Game Informer have announced that their June issue of the magazine will unveil the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls Online game.
Set a thousand years before the events of Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online follows the tale of daedric prince Molag Bal as he tries to take control over all of Tamriel.
Game director Matt Firor says he is "committed to creating the best MMO ever made". With a big statement like that, you can bet Zenimax Online Studios won't be taking the task of developing the title lightly. Creating a truly great MMO is difficult enough, without trying to live up to a game worthy of The Elder Scrolls Franchise; let's hope they succeed.
The game is set to release on PC and Mac in 2013. For all the latest news on The Elder Scrolls Online, look no further than Game Informers own Elder Scrolls Online hub.
Excited about Elder Scrolls stepping away from a single player experience, or petrified they do the series an injustice? Share your thoughts in the comments box.
Update!! Bethesda just released a trailer! Watch it now!

How does Mario Kart Wii decide your rank letter (A, B, C, D, E, F) or star in a Cup that you raced?
A number of factors determine your rank. Positively:
A full breakdown is detailed here: http://gameolosophy.com/consoles/wii/mario-kart-wii-star-ranking-guide/ | |||
I'm 90% sure that it it the time you got in the race (e.g. getting under x minutes gets a C) although the time required for the rank is different on each course. | |||
The short answer is that no one knows. Some sites on the Internet claim that it is based on how often you went off the track, but I think it is more likely based on simple time around the course. Since going off course slows you down, it would be easy to confuse the two. My belief (completely unconfirmed) with regards to the one, two and three star rankings is that if you beat the required time, you get the stars based on how many laps you were the fastest kart on the track. So for the three star ranking, you would need to be the fastest kart the entire race. However, it is difficult to get any data to back my belief up, so I'm probably wrong... | |||||||||

I fell for the hype and bought this online without seeing it in store. I wasn't aware that you can actually get cheap former-GWP lipsticks on Amazon and Ebay without having to buy the full priced product. So I bought Tiramisu for $5.00 in the plain plastic GWP packaging. I thought that at least this way if I didn't like it then I wouldn't feel guilty for getting rid of it.
Tiramisu is one of those lipsticks that you don't realize you have been searching until you find it. The color is so simple yet has a little shimmer about it which gives it an edge over other similar colors. The lipstick itself is sheer which means that it just gives the barest hint of color while allowing your natural lip color to show through. I love my lips to look natural yet pretty and prefer colors like this over lipsticks with more color or pigment.
This is a winner for me and likely to be something I am never without. The shimmer is not too over the top, in fact when you wear this lipstick you might not even realize that it has shimmer. The shimmer is so well done that it makes your lips look fuller without being really visible.
This is not a long lasting color, you do have to apply this often but with a color so sheer it really doesn't matter to me. I don't even need a mirror to apply. Ladies who prefer rich color and dramatic lips may think this lipstick is boring, but for me this is a HG.
Lightly sheer, everyday lipstick. With one application, lips look simply more defined yet very natural. It feels like you are wearing good quality, smooth, hydrating lip gloss.

I love the colour of this lipstick. I was looking for a pale colour that would not wash me out, and this is it - it has just enough slight shimmer and peachy pink tones. The packaging is gorgeous. Here in New Zealand it is ridiculously expensive. Also, I find it slightly drying. But I do love it!
I love the product of Estee Lauder, Perfect natural, rosy-peach color! my boyfriend also like the color on my lip. he said it's more sexy for me to use this. lol

I got this from my aunt, but I believe full size is $32CAD. The colour is so pretty! It is a pinky-mauve with a lot of shimmer. But don't be fooled with the shimmer! Once you put it on your lips, there is very subtle shimmer. The consistency is very much like a Revlon Lip Butter, but you don't have to exfoliate. SIGHHHHHHHHH.......BUTTERYYYYYYY!!!!!! Anyway, I'm almost positive I have seen a dupe for this from Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, but I don't know the name! SORRY!! This lasted pretty long for a moisturizing lipstick. About 3-4 hours if you don't eat anything. Only downside is that my lipstick squished in half and I can't get it back together! Its ok.....

Finally made the acquaintance of a good Estee Lauder lipstick. If you read my other Estee reviews, you'll see that I DETEST the brand's lipsticks. This is a winner!
The formula is light, sheer, comfortable, does not feel cakey, thick, or annoyingly slide off. Very sheer (in a good way). You are basically getting a flattering gleam that finishes off your look, without looking overdone in the slightest. I WILL repurchase! Whew!

First off, let me start with the smell. Yes, this has that typical Estee Lauder Pure Color line smell that is in all of their Pure Color lipsticks and glosses. It is hard to described, but to me it smells a little fruity with an undercurrent of a bit of waxy smell (waxy as in it reminds me of those plastic fangs you get at Halloween time). I am sensitive to some scents in Lipsticks, but this one does not bother me.
The texture of the Pure Color Line is great, very smooth and hydrating. Not a long lasting lipstick by any stretch, but as long lasting as any other on me (2-3 hours). I have found a couple other colors in this line (some of the newest ones that came out with the luminizers) that are almost gritty, but most of them are not and Tiramisu is no exception.
As for the color, it truly is gorgeous. A beautiful peachy sheer with pink undertones. It is a great "everyday" color. This won't be the color that will knock your socks off, but it will be the color that you notice yourself wearing all the time.
Overall, I highly recommend this lipstick. At $25 it isn't super pricey, but it isn't exactly cheap either...still for this gorgeous color and formulation if I ever run out I would definitely repurchase.

Perfect natural, rosy-peach color! This is my HG lipstick. I imagine it would look great on all skintones. I would recommend this to MUAs for their wedding kits or any events that call for a natural, fresh "pretty" look. Also, I've found that Tiramisu is extremely forgiving, which is unusual for a product labelled "shimmer." It actually perfects lips when they're not in perfect condition. Tiramisu even works on lips that are chapped, mature, etc.
Gorgeous lipstick! Highly Recommend!

Tiramisu works on my pigmented lips and NC30/C4 light tan Asian complexion for every look. Its weird. Brown blushes, pink blushes, smoky eyes, natural, bronzed, whatever. Tiramisu always compliments. It is a sheer, lightly frosted (in a glossy way, not an 80s way) light peachy pink that leaves my lips smooth, and healthy and a touch pink. I reapply every 2 hours since its a sheer formula, but I dont mind since this lippie is the best. I love love love.

Estée Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipstick - 341 Tiramisu
This is my favourite sheer lipstick that looks great anytime - at work, on dates, evenings, etc. "Tiramisu" is a peach nude with golden shimmer. The lipstick has a fig scent. Unfortunately, "Tiramisu" is a discontinued shade in Malaysia.
As an alternative, I'm using: Estée Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipstick - 10 Cafe Olé. (On the box: PCCL 10 Cafe Olé SHIMMER.) On my lips, "Cafe Olé" is not distinguishable from "Tiramisu". If "Tiramisu" has been discontinued in your country, get "Cafe Olé" or "Crystal Blush" - they're both close matches.

Abstract: This study aimed at establishing occurrences of chest pains and frequent coughing among different classes of residents within Selibe Phikwe, Botswana where there are on going nickel-copper mining and smelting activities. Through the administration of questionnaires and structured question to 600 individuals, 7 health service providers, 200 business enterprises, and 30 educational institutions, attempts were made to establish and verify the existing human health status at Selebi Phikwe by focusing on chest pains and frequent coughing which are considered to be some of the respiratory tract related symptoms of sicknesses and diseases. With the aid of statistical package of social sciences (SPSS), interpreted results from respondents indicated that 33% of the individuals complained of persistent chest pains, and 27% of educational institutions, 45% business enterprises, and all health service providers had learners, workers, and patients who complained of chest pains. Furthermore, 49% of the individuals complained of persistent frequent coughing; and 70% of educational institutions, 45% business interprises, and all health service providers had learners, workers, and patients who complained of frequent coughing. According to study sites, respondents living in sites closest to the mine and smelter/concentrator plant reported a higher incidence of chest pains and frequent coughing, compared to those living in other parts of the study area. Residents associated fumes and dust from mining activities to the frequent coughing and persistent chest pains, which could be symptoms of respiratory tract diseases. This baseline investigation calls for further studies to establish relations of mining activities to human health at Selebi Phikwe. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/379 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Open and distance learning (ODL) has created room for the emergence of virtual education. Not only are students found everywhere and anywhere undertaking their studies and earning their degrees, but geographical boundaries between nations no longer appear to have much relevance. As the new education paradigm irretrievably alters the way teaching and learning is conducted, the application of modern educational ICTs has a major role to play. With students of transnational or cross-border education dispersed into various nooks and crannies of Botswana, many others enlist for the "home-baked" distance learning programmes from their diverse locations. Like the face-to-face conventional students, distance learners also have information needs which have to be met. But blocking the distance learners' realization of their information needs is the digital divide, which further marginalizes the underclass of "info-poor." The survey method was used, and a questionnaire administered to 519 students of four tertiary level distance teaching institutions that met the criteria set for the study yielded a 70.1% response rate. The results showed that while the Government of Botswana has made considerable effort to ensure country-wide access to ICT, which now constitutes an effective instrument for meeting information needs, a number of problems still exist. The factors impeding easy access are unearthed. The findings of an empirical study portraying some learners as information-rich and others as information-poor, and the consequence of distance learners studying on both sides of the digital divide, are discussed. Suggestions on bridging the digital divide are offered. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/971 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper explores the dilemma of the emergent African intellectual, activist or modern leader by focusing on Sol Plaatje's experiences. It shows that by acquiring western education and values, the African intellectual occupied a position of in-between-ness, forcing him or her to promote and oppose both western and African values, and beliefs, resulting in a split identity. Consequently, his or her relationship with both the foreign culture and what he or believed to be his or her people, was bound to be problematic, leading to frustrations and disappointment. In dealing with such frustration Plaatje employed Shakespeare's text to lash out at his fellow Africans, and Tswana speakers in particular, for their reluctance in supporting his political and cultural projects. I conclude by showing that blaming his people for what he perceived to be their lackadaisical and cavalier attitude towards projects intended to uplift their status was somewhat misguided because it failed to recognize the dynamics of adopting and imbibing western values.

Abstract: This paper examines the responses of colonial governments to outbreaks of bubonic plague in the interior, particularly that of the Bechuanaland Protectorate (Botswana) administration. Bubonic plague first reached Southern Africa through the seaports of Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, and Durban in 1900 at the height of the Anglo-Boer war of 1899- 1902. The dread disease found Southern Africa's ports, harbours and railway stations bursting at the seams with wartime commerce, and with an influx of refugees from the interior and large numbers of migrant labourers. From the ports, the plague spread to towns close to railway stations and finally into the interior where it caused havoc for the political economy of rural Southern Africa. Bubonic plague normally spreads as a disease among rodent populations living in the vicinity of human habitation. Fleas from dead rats if unable to find another rodent host begin to infest people instead. Bubonic plague became endemic in Southern Africa, and natural reservoirs of the malady still exist in the region. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/736 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The structural organization of a giant mafic dyke swarm, the Okavango complex, in the northern Karoo Large Igneous Province (LIP) of NE Botswana is detailed. This N1108E-oriented dyke swarm extends for 1500 km with a maximum width of 100 km through Archaean basement terranes and Permo-Jurassic sedimentary sequences. The cornerstone of the study is the quantitative analysis of NO170 (exposed) and NO420 (detected by ground magnetics) dykes evidenced on a ca. 80-km-long section lying in crystalline host-rocks, at high-angle to the densest zone of the swarm (Shashe area). Individual dykes are generally sub-vertical and parallel to the entire swarm. Statistical analysis of width data indicates anomalous dyke frequency (few data !5.0 m) and mean dyke thickness (high value of 17 m) with respect to values classically obtained from other giant swarms. Variations of mean dyke thicknesses from 17 (N1108E swarm) to 27 m (adjoining and coeval N708E giant swarm) are assigned to the conditions hosting fracture networks dilated as either shear or pure extensional structures, respectively, in response to an inferred NNW–SSE extension. Both fracture patterns are regarded as inherited brittle basement fabrics associated with a previous (Proterozoic) dyking event. The Okavango N1108E dyke swarm is thus a polyphase intrusive system in which total dilation caused by Karoo dykes (estimated frequency of 87%) is 12.2% (6315 m of cumulative dyke width) throughout the 52-km-long projected Shashe section. Assuming that Karoo mafic dyke swarms in NE Botswana follow inherited Proterozoic fractures, as similarly applied for most of the nearly synchronous giant dyke complexes converging towards the Nuanetsi area, leads us to consider that the resulting triple junction-like dyke/fracture pattern is not a definitive proof for a deep mantle plume in the Karoo LIP.

Abstract: The Okavango Delta is amongst the largest Ramsar sites (http://www.ramsar.org/sitelist.pdf) in the world and an important wetland for community livelihoods, conservation and tourism in Botswana. Over the years, the utilization of the delta has shifted from communal use to state control, with an increased use for conservation and tourism. This increased use for conservation and tourism has manifested in the physical expansion of the conservation area – Moremi Game Reserve and the formation of Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) around the reserve, whose primary land use is wildlife utilization. The expansion of the conservation area has translated into several practical matters, including expansion of the area for non-hunting activities or photographic areas. The livelihoods of local communities of the Okavango delta who depended on fishing, hunter-gathering, livestock rearing, rain-fed agriculture and flood recession farming have been negatively affected by the expansion of conservation and tourism in the delta. The livelihoods alternatives in the form of Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) and tourism have not provided substitutes for the people as the communities are still reliant on the same old livelihood sources as in the past, albeit within smaller and restricted areas. This paper explores the ownership of the natural resources within the Okavango Delta. It asks and attempts to answer the following questions: Who owns and controls the use of the land? Who has access to other resources there in? Who makes the decisions on how the delta resources should be managed and used? Who benefits from the delta resources? We argue firstly that ownership of the delta as defined by legal parameters and demonstrated in natural resource management practice is vested on government. Secondly, government, after assuming ownership of the delta continues to sell its stake to the international community, at the expense of local ownership and access to resources. We conclude that in the process the ability of local communities to source a livelihood out of the delta as they previously used to, is compromised. This we argue works against the goal of sustainable development for improved livelihoods as proclaimed in government policy documents. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/746 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The Okavango basin comprises the Cuito and Cubango active catchment areas in Angola, in addition to the Kavango's Okavango non-active catchment in northern Namibia and Botswana. The Okavango River water and its ecosystem resources are critically important sources of livelihoods for people in the basin. Pressures from livelihoods and development are already impacting on the environment. These pressures may increase in the future due to the rapid increase in population, the peace process and associated resettlement activities in Angola, and major development initiatives in Botswana and Namibia. For instance, possible future increase in water abstraction from the Okavango River may affect the long-term environmental sustainability of the Okavango Delta by minimizing channel shifting and thereby reducing spatial biodiversity. The paper argues that while conservation of the natural environment is critical, the pressing development needs must be recognized. The reduction of poverty within the basin should be addressed in order to alleviate adverse effects on the environment. The paper recommends that the development of sustainable tourism and community-based natural resource management initiatives may be appropriate strategies for reaching the Millennium Development Goals of poverty alleviation and achievement of environmental sustainability in the Okavango Basin. These initiatives have a comparative advantage in this area as demonstrated by the performance of the existing projects. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/154 Files in this item: 2

Abstract: The Okwa Basement Complex crops out at the northwestern edge of the Kaapvaal craton within the Okwa Inlier, an isolated exposure of Precambrian basement in the Kalahari Desert. New U–Pb zircon dating was performed on all the major Palaeoproterozoic lithologies of the complex. Results are 2055.3 ± 1.3 Ma for augen gneiss, 2056.3 ± 1.3 Ma for foliated monzogranite and 2057 ± 2 Ma for microgranite. A meta-rhyolite gives an age of 2055 ± 4 Ma, based on one concordant zircon, and contains an inherited zircon with an age of 2101 ± 4 Ma. All precisely dated rocks are indistinguishable in age at 2056 ± 2 Ma. This age can be broadly correlated with Palaeoproterozoic geologic events in the Magondi belt at the northwest margin of the Zimbabwe craton and the Triangle Shear Zone in the Limpopo belt. However, the most precise correlation is with the Bushveld Complex, whose age is indistinguishable from that of the Okwa Basement Complex. This suggests a link between marginal and intra-cratonic Bushveld-age magmatism on the Kaapvaal craton. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/272 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The status of the older population has been an on-going social policy concern in both developed and developing countries for several decades now. This is reflected in research, policies and legislative provisions for the older people in the countries such as the USA, Canada and others. In developing countries, this concern is a recent phenomenon. It is only in the last three decades that scholars and policy makers have begun to pay some attention to the plight and situation of older people in developing countries. This paper uses secondary data sources to appraise Botswana's Old Age Pension Scheme. The scheme is non-contributory and covers all older persons aged 65 years and above. The paper acknowledges that the pension scheme has significantly contributed to the enhancement of the socio-economic profile of the older people in Botswana. It however, contends that the provisions of the pension scheme do not adequately meet the financial requirements of the older people. This is exacerbated by the fact that some older persons support unemployed and dependent members of their families from the same pension money especially grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. The paper also reveals that the pension scheme is wrought with administrative and implementation bottlenecks. Among the major problems affecting the pension scheme for the elderly are, congestion at paying points; traveling of long distances to the paying points; delays in processing life declaration certificates; exposure to criminal activities; failure by paying officers to honor paying schedules and problems associated with computer systems failure. It is the contention of this paper that there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive policy for the protection and care of older people in Botswana. Such a policy should address the various needs of the older people and in particular set a clearer criterion for adequate financial provision for the older population.

Some Theorems on parallel and semi-parallel vector field, geodesibility of lightlike hypersurfaces are obtained. The geometrical configuration of such lightlike hypersurfaces is established. We prove that, in totally contact umbilical lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold which has constant φ-holomorphic sectional curvature c, tangent to the structure vector field and such that its distribution is parallel, the parallelism and semi-parallelism notions are equivalent.

Abstract: This article talks about how the body of El Negro was stolen from southern Africa and how it was kept as an exhibit in a museum in Spain. Two French taxidermists stole the body later known as El Negro from a grave beyond the Cape Colony frontier in 1830-31. It was stuffed and displayed as 'Le Betjouana' (i.e. the Bechuana or Motswana) in France and as '1/ Betjouana' in Spain. From 1916 until 1998 it was the prime exhibit in a museum at Banyoles, north of Barcelona, where it became known as El Negro. Controversy over its display began in 1991, and was complicated by the assertion that a 'Betjouana' was a type of 'Bosquimano' (Bushman). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/507 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Opinion polls are a relatively new phenomenon in Botswana but nonetheless a welcome development as they inform both the candidates and the campaigners on pertinent issues facing the electorate. Opinion polls becomes more visible and more discussed during every general election in Botswana. Unlike developed countries where poll taking begins more than a year before an election and continues until the last few hours of the election night, polls here have been conducted at one time only during election years. Due to financial and logistical constraints they are not conducted at times when there are issues of public and national concern.

Abstract: The measurements and analysis of optical transmission and far-infrared (IR) reflectivity spectra of thermally evaporated Sb2Se3:Sn films are reported. The refractive index and film thickness have been determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the transmission spectra (Swanepoel's standard envelope method), measured at normal incidence, in the spectral range from 800 to 2500 nm. Values of the refractive index fit well to Cauchy's dispersion relation. The optical gap decreases with an increase in the Sn content, while a maximum in the tailing parameter and Urbach's energy occurs with only a small amount ( 1 at %) of this additive. Characteristic vibrational bands for SbSe3 structural units are revealed in the far-IR spectrum with no additional ones arising from the Sn additive. The Kramers–Kronig analysis has been used to calculate the dielectric constants and hence the longitudinal optic and transverse optic splitting for various compositions. The inclusion of Sn as a charged entity along with the Coulomb interactions which serve to polarize the glass medium is found to be responsible for these results.

Abstract: This present study was undertaken to find optimum conditions of pH, temperature and, period of incubation for the pectinolytic activity of Kluyveromyces wickerhamii isolated from rotting fruits and to assess the effect of these factors by use of response surface methodology (RSM). A central composite rotatable design was used as an experimental design for the analysis of the allocation of treatment combinations. A second order polynomial regression model was fitted and was found adequate, with an R2 of 0.94469 ( P < 0.001). The effects of temperature and pH were the most significant factors in influencing enzyme production. Estimated optimum conditions were as follows: pH 5.0, temperature, 32 jC and an incubation period of 91 h. Pectinesterase (PE), pectin lyase (PL), and cellulase activities were not detected. Pectinase production was partially constitutive. Pectin was degraded by the isolated strain of K. wickerhamii in the current study, and the pectinolytic activity is referred to as polygalacturonase (PG) activity. Crude enzyme extract was thermostable at various temperatures and, stimulated by the presence of Ca2 + ions but inhibited by other ions like Mg2 +, Zn2 +, Co2 +, Mn2 + and Na+.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to find out the causes, types, effects and strategies on how to manage conflicts in organisations effectively to enhance organisational performance. Therefore, it is prime responsibility of management to put in place appropriate strategies on how to minimize conflicts. This research contributes to the body of existing literature, specifically it will inspire managers to develop appropriate strategies on how to manage conflicts in their organisations effectively. The convenience sample of one hundred and thirty managers was selected for the study from government departments, parastatals, and private companies. The tabular method was used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the major cause of organisational conflict is limited resources. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1084 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Quaternary sedimentation in the Moshaweng dry valley of southeastern Botswana is evaluated on the basis of geomorphological evolution and sedimentological analyses. Stratigraphic evidence reveals an 'upper surface (1095 m) containing abundant sil-calcrete, an intermediate surface (1085 m) in which sil-calcrete underlies nodular calcrete and lower (1075 m) surface in which sil-calcrete and nodular calcrete are interbedded. This subdivision is reflected in the geochemical composition of the sediments which show an overall trend of decreasing Si02 content (and increasing CaC03 content) with depth from the highest to the lowest surface levels. The calcretes and sil-calcretes represent modifications of pre-existing detrital Kalahari Group sand and basal Kalahari pebbles which thinned over a Karoo bedrock high. Modification took place during wet periods when abundant Ca++ -rich groundwater flowed along the structurally aligned valley system. With the onset of drier conditions, water table fluctuations led to the precipitation of nodular calcretes in the phreatic layer to a depth of about 20 m. A major geochemical change resulted in the preferential silicification of the nodular calcrete deposits. Conditions for silica mobilization may be related to drying-induced salinity and in situ geochemical differentiation brought about by pebble dissociation towards the top of the sediment pile. As calcretization and valley formation progressed to lower levels, silica release took place on a diminishing scale. Thermoluminescence dating infers a mid-Pleistocene age for sil-calcrete formation suggesting that valley evolution and original calcrete precipitation are much older. Late st~ge dissolution of CaC03 from pre-existing surface calcretes or sil-calcretes led to the formation of pedogenic case-hardened deposits during a time of reduced flow through the Moshaweng system possibly during the upper or late Pleistocene.

Abstract: Trace elements togetherwith some O and C isotope analysiswere undertaken on duricrust strandline deposits in the palaeo-Makgadikgadi sub-basin (PMSB) to provide insight into palaeo-climatic conditions through the interpretation of calcrete, silcrete–calcrete intergrade and silcrete deposits. Trace element content and relative abundance suggest that the duricrust origins are associated with the long-term weathering of the Karoo Large Igneous Province which underlies the PMSB. This work shows that duricrust origins are related to Ca2+ and Si (and associated trace elements) being transported mainly through the groundwater and then subsequently precipitated at different strandline elevations over time. Local groundwater feeding in towards the pan margin and accumulating in near-neutral pan-marginal pools, appears to facilitate Si concentration and permeation of pre-existing calcretes. The silica precipitates as the pH drops when renewed freshwater enters the pools. Hence the inferred palaeo-climatic regime for silcretisationmay be similar to that occurring in Botswana at present being dry semi-arid with lowseasonal rainfall. In contrast the extensive calcrete precipitation in the strandlines results from abundant Ca2+ in adjacent waters which appear to be derived from both local and regional sources. The arrival of Ca2+ from regional sources (shown by trace element evidence) infers heavy rainfall in the upper catchment suggesting a major humid event followed by regional drying. Palaeo-climatic inferences suggest the juxtaposition ofmajor humid events interspersedwithmore normal semi-arid palaeo-climateswith an exception obtained from isotope data, of drier and cooler conditions than usual for the region around 80–90000 years ago. Whereas trace element data can greatly assist in the interpretation of complex deposits such as duricrusts, care should be taken over the use of particular ratios (such as Yb/Gd ratio) which may produce spurious results.

KALISPELL - The Braulicks picked up 3-year-old Lucy on Sunday, a day they thought wouldn't come.
Lucy has been missing since October where she jumped out of her family's car.
While her human family has missed Lucy, there's another member of the Braulick family who's been missing Lucy terribly.
"The first week or two he was - it was scary. I mean he was completely depressed," Amy explained of their other dog, Charlie, who hadn't been the same since Lucy went missing.
"He didn't want to get up and do anything. He just wanted to lay on his pillow and mope," Amy added.
Lucy jumped out the window of the Braulick's car in October while they were heading from Great Falls to Kalispell to pick up their daughter on the way to Helena.
But thanks to a newspaper article last week, Lucy was finally found at the Flathead County Animal Shelter.
"She identified us right away and jumped up and started giving us kisses, her tail was wagging. Our daughter was there, and she recognized her right off-the-bat," Amy told us.
The Braulicks know Charlie will bounce right back to his usual self as soon as they get Lucy home.
"Yeah it will be a happy reunion with them. It will be," Tim said.
He added Lucy is a little bit skinny after being on her own for three months, but that she's still healthy and obviously now very happy.
The Braulicks also expressed how thankful they are to the community who helped them find Lucy.

Washington, DC Wednesday, March 28, 2012
The House Financial Services Committee held an oversight and investigations hearing on the collapse of MF Global, a major global financial derivatives broker that filed for bankruptcy in October 2011.
The hearing focused on the decisions during the company's final days that led to the disappearance of up to $1.6 billion in customer funds. Four former executives, who were involved in decision-making in last week before bankruptcy, were called as witnesses. Edith O'Brien, the Assistant Treasurer for MF Global, refused to answer questions, invoking her fifth amendment right not to give testimony that might incriminate herself.
The other three witnesses from MF Global were Laurie Ferber, General Counsel for MF Global; Henri Steenkamp, MF Global Chief Financial Officer; and Christine Serwinski, Chief Financial Officer for MF Global North America.
In a sometimes heated exchange, members of congress questioned the three witnesses about how the firm handled customer money and about the handling of creditors and customers in the ongoing bankruptcy process.
This is the third hearing the Subcommittee has held on MF Global since it began investigating. The Subcommittee questioned former MF Global CEO Jon Corzine and credit rating agency officials who had evaluated the firm's credit worthiness in the first two hearings. Jon Corzine was Governor of New Jersey from 2006-2010.
The investigation aims to "not only to find out where the money went but to identify what went wrong in order to prevent this from happening again," Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) said.
Witnesses from J.P. Morgan Chase and the Financial Accounting Standards Board will also testify.

Lucis Trust / Arcane School / Twelve Spiritua... / Virgo / Virgo Festival Talk |
Virgo Festival Talk
The text which follows was an address given by a member of the Headquarters staff of Lucis Trust at one of our public meetings. The purpose of these brief talks is to prepare and seed the group mind for the real work to be done--group meditation. This talk can be used by individuals and groups who wish to cooperate with this service. Who Am I? Mother and Child, Matter and Spirit. The keynote for our meditation work in Virgo is I am the mother and the child. I, God, I, matter am. One of the things immediately noticeable in this keynote is the focus on I. Pondering the eternal question, Who am I?, in the light of Virgo, leads to the affirmation: I am the mother and the child. I, God, I, matter am. What might this mean for each one of us as individuals – for you and for me as we approach the mystery of the question Who am I? So often the 'I ' word is used loosely, casually and with little reflection. Even in our private most intimate thoughts there can be an automatic sense of 'I' as the personal self. So when we think, I believe …; I want … I like …; it is in my interest to … there is a tendency to mean I the personality believe, want etc. And in esoteric groups it can happen (not necessarily that it does happen, or always happens) that this human, incarnated 'I', this personality is quite inappropriately considered to be a problem, or a burden. Virgo leads us to ask how conscious are we of the fullness of who I am? How often, even in our most serious reflections, do we truly think of ourselves as a dynamic, shifting mix of our Christ nature and all of the substance of our personal identity? It is easy to have ideas and theories about the Christ that dwells within us – yet too often these ideas exist somehow apart from the way we think about our identity and ourselves. One of the key thoughts in Virgo is that this substance of our humanity, this personality, gives us exactly the right nexus of energies needed to nourish the in-dwelling Christ. Our personality gives the soul all the food and support required as the soul prepares to emerge fully into the human world – to transform the human world. The magical process of gestation, leading to labor and an eventual birth is taking place in us and through us – just as it is taking place in the human community, the collective. Pondering the question who am I?, leads into a reflection on evolution. The real imaginative living sense of self has changed through time and through cultures. It sometimes seems that the modern Western notion of self is of a limited, shallow, superficial, even sentimental, 'what you see is what you get' sort of selfhood: personality, with muted light and shadow, but without solar fire, without the mystery of eternity, without any core of divinity, of limitless love, without any sense of ashramic group identity or purpose or of active participation in the birthing of a new humanity; without archetype of Warrior, Priest Magician or Healer. In ancient times we would probably have shared in an instinctual sense of the Divine Self. It would have been an almost unconscious part of our identity. Today we are at a crossroads – after a long cycle in which the power of the separated individual has been growing in potency, a new sense of Self is emerging and accompanying this, a whole new understanding of the feminine is on the rise. In our meditation work together we will be linking into a global field of mind and heart that includes individuals and groups living on every part of the radiant surface of the earth. The first intuitive and imaginative exercise in the meditation is to imagine ourselves (ourselves as soul and personality, aligned) centered within this group of meditators – to identify ourselves with the global field of mind and heart in such a way that throughout the meditation we are thinking imaginatively as a cell within this concentrated global field of consciousness. We can imagine this entire group field approaching Higher Sources of Wisdom and Lighted Compassion with the clear intention to serve the Vision and the Plan for humanity held in the Lighted Mind of these Higher Beings. Our entire group purpose is to be of use in the planned emergence, the birthing, of a richer, truer, more balanced and harmonious sense of Self. Together, as one mind, can we imaginatively see the Virgo energies, the Virgin Mother herself in all her radiance, transforming the human sense of identity? It is said that we are in the later stages, the eighth month, of the gestation of the new human being, the new self. So right now, in our historical time, it is possible to imagine a human identity that affirms, knows and is true to both its human and its divine nature. We can imagine this as part of our personal destiny in this life – and as a part of the destiny of all deep thinkers and of all who seek to be of service at this time. Imagine a time in the future when historians of the psyche will look back to the decades of the 2010's and the 2020's and comment on an emerging redefinition of self, a balancing between feminine and masculine, and a new understanding of the personality as a vehicle for the expression of our higher soul potentials. I am one with my group brothers, and all that I have is theirs. May the love which is in my soul pour forth to them. May the strength which is in me lift and aid them. May the thoughts which my soul creates reach and encourage them. In the Virgo keynote we have the image of the Mother with the yet to be born child embedded in her womb. The Mother symbolizes the earth itself and our own personal earth - our humanness, the elements of body, subtle body, emotions and mind that make up our individual personalities. The yet to be born child represents the Christ within us, the hope of glory. The Mother provides all the nourishment needed for the embryonic Christ to fulfill its mission, pass through the traumatic events of labor and be born into the world where it can be seen, can be fully present and can radiate its energies through the vehicle of the personality. The Mother is like the rich humus of the soil, the wonderfully fertile dirt, into which the soul can push down its roots – fully enter into the earth and in the dark, damp conditions beneath the ground draw all the nourishment that is needed to emerge into the light of external reality. From a Virgo perspective this is the meaning of time, of history – both in a personal sense and in a collective sense. Our humanness and our immersion in time provides all the ingredients needed by the soul to emerge in the world, with human face, eyes, heart, head and feet. One of the key thoughts for me here is that we so often think of spiritual work as the work that we have do as personalities – working from outside in. It can be a struggle. We too often forget the work that the Soul is doing from inside out. As the embryo grows within the womb it becomes stronger, more present to the mother, more a real part of the being of the Mother. And so we are given this image of Virgo as the experience of the sustaining will of the Mother in close association with the dynamic will of the Christ Child. [Esoteric Astrology, p. 627]. That's quite a thought – that for all of us, in our individual journeys through life, we hold within us this sustaining will of the Mother AND an associated dynamic will of the Christ Child. We sometimes forget that dynamic will part of the picture. For cycles of incarnation, birth, experience, and death; followed by birth, experience, and death, the Soul enters into the world of the separated self, in time passing through a culminating Leo experience as a potent individual, self-aware as a personality and with a facility to navigate and manipulate the human world, to appear to be a master of the human world, a high achiever, a leader. This is all a part of the souls plan for evolution. On the path the soul moves on from Leo into the Virgo experience. The powerful ego is now very aware of the hidden light within, knowing that light to be the kernel, the core, the essence of selfhood. In Virgo I discover that I am not who I thought I was – in fact in my heart of hearts I am something much greater, a being of universal significance. Yet in Virgo I also understand that this Universal Me is destined to be my ruler – the One who thinks and who directs action. The Hidden Christ will be born into the light of the external manifested world – and my purpose begins to be understood as caring for this hidden part of myself, listening to it, acknowledging its presence. Imagine this Virgo sense of self, the Mother and the embryonic child in symbiotic relationship. Imagine what it means for our time. Think, for example, about so much of the national conversation during this important year in the life of the United States – during a year of enormous spiritual significance for humanity and the planet as a whole (the Mayan calendar, the Venus transit, the Festival Week of the New Group of World Servers culminating in the Capricorn full moon) the peoples of the United States are engaged in a presidential election, discriminating between two significantly different visions of the future and two significantly different types of leadership. Looking through the Virgo lens perhaps we can imagine the soul of the nation being nurtured through the outer process of choosing between two visions of the future. Perhaps we might see the vast community of deep thinkers in the nation moving beyond the simplistic and manipulated rhetoric of the campaigns to do their own thinking about the best way forward for the nation in its path towards right (or rather better) human relations. The one thing the Virgo lens makes us consider is that in the midst of all the noise of an election, all the glamour and manipulation – the soul of the nation is playing an active and dynamic role. Remember the dynamic will of the Christ child in association with the sustaining will of the Mother. As the debates unfold, and as we follow the discussion from those few commentators (from the left and the right) who are actually independent thinkers and who have a transparent concern for the good of the nation and the good of the whole – we might be imaginatively open to the embryo of the Christ child, the soul of the nation, figuratively in the eighth month of the mother's pregnancy, preparing for labor and ultimately for birth. If we are to truly understand our time, as the period immediately preceding labor and birth of the Christ, and the emergence of Aquarius as the dominant note of the world, we need to do some serious thinking. When the mother is eight months pregnant the baby is moving around inside the womb independently (even if rather restricted by the enclosed environment). The eyes are closed when the baby is sleeping and open when awake. Most of the body organs, except for the lungs, are developed. The electrical impulses in the brain are firing, the development of the brain proceeds rapidly and the baby will be getting into the position it needs to be in for birth. This may physically be a hugely uncomfortable time for the mother in her pregnancy because the yet to be born baby is so strongly present. So this is how we might begin to think of the human community at this time, in 2012? We need to look for the signs of the soul in human thinking and planning – it will no doubt be the source of huge discomfort and stress in all the affairs of the world but it will be developing its distinctive character and all its thought forms will be there, just behind the surface of the outer events. It's not difficult to imagine that this is exactly what is happening now in every field of activity. The fundamental understanding of interdependence and wholeness is now so strong –just below the surface, on the verge of breaking out into the dominant paradigm of professions, government, social movements, and the arts. We know that the actual birthing requires a period of painful labor – that period has not yet arrived. But the dynamic will of the Christ and the sustaining will of the Mother are in sync – they are joined. And the beauty of this image is that this is all happening in our time – during the period when our souls have chosen for us to be in incarnation. The idea that the paradigm of wholeness and interdependence is in gestation, and approaching the final days of pregnancy before emerging into the birthing of a new civilization is very much an idea for this time and this year, 2012. There is a widespread popular image of 2012 as a very special year, drawing particularly on interpretations of the Mayan calendar. Alice Bailey's presentation of the Ageless Wisdom gives some insight on this. Every seven years a special tide of Capricornian influences flows into the field of the collective mind and heart of humanity. This is more than the regular December flow of Capricorn energies. On the seven year cycle energies of Capricorn are augmented by forces [pouring in] from a still greater constellation. Nothing is said about this greater constellation other than that it conditions and overshadows the entire zodiac of constellations influencing life and events on the earth. In December 1935, when the Tibetan referred to this Capricorn overshadowing in Alice Bailey's book, Esoteric Psychology Vol II, we are told that the energies pouring in from the greater constellation gave a huge impetus to the work of the New Group of World Servers – leading to a marked tendency to goodwill … in every nation and every group. DK goes on to describe how this overshadowing constellation produces a week of group impact every seven years from December 21 to 28 – and he goes on to comment that if the full moon should occur during this week, the opportunity will be most significant. This year, 2012, is such a year – seven years on from the last festival Week of the New Group of World Servers, and with the added potency of a Capricorn full moon, which this year will be on December 28. So that makes us sit up and take notice that all of our work in group service, inner and outer, during this year is helping to prepare the field of the New Group of World Servers for an unusual and highly significant inflow of energies. And in Virgo we cannot help but consider this in terms of the figurative movement of the Christ child, down the birth canal in preparation for labor. Esoteric thinking in the light of such imagery does not mean that we are looking for sensational events or sudden changes in the world signifying this movement. Rather that the process of history, the process of a new civilization of wholeness emerging, can be expected to speed up. This may happen in unexpected and unforeseen ways. The main thing is that consciousness will be stimulated, and that we can expect the tendency to goodwill in all nations and in all serving groups to be empowered. So we can imagine groups active in such fields as environmental awareness or poverty reduction or bridging between science and spirituality clarifying their mission, streamlining their organization, finding the funds needed to develop particular campaigns etc. as a result of the energies flowing in during the Festival Week. We might also be on the lookout for breakthroughs in 2013 in some of the negotiations underway in the United Nations around such issues as climate change and the post Millennium Development Goals development agenda. Yet we can also take heart from some of the extraordinary mobilizations of energy around the December Festival Week time and the important period between now and the Week in December. Anyone on the internet will probably be familiar with the Summer of Peace campaign where leading servers from around the world are speaking on goodwill issues to tens of thousands of listeners, often speaking profoundly and with deep insight into the shift taking place in consciousness. The International Day of Peace on the solstice, September 21st is a focus for countless groups with global meditation vigils, the noon time minute of silence and other activities to encourage folk to do something, take action, to improve the quality of relationships in their neighborhood. This is surely significant. A number of campaigns are culminating in celebration of a Global Birth day on December 22 2012: aiming to register 100 million signatures agreeing to join in co-creating the birth of a "Universal humanity" and guiding our earth community "into its next evolutionary stage". There is much taking place in the inner life of humanity as well as the outer life. In Virgo we affirm that the outer nurtures the inner, the deeper and more fundamental changes in values and attitudes. So may it be and so may we do our part.

I took photos of the pine cone invitation with different ribbons so you can see the difference that the choice of ribbon can make. The first photo is of a chocolate satin ribbon. The second photo is of terra cotta raffia giving the invitation a more rustic feel. The third photo is of a wider ribbon in brown with a olive green hint to it. Notice how this third photo is the most elegant looking of the four. And lastly the skinny brown ribbon with a more modern tie. Different looks for different weddings. For brides planning a rustic or outdoor wedding please check out The Whispering Pines Wedding Blog you will find some great ideas for favors, decor and more.

How should I proceed to make a good malt vinegar. In particular I would like some recipe to know what grains (or extract) I need to use, to have a really good vinegar, not just something that is sour, since it can be bought for less than a dollar at the supermarket :)
The Mad Fermentationist has a good write-up on making malt vinegar. Some interesting points from the article:
| |||||||||
My first batch ever was the brewers best english brown ale kit (extract). At some point it became infected and went sour. I let the bottles sit to see if it would age out (didn't know any better at the time) and the whole batch slowly turned in to carbonated vinegar. I've used it for pulled pork and it has worked wonders on it. I still have some left and plan on using it for a pig roast that I'm doing at the end of the month. So, to answer your question: In my experience, the Brewers Best English Brown Ale Extract Kit makes a wonderful vinegar for pork. Ferment it out and hit it with some Acetobacter and it will go great with your summer BBQ. http://www.homebrewing.org/Brewers-Best-English-Brown-Ale_p_204.html | |||||||||||||||||

All Chips on the Table - The Show!
All Chips on the Table - Garrett Chow's art show is alive and well at the Rapha Cycle Club San Francisco. Since its opening a few weeks ago it has become one of the most talked about art/bicycle/design shows in the San Francisco area. The show itself is something to behold — to see the creative process come to life in this fashion is remarkable in and of itself. The other interesting thing about the project is the great acclaim that it has received from the cycling community and press in and around the San Francisco area. Take a look below to see more of Garrett Chow's art, as well as some links to other examples of his work.
Great photos from the Cutty Cross pre-show race and the show from Mike Martin.
Jason Perry Photography
Fantastic reportage of the event at night in black and white.

So, if you find yourself in the San Francisco area any time this month (if it's tonight make sure to check out the Parklet Grand Opening ) stop by the Cycle Club, grab a coffee and step into the mind and art of Garrett Chow. Word on the street is that he wants his bikes back to do some riding so make sure you do it soon!

The Entrepreneurial Edge June 9, 2012
Posted by Wanetta Ayers in Potential.Tags: Alaska, business plan, entrepreneurial ecosystem, entrepreneurs, financing
6 comments
How do you create an entrepreneurial ecosystem? As the job generators of our economy, small businesses are the touchstone for economic recovery and vitality. It stands to reason that you need to grow a lot of small businesses in order to grow a few larger ones. There are growing signs of strength in Alaska's entrepreneurial ecosystem including new sources of financing and new creative energy to help businesses achieve the entrepreneurial edge.
Financing edge
Alaska entrepreneurs have access to new sources of capital. The 49th State Angel Fund (49SAF) has been established through funding from the U.S. Department of Treasury's State Small Business Credit Initiative. Thanks to the efforts of Allan Johnston, Lucinda Mahoney, and the Anchorage Assembly, 49SAF will make more than $13 million in risk capital available to Alaska entrepreneurs. While Alaska has a strong and steady banking community, financing startups can be difficult within corporate constraints. This new source of risk capital fills a gap in the financing continuum in Alaska, so that new businesses can start, grow, and flourish.
Alaska will also soon have five new specialized revolving loan funds that will help grow new opportunities. The Alaska Division of Economic Development will be adding funds for alternative energy and conservation for commercial buildings, small business microloans, commercial halibut fishing charters, shellfish mariculture farming, and qualified community-based commercial fishing organizations. Combined, these funds will make $25 million available to finance business startup, expansion, and efficiency.
With a strong, steady, and ready-to-lend banking community, a cadre of individual angel investors, and these new sources of financing, Alaska entrepreneurs have increasing options to fuel their startup activity.
Creative edge
For the past dozen years, the University of Alaska, Alaska Pacific University, and supporting organizations have sponsored entrepreneurial boot camps and business plan competitions. The 2012 business plan competition winners presented plans for commercializing unmanned aircraft for security, sensing, and navigation; controlled environment agriculture to grow micro greens, herbs, and lettuce for the restaurant and food service sectors; and a gaming lounge to stage gaming tournaments and appeal to aging gamers and their game savvy children.
Past competitors and winners have continued to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The Alaska Distillery continues to extend its product line with the successful introduction of Purgatory Vodka this month. Those creative minds behind Gear Spoke seek to the answer that eternal Alaskan question, how do I leverage my existing outdoor gear, so I can finance still more gear? And, Great Northern Peonies is one of more than 50 peony farms developing throughout Alaska by leveraging the counter-cyclical Alaska growing season that just so happens to coincide with the summer wedding season.
Adding to the ecosystem
While efforts to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Alaska are ongoing, new sources of financing and the energy of creative entrepreneurs provide a solid foundation to help accelerate the development of new Alaska businesses, jobs, and ongoing opportunities. What steps do you think we need to take to nurture Alaska entrepreneurs? Please share your comments and suggestions!
