About Us
We have a passion to see the United Kingdom return to the Christian faith. Our nation has been shaped and defined by this faith for hundreds of years. Yet in the last few decades, the nation has largely turned her back on Jesus and embraced alternative ideas such as secular liberal humanism, moral relativism and sexual licence. The fruit of this can be seen in widespread family breakdown, immorality and social disintegration.
Yet we believe that this nation has a hope, and that hope can be found in Jesus Christ. On this basis we seek to awaken the Church. We need to be passionate about our faith and become a light and a witness to the nation.
Whilst engaging with the Church, we want to work to infuse a biblical worldview into every aspect of society. We want to be a strong Christian voice in the public sphere, arguing passionately for the truth of the gospel and defending the historic freedoms that we have enjoyed in this nation for so long. We believe that by doing so, society as a whole will benefit. We seek to highlight injustice, change public opinion on issues of key importance and affect policy at the highest levels.
We engage on a broad large range of issues, including abortion, adoption and fostering, bioethics, marriage, education, employment, end of life, equality, family, free speech, Islamism, religious freedom, the sex trade, social issues and issues relating to sexual orientation.
Current campaigns
Awake Arise
We have now launched the 'Awake Arise' campaign to encourage and equip the Church to engage with issues of vital concern to the nation. We regularly hold Awake Arise events in churches across the nation with top speakers. Some of these events are focused on specific issues such as Islam or marriage and the family. (www.awakearise.org.uk)
Wilberforce Academy
We run an annual academy for young people called the 'Wilberforce Academy', named after famous reformer William Wilberforce. The Academy is a week-long, residential course in Oxford University featuring top speakers who train and equip the invited students on what it means to proclaim Christ in public life.
It is our desire to raise up the next generation of Christian leaders who will take a bold stand for Christ within their spheres of influence, whether in the church or in the marketplace. We pray that just as God blessed Wilberforce and his fellow reformers so also God will mightily use those we are committed to training.
These weeks have proven highly popular and we believe that the Academy students have the potential to impact the nation. We are now developing a Wilberforce network to encourage these graduates to build relationships and connect for the future. (wilberforceacademy.org.uk)
Not Ashamed campaign
We launched the 'Not Ashamed' campaign in 2010, a major initiative designed to encourage Christians to take a public stand for Jesus. On 1 December 2010, Christians across the nation wore merchandise with the 'Not Ashamed' logo and cross as a sign that they were not ashamed to say that Jesus Christ is good news for society. Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, backed the campaign, producing a short leaflet which was distributed to thousands of people at Christmas proclaiming the good news of the gospel.
Widespread print, radio and TV coverage resulted, along with many opportunities for Christians to share their faith with colleagues and friends. The Sun newspaper featured a groundbreaking double-page evangelistic message to the nation from Lord Carey. (www.notashamed.org.uk)
Policy Team
Our policy team sits at the heart of our organisation. We produce research materials which are used to inform debate at the highest levels and we draft legal amendments which are used in Parliament.
We give regular, detailed responses to government consultations on a range of issues. We have recently responded to consultations on:
i) The introduction of a new IVF technnique that will result in the creation of children with three parents.
ii) The extension of civil partnerships to heterosexual couples.
iii) The extension of existing hate crime offences to cover disability, sexual orientation and transgender identity.
iv) New draft guidelines for the police to enable them to use their powers of arrest under section 5 of the 1986 Public Order Act more appropriately.
We are now starting to spearhead Christian policy work across Europe. We have established relationships in Belgium, France, Italy, Romania and Bulgaria as well as internationally in America, Nigeria, Jamaica, Canada and Australia. We are committed to lending our know-how generously to serve Christians across the globe and helping them stay ahead of developments in their own nations.
The Christian Legal Centre
The Christian Legal Centre is a sister organisation of Christian Concern.
We defend a wide variety of individuals and churches who have suffered discrimination and challenges because of their desire to live and work according to biblical beliefs. Many of these cases have been high-profile and have been at the cutting edge of the law relating to freedom of belief. We handle more religious discrimination cases than any other organisation in the UK.
We are currently representing (amongst many others):
i) Christian nursery nurse, Sarah Tshikuna-Mbuyi, who was dismissed for gross misconduct from her job in a London children's nursery after saying that marriage is between one man and one woman.
ii) Christian couple, Jeff and Sue Green, who have been accused of discriminating against same-sex couples by operating a 'married couples only' policy for their double rooms at their guesthouse in Wales.
iii) Christian occupational therapist, Victoria Wasteney, who was disciplined for praying for a Muslim colleague, despite being encouraged by the colleague to talk about her faith.
Two of our client's cases were also taken to the European Court of Human Rights:
i) Gary McFarlane, a relationships counsellor who was dismissed from his job because he said during a staff training day that he was not sure whether he was comfortable with giving sex advice to homosexual couples; and
ii) Shirley Chaplin, a nurse who was banned from working on hospital wards for wanting to continue to wear a cross around her neck, a cross which she had worn as a front-line nurse for almost 30 years.
These cases have received high-profile media coverage and have been featured on the front pages.
News Service
We have a growing mailing list of over 43,000 individuals and churches who we keep regularly informed of a wide selection of news and policy developments. This supporter base often joins us on our campaigns and supports our work through letter writing, lobbying their MP's, joining demonstrations, responding to consultations and praying and giving support in a wide variety of ways.

User Reviews item created by mickiem, Sep 23, 2017
Pros - Great contact, quality animals, very friendly
Mickie is a very knowledgable breeder who is generous answering questions. Constant communication and packed so well it got these millipedes through an unexpected 24 hours in transit during a winter storm delay. They care about these animals, which arrived healthy and active. Will definitely be checking out her for-sale list again!
Pros - Excellent communication and packing. Beautiful and healthy specimens!
Cons - Not a single one!
I ordered 2 AGBs, which arrived healthy and active thanks to the excellent packing skills of the seller. Communication was great through the whole process. The seller worked hard to make sure there would be no shipping problems. I live in the middle of nowhere and the mail service can be trying. Also, the seller snuck in a male C. spinigerus with the order because I had mentioned recently losing my only male. She was very thoughtful, and patient with all of my newbie questions. I would and will buy from this seller again and again!
Pros - Perfectly healthy and cared for, wonderfully packaged.
Cons - None at all!
I purchased a year-old AGB from mickiem and had it shipped from Ohio to Texas overnight. Mickiem was quick to respond, and made sure the process went smoothly and that I had all of my questions answered. The post office had a slight delay on their end, but the excellent care and packaging on mickiem's part kept the millipede safe and sound.
I had several questions, and they answered each of them quickly and with great detail. An easy process, every step of the way!
They truly care for their creatures and are an excellent resource for both knowledge and millipedes.
Pros - Great prices, communication, packaging and prompt shipping. Most of all very beautiful and healthy 'pedes!
Cons - none
This was my first transaction with anyone on Arachnoboards and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Mickiem was fantastic at communicating quickly and took the time to answer any questions I had, and also monitored the shipping process very closely. I even received a freebie Thai Rainbow! Despite a scary winter storm coming in I received the millipedes and isopods safely and they are all healthy and doing well. Overall I couldn't be more pleased and will definitely be back for more in the future =)
Pros - Excellent communication and packaging, animals' well-being paramount
Cons - None!
Excellent communication and very knowledgeable! Fantastic care taken of millipedes from breeding and housing through the shipping process and making sure they'll continue to thrive upon arrival! Thank you for the beautiful healthy millipedes!
Pros - Very prompt, pleasant, effective communication
Cons - NONE
Mickiem purchased several isopods from me. She was a pleasure to work with, we were able to arrange all shipping details without any problems. Communication was excellent, payment was very prompt. I would highly recommend this 'Arachnoboarder' to anyone!
Awesome animals, great packing, and a smooth transaction - what more could you ask for? Mickie cares about her millipedes and it shows in the quality of her babies!
Pros - Mickiem was excellent to work with. If you're afraid of getting scammed, Mickiem is the best person to work with for the first time because she keeps you updated with excellent communication. The packing job was the best I've seen so far and I'm ready to buy everything else on her list when I can! Not only does she care about making everything go well, but she cares about how they do after they've already arrived! She's given her time, advice, and more to help me with my new additions.
Cons - Absolutely none.
Since every transaction I've had with Mickiem has been a positive so far, I can't begin to say what her work has done for this community. If you need help with your millipedes, she is always more than happy to be there for you and welcomes everyone to this niche hobby. With that, the same care and experience goes into her packing, communication, and care instructions. Even when I was asking 100s of questions she was still there to answer them, I was annoying myself probably more than her! If you're fearful of being scammed she is definitely the person you want to do business with first as she'll make you confident in the integrity of the entire transaction. Not to mention, she still answers my questions and helps out with the millipedes even after I purchased! She cares much more about giving the millipedes a great home and life over how much she makes on the sale. I will DEFINITELY be buying again. Thank you!
Pros - well packaged
purchased some millipedes from mickiem shipped them right away, everything was packaged awesome. will be doing business again.

Hello Crafty Friends!
It's Inspiration time over at STAMPlorations. I thought I'd do something a little different for my DT piece today ... a card without stamping! Now there was a challenge for me ....
For now I shall leave this as a little teaser given that I used a new product which Shery is going to introduce either later today or tomorrow.
All I can say for now is that I added some black spritzing, doodling, die-cut Hugs (CUTplorations Word Die: Hugs) and sequins.
If you want to find out how the rest was made and get a glimpse of other projects I made using the same mystery product, check back at 8pm BST (12 noon PDT) once the post here goes live.
For more card inspiration, pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog. This is also where you can leave a comment for your entry to win a $10 gift certificate.
That's it from me for now. Have a lovely day!

If you've been following the blog, you will have come here from the link in Anita Stokes' blog and my post is the 4th in the hop today.
All of today's posts are designed around a theme given to us by Scrapbooking Memories, and it is up to you to guess what that theme is! Once you think you know head over to the Scrapbooking Memories blog and have a guess in the comments section there.
It's important to visit all the blogs in the hop today to gather all the clues you will need to guess. The blog hop stated earlier today on Leonie Neal-Dawson's blog, so if you've come straight here, make sure you go back to the start to get all of the clues. Good luck everyone!
My layout that I'm sharing today is this one of my great niece Amber-Rose, who is normally more than happy to pose for my camera, but on this particular day she had a few moments of unusual shyness.
For the background I used a sheet of Echo Park Ombre paper which I chopped and switched around and attached to white cardstock. Using texture paste and a small Prima mask, I added the random patterned texture in the background.
The matting for the photos are some various Amy Tangerine patterned papers and the cute little yellow frame is from a pack of 12 Dear Lizzy frames. Washi tape, self-adhesive lace, flowers and a ticket were added for some extra interest.
The chipboard flowers from Words Or Whatever have been coated with a layer of white gesso using a coarse brush for texture, and then coloured with Stampin' Up ink in Yoyo Yellow and then finished off with some knotted sewing cotton.

The Stages of
Alzheimer's Disease
Return to ElderCare Online Homepage
Return to Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Channel
Return to ALZwell Alzheimer's Disease Support Website
At the New York
University Medical Center's Aging and Dementia Research Center, Barry Reisberg, MD and
colleagues have developed the Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) scale, which allows
professionals and caregivers to chart the decline of people with Alzheimer's disease. The
FAST scale has 16 stages and sub-stages:
FAST Scale Stage
1... normal adult
No functional
2... normal older
Personal awareness
of some functional decline.
3... early
Alzheimer's disease
Noticeable deficits
in demanding job situations.
4... mild
Requires assistance
in complicated tasks such as handling finances, planning parties, etc.
5... moderate
Requires assistance
in choosing proper attire.
6... moderately
severe Alzheimer's
Requires assistance
dressing, bathing, and toileting. Experiences urinary and fecal incontinence.
7... severe
Speech ability
declines to about a half-dozen intelligible words. Progressive loss of abilities to walk,
sit up, smile, and hold head up.
Stage 1 No cognitive decline. No subjective
complaints of memory deficit. No memory deficit evident on clinical interviews.
Stage 2 (Forgetfulness) Very mild cognitive decline.
Subjective complaints of memory deficit, most frequently in the
following area:
No objective evidence of memory deficit on clinical interview. No
objective deficits in employment or social situations. Appropriate concern regarding
Stage 3 (Early Confusional) Mild cognitive decline. Earliest
clear-cut deficits.
Manifestations in more than one of the following areas:
Objective evidence of memory deficit obtained only with an intensive
interview. Denial begins to become manifest in patient. Mild to moderate anxiety
accompanies symptoms.
Stage 4 (Late Confusional) Moderate cognitive decline.
Clear-cut deficit on careful clinical interview.
Deficit manifest in following areas:
Frequently no deficit in the following areas:
Inability to perform complex tasks. Denial is dominant defense
mechanism. Flattening of affect and withdrawal from challenging situations occur.
Stage 5 (Early Dementia) Moderately severe cognitive decline.
Patient can no longer survive without some assistance. Patient is
unable during interview to recall a major relevant aspect of their current lives, e.g., an
address or telephone number of many years, the names of close family members (such as
grandchildren), the name of the high school or college from which they graduated.
Frequently some disorientation to time (date, day of week, season, etc.) or to place. An
educated person may have difficulty counting back from 40 by 4s or from 20 by 2s. Persons
at this stage retain knowledge of many major facts regarding themselves and others. They
invariably know their own names and generally know their spouse's and children's names.
They require no assistance with toileting and eating, but may have some difficulty
choosing the proper clothing to wear.
Stage 6 (Middle Dementia) Severe cognitive decline. May
occasionally forget the name of the spouse upon whom they are entirely dependent for
survival. Will be largely unaware of all recent events and experiences in their lives.
Retain some knowledge of their past lives but this is very sketchy. Generally unaware of
their surroundings, the year, the season, etc. May have difficulty counting from 10, both
backward and sometimes forward. Will require some assistance with activities of daily
living, e.g., may become incontinent, will require travel assistance but occasionally will
display ability to familiar locations. Diurnal rhythm frequently disturbed. Almost always
recall their own name. Frequently continue to be able to distinguish familiar from
unfamiliar persons in their environment.
Personality and emotional changes occur. These are quite variable
and include:
Stage 7 (Late Dementia) Very severe cognitive decline. All
verbal abilities are lost.
Frequently there is no speech at all - only grunting. Incontinent of
urine, requires assistance toileting and feeding. Lose basic psychomotor skills, e.g.,
ability to walk, sitting and head control. The brain appears to no longer be able to tell
the body what to do. Generalized and cortical neurologic signs and symptoms are frequently
Alzheimer's Disease
and Skill Abilities
Dr Reisberg has also shown that the decline
typical of Alzheimer's disease is the flip side of normal skill acquisition by infants,
children, and young adults:
Age of
acquisition during normal development
Alzheimer's stage
at which ability is lost
Hold a job. Function
independently in the world.
12 years and older
Handle simple
8-12 years
Select proper
5-7 years

Google is restructuring. They will be giving themselves a parent company, called "Alphabet," and there's a ton of buzz about it right now in the business and financial worlds. As CEO Larry Page said, Google is doing great right now, but they can do even better. Alphabet allows Google to keep doing what they do, but also incorporates other companies, many of which are focused on health technologies. Calico and Life Sciences are the two biggest examples here. Perhaps the biggest move within the overall design is that Page will be taking a bigger role in overseeing, and a new CEO will come in for Google. Page has recommended that this person be Sundar Pichai. He's already done a lot to work with Google, and management sees this as a natural progression.
Alphabet is a big stretch for Google and a big risk. However, Google hasn't ever really been a conventional company. They do a lot of things people don't see besides their web-based activities, and there is a ton of potential for profits here. Some of these have been in the news recently, such as the driverless cars that have been being developed. Alphabet seems like an attempt to differentiate these products in order to help the different branches focus just on what they are doing and providing better services there. These are all things that Google has been doing for years already, now the efforts are being delegated in a more official capacity with clearly different corporate frameworks.
It will be interesting to see the market's immediate reaction to this announcement, but it seems like it will definitely be a positive one. If Google keeps posting the numbers that they have been, there's no doubt that Alphabet will be a winning move by them. It might take a year or so to get there, but it will pay off. Short term traders need to do their own analysis before proceeding, and the moves that they make will depend upon the timeframes that they are looking at. Binary options traders especially need to be cautious here because they will be locked into the timeframes and expiration dates that they choose. Still, if the general momentum from this move is upward–and it should be–it stands to reason that short term trades should mirror this. The only question is when to begin. For the answer to this, you need to monitor the markets and trader sentiment.
The fact is though, transitions can be a difficult thing for investors to embrace, and the result of this is often less money going into a company. For Google, the coffers are certainly big enough that this will not have a big impact upon them, but it could drive their stock price down for a while. It's far too early to tell how this will play out, but there's no doubt that opportunity will come of it. Even if prices drop right away, there's now a chance for buying a strong stock at a lower than realistic price. If it stays down for a while, binary put options could be helpful for squeaking small profits until the company finds its groove in stock pricing again. This is a change for sure, but it's also a big money making opportunity if you pay attention to what is going on.
Do note that Google's stock will be changing. Those that currently own Google will now be shareholders of Alphabet. The stock ownership isn't changing, just the name of the company in which shareholders own. It sounds far more complicated than it actually is. Google, which currently trades on the NASDAQ as GOOG and GOOGL, will keep those call letters the same.

Teen gets hole-in-one
Stephen Fredenberg, 13, of Tega Cay has been playing golf for a little more than a year. On Aug. 24, he scored something most golfers never see in their lifetime: a hole-in-one.
"When I teed off, I knew I hit the green," Stephen said. "I just had no idea it had gone into the hole. We searched the whole green for my ball before I thought to look inside the cup."
Fredenberg, an eighth-grader at Gold Hill Middle School, was enjoying a round of golf with his dad, Robert, at Regent Park Golf Club in Fort Mill, a course he had never played. He made the 147-yard shot at the 13th hole, using his six iron.
"It was just unbelievable to me," Stephen said. "I was so excited I called my mom (Tracey) and then called my grandfather as well. Both were ecstatic for me. My grandfather told me I made his day."
Fredenberg's grandfather, Jerry McDonald of Hilton Head, was an avid golfer until he had to give it up three years ago because of declining health. He, too, made a hole-in-one in his golfing history, but not until he was 68.
Fredenberg's hole-in-one was an amazing gift to his grandfather, who is now in Hospice care, and a perfect moment for them to share, mom Tracey said.
"I will never forget the thrill of that moment and the blessing it was to be able to share it with my family," Stephen said. "It may be my first, but hopefully not my last."

Yesterday afternoon a friend of mine came over and was fully equipped with a bubbly personality to match the other bubbly she brought. Gracing me with her presence (and some champagne) we decided to have a drink together before she met with her boyfriend. It was a great time and I even got a photographer for the day (sorry, iPhone).
In the photo I'm wearing the same H&M seersucker cotton shorts my boyfriend gave me. I paired them with an equally light colored blue to match the pastel striping in my shorts. There was no need for me to change into a different belt because I still very much like how the lighter brown looks with the outfit. It gives it a sort of detail and pop that another might not provide. Another thing that I really love about this look is just how summery it is. The fabrics are light, the colors are light, and everything just meshes to make for a great outfit. It was also very appropriate for the little boat outing my friend invited me along for. It was truly a fantastic day. We lost some blueberries in the making of this post, but I think it was well worth it.

Welcome to Vietnamese Sea - Chào mừng độc giả đến với biển Việt-Nam
Indisputable Historical Facts: French has proved that Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands are Vietnam's sovereignty
Vietnam was a French colony.
During World War II, Japan has been staying a long time in Vietnam. Vietnam and Japan have abundant evidence that the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands belong to Vietnam.
This fact frightens the Chinese communists.
On the continuity of real possession, Dr. Tran Cong Luc has given some very concrete and meaningful historical milestones: As the representative of the State of Vietnam in foreign affairs during the Vietnam period was a French colony, France continued to exercise Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly archipelagos.
Under the Treaty of Patenotre in 1884, the French colonial administration carried out activities representing the Vietnamese State in the continuation of the protection, governance, and affirmation of Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly archipelagos.
Specifically, after a period of research and fieldwork conducted by scientists and exchanges between French politicians related to the Paracel and Spratly Islands, on 8/3/1925, Governor-General of Indochina declared that Paracel and Spratly archipelagos are part of French colonial territory.
On March 19, 1926, the governor of "Cochinchine" granted a mining license to Spratly Island for the phosphate company of Tonkin.
On April 13, 1930, an "information ship" named Malicieuse commandeered by Captain De Lattre headed for the Spratly Islands under the directions of the Governor-General of Indochina to set up the sovereign marks of the Indochinese Islands. De Lattre also stationed at the Spratly Islands and supervised surrounding the smaller islands and shoreline landing strips as well…
On September 23, 1930, following the international protocol, the French government sent diplomatic correspondence to the great powers over the fact that the Spratly Islands were occupied by the French.
On December 31, 1930, the Foreign Relations Office of the Governor-General of Indochina sent a report to the Prime Minister, Minister of the French Colonies on the activities of occupying the Spratly Islands and its surrounding islands along with the research materials regarding the Legal matter of this occupation.
On January 4, 1932, the French Government sent a governmental note to the French embassy in Paris confirming French sovereignty over the Paracels and proposed settlement of the dispute through friendly negotiations or international arbitration. The Communist Chinese denied this offer.
On February 18, 1937, France formally requested the Chinese to apply international arbitration to determine the sovereignty over Paracel archipelago; Again, Chinese rejected.
On November 26, 1937, France sent Chief Engineer J. Gauthier to Paracel to study the locations for building the lighthouses, parking lots for hydroplanes; and studying the settlement conditions in the archipelago.
In 1938, France dispatched its "Regional Security" forces to station on the islands and built a lighthouse; a meteorological station which was registered with the World Meteorological Organization (registration # 48859) on the island of Phu Lam; a wireless station TSF on the Paracel Islands.
On March 30, 1938, Emperor Bao Dai signed the Ordinance No. 10 to merge Paracel into Thua Thien province rather than (Quang) Nam – (Quang) Ngai as before.
On June 15, 1938, France completed the meteorological station on Ba Binh Island, a part of Spratly archipelago
On June 15, 1938, Governor-General of Indochina Jules Brevie signed Decree # 156-S-V to establish an administrative unit for Paracel archipelago in Thua Thien province.
Also in June 1938, a unit of Vietnam's Reginal Security Forces was stationed in the Paracel archipelago. An Event Marl of sovereignty has been erected on the island of Paracel inscribed with the words as follows: "The Republic of Franco-Empire of Vietnam's Paracel archipelago since 1816, dated 1938."
During World War II, Japan declared merging islands in the South China Sea into territories occupied by Japan.
On April 4, 1939, the French Government sent a Governmental Note of protest to the mentioned-above Japanese decisions; and protect the French right over the Paracels and Spratly islands.
On August 15, 1945, Japan lost the war; and withdrew from Indochina;
and on August 26, 1945, Japanese troops had to withdraw from Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos.
Right after the Japanese withdrawal, an extremely complex situation opened up a new and strange era.
Dr. Truc said that in the historical context of late 1946, early 1947, despite Vietnam's declaration of independence on September 2, 1945, no longer tied to the 1884 Patenotre Agreement. On the other hand, the French Government, According to the preliminary agreement of March 6, 1946, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (aka the Communist Vietnam) was still part of the French Union. As such, the French diplomacy was still responsible for enforcing Vietnam's right to represent Vietnam in the fight against any foreign forces trying to violate the Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands.
Under the Treaty of March 8, 1949, France established a pro-French government, called the Vietnamese State, headed by former Emperor Bao Dai. However, in practice, French troops still had the East Sea in their control, including the Paracels and Spratlys.
Also in 1949, the World Meteorological Organization accepted the French's application to list the French-based meteorological stations in the Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands as a list of world meteorological stations: Phu Lam number 48859, Hoang Sa Station number 48860, and Ba Binh Station number 48419.
On October 14, 1950, the Governor General of Central Vietnam Phan Van Giao chaired the handover over the Paracel archipelago between the French Government and Bao Dai Government.
From September 5 to September 8, 1951, the San Francisco Symposium was attended by representatives from 51 countries who signed the treaty with Japan. At the plenary session on Sept. 5, with 48 abstentions, three votes in favor, the conference rejected the proposal made by Secretary of State Gromyko (former Soviet Union) to amend paragraph 13 of the Draft. The Draft contains: Japan acknowledges the People Republic of China (Communist China)'s sovereignty over the Paracels and the islands further south.
On September 7, 1951, Prime Minister and (in lieu) Minister of State of Vietnam Tran Van Huu solemnly declared the two archipelagos Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) as the territory of Vietnam. No participant in this conference commented anything on this statement.
On September 8, 1951, the treaty with Japan was signed. Article 2, Paragraph 7, of the Treaty, states: "Japan renounced its sovereignty, title, and ambition for the Paracel and Spratly Islands" (Paragraph f).
On July 20, 1954, the signed Geneva Agreement recognized Vietnam as a country with independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity. Article 1 of the Agreement provides for the Ben Hai River (parallel 17) as a temporary demarcation line to distribute territorial management rights between the two North-South regions of Vietnam. This temporary frontier is also extended by a straight line from the coast to the sea (Article 4). The Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands are located under the 17th parallel, so they are under the administration of the South Vietnamese government.
In April 1956, when the French Expeditionary Army withdrew from Indochina, the Vietnamese National Army, later the Republic of (South) Vietnam, took over the Hoang Sa(Paracel) archipelago. Before the invasion of some islands in the Paracels and Spratly Islands by the Chinese Communists at the time of this transition, the Government of the Republic of Vietnam has voiced its opposition.
On May 24 and June 8, 1956, the Government of the Republic of Vietnam issued a statement stressing that the Paracel and the Spratly Islands "were always part of Vietnam" and claimed assertion of sovereignty; Long ago in Vietnam.
On July 13, 1971, at the ASPEC Manila Conference, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Viet Nam Tran Van Lam declared the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes under Vietnamese sovereignty.
From January 17 to January 20, 1974, the Chinese Navy mobilized military forces to occupy the western part of the Paracel Sa archipelago. On the diplomatic front, the Republic of Vietnam has strongly protested against the United Nations and the international community.

Install or upgrade the operative system
Did you know Windows XP has gone out of support by Microsoft, and Vista is about to follow suit?
When Microsoft stops support for a version of its software, it also stops developing the security patches and subsequently, the risk of infection and data loss increases.
Compounding the problem for old dinosaur computers is that new programs will not run in old operative systems. Face the facts, the newest programs are by far the most secure, fastest, and reliable.
So, if you are the type that holds onto hardware for a while, you may find yourself deciding if it is time to upgrade what you have, or replace the computer all together.
Our experience tells us that if you have had your machine for more than 4 years, it may be a good idea to simply buy a new one with Windows 7 on it. Check our Online Store for deals on New and Certified Refurbish desktops and laptops .
We value service as much as sales, and will honestly advise you if your machine would benefit from a system upgrade. You will positively be surprised at how much better Windows 7 performs compared with Windows XP on the same computer.
Feel free to call us to discuss these options. Once you decide, just give us a call and we will dispatch a technician along with a Windows 7 Installation disk (if you haven't purchased one yet) and bring your computer up to the latest system.
While there, we can perform a backup of your data and restore it when we are done, as well as install any software, peripherals, or anything else you need us to do.

Fastest method for protein extraction
- Published: Tuesday, 21 March 2017 09:40
PCR UV hoods use shortwave ultraviolet to control unwanted transfers of nucleic acids.
The systems bring together UV irradiation, antimicrobial stainless steel and aluminum to create a dual-attack environment against PCR contaminations.
In addition to standard PCR UV² models, PCR UV³ HEPA systems with integrated three-stage filters are available.
Protein extraction using RIPA buffer is a common practice. However due to the lack of comparable method, there is no direct comparison of protein profiles extracted by RIPA buffer and other methods. Here we report a side by side comparison between a rapid (1- 3 min) novel protein extraction kit and RIPA buffer.

The Effect of Reduced Teacher Numbers on Children's Education in Dundee
I am very concerned about the negative effect on children's education of the £4.3 million cuts in Education that the SNP are introducing in their budget for Dundee Schools for April 2011 - March 2012.
By requesting this item is placed on the agenda of the Education Committee on Monday, I have provided the only opportunity for the Education Committee to consider the impact of these changes before they are considered at the Budget meeting of the Policy & Resources Committee in February.
I think the most likely effect of their package of cuts will be a end to the improving exam results in Dundee Schools, maybe some slipping back in performance. This is to be regretted , especially at a time when exam grades will be so important for school leavers as they compete for places at college and university or for their first job.
I hope the Education Committee, will send the Education Convener to think again.

Well, before we start ranting about whether or not, wheatgrass carries any significant health benefits; let's first analyze what wheatgrass really is. So, to give you a very quick and brief idea about wheatgrass, I would describe it simply as a common type of wheat plant. Its scientific name is really confusing and difficult to remember: Triticum Aestivum.
Wheatgrass is very different from wheat malt and you may either prepare it freeze dried or fresh (this depends on you). The dominant content in wheatgrass is chlorophyll.
Are there any Wheatgrass health benefits?
Yes, there are countless health benefits of drinking freshly prepared wheatgrass juice! The high chlorophyll content makes wheatgrass juice a lot healthy to drink. There are people who would go for wheatgrass juice only once in a while, but those who understand the diverse health benefits that wheatgrass juice offers, consumes it regularly and live a healthy life. You can begin to experience the health benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice within a week's time.
[box type="info"] Following are few of the health benefits that wheatgrass juice has to offer you!
- Increased level of alertness and high energy, lasting throughout the day,
- Joint pain minimized,
- You would feel comparatively more rested and thereby, a lot fresh,
- Healthier nails, hair and skin,
- Strong Immune system,
- Protection against carcinogens,
- Reduction in cravings and an overall better health profile.
Wheatgrass is actually, young and freshly sprouted wheat that resembles grass. It takes shape of a spinach looking vegetable within just 7 days time! People, usually, believe that the marvelous health benefits of wheatgrass can be attributed to its rapid growth rate and the inter-conversion of sun's energy into the plant. Once grown, you can simply cut the plant-blades and chew them (remember not to swallow them) or you can juice them with a juicing machine.
How often should you consume fresh wheatgrass juice?
Well, the ideal way would be to take one glass of freshly juiced wheatgrass, around an hour before your regular meals. Avoid combining wheatgrass juice with other drinks or fluids. You may start from 1 ounce a day and move up to 6 ounces a day, gradually.
There are a number of healthy vitamins, enzymes, nutrients and fresh chlorophyll content in wheatgrass juice and all of these beneficial components function in unison to make your body remain healthy. It is a common saying that only 1 ounce of fresh wheatgrass juice equals almost two pounds of fresh vegetables! Amazing!
Wheatgrass juices, not only rapidly cleanses your body but it heals your body thoroughly by removing the toxins and detoxifying your body. A great number of people turn to wheatgrass juice, to combat against cancer disease, arthritis or diabetes. You may hear success stories of healing from such people about miraculous health advantages of wheatgrass.
Now, if you go to some bar or café to have wheatgrass juice on a daily basis, that would cost you a fortune in a year! So, how should you have it then? Juice wheatgrass at home! You can either purchase fresh wheatgrass or you can grow it at home with the help of an easily available wheatgrass kit. To juice it properly, you will need an appropriate electric wheatgrass juicer. Juicing wheatgrass at home is not only fun but its also more efficient and money savvy!
A great product to consider is the Lexen Wheatgrass Juicer. Check it out below

Most coffee is brewed in a machine, which is understandable considering that people who make coffee at home have some version of an auto-drip device. Although most coffee found in restaurants and cafés is made in a machine, there are many other options out there. Often times these options allow for a higher quality brew, particularly if the person who makes the drink is aware of brewing standards. These standards require that water temperature must be anywhere between 195-205° F and that the ratio of coffee to water be two tablespoons of coffee per every six ounces of water.
Pour-over coffee brewing happens to be one of the more convenient ways of brewing coffee outside of a coffee maker. A pour-over system can come in many shapes and sizes, but all pour-over systems share a few common characteristics. They include a filter typically made of paper, a support device, and a nozzle or hole that allows the coffee to drip in to a container. Many of these systems do accommodate more than one cup of coffee, but the vast majority are constructed for single cup brewing. The main reason for this is that a user of a pour-over method is likely more concerned with quality over mass production, and that quality requires freshness as a component.
Now, you may ask yourself, how is this going to make the brewing process easier? The answer is simple. When you desire a cup of coffee, all you have to do is place a pour over support system over your mug. These are typically just a piece of plastic with a cradle that supports the filter on top. Next, place a filter in the cone and fill with the desired amount of coffee. You might consider pre-wetting the filter itself. Pour hot water (195-205° F) over the grounds evenly, let it steep for around 4-5 minutes and voilà, your coffee is ready! Of course you cannot preset your pour-over filter to work for you, but it is much faster than a typical machine, and the quality is unparalleled. The temperature of the water is much easier to monitor and the price of a typical filter system rarely exceeds twenty dollars. A pour-over system weighs very little, and the cleanup is a breeze. Convenience and mass production makes auto-drip brewers popular, however, when you can offer a customer a truly handcrafted cup, the pour-over method is highly recommended. However, a large auto-drip at your local diner can serve hundreds of customers each day, and a pour-over method simply cannot compete at that level.
The purpose of the pour-over is to deliver a remarkable cup of coffee without all of the bells and whistles. The convenience factor is hard to argue with even though the filter doesn't have a clock radio built in. Sometimes simple is simply better, and in the case of the pour-over method you can't get much simpler.

Embroidered Graffiti
Here's an odd thing to admit: I have a soft spot for graffiti.
Don't get me wrong, I know why graffiti can be awful, particularly if it's your building that has the graffiti on it. And lately, I've seen some rather tasteless graffiti on a nearby church (I have no time for that sort of vandalism). But there is an art to graffiti and I can appreciate that. So when I found a challenge on Feeling Stitchy to make embroidery out of graffiti, I was pretty excited. The challenge also suggests turning embroidery into graffiti, but I haven't yet thought of how/if I'll do that. I really don't see me stitching onto a bus seat. But am totally up for turning some graffiti into embroidery. I'll have to go through my photos I've taken of interesting graffiti or take a walk around town in search of something I like. I think this will be a fun challenge.

The Glee is Gone --- Forever!
Glee, truly made me grow as an artist and musician.
The 6 year journey of glee is also the 6 year journey of its fans (like me), seeing it ends, truly a heartbreak because a lot of things happened in the show ( even in our real lives ) that made us relate our life dramas to the show.
10. Ding Dong the Witch is Dead - Knew what the broadway is all about, "Wizard of Oz".
The Scientist - All the way to 90's but hey! I discovered the band Coldplay cause of this, i also became an instant follower of the band.
Here's To Us - Just an inspiring song.
So what's your favorite glee covered song?
14 comments
Never watched it, but you make it sound great! I remember when Mary Tyler Moore decided to end her series and how lonely I felt the last day. But I learned from her that ending while a show is a hit leaves the audience in a good place as opposed to tiring you out with episodes. Then when my daughter went to college, it became one of her fav's too! We watched re-runs together!ReplyDelete
I was a fan of Glee at least for the first 3 seasons of it pero afterwards mejo hindi na naging maganda yung plot but i watch their performances sa Youtube...I heard na maganda daw yung naging season finale nila.. so maybe I will try to catch up online heheReplyDelete
I personally like the followingReplyDelete
1. Defying Gravity - Rachel and Kurt
2. For Good - Rachel and Kurt
3. Downtown - Rachel
4. Gloria - Rachel, Santana, Elliot
5.Halo/Walking On Sunshine
6.Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Will and Puck
7. I Want To Hold Your Hand - Kurt
8. Rolling In The Deep - Jesse and Rachel
9. Make You Feel My Love - Rachel
10. Don't Rain On My Parade - Rachel
I have not watched this. But whenever I watch a movie, I always put myself in the show. It becomes so real!ReplyDelete
I watched the first 3 seasons of the series. Maybe, I'll catch up on Netflix. I am currently crazy for Grace & Frankie. Prior to watching it, I finished the first 3 seasons of Hart of Dixie. There are so many shows, and too little time. :DReplyDelete
Oi! Ngayon ko lang narinig about them. Hays....growing older na yata ko:) Di pinalabas dito sa Norwayeh:(ReplyDelete
I changed my url: http://arcadia.ofblue.org/ and I saved my entry. :D I am from Color Musing.ReplyDelete
And while, I had problems with Glee, I enjoyed it a lot.
I never got to see even one episode of this!ReplyDelete
I was unable to watch the final season, sana mapanood ko pag-uwe. :)ReplyDelete
I also like their covers of old and new songs. Minsan, mas naaappreciate mo kesa sa original.
I think it is perfectly fine for a man to like to watch Glee because Glee is all about the music and many singers are men.ReplyDelete
Season 2 was my favourite ... and Season 3 too, i guess ... thanks for bringing back the memories! :)ReplyDelete
Gusto ko lang talaga to nung mga unang season lang. Anlabo na ng kwento nung mga middle part.. Ang lalandi na ng characters.ReplyDelete
I'm not really a big Glee fan pero may mga nasusubaybayan din akong ilang mga episodes nila, specially dito sa final season.ReplyDelete
Fave song ko? yung version nila ng Last Christmas wahaha! (maiba lungs)
This is uso when I was still in college but I'm not really after what's trendy. I'm not sure if I've tried watching it once or twice when charice pempengco is there. I think I'll add some of here in my playlist.ReplyDelete

At Eastern Airlines, we had problems with the DLC/AGSB system that caused the spoilers to deploy on final approach, usually in the rain. Replacing the truck tilt sensor wiring always fixed this problem. However, it is my opinion that it was not severe weather that caused that crash, but the failure of the DLC/AGSB system because of a faulty truck tilt sensor system. The tell tale evidence is that there was an open discrepancy on the DLC system saying it was inoperable. This is usually a sign that the truck tilt system is faulty. Eastern had a few aircraft that had their spoilers deploy up to 40 degrees (maximum on the ground is 60 and max in the air is 14) while on final approach. I remember the captain commenting to me that they had added full power and it was still sinking. Finally, he saw the spoiler handle deployed, stowed the spoilers and landed it. The FAA was always instructed not to get involved with Eastern's maintenance, so these failures never got to the industry. At least, I think it didn't, or Delta would have fixed their aircraft as they were very good with maintenance.
On another subject, N309EA (msn 1010) almost crashed and had many inflight shutdowns due to severe vibration. There was a problem with the RB211 No.1 location (thrust) bearing, which almost caused the grounding of the entire fleet. N309EA took off from Newark and as it climbed through 13,000, the No.2 engine fan and fan shaft forward of the No.1 location bearing separated from the engine, cutting its way through the S-duct, cutting three of the four hydraulic system lines with fan blades and exiting on the right side of the forward part of the duct. The aircraft was nursed to New York JFK where it was parked at the hangar and the passengers were deplaned from the left side and did not see the gaping hole in the tail. They also never knew how close they were to crashing, as a line on the fourth hydraulic system was nicked.
Eastern also had a TriStar that took off from Miami to the Bahamas encounter severe problems. Because the mechanics forgot to put "o" rings in the magnetic chip detectors, they lost all oil on all three engines. The captain made the mistake of choosing to turn back, which cost them valuable time. Because the RB211 had a oil hiding problem where the oil quantity would drop to a very low level in certain attitudes and then the oil level would mysteriously return to normal, the flight crew didn't take the decrease of the oil quantity seriously until the oil temperatures began to rise. From what i heard, they lost one engine on downwind, the second one on final approach and the third one right after touchdown. There had been many occurrences where a mechanic had left out the "o" rings on the chip detector of one engine, but until this event, it had never happened to multiple engines. I told my manager, the Manager of Technical Support, Jim Foucault that someday we will have an aircraft that will lose the oil on all three engines and he said that the probability was slim. I gave some suggestions as to how to prevent this from reoccurring, but he was more concerned with politics, which was a main motivator at Eastern. I cannot be absolutely sure, but the facts that were made public combined with the facts that I already know about this system and the fact that it usually fails in the heavy rain makes it a good possibility. Also, the investigating team may not have been very knowledgeable of the DLC system and if they noticed the spoiler positions being up, they may have asked the Lockheed representative who, to protect his job and company from lawsuits, said that it is normal for there to be spoiler deployment on final approach.
The last time I touched a TriStar was in 1989 when I worked for Hawaiian Air as a maintenance representative.

This website provides information regarding the consumer restitution program established in connection with the litigation entitled State of Connecticut v. The F&S Oil Company, Inc., Carlson Fuel of Meriden, Inc., Village Oil, Inc., U.S. Fuels, LLC and/or Bosse Graziano Oil Company (the defendants are collectively referred to hereafter as "F&S"). Recently, checks were mailed to consumers who qualified for partial refunds for unfulfilled prepaid oil and service contracts they had with F&S that were for personal, family or household use.
These checks were mailed as part of the Settlement between Citizens Bank and the State of Connecticut creating a consumer restitution fund to compensate consumers who suffered a direct monetary loss as a result of F&S's failure to fulfill prepaid oil and/or prepaid service contracts that were for personal, family or household use. "Restitution" includes only money you have paid, less any refunds or credits you may have already received from F&S or any other source, such as your credit card company.
Because the total amount of valid claims far exceeded the $1 million restitution fund, valid claims were paid in proportion to their share of all valid claims made. Each consumer's restitution amount was determined through a careful claims review process, including deduction, where appropriate, of any chargeback credit or refunds the consumer may have previously received.
If you have any questions, you may contact The Garden City Group, Inc. at 1 (800) 961-2157.

Standing tall and cool in front of a small combo, the Chicago vocalist Rose Colella plumbs the Great American Songbook for her repertory, from Irving Berlin and the Gershwins through Cole Porter and Frank Loesser. In this respect, she fits the mold of many modern jazz singers.
But most vocalists did not learn these tunes from their grandmothers — and their grandmothers did not learn them from Ella Fitzgerald.
"She didn't talk much about her career, probably because she thought we weren't that interested," Ms. Colella said, referring to her paternal grandmother, Alice Muriel Barbera, who went by Lola Bard, a glamorous but obscure vocalist of the 1930s and '40s. "I knew she had been a singer, and I remember she would sit at the piano and teach me these songs and tell stories about bands she had been on. And finally I put it together that these were the songs she had sung as a professional."
It took a bit longer for Ms. Colella, 32, to realize how those early lessons had sunk in. "Around middle school, it hit me that I loved these melodies," she said. "My mother bought me a subscription to a sheet-music magazine, and I started to recognize some of the same songs Lola had sung. My favorite thing was to sit and play these tunes and learn them myself."
Ms. Colella is a young veteran of the city's jazz and cabaret scene, who collected warm reviews for the low-key "Small Hours," her only album thus far. The Canadian jazz magazine Cadence praised her "coolly coquettish and swinging manner," and Chicago Jazz Magazine called it "a solid debut." In January, Ms. Colella will host a weekly jam session at the city's famed Jazz Showcase.Continue reading the main story
Ms. Colella's grandmother was born in 1912 and began singing on the radio while she was in college in New York. A couple of years later, when she met Tony Colella, a big-band trumpeter her age, she knew what she wanted both on stage and off.
They married in October 1938. (They would divorce a decade later but remain friends.) And in 1938, Lola Bard began her recording career, appearing on four songs with the trumpet star Bobby Hackett and on six more with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, which had made the first well-known commercial recordings classified as jazz in 1917.
Also in 1938, Ms. Bard's commercial recording career came to an end. "It spanned exactly two days — Feb. 16 with Hackett, and Feb. 18 with the O.D.J.B.," said Dan Morgenstern, the departing director of Rutgers University's Institute for Jazz Studies.
But in an e-mail, Mr. Morgenstern mentioned another, never-issued recording of Ms. Bard from 1937, and he unearthed a photo from the April 1938 edition of Downbeat magazine with the caption: "Newest singing favorite of New York is Lola Bard."
"Not exactly a household name," he added, "though she sang very nicely on that handful of discs."
Ms. Bard's few recordings place her just a degree or two from some of jazz's greatest names. The members of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band knew Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman, who spoke favorably about the band's clarinetist. And she had a more-than-passing friendship with Ella Fitzgerald — as close to jazz royalty as you can get.
"Lola used to sing Ella's hit, 'A-Tisket, A-Tasket.' One night in her dressing room, she heard someone yelling her name. She looked over the balcony and it was Ella, eating a box of chocolates, calling 'Lola! Lola, it's Ella, honey! I came to hear you sing my song!' " Ms. Colella said.
She also met Frank Sinatra, Ms. Colella said, "but Lola didn't have a positive opinion of him."
"She bumped into him once, and he said something so suggestive that she would never repeat it — something about her figure — and she was just offended that he would say something so brazen," Ms. Colella said.
Despite the Colella family's rich history, the members rarely played their matriarch's recordings. "She hated listening to them," Ms. Colella said, explaining that the old records must have been pressed at the wrong speed. "The music was faster, and her voice was higher than it should have been. There was quite a negative connotation to them, and we never listened to them when she was around."
But after Ms. Bard died in 2000, Ms. Colella brought home some CD reissues of the songs, "and our jaws dropped," she said. "We were finally hearing her the right way. We had thought she was just being hypersensitive, but it wasn't the case. She had this low, lovely, warm quality, and this beautiful wilting vibrato."
Since then, Ms. Colella — who shares her grandmother's eyes and nose and some of her phrasing, but sings in a light soprano — has devoted herself to documenting Ms. Bard's legacy.
"I found one of her old records at a big sale, I had no idea there were any floating around, and at that point, I started researching her online," she said.
Ms. Colella has since acquired other 78 r.p.m. records, as well as sheet music with her grandmother's picture on the cover, and old newspaper clippings.
"She inspired me by showing me this music in the first place," Ms. Colella said. "My parents inspired me, by supporting me, providing lessons, sending me to college. But my model was Lola Bard."Continue reading the main story

I can't get the cartoon 'Pinky and the Brain' out of my mind these days. That was the one featuring a mad mouse and his stupid mouse minion plotting the domination of the world, as you may recall. But my thoughts lead irresistibly toward the notion that there is indeed a Brain, an association of plutocrats aided by stupid minions such as former acting CIA Director Michael Morell and bent on directing the global economy by political means. Take the Oxfam report at this year's Davos gathering asserting that 62 individuals control more than half the world's wealth, and the libertyblitzkreig.com list of the 82 hyperbillionaires of the world in January 2015 ( what? 20 not playing ball nowadays?) and the astonishing Salon.com report by Ben Norton showing the aversion of capitalism to democracy, a tendency toward authoritarian figures in government, and Karl Marx's "the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie"
I read the assertion in Dollarocracy by John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney that presidential candidates like Pat Roberts do not run to win, only to capture a voting block for a greater strategic purpose. That brings me to The Donald and his self-immolation of the past few days. I see the Trump/Hillary phenom as a single beating heart, left and right atria and ventricles. On Hil's side foreign policy directed by neocons in exchange for a domestic policy allowed to tend toward the progressive, while in Trumpland neoliberal foreign policy is, again to tap Marx, a 'rosy dawn of the [new] era of capitalist production" compounded by a lunatic authoritarian, xenophobic yada yada domestic policy which is doomed to cut him out of the picture eventually, leaving a vast and rabid voting bloc squirreled away to tap at the leisure of those who do such things.
Then there's Alex Jones, a gentleman who, like the broken clocks, is (maybe) exactly right about things twice a day (sometimes). For a while there he was on a tear, interviewing Ray McGovern and Greg Palast along with Deep State proponents, and what came out of this phase was that there is a globalist cabal that intends to eliminate hundred of millions of people and impose a new world order based on absolute control of the economic and political systems of the world. Now Mr. Jones is back to warning us about Lizard People I guess, but tendencies around the planet toward the right and authoritarianism, neocon ascendence in spite of their bloodsoaked failures everywhere, neoliberal thievery all over the place, demonization of Putin, encirclement of China, Clinton's appalling history of deathdealing, irresponsibility, and corruption and her horrifying talk of no-fly zones, resistance to Russia etc, her stupid minions crushing the Bernie Sanders insurrection, oh my head hurts with it all.
So I return to "Pinky and the Brain" and I have to wonder, was an international conspiracy really behind the cartoon, and is the NSA really behind Pokemon Go…?

Prime Minister Odinga votes in Kenya presidential poll
Mar. 4 - Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga votes in the country's presidential election, which is expected to come down to a head-to-head with Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Monday (March 4) voted with his fellow Kenyans in a presidential election that will test whether the east African nation can rebuild its image after tribal blood-letting followed a 2007 poll, but the killing of at least four policemen cast an early shadow. A few hours before voting officially started at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT), four police officers deployed to keep the peace during the vote in the Mombasa area were hacked to death by a gang of machete-wielding youths, a senior officer said. Officials and candidates have made impassioned appeals to avoid a repeat of the tribal bloodshed that erupted over the disputed result of the 2007 election, which killed more than 1,200 people and hurt Kenya's reputation as one of Africa's most stable democracies. As in 2007, the race has come down to a high-stakes head-to-head between two candidates, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta. The West also frets about the outcome of the presidential race. Kenyatta has been indicted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court after he was accused with his running mate, William Ruto, of instigating the post-2007 vote violence. He denies the charges. But, if he wins, it would present a diplomatic dilemma for Western nations that donate hundreds of millions dollars a year to Kenya.

EPA asked to ban popular herbicide
Atrazine's maker rejects claims by environmental group
This AP story (via MSNBC) points out many of the problems with Atrazine, which is banned in banned in France, Germany and Italy. The National Resources Defense Council has petitioned to ban its use in the US.
WASHINGTON, June 4 — An environmental group asked the government Monday to ban the use of atrazine, a weedkiller commonly sprayed on cornfields and lawns. The Natural Resources Defense Council filed a petition asking the EPA to take the chemical off the market, charging its leading manufacturer did not properly disclose that 17 workers had developed prostate cancer. The group also said the chemical had been linked to deformities in frogs.Furthermore, it seems this one of the interesting little compounds that the EPA tested on human subjects, which they're not supposed to do....
NRDC also said EPA's risk assessment for atrazine violates the agency's own policy because it relies partly on "an unlawful and unethical experiment in which human volunteers were intentionally exposed to atrazine."Of course, the maker of this nasty little herbicide, Swiss-based Syngenta, the world's biggest agribusiness, claims it's all bunk, and that their product is perfectly safe. The petition calls for an investigation of Syngenta. New EPA rules regarding its use are expected by late summer. Anyone want to bet on what a Bu$h run EPA will do?

Movee will provide users with a simple one stop shop where they will find up to date personally tailored videos from around the web. During Phase one we will be curating the best videos of the day for the user, simplified into a one page feed. New videos will be posted continually driving engagement throughout the day. If a user is bored, has a few minutes of down time or has a desire to discover, dream or explore they can simply open up their app and be fed the videos they want to consume. It is important to note that all videos will be kept to under five minutes and no channel will post over 3 videos a day. By doing so, we believe consumers are more likely to engage with multiple pieces of content in their feeds daily. The content will be fed from established content producers such as ESPN, SNL, TED talks, Food network, etc. Users will identify their interests and receive curated clips daily to be consumed on the go.

SENTRI crossing change in Tijuana
SENTRI crossing was moved to Av Padre Kino effective March 3. This is an easier route for many and eases traffic congestion on Paseo Centenario. The big problem is there was little to no advertisement of the change and very few signs show the way to the new lane.

Just keep it right there sir, just keep it right there! :)
LOL It is way too early for pics like that. You should suffer some penalty or something.
Like maybe you hafta read 10 articles from Salon or Huffington post or something.
Looks like the wet, slushy stuff - good for making snowmen!
Ack! We dodged the first frost last night, but it was real close.
eiaftinfo - we seem to be about six weeks ahead of your part of the Midwest, re: when fall & winter set in. So be ye warned. :)
Preppy - isn't there a Constitution protection against such cruel & unusual punishment?
Chickenmom - that it is, and we don't get much wet snow. 99% of what falls over the winter here is powder. The only reason this is slushy is because it's so early.
threecollie, it won't be long now, for y'all.
If you can't control it, enjoy it. And make everyone shiver by posting a picture of it!
You make it sound so sinister, Max. Bwaahahahahaha (mine is an evil laugh!)
I think I'll stick with being "down south" ;) OTOH I have seen an abundance of wooly worms this year. I really hope this doesn't mean an abundance of snow. LOL.
Teresa, a cold winter in the Lower 48 would just be another poke in the eye for the global warming hoax crowd, but I know it's not what the rest of you want.
It'd be funny, though. :)
Rev. Paul,
Oh how I dread the days of snow shoveling, and scraping windows. It's to early for us, please......please keep it there in Alaska.
I hear you, Sandy, and will see what we can do. :)
