About the Author: W. Stuart Symington is the U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda.
Rwanda is one of the most densely-populated countries in Africa. With an HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the country of 3.1 percent, Rwanda's government has made prevention, care, and treatment for HIV/AIDS a top priority. The government of Rwanda, in partnership with the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and other development partners, has made significant progress toward the goals of universal antiretroviral treatment access and elimination of mother-to-child transmission.
Rwanda's successful HIV programs are due in large part to the government's leadership. Whether it is an initiative to circumcise two million men by 2012, train 60,000 community health workers to care for Rwandans in every village, or provide access to services to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission to 100 percent of pregnant women, Rwanda's government is instrumental in conceiving and implementing creative approaches to battling HIV/AIDS. Over 80 percent of HIV-infected people who are need of antiretroviral therapy receive it.
Rwanda's civil society also plays a significant role in this success. In every district in Rwanda, civil society groups implement HIV/AIDS programs for the general population, as well as programs that focus on women and girls, orphans and vulnerable children, youth, and other vulnerable populations. A recent example of this leadership is that in 2010, the annual award for Rwanda's best HIV prevention program from the Rwanda National AIDS Control Commission went to the civil society organization Association de Solidarite des Femmes Rwandais, which is funded through PEPFAR.
The Rwandan government's dedication to eradicating HIV/AIDS in the country is demonstrated by its efforts to coordinate with development partners, implementers, and other stakeholders. The Rwandan Ministry of Health chairs the Health Sector Working Group, which coordinates with local and international civil society and all of the bilateral and multilateral donors, in support of the National Health Sector Strategic Plan II. As the two largest contributors of HIV/AIDS funding, Global Fund and PEPFAR representatives collaborate closely in-country to ensure efficiency and leveraging of resources. The Rwandan government insures that all stakeholders are working in concert to provide HIV prevention, care and treatment programs to all its citizens, while strengthening Rwanda's health system for the long term.
The Rwandan government's strong leadership -- a factor in its selection as a Global Health Initiative-Plus (GHI+) country -- makes it a model for country ownership of health programs. "Vision 2020," a framework for Rwanda's development, presenting the key priorities and providing Rwandans with a guiding tool for where they want to be by the year 2020, and its supporting planning documents -- such as the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) and the Health Sector Strategy Plan (HSSP) -- create a structure by which all efforts are guided by a specific vision and strategy. This group effort, led by the Rwandan government, together with Rwandan civil society and international development partners, is the key to Rwanda's success.
Livret A. writes:
Research against AIDS is very important. We must continue to help researchers by give them money. I hope that effective remedies will be found soon.
W.G. writes:
Rwanda is a shining example of what is possible when governments take lead in matters of protecting their citizens from all threats including infectious diseases. Kudos to the people of Rwanda and hope the rest of Africa can follow.

Some hon. members
Oh, oh.
The Budget
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
The Deputy Speaker
Order, please. It appears that the generosity of the Chair may not always be the wisest way to proceed. I would simply like to remind the hon. member on the government side that when he is speaking to his colleagues, all interventions must be made through the Chair.
If we want to continue our debate in a proper parliamentary manner, it would be wise to conform to the usual practices and make our interventions through the Chair.
We will now proceed with members' statements.
New Horizons Program
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik, QC
Mr. Speaker, for many years now, I have been fighting to restore the New Horizons program, which granted subsidies to seniors' groups for projects, thereby contributing to their well-being. This program highlighted volunteer initiatives by seniors for seniors, which also encouraged them to get involved in activities to stay physically fit.
On numerous occasions, during Quebec and national caucus meetings, I had indicated my desire to create a program to better meet the needs of seniors throughout Canada with additional funding.
In closing, I am pleased that budget 2004 also allocates $8 million in 2004-05 and $10 million annually thereafter to the New Horizons program. These funds will help our seniors take part in social activities, lead an active lifestyle and contribute to their communities.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency

1:55 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Randy White Langley—Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, the avian flu is in my riding of Abbotsford. I have met with our provincial minister of agriculture and our province's chief veterinarian to further understand the problem.
I have also met with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to assess the damages. For three hours last night I listened while producers asked many questions of the CFIA. It is important for everybody to know that this flu affects birds and not people. I want to applaud the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for such a thorough investigation of the issue.
I also want to say that the government will be reimbursing farmers for destroyed birds, but we want the government to understand that there are other costs, such as cleanup, lost production time and lost birds due to the flu, that have to be looked at. We will be back to the government on that issue.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Brent St. Denis Algoma—Manitoulin, ON
Mr. Speaker, as the federal member of Parliament for the large northern Ontario riding of Algoma—Manitoulin, soon to be renamed Algoma--Manitoulin--Kapuskasing, I have had the opportunity to become very involved with our first nations. I have often said that we have much to learn from our aboriginal citizens and neighbours. Foremost, I find the natural spirituality of our first peoples to be inspirational.
It is important that Canadian society at large help to protect and preserve Canada's aboriginal heritage by working in partnership to support local initiatives to preserve aboriginal culture. If we do not act now, then many of the languages and stories of Canada's original inhabitants may be lost forever.
I want to commend the Kinnomaadoog project of the M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. By working to preserve the stories and languages being passed on by community elders, this project is doing us all a great service.
I want to thank the leaders and participants in this excellent project.
Gérard Paradis
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, Gérard Paradis, a Canadian from Laval-les-Îles, has gone to Colombia under the auspices of Canadian Executive Service Organization, CESO. This organization contributes to activities as part of Canada's contribution to stimulating development in economically disadvantaged countries through the efforts of highly qualified volunteers.
Mr. Paradis' expertise will help a chemical company improve the distribution of its products and develop a strategy for marketing new and improved products. Volunteer work has a profound cumulative effect on nearly all sectors of our society by encouraging their growth and development.
I join the people of Laval in thanking Mr. Paradis and the millions of volunteers working throughout the world to improve the lives of those most in need.
Ordre de la Couronne
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Nancy Karetak-Lindell Nunavut, NU
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to announce that two Oblate Fathers, who have spent their lives in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut, Father Charles Choque and Father Josephee Meeus, have been awarded the Ordre de la Couronne.
This special recognition from King Albert II of Belgium was awarded to Father Choque and Father Meeus for their long and exceptional commitment promoting the culture, values and spirituality of the Inuit with whom they ministered.
The Ambassador of Belgium, Mr. Daniel Leroy, will confer the order upon the two fathers in Rankin Inlet at the end of May.
I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the new knights.
Renfrew County
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, the innovative way to assist eastern Ontario in bringing diversity to our local economy would be to designate Renfrew County with northern status. It has been recognized on both sides of the House that eastern Ontario needs more effective economic development.
The people of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke share many of the challenges of a resource based economy with their neighbours in northern Ontario. In the past, the decision to extend northern status south of the French River was based on politics. From border closures to ruminants, the softwood lumber dispute, SARS, West Nile virus and rising energy prices, the people of Renfrew County and the city of Pembroke need a break.
I call upon the Prime Minister to cherish his Ottawa Valley roots and rise above petty partisan politics to grant Renfrew County northern status before an election is called. It is all about Canadian jobs.
Dominic Agostino
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paddy Torsney Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday Canada lost a great parliamentarian and a great Canadian. Dominic Agostino, MPP for Hamilton East, died leaving a gaping hole in our political landscape.
Over the years, Dominic served as a school board trustee, a city and regional councillor, and at Queen's Park since 1995. A fearless fighter, Dominic was energetic, passionate about his community of Hamilton, his province and his country. He dedicated his entire adult life to fighting for the underdog.
Along the way, he earned the respect of his political allies and his opponents, described by one as Mike Harris' worst nightmare. His huge family of friends will miss him greatly. I will miss seeing Dominic at political events where he always had a huge crowd of admirers around him enjoying his ideas, his humour and his loyalty.
I know all colleagues will join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to his family. Those of us who knew him will have many fond memories to cherish of a wonderful person we were lucky to have had enrich our lives.
Jean Vigneault
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Yvan Loubier Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week Saint-Hyacinthe and area lost a major figure, when Jean Vigneault, editor in chief of the Courrier de Saint-Hyacinthe , editorial writer, radio personality and voice of conscience, died more quietly than he had ever lived.
Jean Vigneault loved a good fight, particularly a political fight. I have more than once been the victim of his tongue and pen, and they were always sharp. Yet I knew him to be a man of unfailing social commitment, well aware of his influence and making admirable use of that sharp pen to bring about improvements for the common good.
Our last battles on the same side were about employment insurance and keeping the faculty of veterinary medicine. We were at least partially victorious.
Although we did not share the same point of view about the future of Quebec, I kept hoping to be able to convince Jean Vigneault of my views, and as a result of all our discussions we just naturally came to be friends .
My sincere condolences to his wife and family. We will long remember Mr. Vigneault, and our best memories will be of his powerful jibes in the print media.

Eleni Bakopanos Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, this weekend more than 300,000 Canadians of Greek origin will be celebrating the 183rd anniversary of Greece's independence.
My constituents of Hellenic origin and all members of the greater Hellenic community of Montreal and across Canada have contributed to building this great nation by upholding the very same ideals of democratic principles, liberty and individual rights held by their ancestors and shared by all Canadians. These concepts and values originating from Greece have been the basis of the democratic system of government of all modern nations including Canada, my second "patrida".
I am proud of my Greek origins, as I am proud to be a Canadian. Canada offers an excellent example of a country pursuing the ideals of Hellenism: freedom, democracy and justice.
Today and over the weekend, I invite all members of the House to join their constituents of Hellenic origin in the numerous celebrations, such as receptions, parades and wreath laying ceremonies that will take place across Canada and proclaim:
[Editor's Note: Member spoke in Greek and provided the following translation:]
Long live Greece. Long live Canada.

Rahim Jaffer Edmonton Strathcona, AB
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Conservative Party of Canada, the official opposition, I would like to extend to all members of the Greek Canadian community our most heartfelt wishes of support in celebrating Hellenic culture in Canada today, on this Greece's independence day.
On March 25, 1821 Greece declared its independence after 400 years of being under the siege of the Ottoman Empire. I commend all those who gave their lives for peace, justice and equality. I pay tribute to all the brave men, women and children who put their country ahead of everything else.
Canadians of Greek origin remember this day as the day of their independence. It is in this spirit of independence exemplified by the many Greeks in Canada today that makes this country stronger.
I invite all members of Parliament to join in congratulating the Greek community in Canada today.

Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, on May 2, 2001, a major investment in Canadian culture was announced: more than $500 million over three years, in a program called "Tomorrow Starts Today".
I am pleased to confirm that this investment is renewed for a fourth year, that is, for 2004-05. There will be an additional $207 million invested in 2004-05 in the arts, in book publishing, in heritage and historic sites, in electronic content, in sound recording and in cultural export.
This investment is being used to train a generation of young artists who are more representative of Canada's diversity; strengthen local cultural infrastructure across the country; make Canada's municipalities more aware of the great potential of local culture, using various means; improve the infrastructure needed to preserve Canada's historic sites; and provide on-line access to Canadian culture in both French and English—

Mr. Speaker, this week began with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination at a time when new incidents of racism pose a serious challenge.
Parliament has risen to this challenge and so have communities everywhere. I think about the outpouring last night in Toronto against horrible anti-Semitism. I think about amazing developments in my own community of Winnipeg North.
The students at Shaughnessy Park School just won an award for their video What's Wrong With This Picture? in the "Racism: Stop It!" national video competition.
The Unity Group from Maples Collegiate has been awarded the YMCA Youth Peace Medal in recognition of outstanding anti-racism efforts.
Grades 4 and 5 students at Prairie Rose School recently completed an incredible project centred on the Holocaust inspired story Hana's Suitcase . I am especially inspired by one student's line, "The important thing about Hana's Suitcase was that we learned children have the power to change the future".
I look at these achievements and the spirit they represent and I know we will win this battle against racism.

Flank Steak with Balsamic BBQ Sauce
- 3 cups balsamic vinegar
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 1 (2-pound) flank steak
- Cheesy bread:
- 1 French baguette, sliced
- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
- Sliced scallions, for garnish
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Put the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the reduced vinegar and the remaining ingredients and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature. Sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.
Heat the grill to high.
Brush the flank steak with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on the 1 side, about 4 minutes, turn over and grill until the other side is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Move to a cooler part of the grill away from direct heat. Baste with the sauce and turn several more times until cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 15 minutes longer. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting against the grain into thin slices.
Put the bread on the grill, brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread then remove from the grill. Top with mounds of grated Monterey jack cheese. Put the bread slices on a piece of aluminum foil and return to the grill to melt the cheese. Transfer to a serving platter.
Arrange the flank steak slices on the bread and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.

I talked with Washington's Secretary of Health, Mary Selecky, today about the whooping cough epidemic, the effectiveness of vaccines, and why the state was hit so hard. The full interview will air on this week's edition of "The Impact."
Selecky declared an epidemic in April as a record number of cases of whooping cough spread throughout the state.
Health officials recently announced the spread of the disease appears to be slowing, with some areas of the state returning to pre-epidemic levels. Washington state has already recorded more than 4,500 cases of whooping cough so far this year — the highest number of cases since the 1940s.
In a normal year, Selecky said the state would see about 10 cases a week. Now, the health department is recording between 20 to 30 cases a week. "So it's not quite over," Selecky said.
Selecky said there was no "singular cause" for the epidemic. Whooping cough outbreaks come in cycles every five to seven years, she said. "What we saw this year is that this bug was more virulent, or attacking more folks," she said.
There's also the problem of "undervaccinated" children who don't get the full series of vaccine shots (all kids under the age of 5 have to get five shots), or children who aren't vaccinated at all by their parents for philosophical reasons.
But there's another reason: the vaccine may be wearing off too fast.
This summer, a team of federal scientists investigated the outbreak. They suspect that the current version of the whooping cough vaccine is weaker than the older version.
"The vaccine we're using is very effective, but the question is how long does it last?" said Selecky.
An advisory committee is looking into whether another booster shot may be necessary to fill the gap. In the meantime, people should still get the vaccine because if they do catch whooping cough, the symptoms will be less severe if they've been vaccinated, Selecky said.
Here's video of the interview with Selecky:

Central Bankers Buy Can-Kickers Plenty of Cover, for Now
If we all received a dollar every time we read the phrase 2kicking the can down the road" in 2012 then the global economy would be saved.
The tiresome phrase would boil up to the surface of market discourse every time some "last-chance summit to save the euro" dispersed without a sustainable plan to do anything of the kind.
Like all cliches, kicking the can became something of a nonsense. After all, if there were an obviously deliverable quick fix to right the listing currency, those who came up with it would be carved forever on some European Mount Rushmore.
But any lasting solution will involve hard-wiring German taxpayers into the bloc as a whole. That isn't going to happen until the budgets of countries like Italy and Spain look a whole lot more German.
And that's going to take years, so… kick the can. It may confound the euro-skeptic media, but would they really prefer a summit which ended with, "sorry folks, the euro is dead; abandon ship?"
And, as the euro's guardians no doubt hoped, the markets have become ever more comfortable with their achingly gradual approach. The commentators may tut and hiss, but look at European stock markets. 2013 was a year of healthy gains all around, despite its fearful summitry.
Anyone who thought we might miss the clatter of kicked cans in 2013 has already been disappointed, and we're not even out of week one. The cliche has gone Transatlantic, with the universal declaration that Congress's last-minute pullback from the 'fiscal cliff' is simply more of the same.
However, yet again, that hardly worried the markets. Witness Wednesday's global mega-surge.
For whatever else the world's central banks have done in the post-crisis years, they have bought the politicians some time for can kicking. As Louise Cooper, previously of Goldman Sachs and BGC Capital Partners and now an independent analyst, put it, the Federal Reserve is covering up for the failure of politicians to confront the cliff head on, because quantitative easing ensures that the real risk to markets from Congressional indecision isn't reflected in asset prices. Thank Heaven.
"Reducing the interest rate or yield on Treasurys forces investors into other asset classes, ensuring that financial markets are much more resilient to bad news," she said.
The trouble with this is that quantitative easing has limits. The Western economies where it's been deployed have so far avoided the worst-case inflation blowouts many analysts feared when the money presses started to roll. That's largely because investors know, or think they do, that QE will in the end be measured and limited.
2013′s big game could well be guessing when political deadlock will lose the cover central banks have bought for it, on both sides of the Atlantic. Let's hope the politicians, as well as investors, decide to play.

Guide To Viewing Fireworks From Your Boat
July 2, 2013
About the only way to make a Fourth of July fireworks display even more spectacular is to watch it from your boat. Not only do you get to enjoy the relatively cooler temperatures as the evening sets in, you essentially get double the show because of the reflections off the surface of the water. If this is your first time to venture out on the water at night, let's just say it will be tough to spend an Independence Day on terra firma ever again.
Sure, it takes a little planning to get ready for an on-the-water fireworks display, but the extra effort is worth it to ensure that your crew will have a fun, safe and memorable night. The two biggest challenges? Well, it will be dark, of course, and more than likely, you won't be the only one out there with this great idea. As long as you keep those two things in mind and follow these tips, things should go smoothly.
Well before you get underway, take time to check that all running and anchor lights are working properly. And make sure you have all of your safety equipment including a whistle (or other approved noise-making advice) and a life jacket for everyone on board. Sometimes you'll have more passengers than usual for a special trip like this, so a life-jacket count is important. Remember that boating law enforcement authorities will be out in force.
Make sure you have ear protection for children or hearing-sensitive adults. The sound of exploding fireworks is greatly amplified across open water. And while they may love being part of the action on most boat trips, please leave your pets at home. The disorienting lights and loud sounds can cause anxiety in even the calmest animal. And there are already enough distractions for the captain and crew.
Find a good spot well before the show starts. Whether you're beaching, rafting with other boats, or dropping anchor in open water, you will not regret getting there a little early and staking your claim (well outside the restricted area around the launching platform) while there's still some daylight. This will help ensure that you've chosen a spot well out of the main channel where all the latecomers will be rushing in to find any remaining anchorages.
For the safety of your passengers and other boaters, keep libations off limits for the captain and vital crew. You will have plenty of things to keep track of before, during and after the show. Keep your wits about you and don't "be that guy."
Don't add to the show. That means turning off all non-required lights onboard and never launch your own fireworks from the boat. No spotlights, no flashlights, no sparklers. It just detracts from the viewing experience for your boat and everyone around you. And keep your radio off or turned down. There will be plenty of ambient noise and sounds to keep you occupied.
Finally, after the show, don't be in a hurry to leave. Most accidents happen when there's a mad dash back to the dock. Often it's the ones in a hurry have not heeded the advice to stay away from the holiday "spirits." You've already taken the time to get set up and properly anchored. Enjoy the mass exodus and a sky full of stars while the crowds file out of the area.
Enjoying a fireworks show from the water is one of the great delights for any boating family. It's an experience you won't forget. And with a few precautions and a little planning, you can make it a memorable experience you can enjoy safely.

Julie Kedzie talks return to the cage this weekend
In many ways Julie Kedzies career mirrors the womens divisions as a whole. In the archives are multiple updates with Julie from her time in HOOK-n-SHOOT through the breakout of the womens divisions in bodogFIGHT and EliteXC, but like the womens divisions as a whole since the demise of EliteXC not much was heard from Julie for almost a year. Now as Strikeforce and Bellator are pushing the womens divisions, Julie returns this weekend to fight in Duke City MMA in Albuquerque, NM.
Julie is coming off an armbar win over Angela Hayes last April. Before joining Jacksons MMA Julie was known as a good gatekeeper, fighting relative legends like Tara LaRosa, Gina Carano, and Amanda Buckner to name a few. After joining Jacksons she started to seriously climb the ranks, turning Julia Berezikova and Kelly Kobold into the gatekeepers Julie used to be. Her only loss under Greg Jackson was at the next weight class up against tough wrestler Tonya Evinger.
This weekend she faces Sarah Schneider who in her last fight lost a split decision to Jennifer Tate but put on a great performance. Schneider also fought the aforementioned Evinger and defeated Kaitlin Young at Tuff-N-uff.
KM: Tell me about this upcoming fight.
JK: Im fighting Sarah Schneider out of Kansas City, MO. She is a really good grappler from a tough school. She is really tough, really good ground game, and she can take a beating. It has potential to be a really great war.
KM: She fought in PureCombat against Jennifer Tate.
JK: Yeah. I didnt see it but I heard she showed great jiu-jitsu in that fight. Im trying not to let it be a high-pressure situation but jiu-jitsu chicks and wrestler chicks seem to have had my number. This is actually a tougher fight than say a standup fighter. All of my losses have been by jiu-jitsu girls except for Gina.
KM: This one is at 135, but Gina was the next weight class up.
JK: I have absolutely no business fighting at 140.
KM: What does this fight mean to your career?
JK: I was hoping I could get a ring rust fight in before I had a serious fight but this is a serious fight. I know for sure it is. She is going to bring her A game. It is a little unnerving, Im not going to lie, because it has been a year since I fought. That is what you do when you are a fighter so Im excited to get back in there.
KM: How far out did you hear about this fight?
JK: About three or four weeks but it was still in the works. It wasnt finalized until maybe two weeks ago. We didnt know who to fight; I just wanted to fight locally.
KM: Wasnt your last fight at Battlequest similar where you were looking to stay active and took a fight relatively short notice?
JK: Yeah. That was also affiliated with the Tapout show. You cant be too picky now because with the economy and female fights a fight is a fight. If Im healthy Im going to do it.
KM: Most fans are only familiar with your fights in EliteXC, probably not with bodog. To those fans you have two losses to Evinger and Carano. They don't know about the Kelly Kobold fight or Angela Hayes. They might think you lost to those two, why should they care about this fight. Was it weight issues in EliteXC, did you choke at the higher level .?
JK: It was the weight issue. I fought Evinger at 140 and went into that fight way light too. I was eating on the way to the scale. Very few fighters with the exception of Tara (LaRosa) can get away with just walking around at that weight. She is phenomenal and an exception. I do think it was the weight issue. I didn't choke with Kobold. For the fight with Evinger I was on Jacksons team so that was my one loss in those four fights. I think early in my career I took every fight without thinking of the consequences. I'm definitely a 135 pound fighter.
KM: What connection does the team have to the show itself?
JK: There is a local promotion called Duke City Brawl. They have always had a couple Jacksons fighters on it and with the economy and what is going on we have so many fighters who just want to fight including myself and Michelle Waterson. Sometimes the opportunities aren't there but we have to keep busy. It is frustrating going a year without a fight. It just kind of evolved, became a way to showcase our local talent. Kind of like Kim Couture has a show in Las Vegas. I'm not saying we stole the idea but we were like that is a really good idea to have not in-house but related fights.
KM: Not everybody but some shows with strong connections to gyms hand those fighters easy wins. I don't notice anything like that with this show.
JK: I have no easy fights left. There is nobody that is going to fight me at the beginner level. I did want a ring rust fight and it is not out there for me. This is going to be a war and every fight from here on out is going to be a war. I don't think it is going to be easy wins for any of our guys here. Having seen the process maybe not going to get television time but worthy fights. Ricky from our gym is not looking to make a cheap buck. He cares about the sport and cares about the gym and how we present things. From everything I've seen it is crystal and 100% good.
KM: You are also Gregs personal assistant. With that role and having a year off how prepared are you? To what degree is your job at the gym distracting from your own career?
JK: The nice thing is about what I do is I take complete advantage of my position. He is the best trainer in MMA in my opinion so I literally say we have an hour, I need to work on this. Actually I'm in a better position than a lot of fighters in that gym because I have access to him and I'm constantly asking him questions. If he can't work with me I'm always finding someone to work with me. I still go to regular practice. He considers that part of my job. I'm his P.A. which I look at as the best internship in the world because I'd love to be a trainer one day.
KM: How would you say you have improved in the past year?
JK: My cardio is definitely better than it has ever been. We have really changed things up conditioning-wise and cardio-wise. I always want a three-round war now. I wouldn't give up a submission if I got one but I just want to battle. My striking has gotten better, my grappling has gotten better, my wrestling has always been a weak point but that is steadily improving we'll see how much better in this fight.
KM: What about you getting in Bellator or Strikeforce?
JK: My management has talked to them. Bellator actually signed a girl from Albuquerque I have never met. My management has talked to both and I think they are waiting to see what happens with this fight. We have to get me in peoples eyes again.
KM: Anything else you want to get across to the fans?
JK: I want to thank the fans for supporting the female fighters, those that do. We are still here and getting stronger, especially me. I'm still out here and have ten years of fighting left in me and I intend every year of it getting better and becoming the best in the world. Vote for Julie!
KM: Sponsors to thank?
JK: Tapout and Musclepharm.

CANANDAIGUA – A Thompson Health cardiac rehabilitation nurse was recently named one of only two recipients of a national award presented by Mended Hearts, Inc.
A nonprofit organization, Mended Hearts partners with more than 460 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics throughout the country, offering information and support to people with heart disease and their families.
The organization's Rochester chapter has a Canandaigua satellite program at Thompson Hospital, and coordinator Mary Allhusen, RN-BC, was nominated by Rochester Chapter President Sharon Feldman for the Sydney & Helen Shuman Nurse Recognition Award. The award was established "to show appreciation to the nurses who make a positive difference by their skill, care and presence."
"Mary's patients love her and feel that she has given them confidence in their ability to recover from their cardiac problems," said Feldman, adding that for more than 20 years, "Mary has been unrelenting in bringing hope and caring to heart patients and their families."
A Canandaigua resident, Allhusen has worked at Thompson since 1979. She assisted with founding the hospital's Cardiac Rehabilitation Department in 1991, supervised it for many years, and remains a staff nurse. In addition to assisting Facilitator Jim Fralick with Thompson's monthly Mended Hearts support group, she is a key organizer of Thompson's annual Rose Walk – which raises funding for the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Fitness Center's scholarship fund – and helped launch Thompson's Eastview Mall Walkers program.
Allhusen is expected to be officially presented with her award at the Sept. 13 meeting of Thompson's Mended Hearts chapter.
The one other 2012 recipient of the Sydney & Helen Shuman Nurse Recognition Award is a nurse who works with a Mended Hearts chapter in Knoxville, Tenn.

An experimental approach to determine the hole-pressure under expansion load
M. GholinejadI; Sh. ArshadnejadII
IDepartment of Mining Engineering, South Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran
IIDepartment of Mining Engineering, Mahallat Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran
Applying non-explosive expansion material (NEEM) is one of the safest methods for rock fracturing, especially in a hard rock quarry. An experimental study was conducted to determine the pressure exerted by NEEM in a hole, which is necessary for analysing rock fracturing, particularly in a numerical modelling. Stress distribution was developed in a thick-wall cylinder in order to measure the tangential strain on the external boundary. In the experiments, nine pipes of different materials and varying diameters were selected and then loaded internally with a general type of NEEM. Through electrical strain gauges, the tangential strains were recorded on the external boundary of the pipes.
The results obtained from these tests and existing data from previous researchers were utilized for the statistical analysis. A new experimentally-derived formula is proposed for determining the pressure exerted by NEEM by multiple parameter regression with a high correlation coefficient. The proposed model has a nonlinear form with three independent parameters i.e. the hole diameter, the time, and the modulus of elasticity of the material.
Keywords: experimental test, non-explosive expansion material, thick-wall cylinder.
Non-explosive fracturing of rocks is one of the main rock-breaking methods in hard rock quarries or for the demolition of any concrete structure, and is usually accomplished through the use of non-explosive expansion material (NEEM). Although this method of rock breaking is without noise or vibrations and the entire operation is controllable, safe, and easy, the process is lengthier compare to the blasting method. In this method, circular holes are drilled consecutively in a block of rock with equal length, diameter, and spacing (centre-to-centre distance). Subsequently, the holes are filled with NEEM in grouted form, which by its expansion generates an incremental static load into the holes after about two to four hours (Goto et al., 1988; Zhongzhe et al., 1988; Jana, 1991; Hayashi et al., 1994; Pal Roy, 2005). If the spacing of the holes is appropriate, this will create intersecting cracks between two neighbouring holes, and the block will fracture along the high-stress concentration path between the holes. However, if material is brittle (e. g. hard rocks such as granite and quartzite), it will neither yield fracture nor will elastic behavior be observed before its failure (Hoek and Bieniawski, 1965; Lajtai, 1972; Lawn and Wilshaw, 1975; Ingraffea and Schmidt, 1978; Fowell, 1995; Eberhardt et al., 1999; Orekhov and Zertsalov, 2001; Yagiz, 2009). In other words, stress distribution into the brittle material will be elastic until the fracture process is completed.
Prediction of rock fracture depends on the pressure in the hole, and this information is also required in the numerical modelling of crack growth. This investigation was aimed at determining the pressure developed in a hole due to expansion of the NEEM by physical modelling as well as developing an elasticity theory.
Non-explosive expansion material (NEEM)
The main reaction that takes place in the NEEM is the hydration of lime with evolution of heat:
Without confinement, the reaction results in a volume increase of about two times. Under confinement, the reaction rapidly generates an expansive pressure which exceeds the tensile strength of rocks (when the drill holes are charged with NEEM, the expansive pressure gradually increases to more than 20 MPa). Goto et al. (1988) investigated the reaction of NEEM in a steel pipe as well as its expansive pressure with respect the time (Figure 1) . Using a pressure sensor and strain gauge, they recorded data over 24 hours.
Mechanical behavior of the NEEM includes time, the modulus of elasticity of the rock or other material, and the diameter of the hole (Arshadnejad et al., 2010). NEEM is a chemical combination based on CaO (between 70 and 90 per cent) and SiO2, together with a few other substances such as Al2O3, Fe2O3 etc. Most NEEMs have the same chemical combination worldwide (Goto, et al., 1988; Soeda et al., 1988; Arshadnejad et al., 2010). The NEEM used in the present study was of Iranian manufacture, with the trade name Katrock. Tables I and II show the the chemical analysis (by XRD and XRF) for the NEEM.
Stress distribution around a hole due to internal load
The stress distribution around a circular hole depends on the stress field. Kirsch (1898) initially studied this problem for a single circular hole under a biaxial stress field. The field stress in the current study was located on the external boundaries.
The stress distribution within a thick-walled cylinder under a uniform external and internal load is as follows (Timoshenko and Goodier, 1951)
where ar and ae are the radial and tangential stresses respectively, and r is the radial distance of the considered point from the hole centre. Pi and Po are the internal and external pressures, and a and b are the internal and external radius of the thick-walled cylinder, respectively. Because of axisymmetry in the loading as well as body geometry, there is no shear stress in the medium. Following are some of the constraints for using thick-walled cylinder equations (Shigley, 1956; Hertzberg, 1996).
If there is no external pressure (P0 = 0) the equation becomes:
Stresses on the internal boundary (r = a) are a maximum as follow:
Stresses on the external boundary (r = b) will be as follows:
The tangential strain in the thick-walled cylinder is as follow:
where εθ is the tangential strain, E is Young's modulus, and v is Poisson's ratio. Since the radial stress on the external boundary is zero (Equation 10), the strain on the external boundary (r = b) is as follows:
A combination of Equations [11] and [13] results in a new relationship in order to measure the internal pressure
Therefore, the internal pressure of the NEEM can be determined by measuring the tangential strain on the external boundary (by electrical strain gauge), the elastic modulus, and the internal and external radius of the pipe.
Laboratory tests
In the current investigation, nine thick-walled pipes of four different types of materials i.e. aluminum, concrete, steel, and high-strength plastic (PP_R) were selected. The pipes were open at the top and had varying diameters and elastic moduli. Table III shows the geometry and the mechanical properties of the pipes.
An electrical strain gauge was attached to the exterior of each pipe using CN adhesive and then loaded by the pressure expansion from the NEEM. Figsures 2 and 3 show the strain gauges attached to the aluminum (sample NA2) and concrete (sample NC1) pipes respectively. The figures also show the two types of electrical strain gauge (TML) Further, to eliminate the thermal effect, a dummy gauge was utilized on the main strain gauges (Figure 4).
Tangential strains on the external pipe wall were recorded at different times. Figure 5 shows the data obtained for each of the pipes, as well as data from other scientific studies (Zhongzhe et al., 1988).
The above data were recorded for 20 and 30 hours for the concrete and the high strength plastic (PP_R) pipes and the aluminum and the steel pipes, respectively.
Experimental model
The physical modelling proved that the hole pressure depends on the hole diameter, the time, and the elastic modulus. In other words, the hole pressure function is given by:
where P is the pressure exerted by the NEEM, t is the time, d is the hole diameter, and E is the elastic modulus. All of the acquired data were converted into logarithmic form, and then a linear multiple parameter regression was utilized as:
The hole pressure function can therefore be written as:
Equation [18] is another form of the following relationship:
where a0 is a constant value and could be replaced by log k, which is 10a0, (a0 = log k). As such, Equation [19] can be rewritten as:
Analysing the matrix of coefficients yielded a correlation of 0.935. For determining the NEEM pressure, the proposed experimental model is as follow:
where P is the pressure accruing from the NEEM in megapascals, t is the time in hours, d is the hole diameter in metres, and E is Young's modulus in gigapascals.
The behaviour of the above pressure against that of the hole diameter with a constant modulus of elasticity (70 GPa) has been shown in a graph with three different loading times (Figure 6). Again, the same analysis (NEEM pressure against the Young's modulus) was carried out with a constant hole diameter (40 mm), which is also indicated graphically (Figure 7).
The accuracy of the proposed model could be proved by comparing the experimental and the estimated data. As Figure 8 shows, this model has a high degree of agreement so far as the experimental data are concerned.
The thick-walled cylinder model was developed with the aim of measuring the pressure exerted by NEEM in pipes of various materials and diameters. A generic NEEM was used for internal loading of the pipes, and electrical strain gauges were applied for recording the tangential strain. A new experimental model is suggested for determining the pressure, taking into account the multiple regression parameters with high correlation coefficient. The proposed model has three independent parametersthe hole diameter, the loading time, and the Young's modulus.

Food Habits

Civettictis civetta is omnivorous. It consumes mainly wild fruit, carrion, rodents, insects (crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, and termites), eggs, reptile, and birds. The African civet is able to eat items that are usually poisnous or distasteful to most mammals, including the fruit of Stychnos, millipedes, and highly-decayed carrion. Civets do not use their paws for catching prey; instead, they overpower the prey with their teeth. Civets display various hunting behaviors. The prey may be shaken so violently that the spinal column is broken or a rodent may be bitten and thrown around. (Animal Breeders 1999, Richardson and Levitan 1994, Schliemann 1990)

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A great little eventIn full: With only 80 odd runners this was a small event, which is a shame because I found it to be well organised with a good route giving most a chance of a PB.My only grumble, as has been mentioned by others was the shock of the finishing line. A sign giving distance to the finish would have been better.Date of review: October 24, 2010
In short: A gem of a raceIn full: Ok, this race wasn't the reason for a 290 mile trip from the West Midlands, but in future years I may well just do the journey to run this event again. I absolutely loved it. It had everything, lots of runners of different standards, PB potential but with enough challenges to make you feel you had to work hard for it, unusual wildlife to run away from and a band playing out on the course. Friendly atmosphere too and unbelievable value for money. I can thoroughly recommend this race.Date of review: August 2, 2010
In short: Lovely Half Marathon that tests your mettleIn full: I ran this as my first HM last year and could only remember the uphill bits because it is a testing course for someone looking to get a good time. Came back this time round to see if I could better my performance and knocked about 28 seconds off, so it does have PB potential.The organisation is excellent and value for money is exceptional as I ran the Shifnal 10K in January and got discounted entry. I would recommend this to anyone, if this is your first HM, be realistic about your projected finish time and you'll enjoy it. The only down side and this is nothing to do with the race is that it really deserves more support. I would say there was up to 200 runners today and it would be nice to see some more out supporting the work of the school and the committee in raising money for a local hospice. Keep up the good work, it is a very good event.Date of review: July 4, 2010
In short: Charming little race now needs to up it's game as it becomes more popularIn full: It's a good course, fast and definite PB potential in the right conditions, which today definitely wasn't the case.The start needs a rethink, the number of entrants they are dealing with means what have sufficed in the past just won't do. The location isn't the problem, there's plenty of room but 4 or 5 boards 10metres apart with projected finish times on to show the racers where to be on the start would help ensure slower runners don't get caught in the stampede at the front. The relay and 5k, valuable to the whole ambience of the day, are lower priority events so put them another 50 metres down the road until the 10K runners are sorted then bring the others up to the back of the 10K. A separate start by the mayor if necessary. And finally, the bell doesn't work, unless the mayor decides to really give it some welly next year.Otherwise, this is a loveable event, I like the route, the race has a nice atmosphere and ties in to support the school fete. With the improvements necessary this will still be one of my favourite efforts.Date of review: June 27, 2010
In short: A tough run, on course organisation was great,thank you marshalls and support crewIn full: The good: Parking, on course organisation by the marshalls and support crews at the water stops. Good support in Welford too.The bad: Provision of energy drinks and water. Value for money considering you end up with a medal, banana and a cup of water at the finish.The rest: My first marathon and despite the fact that training went well, I wasn't set for what unfolded on the day. The hills on the route sucked the life out of me, as did the Greenway, which was torturous. There was enough going on in the town for the family which was a bonus.I may do this again, but only if I don't have an alternative. Ashby provides a 20 mile race that provides excellent value for money, a challenging course and brilliant on course drink support and proves what can be done on a budget.Date of review: April 26, 2010
In short: Fantastic event. If only all races were run this way.In full: First attempt at this distance and a challenging course. The organisation was excellent, regular feedback by Tim on the RW forum kept us all up to date. Everything about it was top notch. Marshalls were encouraging and the support crews on the drinks stations were exceptional. Gels, chocolate and jelly babies available at most points. RSM, take a look at this event and use a similar structure to support your entrants. Date of review: March 21, 2010
In short: A good introduction to cross country racingIn full: This was my first cross country so I was a little apprehensive about what to expect. I shouldn't have had any concerns though as this was a well organised event, providing a challenging, but enjoyable run through the Shropshire countryside. Another excellent fundraising event from Idsall School. Roll on the Steeplechase in July!Date of review: January 31, 2010
In short: Generally well organised by a friendly and supportive team, thank you.In full: A really entertaining race with some challenging little hills to overcome. Only gripe is when I tried to get a sensible start position I found that I'm surrounded by, or behind people looking to take a lot longer. With the increasing popularity of this and similar races, some form of starting pen becomes a must.Date of review: September 6, 2009
In short: For my 1st HM this was no walk in the park. That said, well organised, challenging route, Will be back again next yearDate of review: July 5, 2009
In short: My first race and the yardstick to which all those that follow will be measured against. Thoroughly enjoyable event and I'll be back in 2010.In full: When I first started running for the sake of running and to enter some races, I chose this as my debut event because of the very positive remarks it received in earlier years. It met my expectations in all respects and made all of the training thoroughly worth while. The high standard of organisation, friendly staff and course marshalls, along with plenty of support along the route and onsite entertainment all came together to make this a special day.Date of review: May 10, 2009

John 8
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." (8:58)Jesus' climactic reply, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am," was nothing less than a claim to full deity. The Lord once again took for Himself the sacred name of God (see the discussion of 8:24 in chapter 29 of this volume). Obviously, as the eternal God (John 1:1–2), He existed before Abraham's time. Homer Kent explains, "By using the timeless 'I am' rather than 'I was,' Jesus conveyed not only the idea of existence prior to Abraham, but timelessness—the very nature of God himself (Exod. 3:14)" (Light in the Darkness [Grand Rapids: Baker, 1974], 128–29).

Tuna Noodle Casserole 2.0
Recipe courtesy of Martie Duncan
- Food Network Star
Not your mother's tuna casserole or the one from the friendly box, this upgraded recipe calls for decadent tuna belly layered in an ultra[-rich cream sauce. Layered like lasagna, you can make this in individual ramekins or molds, or you can make it in a casserole dish.]
- Olive oil, for greasing
- Butter, for greasing
- Noodles:
- Salt
- 1 box lasagna noodles
- Sauce:
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup seafood stock, plus more if needed
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- Slight pinch nutmeg
- 6 ounces canned white tuna in spring water, drained
- 2 cups frozen early peas
- Topping:
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, stems removed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Assembly:
- 8 ounces canned tuna belly fillets in olive oil, drained
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a sheet pan with olive oil. Butter 4 to 6 ramekins or a casserole dish. Set aside.
For the noodles: Put a pot of salted water on to boil. Drop in 6 to 8 lasagna noodles, taking care not to break them. Cook to al dente according to package directions. Do not overcook. Remove the noodles to the greased sheet pan one at a time. The olive oil will keep the noodles from sticking. If you are using ramekins or molds, cut the cooked noodles to a size that will fit with a circle cutter. If you are using a casserole dish, you can cut the noodles to the correct size with a knife or kitchen shears.
For the sauce: Put the milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring just before boiling. Remove from the heat.
In a large skillet or saucepan, sweat the onions in 3 tablespoons of the butter. Do not allow to brown. Add the flour to form a paste. Cook until a pale blonde color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scalded but cooled milk to the roux a little at a time, whisking to keep from clumping. Add the seafood stock, whisking it in a little at a time. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly and scraping the bottom to prevent scorching. Reduce the heat to low. Add the Parmesan. Add more seafood stock if the sauce is too thick, whisking in a little at a time. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, thyme, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, canned white tuna and peas.
For the topping: Put the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, butter, parsley and salt and pepper to taste into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine well.
To assemble: Layer lasagna style, alternating the noodles, sauce and tuna belly fillets, ending with a bit of the sauce on top. Add the topping, making sure to get the topping all the way to the edges of the container.
Place the ramekins or casserole on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown on top, about 35 minutes.
This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

The hype cycle is beginning to turn on stereo-3D, as the first products are hitting the market and broadcast coverage is starting. Debates are beginning to rage on the problems and health risks of stereo-3D, and indeed whether 3D adds anything at all to the movie experience. Nevertheless, it does add immersion experience to video games.
"Many of these problems are caused by trying to shoe-horn the wide variety of visual cues into depth perception solely by stereoscopy. Those contradictions are understood to cause eyestrain. However, source material that is computer-generated does not have such problems and can be pre-compensated," said Paul Gray – director of European TV research at DisplaySearch.
The noise from the Hollywood PR machine has, according to the analyst, distracted the public from the quieter revolution in CGI (computer generated images) movies and especially gaming. Gaming is immersive which plays to 3D's strengths, and to me as a non-gamer the added perception from 3D has made it far easier and more natural to play, the analyst indicated. Stereo-3D driving games allow me to sense my position on the road in a natural way, for example. Furthermore, gaming is much more a solitary activity, so obstacles like glasses compatibility are much less significant, asserts Mr. Gray.
The sheer cost of producing good quality movies in 3D will always inhibit their availability – let alone ordinary broadcast TV which works on a fraction of the budget per minute of final content. However, 3D can be built into the creation of games, since they inherently work in a virtual model of solid space.
"So after an initial investment, my guess is that producing 3D games would incur a significantly lower on-cost per game than movies. Therefore, we should look more towards gaming to be the driver of 3D," concluded the DisplaySearch analyst.

About the Author: Patricia N. Moller serves as the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Guinea.
As the June 27 presidential election approaches, there is a sense of excitement and expectation in the air in Guinea and the feeling is infectious. Unlike past elections when irregularities and a heavily tilted playing field caused widespread cynicism and despair, now there seems to be a strong belief that this election can be different and that the people of Guinea have the will -- and the electoral voice -- to make it so.
I recently spoke to a group of political party members participating in a "Campaigning 101" election seminar at our Embassy. Some of these participants had been imprisoned for their political beliefs. Others had been victims of a violent crackdown at a gathering of thousands of opposition members last September, where over a hundred demonstrators were killed, a thousand more were injured, and scores of women were raped in broad daylight by the security forces of the former dictator Captain Moussa Dadis Camara. Now these same people were planning and supporting campaigns for the highest office in the land. They were drawing strength from their struggle and seemed determined to build a new tomorrow from the experience of their shared tragedy.
One woman sat in the front of the room, her bright pink traditional boubou dress proclaiming her irrepressible spirit. This woman was a victim of those terrible events last September. But now she stood strong and resolute. What struck me most about this courageous woman was that she refused to be defeated by the violence she had suffered; she would work to make this election reflect her own hopes for the future. She saw this democratic process as the antidote to the ills of her country, and it inspired me as it did those around her. Nor was she alone. There were others in the room who had similar stories.
My message to them was simple. This is your opportunity to shape your future and secure your place among the peaceful, prosperous, and politically stable countries of the world. Whether you or the candidate you support are victorious or not, a free, fair, and peaceful election leading to democratic governance makes each of you a winner. You all win because democracy is about a process, not a person.
Embracing this message about process and democracy, the participants in our seminar worked across party lines, developing an action plan which affirms respect for election results and endorses non-violent campaigning. They even pledged to organize and host candidate debates. An atmosphere of hope is unfolding in Guinea because the people themselves, who have suffered injustice for so long, are determined to bid for a better future.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Dear Ambassador Moller,
First election since 1958...That's got to put pressure on folks to get it right and transparent in the results.
I don't know how you feel about being a midwife to the birth of a democracy, but being witness to history has to be pretty special when you are part of it.
I wish folks all the best in realizing their hopes and aspirations.
Best regards,
