Public Information Notice: IMF Concludes Article IV Consultation with Swaziland
September 13, 2000
|Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On July 19, 2000, the Executive Board concluded the Article IV consultation with Swaziland.1
Responding to an increase in domestic demand associated mainly with an expansionary fiscal stance, the pace of overall economic activity picked up in 1999, with real GDP estimated to have grown by just over 3 percent. Meanwhile, the rate of consumer price inflation abated to about 6 percent, as the impact of the sharp depreciation in 1998 of the South African rand (to which the Swazi currency-the lilangeni-is pegged) diminished. However, there appears to have been no reversal of the declining trend in private sector employment, and unemployment remains high.
The government budget (including grants) in 1999/2000 (April-March) moved to a deficit position estimated at 4¼ percent of GDP, owing largely to an increase in the wage bill (stemming from the full-year impact of a 15 percent pay raise) and larger subsidies and transfers to public entities. The deficit was financed entirely from foreign and nonbank domestic sources. Monetary conditions eased in line with developments in South Africa, but the interest rate on three-month treasury bills in Swaziland remained about 2 percentage points below that in South Africa.
Highly tentative estimates for the balance of payments in 1999 point to another, albeit smaller, surplus in the current account (including transfers) and, at year's end, Swaziland's net official international reserves were equivalent to 3¼ months of imports. Moreover, Swaziland's external debt and debt-service obligations have remained low, at the equivalent of 221/3 percent of GDP and just under 2½ percent of exports, respectively.
A number of policy actions were taken by the government in 1999 and others are imminent. These include a reduction in the liquid asset requirement for commercial banks; a lowering of the reserve requirement on the banks; the issuance of a revised inspection circular to improve the monitoring of bank loans; a further relaxation of foreign exchange controls; a reduction in the company income tax rate in line with the rate in South Africa, and a lowering of the top personal income tax rate; an increase in the sales tax rate; the issuance of guidelines for investment incentives; enactment of an Industrial Relations Act; the partial privatizations of Royal Swazi National Airways and the Swaziland Dairy Board; and larger allocations in the 2000/01 government budget for social services.
Although Swaziland is a middle-income country with a per capita GDP of US$1,340, adult per capita consumption for the poorest 40 percent of its population is equivalent to US$230 or less. Moreover, Swaziland's HIV prevalence is estimated at 22½ percent of the population aged 15-49.
Executive Board AssessmentExecutive Directors commended the authorities on Swaziland's economic performance since the conclusion of the last Article IV consultation in early 1999 and pointed, in particular, to the pickup in overall activity, easing of inflation, and relatively comfortable external reserve position. Directors noted, however, that the government budget had moved into deficit at a time when receipts from the Southern African Customs Union are expected to taper off, and that the country's HIV prevalence and continuing widespread poverty pose major challenges for the period ahead.
Against this background, Directors stressed the importance of pressing forward with reforms in key areas. They welcomed recent policy initiatives, but emphasized that further reforms, particularly in the fiscal, banking, and structural areas, are needed to achieve sustained growth, create employment opportunities, and, at the very least, maintain Swaziland's current living standards over the medium term.
Directors stressed that appropriately phased fiscal consolidation will need to center on expanding both the direct and indirect tax bases, strengthening tax enforcement, and restructuring of the civil service. Furthermore, they agreed that, within a constrained expenditure envelope, increased budgetary allocations will need to be accorded to health and education, particularly in view of Swaziland's AIDS crisis and the need to enhance the skills base of the country's young population.
Directors noted that Swaziland's commitment to the Common Monetary Area and the peg of the lilangeni to the rand had helped strengthen financial stability. They encouraged the authorities to remain committed to policies that protect the country's external competitiveness.
Directors expressed concern about the persistent weaknesses in Swaziland's banking system, as evidenced by the high level of nonperforming loans. They urged the authorities to implement long-overdue actions to enhance the regulatory framework for bank supervision, to increase the capital adequacy of banks, and to restructure and privatize the large and insolvent Swaziland Development and Savings Bank. Directors welcomed the steps being initiated in these areas.
Directors emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of structural reforms in order to help sustain broad-based economic expansion in an increasingly liberalized and competitive regional setting. In particular, they called for action on reforms relating to land tenure arrangements, the restructuring and privatization of additional public enterprises, and the implementation of labor-management conciliation mechanisms. At the same time, Directors encouraged the authorities to retain their new, transparent guidelines for foreign direct investment. They noted that the recent floods had severely affected Swaziland, and that this will require considerable reconstruction efforts and heighten the need for investment in infrastructure.
Directors observed that pervasive deficiencies in the quality of Swaziland's economic data hampered policymaking and effective surveillance, and called for the authorities to make further improvements in Swaziland's economic database. They also urged the authorities to ensure that the extensive Fund technical assistance provided to Swaziland is being put to effective use.

Full Transverse Colon Description
[Continued from above] . . . The transverse colon begins at the hepatic flexure, a sharp bend at the superior end of the ascending colon just inferior to the liver on the right side of the abdominal cavity. At the hepatic flexure, the colon turns to the left and crosses to the left side of the abdominal cavity as the transverse colon. Upon reaching the left side, the colon again turns sharply toward the inferior direction at the splenic flexure before continuing on as the descending colon.
The transverse colon is a hollow tube about 2½ inches (6 cm) in diameter and around 18 inches (46 cm) in length. It curves along its length so that the middle of the transverse colon is inferior and posterior to the hepatic and splenic flexures at its ends. Many pouches, or haustra, are formed in the walls of the transverse colon by contraction of the smooth muscle of the intestinal walls.
The transverse colon mixes feces by contracting small regions of the intestinal wall in a process known as segmentation. As the feces are mixed, bacteria ferment the waste material to release vitamins and a few trace nutrients remaining in the waste. Water, nutrients, and vitamins are absorbed through the walls of the colon to be used by the tissues of the body. The colon then uses slow longitudinal waves of muscle contraction known as peristalsis to push the feces along its length.
The walls of the transverse colon are made of four tissue layers: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. The mucosa is the innermost layer of epithelial tissue that borders the hollow lumen and is in contact with feces. Its name is derived from the mucus produced by goblet cells that line the surface of the mucosa to lubricate the transverse colon. Mucus protects the intestinal walls from friction as rough fecal matter passes along its length. The mucosa is also responsible for the absorption of nutrients and water from feces and the delivery of these substances to the bloodstream. Deep to the mucosa is the submucosa layer that supports the other three layers of the intestinal wall. Many blood vessels and nerves travel through the submucosa to provide nutrients, oxygen, and nerve impulses to the tissues of the mucosa, muscularis, and serosa. Nutrients and water extracted from feces are also returned to the body through the veins of the submucosa. The next layer, the muscularis, is made of several bands of smooth muscle that mix and move feces through the transverse colon. Lastly, the serosa is the outermost layer of the transverse colon that acts as the skin of the colon. Just like the skin of our arms protects what is beneath it, the serosa protects the transverse colon from damage caused by its surroundings. The serosa secretes serous fluid, a thin, slick secretion that prevents friction between the transverse colon and the surrounding tissues.

Rate increases, debt levels and the long-term financial health of the El Dorado Irrigation District dominated a panel discussion last Wednesday.
Sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots of El Dorado Hills, the panel features EID Board of Directors candidates Greg Prada, Dr. Dale Coco and Jake Flesher. Candidate Richard Englefield was absent due to another commitment.
Facing off in Division 4 are Coco and Flesher. In Division 2, it's Englefield and Prada.
Flesher, managing partner of a law firm in Folsom, said the election is about EID's rates, debt and spending. If elected, he said he would focus on rates by looking at them through the lens of the ratepayers.
Twenty-five percent of EID's budget is currently devoted to servicing its debt, he said — an amount similar to that paid by the city of Detroit before it declared bankruptcy. EID has more than $400 million in debt and has $30 million in unfunded liabilities, but they think they are in pretty good shape, according to Flesher. "Well I disagree," he concluded, explaining that rates have gone up 102 percent in last five years, plus 11 percent this year and another 11 percent next year. Flesher also wondered how long EID could stay in business when in 2012, for example, it overshot its budget by $4 million and only cut $940,000 in expenses.
Flesher went on to say that 73 percent of EID's rate (revenue) comes from Shingle Springs, Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills and he wanted to end that. He also advocated for a moratorium on new debt, saying that portion of the budget devoted to debt service will increase once interest rates go up again.
Largely agreeing with Flesher was Prada, a retired chief executive. Claiming EID was financially broken, Prada declared, "EID is financial irresponsibility on steroids" with runaway rate hikes of 102 percent from 2010 to 2015, including 11 percent next year. The district also has mushrooming debt levels approaching a half billion dollars including unfunded pensions and health benefits and $60 million of debt, according to Prada. With ongoing deficit spending of $15 million a year, if it was business, it would be out of business, he claimed.
The district has some ticking financial time bombs including unfunded pensions, covering health cost for retirees, deferred debt repayment and looming interest rates which he predicted would result in a 20 percent rate hike in the future regardless of any cuts, Prada added.
He asserted that EID sells less than half of its water and it already has plenty of water for all the development projects approved plus others proposed. The capacity added is done for developers, he said. As far as trimming costs, Prada explained that overhead at EID had increased from $7.5 million to more than $18 million over the last dozen years and one-third of rates pay overhead. That's too much staffing on Mosquito Road, he said.
Accusing the present board of rubber stamping everything, Prada said factors driving the rise in water rates next year are the $60 million in additional debt, a 7 percent wage hike next year for most employees and 6 percent this year, plus additional benefit costs. "
We need to stop increasing debt, slash overhead and stop the accounting gimmickry," he said. "I've previously been a CEO, CFO and COO and am used to turning around companies that are in the red. EID needs that kind of attention and that's why I'm running.
Dr. Coco, a retired physician, said it was time EID focused on "real solutions to the $370 million debt and stop runaway rate increases" — a long-term strategy that secures the district's water at reasonable rates and leaders with solid management experience to make that happen. EID's management has managed the board for years and it is time for the board to take control, he claimed.
Touting his management experience, Coco said he previously was the chief of staff at Barton Memorial Hospital and served on several oversight committees at Marshall Medical Center.
"I was a project manager who saved hundreds of millions of dollars and increased efficiency. I can do the same as an EID director," he promised.
"There are sewer rate increases every year. Our water rates have nearly doubled. We just had a 11 percent water rate increase and we will have another one next year. When does it stop?" he asked. "We need to get the rates under control. At best, EID has a $370 million dollar debt with one-third of every dollar paid going to service that debt. We also need to get our debt under control."
If operating costs were brought under control it would stop escalating rate increases, he continued, adding that projects were sometimes approved and built without the benefit of a cost/benefit analysis. EID has spent money on things that might happen instead of what will happen, he claimed. He also advocated for increased efficiency in all departments saying, "I have a methodology that can solve those problems."
With the moderator's questions completed, the audience chimed in. On the topic of protecting agricultural water rates, Prada noted that such users only pay one-seventeenth what others pay and there is a mismatch in rates. Coco and Flesher sidestepped the question by advocating lower rates for everyone.
Audience members also asked about salary increases. Prada said most staff got a 6 percent increase this year and will get a 7 percent increase next. Coco said there should be no salary increases for anyone as long as rates are increasing. He added that board members currently receive a monthly stipend of $1,250 for serving plus health insurance. Flesher — who said he was offended at hearing this information — promised not to accept a stipend if elected.
Asked about priorities, Flesher said EID needs to prioritize what will affect water and sewer rates. Prada responded by saying there are too many priorities and they should be limited by what the district has to spend. Coco advocated doing more than just cutting when setting priorities.

This revamp of GameArts' classic JRPG may boast gorgeous updated graphics, but at its core, its still very much the same Lunar: Silver Star Story that's been released and re-released multiple times on the Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Playstation, and GBA. That's good news for longtime fans, but it's also disappointing because with just a few tweaks, this version could have, and should have, been the definitive version of a much beloved classic.
Over the course of writing this challenging review, I've come to realize just how much Lunar has in common with Final Fantasy IV. That might seem odd to say, but hear me out, folks -- both games were originally released at a time when RPGs were still a niche genre, both have endearing stories full of melodrama and memorable characters, and both have been remade numerous times over the years. The latter point is particularly important in this case; fellow reviewer Jeremy Parish of 1UP lamented in his Final Fantasy IV DS review that there is no one "definitive" version of the game that can be recommended above all others. As I played Silver Star Harmony, I had the same feeling -- the game outdoes previous editions in many areas, but also has numerous faults that keep it from being the Lunar to play.
Lunar was originally released on the Sega CD way back in 1993, and earned a fan following thanks to its classic hero-coming-of-age story, colourful cast of characters, and pervasive humour. Alex's quest to become a Dragonmaster has since become one of the most remade RPGs, seeing releases on the Saturn, Playstation, and GBA. There's been fan dispute over which of these is best, with many still arguing that the Sega CD original has an innate charm that the tweaked remakes simply lack. Silver Star Harmony aims to go above and beyond all previous revamp efforts; it features story and gameplay elements selected from each version of the game, along with completely redrawn 2D graphics, new music, new voice acting, and several new story sequences (including a brand-new playable prologue).
And make no mistake about it: Silver Star Harmony looks great. The 2D sprites are large, lavishly drawn and animated beautifully, and the backdrops are equally impressive. The music is also excellent, though the all-new voiceovers are inconsistent, ranging from "good" to "ow my ears." But with these perks comes an addition nobody wants: excessive load times. Each setting transition takes five seconds, accompanied by a slooooow fade-out/fade-in effect. That doesn't sound like much, but there are transitions everywhere in Lunar; just wandering around town adds minutes of loading onto playtime.
What might also turn off some newcomers is the overall flow of the game. Lunar's pacing in terms of story development, exploration, and combat could be best described as "leisurely." Dungeons take a while to probe, dialogue exchanges are amusing but lengthy, battles are numerous and timely even if you auto-battle your way through most of them (due to the elaborate character animations and movement), and the story doesn't deliver any sense of threat or tension until you're a good ways into it. This factor has more or less been a constant throughout the numerous remakes, and it's one of the elements of Lunar that doesn't hold up as well against more contemporary entries in the Japanese RPG genre. Add the aforementioned load times onto this and you have a game that occasionally feels stuck in mud.
Those complaints might sound pretty damning, but the fact is that the core game is still excellent. Lunar is undeniably one of the best JRPGs of its day, filled with vivacity and liveliness to its setting, character, and dialogue that stood in sharp contrast to many of the stilted, dull settings and conventions that typified the genre at the time. There's a genuine heart to the characters and narrative that shines through despite some of its now-clichéd plot elements and archetypes. There's also actual challenge to the game -- you can use auto-battle to plough through low-level enemy grunts, but tougher foes will require more strategy than "buff a lot and keep casting spells to hit enemy weakness." The only real problem with that is... I just described almost every other version of Lunar. Why would you pick this one, then? The graphics, maybe, but with them come the aggravating load times and the hit-or-miss voiceovers. One could also argue the merits of XSEED's new English script against Working Designs' old efforts, but that's another huge can of worms best left unopened.
In the end, I just felt really conflicted about Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. The core game is a classic, time-tested RPG, and the visual overhaul is excellent, but technical caveats and arguable matters of personal preference prevent me from saying that Silver Star Harmony is now the definitive edition of Lunar to play. Even with its downfalls, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony still has one advantage over other editions: It won't cost you an arm and a leg on eBay.

Headaches Everyday
March 8th, 2006
Hi I am 21 yrs old and for the last couple of days I have been experiencing some really bad headaches on the right side of my head. I have really sharp pains and the worst thing is that my right eye hurts a lot!! I also get a really sharp pain on my eye. My eyes feel very tired almost like if they were very heavey. Iâm very worried.
The pain gets worse wheneverI move my head fast, mostly forwards or backwards, or walk or when I lean down. I get this severe shooting pain starting on the top right, inside of my head down behind my right eye into the sinuses behind my right nostril.
Please can anyjbody help me. This is not the fistr time it happens. About a year and a half ago I got an mri and cat scan but I had nothing. The doctor told me it was the pituitary gland because I was still developing but this time the pain has gotten a worser? Is it still the same and when will I stop developing? (this might sound like a dumb question)

You can visit your ophthalmologist to check your eyes, especially the right one. For now, you can ask your family physician about taking analgesics to help modify the pain.

Darla .
I interviewed Leony before I went back to work. My son was 3 1/2 months at the time. She said her daughter helped her, but her husband did and he was awkward and rough with my son. We set a rate and paid her a month in advance for 3 days a week: Weds- Friday.
Immediately I felt uncomfortable. The contract was very unprofessional, copies of stuff that were very faded and difficult to read, and there was stuff crossed out and written in illegible. First day I picked my son up, one side of his diaper wasn't fastened - he was soaking wet when I got home.
Daily I found so much of her hair in his diapers, bunched up around his privates - gross and creepy.
She was forcing him to drink four 4oz bottles a day - so everyday when I picked him up he was SOAKED in spit-up. I spoke to her several times about this, asking her NOT to MAKE him finish bottles but she ignored my instructions. She thought I was very young so she would tell me how to take care of my son, but she was totally clueless.
She would change his clothes all the time just because she said other outfits were "cuter"...the last day I picked him up she put 2 onsies on him...literally...TWO, one right on top of the other.
She'd take stuff out of the diaper bag and not tell me - I've lost so many wipes to her, I If I could smack herdon't know how she could honestly go through 2 full packages of wipes in 4 days. And my son was in size 1 diapers(I told her I prefer her using the diapers I provided): she used her own size 3's on him. My son is even on the smaller side so literally these HUGE diapers were just blatantly TOO BIG.
Leony got another child that she was charging more so she wouldn't watch my son Thursdays - signed contract and everything.
She was shocked we were going to find a new sitter. Seriously..get a clue.
I would avoid this daycare if you have an infant. I am not sure how older children do there but I feel as if there is a complete lack of knowledge on how to properly care for children.
I was only in her living room once when children were in there, they always met me at the door and rushed me out. I could always hear children crying and they were not attentive to it.
I am sure they meet the requirements for a licensed daycare, but seriously on a person level I am so upset my son went through this for almost a month.

Artist: Alexander Gardner (American, Glasgow, Scotland 1821–1882 Washington, D.C.)
Date: May 1864
Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative
Dimensions: 17.2 x 23cm (6 3/4 x 9 1/16in.)
Mount: 27.7 x 31.8cm (10 7/8 x 12 1/2in.)
Classification: Photographs
Credit Line: A. Hyatt Mayor Purchase Fund, Marjorie Phelps Starr Bequest, 1986
Accession Number: 1986.1166.2
Gardner was an expert in the new wet-collodion-on-glass-plate photographic process and was manager of Mathew B. Brady's Washington, D.C., portrait studio. He split with Brady in November 1862 and formed his own company, taking with him many of Brady's best photographers. Gardner and his corps, like Brady's, produced a vast photographic documentation of the Civil War.
Here, Union soldiers pose for the camera in deliberately casual attitudes on the front steps of the Confederate commander Robert E. Lee's mansion, which was confiscated by the government in 1861. Laying blame-literally at Lee's doorstep-for the vast suffering of the Civil War, the Union Army in 1864 began to bury its dead on Lee's property in what later became Arlington National Cemetery.

Black Friday Shopping Tips Thrifty Thinking
Black Friday has been a fun time in the past. I had somewhat enjoyed the atmosphere of all of the shoppers out and about (except the part about getting up at 4:50 am to be at Walmart around 5:00 am, oh, and the long lines, and the overflowing parking lots…). Well, maybe it's not all that great. Anyway, I have never been one to get up earlier than 4:50 am to go shopping on Black Friday. I have my limits. A deal at 3 am isn't worth breaking up precious sleep.
Well, Black Friday was commercial five, ten years ago, but it's so much more commercialized now. It's very sad that Black Friday is bleeding into Thanksgiving Day. Starting the shopping excursion at midnight and now 10 pm or 8 pm on Thanksgiving? That just doesn't make it Black Friday anymore! What are they going to start doing next? Opening on Thanksgiving morning just so people can get deals? (I know Kmart has been open for years on Thanksgiving. I even worked one Thanksgiving in college at Kmart.) A head start on Christmas shopping? Thanksgiving is not about the deals! Make sure you stop and be with your friends and family, enjoy each other, enjoy the food, enjoy the fellowship, and be thankful.
With that said, here are 9 tips from my own personal experience for having a smoother shopping experience on Black Friday.
- Black Friday ads can be huge these days. So take a permanent marker, circle the items of interest, and on the front page, write what the item is and page number if helpful. A lot of times we just have one or two items of interest per store, so this makes finding the items clear and super easy in the ad.
- Make a plan of attack. Decide where you should go first based on the item(s) you think may sell out the quickest and where you are in proximity to those stores. I put my ads in the order of places I want to go. It makes it easy.
- Go with a friend. Divide and conquer. One person can be parking and the other hunting for an item, or one person can be standing in line (depending how long the line is) while the other is hunting for an item, etc….
- Please don't bring young kids. Please let them sleep. I always feel so sorry for those little ones!
- I learned this from a family member that previously worked at Walmart. If you have a hot item that seems to sell out quickly like a toy, go to the front of the store where they have the go-back carts. Often times people try to buy beyond their means, their credit cards get declined, the toy of interests end up in the go-back carts, and the employees can't get the items back on the floor because they are busy checking. About 7 years ago I had my eye on a Cabbage Patch Kid. $10. Walmart. Back then, Walmart opened at 5 am, and we were there about 5:10 or so. The Cabbage Patches were wiped out. We went to the front of the store where the go-backs were and found one. Success!
- If you can live without a cart, don't get a cart. It will slow you down!
- A lot of stores will price match, even on Black Friday. Price match at the store that doesn't have the item on sale (where they will have a lot more of the product), and avoid the letdown of not getting your item at the store with the sale. I have brought a Target or Fred Meyer ad to Walmart and got the movie I wanted easily.
- Shop around, and know your prices long before Black Friday (or Cyber Monday) arrives. Just because an item was in a Black Friday ad doesn't mean that it's a great deal. In some cases I have found better deals between Black Friday and Christmas on certain items. A few years ago we were shopping for a TV during the holidays and got the best deal right in the middle of December without clawing and grabby hands, either.
- My biggest and final tip is "don't buy based on emotions." Don't let the thrill of the hunt cause you to buy something you really don't know what you'll do with once the item is in your home. (10.) And if you happen to go that far and buy it, don't be afraid to return it, either. I have had to let good deals go because I don't know anyone it would be good for. Just let it go.
I hope some of those tips help!
These days stores are emailing their Black Friday ads early. Every Christmas season I am always looking for good deals on Pyrex, Crock-pots (for wedding gifts not for me:), socks and good movie titles. We really don't buy much in the the way of movies these days, but it seems like you can get some super deals during the holidays.
I have already received the Fred Meyer and Walmart ads, and Black Friday is two weeks from today. I hold out buying socks most of the year to get them 1/2 priced at Fred Meyer every year, and this year is no different. I need more black and brown socks, and lots of white socks for the kids in case you really care :). I'll try to get some tights, too. I saw a 6 quart Crock-pot at Walmart for less than $10. That would make a fabulous wedding gift! So if they have them when I get there, great! If not, I won't fret.
Here's a little blessed story from last year. Since Target's ads have typically run Friday and Saturday with no special times, I haven't felt pressed to be there when they open, because I am not a fighter for a product. It's absolutely not worth it to me to stand in line, not to mention in the COLD, for hours and hours to TRY to get a product, just to walk away empty-handed. No thanks. Not for me. Not worth it. So last year I figured the $19 scooter I wanted to get my child at Target was going to be gone right away, so I didn't even check it out on Black Friday. We went to Target the next day for something else, but I looked in the sports section, just in case a scooter happened to be there. I was PLEASANTLY surprised to find they still had a few scooters in stock. God's grace I say.
Will you brave the morning and get out early on Black Friday or do you avoid the crowds? Do you look for certain items every year? Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Q: water on front passenger floorboard on 2008 Ford Edge
I just bought this Edge and I noticed the floorboard being wet when it rained last week. Then I took it through the carwash and it was wet again. I do have the extended car warranty, I really hope that it covers this.
| |
if you park under a tree you may have debrie on the firewall under the hood that has your cowl drain blocked. raise your hood and be sure that the area between the firewall and windshield are clear and at edges were the fenders and hood come together. recheck if that isn't the problem you can have someone run a water hose around your windshield with someone inside looking for water to leak. If that does you have a bad seal around the windshield
If your under 36,000 miles it should be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty.

Holy Family NS benefit from big turnout at track
PARENTS and pupils turned out in strength to support a fund-raiser for the local Holy Family School at Tralee Track last Saturday night and the featured buster race was won in pretty impressive fashion by Oak Chard (Burnpark Champ - Baltovin Maggie), owned by Peter Regan, of Baltovin, Ardfert.
There was a high defection rate of three in the race and the absence of Broadway Wonder allowed Oak Chard to run from trap 1. He certainly made the most of the opportunity, showing terrific early pace after an average break to lead off the first bend and nothing stood a chance of catching him after that. He finished four lengths ahead of another reserve, Moybella Dreamer, in a fastest of the night 28.72 (.20 fast).
The live racing had serious competition on television from meetings at Shelbourne Park, Limerick and Wimbledon and, at Shelbourne Park, there was a marvellous Kerry victory at the quarter-final stage of the Sporting Press Irish Oaks. It was achieved by Melodys Diamond, jointly owned by Paddy Collins, of Ballylongford, and London-based Duagh man, Patsy Byrne, and trained by Declan Byrne.
Melodys Diamond produced what was surely the best run of her career to beat the Owen McKenna-trained Airforce Diva by five and-a-half lengths in the quite wonderful time of 28.15 and she must have every chance of going on to outright victory in the event.
The joint owners are two tremendous supporters of the doggy game, track and field, and there will certainly be a lot of people who will be rooting for Melodys Diamond at the semi-final stage this Saturday night. Hopefully, she will at least qualify for the final a week later.
Other winners at Tralee last Saturday night: Trebel Tanvir, 29.47; Laune Ranger, 18.04; Trip To Tour, 29.28; Sky Ruby, 18.13; Weighbridge Faro, 29.51; Southern Sign, 18.16; Dungara Boy, 29.51; Manhattan Rebel, 29.57; Big Fair, 29.07.

1997 Ford Thunderbird LX, 4.6L V8 and 197,000 miles (really :-).
While in park, idle seems to run at about 650-700 RPM and the engine runs smooth (having the a/c on or off doesn't matter).
While in gear, however, the idle slips down to about 500 RPM which causes the engine to run rough and vibrate (both physically as well as audibly). The actual idle can vary from this point as a low back up to normal from time to time. As in park, having the a/c on or off doesn't have any significant impact on the behavior.
Wondering about possible solutions. One suggestion is to throw a new idle air control valve at it, but before I start to spend money on random parts, wanted to try and get some concensus of possibilities.
have the same problem?

Reflections on the occasion of the death of an ex-lover. We fucked and sucked in a wild variety of places: national forests, her mother's house, cars, on a train, backstage at three theatres, on a college football field, on my office desk, and in an elevator...
* * * * * * *
I googled a friend's name the other day and found out that she had passed away...
There was a lot of sadness, of course, and when I went to the obit posted on the mortuary's website, there was a beautiful picture of her; one that I used to have a copy of and which was taken in 1986. It was her favorite and her pretty face smiling out of the frame spoke volumes about her spirit and her unshakable joie de vivre. When I knew her, she was a performer, as I was. We worked together at a small commercial theatre and became lovers one drunken night after a show. She was staying in the actors' quarters in the theatre, just down the hall from my room. In the months that followed, we enthusiastically and hungrily explored each other's bodies and told each other things about our former partners that I never expected to tell anyone and which she said she had figured would always be secrets.
I read the tributes that everyone else had posted on the mortuary's site and they were all sweet and heartfelt but they only explored one side of her. Wherever she is now, I think she'd want the other side told...because she was never ashamed of her sexuality and explored it avidly, even voraciously, and, for a time, I went with her.
That first night, I got drunk and had a black-out period. It was the second time it had happened and it was what eventually caused me to stop drinking. I "woke up" to find my cock fully embedded in her cunt, both of us nude, in dog-style position on her bed. The lights were out but there was a distant streetlight filtering in through the open window and her beautiful ass was pumping energetically as I held her waist and penetrated her hole. The first thing I noticed was how tight and warm her vagina was. I remember groaning with pleasure. I had wanted her from the first time I saw her and masturbated repeatedly, imagining her mouth on my cock or the sight of her cunt swallowing up my erect cock. Now, finding myself fucking her, I was immediately and wildly excited. I didn't remember any foreplay and I told her that while we continued to fuck. I asked what I had done. She laughed and said that I had started running lines with her and suddenly tossed the script aside and said, "I can't stand it anymore!" She said she kissed me quickly and stripped down. She, it turned out, had been fantasizing about me, too. I asked if she had sucked my dick and she said that was the first thing she had done. I said I didn't remember and she reached over and turned on a lamp. She turned around, still on her hands and knees, and took my dick into her mouth. She sucked it firmly and turned her face up to me, gazing into my eyes as she ate cock. She slid it out of her mouth and smiled up at me, jacking it as she talked. "I'm a good cocksucker," she smiled, "I want you to remember it." And then she plunged it almost all the way into her face while I watched.
We fucked all night, that first time, working ourselves into every position we could think of. She laid with her head off the edge of the bed and sucked me, pausing periodically to tell me how good my dick felt in her lips and cunt and urging me to fuck her mouth. She massaged my nuts while she sucked me and pulled us both in front of her make-up mirror so we could see where my cock slipped into her body. She sat and smiled and slid up and down my meat, pausing at the top to see her cunt with just the head of my dick inside it. She worked her ass in tiny circles, massaging the head with her vagina before plunging back down to engulf the entire shaft. She talked about what we were doing easily and freely, telling me to stick my tongue up her cunt or finger her asshole without any self-consciousness at all. For me, who has always enjoyed dirty talk, it was the best sex ever.
After that night, we had sex every night during the run of the show. She would come into my room and suck me off before we performed each night and I would eat her pussy in return. She loved to see me masturbate and would watch me shoot off and then avidly lick the cum off my dick, hands, and stomach. One afternoon after the show opened, we laid on my bed and fucked for four straight hours, stopping when I had the urge to cum or when we got tired, but I stayed fully erect the entire time, and finally shot off into her mouth when it was time for dinner. She never tired of it, never seemed to get sore or bored, and pumped her perfect ass eagerly every time I thrust into her hole. That night, she stripped down to just high heels and bent over the bed. I entered her from behind and fingered her ass until she came, violently, and collapsed onto the bed and slept.
When I went on to another theatre, she went home, which was only about twenty miles from the new place. At this theatre, I had the entire top floor of a school dorm to myself, as the company worked during the summer. She would come over with an overnight bag and park by the back door. I'd meet her at the rear door and we'd climb the three flights to my floor. On the way up, I would walk behind her and reach up her skirt. She never wore panties when we were together and I would slip my finger up her cunt as she walked. At every landing, we would stop and kiss. She would reach down my pants and massage my cock while I rubbed her clit and slid my fingers in and out of her. Occasionally, later at night, I would kneel on the steps and eat her slit from below. Whenever we got to my room, I would lock the door while she stripped down. We never even talked about it. She would just walk in, drop her bag on the bed, strip off her dress, and get onto her hands and knees on the bed, waiting to be entered. My cock was always ready for her, from watching her ass and playing on the steps, and I would kneel behind her and insert my dick, pausing to rub the head on her clit and along her steamy, soft cuntlips. She always gave this little satisfied sigh when I penetrated her holes. She'd lean and push her cunt as far back as she could and then begin to rock back and forth, using my cock as she moaned softly.
There were many occasions when we'd fuck to climax and then plan to go out to eat. Almost every time, she would still be aroused by the fucking and groan as we got into the car. "I want to fuck!" she'd whisper urgently, and I'd make sure we weren't being watched while fishing my dick out and lifting her skirt, exposing her. She would lean to her left and raise her right leg as I took my cock into my hand and worked it up her vagina. During these "Round Twos", she would be even more aroused than the first fuck. "Do you like fucking my cunt" she'd whisper. "Can you feel how hard my cock is" I'd ask. "Yes!" she panted, "That's how much I like that hot little cunt!" I'd reply.
We spent an entire weekend at her apartment in another town, naked and having sex constantly and talking about our lives. She told me her fantasy was to have a cock in her mouth and one in her pussy at the same time. She actually tried to find a guy to make up the threesome while we were at a club, one night. Ultimately, she gave up because she just wasn't attracted to any of them. When we got home, I confessed that one of my fantasies was to have a woman on all fours and fuck her mouth and pussy alternating. "Well," she smiled, "Let's try it!" She would grab my hips and hold my dick in her mouth if she wasn't ready to stop sucking and this session lasted over an hour. She laid there afterwards and smiled and said, "Well, that was like having two cocks, after all!"
We fucked and sucked in a wild variety of places: national forests, her mother's house, cars, on a train, backstage at three theatres, on a college football field, on my office desk, and in an elevator, just to name a few. She once told me that sex was what she enjoyed most. "It's free," she shrugged, "It makes me feel good, makes me feel close to the other person, and nobody gets hurt."
A few months after we met, she got a gig with a traveling production of a play we both liked. I was involved in starting a theatre company and decided to stick with it. I knew she would probably move on and that's what happened. We lost touch and then lost track. I discovered she had passed away when I thought of her a few days ago and googled her name.
I hope reading this was at all exciting for you. If so, that's a tribute to her, her wild energy, good heart, and uninhibited, unashamed sex drive. That was a real and genuine side of her and I thought it should be written down, somewhere, so that the story will have been told.
Goodbye, dear girl. As I turn into an old man, memories of you make me warm and happy, still, every time I call them to mind.

There's a difference between Alex McLeish's bizarre exit from Nottingham Forest and the average managerial departure.
In McLeish's case, he seemed as keen to go as Forest were to lose him. Something in the past 40-odd days – broken promises, a difference of opinion or perhaps the shambles concerning George Boyd – pushed him to the point where leaving made more sense than sticking around. I'm guessing the decision was basically his.
Elsewhere in the Championship, this season has been a bloodbath. Management's always been a fragile profession and only a select few coaches have any job security but the atmosphere in the English leagues is getting out of hand: cut-throat, desperate and seriously impulsive.
The demise of McLeish at Forest is no more ridiculous than that of Sean O'Driscoll before him. That's twice in less than two months that Forest's owners have left us shaking our heads. But they're not the only bunch with itchy trigger fingers. I've lost track of the number of sackings we've seen in the Championship.
Some would call it the price of under-achievement but too many coaches fall foul of unrealistic expectations or promises that aren't met. I'd love to know what the average life-expectancy (in professional terms) of a Football League gaffer is. We're just about at the point where completing one full season with the same club is breaking the mould.
I blame that on the lure of the dream ticket offered by promotion to the Premier League. It's such a massive carrot and so lucrative that owners are becoming blinded to the reality of league football.
I know it's hard to accept this but only three teams from 24 can go up in any one season and only three can go down. To put that another way, 18 clubs are going to play 46 games and find themselves in no better or worse situation. You can show ambition, you can invest, you can thrown the kitchen sink at your division but you can't always stop three sides from being better than you.
I sometimes wonder if that fact even registers any more. Given that promotion at the first time of asking is far from guaranteed, doesn't it make sense to give a coach at least a full term if not two to have a proper go and a fair crack of the whip?
Aside from anything else, I dread to think how many millions of pounds are wasted each year in paying up the contracts held by sacked managers. McLeish must have walked away with a fair few quid for 40 days' work, money which Forest could have ploughed into his squad instead.
Those who go back further than me will say it's always been this way; that Brian Clough lasted for only 44 days at Leeds. I know that's true. But I've never felt such a mood of desperation when it comes to reaching the Premier League.
Very few Championship clubs see consolidation as a worthwhile objective any more or consider it to be anything other than a bit of a failure. I was disappointed when Leeds finished seventh in 2011 but I still felt that they'd had a good season. The reason I criticised them so heavily last season was because they were clearly going backwards.
But when I see the managerial merry-go-round, I think back to Alex Ferguson and the moment when Manchester United almost sacked him. He kept his job and he's gone on to be one of the best British managers of all time. It's not only him. Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Don Revie – would any of these men have had a chance in the modern era? Or would Revie have been told that finishing second in the league and losing the FA Cup final in the same season just wasn't quite enough for us, thanks?
Clubs who appoint managers expecting overnight miracles really do need to get a grip.
Morison good for debut goal
Where to start with Wolves against Leeds? One team who struggle away from home against another team who are struggling full stop.
On the face of it you'd think that 27/20 about a home win at Molineux is a generous price but I don't see how anyone can have confidence in Wolves. They're a complete mess at the moment and Leeds' run of away defeats in the league has to end eventually. So why not tomorrow, at 17/10 with Sportingbet?
From reading the papers this week, you can sense some urgency in both camps and I can see the game being very open and quite feisty from the start. I'll be taking 2/1 about the first half producing more than 1.5 goals and 6/5 about Leeds scoring once or more before the break.
United should have Steve Morison, pictured, leading the line and he's the sort of big, combative character you want when the chips are down in the Championship. I'm not too fussed with a price of 6/1 about him scoring first but 2/1 about him striking any time on his debut is a bit of a steal.
The same goes for Wolves' Bakary Sako – also 2/1 to score any time. For a full range of odds and markets for Wolves v Leeds, go to www.sportingbet.com or download the app.

The Daily WTF: This Thailand's Got Talent Contestant Gives New Meaning To The Term 'Body Paint'
I'm not actually shocked by the woman in this video, who stripped down on Thailand's Got Talent and shimmied against/painted a canvas with her paint-slathered boobs. It was much more upsetting when America's Got Talent famously featured a woman who crushed a six-pack with her gigantic breasts. Compared to that, this is amusing but not particularly titillating or (sorry to say) talented. More like the woman has giant cojones and deserves her six minutes of fame.
The "wtf" refers more to the prudish Thai judges, who freaked out when 23-year-old Duangjai Jansaunoi came out onstage and stripped. She had started things off by painting an outline of a person with a paintbrush, but then the music started and she decided to turn her breasts into the paintbrush. I'll admit it was a bit racy the way she squeegeed her chest against the canvas; and the audience reactions were pretty funny.
But then the sole female judge buzzed her out and later explained, "I'm not saying this is not good, but it's not appropriate. Within the Thai cultural context, I don't support this." The cultural context being Buddhist and conservative. (Never mind that viewers online noticed that this judge, an actress, had posed for a magazine shoot where she was topless and covered in melted chocolate. I guess if you get paid it's not vulgar?)
Obviously this was all orchestrated; the two handlers who put her onstage looked shocked, and yet someone on the casting or production teams must have known what Duangjai was going to do. The producer claims that it was a total surprise, but I'm calling bullshit.

|Aloo Paratha
|Aloo Paratha
|Preparation Time
|15 mins
|Cooking Time
|20 mins
|Aloo Paratha
|Wheat Flour
|2 Cup
|1/2 teaspoon
|3/4 cups+3 teaspoon
|2 teaspoon
|4-5 medium sized
|To Taste
|Cumin Powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Coriander Powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Chilli Powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|Green Chilli Finely chopped
|1/2 teaspoon(Optional)
|Corainder leaves finely chopped
|1 teaspoon
|Ginger-garlic paste
|1/2 teaspoon
|Aloo Paratha
- Take wheat flour in a bowl and add salt and 1 teaspoon oil and mix well. The oil which we add before preparing the dough help in making the paratha crispy. Add water little by little to make a smooth dough. Again add 1 teaspoon of oil and knead well. Close the bowl and let the dough rest for 15 minutes
- Meanwhile lets prepare the filling. Wash the potatoes and pressure cook it. You can also cook it in microwave.Peel the skin of the cooked potatoes and grate it nicely and keep it ready to prepare the filling. We can mix the masalas directly in this grated potatoes and mix well along with salt. This is the uncooked version.
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add oil, an when the oil is hot, add ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, green chillies and salt and stir for a minute. Now add grated cooked potatoes and coriander leaves and mix well
- Keep the filling in flame for 1 more minute and then remove from flame. Now our aloo filling is ready to prepare scrumptious parathas. Take the wheat flour and cut it into equal pieces. Its always good to have equal pieces.
- Make small balls out of the cut dough. Take 1 ball of dough and using the rolling pin, roll it to a small circle. We can also use our hands to spread the dough to a small circle without using a rolling pin. Place one big ball of aloo filling in the middle of the rolled paratha
- Carefully close all the edges of the circle and remove the extra dough and pat the ball of dough in the middle to form a patti. We can grease our hands with wheat flour and slowly and evenly we can spread the paratha so that the whole filling is evenly spread.
- We can also roll the stuffed paratha using a rolling pin. We can sprinkle some wheat flour before rolling so that the filling does not come out or stick in the rolling pan. No need to roll so thin like a chapati. Make thicker paratha
- Heat a tawa, add rolled paratha and add butter and allow the paratha to cook in one side. After sometime turn it to other side and cook it
- The yummy and crispy paratha is ready to serve with curd
|Aloo Paratha
- Do not add too much of oil while preparing dough, as it may make the paratha brittle
- If we dont have much time, we can just cook the potatoes and add the masala and salt and mix well, instead of cooking the masalas
- While we spread the paratha after filling with our hands, we may get some air bubbles, gently break it using a fork and then keep rolling
- Try to use more filling to get tastier parathas

But it drew relatively few mourners paying tribute to the former president who died while on trial for genocide and war crimes. Hundreds of die-hard Milosevic supporters--not the tens of thousands predicted--lined up to view his casket.

Free Tip Voucher
Each domestic premises in the City of Maitland that is paying the Domestic Waste Management Charge is entitled to one free tip voucher per year. Council sends the tip vouchers to the occupant of the premises every July. Residents are then able to use the voucher to dispose of domestic waste at the Mt Vincent Rd Waste Management Centre.
It is important for residents to check the back of the tip voucher for conditions of use as not all waste types and quantities are accepted. The following conditions apply for 2017/2018:
- This voucher can only be used for loads up to 400kg. Waste in excess of 400kg will be charged at the applicable disposal rates.
- This voucher can only be used by persons residing at the address shown overleaf (Photo ID is required).
- This voucher can only be used for domestic waste.
- This voucher cannot be used for commercial waste, soil, tyres, mattresses or mattress bases.
- This voucher is not transferable and not redeemable for cash.
- The original voucher must be presented (no copies).
- Only one voucher will be issued per household per financial year.
- Enclosed footwear must be worn while at the Waste Management Centre.
- Pets and children must remain in the vehicle while at the Waste Management Centre.
Residents are reminded that it makes a lot of sense to separate waste and recyclables particularly for those larger loads above 400kg that will attract a charge. As many recyclables such as paper, cardboard and bottles, metal items, white goods and car batteries are accepted free of charge, separating recyclables and unloading them in the appropriate areas at the Waste Management Centre can save a lot of money.
- Differential Pricing
On 1 January 2014, Maitland City Council changed the waste and recycling disposal fees and introduced differential pricing at its Mt Vincent Rd Waste Management Centre.
Differential pricing essentially means charging lower fees for recyclables and higher fees for mixed waste that cannot be recycled and must therefore be landfilled.
The purpose of differential pricing is to encourage recycling and to maximise the amount of waste diverted from the landfill.
The disposal of household recyclables such as paper, cardboard and bottles, metal items and car batteries are now free and the disposal of concrete and bricks is at a much lower cost than before.
All vehicles including domestic trailers and utilities are now weighed and disposal fees are charged on the actual weight of waste disposed off rather than applying a fixed fee based on the type of vehicle carrying the waste.
Residents can make significant savings if they separate their recyclables from waste and unload the different materials in the correct recycling areas at the Waste Management Centre.
Did you know that as of January 2008 you are now required to hold a NSW Workcover licence to remvoe 10m2 or more of bonded asbestos and any amount of friable asbestos. Further information can be found below in the NSW Workcover documents.
Asbestos: A Guide for Householders and the General Public
NSW Government Workcover Information
NSW Government Workcover Licencing
Normal landfill fees apply for the disposal of asbestoes as well as an additional charge for burial. All asbestos is to be wetted down and wrapped in heavy duty black plastic. The staff at the site are to be notified 24 hours in advance prior to delivery of asbestos contaminated material. At this time, directions will be given in relation to dumping of the contaminated load at this site.

Illegal Dumping
- Illegal dumping
The illegal dumping of waste poses a health and safety risk to all residents in the Maitland local government area. The dumping of waste in bushland, along roadsides and in river channels results in the environment becoming aesthetically unpleasing and has the potential to impact on the environment with chemicals able to leach into waterways, weeds able to escape into native bushland, and wildlife, birds and fish potentially becoming tangled in waste.
Should you observe someone dumping waste in an inappropriate location you are requested to "Dob In the Dumper" by contacting Council on 4934 9700 as soon as possible after the incident with details of the location, date and time you observed the incident, the type of waste dumped, and a description of the vehicle observed dumping the waste (with registration details if applicable). Any other details are also helpful.
Council wishes to advise that under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997 Council can issue on the spot fines for illegal dumping.

PALM SHORES, Fla. - A man in Palm Shores' artificial turf lawn has town officials in a fuss.
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports Steve Anderson is building five Key West-style homes in Palm Shores along the 130-mile Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway. He plans on using recycled turf from athletic fields on their lawns.
But not if the city can help it. They plan on banning synthetic grass as part of a new landscaping ordinance. Until then, they only require he build a wall between the property and outside viewers.
Anderson says the turf is more environmentally friendly because runoff from his plastic yard is pure rainwater and much easier on the river than a traditional, fertilized lawn with grass clippings and pesticides.

By Karen E. Thuermer, AJOT
China may be regarded as the factory to the world, but high tech companies still have reservations about the benefits other manufacturers find by locating there. Take Wavecom, for example, a company headquartered in Paris, France with subsidiaries in Hong Kong; San Diego, California; Darmstadt, Germany; Beijing, PRC; Tokyo, Japan, and Taipei, Taiwan.
In recent years the company has faced intense price competition and other changes in its business environment that have resulted in a dramatic downturn to revenues. Despite substantial earnings by serving, among others, Chinese and Korean manufacturers of mobile telephones, in 2003 market competition had intensified substantially, particularly in Asia. By September 2004, corporate executives decided to exit the mobile telephone handset business and center business exclusively on the market for wireless communications between machines, specifically automotive, industrial and mobile professional applications. The redirection called for corporate reorganization. More research and development (R&D) was needed in Asia. While Mainland China appeared to be a contender for a cost-effective expansion, Wavecom executives decided instead to increase the size of its Hong Kong operations.
'We made a comparison of Shanghai, Shenzhen and here,' says Didier Dutronc, Group Vice President, Head of Asia Pacific Region and Managing Director of Wavecom Asia Pacific Limited. 'We found that salaries were lower in Shanghai and Shenzhen, but when local taxes were added, we realized they could be higher.'
An added benefit: In Hong Kong, a city built by entrepreneurs, a company the size of Wavecom also does not get lost in the shuffle. In fact, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) lends a great deal of support to small and mid-sized enterprises. For example, the SAR has offered to build a lab at the Hong Kong Science Technology Park. The fact Hong Kong offers an innovative environment to scientists and engineers alike is attractive to Wavecom. 'The engineering population is stable in Hong Kong,' Mr. Dutronc remarks. 'In China, people move fast from one company to another. And they take their knowledge with them.'
This is of grave concern to Wavecom, since copying is a part of Chinese culture and the company was already copied in early 2004. The incident involved Wavecom's logo, which was associated only to a small portion of the company's business. 'But it was enough to raise alarms,' Mr. Dutronc says. 'Hong Kong laws protecting intellectual property are much stronger than those in Mainland China.'
Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has strengthened its legal framework and amended its IPR and related laws and regulations to comply with the WTO Agreement on Traded-Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). But despite stronger statutory protection, China continues to be a haven for counterfeiters and pirates. According to one copyright industry association, the piracy rate remains one of the highest in the world (over 90%). Though China is a party to international agreements to protect intellectual property (including WIPO, Bern Convention, Paris Convention, among others), a company must register its patents and trademarks with the appropriate Chinese agencies and authorities for those rights to be enforceable in China.
Without a doubt, intellectual property rights (IPR) are critical to Wavecom. The company's business relies on a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and proprietary information to maintain and enhance its competitive position. If the company were unable to prevent a competitor from using its designs and techniques to produce competing products, its business would be adversely affected.
This issue is even more critical today than ever before. Prior to the decision to expand R&D operations into Asia, Wavecom utilized its Hong Kong office for sales and marketing only. R&D activities were centered in San Diego and France. 'But we

Plays in Slovak had been performed as early as 1831 and had played an important role in the process of national revival. However, there were no professional Slovak actors in the early years of the dramatics group of the SND.
The beginnings of the Slovak ballet go back to the historic day of the first ballet premiere of Coppélia by C. Ph. L. Delibes on May 19, 1920. The choreography was by Vaclav Kalina, the first artistic director of the SND Ballet. In the season 1922 - 1923 this position was taken over by Czech dancer Marta Aubrechtová.
