Very cool!
Ive been working on the Rite Publishing project Coliseum Morpheuon and its finally seen the light of day! The high level Pathfinder adventure features a series of fiendish challenges and I drew the maps. Of course this means a whole selection of new fantasy map packs hitting the shelves. First out of the bag is the Clockwork Maze:
The map pack is now on sale at RPGNow and shortly at Paizo. It features a very steampunk map a deadly clockwork maze inside an old clocktower. Heres a small preview of the full size map in the pack:
The pack include:
* High resolution jpgs of the map for use in virtual tabletops (100px per grid resolution).
* greyscale and colour pdf packs that allow you to print off the map for use at the gametable with 1 inch squares in both A4 and US letter sizes
* A collection of all the cogs as separate png files for you to use in creating your own steampunk creations. Sized for 100px grids so they are compatible with all my previous tilepacks.
* Maptool files with vision blocking geometry for both 4e and Pathfinder (using maptool 1.3.b63).
You can find the pack on RPGNow here.
Very cool!

Thanks Steampunk seems to be very in these days - and there are all sorts of fun adventures to be had caught up in the gears inside a magical clocktower
It certainly has, but I'm seeing more and more influences in rpgs these days. A lot of third party game settings are adding in clockwork horrors, gears and cogs. Zobeck has a strong steampunk element, the New Epoch is actually built on a cog, and Rhune is described as viking steampunk (or stormpunk!). So I guess I've just had a glut of maps with cogs in them recently, and it's nice to be able to release a map for them.
Thought I'd best add this on to the end of the previous map pack post so that I don't clutter up the news page. Here's the third map pack in the set:
This one has glass ships separated by ice floes over a frigid sea. It was created for Coliseum Morpheuon, and acts as the arena for a capture the flag scenario. It can be used for a sea crossing in cold climes, or an entry into a frozen underwater adventure.
The pack can be found here and includes:
High res jpg with and without grid for use in virtual tabletop programs
multipage pdf in greyscale and colour, in letter and A4 formats for printing out at the table
maptool files for OGL and 4E

Quality of life with a chronic illness or disease. It seems a daunting domain in one of SAMC's new quality initiatives, but team leader Melissa Lewis, RN, MSN, said it's all about improving the care we provide, even at the end of life.
Lewis said this QUEST domain deals with patients suffering serious illnesses like cancer and heart failure.
"The question is what is preventable and if we can't prevent death, how can we give quality of life in the time left?" she said.
Lewis said the mortality initiative has
three components, two of which are ongoing at SAMC and a third is in the start-up phase.
SAMC has found success with its early sepsis awareness and identification program to address one of the fastest-growing causes of death in the hospital setting. Also, our Certified Chest Pain Center established cardiac protocols and allows anyone to call the Rapid Response Team to the bedside.
"We are focusing primarily on establishing a palliative care program. Palliative care is not hospice. Palliative care establishes goals with the seriously ill patient and their families," she said. "We talk about where they want to be."
There is a core palliative care team which includes a board-certified physician, an RN, social worker and chaplain. Additional interdisciplinary team members such as a psychiatrist, can be called in.
The team's focus is to provide the patient with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of their illness. Palliative care helps patients better understand their conditions and their medical care choices.
In the photo above, members of the palliative care team are from left, Marian Harrison, RN, Case Management, Teresa Kohnhorst, director Quality Resource Management, Melissa Lewis, RN, director Oncology unit, Scott Griffin, director Southeast Cancer Care Network, Tracy Glass, RN, director CCU and Kristy Johnson, DO, hospitalist. Other team members are Charles Harkness, DO, VP Medical Affairs, Chief Medical Officer; Diane Buntyn, RN, VP, Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer; Kathy Hill, division director, Finance; Tena Knight, RN, clinical nurse specialist, CCU; Lara McCall, RN, director Case Management; Addie McKinzie, director Operations Auditing, Revenue Assurance; Ann Spradley, RN, clinical nurse specialist, Orthopedics; and Donna Yost, RN, clinical educator, Oncology.

Narrated by actor Liev Schrieber, RESCUE IN THE PHILIPPINES: REFUGE FROM THE HOLOCAUST, airing Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 7 p.m. on WXXI, chronicles a real-life Casablanca, in which a high-profile group of poker buddies — including Colonel Dwight Eisenhower — hatched an intricate international plan of rescue and re-settlement, saving 1,300 Jews from certain death in Nazi concentration camps. RESCUE IN THE PHILIPPINES tells this gripping story through interviews with historians, friends and relatives of the key participants, and first-person accounts from refugees who detail their harrowing escape from Europe and immigration to the Philippines.

Barry Gessele, known to most as "Bear," passed away on Nov. 16 after suffering an aneurysm. He lived his life by his own terms, with a quick comeback always ready and quite possibly the lyrics to every single hit song from the '60s and '70s on the tip of his tongue.
Bear made his living working alongside his brother Kelly, nephew Riley and niece Greta and his friends at Independence Environmental Services; he made his life fulfilling as an expert golfer and helping others with his skills in tile and flooring. He recently donated his work to the floors and tile work at the Pregnancy Resource Center.
Barry went on ahead of his mom Bev Gessele; brothers Tracy and Kelly; sisters Penny and Jody and their families, including his newest grandnephew Blair bear. An open house for a celebration of Barry's life will be at the Gessele home at 17607 Hwy 82, Carbondale on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 4-6 p.m.

WADSWORTH, Ohio (AP) — A northeastern Ohio city that has been without its iconic Civil War statue for more than seven decades is getting a duplicate in time for the community's bicentennial celebration this year.
The new statue for Wadsworth in Medina County depicts a boy with a leaking boot taking water to Civil War soldiers. The Akron Beacon Journal reports that Wadsworth's original statue was installed in the late 1800s, but taken down at the beginning of World War II for scrap metal for the war effort.
The Medina Gazette reports that the city of Sandusky loaned one its two statues of a boy with a boot to be used as a model for Wadsworth's new one.
Similar sculptures can be found in other locations around the world. The origins of the design aren't clear.

Internet censorship: the slippery slope starts here
Do you remember good old AOL? The once near ubiquitous, "family-friendly" ISP that only let certain "safe" websites into its walled garden, and practically forbade users to venture any further. Think Steve Jobs crossed with the Archbishop of Canterbury. Well we're all AOL customers now: or at least, that's what the Government would like us to be.
A few weeks after Conservative MP Claire Perry tested the waters by suggesting ISPs should apply cinema-style age ratings to pornographic sites, Communications Minister Ed Vaizey has all but made it Government policy (i.e. he told The Sunday Times).
"This is a very serious matter," he told the newspaper. "I think it's very important that it's the ISPs that come up with solutions to protect children," threatening to do so by law if the ISPs don't get it together, much like the previous Labour Government did over music piracy and the ensuing Digital Economy Act – and look how swimmingly that worked out!
Aside from the enormous technical challenges of applying age ratings to every site on the internet, does the Government have any right to foist censorship on the British public? As a father of young children, I'm no keener on kids getting unbridled access to pornography than Mr Vaizey, but if he thinks slapping onerous filters on every web connection is going to hold back the tide, he's wrong.
If Mum and Dad are worried about their teens running off to their bedrooms and downloading porn when they're not looking, they could try something radical – discipline
The internet was as futuristic as Red Dwarf when I was at school, but I had no problem laying my hands on the copies of Playboy or Razzle being passed round the playground (sorry Mum). And if teenagers can't get access to cyber smut, they can always flick to the nether regions of the Sky EPG late at night and catch more than an eyeful on the adult channels (funny how Perry and Vaizey aren't so het-up about Murdoch's money-spinning channels, eh?).
Vaizey's using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, imposing blanket censorship when two simple measures will prevent children accessing adult content: filtering software and good parenting.
Everyday software such as Norton Internet Security includes parental controls that are almost certainly as effective as anything the ISPs can impose. If Mum and Dad are worried about their teens running off to their bedrooms and downloading porn when they're not looking, they could try something radical – discipline. Insist the kids only use computers in communal rooms or set up Windows parental controls to prevent children using the PC late at night, for example. It's really not hard.
My biggest worry about Vaizey's iron curtain is: where will it end? Pornography's an easy target: the argument that "no right-minded parent would want to subject their children to pornographic content" is morally difficult to oppose and will play well in the tabloids. But then what right-minded parent wants their child looking at snuff movies, or a Frankie Boyle sketch, or the BNP website?
Where does it end, Mr Vaizey? Where does it end?

Unfortunately, he maintains that not all the land allocated in the re-mapping was actually his, while some bits that did belong were somehow excluded from this new official definition of his fields.
All over the property, fields had been subdivided in an apparent effort to further isolate already well-recorded ineligible areas, while elsewhere, somewhat comically, a temporary electric grazing fence in place on the day of inspection has been promoted to a permanent field boundary.
But Mr McDiarmid isn't laughing, as this error-strewn map, received from the department on January 16, is now being held to be binding for his next IACS submission and, despite it being no fault of his own, he is being offered no way out of the situation that will not, inevitably, cost him both time and money.

News Release: Associated Press
July 7, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida judge who gained an international audience while presiding over Casey Anthony's murder trial three years ago is retiring after nearly 25 years on the bench.
Chief Judge Belvin Perry on Monday turned in a letter stating he intended to resign at the end of August.
The 64-year-old Perry presided over Anthony's 2011 murder trial.
Anthony was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, following a trial that attracted worldwide attention. She was convicted of making false statements to police and got credit for time served.
In an interview last year on NBC's "Today" show, Perry said he thought there was sufficient evidence for a conviction on a first-degree murder charge, even though much of the evidence was circumstantial.
Perry was criticized by Anthony's attorneys for his statements.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- Sailors aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) whipped out their wallets and pocketbooks Oct. 23 to kick off this year's Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), slated to run until Dec. 1.
Patrons attached to "America's Favorite Aircraft Carrier" contributed up to $74,000 in past CFC drives.
This year's campaign theme is "Every One of Us Can Be the Miracle."
Command and departmental CFC representatives will hit the passageways to touch base with each and every member of the "Gold Eagle" family. Shooting for a goal of 100 percent crew contact, rather than simply trying to acquire large donations, was one of the key reasons that past CFC programs set record numbers and why this year should be no different.
"We hope to eclipse last year's numbers by at least 5 percent," said CFC Command Coordinator Chief Mass Communication Specialist (SW/AW) David Sidney. "To achieve this, we are coming up with new and innovative ways to help raise money for the community."
Although thousands of people across the globe benefit from the CFC's fundraising, some of the rewards hit closer to home than many may have thought.
"I think donating is a great idea," said Air Traffic Controller 3rd Class Darren Johnson, a Vinson Sailor who contributes to two national charities. "My grandpa has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, so it's my way of helping him, and those like him. It kind of gives me more hope that one day diseases like his won't force people to suffer forever."
Federal workers in the 1960s developed this unique charitable campaign to allow members of the uniformed services and federal workers the opportunity to donate to any of more than 1,800 international, national, and local charities. Donations can be collected through either a monthly allotment lasting one or two years, taken directly from a participant's wages, or a lump sum payable by cash or check.
Carl Vinson is currently undergoing its scheduled refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) at Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard. The RCOH is an extensive yard period that all Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go through near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle.
During RCOH Carl Vinson's nuclear fuel will be replenished and the ship's services and infrastructure will be upgraded to make her the most state-of-the-art aircraft carrier in the fleet and prepare for another 25 years or more of service.

TUSCALOOSA – Akini Adkins, a 6-foot-8, 210 pound redshirt freshman forward on the University of Alabama basketball team, has decided to withdraw from school at Alabama, citing a desire to transfer to another school in order to get more playing time.
"Obviously, we will help Akini as he has chosen to transfer because of playing time," said Alabama head coach Mark Gottfried. "We will give him a release. He's indicated that he has a couple of teams he's looked into transferring to, and we'll help make some calls or do what we can to help him."
Adkins was a medical redshirt as a true freshman last season, playing in one game against Austin Peay. It was in that game Adkins injured his left thigh, causing a lengthy recovery time and resulting in the medical redshirt. This season he has played in four games, averaging 2.3 points and 2.8 rebounds. Originally from Cameroon, Adkins prepped at Tallahassee's Leon High School where he averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds his senior season in 2003.

Question: What European countries is the U.S. working with on their continued sale of oil and gas to Syria?
Answer: We're not going to get into details of specific engagements with our partners, but we are in close consultation with many European allies and the EU on diplomatic and financial measures that will increase the pressure on the Asad regime to cease its brutal aggression against the Syrian people.

Nermin Yıldırım's Barcelona
How did Barcelona transform your dreams? In my novels, dreams serve as a road map for reality and nights as a road map for the day. It is in that sense that Barcelona has influenced my dreams. It is a tolerant and laid-back city. It drew me in a little and softened my edges. Naturally it also had an effect on my realities and on my dreams. You say that Catalan culture has miraculous beauty. What is it like? We Turks have a lot in common with Catalans. Catalans are extremely cheerful, open-hearted, voluble people who are full of life. They place value on their history, their culture and human relations. What makes a place beautiful above all else is the people who live there. And the Catalans have made aesthetics and enjoyment of life almost into a cultural legacy. The master-architect Gaudi turned Barcelona into a fairy tale city, but it didn't stop there. What festivals are there in Barcelona this summer? In August each one of Barcelona's neighborhoods is transformed into a big fairground. Every quarter holds its own festival for a week. The streets are decorated and there are concerts, contests and parties. The most spectacular one of all is at Gracia, August 15 to 21.

I'm not sure if these two are besties yet, but I think they could have a beautiful friendship. They are both strong women, working and succeeding in traditionally male occupations. They've both been called monsters, though one might be more fond of the title than the other. They've both shared their life's stories with the world, in hopes that they might be better understood.

Nineteen days ago, the Wall Street Journal ran Amy Chua's Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior. As of today, there are 7,590 comments. A few days ago, at 5,700 comments, the WSJ remarked that the piece had already generated more comments than any other in the history of the Wall Street Journal, which is quite astounding when you think about how much the cool kids these days enjoy typing "ha ha u suck" beneath articles about hedge fund derivatives.

Rated 5 out of 5�by T4two Very Good Replacement spikes Had to replace the spikes on my Foot Joy golf shoes. These were a perfect replacement. April 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1FloridaSnowbird Does what you expect Bought some 'new' golf shoes for my wife at a 2cnd hand store. The shoes looked brand new, but had steel spikes that I needed to replace with 'soft spikes' since most golf courses prefer, if not require, these. Checked a few other retailers, but couldn't find the soft spikes with the larger threads. Dick's had plenty. Installed these in a few minutes. My wife was very pleased with the grip and feel of these on the course. January 22, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by PopaJohn3 Hard To Find For Old Shoes Dick's had just what we needed! We found a old pair of golf shoes that were in great shape, but needed spikes. We could could not find them anywhere. We walked into Dick's and the sales person helped us find what we needed. October 20, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Dan soft spikes Foot joy shoes prior to 2000 are not twist offs nor are they small diameter fine thread. Black Widow Large Golf spikes fit perfectly taking into consideration they are large diameter fine thread. Kudos for carrying this replacement brand which is hard to find. February 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ira Great features!! These spikes work great on our golf shoes. They usually last at least 1 season of golf before we have to replace them. January 27, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Dave42 This product was not right for my golf shoes. This product was not the right spike for my three pairs of Foot Joy golf shoes. Although they state they are made for Foot Joy, it appears they are for pre-2000 year Foot Joys. Not sure how many 15-year old golf shoes are still in service. My value and quality ratings are based on the fact that they were the wrong product and returned. November 7, 2014

It's yours...
It's yours...
He lives near San Francisco, makes more than $50,000 per year, and is voting for the billionaire to fight against political correctness.
For several days, I've been corresponding with a 22-year-old Donald Trump supporter. He is white, has a bachelor's degree, and earns $50,000 to $60,000 per year.
He lives near San Francisco.
"I recently became engaged to my Asian fiancée who is making roughly 3 times what I make, and I am completely supportive of her and proud she is doing so well," he wrote. "We've both benefitted a lot from globalization. We are young, urban, and have a happy future planned. We seem molded to be perfect young Hillary supporters," he observed, "but we're not. In 2016, we're both going for Trump."
At first, we discussed Bill Clinton.
Last week, I wrote an article asking why Trump supporters aren't bothered that their candidate called Clinton a shameful abuser of women who may well be a rapist. After all, Trump used to insist that Clinton was a victim of unfair treatment during his sex scandals. Either Trump spent years defending a man that he believed to be a sexual predator, even welcoming him as a guest at his wedding, or Trump is now cynically exploiting a rape allegation that he believes to be false.
Finally, an explanation for Bitchy Resting Face Nation
Here's something that has always puzzled me, growing up in the U.S. as a child of Russian parents. Whenever I or my friends were having our photos taken, we were told to say "cheese" and smile. But if my parents also happened to be in the photo, they were stone-faced. So were my Russian relatives, in their vacation photos. My parents' high-school graduation pictures show them frolicking about in bellbottoms with their young classmates, looking absolutely crestfallen.
It's not just photos: Russian women do not have to worry about being instructed by random men to "smile." It is Bitchy Resting Face Nation, seemingly forever responding "um, I guess?" to any question the universe might pose.
This does not mean we are all unhappy! Quite the opposite: The virile ruler, the vodka, the endless mounds of sour cream—they are pleasing to some. It's just that grinning without cause is not a skill Russians possess or feel compelled to cultivate. There's even a Russian proverb that translates, roughly, to "laughing for no reason is a sign of stupidity."
U.S. dynamism is in the dumps: Americans are less likely to switch jobs, move to another state, or create new companies than they were 30 years ago (or 100 years ago). What's going on?

A conversation about how Game of Thrones's latest twist fits in with George R.R. Martin's typically cliché-busting portrayal of disability
In 2014, a few media outlets ran stories diagnosing Game of Thrones's Hodor as having expressive aphasia, a neurological condition restricting speech. Some aphasia experts pushed back, saying that while Hodor has often been described as "simple-minded" or "slow of wits," aphasia only affects linguistic communication—not intelligence.
A new longitudinal study examined how college students slut-shame—and found that the practice is as illogical as it is damaging.
In 2004, two women who were long past college age settled into a dorm room at a large public university in the Midwest. Elizabeth Armstrong, a sociology professor at the University of Michigan, and Laura Hamilton, then a graduate assistant and now a sociology professor at the University of California at Merced, were there to examine the daily lives and attitudes of college students. Like two Jane Goodalls in the jungle of American young adulthood, they did their observing in the students' natural habitat.
The researchers interviewed the 53 women on their floor every year for five years—from the time they were freshmen through their first year out of college.
Their findings about the students' academic success later formed the basis for Paying for the Party, their recent book about how the college experience bolsters inequality. They found that the women's "trajectories were shaped not only by income ... but also by how much debt they carried, how much financial assistance they could expect from their parents, their social networks, and their financial prospects."
The 2016 campaign has revealed an America of stark division and mutual animosity.
ANAHEIM, Calif.—The police form a column that stretches across eight lanes of road and two sidewalks. There are dozens of them—Orange County deputies in olive-green uniforms and helmets with shields. A group of cops on horses occupies the middle of the street; they are flanked on either side by several rows of police on foot, holding their truncheons forward and yelling, over and over, "DISPERSE! LEAVE THE AREA!" as they march forward.
The cops are here, at the Trump rally, to prevent trouble.
A black man in a wifebeater shirt is waving a brightly colored homemade poster that reads, "LATINOS FOR BERNIE." He is arguing heatedly with a middle-aged white man in a yellow hard hat with TRUMP written on it. Most of the other Trump supporters have been held back by police a block up the road.
A rock structure, built deep underground, is one of the earliest hominin constructions ever found.
In February 1990, thanks to a 15-year-old boy named Bruno Kowalsczewski, footsteps echoed through the chambers of Bruniquel Cave for the first time in tens of thousands of years.
The cave sits in France's scenic Aveyron Valley, but its entrance had long been sealed by an ancient rockslide. Kowalsczewski's father had detected faint wisps of air emerging from the scree, and the boy spent three years clearing away the rubble. He eventually dug out a tight, thirty-meter-long passage that the thinnest members of the local caving club could squeeze through. They found themselves in a large, roomy corridor. There were animal bones and signs of bear activity, but nothing recent. The floor was pockmarked with pools of water. The walls were punctuated by stalactites (the ones that hang down) and stalagmites (the ones that stick up).
In certain corners of the country, white Americans are not only embracing the concept, but deciding that it might be key to resolving racial inequalities.
Is Trump really white America's problem, less than he is necessarily Mexican America's problem, or Muslim America's problem?
It's not what she wrote—it's her tendency to wall herself off from alternative points of view.
In a February 23 hearing on a Freedom of Information Act request for Hillary Clinton's official State Department emails—emails that don't exist because Hillary Clinton secretly conducted email on a private Blackberrry connected to a private server—District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan exclaimed, "How in the world could this happen?"
That's the key question. What matters about the Clinton email scandal is not the nefarious conduct that she sought to hide by using her own server. There's no evidence of any such nefarious conduct. What matters is that she made an extremely poor decision: poor because it violated State Department rules, poor because it could have endangered cyber-security, and poor because it now constitutes a serious self-inflicted political wound. Why did such a smart, seasoned public servant exercise such bad judgment? For the same reason she has in the past: Because she walls herself off from alternative points of view.
But we're better off believing in it anyway.
For centuries, philosophers and theologians have almost unanimously held that civilization as we know it depends on a widespread belief in free will—and that losing this belief could be calamitous. Our codes of ethics, for example, assume that we can freely choose between right and wrong. In the Christian tradition, this is known as "moral liberty"—the capacity to discern and pursue the good, instead of merely being compelled by appetites and desires. The great Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant reaffirmed this link between freedom and goodness. If we are not free to choose, he argued, then it would make no sense to say we ought to choose the path of righteousness.
Today, the assumption of free will runs through every aspect of American politics, from welfare provision to criminal law. It permeates the popular culture and underpins the American dream—the belief that anyone can make something of themselves no matter what their start in life. As Barack Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope, American "values are rooted in a basic optimism about life and a faith in free will."

Unanimously-approved bill calls on President Obama to consider suspending assistance if Palestinians insist on UN bid, Fatah-Hamas unity deal
Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 06.29.11, 19:58 / Israel News
Yitzhak Benhorin
The bill was approved by all 89 senators present. Its initiators are the Jewish and Democratic Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland and Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
A similar bill is scheduled to come up before the House of Representatives, where 293 members have already signed off on its approval.
Israeli officials on Wednesday expressed their satisfaction with the Senate's decision, viewing it as a support for the stand presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
during his speech
to the US Congress.
In the past few months, Israel has been pressuring American lawmakers to press the White House and threaten the Palestinians with economic sanctions if they decide to turn to the UN and declare statehood.
Israel believes that restricting the American aid to the PA may significantly affect the Palestinians leadership's decision to turn to the UN.
"Without the American money there's no Palestine," a senior Israeli source said. "The Palestinians know it, and therefore they're at odds over what would be the right move for them."
The prime minister and his associates have yet to address the Palestinian decision to approach the UN in September.
Netanyahu addresses Congress (Photo: Avi Ohayon, GPO)
"We are looking into the matter and its consequences," a state official said. "They have already said they would approach the UN in the past, and it's not surprising.
"However, we must remember that the Palestinian Authority is not one piece, and that not everyone there thinks the same. Some believe that turning to the UN at this time will damage the PA's relations with the UN."
Israel has also refused to comment on the difficulties in establishing a Palestinian unity government, but a senior official said he doubted whether "these difficulties are a factor in renewing peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians."
Meanwhile, in another attempt to pressure the Palestinians, the US and European countries are planning to convene a summit in mid July to try to come up with a new peace initiative, which would bring the parties back to the negotiating table.

Defensive woes deny Senegal semi final spot
In a topsy-turvy six-goal thriller, the Africans came from behind to force the Mexicans to extra time but the South Americans punished them for lack of concentration. Two goals from J. Enriquez (10min) and J. Aquino (62,in) had were almost enough for Mexico to see Senegal through but a spirited fight back from the Lions saw them score twice in less than ten minutes. Senegalese sensation of the tournament Moussa Konate headed them on 69 minutes before Ibrahim Balde brought both sides level seven minutes later to force the game to extra time. However, the Mexicans stood strong and capitalized on two defensive errors in extra time to score twice. Tottenham Hotspurs striker Giovani Dos Santos capitalized on a defensive mistake by P. Souare to burry the ball into the net before H. Herrera added a fourth after Abdoulaye Ba who was the last man headed a timid ball to the goalkeeper. Senegal join Egypt to pack their bags home as the last African representatives to leave the competition.

I appreciated the quick response to my order. I had not been able to get this particular fragrance at the departments stores in our area. I was glad to be able to see that this fragrance was available from your company online and at a slightly lower price than some other online companies.

Let's face it, it's a buyer's market. The great mortgage rates and home buyer tax credit make this the best time to buy a home. However life is full of surprises and events that are just beyond our control. And while this may not be the ideal time to sell your home – staging your home correctly will still make an impact on your sales price.
How Home Pricing & Values Work
The market decides the range of prices for your home. For example a home in your neighborhood may be worth $100,000-$150,000. What determines that $50,000 difference is the condition of your home, the materials (brick vs. siding, laminate vs. granite, etc.). Keep in mind that each neighborhood varies in pricing, but this example is the general explanation for why some homes (that are seemingly unimpressive) are actually worth more than homes that look much nicer because of the neighborhood it's in.
So now, knowing that your price range is beyond your control, there is wiggle room within that price range. After all, the difference between $100,000 and $150,000 is really features of your home that impresses the potential buyer. And while I'm not saying staging your home well will get you an extra $50,000, I am saying it will affect the first impression from the buyer – making the first bid maybe $10,000 higher than a messy home that was never staged.
Home Staging Tips That Will Make the Sale
So here it is: the five tips crucial to a good staging.
1. This one is a no-brainer, and yet I still saw many homes with this problem when I was house shopping. Clean your house from top to bottom. You might say, it's hard to keep your home clean all of the time with two children, three dogs, and ten goldfish – but trust me, a clean house makes all the difference. Yes, it will be like walking on eggshells for a few weeks or even months until the house gets sold, but you will be glad when you get extra sales money because of it.
2. Leave the house when potential buyers come. There are two reasons for this. One, you want to make the buyer feel comfortable, and not rushed. Two, you want to get out of the way, and the less people there are – the bigger your house seems. I spent way less time in homes that had the sellers there, it was awkward and difficult trying to see the house past their dirty dinner dishes and laundry on the floors. You want the buyer to be able to envision themselves there, not you and your family.
3. De-clutter your home. Junk piles up over time, and while you've gotten used to seeing your home that way – potential buyers will just think it's much smaller than it actually is. It's just common sense that bigger houses bring greater value to people – so make your home look as big as possible, even if you have to move extra furniture into a storage unit for a month. Mismatched furniture? Move the pieces that stand out the most, out of the house temporarily. Think of your house as a spa-like retreat people would love to relax and unwind at, and then arrange your furniture to create the spacious and relaxing feel.
4. Bake cookies or light candles. Smells of food generally make people feel more at home. Especially smells of sweets. While perfume scents from different sprays may turn some people off, the smell of chocolate chip cookies rarely bring negative feelings. Since the whole point of home staging is to make the buyer fall in love with the home – certain food smells can definitely bring a warm and fuzzy feeling from buyers. If you can't bake right before leaving the house, try lighting a scented candle to fill the room with a subtle smell of baked goods.
5. Paint your house a neutral color. Are your walls brightly colored? Maybe a bright red or orange? Loud colors not only shrink the room, but also deter buyers and make them value your home less. Compared to other repairs, paint is cheap. So pick out some neutral hues and give your house a fresh new coat (inside or out).

El Salvador
Current issues and what the World Food Programme is doing
What are the current issues in El Salvador
El Salvador is a middle-income country with 6.21 million inhabitants (52.3% women, 47.7% men) located in the Pacific coast of Central America. El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country of this region, with an average of 295 habitants per square kilometer.
El Salvador is a middle-income country with 6.21 million inhabitants (52.3% women, 47.7% men) located in the Pacific coast of Central America. El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country of this region, with an average of 295 habitants per square kilometer. The country has an unequal distribution of wealth, displaying a GINI coefficient of 0.44, meaning that the richest 10% of the population receives incomes 44 times higher than the poorest 10% (EHPM, 2011). At national level, 40.6% of the households are poor and 12.2% of these families live in extreme poverty (EHPM, 2011).
The 2011 EHPM National Survey showed that rural poverty was 50.2% and urban 35.4%. The increasing external debt of US$12.95 billion (51.7% of GDP) make it challenging for the government to sustain its budgetary commitments to social programmes.
The country is highly dependent on imports and remittances (17% of GDP) making the poor highly vulnerable to external shocks. El Salvador is very vulnerable to natural disasters, ranking ten out of 173 countries in the 2011 World Risk Report and 23 out of 182 countries in the 2012 Global Climate Risk Index. More than 88% of the national territory is at risk, containing 95.4% of the total population.
Recurrent food and nutrition insecurity is due to increased environmental vulnerability, which impacts food availability, food access and food consumption during and after a disaster. The lack of systems to ensure emergency preparedness among those most vulnerable also increases their recurrent food and nutrition insecurity. In the past ten years, the country has suffered eight major disasters which resulted in the death of 1,984 people and economic losses of US$3.2 billion. According to the regional summary of the impact of Tropical Depression 12E, prepared by ECLAC/World Bank/IDB/UNDP/GFDRR in November 2011, 12E affected more than 1.4 million people with damages worth more than US$300 million.
The nutritional health of the population shows that national food and nutrition security have been at risk for some time. The FESAL Health Survey of 2008 indicates that 19% of children between 3 and 59 months of age have low height for their age. Approximately 19.2% of children under 5 year are chronically undernourished; 40% of children from 6 to 11 months have anemia (the main micronutrient deficiency) and 17.2% of pregnant women suffer anemia at the end of their pregnancy.
WFP's 2012-2016 Country Strategy in El Salvador contributes to the Millennium Development Goals and El Salvador's 2010-2014 National Development Plan by supporting the government to ensure the food and nutritional security of the population. The strategy gives priority attention to vulnerable people and seeks to contribute in three areas:
- Improving Social Protection schemes through food and nutrition based interventions;
- Strengthening Disaster Risk Mitigation and Emergency Response;
- Strengthening Small Holder Agriculture and Associated Marked Development.
New projects in formulation include a Climate Change and Sustainable Agriculture project aimed at enhancing the food security and nutrition of small agricultural producers in El Salvador's dry corridor, and a National Food Reserve to assist food insecure families against food price increases.
What the World Food Programme is doing in El Salvador
WFP operations in El Salvador are designed to contribute to the food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable population groups
Social Protection
Nourishing El Salvador: its goal is to provide nutrition education and complementary feeding to 20,000 children under two and 2,000 pregnant and lactating women. The actions are focused in 36 municipalities where 1 out of every 5 children does not consume enough food in quantity and quality. Nutrition Education and Food Assistance are the main project components.
Nutrition Education: its objectives are to educate, both women and men, about the importance of a good diet and nutrition, the use of good practices in hygiene, storage and handling of food and the application of guidelines for planning, organization and preparation of foods, both for emergency and development contexts. This educational strategy has become a cross cutting component of all current and future projects of WFP in El Salvador.
Disaster Risk Mitigation
The lives and livelihoods of thousands of Salvadorans living in areas with high levels of risk and vulnerability are constantly affected by natural hazards that impact with more frequency and magnitude. The Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) is WFP's mechanism to provide support the Government of El Salvador in its efforts to attend to populations most affected by emergencies caused by floods, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and, pests. At present, WFP is piloting the modality of Cash and Voucher (C&V) transfers to support vulnerable rural families whose food security has been hampered by the impact of the coffee leaf rust on their livelihoods.
The Central America Early Warning System: its objective is the strengthening of systems and capabilities of early warning in Central America. Under the focus of humanitarian response, involving regional and local actors, the system's priority is on food insecure and vulnerable populations. This system is part of the regional information and communication platform of CEPREDENAC (Coordination Centre for The prevention of Natural Disasters in Central America).
Regional Humanitarian Response Center in El Salvador: this Center is managed by WFP in coordination with the Government of El Salvador. Its objective is to ensure a quick and timely response in the first 24-48 hours after a disaster. It is stocked with food and other humanitarian non-food items to provide food assistance to El Salvador and other countries in the region. Since 2012, WFP has implemented a Forward Purchase Facility (FPF), in order to be better prepared for an immediate response in emergency situations. The FPF is a pilot project that operates as a revolving fund to facilitate the purchase of commodities such as beans and oil by the countries in the region.
Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping (VAM) technical support service: WFP is recognized in the area of risk mitigation disaster for its expertise in the design and implementation of comprehensive information and monitoring systems, which can serve as early warning platforms with a food and nutrition security focus. El Salvador has developed this analysis capacity during the past few years and is currently making it available for its partners and counterparts at the regional level.
Strengthening of smallholder farmers and market development
Purchase for Progress (P4P): WFP is implementing initiatives to reduce the vulnerability to food insecurity of smallholder farmers of basic grains. WFP is strengthening their capacities to compete more fairly, increase their incomes, improve quality and local production toward greater food security for their families. P4P promotes the exchange of knowledge, experiences and good practices and has a priority focus on women support and participation.
New and innovative project initiatives
Building Resilient Communities in Degraded Watersheds in El Salvador: in coordination with Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG) and National Center for Agricultural and Forestry Technology (CENTA), the project's primary objective is to build the resilience of smallholder farmers in micro watersheds located in three regions: Metapán lagoon in the Department of Santa Ana, La Montañona in the Department of Chalatenango, and the Southern Cacahuatique Micro Region (MICSUR) in the Department of Morazán, through training in agro-environmental issues, the rehabilitation and improvement of livelihoods and, rehabilitation of their lands and therefore their food and nutrition security. The project would assist 6,000 small farmers and their families (30,000 people) over a period of 3 years.
Farmers to Markets: In coordination with MAG and CENTA, the project's objective is to enhance the food and nutrition security of 10,000 smallholder subsistence staple grain farmers (maize and beans) and their families. These vulnerable rural families are located in 11 municipalities of El Salvador, which under the project's strategy will be supported in making an integral transition from subsistence agriculture to a surplus agricultural production. This transition process will be facilitated under the Project, though Access to four basic markets:
- Finance;
- Insurance and/or warranty programs;
- Technical assistance / technology transfer, and iv) staple grain sales, under a scheme that promotes associativity, gender equity, environmental sustainability, all aimed at improving resilience at the household and community level;
Food Rescue – Soup Kitchens: considering that El Salvador had an estimated annual food inventory loss of US$ 5.5 Million in 2012 and that there is a problem of social exclusion, which includes situations of food and nutrition insecurity and deficiency in access to basic services; the overall objective of the project is to strengthen the universal social protection system, through a strategy of operational research and institutional learning to establish a logistics chain for food rescue linked to the creation of soup kitchens in the urban area of San Salvador, to allow access to healthy and safe food, nutrition and hygiene education for the target population of 150,000 beneficiaries.
