I used to work in the IT industry. For almost twenty years I walked the computer rooms of such companies as Vodafone, Hutchison (now 3), Qantas and finally Telstra. The end came in the form of retrenchment notice after 7 years with the Big T. Our final day went pretty much unnoticed by the rest of the company as my department quietly packed up their desks. As no managers were present that day, I did my exit interview with a colleague; handed over my building pass and photo ID. There was no confetti thrown as I walked silently out of sliding glass doors and found myself on busy Elizabeth Street in Sydney.
There's not much love in big companies these days. When you work in IT for a while, things tend to become a bit detached from reality. There's always a new buzzword hovering around and someone, somewhere always finds a reason to complain about the colour of their desktop icon. None of it's really that important; becoming a carer grounded me on that. I don't miss working in the office too much, with all the company quirks and idiosyncratic policies.
Having said all the above, there still some great people toiling away in companies. They are the quiet achievers that you notice the most when they are absent. The ones working back late when others have gone home, the ones that make sure the meetings run on time and generally keep the place ticking over. You can sometimes find them in the kitchen dealing with the furry pizza from last years Christmas party. They are the problem solvers and organisational carers. These are the folk I'm most appealing to.
Which brings us to our problem. When I talk donations to charities, respite service providers and foundations, they always tell me the same thing, No one ever donates. If you take a look at the growing list of organisations in our Resource Directory they all have a myriad of Donate buttons of different shapes and sizes, some encouraging you to telephone in your donation and others have a neat little secure form where you can make a pledge. Yet, these buttons show no signs of wear and tear from over clicking.
We sporadically hear about the fundraising events such as those dedicated souls who run the width of the country, crossing the Nullarbor for charity. While we are all well aware of the commitment that keeps something like the Westpac rescue helicopter in the air and are constantly reminded of the dedication of the Ronald McDonald houses, it seems to be the general, garden varitiey donation from mid to large organisations that are not being made. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2007 in the social services section of the Not-for-profit Organisations category, 54.6% of all income to these organisations was delivered by Federal, State and Local government. The rest of the income is made up of sale of goods and income of services (thats if the organisation has the ability to charge for those). The final amount of income is counted at 13.1% and is classified as all other income, which could be donations, fundraising, etc. The total income received by these organisations was $11.7 billion which seems like a lot until you read their total expenses figure of $10.4 billion, mostly accounted for in labour costs.
As you can see, our charities are always operating at the margins. Government grants and funding for them can only go so far. Just like operating your business, the daily cost of expenses such as that of rising fuel for transport are always placing great pressure on these organisations.
Like us at info4carers, families everywhere rely on the support of charities, our respite service providers and foundations for equipment, rest and funding. Our ability to earn has become impacted. Some of us are on a carer or disability pension while others are reduced to a single income where Mum gives up work entirely to become the carer and leaving Dad as the sole breadwinner.
Contrary to popular opinion in the wider community, if you find yourself needing a wheelchair, it doesn't just roll up to your bedside as you're receiving your diagnosis. As my Dad is fond of saying, everything is a bloody fight. Jaden's current wheelchair, his 3rd, cost $9,000 which he will eventually grow out of and for which we must soon start the funding process again. We're still living in a pre-NDIS world here (National Disability Insurance Scheme), it's NDIS BC.
All this got me thinking. How can I now use my IT skills to promote donations; to best use my IT powers for good? How best to enclose the circle of Donors, Charities and the Families they support?
So here's a buzzword of my own. DonorAds or donations for advertising webspace. You might be a philanthropist, director of a multi-national company or perhaps a small to medium business owner. May be you own a local cafe. Here's my pitch; you donate to one of the registered charities, respite service providers or foundations in our resource directory, tell us about it and we'll advertise your product or service on our website for free. It may take the form of a small button with a link, a larger banner or perhaps an article on your service or product.
We'd love to see products that benefit people with a disability and carers but we're happy to promote other companies with a passion for donation. In return you get three compelling benefits:
1. Free Advertising.
2. A Tax Deduction. As defined by the Australia Taxation Office : Deductions for gifts can be claimed by the person or organisation that makes the gift (the donor). A donor can be an individual, company, trust or other type of taxpayer.
3. Stay bookmarked to this website to see where donations go. There's all ready a few articles here showing you the practical application for the money.
There will be a few rules, though. No products that harm people or animals, and goods and services with a "G" rating only. For instance, ads promoting the benefits of Japanese Whaling wont get a run. Of course, we reserve the right to withdraw the advertisement at any time, should a compelling reason arise.
To view our traffic statistics, please click on the "Articles" menu item or follow this link Articles to display the hits (visits) to pages.
Perhaps you're all ready ahead of me on this. If your company is all ready well down the track on donations we'd love to hear about it so please write and tell us. If your favourite charity is not listed in our resource directory and it's relevant to disability, carers or education, please let us know about it also.
Perhaps we could see this initiative will take flight in the mainstream media. The host, such as an online newspaper, might reserve a portion of their advertising web space for DonorAds with companies donating to any registered charity in exchange for it. I'll admit there's not a lot in it for the host, mostly good will and kudos. However, we'd be evolving the old television Community Service Announcement into another medium.
That's my pitch. It's up the flagpole, waving there in the breeze. Now to see if anyone salutes.

|A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques
|Guan, Zhigang
|Awarding Body:
|Edinburgh Napier University
|Current Institution:
|Edinburgh Napier University
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
Reed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that ReedMuller algebraic techniques are particularly suitable for arithmetic circuits. In fact, no practical application in this field can be found in the open literature. This project investigates existing Reed-Muller algebraic techniques and explores their application in arithmetic circuits. The work described in this thesis is concerned with practical applications in arithmetic circuits, especially for minimizing logic circuits at the transistor level. These results are compared with those obtained using the conventional Boolean algebraic techniques. This work is also related to wider fields, from logic level design to layout level design in CMOS circuits, the current leading technology in VLSI. The emphasis is put on circuit level (transistor level) design. The results show that, although Boolean logic is believed to be a more general tool in logic design, it is not the best tool in all situations. Reed-Muller logic can generate good results which can't be easily obtained by using Boolean logic. F or testing purposes, a gate fault model is often used in the conventional implementation of Reed-Muller logic, which leads to Reed-Muller logic being restricted to using a small gate set. This usually leads to generating more complex circuits. When a cell fault model, which is more suitable for regular and iterative circuits, such as arithmetic circuits, is used instead of the gate fault model in ReedMuller logic, a wider gate set can be employed to realize Reed-Muller functions. As a result, many circuits designed using Reed-Muller logic can be comparable to that designed using Boolean logic. This conclusion is demonstrated by testing many randomly generated functions. The main aim of this project is to develop arithmetic circuits for practical application. A number of practical arithmetic circuits are reported. The first one is a carry chain adder. Utilising the CMOS circuit characteristics, a simple and high speed carry chain is constructed to perform the carry operation. The proposed carry chain adder can be reconstructed to form a fast carry skip adder, and it is also found to be a good application for residue number adders. An algorithm for an on-line adder and its implementation are also developed. Another circuit is a parallel multiplier based on 5:3 counter. The simulations show that the proposed circuits are better than many previous designs, in terms of the number of transistors and speed. In addition, a 4:2 compressor for a carry free adder is investigated. It is shown that the two main schemes to construct the 4:2 compressor have a unified structure. A variant of the Baugh and Wooley algorithm is also studied and generalized in this work.

Stroke occurs when a blood vessel feeding the brain bursts or is clogged, causing a sudden disruption in the blood flow to the brain. Carotid artery disease is one of the leading causes of strokes. This screens the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque buildup by visualizing the buildup of fatty plaque in them. A vascular technologist applies an acoustic gel on the neck over carotid arteries. A painless instrument, referred to as a transducer, is moved around neck to visualize the inside of the carotid artery. With this screen we can estimate the degree of blockage, if any, in your carotid arteries.
Call (541) 382-8346 to schedule a screening exam.

I purchase based on my previous Bell Star helmet and have to say the improvements in vision are amazing, especially in a tucked racing position. Ventilation remains excellent and the new interior made it easy for me to replace the cheek pads for my desired fit. One of the things I have noticed from other brands of helmets is how aerodynamic the shell is, I have very minimal head movement at race speeds approaching 180mph. This is great to keep fatigue down and concentrate better on my race lines and competition. Overall this new design has gone far and beyond my expectations!
I love it. Not only it looks exotic, it feels great. Made the riding so easy too. It proved that Bell has put some hardcore science into this helmet. It was worth the $800.

- By Eric Webb, Austin American-Statesman
First lady Melania Trump, along with second lady Karen Pence, traveled to Texas on Wednesday to visit with first responders and check on Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. And if there's anything politicians (or in this case, politicians' spouses) love to do when they're on a visit, it's make a stop at a purveyor of local cuisine. Trump and Pence flew through Corpus Christi, which means Whataburger.
According to social media reports (including tweets from reporters along for the trip, as well as a White House official), the first and second lady stopped by the venerable Texas burger chain and walked out with at least some of those famous fries. The rest of their order is unknown (so far), but the tweets about the pit stop are quite a journey.
Reporters in the press pool said the first and second lady treated them to fries.
Officials in Texas approved. The orange and the white, as ever, proved to be a unifying force.
According to the San Antonio Express-News, Trump and Pence stopped at the Whataburger at 602 Padre Island Drive.

Are the Chicago Cubs, Right Now, the Best Team in Baseball?
The headline question is a much more difficult question to answer that it might appear on first glance. Indeed, given the nature of the sport, it might be impossible to know definitively which team is the best at any given time. Even after 162 games, we're rarely certain which team was the best when you strip away the flukes, the schedules, and everything else that distracts from the true talent on the field.
So, then, maybe it's not something you can answer with logic, reason, and/or statistics. Maybe it's one of those rare instances where the gut take is the best you can offer.
Matt Snyder took up the question in the latest installment of the CBS power rankings, and he landed on the Cubs as the team at the top, right-now-here-as-we-sit-and-breathe.
You should read Snyder's article for his rationale, which is actually quite solid.
Consider that, since August 1 – a not entirely arbitrary endpoint, since it is the first day after the Trade Deadline – the Cubs and Blue Jays have the best records in baseball, with the Blue Jays (33-14) slightly ahead of the Cubs (34-15).
Instinctually, you were already thinking that those are the best teams in baseball right now, weren't you? I certainly was.
That's not homerism, mind you; it's an acknowledgement that, in the constant ebb and flow of a baseball season, teams are clicking and clunking at different times. The Blue Jays have been fantastic for a while now. So have the Cubs.
The Pirates have been great lately, too, and the Cardinals – slumping now – have been otherworldly over the course of the full season. Those two, together with the Cubs, have the best records in baseball, so, at a minimum, we're zeroing in on the right group of teams. Throw in the Dodgers and Royals, and that's probably the group.
What do you think? I could make an argument – mostly from my gut – that says the best team in true talent is the Dodgers. But the Cubs are inarguably outplaying them right now.

IUPUI named a 2012 Tree Campus USA
March 6, 2013

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis is a Tree Campus USA for the first time, the Arbor Day Foundation has announced.
"I am thrilled with IUPUI receiving the Tree Campus USA designation from the Arbor Day Foundation," said Colleen McCormick, director of the IUPUI Office of Sustainability. "Trees provide many benefits in urban environments. Some of these include reduce energy costs, lower urban air temperatures, reduce negative impacts of air and water pollution, improve health and well-being, reduce crime, and create wildlife and plant diversity. This designation demonstrates the commitment that IUPUI has and will continue to have for supporting and expanding the amount of trees on campus."
Tree Campus USA is a national program created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. Toyota helped launch the program and continues its generous financial support this year.
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis achieved the title by meeting Tree Campus USA's five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures toward trees, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning projects.
Achieving the Tree Campus USA designation was a goal Steve Stringer, Campus Facility Services' manager for Ground Services, set several years ago.
"Seeing so many campus groups come together, working toward a common goal, has been a tremendous benefit of this effort," Stringer said. "There was collaboration by the Office of Sustainability, the IU Office of University Landscape Architects, Campus Facility Services, Grounds Services, a Department of Geography tree mapping student project, support from IUPUI Honors College and a student supported by a scholarship from the Office of Service Learning who assisted with gathering and organizing the information to complete the application," Stringer said.
"The IUPUI Solution Center provided matching grant money through its Community Venture Fund to support four student interns who, under the direction of assistant professor of geography Daniel Johnson, worked on the project during the summer of 2012." The students conducted a tree count and spatial analysis of the IUPUI tree canopy, which included more than 3,000 trees.
For more information about the IUPUI Tree Advisory Committee visit here and here.
To fulfill one of the requirements to involve the campus community and an outside supporting organization, IUPUI teamed with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to organize an Arbor Day tree planting event in April 2012."
The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota have helped campuses throughout the country plant hundreds of thousands of trees, and Tree Campus USA colleges and universities invested $23 million in campus forest management last year. More information about the program is available at arborday.org/TreeCampusUSA.

I'm so very excited that Nick and I can finally announce that we are getting married Friday, June 10th 2011 at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel here in our hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Four years ago I moved from the greater Seattle area to Las Vegas, NV. I had never been here before and ran across his profile on Myspace of all places. He had moved here from Boca Raton, Florida so we had a new town in common.
I had never been the one to start a conversation online with someone I did not know, so was totally scared to both hear back from him ... or not.
He emailed me back and we talked back and forth for about a month before we decided to meet in person. My first thought when I saw him in person was that I had gone insane meeting some guy off the internet. He was so good-looking and his smile was even more beautiful than in his pictures. What was I doing there??!!
I could hardly believe that he was actually normal - Good looking, hard working, good father, wonderful boyfriend.
Fast forward four years- we've been together almost every day since. April this year we went on a midnight walk. It was a beautiful night. It's so quite where we live. The stars were so bright. He got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I can't wait!!!
We have a beautiful home together and my now 11 year old daughter and his now 9 year old son are going to be brother and sister. Best of all I'm getting going to have the best husband in the entire world.

Update January 2017
January was a productive monthly for the team at Elaine Securities Plc ("Elaine") with some interesting deals we are investigating and hoping to secure in February.
Current Investments
Elaine currently has seven investments.
- Elaine has a participation of £200,000 in a secured 8-month bridge facility of £5m, to complete the acquisition of a commercial property in Liverpool. A first ranking legal charge on the property (which is valued at £9.5m) along with additional security from two other properties has been obtained as security for the loan.
- A £900k loan to, and equity holding in an SPV that purchased a private aircraft with an existing lease agreement. Elaine holds one-third of the loan and the equity in the borrower SPV. The lessee was due to commence the lease in early January 2017, however as anticipated, the lessee did not commence, and the borrower SPV has taken ownership of the aircraft. The SPV now intends to sell the aircraft and is actively marketing the sale. A further update on the status of the loan will be provided in the next announcement.
- A 19-month loan for £970,000 (initially) as participation in a syndicated facility (of a total loan of £3,129,000), which was used to acquire a commercial property near Heathrow. Under the Governments' Permitted Development Rights, the borrower intends to convert the existing office space into residential apartments. A first ranking charge on the property and a debenture over the corporate borrower has been secured. The senior tranche portion of the loan was sold during November representing a repayment of over £326,000. The borrower is now in the final stages of documentation with a new lender to refinance the bridge loan so we expect to receive full repayment shortly, releasing over £600k that can be deployed in future investments
- A loan in the amount of £120k as participating in a syndicated facility (of a total loan of £1,282,050) to refinance an existing loan and to fund a redevelopment. The loan is to be secured against a 15th Century Grade II listed building in Cobham, Surrey. The building is to be used as a hotel / restaurant.
- A term loan facility provided to a corporate borrower for periodic draw down to fund the provision of motor stocking facilities to its motor vehicle traders. We have agreed to wind down this loan and accordingly a repayment schedule has been agreed, which envisages full repayment by late 2017.
- A one-year term loan facility to a corporate borrower due for final repayment in February 2017. This loan is secured against a potential development site in Purley, London. It is the intention of the borrower that the site will be marketed upon the granting of planning permission with the loan repayable on the earlier of the sale date or 25th February 2017.
- A loan facility to a corporate borrower to fund the acquisition of land at a development in Leeds. The purchase of an extra piece of land, located adjacent to the site has been secured expanding the overall scale of the development. The proposed scheme is to build eight detached houses (each with 4-6 bedrooms) and to refurbish one existing detached house. The loan repayment is upon sale of the first five units, which is estimated between July 2017 and November 2017.
Potential Investments
The team is currently exploring the following opportunities, among others:
- An 18-month loan facility of £800,000 in being negotiated to be used to assist in the purchase of an Aston Martin DB4 GT, secured against the contract for the vehicle that is to be built and valued at £1.5m. This loan may be funded through syndication with other lenders with a percentage to be determined.
- A participation in a 12 month loan of £1m, to be used as partial funding of the acquisition of development land in Scotland with full granted panning permission to be used as a leisure retreat.
Elaine currently has just under £200,000 in cash to participate in these investments, although we expect funds to be returned shortly from the repayment of the Heathrow loan.
We will update you again in the near future regarding these loans.
Yours sincerely,
Elaine Securities Plc

"Heritage institutions, like the Cité de l'énergie in Shawinigan, play an essential role in preserving our identity and sharing key aspects of our history. The Government of Canada is pleased to contribute to the expansion of such an important historical museum site."
- The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage
"The construction work that the Cité de l'énergie undertakes will enable visitors to have a richer museum experience, particularly through better access to the Museum of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: Canada in the World. This project will help showcase the historic heritage of both Shawinigan and the region."
- François-Philippe Champagne, Member of Parliament (Saint-Maurice-Champlain)
"With this financial assistance, the Cité de l'énergie can soon start work on the expansion and design of the Science Centre, which, once complete, will result in an all-new exhibition hall. Without the support of the Government of Canada, it would have been impossible to create the necessary infrastructure for the execution of such a project."
- Robert Trudel, Director General of the Cité de l'énergie Inc.

You will find a breathtakingly beautiful place in Þjórsárdalur valley, Gjáin, which is one of Iceland's pearls of nature. It is one of the places in Iceland which is very dear to me and I would like to visit every summer and find it unspoilt. Therefore I was so sad when I read in the news recently that so many guests are visiting this beautiful area that it is becoming down-trodden :(
I am going to tell you a little bit about Gjáin as I am writing about my own travels in my country here on Guide to Iceland. My writings are purely my hobby and my way of learning more about Iceland - and to show others how beautiful Iceland is. So I am asking those of you who read my travel-blog - let's join hands in treating the delicate nature of Iceland with the respect it deserves.
Rauðá river (Red River) runs through here. There is a lovely waterfall in the river. It is small, but ever so beautifully framed by the surroundings. It is called Gjárfoss falls and cascades into the gorge of Gjáin.
A relatively short easy hike from the Viking settlement manor at Stöng takes you to Gjáin - and all of a sudden this beautiful fairyland opens up with waterfalls, columnar basalt and such lush vegetation. Here one can find angelica in abundance.
A lot of people living in Iceland believe in elves and nature spirits. I am one of them :) I sometimes sense the waterfall dwellers/spirits and I sensed the waterfall dweller/spirit very strongly at Gjárfoss and had a conversation with him.
My husband took my photo in front of the waterfall, not knowing that I was engaged in deep conversation with the nature spirit of Gjárfoss, and the outcome was beautiful as you can see from my photo by the waterfall :)
As you can see from my photos then they are taken on several of my visits to Gjáin, so some of them are sunny, while others are not. I love sunny photos from Gjáin!
This is a lava area and the lava can take on such beautiful form. There are several lava caves in Gjáin and all over there is columnar basalt and volcanic tuff.
Here we are located right by the central highlands of Iceland and one does not expect the landscape to be so breathtaking and lush here.
The main river in Þjórsárdalur valley is the longest one in Iceland, the glacial river Þjórsá. Þjórsá ran through this area before it was redirected by a levee between Mt Sandafell and Mt Skeljafell.
There are 2 waterfalls which cascade from Rauðá river into the gorge - Gjárfoss and another smaller one, which you can see in the photo above. I don't know its name, but it it is possible to walk right up to it from the south side of Gjáin.
There are 2 ways of hiking to Gjáin. One of them is from the settlement manor Stöng, which takes you to the northern part of Gjáin and the beautiful Gjárfoss waterfall. That hike is 2.1 km and is relatively easy, ca 15 minute's each way. There are some rocks to climb down to enter Gjáin and of course one has to climb the rocks on the way out.
The other hike takes you to a parking lot on the south side of Gjáin, where you can walk down steps into this beautiful fairy-tale world. From there one can access the lava caves, pseudocraters and the smaller waterfall. Here are also clear wellsprings coming from the lava.
I have had such "wow"-moments here. It is just awesome finding such a hidden pearl in this barren desert. It is possible to walk up to the small lava caves, which were used by men who were rounding up sheep.
Here one can see such beautiful lava structures, lava caves, columnar basalt and several lava trolls! It is so much fun walking around in this beautiful place looking for troll images and faces in this lava wonderland.
There is one big troll or an Indian up to which one can walk. It looks like it is man-made, the wonders of nature. There is a hole in the middle and standing in the middle of the hole makes for a really good photo. If you walk a little bit further it is possible to climb up the hill to get back on the trail.
This area was inhabited by the Vikings until the volcano Hekla erupted in 1104 causing the devastation of 20 settlement farms in Þjórsárdalur valley. The close proximity to this notorious volcano did not make this area a favourable place in which to live.
The road leading to Gjáin is a dirt road and parts of it are bumpy. A 4x4 is needed here in my opinion. If one drives further up the road it will take you either to the road leading to Háifoss waterfall or take you back to the paved road no 32.
I have found one guided tour which includes Gjáin Hot Springs & Game of Thrones Locations | Super Jeep Tour with a Night on the South Coast
Here are some tours to join into the highlands:
This area is 136 km away from Reykjavík, where you can rent a car, which makes this a lovely day-trip away from the city. Here is the location of Gjáin on Google Maps. This is an area which can only be visited in the summertime.
Please, let's treat this beautiful place with the utmost respect and leave it for others to enjoy as much as we, who have visited it, do.

Component configurations are still allowed in the sitemap for compatibility reasons. In addition we added the possibility to have per sitemap component configurations which are read automatically from a sub directory next to the sitemap. Therefore we create a sub application context which tests all these possibilities and eventually adds the component definitions. Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler http://www.osoco.org/weblogs/rael/

No Quarter
Patch Meaning: During the late 17th and early 18th century, pirates and Privateers often flew flags with mixed elements of a skull/skeleton/bones, a spear through a red heart, and a red hourglass.
The hourglass symbolized that "time was running out" for peaceful surrender and that No Quarter would be given (ie: no prisoners taken) in the event of resistance during armed boarding.
Basically this patch means Surrender peacefully or be killed to the last man!
– Hook/Velcro one sided backing
– Polyester thread
– Twill background
**Note: Includes morale patch only. Any gear featured in the catalog is solely for display purposes and is not included with purchase.

Broadhurst Chief Magistrate Faith Ngandu has recused herself from the case of a dubious Zimbabwean lawyer after he made an application complaining that she is biased and conflicted in his matter.
The former Zimbabwean Army soldier is facing two counts of obtaining by false pretences and staying in Botswana illegally for more than four years.
Moyo, 45, allegedly defrauded around 165 people in Botswana by claiming to be a lawyer.
Though the Chief Magistrate did not go into details of the accused's application, this publication has been reliably informed that Moyo claims that some of his clients were referred by Ngandu's husband.
Magistrate Ngandu only said Moyo has made false allegations against her and family.
"I recuse myself from the case before I say things that I will not be able to take back hence reducing myself. The matter is referred to the Regional Court to deal with or allocate it to another magistrate. While he was behind bars with too much time in his hands, he decided to write such allegations simply because I denied him bail," said Ngandu.
Giving court progress a report, Investigating Officer Detective Senior Superintendent Sergeant Marapo, said they are still waiting for more information from Zimbabwe Interpol.
He said correspondence was sent indicating that Moyo was working under the army legal department so they requested they do an affidavit giving details of what exactly he was working as.
Marapo said for security reasons they needed more time to do thorough investigations.
When asked if he has anything to say Moyo said Marapo was just wasting court's time as he got all the information from Interpol.
'You are incompetent as a senior officer and I don't understand why you need more time while the investigations are complete,' he said.
Ngandu told Moyo that he has no right to tell the police how to do their investigations and how long it should take.
She said no matter how intelligent he thinks he is he is not suppose to interfere with the justice system.

HORSE RIDING is available in Bors (6kms) & just outside Aubeterre & at Bonnes (about 8kms).
At Les Etangs, you're on the borders of the DORDOGNE department, so it's an easy drive to all the sites & attractions of this famous area of France - magnificent CHATEAUX, prehistoric caves, bastide towns & medieval villages in the area from Bergerac to Sarlat.
In the other direction are the great VINEYARDS of Bordeaux & Cognac, with ample opportunity for WINE & Pineau TASTINGS.
St. Emilion (a UNESCO world heritage site) is another must see - one of my favourite places. Love it!

It's one of my favourite places to linger........There is a great choice of restaurants too catering for all tastes. In summer, spot the many posters for MUSIC evenings, concerts & EVENTS in the square or down by the river, including river jousting! CANOEING is available on the river in Aubeterre & HORSE RIDING is about 1km outside Aubeterre. There are also many historic buildings including the 11th century monolithic church & Romanesque Eglise St. Jacques.
SPA days (or half days) & BEAUTY TREATMENTS are available at Hostellerie du Périgord in Aubeterre.
There's YOGA available too at Juignac (about 6kms).
Aubeterre has a wonderful character all of its own. It's a MUST SEE.
After all that activity - or instead of - just chill out by the pool with a smooth glass of wine & a great book.
And after sunset (if you're still there on the terrace) try a little STAR GAZING. Just watch the stars come out to create a jewelled canopy above you. Truly magnificent. There is little light pollution so it is all the more spectacular.

Margarete and (late husband) John Isherwood, purchased Les Etangs in 2002 as an original old stone barn of just four walls and a roof. John was a construction engineer and (amateur but talented) watercolour artist who had been developing old barns in SW France since 1990 until his untimely death in 2005 at the age of 54 (RIP). As it turned out L'Etang was his last hurrah, and Margarete keeps it going as a tribute to John, but also because she loves it there too. It's such a peaceful, restful place.
Margarete Isherwood purchased this farmhouse in 2002
Location, location, location with its unbeatable panoramic views over gentle rolling countryside, fantastic if it's a year for sunflowers all around. Also for the TOTAL peace and quiet, which is so hard to find these days, so it's the perfect place to relax and unwind fully, whilst being only 1km from the nearest small town of St. Séverin which has all basic amenities. Plus, there's so much to see and do within easy reach.
Location (as above). Panoramic countryside views from all windows, and of course from the terrace and pool areas. Total peace and quiet. Spectacular sunsets. No light pollution so fantastic night skies. Friendly local community. So much to see and do in the area. Original water colours by John Isherwood (1950 - 2005)
""Thank you! The house is amazing & the views fantastic. A real pleasure." Chris, Kandy, Simon & H. (27.7.07 from visitors' book)
Note - no comments in 2006 as we did not rent out that year due to a bereavement.
"Beautiful! A great place to stay. It's worth it. Sunsets are gorgeous and landscape amazing!" HB (Visitors' book 27.8.2005)
"Just a quick note to say that we all had a wonderful time at L'Etang and I will email you about next year. Best wishes, David & Family" (by email 18.8.05)
"We have all fallen in love with this beautiful house. We have had a fantastic holiday with beautiful weather and breathtaking sunsets from the patio. Once again, we really do not want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful holiday" J.D. M. B. E and G (Visitors' book 12.8.05).
House was very clean, comfortable and exactly as described, with everything we needed for a great holiday. The location is in beautiful countryside, and was perfect as a base for discovering the many beautiful towns of the Charente and Dordogne regions - we had wonderful day trips to Saint Emilion, Bergerac, Angouleme and Brantôme, and Aubeterre (officially classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France) is right on the doorstep. We had a wonderful week at Les Etangs, and I would thoroughly recommend this property.
Loved our stay as extended family. House large, welcoming and clean.
The property is located just outside St Severin but close enough to nip to the shops. 5 mins up the road is Aubeterre which is beautiful. We recommend the market on a Sunday and also the underground church is intetesting. The river beach is a wonderful location to swim and play all sorts of recreations such volleyball, bowls etc. One tip is take your own drinks as they are expensive at the cafe. The house is clean and has everything you need for a large group. Three showers was very helpful. The kitchen has all the utensils and the bar b que is large enough for a big group. The property comes into its own from 4 o'clock where the sun shines on the back of the house, the children had plenty of space to run around and the adults can sit out and watch the sun go down. The pool is nice and clean and alarmed which is good for families. The weather does get windy so make sure your lilo's are weighted down. I was seen rescuing a unicorn from 2 fields away !!
We loved our stay at Les Etangs to the point where we didnt want to come home!. It is in a beautiful setting and anyone wanting a totally relaxing holiday this is the place to come. It is a 20 min walk to the village of St Severin where you have all the amenities that you require. The property was spotless and well maintained. Margarete, the owner was amazing - organising a surprise birthday cake for my husband and bottles of fizz. Having the pool was an added bonus. I would recommend this gite for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in beautiful and peaceful surroundings.
A very good and well appointed holiday home for those who want complete quiet and relaxation. Not too deep a pool either for those of us less confident swimmers !
Les Etangs is a wonderful property set in quiet and peaceful spot in lovely part of France. The property was spotless and the pool was cleaned regularly throughout our two week stay. It is perfect for family's who just want to chill out or use as a base to explore the surrounding towns and villages - on this visit we didn't do much exploring as the pool and surrounding views tempted us to just to stay and relax. We did spend some time kayaking in Auberterre and visiting the market in Riberac. Margarete is a very attentive owner who promptly responded to emails before, during and after our stay. I would certainly recommend this property to family and friends.
Located about 1hr from airports at Bergerac, Bordeaux or Angouleme, in peaceful countryside, just 1km from the small town of St. Séverin (on the edge of the Dordogne) with all amenities, bakery, small supermarket, bar, restaurant, bank (ATM), doctor, dentist, tennis, mini golf etc. 5kms from Aubeter re (listed medieval hillside village) with river beach, canoeing, playground, craft shops, restaurants & cafés. Sit in the leafy square with a cool drink & watch the world go by or amble round the small Sunday morning market. Don't miss the puppet theatre! Nearby Longeveau golf & country club is a delight & Friday's Ribérac market is a must. Beautiful Brantome, known as the Venice of the Périgord (Dordogne), Bergerac & Périgueux are others. Further afield are the famous châteaux & sites of the Dordogne. And the great vineyards around Bordeaux. Great restaurants abound in this area, famous for foie gras, truffles & walnuts. The stunning scenery makes it an artist's paradise too with many small galleries. So much to enjoy, a fortnight may not be long enough!

I really like the warm and rustic feel of reclaimed wood, combined with a modern living space, and wanted to figure out how to make this available in a way, so easy, anyone can install it.
Stow, OH (PRWEB) February 09, 2016
Artis Wall by Waddell Manufacturing is bringing the popular, rustic-chic, interior design trend to homes in minutes with its easy installation system, without the cost of a complete renovation. Created from authentic, reclaimed wood off of old barns and buildings around the country, Artis Wall easily transforms any living or office space from plain to trendy. Waddell Manufacturing is currently hosting a Kickstarter campaign to raise $20,000 in 35 days to begin production of this innovative product.
Two of the most common challenges when creating an accent wall is that the products are difficult to install and they are permanent. Artis Wall's patent pending installation method provides a simple and smart application of the planks. Each Artis Wall box comes with A.I.M. strips, or Artis Installation Method strips. These strips make installation quick and easy, providing users with easy removal, leaving little-to-no damage to the wall.
"I really like the warm and rustic feel of reclaimed wood, combined with a modern living space, and wanted to figure out how to make this available in a way, so easy, anyone can install it," said Artis Wall Director of Operations, Will Kimmerle. "We also wanted to make this product safe for your walls, so that it could be used by both homeowners and renters. We're looking to create an evolution in the way people create and install accent walls."
The thickness of the planks make each piece lightweight and easy to work with. Artis Wall planks come in random lengths to provide you with the ability to make one-of-a-kind patterns. They can easily be cut to size using a utility knife and straightedge.
With the ability to transform almost any surface into a memorable piece of American history, Artis Wall can be used many ways. The planks can be installed as a focal point in a living room, used to create a beautiful headboard, transform kitchens and many other décor applications.
Currently, Artis Wall is accepting pre-orders on Kickstarter starting at the early bird price of $215 for 20-square feet, which is under $11 per square-foot. Early bird rewards are expected to sell out fast, so those who are interested are encouraged to visit the Artis Wall Kickstarter campaign page bit.ly/ArtisWallKS.

If the Germans had won WWII, life would be so much different, as IGN discovered in Codemasters's hot new shooter.
"Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is a departure from the traditional war-torn first-person shooter because it takes a genre that's been milked of all creativity and breathes new life into it. Sure, you use guns to mow down Nazis and the action rarely shifts out of fifth gear, but there's a lot that's different about Turning Point. Take the story: In 1931 Winston Churchill is hit by a taxi, an event that actually happening all those years ago. Only, in the game, the accident was fatal, so there's no Churchill to deliver that speech and no leader to inspire the troops to victory. Instead the Nazi force overthrew the British, pushing our boys out of France and seizing control of Europe. Eight years later and the Germans have amounted a vast army which is sent across the Atlantic, ready to take over the US."
Very interesting concept... Gonna keep my eyes on this one!

I decided to try Curology based on a You Tube blogger's recommendation. However, I'm using it for anti-aging rather than acne. I've been using tretinoin 0.5% with good results and with my Curology prescriber decided upon tretinoin 0.75% along with vitamin C and niacinamide. Heaven in a bottle. My skin loves this stuff and with the support available on both Curology's website, and working with my consultant, it's a win-win. There is flexibility in choosing a 30 day or 60 day supply, and with a customized formula, the $20 per month is quite reasonable.
4/19/18 UPDATE: Working with the pharmacist, the tretinoin in my formula was increased to 0.14%, as I've been using tretinoin for quite some time. I have to say I love this product. My nighttime routine is simplified dramatically. Wash, spritz some Thayers and wipe, Curology, eye cream and argan oil. My skin is actually smoother, tighter and more even toned. No irritation. I'm hooked

Curology has been a god send for me.... mind you, I've never had horrible acne, or cystic acne, but I still always seemed to have at least two or three on my face at all times. I also was a sun worshiper in my twenties, so I had pigmentation on my forehead which made me looks years older... about 5 months ago, my skin went completely insane... all on my jaw line I kept breaking out, and it wouldn't stop... all of my normal products no longer worked. I spent about $600 on that whole fiasco, buying a Clarisonic, getting retinol creams, differin etc. nothing worked.. I saw a curology add on a YouTube video and I decided to give it try... after all the first month was $5.... their distribution center is in San Diego, and I am also in California, so my bottle came within three days. After a week of using this, my skin completely cleared up.. my sun spots were starting to fade... I haven't looked back since. The bottle doesn't last as long as they say, however I use three pumps instead of the recommended two to be fair. I know it won't work for everyone, but it's worth a shot with the free month you get... also, everyone keeps saying you get the same prescription as everyone else in the beginning.. that is just not true. My bottle came with .018% tretinoin, 8% azelaic acid, and then 4% clindamyacin. I really love this product, and I did purge the first month, but my pimples were so tiny, they came and left within a day. Any pimple I get now, which is very rare, is also very small, and disappears within a day or so.... I also use this in combination with tarte knockout during the day, and take supplements along with it.. in case anyone is wondering, I take zinc, evening primrose oil, omega 3's, turmeric and reishi, and lysine.. skin is damn near perfect for being 33

I have been using Curology for almost two years ago and have seen a huge improvement in my skin. After years trying everything -
salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliants, clay masks, cleansers running the spectrum from harsh to gentle, etc. - I finally found Curology. My skin is smoother, less oily, and much, much, less prone to breakouts on my forehead and chin, which were my main problem areas. I also had lots of hyperpigmentation that has faded significantly, and my skin's tone is much less red in general. It's true that it does take awhile for your skin to get better and, YES, your skin will "get worse" for a bit as it purges. I have seen people who have quit Curology after a week or a month saying it made their skin worse, but you absolutely have to be patient and let it work its magic. The bottle doesn't necessarily last as long as they say it does (but I do usually use more than they say you should, to be fair!), but to me it's still worth it :) My provider is always helpful whenever I frantically message her about a skin problem I'm having.

I was seeking curology for possibly helping clear the tiny bumps all over my forehead and jawline. When I started my prescription, my skin reacted horribly. My cheeks, which were never a problem area and were always clear, were COVERED with incredibly red, inflamed lesions. I have had this for 3 months thinking it would help eventually. It just made my skin a lot worse when my skin wasn't that bad in the first place.

Curology has been an absolute savior for my skin. For the first time in my life someone this week complimented me on my skin and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was the girl who struggled with problem skin from the age of 14 all the way to 32. After a rough encounter with a local dermatologist who only wanted to sell me prescriptions he could get a kickback on (and ignoring me when I asked for the generic versions my insurance would cover...), I thought I'd give Curology a try. I'm glad I did because it's affordable and the advice I receive when I reach out to my derm is almost always exactly spot on and helpful. I've emailed to get her opinion on products like face washes for my skin type, and any changes in my skin and why they might be occurring and always get a fast and well thought out response.
I went from waking up with redness and 6-7 new spots each day to occasionally waking up with a single whitehead a couple times a week in about 6 months. Not perfect, but I'm ecstatic! And I'm slowly bumping up the tretinoin right now and noticing that my skin looks more radiant - a huge plus.

Curology worked when nothing else did.
I am currently on month 5 of using this service and am so happy with results!
A lil history:
I had pretty darn clear skin all my life, with small hormonal breakouts (1-2 pimples/month)
I tried oil cleansing method (original, by using only oils to clean and wiping off with warm towel). OCM ruined my skin and I should have stopped sooner but kept believing I was purging. Stupid! By the 2nd month my face was covered in thousands of tiny little bumps and some cystic acne!
I tried gentle cleansing, then salicylic acid, then benzoyl peroxide (stuck with all for 45 days each). Nothing helped!
Couldn't afford a dermatologist so signed up for Curology. Best decision! The first few weeks I only felt a calming in my skin but still covered in breakouts.
By day 40 I could see results.
By day 70 most of the bumps were gone.
I am still left with remaining hyperpigmention it's slowly starting to fade :)
Would definitely recommend! The derms that work there are helpful.
My first scipt was: 4% Azelaic Acid, 1% Clindamycin and 4% Niacinamide.
100 days in I changed to: 8% Azelaic Acid, 1% Clindamycin and 0.25% Zinc Pyrithione.

Buyer Beware of Curology: Their website falsely states: "You're matched with a licensed dermatology provider who gets to know your skin. They'll ask questions, check your progress, and stick by you" This is a bold face lie. I signed up, sent a few comments and the worst pix I had, fully expecting 'Jennifer' to review my info, and contact me to ask more in depth questions since I had a couple of issues that needed to be addressed before deciding on treatment. Wanted to explain why I sent the pictures, since they were of an atypical situation, and the worst of my history, then hopefully submit my current and average pictures afterwards. Instead, after paying for my trial, Jennifer promptly misdiagnosed me, told me to close my account, and maybe see a Derm. If she would've asked, I could have told her I'd already been to supposedly the best Derm office in my state. She never asked me anything, just ASSumed. Still trying to get a refund. My recommendation after this fiasco - go to a local Dermatologist with a real diploma.

Curology is by far the best Acne Treatment product that I've come across in about 3/4 years. I never really had acne throughout highschool and when I turned 19 or 20 I got the worst acne on my left cheek and have been left with some awful scars and skin pigmentation from it. Up until about a few months ago I was still struggling with it, trying to get rid of the scars but still getting pimples there and on my forehead. I've also been struggling with acne on my back/chest since I was about 13! In all my years searching for skin care products this company has really helped me out. I can go out in public without makeup on! It's just one little bottle for $24 a month (and you can choose how often it's shipped!) I don't go through one bottle that quickly so I like to push it back. You get to communicate with a well educated doctor about your skin type, where you get acne, how long you've had acne, what birth control you're on, what medications you've taken for acne, etc. Then the doctor gives you a full low down on what you're going to do to change your skin care routine and it's so simple! Gentle face cleanser, and the Curology treatment at night. And when I had flare ups and explained the type of pimples to the doctor, she helped me immediately and now I only get a few pimples when I'm on my period and I can finally get rid of those gnarly scars since there's no more pimples. And on top of all of that, all she did was recommend me a body bar that has almost completely cleared my body acne! Would definitely recommend this brand to anyone who's struggling with acne/their skin. I don't feel disgusted when I look in the mirror anymore and I never thought that would happen. Everyone should check out Curology!

I subscribed due to a blog post, and I have no regrets! I was given a mix of Clindamycin, azelaic acid and tretinoin, as I am in my 30's and still have acne. Fun times! The customer service is A+, as well--the NP I work with answers all my questions in a timely and friendly manner. My skin looks a lot better (as a result of both the cream and the zinc soap/vitamin C combo recommended).

The Fundación Universidad Empresa (FUERM) is a non-profit-making educational institution. It acts as an interface between universities and enterprises. It was established in March 1988 with the support of 50 firms who gradually became associated. Now, along with other newly incorporated firms and institutions, it comprises more than 350 enterprise associates many of whom are drawn from among the largest employers in Spain. The existence of the Fundación is the fruit of the integration of common interests amongst such entities, with the objective of fostering and developing dialogue and communication between universities and enterprises, as well as the promotion and fostering of all classes of study and research of interest to both parties. The Fundación has acted as a bridge between the two public Universities in the Region of Murcia, the University of Murcia and the University of Cartagena and many regional businesses and institutions within an international framework.

On Monday, the hospital announced it is eliminating 450 clerical and administrative jobs in an effort to cut $100 million from its budget.
No one from the medical staff is being laid off.
However, the layoffs will impact the hospital's emergency room and who the hospital chooses to treat there.
In the course of a year, the emergency room at the University of Chicago Hospitals receives upwards of 80,000 patients. The hospital figures about 40 percent of them don't need immediate emergency care and so there are changes coming in how the ER will operate.
Over the years, patients who've come to U. of C. emergency room - even if they don't need emergency care - have been treated anyway, and are then referred to a community health center closer to their homes, less expensive. There are roughly 20 of them, part of the University of Chicago's Urban Health Initiative.
What happens now is patients who come to the university hospitals will be evaluated, but if they don't need emergency care, they'll be directed to one of the neighborhood centers for their treatment.
"What we're trying to do is do the medical assessments at the beginning of the visit and to make the determination does someone have a condition that needs to be seen today or would it be more appropriate for them to be seen at one of our partner health centers," said Dr. Eric Whitaker, University of Chicago Hospitals.
The intent is to bring greater efficiency and economy to a busy ER, but there are critics.
On Tuesday afternoon, a group of University of Chicago workers and their union leaders protested Monday's announced lay-offs of 450 employees. One of them is Sherri Taylor Kennedy, a 14 year secretary in pediatric surgery who says the new emergency room protocols amount to patient dumping.
"If you're a public aid recipient and want to come here for routine care, you won't get it here. They'll send you elsewhere," said Sherri Taylor-Kennedy.
"This is part of their shift from treating the poor and treating working people to trying only to do the most lucrative procedures. This is a crime and they should be ashamed of what they're doing," Richard Berg, Teamsters Local 743 president.
A shift in operations like this does not come without risk. Whitaker acknowledges it may not be perfect, but it is, he says, a necessary step.
"An emergency room is a scarce resource and we are stewards and have to think about how best to get the right patients in that setting," said Dr. Whitaker.
The staff cutbacks in clerical and administrative jobs announced on Monday will quite likely lead to longer waits for patients in general, but the changes in emergency room practice will - in theory - cut down on waits times in the ER because patient load will be reduced.
The changes will take effect in about three weeks.
