Posted on
May 30, 2011
by Wilma SubraMay 30, 2011for the Louisiana Environmental Action Network and the Lower Mississippi RIVERKEEPER As a result of the Mississippi River flood of 2011, the Atchafalaya River at Morgan City crested on May 30, 2011.

The idea of offering higher education online to refugees seemed like a chimera. But the recent graduation of the first group of refugee students in Kenya and Malawi has acted as an impetus to improve services in Jordan; it has become clear that food and shelter is not enough to offer refugees a future.
The online higher education programme managed by JRS and Jesuit Commons: Higher Education at the Margins (JC:HEM) provides both. It offers an opportunity to restore some sense of normality to the lives of refugees, while at the same time offering opportunities to grow intellectually and improve the likelihood of becoming economically self-sufficient.
The Middle East project was originally established for Iraqi refugees in Aleppo in 2011, but had to be suspended the following year after a deterioration in security. Even though the Aleppo courses were only open for 12 months, a number of former students there have gone on to contribute to their communities inside and outside of Syria as JRS project workers, teachers and active members in civil society.
Contagion of knowledge. With such large numbers of refugees arriving into the country, JRS finally opened the programme in Amman last July; and it was an immediate hit.
"Initially, we just made an announcement at the JRS education centre, but the news quickly spread among the various refugees communities by word of mouth and in the end, a large number of people participated in the selection process", said Katie Merriman who helped establish the project.
Students take 6-month certificate courses in what is known as the Community Service Learning Track (CSLT). Subsequently, some students are expected to go on and take future diploma courses, accredited by Regis University in the US.
The first CSLT course in Amman is in English interpretation in response to an extensive survey conducted among the Syrian, Iraqi, Sudanese and Somali communities served by JRS in Amman. The curriculum was developed by onsite facilitators, under the supervision of Professor Bennet Lindauer, the Regis University facilitator.
The group of students selected is characterised by their diversity: a mix of men and women ranging from 17 to 50 years old. They come from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Palestine and Chad – each with very different life stories.
Huda had to leave Damascus as she was about to start university. Ahmed, from Iraq, has been living with his family in Jordan for several years awaiting resettlement.
"This training helps refugees to move forward, to continue to build their future from where they are right now", says Katie.
The course aims to develop skills that the students will be able to use directly. It is also intended to build their self-confidence and leadership skills, helping them to become actively involved in their communities, either as refugees or one day back at home.
After an intensive session of English language, they will complete specialisation modules in fields of tourism, medicine, non-governmental organisations and law. During each of these modules the students will meet professionals active in these sectors. This allows them to build a professional network and gain hands on experience.
"I can get in touch with other support services and have greater means to tell people about our conditions and situation", said Samer, a Syrian who works at a hospital offering medical assistance to refugees in Amman.
"I'll be able to help newcomers from Sudan in the various procedures to be undertaken as soon as they arrive in Jordan. The more competent I am the better I'll be able to help!" said Haroun, a Sudanese student whose community faces great difficulties living in Jordan.
Allowing refugees to make contributions is essential to promoting integration and ensuring their talents are put to use in their new communities. The provision of higher education is one way of harnessing the professional and intellectual energy of people forced to flee their homes. Success could mean more stable and open societies in the future.

HD Live / 3D & 4D Ultrasound
We are 4D Imaging LLC, where expecting parents arrive excited about their 4D ultrasound and HD Live ultrasounds. How are we able to constantly make an already unforgettable moment even more special? It's simple! We use the latest 4D ultrasound in Arlington Heights and HD LIVE ultrasound technology, which allows us to provide the highest quality ultrasound images available. As a parent, seeing an image of your unborn child with such clarity is one of life's most intimate experiences. With such high quality imaging, we start gender reveal ultrasounds at just 15 weeks, as opposed to the usual 20 weeks. To ensure accuracy, we see the gender multiple times before congratulating you on your soon to be son or daughter!
Please note, we start our ultrasounds at 15 weeks gestation. Thank you Gender Celebration Package $99* 15 min. session . See baby in 2D/4D/"5d" (must be between 15 weeks to 22 weeks pregnant) gender determination FREE disc of images, usually over

Our mission is to provide memorable 4D and HD Live ultrasound experiences that you can share with your child in the future.
Ultrasound technology uses sound waves to create a picture of the baby in the uterus or womb. Ultrasounds can be a very special part of the pregnancy. It's the first time you and your family are introduced to the baby. Obtaining prenatal medical care is required prior to visiting our facility. We offer a unique experience than the medical ultrasound procedure done at your doctor's office. Often times, husbands, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends are not allowed nor have work hours that permits them to attend the ultrasound performed at the doctor's office. A 4D/HD Live ultrasound experience at 4D Imaging brings families and friends together so all loved ones can partake in the joy of the new baby.
Often times the technicians at the doctor's offices are too busy with getting the baby's measurements so there is not much time spent on getting good face images of the baby. With years of experience, 4D Imaging LLC has the experience and training needed to obtain clear ultrasound images. We focus on sonograms of the face, feet, and hands. If desired, we also spend time on determining the baby's gender. We have suggestions to help the baby move around and provide pre-appointment tips to increase the success of the 4D/HD Live ultrasound appointment.
Why should I get a 4D ultrasound or HD Live ultrasound when I am going to see the baby in a few months?
Life is filled with few tender moments and this experience is one you most likely will never forget. After all, how many times will you have the opportunity to look inside someone's body and see something so amazing? Some people are hesitant when they first call to schedule their appointment because they do not know what to expect, but customers leave our office in amazement because it was better than they expected. The warm and fuzzy feeling you feel while you are viewing the baby will be a pleasant surprise. We welcome up to 6 guests at the appointment. The ultrasound keepsakes can also be a helpful tool in notifying your child that he or she is going to be a big brother or big sister; playing their DVD may help with reducing jealousy and they can see that they were also loved and cherished during the respective pregnancy.
4D/HD Live Ultrasounds also help the father bond with the baby which may result in an increase of compassion shown towards the baby's mother. Dads if you would like to see why she feels tired, bloated, restless, cranky, etc. schedule an ultrasound appointment and see the baby move in real time. 4D and HD Live Ultrasounds are a window to your baby and the DVD and CD of images you receive will be a great keepsake for the child to watch in the future. After all, children do grow up fast!
What if my baby is hiding or the baby doesn't move in the correct position?
Good news! We have great ultrasound packages that offer return visit guarantees if we are unable to obtain good pictures of at least half the baby's face. When we scan babies our goal is to obtain the best possible pictures so when the baby grows up he or she can see how cute they were before being born.
Thank you for visiting our website!

I have a friend with an increasing level of disability. An artist, she wanted an easel that would allow her to sit and/or stand, dependent on her available strength. Her main requirement was for use of the KISS principle, with no winding handles but retaining full adjustability. I don't know that it's especially unique but this is what we developed, literally made to measure to suit her needs.
The canvas is retained on the bottom rail by use of the figure-F blocks, their top surfaces cut at 7.5 degrees. The top rail, which clamps the work, has a velcro-type gripper strip. It locks into position through a pivoting block with a strip of 25mm wide carborundum tape bonded to its back. The one weakness is that I need to replace the wing nut with a ring nut. It takes little effort to clamp but will make it easier for her weakened fingers to manage.
My friend wanted it in pine but I think the next one will be in Tasmanian Oak.
BTW, to photograph the finished work, I've inserted one of my photographs, just wasn't prepared to make a laughing stock of my paltry efforts!

Doctor Who's recreator Russell T Davies – the man who relaunched it from cult favourite to national treasure back in 2005 – is returning to BBC Wales to adapt and oversee a TV production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. That's the one about faeries. elves and a man with a name that launched a multitude of smutty gags who gets turned into a donkey. Or an ass if you want to stretch the gag even further. He's called Bottom, okay? Don't snigger. This is Shakespeare. People don't even laugh at his comedies.
Anyway, according to Blogtor Who, Davies is returning to the BBC Cardiff to create the adaptation because, says Davies, "With a riot of prosthetics, CGI, magic and action, it needs the brilliant Doctor Who team in Cardiff to bring it to life."
It will be a 90-minute adaptation directed by David Kerr (Inside No 9, That Mitchell And Webb Look, Fresh Meat) going by the title The Dream. That doesn't mean Russell will be writing all-new dialogue, though. It is, apparently, "a truthful version… the original play, the original words, the original Shakespeare. Warm and funny, it will have as much attitude and invention as any theatrical interpretation."
Davies enthuses: "I've wanted to make this for the BBC for my entire adult life and only the BBC can put on a play like this, for all the family, smack-bang in the heart of primetime." Well, make use of the BBC while you can, Russell!

As the United Kingdom's largest film channel, Film4 makes and shows films in cinemas and on television sets all throughout the U.K. To attract everyone from James Bond fans to horror aficionados, Film4 Pins a wide range of movie content. With their boards, they're not afraid to get adventurous and try Pins that span all subjects, and this means curating stuff that's not just from their own site, but from all over the web.
Film4 also shares different types of content, like video interviews with celebrities and Product Pins for movie-inspired greeting cards that show where Guardians of the Galaxy was filmed. "The Film4 website is very text focused. On Pinterest, we are able to add more fun stuff, make it more visual, and include a variety of content. We have the flexibility to show more interesting content," said Catherine Bray, Editorial Director, Film4 Online.
The key to creating great boards? Not being afraid to experiment and play around with different ideas. "We have been surprised that some of our top list boards haven't done as well as expected, but it's all about learning and shedding old behaviour; it's taught us that click-bait doesn't always work."
In just one year, Film4 have grown their following to 600k, 4x the number of followers they have on their other platforms.
"I love the fact that Pinterest is a real-world platform, designed to engage real-world behaviour."
Film4's largest successes have come from creating content that inspires Pinners to take action on their interests by checking out Film4's website and TV channel.
To understand what Pinners are interested in, Film4 analyse what people search for on Pinterest. Then, they build up a series of content around those interests. "We found that the content that works best plays on what people are already interested in rather than just focusing on Film4".
For example, when the Hunger Games premiered, Film4 built a survival guide, pulling in trivia and facts from books into the board, and saw a 1620% spike in profile impressions. They also found great success creating a board to promote their Channing Tatum season, which had 84,000 impressions on the first day. They were even able to sustain engagement throughout the season by continuing to promote the boards on social channels.
"We can't believe how quickly Pinterest has taken off, going from a niche network to something that Film4 now use in very creative and rich ways. We've seen this happen within the last year and thought it would take much longer to develop our audience here. We also love how positive people on Pinterest are, and how our audience celebrates creativity."

A couple of things to remember when you're looking at this slide of projected mobile graphics performance, which NVIDIA showed us Thursday at HTC's Frequencies meetings in Seattle and has been making the rounds.
- The slide was being used to illustrate just how far mobile graphics (OK, Tegra) has come in a relatively short amount of time.
- And, yes, ZMOG! Tegra will be as powerful as the Xbox 360 in 2013 or whenever! That's a great line. But it's not like we're talking apples to apples here, and it's also not like Microsoft's never going to refresh the Xbox hardware. (Lord knows it could use it just to kill the jet-engine fan noise.)
It's also probably safe to say that there's been more room for improvement and innovation in the mobile space. Console gaming, relatively speaking, is more of a long-term endeavor than mobile. Yes, new versions of Tegra SOCs are coming. (And, no, Tegra 3+ is not the official name for what's next.) Yes, they'll be faster and more powerful, and we'll all fawn over them when they arrive.

Michael Chopra grabbed a hat-trick after Newcastle United's table- topping reserves gave a five-star display.
Newcastle beat Bradford City 5-0 at Kingston Park last night - their fourth win in a row - to go three points clear at the top of the FA Premier Reserve League.
Chopra underlined his growing maturity with his three goals in front of the watching Bobby Robson while Lomana Lua Lua also shone.
Coach Tommy Craig was delighted with the "attitude and application" of his young second string side.
After Bradford had the best of the early chances, United took control midway through the first half when Chopra opened the scoring. Mark Boyd and City's Terry Bowker also got on the scoresheet.
But it was Chopra, a recent graduate from Newcastle's Under-19s team, who had the 1,368 Kingston Park crowd talking.
Craig said: "Chopra got three goals which showed a striker's instinct. He's proved he's got goals in him once again."
The win took the Magpies clear of Middlesbrough, who face Sunderland tomorrow at Billingham, and their next game, against Manchester United at Altrincham on April 4, could decide the title race.
Craig said: "The two words I would like to use about that performance are attitude and application. I can't speak highly enough of their attitude to the game.
"I've got to say Marcelino was an example to everybody. Steve Caldwell, David Cowan and Marcelino were the basis from which the win came.
"I don't like talking about titles but we've got a good chance.
"Without being blase we now expect to win each game we play.
"We've struck a rich vein of form and hopefully that will continue."
United could have been a goal down after just 17 seconds but Michael Standing failed to get on the end of a Lee Sharpe cross.
But it was Newcastle who broke the deadlock, Chopra finishing off a wonderful move started by Lua Lua when he fed Wayne Quinn on the left.
Quinn crossed and found Chopra at the far post, who beat Andrew Grainger from 10 yards in the 24th minute.
Seconds later Lua Lua was again the provider, feeding Boyd for United's second.
Lua Lua, involved in everything, then charged down the right and crossed for the unmarked Chopra, who finished off at the left-hand post.
Bradford did not have any answer to the Magpies, and it was 4-0 deep in first-half injury time.
Lua Lua crossed from the right and Bowker put the ball into his own net. United's fifth came in the 51st minute when Bradley Orr's challenge saw the ball break for Chopra, who completed his hat-trick.
The game saw Stuart Green's return to reserve action, following his loan spell at Third Division Carlisle.
UNITED: Collin, Cowan, Quinn, S Caldwell, Marcelino, Kerr (Orr, 78), Green (McGuffie, 71), Boyd, Chopra, Lua Lua (McMenamin, 59), Bernard. Subs not used: Bell, Dimas.

Wow, what a day of parties! I want to thank everyone who stopped by to visit me today and share in this great Christmas in July! Many of you stopped by as existing friends and followers, some came only for a chance to win a Christmas giveaway, others came through links to Maggi's CIJ party at Just Add Glitter and Stir or through a link from my Playing Dishes CIJ Tablescape Party or my Memes for Me blog, or just found this site by chance. No matter how or why you arrived, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Christmas is truly a magical time that I hold dear. However, July is a particularly difficult time in my life due to life's unexpected losses. Each year I struggle with the entire month of July, but this year, I shifted gears and extended my usual CIJ to include the entire month. Each of you has played a part in helping me through this time, even after my family experienced another two losses this month with the death of a wonderful uncle Leon, my husband's only brother, Larry, and our late son's beloved dog Blackjack.
My faith continues to guide me through these times.
I have enjoyed each and every comment you have left and have spent way too many hours reading and laughing at things on your blogs and countless wonderful hours working on my own CIJ parties, posts and giveaways.
Wow, I sound like it is all over---not so! There is still another full week of CIJ and I have a huge family holiday dinner next weekend. Family is so important, so it is really fitting that that will be the final event for this fun filled month.
Tonight, I just want to thank all of you for this wonderful weekend. My birthday was last week and I told my husband that all I wanted was some great holiday cheer and wow, did you all deliver!
I copied and pasted the names of all the participants in Maggi's party into the post below and the links worked! That way I will be able to go back and revisit and savor the wonderful things found there.
I will be visiting you often, please do the same. My Christmas Memories in My Heart blog will only have posts around Rudolph Day on the 25th of each month until the end of November, when I will be posting daily again. So check back around Rudy Day for a visit of holiday fun. Playing Dishes will continue to have posts related to dishes and my obsession with thrifting. My newest blog, Memes for Me will be devoted to the fun things in blog land. I will post things as they hit my fancy.
Until next time, I am roping all of you Christmas lovers into my Christmas Memories in My Heart.
I love things from the Southwest and the little musical cactus at the top is one of my favorite Christmas things. So, it is only fitting that he uses his lasso to pull us all together one last time.
Enjoy the cartoon video with Paul baby singing about a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas in July,
Please excuse me for posting this on both of my CIJ intensive blogs. I am way too tired to write another post to thank you all.
I have an out off town on Sunday for a meeting and will post the giveaway for Playing Dishes on Monday. I want to make sure that everyone has time to visit and I have time to add all the new names!
I am actually able to decorate and then enjoy the spirit of the holidays and celebrate Jesus' birth and the reason for the season.
You can find links to my three favorite holiday sites in my sidebar. They are Organized Christmas, Our Home for the Holidays, and Magical Holiday Home. All three of these special places are like my home away from home. I have cyber friends there who I feel a great bond with and we share a common love of Christmas. We understand each other and support each other in our quest to have magical, wonderful holidays.
Please come back to visit often.

Jay-Z Auctions Off Courtside Knicks Tickets
As big of a star as Jay-Z is, he's a notoriously private celebrity, so a new charity auction might be a lucky fan's only way to get close to one of hip-hop's most famous. Jay has partnered with a fancy auction site called Charity Buzz to auction-off two tickets to sit next to him courtside at an upcoming New York Knicks match at Madison Square Garden.
While Jay-Z is a partial owner of the New Jersey Nets, tickets to the Knicks will be a hotter commodity after fielding their first winning team in a decade and acquiring star shooter Carmelo Anthony in a recent trade. These tickets are valued at a whopping $20,000, but should far exceed that in the open auction. Bidding started at $8,500 and has already hit $16,000 as of press time. Bids can be placed until the end of March.
The only catch is that Jay-Z gets to pick the game of his choice and that date is non-negotiable. Basically, if you're rolling with Hov, he gets to call the shots. All proceeds will benefit the Stephen Gaynor School for the education of special needs children and any winner will be subject to a full background check just to make sure no one has an old beef to settle.
Get your money right and go place a bid here.

Once upon the floors of Zomato, two young and ambitious girls decided to take a chai break. What they came back with, along with a bond that was to last for long, was the idea of The Bluebeans.
Innumerable cups of chai and meetings later, The Bluebeans was confident enough to venture out in the world. Today, we have more than sixty of the most exciting restaurants and pubs in Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai & Dubai, as our clients. From content to marketing strategy and PR to events, we have grown to serve our clients with bespoke solutions for all things digital. On days, when we seek inspiration for ideas, a chai break is still our best bet.
We come into the picture when you decide to market your restaurant(s). However that's not the only thing we do. We'll offer you a range of experts in every field relevant to business development. We know a lot of people that way. Our forte, if we were to be specific, is digital marketing. We come up with ingenious social media strategies for your restaurant(s). We also make sure that every sort of consulting for our clients is done in the right lingo, and that the stakeholders in the process are represented adequately. We're just an email away, and we're a bunch of smart assets you'd really want by your side.
Now we like to hail the power of social media that literally brought about revolutions in the world, and employ it for the best of all us foodies in the world. We make your food-brand visible, and we make it interact in the digital space. We believe that an active and regulated maintenance of your restaurant's marketing on the social media is a top priority. We integrate our knowledge of everything happening in the rest of the world with relation to the product image to grab the audience's attention (and their dripping tongues) towards your food by the power of our content, for which our wits serve no end.
The BlueBeans' absolute appreciation for the individuality of every chef's kitchen is manifested in the creatives that we design to mould your product in a certain fashion. We believe that graphics and posts on the social media are an undeniable strength in terms of the restaurant's branding. Our focus, thus, remains on the originality and quality of the creative, such that it retains an aesthetic value of its own, as well as fulfils the purpose of marketing the product which carries your restaurant's personality. In short, we help you create signature creatives to match your signature dishes, which can remain with the audience for long.
We recognise the importance of building relations in the business market. That is why our motto "Together we stand; divided we fall" comes from Mr. Roger Waters himself. A restaurant's brand image is closely dependent on the holy trinity of consumers, competitors and critics alike. The BlueBeans helps you in promoting and establishing a good image with relation to this trinity, and makes sure we transform the naysayers into yay-sayers together.
We're a happy bunch. We're an ambitious bunch. We're the talkative ones.

Our story begins with Crichton, Josef, and Dagon finding themselves in a muddy field. Escaping from the mudmen at Borland's command, they then underwent several months of training in the 4th Dimension.
Having emerged from the training successfully, they were rounded up by Vincente, who explained things to them and told them they'd be going to Earth to retrieve some Borland technology that the locals were no longer paying for.
Slipping through the portal, they found themselves in a forest. They came across a group of villagers, who they slaughtered. Continuing on, they found a road and a cornfield. When they spied a troop of soldiers marching down that road, they decided to mount an ambush. It was a fierce battle, but by employing skirmish tactics both in the forest and cornfield, our trio were victorious.
Further, they spied a fort, which they wisely avoided, continuing on to the village that was their target. The scouted the outer boundaries of the village and waited for night to fall. Entering via the stream that flowed through the town, they spied and hid from the night patrolman. Fixing upon a plan, they followed him at a distance until he returned to headquarters, then waited for his replacement to leave for his own rounds. They then quietly executed all the soldiers while they slept. Dagon also decided to keep the cat he found as a pet. Having located the parcel they were to retrieve, the three made their way out of the town, though Dagon lost his kitty at some point.
Backtracking the way they came, they returned home. Vincente congratulated them and revealed that they had recovered a rocket launcher.
Having rested, the trio was ready for a new assignment. This time, they were to protect a town that was paying for Borland's protection. Investigating, they found the town to be deserted, and set up shop in one of the larger houses. As night fell, they were attacked by all manner of strange beasts. Walking pants that could make one dance, and leaping brains assaulted them. It was a hard fight, but finally they won.
Attempting to trace back the route the strange creatures had taken, they discovered a strange portal with blue skinned elephant men within. After taunting the creatures, they destroyed the portal and returned home.
Once again congratulated for a job well done, Vincente asked them whether they wanted to continue running Earth missions, or go through the portal wherein Borland was looking for something.
They chose the portal and passed into the Elephant Temple.

This is the first year in very many that we have brought over some of this once modish wine. From Robert Sarrau who makes decent Beaujolais if memory serves and dare I say it, drinking rather well, despite its youth.
Is this a fad ripe for revival? If you would like to decide for yourself, pick up a bottle from any participating store (If you can find one) Alternatively you can purchase it here but stocks are very limited.Tags: Beaujolais

Social Security offers retirement benefits as early as age 62 at a reduced rate, so by the age of 64, people looking to take retirement benefits do so at a rate reduced by 13.3 percent. Full retirement age is age 66 or older.
When starting Social Security benefits early, the benefits are reduced based on the number of months before full retirement age the person begins receiving benefits. At the age of 62, retirement benefits are reduced by 25 percent; at age 63 the benefits are reduced by 20 percent, and at age 65, benefits are reduced by 6.7 percent.
Full retirement age is over the age of 66 for people born after 1954. For those born after 1960 or later, the benefit may be reduced up to a maximum of 30 percent. If a person works after receiving benefits, Social Security may withhold some benefits if the person has excess earnings. However, a special rule that applies to earnings for one year decrees that Social Security cannot withhold benefits for any month in which the Social Security considers the individual retired, regardless of his yearly earnings. After the individual reaches full retirement age, Social Security recalculates the benefit amount to give credit for months the individual did not receive benefits.

Getting rid of some "old" arcs :)
Arc Provided by Gallery Books Call me sexist if you want, but there's a reason why I try to stay away from books written by guys: I can't stand their f***g voices. Or what is known as "male gaze". There's a few exceptions like author Soman Chainani and I was going to say author Peter S. Beagle... but meanwhile the author wrote Summerlong and s**t hit the fan with that one. Don't know what is it with guys and old age, for crying out loud. So, male gaze, right? I can't stand it. I have allergy to it. That's why after reading five percent of this I was done with it. This was supposed to feel adult, instead it felt juvenile. And I hated the voice's guy! This was what I wrote in September, the first and last time I forced myself to pick this up: "Was this supposed to be YA? Because this feels YA. And the over the top adjectives are already making my eyes twitch." Sorry, but my new book resolutions for 2017, revolves around dnf arcs that aren't working for me. So long, farewell, hope I never see you again!

I think I bought these flashcards on eBay a couple years ago. Printed in Italy in 1978-79, they must be part of a larger set of fast-fact cards on places around the world. They would suggest something educational, although in reading the short summary on the back suggests that either these were for an adult audience in the pre-digital age or that pupils from thirty years ago were under a much higher expectation for reading comprehension than would be the case today—with terminology like "autochthonous peoples" and "insalubrious districts" casually included the explanatory text.
The card presents a dynamically industrializing state, with the orderly and ultramodern Freeport on the front, and much of the back discussing trade and economics. The tabulation of figures is also remarkable: Liberia exported 250 million dollars worth of goods in that year, 90% of which was iron and rubber, or around 800 million dollars in 2013 inflation adjustment.
As mentioned in a post from a few months back, 2010's figure was 823 million dollars, although a third of this was the offshore ship registry. The whole country had only 1.2 million people; Monrovia only 180,000. There are probably more than 1.2 million people in greater Monrovia today. My favorite sentence, unquestionably, is "…Monrovia, which until then had looked like a Western film city with twisted wooden posts, developed and acquired one of the finest ports of West Africa, which became a free port." Great sentence, although I cannot imagine that the unfamiliar reader would be able to understand the connection between a wild west film set and pre-modern Monrovia. Although this was enough for the front of the card to declare Liberia "An African 'Far West.'"
The card for Abidjan is perhaps even more fascinating. First, the image itself is so banal as to be mesmerizing; it seems to be calling attention to how remarkable such an ordinary scene of an office building parking lot was in sub-Saharan Africa before 1980. The back caption states that the block is "the Ivory Coast data-processing centre at Abidjan."
The remainder of the back text is mostly devoted to an unusual description of Abidjan's socio-economic "hierarchy" —the Europeans concentrated in the more attractive districts of Plateau, Cocody and Marcory, the industrial zone in Petit-Bassam. Then there are the majority-African districts: Adhamé, Koumassi— "high-rise towers of rented flats," an intriguing image; and then "the 'areas of spontaneous settlement,' or shanty-towns."
Then: "as fast as these insalubrious districts are renovated to clear them of the slums, new ones spring up alongside to house the influx of immigrants from Upper Volta, Mali, Nigeria, etc." The echo of an earlier, imperially-sactioned racism informs a modern sociological assessment. The final two paragraphs summarize the economic sectors in almanac form. "Abidjan really is a mushroom city," it declares.
These cards not only recall the pre-decline era of post-independence, when Africa hummed with progress and industrialization; for me they also remind me of early childhood memories, flipping open the family Atlas or taking down a volume from the Encyclopedia set, to look up a distant, exotic city or country, described in a handful of paragraphs. The brief, essential words conjured the cityscapes in my mind: "a tourist complex on the lagoon," —what would a ten year old American kid see? Rare was the encyclopedia image of an African city in those days, and even if the entry had an illustration, it was but one small photograph in the decades before Google image search. It was left to interpretation, and the imagination.

Succeeding in a Strange City // Behind the Scenes of my Life in Paris
I loved Paris best of all when I was exploring with friends at the weekends. I always seemed to stumble across things that were more fun with them, like this street artist. We actually purchased one of his amazing works that he produced right in front of us and it is now sat in my room.
My six months in Paris was unlike anything that I have done before. It feels so strange to be writing about it in the past tense, and yet it seems like it all happened a strangely long time ago. The reality is that I've only been back for three weeks, but it's given me a bit of space from the experience to really reflect and understand exactly what I have achieved over the last six months. Since I didn't write much about my life in Paris while I was there, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you the truth about my experience.
So, let's start at the beginning. I first went to Paris for my university year abroad to do a PR internship. I spent the first two months floating between a little bit unsatisfied to utterly miserable. At first I thought that it would get better, but eight weeks into the job I was being completely taken for granted. I received little to no training, and six weeks in I was told I had been doing one of my main tasks wrong since the beginning. Despite working hours of overtime under immense stress with short and important deadlines, I was told quite bluntly that I wasn't working fast enough. My mistakes on my urgent work that I hadn't been taught how to do was pointed out to me in between sighs of frustration on a daily basis. Now that I look back on it, I believe that I was bullied and my confidence began to suffer as a result.
I went to Montmartre with Phil. The Basilique du sacre cœur was stunning, this guy was doing some pretty impressive stunts outside with this football. Let's just say that at one point he was hanging horizontally from the ground on a lamp post... with the football spinning on his foot.
I would come home and cry because I thought that I couldn't do anything right, and there was no way out, because by leaving I would be failing myself. Although I had plenty of people who advised against it, my parents supported me to make the decision to negotiate with my university and the company a way to get out of there. At first the company tried to convince me to stay and promised that things would change. They didn't. Four days later I made the decision to never go back.
Now I understand that work can be stressful. I understand that interns are put under pressure and are often trained on the job. I also know that you need to have the self-respect and confidence to know when you are being pushed for the better, and when you are being pushed onto the ground and trampled all over. If you are being told that you aren't good enough on a daily basis, you just aren't happy or most importantly, if your health is suffering, then something needs to change. Leaving that job was a risk for me, but it was the best decision that I ever made.
It's clichéd, but you can find some great street music around Paris. I thought that these guys looked so cool. The second picture is from the Arts et Metiers metro stop which is decorated in the style of a submarine. The Parisians can have a sense of humour too!
Please don't think that I am trying to scare you, but unfortunately my experience was not unusual. Since then I have heard numerous stories of friends who are interning at companies and they are completely mistreated. I am lucky in that my parents would have been able to help me financially should I have been out of work for too long, but I want you to know that you always have a choice to change your situation and you are never helpless. You are not to blame and there are many others going through the same thing as you.
But let's move onto more positive things, shall we?
I still stand by the fact that Paris was one of the best times of my life. The day after I left my job, I applied for an internship at a startup near where my old office was. I just so happened to find the ad online, and I can't imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't.
From the experiences that I've had, a smaller company leads to more responsibility. Fewer resources and processes that aren't as well established as in corporate companies means that there is more room for creativity and input from everyone. In my short time there, I had the opportunity to lead projects and learnt and improved so many skills.
Startups are also very fast-paced. This teaches you a lot about decision making, being accountable for those decisions and so much more. You can see your ideas and your work come to fruition throughout the whole process. In larger corporations, you may hand your work into your boss so they can put their name on it and hand it to their boss, then never hear about the outcome.
At first I wasn't sure how much I liked the look of the Eiffel Tower in the daylight, but it's really grown on me. There's no doubt that it is stunning when lit up. The other picture is of Canal St Martin at night. I used to get frustrated when the daylight went and I was forced to take pictures in the dark, but I love them now. The lights look so beautiful the way that they reflect off the water.
I couldn't write a post about my time in Paris without mentioning the people. Work was just one aspect of my life in Paris. It was a main part, but one of the things that made it so special was the people that I worked with. My internship allowed me to meet some of the best and most interesting people I know, who I'm sure I will call my friends for a very long time.
I hope that no part of this sounded like moaning. Being thrown into a new environment, by yourself, and having to speak a different language is very intense. For me, these factors made it feel almost impossible to escape a bad situation. Trust me, it felt incredibly dramatic at the time. I am pleased to say that I am only stronger because of the decisions I made in this situation, and I am so proud of the person that I am as I leave Paris. I am anxious and excited to see what challenges the next part of my year abroad will throw at me in Italy (which I will be documenting each week on my brand new YouTube channel).
I'm still going to be making a few little blog posts about some of the fun things I got up to in Paris. I'm also making a video next week about some other aspects of what it was like to move abroad and work there for six months. If there are any areas you would like me to cover in that, then please leave a comment or feel free to tweet me or email me.
A special thanks to the people that supported me during my time in Paris, I couldn't have done it without you.
Have you ever made an important decision that you feel has really shaped you? Is there anything you would like to me to cover or explain further in my Paris video?

This Friday sees the release of eponymous biopic, , which focuses on the hedonistic if somewhat turbulent life of the infamous French fashion designer.
Set to be a glamorous and illuminating portrayal, the film sees Saint Laurent played by French actor Pierre Niney, and will also feature original garments from the couture archive.
As if we needed any more excuse to be excited, an exclusive film clip has been released, which features a young Saint Laurent with his employer .
The clip provides viewers with a glimpse into the young designer's ingenuity and creativity, recreating a moment where Saint Laurent modestly but expertly shows Dior how to tighten the waist of a dress without taking it in. He goes on to swiftly create a makeshift example to show all the bemused watchers in the showroom.
Undoubtedly capturing the elegance and excitement of an era, get in the mood and watch the clip below:
Yves Saint Laurent will be in cinemas on 21 March.

She earned her master's degree at Indiana University South Bend. For years, she has been known for her lettering work around Culver and often is asked to letter signs and posters. She also has become known for her figurines of people and animals, all in the same slightly whimsical, folk art style. The figurines will be a prominent part of her Culver library display. Also this month, a coloring book she created in 1990 will be re-released as part of a community coloring contest. The reception will take place upstairs on the east end of the library, 107 N.

Molecular mechanisms of myelination/demyelination in peripheral nerves
- Molecular mechanisms of myelination/demyelination in peripheral nerves
Studying peripheral nerve myelination is not straightforward as the two cell types, myelinating cell and neuron, have to be intimate enough to build the tissue. We use two different models to analyze this phenomenon. First we co-culture purified Schwann cells and purified neurons together in order to obtain myelination in vitro. This approach, used also in other labs, allows quantifying the amount of myelinated segments produced by Schwann cells, and it permits to modify independently each cell type by transducing them with engineered viral vectors. The second approach we use allows to measure qualitative changes occurring during myelination in Schwann cells and in axons. In this approach, Schwann cells or neurons are transduced in the sciatic nerve of anesthetized animals with viral vectors. As myelination perturbations occur in an in vivo context fine morphological changes can be detected in light or electron microscopy.
An illustration of myelinated peripheral axons using GFP-expressing Schwann cells and drawed colored axons that cross them.
Using these approaches we investigated the role of adherens junctions in myelinating Schwann cells. We found that intact junctions are required to maintain the cell structure. In addition, we showed that a defect in the formation of these junctions during myelination induces a strong hypomyelination with a thin myelin sheath. This suggested that the organization of the cell structure is necessary to complete myelination. Adherens junctions are essential in the organization of polarized cells. The polarization of myelinating Schwann cells has been suggested some time ago but the nature and the function of this polarization had not been investigated in depth. We showed recently that the myelin sheath is polarized in a similar way as epithelial cells, with apical-like and basolateral-like domains.
We recently investigated also the role of conserved cell polarity genes during myelination and we found that Schwann cell myelin thickness and length is determined by the functional interplay of these genes. Moreover this polarization process is disturbed in cells of mice that model human Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, suggesting that peripheral nerve diseases may result from a defect in Schwann cell polarization.
We are now pursuing our investigations on the role of cell polarity factors on myelination and their involvement in the etiology of peripheral nerve diseases. Our goal is to find key molecular pathways involved in human diseases etiology and find a way to modify them in order to propose therapies for these diseases.
- Roles of mitochondria in healthy and diseased myelin-ERC project
Peripheral neuropathies form a diverse group of pathologies that include diabetic and aging peripheral neuropathies and inherited Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases. These highly debilitating diseases that affect peripheral nerves structure and function represent an increasing burden in European societies. While the etiologies of these diseases are diverse, defects in mitochondrial morphology and functions have recently emerged as one major cause for these diseases. Some mitochondrial dysfunctions are known to affect neurons, but most of them appear to affect the myelinating Schwann cell that produces the myelin sheath. Intriguingly the specific disruption of mitochondria in these glial cells does not directly affect myelination but induces neurodegeneration, suggesting that the role of glial mitochondria is complex. The goal of this project is to investigate the role of mitochondria in healthy and diseased myelin and to test whether we can change mitochondrial status and functions to prevent or treat these diseases.
Our working hypothesis is that glial mitochondria act as a homeostatic interface between axon and glia: they participate to the destabilization of Schwann cells during demyelination and they help to detoxify axons by scavenging reactive oxygen species produced by axonal mitochondria.
We have developed a novel approach that uses viral vectors to express cDNAs and/or small inhibitory RNAs in myelinating Schwann cells and myelinated axons in mice in vivo. I propose to use this approach combined with state-of-the-art imaging technique to challenge this preliminary concept in a meaningful in vivo context.
Viral tools will first be used to generate defects in particular mitochondrial functions in the myelinating Schwann cell. The impact on myelination and myelin maintenance will be assessed by light and electron microscopy. Second, viruses will be used to express genetically-encoded fluorescent probes designed to analyze mitochondrial status in living cells. This imaging approach will allow investigating mitochondrial status in healthy, demyelinating and diseased myelinating Schwann cells in vivo. Finally we will investigate the impact of glial mitochondria dysfunctions on the axon and on axonal mitochondria using fluorescent probes expressed in myelinated axons. Reversely we will also modify axonal mitochondria and check the impact of these changes on myelin and glial mitochondria.
As the impact of mitochondrial dysfunctions in diseases and aging of the human nervous system is attracting more attention, deciphering the role of mitochondria in myelinating cells is essential. Indeed the concept of homeostatic interface between axon and glia will be highly relevant to understand the molecular mechanisms of peripheral neuropathies but also of brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
- Cell and gene therapy approaches for myelin diseases
Following our strong experience in viral vectors to transduce peripheral nerve cells, we are looking for novel viral vectors that could be used to modify myelinating and remyelinating Schwann cells in order to perform gene therapy attempt on animal models of Charcot-Marie-Tooth diseases.

Veteran Jim Miller Explores the Lasting Bonds of Brotherhood in New War Novel
St. Louis
More than 47 thousand were killed in battle during the Vietnam War. Another 10 thousand died of diseases. And as of July of 2014, nearly 2 thousand remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. Vietnam was one of the deadliest wars in American history and many families are still feeling its lasting impact today.
"Never Left Behind," a military novel by Vietnam veteran and author Jim Miller, was partly inspired by Miller's own service during Vietnam and the passing years that went on with no answers to the whereabouts of those missing in action.
"I am a Vietnam veteran," Miller said. "The situation surrounding those missing and killed during that war has always bothered me. I wanted to honor our heroes by writing a story about survival and never giving up on your brothers in arms."
"Never Left Behind" provides readers with an in-depth look at the Vietnam War from the perspective of someone who survived the experience.
"I have tried to get into the head of men who were my enemy nearly sixty years ago," Miller said. "What I've come to realize, is that even though they were my enemy during the war, the North Vietnamese were real people with much the same cares as me and the men I served with in their country."

"Never Left Behind"
By Jim Miller
Paperback: $20.99
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and LifeRich
About the author:
Jim Miller's service in Vietnam and the passing years without the answers to the whereabouts of our missing in action provided the genesis for this story. "Never Left Behind" and the novel that preceded it are dedicated to the memory of those lost in battle. Miller is currently working on two other military novels and lives outside of St. Louis with his wife, Marilyn.

"I come from a PHP and Perl background, and I want to see the functionality of those languages in Java," Bevin said.
Bevin, who is chief technology officer at Uwyn, of Manage, Belgium, spoke on RIFE at TSSJS (TheServerSide Java Symposium) on March 24 here.
"I also like the features in Java 5 … Java still rocks," he said. "You can still get the same functionality as Ruby on Rails."
The name Uwyn derives from the acronym for "Use what you need," he said. Uwyn specializes in dynamic Web applications, rich Internet applications, Web 2.0 and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) solutions, platform-independent programs, and interoperable Web services, he said.
"We needed to provide the metadata approach. The existing standards are there, such as Enterprise JavaBeans [and others], but they are not applicable to every model," Bevin said.
"In my opinion Ruby on Rails is one of the best things that could happen for Java, because when I talked about these things a couple of years ago nobody listened," Bevin told eWEEK in an interview at TSSJS.
The flexibility and performance of Java as compared to options such as the Ruby on Rails framework or dynamic languages such as Python, Perl, PHP and Ruby was a recurring topic at TSSJS.
RIFE is a full-stack component framework for quickly and consistently developing and maintaining Java Web applications, Bevin said. RIFE provides a consistent approach throughout all of its layers, manages the life cycle of the application and provides reusable components for business logic. More information on the RIFE framework can be found here.
The RIFE framework features content management, life-cycle management, metadata, templating and Web components.
It also offers external interfaces such as support for Web services, content syndication and asynchronous mail queue, and common services such as authentication, resource abstraction and general-purpose utility classes.
Bevin said developers can get started quickly with RIFE by using RIFE/Jumpstart, a source archive that supports common Java development environments including Eclipse, NetBeans, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, Ant and X-develop. RIFE/Jumpstart features a collection of libraries to get developers started, a customizable source structure, test blueprints, a Jetty servlet container and other components.

VHP vs UP govt plays out amid 'match fixing' allegations
Amidst 'match fixing' charges, the first day of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Chaurasi (84) Kos Padyatra ended with both the teams, the Uttar Pradesh government and the VHP, returning to the pavilion satisfied at having kept their audience, or vote banks, engaged.india Updated: Aug 25, 2013 16:52 IST
Amidst 'match fixing' charges, the first day of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Chaurasi (84) Kos Padyatra ended with both the teams, the Uttar Pradesh government and the VHP, returning to the pavilion satisfied at having kept their audience, or vote banks, engaged.
Soon after the Sunday's match got underway, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh tweeted that the "game was fixed".
Match Fixing in Ayodhya ?— digvijaya singh (@digvijaya_28) August 25, 2013
Despite the charge, the situation attracted national attention and TV viewership soared as live action unfolded along the banks of the Saryu river where sadhus from 'Team VHP' took on the police from 'Team UP.'
There were some early strikes – former BJP MP Ram Vilas Vedanti, a member of the VHP's marg darshak mandal, was dismissed cheaply as was Ram Janambhoomi Nyas chief Mahant Nritya Gopal Das. Both of them along with former BJP MLA from Ayodhya Lallu Singh were arrested by the UP police early on Sunday.
However, VHP president Pravin Togadia then arrived to play a cameo at Gola Ghat ground and managed to confuse the police, which appeared clueless on how to contain the 'rampaging' Togadia. Mahant Ram Ishwar Das of Ayodhya's Raghunath Bhawan who was accompanying Togadia fainted as the police mounted pressure on the team.
By the time Togadia got arrested, he had ensured (there were allegations that he was allowed to do so) a decent 'score' for his 'Team VHP'. While the police eventually got him, Togadia announced a nationwide protest on Monday.
"Entire VHP cadre would join in the protests against this illegal and undemocratic police action which is an insult to the Ram temple cause for which we have toiled so hard," he said before he was virtually forced out of the Gola Ghat ground by Team UP, which even requisitioned the 'blue hawk' commandos to move Togadia away.
During the day, there were heated arguments, jostling and sloganeering. But that was expected with both sides trying hard to ensure that they didn't let their backers, read voters, down.
Inspired by their captain's effort, the Team VHP's middle order -- national VHP general secretary Champat Rai, Mahant Kamal Nayan Das and Digambar Akhara's Suresh Das -- and tail enders -- various saints who had come from different places along the banks of the Saryu -- put up some resistance.
The police performance helped Team UP to bolster its pro-minority credentials. So, it is even-Stevens for now but Monday would be another day.

For this option, you will first ask "how many rows?", and get a positive integer from them. Next, you will ask
"how many columns?", and get another positive integer from them. The next step is to ask for an alignment of
each column. They will enter "L", "C", or "R" for each column. You will then accept rows x columns entries
(don't require them to be any particular type). Finally, print out the items into a table such that:
• each column's items aligned as requested – left, center, or right. Fill blanks with the space character.
• a single space, followed by a tab, is the exact distance between a column's longest element and the next
column. Items in a column that are not longest will need extra spacing to achieve identical spacing
between themselves and the next column.
• Right-aligned columns will be just long enough for the longest item, and then all items' last characters will
then have the space and tab after them.
• The last column should have no extra spacing beyond the longest item – each column should thus be the
exact same width, exactly up to the last character requested by the user (e.g., if they left- or center-align,
then the longest item; if they right-align, then all items' last characters).
