Ivoire has also been my signature fragrance since it came out in the U.S. in the early 1980s. I am a fragrance fanatic, and love to try new scents, but there are many that have given me an allergy/headache. Ivoire Eau de Toilette is so subtle, fresh, and clean-smelling. The full strength parfum is to die for--good luck finding it! In either strength, there is a whole bouquet of flowers in the bottle, and it just envelops you in the most complex, sophisticated and classic fragrance! My husband loves it on me and makes sure I never run out!

Daughter quite happy with the outcome , me I feel I would be better off shopping in store in future and knowing what I PAY FOR IS WHAT I GET.
Your service and delivery were excellent
Your Ad showed the old Box for Ivore De Balmain by Pierre Balmain it did say new packaging-Tester in brackets but I received Ivoire Balmain and a different fragrant smell. As I said it did not go to waste as the Daughter inhabits a different generation and she was not looking for a specific item. Please change your advertising to reflect the true situation with Ivore.

Comments about Pierre Balmain Ivoire De Balmain Perfume:
Unfortunately, the box and title of the parfume is showing Ivorie de Balmain, but if you look at the larger picture of the bottle that you would purchase, it is not the original Ivorie. If you do not have the bottle with the word de in the title it is not the original, I did purchase and am not happy at all. I did not look close enough and I recieved the Ivorie Balmain, two totally different parfumes. But it is all most impossible to find the original, be careful and read everything!

Comments about Pierre Balmain Ivoire De Balmain Perfume:
This is nothing like the iconic frag it replaces I know because I've worn it for 32 years. It is unremarkable, uninspired and pedestrian. It smells like an old lady and I am an old lady. It you want something unique and a frag you can love don't pick this one.

Wood vs Chain Link
Planning on making my outdoor portion of the dog kennel and just wanting to get opinions on chain link vs wood panel. Our house is in a pretty quiet wooded area but there will be quite a bit of birds/squirrels etc. Would it be better for the dogs to be able to see out with the chain link or keep them from seeing out with the wood panel? Price does not really matter because it is not going to be too expensive either way. Thanks! |

I think chain link would be better than the wood because it is can't be chewed and will last longer. I would prefer the dogs to be able to see out. But if that would become a problem, there are plastic or wood strips that can be woven thru the chain link that would block their view.

I would go with chain link....and if you want to block the view the strips are great. We used them with my low vision golden to kept him from running into the chain link.

The Role of Forkhead Box Q1 Transcription Factor in Ovarian Epithelial Carcinomas
Received: 27 September 2012 / Accepted: 18 October 2012 / Published: 26 October 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Genes and Pathways in the Pathogenesis of Ovarian Cancer)
Abstract: The role of the forkhead box Q1 (FOXQ1) transcription factor in cancer pathogenesis has recently emerged. Overexpression of FOXQ1 has been found in a variety of human cancers, and its upregulation has been associated with poor prognosis in colorectal, breast, and non-small cell lung carcinomas. However, the molecular mechanism underlying how FOXQ1 contributes to ovarian epithelial carcinomas remains unclear. To this end, we analyzed gene expression levels in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines and demonstrated a higher expression level of FOXQ1 in epithelial ovarian cancer cells than that in normal epithelial cells. We then used a human ovarian cancer cell line, SKOV3, which expressed a higher level of FOXQ1, as a cell model to investigate the biological effects of FOXQ1 by using RNA interference. Silencing of FOXQ1 expression using a shRNA knockdown approach affected the expression of several cell cycle regulators, leading to suppressed cell proliferation, reduced cell motility/invasion, and upregulation of epithelial cell markers and the downregulation of mesenchymal cell markers. Taken together, these results suggest that FOXQ1 expression is essential to maintain cell proliferation, motility/invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotypes in ovarian cancer cells.

Extraction of Long-Term Rhythmic Structures Using the Empirical Mode Decomposition
Long-term musical structures provide information concerning rhythm, melody and the composition. Although highly musically relevant, these structures are difficult to determine using standard signal processing techniques. In this paper, a new technique based on the time-domain empirical mode decomposition is explained. It enables us to analyse the long-term metrical structures in musical signals and provides insight into perceived rhythms and their relationship to the signal. Besides, it decomposes a given signal into its constituent oscillations that can be modified to produce a new version of the signal. The technique is explained, and results are reported and discussed.

Part of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season |
Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, devastating portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, in early-November 2013.[1] It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon recorded in modern history,[2] killing at least 6,300 people in that country alone.[3] Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of one-minute sustained wind speed.[4][5] As of January 2014, bodies were still being found.[6]
The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia on November 2, 2013. Tracking generally westward, environmental conditions favored tropical cyclogenesis and the system developed into a tropical depression the following day. After becoming a tropical storm and being given the name Haiyan at 0000 UTC on November 4, the system began a period of rapid intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5. By November 6, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the system as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale; the storm passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau shortly after attaining this strength.
Thereafter, it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on November 7, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (146 mph; 127 kn), the highest in relation to the cyclone. The Hong Kong Observatory put the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds at 275 km/h (171 mph; 148 kn),[7] prior to landfall in the central Philippines, while the China Meteorological Administration estimated the maximum two-minute sustained winds at the time to be around 280 km/h (174 mph; 151 kn). At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (196 mph; 170 kn), making Haiyan the strongest tropical cyclone ever observed based on one-minute sustained wind speed; several others have recorded lower central pressure readings.[4] Several hours later, the eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Gradually weakening, the storm made five additional landfalls in the country before emerging over the South China Sea. Turning northwestward, the typhoon eventually struck northern Vietnam as a severe tropical storm on November 10. Haiyan was last noted as a tropical depression by the JMA the following day.
The cyclone caused catastrophic destruction in the Visayas, particularly on Samar and Leyte, Cebu, Capiz, Negros, and Northern Iloilo. According to UN officials, about 11 million people have been affected – many have been left homeless.[8]
On November 2, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began monitoring a broad low-pressure area about 425 kilometers (265 miles) east-southeast of Pohnpei, one of the states in the Federated States of Micronesia.[nb 1] Moving through a region favoring tropical cyclogenesis,[10] the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the developing system as a tropical depression early on November 3.[11][nb 2] Subsequent intensification resulted in the JMA upgrading the system to a tropical storm and assigning it the name Haiyan (1330, Chinese: 海燕; literally: "petrel") at 0000 UTC on November 4.[11] Tracking generally westward along the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge,[13] rapid intensification ensued by November 5 as a central dense overcast with an embedded eye began developing; the JMA classified Haiyan as a typhoon later that day.[11] By November 6, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assigned the storm the local name Yolanda as it approached their area of responsibility.[14] Intensification slowed somewhat during the day, though the JTWC estimated the storm to have attained Category 5-equivalent super typhoon status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale around 1200 UTC.[nb 3][16] Later, the eye of the typhoon passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau.[17] Around 1200 UTC on November 7, Haiyan attained ten-minute sustained winds of 230 km/h (143 mph; 124 kn) and a maximum intensity (lowest barometric pressure) of 895 mbar (hPa; 26.43 inHg).[11] Six hours later, the JTWC estimated Haiyan to have attained one-minute sustained winds of 315 km/h (196 mph; 170 kn) and gusts up to 378 kilometres per hour (235 mph; 204 kn).[18]
The storm displayed some characteristics of an annular tropical cyclone, though a strong convective band remained present along the western side of the system.[18] At 2040 UTC on November 7, Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in Guiuan, Eastern Samar at peak intensity with ten-minute sustained winds of 230 km/h (145 mph) as measured by PAGASA.[20] The JTWC's estimate of one-minute sustained winds of 315 km/h (195 mph) made Haiyan the most powerful storm ever recorded to strike land in terms of one-minute sustained winds.[4][21] Interaction with land caused slight degradation of the storm's structure, though it remained an exceptionally powerful storm when it struck Tolosa, Leyte around 2300 UTC.[22] The typhoon made four additional landfalls as it traversed the Visayas:[23] Daanbantayan, Bantayan Island, Concepcion, and Busuanga Island. A weakened Haiyan, with its core disrupted by interaction with the Philippines, emerged over the South China Sea late on November 8.[24] Environmental conditions ahead of the storm soon became less favorable, as cool stable air began wrapping into the western side of the circulation.[25] Continuing across the South China Sea, Haiyan turned more northwesterly late on November 9 and through November 10 as it moved around the southwestern edge of the subtropical ridge previously steering it westward.[26] Rapid weakening ensued as Haiyan approached its final landfall in Vietnam,[27] ultimately striking the country near Haiphong around 2100 UTC as a severe tropical storm.[11] Once onshore, the storm quickly diminished and was last noted as it dissipated over Guangxi Province, China during November 11.[11]
Some political leaders and climatologists have connected the typhoon to climate change. During the 2013 United Nations Climate Change Conference (coincidentally held concurrently with the typhoon's strike), Yeb Saño, the lead negotiator of the Philippines delegation, received a standing ovation when he declared a hunger strike:
Climatologists have consequently published analyses correlating the increasing intensity of storms with the progression of climate change.[29][30][31][32][33][34] As Saño continued his hunger strike, several delegates, including American delegate Collin Reese, joined him in fasting. Sixty people from Climate Action Network, an umbrella group of environmental non-governmental organisations, also joined the hunger strike.[35]
Upon JTWC's declaration of Tropical Depression 31W on November 3, a tropical storm warning was issued for Chuuk Lagoon, Losap, and Poluwat in the Federated States of Micronesia. Further west, Faraulep, Satawal, and Woleai, were placed under a typhoon watch while Fananu and Ulul were placed under a tropical storm watch.[36] The following day, the tropical storm warning expanded to include Satawal while a typhoon warning was issued for Woleai.[37] Much of Yap State and the islands of Koror and Kayangel in Palau were placed under a typhoon watch.[38] The government issued a mandatory evacuation for Kayangel, and although most residents ignored the warning, they all survived the storm.[17] As Haiyan progressed westward, the easternmost advisories were gradually discontinued.[38] As Haiyan intensified into a typhoon on November 5, warnings were raised across Palau and Yap State.[39][40] Government offices in Melekeok were used as an evacuation building for Palau.[41] Despite mandatory evacuation orders, most residents on Kayangel remained on the island and rode out the typhoon.[42]
Shortly before Typhoon Haiyan entered the Philippine area of responsibility on November 6, PAGASA raised Public Storm Warning Signal (PSWS) No.1, the lowest of four levels, for much of the Visayas and Mindanao.[43] As the storm continued to approach the country, warnings expanded into Luzon and increased in severity for eastern areas.[44] By the evening of November 7, PSWS No. 4, the highest level of warning which indicates winds in excess of 185 km/h (115 mph) are expected, was raised for Biliran Island, Eastern Samar, Leyte, northern Cebu, Metro Cebu, Samar, and Southern Leyte.[45][46] Through November 8, the coverage of PSWS No. 4 continued to expand, with areas in southern Luzon being included.[47]
Officials placed police officers in the Bicol Region ahead of the storm.[48] In the provinces of Samar and Leyte, classes were canceled, and residents in flood- and landslide-prone areas were required to evacuate.[49] Some of the storm-threatened areas were affected by an earlier earthquake in Bohol.[50] The Philippine President requested the military to deploy planes and helicopters to the region expected to be affected.[51] As Haiyan was moving very fast, PAGASA issued warnings at different levels to about 60 of the 80 provinces, including the capital Metro Manila.[52] On November 8, the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters was activated, providing widespread charitable satellite coverage to relief organizations.[53]
The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters hoisted a level three emergency response in the provinces of Hainan, Guangdong and Guangxi. All fishing vessels were urged to return to ports by noon on 9 November.[54] The Hong Kong Observatory issued the Strong Monsoon Signal at 19:10 HKT on 9 November,[55] and it was still in place on 13 November.[56]
On November 8, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung activated the highest state of preparedness in the country.[57] Approximately 600,000 people across southern and central provinces were evacuated while a further 200,000 were evacuated in northern provinces. Alerts were sent to 85,328 seagoing vessels, with a collective crew of 385,372 people, to sail to safer waters away from the storm. Requests were sent to China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines to aid any fishermen who needed immediate shelter from the typhoon.[58] Threatening Vietnam after two other typhoons, Wutip and Nari, there were concerns that the storm would cause significant damage to homes with makeshift repairs.[59] Roughly 460,000 military personnel and other authorities were mobilized to assist in evacuation efforts.[58] Hundreds of flights were canceled across the country while schools were closed on November 11. On the small island of Cồn Cỏ, all residents were moved to underground shelters with enough supplies for several days.[60] The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) branches in Vietnam prepared relief stockpiles, consisting of food, water, housing material, and ₫6.6 billion (US$310,000) in funds.[58] The local United Nations Resident Coordinator, Pratibha Mehta, praised the government's actions and credited them with saving numerous lives.[57] However, there were complaints by many residents that the warnings came too late.[60]
Typhoon Haiyan was the strongest tropical cyclone that struck Palau since reliable records.[61] On Kayangel in Palau, a high storm surge damaged several houses,[41] while strong winds downed trees.[17] Despite residents' refusal to evacuate, no fatalities or major injuries took place on the island. Helicopters were flown to the island to survey damage and provide relief supplies. The government planned to evacuate those who were left homeless from the island.[42] Koror, Babeldaob and Kayangel each lost access to water and power.[17] In Koror, winds reaching as high as 120 km/h (75 mph) blew out rooftops and downed trees and power lines. A causeway linking an offshore hospital to the main island was temporarily shut down after being inundated by water.[62] On the northern end of Babeldaob, Haiyan damaged schools and buildings.[41] Lying closest to Haiyan at the time of the typhoon's passage, Kayangel was flooded in its entirety, and all homes were destroyed. Though no people were killed there, 69 others were displaced by the storm.[62]

Typhoon Haiyan, called typhoon "Yolanda" in the Philippines, caused catastrophic damage throughout much of the islands of Leyte, where cities and towns were largely destroyed.[64] As of April 17, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) confirmed 6,300 fatalities across the country, 5,877 of those taking place in the Eastern Visayas.[3] The actual death toll remains unclear, being claimed to be at least 10,000 by the victims from Tacloban City, Leyte alone. The total loss of life is estimated to be as low as 2,500 by President Benigno Aquino III. As of November 13, Red Cross estimated that 22,000 people were missing while approximately 65,500 people were listed as such through Google Person Finder. Google, however, cautioned that this value is not to be read into, as shown during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami when more than 600,000 names were listed in contrast to the final death toll of roughly 20,000.[64]
In Surigao City, 281.9 mm (11.10 in) of rainfall was recorded, much of which fell in under 12 hours.[65] Storm surges were also recorded in many places. In the island of Leyte and Samar, PAGASA measured 5–6 meter (15–19 ft) waves.[66] In Tacloban, Leyte, the terminal building of Tacloban Airport was destroyed by a 5.2 m (17 ft) storm surge up to the height of the second story.[67] Along the airport, a storm surge of 4 m (13 ft) was estimated.[68] Waves of 4.6 m (15 ft) were also estimated.[69] On the western coast of Samar, the storm surge was not as significant.[70]
Guiuan in Eastern Samar was the point of Haiyan's first landfall, and was severely affected due to the typhoon's impacts.[71] Nearly all structures in the township suffered at least partial damage, many of which were completely flattened.[72] For several days following Haiyan's first landfall, the damage situation in the fishing town remained unclear due to lack of communication.[73] However, the damage could finally be assessed after Philippine Air Force staff arrived in Guiuan on November 10.[74]
There was widespread devastation from the storm surge in Tacloban City especially in San Jose, with many buildings being destroyed, trees knocked over or broken, and cars piled up.[69] The low-lying areas on the eastern side of Tacloban city were hardest hit, with some areas completely washed away. Flooding also extended for 1 km (0.62 mi) inland on the east coast of the province.[69] City administrator Tecson John Lim stated that roughly 90 percent of the city had been destroyed.[64] Journalists on the ground have described the devastation as, "off the scale, and apocalyptic".[75] Most families in Samar and Leyte lost some family members or relatives; families came in from outlying provinces looking for relatives, especially children, who may have been washed away.[76] The entire first floor of the Tacloban City Convention Center, which was serving as an evacuation shelter, was submerged by storm surge. Many residents in the building were caught off-guard by the fast rising waters and subsequently drowned or were injured in the building.[77] Also there is a cultural view in the country that swimming in a typhoon's storm surge is considered to be a brave way to survive, which mostly contributed to the large death toll.[77]
Although wind speeds were extreme, the major cause of damage and loss of life appears to have been storm surge. The major focus of devastation appears to have been on the east coast of Samar and Leyte, with a particular focus on Tacloban, because of its location between Samar and Leyte, and the large population in low lying areas.[70] Philippine Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas said the scale of the relief operation that was now required was overwhelming, with some places described as a wasteland of mud and debris.[78]
Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, head of a UN disaster assessment co-ordination team, said there was "destruction on a massive scale" in Tacloban. "There are cars thrown like tumbleweed and the streets are strewn with debris. The last time I saw something of this scale was in the aftermath of the [2004] Indian Ocean tsunami."[69] There is little communication in the city, and no mobile phone coverage. Up the east coast of the Leyte there are numerous towns and villages that are completely cut off without any assistance. Large parts of Leyte and Samar are without power and may have no power for a month.[75]
The storm crossed the Visayas region for almost a day, causing widespread flooding. In Cebu and Bohol, struck by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake two weeks before, cities were also severely devastated.[79] During the morning of November 8, media stations across the country were able to broadcast live the destruction of Haiyan. However, before afternoon, all communications on the Visayas region failed. The Presidential Communications Department of President Benigno Aquino III had difficulty contacting DILG Secretary Mar Roxas and Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin in Tacloban City to plan relief.[80] Widespread power interruptions, landslides and flash floods were also reported. Major roads were blocked by trees, and impassable. 453 domestic and international airline flights were canceled. Some airports were also closed on November 8 and 9. Ferries were affected. Relief and rescue efforts were underway by November 9, but some places remained isolated and out of communication due to severe damage.[81]
Typhoon Haiyan reached Hainan Province, where severe damage took place and six people were killed in various incidents.[82] The hardest hit area was Qionghai, where roughly 3,500 people across 20 villages were isolated due to extensive flooding.[83] Direct economic losses in Hainan amounted to ¥4.9 billion (US$803 million).[82] In Guangxi Province to the north, heavy rains up to 380 mm (15 in) fell and wind gusts reached 100 km/h (60 mph).[84] An estimated 1.21 million people were affected, of whom 26,300 were evacuated. Two people died while four others went missing after a car fell off a flooded road into a river near Beihai.[85] Losses throughout Guangxi amounted to ¥275 million (US$45 million).[82][84] Approximately 900 homes and 25,500 hectares of crops were destroyed, while 8,500 homes were damaged. Additionally, an estimated 3 million people were affected by the storm throughout Southern China.[86] A cargo ship broke from its moorings at Sanya on November 8;[87] three members of the crew drowned while four others went missing.[84] One person also went missing off the coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong.[88]
Along the coast of New Taipei, 16 people were swept out to sea by three 8 m (26 ft) waves. After several hours of search and rescue, eight were hospitalized while the other eight drowned. This was considered the largest loss of life from waves in Taiwan in several years.[89]
Haiyan made landfall as a severe tropical storm in Quảng Ninh Province on November 10 and produced high winds and widespread heavy rainfall which affected northern Vietnam.[90] Rainfall totals of up to 461 mm (18.1 in) and wind gusts of up to 147 km/h (91 mph) were recorded.[90] Ten people were killed while they were preparing for Haiyan's landfall, while no one was killed after the system made landfall, however 4 people are missing in Quangninh Province.[90]
By November 11, the provinces of Aklan, Capiz, Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte, Palawan, and Samar, were placed under a state of national calamity, allowing the government to use state funds for relief and rehabilitation and to control prices of basic goods.[91] Additionally, approximately ₱30.6 million (US$700,000) had been allocated in relief assistance by the NDRRMC. Local and national agencies deployed a collective 18,177 personnel, 844 vehicles, 44 seagoing vessels, and 31 aircraft for various operations.[3] CBCP also declared 8 days of mourning for victims of the typhoon on the same date.[92]
World Health Organization Representative in the Philippines Dr Julie Hall noted that while many survivors requiring medical attention in the first week suffer from trauma and fractures, the concern shifts toward chronic conditions as the weeks pass. The WHO coordinated the massive international response to help the Philippine government meet the acute need for healthcare services in the affected areas.[93]
Extreme damage to infrastructure throughout the region posed logistical problems that greatly slowed relief efforts. Though aid was flown into local airports, most of it remained there as roads remained closed.[94] According to estimates on November 13, only 20 percent of the affected population in Tacloban City was receiving aid. With lack of access to clean water, some residents dug up water pipes and boiled water from there in order to survive. Thousands of people sought to evacuate the city via C-130 cargo planes, however, the slow process fueled further aggravation. Reports of escaped prisoners raping women in the city prompted a further urgency to evacuate. One resident was quoted as saying "Tacloban is a dead city."[64] Due to the lack of electricity, planes could only operate during the daylight, further slowing the evacuations. At dawn on November 12, thousands of people broke through fences and rushed planes only to be forced back by police and military personnel. A similar incident occurred later that day as a U.S. cargo plane was landing.[95]
On November 14, a correspondent from the BBC reported Tacloban to be a "war zone," although the situation soon stabilized when the presence of government law enforcement was increased. Safety concerns prompted several relief agencies to back out of the operation, and some United Nations staff were pulled out for safety reasons. A message circulating among the agencies urged them to not go into Tacloban for this reason.[96] On the west coast of Leyte Island, residents in Ormoc were fearing that the focus on Tacloban City would leave them without aid. Though not as hard hit, roughly 90 percent of the city was damaged or destroyed and supplies were running low. Hospitals in the city were either shut down or working at partial capacity, leaving many of the nearly 2,000 injured in the city without medical assistance. In nearby Baybay, lack of assistance fueled anger and incited looting for survival.[97]
In the coastal community Guiuan, which took the full brunt of the typhoon, Mayor Christopher Gonzalez is credited with saving countless lives after he incessantly urged residents to evacuate. He referred to the storm as "delubyo (deluge)," which roughly translates to Armageddon. Of the town's 45,000 residents, 87 died, 931 were injured, and 23 others were listed as missing. U.S. Navy Capt. Russell Hays, a medical officer, estimated that a storm of Haiyan's caliber could have killed as many as 4,500 in Guiuan alone had it not been for the mayor's efforts.[98]
On November 18, the government of the Philippines launched an online portal, called the Foreign Aid Transparency Hub (FaiTH), that provides the public a transparency view of the funds and other aids received by the government from the international community.[99][100]
To lead the management and rehabilitation efforts of the central provinces in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines President Benigno Aquino III appointed Panfilo Lacson as Typhoon Haiyan Rehabilitation Czar.[101]
Typhoon Haiyan knocked over Power Barge 103 of Napocor in Estancia, Iloilo causing an oil spill.[102][103][104][105] As a result of the typhoon, the government is planning to replant mangroves in coastal areas while preserving the remaining ones.[106] Affected residents were allowed to return to their homes by the Department of Health on December 7, 2013 after an air quality test found out that benzene level in affected areas reached near-zero parts per million. Earlier, residents were asked to evacuated affected areas after benzene levels in the area reached unhealthy levels.[107]
Throughout Tacloban City, widespread looting took place in the days following Haiyan's passage. In some instances, relief trucks were attacked and had food stolen in the city. Two of the city's malls and numerous grocery stores were subjected to looting. A fuel depot in the city was guarded by armed police while 200 additional officers were dispatched to assist.[108] Security checkpoints have since been set up all over Tacloban and a curfew was imposed on residents to prevent more attacks.[109] Philippine military forces also prevented members of the New People's Army from ambushing a relief convoy bound for Samar in Matnog, Sorsogon, killing two.[110] President Benigno Aquino III considered declaring martial law in hopes of restoring order in affected areas.[111][112]
Looting intensified as slow recovery efforts forced residents to seek any means necessary to survive. Tacloban city administrator Tecson John Lim stated, "The looting is not criminality. It is self-preservation." The Chicago Tribune reported that some areas were on the brink of anarchy, though Interior Secretary Mar Roxas denied such claims.[64] Further complicating efforts to retain order was the lack of officers reporting for work. In Tacloban, only 100 of the city's 1,300 police personnel reported for duty.[95] In Alangalang, just west of Tacloban, eight people were crushed to death after the walls of a warehouse collapsed during a raid on a government rice stockpile. Approximately 33,000 bags of rice, each weighing 50 kg (110 lb), were stolen. Warehouses were also raided in Jaro and Palo. Throughout the city of Tacloban itself, people began looting from homes as stores had been completely emptied.[64]
Condemnations of slow government action in the relief effort in response to the typhoon mounted days after the storm had passed. Media reports criticized the Aquino administration for apparent lack of preparation and coordination among government agencies in the aid operation.[113][114] Up until November 12, five days after the typhoon struck, survivors continued to struggle with basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter while remote towns in Leyte and Samar were yet to be reached by aid.[115] The Philippine government responded by saying that they have dealt with the tragedy "quite well" but the response had been slow due to the breakdown of the local governance in affected areas where officials and employees, who were usually the first to respond in these events, were victims of the typhoon themselves.[116] Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras said that the national government had to take over despite logistical challenges and assured it is working toward providing aid the quickest way possible to the survivors.[117] The national Government was also criticized for putting the responsibility of handling the dead to the Bureau of Fire instead to the Department of Health. Dr. Racquel Fortun, one of the forensic experts to go to the area three days after the typhoon insisted that handling of the bodies is a health matter and therefore a responsibility of DOH.[118]
The Philippines faced a humanitarian crisis days after the typhoon hit much of the Visayas with 1.9 million homeless and more than 6,000,000 displaced.[119] In Tacloban alone, ninety percent of the structures are either destroyed or damaged while other cities, such as Ormoc, are reporting similar damage.[120] The United Nations fear that the possibility of the spread of disease is high due to the lack of food, water, shelter, and medication. Casualties have been reported as a result of the lack of aid in affected areas and the number of dead is likely to rise.[121]
As a result of the damage in Tacloban and much of Leyte, thousands of people who once lived in the area left and made their way into less affected areas such as Cebu and Manila.[122] Catbalogan reported that their population more than doubled after the typhoon with the influx of refugees into the city.[123] Around 20,000 people have fled to Manila as a result of the storm.[124]
Due to extensive damage and high death toll, PAGASA announced that the name Yolanda would be stricken off the typhoon naming lists.[125][126] PAGASA chose the name Yasmin to replace Yolanda. During their 2014 annual session the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee announced that the name Haiyan would also be retired from its naming lists on January 1, 2015.[127]

On the eve before Haiyan's landfall, digital humanitarian responders through Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team has called upon volunteers to map locations in the Philippines where the supertyphoon may make its landfall. The call has resulted various satellite imagery companies such as DigitalGlobe, CNES-Astrium, and Landsat to release free post-typhoon imagery to disaster-stricken locations;[221] which on the other hand, prompting 1,670 mapping advocates worldwide to take action. This resulted to a record-breaking mapping updates response enabling over a million map updates in only a week after Haiyan's landfall.[222] The contributed mapping data enabled street-level accurate post-disaster maps on various islands in the Visayas region hit by typhoon Haiyan to OpenStreetMap. On the other hand, raw data from OpenStreetMap has been extracted, compiled and has been produced to various products including paper maps and daily-updated GPS-assisted navigation maps[223] which helped various international on-field humanitarian agencies such as the International Red Cross, American Red Cross, International Organization for Migration, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, USAID, to operate on relief and rescue operations accurately.[224][225][226][227]
The United Nations said it was going to increase critical relief operations as a result of the devastation caused by the typhoon. Its Manila office issued a statement that read, "Access remains a key challenge as some areas are still cut off from relief operations. Unknown numbers of survivors do not have basic necessities such as food, water and medicines and remain inaccessible for relief operations, as roads, airports and bridges were destroyed or covered in wreckage."[228] The United Nations also began relief operations by this time; however, the severe damage to infrastructure hampered efforts to distribute supplies.[108] The UN activated the Cluster System, in which groups of humanitarian organizations (UN and non-UN) work to restore health, shelter, nutrition and economic activity.[229]
The World Health Organization, which leads the Health Cluster, the largest one, has developed guidance on donations of medicine and healthcare equipment, so that the Philippines receives supplies appropriate for this emergency. According to WHO, many people suffered cuts, wounds, and broken bones during the disaster and others were injured in flooding that followed the typhoon.[230] Interpol announced that they would send in Interpol officers from Lyon to help local law enforcement identify any of the corpses that are unidentified.[231]
The World Health Organization has spearheaded initiatives among help workers, especially from the Department of Health (Philippines), in extending Psychological First Aid to people in typhoon-affected areas. WHO Representative in the country Dr Julie Hall foresees long-lasting effects from the typhoon. She calls for increased preparedness to give support to families and communities for the long-term, citing the need for more trained field workers.[232]
American band Journey donated $350,000 to help relief efforts in the Philippines, and its lead singer had a message for his homeland: "Don't Stop Believin'". Arnel Pineda (the band's Filipino vocalist) and the rest of the band announced the donation on November 15, 2013. It will go to the United Nations World Food Programme, which is providing Filipinos with food assistance. The donation should provide 1.4 million meals.[233] Ikea, Walmart, Samsung, and HSBC are among those taking advantage of the event to donate to those in need.[234][235] Northwestern Mutual announced they will donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross.[236] The Coca-Cola Company says they have donated $2.5 million of their advertising budget to the relief efforts as of November 25.[237] By mid-December FIFA donated $1 million.[238] DHL deployed its Asia Pacific Disaster Response Team to the disaster areas to provide on-the-ground logistics support to assist with the relief effort in the aftermath of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan. Three rotating teams made up of volunteer employees from the Asia Pacific region were based at the Mactan Cebu Airport on Cebu island, providing support and assistance to the country's most affected areas west of Leyte Island, including Guiuan, Roxas, and Tacloban city.[239]
Major League Baseball donated $200,000 to UNICEF and the American Red Cross, with Commissioner Bud Selig encouraging fans to donate to the organizations.[240] UNICEF delivered portable toilets and hygiene supplies to the region and also appealed for $34 million to help the four million children affected.[241] The American Red Cross announced that they collected $11 million in donations for the Philippines Relief Fund.[242] Mercy Corps dispatched a "emergency response" team to help with humanitarian efforts.[243] MAP International launched medical relief efforts providing over $10 million in medicines and supplies to the Philippines.
Among the NGO responses, among the most comprehensive disaster response came from the Taiwan-based "Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation"., which organized a large-scale cash-for-work program in Tacloban from Nov 20 to Dec 8 with up to 31,000 participants per day, totaling nearly 300,000 day shifts. This operation not only helped clean out the thousands of tons of debris covering the city, but also kick-started the local economy. Tzu Chi also contributed emergency cash aid of 8000, 12000 or 15000 pesos depending on family size for over 60,000 families in the affected areas of Tacloban, Ormoc, Palo, Tanauan and Tunga, and has been providing free clinics, hot meals, and temporary class rooms for over 15 schools in the area. Doctors Without Borders is sending 200 tons of aid.[219][244] The Center for Disaster Philanthropy collaborated with more than 25 donors to award grants focused on maternal health, including projects aimed at ensuring the safe birth and delivery of Haiyan-affected women and their newborns.[245] The International Society for Krishna Consciousness's Food For Life Global, the world's largest vegan food relief organisation, raised money and provided vegan meals in the Philippines to Typhoon Haiyan survivors.[246][247] Other NGOs run by faith-based organisations that raised money and/or aided in the disaster relief efforts of Typhoon Haiyan included Catholic Relief Services,[248] Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB),[248] Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA),[248] LDS Philanthropies,[249] American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (AJJDC),[248] Samaritan's Purse,[248] Salvation Army,[248] Christian Children's Fund of Canada,[248] MAP International and World Vision.[248]
The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), the largest indigenous Christian church based in the Philippines held a series of massive relief distributions including medical and dental missions to the affected population of the storm to different parts of Visayas.[250] The humanitarian mission was done under the "Lingap sa Mamamayan" (Aid for Humanity) project in cooperation with the Felix Y. Manalo (FYM) Foundation Inc., the INC's charitable arm.[251][252]
Celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham,[253] Stephen Colbert,[254] Kim Kardashian,[255] David Guetta,[256] and The X Factor contributed to the fundraising.[257] On November 26, iTunes released a compilation album entitled Songs for the Philippines featuring different artists, including Katy Perry, Madonna, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles.[258] All proceeds will go to the Philippine Red Cross.[258] One Republic donated $100,000 on November 30, 2013.[259] Other celebrities that offered their support included Linkin Park, The Offspring,[260] Alicia Keys,[261] and Justin Bieber.[262]
On the day of his death, actor Paul Walker attended a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide, for the victims of the typhoon that was held right before his accident.[263]
On March 11, 2014, a benefit concert called The Pinoy Relief Benefit Concert was held at Madison Square Garden in New York, City. Jennifer Hudson, Pentatonix, A Great Big World, Plain White T's, Jessica Sanchez, Charice and REO Brothers performed. Special guests also included Dr. Oz, Dante Basco, Bobby Lopez, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Apl.de.ap. 100% of proceeds raised directly went to the Typhoon Haiyan survivors.[264] Pinoy Relief was created to help survivors and focus on three specific areas: restoring livelihoods, building classrooms and providing shelter in partnership with local NGOs, Habitat for Humanity Philippines and Operation Blessing Philippines.[265]
On December 17, 2013, NetHope deployed a team to Tacloban equipped with a UAV system from Sky-Watch [1]. The team was sent there to aid in the damage assessment of the Tacloban airport and aid in the search for missing persons.[266]
The 2014 Basketball Marathon, a successful attempt to break the Guinness World Records on the longest basketball game, took place as a fund-raising event for new houses for the victims of the typhoon.
The aid contributions of China and the United States were given focus with regards to their involvement in the politics of the Philippines.[267] Apart from having the two largest economies in the world, both countries are involved in a complex relationship with the island country. China is currently disputing the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea with the Philippines while the United States used to be an occupying power and currently has a mutual defense treaty with the islands.[268]
China was initially criticized for its meager contribution of US $100,000 cash each from the government and the Chinese Red Cross to the typhoon victims, which led to commentary about its disputes with the Philippines.[269] Earlier in 2013, the Philippines sued China over the nine-dotted line. Commentators attribute this low amount to China's intentions to isolate the Philippines while strengthening its ties with the rest of Southeast Asia.[270] The move had mixed reactions from the public of China with some commending its decision while others, such as The Global Times, insisted that China should be a responsible power. China later increased its contributions by US$1.64 million in supplies [142][271] and sent its naval hospital ship Peace Ark for disaster relief."[143]
The contributions of the United States was in contrast to that of China. It gave the Philippines an amount of US$51.9 million worth of aid apart and deployed the United States Marines, United States Navy and United States Air Force in order to assist with the humanitarian operations.[272] This was seen by observers as part of the Asia pivot that the United States government had previously announced. The Philippine government had been discussing with the U.S. plans regarding the deployment of U.S. military troops within the country. Aid contributions of the U.S. was seen as a sign of goodwill in order to further strengthen relations.[273]
Following Typhoon Haiyan's landfall in Vietnam, widespread search and rescue missions took place in the affected provinces. Damage assessments were also conducted in 13 provinces to determine what aid was needed. The IFRC began distribution of relief supplies and assisted residents in returning home by November 12. Operations regarding the aftermath of Typhoon Wutip were temporarily suspended due to Haiyan.[58]
A detailed analysis of Typhoon Haiyan and its destruction in the Philippines was featured in a documentary called Megastorm: World's Biggest Typhoon. It aired on December 30, 2013 on Discovery Channel.[274]

New York personal injury and workers compensation attorney, David Perecman, is speaking out against the insurance companies and their legal battles against the injured
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2009 -- One of New York's best personal injury attorneys, David Perecman, is helping the public understand their rights against insurance companies and workers compensation benefits. Attorneys know the battle to breathe with damaged lungs pales in comparison to Daniel Arrigo's ongoing struggle with Zurich North America. The giant insurance carrier is putting up an aggressive legal fight to block the 53-year-old construction worker, and father of three, from collecting the much-needed workers compensation benefits he says are his due.
Arrigo, a 9/11 responder diagnosed with severe lung disease from exposure to dust and toxic fumes he inhaled during the four-month clean-up at Ground Zero, is caught between the tangled web of rules and regulations of a slow-moving New York State Workers Compensation Board and the wily tactics of Zurich's attorneys who are skilled at fighting the claims of 9/11 workers.
"Mr. Arrigo's situation is indicative of the shortcomings inherent in the whole system in this state," said David Perecman, attorney at a New York personal injury and worker's compensation law firm and a co-chair of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association's Labor Law Committee.
"Even when insurance companies agree that there is a legitimate injury," Perecman explained

"I love the elegant design with flowers that appear almost hand-painted in water colors on both sides and the texture of the paper is very nice. The teal color is my favorite and appropriate for either male or female receivers."
"Loved these 3x5 cards. Were designed as Thank You cards but I was able to change the wording to say "In Memory Of" and this personalized it, and it was everything I wanted to send out to people after my mother passed. Thank you so much for the great card, the quality was excellent."
"I really liked these thank you notes because they were printed on fabulous paper and the colors were exactly what I wanted! My notes to my friends will be given in style!"
"This card is so cute, I bought it to use as thank you cards for my baby. It's the perfect size to express gratitude, but not too big to where you would have to write a lot larger to fill up the card ;) I will definitely re-order these when I run out, they're perfect!"
"I have been using Tiny Prints for my Christmas cards for several years now and have also had Thank You and Memorial Cards done. I like the classic templates, fonts and colors. Their products are consistently high quality and the customer service is exceptional. Tiny Prints is my "go to" for creating special cards and messages for special occasions."

A rapid compatibility analysis of potential offshore sand sources for beaches of the Santa Barbara Littoral Cell
- By:
- N. Mustain, G. Griggs, P.L. Barnard
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
The beaches of the Santa Barbara Littoral Cell, which are narrow as a result of either natural and/or anthropogenic factors, may benefit from nourishment. Sand compatibility is fundamental to beach nourishment success and grain size is the parameter often used to evaluate equivalence. Only after understanding which sand sizes naturally compose beaches in a specific cell, especially the smallest size that remains on the beach, can the potential compatibility of source areas, such as offshore borrow sites, be accurately assessed. This study examines sediments on the beach and in the nearshore (5-20m depth) for the entire Santa Barbara Littoral Cell east of Point Conception. A digital bed sediment camera, the Eyeball??, and spatial autocorrelation technique were used to determine sediment grain size. Here we report on whether nearshore sediments are comparable and compatible with beach sands of the Santa Barbara Littoral Cell. ?? 2007 ASCE.Additional Publication Details

I have had lots of issues with contacts, corneal ulcers, etc, so I try to be pretty responsible about getting my eyes checked out. I hadn't been to an opthamalogist in about 2 years before this appt. My contact prescription barely changed and he seemed very confused that I was in his office. I only saw the doctor for 5 minutes, and during those 5 minutes, he more or less told me that I didnt need to come in more often than every 2-4 years. I needed new contacts, which I had always ordered through my opthamologist in the past. The doctors here told me to call 1-800-contacts.
Dr. Parver really has no bedside manner. He was rushing through the entire appointment. Do not go to this guy. Then he asked if I had any questions at the end - when he clearly had no interest in answering any questions and his foot was basically out the door!
I felt really bad after visiting this doctor...I dont know what to think about this office. First the technician could not apply the eye drops properly, he tried three times, then he asked for help to another tech to measure my eye pressure. When I asked to the doctor if I could were contact lens he said to me that contact will be be the best choice for me, all I need to do is get to the store and tell them that I came from his office and show my prescripcion, but this did no indicate anything about contac lens...So I could not get my contact lens today.
He,s very professional, direct and explains everything in detail.
Very comfortable visit, feel well taken care of
He took the time to explain things, and responded to all my (numerous) questions without any indication of impatience.
Dr. David Parver and his support staff were excellent, I was very impress with the way everyone work together to help me with my problem.
I would recommend Dr. Parver. Diaganosed my eye problem quickly, and actually got me in to see another specialist right away.

Freshman volleyball starts season at 3-0
The Tonganoxie freshman volleyball team started the season with a sweep at Mill Valley last Thursday.
The squad was the first Chieftain team to play this season. It defeated Basehor-Linwood 15-4, 15-1; De Soto 15-1, 15-6; and Mill Valley 10-15, 15-13, 15-6.
Freshman coach LeAnn Bond was pleased with the first wins.
"I was really happy with how hard they played," Bond said. "They rarely let the ball touch the ground."
The Chieftains will compete next Thursday at Immaculata against Piper and Immaculata.
Matches start at 5 p.m.

Our donor said that we can try once. Yes, only once. Did you know that the average rate of getting pregnant each month is 16%-18%.? It's the cheapest option, but its a can of worms that might not be worth opening. An anonymous donor is still $1200 for the first month and $950 for every month there after. No insurance won't cover it!
On the other hand we can't celebrate too much, because starting at $16,000 we can begin an adoption. Well actually it's more than that because out shitty ass apartment won't qualify. The building is not insulated well and the cigarette smoke from the first floor is creeping up through the floors. Our place always smells including our clothes. So we need money to rent a new place and deep clean out 3 month old couch. Our lease is up in July, that's half of 2015 gone by then.
Don't feel sorry for us yet!
The major factor in all this is the money. We have found grants to apply for with many having the home study completed as the first requirement. For those that don't know, home studies costs $3000-$6000, depending on the agency. So do we wait until July to start the home study so that we are in a better apartment, or do we start the process while being in the current place? Will they deny us because of the smoke smell? Technically we can't start anything until we get $3000....Ugh! One grant we qualify for isn't rewarded until October. More time...
My Husband and I have been together for 10 years and trying to get pregnant for 4 years.
We are going to withdraw from our couple's group. Everyone has either just given birth in the last 3 months or is pregnant. We have other newly pregnant friends too. Nothing shouts fun like sitting around listening to birth stories, diaper comparisons and the funniest and newest thing the baby did. There's definitely something in the water and we can't seem to get any of it. It's emotionally more than we can bare right now. I would love to not have to see another pregnant woman until I have my own child. But life isn't done teasing us.
We are lost, angry and too poor to afford to progress.
