BACKGROUND: Little is understood about the lives of street children in Khartoum, Sudan, particularly as relates to sexual health and risk behaviour. METHODS: 13 adult researchers and 11 child researchers interviewed more than 500 street children in qualitative interviews, and 2,200 street children in a quantitative survey. Participant observation, role-plays and drawing were also used. RESULTS: An estimated 6,000 children live on the streets full-time, 10% of whom are girls.
Children reported living on the streets because of "push" factors such as poverty, war, or abuse, and "pull" factors such as following friends or desiring drugs. 14% of girls and 1% of boys identified sexual abuse as their greatest challenge on the streets. However, qualitative research suggests that the majority of girls routinely experience rape, while many boys are occasionally raped. To protect themselves, girls may take boyfriends, while boys may become aggressive. Boys may engage in heterosexual or homosexual activities for pleasure, sometimes mistakenly believing male-to-male anal intercourse is safe from STDs. 17% of girls reported their main means of earning money was "taking risks" (mujazafa), or sex work. However, qualitative research suggests sex work may be the main source of income for girls, as they have few alternatives, are constantly approached, and it is a quick and lucrative way to earn money. Boys engage in sex work less, but are more likely to do so if they are addicted to glue. Misconceptions about HIV, AIDS and STDs abound, although many children reported having had symptoms that may relate to them. One-quarter of children reported inflamed genitalia, one-third reported skin infections, and one-half reported chest infections. CONCLUSIONS: There is an urgent need to provide children with sexual health education and protective measures while living on the streets. Efforts to assist them permanently off the streets must address the complex reasons why they are there.

So, the old joke among graphic designers goes something like this:
Q: How many designers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Why does it need to be a light bulb?
You get the idea. There's always another way to look at a problem and we, as designers, tend to look at the problem, or the very question of the problem, as a complex series of issues needing to be addressed — in fact, are perhaps best addressed — by development of a new logo, an entirely new visual language supported by extensive (yet deceptively simple-to-use!) 'Brand and Identity Guidelines' documentation. And assuming that the budget is there, all is to be case-bound in a hand-wrapped bespoke enclosure, blind-embossed with clear foil. Cha-ching.
Recently, I read Rock On: An Office Power Ballad, penned by frequent McSweeney's contributor Dan Kennedy. Earlier in the week, I had heard Kennedy pimping the new effort with Terry Gross. Within seconds, I was audibly chortling in the car, by myself, as I attempted to steer my way to a client meeting I wasn't particularly eager to attend. Beyond his tales of the ironies of pop/country queen Jewel hawking personal razors for perhaps the year's biggest ad spend, Kennedy provided another take on the light bulb riddle:
Q: How many of the likes of us (in this case, record execs, but anyone charged with 'branding') does it take to change a light bulb?
A: First of all, before we change anything, is the light bulb really burned out? Maybe we just need to breathe some life into it; repackage it, maybe the light bulb could do a duet with somebody (Sheryl Crow? Tim McGraw?) in hopes of getting some crossover appeal, maybe it could be in a beer commercial, maybe we could get it out on the road with a brighter light bulb. The other thing to think about is that this summer, Honda is rolling out a 100 Million dollar campaign for a new car aimed at thirty-somethings who consider themselves adventurous/spontaneous but can't really afford something like a luxury S.U.V. and it might be a perfect campaign to tie this light bulb into, at least it would be the perfect demographic, in terms of age.
Also, and this is just an idea: what if we found out what video games are being released in the third quarter...

Mohammad-Reza Rahimi addresses Hezbollah supporters during visit to Israel border; Iranian VP highlights "the need to stand firmly and resist the Zionist regime" Dudi Cohen Published: 05.03.12, 21:22 / Israel News Tweet
Dudi Cohen
During a visit to a park bordering on Israeli territory, Iran's vice president stressed the Islamic Republic's ongoing support for Hezbollah. He later met with group leader Hassan Nasrallah in a southern Beirut suburb.

Tours by visiting Iranian officials on Israel's border have become a matter of routine in recent years. During such visits, senior officials usually meet Hezbollah leaders and senior Lebanese figures. An aide to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the area last year and said that "no cement or iron fence will save Israel."

This is the inaugural edition of The Executive Summary, a bi-monthly news report prepared by Ballotpedia's team of state executive reporters. We will provide comprehensive coverage of everything related to the state executive offices, from elections and appointments to controversies and current events. With each edition, you'll get the most important and relevant information about state executives across the country.
If you're looking for information about governors, lieutenant governors, attorneys general, secretaries of state, auditors, state treasurers, controllers, insurance commissioners, superintendents of schools, mine inspectors, adjutants general, or commissioners of labor, agriculture, education, insurance, natural resources and public services, you've come to the right place. Ballotpedia's state executive official project covers 749 offices. We are continually updating incumbent profiles and office overview pages to make sure you're getting the most complete and accurate information possible.
Of all the offices we cover, 335 are popularly elected; the remaining 414 are appointed by either the governor or the state legislature. This year, 22 states are holding regularly-scheduled state executive official elections. In those elections, a total of 37 state executive seats and 57 down ballot seats are up for election. Wisconsin also held two special recall elections for Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleefisch on June 6, 2012.
- 11 states have already held primary elections
- Candidate filing periods have closed in 7 other states
- In four states, no deadlines have passed (though there are two this week)
Upcoming key dates
Date | Event |
June 14 | Vermont's filing deadline |
June 15 | New Hampshire's filing deadline |
June 16 | Indiana's Democratic Party nominating convention |
June 18 | Campaign finance reports due for candidates in Utah |
Recent appointments
- Iowa Director of Natural Resources: Former Republican legislator Chuck Gipp was named the new Iowa Director of Natural Resources by Gov. Terry Branstad (R) on May 31, 2012. The position was left open when Roger Lande, who had served since December 2010, announced he was retiring in order to spend more time at his home in Ontario, Canada.[1] The Department of natural resources is responsible for oversight of the state parks, forests, and other resources.[2]
- Oregon Superintendent of Schools: On June 4, Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction Susan Castillo announced that she will resign at the end of the month, roughly two years before her term's scheduled expiration. [3] Governor John Kitzhaber said he would appoint someone to the newly created post of deputy chief education officer to replace Castillo – who was most recently re-elected in 2010 – by July 1. For the last 150 years, the superintendent has been an independent, elected position. Then in 2011, as part of Gov. Kitzhaber's reorganization of the entire state education system, a law was passed placing the superintendent's office directly under the governor's control, for the purpose of fostering "a more coordinated education system stretching from pre-kindergarten through graduate school."[3] The new law, which was not expected to take effect until Castillo's term ended in 2014, transfers "responsibility for the state's half-million students attending 1,200 public and charter schools"[3] to the governor, who will appoint a deputy chief education officer to oversee the department in place of an elected superintendent.[4]
Featured office
In each report, beginning June 28th, we'll feature one state executive office. Keep an eye out for the next edition, when we highlight public services commissioners. We'll give you a rundown of what they do, how they're chosen, how much they are paid (on average) and other interesting facts about the office.

Thread: how to avoid cramp (calves)?
how to avoid cramp (calves)?
everytime i play in tournaments, i my right calf(sp?) always get cramped Although i stretch before i play, it still happened everytime...what can i do to avoid from happening again?
It's better if u would check up with a professional doctor or asked others of how they strech their calfs..mind if u tell us how u do it?
well, I had a small lesson about cramps and calves yesterday (at badminton practise)
and he said cramp is just lactic acid ('milk acid' in my native tongue) heaping up in your muscles.
a massage would be nice, and really helped me there...we did calf drills all night, and I'm not sore now (except my shoulder...)
try to strech longer like from 10s to 15s but don't overdo
and if it cramp,massage over the area will work
Drink lots of water before and during your tournament, also eating a banana helps.
Many doctors say magnesium helps for cramps, and I've noticed it prevents them on me well too. So drink some mineral water or take a magnesium pill.
My first impression when I saw the title of this thread: Don't play badminton!
I suppose in any sport we're bound to experience cramps one time or other. So.. if we try our best to prevent cramps and it still comes..
Well, I usually can tell when I'm gonna get my calf(usually right) cramp. I get the funny tight feeling while playing. So usually I stretch it.. best way I've found so far is to stand up straight, put out your going-to-get-cramped foot and point it upwards. You can feel it being 'pulled' then, and the feeling usually goes away.
Massaging works too. Of course, it's nicer when you can get a fellow player to massage it for you.. you get to relax.
I hate cramps. One time I was on court, and suddenly my right calf cramped.. of course my first reaction was to sit down and hug my precious leg! But my coach wouldn't allow me to sit down, instead he told me to go against the wall and showed me how to stretch it. Don't know how to describe the position he showed me.. When I was in agony, mind you. I was practically hopping towards to wall clutching my calf.. actually I'll never understand why he didn't just stretch my leg for me(you know, get me to sit down, straighten my leg and push back the toes/feet). I took it that he was preparing me for tournaments in the future.. when I wouldn't have him around to get rid of my cramps, where I have to depend on myself to get rid of it. Lol!
So.. just make sure you stretch really properly, especially your calves. If it happens during training it's one thing.. if during tournaments like Djiban.. well, it affects your game. A lot.
Conclusion: I hate cramps.
Here is something that might help you..
You could probably build one yourself instead of spending that kind of money...

I thought cramps were caused by the lack of electrolytes in the body - usually due to heavy exercise.
Maybe you should look into what they said earlier: see a doctor, ask for advice, eat a banana (has potassium, tasty, has energy too), drink water to prevent dehydration, magnesium pills -- and probably look at electrolyte-replacing sports drinks (Gatorade?) or make one of your own.
This link: http://www.drugstore.com/qxa1863_333...about_them.htm
says that intake of potassium, calcium, and Vitamin E may help prevent cramps.
...it also said that cramps may happen for no apparent reason.

Cramps happen because of lactic acid buildup. When your body runs out of oxygen, it switches from aerobic respiration (with oxygen) to anaerobic respiration, with lactic acid as a by-product. A little lactic acid is normal, but lots of it building up will cause your muscle cells to lose control of its function.
For immediate relief, stop your activity, start massaging your calves, and take deep breaths to get as much oxygen as possible back into your system.
To prevent them in the future, I would do some research on a multivitamin, not just focusing on specific vitamins. You should already be taking one anyway. When you're shopping for one, make sure your multivitamin has enough Magnesium and Calcium, as many multivitamins actually skimp on those two. Also try to hydrate yourself 0.5 to 1 hour before you actually play as this helps a lot too.
Lots of bananas and water! careful, don't get a water belly though
and you also might wanna strengthen your legs! it helps A LOT!
eat more bananas becoz bananas contains potassiums
Stupid freaking Cramps!
I know that this thread is quite old but I'm sure that its just as relevant now! I just need an avenue to voice my sheer frustration I guess!
So here goes,
I am a doubles player and haven't really played any singles tournament for the past year and a half. Recently, I did play a few games of singles here and there and lost resoundingly almost always to even players who aren't better than me on an overall skill level. I put it down to poor foot movement which was quite a debilitating factor in the singles. I tried working on it by watching a lot of videos and understanding the basics of court movement for singles.
Yesterday I played in the University Singles Championship. I had once had the problem of cramping in a game before (last time I played a singles game 6 months back) and this time I wanted to be sure that it wont be repeated! I thought that I did everything right this time round. I had enough water with me which I kept drinking throughout the match (1.5 liters). I also had a sports drink (similar to Gatorade) which I mixed 50% water as advised in this forum. So that was 1 liter. I also had a Banana as well as 2 bars of Snickers between the games.
The first match was a two setter with both sets going on to 20 all. Second game was played after a break of around 15-20 min. This game was a three setter with all the sets going until 19 all. After another break of probably around 10-15 min, I played my third match and at 10-10 first set, I had a severe cramp on my left thigh. What was surprising was that it wasn't the hamstring but the front thigh or Quadriceps which was cramping. As I fell down writhing in pain, my right leg started cramping as well in the same location, the front thigh! By now I was rolling on the floor with pain and with great difficulty, my friends helped me get up and made me sit on the bench and were trying to stretch my legs. By now it was clear to me that I can't carry on anymore and was extremely disappointed that I had to call it a day! F***! The one day when I was playing confidently and winning, this happens...
What baffles me is that I had done most of the basics right. I drank properly, ate in intervals, did my stretching exercises properly before the start of the game. What am I missing here?? Did I overdo it??
Why is it only in singles that I am suffering? I do play a lot of doubles (3-4 times a week) and almost all of them are high intensity games against good opponents. I usually play with the front back combination with me at the back covering the entire court behind, jumping and smashing at every opportunity! It is extremely tiring (even more than the singles actually) and energy sapping. Yet I have never had any problems with cramps. Why is it that I am having so much problems with the singles? Was it the time between the games? Should I have kept stretching in between games as well? Is a banana enough for the potassium intake? Should I have taken Potassium supplements as well?? Aaarrrghhhh.... So many questions!!!
Sorry bout my mindless ranting there! Its ok if no one replies to this... I just needed to get it all out of my system! Really hope though, that someone can help me out of this and help me ensure that it doesn't happen again!
I do not know what is the cause of your specific problem, but it is not that you are lacking potassium.
The whole electrolyte replacement thing is somewhat over-emphasized in amateur sports by companies trying to sell stuff. Sure, in an endurance competition or in a very hot environment, you need to keep up your fluids and salts. But if you have healthy kidneys, haven't had days of diarrhea and are generally eating properly, there is no way that your cramps would have been helped by more bananas and gatorade.
My advice is to get assessed by an experienced trainer/phyiso who can lay hands on you. You are obviously very fit. But perhaps you have some areas of inflexibility or muscle imbalance that led to the cramps. It's impossible to judge in cyberspace. And if these cramps are getting more frequent or generalized, definitely see a doctor to rule out anything else. Good luck.
As someone said above, essentially cramps are due to a build up of lactic acid (combined with a number of other things). A few things can help reduce the onset of cramps.
- Fitness - Generally, the fitter you are, the less lactic acid will build up/or you are more tolerant of it because your muscles are not "overworked" as such.
- Keep Warm - Keeping the muscles warm, especially when resting will help reduce the chance of it happening. Make sure you warm up before playing and maintaining that warmth in the muscles.
- Hydrate/Minerals - Always keep topped up with water and minerals.
- Stretching - I personally don't find this helps that much with preventing cramps, but it certainly helps with preventing sprains/strains/muscle tears.
If you get a cramp, stop, don't carry on playing. It will only make it worse. Stretch and massage the area, I find applying a muscle rub like YokoYoko helps. Again, keep hydrated (e.g. electrolyte drink) and some say eating a banana helps to top up your mineral levels.
Also another tip I picked up a long time ago was to wear compression clothing, e.g. compression shorts, trousers etc.

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have determined the ages of groundwater at six sites, ranging from 200,000 to 1,000,000 years, in the Nubian Aquifer underneath the Eastern Sahara Desert. These results revealed hydrologic behavior of this huge aquifer, with important implications for climate history and water resource management in the region. With this demonstration, widespread application of 81Kr in Earth sciences now appears feasible.

So, what are some phrases that drive you nuts??
LOL Awesome! We have a lot of the same irritations. I hate when people start off with, "Not to be rude.." or "No offense.." Because it's rude and offensive and they're just looking for an out. How about, if it's rude or you think I'm going to be offended you just shut the hell up, mmkay?
And that "last place I looked" thing has ALWAYS bugged me. LOL Of COURSE you found it in the last place you looked, idiot - you stopped looking after you found it!
ROFL I love this post! The "I don't want to be rude... but" drives me insane too. If you don't to be rude, then stop there, keep your mouth closed. It's the same with "I don't to put you out" "I don't want to get in the way". Well then don't LOL.
The "last place I looked" one. If my son said he's lost something I say "it will be in the last place you will look"
Great Post!

This apparat is one with flexible functions, and its sound is as eclectic as its musical horizon is broad. its emotional chip features an option on happiness and its sound waves are able to tear your heart apart. while sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass! he can also proudly refer to a john-peel-session and is sporadically working with gianna nannini on a rock opera.
sascha ring, aka apparat, regards his moving out of the thuringian provincial backwater to berlin in 1997 as one of his best decisions ever made. since 1999 he runs, together with t.raumschmiere, the berlin based record label "shitkatapult" – a venturous music catapult that dashes a wild mixture of intentional great music onto the turntables of the world.
apparat is the bridge over the german gap of melancholic glitch between manchester and laptop-usa. his smart wiring of emotions produces a virtual musical reality, which is based upon different genres, depending on the surrounding of the "apparat". in his studio, dense, dark and majestic clouds of elegiac pop and heavy electronica built up to a coherent and emotionally charged atmosphere. live, on the other hand, the dance floor seems to be repelled to rave from the bermuda triangle with its axes techno, idm and elektro. those styles cannot necessarily be distinguished and heard on every of his releases, but since he started out with a much harder pace of electronic music in the early nineties, his influences are definitely techno and elektro as well. the intensity in apparat's tracks seems to grow with his own pleasure in experimenting. the charming breaking-up of the mechanical walkover of his elektronica compositions first being subtle clicks and accidental "sound mistakes", this is now being done by veritable musicians and singers, by classical instruments like violin and cello, saxophone and clarinet, which are then masterly orchestrated by apparat as the maestro of his computer.
sascha ring is also still working on recordings and live performances with his berlin buddies modeselektor as moderat and just recently started his own band. daniel durst (voice, guitar), simon berz (drums) and himself (bass, sounds and production) are still looking for a name for this newborn baby!!!

Christmas in the Czech Republic
During the evening of the 5th December, children are very excited and watch for St. Nicholas (Svatý Mikuláš) to arrive. He normally is accompanied by one or more angels and one or more devils. He asks the children if they've been good all year and also asks them to sing a song or recite a poem, and gives them a basket of presents. The basket normally contains small present similar to the stockings that children receive in the UK on Christmas day. The main presents are often opened on Christmas eve, during the evening.
In the Czech language Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Prejeme Vam Vesele Vanoce'. Happy/Merry Christmas in lots more languages.
The main celebrations are on Christmas Eve. Some people fast during Christmas Eve in the hope that they will see a vision of 'the golden pig' appear on the wall before dinner! This is meant to be a sign of good luck!
The Czech traditional Christmas dinner is eaten during the evening of Christmas Eve. The meal often consists of fish soup (made of carp), and fried carp with potato salad.
'Little Jesus' (the Czech version of Santa Claus) brings presents during dinner and leaves them under the Christmas Tree. He rings a bell right before he leaves. The presents are normally opened right after dinner. Religious families also usually sing Christmas carols by the tree, and go to church either at midnight or on Christmas Day.

In early 2010, as the State of Minnesota and its citizens faced the impact of a profound budget shortfall, a collaboration of five foundations - Bush, Minneapolis, Northwest Area, Minnesota and Saint Paul - contracted with an experienced expert on solving public problems, Public Strategies Group (PSG), to suggest ways to move through this period of challenge and, perhaps, change things for the better in the long term. The result was Minnesota's Bottom Line.
The ideas in the report focus on how to provide government services but spend less during a time of a severe budget shortfall. It includes ways to improve the health of citizens, meet the needs of vulnerable children and families, improve housing outcomes, deliver better county services, preserve or improve the health of the elderly and low-income populations, ensure public safety and improve educational outcomes for those with disabilities.
In early 2011, the foundations came together again to ask PSG to craft a proposal to the Minnesota Legislature based on their findings in Minnesota's Bottom Line. This proposal, Beyond the Bottom Line, offers specific suggestions for reforming and redesigning the way states and counties provide services to cities and how they pay for these services.
In 2013, Beyond the Bottom Line released a report, "Big Ideas. Better Outcomes. Bending the Cost-Curve," to offer concrete examples of government innovations taking place in every corner of the state, across topics and service areas, right now. The cases highlighted are just a brief snap-shot of the great work happening across Minnesota. Each one is proof-positive that big ideas and bold innovations can make a real difference in the public services that matter. The report and case studies highlighted were also the subject of a May 20, 2013, Star Tribune editorial.
The map to the right plots out the known local government redesigns taking place in Minnesota as collected through submissions to the Humphrey School's 2012 Local Government Innovation Awards Each dot represents a new approach to delivering on services, and a commitment to creating better outcomes for our future.
While much remains unresolved about Minnesota's economic future, these reports have spurred far-reaching conversations among citizens and lawmakers.

New signs save labor costs and spur sales according to owners
San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/28/2012 -- Burger King locations across the United States are getting a facelift in many locations in the form of new digital menu boards. The flat screen LCD displays, which are fed "digital product images, descriptions, prices and promotional information," and are "saving hours of labor and have spurred sales of promoted items."
Although some restaurants within the McDonald's chain of restaurants received digital signs earlier in the year, the roll out of signage for Burger King was much larger and was for the full menu. Unlike McDonalds, which featured the "McCafe line of beverages" in some of their locations, the Burger King boards have been a part of a reimaging campaign that was further intensified when the chain was purchased by 3G Capital Partners Ltd. of New York in 2010.
On a whole, the company reports that the signs have been "good for sales" and customers love the signage. Myrna Schultz, Vice President of Marketing and Development for Strategic Restaurants Company, says that the signs are "beautiful and it is definitely clean. Schultz also said that the effect on sales is apparent in the restaurants. "It has a good effect [on sales], particularly related to add-on type items," for the locations they own she stated. Employee's are also expressing that they like the new signage as much as customers.
While there is no data at this time that can show formal changes in sales trends, Schultz was quick to point out that a recent feature on the boards for a brownie sundae went very well. "Burger King decided to push down a brownie sundae animation, and it had such a huge impact that we didn't have enough product," said Schultz. She also stated that the signage is wonderful for each of the locations because, "…You can easily change promotional items as you need to."
About MVIXDigitalSignange.com

Report on London Games highlights positives
11/21/2012 00:26
Sinai Says: Report presented to the OCI board showed that 22 of 37 Israeli athletes met goals set out for them ahead of Games.

With the Israeli delegation returning home empty handed from the Olympics for the first time in 20 years, it is hardly surprising that the Olympic Committee of Israel did its best to bury Monday's report into the team's performance in the London 2012 Games.
No fancy press conference (usually so beloved by the OCI) was called and only general details were released to the public, as if the report includes information which could pose a threat to Israel's national security.
Israel failed to win a medal at the Olympics for the first time since Yael Arad took the country's first at the 1992 Barcelona Games, with windsurfer Lee Korzits and gymnast Alex Shatilov recording the delegation's best results, finishing in sixth place.
Since the end of the Olympics, the director of Israel's Elite Sport Department, Gili Lustig, and his staff held countless meetings with coaches and the heads of the different associations, analyzing the showing of each of the 37 Israeli athletes sent to London.
The report he presented to the OCI board on Monday showed that 22 of the 37 Israeli representatives met the goals set out for them ahead of the Games. However, Lustig, who has overseen Israel's professional preparations for the past five Olympics, understands that the failure to win a medal is all that is going to be remembered from the past summer.
"I have said at every chance that I take responsibility for the delegation's performance, but I also analyzed the results and we had 12 top-10 finishes," Lustig told me this week. "But we didn't achieve our main goal of winning a medal which is certainly a disappointment.
On the other hand, as far as finals and top-10 finishes go we did better than in the Beijing Games."
Lustig rejected any suggestion that the report should have been prepared by an external body and claimed that Israeli sports' biggest problem is its lack of depth.
"We are working with a vertical pyramid. We don't have a wide enough base of athletes," he said.
"We rely on a very limited number of sportsmen and sportswomen, so as soon as they are gone or not in shape we have no depth. This is an ongoing problem. It is not as if we have won 800 medals down the years. We have always relied on a small number of athletes and are left to try and work magic with them."
Perhaps the most important part of the Elite Sport Department's report is its recommendations ahead of Rio 2016.
"I think we must continue with favoring certain sports," Lustig said.
"It was proven in the past four-year Olympic cycle that nurturing and prioritizing particular sports results in success. Of the 31 medals we won in World and European Championships in this cycle, 29 came from these sports. Seven of the eight finals we reached in London were also in these sports, even with the lack of success in sailing and judo."
Despite the dejecting displays by almost all the sailors and judokas in London, Lustig believes they should still receive increased financial backing.
"These are sports that have proven themselves down the years and we have a relative advantage in them," he explained. "Continuity is crucial. We need to continue to support them. Likewise, we need to keep backing the athletics jumps project. We have young talented jumpers who unfortunately suffered from injuries. Swimming and gymnastics, which both did very well in London, also remain among our select sports."
Unlike in previous years, the Elite Sport Department has also suggested that certain events in some sports receive extra attention rather than just a sport in general.
"I'm in favor of focusing on particular events in which we have a relative advantage like foil in fencing, beach volleyball and certain weight categories in taekwondo," he said. "This is something we believe in."
As well as calling for an overhaul of the dilapidated infrastructure at Hadar Yosef Stadium and the Wingate Institute, Lustig is crossing his fingers that the different Olympic excellence bodies will soon all work together under one roof.
"Unfortunately, at the moment it is all divided. It is like a High school operating without knowing what is going on in a Junior school and a university not knowing how a High school functions," he said. "We need to join forces and lay out a complete vision. I hope that the OCI and Sports Ministry will approve this. If they work together and set up this structure I think that Israeli sports will look very different."
A final decision on the matter is expected to be made over the next couple of months.
The consequences of the mistakes of the past were clear for all to see in London.
For the sake of Israeli sports, lets at least hope that the right lessons have been learned.

I need to have a container field change to indicate how close the Jobs::DueDate is, if its 4 days away light blue, if its 1 day away bright red. I am able to get it all to work until the next day comes, then I need to go through all the DueDate fields and change the due date so my calculation for that field will work. the calc is DayOfYear(DueDate) - DayOfYear(Get(CurrentDate)) I want to have this updated all the time so the container field is kept up to date. I was thinking of a script to loop through the due date field, but I could not see how to go to the next record in a found set using a script I am sure this can be done, I must just be looking at it from the wrong angle
Make the calculation unstored. Where you entered the calculation formula, click the "Storage Options" button, then the "Do not store calculation results" checkbox. That will cause FM to automatically recaculate it every day.
thanks :)

Peter II
Peter II, Serbo-Croatian in full Petar Karađorđevič (born Sept. 6, 1923—died Nov. 3, 1970), the last king of Yugoslavia.
The son of Alexander I, who was assassinated during a visit to France on Oct. 9, 1934, Peter became titular king at 11, but the actual rule was in the hands of a regent, his uncle Prince Paul. After Paul was deposed by a coup of officers led by Gen. Dušan Simović on March 27, 1941, Peter ruled for a few weeks until Axis troops invaded. He then fled into exile in London, where he led an émigré government. In 1944 he married Princess Alexandra of Greece, and, after the Yugoslav monarchy was abolished by Tito in 1945, he settled in the U.S. He wrote A King's Heritage (1955) and worked in public relations in New York.

About VastarVastar
Add Fly to your list of class skills. In addition, whenever you cast a spell that grants you a fly speed, your maneuverability increases by one step (up to perfect).
1. Where were you born? When? How old are you? Were you born into opulence? Were you born behind a dung cart on a short break from another of your mother's back-breaking work days? I was born right here in Kassan: Mam says that since they changed the house around I'm still sleeping in the room where I was born. 2. Are your parents still alive? If not, when and how did they die? Does their present situation or the circumstances surrounding their death have any effect on your life choices? What is their legacy? Did they pass on a family curse? Was their fortune swindled away by a scurrilous villain? Were they nobles? Were they dirt poor? Were you ashamed of them? Were you proud of them? Were they ashamed of you? Were there secrets? Did your father have a strange signet ring that disappeared mysteriously when he died? Did your mother run a mage
Mam is still with us, Da has gone to happier pastures after joining the warring against Molthune. He was a good man, a good Da: strong, kind, good with his hands... I miss him every day but time passes, you try to be strong for Mam, for the community, for your little sister. That's what Erastil teaches us: there's too many folk needing help here and now to go moping about what's been and gone. 3. Do you have any siblings or other extended family? How important are they to you? Do you love them? Hate them? A little of both? Are
Esme, my little sister, she's my sister: she's a flipping pain in the neck sometimes but I'm her brother and if you do her wrong you'd best keep an eye out for me. 4. What is your favourite colour? If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? If you had 100,000 gold pieces to spend, and you couldn't buy anything even remotely useful, what would you spend it on? A menagerie of exotic animals? A magical pleasure barge? An ostentatious harpsichord? A personal chef who follows you around? A parcel of swamp land? A fossilized dire sloth? I've always loved a good pigeon pie, with spuds and salty butter... with a bit more money we could fix up the mill, buy in some more goats and fix up the wagons at the Toosher place. 5. Who do you hate? Who would you murder if you were sure you could get away with it and no one would ever find out? If you could erase one
I hate the soldiers who killed Da but that's a dull kind of background hatred. I hate people who kick up a stink about how they're all so la-de-da that they don't muck in with everyone else: that's who I hate. 6. Who do you love? What person would you sacrifice a thousand people to save? Why do you love them? Do they love you? Are you sure? I love Mam and Erastil and Esme, I suppose. 7. What do you look like? Are you stocky? Do you have huge jowls? A pug nose, broken from too many bar brawls? The thick forearms of a sailor? Spindly legs with knobby knees? A scar across your forehead? A facial tick? A lazy eye? Are you missing two fingers on your left hand? What happened to those other fingers? Are you bald? Do you have a braided beard with golden ornaments in it? Are you unnaturally tall? Are you an albino? Do you have particularly (and unsettlingly) sharp teeth? I'm in good shape, still pretty young, not too scrawny but maybe waiting to fill out properly. Wondering about going for a beard but worried about having a daft, whispy thing. 8. What do you believe in? Do you have faith in a higher power? A god? A demon lord? If so which one? Are you a pragmatist? Do you believe people are born good? Evil? Do you believe in fate? Do you think people choose their own destiny? Do you believe peace is the answerto the world's ills? Education? Conquest? Are you a patriot? What's an ideal you hold on to? Compassion? Bravery? Righteousness? Power? How do you see yourself ? I believe in Erastil.
9. Are you superior to others in your own mind? Are you unworthy of another's love? Do you love yourself ? Do you hate yourself ? What are you afraid of most? What have you done that you are most ashamed of? What single deed makes you most proud? I'm a good man, as far as these things go, and I'm lucky to have found a place in life that suits me, but I'm no more special than any other man. 10. How do you dress? Do you wear black satin doublets because they are slimming and hide the weight you put on since you left the monastery? Do you wear worn gray robes because you believe hiding your power is more important than showing off and inviting unwanted attention? Do you wear sparkling jewels and garish colors to make a splash wherever you roam? Do you favor the dress of your people, or scorn it? Why? I wear hard-wearing, practical clothes, with the mark of Old Deadeye burnt into my gloves and a symbol hung around my neck. 11. How do you talk? Do you stutter? Do you speak slowly, careful to phrase every sentence perfectly? Are you eloquent? Do you favour strange syntax, such as always referring to yourself in the third person? Do you speak softly, or are you especially boisterous? Do you have an accent? Do you grumble? Mutter? Prattle? Do you speak in a high pitch? A low growl? Do you only speak when spoken to? I talk plain but I don't rush my words or pick fights. 12. What are your goals in life? Do you want to restore your family honour? Do you want to impress the woman of your dreams? Find your lost child? Find the secret of immortality? Write a poetic masterpiece worthy of passing down through the ages? Find your mother's long lost sword? ... |

Going solo may be winner
The social housing sector may benefit from an independent Scotland, says Ruth McNaught, solicitor at Harper Macleod
Scotland's housing profile is distinct from that of the rest of the UK for a number of social, legal and environmental reasons. For example, there is less private housing in Scotland and a higher proportion of socially rented stock. Also, Scotland's climate impacts upon the range of options available to tackle issues of energy efficiency and fuel poverty, and there is, of course, a different legal system.
Competing policies
Under the current devolution settlement, responsibilities for housing and regeneration policy already lie with the Scottish ministers. These include: grant funding; utilisation of planning powers; regulating the tenant and landlord relationship; setting the standards of quality for rented housing; and legislating on matters relating to land and property.
The underlying mechanisms for providing social security - the taxation (including inheritance tax and stamp duty) and benefits systems - are, however, reserved to the UK. This, in effect, creates two distinct streams of housing policy being implemented in Scotland: one devised and operated at a UK level through the social security system, and one at a Scottish level.
There is significant overlap between the Westminster and Holyrood operations in terms of housing and regeneration policy. Traditionally, the Scottish Government has subsidised the development of the social housing sector by providing grants to develop low-cost rental properties. These grants come from a pool of money, the amount of which is determined and allocated to Scotland through the Scottish block grant by UK government.
We are now seeing a move towards alternative funding mechanisms, which can involve private sector debt finance being underpinned by a Scottish Government guarantee. To fund the loan repayments, social housing providers look to their rental income: a source of funds which is underpinned by housing benefit - a UK government subsidy.
Going solo
In an independent Scotland, the Scottish Government would have full and sole responsibility for the economy, including investment in infrastructure such as housing, and the taxation and benefits system. Housing initiatives rely heavily on housing benefit to fund schemes; consequently, responsibility for housing benefit would likely have a significant impact on housing policy in Scotland.
Regardless of the political arguments in favour for and against the independence motion, it is clear that a 'yes' vote for Scottish independence will have considerable implications for the way Scotland's social housing infrastructure operates. One system for funding social housing and its rents, as opposed to two interlinked systems, might well deliver benefits for Scotland, by providing a holistic service and a more joined-up approach.
It may also present Scotland with the opportunity to diverge more from practice in England, to best meet Scottish needs and interests. Of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating - we cannot definitively predict the quality of the social housing landscape in an independent Scotland, we can merely hypothesise.
Readers' comments (2)
It's looking more likely a Yes vote by the day. Cameron's cuts and welfare benefit reforms alone help, and saying no HB to under 25's added quite a few more "Yes" votes. We also have the remarkable picture of Labour in bed with the Tories, which did the Lib Dems no favours at all at the last Westminster and Holyrood elections. It's not going to help Labour, that's for sure.
And, frankly, the Unionist parties are so negative - always attacking, tales of armageddon if it is a "Yes," whilst singularly failing to put across a positive argument for staying in the Union. They are so childish they won't even mention the "Independence" word and insist on "separation" - as if we're going to float off into the North Sea or the Atlantic, for goodness sake. They say if there is a No vote more devolution will come, but they won't say what powers they will transfer and argue against a second devo max question - even though polls show a huge level of support for it, to the point that people will vote YES if it's only a single yes/no question. Finally, Labour vote no consistently against the SNP even where it is on policies that they support in private or in their manifesto - just because it is the SNP putting them forward - how childish.
If the Unionists want to save the Union they are going to have to step up their game. Funny how none of the Lib, Tory or Lab leaders in Scotland are a visible part of the "No" campaing (largely because they are embarrasingly poor) and they are relying on an ex labour chancellor who threatened cuts deeper than thatcher, flipped his second home however many times at public cost, and presided over the near bankrupcy of the country.Article and McMadman's comment both spot on. But there is a potential effect on housing in England & Wales - that of having a successful social democratic model operating on your northern border and providing a wee contrast to the neo-liberals. YES being the prerequisite

Statistics say that baseball bats kill far more people than guns or anything else. Remember that the cops cannot protect you - their job is not about protection it's about enforcement - it says so right on the side of their cars. Remember the Japanese didn't go beyond Hawaii because they knew that behind every bush in America was a person with a gun - a standing army of several million. Check the crime statistics of every other nation that has total gun control - I think you will be horrified!!
What really is frightening is that people like you, totally clueless, uneducated and not burdened with an I.Q. that even resembles room temperature are allowed to purchase and own guns here.

Ethnicity and Power in the Contemporary World (UNU, 1996, 298 pages) |
10. Ethnic conflict, federalism, and democracy in India |
The inconsistent and reversible processes of ethnic conflicts can be understood in the context of India's developmental dynamics, which have been releasing simultaneously the impulses of both conflict formation and containment. Both the alienation and integration of ethnic groups have been going on side by side, a process which Arun Bose describes as "Disintegration and Reintegration."10
Looking at the politics of ethnicity in South Asia with reference to developmental dynamics, either of the two trends can be emphasized. On the one hand, Asaf Husain presupposed that "successful national integration would cut across structures," while on the other hand, Paul Brass highlighted a "process of nationality formation rather than state-building."11 The reality is that both these views are tenable since one "does not preclude the bother."12 It is this dual character of social development which prompts David Washbrook to say that "the politics of ethnicity have been remarkably ineffective in directing the course of modern Indian history,"13 although many may seriously question this categorical assertion.
The fact that the sharpening of ethnic boundaries and conflicts in India has been on the rise cannot be disputed. Studies have shown an increase in communal riots, and the rise in the number of persons killed in these riots has become alarming since 1985, as can be seen from official data:14
Year |
Communal incidents |
Persons killed |
Persons injured |
1955 |
75 |
24 |
475 |
1965 |
173 |
34 |
758 |
1975 |
205 |
33 |
890 |
1985 |
525 |
328 |
3,665 |
In 1985, rural areas which thus far had remained unaffected also accounted for 46 per cent of communal incidents. The momentum in communal violence has kept up in recent years. In 1989 there were 18 major riots, in which 1,174 persons were killed. The number of persons killed in 1986 was 418; 383 were killed in 1987, 223 in 1988, and 693 in 1990.15 One of the major factors behind the deterioration in the communal situation is the rise of Hindu fundamentalism and its corresponding majoritarian ethnic nationalism based on Hindutva. The temple-mosque conflict in Ayodhya was a concrete manifestation of this.16 Political vested interests have obviously played a decisive role in this development, which if allowed to go on unabated will worsen the situation and endanger India's unity and integrity.17
As for the persistent and festering ethnic conflicts in the Punjab, Kashmir, and Assam, we have already noted that they have intensified and the extent of violence has grown. Even the character of these insurgencies, in terms of their objectives, ideologies, leadership, and methods, is becoming more strident and uncompromising. The growing violent activities of Sikh militants in the Teral region of Uttar Pradesh have become a matter of serious concern. In addition to this, other potential ethnic conflicts such as in Jharkand and the Nepali/Gurkha communities are reportedly gathering political momentum.18 In the north-eastern tribal areas, the Naga National Council (NNC) has decided to take up arms and coordinate its activities with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN). The tribal situation in Manipur, Tripura, and Mizoran is also moving fast towards the boil. 19
No less significant than this process of disintegration and conflict have been the forces of integration and mutual identification of diverse ethnic and cultural streams. We have noted earlier that the basis of the integrative process is India's composite culture, expressed in the form of secular national identity. Indian secularism did not evolve on the pattern of European secularism, which strove to detach the spiritual from the temporal. In India, all religions were accepted on an equal footing. The state gave equal rights to all religious and ethnic groups so that they could protect and promote their educational and cultural interests, by virtue of the Indian Constitution (arts. 2630). (An exception was made for scheduled castes and tribes, which were brought under the umbrella of "protective discrimination," according to Part X, arts. 30, 46, 244, 244A, and 335 of the Indian Constitution.) This secular identity was not an imposition by the state on society but a recognition of a deep-rooted social reality- that erosion of this identity would mean the disintegration of India along sectarian lines. Hence, firm constitutional provisions were made to preserve secular identity. In a way, they were necessary, owing to the trauma of India's partition.
To have a better appreciation of the dual process of integration and alienation of ethnic and national groups/identities - that is, the simultaneous occurrence of ethnic conflict formation and containment, we must look more closely at India's developmental dynamics, federalism, and democracy.

Editorial: HMA investing further in local economy, healthcare
Naples Daily News, April 29, 2013
A shift in the business plan of a major Southwest Florida health-care provider still seems to bode well for our area. Pelican Bay-based Health Management Associates plans to expand its Physicians Regional Medical Center at the Vineyards in North Naples after pulling out of a potential showdown with Lee Memorial Health System over rights to build a new hospital in southern Lee County. Given an impressive display of public support for Lee Memorial — via more than 2,000 residents' letters to state health care regulators and more than 50 backers at a local public hearing the other day — HMA's choice to consider other opportunities to the south seems well reasoned.

For a Republican Party mapping a strategy to unseat United States Senator Carol Moseley-Braun, it seemed that Loleta Didrickson, a moderate who supports abortion rights, had come straight from political central casting.
A fiscal conservative and a social liberal, Ms. Didrickson, the state's comptroller, was touted as the candidate who would win back the suburban and rural women so crucial to Ms. Moseley-Braun's election six years ago.
But Republican voters in Tuesday's primary might throw a wrench in the party's plans. Peter Fitzgerald, a 37-year-old wealthy businessman and conservative state representative, had climbed virtually even with Ms. Didrickson, 56, in the last weeks of the campaign, and was outspending her in advertising.
In what has become a familiar pattern around the nation, conservative and moderate Republicans were waging a virtual civil war in primaries, usually dividing over abortion and gun control, and in some cases nominating a candidate who could not defeat the Democrats.
''The Republicans are divided over abortion like the Democrats used to be divided over civil rights,'' back when most Southern voters belonged to the Democratic Party, said Charles Jones, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ''And the Democrats are enjoying watching the Republicans tear themselves up.''

Dear AISE West community,
All of us have spent the weekend thinking about Nelson Mandela. I am sure we feel sad and happy at the same time that we could witness such an extraordinary life, even if most of us have done so at some distance.
I remember teaching Apartheid in a 4 week unit of Gr 7 history at the UN School in New York, in the 70s. I had a huge box of documents, pamphlets, statistics etc, provided by the UN as well as by the South African government at that time. My students had to find their own way through all these sources and they detected the grave injustice of the system themselves. Awareness and admiration of Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko etc came later.
Please find your own way to talk to your children about him this week. I will put his portrait and a blank book for memories and tributes into the entrance hall of the school. Staff, students, parents, we can all contribute. But it would be sad if we celebrated his life and legacy without realising what he would tell us about the situation in Egypt, in the Middle East and all other places in the world which are marked by deep conflicts and have to overcome them. I posted the following on facebook yesterday, as so many tributes all over the world now state, reconciliation is a vital part of his legacy.
"If we define ourselves by the people we genuinely admire then all of us now should feel part of a global community dedicated to conciliation after conflict .... something sorely needed in Egypt right now too".
Thank you,

We've heard a lot of groups push back their comeback dates because of various reasons, and it looks like 2ne1 will be one of them, and the reason behind their delayed comeback is because of their album production.
A representative from YG Entertainment stated, "There were plans to release 2NE1′s new album within this month. However, because there were so many good songs and because they are putting their hearts and souls into this album, the release period has been delayed."
Despite announcing their delayed comeback, the members told their fans that they shouldn't worry because they will definitely not disappoint them with their upcoming album, which is set to be released later on mid-July!

06/12/12 5:32 pm

Mm, one more month. I shall wait.
aww but it's ok I can wait another month.
06/12/12 5:20 pm
I don't like having to wait another month, but I'm still really happy that it's happening at all. Can't wait to hear all of the great new songs! =)

Italian businessman creates $18,000… sex toy modeled after his ex-girlfriend
July 13, 2013 5 Email article | Print articleIf such a day would come where your significant other decides to end the relationship, most likely for someone else, what would you do? Would you simply move on with your life, cry her a river, take a vacation to the Moon, go hiking, or would you spend $18,000 to create a sex doll made in her image? Apparently, an Italian businessman did the latter.
The unnamed 50 year old Italian businessman was distraught after his ex-girlfriend dumped him for unknown reasons, so he went to Temptations toymaker Diego Bortolin and asked if he could recreate his ex-girlfriend as a realistic sex toy. The 50 year old man brought with him a few pictures of his former lady for Diego Bortolin to use, and he asked to make her breasts bigger.
(The image you see above isn't the image of the actual sex toy.)
Usually, Bortolin would charge a cool $5,000 to get the job done, however, this is a special case. The man wanted the sex toy to have all the features of his ex-girlfriend, even the teeth and nails should be similar to the real thing, so Bortolin charged a special price — $18,000.
Now here's the kicker, the sex toy is quite flexible and is capable of taking any position humanly possible. Meaning this little old man is going to be quite busy during those lonely nights with this realistic sex toy; let's hope he doesn't kill himself in pain and anguish when the toy doesn't vocally respond to his seductive ways.
It is never easy going through a breakup, especially if had been in a relationship with the person for any number of years. However, this is not the way to handle it, you just don't go ahead and make plans to have a realistic sex toy created out of your ex's figure and likeness. What do we suggest? Simple; eat a pack of Snickers.
[via APP]

Sex toy that looks like your ex? Nothing creepy about that, no sir!
1Hmm, I'm trying not to see the clean-up afterwards, so what does he do just hose her down?
3After the breakup, he wants something to do with his ex-girlfriend? Hey, there are lots of flowers in this world.
4" let's hope he doesn't kill himself in pain and anguish when the toy doesn't vocally respond to his seductive ways." Maybe the real one didn't either…. Or maybe he wouldn't mind a little silence.

A Harvey Wallbanger consists of good vodka, galliano and fresh orange juice. Another cocktail that is totally leathal as it tastes fruity and sweet, and you forget about the alcholic content.
Quite an unusual flavour this - one you will either love or hate, as Galliano has quite an unique flavour of all its own. This is one of the easiest cocktails to make as well. Equal measures of vodka and galliano, and then top up with fresh orange juice - couldn't be easier.

Today's Monday challenge is to make a card AND more. It could be a tag, bag, envelope, or something else....as long as it goes along with the card. I went for a little treat holder. Granted, I don't own anything sweet! I filled a small acetate bag with some nuts. :-) I also used Amber's Unity Sketch #14. That girl is TALENTED! :-)
