This month we investigate the complex issue of food speculation - looking at the impact speculative trading of food commodities, such as wheat, has on the price of food. To access your newsletter log in and scroll down to the bottom of the page
We report from Mexico where high maize prices are making it harder for poorer families to afford the national staple of tortilla.
As well as the investigation, the Ecologist Film Unit has also produced an exclusive short film telling the story of how a surge in financial speculation by traders is threatening the livelihoods of coffee farmers in rural Mexico.
The other investigations this month include a look at the emerging trade in our most precious of resources, water, and a report into the allegations of land-grabbing against UK charity, The Jewish National Fund.
Then we have two reports from Laos. One looking at plans for a controversial dam that threatens rice cultivation and fisheries. A second at the devastating consequences of the trade in exotic meat and wildlife souveniers in the country - and how it is being driven by tourism.
We've also just published a special report uncovering some disturbing truths about the treatment of migrant workers in both the UK and Europe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PatsyFla from Lovely choice I have, for several months, been thinking about buying two of these topiaries and finally did so (I bought two, for my front exterior entry of my home). Although the urns/containers in the catalog were lovely, I found two at a local retailer that gave me the look I wanted. The topiaries really are lovely, and they look real.

NSAID Pain Relievers Linked To Hearing Loss
A recently published study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that women who use analgesic pain relievers like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin may be at an increased risk for hearing loss. The study examined women aged 31-48 in 1995 and continued until 2009; researchers sent out surveys every two years inquiring about frequency of use, and amount of hearing loss. A similar study was conducted independently on men with clinical examinations and found similar results of hearing loss in those patients.
Typical Household Items, Dangerous Side Effects
- Many people keep analgesic pain medication on hand and use it regularly without thinking of possible repercussions.
- Combined use of all three types of analgesics increased danger for hearing loss even further.
- Researchers warn consumers that though these medications are household names, they have serious side effects.

There's no place like home!
After doing Christmas with the in-laws, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William went back to the Middleton family home in Berkshire, England, to ring in the New Year with her parents and sister Pippa.
Looking casual in jeans and a tan overcoat, the Duchess spent time in the yard with two family dogs on the last day of 2011. With Will and dad Michael Middleton walking nearby, Kate ran through the grass with the pups. The entire group seemed to enjoy the time outdoors.
Later, Kate presumably swapped her laid-back ensemble for one appropriate for the "canvas palace" set up by her sister.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Hi, I have recently had a spinal fusion. I also have Hashimoto's for the past twenty years. Since having my surgery I have had a racing heart over 110bpm at rest; low BP; dizziness; tachycardia, innapropriate anxieties / no reason; hot sweats; blurred vision; noise and light sensitivity; brain fog and bouts of depression. Do you think the surgery / anaesthetics may have caused problems with my thyroid? I have just heard of Hashitoxicosis and that inflammation can be a trigger / I'm sure I have a lot of inflammation from the surgery. What are you professional thoughts? Many thanks, Kylie
Hi, If it is Hashitoxicosis, do I need to check the antibodies? I was under the impression that thyroid levels can come back normal, but the antibodies in particular TSI would be high? Thanks
Hi, after surgery my thyroid levels have come back within normal reference range, which is why I was asking about Hasitoxicosis (symptoms of under / with bursts of over) rather than Hashimoto's. I have always been hypo with my Hashimotos, but most of my symptoms are hyper now. My thyroid is swollen and sore too. Can my levels be normal and still causing these smyptoms? thanks

This is a Chanel foundation with SPF15. It comes in a pump dispenser with the black plastic Chanel cap. There are 15 available colors at Nordstrom online, which is where I bought mine, and it retails for $52. There are more shades to choose from if you get the European version, but more on that later. It is supposed to have nut extracts to protect against free radicals.
APPLICATION: This foundation applied very smoothly and evenly with both fingers and a sponge. It has nice coverage, gives a luminous glow that is subtle, and a lovely finish. My only issue is the color. There is NOT one that matches my skin. I am NC10-15 and originally bought claire 20. It was too dark. I searched the boards, and found that there is a European shade called Limpide Nude 0.5 so I ran to ebay and shelled out $52 more for that shade. It is also too dark and too.....something.....I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe a bit too neutral for me?
OVERALL IMPRESSION: Anyway, there is no shade in this line light enough for me, which is really upsetting considering I love the finish and the coverage. This is a great foundation, just not for the extreme PPP. :( I am disappointed and due to lack of shade match would not buy again. continued >>

It would have been impossible to open the 62nd NBAA Convention without squaring off with the 500-pound economic gorilla in the room. NBAA president Ed Bolen didn't mince words: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's been quite a year."
There was no place to go but up as Bolen introduced a series of guests, from FAA administrator Randy Babbitt, Forbes' publisher Rich Karlgaard, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers president Tom Buffenbarger and Arnold Palmer, the legendary golfer and unabashed bizav proponent. Palmer had even premiered three new TV commercials produced to help counter some of the Air Transport Association's efforts to reinterpret the truth about the business aviation industry.
The morning began with the dedication of this year's show to the late John Winant, the association's first president in 1971, a man Bolen said, "More than any other individual was responsible for NBAA being what it is today."
Babbitt believes in the need for a safety management system (SMS) that offers whistle blowers immunity for exposing unsafe conditions as a critical element in reaching the next level of safety users expect. "When you have so few accidents and only a few data points, the trends don't always jump out at you," he said. "There are tons of data available, but right now we can't get to it. SMS will allow us to see the precursors of accidents." Babbitt was adamant about the relationship of the economy to safety. "We must avoid the temptation to cut corners because the economy is tight. If people are going to be punished for revealing a problem, accidents will happen, equipment will be lost and people are going to die."
Forbe's Karlgaard–a general aviation pilot and aircraft owner–explained the perfect storm of the last fall and spring that sent the economy into a tailspin. "What was most confusing was the Treasury Department allowing Lehman to fail after saving AIG. No one understood the rules. President Bush was on the way out and no one knew what was going on."
Karlgaard thinks history shows us the path, if we're paying attention. "Think of the companies started in the recession of the '70s," he said. "It was a time of incredible entrepreneurial success. Fred Smith started FedEx in 1970, Southwest took its first flight in 1971, Microsoft began in 1975, Apple in '76. These kinds of recessions clear out things that don't work. We won't be in this forever. Consider global growth: China 8 percent, Brazil 5 percent, India 6 percent, Australia 5 percent."
The president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Tom Buffenbarger, said we should be mad about not only how some members of Congress have portrayed business aviation, but that some of them are hypocrites in the way they portrayed "the image of business jets as toys for fat cats." He said all users need to relentlessly communicate with their legislators about the value of business aviation. Buffenbarger understands the industry well. He's on the road 250 days each year on union business, most often flying on the organization's Learjet 60.
He let the audience in on a secret tool to help move the industry forward: "Call (202) 546-1411. That's the switchboard at the White House." He urged everyone to call and leave a message for President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Immanuel, telling him how important a visit to Wichita could be to view the man-made devastation there. "By the way, you won't find that number in the phone book."

Bank forecloses on Durham's Geist mansion
Jennie Runevitch/Eyewitness News
Fishers - Millionaire Tim Durham is about to lose his mansion on Geist Reservoir. The bank which holds the mortgage is foreclosing on the former investor, saying he has missed six straight payments.
Durham's 10,000 square foot mansion still has a freshly-mowed lawn. Packages are still being delivered there, but the monthly mortgage hasn't been paid. The estate of the embattled businessman now faces foreclosure.
According to court papers, Durham's mortgage payment on the mansion was more than $18,000 a month. But the bank says he hasn't paid a thing in six months. The last payment received was March 1.
Court records show Durham owes JP Morgan Chase $3.5 million. He also owes Shelby County Bank for a line of credit.
Originally, it was hoped money from the home's sale would pay back investors from Durham's collapsed company, Akron, Ohio-based Fair Finance. But now, Kelly Burgan, the attorney for the Fair Finance bankruptcy trustee, doubts those investors will ever see a penny from the mansion, even if it sells for the listed asking price of $5.5 million.
"Based on our analysis, it looks like the outstanding amount of the two loans that are ahead of us could be greater than the property is worth, so we're just not terribly hopeful there will be any money left over for us," Burgan said.
The FBI raided two Durham companies last year, including Obsidian Enterprises on Monument Circle, amid a federal investigation of a possible Ponzi scheme. Durham denies any wrongdoing.
But when Fair Finance crashed in 2009, investors lost $200 million. To get their money now, attention turns to Durham's car collection and expensive artwork, which are set for auction.
"Even thought the economy in general is down, the collectible car market remains strong. I also am hopeful that there will be maybe a better than we expect recovery on the artwork," Burgan said. "So those things give me some hope."
Suggested Links
But the setback is clear from the foreclosure - a luxury home with little left for Durham's investors.
"We're frustrated by it and I can't even begin to imagine the investors feeling and frustration," Burgan said.
Despite the raids at Durham's offices in Ohio and Indiana, no criminal charges have been filed. As his Geist home faces foreclosure, Durham is living across the country in Los Angeles.

The California Highway Patrol and local police officers issued 110,000 more traffic citations in Los Angeles County last year then they did at the start of the economic recession, and a Sacramento attorney is questioning the timing.
In fiscal year 2006-2007, officers wrote 1,746,852 tickets countywide, according to data from Los Angeles County Superior Court. Last fiscal year, they wrote 1,857,825.
Statewide, the CHP issued about 200,000 more tickets in 2009 than in 2007, CHP officials said.
The CHP attributes the increase to more officers on the highways and new cell phone laws.
But Matthew Becker, an attorney who specializes in traffic cases, said cash- strapped state and local lawmakers are looking for ways to generate revenue.
"The policymakers are sticking more officers on the street knowing the officers will generate more tickets and more profit," he said. "It's not so much a safety issue, but hey, it's bringing in the bucks."
The state is facing a roughly $30 billion budget shortfall.
CHP spokeswoman Jaime Coffee said in fiscal year 2006-2007, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger authorized hiring 240 new officers and 173 dispatchers.
The CHP has no quota system and no direction has been given to officers to write more tickets, Coffee said. Verbal warnings and assistance to drivers by CHP officers showed a similar increase since 2007, according to statistics provided by the CHP.
A hands-free cell phone law that went into effect in July 2008 accounted for more than 100,000 tickets statewide, according to the statistics.
April is the state's Distracted Driving Awareness Month, with officers taking a "zero tolerance" stance on cell phone use, texting and other distractions while driving.
"Our officers issue citations for safety purposes, not for revenue," Coffee said. "If you're not breaking any laws, you won't get a ticket. It's pretty simple."
In 2009, increased numbers of citations corresponded with a 9.5 percent decrease in traffic collision deaths and 15 percent fewer accidents, she said.
L.A. County sheriff's Capt. Jim Thornton said deputies write tickets to reduce traffic accidents and increase safety.
"The cities are always concerned with more revenue" he said. "That's simple math. However that's not why we do it. We do it to make the streets safer."
Doug Johnson, fellow at Claremont-McKenna's Rose Institute for State and Local Government, said a statewide effort to rake in more revenue via traffic fines is unlikely.
A number of factors, including federal grants for DUI enforcement, weather and the number of drivers on the road can influence citation numbers.
"Increasing tickets to generate more revenue is more likely in a smaller jurisdiction," he said. "I understand the questions people have, but there are so many variables that can impact it."
Red-light cameras, he added, are relatively new and most are revenue-driven.
Still, Becker questioned the numbers and said he believes citizens who may not be driving dangerously could be targeted because of governmental fiscal woes.
"Is it really what we need from a safety perspective? I don't think so," he said. "From a revenue side for the policymakers, absolutely. Ka-ching."

Has anyone experienced any stability issues for models of hitches that DON'T require drilling (into spare tire pan, etc.)? For example, this is the Curt that fits my car:
Curt Trailer Hitch 12343 : CURT 1-1/4" Receiver - Class 2 Hitch
As you can see, the bolt holes all line up with existing bolts, so no drilling is required.
BUT, on the Draw-Tite (Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for Toyota Camry 2007 - 36416) there are two bars that extended under the spare tire pan. Extra support is obvious.
Just curious if anyone has experienced any support issues with the two different designs. I highly doubt there are any noticeable differences, unless you way overload it. Pretty damn sure they thought of it in the design process (notice Curt has an extra 90 deg bend at the bolts at the bumper instead of the bars under the wheel pan) and I tell myself that a class II is a class II and rated for the same tongue weight, but wanted to see what everyone thought or has experienced.
Actually...after looking, the Draw-Tite (with wheel pan support bars) is rated for 300 lbs tongue weight and the Curt is rated for 350 lbs. No drilling, although slightly more expensive, sounds damn good to me.

sudo: broken pipe
Ok so i've just installed mandrake 10 official next to my windows and suse 9.1 and everytime i try to to sudo i get a broken pipe error.
if i for example: sudo vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
it prompts for my password, i enter it and then: broken pipe.
i've never encountered this on suse and i've googled around a bit but i can't find what i'm doing wrong or how to fix it. anyone else had this problem?
I've got the same problem
I've got the same problem on Mandrake 10.0, but I'm running Mandrake on a virtual machine using VMWare. I really don't know if this is the problem. I'll try to solve it, and if I do, promise I'll share what I did to fix it.
This is only a suggestion: Do not use Linux Distribution Releases that are beyond their end of life (e.g.: no longer supported or updated). If you want to try out Linux, install VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems (the proprietary version is free for personal use, or you can get the Open Source Community release if you do not like proprietary software), then install a current (Mandriva 2009.0) or beta (Mandriva 2009.1) release. Mandrake 10.0 is seriously outdated (about on a par with Windows 95 or 98) and may not run correctly on newer hardware (even if it is Virtual).
Sudo and vi
Vi may probe for X11 extensions. If so, and if sudo did not allow
you to use X11 connection to your display, then you may solve
the problem by using xauth cookies and make sure you have the right
DISPLAY variable set (need not be :0.0, could be localhost:10)

As the thumping beats of the twin weekends of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival fade into the Indio night, a different kind of festival rolls in this weekend as the Stagecoach Country Music Festival returns to the Empire Polo Club for its eighth year.
The sold-out festival, which runs Friday, April 25, through Sunday, April 27, is topped by Eric Church, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. All three came up through the ranks of the festival, playing the "Mane Stage" earlier in the day in previous years before achieving headliner status. Of the three, only Aldean, Saturday night's headliner, has had a closing spot at the festival before.
Just as Coachella has become a barometer for rising alternative music artists, Stagecoach has been on target with emerging country artists.
This year's up-and-coming artists include Hunter Hayes, Brantley Gilbert and Florida Georgia Line, the latter of whom played in 2013 and impressed the promoter so much that the group earned a rare back-to-back invite to the festival.
"This is the most current lineup we've ever had," Paul Tollett, head of festival promoter Goldenvoice, said in an interview when the lineup was announced in October.
Whereas tens of thousands of music fans travel from around the world for Coachella, Stagecoach is much more of a homegrown affair — many of the attendees of the sold-out festival drive in from around Southern California, with some turning the event into an annual RV vacation.
In 2013, the festival instituted new rules in the camping area to tone down the wild parties. One of the conditions was that campers had to own their RVs. This year, there are still rules, and those camping in an RV had to fill out an application, but they are allowed to borrow and rent RVs. Stagecoach also has posted a code of conduct and an alcohol policy that it requires attendees to abide by or risk being ejected from the festival or arrested.
There are new changes in store for Stagecoach this year:
A new VIP area in front of the stage will be standing room only. Previously, that front section was filled with seats that would remain empty until late in the day. The seats will be behind the standing-room only area and general admission behind that.
Honky Tonk Dance Hall: Dancing is always a favorite Stagecoach activity, and now the dance hall gets shade, air-conditioning and demonstrations of line and square dancing as well as clogging. There will also be some up-and-coming California country artists performing.
Half-Pint Hootenanny: The children's area of the festival returns and this year it will be air-conditioned. The Half-Pint Hootenanny has included area girl and boy scouts since the festival began. A petting zoo includes goats, a miniature horse, ducks, rabbits, pigs and more.
STAGECOACH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL: Noon Friday-Sunday, Empire Polo Club, 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio. Tickets are sold out, but kids 10 and younger get into general admission areas of the festival for free. Visit www.stagecoachfestival.com for more information.

First, let me say, I'm a BIG fan of your work! I can honestly say that if I hadn't used some of your consumer direct marketing ideas, I would have not only been out of the business a few years ago, but I would have been bankrupt. Thank you so much!

The Fourth of July is one of those holidays when it is hard to resist playing up the theme in the food. It's why we make sure plenty of red, white and blue fruit tarts, flag-inspired cupcakes and brightly colored juices and cocktails always accompany our buffet of the usual hot dogs and burgers.
This year, we decided to carry the color scheme to our potato salad, too. And thanks to red and purple potatoes, roasted red peppers, cubes of white goat cheese, and several cups of blueberries, the American flag is well represented.
This salad also would be delicious with the addition of chicken or crumbled bacon. Alternatively, if tarragon isn't your favorite herb, cilantro or basil would play nicely.
Getting started with what you need:
- 24 ounces small red potatoes, halved or quartered.
- 24 ounce small purple potatoes, halved or quartered.
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Four tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided.
- Three tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
- Two tablespoons Dijon mustard.
- Quarter cup chopped fresh tarragon.
- Eight ounces goat milk cheddar or gouda, diced.
- Two cups fresh blueberries.
- One cup diced roasted red peppers.
Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by one inch. Add a hefty pinch of salt, then bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until fork tender, but not falling apart, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then spread them on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining two tablespoons of vinegar, the olive oil, mustard and tarragon. When the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl, as well as the cheddar, blueberries and roasted red peppers. Stir gently to coat with the dressing. Chill for one hour to let flavors develop.
Start to finish: 45 minutes.
Servings: Ten.

CHARLES HENRY MONKMAN August 15, 1951 - November 1, 2010 With heavy hearts and strong spirits we announce the passing of Charles Henry Monkman. Charlie leaves to mourn his passing his life partner and wife Connie; his children Lee, Kyle and Deanna; grandchildren Zach, Rayne, Charly, Kaylie, and Ethan; his step-children Darren, Jeanette, Jody and Gaille; step-grandchildren Jessica, Ross, Gage, Keith, Connie, Shae, and Genna; foster children Andre, Colby and Brieanna; sisters Bernice and Marlene; brother Larry; mother-in-law Margaret; many special nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He also leaves to mourn numerous kids and their families across Canada and the United States who were greatly impacted by their experience and time spent with Charlie. He was predeceased by his parents, Horton and Olga; sisters Isobel and Doreen; brother Orton; niece Myra and nephews Derek, Kelly and Cody. Charlie was happy that he recently reached 25 years of sobriety. He was a proud member of Alcoholics Anonymous and often stated that he was holistically addicted. In addition to Alcoholics Anonymous, Charlie learned and applied his Cultural teachings to assist in his own recovery. However, Charlie was an extreme man and he went on to seek as much information as he could about his Culture and Traditions. He used and shared this knowledge of the Great Mystery through various ceremonies, prayers and teachings to support and to ensure a better and healthier way of life for others. Without question, Charles Monkman was one of the most Spiritual men we have been blessed to know. Charlie worked for over 20 years in the addictions field. He was instrumental in creating and managing the clinical direction of four treatment facilities across Canada: Training and Learning Centre in Fort Francis, Ontario; Whiskyjack Treatment Centre in Northern Manitoba; the White Swan Treatment Centres in North Central Alberta and the Night Wind Treatment Centres in North Central Alberta of which he was an owner/operator. Charlie most recently worked as the Clinical/Cultural Director of Night Wind. His profile included Cultural awareness, Traditional teachings, addictions education, trauma healing and GAS (grief, anger and shame) reduction. He was a respected trainer, facilitator, speaker and Elder throughout the addictions field and had a special gift for working with youth. Charlie was one of the most non-judgemental people you'd ever want to know. He used humour and genuineness when interacting with people which most often left them feeling positive and inspired. From a street person to an executive, Charlie touched the hearts of people across the globe in a good way. Charlie often stated, Mankind is my business! A ceremony will be held at the St. Albert United Church Hall, 20 Green Grove Dr., on Wednesday, November 3, at 1:00 p.m. Memorial service to be held in Winnipeg on Saturday, November 13, at 2:00 p.m. at the West Kildonan Legion at 1748 Main St. In lieu of flowers a donation to Night Wind Treatment Centre would be greatly appreciated (Site 6, Box 4, RR #1, Legal, AB, T0G 1L0). Pallbearers are sons Kyle and Lee; grandsons Zach, Rayne, Ross and Gage; nephews Devon and Conrad. Honorary pallbearers are Morley Hanford, Dennis Delorme (Frenchie), Fox Morin, George Simard, Peter Ferris, Bill Palmer, Albert Tait, Herb Nabigon, Delmar Boni, Allen Benson, Len Benson, Charlie Ruggles, Wayne Whalon, his Spiritual son Tim Harrison, Spiritual sisters Ruth Morin and Lynn Wall. Thank you to the ICU staff at Royal Alexander Hospital for the compassionate care Charlie received and especially to his own doctor and friend, Dr. Debra Andrew.

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)
It will be six years in November 2016 that my good friend went to be with his creator. Still today, I think about him and dearly miss him a lot. In the past three years now, I have been trying to find Connie. I know she went to Arizona after Charlie passed away, so if you are reading this Connie, please let me know where you are and that you are well, I'm on Facebook. Anyway like I said before, Charlie played a big part of my life when I knew him. He always trusted me to do what he asked of me and knew I would do a good job doing so. The last time I did a sweat with Charlie, he gave me a sweat pipe to carry in his honor but I am unable to celebrate it because I want to keep it safe and unused. I was waiting for Charlie to call me back for work and that I was going to use it in one of our many sweats but the creator had better plans for him. Anyway, I still miss you my friend and I will always will. Those of you that knew Charlie, please keep posting your feelings here, maybe Connie is reading these and it might help her to get back on her feet as there are a lot of children out there that need her help. I am now a social worker, working for the same cause Charlie, Connie, and Lynn stood for but in a bigger way. I take pride with my job which I owe it all to Charlie's teachings and mentorships, without his leadership and guidance, I would probably not be working as a social worker and believe me I have tried many other jobs and careers but I always end up where I am helping other people with their addictions and social issues. Thanks you all for caring for a wonderful man and God Bless all of you!! - Posted by: William Ettawacappo (Friend, Elder and Cultural teacher and co-group worker) on: Apr 22, 2016
I first met Charlie in Thompson in 1998 where he helped open Whiskyjack Treatment Centre. I was studying to become a teacher but at the same time, I was struggling financially. My wife informed me that a treatment centre was recently opened and it was affiliated with my first Nation Band, so I went to Whiskyjack Treatment Centre and applied for work there. Upon my wait at the centre for someone to come see me with my application on hand, I noticed this (I thought was crazy) guy (Charlie) interacting with the youth in the centre and how the kids played and showed this guy (Charlie) respect. I thought, man that is so awesome, then he came to me and said "hi there my Brother". I thought my brother, I don't even know you. Then he said to me "so you're looking for work"? I said "yes I am". Then I handed him my application and Charlie looked at it and told me to come tomorrow as I was hired as a relief worker. For the next month or two, I kept getting called in for work and each time I had to participate in group as part of my job, what I didn't know then that I was getting the healing as well from Charlie as he often held powerful group therapy and so that's how I actually started my own healing journey with the help from Charlie working and helping him with his cultural work with the staff and kids. Today is June 9, 2015 and to this day I still very much miss and love Charlie for he was the only one that truly showed me I really mattered and that he cared and loved me back and to this day, I still mourn and often cry for my brother to come back and tell me a new word not found in a dictionary as Charlie often defined something with a very unusual word; those of you that knew Charlie, you know what I'm talking about; with that Charlie I bid you farewell my brother until we meet again across the river. With love William - Posted by: William Ettawacappo (My Mentor, life and cultural teacher, and my friend) on: Jun 09, 2015

He was always there for me & the others. He made us feel safe. I think me and Charlie had a father- daughter relationship :) he taught me a lot when I had stayed there, I do have a good memory of him, I remember this one time, he had drive me home for a visit, & when we got to my reserve he was talking to the ppl of Goodfish Lake like he knew everybody really, & they just looked at him funny :) that made us laugh. But to this day I think of Charlie Monkman & I miss him dearly :( he will always be in my heart. N Connie luv u and I miss you <3 - Posted by: Mildred Gladue () on: Nov 14, 2012

On Friday, June 24, more than 200 third year medical students in San Antonio and Harlingen received instruction in library resources that support clinical decision making. As a way of sharpening their information-seeking skills, they worked through a series of case-based scenarios. Before beginning their 3rd year clinical rotations, the students must complete the Information Mastery class, a part of their Clinical Foundations course.
Information Mastery was presented by a team of instructors in San Antonio which included: Glen Medellin, M.D., Associate Professor and Director of Medical Student Education in the Department of Pediatrics; Eric Willman, Systems Librarian; and Angela Myatt, Curriculum Liaison Librarian. Kathy Carter, Ramirez Library Librarian, presented the class in Harlingen.
The growing collection of mobile websites that are available to assist students in clinical decision making is just one of many important components that were highlighted.

Drive any distance along a Sardinian road and you cannot fail to notice strange stone structures dotted across the landscape. These are prehistoric dry stone wall dwellings called Nuraghe (Nuraxe) and there are some 7 000 scattered across the island. Once you start to look out for them they appear everywhere – sometimes dilapidated, often missing their roofs, occasionally so well preserved you can only wonder at the architectural nous of our predecessors. Named after the people who built them, they were constructed during the Nuraghic period dated at 1900 – 7300 BC, part of the Bronze Age.
There are many ways to visit these conical shaped structures – some are located in fenced off areas where you pay an entrance fee, receive a brochure and visit the site along with a tour bus – if you are unlucky – and alone if you visit around lunchtime. As the song goes, only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. This is particularly true in countries where lunch and siesta are the order of the day.
Some of the nuraghe are deserted due to their positioning on the top of a hill, surrounded only by the lowing of cows, the bells around their necks creating a mesmerising soundscape.
One such is the Nuraghe de Santa Barbara outside the town of Macomer in the Central Western area of Sardinia. Leaving the cows to watch over our car, we followed a sign pointing upwards and ambled up the path which wound uphill, flanked by hedgerows bursting with ripe blackberries which provided us with a welcome juicy snack.
Just when the younger members of our party began to wonder if we were there yet, we rounded a corner and there before us stood the nuraghe.
An old gate was held closed and bore a sign that made it clear that we were entering at our own risk. At least that is how we interpreted the do not enter message.
The huge stone structure towered above us. 15 metres high, it has been standing since the Bronze Age and so I reckoned it was safe to enter. It seemed rather Jenga-like; if you pulled out one stone would the whole thing collapse? In fact, these structures are a marvel of engineering. How were they built and balanced? How were these massive stones hoisted into position? Who designed the first tholos roof – a dome with concentric rows of stones decreasing in size until a final stone closes the top?
With light flooding through the doorway into the main chamber on ground level, it was possible to see the inside of a stone room where a fire would have been made in the centre to keep warm and cook. Three niches in the walls suggest that items were stored there or perhaps they were spaces for religious artifacts? A flight of stone steps led up the round wall like the inside of a snail shell. It was absolutely pitch dark. We used the torch on a mobile phone to enable us to ascend, feeling our way along the ancient walls and up the rudimentary steps. No doubt our ancestors availed themselves of a burning torch which would have thrown a better light than that on the Samsung Galaxy, but needs must.
On the first floor a window aperture let in light and views across the surrounding landscape.
Then we were back in darkness until we reached the roof terrace. The original structure would have gone up another floor and been finished off with a roof. We sat, blinking in the sun, feeling like characters from a Harrison Ford adventure movie.
We had seen similar structures in Haut Provence, built in a similar way. Around the time of their construction, the people populating Sardinia were trading with Corsica and France so clearly architectural exchange was taking place too. A bit of research reveals that this style of tholos roof – also called a corbelled ceiling – was found in Ancient Greece in the Bronze Age as can be seen in the tholos tombs at Mycenae. The technique was used widely across areas of Europe between 5 and 3 BC.
We assumed that these towers were used for defensive purposes as they provide good views over the surrounding countryside and were part of larger settlements. Archaeologists do not know what their precise purpose was but think that they were used for defence, housing, for religious purposes or meeting places.
The Nuraghe Losa outside the town of Abbasanta is a large complex with the remains of several towers.
Built of huge basalt blocks, it is estimated to be 3 500 years old. I read a quip that said that a Sardinian builder guarantees his work for 5 years whereas a bronze Age builder guarantees his for 5000 years. Now we can just marvel at the immensity of this structure, the power of its massive stones, piled on top of another with no mortar, standing up against the elements across the centuries.
I felt it to be one of those spiritual places that puts one in touch with one's own insignificance. As my son said 'these stones were here long before we were born and will still be here when we are dead'. Could these prehistoric builders have conceptualised that travellers would centuries later admire their engineering prowess, be dazzled by their ingenuity and physical strength? That we would be moved by the power of their structures that speak to a deep and primitive part of our psyches – the need for protection, for shelter, for community?
As if we had not already feasted on mind-expanding experiences, our final stop was Santa Cristina, outside the town of Paulilatino.Here there is a well which was used for religious purposes as the Nuraghic people worshipped the water goddess. This subterranean shrine – the sacred temple of Santa Cristina – consists of 25 steps descending 7 metres into the well.
The precision with which these tapering steps are cut, as well as the design of the sides and roof of the structure, bring to mind a contemporary architect having completed a recent commission. To consider that this was built in the Bronze Age is quite mind blowing. How were the rocks cut with such sharp edges, what tools did they use, how did they support the earth above them while they dug down into it?
There is a small aperture in the top of the roof which is aligned so that at the equinox the sun shines directly above, illuminating the water in the well.
The narrow stairway into the well is suggestive of entering the vagina of the goddess and provides a female counter balance to the phallic structures of the nuraghe standing erect across the countryside, displaying their power for miles around and defiantly challenging any enemies.
Our day of exploring the nuraghe was one of the undisputed highlights of our trip to Sardinia. Adults and children alike were moved by the evocation of past civilisations and the spirit of discovery. Clearly another visit is called for – after all there are thousands yet unseen.

NEW YORK (Feb. 22)
A consensus for a military stalemate in Viet Nam allowing intensive effort for peace emerged here today as rabbis and lay leaders of the three religious movements in American Judaism — Orthodox, Conservative and Reform –held an all-day study conference on Judaism and world peace. The conference, held at Columbia University under the auspices of the Synagogue Council of America, the national coordinating agency for the rabbinic and congregational organizations of the three religious, groups, was called to air the issue and not to offer or adopt any resolutions on it.
Dr. Irving Greenberg, an Orthodox rabbi and Associate Professor of History at Yeshiva University, called on religious groups to campaign to prevent "political reprisal if the administration explores the possibilities" of recognizing the Viet Cong or "a neutralist or Titoist solution. " Pointing to the right under Jewish law to "conscientious objection to a specific war, " Dr. Greenberg added: "Religious groups should evaluate and challenge the adequacy of the Administration's efforts."
Dr. Seymour Siegel, a Conservative rabbi and Associate Professor of Theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, called for "holding the conflict within controllable bounds and actively and sacrificially seeking means to terminate the conflict" –a position, he said, which is similar in essence to that taken recently by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Dr. Siegel, who is also secretary of the Rabbinical Assembly, the association of Conservative rabbis, declared that "Even in the midst of a war, we are bidden always to seek the ways of peace and to preserve the dignity of our adversary. "
Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, a Reform rabbi and the chairman of the Committee on Justice and Peace of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, a Reform group, called on the United States to "desist" in Viet Nam, declaring that when Washington talks of "our commitments to the government of South Viet Nam, " it means "our own propped up puppet of Saigon. " He added that: "The majority of the population of South Viet Nam support the National Liberation Front and almost all the territory of the South is willingly under "Viet Cong's control. "
Other discussants included Rabbi Israel Miller, president of the Rabbinical Council of America; Rabbi Max J. Routtenberg, president of the Rabbinical Assembly; Moses I. Feurstein, president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, Rabbi Balfour Brickner, director of the Commission on Interfaith Activities, Union of American Hebrew Congregations; Rabbi Harry Halpern of United Synagogue of America; Rabbi Samuel D, Soskin, CCAR; and George Maislen, past president of the United Synagogue of America.

Dietary Transition in India: An Analysis Based on NSS Data for 1993 and 2004
Our study examines changes in diets over the period 1993-2004. Diets have shifted away from cereals towards higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, oils and livestock products. Using household data, reduced form demand relations are estimated for nine food commodities. Significant own and cross-price effects that vary over time are confirmed, as also income/expenditure effects. Over and above these effects, more sedentary life styles and less strenuous activity patterns played a significant role in shaping dietary patterns. While changes in life style and activity patterns are irreversible, an important policy insight is that food price stabilization and expansion of livelihood opportunities deserve greater attention.

Regional News of Tuesday, 27 November 2012
Source: --
The First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama, visited an NDC victim of "all-die-be-die" at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi to empathise with her.
Ms Swaiba Mustapha met her ordeal when an NPP activist used his party's scarf to trap her neck and pulled her off the bucket of a moving pick-up vehicle crushing her head on the tarred road in the process. She also had the flesh on her right shoulder peeled off.
She was rushed to the hospital where the doctors stitched her scull and shoulder and then conducted a CT scan of her head to determine whether there is an internal bleeding or damage. Dr Dominic Awariya, a Trauma/Orthopaedic Specialist who attended to her, said she was in a stable condition.

Schlagel bummed by performance at 5A state swim meetSchlagel bummed by performance at 5A state swim
Kelsey Schlagel's high school swimming career didn't end quite the way she wanted.
With the amazing amount of talent in the state, Schlagel didn't perform as well as she had anticipated Friday in the Class 5A state swim meet preliminary races at the Edora Pool and Ice Center in Fort Collins.
The Grand Junction High School senior finished 26th overall in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 11.67 seconds, and 36th overall in the 200 freestyle in 2:03.02.
The finals begin at 2 today at EPIC.
"I wasn't very happy with my times," said Schlagel, who will attend Mesa State College in the fall. "It definitely wasn't my best. And I had really high expectations, so I'm pretty disappointed.
"But there are a lot of fast girls this year. Really fast girls. The meet is definitely faster in all of the events. And I definitely gave it my best, but it just wasn't enough."
Schlagel had primarily been a breaststroke swimmer throughout her high school career, but said the 200 freestyle found her a little more success this year.
"It was a better event for me this year, so I had really high expectations for the 200 free today," she said. "I went out fine, but I just couldn't bring it home. I think I went out a little too fast, and I just didn't have enough."
She got a good start in the 100 breaststroke and finished second in her heat. But the time didn't hold up, as she failed to make the finals or consolation events.
"I was my best times of the season, but not my best times overall," she said. "But it was a good couple of years. I look back and see what I was like as a freshman and look at my times, and now I look at myself as a senior and how much I've improved. It's kind of sad that it's over."
Cherry Creek didn't disappoint, as the Bruins are looking for their fifth straight crown and qualified at least one swimmer in each of today's finals.
Class 4A
Emily Stucky of Montrose picked a good day to swim her personal best times in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. Now, she hopes to swim even faster today.
Stucky's chance for a title in the Class 4A state swimming meet at Mountain View High School in Loveland, begin at 3:30 p.m.
Stucky swam the 50 in 24.63 seconds and the 100 in 52.86 seconds. Both were the second-best qualifying times, behind Thompson Valley's Maggie Varuska (24.61) in the 50 and Jackie Cromer of Lewis-Palmer (52.66) in the 100.
"It's always fun to swim fast, so today was a lot of fun," Stucky said. "Who knows what will happen (today), as there are a lot of fast girls. Most of the top girls are in the finals, that's
for sure.
"The 50 and the 100 are events where you can't mess up or you can be out of the race quickly. I'm pretty excited about my times today. For this season, these are my best times."
Stucky's effort certainly brought a smile to the face of Montrose coach Silas Almgren.
"Emily is in a great position and set up well for the finals," Almgren said. "The 50 is incredibly competitive. It's not the 100 is not competitive, but there are no guarantees in either race, as you can go from first to fifth easily. It's nice for her to be able to go for a high finish."
For that matter, it was not a bad day for Sierra Grove of Glenwood Springs, who also qualified for the finals, fourth in 50 (24.73) and fifth in the 100 (53.79).
"I was really happy with my swims, especially my 50 because I haven't taken time off in that event the past two years," Grove said. "I came up with a PR in the 100, too, an event I really like a bit better than the 50. This is really exciting because there are a lot of good
swimmers here so we'll just have to see how it goes (today)."
The race for the team title appears to be in Rock Canyon's hands. The Jaguars qualified at least one swimmer for either the championship or consolation finals in all 11 events.
The prelims in diving begin at 10:30 a.m., with Delta's Brittany Conger and Gunnison's Melissa Ashwood competing.

I haven't looked at the scipy code, but the uniform spline coefficients can be gotten by filtering forward and back along each axis. It essentially factors the fit matrix into lower/upper factors with constant diagonals modulo boundary conditions, and forward/reverse substitution reduces to IIR filtering. This is also used for other interpolation schemes, for instance variance preserving interpolation which is useful when matching scenes using mutual information.

Whether he's platinum or barely cracking 100K, Musiq Soulchild is going to put out quality music just off the strength he knows no other way. Philly's own ensures his Musiqinthemagiq album receives another shot of publicity with the release of his newest video, "Yes." The best thing about the visual may be that it actually carries a plot, and a dope one too at that. Without giving away too much before clicking play, Soulchild is in a relationship with a woman with the very real bout against breast cancer. The rest is waiting to be told, but I can assure you it doesn't end like Aaron Hall's "I Miss You."
And just because stuff like this cannot be publicized enough, Musiq deciding to run with this theme for the video isn't some ploy to appear sympathetic. He's an actual ambassador to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Circle of Promise – an organization geared toward promoting breast cancer awareness amongst the African American female community.

E-NEWSLETTER – August 2012

August 2012
This Month's Selling Principle:
How to be a Winner!
It is uncanny how often professional trainers include Dale Carnegie on their list of people who had significantly influenced their careers. It's remarkable that his impact is as far reaching and important today as it was when he first published "How to Win Friends and Influence People" back in 1937. This month, I thought I'd pass onto you the following summary of his recommendations for becoming a friendlier person, winning people to our way of thinking, and being a good leader.
Become a Friendlier Person
1. Don't criticize, condemn or complain.
2. Give honest, sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Become genuinely interested in other people.
5. Smile.
6. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
7. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
8. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
9. Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.
Win People to Your Way of Thinking
10. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
11. Show respect for the other person's opinion. Never say, "you're wrong."
12. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
13. Begin in a friendly way.
14. Get the other person saying, "yes, yes" immediately.
15. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
16. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
17. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
18. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
19. Appeal to the nobler motives.
20. Dramatize your ideas.
21. Throw down a challenge.
Be a Leader
22. Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
23. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
24. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
25. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
26. Let the other person save face.
27. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise."
28. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
29. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
30. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.
Until the next time, be well, do good work, and keep in touch!
Michael D. Hargrove
"A leader must make people want to get things done. From their desire come initiative, drive, creativity, and persistence."

Objection of the Month: "I don't want all this back and forth stuff."
These are just a few of the most common strategies shared at the workshops we've conducted all across North America and attended by thousands of the top sales people in our field. Please keep in mind that nothing works all the time, and no one thing will work for everybody. Each of these strategies, of course, need to be tailored to the individual user, to the specific customer, and the particular situation. Also, this is by no means the definitive work on overcoming this particular objection and it's not intended to be.
a. "Mr. Customer, there are several different ways we can fit whatever vehicle you choose within whatever budget you had in mind. What I'd like to do, if you'll allow me to, is to put all the ways we can accomplish for you side by side and in writing. This way you can see for yourself one after the other, after the other… and after reviewing them all, you can tell us which way works best for you. Sound fair?"
b. "I hate that too. Fortunately, with all the information that's out there these days, the only time I end up having to do the back and forth stuff is when I'm helping a customer who's either misinformed, uninformed, or totally unrealistic. Now, it's obvious to me you've already done some of your research, right? And you do know we aren't a library or a nonprofit organization, right? See, you're realistic … we won't have to go through all that, will we?"
c. "Our obligation at this dealership is to show you the best way to own this vehicle. Now, the best way, of course, is to pay cash, however, most of us aren't able to do that. The next best way is to finance as small a balance as possible for the shortest amount of time. After showing that to you, if we need to make adjustments to suit your particular situation, we'll do it together. Sound fair?"
d. "Let's do this. Right now, let's just agree to disagree in an agreeable fashion. That way no one will ever have to get upset. Does that sound doable? "
e. "Mr. Customer, please remember that no one can spend YOUR money for you. And rest assured that I know this too. With a little bit of patience, I'll help both you and the sales manager reach an agreement on terms. Okay?"
f. "Okay, that's why I'm here! There are two parts of my job. One is to make sure we find the right car for you. The other is to help you and my manager agree to terms. I'm really good at both parts of my job. Will you allow me opportunity to prove this to you?"
g. "Negotiating with an amateur can be very unpleasant, I know. But I'm a professional. With a little patience and flexibility, I'll have you out enjoying your new car before you know it! Sound good? "
h. "Don't you hate that? Me too! Whenever I'm forced to negotiate that way I always feel like a clown in a circus! So I'll tell you what. If I end up doing that today, you have my permission to reach out and squeak my big red nose! Fair enough?"
Next month's objection will be: "I've got you beat" or "I can get a better deal somewhere else." We need YOUR input! Please forward your ideas on this one, or your suggestions on which objection to cover next, to email@example.com.
"If you want to learn about fear, whatever it is you fear doing, that is the very next thing you need to do. Fear is not a wall; it's just an emotion. Walk through the fear."

On Success: Fundamentals
by Lou Holtz, Winning Every Day
Whenever I stress the importance of fundamentals, I like to tell the story about the guy who walked into the pet shop to buy a bird.
He noticed several of them were listed at $1.90. When he went to buy one, the pet store owner said, "You don't want those birds, sir. I have the ideal bird here for you and it's only $692."
The guy looked at the bird and said, "Why it's just like all those other birds. How come it's so expensive?"
The store owner replied, "Ah, but this bird is different. It can talk and sing. The other birds just sit there."
The guy thought for a minute and said, "Gee, it's a lot of money, but I live alone and would love to have the company." So he bought the bird for $692.
The next day the customer returned to the store, found the owner, and complained, "I paid $692 for that bird and it doesn't talk or sing."
The owner said, "Well did you buy the bird a mirror?"
The guy says "No".
The owner said, "if you buy the bird a mirror he will look at himself in the mirror and I guarantee he will talk to you, I've got a mirror here for only $23." So the customer purchased the mirror.
He returned irate the next day and complained, "My bird looked at himself in the mirror, but he still doesn't talk or sing."
The owner replied, "That's impossible. I have the same type of bird as you. Why, just today he got up, looked at himself in the mirror, and then ran up and down his ladder."
The guy stopped him and said, "What ladder?"
The owner said, "You mean to tell me that you didn't buy the ladder! That bird won't talk or sing unless he first gets his exercise on the ladder. We have a ladder on sale today for only $27." The guy bought the ladder.
Over three days the storekeeper sold him a parrot, a mirror, a ladder, and a swing.
At the end of the week, the customer returned in tears. He told the storekeeper, "My bird looked at himself in the mirror, climbed up and down in his ladder and swung on his swing, and then he keeled over in his bath. Just before he died, he looked over to me and said, "Don't they sell any food at that store?"
"How we use our mind is crucial to our finding and getting what we want out of life, and giving what we want to it."

- Mining production foreman
- Crew of 12 for mining (2 shifts of 8 hours each.)
- Cook
- Water Pumps to move water to where mining operations are occurring
- Rock pumps to move the dirt, rocks and water
- Sluice box
- Shaker Tables
The Graystone Company (OTCQB: GYST) announced that it has begun mining production in Peru. The Company began mining production operations in November 2012 and expects to slowly develop and expand its operations over the next 6 months. The Company's expectations are that it will run one System (see below) during the 4th quarter prior to adding heavier equipment; thereby, allowing the Company the flexibility to locate the optimal locations to mine. Company's Expected Production The Company expects to mine 22 days per month and to generate between 15 – 20 grams per day. The Company expects to increase its number of Systems by approximately 1 per quarter beginning in 2nd Quarter 2013. The Company also expects to increase its gold recovery to 50 grams per day per System with the addition of heavier equipment such as an excavator and trammel and/or sluice box. The Company expects to recover approximately 850 – 900 ounces of gold in 2013 for revenue of approximately $1,000,000. The Company expects to recover approximately 2,000 ounces of gold in 2014 for revenue of approximately $2,500,000. Company's Mining Operations The Company's mining operations in Peru consist of alluvial (or placer) mining. Alluvial mining refers to mining precious metal deposits (particularly gold and gemstones) found in alluvial deposits – which are deposits of sand and gravel in modern or ancient stream beds, or occasionally glacial deposits. The gold deposits are moved by stream flow from an original source such as a vein. Since heavy metals like gold are considerably more dense than sand, they tend to accumulate at the base of placer deposits. The Company uses the term "System" to refer to its mining production operations. A "System" consists of the following:

Amazing, Apr 12, 2013
Christina (French)
from New York, New York
My friends and I were visiting NYC when we decided
to see a play - the story of this one was looking
interesting and we knew a bit of the actors; so we
gave it a try.
What a good and lucky choice! It was beautifully
played, we went from laughs to tears within the
1.5 hour spent in the theater. A lot of complicity
between the 3 actors, who all showed 3 different
kinds of humor and emotion.
Particularly terrific job from Tom Sturridge, we
decided we'll watch all his movies after the play.
The only criticism I could make is that it ended
very soon, 5 more minutes to develop the future of
the kids would have been appreciated.
But anyway, a great moment, congratulations to the
three actors - and I definetely strongly recommend
this play!

Don't Miss This One!, Apr 08, 2013
from Boston, MA
I had never heard of Orphans, but my daughter and I both like Alec Baldwin, so I thought I'd take a chance at the last minute. We got 4th row seats! Couldn't have been better. From the moment this play started, I was completely enrapt. I can't say enough about the fabulously played characters of Philip by Tom Sturridge, Alec Baldwin's Harold and Ben Foster's Treat. I don't usually enjoy anything that is not a spectacular musical, so for me to think that this play was over way too quickly is, in itself, amazing. I would recommend this play to anyone who wants to be completely taken in by the characters, although it may not be appropriate for young children.

awesome acting but too short., Apr 03, 2013
from New York, New York
I went to the play march 30th and had no idea what to
expect. The acting was amazing! I was taken into the actors
performances and started to forget it was a play. Tom
Sturridge and Ben Foster should definitely be up for a Tony
award. I would have given the play 5 stars but it was too
short. I could not believe how fast it went especially for the
money paid for both tickets. Overall the acting made up for
everything. Highly recommended.
