Joseph Wright of Derby chronicled his personal and professional life in a group of insightful self-portraits. He painted at least seven of these highly personal works, which he kept until his death. Wright seems to have painted one every ten years, and this is the second in that 'series' made in his early thirties. At this time Wright was approaching the height of his fame for his conversation pieces and 'candlelight pictures'. In these inventive works he recorded scientific developments of the Industrial Revolution in scenes lit with evocative light from candles or fires. This work has long been out of public view, last being shown at the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition of 1888.

You know all this terrible pollution of air and water, and exploitation of workers to virtual slavery, and the rest of the horrors people in the US are complaining about as they are reduced to abused peasants? The fascists have been doing this to other countries for decades. And people did not know or did not care. The oligarchy is now colonizing the US. This is blowback like the CIA never even dreamed of -- some call it payback or karma.
Just negligence at it's most profound...
That should tell you all you need to know.
This is beyond outrageous!
The text of the piece definitely is damning to bushco, confirming what many of us have always felt: they either KNEW or SUSPECTED such an attack was coming and actually chose to ignore the info they had in favor of going to war in the Middle East. They allowed 3000 American deaths on 9/11 and countless hundreds of thousands more, both Americans and innocent civilians of both Afghanistan and Iraq, just to enrich themselves and their war machine cronies.
Such vile (or reordered, 'evil') actions will not go without retribution. Perhaps not in this lifetime, but there is blood on their hands and darkness in their souls, and karma WILL take care of them whether or not they are ever prosecuted for their crimes against humanity in this life.
psychologist threatened him that if he did not shut up aboutvthe threat, that they would write him up as "paranoid and delusional", which is NSA's way of circumventing the "No Fear Act" which garantees that whistle blowers will not be frivolously fired in retaliation for doing the right thing. He did not relent, so they wrote up bogus reports to deny him his clearance based on a non-existent mental illness and fired him because you can't work there without a clearance. They did the same to Russell Tice, another NSA whistle blower who attempted to report an NSA employee's collusion with Communist China, but the employee's mother was a high-ranking manager so NSA looked the other way concerning the issue and viciously persecuted Mr. Tice, using the same fraudulent psychological attack.
Pre 9/11, budget concerns loom large.
Post 9/11 any budget concerns go way, way out the window. (Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., etc..)
WTF??? Doesn't this appear a bit odd/ suspicious to anyone?
The Iranian Embassy capture showed not everyone was as prepared to make data unrecoverable.
For real villainy (and more stupidity) look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_electricity_crisis where my friends that worked for SoCal Edison criticized the management going along with those that forced the sale of IOUs (Investor Owned Utilities) to private owners, "piratizing" the industry, without any advantage whatsoever to the average customers and small investors that had stakes in "their" utilities. The thoroughly shameful ducking, dodging, and stalling by the Cheney/Bush castrated FERC, just furthered their goals as they did an estimated $40 billion to $45 billion damage to our economy.
"California had an installed generating capacity of 45GW. At the time of the blackouts, demand was 28GW." They totally fabricated blackouts in the winter, despite 38% idle capacity through phoney maintenance shutdowns (easily more than double the normal peak maintenance shutdowns).
They reacted stupidly, attacking Iraq as they had only wished they could, without at least a flimsy excuse, but to me, they were so focused on their other plans, that they cut every bit of infrastructure maintenance, research, and real security monitoring, that they were truly surprised. That despite many they refused to listen too, indeed actively censoring, who saw almost all of it coming.
but of course some will find all manner of evidence here that makes the brilliant white guys ( bush et all) the cause and execution of a terrorist act that was only surprising and shocking in its size and imagination...
Assume 111 slabs of concrete eveny spaced vertically on 410m, hovering in mid-air and only starting to fall when anything touches them from the top.
No energy is consumed by the shock from whatever falls on each storey.
The shock is considered purely plastic (i.e. no bouncing around).
Gravity is 9.81m/s^2
Hint: each storey's mass is added to the falling mass as it gets touched - this in itself slows down the fall.
Question: how long does it take for the building to fall to the ground?
(Secondary question, what is the height of the resulting pile based on the thickness of each storey?)
Now compare your result with the films you have seen of 911.
Remember: Pancake collapses consume energy at each storey to destroy support for said.
That energy is subtracted from the kinetic energy of whatever falls on the storey - essentially the fall is slowed down by the need to destroy what's in the way.
Don't believe whatever anyone tells you on face value: take Excel or OpenOffice Calc and do the math for yourself.
Yep, 9/11 was not just an attack. It was the greatest national security blunder (or setup) in the last 50 years.
1. His close family friends and financiers... THE BIN LADEN FAMILY... wouldn't have wanted a hair on his head hurt.
2. The Bin Ladens FINANCED Bush by bailing him out of his Arbusto Oil investment... Bush wasn't really concerned about Bin Laden.... but we ALREADY KNEW THAT.
and 3. BIN LADEN was a convenient distration for Bush/Cheney's BOMBIMG OF THE WTC ... so they could get into Afghanistan and BUILD UNOCAL'S "Trans-Afghanis tan Pipeline" from Turkmenistan/Uz ebekistan so they could ship their oil and natural gas to the Gulf.
Or, after slaughtering 3,000 people in the WTC, and slaughtering over 1 MILLION IRAQIS... did they fail at this, too?
Bush and Cheney, et al, are COLD BLOODED MASS-MURDERERS FOR PROFIT.
Indict! Arrest! IMPRISON SOCIOPATHS...NO W.
I fully understand the politics and the decision making process described in this article but there is no doubt in my mind that Bush knew and let it happen.

My lips purse quite a lot when I speak and even when I'm not doing anything. My mouth is getting more drawn in and I'd like to break this habit as even at rest I'm getting indentations from these muscle movements. When I last had botox there the injector only injected a tiny amount in one or 2 creases. But I have 3 big creases on each side of my lip. Also, the botox didn't last long Should I have 6 botox inections in each of the 6 creases in my lip? Should I have these injections every month?
Botox in the Upper Lip Wasn't Effective All over and Didn't Last Long. Should I Have More Injections and Have Them Once a Month?
Doctor Answers 8
Sounds like you have a tic issue or perhaps a facial spasm if your lips purse when you're
not doing anything..botox may work well in these instances but it often may be more than the lips that need treatment...it may carryover into the cheeks...ask your doctor to consider whether this may be the problem...if just the lips are the problem, then you have to understand that too much botox may interfere with your ability to enunciate and keep food/beverage in your mouth...for these reasons only a small amount of botox is advisable...but if you wait for two weeks, you can go back to your doctor and get some more...and then there's always a filler or laser to consider as additive therapy...good luck with your quest
Botox For the Upper Lip
Botox is usually injected to address the formation of horizontal forehead lines, crows feet and glabella frown lines. However it is not an ideal solution to treat wrinkles around the lips, especially since mouth muscles are needed to perform a lot of different functions. There are other dermal injections that don't target the muscles, but fill in the wrinkles instead. Radiesse is a filler that helps your skin actually synthesize new collagen in addition to filling in the creases. Also in some cases, Fraxel laser can be successful for the treatment of lip wrinkles. This also works by enabling your skin to create new collagen as well.
Web reference: http://www.finetouchdermatology.com/los-angeles-botox/
Botox for the vertical "smoker's" lines of the lips
Botox can be used off-label by physicians to minimize the lip lines, sometimes referred to as smokers lines. The muscle of the lip is circular around the mouth and relaxing it with botox will accomlish less pleating of the overlying skin during speech. Usually very few units are used, 1 to 2 units per site and only a couple of sites per lip. As you try to improve the aesthetic result you run the risk of flattening the lip too much so that you have problems enunciating all letters, opening to speak correctly and affecting your smile (not showing your upper teeth), have problems brushing your teeth and dribbling when trying to drink from a glass or straw. Fortunately these are not permanent side effects, and go away when the botox wears off (four months or so). For these reasons, the doctor needs to be conservative and 6 injections in each lip, depending on the dilution, volume and units used, may be too much.

Botox in the Upper Lip Wasn't Effective All over and Didn't Last Long. Should I Have More Injections and Have Them Once a Month?
I have used Botox and the newer Dysport and Xeomin to reduce lines around the lips and mouth for over 22 years. Use of neurotoxins, in this area IMHO, requires a conservative approach so the lines are softened but the patient can still use thier lips in the proper manner. Perhaps the dose needs to be adjusted and once you find the right MD to do this, a series of treatments at 3 month intervals would be suggested IMO.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Botox effectiveness in upper lip is variable
in my experience, the impact of botox for vertical upper lip furrows is variable. when it works, it's great but when it doesn't, one must resist the temptation to use more, lest three months of problems with function result.
other options that may help include fillers like juvederm, dermabrasion, and deeper chemical peels.
Web reference: http://www.drbarach.com
Be careful with Botox around the mouth
Botulinum toxin use around the mouth is effective must be done with caution. Too much medicine in this area can lead to very noticeable problems: drooling, asymmetric smile, etc. These problems will stick around until the medicine wears off in 3-5 months!
It is possible to get good results with the botox around the mouth, but you can't over do it. Make sure you are seeing an experienced injector. If you are not, or you aren't sure, seek a second opinion.
If the creases around your mouth are particularly stubborn, the answer is probably not more Botox, but more likely some other treatment. Dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, etc) may be helpful or perhaps a laser treatment or peel may help address the areas in question. Your physician should be able to give you a very clear plan for how to address your concerns.
Finally, if you are a smoker, you need to stop. Many patients spend hundreds of dollars trying to undo the damage done by their bad habit. Best Wishes!
Botox in the lips can be difficult
This is tough without a photo, but I would say this: injecting Botox into the mouth area needs to be done by extremely experienced injectors only. Injecting too much, or too often, or into the wrong spot can result in the mouth or lips not functioning properly, which will affect your speech, eating, and can even just drop the lips so you cannot move them. I do not recommend more for you, but rather, a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to assess what you have going on and see if perhaps fillers would be a better option. Monthly injections should absolutely not be considered without further assessment.

Well, it's not TwinCity liner, but more fun it is indeed. You just don't have to sit inside (too hot in front and too noisy in the back) but rather stay on the deck and enjoy the wind in your hair and water sprouts in face, once in a life time experience indeed!
We were wrapping up our visit in Vienna and, after deciding to make Bratislava our next destination, searched for transportation. We were intrigued at the prospect of booking a boat ride up the Danube.
Online booking was user friendly. Hubby and I received a senior discount and then another discount for booking online, and ended up paying only 32.4 euros...
This is exactly what it states I.e. A fast boat ride up the Danube --we went to Bratislava on the train and returned on the boat just at dusk which was very spectacular as we passed other river traffic at speed --as a veteran of Scottish west coast sailing if you want to see the sights from a boat then...
Early start to get the hydrofoil from platform 5 in Bratislava at 8.45. Already a queue when we arrived and people keen to sit at the front of the boat. We ended up at the back section which seemed OK til the engine started. Very very noisy. Just short of a 2 hour journey to Vienna. Not a lot to...
It's an old vessel that is overdue an refurbishment.
But it's worth a trip if you like odd travel or just need to get from Vienna to Bratislava quickly.
Get in early to get the best seats up front.
Stick your head out and have a look at the other hydrofoil when you meet up half way to get a...
It is more romantic to say than the travel itself. There are two ways to go from Veinna to Bratislava: train and boat. We picked the boat to have a different view. The views are very nice and charming, but the river is very dirty. You can see the woods and some pintoresque summer houses. The single ticket costs 25€...
What a great and fun way to travel from Vienna to Bratislava! We went on a day that was warm and had a bit of sprinkle, but that did not dampen our fun in the slightest. We passed the rain cloud quickly and then enjoyed the upstairs deck while we passed numerous fishing huts and castle ruins. This was so...
We had traveled in Europe on all types of transportation, so the high speed catamaran down the Danube to Vienna was a nice change. The trip is only 90 minutes long, smooth, clean and in air- conditioned comfort. The scenery on the river was nice, particularly the many fish camps lining the banks of the river.
We really enjoyed watching the boat arrive and depart whilst sitting and relaxing at the amazing terrace bar at the Bratislava ferry port by pier 5. We decided to take a trip and apart from the bit in a lock that they don't warn you about it was a great trip out. Would recommend it and also the brilliant and...
Get there earlier so you can get good seats in front of the boat with a good view. In general way below my expectations and a bit too expensive (38 eur return from Vienna) if you compare it to the bus prices (abou 1 eur return).

We have a group of 60 people that we would like to purchase one way tickets from Bratislava to Vienna leaving about 1 pm. Can you give me an idea of cost and timing?
Can I take a medium-sized rolling suitcase on board? We'd like to use the hydrofoil instead of a bus or train between cities, not just for a day trip.
which days does hydrofoil travel in september
Bratislava to Vienna by boat ... Are tickets available on the day?
i (2 people)want to catch the train from budapest to bratislava arriving about 12 noon and and the a ferry from bratislava to vienna arriving about 15.00 with 2 cases on 2 june i understand there are luggage restrictions so is this possible

Sen'Derrick Marks Leaves Comedic Mark on Media Days
According to Auburn's Sen'Derrick Marks, the Auburn Tigers and Florida Gators have a mutual hatred for one opponent in particular: Georgia.
Florida fans recall that the Gators' angst stems from a 42-30 loss that included a field-storming, penalty-laden Georgia touchdown celebration. Auburn's is just as embarrasing to their team: a game in which Bulldogs running back Knowshon Moreno ran for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Georgia's 45-20 win over Auburn.
"They beat us two years in a row, but last year they went black out." said Marks in reference to Georgia's all-black uniforms. "They danced on us, the mascot danced on us, the ball boy danced on us, and even the commentator did the soulja boy on us."
Despite his self-depreciating humor on the situation, Marks says he has a picture of Moreno on his refridgerator for motivation.

Downtown Miami's Residential Occupancy Rate Surges to 74% as Condos Fill-up
Miami's urban core bustling with full-time residents; heightened demand for downtown living fueling condo sales, retail business growth.
Press Release March 2010 | Download Occupancy Report March 2010
Following one of the most historic boom-turned-busts in U.S. housing market history, Downtown Miami's condo collapse has given way to new demand for urban living in an area previously considered to be a 9-to-5 business district. A new Residential Closings and Occupancy study by Goodkin Consulting/Focus Real Estate Advisors has found that 74% of the 22,079 residential units built in Downtown Miami since 2003 are currently occupied. This reflects a 12 percentage-point increase over the 62% occupancy rate reported in a similar baseline study completed in May 2009. Both reports were conducted in partnership with the Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA).

Centipede Pests??
About a week ago I saw a large black centipede crawling on my kitchen floor, it scared the bejesus outta me. I was barefoot and managed to kill it with a pot.
It was around 7-8 inches long and all black - including its legs.
Yesterday I was stepping out of my car and saw 2 centipedes of the same description crawling on the roof of my house.
I know a lot of centipedes are poisonous, and I don't want myself or my pets to be stung/bitten or whatever.
Is this something I should be worried about??
4 Attachment(s)
well, the good news is that centipedes do not normally cause any damage to homes and they eat other pests that DO.
there are some poisonous ones in your area. i use this site to identify bugs i do not recognize around here.
http://www.whatsthatbug.com/category...nd-millipedes/ this may help.
We get centipedes in the house here a lot. Big ugly mothers. Sometimes they get into the bed.
I was awakened one night about 4 a.m. by what felt like someone shoving a straight pin into my finger-my hand was under my pillow.
Then it started burning-all the way up to my shoulder. The top half of my arm felt like a muscle strain, my elbow felt like it was in a vice, and the lower half of my arm and finger felt like they were in boiling oil. My hand was throbbing so bad I thought it wa going to explode and my finger was so swollen I thought it would rip open.
If you look in Dangermouse's link, scroll down to "tropical centipede" to see what got me.
I could find anything to catch/kill it with, so I went out and spent the rest of the night on the couch-too much pain to go back to sleep. In the morning, I stripped the bed, stood the mattresses and box spring up on end and then I sprayed malathion along all the baseboards and the entire floor in the bedroom, sealed the door and windows and set off three bug bombs in the bedroom. I wasn't taking any chances. I've seen these suckers survive up to 48 hours in a sealed jar with raid.
By about ten a.m. most of the pain had subsided into a dull ache with some mild burning sensations, but for the rest of the day, my arm just weak, like no muscle strength. And I had gassed the room so badly that I had to spend a week in the guest bedroom-after a very thorough search, of course.
*ouch* Kap! a friend of mine's wife got stung by a hornet while in bed under the covers....in the middle of winter......
Cenitpedes are nasty looking. They look alot bigger than they are because of their legs. A bite from a centipede can be painful, but usually not deadly. I would suggest that you spray around the outside of your home along the foundation with a good residual insecticide like Onslaught, or Demon WP.
wow centipedes in the UK are tiny little things and harmless living on an island thats cold and rains all the time has its advantages

You may now shop two malls again without fear of individualized tracking—at least by your cell phone signal. Privacy concerns raised by US Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) have ended plans by malls in southern California and Virginia to "survey" customers' shopping habits by tracking their cell phone signals.
As Ars Technica previously reported, Forest City, the mall developer that owns and operates the Promenade Temecula in Temecula, California and Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Virginia had announced it would test technology in those two malls from Path Intelligence. Called Footpath, the system uses a series of cellular signal detectors to triangulate the movement of customers' phones — and by extension, the customers themselves — through the mall's stores and other spaces. While the technology doesn't eavesdrop on cell phone users' calls or record information about their phone numbers, it does use their cellular device's digital signature to track individuals.
[partner id="arstechnica" align="right"]
The collected information is stored on Path Intelligence's servers, and made available through a secure Web portal to mall owners, providing them with a way of profiling which stores customers visit and where foot traffic "hot spots" are for those demographics to optimize display advertising and other marketing.
Forest City had planned to conduct the trial until the end of December. However, just a day after the trial began, Sen. Schumer contacted Forest City to raise his concerns. In a press conference on Sunday, Schumer said that the malls should have allowed customers to opt into the survey, rather than having to "opt out" by turning off their cell phones. "A shopper's personal cell phone should not be used by a third party as a tracking device by retailers," Schumer said in a press conference on Sunday. "Personal cell phones are just that — personal. If retailers want to tap into your phone to see what your shopping patterns are, they can ask you for your permission to do so."
Schumer also sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission chairman Jon Leibowitz asking the FTC to look into whether Path's technology was legal in the U.S.
Forest City has not abandoned plans for the survey, however. In a statement, a Forest City spokesperson said that the company was suspending the trial until it came up with a way for customers to opt out easily. Path Intelligence CEO Sharon Biggar told CNNMoney that she hopes to discuss her company's technology with Schumer directly, and that it was fundamentally no different from the type of tracking that online retailers do with "cookies" and other behavioral marketing tools. "We are simply seeking to level the playing field for offline retailers," she said.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Jose's work day begins at five a.m. He is the boat captain of a fishing expedition team of six, scouring the surrounding waters of Verde Island to supply the burgeoning aquarium fish trade in Southeast Asia.
Situated between the provinces of Batangas and Mindoro in the Philippines, Verde Island and the Verde Passage Corridor cover about 1.14 million hectares of ocean, with currents that funnel nutrients from the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. All this ocean activity encourages the movement of diverse marine life in these waters. A coral survey jointly conducted in 2007 by the Smithsonian Institute and IUCN, the World Conservation Union, recorded over 300 species of corals, and nearly 60 percent of the world's known shore fish species. Endangered species that thrive in the area include sea turtles, humphead wrasses, whale sharks, and giant clams.
The abundance of marine life around these waters has made the collection of ornamental marine species a big business in Verde Island. Aquarium fish collection and trading in the area is mostly a family activity that has persevered for decades. A fishing group is usually composed of immediate and extended family members. In the collection process, small children help in the packing of fish, the older males join in the fishing, and the mothers are assigned in the recording of catch and purchasing of needed materials. Trading is done either by the husband and/or wife with the children helping in the loading and delivery of the collected fish.
After a four-hour journey, Jose's team arrives at a collection site about 200 meters away from the shoreline. A barrier net is pitched beside a coral reef. Divers drive fish into it with a wave of their hands. Fish trapped in the net are scooped up and put into plastic bags, and an injection needle is used toremove air from the swim bladder to decompress the fish. All caught fish – typically angelfish, tangs, butterflies, hogfish and female bird wrasses – are transported in large plastic bags. Jose's team of roving collectors move from one coastal village to another in search of aquarium fish.
Jose has been in the business for over two decades. As a teenager, he learned to free dive and became what locals refer to as a mano-mano collector, diving up to depths of 15 to 20 feet to collect shallow-dwelling marine life. Eventually he became a hookah diver, able to dive to greater depths of up to 50 feet with the aid of a surface-air supplying engine called a "hookah" or "compressor" stationed in the boat. This way, Jose could stay underwater much longer to catch more fish and dive deeper to collect high-end, in-demand species. The air-supplying apparatus accommodates two divers at a time. For a group with only two divers, an average of 20 to 40 minute-rest is taken before another dive is allowed. Dives usually last from 30 minutes to more than an hour. No special dive gear here. The divers wear long sleeved shirts, long tight pants (cycling or pedal pants), bonnets, and use masks and weight belts. Improvised flippers are made of thick ply wood or plastic materials.
Jose's fighting spirit of survival to catch enough fish to make money in order to support his family always won over any thoughts of fear, danger, or damage to the reefs associated with the risk of gear accidents causing long-term or permanent disability, even death. By the age of 40, Jose took over the family business and became boat captain. He joined the ranks of collectors known as taong ibabaw, which literally means "man on top", as his responsibilities moved to overseeing activities on top of, rather than under, the sea.
As boat captain, Jose owns the boat, finances the fishing expedition, and is decision-maker of the team. He arranges the delivery of their catch and negotiates with the buyers. During actual collection, he may also work as a diver, as a lineman assigned to guard the surface during diving to ensure the safety of the divers, or as a boatman.
Roving collection is done all year round. Collection activities peak from March to May when there are no storms in the area, the sea is generally calm and water temperature is conducive for diving. On this season, fishing expeditions range from three to five per month. Each expedition is usually five to seven days long. The duration of the trip depends on the volume of their catch, weather conditions, and availability of their provision - especially rice and fuel. Sometimes, the state of the boat and its engine will shorten the trip. A fishing expedition comes to an end when the boat is full of aquarium fish, which often takes two to three days. During lean seasons when fish volume is low, the operation is continued until the provisions are consumed.
Most of the collected fish are packed individually. However, to economize on space, some are paired up in one bag - for example, a clownfish and a damsel, a wrasse and a butterflyfish. Others are "gangpacked", with no more than 10 fish per 14 X 28 plastic bags. The plastic bags used are large enough for the fish to move freely inside. Oxygen to water ratio in the sealed bags is estimated to be 30:70 to 30:60 (30 to 40% oxygen with 60 to 70% water).
The packed fish are stocked in the boat throughout the duration of Jose's fish expedition. Newly caught fish are repacked twice a day for one to two days. On the third day, repacking is done only if the water in the bags is dirty with fish effluents. Fish are stocked in the front or sides of the boat. Some boats have hulls with three to five levels, which keep the stocked bags in an upright position. Bags on the sides, in the unshaded areas, are covered with cloth, sack or buri mats and are splashed with water frequently to keep them cool. Upon the arrival of the boat in Verde Island, the fish are inspected and repacked for delivery to the exporters.
There is no thorough or formal process in screening the fish. Only the low-priced accidental catch is removed from the stocks during packing. During repacking, only the dead and near-dead fish are removed.
A final round of packing for delivery to the exporter's facility is done as early as five in the Morning on the final day of the expedition, upon the arrival of Jose's fishing boat in San Andres. As the rest of the team's responsibilities have come to an end after loading their catch on the boat to BatangasCity, Jose must ensure the delivery of the fish stocks to the exporters' facilities.
Profits from the trade
A successful fishing expedition usually earns Jose's team about Php 18,000, that's roughly US$ 400. Income of the mano-mano collectors ranges from a low of Php 900.00 to a high of Php 12,000.00 per month, while the hookah collectors' compensation ranges from Php 900.00 to Php 19,000.00. Traders may receive a low of Php 2,500.00 to a high of Php 22,500.00. This is barely enough for Jose to support himself, his wife and five children.
The nature of the aquarium fish trade means that collectors or traders do not hold a regular job. Other sources of financial support must come from a working wife, son, or daughter. Others receive a monthly honorarium for being a member of the village council.
Aside from engaging in the aquarium fish trade, collectors and traders like Jose, or their families, are involved in other income generating activities such as piglet farming or managing sari-sari stores.
The role of conservation
The Verde Passage is one of the busiest waterways in the Philippines. Its waters are plied daily by oil and chemical carriers while on the shores of Batangas province there are shipyards, chemical and petrochemical plants and oil refineries. Intensifying tourism, the presence of port and energy facilities (oil, gas, and geothermal), as well as unsustainable fishing methods, pose grave threats to the area's marine resources. Although commercial fishing is prohibited in the area, the aquarium fish trade is causing a heavy strain on the marine environment.
The collection of ornamental fish and other organisms from coral reefs is amongst the significant extractive activities in the Philippines, notably so in Verde Island due to the exceptional biodiversity of marine life in the area and easy access to it. On a global scale, 85 percent of the trade comes from thePhilippines and Indonesia. This ornamental trade is contributing to the over-all depletion of coral reef organisms. Thus, there is a need to develop management strategies that balance conservation and livelihood in Verde Island and the Verde Passage concerning the ornamental trade.
One of the more serious threats to marine biodiversity is the use of sodium cyanide to catch food fish and tropical aquarium fishes. Sodium cyanide is used by fishermen to stun the fish for the live fish trade but destroys the corals in the process. After decades of misuse, the corals of the Philippines have been transformed into piles of coral rubble and underwater deserts, thereby reducing its productivity over the years.
Conservation International is working to address this problem with local communities and other organizations such as Reef Check Conservation Program and the Marine Aquarium Council. Efforts have been underway to develop sustainable mechanisms for the capture of fish for the aquarium trade andstrengthening coastal law enforcement (e.g., patrolling efforts and apprehension of illegal fishers).
A CI study conducted by Reef Check Philippines proposes a scientific framework for developing catch limits, suggesting total allowable catch for various fish and invertebrate species in the Verde island, specifically for the village of San Andres. The study also proposes strengthening current no-take zones within marine protected areas (MPAs) and perhaps expanding these sites as potential sources of adults and spawns for ornamental stocks. The study proposes active involvement with collectors, like Jose, in terms of stakeholder buy-in towards implementing these proposed catch limits and in developing a simple information management system in tracking catch versus agreed catch limits. CI also advocates the involvement and the cooperation of hobbyists, pet groups, fish dealers, NGO groups, exporters and collectors in addressing unsustainable ornamental fish and marine resource collection.
Given the precarious state of the environment, one thing is for certain: conservation science has a big role to play in ensuring the survival of this precious marine habitat and the people, such as Jose, who depend on them.

Garcia won the biggest fight of his career to date while the once promising Arnaoutis dropped his fourth straight.
In the co-feature, a first round knockdown gave lightweight Victor Vasquez (12-4-1, 6 KOs) the margin he needed to take a six round split deciusion over Bryne Green (5-4, 3 KOs). Scores were 57-56, 57-56 for Vasquez and 57-56 for Green.
Also super middleweight Bastie Samir moved to 5-0 with 5 KOs after a second round stoppage of Joseph Dunn (0-2).

Trip Start Aug 26, 2005
44Trip End May 08, 2006
The first fifteen-year-old student was Marian. He is the youthful, blue-eyed smiling boy who'd drawn a whale on the board in our last class. In a class characterized by wild girls, he has a sweet and bright personality. His hobbies include soccer and table tennis. He happily added, about the penguins: "They played American football and did wrestling."
Marian always sits beside quiet but pleasant Marek. Marek's thinning fluffy-blond hair, uneasy look, and mature attitude make him seem older than he is. He helped with, "They lived in Antarctica."
I figured it would help if I illustrated the story on the board. I drew the father penguin wearing a football helmet and face-mask. "... And they wrestled!" said Marian. I drew the mother penguin holding the baby penguin upside-down by his leg. Some icycle drawings represented Antarctica.
"The mother penguin talked in a beat-box, and they lived on the West Side." A rapper's microphone suddenly appeared in the mother's hands, and the family wore gang bandanas.
Let me introduce this third class-member, David Mojik, by first saying he's twenty years old and in class with fifteen-year-olds. Shaven black hair and beard stubble decorate his pale head. He's a loud funny guy who hunches over, wears sloppy t-shirts, and says he enjoys the "free life." He studies in a private high school, which means if his parents keep paying, he can keep going, even if he never advances to the next year. Incidentally, in the Czech Republic, class-mates are together for every class, seven or eight classes a day, for four or optionally eight years straight. They must get close - or else really sick of each other - during that time. (In David's case, he seems to be absent from many of those classes.)
Young Ren�ta sits next to David. I'd just taken away from her a cell-phone she was playing with. This is a big class, and telling a story together seemed to capture their attention. Ren�ta is the short-dark-floopy haired girl who'd drawn a squirrel last class. She chomps her gum and slides her body through the air in a very sassy way. She said, "There was a car driving, and they had an accident, the car hit the penguins."
Continuing around the desks arranged in a circle, Mark�ta Antelov� was next. She collects erasers and pencil sharpeners. She's a sweetheart with light-purplish skin, and cheeks and a nose so soft you just want to poke them. Her short, sunny-brown hair had been feathered on the first day I saw her. "The baby penguin's leg was broke," she said. I turned his straight, stick leg into a bent, stick leg.
Katerina needed help to say, "The ambulance took him to the - 'nemocnice' - hospital." She's small with curly, long, brown hair and tiny glasses. She's quiet and shy.
"The nurse looked after the doctor," said Veronika. She usually tries to hide when I'm calling on the students to speak, but she was ready with this maybe-not-completely-harmless quote. She has rose-white skin, brown eyes that chirp like a bird, and cheeks which wrinkle towards her pursed pale lips. She likes swimming, dancing, and hip-hop.
The thin jean legs of her friend, Karolina, dance when I call on her - they dance so fast she might one day take off into space. She'd answered my earlier questions with words, not full sentences, which got me thinking it'd be good if we told a story in class. She said, "The baby penguin went to - 'operace' - operation." Karolina actually has as much fat on her as a stalk of celery. She has Latin-American skin and long, painted-blond hair which don't really match.
A girl with a small, lumpy head with black hair around it said, "The mother penguin was crying." Adriana's favorite clothing is a bikini. She responds ably and confidently when called upon.
"The mother penguin went to work as a prostitute." Ol' Martina was next. Martina has beautiful features: long, sunflower hair and blue eyes. However, she's often distant and solitary and sad during class while the others behave opposite. She likes sports and skiing. She's tall and a tiny bit wide. I know little about her, but I imagine it's tough to be big in a country where everyone's thin. I drew money in the mother penguin's hands.
"The mother penguin pays for the operation." Kristyna said the suggestion of the girl sitting next to her. Kristyna has a very small head. Mostly, she just smiles - a very pleasant smile, the type of smile a person gives when she's just happy to be near someone and hear someone speak she doesn't care about what nor is it important if she herself speaks, and I think particularly a squirrel would find Kristyna's smile lovely.
The girl sitting next to her was Zuzana. Zuzana, my nemesis: the girl who compared me to Tarzan THEN insisted brontosauruses live and are "in the sea." Her spunky little apple-red-lipped face bore bad news for the whole in-suspense class. "The baby penguin died." Oh no! Zuzana's hobby is "smoking."
Monika continued, with her dictionary. "They went to the funeral." Her white sweatshirt was bright and new, like all the students' clothes except David's. She wore the hood over her head. She preferred looking at pictures of a drinking party Zuzana had with her (Zuzana's) father, to getting called on by me.
The next girl, Sharka, has a young face. But, her long scarlet hair was swooped back and spun around nastily like a spider's whip. She'd stolen her tall body from the Queen of Venus, from back in those days when the Queen had charmed the dazzling Prince of Jupiter, and she wore a tight long-sleeved t-shirt. Her hobbies are boys, DVD's, and television. "They went to the pet store and bought a new penguin." I drew the penguin couple holding a third, small penguin in a cage.
Lastly came Kl�ra. She's the dark-curly-haired, slightly Gothic girl. She doesn't extravagantly show it, but I think she enjoys coming to our English class quite a bit. She finished the story. "The penguins bought a new television and were happy."

I run Outlook 2010 on my home computer and on my laptop. I hate it when Outlook on my laptop downloads all the mails which I have already read and replied via my home computer.
Is there a way to avoid this ? More than a couple of my friends have the same trouble, please do give us some help here.
How-To Geek Forums / Microsoft Office
A little help on Outlook 2010(9 posts)
I run Outlook 2010 on my home computer and on my laptop. I hate it when Outlook on my laptop downloads all the mails which I have already read and replied via my home computer.
There are two things to check. First, In Outlook, select your account under tools/accounts then under 'more settings' and then the 'advanced' tab, make sure there isn't a tick in the 'leave a copy of the email on server' box (if a copy is left then when you check on a different computer it will re-download). Next, depending on your Service Provider, there may be a setting in their email setup page which doesn't remove an email after download until after a certain time - check to see if this is set or not.
@Oldgeezer, It sounds to be a nice idea but if I opt not to leave a copy on the email server, I will not be able to search for a particular mail in the future, For which I have to search both on my laptop and on my home desktop, Which could be nearly impossible a lot of times.
I was thinking about this Idea, What if I put the Outlook`s pst file on my dropbox so it would sync between outlook on both computers.
It's worth a try I've never come across using dropbox in such a way, but I see know reason why it shouldn't work. The only slight issue would be if you had Outlook open on both computers at the same time, depending on which way Dropbox syncs you could lose data.
Back to your original problem. Leaving it on the server is definitely the reason why you are getting mail downloaded twice - depending on how your isp handles your mail there may be a setting on their webmail section to dictate what happens to mail already downloaded, but that is really just a case of seeing what options you have on their system.
I have never used both my computers at the same time, So I don
t think it will be a problem. Ill will try it at the earliest and let you know
Outlook is just an email client , so it is obvious that it will download all the emails from the server to your laptop and of course it won't have any idea that the emails were also download somewhere else. Why don't you choose one of your Outlook to be responsible of downloading the emails on the laptop , and view your emails through web on the other ?
@scorpion99, Thanks for your opinion mate, but I don`t want to do it that way

Software Product Engineering Services
Challenges We Address
The ever competitive software product industry continues to witness new technologies sweeping the market, heightened consolidation and a move to utility-based software delivery through Software as a Service (SaaS) and Web 2.0 technologies. The increasing pace of innovation has in turn shortened the life cycle of software products. Visionary industry leaders have realized the importance of collaboration to stay competitive and have started building their global engineering product development ecosystem to 'out innovate' competitors. All this has changed the expectations of an offshore product engineering services provider.
Against this background, software product companies need more than just another offshore services vendor on a piecemeal basis to collaborate for success. They need a strategic software engineering services and products partner who can share and execute based on the product's long term strategic vision. At HCL, we share the innovation and product strategy vision of our partners. We are fully committed in increasing the effectiveness of innovation while adding the right value in executing that vision and getting it right the first time.
HCL's Software Product Engineering Services

text: I just put up a tutorial on the wiki here, involving the 2D shooter + level editor project from here. No, this isn't the long-awaited 2D platformer tutorial; it's just something I put together over the last couple of days. It's not about how to create a 2D game, but about working with and extending a Unity project, with some scripting, so I don't think there will be any overlap. At first it was just going to be a brief thing, but somehow it got...longer. I tried not to make many assumptions about the hypothetical reader's abilities, so I guess it's more oriented towards beginners. It could probably use some screenshots. However, I've also attached here an extended version of the project from the above link, with everything from the tutorial up till Part 7, section 2 included (except Part 6, section 1a, 'cause I was too lazy), which might be useful as an illustration if I explained stuff wrong or left something out. Which is likely , so let me know about mistakes, etc. NOTE: a newer version is available here. It's mostly the same as the attached version, but recompiled as a Unity 4.3 project. I'd replace the attachment here but that doesn't work for larger files anymore, so I'm leaving it for posterity or something...maybe people who for some reason are using an earlier Unity version.... --Eric

Sorry for the title couldn't think how else to word it but while playing All Stars i realized that this game was good advertising for other games. As i was playing through the various characters stories i was thinking how i wanted to revisit some of my old staples of the past as well as wanting to try some other characters game for the first time. Of course some of these characters have games coming out soon so they are even better place to "sell" you on their new game. On the old favourite side playing through All Stars made me want to open up my copy of Uncharted 3 as well as play through the Jak collection. And as far as introducing me to new things it really made me take a look at Revengeance as I have been sort of against MGS because i don't like stealth but since it is going to be an action game i sort of want to keep it on my radar. Oh and also I've been putting off trying Heavenly Sword for awhile but am running out of excuses not to play it. I really liked Enslaved and want to play the new DmC game by them but also want to check out the game that put them on the map.
So did anyone else have these feelings or are all of you immune to the advertising nature of a mash up game such as this?

Winger keen to play a part
Stephen Hunt is keen to add his input to Wolves' battle to move away from the lower reaches of the npower Championship table after shrugging off a frustrating season so far.
The livewire winger is back fit again after a problematic hip/groin problem, and was an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leeds.
He had come off the bench to play at left back in the previous home game with Blackpool, and is ready and willing if called upon to add his quality and experience amid a difficult time for Wolves.
"I'm feeling good and feeling fit now and it's just a case of getting back in the team now and trying to show what I can do," said Hunt, in an interview featured in Saturday's matchday programme.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and hopefully I'm going to be involved between now and the end of the season.
"I've been working hard in the gym making sure I can get back fit and I came on against Blackpool and then had half of the reserve game against West Brom.
"It's just been a case of playing football again and getting a feel for it.
"Players put a lot of work in behind the scenes whether you are fit or injured and trying to come back.
"The physios have been great with me as well.
"Carl (Howarth) has been working with me tirelessly and if he had hair to lose he'd have lost it that's for sure.
"Once you know in your head you have done everything you can to try and get fit then you have a clear conscience and can play with more confidence knowing you have given everything.
"Wardy's injured neck at five to three got me back in at Blackpool.
"In a way it was a bonus to be involved so soon and I was keen to do well.
"I've played at left back before and maybe fancy myself to play there in a few years' time.
"To be honest I'd be happy to play anywhere - left back, left wing, right wing, midfield, in the hole.
"Hopefully I can provide the manager with a few options."
It was only Danny Batth's injury time equaliser against Leeds which kept Wolves out of the relegation zone at the weekend, and Hunt admits not winning has the potential to become something of a habit.
But he is confident Wolves will stay positive and stay together to ensure they get out of trouble.
"There is such a thing as a winning habit and there is also such a thing as a losing habit," he says.
"We have to get the winning habit back and quickly because the league table does not lie – we're fourth from bottom and have to be realistic.
"We've got to pick up results from now until the end of the season that will stand us in good stead to get us up the league and get us in a good position for next year confidence-wise.
"We're fourth from bottom so we have to be realistic about things.
"Every club of a decent size always pull together when things get tough.
"For us now it is important not to get too down and keep good spirits around the place to get things on the right track.
"And it's about wanting to do well as a team.
"The new manager has come in with some good ideas and with enthusiasm and wants the club to progress.
"He seems to like me and that breeds confidence if you go out on the pitch and think the manager likes you as a player.
"When you are losing for a long time it can be hard to drag yourself out and only the strongest ill survive.
"I know I will be able to drag myself out and will never get down about it because what we do for a living is fantastic and we are very fortunate."
Hunt's current contract at Molineux expires this summer.
Far from simply expecting to win another based on past history and past experience he knows that any chance of a new deal depends on impressing and helping the team escape their current predicament.
"It is always easy to say 'yes I want to sign a contract', but genuinely I am happy here," says Hunt.
"My family are settled which means a lot and I really enjoy it at Wolves.
"All I want to do is play football and so I have to do what I can to impress the manager between now and the end of the season.
"I have got to do well and earn the right if I want to have a chance of a new deal."
Wolves will travel to Austria for their 2017/18 pre-season trainin....

Though this story doesn't yet seem to have an angle relevant to the social justice focus of this blog, a lot of people asked me this week about an article that appeared in the New York Times. The report details an archaeological discovery at Lumbini in Nepal, the site of the Buddha's birth, and suggests that it may influence how we estimate the timeline of the Buddha's life. Author John Noble Wilford says: Until now, archaeological evidence favored a date [for the Buddha's birth] no earlier … [Read more...]
