Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
All Things Bright and Beautiful
"All Things Bright and Beautiful," Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 231
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
1. Each little flow'r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings:
2. The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brighten up the sky:
3. The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them ev'ry one:
4. The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather ev'ry day:
For a shortened version, sing the refrain at the beginning and end only.
Words: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818–1895

text: Home Culture The Root Interview: Michael C. Martin and 'Brooklyn's Finest' How a totaled car + a wrecked back = Hollywood success for a former subway worker. By: Shirea L. Carroll Posted: March 5 2010 7:34 AM 0 Getty Images When it comes to success, some find it through persistance and perseverance; others stumble upon it by simply being at the right place at the right time. But for Michael C. Martin, a former MTA worker, his big break came in the form of a major car crash. Martin, 30, originally from East New York, Brooklyn, was a former film student with Hollywood dreams. Life intervened; he ended up working as a subway flagger for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Until, that is, Martin seriously injured his back in a 2005 car accident. To make some extra cash, he entered a screenwriting contest, hoping he'd snare the $10,000 prize. He lost. Through an unlikely chain of events, in less than three years, Martin went from toiling in subway tunnels to working on Hollywood sets. His debut film, Brooklyn's Finest, starring Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes and Richard Gere, captures the volatile and deadly world of the roughest precincts through the eyes of three conflicted NYPD officers. (It opens this weekend.) How he finally got to the big screen might strain credulity, Martin says, but really, luck had nothing to do with it. The Root: Your story is incredible. Describe your life before Brooklyn's Finest. Michael C. Martin: In high school, I lucked into this film class, and it stirred up a passion. [After graduation] I didn't receive any amazing film scholarships, so instead I became a working man. Still trying to make my dreams to happen, I attended film school, never, however, to be a screenwriter. I studied movies; my plans were always to direct short films. After getting into my car accident in 2005, not having a car kept me from directing. TR: When it hurts enough not to have it, you'll find a way to get it, yes? MCM: Exactly, I needed a car. In 2006, I saw a screenwriting contest online, I entered solely to get the money. While I was in rehab for my back, the story finally all came together, handed it in on the very last day possible—and lost. I did become a finalist, but I definitely didn't win. A few months later, I met a producer named Jeanne O'Brien, who got a hand on my story and helped put me in a position to get a movie made. [Initially,] the script was submitted to Thunder Road Pictures to be used as a proposal/sample for me to write New Jack City 2. But they read Brooklyn's Finest, liked it, and sent it to the executive producer for Training Day, who then sent it to director Antoine Fuqua. After that, it pretty much took off from there. TR: Wow, but how did the story, 'all come together'? MCM: Brooklyn's Finest came about because my roommate at the time had just joined the police academy, and he was constantly telling me stories. One of which was when he wasn't yet a cop, and he had decided to make a citizen's arrest for people selling porn tapes to underage kids. He got chewed up by his higher-ups, who said it wasn't his business. It gave me an idea for a story: Police officers trying to do the right thing, but being told they are better off doing the wrong thing. I never wrote the Brooklyn's Finest script for it to ever be made into movie. I wrote the script from the perspective of, 'I'm from Brooklyn; I'm writing about people I know and things I know.' The situations, the dialouge ... that is what people respond to. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

AC/DC Bassist Cliff Williams Lists Two Homes
Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping
AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams is selling two of his properties. The Wall Street Journal reports that Williams has listed his Savannah, Georgia townhouse and a Fort Myers, Florida home. The Georgia townhouse is a restored home that was originally built in 1872. Williams and his wife bought the home in 2006 for $1.5 million to stay there while they visited their son who attended college in the area. They spent over a year renovating the four-bedroom home and added an English pub-style bar. The three-story townhouse has a side garden and a carriage house with two bedrooms. There are five garage spaces. This home is listed at $1.95 million.
The couple is also selling a four-bedroom home in Fort Myers, Florida. That home is a two-story Mediterranean-style home with a courtyard in Edgewater of Gulf Harbour. This home has a outdoor kitchen with gas grill and bonus soundproof music studio/exercise/hobby room over garage. The courtyard lanai includes a woodburning fireplace with a gas starter and the pool is screened in. The home is prepared for storm season with a whole house backup generator with 500 gallon propane tank, as well as new impact windows. It is listed at $1.375 million and the listing says that the furniture can also be purchased.

Tomato and Goats' Cheese GalettesGalettes are very thin discs of flaky pastry which, unlike conventional tarts, have no sides. The concept is a good one because the pastry is barely there, yet it gives a light, very crisp background to all kinds of toppings, both savoury and sweet. There's no limit to what you can put on top of them – the combinations are endless, and you can serve them for a light lunch, as a first course, on a picnic or for a dessert. What I often do is freeze the pastry circles raw, interleaved with foil or greaseproof paper, so you can just whip some out for an impromptu meal any old time at all. If you don't have the right-sized cutter, just cut around a saucer of the same size. This galette recipe calls for lovely ripe red tomatoes for colour, and the preferred cheese in our house is Crottin de Chavignol, but any firm goats' cheese will do.
Serves 3 as a light lunch or 6 as a first course This recipe is taken from Delia's Vegetarian Collection. |
MethodMake the pastry and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, you need to skin the tomatoes, so pour boiling water over them and leave for exactly 1 minute before draining and slipping off the skins (protect your hands with a cloth if they are too hot). Next, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry very thinly to 1/8 inch (3 mm), cut out six 6 inch (15 cm) discs and place these on the baking sheets. Now scatter the large basil leaves over the pastry, tearing them first if they're very large. Next, thinly slice the tomatoes and arrange them in circles overlapping each other on top of the basil. Peel the goats' cheese and crumble it over the tomatoes, then pour some olive oil on to a saucer and dip the reserved basil leaves in it, placing one on each tart. Then season well and drizzle each one with a little extra olive oil. Now bake the galettes in the oven, one tray on a high shelf, the other on the next one down, for 10-12 minutes or until the tomatoes are tinged brown and the cheese is bubbling, swapping the baking sheets over halfway through. Serve warm straight from the oven, or they're still excellent cold, cooled on a wire tray.

9:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center
9603 Woods Drive
Skokie, IL 60077
Nomination Guidelines Available here
Join us for an inspiring day as students from across the Chicago area work together on engaging activities to build leadership skills and explore their roles as citizens of their local and global communities. Students will also spend time in Make a Difference! The Harvey L. Miller Family Youth Exhibition learning about empathy, respect, and the power of one voice to take a stand for positive change.
Keynote Speaker:
Olivia Rusk
Stand Up! Day features a keynote address by teen author and activist Olivia Rusk. Fifteen year old Olivia is totally bald due to the medical condition, alopecia. When she was only 8 years old, she shed her custom wig and bravely marched into her third grade classroom without hair. That day changed her life forever. What began as Olivia's desire to be "herself" quickly evolved into Olivia's message that "It's Okay to be Different." For more information on Olivia, visit www.oliviascause.org.

The Geminids will begin to appear noticeably more numerous in the hours after 10 p.m. local time, because the shower's radiant is already fairly high in the eastern sky by then. The best views, however, come around 2 a.m., when their radiant point will be passing very nearly overhead. The higher a shower's radiant, the more meteors it produces all over the sky.
But keep this in mind: at this time of year, meteor watching can be a long, cold business. You wait and you wait for meteors to appear. When they don't appear right away, and if you're cold and uncomfortable, you're not going to be looking for meteors for very long!
The late Henry Neely, who for many years served as a lecturer at New York's Hayden Planetarium, once had this to say about watching for the Geminids: "Take the advice of a man whose teeth have chattered on many a winter's night — wrap up much more warmly than you think is necessary."
Hot cocoa or coffee can take the edge off the chill, as well as provide a slight stimulus. It's even better if you can observe with friends. That way, you can keep each other awake, as well as cover more sky. Give your eyes time to dark-adapt before starting.
Geminids stand apart from the other meteor showers in that they seem to have been spawned not by a comet, but by 3200 Phaethon, an Earth-crossing asteroid. Then again, the Geminids may be comet debris after all, for some astronomers consider Phaeton to really be the dead nucleus of a burned-out comet that somehow got trapped into an unusually tight orbit.

Engineers, scientists and other supposed great-thinkers don't often make for interesting copy. Centrifuges, remote sensors, pressure valves and biopsies don't bring smiles to most people's faces, unless of course, you're my mom, who never met a biopsy she couldn't fret over, going back to Marcus Welby, M.D. To those who don't understand, like or appreciate scientific thought, even MacGyver is mundane and hopelessly highbrow.
Like all things these days, however, anything is fodder for new media hijinks and in recent years, folks like Bill Nye the Science Guy have brought hair-brain science to the masses in creative ways that get people thinking, if only to reminisce about times long ago spent blowing up their neighbor's mailbox or bird-house. As the dawn of man has morphed into the dawn of YouTube, we can all agree, explosions are always cool to watch. Lectures on thermodynamics are not.
One particularly fascinating piece highlighted the work of Kinetic sculptor and artist Theo Jansen and his "strandbeests," giant wind-powered creatures 40 feet in length, made exclusively of pvc tubing, that march along Dutch beaches like mechanical caterpillars. The contraptions are part mouse-trap, part genius – watching his most recent creation is mesmerizing.
The compilation, available on Blu-ray Disc and DVD, also includes a rather nifty special extra feature – six segments demonstrating how to make your own contraptions at home. The mini-segments break down in great detail how to build an air rock, a wind-powered sprinkler and four other ingenious little projects sure to keep you out of trouble and annoy your pets and neighbors.
All in all, a rather ingenious series that puts a bit of whimsy and "cool" into the world of science, contraptions and the mankind's need to tinker.

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Guyana is a developing nation on the north coast of South America. Tourist facilities are generally not developed, except for a few hotels in the capital city of Georgetown and a limited number of eco-resorts. The vast majority of Guyanese nationals live along the coast, leaving the interior largely unpopulated and undeveloped. Travel in the interior of Guyana can be difficult; many interior regions can only be reached by plane or boat, and the limited roads are often impassable in the rainy seasons. Read more about U.S. relations with Guyana.
SMART TRAVELER ENROLLMENT PROGRAM (STEP) / EMBASSY LOCATION: If you are going to live or visit Guyana, please take the time to tell our Embassy about your trip. If you enroll, we can keep you up to date with important safety and security announcements. It will also help your friends and family get in touch with you in an emergency. Here's the link to the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
The U.S. Embassy in Georgetown
100 Young & Duke Streets
Georgetown, Guyana
Telephone: 011-592-225-4900
Emergency after-hours telephone: 011-592-623-1992
Facsimile: 011-592- 227-0221
ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: You will need a valid U.S. passport to enter and depart Guyana. On arrival, Guyanese Immigration normally grants U.S. visitors a stay of thirty days. When traveling to Guyana you should ensure that your passport has at least six months of remaining validity. You may request an extension from the Ministry of Home Affairs at 60 Brickdam Street, Georgetown. The Central Office of Immigration, located on Camp Street, Georgetown, must also note the extension in your passport. If your purposes are other than tourism, you should check with the Ministry of Home Affairs for information about requirements for work permits and extended stays. If you are a U.S.-Guyanese dual national departing Guyana for the United States using a Guyanese passport, you must present to Guyanese authorities a U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization, or other document establishing that you may legally enter the United States. U.S. citizens with dual nationality are not eligible for U.S. visas and must use their U.S. passports to enter and depart the United States. For further information about entry, exit and customs requirements, you may consult the Embassy of Guyana at 2490 Tracy Place NW, Washington, DC 20008, telephone (202) 265-6900, the Consulate General in New York, or honorary consuls in California, Florida, Ohio, and Texas. Visit the Embassy of Guyana website for the most current visa information.
The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Guyana.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Demonstrations and protests are rare in Georgetown. Past demonstrations have not been directed at U.S. citizens, and violence against U.S. citizens in general is not common. You should nevertheless remain alert and take prudent personal security measures to deal with the unexpected while in Guyana. It is advisable to avoid areas where crowds have congregated and to maintain a low profile when moving about Georgetown and other Guyanese locales. As with any elections, demonstrations and protests can occur. The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens to be cautious and vigilant, particularly near any sites associated with political activity.
Most major eco-tourist resorts and hotels in Guyana do not have written emergency plans in place, and many of them have safety deficiencies, including a lack of easily identifiable lifeguards, or none at all. Many of these resorts also do not have adequately stocked first aid supplies.
Stay up to date on safety and security information:
CRIME: Serious crime, including murder and armed robbery, continues to be a major problem. The murder rate in Guyana is three times higher than the murder rate in the United States.
Armed robberies continue to occur intermittently, especially in major business and shopping districts. Hotel room strong-arm break-ins also occur; you should use caution when opening your hotel room doors and should safeguard any valuables left in hotel rooms. Criminals may act brazenly, and police officers themselves have been the victims of assaults and shootings. When traveling in a vehicle you should keep the doors locked and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Pick pocketing, purse snatching, assault, and robbery can occur in all areas of Georgetown. The sea wall, from east of the Pegasus Hotel extending to Sheriff Street and adjacent areas, has been the site of several crimes; you should avoid these areas after dark. As cars parked in Georgetown have been subject to theft, you are urged to avoid leaving any valuables in vehicles left unattended and are encouraged to lock your vehicles at all times (when in or out of the vehicle). The National Park in Georgetown and the seawall from Sheriff Road to UG Road are frequented by joggers, dog walkers, and families and are generally considered safe during daylight hours but are not recommended at all after dusk.
Petty crimes also occur in the general area of Stabroek Market and to a lesser extent in the area behind Bourda Market. Care should be taken to safeguard personal property when shopping in these markets. The area around St. George's cathedral is known for having pickpockets and should be avoided after dark. Guyana's commercial downtown between Main Street and Water Street from Lamaha Road to Stabroek Market, including "Tiger Bay," is largely deserted outside of business hours and should be avoided after dark. U.S. passports and permanent residency cards are prized by thieves, as they may be used for smuggling and identity theft.
You should avoid walking around Georgetown alone, even in the main areas and especially after dark. Although bandits have been known to attack taxis, they are generally safe and remain the safest means of getting around town and to and from the airport. Only use taxis that are connected to major hotels or are painted yellow. All yellow taxies are registered with the Government of Guyana's licensing office. Exercise constant vigilance, and prior to entering any taxi, make note of the vehicle's license plate. This can be used to track down the driver in the event of being overcharged or if luggage is lost. Do not dress ostentatiously, as there have also been reports of gold chains or other jewelry being snatched off of pedestrians.
Local law-enforcement authorities are generally cooperative but lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. Nevertheless, if you are a victim of crime you are encouraged to contact the police as well as the American Citizens Services Unit of the U.S. Embassy's Consular Section.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, if you purchase them you may also be breaking local law.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate (see the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates). If your passport is stolen we can help you replace it; you will need to present a police report when you come to the Embassy for a new passport. For violent crimes, such as assault and rape, we can help you find appropriate medical care, contact family members or friends and help them send you money if you need it. Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime are solely the responsibility of local authorities, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney if needed.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Guyana is 911.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Guyana, you are subject to its laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal systems can be vastly different than our own. In Guyana you may be taken in for questioning if you don't have your passport with you. It is illegal to take pictures of certain buildings, especially government buildings. Repercussions for driving under the influence result in a fine for the initial offense, a suspension of your license for the second offence and a jail term for succeeding offenses. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not where you are going.
Criminal penalties will vary from country to country. There are also some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the United States. You can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime prosecutable in the United States.
If you break local laws in Guyana, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or prosecution. Persons violating Guyanese laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Guyana are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Incarceration time prior to conviction and sentencing does not count toward time served.
If you are arrested in Guyana, Guyanese authorities are required by the Vienna Convention on Consular Notification to notify the U.S. Embassy of your arrest. If you are concerned the Department of State may not be aware of your situation, you should request that police or prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate of your arrest.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Flights on all airlines can be delayed, rerouted, or canceled without notice. Air travel within Guyana generally depends on demand. On small domestic airlines, flights that are not full may be canceled or passengers may be expected to pay for the empty seats. Travelers to the United States from Guyana have found narcotics planted in their luggage, both in bags registered under their names and in items they were carrying for others. You should not carry any items you did not personally purchase and pack and should take care that no additional bags are registered in your name. Every year several U.S. citizens are arrested at the airport attempting to carry drugs to the United States. Persons arrested usually end up serving lengthy prison sentences in Guyana, as drug laws are strict and pre-trial detention can last for years. In addition, due to the risks of checked baggage being lost, delayed, or rifled through, you should hand carry medications, valuables, and perishable items and make sure to carry a prescription for any medications that you are required to take.
Travel in the interior The interior of the country is largely not policed and emergency services are generally not available. There is no cellular phone reception in much of the interior.
Flooding: There are two main rainy seasons in Guyana (December - January and May - July). However, even at other times of the year, heavy rains are possible and flash flooding can occur. The coastal plain floods occasionally, and there was significant flooding in Greater Georgetown and along the East Coast in January 2005 and in the Mahaica-Mahaicony Abrary area, Canals 1 and 2, on the West Coast Demerara and the Pomeroon River catchment area in January 2006. There was also isolated flooding on the East Coast in early 2009. The incidence of waterborne diseases increases during periods of flooding. Rains are expected to be heavier than normal during the 2011-2012 rainy seasons.
Drinking Water: The water supply system throughout the country should be considered contaminated, and travelers should treat or boil water before consumption, or purchase bottled water.
Changing Currency and Credit Card Use: You should have enough cash or travelers checks to meet your expenses. Although credit cards are accepted at certain institutions in Georgetown, travelers should consider the risk of using credit cards and ATM cards to withdraw cash from an overseas account, due to a high risk of stolen PIN data.
You are advised to exchange currency only with banks, hotels, and licensed money exchange houses ("cambios"). Many foreigners who opt to exchange money on the streets, lured by promises of higher exchange rates, become victims of fraud or receive counterfeit currency. Foreigners have been mugged after completing bank transactions. There is no legal recourse unless the police are successful in apprehending the perpetrator; even then there is no guarantee that the money will be recovered.
Firearms: Guyanese customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning temporary importation into or export from Guyana of items such as firearms. If you plan to take your firearms or ammunition to or through Guyana, you should contact officials at the Embassy of Guyana to learn about local regulations and fully comply with those regulations before traveling. Even innocuous items like jewelry that looks like ammunition could result in arrest. You may consult the U.S. Customs and Border Protection web site for information on importing firearms into the United States.
Wildlife: Many plants and animals common in Guyana are globally threatened or endangered species protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). More information may be found at the CITES web site. The Guyanese Ministry of Agriculture will grant an export permit for taking an exotic bird out of the country only to those persons who have been legally residing in Guyana for more than one year. There have been several U.S. citizens arrested for attempting to leave Guyana carrying birds without having obtained an export permit. If you have legally resided in Guyana for more than a year and would like to take back to the United States any birds or animals, including pets that are listed in CITES Appendices I, II, and III, you must also have an appropriate U.S. import permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). This is a U.S. regulation that applies regardless of distinctions among the three CITES Appendices. You can obtain fact sheets and permit applications from the USFWS Office of Management Authority, Branch of Permits, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203, telephone (703) 358-2104, fax (703) 358-2281.
Accessibility: While in Guyana, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what you find in the United States. The constitution mandates the state to take measures to protect persons with disabilities but there is no law that mandates provision of access for such persons. There is also a lack of appropriate infrastructure that provides access to both public and private facilities.
Special Issues for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Travelers: The laws of Guyana define marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman; there is no explicit protection from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity under the Constitution of Guyana.
Consensual same-sex sexual relations are criminalized in Guyana for men. A male who commits "any act of gross indecency with another male person," if found to be guilty, can be imprisoned for up to a maximum of two years. Anal intercourse is punishable with a maximum sentence of life in prison. There are no laws concerning same-sex sexual activity between women. Although the U.S. Embassy is not aware of any recent arrests or prosecutions for such activities, they remain illegal. It is common for police to use the law to intimidate men who are gay or perceived to be gay. LGBT persons who are victims of crime in Guyana are sometimes afraid to file police reports because they are fearful that charges could be brought against them because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender travelers should read our LGBT Travel Information page.
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical care in Guyana does not meet U.S. standards. Care is available for minor medical conditions, although quality is very inconsistent. Emergency care and hospitalization for major medical illnesses or surgery are very limited, due to a lack of appropriately trained specialists, below standard in-hospital care, and poor sanitation. There are very few ambulances in Guyana. Ambulance service is limited to transportation without any medical care and is frequently not available for emergencies. An MRI (linked to the United States for interpretation) has been installed and is operational, but results may take up to 4 days. It is located on the compound of St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, immediately behind the Embassy on Parade Street.
In the event of an emergency, the number for an ambulance is 913, but this number is not always operational and an ambulance may not be available. You are advised to bring prescription medicine sufficient for your length of stay and should be aware that Guyana's humid climate may affect some medicines. Some prescription medicines (mainly generic rather than name-brand) are available.
Special attention should be paid to HIV/AIDS in Guyana. In addition to elevated infection rates among high-risk populations, such as commercial sex workers, and mobile populations such as miners or loggers, data from the World Health Organization estimate that Guyana has among the highest prevalence rates in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Insect borne illnesses are common and include malaria, dengue, Leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease. Insect precautions and anti-malarial chemoprophylaxis are encouraged. You can find good information on vaccinations and other health precautions, on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
Tuberculosis is an increasingly serious health concern in Guyana. For further information, please consult the CDC's information on TB.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you when you travel. It's very important to find out before you leave whether your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctors' and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy doesn't go with you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out another one for your trip. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a Guyana, you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Guyana is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Driving in Guyana can be potentially very hazardous. The rate of traffic accident fatalities in Guyana is higher than in the United States. Cars, large commercial vehicles, horse drawn carts, bicyclists, motorcycles, free range livestock, stray dogs, pedestrians, aggressive "mini-buses" and sleeping animals all share narrow, poorly maintained roads. Aggressive, speeding vehicles on the same roads with slow-moving vehicles makes driving in Guyana especially dangerous. Driving at unsafe speeds, reckless driving, tail-gating, quick stops without signaling, passing at intersections, and passing on crowded streets is commonplace. Driving at night poses additional concerns as many roads are not lit, some drivers do not lower high beam lights, livestock sleep on the road and many pedestrians congregate by the roadside. You should exercise caution at all times while driving and avoid driving outside of Georgetown at night when possible.
The Traffic Division of Guyana's National Police Force is responsible for road safety but is ill-trained and ill-equipped. The Department of State recommends that Embassy staff travel in groups of two or more vehicles when traveling outside Georgetown.
You are advised to use caution traveling to and from Cheddi Jagan International Airport, especially at night. The Embassy requires its staff to use official vehicles when traveling this route between dusk and dawn due to a combination of most of the aforementioned characteristics of driving in Guyana.
Penalties for drivers involved in an accident resulting in injury or death are severe, including life imprisonment. If involved in an accident, call 911 for police and 913 for an ambulance. Please note that these numbers are not always operational, police may be slow to respond and an ambulance may not be available.
Drivers use the left side of the road in Guyana. Seatbelt use is required by law and is enforced; failure to use a seatbelt when riding in the front seat of any vehicle can result in a fine. There presently are no laws in Guyana concerning use of child car seats, but the use of age-appropriate seats is strongly recommended for child passengers. Both drivers of and passengers on motorcycles must wear protective helmets that meet certain specifications. Talking on cellular telephones while driving is illegal; however, it is legal if a driver uses a hands free set. Mini-buses (small 12- to 15-passenger vans) ply various routes both within and between cities. Mini-bus drivers have come under severe criticism from the government, press, and private citizens for speeding, aggressive and reckless driving, overloading of vehicles, poor vehicle maintenance and repair, and offensive remarks directed at passengers, but little change in their driving behavior has been noted. Mini-buses have been involved in the majority of fatal vehicular accidents in recent years, and official Americans are barred from using them. You should use taxis for transportation.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of the country's national tourist office.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Guyana's Civil Aviation Authority as not being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Guyana's air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
The U.S. Embassy in Guyana wishes to draw attention to information released by the U.S. Embassy in Suriname in regard to Suriname-based airline, Blue Wing. While not based in Guyana, Blue Wing does have flights between Guyana and Suriname. The U.S. Embassy in Suriname has prohibited its employees from using Blue Wing Airlines for official travel on domestic flights within Suriname due to safety concerns arising from the airline's three crashes since 2008, the latest on May 15, 2010.
All three accidents involved Antonov 28 planes. Consequently, the Government of Suriname's Civil Aviation and Safety Authority (CASAS) has grounded all Antonov planes pending further investigation. Blue Wing uses the Antonovs only for domestic flights. Following up on the action taken by CASAS, the U.S. Embassy in Suriname has prohibited the use of Blue Wing Airlines for official domestic travel and advised against its use for personal travel until safety issues are resolved. You should use discretion regarding plans to travel on Blue Wing international flights.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Please see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on intercountry adoption and international parental child abduction

Very Beautiful Bracelet
I bought this bracelet for my sister's birthday because she loves pearls. I know she'll love it. It is a beautiful bracelet and at a good price too.
Incredible value
I don't think you could even get a comparable piece of costume jewelry this nice for the price. Wasn't expecting the best quality pearls, but was pleasantly surprised at the luster, color and relative uniformity in size. Only complaint (and it's minor) is the clasp. It's a little tough to close on your own.
Beautiful bracelet
This bracelet is gorgeous! Very unique and a perfect gift. This is a bracelet that can be worn all the time!
Elegant, loose for small wrist
I enjoy the bracelet. However, I wish there was a way to get it a smaller size for my wrist. It ended up falling off and getting lost because it could be slid off. The clasp is a little hard to do myself.
Exceptional quality. Just the right size for my small wrist. The pearl almost glow..
I loved the bracelet but I had a difficult time with the clasp. I had to have someone help me put it on and take it off. Otherwise, extremely happy.
Great value! Its a Christmas gift, so she hasn't received it yet, but I don't doubt she will love it.
Beautiful. It's a really good value considering the price. I can't wait to wear it in the family photos this year.
Great Value! Looks more expensive than it is! With the fast and efficient service definitely a great buy. My wife loves it!
Loved the design
I liked the look n design of bracelet. The cost n discount was really amazing.
great for the price
Very good value. The pearls were beautiful although the strand itself didn't seem very sturdy. I got them for colleague's farewell and she loved it.
Great for Bridesmaids
Purchased these for a gift for my 8 bridesmaids. I am so pleased with the quality of these for the price. They are beautiful and the pearls are substantially sized enough so they look great on the arm. I can't wait for them to wear them on my wedding day! Good quality for an amazing price.
I purchased this to go with the Baroque Freshwater Pearl Necklace. I love the look and quality of this bracelet.
great gifts
My fiancee bought these as the gifts for her bridemaids-they're great
Perfect Gift for Mom
I bought this bracelet for my Mom for Mother's Day to go with the necklace that I bought her for Christmas. She loved them both!
Bought the bracelet for my 38 yo daughter for Christmas. Risky gift as she is very selective & simple in her jewelry choices. But I had bought an amethyst bracelet for my 1st granddaughter & a pearl bracelet for my 2nd granddaughter (their birthstones) when they were born & wanted a pearl bracelet for my daughter (also her birthstone). She LOVES it! I saw her wear it for special occasions over my 2 week holiday visit (and it reminds her to let the little girls wear their bracelets, too). She liked the color, size & unique shapes of the pearls, as well as the simplicity of design & the look of the clasp. One of my most successful gift choices for her & definitely more special than a gift card (her usual wish).

Mozarts F minor piece for Deym did not gain the title Fantasia until it was arranged for piano duet during the last century. However, it is a totally appropriate name for a piece which is even more fantastic than the machine for which it was created. It begins, rather as Handels Messiah opens, with a serious overture in French style, then there is an Andante worthy of the finest string quartet before the serious overture returns. Both parts of the overture explore the device of fuguea reminder that Mozart had studied the music of Bach. Mozarts technique and invention in this medium rival the mathematical precision which created the interlocking gears of the mechanism for which the Fantasia was written.

With China.
Our next guest thinks that we're not doing enough to compete with China and I want to include.
As guys I stay on top of where visitors warrants but first let's meet Melanie heart.
Policy -- Center for American Progress.
And she is on at -- in Prague on Twitter if you want to follow her Melanie good morning good to see you.
Good morning thank you for having me so first of all tell me what you think the problem is in terms of competing with China.
Well for too early in the energy industry China is targeting clean energy as one of the sectors.
Where the US doesn't yet have a massive leave it.
Said they think they might be able to get the jump on US companies in clean energy technology and come out on top of this market.
If the government gives Chinese companies an edge.
Through her policies such as subsidies that help them lower their manufacturing costs abroad.
Now a lot of US companies are beginning to challenge those policies.
And they're pushing the Obama administration and their represented -- -- and congress.
To do more to keep the playing field level -- -- the US and China and to make sure that is the best technologies that come out on top at the end of the day.
Not the companies with -- best friends in government China.
I want to put some words up on the screen these are some of the ways I thank you talk with one of our producers about how according to American progress how we can become more competitive one as modernizing our basic infrastructure.
Can you go through I don't know if you can see some of these -- can you gotta -- a couple of days.
Sure so the -- is that -- -- next generation technologies in the United States are facing two problems.
One is that they often don't have a level playing field with China.
Another is that they often don't have a level playing feel at home.
Our federal government is directing our hard earned tax dollars towards supporting big oil.
And other fossil fuel companies that already have -- all of their infrastructure and plays and really don't need that extra help.
In reality it's the next generation technologies that need government assistance we need to be doing more to invest in better infrastructure.
And educating aren't educating America's children to be better in math and engineering and science -- that we can compete.
With -- Expertise and talent that's coming out of China we have federal public -- -- -- for with federal policies here are focusing too much.
On the technology in the past -- oil and coal and not enough on investing in the foundations for technologies -- the future that will allow us to keep.
Keep competing and stay on top going forward.
-- -- -- -- joining us this morning talking about ways that we can possibly be more competitive with China.
You see some of them there on the screen with all due respect was -- it sounds like you're talking about doing a whole lot of spending.
And I would just say since you're talking about China and we -- them.
I don't know what trillion dollars -- some number that maybe -- -- might be a huge amount of money.
Who could we maybe also get our financial house in order and that would make us more competitive with China because if you not to service your debt.
You can't for the focus more on those things.
Absolutely and this they're real fact is that we -- -- -- both at the same time.
Because but America is actually spending four billion dollars a year.
And providing subsidies to big oil companies that are already making -- any of money and profits and really don't need extra help so we don't need to.
Take more money from middle class pockets rather we just need to use the money that we have.
And a better way.
We would never send our troops to Iraq and Afghanistan with the technologies from a hundred years ago but our policies are actually geared towards the oil technologies from a hundred years ago rather -- the technologies that we need to remain competitive today -- not about stinging more is about spending smartly.
-- seeded -- joining us on that she's a Republican strategist what are your thoughts.
I think Donald -- right Donald Trump has a way of harping on this issue and I'm glad because he's bringing attention to the fact that these are his words he says China's cruises over all the time.
And might be a little -- Is it how does it.
Spells things -- we get them in the image I.
One -- a level playing field I want us they have the advantage I think that they should not get subsidies I don't think they should get tax breaks.
I think American companies should be rewarded.
For being in our country and not make it cheaper to be in China mean it's not right so I don't -- a level playing field don't want them Hannity and a -- United States have the advantage when it comes.
To the new -- -- gosh let's make it very basic first in a -- why.
To that so we get the advantage is not China right now they still having an achievement in that fundamental energy.
Area so before we spent 500 billion dollars on excellent draft which went nowhere as big waste money let's build the pipeline it lets get the basics down -- -- like you said Harris.
Get our financial house in order what do you -- out about getting the basics down Melanie.
Absolutely agree that we need to get our financial house in order and the best thing that we can do to get our house in order.
It's a stop spending billions of dollars a year on technologies of the past.
I worked very hard for my own salary and I do not want my tax dollars going towards clean energy company at two -- big oil companies.
I'd rather have those -- those tax dollars supporting new technologies.
There could reduce my energy bills and they feature and free up some of my money is destiny thing because it features such as my.
Such as my children's college education it's important.
It's important -- another -- was ridiculous -- was -- time and money and it would be very easy to dump the pipeline and create jobs.
And bring energy cost him has -- gases at five dollars right now I think we need to make sure and -- gas is not five dollars plus gallons -- -- spending 500 billion dollars on -- big waste of time that was ridiculous.
You know -- I wanted to have been here for 12 is dean makes that point there are a number of Americans maybe even millions of them haven't talked to them personally.
Public service that suggests -- Americans were concerned about where we are right now and a lot of what you're talking about it's kind of forecasting into the future what would you say about -- people.
We're having to pay as I'm sure you are above four dollars a gallon a gas right now.
Well then the way to -- -- is to open up more choices for American people this country is all about freedom of choice.
We should have choices to pay a hit the gas prices have put like two or -- to have more efficient vehicles that would result in the lower gas bill.
To put solar panels on -- house of -- like to do so and reduce our utility bills to zero.
What I would like to see is a country where consumers have more choice as they would likely have a guest says guzzling vehicle they -- if they don't they don't have to if you like to spend all of your money paying high utility bills that goes straight to -- coal company fine.
But if you'd like to opt out of that system and do something that saves you money and might actually earn money if you can generate so much solar that you sell that back to the electric company.
Then that just opens up a wider array of where a range of choices for the American people and in my opinion that's what this country is all about us.
Should it coal industry that has right -- the Obama administration is just about the destroying coal which is a huge resource for us and then what about natural gas.
Call natural gas well these things are very important right now to get.
Gas prices down people can even go get their -- You know before I let you go Melanie we have an interactive live chat and wild -- -- is saying my truck uses gasoline I cannot afford to buy another vehicle.
And I'm thinking -- wildcat -- -- say is telegraphing out another vehicle that might use a different substance editing gasoline.
People are sort of where they are right now I'm Melanie car I'm glad you're here policy analysts Center for American Progress thanks for the conversations today because.

Trade and Investment Rules for Energy
III. Aiding the Movement and Delivery of Energy Services
The following paragraphs review points for attention by WEC and by the broader international community, taking into account the Doha Round and various regional developments.
Definitional Questions
The Task Force believes that an important first step is to define "energy services" and to provide appropriate categorization and sub-classifications to supplement the existing WTO and U.N. classification lists. Work done in the Doha Round, notably by the informal Friends of Energy Services group, represents a useful starting point. Classification efforts by the WTO Secretariat and by international organizations, NGOs, and other experts offer additional useful reference tools.
List of Market Access Barriers
A parallel effort could be to identify the most egregious impediments to market access faced by energy service providers. Examples include outright prohibitions of specific services; local supply requirements; purchase obligations; local hiring conditions; ownership restrictions; restrictions on modes of delivery (i.e., cross-border supply and commercial presence); restrictions on the entry of personnel; and limitations of or conditions for access to transit, transportation, and distribution networks.
The identification of these barriers, categorized and supported by specific examples, could provide a departure point in developing possible voluntary guidelines for governments. The effort, it should be noted, is not to name individual countries or devise some sort of blacklist. Rather, the idea is to survey the barriers that most directly impede the delivery of energy services as a reference tool for further action.
Market Access Guidelines
Having defined and categorized energy services and listed the most serious barriers to trade and investment, the next step could be to consider voluntary guidelines or principles of host State behaviour in removing and preventing the adoption of services barriers. While numerous FIPAs and BITs contain obligations on services trade in general terms, there are few examples of State obligations tailored specifically to the energy sector.
It is recognized that disciplines on market access can best be settled in the multilateral context. At the present time, however, with Doha negotiations suspended, efforts by WEC to propose a set of guidelines tailored to the needs of the energy sector could assist in post-Doha Round consideration by governments in both the WTO context and in bilateral negotiations.
Competition, Domestic Regulation, and Internal Market Reform
While border measures can constrain and prevent entry of energy services or foreign service providers, post-entry regulation, anti-competitive policies, lack of transparency, arbitrary and opaque application of rules, and preferential treatment of State-owned or controlled entities are equally potent de facto entry barriers.
The Task Force recognizes that proposing guidelines or norms in this area is sensitive and faces issues of sovereignty, resource ownership, and national jurisdiction over internal economic organization and regulation. The challenge is to find the right balance between international norms of behaviour and the sovereign right and duty of governments to legislate in the public interest.
An additional factor worthy of examination is the relationship between services trade and domestic competition policy. The OECD has been actively examining this within the framework of its Joint Group on Trade and Competition, producing a useful report that isolates the competition provisions in Regional Trade Agreements (RTA). There are divergent approaches in these RTAs, running the gamut from fairly vague language on anticompetitive behaviour to provisions obliging governments to enact specific legislation.
Noteworthy regional agreements and arrangements also include the E.U.'s single electricity market (beginning with Community Directive 96/92), setting out the E.U.'s policy objectives of increased competitiveness, improved environmental protection, and security of energy supply. The E.U. market system has important elements to free up energy services trade among member states and is considered an important source of ideas by the Task Force. Other regional agreements of significance are the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Trade in energy services has also been under examination in ASEAN and APEC.
The Task Force concludes that a common thread runs through these agreements, enshrining treaty obligations covering non-discrimination, transparency, and due process in relation to energy services trade and investment.
Energy Services and Climate Change
Emissions trading schemes emerging under the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol, and elsewhere raise other issues respecting cross-border services. While emission credit trading is a subject that extends beyond the scope of this report, efforts at international agreements to facilitate the expansion of the services associated with emissions trading is highly relevant to the energy services subject in general.

Shepperd what's next is really a question mark at this point Hugo Chavez tried to lay the ground work for a successor with his vice president Nicholas -- who you point out correctly.
It's a fifty year old former bus driver and a high school graduate we learned today something about a -- When he said the United States might be behind -- giving Hugo Chavez cancer.
So any hopes that US policy makers had that this next.
Chain of events with Travis removed from the scene would perhaps be better from the US point of you -- is pretty much remove this man seems in his initial appearance on the world stage to be a hard line anti US leader.
Now he's not guaranteed to be in power although Travis picked him anointed him as his successor really in his dying days -- bureau.
Will have to run in a snap election likely within thirty days.
And it's likely to Travis party were trying to push for that election soon while they're still grief and momentum for the man who has -- Venezuela for the past fourteen years we can expect to see also.
A huge emotional outpouring.
No matter what you think of Hugo Chavez or is anti American rhetoric.
He was popular inside Venezuela especially among Venezuela's poor and time and time again he won popular elections.
Inside Venezuela that being said he also amassed enormous power this is a man who controlled the media who control billions of dollars.
In oil money he controlled the senate if you want to point to a building and say privatize it.
That business was suddenly owned by the government so really a man who at the same time he won democratic elections.
At at the very same time really concentrated that power in his own hands for the past fourteen years.
He would make claims in the past I want to rule for twenty years it looks like -- in the opposition could defeat him at about box.
Cancer defeating Hugo Chavez today at age 58 us.
-- there was a time not that long ago when when the people of Venezuela were suffering and suffering mightily when.
When Chavez was the publicist was taking private property and making it public property.
And leaving a lot of people who lived in Venezuela not necessarily the poorer because they always seem to do quite well under him.
But some in the middle class who had been trying to build businesses in the rest there was a lot of unrest within that country and I wonder if this is an opportunity.
For any some sort of change in your estimation where maybe the people get control some of their own destiny.
Well certainly that's -- beat -- -- in the opposition did have a good showing with the governor wants state Enrique hip relays.
I just last October he came closer to defeating Chavis and anyone has in the past and your right to point out that Venezuela does have serious problems.
Under Hugo Chavez it's a very violent country the homicide rate inside Caracas is enormous -- really.
The highest in the world inflation is also.
Run away just a few weeks ago you had people buying refrigerators trying to dump their currency and real scenes of almost economic power.
Despite that Venezuela is a place of enormous opportunity.
It has by surveys perhaps the largest reserves of oil.
In the world and Hugo Chavez has been very free to use that money almost to directly buy votes supplying medical care supplying subsidize foods especially in -- -- -- to election.
He really spent millions and millions of dollars to make sure he would get reelected so far that's been successful.
Now the question is can a man.
Of enormous charismatic ability -- man who really was a natural on television and entertainer a performer a man who generated great love especially among Venezuela's poor.
Can he be followed by successor who seems to look down and read from cue cards and today his initial appearance on the world scene.
Came off as nothing other than ignorant shepherd.
Steve Harrigan in our South Florida bureau on the death -- Hugo Chavez said the.

Sandra Annette Bullock ( /ˈbʊlək/; born July 26, 1964) is an American actress and producer who rose to fame in the 1990s, after roles in successful films such as Speed and While You Were Sleeping. She has since established her career with films such as Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice, and Crash, the third of which received critical acclaim. In 2007, she was ranked as the 14th richest female celebrity with an estimated fortune of $85 million. In 2009, Bullock starred in the most financially successful films of her career, The Proposal and The Blind Side. Bullock was awarded a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role, and the Academy Award for Best Actress, for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side.
Sandra Annette Bullock was born in Arlington, Virginia, daughter of John W. Bullock (born 1925), an Army employee and part time-voice coach from Birmingham, Alabama, and his wife Helga D. Meyer (1942–2000), a German opera singer and voice teacher. Bullock's maternal grandfather was a rocket scientist from Nuremberg, Germany. John Bullock, then in charge of the Army's Military Postal Service in Europe, was stationed in Nuremberg when he met his wife. They married in Germany, soon moving to Arlington, where John Bullock worked with the Army Materiel Command, before becoming a contractor for The Pentagon.
Bullock frequently accompanied her mother on her opera tours throughout Europe. She spent time in Salzburg and Nuremberg, where she stayed with her aunt and grandmother and became fluent in German. Bullock studied ballet and vocal arts as a child, taking small parts in her mother's opera productions. She sang in the operas children's choir at the Staatstheater Nürnberg.
