Kenya has responded to the expected ICC prosecution of two of its cabinet ministers and a government mandarin at The Hague by trebling its embassy budget for cocktails and canapés.
The suspects, known in Kenya as the "Ocampo Six", are under investigation for crimes against humanity for their alleged role in post-election violence that left 1,500 people dead and hundreds of thousands homeless in late 2007 and early 2008. The hike in the entertainment budget for The Hague mission, which came at the expense of money set aside for scholarships, was overseen by Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta – one of the ICC suspects.
There is already widespread anger in Kenya at government attempts to get parliament to pay the suspects' legal costs. Three years on from the blood-letting that followed a disputed election result, at least 7,000 Kenyans still live in appalling conditions in internal refugee camps. The ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo's decision in December last year to name a half dozen figures from Kenya's political elite as ringleaders in the post-election mayhem has sparked frantic efforts in Nairobi to get the prosecutions derailed.
Kenya's president Mwai Kibaki and prime minister Raila Odinga cooperated with the ICC investigation – which their names were kept out of – until it touched too close to some of their political allies. The decision to name government ministers had been expected, but the summons for Francis Muthaura, the political right hand man of the president, saw the government change tack.
Last month Nairobi failed to convince ICC judges that its efforts to investigate the post-election violence were serious, effectively confirming that The Hague hearings will go ahead. In March it also failed in backroom efforts in New York to get the UN Security Council to suspend possible prosecutions. The vice president, Kalonzo Musyoka, has been touring Africa to drum up opposition to The Hague court and Kenya invited Sudan's ICC-indicted president Omar al-Bashir to Nairobi for the promulgation of the new constitution.
Despite high-level political efforts to discredit the investigation, the ICC enjoys overwhelming public support for its effort to break the culture of impunity in Kenyan politics.
Supposedly a beacon of stability in East Africa, Kenya witnessed 30 days of horrifying violence when clashes broke out between supporters of rival political parties. The fighting left 3,500 people injured and 650,000 forcibly displaced, in addition to the dead. Initially presented as a spontaneous eruption of tribal clashes, it later emerged that high-level figures on both sides had orchestrated much of the violence.
Kenya's judicial system is widely acknowledged to be corrupt.Reuse content

Series: Frontiers in Molecular Biology Volume: 7
216 pages, 7 b/w photos, 50 illus
Many processes in the genetic life of the cell require a specific interaction between proteins and DNA. While DNA is normally thought of as a straight double helix, it can be distorted by bending and twisting, and these alterations are critical to a number of cellular processes. These include transcription (by which the genetic message is read), recombination (rearrangements by which new combinations of genes come about), and the repair of DNA damage. An interesting group of proteins have the important role of recognizing and manipulating DNA structure. This text explores the importance of DNA structure in the interactions between proteins and DNA in order to generate a new perspective on DNA-protein.
[T]he reader is left with a deep appreciation for the structural and mechanistic possibilities that have emerged from the long co-evolution of DNA and DNA-binding proteins.--Quarterly Review of Biology

SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 16, 2010POSTED: Sunday, May 16, 2010
You have to realized that when a customer that complains about high pressure sales people...they could have just say NO. in this case they chose to reserve the lot.
it's not fair to other who are serious about building a home to have sites tied up by someone that is not ready to commit on buying a home.
A bunch of his point of views on bad ethics...but he went along with the process...what does that tell you?
When you sign a legal document to buy a house, you are entering an agreement. If you weren't sure about the house or the builder, then you - the buyer is responsible for your actions if you choose to sign and move forward.
Playing the sympathy card in this report is just manipulative! you are not telling us the entire truth.
Ryland mortgage is a loan originator, they have Countrywide to carry the loan. this is a correct process. Don't make it sound like they're being dishonest and pulled a fast one on you.
Your advise is your opinion...However, to make this into a big ripoff because you decided that you didn't want the home is wrong.
Homebuyers please take note...if you're not sure if you're ready to buy...then don't sign a contract. Sales Counselors works hard for you and they are there to make a living. not to rip you off. If you are in the frame of mind that sales people are slimeballs and criminals, then do your purchases via 3rd party. maybe get counseling on trust issues.

You are not alone, you next to check out the class action lawsuit naming Ryland Homes as one of many builders who controlled the market with the same reasons you stated .Please search for that lawsuit by google Ryland Homes Lawsuits.
It could be to your best advantage in seeking justice against these fraudsters.
Good Luck,

Sadistic SS doctor Josef Mengele would send body parts of death camp victims to Nazi scientists at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
The bill aims to deal with a problem Poland has faced for years: foreign media — and even Obama — referring to the Nazi camps in occupied territory as 'Polish'
Prayers and tears are desired at Auschwitz, especially when the sun shines.
'I've tried my whole life to forget about this time,' he said at trial. 'I want to say that it disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organization'
Reinhold Hanning, 94, accused of serving as an SS Unterscharfuehrer — similar to a sergeant — in Auschwitz from January 1943 to June 1944.
A rise in anti-Muslim hostility amid the refugee crisis is — irrationally — also fueling anti-Semitism as growing numbers lash out in fear at anyone they perceive as different
Hubert Zafke is accused of working as a medic in Auschwitz in an SS hospital and helping the death camp function
To many, Alex Johnstone's claim that she didn't know about the infamous concentration camp was more galling than the inappropriate comments themselves
The comment was spurred by a phenomenon of the 2015 election: Someone had just dug up an embarrassing 2008 post from Alex Johnstone's Facebook page
The said Oskar Groening was too sick to get out of bed and come to court Thursday morning, and added that there was no evidence he was faking his illness

Her Valentines' Day
She opened the door to her apartment. She saw white candles lining the whole room. On the floor were rose petals making a path to the bathroom. She put her coat and bag in the closet. She could hear the water running from the bathroom. She saw the bath had pieces of peach quarters and rose petals floating in the water. The bathroom had so many candles in it that she didn't even need to turn on the light to see. She walked over and turned off the water to the bath. She went to her room to remove her clothing to find rose petals all over her bed and a vase of origami roses and lilies sitting in the middle of her bed with a note. She walked over to the flowers and could smell them. She smiled, you though of everything. She picked up the note and began to read it,
Hey babe,
In the fridge there is some champagne for you while you're taking your bath. I just want to you have a relaxing night. Don't worry about anything tonight.
I'm sorry that I can't be with you tonight. I wish I could hold you tightly in my arms and make you feel safe. I'm sorry that it's taking me so long to find you. Don't give up on me, I know it's hard not to but I'm looking for you and I will find you. I don't know when but I will find you some day. I will always love you weather I know it or not.
Your future (kiss)
The tears began to well up in her eyes; she put on her robe and went to get the champagne and glass. She headed to the room and slid into the nice hot water and began to sip on her champagne. She closed her eyes and drifted into a dream. This was a good Valentines' Day she though.
Her first time coming home...
She walked in the door of her apartment, place her coat, and bag near the door. She walked toward the bathroom lighting the candles on her way back the hall. She lit the candles in the bathroom and began to run the bathwater. She poured in 2 capfuls of bath oils and placed in the water rose petals and pieces of peaches quarters. She grabbed the rest of the rose petals and began to scatter them on the floor leading out to the front door. She picked up her coat and bag and left her apartment and went to get her mail.

The Making of Molly March(1996)
A novel by Juliet Dymoke
One night in March 1835, a baby is born in Westbourne workhouse. The mother is obviously a lady, but before she can do more than name her daughter Marianne, she dies. Marianne being too grand a name, the child becomes known as Molly, Molly March. Life is never easy for a workhouse girl and Molly's is no exception. Yet fate has wider horizons in store for Molly and she finds herself following the drum in the Crimea, where her indomitable courage wins the reluctant admiration of Captain Matthew Hamilton. And then it appears that the answer to the mystery of Molly's birth lies in the Crimea too...

The property
Located in the historic village of Chacewater, just five miles from Truro, this old mine captain's cottage is Grade II listed and full of character, with beamed ceilings in the kitchen, dining room and utility room.
Being so central to Cornwall, this lovely old cottage is ideally situated for groups of friends or families touring the whole county.
Pass over the cobblestones outside, through the front door and from the slate hallway you can enter either the sitting room or the dining room, both of which have old stone fireplaces and log burners.
Also on the ground floor is a well-fitted kitchen with a splendid old granite lintel and Cornish slate floors, the slate for which was collected from a quarry in Tintagel by the owners themselves!
Upstairs you will find three bedrooms and a bathroom with a lovely roll-top bath and at the back of the cottage, the pretty walled garden is a real sun trap and the perfect place to relax at the end of a long busy day spent exploring.
It also provides access to the lane behind, where a private parking space is allocated.
2 The Square is very close to two village pubs and grocery shops, a bakery and a daily farmer's market in the old Square market place across the road.
The village of Chacewater lies in the centre of a great mining district and the surrounding landscape contains many reminders of the former industry brought back to life in the BBC's TV series, Poldark.
To gain a unique insight into the area's mining heritage, follow the Mineral Tramways coast-to-coast trail on the old Redruth and Chacewater railway line.
The coast to coast route also provides you with a great opportunity to ride or walk across Cornwall in a day, from one coast to another, enjoying a variety of wildlife and spectacular scenery as the trail passes through ancient woodland and heathland.
With secure bike storage at the property and bikes available to hire locally, you can cycle from the property in all directions, including both road and mountain biking.
Why not meet the Bissoe Trail within just two miles of the cottage?
Of course, there are also many fabulous beaches on both sides of the coast that are easily accessible, the nearest being the sandy beach at Porthtowan, five miles away.
The village of Porthtowan has a beach-side restaurant and bar so you can enjoy a drink and a meal as you watch the sunset.
Porthtowan is also great for surfing and has an abundance of beach and clifftop walks to explore.
The city of Truro has excellent shopping opportunities and a good selection of pubs, bistros and restaurants.
With so much to offer, this wonderful historic cottage is the perfect location for a getaway at any time of the year.

Suspicion of drunk driving?

Suspected Drunk Driver Shot In The Arm By Home Owner | KEYT.com - News, Weather, Sports for Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, Ventura, Oxnard | KEYT HeadlinesLos Osos, CA-- San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Deputies and officers with the California Highway Patrol are investigating a bizarre incident that left one homeowner cleaning up a mess and sent a 18-year-old driver to the hospital with a gunshot wound.
Sheriff Investigators are trying to figure out why Los Osos' resident Chris Saletta shot 18-year-old Nicole Galvez in the arm.
According to Saletta, Galvez plowed her PT Cruiser through Saletta's fence and into the backyard of his home on the 2000 block of Sombrero Road. Saletta says, he awoke to find Galvez driving her car wildly through his back yard and he was forced to shoot her because he thought she would crash her car into his children's bedroom.
Saletta told investigators, the female driver of of the Cruiser collided with a water well pump, ran over his kids bikes and hit the rear porch support to his home. Saletta called 911 to report the rampage then armed himself and tried to approach Galvez.
According to Saletta, Galvez refused to get out of her car and continued to drive towards Saletta's home. Saletta said, fearing for his families safety, he then fired one round from a .22 caliber rifle through the passenger side of the car. He told investigators he fired the shot because Galvez was headed straight for his children's bedroom.
The Cruiser came to an abrupt stop after Saletta fired the shot. Saletta wounded Galvez with a single shot to her upper arm.
Galvez was taken to Sierra Vista Hospital, was treated then arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
A preliminary investigation by the Sheriff's Department reveals that Saletta lawfully fired his weapon in self-defense.

"Sheriff Investigators are trying to figure out why Los Osos' resident Chris Saletta shot 18-year-old Nicole Galvez in the arm."
That comment irked me when i read it, Mr. Saletta was defending himself and his family against a person who was driving wildly in his own backyard.
"It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep."

Mr Saletta, being that he lives in Kommefornia, will probably be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a fire arm in city limits, attempted murder, disturbing the peace and God know what else. Personally, I think he did the right thing.
"Brains before Bullets"
She's lucky he only used a .22 rifle! But if that's the only weapon I had, I would have done the same thing.

We have extensive experience and success in
designing and delivering management development
programmes that last from 3 to 24 months in duration
If you are looking to develop your managers into leaders we can offer you a wide range of solutions to give them the necessary skills, behaviours and tools to lead and motivate their staff more effectively and to really make a significant difference to your company.
If you are looking for a 1-5 day in-house course please click here or read on if you are interested in a longer term development programme for your managers.
A Management Development Programme (MDP) is a series of modules and activities that are designed and delivered over a longer period of time than your normal in-house training course.
Here's a snapshot of some of the organisations from both the private and non-profit sector who have chosen MTD to design and deliver management development programmes for their managers:
The duration of an MDP can last anywhere from 3 months to over 2 years.
Each MDP is unique because they are designed to fit in with your culture, ways or working and what you would like to achieve.
Here are some examples of what we have included in MDP's for our clients:
Modular Based Learning Sessions
These are normally 1 or 2 day classroom type training courses spread throughout the duration of the programme at regular intervals. For example, if it is a 6 month programme we might run one classroom event per month on various topics such as "Leading For Success", "Change Management", "Building High Performing Teams", "Coaching & Giving Feedback" etc.
Personal 1 on 1 Business Coaching
With this, each manager receives face to face or telephone coaching sessions with a fully qualified business coach. Together they tackle some of the major issues that is holding the manager back at work and they put action plans in place to improve them.
Personality & Behavioural Profiling
Each manager can take a number of assessments and exercises and then they will receive detailed reports and profiles on their preferences and what makes them the person that they are. Understanding oneself is very important in the development process. Each manager receives their feedback from a fully qualified expert with full explanations as to the application and practical considerations of the information.
Personal 1 on 1 Life Coaching
Each manager receives face to face or telephone coaching from a fully qualified life coach. The aim of these sessions are to create balance in the managers life between work, rest and play and to act as support for any personal or confidence related issues.
Work Based Assignments & Projects
Applying learning into the workplace is a critical activity. With work based assignments, the managers have case studies to work through having to apply what they have learned on previous modules and areas of the development programme. Each assignment is based upon a "real life" scenario that the company has or could face in the future and the manager is left responsible for tackling the situation and heading up the team that ultimately has to provide solutions and a way forward for it.
Team Building Events
These can be on or offsite where the group as a whole or in smaller teams are set challenging events and activities to promote cross functional working and the elements of building high performing teams.
E-Learning Modules
Some information and learning can be conducted through computer designed training sessions. Here, the manager accesses a programme through their computer and works through the course themselves. At various points throughout the ecourse there will be mini tests and assessments to confirm their understanding of the topics covered.
With a simulation, groups of managers are "placed" into a real life scenario and it is up to them as a team to create a positive outcome. For example, "A flood has just wiped out your manufacturing capability, what are you going to do to resume business asap?" or "You are in charge of creating a new product to achieve xyz. What is your new product? What will it do? How will you market it? What considerations will you need to plan for in the workplace – training, comms etc?" ….and of course we as trainers throw obstacles in along the way to test their planning, organisation, team and self control skills!
Distance Learning
Modules and course content can be covered through self study manuals, DVD's, CD's and CD ROMs. The managers will be required to complete the modules themselves and send in their answers and coursework to their designated personal tutor who then provides feedback to them.
Action Learning Sets
These are normally half day sessions based on the relationship between reflection and action, where the focus is on the issues and problems that the managers bring to the group, and planning future action with the structured attention and support of that group. A major advantage of Action Learning is that participants are able to look at the real problems which concern them, rather than considering hypothetical ones, and they are responsible for the selection of the topic(s) or problem(s) discussed.
Your Management Development Programme can include some or all of the above!
The choice is yours.

Here are some recent examples of leadership & management development programmes we have been responsible for:
The Brief
Allianz Insurance is one of the largest general insurers in the UK and part of the Allianz SE Group, one of the leading integrated financial services providers worldwide and the largest property and casualty insurer in the world.
They recognised that there was a need for development of their new managers, who had been brought on-board after a large expansion drive.
Allianz wanted to identify their management potential and build the skills of their entire management team, many of whom were new to the company, along with others who had many years' experience in the industry.
They wanted to develop their 'softer' skills, as the technical side of the job was taken care of by training and development inside the company. Any training carried out was to be aimed at evolving their management, coaching, delegating and overall leadership skills.
The Solution
After analysing the overall outcomes required by Allianz, MTD developed a bespoke twelve-month programme that covered all aspects of leadership within the insurance industry. It was aimed at new and existing managers who had varied exposure to training and development.
Following a 360 review, a Myers-Briggs analysis and a Belbin report, material was developed that helped all participants to partake in line with their own particular learning styles.
The Feedback
The programme was very successful. The feedback was excellent and there was an increase of 21% in the scores obtained from a pre and post-programme 360 degree exercise that was carried out. Allianz have continued to use MTD each year for different cohorts of their managers. Over 100 managers have now been involved in the development programme.
The success of the programme has meant many managers have been allocated for promotional prospects, and the feedback has allowed MTD to bespoke the information for all delegates.
The Brief
Through their acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, Xerox now are the world's leading enterprise for business process and document management, offering global services from claims reimbursement and automated toll transaction to customer care centres and HR benefits management.
Xerox had a need for developing their European management teams and turned to MTD to come up with the answers. The company required detailed cultural differences in the programmes, which were to be run in the UK, France, Spain and Poland.
Emphasis was to be placed on how their management team could strategise future working relationships with their European teams and how to keep up with the ever increasing demands of their customer base.
The programme needed to cover leadership skills and all the softer skills that would encourage good leadership practice to be rolled out throughout the teams that the managers were responsible for.
The Solution
MTD devised a year-long programme for each country, run in native language, highlighting the key components of leadership for each level of the organisation.
A series of five modules (10 days) were developed that covered the main essential components that makes Xerox the company of choice for employees and clients alike.
Soft skills like leadership behaviours and styles were measured and applied after each module. Each manager had direct contact with their programme leader to discuss new elements of leadership that can be applied in their real world.
The Feedback
The programme was first launched back in 2009 to groups in the UK, France, Poland and Spain. Since then, over 200 managers have attended the programme, a great reflection in not only how successful it has been, but on the trust this global company places in MTD to assist in their overall management development.
"We strongly recommend MTD as a training and coaching provider. For their professionalism and for the successful results we have achieved."
Maria Gomez – HR Manager – Xerox
"The programme content has been
informative, interactive and fun…"
"I have no hesitation in commenting on the Management Development Programme that has been delivered here at Malvern by Mark Williams of MTD. Mark is very professional, enthusiastic, and dedicated. The programme content has been informative, interactive and fun, has been well received, and has more than adequately met our high standards of expectation"
Tina Beckett – Learning & Development Officer – Malvern Hills District Council
The Brief
Malvern Hills District Council identified that the quality of their leadership would be a vital factor in becoming one of the best performing District Councils in the country.
To that end they wanted to develop their 50 managers to lead and drive the council forward and to bring some "commercial awareness" to how the district was being run. We were selected to design, implement and deliver their management development programme.
The Solution
After gathering and determining the requirements we designed and delivered a modular 6 month Management Training Development Programme and following on from that a Team Effectiveness and Organisational Learning strategy to be implemented throughout the council.
Within this particular solution we wanted to ensure that:
- The managers were not taken away from the workplace for long periods of time.
- The MDP should be a mixture of training based modules and other learning activities that can be completed "at the office"
- A support structure is put in place that supports and aids the learning after a training event has taken place.
- Steps will be taken to measure the success of the MDP and to ensure that Malvern District Council has received "Value for money"
- The MDP should support the competency framework that has been developed and use this as a baseline to build skills and behaviours.
The Contents
The Management Development Programme Consisted Of:
- 6 Training Modules – each of 2-days in duration spread across the 6 months
- Each manager to receive 2 formal coaching sessions with a qualified coach
- 2 Work Based assignments to be completed throughout the programme
- Ongoing mentoring, support and guidance from each trainer
- Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the success of the programme – 360 degree feedback, interviews, assessments, behavioural and performance changes in the delegates
The Team Effectiveness & Organisational Learning Programme Consisted Of:
- Team planning and implementation away days
- Team building activities and events across areas of the council to break down barriers and promote high performance working
- Cross departmental working analysis on how work is constructed and how it all fits together across multiple areas
- Best practise sharing and performance improvement workshops to develop organisational learning capacity across the council
- Mentoring programme implemented throughout the council to foster and promote learning and development
"An excellent programme. I loved the inclusive approach. I am now going to be able to work much more closely with support staff so they understand my needs and I understand theirs"
Colin Davis – Strategic Director Operational Services
"The various assessments and questionnaires gave a great insight into my "comfort zones" in terms of styles and behaviours. I can now reflect on this and be aware that I may need to step back and modify my approach to certain situations"
Siobhan Moss – Accountancy Services Manager
"The programme completely met my needs. I really liked the way that leadership was applied to real life situations. I now know how to "lead" rather than "manage". Thank you! It was a great opportunity for development"
Peter Gillett – Head Of Financial Services & IT
"It was a very enjoyable programme. A great team effort. I will now be able to look at the "bigger picture" rather than just my little piece of the council! Mark was an excellent tutor throughout the modules – thank you"
Hilary Law – Careline Services Officer
"Our Leading High Performance Teams Programme has
been brilliantly received by the participants…"
"We chose MTD because of their enthusiasm at our initial meetings and because we felt their refreshing approach to people development fitted our particular needs. I feel we have now developed a very professional relationship but with a personal touch. Our Leading High Performance Teams Programme has been brilliantly received by the participants and we are starting to see the benefits that we had hoped for."
John Owen – Training Manager – Friends Provident International
The Brief
Friends Provident International Limited (FPIL) is the international operation for Friends Provident Life and Pensions, one of the major players in the UK life and pensions market. Friends Provident recently acquired FPIL from Royal Sun Alliance.
It was anticipated that there would be significant changes to the structure and approach to their traditional business model, and the nature of what each of their operational sites delivers would change significantly and dramatically in the next 3 to 5 years. FPIL recognised that they needed to equip their managers with the tools and skills to drive through this change and to ultimately deliver the FPIL promise to its customers in ever changing circumstances.
The Solution
MTD were chosen to deliver FPIL's Management Development Programme that was designed and based around their existing competency framework.
It was important to FPIL that it was an accredited programme and hence we made the programme an "endorsed award" from the Institute of Leadership and Management.
The Contents
The Management Development Programme Consisted Of:
6 Training Modules – each of 2-days in duration spread across the 6 months
Each manager to receive 2 formal coaching sessions with a qualified coach
1 work based assignment that formed the evaluation criteria for the formal accreditation from the ILM.
Ongoing mentoring, support and guidance from each trainer
Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the success of the programme – 360 degree feedback, interviews, assessments, behavioural and performance changes in the delegates

Washington, Sep 25 (ANI): Scientists have unearthed genetic clues to evolution of jaws in vertebrates.
A half-billion years ago, vertebrates lacked the ability to chew their food, as they did not have jaws. Instead, their heads consisted of a flexible, fused basket of cartilage.
Now, an international team of researchers, led by a faculty member from the University of Colorado, has noted that three genes in jawless vertebrates might have been key to the development of jaws in higher vertebrates.
The finding is potentially significant in that it might help explain how vertebrates shifted from a life of passive "filter feeding" to one of active predation.
"Essentially what we found is that the genetic roots of the vertebrate jaw can be found in the embryos of a weird jawless fish called the sea lamprey," said Daniel Meulemans Medeiros, lead author of the study.
Lampreys are eel-like fish with no jaws and a "very strange skeleton compared to their cousins" with jaws, said Medeiros.
But "when we looked carefully at how genes are used during the development of the lamprey head, we saw that the basic plan for a jaw is there, and that only a few genes likely had to be moved around to create full-blown jaws," he said.
Between jawless vertebrates -- called agnathans -- and vertebrates with jaws-called gnathosomes-only three genes of the 12 genes the team looked at appeared to be used differently, Medeiros said. This finding suggests "creating a jaw in a jawless ancestor was a relatively simple matter of altering when and where these few genes are used."
The findings support a new scenario for jaw evolution, an area that has been an open question in vertebrate evolution.
Viewing the eel-like fish, "It was hard to imagine how something like that could evolve into the strong, snapping, biting, chewing jaws of a shark, fish or mammal," said Medeiros.
The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (ANI)

Shell has pledged to outspend arch-rival BP both in dividend payments and new investment.
Speaking at the oil giant's annual strategy update, outgoing chief executive Jeroen van der Veer said Shell will commit to growing the divi this year and will out-invest BP by a margin of three to two.
"Dividends are an important statement of confidence in the future, and Shell is the only company in the sector to have already announced dividend growth plans for 2009," he added.
Van der Veer said first-quarter dividends will rise 5% year on year and payouts will top $10 billion (£7.1 billion) for the year.The statement is a thinly veiled barb aimed at BP, whose chief executive Tony Hayward has committed only to retaining the dividend rather than growing it.
Van der Veer said Shell's spending in 2009 will be between $31 billion and $32 billion, about $10 billion more than BP.
He warned that Shell is preparing for another year of depressed oil prices.
"These are testing times in the oil and gas industry," he said. "We don't have a crystal ball on oil prices so we are planning on the basis that the downturn could last more than a year"
Richard Griffith, analyst at Evolution said: "The key message is that in spite of market volatility, it can continue to grow its dividend even in a downturn. Yielding 7.3% and having just confirmed dividends are sustainable, Shell has kicked the dividend-cut debate into the long grass."
The company today confirmed it remains at the centre of a probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice in the US into whether it and other oil firms are guilty of breaking the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act concerning the bribing of Customs officials in Nigeria. Shell previously had a run-in with the SEC about overstatement of reserves.
It is targeting investment in new oil and gas fields capable of producing a million barrels of oil a day to boost production by between 2% and 3% in the next decade.
"The challenge in upstream is to produce new barrels to offset natural field decline and to create new growth," said van der Veer.

University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
SESSION TITLE: Cardiovascular Student/Resident Case Report Posters I
SESSION TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Report
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) commonly occurring in the lungs, liver, and brain. A recent literature review identified only 89 HHT patients with symptomatic hepatic AVMs. Depending on the shunt pathway, symptomatic liver AVMs cause high output heart failure (HOHF), portal hypertension, or biliary ischemia. We present a patient initially treated for pulmonary hypertension later found to have HOHF secondary to shunting from liver AVMs.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old woman with HHT status post right lower lobectomy secondary to pulmonary AVM (1995) and recent diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension on sildenafil was transferred with renal failure and significant peripheral edema. Three months earlier, the patient's mild lower extremity edema rapidly worsened and she developed shortness of breath requiring supplemental oxygen. At the time, she underwent ECHO and catheterization that revealed elevated pulmonary pressures. Sildenafil was started for pulmonary hypertension without improvement in symptoms. During the current admission, heart catheterization showed elevated heart pressures with high cardiac output. Cardiac index was approximately twice normal, while cardiac output approached three times normal values. Sildenafil was stopped as catheterization confirmed suspicion of HOHF secondary to liver AVMs. Liver ultrasound revealed multiple AVMs. The patient was aggressively diuresed with moderate improvement in her edema and renal function. Hepatology was consulted for liver transplant evaluation in the event medical therapy failed.
DISCUSSION: Hepatic AVMs cause irregular blood flow due to a low-pressure outlet for high-pressure arterial blood, bypassing capillary beds and thus, decreasing systemic vascular resistance. The body compensates by increasing heart rate, stroke volume, and total plasma volume. Chronic volume overload causes ventricular enlargement, remodeling, and HOHF. HOHF requires treatment of the underlying cause - in our patient, the cause is massive A-V shunting. Hepatic artery embolization results in poor outcomes. Experimental therapy with bevacizumab has shown promise. The most effective and definitive treatment after medical therapy failure is liver transplantation.
CONCLUSIONS: Hepatic AVMs can cause elevated pulmonary pressures and HOHF. Patients with HHT are often seen by pulmonologists due to pulmonary AVMs or elevated pulmonary pressures. HHT is under-diagnosed; it is important to recognize this disorder as screening and management guidelines can significantly decrease morbidity and mortality.

text: I have an new Asus K52F notebook that's pre installed with Windows 7 x64 HP. I have no dvd as such and will have to rely on the recovery partition to solve any problems that may ... OK, will occur. Now , my question is .... Is it possible to break into the protected recovery partition , remove all the bloat that comes with a new notebook and add my own applications to it ? So if and when i recover , all my stuff is good to go. As you can see i have around 30 gig on my C drive ( see screen capture) Plan B, If i trim down my current install to under 30 gig , would adding an image to a 32 gig flash drive be a suitable way of recovering my drive image for later use. (I used to mess about with themes and .dlls a fair bit and will most likely start my shenanigans again once I'm bored ) Seems a very tight fit on a flash drive to me , are you meant to have a certain amount of free space on a recovery flash drive , or can i fill it to the brim ? Sure i can buy a 64 gig flash , but it seems like over kill to me not to mention added expense. I do have an old external drive and will be buying a shiny new one next week , but id prefer to have an image on a flash that i can keep handy and use when needed, if that makes any sense at all ? Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks.

The dareMature
This morning Adam stood at the front gate for a few moments, taking in the sad scene before him with a sigh. As he pressed against the gate it gave a loud squeal of protest as it finally gave way and allowed the visitor to move within and to follow the slightly overgrown walk up to the door. Nearing the house he hears the quiet strains of music escaping through one of the side windows, a dance to be sure, but be it a waltz or something different Adam has no idea.
With a light knock he opens the door for himself, knowing that Andrew would probably not hear it unless he was happening past the door at the moment. For that matter there was the question of if he would even realize what it was, pulled so far away from reality that the sound may be unrecognizable.
Following the music through the hall and approaching the grand ballroom, or what had been grand in the mansions heydays. Adam smiles quietly and leans lightly against the door frame, watching Andrew as he dances, moving his way around the room with a wheeled dress form, both dressed as though they were out for an evening on the town, Andrew in a suit and tie, the mannequin in a red gown with lace down the front of the bodice and on the cuffs.
Adam shakes his head, amused, and speaks just loud enough to be heard over the music as he pushes off of the door frame and walk further into the room. "You are quite mad you know Andy," even as the strange dance continues.
With a smile over his partners shoulder he nods at Adam, "Am I really? Tell me why is it mad for a man to dance with what is about as close to a perfect woman as there is?"
The music ends and Andrew turns gracefully, bringing his girl to his side and giving Adam a slight bow. His arm going around the forms waist and walking over to Adam, the 'girl' in tow, "Good to see you my friend, would you care to pour us a brandy, we could sit and talk for a bit."
Adam nods and moves toward the bar, asking as he does, "So am I pouring two or three?" reaching for glasses and bottle.
Andrew moves to one of the chairs scattered around the edge of the room, placing his dance partner standing next to it, "Two if course, I've not taken leave of my senses quite so far as to believe my inanimate friend would have the ability to drink."
Handing the drink to the seated man and taking a seat across from him. Taking a sip he says, "So Andy, tell me how your new love is a near perfect woman as I for one see several flaws in that logic but am willing to listen to your side first."
Smiling as he settles back and takes his own sip the probable mad man begins, "My friend, so many wonderful points. To begin with, she will never disagree with me over anything, even if the clothes I would have her wear were not so flattering she would not protest, if I wish a waltz and she prefers a foxtrot it is a waltz we dance." Pausing for another sip he smiles and continues, "If I wish a bit of quiet she will not bother me nor does she nag about chores that need be done."
A thoughtful look crosses his face before he adds, "I will admit she is not much for housework but I am more than willing give that up for knowing she will not die and leave me to fend for myself."
Adam chuckles and takes a few sips through his friends side of the discussion taking his argument when Andrew stops, "While some of those points are perhaps valid I would think that a little bit of idle talk, a little warmth, not to mention some other things that a real woman could provide."
"Oh come now, again you give my state as a bit further along than it is, I've not yet got to the point of thinking of my new friend as a lover, agreeably a warm body would be more interesting for that purpose. Besides, she is not that kind of girl." After another sip Andrew adds, "Though since I have been alone that has not been something that has been pressing on my mind. Beth has stopped by now and again through the last several years and seems to be quite willing to take care of my in that manner, but I would feel that it was an imposition to take her up on that."
"Andrew, you are just fifty I know, it seems to me that certain pleasures of the flesh would still be of interest, it's not like you are old and unable, and I believe that you simply have had a lack of visual input to interest you."
With a slight laugh the answer comes, "I am certain that if the need really struck me I could allow Beth to take care of that, and frankly there are enough of the ladies in town that would believe a chance to inherit everything I have, knowing that there is still a decent amount of money left in the estate to keep them after I am gone...perhaps you suggest that I drop some money for one of the ladies of less than pure intent?"
Adam smiles and says, "Those ladies you speak of provide a needed service, can you really imagine that they stopped doing so? The world would be in chaos, every man that had to do without taking his aggression out on others, it'd be another war."
Andrew holds up his hand, "Is there really anything I am missing with my friend here that you would have with your girl of the moment?"
Adam frowns slightly at the comment, "That was uncalled for, you know I have been with Kat for the better part of three years now." Taking another sip of his brandy he looks for a moment then smiles," Perhaps I should see if she can get a hold of her friend and bring the both of them over. You may find out that Becca is perhaps as well behaved as your new friend. Have you given her a name by the way?"
Andrew gives a chuckle, "So you would bring me a sacrificial lamb? I am not certain that I have the necessary social skills to lure a young lady to my chambers any more, it's been a long time since I have needed to do that, but I suppose if you are offering to deliver I could at least be a good host to you and the ladies," a moment later asking with a most serious face, "Do you think I should name her? I mean if we are going to dance I should have something to call her."
Clapping his hand to his thigh, almost spilling his drink as he does Adam replies happily, "Then I will make those arrangements, how would next Friday be? Want to give you enough time to be ready, not enough to back out." Taking the last of the brandy in one deep swig he stands and looks at the dress form for a moment, "How about Mandy? Mandy the mannequin."
Andrew stands also and begins walking to the door with his friend, "Next Friday will be fine, and I'll not back out. But you know you've a lot of nerve calling me mad and coming up with a name like that." With a crooked smile he adds, "But it's as good as any, so Mandy she will be."
A few more words of good bye at the door and the men go their separate ways, Adam smiling and shaking his head as he hears the music start again before he once again moves through the noisy gate and makes his way down the lane, heading back to the town proper.

The Seven Girls
"SADIE!" Two girls burst through into the room.
"OMG! You haven't been here in ages!" cried Victoria, or Vicky as she likes to be known as. I laughed at her excitment, and she beamed back at me, shaking her bobbed brown hair aside from her face. The other girl smiled at me shyly, and held out a mug of steaming coffee. Poppy is a very quiet young lady, always hiding behind her curtain long black hair , but she's a really good friend. Vicky and Poppy are inseparable, which at first seems a little weird because of their contrast in characters, but is actually perfect.
I gratefully took the hot mug with both hands, and listened in to Vicky's chatter, with Poppy getting a word in occasionally. Jennie dashed in and out of the room, cleaning up and sorting things out. She's like the mother of the flat! Soon we heard the front door open, and in came another two girls, Jasmine and Charlotte.
"Hi Sadie!" they called, taking off their jackets. "Long time no see!"
"Hey Jaz, hey Charlie!" I called back. "Where have you been?"
The girls came through to the living room and dived onto a sofa. "Just been up in Edinburgh for the day," said Jaz, yawning "Getting some clothes and stuff!"
I suppressed a giggle. Jaz is always up late, so she is always very tired! But even her baggy eyes don't match Charlotte's black make up. She is a goth; black eyes, black hair, black clothes, black lips... You get the picture. Charlie comes across as very grumpy and moody, but she can be lovely! She smiled a rare smile at me from across the room.
I heard a key fumbling about in the lock, then an exasperated voice, and the door swung open. Leah walked in, stopped, sneezed, then came straight into the living room, talking to Bellatrix, closely followed by Bellatrix, who was giggling.
"... right, Bella, right! You turn the key right to open the door! Why can't you get that? And also, please try not to lose your train ticket again, especially not on front of everyone in the whole of Queen Street Station! And... oh hi Sadie! Didn't expect you to be..." Leah errupted into an enormous sneeze then sat down and grinned. Leah is forever sneezing. It's quite funny! She and daft old Bella, who is hilariously forgetful, make a right funny pair. But for all their bickering, they're best friends.
Just then, Jennie bustled in and sat down. "Right, that's your bed all sorted! I've unpacked your bag as well. Seriously Sadie, you had crammed so much stuff in that one bag it looks like you're staying for a month!"
I looked down at the floor and twiddled my fingers. All the girls stared at me in curiousity. I sighed.
"Well, that's actually what I need to talk to you guys about. But can it wait? I'm exhausted. I'll tell you all in the morning?"
"Sure," Jennie said, "Come on girls, let's get to bed. Sadie needs her beauty sleep!"
