Syrians celebrate defeat of ISIL in Manbij, recount horrors of executions
People in Syria's Manbij City are celebrating their liberation from ISIL militants. But some locals recounted the horrors of the ISIL rule. Earlier, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces took control of the city, which was ISIL's previous stronghold. Over 2,000 civilian hostages were freed. ISIL was said to have held the hostages as human shields.

text: Armand Larive Middle School The story behind ALTV Armand Larive [LAR-vee] Television (ALTV) is the student-produced video program of Armand Larive Middle School (ALMS) in Hermiston, Oregon. ALTV is open to all eligible 7th and 8th graders. As a prerequisite, students must complete a nine-week course on video news production. Eligibility thereafter is based on a history of trustworthiness, a strong work ethic, and citizenship. No auditions are required. ALTV produces three programs: -- ALTV News (1 or 2 times per month) -- Morning announcements (daily) -- Livestreaming of school and community events The original ALTV began in 1997 under the direction of school counselor Andy Bowers. Using primitive equipment, the show aired brief live announcements every Friday on a closed circuit television system. Shortly after Mr. Bowers' departure in 2010, the equipment failed, and the show was suspended. No recordings of the original show are known to exist. In 2012 the show returned as a class elective in a completely revamped format. With 30 students, one camera, and one microphone, the new ALTV premiered on January 30, 2012, making its worldwide debut on SchoolTube. These weekly shows were primarily a mixture of school announcements, news stories, and 'skits.' In January 2013, ALTV joined U.S. Education TV and became an affiliate of the Student Television Network (STN). In March 2013, ALMS was recognized as Best Middle School with a $5,000 award from U.S. Education TV. This award money was used to upgrade equipment to prepare for livestreaming. ALTV's first live program over the internet took place on May 28, 2013. In late 2013, the ALTV show became more structured. Skits were phased out and a greater emphasis was placed on storytelling. Gradually, 'ALTV' became 'ALTV News,' and the school announcements were moved to the new 'Morning Announcements' program. In addition, ALTV began to livestream home athletic events, including a few high school games. Today, ALTV livestreams more than 70 events or 100 hours of programming per year. In March 2016, 11 ALTV students attended the STN Convention in Atlanta. This was the first time ALTV had participated in the convention since joining STN in 2013. In April 2016, ALTV moved its programming from U.S. Education TV to the new ESE Networks platform. If you would like more information on ALTV, please contact us.

Personal Info
Drupal Site Builder and Project Manager for education sites since 2009 specializing in the development of K12 websites. Father of two great kids who left the nest to go discover what they want to do with their lives and a husband to a wonderful wife who puts up with my eccentricities. In addition to what I do for a living, I am an adventure-seeker whether is is backpacking, mountain climbing, sailing, trail running, obstacle course racing, or traveling to meet people from different cultures. Though I started out as a journalist and photographer, I have been a high school journalism teacher, a communications instructor, an instructional technology trainer, and a website creator.
I discovered Drupal as a result of transitioning school districts from proprietary software to something we could develop and build on in-house without fear of a third-party company going under. All of our sites are hosted in our data center about 20 feet from my office. As a non-profit owned and governed by the school districts we serve, we can guarantee longevity of their sites. What started out as an interest in how the internet worked has developed into a career that keeps me interested. Prior to creating web sites, I had about a 5-year attention span with different jobs. Now, every day is something new and different!
In my off time, I enjoy listening to jazz on vinyl, experimenting with Ableton to make music, shooting and editing film, and going to concerts. Can't stand watching mindless TV or news. Give me a film that I can't guess the plot in the first 5 minutes and I'm good.
Oh, I also like long walks on the beach and toasting the sunset.

Comment of the Day: Beans and Chili
It's official. Whenever the subject of beans and chili comes up, things get heated, fast, even in a post about "Yankee Chili." Commenter Christopher was particularly passionate:
I've had chili sans beans--not a fan. To me, chili has to be hearty and thick, and cubed beef in hot sauce is not hearty, nor thick. Chili is chili, not soup, not stew. Chili. When I eat, I'm going for taste, not "authenticity." It's eating, not antiquing, damn it. Fuck you no beans bastards.
Surely the "no beans bastards" will be silenced for good. A major award to you, sir.

Hudson Vacation Packages
Hudson is located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) away from Minneapolis - St. Paul, a an important city in the United States of America.
Remember, limiting yourself to just one place will only ever provide you with a narrow window into the broader rhythms and life-ways of a region. So try to set aside some time to explore Northwest Wisconsin's range of attractions. Afton Alps Ski Area and Afton State Park which are in and around Afton, are interesting places to visit. Afton, is approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) from Hudson. Another option is to head to Hastings. It's roughly 17 miles (27 kilometers) from Hudson and is home to the Vermillion Falls Park and Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center.
Get some transportation head to St. Paul, a shopping and transport center for the region, situated about 16 miles (26 kilometers) away from Hudson. The city offers plenty of points of interest, including Landmark Center, F. Scott Fitzgerald House and Minnesota History Center. University of St. Thomas, Minnesota State Fairgrounds and Fort Snelling State Park are also good spots for checking out before returning to Hudson.
If you plan on arriving and departing by air, it's handy to remember that the closest major airport is Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport, 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the west of Hudson.
Accommodation in Hudson
The perfect place to stay often means memorable vacations. Why not check out a selection of the most popular lodging deals in Hudson on Expedia's user-friendly Hudson hotels page.
The Holiday Inn Express St. Croix Valley, 2190 Us Highway 8, and the Comfort Suites, at 2620 Center Dr, are great examples of higer ranking Hudson accommodation options. If those options don't grab you, the Econo Lodge, 1207 Saint Croix Street, and the River Valley Inn & Suites, 1030 N Cascade Street could suit your requirements better.

ATLANTIC CITY - State Sen. Jim Whelan's legislation placing tougher restrictions on messenger- and absentee-ballot laws has been criticized by Republicans as being too late and too lenient. You can now add "too inclusive" to that list.
Local Republicans say ex-convicts should be prohibited from handling messenger ballots, which are designated for sick or confined voters. The prior criminal records of those recently arrested for allegedly submitting fraudulent messenger ballots in Atlantic City's Democratic primary for mayor serve as a good example of the problems that can arise, they say.
"Should ex-cons be allowed to handle messengers? Of course not," said Keith Davis, head of Atlantic County's Republican Committee.
New Jersey allows ex-convicts to re-register to vote as long as they are not in lock-up, on parole or on probation. Some states prohibit ex-convicts from voting after they have been fully released, often a holdover from exclusionary Jim Crow-era laws such as poll taxes and ballot-box literacy tests. By state law, if a person is eligible to vote, that person can handle a messenger ballot.
But some local Republicans say it is necessary to add restrictions on voters with criminal pasts, both to eliminate the potential for misconduct when handling ballots and to get Republicans to their ultimate goal.
"What we have always fought for is to make (the ballot delivery) limited to direct family members," Davis said.
Assemblyman Vince Polistina, R-Atlantic, said he would support a clause that barred ex-convicts from handling ballots unless they were delivering for an immediate family member.
Whelan, D-Atlantic, said Sunday that he sympathizes with both sides of the argument but that nit-picking would not result in legislative change.
"If we wait around for the perfect bill, we'll never have a bill," he said.
Whelan's law initially limited messengers to delivering one ballot, but it was later increased to five. Once the bill went to committee, some called for the number to be doubled. Although Whelan said he still prefers a five-ballot limit, the real problem is when messengers collect an inordinate number of ballots. That problem, he said, will be solved with the new legislation, which went into effect July 1.
Whelan also said the prosecution of abusers will help dismantle a vehicle for corruption that has been a fixture in Atlantic City for nearly a decade.
The Attorney General's Office has arrested five ballot bearers since the June 2 election. Authorities say their investigation is ongoing.
LuQuay Q. Zahir, one of the first ballot bearers arrested, pleaded guilty in 1999 to providing false statements for his gun licenses. Authorities branded him a "straw purchaser," someone who legally buys weapons, then sells them to people who cannot legally own them.
Floyd Tally, arrested June 12 on voter fraud charges, served years in federal prison on charges connected to his involvement with a resort gang known as the Abdullahs. He also has had other law-enforcement problems more recently.
In 2007, he pleaded guilty to three counts of driving without a license after initially facing three tickets for driving with a suspended license. He was fined $1,617.
Weeks later, police arrested Tally in Burlington County and charged him with tampering with public records in connection with allegations dating to June 2002 that he had managed to get two separate New Jersey driver's licenses. He was recently aquitted of those charges.
David Callaway, brother of imprisoned former City Council President Craig Callaway, is under indictment for his alleged involvement in a blackmail scheme against Councilman Eugene Robinson. He has continued to maintain his innocence, as has Tally, who is also charged in that case.

Tom Tomasian's Carvings Are for the Birds
By Tom Vartabedian
DENNISPORT, Mass. — They call Tom Tomasian "the Birdman of Cape Cod" and rightfully so. It is not that he has a passion for feeding these flighty creatures; he brings them to life through an uncanny dexterity that runs in his family.
So good is Tomasian that he is known on the international scene for his remarkable realism that fools even the birds should they meet.
And much of it is crafted from the dentistry tools he left behind with retirement. Some of his more intricate work consists of the Bobwhite Family, joined by a full-sized red-tail hawk, quails, woodcocks and owls.
For the unknowing, the northern bobwhite, Virginia or bobwhite quail is a ground-dwelling bird native to the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.
He will take on smaller specimens like chickadees, goldfinches, kingfishers and sandpipers, adding nuthatches, plovers, swans, Baltimore orioles and partridges to his repertoire.
All have a place in his Audubon family, regardless of species. It's not so much the woodworking that sets him apart from his peers as much as the artistic side.
"The most difficult part is the painting," he admits. "Each bird is a separate challenge, along with the habitat."
Tomasian will use brass, copper, plumber's putty, acrylic and soldering to create leaves, branches, water and woodland floors. Some of the artwork is done with an airbrush.
The prizes he has won rank secondary to the gifts bestowed and the passion of a hobbyist who seeks out new challenges in the study of ornithology. Charities are also a beneficiary of his work.
"I start carving by doing a prototype of each bird," said Tomasian. "I would research pictures, anatomy, habitats and feather layouts. I would make a pattern and sometimes a mock-up in clay to understand the bird three-dimensionally."
Tomasian got started in the 1980s, thanks to his father who carved and his mom who painted them. They started at the Dennis Senior Center and continued from there, passing the craft to their curious son.
Tom Tomasian read and studied other master carvers, joining classes that came along. It took him eight years just to get the basics down. From there came the more intricate strokes.
Tomasian uses either tupelo or basswood for his carvings. He uses a knife and power carver to remove wood. The process can be dusty and he suctions to control the debris.
"My pieces are very special to me," he said. "I try to create a museum piece with each subject. Only recently have I considered selling my work. Ninety pieces are on display in my home and I enjoy sharing them with my friends."
Tomasian and his wife, Martha, are parents to three children, and have eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
After graduating from Tufts Dental School in 1965, he set up a practice on Cape Cod that extended 43 years in West Harwich. His brother, Ralph, joined him in 1969. They sold the practice a year ago.
Martha is also an artist and lends a hand when asked. Together, they will display their work in November at a 2-week show at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth. Tomasian also has another fall show planned at The Green Briar Nature Center in nearby Sandwich.
"Martha's paintings are abstracts that represent a reflection of her soul," Tomasian pointed out. "The colors are magnificent. Her artwork decorates our home and makes it an inspiring place to live."
Apart from his carving, Tomasian is an avid golfer and deals with investments. As for the future, health and family remains top priority. What's his next bird?
"I'm carving a snowy owl that has just finished eating a duck," he reveals. "It's in flight with wings extended and measures up to becoming a complex piece."

[Press Release]
Sourcebooks and March 4th Announce Strategic Partnership
New Venture Will Significantly Expand Sourcebooks Jabberwocky's Nonfiction Program
January 12, 2017—In a deal announced this morning, Sourcebooks has acquired from March 4th all publishing rights for Little Pickle Press, best known for creating books that relate meaningful, complex concepts to children, including the bestselling and award-winning picture book Your Fantastic Elastic Brain by author JoAnn Deak, Ph.D. and illustrator Sarah Ackerley, which has sold more than 250,000 copies, and a multi-award-winning series that includes What Does It Mean To Be An Entrepreneur?® and What Does It Mean To Be Kind?®
Since founding March 4th (formerly, Little Pickle Press) in 2009, Rana DiOrio has sought to create products that inspire character development—traits such as kindness, honesty, bravery, and patience—in young people, and to do so in a socially and environmentally friendly manner. In addition to Deak, Little Pickle is the publisher of a number of bestselling authors, including Shawn Achor, Elizabeth O. Dulemba, and Coleen Murtagh Paratore. Many of the company's titles are multiple award winners, and in 2014 Foreword Reviews named Little Pickle Press Independent Publisher of the Year. In 2015, Little Pickle expanded into the middle grade and young adult markets.
"We are thrilled to partner with Sourcebooks! Dominique and her team embody so many qualities we admire—professionalism, entrepreneurialism, and kindness," said DiOrio. "We couldn't have wished for a better partner in furthering our mission to inspire character development in young people, and we are excited by the tremendous potential made available by our shared vision for the future."
Kelly Barrales-Saylor, who joined Sourcebooks as editorial director for children's nonfiction in June 2016, has been working to quickly build its children's nonfiction program, which has already seen great success with titles like This Book Is Gay, Dear Nobody, and the New York Times bestselling Poetry Speaks to Children series.
"I could not think of a more natural fit than adding Little Pickle Press to our growing children's business," said Barrales-Saylor. "Rana's mission to create books for a better world perfectly syncs with the Sourcebooks vision that books change lives. Little Pickle provides us with the opportunity to partner with a remarkably talented entrepreneur, as well as significantly expand our offering of books that inspire, encourage, and teach young readers."
Little Pickle Press will live as an imprint under Sourcebooks' Jabberwocky brand, the company's children's imprint. The acquisition includes about twenty-five frontlist and backlist titles, which will be available through Sourcebooks beginning February 1. March 4th will work with Sourcebooks to seek out and generate new projects for the Jabberwocky and Little Pickle Press imprints, with new titles to come as soon as spring 2018. DiOrio will continue to run March 4th, Inc., with a focus on creating and acquiring content and developing video, film, and merchandise strategies in support of Sourcebooks and other partners.
"There are opportunities for creating momentum and real change in this industry by having publishers band together to better support booksellers and authors," added Dominique Raccah, CEO and publisher of Sourcebooks. "I've greatly admired Rana's work for years. She has created something really extraordinary, and I am tremendously excited to join efforts with March 4th and the very talented Little Pickle Press authors."

iShopping.pk brings you the best price For DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter 4K Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal With 1 Year iShopping.pk Warranty and Free Shipping all Over Pakistan.
Capture 4K video and take 12-megapixel still photos from the air with the DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter with Integrated Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal. Forgoing the fixed landing gear design found on many earlier quadcopters, the Inspire 1 features a retractable arm system whereby the underside of each prop motor has a foot to act as a landing pod when the arms are lowered. In-flight, the arms lift up to provide the camera an unobstructed 360-degree view. A 3-axis gimbal keeps shots steady and the camera pointed the same direction as the quadcopter banks and turns. The camera records internally to microSDHC/SDXC memory cards (16GB inlcuded) and can also beam a live 720p feed to a mobile device running the DJI Lightbridge app or a monitor or FPV glasses with an HDMI input. One transmitter (radio controller) is included and a second can be added so that one operator can pilot and another can pan and tilt the camera. As with many other multi-rotor systems, the Inspire 1 relies on a GPS-based stabilization system that - thanks to spatial awareness - is able to hold a position even when experiencing wind interference, can compensate for overzealous pilot inputs to help avoid stalling, automatically brings the aircraft home in the event of signal loss or at the press of a button, and makes possible a number of semi-automated flight modes that can be enabled through the app. There is also an "indoor" mode which relies on Optical Flow technology - essentially a special camera - provide stability indoors or in other contexts where GPS is unavailable (Note: certain features will be unavailable in indoor mode). This bundle includes the Inspire 1 along with gimbal and camera, a transmitter, a flight battery, a battery charger, and a tablet holder that mounts on the transmitter. To store and transport the aircraft, a case with fitted cut-outs is included. It holds the Inspire with rotors detached, one or two transmitters, props, spare flight batteries, and more.
What Ready-to-Fly Means
This Inspire 1 bundle comes ready-to-fly (RTF). This means a pre-bound transmitter (radio controller) is included and that no major assembly is required - in particular, no assembly that requires soldering. It is important - as with any multi-rotor - to follow the user guide to ensure proper calibration before embarking on your first flight
Integrated 4K Camera
4K and HD Video Capture
The Inspire 1 Camera shoots 4K video at 24p and 30p, and can shoot HD video frame rates from 24p to 60p. It features a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor with a 94-degree field of view (FOV) lens. This field of view works out to about 20mm in 35mm equivalent, which gives you a wide but not extremely wide or fisheye framing - while not as immersive as a fisheye, this FOV features less distortion and gives the subject more emphasis
3-Axis Gimbal
The camera is mounted via an integrated 3-axis gimbal which uses brushless servo motors to keep the shot stable and the horizon level. The camera pans a full 360-degrees so that no matter which way the quadcopter turns, the camera can remain locked on the subject. Manual panning and tilting can be affected using controls on the transmitter
Live HD View
A real-time feed from the Inspire 1 Camera can be displayed in 720p HD on a mobile device or HDMI monitor, making this it a great choice for FPV (first-person view) flying as well as enabling videographers and photographers to monitor framing from the ground. This is made possible by the inclusion of the DJI Lightbridge system within the flight electronics, which features a range of up to 1.2 miles For connecting an FPV monitor or glasses there is an HDMI port on the transmitter. Plus there is a USB port to keep you mobile device's battery topped up. And included mount allows you to attach a smartphone or tablet directly to the transmitter
Modular Gimbal and Camera
Inspire 1's gimbal and camera can be removed from the aircraft for safe transport and future upgrades
Airframe Design
Retractable Carbon Fiber Arms
The prop arms rest in a lowered position when the Inspire is on the ground, acting as landing gear. Once in the air, they can be retracted to give the camera unobstructed views across 360-degrees. Carbon fiber is used in the construction because of its high strength to weight ratio
Aerodynamic Design
Not only does it give the Inspire 1 a sleek look, the aerodynamic airframe helps reduce resistance for better performance and increased battery life
Flight Control System
Fly Indoors and Without GPS
DJI's Optical Flow technology uses a specially designed camera as well as sonic waves to provide the same stability function indoors as GPS does outdoors. This technology allows the Inspire to hold its location, stop when the controls are released, and quickly respond to pilot commands even when GPS is unavailable
App-Based Control Software
Everything from manual camera controls to flight telemetry - even auto takeoff and landing - can be accessed via the Inspire 1 Mobile app. It is also possible to create autopilot courses using waypoints, just as you would on the DJI iPad Ground Station System Note: The tablet must be connected to the transmitter via USB, and to use the waypoint map an Internet connection is required
Manual Mode
Change all of your camera settings, including ISO, White Balance, Exposure, and more on the fly ensuring every shot looks exactly the way you want
Live Map and Radar
See precisely where your Inspire 1 is at all times on the live map. The map can be enlarged when needed, and shows your most recent flight path
Dynamic Home Point
When GPS signal is available on the transmitter (remote control), the Home Point automatically refreshes. This becomes useful while traveling in a car or on a boat allowing the return-to-home point to move where the operator goes. Multiple configurations are available via the Dynamic Home Point function
Auto-Takeoff and Landing
Takeoff and landing are available with just a tap. Tap once to takeoff and your Inspire 1 will hover and transform, ready to start filming. Then tap again to make it transform into landing mode and auto land
Transmitter Customization
Put yourself in charge by tailoring the Inspire 1's controls to your personal needs. This way, your Inspire 1 moves and responds in ways you're most comfortable with
Transmitter (Radio Controller)
Take control of your Inspire 1 in the air with a dedicated transmitter (radio controller) designed specifically for it. Operating on 2.4 GHz, it features dedicated buttons for photo and video capture, a gimbal control dial, and more. It includes an integrated 6000mAh rechargeable battery
Use Two Transmitters
For an even greater level of precision, use a second transmitter and fly with a friend. With two people controlling the same quadcopter, one person pilots the flight path while the other aims the gimbal and camera. Each user can have their own screen to see exactly what is being shot in real-time
Smart Battery System
Smart Power Management
The flight battery constantly supplies the flight computer with remaining voltage. Using special algorithms the computer supplies the pilot with estimates of remaining flying distance and time to return home
Automated Charging
The battery tracks the voltage of each cell, the total number of charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status

text: Rentech, Inc. (NASDAQ: RTK) today issued the following statement in response to a press release issued by Engaged Capital, LLC (Engaged) and Lone Star Value Management, LLC (Lone Star) on February 13, 2014. Rentech is committed to having a highly qualified and experienced board. The Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the Committee) has commenced its annual process to evaluate nominees for Board seats, with the goal of selecting and nominating the most qualified candidates. The Committee is in the process of evaluating a number of candidates, including those identified by Engaged and Lone Star. Engaged and Lone Star have refused to participate in the Committee's selection process. Following a number of discussions between the Company and Engaged, on January 8, 2014, the Board invited Glenn Welling of Engaged to a meeting with the Committee. Engaged declined this invitation. To complete its nominating process, the Committee will present its recommendations to the full Board of Directors before the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which has not yet been scheduled. The Board will then nominate candidates that it believes will best serve the interests of the Company and all of its shareholders. The Company will provide details of the Board's recommended nominees in its proxy statement and other related materials, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and mailed to all stockholders eligible to vote at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Rentech has also communicated with Engaged and Lone Star regarding their request for an exemption under the Company's Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, including that Rentech and its outside tax advisors are in the process of evaluating the request. This analysis has been complicated by recent changes in relevant regulations. Rentech is always open to constructive input from shareholders and continues to actively communicate with its shareholders. Based on those active dialogues, the Company is executing its announced strategy to expand the fibre processing business and progress towards a potential IPO as a master limited partnership based on the fibre business in less than two years. The Company looks forward to communicating further with its shareholders over the coming months about its plan and outlook, and will provide more detailed updates when Rentech releases fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial results on March 11, 2014.

R&D Activities and Export Performance of Indian Private Firms
This paper formulates a model of optimal export decision of private firms and then empirically studies the effect of firm size, R&D activities and competitiveness on export performance of Indian private firms during the period 1975-1986. The paper argues that the Cragg model is more appropriate to model firms' export behavior than the commonly used Tobit model. The evaluation of the export promotion and partial import liberalization policies of 1980 based on the Tobit model is found to be qualitatively quite different from the evaluation based on the Cragg model. The LR and LM specification tests reject the Tobit model against the Cragg model in all specifications.

Freezing temperatures are expected to create hazardous driving conditions for families looking to travel on the half-term getaway.
Temperatures across eastern England are forecast to be close to or below 0C overnight, with a mix of snow, sleet and rain also set to trouble motorists. Up to 25cm of snow fell in parts of Kent and East Sussex on Thursday, with more wintry showers expected over the next few days.
The Met Office warned of widespread ice in eastern England, while motorists were told to take extra care on slippery roads.
The cold spell is likely to remain for the next week, according to John Hutchinson, forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association. But he said there was unlikely to be a repeat of the heavy snow that hit parts of the south east of England this week.
"There will be wintry showers around in eastern England into the weekend - a mix of rain, sleet and snow," he said.

We report on evanescently coupled Ge waveguide photodetectors that are grown on top of Si rib waveguides. A Ge waveguide detector with a width of 7.4μm and length of 50 μm demonstrated an optical bandwidth of 31.3 GHz at -2V for 1550nm. In addition, a responsivity of 0.89 A/W at 1550 nm and dark current of 169 nA were measured from this detector at -2V. A higher responsivity of 1.16 A/W was also measured from a longer Ge waveguide detector (4.4 × 100 μm2), with a corresponding bandwidth of 29.4 GHz at -2V. An open eye diagram at 40 Gb/s is also shown.

Johannesburg - A ten-year-old boy drowned in a public pool in Motherwell, Eastern Cape on Saturday, paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokeswoman Santi Steinman said paramedics arrived to find the child had already died. Over 45 people have drowned in the Eastern Cape since the beginning of December.
Most of the incidents happened in the Tsitsa and Mzimvubu rivers while others drowned in the Buffalo and Swartkops rivers, at Bluewater Bay, at Tina Falls, and in various dams. - Sapa

It's been proved that Botox helps with migraine headaches, a debilitating condition. The reason isn't exactly clear, but I suspect that the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox has something to do with it. Another theory is that Botox has a positive effect on the pain transmitters in the face. A few years ago I treated a patient who I thought was exaggerating when she said her headache had disappeared immediately after she was injected with Botox. Today, however, I'm a believer in this application. Recently another patient told me that her crippling headaches had kept her home from work for two weeks and that to her, Botox was truly heaven-sent. Even one of the nurses in my Miami office uses Botox for this purpose; her headaches are so severe that she often has to turn off the lights in her office and rest her head. For many, the instant relief that Botox delivers in just a shot or two—with relief lasting as long as four months— is far more desirable than taking an endless stream of pain medication. Of course, no one complains about the side benefits!

Benefits of Mechanical Ventilation System
Natural ventilation has its shortcoming: on days when there is little wind, some parts of the house will be poorly ventilated; on cold days, the incoming air may be too cold for comfort; or you may have hay fever and need to shut windows during the pollen season. The effects of inadequate ventilation include increased interior humidity and higher levels of interior pollutants.

Girls' soccer: Tartans get another shot at Spartans (photos)
Scotia-Glenville will get another postseason shot at Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake.
And this time, it will be for the Section II Class A girls' soccer title.
The Lady Tartans got a goal in the second overtime from Rachael Cox to beat Foothills Council rival South Glens Falls, 1-0, in the first semifinal Wednesday night at Stillwater High School.
The Lady Spartans, who ended Scotia's last three seasons in the semifinal round, defeated Mohonasen, 6-0, in the other semi to set up Saturday's 1 p.m. championship game here.
Cox, a senior defensive midfielder, gave 14-3-1 Scotia a win in the rubber match of three games this season between the league rivals when her 30-yard shot got under South Glens Falls goalkeeper Amy Jagerski with 4:57 left in the second overtime.
"I knew were running out of time," Cox said. "I thought I'd give it a shot. I thought she had it, and then I saw it in the back corner, and all I could do was scream."
"You knew it was going to be a tight, one-goal type of game," said Scotia coach Lise Williams. "It could have gone either way, depending on whoever was ready to play. Both teams were ready, obviously."
Scotia lost at South Glens Falls, 3-1, then took the league rematch, 1-0, at home. The Scotia defense did what few teams have managed to do this season, holding high-scoring Sammy Blizzard without a goal in their last two meetings.
The job of marking the senior with 126 career goals went to Brooke Creech. Sweeper Ceci
Hyland was also keeping a close eye on Blizzard.
"Ceci played a tremendous game," said Williams. "She's a tenacious player. She doesn't want to get beat, and she's very good in the air."
"It was Brooke's job to mark her, and whenever she [Blizzard] got by, I had to step up and help out," said Hyland.
Hyland, a converted marking back, was one of the most relieved players in maroon when Cox's shot found the net.
"We actually, finally got a goal," Hyland said of her reaction. "It was a good shot, too."
"Their keeper made a couple of great saves, and we failed to score on a couple of good opportunities," said Lady Bulldogs coach Stephen Philo, whose team lost to Burnt Hills in last year's Class A final. "That's the game of soccer. It can be a cruel sport."
"They always give us a good game, and those games make us better," said Hyland. "That's the reason it was a low-scoring game."
Burnt Hills, looking for an eighth consecutive sectional title, wasted little time in dashing the hopes of Mohonasen, making a rare appearance this far into the postseason.
Sophomore Meghan Malone scored twice in the first 15 minutes of the game as the Lady Spartans went out to a 4-0 lead at the half, adding an own goal and the first varsity score by Gigi Flint.
Carly Finn and Skye Kaler added goals early in the second half.
"This time of year, we hit another level," said Burnt Hills coach Brian Bold, whose team is 14-4-0 after a 1-3-0 start. "We're healthy. We're playing well.
"Being here in the past certainly helps. Something happens to us. We get focused. Not that we aren't during the year, but we hit another level."
"Postseason is the best part of the season for us," Malone said.
Morgan Burchhardt did not score a goal, but occupied the Lady Warriors' defense and set up chances for her teammates all game.
"She put balls on a rope to kids. She saw holes in the center that other kids would never see," Bold said. "She makes everybody around her better."
"I love to play on turf," said Burchhardt, a junior who has committed to Saint Rose. "It's fast and fits our style of play, so it really works well for us."
Mohonasen first-year head coach Vito Urbano was hoping his team would give a better showing.
"I think we're a better team than that, but Burnt Hills is a machine," he said.
"The girls have come a long way this season. Mohonasen has been the punching bag for the Suburban Council for a long time. I told the girls I wanted to win seven games in the Suburban Council this year, and we won six.
"Teams like Burnt Hills, that's where we want to be, but it's going to take time. Nobody can remember the last time Mohonasen got this far in the sectionals."
"I've got to take my hat off to Mohonasen and Vito," Bold said. "He's done a great job this year with that team. They never stopped playing."
Pine leads Panthers
Rachel Pine's goal and three
assists helped top-seeded Hoosick Falls to a 6-1 win over No. 8 Galway in a Class C quarterfinal game played at Schuylerville.
Grace Delurey and Allie Martin both scored twice for the 16-2-0 Panthers, while Jordyn Haynes added a goal and Alice Hayden had an assist. Hannah Fricke made four saves for the reigning state
Galway (12-6-0) got a goal from Abby Spagnola, and Lindsey Naughton made 23 saves.
The Panthers will meet No. 5 Albany Academy (13-5-0) in the semifinals Friday at 4 at Schuylerville. Emily Martin, Maura Mulligan and Valerie Taylor each scored for Academy in a 3-0 win over No. 13 Schoharie, as Emma Malicki set up all three tallies. Anna Bryce had four saves for the shutout. Lindsey Vanier made 15 stops for Schoharie.
In the other half of the bracket, No. 2 Hoosic Valley topped No. 10 Greenwich, 3-1, with goals from Sydney Fitzpatrick, Lauren Madigan and Katie Sanderson. Samantha Carlo made six saves for the Lady Indians, who got a pair of second-half goals to break a 1-1 tie.
The 10th-seeded Witches got a goal from Kayla Thompson and 12 saves from Courtney Harrington.
Hoosic Valley will meet No. 3 Mechanicville, a 2-1 winner over No. 6 Middleburgh, in the other semi, following the Hoosick Falls vs. Academy game.

Subaru Impreza Concept to Inspire All Future Models
Unveiled last week at the LA Auto Show, the Subaru Impreza Design Concept is set to inspire more than just the one compact car. In fact, according to Subaru's top designer Osamu Namba, the vehicle foreshadows a design language that will shape all future Subaru models.
The "Confidence in Motion" design language displayed in the concept will more directly flow through to the Impreza, but Namba says to expect many of the cues to be reflected in the future generation of models, with design traits like the front grille and headlights sure to become staples of Subaru's new vehicles.
In an interview with AutoCar, Namba admitted that in the past there were design "inconsistencies" at Subaru, and the goal is now to bring all models in line, so you'll know a Subaru when you see one. New Subaru models are also expected to get a lower and wider stance from now on, while taller models like the Tribeca and Outback will be varied somewhat. As for the WRX and STI, they will continue to also differentiate themselves from the rest of the lineup, with aggressive race-inspired features.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I encourage you to ask me for clarification, if you are not clear with my Answer.
About 2 years ago I co-signed financing papers for a friend to buy a car. The terms are for four years, I believe. We have since had a falling out and I wish to have my name (obligation) removed from the loan. Is there anyway that I can do this?
Response: Unfortunately not, unless the loan is paid off.

FORT WORTH — A Fort Worth park that was closed due to possible structural damage on a section near the Trinity River could be renovated and reopened by 2016 after an engineering company found no serious problems.
City leaders, assisted by a business and development advocacy group, are moving forward with plans to update Heritage Park Plaza, which closed in 2007, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
An engineering firm's structural assessment of the 112-acre park found no significant safety problems.
Concerns were voiced that the Trinity River bluff was shifting and that this could affect a concrete overlook, catwalk and stairs.
"It was great news," Melissa Konur, planning director with Downtown Fort Worth Inc., said Monday of the report. "We can move forward."
Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives is the arm of Downtown Fort Worth Inc. that provides a funding pathway for charitable, educational and public-purpose activities. It will ask landscape architects and others to propose how to restore and improve Heritage Park Plaza, including estimated costs, with the aim to reopen the main plaza in 2016,Konur said.
The Fort Worth City Council approved $1.5 million in a recent $292 million bond election to cover basic repairs.
About $500,000 in private donations were pledged, according to Downtown Fort Worth Inc.
Engineering firm Freese and Nichols last summer completed a yearlong structural assessment of the park, as well as a soil and tree survey.
The $100,000 study was funded by the Amon Carter Foundation, the Sid Richardson Foundation and Streams and Valleys, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Trinity River.
Greenscape Pump Services of Carrollton, a specialist in commercial water feature construction and consulting, is considering possible repairs to the park's fountains. Fort Worth's water department is expected to replace a leaking water line that runs through the park later this year, the newspaper reported.

Adult Vaccines Market : Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2014 - 2020
Vaccines are used to prevent diseases and improve immunity of the body. A vaccine is a biological preparation, contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is made from weakened and killed forms of microorganisms. Vaccines are categorized into many types. Some of the major types include inactivated vaccines, attenuated vaccines, toxoid and conjugate. Cholera, influenza, hepatitis A, polio and rabies vaccines are inactivated vaccines. Key attenuated vaccines are measles, mumps, rubella and typhoid.
The global adult vaccines market is categorized based on their various types and by diseases. Adult vaccines are mainly classified into preventive and therapeutic vaccines. The disease segment includes influenza, meningococcal, cervical cancer, zoster shingles, pneumococcal, hepatitis, measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) and diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP).
Interested in report: Please follow the below the links to meet your requirements; Request for the Report Sample:http://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/3472
In terms of geographic, North America and Europe dominates the global adult vaccines market. This is due to improved research infrastructure in these regions. The U.S. represents the largest market for adult vaccines followed by Canada in North America. In Europe, France and Germany holds major share of adult vaccines market. However, Asia is expected to show high growth rates in the next five years in the global adult vaccines market due to increasing awareness among people about preventable diseases. Several government associations have launched various programs to raise awareness among people towards diseases such as influenza, DTP, measles and mumps, in Asia. This has resulted in significant rise in demand of adult vaccines for the prevention of these diseases. In addition, many companies constructing their manufacturing and research facilities in the region. This is due to low wages, availability of a large talent pool, less stringent environment and health and safety regulations in the region. Japan, China and India are expected to be the fastest growing adult vaccines markets in Asia.
In recent time, increasing prevalence of diseases and novel vaccine technologies are some of the major drivers for the global adult vaccines market. In addition, increased research in the field of vaccine technologies and increasing government supports are also supporting in growth of the global adult vaccines market. Several government associations are providing funds and grants to increase research on specialized vaccines to improve their efficacy and disease prevention capability. Moreover, some government associations are also providing specific guidelines for their safe usage. Increased R&D investment in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and Extensive R&D pipelines also have strong positive impact on global adult vaccines market.
However, high capital requirements and lack of technical professionals are some of the major restraints for the global adult vaccines market. In addition, stringent regulations and limited vaccines production are also hampering the growth of global adult vaccines market. Risk of side-effects and complications associated with vaccinations also obstructs the growth of global adult vaccines market. Some of the major side-effects include muscle ashes, pain around the injection site and fever. Advancement in biomedical science would develop opportunity for global adult vaccines market. Increasing mergers and collaborations between manufacturing companies and government associations and rapid product launches are some of the major trends of the global adult vaccines market.

See Cara Delevingne as a Pretty Mermaid (Er, Mermaids...?) in the Newest Trailer for 'Pan'
There are two of her!
No, you're not seeing double. The newest trailer for Peter Pan adaptation Pan is here and its star-studded cast is on full display. Rooney Mara, Amanda Seyfried, Hugh Jackman, and Garrett Hedlund all star, with model/actress/person who doesn't sleep Cara Delevingne joining the mix.
Delevingne plays a mermaid—or rather, more than one mermaid...—in the magical world of Neverland. (Oh, and Jackman plays Blackbeard, Mara plays Tiger Lily, Seyfried plays Mary and Hedlund plays Hook.)

Every time he comes over and walks past me (within a 3 feet range), there is a horrid stench of body odor smacking me in the face. I try not to make a face and i do tell my sister but then she says she "doesn't smell anything bad"... Maybe it's his long hair thats making hims sweat a little extra?
So I'm wondering, is there a connection between smelling a person's BO and finding it revolting versus being attracted to them and being around them and not smell the BO at all?
(opposites attract like protons and electrons?)

Yuuuuup phermones. They're released all the time but tend to be stronger when you sweat I believe. When you're attracted to someone and see them as a potential mate etc etc you'll like the way it smells, when you don't then their BO is terrible to you. It's why your family members always seem to smell terrible to you. It's the body's way of preventing you from mating with people who have similar genetics so you dont produce offspring with higher chances of disabilities.21|10|0
