'If the staffing levels and services offered in the health sector are not being expanded, it means the services will not be adequate for the growing population'
PIC: Mulago Hospital. There need for the Government to check the population growth rate in order for it to ably utilise the little money allocated to the health ministry
For Uganda to achieve good health for everyone, efforts must be made to prevent diseases and control population growth.
The call was made by a panel of experts in population health and planning during a public dialogue aimed at analysing the implications of the 2018/2019 health sector budget to the realisation of universal health coverage.
Kenneth Mugambe, the director of budgeting in the finance ministry, made his appeal loud and clear: "Confront the issue of population growth!" He said Uganda's population is growing at a rate of 3% every year.
This, noted Dr Ibrahim Kasirye, the principal research fellow at the Economic Policy Research Centre, means that more than one million people are added on to Uganda's population every year.
However, when it comes to the budget, it was noted that the sh2.3 trillion allocated to the health sector for this financial year is too little.
Dr. Christine Kirunga Tashobya from Makerere University School of Public Health, highlighted the fact that this constituted only 6.9% of the total budget. She added that this is way below the 15% that countries are required to commit to the health sector by the Abuja Declaration of 2007, which Uganda assented to.
Mugambe highlighted the fact that if the staffing levels and services offered in the health sector are not being expanded, it means the services will not be adequate for the growing population.
In addition, panellists noted that one of the major goals the health sector is currently working towards is the attainment of universal health coverage (UHC). UHC implies extending quality services to every citizen of Uganda, without financially impoverishing households as they access these health services. However, the panellists highlighted the fact that it was unfortunate that the country is talking long to implement it.
The dialogue was organised by Makerere University School of Public Health under their Supporting Policy Engagement for Evidence-based Decisions (SPEED) for Universal Health Coverage in Uganda. The project is funded by the European Union.
Explaining the importance of such a public dialogue, Prof. Freddie Ssengooba, the team leader for SPEED, explained that over the years, there has been a debate about the reducing budgetary allocations to the health sector. "There has been a lot of discussions about budget cuts and supplements; there has been reports of unmet needs and strikes, which all demonstrate challenges in the sector. However critical to the strikes was the need to increase wages and the equipment for the health workers. All these are issues to do with resource allocations at national and sectorial level."
Reliance on external financing
In addition to having little money dedicated to the health sector, reliance on external financing was also highlighted as a problem with our health financing as we move towards UHC. Over the years, a large percentage of Uganda's health sector budget has been financed by development partners and it is not any different this year where it constitutes 46%.
Panellists noted that although there are different sources of financing for the health sector (government funding, insurance, external/donor support, and out-of-pocket payments at the point of use), globally, public funding is considered key for facilitating equitable access to health services and progress towards UHC.
Going forward
Therefore, to get better (more) health for the little money allocated to the sector, panellists highlighted the need to control the population and to prevent diseases.
Prevention of diseases
All members of the public were urged to prevent diseases by adopting healthier lifestyles, feeding right and exercising to prevent noncommunicable disease, which are expensive to treat.
Proper planning and co-ordination required for efficiency
Julius Mukunda, the executive director for the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group, urged for proper planning and coordination among all the stakeholders so as to be efficient in service delivery. This was after panellists highlighted issues of expiry of drugs, NGOs duplicating their services in the communities and having idle infrastructure, such as theatres, because of lack specialised personnel to work there. Therefore, Mukunda called for proper coordination in the sector, for instance to prevent issues of mismatches between demand and supply of drugs, which leads to wastage. Improved coordination of donor funds was also called for so that donors can support sector plans more efficiently.
In addition, panellists also noted that proper monitoring is needed to fight corruption and absenteeism of health workers. It was also noted that it is important to ensure good value for the public resources allocated to the health sector. This requires paying a closer look at what priorities are being financed and whether they are central to achieving UHC.
As we move towards achieving UHC, policy makers were urged to work towards expanding services to more people, improve the quality of services and ensure that people are not impoverished. They noted that there is need to find solutions outside the box for issues affecting Uganda and to use technology to improve services, for example track drugs so that they are sent where they are needed so as to avoid unnecessary wastage.
There is need to equip lower facilities instead of building new ones.
Human resources for health
Dr. Sarah Byakika, the commissioner for planning in the ministry of health, said they acknowledge the fact that human resource continues to be a critical area in the health sector. She added that resources will continue to be committed to attract, motivate, retain, train and develop human resource.

Therapy using creative techniques: art, drama and movement
Some therapies, such as art therapy or drama therapy, incorporate creative techniques that can support you to organise and express your emotional experience. It's not always easy to find the words to express yourself, but these therapies can help you communicate emotions that may otherwise be difficult to verbalise.
You do not need to have experience or skill in art or drama to participate in or benefit from this type of therapy. Your therapist will not criticise any creative work you produce during therapy sessions. Arts and drama therapy are more about the emotions you express and feel throughout the process.
Therapy using creative techniques is not just for people who naturally use image and metaphor in the way they think about their life. It can also benefit people who find themselves stuck in their head, or rigid in the way they perceive life. Expressive work can support you to find new viewpoints and solutions to make a significant change in your life.
Therapy using the arts could involve postcards, paint, sand-trays, movement or writing, though always as an invitation rather than an obligation when your therapist thinks it may support your work together.
A number of our therapists are highly trained in using the arts, or drama and movement within therapy. Art and drama therapy can help you:
- Express yourself in metaphor and symbol, which can feel safer, less constrictive and more vivid than just communicating with words
- Help you access more hidden aspects of your self and your experience
- Acknowledge and deal with complicated or conflicting feelings by allowing you to express different parts of your experience in one place, for example, the blank page or the sand-tray, allowing you to explore and understand your feelings more easily
- Enable you to experiment with the various ways you want to 'be' in the world
- Increase your sense of confidence, self-esteem and potential in life.

Longer Wait Times, Rationing and Higher Mortality Rates are the Inevitable Outcome of National Health Care
Week in Review
The American left wants national health care. Just like the British have. In their National Health Service (NHS). But when critics say national health care will lead to longer wait times and health care rationing the left says balderdash. Despite what's happening in the NHS (see Hospital discharges: figures highlight impact of delays by Adam Brimelow posted 11/22/2013 on BBC News Health).
Last month the number of days "lost" by patients who needed the beds was the highest for more than three years.
Senior doctors working in accident and emergency departments say it is a major cause for concern…
"The delays are a key cause of overcrowding in emergency departments, which is associated with higher mortality," he said…
A spokesman for the Local Government Association said councils had worked hard to protect social care services from the full impact of cuts, but added: "Unless local government finance is put on a sustainable footing, social care will remain substantially underfunded and services will suffer as a result."
A shortage of hospital beds led to longer wait times in moving patients out of emergency departments and into a hospital bed. Leading to higher mortality rates. Which means longer wait times and rationing have caused more people to die. This isn't balderdash. This is the inevitable outcome of national health care. And the inevitable outcome of Obamacare.
As the Affordable Care Act rollout continues to crash and burn the Obama administration will soon be saying we tried fixing our health care problems the private health insurance route and failed. Proving that the problem is the health insurance companies. And the only way to fix this problem is with a single-payer system. Or a true national health care system. Like the NHS. It's coming. Because it's been the plan all along.

Don Groves is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney.
Brian Rosen and Su Armstrong's Australian film production company Tree is taking root in North America. The producers plan to start shooting 33 Liberty Lane, a comedy starring Emily Watson, Sandra Oh, Melora Hardin and Nia Vardalos, in Winnipeg in February, and they're developing Doll, a U.S. romantic drama, with Chartoff Productions' Lynn Hendee. Englishman Peter Hewitt (Garfield, The Maiden Heist) will direct Liberty Lane from a script by Canadian-born Australian resident Stephen Ayres. The plot follows four down-on-their-luck women who turn to phone sex as a way to make a quick buck and enlist the help of a hooker (not yet cast). Sales agent LevelK has negotiated presales worth $700,000 to Canada (Union Pictures), Russia and other territories, Rosen tells Deadline. Tree is co-producing with Phyllis Laing's Winnipeg-based Buffalo Gal Pictures. Doll is the saga of an up-and-coming female singer who's losing her hearing but finds a way to keep performing. It's scripted by Aussie Campbell Graham from a story by Graham and Mark Maclaine. Armstrong showed the script to Hendee, whom she'd known since they worked on the Dolly Parton comedy Straight Talk in 1992 when Armstrong was a production executive with Hollywood Pictures, and Hendee agreed to co-produce. No director is aboard yet. Tree's Around the Block, an Australian feature which stars Christina Ricci as an American drama teacher who reaches out to a troubled Aboriginal teenager played by The Sapphires' Hunter Page-Lochard, is in post-production.

My Blog__ When Did This Become Hotter Than This?
I'm team Bettie, Shirley, Elizabeth and Marilyn all the way
Yah, this has been floating around and you've probably already seen someone post it on their Facebook wall, followed by an onslaught of statements like "hell ya" but seriously--when did this become hotter than this? And who really thinks this is hot? I'd like to know. And why do we as a society keep feeding (not literally, of course) this kind of image? And how do we make it stop?

To prevent 100 photos in this blog I am just gonna skip all the pre game stuff and get right to the action.
My last few Super Bowls I didn't really get too many touchdown plays coming my way. Thankfully Super Bowl XLVII would be a much better game for me.
Baltimore would be first on the board courtesy of former Arizona Cardinals star Anquan Boldin.
Face mask anyone?
The first half would be all Baltimore.
I love the below shot with random dead cheerleader falling from the roof…
Halftime would feature a concert by superstar performer Beyonce.
The second half didn't start the way the 49ers had hoped as the Ravens would score yet again.
And then the lights went out!
The emergency flood lights over the field would quickly turn on.
After about 10 minutes I started to get concerned about the game having to be postponed to the next day. How much would that have sucked!
One good thing about the blackout is it produced some interesting light for photos.
The referees quickly determined the lights that had turned off.
After a 33 minute delay, the game would get back to action.
In the digital camera age it can be very hard to avoid the temptation to quickly look on the back of your camera after shooting a play. Doing that can make you miss moments after a play that can make for good photos.
A good example is the below shot of Ted Ginn Jr pushing past a photographer which made for an interesting photo.
After the lights turned off, the 49ers offense turned on.
One shot that I had hoped to get was a Kaepernicking pose shot. Boom got it!
This was my first football game shooting with the Canon 1Dx and I gotta say that the camera did a great job of keeping up with the fast paced action.
In the previous Super Bowls I shot from the field, it was a free for all once the clock hit zero. You would have a few hundred photographers/videographers and television crews all running to the game winning quarterback. While it was always fun for me because I can run fast and beat most people to the player, it certainly had scary moments that made me wonder how long the NFL would allow it to continue occurring.
For this years game there was a new policy in play. Instead of allowing everyone onto the field right at the end, the NFL would only allow about 10% of the photographers immediate access. The rest of photographers would have to wait for two minutes before being allowed on the field.
Luckily I was one of the fortunate few to get immediate access to the field.
As soon as the clock hit zero it was game on as I had to run at full speed with two cameras on my shoulder and try and find Joe Flacco.
As I ran looking for Flacco I would shoot blindly with my wide angle camera.
I would find Flacco and be the first still photographer on the scene… a personal goal I always set for myself.
At first I thought they'd dog pile Flacco on the ground . Thankfully they changed their mind and instead picked up the game MVP.
After spending about a minute shooting Flacco I had to push my way through the scrum of photographers now surrounding him and go find more players to shoot celebrating.
Finding Ray Lewis was certainly a priority following Flacco.
There he is!
Flacco and Lewis would eventually find each other and share a moment together.
I will always regret not photo bombing the below shot. Would have been EPIC!
And this shiny piece of metal is why players beat the hell out of each other!
After several minutes shooting celebration shots on the field I headed back into the media room to relax. I was beat!
After about two minutes in the media room an editor would tell me to go shoot in the Ravens locker room.
I shot in the locker room back in 2007 when the Boston Red Sox won the World Series. I was expecting a similar level of celebration in the Ravens locker room but it was actually a pretty calm place.
With all the media demand for the stars of the game, players would be led away to the interview room and would be gone for well over an hour. There was never a moment of the coach and team in the room together holding the trophy.
Despite the fact that it wasn't how I planned, I am a pro and did my best to find some shots that would be good.

And that wraps up Super Bowl number five for me. Can't wait for next years winter edition in New York!
Awesome shots !!!! You always do such a great job with your view of covering any sport and the way you cover the field. I truly enjoy your post! Congrats!

Update: Consultation process on domestic competitions
- Tweet
Over the last twelve months England Hockey has been working with a group of clubs on the future of the highest levels of domestic hockey from a quality of delivery, financial sustainability and competition structure perspective.
Following this, there has been a period of consultation with stakeholders specifically on the top levels of domestic competition in England. England Hockey would like to record thanks to all those who contributed to the review and the consultations.
The project came about as a result of:
1. Increasing calls from clubs to review the current England Hockey League structure that has now been in place for ten years.
2. The international Hockey Pro League starting in January 2019 that will directly impact the availability of international players during the domestic season.
3. A desire on behalf of England Hockey (and clubs) to narrow the gap between the top level of the domestic game and international hockey. This is with a desire for domestic hockey to strongly contribute to systemic, sustainable and repeated international top 3 success.
On 11 June 2017 it was announced that England/Great Britain Men's and Women's teams would be in the Hockey Pro League (starting in January 2019). Following this announcement, work on the competition model for the domestic game has been accelerated to ensure that any implications for the 2017-18 season are clear to all before the season starts.
As such, the proposals for the National League were shared in a consultation paper in August 2017 with all England Hockey League clubs, Regional Premier League clubs, Regional Leagues, Regional Associations, international players / coaches, and National and Regional officiating bodies.
During the consultation 50 people attended face to face consultations in August and there were 77 responses from different organisations to an online survey. This feedback has been extremely helpful to understand what are the appealing and concerning aspects of the proposals.
Overall there was a positive response to the majority of what was proposed with detailed and considered feedback on some of the finer details. A summary of the responses to the review will be made available to all those who have contributed.
The England Hockey board met this week and agreed that the direction of travel of change is correct but there are some revisions that require further engagement with some of our stakeholders. The following has been agreed:
- The principle of a two-phase league season for the top of the league structure was supported.
- Clubs will play in a National League between January and April / May. This will qualify teams for a 'best v best' competition between September and December.
- International players will be available to play for clubs in the 'best v best' competition (outside of their international commitments).
- More consultation is required on some parts of the proposals, specifically with stakeholders where there is an interface with the England Hockey Leagues e.g. Regional Leagues and Officiating bodies. This consultation work will begin immediately.
- No changes will be made until the 2019-20 season and therefore there are no implications for finishing positions for clubs in the 2017-18 season.
As discussions on the details progress England Hockey will communicate further information before Christmas 2017.
If you wish to see the initial proposals or discuss this further please contact email@example.com

Kerri Pottharst is Australia's most decorated Indoor and Beach Volleyball player, having represented her country for an incredible 20 years. Renowned for being one of the fiercest competitors in the world of Volleyball, Kerri is now also known for being a successful inspirational speaker and presenter, entrepreneur and published author.
She brings her hard-earned skills of leadership, teamwork, communication and more to Australia's corporate audiences with unforgettable tales that combine motivational messages with fun - and the rare experience of networking one on one with an Olympic hero!
When Kerri took up volleyball at the age of 15, she hadn't yet dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion. In 1992 a sickening knee injury should have ended her career, but in her typical no-nonsense style, Kerri recovered late in 1993, changed her goals to Beach Volleyball and then went on to compete in 3 Olympic Games and win two Olympic medals - Bronze at Atlanta and then the Gold against Brazil during the Sydney 2000 Games. As testament to Kerri's abilities, since 1994 she has never been out of the top 10 and rarely out of the top six in International Beach Volleyball events.
Having retired from International level competition, Kerri's Golden journey continues as she now shares her Gold Medal Excellence strategies with corporate audiences to inspire them on their own journey to success. She works closely with her audiences, delivering inspirational presentations (that can be followed with a fun session of beach volleyball) and weaving important messages of teamwork, skill, trust, relationship building, leadership and communication into an unforgettable day that will deliver tangible results.
Using entertaining anecdotes from her experiences as a competitor, and as a regular commentator at the Olympic Games and other sporting events, Kerri motivates and inspires her audiences to overcome their fears and self doubts, to set goals and to push through the barriers to achieve them. An expert at reinventing herself time and time again, Kerri can relate to the constant need to deal with a changing world to stay successful and reach even greater goals.
Kerri's unique message is as relevant to high level executives as it is to more junior teams, as reflected by her skills in coaching staff at all levels to work together as a cohesive and effective team. Her in-depth research and preparation ensures the content is relevant and specific to each audience, every time, A consummate professional and experienced presenter, she is as quick-thinking on her feet now as she was on the courts.
Amongst Kerri's many skills is her innate ability to connect with the audience in a way that is warm, authentic, and most importantly, relatable. The same strategies that took her to Gold are easily adapted by audiences to achieve their own corporate and personal goals.
For many, the two highlights of Kerri's presentations are the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for audiences to hold her Olympic Gold medal for themselves, and the Walk of Courage - the chance for them to push their personal boundaries by walking on broken glass.
Both unique experiences reinforce Kerri's inspiration for everyone to become a champion in their own right.
Not only is Kerri a passionate and exceptional sportswoman, her power to motivate and challenge the everyday person through her speaking engagements is outstanding. Her style and approachability is fabulous and for those that accepted the challenge of walking on glass - they have a memory to last forever.AMP
Thanks so much for sharing your journey of "Turning Bronze into Gold. The team were definitely inspired by your personal story of achievement and really enjoyed playing beach volleyball with an Olympic gold medallist. I personally found it to be a great session and surprised myself by walking on broken glass ... twice! Then having the whole of the Westpac Risk Leadership Team walk on broken glass is something I thought would never happen.The Westpac Group
Kerri's presentation was sensational and the combination of her talk with the glass walking worked perfectly. Her preparation and understanding of our current issues was also sensational. An incredible experience with a lasting impact.Proctor And Gamble

(Featured Image: The Dôme's building, near the train station, will host the incubator in 2018 / Image Credit © Silicon Luxembourg)
The Luxembourg City Incubator will become part of the future House of Start-Ups, a project initiated by the Chamber of Commerce, which will open its doors in early 2018 in the heart of the capital and aims to house between 150 and 200 innovative start-ups from multiple sectors, both national and international, in a 4,200 square meter facility.
[Total_Soft_Poll id="2″]
The Luxembourg City Incubator will provide support to start-ups from a variety of sectors, such as creative industries and social and female entrepreneurship. Accelerator and management services will be provided by nyuko a.s.b.l, which will migrate its activities from the Rue de Hollerich to the new premises of the House of Start-Ups. The main objective of the Luxembourg City Incubator project is to support the "incubator" component, that is to guarantee support in terms of accommodation, advice and training of start-ups during the initial stages of their initiative, to promote their development in the best possible conditions.
The LHoFT – Luxembourg House of Financial Technology – which will move from Kirchberg to the House of Start-Ups, will continue its role of welcoming and accompanying companies from the FinTech sector as well as its Awareness / Use of new technologies in the Luxembourg financial sector.
With this joint project, the Ville de Luxembourg intends to confirm its role as a dynamic and open capital within Europe while promoting the emergence of new business models in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Chamber of Commerce, in installing its future House of Start-Ups in the heart of the capital, is continuing its efforts to promote entrepreneurship, continuing with the House of Entrepreneurship and thus complementing the ecosystem current. In addition, this partnership will enable the Chamber of Commerce to expand its services in the heart of the City of Luxembourg and to remain as close as possible to the needs of companies and project promoters.

If you are looking for a high quality telescope, pair of binoculars, or basically anything to do with optics, you have likely come across Meade products. Meade is the largest telescope manufacturer in the world. They have many options, so reading Meade telescope reviews is vital.
Among the many telescope companies, Meade is also one with quite a bit of history under their belt. Founded in 1972, the company has had lots of time to perfect their optical instruments. There are many totally valid reasons they have remained on the top of the heap of companies.
Since the options are far reaching for Meade products, buyers need to be willing to shop around a bit and do their research. After determining what you are looking for, make sure to read the follow list of Meade telescope reviews thoroughly to ensure you end up with the perfect item.
How to choose the best Meade telescope:
The first thing to consider when choosing the best Meade telescope are your particular needs. For instance, those looking to stargaze primarily will need different specifications than those looking primarily to birdwatch. Know what you are planning on doing with the telescope before buying.
Secondly, make sure you have decided on a budget for your telescope. Meade telescopes are not all expensive, but their price range is quite wide. Their many different models come with a variety of bells and whistles. Knowing your price range certainly helps to narrow your options.
The third thing to consider when choosing the best Meade telescope is the frequency of use you expect. If you plan on only using the telescope occasionally, purchasing a less high quality one will likely be fine. If you are an avid telescope user, though, you will want a higher quality one.
What to look for in a good Meade telescope:
The things you should look for in a good Meade telescope are largely the same as those you would look for in any telescope. First, the image quality should be near the top of your list. No matter the other features a telescope has, it is largely useless without a good quality image.
Secondly, look for a durably constructed Meade telescope. While less expensive telescopes tend to be a little less durable, you can still find a great, long-lasting option. Make sure to read the following reviews carefully. Having a telescope that lasts for years is worth a little extra cost.
Finally, look for a Meade telescope that is easy to assemble and use. While tons of features and specifications can seem alluring at first, it can lead to extended fiddling which eats up your time for actually using the telescope. Make sure your choice will not frustrate you when you use it.
Meade Instruments 216005 Polaris 127 EQ Reflector Telescope:
If you are looking for a good, solid, mid-price range option, the Meade Instruments 216005 Polaris 127 EQ Reflector Telescope is an excellent choice. While it is not the least expensive Meade telescope on this list, it is certainly affordable for most beginning telescope users.
One nice thing about this telescope is that it comes with a variety of eye pieces to attach and change the magnification power. The telescope comes with a low, medium, and high magnification eye piece as well as two Barlow lenses which increase the power even further.
The construction of this telescope is also quite good, especially given its affordability. The whole telescope is constructed from heavy duty materials that can take a good amount of use over time. Also, the tripod mimics the good build of the scope while staying fairly lightweight and portable.
Unfortunately, the Meade Instruments 216005 Polaris 127 EQ Reflector Telescope is not perfect. One area where it could use some improvement is in the additional lenses. Though they are a nice addition, the build quality is not up to the standard of the telescope as a whole unfortunately.
Another issue is that the viewfinder tends to shift slightly after you set it all up. This means the item you were trying to focus on may not stay in the center of your field of visions for very long. While this is not the end of the world, it can be annoying to lose your target with any frequency.
Meade Instruments LightBridge Mini 130 Telescope, White (203003):
The Meade Instruments LightBridge Mini 130 Telescope is a great choice for those wanting a telescope but lacking the space they often require. At just over two feet in length, it can be placed wherever you have an open space. Also, it is a tabletop scope, eliminating the need for a stand.
One especially nice feature of this telescope is that it can be rotated three hundred and sixty degrees. This gives it more versatility than other tabletop models which need to be moved and setup in different locations to change angles. It does also have a locking feature for set directions.
This telescope is really made to be easy and fast to use, too. Once you have it set up on a good surface, it should take less than a minute to find and focus on planets in the night sky. The additional lenses included are also extremely easy to affix and use, even for the newest beginner.
One area where the Meade Instruments LightBridge Mini 130 Telescope could use some improvement is in certain areas of the construction. While the telescope itself is durably made and well-constructed, the screws holding it all together strip quickly and need to be replaced.
The included lenses also do leave a bit to be desired, too. While they are simple and fast to affix to the telescope, the quality is fairly low on all of them. The main telescope itself, however, is well made with good image quality, so purchasing a different set of lenses will work just fine.
Meade Instruments Infinity 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope:
If you are looking for something even more affordable than the previous two options, the Meade Instruments Infinity 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope is a solid choice. This telescope also incorporates a slow motion control rod which lets you track objects across the sky with ease.
Another nice addition to this telescope is that it comes with software and an instructional DVD to teach you about astronomy and how to use the telescope. Written directions can be confusing, so this helps. Also, beginners will learn more about the stars than they would by just looking.
While many less expensive stargazing telescopes invert and reverse the image produced (you likely would not notice by looking at the sky), this one does not. This means the telescope can be used easily during the day as well. Plus, watching meteor showers will be less disorienting too.
Though it has many things to recommend it, the Meade Instruments Infinity 70mm AZ Refractor Telescope does have some drawbacks. One such issue comes from its lightweight status. Since it is so light, wind or bumps make the image wobbly and unstable. This leads to unclear images.
Like the previous option, the included lenses also pose a problem for this telescope. Some versions of this telescope come with lenses that are the incorrect size or threading for the scope itself. This means that they cannot be affixed to the telescope and it renders them mostly useless.
Meade Instruments ETX80 Telescope
If you are looking for an excellent choice available in the UK, the Meade ETX80 Goto Telescope Tabletop System is the way to go. It is definitely more on the pricey side of the spectrum, but it is well worth the price. It is battery operated too so no need for cord and outlets.
The main concern with battery operated telescopes is the battery lifetime. It would be very disappointing to get a telescope that was only useable for a couple hours before needing a charge. Luckily, this telescope's battery last for about twenty hours of consistent use.
The "go to" function of this telescope is also quite a nice feature. This feature allows you to input the target location and the telescope automatically finds it in the night sky for you. Additionally, the included lenses and Barlow lens are all good quality, a rare fact amount the options available.
Though it has many great features, the Meade ETX80 Goto Telescope Tabletop System is not without its issues. For one thing, the aperture (meaning, how much light gets through) is relatively low at 80mm. This makes nighttime stargazing a bit more difficult and darker overall.
A second issue comes from the setup of the "go to" feature itself. While it works pretty well when it is set up properly, setting it up can be difficult and a bit confusing. Also, in low temperatures, the battery power is decreased significantly, making the scope function poorly.
Meade Instruments ETX80 Observer Achromatic Refractor Telescope with Adjustable Field Tripod, Eyepieces and Deluxe Backpack (205002):
If you are willing to pay for a more expensive telescope, the Meade Instruments ETX80 Observer Achromatic Refractor Telescope is another excellent choice. The benefit of an achromatic telescope is that it corrects for any chromatic aberrations on the produced image.
This telescope is also fairly portable as far as high strength telescopes go. At under ten pounds in weight, it is relatively easy to transport the telescope from point A to point B with you. Also, the tripod and telescope compress down to a small size and fit into an included backpack for travel.
The included additional lenses, like the previous option, are also quite good. It seems that as the price for the scope goes up, so does the quality of the included pieces. Another nice feature of the lenses is that they are standard sized and threaded, meaning you can add more as you buy them.
Though the compressible tripod can be nice for travel, unfortunately, it leaves a lot to be desired for the Meade Instruments ETX80 Observer Achromatic Refractor Telescope. The telescope itself is too heavy for the lightweight tripod, leading to significant instability and lots of wobbles.
Also, switching between the flip Barlow lenses can be a major hassle with this telescope. In order to see clearly, you have to spend a lot of time refocusing every time you flip magnifications. This can be frustrating and time consuming when you really want to stargaze.
Meade Instruments LightBridge 16-Inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope, Open Truss - Black (1645-05-03):
The Meade Instruments LightBridge 16-Inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope is one of the most expensive Meade telescopes for sale. Though the price tag is certainly steep, the quality is quite outstanding. With a 16-inch aperture, it produces bright, high quality images at all times.
The design of the telescope itself also definitely sets it apart from the competition and other options on this list. This telescope has an open truss design with anti-reflection coatings on the trusses and castings. This means more light can get to the lenses, allowing for crisp images.
Despite its innovative and unusual design, this telescope is actually fairly simple to set up and operate even for beginners. It comes with very detailed setup and use instructions, so getting this telescope up and running is extremely straightforward. You can use it right when you receive it.
Though it is top of the line in many regards, the Meade Instruments LightBridge 16-Inch Truss Tube Dobsonian Telescope does have some drawbacks. For one thing, it is very heavy. Coming in at about ninety pounds in weight, it is truly meant to live in a single place or be on wheels.
Another setback for this telescope is the friction knob for the roller bearing. This is the piece that keeps the telescope in place one you have adjusted it. The friction knob does not provide quite enough stability. This means the telescope tends to sink by about three or four inches after setup.
Meade Instruments Personal Solar Telescope:
Though not nearly as pricey as the previous option, the Meade Instruments Personal Solar Telescope is another high-end option Meade telescope for sale. The price tag may seem daunting at the beginning, but it takes special lenses to look at solar events without damaging your sight.
The weight of this telescope is also a very nice feature that adds to its function well. It is a hand held telescope, so it is important to keep the item on the lighter side. While weighing four pounds will certainly get tiring, it is about as lightweight as can be for its intended purpose.
Although it is designed to be hand held and it does not come with a tripod, one nice bonus feature is that this telescope is compatible with a standard camera tripod. This means you do not need to make an extra purchase specifically for the telescope should you want to use a tripod.
Though it has many great features to recommend it, the Meade Instruments Personal Solar Telescope does have some shortcomings. For one thing, the "sweet spot," meaning the spot through which the sun is visible, is very small. It takes some time to line it all up properly.
Those looking to do solar photography using this scope may also encounter some difficulties. Because the "sweet spot" is so small and the telescope itself is pretty narrow, it is extremely difficult to get a photo lined up correctly. It can be done, but it takes a long time to figure it out.
Meade Instruments ETX90 Observer Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope with Tripod, Eyepieces, and Hand Carry Case (205004):
The Meade Instruments ETX90 Observed Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope is another great option in the same general price range as the previous telescope. It includes multi-coated optics, as well. This leads to brighter colors and less reflection for a much better image quality overall.
This telescope is also quite heavy duty and durable, even compared to the most expensive options on this list. Weighing in at about thirty four pounds, the telescope is quite heavy and sturdy. Also, the tripod is well made and constructed from heavier, more durable materials.
This telescope also has an automatic finder scope. This means you can pinpoint a target easily and without much work and effort. For beginners, this is an especially nice feature. It takes a fair amount of the guesswork out of the process of locating your targeted focal point in the sky.
Despite its many great qualities, however, the Meade Instruments ETX90 Observer Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope does have some disadvantages. One such issue is that it is battery powered. Because of its many bells and whistles, batteries need replacing before the twenty hour mark.
Another issue comes from the manual adjustments needed to properly focus and utilize all the features to their fullest advantage. Even for a seasoned telescope user, the adjustments for this telescope can be confusing. It takes some significant time to familiarize yourself with its details.
Meade 12-Inch LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope:
The Meade 12-Inch LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope is the highest end and highest price tagged telescope for sale on this list. The price tag, however, means it comes with a litany of wonderful and helpful feature not available it less expensive models on the market right now.
Like a previous option on this list, this telescope also comes with the "go to" feature, but it incorporates some other features with it. For instance, it uses Meade's AutoStarll menus which offer a range of destinations pre-programmed in. Just select one and let the scope find it easily.
This telescope also has a very large aperture, which allows lots of light to reach the optics. What this does for the image quality is quite noticeable. Regardless of whether you are viewing subjects during the day or stargazing, the images are bright, crisp, and clear consistently.
Even the top quality telescopes such as the Meade 12-Inch LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope do have some setbacks, however. One such downside of this telescope is the weight. At over seventy five pounds, this is likely not a portable option by any stretch of the imagination.
Another issue comes from the computer adaptability. While the telescope should be able to connect with a regular computer via the Seral to USB adaptor, it takes a long time to get the software set up. Also, it is difficult to work through the functionality of the computer software.
Meade Instruments 12-Inch LX90-ACF (f/10) Advanced Coma-Free Telescope:
If you are comparing the highest end Meade telescopes for sale, the Meade Instruments 12-Inch LX90-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope is another great option in the running. The coma-free optics improves the optics exponentially by eliminating the chromatic aberrations totally.
The optics also have an ultra-high transmission coating on them. This means that, combined with the coma-free feature, the image quality is high quality and colored correctly. No matter the light levels in your viewing environment, the image quality will be clear, crisp, and brightly colored.
This telescope also combines the Meade "go to" feature with the Audiostar controller to make the usability even more beginner friendly. The Audiostar controller stores audio files and an internal feature filled with educational information and even guided tours of the night sky.
Like the other high end telescopes on this list, the Meade Instruments 12-Inch LX90-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope, despite its many pluses, does have some issues. For instance, like other options, it is about seventy five pounds in weight, making moving it quite difficult.
The included tripod also presents some quality control issues for this telescope. For an expensive telescope, a less than ideal tripod is rather disappointing. The tripod is a bit shaking and not the most stable tripod available. You need a strong tripod for a heavy duty, heavy weight telescope.
Conclusion and verdict:
At the end of the day, there are a large number of excellent Meade telescopes for sale at a variety of price points and feature levels. Finding the best Meade telescope largely depends on what you are looking for and what features you will need for your desired use and experience level.
While the number of options on the market can be daunting and a bit intimidating, there is truly a Meade telescope available for everyone. Make sure to determine your needs and price range before shopping, however. Telescopes can get pricey quickly. Make sure you have a budget.
Really, the first step in finding the best Meade telescope for you is reading Meade telescope reviews. Reading through the list above is a great way to find out what is available on the market and what features appeal to you in your price range. You will end up with something you love.

Satbroadband service coverage
Please specify your location
Easy way to know about coverage in your country
High Speed Satellite Internet
Satellite communication is used in areas where the Internet is not available and the sites that are moving frequently are connected to the satellite available in the whole world. Including ships in the sea, land and mobile vehicles.

The customer connects to the Internet using optical fiber and we use the acceleration and simulation technology to increase the Stability and speed.
Short brief the idea of satellite Internet services
For those who are interested everywhere and who are not able to access the Internet services and want to find the appropriate alternative is the Satellite Internet systems are independent alternatives that provide two-way broadband via a small antenna from anywhere to the extreme regions of the North and South Poles. There are more than 302 communications satellites in fixed orbit around the Earth
satellite positioned above the Equator can cover from South Africa to Europe and from the Middle East to the Maghreb. The satellite ka band beam directed at certain areas, coverage areas of many satellites in the section dedicated to our site. In general, small concentric coverage packages can be received using small SATBROADBAND Vsat Antenna IQ the stronger the coverage in an area, the smaller the size of the Vsat Antenna used and vice versa
Terms of use
The satellite Internet system uses high-speed digital communication via satellite (SATBRO VSAT ) to the backbone of the Internet Backbone, moving data from the client's system to the satellite and then to the teleport to redirect it to the Internet. Customers using dual Internet access over the satellite connection to the Internet through a system consisting of a sending and receiving dish, a BUC = Block Up-Converter, an LNB = Low Noise Block, a down-converter, and a special signal modulator The diameter of the dish is between 60 cm to 3.7 m.

Time to Build, Option Value, and Investment Decisions
Many investment projects have the following characteristics: (i) spending decisions and cash outlays occur sequentially over time, (ii) there is a maximum rate at which outlays and construction can proceed -- it takes "time to build," and (iii) the project yields no cash return until it is actually completed. Furthermore, the pattern of investment outlays is usually flexible,and can be adjusted as new information arrives. For such projects traditional discounted cash flow criteria, which treat the spending pattern as fixed, are inadequate as a guide for project evaluation. This paper develops an explicit model of investment projects with these characteristics, and uses option pricing methods to derive optimal decision rules for investment outlays over the entire construction program. Numerical solutions are used to demonstrate how time to build, opportunity cost, and uncertainty interact in affecting the investment decision. We show that with moderate levels of uncertainty over the future value of the completed project, a simple NPV rule could lead to gross over-investment. Also, we show how the contingent nature of the investment program magnifies the depressive effect of increased uncertainty on investment spending.

What Is Astral Projection
Astral projection is the out-of-body experience that's real. Astral projection happens rarely if you don't want it to, but in some cases has occurred. The main reason or cause of astral projection is meditation. Meditating takes you to a state when your soul slowly starts coming out of your body. I know it may sound weird but it is true. Long periods of meditation cause astral projection your soul slowly starts to leave your body and you actually feel all of this.
Once your soul has left your body you are free to go anywhere you want to. There is no limit and i mean no limit to where you can go. Anyplace on earth your soul can travel to and if you want to came back your soul is still connected to your body worth a silver cord. A sliver cord is the only reason that your connected to your soul. Some people astral project while sleeping and it can become like an instinct which could be bad.
Chakras are the main spiritual points in the body as shown below these are the parts that you have but cannot see. Once you meditate your souls starts to move out of these chakras and is ready to leave. The mind chakra could be by far the hardest this is where you keep your thoughts and sometimes could become an obstacle if your souls trying to leave it could be to strong and not let your soul leave. More focused meditation may clear this up.
Body's Chakras
Cautions And Tips
Be very carefull while you're doing this though. The main danger however is the human fear. Fear holds us back, and once we get scared we don't want to do it again. You must control your fear and nothing bad can happen. Some of the main and most asked questions are.
- Can my body get possessed while im away: No the only way for this to happen is if you invite the demon in to your body.
- Are there demons out there: Yes I wont lie there are but like I said dont invite them or do anything about them if you need help you might want to call upon someone like God.
- Can my sliver cord get cut: No your silver cord is very strong and demons cannot just cut it.
- Is it possible to die during projection: Yes but the only way is if someone kills your physical body.

Video For many musicians, going out to the local jam and playing with friends is their primary, if not only musical outlet. The goal of Andy Aledort's Jam Night series is to broaden your skills as both a rhythm guitarist and soloist, with specific instruction directed within the scope of standard, tried-and-true open jam night songs.Each volume of the series includes 10 of the most popular songs played at open jams, all over the world on a nightly basis. The Jam Night series will help you develop your rhythm guitar and soloing chops while teaching you a variety of ways to navigate through popular music's most common song progressions and stylings.Jam Night: Volume 2 is designed with specific musical styles presented in pairs: two songs in the classic Soul/R&B style, two songs in the Rock 'n' Roll style of the Rolling Stones, two songs structured in the style of classic Chicago Blues, two Jimi Hendrix-type song progressions and two examples representative of a Reggae style.The progressions and grooves are patterned after Sitting On The Dock of the Bay, In the Midnight Hour, Dead Flowers, Honky Tonk Women, Key to the Highway, Sweet Home Chicago, Like a Rolling Stone, Hey Joe, I Shot the Sheriff, and No Woman No Cry.Working with Andy's Jam Night series will equip you with the three most important skills you'll need to take to the jam stage; command of the popular song list, a diverse rhythm guitar vocabulary, and the ability to improvise fresh solos over popular song progressions. Command of the Popular Song List: There are really only a handful of songs that are called over and over again at the local jams — they're the 'standards' of rock and popular music. You don't need to learn them note-for-note like you would for a cover, but you do need to be familiar with their basic structure.Diverse Rhythm Guitar Vocabulary: You'll be playing a lot of rhythm guitar at the jams. The better your rhythm chops, the more you'll get asked to the stage because EVERYBODY loves to play with a strong rhythm section. Again, while your rhythm parts might be inspired by the original recorded version — you MUST bring some originality and diversity to the bandstand to keep things interesting over what could be a 15-minute jam on that song. Improvising Over Popular Progressions: Jam songs are selected because they're familiar to players and audiences alike, AND they provide an interesting and very jam-friendly progression to play over. Your blues chops will certainly be helpful BUT they won't take you all the way there. You MUST be able to navigate your improvisations through a variety of other 3- and 4-chord progressions. Popular Jams For each of these 10 popular jams, Andy will first overview the vibe, structure and progression of the tune. He'll then demonstrate and breakdown two rhythm guitar approaches, and then two lead guitar approaches — 20 rhythm approaches and 20 lead approaches in all. Everything is tabbed and notated, plus you'll get all of the rhythm tracks to work with on your own. Your rite of passage to the jam bandstand is now just a click away… Only a handful of people on the planet can deliver the instructional goods on guitar as well as Andy Aledort. Andy has served as senior editor for several top guitar magazines, has authored over 200 guitar instruction books, and has studied the styles and techniques of virtually every major electric blues and rock guitar artist in history. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone better qualified to present a more thorough guitar lesson curriculum than Andy Aledort.
