New Mobile Products From CableWholesale Help People Get Maximum Value From Their Mobile DevicesMicro USB OTG Adapter Connects Mobile Devices and USB Peripherals; Micro SD Reader Quickly Transfers Files From Smartphones to PCs (March 15, 2012)
LIVERMORE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/12 -- Two new products from CableWholesale increase the capabilities and functionality of smartphones and other mobile devices. The new Micro USB OTG (On The Go) adapter transforms a mobile device into a USB-capable one, letting the user operate USB peripherals from a smartphone or other mobile device. The Micro SD keychain reader quickly and conveniently transfers data such as photos and video from a smartphone to a PC. Both products are available now and ship the same day in most cases.
The Micro USB OTG 5-pin adapter connects USB peripherals to portable electronic devices, letting the user operate keyboards, mice, flash drives and the like from a smartphone, tablet or e-Reader that has a Micro USB 5-pin connection. For example, the adapter provides an easy way to share information between a smartphone and removable thumb drive over the phone's Micro USB connection. The actual functions depend on the devices' operating systems and applications. The 4.5-inch Micro USB OTG adapter retails for US$3.97.
The Micro SD keychain reader allows the user to quickly and easily transfer files between a phone or digital camera and a PC. The reader plugs into the USB port of the PC, eliminating the need for a data cable. Files can be "dragged and dropped" at 480Mbits, writing directly to the card often faster than most cables. The reader can also be used to display content on a DLNA-enabled TV. Because the device comes with a keychain, it can hang from a phone or key ring for added convenience. The 25x13.25x3.8mm Micro SD keychain reader is available in four colors (black, white, pink and blue) for between US$2.15 and US$3.98.
Most of CableWholesale's mobile accessories are conveniently searchable on the website's Device Wizard section.
That section lists accessories for cell phones from more than 23 manufacturers, including Apple, BlackBerry, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung. Visitors need only click on their phone's name to find virtually everything that works with it, including cables, earphones, keyboards and Bluetooth products.
Lifetime Warranty and Triple Quality Check
Like all CableWholesale products, the new Micro USB OTG adapter and Micro SD keychain reader come with a lifetime warranty. All CableWholesale products are checked three times before shipping to assure they meet the company's quality standards.

Michael Craig Clemmens, PhD,
is a psychologist and trainer in Pittsburgh, Pa. He is a faculty member of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland and teaches at the Metanoia Institute in London, and at Esalen. He is the author of Getting Beyond Sobriety, and numerous articles on Gestalt therapy, body process, and addiction.
Legacy Group - Embodied Relational Gestalt
"We develop relationships with ourselves and others through the physicality of our vision, smell, touch, and movement," says Michael Clemmens. "These relationships, or dances, shape what we believe is possible and how we behave in the present. In this program, our focus will be on the ways in which we create relationships through our bodies. By attending to our present dance with others, we can become more aware of our existing context and optional ways of interacting.
A Different Perspective: Reframe Your Life Using Play, Embodiment and Humor
It is all too easy to stay stuck in a rut, unable to see or do things differently even when we know we want to change. Join storyteller Ann Randolph and somatic psychologist Michael Clemmens for a weekend of new insights and creative, fun practices designed to jump start change in your life. This is a bold, alternative approach that supports deep process and joyful exploration.
Work Study - Gestalt Group Process
This month-long program is focused on Gestalt as a group process. Gestalt offers the opportunity to experience and explore our own process in relation to others and the context of the present moment. We will create a group that can contain the varieties of each person's unique way of being and allow us to experience the power of the greater whole, the group. Because of the importance of creating an ongoing collective, it is crucial that all participants regularly attend each session.
No prior with Gestalt or group process is necessary.

Couple of formatting questions for you Sam, since I came over to rate it and some things stood out at me (and I don't know if we're doing things differently on the 4e side).
Is there a reason you're using a different author block here, or did it just not get changed in the move? About half of those categories seem unused, and the remainder are well supported in the author template. Also, I can't do the cool favor / rated by things with this one :-(.
Would you mind if I (or you for that matter) changed the subpage names to match the convention on the 3e side of things? It would look like "Arachonomicon; the Book of Spiderkind/All About Spiderkind", for example, and would make your table of contents links look like "{{FULLPAGENAME}}/All About Spiderkind#<Whatever>". Surgo or I will get around to it eventually if you don't feel like it but have no objections to it.
- The author block is from the other wiki, and hasn't been changed (I'll fix that now). I'll go through and fix the page headings now, while I'm at it... I'm snowed in right now and haven't got much else to do! -- Sam Kay talk contribs email 12:27, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
|Tarkisflux's Favor
|This article has been favored and rated Excellent by Tarkisflux, for the following reasons: Wow. There is a lot to love in this, even if you don't play 4e very much (like I don't). The ideas here are well presented and easy to convert, and the lovingly crafted fluff makes me want to do the work. This is an excellent sourcebook, either to use as is or to mine for ideas to make spiders in your games more than just crawly things.
|Jota II's Favor
|This article has been favored and rated Good by Jota II, for the following reasons: There is a lot to like here, and I wish I could judge from a more balanced perspective, but knowing as little as I do about 4e that's unfortunately not in my capacity. Though a lot of this looks quite good on the surface, I feel there is a certain information overload aspect to parts of it, where some information is nice to have but ultimately not interesting and other information could benefit from being further segmented onto separate, unique pages or sub-pages, most notably in the first chapter. Later on, I think incorporating the other articles into the page as templates with {{Article Name}} (while still trying to keep the page lengths reasonable) might be better than constantly linking away from the chapter.

Coffee Flavoring
The life in the twenty-first century can be hard, businesses move at a rapid pace, and there are only 24 hours in a day to get tasks done. With such a fast-paced life, it's not surprising to see the average American indulge in at least 4 cups of coffee every single day, and while most of the American's like to take their coffee black, others like to add a little flavor to their beverage. There are many ways to take a coffee; this versatile food item can be used in drinks, hot beverages and even other food items such as desserts and fizzy drinks. The original flavor of coffee beans is dark, rich and strong. For some people, this can be a tad too bitter, and they like to spice up the game by combining and merging it with different flavors that can store the rich aroma of coffee but change the flavor to their liking.
Vanilla flavored coffee
Flavored coffee beans can be found in the coffee aisle of the almost departmental store, and is relatively easy to find. There are many options available to consumers now; however the most common is vanilla flavored coffee. For people who do not like to use creamers, or one's who relish the taste of vanilla extract in coffee, this flavor can be an absolute delight. You can simply brew the vanilla extract coffee beans in warm water, add creamer or even take it directly on its own.
Hazelnut coffee flavor
Another popular flavor on the market is hazelnut coffee flavor. The nutty and crunchy flavor of hazelnuts really goes well with coffee and brings out a unique and ravishing flavor. The bitterness can also be cut down greatly by adding hazelnut in the coffee, moreover, for people who like strong coffee tastes, this one is a must have. The taste is rather rich and heartwarming. How to make hazelnut coffee is rather easy, you can either purchase a packet of the flavored coffee beans; make a large batch in your coffee maker to give you that warm wake-up kiss in the morning. Or you can make it directly at home! To do so, simply grind up some hazelnuts and mix it into your coffee beans jar. When you brew your coffee in the morning, the flavor of the nuts will seep through and give your coffee a light and delicious flavor. This hazelnut coffee recipe is rather easy to implement, and if you'd rather have an easier routine than ground up hazelnuts every day, you can even make a hazelnut syrup.
How to make hazelnut syrup for coffee
Simple, take a little a quarter teaspoon of butter and simmer it in a pan, next add powdered hazelnut and cook for a minute. Add sugar or maple syrup for sweetness, and add water to increase consistency.
Cocoa powder in coffee
Another common element in flavored coffee is cocoa beans or powders. These give out a chocolaty and rich flavor to your morning brew. How to make chocolate flavored coffee is easy as well, you simply have to add cacao powder to your morning batch of coffee and it will give out an excellent flavor. Moreover, there are many chocolate flavors you can play around with. You can use either dark chocolate or brown chocolate. Some people also like to use white chocolate in their coffee as it cuts the need to use creamers. Homemade flavored coffee beans are much cheaper for most people and also hold on to the taste longer than commercial brands. Moreover, they are free from preservatives that are present in commercial coffees in order to hold on to the flavor longer, hence much healthier for you.
Cinnamon coffee flavor
To make a rather spicy latte or coffee for the strong hearted people, the cinnamon coffee flavor is a great choice. Cinnamon infused coffee beans are available on the market and can be found easily. Moreover, cinnamon sticks also work really well with coffee and give an exciting touch to a rather plain beverage.
Imagine waking up to the aroma and scent of cinnamon coffee, sounds great right? If cinnamon infused beans can't be found in the store, you can make your own as well. Simply put a little coffee powder in the coffee maker and add half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder. The best thing about this drink is the splendid aroma.
These flavors of coffee are the most popular with people, however, there are many different flavors of coffee one can choose from such as strawberry, almond nut, and even raspberry. As with anything authentic and natural coffee, flavoring is favored by most coffee lovers.

WHAT'S DOING IN: Lucerne
By PAUL HOFMANN;
Published: July 21, 1991
Countrywide celebrations are marking the 700th anniversary of Switzerland's birth, and this summer's Lucerne Festival of music comes in the middle of them. On Aug. 1, 1291, delegates from three forest districts hugging Lake Lucerne banded together in a treaty of mutual assistance against foreign encroachment -- interference by the House of Hapsburg. The document enshrining the Everlasting League can be viewed in the Archives of the Federal Charters in the town of Schwyz near the lake's eastern shore.
Lucerne, which during the Middle Ages grew from a fishing village and Benedictine abbey into a trade center, joined the Everlasting League in 1332 as its fourth member and first city. Prosperous Lucerne has 60,000 inhabitants today while as many more live in its metropolitan area.
The picture-postcard city commands spectacular views of the lake, the broad Reuss River flowing out of it, and towering peaks left and right, most notably the 5,896-foot-high Rigi and the 6,985-foot rock pyramid of the Pilatus. On clear days the stone ramparts and glaciers of the St. Gotthard massif and the Bernese Oberland can be seen on the southern horizon.
Great orchestras will perform during the Lucerne International Music Festival Weeks, Aug. 17 to Sept. 11.
Historically, the Lucerne event is an offshoot of the Salzburg Festival: Five months after Hitler invaded Austria in 1938, Arturo Toscanini and other anti-Nazi Salzburg stars started the first series of music offerings in the hospitable Swiss city. By now Lucerne has to some extent become a rival to Salzburg although the Swiss classical-music parade, unlike the Austrian one, produces no operas.
The Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra with Riccardo Chailly conducting, the Berlin Philharmonic with Claudio Abbado, the Israel Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta, the Vienna Philharmonic with Lorin Maazel will be among the renowned groups performing at 16 symphony concerts. There will also be chamber music, recitals by soloists and sacred music. Mozart in his bicentennial year will of course be heard in the programs, but works by Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Wagner, Mahler and others will also be performed.
The modern Kunsthaus, a combined art museum and auditorium on the lakefront, will be the setting for most concerts. Tickets for the symphony evenings cost $14 to $220, for other festival performances $7 to $83. Information: phone 233-562. Getting There
The quickest way to reach Lucerne from the United States is flying to Zurich and then proceeding by railroad or car. Direct trains link Zurich with Lucerne every hour. The trip takes 50 minutes and costs $10.46 in second class and $16.92 in first. The ride by car on highways N3 and N4 lasts less than an hour. Walking Tour
The Hauptbahnhof (rail terminal), just completely rebuilt and enlarged by an underground mall with shops and eating places, is a convenient starting point for exploring Lucerne in a couple of hours. Walk across the modern Lake Bridge, turning right to the Church of St. Leodegar, a Renaissance edifice flanked by two older Gothic towers. "Lucerne" is believed to be a corruption of the name of the city's patron saint.
Proceed northward to the Lion Monument, the oversized sculpture of a dying lion carved into a sheer sandstone wall. It is a tribute to the Swiss mercenaries of King Louis XVI who died while defending the Tuileries in Paris in 1792 during the French Revolution.
Behind the memorial is the Glacier Garden -- 32 huge glacial potholes from the ice age, one 28 feet deep. (4 Denkmalstrasse; phone 514340. Open 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. daily. Admission: $3.85, children $2.30. Adult visitors carrying the guest card that all hotels issue free of charge pay $3.10.)
Turn southwest for a stroll in the Old City with its splendid medieval and Renaissance buildings, the massive 17th-century Town Hall with a stout tower on Kornmarkt (Grain Market) Square, and many quaint lanes and corners.
Walk downstream as far as the wooden, covered Mill Bridge, built in 1408 and somberly decorated in the 17th century with "Dance of Death" paintings. The western embankment affords a splendid view of Lucerne's medieval walls on a slope, with nine towers that are floodlighted at night. Turn southeast to walk past the Baroque twin-belfried Jesuit Church to the 600-foot-long Chapel Bridge. It spans the Reuss obliquely and is Lucerne's principal landmark. The 650-year-old covered wooden bridge, often restored, is adorned with 120 gable paintings representing the legend of St. Leodegar and the origins of the city. The octagonal Water Tower on the bridge's lake side was meant as a defense from waterborne attackers.
Late afternoon is the best time for sauntering along the promenade on the river's northeast bank with its arcades and cafe terraces, and along the tree-lined north shore of the lake past the posh hotels, cafes and flower beds. Museums
Walking farther along the lakeshore, or taking the No. 2 bus, the visitor reaches the Swiss Transport Museum, 5 Lidostrasse (314444). The largest institution of its kind in Europe, it is open 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. daily. Admission: $9.25 (with guest card, $8.45), children $4.60. On display in 12 modern buildings and adjoining open spaces are historic mail coaches, steam locomotives, bikes, autos, aircraft, space vehicles and modern telecommunications equipment. Some families spend a whole day in the complex, attending audiovisual presentations and a planetarium performance, having lunch or a snack in one of the restaurants and browsing in the souvenir shop.

I was bored the other day and decided to make this meme.
in case you've never played this game this game is obviously about a ninja on a quest to save the world. anyways this game has three difficulty options and they are normal, hard and my favorite hero mode. I love playing this game on hero mode because you practically can never die if you play the game under this difficulty setting. you can get hit a million times but nevertheless your health will never go down all the way and you will always stay standing on your two feet. the only way you can die in this mode is if you jump off a cliff or fail to evade any of the bosses's critical attacks.
so I figured how fun and meaningful would by life be knowing that no matter what I go through in life I will always stand on my two feet and be bound to succeed at whatever it is that I chose to succeed at. but of course I'm pretty sure not everybody shares this mentality with me so what video game do you wish your life was based on?

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree challenged General David Petraeus yesterday about whether the war in Afghanistan is making America safer or not. Pingree questioned Petraeus, the top military commander in Afghanistan, during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday afternoon.
"I disagree on the premise that our continued military presence in Afghanistan actually strengthens our national security," Pingree said. "Since the surge of troops in southern and eastern Afghanistan started, we have seen only increased levels of violence, coupled with an extremely incompetent and corrupt Afghan government. Continuing with this surge and increasing the level of American forces will have the same result-more American lives lost and we will be no closer to success."
"The American people remain very skeptical that continuing to put their sons and daughters in harm's way in Afghanistan is worth the price being paid and I think they have good reason to feel that way," she said.
Pingree cited Army Lt. Commander Robert Brown, who was in charge of a US under attack in Afghanistan and was then ordered to withdraw. Brown said the presence of US troops was a recruiting tool for the insurgents and after his unit withdrew the traditional Afghan leaders rose up against the Taliban.
Petraues responded that Pingree had only "cited isolated incidents and I could cite other isolated incidents" that showed that the continued military presence made the region more stable.
"We can't afford to be stay in Afghanistan," Pingree said. "The loss of American life and the enormous financial cost are far, far too high a price to pay for a war that doesn't make us any safer."

Warning! This page contains spoilers for Legendary Spy:The Tales of Malu.
|"Out of sight, out of mind, to tail one who blew away in the wind"
|— Malu, reciting the motto of the Air Nomad Intelligence Agency in Liberation.
The Air Nomad Intelligence Agency (ANIA), is the sole espionage service of the Air Nomads. Created in response to multiple attacks against them hundreds of years ago, ANIA acts as the first line of defense against future enemy incursions. The third-oldest intelligence operation in the world, after the much older Water Tribe Security Advisory (WTSA) and the Earth Kingdom Espionage Bureau (EKEB), the ANIA is a multidisciplinary agency and a source of employment for close to half the Air Nomad population, easily the largest proportion out of any other nations' spy organizations.
Due to their desperate origins, brutal effectiveness and a willingness to use violence to accomplish their goals, the ANIA is both widely respected and greatly feared by the rest of the world.
In 25,300 BG the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom started launching attacks against Air Nomad territories, which were repelled with little difficulty by the Air Nomads. That changed two years later when the two aforementioned nations invaded the same lands, catching the Nomads somewhat off-guard and resulting in the deaths of hundreds. The Nomads counterattacked a few years later, lasting for a five-year period, causing 2,000 combined deaths as well as displacing over 20,000 others when the Nomads occupied some of the land in both nations.
Many years later, after countless diplomatic resolutions, status quo antebellum was restored, and peace was made with the Earth Kingdom, anti-Fire Nation sentiment was running high. The mentality forced a shift in hospitality as well as Air Nomad behaviour towards outsiders.
In autumn, 25,263 BG (27 years after the ceasefire agreement ending the war), a middle-aged monk named Kamatak officially founded the ANIA with the Council's approval. Kamatak was one of many Air Nomads who shared the deep anti-outsider mentality as he himself not only fought in the conflict but also lost two of his sons on the battleground as well. ANIA was initially established at the Western Air Temple, but the organization relocated a few months later to the Northern Air Temple due to the close proximity of the western territory to the Fire Nation, as well as the recent peace agreement with the Earth Kingdom. Kamatak became the first Executive Director of the Agency. Among his accomplishments were the creation of both the Counterintelligence division and Foreign Relations branch, as well as his decrees of mandatory 20-year terms for EDs and mandatory retirement for all operatives at age 75; ironically he died during his last day in office so his successor became the only ED to have a term longer than exactly 20 years. Successive EDs formatted the organization to what it resembles in the present day.
The ANIA's first mandate was to conduct intelligence operations primarily against Fire Nation targets but successive mandates expanded their scope to observation missions within the other nations.
The ANIA, in conjunction with the WTSA foiled a major plot by the Fire Nation Secret Service (FNSS) in 25,230 BG and after much condemnation by the International Diplomatic Council (IDC) the Fire Nation backed off, still denying any wrongdoing. In turn, the FNSS foiled an operation by the ANIA 55 years later, and the result was an intelligence war that lasted nearly 75 years, by which point ANIA had established its Counterterrorism division and relocated its Foreign Relations branch back to the Western Air Temple.
By 25,000 BG, the ANIA remained as busy as ever, deploying agents to the far corners of the planet. They've even focused more on gathering intelligence from within their own people, just to ensure that the system's checks and balances are still functioning properly and appropriately.
The ANIA screens and selects potential recruits between ages 16-30, since those years are deemed by the organization to be the best years to train and mold their philosophies to match that of the agency. The low-end age of 16 (which applicants must be within the recruiting year) is also important as it is the age that most airbenders become masters of their element. The potential candidates are then subject to observation via intense training and participation in airbending competitions. As for testing academics, aptitude is tested and gauged using a series of standardized examinations. The whole recruitment process is a means to weed out unsuitable candidates until the right amount, if any in that particular batch of applicants, are found. Otherwise, the recruiters wait for the next year's candidates.
Chosen candidates aren't given their airbending mastery tattoos and aren't to shave their heads (both to better fit their prospective assignments and so that their real identities can't easily be determined); candidates who've already received tattoos have to get them permanently removed or covered over, and grow out their hair if shaven. In lieu of the tattoos, they receive blue arrow compass tattoos on their persons in a place where it isn't easy to spot, but easy enough to reveal in case. These types of arrow tattoos are common in the rest of the world, primarily though in the Fire Nation, the only difference being the paint used emanates a faint glow during nighttime. Lastly they're placed together in groups of two to four and given the entry-level rank of Observer (they remain in groups for the first few months, and then are split up in order to grant them field experience).
The new recruits must learn quickly and efficiently, for the ANIA maintains a strict quota of 50 operatives working for the agency at any given time (not including other professions in the organization).
ANIA has three different classes of employment, with several ranks each. This is to maintain the diversity the organization's known for.
The main profession of the agency. There are four spy ranks: Observer, Field Operative, Deep Cover Operative, and Special Agent.
Observer: The entry-level rank for all ANIA recruits. Their job largely entails studying the histories and current situations of the Air Nomads as well as the other three nations. Most of the agent training is learned at this stage, such as basic drills and the use of intelligence tools, etc. Observers are paired and live together in a communal housing facility adjacent to ANIA's headquarters. Most who are Observers maintain their rank for a period of 1-3 years, at which point they wash out or are promoted to Field Operatives. The rank is viewed as a last-chance measure to eliminate undesirables. Once they're deemed ready by their teachers, the Observers undertake an observation mission on home soil. If they pass then the final test is a short mission abroad, where they're expected to apply as many skills as possible to do successfully. If an Observer passes yet again, (s)he's promoted to the next rank.
Field Operative (FiO): The secondary rank for ANIA recruits, and the one position sporting the most "graduated" operatives. They're the ones who really run the entire operation, as most of the intelligence assignments are undertaken by them. FiOs receive specialized training in offensive airbending, mission logistics analysis, and in learning how to wield other nations' weapons in combat. Eventually they're taught to kill. Most Field Operatives live alone (usually in the same communal housing facility but sometimes in ANIA's living quarters), but gain access to better accommodations almost immediately upon their promotion. The promoted recruits are assigned a specialty (either General Intelligence [the headquarters], Counterintelligence, Foreign Relations, or Counterterrorism), depending on necessity and the opinions of the individual recruits. Depending on the selected assignment, one either stays at the Northern Air Temple or relocates hundreds of kilometres westward to the Western Air Temple's bureau. To prepare the agents in the event of being captured, each agent is arrested by security officials roughly 5-6 times without prior notice during the typical 2-5 year period of one being a FiO. They're then interrogated for several hours at a time to gauge their resistance to suggestion and any injuries which may arise over the course of their imprisonment. FiOs need to pass at least one of the first two interrogation sessions to be cleared for international missions, otherwise they'll be forced to remain home and run domestic operations until such a test is excelled. After serving 2-5 years as a FiO and exhibiting stellar results on intelligence missions, an agent would be promoted to the next rank.
Deep Cover Operative (DCO): The tertiary rank at the ANIA, but also easily the most stressful and challenging position in the hierarchy. DCOs operate abroad under orders from their assigned department heads. Most DCO missions involve reconnaissance of the intended targets but sometimes also include infiltration of an opposing agency/group and taking part in the mark's everyday activities, even if illegal. DCOs are on a specific mission anywhere from 6 consecutive months to as much as 5-10 years for a large operation. Operatives who are captured while on mission will be officially disavowed by the agency, but will still clandestinely receive some assistance where possible. The intentional lack of contact between an operative and his/her department while on mission (save for emergencies or scheduled updates) is capable of severely testing the agent's wits and mental state. While the majority of DCOs complete their missions without serious issues, some can break down or become burned out due to the at times extreme stress. Suicide and defection rates among ANIA DCOs are the highest in the agency, thus the organization has taken steps to ensure that such a stressful position is countered by good benefits. While not on assignment, Deep Cover Operatives are given private housing accommodations (though not as luxurious as those conferred to Special Agents), vacation and personal leave days (a month/year for every year serving as a DCO, doubled if the operative was involved in a long and particularly strenuous assignment; this time off can be banked up to a maximum of two years), as well as being granted a priority for counseling services. Because a DCO must learn to live in a given area as well as adapt to his/her surroundings, the freshly-promoted operative is instructed to live in an isolated area (usually within the Air Nomad territory they're based in) for three months without contact or assistance before being given such extended missions. A DCO must serve for 10-12 years before (s)he is considered for a promotion to the next rank, and most end up remaining Deep Cover Operatives for the remainder of their careers due to the limited quota of Special Agents that there can actively be at any given point.
Special Agent (SA): The fourth and final intelligence rank at the ANIA, it consists exclusively of the most experienced and powerful operatives. Although the ANIA's policy on the 50 total agents being employed at any given time has some leeway between the other three ranks, there is a mandatory constant of five SAs working for the agency. Except in very rare cases, all Special Agents are former DCOs with at least 10-12 years of experience at the tertiary level. If there is a need for new SAs, prospective candidates are examined using strict guidelines. Firstly, two tests, one written and the other oral (both focusing on subjects learned during their time in the lower three ranks), have to be passed with the marks above a certain threshold. Secondly, they've to master the Flying Bison airbending form; a slow, lumbering airbending style focusing primarily on heavy attacks and charged airbending moves which can be easily countered, but if used properly and effectively it can be one of an SA's greatest assets. Thirdly, a candidate must be able to hold his/her own against multiple opponents of similar skill and prowess. The fourth and final test is also the most violent and traumatic. It involves an unarmed fight to the death between two candidates, and the use of airbending during the melee is expressly forbidden; such use automatically disqualifies the perpetrator and thus results in the opponent passing the test. The two contenders are chosen via lottery, and thus it is a possibility that two friends could be matched up against each other. The latter situation is where the emotional trauma really settles in as a candidate may forfeit the match to avoid the other's death. However a forfeit isn't treated as a victory for the other contender; rather (s)he will simply be matched up against a different candidate and the one who forfeited will be removed from the testing and not be considered again for a minimum of five years.
The victors are then evaluated individually and it's up to the Executive Director (or the deputy, in the event of a potential conflict of interest) to decide which one will be promoted. The newly-selected SA would be given a cryptonym and within days will be deployed on a mission. As the most elite intelligence operatives in the ANIA, they're endowed with unique abilities, benefits and responsibilities. In terms of abilities, Special Agents can abort a mission at any time, provided their mission logistics analyses are close to falling below agency tolerance levels. In addition they can requisition extra supplies and partially modify objectives (i.e. timing and strategy to fulfill them). They also regularly work with DCOs on similar missions and oftentimes are the latter's sole contacts in times of suspended communications. In terms of benefits, they're given bigger and more private housing than DCOs are entitled to as well as better wages and time off (though not as much as DCOs). Perhaps the most crucial benefit of SAs is that only they can be considered for the more senior executive positions (Operation Coordinator and above), and such consideration can be given at any point within the duration of one's SA career. One typically works as a Special Agent for roughly 25-30 years, although working for up to and in excess of 40 years isn't unheard of. Those who make it to the agency's mandatory retirement age of 75 are given a pension and an option to continue working for ANIA in an advisory capacity. Upon death, former SAs are given state funerals and a statue is erected in their honour on the grounds of the temple they originated from, as well as a memorial at the ANIA bureau where (s)he mostly worked at. Burial must commence within 24 hours of their passing, in accordance with Air Nomad tradition at the time. In the event an agent is killed in action (KIA) and the agency is unsuccessful in obtaining the corpse, the funeral is performed in absentia.
This segment makes up the administrative division of the ANIA. It consists of six positions: Agency Recruiter, Equipment Manager, Operation Coordinator, Mission Superintendent, Deputy Executive Director, and Executive Director. The latter four ranks are only initially open to Special Agents, however one can attain one of these ranks via promotion from one of the first two (however this is rare for security reasons). Observers are ineligible to apply for any executive position. Unlike the intelligence profession, executive employees are required to adorn the airbending mastery tattoos as well as keeping shaven heads. Also unlike the intelligence profession, there is no quota for executive employees (with the exception of the latter four positions).
Agency Recruiter: The lowest ranked executive position, they're in charge of selecting and testing candidates as well as determining if any of the year's applicants are good enough to take and pass the required entrance examinations in order to become ANIA Observers, based on the allotted agency quota. Each recruiter is in charge of six candidates and must observe each individual's bending abilities and aptitude. Using agreed upon criteria, the recruiter must choose up to a maximum of two candidates to advance (or none at all). The position is open to FiOs with at least one years' service time, DCOs and SAs.
Equipment Manager: They're in charge of supplying agents with the necessary intelligence tools to complete their missions, in addition to organizing covert resupply convoys to agents currently on mission. In some cases they may get assigned to individual agents if an operative submits such a request. Due to the job requiring international mission experience, the position is only open to DCOs with a minimum of three years' service time, and SAs.
Operation Coordinator: Arguably the most important lifeline to the agency's operatives, they're tasked with planning out mission objectives, directing the Equipment Manager on what needs to be supplied, as well as coordinating and communicating with the agents before, during, and after their missions. Additionally, they write and decode the encrypted messages sent to and from the agents they're in charge of. In rare cases they'll meet with individual agents at a neutral rendezvous point to personally relay sensitive communiques from the higher echelons, and discuss unplanned secondary objectives. Typically there are 10 OCs at any given point, with one in charge of five agents' missions (due to the 50-agent mandate). The more experienced OCs usually handle DCOs and SAs. Because of the personal nature of their work, Operation Coordinators have to deal with a lot more stress, especially if an agent they manage is wounded, missing, or killed on mission. The stressful nature of the job is why the position is only open to SAs with a minimum of two years' service time. However a DCO is sometimes promoted to OC from the EM position provided (s)he has enough experience at both the prior position and rank (and can handle the large amount of stress comparable to and sometimes exceeding their own experience with it while they were on mission), as well as if there are no suitable SA candidates for the job (i.e. SAs with less than two years' experience or the declination of the job offer by the more experienced SAs).
Mission Superintendent: The boss of the OCs, they're responsible for hiring and firing them as well as writing reports on their conduct during their operatives' intelligence missions. Superintendents report directly to the Executive Director, and as the intermediary between the ED and OCs, they're personally liable for any incompetence and gross negligence displayed by the Operation Coordinators during the regular course of their occupation. Superintendents also serve as judges during tribunals and inquiries. There are two Mission Superintendents employed by the agency; one at each of the two bureaus at the Northern and Western Air Temples. The position is only open to Special Agents with more than 10 years' service time.
Deputy Executive Director (DED): Considered the "Vice President" of the ANIA, (s)he regularly collaborates with the Executive Director and is often the one dictating the ED's orders to the rest of the agency. The position was created in the wake of Monk Kamatak's premature death just a day before his term as ED was to have ended, by Kamatak's own handpicked successor in order to eliminate future succession uncertainties. In times of diplomatic crisis, it's the DED who's summoned to the IDC to work with the Air Nomad ambassador as well as explain the agency's actions to the other national ambassadors without revealing classified information. The DED is also in charge of hiring the Agency Recruiters and Equipment Managers. In the event of an ED's death or incapacitation (temporary or otherwise), the deputy assumes the position in an acting capacity until either the Executive Director returns or in the event of death, until the ED's term expires (whichever comes first). If the latter situation exists (via death or extended incapacitation), the DED must elect a successive deputy via an agency-wide election with the choices limited to Mission Superintendents, Operation Coordinators, and Special Agents. If a DED resigns, the position is then refilled via an election as well. As implied above, the position is only filled through an electoral vote of the most senior executive and intelligence staff.
Executive Director (ED): The Executive Director is the boss of the entire agency. The ED controls every aspect, profession, and direction of the ANIA using factors such as the political climate and international tensions. Executive Directors serve 20-year terms as mandated by ANIA's founder Monk Kamatak, after which they retire but still remain on the payroll in an advisory capacity until and optionally after the mandatory retirement age of 75. The maximum initial age for potential EDs is 55 years old, in line with the retirement age at the conclusion of the 20-year term limits. For the first 60 years of the organization, Executive Directors were omnipotent in their responsibilities and decisions, until the fourth holder of the position decided to limit its power (and increase accountability) by appointing a six-person Board of Administration. The BOA consists of the ED, DED, both MSs and the two most senior OCs. Nowadays, the Executive Director can't enact major policy shifts without a 2/3 majority, but can still control every other aspect. In times of war or diplomatic crisis, the ED's powers increase exponentially, enabling him/her to override the BOA's judgment to implement major changes. Both the ED and DED are elected from the aforementioned eligible candidates in an election enacted by the outgoing Executive Director exactly one year before the term ends. The candidate with the highest overall vote total will be the next ED and thus the second-highest vote-getter becomes the next DED. The current ED's barred from participating in the election nor can (s)he vote. With the exception of one ED, all Executive Directors have been male.
Consisting of over 400 employees, the civilian profession makes up the largest employment sector in the agency. Like the executive profession, these employees are also required to keep their airbending mastery tattoos and shaven heads. Four ranks make up the civilian profession's distribution: Secretary, Spokesperson, Agency Liaison, and Aide to the Air Nomad Ambassador, the latter of which is the only limited profession. Despite not being spies, they're still sworn to secrecy about the day-to-day agency operations just as every one in the intelligence and executive branches are.
Secretary: The default civilian rank. Secretaries are assigned to members of the intelligence and executive professions. Simply put, they remind the employees in charge of their daily schedules, any important communiques and do remedial administrative work. In the event of a security alert, secretaries are tasked with concealing sensitive information and destroying any incriminating evidence that may have eventually been discovered and tracked by members of the other agencies. Roughly 30%-40% of civilian employees are employed as secretaries.
Spokesperson: This secondary civilian rank has employees with good public relations skills acting as the collective voice of the agency. They're briefed by members of the executive staff with between slightly higher to substantially increased levels of information restricted from secretaries, depending on the agency area they're assigned to. If the situation demands it, spokespeople are authorized to speak with news makers on certain issues, with the understanding that they can't discuss classified information.
Agency Liaison: Civilian employees with diplomatic flair can be appointed to this rank, which entails traveling abroad in the name of the ANIA and forging relationships with merchants, officials, and other liaisons. Imbued with some diplomatic immunity and armed with knowledge comparable to an FiO, they're able to negotiate supply contracts external to what can be procured by the Air Nomad theocracy, as well as work with Air Nomad embassy staff (provided the nation in question has one). The immunity is beneficial when in hostile territory like the Fire Nation, as it grants them some leeway and some freedom of unobserved movement in the area; such protection, limited as it is can aid a liaison in sensitive diplomatic matters as well as contacting ANIA operatives working nearby without detection. An important function of the liaison is to assist would-be defectors in leaving hostile countries for safer ground. Air Nomad policy regarding outsiders dictates that no outsiders can immigrate to their territories but they can stay for a period of time until emigrants can secure the proper papers to emigrate elsewhere. However, liaisons need clearance from ANIA's executive staff before they can assist in a defection. To avoid problems with Fire Nation port officials, the defector is either given a temporary diplomatic passport or stuffed inside a diplomatic crate, which by international law can't be opened unless strong evidence can be gathered and proven. Operatives sometimes perform extraction work when it comes to higher-profile targets, as a liaison's level of diplomatic protection doesn't cover such defections.
Operatives working for ANIA's Foreign Relations branch are sometimes given cover identities of Agency Liaisons to better gather intelligence and to be able to operative covertly in higher risk areas without much difficulty, given the diplomatic protection provided (so long as the agent isn't discovered outside of the cover identity).
Aide of the Air Nomad Ambassador (AANA): The most senior civilian rank, it by far has the longest name and is sometimes referred to by an even lengthier formal name: Aide of the Air Nomad Ambassador to the International Diplomatic Council (AANAIDC). What a headscratcher! Also imbued with diplomatic immunity, albeit more than that granted to an Agency Liaison but less than an ambassador, they accompany and act as glorified secretaries to the latter. AANAs are in charge of relaying information between the agency and the ambassador as well as transcribing diplomatic council sessions for the ambassador's personal records (as the IDC's official transcriber doesn't supply facsimiles). Aides are appointed by the ambassador from a list of approved candidates, with a maximum of three being chosen.
Encryption Codes
Although the ANIA refuses to divulge the numerous encryption codes sent to and from agents by the agency due to security concerns, it will reveal its message-sending protocols, as they're more or less universal save for a few variations.
With regards to missing agents, other operatives are deployed to try and track down their whereabouts. If a definitive result is reached, the second agent sends a message back with the operative's name (or code name if an SA), bound by a ribbon. The colour of the ribbon reveals the fate of the original agent.
- Blue: Original agent has been found safe and sound. No further action needed.
- Orange: Agent is wounded; coloured stripes on the ribbon itself dictate how badly (Green: Lightly injured - on site treatment possible; Yellow: Moderately injured - on site treatment can have mixed effects but it's better to evacuate the agent; Red: Seriously wounded - agent must be returned to base immediately for treatment; Black: Fatally wounded - agent must be returned for an autopsy and burial as soon as possible).
- Red: Agent has been confirmed KIA. Second agent must return the corpse for an autopsy and burial.
- Purple: Agent is probably missing, but a trail is evident. Second agent lingers until either the agent is found or confirmed MIA.
- Black: Agent is confirmed MIA. Second agent is to return to base.
The ANIA has a number of commendations that can be bestowed on its employees.
- Air Badge of Honour
- Custard Pie Medal for Bravery
- Sky Marshal's Cross for Efficiency
- Black Arrow Medallion (awarded posthumously for sacrifices made to maintain the ANIA)
- Winged Lemur Wing (awarded to operatives injured on mission)
- Order of Kamatak (awarded to the agency's most outstanding operative; awarded every five years)
- White Lotus Flower Medallion (awarded to retiring employees)
- Air Temple Medallion (awarded to retiring Special Agents)
- World Medal (awarded to retiring Executive Directors)

Skip to comments.Israel warns Russia that Iran may get S-300 via Venezuela
Posted on 11/03/2010 12:04:59 AM PDT by ErnstStavroBlofeld
With Caracas set to sign an agreement to purchase the system, Israel is concerned that Teheran will eventually obtain the anti-aircraft system.
Israel has warned Russia of the possibility that an advanced air defense system it is planning to sell to Venezuela could eventually make its way to Iran, according to defense officials.
The system, the S-300, is one of the most advanced multi-target anti-aircraft-missile systems in the world, with a reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 at the same time. It has a range of about 200 kilometers and can hit targets at altitudes of 90,000 feet. Iran signed a deal with Russia to buy the system in 2007. But following the passing of a fourth set of UN sanctions in June, the Kremlin announced that it would not deliver the system to Iran. Israel and the United States had lobbied Moscow to cancel the deal.
But now, with Venezuela set to sign an agreement to purchase the system, Israel is concerned that Iran will eventually obtain the S-300.

A friend and I are considering camping here on our way to Seattle in mid-July. The general campground looks pretty nice but I'm worried that it might be hotter than blazes in that time of year.
Any reviews/comments would be helpful. If not here, is there anywhere else in town that would be better? I think that you can camp at the fairgrounds, but I can't imagine that it would be any better!

Catch the end of the winter migrants, the grey geese and whooper swans as well as the early arrivals such as wheatear and willow warbler and hopefully ospreys too. But the real triumph will be the full breeding plumage and display behaviour of our residents - golden eagles, sea eagles, peregrines, red kites and divers.
Highlights include:
Aigas - Arrival and time to settle in and explore the grounds and trails at Aigas. 126 bird species have been recorded here. This list includes 13 species of raptor and rare migrants like wryneck and green woodpecker. Sometimes there can be up to 4 ospreys fishing our loch. Buzzards mew over the moors often joined by red kites and croaking ravens.
Around your lodges the woods are alive with crossbills, siskins, greenfinches, goldcrests, spotted flycatchers, goldfinches, treecreepers, willow warblers and wood warblers. In the gloaming tawny owls begin to hoot, roe deer bark and badgers scuffle around. Pine martens may skip along your balcony rail searching for titbits.
Strathspey - We'll make an early departure to Strathspey in search of Capercaillie and after breakfast in a local hotel wander amongst the gnarled pines in search of pinewood specialists like crested tit and crossbill. We'll also be up early to visit a local Black Grouse lek.
The Black Isle peninsula is well known for the 1989 re-introduction of the red kite. There are now over 40 breeding pairs in the Highlands, the majority on the Black Isle. A mosaic of habitats surrounded by the Moray and Cromarty Firths, delivers an incredible wealth of waders and wildfowl with linnet, twite, redpoll and the tuneful skylark on headlands and beaches. We always search for our resident population of bottlenose dolphins cavorting and dancing in the tidal races at Chanonry Point.
Easter Ross - lies north east along the Cromarty Firth, with its oil rigs looming out of the water. Inquisitive seals laze on the rocks and the coast is busy with many waders. Tarbert Ness is an excellent viewpoint for waders, sea ducks, divers, auks and any passing migratory birds. We cross over the Dornoch Firth famed for its rolling sand banks to the inner estuary of Loch Fleet for common scoter, eider and many more waders.
Our Local Glens - We will spend this day exploring Affric, Cannich or Strathfarrar for crested tits, Scottish crossbills, great spotted woodpeckers and other woodland species. Sparrowhawks are seen jinking through the trees. Golden eagles often soar overhead and we will investigate a known eyrie. Many lochs and the river give us an ideal opportunity to find the elegant red and black-throated divers, scaup, whooper swans, common scoter, little grebe, red-breasted merganser, goosander and osprey, with dippers and grey wagtails on fast flowing streams.
Wester Ross - We go to search for the world's fourth largest eagle and Britain's rarest breeding raptor, the white tailed sea eagle. On our way we'll aim to find fishing ospreys, and catch red kites circling over newly planted fields. The west is a rugged, rocky and harsh landscape, with menacing mountains framing the landscape. Fjord-like sea lochs provide an ideal habitat for many seabirds and sea ducks.
Final Sweep - This final day will be kept free to seek out those all important birds that have eluded us.

MOGADISHU, Somalia, 2 September 2011 –"He doesn't sleep," says Furiyay, a mother whose young son sits lethargically on her lap. The boy is thin and his legs are covered with sores. "He vomits the whole night and has diarrhoea," his mother adds.

Furiyay's son is suffering from measles. His is one of 9,000 cases of the disease reported in Somalia since January.
In the capital, Mogadishu, tens of thousands of families displaced by drought and conflict are living in camps around the city. Quarters are tight, making the conditions ripe for an infectious disease like measles.

|With tens of thousands of people crowded into displaced persons camps in Mogadishu, Somalia, UNICEF and its partners are vaccinating children against measles.
"This is an airborne disease," explains Dr. Yasin Mohamed Nur of the World Health Organization (WHO). "It is spread by coughing, sneezing – and imagine the risk when there are so many people living in such a congested area."
Effects of malnutrition
Malnutrition makes the situation even worse. In south-central Somalia, a region where some 40 per cent of children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, the effects are disastrous.
"When the person becomes malnourished, his immunity drops, so he is prone to everything," says WHO's Mohamed Shire.
"When the child cannot get the basic necessities," notes Mr. Shire, "his body will utilize all the nutrients that were stored in the body, and that will lead to a reduction in immunity. If the child is already malnourished, he can easily be infected by measles, and this can often lead to death."
Conflict, drought and famine
The Horn of Africa is facing what has been described as the worst drought in over half a century, and the UN has declared a famine emergency in some regions.

|A displaced Somali child receives a measles vaccination at a camp in Mogadishu. UNICEF and its partners have launched an immunization campaign against the disease, which spreads in overcrowded conditions.
In Somalia, where the drought is compounded by conflict, hundreds of thousands of people have fled to urban centres and neighbouring countries. National malnutrition rates are soaring. Combined with low immunization rates, they raise serious concerns about large-scale outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Even before the current crisis, Somalia had low vaccine coverage compared to most other nations, with routine immunization rates stagnating between 30 and 40 per cent. The combined effects of poverty, civil unrest and poor health care have negatively impacted Somali communities even further.
Modest gains made in immunization over the last few years are now at risk, particularly with respect to measles elimination and polio eradication.
Emergency vaccination plan
Due to the crisis, a large number of children from Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Bay, the Jubas and other regions have settled in Mogadishu. Immunization activity in these regions stopped for nearly two years amidst conflict, leaving many of these children unprotected.
Over the last several weeks, UNICEF, WHO and other partners have been conducting emergency vaccination campaigns in parts of Mogadishu. A plan is also in place to vaccinate all children in south-central Somalia, where the famine is at its peak, over the next few months.

|About 9,000 cases of measles have been reported in Somalia in 2011. UNICEF and its partners have responded with a large-scale vaccination campaign.
Humanitarian agencies provide basic health and immunization services in more than 150 maternal and child health centres in south-central Somalia. As networks of primary health care, the centres serve as the core of the vaccination campaign plan.
The campaign aims to provide supplemental immunization with measles vaccine, oral polio vaccine, vitamin A and de-worming tablets to children aged 6 months to 15 years – and to strengthen diseases surveillance for early detection of outbreaks.
Access amidst insecurity
Despite hopes for the mass campaign, which is targeting 750,000 children in all, many concerns remain.
"Insecurity remains one of our biggest obstacles," says Dr. Nur. "It is important to get full access to everyone. Our concern now is for the [displaced persons] who will arrive in Mogadishu after we have completed the campaign here."
Major donors to UNICEF's immunization effort in Somalia include the UK Department for International Development and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
