First Solar's advanced thin-film PV modules generate electricity with no emissions, waste or water use and its systems have the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology. Each module is approximately 4 feet by 2 feet and weighs 27.5 pounds.
Electricity generated by the Topaz project will displace approximately 377,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year — the equivalent of taking approximately 73,000 cars off the road. First Solar's pre-funded collection and recycling program provides a responsible end of life for the PV panels. More than 90 percent of the material is re-used.

A Predator That Preys on Hawks?
They were an emblem of American optimism in the Eisenhower era. The cover of Life magazine for Apr. 8, 1957, featured "The Flying Blue Brothers," two blond, crew-cut Coloradans, fresh from their Yale University dorm rooms, piloting a Piper Tri-Pacer alone over the Andes. For nine pages inside, the brothers--Neal, 21, and Linden, 20--are seen cavorting with headhunters in the Amazon, trying to right their crashed plane on a mountain ice shelf, and later, lounging on Ipanema Beach with a comely brunette. The world, it seemed, was filled with possibilities. And for the Blue brothers, indeed it was.
Nearly a half-century later, the entrepreneurial duo have made their fortune in real estate and energy. The brothers, who briefly ran a cocoa-and-banana plantation in Nicaragua with the family of former President Anastasio Somoza, now have an empire that includes natural-gas wells in Canada, a streetcar manufacturer in Germany, and hundreds of acres of ranchland outside the resort town of Telluride, Colo. In 1986, the Blues added General Atomics, a nuclear-power research company, which they bought from Chevron for $50 million. Neal Blue, 67, is chairman and CEO. Linden, 66, is vice-chairman.
But it is another of the Blue brothers' businesses that is making headlines. General Atomics also makes the Predator unmanned spy plane. Like the P-51 Mustang in World War II or the Stealth Fighter in the Persian Gulf War, the Predator has come to epitomize American ingenuity in battle. The Predator played a key reconnaissance and attack role in Afghanistan and last November was used to kill al Qaeda operatives in Yemen. And it would probably be an important weapon in a war against Iraq, helping to hunt down and destroy Saddam Hussein's Scud missile launchers.
The Predator could also be a major headache for Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC ) The nation's No. 2 defense company makes the more technologically advanced and far more expensive Global Hawk drone. The U.S. Air Force is committed to buying both planes. But the Predator's capabilities are expanding, while Congress has raised questions about the Global Hawk's spiraling price tag. At $35 million, it is almost eight times as much as the Predator's. The development of the smaller, cheaper plane shows how even in an age of $300 billion Pentagon budgets, nimble entrepreneurs can shake up the Establishment.
The military has pursued unmanned aerial vehicles since the Civil War, when both sides floated bomb-laden balloons toward each other. During the Vietnam War, drones were deployed for reconnaissance, but it was often difficult to recover data. Subsequent models were derailed by other technical difficulties. But Neal Blue, the brother who concentrates on General Atomics' aerospace business, believed that could change with computers, digital data storage, and global positioning satellites. "For 4,000 years, people have been trying to figure out how to hit the target," says Blue. "I saw the potential for a big leap in technology."
Blue had the money to back up that belief--and a keen sense of how to spend it wisely. Frederick W. Hill, Neal Blue's partner in buying his Canadian oil and gas assets, recalls a time in the mid-1980s when managers were suggesting a big hike in the company's drilling budget, based on projections of $30-a-barrel oil prices. Blue told the group to go back and recalculate the numbers based on $12 a barrel. The budget was not increased, and the price of oil later plunged to $10. "That would have put us under," Hill recalls. "Neal's very good at long-range thinking."
His interest in drones accelerated in 1987 when he hired Thomas J. Cassidy Jr., a former Navy rear admiral, to pursue advanced technology projects. Some four years years later, they swooped in and purchased Leading Systems Inc., a floundering drone business. In 1993, when the Defense Dept. put out a call for new unmanned aircraft, Blue and Cassidy quickly turned a Leading Systems prototype, the Gnat 750, into the Predator. Cassidy stuck to off-the-shelf parts, using cameras made for traffic helicopters and a Bombardier engine originally designed for snowmobiles. Giving the Predator a propeller instead of jets was not only cheaper but allowed it to remain nearly stationary while aloft. A Predator can linger for a full day at 25,000 feet while it records and relays data. "One of the reasons we've been successful is we try to avoid science projects," Cassidy says. "We don't want never-ending research and development efforts."
Cassidy knew from his days flying fighters in Vietnam that a drone would be easier to sell to the Air Force if it included a role for pilots. So from takeoff to landing, the Predator can be steered with a joystick by a pilot sitting in a trailer hundreds of miles away, a solution that was also relatively cheap. The first contract was awarded in January, 1994, just two months after Washington put out the call. The rollout took place under a new Pentagon initiative aimed at speeding up weapons procurement. The Predator saw combat in the Balkans 17 months later--record time in a business where weapons can take decades to develop.
General Atomics has built 82 Predators to date, cranking out two a month in a suburban San Diego office park. They are assembled out of honeycombed paper, graphite, and other materials layered and baked together in a special oven. Without spy gear and weapons, each plane weighs a mere 1,130 pounds--40% as much as a Volkswagen Beetle. "It's like a California speed shop where they hand-build hot rods," says Glenn Buchan, an analyst at Rand, a Santa Monica (Calif.) defense think tank. Nearly a third of the planes have crashed or been shot down--a loss rate that is palatable because Predators cost only $4.5 million each and are unmanned. Air Force officials say they plan to buy about 70 more. "We lost one two weeks ago, and it was on page six of The Washington Post," says Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Boone, deputy secretary for acquisitions at the Air Force. "If that had been a [manned] F-16, it would have been page one."
The Predator began as a spy plane. But when General John P. Jumper, now Air Force chief of staff, noted the frustration of locating targets but being unable to hit them in the Balkans, Predators were adapted to carry missiles. A follow-on version, Predator B, is in the works: It's bigger, faster, and carries more weapons and spy gear at greater altitudes. The company developed Predator B with no Pentagon funding. In December, Washington ordered two of them at $7.8 million each. Says Neal Blue: "We don't have committees. We tell people, `Don't wait for someone else to be sold on your project."'
Pentagon officials, meanwhile, insist that they need more than one type of drone. One of them is Northrop's Global Hawk, which is also unmanned but flies at much higher altitudes--up to 65,000 ft., vs. 25,000 ft. for the Predator--takes off from farther away, and can carry more sophisticated surveillance gear. Robert Mitchell, head of the Global Hawk program at Northrop, scoffs at the idea that the Predator is competition. "Isn't that a paper airplane?" he jokes. "We don't see many of those at our altitude." Since Northrop bought the Global Hawk's maker, Ryan Aeronautical Systems, in 1999, it has built seven of the planes, three of which have since crashed.
The Air Force says it wants 51 Global Hawks, but it won't be easy to get them. For one thing, the per-plane price has skyrocketed nearly fourfold as the Air Force has sought upgrades for the latest radar, cameras, and listening devices. The upgrades required stronger engines, greater electrical capacity, and even a new wing design. The Air Force has proposed scaling back the technology on some planes to cut the cost. But some military strategists think the Pentagon might scrap the Global Hawk in favor of a newer, harder-to-hit plane. In the meantime, says Loren B. Thompson, an analyst at the Lexington Institute think tank: "The business potential for Global Hawk is not yet clear. The Predator's market and limitations are understood."
Indeed, the Predator's market is robust and growing. Privately held General Atomics says its revenue from the drone business totals about $150 million annually. Neal Blue won't divulge profits but insists that the Predator is making money. In fact, industry sources say other contractors are buzzing around General Atomics with buyout offers. Forget it, says Blue. "This is fun the way it is," he insists, still sounding like the kid who once flew over the Andes with his little brother, facing a world of possibilities.

China will be seen as an economic opportunity rather than a potential military adversary in an upcoming Abbott government defence white paper, Defence Minister
In an interview with The Australian Financial Review, Senator Johnston signalled there would be no going back to the central tenet of
The Coalition has promised to release a 20-year vision for defence – including a long-term plan to return spending to 2 per cent gross domestic product over the decade within 18 months of coming to government.
The paper will supersede Labor's 2013 white paper released by former prime minister
"We [the Coalition] obviously prefer a balanced approach [to the US and China], [Foreign Minister]
"We don't subscribe to the concept that you must choose between the US and China," Senator Johnston said. "We see that there is a balance between our relationship with China and sustaining our strong alliance with the United States.
"I think the United States is actually coming to that view increasingly over time.''
Increased economic interdependency
Senator Johnston said billions of dollars in US investment in Australia's energy and resources sector was a massive boon to China's economy involving such companies as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Apache.
"In terms of economic success, the United States and Australia have a lot of skin in the game [with China],'' he said.
Senator Johnston said he subscribed to a similar view as recent former US ambassador to Australia
Senator Johnston has flagged Australia taking a strong stand on cyber security given revelations last year that a nondescript People's Liberation Army building in Shanghai was the source of cyber attacks on US and Australian firms.
Before his departure from Australia, Mr Bleich said he believed the US was more afraid of China failing than succeeding and that Beijing felt the same about Washington.
"I think he's spot on,'' Senator Johnston said.
Rivalry more overt, says expert
But defence analyst
"The strategic rivalry between the US and China is much more overt now and is only likely to intensify,'' Professor White said.
"Canberra now faces more pressure from both sides, which gives [Prime Minister]
This year's Lowy Institute of International Affairs global attitudes survey may be at odds with a more benign white paper outlook.
It showed a growing percentage of Australians (41 per cent) believe China is likely to become a military threat to Australia over the next 20 years.
The survey, released in June, suggested public wariness of China was related to Beijing's rapid rise and growing military power and sabre rattling over maritime territorial disputes with its neighbours.
Australia-US defence relations were strengthened under Labor with former PM Ms Gillard agreeing to the deployment of up to 1100 extra US marines in Australia's north as part of Washington's so-called pivot to the Asia Pacific – which was a counter balance to China's rise.
Coalition Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has signalled an Abbott government will strongly focus on trade in building ties with Beijing and in particular, concluding a long delayed free-trade agreement.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm buying my parents a home and i'm wondering whether I should include my name on the deed or just have my parents names be listed as the sole owners on the deed. Should I decide to have my parents names alone on the deed and they pass away and I inherit their home and sold it, would I be required to pay capital gains taxes, etc. Is this correct? If so, should I have my parents draft a document stating that the house will be solely pass on to me and not to my siblings (since I paid for their house)? Do my parents need to update their will or having a single document separated from the will will do? Is this correct? When can i sell the house, when the estate is finalized? Is it better to have my name listed on the deed along with my parents names? Thanks in advance for your guidance.
I am not a OH attorney, laws vary from state to state, therefore you should always consult a local attorney.
You have several options:
1. Deed the home to you now and grant a life estate to your patents;
2. Deed the home to you and your patents as joint tenants with rights of survivorship so that the property automatically becomes yours when your parents pass (note that your parents could still unilaterally convert the ownership to a tenancy in common by conveying their interest to someone else;
3. It is my understanding that OH has TOD Deeds - in which the deed recites that it the property is transferred to a designated person upon the death of the owners. Note that it is my understanding that TOD deeds are revocable - meaning that your parents could change the deed to remove the TOD provision or to give the property to someone else.
Note that anyone of the three choices above would remove the property from probate so that you would not be concerned with when your parents' estate would be finalized. You would be free to sell the property prior to the estate being probated. It is also my understanding that you would not be responsible for capital gains taxes.
I recommend that you speak with a local probate attorney.

It neither creates an attorney-client relationship nor provides legal guidance or advice. The answer is based on the limited information provided and the answer might be different had additional information been provided. You should consult an attorney.Ask a similar question
The question is "why are you buying your parents a home?" Presumably it is because you have plenty of money and they have little or none. If that is the case and they need to qualify for Medicaid, owning the house may either cause them to be disqualified or may be recovered by Ohio Medicaid Recovery after they die. My initial reaction is that you should just own the house and let them live there. No papers of any kind. Just buy it and say "Mom and Dad, move in." You will get stuck with capital gains tax if it increases in value and you sell it.
The only other way...and perhaps best way but more information and thought is required...is for you to lend them 100% of the money to buy it, using a balloon note. The term and imputed IRS interest rate will be a function of their age and health, but likely under 2%. When they die, you take back the house. There would be no recovery, or if any, only to the extent that the then-market value exceeds the principal and accrued interest on the note. Have them indicate in the Will that you have first right of refusal to purchase the residence at the date of death value. Of course, you will be purchasing it with your note. There are other considerations so more thought and arithmetic is needed, but this might meet your goals.

Oct 20, 2012 - Jane did an awesome job. She was super friendly and the salon had a great vibe. Jane took her time with my hair and made it look great. It looked fantastic leaving the salon (finally!) and I've been able to easily make it look good myself. I highly recommend this salon!

One thing I don't particularly love about this time of year (living in a college town) is when the students come back.
I remember overhearing an elderly woman say something to the effect of, "I love this town...until the students come back!" That comment fell on a young and vulnerable college students ears...and I was incensed! How dare she talk about all of us wonderful ADULTS like we are here to mess up HER town!
Fast forward 13 years...
And I heard myself remark to a friend, "You can always tell the week the students return. They're rude, they're everywhere and they're LOUD!"
It's official folks, I HAVE BECOME THAT OLD LADY! So I thought it would be appropriate to take a trip back in time and remember what it was like to BE one of those rowdy college kids...
This very week 13 years ago our car rumbled to a stop outside of Finley Hall on the Oregon State University campus. It was a warm day...much warmer than the coast. I was feeling super-cute with my shoulder-length bob and chunky blonde highlights. I pushed my black sunglasses off of my eyes and onto my head (because it made my hair look even cuter!) and eyed the enormous hall across from us. It was SO awesome! There were cute boys EVERYWHERE I looked! My mom, dad and I all loaded our arms full of my most important possessions (ya know, like, curling irons, make up, hair products, clothes) and walked through the double front doors and into the foyer. I couldn't believe this was real...and as soon as I had my stuff unloaded my parents were going to leave (sorry mom, I was mildly excited about that) and I was going to begin life as an ADULT!
My enthusiasm was shattered when we strode up to the elevator (arms already beginning to shake from exhaustion) and found that it was OUR OF ORDER! Oh, this is the part where I mention my dorm room was #731...that's right on the SEVENTH FLOOR! It didn't get any higher than that!
We spent the next couple of hours hauling stuff up those stairs, unloading as much as possible (to make room for my roommate's stuff), running (let's face it, I walked) back downstairs and doing it all over again. I SO did NOT look cute after all of that exercise! It was during our escapades that my roommate arrived and we all helped each other with the last few loads. I had the best roommate (I'm sure SHE didn't feel the same way)!
Side note: My dear friend, Shirey (NOT ShirLey - rhymes with bouquet) and I had grown up together (along with Amber and Stephanie who would room together right next door to us). I loved having such good friends around me at such a scary/exciting time in my life. In hindsight, I probably would not room with people I know again because other people in the dorm viewed us as an already-formed group (clique-ish) and it was hard to make friends. But I wouldn't trade the adventures we had for anything...hear that ladies...ANY.THING!
Whew, where was I? Oh yes...the dorms. We would learn soon enough that the Finley Hall elevator was notoriously out of order! Sometimes I would come back from class for a short break before the next one, see that the elevator was out and turn around and leave (or hang out in the lounge for a bit). Yep, I'm that lazy.
So we got all of our stuff unloaded and I said goodbye to my parents. That was hard. I was caught somewhere between not wanting them to go and wanting them to hurry up and go so I could begin my adult life (what a dork - yeah, we said dork back then, too)! Shirey, Amber, Steph and I spent some time unpacking, then headed out to explore the campus.
There were all kinds of activities going on. People were everywhere! They were going to show a movie in the quad that night (can not remember what it was...getting old) and there was a big buzz about Rush Week. I saw all of these sorority girls and fraternity boys in their matchy-matchy shirts and laughed and made fun of them. Who wants to be a sheep and look the same and do whatever everyone else is doing anyway? Well, the truth is I did. I wanted to be a part of a college family and do fun things and look cute all the time! But, I was afraid I wouldn't be accepted and I didn't bother to try (an oft repeated theme in my life)...so I guess I'll never know, will I? Dumb. Don't be dumb like I was...you young people that may be reading this. If you want to try something worthwhile (even just a little bit to see what it's like), then DO IT! I, of course, am talking about good activities...not stupid things that can harm you and/or destroy your future, got it?
Ok...lost my train of thought again...oh yes, the dorms. I can't possibly talk about our first days in Finley Hall without mentioning Tim Hillman (am I right girls?). He was our RA (resident assistant, and the nicest, funniest person you could ever meet) and boy did we all swoon over him. Yeah, and we used cool words like "swoon"...ok, no we didn't, but to say that we fell all over ourselves to get his attention and giggled like little school girls in his company is embarrassing...so I won...oh. Never mind. Wonder what ever happened to him...I think I'll look him up on Facebook.
Side note: I totally just found him on facebook!
Yeah, so...it was pretty good being an oblivious the-world-revolves-around-me college girl. I think I'll cut them some slack then next time one of them cuts me off in traffic...or yells obscenities to their "buddies" across the grocery store. Hmmm...maybe not.
Anywho, please enjoy the following photoshoot! I call it, rust-colored glasses: (can you tell what Avonleigh's all-time favorite outfit is? Trust me, you'll be seein' it a lot!)

"You are my inspiration"
"The pattern does not come available"
"I have several friends that are in the medical profession. This idea is awesome. So many times large clinics or hospitals require you to wear solid color scrubs. Here is a great way to say a little about yourself...your hobbies, vacations, pets etc. I just love the idea and will be making several."
"This summer sun dress looks so comfortable to wear. The V-front and V-back as well as the elastic fitted empire-line waist, and the gently gathered skirt gives this dress its style. Just two pattern pieces and a soft knit fabric will make this easy to wear summer frock. I have a pretty patterned knit that will be perfect for this dress"
"Love this pretty summer dress. The instructions indicate only one yard of fabric is needed to make the dress. If the adult version of the dress turns out somewhat short, easy to add some cotton eyelet or satin ribbon to the hemline to lengthen. Less elastic lines of gathers might be a way to add some length as well."

I like it but the name "Pinwheel" doesn't fit. It is a draped over-skirt. Reminds me of a storybook doll I had as a kid.

Best selling point is the location to the sports complex. The facility was clean. It was a nice place to stay but exception. I would stay there again.
nice, clean, and comfortable. Walking distance to the ball park. Overall a very nice place to stay. after checking in and getting to our room we discovered the a/c was leaking water and the corner of the rooms carpet was wet. We called the front desk at 3pm had to leave at 5:30 with no response. Got back to the hotel around 10:30pm still had nothing done about the a/c. went to the front desk and they had to move us to another room. The front desk employee said the would refund half of our cost for the room but that did not happen.
Right next to stadiums The shampoo and body wash were connected to the shower wall and were empty
The beds were extremely comfortable. The pillows were so soft, too. I would go back just for the beds. The staff were also very very friendly! There wasn't anything I didn't like. It was very nice, honestly. :)
The young staff was pleasant. The amenities. No spa or continental breakfast (would have paid more for it)
The second room was cleaner and bug free at least. Where to begin, I am not one to complain but i have had better experience's at a $40.00 a night budget motel. Hidden driveway. no adequate parking or place to park to check in, Rooms smelt stale and had roaches in it, the bath tub in 2 rooms would not drain or drained extremely slow, The pool had no entry or exit steps, just a ladder. There was breakfast offered, but they wanted over $11.00 per person for some buffet scrambled eggs and cold cereal. The beds were hard as a rock. the noise from the lobby echoed throughout the hotel and down the halls. when i called to ask why the lobby was so noisy as i had a 7 year old trying to sleep. i was told quiet hours were after 11:00pm.
The night clerk was very bubbly and friendly on check in and was helpful in helping me figure out how to get to the wifi. There should have been a better explanation in the room literature on how to access the internet from the room. It still refers to a data port on the phone, which is a bit outdated now.
Close to the ballpark, easy to park the moving truck, easy to find off the interstate. Would recommend this place for anyone moving across the country who only has a short stay in KCMO. Good BBQ for dinner then a royals game. Great for dogs too Dirty linens. No continental breakfast. Very Spartan/basic hotel. Best for adults who care more about being able to drink and walk to the game or get on and off I70 quickly than for families
The access to highway and eatery's The beds were to small the sink leaked and toilet took a long time to flush the lower level is were the put us and it felt like it. The security door to parking lot was broken. I told a staff and they said they have been working on it for a couple of weeks now. That really concerned me anyone could just walk in with no security surveillance.
Location across the street from the ballpark was great. Could have used a bit more counter space or a luggage rack.
Close to arrowhead The hot water served tasted like coffee. The bar/eating had real poor service and took evening help forever to serve you both days and they was not busy. The breakfast food was cold. Taco John was faster next door to get waited on. For $180 a night the soap dispenser in shower was not filled. For money I would stay at Drury Inn down road with free breakfast and evening free drinks and food.
We were in town to watch the Cardinals play the Royals - so the hotel was in a perfect location! Staff were very helpful upon check-in. Bartender and wait staff at the restaurant/bar were fun and helpful. We enjoyed sitting at the bar talking to them. We loved the balcony in our room. Enjoyed the no smoking aspect of the hotel. Beds and pillows were too soft. The shower did not drain correctly so in the shower you had to stand in dirty water. Room AC was not very cold.
The cleaning service The swimming pool too small and it wasn't open
The room was nice and the continental breakfast was very good. We had a great time swimming in the pool. My favorite part was the manager. He was so nice and very helpful, a really great people person. Going up 3 flights of stairs with 5 kids but I got my workout lol.

Made in South Africa.
This beautiful purse/handbag was made in KwaZulu Natal, it was hand crafted by the Zulu women, using traditional beading techniques. The main color in the bag is white with geometric accents of red, black, purple and blue.
About Zulu Beadwork.
To appreciate the true significance of traditional Zulu beadwork, however, one has to understand how effectively the Zulu have integrated social values into their arts and crafts. Traditional colors, color combinations and patterns are still found in modern Zulu beadwork but the real eloquence is rapidly subsiding under the pressures of urbanization and culture change.Traditional Zulu beadwork, arguably one of the most singular examples of this craft, was at one time far more than a merely decorative art of weaving small glass beads into aesthetically pleasing patterns. These designs were a surprisingly articulate vehicle of communication that helped to regulate behavior between individuals of opposite gender. The spirit and rhythm of Africa is expressed in vibrant color in this unique art form. All the ethnic groups in South Africa place high value in beads, which at one time were used as currency with which to trade hardware and foodstuff. The Zulu people are renowned for their exquisite and intricate beadwork, much of which is symbolic in nature – each color and design having its own meaning, for example the traditional Love Letters which carry "messages" from the heart. "Touch the essence of Tribal Life – create a fashion statement against the backdrop of today's technological world.
Zulu women are also expert at beadwork, weaving beads into intricate patterns to form jewelery and other decorative ornaments. The beads were first made from ivory, bone, clay, seed, stones, seashells, eggshells, plants, aromic wood and locally smelted iron. Vastly superior glass beads were introduced by European traders and became so popular that there are records of gold, ivory and even slaves being traded for them. For the Zulu, beads have always been both a means of adornment and a form of art. However, perhaps the most important aspect of beads in Zulu culture is the messages carried by these works of art. There is complex language of beads, which is most commonly linked with love. Colors have different meaning, white is associated with purity, pink with poverty, blue with loneliness, green with pining, red with tears and longing, yellow with jealousy, black with anger or hurt and striped beads with doubt. It is generally assumed that African beadwork in regions south of the Sahara has its origins in the comparatively recent past when the colonization of Africa opened up the dark continent to traders from Portugal, the Netherlands and England. Further, south, in what is now KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Province of South Africa, the trade in beads is supposed to have had an even more recent origin. Henry Francis Fynn, who came to Port Natal (now Durban) as a trader in 1824, was possibly the first Englishman to have offered glass beads as standard merchandise to the North Nguni, best known of which was the Zulu, whose colorful beadwork is unique because of it's singular eloquence in the way messages dealing with male, female relationships were traditionally woven into it's design. Even further to the south in what is the Transkei region of the Eastern Province, the South Nguni of whom the Xhosa, Pondo, and Thembu are well know sections have had close contact with the British ever since the first settlers arrived in Delagoa Bay (now Port Elizabeth) in 1820. Obviously, glass beads were common commodities offered by those early traders to Africans of the region whose beadwork, different in some respects from that of the Zulu, are in many ways as spectacular as the Zulu product. The beadwork tradition did not, however, begin with the traders of the early nineteenth century. The market for glass beads already existed in KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Province. Flynn at Port Natal and British traders operating from Delagoa Bay merely supplied it, meeting a need for a commodity that had been well known to their customers long before they arrived in what is now KwaZulu Natal and the Transkei. Glass beads appear to have been a by-product of the discovery of glass, said to have occurred in Egypt during the rule of the pharaohs as well as amongst the Chaldeans and Sumerians some thirty centuries ago. The Egyptians, favorably placed to trade with Africa to the south, were probably the first to peddle for gold, ivory and slaves. The Egyptians, who knew and valued precious stones, might well have assumed that the less sophisticated African to the south could be misled to believe that the beads, too were gems of singular value. The Egyptians glass beads, as well those from other sources with access to the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, were transported by Phoenicians, a seafaring nation known to have circumnavigated the cape long before the Portuguese led by Dias and Da Gama. From the Nile Delta in the far eastern Mediterranean to Carthage and on to the Straits of Gibraltar these Phoenician mariners carried cargoes of glass beads in addition to other merchandise, shipping them to every port along the North African coast and the ancient Negro Kingdoms of West and Central Africa. With the passage of time, the Arabs succeeded the Phoenicians as traders and continued to supply beads to African along the East Coast and India, having in the meantime become a supplier of this commodity. To this day, red cornelian beads of Indian origin are washed out of the Transkeian shores from ancient Arab vessels that fell victim to storms and sank. From the North African coast on the Mediterranean, camel caravans crises crossed
The Saharan desert to trade with the African Kingdoms south of the Sahara. The Arab traders were ousted by the Portuguese in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and these in turn were succeeded by the Dutch and the British. Glass beads were valued in Africa, not because African were duped into believing them to be precious stones, but because they were the products of an exotic technology, of which the equivalent was unknown in
Africa at that time. Beads, therefore, became precious in their own right and were soon linked to whatever was valued in the cultures of the people who owned and crafted them into a variety of objects to be worn according to custom, as a token of social status, political importance and for personal adornment. The West African kings of Ghana, Songhai, Mali and Nigeria are known to have worn beaded regalia so heavy that they had to be supported by attendants when rising from their thrones to move about in the course of their duties. In the Cameroon, beaded patterns and colors are remarkably similar to those found amongst the Zulu of KwaZulu Natal covered the regalia and badges of office used by Cameroonian rulers, so that entire thrones, examples of which may be seen in the Linden Museum in Stuttgart, were covered entirely with beads. Closer to home, Ndebele beadwork, often sold on the streets and sidewalks of Pretoria and Johannesburg, is well known. Traditionally, certain beaded items were worn to distinguish young girls from their more senior sisters, to identify girls engaged to be married, or to adorn brides and young mothers after the birth of their first children. Among the Xhosa of the Transkei, special beadwork marks off peer grounds of different age sets while distinctive regalia is reserved for the bride and groom at weddings and for guests closely associated with them. What makes Zulu beadwork unique, however, is the code by which particular colors are selected and combined in various ways to shape messages that at the same time are woven into decorative geometrical designs. The geometric shapes themselves have particular significance and the craft itself forms an intricate communicational system devoted entirely to the expression of ideas, feelings and facts related to behavior and relations between the sexes. It is sometimes difficult to decide whether beadwork is a craft, an art, a communicational system similar in principle to a written language or part of a symbolic code used for their own purpose by specialists in traditional magic. Zulu beadwork, because it's close relationship with weddings and engagements where the major actors are identified by the beaded finery they wear, has at times been presented as evidence in court cases where the responsibilities of parties to marriage contracts are in dispute. Beadwork, as an art form, thus intrudes into the fields of social relationships, the practice of law and the communication of ideas. Beadwork is the exclusive terrain of Zulu women, so that they become in some ways communities of their won, using the beaded items as technical instruments to follow their own interests. Amongst women, beadwork is also an educational tool, teaching young girls how to conduct themselves in their relationships with males. All this indicates that Zulu beadwork is closely integrated with Zulu social organization, the technology of specialized craftsmanship, religious beliefs and magic, educational objective, communication and even recreation, because the craft itself provides plenty of fun. Zulu beadwork tells us a lot about the way in which the Zulu have constructed their society. One soon understands that they have produced a closely integrated system in which all institution – religious, social, economic, educational, technological, communicational, recreational, legal, political as well as those designed to give aesthetic satisfaction in the form of art – are mutually supportive. This makes it a very powerful system, highly resistant to change. Unfortunately, it is in this very strength that danger lurks; Zulu tradition, as in so many other African territories, will resist change until the impact of rises above the optimal margin of tolerance, at which point there is the very real possibility that social values will fall apart, resulting in serious socio-economic damage. What this means is that the impact of change, whether generated by the need for economic development, technological advancement or improved educational levels, should be carefully controlled so that the margins of tolerance are respected. If this is not done, all development programs are likely to fail.

Winfrey gave more than 300 audience members $1,000 debit cards sponsored by the Bank of America to donate to a charitable cause.
Oprah Winfrey knows what is best for her audience and most of all for charity. The very generous talk show queen has given all to her audience, ranging from new cars to fulfilling their wildest dreams. This time around she has something greater than all, something extraordinary.
The so-called the "gift of giving back" is a $1,000 debit cards sponsored by the Bank of America to donate to a charitable cause. On a show that aired Monday Oct 30th, Oprah gave away the cards to more than 300 audience members.
"I can honestly say that every gift I've ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I've given it to," Oprah says. "That's the feeling I want to pass on to you." The audience members can later on give the entire sum to one person, relatives aren't eligible, or they can split it among charitable causes. Audience members also received a DVD recorder to tape their stories for a future show.
"You're going to open your hearts, you're going to be really creative, and you're going to spend it all at once on one stranger or spend a dollar on every person," Oprah added. "Imagine the love and kindness you can spread with $1,000."

The booking was so easy and my change of plans were catered for. The telephone staff could not be more helpful and kept in constant contact with me. The whole spa experience was fantastic, venue was lovely with fantastic scenery. Staff were so helpful and could not do enough. The treatments were more than I expected and the therapists were very knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning to this great spa.

Although head coach Butch Davis was clearly disappointed in the outcome, he continued to praise the effort of the UNC team. "I have not come back to the locker room one time when I felt this team had quit," Davis said.
* Turnovers. They were again a major factor in this game, as they were in North Carolina's previous two losses, with UNC quarterback T.J. Yates throwing four interceptions.
Yates' first interception was, in effect, a 48-yard punt with no return. The interception came as UNC faced a third-and-fifteen. That turnover resulted in no South Florida points, as they had to punt following the turnover. The second Yates' interception – which included a questionable interference no-call – yielded only a field goal to South Florida. "The defense worked so hard to get us the ball, and then we'd give it right back to them," UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said.
The third interception and fourth interceptions, however, were more costly. The third interception came after rare pressure by North Carolina forced a Grothe fumble. While South Florida only managed a field goal after the pick, UNC gave up great field position. The fourth interception came after North Carolina had held South Florida on downs, the Bulls failing to convert a third-and-three. The Bulls converted that turnover into seven points.
The Tar Heels were unable to turn any of the three turnovers – all fumbles - they gained into points, even a fumbled punt recovery that gave them possession on the 19-yard line. When North Carolina creates a rare turnover, they need to do a better job of being opportunistic.
* Time of Possession. This was again a problem for the Tar Heels, with South Florida nearly doubling them in the first half. Poor tackling, and the failure of the UNC defense to force South Florida into third-and-long situations, contributed to the inability of North Carolina to get off the field. On South Florida's second touchdown drive, they did not face a third down conversion longer than three yards. The UNC offense contributed to the lop-sided time-of-possession with turnovers and an inability to move the chains. The Tar Heels had eleven possessions that lasted less than two minutes.
* Pressure. This was also a game of pressure – rare pressure by North Carolina's defense on the Golden Bulls' signal-caller, Matt Grothe, while Tar Heel quarterback T.J. Yates was harassed by South Florida's defense early and often. South Florida was able to break down North Carolina's pass protection schemes to a degree not seen so far this season. "They definitely did a good of keeping the pressure on," Yates said. When Bulls defensive end George Selvie, who had three sacks, wasn't harassing Yates, they employed some effective blitzes by linebackers (one by linebacker Carlton Williams resulted in a sack), and would occasionally also bring a corner (such as Trae Williams, whose blitz almost resulted in another interception).
When he had time, which was often, USF quarterback Matt Grothe was often able to exploit the Tar Heels' zone coverage in the secondary. Grothe also did a good job of rolling away from the pressure UNC was able to bring. "You just have to give credit to their offensive line," UNC cornerback Kendric Burney said.
South Florida's strategy of spreading the field on offense contributed to the lack of pressure by the UNC defense. The Tar Heels were not able to put any pressure on Grothe when South Florida went into their multiple receiver sets. Grothe would often exploit any cushion yielded on the corner coverage, with wide receiver Amari Jackson picking up good yardage on simple toss-and-catch plays to the outside.
* Looking Inward. Following the game, several Tar Heel players, while giving credit to the South Florida team, said that this loss was more about North Carolina than South Florida. "It's always about us," defensive tackle Marvin Austin said. "It's never about the other team. "We just have to come out and take care of our responsibilities," Burney said. "They're a great team," offensive tackle Garrett Reynolds said, "but our mistakes and errors were more to blame." "We did not give them our best effort," Yates said. "Absolutely, we didn't."
* Houston's Debut. UNC head coach Butch Davis said that they anticipated playing running back Ryan Houston – who became the 11th true freshmen to play for UNC this year - before the game, regardless of the score. Davis said that North Carolina "sorely needed more balance" and to be more "multi-dimensional" on offense and simply could not rely on Yates to carry that phase of the team. Davis indicated he was pleased with Houston's performance – and perhaps a bit surprised.
* Learning Experience. Davis indicated that the early strategy on offense – which saw T.J.Yates taking the snap from the shotgun formation with an empty backfield without a huddle – was a good plan but failed in its execution.
While T.J. Yates suffered his first poor performance of the year (11-of-27, 85 yards, 4 INTs), Davis gave no indication that he considered replacing Yates at any point in the game. Davis instead relayed that he had talked with Yates about how games like this must be viewed as learning experiences – comparing the situation to how Troy Aikman's rookie year was considered a bust in come circles.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:17)
We hear many people talk about how much God loves us. Have you ever stop to think about how powerful God is? Joshua 10 tells a great story of God's power! Take the time today and read verses 1-15.
In the Old Testament, we can read about how God specially chose a group of people called the "Israelites" to be His children. When God stood with Joshua and the children of Israel, there was no kingdom on Earth that could stand against His people. We know how powerful God is. God controls the weather. He can send hailstorms, hurricanes, tornados, and floods. He created the whole planet, and His power is greater than earthquakes and tidal waves and glaciers. God controls history, too. He has helped some armies win battles that were impossible for humans to win. In the Bible, there are stories about many miracles that God did that we humans could never do! God has proved over and over again how powerful He is.
But what if God only ever showed His power, but not His love? But do you know what else we learn about God from His Word? God loves His people and He wants to deliver them. God is powerful, and God loves perfectly, so He must be just as powerful in His loving as He is in everything else He does. God's love is powerful.
Because He was their loving and powerful God and Father, God taught His people by disciplining them. When the Israelites obeyed God, then God would bless them with victory. They were small armies and had not been trained how to fight, but God helped them win, over and over again. But when the Israelites disobeyed God, then God would have to punish them for their sin. The Israelites suffered whenever they disobeyed God. One time, the Earth opened up and swallowed some of them. One time, God sent poisonous snakes. One time, they lost many of their men in a battle. But through it all, God loved them and He helped them when they turned to Him for help.
In the New Testament, we can read about when God came to Earth Himself. When Jesus Christ, Who is God, came to be born as a human being, He invited all people to be His children. He came to do the impossible. He was powerful enough to live a life without sin. He was powerful enough to bear the sins of men and the rejection of His Father when He died on the cross. He was powerful enough to raise up from the grave. None of us could have done any of those things!
Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection is powerful proof that God loves powerfully. He loved the world so much that He sent His Son into it--not to condemn it and wreck it and make a mess of it, but to redeem and rescue and deliver and save anyone who comes to Him and trusts Him to help.
God's love is powerful enough to deliver us from our sins through Jesus Christ.
My Response: » Have I asked God to deliver me from my sin? » When was the last time I told someone about God's love for him or her?
"I have been asked the question: 'Has God always given you just what you have asked for?' Oh no! For Him to have done so would have been great unkindness."
Born May 6, 1864, near Kensington Gardens, London, Florence Rosalind Bell-Smith was considered talented even as a child. In 1885, she graduated from the Toronto School of Art and prepared to be a well-respected artist.
But God had other plans for Rosalind's life. When she was twelve years old, she attended a revival meeting and heard the preacher preach from John 3:16. About that meeting, she wrote:
As he presented with great intensity and fervour the picture of the love of God, I yielded myself absolutely to the Lord Jesus Christ and stood up among others, publicly confessing Him as my Master.
From the time she was saved, Rosalind felt a strong tug-of-war between her love of art and her desire to serve God full-time with her life. She told the Lord that she wanted to get married someday, but only if the man was completely sold out to Christ. When she met Jonathan Goforth and saw how completely worn out his Bible was from being read so often, she thought this could very well be God's choice for her husband.
Her love of art was overcome over time with a love for serving Christ. On February 4, 1888, the Goforths set sail for China, where they had great plans to spread the Gospel. Two weeks after they settled into their new home, it burned to the ground; and during their years in ministry, they lost five of their eleven children. But in the midst of all their trials and changes in plans, they found God completely sufficient.
Do you really believe that God is wise enough to plan your life? Do you believe His will is best, that it is definitely better than yours? Anything you plan for yourself is bound to be less wonderful than what God has in mind for His higher, better plans. God wants what will be ultimately best for your life, even more than you do!
Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
Lord - rabboni
Mark 10:51 "And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight."
Yes. Acts 2:23 – Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.
A miracle is an act that can't be done without supernatural power. It can be a remarkable event or thing, but it always arouses people's awe and wonder and bears witness to God. When Jesus healed people and cleansed lepers and cast out demons, those were miracles. (Matthew 4:24) "And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."

Maybe a change of scenery will help soothe Robert Pattinson's broken heart.
The Twilight actor and London native might just be moving home following the revelation that (ex?) girlfriend Kristen Stewart cheated on him with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
"Robert is thinking long and hard about returning to London," a source close to the star revealed to Radar Online, which also reports that R-Patz is selling the Los Angeles home he once shared with Stewart.
"Despite making friends in America, Robert longs just to have a pint with the mates he grew up with in a local west London pub. He's just a regular guy. ...He is set to make up his mind very soon – his family hasn't put pressure on him to return – but he misses them very much and they've said they'd welcome him back with open arms," the source said.

3i founded with £15m of capital
The 1931 MacMillan Committee Report identified a "MacMillan Gap"; a chronic shortage of long-term investment capital for small and medium-sized businesses. It recommended the formation of a company "to devote itself particularly to these smaller industrial and commercial issues". This company would, in addition to its ordinary capital, issue preference share capital backed by the debentures or shares of the companies which it financed and therefore serve as an intermediary between small investors and small and medium-sized industrial borrowers.
Hence, 3i's roots were laid through the establishment of ICFC (Industrial and Commercial Financial Corporation) and the FCI (Finance Corporation for Industry) in 1945 under the UK's labour government led by Clement Atlee following the second world war. The ICFC was established to serve small and medium sized businesses through the provision of long term and permanent capital (typical investments of £5,000-£200,000). It was exclusively funded by the major clearing banks and the Bank of England, who collectively agreed to provide share and loan capital up to £45m, led by Lord William Piercy as its first Chairman. In the same year, the FCI was founded with £25m of capital and the ability to borrow a further £100m. Share capital was subscribed by insurance companies, investment trust companies and the Bank of England with a remit to provide capital (principally in the form of debt) in larger amounts than the ICFC to facilitate the rationalisation and restructuring of key sectors of British industry and for post-war re-equipment.
The 1970s saw the merger of the FCI and ICFC forming "Finance for Industry" (FFI), which during the 1980s was rebranded to "Investors in Industry" and later in July 1994, at the time of its London Stock Exchange flotation and entry into the FTSE100, became "3i" as we know it today.

Adam Broomberg (b. 1970, South Africa) and Oliver Chanarin (b. 1971, UK) are nominated for their publication War Primer 2 (MACK, 2012).
War Primer 2 is a limited edition book that physically inhabits the pages of Bertolt Brecht's remarkable 1955 publication War Primer. Brecht's photo-essay comprises 85 images, photographic fragments or collected newspaper clippings, that were placed next to a four-line poem, called 'photo-epigrams'. Broomberg and Chanarin layered Google search results for the poems over Brecht's originals.
Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin are based in London. Together they have published nine monographs and have had numerous international exhibitions including the Gwagnju Biennale, the Stedelijk Museum, the International Center of Photography, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, The Photographers' Gallery and Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art.
Broomberg and Chanarin teach at the Zurich University of the Arts and are Visiting Fellows at the University of the Arts London. Their work is represented in major public and private collections including Tate Modern, the Stedelijk Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Musee de l'Elysée and the International Center of Photography.
