 times faster than USB 2.0 connectors. The higher speed enables seamless, uncompressed transmission of high-speed data such as high definition (HD) moving pictures, and is ideal for portable audio, cell phones, smart phones, cameras, mass storage devices and notebook computers.
"The need for high speed transmission is rising. While transmission data is increasing, there is still a lag in the time it takes to transmit data between devices and networks," said Rick van Weezel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Hirose Electric USA. "The new USB 3.0 standard makes transmission significantly faster, reducing the time to download an HD movie from more than nine hours with USB 1.0 and 13.9 minutes with USB 2.0 to 70 seconds with USB 3.0. We've incorporated this growing standard into a highly developed I/F connector that reflects our abundant design experience and technology capabilities."

President Obama's State of the Union speech reveals once again that president is a democratic reformer (on domestic issues) in the mold of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson.
And the fact that the president has a disposition toward reform is of great significance - not only to the millions who are struggling to mitigate the worst effects of 30 years of right-wing extremism and capitalist globalization, but also to people who desire social change of a radical nature.
Here's why.
First of all, we are not in a revolutionary period. Despite the severity of our economic crisis and the urgency of socialism, the subjective conditions don't yet exist for a revolutionary transformation of our society to put people before profits. What do I mean by that? It's true that capitalism doesn't enjoy the same support as it did in the decades following World War II, and the resistance to its destructive effects is growing. But the array of social forces struggling against three decades of right-wing domination and neoliberal globalization are not of sufficient breadth, depth, unity or inclination to challenge capitalist class rule. I wish that were not the case, but it is.
Contrary to what some on the left think, the starting point of transformative politics isn't its political desires and wish list, but a sober and concrete assessment of the balance of class and social forces on the ground - not least of which is the political consciousness of the majority of working-class people and what they are ready to do. And by this measure, socialist transformation is not on the agenda in the near and medium term. The American people, much like the president, are - to paraphrase Billy Joel - in a reform state of mind. They don't yet have the desire or the wherewithal to bring down the curtains on U.S. capitalism.
Second, the bottom-up version of history, as exemplified by Howard Zinn, among others, contains an absolutely crucial insight - the dynamic role of masses of people in driving the process of social change. But it suffers from simplicity too. In every period of far-reaching social change in the 20th century, a broad mass upsurge has combined with reforming elements in elite circles to effect that change.
Indeed, the reforming impulse of Roosevelt and Johnson - shaped by many factors, including but not exclusively by the mass movements of their era - helped to create a terrain on which millions could intervene and expand the boundaries of freedom. Similarly, Obama's reforming inclinations open up space for the broader movement to fight and win victories today - not to mention lay the necessary groundwork (ideologically, politically, and organizationally) for radical change in the future.
Of course, this president, just as Roosevelt and Johnson did, will surely attempt to limit the sweep and depth of the reform process. But to turn that into a rationale not to join him on issues of mutual concern such as jobs, immigration, climate change, gun violence, taxing the rich, cutting the military budget and nuclear stockpile and so on, is a recipe for the left's political marginalization.
Moreover, it forgets that the outcome of these struggles will depend on two things. One is the relative strength of the opposing sides - the Obama-led coalition for reforms vs. the Republican right and its corporate supporters. But the other is the ability of the organized people's movement to put its political imprint on the reform process within the broader coalition that they are a part, while at the same time, (and this is where politics becomes an art) maintaining the coalition's broad unity against the main obstacles to social progress - again the Republican right and its corporate supporters.
Coalition politics and reform struggles are anything but pure; they are, by nature, a polyglot; an uneasy amalgamation of disparate forces. Still they are the ground - and the only ground - out of which change, including radical and socialist change, will come.
