Accelerating Africa's food production in response to rising food prices: Impacts and requisite actions
"In Africa the global food crisis threatens the livelihoods of millions of people who because of high rates of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and food dependency are already exceptionally vulnerable. In better circumstances, Africa's agricultural sector would respond to rising prices by increasing food supply. But such a response is impossible without significant new policy actions on both the production and marketing of African agriculture. This paper assesses the likely impacts of two strategic policy options: doubling African staples production, and improving "market access" through regional integration and lowering transaction costs. Using an economywide multimarket model for 17 African economies and econometrically estimated parameters describing the relationships between growth and poverty and between public spending and growth, we assess the impacts of these two strategic options on Africa's food markets and its broader economic development. Doubling staples production significantly increases food security, reduces consumer food prices by roughly 25 percent, reduces producer prices by 10 percent (thus raising farm revenue), accelerates agricultural growth rates, facilitates broader economic growth through new agroprocessing and export opportunities, and lifts more than 100 million Africans out of poverty. Key policy actions are needed to move from this strategic vision to implementation. The first set of actions requires investing $38 billion from 2009 to 2013, or $7.5 billion per year, in a well-designed package of modern agricultural inputs and provisions. The second requires improving and extending transport infrastructure, especially major transport corridors and rural feeder roads. The third requires reducing tra*de barriers, which still remain much higher in agriculture than in other sectors. All of these actions are technically and financially feasible, but their timely implementation requires urgent initiatives by both national and international policymakers." from authors' abstract

A lot of people don't have cars while they're in college since they probably cost more for parking them in the city than anything else lol. You park them in a garage that'll cost, if you park them on the street you're most likely getting a fine.

Mark Hamill cast in British sitcom Man Down
Mark Hamill has joined the cast of the British sitcom 'Man Down'.
The 54-year-old actor, who is best known for starring as the legendary Luke Skywalker in the 'Star Wars' franchise', is to feature in the third series of the hit show, which also stars the British comedian Greg Davies.
The sitcom, which first aired in 2013, centres on the plight of Greg's on-screen character, who faces a life-defining choice of continuing with the teaching job he has always hated or ditching it to find something more enjoyable.
Starring alongside Greg and Mark in the new series will be 'Beverly Hills Cop' star Steven Berkoff and 'Blackadder' actor Sir Tony Robinson, who played the hapless Baldrick in the Richard Curtis-written show.
Mark's new role has not yet been revealed, but it is highly unlikely he be playing the part of Greg's on-screen father, a role that was previously performed by Rik Mayall until his death in 2014.
Shortly after Rik's death, Greg confirmed he had no intention of recasting the part, admitting he preferred to introduce a completely new character instead.
He shared: "Rik was the dream casting for me. He was a childhood hero of mine, and I look like him. And he was beloved, as you saw when he died.
"The adoration poured out for him. So never for a second did I think, 'That's OK, we'll just get another dad in'."
Meanwhile, Mark has joined the cast shortly after he reprised his most iconic on-screen role for the money-spinning 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' in 2015.
Prior to his appearance, Mark was consistently coy about whether he would star in the movie.
However, he and other members of the original cast, including Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, all made their long-awaited returns to the franchise last year.

AUSTRALIA'S best junior surfers will head to Shoalhaven in 2017 as part of the prestigious Surf Dive 'N Ski Australian Junior Surfing Titles.
"We are excited to be hosting the Australian Junior Surfing Titles in the Shoalhaven and at beautiful Culburra Beach," Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley said.
"We wish all the contestants well and hope their families and support crews enjoy what our City has to offer."
Surfing NSW CEO Luke Madden is looking forward to bringing the illustrious junior titles to a region that has already spawned countless champions.
"The Shoalhaven region has long been considered one of the jewels of the NSW South Coast and over the years has spawned the likes of Owen, Mikey and Tyler Wright as well as Jordi and Ty Watson," he said.
"It's a great privilege to be able to bring an event of this calibre to the region and showcase it to competitors from all around Australia."
Member for South Coast, Shelley Hancock, said the event would be a fantastic boost to the Shoalhaven.
"The South Coast is one of Australia's best surfing regions, and it's great to see the Australian Junior Surfing Titles coming to Culburra Beach next year," she said.
Six states are represented at the titles across under 14, 16 and 18 age groups in both boys and girls divisions at the event that is considered the benchmark of junior surfing in the country and a legitimate stepping stone to world stage glory. The Australian School Surfing Association Titles will be part of the event again in 2017.

text: Show Hide image Culture 3 September 2009 Wuthering Heights Some novels lend themselves to the small screen. This isn't one of them Sign up for our weekly email * Some books lend themselves wonderfully well to adaptation, and a few - very few - are even improved by the experience (John Galsworthy's incredibly boring Forsyte Saga, for instance; I have just finished watching a repeat of the 2002 adaptation on ITV3, an experience that has been heavenly in every way save for Irene's - or Gina McKee's - mysterious and immutable County Durham accent). Wuthering Heights, however, is not one of them. I have never seen a successful film or television version of Emily Brontë's only novel, and I do not expect that I ever will. Its complex structure, its poetry, strangeness and extreme violence work only on the page. Lose them, as any screenwriter inevitably will, and all you are left with is a bewildering, semi-sadomasochistic relationship and a few moody shots of the Yorkshire moors. Where's the shock and awe in that? Peter Bowker is a writer whose finest work is all his own (Blackpool, Occupation). When he starts messing with real people (Desperate Romantics),or someone else's stuff (A Christmas Carol), things go a bit wrong. His screenplay for Wuthering Heights (30 and 31 August, 9pm) took huge liberties with the novel, and though I do not object to this in principle, refusing to be a slave to your Penguin Classic is a problem when you are dealing with a book as singular as Wuthering Heights. I am not going to list every change here. I am not some possessive Brontë nerd, and this is supposed to be a TV review, not lit crit. Suffice to say that his "improvements" ranged from excising the novel's most troubling violence (I guess that puppy killing, one of Heathcliff's - and Hareton's - more casual crimes, would not have gone down a bundle with a commissioning editor in search of bank holiday treats) to smoothing out its elaborate time shifts (Nelly Dean, played by Sarah Lancashire, was here a minor character rather than the story's narrator). Result? Wuthering Heights-lite: less absorbingly queer than the real deal, and yet, paradoxically, infinitely more perplexing. You need to know an awful lot about Catherine and Heathcliff - not least that they shared a bedroom until they were 13 - even to half grasp why their wolfish, incestuous passion persists. Bowker, in his effort to move the action politely on, told us only that they were both a little wild. Oh, well. I am glad I watched it all the same; though it is certainly getting ever more difficult to ignore the way Andrew Lincoln, who played Edgar Linton, can do only one accent (Mancunian-ish), and that his performances involve much wiggling of his eyebrows and very little else. If casting failed with him - as it possibly did with Lancashire - it succeeded spectacularly with both Burn Gorman as Hindley and Tom Hardy as Heathcliff. Gorman, so quirky and affecting as Mr Guppy in the BBC's peerless adaptation of Bleak House, is a brilliant actor. His Hindley, a famous brute and the engine that powers the more wanton spite of his adoptive brother, Heathcliff, was mesmerisingly nasty. As for Hardy, he was the best Heathcliff I have seen. I must admit, however, that during his first few moments on screen, I was worried that he was playing him as Marco-Pierre White in riding boots, gangster-ish and quixotic. Heathcliff is no mere gangster, but a devil. As Nelly says of him in the novel, "I did not feel as if I were in the company of a creature of my own species. "There is something about Hardy's mouth - perhaps it is the unsettling contrast between his soft, pillowy lips and the teeth that they conceal, which look like mossy, tumbledown gravestones - that has you hanging on his every word, menace mingling with charm like the scent of cat's piss on roses. Thanks to him, little was required of Charlotte Riley's Catherine, beautiful and spirited though she was. I could not properly fathom her relationship with this particular Heathcliff, and I knew, both as a reader and as a viewer, that important details were being withheld. But, on the other hand, I sure as hell did not want their love to end. It is quite impossible to tear your eyes from Hardy, and when the titles rolled, I felt his loss.

Level 3 Communications said it will launch two residential VoIP services to more than 300 U.S. markets by the end of 2004.
The company expects to begin service in some markets by the second quarter. The services are respectively called (3)VoIP Enhanced Local and HomeTone.
Level 3 will market the "Enhanced" version of the product to cable operators, IXCs and other operators looking to offer residential voice services but prefer to use their own switching infrastructure. Under the model, Level 3 will provide local phone numbers, interconnections with the traditional telephony network, local number portability and E911 services.
Level 3's HomeTone service takes a turnkey, hosted approach, offering the functions of "Enhanced," plus calling features such as voice mail, call waiting and three-way conferencing. Level 3 said it will market the HomeTone product to ISPs and cable operators.

Question: A large CPG manufacturer initiated a network study to optimize
A large CPG manufacturer initiated a network study to optimize its manufacturing network to determine where to add a line to make a new product. The company had an existing plant in the U.S. it could expand and was considering new locations for the line in either in Mexico or Panama. The costs for the three scenarios are shown in Figure 7.2. The fixed cost for the new line is shown in millions of dollars. The cost of the product, the freight cost, and the duty costs are shown in terms of a cost per unit. The freight cost is the cost to get the product from the production source to the U.S. Distribution Center (DC).
View Solution:
The total demand for the line product is 200,000 units. When the model was run, the 200,000 units were made in Panama. The company was expecting production to stay in the U.S .because of the high transportation cost from Panama. Use the cost data provided to figure out why Panama was picked.

Let the Democrats Act More Like Democrats; Women Made Gains
Published: November 17, 1994
To the Editor:
Your Nov. 11 front-page article on the impact of gender on the 1994 election does not focus on gender in statewide elections, which would give a more realistic portrait of the gains women are making.
While it is true that all six women candidates for governor lost, just 20 years ago no woman had been elected in her own right. Today, eight states have elected women as governors. That six women ran for the post is progress.
The voter defines the jobs and function of senator and governor differently and along gender lines. Studies show that the job of senator, which involves acting and making decisions with others, is viewed as more legitimate for women candidates than the job of governor. Governors are perceived as leaders who act independently on difficult, technical issues like budgets, taxes, investments and pension plans -- issues still defined as male domains.
Thus, this election's issues of crime and taxes were experienced by men and women as issues better dealt with by male candidates.
You do not mention the record number of women nominated for statewide office since 1990: 16 for lieutenant governor, 17 for secretary of state and 14 for state treasurer. The office of state treasurer is being used nationwide as a steppingstone and training ground by women who eye the governorship.
More women than ever are running for state legislatures. Once women constitute 20 percent of a chamber, their impact on employment access, family issues, credit and pension policies will increase.
Women in both parties understand that political change is incremental and that the issues angering most of the electorate do not know any gender. ELLEN S. CANNON Chicago, Nov. 11, 1994 The writer is professor of political science, Northeastern Illinois U.

general for any purpose. It is my opinion that title could not pass under the donation law except to a specific tract within established boundaries, and after a survey and marking of the lines and setting of the corners, in accordance with law. Finally, the proof of residence and cultivation required by the seventh section was never made by McNear or any person for him. On this point counsel for the complainant has argued that the amended or supplemental notice, with the affidavits of two witnesses, filed in 1860, was a compliance on the part of McNear with the.provisions of the law as to final proof. But the evidence shows that these papers were not understood by the witnesses to have been intended to serve as final proof. The affidavits were not made in the district land office, before the register or receiver, but were taken by a notary public at Port Townsend, and wel'e never filed in the district land office, and there is no evidence whatever that the certificate provided for by the seventh section was ever issued. Mere affidavits taken before a notary public, and filed with the surveyor general, are not the proof which is necessary to fulfill the requirments of the law, and failure in this essential is of itself sufficient to defeat the claim asserted by the complainant to the land as an heir of the settler. Vance v. Burbank, supra. A decree will be entered that the complainant is not the owner of the land described in her bill of complaint, and that this suit be dismissed, with costs.
ALLISON v. CORSON et at. (Circuit Court, D. South Dakota, W. D.
No. 176-
December I, 1897.)
If a junior mortgagee of real property, which is not worth the amount due on the prior mortgage, pays delinquent taxes thereon, the senior mortgagee cannot secure a decree in equity restraining him 1rom obtaining a tax deed, without reimbursing him for such payment.
This rule applies although, before bringing suit, the sepior mortgagee has bought the property in under proceedings, instituted after the taxes were paid, to foreclose his own mortgage.
lt also applies although the junior mortgagee was a party to the foreclosure action, in which he sought unsuccessfully to have his mortgage dec1are!'l to be a first mortgage, and did not there set up his interest arising out of the tax payment.
Edwin Van Cise and Chase & Dickson, for complainant. C. S. Palmer, for defendants. CARLAND, District Judge. The complainant, a citizen of the state of Iowa, brings this action, as receiver of the Western Home Insurance Company, against the defendants, for the purpose of enjoining the defendant John L. Burke, as county treasurer of Fall River county, S. D., from issuing, and the defendants Henry T. Corson and
J. W. Russell from applying for and receiving, a tax deed from said Burke, as county treasurer, for lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, block No. 23, of the Second Minnekahta addition to the town of Hot Springs, S. D., which is alleged to be of the value of more than $2,000. All the defendants are citizens of South Dakota, except Russell, who is a citizen of Vermont. On the filing of the bill, an order to show cause was granted why a temporary injunction should not issue as prayed for in said bill. A restraining clause was inserted in the order. At the hearing on the order to show cause, the following facts appeared: On June 19, 1896, the complainant, as receiver of the Western Home Insurance Company, commenced an action in the circuit court for Fall River county, S. D., for the purpose of foreclosing a mortgage on the real estate hereinbefore described, which mortgage was given to secure the sum of $10,000, by Fred D. and Ella S. Gillespie, on June 17, 1890. The defendant J. W. Russell, as trustee for certain bond· holders, was the holder of another mortgage on the same property for $15,000, given by the same mortgagors. Russell was made a party defendant in the said foreclosure action, and therein set up the claim that the $15,000 mortgage was a superior lien to the mortgage which was then being foreclosed in said action. The foreclosure action went to trial, and the circuit court of the county of Fall River, state of South Dakota, on the 12th day of July, 1897, adjudged and decreed that the mortgage owned by the vVestern Home Insurance Company was superior to the mortgage held by the defendant Russell. n further appears that on the 31st day of January, 1896, the defendant Russell, finding that the land in question had been sold for delinquent taxes, and had been bid in by the county of Fall River, purchased from the treasurer of Fall River county the tax-sale certificates for the years 1892 and 1893, and paid, for the assignment of said certificates, $1,164.35; that this purchase was made while the defendant Russell was the holder aS,trustee of a junior mortgage on the land in question; that on the 1st day of May, 1897, defendant Russell, in order to secure funds to carryon litigation in connection with his trustee· ship, for value received, sold and assigned said tax-sale certificates to the defendant Corson; that the defendant Corson, at the time of the commencement of this action, was taking the necessary steps to obtain a tax deed of the land hereinbefore described; that said land is not worth more than one·fourth of the amount due on the mortgage owned, by the Western Home Insurance Company, which amount, as ad· judicated by the circuit court for Fall River county, is $16,618.26; that said land has been sold under said decree of foreclosure, and bid in by the complainant herein, as receiver of the Western Home Insurance Company. The bill also alleges certain irregularities in and about the assessment of the taxes for which the land was sold, and certain irregularities in regard to the manner in which the land was sold; but none of these defects, if they exist, go to the justness or ground· work of the taxes, and in view of the affidavits submitted by the defendant Burke, and of chapter 3, Laws S. D. 1895, this feature of the case made by the bill will be dismissed as without merit. The two grounds urged why an injunction should issue restraining the defendants Corson or Russell from receiving, and the defendant
Burke from issuing, a tax deed on the certificates purchased by Rus!Sell, are: First, Russell, as holder of the junior mortgage, could not acquire a tax title to the land in question while he so held it, as against the owner of the senior mortgage; second, if he could acquire such a tax title, and he held.that interest at the time he was made a party to the foreclosure action in the circuit court for the county of Fall River, then it was his duty to set up his claim in. that action, or be foreverbalTed. Corson, in taking an assignment of the tax certificates, does not stand in any better position than Russell, but he stands in just as good a position, and is entitled to be subrogated, so to speak, to the rights of Russell, whatever they may be. It will be necessary, then, to determine the relative rights and d.uties of the owner of the property and the senior and junior mortgagees towards each other, as to the payment of the taxes for which the land was sold; and their relative duties and obligations cannot be better stated than in the language of Judge Cooley, in Insurance Co. v. Bulte, 45 Mich. 121, 7 N. W. 710:
"It certainly cannot be saId that the second mortgagee owes any dUty to the first mortgagee to protect his lien as against tax sales. Neither, on the other hand, does the first mortgagee owe any such duty to the second mortgagee, or to the owner. To the state each one of the three may be said to owe the duty to pay the taxes; and the state will sell the interest of all if none of the three Shall pay. As between themselves, the primary duty is upon the mortgagor; but, if he makes default, either of the mortgagees may pay, and one of the two must do so, or the land wlll be sold, and his lien extinguished. But in such cases, where each has the same right, payment by one is allowed to increase the amount of his incumbr:ince; for in no other way could he have security for its repayment by the mortgagor, who ought to protect the security he has given. W):len, therefore, each mortgagee has the same interest in making payment of the tax, and the same right to do so, and the same means of compelling repayment, it may well be held that a· purchase by one shall not be suffered to cut off the right of the other, because it is based as much upon his own default as upon that of a party whose lien he seeks to extinguish. It is as just and as politic here as it is in the case of tenants in common to hold that the purchase is only a payment of a tax. But in equity this can only be so when the party paying is in position to add tbe amount of the payment to the amount of his lien. It has never been held that any other person can have the benefit of the mortgagee's payment or purchase without being under any obligation to repay him the cost."
In this connection it is well to bear in mind that, on the conceded facts in this case, the holders of the junior mortgage have no way of collecting the principal mortgage debt, saying nothing about the taxes that they have paid. By applying the following language to the complainant in this action, it becomes pertinent:
"No doubt, the first mortgagee had a right to insist that the purchase was in part for his protection, and to treat it as a payment merely; buf this was at his option, and it stood as a good purchase as to all the world, except as to those who might have equities in respect to it, and who should see fit, in proper mode, and by the observance of suitable conditions, to asse.rt. their equities. And one fundamental condition in every such case must be that the party claiming the benefit of the purchase shall do what is equitable in respect to it." Insurance 00. v. Bulte, 45 MIch. 123, 7 N. W. 710.
Complainant comes into this court under these circumstances, and appeals to the conscience of the court to prevent the issuance of this tax deed, and in no wise has tendered. or offered to pay the taxes
:which were paid to proteot the property of which he now claims. to be the owner. This court knows no such principle of equity and fair dealing. So much from the standpoint of the relation of the parties to this action; but, on general principles of equity and good con· science, the complainant does not stand in a position to enjoin the issuance of this tax deed without payment of the tax, so long as there is no just complaint against the groundwork or justness of the tax. As was said in Hart v. Smith, H Wis. 218:
"Nor do we understand that the rule long establIshed In courtll of equity, that he who seeks equity must do equity, is qualified or abrogated in favor of a party who seeks to remove a cloud upon his title to real estate by reason of lllegal proceedings, taken to enforce a valid tax assessed thereon; and that such party may demand, as a right, from a court of equity, that such cloud shall be removed without his doing what justice and equity demand,that is, pay the tax. None of the cases in this court recognize any such right on the part of the plaintiff, and we think no such right exists. It would be a gross impeachment of the power of a court of equity to deny it the right to demand of its suitors good faith and common honesty, before it shall be compelled to grant them any relief."
So, conceding that the purchase by Russell simply amounted to the payment of a tax, the complainant is not entitled to any relief until he shall pay the taxes paid for his benefit. It is suggested by counsel for defendant that Russell purchased the tax certificates individually, and not as trustee. It is sufficient to say that he could not do this, as it would be a violation of his trust. In the foreclosure proceeding, had in Fall River county, the defendant Russell was seeking to have his mortgage declared to be a first mortgage, and, if he had succeeded, he would have added the taxes paid to the amount of his debt; and merely because he failed in his efforts is no reason why he should be barred from asking the complainant to do equity. The order of the court will be that the restraining order heretofore issued in this action be, and the same is hereby, continued for the period of 30 days; and it is further ordered that unless the complainant shall pay the taxes represented by the certificates of sale. upon which defendant Corson is applying for a tax deed within said 30 days, said restraining order be set aside, and held to be of no force.

PATENTS-CONSTRUCTION OF CLAIM-BARREr,.HEADING MACHINES.
The Mulvaney patent, No. 437,785, for improvements in barrel-heading machines, is not entitled, in view of the prior state of the art, to a broad construction of the first and fifth claims, the novel feature of which consists in a counterbalanced ring on the outside of pivoted arms, so as to bring the bearing-pieces mounted thereon rigidly against the staves of the barrel, thereby forming a compressor; and these claims are not infringed by a device in which the old truss hoop is pulled down upon the barrel by the use of the well-known machine called "the Yankee cooper," or by a device in which the truss hoop is counterbalanced and pivoted to a rod moving vertically in a rigid standard, which Is permanently fastened to the bedplate of the machine.

Tonight, after a minor meltdown about overpriced prenatal vitamins (irrational, I know) we noticed our pipes rattling. Not when water is being used, but when water is not being used. There is a slow hum before the rattling happens. It has increased in frequency to somewhere between 1 and 15 minutes, it hums and rattles.
We called our water company and we considered it an emergency- are our pipes going to burst? Is this being caused by the water supply? We had no idea but didn't want to risk a flood. The water company guys came out to take a look and said there is a leak somewhere and believe the rattling to be caused by our new, one-year-old toilet. So tomorrow, along with Dave's family, we will be entertaining a plumber- hopefully they will find this is under warranty. Awesome.

President Barack Obama hailed the combat mission, saying that it "marks a milestone" for the United States and allied forces.
"For more than 13 years, ever since nearly 3,000 innocent lives were taken from us on 9/11, our nation has been at war in Afghanistan," Obama said in a written statement.
"Now, thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, our combat mission in Afghanistan is ending, and the longest war in American history is coming to a responsible conclusion."
However, is it really coming to a responsible conclusion?
Check Out: What War-Torn Iraq And Afghanistan Look Like To An America Soldier
A brief look at the economic, social and political challenges Afghanistan faces right now tells the actual war is far from over.
Worsening Insurgent Violence
Unfortunately, even after a bloody battle of 13 years, NATO forces failed to exterminate extremists from Afghanistan.
In fact, the Taliban organization has never been stronger and their improvised explosive devices have claimed thousands of lives this year.
"According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, IEDs are one of the chief reasons for civilian casualties in the country, which are set to hit 10,000 this year – the highest in any year since 2008 when the mission began to keep this record. A total of 3,188 civilians were killed and 6,429 injured in the first 11 months of 2014 m – an increase of 19 per cent on the same period a year before," The Independent noted.
Since attempts to negotiate with Taliban in Qatar have constantly failed and even the release of dozens of Taliban prisoners hasn't helped put an end to the terrorist attacks, insurgency remains one of the biggest challenges for Afghanistan.
Weak Armed Forces
After 10 years of fighting and some $62 billion of U.S. taxpayer money, it appears that the Afghan security forces are still not capable enough to protect their people. Terror attacks in the past year and the country's failure to counter Taliban insurgency is proof of this fact.
The Afghan government, however, thinks it is ready.
"Our sons and daughters of ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces) are in the lead, fighting to protect security interests. God willing, they will prevail," national security advisor Mohmmad Hanif Atmar said at the ceremony on Sunday.
Here's a question though: If Afghanistan really is prepared then why has a new U.S. mission been set up to train and send support for Afghanistan's military?
Embattled Government
The presidential election in Afghanistan this year was not free from controversy and corruption.
Although President Ashraf Ghani and his opposition rival Abdullah Abdullah support the U.S.-brokered unity deal, some of Abdullah's allies still believe Ghani's victory was a result of rigging and fraud.
Discord between the country's ruling party and opposition is perhaps the last thing Afghanistan needs right now. To fight off terrorists – on their own – it's imperative that top Afghan officials and authorities work together instead of against each other.

Devastated Economy
Earlier in December, the Special Inspector General For Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko said that much of $104 billion spent by the U.S. since the 2001 to fight terrorism risks being wasted "because the Afghans cannot sustain the investment without" continued donor support.
"In 2013 the war-torn country's annual revenue was only $2 billion, while its expenditure was $5.4 billion. The IMF expects the funding gap to remain at about $7.7 billion through 2018," according to Sopko's analysis.
This means that the economy of Afghanistan can't really get back on its feet without financial support from developed countries.
Thriving Opium Trade
The U.S. spent around $7.6 billion to crush the Afghan opium trade and failed miserably. In fact, opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan is at record levels, according to SIGAR.
"The recent record-high level of poppy cultivation calls into question the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of [prior U.S. government and coalition] efforts," Sopko stated. "Given the severity of the opium problem and its potential to undermine U.S. objectives in Afghanistan, I strongly suggest that your departments consider the trends in opium cultivation and the effectiveness of past counternarcotics efforts when planning future initiatives."

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Forget the fancy dinner this Valentine's Day, this year you've got a more adventurous choice.
The third annual "Butterfly Kisses" event is being held at Texas Discovery Gardens.
Sarah Gardner, PR & Marketing Manager with Texas Discovery Gardens shared with us what the event includes. "We feature a nice romantic evening stroll through our Butterfly House. It's just so nice to walk through here in the evening. It's a total different experience than during the day. You'll have crickets serenading you as you walk down the ramp."
You'll also learn about love in a whole new way with a popular talk on insect reproduction called "Bug Love".
Gardens told us the highlight for most is dessert. "We end the evening with tasting of chocolate covered insects. Meal worms covered in chocolate and chocolate covered crickets for the more adventurous."
But if bugs aren't your thing, no worries, the evening also includes champagne and non-insect hors d'oeuvres.
"Butterfly Kisses" is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on February 14. Reservations are required by Wednesday to ensure a spot.
Tickets are $28 per person or $40 per couple for members of the Texas Discovery Gardens and $35 per person or $50 per couple for non-members.

Sorry but that isn't what MS is doing.
MS isn't trying to match iOS and Android, they've looking to *leapfrog* past them.
That much they've said openly and repeatedly: their vision is one OS and one *app codebase* from phones to mainframes. Tablets that run the same apps as desktops, not two different codebases (say, MacOS and iOS or Linux and Android).
And yes, RT is a lightweight install compared to the x86 install simply because it doesn't carry the bulk of legacy code necessary for backwards compatibility on the x86 computers but it isn't a limited OS.
If that was all MS intended they would've simply put some advertising money to push WinCE instead of betting the farm on a new API set.
Historically, MS OSes have usually demanded high-end hardware resources--faster processors and more RAM than the low-end in use at launch--and then let the hardware catch up. It is only recently, with Win7 and the need to accomodate netbooks that MS developed an OS with low-end requirements.

Can I have submissions get sent straight to my NEW email address?Asked by swab04 on November 07, 2013 at 03:18 PM
I changed my email address that I originally created an account with. I changed it in my account settings on jotform but when I tested out the form it sent it to my old email address. Can this be fixed?
Sorry for the inconvenience that may have caused. With regards on your query, can you please share to us URL of your Form for further assistance?
Thank you!
Are you just using the "Test Email" button found on notification wizard upon testing your form in addition to my response?
Note: When testing email notification, you have to submit an actual submissions with your form. Clicking "Test Email" button found on the notification wizard will ONLY send emails to the email address that is associated to your Jotform account (the Primary email address). Simply open your form on "live mode" (click on "Preview") , fill out the form and submit a test-entry in order to see if the notifications are being sent correctly. You should get the notifcation on the specified email address.
JotForm Support
Hello swab04, thanks for giving us the form url.
I have looked into the Notification template
You can change it from "Setup & Embed" > "Email Alerts" > "Notification"
Proceed to click "Reply-To and Recipient Settings" button to see this page:
As you can see you need to change your email address on the Notification recipient and not from your JotForm account settings.
As what my colleague pinoytech has told you earlier, if you are just clicking the "Test E-mail" button to test your form then it will send to your email address from your account and not from the Notification recipient email address. You need to manually fill up the form and submit it to test the recipient email address by going to "Preview" mode and fill and submit.
If you need further assistance, please let us know or kindly create a new thread if it is a different topic. Thank you
Thank you so much for your help! You were extremely helpful and you fixed my problem:) A+ customer service
On behalf of my colleagues you are welcome, do feel free to get back to us wherever you need our assistance.

A lot of spots to explore. Swimming, swimming, swimming! Beautiful waterfall. Cool rock formations. A nice hang out area to meet people and bring friends and family. Awesome art on the rocks.
Eagle Falls is by far one of my favorite spots to go to in the Summer. It's accessible year round, but if you love to swim like me, the water is only warm enough in the middle of summer. Other than that, it's a beautiful sight to see year round!
It's located on the Skykomish River 2 miles east of Index. The drive down and back is beautiful as well, having a full view of Mt. Index. The coordinates are 47.79563 N -121.51414 W. Parking is a bit hazardous because it is on the side of Stevens Pass Highway, but it just takes caution.
The falls are on the right side of the highway - hop over the rail, head down a little path, and it will open up to big slabs of rocks. Depending on the year, the place is PACKED with people, however I think it's worth it because most the time people are in good spirits.
To the right of the river there is open water that leads to a rocky bank, and to the left are more amazing rock formations and eventually the falls. There are lots of places to park your gear and make a little nook with your group, and you're able to BBQ and what not, just make sure to pack out your garbage! Due to the high volume of people in summer season, a lot of trash can be left, but so far it hasn't been that bad.
There's a lot to do at Eagle Falls which makes it so much fun! You can just hang out and relax on the rocks, or you can boulder around, bring a kayak and paddle down the waterfall (if you're skilled enough) or float the river on a tube. There's a rope swing, as well as more than enough ledges to jump off of and a lot of places to swim - even a small little rapid you can shoot through! The scenery alone is worth the visit because the hollowed out rocks are just amazing.
Climbing over the rocks to get to the falls is worth it, as well, although some spots are hard to get over and back so think ahead if you have small children!

Great road stop.
This stop is Mile Post Marker 39. I stopped here with some friends and it is a fun place to jump in, and even has a rope swing up a little further.

There's a handful of things that pretty much sum me up: I'm 21, a mother to my crazy little 5-year-old boy, Enzo; and a student at the University of Washington, and I live for the outdoors. I grew up camping and studying botany and ecology (on a lower level of course) and I'm intrigued by everything nature! I may not have loads of cash to travel near and wide with pristine camping/camera equipment, nor do I have the time, but I try my best to get back to my roots and make more memories with my son and the people I meet on the way. Here's to many, many more adventures and cheers to nature and it's bonding magic!Follow

Did You Know?
Centuries ago, whenever manuscript writers inserted special instructions or explanations into a book, they put them in red ink to set them off from the black used in the main text. (They used the same practice to highlight saints' names and holy days in calendars, a practice which gave us the term red-letter day.) Ultimately, such special headings or comments came to be called rubrics, a term that traces back to ruber, the Latin word for "red." While the printing sense remains in use today, rubric also has an extended sense referring to any class or category under which something is organized.

Tips So You Don't Get STALKED Online
By Sam Hansen
Step 1: Stay Anonymous
.You need to stay anonymous - Use fake usernames that relate nothing to your name so people can't try to find out your real name and where you live. Plus someone could kidnap you and you wouldn't even know how they figured out that much about you.
Step 2: Be Private
Make sure that you are private so that not just anyone can get on your page. Like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and anything else. And make sure that you only accept people you know to be your friends. Because do you really want complete random people looking at all your photos?
Step 3: Don't Post Pictures About You
Don't post pictures of yourself that show where you are. You don't want to do this because if someone is trying to find you and, you are at that place all day it would be pretty easy for them to come and find you!
Step 4: Be Careful In Chatrooms
When you get in a chat room and you make new friends check with your parents if you can write letters to each. You should use an anonymous address or a business address so they don't know where you live.
Step 5 :Never meet people
Never ever ever meet someone offline in person. Also if you are planning to meet someone make sure that it is okay with your parents and that they are with you incase something does go wrong. And you never know the person you are meeting offline.
Step 6: Never Share Passwords
Never share your passwords with anyone. Not even your best friend you never know what could happen between you two. Also if you share a password someone could get on your page and post something you don't want posted.

How Do I Make A Wine Bottle Cake?
Decorating By HeatherDawnC Updated 19 Aug 2010 , 5:39pm by microbiology1
I am wanting to make a cake that looks like the box for a wine bottle and has a wine bottle in it. I was going to use shaved white chocolate for the filling around the bottle and attempt a wood grain on the box. I thought I could use my 6 in round cake pans and then cut them in half. I need to feed about 40 people and I'm having a hard time figuring out what my cake dimensions should be for that amount of servings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I have a tutorial on my blog on making a wine bottle in a crate box but it was a 14"x6" and fed about 28. You could always make the box wider/larger to get more servings.
great tutorial. I would use confectioners glaze rather than piping gel but thanks for sharing
There's also instructions in The Confetti Cakes Cookbook by Elisa Strauss. Page 203.
