How to Use KeepVid to Download MP4 Videos Free from YouTube
- I tried to download videos from YouTube via KeepVid, so I pasted the link, but when I selected 'save target as', I got the message saying 'Internet Explorer cannot download save-video.mp4 from keepvid.com. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". How can I solve this?
- When I try to download after entering url and clicking on "Run" when prompted, I get the list of download options to save file as. However when I click on the option & click on save file, (the saving location box pops up and) has the file name is shown as "videoplayback" and in "Save as type", it only shows the All Files option. When I downloaded it, it downloaded with that file name and file size; however no extension. So I tried adding mp4 (as it was the option I'd chosen from the list) extension, but there was nothing. It's just blank.

KeepVid Video Downloading Problems Do Exist
KeepVid is a very popular and easy-to-use online video downloading freeware (but not open-sourced as HandBrake). Without installing and downloading the program, users can get most videos from YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more saved on personal computers. However, many people raise questions saying KeepVid only saves videos in FLV format, or YouTube has updated its site but keepvid.com no longer supports downloading many MP4 video files smoothly. Sometimes, KeepVid can download MP4 videos without any problem on Google Chrome. But the problem persists on some other browsers so far, such as Firefox, Opera and Cometbird. Even it could, it turns out to deliver a very slow downloading speed to keep pace with modern life.
Similar problems do exist in using KeepVid to download videos and music, and here we just take the free MP4 video downloading problem as an example.
Any Way to Download MP4 Files from YouTube without Any Problem?
The error messages popping up during downloading videos, such as .mp4, from YouTube by use of KeepVid is really annoying. And sometimes your YouTube videos downloaded with KeepVid have no sound. Is there any way to avoid such issue? Some suggest installing an addon to allow picking the output format. Actually, not all Addons are safe to your browse or computer. But an ad-free and fast YouTube downloading software, represented by WinX YouTube Downloader (for Windows, not for Mac), might come as an alternative to KeepVid, for a more secure, user-friendly and one-for-all usability.

So the Master Chief hasn't yet been 'created' but the world is under attack from the Covenant. Only the marines can help and luckily-you are one such marine!!
You begin the journey with a small recon team, a regular set of weapons and the objective of searching a nearby building for signs of life. It's not long before the minions of the Covenant are attacking in force and you fall in to the familiar role of fighting the Elite Brutes and swapping to a plasma rifle.
The levels are varied with parts with driving vehicles, controlling mounted guns and taking on hoards of enemies.
Halo Reach's co-op multiplayer makes playing through the large campaign more enjoyable as you can team up with a friend and take it turns to drive the Warthogs or banshees.
The online competitive multiplayer is great-the maps and variety of each map means a different style of play will play to the strengths of some players and not to others but the tables can turn on the next round!
The addition of the Bunjie servers allowing you to create levels to upload and share is another great addition which only adds to the life span of Halo Reach.

Hearings and Business Meetings
Nov 01 2005
National Parks Subcommittee Hearing
SD-366 Energy Committee Hearing Room 10:00 AM
Senator Craig Thomas
Senator Craig Thomas — Opening Statement
Oversight Hearing on
National Park Service Management Policies
Subcommittee on National Parks
Tuesday, November 1st , 2005
Good morning. I want to welcome our witnesses to today's Subcommittee Hearing.
Our purpose for this hearing is to review the National Park Service's proposed management policies including potential impact of the policies on park operations, park resources, interaction with gateway communities, solicitation and collection of donations, and revised manager hiring practices.
National Parks are special places that symbolize the American spirit. Each park was established by Congress for a specific purpose and must be managed to sustain that purpose. The management policies we are here to discuss are intended to guide employees as they seek to maintain the resources for current and future public enjoyment.
We were all reminded of the public interest in National Parks when people were made aware of plans to revise the management policies. Some overreacted by concluding that an internal working document was destined for implementation. We now know that it is a work in progress.
I would like to commend Steve Martin and the members of the National Park Service policy development team for being responsive to public concerns. The purpose of this hearing is to continue to obtain public input and to ensure the National Park Service is well-informed as they complete the document.
Again, I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for being here today. I look forward to hearing the testimony being presented.

I recently presented a couple of sessions at the Adventist Schools Victoria Annual Conference, held at Nunawading Christian College. These events are always filled with great ideas, great people and excellent networking opportunities (ie. Time to chat with people from schools you haven't seen in a while). I'm always left impressed by the innovative things that teachers are already doing with students in their classrooms with ICT.
I had the pleasure of partnering with Scott Westray from Gilson College who has done some terrific work with podcasting and assessment. Instead of just the normal written feedback for his English classes, he created a five minute podcast which outlined their strengths, weaknesses and marks. Students loved this form of feedback. A link to his in class research and study can be found here.
We discussed as a group some reasons why it would be beneficial to use ICT for feedback and assessment. Some of them include:
- Organisation (Folders, tabs, labels, notebooks)
- Track progress (see progress live, check revision history)
- Collaboration (peer editing, students can respond to and edit comments)
- Versatile, accessible
- Cloud based/does not get lost
- Streamline/save time
What reasons do you use ICT to send/receive assessments and feedback?
And what tools do you use to achieve this? Click here to fill out an online poll.
Some excellent tools to experiment with are: Explain Everything (for iPad), Google Docs for streamlining commenting on work (all devices), Jing for capturing your screen (PC or Mac) and Technology such as TurnItIn for detecting plagiarism.

I'm a gadget girl. No I don't need them, but I like them and I use them and I justify them by thinking of all the people I help keep employed when I buy a new gadget.
This past holiday I got an iTouch, my newest gadget. I had asked for one because I am intrigued by the applications you can get for them. I need a dictionary everywhere I go. I need a Spanish dictionary half the places I go. I need a way to keep track of what it is I'm suppose to be keeping track of. I need my contacts with me because I'm always at the post office sending stuff and missing zip codes or whole street numbers. (What "Janine in Boston" won't get it there?)
Imagine my dismay when I found only a few apps. for horses! There's this one for training to a tempo, great for dressage or endurance. http://www.equiapps.com/equitempo/
This app has a lot of extra features, all the FEI dressage tests, animated diagrams and ability to record the movements to match your particular horses strides. Check out the explanation on YouTube.
Being OCD about the geldings' health I was looking for a nice equine first aid app. but only came up with ones for veterinary terms and this one (of several) for medication information: http://www.avettool.com/
Actually, it looks pretty good if you are a vet student or recent grad. There are a number of apps. for veterinary terminology, mostly flash card format. The largest number of equine or horse apps. are for racing and figuring out odds and picking winners.
But the equine community is missing a lot of apps that could do the horse world good. Hay, oops, Hey, here's a great opportunity for some equine income for any enterprising, computer savvy, individuals, and you don't have to be in an office and forego riding time to make these buggers.
Since I (hopefully) have inspired someone, here are my app. requests.
- Equine first aid; based on the Hands on Horse Care book from Horse and Rider. One of the best first aid books because it is sequential and gives practical advice, if you need a vet and what to do while waiting for a vet. But, hey folks, I'll take any equine first aid app. How many of us really have the book with us in the aisle way- but an app on a mobile device is apt to be on my belt.
- A Nutrition App. The NCR tables (our tax payer dollar paid for them, why can't we have access to them?). List of sources of nutrients (protein- alfalfa, whey, ect). An enterprising feed mill could develop an app. that guides the user through nutrition needs for their horse and then offers the recommended feed and amounts to be feed.
- A forage App. Show me pictures of stages of hay, describe good quality, describe stages of growth and likely protein, carb and sugar content. Describe different types of hay, growing seasons, restrictions, pros, cons, etc.
- Equine toxic weeds. Show me pictures, and tell me the symptoms and what to do, if I should be concerned and how to rid it in my pasture.
- My very own equine health calendar with reminders (and cute icons- very important to have cute icons) for deworming, farrier visits, veterinary visits, vaccines, health record, training and travel dates.
- A Budget App. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea.
Those are the horse care Apps. I'd love to see. I'll bet those of you who show, train, trail ride, ship have a few requests of your own. I'd love to hear about them.
I'd love to be able to join in the equine cocktail conversation with, "There's an App. for that!"

Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA)
Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) is a highly advanced form of photo-refractive keratectomy (PRK, which is a reshaping of the cornea with laser light), using highly sophisticated excimer lasers capable of eye tracking and customized treatment to reshape the front surface of the cornea and correct vision.
ASA patients are treated with exactly the same advanced lasers as our LASIK patients, and the accuracy and long-term results of ASA and LASIK are virtually identical. We recommend this surface treatment for certain patients with very thin corneas, those who have had previous LASIK surgery or individuals involved in high contact activities.
The pictures below provide an overview of how this safe and effective procedure is performed here at Clearview.
About ASA
The ASA procedure we perform today is a very far cry from excimer laser surgery we performed ten years ago, commonly referred to as first generation PRK. While those early cases provided excellent results, there was definitely more discomfort with surgery from that era.
Today's ASA patients do experience some discomfort, generally over a 48 hour period, however with vastly improved lasers, techniques, advanced overnight contact lenses, medications and eye drops most patients heal quickly and are able to return to normal activities in 3-5 days.
A temporary soft contact lens is placed on the eye for a few days during the healing process... One very minor disadvantage of ASA is that vision is often slightly blurry for a few days after the surgery. This blurring is only temporary, ASA patients are treated with exactly the same advanced lasers as our LASIK patients, and the accuracy and long-term results of ASA and LASIK are virtually identical.
Patients who previously could not have LASIK surgery can have refractive surgery and have freedom from their glasses or contacts. Many patients who would be candidates for either LASIK or ASA will elect to have ASA simply because it offers comparable results with the advantages of a completely "flap"-free surgery.

|Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York
Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General
The following is a near-verbatim transcript of today's noon briefing by Martin Nesirky, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Good afternoon, everybody.
**Côte d'Ivoire
Last night, the Secretary-General's Special Representative in Côte d'Ivoire, Choi Young-Jin, and Force Commander Abdul Hafiz went to the PK-18 area of the Abobo neighbourhood of Abidjan, to monitor the security situation there. As you saw in the statement we issued last night, the situation in Abobo has been tense in the last few days.
In the statement, the Secretary-General reiterated that any attacks on United Nations peacekeepers are unacceptable. He assures all Ivorians of the Mission's commitment to protect civilians irrespective of their political affiliation. He calls on all concerned to desist from obstructing the Mission from carrying out its mandated tasks.
Mr. Choi's delegation to Abobo last night was intended to assure the protection of the civilian population who face the risk of human rights violations from forces in Laurent Gbagbo's camp. We also expect a statement this afternoon in response to the events taking place on the ground in Abidjan today.
The week-long independence referendum in South Sudan passed its halfway mark yesterday, with a continued large turnout and without any major incident.
The UN Secretary-General's Panel on the Referenda in the Sudan today continued its monitoring of the Southern Sudan referendum as a fifth day of voting concluded. The panel members visited polling centres and met with referendum authorities and voters in the states of Nile, Upper Nile and Lakes today. Voting is scheduled to finish on Saturday, 15 January.
Said Djinnit, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for West Africa, is in Niamey today.
Djinnit is travelling as part of a joint, tripartite delegation that includes the vice-president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union commissioner for peace and security.
Djinnit's office says that the delegation will express the support of the UN, African Union and ECOWAS [Economic Community of West African States] to the transition process in Niger. They will also assess progress and remaining challenges in the effort to restore constitutional order, including the organization of the elections.
The joint delegation is scheduled to meet the national authorities and institutions, as well as presidential candidates and members of the international community in Niamey.
**Secretary-General Appointment
The Secretary-General has appointed Major General Chao Liu of the People's Republic of China as the Force Commander of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).
Major General Liu succeeds Rear Admiral Mario Sánchez Debernardi of Peru, who completed his assignment on 31 December 2010. We have more information on the Major General in my office.
**Security Council
The Security Council is holding consultations this morning on the work of the UN Regional Centre for Central Asia. The head of the Centre, Miroslav Jenča, briefed the Council on developments in that region.
**Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, the United Nations Country Team is supporting the Government in helping over 1 million people affected by the severe floods caused by torrential rains that have been lashing the country in the last few weeks.
The UN Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator, Neil Buhne, says the UN team is supporting the local authorities to collect information and respond to the growing humanitarian needs. He added that the United Nations will also look at the longer term effects of the damage to agriculture, infrastructure and housing.
In the coming week, the UN will launch an appeal for emergency funds to rally donors to support and expand ongoing national efforts to respond to important needs in flood-affected areas.
The High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres, arrived earlier today in Yemen on a joint mission with the European Union Commissioner for international cooperation, humanitarian aid and crisis response, Kristalina Georgieva.
The two officials will review aid operations for some 300,000 internally displaced civilians in northern Yemen. They will also assess humanitarian challenges caused by the influx of Somalis crossing the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea into Yemen. They are expected to meet with Yemeni officials and press for safer and broader humanitarian access across northern Yemen.
**Press Conference
Tomorrow, as we've told you, the Secretary-General will hold his first press conference for the year in this room at 11:30 a.m. That press conference will take place right after the Secretary-General talks to the Member States at the General Assembly to discuss his priorities for 2011. And as always, given the Secretary-General's press conference, there will be no noon briefing tomorrow.
So I am happy to take questions. Yes, Khaled?
**Questions and Answers
Question: I'd like to follow up on the situation in Lebanon. Any contact by the Secretary-General? What's the UN stand right now on the future, as well, of the court, following the resignation of the Government?
Spokesperson: Well, as you know, we did say very clearly yesterday that the Secretary-General is following developments closely, and that he has appealed for calm and that there should be continued dialogue between all parties and that everyone should respect the Constitution and the law of the country; and, in addition, he has reiterated his full support for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and reiterated its independence in the work that it does.
Question: But practically speaking, right now, if there is anything that the UN or the court wants from the Government in Lebanon, who is it going to deal with?
Spokesperson: As I think you know, there is a caretaker government, and I'm sure that the Tribunal will be able to continue its work in the practical sense that you mentioned. The Secretary-General fully supports the work that the Tribunal is doing. Yes, Nisar?
Question: Has the Secretary-General talked to Mr. Hariri after he lost his office as Prime Minister?
Spokesperson: No, he hasn't spoken to him directly, but of course he is fully briefed on what's happening.
Question: What's happening on the pull-out on the north of al-Ghajar? This was for some time — nobody's talking about it.
Spokesperson: As you know, it was a topic that was discussed just the other day in that tripartite meeting that I think I mentioned yesterday. I don't have anything further on that. Matthew?
Question: Sure, I wanted to ask some questions about Côte d'Ivoire. I understand that you said there would be some statement on things on the ground. I just want to know, in advance of deploring these things, is the UN confirming the burning of its vehicles by supporters of Mr. Gbagbo?
Spokesperson: What I can confirm is that there have been a number of incidents, including the burning of a number of UN vehicles in Abidjan today.
Question: There's a pretty widely circulated — there's been in the French press now, among others — and no one knows if the memo is true or not, so I want to preface it that way. But the buzz is that the Forces Nouvelles intend to break out of the hotel around January 19 to 23, there's a document being circulated that purports to be a kind of a plan for it — it could just be a de-stabilizing document. But I just wanted to know, since the document says that the UN will also get involved — the document seems to indicate that incidents will precipitate action by both forces on that date. Has the UN seen this? Does it deny that it's playing any part in it? And how would it view the Forces Nouvelles coming out of the Golf Hotel?
Spokesperson: I'd need to check on whether the Mission is aware of the document that you mention, and what their take is on it.
Question: One more thing, if you don't mind — it's just a factual one. Maybe you'll answer it or not, but I know that the trucks that were looted were delivering food to the Golf Hotel. It may seem like a strange question to you, but was the food — there are a thousand people or more in the Golf Hotel. Who's paying for all this? Who's paying the hotel bill, is the food UN food? If so, how — I heard a figure of $5 million, maybe that's too high, but — is there some way to know what the actual kind of logistics of this now month-long stay — unplanned stay at the Golf Hotel — who's paying the owner? Is the food from the UN, and is it WFP [World Food Programme] food or some other, more presidential food? I'd just like to get an answer on that.
Spokesperson: Sure. Yes, Massoud? [He later said that the United Nations does not pay the bills at the Golf Hotel. The food is UN food.]
Question: This is on the situation in Tunis, where so many people have now been killed, according to the latest reports, and that the Government is losing control. So has the Secretary-General got to say anything, besides urging for calm?
Spokesperson: Well, as we already said, he is concerned about the escalation of clashes there between the security forces and protesters. Yes, of course, he's calling for restraint. And he urges all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue, and of course he also said earlier this week that all of this needs to take place in the understanding that there should be full respect for the freedom on expression.
Question: Can I just follow up on that? When you say he called upon both sides to practice restraint — I mean, obviously there is one side that's shooting at the people, and a number of civilians have been killed. So what's the other side that you're calling on…
Spokesperson: I didn't say side, I said "urged all parties".
Question: All parties, I'm sorry — all parties. So what is this — there is one party, which is the Tunisian Government or security forces, shooting at demonstrators. So who are the other parties?
Spokesperson: The point here is simply that he's calling for restraint, and that everybody needs to show restraint to help to resolve the differences that there evidently are, and that should be done through dialogue.
Question: Don't you think that there should be a direct appeal to the authorities there, the ones that are doing the shooting, instead of "all parties"? It makes it sound like, as if the other parties are doing something that should call for restraint as well. They are protesting and expressing peaceful…
Spokesperson: The point here is — we've been extremely clear about the need for respect for freedom of expression, in other words, for people to protest peacefully. And you will also have seen that the Human Rights Commissioner has issued a fairly robust statement that addresses this quite clearly, I think. Yes?
Question: Martin, thank you. On Haiti, the figure given from OCHA [Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] on one of their graphs is that there was $9.47 billion in play. My question is, who's making the decisions in the UN family, or in the UN agencies, to disperse the money, and are those — obviously, if OCHA's got control of the money and they're tabulating it, they must have some say — but who actually is giving the go-ahead to send the money to Haiti? Is there any outside — because one of the things here is that from the interim commission projects, $3 billion as of 31 December. Who's okaying that; is it the World Bank? Is it UNDP [United Nations Development Programme]? I'm having a very hard time in navigating all those websites, finding out specifically who in the UN agencies are saying what goes where, how those decisions are being made — can you help me with that?
Spokesperson: I will certainly try to. I won't be able to right here, but I will certainly try to help you with that. As Mr. [Nigel] Fisher said when he did the briefing earlier this week, it is quite complicated to navigate those numbers, and it's a very valid point that you're raising: how is the money dispersed? And I would ask my colleagues in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and elsewhere to help you navigate . Yes, Mr. Abbadi, and then Tim.
Question: I have a question on Southern Sudan's independence, which is likely. There are indications that the issue of distribution of Nile water will be a major controversy. Is the United Nations doing anything in terms of preventive action?
Spokesperson: Well, as you know, the referendum itself is under way — we're at the halfway point, and that is a very important moment — this referendum itself. But important as well, equally important, is what happens next — whatever the outcome is. And I don't want to prejudge what that outcome might be, but either way, there will be challenges that need to be addressed — of all kinds. Yes, Tim?
Question: The Secretary-General met Mr. [Bernard] Kouchner this morning; I wonder if you had any detail on that? And is Mr. [ Edmond] Mulet expected to leave his post in Haiti very soon?
Spokesperson: On the meeting with Mr. Kouchner — it was a courtesy call. As you know, he's a former French Foreign Minister, he knows the Secretary-General well, they've worked together, obviously, in the past — this was a courtesy call. And on Mr. Mulet, I will check. To my knowledge, I'm not aware of any changes in the offing. Yes?
[He later added that the Secretary-General and Mr. Kouchner discussed Sudan, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire and Haiti.]
Question: Martin, I may be entirely wrong, although Chinese contingents have been part of UN peacekeeping forces; but is it the first time that a Chinese general is heading a UN peacekeeping force?
Spokesperson: I will need to check on that. I hear what you're saying, and a similar thought crossed my mind, but before I pronounce categorically, I'd like to check. Yes, Thomas?
[He later said that other Chinese generals have headed other UN peacekeeping forces, including MINURSO [United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara] in Western Sahara.]
Question: On the presidential election in Belarus, the candidates, human rights activists and journalists are still in prison. Is the UN concerned by these violations of human rights in Belarus? And also, the opposition in Belarus is asking right now — the European Union sanctions against the Belarus Government. What do you think about this item?
Spokesperson: On the second part, I don't really have anything to say. But as you know, we did already mention that the Secretary-General is following developments in Belarus and has been doing so since the presidential election. And he's concerned, indeed, about the continued detention of journalists, opposition candidates and their supporters, and he's calling for their release and also for the full observance of human rights and due process. And he's also noted the serious concerns voiced by observer groups regarding the electoral process and also post-electoral developments. Yes, Nisar?
Question: Can you update us on the deployment of additional forces in Abyei in the Sudan?
Spokesperson: This — I think, as we've said — this is something that the UN Mission in Sudan keeps under review and would undertake if it felt it was necessary. I don't have any information that they have done that. What they have done is stepped up their patrolling, but not with an increase in the number of peacekeepers at this point.
Question: On the news in Abyei, we always receive updates saying that "oil-rich area", or "oil-rich region" — recently in the briefing we were informed that Abyei is not oil-rich, and the oil is not in the disputed area between the parties. But, however, still your statement and updates come with information that Abyei is oil-rich. Is there any particular reason for that?
Spokesperson: Not from me, that I recall.
Question: No, but from the UN News…
Spokesperson: Certainly not from me, that I recall, Nisar. Yes, Matthew, and then Talal?
Question: Just about Sudan, and then two questions about deadlines. On the Sudan, can you — this kidnapping of humanitarian workers, Bulgarian pilots of the UN in Darfur. What's the — what's being done about it, and I guess I was expecting you to say it at the beginning. It's widely now known.
Spokesperson: What did you expect me to say?
Question: I guess that three UN-contracted humanitarian workers have been kidnapped in Darfur, and they should be returned, and the Government should do all it can — if the tribes that did it are associated with them.
Spokesperson: So what's the question?
Question: I guess my question is, I'm just saying as an aside, I wonder — what's the standard? If UN personnel are taken hostage, isn't it usually said from here?
Spokesperson: Well, you've asked me, and I can tell you.
Question: Okay, so what's the status?
Spokesperson: That we can confirm. But you've pretty much — it's almost as though you wrote it, Matthew. We can confirm that three helicopter crew members working for the United Nations humanitarian air service, managed by the World Food Programme, have been abducted by armed men in Sudan. The incident happened at 10:35 local time on Thursday — that's today — at a landing strip at Um Shalaya, 60 kilometres south-east of El Geneina in West Darfur.
Question: Since this has been — it's happened many times — it's always said that nothing will be said while they're being held, but once they're released something will be said. In the case, for example, of the peacekeeper that was taken in El-Fasher and was returned, did the UN conclude that these were Government-affiliated kidnappers? Rebel-affiliated? What conclusion have they reached? It seems to happen all the time.
Spokesperson: The point is that Istvan Papp, the Hungarian civilian working in the Mission, was released. And as you know, he was held for 90-something days. That's the most important point here, is that he was released. I don't have anything further on who abducted him and why, but simply — the local authorities, the [UN] Mission and the Department for Safety and Security worked extremely hard to secure his release.
Question: There's just always this — the reason I asked you about announcing, is that — that definitely is an indicator of kind of lack of stability and of a problem. It seems like — maybe you think it's a strange question. Because normally the UN speaks about if a staff member is injured or taken hostage — it just strikes me — to some, it seems strange not to say it, if it happens in Darfur. Is it a big deal, or…
Spokesperson: But I've said it, Matthew. I'm not quite sure what the point is there. Yes, Talal?
Question: I have a couple of questions on Tunisia. The Arab Press is rife with reports that the United Nations is asking for an investigation into the events in Tunisia. Is there any truth to that? Because I don't have anything official.
Spokesperson: I think you should take a look at the statement issued by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay.
Question: Is she asking for…
Spokesperson: Take a close look at that. It's quite detailed in that respect.
Question: The other question I had is about the Foreign Minister. There's also reports now that he has resigned. I tried to reach — his name is Kamel Morjane — I tried to reach the mission about four or five times today, but they keep putting the phone down in our faces, saying that they have nothing to add. So I thought maybe I'd come to the UN; do you have any news about his resignation?
Spokesperson: I haven't. I haven't. No, I haven't got anything on that. If I had, I would be happy to share it with you, but I don't. Yes, Iftikhar, yes?
Question: Martin, this is regarding the demolition of hotel in East Jerusalem. I'm sure you've seen Mr. [Benjamin] Netanyahu's statement defending the action, and saying that Israeli law permits its citizens to buy private property. But, at the same time, you know that there are UN Security Council resolutions on the status of Jerusalem. In the view of the United Nations, which law prevails, the international law or the Israeli law?
Spokesperson: The Secretary-General made a statement on this, and was very clear about it, including the need to respect international law, and I don't have anything to add to that. Tim?
Question: There is, in some cases, it is declared in the resolution that in case of a dispute, this particular law will prevail.
Spokesperson: Take a look at what the statement says. I think it's quite clear. Tim?
Question: A growing number of Missions have been coming forward saying that they're having problems with the banks, and I know you've mentioned it in the past, but is the Secretary-General getting involved now with this?
Spokesperson: He's aware of this, as I've mentioned to you already. And the United Nations is aware of this. As I think you know, I've mentioned that this is a matter for the Member States to take up with the host country, and they have been doing that. And I don't think you're in any doubt about that, either. And I would urge you to speak to the United States Mission about what they may or may not be doing to help in this regard.
Question: Follow up? Since the bank that wrote to the Missions is J.P. Morgan Chase, and they previously were in the Secretariat building with a branch — and are still in the base of the DC-1 — I wondered, with the Capital Master Plan, number one, are they still coming back into the building? And is this — since this is one thing that the Secretariat can, in fact, control — and many of the Missions opened it up with Chase simply because they were in the building — would the Secretariat allow Chase Manhattan to return after the Capital Master Plan, even as it's rebuffing Missions that own the United Nations?
Spokesperson: Well, this is putting the cart before the horse. I think if you want to know what Chase Manhattan's intentions are with regard to the UN building and having a presence here, you should ask them.
Question: But if they want to be, would the UN accept them?
Spokesperson: I'm not going to answer a hypothetical question.
Question: But if they do want to…
Spokesperson: If it starts with "if", that's a hypothetical question. So why not check first with the bank? If they say, hypothetically, if they say that they want to come back, then come back and ask me the question then.
Question: But that's one thing that the Secretary-General — or I guess the Secretariat — has power over, in terms of this one bank. They could just say, "we don't know yet," and then…
Spokesperson: Well, then we wait, Matthew. Yes, Mr. Abbadi?
Question: One question, because I did ask the bank. And they told me they are already in talks with the UN to go back, but not to the same floor — fourth floor, to go to different floor with American Express and the Federal Bank. So they do have intentions, they are talking — now we come back to the same question of, what does the UN say about that?
Spokesperson: Well, if there are discussions going on, as you mention, then there are discussions going on. And I wouldn't be able to comment on that until those discussions are finished.
Question: But what does the United Nations think of their pulling their services from the Missions, that justify, really, their existence within this building?
Spokesperson: Look, this is a matter for the bank, and if there are discussions going on, I am not going to comment on this while those discussions are going on.
Question: But can you just find out if this will be an issue in the discussions? Do you see what I mean? Just factually…
Spokesperson: I'm happy to do that. But as I say, I'm not going to get in the way of discussions that are going on.
Question: There are discussions being held in the UN today, in the North Lawn building with 150 Missions, and the Undersecretary for Management from the State Department are talking to them about alternatives to what happened with Chase Bank. So the UN is already hosting talks concerning — they must have a position on that.
Spokesperson: No, I don't think that that's necessarily the case, Talal. There are many meetings that go on inside the UN in various buildings; it doesn't mean that the UN is taking a position on a meeting that's being hosted by a Member State.
Question: I understand, but this Mission works at the UN. Without the Missions we don't have a UN — without the Member States.
Spokesperson: I'm sure that they're taking that up quite clearly with Undersecretary [Patrick] Kennedy, for Management. Yeah. Mr. Abbadi?
Question: On Western Sahara, another round of discussion will take place this month between 21 and 22 January. Has the Secretary-General talked recently to the Personal Envoy, Ambassador Christopher Ross? Has he planned to see him? And is he confident that there will be some progress this time?
Spokesperson: I'll have to check on whether he's planning to speak to Mr. Ross in the near future, and then I can come back to you. Yes, Nisar?
Question: Apparently UNDP is advising the Finance Minister of Lebanon on its finances. There are advisers who are fully employed there. Do they have any indication why $11 billion disappeared from the finances of Lebanon, and are they aware about it? If they are aware, what have they done to make that clear? Can we get an answer, not necessarily today?
Spokesperson: I would ask you to have a word with UNDP. I'm sure that they'll help you. Yes, Matthew?
Question: Hopefully these will – these are the two deadline questions. There are two deadlines that occur on the 15th, and since there's no noon briefing tomorrow, I just wanted to ask — one is Nepal, and the pullout of the UNMIN [United Nations Mission in Nepal] mission. There had been some discussion of leaving behind the monitoring equipment — either on a loan basis, or — what's going to actually happen with the equipment on the 15th, given that that's the deadline and there's no — and the other one has to do with the Sri Lanka panel, and it was said that the four months, its work term, expires on 15 January. Is that report going to be turned in on that date? Has there been any — you know, on the Secretary-General's statement of 17 December, that the panel was going to go to Sri Lanka?
Spokesperson: I'll check on both of them for you, Matthew. Okay, thank you very much and have a good afternoon.
[He later added that the Sri Lanka panel has been granted an extension until the end of February.]

As a parent you often wonder if all of your nagging is in vain - do your kids really listen when you tell them to not talk with a mouthful of food, to take their shoes off in the porch or to tidy their room? Sometimes however you get a glimpse that some of it is sinking in. I went upstairs yesterday and found this taped to Amy's door
Apparently to enter her room you now have to join a club but only if you're a girl or Daddy - no boys 'aloud'! And there are 'ruls' by which you must abide:
1. no pushing
2. no calling people names
3. no punching
4. have fun
5. no waking Amy up in the night
Meetings: sunday afternoon till evning.
Bless her!
Thanks so much for the continuing good wishes for my Mum. She is making good progress and has started physiotherapy. She's been able to get up and begin learning to walk with the Halo brace and we're hoping that she'll be able to come out of hospital later this week.
Thanks too for all of the wonderful, generous bids on Rose bunny and to everyone who dropped by Rose's website and made a donation of their own. Rose's family are touched by your kindness and are extremely grateful and I am too!

Me and my family had a quick pick up along shangrila thats why I decided to have our lunch at Kapitolyo, because I know theres a lot of food stuffs there..But for now I am not thinking about myself muna because my mother-in-law likes Pinoy foods thats why I just chose to have our lunch at Quibiertos. This Homey Restaurant is conveniently located along East Capitol Drive... And it serves traditional filipino cuisine and grilled food. They have a wide selection of filipino dishes and the favorites are marked so that first timers may try them out and the good thing is that it's open until late.
Clap clap clap to me because they loved the food that I chose .. 🏻🏻🏻🏻
Boneless Cebu Lechon (1/2kg) - 360Php 🏻
Chicharon Bulaklak - 185Php🏻
Beef Kare-Kare - 295Php🏻
Sinigang Tiger Sugpo - 298Php🏻
Unli Rice - 35Php
They also have platters and boddle-licious promo..Good for family bond. Place are homey, with Good AC and has a parking space and an attendant who helps out. sockets and wifi for your gadgets are available too!!! The furnishings and feel of the place is somewhat native filipino. Food items are very affordable and maybe shared by two or even three persons.

Affordable boneless Cebu lechon by the kilo! Juicy, well seasoned, and crispy balat, what more can you ask for? Unli-rice? Sure! And just for P30
Sulit sarap, but I just wished they didn't sacrifice the quality of the rice for the unlimited offer. It was kind of dry and not hot anymore. and they ran out of mangoes for my mango shake.

Had dinner here the other day as I was looking for Filipino food and found this on |ooloo.
Ordered Binagoongang Bagnet, Spicy Baby Pusit and Sinampalukang Manok.
Didn't like the Binagoongan. It's sweet and the Bagnet is not Bagnet at all. It's just fried pork belly.
The Spicy Baby Pusit is ok. Although it's not spicy at all.
I liked the Sinampalukang Manok. The taste is just right. Not too sour.
I'd like to try their other dishes next time. For now, it's only 3 stars.

Visited this place after a brief for a new project with an FMCG company. We were all starving because the brief was scheduled during lunch. Nope. No food was provided
Every Sunday, we pass by this new place which is always packed. Its parking slots are filled up almost every hour of the day. So we decided to have lunch here to feed our curiosity and also because it was the perfect time to take advantage of the non peak hours of operation where one would expect the service to be more efficient and the food to be at its best state.
We ordered one dish of a heart attack per category.
Appetizer: Chicharon Bulaklak
This was served quickly and fresh from the deep fryer which is the way all Chicharon should be served. Crispy "outside". Soft and deadly inside.
Merienda: Pork BBQ
This one was sweet and the sauce that it's basted in is superb! A bit sweeter that your typical BBQ sauce but so good that it can be used to marinate your beef in before grilling (or maybe you can even put some more after grilling your meat). This is a must try!
Rice: Qubiertos rice (scrambled egg shreds, bagoong?, and other secret stuff)
Meh. Pretty basic. Looks more flavorful than it is. HOWEVER, this place offers UNLIMITED RICE for 50 pesos or less (depending on what flavor you choose your FIRST bowl to be). The succeeding cups of rice will be plain but still so totally worth it for rice people. This is probably one of their best selling points.
Entree: Crispy Boneless Lechon
This tasted old. Which made me a bit sad. It was good but it could've been better. They didn't even bother to heat it up and to make the skin crispy. Anyway, imagine, an old tasting lechon still deserved 4 stars. What more if they give you a well cooked platter of it? Right?!
I just realized that all of our orders were pork. I wonder what my non-pork eating friends think of me now Anyway, I still recommend the place because they offer your typical pinoy "sports bar" so it's cerrtainly a good place for hanging out with friends. Plus! They have parking spaces for their customers which is very scarce in Kapitolyo. Haha!
They have several branches and this is not their first branch. Just stating a fact here. Hehe |
This is my first review using my android phone hehe! Finally made the switch because my favorite iPhone 5c (from Looloo) was giving up on me already due to the heavy inflow of emails and attachments that come with it. I will now pass it on to my brother or sister. And will convince them to become a certified Looloo-er ||| wooooo

By Mike Nelson, Special to The Star
Since 1972, color television sets have annually outsold black-and-white sets in the United States. That means more than half the current U.S. population — those in their early 40s or younger — have known color television as the norm.
For David and Sheryl Chrenko, the owners of American Colorizing in Ventura, it means there is a market for the colorization of vintage black-and-white photos that can provide a deeper, more meaningful connection to history.
"What we offer is a complement to black-and-white," said David Chrenko, the "colorist" who has combined his passions for history and art through American Colorizing.
"I love black-and-white, and I don't want to get rid of it," he continued with a smile. "But we don't live in a black-and-white world. When you add color, you see details in a photo — the time on a clock, for example, or the writing on a sign — that in black-and-white you would probably not even notice, or be able to see clearly. And the people in the photos no longer are ghosts from yesterday; they're people who could be alive today, because they look more real."
Established on December 1, 2001, American Colorizing over the past decade has engaged in projects for museums, websites, television documentaries and private individuals.
The company recently launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to support colorization projects at underfunded museums. Although initial response to the monthlong effort (which concluded March 16) fell short of its $5,000 goal, the Chrenkos believe the campaign ultimately will bring a greater awareness to the benefits of colorization.
"When we colorize these historical photos, it really brings history to life," said Sheryl Chrenko, who oversees marketing. "People look at the photos and say, 'I could be in that picture. Those are people I can relate to.' " ART BACKGROUND
That was one purpose of "Blood and Glory: The Civil War in Color," History Channel's miniseries that aired in 2015. American Colorization was part of the team that colorized 500 photos from the era. Each, said David Chrenko, took "hours of work," including extensive research that, as a history buff growing up in New Jersey, "was right up my alley."
A Southern California resident since 1974, he studied art and worked in graphic design (at Bomp Magazine and the Bomp music label, which helped promote punk, garage and new wave rock), in radio advertising and production, and for Boeing Aircraft.
After he married Sheryl, a Ventura native, in 2000, his career took a life-changing turn in 2001 when friends asked the Chrenkos to housesit, and invited them to explore their home computer's new colorizing program.
"I basically taught myself how to colorize," David Chrenko said.
Having once imagined what old black-and-white family photos would look like in color and armed with his new "toy" and passion, he began colorizing photos for friends, featured them on a "bare-bones" website, and "eventually we were noticed. By 2011, our site was No. 1 on Google for colorizing photos."
One project led to another. In 2012, the Chrenkos created colorized photos for Ancestry.com's "Wall of Heroes" photo sweepstakes. A year later, they were commissioned by the Royal Alberta Museum in Canada to colorize photos for its yearlong exhibit on Chinese restaurants in western Canada.
"They told us their foot traffic increased 68 percent the first week after people saw our work," David Chrenko said.
Now, with "Blood and Glory" on their resume, as well, the Chrenkos are marketing their services to museums, documentary producers and prospective clients such as cities and organizations planning commemorative celebrations.
"That's why we tried the Kickstarter campaign to support museums," David Chrenko said. "Most museums are underfunded and have to make hard choices on where to spend their limited resources. Not all of them may want colorized photos, but many do, or are intrigued by the idea, and we'd like to make it easier for them."
The Kickstarter campaign was promoted through social media.
"It's a step in the process toward tapping into the interest in this area which we know exists." Sheryl Chrenko added. GETTING IT RIGHT
The biggest challenge of the colorizing process, David Chrenko said, is "making the color real, even though you figure that the colors of sky, grass, clouds haven't changed too much over the years. But when you have a photo with a lot of buildings, or a lot of faces, getting the tones right isn't easy."
Added his wife: "But Dave really researches the era he's working on. He'll look up advertisements from that era, newspaper articles, books to get information on color, so he can capture it accurately."
And it can take hours to find exactly the right hue.
"I am very detail-oriented and I love to research," David Chrenko said. "We did a colorizing project with black-and-white photos of postwar Berlin, with brick buildings damaged by bombs and fire. It makes you think, 'How does brick look when it's been burned?' You have to research."
And pay attention. In colorizing a Civil War-era photo of President Abraham Lincoln meeting outside with Gen. George McClellan, he made the tree leaves green, before realizing the photo was taken in November.
"So I made the change to fall colors," he said with a smile. "It's part of the process."
Nor does he profess 100 percent accuracy with each photo.
"My main object," he said, "is to make the photo more real for people to see, to provoke an emotional as well as aesthetic response."
In the process, he hopes to "make history cool" for everyone, especially youths who aren't as enthralled as he about the past.
"Kids who have to study history appreciate it more when they relate to people in the photographs they see, especially when those photos are in color, something they know," David Chrenko said. "If we can connect people to history through our work, we've done our job."

A couple of months ago Apple's share price took a dive when analysts started getting nervous about whether US carriers would continue to subsidise the iPhone. Now analysts are claiming that any ceasing of, or changes to the subsidies paid by mobile networks, will not have a negative effect on Apple, in fact, according to one analyst it may help the company.
Jefferies & Co analyst Peter Misek suggests that the networks in the US will focus subsidies on the "high-end" smartphones such as the LTE 4G iPhone 5, pushing those sales over Android sales. He predicts that the subsidisation of smartphones offering "long-term evolution" technology means "iPhone prices to the consumer could be lower than prices for mid-range Android devices and other handsets."
He told investors: "The iPhone 5 will be LTE-enabled and that the subsidy reallocation will likely help rather than hurt Apple," notes Barrons.
One way that carriers recover some of the cost of their subsidiaries is by tying customers it longer contracts. It is estimates that the average selling price for an iPhone is about $660. Of the $660 carriers pay Apple for an iPhone, about $200 is being picked up by the customer directly. That leaves about $440 to be made up by the carrier over the length of a contract, explains a Digital Trends report.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, wrote that AT&T is likely to tie in iPhone 5 customers into longer contracts than it has previously, but he doesn't think this will have a measurable impact on sales of the new iPhone.
Munster wrote: "The bottom line is we expect both AT&T and Verizon's (~12% of Apple's revenue) upgrade threshold to be 20 months for the iPhone 5 release (October), with some potential AT&T exceptions for highly valued customers to get an upgrade after 18 months."
Munster noted previous upgrade thresholds at AT&T have been 11 months, 12 months, and 18 months. Verizon offered 20-month contracts from the 4S launch.
Munster wrote: "While this threshold is slightly less generous than past upgrades, due to the high level of expected interest in the iPhone 5, we don't believe less favourable upgrade windows will have a measurable impact on demand and we remain comfortable with our 49 m unit estimate (up 32% y/y) for the Dec-12 quarter."
Back in April, an analyst claimed mobile networks will stop subsidising iPhones. BITG Research analyst Walter Piecyk claims that operators have been highly subsidising handsets in order to offer generous upgrade policies. Piecyk suggests that this costly exercise that will not continue.
T-Mobile's Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman claimed earlier this year that if he would like to eliminate carrier subsidies of devices. Brodman complained that subsidies devalue the technology and create a "disposal marketplace" with people throwing away "pretty amazing products" after two years. Digital Trends noted that T-Mobile is the only major US mobile carrier that does not offer the iPhone.

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (PlayStation) review
"There was a time when Spyro games were good. Out of absolutely pure coincidence, this was the same time when Spyro was made by Insomniac, who since moved on to Ratchet and Clank. The original Spyro the Dragon was the start of what would become a hallmark franchise of the PSone platform genre, stripping 3D platforming to its fundamentals and demonstrated how they should be made. A small, cute purple dragon but with an attitude, and, um, fiery breath, how could anyone hate wee Spyro?..."

Sir, you write "True, banks' capital buffers are more ample than they were five years ago", "EU bank regulators need to do more to foster faith", August 1.
More ample? That is just if you believe the regulators' risk weights are correct… something which was evidenced in 2007-08 they were not.
Because, if you read EBA's stress result, you should have read that "the aggregate leverage ratio decreases from 5.2% to 4.2% in the adverse scenario".
And in terms of real leverage that means that in their "adverse scenario" the bank leverage of equity increased from 19.2 to 23.8 to 1… and that's just the average!... Which means the real capital buffers, those of real unadulterated life, are just smaller.

Miss Kirkbride: Tobacco consumption is going up.
Mr. Milburn: The hon. Member for Bromsgrove (Miss Kirkbride) says, from a sedentary position, that tobacco consumption rates are rising. I am afraid that that is the factual inaccuracy peddled by the hon. Member for Woodspring in our debate on Monday. Although consumption rates were certainly rising for smokers overall right up to the point when the previous Government left office, the latest figures suggest that tobacco consumption is now falling. I believe that the measures that we have taken and that we plan to take--most notably the banning of tobacco advertising--will help protect the people who are most vulnerable to the dangers of smoking in the future. Those are young people, children and teenagers.
Underpinning all of our efforts to improve public health is the Government's commitment to address the causes of poverty that condemn so many to poorer health and shorter lives. This debate is about the public health agenda. The greatest public health challenges facing our country will never be addressed unless we deal with their fundamental causes--poverty of income and aspiration, lack of educational attainment and employment, and discrimination and social exclusion.
When we came to office, one child in five lived in a household where no one worked. Three million working-age people were out of work and had been dependent on benefits for two years or more. Four million children were living in poverty in 1995--three times the number 20 years before.
The health gap had widened too. In the late 1970s, death rates were over 53 per cent. higher among men in social classes 4 and 5 than among men in social classes 1 and 2. By the late 1980s, the health inequality gap had widened to 68 per cent. [Interruption.] The hon. Member for Bromsgrove thinks that that is something to smirk about--
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Alan Haselhurst): Order. We cannot have a running conversation from a sedentary position.
Mr. Milburn: We all know the Conservative position on issues of poverty and inequality. The hon. Member for Woodspring summed it up when he said:
That is the path to better public health, and we are making progress along it.
Mr. Nick Harvey (North Devon): I welcome this opportunity to debate important issues of public health. Taken together, they constitute an agenda that should be the starting point for health debates in the House more often than is generally the case.
Although public health in Britain has improved over a long period of time, there is still a great deal to be worried about. Britain has the highest number of underweight babies in Europe. According to Government figures, there are 1 million children living below the poverty line who do not qualify for free school meals. Fuel poverty is still a problem too. According to latest figures from the National Energy Association, 8 million households cannot pay for the warmth that they need. Finally, the UK has the highest teenage pregnancy and birth rates in western Europe.
I welcome the NHS plan's attempt to address public health, and particularly the fact that there is to be more screening, although I believe that that needs to go even further and that more resources should be made available for capital expenditure in new technology. I also welcome the work of primary care groups and primary care trusts in identifying and registering those who are at greatest risk of ill health, and also the setting of national health inequalities targets.
It bears repeating that the state of public health depends on much more than just the state of the national health service. Much public policy in other Departments has a significant impact on public health outcomes. Equally, however, Britain's record on public health cannot be divorced from the state of the national health service. Many of our health problems stem from under-investment over a long period of time.
Many avoidable health problems have been exacerbated by a lack of nurses, and the lack of a co-ordinated public health programme that could have prevented many of the problems that the NHS has struggled to deal with. It is worth remembering that the number of nurses recruited fell from 37,000 in 1983 to 6,000 in 1995.
Other factors over the period also give cause for concern. In 1979, there were free sight tests, but people now pay £17 or £18 for the tests. Dental charges have risen 400 per cent. since 1979. Both those changes present significant barriers to health for those most in need of it--the poor. However, the charges make little significant contribution to the Exchequer.
As I say, many other factors beyond the immediate issues of the health service make an impact on public health. For example, the doubling in the crime rate, the disastrous public transport privatisations and deregulations, and the refusal--until this week--to implement a tobacco advertising ban were all significant public health failures of the past 20 years. It is only by addressing such background issues that we will bring about a significant improvement in levels and standards of public health.
I noted earlier that Britain has the highest rate of underweight babies in Europe, at 7 per cent. Lord Patel, a gynaecologist, says that he has
The Government should commission research into what constitutes a healthy income. Historically, rates have been based on political expediency, rather than on scientific principle.
Another concern has to do with school nurses, and the availability and quality of school health education programmes. We need at least another 500 school nurses, as teachers cannot be expected to provide health care as well as education. Dedicated expertise is required to meet the needs of the school-age population. In addition to the other postcode lotteries, we have a postcode lottery of health education. There must be a radical shake-up of the system, with better partnerships between the NHS, social services and local education authorities to ensure total availability to schools and their pupils of nurses and health visitors.
Liberal Democrats want there to be a statutory right for every child to have access to an independent health professional. We also want every school to have a named health professional provided through the local primary care group or primary care trust. In due course, we should like to see the creation of a national service framework on school health, with benchmarks and targets for improvement.
According to the Government's own figures, there are 1 million children living below the poverty line who do not qualify for free school meals. That is a cause for alarm, and it must constitute a priority for action. We support the Government's free fruit scheme for four to six-year-olds, but we hope that there will be scope to expand it to include older children. Malnutrition is a significant factor in health inequalities. Good eating habits and health education, supported at school, are vital.
Health inequalities must surely be one of the greatest concerns to all those with a sincere interest in public health. In the United Kingdom, people are twice as likely to die early in the poorest areas as in the richest, according to the UK Public Health Association.
Dentistry charges also promote inequalities. Access to NHS dentists is declining in many areas, as dentists drop out and move to private provision only. We believe that there is a need to do everything possible to bring more dentists back for at least part of their time into the NHS, to protect the poorest from ill health.
We also think that more help is needed in particular areas on the issue of water fluoridation, particularly in the light of York university's findings on its benefits.
Dr. Fox: Would the hon. Gentleman go all the way with that view? Is it his party's policy to recommend fluoridation throughout the United Kingdom?
Mr. Harvey: We think that fluoridation should be available and that it should be a matter for local decision. There are great natural differences in the water in different parts of the country. That provides a logic for there being local decisions. Local authorities should have a greater responsibility for public health and should be the bodies to take responsibility for it, if need be by taking account, through a referendum or by other means, of the wishes of the local population. We certainly believe that fluoridation should be available as an option in all areas throughout the country.
It is also very important for eye check-up charges to be abolished. There is no greater impediment to making any improvement in public health than charging people for basic, routine tests which should be provided free as a matter of course.
I mentioned that fuel poverty is still a real problem. According to the latest figures, 8 million households cannot afford to pay for the warmth that they need. One in five lone parents reports damp affecting his or her children's health, and 22 per cent. of lone parents have no central heating. These are important factors determining health outcomes.
In 1998 there were far more extra deaths due to temperature drops in Britain than in the rest of Europe. In the UK, there was a 31 per cent. increase in deaths in the winter compared with the rest of the year, whereas the figure was only 14 per cent. in Sweden, 10 per cent. in Norway and 12 per cent. in Germany, according to House of Commons Library figures. Those are serious factors that have a real impact on health outcomes. Ending fuel poverty would mean fewer visits to GPs, fewer hospital admissions and fewer prescriptions.
The UK has the highest teenage pregnancy and birth rates in western Europe, with birth rates twice those in Germany, three times those in France and six times those in the Netherlands. The Government aim to halve those rates by 2010. That could be viewed as unambitious, but without proper co-ordination, and particularly the involvement of authorities on the ground at community level, I think that they will struggle even to meet those targets.
Evidence shows that some groups of young women are more likely than others to become pregnant: women from large families, those in lower socio-economic groups, those in families headed by lone parents and those with low levels of academic achievement. Resources, therefore, obviously need to be targeted and channelled effectively.
Some areas have rates of teenage pregnancies five times higher than those in other, more affluent areas. There is specifically a comparison between the Southwark area and the Chilterns. These figures are sometimes compiled by local authority ward, and there was a point in the mid-1990s when a local authority ward in my constituency--this may strike people as improbable and
The burden of sex education should not always fall on teachers, some of whom will not be best qualified to give advice on these subjects. The Secretary of State mentioned that he hoped very much to bring out his sexual health strategy within the next couple of months. I welcome that, although it must be said that it seems to have had an extraordinarily long gestation period. I hope very much that when it comes it will tackle the issues involved head on. [Hon. Members: "It may be an elephant."] The gestation period might imply that, but I hope that it will be rather more nimble and fleet of foot and will not kowtow to those in certain elements of the tabloid media who seem able to whip themselves up into a state of frenzy about the very things that are most needed to tackle some of these complex issues. Those countries that take a more progressive approach to these matters seem to have the best outcomes. I hope very much, therefore, that the target audience will not be the editorial writers on some of the newspapers to which I have referred.

USC Remains Strong With Williams
WR Eric Williams (5-11 185) of Bradenton, FL says that USC is in his top five. He was not able to make the game this past weekend but did watch on television. Williams liked what he saw from the receiving corps.
"At first I didn't know he (Kenny McKinley) wasn't playing and I kept looking for him. It was really big of the other guys to step up."
Williams says he likes USC because they have so much talent on both sides of the ball. "I think they are as talented as anyone. They just need to mature and eliminate mistakes." Williams likes the coaching staff as well. "They have a lot of great coaches like David Gillespie. They are all being mentored by (Steve) Spurrier and that's someone great to learn from."
Williams plans to take an official visit to USC sometime after the season ends. He also will visit Ole Miss and Purdue. He wants to focus on his senior season right now. In two games, he has two catches for 50 yards and one touchdown. David Reaves is his USC recruiter. Williams runs a 4.4 40.

FACTS has a great customer service department you can call to help you with any requests or issues. The FACTS customer service number is (866)441-4637. You may find this number, as well as additional help, on your FACTS account website by logging into FACTS through ParentsWeb/RenWeb.
Dear St. Mary's Parents/Guardians,
"TEACH ME, LORD, YOUR WAY!" Welcome to the 2018-19 school year and to all the exciting truths that God has in store for our students!
We are so pleased you have chosen St. Mary's Catholic School, and look forward to being your partners in educating your student in wisdom and virtue with a deep centering on Christ. We pray your family's time at SMCS will be rewarding and fruitful as we dedicate ourselves to the faith, academic, and service formation of your child.
Brand new playground equipment, refinished floors, and fresh paint are exciting improvements for St. Mary's school this summer, but the biggest restorations going on at the school these days are much deeper and more enriching to our community's students.
With over 121 years of strong educational tradition on which to build, St. Mary's teachers and staff have recently begun an inspiring renewal of their instructional methodologies. As the oldest private school in the county, St. Mary's was founded by the Dominican sisters in 1896 and began educating with methods of the classical Catholic tradition -- deep analytical thinking, well-rounded in the fine arts, music, and physical education, well-read in the great books of the western civilization, and the development of moral character and service to others.

While in Elmira, I FINALLY found:
I admire everything about this thrift store. Try to picture everything you imagine about the Old Order Mennonite way of life - and apply it to everything you know about thrift stores. Neat as a pin, organized into categories, visible signage, large coloured price tags, appropriately priced, quiet. When I walked in, a sign indicated that all red and orange tagged items were half price. It seems that this building may have been a restaurant at one time - because there were a number of "rooms". When I got to the books - which I thought were a smidge more than I like to pay for second hand books - I happily saw a bin with a sign clearly stating that books with green tags were 50 cents. Perfect! Magazines for a quarter. Yes! I also bought some plates, brand new with the original price tag still attached - $1 each.
I didn't think I'd find any quilting treasures, since the Mennonites of Waterloo County are famous for their quilts - but look what I did spy:
Heading home, I realized that I was just a stone's throw from St. Jacobs - so I stopped in at Reichard's. I was surprised to see that they are closing!
All fabric from the bolt with a .5m min cut 35% off
All panels and pre-cut fat quarters are 35% off
All books, patterns and notions 15% off
Store Samples 25-40% off
All store fixtures are for sale.
I did buy a little fabric. The selection was still very good - so I would recommend to any bargain hunters who have a quilt project in mind, or perhaps need to purchase backing fabric - make the trip.

We offer two methods of concrete delivery: batches ready mixed at our plant and delivered ready to use (also known as 'barrel mixed'), and onsite concrete mixing using our fleet of modern volumetric trucks that can produce mixes to exact and changing specifications on-the-fly.
Both systems have their advantages. For example, barrel mixed is ideal for smaller domestic projects, such as laying a patio or driveway, where space is limited for the use of onsite mixing trucks and budget must be a consideration.
Volumetric concrete mixing has changed the way the industry works, offering a number of advantages over barrel mixed and drum mixed options, providing economic and practical benefits to both commercial and domestic customers.
- Concrete can be mixed on-site, with no risk of over ordering
- The individual ingredients that make up the concrete mix are stored in separate compartments, allowing the mix to be tailored to on-site requirements or altered due to changing weather conditions
- Only what's needed is mixed, meaning no waste of materials
- Volumetric mixers can store up to 10m3 – almost double the amount of traditional drum mixers
- No money is wasted, only the amount required is paid for
- Drum mixed concrete has a limited time frame for use between mixing at the plant and arriving at your site – volumetric mixing eradicates this problem
EasyMix Concrete Ltd operate a modern fleet of volumetric mixing trucks, meaning we can deliver concrete on-tap anytime, anyplace and of any mix combination, with a prompt and reliable service that's always on time.
So never over order again – call EasyMix Concrete Ltd today for more information – 0800 859 5954.
