Interested in Nicaragua?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Nicaragua each week.
Topics include Transportation, Dining Scene, For Foreign Visitors & more!
"Why are you going to Nicaragua? You must be careful. I have heard that the guerrilla is at the mountains and the Sandinistas on the streets, they kidnap foreigners, the crime and the delinquency is increasing and the poverty you can see it in each corner..."
Surely you have heard to this when you said that you are coming to Nicaragua and perhaps there is a small voice saying, "Is this truth? Is it worth it taking this risk? Why I shouldn´t go to a safe place?"
Well from all of the previous comments there is only one certain thing: there is much poverty, According to the world-wide statistics locates Nicaragua between the poorest countries of America along with Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador, etc.
But the rest of the comments are false or no longer they apply to the present situation of this beautiful country of lakes and volcanoes. The guerrilla or the armed front that was created in the decade of 60´s to overthrow the Somocista dictatorship that was in the power of the country from 30´s to the 70' s no longer exists, now is a left handed political group that within certain parameters tries to obey the laws of Nicaragua, the guerrilla that later was created in the 80´s (the contras supported by the government of Ronald Reagan) to overthrow the sandinistas no longer exist now both groups either work shoulder to shoulder to be able to see the blooming of Nicaragua, Nicaragua has no longer armed confrontation, the sonorous explosions that before were listened in the streets now are replaced by the explosions of fireworks to celebrate the Catholic activities that from time to time they will wake up to you very early in the morning.
As far as the crime, Nicaragua is one of the safest countries in Central America. While the statistics of crimes in Latin America the statistics are a little bit high, Nicaragua is seconds in the world-wide ranking behind Southern Africa. Many of the neighboring countries of Nicaragua in Central America are with an index of very high crime, Nicaragua reports only 14 crimes for each 100,000 inhabitants. Countries like El Salvador with 71 in 100,000, Honduras with 67 in 100,000, Guatemala with 52 in 100,000, Panama with 24 in 100,000, Belize with 29 in 100.000, Only Costa Rica is a bit lower than Nicaragua 13 crimes for each 100,000 inhabitants.

Voyeur : May 2010
Bishop Tutu orated from the pulpit here with firebrand that advocated sanctions against apartheid. The next stop on my tour -- Regina Mundi Church -- is a more profound experience. Two gargantuan steel blades come together like hands in prayer to for m the roof of the church. Here, beneath its vaulted recesses, Bishop Tutu, bathed in the subdued sheen from the lemon-coloured stained-glass windows, or ated from the pulpit with firebr and that advocated sanctions against the apartheid government. The church also provided sanctuary for protesters pursued by shotgun-wielding police. Bullet holes in the building are a testament to the sieges it witnessed during the infamous riots of 1976. During my visit, I encounter a statue of Christ standing sentinel over neighbourhood choir pr actice. A group of 50 girls in smart unifor ms shuffle into the front pews, followed by an equal number of boys. It is obviously the low point of their school day, but then they begin to sing. The girls' voices blend into a symphony of the sweetest sopr ano, which is given depth by the bass of the boys singing a few phrases behind. The result is a tr aditional 'call and response' gospel tune that fills me with joy and has my eyes brimming with tears. I don't understand a word of it, yet it stirs within me a sense of elation for which I am wholly unprepared. THE LAST SUPPER With all this revelation, I've worked up a mighty hunger, so I end the day with a ver y late lunch at Wandie's Place in the nearby suburb of Dube. Perhaps Soweto's best-known eatery, it provides a superb viewing spot at twilight for watching the town take its foot off the peak-hour accelerator. Commuters leap lazily from minicabs, flicking smiling jibes and laughing farewells over their shoulders. Our meal is ser ved as a buffet, which comprises a dozen three-legged cast-iron pots ar ranged in two rows. Because prime cuts of meat were usually beyond the budget of your average township chef, many have perfected the art of slow cooking. Pepper-scented chicken curries are ser ved beside tomato-laced mutton stews with pearls of glistening oil, while bubbling biryanis have me planning second helpings before I've star ted on the fir st. The fare is accompanied by pap, a white maize staple that is cooked with water until it reaches a consistency that is perfect for mopping up the flavoursome sauces. I can hear my arteries hardening as dish after dish is piled on my plate, and I take the opportunity to reflect on my Soweto experience with a pair of frost-kissed Castle Lager longnecks. In the course of just one day, South Africa's blackest town has stolen, broken and melted my heart and then coated it with cholesterol. Getting there :: V Australia flies direct from Melbourne to Johannesburg twice a week. To book your V Australia flight, visit www.vaustralia.com. au or call 13 82 87 (in Australia) or 0800 8287 82 (in New Zealand). For more information about day tours of Soweto, visit www.soweto.co.za. A full-day tour costs about A$100. From top: Regina Mundi Catholic Church in Soweto has a history of offering refuge from the apartheid forces; Wandie's Place is where drinking, people- watching and slow cooking converge.

Specific Cache validities could allow for extended semantics, like expiration dates, proxy directives to avoid caching out of the container (thus revalidating requests every time "must-revalidate") or dictating a "max-age", etc. Note: I have not seen the cache code in at least a year, I'm referring to Ricardo's design ideas and availability just before cocoon-2.0 Also note that I always suggest this in the worst possible moment (at beta stabilization time :-(

France's ambassador has praised Malcolm Turnbull's views on global warming as one of the "planets aligned" needed to get a good result out of crucial Paris climate talks next month.
Ambassador Christophe Lecourtier said the French government felt Mr Turnbull shared its politics and philosophy on the issue and therefore was more confident than before that Australia will play a positive role.
However he stressed France had always been confident that "at the end of the day" Australia would step up on climate action.
"What I can tell you is that now we are even a bit more confident. We know what the Prime Minister ... is aware of what's happening with the planet and what will be happening in Paris," Mr Lecourtier told the National Press Club in Canberra.
"We see that … the planets are apparently becoming more and more aligned, the action of Australia and the personality of the Prime Minister being part of that ... We know that he will certainly be among us in terms of philosophy of action and political position."
Mr Lecourtier, who had previously urged former prime minister Tony Abbott to attend the Paris talks starting in late November, said it would be up to Mr Turnbull whether he attends, depending on his schedule.
France has reportedly launched a concerted diplomatic drive for the world to take firm action at the talks, including instructing every one of its ambassadors to reach out to the governments they deal with.
Paris is the successor to the Copenhagen talks of 2009 which were widely derided as a failure. Mr Turnbull will keep his predecessor's pledge of cutting Australia's emissions by 26 to 28 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030, though this is below what independent experts say is needed to avoid damaging warming over the course of this century.
Mr Lecourtier said 150 countries had so far published their commitments, totalling 90 per cent of global emissions compared with just 15 per cent for the Kyoto Protocol.
Agreements to be signed in Paris needed to be legally binding "not a mere political declaration of good will", he said.
But amid fears that the pledges will not be enough to avert serious global warming, the United Nations is already moving to establish a mechanism for countries to review their targets every five years.
"There's a bit of work that needs to be done in the coming weeks," Mr Lecourtier said.
Mr Lecourtier also said that regional naval co-operation between France and Australia could grow if Canberra chooses to buy French submarines.
And he said the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad should not be part of any future government in the war-torn country, even in a transitional arrangement – a view that is at odds with the Australian government's position.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has said that Assad may need to stay in place at least temporarily as part of negotiations to end the bloody civil war.

AboitizLand, Inc. has started construction of the clubhouse for Ajoya in Cordova, Mactan Island. Ajoya, a riverside community, is the first Flipino-themed residential development in Cebu, the company said in a statement.
The clubhouse will be completed this year.
AboitizLand Sales Manager Grace Lepiten, Assistant Vice-President for External Affairs Allan Alfon, Vice-President for Marketing and Sales Team Manuel Arbues II lead the groundbreaking for the facility.
Ajoya is AboitizLand's first community in Cordova town in Cebu. The company said in its website that Ajoya "is a residential and commercial neighborhood of AboitizLand that offers refuge from urban chaos yet accessible to the family's needs. A place that keeps you in touch with nature reinforced with strong community feel."
Ajoya's total area is 15 hectares with a total of 820 saleable units consisting of 67 lots, 14 shop houses, 104 two-storey town houses, 175 two-storey duplexes, 195 1-storey single-detached units, 112 two-storey single-detached medium units and 153 two-storey single-detached large units.
Design theme
Ajoya is being developed with a "vibrant modern Asian Filipino" theme. "It is a design that evokes subtle images from simple iconic elements of an Asian/Filipino atmosphere inclined with a bit of modern feel," AboitizLand said.
AboitizLand said Ajoya is unique because it will have a property management team whos members are professionally trained and will "live" with the residents and extend assistance in terms of cleanliness, maintenance and security and safety.
Stress-free living
This, the company said, is meant to assure residents of "quality, peaceful and stress-free living."
AboitizLand said Ajoya will have a row of shophouses near the entrance not only to cater to the residents within Ajoya but also those in neighboring communities.
Ajoya is located in Barangay Gabi, Cordova town, right across Gabi Elementary School. There are two roads leading to the development. You can pass thru Basak road where Pueblo Verde, Gaisano, Mactan Doctors are located and another through Babag road where Marie Ernestine School and Poblacion are located.
Apart from the clubhouse, the development will have a standard-sized basketball court with benches, community assembly area with provisions for Filipino childhood games (tubig-tubig, luksong-tinik, etc.), children's playground, al fresco picnic area with BBQ station, recreational pool and AboitizLand community shapes in the landscaping.

I'm glad people caught the error in Justice Scalia's EPA v. EME Homer City Generation, L.P. opinion (see Jonathan's post about this, and his follow-up post). But I think some of the criticism of the error — though not Jonathan's criticism — has been rather over the top, and lacking a sense of perspective. Justices and their law clerks, like others, sometimes err. The errors should be corrected, but the presence of such errors generally isn't particularly shocking.
Here's one example from a celebrated case, Reno v. ACLU (1997), where the Court struck down the first Internet indecency ban (the Communications Decency Act). Justice Stevens's majority opinion, joined by six other Justices, had to distinguish two prior cases that involved non-obscene sexually themed or vulgar material — Ginsberg v. New York (1968), which upheld a ban on selling sexually themed material to minors, and FCC v. Pacifica Foundation (1978), the famous "Seven Dirty Words" case that upheld a ban on "indecency" (including vulgarity) in over-the-air broadcasting. These were important precedents for the majority to distinguish, especially since the Pacifica indecency ban was in some ways quite similar to the CDA's indecency ban.
Here is one thing that Justice Stevens's opinion said in its analysis:
The breadth of the CDA's coverage is wholly unprecedented. Unlike the regulations upheld in Ginsberg and Pacifica, the scope of the CDA is not limited to commercial speech or commercial entities.
But this turns out to be wrong. The Ginsberg law, though it was limited to commerce in magazines, was not limited to commercial speech: Such magazines, even ones sold for money, do not qualify as commercial speech, a term that generally refers to commercial advertising. For instance, it's well-established that a restriction on the sale of, say, Time magazine or New York Times subscriptions or books wouldn't be treated as a "commercial speech" restriction, even though the sale of the works is itself a form of commerce; and that a magazine is pornographic doesn't make it more or less "commercial speech." ("Important commercial attributes of various forms of communication do not qualify their entitlement to constitutional protection…. Thus, in Virginia State Bd. of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc., we explained: '… Speech likewise is protected even though it is carried in a form that is 'sold' for profit [citing, among others, a case involving sales of allegedly pornographic books]….'" City of Cincinnati v. Discovery Network, Inc. (1993) (Justice Stevens' majority opinion).)
Moreover, the Pacifica regulation was not limited either to commercial speech or to commercial entities. The broadcast in Pacifica itself was noncommercial speech carried by a nonprofit, noncommercial radio station. And the lead opinion in Pacifica was written by Justice Stevens himself; indeed, it has long been seen as one of Justice Stevens's most famous, and most controversial, opinions.
Nor was there indication that the Reno v. ACLU majority opinion was deliberately trying to redefine the terms "commercial speech" or "commercial entities." As best I can tell, this was just an error, or perhaps two errors. Justice Stevens — a very smart man — and his clerks, doubtless very smart as well, made an error, which the other Justices and clerks didn't spot.
It's important to notice these errors, both so they can be corrected (the EPA v. EME Homer City error was, the Reno v. ACLU error wasn't), and so that people remember that even Supreme Court opinions should not be trusted implicitly. Indeed, I give the Reno v. ACLU error as an example in my Academic Legal Writing book, to illustrate the proposition that law students writing law review articles shouldn't rely on intermediate sources, but should read, quote, and cite the original source: If you want to talk about what Pacifica or Ginsberg involved, don't just trust how a later opinion describes it, but go back to the original.
But it's also important, I think, to keep a sense of perspective about the errors. Justices, left, right, and center, are people, and people make mistakes.

Sporks were not as popular as forks but they were way helluva cooler.
The first sporks were invented by AlForQ in competition with other fork making companies. Eventually, AlForQ sold the rights to his spork to Taco Bell which made a killing on them.
Sporks became a favorite way for people to stab themselves. Gouging one's eyes out with a flaming spork was also conducive to serial killers and nutjobs.

Average Price: $22.98
This cream is my absolute favorite for my babies' dry skin. I used it on both of my girls and I preferred it to the Johnson's Baby Lotion. The cream was thicker, and left their skin more moisturized and it lasted! Great for extra dry skin. (Mom uses it too!)
easy to carry around, amazing smell! works great on your baby!
This stuff is amazing!! None greasy, goes on smooth and creamy, leaves skin super soft and moisturized until the next bath time. I even use it on my feet. I have always been a big fan of Johnson's products, but they really hit it out of the park on this product.

text: NEW YORK ( Bullion Bulls Canada) -- It is an utter absurdity that "sustainable development" is a proverbial four-letter word throughout our society.Proclaim you're an advocate of sustainable development, and then just stand back as right-wing Neanderthals hurl their idiot-epithets at you. Environmentalist. Socialist. Communist. In fact, however, what advocating sustainable development really signifies is a basic understanding of economics, and the ability to perform arithmetic. As every economy matures, economic growth steadily slows -- literally toward zero. This is not a "theory." This is empirical evidence, from every nation and culture on the planet, spanning thousands of years. When an economy begins development, growth is initially rapid as economic opportunities abound. However, over time these opportunities dry up as there are less new markets to discover and the old markets begin to become "crowded" with competitors. Understand that if one is against sustainable development then ipso facto you are an advocate for "unsustainable development." Unsustainable development -- in a finite system -- is not an "economic strategy." Rather, it is conclusive evidence of either insanity or idiocy: seeking to do the impossible, or not understanding that you seek to do the impossible. But we're not dealing with simple idiocy here. We compound that idiocy, many times over. In addition to the inevitable slowing of maturing economies, we have piled insane amounts of debt onto all these mature economies -- making them hopelessly insolvent. Put aside all of the obvious Western Deadbeats (led by the U.S.). Let's look at Canada. A quarter-century ago, when Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio soared above 70%, it was universally agreed by governments, the media and their esteemed experts that Canada was experiencing "a debt crisis." Today, with Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio above 80%, it is hailed as a paragon of fiscal prudence by these same governments, media and experts. Obviously the rules of arithmetic haven't changed in the last 25 years, meaning you cannot re-define solvency. We are being lied to. Nearly all Western economies are spiraling toward complete debt-implosion -- at which time the more than $1 quadrillion in assorted banker, paper Ponzi-schemes will also implode. Want to get some idea of what that will look like? Think Greece.

The notion of a universal coalgebra affords both a formal and unifying representation of dynamic systems, including deterministic, weighted and probabilistic automatons, differential equation systems, hybrid and control systems, reaction-diffusion equations, and timed and stochastic Petri nets, as well as power series and Taylor series. In this paper I briefly examine the various ways that coalgebraic techniques have been applied to quantitative modelling in the social sciences. In this context, I provide a critique of Philip Mirowski's proposal to use "self-reproducing" automatons as a means for simulating the evolution of market mechanisms. Instead, I examine ways that coalgebraic techniques could be used to represent adjustment processes of varying temporality that arise in the simulation of Classical and Keynesian models of a multi-sectoral economy. Here, the focus will be on three inter-related developments associated with the global dominance of neoliberal policy regimes: namely, the crippling of organized labour; the demise of Keynesianism; and the growth in "financialization". I argue that these developments must be understood in the context of both the global concentration and centralization of control and the increasing use of household debt as a means of maintaining accumulation, albeit, at the expense of increasing financial fragility.

The Seattle Children's Hospital has implemented Gemalto's Protiva security solutions, including the Strong Authentication Server, two factor authentication devices and technical support services, to securely access its servers, networks and VPNs. Seattle Children's Hospital, ranked one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report. It will equip 4,500 clinicians and IT administrators with Gemalto's convenient portable multifactor authentication capability.
The hospital selected Gemalto's Protiva .NET solution to leverage the intrinsic "plug and play" capabilities of their existing Microsoft infrastructure. This included the flexibility to deploy three types of .NET devices provisioned and managed through Protiva Strong Authentication Server - the .NET USB key, the .NET Dual token, and the Easy OTP token, effectively replacing all legacy tokens.
"We view Gemalto as a long-term partner as our organization and data security needs continue to change," said Mike Kindle, senior director, Enterprise Architecture for Seattle Children's Hospital. "With Protiva, we have the access protection we need today, a cost-effective path to PKI, and the flexibility to evolve our security technology to meet future requirements."
Gemalto's flexible Protiva suite contains secure smart card technology to provide hospital staff with two factor strong authentication for authorized user access to the hospital network. They can use either one-time passwords or public key infrastructure (PKI) as the underlying authentication technology, and offers digital signature capabilities.
"Securing patients data privacy, information access and capturing an audit trail of all access events is vital to any healthcare organization," added Tom Flynn, vice president, Online Authentication and eBanking for Gemalto North America. "By choosing Gemalto, Seattle Children's Hospital can ensure a smooth strong authentication deployment, tailored to the needs of the hospital's diverse users. This includes providing the same high level of access security even when an authorized user is accessing from a remote location."

Getting in Gears: New York Times Goes to Irving, Tries Not to Get Arrested and Deported
For two years, the city of Irving's been turning over to federal officials people it arrests, for various reasons, and suspects of being illegal immigrants. Matter of fact, the so-called "experiment" has been in effect for so long that a once-controversial issue -- Hispanics claimed the Irving PD was engaged in racial profiling and pulling over folks for petty offenses -- appeared to turn into a nonissue. Till this morning.
My former Daily Texan cohort Randy Kennedy has come back to Texas to tell how "immigrant-friendly Democrat" Herb Gears, the Irving mayor "with deep political ties to the city's Hispanic leaders," is leading U.S. cities' attempts to take control of the immigration issue, for better or worse. Says Gears in the lengthy front-page piece:
"I let my instincts rule the moment in that instance," he said. "What weighed heavily in my thoughts is that if we didn't do something, a lot more immigrants were going to be hurt."
"And now," Mr. Gears added ruefully, "I'm the hero of every redneck in America."
Why? Because folks are getting deported not only for the big-ticket items, but for lesser charges -- like, driving without insurance. And, spoiler alert, there's a cameo by everyone's favorite activist, Carlos Quintanilla, who calls Gears "the most tormented man in America."

Check Out Our BEST Vibrators For Women!
MISSIONARY MAN: If you think that missionary (man on top) is a ho-hum or vanilla position think again! While it is considered the most practiced position there is a reason: it can get your woman off! The missionary position places the man's pubic bone in a fantastic position for rubbing against her clitoris. Furthermore, she can adjust her hips to thrust up into him to allow more friction. The closeness of this position also allows for kissing and holding – which is intimate – and often helps the woman connect with her partner. The woman can wrap her legs around her man, or, make them lax and limp so that her clitoris is more exposed. The variations are limitless! So, don't shrug off the missionary position, think of it as the cums-a-lot position!
See ALL Our Toys for Couples!
RIDE TO THE O: When a woman takes control of her own pleasure she is more likely to have an orgasm. For many women, this means the reverse cowgirl position! In this position she can take her partner as deeply or as shallow as she would like. She also can adjust her strides to a pace that suits her. Most importantly, she can rub her clitoris against him while she is in charge, enhancing her arousal and increasing her chance of having an orgasm. For many women the reverse cowgirl position creates the optimal environment for orgasm!
Double Her Pleasure With One Of Our Intercourse Stimulators!
GOING D FOR THE O: While many people believe that doggystyle (woman on all fours and man entering from behind) is a "man's" position – the truth is, it is a fantastic position for the female O! In doggystyle the penetration is extremely deep – which is pleasing for both partners. Also, the curve of the penis can stroke a woman's G-Spot, so if she is a lucky girl and can orgasm from internal stimulation alone – this position is a must do! Plus, if she wants to add in some clitoral stimulation while having sex all she has to do is reach between her legs and go to it. This position also offers options: bending your head toward the bed changes the depth, spreading legs offers clitoral stim, closing legs together makes it tighter. Just experiment and find out what works best for you!

TNT Greenlights Steven Bochco Drama'Murder In The First' To Debut In Summer 2014 9/20/2013 12:46 AM Eastern
TNT has greenlit a new crime drama from Emmy Award-winner Steven Bochco, the network announced Thursday.
The network has ordered 10-episodes of Murder in the First, which stars Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Kathleen Robertson (Boss) as crime detectives assigned to investigate the murder of an apparent drug addict. The victim's connections to a Silicon Valley executive, played by Tom Felton (Harry Potter), leave more questions about the crime than answers.
The series, co-created by Bochco (Hill Steet Blues, LA Law, NYPD Blue, Murder One) and Eric Lodal (The Locrian Mode), will premiere on TNT in summer 2014, according to network officials.

Hi, we're looking to create an online CAD library of our product. Rather then writing one from scratch does anyone know of any pre-compiled php code, or some other web server that is made for sharing DWG's? Something simular to a photo albulm but that can create DWG thumbnails instead of jpg thumbnails?
3 Replies
Oct 15, 2010 at 4:39 UTC
there are a number of Open Source Digital Asset Management products around, though I haven't seen one that can create a thumbnail from a DWG.
most seem to use Imagemagick for thumbnail generation, and it cannot handle DWG.
Your simplest option would probably be to go with one of the Opensource DAMs which will let you add your own thumbnail, and then generate your own thumbnails by screen-grabbing the file when opened in AutoCAD (or suitable DWG viewer).
ResourceSpace is probably worth a look: http://www.resourcespace.org/ I'm not totally certain it'll let you add your own thumbnails, but it's a fairly fully-featured DAM, so will handle most of the document storage and retrieval stuff.
Oct 15, 2010 at 12:49 UTC
Thanks, I'll take a look, but I suspect that generating the jpg's isn't an option.
Something that does DWF's or vector based PDF's would work, though not as well.
Aug 11, 2011 at 4:16 UTC
I believe Autodesk SEEK has an api you can use to do this. Go check it out on their site.
Hope this helps!

This year's NBA Playoffs begin on April 19th, which is just over three weeks. Once again, it's the San Antonio Spurs leading the Western Conference and an equally serious title contender in the Oklahoma City Thunder chasing them for homecourt with a handful of games left. The Thunder will have plenty of special postseason footwear thanks to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and this new Nike Air Force 1 Low with a tonal houndstooth pattern upper dropping one week before the playoff tip will be a nice new option for the OKC fans, recognized as some of the most passionate and informed in the league. Let us know if you plan to cop these among the other April 12th drops and stick with Sneaker News for the latest after you've seen more photos below.

I did that for the sake of clarity, but you could just as easily write: select count(*) from --DERBY-PROPERTIES joinOrder=FIXED time, (select distinct time.id from time, double_sample, band where band.id = double_sample.fk_band_id and double_sample.fk_time_id = time.id and band.id in (11, 12) ) v_hash --DERBY-PROPERTIES joinStrategy=HASH where time.id = v_hash.id; Of course after writing all of that I realized that you said your queries are generated (as opposed to hand-written) and that they "are only representative of my problem. [...] While the above sample query can be easily modified to run well, I'm not sure how to do it in the general case." So maybe this isn't going to work for you, after all... Army

Planting spell, or the art of singing to plants, was the unofficial name given to the spells used by the elves to make plants grow and expand at a rapid pace.
Such spells were typically sung. Presumably, the different intonations and speeds used in the songs were what shaped the plants to look as the elves desired them. Non-elves could also learn to use planting spells, but since they took a lot of energy, only the strongest could and only for small purposes.
Planting spells could be used to accelerate the growth of plants, or cause them to grow in new ways, forming new kinds of flowers or objects. Trees, being made of wood, could be shaped into myriad things. One unusual use was to compress the wood, making it eventually become as hard as steel, but very heavy.
Role in the booksEdit
The elves used planting spells to make almost everything in their domain - houses, buildings, canoes, ships and bows. The entire city of Ellesméra was created by planting spells.
In Brisingr, Eragon used a planting spell to make a flower grow, which he gave to Arya. This was one of the only serious compliments or favors she accepted without halting his advance. the words he used were Eldhrimner O Loivissa nuanen dautr abr deloi, Eldhrimner nen ono weohnatai medh solus un thringa, Eldhrimner un fortha onr feon vara, Wiol allr sjon.

IT Spending Trends in the Japanese Insurance Industry
AbstractTokyo, Japan May 27, 2008
IT investment in Japan's insurance sector is expected to reach JPY 757 billion by March 2008, and JPY 811 billion by March 2012, for a compound annual growth rate of 1.7%. 2012 will be a turning point in IT investment growth, after which a gradual slowdown will occur until spending reaches a steady level.
Japan's insurance market has become increasingly competitive over the past decade through the introduction of structural reforms as well as the infusion of foreign capital. The market has also undergone significant structural changes characterized by the emergence of Internet-based insurance sales and the introduction of third sector products in addition to conventional modes of life and non-life insurance.
According to a new report, , Japan's insurance market looks set to move ahead with the digitization of paper-based information, automation of payment processing, and adoption of workflow tools and content management systems in tandem with revisions of claim and policy administration systems.
Insurance companies have invested heavily in numerous products that support market demands, but have not effectively supported them. Carriers face barriers such as consolidating product lines, creating a strategic approach to wealth management, and complying with J-SOX.
"Both life and non-life insurers are now at the stage where they are revising their future business model strategies. With the melee of the third sector due to life and non-life products flooding the market, insurers must provide customers with the right information and responses in order to remain viable," says Yumiko Manchu, an analyst at Celent and author of the report.
"The recent deregulation of over-the-counter bancassurance presents insurance companies with a powerful sales channel, one which will likely see healthy investment in technology as a result of the need for adequate support in order to realize long-term business opportunities."
This report examines the business environment surrounding the domestic insurance industry in Japan. It looks at IT spending areas in the insurance industry and forecasts future trends.
The 25-page report contains 16 figures and 2 tables. A table of contents is available online.

So the number 11 is having quite a time of it lately. Before this season, it was quite an elusive number. And I thought One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
First, the Steelers defeated the Chargers 11-10, registering the only 11-10 game in the 87-year history of the NFL.
Then the Eagles defeated the Giants 23-11 in their NFC Divisional game yesterday, notching the only 23-11 game in NFL history.
Yes, good old 11 - it's a fine number. It takes 11 players to field a football team. When I was growing up, my house number was 11. My current house number is a multiple of 11.
Pat Haden, Joe Kapp and Phil Simms wore 11. So did Luis Aparicio, Carl Hubbell, Jim Fregosi, Paul Waner, Sixto Lezcano, Lenn Sakata and Joe Garagiola.
And, of course, being 11 - it's the loudest number in the universe as well.
One loss. One win. Now all we need is an 11-11 game to make the number 11 the sporting world's preeminent prime number and restore the proper balance to the universe.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes was arrested and charged with domestic violence while vacationing in Hawaii, according to the Maui News.
The alleged assault took place in the couple's bedroom. Reyes' wife told the police he "grabbed her by the neck and shoved her into a sliding-glass door."
Soon after news of his arrest made headlines, the Colorado Rockies issued an official statement about the allegations facing Reyes:

Recommended: NFL Fines Player For Raising Awareness About Domestic Violence
Physical violence and abuse committed by American professional athletes came into spotlight last year following the much-documented controversy involving NFL player Ray Rice.
While domestic violence is no doubt widespread among football players, it's also prevalent in Major League Baseball. Numerous major league players have been accused or charged with domestic violence, but not one of them has been punished by the league in the past 25 years.
However, the trend could change now, after a new policy was instituted in August to discipline players for acts of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
MLB and the MLBPA have announced an agreement on a Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. pic.twitter.com/C1eTGljC6r — MLB Communications (@MLB_PR)
August 21, 2015
Reyes, who is due $48 million over the next two seasons, could be the first MLB player to be subject of the new policy. He is currently out on bail.

The telecom's revenues and net profits fall short of analyst expectations.
Etisalat earnings decline as it loses mobile customers
Etisalat says it has lost mobile subscribers and has posted revenues and net profits that are short of analyst expectations. In a filing to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, the UAE's largest telecommunications operator reported a net profit of Dh1.99 billion (US$541.8 million) in the first quarter of this year on revenues of Dh7.94bn. In the first quarter of last year, it posted a net profit of Dh2.17bn.
Etisalat said it had 7.71 million mobile subscribers, slightly down from the previous three months where it reported 7.74 million. The company also lost 10,000 fixed-line subscribers, but added 50,000 internet users in its domestic market. Simon Simonian, a telecoms analyst with Shuaa Capital, expected Etisalat to report Dh7.51bn in revenues and Dh2.1bn in net profit. But Etisalat said its revenues for the latest period were up 5 per cent, or Dh379m, compared with the same quarter last year.
The company is expected to report detailed figures on Wednesday. The country's second-largest telecoms operator, du, is expected to report its first-quarter figures within weeks. In a research note this month, Mr Simonian said Etisalat's bottom line in the latest quarter would be boosted by the absence of start-up costs related to the launch of its Indian subsidiary. The company recently started a mobile service in India under the Cheers Mobile brand and is participating in the country's auction of its 3G wireless spectrum after submitting a deposit of 4.27 billion rupees (Dh352.2m).
"We are expecting flat year-over-year revenue and [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation] for UAE operations," Mr Simonian said. email@example.com

Winners and Losers under the current CBA (Part 3)
Graphic Comments
September 17 2012 07:57AM
This is Part 3 in a series on the winners and losers under the current NHL CBA. For all the preamble see Part 1 here, and then Part 2 here.
In the previous posts, I examined how NHL revenues and player expenses have changed over the six years prior to and after the 2004-05 lockout. In Part 3, I take a look at Operating Expenses and the resulting Operating Income, over the same time period. I guess you could say this is the money shot. But you probably shouldn't.
So lets continue on this journey into the heart of darkness that is the murky world of NHL finances. But I swear, if I find a feverish and delirious Bruce McNall in a jungle compound at the end of this, I'm going to be really freaked out.
September 14 2012 07:55PM
With all the hoopla surrounding the lockout on the horizon and the Economics of the arena dominating the news, the Sports Section looks more like the Business Section these days. Who doesn't love a riveting cost analysis diagram where there should be a breakdown of the Oilers training camp line up? And we would rather see an interview with Fehr and Bettman wearing rumpled suits and rumplier faces than the Nuge all sweaty and talking about skating any day.
Anywhoo, we thought we would pose a question as it relates to a conundrum for the Nation if this is how things are going to be. An entire article surrounding the economics of the Nation Network. On a Friday night with no hockey in sight. Bleak huh?
You're welcome.
Flames Forwards Shot Rates - Part 2, Expected Goals
Kent Wilson
September 14 2012 02:56PM
In the first part one of the series, we looked Flames forwards shot rates, mostly with a view to putting the top guys rates in context, both from a team and league perspective. It took me three tries and some helpful comments to ultimately get the chart right, but I blame excel for that.
The follow-up builds on that base to illustrate the effect of possession on individual shot (and goal rates) at even strength as well as gross on-ice totals and ultimately goal differential. This exercise puts some flesh on the bones of corsi/possession theory for those who wonder about the practical applications of that sort of advanced analysis.

This is Part 2 in a series on the winners and losers under the current NHL CBA. For all the preamble see Part 1 here.
In first post, I examined at how NHL revenues have changed over the six years prior to and after the 2004-05 lockout. In Part 2, I take a look at Player Expenses and the resulting Gross Income, over the same time period.

(This was originally published at NHLNumbers, but I felt it warranted wider distribution. The rest of the series will be published at NHLNumbers.)
So, just why are we on the brink of yet another NHL lockout? This graph provides a pretty good explanation.
But not many are really digging into the financial ins and outs of the NHL's internal economy. Instead, there's plenty of finger pointing going on between the two sides, by the media, and among the fans. Especially the rabble on Twitter, whose "uninformed ramblings" are inconsequential to the outcome, according to NHL deputy commissioner, Bill Daly. And in truth, he's quite right. He just doesn't have to be so rude about it.
But that's for another post on another day with altogether more amateurly hand-drawn charts. Today we're sticking with good old Excel as we go inside the NHL's finances; or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof, as compiled by our good friends at Forbes in their annual list of NHL team valuations. What do the financial performance metrics tell us about what differentiates the winners from the losers in today's NHL?
