Jess Deady's curator insight, May 4, 2014 8:50 PM
To be a megacity like this, you have to conform to urbanization. There is no possible way to have such a populated and crowed city with farmlands around. This is a place of business yet residential areas, it also is where the marketplaces are and where kids go to school. Megacities need to be a part of an urban society in order for them to stay afloat.
Bec Seeto's curator insight, October 30, 2014 6:07 PM
This is a great introduction to the demographic explosion of the slums within megacities. This is applicable to many themes within geography.
Sarah Cannon's curator insight, December 14, 2015 10:20 AM
I can't image or even relate to the experience of living in a place like this. With rivers polluted right outside your house. And those rivers are what people bathe in and wash their clothes. I can't imagine not being able to access clean drinking water or lacking food. The people in Dhaka endure so much their whole lives, a good percentage of them will always live in poverty.

President Mugabe's economic mismanagement of Zimbabwe has brought the country poverty and malnutrition. After 36 years in charge, he's looking to extend his rule by 5 more years.

Poverty at the national level is usually not a function of limited resources, but more often it is a sign of weak institutions. This is but one example of how governmental mismanagement can put a country's developmental progress back decades.

Driven by necessity, Israel is learning to squeeze more out of a drop of water than any country on Earth; researchers have pioneered new techniques in drip irrigation, water treatment and desalination. "The Middle East is drying up," says Osnat Gillor, a professor at the Zuckerberg Institute who studies the use of recycled wastewater on crops. "The only country that isn't suffering acute water stress is Israel." That water stress has been a major factor in the turmoil tearing apart the Middle East, but Bar-Zeev believes that Israel's solutions can help its parched neighbors, too — and in the process, bring together old enemies in common cause.

This video from the Economist shows how shifting political situations in one country can create some powerful ripples elsewhere. It also shows how fluid geopolitical alliances can either embolden a waxing power, or create anxiety among states that might be waning in regional influence. Supranational allegiances can weigh heavily on smaller states.

"It is estimated that 97 per cent of all trade – the things we buy in shops – will have been transported in containers by ships at sea. The container vessel, stacked high with uniformly-sized metal boxes, has become a symbol of our globalized world. This is a world of imports and exports, a world where moving things across huge distances keeps the price of daily commodities low as items are manufactured in one place, then packaged in another, before arriving on the shores where they will eventually be sold. In recent geographical literature, attention has turned to the world at sea – a space traditionally overlooked. Geography means 'Earth-writing' and geographers have taken the origins of the term very seriously. They have written primarily about the Earth: the ground, the soil, the land. The sea is something 'out there' – seemingly disconnected from our everyday lives. However, an appreciation of the world as made from flows and connections has enabled geography to recognize that the sea is essential to our landed life." http://wp.me/p2Ij6x-5DS

The article highlights the ecological problems that Mexico City faces (high-altitude exacerbates air pollution, interior drainage worsens water pollution, limited aquifers that are overworked lead to subsidence, importing water outside of the basin requires enormous amounts of energy, etc.). just because the article doesn't use the word 'geography' doesn't mean that it isn't incredibly geographic.

Today, to the southeast of Block Island, there are five new structures rising from the ocean. These are the towers of the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF), the first offshore wind energy installation in the United States. The turbines will generate 30 megawatts of energy; providing electricity to 17,000 households on Block Island and coastal Rhode Island (McCann, 2016), and replacing the diesel generators that previously powered New Shoreham. The turbines are on schedule to begin turning in November 2016 once commissioning is complete.

"While it is easy to understand getting excited about maps, different cultures and environments, and even being better citizens through geography, it is harder to see how geographic knowledge can lead to good jobs or meaningful careers. In recent years, people have discovered that large numbers of societal problems have geographic dimensions, and that education and training in geography provides essential skills and knowledge for real-world problem solving. As a result, geography has become a necessary ingredient in hundreds of different jobs. This assortment of careers helps demonstrate the wide array of employment opportunities that exist for graduates with education in the field of geography.

text: MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that Achilles Corp., a leading Japanese manufacturer of industrial products, has adopted Honeywell's next-generation Solstice ® Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA) for use in its line of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) building insulation sold under the trade name Achilles Airlon FR-FO. According to Achilles Corporation, spray foam systems formulated with Solstice LBA demonstrate about 25 percent better thermal insulation performance than water-blown systems. Foam blowing agents allow closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation to expand and provide the majority of the foam's excellent insulating properties. Solstice LBA has a global warming potential of 1, which is 99.9 percent lower than today's most commonly-used blowing agent, HFC-245fa, a hydrofluorocarbon, while retaining its insulating performance. "Honeywell is committed to developing technologies that help our customers produce energy-efficient materials that are better for the environment," said Sanjeev Rastogi, business director for Honeywell Fluorine Products. "We are delighted to help Achilles introduce a new class of spray foam insulation in Japan that benefits from our expertise in developing and supplying high-performance, energy-efficient, and low-global-warming-potential solutions." Solstice LBA is being adopted by SPF manufacturers around the world that are looking to reduce their environmental footprint and comply with environmental and energy efficiency regulations. Solstice LBA is nonflammable and is not a volatile organic compound. It is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. Honeywell is currently providing commercial quantities to customers, and is building world-scale production capacity for Solstice LBA that is expected to come online early this year. Blowing agents from Honeywell can be used in a wide range of applications, including household refrigerators and freezers, insulated architectural panels, and refrigerated shipping containers.

Looking For Good Ways To Market Through Email? Try These Ideas!
The Internet has given businesses a brand new world for reaching customers.
Do not ever send out unsolicited emails to unsuspecting customers. Your emails could be flagged as spam if you send them to people who did not request them. This is very bad for business and might even get your IP address blocked by certain Internet providers.
Make your emails personal as you possible. As with many other types of marketing, a customer is more likely to engage in a business transaction with you once you establish a personal relationship. For instance, if you are aware of the reasons for them signing up with your emails, add that reason in an email to them.
If you do not get their permission, you could reported for spam.
You should avoid boring or overwhelm your customers with too much content in the emails which contain excessive content. Focus on one topic per email and write a short copy which entices your customer to click through to read more. Your clients will appreciate not have too much information.
Educate yourself on everything you can find on the subject of email marketing using whatever tools necessary.You may find books in libraries and on the web. You might be able to find a local workshop or class to get hands-on teaching to help you learn more about email marketing.
Use A/B testing of your subject line variations. This lets you know which subject lines garner higher open rates and which need some work.
Make sure you have permission from the subscriber before you decide to send them an email. It could become bad enough that people decide not desiring to do business with you at all and completely detach themselves from your company.
Avoid sending major email marketing near holidays. People do not have time to check their emails as much since they are off doing things rather than sitting at their computers. There are always going to be exceptions to this rule.These might include emails about Black Friday specials or other holiday sales your company may be having.
If you don't, people may not trust you and that makes your business look bad. Some ISPs may even blacklist your emails, which can have a negative impact on your business.
It is true that the Internet has opened up a whole new world of doing business. Email is a great marketing tool that all businesses should consider using to better communicate with their customers. The before mentioned tips should help you be able to successfully market clients via email.

9/16/13-"Female wearing a newsboy cap."
I'm going to keep this brief. Because I'm really behind again. And I've forgotten the details needed to keep this not-brief.
Did not want to get out of bed this (that?) morning. Choir was uneventful. We sang, except my voice kept breaking because I didn't get enough sleep.
I have selectively eliminated Econ from my memory.
Lunch, well...I don't remember lunch either. Which means that--probably--nothing worth reporting occurred. In Spanish, we went to the computer lab and did things with computers. In a Spanishy fashion.
In Anatomy, N. took a picture of me with his iPhone, using an app for blind people that describes photos.
"Female wearing a newsboy cap."
Why does N. have an app for blind people, you ask? He's going to be blind for a week for his senior project.
We looked at bones again. N. wrote all of their attributes on an index card. We determined that a typical lumbar vertebra looks like a moose.
While we were comparing a humerus to Francine's, a classmate--specifically, a boy by the name of P.--began picking up random handwriting samples and determining whether they were masculine or feminine.
"What do you think this one is?" P. asked a girl nearby, showing her a familiar-looking index card.
"Really? I think it's female."
"I guess, but...no..."
N. broke through the crowd at this point and snatched for the paper. "Well, it'd better be male, 'cuz it's MINE!"
That's just about all I remember.
Under thirty minutes. Woohoo! I've got time to do things now! Things like...Calculus homework...

Friday's better-than-expected second-quarter GDP report is fueling talk about the end of the recession, which may become a self-fulfilling prophecy, says Christopher Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi.
"It's so psychological right now," Rupkey says, joking his old economics professors are junking their regression models in favor of psychology courses. "I don't want to shoot down the V-shaped recovery story because anything can happen and it is self-fulfilling."
Rupkey does believe the recession probably ended in May or June and that third-quarter GDP will be positive, if only because inventories have been slashed so much; because of how GDP is calculated, just a slowing in their rate of decline could add as much as 4% to growth. "We should be 31 days into a positive GDP growth quarter," he says.
More important than GDP is the Fed's industrial production data, which is next reported in Aug. 14, Rupkey says. "The minute that turns up," the recession is over.
But the economist's optimism about the sustainability of the recovery is guarded in part for the same reason he's upbeat about the current quarter.
"In the 1970s and 1980s businesses were flying blind," he recalls. "Now, everyone is pretty much on the same page....and the groupthink at the moment is 'it's going to be a sluggish recovery'."
That mindset is being fueled, in part, by Ben Bernanke's dour outlook, Rupkey says, suggesting regulators have to walk a fine-line between cheerleading and talking down -- especially in the age of instant information.

When Tempted to Ask, Why Me? (9 of 10) by Roger Thomas
This content is part of a series.When Tempted to Ask, Why Me? (9 of 10)
Come As You Are
Roger Thomas
John 9:1-12
March 18, 2001
Jesus saw a blind man! With that simple introduction, our text begins one of the longest miracle stories in the book. The entire ninth chapter is devoted to the event and the following after math. The Pharisees were upset again that the man had been healed on the Sabbath. Their concern was not so much for the sanctity of the Sabbath as it was respect for their rules and authority. Religious people still sometimes get upset when good things happen that they can't control. What an upside down set of priorities! Jesus also used a longer than ordinary process. He spat on the ground, made some mud, put it in his eyes, and then sent the man to a pool to wash.
According to my count this is the sixth of the seven miraculous signs that John records as evidences for faith in Jesus. John says that his whole purpose for recording these special events is that we who read about them can have access to the same saving faith as those who first witnessed them. In 20:30-31 John writes, "Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." In reality this story is about you and me and trust in Jesus, not Pharisees, a blind man, mud, and the Pool of Siloam.
In these seven miracles, Jesus demonstrates his ability to meet us at the point of our greatness need. He touches our lives where we are the most helpless. Here it is not only the condition of the man that is the topic of concern; the discussion centers on why he is this way. This is often our question in the midst of life's difficult circumstances: Why? Whose fault is it? Why me?
Why is this man blind? Why was he born that way? Why is anyone blind? Few of us can understand what life would be like without sight. I ...

Briteq BT-W30FC Mk2 LED moving head
When designing the W30FC MK2, Briteq set out to make a compact yet versatile moving head - and they definitely succeeded. This small moving head is equipped with just three 10W CREE LEDs, yet it produces a massive light output. The applied CREE LEDs are fully RGBW and known for perfect colour blends. Combined with a 25-degree beam angle, this moving head is an incredibly versatile device that is great for many occasions.
Briteq W30FC MK2: compact yet powerful
Why make a large moving head if you can get the same results from a smaller fixture? Not only is a smaller fixture easier to transport, it also has a mechanical advantage in the sense that it can do with less power to move. The W30FC moving head has a pan of 540 degrees and a tilt of 270 degrees as well as rapid strobe effects thanks to LED technology.
You can use the W30FC for many things. It makes a perfect wall wash, but also a great compact effect beam to light up truss constructions, for instance. The effect of this fixture is greatly enhanced if you use several at the same time. You can daisy chain control data and power to another fixture. The W30FC is a genuinely professional moving head.

Franchise has been bought business not started in time
I have taken a franchise before 6 months and still there business has not started. I have taken franchise for internet service provider, they told they will start within 1.5 month and its clearly written on the agreement and I have opened an office before 5 months and my expenses are running day by day and they're still telling me that they will start tomorrow, I am really interested of what possibilities exist of getting the full money back with interest?
Both the parties are bound by the terms of the agreement. Since one and half month has already been passed, legally speaking the other side is bound to compensate you for the delay it causes. However the compensation may vary or differ if the agreement speaks of something else. So before making any final comment, it is very important to look into the contents of the franchisee agreement especially compensation part.

How increase the length of wire to line connection
I need to extent the wires on a power supply in a luminaire so that they reach the supply voltage in a remote junction box. They are 14g stranded copper. Can I solder on wires with the additional length I need and then use shrink tubing around the joint or do I have to use wire nuts or both.
Google "vinyl insulated butt splices"
Ok. That's what I figured. All of this will be done in an aluminum enclosure that contains the PS and and is accessible. So the next question is, what defines a junction box?
Is this going to be inside or outside (the junction for the splice)? If outside, you need a junction box and wire rated for wet exposure. Other questions come to mind regarding how you are running the new wiring to the light (surface or behind walls, floors, etc) and if it needs to be protected from damage?
Just use wire nuts. No need for but splices and crimpers.
This is an outdoor canopy light. I'm disconnecting the Universal ballast/caps from the line voltage so that I can wire in a PS that will run LED lights to replace the metal halide. The PS comes with only 6" of wire but is rated to be IP67 and is mounted near to the LED modules. Currently, the line in is wire-nut connected to the ballast but there's no specific junction box so I assume the canopy enclosure must qualify as such.

I am scheduled for a Tummy tuck & augmentation in 17 days. I lost 100 lbs over 3 yrs. Now 5'2-171 lbs and I can't loose any more-the lower abdomen below the naval has a considerable amount of hanging skin. I am going out of state for surgery. I have been on Medifast diet for 3 months to get to lowest weight before surgery. Should I go on a clean eatting plan? How can I best prepare?
Tummy Tuck and Augmentation-171 Lbs-5'2-lost 100- How Do I Prepare?
Doctor Answers 8
Preparation for a breast augmentation and tummy tuck.
The most important thing a patient can do prior to a large procedure such as a tummy tuck and breast augmentation is to maintain a healthy diet. This does not mean trying to lose as much weight up until the surgery. Rather, a stable weight with adequate protein intake to assist with helaing. The tummy tuck alone creates a very large open wound which will need to heal. This is a metabolic load for which proper nutrition is essential to help prevent complications such as fluid collections and wound healing. In massive weight loss patients, a stabilized weight for 6 months is imperative. For those who lost weight via gastric banding or bypass, a full nutrition panel and vitamin supplementation is important prior to surgery.

Nutrition and tummy tuck
Thank you for your question. It is best to have a stable weight at the time of surgery. Especially in the weeks right before and after surgery, it is important for you to maintain a healthy diet with a nice balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. A multivitamin can be a good supplement. If you have selected a surgeon, call his or her office for specific instruction. Good luck.

Diet before surgery
Different surgeons have different recommendations and sometimes they vary depending on the surgery so you should ask your surgeon about specific recommendations for you. Good luck with your surgery.
Preparing for Tummy Tuck and Augmentation- Think Healthy Stability
Hi there-
It sounds like you've worked very hard to achieve what you have, and I hope your surgical outcomes are everything you hope for...
With regard to how to best prepare for surgery, I would be concerned if one of my patients was pursuing a diet or lifestyle before surgery that they would not be able to maintain over the long term, or that might actually compromise their ability to heal after surgery.
I believe patients do best when their diets and lifestyles are healthy and stable at the time of surgery. In other words, the best way to prepare is to follow the balanced diet and exercise regimen you are most likely to be able to maintain over the long term.
As always, it is also in your best interests to ask these questions of the qualified, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I hope you chose to do your surgery- only they are familiar with their techniques and what successfully benefits their patients.

Healthy diet for tummy tuck
The best plan is a stable weight and healthy diet habits before a tummy tuck. It is nice to be at your best weight for the procedure, but more important that you now have healthy eating habits and a stable weight to carry you through.
Best of luck,
Peter Johnson, MD

Preparing for tummy tuck
A healthy diet with extra protein, multivitamins with extra minerals and perhaps iron are always good steps to take when preparing for surgery. You should check in with your doctor's office since surgery is just 2 weeks from now. Maybe they have some special instructions.

Prepare for Tummy Talk and Breast Augmentation?
Congratulations on your significant weight loss.
Your plastic surgeon will have a specific list of "do's and don'ts" to help you prepare prior to surgery. This list will likely include the avoidance of nicotine and certain medications etc. A "clean eating plan" is not usually recommended.
Considering that you are about to undergo a major procedure few general words of advice may be helpful:
1. Make sure you are doing the procedure for the right reasons (for yourself) and that you have realistic expectations. Be aware that an improvement in the "problem area" may not translate to an overall improvement in your life situation. You are bound to be disappointed with results of the procedure if your motivation for doing the surgery is not internally driven.
2. Time your surgery carefully; generally, it is not a good idea to have surgery done during or immediately after a stressful period in life (for example divorce or death of a loved one). The additional stress of surgery will undoubtedly be more challenging to deal with if a patient's emotional reserves our already exhausted. Remember, that an improvement in your physical appearance will not translate to an improvement in your life situation.
3. If possible speak to patients who have undergone similar procedures and query them about the toughest times of their recovery period. Any practical hints previous patients can provide may be very helpful.
4. Make sure you are aware of potential complications that may arise how to reach your surgeon if necessary.
5. Make sure you have a strong and patient support system (several people if possible) in place who have time/patience to take care of you. Arrange for professional nursing if any doubt exists regarding the availability and/or stamina of your caretakers.
6. Be patient with the healing process, understanding that it will take several weeks to months to feel "normal" again. It may also take many months/year to see the end results of your surgery.
7. Be prepared to distract your mind with things of interest such as books, magazines, and movies.
8. Expect less of yourself; do not go back to work, school or chores too early and let others take care of you (for a change).
9. Pick your surgeon carefully (a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon) and trust in his/her advice. Keep in close communication with your surgeon and do not hesitate to communicate questions/concerns and the emotional swings that you may experience.
10. Resume all medications that you were using preoperatively when cleared by your plastic surgeon and stop the use of narcotics and sedatives as soon as feasible after surgery.
11. Keep in mind the end results as you go through the tougher emotional times after your surgery.
Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.

It was her newest favorite possession - not that she'd let it out, but it was still second to the Star of David she had worn for years. Some things just aren't replaceable. However, the two items were swapped out on a regular basis.
The item that had wormed it's way into Ziva David's heart was a gift from her team for her birthday. Perhaps they knew how much she loved it, but they never said anything about; although they each wore a similar grin when they saw it resting against her shirt (or skin depending who you were).
It had become a habit to play with it when she was bored or thinking; the pendant just begged to be played with. It was at a moment when Ziva was playing with it that she really studied it. Sapphire, Aquamarine, another Sapphire, Diamond, Citrine, Ruby, and lastly another Citrine. It was an odd combination of gems, but she treasured it. It represented her not-by-birth Family. Ducky, Abby, Gibbs, McGee, Tony, and herself.
Abby had rambled on about how the diamond was just a 'filler' stone, but nonetheless a pretty stone.
It was a group gift, apparently. Instead of buying several small gifts that would get forgotten over time, they would give her something unforgettable. And it was. Although, they did give her something independently as well, which she found amusing as they approached her trying to be inconspicuous.
Along with the necklace, McGee had found the meanings of the stones and had printed the sheet out for her. Looking about the bullpen, she noticed that everyone was preoccupied and decided to look over the paper.
Sapphire. Ducky. Out of the list of traits, he was definitely wisdom and perhaps clear thinking.
Aquamarine. Abby. She was many of the traits. Hopeful. Beautiful. Friendly. Loyal. Perhaps perception was the right one. She could see the diamond underneath anything.
Sapphire. Gibbs. He was truth and faith without reasonable doubt. Purity just didn't seem applicable to the gruff man.
Citrine. McGee. He was courageous and strong. Even if he doubted his abilities when going against one of his team. With anyone else, it seemed that he could take down anyone, but it seemed a combat with the team would make him doubt his every move. Ziva thought it was silly.
Ruby. Tony. He was devotion and enthusiasm. She had never met a more loyal man until she started working at NCIS. But there was more to him than that. He was love. He was her love. Yes, she loved everyone on the team, but not like she loved him. Clearly he felt the same way otherwise he wouldn't have presented her with his other gift, one she couldn't wear quite yet at work. Perhaps in due time.
She hesitated about thinking about the final stone. The other Citrine. She wasn't wise like Ducky. Nor as serene like Abby. She wasn't as faithful as Tony. She didn't see herself as strong as Gibbs nor as friendly as McGee. She didn't see herself as being too provident. She didn't believe in good luck. That left her with courageous. Perhaps she doubted herself like McGee.
A soft slap at the back of her head, caused her to jump as she looked to see her boss standing beside her. "Welcome back. No work, Ziva? I'm pretty sure McGee or DiNozzo would like some help."
She stammered slightly, and looked over to the two males who ducked behind their monitors to try and conceal their amusement. "Oh...I was just thinking about a cold case, I had an idea about it."
Gibbs just looked amused as he walked off. Yes, she was courageous. Or maybe she had just spent too much time with Tony. Letting the necklace fall from her fingers she turned back to her computer, a grin on her face as she thought once more about her family.

i own a salvage yard and we buy cars from different locations, auctions ect. we were getting ready to scrap a specific car that we bought from an auction about 8 months ago and inside hidden in the door panel was 2 S&W firearms a semi auto and a revolver. what can i do? do i just turn them into the police, or is there a legal way to take possesion of them? looking for advice so i know my next move.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
You will probably have to get law enforcement involved.
Imagine if you didn't, and they were linked to "something bad", and then found to be in your possession..................
Just sayin'.

turn them in, if they are linked to a murder or robbery it can get ulgy
They could even lead to a reward if it helps solve a case. This is one of those situations that isn't worth the troubles it could cause to do it by any other way than right. Turn them in to to law and hope that they are clean and forgotten so you get an unexpected gift of a few free firearms.
Edit to add, what part of NC are you in? I may have a car for you if your close to the Hickory area.

I'd definitely call law enforcement. Let them know that if the guns turn out to be clean you'd like to "salvage" them. After all - that's your business. I'd find out if they were stolen or used in a murder for sure. If the police decide to keep them even if they're clean then oh well.

I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here but, since you own a salvage yard & have undoubtedly discovered questionable items before, what is unique about "a gun" that legally compels you to turn them in? A gun is not inherently evil nor is it any more likely to be connected to a crime than is a chainsaw or a crowbar. Are there Federal or North Carolina laws requiring a particular course-of-action? Is there any method by which a civilian can check a gun's serial number against the NCIC? After all, you have a clear claim of ownership for the vehicle. Doesn't the affirmative burden of proof therefore shift to the prosecution to connect you with any gun-related criminal activity? Seems to me your alibi is well-established unless there is, in fact, laws addressing these particular circumstances.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
Report them to PD. This could help solve a open case , or nail down a criminal who might otherwise get away.

We had a similar situation here, where two guns were found in a place that had been turned over to a not-for-profit thrift store; basically, the family was pressing to be out of the picture, they turned the place over to the ministry that ran the thrift store, then headed for the hills.
In cleaning things out, we found the two weapons, and just called the local sheriff. They sent a deputy out, he ran the serial numbers and found nothing on them, so they were ours to keep and sell.
But you need to have LE at least run the numbers; as previously stated, if they were used in a crime and were being sought, and then found in your possession with no explanation, no amount of explaining would help at that point.
I'm in favor of gun control -- I think every citizen should have control of a gun.

To two guns left by prior customer in the headliner of a van. The two guns were found on a random traffic stop .Customer had no idea they were up there. After sitting in jail for a few days they dropped the charges on my customer. One of the guns where used in a murder.
Def call LEO and let them run the numbers. I would hold onto the firearms if they are reported stolen and have the owner contact you. Owner may not want them any longer.
You do not know, what you do not know, until you realize that you do not know it
One thing you know for certain: they're not yours.
One thing that's entirely possible: they might well have been used in a felony at some point, something you don't want to be accused of via mere possession.
Thus, calling the law enforcement in your community is the only way to go. Let them handle it. They'll indicate if it's a claimable item at some point, statutes allowing.

The Creator of Time Warner, Steven J. Ross, Is Dead at 65
Published: December 21, 1992
(Page 2 of 3)
At the end of his life, Mr. Ross was consumed with taking global entertainment and news a step further. He had a vision of the television set as a computer-cum-entertainment box, offering hundreds of cable channels and services ranging from banking to ballot-casting, that consumers could choose among. He was particularly proud of a 150-channel cable system that Time Warner began installing in parts of New York City in late 1991. Lessons Learned In a Poor Home
Born Steven Jay Rechnitz in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn on April 5, 1927, the son of Jewish immigrants, Mr. Ross grew up in poverty. His father lost his money in the Depression and in 1932, struggling to find work, changed the family name to Ross.
But the family continued to struggle, and when Steven Ross was a teen-ager he was summoned to his father's deathbed to learn that his sole inheritance consisted of this advice: There are those who work all day; those who dream all day, and those who spend an hour dreaming before setting to work to fulfill those dreams.
"Go into the third category," his father said, "because there's virtually no competition."
This tale, which Mr. Ross often repeated to friends, assumed a central place in his life. "Dreamer," "visionary" and "risk-taker" were how Mr. Ross liked to describe himself -- seeking a contrast with the nuts-and-bolts manager obsessed with the short term whom Mr. Ross saw as the bane of American business.
But while Mr. Ross liked to compare himself to wealthy entrepreneur-executives like Steven Jobs, who helped found Apple Computer Inc., and William H. Gates, who became a billionaire after starting the Microsoft Corporation, now the nation's largest software company, Mr. Ross never owned more than 1 percent of Warner. He spared himself entrepreneurial risk.
Instead, he obtained increasingly elaborate employment contracts, filled with stock option plans, bonuses and other intricate financial devices designed to provide great reward without corresponding risk. And that seemed to lie at the heart of the outcry about Mr. Ross's compensation in the early 1990's: Founders and dreamers make their money in a different way than Mr. Ross did.
Mr. Ross got his grounding in money-making at an early age. By the time he was 8, he was carrying people's food home from the supermarkets on Saturdays for a nickel or collecting their laundry. He would borrow money from his father, walk 20 blocks to a supermarket, buy discounted cigarettes by the carton and sell them to his father by the pack for a profit.
After two years at Paul Smith's College, a small school near Saranac Lake in upstate New York, and a brief stint in the Navy, Mr. Ross went to work for an uncle in the garment district of Manhattan. A Family Business Grows and Grows
At the age of 26, he married Carol Rosenthal, the first of his three wives. Her father, Edward, owned a successful funeral parlor in Manhattan called the Riverside, and Mr. Ross began to show his talents.
His wife's uncle, a partner of Mr. Rosenthal, provided limousines for funeral services. Noting that the limousines were not being used at night, Mr. Ross arranged for a large limousine service to hire the cars in the evening. The limousine company became instantly profitable.
Mr. Ross worked full time at the funeral parlor, where his charming ways with grieving families were well received. But he had an appetite for new ventures, and in the late 1950's started Abbey Rent a Car with a bank loan. He later merged it with the Kinney garage business. An office-cleaning business owned by a cousin of Mr. Rosenthal and the funeral-parlor business were added to Kinney, and the company was taken public in 1962. Its market valuation was $12.5 million; its assets a hodgepodge.
Kinney eventually grew into Warner, a vast entertainment company with scant apparent link to the businesses with which Kinney started. But there were similarities. For all its size and diversity, Warner remained very much a family enterprise, owned and run by a close-knit group of scrappy entrepreneurs. It was short on structure and long on trust and freewheeling ambition. "You learn something, you decide, you do it, boom," was Mr. Ross's credo at the time.
The leap into entertainment came in 1969, when Kinney paid $400 million for the ailing Warner-Seven Arts film studio and record business, and two years later renamed itself Warner Communications.
There, in the entertainment business, Mr. Ross found his element. He introduced incentive-based compensation, put good people in place and let them get on with it. In the record business, for example, he relied on two executives, Ahmet Ertegun and Robert J. Morgado, to build a global record group. By 1991, the company's record sales had grown to more than $3 billion, producing operating profits of $550 million.
In Hollywood, he commanded unusual loyalty by paying very well and staying with people through good times and bad. Robert A. Daly, chief executive of the Warner Brothers studio for more than a decade, once said, "We'll kill for the company because we're made to feel like principals, not employees."

I see the other reviews aren't great on this product. I was just given a sample and I have to say I agree with the previous reviews... but, that's WHY I like it! It does have a beautiful pink, rosey scent - wouldn't wear perfume with it. And it doesn't give me a fakey, tan tint ... just a beautiful highlight and glimmer. And the oil is moisturizing, so it really makes my skin glow. Love, love, love.5
I purchased a full bottle of this because I love anything that gives you a highlight glow or a shimmer, but I'm just not happy with the smell of it. I can't explain what it really smells like because its different. Like nothing I've ever smelt before. So I will be returning since this is a pricey purchase for something I won't use. Bummer.,2
I bought this for my upcoming wedding and honeymoon because I want a little shimmer and adore moisturizers. I was hoping to use this as a little bit of a highlighter for contouring/highlighting my collar bone etc. I still will use it, as it does have a gorgeous shimmer. But the scent is SO strong! It will be great for my honeymoon....but I'm afraid the scent will fight with my wedding day perfume!!! The other downside of this product is that it doesn't spray on. I was expecting a spray nozzle of some sort but with this you pour it out.....I feel like that is too easy to mess up or get too much. Otherwise I have to use a sponge....and that's totally inconvenient. Overall, it is a successful shimmer oil, and its hydrating....it is just super strong scented and not a spray.....a bit disappointed.3

"How to Benefit Through Planned Giving"
Clark Kolterman, CSA Treasurer
What do the words "planned giving" mean to you? For most people, they mean writing a will. When structured properly, however, planned gifts can hold financial benefits for the donor as well as the recipient.
Many people believe that planned giving is simply giving your money away. Most planned giving vehicles are smart investments that can pay off during your own lifetime. Of course, using financial assets to benefit loved ones or to support specific causes may be the primary reason to consider planned giving in the first place. Consulting with your financial, legal or tax advisors can determine if your gifts may offer a return.
The following is a description of the most common planned giving vehicles and their key benefits:
Bequests A will or "bequest" is perhaps the simplest and most familiar method of leaving a legacy to friends, family and charitable organizations. Bequest can be general or specific in amounts, items and the individuals to whom they should be given, and under which conditions. This flexibility allows you to be both generous and true to your values.
Charitable Gift Annuity A gift annuity is a simple, contractual agreement that involves transferring assets to the charity in exchange for receiving payments for life for one or two persons. In addition to the valuable tax benefits and income you receive, you feel the great satisfaction of putting your gift to work in support of your beliefs.
Wealth Replacement Trust Perhaps you would like to make a sizable contribution but don't want to reduce the estate you pass on to your family. Life insurance is the typical solution. Depending on your age, health and tax bracket, the income tax savings from your charitable gift may be enough to cover the premium cost of the policy. Consult your legal and tax advisors to structure this option most advantageously."
Retained Life Estate Your home can become a significant gift to your favorite charity even if you are still living in it, and even if you want your spouse or other survivor to live there for life. By deeding your home to the charity while you are alive, you can obtain a sizable deduction for that tax year, depending on the value of the property and your age (and that of any person given life use). In addition, you retain the right to rent your home or make improvements to it.
Charitable Remainder Trust Although there is no single way to achieve all of one's personal and financial goals, a charitable remainder trust comes close. In the right circumstance, it can increase your income, reduce your taxes, unlock appreciated investments, rid you of investment worries and provide very important support. In a charitable remainder trust, you irrevocably transfer money, securities or other assets to a trust that will pay you an income for life or a period of years. At your death, the remaining principal goes to the charity. There are five variations of these trusts. To determine which is best for you, consult your trusted advisor.
Charitable Lead Trust If your goal is to provide an inheritance for your children, but you would also like to make a significant charitable gift through your estate, a charitable lead trust satisfies both objectives. You can establish a charitable lead trust while living or at your death. The income from the trust flows to a charitable organization, typically for a stated number of years. After that period, the assets inside the trust are distributed. Of all the vehicles available to donors, the charitable lead trust is among the most complex, yet can provide excellent tax benefits.
Leaving your legacy for future generations is a great way to make a difference in any organization important to you, such as CSA. Whether one wants to eliminate taxes or establish an increased income stream, there is a planned gift to meet just about every goal. Consult your legal or tax advisors to work on the structure right for you. Our CSA staff is willing and ready to assist you in formulating your avenue of support for the many programs in CSA. Indeed, to plan is to live the motto of "Promoting a Gluten-Free You!"
By Diane Eve Paley, Former CSA and AWCCF President
Planned giving helps individuals leave a legacy for the future. It can offer benefits to the donor as well as the recipient. The most common planned giving vehicles include: bequests, charitable gift annuities, wealth replacement trust, retained life estate, charitable remainder trust and charitable lead trust. Following are some tips to help you get started with planned giving.
- List your values. Think about the experiences, people and organizations that have mattered most in your life.
- Concentrate your generosity. From your list of values, determine a few organizations, such as CSA for example, that are important to you.
- Make a personal plan. How much can you afford to give? Remember that even seemingly small gifts can make a meaningful impact.
- Evaluate your choices. Investigate each charity and proceed only when you are convinced that they will put your gift to good use.
- Contact a trusted advisor to help with the plan.
A major planned gift is a wonderful way to express appreciation to any organization and help those in the future. CSA offers this advice to assist our membership in planned giving, not only to the many programs of CSA, but all the other many opportunities that exist in service to others.
Note: This information is not intended to be official advice for tax or investment consideration. Please contact an attorney, tax professional or planner to help you with your planned giving. CSA can offer assistance with names of qualified financial advisors by contacting our office.
The Future of CSA
The need for a strong CSA is great! As awareness increases, the needs of CSA increase and resources are needed to assure patient representation in Washington DC and with the medical community. The prevalence of celiac disease is one in 141, however, diagnosis is likely less than 20 percent. A gift of any level, combined other donations, enables programming to maximize the benefit to the membership of CSA.
Nature of contributions
Funds fall into two categories, namely designated/non-discretionary gifts or non-designated/discretionary gifts. The donor determines into which category they wish to place their gift. The Foundation, which is legally bound to abide by the donor's designation, will then disburse the donations accordingly. All actions of the Foundation are governed by its Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors must adhere to the wishes of the Donor for all designated gifts. Donations will improve and/or expand information and research about gluten-related conditions and treatments.
Memorial Donors may wish to review the current list of priority designations. Donors may choose a "perpetual fund," with the option of "earmarking the interest" for specific and/or special uses. Special endowments can be created. The memorial can be tailored to meet both your desires and satisfy all tax and legal requirements as well. All memorials will be recognized with a recite, those over $20 will be acknowledged with a letter and recite.
Tribute A tribute gift honors the living, often recognizing a special event such as an anniversary or birthday. It may be a way to also thank an individual or honor them with this gift to CSA. Donors may wish to review the current list of priority designations. Donors may choose a "perpetual fund," with the option of "earmarking the interest" for specific and/or special uses. Special endowments can be created. The memorial can be tailored to meet both your desires and satisfy all tax and legal requirements as well. All tributes will be recognized with a recite, those over $20 will be acknowledged with a letter and recite. Tribute cards requests may be directed to the CSA home office to honor special occasions.
The Celiac Support Association accepts gifts in many forms:
- monetary gifts/certificates of deposit
- real and personal property
- stocks, bonds and annuities
- memorials
- insurance policies (naming the Celiac Support Association as the beneficiary)
Cash donations
- Call toll free, 877-CSA-4-CSA to donate using a credit card.
- Download the Donation Form in PDF format and submit it with a check or credit card information.
- Designate CSA on your payroll-giving plan, like The United Way.
- Utilize employer matching gift programs where available.
- Include CSA in your yearly donation plans including Giving Tuesday.
Stocks and Bonds
- Download the brochure, Steps For Giving for ideas on donating stocks and bonds.
- Include CSA in your estate planning.
Time and Talents
- Contact your local CSA chapter to offer your time and talents locally. See the Local Support page for contact information.
- Contact the national CSA office to offer your time and talents in areas such as technical writing, grant writing, fund raising, for A World Celiac Community. See below for contact information.
Financial Planning
Wise money management strongly suggests that competent legal counsel and tax advice be utilized when planning for the disposition of a lifetime of material wealth. The Board of Directors of CSA respectfully encourages you to seek such assistance as you consider making charitable gifts or planning your last will and testament.
An Opportunity for You
It is a continuing challenge to provide assistance, programs, educational offerings, and research grants to the gluten-free community and membership.

Join River Tees Rediscovered, the Cleveland Industrial Archaeology Society and Teesside Archives on a lovely riverside walk.
RSPB Saltholme is joining people across the country, who are making, wearing and sharing green hearts, to Show The Love for the places, people and life they cherish and want to protect from climate change.
Part of a nation-wide effort, led by The Climate Coalition, the campaign aims to encourage people to show how much they care about climate change and want to see a shift to clean, secure energy within a generation.
Show The Love is an annual campaign - now in its third year - organised by The Climate Coalition of over 100 charities including RSPB, Oxfam, The National Trust, The Women's Institute, WWF and CAFOD. At the heart of this year's campaign sits 'Love Song', a powerful three minute film made by Ridley Scott Associates, featuring Charles Dance, Miranda Richardson, Elbow and the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir.
Liz Armitage, of the RSPB, said: "It's easy to think that extreme weather and changing weather patterns are things that only happen a long way away. But the reality is we are already seeing the effects in this country.
"So, with Valentine's Day coming up, the Show The Love campaign is looking for people to share and celebrate the places that are special to them. For the RSPB, our reserves are all special places, so it is fitting for us to be hosting events and activities to welcome everyone to these wonderful places."
RSPB Saltholme, near Stockton-on-Tees, has its own climate story to tell: With increasing unpredictability in the weather, effective water management for both high or low water levels is vital to maintain wildlife rich habitats. At Saltholme, the team works hard to make the most of water resources. There is a programme of maintenance of the site's sluices and ditches to ensure the water stays where it is needed. This means the team are able to store water when needed and move it to where it is required to ensure suitable habitat for breeding waders and wintering wildfowl.
The reserve is inviting visitors to join in with a range of activities and a special 'Show the Love' trail in support of the campaign, from 11 – 26 February. There will also be a number of other activities taking place across the country. For more details, visit fortheloveof.org.uk/map-of-events.
Beth Tegg, Show The Love Project Director, said: "Our changing climate is already making its mark on our landscape and our lives, but it's not too late to protect them. We can have clean and secure energy within a generation if enough of us show we care. We hope people make, wear and share green hearts this February to show their love for the things we could lose and want to protect from climate change for our children and theirs."
To launch the initiative The Climate Coalition has also published 'Weather warning' - a report, analysed by the Priestley International Centre for Climate at Leeds University, highlighting how a host of much-loved habitats, iconic landmarks and everyday places in Britain are already being impacted by the effects a changing climate. From gardens to pubs and from ancient sites to rivers - too many special places are bearing the brunt of extreme weathers scientifically linked to climate change.
Professor Piers Forster, Director of the Priestley International Centre for Climate, said: "In this report we used cutting edge science to understand how climate change is already affecting our weather patterns and indeed our day-to-day lives. We found that there are a host of special places around the UK - from our coastlines, churches, farms, woodlands, village cricket pitches to the local pub, which have already been badly impacted by our changing climate."
