PERTH, Australia - Bernard Tomic defeated top-ranked Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4 to earn the best win of his career in the Australia-Serbia tie at the Hopman Cup on Wednesday.
Ana Ivanovic evened the tie by overwhelming Australian teenager Ashleigh Barty 6-2, 6-3. Barty made a positive start, but once Ivanovic made the first break to lead 4-2 she took almost total control to ensure the tie would be decided in the mixed doubles.
Tomic put Djokovic under pressure right from the start, holding five break points in the opening game. Djokovic survived that threat and held a break point of his own to lead 5-3 but netted a backhand. Tomic then broke serve in the next game with a crosscourt forehand winner and served out the set.
He kept up the pressure in the second set, failing to convert a break point to lead 4-3 but won his sixth break point at 5-4 which left him serving for the match, and his first win over Djokovic in four tries.
"I played a very, very good match and I'm just happy after the training the last few months, that it's all coming good and the training's paying off," Tomic said.
"Hard work does pay off. I'm still improving but I feel this today was a very good sign. I've got to continue playing like this."
Playing in front of more than 13,000 in the sold-out arena, Tomic admitted to feeling nervous at the start.
"Very difficult to play the first few games," he said. "It's very hard playing against a player like Novak and come out relaxed. But I'm happy the way I came out. I was serving really good and the whole match was on my side because my serve was working really well."
Djokovic was generous in defeat and conceded that Tomic deserved his victory.
"He played really well. He deserved to win," Djokovic said. "I knew I was coming here to Australia really late and it still takes time for me to get used to it.
"But I'm not taking anything from his win. He played terrific. He's in great form. I was always on the back foot and he was the better player."
Earlier, Italy came from behind to beat Germany 2-1.
Francesca Schiavone staged a fightback to defeat Tatjana Malek 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 and level the tie for Italy after Tommy Haas resisted a solid challenge and defeated Andreas Seppi 7-6 (3), 7-6 (7). Italy then won the doubles 6-4, 7-5.
On Thursday, the United States team of John Isner and Venus Williams plays the Spanish pairing of Fernando Verdasco and Anabel Medina Garrigues for a place in Saturday's final. Australia also face Italy.

American Idol singer Frenchie Davis. Mickey Mouse Club member Tony Lucca. The Voice has always been about giving talented singers a second chance at fame. Now, the show is giving its singers another second chance with a twist that could shake the game up in a big way: the Steal.
In the battle rounds, which kick off Monday at 8/7c on NBC, the coaches will have the opportunity to press their buttons once again — this time to steal a singer from another coach after that singer has lost their battle. "I have to say as a naturalized American, what the country is all about is second chances. And this is a second chance for people," executive producer Mark Burnett tells TVGuide.com. "When they hit those buttons and the lights come on, it's like, 'Wow!' I've been doing this long enough that I know when I see something magical happen."
Watch full episodes of The Voice
The Steal comes after the early eliminations of front-runners — most memorably, Niki Dawson in the Season 1 battles. "As Niki Dawson walked out of the room, I think we all went, 'She has such a great talent. Wouldn't it be interesting if there would be a way to keep her?'" host Carson Daly says. "Cut to Season 3, and the Steal enables us to offer a second shot if another coach is so inclined."
Each coach will be allowed two steals throughout the battle rounds and — much like the blind auditions — the coaches will be forced to duke it out if more than one coach tries to steal a singer. "Like fantasy football, the Steal enables all of the coaches to be incentivized, to keep their eye on all of the teams, all the contestants," Daly says. "I think you'll see the Steals added a level of intensity. ... When we shot it, it was like Gladiator."
The Voice video: Get an exclusive look at Team CeeLo
Burnett says that extra level of competition will give new weight to how each coach thinks about the battle rounds altogether. "Those battle choices become all the more important for the coach because they realize as they send someone home, that person may end up winning on someone else's team," he says.
The Steal not only allows fallen singers to redeem themselves, but also serves as redemption of sorts for the coaches if they are able to claim a singer they couldn't get on their team during the blind auditions. "That's when some of that friendly competition does kick in," coach Cee Lo Green says. "Because it's like, 'Great, now I get a chance to work with someone I thought, initially, that I could do a better job with them anyway."
The Voice renewed for two more seasons
The Steal will expand each coach's team to as many as 10 singers at the end of the battle rounds, which also means the introduction of an entirely new Knockout Round before the live shows begin. Although contestants will again have to battle another singer to make it through to the live shows, this time, each will get to perform their own song. "They're literally sitting there on the set watching the other person sing and then they switch places," Burnett says. "It's so tense because we're watching their face on that stage as they are watching the other person perform."
But is Burnett worried about changing the format too much and confusing the show's fans? "I think the viewers are very smart," he says. "Because of social media, we understand how extremely smart The Voice viewers are and how they get it." Burnett also highlights the importance of adding changes to his other reality hit, Survivor, which is now in its 25th season. "It's about evolving and having little shifts, but never losing the care value of a show," he says. "I'm sure this Steal format shift will become permanent. It's great."
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC. What do you think of the Steal? Are you excited to see the new Knockout Round?

NORTH AMERICA: 'Lucy' Surpasses the $50M Mark on Tuesday
on July 30, 2014
By Daniel Garris
Universal's Lucy grossed $5.44 million on Tuesday to lead the daily box office for a fifth consecutive day. The modestly budgeted sci-fi action film starring Scarlett Johansson increased a respectable 10 percent over Monday's performance. In general, yesterday's daily percentage increases weren't as strong as usual for a Tuesday. Lucy surpassed the $50 million mark yesterday and has grossed a stronger than expected $54.31 million in five days. That places the film 22 percent ahead of the $44.51 million five-day take of 2010's Salt.
Hercules held steady in second place with $3.78 million. The Dwayne Johnson led 3D action-adventure film from Paramount and MGM was up 13 percent over Monday. Hercules continues to exceed its relatively modest pre-release expectations with a five-day start of $36.92 million. The film is currently running 5 percent behind the $38.97 million five-day take of 2012's Wrath of the Titans. With Disney's Guardians of the Galaxy arriving on Friday, it is especially important for Hercules to gross as much as it can this week.
Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes took in $2.51 million to remain in third. The critically acclaimed 3D sci-fi action sequel was up 13 percent over Monday, but down 51 percent from last Tuesday. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes has clearly taken a bit of a hit this week from the stronger than expected performances of Lucy and Hercules. With that said the film continues to exceed expectations with an impressive $177.17 million in 19 days.
Universal's The Purge: Anarchy claimed fourth with $1.658 million. The low budget horror sequel increased 9 percent over Monday and fell 54 percent from last Tuesday. The Purge: Anarchy continues to perform well (especially with its price-tag in mind) and has now grossed $55.04 million in twelve days. That places the film 1 percent ahead of the $54.32 million twelve-day take of last year's The Purge.
Planes: Fire and Rescue rounded out the day's unchanged top five with $1.645 million. The modestly budgeted computer animated sequel from Disney was up 10 percent over Monday and down just 29 percent from last Tuesday. With a twelve-day take of $38.49 million, Planes: Fire and Rescue is currently running 20 percent behind the $48.36 million twelve-day gross of last year's Planes.

Oil Spills

If you want a Project Idea with full instructions, please pick one without an asterisk (*) at the end of the title.
AbstractNo one can deny the devastating consequences of an oil spill on the local wildlife. Oil affects all levels of the ecosystem, from plants to fish and birds. What happens to water plants if you add motor oil to their pot? What is the effect of motor oil on the health of a goldfish, or water insects? What happens to the barbs of a bird feather if they are dipped in oil? Can you test different types of environmentally-friendly detergents for cleaning the bird feathers? Can you test different methods of containing oil that has been spilled on water? What about oil spilled on land? How does it affect the soil, or plants that grow in the soil? Can you try to treat affected soil with conditioners or detergents to improve the growth of plants after an oil spill? Some detergents contain enzymes to break down oil and grease; research some of these enzymes. What organisms do they come from? How are they made? What type of proteins are they? Can you think of other potential enzymes to use, or a method of delivery to the spill site? (EPA, 2006)

Environmental ScientistHave you ever noticed that for people with asthma it can sometimes be especially hard to breathe in the middle of a busy city? One reason for this is the exhaust from vehicles. Cars, buses, and motorcycles add pollution to our air, which affects our health. But can pollution impact more than our health? Cutting down trees, or deforestation, can contribute to erosion, which carries off valuable topsoil. But can erosion alter more than the condition of the soil? How does an oil spill harm fish and aquatic plants? How does a population of animals interact with its environment? These are questions that environmental scientists study and try to find answers to. They conduct research or perform investigations to identify and eliminate the sources of pollution or hazards that damage either the environment or human and animal health. Environmental scientists are the stewards of our environment and are committed to keeping it safe for future generations. Read more
Emergency Management SpecialistThere will always be both man-made and natural disasters, like hurricanes, earthquakes, and terrorist attacks, that affect public health and safety. Emergency management specialists are the officials that plan for these disasters—imagining and preparing for the worst—and then coordinating the emergency responses. Emergency management specialists work for local, state, and federal governments, as well as for law enforcement, the military and private agencies to ensure that people have the basic necessities, like clean water, food, temporary housing, sanitation, and first aid in a timely manner after a disaster. They also coordinate clean-up efforts. Emergency management specialists prevent or ease the human suffering, as well as the social chaos and instability that commonly follow a disaster. Read more

My name is Susan and I have been employed at A Great Notion for just about 3 and a half years. I have an excellent knowledge of the fabrics and notions we sell as well as our sewing machines. My main goal is to offer the best customer service I can and to make the most of your visit to the store. I pride myself in helping with good fabric selection and finding that one last fabric you need for your quilt. I also have a great knowledge of the notions we sell to make your sewing/quilting/embroidery project a breeze. My main love has always been in garment sewing and more recently home décor projects. Over the last few years I have learned to quilt and although I like the smaller projects, I am ready to take on a larger challenge.
I am writing this blog as I hear quite often about the other place, our competition and their great prices. I spent some time at my local fabric store (a Canadian chain), recorded some prices, looked at the quality of their product and listened for the service given. I must say not once while I was in there and taking tons of notes was I asked if I needed any help. Anyone that knows me knows I ask if you need help within the first 10 seconds of you being in the shop. I also found their quilting cottons to be of a lesser quality, but I also found some great deals on fabrics as long as I was a member. There are lots of fabrics that we do not sell and I do occasionally have to shop at other places. If you are looking for everyday sewing and quilting notions and good quality cottons then I think our store has it all. I have attached a chart showing some comparison pricing.
The choice is yours: Some things will be cheaper if you shop around and are willing to pay a membership fee, but for all your quilting needs at a GREAT price with GREAT service, A Great Notion is the place to shop.

Over the years, many of you have heard me discuss the importance of financial liquidity. In the current times of extreme volatility and global uncertainty, the rules on liquidity have definitely changed. The other day during a videoconference with producers in six locations, Mike Hosterman, an AgChoice Farm Credit business consultant who has many years of experience working with ag customers, discussed a new twist on liquidity.
Mike stated that in many ways liquidity is a measure of flexibility. It is your cash or near cash reserve. It is also your borrowing reserve. What should you do if you have some extra liquidity, or a year when liquidity can easily be built up?
- First, pay down accounts payable, whether it is for fertilizer, seed or repairs. This is a top priority to maintain strong relationships with suppliers.
- Next, he suggested retiring the operating line of credit or paying it down to zero to start with a clean slate for the next period.
- These two strategies are followed by retiring excessive debt, typically short and intermediate term debt.
Mike indicated that building liquidity requires a high degree of discipline to avoid "wants" and focus on "needs." Of course, excess liquidity can be used to build cash in the bank or a future payment fund for Farm Credit. This cash can be used not only as a financial parachute in difficult times, but also as "dry powder" if opportunities arise. Mike was clear to state that liquidity should be allocated toward those parts of the business that will improve profitability and efficiency.
Mike recommended a liquidity goal equal to a 2:1 current ratio, or $700/dairy cow. Other metrics for financial liquidity include 33% of revenue or costs, or $200-300/acre of farm crops.
Finally, liquidity is important in the household budget. Maintain a liquidity reserve of at least four to eight months' worth of living expenses for the hiccups that can occur in family situations.
Side note
By the way, videoconferences are a fantastic learning medium, even for day-long seminars with facilitated exercises at each location. Hats off to AgChoice for being leaders in this educational delivery method for seasoned producers as well as young farmers!
Editor's note: Dave Kohl, Corn & Soybean Digest trends editor, is an ag economist specializing in business management and ag finance. He recently retired from Virginia Tech, but continues to conduct applied research and travel extensively in the U.S. and Canada, teaching ag and banking seminars and speaking to producer and agribusiness groups.

A new study in mice where researchers replicated a rare type of immune cell in the lab and then infused it back into the body, is raising hope for a new treatment for severe autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The researchers, from Duke University Medical Center in the US, write about their work on a type of B cell, in a paper that was published online in Nature at the weekend.
B cells are immune cells that create antibodies to attack unwanted pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
The type that the researchers on this study focused on are known as regulatory B cells or B10, after interleukin-10 (IL-10), a cell-signalling protein that the cells use.
B10 cells help control immune response and limit autoimmunity, which is where the immune system attacks the body's own healthy tissue as if it were an unwanted pathogen.
Although there aren't many of them, B10 cells play a key role in controlling inflammation: they limit normal immune response during inflammation, thus averting damage to healthy tissue.
Study author Thomas F. Tedder is a professor of immunology at Duke. He says in a statement that we are only just beginning to understand these recently discovered B10 cells.
He says these regulatory B cells are important because they "make sure an immune response doesn't get carried away, resulting in autoimmunity or pathology".
"This study shows for the first time that there is a highly controlled process that determines when and where these cells produce IL-10," he adds.
For their study, Tedder and colleagues used mice to study how B10 cells produce IL-10. For IL-10 production to start, the B10 cells have to interact with T cells, which are involved in switching on the immune system.
They found B10 cells only react to certain antigens. They found that binding to these antigens makes the B10 cells turn off some of the T cells (when they come across the same antigen). This stops the immune system from harming healthy tissue.
This was a new insight into the function of B10 cells that spurred the researchers to see if they could take this further: what if it were possible to use this cellular control mechanism to regulate immune responses, particularly in respect of autoimmunity?
B10 cells however are not common, they are extremely rare. So Tedder and colleagues had to find a way to make a ready supply of them outside the body.
They found a way to isolate the B10 cells without damaging their ability to control the immune responses. And they found a way to replicate them in large numbers, as Tedder explains:
"Normal B cells usually die quickly when cultured, but we have learned how to expand their numbers by about 25,000-fold."
"However, the rare B10 cells in the cultures expand their numbers by four-million-fold, which is remarkable. Now, we can take the B10 cells from one mouse and increase them in culture over nine days to where we can effectively treat 8,000 mice with autoimmune disease," he adds.
The next stage was to try out the new B10 cells: could they influence autoimmunity sufficiently to affect disease symptoms?
They found when they introduced a small number of B10 cells into mice bred to have a disease similar to multiple sclerosis, their symptoms lessened significantly.
"B10 cells will only shut off what they are programmed to shut off," explains Tedder.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you would want cells that would only go after your rheumatoid arthritis," he adds.
He and his colleagues suggest their work shows there is potential to remove regulatory cells, replicate them in their millions, and put them back in the body of a person with an autoimmune disease and it will effectively "shut down the disease", as Tedder describes it:
"This may also treat transplanted organ rejection," he adds.
The researchers call for more studies to learn how to replicate human B10 cells, and find out how they behave in humans.
Autoimmune diseases are complex, so making a single therapy that targets several diseases without causing immunosuppression is not easy, Tedder explains.
"Here, we're hoping to take what Mother Nature has already created, improve on it by expanding the cells outside of the body, and then put them back in to let Mother Nature go back to work," he says.
Grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and the Division of Intramural Research, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, NIH, helped pay for the study.

Canada Cemeteries
There are two main types of cemetery records in Canada Genealogy:
Information recorded on gravestones, including transcripts of this information.
Information recorded by cemetery officials or caretakers, including sexton's records and burial ground records such as plot books and maps.
Cemetery records may give the name of the deceased, age at death, date of death or burial, birth year or date of birth, and sometimes marriage information. Sometimes they may give clues about military service, religion, occupation, place of residence at time of death, or membership in an organization, such as a lodge.
Unfortunately, some people could not afford a gravestone or monument. Some monuments have been vandalized or weathered so badly as to be unreadable. Therefore, also search the sexton's records, which should list everyone who was buried in the cemetery. These records are especially helpful for identifying ancestors not recorded in other records, such as children who died young or women. Relatives may be buried in adjoining plots, so examine the original record rather than an alphabetical transcript.
Sexton records of some burials may have been lost, and some burials may not have been recorded. In isolated areas, most burials were in family plots on the farm itself. Other than a possible family Bible entry, there may have been no written record. On Canada's prairies, pioneer cemeteries were often located at a point where several homesteads met. Few written records were kept, and monuments were destroyed as these cemeteries were plowed under.
To find tombstone or sexton records, you need to know where a person was buried. You can find clues to burial places in funeral notices, church records, and death certificates.
You may find cemetery locations on maps of the area. See Canada Maps. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of Canadian funeral directors are in:
National Yellow Book of Funeral Directors. Youngstown, Oh.: Nomis Publications, annual. (Family History Library book 973 U24y .)
Some burial records have been indexed with other material in genealogical indexes. See Canada Genealogy. The Family History Library has copies of many tombstone and some sexton records. See the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:

Not so pleased with to pay extra for an extra bed days after paying the hotel. That should not be correct after I have got a price and have confirmed the price with paying the first time. Strange to get a email and being told to pay extra for bed to keep the room. An offer is an agreement when I confirm.

The hotel as such consists of a number of bungalows with various loacations within the hotel area. Avoid the river view bungalows but the sea view and the beach front bungalows are fantastic. The staff is probably the most friendly and helpful we met. The commuter van to a nearby beach compensates for the rocky hotel beach. Having said rocky - don´t miss the Rocky bar which is really the place to be during warm oriental nights. We strongly recommend this hotel and we will for sure be back./Micke and Ylva

The authors said that more efficient prescribing practices could have saved the Medicare program and its beneficiaries $4.5 billion.
The study results, which appeared in the Feb. 9 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, suggest increased use of lower-cost generic medications could substantially reduce drug spending and beneficiary out-of-pocket costs without compromising quality of care or health. In addition, regional costs per prescription closely parallel the use of brand-named drugs.
The research suggests the Medicare Part D benefit design, which promotes cost-sharing and utilization management, may be an important tool for boosting the use of generic drugs in the program and saving money, particularly in high-cost regions, said Julie M. Donohue, Ph.D., associate professor of health policy and management and lead author of the study.
"Promoting the use of generics could greatly lower out-of-pocket costs for patients and save Medicare money. Lower costs could potentially lead to improved adherence to medication regimens, which in turn would lead to overall improvements in health," Dr. Donohue said.
Studies have shown that there are differences in Medicare drug spending across the United States, but until now the reasons behind those differences have not been well understood.
Dr. Donohue's team examined 2008 Medicare data for 4.7 million beneficiaries. In addition to studying overall medication use, they looked at three drug categories widely prescribed to the elderly: blood pressure medications, cholesterol-lowering statins and newer antidepressants. The data was analyzed across hospital referral regions and adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic and health status differences.
They found that mean adjusted per capita pharmaceutical spending ranged from $2,413 in the lowest hospital referral region to $3,008 in the highest. More than 75 percent of that difference was due to the cost per prescription ($53 versus $63). However, the data indicated differences in the role of volume versus cost depending on the drug class studied. For example, the cost per prescription was the most important factor for medications used to treat hypertension and high cholesterol while the differences in volume were more important in the costs of antidepressants.
"The preference to use antidepressants among the elderly may vary by region, which may account for some of the difference the research found in this drug class compared to the other two studied," Dr. Donohue said.
Collaborators on the study included Walid F. Gellad, M.D., M.P.H., and Joseph T. Hanlon, Pharm.D., M.S., both of the University of Pittsburgh; and Nancy E. Morden, M.D., M.P.H., Julie P. Bynum M.D., M.P.H., Weiping Zhou, Ph.D., and Jonathan Skinner, Ph.D., all of Dartmouth Medical School.
The study was supported by the National Institute on Aging through grant numbers P01AG019783, AG-07-001, P30AG024827, T32 AG021885, K07AG033174, R01AG034056, U01 AG012553 and R56AG027017; the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality through grant numbers R01HS017695, R01HS018721 and K12 HS019461; the National Institute of Nursing Research through grant number R01 NR010135; the National Institute of Mental Health through grant number R34 MH082682; the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through grant number 059491; and the Veterans Affairs Health Services Research and Development Service through grant numbers IIR-06-062 and CDA 09-207.

Don't listen to all the reports of economic doom and gloom. The good times are here again! How do we know? Because insane condo parties have returned.
Once a staple of the bubble, over-the-top parties tapered off when matters grew more pressing for developers than whether to serve white Champagne or rosé. You could almost hear the madness coming to a head when John Legend performed at an opening in the Financial District and Seal was doing a gig at another project uptown. On the same night. The Times called it a real estate battle of the bands.
With units disappearing and prices creeping up from not-so lows, we'll go ahead and say it: the housing market, at least in New York, is back. As if we needed a clearer indication of that, consider the opening party for the Mercedes House.
First off, consider the Mercedes House itself. A high-profile architect, Enrique Norten, built an unusually shaped building that zigzags up from the Hudson. There is a Mercedes dealership on the ground floor. The building, the first major Manhattan project by David and Jed Walentas' Two Trees Development, is named after this dealership. Let us repeat. The building is called the Mercedes House. The building is called the Mercedes House.
If that were not enough, the opening party will be hosted by former Nickelodeon darling Nick Cannon. Our favorite cabaretist and star spawn Alexa Ray Joel will be there, along with Rev. Run of Run DMC fame. Oh, and the chairman and the CEO of Mercedes. The food is by the chef at Danny Meyer's Modern, Gabriel Kreuther. A surprise musical guest is promised. Could it be Mr. Cannon's inimitable wife, Mariah Carey?
Pass the Champagne, would you?
Update: A point of clarification—the party is being hosted by Mercedes-Benz at their dealership, not by Two Trees at the condos. Still, we think the party, which is next Tuesday, speaks for itself.

Thailand's prime minister vows to work toward ending ivory trade
BANGKOK -- Facing the possibility of sanctions, Thailand's prime minister vowed for the first time Sunday to work toward ending her country's trade in ivory. But she gave no timeline for implementing a domestic ban, and conservationists warned that the unprecedented slaughter of elephants in Africa would continue until she does.
Thailand's internal ivory trade is currently legal, but wildlife groups say smuggled African tusks are mixed in with native stocks and that skyrocketing demand here is helping fuel the worst poaching crisis in sub-Saharan African in two decades.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra made the pledge during the opening meeting of the 178-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, in Bangkok.
She said her government would tighten local controls on Thailand's domestic ivory trade by systematically registering domestic elephants and ivory products. Then, "as a next step, we will work toward amending the national legislation with the goal of putting an end to (the) ivory trade and to be in line with international norms," she said.
However, Theerapat Prayurasiddhi, deputy director of Thailand's department of parks and wildlife, told The Associated Press there were no immediate plans to institute a domestic ban on ivory trading.
He said that could happen "step by step in the future -- maybe," but called it "the long-term goal." For now, the government will focus on boosting measures to tighten domestic trade controls and slow the flow of African ivory from entering Thai markets.
Theerapat said Thai traders had the right to buy or sell ivory obtained legally from domesticated stocks, and that taking those rights away could be tantamount to efforts to ban guns in the United States.
"You cannot change everything overnight," he said. "It's going to take time."
Asked how Thailand's legislation might be amended, Theerapat said there was a push to add African elephants to Thailand's own lists of protected species, a move that would allow law enforcement to impose higher fines and harsher jail terms on smugglers.
Carlos Drews, head of the World Wildlife Fund's delegation to CITES, welcomed Yingluck's pledge but said "the fight to stop wildlife crime and shut down Thailand's ivory markets is not over."
Yingluck "now needs to provide a timeline for this ban and ensure that it takes place as a matter of urgency, because the slaughter of elephants continues," Drews said.
Around 70 years ago, up to 5 million elephants are believed to have roamed sub-Saharan Africa. Today, just several hundred thousand are left. Last year, 32,000 elephants were killed on the continent, according to the Born Free Foundation, which says black-market ivory sells for around $1,300 per pound; much of it ends up as tourist trinkets.
Thailand is one of the world's top destinations for smuggled ivory -- second only to China, according to the wildlife monitoring network TRAFFIC. The group has called for CITES members to impose economic trade sanctions against Thailand, along with Nigeria and Congo, which would halt those nations' ability to trade in all 35,000 species regulated by the convention.
CITES banned the international ivory trade in 1989. But the move never addressed domestic markets like Thailand's, where trading remains legal as long as only ivory from domesticated elephants is involved.
Curbing the trade in "blood ivory" is at the top of the agenda during the global biodiversity conference, which lasts two weeks. Around 70 proposals are on the table, most of which will decide whether member nations increase or lower the level of protection on various species. These include polar bears, rays and sharks that are heavily fished for shark fin soup.
There are proposals, too, to regulate 200 commercially valuable timber species -- half from Madagascar -- and ban their trade unless it can be shown they were harvested legally and sustainably.
Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program, said up to 90 percent of the world's timber trade is illegal, a business worth at least $30 billion per year.
Illegal wildlife trafficking is also at crisis levels, and the world must clamp down hard to stop it or risk losing some of the planet's most iconic species, like elephants, he said.
"The backdrop against which this meeting takes place should be a very serious wakeup call for all of us," Steiner told some 2,000 delegates assembled at a convention center in the Thai capital.
Wildlife trafficking "in a terrible way has become a trade and a business of enormous proportions -- a billion-dollar trade in wildlife species that is analogous to that of the trade in drugs and arms," Steiner said. "This is not a small matter. It is driven by a conglomerate of crime syndicates across borders."
Prior to the establishment of CITES in 1973, there was no international regulation of the cross-border wildlife trade. CITES officials say their aim is not to outlaw the buying and selling of flora and fauna, but to ensure it remains sustainable as the world's population explodes.
CITES Director-General John Scanlon said the slaughter of African elephants and rhinos was among the group's greatest concerns. He said poachers, rebel militias and mafia-like crime syndicates that smuggle animal parts across borders could wipe the species out.
"This criminal activity poses a serious threat to the stability and economies of these countries. It also robs these countries of their natural heritage, their culture heritage, and it undermines good governance and the rule of law," Scanlon said. "These criminals must be stopped, and we need to prepare to deploy the sorts of techniques that are used to combat the trade in narcotics to do so."
"We know the way. We now need the collective will," Scanlon said. "Right here, right now in Bangkok is when we must come together to turn the tables on serious wildlife crime."

Because they are great for your video and make it look more popular.
We have the best prices and services better than a lot of service providers. Buying views shouldn't be your only strategy though and should be used in addition to these tips below:
Grow Your Subscriber Base
If there is one sure fire way to give your videos a little boost on Youtube then it is to have subscribers. A subscriber is somebody who will be alerted with an email every single time you upload a new video and their value should not be underestimated. Having somebody make that commitment to you is massive and channels with a couple of hundred subscribers is a great way to get your views up and if the video is good enough it should spread organically from those couple of hundred people to many others.
Tag And Describe Your Video Correctly
Although over the years Youtube has made every effort to improve video search most of the search is still done through text and tags. This means that you need to take lots of care when you are filling out your description and title and make sure to add as many relevant tags as you possibly can. Remember that Youtube is the second biggest search engine in the world after Google and that people could be searching for the content in your video right now so make sure you give them all they need to find it.
Thumbnails for those of you not familiar with the term are the little images that appear before you click through to a video. You can select which image appears on the back end of Youtube once your video has uploaded and it is vitally important that you select something that is going to entice people to click immediately. Remember that when people search on Youtube they will be presented with 100s of results so in order for your video to stand out it needs to be highly visible.
Embed The Video And Share Wherever You Can
This is a very obvious one but there is a good chance that most of your views are not going to come on YouTube itself but mostly from third party websites. You should certainly have the video on your own website or blog if relevant and make use of your social media profiles like Facebook and Twitter to get the video going. If you have any friends who might be willing to push it out for you that can work well and if you think the video might be relevant to another blogger or website there is no harm in asking if they would like to feature it.
Create Signposts Or Links To Your Video
The old saying that people use for websites "build it and they will come" rings very true for video as well (they won't actually come no matter how great you think your website/video is). There are millions of other pieces of content out on the web that are as good if not better than what you have produced so you are going to have to work at it and really spread the word about your video. Creating links and virtual "sign posts" to your video is going to be the key. You'll see a little subscribe button over on the right of our page here on the blog, the Youtube logo appears on all our email signatures and we link through from Facebook and Twitter and all our other social media profiles.
Leave Video Responses
This is one that works incredibly well but it does take time to implement. Basically any video that is out there on YouTube can have video responses left to it (you'll often see them along the bottom of the main video). You actually have to submit these yourself as a user and if the owner of the original video thinks that they are good enough they will allow it to appear as a video response. You will have to go through videos manually to find places where your video will have a chance of getting accepted but it's a great way to get you video in front of people in your niche who are clearly interested in a similar video and who might just click through to yours next. Again if you have followed the first step of effectively networking with other Youtube users then there is a good chance that plenty of people will accept your video response requests.
Make Friends And Network On Youtube
People think of Youtube as a place to watch videos but just like any of the other social networking sites there are plenty of ways to interact with other users and engage with the community. You'll need to start befriending people within your niche, sending them private messages and complimenting them on their own videos and leaving comments wherever relevant. This is a slow process and is very similar to leaving comments on other blogs to grow blog traffic and although it takes lots of time it is highly effective.
Add Annotations To Your Videos
So annotations are getting easier to add on Youtube and although the biggest fault the system has it that it doesn't let you link out to 3rd party sites (huge spam issues would arise) annotations do help you to grow subscribers. Have a look at the last 10 seconds of our video below and you'll see a couple of links to our own channel and to our "about us" video. Used correctly (and there are tons of creative ways in which you can do this) annotations are an easy way for you to quickly drive some new subscribers to your channel or views to other videos that might not have been getting so much traffic.
We are a small SEO agency based in Europe providing the highest standards of customer service delivering only high quality and affordable services. So Buy YouTube Accounts, Views, Likes and Subscribes.
We have started the company with couple of high school friends, while still in high school back in 2011. We have always had profound interest in the area of Internet Marketing and SEO, even back at the time when they were still rising on the horizon. Of course, we continue learning new things on a daily basis. SEO and Social Media Marketing areas are very rapidly evolving, so every day there is something new to explore and that is amazing.
What kind of services we offered back in 2011-2012?
In the beginning, we had no doubt that the company will make it. Doing what you love is easy and I guess we were too young and naive to think about failure. We started providing only Social Media Marketing services and growing our audience for different niches. Back then it was very easy to get new followers to social profiles and we still engage with them. After learning a lot of new things, in 2013 we started building blogs and websites for all of our niches and we got started with SEO, so that later we can provide services to our clients.
How did we achieve this?
It was not an easy task and we never thought that one day we will achieve this. Scaling up, dealing with a lot of orders and learning new things every day made us what we are now. But, the most important thing is that our core philosophy remains unchanged since day one.
Four essential factors needed to achieve success and positive feedback
- Delivering orders on time and providing outstanding customer support are the keys of our success.
- Social Media Marketing also helped us promote our services and reaching out to potential clients.
- Offering more services, while having unique designs, picture and videos also increases conversion rate and all sellers here should do the same.
We will also start a journey on the Community Discussion board and update daily on how it goes, what our goals will be and what exactly we will be doing to achieve them.
A big thank you to our Clients for trusting and helping us reach this milestone!

Bella Italia, SS2
>> Monday, October 27, 2008
Date: 27 October 2008
Venue: Pizzeria Bella Italia, SS2
Occasion: Dinner with Aaron
Overall comment: I've always liked dining at this place. The ambience is cosy & the food is delicious (they have quite a wide variety too) :) The service here is also friendly & most importantly, the prices of food is comparatively cheap!
I reckon I had a lovely dinner. I forgot it's a Monday when I decided to dine at Bella Italia (there's the famous SS2 night market a.k.a. pasar malam) & oh gosh...the traffic jam was just ergh...I don't like traffic jams :( I told God... "God, I need a parking space...right in front of the restaurant ya, God..."
Aaron thought I was siao (mad)...so specific some more...and you know what, I seriously got a parking space in front of the restaurant!! *faints* Ok...it's not directly in front, but it's 2 spaces from the 'directly in front' parking space...siaoness! I was truly siao at that time...overjoyed :P *joy*
What makes Ruth happy? When it comes to having a meal, I guess getting a good parking space + having delicious food + cosy ambience restaurant + warm company of people + interesting conversations/fellowship -> a happy Ruthie :P
Lasagne with minced beef (around RM16.80/serving)
If you're a cheese-lover like us, you'll love this dish...at first sight, it didn't look all that 'wow', but when we dug in & tasted it for ourselves, mmm....lovely! The lasagne was rich with cheese & comes with a generous amount of minced beef & tomato puree + herbs. I liked the tangy-sourish taste of the tomato puree...compliments the cheese & the lasagne on the whole very well :P It's not too filling, nor is it too 'jelak' (it means sated to the point of fed up)...but maybe it's because we shared this dish, so it felt 'just nice' :)
Spaghetti with braised lamb, mushrooms, & olives in tomato cream sauce (around RM24.80/serving)
I can't recall the name for this dish...it's some Spagheti Ale-something Bella Italia...hahaha...but this spaghetti is really good! Even Aaron who isn't much of a food critique found this yummy...the braised lamb was tender & the tomato cream sauce was just perfect in taste & texture, giving the humble spagheti an added value & plus points! *yay*

1 in 5 boys got HPV shot in first year recommended
A new report offers a first look at how many boys are getting shots designed to protect girls from cervical cancer. Health officials say the number getting vaccinated so far is a good start.
The HPV vaccine has only been recommended for boys for about two years, and rates are usually low at first for new vaccines. But the government report released Thursday shows about 1 in 5 adolescent boys got at least one of the three vaccine doses last year.
The vaccine protects against human papillomavirus, which can cause cervical cancer in girls and genital warts in both sexes. It was first recommended for girls but hasn't been all that popular. Health officials expect it to be a hard sell for boys, too.

ATLANTA - Police say they've charged a man with armed robbery and vehicle hijacking in the carjacking of an R&B singer in midtown Atlanta.
Authorities say singer Robert Wilson — known as Bobby V or Bobby Valentino — parked a red 2013 Bentley outside the Hot Beats Recording Studio Tuesday night and was approached by two armed robbers. Police say Wilson complied with the men and they drove away. The Bentley was later found abandoned at a commuter train station.
Police said Thursday that Robert Unrico McFarland was being held on charges including robbery and vehicle hijacking charges. Jail records do not list an attorney for McFarland. Police are searching for a second suspect.
Wilson had a hit with the 2005 song "Slow Down" and was featured on "Mrs. Officer" by Lil Wayne in 2008.

Cuando los episcopales hablan sobre el Movimiento de Jesús, a menudo las conversaciones siguientes son sobre evangelismo.

For strategic visioning to be successful, several steps need to be actively discerned. Involving all stakeholders from the start, creating a shared mission and vision and setting goals are just a few of these steps. Perhaps the most important is the first – leading with the Spirit and going where you are being called, often when it is inconvenient, difficult and time-consuming. In this issue we bring you ideas from individuals and congregations who were inspired, challenged and positively altered through their visioning processes.

Willow Smith has been photographed this week walking a cute little doggie that has pink ears and paws.
Smith, who will turn 12 on Hallowe'en, is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith and a celebrity in her own right. She's an actress (Kit Kittredge: An American Girl) and a singer, having released several singles including the deeply annoying Whip My Hair.
Miss Smith is also a role model for other young girls, so it would be better if she didn't have that dog with the pink ears and paws. That's dog abuse. Whether the dog was dyed with safe products isn't really the issue, if other kids follow suit using felt pens, paint or whatever they can find at home.
Dip-dying the dog -- try saying that quickly five times -- has been trending all year, and various celebs including JWOWW and model Alessandra Ambrosio have been spotted out and about with their pink and purple little doggies.
Emma Watson was seen with a pink dog several months ago but was quick to say it wasn't her animal. The dog had been dyed for a cancer charity event; as the dog was pink, you can be sure it was some colour-coded, rah! rah! event to raise money for women's cancer research. Let's not get started on that subject.
Kelly Osbourne was one of the first celebrities to dye her dog, a gesture that promoted a freak-out from PETA at the time. Osbourne had used food dye rather than human hair dye, so all was forgiven, but nonetheless, she turned her bulldog Piglet pink. It seems cruel for a couple of reasons to colour your dog's fur: First, it attracts attention from other people (which seems to be the point) and your dog may not welcome that.
Next, it makes your dog look and smell different to other dogs, and not in a good way. Nobody wants Fido or Rex to be snubbed at the off-leash park.
Finally, dying your dog makes you look like the sort of person who has run out of things to do and ideas to think about.
Paris Hilton started carrying tiny dogs around in her purse and that created a trend that was followed by people who believe a dog or cat to be an accessory.
People dress up their pets in doll clothes, mess with their fur and their toenails (Victoria Beckham once showed her bulldog with its toenails painted bright pink), give them stupid haircuts and force them to wear hair-bows and garish collars.
Some celebrities, of course, graduate from treating their pets like babies to treating their babies like pets, naming them weirdly and forcing them to dress funny when they go to the park.
They probably draw the line at dying baby's hair, though.
