Tragically overnight, the iconic yellow suspension bridge connecting Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Lembongan collapsed, killing nine people and injuring at least 30, officials say.
The narrow Jembatan Kuning (yellow bridge) was the only connection between Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Lembongan and was wide enough for motorcycles and pedestrians. Police officer Arendra Wahyudi said there were too many people passing over the bridge for a religious ceremony when it collapsed at 6.00pm local time Sunday.
Having travelled over this bridge many times, our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and friends of the victims and those injured.

Unseen Danger: A Tragedy of People, Government, and the Centralia Mine Fire
Award-winning journalist David DeKok tells, for the first time, how the Centralia mine fire really started in 1962. He shows how local, state and federal government officials failed to take effective action, allowing the fire to move underneath the small town of Centralia, Pennsylvania. By early 1981, the fire was sending deadly gases into homes, forcing the federal government to install gas alarms. A 12-year-old boy dropped into a steaming hole in the ground wrenched open by the fire's heat on Valentine's Day as the region's congressman toured nearby. DeKok tells how the people of Centralia banded together to demand help from the government, finally winning money to relocate much of the town.

Veggie Pot Pies with Crispy Potatoes
Easy vegan pot pies filled with heaps of veggies like carrots, mushrooms and greens. Crispy, golden-brown potato slices are a delicious alternative to a finicky pie crust. Baked to perfection and served bubbling hot. Vegan & Gluten Free.
- - -
I'm bundled up in my thickest socks and have no fewer than two blankets wrapped around me. The wind is howling outside and the rain is pelting our windows. It's been like this for a couple days now. By the time it's over, Vancouver will have had three storms rip through the city in a single week. And while nobody gave our cats a heads up, they can clearly sense it: both Taro and Forrest are on high alert, posted at the living room window with their tails wagging furiously.
It's safe to say, I'm staying in this weekend. And besides furiously reading this for bookclub on Sunday, I plan on spending most of my weekend doing rainy-day things. Stuff like watching movies with the fireplace on, baking and eating (of course). I'm not quite sure what I'll be whipping up baking wise, but I definitely know I'll be digging into one (or two) of these veggie pot pies.
Nothing says comfort food like a piping hot pot pie that's fresh out the oven. It's the perfect warm hug on a chilly day. The filling's like a hearty stew - and to top it off, you get a crispy, savory crust on the top. Up until recently, I wish I could say we had pot pie on the regular. But to be honest, the whole crust thing really threw me for a loop. Don't get me wrong: I love a good crust here and there. But a good roll-out pastry crust takes time - and not to mention it's typically loaded with gobs of butter and white flour. Not my kind of casual weeknight dinner.
To get the best of both worlds (pot pie + weeknight sanity), I've started making my pot pies sans crust. Before you start freaking out about losing a critical part...do know I've replaced itwith a "crust" of golden potatoes instead. I was inspired by the scalloped potatoes dish I made for our annual Friendsgiving recently. Because if there's one thing I would swap crust for, it would be layers of crispy potatoes. And as an added benefit, the potato "crust" doesn't get all soggy the next day. Cheers to cozy leftovers that keep on giving!
For the filling, I like to use a hearty combination of veggies: carrots, mushrooms, leeks, kale, potatoes and peas. Given that pot pie is usually "chicken pot pie", I wanted to include a plant-based protein that wouldn't distract from everything else going on. Chickpeas are the perfect addition. They not only add protein, but also a bit of extra texture. And they retain their shape and firmness after a trip to the oven. In short, chickpeas fit right in. I use canned chickpeas, but you could also cook your own from scratch. If using the canned kind, make sure you rinse them thoroughly before adding to the mixture.
It goes without saying that the filling can be tailored to your tastes. Don't have any leeks on hand? Add a bit more onion instead. Don't feel like kale? Try spinach, or skip the greens (nobody's looking). One substitution I wouldn't recommend is swapping out the fresh thyme. Thyme adds a ton of flavor to this dish. So while I know it can be annoying plucking off 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves...I promise it's worth it!
I've been making this recipe using 6 mini-ramekins, but it would probably also work with a single baking dish. The amount of potato slices required for the "crust" will vary slightly based on your cooking vessel. I like to ensure I have 1 pound of baby potatoes set aside when making this (aim for ones the size of large golf balls), but it never hurts to have a bit extra just in case. Leftovers can be refrigerated (covered) and re-heated until warm the following day.

This was as the girls claimed that they were not raped or abused during their stay in captivity, Thomson Reuters Foundation reports.
The foundation said the daily routine of the captured girls included personal time in the morning followed by Quranic teaching and cooking meals.
According to the report, the disclosure was contained in a confidential report based on the girls' two-week debriefing prepared for President Muhammadu Buhari.
The report said, "The girls said the Boko Haram men always assured them that they would eventually go back home to their families, and were careful about what they said around the girls and how they treated them.
"They had been fed well and regularly, until the military cut off Boko Haram supplies.
"The girls said that those of them who did not agree to marry were used as house girls (servants)."
Recall that the insurgent group recently released 21 of the over 200 girls abducted from Chibok, Borno State in 2014.
Just last week, the Army said it discovered another girl, Maryam Ali during its screening of some persons who escaped from Sambisa Forest, the stronghold of the insurgent group.

Using Naturalistic Data To Assess Teen Driver Crashes
In this study, we conducted a large-scale comprehensive examination of naturalistic data from crashes that involved teenage drivers. Other naturalistic studies have investigated only a small number of crashes or used near crashes as a proxy for actual crashes, and few crashes involving teen drivers have been observed in other naturalistic studies. In contrast, this project examined naturalistic data from thousands of actual crashes that involved teenage drivers. The data allowed us to examine behaviors and potential contributing factors in the seconds leading up to the collision, and provided information not available in police reports.

Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed believes that Sharjeel Khan will be missed during limited-over series against West Indies in the Caribbean, who is having a suspension from PCB following his involvement in spot-fixing during the Pakistan Super League.
"The West Indies tour holds immense importance for the team. Sharjeel's absence will make a difference but hopefully, the other openers will step up and not let us feel his absence," Sarfraz said.
The skipper of Pakistan limited-over side wants from his bowlers and senior players to put a good show on this upcoming tour. "The presence of senior players like Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik is very important for the team. We will leverage the capabilities of those players who are in form," he added.
The 29-year-old described Umar Akmal's exclusion from the team while saying that he has some fitness issue. "He has fitness issues, that's why he was not picked," Sarfraz quoted.
He concluded while saying former captain Azhar Ali is still the part of team's plan despite being axed from the squad.
Pakistan will travel the Caribbean island for a full series including four T20Is, three ODIs and three Tests from March 26 to May 14.

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0062701, filed on Jun. 26, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety as if fully set forth herein.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a vertical CMOS image sensor.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
In general, an image sensor is a semiconductor device which converts an optical image into an electrical signal. Image sensors are largely classified as a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) image sensor.
The CCD has a complicated drive system, has considerable power consumption, and requires a multi-step photo process. Moreover, it is disadvantageous in that a process of manufacturing the CCD is complicated. In particular, in the CCD, it is difficult to integrate a control circuit, a signal processing circuit, an analog/digital (A/D) converter, etc. on a CCD chip. Hence, it is difficult to reduce a size of the CCD.
Recently, a CMOS image sensor has been given attention as a next-generation image sensor that can overcome the disadvantages of the CCD.
The CMOS image sensor manufactured by a general CMOS process has advantages of low power consumption, a simple manufacturing process, low cost, and high integration.
The above-mentioned conventional CMOS image sensor is formed to have a stack structure including photodiodes and transistors. First, after a silicon epitaxial layer is formed, RGB color photodiodes are formed. Then, transistors are formed. Then, metal lines and via holes are formed. Then, after an upper metal layer is etched, a passivation oxide film and a passivation nitride film are formed by sequentially stacking the films. After the stack structure is completed, annealing is performed at a temperature of, generally, 400� C.
The conventional CMOS image sensor still has a problem of dark leakage characteristics. That is, the dark signal levels of the CMOS image sensor are still larger than those of a CCD manufactured by an optimal manufacturing process.
In general, example embodiments of the invention relate to a method for manufacturing a vertical CMOS image sensor having improved dark leakage characteristics through improved hydrogen annealing while preventing or reducing formation of circular defects in the image sensor.
Additional features will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the teachings herein. Features of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
According to one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a vertical CMOS image sensor comprises: forming at least one color photodiode on a silicon epitaxial layer; forming a transistor on the epitaxial layer having the color photodiode; forming at least one metal line on the transistor; forming a first passivation film after an uppermost metal layer is formed over the at least one metal line; performing a first annealing at a first high temperature after the first passivation film is formed; and forming a second, uppermost passivation film on the first passivation film.
The first passivation film may be a passivation oxide film and the first annealing may be performed at a temperature of 400 to 435� C.
The method may further include performing a second, final annealing at a second high temperature after the second, uppermost passivation film is formed. The second, final annealing may be performed at a temperature of 435 to 450� C.
The second, uppermost passivation film may be a passivation nitride film. In particular, the second, uppermost passivation film may be an SiON passivation film or an SiN passivation film.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential characteristics of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter. Moreover, it is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of example embodiments of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this application, illustrate the example embodiments and together with the description serve to explain particular features of the example embodiments. In the drawings:
In the following detailed description of the embodiments, reference will now be made in detail to specific embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Moreover, it is to be understood that the various embodiments of the invention, although different, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in one embodiment may be included within other embodiments. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
Hereinafter, a direct CMOS image sensor having a unit pixel size of 3.3 μm�3.3 μm and an operational voltage of 2.8 V is referenced as an example. It will be appreciated, however, that the principles described are applicable to other CMOS image sensors.
A CMOS image sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention has a vertical three-layer structure and may be manufactured using a 0.18 μm CMOS logic technology through a single poly-5 metal process. Red and green photodiodes may be formed in a silicon epitaxial layer through three epitaxy steps before a moat pattern is formed. A blue photodiode may also be formed after a gate etching process.
To improve dark leakage characteristics of the CMOS image sensor an annealing process may be performed at a specific temperature. The annealing may employ hydrogen annealing.
The annealing temperature may be increased from a general temperature of 400� C. to a temperature of between 435� C. and 450� C. The increase of the annealing temperature improves the dark leakage characteristics of the CMOS image sensor. However, various side effect phenomena may result from the increase of the annealing temperature.
The side effect phenomena relate to materials of a metal layer, an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer, and the like. For example, a circular defect, i.e. a crack in a dielectric material of the IMD layer, occurs as a side effect phenomena. The circular defect occurs due to a difference between thermal expansion coefficients of metal and dielectric materials of the IMD layer.
Accordingly, a high-temperature double annealing process and/or a passivation nitride film different from a conventional passivation nitride film may be employed to prevent or reduce circular defects that can occur as a side effect of an increased annealing temperature.
The double annealing process may include a first annealing (i.e., pre-annealing) and a second, final annealing. Pre-annealing may first be performed at a temperature of 400 to 435� C. After the pre-annealing is performed, nitride may be deposited on the passivation oxide film to form a passivation nitride film. Then, final annealing may be performed at a higher temperature, for example, at 435 to 450� C.
Generally, hydrogen annealing heals defects in the silicon layer, at edges of STI films, and in the IMD layer of the CMOS image sensor.
The healing effects of hydrogen annealing are illustrated in the graphs of
The sheet resistance of a lower metal layer is more radically changed than the sheet resistance of an upper metal layer by the increased temperature. The sheet resistance is more radically changed in the lower metal layer during the hydrogen annealing because a concentration or level of titanium aluminide is made higher in the lower metal layer than in the upper metal layer and because the lower metal layer undergoes greater expansion in volume in correspondence with higher annealing temperatures.
As a result, a circular defect that causes a crack may be more easily formed in the dielectric material of the IMD layer touching the lower metal layer. The circular defect influences reliability of the IMD layer and the metal layer.
In particular, the circular defect is more easily generated due to a difference that generally exists between the thermal expansion coefficients of the lower metal layer and the dielectric materials of the IMD layer. During the hydrogen annealing, the metal material in the lower metal layer expands more than the dielectric material in the IMD layer. Accordingly, the dielectric material disposed in a corner of the metal material undergoes tensile residual stress. Further, the corner of the metal material begins to crack, and the crack can propagate during a cooling period.
The first three entries in the tables correspond to a single "final" annealing being performed after formation of an entire stack structure, including deposition of an uppermost silicon nitride (SiN) passivation film. Under those annealing conditions, the number of defects increases as the hydrogen annealing temperature increases, as shown in
In order to prevent or reduce the defects generated due to the increase of the temperature, a double annealing process may be performed. In the double annealing process, a first annealing process may be performed before the passivation nitride film is deposited, and a second annealing process may be performed after deposition of nitride in the passivation oxide film is completed. The first annealing process effectively relieves stress of the dielectric materials in the IMD layer. Accordingly, a circular defect is less likely to be generated during or after the second annealing process.
Furthermore, an alternative passivation nitride film, such as silicon oxynitride (SiON), may be used in addition to or instead of the double annealing process. Generally, SiON has a lower thermal expansion coefficient than SiN due to strong covalent bonding between silicon and nitride. Accordingly, SiN is easily cracked by repeated thermal treatment, and thus SiN is more easily broken by an annealing process than SiON. The cracking defects, which are also circular defects, are caused by mismatching temperatures of the metal material and the passivation nitride film. The oxygen included in SiON, on the other hand, serves to relieve expansion stress.
In the double annealing process, more titanium aluminide is formed in the lower metal layer since the sheet resistance of the metal layer is higher than that of a metal layer annealed by a single-step annealing process. However, the circular defect is not generated in the double annealing process because the first annealing process, which is performed before the passivation nitride film is deposited, serves to relieve the stress.
As shown in the graphs of
Moreover, although an SiON passivation film prevents or reduces an incidence of circular defects, it is less effective than SiN because its refractive index differs. The refractive index (1.69) of SiON is lower than the refractive index (2.1) of SiN. Accordingly, SiON has a larger depth of light transmission than SiN and a focus is not formed on the silicon layer when SiON is used.
Therefore, use of the SiON passivation film to remove the circular defect is optional, taking both visual gain and necessity for the vertical CMOS image sensor into consideration. Thus, either SiON or SiN may selectively be used as the passivation oxide film formed at the uppermost portion.
Consequently, hydrogen annealing at an increased temperature is performed to improve the dark leakage characteristics after final deposition of an uppermost passivation film. Moreover, to reduce or avoid circular defects that negatively impact device reliability, a double annealing process and/or a SiON passivation nitride film may be selectively employed to counteract against circular defects.
The CMOS image sensor includes photodiodes and transistors. First, after a silicon epitaxial layer 1 (e.g., a three-layer structure) is formed, RGB color photodiodes 2 may be formed on the silicon epitaxial layer 1. Then, transistors may be formed by sequentially forming sources/drains 3, shallow trench isolation (STI) films 4 and gates 5.
An IMD layer 6 may be deposited thereon after the transistors are formed, and via holes 7 may be formed in the IMD layer 6. The via holes 7 electrically connect between metal lines to be formed, and electrically connect between the metal lines and the transistors. Then, metal lines 8 and 9 may be formed thereon and an uppermost metal layer 10 may be formed.
After an etching process for forming the uppermost metal layer 10, oxide may be deposited to form a passivation oxide film 11. After the passivation oxide film 11 is formed, pre-annealing, which is a first step of the double annealing process, may be performed. The annealing temperature for the pre-annealing step may be maintained at 400 to 435� C.
After the pre-annealing is performed, nitride may be deposited on the passivation oxide film 11 to form a passivation nitride film 12. After the passivation nitride film 12 is formed, final annealing, which is a second step of the double annealing process, may be performed. The annealing temperature for the final annealing step may be maintained higher than the temperature of the pre-annealing step, for example, at 435 to 450� C.
While the dark leakage characteristics may be improved by increasing the annealing temperature, a high-temperature double annealing process and/or an additional passivation nitride film, such as SiON, may be selectively applied to also remove circular defects, thereby enhancing the quality and reliability of the vertical CMOS image sensor.
In fact, the high temperature double annealing process alone, i.e., without use of a SiON passivation nitride film, improves dark leakage characteristics while preventing or reducing circular defects.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Monopoly power can be disadvantageous in the extraction of a durable nonrenewable resource
We study a Markov equilibrium for the case where a monopolist extracts a nonrenewable resource which is converted to a durable good, which then depreciates at a constant rate. We show that in a stationary, continuous time model (infinite horizon, infinitesimal period of commitment) monopoly power can be disadvantageous. Numerical experiments c o n f i that this can also occur in a finite horizon, discrete model. This result is compared to previous examples of disadvantageous market power, obtained using two-period models.

Picture: Richard Barone signs copies of his new book 'Frontman: Surviving the Rock Star Myth' at Barnes & Noble New York City, USA - 01.10.07
Members of the US actors' union based in New York have urged organisation leaders to begin contract negotiations with film and TV studios.
Doug Allen, the national executive director of the Screen Actors' Guild (SAG), has said the union plans to begin talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in the spring.
The SAG has worried the AMPTP by refusing to name a date for the commencement of discussions, with studios desperate to avoid more industrial action in the wake of the conclusion of the three-month writers' strike.
But members of the SAG New York board passed a resolution on Thursday calling on guild heads to commence negotiations by the end of March, months before the mutual agreement with the AMPTP expires on June 30th.
"I see absolutely no value to the members in delaying these talks any longer," Sam Freed, the guild's New York president, was quoted by Variety as saying.
"We are dealing with serious issues. We should already be at the bargaining table."
The resolution called on SAG leaders to acknowledge the success of early negotiations in recent contract talks in the industry, with the Directors' Guild of America's (DGA) impromptu talks with the AMPTP helping to push the striking Hollywood writers into action.
It also claims the guild leaders are "wasting valuable time and guild resources fighting with our bargaining partner and unnecessarily delaying the start of negotiations", making reference to a joint bargaining agreement set to be signed with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) before discussions with the AMPTP begin.
30 Rock Star Alec Baldwin, a SAG New York member, added: "SAG should pursue a course similar to the DGA, where early negotiations short-circuit the need for a strike."
In a responsive email to SAG members, guild president Alan Rosenberg and Allen reiterated that it did not plan to begin talks until after March 31st at the earliest.
Hollywood stars including George Clooney, Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks placed an advert in Variety earlier this month urging the SAG to begin negotiations with studios as soon as possible.

The insensitivity went to the extent of comparing them with the American soldiers. "India is a land of mourners", he said and adding to the sarcasm, added,"After every soldier dies in the war front, families demand compensation from the government. Why so? Afterall, it is the duty of the soldiers to lay down their lives in the war front. Have you ever seen American families mourning for their martyrs on television and asking for compensations?"
The sarcasm went to the extent of dishonour when he said "Servicemen have a contract for 12 years and after that they are being given a pension and various other allowances. This is against their pledge to laid down their lives in the war front."
Till now no action has been taken against the DM for his sharp jibes at he martyrs.

Golem Trailer (1980)
The film is set in a terrorizing world of the future, where technology commands the movements of individuals, supervised by the doctors, carrying out a program to improve the human race. Thus, instead of doctors creating a monster, the monsters are already there as the species of the future - but one of them is suspected by the doctors of being a human being. That is Golem in reverse.

This Camerupt is a fire/ground-type Pokémon owned by Maxie. It was later obtained by Blaise.
Maxie sent Camerupt out in his headquarters to breathe fire, to create more land, which was Maxie's goal.[1] While walking from the Hoenn TV station towards his car, Archie sensed Maxie was nearby and sent Walrein to the battle. Maxie sent his Camerupt, who started attacking Walrein. Walrein tried to freeze Camerupt with its tusks, but Maxie reminded him Camerupt's Magma Armor prevented it from becoming frozen. Instead, Camerupt launched Eruption, which Walrein survived, since its Thick Fat ability reduced the damage from such attacks. Since Maxie proposed Archie to work together to go to Seafloor Cavern, Archie accepted the request and both leaders called their Pokémon back and ended the battle.[2]
Maxie and Archie joined together to battle Ruby and Sapphire. Maxie sent Camerupt and Archie his Walrein, the latter getting hit by Ruby's Swampert, Mumu, and Sapphire's Blaziken, Chic. Just as Mumu attacked with Muddy Water, Camerupt launched Eruption and Walrein used Sheer Cold, which hit Sapphire and Ruby's Pokémon. Fortunately, Ruby's Castform defeated Maxie and Archie with Hail and Weather Ball.[3]
Walrein and Camerupt were sent to battle Ruby's Mumu and Sapphire's Chic. Chic used Sky Uppercut and Swampert fired Muddy Water, which defeated Camerupt and Walrein. However, Maxie sent more Houndoom and Archie sent more Walrein to battle Ruby and Sapphire, while the bosses tried to make their escape in their aircar.[4]
Just as Maxie and Archie came to Hoenn with the Red and Blue Orbs they stole, Red and Green pursued them. Red and Green sent Venusaur, Saur, and Blastoise, Blasty, against Maxie's Camerupt and Archie's Sharpedo. Archie and Maxie Mega Evolved their Pokémon, but so did Red and Green.[5] In the hard battle, Blasty and Saur managed to defeat Mega Camerupt and Mega Sharpedo. However, Maxie had Primal Groudon encase Red and Green under some rocks, preventing them from interfering the bosses' mission.[6]
Since their original trainers died, Amber took Archie's Sharpedo and Blaise took Maxie's Camerupt. In addition, both of them took their bosses' Key Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve Camerupt and Sharpedo.[7] Both Blaise and Amber used these Pokémon to launch an attack to shatter the meteorite that threatened to collide with the planet.[8]

We feel cheated by MSSA: Navy Boys
Navy Children (Colaba) cried foul after being denied an equaliser against Don Bosco (Matunga) in the final of the U-12 Mumbai School Sports Association inter-school football tournament at Azad Maidan yesterday.
Fr Jude Rodrigues
Clivert Miller scored for the Matunga side in the fifth minute after which Navy Children were awarded a penalty and scored. However, the referee asked them to re-take the penalty claiming that a Navy player had entered the penalty area before the spot-kick was taken.
Navy re-took the shot and this time failed to score. Angered by this, their coach Sheldo ordered the boys to leave the field with 10 minutes of play still to go and lodged a protest with the MSSA. Meanwhile, the referee awarded the match to Don Bosco.
Navy Children's chief coach Cdr S Gangopadhyay was livid. "In the name of MSSA, some people are running their own personal agenda. MSSA is not making careers but ruining them. MSSA is openly cheating by changing decisions like this. Our player scored the equaliser but it was denied.
When our coach protested, we were told that there are no senior MSSA officials available to take a decision. We have the photographic evidence that we are not wrong. MSSA is asking us to give a written apology as we walked out of the ground. They should be ashamed to ask us to do so because they are cheaters not us."
Don Bosco coach Leslie Machado also felt that "MSSA football secretary Faria, should have taken a decision." When MiD DAY contacted MSSA football secretary Xavier Faria, he refused to divulge details of the incident, while MSSA president Fr Jude Rodrigues was unavailable for comment.

I have made it because I could not find my city from the list of all cities.
Do not worry, I do not live in 2 worlds different parts! :)
I have finished high school and have not acted in university because i do not have enough money.
I learnt English and German language at school. Here are excellent teachers. In English I talk much better than in German. Still I know the French language very little! Parle le france :)?
I never have travel anywhere, but I very much would want to look the world. I know perfectly only my city Zelenodolsk.
What that time I worked as the distributor of cosmetics for women ORIFLAME, but have soon stopped it to be engaged, because at me the small income was. Now I
work as the waiter in small cafe. There I work 3 years. I communicate on work with set of people. I am very sociable also to me it is pleasant to get acquainted with new people. You have very strongly interested as anybody another very much for me. Certainly I would work on more perspective work, but in my
city it is difficult find such work.
I dream to arrive to university and receive higher education. But in Russia is road and full of obstacles. I dreamt to be the lawyer, but I cannot allow expensive training on this speciality...
Now I live one in a small apartment of parents. My parents live separately from each other. So appeared, that when I was absolutely small they have divorced. It was the need as their incorporated life was accompanied constant scandals.
Usually I do not like, when it recollects, but I want tell it for you. Later in each of them have appeared new families, but I could not live in one of them.
Therefore to relatives for me the person became the grandmother - mum of the father. The grandmother from my childhood studied to be fair with people and not
repeat a mistake of mine parents. But later in 2003 I have lost the closest person for me. My grandmother has died from illness of heart.
In the family I grew one, at me was not present brothers and sisters. Name of my mother Marina and daddy name is Alexey :)
I have never been marriage. I had never have children. I very strongly love children!!!! I adore them!!! I would like to get children with my beloved.
Tell to me about the relatives please. My working day from 8:00 till 17:00. And how many time your working day lasts? I hope to you, it was interesting to learn more about me.

When we finish berlin, should we have a "berlin" section for all apps built upon berlin libraries? no! the berlin text editor will go in editors, the berlin desktop managers will go in desktop, etc.. They will just depend on the berlin display server (which will be in graphics) and the berlin communication libraries (which will go in network or libs). Personally I think that debian needs to start sub-categorizing. One of the most confusing things for newbies with debian is that there is such a huge number of packages that are really not grouped in any meaningful way (ie by affiliation not functionality). So maybe debian should begin looking into a way of doing two types of organization at once: affiliation and funcitonality. Sorting could be swapped between the two. For example, the way it is now: [hypothetical if the x11 section is fixed, if berlin eventually gets released just for demonstrational purposes] desktop proprietary window managers (wmaker, afterstep, etc) KDE Gnome, Gnome-Panel Berlin desktop managers editors TK editors GTK/GNOME editors Qt/KDE editors Berlin editors All of those packages under desktop/ are intermixed, in no particular order. Same with editors. Now, say if each of the subcategories presented (which are not as of now existent, only their packages) came into existence, then you could swap how the package list is presented: KDE desktop editors GNOME desktop editors Berlin desktop editors IMO this would alleviate a lot of confusion among newbies but still put things where the experts want it. I don't know if something like this has been previously (or if being simultaneously) discussed somewhere else. Someone redirect me? Aaron Van couwenberghe --note: I felt that this particular line of thought, if pursued, should go to debian-private. so it showed up there too. please respond to me and debian-private on this one.

STILL FIND Dr. RIVARD THE BEST PSYCHIATRIST EVER EVEN THOUGH HE IS GONE.
Posted on April 9th, 2016
Even though Dr. Rivard is no longer with us and it was a major tragedy that did happen to end his life, and that of his wife and 7 year old daughter, as a Psychiatrist, he was still the very best Psychiatrist I have ever been to (I am now 56 and have seen Psychiatrists since I was 12). He ALWAYS kept strict boundaries which, in my case, was crucial, and never, EVER slipped on those boundaries one time. VERY professional in every single way. I always felt more and more safe every time I went there knowing there would be "no surprises" or anything to trigger or scare me (I am diagnosed PTSD, Major Depression and Anxiety Disorder, along with some major physical disorders). Even now, in 2016, I still have not processed at all the tragedy of what his family went through. Even the day I was told about it by my then-Psychologist. I heard the words, but just went dull in the head. To me, it's like he's still here, but I'm just not seeing him anymore. I don't understand why I haven't processed this major thing after so many years with a doctor that truly trusted and admired for keeping such strict boundaries. Anyways, he was the best Psychiatrist I ever had. Just had to come back and say that and give this update.
John Rivard, M.D. Psychiatrist
Posted on December 27th, 2014
Although Dr. Rivard ended up shooting his wife, child then himself, I liked him a lot. He knew how to keep boundaries. I still have not processed or envisioned what he has done with regard to his actually shooting his wife and child and then himself. It's as if it did not happen and I just switched doctors. I am completely numb on the subject even though it happened awhile back - don't even remember when. He was a great Psychiatrist that DID keep boundaries and was very professional and never talked about himself or anything personal unlike my previous Psychologist who had sexually exploited me after misdiagnosing me and his pal he shared an office with, the Psychiatrist gave me such a heavy amount of drugs and so many, I became numbly submissive to this Psychologist for 6 months. He was accused by Medical Board and DOJ when I filed complaint and also filed lawsuit - BIG. Current Diagnoses: PTSD, Major Depression, Anxiety (and then there are many physical diagnoses - almost all are stress-related, i.e., Hiatal Hernia, G.E.R.D., Colitis that don't go away among degenerative bone disease and many other issues.
