"Sire, ... you reign over two peoples. In Belgium there are Walloons and Flemings. There are no Belgians."There's a long-standing joke about famous Belgians or the lack thereof. The facts are different. Modern Belgium (Dutch: Belgi�, French: Belgique, German: Belgien), officially known as the Kingdom of Belgium (Dutch: Koninkrijk Belgi�, French: Royaume de Belgique, German: K�nigreich Belgien), is something of a historical anomaly. Throughout the middle ages, the wool trade in Flanders made towns like Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp among the most prosperous in the world. It's worth noting that in 1302 the French lost the 'Battle of the Golden Spurs'. It's one of first times in the middle ages where heavy cavalry was annihilated by infantry, coming a few years after the battle of Stirling. It was especially painful for the French because the Flemish soldiers were mostly non-noble (or, as in the parlance of the time, lowborn) and not that interested in taking prisoners for ransom, which resulted in a very large number of French nobles dying in battle, rather than being captured and paroled, the usual treatment for defeated noblemen. Hence the name, the golden spurs were worn by rich nobility and it is said that after the battle over 500 of them were taken from the battlefield. Among the dead were the French commander and the chief advisor to the king of France. The date of the battle is the national holiday of Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Through a very savvy marital politic, the various local principalities, one by one (except the Prince-Bishopric of Li�ge, which, being governed by Catholic Bishops, could make no marital alliances, for obvious reasons), became the possession of the Dukes of Burgundy. The King of Spain then inherited these "Low Countries" and modern Belgium and the Netherlands became the Spanish Netherlands, while the principalty of Li�ge belonged to the German Confederation. Eventually, the mostly Calvinist Dutch attempted to break away, but succeeded only partially, with the northern Netherlands (mostly swampy and poor at the time) securing their independence from the Spanish (after an 80 year long war). However, the Dutch proved incapable of defeating the Spanish on land, and so the southern Netherlands, today comprising all of Belgium, and some of France and Germany, remained under Spanish sovereignty, after which the remaining Flemish Calvinists (most had fled to the independent Dutch Republic, where they helped make the new state a world power) were ruthlessly Catholicized. The Southern Netherlands then passed into the hands of the Austrian Habsburgs, after the Spanish Habsburgs (the major branch) died out, to be replaced by the French Bourbon family, becoming the Austrian Netherlands. During their rebellion of 1788-1790 against the Enlightened autocrat Emperor Joseph II, these declared their independence as the United Belgian States (the Belgian tricolor of black, yellow, and red also dates back to the revolution of 1788). The new nation was named after a Celtic tribe from the region which already had given its name to the province that had encompassed the northern part of Roman Gaul. However, a bad split between liberals and Catholic conservatives soon developed and enabled the Austrians to put down the rebellion/revolution. Soon after, the region was conquered by the Revolutionary French armies and added to the French Republic (later Empire) in 1795. Shortly before the Battle of Waterloo (which took place just south of Brussels), the Kingdom of the United Netherlands was created at the Congress of Vienna from the former Dutch Republic (which itself had given way to the French puppet Batavian Republic), the former Austrian Netherlands (including Luxembourg) and the former {Prince-Bishopric of Li�ge. The Southern Netherlands however protested against the reign, mainly because of the fact that they were obligated to speak Dutch (while there was a region that spoke French) and the fact that Wilhelm 1 was an enlightened king and enforced neutrality in religion by making universities that are tolerant towards those religions (which of course enraged both the Southern Dutch democrats and Roman-Catholics). In 1830 there was an opera shown called De Stomme van Portici which led towards a very nationalist protest against the practices of king Wilhelm 1, which eventually was a success and forced Wilhelm 1 to see The Southern Netherlands as an independent country. To placate Prussia (who saw Belgium as a potential French pawn), Belgium declared eternal neutrality and this was guaranteed by Britain and France, who promised to defend Belgium if attacked, and attack Belgium if she was the aggressor. (Declaring neutrality made logical sense as well, since Belgium was a small country—Belgium at war would hold out about a week or two longer than neutral Belgium.) This would come back to bite all concerned in the collective ass later. At the same time, the eastern half of the grand duchy of Luxembourg (which since 1815 also belonged to the German Confederation) was separated from Belgium as a nation in its own right, though it was technically the personal property of the kings of the Netherlands. In 1831 the Belgians elected themselves a king, Leopold I, from the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the same family as the British royal family (descended from Queen Victoria's consort Prince Albert), which renamed itself Windsor during the First World War, to distance itself from the Germans. Thanks to a few Belgian entrepreneurs that made plans to steal machines from British industries Belgium underwent a major industrial revolution (the whole place was bursting with coal, iron, and sulphur), after which Belgium become one of the most industrialized states in Europe. Further down the line, the Belgians acquired colonies during the Scramble for Africa in what is today the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. The Belgian Congo became infamous for its horrible treatment of the native Africans. (Heart of Darkness is set there). And by horrible, we mean that in Belgian Congoa single bullet was literally worth more than the life of a native man (soldiers stationed in Congo had to produce the severed right hand of a native to justify every fired bullet, which meant that soldiers had to go out and slaughter a few natives every once in a while to explain missed shots). In 1914, Germany violated Belgium's neutrality, as they were using it as a back-door to invade France, activating the United Kingdom's responsibilities as the guarantor of Belgian neutrality. When the Belgians refused to co-operate, Germany invaded, and although the stories have been wildly exaggerated since, certainly didn't conduct themselves enormously well: it has been dubbed "The Rape of Belgium", which at the time was a much less emotive term and meant "sacking and plundering". This invasion caused Britain's entry into the war. Technically, Belgium was never completely occupied. As World War I slowed down into long, slow trench warfare, small part of Belgian soil remained unconquered. Belgium as a nation was completely crushed by German economic exploitation and ceaseless warfare. Ypres and Passchendale, sites of several of World War I's bloodiest and most pointless battles, are in Belgium. The poem 'In Flanders fields' is one of the best-known World War I poems and The Poppy, which normally doesn't grow in numbers in Flanders, became a symbol. In 1940, Germany invaded again, and was even less civil than the first time. Belgium was overrun very quickly - as with France, its leaders had prepared for a retread of World War One and relied on stationary forts for defence. Paratroopers, gliders and tanks rendered them harmless in a matter of hours. This wasn't helped by the Belgian government desperately clinging to the hope that the Germans might leave them alone this time and not co-operating with the French and British defence plans until they were actually under attack. Belgian pilots fought Battle of Britain contributed to La R�sistance. Belgium had a weird influence on both World Wars. A Belgian weapon (manufactured by FN) was used by Gavrilo Princip to kill Franz Ferdinand, thus starting World War I. World War II was ended by the bomb on Hiroshima, which used uranium mined in Congo, at that time a Belgian colony. Belgium was a founding member of NATO and The European Union, and home to many of the institutions of both organisations, and serves as the de facto capital of the European Union. It has adopted the Euro, replacing the former "money" that was the Belgian franc. "Brussels" is often used as a journalistic metonym for the EU, especially where stories involve faceless bureaucrats and/or apparently bizarre decisions taken by same. For Added Alliterative Appeal, they are often "Barmy Brussels Bureaucrats", or sometimes just "Eurocrats". The EU's main bodies are divided between Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg, with the EU Parliament actually located both in Brussels and in the French city. The current king is Philippe, whose official title is "King of the Belgians" rather than "King of Belgium", to distinguish him as a monarch who rules by popular will, rather than by legal or divine right The whole "Boring Belgium" thing has never really extended to the cuisine. It's known for its chocolate as well as waffles and mussels. "French fries" also originated in Belgium. However, Belgium's true culinary pride and joy are its breweries; Belgium is basically the world's beer Heaven, making the finest beers in the world. Belgium has more breweries per capita than any other country, and includes several "Trappist breweries" managed by monks. Attention to detail is so high that each brand of Belgian beer has its own goblet specifically designed to enhance its characteristics, and Belgian brewers in general are some of the best and most creative in the world.note The beer is one thing that the Flemings and Walloons will absolutely agree gives them some points of commonality and sets them off from their neighbors; France is better known for wine, and Dutch and German beer is quite different from the Belgian. The entire family of saxophones were invented by Adolphe Sax, born in Dinant, Belgium. Patent taken for France in 1848. There are ten kinds of saxophones. The dynamo was invented by Z�nobe Gramme, born in Jeday-Bodegn�e, Belgium. The famous and long-running comic book Tintin comes from Belgium. As do several other Belgian Comics. (In the 1990s it was said that only three things hold Belgium together - the royal family, the Red Devils (the national football/soccer team), and comics!) In the English-speaking world the best-known Belgian comics characters apart from Tintin and co. are probably Lucky Luke, The Smurfs and Marsupilami. In the world of music, Belgium is probably best known for 20th-century songwriter Jacques Brel, and its techno music, particularly on Maurice Engelen aka Praga Khan, and his most famous project, porno-house group Lords Of Acid. Also noteworthy: Belgium has three official languages, namely Dutch (in the smaller, but more populous, north), French (in the larger, but less populated south) and German (a tiny area in the east). English is also the lingua franca in many European institutions in Brussels. The Belgian dialects of Dutch are known as Flemish. Some places in the southern part of the country, Wallonia, also have Walloon, a set of threatened Romance languages closely related to but distinct from French.note Actual German is only spoken in two cities, Eupen and Malmedy, which were transferred from Germany to Belgium after WW1 in a referendum which required voters to give their name and address to the occupying armies, prompting Germans to be a bit careful about who they voted for. Yes, Belgians are used to linguistic confusion, it's a fact of life! Not just confusion even - entire governments have been brought down over linguistic arguments that might seem incredibly petty to outsiders, such as the debate over the Voeren/Fourons. And every organization (like political parties, unions and so on) effectively exists twice: Once in the French part, once in the Flemish part. An outsider watching a Belgian political debate may be surprised by the garishly coloured clothes worn by the politicians. This is because each major party is strongly attached to a colour (Red for the socialists, blue for the liberals, orange for the (ex-) Christian-democrats and green for the ecologists) and it has become an habit for the politicians to mark their allegiance by an article of clothing (most commonly a shirt, necktie or bow tie, but also eyeglasses frames or even a dress suit). The Belgian politician fears no ridicule (or are just that good in modern marketing). A related trend is the nicknaming of the governmental coalitions (often formed with six or more parties of sometimes widely different ideologies) by a plant (or other) name alluding to the blend of their colours. Witness "the rainbow" (for a socialist/ecologist/liberal alliance); "the violet" (socialist/liberal); "the olive tree" (socialist/ecologist/Christian-democrat); or "the blue orange" (Christian-democrat/liberal). The eternal political struggle between its two major regions is infamous in Europe and beyond. The political structure of Belgium is designed to prevent either region from imposing its will upon the other in keeping with the national motto 'Strength through Unity'. In practice this tends to lead to obstructionism: both regions often block political decisions by the other region, either on principle or to demand corresponding benefits for their own region. Any decisions that do make it out tend to be heavily delayed and carefully weighed. The struggle reflects the differences between the impoverished left-wing Wallonia with its old industries and the wealthy knowledge-based right-wing Flanders. This creates an imbalance between tax income and government spending, popularly described as a cash flow from Flanders to Wallonia intended to support Walloon economic development but sometimes considered to disappear into the pockets of a massive bureaucracy and a large number of state-dependent unemployed. Between this inequality, the corruption associated with certain political parties (notably the Walloon Socialist Party) and the heavy involvement of social partners (= trade unions) in politics, the government finds it exceedingly difficult to slim down to pay off its mounting debt and improve the economy at the tail end of the economic crisis. The economy does seem to improve by itself though, and a sovereign debt crisis has been narrowly avoided. In April 2010, the federal government was been brought down over the long-running debate surrounding the electoral arrondissement of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde (BHV for most Belgians), this electoral arrondissement allows Walloon politicians to be elected on Flemish soil, angering Flemish nationalists who feel threatened by an encroaching "Frenchification" . It's not the first time that this debate caused trouble, either. After the general elections of June 2007, it took six months for a new government to be formed, partly because of this debate. The 2010 crash led to new elections in June 2010 where the Flemish winner was a rising right-wing confederalist party NVA with the eventual goal of secession, and the Walloon winner was the socialist party, a party seen as traditionally unitary. Finally, on December 6th 2011 (540 days after the elections) a new government was formed, along with solving the BHV matter. Belgium now holds the world record of "longest government formation".note The formation gave Belgium Elio Di Rupo of the Francophone Socialist Party as Prime Minister: the first openly gay man to hold the office, the first openly gay male elected head of government, the first openly gay head of government on the European continent (Iceland had chosen a lesbian PM a year or so earlier), the first Francophone PM in Belgium since 1979, and the first Belgian PM who was neither an ethnic Fleming nor an ethnic Walloon (his parents were immigrants from Italy). The state reform that concluded the formation is usually referred to as the "Butterfly Agreement"note after Di Rupo's memetic bowtienote .
Tropes associated with Belgium:
The flag's black, yellow and red colors derive from those of the Duchy of Brabant, the territory of which included the major cities of Brussels and Antwerp. The colors are also used in the flags of Flanders (black lion on yellow field) and Wallonia (red rooster on yellow field).

Planar Offers Continuing Education Class about Video Walls for Architects and Designers Leading architects and designers can now learn how to incorporate digital media walls into their plans as part of the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Program AIA Convention 2013 Booth # 3907 Business Wire PORTLAND, Ore. -- June 20, 2013 Today, Planar Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLNR), a global leader in digital display technology, in cooperation with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), announced it has launched a new continuing education credit class entitled Designing Media Walls: Imagery, Video and Information on Digital Canvases. Planar recently became an AIA Cornerstone Partner, and will offer the Continuing Education System (CES) class to AIA's nearly 80,000 members. The free class, which was created for architects and interior designers, offers a primer on video wall technology. Specifically, participants will learn: *Function and components of a video wall system *Detailed technical specifications of a video wall *Key design considerations for assembling a complete video wall solution *New trends and innovative uses of video walls Planar video walls are installed worldwide in airports, museums, sports venues, hospitals, universities and retail showrooms. Planar tiled LCD technology is preferred for its off-board electronics design which reduces weight, heat, points of failure, and mounted depth, allowing for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). "Increasingly, architects and designers are incorporating technologically advanced designs into their corporate, healthcare, hospitality, retail and residential building projects," said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing at Planar Systems. "Being an AIA Cornerstone Partner and offering AIA CES credit sessions is an important part of our commitment to the architectural industry and design community." Participants taking Planar's Designing Media Walls session will earn one learning unit of credit with health, safety and welfare (HSW). AIA architect members are required to complete 18 hours of continuing education per year for membership renewal, and CES credits help architects in many states meet their state licensing board's mandatory continuing education (MCE) requirements. Planar initially will offer the class by appointment at architectural firms throughout the United States. Over time, the course will be made generally available through Planar reseller offices, AIA local chapter offices and as a webinar. "Designing Media Walls was an excellent introduction to the architectural potential of video displays," said Ernie Staley, architect with CH2M Hill & IDC Architects. "The course gave me a solid foundation to begin incorporating media walls into our designs. Of the many AIA Continuing Education courses I've attended, this was definitely one of the most useful and informative." Planar provides one-of-a-kind video wall expertise based on over 30 years of digital display innovation. The company also offers a variety of desktop and touch screen monitors favored by architects and designers for their Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) work and large format displays for conference room presentations. In March, Planar announced that 3D BIM models of select Planar large format LCD displays and video walls are available free through the Autodesk® Seek web service, allowing architects, engineers and designers to easily download 3D models of Planar displays. The recently introduced Planar® Mosaic™ architectural video wall solution will be on display at the AIA Expo in Denver, CO, June 20 – 22, Booth # 3907.

Used this product for a backdrop. Rolled it out, cut it to the size I wanted, then taped it to a 4'x8' sheet of rigid foam insulation and presto...perfect backdrop for a scene in our Christmas play! This preprinted roll saved me a TON of money and time!
Best Uses
This was used at the entrance of a school dance to create the feeling of a classic family room. It went up very quickly and due to its thinness was easy to handle. The pattern made it easy to hang and match.
Best Uses
We have used this for a couple of years at our company holiday party. It does add character to themes when decorating.
Best Uses
Twice I have orded this type of product and I called to ask how long it was I knew it was 4 leet high but in the past they have said 50 feet long, and it turned out to be 40 so I called and they said it ws 40 feet long and it was 30.
10 feet is a big difference so we adjust the set to use what we had. we had to cut two 4' sections. I wish they would be more accurate in descriptions.
Best Uses
I used a lot for Haloween and I will use it for Christmas
Best Uses
Although the wallpaper is a bit thin and can rip easily, it was good for my purpose. I have a small performing arts studio with a limited number of performances so I thought it could withstand my use. If it needed to last multiple times and take any physical abuse, I don't think it would be the right product for someone.
Best Uses
worked great for our christmas program about being at grandmas house

Lee's StoryMy hubby calls this poor man's pecan pie.
8" prepared pie shell
stick buter
1 tsp
2/3 c
2/3 c
light or dark karo
2/3 c
oatmeal (not fast cooking)
Directions Step-By-Step
1Melt butter and sugars. Let cool.
2Beat in eggs and then reamaining ingredients. Beat well.
3Pour into pie shell and bake at 325 degrees
About this Recipe
Course/Dish: Pies
Theresa MacPhail Rolie - Aug 17, 2012
Why is this called "Oatmeal Pie" when there is not oatmeal in it? Just wondering or was something missed from this recipe and how much of it,it so. It looks more like some king of chess pie. Just saying...
Marty Ann AZgal - Aug 17, 2012
No oatmeal?
Tina Swain WisMs - Aug 17, 2012
I put oatmeal and coconut and walnuts in mine....to die for!!
Jean Campbell gwashington1961 - Aug 18, 2012
Lee I also was looking for oatmeal. Was the pie crust pre-baked or just shaped into an 8" pan? You say to pour the ingredients into the crust, and bake at 325 degrees ---- but for how long? The ingredients (aside from the missing oatmeal) are listed with the 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup light or dark Karo (syrup?). In your first instruction you say, "Melt butter and sugars. Let cool." Do you mean to just melt the butter with the granulated sugar, or also add the Karo - too? If those are also the start of the filling, then instruction #2 says "to beat the eggs and remaining ingredients (vanilla all that's left). Then just to - beat well." Are you calling for beating the melted butter mix and eggs together? I am not intending to criticize - I would like to try the "poor man's pecan pie", but I feel that I am not getting all the ingredients as well as the full instructions.
Tina Swain put oatmeal, coconut, and walnuts in her pie and was happy to have what her pie yielded. (Sounds great to me - but, it's not the "poor man's pecan pie"). I would appreciate seeing her pie recipe, as it sounds very tasty to me.
Lee, I hope you will re-read your recipe, and tell us what it is we are missing? I am fully ready to admit that I may just not be making the correct connections - aside from the missing oatmeal. Please will you add the rest of the ingredients and instructions to this recipe? Thanks for posting this on JAP. There are lots of people with special talent in pies, who may be able to help if you need it. LOL :-)
Tina Swain WisMs - Aug 18, 2012

I have used this thing a bunch since I have got it. It worked awesome for cutting door trim when I was replacing flooring. Scraping glue as well as any flush cutting operation is a breeze with this tool. It is a bit pricey compared to others but I think it is work the extra to get good quality.

AUSTIN - The State of Texas is going after a group that claimed to raise funds for "local" veterans, but instead is accused of funneling the money out of state to the benefit of the the organizers.
Attorney General Greg Abbott's application for an injunction against the Veterans Support Organizations claims more than $2.5 million in donations were received from Texans thinking they were helping veterans in their communities.
The state claims the VSO asked for donations in Bell, Bexar, Dallas, Harris, Hays, Nueces and Travis counties. According to court documents, at least 70 percent of the money was diverted to Florida or Rhode Island.
The Attorney General's office also alleges members of the group were operating a housing program to help veterans, but only owned two homes in Austin and Dallas that consisted of rooms rented to people who could pay, whether or not they were veterans.
Damages are also be sought in the range of $100,000 to one million against the VSO and defendants Richard Vanhouten, Michelle Vanhouten, Steven Casella, and Robert Cruz.

Nippon Telegraph & Telephone's Management Discusses F2Q 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
As far Global Business revenue, in tripled compare to the second quarter fiscal year 2010 and reached $5.4 billion. So we had hope to achieve $8 billion at the end of this fiscal and we also have hope to achieve $10 billion of global business revenue in March 2013. However we believe that will be able to achieve $10 billion of global business revenue at the end of this fiscal year, which means that we are able to achieve this target one year ahead of our original target.
Let me now turn to return to our shareholders in July we carried share buyback of 58 million for 20 billion yen. And furthermore a resolution was adopted by the board today for cancellation of 125 million shares of treasury stock and for a buyback of up to an additional 44 million shares. Now through the share buyback carried out at this fiscal year and due to the increase in our operating income. We believe about that EPS for the current fiscal year will increased 10.5% year-on-year and will reached 425.48 yen.
Let me now turn to three. This provides have the highlights of the consolidated result. Operating revenue was 5 trillion, 154.6 billion yen, which represents an increase of 125.5 billion yen on our year-on-year basis. Well voice service revenue declined we had expanded consolidation for Dimension Data and Keane. And also as I mentioned earlier we had increased sales of smartphones and also increased in ARPU. And also we saw increase in fixed line IP service revenue inclusive of FLET'S Hikari subscriber base. So that is – so these are the factors behind us result. As for operating income and to the communication and NTT Data experienced increase in their profit, however at DOCOMO and NTT East and NTT West there was a declining profit. So, operating income is excepted decline 41.5 billion yen on a year-on-year basis.

.- The Donostiarra Choir, the most prestigious in Spain, will sing for Pope Benedict XVI at the final Mass for World Youth Day 2011.
The youth event will take place in Madrid, Spain on Aug. 15-21, 2011.
World Youth Day 2011 organizers said the Donostiarra Choir is "an amateur choir," composed of 185 voices. "Attesting to its greatness is an extensive list of awards that demonstrates it is the most important choir in Spain and one of the best in the world."
Bishop José Ignacio Munilla of San Sebastián noted that he hopes "the Holy Father will enjoy your performance, as he has a great ear and a highly refined soul. Above all, I hope you lift the hearts of the young people who will participate in this event."
The General Coordinator of WYD 2011, Auxiliary Bishop Cesar Franco, also expressed his gratitude for the choir's collaboration. Their participation is an expression of the profound desire for this event to demonstrate "the path of beauty that leads to God," he said.
The choir's director, Jose Antonio Sainz Alfaro, explained that the repertoire for the two events has not yet been finalized, "but we would like to sing both religious music as well as folklore pieces from different parts of Spain."

Nurse Tracking Devices: Whats Your Opinion? - page 2
The hospital I work for has changed our classification to "associates" and "partners in healthcare". They are redoing our evaluations to reflect "objective criteria" for evaluations rather than the current "subjective criteria". ... Read More
- 0Jun 28, '01 by Julie, RNALISHAJO,
B/c the unit clerk can call me wherever I am and tell me what the pt wants (pain/nausea meds, bathrm needs, nutrition, beeping IV, chemo spill, etc....). Plus if your in the middle of a very busy task that you cannot step away from you can tell the unit clerk and she with either send an aide, another nurse, or ask the pt if they can wait. At my old hospital we used a beeper system where I had to report to the nurses station to find out who called me - this was very time consuming.
Addressing some of the posters concerns:
I understand all of your apprehensions, but the bottom line is (just my personal opinion)... if your do your job as you should (if needed you can get this info from your job description)), no one should have a thing to worry about.
No one has been penalized on my floor /c this system.
Our system registers us within a minute of beeing in the pt's room.
Last edit by Julie, RN on Jun 28, '01
- 0Jun 28, '01 by suzanne_58At the hospital I work at we have been using this type of system for over 3 years. At first, we hated it for various reasons, but mostly we felt we couldn't take a bathroom break without someone knowing where we were. We now have an even more powerful system that allows pts to "ring out" and ask for icecream, soda's etc and it goes directly to dietary where the diet techs bring it to them. Requests for medications go right to the nurse and bedpans etc go to the techs first. If they are tied up, then we get a reminder page and can take care of the pts needs. I just love it. And if the techs are fooling around, then they should be traced to see which ones are the problem. And we ALL know about that situation. When Docs or family call, the right person gets the page. It's great for night shift, then you aren't disturbing pts when it is called overhead. Give it a chance, you just might like it. I know I do. Time spent running here and there for things, when you are in the middle of a huge med pass, really helps save time.
- 0Jun 28, '01 by ladybyrdThe feeling among the most of the staff has been: "keep an eye over your shoulder, and your back to the wall"...Recently, I spoke to a former middle manager, who said our perseptions are correct and that she couldnt take the control from up above anymore, so she left.
In simple terms, the top people are "obsessive coumpulsive controlers" & the middle management's response to this control is to attempt to control the staff even more! Now with this "new system" going into effect, its as though 'BIG BROTHER' will be clocking in with you and watching your every move...waiting for you to screw up and then OUT you go!!!
Living in a dictatorship that (honestly) calls itself a dictatorship is "easier" than living in one that (dishonestly) calls itself a democracy, but exibits ultimate control at every turn...then says "you" are the one with trust issues!!
- 0Jun 28, '01 by suzanne_58Originally posted by majic65
Interesting concept--could we use it to prove that we never get to take breaks and/or meals? Seems to me if it can be used to "catch" those who goof off, it should also be used to negotiate additional staff. Anybody who has this system ever use it for that?
HHMMM now that IS a very interesting concept. Maybe I just might mention that to my manager. That may be an eye opener for her
- 0Jun 28, '01 by SharonH, RNWhile I can appreciate the frustration encountered while trying to find a coworker or CNA to peform some duty, I feel this is not the way. A tracker sounds degrading to me. It also sounds like an invasion of privacy. I like the idea of mobile phones much better, they serve the purpose of furthering patient care without insulting the nurse or her dignity.
- 0Jun 29, '01 by tillie1when my husband was a pt recently the nurses at the facility he was in carried phones. i found it very distracting to have that phone going off several times when she was going over post op instructions, doing drsg changes etc. he said it went off 5 times that morning when she was doing his assessment. what about when you just want to go in and check an iv of hang a piggy back and the pt is finally getting some much needed sleep? talk about a rude awakening!! i did not ask her if the phone had a vibrator option, sure hope so!/

Chetto project starting soon
We are happy to announce that training for our latest bicycle shop project will begin in November 2014. The shop, at the village of Chetto in Namibia's Zambezi region, will be run by members of the local San community. The team are all HIV/AIDS home based care volunteers under the guidance of Catholic AIDS Action. We expect the shop to have a huge impact in the local community.
Namibia's San are among Namibia's most disadvantaged people. They face huge barriers in accessing services, as their communities are usually located long distances from service centres. San educational attainment is among the lowest of any group in Namibia. The new bicycle shop will help local people to reach vital services, children to get to school, and profits will support local orphans and vulnerable children.
The shop will be implemented in partnership with UK bicycle charity Re-Cycle, which has already shipped 400 bicycles to get the project started.
First bike shops in Madagascar and Kenya
BEN Namibia's successful community bicycle shop model has grown to 32 outlets here, and is now being adopted in new countries. We're happy to report that with our support, our partners Transaid have delivered the first two new bike shop projects in Madagascar, after team members toured Namibia to learn from our experiences.
BEN Namibia's Michael Linke has visited Madagascar three times to advise on delivering bicycles to healthcare volunteers and the establishment of bicycle shops. The delivery of the first two shops is a significant milestone, and there are already plans for more, which will be run by healthcare volunteers.
A second visit to Kenya in August will help our local partner, Wheels of Africa, to develop their own network of partner bicycle shops, with the first project having opened recently in the Kibera slum.
Recognition from Financial Times
BEN Namibia has been 'highly commended' in the Financial Times' Urban Ingenuity Awards, announced in New York. The awards recognise excellence in providing solutions for urban issues, and received entries from 44 countries. We were proud to share the stage with the overall winner, Sanergy, another African entrant.

Looks like Ghostface will have some fresh blood to spill, after the announcement that Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell will appear in
Scream 4.
And whilst the pasty slasher might not get to sink his knife into either of them, the fact that shooting has been underway for several weeks would suggest that they're going to be knife fodder, rather than key players.
We've got our money on the duo appearing in a Barrymore-esque pre-credits scene, with both meeting a sticky end before audiences have made a dent in their popcorn.
Whilst USA Today had previously hinted at the pair's involvement, official confirmation came from Dimension pictures yesterday.
Paquin and Bell will swell an already impressive roster of stars including original cast memnbers Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, as well as new additions Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, and Adam Brody.
Scream 4 should be arriving in US screens on April 15 2011. Start brushing up on your horror franchise trivia now…

text: EFFECT ON THE PATRIOTS 1. Players at minimum (vet and regular) will get more money. 2. Money will be available for extensions so that at least a couple these players can make more now (Seymour, Koppen, Branch, Graham and Samuel). 3. Free agency will have a one-year cost bubble. The patriots will be very likely to sign any top free agents, or any at much above the new minimum. 4. Other teams will waste cap money. 5. Extensions are easier because contract length can be as much as seven years, instead of four (three year extension). This certainly affects Brady's contract and perhaps a couple of others. 6. The patriots will be relatively worse off in 2006 and benefit thereafter. After all, some of those who overpay will be adding major contributers.

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Melbourne, Australia
Submitted: November 04, 2005
Tell us a little about yourself. My wife and I are full-time missionaries with YWAM. We are currentlly located in Australia and have just relocated from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast where we are directors of YWAM on the Sunshine Coast. Our personal mission is to raise up and release the emerging generation into world missions and their crazy God given destiny.
What was your motivation behind this project? Simply that young people would be assured that God wants to use them, can use them...will use them. That he has a destiny for their lives.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I believe with all my heart that the emerging generation have more gifting, talent, ability and calling than any previous generation. I believe that God has a huge, wild, crazy destiny for each, and that if they will dare to believe this destiny and grab it greedily they will change the course of our history and impact nations and generations like never before. It is my hope that in reading these stories young people will be convinced that God loves to use young people (teenagers) - and dare to believe and grab hold of their destiny.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I love the writings of Brennan Manning and Phillip Yancey, but my main inspiration for this book was Youth with a Mission - YWAM (of which I am a part). YWAM creates an enviroment that champions young people and challenges them to hear God's voice and follow hotly after him.

what i would like you to explain is how HMG hopes to find 500 billion to bail out our banks when our public debt is already in the region of 50% of GDP...neither brown or darling have given an inkling as to from where they think this vast amount can be found...it is just too much to borrow or raise through increased taxation...their only course would be to print it thereby leading us down the zimbabe road
Its interesting to always see debt figures for the UK in terms of Net Public Sector debt compared to trhe Eurozone which reports in terms of Gross Debt. This obviously makes the UK look better as there is virtually no difference between the gross and the net measure, given that the UK government has realtively low assets. This is not true for the eurozone where governments have substantial non-financial assets in the form of shareholdings in quoted companies as well as financial assets in the form of pension reserve funds. Maybe we could all have a better understanding of the real comparative situation of the UK economy if the economist would try to be a little more rigorous hwen publishing comparative statistics.
The current financial crisis is gripping all world markets, but in Britain we have additional self-inflicted problems. The Labour government has spent heavily on public services without carrying out any structural reforms. Over the last decade the terms of trade for those in the public sector have improved, while for the wealth-creating private sector they have deteriorated. Except at the very top, wages for similar work are better in the public sector, with less job volatility, and of course the wonderful pension. By contrast in the public sector, defined contribution pensions are plummeting thanks to markets, and also suffer from the notorious dividend tax take. I think that the total cost of providing retirement for state sector employees is the elephant in the room, and will ultimately hamper an economic recovery. Also the lavish employment terms deter the best and brightest from working for our small and medium size enterprises which generate the wealth on which the state depends.
There are some inevitable error in terms of the reference to the article. The comments were originally meant for another article about how the UK banks are starting to help one another and starting to foster a better relationship with other countries/nations. However the latter part of my suggestions/views about what can the world government do about this issue remain the same.
All errors are deeply regretted.
Thanks and regards.

I think this is a great start as the US is experiencing great turbulence. Almost every experts in the world including Asia have commenced their efforts to charter the implications of this year's credit crisis.
You can never be too contented. Not too long ago, everyone is aiming at the renaissance of China but with the current condition they are facing, it may potentially be a little while before their internal problems can be stabilized if not solved fully.
However I'm not going to overlap the contents of this article but rather expressing my very own opinion of what can we all learn from this.
I humbly think that the financial market should be slowly integrated to become a global network or hub. Except for US, I've seen efforts towards implementing such plans. I'm also shocked to know the rate of countries retreating from Euro these days.
US on the other hand; if not properly controlled; may affect even to the security matters - just wait if New York started to feel the pinch and everything will start to lead to one problem to another. (esp. security matters) I do not know if US need to cut down on foreign assistance at the moment - but if this is the case, then the fiscal pinch may affect the amount of such aid. If I may say, I hope that New York can start efforts of working together with other financial hubs like London for e.g. to become a network of global capitals. The only setback is the global political stability as whenever there are plans of more effective and beneficial integration, the political element has to be part and parcel of financial market. Of course, I don't need to tell how much US can save by less interfering in other countries internal affairs as what have been done in Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. US Bush Administration has tried their best to save their economy but it is too sluggish - I hope we can all crush the ego and restrategize - try to create a better relationships with other countries in the ASEAN for e.g. - the US have tried too many models and these models just don't work effectively...
We can no longer depend on IMF, World Bank (now almost irrelevant) and even the UN (they themselves are now in hot soup despite funded the US) but we have to do something NOW to create a healthier market - e.g. making more rooms for reserves. We know that UN's stand on Darfur, Georgia & Pakistan - total silence for unknown reason.
When I talk about integration or interdepence, I'm not really pointing towards globalization as it is still a concept of uncertainty that may become a friend or a foe. That is too much for a small guy like me to anticipate. Just referring to the good ol' concept working together as a team.
This 'teamwork' may lead to good global financial governance will create better monetary policies, securities regulations and even signifcant changes can be made to auditing and accounting standards.
Where would be the ideal starting point? The answer is the first tier - Banking and Financial Institutions. I would like to open this suggestion to Asia (or SEA) as Asia is a very unique continent that has always found a way towards survival. (perhaps some democratization of financial policies should be in place) Most important is TRUST and coordinated efforts one another - as every bankers and financiers have all the knowledge. (Don't wait for someone else to start first) There should be no more too much dependency on certain elite groups or industries that are 'controlling the financial world' and we have seen the impact when these 'big mega industries' started to fall.
With total world debt being well in excess of $100 trillion (personal, corporate, institutional and government) and the US's and UK's total debt hovering towards $53 trillion and 10.5-times GDP respectfully, there is no wonder that we are at the start of a global recession. With such colossal figures of debt, amassed significantly over the last ¼ century and in total being between two and three years of total global economic output, we have many years to come of austerity and economic downturn to look forward to. Even worst is if we borrow even more like our politicians are doing and where we eventually end up like Zimbabwe, with hunger, lawlessness and socio-economic collapse? For the root problem is debt and common sense dictates that if we continue to borrow and borrow, eventually money becomes worthless. Therefore our politicians would be better using their time, efforts and power to start afresh and accept that the next decade is a period of fundamental change in how the development of the world proceeds. If not, they will definitely oversee the destruction of far more of what we see today than the 10-years of pain required to re-engineering the world order and crucial sustainable change. Indeed, in twenty-five years time if we do not change our development processes (capitalism, super-capitalism, globalization et al), we will look back and see that the financial crisis was just a mere storm in a teacup in comparison to what problems we shall have in 2033. The vision is of nightmarish proportions with substantially dwindling natural resources to sustain human life and climate change meeting head on with 8. 5 billion mouths to feed. We have definitely to change for our own good to the economics of sustainability-need and to the preservation of the human experience itselfDr. David HillWorld Innovation Foundation Charity (WIFC)Bern, Switzerland
I usually consider the Economist to be above the dross that purports to be the UK Media. i would have thought that you would heve reported more of the facts about RBS - they wish to issue GBP5bn in preferenec shares taken up by HMG and GBP15bn at 65.5 pence each from shareholders, but underwrittn by HMG. The fact that HMG is acting in this way is very difrferent from the position of "...in return for substantial stakes—around 60% in RBS..." as indicated on your front page on the web.

August 11, 2014By Brian Cox of INDIANA SPORTS PAGE
2013 Record: 8-5, 5-3
Virginia Tech football hasn't been the same over the last two years winning only 15 games combined. That's concern after the Hokies had eight consecutive years with 10 wins or more. If Virginia Tech is to get back to 10 wins this season, they will have to find a way to solve the quarterback situation and stabilize the offensive line.
Junior Michael Brewer will be the starting quarterback with sophomore Brenden Motley and fifth-year senior Mark Leal looking to compete for the backup spot. Brewer is a transfer from Texas Tech and is coming off a back injury that forced him to miss the first month of the season. Brewer graduated in May, but still last two years of eligibility. The one big issue for all three quarterbacks is their lack of varsity action and how they will respond under pressure situations.
The running game is in good shape with sophomore Trey Edmunds and sophomore Sam Rogers looking to start at halfback and fullback respectively with JC Coleman looking to get time as well this season. The receiving corps is strong behind Dimitri Knowles and Josh Standford. Junior Ryan Malleck will take over as the starting tight end. Three starters return on the line including right tackle Laurence Gibson, center Caleb Ferris and left tackle Jonathan McLaughlin. Wyatt Teller is expected to take over at left guard with Augie Conte starting it right guard.
Virginia Tech's defense was solid last year giving up only 19.3 points per game which ranked 11th in the country, 172.7 yards passing which ranked eighth overall and 283.6 yards of total offense which ranked fourth in the nation. Only for starters return from a physical, stingy defense and that is a concern. Coordinator Bud Foster always seems to find the right mix on defense and will count on defensive tackle Luther Maddy and defensive lineman Corey Marshall, who is coming back from a suspension, to make things strong up the middle. Junior DE Dadi Nicholas is expected to be a force from his and position after posting seven tackles for loss and four sacks in a backup role. Maddy posted 13 ½ tackles for loss and 6 ½ sacks last season. All three linebackers will be new including senior Chase Williams, Deon Clark and Ronnie Vandyke. One strength of the defense could be the secondary with returning starters Kendall Fuller, Detrick Bonner and Kyshoen Jarrett. Brandon Facyson will step in at one corner after returning from an injury plagued 2013. Virginia Tech's secondary was ranked eighth in the country in 2013.
If quarterback Michael Brewer is unable to separate himself in camp than Virginia Tech will have a huge issue going into the season. The line has experience but they have lacked consistency and cohesiveness to make the running game more effective. As usual, the defense should be one of the better in the ACC despite returning only for starters. Virginia Tech will find out where they are in the second game of the season when they traveled to Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes on September 6.

In collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the regional office of the Americas for the World Health Organization, the Illustration and Designmatters Departments at Art Center College of Design have partnered on an educational project to develop communication vehicles marketing the concept of "Urban Health" as the theme of World Health Day 2010. Tackling the topic of urban health is an opportunity for students to translate and visualize for a larger public's understanding the weight of the issues that are core determinants affecting the health of our cities and their citizens. Environmental hazards, pollution, waste, violence and safety, traffic congestion, sanitation, socio/economic inequities, lack of access to education and basic health care are but some of the critical issues at stake.
This series of posters, currently in a conceptual stage and awaiting design refinement in the coming weeks, was conceived by a team of nine illustration and graphic design students who are charged with creating the campaign and producing a call to action that can both mobilize communities on a grassroots level and inspire policy change within the governmental sector. The students are also working to develop a secondary series of media messages for the campaign that will span across animated and digital platforms.
Clarifying the complex linkages between urbanization and public health, the campaign represents the opportunity to rally for a more sustainable urban future across North and South America.
The studio's final outcomes will enjoy international distribution by PAHO as part of World Health Day 2010.

Discovery Cruise Review by Walter King: MV Discovery
Walter King

MV Discovery
Cabins small so if going on long cruise pack accordingly. Overview: The ship is spotlessly clean and all crew members including below deck , up to the the captain are gracious and any problem is handled immediately and with a smile. Also, on our cruise a board member of the cruise company was on board and was always on top of everything going on. Passengers were very impressed with the concern shown.
Dining: Food is not gourmet but is very good. You can always find a menu item you will enjoy and if you don't like your choice, your waiter will replace it happily. Do pay attention to the dress code sent prior to sailing as the ship does follow it and passengers do dress for the formal night. This is an older ship (formerly the Princess original Love Boat so do not expect the modern amenities. The toilet does play a tuba song when flushed in your cabin (at least it did in ours. The small group of entertainers did a super job (very talented group) and additional acts were More brought aboard every week. Conclusion: Have been cruising since the 1970's - including two world cruises, and many short and long cruises - only thing missing on this ship are balconies - This is the first ship that the Captain thanked us for cruising with them. Would cruise again on this ship in a heartbeat - Loved it .... Community Manager's Note: 'This review was written when the ship sailed for Voyages of Discovery. As of February 2013, it is now sailing under the Cruises & Maritime banner" Less

(June 13, 2014) While the lifeguards are alertly scanning their area and the water in front of them for signs of danger, trouble is sometimes festering behind their stands this time of year. It's what some refer to as the "Class of 2014." It's a tradition thousands of graduates participate in each year; the trek to Ocean City to enjoy their freedom. Full of confidence, and feeling immune to any dangers, they sometimes allow the excitement of the atmosphere to impede their judgment enough to get them into trouble. When we get a warm sunny day, the water temperatures are inviting. If you add… Read More >

As senior weeks descend upon OC, every year I am amused by the rose-colored glasses people view OC's past through. In the next month I'm sure I will read several comments and stories of people bemoaning that "OC is not the family town it used to be" and similar comments many times in the coming weeks. However, history does not support such claims. There is no question that vandalism, drunkenness, noise, and other bad and criminal behavior are increased in the summer months in OC, especially in June. However, it is wrong to believe that this is a new phenomena and... Read More >
Hey folks, I typically do the beach during the summer when we come down every weekend but this upcoming week I am starting a 10 day stay. I have 2 young kids (7 and 3) and looking to take them to a water park one day. Last year we did Thunder Lagoon. It was pretty decent. I see that Frontier town has a water park. I was wondering if anyone has been to both and could chime in on which might be better for me. FrontierTown is cheaper by about $10/person. But Thunder Lagoon is about 1 mile from my home in OC. Walked there with my older child last year. I'd also be... Read More >
