Kitchens tend, by necessity, to have a lot going on. The kitchen is a room with a very clear function, and it requires a broad range of specific equipment and accessories in order to fulfil that function (unlike, say, a living room, which essentially only needs a sofa or a couple of comfy armchairs to have earned its title). Therefore it’s no surprise that so many homeowners and interior designers embrace a deliberately busy aesthetic in this particular part of the house. A lot of the time, it works really very well: dangling pots and pans, herbs and spices, crockery hanging along the wall and patterned tiles and rugs galore. There’s no denying an eclectic vibe can suit many kitchen perfectly. But the alternative is also well worth exploring: going in completely the opposite direction by pursuing simplicity and consistency in your kitchen layout. Yes, sometimes a very basic kitchen design can seem a bit industrial and unwelcoming, like the kitchen in a restaurant; but as the photos below show, it’s also possible to create a comfortingly domestic space out of completely uncomplicated building blocks and a very limited colour palette.
This kitchen is very simple and almost a little cold in its design, with its extensive use of white surface, stainless steel and its total lack of ornamentation. However, the inclusion of a backboard on one of the walls introduces a sense of fun to the room, lightening the mood and making it clear that this is a space that really is well lived in, even if it doesn’t seem to be at first glance.
Here is a good example of a room that is fairly basic and doesn’t look over planned, and yet still has a lot of character. Nothing matches – from the dining chairs to the lampshades to the woods used for the various furniture items – yet everything works in perfect harmony together. This is partly due to the restricted number of colours used, and the disciplined decision to keep them all very neutral.
Colour – who needs it?
Everything in this room appears to follow a very traditional, country kitchen style model: large kitchen tiles, patterned floors, wooded chairs with pretty cushions… the significant difference, though, is that almost all the colours have been drained from this room. Where you might expect traditional pine or a warm, homey print, there is only white (and a very, very small amount of red and black). The result is a powerful look that’s both comforting and contemporary, like your mother’s kitchen if your mother just happened to be really, really cool.
This kitchen is filled with just enough of the essentials of cooking that it doesn’t look too sparsely furnished, but the decor has been kept very restrained. Even an oversized light bulb has been chosen in lieu of a lampshade, and the brick walls have been painted white rather than using tiles. The most notable feature of the room has to be the beautiful cabinet in which the crockery is displayed. Its patterned interior adds a very subtle touch of warmth to the room. This look would also be very easy to recreate yourself – all you need is a second-hand cabinet in decent condition and a roll of pretty wallpaper of your own choosing.
What's your preferred style of kitchen decor? Does your own kitchen reflect this?

Although the framework automatically enhances form elements and buttons into touch input optimized controls to streamline development, it's easy to tell jQuery Mobile to leave these elements alone so the standard, native control can be used instead.
Adding the data-role="none" attribute to any form or button element tells the framework to not apply any enhanced styles or scripting. The examples below all have this attribute in place to demonstrate the effect. You may need to write custom styles to lay out your form controls because we try to leave all the default styling intact.

STOCKS | With drug sales slowing, some investors are BAILING OUT OF MERCK. Should you?
MERCK'S reputation as a monster stock is at stake. Its price has tumbled 28% from its peak in late 2000, a stunning setback for shareholders of the world's second-biggest pharmaceuticals maker.
In part, this is payback for Merck's laughing off the early stages of the 2000-01 bear market. Its shares soared 40% in the final nine months of 2000, while Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell 12%. But since the start of this year, many investors, concerned about an uninspiring sales outlook, have been bailing out. "For years, it was the king of pharmaceuticals," says Ken McQuade, an analyst at Waddell & Reed, in Kansas City. "But it's no longer the largest or the most consistent grower."
Two companies in one. Like rivals such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly and Pfizer, Merck develops a wide range of prescription drugs. But unlike its chief competitors, Merck is really in two businesses: drugs and employee benefits. It derives half of its sales from Merck-Medco, which contracts with insurers to distribute drugs and administer benefits.
Sales at Medco are growing about 50% this year, while Merck's drug revenues are growing just 6%. But profit margins for Medco's service business are much lower than the margins for drugs, so Merck's overall profit margin is falling. Investors might forgive the Medco profit drag if they could count on some sizzling new drugs. But Merck faces several near-term challenges on the drug side: It recently lost or will soon lose patent protection on five important drugs, including the U.S. rights to Prilosec, a popular treatment for heartburn. That puts some 21% of its annual drug sales of $20 billion up for grabs by makers of generics. Meanwhile, sales of Vioxx, an anti-inflammatory drug, have lagged. Merck predicted that the drug would generate $3 billion to $3.5 billion in sales in 2001. But through the first half of the year, Merck moved just $1.2 billion worth of Vioxx.
A thin pipeline. To make matters worse, analysts see no new big products in development to goose growth. Merck has a few products in late stages of clinical trials, but no major new drug is likely to win government approval before late next year.
Merck says the doubters underestimate its formidable line of products already on the market. Treasurer Caroline Dorsa says the company is relying on five "key growth drivers": Cozaar (for hypertension), Fosamax (osteoporosis), Singulair (asthma), Vioxx and Zocor (cholesterol). "Four of these compete in markets where at least 20 million people in the U.S. are not being treated for these conditions," says Dorsa. Sales of Vioxx, she says, will pick up once the drug wins approval for applications beyond arthritis pain. The other four are meeting or exceeding Merck's forecasts, she adds.
Merck's stock sells at 20 times 2002 earnings estimates. That seems a fair price for a world-class company that, for all its problems, will generate some earnings growth even in a lousy economy. But don't expect any big gains until investors feel more confident about drug sales.

Rose is very active in the International Water Association and was at the helm of the International Water Chief Executive Organization forum held in June 2016 that brought together 14 CEOs from various water utilities in Africa and 56 key stakeholders to deliberate on the strategic priorities of the water sector in Africa and efforts to strengthen collaboration.
Ethiopia strives to be the hub of renewably sourced energy in the region and beyond. Ethiopian Electric Power is instrumental to this ambitious plan. EEP is a sole provider of bulk electricity to users, mainly to the Ethiopian Electric Utility; direct industrial customers; and exports to neighbouring countries. Djibouti and the Sudan are connected to Ethiopia by a high-voltage power line.
EEP operates and maintains more than 12 hydropower and three wind power plants distributed in different parts of the country with installed capacity of more than 4290MW, including the Gibe III plant (1870MW). There are two major hydropower projects under construction, namely the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (6000MW) and GenaleDawa 3 (254MW).
The Lilongwe Water Board is a statutory organisation that supplies water to the residents of Lilongwe, the capital City of Malawi and its surrounding areas. Currently, Lilongwe City has a population of about 1,000,000 and the company serves around 70% of the population. There are about 65,000 metered customers and more than 700 water Kiosks (communal water selling points) within the City. The total pipe network for LWB is estimated at 1,600 Km.
Successes in 2016/17 include the significant strides it has made in the reduction of Non-Revenue Water from around 41% in January 2016 to 26% by December 2016 thereby offering a cheaper water source in a way and by increasing capacity to deliver services by initiation and completion of infrastructure projects.
ACCIONA, SENER and TSK built Concentrated Solar Power plant in South Africa set a new African record for the continuous, round the clock supply of electricity. Within the first month of commercial operation, the newly-inaugurated 50 MW Bokpoort CSP plant, produced electricity for a continuous period of 161 hours, equivalent to almost six days.
Bokpoort CSP’s 50MW is equal to powering 21 000 households and has over 8 600 collectors at the plant with more than 136 000 mirrors. At its construction peak, over 1 300 jobs were created at the plant, filled largely by the local community previously dependent on farm work.
“It is a great honour for us to be recognised amongst all our peers across the continent. There are not many small scale projects such as ours around in South Africa so we sometimes feel a little bit on our own. We do our best to try and keep the standard high so for me and my team this is great encouragement that we are going in the right direction” – this is according to Anton-Louis Olivier, MD of Stortemelk Hydro.
Stortemelk Hydro RF is located in Clarens in the Free State, South Africa and has a capacity of 4.5MW. The Stortemelk Hydro will result in a reduction of 540 000 tons of CO2 emissions over its 20 year life span and was constructed on an existing dam.
The Hydro is the first to use a vertical Kaplan turbine and air cooled indoor transformers in hydro power in South Africa. The highly integrated and compact design reduces operational risk and maintenance costs. The project was constructed on time and on budget with 98% availability in the first 6 months.
“What is really unique about Solar Turtle are the safety features for women working in high crime rate areas such as informal settlements, rural communities or war-torn countries of the world. That is what we are really hoping to achieve. Not just making examples for the next generation of women to follow, but doing it safely.” So said James van der Walt, CEO of Solar Turtle, who accepted the award at the gala dinner on Wednesday night.
The SolarTurtle is an ultra-secure solar powered MU in a box. Shipping containers are converted into small, mobile solar power stations. These SolarTurtles are designed for off-grid schools where conventional solar PV solutions will not work. In crime-ridden areas across Africa traditional solar PV solutions have failed. The solar panels are typically stolen within a few months of deployment. The problem is so severe that the Gauteng provincial government was prepared to dismiss solar power as a possible electricity solution for schools and community centres.
The SolarTurtle is a solar kiosk designed for unparalleled security and maximum portability. These container-based solar kiosks are assembled off site then deployed by simply offloading the container and unfolding the panels towards the sun. In the morning when it is safe the panels are unfolded from their secure location to feed from the rays of the sun. In the evening when it is unsafe the panels are folded away into the hard shell of the container. The power from the SolarTurtle feeds the school and a small woman-owned solar kiosk business inside the container.
In July 2016 a consortium led by French multinational electric utility company Engie achieved financial close on the 100MW Kathu Solar Park project in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Developed by the consortium, the park is sponsored by the SIOC Community Development Trust, Lereko Metier, Public Investment Corporation, Investec Bank, and the Kathu Local Community Trust. Lenders on the project are Rand Merchant Bank, Nedbank Capital, ABSA Capital, Investec, and the Development Bank of Southern Africa.
Once in operation, Kathu Solar Park will have the capacity to supply 80,000 households across South Africa and will help reduce carbon emissions by 300,000t every year. The solar project is expected to be connected to the grid by the end of 2018, supplying clean and dispatchable electricity to the South African power utility Eskom under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The great thing about this past weekend was I got three days in a row off plus lots of family time. The only negative was it was a go, go, go type of weekend that started off rough. I took last Friday off to spend with family and get ready for the big party on Saturday (my grandpa's 80th birthday party). Instead we wound up celebrating the oldest mini's birthday once I realized we hardly had any other time to do it throughout the rest of the weekend (big mom oops there). We spent a few hours at the Blank Park Zoo on Friday. Unfortunately, most of the day was not so fun because of whiny and grouchy kids who suddenly forgot how to follow directions. I was not a very happy mama by the middle of the afternoon.
Before going to the zoo, the minis played "going on vacation." They made their own minivan with little chairs and stools.
Max is obsessed with maps and reading them.
The bird that followed me around.
It wound up being a really hot day. We had to pause for drinks.
After a VERY long and challenging day, I informed the boys I had had it with their bickering and behavior. I made them "talk their issues through" before bed so the rest of the weekend wasn't so rough. This picture was probably my favorite moment of the weekend. The boys suddenly got shy and timid with each other. I totally hid behind our other couch so I could snap this photo.
Saturday was our crazy day. Max chose brunch at Americana for his birthday meal...but they only do brunch on the weekends. We also had my grandpa's party to get to at noon. So Saturday morning started early with a walk downtown to the Des Moines Art Festival (my favorite festival in Des Moines). The festival didn't open until 11 a.m. so some of the vendors weren't open, but quite a few of them had opened up their tents and had already started to sell their pieces because they didn't want to mess with opening in the heat. Score for us because we basically got to enjoy the art in no crowd. Then we had the best brunch town and walked around the Festival again.
The taco bar and mashed potato bar are favorites for these two.
The waitress heard it was Max's birthday and surprised him with a personal birthday cake with little toys all over it (completely free of charge!). This was already Max's favorite brunch place, but this just sealed the deal for him even more.
After brunch and a quick walk through the Sculpture Park, we raced to my grandpa's birthday party. It was great to see all of my cousins who I hardly see, but we all got to dance with our grandparents. It was a sweet afternoon spent with family. We spent the rest of the afternoon/evening with them and fit in good drinks, leftover food from the party, and a game of Cards Against Humanity (shoved into my grandparent's smallest bedroom in their house).
Harrison dancing with Great Grandma. I loved watching this....and even more so when he asked her to dance again as we were cleaning up from the party.
Sunday morning started off a bit more laid back than Saturday. We had time to sleep until 8 a.m., eat breakfast, go to Starbucks for our caffeine kick, and then go to my grandparent's house for family pictures. Lauren (also known as the other half of The Kidsperts) did a fantastic job getting the photos done!
Lunch with Grandma Ann after pictures.
Sunday late afternoon we snuck away to pick up the house, prep for the daycare week, and take the kids to the newest spray park in Des Moines (see the video here). It was a fantastic weekend with family! Now we're just days away from our big summer vacation getaway!

What is a typical punishment for a misdemeanor? Are they the same in every state? What are some general sentencing guidelines?
If you've been charged (or convicted) of a misdemeanor, or if you know somebody who has, the first thing you should do is look on the bright side - you are very lucky that it is not a felony which generally carry harsher sentences and are more likely to be on your record much longer.
Every state has their own set of sentencing guidelines and generally you see a different interpretation of these sentences from county to county (or even from city to city). For this reason you should not rely solely on internet research for your criminal defense - it can give you a good basic understanding, but you need to talk to an attorney who is a member of your state's bar to get real legal advice.
First of all, each state chooses their own classification system. For instance, one state might refer to different classes of misdemeanors as Type A, Type B, Type C, etc. while another state may call them 1'st, 2'nd and 3'rd class. In general, the higher the number or the letter, the less serious the crime. So, for instance, a class A misdemeanor would be worse than a class B misdemeanor and a 1'st degree felony is worse than a 2'nd degree felony.
These classifications usually indicate the maximum sentencing guidelines for each type of misdemeanor (jail time, fines, probation, etc.).
Some states such as California, however, do not classify misdemeanors in these broad categories at all - in California a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor. Sentencing guidelines are determined by the actual charges in states like California.

I was walking on a calm road. However, it ought to be a busy one, as it is right besides a busy ringroad. But this one is calm, you don't get to hear the honking of rash bus driven, its rare to spot a car or two. I am amongst the pedestrians who take resort to an evening walk everyday after work.
I know I come here to face my fear! To affirm that I am a brave girl. Of late I have observed myself facing my fears and this makes me feel high about myself. Ironically I feel that I am just being silly, nothing of this sort happens! Perhaps I am in love with this place, my accomplice for happy and sad times. When I am happy I want to take a long walk and celebrate my happiness with the trees and birds around. When I am sad I want to find a secluded corner to cry.
Today was a strange day. I woke up in the morning with someone knocking on the door of my room on opening it no one was there. While commuting a women passed by my car and on my shouting at her she gave a wicked smile to me, as if she wasn't scared of being hit by my car. The lift-man of the office building was a new guy who greeted me with a big smile, dressed like the doorman of five star hotels.
While this thought was crossing my mind, I saw a man coming towards me. He seem like a sensible gentleman in his early 40s. He sought me to guide him for the way to the ringroad. I was distracted from a self interrogation session. This is meant to be my me-time, I don't even take my mobile calls during this time. Irritated, I politely responded to his query to guide him a way to the ringroad. He seem confused and requested me to accompany him till the turn where it would be easier for me to help him locate the way.
Not wanting to walk towards the other end of the road with a stranger. I thought to start interacting with him. I have always been apprehensive about sharing my thoughts and vulnerability with someone known, as it would give them a means to for them to be judgemental. For the world, I am an introvert.
The gentleman introduced himself, I am Dr. Khocchar, I am a management professor at Harvard Business School. For a moment I was taken aback. HBS, well this is amongst the best b-schools in the world, rather the top most school. Ohh, I am Maanvi, I work as a researcher with Mc Kinsey!
I like this place, greenery and peace despite being a part of the national capital, he said.
Is it the first time you have come here? I asked.
He replied, yes, I was suppose to visit FMS, its good to come back to your country.
This being a campus area, I have been noticing a lot of billboards aimed at sensitising the youngsters about STDs, HIV, fighting eve teasers, and what not.... Is it actually safe? I have been reading quite a few things on Delhi being unsafe.
Yes its safe! I was be-dazed by his question. At least I have never noticed anything supernatural and I don't even want to, I thought.
Ohkkk... he seemingly was perturbed by my being stunned. Well its ought to be safe, I have seen police around, he was trying to get be back at ease.
I smiled at him and decided to share my vulnerability. I said actually you asking me this question took me off my senses. I took your question to a completely different connotation. I told him that I find this place unsafe and fear facing supernatural powers, but I still come here. He heard me with patience.
So you face your fear.. That's amazing, not many people can do it. I must say that you are a brave girl, this made me feel as it I am a kid and someone is telling me that I am the best! I just could not stop now, I started narrating all the instances and philosophies that I have about life and my fear. It was the time that we reached the corner of the road where we were suppose to part ways. He said that he would have loved to spend time with me, a brave girl!
Situation 1: He asked could we sit for some time together and talk about it. We sat roadside and discussed my philosophies with him. He was an amazing human being and I was no more an introvert. After an hour, he had to leave, we shared visiting cards and stayed in touch. He was someone who will remain unknown to me, but I have managed to have a pal to share my vulnerability with, without the fear of being judged.
Situation 2: Now however he had to leave as he had a to rush. Can we meet sometime in future, he asked while we exchanged cards. He promised to meet tomorrow and then vanished instantly in the air. He was a spirit... I was dead scared.
Situation 3: For today its not possible, I have to head for home. I notices a vendor staring at us. Can we meet tomorrow? He asked. Yes we can I said and we shook hands. We took our ways and looked back to pass the last glance for the day. He was not there. He perhaps vanished. I asked a vendor, where is the gentelman? He replied who gentelman. I have been noticing you talking to yourself. I was not scared, he perhaps we a ghost or an illusion. I plan to met him tomorrow. I know I am brave.
Author's Note: Which is the best situation of all... Please give your preference.
