1 B-6.1 Explain how the interrelationships among organisms (including predation, competition, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism) generate stability within ecosystems. ecosystem - biotic community (all the organisms in a given area) and the abiotic factors (such as water, soil, or climate) that affect them. The interactions among the organisms generate stability within ecosystems. Predation Predation is an interaction between species in which one species (the predator) eats the other (the prey). A graph of predator prey density over time shows how the cycle of fluctuations results in a stable ecosystem. As the prey population increases, the predator population increases. As the predator population increases, the prey population decreases. Competition Competition is a relationship that occurs when two or more organisms need the same resource at the same time. Competition can be among the members of the same or different species and usually occurs with organisms that share the same niche. An ecological niche refers to the role of an organism in its environment including type of food it eats, how it obtains its food and how it interacts with other organisms. Competition usually results in a decrease in the population of a species less adapted to compete for a particular resource. Symbiotic Relationships A symbiotic relationship exists between organisms of two different species that live together in direct contact. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism (the parasite) benefits, and the other is hurt (the host). Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other organism is not affected..
2 explain how the interrelationships among organisms generate stability within ecosystems identify the roles of various organisms in an ecosystem (predator, prey, parasite, host) using pictures, diagrams, or words; interpret a graph of predator/prey numbers over time; explain how the numbers of various organisms fluctuate in an ecosystem explain how a significant change in the numbers of a particular organism will affect the stability of the ecosystem; classify a symbiotic relationship as mutualism, parasitism, or commensalism; B-6.2 Explain how populations are affected by limiting factors (including density-dependent, density-independent, abiotic, and biotic factors). Population - group of organisms belonging to the same species that live in a particular area. Population density - the number of individual organisms living in a defined space. Density-dependent limiting factors - Affects larger populations more than smaller populations - include competition (food, water, etc.), predation, parasitism, and disease. Density-independent - Affects all populations equally - mostly abiotic (such as weather changes), human activities (such as pollution), and natural disasters (such as fires). Abiotic and biotic factors Abiotic factors may be chemical or physical in the environment. o water, nitrogen, oxygen, salinity, ph, soil nutrients and composition, temperature, amount of sunlight, and precipitation. Biotic factors include all the living organisms o bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. explain how populations are affected by limiting factors classify each type of limiting factor (as listed in the indicator); compare density-dependent limiting factors to density-independent limiting factors and biotic limiting factors to abiotic limiting factors; infer the result of a change in a limiting factor on the size of a population.
3 B-6.3 Illustrate the processes of succession in ecosystems. Ecological succession - series of changes in an ecosystem when one community is replaced by another community as a result of changes in abiotic and biotic factors. Primary succession occurs in an area that has no soil - after volcanic eruption, etc. As the species of plants change, the species of animals that are able to inhabit the area also change. In this way, one community replaces another over time. Eventually a mature community (climax community) results where there is little change Secondary succession begins in an area where there with well-formed soil farmland, forest fire It is similar to primary succession in the later stages, after soil has already formed. Something halts the succession, such as a fire, a hurricane or human activities, and destroys the established community but the soil remains intact. When the disturbance is over, the ecosystem interacts to restore the original condition of the community.
4 identify communities that characterize the stages of succession; explain the environmental conditions that are necessary for pioneer species to survive; infer what type of organisms will be present in a given area in the future based on the a description of the area s current species; compare the conditions for primary and secondary succession; B Carbon Cycle Exemplify the role of organisms in the geochemical cycles (including the cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and water). Photosynthesis: Photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it to simple sugars. (see B-3.1) Respiration: Organisms break down glucose and carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. (see B-3.2) Decomposition: When organisms die, decomposers break down carbon compounds which both enrich the soil or aquatic sediments and are eventually released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Conversion of biochemical compounds: Organisms store carbon as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids in their bodies. For example, when animals eat plants and animals, some of the compounds are used for energy; others are converted to compounds that are suited for the predator s body (see B-3.6), other compounds, (such as methane and other gases) are released to the atmosphere.
5 2. Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen is in amino acids needed to build proteins in organisms. Nitrogen is found in the atmosphere as elemental nitrogen (N2) Organisms play a major role in recycling nitrogen from one form to another in the following processes: Nitrogen-fixation: Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, change nitrogen to a useable form 3. Water Cycle (Hydrologic cycle) The water cycle, also called the hydrologic cycle, is driven by the Sun s heat energy, which causes water to evaporate from water reservoirs (the ocean, lakes, ponds, rivers) on Earth and also from organisms. Organisms play a role in recycling water from one form to another in water cycle. For example, Transpiration: Plants release water back into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration (the evaporative loss of water from plants). Respiration: All organisms metabolize food for energy and produce water as a by- product of respiration.
6 summarize the ways that organisms are a vital part of each cycle (carbon, nitrogen, and water) in various ecosystems; interpret a diagram, description, or illustration of an ecosystem in order to describe how various organisms play a major role in the cycling of nutrients; B-6.5 Explain how ecosystems maintain themselves through naturally occurring processes (including maintaining the quality of the atmosphere, generating soils, controlling the hydrologic cycle, disposing of wastes, and recycling nutrients). There are naturally occurring Earth processes that help ecosystems maintain a balance. The portion of Earth that is inhabited by life (the biosphere) is connected with other Earth systems: the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), and the geosphere (soil). All of these systems must interact efficiently in order for an ecosystem to maintain itself. Maintaining the Quality of the Atmosphere The composition of Earth s atmosphere is mostly the result of the life processes of the organisms living on Earth (past and present). Oxygen Produced - Plants and other photosynthetic organisms Ozone Produced - The oxygen that is produced through the process of photosynthesis is also responsible for the ozone layer o prevents much of the Sun s ultraviolet radiation from reaching Earth s surface and protects the biosphere from the harmful radiation. Carbon Dioxide Used Plants and other photosynthetic organisms Nitrogen is maintained in the atmosphere through the nitrogen cycle. Water is maintained in the atmosphere through the water cycle. o As water vapor condenses in the atmosphere, impurities (such as dust and particulates) are removed from the atmosphere and fall to Earth with precipitation. In this manner, the air is cleaned after a rain or snow fall. The greenhouse effect is the normal warming effect when gases trap heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and water vapor) trap heat energy and maintain Earth s temperature range. Greenhouse gases do not allow heat to pass through very well. Therefore, the heat that Earth releases stays trapped under the atmosphere The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere cycles as shown in the following chart: Amount of CO2 in the atmosphere Greenhouse effect Average Global Temperature Plant cover on Earth Rate of photosynthesis Amount of CO2 absorbed by plants Amount of CO2 in the atmosphere higher increases increases increases increases increases decreases lower decreases decreases decreases decreases decreases increases Oceans help with excess carbon dioxide. The salt water of oceans acts as a sink for carbon dioxide, absorbing what plants do not use and converting it to various salts such as calcium carbonate.
7 Creating Soils As part of the geosphere, the soils on Earth are constantly being generated (created) and eroded (broken down). Succession creates new soils Balance between creating new soil and soil loss to erosion Plants aid in both creating soil and preventing erosion Controlling the Hydrologic (Water) Cycle: The hydrologic (water) cycle is maintained by the energy of the Sun and the effect of weather. The hydrologic cycle purifies water in several ways: Evaporated water is pure water containing no impurities. As water seeps down through the soil and rock it is physically filtered of impurities. As water flow slows, heavier particles of sediment settle out, leaving purified water to travel toward the oceans. Disposing of Waste & Recycling Nutrients Waste materials from organisms are decomposed by bacteria or other organisms and the nutrients are recycled. explain how ecosystems maintain themselves through naturally occurring processes, t summarize how various aspects of an ecosystem are naturally maintained (atmosphere, soils, water cycle, disposing of wastes, and the recycling of nutrients.); interpret diagrams, charts, tables, and graphs in order to describe how naturally occurring processes maintain balance in an ecosystem; exemplify cycles of the atmosphere, the generation of soils, and water

PRIDE, LA (WAFB) - A little rain has turned into a huge problem for one Baton Rouge woman. Puddles are all over her yard and the water is now coming into the house. Code enforcement officials say they are now taking a look at what the problem could be.
"It's very frustrating. I'll tell you, I won't bite my tongue to tell you," said Aline Newman.
Rain is the four letter word that gets Aline Newman's blood boiling. She says the pond on her neighbor's property is draining in her yard, leaving several blue puddles. That blue tint she says is the same coloring that is in the pond.
Newman says not only is it affecting her yard, towels are down in her bathroom where water has been gushing in under the toilet.
The McGraw's, who live next door, say just because their property is higher doesn't mean their pond is causing the problem. In fact, they say the city dug a ditch behind their home where most of the neighborhood drains into a creek.
"Anybody can see who's causing it," Newman said.
A code enforcement officer for the parish says they have talked with Newman. Thursday they plan to take a drainage engineer out to see if there is a problem.

A few weeks ago, I noted that I was teaching Homer's epic, The Odyssey, to my Humanities class of 9th and 10th graders. In the intervening weeks, we finished The Odyssey, read selections from Hesiod's Works and Days, and a few days ago, wrapped up a whirlwind introduction to the Presocratic philosophers. To my knowledge, the Presocratics are not normally a part of a high school-level humanities curriculum, but I think they are useful to introduce, if only briefly, to underscore the shift in the way the Greeks thought about reality.
To jump from Homer or Hesiod right to Socrates is nearly as great an academic sin as ignoring the Middle Ages as a source of serious philosophical and theological significance. Socrates did not exist in a vacuum and his method of inquiry decended from those who went before him. To forget that Thales and Anaximenes were asking big questions long before the Gadfly was sitting the the Agora is truly a crime almost worthy of the hemlock.
The Presocratics, so-called because they came before Socrates, are the intellectual bridge from Homer and Hesiod to the Golden Age of Greek philosophy. Homer and Hesiod represent a culture concerned with piety and material gain, and Socrates is accused of impiety and refuses to go against the law of Athens, even if it means his doom. Something happened in the meanwhile and the Presocratics give insight into this.
Homer and Hesiod, both poets, see reality as constantly being intervened in by the pantheon of gods. A fierce thunderstorm means that Zeus is unhappy with someone, and bulls must be offered to Poseidon to ensure a stormless trip across the wine-dark seas. Grey-eyed Athena blesses those who are crafty, like the hero Odysseus, and Hesiod's Dike scoures the earth for the unjust who malign her. The gods are active in the world and responsible for many things.
Yet, within a century or so, Thales will begin questioning reality and arrive at some very different conclusions. Sometime in the 6th century BC, Thales asked a very important question: what is the one behind the many? In other words, what is the one thing that lies under all other things and unites all things? Water was the answer he eventually settled on and for understandable reasons: water, in its various forms, is very much like everything else in reality. When frozen, water is a solid. When it is boiled, it turns into vapor and is very much like air. Water, furthermore, is everywhere. Walk in any direction far enough, and you will eventually run into water.
The significance of this shift is immense. No longer does the Greek mind turn to the gods to explain everything in reality. Rather, Thales turns away from appealing to the gods and attempts to reason to the truth, relying on his own observations and common sense. When a tree falls on a house, Hesiod would call you to consider how you may have offended the god of the trees. Thales might instead consider what else could have caused the tree to fall.
While Tales was the first to ask the question, what is the one behind the many, he was not the last. After him a line of successors wrestled with the very same question: Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides and the Atomists. Further, Pythagoras, Heraclitus and Parmenides are all significant contributors to Plato's metaphysical outlook. Without them, it is doubtful Plato would have ever become something beyond a playwrite.

I had been wanting a rhinoplasty for as long as I could remember prior to getting my nose job. Many wouldn't know this (I was much too prideful), but I hated the bump on my nose that was visible from a side view. I don't come from a wealthy family, nor did I feel comfortable asking my parents for a cosmetic procedure, so I waited to act on fixing my insecurity. As soon as I felt 100% confident in my decision and had a job that could fund the procedure, I began researching rhinoplasty doctors in my area. Sadly, they were terribly expensive. I did learn some valuable information from these doctors, however, such that my nasal "imperfection" (remember, it's a matter of opinion) was referred to as a dorsal hump.
After some deep Google digging, I found out that Beirut, Lebanon is the "nose job capital" of the world. I was also pleased to find out that their prices were ¼ of what the procedure costs in the states. I did all of my prep work via e-mail including photoshopped after photos. I will admit that working with a doctor 100% via the web isn't for everyone, however, I was at a point that I believed there was no way my nose could possibly get worse. People often deem my departure as brave, however, there was nothing more I wanted at the time than an improved nose. The cost for my hotel, procedure, and flight was around $3000 total (in comparison to the $8000 quote I had gotten from a local doctor).
I arrived in Beirut on a Monday and had my procedure the following day. Dr. Nizar was incredibly sweet and understanding when I reminded him of some of my qualms. I stressed "please don't make my nose too upturned" or "please make sure it looks natural", and he smiled and promised that I would look great. On the day of my procedure, I was taken into a room with a single operating table and introduced to an anesthesiologist. I remember saying as I was laid out on the table with an IV in my arm that "I don't think anesthesia works on me". Before I had a chance to receive a reply, I woke up in a daze in the next room with a bandage on my nose and a rolling IV attached to my arm. It seemed like an eternity before I could gather the energy to get up, but it was realistically probably only a couple of hours. Once I came out of my fog and got the green light to leave I went back to my hotel as if nothing major had happened. It was quite humorous actually, as I passed multiple women on the streets with the same nose cast I was wearing. I spent the next 5 days at the pool of my hotel before getting the cast removed the day before departed back to the United States. Contrary to many stories I hear, my procedure was 100% pain-free. I didn't even fill my pain killer prescription.
It's been 3 years since my procedure and I don't regret it one bit. My only regret I have is not having gone a little further with my change, such as to suggest also making my tip more refined (I was already going under the knife, I may as well have gotten "the perfect nose" vs. "an improved nose"). I've noticed that once I mention the procedure, there are many men and woman who confess to me that they too have felt insecure about their nose (or another body part). Although I encourage long, hard thinking before going under the knife, I believe it is a great option for someone struggling with accepting a particular genetic trait they don't like. I feel as though a look like what I was meant to look like and my confidence has definitely increased.
For more information, here is a Youtube video that goes into more detail of both my and my best friend's rhinoplasty procedure:

|Laura Ingalls Wilder House
Mansfield, MO
It was a treat to tour the home Laura lived in when she wrote her famous "Little House" series of books. I was an obsessive fan of the "Little House" books as a child and only slightly less obsessive as an adult.
Needless to say I spent more than I probably should have in the museum bookstore. In my bag of Laura-themed paraphernalia, I came away with this.
|The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories
I've always wanted to know how to prepare the foods mentioned in the books and all the iconic recipes are there. Now, however, I read The Little House Cookbook through the lens of preparedness and realized just how useful this it is.
- The meals are simple, using staples from food storage, game from hunting, or produce from the garden. How do you make hasty pudding, jackrabbit stew, or stewed dried fruit? Now I know. One thing I appreciate is how simple all the recipes are. They use just a few ingredients and many of them come straight from our food storage. This is ideal from a preparedness point of view.
- Many of the meals were originally cooked over an open fire or fireplace. The recipes have been adapted to modern cooking appliances, but they could easily be turned back to the originals in a grid down or camping scenario. Just make sure you have the appropriate cast iron cookware.
- How about making things we usually buy? This book gives recipes for making vinegar from apple cores, rendering lard, and crafting hard cheese.
This cookbook is so much fun for a Laura fan and it proved that I can find prepping related items anywhere, even on vacation!

Originally published October 26, 2005
One of the primary goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is to ensure that companies are reporting accurate revenue numbers. Consequently, revenue recognition policies have been under particular scrutiny. A new survey of 400 public and private companies found that more than half (55%) of all public companies have changed revenue recognition policies as a result of Sarbox, and that many of these changes were moderate to significant. In addition, revenue recognition was identified as one of the top three ongoing control risks and remediation challenges.
The survey found compliance processes are in need of additional investment. Only 14% of public companies rated their compliance processes highly efficient. 58% said their compliance processes may require additional investment, and 24% said additional investment is required. 4% said the processes were largely temporary fixes and will be replaced entirely.
The top three ongoing control risk or remediation challenges are workflow and approval process, eliminating spreadsheets, and revenue recognition. Approval processes are the source of executive liability and therefore a major issue. The pervasiveness of spreadsheets and the specialty calculations they perform are making them difficult to replace. But susceptibility to errors and resistance to documentation makes them a major source of risk. Revenue recognition is becoming far more complex as a result of the combined effect of regulation and business model innovation.
These compliance processes and others are targeted for technology investments in 2005. In many cases they are inter-dependent. As a result, 77% of companies evaluating compliance technology are considering solutions for two or more processes.
Sarbox requires companies to document and certify their reporting processes. As a result, many companies have been reviewing their revenue policies to ensure the reported numbers are accurate. But the continual demand for innovation from the market has a more direct impact-new business models typically require new revenue accounting policies.
The results from this survey show that revenue policies are undergoing a great deal of change, said Gottfried Sehringer Executive Editor of RevenueRecognition.com. Competitive and regulatory forces are cutting across industries. More and more companies are finding that their current revenue recognition policies are not sufficient. Even private companies are facing new levels of due diligence on revenue for raising capital and M&A activity.
This BeyeNETWORK news item contains information from a recent press release by the company mentioned.

Payday Advance: An Excellent Source Of LoanPrecisely Why You Should Avail Cash Advance Loans?
Allows someone to get cash swiftly
People who want to get cash quick must avail cash advance payday loans. Repaying this kind of financial loan should be done in a short time.
Opting for money advance payday loans is ideal once you cannot pay the rest of your debts and also you should settle them quickly whilst you still haven't received your salary.
Loan amounts vary from $200 to $1000 and would have amounts of $50 or $100. Upon payment of the payday loan, the debtor will also pay for a fee, which is in accordance with the loaned amount of money.
Come up with a list
Whenever seeking out a good advance loan business, it is important to check around so you can find a very good offers out there. Obviously, various organizations would have bigger offers while other will have smaller ones. These are the following questions to ask when finding a perfect payday loan lender.
Will the amount of cash you obtain be enough to pay for your immediate monetary demands?
Exactly what are the loan's associated charges and interest rate?
What's the waiting time for the payday loan approval procedure and also the cash release?
Because these providers most often contend with clients who have emergency financial situations, you could expect them to have immediate approval and provide cash quickly. In many cash loan agencies, there's no credit report checking prior to making a loan.
Clever use of payday advance
If a money advance loan is abused, the borrower can experience poor credit ratings and increase in their debts. Payday advance is supposed to be short-term, convenient financial loans to get individuals http://www.becomealoanbroker.net/ out of tough circumstances and not meant to be long-term financial loans. Paying the loan is expected on your following salary.
Those people who are not able to settle the loans when they're due would be having to pay a huge chunk in interest charges. Money advance may become the reasons you will acquire so much debt if you won't be able to settle it before the deadline.
If you want a long term financial loan, you have to seek some other sources for acquiring a loan.
Make a computation of every expenses before anything else
However, the loan is still considered by people an important way to obtain necessary funds. Although there is a charge to pay to lend the money, it could be useful for people who are in an urgent situation. If the advantages of the loan balance its cost, then many families would think it is sensible to get payday cash advance loans. Case in point is when you will need funds to http://lnbroker.refinancebhh.com/ prevent the disconnection of your telephone line or electricity.
It is now feasible to apply for a cash advance on the internet. Lending funds is now less difficult. The objective of cash loan providers is to make sure minimal amount of red tape linked to the loan process and enhance the speed of such procedure.

Mother's Day. As it approaches, makes me sad and angry. Why? Because Momma should still be here with us. I think of all she went through in her life. Deep in my heart I believe that the beatings she took over those 13 years is what caused her Alzheimer's. Studies have shown that blows to the head can cause dementia and Alzheimer's. She probably took a blow to the head at least twice a week, sometimes more.
When we first got away from Bobby I think I was in denial in regards to my anger towards Momma. I was constantly defending her and saying I didn't blame her at all. As I grew and had a family of my own I began to realize that I did blame her and was quite angry. Rather than trying to talk to her about that I allowed it to put a divide between us. It wasn't that we quit speaking or anything, we just didn't speak as often.
I remember the day the switch flipped and I had to put some distances between us. I was living in Oklahoma but had gone home to Louisiana for a visit. I was at her house and one evening we were watching television. The movie "An Eye for An Eye" was on. In this movie the court fails keep the rapist of the main character's daughter in jail so she hunts him down and kills him. During the movie Momma says "I would do the same things". I was in shock! Did she not remember that I had been repeated raped under her roof? I was pretty crushed. I didn't even know what to say. I was afraid if I said anything it wouldn't be nice and I never wanted to hurt her so I said nothing. Now as I look back I realize I should have said something and maybe we could have talked it out. Instead, I left the next day, as scheduled, and then just kind of distanced myself over time.
Sadly before I knew it she began slipping away from us due to her dementia and Alzheimer's. Oh how I would give anything to turn back the clock and spend more time with her. Yes, she made mistakes but I do whole heartedly believe she did the best she knew how to do.
So……..this is one more thing he took from me……my relationship with my mother! It has been years since we lost her but it hurts as much today as it did then.

An ability to pick future interior trends is part of the job description for Tracy Kwan, director of lifestyle at Lane Crawford. She has identified four key themes from collections showcased at the major international design fairs: Vanilla Sky, Grey Scale, Rose Water and Play Dates.
Kwan describes Vanilla Sky as the use of soft, dreamlike colours such as creamy white, pastel blues and soft turquoise that portray romance. Note the subtle shapes, detailing and fluidity of design, which prevail in this trend.
Grey Scale refers to applying shades of grey or other cool colours to create a monochrome scheme, paired with textural accents such as ceramics, pottery and craft items.
Rose Water, a theme based on the Pantone palette of rose quartz, features a playful yet feminine style, using muted pinks, rose gold and light blues.
"Some of the pieces are in retro-inspired shapes, floral patterns or strong figurative prints, or with strong dark highlights," Kwan says.
The high-spirited Play Date theme is interpreted across a range of brands and designers as an opportunity to express their playfulness. Especially evident in lighting, it has inspired innovation in style and experimentation with shape.
"Pastels were a keen favourite among the designers at shows during the year," Kwan says.
Shades of soft pink and light grey were visible throughout furniture, lighting and accessories across price points, categories and origins of the brand, such as established names Lange Production and Fritz Hansen, and new brands including NORR11, &tradition, Self., and Reflections.
The play on colours can re-energise decor, making small rooms appear more open and adding light to dark, confined spaces, Kwan says. "In all shapes and form, from decorative accessories to small furniture pieces, the pastel colour is becoming a popular choice.
"We have seen retro-inspired shapes, and strong dark highlights from the Rose Water, and Play Date trends can be seen in Reflections and Self.'s furniture."
The latest round of furniture fairs has shown Kwan that upcycling keeps growing. British designer Tom Dixon showcased his new Trellick collection of upcycled furniture, produced in collaboration with London-based social enterprise Goldfinger Factory.
Self., meanwhile, is giving new life to loved mid-century designs from G-Plan (a British company that was popular during the 1950s and 1970s) and Ercol chairs from the 1920s.
This look crosses over into our continuing love of all things "vintage" – the new name for antiques.Mixing vintage finds with modern furniture is a masterful design technique.
John McLennan of Indigo Living is excited about the use of texture and natural materials he's seeing this season. "From natural linens and plush velvets to polished marbles and antique brass paired with horn and petrified stone, these materials create a sophisticated layered look that can be amped up or toned down to fit in any home," he says.
McLennan points to the tropical look being "back in a funky, retro way"; the return of inky greys and blues in furnishings; as well as a more beachy, relaxed look in natural tones layered with an ethnic Asian feel.
In other broader trends, modular furniture systems are gaining momentum, and going upmarket. Swedish brand Ikea always excels for function and practicality, but Hong Kong designers are weighing in, too. Upscaling Operations has created its own self-assembly desk, the ButterPly, created from sustainably-sourced sculptured plywood. Meanwhile, Eric Tong of Eravolution has designed a mathematically-inspired system of mix-and-match modules, called Zystem Kershner, which work equally as shelving storage and an attractive room divider.
Advances in manufactured materials have opened up a wider choice than the traditional hardflooring menu of ceramic tiles, stone and marble.
With engineered wood, you can now have the look and feel of natural timber such as oak or walnut that is sourced from sustainable plantations, produced (if you're careful) with a low-emission process, and is more durable than solid wood. It offers more design possibilities, such as wider floorboards, or longer expanses.
Bamboo flooring hit the market as a sustainable material, but developed a bad reputation because of the nasties such as formaldehyde once commonly used during its manufacturing. That isn't the case now that greener processes are at play.
Artistic furniture that gives homes an imperial touch
Look for brands which are third-party-certified to be non-toxic, formaldehyde-free and contain zero volatile organic compounds. New materials are also emerging in carpets and rugs, and wallpapers, both sectors taking on a greener image. In carpets and rugs, expect to see more natural fibres such as wool, sisal from the agave plant, and biodegradable fabrics. On-trend patterns include tribal prints and earth tones, or any image you like in upmarket bespoke rugs from companies such as Tai Ping Carpets.
Think beyond size when designing a bathroom in Hong Kong
Wallpaper designers are bringing a touch of nature indoors with textured finishes such as grass cloth manufactured using natural fibres of jute, reed and arrowroot.
The look of washed-out wood, leather, concrete, marble, brick and stone remains, and works well with leather and linen textures as well as wooden furniture. Feature walls papered in luxe finishes, such as silk or shiny metallics, add an upscale aesthetic.
In today's contemporary interior, artwork doesn't only belong on the walls. Whether it's a bespoke rug, a sculptured side table, a crotched lamp or handblown glassware, artworks fashioned by an artisanal "maker" are the must-have of the moment.

Buffalo Bills Trivia: When Colts were a rival
Check back each evening for a new trivia question about Buffalo's favorite football team.
Think you can match wits with our staff?
Here's today's question:
75. For how many seasons were the Colts and Bills rivals in the AFC East?
Scroll down ...
A. 32 seasons (1970-2001).
In the NFL-AFL merger agreement, the Colts were one of three former NFL teams that moved to the AFC for the 1970 season. They were slotted in the AFC East and stayed there when the team moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis for the 1984 season. In 2002, when the NFL had an even number of teams (32) and realigned to four, four-team divisions in each conference, the Colts joined the new AFC South.

So, I need some more suggestions - I think I'll up my budget to £300 - £400 What should I get? Thoughts so far are the Pioneer 636 - although I've heard that this one has layer change delays. Things I'm looking for are: 1) Good picture quality, no artifacts etc. 2) Coaxial AC3/DTS out 3) CD/CD-R (maybe RW) audio playback Thanks for any suggestions.

Francesco Sisci to Norman Bailey: China is Western but not Western
Norman I think you are asking the real question of questions, as Thomas Aquinas would say. The answer is somewhat confusedin my mind. In a very small way, as this is the point I was trying to address in my booklet "A Brave New China."
China now resembles more the "West" than its own past. In many external aspects it is more western than India, Thailand or Japan. Women do not wear qipao (which incidentally was Manchu) unlike Indian or Japanese women, who still wearing saris or kimonos, for instance.
However the Chinese think of themselves, their present and their future is still taken from their imperial histories. This creates a strange mix of misinterpretation and misrepresentation of their reality as well as the reality out of China. That is mother of their own mistakes.
They are saved, I think, by the fact that America and Europe also misinterpret and misrepresent themselves because of what of the list of faults that you, Norman, published.
Are we the enlightened ones, while all peoples are in the dark? Even if so, our light would be no use, in a world of blindness, sight is the worst enemy, to be eradicated.
But I honestly think that for the West or for China this mix or "being and not being" (say in China: being "Western", but in a way that the west never really was) is constantly changing. This is very, very hard for anybody to pin down.

Welcome to the Florida Department of Education's web site. Every day we work hand in hand with parents, academics, educators and community members to improve Florida's schooling system for college students of all backgrounds and skills. Our new website reflects this cooperative relationship and the position that so many Floridians play in ensuring student success.
We consider in giving again to the genealogical neighborhood. Individually, we have all spent numerous hours volunteering for genealogical societies and organizations, as speakers, writers, editors, board members, consultants, and more. A share of the proceeds from our courses is earmarked for assist of group projects for work of curiosity to genealogists. These projects could embody records preservation and elevated access to supplies amongst others.
In 2017 we will be celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the History of Education Society. To mark this event, we are planning a 'Special Edition' of the History of Education Researcher journal for publication in May 2017. We plan to publish a group that includes quite a few brief, autobiographical, and private reflections on the previous, present and future of the Society and on the research area of historical past of schooling more typically. We envisage a range of contributions, with authors writing temporary responses to a collection of questions; a kind of written interview. These contributions might be written informally, however we hope they will stimulate curiosity and curiosity, and provoke thought and dialogue.
The best strategy to counter theses issues is to occupy them throughout these breaks. The boy with autism in my literature class often came to me during recess for piano classes. He saved himself gainfully busy. What an excellent hub! This is crammed with 'every little thing-you-wished-to-know-about-educational-area-trips-in-Philadelphia'. Great ideas and the photos present 'buyer satisfaction' for certain! No, but my grandchildren will shortly go to a few of the websites you've discovered for us. Thanks for a great lens.
I've just began taking part in Simon says with my son. It took him some time to understand that you're not meant to do issues when I don't say Simon says however he actually enjoys the game. You could make it fairly bodily to burn off energy. Some things I get him doing are leaping, hopping, running across the room, spinning, dancing, touching his toes etc.

Fungal infections of the toenails can be a persistent and at times embarrassing problem. If they are left untreated they can become painful. The infections develop when the type of fungi known as dermatophytes burrow under the nails making them crusty, discoloured, thick and distorted.
The first sign of toenail fungus is a yellow or white spot appearing underneath the tip of the nail. The spot then thickens and causes distortion to the nail as the infection progresses. Then crusting, darkening and discolouration begin as fungi progress under and into the nail.
A toenail fungal infection can be picked through walking barefoot in a gym locker room or shower, at a swimming pool or even when you have a pedicure in a less-than-sanitary place. People with diabetes, a history of athlete's foot or who are prone to excessive perspiration are more susceptible to the fungi.
Let us now have a look at some of the remedies to the toenail fungal infections. If the condition continues to spread further or is painful, then consult your doctor.
Tea tree oil
This is a natural fungicide and also has some antiseptic qualities. Tea tree oil is made from leaves of the tea tree. Although it is natural, tea tree oil can be quite potent and should therefore never be ingested. After applying to the infected toenails, you are certain to see an improvement in your nails over a few months. For more information, check out How To Use Tea Tree Oil For Toenail Fungus Treatment
Vinegar soak
Vinegar is also known to have some antifungal properties although its acidity is quite mild and may not be strong enough to kill already established fungus. The mild acidity is likely to prevent fungus infections though.

Vicks VapoRub
Vicks VapoRub has a combination of several ingredients that have antifungal properties. A lot of people have reported success with using it to clear fungal infections but in almost all the cases you have to catch the infection in its early stages. The only downside with VapoRub is that the petroleum jelly that it has can trap moisture in or around your toenails, which might actually aid fungus growth!
Listerine mouthwash
In addition to killing germs and bacteria in the mouth, Listerine mouthwash can also be a remedy for toenail fungus. The mouthwash contains alcohol as well as several compounds that are an antiseptic strong enough to keep harmful bacteria and fungi away.
Baking soda and vinegar soak
Baking soda does not necessarily kill the fungus but it is fungistatic, which means it can stop fungus from growing and spreading. This is because of its alkalinity. You mix a cup of vinegar with enough water to soak your feet in. After soaking for 15 minutes, pat the feet dry with paper towels. Then add several tablespoons of baking soda to enough water and soak your feet in the water for 15 minutes. In essence the vinegar will kill the fungus while the baking soda will inhibit the growth of more fungus.
Zetaclear Topical Treatment
My final solution to the toenail fungus is a topical toenail fungus treatment called ZetaClear. This is a highly popular and effective method of getting rid of toenail fungus. I have written a complete review of this product here. You can read the full review or purchase this product directly by clicking here (aff. link).
Whichever treatment you choose, take note of the following precautions to prevent recurrences:
(a)Make sure your feet are always as clean and dry as possible
(b)Have waterproof sandals at public swimming pools or at other wet public areas
(c)Change your socks daily
(d)Always keep your toenails shorter than the toes' tips
(e)Wear synthetic fabric socks that wicks moisture away from the feet.

Weekly News Brief – 17 Feb 2011
- 1000 NK workers have been added to the Kaesong Industrial Complex, bringing the workforce up to 46,000. Production at the KIC rose by 26% last year despite the tensions, with production totalling 323m USD.
- Photo of teen wearing Adidas cap sideways in Pyongyang. Nuclear weapons not pictured. Other things don't change though – jumping on the foreign devil is still fun.
- KJI's 3 main health problems at age 70 are said to be recovering from his 2008 stroke, chronic renal failure from diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. His birthday on Wednesday was marked with a Kimjongilia festival, swimming and ice skating performances in Pyongyang, and he received birthday presents from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) including a giant porcelain peach bun (symbolizing longevity), a sculpture and 4 DVDs. Among his other crimes, KJI's birthday completely ruins Valentine's day in NK.
- A former SK deputy spy chief has speculated that the succession will take 5 years and that there is little chance of any power group betraying KJU. KJU has been named vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, effectively the number 2 spot in NK.
- The SK govt has said that NK has revived its 'Office 38' for managing Kim Jong-il's slush funds. In 2009 it had been merged with Office 39, but it has been revived as a separate entity after apparent difficulties in earning foreign currency.
- Pyongyang has been downsized – an administrative reorganisation has cut 500K from its poulation of 3 million, probably to reduce the financial burden of the 'showcase capital'.
- In a probable sign of insecurity, NK state media has been emphasising 'spiritually arming the young' and warning against materialism, ideological corruption and the 'sick culture of capitalism'.
- NK is developing an internet strategy of 'walled gardens' and 'mosquito nets', but the internet is only accessible by 4% of the population. They may eventually take cues from China in dealing with an internet where 'misinformation' is disguised as "people's opinions" and sites spreading 'erotic and violent information' have to be blocked.
- In the midst of struggling with its foot and mouth disease flare-up, KCNA is blaming the spread of FMD in Asia squarely on SK, which has had an unprecedented outbreak. NK may face a harder task dealing with FMD partly because of their heavy reliance on oxen in agriculture.
- Radio Free Asia reports that a tank battalion is kept hidden in Pyongyang, ready to quell any uprising.
- SK's Ministry of Unification stated that resumption of food aid to NK is dependent on improvements in N-S relations, not even pretending that humanitarian assistance is delinked from politics.
- An association of SK relief groups have appealed to the SK govt for permission to deliver aid such as children's thermal underwear to NK and has argued against the use of humanitarian aid as a political tool. The SK govt rejected a recent request by the association to visit NK to monitor the distribution of relief supplies to flood victims.
- The WFP and FAO have launched a joint survey of food security in NK, and have reportedly been allowed to visit 30 cities in Jagang and North Gangwon Province that were previously off-limits due to proximity to military installations. The survey will conclude in early March, which will be an opportunity for govts to decide whether to resume food aid to NK.
- Dick Lugar, lead Republican on US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned that food aid to NK should be dependent on proper monitoring. The USG says it has not decided whether to resume food aid.
- Officials from the EU, US and Australia have said that any food aid to NK must be multilateral not bilateral, and will demand far more intrusive inspections to make sure aid is not diverted to the military. Western diplomats are reportedly concerned that denying food aid could lead to NK creating more provocations. UN inspectors estimate that about 5m people – 20% of the population – are malnourished. The total annual food shortfall is consistently about 1m tonnes, but it may be exacerbated by the harsh winter and the FMD outbreak.
- NK and Chinese Security Chiefs met in Pyongyang and signed an agreement on cooperation between the two countries' security organs. The Chinese Ministry of Public Security also donated unspecified 'aid materials' to NK's Ministry of People's Security. This is likely related to PRC-DPRK border security. Border security was tightened after a similar meeting in Beijing in December 2009. NK border guards are now said to be able to hunt escapees in China 'at will'.
- A survey has found 50% of NK refugees' households earn below 1m won (900 USD) per month, 23% earn less than 500,000 won/month, underscoring the economic difficulties they continue to face.
- 80% of NK refugees in SK fail to stay in any job for 2 years, compared to the SK average of 47%. An over-representation of women in the NK refugee sample may skew this indicator.
- Nearly half of NK refugees have sent money back to their families in NK, according to a survey. Of remittances made last year, 12.5% said they sent less than 500,000 won, 31.7% sent between 500,000 and 1m won, 16.7% sent 1-2m won, 12.5% sent 2-3m won and 12.5% sent more than 5m won. 1m SK won reportedly covers around six months of living costs in NK. As well as money, the contact between relatives in SK and NK sends a 'wave' of information and news about capitalist SK into the North.
- A young North Korean man has made a rare and dangerous direct defection across the DMZ into SK.
- 77 NK refugees graduated (video) from Hankyoreh Middle and High Schools in SK, with 37 out of the 43 high school leavers going on to college.
- US special envoy for NK human rights issues Amb. Robert King: supporting NGOs working to improve HR in NK is USG's priority, and the flow of information into NK by these groups should be encouraged in order to break the control the govt has on its people.
- Seoul-based NGO North Korea Human Rights Database Centre has compiled over 5000 testimonies of HR violations from NK refugees and plans to make a case to the ICC.
- Joint US-ROK 'Key Resolve/Foal Eagle' military drills in late Feb/early March will shift emphasis to practising dealing with 'sudden change' scenarios in NK, including civil war sparked by a failed transition of power to KJU, public riots, securing WMD, refugee floods, a massive natural disaster, kidnapping of SK citizens in the North, and dealing with Chinese troops that may enter NK in the event of a crisis. SK and the US will also discuss their nuclear deterrence policy next month.
- SK lawmakers joined activists to float 100,000 anti-NK propaganda leaflets on balloons into NK. The leaflets included information about the popular uprisings in the Arab world.
- A minor opposition party lawmaker has called on the SK govt to develop its own nuclear weapons program in order to negotiate with NK on an equal footing.
- NK has called for N-S talks between the two sides' lawmakers.
- The Economist on SK's hawkish approach to NK, and its preparations for NK 'surprises', including terrorism.
- After the NK delegation's walk-out from N-S talks, the USG warned NK it will be further isolated if it fails to show seriousness in improving N-S relations, indicating that NK is still a long way from meeting the USG's minimum conditions for restarting the SPT.
- China's FM Yang will visit Seoul next Wednesday to discuss NK and its nuclear programme. China shares concern over NK's uranium enrichment program but thinks should be dealt with through the SPT and not the UNSC.
- NK exports to China reportedly rose by 52% to 1.2 billion USD last year, while Chinese exports to NK rose 21%.
- The number of Chinese tourists visiting NK has increased sharply after China eased 5 year old travel restrictions in July 2010.
- NK state media reported that China supports the power transition to KJU – "Meng warmly congratulated Kim Jong Il upon his reelection as general secretary of the WPK and Kim Jong Un upon his election as vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the WPK at the historic Conference of the WPK, hailing the successful solution of the issue of succession to the Korean revolution."
- A second, more advanced North Korean missile/space launch site appears to have been completed. There are no signs of an imminent missile launch. The USG continues to state its concern with the threat from NK's nuclear weapons and missile programs.
- Noland: The Yeonpyeong Island attack damaged NK's economy much more than SK's, because the Nov 2009 currency revaluation primed people to be wary of the NK won, and the high level of financial repression contributes to thin, underdeveloped markets that are more prone to panics and wild swings in prices.
- Gossip on Kim Jong-chol (KJI's 2nd son)'s holiday to Singapore. He reportedly attended a concert of his beloved Eric Clapton and bought birthday presents for his Dear Daddy. More gossip on the Kim clan, and if you really love royal court gossip there's a rumour that KJI has a 4th son, just 7 years old, and that KJC and KJU had kids of their own last year.
- NK state media has unsurprisingly maintained its complete silence about the Egyptian people's democratic movement.
- A SK soldier in a front-line unit was killed by gunshot wound to head. The military are investigating.
- Footage of KJI and KJU meeting The Chinese Minister for Public Security broadcast on CCTV, shot Monday this week in Pyongyang.
- Bizarre KCNA piece on distance learning in NK, "The study house gives distance lectures under the real-time conversation system whereby varieties of image, sound and information are provided both ways." Do they mean skype?
- UN rapporteur Frank La Rue has criticised South Korea for restricting freedom of expression.
- A quite incredible story of irrepressible love between a Vietnamese man and a North Korean woman.
