Fuel gasoline. 5-speed Manual transmission. Engine 4-cylinder, In-Line.
Used as a secondary vehicle towed behind a Motorhome.
2016-09-04 10:20:51
I have purchased a 2004 Terios to tow behind my Motorhome. The previous owner has installed all the hardware and supplied the steel A-frame to attach it to the Motorhome. I am not sure whether it should be in 4WD or 2WD when being towed.
According to the previous owner I put the gears into neutral, key in ACC, handbrake OFF and all is OK.
Should the 4WD symbol be illuminated when I am towing the Terios.
2016-09-04 11:14:35
I don't have much experience towing heavy loads like a motor home, but 4W will always give more stability and torque. Only problem with 4W are tide curves.
2016-09-04 12:47:20
Gearbox in Neutral, 4WD selector OFF, key in ACC position and handbrake off.
I tow my Terios behind my Motorhome.

Gearbox in Neutral, 4WD selector OFF, key in ACC position and handbrake off.
I tow my Terios behind my Motorhome.
2016-09-04 12:52:07
frog_hollow: the system must be in 2wd as it doesn't have a centre differential.
2016-09-04 13:20:30
Sorry I misunderstood. Towing behind a motor home, you should definitely keep the Terios in 2D. If it is not getting out of 4D you may have to drive it little back and forth to get it out.
2016-09-04 14:17:01
Thanks for the replies. I assume that it is in 2WD when the 4WD indicator light is NOT illuminated.

41 year old woman | Rockland, ME, United States | Seeking men 30-45 within 20 miles
Quietly seeking the best friend I haven't met yet....
I may as well be honest - I have always been painfully shy..... I'm not so great with the mingling in a crowd......but at the same time, life experiences, especially in the last few years, have really helped me come out of my shell. Problem is, men seem to either come on too strong (mostly much older men and no, I don't want to be with someone any more than maybe a decade or so older), or they treat me like their kid sister......I'm 39, guys......I don't need anyone covering my eyes when we go to a movie. If I have to describe myself, and it seems as though it's expected, I'm generally a happy person...I try to be a positive thinker and enjoy the little things. I have a goofy sense of humor and am easily amused. I go for a walk every day after work just to get some exercise and enjoy letting go of the work day. I love picking some random place to drive to that I've never been before, just to see something new, and I always enjoy the drive. I'm a very loyal and devoted person.....if you need me, I am there. It's the kind of trait I wish to find in someone else........someone who will be as affectionate and caring and as devoted as I will be with him. This will probably sound a little corny, but I would like to know what it's like to be someone's priority. There have been people in my life who have been a priority to me, but I honestly don't think anyone has ever truly felt that way about me.....and it's always tough to realize he's never going to love you the way you love him. As for my interests.......i read a lot, go for long drives to explore local places I've never come across, watch the Food Network, Investigation Discovery, and the Justice Network, cook up a storm whenever I have time, spend time with my best friend and her little kids, solve puzzles, reading news reports from around the world, trying new things that are outside my comfort zone in an effort to not let my shyness prevent me from enjoying life. Right now I don't have a whole lot of free time for my interests because I not only work full time but I am also in graduate school. Most of my time is spent doing homework. It is exhausting sometimes, but it's going well and it will certainly be worth it in the end. I may not have a ton of time for dating right now, but I'll be done school in April 2016 and I'd still like to go out now and then and meet someone. I'd like to find someone to spend time with, go places with, do things with, whether it's going for a walk.....going to a restaurant.....or just sitting on the couch watching a movie together. It would be nice to have some similar interests but also varying ones so there's still something to learn about each other and about the things in the world that you each find interesting. I'm all about those little things each day that really mean something to someone.....and that can be anything from sending him a text message just to let him know I'm thinking about him....or doing something silly just to make him smile.....and never underestimate the well-timed hug! And when I find someone who appreciates that side of me and wants me in his life for a long time.........then that will be the magic of a miracle. I wonder sometimes how I sound to other people. I tend to be very honest about myself and how I feel. I don't play games or say one thing and mean another. I've lived a pretty quiet lifestyle and I know I tend to come across as naïve.........especially since I'm a little old fashioned and probably a hopeless romantic.......which is probably why a lot of guys have just treated me like the innocent younger sister. If I'm cautious it's just that I'm shy......and partly because I don't want to get hurt again..........so you just have to give me a chance to get to know you and then I won't be shy anymore. Don't try to maul me on the first date. The most you're getting is a hug. ;-)

Enabling Fine-grained Multi-keyword Search Supporting Classified Sub-dictionaries over Encrypted Cloud Data

Enabling Fine-grained Multi-keyword Search Supporting Classified Sub-dictionaries over Encrypted Cloud Data
Using cloud computing, individuals can store their data on remote servers and allow data access to public users through the cloud servers. As the outsourced data are likely to contain sensitive privacy information, they are typically encrypted before uploaded to the cloud. This, however, significantly limits the usability of outsourced data due to the difficulty of searching over the encrypted data. In this paper, we address this issue by developing the fine-grained multi-keyword search schemes over encrypted cloud data. Our original contributions are three-fold. First, we introduce the relevance scores and preference factors upon keywords which enable the precise keyword search and personalized user experience. Second, we develop a practical and very efficient multi-keyword search scheme. The proposed scheme can support complicated logic search the mixed "AND", "OR" and "NO" operations of keywords. Third, we further employ the classified sub-dictionaries technique to achieve better efficiency on index building, trapdoor generating and query. Lastly, we analyze the security of the proposed schemes in terms of confidentiality of documents, privacy protection of index and trapdoor, and unlinkability of trapdoor. Through extensive experiments using the real-world dataset, we validate the performance of the proposed schemes. Both the security analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed schemes can achieve the same security level comparing to the existing ones and better performance in terms of functionality, query complexity and efficiency.
- The searchable encryption has been recently developed as a fundamental approach to enable searching over encrypted cloud data, which proceeds the following operations.
- Wang et al. propose a ranked keyword search scheme which considers the relevance scores of keywords.
- Sun et al. propose a multi-keyword text search scheme which considers the relevance scores of keywords and utilizes a multidimensional tree technique to achieve efficient search query.
- Yu et al. propose a multi-keyword top-k retrieval scheme which uses fully homomorphic encryption to encrypt the index/trapdoor and guarantees high security.
- Cao et al. propose a multi-keyword ranked search (MRSE), which applies coordinate machine as the keyword matching rule, i.e., return data with the most matching keywords.
- Due to using order-preserving encryption (OPE) to achieve the ranking property, the existing scheme cannot achieve unlinkability of trapdoor.
- Although many search functionalities have been developed in previous literature towards precise and efficient searchable encryption, it is still difficult for searchable encryption to achieve the same user experience as that of the plaintext search, like Google search.
- Most existing proposals can only enable search with single logic operation, rather than the mixture of multiple logic operations on keywords
- In this work, we address by developing two Fine-grained Multi-keyword Search (FMS) schemes over encrypted cloud data.
- In this system, we introduce the relevance scores and the preference factors of keywords for searchable encryption. The relevance scores of keywords can enable more precise returned results, and the preference factors of keywords represent the importance of keywords in the search keyword set specified by search users and correspondingly enables personalized search to cater to specific user preferences. It thus further improves the search functionalities and user experience.
- In this system, we realize the "AND", "OR" and "NO" operations in the multi-keyword search for searchable encryption. Compared with schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve more comprehensive functionality and lower query complexity.
- In this system, we employ the classified sub-dictionaries technique to enhance the efficiency of the above two schemes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the enhanced schemes can achieve better efficiency in terms of index building, trapdoor generating and query in the comparison with schemes
- Better search results with multi-keyword query by the cloud server according to some ranking criteria.
- To reduce the communication cost.
- Achieves lower query complexity.
- Achieves better efficiency in index building scheme of our proposed model.
- Data owner
- Cloud server
- Search user
Data owner:
The data owner outsources her data to the cloud for convenient and reliable data access to the corresponding search users. To protect the data privacy, the data owner encrypts the original data through symmetric encryption. To improve the search efficiency, the data owner generates some keywords for each outsourced document. The corresponding index is then created according to the keywords and a secret key. After that, the data owner sends the encrypted documents and the corresponding indexes to the cloud, and sends the symmetric key and secret key to search users.
Cloud server:
The cloud server is an intermediate entity which stores the encrypted documents and corresponding indexes that are received from the data owner, and provides data access and search services to search users. When a search user sends a keyword trapdoor to the cloud server, it would return a collection of matching documents based on certain operations.
Search user:
A search user queries the outsourced documents from the cloud server with following three steps. First, the search user receives both the secret key and symmetric key from the data owner. Second, according to the search keywords, the search user uses the secret key to generate trapdoor and sends it to the cloud server. Last, she receives the matching document collection from the cloud server and decrypts them with the symmetric key.

2115 13TH Street, Boulder, CO
0.2 km from
Best clam chowder in the world. Very convenient.
I can still remember my last stay. Staff was not friendly.
The hotel could not be better located. The restaurant was reasonably priced, though we just ate there for breakfast. It had the modern amenities with the feel of a historic hotel. The have a small fitness room, but you can work out for free at ONE Fitness which is a two block walk.
The view of the flat irons was great. Location was awesome. The hotel was both modern and charming. The furnishings were nice. Second vanity and sink outside the bathroom. We did not drive (because we knew parking would be limited and expensive). Although I would have expected a pool given the price, there was a lot to do in the area. Everything we wanted was within walking distance. We like room service. However, the one breakfast we ordered did not come with any condiments (salt, pepper, butter, jelly). The woman who delivered the food did not make any eye contact (although she was perfectly polite). We did not order room service after that. Also, there is no table on which to share a meal in the king room we had. One person had to sit at the desk on the other side of the TV console, so we could not even see each other while we talked and ate. A little TV tray for the other wing-back chair would have been nice.
Kind and attentive staff
I enjoyed the ambience of the hotel. The accents in the room were very nice and make staying at this historic hotel very enjoyable.
Hotel is wonderful, with great character (it's on the National Register of Historic Places). Staff are very friendly and appropriately attentive without being intrusive. They addressed me by name after 2 days. The hotel had a water leak in another room and the room in which I stayed had a musty, damp smell to it as a result.
This place is awesome - Closest lodging to the Boulder Downtown and more than accommodating. Would recommend for Business or Pleasure stays.
Loved the elevator! Loved the old music playing! The staff was friendly and attentive. Great valet service. Restaurant was yummy. And the Corner Bar had a nice selection of good beer. Didn't find any fault.
Location was excellent; staff was very courteous and professional, surrounding were very historic. Nothing
Loved the turn-of-the-century decor - stained glass ceiling in the lobby, original 1900's caged, operated-by-a-person elevator, fireplace in lobby, original safe behind the front desk etc. Loved the location right in the middle of downtown Boulder with access to shopping, restaurants and the beautiful trail beside Boulder creek. Staff were delightful - as the hotel wasn't full, they upgraded us to a suite, so the 3 of us had both a living room and a bedroom in the historic side of the hotel. Perfect. Enjoyed a perfect dinner in the hotel restaurant. Had to eat breakfast at the airport. There was a coffee pot in the room, but not really a convenient place to grab a quick breakfast. It would be great if there were a coffee shop either in the hotel or next door. Some of the antique furniture in the room really needed to be re-upholstered. But the feeling was very turn-of-the-20th-century.
Awesome old building, with good food and drinks. Lotta stuff to see and do with in walking distance. Super nice and helpful staff as well. Little spendy, but a cool place none the less.
Best clam chowder in the world. Very convenient.
I can still remember my last stay. Staff was not friendly.

Target: Senator Jeff Flake, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health Policy
Goal: Prevent malaria-related deaths by funding an organization that provides mosquito nets to vulnerable populations.
Malaria, a deadly disease that is spread by mosquitoes, is common in Africa. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 500,000 people died from this parasite-driven disease in 2013 and, despite access to treatments and prevention, the disease remains strong. Not only is this a cause for concern medically, it also contributes to the growing problem of poverty in Africa. The cost of tending to this illness and its victims, in Africa alone, adds up to $12 billion per year. With the African economy already fragile, the fight against malaria is more important than ever. However, a grassroots movement is combating malaria simply by giving away mosquito nets. Take action now to demand more funding for this incredible organization.
The grassroots organization, known as Nothing But Nets, works with communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to prevent further transmission of malaria. To do this, they provide insecticide-treated bed nets to keep families safe from insect bites at night, which is when bites are most prevalent. Nothing by Nets helps the most vulnerable populations such as refugees, internally displaced people, and other overlooked demographics. Thanks to the United Nations (UN), distribution teams, local governments, and healthcare workers, the nets make their way from the U.S. to a needy family in Africa. There are also community workers in place to follow up on the nets and ensure that they are effective.
Thanks to the CDC, the UN, and grassroots programs such as Nothing But Nets, progress is being made. Since the implementation of these programs, 3.3 million lives have been saved on a global scale. In Africa alone, the death rates were cut in half. However, the Nothing But Nets program needs help. The funding for malaria treatment and prevention must be increased. By signing below, you are requesting that Congress take a step forward in the eradication of malaria and increase funding to Nothing But Nets.
Dear Senator Flake,
Every year, 219 million African people are infected with malaria. Even with treatments and cures available, 600,000 of those infected, many of them children, still die. While there are many charitable organizations as well as the CDC who are working to eradicate this illness in Africa, there is one grassroots organization that stands out in preventing transmission of this disease and that organization is Nothing But Nets.
Nothing But Nets works with communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to provide insecticide-treated bed nets to keep families safe from insect bites at night, which is when bites are the most prevalent. This organization helps the most vulnerable populations, such as refugees, internally displaced people, and other overlooked demographics. We demand that this organization receive more funding from Congress so that it may continue to save lives and prevent the spread of this very contagious and deadly disease in Africa. Please take action to prevent the spread of this devastating disease.

In your hourly "I HAZ A DUMB" White House moment, the 1600 Daily website has accidentally touted a satire article which sarcastically praises Trump's budget proposal — and at the time of this publication, the article is still on the website.
The satire article, published by the Washington Post, which was posted to the opinion section of the website has a misleading headline, "Trump's budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why." But anyone who took three seconds to read the content would understand this is not a positive review of the budget, which drastically cuts the Environmental Protection Agency, the state department, children's school lunch programs, and slashes federal funding for Meals on Wheels.
Alexandra Petri, the article's author, writes:
Some people are complaining that the budget proffered by the Trump administration, despite its wonderful, macho-sounding name, is too vague and makes all sorts of cuts to needed programs in favor of increasing military spending by leaps and bounds. These people are wimps.
Petri continues:
America has been soft and weak for too long. BUT HOW WILL I SURVIVE ON THIS BUDGET? you may be wondering. I AM A HUMAN CHILD, NOT A COSTLY FIGHTER JET. You may not survive, but that is because you are SOFT and WEAK, something this budget is designed to eliminate.
Petri also took aim at the specific cuts:
Environmental Protection Agency: We absolutely do not need this. Clean rivers and breathable air are making us SOFT and letting the Chinese and the Russians get the jump on us.
Either the White House did not read past the headline…or they agree with the content, which is terrifying.
This is especially ironic, given Trump's constant attacks on the "fake news media" yet his administration posted a satirical article because the headline looked nice? HAHAHAHA! They leak credibility by the hour and given the uproar over Trump tweeting factually-absent accusations against President Obama because Mark Levin and Breitbart said he was a "wire tapppppper," one would think they would be trying harder to be careful. One would think.
I wonder what dumbass thing they'll do in the next hour, because it's definitely coming, just wait.

Washinton: Defending her husband Donald Trump over the tape controversy, Melania Trump has claimed that he was "egged on" to make the comments and played down as "boy talk" the Republican presidential candidate's lewd remarks about women.
Melania backed Trump in her first interview since the Republican nominee faced allegations of sexual misconduct, calling those accusations "lies". "I said to my husband that, you know the language was inappropriate. It's not acceptable. And I was surprised, because that is not the man that I know," Melania (46) told CNN on Monday.
"The two were engaged in boy talk, and he was led on, like egged on from the host to say dirty stuff," she said, referring to Trump and Billy Bush, the then 'Access Hollywood' host. "And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on, it was only a mic."
It was after the emergence of the video that Trump's presidential campaign has been jolted with his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton taking a substantial lead over him in national opinion polls.
"I believe my husband.," Melania said of the allegations. "This was all organised from the opposition. Did they ever check the background of these women? They don't have any facts," she said.

Context. The chromosphere above sunspot umbrae and penumbrae shows several different types of fast dynamic events such as running penumbral waves, umbral flashes, and penumbral microjets. Aims. The aim of this paper is to identify the physical driver responsible for the dynamic and small-scale chromospheric jets above a sunspot light bridge. Methods. High-resolution broadband filtergrams of active region NOAA 11271 in Ca ii H and G band were obtained with the Solar Optical Telescope on board Hinode. We identified the jets in the Ca ii H images using a semi-automatic routine and determined their length and orientation. We applied local correlation tracking (LCT) to the G-band images to obtain the photospheric horizontal velocity field. The magnetic field topology was derived from a Milne-Eddington inversion of a simultaneous scan with the Spectropolarimeter. Results. The chromospheric jets consist of a bright, triangular-shaped blob that lies on the light bridge, while the apex of this blob extends into a spike-like structure that is bright against the dark umbral background. Most of the jets have apparent lengths of less than 1000 km and about 30% of the jets have lengths between 1000–1600 km. The jets are oriented within ±35° to the normal of the spine of the light bridge. Most of them are clustered near the central part of the light bridge within a 2′′ area. The jets are seen to move rapidly along the light bridge and many of them cannot be identified in successive images taken with a 2 min cadence. The jets are primarily located on one side of the light bridge and are directed into the umbral core. The Stokes profiles at or close to the location of the blobs on the LB exhibit both a significant net circular polarization and multiple components, including opposite-polarity lobes. The magnetic field diverges from the light bridge towards the umbral cores that it separates. The LCT reveals that in the photosphere there is a predominantly uni-directional flow with speeds of 100–150 m s-1 along the light bridge. This unidirectional flow is interrupted by a patch of weak or very small motions on the light bridge which also moves along the light bridge. Conclusions. The dynamic short-lived chromospheric jets above the LB seem to be guided by the magnetic field lines. Reconnection events are a likely trigger for such phenomenon since they occur at locations where the magnetic field changes orientation sharply and where we also observe isolated patches of opposite-polarity magnetic components. We find no clear relation between the jets and the photospheric flow pattern.

Months of detective work has confirmed the identify of the two-masted vessel, uncovered in Ramsay Bay, near Cardwell, after the monster cyclone hit in February.
The Belle was trying to recover cedar timber washed ashore from another wrecked vessel, the Merchant, when it sank.
"The identification is based on a match of records with the physical evidence - we are dealing with incomplete records and an incomplete wreck, so identification is based on probability," Environment Minister Vicky Darling said in a statement.
"But experts are satisfied that the Belle is the only likely contender out of the five vessels which are known to have been lost at Ramsay Bay."
Department of Environment Research Management's (DERM) principal heritage officer Paddy Waterson said historical records were obtained from England.
"The wreck was only partially exposed and the experts did not want to remove more sand unnecessarily in case it caused the remains to deteriorate more quickly," Mr Waterson said.
"Initial results were inconclusive so in June further investigations were conducted by archaeologists from DERM's Heritage Branch and the Museum of Tropical Queensland.
"The stern of the vessel had remained buried and it was important to examine that area to establish the length."
The Belle was built in 1865 in Canada and soon after made its way to Australia, where it operated out of Adelaide as a cargo ship.
In 1875, she started bringing supplies to far north Queensland from Melbourne and returning south with loads of cedar from the Daintree area.
Designed to operate in shallow waters, the Belle was like all sailing vessels and susceptible to shifting and sudden winds.
During a high-winds in January 1880, she was driven close to shore and wrecked.
Experts determined the length of the vessel being just over 30 metres.
Ms Darling said DERM experts would carry out research on Ramsay Bay as part of the Queensland Historic Shipwreck Survey, which is in the process of identifying more than 1,000 vessels lying along Queensland's coast.
"Every one of these ships is an irreplaceable archaeological site but in many cases the locations listed are imprecise and we know very little about their history," Ms Darling said.

|Battle of the River of the Unexpected Hero
|Location: River of the Unexpected Hero
|Date: 930
| Major Forces: Unicorn Clan,
|Generals: Unknown
|Battles of Rokugan
The Battle of the River of the Unexpected Hero was the victory of the Unicorn Clan against an army of Shadowlands creatures that had moved north to despoil Chrysanthemum Petal Lake. [1]
Hero Edit
A young peasant who intended to watch the Chrysanthemum Festival spotted several goblins. The young man eventually found an Ide patrol who believed him. The warning prevented a group of bakemono and trolls from reinforcing the ogres who had attacked the lake. [1] The Unicorn were battling Shadowlands and the courage of the farmer proved to be the crucial factor in the battle, turning the tide. [2] The farmer even struck down the leader of the creatures, giving the Unicorn enough momentum to rout the enemy. [3]
Aftermath Edit
The river where the battle was fought was named after the peasant as the River of the Unexpected Hero. [4]

Hi guys! I've been lurking Craftster for awhile and I finally taught myself how to knit! I've been trying out this pattern
And I have a few questions:
1. What does "Rnd 8: [Kfb, k1] 3 times (9 sts). Place marker." mean? Since there are 18 stitches divided across 3 needles, do I just do that for one needle and knit stitch the rest?
2. How do I get little tail as shown in the link? When I tried making this pattern, I ended up with an open cone... Am I supposed to sew that end shut? I'm so confused!!
Thank you for helping me out, I really appreciate it!

Many types of fruit trees require some degree of cross-pollination to achieve optimal production. (see References 1) For cross-pollination to occur, insects or wind must carry pollen from one variety to a different variety within the same species. Some plum (Prunus spp.) varieties are self-fruitful, meaning they will set fruit without cross-pollination, but cross-pollination is beneficial for 'Satsuma' and most other common cultivars. (see References 2)
The Right Pollen
Cross-pollination is a natural mechanism for maintaining greater genetic diversity because the offspring of cross-pollinated species receive a mixture of traits from two dissimilar parent plants. (see References 3) The flowers of a self-unfruitful plant will not allow themselves to be fertilized by pollen that they recognize as originating from the same plant or a plant of the same variety. (see References 4, page 1) Pollen can be transferred in a variety of ways, but for tree fruits, pollination is largely dependent on bees. (see References 4, page 1) Bees in this case are termed the pollinators, and the tree that provides the pollen is known as the pollinizer. (see References 4, page 1)
The Right Species
A species is commonly perceived as a group of organisms that are very similar in appearance, but the scientific definition of "species" is actually more precise: a species includes all of the organisms that are able to reproduce with each other. (see References 5) As a general rule, breeding is impossible among members of different species. In the context of fruit trees, this means that only trees within the same species can cross-pollinate. You can quickly determine the species of any plant by looking at its scientific name. The first word indicates the genus, and the second word indicates the species. E.g., Prunus domestica -- Prunus is the genus and domestica is the species name. (see References 6)
The Many Species of Plums
Common names for plants are often imprecise, and this is certainly the case with plums. The generic term "plum" includes trees belonging to over 100 different species. (see References 2) The standard edible plums are Prunus domestica, commonly known as European plums, and Prunus salicina, commonly known as Japanese plums. Both of these species are adapted to U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 5 to 9. Thundercloud flowering plum tree (Prunus cerasifera 'Thundercloud') is a different species from the Japanese plum variety 'Satsuma' (see References 7, References 2). Consequently, 'Thundercloud' cannot serve as a pollinizer for 'Satsuma'.
A Match for Satsuma
'Satsuma,' along with most other Japanese plums, needs to be cross-pollinated by a tree from a different Japanese plum variety. Recommended pollinizers for 'Satsuma' are 'Santa Rosa,' 'Shiro,' and 'Burbank.' (see References 8, page 2) These compatible varieties should provide flowering periods that overlap, which ensures that the flowers of one variety are receptive to pollen while the flowers of the other variety are shedding pollen. Bees will not transfer enough pollen between trees that are far away from each other, so do not separate the two cross-pollinating varieties by more than 100 feet. (see References 4, page 1)

The bang for the birr: Public expenditures and rural welfare in Ethiopia
"During the past decade and a half, Ethiopia's approach to promoting development and improving the lives of the country's rural population has been driven by a government strategy called Agricultural Development–Led Industrialization (ADLI). This strategy's main goal is to encourage fast, broad-based development within the agricultural sector in order to power economic growth. While ADLI considers regulatory, trade, market, and other policies to be key engines of agricultural growth, it also focuses on increasing public expenditure in agriculture and road infrastructure, as well as in social sectors that are perceived as contributing to agricultural productivity. Thus, Ethiopia's public expenditure policy is at the heart of the policy measures emerging from ADLI. Given budget constraints, it is essential to examine the relative contributions that different types of public investments make to welfare. An improved understanding of investment outcomes will have important implications for expenditure policy, especially in terms of the portfolio composition of public resources. This research report explores and compares the impacts of different types of public spending on rural household welfare in Ethiopia. Most previous studies examining the link between public expenditure and development outcomes either explore how the size of overall public expenditure or public investment affects growth or poverty, or they correlate spending in one economic sector with outcomes in that sector or with broader measures of welfare. Both types of studies can provide useful input into policymaking decisions. However, there is a striking lack of research aimed at examining how the composition of public spending affects key development outcomes—a particularly policy-relevant question. This study fills that gap. It compares the impact of different types of public spending through a three-stage analysis. The first stage assesses the impact of access to different sector-specific services on rural household consumption and the productivity of households' private assets, differentiating these effects by geographic region. The second stage determines the contribution of different types of public spending to key sector-specific outcomes. The final stage of the analysis draws on the first two to estimate the effect on rural welfare of a unit increase in public spending across different sectors." from text

Heiko Krause No reason for being too modest: I really like the way your book is an amazing patchwork-look-a-like work on the one hand. On the other hand there are very impressive precise and emphatic portraits. I came across your book by trying to have a look at the most promising PBN-entries. In my opinion there are only some really great works amongst all the entries.
Amelia Shepherd @HeikoKrause many thanks for your comments and feedback about my work, I am glad you liked the book. How did you come across it incidentally?
Heiko Krause Really great works in an amazingly composed book.

Northam reports no change in situation at Zondereinde
by January 19, 2015 10:53 am0
This as its management continues to engage with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) in a bid to normalise operations at the mine.
Strike action led by the union started with the night shift on Tuesday however, the company insisted that smelter operations were unaffected.
"Following employees' failure to return to work, in contravention of the terms of a Labour Court interdict, management temporarily suspended operations at the mine amidst rising tension amongst striking and non-striking employees," [DATA NHM:Northam] said.
"Effectively, operations have been suspended since 16 January 2015 in the interests of securing the safety and security of employees and company property."
The platinum group metals (PGM) producer added that essential services employees have continued to report for duty as per existing agreements.
"The ongoing strike action results in production losses of around 1,000oz of PGMs per day, equating to revenue of 11.5 million rand per day," it said.

SE: Milo Continues Family Tradition
SE: Milo Continues Family Tradition
Sept. 19, 2012
By Mark Janssen
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Jarard Milo is realizing his dream.
"I used to come watch my brother play as a 5-year-old and saying, 'I want that to be me,' " said the Wildcat senior safety.
Today, it is him as his dream has turned to reality.
Milo is yet another of those walk-on to starting status stories in the Kansas State football camp. He was "recruited a little" out of Olathe North High School where he played defense, but also rushed for over 500 yards in both his junior and senior seasons.
Then after a 20-game career at Butler County Community College he was "recruited a little" more.
With his brother, Brian Goolsby, being a star fullback for the Wildcats from 1995-1998, "… the decision was made through conversations with him. I grew up as a Wildcat. It was my dream to play here."
While saying that his brother was his favorite player, he also remembers Michael Bishop on offense and Lamar Chapman on defense, and "… how the defense ran to the ball. I loved their tempo and how everyone was family."
Yes, even at the age of five or six, Milo said with a laugh, "I've always been a football player. I looked for those things."
Milo served as a special teams player last year when he saw action in 12 games and recorded eight tackles, which included two against Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
Heading into the 2012 fall camp, most were considering Milo to be a backup for Thomas Ferguson at safety replacing departed senior Tysyn Hartman.
That however changed entering the season opener against Missouri State.
"They told me on Thursday that I was going to start," said Milo, a 6-foot-2, 197-pounder. "Now I want to make the most of my opportunity."
Milo has done just that, starting with the Missouri State game when he led the team in tackles with 10, which included seven solo arrests. In the last two games he's added another dozen tackles upping his total to 22, which is second on the team only to Arthur Brown's 28.
"I've been all right, but I wouldn't say the best. I know I can play better," said Milo, whose 22 tackles ranks second in the Big 12 Conference among defensive backs. "I'm getting my feet wet and getting more experience each week. I know I have a lot of room for improvement."
Of ranking high on the team, not to mention the Big 12, in tackles, Milo said, "I don't pay attention to that. I just try to do my job and give it up for the guys."
Milo credits his improvement to learning through playing behind Hartman last year, and along-side Ty Zimmerman in this year's starting lineup.
"I'm like both of them, but with differences," said Milo. "What I do best is tackling and trying to cover the deep ball. I don't want to let the ball get over the top."
That will be a challenge Saturday in the 6:50 p.m., kickoff against No. 6/5-ranked Oklahoma. It was a year ago that the Sooners broke open a 23-17 halftime contest with 35 unanswered points in the second half for a 58-17 victory.
The Sooners finished with 690 yards of offense with QB Landry Jones passing for 505 yards and five touchdowns.
"He's one of the best in the Big 12, but all we can do about that is prepare our best game plan and try to come out and stop him," said Milo of OU's Jones, who was 35-of-47 passing in the game. "We've been improving so we want to come out and compete as well as we can. It's still early, but I think we've done the best that we could and we're getting better each week."
Of last year's score, and in particular the second half when OU scored those 35 second-half points all by the 11:03 mark of the fourth quarter, Milo said, "Last year is last year. This year we want to come out and try to stop the deep ball. Coach (Tom) Hayes will have a good game plan for us, so we'll just try to execute that plan."
While trying to put that game in the past, catching Milo's attention in the early-week team meetings was this question posed by the coaching staff: "They asked, 'How many of you have beaten Oklahoma?' No hands went up."
That, he says, "We'd like to change."

Is 7:10-14. Ps 23:1-6, R/ v 7, 10. Lk 1:26-38. www.catholicbishops.ie/readings
The "O" Antiphons – O Clavis David (O Key of David)
The "O Antiphons" refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, December 17-23, with December 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil.
Today we focus on the fourth of the seven O Antiphons – O Clavis David (O Key of David).
LATIN: O clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel: qui aperis, et nemo claudit; claudis, et nemo aperit: veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris, sedentem in tenebris.
ENGLISH: O Key of David, and scepter of the house of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts and no man opens: come, and lead forth the captive who sits in the shadows from his prison.

Advent Thought for the Day
Each day during Advent we are bringing you an audio Thought for the Day on a different theme. Today's Thought for the Day is from John-Mark McCafferty, Head of Social Justice with the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. In this piece John-Mark speaks about the work of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul as Faith in action. He also reflects on the generation of Irish children growing up in hotel rooms because they have no permanent home and the work that the Saint Vincent de Paul is doing all year round to alleviate suffering and to restore dignity.

The Words of Pope Francis
Pope Francis to young people: 'listen to your grandparents'
Pope Francis on Monday encouraged young Catholics to cultivate their relationships with their grandparents. Addressing a group of young people who belong to an Italian Catholic lay association called 'Azione Cattolica Italiana', the Pope spoke of the joy that derives from the coming of Jesus, and said that joy is increased and multiplied when we share it.
He invited the young people to receive the joy of Advent as they would receive a gift and to bear witness to it in their families, schools, parishes and in all places. The Pope especially invited them to share it with their grandparents – and with elderly people in general – and he encouraged them to listen to the aged whom, he said, "have the wisdom of life".
"I would like to give you a task: speak to your grandparents,(…) ask them questions, they have the memory of history, the experience of living, and this is a great gift for you that will help you in your life journey" he said. And Francis also pointed out the grandparents themselves need "to listen to you, understand your aspirations and your hopes"
"This is your task: speak to your grandparents, listen to them" he said.

when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with the flocks,
then the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
to make a little music with the heart…
And to radiate the Light of Christ,
every day, in every way, in all that we do and in all that we say.
Then the work of Christmas begins.
— Howard Thurman, adapted

Cue Card claims third Betfair Chase in four years
Cue Card won the Betfair Chase for the third time in four years as he produced an imperious performance to defeat the brave Coneygree at Haydock.
All the better for finishing third in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby three weeks ago, Colin Tizzard's big-race veteran proved too good for the 2015 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, who did not go down without a fight on his return from an absence of 377 days.
Coneygree led to four out under Richard Johnson, but Paddy Brennan was always happy on Cue Card and the 15-8 favourite gradually pulled away to score by 15 lengths.
Cue Card was backing up his wins in this race in 2013 and 2015, to win the first of three races needed to pick up a £1million bonus. He won the first two legs last season but fell at the third-last when holding every chance in the Gold Cup.
Brennan said: "It's unbelievable. I hadn't slept a wink since Wetherby, because I thought the horse didn't show everyone what he can do. I knew he was back.
"He felt unbelievable, just how he should feel. I was there a bit soon, but I just knew I am riding for a man who gets his horses extremely fit and I was going to give Coneygree every race I could.
"I know how good this lad is, and on his day not many can beat him. For me, he is a dream - it's a privilege to ride him.
"He's very special horse, owned by a very special person in Jean Bishop.
"He was unbelievable today."
Tizzard said: "He means everything. We've got a few other ones now, but then he comes and does this.
"He's absolutely sluiced up today and he's every bit as good as he's ever been.
"We schooled him this week and he jumped beautifully - he made it look so easy today.
"As for the £1m bonus, we are the only ones still in it. We went for the King George last year and that is the route we'll take again.
"He's got the adulation from the crowd now. For a few years everyone thought because he was so brilliant as a four-year-old he wouldn't last, but now people have latched on to him."
Trainer Mark Bradstock was delighted with Coneygree after so long off the track.
"I'm absolutely over the moon. He jumped super, he'd been off a long time, so we're delighted," he said.
"He's been off for over a year, so he is going to get tired. Coming to a Grade One first time out is quite an ask.
"He jumped super, travelled great. It looked like he was really enjoying himself. Hopefully he's all right tomorrow."

Surrogacy is not directly connected to adoption except in some cases and/or jurisdictions where an adoption may follow the birth. This information is a simplified presentation and is intended to provide an overview. This does not constitute and is not a substitute for medical and/or legal advice.
Surrogacy is often seen as an alternative to adoption, although adoption may be part of the process. Surrogacy occurs when a woman who is not pregnant agrees to bear a child for another/others who will parent the child. What differentiates surrogacy from designated adoption - where pregnant and adopting parents connect with one another prior to the birth and make an adoption plan - is that the surrogate, the woman who will bear the child, is not pregnant at the time a surrogacy agreement is reached.
Two Types of Surrogacy

Oak Bluffs Info
We have consistently returned to this Martha's Vineyard haven for almost ten years. The spacious rooms are nicely appointed, but it is the spacious grounds that are privately nestled on the lagoon that attracts us each year. The nautical activity on the lagoon, which include water skiing, kayaking, sailing, swimming and sunbathing, is a joy to watch on a summer day. All of this can be witnessed from a perfectly situated screened in porch. Add to that the option of a private beach to take in the sunny day or setting sun at night, and you have a fully serviced place to stay. The close proximity to activities in town gives a town and beach setting all at once. show more show less
We have rented many different properties on the island over the years but finally found the one we return to every season. Every year there is a new update to the property, and Pauline always stops in to check that we have everything we need. It is a great location as it is an easy drive to either Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven or Edgartown using back roads. We also love to bike from this location to anywhere on the island. The screened porch with its view of the lagoon and beyond make it an idyllic location. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on the porch, and spend most evenings out there. My parents now rent it for three weeks every September. show more show less

Blackhammer Chambered Tomb
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
across the middle of the chamber.
When Blackhammer was excavated the remains of 2 skeletons were found, one in the westernmost compartment and one in the entrance passage. Along with the skeletons were fragments of pottery, tools made of flint and stone, and pieces of animal bone. It isn't clear whether these finds were intended as grave goods, perhaps because the deceased person had used them in life, or whether they were part of a ritual observance.
Given the size of the cairn and the number of stalls, it seems odd that only 2 skeletons were discoveed. One reasonable theory is that the cairs acted as a cemetery for local communities over the course of centuries, and the communities probably cleared out older remains when new burials were made.
I found Blackhammer very impressive, and it helped that the modern windows let enough light into the interior to see properly! It was a bit disconcerting to see the walls of the chamber reinforced with concrete, but at least the modern materials make the cairn stabe and allow visitors such as our family to experience it today.
Blackhammer is one of 4 Neolithic cairns along the southern coast of Rousay, including nearby Taversoe Tuick, Knowe of Yarso, and, a little further west, the impresive 'Ship of Death' at Midhowe.

MADISON - A debate over building a new police headquarters that began last May was reopened by Councilman George Hayman during the Borough Council's work session Monday night.
The result was that another study will be done. The consulting firm of Edwards and Kelcey, Morris Township, did one for $5,000 last fall. It was shelved.
Police officials say their outdated headquarters in the Hartley Dodge Memorial municipal building on Kings Road is bursting at the seams, but in last year's study of options for building a modern headquarters elsewhere, the council deemed the projected price tags too high.
Said Hayman, "I think it's time we moved ahead" with a final study. If the need is proven, a new headquarters should be built, if the borough can afford it, he said.
Hayman said, "It was a perfectly good police station in 1935," when it was built, "but now we have three times as many police. They're cramped."
"Cut-and-paste" measures to provide more space will not solve the problem, he said.
Mayor John J. Dunne's proposal to rid town hall's attic of unwanted material to make room for police files was approved recently as an initial step.
The police headquarter's narrow hallways have been made narrower because they are used for storage, and most rooms have been partitioned to create more rooms.
Across The Street
Hayman said he favored Councilwoman Mary-Anna Holden's idea of tearing down the former Senior Center building at 10 Maple Ave., across the street from borough hall, and building a headquarters that would extend into the adjacent municipal parking lot.
"To me, the main question is whether Madison can afford it," Hayman said, adding, "Are we really in such dire political and financial straits we can't do this?"
Part of the cost would be recouped because it would cost less to renovate the Hartley Dodge Memorial municipal building to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Hayman said.
That is, if the police department is moved, the federally required elevator could be built into that corner of the building, instead of up through the middle. The last estimate of such a renovation, made two years ago, was about $2.3 million.
Council President Mark R. Peck said of Hayman's proposal to launch a new study, "I don't think we need any money to start."
Mayor Dunne said, referring to Edwards and Kelcey's report, "The big issue is an analysis of the existing space," to determine whether the police can make do. Councilwoman Astri Baillie asked whether the health department's move from borough hall to the new Civic Center on Walnut Street would free up enough space to provide the police with what they need.
Hayman said he didn't think so.
Baillie said questions had to be answered if the public is to be convinced of the need for a new headquarters.
Holden said she thought it could be done without raising taxes.
Hayman observed, "We haven't bonded for years," referring to long-term borrowing.
Dunne reminded the council of Chief Financial Officer Robert Kalafut's recent warning that austerity will be necessary in the near future, because revenue will be decreasing while salary and benefits costs rise.
Said Peck, "We should reach out to former members of the governing body" and others who have expertise in municipal planning. "In six months or so, we could have a product worth talking about."
The mayor responded, "I think that's an excellent idea," and asked Peck to present a list of names at the council's next work session, on Monday, May 13.
Peck's suggestion that a four-hour discussion be held some Saturday morning also met with approval.
List Of Deficiencies
Holden produced a report for council members on the police headquarters' deficiencies. It had been requested by Baillie.
The report noted that headquarters has 3,700 square feet of usable space.
According to the report: "Many of the existing rooms and spaces are shared and disorganized, as a result of lack of space. This has created a dysfunctional flow of inter-relating spaces, poor security, lack of privacy.
"The facility contains obstructed corridors and exitways. There is a lack of organized records evidence areas, a sally port and an arrestee processing area, a juvenile holding cell/room, and there is poor viewing of prisoners."
Thirty deficiencies were listed. For example: The arrest processing of suspects is conducted in a closet that "can barely accommodate one person under investigation, let alone adolescents who may be processed" along with adults, which could be "a huge liability issue."
After the meeting, Holden noted that the borough's 1992 master plan had a section on the police that concluded, "Police headquarters may require interior renovations and additional space."
Since then, the department's need for space has only grown, she said.

American, British Hono(U)R At Stake In International Language Conflict As English Spreads, So Do Battle Lines Over Which Flavo(U)R To Use
Sun., July 21, 1996
English has won the battle for paramount global language. But whose English?
There's national honor - or honour - at stake, and also money. English-language instruction is a multibillion-dollar business.
In most of continental Europe, the British version prevails - students learn to write "theatre" and "offence," not "theater" and "offense."
In Japan and most of Latin America, American style has the edge. Each style has its strongholds in Southeast Asia.
Canada has its own distinct, sometimes confused style that employs both U.S. and British usage. Just look at the 1995-96 pre-season guidebook put out by the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association. It mixed "centre" and "center" and "favorite" and "favourite." One player, Dwayne Whitfield, was described as having won college MVP "honors" his junior year and MVP "honours" the next.
If there's a trend, experts say, it's probably in favor of the U.S. style. American usage dominates on the Internet and other on-line networks, and multinational corporations tend to use U.S. spellings.
"In sheer numbers, there are more Americans, America is a bigger economic machine, so people tend to gravitate in that direction," said Ronald Butters, a Duke University professor who is an expert on the American dialect.
However, the British aren't ready to take a back seat in promoting their own language. The government-supported British Council, which runs 90 language schools worldwide, has launched a global program called English 2000 to defend and increase Britain's share of the market for English-language instruction - British English, that is.
Jane Moyo, a council spokeswoman in London, insists the British are making inroads into the Americans' back yard in Latin America and the Pacific Rim.
In Brazil, American English holds a slight edge - it's preferred for movie subtitles, advertising and instruction manuals. But in schools, the split is roughly 50-50, and about 120,000 people study at a British-run network of schools called Cultura Inglesa.
Donald Occhiuzzo, academic director of an English-language institute in Sao Paulo, said younger Brazilians tend to get British English first, partly because the British are better prepared to teach English as a second language. As students progress, the demand for American English increases, he said.
In Japan, occupied by U.S. troops for seven years after World War II, American usage dominates, and the British Council there is realistic.
"The more people who speak English of any variety, the better for us," said Dr. Martin Philipps, deputy director of the council for Japan. "That being said, we do seek to promote the study of modern British culture, including British English."
Germans who study English at school are taught British spellings, but are made aware of American usages.
Vivien Campbell, a Scottish woman who teaches at a German high school, said she points out, for example, that Americans say "sidewalk" while the British say "pavement."
But students are less interested in grammar and spelling differences than in American films, music and other aspects of U.S. culture, she said. "They are more interested in America than in England. They think America is great."
British English is dominant among older Russians and in formal settings like universities, in part because of old teaching materials. But in everyday life, especially among younger people, American English tends to prevail.
Canada has a split personality when it comes to English. Proud of its British heritage, yet pragmatic about the pervasive influence of its American neighbor, it borrows spelling styles from each culture.
The result: constant inconsistency. The prevalent Canadian style favors the British "theatre" over the American "theater," but the American "program" over the British "programme." "Organization" is spelled with the American "z" rather than British "s," but "defence" gets the British "c."
The Canadian government's style book calls for use of the British "-our" endings in such words as labour and honour. The Canadian Press, the national news agency that sets the style for many newspapers, opts for labor and honor.
The British concede American style dominates on the Internet and other global computer networks, but the British Council is developing British English lessons to be taught on line.
"Obviously it is the medium for the future," Moyo, the council spokeswoman, said. "American usage is dominant - for the moment."
