Sheldon Whitehouse Quotes
When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn't just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms.
How arrogant - how very far from humility - would be the self-satisfied, smug assurance that God, a tidy-up-after-us God will come and clean up our mess? Hope for a nanny God, who will with a miracle grant us amnesty from our folly - thats not aligned with either history or the text of the Bible.
When counting on learning from innovation, there are great successes but also failures. The Wright Brothers invented the aircraft and started an amazing process of innovation, where we now have planes that carry 500 passengers. Along the way there were some silly looking vehicles that crashed early on.
Five states - Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois and North Carolina - have been identified by the EPA as contributing significantly to Rhode Island pollution. As of 2010, 284 tall smokestacks - stacks over 500 feet - were operating in the United States: needles injecting poison into the atmosphere.
Rhode Island works hard to reduce air pollution in our communities. We passed laws to prohibit cars and buses from idling their engines and to retrofit school buses with diesel pollution controls. But there is only so much a single state can do, particularly against out-of-state pollution.
In the long term, a robust health IT network will support personalized treatment that adheres to proven best practices, and adapts to your personal health circumstances. The time will come when, whatever illness you may have, for your body type and health history, there will 'be an app for that' to keep you on your best path to wellness.

An Eskimo tribe inhabiting the N. W. coast of Alaska from the mouth of Nushagak r. S. W. to teh valley of Ugashik, extending E. to the highlands (Dall in Cont. N. A. Ethnol., 1, 19, 1877). They numbered only 767 in 1890. They dwell on the coast, hunting the walrus and occasionally putting out to sea in pursuit of wales. Although Christians, they retain their native beliefs and customs, resembling their neighbors in dress, except that they use reindeer skins for winter garments. They carve ivory as skillfully as the northern tribes. Subdivisions are the Kiatagmiut, Ugagogmiut, and Ugashigmiut. The villages are Igagik, Ikak, Kingiak, Paugwik, Ugashik, and Unangashik.

Contact Add Conversation Participants Add View Contacts Select participants to add to this conversation NAME TITLE COMPANY Participants You Subject:43314 Message Email me a copy of this message FULL DESCRIPTION Introduction/BackgroundAutophagy is primarily a protective process for the cell, but it can also play a role in cell death. For example, autophagy is vital for embryonic developments, and can prevent cancer cells from spreading while deregulated autophagy was suggested to play a role in autism. Although autophagy is highly regulated, controlled by both positive and negative regulators little is known about the mechanisms that govern balanced autophagy in health.Aims/HypothesisConsequently, there is no targeted pharmacological solution for diseases that are attributed to dysregulation in autophagy.ResultsIn this technology, a way of modulating autophagy is introduced, via the newly identified death-associated protein 1 (DAP1) which serves as autophagy suppressor. DAP1 is a direct substrate of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). mTOR serves as the cells' integrator by combining inputs from upstream pathways thus it plays a key role in the life of the cell and affects many fundamental cellular functions. This discovery opens a new window of treating autophagy related diseases.This technology presents DAP1, a novel substrate of mTOR that negatively regulates autophagy. Initially, a link of DAP1 to autophagy was apparent in that its knockdown enhanced autophagy flux. Also, it displayed a rapid decline in its phosphorylation in response to amino acid starvation. Next, by mapping the phosphorylation sites and analyzing phosphorylation mutants it has been demonstrated that DAP1 is functionally silenced in growing cells via mTOR-dependent phosphorylation on Ser3 and Ser51. Last, Inactivation of mTOR during starvation caused a rapid reduction in these phosphorylation sites and converted the protein into an active suppressor of autophagy.ConclusionWe have elucidated a target for drug design to treat a diverse set of diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and cellular aging.Relevance/OpportunityPlease enquire regarding licensing or codevelopment partnerships quoting reference no. 1697.

I was mis-sold a personal pension by the director of an IFA-regulated investment company. The company has gone into liquidation and I have suffered a severe loss. The advice was flawed in many respects, the director lacking experience in dealing with funds of this size. The company's professional indemnity cover being insufficient, I have been advised informally to sue the director personally, notwithstanding incorporation. Can I do this?
Of course, a director is very rarely going to be personally liable. His actions being taken on behalf of the company, it is the company that is liable, not the director. There

Confusions of Pleasure by Timothy Brook
Book DescriptionThe Ming dynasty was the last great Chinese dynasty before the Manchu conquest in 1644. During that time, China, not Europe, was the center of the world: the European voyages of exploration were searching not just for new lands but also for new trade routes to the Far East. In this book, Timothy Brook eloquently narrates the changing landscape of life over the three centuries of the Ming (1368-1644), when China was transformed from a closely administered agrarian realm into a place of commercial profits and intense competition for status. "The Confusions of Pleasure" marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue duree in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life. Peppered with stories of real people and their negotiations of a rapidly changing world, this book provides a new way of seeing the Ming dynasty that not only contributes to the scholarly understanding of the period but also provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to Chinese history for anyone.

Troubled Empire, Paperback (March 2013)

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 284 reviews
Nice room. Clean and practical, but shuttle service didn't work. Called ahead to get information about the shuttle. Was told it arrived at the various terminals in 30 minute increments. Arrived at 8:00 p.m. Called again to find out exactly where to pick it up at terminal 3. Station 17-18. No shuttle arrived. Waited 40 minutes and took a cab. Tried to get the shuttle at 6:30 a.m. the following morning, It didn't turn up so took a cab again. Please do not advertise a shuttle service when the system doesn't work. I will report this information to Trivargo. Many foreign visitor rely on shuttle service.
Chose this hotel by location for ability to make an early morning flight. Food service in restaurant was good.
Stop ove with an early morning connection. Perfect rest site
Was ok however the concierge was rude and not very knowledgeable . Rooms were fine and clean- good enough for an overnight stay.
Service was excellent - the receptionist was thoughtful about asking what sort of room we were looking for (especially given proximity to the runway) and in booking a taxi for the next morning (when realizing that taxi fares were high, recommending the shuttle instead). Very comfortable for a night before a long flight.

1.1 Nouns and articles ANTE TODO A noun is a word used to identify people, animals, places, things, or ideas. Unlike English, all Spanish nouns, even those that refer to nonliving things, have gender. They are considered either masculine or feminine. As in English, nouns in Spanish also have number, meaning that they are either singular or plural. Spanish nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles el hombre the man Masculine Nouns ending in –oel chico the boy el pasajero the (male) passenger ending in –orel conductor the (male) driver el profesor the (male) professor ending in –istael turista the (male) tourist Nouns that refer to living things
1.1 Nouns and articles ending in –ala chica the girl la pasajera the (female) passenger ending in –orala conductora the (female) driver la profesora the (female) professor ending in –istala turista the (female) tourist Nouns that refer to living things Feminine Nouns la mujer the woman
1.1 Nouns and articles Nouns that refer to males, like el hombre, are generally masculine. Nouns that refer to females, like la mujer, are generally feminine. Many nouns that refer to male beings end in –o or –or. Their corresponding feminine forms end in –a and –ora, respectively. Spanish nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles The masculine and feminine forms of nouns that end in – ista, like turista, are the same, so gender is indicated by the article el (masculine) or la (feminine). Some other nouns have identical masculine and feminine forms. el joven the youth; the young man el estudiante the (male) student la joven the youth; the young woman la estudiante the (female) student Spanish nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles ending in –oel cuaderno the notebook el diario the diary el diccionario the dictionary el número the number ending in –mael problema the problem el programa the program ending in –sel autobús the bus el país the country Nouns that refer to nonliving things Masculine Nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles ending in –ala cosa the thing la escuela the school la grabadora the tape recorder la palabra the word ending in –ciónla lección the lesson la conversación the conversation ending in –dad la nacionalidad the nationality la comunidad the community Nouns that refer to nonliving things Feminine Nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles Certain noun endings are strongly associated with a specific gender, so you can use them to determine if a noun is masculine or feminine. Because the gender of nouns that refer to non- living things cannot be determined by foolproof rules, you should memorize the gender of each noun you learn. Spanish nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles It is helpful to memorize each noun with its corresponding article, el for masculine and la for feminine. Another reason to memorize the gender of every noun is that there are common exceptions to the rules of gender. Masculine noun ending in –a el mapa (map) Feminine noun ending in –o la mano (hand) Spanish nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles Nouns that end in a vowel form the plural by adding –s. el chico los chicos el diario los diarios la palabra las palabras el problema los problemas Nouns that end in a consonant add –es. el país los países el profesor los profesores Nouns that end in –z change the –z to –c, then add –es. el lápiz los lápices Plural of nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles You use the masculine plural form of the noun to refer to a group that includes both males and females. 1 pasajero + 2 pasajeras = 3 pasajeros 2 chicos + 2 chicas = 4 chicos ¡ATENCIÓN! When a singular noun has an accent mark on the last syllable, the accent is dropped from the plural form. la lección las lecciones el autobús los autobuses Plural of nouns
1.1 Nouns and articles ANTE TODO As you know, English often uses definite articles (the) and indefinite articles (a, an) before nouns. Spanish also has definite and indefinite articles. Unlike English, Spanish articles vary in form because they agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. Spanish articles
1.1 Nouns and articles Spanish has four forms that are equivalent to the English definite article the. You use definite articles to refer to specific nouns. Feminine Singular la computadora the computer Plural las computadoras the computers Masculine Singular el diccionario the dictionary Plural los diccionarios the dictionaries Definite articles
1.1 Nouns and articles Spanish has four forms that are equivalent to the English indefinite article, which according to context may mean a, an, or some. You use indefinite articles to refer to unspecified persons or things. Masculine Singular un pasajero a (one) passenger Plural unos pasajeros some passengers Feminine Singular una fotografía a (one) photograph Plural unas fotografías some photographs Indefinite articles
1.1 Nouns and articles ¿el, la, los o las? 1._____ chico 2._____ chica 3._____ maleta 4._____ cuadernos 5._____ lápiz 6._____ mujeres ¡INTÉNTALO! Provide a definite article for each noun in the first column and an indefinite article for each noun in the second column. ¿un, una, unos o unas? 1._____ autobús 2._____ escuela 3._____ computadora 4._____ hombre 5._____ señoras 6._____ lápices

COmmercial Solar DESIGN SOLUTIONS
What type of commercial solar installation is right for your business? Our expert team of solar project designers and engineers will examine your company's facilities to determine the right approach. We manage and streamline the entire commercial solar process, from the initial evaluation and financing to construction and maintenance, maximizing savings for your organization.
Our initial analysis of your facility, as well as a preliminary project design recommendation, comes standard in our free evaluation.
Rooftop Solar Installations
Large rooftops are the most popular locations for commercial solar installations. A company with a large and flat rooftop, particularly if constructed within the last five years, likely has a great foundation for deploying a large-scale solar project. Solar technology offers the perfect solution to maximize the value of these underutilized spaces.
Large, flat and unobstructed rooftops allow for operational efficiency and consistency in solar system design, construction, and maintenance. Those benefits often translate into lower total system costs and/or a lower price of solar electricity. In addition, large rooftops are usually unshaded by trees or neighboring buildings, allowing for steady and high solar system yields over time.
A large, flat rooftop provides a solid foundation for achieving an excellent ROI on your commercial solar project.
- Superior project ROI
- Consistent roofing substrate allows for smooth and streamlined installation
- Unshaded area provides steady production yields over time
- Potential summer insulation benefits lead to reduced air conditioning expenses
- Great opportunity to utilize underutilized space
- Demonstrate strong commitment to environmental sustainability
As a commercial solar leader, we have designed and installed hundreds of rooftop installations for some of the world's largest retailers and manufacturers like IKEA, Nestle Purina, and Safeway. These efficient installations generate clean electricity and financial returns for decades.
Solar Carports
Tired of using your shirt to open your scorching-hot car door? Solar carports not only keep workers' cars cool from the hot summer sun, but also help businesses save money on rising energy bills.
Solar carports are the preferred solution for companies without large flat rooftops or open ground space. In addition, solar carports provide a high-profile, public demonstration of a company's commitment to environmental sustainability and a perfect complement to electric vehicle charging stations for visitors and employees.
Although solar carport installations are typically more expensive than rooftop or ground-mount installations, they provide an elegant solution for companies, schools, and government organizations without roof space that are looking to harness the sun's energy and save money.
- Allows organizations without large rooftops to achieve the financial benefits of solar technology
- Serves as a public demonstration of environmental sustainability
- Provides an ideal complement to electric vehicle charging stations
- Utilizes existing space; no additional land required
- Keeps employees' cars shaded on hot, sunny days!
We have designed and installed dozens of solar carports for schools, businesses, and government organizations. These high-profile installations are not only appreciated by employees and customers, but also generate decades of clean energy and financial returns.
Ground-Mounted Solar Projects
Ground-mounted solar projects often achieve the highest ROI by allowing for optimal system sizing, design and layout, improving both constructability and long-term energy yields.
The ground is a reliable substrate for deploying mounting structures and solar panels. In addition, a ground-mount project provides ample space for on-site construction team movement and logistics, allowing for safe and efficient installation processes. There are also significant wire management and facility integration advantages. Similar to rooftop projects, ground-mounted projects are typically placed in open fields, avoiding any potential sources of shading.
For those reasons, ground mounted solar projects are often the most efficient to build and the most economical type of commercial solar installation.
- Highest potential ROI
- Solid and reliable foundation for large-scale projects.
- Wide and unobstructed operational space allows for optimal system design
- Typically efficient and streamlined installation process.
- Easy access for operations and maintenance team post-construction
- Strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
As a commercial solar leader, we have designed and installed some of the largest commercial ground-mounted systems in America. These systems are particularly popular among our agriculture customers, such as Dole Plantation, Dupont Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed Company, and Bonipak.

By Sean Murphy, Associated Press Writer
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. Firefighters mopped up hot spots Friday from wind-driven wildfires that injured at least 34 people in western and central Oklahoma and destroyed more than 100 homes.
Fires across the state line in Texas killed two people.
The fires began Thursday afternoon along Interstate 35, the main north-south highway through central Oklahoma. They continued to burn past nightfall, fueled by ferocious winds and an abundance of dry, early spring grass and brush. But lighter winds in the region made things easier for firefighters Friday in both states.
"We have in excess of 100 homes that have been destroyed statewide," Emergency Management Director Albert Ashwood said Friday morning. Officials said the Midwest City fire apparently started at a wrecker service, but the exact cause of it and other fires was still under investigation.
Interstate 35 was back open Friday after being closed for several hours in various locations because of the fires.
Residents who were evacuated while the fires raged were allowed to return home. For Sammetra Christmon of Midwest City, there was only a blackened, smoking ruin where her home had been.
"The memories, the photos, this is the house I have worked all my life for," she said Friday as she and her family picked through the smoldering debris. Her 9-year-old daughter was taking it hard.
"She's devastated, just in tears this morning," Christmon said. "This is the only house she's ever known."
Water-dropping helicopters couldn't assist the ground effort Thursday because of winds that gusted to more than 60 mph in some areas.
"Anytime you have high winds and low humidity it's just the perfect storm for wildfires, and that's what's happening here," Ashwood said.
In northern Texas, firefighters said blazes raced across thousands of parched acres Thursday, overrunning the towns of Sunset and Stoneburg and forcing the temporary evacuations in several others.
Family members of former WFAA-TV reporter Matt Quinn and his wife, Cathy, told the station the couple was killed and their son was injured when a fire overtook their home near Montague, which is about 80 miles northwest of Dallas. The son was treated for burns at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas and was in fair condition, the station reported.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said a firefighter helping battle a blaze in Lincoln County, northeast of Oklahoma City, was hospitalized with burns and someone was severely injured after losing control of a vehicle on a smoke-covered road in Stephens County in southern Oklahoma.
The other injuries ranged from minor to moderate, officials said.
At the Midwest City Community Center, where about 75 residents flocked after flames threatened their homes, Kanisha Busby waited for her parents to arrive. Their home, where she grew up, was destroyed but nobody was hurt.
"It's hard, but all that stuff is material things that can be replaced; lives can't be replaced," Busby said. Residents were given sufficient warning to evacuate, and her father also managed to save his dog, she said.
Roland and Tricia Smith wondered whether their home survived. She said the fire engulfed parts of their neighborhood.
"We thought we were safe, but in 30 minutes the fire went everywhere," she said. "I consider myself lucky we're safe."
Weather conditions improved after nightfall, but winds weren't expected to diminish substantially until Friday afternoon.
Susan Staggs, who lives near Midwest City, said her home was saved because a pile of gravel and dirt from her neighbor's driveway project served as a firebreak. But the neighbor's home was destroyed.
Staggs said she and her neighbors who gathered at an evacuation point Thursday night could see the glow of flames, not knowing whether their homes were being engulfed.
"After dark you could just see the flames crossing the road," she said. "I had two cats in my house and my horse and goats were still there." Her animals were OK, she said Friday, but her neighbor lost a barn and the horse that was in it.

Sony Xperia U Android phone
Sony Xperia U review: A compact prepaid Android phone that offers good value for money
- Good build quality
- Intuitive user interface
- Decent battery life
- Limited memory
- Occasionally sluggish
- Outdated Android software
Bottom Line
The Sony Xperia U is an entry level model targeted at pre-paid users. When you consider its price, the overall package of excellent build quality, good battery life and intuitive software represents good value. There are a couple of drawbacks, the main one being a lack of memory, but if you can get your head around that, the Xperia U offers excellent value for money.
Price$ 299.00 (AUD)
Sony's Xperia U may be the baby of the company's new NXT series of Android phones but it certainly doesn't look out of place among more expensive alternatives. A compact design, good build quality and a functional user interface are only let down by a lack of internal memory and an older version of Google's Android software.
Small in size but not in quality
The Sony Xperia U is constructed from plastic but build quality is one of its highlights.
The Sony Xperia U is an entry level pre-paid smartphone but its design is very reminiscent of far more expensive models, notably the company's flagship Xperia S and the mid-range Xperia P. It follows the same design principles as these handsets — a square, block shape with sharp corners, a slightly curved back and a distinctive transparent band below the screen.
The Xperia U is constructed from plastic but build quality is one of its highlights. There are no creaks or rattles when the casing is pressed, we love the rubber-style finish on the back cover and the buttons are well placed for single-handed use. Despite its the sharp corners, the Xperia U's small size is a huge plus for ergonomics as the phone fits comfortably in your hand.
The Xperia U's transparent band below the screen has back, home and menu labels printed on it, but the keys themselves are the small dots above the band. The bar is simply backlit label for these buttons. The backlight of the bar changes colour depending on the theme you have set in the Xperia U's software and it will also display colours to match images you're viewing in the gallery. Further, the plastic cap below the transparent band is interchangeable. Sony includes an extra one in the sales package and also sells multiple coloured caps as optional accessories.
The Sony Xperia U has a compact 3.5in screen with a resolution of 480x854, which to be fair is quite impressive for a budget handset. The screen isn't going to blow you away and does lack the vivid brightness of the "WhiteMagic" panel on the Xperia P, but it has reasonable viewing angles and displays crisp text. In fact, the pixel density of 280 ppi (pixels per inch) makes it one of the better screens we've seen on a lower-end Android smartphone.
Gingerbread a self-admitted disadvantage
ICS has been in existence since late last year, so the wait is completely unacceptable.
The Sony Xperia U runs the 2.3 Gingerbread version of Android which Sony admits is a disadvantage at a retail level. The company has promised an upgrade to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the near future, but considering it has been in existence since late last year, the wait is completely unacceptable.
Given the Xperia U's positioning as a low-end, prepaid smartphone, however, the lack of Ice Cream Sandwich software is a little easier to take, especially when Sony's UI overlay is one of the best we've used. There are some very appreciated features including an app draw can be sorted by multiple parameters, a lock screen allows you to swipe directly into new messages and missed calls, and Sony's intuitive quick settings widget and power saver apps. The only downside is Sony's insistence of preloading the Xperia U with so many apps, most of which are useless.
There are a few other negatives, but most of them need to be put into perspective when you consider the low asking price. Performance is largely smooth enough but there are times, often when using basic features, that the Xperia U's 512MB of RAM seems limited. We wouldn't exactly describe the phone as slow but it's certainly not fast, either. The biggest issue, however, is the lack of internal memory. With only 4GB of storage available and no microSD card slot, we suspect many users could be forced to look elsewhere.
The small 3.5in screen also means Sony's default keyboard on the Xperia U is small and cramped. The inclusion of Swype like functionality that allows you to draw over letters to type does help immensely, but we found it less efficient than Swype.
Decent camera, good battery life
The Xperia U takes decent photos, but image noise was still prominent in most of our shots.
The Sony Xperia U has a 5-megapixel camera but it still uses Sony's Exmor R image sensor. Sony claims the sensor produces images with higher sensitivity and less image noise in low light areas. The Xperia U takes decent photos, but image noise was still prominent in most of our shots. Colour reproduction is notable, however, and the detail in images is impressive for a 5-megapixel camera.
The Xperia U also has a VGA front facing camera for video calling, which works well for third party video apps like Skype and Tango but captures mediocre still photos. Unlike some of Sony's other Xperia models, the Xperia U lacks a HDMI-out port and doesn't have NFC connectivity. Neither are huge disadvantages at this price.
The Xperia U's battery life is perhaps its most impressive feature. We easily managed to pump out a full day of use out of the phone before it needed recharging. We suspect most users should be able to slightly better that given we consider ourselves heavy users.
The Sony Xperia U is available now through Crazy Johns for $0 on the $15 value plan and sells outright through Sony Centres ($299) and Dick Smith Stores ($289).

For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

African Expansion
Friday December 4, 2015
Unilever, one of the world's largest consumer goods manufacturers, is expanding its business in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to
. Its products now reach 30–40 percent of that continent's population. That's 300–400 million people.
"While in the past Unilever has imported a lot of its products into Africa, it is now expanding its manufacturing base on the continent," Earl Nurse writes for
. "The company has recently opened an ice cream factory in South Africa, a mayonnaise factory in Côte d'Ivoire, and a plant producing Vaseline in Kenya."
Unilever's Executive Vice President for Africa Bruno Witvoet says in the article that he sees opportunity in Africa for manufacturing growth. He also says building manufacturing capacity domestically in Africa is an important element for businesses that want to reach that market.
Last month,
The Economist
painted a different picture of manufacturing in Africa, suggesting that it had missed its chance at a manufacturing boom. The publication cites the UN's Economic Commission for Africa, which reports that, from 1980 to 2013, the African manufacturing sector's contribution to the continent's total economy actually declined from 12 percent to 11 percent, "leaving it with the smallest share of any developing region."
Although it isn't unusual for countries with growing economies to deindustrialize and shift to a more service-based economy,
The Economist
suggests, many African countries are still poor. If there aren't factories in those countries, it means there aren't higher-paying factory jobs.
According to
The Economist
, Africa presents three distinct disadvantages for manufacturing:
It has a weak infrastructure: Electricity is expensive, roads are inadequate, and ports are overly congested.
It has a lot of natural resources, which may seem like a benefit, but it actually has had some negative consequences for manufacturing. Although the continent's economies have benefited in the past from the export of oil, diamonds, gold, and other commodities, they have been importing goods such as cars and appliances. Now, commodity prices have fallen, and local production of goods isn't adequate.
Lastly, Africa has a complicated geography. It contrasts with Asia, where there are leaders and followers. For example, in the 1970s, as Japan grew in its manufacturing sophistication, it moved its labor-intensive manufacturing to Taiwan. Now, "light manufacturing is leaving China for neighboring Bangladesh and Vietnam rather than distant Africa, despite its promise of plentiful cheap labor."
The Economist
article does highlight some bright spots in Africa's manufacturing, namely Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Rwanda. In Ethiopia, for example, the government has worked to attract foreign investment, and its manufacturing has grown more than 10 percent each year between 2006 and 2014. "Domestic firms learn from being in the same value chain as a foreign firm," says John Page, senior fellow, global economy and development for Brookings Institution. "Firms buying from local suppliers tend to raise local quality by sending managers and technicians to them. This helps them to produce more sophisticated goods."
Creating value via manufacturing
This week, we're examining the complexity of building manufacturing capacity in Africa—the lessons and the challenges. Let me present the simple definition of value creation, as it appears in the
APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework
: "Value creation is taking raw material or knowledge and converting it into a product or service that has more value to the customer than the original material or data. Value is created using transformational processes."
Although the potential consumer and labor pool is tremendous on the African continent, significant challenges remain. Harnessing the power of value creation and building systems and infrastructure around that idea, similar to what Unilever has done, could help expand enterprises and economies in Africa. Workforce education remains a vital element of this kind of expansion. The
APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management program
provides professionals with the critical ability to understand and evaluate production and inventory activities within a company's global operations.

Dear Abe,
Things are going faster than you can imagine.
I do not think that Chinese and turkish are having the same reading than you. Looking at the massive investments they are bringing here.
We have job to do with spreading the APICS curriculum in Africa! SAPICS is doing a great job in South Africa.
Nothing elsewhere in the continent. We are not more than 10 CPIMs here. So let's give some signals in western Africa. Ready to go for it
Patrick Opono
February 22, 2016, 06:21 PM
True about the Statement in General. But However, the most critical Issue comes from Governments Willingness to create conditions allowing foreign/local Investments to flow. Countries in Sub saharan Africa Still have weak or non existant Industries, therefor no Internal Value Creation and resort to massive Importations. Good Policital Economies programs, strong agenda for attracting Foreing/private Investments, an adapated Education for the industrial need, Build STrong legal/Judiciary System to protect Industries, Infrastructure development (roads) are Most of the drivers to set basis for Manufacturing Industries. It is already happenning in Some African Countries, as stated in the Article, which is a sign of positivity.

Sustainable Society
What is sustainability and what does it look like?
Sustainability is a way to live within the spectrum of resources available. Sustainable development is development that takes care of the present population's needs without taking away resources from future generations. By using sustainable development, a society could use only the resources that are below or equal to the amount reproduced by the environment, leaving the Earth as they found it.
Transitions that would be needed to create this sustainable civilization would have to start first by the thinking of the people, the realization that if steps are not taken, the world our grand children live in will be very different then our own reality. The ever growing population is becoming too much for the Earth to provide resources for, so the population growth would have to cease. The amount of resource that a person uses on a day to day basis also needs to be lessened to a more sustainable amount. Transportation can be a key to reducing pollution, as well as finding greener ways to live and produce resources.
Our town recently put in recycling outlets to recycle paper, plastic and glass. It helps the environment to reuse resources instead of adding extra emissions to create more. It also benefits from the lack of waste storage.

Thanks for you Hub Page. But I think we are doomed anyway.
And I've been an optimist for most of my life. Keep the reactor in Japan in mind, that is our demise. It was fun while it lasted.

To the Editor Portero et al1 describe the first reported cases of serpiginous choroiditis secondary to Francisella tularensis and Bartonella henselae. The authors should be commended for looking for alternative infectious causes of serpiginous choroiditis such as F tularensis. However, their diagnosis of B henselae is questionable. The patient developed serpiginous choroiditis and had a reactive Mantoux test (18 mm) and IgG titers of 1:128 for B henselae. The patient received antituberculosis treatment and corticosteroids. After 3 months, the patient developed choroiditis in the other eye and was then treated with moxifloxacin hydrochloride for 1 month. The diagnosis of B henselae is based on the IgG titers of 1:128 and therapeutic response to moxifloxacin.

While many parents are fine on their own, having someone else to handle the household responsibilities can help to make adjustment to being a soon to be or new parent easier. Rather then worry about laundry or dirty dishes, parents can concentrate on the needs of their child.
Preparing for and having new baby in the family is one of the most special times in a parent's life, and as newest parents soon realize, babies require a lot of work.
Meeting the constant needs of a newborn involves time and often takes parents away from other responsibilities in the home
