…Kill 5 suspected kidnappers in Bauchi
Troops of the Nigerian Army on patrol, arrested a wanted Boko Haram member in Northern Borno, even as members of the vigilante arrested three women, suspected to be wives of wanted terrorists in a market. Meanwhile five (5) suspected kidnappers operating in Bauchi were killed by troops in Ningi local government area of the state.
A statement issued by the spokesman of the Army Col. Sani Usman named the suspect as Adamu Nuhu, said the Boko Haram member was arrested following tip off by some good Nigerians when he was spotted, "Kwaya Kusar Local Government Area, northern Borno State", and is being interrogated.
Usman said the arrested women are also suspected to have come to the market to acquire supplies for their wanted husbands. It reads in part, "about 5.43pm yesterday 3 women suspected to be spouses of wanted Boko Haram terrorists and logistics suppliers were arrested at Miringa market by vigilante members in the town. They however, handed them to troops and they also being investigated."
In another development on Sunday, "troops of 33 Brigade Nigerian Army deployed at Forward Operation Base (FOB) Ningi, on routine patrol, came across suspected kidnappers at Dutsen Makurd, Ningi Local Government Area.
"The suspected kidnappers opened fire on the troops that led to exchange of gunfire between both at the end which 5 kidnappers were killed. The patrol team recovered 3 Dane guns and other dangerous weapons from the suspects." It read.

The protein, collagen, is the chief constituent of the true skin or corium and it is also largely present in the organic matter of bones, cartilage and tendons. It is present in hide as a mass of interwoven fibres, each fibre being made up of smaller fibres, of microscopic dimensions, known as fibrils. Upon heating with water to 70° collagen slowly passes into gelatin, the rate of change being greatly increased if the collagen is first swollen in a suitable acid or alkaline medium. The most commonly used swelling medium is a suspension of lime, the lime acting both as a plumping and unhairing agent.

Memory foam is a pressure sensitive or temperature sensitive polyurethane foam that has the unique ability to compress, and then slowly come back to its original shape. Thus this foam does not place nearly the same resistance on the joints as spring, air, or other materials that bounce back much more rapidly. It is designed to remember the shape of one's body, which will support people for a good night's sleep. It is also actually a very dense material by nature. For instance, a full size 3 inch thick 5 lbs. density mattress pad will weigh around 35 lbs.
Memory mattress foam is mostly advertised as a « space-age polymer. » That's mostly because it was developed by a Swedish company in order to address problems that NASA was having with cushioning astronauts. They needed a reliable way that would protect the body from high G-forces. These kinds of mattresses is not going to be for everyone, but most people that try it end up enjoying it and consider it an upgrade.
This special foam is one of the most preferred material in mattress designs, due to the facilitated ergonomics or induced, remedial sleeping techniques via reduced fatigue and discomfort. It is an especially good choice for any college student. College students will often sleep on beds that are issued by their school, and these beds are not always the most supportive or healthy sleep surfaces.
It is inevitably confusing when faced with the ordeal of having to choose a new watch if you do not know the difference between the types of movement and which is best.
This article aims to give a brief overview of the variety of different watch movements available and you will be likely to encounter.
Quartz Movement
A quartz watch is a watch that uses an electronic pendulum that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz timepieces are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic counts the cycles of this signal and provides a numeric time display, usually in units of hours, minutes, and seconds. Quartz timekeepers are the world's most widely used timekeeping technology, used in most clocks and watches, as well as computers and other appliances that keep time.

See the 'Yarra Catchment' page for a detailed description of the catchment.
The Report Card for the Yarra catchment has generated water quality index scores for the period July 2012 to June 2013. These scores are generated using a combination of standard indicators: nutrients, water clarity (turbidity), dissolved oxygen, salinity (conductivity), pH and metals.
These are sampled monthly across 48 sites as part of catchment monitoring programs.
The following section 'Changes over time' compares these annual index scores and indicators with the catchment's scores from 2000.
Results can also be compared to other catchments in the section below 'Compared to other catchments'.
Site-specific details about indicators can be found via the site lists or can be accessed directly from the map.
Summary Table: The table below shows area-weighted distribution of site scores based on subcatchments. Scores are averaged in subcatchments with multiple sites. See the scoring method for more information.
Very Good
Typically forested areas in the upper catchment
Typically rural areas on the urban fringe in the mid-catchment
Mostly the Yarra River in the mid-catchment
Mostly the Yarra River in the lower urbanised catchment
Very Poor
Mostly small tributaries in the lower urbanised catchment
The routine monthly monitoring across 48 sites accounts for 100% of the catchment.
Overall, in the Yarra catchment 52 per cent of the waterway monitoring sites achieved a 'Fair&lrsquo; to 'Very Good rating'.
Most of the waterway sites that rated as 'Good' drain catchments that are well forested and are close to their natural state. The O'Shannassy River monitoring site located within a closed catchment was the only site that scored 'Very Good'.
As the catchment becomes more developed toward the city, water quality scores deteriorate as waterways are increasingly impacted by human activity. Consequently, 48 per cent of the middle and lower Yarra catchment received a 'Poor' or 'Very Poor' water quality rating. The mainstream Yarra River scored 'Good' near Warrandyte but deteriorated on it's course downstream and was rated 'Poor' at Kew.
In the lower urban parts of the catchment, the low scores are generally a result of high nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and low water clarity, which commonly originate in the runoff from houses, industrial and commercial areas and roads. Dissolved oxygen levels were also low at times in the urban area, particularly during the summer months when flows are low and water temperature is high.
Urban waterways tend to have high metal concentrations as often the whole catchment area is urbanised. Metals are commonly found in the stormwater runoff from roads and industrial areas. Gardiners Creek is an example of an urban site with regularly high metal levels where concentrations of copper and zinc frequently exceed guideline levels. Tyre rubber is a widespread source of zinc in urban areas where it is deposited on road surfaces and then washed into waterways.
The Report Card's water quality index is based on monthly sampling which can mean short-lived environmental and weather events that can impact water quality are not always captured. This section highlights events for the 2012-13 time period.
During 2012-13 there were four separate environmental flow releases down the Yarra River from Melbourne's water storages. This contributed to both improved water quality along the Yarra River and improved waterway habitat for plants and animals.
Melbourne Water also delivered the largest environmental flow release ever for the Yarra River in May 2013. The release aimed to improve fish populations and the quality of the water by flushing fine sediment and organic material from the river bed, thereby maintaining habitat for bugs and fish life and supporting native vegetation. For further information see the Melbourne Water media release.
Generally, the Yarra catchment's water quality has improved significantly since the 1970s, and despite increased pressure from continued urbanisation and population growth it has demonstrated an overall improvement over the over the past 13 years.
This improvement is a positive measure in light of the many urban pressures the lower and middle Yarra catchments experience, which includes the landscape's growing urbanisation. Water quality has also generally improved since the drought broke in 2010.
The 'Actions' section below outlines projects and initiatives that will contribute toward addressing the issues outlined above.
What's happened?
Driven by the key water quality issues identified for the region, major projects were implemented to improve waterway health in the Yarra catchment and included the following initiatives:
For more information about projects and works in the Yarra catchment in 2012-13, please see the Waterways Local Updates.
What's planned?
A number of priority areas and actions have been identified in the upper, middle and lower Yarra catchments to build on existing projects and initiatives. These include:
For more information on actions planned for the Yarra catchment to improve the health of rivers and creeks, please see the Healthy Waterways Strategy.
The following figures show a comparison of scores for each identified water quality indicator in the catchments and Port Phillip Bay.

Medical Negligence Compensation
Whilst in this country we generally have a high standard of medical care, mistakes do happen. Medical negligence is any breach in the standard of care given to a patient by their doctor, dentist, nurse or other medical professional that results in the injury of a patient.
Medical Negligence Claims Leeds
As you can imagine, medical negligence can take place in a number of ways including:
• Injuries to mother or child during child birth
• Dental injuries
• Mis-diagnoses
• Surgical errors
• Incorrect or inappropriate medical treatment
Medical negligence injuries are important matters because the result can be serious, if not fatal. Therefore, medical professionals have a duty of care towards the health and safety of their patients and any breach of that duty could result in a compensation claim.
The amount of compensation will of course vary depending on the seriousness of the injury sustained. It could be a substantial amount and will include compensation for the negligence (the pain and suffering) and compensation for future treatment / medical expenses, travel expenses, loss of income, care costs, alterations to the patients home and so on. This compensation will usually be paid out by the medical professional's establishment's (e.g. the hospital's) insurance company.
Make a Claim for Medical Negligence
In order to make a claim for compensation you should consult a medical negligence solicitor** in Leeds within three years of you sustaining the injury and in the case of a child, within three years of their 18th birthday. Any claims brought outside of this time will be barred unless you have good reason for the delay.
You should always use an experienced medical negligence solicitor** to act on your behalf as medical negligence cases can be lengthy and complex. Medical negligence solicitors** Leeds will work on your case on a no win no fee* basis and therefore brining a claim will cost you nothing. If you are successful under a no win no fee* claim, you will still receive all of your compensation, whilst your legal fees will be paid by the negligent party's insurance company.

The planned overhaul of China's ministries is the biggest in recent years
China unveiled plans on Tuesday for the biggest shakeup of government in at least a decade, including the merger of its banking and insurance regulators to better handle financial risks as leaders look to address concerns over a growing debt pile.
The sweeping changes were presented to the National People's Congress two days after President Xi Jinping tightened his grip on power with the legislature's approval of constitutional amendments abolishing presidential term limits and expanding the authority of the Communist Party over the country's affairs.
State Councilor Wang Yong told delegates of the parliamentary session underway in Beijing that the bureaucratic shuffle was needed to make government more effective and efficient.
The reforms "eliminate systematic and institutional deficiencies that have prevented the market from carrying out a decisive role in resource allocation," Wang said.
At the top of the reform list is the government's proposed change combining the insurance and banking regulators into one agency, according to the proposal introduced at the annual session of the rubber-stamp parliament.
The new regulator will be capable of "holding the bottom line to prevent systematic financial risk", the parliament document says.
The responsibilities of the two separate regulators currently overlap in some areas, leaving regulatory roles unclear, the document says.
"China's whole regulatory system will change directions, from sector oversight to oversight of specific financial activities," said Betty Wang an economist at ANZ Bank.
"It will promote coordination and information sharing between different regulators," she said.
The two merged regulators will hand off duties such as proposing laws to the People's Bank of China in a sign that the central bank is beefing up its regulatory role.
China is in the midst of a battle against financial risk, as credit in the world's second largest economy has exploded since the financial crisis a decade ago.
Financial regulators have cracked down on major companies -- even taking over Anbang Insurance this year -- to get a handle on building risk and unwieldy debt that some analysts worry pose a serious threat to China's financial stability.
- 'Revolutionary' reforms -
Liu He, President Xi Jinping's top economic advisor, is overseeing that battle on financial risk and praised the reforms as "revolutionary" in an editorial published in the Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily on Tuesday.
"We should understand the necessity of promoting this deep transformation," Liu wrote of the reforms.
Analysts applauded the moves.
"The government is taking steps in the right direction for reining financial risks and debt deleveraging," Tao Dong, vice chairman for Greater China at Credit Suisse Private Banking in Hong Kong, told Bloomberg.
China is also establishing a national market supervisory management bureau to ensure a "fair competition in the market".
The new bureau will bring together a number of separate departments under one roof, regulating everything from businesses to quality supervision to food and drug safety, according to the document.
The proposed changes put forth in the document are expected to be approved by the National People's Congress legislature, which ends its session next Tuesday.
The draft also includes a new immigration bureau and changes to the tax system.
In total, China will have 26 ministries and commissions when the changes are formally approved.

Frankly, portobello mushrooms are not my favorite, I often find them much more tough and dry than most mushrooms, maybe because we consume them at an older age than most other mushrooms. However, when portobellos are allowed to braise slowly with onions, fresh herbs and garlic, they become very flavorful and quite delicious. Portobellos, conversely portabellas, are, in fact, a mature variation of Agaricus bisporus, the common white or brown mushroom native to Europe and North America, which is known by many different names depending upon their coloring, age and location. Braising the mushroom cap on top of the onion gill side up, lets the onion caramelize and the mushroom to braise in its own juices, creating a rich and hearty dish. They are lovely served with greens, asparagus and salad.
4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
1 small onion, sliced into 4 ¼" thick rounds
4 cloves garlic, pressed or finely chopped
4 sprigs rosemary
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1. Coat the bottom of a large skillet or shallow pan with olive oil and arrange the onion rounds so they are evenly spaced in the skillet or pan. Place the portobello mushroom caps on top of the onion rounds, gill side up. Generously season the mushrooms and place a clove of garlic and sprig of rosemary on each mushroom cap.
2. Turn the heat on to medium-low, cover the mushrooms and braise until tender, 15-20 minutes. Occasionally check the heat, to make sure the onions are not burning, and reduce as necessary. Once the mushrooms are fully cooked and tender, remove from heat and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
3. Serve the portobello mushrooms warm, along with the cooked onions and juices from the pan, season to taste with salt and pepper.

I am a stay at home mom of three beautiful children. All three births were dramatically different.
The first was an emergency C-Section. I do believe that C-Sections are done far too often today but the one I had was required. In fact they waited too long to do it and thus my daughter suffered later from developmental delays. She was not breathing and had no heartbeat when she was born.
The hospital delayed my C-Section because they didn't want to call in another OB. I had to wait for another woman to have hers done first. Shelby was born at seven pounds twelve ounces. I contracted a severe life threatening infection in the uterus that nearly resulted in a hysterectomy.
My second pregnancy was a VBAC using every available drug. After allowing me to go three and a half weeks overdue because he didn't agree with the time that I said I got pregnant he finally scheduled an induction. I knew when I got pregnant because there was only one time we had unprotected sex. However since doctors believe that conception can only occur during a 48 hour period he would not consider what I told him. Apparently he was there in the bedroom and I was out having coffee.
Ironically I went into labor the night before I was scheduled to be induced. I showed up at the hospital in labor a few hours before I was scheduled for induction. But you see an induction was scheduled so they did it even though I was already in strong progressive labor. I knew nothing about pitocin so this did not concern me. Like so many women I just believed that they knew what was best for me. Pitocin is bad. I believe that it should be banned except in cases where it is seriously medically required and never because the end of someone's shift is coming soon.
As soon as the pitocin was started the pain got unbearable. Still I did not want meds yet. Soon though the nurses started suggesting I take it telling me all the reasons why it would be a good idea. They even told me that it would be better for my baby. Again being ignorant of the truth I assumed they knew best. So in went the stadol.
The first time they gave it to me it was helpful. My muscles relaxed so the pain eased some. But they kept pumping it in. The end result was no reduction in pain and a lot of drugged up confusion and fear. Finally when I was having a contraction which was the only time I was really conscious I said loudly and forcefully EP-I-DUR-AL. So they came and gave me one. I was very relieved and when the stadol wore off I was much happier. But I only got the epidural 30 minutes before my nine pound twelve ounce baby girl was born. The doctor was very surprised at her size since I had gained thirty pounds and looked small. I was not surprised.
In the end I had a baby that was very grumpy groggy and could not nurse effectively. Also I got an infection both in the urinary tract and near the cervix along with a fourth degree episiotomy.
Then my third. It went much better. I made it clear that I wanted to avoid an induction. Once again my doctor disagreed with me over the time of conception. So when his due date came and went he scheduled an induction. However this time he was going to try other methods before considering pitocin. His due date was the eighth. Mine was the fourteenth. He scheduled the induction for the sixteenth though he had wanted to do it sooner. I told him I was going to be in labor by then. On the fourteenth I went into labor. I continued to labor until the night I was supposed to be induced. I was having regular uncomfortable contractions. But they were no where near as painful as they had been with the last labor so I figured I wasn't getting far with them. So I went to the hospital, they put me on the monitors, and he came in to do the cervical. However when he checked me first he found I was dilated to five. I was ecstatic. He did nothing to induce and my body did its job just like I had told him it would.
I went through that labor without meds. It was much better that way. The only time I lost control was when I had to push. I was completely dilated but after two pushes the contractions stopped. They then laid me flat on my back and pushed my legs so far back my butt was in the air. Can't imagine why the contractions stopped. Then they screamed and yelled at me to push. And finally after a moment of screaming back at them to leave me alone I did push. I pushed out another nine-pound baby semi upside down and with no contractions.
I am not really trying to complain only to demonstrate that I have had a wide variety of birth experiences. I would like to have another baby someday. If I do they will either do it my way or I will do it at home. I would rather give birth at the hospital because I live thirty minutes away from the nearest one and I prefer to have the safety net. However I already have a birth plan now and if they will not let me give birth to my baby in the way that is comfortable to me I will find an alternative way to get the experience that I want.

When someone posts a question as to how to solve a problem (Norton, Internet Explorer, etc), telling them to use a different program is NOT a valid solution.
Because YOU have a problem (be it personal or not) with a given program is no justification to have everyone else dump theirs.
If the management of these forums adopted these suggestions, we'd have a LOT less members.
Let's try to help, not hinder and crap threads with useless drivel.
This is not to suggest one can't offer a real solution such as a member looking to get tabbed browsing (IE can't do that) and you offer an alternative browser. This is to stop the simple "get rid of that mess" with no real helpful suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

Refinancing your auto is one way that people are able to survive in hard economic times. Through refinancing, a consumer can lower their interest rate and make their monthly payments lower, sometimes at a significantly lower rate. However, with this being said, the consumer needs to make sure to go with a legitimate auto refinance or auto finance company. There are many companies out there who collect your information and then outsource it immediately to another company – they sell your information because they are not a licensed lending company. Other companies are only able to provide one car loan offer, which limits your chances of finding the best deal.
One of the best places to find an auto refinance loan is through myAutoloan.com, an online source. They are able to take your information and instantly offer you four refinance offers, which is a much higher amount than other lenders. In addition, the better your credit score the more offers you will get. However, even if you have less than good credit, this company can guarantee that you get at least four offers.
When utilizing this company, you can walk into a dealership with a check and have more power when it comes to negotiating the price of the automobile you are interested in. In addition, you will not have to deal with the dealership on getting a loan that usually offers a much higher interest rate.
myAutoloan.com is an online lending platform and a licensed lending company, which means you can find out just how much you can qualify for with a new loan or how much you can refinance when it is convenient for you. This is a huge plus as no consumer wants to take time out of their busy schedule to go from lender to lender to find what they consider is a fair offer. That's one reason why online refinancing loan companies are growing in popularity. Many people have concerns dealing with security on these sites, which is a legitimate concern. However, myAutoloan.com is a secure site and they don't sell your information to unscrupulous or no name companies. It's also worthy to consider that it is accredited by the Better Business Bureau. This means that consumers can rest assure that they are dealing with a reputable company.
If you are in the process of trying to find refinancing for an existing auto loan, or even are considering buying another vehicle and looking for financing, myAutoloan.com can be a great way to make sure that you are finding the best possible auto refinance loan with the best terms available.

The presence of dangerous radioactive particles has been confirmed also in the Czech Republic.
Air quality stations across the continent detected traces of radioactive Iodine-131 in January – but scientists are yet to work out where the particles came from.
The presence of dangerous radioactive particles have been detected also in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain.
It is difficult to pinpoint where the radioactive material came from, but it's possible that the particles could have come from an incident at a nuclear reactor.
Iodine-131 can can contaminate food and after it is swallowed it accumulates in the thyroid.
Authorities have not raised any health alarm after detecting the particles, claiming that the risk is very low.

"Thank you so much ACE!"
Through complete laziness, sadly not lack of knowledge, I didn't back up the way I should have. Pretty bad given I am a photographer who sells my work and depend on all my files. When my largest external hard wouldn't connect, with all of my newest image files, I was beyond heartbroken, I was freaked out. I found ACE Data Recovery in my research and I am so happy I did. Within days, they reviewed my hard drive, figured out what was wrong and restored EVERYTHING, in perfect working order as far as I can see. Everyone there was wonderful to work with and were patient in explaining what was wrong. It was an expensive lesson to learn (I hope to never have to use them again) but it was worth every penny and I would recommend them to anyone.Tracey S. Rated 5.0 on 8/29/2016

European facts and the Global status report on road safety 2015
By: Josephine Jackisch, Dinesh Sethi, Francesco Mitis, Tomasz Szymañski and Ian Arra
2015, iv + 15 pages
In developing countries: CHF 10.50/US$ 12.60
Order no. 13400166
In 2013, almost 85 000 people died from road-traffic injuries in the WHO European Region. Although the regional mortality rate is the lowest among WHO regions (9.3 deaths per 100 000 population), the rates of road traffic deaths vary widely in between European countries. More systematic efforts are needed if the global target of a 50% reduction in road crash deaths is to be achieved by 2020.
This publication assesses countries' laws and practices on key risk factors – such as regulating speed appropriate to road type, drink–driving, and use of seat belts, motorcycle helmets and child restraints – for their effectiveness in reducing the risk injury. The assessment shows that many countries need to strengthen their road safety legislation and its enforcement to protect their populations, improve road users' behaviour and reduce the number of crashes. For example, while comprehensive laws on seat belts in line with best practice cover 95% of the Region's population, laws for speed adequately protect only 47%; the corresponding figures for use of helmets, against drink–driving and for use of child restraints are 45%, 33% and 71%, respectively. Much can be gained from improving the safety of vehicles, improving road infrastructure and promoting sustainable, physically active forms of mobility as alternatives to car use. Concerted policy efforts with safe systems approaches are needed to protect all road users in the Region.

Open mornings at Ditcham Park School – Visitors are always welcome
Although prospective parents can make an appointment to visit the school at any time in the academic year during normal school hours, we are also open to visitors and prospective parents on two Saturday mornings from 10am – 1pm each year in October and May.
On these Open Mornings, all areas of the school and every Department and classroom is accessible to our guests. Although visitors can wander at will, guided tours given by pupils are also available, and there are refreshments as well as a special programme of events organised for the morning.

Open Mornings at Ditcham Park School provide you with an ideal opportunity to visit the school and meet pupils, staff, governors and other parents.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Ditcham Park School.

2010 Winter Games: Previous Winter Games ▪ Next Winter Games
Host City: Vancouver, Canada
Date Started: February 13, 2010
Date Finished: February 13, 2010
Events: 10
Participants: 204 (105 men and 99 women) from 37 countries
Youngest Participant: Victor Pînzaru (18 years, 4 days)
Oldest Participant: Thanasis Tsakiris (45 years, 34 days)
Most Medals (Athlete): Emil Hegle Svendsen and Magdalena Neuner (3 medals)
Most Medals (Country): France (6 medals)
The biathlon events of the 2010 Winter Olympics were held, like the cross-country skiing and ski jumping, at the Whistler Olympic Park which is 125 km away from Vancouver. The schedule of events remained unchanged from 2006, the first time this had been the case for four Olympics.
Since Torino a doping scandal had tarnished the reputation of the Russian team.
Five team members including Olympic champion [Albina Akhatova] and world champions Ekaterina Iourieva and Dmitri Yaroshenko were caught up in a case which International Biathlon Union president Anders Besseberg said revealed âsystematic doping on a large scale in one of the strongest teams of the world.â
One of the main interests in the sport was whether [Ole Einar Bjørndalen] of Norway could add to his tally of medals and despite early set backs he managed to add a gold and silver to his previous collection of 9 Olympic medals.
The menâs events at Whistler were a mixture of the predictable and the surprising.
The gold medals won by [Emil Hegle Svendsen] and [Yevgeny Ustyugov] were taken by men who had shown excellent form in races prior to the Games. Those won by [Vincent Jay] and [Bjorn Ferry] were not so easily predicted.
After the shock victory of [Anastasia Kuzmina] of Slovakia in the sprint event the more traditional biathlon nations proceeded to win the other races. Star of the Games was [Magdalena Neuner] who won 2 golds and a silver despite opting out of the relay. Despite the loss of some of their top biathletes to doping bans the Russian women were victorious in the relay. Skiing the third leg for Russia was [Olga Pylyova-Medvedtseva] who has had an eventful Olympic career. An Olympic champion from 2002, she had forfeited a silver medal won in Torino due to a positive doping test for the stimulant carphedon. She is unique in having been Olympic champion before and after failing a drug test at the Olympic Games.
Norway emerged as the team winning most gold medals (3), although it took them until the 5th event, the womenâs 15 kilometres, for them to take the first of their goldâs. In terms of total medals, perhaps more surprisingly it was France who ended up as the best nation with a gold, two silver and three bronze medals. Slovakia, Kazakhstan and Croatia won biathlon medals for the first time.

Great Big Home & Garden Show
February 2nd through February 10th
Monday, January 28, 2013
By Janet email@example.com@jpodolakatwork
The Cleveland winter is being transformed into a pretend but sensual spring at Cleveland's I-X Center, where the Great Big Home + Garden Show gets under way Saturday through Feb. 10.Landscapers from throughout the area are busy designing replicas of 17 U.S. landmarks, many of them framed around gardens. They include such icons as the Biltmore Estate, Central Park, Napa Valley, Longwood Gardens and Fallingwater to give visitors ideas about where they might go this summer as well as how they might design their own home landscapes.When showgoers enter this year's Garden Showcase, they'll be engulfed in the fragrance of daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, azaleas and other spring flowers forced into early bloom for the show.Win tickets to the Great Big Home + Garden Show"We're forcing our own plants into bloom instead of relying on someone else to do it," said Dave Richards, horticulture instructor for 25 juniors and seniors from Auburn Career Center who are putting together a garden patterned after the Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga. Gardens there are known for their spectacular springtime displays of azaleas, dogwood, red bud and other native American plants.Richards first became acquainted with Callaway Gardens about 15 years ago, when his sister lived in Georgia and they visited the 13,000-acre garden, resort and preserve southwest of Atlanta. The English Gothic-style Memorial Chapel is perched next to a small pond in which its fieldstone surface and stained glass is reflected.The horticulture students are working with 20 juniors in the school's Construction Tech program to build a replica of the chapel. Auburn Career Center serves juniors and seniors in the Riverside, Painesville, Fairport, Madison, Perry, Kenston, West Geauga, Kirtland, Berkshire, Cardinal, Chardon and Newbury school districts.Forcing plants into bloom months before they are due calls for a careful balance of light, humidity, heat and nutrition, the horticulture students have learned.Richards said students all get tickets to the show and enjoy observing the amazement of showgoers when they learn the Auburn Career Center garden was created by high school students, not professional landscapers.Although the school has contributed a purpose-built garden to past shows, every year is different."This year they're learning how to install natural stone," Richards said.Building a water feature such as the pond they'll install also has its challenges."It's a lot of work, but such a great benefit to the students," he said. "It's a highlight of their year."Class members work side by side with landscapers in the Pattie Group, so the experience is far beyond a classroom exercise, he said. Most graduate as Ohio certified nursery technicians, so jobs are possible right out of high school, though most go on to specialized programs and college degrees.Bob Hill, instructor in the Construction Tech program, said graduates of his program are actively pursued by unions who want to place them in apprenticeships."When they begin the program they all think they want to be carpenters," he said. "But after they've been exposed to the various trades they discover there are hundreds of job possibilities, from plumbers to electricians and stone work."Beyond the candy for the senses in the Garden Showcase, local exhibitors bring to ticket holders ideas and opportunities to shop for home improvement contractors, lawn and garden equipment, and home decor, along with products and services bringing inspiration for practical transformations at home.Wander the spaces in the fully constructed 4,000-square-foot Idea Home. It's Tuscan in style, with a dining room overlooking a wine cellar, and a kitchen island seating eight. A separate Dream Basement has theater seats, a wet bar, exercise room, game room and even a steam shower.Daughter Stefanie and mother Loretta Paganini will tag-team with other chefs from the International Culinary Arts & Sciences Institute in Chester Township for daily 30-minute cooking demonstrations. Matt Fish, owner/chef for Melt Bar and Grilled, also will share his takes on comfort foods several times during the nine-day show. The Loretta Paganini Cooking Stage is shared this year with the Main Stage, so showgoers won't have to go far to switch between gardening and cooking demonstrations.Want to learn about making pierogi or bread? Catch chef Tim McCoy's demos at noon and 6 p.m, Feb. 7. Interested in knowing more about how to incorporate healthy quinoa in meals? Catch Stefanie's presentation at 2 p.m. Sunday. Loretta, just back from Florida, will share some of her food finds from Sanibel Island at 11 a.m. Feb. 10.Find the complete schedule for all the cooking shows at www.greatbighomeandgarden.com.Back this year are the Celebrity Designers Rooms, custom designed by exhibitors with help from local radio and television personalities. Seminars on a variety of gardening topics will be offered at The Petitti Garden Stage, where outdoor furniture and plants will be available to purchase. A KidsZone will showcase the world's safest trampoline along with swings, slides and basketball hoops for youngsters.Best of all for many who arrive in pickups with shovels and wearing boots at the 6:30 p.m. closing Feb. 10. That's when products and plants used for displays in the gardens go on sale to those willing to haul them away.2013 Great Big Home + Garden ShowCleveland I-X Center near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Feb. 4 through Feb. 810 a.m. to 9 p.m. Feb. 910 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 10Tickets: $14 adults at box office; $11 adults online, Home Depot and AAA locations; $10 seniors 65 with ID Monday through Thursday at box office; $5 children 6 through 12Details: greatbighomeandgarden.com

I won't be exaggerating if I would say that I personally love what I do since it gives me pleasure to express myself in art and inspire people with it.

Obama touts Erickson Construction's turnaround as a sign of a rebounding U.S. housing market during Tuesday's stop in Phoenix
CHANDLER, Ariz. (Aug. 6, 2013) — On his trip to Arizona today to speak about housing and the middle class, President Barack Obama honored building-industry workers as he toured Erickson Construction, a provider of turnkey framing solutions for major homebuilders in Phoenix, Sacramento, and Reno.
"One of the cornerstones of a middle-class life in America is the chance to own your own home," said President Obama. "Thanks to the steps we've taken over the past four years, companies like Erickson Construction are bringing on new workers to build more new homes — and my Administration is committed to helping more responsible homebuyers afford those homes."
Erickson executives were excited to host President Obama. "We're honored by President Obama's visit and appreciate the attention he's focusing on the housing market," Andrew Bursky, Chairman of Erickson's parent company, Atlas Holdings LLC, said. "Erickson is a great example of how entrepreneurial spirit, the capability of motivated American workers, and the constructive impact of capital risk takers like Atlas Holdings can create and reinvigorate successful enterprises that are driving employment gains in our recovering economy."
Founded in 1975 in Chandler, Ariz., Erickson flourished throughout the 1980s and 1990s. As a result of a series of acquisitions, it came to be owned by Masco Corp., a Fortune-500 company that manufactures and markets products for the home-improvement and construction markets. Erickson posted significant losses during the latest recession, prompting Masco to pursue a disposition or shutdown of the business. Atlas Holdings — a Greenwich, Conn., private-equity firm with a long history of successfully rehabilitating struggling industrial businesses — acquired Erickson in 2012. Company employees at the time numbered about 100; today the company employs nearly 600 people full time and continues to expand.
According to Bursky, "It was a typical Atlas transaction: We partnered with the prior leaders of the business — including Chief Operating Officer Bob 'BQ' Quinonez and other senior managers — to acquire Erickson," he said. "And 100 percent of the investment was Atlas equity dollars at risk — no leverage was used — with the goal of eliminating Erickson's core business problems and restoring its long-term viability.
"Our purchase and transformation of Erickson is a story that we have repeated dozens of times over the past decade," Bursky concluded. "We're restoring businesses — and preserving thousands of American jobs — by committing our capital and operational experience in concert with capable and highly motivated local managers."
The housing sector has showed renewed vigor in recent months, with housing prices accelerating, consumer confidence at a five-year high, construction activity increasing, and foreclosures and delinquency rates falling. Meanwhile, Phoenix is practically experiencing a housing boom, recording the country's highest year-on-year house price increase of 22.4 percent in March 2013. Recent data suggests Erickson's other two core markets — Northern California and the greater Reno, Nev., area — are improving, as well.
After touring Erickson's Chandler facility, President Obama gave a speech to housing advocates, students and faculty at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix. Revisiting the topic of his first presidential visit to Arizona in February 2009, President Obama laid out his plans to continue to help responsible homeowners and those Americans who seek to own their own homes. Tuesday's address is the latest in a series of speeches throughout the country where the President has discussed the state of the economy and strengthening the middle class.

Environmental refugees could hit 50m by 2010
Climate change not helping
The world could be facing a surge in the numbers of people made homeless by environmental degradation, with UN researchers estimating that by 2010, there will be 50m so-called environmental refugees in need of aid and support.
"There are well-founded fears that the number of people fleeing untenable environmental conditions may grow exponentially as the world experiences the effects of climate change and other phenomena," said Janos Bogardi, director of the UN University's Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).
But currently, global conventions define a refugee as someone who has a "...well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion..."
"This new category of 'refugee' needs to find a place in international agreements. We need to better anticipate support requirements, similar to those of people fleeing other unviable situations," Bogardi argues.
The question of how to define an environmental refugee is a complex one, and the UN researchers acknowledge the dangers of taking a too simplistic approach. For instance, growing deserts are the single biggest factor is driving these kinds of migration. And although climate change is an exacerbating factor, unsustainable farming methods and population growth are also directly responsible.
Another major change will be that these new refugees will most likely migrate within their own countries, the researchers say.
Places in particular danger include Sana'a, Yemen's capital city, villages on the edges of the Gobi desert, as well as Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Sana'a's population has doubled every six years since 1972, but the aquifer on which it depends for water could run dry by 2010, according to the World Bank.
Half of Egypt's farm land faces contamination with salt water, while Morocco, Libya and Tunisia each lose over a thousand square kilometres of farmland to the desert every year.
UNU-EHS has established a new research chair on social vulnerability. One of its main areas of focus will be migrations forced by "slow moving catastrophes", such as desertification, vanishing safe water and climate change-induced sea level rise. ®

Posts TaggedSlow Feeds
With the end of Google Reader, the playing field for RSS feeds and apps has really levelled out. I've been in the open market ever since. I've got a Feedly account and a Feed Wrangler account. I'm not extremely impressed with either at this point, and I'm considering moving over to Feedbin. But I want to use apps that integrate with my preferred solution.
On the iPhone, that's left me with the official Feed Wrangler app, the Feedly app, Reeder and Slow Feeds. I've been using Reeder for well over a year now, but Silvio Rizzi has been slower and slower to update it as time has gone on. I decided to try out a new experience and I've been test driving Slow Feeds. If you're curious about what a different take on RSS feed reading on the iPhone can be like, hit up my review after the break. (more…)

To keep your beautifiers to a bare minimum, first score a shampoo you can use as a body wash and a shaving cream. A great one to try: Paul Mitchell the Wash, $13. Also use a scented body lotion that can serve as a fragrance, moisturizer and even a flyaway fixer if you run your fingers lightly over your hair after your daily slather.
