Phox Water | 3-Pack Replacement Filters |
Phox Water | 3-Pack Replacement Filters |
- Compatible with Kinetic Water Pitcher and Phox Pitcher
- Gives you spring water taste straight from your tap
- Makes anti-oxidant rich Alkaline Water pH level between 7.5-9.5. Infused with electrolytes for optimal hydration.
- Filters 350-400L of water, or lasts 60 days.
- Removes tap water odour, hardness, heavy metals and pollutants
Layer one: The first layer consists of non-woven fabrics which remove any solid substances like rust, mud or soil from the water. Despite the fact that much of the our tap water systems in the developed world have already removed elements such as mud and soil to meet water quality standards, this first layer is an important first step in the filtration process because it removes the most basic unwanted contaminants should they be present.
Layer two: The second layer of the filter is made up of alkaline mineral balls. This is the section of the filter that enhances the pH level of the water.
Layer three: The third layer is a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified activated carbon layer. This is the part of the filter which absorbs the chlorine and eliminates heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides and the odour of normal tap water. This makes the water both clearer and cleaner while enhancing the taste.
Layer four: The fourth layer of the filter is NSF certified ION exchange resins. These adjust the calcium and magnesium content which softens the water, removing any hardness found in tap water and giving it a refreshing, smooth texture. Layer five:
The final layer of the filter is filled with FIR ceramic balls. These increase the oxygen content of the water, add some trace minerals and remove bacteria.

Hong Kong investor Peter Kwok (郭炎) could become the largest shareholder of Chinatrust Financial Holding Co (中信金控) and ownership of Taiwan's largest credit-card issuer could shift from the Koo family to the Kwok group if an equity offering currently under consideration were allowed to go through, a new report dated May 20 warns.
The report, a copy of which was obtained by the Taipei Times earlier this week, was prepared by the office of Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Pan Meng-an (潘孟安) and raises serious questions about Kwok's financial capabilities, his political allegiance and the origin of some of the money that would be used to finance his investment.
At present, the shareholder composition at Chinatrust is chairman Jeffrey Koo (辜濂松) at 7.28 percent (Koo family members hold an aggregate of about 20 percent); Morgan Stanley and other foreign companies at 43 percent; Cathay Life Insurance (國泰人壽), Far Glory Life Insurance Co (遠雄人壽), the Bureau of Labor Insurance and Fubon Life Insurance Co (富邦人壽) at between 1.04 percent and 1.42 percent each, the report says.
Following delays in capital collection, the board of directors at Chinatrust decided on May 17 to issue 2.5 billion shares through private placement at NT$16.45 per share, with a total value of NT$41.125 billion (US$1.28 billion), which will be submitted during a shareholders meeting scheduled for June 30.
This is the largest seasoned offering in the nation's history.
According to the provisions of Article 16 in the Financial Holding Company Act (金融控股公司法), the report says, any holder of more than 10 percent of shares must be assessed for major shareholder eligibility.
Kwok is expected to invest about NT$21 billion, for a 9.9 percent stake in Chinatrust, meaning that a shareholder eligibility assessment would not be necessary.
The share allocation after the private placement would be Koo at 5.75 percent (17.8 percent for the Koo family); USI (Kwok and Ed Rogers at 14 percent together); Hong Kong-listed China Strategic Holdings Ltd (中策集團) or other private placement shareholders at 6 percent and Mitsui Sumitomo Financial Group Inc of Japan at about 1 percent, the report says.
The number of shares issued in the seasoned offering accounts for more than 21 percent of the equity. If it passed, Kwok, including his shares in USI, would become the largest shareholder of Chinatrust and the combined shareholding between Kwok, China Strategic and other private placement shareholders would overtake that of the Koo family.
In addition, Chinatrust agreed in November last year to sell about 10 percent of its shares to China Strategic in exchange for 30 percent of shares in Nan Shan Life Insurance Co (南山人壽), a subsidiary of American International Group Inc.
If the transaction succeeds through the acquisition of Nan Shan by Primus Financial Holdings Ltd (博智金融) and China Strategic Holdings — a contentious deal that is still being evaluated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) — it would further dilute the shareholding of the Koo family, the report says.
Born in 1949, Kwok is currently president of Hong Kong-listed USI Partners. He once headed China International Trust and Investment Corp (CITIC, 中國中信), a Chinese state-owned investment company, and was a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) for three consecutive terms. After resigning as a CPPCC member last year, he began making plans to invest in Taiwan.

Most people think it is common sense that cold weather causes more colds. And traditional Chinese medicine is even more emphatic about this, categorizing many respiratory illnesses as wind-borne or cold-borne. And who didn't grow up hearing their mother tell them to "bundle up or you'll catch a cold"?
But really, there isn't strong evidence that cold temperatures by itself cause more colds. In fact, there is good evidence that cold weather does not cause the common cold. Yes, it does seem intuitive that cold weather may lower your immune system, and some studies do suggest that. And it makes sense that since a low-grade fever can increase neutrophil response, that a cold temperature would do the reverse and slow those infection-fighting cells. But the fact remains that the best studies which specifically separated patients into two groups (a cold group and then a normal temperature group), then exposed them to the common cold virus, showed no change in infections in the cold-exposed group. There's also a pretty good review of the medical evidence at Wikipedia, along with sources of relevant articles. I included one link at the end of this post which details one of the more famous articles.
One likely reason that people think being cold causes a cold is that the rhinovirus always flares up during the winter months. Also, in winter people are huddled together in close quarters, so they expose others to the virus via respiratory particles. So, colds are always more frequent in the winter — but not because of the cold temperature itself on your body.
This is an interesting academic debate which is far from agreed upon by researchers, and honestly I am still a bit skeptical and would love to see other studies, especially from Chinese journals. No matter what you believe, common sense still prevails — I have no plans to start jogging naked through the winter streets. The American Academy of Pediatrics, which agrees with the American Lung Association that "cold weather does not cause colds or flu", has a nice handout on winter safety tips for children.

At dusk, when the warm orange Mediterranean sun begins to dip closer to the aquamarine Tyrrhenian Sea, there is an hour or two when the coastline of Calabria glows violet. Along with the Costa degli Dei and the Riviera dei Cedri, the Costa Viola, or Violet Coast, is part of a 155-mile shoreline that is one of Italy's least celebrated and yet most spectacular, a sight easily the equal of the Ligurian or Amalfi coasts. Here, between stretches of abandoned construction and acres of bergamot orchards, isolated fishing villages and ancient fortified towns still cling to the foreboding Aspromonte, mountains that seem to plunge into the Mediterranean.
Tell a non-Calabrese that you are traveling to Calabria and the standard response is an incredulous, often dramatically drawn out, "Ma perché?" ("But why?"). If the Italian peninsula is a boot comprising the generous thigh of the north and the elegant calf of Lazio and Campania, then Calabria is the toe. Italy's southernmost region has long been held back by its dark and tragic past, one marked by wars, earthquakes, corruption, and, most cor- rosively, the damage wreaked by the 'Ndrangheta, the local organized crime syndicate.
But if Calabria has been visited by more misfortune than any one place should see, its raw beauty, culinary traditions, and local culture are today distinguishing it for the better. (Last summer, Pope Francis visited to denounce the Mafia and excommunicate members of the 'Ndrangheta—a powerful symbolic turning point for the deeply Catholic region.) Now, after decades of isolation, Calabria is at last beginning to open up to travelers, who will find that to journey here is to visit an Italy unknown.
One of the unexpected pleasures (and challenges) of visiting Calabria is discovering just how unaccustomed to tourism it is. A certain sense of adventure accompanies travel to a place so far off the Grand Italian Tour that the typical accommodation is often either an eerily empty village resort or a musty converted spare room in somebody's house. There are, however, some notable exceptions, like the Villa Paola, a restored sixteenth-century monastery turned handsome 11-room hotel. Set amid a garden of jasmine, citrus trees, and heaps of magenta bougainvillea, it also happens to be just outside Tropea, an ancient fort town of some 7,000 people that's the most dramatic and beautiful in all of Calabria.
Teetering on a cliff above one of Italy's purest white beaches, with views to the volcanic Aeolians in the distance, Tropea is a maze of narrow lanes and crumbling charm. Legend has it that Hercules founded the town, and over the millennia it has seen the comings and goings of empires. Miraculously spared the devastation of earthquakes that leveled almost everything else in Calabria, the town has endured, but its days of strategic importance are lost to the past. Caper bushes and prickly pears now inhabit crevices in sidewalks and buildings, slowly widening the cracks with each passing year. Fallen sun-baked figs coat the stone streets, perfuming the air with the scent of slightly rotten caramel.
It's in the summer months that Tropea comes alive. By day, families flock to its beaches, wading out to the caves under Santa Maria dell'Isola, a monastery built on a tiny peninsula at the foot of the town. By evening, it hums with a cheery southern Italian energy as sunbathers take their passeggiatathrough the streets, stopping for pizza or gelato. It is a scene played out in many towns across Italy, yet here, the accents heard in the piazza aren't German, English, or even northern Italian but instead almost exclusively the staccato Calabrese dialect.
Farther down the coast is the scenic village of Scilla, where swordfishermen head out to sea every morning with teams of shirtless, spear-wielding teenage boys leaning over the prow. As in Tropea, there is a mythical lore associated with this town, which was named after Scylla, a water nymph who was transformed into a sea monster. The legend likely refers to her reputed home, the village's castle-crowned rocky point, which has historically laid waste to many maritime endeavors.
It is in towns like Scilla that one finds the roots of Calabrian cuisine. "When I think of the region, I can taste the brine, acid, and heat," says Carlo Mirarchi, executive chef and co-owner of Roberta's, Brooklyn's acclaimed new-wave pizzeria. Mirarchi, whose father came to the United States as part of the considerable Calabrian diaspora, frequently visits the area on inspiration trips. A recent visit led to experiments with *sardella,*a technique that involves fermenting baby sardines with masses of peppers to form a paste. It's a flavor that would be too pungent, spicy, and humble for most Italians, but in Calabria, it's a key element of the immense antipasti platters that provide the *apertura,*or opening, to every meal. The other key aspect of Calabrian cuisine is the chilies. Fresh or dried, they can be found hanging in windows or sold in laurels along the roadside. Northern Italians are generally averse to hot spices, but not the Calabrians—perhaps because the Saracens are said to have introduced the chili to Italy by way of Sicily. A menu at a typical Calabrian trattoria reads like something from Dante's Inferno: Pizzas, pastas, and antipasti are described as being alla purgatorio, diavolo("of the devil"), and infernale("from hell"). It's the *peperoncino—*spicy yet earthy—that provides Calabrian cuisine with its explosive drama and ensures that food here (typified by its most famous export, *'nduja,*the spicy red spreadable sausage) is unlike anything else you'll find in Italy.
And if chili is the flavor of Calabria, then bergamot is its fragrance. As with Madagascan vanilla or Damascene rose, the quality of this orange variety relies on its provenance. No one is quite sure how the mercurial citrus, which famously flavors both teas and perfumes, took root here in the dry, narrow coastal strip between sea and mountains—but it did, and flourished. In the early winter months, the scent of its flowers fills the air with an aroma so sweet and thick it's almost boozy.
Then there's the Calabrian character itself, which is often as spicy as the cuisine. Maligned by outsiders and preyed upon by the 'Ndrangheta, Calabrians can at times be suspicious and skeptical of strangers. So it's particularly startling to receive such a warm welcome from organic winemaker and olive oil producer Roberto Ceraudo, who greets visitors to Dattilo, his vineyard in Crotone, the desperately poor region on Calabria's Ionian coast, with an embrace. The road to Dattilo, which is lined with decrepit factories and rusted power plants, is among the most unattractive in all of Italy. But Ceraudo's oasis is proof of Calabria's raw beauty and, as important, a testament to how relatively quickly it can be rehabilitated. His stone cantina and bed-and-breakfast, Agriturismo Dattilo, are set amid vineyards and 1,200-year-old olive groves whose peculiar golden-brown color complement the glow of the rolling hills in the afternoon light. Ceraudo is helping to revive the region's winemaking tradition, investing in gaglioppo and magliocco, centuries-old local grape varieties, and, he says, creating wines that "are said to be the ones drunk by the first Olympians." At prestigious fairs in Italy's north, Ceraudo is of- ten the lone Calabrian exhibitor, but his wines are winning acclaim for their distinct palate—including the Italian wine industry's most prestigious award, a Tre Bicchieri(Three Glasses) designation from the authoritative food journal Gambero Rosso.
Happily, he may not be the sole pioneer for long. These days, other small producers are also beginning to reintroduce the Calabrian terroirto the world, in the process creating a newfound sense of hope for a future in which Calabria writes its own destiny rather than accepting what fate hands it. "This was once the richest region in all of Europe," says Ceraudo, as he looks out over a landscape that includes an abandoned ghost town in the distance. But he's not the despairing type, and when he speaks again, he sounds defiant: "Calabria has been here since the beginning of civilization—and fortunes will always shift." So they should.

Studying the full eight years of post-9/11 federal terrorism prosecutions, the Center on Law and Security has assembled a massive relational database, a resource that exists nowhere else. Periodically we have reached into the growing data set and pulled out snapshots of the most illuminatingtrends. This year's Terrorist Trial Report Cardreveals much about the government's changing legal strategies, the varied biographies of the defendants, and the nature of the threat.
As the number of prosecutions approaches 1,000, federal prosecutors have shifted strategies and courts have honed their ability to try alleged terrorists. An early practice of making high-profile arrests while prosecuting few terrorism charges eroded public trust and muddied assessments of the nature and scale of the threat after 9/11. Our research shows that in recent years there has been a strong trend, little noticed in the public debate, towards a more effective use of the criminal justice system. Despite procedural and substantive challenges, the gap between public allegations of terrorism and the existence of charges of terrorism in court has narrowed considerably. An increasing percentage of convictions involve the more serious charges and a growing percentage of those accused of terrorism are convicted. Overall, the Justice Department has adopted a more disciplined approach, promising less in its public pronouncements and delivering more in the courtroom.
The Transnational Use of Torture Evidence
Kai Ambos (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen – Law)
Israel Law Review, Vol. 42, no. 2, p. 362, 2009
From an international criminal law perspective the question of torture has two aspects. The first is substantive: is the use of torture in all situations, even in the most extreme ones, where torture is applied to save the life of innocents ("preventive torture"), unlawful and must the torturer always be punished? I have tried to find a differentiated answer to this question elsewhere. The second aspect is a procedural one: can evidence obtained by means of torture ("torture evidence") be used in criminal trials? In states governed by the rule of law and fair trial, the answer is a simple and clear "no" if torture was applied by national authorities and the torture evidence is meant to be used in a subsequent criminal trial. In this situation, of "direct use of torture evidence," national procedural norms provide explicit prohibitions. These national prohibitions are based on human rights law, in particular Article 15 of the UN Convention Against Torture (CAT).
A more complex question also analyzed in this Article is whether such prohibitions also apply to the transnational use of torture evidence, i.e. situations in which torture evidence obtained in one country and is used in another. One may distinguish between two situations: in the first situation, state A, which has a clear prohibition against the use of torture evidence, sends a suspect to state B, known for its torture practices, to obtain such evidence. In the second situation, state A, in a joint investigation with and inside state B, obtains torture evidence and uses this evidence in a domestic criminal trial in its own territory. The difference between these cases is obvious: in the first case, state B's torture practice is intentionally and consciously used to circumvent state A's national torture prohibitions. In the second case, the prohibiting state A obtains torture evidence accidentally, without having intentionally used state B's torture practices. Transnational use of torture evidence must also be distinguished from the supranational use of such evidence, i.e. its use before international criminal tribunals. After a short explanation of the theoretical point of departure with regard to the use of illegally obtained evidence, we will begin with the supranational level, since it may produce some important findings with a view to the transnational use of torture evidence before national tribunals.
Anthony J. Colangelo (SMU)
This Article is the first major scholarly work to comprehensively address Congress's powers under the Constitution's Foreign Commerce Clause. Congress has increasingly used the Clause to pass laws of unprecedented and aggressive reach over both domestic and foreign activity. Yet despite the Clause's mounting significance for modern U.S. regulatory regimes at home and abroad, it remains an incredibly under-analyzed source of constitutional power. Moreover, faced with an increasing number of challenges under the Clause lower courts have been unable to coherently articulate the contours of Congress's power. When courts have tried, their efforts have largely been wrong. The Article explains why they have been wrong and offers a doctrinally and conceptually sound approach to the Clause based on the text, structure and history of the Constitution. It also engages broader legal and policy questions triggered by the Clause. As I show, the Clause is crucial to how Congress constitutionally may project U.S. law around the world.
The Article advances two key limits on Congress's foreign commerce power and reformats the Supreme Court's three-category commerce framework for the Clause in light of these limits. The first is the nexus requirement, which derives from the Constitution's grant of power only to regulate commerce "with foreign Nations," not a general, global power to regulate commerce "among foreign Nations." Foreign commerce that is the subject of federal regulation therefore not only must be "with" foreign nations, but also "with" the United States. That is, there must be a U.S. nexus. The second limit I refer to as the foreign sovereignty concern. It holds that Congress has no more power and, in some contexts, has less power to regulate inside foreign nations under the Foreign Commerce Clause than it has inside the several U.S. states under the Interstate Commerce Clause.
"Suspending the Writ at Guantanamo: Take III?"
Yale Law Journal, Vol. 119, 2010
JOSEPH PACE, affiliation not provided to SSRN
Under recently enacted appropriations laws, whenever the President wishes to transfer a detainee from Guantanamo Bay to a third country, he must submit a classified report to Congress, which starts a 15 day clock. Only at the end of those 15 days may the Executive conduct the transfer. While the notification law might be unobjectionable as applied to discretionary releases, it raises serious questions under the Suspension Clause and separation of powers when applied to successful habeas petitioners. It effectively adds 15 days of mandatory and unreviewable detention beyond a judicial determination that the Executive lacks legal authority to hold a detainee. Furthermore, since the classified report must contain the final terms of the resettlement/repatriation agreement, the 15 day delay does not start until the Executive has already arranged the transfer. While the short duration of the delay makes the provision difficult to challenge, if a court were to hear such a challenge, it would almost certainly invoke the canons of constitutional avoidance and the clear statement rule to void the law as applied to successful habeas petitioners.

So I was at work today, doing some research in what is basically our corporate wikipedia site. I came across an entry for awesomesauce… and really all I could do was shake my head. A few months ago, I first heard Joe use the phrase weaksauce, and after I stopped laughing, I asked "wtf is that?" He asked if I ever found my way online, and, given that I have not had internet in my residence since May, I had to say "No, I guess not."
When did this sauce crap start? Why is it taking over the world and who started it? On a similar note, about a month ago when I went to Joe's parents house for dinner, I was greeted by the most delicious spaghetti sauce. Being from a Hunts Traditional family myself, I was utterly shocked that she had made it from scratch!
A few weeks later, I eventually worked up the balls to call her and ask her for the recipe. Within about 2 minutes, she hung up on me. Realizing this was due to unfamiliarity with technology rather than seeded hatred, Joe called her back. I eventually got the recipe, and as I should have expected, everything was in "some" & "a little" measurements. Never being one to turn down a challenge, I said "Alright! I can do this!" And boy, did I. Now that was some awesomesauce…
Earlier this evening I was on the phone with Joe when I got it in my head that he should move his furniture in his apartment. This is for a few reasons, one being that he has this really weird corner blocked off by couches where his computer sits. This is hard to explain, but basically one needs to jump over the arm of a couch in order to reach his desk. Last night as we were working on computer stuff together, this presented more than a couple difficulties. Further, a lot of light comes in from his balcony, which is AWESOME, but totally gets in my eyes when I'm watching TV.
Now, I began to tell him all the different ways I had been brainstorming his apartment rearrangement, when I realized I was being a silly-controlling girlfriend and deserved a response along the lines of "umm… Who do you think you are, I like my apartment just the way it is- thank you very much." However, he didn't cock me off like any normal person might do, but rather allowed me to share my wonderful ideas. He thought about it and might actually switch some things up.
Why is this relevant? Because I have a small furniture rearrangement addiction, and now I cannot stop thinking of the different ways to do my own apartment. This is all a part of me bouncing off the walls this evening, trying to clean my apartment. While this is actually the ideal state for one to be in while cleaning, it does make me feel crazy.
- I became distracted by this foreign object atop a building outside my window. Its about 33 stories above my lookout, so I can only see a small part of it, but I'm sure it wasn't there yesterday. What could it be?
- Technically I am in the middle of unpacking/cleaning my room from my Denver trip. Doing so, I had to bring things back to my desk and that caused me to stop and research how much I could possibly sell my car and stereo system for (not that much).
- Each time I leave my room to put something away, I start cleaning wherever I went. So, when I brought the fork that was on the floor in the middle of my room to the sink, of course I had to empty the dishwasher and fill it up again.
- Next, when I brought a load of stuff into the bathroom, I really felt the irresistible urge to brush my teeth (still technically cleaning, right?).
- Back in my room, I see my dumbbells. "Hmm… weights? I haven't used these in awhile, and I probs won't make it to the gym… sure I'll lift a little!"
- [10 minutes later while folding laundry]: "Am I just now realizing that American-Apparel shirts don't have side seams? Thats awesome. Do most other shirts? Maybe I'm just noticing it because I'm crazy. I can't tell if this is an anomaly. I'm going to go check others…" [they all had side seams!!]
Clearly I understand this is the normal way to clean, but it does make me feel rather scatter brained… Thinking I'm special because I can't focus on one thing? Everyday cliché.
Next, I decided to attempt a double batch of chocolate chip/butterscotch/M&M cookies. In the kitchen I realized I was out of butter, but found a fondant vagina instead. I think I'm going to place a magnet on the back of it and put it on my fridge. Hopefully my grandma won't know what it is when she sees it… or wait, hopefully she does know what it is. This is getting weird… I'll just decide now that I'll hide it next time she comes… AHH
But why do I have a fondant vagina you ask?
Well, a couple weeks ago, I had just gotten to work and of course the first thing I do is check facebook. I realized that it was my best friend's birthday and I had completely forgotten to send anything. In a panic, I searched for "bakery near ___ (his address)". The closest one, and the only one I needed to check, was called Le Bakery Sensual.
Being a smart thinker, I made the phone call from the bathroom, as anyone near my cube would have been able to hear the conversation. However, apparently this crazy bakery doesn't open up until later in the day -and- that's on Colorado time too. This was literally my busiest day at work ever, so I had to squeeze the call in right before my team lunch- prime pee time in the corporate world. Therefore, I was forced to make the call from my desk.
I tried to just get one cupcake delivered, but they didn't want to do that. Eventually I was swindled into purchasing a dozen cupcakes. "Fine, whatever, its my bff's birthday" I thought. Knowing this is a sexual bakery, when the guy asks me what I want on them, I say "lady things- err, ugh, guy things… I mean… I don't know, this is for a guy." While he did understand what I meant, he needed to clarify by asking which specific body parts I wanted. I ultimately had to say, aloud in my cube, "boobs and vaginas please."
At this point, I just gave him the address and my credit card number and needed to get off the phone. My cubbie was just staring at me like "What the f was that phone call about…?"
During lunch, it occurs to me I was never told the total cost of this gift. And, had I not been so flustered, maybe I would have thought to get a penis for myself.
Anyway, I finish out the day and rush home to get ready for the wedding that Joe and I are attending that night. We both get dressed up and head out the door. On the drive there, I get a phone call. Being the techie-guru that I am, my phone calls come through my stereo system. I answer with a polite "Hello?" and in return:
"Did you send me dirty cupcakes!?"
My grin was huge. I was also able to convinced him to send a picture.
I then asked him to save me one. He replied wanting to know which one I desired, so I turn to Joe and pose the question "Do I want to eat vagina or boob?"
Joe jokes that the first words he ever heard my BFF utter were "did you send me dirty cupcakes!?" I'm just glad no one else was in the car. When I went to Denver to visit last weekend, Drew had saved me one (and in case you were wondering, I definitely chose vagina). However, he did not preserve it in the freezer, and it was stale as shit. I ate a little bit of the frosting then just decided to take the jay-jay home. Days later, I was able to confirm with my bank statement that this whole ordeal cost a lovely $80. Absolutely 100% worth it.

I get my groceries, usually, at the Associated Supermarkets on Amsterdam Avenue a few blocks northeast of my apartment. It's not the best supermarket, but the prices are decent, the selection is solid and, most importantly, they deliver.
In Manhattan, where you're walking and not driving to grocery stores, this is, obviously, extremely helpful. It's really the main reason I go to Associated. It's pretty much a cheaper version of Fresh Direct and one that allows me to pick out my groceries in person.
But here's the thing: I never really gave any thought as to how the groceries actually got delivered. I go to the supermarket, put them in my cart, pay for them, leave the bags there, go back to my apartment, buzz the delivery guy up Seinfeld style about an hour later, take the bags from him, give him a tip, and process complete. I always kind of looked at it like a hot dog—a wonderful thing but one with a curtain you don't want to see behind.
Yesterday I saw behind that curtain. I think I'm going to be carrying my groceries home for a while now.
I paid the bill yesterday as I normally do, informed the cashier that I'd like to do delivery. She packed up the bags, told her supervisor and he sent over the delivery guy. He read my address and said something to the cashier in spanish.
"Is anyone home in your apartment now?" she asked.
I told her no but that I was heading there now.
"K, so he's going to go back with you," she said.
Um, this was not part of the plan. Never have five blocks felt so long. 90-degree heat, me walking with empty hands, on my right an older dark skinned man pushing my $100 worth of food in a shopping cart and following my directions home. I tried to fall back a bit, make it seem like I wasn't guiding a servant carrying my stuff. I called my brother and my mother in a desperate attempt to visually distance myself from the image I thought I might be portraying, but neither of them had time to talk. I tried talking to him but his English was not very good. So I just walked.
Now, it should be said: I am, by no means, attempting to disparage this man's work. A job is a job, after all. So maybe I shouldn't feel bad. Maybe this is how this man makes a living for a family and me feeling guilty and subsequently changing my habit of getting my groceries delivered would actually do more harm than good. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Eventually we arrived at my apartment and I decided to give him a really nice tip. In hindsight, I think this might actually be something that portrays the exact image I was trying not to. Or maybe the fact that I'm worrying more about the image it portrays is also an example of me falling into one of those traps.
These are all deeper questions for a different time. All I know now is that I've seen how the hot dogs are made.

There are numerous species of finch, but one of the most popular as pets is the zebra finch. This species is hardy and relatively easy to care for, so it is an excellent choice for the new owner. Zebra finches are normally kept in pairs and entertain themselves without a lot of interaction with their owners, making them a good choice if you don't have a lot of time to spend with your birds. Other finches are more brightly colored, but few are easier to keep successfully than zebra finches.
Breed Overview
Common Names: Zebra finch, chestnut-eared finch, spotted-sided finch, and Australian Aboriginal names Nyi-Nyi and Nyeen-ka
Scientific Name: Poephla guttata
Adult Size: 4 inches long from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail feathers; it is one of the smaller (though not the smallest) finches.
Life Expectancy: 3 to 15 years, although 3 to 5 years is typical
Origin and History
Zebra finches are natives of the arid areas of central Australia and still exist there in large flocks. They can also be found in Indonesia and East Timor. The zebra finch has also been introduced into Costa Rica and Portugal, where wild flocks now exist. The preferred habitat includes a range of grasslands and forests, preferably close to water.
Zebra finches are small birds and are active and fun to watch, but quiet when it comes to vocalization (its chirps and peeps are easy to tolerate for most people). Although small, the zebra finch needs a fairly large cage in order to have flight room. All finches are social and should be kept in pairs—and a male and female pair will usually breed quite readily so you may want to consider keeping only females. Some people recommend keeping them either in pairs or in groups larger than six. Of course, if keeping more than a pair, you will need a larger cage such as a flight cage or aviary. While they are social with each other, zebra finches are not birds that bond strongly to people (although they do become quite tame). They are good for watching but not for handling.
Zebra Finch Colors and Markings
Zebra finches are attractive birds and they are dimorphic—males are easily distinguished from the females. In a native environment, the males have black and white bars on the throat and breast, orange cheek patches, and brown on the sides of the body. Females don't have these features and are instead gray in these areas. Both males and females have red-orange beaks, although the male's beak is much brighter in hue. A wide variety of color mutations are now available in captive-bred birds.
Caring for Zebra Finches
When keeping zebra finches, the height of the cage is not as vital as having room to fly horizontally, so a long but short cage is acceptable. It is a good idea to get the largest cage you can—30 inches long, 18 inches high, and 18 inches wide is a good size for a pair of zebra finches. If you are going to get a larger group, you'll need an aviary or flight cage. This can be home-built, but keep in mind that excellent hygiene is a must, so any cage should be easy to clean. Wire spacing should be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
Supply a variety of perches, but make sure the cage is not so cluttered that the finches cannot fly back and forth. For perches, you can use dowels in a couple of different sizes, or add some natural branches, perhaps angling them to provide variety so their feet are not always holding onto the perches in exactly the same way. A few small clip-on perches can offer a little privacy in an aviary situation since only one or two finches can sit on them at the same time. If possible, provide some plant cover at the perches to allow for privacy. You can use silk plants or non-toxic live plants.
Swings and ladders can also be provided, although ladders are more likely to be used as perches than for climbing. Small bells or hanging toys can also be included, although finches are generally not very interested in toys.
You'll want the finch cage in a quiet, secure location in your home (although in warmer climates finches can be acclimated to outdoor aviaries). Finches tolerate a white range of temperatures but avoid placing them in direct sunlight or in drafty areas near heat- or air-conditioning ducts. Finches do not crave social interaction with people so, unlike parrots, they do not need to be in a busy social part of the home. In fact, they will probably be less stressed if kept in a quiet corner.
Provide fresh drinking water daily. Some keepers prefer tube-style water dispensers, while others use dishes either attached to the cage (with perches for access) or on the floor (place away from perches to reduce soiling with feces). Whichever you use, make sure there is always a supply of fresh clean water available, and clean the water dishes daily.
Food dishes can also be placed on the floor (not under perches, of course) or attached to the side of the cage. Again, these need to be cleaned daily.
A shallow dish of water should be provided several times a week for bathing. The water in the bath should be clean, so remove the bath water as soon as it becomes soiled.
Some people use full spectrum lighting for their finches. This is helpful especially in controlling molting and breeding behavior, but it isn't strictly necessary for the average pet zebra finch.
Feeding the Zebra Finch
Feed your finches a good-quality finch seed mix, although this should never be the sole diet. Check to make sure that the seeds are fresh by sprouting them (put some in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel)—if they will not sprout, then the seeds are too old to feed. Feeding them sprouted seeds is an excellent way to boost nutrition, as the seeds are at the peak of their nutritional value at sprouting.
Millet sprays are a favorite treat of many finches but offer them sparingly to prevent the birds from developing a preference for millet to the exclusion of other foods.
A variety of green should be provided, including romaine lettuce, dandelion greens, kale, and spinach (in moderation), along with a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits (no avocado, though, it is toxic to most birds). Experiment to find what they like and keep offering a variety, as it may take your finches a few tries to accept new food items. Remember, though, that serving sizes of these foods should be small.
Pellets offer excellently balanced nutrition and are nice to offer as part of a varied and balanced diet. Be sure to get good quality pellets especially formulated for finches; you may need to be persistent in getting your finches to accept them.
Eggfood is a supplement that is very important for breeding birds but it can be fed in moderation to non-breeders as well. You can buy a commercially prepared egg food supplement or prepare your own.
Some sort of calcium supplement is recommended and a cuttlebone is an easy way to add calcium to the diet, as are crushed oyster shells or even eggshells (heat thoroughly before crushing to prevent salmonella contamination).
The role of grit is still highly debated when it comes to finches. Many avian vets now recommend no grit for finches, as they do hull their seeds. If you do feed grit, only offer a few granules at a time and at infrequent intervals, especially mineralized grit.
These small birds get most of their exercise from straight-line flights across the cage, as well as climbing on perches and branches. Provided the cage or aviary is large enough to allow some flight, they don't require much more in the way of exercise.
Common Health Issues
Zebra finches can be prone to scaly face caused by mites, which requires treatment by a vet. Zebra finches are prone to air-sac mite infection, especially when overly stressed. This serious condition needs immediate veterinary care if the bird is to survive—if your bird has obvious difficulty breathing, seek help immediately.

Breaking the Mould:Lessons for Implementing Community Land Rights in Kenya
University of Naiorbi, Kenya
The adoption of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 ushered in the legal recognition of community land rights in Kenya. Translating these provisions into actual practice is fundamental to the realization of the rights of communities in Kenya. This will catapult communal arrangements for land holding and management from the shadows of the law to the forefront of legal regulation of land rights. The presentation is based on a book edited and launched just a few weeks before the enactment of Kenya's Community Land Act in 2016. The book, based on lessons from South Africa and Brazil, demonstrates that constitutional provisions on their own are insufficient to deliver real security of tenure and access to land-based resources to citizens. They require detailed supportive legislative enactments, administrative arrangements and complementary community of practice on the ground.
The presentation makes the case that both the text of the Community Land Act and its implementation has to take into account the reality that while tenure in traditional and communitarian settings differs from modern conceptions both have undergone transformation over the years hence the need for innovation and adaptation.

Investigating Community Knowledge Of Rural Land Resources In The Yway Gone Village Tract,Bago Region, Myanmar
Tetra Tech, United States of America
In Myanmar, seventy percent (70%) of the population live in rural areas and rely on agriculture for their livelihoods. It is essential for these citizens, particularly the most vulnerable i.e. women and ethnic minorities, that use and tenure rights are recognized thereby supporting more equitable economic growth for all.
The agricultural sector of Myanmar has long suffered due to poor national level policies, weak land use planning, and a lack of enforcement of land related laws and regulations, a situation exacerbated by the absence of formal tenure security for many individuals and communities. The new era of political transparency beginning in 2011 which ultimately led to the new, democratically elected administration in 2016 has heralded an era of rapid political and economic transition, something that is clearly evident in the formulation of policies that impact rural populations as well as foreign investment. A National Land Use Policy (NLUP) now exists that will form the basis for the future development of a new National Land Law.
This paper explores the degree to which a rural community in Myanmar understands existing land resource management practices with a view to documenting what future actions would necessary to safeguard presently informal tenure arrangements.

Development of Pro-poor and Gender Responsive System (ProGResS) of Land Governance in Nepal
1Ministry of Land Reform and Management, Nepal; 2UNHABITAT Nepal; 3Department of Civil and Geomatics Engineering, Kathmandu University; 4Project Engineering and Environmental Studies [PEES] Consultant (P) Ltd., Nepal; 5Department of Land Information and Archive, Ministry of Land Reform and Management
The Land Administration System (LAS) of Nepal experiences two major lacking from pro-poor and gender responsive perspective of governance; 1) It lacks pro-poor and gender responsive socio-economic data of the land owners 2) It lacks information on informal land tenure under which a large number of people are leaving with unsecured tenure and without formal spatial recognition.
Most of the people suffering from these two major pitfall of Nepalese LAS are poor, marginalized and Socio-Economically Disadvantaged (SED) people, especially the women and children. Because of the absence of pro-poor and gender responsive information in the LAS, it is difficult to formulate evidence based policies and make informed decision to ensure equitable access and meaningful control over land for the target group.
This study investigates development of Pro-poor and Gender Responsive System (ProGResS) of land governance. Existing LAS in Nepal is extended with the development of three new modules for Data Acquisition, Data Analysis and Data Dissemination. Identification, Verification and Recording (IVR) process was carried out in participatory approach in the selected study area to collect primary data on informality and socio-economic status of land owners. The ProGresS was tested and validated widely among the stakeholders and results are found encouraging.

Responsible Governance To Secure Land Rights Of Single-Women – An Example From Odisha (India)
Landesa (Rural Development Institute), India
The state's land and welfare programs in Odisha (India) leave behind a group that remains "invisible" to policymakers: rural single women. In strongly patriarchal societies, these women end up being "absorbed" by a larger household which denies them exclusive rights to access land and other public entitlements. Landesa, in partnership with the state government, designed an approach to identify women in this category of risk by establishing a Women Support Centre (WSC) that operates from the sub-district level land administration office and facilitating their entitlements. Initially, the program was piloted in one sub-district and subsequently scaled to seven districts with 88 WSCs.
Using field data and qualitative information from four districts, this paper (i) describes the enumeration mechanism introduced to count the women who previously remained invisible to the system and how they are then assisted to be included in both land and social security programs; (ii) presents the successes and challenges in implementing this approach to date; (iii) discusses how an effective management information system (MIS) developed is helping to improve governance by allowing easy access to information about beneficiaries across programs;(iv) describes what it would take to scale it to other settings; and (v) makes policy recommendations.

I've covered a lot of incompetent and ill-prepared politicians over my career but none quite so bad as Trudeau's Labour Minister, MaryAnn Mihychuk, who keeps proving she has no shame and has no clue.
Previously, I've demonstrated that she had no idea what was in the bills she was about to repeal related to accountability and transparency for union members.
Now we see that when a Conservative MP asks her about the Charbonneau Commission, she has no idea what that was.
While it may be true that coverage of the important work being done by the commission was mainly to be found in Quebec, wouldn't you think that stories about politicians, bureaucrats, the mob and unions working together to soak taxpayers and enrich themselves might be a particular area of interest for a Minister of Labour?
Isn't this especially true in light of several arrests last week of former politicians and political staff in yet another corruption round-up in Quebec?
Can this woman really be trusted with such an important file? I say she should either resign or be fired.

Getting Started
- New Player's Guide
- Rules
- Plot
- Subaccounts Guide
- Application Guidelines
- Registration
- Activity Guidelines
New to Pandora? Feeling a little bit lost and confused and unsure of where to stop? You have come to the right place! We want to make the registration process as smooth and simple as possible for you, so here is a step by step guide for you to follow, courtesy of the Pandora staff.
- Getting Started
- Creating Your Character
- After Acceptance
- Bored?
Required Reading
- THE RULES. Like other roleplaying forums, this should be everybody's first stop on Pandora. Many of them are unique to the forum, and we do enforce each and every one of these rules, so read them carefully.
- THE PLOT. The reason you are all here, right? This is where you can find basic information regarding the premise of the forum as well as well as newly updated plot information.
- LIFE IN PANDORA. Now we are getting down to the details. Find out just how life in Pandora works.
Recommended Reading
- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. I'm sure some of you still have questions, so head over to the FAQ. If you still have questions, feel free to PM a staff member.
Decide on a Character
Once you have decided that you are definitely interested in joining the ranks here at Pandora, the first thing you will want to do is choose a character. We realize that this process can be a little bit intimidating because of the number of characters there are to choose from. The first thing you will want to do, however, is take a look at the CANON LIST to see which characters are already taken. We encourage that you pop into our chat-box on the right and say hi. Our members are always eager to help new members decide on a character! Additionally, you can head over to the WANTED ADS to see what kind of characters our current members are looking for.
Choose a character you feel completely comfortable with and who you are already very knowledgeable of. We encourage that you research your character during the application process, but have a pre-established idea of who your character is and how they interact with others. The staff does reserve the right to refuse a character if they feel that the player is not a great fit or the player has not done the research.
Register Your OOC Account
Here at Pandora, we use subaccounts. Every player is required to have an OOC account, the name of which will be whatever alias you use on the site. Register that account and head right over HERE so that we can place you in the correct membergroup!
Create Your Character Account
So, you've decided on your character. The next thing you want to do is create your character's subaccount. Check out our SUBACCOUNTS GUIDE for more information!
Reserve Your Character
Reservations are required. Find reservations HERE. Each character reservation lasts seven days. During that period of time, you will have first dibs on the character. This means that a new player cannot come along and steal the character from right under you before you have finished the application. If the character's reservation expires, then it is possible for someone else to grab the character. Keep an eye on your reservation and we recommend renewing your reservation on the day it expires! Keep in mind that you will only be allowed four reservations (roughly 1 month) to complete your application.
Fill Out An Application
Our application can be located HERE. In order to be accepted, you must copy and paste the form's code into a new topic within the Registration forum and fill it out in its entirety. You are allowed to put up an in progress application, but you must reply to the thread when you have completed it. Otherwise, you run the risk of the application going unnoticed by the staff.
Choose Your Town (or none at all)The first thing you want to do is join one of the usergroups for accepted characters. These are based off of the towns, or are simply left as vagabond (for those characters who choose not to settle in/near any particular town). You can select your usergroup HERE! Please make sure to select only one. You can find an overview of each town, along with links to further information for the curious, HERE.
Post in the Sign-Ups
Once you know where your character will be living, you should post in the SIGN-UPS FORUM. The Sign-Ups forum contains Government and regular jobs along with Housing and College sign-ups for your characters! These are split up by town.
Stop by and say hi in our INTRODUCTIONS section. Tell us a little bit about yourself! We want to get to know who we are roleplaying with here at Pandora.
Jump Right In - Start or Join an Open Thread
- Check out the OPEN THREADS list and see if any of those threads interest you.
- Create an open thread. Just make sure that it is properly tagged as "open" using the thread prefixes.
Character Tools
- SHIPPING THREADS. These are very useful tools when trying to find new plots for your characters or simply trying to find somebody to write a thread with. Stop by and write up your own shipping thread, or browse those already in the forum.
- BRAINSTORMING. You can find and post about thread and plot ideas here!
- CHARACTER DIRECTORY. Another useful tool, you can post a very wide variety of things here. It can be used for trackers, extended character information, relationship information, headcanons, etc.
- WANTED ADS. Looking for more characters from your fandom? Or perhaps you are looking for a specific type of character for a specific type of thread.
Visit the Graphics Requests Forum
Looking for some pretty graphics to decorate your shiny new account with? Head over to the GRAPHICS REQUESTS and request from some of the talent people within. Or perhaps you are somebody willing to offer your skill. In that case, you are free to open a graphics shop of your own within the same forum.
Post in Shipping Threads
Take a peek in the SHIPPING FORUM. It's a great way to start forming bonds with others here in Pandora. You can start your own or you can browse through the shipping threads and find a few to reply to.
There is always something going on in the GAMES. Stop by and browse the wide variety of creative and fun games we have to play.
Start a Thread
One of the best ways to cure boredom is to start or join a thread. After all, we are all here to write, are we not? Look for OPEN THREADS to join or start one of your own.
Read Some Threads
This is something that we try to encourage. Our players here at Pandora have some pretty exciting things going on, so take a look around and see what everybody is up to.
In Character Chatbox
We do have an IN CHARACTER CHATBOX (members only), which is useful not only for curing writer's block, but it is also a chance to easily check out other people's characters. See how they interact with others in the cbox. Please keep in mind that the ICC is considered an alternate universe (AU) and is absolutely not a replacement for threading.

Hannibal Man Arrested on Drug Charges
On Friday, July 24, officers with the Hannibal Police Department arrested 31-year-old Joseph J. Richardson on charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance and 2 counts of Manufacture and Delivery of a Controlled Substance.
While conducting a home visit at Richardson's residence, located in the 2000 block of Gordon St, Agents with the Federal Probation and Parole Office smelled what they believed to be marijuana. The agents located a large amount of marijuana in a bedroom closet and contacted the Hannibal Police Department.
Hannibal officers obtained and executed a search warrant for the residence. During the course of the search, officers located a large amount of what is believed to be powder cocaine and a large amount of what is believed to be crack cocaine, along with the marijuana located by the parole agents.
Richardson was placed on a 24 hour hold at the Marion County Jail. On Saturday, July 25, the Circuit Court of Marion County issued a warrant for Richardson, charging him with Drug Trafficking 2 degree and Possession of a Controlled Substance with the Intent to Distribute. Richardsons bond was set at $100,000.00 cash only. He remains in the Marion County Jail.
A criminal charge is merely an allegation and the defendant is, of course, presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Mom Given 20 years For Allowing Rape Of 5 And 6 Year old Daughters
Written by MagaFirstNews on June 11, 2018
There are few words to express after reading the headline. I know it's horrific and happens daily. Those children will never trust any man or woman ever again fully and society will not be able to heal the damage done to their minds and souls. We are failing our most innocent and the first step to fixing this issue is to acknowledge we have a huge child rape problem.
WSVN.com reports
A mother of two has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to allowing men to rape her daughters in exchange for money and drugs.
According to Fox 32, 25-year-old Morgan Summerlin pled guilty to counts of first-degree cruelty to children, enticing a child for indecent purposes and trafficking a person for sexual servitude last month.
Investigators said Summerlin's daughters, ages 5 and 6, told their guardians how their mom would take them to strange men's homes to be molested and raped.
The men would pay the girls, who then would hand the money over to their mother.
Summerlin was sentenced by a Fulton County judge Monday.
If karma is real, I wish no mercy on any mother who would sexually exploit or rape their own child. Any parent who does this to a child deserves the death penalty or life in prison. 20 years is not long enough for what she has done to, children, she gave birth to, and who saw her as God in their eyes.

Kárpáti, Éva and Kiss, Péter and Ponyi, Tamás and Fendrik, István and Zamaroczy, Miklós de and Orosz, László (1999) Interaction of Azospirillum lipoferum with wheat germ agglutinin stimulates nitrogen fixation. Journal of Bacteriology, 181 (13). pp. 3949-3955. ISSN 0021-9193 (print), 1098-5530 (online)
Download (345kB)
In vitro, the nitrogen fixation capability of A. lipoferum is efficiently increased in the presence of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). A putative WGA-binding receptor, a 32-kDa protein, was detected in the cell capsule. The stimulatory effect required N-acetyl-D-glucosamine dimer (GlcNAc(di)) terminated sugar side chains of the receptor and was dependent on the number of GlcNAc(di) links involved in receptor-WGA interface. Binding to the primary sugar binding sites on WGA had a larger stimulatory effect than binding to the secondary sites. The WGA-receptor complex generated stimulus led to elevated transcription of the nifH and nifA genes and of the glnBA gene cluster but not of the glnA gene from its own promoter. There may well be a signalling cascade contributing to the regulation of nitrogen fixation.
