Anonymous asked: i remember you mentioning a swedish movie which id wanted to see but had completely forgotten about until today. i went through your archive and cant seem to find it ? -xxo
hi, um ive mentioned lots of swedish films over the last year. i can make a list of some i guess and take your pick? do you remember if it was an old film or a new film?
i went through a phase where i watched/rewatched a bunch of Ingmar Bergman films? one that i talked about on here a fair bit was Scenes from a Marriage I also mentioned Fanny and Alexander a few times. Ive also mentioned Autumn Sonata.
newer films i have mentioned are Lukas Moodysson films. one was Together, which was kinda beautiful. and the famous Lilya 4-ever
I also dug some Josef Fares films, especially Zozo because it was close to my middle eastern heart.
then there was trust me starring Alexander Skarsgård & Gustaf Skarsgård. it was ok, cute ensemble type film.
if none of this is of any help to you check out this link on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_Swedish_films_by_decade

Having booked this as part of a package deal we weren't too sure what to expect.

Evanescence | Bring me to Life
Today, we celebrate life
Listen to Evanescence's song on Youtube.
How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.
Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.
Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.
All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life

This side dish of roasted sweet root vegetables is a perfect accompaniment to roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. A side of bitter greens, like mustard greens, offers a nice balance to the sweetness.
This delicious stuffing is rich and rustic if you use whole wheat bread, lighter using white.
Here's a terrific vegetarian main course that stars big, flavorful tomatoes in all their glory. We call for quinoa as a base for the stuffing, but you could substitute with 1 1/2 cups of just about any leftover cooked whole grain.
Your guests will never suspect what secret ingredients are in this dairy-free chocolate mousse. Make the day before and chill in individual serving glasses.
We're not supposed to have a favorite, but in our series of dairy-free "nice creams," this peach and banana combo, rich with both almond butter and almondmilk, might just be the standout, especially when summer peaches are extra sweet!
Cooking dried beans is low maintenance and a great value. Make sure to plan ahead and allow time for soaking the beans. Serve with hot sauce or salsa, if you like.
This date-worthy recipe proves that healthy budget meals aren't boring! As good as or better than a restaurant entree, it features salmon raised by our farmer partners committed to producing the most environmentally friendly farmed seafood.
Don't hesitate to use a prepared pie crust to make this dark chocolate-laden pecan pie. Or if you have a bit of extra time on your hands, make your own Simple Pie Crust.
Rich, crispy puff pastry makes an elegant wrapper for cocktail franks, and the easy sauce of cranberry and Dijon mustard is a wonderful seasonal accompaniment.
This quick, delicious meal is perfect served over spaghetti or angel hair pasta with a side salad.
A colorful and original variation on traditional chicken salad, this dish combines chicken and vegetables — crisp zucchini, grape tomatoes, baby spinach leaves and roasted peppers — with Kalamata olives and orzo pasta.
There's always something comforting about eating rich and creamy turkey pot pie and this version is no exception. Use leftover Thanksgiving turkey, or even shredded roasted chicken, to make this simple take on a classic even easier.
Tender young pumpkin stuffed with wild rice and cranberries makes for a fun and tasty dish. Serve as a light lunch or with an entrée of your choice, a fresh green salad, and a glass of dry rosé or white wine for a beautiful fall dinner.
Making your own ranch dressing is surprisingly easy. Your salads will thank you!
Halved grape tomatoes and avocados join onions, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt in this perfect side dish or simple appetizer with tortilla chips.
For those who love a flavorful macaroni and cheese, this sharp cheddar and blue cheese version will be a new favorite.

FEE-HELP Information
FEE-HELP is a loan scheme that assists eligible fee paying domestic students pay all or part of their tuition fees. It cannot be used for additional study costs such as accommodation or text books.
Am I eligible for FEE-HELP?
Important Information: Changes to Legislation - Higher Education Support Amendment (Student Contribution Amounts and Other Measures) Bill 2012.
Recent changes to legislation will impact Australian Citizens who are enrolling for the first time into a new program from 01 January 2013, and who will not be residing in Australia for at least the study period for one unit of study within the program. If you are in this category then you will not be eligible for Commonwealth support and/or HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP loan. You will be charged at the full fee tuition rate as set by the University for your study and will be responsible for the payment of these fees to the University.
If you are continuing in your current program you will continue to be eligible for Commonwealth support and HELP loans.
If you are a New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident who will not be located within Australia for the duration of your study, you will not be eligible for Commonwealth assistance.
For further information please contact email@example.com or visit StudyAssist
You are eligible for FEE-HELP if you:
meet the citizenship and residency requirements:
you are an Australian citizen who will be residing in Australia for at least the study period for one unit of study within that program;or
a permanent humanitarian visa holder who will be a resident in Australia for the duration of your study within that program; or
you are a permanent visa holder who is undertaking bridging study for overseas-trained professionals, and will be resident in Australia for the duration of the study;
are enrolled in an eligible unit of study by the census date for that unit;
have not exceeded the FEE-HELP limit (see below); and -
have completed a Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) for FEE-HELP as part of your enrolment; and:
you must have provided your valid TFN to the University.
How much can I borrow?
Eligible students can borrow up to the FEE HELP limit to pay their tuition fees.
For 2013, the FEE HELP limit is $116,507 for students undertaking medicine, dentistry and veterinary science courses (as defined in the Higher Education Support Act 2003), and $93,204 for all other students.
Note that the higher FEE HELP limit only applies to courses that lead to initial registration to practise in those fields. The lower limit will apply to any further study you undertake once you have gained the requisite level for initial registration.
Is there a loan fee?
There is a loan fee of 25% for FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate courses of study only. The loan fee does not count towards your FEE-HELP limit.
How do I apply?
read the Information for FEE-HELP Information booklet; and
submit a valid Request for FEE-HELP assistance form (eCAF) by the census date . You can complete your eCAF as part of your enrolment via MyHub.
provide your valid TFN to the University
Important Information
The submission of an eCAF is related specially to a single program of study. Students must complete a new eCAF upon admission to any new program (including moving from a Graduate Certificate to a Masters).
The eCAF must be completed prior to census date in any relevant term. Failure to complete an eCAF will mean that you will be resonsible to pay the tuition fees to the University.
Upfront Payments
If you choose to pay the tuition fees, you will need to ensure that you have your fees paid by the census date.
Up front payments or partial payments do not attract a discount from the University.
Late Payment
The University cannot accept up-front payments after the census date for the semester or trimester. Payments made after the census date will be returned or refunded. Your enrolment may be placed at risk if you do not pay your fees and have not provided a current eCAF and valid TFN.
The amount shown on the Student Bill as Tuition Charges will be deferred to the ATO if you have completed an eCAF and provided a valid TFN, and you are eligible for FEE-HELP.
How much do I owe on my HELP loan?
HELP debts are managed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Therefore, for specific information on your HELP debt you will need to contact the ATO on 13 28 61. You can phone the ATO at any time during the year to request a HELP account information statement to get the balance of your account. Be sure to have your tax file number (TFN) handy when you call. The ATO will ask you for it for security purposes before they disclose any personal information to you.
Changing your Degree Program
If you change your degree(s) you must complete a new Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF). For example, upgrading from a Graduate Certificate to a Graduate Diploma, or Graduate Diploma to a Masters requires a new CAF.
Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN)
Under the guidelines of the Higher Education Support Act (HESA) 2003, the University must issue a Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN) to all Commonwealth Supported (HECS), OS-HELP, SA-HELP and FEE-HELP students after the census date for each term of enrolment. The CAN sets out details of your enrolment, the fees charged, payments received and any amounts deferred to the Australian Taxation Office as a HELP loan.
The CAN is delivered electronically (eCAN) and will be available for viewing on your MyHub page. After the census date in each term of your enrolment you will receive an email from the Student Financials and Scholarships office to advise that your eCAN is available on MyHub.
You will need to select the View My eCAN link on your MyHub Home Page, located in the My Finances section, to view the details of your CAN. We recommend that you print a copy of the eCAN for your records.
Should you not agree with the details of your eCAN you will have 14 days, from the date of issue of your eCAN, in which to appeal the information. You will find a link to the Appeal form on your My Hub page.
Remission of Debt in Special Circumstances
Students who are unable to continue with their studies due to Special Circumstances, and who withdraw after the Census Date, may be eligible for Remission of Debt in Special Circumstances.
More information can be found in the University's Refund and Student Indebtedness policies and on the Remission in Special Circumstances page.

Sylvania SilverStar zXe
I promised Enkei I would post pictures of the bulbs once I installed them so here they are. I am honestly very impressed with how bright these bulbs are. I had the brightest bulbs Putco made and these Sylvania blew them out of the water! They fit in the housing better IMO, and look better too. The driver side of the truck had the Silverstar zXe's in and the passenger side had the Putco's in. Just look at the difference. The first picture is the low beams, the second the highs

08-29-2013, 01:08 PM #10I am also curious. I had the piaa ultra white plus bulbs in my 2003 yukon xl. They were great all summer. Great on pitch black nights with no moon. In rain the wet roads were kinda hard to see. In a heavy snow the light from the bulbs reflected back off of the snow and created a wall of white. I could not see more than 10 feet in front of me.It was like having my brights on in a fog. I happened to have my stock bulbs with me. I pulled over and switched back to them. I could actually see for the rest of my 50 mile trip home.

They had stopped today and so she is waiting til her appointment on Monday to see the doctor. She called and they said if they didn't stop or if they got worse to come to the ER. Anyway, she's scared to death and needs thoughts and prayers too. It seems to be going around right now, the need for thoughts and prayers. :(

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground white pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon green (mild) hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 cups diced cooked rotisserie chicken

1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
3 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (optional)
Slight modifications - did not have exact cheeses so used cheddar jack in place of Monterrey jack and provolone in place of Swiss. Turned out great!
Thank's for sharing !!! I had to leave out the hot sauce .( it doesn't like me !) I alway's peel my stem's so I do not get all that string from the stem's. We All Loved IT!!! I am going to make it over and over !! My friend's asked how I made it !! So, of course I told them !! I have two Chicken's, and grow my own herb's . KUDOS!!!!!

This is delicious. I used all cheddar cheese because that's what I had in the frig, and I didn't use mushrooms because my husband doesn't like them, but I don't think you can mess this up. It's a very good recipe.
I used this recipe as a basis, since it was basically what I wanted. Since a lot of reviewers said it was too salty, I didn't use salt at all. I also didn't use the herbs listed...I just used the "Salad Elegance" spice mix from Penzey's, since I didn't have parsley. I also made it as individual tartlets rather than a large pie. (The filling (asparagus plus chicken cheese mix) would have easily made 6 - 7 tarts, but the egg mixture ran out at four. I'll mix up another batch of eggs to use with the remaining filling. ) Tartlets still took about 40 minutes to cook, so I imagine a larger quiche would have taken even longer to firm up. But it was VERY GOOD!
Very very good.. I used ham steak instead of the chicken. I cooked for an hour. Makes for a great Easter brunch.
I will start off by saying this is an extremely good pie, but there are a couple of problems with this recipe. One, it's not very quiche-like. The middle isn't firm, it's actually kind of watery. I think it was all the extra fluid from the asparagus and the mushrooms. Despite 5 eggs, it's not very eggy? I would put this more in the realm of a pot pie than a quiche. Two, the asparagus makes it hard to cut without having the filling fall out everywhere. This could be remedied by peeling the stems, but next time I will just dice them because I like the extra fiber. Three, this recipe is a little salty, what with all the cheese. I may leave the salt out entirely next time. I did make a few modifications. I left out the Monterrey Jack because this recipe was already insanely calorie dense and I figured one type of cheese would be enough. I'm glad I did because of the saltiness. I also left out the rotisserie chicken, instead using two chicken breasts cooked in just lemon juice and green onions for filling. This made it nicely tart which complimented the asparagus and cheese flavor. Overall I would definitely make this again. It is a really good pie, even if it's not a quiche.
Attention: the recipe calls for way too much filling, I actually attempted to stuff it all into one pie crust (9" deep dish) and it made a huge mess because about 2 1/2 eggs spilled either on the floor on the way to the oven or in the oven itself. So I would suggest cutting the recipe down to at least 3/4. Also, it did not cook all the way through in the time indicated. Other than that, the recipe is tasty! And I will try it again.
Great recipe but a bit too salty (will cut amount in half next time, possibly because rotisserie chicken had a lot of flavor). Chicken tastes great in this dish! Subbed mozzarella since didn't have swiss. The asparagus steamed at 4 minutes was perfect (the ones on put on top were too crunchy after baked however (will skip that next time). Overall it was a really good breakfast, family was really happy!

Dow reaches 14,000, first time since 2007
U.S. stocks surged as growth in American payrolls was enough to ease concern about the economy without stoking speculation the Federal Reserve will hasten the end of stimulus. Silver and copper led gains in commodities and the yen weakened, while Treasuries trimmed early gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose as much as 143.8 points and traded above 14,000 for the first time since 2007, while the S&P 500 Index (IBEX) jumped 1 percent to return to a five- year high following a two-day slump.

DHS surveys routinely collect data on infant and child mortality and child health. Several measures of childhood mortality are calculated using DHS survey data:
- Neonatal mortality – the probability of dying within the 1st month of life
- Infant mortality – the probability of dying before the 1st birthday
- Postneonatal mortality – the difference between infant and neonatal mortality
- Under-five mortality – the probability of dying before the fifth birthday
- Child mortality – the probability of dying between the 1st and 5th birthdays
What are the DHS indicators related to infant and child mortality?
- Infant and child mortality by background characteristics (10-year rates)
- Infant and child mortality by demographic characteristics (10-year rates)
- Reporting of age at death in days
- Reporting of age at death in months
- Perinatal mortality
Why is child mortality important?
Under-5 mortality rate is a leading indicator of the level of child health and overall development in countries.
Millennium Development Goal #4 is to reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the mortality rate of children under five. Between 1990 and 2008, the number of children in developing countries who died before they reached the age of five dropped from 100 to 72 deaths per 1,000 live births.

A few highlights of the response in the last few days:
Temporary employment can help storm survivors meet their needs in the short and medium term, but Oxfam is also listening to what farming and fishing families tell us they need to support themselves for the long haul. Our team working in the northern tip of Cebu in the area of Daanbantayan report that the typhoon destroyed the local fish farm, and many fishing boats. They encountered a local fisherman who has been able to get out on the water, and donated a portion of his catch to a soup kitchen providing meals to his fellow survivors. Oxfam staff in this area are looking at different options for helping fishermen get material to repair their boats and gear so they can get back to work.
Oxfam and the Food and Agriculture Organization are reporting that typhoon Haiyan has damaged one third of the rice crop normally harvested in November in the Philippines.
"…harvesting of the 2013 main season paddy crop, representing 55 percent of the annual production, was well advanced, while planting of the mostly irrigated 2013/14 secondary season crop had started" when the storm hit the Philippines, according to a report issued by the FAO on 19 November.
Five key areas crucial for rice production in the Philippines were severely affected – most farmers probably lost their crop.
Farmers surviving the storm will need help to plant in December. Many will have lost all their seeds, tools, and other equipment. "Missing the next rice planting season in December would leave millions of Filipinos without their staple food for daily consumption as well as a huge loss of income and increased debt for farmers," reads Oxfam's press release, issued today.
It's another race against time. Oxfam is calling for countries providing assistance to the Philippines to fund the agricultural component of the UN Haiyan Action Plan (p. 10) so that farmers can get back to work. It may be a crucial means to avoid a major food supply deficit in the Philippines.

]]>This paper proposes a comprehensive new national rice policy, aimed at boosting farmers' productivity and incomes. To bolster these investments, the paper proposes a price stabilization system that ensures that imported rice sells at a minimum entry price, with a variable tariff that rises when the price of imports falls below the minimum level. This system would not have a high impact on either producer or consumer prices.
]]>This case study focuses on the Palmas del Ixcán company and the social, environmental and economic effects of its oil palm plantations on local communities in northern Guatemala. The evidence gathered reveals practices that violate people's basic rights and indicates lack of a thorough impact assessment, of effective democratic planning, and of contract transparency.
Khuong farms on two small plots of rice paddies, a total of 10 sao (nearly an acre) in Dong Dat commune of Thai Nguyen's Phu Luong district. She attributes the good harvest to the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), a package of good agricultural practices for hand-planted rice that increase yields while using less seeds, water, and fertilizers.
Today more than 1.3 million farmers in Vietnam have embraced this innovative farming method, producing more rice and earning extra income for their families. Oxfam has been helping promote SRI in Vietnam for nearly six years, and has made possible the ongoing training of farmers in the methods.
"It's a smart investment needed to lift people out of poverty and to boost the national economy," says Ngo Tien Dung, Deputy Director General of the Plant Protection Department in Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture.
SRI practices involve five simple steps including soil preparation, plant and water management. Farmers who use SRI transplant seedlings earlier and space them individually and in square patterns farther apart to reduce competition for light, water, and nutrients.
"I save quite a lot on seeds and fertilizers," Khuong says. "Before I used almost 50 kg (110 pounds) of seeds for the two paddy fields, but now I use only 4 or 5 kg because with SRI, I transplant only one and sometimes two seedlings per hill instead of bunches of them."
Robust root systems, bigger and healthier plants grow more grains of rice. Khuong now produces 2.7 metric tons of rice from her two paddy fields, as compared to just 1.8 tons grown with conventional methods, a 50 percent increase.
"I'm very pleased with the results, and I've stop worrying now," she says.
According to the Plant Protection Department, farmers who use SRI significantly reduce the use of chemicals, thus growing healthier food, improving soil quality, and protecting farm biodiversity. On average, SRI farmers increase their yield by 500 kilograms (1,110 pounds), and earn extra income of $130 per hectare in just one cropping season (a hectare is just under 2.5 acres). This is a significant sum in a country where average income is around $1,200.
SRI was recently honored with the National Golden Rice Award for making positive changes in the life of over a million Vietnamese farmers.
The award is an initiative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to honor major contributions to sustainable agriculture and rural development. Fifty-six winners were selected from across Vietnam for the first biennial Golden Rice Awards, which took place in November.
SRI was the first recipient at the Golden Rice Awards ceremony, and was recognized as an innovation that helped to revitalize sustainable food production, improving food and income security for small-scale farmers in Vietnam.
"We need to build the momentum for SRI extension over the coming years," says Ngo Tien Dung of the Plant Protection Department, who received the award for the Department's outstanding work in promoting the farming method.
The benefits of SRI go beyond increasing yield and reducing input costs. According to a report by Africare, Oxfam, and World Wildlife Fund, SRI practices have contributed to the reduction of greenhouse gases released from agricultural activities.
By improving nutrient use efficiency, farmers reduce the use of water, fertilizers, herbicide and pesticide, resulting in reduced emissions of methane, one of the most prevalent and dangerous greenhouse gases.
Farmers also reported positive change in community relations as a result of using these techniques. SRI farmers—most of them are women—learn together and help each other in the fields. This practice has created a culture of mutual support in rural communities.
Oxfam has been supporting organizations promoting SRI in Vietnam since 2006, working closely with officials of the Plant Protection Department, and recruiting local farmers to train others. These local experts formed a core of SRI proponents and formed Farmer Field Schools that grew demonstration plots and promoted the techniques.
Because farmers who try SRI see results almost immediately, the number of SRI farmers increased five-fold from 2009 to 1.3 million in 2012.
]]>This year, over 18 million people in the Sahel region of West Africa were affected by a severe food crisis caused by drought, a failure of several crops, and sharp rises in food prices. The lives of over 1 million children were at risk from severe malnutrition. Communities across the Sahel suffered (and malnutrition rates remain dangerously high) but a major humanitarian operation, acting earlier than ever before, managed to protect the lives and livelihoods of millions of people.
Oxfam played a major part in this effort. We provided urgently needed assistance to over 1 million people throughout the year. Over 600,000 of our supporters worldwide joined us in campaigning to raise the alarm and to mobilize the international community into action.
At the end of 2012, good rainfall and better harvests have provided some relief. Cereal production is 13 percent higher than last year, but this does not mean the crisis is over. Food prices remain high and many farmers were unable to take advantage of the better rains to plant their crops. Malnutrition rates for children remain above emergency levels in many parts of the region. Millions of people still require sustained support to recover from the crisis, to rebuild their assets and livelihoods, and to be able to support their families.
As well as dealing with the immediate challenges of helping people recover, we need to work together to tackle the underlying causes of food crises in the Sahel. Even when the harvests are good, 230,000 children die of malnutrition-related causes each year. Oxfam is dedicated to supporting small-scale farmers so they can produce more food, supporting the incomes of the poorest people through cash-for-work programs, and building systems of food reserves. These are just some of ways we can help to build the resilience of communities to future shocks, and avoid crises in the future.
]]>Organized by the Alliance for the Defense of Rural Women's Rights and Oxfam's GROW campaign, the San Salvador event was an opportunity for women like Henríquez, a mother and small farmer, to present their demands to members of the National Assembly and government officials.
What Henríquez is fighting for is good and healthy food for her and her family, and a sustainable way of producing it.
"If I have food security, I have it all: a variety of healthy food, land, physical health—my children and grandchildren won't fall sick because they eat healthy— and education," said Henríquez. "To me, sovereignty is the guarantee we have to food security [and to] be the owners of our land, our lives."
Thanks to the training she has received from different institutions, Henríquez now knows how to make organic fertilizer, conserve soil, and work with bees to make honey.
She also benefits from a government program that provides the poorest families with about 100 pounds of fertilizer and two pounds corn seeds. But from Henríquez' point of view, that doesn't add up to food security, because when the program ends, the situation will be the same as before. What rural women need, she said, are native seeds which will guarantee sustainability by not only producing crops, but a new round of seeds for planting the following season.
Seed variety isn't her only worry. Small farmers like Henríquez also face severe challenges from increasingly unpredictable weather.
"This year we lost our crops because of the drought. Last year we lost the whole bean crop because of Tropical Depression 12E," said Henríquez. That storm dumped five feet of rain in nine days. "I took a loan to invest again, and when this (the drought) happened, I was crying because I didn't know how to pay back the loan. Thank God the bank came to study my case and canceled my loan."
Despite the hurdles she and her fellow rural farmers are confronting, Henríquez is confident that all the work they do as part of Alliance for the Defense of Rural Women's Rights will bear fruit.
"If we go back to using native seeds, we can produce more and more permanently," she said." If we have irrigation systems to store water for the dry season, if we have access to information to what is happening in our country—economy, education, health—access to knowledge about soil conservation and how to conserve the environment, than we will have everything we're all longing for: a dignified live and health."
Henríquez speaks with the authority of an empowered and independent woman. She is convinced that by speaking out and engaging in the fight for women's rights, change will come.
"Even if I don't get to see the changes I'm fighting for, others will, and that gives me great satisfaction," she said.
]]>Last year thousands voted via mobile phones for the winners of Tanzania's national competition, whose stories were shared with about 25 million people via TV and the media. This year's winners will also be determined by public voting, and will be announced on World Food Day, October 16.
Below, Oxfam's Mwanahamisi Salimu profiles one of Tanzania's 15 Female Food Hero finalists, Sister Martha Waziri. Read about the other finalists on Oxfam's East Africa blog.
Everywhere I travel in Tanzania I meet women who work the land, but are unable to own or inherit it because of cultural restrictions. In Kondoa district in Dodoma I met a remarkable woman, Sister Martha Waziri, who was determined to change this.
Now 45 years old, Martha began her campaign to reclaim land in 1984. As a young woman she began her calling in the Catholic Church, enrolling in Catholic schools but forced to drop out three times due to ill health. Disheartened and landless, and with no hope of inheriting land from her parents, she saw a possibility to claim a wide sand-ridden seasonal furrow on the border of her village.
The land was completely barren and none of the men wanted it. But not everyone shared 17-year-old Martha's vision, and when she asked the local authority if she could use it, they laughed at her.
"I became an object of ridicule to other villagers, and when my first attempt to reclaim land failed it was a bonus to them," she recalls.
Eventually, though, she managed to claim 18 acres of that land. As both a farmer and a pastoralist, she now cultivates 9.5 acres of this land, growing sugarcane, maize, sweet potatoes, cassava, bananas, and a variety of beans. She also rears eight goats and 26 chickens.
She has reaped the economic benefits of her initiative, but has also become a beacon of change in the village. More than 300 villagers, organized into five groups, have now emulated her.
Donasian Kassian, a fellow villager, told me: "When we joined Sister Martha in reclaiming sand-ridden furrows, people dubbed us mad. But 28 years ago this place was a huge useless canal. Today we eat sugarcanes, maize and beans from this land."
Following her religious calling, Sister Martha has supported 12 orphans and vulnerable youth over the years. Her farms have secured food for her extended family and generated a reliable income to build 10 rooms that the orphans can call home, and from where they can pursue their dreams.
Sister Martha's success has not been without challenges. She says her first experience of climatic changes was when her fishpond dried up as water levels in the area decreased. She says the land has become increasingly dry, affecting her banana farm most of all.
Sister Martha is not an agro-science expert. She doesn't use high-tech machines. But this extraordinary woman from an ordinary rural community has made a substantial contribution to conserve her environment and made a remarkable difference in the lives of her fellow villagers. I cannot acknowledge her in any better way than to call her a Female Food Hero.
]]>"It is hard not to be able to feed your children," says Adama Diallo. "You can't be at peace. You can't sleep at night."
Diallo, who lives in the village of Tankanto Escale, Senegal, is no stranger to hunger. Each year in the run-up to the fall harvest, those who depend on agriculture experience a lean season, when the last of the stored food runs out and they must cope as best they can—reducing their meals to a minimum while they eke out an uncertain income from day labor, trading, and in some cases mining for flecks of gold.
But this year, the lean season in Senegal—as in much of the western Sahel—began months early, and the consequences have been harsh. More than half a year on a sparse diet of millet and rice has left many children severely and visibly malnourished. And farmers, many of whom have had to sell off their labor-saving equipment and draft animals to buy food, face the difficult task of cultivating crops while hungry and fatigued.
Diallo's own story is not unusual: after the disastrous harvest of 2011, her stocks of food ran out quickly, and she resorted to a hand-to-mouth existence as a trader in the marketplace, beginning each day with no money and only borrowed goods to sell, and ending with—if she was lucky—enough food to get through another day.
"If the food is not sufficient," she says, "we only give it to the children."
Diallo's struggles didn't go unnoticed: Oxfam's partner FODDE (in English, Forum for Sustainable Indigenous Development) included her in a program to distribute cash to the people most in need in this emergency. So recently she traveled to a credit union in the nearest large town, presented her cash voucher card and ID, and received enough money—provided by Oxfam—to feed a household of 10 people for a month (about $8 per person).
Why distribute cash rather than food during a food crisis?
It is a surprising fact that in the midst of a food crisis, marketplaces may be overflowing with food. In the Kolda market, for example, which serves Tankanto Escale, some local farmers – despite the crop failures—have managed to gather or grow a few items for sale. They ran out of rice months ago, but traders have filled that gap and many others by importing goods from other regions.
As long as food is available, there's no need for an aid provider to undertake the costly and time-consuming process of shipping it in. Yet people who have lost their harvest—and with it their main source of income—may not be able to afford the food that's there. For that, they need cash.
Cash payments quickly go to work in the local markets, benefiting not only the people who receive the money directly but also the local farmers and vendors they buy from.
And cash provides flexibility. A food distribution might involve fixed rations of beans and grains—the non-perishables that can travel long distances— but people who receive cash can buy a variety of foods, including eggs, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Furthermore, those who have pressing medical concerns can make the choice to spend some of their money on doctors and medicines.
So in southern Senegal and some of the other crisis-affected regions, Oxfam is focusing not on providing food but on providing the means to purchase the foods and critical services that are available locally.
Diallo used her first payment to buy rice, soap, and cooking oil. "Once we received the cash, there was a big change," she says. "Before, we ate twice a day, but never enough. The children ate three times a day, but it never filled them. After the payment, there was enough for everyone."
The money not only helped her meet immediate needs—it released her from the daily imperative of earning money in the marketplace, so she has had a chance to plant her fields. Which means that if this season's promising rains continue, she will likely have a harvest in October or November that will help her get back on her feet.
"Now I have peace," she said, "and I am sleeping well."

]]>On distribution day in the village of Louga, women and children sat patiently, waiting for their names to be called as workers carefully measured each family's allotment. Here, every grain is precious. Though Oxfam has selected the most vulnerable villagers to receive the food—widows, divorcees, and people caring for orphans—in reality the sorely needed calories will be shared widely among many. It's one of the survival strategies common in Louga, where the homes sit close together along dusty paths and the temperature soars to 104 degrees.
"Solidarity here in this community is very strong," says Khadidja Idriss, a mother of six children. She shared with 10 other families some of the food she received on distribution day, which included 75 pounds of corn, 9 to 11 pounds of beans, a little more than two quarts of oil, and close to a pound of salt.
"My neighbors have virtually nothing either, but they will even feed my children if I'm out. We help each other, regardless of how little we have," Idriss says. "This is how we survive."
Before the distribution, Idriss , who suffers from increasing pain in her legs, had been struggling to find enough food for her family. Meals consisted of corn flour mixed with water, and a sauce made from leaves gathered by her children.
"The children often don't manage to sleep and they cry because they are hungry," said Idriss. "Sometimes I have no words of comfort for my children. I boil water with a bit of salt for them to drink, which will fill them up."
But there is no comfort like food, and when Idriss learned that her family had been selected for the distribution, she could hardly wait to convey the news.
"I told my children straight away and they were so happy and joyful and haven't talked about anything else since," she said.
The day before the distribution, a neighborhood child, propped near the doorway of Adoaga Ousmane's home, chewed on a pit from a piece of fruit . The fruit was long gone, but the chewing helped stave off hunger. For Ousmane, caring for a house full of children and grandchildren, hunger has been no stranger. Her family, too, was among those selected to receive the monthly rations. And like Idriss, her share went far beyond her own threshold.
"I shared the food I received with three other families," said Ousmane. "I can't eat my food while other people go hungry. We always share if we can. There is a strong feeling of solidarity in the village. I have to help others who are in need as they would help me if I asked."

I'm new to this, but I decided to go for it for my next cutting.
It's my best bet cause doesn't need pct and should be stronger than EC I did in past.
I would run 2 weeks Albuterol, 2 weeks ECY, 2 weeks Albuterol.
I know the dosage and timing of ECY, but don't the ones for Albuterol (I looked around but lots of different opinions).
How are the guidelines? Where do you suggest to get it?
My stats: 6", 174lbs, 9%bf
Thx guys

I just got this New DCWV Great Vacation Stack and the papers are just so fun and cheerful that I had to find a way to use the little airplane paper. I want to use the paper with the jets on it for actual airport photos, but the little plane made me think of Goofys Barnstormer at the Magic Kingdom. And the clouds are just fun to layer with foam squares. I cut apart a little journaling block and attached it at the top and bottom of the photo mat. The Goofy is cut from DCWV cardstock and coordinating papers using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.
I have a little tip - when you are using papers with glossy or glittery accents like the foil and gloss on these papers, don't forget that you need a truly permanent marker that is meant to write on glossy surfaces. I tried to use my fine point sharpie and guess what? that did not dry at all! I am sure there are other options, but I recommend the American Crafts Slick Writer markers.
Did you know that Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland is getting a huge expansion so they have taken out Mickey's ToonTown Fair to make room. I will miss Mickey and Minnie's houses but I just cant wait to see the new Fantasyland, it looks like it will be amazing. The good news is that the Barnstormer is going to be updated. I hope this is code for LONGER ride. LOL! Did you know that if you start timing when you actually take off on the ride, its 16 seconds long? How crazy is that? I mean if you count getting in and out of the vehicle its about a minute. It's a fun little ride but waiting in a queue for 20 min for a 16 second ride is not cool. Still I am glad we have photos because its really cute and fun.

Fundamentals of Facebook Recruiting
The essence of great recruiting is to fish where the fish are. As times change, the 'recruiting waters' get overfished. This is what makes the profession so highly flexible. Over the course of a decade, the success of one technique creates the demand for the next.
More than any other corporate function, recruiting involves adaptation to rapidly changing markets. Companies that shift their methods with the times thrive. Companies that don't, wither.
In 2012, that means learning how to use social media as a part of your recruiting effort. In a few short years, the center of the Internet moved from static sites to the more vibrant and interactive universe of online networks. Job Boards give way to social media as users are migrate to the new world.
Here are a few stats that put the story in perspective:
- 23% of all hours spent online are spent on a social media site[1].
- 80% of all Internet users are members of at least one social network[2]
- 66% of all Americans use a social network[3]
- 25% of all American internet traffic is on Facebook alone[4]
We've released a new White Paper, "Facebook Recruiting Basics: A Guide to 21st Century Employment Branding. It lays out the core principles you need to understand in order to recruit effectively on Facebook. Download it here.

No question - except when?
H5N1 flu virus could put millions at risk Thomas Inglesby, CEO and director of the Center for Biosecurity of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, asked the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week. The result would be millions dead and even more at risk for contracting the deadly flu. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Seasonal flu affects 10 to 20 percent of the world every year--as much as a billion people or more," Inglesby says. "The case fatality rate of wild H5N1 in the WHO database is nearly 60 percent, as you indicated. So if a strain of H5N1 with that fatality rate were engineered to spread like seasonal flu, hundreds of millions of people's lives would be at risk. Even a strain a hundred times less fatal would place at risk millions of people's lives." Concern has grown recently over advances in the field of biotechnology, in which scientists have created synthetic viruses in laboratories. Inglesby says that mistakes can be made in laboratories, like the one in 1977 when "H1N1 caused a mini-pandemic, probably from a lab escape. "Nine years ago during SARS, there were at least three incidents in which researchers working in BL-3 or BL-4 labs in Singapore, Taiwan and China accidentally infected themselves with SARS," Inglesby said. "We have to factor the possibility of human error, surprise and accidents into our calculations of the risk of this research," he added. http://www.catholic.org/health/story.php?id=45969 |

Michelle Pfeiffer says in a new interview that hearing former President Bill Clinton talk about his health journey helped her to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
The 54-year-old actress tells Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Monday's edition of "Piers Morgan Tonight" that watching his documentary, "The Last Heart Attack," gave her plenty of food for thought.
"I was finishing up working on, I think it was 'Dark Shadows,'" she says. "And I was watching CNN, and 'The Last Heart Attack' came on."
As she was watching the documentary, which explores preventative measures for heart disease, it was Clinton's story that really hit home.
Pfeiffer, who considers herself to also be a "foodie," watched Clinton and said, "OK, Bill Clinton loves food, so there must be something to it that's making him stick to it. And also, he's smart, so he's not going to do something unless he really thinks there's some science behind it."
After reading more on the topic, Pfeiffer says her mind was made up.
"I just felt like...there was science behind it," she says. "And, you know, it was sort of irrefutable. ... I couldn't not listen to it. My father died from cancer, and the older you get, there's a lot of disease around you. And you see people struggling with chronic disease. You see people dying with terminal illnesses. And if in any way .... this is true, then you kind of have to listen to it."
Pfeiffer says she's enjoying the vegan diet, seeing that she's someone who loves carbs, and she has her husband of 19 years, David E. Kelley, making the effort as well.
The older she gets, Pfeiffer says of her views on diet, the more her focus and intent is geared toward living a longer life.
"Vanity is right under there," she admits, "but I have to say that it's a close second with wanting to live long."
Watch the full interview with Michelle Pfeiffer when she stops by "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9 p.m. ET.

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. It is designed to give developers and businesses an extremely reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) – such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, an Amazon CloudFront distribution, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket – and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.
Much like a phone book, the Internet's DNS system manages mapping between names and numbers. In DNS's case, the names are domain names (www.example.com) that are easy for your users to remember. Instead of phone numbers, in DNS, these names are mapped to IP addresses (192.0.2.1) that specify the location of computers on the Internet. Route 53 performs two DNS functions. First, it lets you manage the IP addresses listed for your domain names in the Internet's DNS phone book. These listings are called DNS "records." Second, like a directory assistance service, Route 53 answers requests to translate specific domain names into their corresponding IP addresses. These requests are called "queries."
Route 53 is designed to be fast, easy to use, and cost-effective. It answers DNS queries with low latency by using a global network of DNS servers. Queries for your domain are automatically routed to the nearest DNS server, and thus answered with the best possible performance. With Route 53, you can create and manage your public DNS records with the AWS Management Console or with an easy-to-use API. It's also integrated with other Amazon Web Services. For instance, by using the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service with Route 53, you can control who in your organization can make changes to your DNS records. Like other Amazon Web Services, there are no long-term contracts or minimum usage requirements for using Route 53 – you pay only for managing domains through the service and the number of queries that the service answers.
Amazon Route 53 has a simple web-services interface that lets you get started in minutes. Your DNS records are organized into "hosted zones" that you configure with Route 53's API. To use Route 53, you simply:
To transfer your domain from another DNS service to Route 53, you:
By following these few simple steps, you'll be able to set up your DNS entries and have Route 53 answering queries for your web application in just a few minutes. See our Technical Documentation for more detailed information about the Route 53 service and APIs.
Highly Available and Reliable Route 53 is built using AWS's highly available and reliable infrastructure. The distributed nature of our DNS servers helps ensure a consistent ability to route your end users to your application. Route 53 is designed to provide the level of dependability required by important applications. Amazon Route 53 is backed by the Amazon Route 53 Service Level Agreement.
Scalable Route 53 is designed to automatically scale to handle very large query volumes without any intervention from you.
Designed for use with other Amazon Web Services Route 53 is designed to work well with other AWS features and offerings. You can use Route 53 to map domain names to your Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon CloudFront distributions, and other AWS resources. By using the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service with Route 53, you get fine grained control over who can update your DNS data. You can use Route 53 to map your zone apex (example.com versus www.example.com) to your Elastic Load Balancing instance, Amazon CloudFront distribution, or Amazon S3 website bucket using a feature called Alias record.
Simple With self-service sign-up, Route 53 can start to answer your DNS queries within minutes. You can configure your DNS settings with the AWS Management Console or our easy-to-use API. You can also programmatically integrate the Route 53 API into your overall web application. For instance, you can use Route 53's API to create a new DNS record whenever you create a new EC2 instance.
Fast Using a global anycast network of DNS servers around the world, Route 53 is designed to automatically route your users to the optimal location depending on network conditions. As a result, the service offers low query latency for your end users, as well as low update latency for your DNS record management needs.
Cost-Effective Route 53 passes on the benefits of AWS's scale to you. You pay only for managing domains through the service and the number of queries that the service answers for each of your domains, at a low cost and without minimum usage commitments or any up-front fees.
Secure By integrating Route 53 with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can grant unique credentials and manage permissions for every user within your AWS account and specify who has access to which parts of the Route 53 service.
Flexible Route 53 offers Weighted Round-Robin (WRR), also known as DNS load balancing. This lets you assign weights to your DNS records that specify what portion of your traffic is routed to various endpoints.
Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate your monthly bill using the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.
$0.50 per hosted zone / month for the first 25 hosted zones
$0.10 per hosted zone / month for additional hosted zones
The monthly hosted zone prices listed above are not prorated for partial months. A hosted zone is charged upon set-up and on the first day of each subsequent month. To allow testing, a hosted zone that is deleted within 12 hours of creation is not charged; however, any queries on that zone will be charged at the rates below.
Need more than 100 hosted zones? Please contact us.
$0.500 per million queries – first 1 Billion queries / month
$0.250 per million queries – over 1 Billion queries / month
$0.750 per million queries – first 1 Billion queries / month
$0.375 per million queries – over 1 Billion queries / month
The query prices listed above are prorated; for instance, a hosted zone with 100,000 standard queries would be charged $0.050 and a hosted zone with 100,000 Latency Based Routing queries would be charged $0.075.
Queries to Alias records that are mapped to Elastic Load Balancers, Amazon CloudFront distributions, and Amazon S3 website buckets are free. These queries are listed as "Intra-AWS-DNS-Queries" on the Amazon Route 53 usage report.
$0.50 per health check / month for endpoints within AWS
$0.75 per health check / month for endpoints outside of AWS
Free for the first 50 health checks of AWS endpoints that are within or linked to an AWS account
The monthly health check prices listed above are prorated for partial months.
Need more than 50 health checks? Please contact us.
New and existing customers can get started with DNS Failover by receiving free health checks for up to 50 AWS endpoints that are within or linked to their AWS account. The free offer of 50 health checks (the "Offer") is subject to the AWS Customer Agreement and is a Special Pricing Program under the AWS Customer Agreement. The Offer only applies to endpoints located within AWS that are owned or controlled by the same AWS account as the health check or are billed to the same paying account as the health check. You also will be charged AWS's standard rates for any use that exceeds the free usage amount provided under the Offer. Unused usage amounts remaining at the end of the Offer term do not roll over. When calculating your use of AWS services under the Offer, we will aggregate your use across all AWS regions.
An "AWS endpoint" is defined as a resource running within AWS, for example an Amazon EC2 instance. Health checks of Amazon ELB and Amazon S3 website bucket endpoints are provisioned automatically by AWS. You are not billed for health checks of ELB or S3 website bucket endpoints. ELB and S3 website bucket endpoints are available for no additional charge as part of Route 53.
The prices above are exclusive of applicable taxes, fees, or similar governmental charges, if any exist, except as otherwise noted.
Developer Resources |
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a globally distributed service that is foundational to the way people use the Internet. DNS uses a hierarchical name structure, and different levels in the hierarchy are each separated with a dot ( . ). Consider the domain names www.amazon.com and aws.amazon.com. In both these examples, "com" is the Top-Level Domain and "amazon" the Second-Level Domain. There can be any number of lower levels (for example, "www" and "aws") below the Second-Level Domain. Computers use the DNS hierarchy to translate human readable names like www.amazon.com into the IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to one another.
Route 53 is an "authoritative DNS" system. An authoritative DNS system provides an update mechanism that developers use to manage their public DNS names. It then answers DNS queries, translating domain names into IP address so computers can communicate with each other.
The name for our service (Route 53) comes from the fact that DNS servers respond to queries on port 53 and provide answers that route end users to your applications on the Internet. In the future, we will add additional routing capabilities to Route 53 to better help your users find the best way to your website or application.
Route 53 provides a simple set of APIs that make it easy to create and manage DNS records for your domains. You can call these directly; all this functionality can also be accessed via the AWS Management Console. For a full list of the available Route 53 APIs, please see the Amazon Route 53 API Reference Guide. Some of the most commonly used APIs and their functionality are listed below:
Route 53 uses a global network of DNS servers at a series of world-wide locations to offer you high availability and increased performance. Route 53 uses the following locations:
United StatesWith Route 53, you don't have to pay any upfront fees or commit to the number of queries the service answers for your domain. Like other Amazon Web Services, you pay as you go, and only for what you use:
Your monthly bill from AWS will list your total usage and dollar amount for the Amazon Route 53 service separately from other AWS services.
Your use of this service is subject to the Amazon Web Services Customer Agreement.
