PM Modi's visit to Bhutan shows the primacy he is giving to S. E.Asia: Neerja Choudhary
Senior journalist and political commentator Neerja Choudhary on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bhutan showed the primacy he was giving to the South East Asia region.
"The Prime Minister's visit to Bhutan shows his primacy to this region. This was already proved by his decision to invite the SAARC leaders to his swearing-in ceremony," said Choudhary.
"Bhutan is small country, but very important. It is landlocked between India and China, and has skillfully maintained its position between the two rival countries. He has chosen Bhutan, because for him, the South Asian region is important. Afterwards, it is the whole of Asia and then the rest of the countries follow in his list," Choudhary said.
On being asked whether Modi wants to improve relations with other SAARC nations, Choudhary said, "This is right, because, till the time your neighborhood is not secure, things will not work out. A country's security lies in the goodwill it has with other countries. If there is no goodwill, then your money will be wasted, as it has happened in the case of Pakistan. Therefore, it is a welcome step."
She also said that as Prime Minister Modi has said that if you want to develop the country, then states need to be developed. The same can be applied to the South East Asian region also.
Modi will undertake his first foreign trip as head of government to Bhutan on June 15 and 16.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and senior officials will accompany the Prime Minister, the foreign secretary said.
The Prime Minister will meet his majesty, the King of Bhutan, the 4th Druk Gayalpo, and the Prime Minister of Bhutan. The Prime Minister will also address the joint session of the national assembly and the national council of Bhutan and meet the leader of the opposition. Discussions during the visit will include the whole gamut of bilateral relations.
Modi, who had invited South Asian leaders to his swearing in on May 26, has sought to convert his landslide election victory last month into a platform to pursue a more assertive foreign policy and promote trade and investment.
But, rather than Washington, Beijing or Tokyo, the 63-year-old leader will first visit Bhutan, a landlocked kingdom sandwiched between India and Chinese Tibet that has a population of less than one million.

Menthogen Stops Scalp Itch / Irritation From Helmets
Menthogen works very fast (read the science) and in three distinct ways. Menthogen:
i) Instantly stops scalp itch & irritation (regular use of Menthogen prevents scalp itch)
You do not need to suffer any longer - now EVERY RIDE can be itch-free and comfortable. Menthogen provides a cooling, soothing and revitalizing pre or post-ride scalp sensation.
The handy 30 ml pocket sized bottle also means you can travel light and take Menthogen on every journey.
Why helmets cause scalp itch
Your helmet is a bacterial breeding ground. Not news? But what might be news is that your helmet is the cause of your scalp itchiness - and needn't be.
With each wear of your skid lid, millions of bacteria - those feeding on the enzymes in the sweat absorbed lining - are repeatedly placed in direct contact with your scalp (and facial skin if you wear a full face helmet). Warmth and humidity are ideal conditions for bacteria which become more active, increasing the irritation to your skin.
Scratching with your fingernails (or other object) causes microscopic lesions in the surface of the scalps' sensitive skin. Bacteria move into the lesions and itchiness & irritation worsens.
Your headgear should be tight for maximum safety & protection. But tightly worn headgear may increase hair-fall rate due to frequent compression, rubbing & tugging of hair. This is called traction alopecia. Menthogen effectively treats this type of alopecia.
Menthogen is guaranteed to stop scalp itch
Menthogen comes with a no fuss moneyback guarantee. We are confident that you will love the benefits of Menthogen. If for any reason you do not, you are covered by our ironclad moneyback guarantee scheme.
How does Menthogen stop scalp itchiness?
Menthogen is a unique, clinically tested and proven formulation of effective moisturisers, anti-irritants and antibacterial agents which rapidly impart their soothing and regenerative properties to the scalp, clearing any trace of irritation. Regular use of Menthogen harmonises the scalp and optimises the conditions for complete scalp health and hygiene.
Menthogen contains key ingredients to combat traction alopecia; premature loss of hair exacerbated by tightly fitted headwear. Firstly a vaso-dilator increases capillary blood flow to the scalp and its hair bulbs, increasing nutritional take up. Secondly two ingredients act to prolong the growing stage of hair whilst counteracting the growth inhibitory effect of testosterone.
Menthogen's head healthy properties stimulates blood capillaries in the scalp helping to reduce hair loss and to actively encourage new hair growth.

Back in the good old days banks worked on relationships and trust. If you wanted a loan your local bank would often simply ask for someone who trusted you to guarantee it. Then things changed, computer credit scores took over and millions of people were left out in the cold because their score didn't fit. We knew what it was like to be rejected so we built the old fashioned guarantor loan company we wanted to borrow from.
We don't just let computers decide if you can borrow. The most important thing for us is that you have a friend or family member who trusts you enough to guarantee to make repayments if you don't, and that you can afford to repay the loan. Before we pay out any guarantor loans, we have a good old fashioned chat over the phone with both you and your guarantor. We base our decisions on simple common sense.
Our flexible guarantor loans are regularly featured by price comparison sites as the cheapest option for anyone borrowing £500-£5000 with a low credit score.
Everyone wants to be in control of their loan. We give you real-time statements and 24/7 access to your account online. Interest is calculated daily so you only pay for the time you have the loan. If you pay even £1 off early, you stop paying interest on that £1 immediately.
We've thought of as many ways as possible for you to make repayments. Regular payments are made by Direct Debit, but you can also pay by card, online, over the phone 24/7 or in cash at any one of 22,000 PayPoint locations.
When times get tough the last thing you need is someone making money from your problems. We NEVER charge for late payments, letters, early settlement or anything else.
We collect late payments in the same way as any high street lender would. If a loan falls into arrears we will let the borrower and guarantor know and if we're not able to collect a payment we will phone and email you to see what's gone wrong. Our priority is to stop a late payment snowballing into a bigger problem and to resolve it with the borrower in the first instance. Obviously, because our loans are supported by a guarantor, if we are unable to come to a suitable resolution with the borrower then the guarantor has to pay.
In a few very rare cases, where we can't come to an arrangement for repayment with either borrower or guarantor, as a last resort we will either pass a debt onto a professional debt collector or ask a court to decide the best way to deal with it. Whatever happens we will NEVER put your home or other property at risk. We've made 10 promises on how we'll deal with arrears.
We want to help make your financial future better; so we report back to all three credit reference agencies, each month, showing your repayments. As payments are made on time this will help to build or rebuild your credit profile. No information is reported back to credit reference agencies for guarantors, even if payments are missed, unless the account goes to court.

I wonder what the 2 countries are that you're talking about, UK and what other country? Did your partner ever have children of his own? Or was he perhaps VERY comfortable living alone and quiet (for how long?) until he got interested in you. Was he ever married before? How do you think he feels&thinks about about your exhusband?
Now I have to beg your pardon so I can go to sleep. I'm in Florida, and it's 4:30 am here. But please ask for me again tomorrow, because I'll have time online again, with afternoon my time being evening your time. I'm wondering how much of your issues are cross-cultural, how much financial. ;You should be in the same stage of life, but I wonder if he's more reclusive and perhaps older than his chronological age. If English isn't your native language, I'll keep my thoughts simple. I also speak and write a few other languages, but none but German could be as good as you are with English.
I cannot reply until tomorrow
Thanks very much for your response so far.
Again, thank you for responding. I come from Suriname in South America, which is a country most people over here haven't even heard of. I also lived in the Netherlands for a long time before I came to the U.K. to be with my partner. He has been to the Netherlands. My mother used to live there, but now that she is retired she is moving back to Suriname, where all my closest relatives live. My partner tells me he was not happy living on his own; he was quite lonely. He also works from home and sometimes saw no one for days on end. He did love the location of his house though; it was very rural and he could go out for walks in the countryside whenever he wanted to. He complains quite a lot that that is not the case where we now live. We live in a small semi-rural town and in my opinion there are plenty of opportunities to go for walks, some immediately near our home and others -including the ones where he lived before, only a short bus ride away. But he says the walks near here are not quiet enough since he can still hear cars in the distance if the wind is right, and he does go with the bus, but that is of course a little more effort. That basically sums it up; he is dissatisfied, I try to suggest possibilities but he seems determined to remain dissatisfied. I think he may be mildly depressed, and I fear that even if we were to move home it wouldn't make a difference for his mood. He also complains that there aren't any live concerts to go to here, not enough football matches, and not enough buddhist activities (He is a buddhist). No, he never had any children, nor did he ever want to. He was not married before, and didn't have a relationship as long as this one before, but the same goes for me. I was not married to my sons' father,. we had known each other for a few years already before we got into a relationship. The relationship itself was a failure - we were better off as friends -but at least we had our son. I don't think my current partner has any strong feelings towards my son's father. We don't see him that often, as he lives quite far away. Financially I am quite dependent on my partner, which I don't like so much. I have my own income, but it is very little, and the house we live in is his. My partner is extremely introverted, and it is hard to talk with him about things like this, or about anything but football really. I must admit that I dread the day when my son moves out and my partner and I will be together. I tend to have in-depth philosophical conversations with my son -who is very bright- and I'd be a bit lost for conversations without him! BTW English is not my first language, but there is no need to keep things simple.
HMM. You sound a little guilty for drawing him away from his ingrained lifestyle, but that assumes you don't have the right to be yourself and lead your life in ways that meet your needs rather than just his. You didn't say what your country and culture have been. I imagine he's English and you're Spanish. I suspected he might be a recluse who wants to have some human closeness, but not too often. And you didn't sign up for the thin diet of attention and intimacy that sends him back to his tower-room. You might both take the free Jungian Types test at www.humanmetrics.com, with a couple pages descriptive printout for each type. What sort of an Introvert is he? And you?There are characteristic strains and judgments of each type towards the others that might further objectify what's not fitting for you both. If you are much more extraverted than he and more feeling where he is thinking, your relationship may be in for increasing estrangement, unless both he and you can give you honest permission to go outside the home and develop a social life that is fulfilling for you. That might even risk you finding a man more suited to your energy and your relationship needs.
Further if your boy doesn't see that much of his biological father, then he might get pretty difficult from now on thru adolescence, when he would be better served by a more interesting & interested male mentorship, and by not getting all of his parental intimacy from you. Perhaps the UK has a mentorship program for boys his age like the American "Big Brothers" to fill that natural masculine development need. If not, your son could search for himself, or you could ask your partner to help find an interest group that matches a key interest of him, and then ask around if any young man in his 20s or 30s, or a father who never had a son interested in "following in his footsteps."
It was customary in the Middle Ages for boys who didn't inherit their father's lands or want to follow their father's trade or profession to bond with an uncle instead. Or the boy could be apprenticed to a reputable guildsman or professional who would teach, mentor and inspire him in ways his father could not. And equally important, during his adolescence & apprenticeship the boy would not be competing with this uncle or mentor for his mother's time and attention.
I'm sorry I didn't see much of your reply to my questions before I began to answer what I did see. That's all I have time for tonight. Ask for me again tomorrow if you want to discuss these issues further.
This chat format frustrates me, so I'll switch it for the next discussion. You and your man have the classic anglosaxon vs tropical-blood attraction & repulsion. The Jungian Types could help, and help me counsel you further if you can report both yours and your husband's results to me. Don't get your son tested. You need to keep your couple separate.
But his dissatisfaction with life could represent a fundamental loss of joi de vivre that reflects a failure to develop some aspects of himself that he now needs to continue with a meaningful and growing existence. He's introverted, so he might take to Jungian analysis, that focuses on finding meaningful life paths in midlife, on integrating inner symbolic forces to free up momentum for new growth, and uses dream work as a vehicle for discovering aspects of oneself that have gone unnoticed and undeveloped before. If he's that bothered by even a hint of car sound, he's highly sensitive, and thus potentially very interesting and reflective, perhaps artistic. We have some books about the glories of solitude written by deep introverts--and my therapist/jewelry-artist wife loves those books. I'm more balanced introvert--2 phd's means lots of alone time, but love of teaching and dream groujps is more social than my wife wants. But it's easier for a very introverted woman to be comfortable with her man going outside for people-contact than for a very introveted man to be comfortable with the roles reversed. One of the books, called A Party of One, advocates couple lives with occasional tete-a-tetes between stretches of separate room, dwelling. We have that now, because my wife's chronic pain leads her to stay up most nights, while I want to sleep and rise earlier--tho I'm not succeeding now, because the opportunities to be the first to find people like you are far greater at night (it's 2:11am now).
There is a generic drug I've researched because it's highly beneficial for autoimmune diseases, and a mild antidepressant, and also very successful for increasing the rewards of social interaction. I'll write about it next time, tho I'd like a bonus if you can afford it.
I love this answering, even tho the pay is very low, because I get to download a lifetime of people watching and psychology & european culture study as it applies to each unique person who writes to me. I lived 5 years in Europe during my college years, living in Germany, Greece, Spain, SW England (Devonshire), & French Switzerland, and repeated hitchhiking & walking tours of Italy, France, Netherlands, Yugoslavia and Scandanavia--in that descending order of amount of time spent, and all with great appreciation. I had a student from Suriname in a Freshman college folklore class in 2005, Morgan Hill, who was so handsome he made your eyes hurt. A demain
Thank you very much for your forthright and mellifluous depiction of yourself and your partner. I too am a writer, which is what I first thought about when I first went to Europe at 18. At that time I couldn't come up with any decent story plots, except thru minding my dreams. That was 50 years ago this summer, and 3 years before my first unconscious hint that psychotherapy was my calling. I too am a writer, as evidenced by that "mellifluous" on the first line above. I've made some small $ from the textbook Love & Intimate Relationships since 2000, about $.05 per hour for the time spent writing and editing it. But I don't mind, because, as you probably know, the writing has to be its own reward. So you are very fortunate that your partner supports your passion. Understandable then, that you would want to support him in every way you can.
Perhaps a root of your relationship issues is lack of passion, which you perceive as not coming from inside of him. That's actually part of what I would hope a Jungian analysis of some months and focusing on dreams could reignite in him.
I just googled Jung & Buddhism, where there is a lot online, and some books on Amazon. Then the air conditioning repair guy called and I have to go to our therapy office to assist. But there are at least 3 texts that look good for introducing the cross-fertilization that could occur between Jungian and Buddhist approaches to mind and development. Self & Liberation, a potpourri of essays by bridge makers, and The Essence of Jung's Psychology & Tibetan Buddhism . . Moacanin, who's one author in the S & L book.
Perhaps Passion is a central issue in the confrontation of E & W spirituality, Buddhism & Jung (where passion is Eros, and the inner feminine in men, that "leads us onward" (Goethe's Faust Pt II).
But I'll have to check back in later. A bien tot
You're both exactly the same types as my wife (INFP with I, N, & F very dominant just like yours). With very dominant inward Feeling, you live in your own inner feelings like a fish in a secret sacred pond. You make decisions out of what feels right to you, but you don't let others know what you're really feeling that often. I had the problem with Pamela, that my Outward feeling expression was not met by hers. She's had to learn to bare her heart to me so I'll know she Really Does Love me, even tho it looks to me often like she just needs me to tend to the walls to protect us from the world, while she can hole up in her cloistered sacred space and practice her art, her imagination, and her prayer. I'll try out some of the Inferior Function interpretations out on you, as I have on her. She has 2 Inferior Functions, and you probably do too. Inferior outward directed Thinking -- so thoughts about the outer world can be underdeveloped and embarrassing if uttered before she's had a chance to approach the matter thoroughly. But when she's worked on those thoughts enough, she's very good. Our former teacher, INFP Jungian analyst XXXXX XXXXX never wrote anything until he was 51, and then it was the Episcopalian priest who'd invited him to give a talk about Parsifal as the symbol of sacred masculinity, recorded it, and then helped him to turn it into his first widely acclaimed book He. Now, around 90, he's still turning them out (around 15), and probably still by improvising a talk (Intuition) full of Feeling colors and then editing it.
Also, because she's really good with intuition about other people, she has a secondary Inferior (underdeveloped) inward directed Sensation, meaning that she doesn't have good awareness of her body. In fact, not only does she stay up all night most nights, but she doesn't recognize when she's either tired or hungry until those needs are way past due. Perceptive types procrastinate a lot, while Judgment Types like me and your partner prefer to adhere to previously planned performance.
INFJ is the Author, Teacher, Big picture Idea man. His interior Intuition is perfect for meditation and production of forward-looking ideas and plans. It's what I'm good at, so your partner should be also. but I'm almost equal I & E, because I've spent so many years (over 30) teaching a wide variety of subjects. You've said your man doesn't show much feeling, so his Feeling stays perhaps in his Buddhist cloistered interior space. He's more of a puzzle to me.
But one other thought about our similarities as couples: When they're younger, people unconsciously choose partners who seem to manifest what they don't yet manifest. Introverts choose Extraverts, Feelers choose Thinkers, Judgments seek Perceptionists
But if they get together later in life, they're more comfortable with somebody more like them. My wife and I met when she was 33 and I was 41. You two met (guessing) at 36 & 42.
But I've got to go do a face-to-face therapy session with an Indian pilot student who used to be in my dream interpretation group when I was still teaching last year. We're going to interpret 2 recent "ego-bruising dreams" and work on him gaining greater awareness of his complex nascent feelings, because they torture him until he can put them into words that make sense to him--and I'm asking him to put them into metaphors instead, because we can think in feeling-colored pictures as well as words. Arjun is a Christian and also an INFJ. I would prefer if you stuck to this one question for now, but gave me a bonus when we've reached an appropriate stopping point, because I now get thirtyfivepercent of your deposit, but eventyfivepercent of any bonuses. When I've finally come of age as a top level expert, I'll get fiftypercent and seventyfivepercent. So I'll soon have my own website where both Pamela&I can answer questions about dreams,relationships,depth psychology,etcetc.
I look forward to more discussion, so I suppose a stopping point needs to be achieved soon, so the management doesn't think we're doing real therapy instead of just education. And we're not doing real therapy, certainly not yet, if ever. But Pamela does Skype therapy (no visuals) with another former student of mine who's back home in Australia. Perhaps it's time for you to focus on where you want our exploration to go. And worrying about his flagging passion and your sinking attraction seems to be getting close, but not all the way in the door to where you'll want to go. What are the interests and passions that once drew you together? for sex is only the ground floor, not the spiritual upper rooms or the basement with its earthen creatures.

LOWVILLE A Lewis County legislator ousted in Tuesdays election says his recent flip-flop on the countys $1 million purchase agreement for Lewis Lanes cost him his seat.
Republican Andrea J. Moroughan won more than double the ballots cast for Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, 424-208, but Mr. Stanford said he wouldnt do it differently.
I brought the truth. I wouldnt have kept my mouth shut to win, he said. If I cant tell the truth, I shouldnt be in that seat.
This was not the first time Mrs. Moroughan has defeated Mr. Stanford; a 1990 race for Watson town justice ended in Mrs. Moroughans favor by a similar ratio, 379-157.
Now, she said, shes preparing for her new term in office by doing research.
I have a lot to do, she said. Ill be the first to admit that.
One of the first items on her agenda is to assess the space needs of county agencies.
While a study already has been conducted, I want to see it with my own eyes, see the buildings, see the need, she said.
Her hands-on approach is part of doing her homework. I plan on asking questions, listening to people and taking my time, she said.
Another change on the Board of Legislators in January will be the first Democrat to serve Lowvilles District 5. Richard A. Chartrand said he does not think the 9:1 party ratio will make a difference.
I had more Republicans than Democrats that called me for signs, he said. I will represent, regardless of party, all of the residents in the village of Lowville.
It will not be the first time he has been in the minority or worked with a largely Republican board. He said he was appointed to the Lewis County General Hospital board of managers for two terms by a previous Board of Legislators with eight Republicans.
A bigger challenge, he said, will be the shortage of experience on the new board.
With just three people returning, they have to lead us, he said.
As for what he brings to the table, he said he hopes to be named to the Ways and Means Committee as he has a lot of budget experience.
Also, as the only engineer on the new board, he said, he expects an assignment on the Building and Grounds Committee would be a good fit.
In District 8, Lawrence L. Dolhof will return to the board. Mr. Dolhof, who defeated Duane C. DeLair, served as legislator from 2000-03.
I think my past experience will certainly be a big help to the board, he said.
The winner of the yet-to-be-determined District 7 race will be new to the board.
Gregory M. Kulzer, who placed six votes ahead of C. Lee Hinkleman, wouldnt take a guess at a winner.
Win, lose or draw, I did my best, he said, but he was already happy with voters.
Its nice to know the people listened to what I had to say, he said. Especially when they picked my name on the ballot way on the bottom. They took the time to go past the Republican, Democrat and Conservative lines, said Mr. Kulzer, who is a registered Republican but appeared only on an independent line.
Jeffrey F. Beyer placed third in the race for the open seat.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hinkleman said he will wait with nervous anticipation until the 23 absentee ballots are opened next week. I am confident I will prevail in the end, he said.

Cale Spangler threw a seven hitter, struck out 10, walked one and hit a batter and got a great catch by rightfielder Blake Nichols as the Sacred Heart Gremlins shocked second-ranked Concordia 8-4 in the semifinals of the Class 1Distrct 15 Tournament Monday night at Centennial Park.
Spangler was in complete control early, retiring the first six Oriole hitters in order before giving up a single to Austin Beydler to start the Concordia third.
Sacred Heart jumped on Concordia for three runs in the top of the second. Clint Spangler doubled and scored on a single by Mason Kelchner to give Sacred Heart a 1-0 lead. Nichols singled to drive in a run and Rock Curry singled, one of his three hits in the game, to give the Gremlins a 3-0 lead.
As the KMMO radio play-by-play man said, "the Orioles find themselves in unfamiliar territory," as they trailed 3-0 after two innings.
The second-ranked Orioles came into the game 14-4 and saw their season end with the shocking loss to the Gremlins.
Sacred Heart added more shock to Concordia. Sacred Heart plated five runs on four hits, three Concordia errors and a walk to open up an 8-0 lead after 2 ½ innings. Curry, Caleb Tanguay and Garrett Strange had RBI singles and Clint Spangler smacked a run-scoring double to left center Only two of the five Gremlin runs were earned in the inning as the rattled Orioles' defense misplayed two ground balls and added a throwing error in a wild inning.
Concordia had an answer. In the third inning, Beydler and Dan Miler singled offs Spangler with one out. One out later, senior Collin Werths hi a screaming liner over the wall n left-center for a three-run home run and the Orioles were within 8-3.
Concordia's Austin Hon came in to pitch in relief to start the Gremlin fourth. The junior right-hander tossed four innings of scoreless relief to keep his team in the game.
The Orioles threatened in the fourth with two-out, back-to-back singles to put the southpaw Spangler finished the inning with a strikeout as fanned the side.
Concordia designated hitter Cory Meineken, singled in a run in the bottom of the fifth but again Spangler shut the door with a fly out to shallow left and a strikeout, leaving twole runners stranded at second and third.
Concordia had two runners in scoring position in the sixth, but Nichols made a great catch running toward right-center to save two runs.
"Blake hasn't gotten to play much," said Sacred Heart coach Steve Goodwin."Our starting rightfielder. Ben Smeltzer injured an ankle and is out. Blake has stepped in and taken advantage of the opportunity."
Spangler gaveup a hit in the sixth but stranded the runner with two whiffs and a grondout. Concordia out runners on first and second with hits to start the seventh and moved up a base on a wild pitch. Spangler once again shut down Concordia with two strikeouts and a popup to strand two more Oriole runners and advanced the Gremlins to Wednesday night's championship game against Santa Fe.
Sacred Heart improved to 13-4 on the season.
Santa Fe, 18-1 and ranked first in Class 1, beat Lone Jack 5-1in the other seminal Monday night.

Security Messages for U.S. Citizens
Update Regarding Police Strike in Salvador, Bahia
U.S. Consulate General, Rio de Janeiro – February 6, 2012
This message is to update U.S. citizens about security concerns in Salvador, Bahia and surrounding areas stemming from a state-wide work stoppage by the Military Police in the State of Bahia.
Brazilian national security forces were deployed into Salvador on the morning of Friday, February 3. Nevertheless, the homicide rate in Salvador reportedly has risen significantly during the past week. In addition, there have been reports of significant increases in the rates of property crimes, including lootings and car thefts. All private schools in Salvador were closed on Monday, February 6. Public schools remained open, but report very low attendance.
As of Monday morning, February 6, Brazilian national security forces had surrounded the state legislative building in Salvador with orders to arrest leaders of the striking Military Police. The siege of the legislative building creates a risk of violence. U.S. citizens are strongly advised to avoid the area around the legislative assembly building, which is located in the "Paralela" area between the airport and downtown Salvador.
U.S. citizens should continue to monitor media reports about security conditions in Salvador and the State of Bahia and should consider delaying any non-essential travel to those areas until security conditions have stabilized.
U.S. citizens who travel to or reside in Brazil are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) in order to receive the most up-to-date security information. By enrolling, U.S. citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency. U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General. The U.S. Consulate General in Rio is located at Avenida Presidente Wilson, 147 and can be reached at phone number 21-3823-2000, emergency after-hours phone number 21-3823-2029, American Citizen Services fax number 21-3823-2093, and e-mail email@example.com. Travelers may also consult the website of the U.S. Consulate in Rio de Janeiro for more information.
U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's Country Specific Information for Brazil which is located on the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs website. Travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, or on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444 from other countries. Stay up to date by bookmarking our Bureau of Consular Affairs website which contains current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts.

Phenomena is often regarded as a turning point in the career of Italian thriller director Dario Argento. Unfortunately for him, the direction it is most often cited as turning is down. After Phenomena, the influential director had one more good film in him – the mean-spirited and sadistic Opera — and then it was all downhill from there. In many ways, Argento's career seemed to reflect that of another highly creative, important director: Tsui Hark. Both men revolutionized film making in their respective countries and inspired (and continue to inspire) countless other writers and directors. Both men brought a highly stylized vision to the screen. And both men have spent the better portion of the last decade trying to live up to their own reputations.

Sinbad of the Seven Seas
I can anticipate a lot of things that would potentially show up as the first shot in a Sinbad the Sailor movie (as opposed to Sinbad the Comedian movie, though I can also imagine the first shot in that movie as well, and it's Sinbad making an exaggerated screaming face and running away in fast motion from a poopy baby diaper), but one thing I never expected was a still shot of Edgar Allen Poe. It's that same one everyone uses when they need a photo of Edgar Allen Poe. Maybe that's the only one. I don't know. I also didn't know why Poe would be associated with the opening of a Sinbad the Sailor movie, though I could understand it in a Sinbad the Comedian movie, what with the macabre and all.

The gifts that keep you from having to go out (too much)
Each year at the holidays, we find ourselves fighting crowds, screaming at people on the roads and generally making ourselves miserable all in an effort to get out and buy gifts for family and friends.
If you haven't seen it firsthand this year, it seems almost worse than last year with hundreds and thousands of people descending on department stores, malls and big box establishments trying to get the best and brightest presents they can.
But what if you could avoid all that confusion and congestion and could just get what you needed with a few clicks or a visit to a small store right around the corner? What if you didn't have to fight the crowds and could get what you needed during a trip to the doctor's office or while enjoying a favorite program on television? Well, it's not hard to do, and it could save you a small bit of sanity that you would rather reserve for when the family shows up on your doorstep. It's called online and local shopping, and you can do it all now and quit worrying.
The Gift Basket
Over the years, the gift basket has gotten a bad rap. Heck, it's almost like the gift basket is akin to the ubiquitous fruitcake in terms of people's disdain for it. But gift baskets can be both thoughtful and enjoyable as long as you know where to look.
The biggest purveyor of gift baskets out there online has to be the folks at Harry and David. This company known for its diverse gift baskets and fresh pears in every box has been fighting the good fight for gift baskets for years. Not only are they unique, they come in just about every variety you could think of.
Classic with Wine ($69.95): For the person who has everything and loves entertaining, the Classic with Wine gift basket includes the company's famous pears along with an assortment of nuts, snack meat, crackers and, of course, a bottle of wine. For the price, this basket is ideal for that person you never been to be able to get anything because he buys it for himself already. Not only does it show caring, but it can be sent right to the recipient's door already wrapped for the holidays.
Fruit Basket ($69.95): Instead of sending a fruitcake to anyone this year, consider having Harry and David put together a fruit basket for you. Filled with pineapple, kiwi, avocado, apples and mango, as well as pears, this basket has a little of everything to make the holidays healthy and fun.
Of course, you don't have to stick to the classics when choosing. Harry and David also has an array of gift packages that include chocolates, nuts, gourmet foods, flowers and even ones with meat such as steak and prime rib. Sounds a little crazy, but Harry and David has put together just about everything you would want to gift in the food world and set it out there for between $30 and $200 each.
Local alternative: Of course, getting a gift basket in the mail is great, but if you have a family member or friend who loves the local scene, consider putting your own gift bag or basket together. Use a recyclable grocery bag and fill it up with tickets to a community theater play, apples from the local orchard, gadgets from the local kitchen shop and goodies from local farms. You can even throw in a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant or some local beers to round out the theme.
Here are a few favorite local spots to get a smattering of just about everything:
Kitchen Emporium
The Growler Haus
Gallery 313
Molly and Me
Blake and Brady
Lilia Day Spa
Oasis Day Spa
Figs Beanery and Creamery
The Village Store
Rainbow Records
Learning and Living
It's easy to get caught up in getting the easy gifts. Buying diamonds for your wife or tools for the hubby is really nothing more than a cop out for those who don't want to put a lot of thought into their gifts.
Instead of throwing money at some random store at the last minute, put some thought into the gift you are about to give. And thinking can go a long way to providing that special someone the kind of gift that will make her want to think as well.
Giving someone the gift of a new language is a great way to show you care, and Rosetta Stone software is the premier service for learning a language from home — and it offers its product in more than 30 languages from across the globe. Basic kits start at $179, and the more advanced programs are $299. Rosetta Stone offers intensive services that immerse the gift-getter in a whole different language and culture.
My wife and I have tried the Italian version for the last couple of weeks, and though we're not ready to head to Italy just yet, it feels like only a matter of time before it happens.
Local alternative: You might be able to find a language course at the local adult education center or even at Tri-County Tech, but you could also provide that special someone the gift of a trip to a new destination. Head over to Ionosphere Travel on North Main Street in Anderson to see what packages are available and what countries are the best to visit at what time of year.
One-of-a-Kind Gifts
It's easy to get gifts from the expected spots in town, but it's another thing to find gifts you can only get around your community. Art shows are great spots to find them, but these events are few and far between and might not be available to you when you need them. So, get yourself onto a site called Etsy and see what you can find.
Etsy is a web-based community of artists and crafters who make a variety of products ready for sale online. Shoppers can get everything from jewelry and pottery to textile goods, artwork, sculpture and even dog toys all made just for them.
Etsy is easily navigable and provides first-time shoppers the chance to look around the front page at the featured items or to search for favorite local artists to see if they are online.
Another way to find great artists is by getting some advice from friends. Look at your Facebook page and see what pages your besties happen to like. Chances are you will find the fan page of a local artist or two who might sell handmade books, jewelry, clothing, glasswork and more. Visit Upstate Be's Facebook page and like us to see a small list of some of our favorites, and feel free to add your own favorites for the rest of the Upstate to see as well.
Local alternative: There are only a few more Saturdays left to enjoy the Holiday Market at the Anderson Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Holiday Bazaar on the Pendleton Village Square. These markets have local artists selling their crafts just in time for the Christmas season. Visit them each Saturday until just before Christmas, and share what you got with Upstate Be.

Resume Advice & Samples
In most cases, your resume is your first contact with a potential employer. It shows not only your experience thus far but also your accomplishments. Resumes should be concise, accurate, error-free, well-organized, clear, easy to read, and visually pleasing. Keep in mind that the reader of your resume will probably spend no more than 30 seconds reviewing it. To be effective, it must be brief while still offering enough information to interest the employer. Most law student resumes should be one page in length.
The first step in the resume drafting process is to attend CDO's resume advice program and to reflect on your target audience. Are you writing to a law firm, small nonprofit organization, large government agency, or judge? Find out as much as you can about the types of projects in which you would be involved if hired. Based on that information, determine which skills you should highlight. For example, are your writing and research skills most important, or your communication and negotiation skills? You may choose to have a few resumes geared toward different types of employers.
Legal resumes are structured with 3-4 sections, each of which is briefly discussed below. Students are encouraged to refer to Chapter 4 of the Introduction to Career Development Guide for a more detailed discussion on each of these sections, and review the sample legal resumes. After drafting your legal resume, please schedule an appointment with a CDO counselor to discuss your draft and any questions you may have.
- Heading: The heading should include your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address at the top of your resume.
- Education: List your degrees in reverse chronological order. Include in the education section honors and activities under the appropriate school entry. Keep in mind that the honors category is reserved for the activities that you were chosen to participate in through some type of selection process.
- Experience: The experience section should list in reverse chronological order, all relevant employment. The name of the employer should be listed first, followed by the location, and dates of employment. Volunteer or unpaid employment may be included in this section along with paid employment. Feel free to include work performed as part of your scholastic experiences in your experience section, including legal clinic experience, research for a professor, a pro bono project, and extensive work for a student organization. Use action verbs in your job descriptions. For example, state "researched and wrote memoranda on issues of jurisdiction and venue," not "involved in assisting attorneys in the researching and writing of…" Provide enough description so the potential employer learns something about the projects you worked on and the skills you developed.
- Additional Sections: Following the experience section, many students include an "interests" section listing a few special interests that may matter to an employer. It is not mandatory; however, if you have interests that are not already reflected in your application, then you may wish to include it. If you have a particular language ability that may be relevant to an employer, you can include a "skills" or "languages" section with that information.

Sociology is in fact a social science so would that be lying? Do you think it'll make a difference whether it says sociology or social science? Does social science sound better than sociology?
Question :
Can I list my sociology degree on my resume as a bachelors in Social Science instead to make it sound better?
Best Solver (Answer):
Answer by Clueless but looking!
Bachelors degrees come in various content areas, for example: a B.A. is a Bachelor of Arts. For example, you can obtain a B.A. in Architecture, or B.A. in Education, or a B.A. in Sociology.
B.S. stands for a Bachelor in Science. A B.F.A is a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
Each degree is issued with a standard notation. This is how you can honestly represent it on a resume.
If you earned a Bachelor of Arts IN Sociology, you can note it:
B.A. in Sociology
Bachelor of Arts: Sociology
But each title is designated and picked for a reason at your school. I would stay consistent with your school's usage of the terms, since they have to meet certain requirements by state law in order to name it specific things. It's possible that a Social Science degree might vary from a Sociology degree per state law.

Whether you want to make a one-time offering or set up recurring tithe contributions, chances are your place of worship takes plastic.
Not wanting to miss out on generous benefactors who never seem to have cash in their pockets, some churches and synagogues have turned to companies like Holy Processing, which sets up places of worship with credit card processing capability, in order to accept donations on plastic.
"I'm glad my church offers this because I can make a contribution and accumulate reward points at the same time," says Charles Sweeney of Los Angeles. "I pay my bill off every month so the reward points are a real bonus."

Latest Trailer For DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Teases An Impending War
In the world of reboots and remakes, there are very few that are actually worth your time watching. Most go so far away from the original, it may as well be called an original film. But there is one film that took many people by surprise, both critics and average movie-goers alike. In 2011, Rupert Wyatt brought us a unique and stunning prequel to the Planet of the Apes franchise. The film expolored the origins of the famed sci-fi film and took a really cool approach to the whole virus that brought the beginning of the fall of humans and the rise of the apes. For this year's sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Matt Reeves, best known for his vampire film Let Me In, took the reigns on the project and it looks to be quite the film.
In this follow-up, Caesar, played by mo-cap master Andy Serkis, has taken his group to the forests surrounding San Francisco. Meanwhile, human kind is brought to its knees by the simian virus. The two factions soon become intertwined in a pending battle that will culminate in a war. The latest trailer offers up a ton of new footage, including Caesar showing off his vocal skills.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes stars Gary Oldman, Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Toby Kebbell and Kodi Smit-McPhee. The film will hit theaters July 11. Check out the newest trailer below and let us know what you think!

Technical Abstract: Microbial populations in soil form communities that could vary in composition and structure depending on the abiotic (temperature and water regimes) and biotic (plant-microbe associations) factors present. Experiment 1: Matric potential was adjusted to -0.03 and -0.3 Mpa. Experiment 2: Soil was incubated at 22 and 34 C. Bulk and rhizosphere soil from soybean plants were sampled at 5 and 15 days after planting. Experiment 3: Soil under tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) plants either infected or not by the fungus Neotyphodium coenophialum was collected at different soil depths. In all experiments, soil microbial populations were studied by whole soil fatty acid methyl ester technique (whole soil FAMEs). Temperature had no apparent effect on the whole soil profiles in either bulk or rhizosphere soil. Matric potential had no effect on FAME profiles from bulk soil, but did affect FAME profiles from rhizosphere soil. Endophyte infection caused small differences in FAME profiles mainly at th soil surface. Detection of microbial biodiversity remains a challenge because of the presence in soil of microhabitats and the lack of identification of 100% of the microbes present. Fatty-acid methyl esters offer a promising approximation of microbial diversity.

We love pets. We also love people who love pets! AND, we really love people who love pets AND love SitStay. We love chocolate too, but that is a topic all on its own.
We are blessed everyday to talk to customers via online chat, phone, email and when we are lucky – face to face. Many of the conversations are memorable and will bring a smile to anyone's face. Especially someone like you who is also a pet-lover on constant lookout for good products and good people to expose to your good dog.
"My Great Big Ol' Chocolate Lab just loves you guys! Thanks SitStay!"
Right back at ya! We also know your great big chocolate lab will love the new Brown Beggers™ Chew Sampler for LARGE dogs and large oven-baked, all-natural biscuits. We are always on the hunt for "big dog" treats - share if any come to mind.
"We love your Good Dog Tuesday special – it reminds us to stock up on our weekly rewards and gives us all something to look forward to each week! Thanks SitStay."
We love Good Dog Tuesday's, too! The original owners of SitStay started the tradition and it was too good to change. We have other specials everyday (for those signed up for our newsletter) but nothing tops GDT – not even Taco Tuesday at the local cantina! If you don't get the discounts - sign up today!
"I just called and talked to your customer service team. What a pleasure. It is not only nice to know there are real people at your company but it is even better to know you love your dogs as much as I love mine. We'll be customers for life."
Yes, we are real. Our warehouse is nestled in Lincoln, Nebraska and our awesome selection of products are right here with us. Sure, we looked at using 3rd party fulfillment but that would make us just like the other guys. Our dogs are real and our love for them is as real as real can be. We couldn't imagine feeding them product from "who knows where"!
"We love your treat selection! How on earth do you keep finding new treats?"
SitStay is best known for our treat selection and that is because we are a bunch of softies who are continuously manuipulated by tail-wags, slobber kisses, cannon-ball jumps and endless love. We also know that high quality treats have become the best delivery method for wholesome vitamins and nutritients that we want our dogs to have. Our industry has come along way since the Milkbone! Our product development team spends countless hours reaching out to manufacturers, searching for the next best thing. We also have great customers who reach out when they find something new. Pet-lovers stick together, and together – we can spoil the WORLD! (ok, we got a little crazy there).
"My two terriers were so excited when we opened our SitStay box today – we were chosen as the winners of the surprise giveaway and received a Brown Beggers™ Chew Sampler for them to share. The wrapping was so unique and the handwritten note from the SitStay team just reiterated why we do business with you. We wish you were just down the street but being a click away will have to do."
Aw! That is nice. We kind of feel like we are in every neighborhood – well, those with internet connection! We are sure glad Diane and her "paw-peeps" loved the giveaway. Each week one lucky winner gets a surprise … just because!
We'd love to hear from you to! Drop us a note anytime!

After them struggling like never before when applying the drops, they immediately starting meowing in pain, scratching like crazy and licking the solution. After that they starting jumping around the room and convulsing. i knew this was not normal, but decided to wait unitl the solution dried and watched them closely. This morning, they were still itching, the solution never dried and their skin was starting to bleed. After searching what to do, i luckily found this site. I washed them with Dawn dish soap and it seems that the solution has come off and they returned to normal. Im taking them to the vet first thing tomorrow. Never ever use Hartz. It's way too scary

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will test the investigational antibody, MEDI6469 (anti-OX40), in combination with stereotactic body radiation in breast cancer patients that have liver or lung metastases and have received systemic therapy and have progressive disease. The investigators hypothesize that SBRT directed at metastatic breast cancer lesions will result in a systemic anti-tumor immune system response. This amplified and directed immune response could result in anti-tumor responses.

|Official Title:
|Phase I/II Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy to Metastatic Lesions in the Liver or Lung in Combination With Monoclonal Antibody to OX40 (MEDI6469) in Patients With Progressive Metastatic Breast Cancer After Systemic Therapy.
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety profile of radiation administered in combination with anti-OX40 in patients with metastatic breast cancer. [ Time Frame: From Day 1 to Day 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]A dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any greater than or equal to grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (except hypothyroidism or vitiligo) that in the opinion of the investigator is considered at least possibly related to treatment. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities that take longer than 10 days to resolve will be considered DLTs. Patients will have 8 clinic visits over 36 days to identify toxicities.
- Estimate the response rate of combined modality treatment in both irradiated and non-irradiated tumors. [ Time Frame: Day 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patients will have CT scans for tumor measurements at Day 36. Patients achieving a radiographic response, or are stable, will be followed monthly with physical exam and laboratory studies with CT (or other imaging as deemed appropriate) scans obtained every 3 months (± 2 weeks) for up to 24 months and then ever 6 months (± 2 weeks) for up to 4 years.
- Determine the influence of anti-OX40 and radiation on circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. [ Time Frame: Screening to Day 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patients will provide 9 blood samples over 36 days to measure the number of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells.
