Project SEARCH (Supporting Evaluation and Research to Combat HIV/AIDS)
Program Description
The Center for Global Health & Development is one of five awardees in Project SEARCH, which is made possible through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The goal of the project is to carry out research and evaluation to improve the coverage, quality, and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs in developing and resource-poor countries. In addition, it serves to strengthen local capacity in HIV/AIDS research and public health assessments through training and in-country collaborations.
Project SEARCH is used for:
- Developing and evaluating models of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs
- Conducting public health evaluations to investigate effectiveness of interventions and translating results into public health guidelines
- Identifying and disseminating best practices to improve program efficiency and effectiveness
- Developing national and international standards and indicators for the purpose of program monitoring and evaluation
- Conducting analyses of clinical, community-level, and population-based epidemiologic, demographic, and surveillance data
- Testing program implementation models including research on practical applications of new technologies and intervention models in resource-poor settings
- Carrying out feasibility studies, community-preparedness studies, and policy analyses
- Developing local capacity in applied research and ethical procedures by increasing technical skills of developing country investigators and providing technical assistance to in-country institutions
The CGHD leads a consortium under Project SEARCH that includes six institutional partners and several dozen individual collaborators around the globe. Our goal is to provide recommendations for policy and programs to maximize the public health benefit of HIV/AIDS programs in developing and resource-poor countries.
CGHD projects administered under Project SEARCH include
- Orphans and Vulnerable Children Comprehensive Action Research (OVC-CARE). OVC-CARE is USAID's primary instrument to bridge the gaps in our experience and knowledge about how to scale-up services to the 145 million children around the world who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS or other causes.
- Operations Research among Key Populations in Ghana. In conjunction with the USAID Mission in Ghana, the CGHD provides technical assistance in conducting operational research among key populations to inform current and future HIV/AIDS prevention efforts in Ghana.
More information about Project SEARCH is available on the USAID website.

I'm in Love with My Younger Sister
Hi, there himekassy-chan here! I have come up with
A new story for Naruto and Hinata!
I hope you all like this strange story!
I don't own Naruto Maa-kun does! Aka Masashi Kishimoto!
But someday I will! Just wait and see! Just kidding!
Chapter 1: My Sin
How should I start with this story of my life that is consider a sin? Should I start with my feelings towards the girl I shared my mother's womb with? Or should I start how I became to see her more than a sister? Or should I start to explain how I became obsess with her?
Well it doesn't matter how I start this story, you would know eventually when this story starts to process and reveal my secret. The secret I tried so hard to hide from everyone. Even from my best friend, my parents, and most importantly my love. The girl I have love since we were growing up together, living together, sharing everything, and having the same parents. Yes, if you have figured it out already, let me confirm your theory; I'm in love with my twin sister.
"Naruto, honey hurry up or you're going to be late for school" my mom shouted from downstairs. I'm 16 years old and my name is Naruto Namikaze. I live with my parents and my twin sister in a warm loving home, located in Konoha Village.
"I'm almost ready, mom!" I yelled back trying to tie my uniform tie around my neck. I finally get the stupid tie in place it's a black tie the same color as the pants and jacket, the school shirt is white. I look myself over my mirror making sure everything is in place and not forgetting anything, as I'm looking myself over, I hear the door to my room creak open, through my mirror I can see her trying to sneak behind me. I pretend I didn't hear her and let her have her fun, once again I look myself over, fixing my spiky blonde hair while pretending I haven't notice her yet. I see her getting closer when suddenly…
"BOO!" she yells in my ear and wraps her arms around my waist. I tense at her touch and her breath against my neck at that moment I regretted letting her sneak up behind me. My boys hormones start to awake the moment she touch me. It's like if her soft, delicate skin can activate my hormones the moment she touches me.
"Hinata, why do you always have to sneak behind me?" I ask her removing her arms from my waist and pushing her off of me before I lose control over my body from the hormones that are rising inside of me. She falls down to the floor on her butt and looks at me with a cute pout on her beautiful face.
"Naru-kun, you don't have to be mean" She said standing up. Turning around to get my backpack I gave her the glare I always giver her when she is starting to annoy me.
"You're annoying, Hinata" I said walking out from my room with her following. Walking down the stairs she starts to speak of random things, I catch some words for I'm not interested on what she's saying. The only thing I'm paying attention to is her soft, sweet, and angelic voice that has haunt me since the day I found I was in love with her, the same day I found it was a sin to love your sister in a different way.
"And then Sakura was getting pissed because the line wouldn't advance and the cashier wouldn't hurry, and you know Sakura is not a patience person" she stop and look at me to see if I was listening so I only nodded my head, she taking it as a sign to continue. "Then, this hot dude got in the line in front of us making Sakura even more pissed. I politely ask him to get out from the line and you know what he did?" She got my whole attention when she said 'hot dude' how dare her say that to me, we entered the kitchen and I could see my mom making breakfast but I didn't see my dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper like he usually does in the mornings and drinking his dark coffee. I guess he already went to work probably he has a meeting; well he is the Hokage of this village.
"Mom, Naruto isn't listening to me!" Hinata complain to my mother.
"Honey, please listen to what your sister has to say" my mom turned around and smiled at me. I took her appearance she looks kind of young compare to the women of her age, she's 36 years old with long red hair and shiny violet eyes filled with happiness, love, and laughter. Her body is very slim and has curves in the right places after having twins I don't know how can she have a models body! No wonder my dad never lays his eyes on other women, I mean there are lots of beautiful, young, and sexy women in this world… Why am I thinking this? I shouldn't be thinking of this I guess I'm proud of my dad for not cheating on my mom with another woman.
"Naruto, honey are you okay?" I snapped out of my thoughts shaking my head slightly. Ignoring her question I took my seat next to Hinata who was texting on her cell phone. Seriously, how can she text all day even in the bathroom she's texting.
"Hey, mom can I go to the mall with Sakura, Tenten, and Ino after school?" Hinata asks my mom lifting her eyes from screen. Mom lays the plate of food in front of us, she doesn't answer at first. I could see she was doubting on letting Hinata go to the mall. From the corner of my eyes I could see Hinata waiting impatiently starring at mom. After few minutes mom sighs and smiles at Hinata.
"Sure, Hime you can go, but you have to be home by dinner time. You know your Father doesn't like having dinner when one of us is not at home" Hinata jumps up from the chair runs to my mom and hugs her, mom smiles and hugs her back. Argh, now she's going to the mall, a place full of men, who are going to be after her. She's really popular with guys because of her beauty and nice personality. Because of this I lose my temper and end up fighting with the guys and a pissed of Hinata. My parents always think I'm an over protective brother, its sad how they don't know their son loves their daughter which is my sister.
"Naru-kun it's time to go to school" Hinata said standing from her chair and walking to the front door on her way grabbing her purple backpack. I do the same thing following her out the door. Not expecting the sun to be so shiny I covered my eyes and walk next to Hinata who is waving hi to her friends. They walk toward us and they greet me with a 'Good morning Naruto' Returning the gesture I walk ahead of them listening to their conversation, when suddenly I'm pushed to the ground and see a man with a Jason mask, my heart stops for a minute, my mind processing what's happening. Then, I hear Hinata and her friends laughing, rising my head to see what or who knock me to the ground I see my best friend bending over from laughing with the stupid mask on top of his head "You asshole! You almost made me shit on my pants" I yelled at him rage rising inside of me.
"That was awesome! You should have seen your face Naruto" he said laughing and pointing his finger at me. This idiot who does he think he is? Coming out of nowhere and scaring me! I stand up from the ground and punch him on the face, I could see I took him by surprise his face showed it. Blood came running down his nose, he raised his hand to his face and wipes the blood away while starring angrily at me.
"Hey, man what's your problem?" he asks.
"What's my problem you ask? My problem is you came out of nowhere wearing that stupid mask and almost giving me a heart attack, that's my problem" I said glaring at him.
"I'm sorry man, but you have to admit it was hilarious! I wish I had a camera… oh wait" he smirks at me evilly. "I forgot I told your sister to help me with this plan by recording everything that just happened. Hinata" He turns to Hinata and stretches out his hand for the camera Hinata is holding. She hands the camera to him and smiles at me. I stare at her making her back away to her friends, I can't believe the woman I love team up with my best friend and planned this prank on me! Those two are going to get it!
"Hinata I can't believe you team up with Sasuke-teme" I said disappointed at her, making her fill guilty. I know she doesn't like me to be disappointed at her, that's way I'm using this to my advantage.
"Naruto I'm sorry I just… um.. Sasuke said if I didn't help him he was gonna tell you that" she was interrupted by Sasuke.
"Hinata are you sure you want to tell him now?" He asked her walking towards her and holding her hand. Wait his holding her hand!
"What are you two talking about?" I ask getting confuse and more now that Sasuke is holding her hand.
"I'm sure Sasuke, he will find out eventually from someone. I want him to know from me" she said.
"Do as you wish Hinata" Sasuke looked at me his eyes fill with guilty and sadness.
"Hinata tell me what's happening" I walk towards them with my eyes still fix on their hands.
"Naru-kun, Sasuke and I…. we're dating" she whispered but it was loud enough for me to hear.

If you have a successful business that can operate in many locations regionally, nationally or internationally, you may want to consider using franchising as a growth vehicle.
Restaurants are commonly franchised, but businesses as varied as mold remediation, garage door repair, closet cabinets, medical clinics, medical labs, retail stores, house cleaning, tree fertilization, and car repair are among the 4,000 + franchisors in operation.
Franchising is an arrangement in which a business (the franchisor) expands by licensing out its business model to other businesses (the franchisee). The franchisee pays a fee up front to the franchisor for the right to open the business and for training. They also pay ongoing royalties (often a percentage of revenues, fixed fee, or fee built into the cost of goods supplied by the franchisor.)
Benefits of Franchising
Franchising has certain benefits for businesses seeking to expand. Licensing out your business model to others creates the opportunity for:
- Rapid market penetration
- Access to the capital for growth (from the franchisee)
- Management with "skin in the game"
- A community of like-minded people collaborating excellence to propel the system to new and greater heights
Businesses that benefit from the franchising model tend to be:
- Those that need widespread distribution, or units such as restaurants
- Those businesses that benefit from local ownership
- Those with a concept that can be taught in a relatively short period of time
- Those requiring significant capital to open the business
Drawbacks of Franchising
Franchising has certain drawbacks:
- New business model–While you know how to run your business, you will have to learn a new set of skills in running a system of franchisees.
- Upfront expenses–Franchising is highly regulated and requires the assistance of experienced franchise attorneys and consultants.
- Added regulation–Certain states require registration or filings before you can franchise.
Businesses that do not benefit from the franchising model tend to be:
- Those that require years of training to operate
- Those with authoritarian-type management
- Public companies and/or those with have access to significant capital
- Those distributing products or services through established businesses
Requirements for Franchising
The first requirement is that the franchisee must be able to make a profit and pay you a royalty. If your business model allows for both of those conditions, then consider other requirements:
- You need at least one, preferably several or many, company-owned operations with significant experience in operating the business
- Your business needs to be teachable
- Your business needs unique intellectual property and trademarks
- You need to be a person who can work with other people and not "be their boss"
- You need capital to pay for all of the legal and structural work that needs to be accomplished
Choosing a Franchise Expert
Many new franchisors use franchise business experts to help them put all the business aspects of the franchise system together. In choosing a franchise expert, consider these items in your selection process:
- Price–Some companies are expensive and may include in their package of services things you don't need. Make sure you only pay for what you need.
- Track record–How many documented successes do they have? Remember, it's not the number of companies they have worked with but how successful those companies are. Call those companies and see if they are happy with the services they received.
- Specialty–Your business is unique. You need to look carefully at what the expert produces; you don't want boilerplate intended for another business or type of business that suddenly becomes the basis for your franchise.
- Independent attorney–Always choose your own. Avoid using in-house attorneys or the attorney the expert recommends. You need to choose a franchise attorney who fits you and protects you, not one that protects the expert.
- One-to-one work– The staff of a franchising expert seldom has real expertise. Choose an expert who will work one-on-one with you.
- Clients–How long has the experts' clients remained with them? A good franchise expert should have clients who have continued to use them for many years. Franchising is complicated and good advice never grows old.
Jack Eberenz is a nationally known franchise expert who has held the titles of CEO, President, COO, CFO, Chairman of the Board and franchisee over the past 30 years.

LONDON (AFP) – Dozens of eurosceptic lawmakers from Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party were set to vote against Britain joining the European Arrest Warrant system on Monday although the motion is expected to be approved by parliament.
Between 50 and 100 MPs from the ruling party could cast their votes against the government in a backbench rebellion that comes amid growing tensions between London and Brussels and increased public support for the anti-EU UK Independence Party.
Interior minister Theresa May called on fellow Conservatives to distinguish between their desire for EU reforms and the vote on the warrant, which she said the country needed to get other EU countries to extradite wanted criminals to Britain.
"It helps us to tackle cross-border crimes, deport foreign criminals, track down those who seek to evade the law and bring them to justice," May said in a letter.
Some Conservative MPs have opposed the warrant saying it will make it too easy for Britons to be extradited on relatively minor charges and the government may be forced to rely on votes from the opposition Labour party to pass the measure.

The design, synthesis, and use of phosphonic acids for the surface modification of metal oxides
Hotchkiss, Peter J.
MetadataShow full item record
Phosphonic acids are known to bind strongly to a variety of metal oxide surfaces. Phosphonic acids were designed in order to impart specific properties to the surface of a range of metal oxides upon formation of a monolayer. A large number of novel phosphonic acids were synthesized and fully characterized. The binding of phosphonic acids to the surface of several metal oxides, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and barium titanate, was studied in detail and determined to be a mixture of bidentate and tridentate binding modes. The modification of several key surface properties of ITO by phosphonic acid modification was also studied. The work function of ITO could be increased or decreased with respect to unmodified ITO by controlling the dipole of phosphonic acids bound to the surface. Additionally, the surface energy could be substantially lowered by attaching phosphonic acids with non-polar terminal functional groups to the ITO surface. The ability to control these surface properties resulted in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) which showed superior lifetimes and stability with respect to OLEDs incorporating ITO without a phosphonic acid monolayer. In addition, the binding of phosphonic acids to a number of other oxides, such as zinc oxide and zeolites, was also studied.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The Lost Zeppelin (1929) is an epic spectacle from the very earliest days of sound pictures, and the primitiveness of its audio track is more than compensated for by the amazingly realistic visual effects. Produced while Admiral Byrd was making his first expeditions to the South Pole, and only two years after Lindberg's transatlantic flight, this film captures the earliest days of the globalization of media, when radio brought these triumphs to the eager ears of millions of people around the world.

Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 23 ratings.
This is a surprisingly good film to come from Tiffany-Stahl, a Poverty Row studio. The art direction and sets are above average. They obviously spent some money on them. Acting is slightly above average, as with most early talkies.
OK. It's old and the sound is bad and the acting borders on super melodramatic at times and the special effects and almost laughable. What else can I say about it? Well,m if you want to see one of the first adventure "talkies" this isn't that bad a choice.

Manawa Grindlay, Manaia
Everything Manawa's sickness stole from him, the Clown Doctors returned for a few minutes.
Young Manawa had been frequently unwell from the moment he was born, but just before Manawa's second birthday, mum Tineke's worst fears were confirmed: "I was with Manawa at the time when the specialists came to the room and told me Manawa had an immune deficiency disease called Chronic Granulomatous Disease. I was really shocked and scared."
Manawa's condition left him at risk of life-threatening infections, and he had to be kept in isolation, sometimes for weeks at a time. It robbed him of the chance to be a carefree, playful little boy like his brothers and sister.
But his diagnosis was just the beginning of a long journey, during which he spent months in hospital, sometimes in isolation. Manawa eventually underwent a bone marrow transplant which started his long and difficult road to recovery.
It was during these dark days that Tineke and Manawa had their first visit from the Clown Doctors. Tineke still remembers it vividly:
We had our curtain drawn and I could hear this 'Kia-Ora' from behind the curtain. It really melted my heart to hear that familiar language. It was just so comforting. Then they came out from behind the curtain; two bright, bubbly, sunny Clown Doctors. They got my little boy laughing and smiling, and they were just so lovely with him.Tineke, Manawa's mum
Tineke and Manawa had several visits from the Clown Doctors during their stay at Starship, and Tineke said Manawa's face lit up each time they entered his room. He'd forget about the pain and the fear as he giggled and clapped along with them.
Here at Starship, Clown Doctors play a special role bringing the gift of laughter to seriously ill children like Manawa, helping in their healing and recovery.
You too can help bring laughter and relief to sick young children like Manawa. Please donate today!

We could have basked in the beauty of the moment for hours had Cassie not shifted us back inside.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked laughing.
"Mircea needs you when you have a moment." She walked off muttering, "Finally."
I smiled and held Pritkin a bit tighter.
"How that vampyre knows no patience I'll never know." Pritkin ground a frown coming to his lips. I didn't like it there and smoothed it out with a finger.
"Well we could teach him some." I grinned and stood on my toes to kiss him. He readily complied but pulled back too quickly.
"It's probably about the war." He said.
"Oh. Yeah. That." I sighed and stood back on flat feet leaning against him. I ruined the moment by sneezing.
"Get changed and then join us."
"Alright. But I don't see why I can't just wear your coat it's got to be around here somewhere."
"I left it in France when we saved you. I'll see you in a minute."
I raced up the stairs to my room and quickly changed into jeans and the t-shirt I'd wanted that Pritkin had almost taken off me when we went shopping all that time ago. God had it really been that long ago? It felt like forever when in reality it was only a few months. Or, in other words, forever. I still hadn't worn the one shoulder t-shirt yet and I was willing to bet it would raise at least one eye brow in the room.
My hair was still soaked so I used magic to dry it in about five seconds leaving it slightly wavier and fuller than usual. Completely digging the look I threw some brown leather boots on that were still suitable to fight in even though they had a slight heel. I looked myself over in the mirror for a second before leaving. Dark blue jeans, Dark green top that had a low neck line and only one shoulder strap and dark brown almost black boots that laced all the way up to my knees and kickass hair. Awesome.
I took my time walking down the flight of stairs and opening the double doors to Mircea's rooms. Talk was coming from the dining room. I hadn't actually been in there and had to stop from oogling to keep up the cool appearance. Everything was gold gilded and Rafe's paintings sat everywhere, on the walls, ceilings, backs of chairs. Candles lit the table softly glowing on the plain white china and silver cutlery. The candle light caught on the gold in the decoration making the walls wink and gleam like a living entity in itself.
All the people at the table were dressed smartly apart from Pritkin who had used magic to dry his clothes and looked more casual than the rest of them but still smarter than me. There was a single place left at the table which I was gestured to by Mercia his gesture saying 'glad you could finally make it'.
"Now that we're all here," Mircea began looking round the table. Cassie was sat next to him next to who were Rafe, then Rasputin. I was at the head of the table with Jack to my right, to my left and down the other side of the table were Radu, Dory, Pritkin and Louis-Cesare. "We can outline the plan."
I'd not actually stayed in school long enough to sit in one of these types of meetings as per the syllabus. We would have all been put into groups not much unlike this one (ignoring the fact that most of us here were vampyres) and put to the test of planning out a battle. They would have done it a couple of months after I left. Now sat round the table I whished I was sat at the table with people I'd known since I was young.
I didn't let my nostalgia overcome me though and instead listened to Mircea.
"We have one week before the battle commences. You all know the plan as outlined by the Consul…"
"I don't." Dory interrupted.
"Stand there and fight until the bitter end." Louis-Cesare said in disgust as if it was the worst plan in the world, which it kind of was. "I told her it was bad. You would think she would listen to me at least."
"Louis-Cesare." Mircea said stopping his tirade. "We need now to protect against half of our allies as well. Rasputin your family are arriving in the next few days?"
"Yes," He said. "I sent word to them when Jonas was here."
"And he's going to see how many people he can gather." Radu added. "He does not know how many he can round up but –"
"Let me go." I said surprising myself. Everyone looked down the table at me, Pritkin especially disapproving.
"They tried to kill you!" he said incredulously.
"Exactly. Jonas said that he'd been told I was dead. They would have said the same at school. Me turning up, obviously not dead, would show corruption. I know a few people who definitely would join us – my class are about to graduate and I have some loyal friends. A few teachers would probably side with us. I'll tell them what's going on and give them the rough plan but tell them to openly shun me so no one would know any different. The more the merrier."
No one said anything for a long moment and I was afraid that they'd all say no until Dory said something.
"That's actually brilliant. Bet you never thought of exploiting her contacts."
"Because she doesn't have any!" Pritkin said banging his fist on the table. "She's not going out there."
"Oh shut up Pritkin of course I am. Mircea's already decided." I looked at the vampyre pointedly.
He paused for effect, pretended to think even though we all knew he'd done all the thinking he needed to. "She's going. Alone."
Pritkin would have argued if not for the glare Louis-Cesare fixed him with. After that it was just telling all of us where we would position our allies and who would take lead from whom.
"And I will kill her." Rasputin said crossing his arms over his chest. "Then I will take my rightful place as Consul." There was determination in his voice I hadn't heard before and was kind of relieved actually. So far since he'd been here he'd done nothing but accept what was happening to him and protect me selflessly. It was good to see a normal vampyre reaction for once – greed and jealousy, a desire to fight. Now he was being a proper vampyre.
His power radiated through the room making even Mircea pause for a moment and re-evaluate his opinion of him. For the first time we were seeing a leader of vampyres and the most powerful vampyre in existence. I knew what the other vamps were thinking – with Rasputin on the throne the American senate would once again be the strongest and the others would fear and respect them more than they had in a long time. They would be the ones everyone looked up to and vied to know. Yes Rasputin as head of the Senate could only be a good thing.
Mircea quickly moved back into action adjusting the plan slightly so that Rasputin was free to do what he willed.
"Ava, Pritkin, you will follow him keeping mages and other vampyres from hurting him. Rasputin some of your family will go with you. Ava, is there anyone at your school who would be willing to help?"
Anyone at my school want recognition for being the person who stopped a vampyre killing the guy who killed the traitor Consul? "Oh yeah. No shortage."
"Pick three. The best you have."
"Oh damn that means I've got to work with – Jesus fucking Christ man!" I cried, well almost screeched, and glared at Jack who had just kicked me under the table hard enough break my shin. I began fixing it and looked back at Mircea, "Sure, whatever." I said and then glared some more at Jack who was grinning wildly showing stupidly white teeth.
"It'll be your fingers next. One by one." He grinned some more.
I heard Pritkin trying not to laugh. So much for protection from the boyfriend. Alright I could fix it in a heart beat but still.
After that the rest of the plan was outlined and questions answered. Then I was sent off to get ready to go back to school. I'd be leaving first thing in the morning. I had the rest of the day to prepare but the sooner I was ready the sooner I could relax.
I wanted it to look like I'd been travelling for a while or something so I walked into Pritkin's room and found a tattered looking ruck-sack. It was a plain brownish one that may once have been almost black and had frayed bits and a couple of torn outer pockets. I'd make a story about stealing it from a Black Mage or something.
Back in my room I threw some clothes into a bag not really fussed what they were and declared myself fit to leave. I was obviously taking the jumper Pritkin still hadn't claimed back from the first time the Consul had tried to kill me because it was about the warmest jumper on the planet. Maybe that's why he'd brought it and it had saved his life a few times but I guessed I could take some liberties having kissed him and all.
"You may want to change the boots." Pritkin said having just opened the door.
"No the boots are awesome. Besides I can still fight in them if I have to."
He did have a point though I quickly realised when he pulled my kickass boots out from under my bed. I hadn't worn them in a while and was kind of surprised at how much I missed them. Last time I wore them they were just at the stage when they're the comfiest things in the world and would stay like that for what seemed like forever.
"Those boots, however, are even more awesome."
"Cassie had these." He passed me a thick pair of socks. My socks. I wondered where they had got to. "She found them in her gym bag the other day but she's washed them."
I put them inside the boots and sat on my bed.
"Do you know which ley lines to take?" he asked suddenly business like.
"I didn't get punished for two months for ley line racing for nothing. I managed to land at Dante's once actually. Interesting place." I pushed some more clothes into the bag and then picked up some potions I'd stashed away in a bedside cabinet.
"I wondered where those went." Pritkin arched an eye brow and took the vial out of my hand. "A nul net? Where did you get that?"
"From those mages who came here with my dearest father." I said the last two words with scorn and sarcasm dripping off them. "I think I have a blu-gaffer as well." I held up another potion.
Pritkin unstoppered it and sniffed it. "No that just makes people laugh until they cry with it. You put it in their drinks."
"A socialite invented that obviously." I said dryly disappointed it wasn't the stuff that made people hold their breath until they died by seeming to gaffer tape your mouth and nostrils shut.
"No. I did." He blushed. "It was an accident!" he assured me when I gave him a funny look. "I was trying to make something else and it turned out to be that. I think I only made about four vials of the stuff." He put it in his pocket and tapped it once it was in there as if it was in the safest place in the world. Considering whose trouser pocket it was in I guess it kind of was.
"So the legendary Merlyn did make a mistake!"
"I did not! I merely made something I didn't expect to."
"That's like the man's explanation of not being lost: I'm not lost I just don't know where I am. Face it you made a mistake."
"I only put too much nettle juice – " he stopped himself realising he'd basically admitted it.
"You did make a mistake!" I grinned. "I guess the universe went out of balance that day. Was there, like, a tsunami that day or something?"
"Alright, so I made a mistake, doesn't everyone?" he asked defensively and slightly louder than he meant to. "I need coffee." He left the room leaving the door open behind him.
I grinned glad to finally have my Pritkin back. I looked round and packed a few hair ties and then followed my man into the kitchen.
I was just getting ready for bed when Pritkin knocked on my door. As I was going to dive head first into the hornets nest tomorrow I had decided on my favourite flannel pj's to wear – red ones with black flowers. I was about to change out of them when he opened the door a little and poked his head round.
"Hi, Pritkin." I said nonchalantly. I sat on the bed and wondered what he was doing here. "Um, come in."
The door closed leaving us in darkness except the little light that was coming through the window. I was for once back on a day light schedule and loving the fact I was going to sleep in the dark without the need for black out blinds.
"You should also take this." He said holding a dagger out to me.
"Are you working on irony now?" I asked with a raised eyebrow looking at the blade he was holding. The one he had almost killed me with.
"I'm giving this to you so that it my repay my debt and protect you forever more and be not a reminder of shame but a promise of hope." He said with a far way look.
"Al-righty then." I said taking the weapon. "Are you feeling alright Merlyn?"
My use of his true name snapped him out of it and he flashed me a glare that had me shaking in my boots. I gulped and looked at the floor a blush flushing my face.
"I – I'm sorry." I stammered chancing a small look up at him and quickly looked back down.
"No." he said. "No." he then took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Soft footfalls sounded on the carpet. I smiled realising this was how he walked when he was in a fight trying to sneak up on someone. For half a moment I entertained the notion of jumping up and making a funny face to diffuse the tension but thought better of it. Even with me he's never opened up that much and I knew he was about to and didn't want to waste that chance to be trusted with another piece to intricate puzzle that was John Pritkin.
Kneeling down his shadow passed over me. The touch of his hands on my chin was a surprise but then this man was full of mysteries and I never really knew what he was going to do. I comforted myself with idea that I'd figure him out eventually.
"Look at me, Ava." He whispered.
Tentatively I looked up and my eyes met with his. A gentle something passed between us.
"I am the one who should apologise. Not you."
"I won't call you that again." I said.
"Thank you. And I'm sorry." He pulled me into his arms for a moment and then pulled away. "Do you want to go over tomorrow – "
"No." I laughed. "Every time you ask it will be the same answer as it has been all day. I'm not caving that easy. Besides I kind of want to go to bed."
"Alright I'll leave you then." He got up and began walking away.
"Um…" I began and looked at the floor. What was wrong with me tonight? I was never this… bashful. I looked up and Pritkin was standing there looking at me. Again I wondered what he saw, a kid needing protection or a woman doing her best to get by when one of the most powerful vampires was out to kill her.
"Well…?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I knew that he knew what I was asking and my reasons behind it but there he was trying to make me say it out loud.
"You are a sick, sick man, John." I smiled. "Stay with me?"
"Alright." He smiled and came back towards me. I got under the covers and then looked back a Pritkin.
He was already shirtless and what a sight it was. I hadn't seen him without a shirt yet, alright his rain soaked one earlier went completely see-through but it wasn't the same. This time I knew I'd be touching those muscles and his bare skin would be right under my hand and I could rest my head against it. He was truly perfect. Blonde hair dusted his chest and although we'd joked that it was a turn off at school it looked more than gorgeous on him and I couldn't wait to touch him.
His skin was lightly tanned and every muscle toned to perfection. Even though he was just stood there waiting for me to finish my appraisal I felt like I was being teased.
"Well?" he asked.
"Yeah alright I suppose." I shrugged. "You sleep in your trousers?" I then remembered why. He hadn't discovered boxers yet. "Uh… you can go and get something comfier if you want."
He muttered something under his breath and then climbed into bed without preamble. I gaped at him for half a moment and wondered if he was feeling alright. Seriously was this the same man I had come to know? Was he the same incredibly private John Pritkin who had come to rescue me like the damsel in distress I had been back in England?
I chuckled at that thought. Damsel in distress. And here I was in a bed with a man out of those same legends. I really was living a dream. I was lying in the arms of a guy older than time and I was the one who was allowed to love him. It really didn't get much better than this.
Then I realised I still hadn't moved. Nor had my completely shocked expression at his casual movements.
"I'm fine." I said earning a weird look from Pritkin. Huh, so he hadn't asked if I was alright out loud. "Nothing." I muttered and lay down on the bed only I had my back to him as I liked to sleep on my side. I went to turn over but he gently told me not to.
We just lay there in silence for a few moments, not awkwardly exactly but not exactly comfortable either. Well I wasn't.
Pritkin had noticed her look of surprise when he climbed into her bed so he didn't curl up next to her right away even he was tempted to. The last time he'd shared a bed with a woman…the last time it had all ended in disaster. Last time he'd killed her. This time… well this time they'd both be alright. They both survive the night unless she had a nasty habit of kicking in her sleep. That he'd probably throw her out of bed for. If there was one thing he didn't like it was people disturbing his sleep.
He simply watched her for a while as she gently breathed. Some of her hair had come lose of the pony tail she'd put it in and lay out across the bed just urging him to touch it. He did in time. It was as soft as he remembered from all those times when it had brushed against his arm in practice.
Contentness filled him for the first time in years and he knew that it was because of Ava. When she was around everything around him seemed to slow and become more light and beautiful. For along time he hadn't taken any pleasure in the world, but now that Ava had come into his life slowly the world's beauty had seeped back to him and he was able to wonder at everything anew. The grass seemed greener and the air sweeter. He began to long for England once more. He longed for the moorlands and the bluebells of the forests and the chirping of sparrows.
Already asleep Ava rolled over her. Her hand landed on his chest and she sighed in her sleep. Pritkin pulled her closer and remembered how in training he used to hold her against him in a choke hold. Her warmth and spread through him just the same then as it was doing now, intoxicating and brilliant.
"Oh my God I fell asleep." I sat up my hand landing on something squishy and warm. I looked round and saw Pritkin looking up at me with slight amusement in his eyes.
He was a sight to behold in the morning. His hair wasn't quite doing as it was told and something almost gentle crossed his features. I smiled a little.
"I didn't mean to fall asleep."
"You needed it." he said brusquely.
I knew what he was doing. He was preparing himself for what was to come today. For what I was to encounter today. He got out of bed and pulled his t-shirt on and then his coat over that.
I grabbed the clothes I was wearing yesterday and ducked into my bathroom to change. When I got back into the room Pritkin was sat on the edge of the bed looking intently at the floor.
"You'll be alright?" he asked.
"Half left." I joked. He smiled.
Stinky bounded into the room meaning Dory was close by. I turned to see her standing closer than I thought she was.
"Take this." She said passing me a small sphere. "It's a dislocator and this is something a mage I met gave me." she passed me a cube of back rock. "It'll um… well I'm not sure what it'll do but he was a hard core mage. Emphasis on the was."
"Uh, thanks." I said, uncertainly stuffing the cube into a pocket. As a rule I preferred only using weapons when I knew what they were but from the sound of it the guy who had given it to Dory had known his stuff and going into the devils lair required fire power to keep you company. Besides I could feel the destructive power emanating from it. Even though I didn't know what it was I felt a bit safer having it with me.
"Don't be scared."
"I won't. I'm only going back to the place where I twice saw my mother die and where they tried to kill me and where I probably killed a good friend. Only happy memories at that place."
"Wait. Saw your mother die twice?"
"Yeah time travel. Messes with your head. Seriously. If Cassie asks you if you want to go say no."
"Yeah. Well you've got to go. That's why I came."
The ley line I was going to take ran right over Mircea's gardens. On the way over there people joined us. Mircea, Rafe, Rasputin, Louis-Cesare, Cassie, Pritkin. As each person joined us I felt my apprehension growing. What I had on my side was that people there knew me and I knew the surrounding area like the back of my hand. I was well aware that my plan could easily backfire and I was dreading that happening. What if the officials had already spread rumours about me in case I ever did come back meaning I was no longer trusted? What if I had a 'kill on sight' sign above my head?
Scratch that what would people do for the bounty that was above my head like a proverbial grave?
I pushed those thoughts aside and took a deep breath. I had hoped I could just come out here alone, jump in the ley line and have done with it. Now I had all those people watching me, stood there hoping I was going to help save them. I opened the line and was about to step in when Mircea wished me luck. Now I would have to turn round and face them all. Damn.
"I'll be fine." I shrugged. I looked from face to face and got smiles from Rafe and Louis-Cesare. Cassie gave me a brief hug.
"This will help you." Rasputin said. "Seeing us will give you more strength. If we didn't think it would help we wouldn't have come." He didn't hug me or put a hand on my shoulder, just the look in his eyes was enough to give me strength. Then I turned to Pritkin.
The last time I had seen him was this morning. I'd been curled up in his arms and had sleep in my eyes from the perhaps overly fitful sleep I'd had. For a moment after waking neither of us moved except for the tightening of his arms around me. I'd felt safer than I ever had and never wanted it to end. We'd memorised everything about each other in those couple of stolen moments. I remembered his smell and the soft hair of his chest, the way his chest rose and fell as he breathed, the warmth of his hands on my waist and the fire where his skin touched mine. He was full of hard packed muscle that was more than good to look at and drove me insane when I saw him using it.
Now as I looked at him I felt more sorrow than I ever had before and I could tell he was feeling it too. We'd only just got passed our petty argument and now, because of me and my big mouth and stubborn head, I was walking into one of the most dangerous places I could. For all we knew we'd never see each other again. I didn't know what to say so I just kept looking at him.
He looked torn up, wanting to say something but unable to with all the people around. Then he put a hand on my cheek and I moved into it loving the way the rough patches on his skin soothed my own and the look in his green, green eyes was more than enough to make me believe in myself.
"How are you getting there?" he asked his voice rough with emotion. It was like a balm to my skin but broke my heart the rest of the way at the same time. John Pritkin was strong and nothing could hurt him. Except me. Or me dying. If this is what love did to you was love really worth it?
Of course it was worth it. Worth it a thousand times over.
"I figured I'd just strengthen my shields or something." I shrugged and looked at my boots. Someone had scuffed them up for me so they looked travel worn but it was all cosmetic. They were still as strong and comfortable as when I last wore them. I had a feeling I'd owe these boots my toes lives before the end.
"No. Take this." He pulled a softly glowing sphere from his coat and put it in my hands.
I'd seen this device just once before when I asked him about how MAGIC was destroyed. It was only just big enough to need two hands to hold it and the magic inside it was a swirl of orange and gold. Pritkin's treasured prize.
"Pritkin I can't…" I lamely began.
"Take it." he said his voice unusually soft. "It'll protect you. Remember take the second left of the green one, not the first left of the purple one."
"Yeah. Elementary mistake that was." I said with a small laugh. I looked up into his eyes for a moment and then reached up and kissed him briefly on the lips. He kissed me back and then whispered in my ear.
"Stay safe, play hard."
I stepped away from him and then turned back to the ley line.
"Wait!" Pritkin blurted.
I turned back to him reluctantly. I'd been ready to go and everything.
"Take this." He passed me a vial.
"You're giving me the mistake potion? I bet laughing is going to be a major distraction for fully trained mages." I smiled a little. "Thank you." I kissed him on the cheek and turned back to the ley line.
I paused before I opened it and then I was zooming away through the sky inside a tiny bubble of safety. I quickly figured out how to stay in the middle of the road, in the smoother stream. The hardest thing was keeping concentration and not looking too much at the landscape smudging passed. A couple of times I almost lost it to go falling to my death. After the yellow one I was on I had to take the blue one that took me over MAGIC and then a purple one, remembering not to take the first left, which then bled into the green one where I took the second left. Before I knew it England was below me.
The line I was in swept way over the lines that serviced England and the Channel Islands. Below was not only England but the lines that dipped into the streets and soared with mountains and ran alongside rivers in varying hues of red, purple, fuchsia, blue and pale green. A small red one opened out in Stratford-upon-Avon, almost directly over the river. I navigated my way towards it and entered with ease. Five seconds later I was at my stop.
Getting out was always harder than getting in. It required more concentration and skill. And I managed to stuff it up getting caught in the current as I was getting out meaning I was flung over the river as I exited. Fortunately a canal boat was passing under as I fell. I landed on the roof which appeared to be weakened with age. I fell through landing in the kitchen, half on the counter half off.
Abruptly standing up as per my training was perhaps the worst thing in the world to have done at that particular moment and I was faced with something no person ever wanted to see – to people in the middle of a very good time – and they tumbled on the floor landing at my feet. Okay so maybe getting up was a good thing otherwise they would have landed on me, but having working eyes wasn't.
The man yelped and the woman reached round for a sheet.
"You do know you're moving don't you?" I asked with an arched eyebrow.
They both cursed and grabbed the first clothes that came to hand and rushed out side. Half laughing I walked out behind them and grabbed hold of the branch that was passing over head. I didn't want to be around when they realised there was a whopping great big hole in their boat. From my vantage point I quickly got my bearings and headed to the bridge up river and crossed to the other side. From there it was a five mile walk to school. Instead of wasting time I got a taxi.

As prospects of military action against Iran loom, former Middle East correspondent and novelist James Buchan dissects events leading to the 1979 Revolution. The ubiquity of the West in Iran's tumultuous history is laid bare. Reza Pahlavi was shoehorned into the throne in 1926 by the expedient British.
Reza's rule was secular, curbing clerical privileges, taxing the public, and introducing Western dress. The British forced his abdication in 1941. His son Mohammed Reza succeeded him. Under both Pahlavis, Iranian revenue rose a thousandfold due to oil, but the "Shah" Mohammed Reza spent billions on arms from Britain and the US.
Mossadeq, the left-wing, secular, pro-democracy prime minister from 1951, was hugely popular and nationalised the oil industry. M Reza relinquished power. Britain had become accustomed to obtaining Iranian oil cheaply, complained to the UN and sent warships to the Gulf. The US and Britain feared Mossadeq's leftism, and returned M Reza via a coup.
M Reza introduced women's rights and land reforms, but the Savak secret police and his prisons killed opponents, real and imaginary. He lavished money on himself: celebration of his reign in Persepolis in 1971 cost $16.6 million. Support for the Shia clergy rose. The cleric Khomeini fomented hatred of the West, and advocated an Islamic state. He returned from exile in 1979, and M Reza defected. M Reza' s "friends" in the West deserted him. The section on the 33 years of the Islamic Republic since the revolution is chilling, stained with the blood of thousands who voiced dissent.
Buchan's prose is excellent, with the vocabulary, range and atmosphere of a literary master, the clout of the sharp historian, and the ability to leaven history with fascinating snippets of intimate information, delightful, droll, or horrifying. His research is thorough, with hundreds of sources. I have a few cavils. Chapoor Bakhtiar, the French Resistance-helping democrat whom M Reza made prime minister as a last resort, and other secular dissenters, are not allocated enough space. Nor is Mossadeq. Bewilderingly, while the failed assassination of Bakhtiar is mentioned, there is no word of his barbaric murder in 1991.
Buchan toes the respectful liberal line towards Islam, labelling as "obnoxious" Reza's orders for veils to be removed from women, his removal of clerical control of charity, and his decision that religious education wasn't mandatory. By contrast, Buchan passes no judgement on the obligatory veiling introduced post-revolution, nor on Khomeini's fatwa on Salman Rushdie. He neglects to mention Khomeini's lowering of the age at which girls could legally be "married" to nine. The grotesque rape of females awaiting execution is mentioned, but rape has been widespread against the Greens, the largely middle-class protestors.
The fate of homosexuals in the regime is not touched on, and anti-Semitism is limited to a single paragraph in the epilogue. Barbaric punishments such as stoning for adultery are unexplored.
Buchan wrings out compliments for the religious fundamentalists: Fazlollah Nuri, who ranted against the West and brought in a ruling in 1907 that no law could contradict Islam, is praised as "courageous" and "learned". Such plaudits are not shown to Mossadeq or Bakhtiar. The anti-West, fervently Islamic goals of the assassin Navvab Safavi are described as "an old fashioned vision... [which] for some Iranians still has its charms". It is as if this brilliant, accomplished author is afraid of offending Islam. He also fails to clarify that some of the exultation greeting Khomeini was joy at the fall of autocracy rather than support for clerical leadership.
Still, this is a compelling, beautifully written history of a country which has produced great literature, art, and a warm people whose lives have been manipulated by other countries with ulterior motives and by their own autocratic and theocratic dictators.Reuse content

Flying the flag for patriotism
*Andrew Rosindell the Conservative MP for Romford, is known as the candidate who first won his seat campaigning with a bulldog dressed in a Union flag.
He believes in hanging, in legalising guns, and the gamut of right-wing obsessions, but he should be saluted for his latest act of bulldog patriotism. He has persuaded the Commons authorities to fly the Union flag on all three flagpoles above the Houses of Parliament all year round, and not just on the day of the Queen's Speech. And why not?
Where were you, Gordon?
*Is Gordon Brown turning publicity-shy late in life? Since the summer break, the Prime Minister's "monthly" press conferences have been held on 4 September, 12 November and, er, that's it for 2009.

MEAL IN A MUG - Porcini, Truffle and Parmesan Polenta
14 June 2013 , 4:46 PM by Annie Reuss
Professional eater. Wine lover. Editor of the Queensland Good Food Guide. Greedyguts. Prolific tweeter - this is how Natascha Mirosch, local foodie, describes herself in her Twitter profile.
Natascha popped into the studio today to cook up the fanciest "Meal in a Mug" creation to date.
Porcini, Truffle and Parmesan Polenta
¾ cup stock
Porcini Mushrooms Dried small handful
2/3 cup Polenta Portabello Mushrooms – diced – as much as you like
1 large teaspoon of Butter
½ teaspoon Truffle Cream (optional)
Italian Aged Parmesan Cheese grated
Microwave stock and dried porcini mushrooms for 30 seconds.
Add Polenta and portabello mushrooms and butter. Microwave for 1 minute 30 (1100 Watts).
It should be about the consistency of porridge at this stage. Stir mixture so the mushrooms are mixed through. Add truffle cream, salt if required, and cover the top with grated parmesan ... you can put back in to melt cheese or eat as is.
Variations –
• Let set, tip out and sprinkle cheese on top and grill.
• Add pancetta or bacon
• Add some bbq chicken
• Saute leeks in butter
• Crispy Proscuitto on top

Oracle doesn't seem to have any strategic interest in creating their own mobile platform. Instead, the move would most likely be used to provide Oracle with more leverage in its ongoing legal battles with Google over Android.
The sources said HP expected to sell off the division for much less than the $1.2 billion they paid for it in 2010. Given the exorbitant prices that patents have been fetching of late, it would seem that a bidding war could not be ruled out.
HP acquired several important smartphone patents when it purchased Palm, and it's likely that the IP could use asserted against a broad range of mobile devices. It's hard to say how many additional targets Oracle might have in mind, or even if they will ultimately end up purchasing webOS, but one thing seems clear: we will be seeing more lawsuits in the mobile ecosystem in the future.

Log 01
A bright day it was. The month of August the humans would say. It was also the first day of school for the younglings of the six species. Around the age of thirteen, they start going to and living in a school that is ethnically mixed. Before, they are taught by their parents the basics.
Oradema Academy is the name of the school, named after the world Aurion made. It's the only school in Oradema and it was built by Aurion right in the middle of Oradema. The small island Oradema Academy was built on is all school ground. In the middle of the island is the large school campus, where all the classes take place. Surrounding it are the dorms the students stay in when they are away from home. The dorms are ethnically places, not to be racist, but to not let any sudden fights to happen. There are forty-two dormitory buildings. Seven years for the six species. As for the classes, they are mixed. Whether the students, the parents, anyone, like it or not.
Before that though, the story starts off in the large country of Zatania. A dark place many would say, but that's only from what they think. Zatania is a beautiful place for people who has lived there and been there. Though the scenery seems sinister with spewing lava, fire popping on the sides of the road, with heavy black soil exploding with dark-themed flower gardens, one couldn't change it because they wanted to. Zatania's land and climate made Zatania the way it looked. Only a few would be disgusted to see terrain like how Zatania is. To the people who lived in Zatania, this was how it flourished.
Now in the large country of Zatania, around the mid-upper east, past jagged mountains that seemed to be large glimmering claws of a dragon, there is the kingdom where King Pazki and his family and servants stay. Just like the title says, King Pazki is the king of Zatania. Many would expect him to be a tyrant for the reason that Zatania is mostly of demons. But no, Pazki is a nice man. Has a lovely boy and girl, and servants who love to work under him, paid or unpaid. Pazki was that type of man, or demon if you would say. All the races, and even his kind, find it suspicious. How un-demon-like they would whisper to each other. But he started the drastic event.
Rika Killsworth was the daughter of King Pazki. Very un-princess-like. A tomboy. She most likely has gotten this trait since her mother died when she given birth to Rika. And always sticking close to her father and brother. Rika Killsworth, in a sense, was like a young boy. Loud, a bit obnoxious, and disliked anything that had to do with girls. She wouldn't call herself a princess, but one who was in the highest royal family of Zatania. She didn't flood herself with pretty dresses and jewelry. She kept herself simple, knowing that, deep inside, she is just a simple demon in the end. Her short Prussian-blue hair was short, a bit untidy, and fanned out on the back kind of like a lampshade. Rika never tried to grow it out long because she would say, in her own words, "it would just too much trouble."
This year would be Rika Killsworth start in Oradema Academy. A letter was given to her father about the importance of entering Oradema Academy. King Pazki had no objections towards it, nor did Rika. She knew she would be fine going to Oradema Academy, only because she knew she wouldn't be there alone. There were two people close to her that she knew would be there: Ruka Killsworth and Ennax Orsone.
Ruki Killsworth was Rika's older brother by at least eight years. He was a teacher at the age of twenty in Oradema Academy. A fine man and, unlike Rika, was a gentleman. His hair, closely resembling Rika's style, was much shorter and neater. Though he also didn't garb himself in royal clothes, he was a quiet man who didn't say much and disliked getting into arguments. Un-demon-like like his father, people gossiped. But a kind and fine man, like his father, people complimented.
Ennax Orsone is from the highest-ranking royal demon family of knights. He would have been Ruki's knight if he wasn't six years younger than him. He, instead, is Rika's knight. One would think the one he would look up to would be his father, Xander Orsone, but Ennax never remembered his father or mother's face. Ennax was a mysterious knight, said to be the only surviving Orsone left. Like Ruki, he doesn't say a lot. If he does speak though, it would mainly be towards Rika. Ennax is very defensive of Rika and has stated he "will give up his life to protect the royal line." His faint navy blue hair was silky and spiked downward, around the same length as Rika's if not a bit shorter. Ennax would have been in Oradema Academy two years ago, but he promised to go when Rika started school.

EURGBP - Weekly technical outlook
EUR/GBP pulled back after edging higher to 0.9153 initially last week and the correction is possibly still in progress. Nevertheless, rise from 0.8833 is still expected to continue as long as 0.8977 support holds. Above 0.9115 minor resistance will flip intraday bias back to the upside and break of 0.9153 will target 61.8% retracement of 0.9410 to 0.8833 at 0.9109 first and then 0.9410 high next. However, note that decisive break of 0.8977 support will argue that rebound from 0.8833 has completed. Also, this will open up the case that correction from 0.9410 is still in progress for another low below 0.8833 before completion.
In the bigger picture, medium term correction from 0.9799 has completed with three waves down to 0.8399 already and rise from there is tentatively treated as resumption of long term up trend. Such rise should target a test on 0.9799 first after completing the correction from 0.9410 and break of 9799 will bring rally to next medium term target at 61.8% projection of 0.6535 to 0.9799 from 0.8399 at 1.0416. We'll hold on to this bullish view as long as 0.8704 support holds.
In the long term picture, long term up trend in EUR/GBP might be resuming as correction from 0.9799 has completed at 0.8399. Decisive break of 0.9799 high will confirm this bullish view and target 261.8% projection of 0.5680 to 0.7258 from 0.6535 at 1.0666.

Puri, Nov 13 (UNI) An Australian volunteer was arrested and sent to jail for alleged sexual abuse of the inmates of an orphanage here keeping them under fear of expulsion.
Sadar police said Paul Allen(45) was arrested on the basis of a complaint lodged by Mary Ellen,founder of Mary Ellen Berger (MEG) foundation, USA, which has been running an orphanage in the outskirts of this holy city.
According to Mary Ellen when she returned to Puri in October last she was stunned to learn the sexual escapades of Mr Paul who was known as a professor to the inmates of the orphanage.
Mr Paul was working in the orphanage since its inception in 2002 after the 1999 super cyclone and was living in the guest house of the orphanage campus.
Mary took the eight victim children into confidence and the story of Paul having sexual escapades with them unfolded. There were nearly eightyfive children, including 45 girls, housed in separate buildings in the Orphanage campus.
By the time the complaint was lodged, Mr Paul had left for Vishakhapatanam orphanage but Puri Superintendent of police Asit Kumar Panigrahi sent a police team to nab the culprit.
The Puri police with the help of their Andhra Pradesh counterpart arrested Paul and brought him back. During interrogation Paul revealed that in 2001 he was arrested in a similar case in Andhra Pradesh and was in jail for one month.
He escaped as none of the victims testified against him in the court and pleaded innocence. The investigating officer recorded the statements of the victim children in the orphanage and decided to send them for medical examination.
A case under sections 377 and 323 of IPC has been registered against Mr Paul and he was forwarded to the court of sub divisional judicial magistrate (SDJM) here today after medical examination.
The SDJM after refusing his bail plea sent him to the jail custody.
Mary Ellen, a septuagenarian lady and president of the foundation, told newspersons that she had to sold out all her property in the US to serve the cause of orphan children in the world.
She rushed to Puri after the district was ravaged by the super cyclone in 1999 and a large number of children became orphan after their near and dear ones and parents were washed away.
The lady adopted them in her orphanage and was running a free kitchen and school for them. Paul was referred to her by an Indian pasture in the USA and since then he was working in the orphanage.

PMS Windows Portable App?
Does anyone know if there is a Portable app version of PMS for windows? (ie. firefox portable) I would like to run it from a USB drive so it would need to not access the registry of the current machine, and be installable on just a usb flash drive. Portableapps.com has tools to create such a thing, however I don't have the know how to make it happen. Anyone?
mfeingol Members, Plex Employee, Plex Pass, Plex Ninja Posts: 5,091 Plex EmployeePMS does a few things that would preclude this at the moment. E.g.:
1) Install Bonjour during setup.
2) Use the registry as a configuration store.
3) Use the local user's appdata directory to store plugins and such.
I will admit that the idea of a portable media server hadn't occurred to me. What's the scenario?0

We have a HP P2015 Laser Jet that isn't showing up in the Spiceworks inventory. It has a DCHP address and when I run a scan, Spiceworks sees the device:
12:38:47 filling in device details for npi0dee33 (90%)
When I search for the device it doesn't show up. (Tried IP MAC and Host name searches.
I checked the SNMP option on the printer's webconfig page:
"Enable SNMP v1 read-only access (uses 'public' for the Get Community Name)"
Anything I'm missing here? Why won't Spiceworks add it?

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I think that you need to send in your logs to the SpiceWorks folks for this one.
Nov 7, 2009 at 10:42 UTC
Do you have SW scanning set to use SNMP=public? I have several of these printers, and they tend to report the manufacturer's name or a serial number instead of a specified samba name. Make sure the printer has the proper DNS and gateway settings as these will help communications.
Nov 9, 2009 at 7:48 UTC
How do I go about sending in my logs? Which logs will they need?
Thanks for the advice... all good ideas. But I've already checked those.
Again, thank you both for taking the time to respond!
Nov 9, 2009 at 4:52 UTC
You can find the instructions for sending in your logs here.
Nov 12, 2009 at 8:35 UTC
The problem has corrected itself though. No clue as to why.

WASHINGTON, Feb 01, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
A class action lawsuit filed today would require Fifth Third Bank to
refund hundreds of millions of dollars in unlawful overdraft charges --
which were often charged even when the customers had enough funds in
their accounts to pay for purchases.
"It is one thing to charge an overdraft fee when someone has actually
overdrawn their account. It is entirely another to charge an overdraft
fee when the customer's account has sufficient funds. Even worse, in
some cases Fifth Third charges overdraft fees and additional fees for
every day an account is overdrawn -- even when an account is overdrawn
solely because of bank fees charged by Fifth Third. The bank is
essentially charging overdraft fees on overdraft fees," said Hassan
Zavareei, a partner at the Washington, D.C.-based law firm Tycko &
Zavareei LLP, which represents the plaintiff.
"This is outrageous bank conduct, made worse by the fact that most of
the bank's victims are struggling to make ends meet," said Zavareei.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court on behalf of Marlene Willard, of
Hephzibah, Georgia, and other bank customers who were unfairly and
illegally charged overdraft fees by Fifth Third Bancorp for charges they
made on their ATM/debit cards.
The class action lawsuit alleges that these fees violate federal and
state law, as well as the contractual relationship the bank has with its
customers. The lawsuit seeks certification of a class action on behalf
of Fifth Third Bank customers who were improperly charged overdraft
fees or who received insufficient disclosures about such overdraft fees.
The complaint alleges that Fifth Third Bank manipulates debit
transaction posting to cause overdraft fees even when there are
sufficient funds to pay for a certain purchase. Further, Fifth Third
Bank fails to properly disclose fees that will be charged at the point
of sale, and uses deceptive disclosures in its contract with customers
to hide its true overdraft policies.
"We are continuing to investigate Fifth Third and other banks around the
country. Customers must be compensated for bank practices that caused
hundreds of millions of dollars in improperly charged fees," Zavareei
The complaint also alleges that Fifth Third Bank has not allowed its
customers to opt out of "overdraft protection," as recommended by
Federal regulators.
Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company
headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Company has over $100 billion in
assets and operates 16 affiliates with 1,306 full-service Banking
Centers in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Georgia and North
The lawsuit is captioned Willard v. Fifth Third Financial Group, Inc.
and has been filed in the Northern District of Georgia.
Copies of the complaint may be obtained from Hassan Zavareei at Tycko
& Zavareei LLP.
