Illustrative material see page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/144/
Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2011
On 2 February 2011, the State Party submitted a state of conservation report, providing responses to the decisions of the World Heritage Committee at its 34th session (Brasilia, 2010).
a) Measures to halt sea-wave action
The State Party reports that a sea wall, built of coral blocks embedded in traditional mortar, at a depth of 1.5 meters and a length of 150 meters has been constructed in front of the Malindi sea front which is considered to be effective. There are plans to construct a second wall at the southwest corner of Makutani Palace in the near future.
b) Survey and demarcation of the boundaries of the property including extension
The State Party reports that consultations are underway with the Survey and Mapping Unit of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism for demarcating the boundaries and buffer zone and mapping them. The work will be carried out in April 2011. The defined boundaries will be submitted to the World Heritage Centre in 2011 and the proposed buffer zone will be submitted to the World Heritage Committee in time for its 36th session in 2012. There is no mention, however, about the possibility of an extension of the property as requested by the World Heritage Committee at its 32nd session.
c) Management and conservation plans
The report indicates that a three year strategic plan has been developed based on the corrective measures suggested by ICOMOS experts. The State Party also reports that they have prepared, in collaboration with a number of partners, a proposal for an overall conservation project for the property and for a comprehensive management plan for Songo Mnara. The State Party further reports that a workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 27 – 28 January 2011, entitled "Planning Meeting to Develop a Comprehensive Management Plan for Songo Mnara, Tanzania; Conservation, Archaeology, tourism and Community Involvement". The State Party will submit the results of this meeting to the World Heritage Centre.
d) On-site management staff
The State Party reports that they are continuing to try to improve on-site management and recruit more staff. In particular, they report that two Japanese volunteers with backgrounds in architecture and museums will be assigned to the property as of August 2011.
e) Vegetation growth within and around monuments
The State Party reports that vegetation has been removed at Malindi, Gereza, and the Makutani Palace. Work will continue on the Makutani area, the Sultan's tombs, and the Forty Sheikhs monuments, with work foreseen for completion by July of 2011. However, the report acknowledges that there is a need to carry out more careful conservation studies of some monuments before removing vegetation that is embedded within their walls, in order to avoid damage to the structures. The State Party further reports that a group of village youths is being engaged in part of the vegetation control process. They also report plans to carry out an inventory of trees at the property.
f) Conservation of architectural structures
The State Party reports conservation work being carried out on a number of monuments within the property. These include the Malindi Mosque and Cemetery, and the Gereza Fort. Emergency conservation works were also carried out at the Makutani Palace. Works include cleaning of the site and removal of rubble and vegetation, repair or replacement of decaying mangrove and of lime mortar where necessary, and repair of cracks. Additional work still needs to be carried out including the replacement of some doors, and the placement of stones at the base of the monuments to help protect them from sea erosion. Work has been carried out with assistance from the World Monuments Fund and the United Nations Joint Programme.
g) Cattle grazing
The State Party reports that efforts have been made to limit or stop cattle grazing at both Songo Mnara and Kilwa Kisiwani. In regard to the former, the site manager has worked with the village administration and the Ruins Committee to ensure that grazing has stopped. In regard to the latter, the site manager has worked with the Kilwa Masoko township authority to declare all grazing illegal in unauthorized areas. Meetings have also been held with cattle owners.
h) Timeframe for carrying out corrective measures
The State Party reports progress on many of the corrective measures, but states that the success of the corrective measures will depend on the availability of funding. For this reason, the State Party states that it proposes to request funding from UNESCO and other sources. As a result, the State Party would like to request a reconsideration of the timetable for carrying out the corrective measures to ensure that it takes into account the availability of funding.
Analysis and Conclusions of the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and ICCROM
The World Heritage Centre and Advisory Bodies note the progress made by the State Party on a number of the corrective measures. In particular, the construction of the sea wall, the removal of vegetation, the efforts to control grazing, and the conservation work carried out at some of the important monuments. They note, however, that a great deal of work still needs to be carried out both in the area of limiting sea erosion and on the conservation of structures at the property. In addition, they emphasize the need for a monitoring regime to be put in place both to monitor the ongoing effects of sea erosion, the state of conservation of the monuments, and vegetation growth, which should lead to a maintenance strategy to deal with these problems in the long term.
Further, there is a need for the boundaries and buffer zones to be defined. The work on the boundaries and buffer zone was already scheduled to be completed according to the corrective measures, but as the State Party points out, some of these measures are being carried out at a slower pace than anticipated. In regard to planning mechanisms, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies note the progress made by the State Party but would request more information on the proposed conservation plan and the comprehensive management plan for Songo Mnara and how this will be linked to the plan for the main island. They further note the desire of the State Party to re-examine the timeframe for the implementation of the corrective measures and would be happy to support a proposal to work with the State Party as necessary to redefine this timeframe. Further, they would suggest that the State Party makes a request for International Assistance, if necessary, for the implementation of some of the corrective measures as mentioned by the State Party.

What a great report. Some nice new tents there.
I have been waiting to see the new sub 2 kg freestanding Hilleberg solo tent and you are the first to come out with a picture of it !!., I have found another shot on the net but there is something about the design a bit odd. Do you have any shot from a different angle ?
The Soulo addresses some of the concerns with the Akto. Namely smallish interior space, long footprint and snow loading capability. A nice feature, IMHO, is the zip up the center of the inner, I can see the possibility of wind and rain protection whilst keeping good ventilation for cooking ( warning, never cook inside your tent…..)
I like also those sleeves. Should allow a fast set up. Great to see the North Face vent/wind stabilizer , also used now by Vango and Pacer ( Aarn Design ?)
This is an instant winner.

Hi Franco:
This looks like a lighter version of the Staika…
I have been told about an upcoming lighter version of the Unna. Any ideas?Jul 23, 2007 at 11:33 pm #1396293
I think that the Soulo is the replacement for the Unna. I only know of three new tents from Hilleberg for 2008, the Allak, a 3kg 2 person version of the Soulo, and the Kaitum 3, a tent that is possibly big enough for you, are the other two. I would not expect any other solo tent from them anytime soon. ( educated guess).
Keep in mind that Hilleberg include all of the bits with their stated weight.
Soulo and Allak sound like Sami for one and all. Any Sami speakers out there ?

Ben 2 WorldBPL Member
@ben2worldLocale: So Cal
Hi Franco:
The reason I suspect Staika is because the tent you pictured has three poles — like the Staika — which is one of the few truly freestanding tents in the world — no need to stake out the vestibule in order to use it.
EDIT: Franco, I just re-read your post. So, this Soulo / Staika-Lite will replace the Unna? Seems like a worthy successor — a fully freestanding tent with vestibule for 6/10th of a pound increase in weight. Wonder what the internal dimensions are? Hopefully not weirdly shaped or coffin like…Jul 24, 2007 at 12:12 am #1396295
Hi Benjamin
I've explicitly asked the guys from Hilleberg at the show if they are planning other tents than the one mentioned by Franco and the answer was no.
Hi Franco
I wasn't allowed to take more than the one picture shown at my blog but if you leave a comment on my posting including your mail address I can send you a PDF copy from their 2008 catalogue page for the Soulo which includes a drawing that might help you further.Jul 24, 2007 at 2:12 am #1396299
Hi Roman
I was delighted to discover your web site, I just realized that part of the Via Alpina goes through the area I used to hike when I was growing up, Val Bognanco, Blue Trail between the start and Monte Rosa. My grandfather used to "import" coffee, sugar and cigarettes through there ( not using that trail…) and on a couple of occasions "exported" Jews to "neutral" Switzerland.
( my father was in Switzerland when the Americans bombed some of the factories supplying arms to the Germans).
back to Hilleberg …
My E Mail address is franco dot darioli at gmail dot com
Your info will be very much appreciated.
The other tent that is somewhat interesting is the GoLite Xanadu 1. That silnylon/Epic combo is such an obvious solution ( I wish I had thought of it….)

Hi Roman,
are there any changes to the current Hillberg models. I've been looking to a Nallo 2 as my luxury backpacking shelter, but I was hoping to see a bit lighter version. Any changes on that front?
BTW, how easy was it to get a press card? On what basis dit you get it? I have been thinking with a friend about going to Outdoor Friedrichshafen for a while now but up to now we haven't found the time. I'm just wondering how hard it is to get in.Jul 24, 2007 at 4:00 am #1396302
Roman you are the best. Enjoy your Via Alpina with your Tarptent.
Usually I can work out the structure from any picture, however the "four pole" description had me confused. It is in fact a very similar three pole dome design to my Bibler Pinon, including the freestanding vestibule. I suggested that only a few weeks ago to someone else. (blast)
The addition of no see-um mesh on the door (covered by zippable fabric !!!) makes this a true 4 season shelter.
BTW, Soulo is a Sumi word but it means island.Jul 24, 2007 at 7:06 am #1396316
Hi Tom,
the Nallo range remains the same in 2008.
In terms of the press card I initially tried using my blog as a reference to proof that I'm "press worthy" which didn't work. At the end I've managed to get in over a friend of mine who wrote to the press office that I'm their freelance press agent in Germany. That worked out easy but you need to find someone with access already.Jul 26, 2007 at 2:01 pm #1396564

The Soulo is not replacing the Unna. It is a more minimalist version of the Staika, with 3 poles crossing at the top and a small vestibule. I have tried out an Unna, and though it does not have a vestibule, one of the corners easily detaches to allow the user to create a vestibule if desired.
The Unna has two crossing poles, the Soulo three.
Unna has pole sleeves, Soulo has clips.
Unna has a rectangular footprint, the Soulo looks more hexagon-ish.
Stats (inner sq ft, vestibule, total sq ft, height, min wt, max weight with stakes/stuff sack)
Akto (18.3, 8.6, 26.9, 36 in, 2lb 14oz, 3lb, 5oz)
Unna (27, 0, 27, 40 in, 4lb, 4lb 7oz)
Soulo (21.5, 7.6, 29.1, 38in, ?min, 4lb 10oz)
Jannu (36.6, 13, 49.6, 40in, 5lb 8oz, 6lb 3oz)
Opening US price on Soulo, $525. Ouch! I suspect all the tent prices will go up with the 2008 catalog.
For those not familiar with the manufacturer, their tents are bomber, the organization is smallish with great customer service, and the tents are handmade with the name of the person who assembled it stitched onto a seam. Their tents are far from ultralight, but are on the light end of the expedition spectrum, for use in climes where you aren't going to bring a tarptent.Oct 24, 2007 at 4:23 am #1406455

Getting carbon fiber poles from fiberplex knocks another 10oz off the Soulo… switching to titanium stakes also takes off another oz or 2. You can get it into the sub 4lb realm which is amazing considering how tough it is.
I can't wait to bust it out on the mountain.Oct 13, 2009 at 9:55 pm #1536116

Pearl Izumi Superstar Cycling Dress - Women's - $79.95
So, you ride your bike every day, but you're tired of wearing the same thing every time you're on your bike. Pearl Izumi's designers hear you, so the created the Superstar Cycling Dress to give you an alternative to the same-old every day cycling tights. The Superstar's moisture-wicking Select Transfer fabric and removable 3D chamois keep you dry and comfortable on the bike, but what really sets it apart is its styling. The Superstar Dress' Select Transfer fabric uses one-way capillary action and hydrophobic fibers that are engineered to quickly wick and evaporate moisture. This ensures you stay dry, and its surface is also designed to be soft against your skin for undeniable all-day comfort. For support and to keep the liner from migrating or pinching, Pearl uses an anatomical cut, flatlock seams and wide elastic leg bands, coupled with silicone grippers. Accordingly, this created a platform worthy of Pearl Izumi's MTB 3D Chamois. This breathable four-way stretch chamois is built with Pearl Izumi's Pressure Relief Technology, which takes pressure off of sensitive nerves and blood vessels. As a result, this pre-shaped chamois provides enhanced blood-flow, vibration dampening, and comfort. The chamois, itself, also has integrated carbon yarns in order to control odor and to provide increased heat regulation. For low-light safety, reflective elements give motorists a heads up. The Women's Superstar Cycling Dress is available in Black and comes in sizes from X-Small to XX-Large. - $79.95

Petfood safety purrs and growls for 2013
Raves and rebukes for people and organizations involved in US petfood safety this year
The recent release of the proposed feed/petfood preventive control rule under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) caps a year of news, progress, regress and concerns about petfood safety in the US, making this a fitting time to assign accolades and criticisms to entities and people involved.
Purrs to petfood companies and executives who act on the belief that petfood safety is not proprietary or a competitive advantage. The philosophy is that sharing ideas, programs and best practices with the rest of the industry is crucial to ensuring the safety of all petfood products, building cooperation with regulators such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and gaining consumer trust.
While I have heard this sentiment often since FSMA was passed in January 2011, the fact that executives from companies such as Del Monte, Diamond Pet Foods, C.J. Foods, Mars and P&G Pet Care have openly discussed their companies' petfood safety programs at industry conferences this year tells me that at least for them, it's more than just lip service.
Purrs to, again, petfood companies that include finished products in their Salmonella testing programs. There's a perception among consumers and even veterinarians that most petfood companies don't test their finished products before distributing them. Lorie Huston, DVM, made that assertion on PetMD.com earlier this year without citing any studies or data to back her claim. A PetMD.com survey of consumers apparently worded a question to imply that it's "common industry practice" to ship products before test results…

Human articular cartilage defects can be treated with nasal septum cells.
Researchers at the University and the University Hospital of Basel report that cells taken from the nasal septum are able to adapt to the environment of the knee joint and can thus repair articular cartilage defects. The nasal cartilage cells' ability to self-renew and adapt to the joint environment is associated with the expression of so-called HOX genes. The scientific journal Science Translational Medicine has published the research results together with the report of the first treated patients.
Cartilage lesions in joints often appear in older people as a result of degenerative processes. However, they also regularly affect younger people after injuries and accidents. Such defects are difficult to repair and often require complicated surgery and long rehabilitation times. A new treatment option has now been presented by a research team lead by Prof. Ivan Martin, professor for tissue engineering, and Prof. Marcel Jakob, Head of Traumatology, from the Department of Biomedicine at the University and the University Hospital of Basel: Nasal cartilage cells can replace cartilage cells in joints.
Cartilage cells from the nasal septum (nasal chondrocytes) have a distinct capacity to generate a new cartilage tissue after their expansion in culture. In an ongoing clinical study, the researchers have so far taken small biopsies (6 millimeters in diameter) from the nasal septum from seven out of 25 patients below the age of 55 years and then isolated the cartilage cells. They cultured and multiplied the cells and then applied them to a scaffold in order to engineer a cartilage graft the size of 30 x 40 millimeters. A few weeks later they removed the damaged cartilage tissue of the patients' knees and replaced it with the engineered and tailored tissue from the nose. In a previous clinical study conducted in cooperation with plastic surgeons and using the same method, the researchers from Basel recently already successfully reconstructed nasal wings affected by tumors.
Take me to the complete story . . .
Cardiologists at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute have developed a minimally invasive gene transplant procedure that changes unspecialized heart cells into "biological pacemaker" cells that keep the heart steadily beating.
The laboratory animal research, published online and in today's print edition of the peer-reviewed journal Science Translational Medicine, is the result of a dozen years of research with the goal of developing biological treatments for patients with heart rhythm disorders who currently are treated with surgically implanted pacemakers. In the United States, an estimated 300,000 patients receive pacemakers every year.
"We have been able, for the first time, to create a biological pacemaker using minimally invasive methods and to show that the biological pacemaker supports the demands of daily life," said Eduardo Marbán, MD, PhD, director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, who led the research team. "We also are the first to reprogram a heart cell in a living animal in order to effectively cure a disease."

MP: Temple priest abducts, rapes woman
The priest sold the woman to three brothers who too raped her after keeping her in confinement.
Chhatarpur: A 33-year-old married woman was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a temple priest and his accomplice at a village here and then sold off for Rs 40,000 to three brothers, who also gangraped her, police said on Tuesday. The victim, a resident of Kawar village in Chhatarpur district, had been missing since January 17 and the offence came to light on Monday after her brother traced her, along with her five-year-old child, in Pipra village of Madhya Pradesh's Tikamgarh district, they said.
The woman was allegedly kidnapped by the priest Bala Prasad Shukla on January 17 and was raped by him and his accomplice Devendra Shukla at Patharva village in the district, police said. On January 30, Shukla sold off the woman for Rs 40,000 to three brothers - identified as Vimlesh Yadav, Pappu Yadav and Virendra Yadav - of Pipra village.
The three brothers allegedly gangraped her after keeping her in confinement, police said. After the victim's brother traced her, she approached Bamitha Police Station in Chhatarpur district following which a case was registered against the five persons, they said, adding that a search has been launched to arrest them.

ABOUT GAME OF THRONES: Game of Thrones is an American epic fantasy television drama series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. Filmed in a Belfast studio and on location elsewhere in Northern Ireland, Malta, Croatia, Iceland, and Morocco, it premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011. The series has been renewed for a fourth season, to air in 2014. The series, set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos at the end of a decade-long summer, interweaves several plot lines. The first follows the members of several noble houses in a civil war for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms; the second covers the rising threat of the impending winter and the mythical creatures of the North; the third chronicles the attempts of the exiled last scion of the realm's deposed dynasty to reclaim the throne. Through its morally ambiguous characters, the series explores the issues of social hierarchy, religion, civil war, crime, and punishment. It is the most recent big-budget work to have contributed to the popularity of the fantasy genre in mainstream media.

Richards Butler has raided Salans, taking the firm's entire London-based media team.
The team, including partners Jonathan Berger and Peter Armstrong, along with senior associates Sarah Clarke and Laura Clipsham, has joined Richards Butler ahead of its planned merger with Reed Smith.
Richards Butler media group head Stephen Edwards told The Lawyer that the hires would strengthen the media practice's capability and position in the UK market.
"The arrival of the team gives a significant boost to our practice," he said. "For Jonathan and Peter, the move gives their clients access to Richards Butler's depth of experience in related media industry practice areas.
"The combined team will also be well placed to respond to technological changes faced by the industry."
Berger and Armstrong are known for their work in film and television. Armstrong in particular has advised a number of Hollywood studios, including Universal, Disney and Sony Pictures. Most recently he advised on the Munich and Doom films for Universal. He is also the legal adviser to Film London.
Berger recently advised on Richard Attenborough's Closing the Ring.
The appointments came just weeks after The Lawyer revealed that Richards Butler was merging with Reed Smith.
"We're joining Richards Butler at a favourable moment. Our combined practices will be able to face the new media challenges and serve our clients more effectively," said Berger.
Salans wished them well.

Annoyance? Or just jealousy ?Mature
I laid in my bed starring at the ceiling with Fall Out Boy blasting through my headphones. I didn't even hear Vlad and Aloysius walk into the room. I didn't even notice them until Aloysius sat on my bed. I glared at his back. I could tell he was talking by his body language. Vlad was going through his stuff trying to find something. Probably a CD that's usually what he dug for when he brought people in here. He was all about converting people to death metal. When he turned around he saw me glaring at Aloysius who didn't even notice that he was so far up onto my bed that he we touching me. I hated it when people I didn't talk to touched me, they didn't know me. They shouldn't even be aloud to be in my room. Vlad said something that looked like an apology towards me and gave Aloysius the CD, whom then left without even glancing in my direction.
Vlad jumped onto my bed and laid beside me after Aloysius was out the door. I just starred at the ceiling listening as Paramore replaced Fall Out Boy on my I-pod . Vlad took my head phones off my and turned off my I-pod.
"Whats up?" Vlad smiled at me.
I smirked"Your in a good mood today."
"Yeah, and? Just because we're locked up doesn't mean we can't have fun."
"And what do you mean by that Mr.Troublemaker?"
"Oh, you know I've been saving up my money and figured I'd take you and Shelby to a movie."
"First of all, how do you suppose we get off the grounds without getting caught. Second of all, you know I hate Shelby and she hates me."
"So just go with her. It'd be nice for you two to actually spend some alone time together."
"I don't know. I'd feel a lot calmer if you were there."
"Hun, if you want her to be your girlfriend you have to stop taking me on your dates."
"Yeah I know but"
I cut him off. "No but's if your going to take her to the movies I'm not going. I'm so sick of hearing her say 'OH MY GOD your wearing that out in public you look like your going to rob someone'"
"She's not that bad."
"Maybe not to you. But to me she's a nightmare. Anyways why do you like her and Aloysius? They're the biggest preps in this place."
"You sound like them asking me why I like you."
"I can hear them saying that. But I have more in common with you than they do."
"So. Ugh, whatever. But don't come complaining to mean when they annoy you to death."
He just shook his head and jumped off my bed leaving the room without saying a word. I knew I got under his skin sometimes but it made me mad that he could fit in so easily here. Get happy so quickly here. And here I am with one friend and I'm still miserable. I guess I'm just jealous.

They say a butterfly dies every five minutes*. But you only need about four minutes to learn how to make a collage with PicMonkey's easy-peasy tutorial, and then you can create the most awe-inspiring photo collage! Will they save a butterfly? Probably not, but they'll all be happier knowing you know how to make a photo collage. (*Don't go fact-checking us on that!)
This project gets you a slick collage to use as your Facebook cover image.
Open your own to play along at home.
1. Import your photos into our Collage Maker
Hover over the Collage button at the very top of the home page. A dark grey navigation menu appears below it. Click one of the photo storage options (your computer's hard drive, or your Dropbox, Facebook, or Flickr account) to get your photos. Alternatively, you can explore Collage with our sample photos, to the right, by clicking one of them.
You can also import photos by clicking Open photos once you've launched Collage.
Tip: You can select several photos at once (using Command-click on Mac or Control-click on Windows) and the whole group will drop into Collage's image tray instantly.
2. Choose a layout for your photo collage
Click the Layouts tab on the far left. Layouts are completely flexible, so you can make changes to any design you choose.
3. Check overall dimensions
The bottom toolbar shows the overall dimensions of the collage. If you've chosen the Facebook Cover layout, you shouldn't change the dimensions because they're exactly right, but you can easily do so by hovering and dragging your mouse over an outer border of your collage. When you see two thin blue lines appear, move the double arrow to stretch or shrink it. You can also do so by typing new numbers in the dimensions toolbar. If you need to unlock the proportions, click the padlock icon so it appears grey, not blue.
4. Drag photos into your collage layout
Click the Photos tab on the far left. Drag images from the image tray and drop them into your photo collage. Or you can click the Autofill button in the top toolbar, and see if you like the arrangement. Check marks appear on images in the tray that have been placed into the collage.
You can remove photos from the collage at any point but you can only remove them from the image tray if they're not being used in the collage. Remove by hovering on the photo until you see an "x" in the corner, and click it.
5. Tweak your photo
Hover your cursor over an image in a collage cell, and notice the Edit button in the corner. Click it, and an editing palette appears, with a white outline around the image you've selected. The Basic tab of that palette lets you resize, rotate, flip, and adjust the exposure of the image. Move the Size slider to zoom in, or use the Fill cell and Fit to cell buttons to snap it into place. If you're zoomed in, click on the image and drag it around in the cell until you like its new cropping.
6. Modify your collage layout
To tweak the sizes of the images, hover your mouse over the inner border of a cell, and you'll see two blue lines and the mouse pointer will become a double-headed arrow. Drag the arrow to adjust the size of the images, and watch them shrink or grow and re-arrange themselves beautifully.
To add new cells to the collage, drag a photo onto an inner border or outer edge of a cell. When the thin blue bar appears, drop your photo into it. To delete a cell, hover your mouse over it until the "X" appears and click it. Hover over an image you've placed in a cell and the move cursor (four arrows) will appear. Use it to drag your image a bit to adjust its position in the cell.
7. Create a background
Click the Background tab on the far left. Adjust the Spacing, Corner rounding, and Color sliders until your background is just right. Use the Eyedropper to match the background color to a particular color in the photo.
Tip: If you're creating a photo collage project that requires a transparent background, check the Transparent background box at the bottom and be sure to save the file as a .PNG. Facebook doesn't support transparent backgrounds.
8. Add a swatch for layering text onto
Click the Swatches tab (the tags icon). Bam! You now have a bunch of colorful swatches, solid and patterned, in your image tray. To see more swatch options, click the dropdown button and select a different theme.
After you've dragged a swatch into an empty cell, click the Edit button in the top toolbar. This will bring your design into the Editor for overlays and text.
Note: Be absolutely sure you love your collage design before you click Edit, because there's no going back to Collage to fix a few things after you've brought it into the Editor.
9: Add text and more in the Editor
In the Editor, use the text tool to write your message and apply it to the empty cell. You can also add overlays, and anything else in the Editor tabs. Just remember — especially with effects, textures, and frames — that they get applied to the entire collage at this point (unless you use the paintbrush/eraser to apply it to a smaller area).
Now save it, and admire your heartbreaking work of staggering genius. You've done it! You've created your first picture collage.
10. Post collage on Facebook
If you're making a picture collage for your Facebook cover image, post it by hovering your mouse over the photo area on your Facebook Timeline. When Change Cover appears, click it. Click Upload Photo, select the photo from your hard drive, and then Save changes. Wah-lah! Your Facebook cover is a super-boss collage and your friends all want to know how you made it. Tell them the Monkey did you a solid.

Older men's use of Health and Beauty products needs encouraging, more so than Young Adults who have grown up in an environment where specific "for men" brands and products are widely available. Mid-Life males use the fewest Health and Beauty products by overall volume of any age group, but are increasingly concerned about their appearance and some could be encouraged to use a greater range of Health and Beauty products more regularly. Key Highlights Brazil and India will present key opportunities for marketers, with rapid population growth driving rapid value growth. Meanwhile, consumers in China and Russia will be trading up as both these markets will record double digit value CAGRs during 2011-2016, despite limited population growth, negative even in the case of Russia. Marketers need to consider how they are going to transition consumers in China and Russia from value products to mid-tier and premium products. While the anti-aging concept is established in Skincare, opportunities exist to extend this to other markets; for instance, over-exposure to the sun is proven to prematurely age skin, so make-up brands such as Almay are responding by including SPF protection in their foundations. Furthermore, Suncare products are beginning to include ingredients associated with anti-aging Skincare products; however, the extension of the anti-aging concept to Health and Beauty products that aren't applied to the skin is more complex.

Psalms of Hell
At the same time the angel came to earth, an ancient text was put into a Middle East exhibit in an American museum. The text was written in blood on a stone, and should not have lasted the centuries that it did and this frightened the religious, it was authentic, and the text was Latin, a language not spoken in the time the text was written. Translated, it read:
'Angels fear, and humans tremble,
the devil controls not, and God knows nothing,
fire and brimstone are the skin, and he rises,

Moving Forward (8 of 9) by Benny Perez
This content is part of a series.Moving Forward (8 of 9)
Series: One: A Journey Through Philippians
Benny Perez
Philippians 3:10-21
I am beginning our new series ''One'' a journey through Philippians. I believe this series is going to help us to know Jesus more intimately but also to understand the principle of one. You see one is a powerful number. It represents unity, agreement and power. I believe that Jesus is looking for us to move as one. He even prayed that we would become One in John 15 and that we would understand that we are One with Him.
We will see the concept of One Spirit and Purpose (1:26-28), One Love (2:1-11, One Desire (2:12-18), One Knowledge (3:1-10), One Thing (3:11-21), One Mindset (4:4-7) and One Thing (4:8).
Paul is most likely writing this letter around AD. 61 from his first imprisonment to the church in Philippi. Paul established the church around 10 years before and is now writing to thank them for their support. He also is asking them to stay in unity and to stay true to the one Gospel.
The Church
It was a church made up of a diversity of people. We find the founding of the church in Acts 16 and we see Lydia, the jailer, the slave girl as well as other Gentile believers. Their hearts were united as one with their love for Christ and for each other.

That Summer: Twenty-OneMature
I couldnt help but think that if Trevor's following got any bigger he was going to need a new apartment. I kept my hand tight around Trinity's as we made our way through the masses. Dozens of bodies pressed together, drunk and high and letting their lives slip away. That was the beauty of living. Eventually we were all going to die anyway, so we didnt have to feel so bad about helping the process along a bit.
"Crimson!" I recognized Trevor's voice instantly, whirling around to seek him out in the throngs. When he appeared, it was with a joint in hand. He offered it over silently, so both Trinity and I took a hit. The weed was strong enough to kick in right away, sending the room spinning.
I gave Trevor a sloppy smile. "What's up, dude?"
My supposed best friend shrugged. He was looking anywhere but at me; there was something nervous in his expression. When Trinity offered him back the joint, he shook his head. "Keep it."
I couldnt help but frown. This was Trevor, for God's sake, who could smoke and drink anyone under the table. Who lived to be wild. Who was looking at me like a complete stranger.
"What's your deal?" I asked him. Maybe I sounded like a prick. I just couldnt bring myself to care.
Trevor was shaking his head. "This is my last party," he told me. He was so finite, so sincere in his words. "I'm done, Crimson. I'm getting clean."
I heard his words but they most certainly didnt register; glancing at Trinity I could tell she was as stunned as me. "You cant be serious," was all I could think to say.
Trevor narrowed his lifeless eyes. "Why not?" He demanded. "Maybe I actually want to do something with my life."
"Is this about that girl?" I asked harshly. Of course, it would make sense. I thought of all the things I would have given up for Trinity. But that was different.
When Trevor neglected to respond, it said more than any words could have. "Come on, Trev. Fuck her and leave her. What do you need a girl for?"
His voice was poison. "Why do you?"
I was quick to reach out and take Trinity's hand. That was just the protective part of me. The fiery part was ready to tear Trevor's jugular out, and I was silently hoping Trinity's touch might calm me.
"I dont need your permission, you know," Trevor added. He was trembling where he stood, flames aglow in his steely eyes.
"You dont even know her," I pointed out.
Trevor's gaze fell heavy upon Trinity, who's hand tightened around my own. "Do you think you know her?" He asked coldly.
I was so done with his shit. If Trevor wanted to throw away his friends and the only life he had, that was his problem. When he couldnt pay rent because dealing was his only job, that'd be his problem too. Nothing good ever came from being there for someone.

make sure you new instance of sw is stopped copy out the db folder somewhere safe
copy your old sw db folder into the new install then start spiceworks
does that work ?
Jun 9, 2012 at 6:25 UTC
I tried to copy the data & db folders from backup zip file. i also tried to copy the old sw db folder as well but both didnt work out. I really want to restore the db file from backup.

okay if neither of those ways work then its time to ping email@example.com an email referencing this thread, they will probably then have you send them the db and log files and work on them at their end

Go Back to the Zoo
0 Shouts - 1,075,787 Scrobbles
Go Back to the Zoo (GBTTZ) was a band founded in Nijmegen,The Netherlands by the two brothers Teun and Cas Hieltjes, in 2008. Teun (guitar) and Cas (vocals) had been playing together since they were little kids, when one day they decided they needed a drummer. They called their friend Bram and told him the good news, and so Bram became the drummer. A while later they met a nice guy while standing in the waiting line for a Strokes concert. His name was Lars, and Cas, Teun and Bram decided that Lars should be the bass player. Lars, who had never touched a bass guitar in his life, liked the idea and started practicing like crazy. And so Go Back to the Zoo was born.Read More...
From that moment on they have been writing songs in a dusty old cellar (that also stored a collection of mounted animals). All across the Netherlands Go Back to the Zoo performed their songs, and all across the Netherlands the people liked it.
In 2008 they recorded an EP with producer Torre Florim (De Staat), which got picked up by national radio. Their single 'Beam me up' was used by Nike for a worldwide campaign and after that, things went crazy. Go Back to the Zoo got signed to Universal Music and in May 2009 'Beam me up' was released as their first official single. In December 2009 they released their second single 'Electric' with a video which features the bandmembers as musical transformers. Friday, the 13th of August, Go Back To The Zoo released their debutalbum called 'Benny Blisto'.
In January 2016, Go Back To The Zoo announced their end as Go Back To The Zoo. They continue making other music in another band called St. Tropez. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Public Hearings
Public Hearings
Elected officials have the authority to make decisions about how land will be used or developed. They can make long-range plans for the greater community as well as decisions that affect neighbourhoods or individual properties. In order to balance these powers, elected officials are required to hear the views of residents and other interested parties.
Where a local government intends to consider an Official Community Plan (OCP) or zoning bylaw, a public hearing must be held for the purpose of allowing the public to make representations to the local government concerning the matters contained in the OCP or bylaw. At the public hearing, all persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed OCP or bylaw must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions. It is not necessary for all members of a municipal council or regional district board to attend the public hearing.
Notice of the public hearing must be advertised in a newspaper prior to the hearing. If the bylaw alters the permitted use or density of any area, the notice must be mailed or otherwise delivered to parcels of land that are affected by the alteration or is within a distance of the area affected by the alteration that is specified by the local government. This requirement does not apply if the alteration affects ten or more parcels of land owned by ten or more persons.
After the close of the public hearing (either the same day or at a later meeting), each of the council members or regional board members must decide how they wish to vote on the bylaw. However, if all members were not present at the public hearing, they must not vote on the adoption of the bylaw until they have been presented with a report that contains the views expressed at the public hearing. There is no requirement that they must vote in accordance with the wishes of the majority of opinions expressed at the public hearing.
In certain circumstances, a public hearing can be waived. For example, a hearing can be waived where an OCP has been adopted and a zoning bylaw is proposed that is consistent with the OCP. These circumstances are outlined within the Local Government Act (LGA).

Starboard Kode Technora Windsurf Board 122L - $799.95
The Wood and Technora versions continue with constructions that have been refined over a decade to provide the industry's leading warranty figures and the most reliable lightweight boards to date. The Kode 68, 74 and 80 are built to Dur-X standards: double sandwich construction, oversized reinforcements and on the Wood Dur-X models, there is a full 0.6mm wood skin (deck and bottom) for maximum rigidity, strength and dynamic shape integrity.Key Features of the Starboard Kode Technora Windsurf Board 122L: Special features on the Kode 68, 74, 80: Heel bumpers; double insert screws for the back foot. Special features on the Kode 86, 94, 102, 112, 122: No heel bumpers for a lighter and more direct feel; Inboard and outboard insert position options. New fins: for waves, G10 is out, polyester is in. The test team of four riders - Scott McKercher, Cyril Moussilmani, Svein Rasmussen, Boujmaa Guilloul - were unanimous: polyester versions of the Natural Wave fin series outperformed the G10 originals, by providing a more responsive flex that allows the fin to breathe and deliver more power with more grip. Fast rockerlines are the basis for speed, early planing and acceleration. A subtle tail-kick release edge provides a free-flying ride and a smooth carving nature in tight turns Fish Scale pads for a unidirectional grip. Grips when you need it to, releases when you don't Narrower pin tails in the tail tip of the Kode 86, 94 and 103 for a larger variety of turning ability. Spiraling vee concept creates more vee in the front of the board than in the tail: more front foot carving power and a more forgiving nature in rotational freestyle moves. Drake Natural Wave polyester fins (68, 74, 80, 86 models) Drake Crossover CNC G10 fins - designed by Curtis Hesselgrave (94, 103 models) Drake Freeride Glide Carbon Prepreg fins (112, 122 models) Double-screw fittings for the back footstrap for maximum insert shear resistance (74, 80 models). The Kode 68 also features an extra thin tail that requires the back strap to be mounted on an offset angle. Heel Bumpers on the 68, 74 and 80 models Harder release edge rails with a lower apex: more aggressive and a sharper rail biting sensation with more speed and acceleration Increased rail volume in the tail of the Kode 86, 94, 103, 112 provide more carving forgiveness. Volume (litres): 122 Length (cm.): 236 Width (cm.): 72 Tail Weight (cm.): 46.5 Weight (kg.): 7.35 Sail range (Msq): 5.5-9.0 Fin : 7.35 Fin range (cm): 5.5-9.0 Fin box : Drake Freeride Glide 380 - $799.95

This evening at 1900 hours we head towards the fish hatchery with the hopes of seeing mommy grizzly and her 3 cubs come out of the woods to feed on salmon. Our companions stay at the hatchery and we double back to a creek where momma and the babes have been seen several hours before. We didn't ...

From the New York Times comes news that the Roman Catholic Church is allowing
indulgences again. The revelation compelled the Times to write this improbable paragraph:
There are partial indulgences, which reduce purgatorial time by a
certain number of days or years, and plenary indulgences, which eliminate all of it, until another sin is committed. You can get one for yourself, or for someone who is dead. You cannot buy one — the church outlawed the sale of indulgences in 1567 — but charitable contributions, combined with other acts, can help you earn one. There
is a limit of one plenary indulgence per sinner per day.

Sirius XM, the satellite broadcaster who only recently combined their previously-competitive channel offerings and cut a whole bunch of the popular stations, suddenly has an even more uncertain future. The company is preparing for a possible bankrupty filing, which "could come within days," according to the New York Times. However, this may just be a crazy high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with EchoStar/Dish Network bigwig Charles Ergen, who controls a whole bunch of Sirius' bulging debt. Ergen would apparently have to make a formal offer to purchase the company sooner than later if he wanted to avoid the bankruptcy mess, so it's kind of like Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin (formerly in charge of former Party Ben employer CBS awesome radio!) is saying pony up or watch us go bye-bye. Gutsy!

You really want to stimulate the economy? Quit whining and start
partying. Need inspiration in these dark and gloomy economic times?
Join the Krewe du Vieux,
New Orleans satirical marching organization, as they jump start the
Mardi Gras season with floats themes such as the "Salute to Trickle
Down Economics" and "Investments in Stocks & Bondage." The rest are
just are just too titillating to mention. The group is known for
raunchy floats: think giant sperms and lady parts. Mardi Gras season
officially starts with the Krewe du Vieux parade today and climaxes
(yes, I said it) February 24.
And keep this in mind: Louisiana is one of three states in the country that recorded job gains, not losses, in December, so they must be doing something right.

Never Mind The Kelo, Here's Scott Bullock
Scott Bullock, senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, represented the plaintiffs before the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark eminent domain case Kelo vs. City of New London.
"Reason: Are you surprised by the decision?
Scott Bullock: Well I was surprised. It was rather shocking that a majority of the Supreme Court would permit this type of abuse. We're in an America where, as Justice Sandra Day O'Connor points out, church property can be taken for a Costco, a farm can be turned into a factory, and a neighborhood can be leveled for a shopping mall. Most people cannot believe that this can happen in this country and the Supreme Court gave sanction to that with their decision."
Thanks to Chris Steins
