MY FIRST stethoscope was a Caribbean blue Littmann Classic II (3M), bought in 2009 at a sale of a local sorority. That special day in 2009 was a milestone: me, a would-be doctor, donning my first stethoscope on my way to the Neurology Ward, where I was to have my first preceptorial with Dr. Leonor Cabral-Lim. With bated breaths, my classmates and I waited for her to arrive; save for what we had read in DeMyer, we hadn't had any idea what to expect. We were to demonstrate what we learned on the art and science of the physical examination. Yet we carried our steths—as we liked to call them—proudly, like a thick necklace. I remember trying mine out with my seatmates, the Catangui twins. I asked them to breathe deeply—ah, bronchovesicular sounds, no crackles, no wheezing. They, in turn, listened to my heart beat, alternating between a bell and a diaphragm to make sense of the S1 and S2.
Those days were special moments for me—the beginnings of what would be the bread and butter of my vocation as a physician. I have used my Littmann II since then: when I forayed into the clinical wards as a clerk, when I became an intern, when I entered pre-residency, and for much of my first year residency in Internal Medicine. I haven't paid much attention to it—familiarity does breed contempt—because it has been a part of my every day get-up, like my eyeglasses, that I almost never went out without it near my person.
Towards the second week of December, I discovered that I could no longer hear breath sounds through my steth. I was at the Pay Ward, receiving a referral for an Infectious Disease consultant, and I panicked because I was certain, so certain, that the breath sounds were absent. Was this pneumothorax? But the patient looked comfortable, as if nothing was wrong. There I saw it: a break on my stethoscope's stem; the sounds leaked through it. I figured I could make do with it if I sealed it with a tape, but the seal wouldn't last long. It was time to get a new one.
After my 24-hour ER shift, I headed to a local store, following my roommate's advice. I took the train, looked for the store he had told me to find, and thought of Everly Ramos's advice to get a Littmann Classic III (3M), olive green, with a smoke finish. She has impeccable taste. I found it—a rare piece—and bought it without fanfare. I'm so thankful for God for giving me money to buy it. Tomorrow I can go to the ER, more confident of my chest physical examination, so much so that now I can lovingly convince my friend Racquel Bruno when I tell her that the patient no longer has pneumonia.
OVER DINNER, my friends Kenneth Ong and JC Malabad told me why my first stethoscope was damaged. "It must have been in contact with your body oil, Kuya," they said. Apparently, the tubing's exposure to oil makes it stiff—precisely what happened to my steth. I quote from the Littmann website:
If you like to wear your stethoscope around your neck, wear it over a collar to keep the tubing flexible.
A few tips, reworded by yours truly, to care for one's stethoscope:
- Don't wear it during a parade; sunlight will damage it.
- Use soapy water or alcohol to clean it.
- Don't store it inside the fridge or throw it in snow.

Get Out of Debt
Most people want to get out of debt but struggle with making ends meet, let alone paying off additional debts. Millions of Americans are financially strapped. They are in fear of receiving a foreclosure notice from the bank. They are afraid they will lose their job. The wonder if they will be have to choose between putting food on the table, purchasing gas for their car or purchasing a much-needed prescription medication.
If you are attempting to get out of debt because money is stretched so tight you can barely squeeze out an extra penny, it is time to take a long, hard look at your finances. Unless you are living at poverty level, chances are you actually have more money than you realize. Millions of Americans spend thousands of dollars each year on unnecessary items they believe they simply must have. However, if you are drowning in debts, it's time to engage in some soul searching and discover what is truly important to you.

Bankruptcy Attorneys
Bankruptcy attorneys specialize in helping individuals and business owners obtain relief from debt. The new bankruptcy laws implemented in 2005 caused many bankruptcy attorneys to turn to new areas of law. Reason being the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act has made filing bankruptcy so difficult many attorneys opted out of the profession.
Bankruptcy attorneys who continued in the field are now charging considerably higher fees. BAPCPA requires considerable documentation, administration of the 'means' test to determine clients' eligibility, and strict deadlines to adhere to. The process is complex, time-consuming and requires considerably more man-hours.

Debts have reached epidemic proportions and the U.S. economy is on the verge of collapse. Not only are corporations failing at unprecedented rates, American consumers have accrued more than $2 trillion in creditor debts. This figure does not account for the billions due in outstanding mortgage debts.
Experts claim the average American carries $20,000 in outstanding debts. Today, it is common practice for consumers to use credit cards to pay for daily living expenses including gas, utilities, food and clothing. With the current economic chaos, experts predict credit card companies will soon begin reducing credit limits. If this occurs, Americans who use plastic to pay for living expenses will be unable to meet their monthly financial obligations.

The guide is impartial and unbiased as there are no hotel or restaurant advertisers in it.

A/N: Well, there is more to be written on the Harry Potter fic, and I have actually written it, I'm just in too lethargic a mood to write 10,000 or so words onto my computer. So, I was sitting here, googling the New Moon movie, and this literally struck me like, I don't know, a really good right hook. It explains very much my absolutely ridiculous feelings for Emmett Cullen, who is pretty much my embodiment of perfection. If i could be, I would be this story's protagonist. Unfortunately, I'm not. I just wish. Just to let you know, Rosalie Hale does not exist in this story, I always begrudge her very existence, but in MY story, she has never been there, and she never will. Hehe, Emmett is all mine now. Also, this is sort of a taster chapter I suppose, I may continue it just in my head, for my own pleasure, or, if enough people like, I'll write some more. So let me know, please?
Disclaimer: If Emmett were mine, I would not be sitting here writing this, most definitely.
Whoa. That was my first thought. My second thought was, dropping knives on your toes can sometimes be a good thing.
"So, Miss Taylor, it was a paring knife you dropped on your foot, am I correct?" Dr. Cullen, without a doubt the yummiest physician in the world, asked me.
"Uh, I think, perhaps, yeah, maybe, hmm." Not the most eloquent sentence that I'd ever muttered, I must admit, but if you'd been there, you'd understand.
Dr. Cullen smiled at me kindly, and touched my foot gently. It bloody hurt.
"Ouch" I winced, and the 'I'm a brave person facade' I'd been putting on melted.
"You'll need stitches, and to keep the weight off your foot for a little while, I'm afraid. May I enquire as to how your toes almost came to be severed by a knife?"
Embarrassing story alert. "Uh, well, I was using it, and then the radio made me jump, and the knife landed blade down, on my foot."
Yes, the radio made me jump, that was it. Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'd just received a text from Alex Phillips, asking if I wanted to go out for coffee sometime, and jumped up and down squealing like a hysterical teenager. Nothing at all.
Dr. Cullen smiled again (Alex who? Why the hell would I ever want to look at another male face ever again when this guy was my doctor?) and I blushed.
The curtain around my cubicle was pulled back quite abruptly and my heart near enough stopped. Actually, yes, my heart stopped for at least three whole seconds. I scratch the preceding statement about never wanting to see another male face ever again. Dr. Cullen was angelic, no doubt about it, but, he, he, words just couldn't describe.
The dark haired boy's face screwed up, as if in physical pain. I thought maybe he was just squeamish, didn't like the sight of blood, and when he looked into my eyes all the blood in my body rushed to my face, and the pained expression was heightened.
So that was the boy's name. Emmett. It fitted him perfectly. I wished Dr. Cullen would go and tend to some other poor person's needs and leave me with Emmett. Or, on second thoughts, I wished that the world would just end now, whilst I was living this perfect bliss.
"Emmett?" Dr. Cullen repeated. "Did you want something?"
"Er, yeah, Carlisle, I was just...never mind." Emmett's voice had the same American accent that Carlisle's did. I imagined them to be brothers.
"Miss Taylor, I'll be back in a little while to check up on that foot. You just stay put, you'll be out of here in no time"
"Okay, doctor." Pathetically shaky voice, but who could blame me when the two most beautiful people on the entire planet, in the entire universe, were standing at the end of my hospital bed.
"Emmett, come along, Miss Taylor doesn't need a bodyguard" Dr. Cullen said, since he'd turned to leave, but Emmett had stayed stock still.
"What's Miss Taylor's name?" Emmett asked, his low voice sending actual shivers down my spine. It was almost a growl practically. Whatever it was, it was sexy as hell.
I think I'd actually forgotten how to speak, because he was speaking to me.
Dr. Cullen gestured towards the board above my bed, the one with my name on. "It's Katherine, isn't it Miss Taylor?"
A gurgling sort of noise was emitted from my throat, my attempt to tell these beautiful people that nobody but my grandmother called me Katherine, it was Kate.
My breathing became laboured again as I realised that Emmett was having just as hard a time dragging his eyes away from me, as I was from him. I couldn't see why. Inexplicably beautiful person vs. Ordinary, sort of plain looking English girl. No competition.
It actually hurt when he turned away, to follow Dr. Cullen, and the pain compelled me to speak.
The random disembodied word was enough to make him turn back around.
"Sorry?" he asked, "What did you say?"
He was talking directly again to me, and it was too much for me. So much that the disembodied comment stayed that way.
"Oh." His eyes lit up as he made the connection. "Not Katherine, Kate, right?"
I nodded, and it seemed to take up all the energy that I had in my body, despite the fact that all that hurt was my foot.
"See you around, Kate"
I hoped, really hoped that he meant that. In fact, I hoped so much that I was pretty much willing to drop another knife on my other foot in order to stay in this place a little bit longer.
A different voice, not Emmett's. Smoother, softer. Attractive, just not as attractive.
"What's up, Edward?"
What the hell? Where were all these stunning people materialising from? The newcomer, this Edward, ignored Emmett's question, and smiled at me, "Believe me, I wouldn't. At least, no more knives. No more blood. I'd try a compound fracture, that'll keep you in here for a while"
"I don't know what you're talking about?" I huffed, irritated by the fact that Emmett's attention had now turned to this bronze haired beauty, and away from me. And also because it must have been so obvious in my face what I wanted to do. Edward smiled knowingly, and took Emmett by the arm.
"Goodbye, Kate" Edward said, and I really, truly wanted to rip his heart from his chest for taking Emmett away from me.
I lay back a little, and blocked out all the sounds that I could, in order to try and hear the ensuing conversation between Emmett and Edward. But, try as I might, and even with my fairly good hearing, the only word I caught was my name.
I'd been 'in love' before. There was Liam Carter, when I was in nursery school, and probably a new one every year, up to Alex Phillips. But this wasn't love. This was Fate, Destiny, Unavoidable, all those big words that need capitalizing and aren't down to human choice, but some gravity in the universe, that is beyond control.

Caleton Beach is a small beach frequented mainly by locals on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Because few tourists are aware of the beach, it can be deserted at times, which makes it a great place to visit if you want to escape the crowded resort beaches.
Set in the Eastern side of the Dominican Republic, Caleton Beach is on the North coast of Hispaniola. You should consider dropping by even if you aren't staying particularly close by. Caleton Beach is a distinguishable relaxation spot because it's one of the best spots for getting away from vacation stresses, like overly crowded restaurants and attractions. Many of the other beaches in the Dominican Republic may be just as breezy and refreshing, but tend to be busier since they're found in the most popular parts of town.
As part of a larger bay, Caleton Beach curves slightly into the shore. The sand is dark tan and the waters are deep blue and calm. To the right of the bay is a collection of rocks formed into busts of several human heads.
Unfortunately, public restrooms aren't available, so if you're visiting with small children you might want to consider a different location.
If you like beach days that bring guests an idyllic haven, then think about trying out Caleton Beach; it is located within a more rural area of Hispaniola.
Visitors will find this beach on the North coast of Hispaniola. Guests might consider staying at the Hotel Bahia Blanca, that can be found only a short distance away. Some guests will want to walk here, while others will choose to take a cab out to this property, perhaps the most conveniently located lodging option reachable from Caleton Beach, despite the lack of additional popular spots you can reach quickly.
The closest town is Rio San Juan, which is an area with plenty to do, but yet isn't overcrowded. From Caleton Beach, Rio San Juan is not far away, roughly one and a quarter miles (two kilometers).
The number of other vacationers sharing this coastline can vary widely, it depends mainly on when you visit, and how many of the nearby hotel rooms have been booked. There aren't many major hotels in the immediate vicinity, but it can attract guests staying at smaller lodgings in the area.
If the heat at the beach has you craving a cool cocktail and a bite to eat, there are lots of nearby options when it comes to dining. One of the closest places to eat is Cafe de Paris. The restaurant serves both French and Italian dishes on the menu. They are also famous for their seafood.
The following table provides a list of nearby restaurant options.

Visitors in search of the perfect beach will have lots of choices besides Caleton Beach.
You may also want to consider Rogelio Beach, which is located not a great distance away, meaning a quick cab ride is an easy option.
The Dominican Republic offers endless ways to discover its natural beauty, and Caleton Beach is just one of many incredible attractions you can choose from.

Smart metering is coming of age. Is the utility world ready for it?
When Chris Hickman left Public Service of New Mexico (PNM) in 2004, he took his practical sense along with him.
Hickman managed PNM's capital-expense budget and led the company's T&D automation projects. During his 15-year tenure, Hickman learned firsthand how complex and difficult it can be for a utility to make big changes—technical or otherwise. As such, he understands the industry's reluctance to jump on the latest technology bandwagon.
"Our industry has done the same thing for 100 years," says Hickman, now executive vice president for regulatory affairs and business solutions at CellNet Technology in Colorado Springs, Colo. "That's because it worked very well. The U.S. utility grid was the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century."
The 20th century is over, however, and Hickman is not the type of guy who is happy to rest on the laurels of yesterday. He expects more, and that leads him to ask tough questions, such as: "How can it be that most utilities cannot tell if your power is out?"
The answer to this question has driven Hickman—and a growing cadre of others in business and public-policy circles—to devote themselves to advancing smart metering as a vital step toward a bigger and more important goal: the intelligent grid.
"Smart meters are the enabling technology for a huge, revolutionary step forward for our industry," Hickman says. "It will change the way we do everything."
An intelligent grid would allow T&D operators to analyze orders of magnitude more data about operational conditions and load-patterns, and give them system control on a granular scale. It is a very powerful idea for the industry, with tantalizing potential benefits in load management, system engineering, marketing and other areas—some yet to be imagined.
This vision is taking clearer shape, as time-based rate programs become regulatory policy in many jurisdictions, including some U.S. states (see Table 1, "Smart Meters Proliferating"). In an ongoing series of policy proceedings, Hickman and other smart-metering champions are working to move the rest of the United States toward the same vision, one state at a time.
The term "transformation" has entered the pantheon of meaningless buzzwords, alongside words like "paradigm shift" and "optimization." Nevertheless, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and dynamic-pricing programs promise to transform today's utility industry into a somewhat different business—one that understands its customers' usage much better, and can provide service more efficiently, reliably, and securely.
"A decade ago, customer service was not high on utilities' priority list," Hickman says. "That has changed. And with a constrained grid and rising fuel costs, people are beginning to realize the incremental benefits of a smart grid."
An actual transformation might occur because two-way communications and standard-metering devices, collecting data on a real-time basis, would explode the amount of network information utilities can access. With built-in control systems, they also multiply the grid operator's ability to manage loads and control power flows. The operational possibilities are almost endless, from improvements in peak shaving and customer service to reliability management and critical-infrastructure protection.
Whether the intelligent grid would cause a business transformation or not, smart metering and time-based pricing offer benefits the industry cannot ignore—for many reasons, not the least of which is the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT). Section 1252 obliges utilities and state regulators to consider adopting EPAct policies that require time-based rates and smart meters for all customers who request them.
Given the voluntary nature of the mandate, however, utility decision makers can approach their analysis in any way they choose. Some states, including Illinois, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas, have been considering smart-metering questions as part of rate cases and resource-planning discussions. The Pennsylvania PUC, for example, conducted a hearing on June 22 to discuss policies that would mitigate electricity price increases in the state, and time-of-use rates and demand-response metering featured prominently on the agenda. Other states, such as Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, and Virginia, have initiated EPACT Section 1252 inquiries separately from other proceedings.
Accordingly, the tenor of the discussion also varies from state to state, with high-cost power states generally more attracted to AMI than low-cost states are.
"Almost every state is looking at the substantive issues in a different way, which is an exciting challenge," says Scott DeBroff, chair of the energy practice group at Smigel, Anderson & Saks in Harrisburg, Pa., and formerly an attorney with the Pennsylvania PUC. "This discussion takes the 100 year-old utility and the 60 year-old regulatory process and smacks it right up against the future of technology. It's similar to the beginning of customer choice. You have the same dynamic, with the ability to separate out the generation component and offer choice."
Likewise, regulators and utilities understandably are skeptical about the promises of transformational change that seem to accompany discussions about advanced metering and the intelligent grid.
"Some see [EPACT Section 1252] as another unfunded mandate from the federal government," says Michael Valocchi, a senior managing director with FTI Consulting in Philadelphia. "Skepticism around smart metering and demand response has developed over a number of decades, and it won't be overcome in 12 or 18 months just because the federal government told states they need to look at it."
After all, the idea of dynamic pricing is nothing new; Congress first asked utilities and regulators to examine time-of-use rates as part of the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), and many utilities have provided such rate programs for large commercial and industrial customers for years or even decades. Utility decision makers generally understand the benefits of time-based rates and metering. They just question whether those benefits are sufficient to justify investing billions of dollars so they can meter energy on 15-minute intervals for every house, condo and Starbucks.
"The jury is still out on the efficiency gains that voluntary time-based rate structures can provide, especially for residential customers," states a recent report commissioned by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI). "While it is difficult for economists not to believe that better pricing of electricity can benefit society, it seems unlikely that voluntary time-based rate structures can fully realize those benefits." (Responding to EPACT 2005: Looking at Smart Meters for Electricity, Time-Based Rate Structures and Net Metering, NERA Inc., May 2006).
Selling Smart
The growth of smart metering might depend more on political factors than it does on the technology itself.
For example, most utilities' time-of-use rate programs thus far have been offered to customers on a strictly voluntary basis. And EPACT Section 1252 only requires smart metering for those customers that request it; nowhere does it suggest utilities require customers to accept time-of-use rates. Yet engineers and policymakers agree that extracting the true benefits of smart-metering and time-of-use rates requires large-scale adoption.
"One of AMI's most important premises is that you collect interval data on substantially 100 percent of your customers," says Kevin Cornish, DCSI Inc.'s project manager in charge of the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) smart-metering initiative. "There are differences of opinion on the level of granularity you need, but in general the market is settling on hourly interval data for the mass market, and 15-minute intervals for mid-sized and larger commercial customers."
Additionally, some time-of-use rate structures might prove ineffective because they do not reflect the real cost of power in the market. Few demand-response programs directly are tied to real-time market prices, and some utilities, such as Nevada Power, go so far as to guarantee time-of-use subscribers will pay no more for their monthly energy usage than they would under standard rates.
"At the present time, because of price caps and rate protocols, prices don't rise high enough to provide adequate signals," says Paul Joskow, professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and director of MIT's Center for Energy & Environmental Policy Research. "It's always a good idea to provide consumers with better price signals, so they can increase or decrease consumption accordingly. But if you give consumers prices that are wrong or too low, they won't react to those prices. Until you integrate the system-operation protocols with prices and demand-response systems, you won't get the incentives you need."
The implications go beyond efficiency and customer service, and into areas affecting grid reliability and security. A key selling point of the intelligent grid is the control it gives to system operators, who need the ability to call upon demand-response resources in an emergency, for example. But without broad deployment and transparent price signals, smart metering won't give system operators the tools they need to predict and manage power loads.
As a result, smart metering suffers from a classic chicken-and-egg problem. Until smart meters and time-of-use rates are adopted by virtually all customers within a utility's territory, they cannot deliver on the promise of greater resource efficiency and network control—to say nothing of business transformation. And until utilities and regulators are convinced smart metering will deliver on its promises, they will not invest in broad AMI deployments.
To overcome this dilemma, metering vendors and consultants are working to clarify the business case for smart metering. For example, member companies in the AMI/MDM Working Group recently commissioned McKinsey & Co. to develop a model business case for utility decision makers to use as a starting point in their cost-benefit analyses. And in July, the Demand Response and Advanced Metering (DRAM) Coalition hosted a Web-based seminar that examined the business rationale for smart metering. But whether such efforts prove convincing will depend on utilities' and regulators' disposition toward the assumptions in the economic calculus.
"If you run the numbers and include things that may not be, strictly speaking, quantifiable, it is generally a positive business case," says Rick Nicholson, vice president of research for consulting firm IDC Energy Insights in Framingham, Mass, "But there is a lot of uncertainty about how it will get treated by regulators."
Managing Demand
The way regulators add up the costs and provide rate recovery largely will determine how utilities and their shareholders perceive AMI investments. A public utility commission might easily justify rate-basing capital costs for new metering hardware, but less certain is how a utility should bear the costs of retooling its internal processes to pursue the smart-grid vision, as well as marketing the new program and educating customers to ensure maximum benefits continue flowing.
"If the utility's costs outweigh the benefits, why should they do it?" asks Dean Maschoff, a managing director with Navigant Consulting in Chicago. "That's where the regulator has to come in—to consider the big picture and find the middle ground with rate recovery that makes sense."
Both utilities and regulators are uncertain about how AMI costs should be recovered. The California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) recently approved PG&E's proposal to rate-base $1.4 billion in AMI investment, plus nearly $400 million more in rate recovery for business risk, marketing and other expenses. In Texas, however, TXU told the state PUC that it would prefer AMI costs to be hived off in a separate surcharge. "The costs should not be shifted to base rates," TXU stated in its response to the PUC's AMI inquiry. "Having all such costs be recovered through the surcharge will make it easier to track the recovery of advanced metering costs as compared to other metering costs that will still be incurred."
In the public-policy calculus, regulators also must consider the fairness of allowing utilities to rate-base the costs of programs that will not benefit all stakeholders equally. "They are concerned about the distributional impacts," Joskow says. "If they make major changes in rate design, how will it affect customers with different levels of consumption and income, and how will it affect various commercial and industrial customers?"
These economic and political dimensions complicate the effort for regulators, and make it difficult for them to confidently define the importance of AMI investments in the broader energy policy context.
"I think regulators have the toughest job in the world," Hickman says. "As an industry, we have done a pretty poor job of communicating with regulators. We have not given them the information they need to understand how critical of a component this is. AMI is not an end state, but an enabler."

... has a gigography at: http://www.cure-concerts.de/
The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member.
Their debut single "Killing an Arab" (1978) and debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979) were important records in the development of the post-punk and new wave movements that developed in the wake of the punk rock scene in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music was a staple of the emerging style of music known as gothic rock.
Following the release of the album Pornography in 1982, the band's future was uncertain. Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired, introducing a greater pop sensibility into the band's music. Songs such as "Let's Go to Bed" (1982), "Just Like Heaven" (1987), "Lovesong" (1989) and "Friday I'm in Love" (1992) aided the band in receiving commercial popularity. The band is estimated to have sold roughly 27 million records as of 2004 and have released thirteen studio albums, ten EPs and over thirty singles to date.

We had Tony at our daughter's birthday party. What a performer. the tricks even left the adults spellbound. ...
Tony was fantastic and kept a large group of six year olds completely engaged.
Thank you Tony for a truly magical party! Adults and kids both had a blast!
Tony performed his magic show for our son's 7th birthday last week and we were blown away. We have never heard so much laughter from the kids (and parents) at a party before and the magic was really impressive. Easily the best entertainer I have seen at any kids party. Would definitely recommend.
Wow- what a show! My 8year old son had the privilege of Tony performing for him & 15 of his mates for his birthday party. Tony far exceeded our expectations. I highly, highly recommend him. He was truly magical!
There are many areas you need to consider when planning a party, and almost every area feeds into the entertainment you choose.

If going to Nigeria for meetings there are a few practical issues you really need to take into consideration.
Firstly make sure that you will be met at the airport by somebody you know or a representative of the company you are visiting. Personal safety is a real issue in Nigeria so don't be tempted to go off on your own — no matter how seasoned a traveller you might be.
Secondly, meetings can be difficult to arrange by phone whilst in Nigeria due to the unreliability of the inherent infrastructure. Local appointments are best made by appearing in person or through the use of hand-delivered notes. (For this reason, take a supply of company-headed stationery with you on all visits.)
Nigeria is definitely a country in which relationships are all-important and so meetings will often start and finish with a great deal of social interaction. Do not try to rush these conversations as they are vital parts of the getting-to-know-you process.
Do not expect meetings to start on time – they may do, but you cannot count on it. It is best to arrive on time yourself but be prepared to wait. Patience is necessary in many business dealings in the country.
Written and Produced by Keith Warburton
This country profile has been produced to give a short overview of some of the key concepts to bear in mind when doing business with contacts in Nigeria. It is intended to be an aid to business people who have commercial dealings with counterparties in the country but should not be seen as an exhaustive guide to this topic or as a substitute for more substantial research should there be a need.
With this in mind, we have covered the areas which are key to a better understanding of the cultural mindset underpinning business dealings in Nigeria and which are, quite often, extremely different from the approach and thought processes associated with business in other parts of the world.
Therefore this briefing note is broken into short, bite-sized sections on the following topics:

The digital economy delivers. It lowers costs and barriers to markets, as well as providing access to an unprecedented number of customers (both business and consumer). The traditional routes to markets have eroded. Smart companies, notably web savvy businesses, have created and leveraged technologies to grow their online global sales, brands and businesses.
In any given "home market" there is a truism that the vast majority of your potential clients are located in, by definition, outside in those global markets. Sow the two together, online and global, and you have the driver that ensures B2B and B2C online global retail will represent >$10 trillion of transactions by 2020. And the #1 beneficiaries of the digital economy are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). If you are a decision maker in an SME, please do read on, think through the sales opportunities and the potential value to your brand and business.Read More

Travelling tips from Bangalore to Wayanad
Very Good JourneyNov 8, 2016
This is a very nice trip we had. We went by our own car. W started early in the morning around 7 am and it will take 6 - 7 hours to reach Wayanad. We chose the option to go through kanakapura road I. E. NH 948 and reached Mysore from there we took the SH 33 to continue to Kartikullam tholpetty road to reach Kerala. The entire stretch was awesome. Road was very good and we enjoyed the journey.

Sleeper if travelling with eldersOct 25, 2016
We booked AC sleeper at manish Tours boarding at Anand rao circle at 10 45 pm. It reached Kalpetta by 5 30 morning.
Bus was very clean and neat, however due to ghat road the quality of sleep was poor. There is only one AC sleeper and since we were travelling with parents and two kids we preferred via this bus. It also has sitting seats available.

- Sleeper
- This bus has:
- Blanket

Beautiful roads offering excellent viewsAug 4, 2016
Though the bus departed late the irritant was removed once we crossed Mysore. The bus enters what promises to be a wonderful journey through thick and verdant forests. You become one amongst the winding roads and forest. Nature at its best. The staff made up for the delay and were very courteous. Would certainly recommend the bus.

A pleasant journeyMay 27, 2016
It was very comfortable, we really enjoyed our journey. Reached Wayanad early morning - in time and really enjoyed our journey and stay in Wayanad. KSRTC Airavat is the best preference to travel and served with water and blanket.
Really worth to visit.

Relaxed trip and a nice driveApr 15, 2016
We left real early at 5:30 am to beat the city traffic on Ugadi day via Mysore Highway. We reached Mysore by 8 am had breakfast and carried on via Gundlupet to Sulthan Bathery via Muthanga forest. We got to spot a lot of elephants in Muthanga. The journey was really nice and green, esp on entering Mutunga and onwards. Traffic from Sulthan Bathery to Kalpetta was pretty heavy but route was very good. Road conditions by and large, good except nearabouts Nanjangud.

I am live blogging here right now. Debate is over the proposed legislation to repeal the death penalty in New Mexico. You will probably not be surprised at which side I'm taking.
Update: The bill passed 24-18, with a lot of debate that didn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. If the lower house passes it (which I'm sure it will) it goes to Gov. Bill Richardson, who has been a supporter of the death penalty but has indicated recently that his support has softened, and he might sign the bill. He has not yet made up his mind.

There have been numerous
restoration efforts at Sotterley Plantation over its
300 year existence. Many of these were conducted by
past owners of the property such as
and Louisa Satterlee in the early 20th century.
These efforts have all ensured that Sotterley still
stands today and that its rich history and stories
can continue to be interpreted for future
generations. The work carried out over the past
centuries is now continued by Historic Sotterley,
and Future Efforts
Following the death of
Sotterley's last owner in 1993, the site faced
enormous financial and preservation challenges. With
few resources and many structures that would soon
face irreparable deterioration, The National Trust
for Historic Preservation focused its attention on
Sotterley Plantation in 1996, naming it as one of
the 11 Most Endangered Homes in America. This
recognition helped Sotterley obtain critically
needed funding, including Save America's Treasures
grants, State of Maryland Bond Bills, and other
grant and private funding. A Preservation Plan was
created, and following this plan, the Plantation
House was stabilized and systems put in that would
help preserve and protect it.
The Barn at Sotterley was
restored in 2004. In order to help meet the
institution's need for a building in which to host
larger educational and cultural events, a concrete
floor, restrooms, enhanced electrical system, and
prep kitchen were added. Retaining its unique charm,
this space is now host to many
rentals and
educational programs such as the
Speaker Series.
1830's Slave Cabin has undergone critical
restoration in both 1989 and in 2009, and the
interior and exterior walls, roof, chimney, and
fireplace all received critical stabilization work.
This rare structure is vitally important to
Sotterley's interpretation efforts, and central to
many of its education programs including Slavery to
Freedom and To Live Enslaved.
Many other buildings have
received various levels restoration in the past 20
years. This work included replacing cedar shingle
roofs on buildings such as the Ice House,
Smokehouse, Necessary, Tool Shed, Corn Crib, and
Warehouse, and replacing asphalt roofs on buildings
such as the Turkey Shed, Wood Shed, Creamery, and
Archaeology Shed.
In 2011, however, Hurricane
Irene swept through Southern Maryland, and the
devastation it left behind at Sotterley Plantation
was heart-wrenching. Sotterley lost over 170 trees
(and almost just as many within its nature trails)
and its landscape was ripped apart. The site also
sustained damage to its Plantation House,
Smokehouse, Spinning Cottage, Barn, Office, Visitor
Center, Gardener's Cottage, and Grape Arbor. Most of
the restoration efforts have now been completed on
Sotterley's buildings, but work will continue for
years to come to restore the Sotterley's landscape
to its former beauty.
There are still so many
restoration needs at Sotterley. The Plantation House
has many rooms that have yet to be restored on the
first floor, and all of the second floor rooms
require restoration as well. Numerous outbuildings,
while stabilized by the replacement of aging roofs
in the last few years, still require a great deal of
restoration work on the rest of the structures and
on the interiors. And the landscape at Sotterley,
left ravaged by Hurricane Irene, still requires a
great deal of work and new plantings to fully
realize healing.
a Project
How can YOU make a difference?
Many donors and businesses have chosen to adopt a
project. Due to their generosity and philanthropy,
rooms have been restored in the Plantation House,
buildings have been painted, restrooms have been
repaired, roofs have been replaced, porches have
been restored, aging shutters repaired, and so much
more. One project at a time, Sotterley's history has
been preserved, and you too can be a part of
Sotterley's ongoing restoration efforts.
can be made with both direct funding and in-kind
gifts, and all donations help to achieve success.

I am someone who is inspired by ingredients. And during my recent visit to the farmers market, I couldn't help but want to take home some tomatillos. These green tomato-like fruits with a paper-y husk are often featured in Southwestern and Mexican cuisine.
With cilantro and some chili peppers, tomatillos make a great salsa. Instead of the usual corn chips, I thought it would be fun to feature in a quinoa salad with corn and zucchini. I was surprised by how great this recipe turned out. And also how easy it was! If you have leftover quinoa, it can be made in under 15 minutes!
Serve by itself or over a bed of spinach or arugula. Pairs well with grilled fish.
Tomatillo Salsa
(recipe from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone)
8 ounces tomatillos, husks removed
5 sprigs cilantro
2 serrano or mild chili peppers
1/2 small white onion, sliced
Place tomatillos in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until they are dull green, about 10 minutes. Drain. Puree in a blender or food processor with the chiles, onion, cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Chill before serving.
Quinoa Salad with Corn and Zucchini
1.5 cups quinoa
3 cups water
1 corn, kernels removed
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
To make quinoa, place in heavy pot with water. Bring to boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until quinoa is finished.
In a medium sized skillet, saute corn and zucchini in olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until done. Add to cooked quinoa.
Serve with tomatillo salsa. Enjoy!
