How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Our senior community is very proud to be an affordable rental option in Sarasota. Although, we are not subsidized by the federal government, we are a HUD 202 for the elderly. Jefferson Center has 220 residents who rent the 209 efficiency and one bedroom apartments. Our rents range from $442 to $609 per month and the rent includes 24 hour maintenance, utilities and basic cable TV. The Jefferson Center Foundation was established in 1978 to assist our residents. Our accomplishments this year include: * Bus transportation for our seniors to the market, pharmacy, shopping, and outings that include visits to museums and restaurants. We presently have a 20 passenger bus, but it is not wheelchair accessible. Residents who use wheelchairs, scooters or walkers do not have safe access to ride the bus. * Providing the funds necessary for one day of chore services of housekeeping or grocery shopping when our resident returns from a hospital stay. * Funding to provide for holiday events and celebrations which include Older Americans' Month of May and our resident holiday meal and entertainment. * New residents receive kitchen pot holders reminding them ""Never to walk away from the stove when cooking!"" as a fire safety measure.

I made a vow-
to mend your wings,
but I faultered terribly
against my oath.
My heart dropped,
while you did the same.
The tree limb flight was too high

I tuned into the match at about the 70th minute. Edu looked absolutely exhausted. Eventually got subbed out, probably ten minutes too late.
Horribly sliced was probably a bit of an over statement. It was foolish to even shoot from there though.
That's exactly right. Because we should judge the quality of a player and, therefore, the quality of an entire group of midfielders, based on a 70-minute performance.
FYI, even good players have bad games. It's preposterous to say, "Edu had a bad 70 minutes, "maybe our central midfield isn't as strong as we would like to thing." It is equally ridiculous to see a midfielder score a goal in one game and then immediately go to the "here is my ideal starting central midfield for the national team: [goal scorer] + Edu/Bradley/Jones/Holden" and then go on to tear apart the players that wouldn't be in the "ideal" selection. What else did that goal scorer do in that game? What else has that goal scorer done over the previous games?
Good players have great games and bad games, just like every other athlete. If commenters must engage in the "this is my starting XI" and discuss depth for a national team, a player's quality should be judged on the body of his work over a month or two (if assessing form) and on the body of his work over a year or more of actual playing time (if assessing overall quality or potential).
I am not trying to take this out on you Beckster–this just caught me as a particularly odd comment.
Mo has logged in a lot of minutes this year and has played numerous positions. Overall he's had a great year. He was probably due for a break.
It's called form, and he doesn't have it right now.
Its called quality. He also doesn't have that.
where is stuart holden? how long is he out?
He is slated to miss the Gold Cup, so his season at Bolton is definitely over.
Arsenal Fan
Can arsenal please take a shot from outside the box. Trying to be able to pass the ball from 6 yards into the net doesn't seem to be workin
I think the FSC commentator said it best. Plenty of intricacy and not enough incision to Arsenal's play. I'd like to see them keep things testy for Man U as the EPL winds down so they have 3+ change to win this one and keep their title hopes alive.
Well. 2-1 Bolton in the 89th. Where the F*** was the Arsenal marking on that corner. Fork in their season.
Its time to give Wenger his marching papers. He refuses to do what needs to be done for the club, he needs to upgrade at CB and GK and literally every single person who follows football can see that. Trash performance and he clearly has lost his touch with this group of players.
As a Gunner fan, I'm absolutely disgusted. Arsenal is the single worst set piece defending team that I've ever seen and Wenger has not addressed this obvious weakness. Time and time again they concede goals on set pieces. As for the final 3rd, take a bloody shot on target. They can't play direct. It's mind-bogglin'!!! This team needs some SERIOUS changes if it wants to truly compete. They need tougher, more direct players that can mix with the more technical players. It's so obvious. I'm gutted.
This is literally the anti-thesis of a lot of US Soccer fans. hahahaha. People think the USA play's to ugly/direct/negative.
Rolfe with a goal for Aalborg in a 3-3 tie after coming in with 30 minutes left.
I don't know if I'd go as far as you, but the Arsenal board definitely needs to sit Wenger down at the end of this season and say, "Look, Arsene: your side plays technically brilliant football, but they've been hamstrung by the same problems for the past six years: poor set-piece defending, lack of a central defender, terrible GKs, lack of strong leadership, lack of a healthy striker with a finisher's mentality. You've got one season to get things moving in the right direction, because the status quo isn't good enough anymore. You don't have to win the title next year, but you have to show enough improvement to convince us that things are moving in the right direction or else we'll find a manager who can do this."
Wenger's a brilliant manager, and credit to him for sticking to his guns, but doing the exact same thing year after year with the exact same result ought to convince him that he needs to change it up.
As great as Van Persie and Fabregas can be when they're in form, they're ALWAYS injured and/or playing back into form. There's no leadership since Henry and Vieira left, and while a player like Vieira isn't exactly replaceable, they haven't had a central midfielder of his caliber since. It's time to bring in a player to provide veteran leadership because it's clear that for all their combined footballing talent, none of the current batch has it.
Ahhh… settling into good ol' Easter ham coma and checking out the final ten of Lille v. Lorient. Both teams playing for the W and good combination of technical play + pace. Memo to Fox – please show more Ligue 1 on FSC
Brent McD
not trying to defend arsenal's failure to buy players, but they do have a good CB named Vermaelen — turns out his injury was more costly than anyone could have anticipated.
imagine Chelsea playing the season without Terry, or ManU playing the season without Vidic.
How is that different from a West Ham coma?
PseudoNEmous Commenter
Someone in a Easter ham coma plays better soccer than most of West Ham's roster. "Coma" I am also betting is one of the horrible one-word names that MLS 1994 was considering: "San Jose Coma?" "Nah, we'd better go with Clash."
Empty Bucket
Man, supporting a team in the top 4 every year must be rough.
Some of you are talking like this team is trash. They don't need an overhaul or a managerial switch. They've had a rash of injuries and lost their best central defender for a long period of time and it has cost them points. You guys will get your keeper next year and challenge for the title again. To say that this team was always going to be incapable of winning the title this season would be a fallacy, imo.

Ian Bell is expected to recover from tonsillitis in time to play for England in the second Test against New Zealand starting on Friday.
He was forced to leave his sick bed to try to shore up the second innings in the match at Lord's, but England's medical team are confident there will be no relapse.
Although England eventually won in a grand manner with some wonderful bowling, it was largely a disappointing match for their batsmen. Bell was among those who had a poor time of it.
His illness was the reason for his lethargy in making 31 from 133 balls in the first innings and then driving to slip in the second, but it was hard to resist comparisons with another England batsman who suffered from tonsillitis. On the 1932-33 Bodyline Tour of Australia, Eddie Paynter left a Brisbane nursing home where he had been committed with a temperature of 102F, made a heroic 83 and won the match with a six. With Bell fit, there are unlikely to be any changes to the squad.
Kevin Pietersen hopes to play again for Surrey at the end of next month. No date has yet been set for his return from a knee injury but he will put immediate pressure on at least four members of the England batting order for the Ashes.
New Zealand have called up left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori to replace Bruce Martin ahead of the second Test. Martin's tour has ended because of a calf injury.

The Ghost of Christmas Radio
When does Christmas start for you?
For oldies station WRIT-FM (95.7) it started Thursday at 5 p.m. when it switched to a holiday music format, like it does every year. However, WMYX-FM (99.1), another perennial Christmas music station, will wait until Monday, the station's announcers said on the air Friday.
Waiting until then "made more sense," WMYX morning show announcer Kidd O'Shea told listeners.
However, O'Shea jokingly offered to play any Christmas song request made by a listener who came to the station and gave him $20. He said WMYX will sprinkle Christmas music into its regular adult contemporary format before Monday and then did so playing Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."
WRIT switched during the lighting of the city Christmas tree ceremony at Red Arrow Park Thursday.
WMYX was a sponsor of the event. Traditionally, the stations compete for the Christmas music audience and when one would switch the other would switch shortly thereafter.
This is the latest the switch had been made in recent years. WMYX was the first to switch last year, on Nov. 14, and WRIT followed 15 minutes later. Two years ago the stations started playing holiday music the day after Halloween.

Press Release
Our 9th Annual …
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Foundation was pleased to present its 9th Annual Golf Tournament on October 29th at the fabulous PGA Resort and Spa

and it was a
Major Success
Our 2016 Golf Tournament was a huge success and we are very appreciative to all who participated in any way.
We had 40 sponsors at different levels and of course without their support we would not be able to conduct this Tournament.
We also had some 250 golfers, of all skills who came out and supported us and had an outstanding day of golf.
And not to be forgotten are the dozens of volunteers who made it all possible.
Land Rover Palm Beach
was outstanding and provided each of the players with a designer golf shirt showing both the
Land Rover
label and the Tournament logo.
They also provided Two hole-in-one
Land Rover
Sport cars... but unfortunately no one was skilled enough to win them.
We are very appreciative of their sponsorship and hope to see them back again next year.
United Technologies
is a new resident in the City of Palm Beach Gardens and we were pleased to have them as our Platinum Sponsor.
United Technologies
is in the process of building a major facility on Donald Ross Road. Their new UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings will offer a world-class customer experience in the heart of our City.
We were very proud to have them sponsoring this year's Platinum Tournament.

As we begin the scouting process, there is no clear-cut No. 1 receiver that stands above the rest of the crowd. And though several prospects can stake claim as the top player at this position, it is quite possible no wideout will be selected in the top half of round one next April if things do not dramatically change.
Arizona State's Derek Hagan is arguably the top receiver prospect. A consistent pass catcher, he employs terrific technique with football smarts. Hagan always comes through in the clutch with the important grab during the critical moments. At the same time, he makes ordinary receptions with regularity. Doing the little things well, Hagan's downfield blocking also stands out. He is by no means a speedster that stretches the defense, and at 6-1, 195 pounds, Hagan possesses just ordinary size for the next level.
Also battling for the top receiver spot will be Todd Watkins. Similarly sized to Hagan, the BYU product has been very productive and presents himself as a game-breaking receiver with a nose for the end zone. Averaging 20 yards per catch on 52 receptions, Watkins found the end zone six times last season. He also averaged 95 yards receiving per game for an anemic Cougar offense. Watkins is the player offensive coaches game plan around while opponents must account for him on every down. Postseason workouts at the combine will dictate how early in round one Watkins is selected next April.
If there is one prospect who could make a major leap up draft boards it would easily be Martin Nance of Miami-Ohio. A physically gifted prospect with terrific size/speed numbers (6-4/212/4.40), Nance is an outstanding receiver with the production to match. Ben Roethlisberger's favorite target in 2003, Nance set school records of 90 receptions and 1,498 receiving yards while falling just shy of the touchdown mark with 11. High on the list of available juniors entering the '04 season, Nance saw his season cut short after tearing an ACL in his left knee during the season's fifth game. He has all the tools to be a big-time NFL wideout, yet must prove his knee is back at full strength. At his best, Nance stands atop this list.
Jason Avant of Michigan is another good-sized receiver, minus the speed. Avant consistently comes away with the difficult catch in a crowd or the important reception on third down. At face value he looks like a proto-typical "possession wideout" for the next level, and Avant has plenty to offer.
The best combination of receiver and return specialist comes in the form of Skyler Green from LSU. A shifty and explosive skill player, Green is a threat anytime the ball is in his hands. Possessing marginal size/speed numbers, Green looks best as a third receiver at the next level who will earn his wage on special teams.
Other seniors who presently carry a first-day grade are Mike Hass of Oregon State, Colorado State's David Anderson and Jovon Bouknight of Wyoming.
Recently, underclassmen receivers have made a major impact during the draft's early selections. And while they will improve the landscape next April, it does not look as though any eligible underclassman will broach the beginning part of round one.
Ohio State junior Santonio Holmes is a big-play receiver with the extra gear to beat defenses deep. Consistently improving his game, Holmes will be a top-32 selection if he enters next April's draft. Steve Smith of USC is quite similar in that he breaks games open with big receptions down the field. Miami Hurricane wide-out Ryan Moore is a king-sized possession receiver who offers the quarterback an imposing target on third down or in the red zone. Both Moore and Smith are underclassmen with top-60 potential.

Festival lights up seaside town
The Shimmer Festival takes place in Whitley Bay this weekend, lighting up landmarks in the town with digital art.
The Shimmer Festival takes place in Whitley Bay this weekend, lighting up landmarks in the town with digital art.
A seaside town has taken on an enchanted feel as an illuminations festival gets underway. Whitley Bay in North Tyneside is staging 'Shimmer', a digital arts festival introduced last year as a build-up to Bonfire Night, bathing buildings in waves of light.
An animated film called 'Diversión' forms the centrepiece of the event, lighting up the town's Spanish City dome in vibrant colours.The Waves leisure pool and the Panama Dip skate park are hosting light-based works by cutting-edge artists.
The festival, which has a £50,000 budget, will draw to a close with a fireworks display held on Sunday evening.
"The council had never commissioned anything like that before, but when they saw how fantastic it was they thought we've got to do it again."One of the reasons the festival was so successful last year was that people really responded to the work."

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

By RYAN TOLMICH
For the third time in team history, the U.S. Women's National Team will take the field at Rio Tinto Stadium.
U.S. Soccer announced Monday that the Salt Lake City area will play host to a clash between the U.S. and Mexico on September 13. The matchup will be the first of a two-part series, with the two teams also scheduled to face off September 18 at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, N.Y.
The pair of games will serve as the final warm-ups for the two teams as they head towards the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship, in which the top three teams will automatically qualify for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
The September clash will mark the first USWNT visit to the home of Real Salt Lake since a June 30, 2012 victory over Canada. The U.S. also boast a previous victory over Mexico at the venue, having knocked off their North American rivals 1-0 on March 31, 2010 in what was forward Alex Morgan's first senior cap.
The U.S. holds a 26-1-1 record over their neighbors to the south, with the lone Mexico victory coming in the 2010 CONCACAF Women's Championship in Cancun, Mexico.
What do you think of the announcement? Plan on attending?
Share your thoughts below.
Alex H
This is ridiculous. Why are we giving our opponents a chance to scout us out right before qualification. We may meet them in the semifinal round and, I believe, the loser of that round misses the WC, so why take chances.
So your solution is to just not play any matches, period?
Not sure that playing them ahead of time really helps the Mexicans, anyway.

We can play against non CONCACAF teams or against Canada as they do not need to qualify.
Also we could play 2 intersquad games and sell tickets. It would probably have a bigger gate, get a network to actually televise the game and provide more information about who the best players on the team are.
One problem: these two games fall on FIFA WWC qualifying dates for South America and Europe…therefore all those teams are out of contention.
That leaves NZ, Asian teams or Canada…it's possible those teams were contacted and turned it down…we don't know.
I do think you're overselling the importance of being able to "scout" the USWNT…it's not as if they haven't played each other or the players from both sides don't play in the same domestic league.
If Mexico somehow beats the USWNT (remember they're not playing in Cancun this time), it sure as heck ain't gonna be because they got to scout and play them in two friendlies a month beforehand.
Also, the top three teams qualify for the WWC, therefore one semifinal loser will qualify via winning the third place match.

Embracing your curls begins with a proven three-step hair care technique: Cleanse. Hydrate. Style. That's the Deva 3-Step. No matter your curl type: S'wavy, Wavy, Botticelli or Corkscrew, doing the Deva 3-Step guarantees naturally gorgeous and frizz free, manageable curls.
Step 1: Cleanse
The Deva 3-Step begins with a good cleanse . A healthy scalp and hair cleanser is the first step to beautiful, perfect curls. Most shampoos contain harsh, dehydrating detergents that create lather that strip curls of their moisture and irritate skin. The award-winning DevaCurl No-Poo is different because it's 100% sulfate, paraben and silicone free, and is enriched with a gentle yet protective blend of botanical and moisturizing ingredients.
Use a liberal amount of DevaCurl No-Poo to prepare your scalp and hair for Step 2: Hydrate.
After cleansing the hair, you can hydrate your strands. Work a generous amount of DevaCurl One Condition through water soaked curls to achieve maximum moisturization and conditioning. Glide the conditioner downward through curls with your fingers. The DevaCurl One Condition ultra creamy conditioner is excellent for daily use and for all curl types.
After you have gently rinsed the DevaCurl One Condition from the hair you are ready for Step 3: Style
You've cleansed. You've conditioned. Get ready for style! DevDevaCurl Light Defining Gel is an alcohol free, light hold, moisturizing and defining gel. Using a palmful of the gel, tip your tresses upside down and "scrunch" Light Defining Gel upward toward the scalp. DevaCurl Light Defining Gel dissolves instantly and dries forming a moisture-protection cast to enhance curls.
Once dry, scrunch curls again to release the gel cast. Voila! The result is beautiful, bouncy curls.
Weaves are becoming a cultural staple. Women are giving hair extensions a try since it provides length and color without the longterm commitment. In summer it can become frustrating dealing with extensions due to the heat and, trust me, long hair can add a couple of degrees and beads of sweat to your already hot flashing condition! To cope with the heat while caring for your hair and your extensions here are 5 tips that will carry your hair through the rest of the season:
1. Hydrate your Hair
Condition your hair daily. Conditioning your hair helps retain moisture and keeps strands healthy in the heat. Definitely opt for Cantu Grow Strong Strengthening Treatment and Cantu leave-in conditioner - it's like additional armour for your hair. Wash your hair every couple of days because washing yourhair daily can strip it of its natural oils. When choosing a shampoo avoid hair products with formaldehyde or alcohol these agents can leave hair dry. Use natural products that are gentler on your hair - try Cantu replenishing or moisture shampoo to rebalance and rehydrate the hair. Actually, just check out the product line...it smells great and works even better.
2. Protect your Hair
The suns UV rays can de harmful to your hair. The sun penetrates the hair, drying out the follicle, leaving strand limp and dull. "Always use a heat protector," says Theodore Leaf, professional hair stylist. Start with damp hair and spray your heat protector evenly from root to tip, then comb through. Also, use a color-specific protectant such as John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Hair Serum to help boost color protection and manageability. If you don't have to try these, wear a hat...it's just as effective.
3. Avoid the Heat
Avoid heat inspired styles. In the summer using flat irons, blow drys and other hot tools can cause sever damage to your hair. If you have to use a hot tool, use a heat protecting spray and light oil conditioner and/or a leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture and protect the hair. For continued maintenance:
if you have waves - braid your hair and tie with a satin bonnet/scarf and unravel in the morning and style as you see fit.
if you have curls - wrap your strands with satin rollers to boost curls and tie with a satin bonnet. In the morning, unravel rollers and style as you see fit.
Control style with a frizz control spray or a shine boost with SPF.
Kanye West is taking Kim Kardashian down the same road Amber Rose onced travelled. Sources report that Kanye is starting to influence Kim by encouraging her to add dimension to her style. For starters, Kanye encourages her to go without her hair extensions, he feels she looks great without them. Kim's natural hair is past her shoulders which is just enough for him. "He thinks she should be more like him, edgy with her choices. He keeps saying she should 'evolve' as a fashion icon," a source revealed. "Kanye says she plays it safe too much so has been trying to pick outfits for her to wear and encourage her to be more daring!" but through it all "Kim is a natural beauty and doesn't need to do anything to alter her looks," says Kanye and that works for the both of them.
Women are taking a greater interest in self care using affordable yet high quality products. Salon care at your finger tips is now available in your local Walgreens with Nutress making their products more accessible to women of all incomes - especially minority African American women. A recent study showed minority women taking on more debt than any other group as a percentage of income. However, hair care spending for African American women remains higher than any group -- roughly equaling the amount they spend on health insurance. They face the dual challenge of dealing with complex hair issues while managing tight budgets, says (McTair, Angela).

Nutress offers you salon excellence in your home. Versus centering their product around pretty packaging, Nutress focuses on providing premium ingredients and keeping the products effective yet affordable. Nutress is the originator of protein conditioning in the United States and has been in business for over 60 years. Its products are designed to be multi-purpose and work well on relaxed or natural hair, extensions, and colored-treated hair.

Hair is repaired, protected and moisturized with their special NuFusion Protein Blend.

Nutress Hair invented the protein conditioner and is still the leading choice for many salons and home users looking for a high-performance, no-nonsense products for beautiful, healthy hair.
Nutress Products are available in independent beauty supply stores throughout the United States, and its ecommerce store.

Rain plus humidity equals a deadly combination for your hair. If you're in my hometown,New York, or any where else experiencing this lousy weather, chances are you're probably resorting to a ponytail or braid-which is fine-but don't think that it's your only option. According to hairstylist Adir Abergel, gross weather can be your hair's secret weapon. Despite the odds against your hair it can actually work to yur benefit. Here are some of Abergels suggestions:
STEP ONE: "For the perfect foundation, air-dry your hair so you start with a little body."
STEP TWO: "If your hair is curly, choose a large barrel curling iron to help relax the curl. If your hair is wavy, use an iron the size of your own waves. And if your hair is straight, choose a medium size for the right wave for you. Grab large, random chunks of hair, then wrap them around the barrel of the curling iron, leaving out your ends for an effortless look. Alternate directions as you curl the rest of your hair."
STEP THREE: "Finger-comb your hair to break up the waves, and lock in definition with a shot of medium-hold hair spray. When you're out in the steamy, wet weather, and your hair starts to frizz, don't freak: the conditions will spark up flyaways and add extra body for that sexy, messy hair. It worked for Jessica!"
Jellies: Jellies have resurfaced and have always been a comfortable way for your feet to enjoy any summer day - so why not the rain too? These waterproof shoes are lightweight, waterproof and come in a variety of colors. They won't get ruined in the rain since you can just rinse them off with water and they are back to new. These jellies don't look like your traditional jellies but they give you the style and any woman would need to feel better on a rainy day.
An Umbrella To Remind You Of Better Days: The world outside your blue sky-covered umbrella may be crap, but squint and limited your peripheral vision and you might almost believe it's nice out, provided that you're kind of tipsy and have poor eyesight.
A Rain Coat: Partners Yurika Nakazono and Marie Saeki offer three waterproof coats: a classic, cinched-waist belted trench, a cropped military cape, and a drawstring-waist parka with a monk-size hood. All three come in translucent gray or semisheer camel. Every piece has heat-sealed seams, and is made from sturdy, earth-friendly polyurethane that will decompose after fifteen years in a landfill. It also has structural detailing, strategically placed mesh panels, and storm flaps keep air circulating and ensure you won't become a walking turkish bath!

Currencies are very volatile ahead of the European Summit tomorrow
Major currencies fluctuated heavily today against the U.S. dollar ahead of the European leaders' final summit tomorrow, with all eyes focused on the possible measures that could be taken by leaders to tackle the debt crisis, while the focus will also be on the German parliament, where Merkel seeks parliamentary vote of confidence to bolster the European Financial Stability Facility.
We saw how optimism dominated the market yesterday, while markets are looking forward to the summit tomorrow with hopeful eyes that European leaders will finally provide a mechanism to heal the two-year old debt crisis; however, currencies are fluctuating heavily with lack of major fundamentals from Europe today.
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel seeks a vote of confidence from the lower house of parliament for new EU measures, with indications that Merkel seeksto expand the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) firepower.
European leaders are seeking to recapitalize banks with 100 billion euros and expanding the European Financial Stability Facility to more than 1 trillion euros, according to Juergen Trittin, co-leader of Germany's opposition Greens Party.
The euro fluctuated heavily against the U.S. dollar after the opening in Asia at 1.3928, recording the highest at 1.3959 and the lowest at 1.3877, and is currently hovering around 1.3916.
Moreover, the sterling pound also followed the euro and fluctuated heavily against the U.S. dollar, where after opening the session in Asia at 1.5996, the GBP/USD pair set the highest at 1.6022 and the lowest at 1.5963 and is trading now around 1.5997.
The U.S. dollar index (USDIX), which tracks the dollar's movement against other major currencies, is trading today within narrow levels, yet fluctuated heavily within this range, where after the opening of 76.07, the index recorded a high of 76.28 and a low of 75.94, and is currently trading around 76.10.

In 2016 NRC reached
Individuals, with education, food security, shelter, ICLA and WASH.
Humanitarian and political background
Kenya is hosting close to 600,000 refugees and asylum seekers in the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps, as well as in urban areas. The majority (over 400,000) are Somali, displaced either during the collapse of the Somali state in the early '90s, or more recently because of drought.
In late 2013, conflict in South Sudan led to a rise of South Sudanese refugees in Kenya, which had until then been in decline. Currently, over 100,000 South Sudanese refugees reside in Kenya, most of them in Kakuma. Others are from Ethiopia and the DR Congo. The recent conflict in Burundi has also led to an increase of asylum seekers.
UNHCR, the National Government, the County Government of Turkana and the host community have agreed to relieve pressure on Kakuma camps with a new settlement in Kalobeyei, where refugees share services, with the host communities.
NRC has provided assistance in Kenya since 2007.
Kenyans displaced by climate and conflict
While there are no official or up-to-date figures on internal displacement in Kenya, violence following the election in 2007-2008 displaced 50,000 Kenyan nationals inside the country. In total, around 300,000 people fled the conflict, settling in urban areas.
In February 2016, the government announced that all households who had been displaced after the election have now been resettled. However, inter-communal conflict has affected the north Rift Valley and the country's northeastern regions, with over 200,000 people displaced.
Kenya faces recurrent drought, disease, malnutrition and food insecurity. It also experiences inter-communal conflicts over resources. While categorised as a lower middle-income country with social and economic development, pockets of the country are susceptible to shocks.
Here in these pockets, highly vulnerable refugees and host communities are in need of humanitarian assistance. They often live in arid and semi-arid lands and insecure areas, particularly along borders.
Intention to close the refugee camps
In November 2013, UNHCR, Kenya and Somalia signed a Tripartite Agreement. This legal framework provides for the safe and dignified voluntary repatriation of Somali refugees from Kenya, as well as their reintegration in Somalia.
However, following the growth of terrorist cells and several attacks in the country, there has been political pressure to return refugees in Kenya to their country of origin. In May 2016, the government announced that their refugee affairs department will be disbanded, and that they intend to close Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp.
In November 2016, the Kenya government delayed the closure of Dadaab refugee camp by six months following calls by the international community worried about the protection of the refugees. The closure of the camp are now planned for May 2017 and the government plans to roll out a comprehensive repatriation programme from December 2016.
People we helped in Kenya in 2015
NRC in Kenya
NRC helps refugees and internally displaced people in Kenya's camps access clean water, food, education, and shelter, and helps them exercise their rights.
We provide basic quality education to displaced children and youth, and tailored programmes for those who have missed out on school.
Our education activities:
- Provide children and youth with literacy, numeracy and vocational skills.
- Make sure out-of-school children and youth can catch up to their peers, through Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) and Youth Education Pack (YEP).
- Encourage girls to continue their education.
The training that I acquired from [NRC's youth] programme helped me to reach my dream career as a journalist.
Kin Abdi (25) took a journalism course at the Dadaab Youth Education Centre. Thanks to her determination, she got a job as a radio presenter and now has one of the most popular radio shows in the camp.
Food security
NRC distributes food and food vouchers to people affected by displacement.
In our work for food security, we:
- Distribute food provided by the World Food Programme (WFP).
- Provide cash transfers to promote livelihood recovery.
- Train people in business management and development, supporting them to improve their livelihoods.
To ensure safety and dignity for people forced to flee, we construct temporary shelters and conduct renovations. We also repair existing shelters in camps.
Through our shelter activities, we:
- Construct and renovate classrooms.
- Provide shelter materials.
- Provide tailored training to beneficiaries on shelter construction
Information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA)
NRC provides Somali refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma with information and counselling, and assists them in returning voluntarily and safely to Somalia. NRC also implements ICLA activities to assist the internally displaced population in Mandera, with an emphasis on access to housing, land and property rights and civil documentation.
Through our ICLA activities, we:
- Run the return help desks in Dadaab camp, together with UNHCR and Kenyan authorities.
- Advocate for safe, voluntary and dignified returns.
- Gather information on which areas are safe to return to, and share it with Somali refugees planning to return.
- Provide information, counselling and legal assistance on how to access housing, land and property rights and civil documentation, and training on how to resolve land disputes through collaborative dispute resolution.
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
Water is a human right. Access to clean water and sanitation can save lives and reduce the risk of disease. Providing life-saving assistance, NRC develops infrastructure, treats water, constructs latrines, manages waste, and runs hygiene awareness campaigns.
Our WASH teams work to:
- Facilitate access to clean water and latrines.
- Reduce mortality.
- Raise hygiene awareness.

Awakening to views from the upper storeys of the Oriental Residence, you might believe you'd died and gone to Manhattan. The tree-thronged gardens of the embassy compounds, framed by shimmering skyscrapers, are positively Central Park. From here you get an alternative perspective of the city to the frenzy of street-level downtown Bangkok.
The newest addition to Wireless Road's ambassadorial enclave is the 32-storey Oriental Residence. This gleaming project comes from the owner of Bangkok's landmark deluxe hotel, the Mandarin Oriental. But don't dare call the Oriental Residence a hotel – these are serviced suites. Yet, in the few months since opening, reviews have seen it storm to No 3 among TripAdvisor's short-stay favourites in Bangkok.
Oriental Residence's luxurious tentacles reach out to Suvarnabhumi Airport, where guests are eased into a Jaguar XJS and given an iPad to play with for the 45-minute transfer (for 4,000 baht/£80 one-way). Indeed, the marble-floored, chandelier-draped lobby you arrive at has a hint of luxury-car showroom. There's no hanging around though; your arrival is anticipated by staff ready to whisk you away into the one-, two- or three-bedroom suites. Passport formalities are completed in your living room.
Throughout the property, the neutral (lashings of cream) decor and almost total absence of interior ornamentation, most notably in anodyne corridors between rooms, conveys serenity rather than fashionable minimalism. Yet Oriental Residence is not without frills and thrills. Its two restaurants are zesty additions to the city's exciting culinary scene.
Café Claire, the ground-floor brasserie, melds Francophone and US-diner influences and is already attracting Bangkok's brunch-time smart set. "Your usual beverage, sir?" asked the waitress on my second morning's breakfast. Such attention to detail reflected the Residence's service.
For dinner, the funky Mandopop Restaurant draws a younger and largely non-resident crowd with its interior sensuously lit by twinkling blue table lights. The fourth floor, meanwhile, is given over to a "Playdeck": essentially a small gym and a swimming pool with an open façade.
Introductory rates ensure this is an outstandingly good-value bolthole for urbanites in pursuit of world-class shopping and fabulous cuisine prepared to do battle with downtown's ferocious traffic, raucous din and jostling crowds.
Situated in Wireless Road's relatively sedate embassy district, Oriental Residence is handy for the BTS Skytrain network serving Bangkok's tourist highlights. Phloen Chit station is an easy 10-minute stroll, while a complimentary shuttle bus to Chit Lom station takes five minutes.
From Chit Lom, an aerial skywalk links the mega-malls of CentralWorld, Siam Paragon and MBK, hosting everything from authentic and faked designer brands to buzzy food courts. In the opposite direction is the infamously exhibitionist Sukhumvit: swarming with gourmets, tourists spilling out of seedy go-go bars, and never-ending markets of tat. To get away from it all, stroll 10 minutes south down Wireless Road to lovely Lumphini Park.
Go for a one-bedroom suite with balcony: the floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the suite's already whopping proportions feel even airier.
Thailand's leading luxury interior retailers, Chanintr Living, conceived the mellow decor, with polished homeliness in mind. The living room's dark hardwood flooring is warm underfoot and the comfortable (cream, of course) fabric sofa is long enough to stretch out on while enjoying the 34in flat-screen television and complimentary Lavazza coffee. An iPod docking station plus fast Wi-Fi enhance entertainment options.
Other than using it to shell rambutans from the complimentary fruit bowl, the fully equipped kitchenette might seem redundant. But guests can rent the resident chef for an hour for a private lesson preparing their very own Thai meal (3,000 baht/£61 per hour).
The bathroom again communicates thoughtful luxury, featuring a deep bath, vanity table and powerful walk-in shower, with cleansing products from Penhaligon's of London.

Cottage in Scrabster,Thurso,Scotland-Peaceful Location Yet Close To Town And Beaches
The Bothy is a unique holiday cottage in a spectacular location at the very end of mainland Britain. Perched on Holbornhead above the fishing and ferry port of Scrabster the Bothy offers views north across the Pentland Firth to the Orkney islands and east to Dunnett Head the most northerly point in Britain. holiday home. The Bothy is set on a 1000 acre organic sheep farm with extraordinary cliffs, gloups (blow holes) and stacks on the north coast and steeply sloping braes running down to the east. Wildlife abounds on the farm and the cliffs and stacks offer nesting sites for thousands of sea birds.
About the Owner
0 Reviews
Activity and Interests
Miles of sand are on offer. Thurso beach, a 5 minute drive away, may be small but it has a famous swell and hosts surfing championships. Dunnet has a vast expanse of sand backed by enormous dunes and Sinclair's Bay on the east coast also seems to go on forever. The shell beach near John O'Groats is your best bet for finding the elusive cowrie shells once used as local currency and at the hidden gem Murkle you will find seals, mussels, tank traps and a brilliant blue bay.
Inverness Airport is approximately a 2 hour drive from the property and cars can be hired from the Airport. Alternatively, the sleeper train from London to Inverness offers an overnight service, again with car hire available at Inverness station, or onward trains to Thurso.
Thurso is just a mile from Holbornhead at the end of the bay at the mouth of the river Thurso. The thriving fishing port of Scrabster nestles at the bottom of the braes below Holbornhead. Scrabster is also the main ferry port for the Orkney islands with two sailings a day from the impressive new ferry terminal.
Further Details:
Thurso offers all the shops and services you could need from supermarkets and bakeries to restaurants and fishing shops. The thriving fishing port of Scrabster nestles at the bottom of the braes below Holbornhead. Scrabster is also the main ferry port for the Orkney islands with two sailings a day from the impressive new ferry terminal. Scrabster has two restaurants and a pub, but you might prefer to catch your own fish on one of the sea angling boats operating from the harbour, or buy your dinner from a commercial boat. The walking and wildlife in the area is superb with puffins visiting Dunnett Head from May to July, and a seal colony in Brough Bay. Our own farm at Holbornhead is a popular walk with its vast cliffs dropping into the Pentland Firth punctured by blow holes, known locally as gloups, and the spectacular sheer-sided stack called the Clett Rock.
Caithness has some of the best trout, salmon and sea fishing in Britain. There are dozens of lochs packed with wild brown trout available to fish. Salmon run the rivers of the north coast and the Wick which runs in from the east. The Thurso is the most famous Caithness salmon river and produces consistent annual catches. You can walk down from the bothy to Scrabster lighthouse and catch a mackerel for your breakfast, catch bass from Thurso beach or even fish for shark – the British record porbeagle was caught just off Dunnet Head. There are always charter boats operating from Scrabster harbour.
The history of Caithness is written across its landscape. You do not have to leave the farm to see the outline of the Viking fort on the very end of Holbornhead a short walk from the Bothy, the remains of the World War Two military posts placed on top of Holborn Hill to watch the Pentland Firth and the disused quarry which once supplied slate to all corners of the world.

File-Sharing Service
Definition - What does File-Sharing Service mean?
A file-sharing service is a type of online service that provides, mediates and monitors the transfer of computer files.
It a third-party service that provides the entire platform for sharing files between different users on the same or different networks.
Techopedia explains File-Sharing Service

Over the weekend I discovered a new artist: the Swiss-Haitian painter and sculptor Pascale Monnin. Monnin's sculptures were what struck me most. She uses raku, a technique in which glazed clay is taken from the kiln and immediately plunged into water, creating cracks across the sculpture's surface which are then filled with smoke and soot. So her faces have turquoise veins across their delicate pale skins, and the soft curves of nose and cheek are contrasted to the forking raku lines. The faces … [Read more...]

The Martyred Crowd: "Cathedral of the August Heat, A Novel of Haiti"
This is a short, feverish, seamy, painful book from 1987 about a revolutionary upsurge among the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere. It's written by a dissident journalist exiled by the Duvaliers. It's Communist in rhetoric, and there are moments toward the end when the rhetoric and also the optimism feel really flimsy. But most of the book is given over to tales of life at the bottom: sultry dreamscapes and violent nightmares, phantasmagoric beauty and brutal suffering, … [Read more...]

Reviews of Mission Terrace Convalescent Hospital
Jeri7 July 15, 2015
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Mission Terrace is a transition from the hospital back to where you're living. It's rehab, or it could be skilled care. It's a really excellent place. It is difficult in that level of care to have more than a utilitarian room, but the overall ambience or atmosphere is elegant. They have chandeliers and a very nice dining room. They also have in-room dining. The most positive thing I can say is they have an amazingly caring skilled staff. The activities are a little limited because of the skill level of their patients. They have a really efficient physical therapy program. My mother is 95, and she has really enjoyed the physical therapy people. They have a cognitive therapy program. You could avail of a wonderful patio and family areas. It is a pretty large facility. They have a men's room, a women's room -- anywhere from one bed to three beds. Their staff does a great job. They're very nice. One of the male nurses even offered to pile my mother's fingernails.

Mom is doing really well at Mission Terrace and enjoys the activities and music performances very much. For us, the most important thing is that she is happy and comfortable and she is both thanks to the wonderful care of the staff.

Winter storm expected to hit Charlotte Tuesday
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - You might want to get outside Sunday, and soak in the sunshine and warmer temperatures, because changes are on the way.
Highs for Sunday will be close to 60 degrees.
Clouds will move in Monday and it will be cooler, with highs in the upper 40s.
There will be a slight chance for a shower Monday evening. -- anything that falls Monday will be rain in Charlotte and snow in the mountains, but not all areas will see rain.
A winter storm is expected to arrive Tuesday with snow falling throughout the day.
The only question is how much snow will fall.
Forecast models show anywhere from 2 to 4 inches with higher amounts further to the southeast.
One of the models continues to bring the storm right over Charlotte, which would mean more snow.
The positioning of the storm is critical and could be an even more significant winter event with up to 1 foot of snow, should Charlotte get a direct hit.
The models are starting to show agreement that Charlotte will have a wintry mix Wednesday, although it is too early to tell what will fall.
The winter storm will clear out Thursday.

Lost in Suburbia
It was with great fear and trepidation that I opened my eyes. I had awoken some time earlier (whether it was ten minutes or two hours it was impossible to know) to a cacophany of unpleasant sounds. There were sirens and alarms, lost amongst the confusing and oppressive din of humanity. One sound in particular stood out- the most hellish and vindictive whirrings of an automatic garage door opener.

Everything Takes Forever
This is from a couple of years ago. I've had other dreams along similar lines occasionally, but I remembered enough about this one to write it down.
I leave the house early one morning to go swimming at an indoor pool at a recreation center. Some children are there. I find an action figure in the water (a gray guy with transparent insect wings) and ask my son if it's ours. He says it's someone else's. After swimming, I'm alone again, and my friend Doug shows up. We try to find out where a chess event is happening that evening. It's at another city recreation venue. There's a stack of magazines by the information desk, but the page with the event listing has been torn out of all of the current issues. The woman at the desk is talking on a headset and can't help us. It's too late for me to go home to catch the bus, so Doug offers to give me a ride. In his car, I discover that it's later than I thought and that I'm going to be late for work. I see a clock on a large gray building, and my cell phone is a toddler's clunky yellow plastic toy phone. The phone and the clock have different times, but they're both after I need to be at work. We stop at an office where my wife works. We kneel in a doorway to a small room with some of the other people who work there for a group picture. I'm getting aggravated because I'm late for work. I need to put on some shoes, and I rummage among some boxes of my old shoes that are near an exit. I have trouble finding a match, but I find something eventually. Frustrated, I decide that Doug's the same jerk he always was, and I'll make my own way to work. He tries to make it up to me by offering to teach me "initiative." I throw a few playful punches at him and head off alone.
Fortunately, it turns out that I'm right by Eden Park, and my office is a short way across the park. I climb a hill to get there. At some point earlier, I'd gotten a forgiving voice mail message from my wife. She had apparently left an angry message before that one that I didn't hear, probably because I never came home to help with the kids after I went swimming. I have a regular phone now. On the way up the hill, I check my messages again and get a message from a remote acquaintance telling me about how she voted. It's not clear that the message is meant for me.
I go into the building through a seldom-used basement-level door and climb a staircase to the lobby level. The lobby is large and has glass walls, so there's a lot of natural light that would ordinarily create a pleasant vibe. It's busy with people coming to work, and there are some shops and tables around the lobby with new age supplies for sale. Things take a really bad turn when I suddenly don't have my pants (but I have managed to get an apron to put on for partial modesty). I ask someone passing by if he knows where I can get some pants for free, since I don't have money now, and get a rude response. A yoga class has just gotten out and the lobby is very crowded. I try to approach a table, but someone shouts "No cutting!" and I give up. There's a growing sense that I'm out of place there. I think about how I'm going to have to talk to my boss to explain why I'm late, but not having pants would make that impossible. It's the first day I'm going back to work after a one- or two-week holiday break. Since I'm dreading being back at work anyway because I feel very isolated there, I decide to call in sick when I'm back at a phone.
I go out the front exit and sit on the front steps to count my change and see if I have enough to catch the bus. The steps are broad, thin pieces of dark shale. A merchant from a shop in the lobby beside where I'm sitting comes out into the lobby shouting at me, to the effect that I need to either buy something or leave. I can't actually hear him because he's inside the doors. I get up and take my bearings from outside the building so I can figure out which way the road with the bus stop is. I see part of the river, with the sun shining beautifully on it, and know which way I need to go. A university building is near my work building, and some students are outside throwing paper airplanes of various sizes and styles with a bank logo on them, possibly as a protest action. A student asks me if I've had anything to eat, which I haven't, and says he could give me some pizza that he has inside. I think that maybe he thinks I'm a vagrant and I should explain that I have a job and a house, but the dream is over.
