my DD is 9 months old now almost 10 and we still cant sleep through the night... any suggestions??
co-sleep so you can nurse her without waking up too much. that or you can try to "sleep train" her which i personally am not a fan of. there are several techniques most of which involve letting her cry for intervals of time.
but it is perfectly normal to not be sttn yet at this age - i have come to terms with the fact that my daughter may keep waking up for as long as she is still breastfeeding and until all her teeth come in. really, co-sleeping is the only way to keep my sanity.

with tongue tie - hardest thing i've ever done, and the most rewarding. Also , and
My daughter was born on the 16th of October last year. She sleeps with me, and feeds loads in the night. My son breast fed till he was 3 1/2, and also shared my bed. He also fed frequently in the night. I don't think I would have survived if I hadn't bed shared, but as it is I can feed, and we both drift back to sleep.
I think a lot of people say their baby sleeps through as they think that is what you should say, but when I used to take my son to his Steiner playgroup most of the muss admited their children didn't sleep through, and that most of them also bed shared.
In so many societies it is the 'norm' to put a baby in a crib as soon as they're born after being inside us for 9 months. And we are expected to accept the 'walking the boards' as part of having a baby. Yet so many other societies have always slept with their children, and you don't hear them complaining of sleep deprivation in the same way. Maybe our western approach needs looking at more than our babies sleeping habits. Just a thought .
All that said, however you decide to continue with your baby I wish you all the luck, and remember they aren't small for long x
I hear ya... I amin the same boat. Daughter won't go more than two hours at night without feeding. It's really tough sometimes as I also have a two year old at home with me all day without help. She does sleepmwith me which does save me...as sometimes can't remember how many tims I fed her but lately I have been tracking the times just to see if she is on a schedule that I don't know about. I don't want to try crying it out but would love some advice on how tomget maybe four hours... Atnthis age son was sleeping six hours but he was forumula fed...he never latched on horn early. Etc..

Can't believe I have made it 11 1/2 months of nursing!!
how many times a night is your dd waking up? i moved my ds into his own room at 5 months. (we never co slept but he slept ina bassinet next to me) he was waking up every 2-3 hours for a while and i needed to make a change. if he woke up before 6 hours i would have my husband give him a bottle of expressed milk (about 4 oz). this really helped me (b/c i was able to get about 4 hours of straight sleep) and after about one week of this he stopped waking up every 2-3 hours. the milk was also cold or room temp which i don't think he loved, but he accepted it. now he wakes up usually once a night which works okay for me.
good luck.

I think all babies are different and sleep through the night when they are ready. My daughter will not sleep through the night unless she is in her own room (she is 9 1/2 months old). I do not know if we conditioned her to be that way because having her in our room did not work for us, or if that is just her temperament. I would maybe try switching whatever you are doing, if you have her in your room maybe try her in her room, or move her into your room if she normally sleeps alone. We recently had our baby in our room for a week because of out of town company, for us it was awful, she went from sleeping 12-14 hours at night without a peep to waking up every 45 minutes - 2 hours. I gained a whole new respect for people whose babies still wake at night. Good luck! I hope you get some rest soon.
But it's hard to remember that when you put the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard, or rinse your contacts in facial toner, or any of the other crazy things that happen when we're drop dead tired. If you haven't read "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" by Elizabeth Pantley, I would recommend starting there for some gentle ways to help your baby learn to go to sleep and stay asleep. Different people have differing levels of success using the ideas in the book, but the author presents it in a "take it or leave it" fashion. That is, there are a lot of ideas and you are free to try the ones that work with you and your lifestyle. There is no prescription for letting your child cry for increasing lengths of time, and it is very breastfeeding and co-sleeping friendly.

sorry it has taken me so long to write back!
See, we have no issue with her falling asleep in her own crib at night, matter of fact shes a champ when it comes to going to bed the first time! we take a bath, breast feed to top her off, then i put her down in her crib without a fight and she is happy to fall asleep! its just that she still wakes up every couple of hours or so and needs to be comforted by breast feeding, she doesnt even really drink. takes a few sips and then falls back asleep but as soon as i try to move her its meltdown central.
we used to cosleep, but i guess maybe its because i have transitioned to putting her down in her own crib to sleep at night?
or maybe i am being inconsistent.
i envy those mothers who tell me that their babies are sleeping through the whole night! i wish that were the case for me.
i know that cosleeping was the easiest solution but i can not do that anymore, she is so active when she wakes she'll crawl right off the side of the bed, even when theres bumpers, there are still gaps and she finds them and tumbles out, so i cannot sleep with the worry of her waking up and crawling straight off the edge of the bed!
i just wish i knew how to get her to calm herself after she has put herself to sleep in the crib!!
You can try bringing her back to the bed. And how we deal with the cosleeping crawling baby is that the adults sleep on the outside and the baby sleeps on the inside. And somehow, I always wake up when baby tries to crawl over ME.
You might find that getting up to go pat and talk to her, but not picking her up might work? That's never worked for us -- mine always want to be picked up -- but some moms have success with that.
To me it sounds normal. The waking every few hours is normal. One of mine would wake at least -- at least -- NINE times a night for at least a year.

Always babywearing, cosleeping and cloth diapering. Living with oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Ask me about cloth diapering and sewing your own diapers!
I agree with Susan -- your baby still needs you at night, and that's fine. We stopped cosleeping too around this time and like your LO, going down was a breeze and he still woke a couple of nights to nurse. I ended up just setting myself up a bed on the floor of his room so that I didn't have to sit up during those times, we just lay down on the floor together until he fell back asleep. It's really not entirely common for a baby toSTTN before one or so -- sounds exhausting, I know -- but unless you're going to do some crazy sleep training like CIO (which is sort of really mean IMHO), you just gotta let your baby tell you what she needs. Even if it's not tons of milk, she still needs her Mama's comfort in the middle of the night. My guy didn't start STTN consistently until around 15 months. And even now occasionally will wake to nurse at 21 months!
After your baby's over a year, there are gentler ways to night wean - i'm not familiar with them because i never bothered, but maybe some Mama's here will chime in. I know it's exhausting, but just hang in there. I know it's because i'm no longer sleep deprived that i say this, but I miss those night time snuggles with my monkey. The time really does go quickly.

Walter Matsuoka hauled in a trunk load of beer, and liquor bottles to the Reynold's Recycling Center on Puuhale Road.
He doesn't like the idea that the added cost of recycling glass will mean he will pay more at the checkout line.
"I really don't want to, but let's face it. We live on an island, so what are you going to do with it?"
The fee for glass containers is five cents for standard beverage bottles but only a penny and a half for everything else.
Right now, the fee is the same for small baby food jars or big heavy liquor bottles.
What's being proposed is to switch to a graduated fee to have the product pay for its own disposal.
"The problem is larger glass bottles are not being recycled or recyclers are no longer willing to accept to accept them because they are too expensive to send back to the mainland or other areas for recycling," said Robert Harris of the Sierra Club.
The added fee would help the counties recycling program.
Only a small amount of the glass that is collected is recycled and reused locally.
The bill requires importers to pay it up front--but chances are those costs will be passed on to consumers.
The Retail Association says it will mean an added three cents more for a jar of baby food.
Under the bill, you can probably expect to pay up to six cents more for larger hard liquor bottles.
The Food Industry Association and liquor companies oppose the move.
Others have also raised questions about how the state is managing the recycling program. A legislative audit uncovered weaknesses in the system and called for better oversight.
The Senate bill survived the first crossover, and the House Environmental Protection committee and now heads to the House Finance committee.
It's not clear at this point if the legislation will survive that hurdle.
A companion house bill died earlier this session.

Jonathan Goldberg says the adjustments he received from chiropractor Lawrence Stern relieved agonizing back pain he suffered after lifting an air conditioner. And he says he avoided back surgery one doctor told him he might need.
"I haven't had even the smallest recurrence of anything other than stiffness for over eight years now," said Goldberg.
Consumer Reports' survey of its readers found hands-on treatments such as chiropractic and deep-tissue massage helped relieve back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis. And in the case of back pain, chiropractic care outperformed prescription medicine.
"Sixty-five percent of those surveyed using chiropractic treatments for back pain said they helped a lot. Only 53 percent using prescription medications found them as helpful," says Consumer Reports.
Half of those who used deep-tissue massage or yoga found they helped a lot for osteoarthritis. The survey results indicated that both were almost on par with prescription medication. But in the Consumer Reports National Research Center survey, alternative treatments were not found to be as helpful with many other medical conditions.
Take depression. Yoga or meditation helped about 35 percent. In contrast, 70 percent of those using prescription medication found it to be very helpful. And as for colds, flu, and allergies? Prescription meds were deemed much more helpful than nutritional supplements like vitamin C. So alternative treatment in some cases may help, but Consumer Reports advises checking with your doctor first.

Great effort from our Knicks.
I'm a fan of the Hornets too since their Charlotte days (Muggsy is also my favorite player of all-time). I follow them and, I have no idea what's going on with Paul lately. If I didn't see him before and heard he's great I'd think he's average. Sad. Whether he continues to play like this or not when he's a free agent, the Knicks should not go after him. Not just because I'd like him to stay on the Hornets, but we REALLY should go after a center the most. A back-up PG would make it even better for us. Stoudemire's knees aren't keeping him from being explosive, but he still should get rest. Chris Paul's knee might be in a worse situation. We don't want two superstars with big knee problems in the past. Shouldn't try to give him that kind of money unless he heals that much or changes up his game.
I like the chants from the Garden lately. The Roger Mason one is funny haha.
I loved the rebounding tonight. Effort isn't always gonna get you the rebound, but it drastically improves your chances.

I work in a very supportive evironment, close friends. I am to return Nov 13. I work essentially as an intake worker for a doctor. they are on pins and needles about whether I'll be ocming back at all!
Yonah is 7 weeks old. I am really nervous for going back.
I am really concerned about maintaining good care of Yonah, as well as doing adequate work. There is someone who can tend to Yonah if he is fussy and would like attention. But when it comes to feeding, I want to not neglect him in any way.
My schedule of concern is as such:
Monday 9-5
Thursday 1-7pm.
If I work with him say on the Monday but leave him with DH on the Thursday, how much milk should I pump? And when should I pump it?
As well, should I pump some for the Monday in case I am really unable to get away from work and the woman I work with can give to him? If so how much and when? Yonah already accepts a bottle one time an evening, so I know he'll take a bottle ok.

NASA: Hotter Summers Since 1980 Caused by Global Warming
Tiffany Kaiser
August 7, 2012 1:21 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The past 30 years has seen more "hot" (orange), "very hot" (red) and "extremely hot" (brown) summers, compared to a base period defined in this study from 1951 to 1980
(Source: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio)
Hotter summers have become the norm from 1980 to present compared to 1951 to 1980 (the base period)
NASA researchers have claimed to find new evidence for everyone's favorite topic:
global warming
James Hansen, study leader from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), as well as GISS researchers Makiko Sato and Reto Ruedy, have concluded that summer heat waves (mainly in the U.S. Midwest) have become the norm over the last 30 years compared to a base period 30 years before 1980 -- and it's because of global warming.
Their study works like this: the team collected mean summer temperatures from 1951 to 1980. This was considered the base period for the study. They then looked at the surface temperature data from the last 30 years (1980 until now) to determine whether
extreme heat events
were increasing.
From there, the team wanted to see how much heating and cooling occurred in both time periods. To do this, they used a bell curve, which is a common tool that places the middle ground at the top of the bell (for instance, if this were a grading curve, a "C" would be at the top while the next tier down on each side would be a "B" and a "D," and the bottom of the bell would be an "A" and an "F). In this case, the top of the bell would be mean temperature, the next tier down would be "cold" on one side and "hot" on the other, then "very cold" and "extremely cold" on one side moving down while "very hot" and "extremely hot" are moving down the bell on the other side.
Researchers then applied mean temperatures from 1980 until present, and found that 1980s, 1990s and 2000s fell more to the hot side than cold. The curve widened and flattened as well, which means there was a broader range of variability. This is important because Hansen once predicted that global warming's connection to extreme events would become more apparent in the decades from 1980 to present, but natural variability can play a role too and actually mask the trend. It was important to distinguish the two.
This wider curve created the new "extremely hot" category, which was barely there in the base period. However, hot has become considered normal in the last 30 years. To be more specific, 75 percent of land area on Earth had "hot" summers in the last decade alone, where only 33 percent had "hot" summers from 1951 to 1980 total.
According to the researchers, an "extremely hot" summer is considered a mean summer temperature that is experienced by less than one percent of Earth's land area during the base period. But since 2006 alone, approximately 10 percent of land area across the Northern Hemisphere had a summer like this.
"This summer, people are seeing extreme heat and agricultural impacts," said Hansen. "We're asserting that this is casually
connected to global warming
, and in this paper, we present the scientific evidence for that."
The study noted "extremely hot" summers in other areas besides just the U.S. Midwest, like Texas, Mexico and Oklahoma in 2011 and Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Middle East in 2010.
This study was published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Science Daily

ŌĆ£Understanding our Past, Shaping our FutureŌĆØ is a series of panels, each detailing a different topic relating to the Cherokee people, be it European influences, tribal games or the future of the Eastern Band.
ŌĆ£We want to honor that culture and understand it,ŌĆØ said Anna Fariello, a research associate professor with Western Carolina UniversityŌĆÖs Hunter Library who worked on the exhibit.
People can not only read the panels of information, they can also take advantage of the QR code technology incorporated into the exhibit.
QR codes, similar to bar codes on store-bought goods, can be scanned. People must simply have a smart phone and download a QR code scanner application. The codes, when scanned, take the user to a website link where they can listen to someone tell stories about the Cherokee and even speak the native language, making it a more dimensional exhibit.
ŌĆ£We started out with more of a historic approach,ŌĆØ Fariello said. Then ŌĆ£we realized that maybe we can play with the language a bit.ŌĆØ
As for what to tackle in the CherokeeŌĆÖs vast history, the group considered broad but important topics ŌĆö such as family values and identity ŌĆö and from there decided what specifically to include.
ŌĆ£We tried to cover all our bases,ŌĆØ Fariello said.
The exhibit is not meant to tell the entire story of the Eastern Band. Many more panels would be needed for that. It is simply meant to pique peopleŌĆÖs interest so they are inspired to learn more.
Corrine Glesne, who was hired to evaluate the exhibit, said the process was a learning experience for her.
ŌĆ£I knew a lot about the arts and crafts, but I donŌĆÖt think I fully understand the three bands,ŌĆØ Glesne said. ŌĆ£I had heard the word Qualla, but I really didnŌĆÖt know what it was.ŌĆØ
While the exhibit is geared mostly toward people who arenŌĆÖt Cherokee, Glesne wants both Cherokee and non-Cherokee to take something away from it.
ŌĆ£I hope for appreciation ŌĆö appreciation for the richness, the wisdom, the heritage,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£For the Cherokee, I wish pride.ŌĆØ
WCUŌĆÖs Cherokee Language Program Coordinator Tom Belt said he also wants the exhibit to create more appreciation for different cultures.
ŌĆ£We hope that this will create a venue of better understanding cross culturally,ŌĆØ Belt said.
Being an enrolled member of the Eastern Band and Cherokee language teacher, Belt knew many of the stories and history of his own people, but the project did not leave him untouched. A particular moment that stood out amid their information gathering process was a discussion among native Cherokee speakers about a simple picture of the Great Smoky Mountains.
ŌĆ£The way these speakers talked about the mountains had not changed in 1,000 years,ŌĆØ Belt said. ŌĆ£They saw in that picture a great abundance ŌĆö of food, of medicine. They saw in there a gift that has to be taken care of.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Understanding our Past, Shaping our FutureŌĆØ is the culmination of a two-year partnership between Cherokee Central Schools, Southwestern Community College, and WCUŌĆÖs Cherokee Center and Cherokee Language Program. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is sponsoring the exhibit.
See the exhibit
ŌĆ£Understanding our Past, Shaping our FutureŌĆØ is on display in the lobby of Southwestern Community CollegeŌĆÖs Balsam Building in Sylva until Sept. 17. It will then move to the Health and Human Sciences building at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee on Sept. 19 and remain there until October.
After spending October at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center in Asheville, the exhibit will make a final stop at the Cherokee Central Schools Cultural Arts Center on the Qualla Boundary for the month of November.

Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
There are people gathering here in the World Cafe community from literally all over the world, and it is so exciting!!! I really want to meet everyone, and I know I'm not alone. Would you please tell us a little about yourself here, just as an introduction, so we can start to learn about each other? Where do you live? How did you learn about the World Cafe? What are your interests and passions?
NOTE: The convention on this part of the site is that the responses are in chronological order, so you have to click forward to the last page (at the bottom of this page) to see the latest introductions.

Hi everyone,
I am from Trinidad and currently living in Nottingham, UK pursuing an MSc. in Management Psychology. One of my professors introduced me to the World Cafe website through a workshop we had. I love the entire concept of the cafe because I truly believe that amazing things can happen through effective communication and collaboration. For my thesis, I want to investigate the knowledge creation and transfer in organisations so I'm interested in learning more about the World Cafe Model.
I really like having new experiences, would like to do a whole lot more travelling and baking is one of my hobbies (haven't done much in a while though). I am passionate about people discovering and functioning in their strengths and also having an enjoyable and balanced life.
Hi Lavonne,
Welcome to the World Cafe community! You can find more people from England (or the Caribbean) here in the on-line community by using the "advanced search" function.....and also join various of the groups that you are interested in.
I'd love to hear more about any experiments you do with the World Cafe as you learn more about it's use. Look in the Resources section of the website for things that can support your learning and hosting.
Warm regards,
Hi Everyone!
I'm originally from Rio de Janeiro, but I live in Sydney, Australia - two very beautiful cities! I started my PhD last semester so I'm extremely busy right now.
Look forward to participating in this wonderful community.
Kind Regards,
Wonderful to have you with us! How did you learn about the World Cafe. We were in Brazil for a month collaborating with World Cafe stewards there....great visit.
Con carinho,
Hi Juanita!
I've just seen your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Brazil - no doubts it is a very interesting country! I came across the World Cafe by chance while researching about 'networked learning'. This is a friendly network and I wish I had more time to interact... I'm studying full time and working part time. Additionally, I'm (again) struggling with my English after spending many years back in Brazil. Anyway, obrigada (thank you) for welcoming me and I look forward to keeping in touch.
Hello everyone...glad to be a new member of this community!
I live in Eastern Kansas in the home of the Jayhawks, along with my husband and three young sons who are 10, 7 and 4 years old. I am a social worker by training and have spent the last 12 years working in various ways in the area of health policy and advocacy. I was the ED of a statewide oral health coalition for 5 years where we advocated for access to oral health care, especially for vulnerable populations. While I was there, I had the privilege to be part of starting the Dental Champions Leadership Program, which was an effort to create a statewide network of trained oral health champions. From there I went to a health conversion foundation to start a public policy program, and then decided to strike out on my own.
I started an independent leadership strategy development and coaching firm in 2010 called Arnavon Strategies, LLC. The decision driven by a need to use my skills in a little bit different way. This move has allowed me to utilize all my experiences and what I believe to be my strengths to partner with individuals, communities and organizations to build their capacity to make progress on issues that matter.
I coach individuals and teams; facilitate processes, especially those that bring together all kinds of stakeholders to work in collaborative efforts; and offer leadership training that challenges people to think more adaptively. I have been fortunate to work closely with the Kansas Leadership Center as a member of their Civic Leadership Coach Team, and I am also a part-time instructor with the University of Kansas Public Management Center.
I am very excited about learning more about World Cafe and the ways it might positively impact the work that I do with communities and organizations. Conversations, connecting, building networks and synergies really is an exciting place to start in the difficult work of making our communities, our states, our nation and our world a healthier place for all.
Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
A Canadian living in the beautiful community of Caledon Ontario. Many years experience as an executive and governor in the not-for-profit and public sectors. I now consult, focusing on system leadership, strategy and governance (http://www.governtolead.ca). I also teach, advise and volunteer in a number of community settings. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I might be of assistance to you.
Hi Carlos,
Great to have you with us. You may want to look through the groups to see which might interest you. Browse through the storynet section also to learn more about what's happening and how people are using the world cafe. You might also find our book, The World Cafe: Shaping our Futures Through Conversations that Matter, useful as well.
With warm regards,
Hi Everyone!
I'm a Change Consultant based in rural England. I've experienced World Cafe in a number of small conferences / unconferences and have started to use it in my work with clients.
Looking forward to sharing our World Cafe experiences!
This is Michael. I live in Kensington, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC, and I've lived in this area for the last 12 years. I moved here from South Africa, where I lived for many years, and did my studies and first decade of work experience.
I have been a facilitator and consultant with groups for over 20 years, and was introduced to the World Cafe about 10 years ago. I have used the method in some form a number of times, and I am now taking the time to become more deliberate in my practice of World Cafes.
I look forward to sharing and learning with others in this space!
Before the world cafe, things that used to happen over a cup of coffee were silly.
Hi. I'm Macdara MacColl. I'm a newly-minted marriage and family therapist (having graduated last night). I work at a youth and family services agency in Connecticut, United States, and in addition to my therapeutic work, I am charged with creating our programming. I am hoping to use World Cafe events to encourage the community to come together and discuss issues of importance to them, such as bullying in our schools and substance abuse among children. A neighboring town hosted a World Cafe event, and that is how I heard about the organization.
Prior to going back to school for my MFT degree, I worked in publishing, both traditional and online. I spent four wonderful years at an Internet start-up called iVillage, where I had the privelege of building their online communities. The experience was exhilarating because we were able to create spaces where people were experiencing life-changing connections and conversations online. Although this may seem passe and obvious now, in 1991 it felt revolutionary and exciting. It's lovely to be back in an online community (despite my early online community-building creds, I feel little draw to Twitter or Facebook).
I hope to learn more about creating these events. I would like to create parent/child World Cafe events, so would be interested in hearing from others who have tried that. I was glad to read the introduction of a teacher using World Cafe with 8th graders. Our agency has therapists in all the schools in our town, and I would like to try this style of communication/collaboration with children as well.
That's all for now...

{{Living_conditions_and_volunteer_lifestyles_by_country}}

 ===Communications ===

 People in Namibia communicate through a variety of means, including mail (called "post"), fax, e-mail, telephone or cellphone, and radio.

 ===Mail ===

 The postal system is reliable, but service to the more remote communities is often slow. Mail from the United States to Windhoek, the capital, can take up to four weeks. From there, it could take two more weeks for mail to reach your village. Keep in mind that many rural villages and towns do not have direct mail service; in order to receive mail in these locations, Volunteers must purchase post office boxes in their nearest urban area.

 During pre-service training, you may use the Peace Corps office address:

 "Your name," PCT

 Peace Corps

 PO Box 6862

 Ausspannplatz,

 Windhoek, Namibia

 Your mail will be forwarded periodically to your training site. Once you have moved to your permanent site, you will use the school's address or get a private post office box.

 ===Telephones ===

 Telephones are accessible in most towns and villages, along or near main roads, and in most schools. No international telephone companies (e.g., MCI or AT&T) operate in Namibia, so you will be unable to make collect calls or use calling cards purchased in the United States. Calling cards are available in Namibia for use in-country and internationally. International service from the larger towns is good, but calls must be made from a telecommunications office or a private phone. Cellphone usage and coverage is increasing throughout Namibia. Most Volunteers purchase their own cellphone during training or bring their own from home. Text messaging (or "sms") is quickly becoming a preferred means of communication amongst Volunteers. The two major cellular companies are [http://www.mtc.com MTC] and [http://www.cellone.com.na Cell One]. MTC is the largest cellular company in Namibia and the preferred provider of most Namibians and Volunteers. Volunteers are advised not to sign up for international plans with their U.S. cell providers, as these plans often do not work in Namibia.

 ===Computer, Internet, and E-mail Access ===

 Access to e-mail is available in Internet cafes in Windhoek and other larger towns. Some teacher resource centers provide public access to e-mail but not the Internet, and junior and senior secondary schools throughout the country are increasingly setting up internet access in their computer labs. Internet access is also available through the cell phone companies with a GPRS capable GSM phone, as well as High Speed 3G service in larger towns. The major cell phone companies sell 3G devices which connect via USB to a computer and allow the user to access the internet wherever there is cell service (including in rural areas). Check out the [http://www.mtc.com.na MTC Website]for more information.

 ===Housing and Site Location ===

 Housing varies considerably. Your site might be a Western-style cement block house, usually with electricity and running water; an apartment attached to a student boarding facility (hostel); a traditional hut on a family compound; or a room with a local family. As the government has invited assistance from a variety of sources, you may also be asked to share a two- or three-bedroom house with one or two colleagues (either Namibian or Volunteers from other countries). Our expectation is that you will have a private bedroom, but remember that there is a shortage of housing for government staff in most areas in Namibia. The ministry or agency to which you are assigned is responsible for providing housing, as well as paying your monthly utilities and providing you with the basic furnishings (e.g., bed, chairs, table, stove or hot plate, and refrigerator). With the exception of extremely rural sites in the northern part of the country and the Caprivi, most Volunteers have electricity at home; in these areas, it is the norm for Volunteers (as well as their host country colleagues) to make use of electricity at the school or office to charge electronic devices (i.e. cellphones).

 ===Living Allowance and Money Management ===

 The Peace Corps provides Volunteers with a monthly living allowance for basic expenses, a leave allowance of $24 a month, and a quarterly travel allowance for in-country travel. All allowances are paid in local currency. The amounts are intended to allow a modest lifestyle, and most Volunteers find the allowances to be adequate. The last increase in the Volunteer living allowance in Namibia was in 2009, and annual surveys are conducted to assess the need for an increase in living allowance.

 Volunteers open accounts at the First National Bank of Namibia during pre-service training and are issued an ATM card. The Peace Corps deposits all allowances and reimbursements at the Windhoek branch, which Volunteers can then withdraw from the bank nearest to their site or through the use of their ATM card. For some, this involves a five-minute walk. For most, it requires planning ahead for a ride to town on a free day. Volunteers often travel to town with fellow teachers on payday.

 ===Food and Diet ===

 Basic foods such as flour, rice, pasta, and root vegetables can be bought in most communities, and a wide variety of products are available in the larger town centers. Fresh fruits and vegetables are highly seasonal in rural areas and may have to be transported from quite a distance. Canned goods are widely available throughout Namibia.

 Although committed vegetarians and vegans have successfully maintained their diet and health in Namibia, obtaining the recommended daily allowances of vital food groups and micronutrients can be quite challenging. The Peace Corps medical office provides multivitamins, calcium, iron tablets, and, in some instances, vitamin B-12. Some Volunteers in Namibia grow their own gardens in order to have fresh vegetables when they want them. Maintenance of a healthy and balanced diet will be discussed extensively during pre-service training.

 ===Transportation ===

 Traveling by road is inherently dangerous in Namibia. People generally drive too fast and the level of driving skill and courtesy is often lower than you would encounter in the United States. The miles of unpaved roads and the poor state of many vehicles on the road, including those serving as informal taxis, present serious challenges to Volunteers trying to get around. Given the lack of public transport in many areas, Volunteers are often forced to utilize informal taxis or other forms of hitching a ride. The Peace Corps policies on transportation in Namibia urge Volunteers to limit their travel only to essential trips and to stay at site as much as possible. If a Volunteer has to travel by road, care must be taken to choose the safest route and means of transportation. Given the paucity of transportation options available to Volunteers, this requires prior planning and flexibility on the part of the Volunteer. It will often be necessary to extend a trip or to put it off because the transportation options available are not safe. The ultimate responsibility for choosing the safest means of travel falls on the Volunteer.

 Taxis are available in some more populated areas. Bus service is beginning to expand throughout the country, which should provide alternatives to hiking in certain areas.

 ===Geography and Climate ===

 Namibia borders the South Atlantic Ocean, Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa. It lies between latitudes 18 degrees to 28 degrees south and longitudes 12 degrees to 24 degrees east. It covers some 317,5000 square miles and has a population of about 1.8 million.

 Namibia's generally hot and dry climate ranges from true desert to subtropical. As in other parts of southern Africa, temperatures are closely related to wind systems, ocean currents, and altitude. Except for the highest mountain areas, the lowest temperatures occur in the Namib Desert region and are affected greatly by the cold Benguela current from the South Atlantic. Daytime summer temperatures in the desert frequently exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and nighttime winter temperatures can drop below 32 degrees. Volunteers who accept an assignment to Namibia must be willing and medically able to live and work in this extreme climate.

 In the mountainous Windhoek region, average temperatures for the warmest month, December, range from 63 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. In July, average temperatures range from 43 to 69 degrees. Annual rainfall averages 22 inches in the north, six inches in the south, and about two inches in the coastal region. Rain falls mostly during the summer (October through March), and the winter (July through September) is very dry. The most pleasant months are April, May, and June.

 Windhoek is the seat of the national government and the business and cultural center. Keetmanshoop is the center of the karakul (sheepskin) industry, Tsumeb is the headquarters of copper-mining operations, and Otjiwarongo is the center of the cattle farming area. Swakopmund is a coastal tourist center, Oranjemund is a diamond-mining town, and Arandis is the home of the Rossing uranium mine. Walvis Bay is an important port and fishing center west of Windhoek.

 ===Social Activities ===

 Social activities vary depending on where your site is located. In more rural communities, social activities include visiting neighbors' fields and cattle posts and, for men, drinking at local bars. Cultural festivals, sporting events, weddings, and even funerals provide opportunities to meet and socialize with community members and their extended families. Groups of teachers sometimes go to town to shop and relax on paydays before heading off to visit their families. Namibia's rich geography provides many opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities, including national parks and conservation areas. Volunteers sometimes visit each other or meet in larger towns for shopping, socializing, or going to a movie. Although the Peace Corps recognizes that periodic visits to towns are important for networking and moral support, Volunteers are encouraged to remain at their sites as much as possible.

 ===Professionalism, Dress, and Behavior ===

 Namibians attach great importance to neatness and proper dress, particularly in professional situations. Volunteers are expected to dress appropriately both on and off the job and to show respect for Namibian attitudes concerning personal appearance. For work, male Volunteers usually wear slacks or khakis and a nice shirt, often with a tie. Female Volunteers usually wear a long dress, a long skirt with a nice top, or pants with a nice shirt. While floor-length skirts and dresses are not required, women generally do not wear skirts shorter than knee length.

 Excessive drinking is widespread in Namibia. Volunteers come under social pressure from colleagues or other Volunteers to drink, often to excess. Because of the Volunteers' unique status in the community and as a representative of the American people, they are "on duty" twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. As such, Volunteers are expected to comport themselves in a professional and culturally sensitive manner at all times. Peace Corps/Namibia has strict regulations concerning the excessive consumption of alcohol and these rules are enforced.

 ===Personal Safety ===

 More information about the Peace Corps' approach to safety is outlined in the Health Care and Safety chapter, but it is an important issue and cannot be overemphasized. As stated in the Volunteer Handbook, becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer entails certain safety risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment (oftentimes alone), having a limited understanding of local language and culture, and being perceived as well-off are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Many Volunteers experience varying degrees of unwanted attention and harassment. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon, and incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although most Namibia Volunteers complete their two years of service without personal security incidents. The Peace Corps has established procedures and policies designed to help you reduce your risks and enhance your safety and security. These procedures and policies, in addition to safety training, will be provided once you arrive in Namibia. At the same time, you are expected to take responsibility for your safety and well-being.

 ===Rewards and Frustrations ===

 Invariably, former Namibia Volunteers speak of the relationships they established as the highlight of their service.

 Many speak of how they learned to value a more family- and community-centered way of life, and of how they grew in patience and understanding. Most are able to pinpoint specific contributions they made to Namibia's development (i.e., improving the levels of English proficiency of their students, teachers, and community colleagues; seeing students pick up science and math concepts; watching teachers try new ideas in the classroom; helping a community organize an important development project; and fostering a dialogue about HIV/AIDS).

 The positive reflections are the endpoint of a series of highs and lows that are part and parcel of the process of leaving the United States, arriving in Namibia, and adapting to the practices and pace of life in a new culture. You are likely to have less guidance and direction than you would get in a new job in the United States. You may have to motivate yourself and your colleagues without receiving any feedback on your work. You will need flexibility, maturity, open-mindedness, and resourcefulness to overcome difficulties. If you are willing to respect and become integrated into your community, to work hard at your assignment, and to be open to all that Namibia has to offer, you will be a successful Volunteer. You, too, will be able to look back positively on the relationships you have built and the small differences you have made by virtue of those relationships.

Stock Futures Fall on Italian Turmoil
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were wavering Monday amid jitters over the political upheaval in Italy and as investors awaited more news from Washington on the U.S. budget negotiations.
Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. November nonfarm payrolls report helped temper some of the negative sentiment.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 4 points, or 12.13 points below fair value, at 13,139. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 1.70 points, or 2.76 points below fair value, at 1414. Futures for the Nasdaq were behind by 5.25 points, or 8.14 points below fair value, at 2630.
On Monday, Italy's 10-year bond yield spiked by more than 0.2 percentage points to 4.79% after the technocrat Prime Minister Mario Monti said over the weekend he intends to resign once the country's 2013 budget passes into law, following the loss of support from former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's PDL party. Monti's resignation sparked worries over the efforts to repair the country's debt crisis.
Berlusconi announced that he will run for office again.
Monti had stepped in to replace Berlusconi after the Italian 10-year bond yield jumped to a record 7.48% in November 2011.
"The Eurozone's political scene was thrown into uncertainty ... Monti's succession was always going to be a potential stumbling block for the eurozone's crisis resolution, and the credibility of Italy's reforms will undoubtedly face closer scrutiny in the coming months, and yields will react accordingly," said Geoffrey Yu, a currency strategist at UBS. "Ahead today, the data flow is limited but no doubt newswires will be active in gauging the eurozone's reaction, as well as news on the fiscal cliff."
On the U.S. fiscal cliff front, President Barack Obama is expected to pay a visit to a Daimler engine plant in Michigan Monday to make his case for raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
"If an agreement on the cliff is reached before year-end, there will likely have to be some real movement in the negotiations within the next week, with Republicans giving ground on tax rates and Democrats offering cuts in entitlements," said Deutsche Bank economists. "One plausible compromise we consider would raise growth by 2% relative to a full fiscal cliff scenario."
Major U.S. stock averages traded mixed Friday after a better-than-expected November jobs report was tempered by worries about the progress on the U.S. budget talks in Washington and dimmer consumer confidence.
The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index on Friday showed a big drop for December, with a reading of 74.5, the weakest number since August and down from 82.7 the prior month.
No major U.S. economic releases were expected for Monday.
The FTSE 100 in London was down 0.34% and the DAX in Germany was down 0.69%. Japan's Nikkei average closed up 0.07% on Friday and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index finished up by 0.39%, helped by an a positive read on consumer prices in China over the weekend and the upbeat U.S. employment data from Friday.

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake or muffin cases. Mix the flour, sugar, lemon zest and poppy seeds together in a large mixing bowl. Beat the eggs into the yogurt, then tip this into the dry ingredients with the melted butter. Mix together with a wooden spoon or whisk until lump-free, then divide between the cases. Bake for 20-22 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean – the cakes will be quite pale on top still. Cool for 5 mins in the tin, then carefully lift onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
To ice, beat the softened butter until really soft in a large bowl, then gradually beat in the icing sugar and lemon juice. Stir in enough food colouring for a pale lemon colour, then spoon the icing into a piping bag with a large star nozzle.
Ice one cake at a time, holding the piping bag almost upright with the nozzle about 1cm from the surface of the cake. Pipe one spiral of icing around the edge, then pause to break the flow before moving the nozzle towards the centre slightly and piping a second, smaller spiral that continues until there are no gaps in the centre. Slightly 'dot' the nozzle into the icing as you stop squeezing to finish neatly. Repeat to cover all the cakes, then top with sugar decorations or scatter with sprinkles.

Mmmmmm these are delish! Didn't bother with the icing as they don't need the extra sugar and fat although I did add a dollop of lemon curd in middle of each cake. I also added juice of 1 lemon as I feel they're not lemony enough, didn't bother toasting poppy seeds, used full fat Greek yogurt because that's all I had and added a tablespoon of chia seeds! Nice little treat in packed lunch!
Love, love, love this recipe! So easy to make, and nice and lemony. I left out the poppy seeds, instead I used a cupcake corer and added a tsp of homemade lemon curd to the centres before I iced them. No idea why so many people had problems with the icing being too runny as it is a standard recipe for butter icing? Oh, and this recipe won me first prize in the cupcake section at my county show :D
Made these yesterday for afternoon tea. They are fabulous...not sure the icing is needed as they tasted yummy on their own but I did ice them and it was a nice treat. I didn't follow the icing recipe though as it just seemed too much butter and icing sugar so I made up some lemon buttercream using less ingredients and it was fab. Will be making these again very soon....
This recipe is awesome! I've replaced the poppy seeds with blueberries so it ended up being blueberry lemon zest cupcakes. I've reduced the sugar and butter for a healthier option and the cupcakes turned out beautiful. Click on the link below for the modified recipe.
Everyone has said that the icing was too runny, but I thought the batter looked fairly runny - I guess because of the yoghurt. The cakes rose amazingly though and look great, so I guess they were as runny as they were meant to be!
There wasn't much space for them to rise further in my cupcake cases, so I think if I was going to add lemon curd or something like others have, it would make more than 12.
For the icing, I used half the amount of butter, really juiced the lemon (it was quite a big one), added the yellow food colouring and then just kept adding icing sugar until it looked and tasted right (really zingy and nice!)
I decorated with halved candied lemon slices. Look great! Can't wait to eat!
Great cupcakes! Only problem I had was the icing was a bit loose and runny. I did what others suggested and added some lemon drizzle on the bare cupcakes whilst they were still hot from the oven (I pricked the cakes all over lightly with a skewer so the drizzle would absorb better) this added a great zing! Lovely light cupcakes and the poppy seeds make them look different and special :)

Tried these and yes they came out as well as was promised! I did not put as much frosting ( in fact made half the amount of frosting specified) but yet managed to frost all the cupcakes though not as decadently as shown in the picture. I did not have yellow food colouring so added a small pinch of turmeric, worked well. Also I used Stork brand of butter not normal butter. I wonder if it will work as well with something like butter spread as is 'nt Stork also made from vegetable fat?
Questions (6)
I have made these and they area amazing. The only issue I had was the butter icing quite running and I had to add a lot more icing sugar to it. Can you guys give me a fail safe recipe for the perfect butter icing for these cakes? the lemon juice definitely works in the recipe but I am wondering if it is the reason why the icing was a bit runny. I did also add lemon drizzle on the cakes whilst still warm which added to the depth of flavour, I would recommend doing this :)
I love these cupcakes and have made them a few times now. Go down a treat for the nurses on night shift. My cakes don't seem to rise very well though, it is usually more icing than cake, the cake comes out quite thin. When I made them again I tried to whisk more with an electric whisk but they are still the same. I have also tried to add more mixture to the cases but it has just spilt over the edge. Any tips?

When heading to Disney World who knew one of the most magical moments would be not having to use any of the following: ID, credit card, debit card, cash, or wallet to purchase anything, anywhere.
Disney launched their "magic bands" late in 2013 – and at first glance it seemed like a theme park enhancement. A way to get on rides easier, to verify your tickets, etc… But the killer feature was living the week without a wallet. I'm always interested in new payment methods, I've tried square, paypal – I use my starbucks app for every ice-tea purchase, but I haven't seen anything that "just works" like this. And at scale, with 17 million people entering just Disney World's Magic Kingdom each year.
image via: http://blog.silive.com/goofy_about_disney/2014/06/post_34.html
The bands are a water-proof and unobtrusive – a wearable that never needs to come off. It holds a RFID chip that holds all your information. That with a 4 digit pin number, and you're set for anything needed at any Disney park or even Downtown Disney shopping area.
It's liberating, simple, and convenient. Almost too simple, which I'll assume leads to bigger average purchases then non-band shoppers. And something I can't believe someone else like a VISA or MasterCard hasn't yet been able to achieve (imagine wearing your VISA and AMEX bands all the time 😉

Christian techies around the world may soon be singing the praises of a new touch display tablet designed to bridge the gap between technology and religion.

Join Hinchey: vote for Schreibman
We've been lucky to have Maurice Hinchey as our Congressman for two decades.
As Hinchey prepares to retire, he came to Callicoon last week to give his full endorsement to Julian Schreibman to replace him. After talking with Schreibman on several occasions, I am convinced that he is the right man to fill Hinchey's shoes. Schreibman shares my values as a hard-working member of the middle class. He respects affordable health care and Medicare for seniors. I am impressed with him as a person and as a prosecutor.
I did my homework and went on the website of Schreibman's opponent, Chris Gibson. Gibson states proudly that he voted to abolish President Obama's health reform plan. As a parent of two young working adults, I am so grateful that President Obama's health reform plan allows me to cover my two adult children until they are 26.
Gibson also wants to replace Medicare with vouchers for seniors. My parents and husband, after paying into the Medicare system all their working lives, did reap the benefits of Medicare. What we have now is a good system. It scares me to think of seniors having to navigate finding and buying health insurance with a voucher to get medical attention.
Gibson wants to site a nuclear power plant in our area. We should be pushing for solar, wind and geothermal energy instead. These options would be safe, renewable and not put my property value at risk, like a nuclear power plant would.
I will join Maurice Hinchey in voting for Julian Schreibman for Congress on November 6th.

Learn more: New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START)
On July 29, Assistant Secretary of State for Verification, Compliance, and Implementation Rose Gottemoller testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Secretary Gottemoller said,
"I am honored to be here to provide my perspective as chief negotiator of the Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, also known as the New START Treaty. The Treaty is a continuation of the international arms control and nonproliferation framework that the United States has worked hard to foster and strengthen for the last 50 years. It will provide ongoing transparency and predictability regarding the world's two largest nuclear arsenals, while preserving our ability to maintain the strong nuclear deterrent. Indeed, this treaty imposes no constraint on U.S. efforts to modernize its nuclear enterprise or develop and deploy the most effective missile defenses possible to protect U.S. national security and the security of our allies and friends.
"A little over a year ago, the Administration set out to negotiate the New START Treaty with the goal of replacing the expiring START Treaty with a new agreement for each Party to reduce and limit its strategic offensive arms. I want to underscore that the focus of these negotiations from beginning to end was strategic offensive arms. We were also determined to move beyond Cold War mentalities and chart a fresh beginning in our relations with Russia. The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review concluded that the United States could sustain a stable deterrent with significantly fewer deployed warheads and strategic delivery vehicles than permitted under earlier arms control agreements. It further recognized that we need to cooperate with Russia as our partner to meet these threats and other global challenges."
The Assistant Secretary continued, "The New START Treaty represents a significant step forward in building a stable, cooperative relationship with Russia. But this Treaty is not just about Washington and Moscow. It advances the security of the entire world. By demonstrating that we are living up to our obligations under Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), we enhance our credibility to convince other governments to help strengthen the international nonproliferation regime and confront proliferators.""The New START Treaty will enhance U.S. national security by stabilizing the strategic balance between the United States and the Russian Federation at lower levels of nuclear forces. The New START Treaty preserves the United States' right to determine our own force structure, giving us the flexibility to deploy and maintain our strategic nuclear forces in a way that best serves U.S. national security interests. As long as nuclear weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure, and effective arsenal to deter any adversary and protect our allies."
Assistant Secretary Gottemoeller then provided background on the verification of the New START Treay. She said:
"New START's verification measures are designed to ensure that each Party is able to verify the other's compliance with the central limits in the Treaty, including:
"No more than 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers;
"No more than 1,550 warheads emplaced on deployed ICBMs and deployed SLBMs and counted for deployed heavy bombers; and
"No more than 800 deployed and non-deployed ICBM launchers, deployed and non-deployed SLBM launchers, and deployed and non-deployed heavy bombers.
"The obligations and prohibitions of the New START Treaty are different from those in START, reflecting lessons learned from 15 years of implementing the START Treaty. The differences also reflect the spirit of the Moscow Treaty, by permitting each Party the flexibility to determine for itself the configuration of its strategic forces at the reduced levels of delivery vehicles and deployed warheads established in this Treaty. Like START, the New START Treaty contains extensive verification provisions that promotes strategic stability by ensuring transparency and predictability regarding U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces and confidence that the Russian Federation does not exceed the Treaty's limits throughout its ten-year term."
The Assistant Secretary concluded, "I believe that the New START Treaty is in the national security interests of the United States, is the right treaty for today and the coming years, and will restore the transparency and predictability that START provided while it was in force. The combination of improved U.S. understanding of Russian strategic forces resulting from the implementation of the START Treaty, U.S. NTM capabilities, the New START Treaty's verification provisions, and a favorable posture deterring cheating or breakout, results in a New START Treaty that is effectively verifiable."
Read the Assistant Secretary's full statement here.
Eslaporte in Wisconsin writes:
It's about time we work to end the Cold War for good. By "for good" I also mean ending the Cold war mentality of Russia as "a threat."
After the 9-11 attacks, Russia was eager to help in the efforts against the Taliban and al-Qeada. After all, Afghanistan is in Russia's back yard.
The Cold War has to also have an institutional ending. I am of the firm belief that NATO is outdated, including institutionally, and is also provocative. Being a honorable ending to the greatest military alliance and close NATO.
The continuation of the so-called missile defense shield in East Europe is also a mistake - and this is also a continuation of the Cold War mentality of "Russia as threat."
Russia is needed for the so-called frozen conflicts in that part of the world, and it is neglect of a final resolution of these frozen conflicts that the short war between Russia and Georgia occurred.
Russia needs to be a part of the solution - not though of as "part of the problem."

This play was the most confusing play I have ever seen. There was no comprehensive plot, no line as to where the story is going, I could not understand one of the characters role, as to how he come to look like the dead husband. If you are looking for a distraction and weirdness this is the play to see, however if you are looking for some good old fashion 'who done it' this play is not for you. You will be upset, and disappointed. I liked it just because I went somewhere I have never been.

Quotes & Highlights
"Wonderfully puzzling! A crackling thriller! Sends electric thrills up the spine!" —The New York Times
"A cunning little whodunit" —The New Yorker
"If Harold Pinter, Tennessee Williams and Agatha Christie ever sat around a bar one night and said, 'Let's write a murder mystery,' they might have come up with Perfect Crime." —UPI
Warren Manzi's Perfect Crime is a sexy, funny and fast-paced thriller that makes for a great night of whodunit. The longest-running play in NYC history, it tells the story of psychiatrist and potential cold-blooded killer Margaret Brent, her rich husband, a deranged patient, and the handsome detective who's falling in love with her. Perfect Crime features Catherine Russell, the "Cal Ripken of Broadway," Richard Shoberg (Tom Cudahy on All My Children), John Hillner (star of the Tony Award Winning Broadway revival of La Cages Aux Folles) and TV veteran George McDaniel (The West Wing, ER, Saved by the Bell).
