4 things every Texas A&M fan needs to know today
Interceptions from Texas A&M quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray doomed the Aggies in their 41-23 home loss to Alabama on Saturday. The Aggies will look to rebound from the loss by preparing for its Week 8 matchup against Ole Miss.
Here are four things to know:
- Texas A&M couldn't avenge last season's 59-0 loss to Alabama, but Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin praised his defense for sustaining a high level of effort throughout the game.
- Alabama freshman wide receiver Calvin Ridley gave Texas A&M fans props following the Crimson Tide's road win over the Aggies.
- Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson said after the win that he thought the Texas A&M defense didn't want to tackle Crimson Tide running back Derrick Henry.
- The SEC announced Saturday that Texas A&M's Oct. 24 showdown against Ole Miss is scheduled for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff in Oxford, Miss. The game will be televised on ESPN.
Other Texas A&M news from around the Internet
- The Dallas Morning News' Kate Hairopoulos believes that the Aggies aren't a proven playoff contender due to the performance of their offense against the Crimson Tide.
- According to some NFL scouts, Texas A&M sophomore defensive end Myles Garrett is already considered "the best player in college football."
- Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports posted both a video and a photo of a Texas A&M fan stunned in disbelief after Kyle Allen threw a pick-six to Alabama defensive back Eddie Jackson, putting the Aggies in a 21-6 hole in the second quarter.

Learn where and how to choose a goal for your campaign.
- [Narrator] The first step in publishing advertisements to Instagram is to create a campaign in the Facebook Ads Manager. A campaign specifies what our marketing objective is going to be for our set of advertisements that are encompassed within that campaign. If you're using the Facebook Ads Manager for the first time, you're probably automatically brought to the new campaign screen. Alternatively you can create a new campaign by clicking on the Campaigns tab, and then clicking on the Create Campaign button.
So now we're at the new campaign creation screen. Now the first thing we need to specify about our campaign is what our objective is going to be. You can see that there are three primary objectives: Awareness Consideration and Conversion. And then from within those three primary objectives, we can pick a more directed objective. So do we want to increase brand awareness? Do we just want to reach as many people as possible? Maybe we want to drive traffic, generate leads or convert a user into a customer. So choose which ever type of campaign best works for your situation.
I'm going to choose a brand awareness campaign. So I'm just going to click on Brand awareness. And when I do that you have to scroll down a little bit but we have another field that is available to us. And this is where we can give our campaign a name. Just want to give it a descriptive name so that you can easily identify it. So you want to be able to differentiate between those campaigns. I'm just going to call this Topsy Turvy Awareness. Now because we're creating our first campaign, we need to set up an Ad Account.
In the future you won't necessarily need to set up an ad account every time you create a campaign 'cause you could create a campaign underneath a previous ad account that was set up. Really the only reason why you you'd want to have multiple ad accounts is if you were managing multiple companies and each company had their own advertising campaign. You could create a separate account for each of those companies but manage them all from within your Facebook account. Now that I've given the campaign a name, we are going to click on the Set Up Account button, because again we need to set up an account because this is the first time we're using Facebook Ads Manager.
Now we just need to specify some information about our account. The country we're in, the currency that we'd like to use, and our time zone. So you can select what best fits your situation and then click on the Continue button. So now we've created our first campaign, we've picked an objective for that campaign, given the campaign a name, and then we've created an ad account to be associated with all of our campaigns and our advertisements. The next step is going to be to create an ad set which deals with our targeting and we'll take a look at that later on in the course.

It's been a hectic week: school, leading another webinar on Wednesday (this time on using dictionaries) for teachers in Russia, then setting off to Ljubljana on Thursday to take part in the OUP Slovenia Conference for the second time.
I love coming to Ljubljana: beautiful city, great people, excellent conference. After what happened last year, though, I was prepared for travel drama. Last year was fairly tortuous, to put it mildly. You can't fly direct from Budapest to Ljubljana, so I was supposed to travel from Budapest via Frankfurt, which is daft enough in itself – I mean, Ljubljana's only 400km from where I live – but things went wrong. Germany was hit by severe blizzards, Frankfurt airport was closed, my flight was cancelled and I ended up catching a rescheduled flight to Slovenia via Skopje.
Madness. Then there was the added excitement of throwing together a second talk the night before the conference in my hotel room after it turned out that fellow-presenter Nina Lauder was stuck in Spain. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year, though.
This year I thought it might be a better idea to drive, and I even surprised myself by making it all the way there without getting lost, despite not having a proper map or GPS.
And so to the conference on Friday. Michael Swan gave a great talk on 'Grammar doesn't have to be grey' and signed copies of his latest books. Nina also made it this year without any problems, thank goodness. She wowed us with her talk on 'Making vocabulary meaningful and memorable'. It was the first time we had seen each other since our tour of Brazil in the summer, and it was lovely to see her again. We were looked after very well by Metka, Bojana and the Slovenian team, and the whole experience was a pleasure.
As promised, here is a link to a pdf version of the slides of my session 'Gates and Bridges'

INDIANAPOLIS — Conventional wisdom contends that Duke does not have a chance. It predicts a repeat of last year`s national title game, foretells another rout that may not reach 30 points, but will be convincing just the same. Yet another accident waiting to happen, that is how it views Saturday`s semifinal between the Blue Devils and Nevada-Las Vegas.
It finds Duke, like all who have gone before it, with no one to control UNLV All-American Larry Johnson. It sees Duke guard Bobby Hurley, who excused himself for personal reasons during last year`s rout, once again wilting under the Rebels` defensive pressure. It claims Duke, though more athletic this year, still won`t find a way to stop Vegas` fast break, and that once more it is in line for a licking from a team that just keeps on ticking.

I enjoyed watching the Charlie Rose show on TV yesterday. Jeremy Rifkin, author of the book, The Third Industrial Revoluton, says Germany is being built on the Five Pillars of this latest wave of industrial progress, and by 2026 it will have houses which are powered by solar on the roof, wind power by the windows, and geothermal from the ground. Those will be quite expensive to build, I guess, but this progressing wave will create many more industries as it will probably leave obsolete.
There is another book on this subject, published in 1989, so it seems a time-frame of approximately 45 years for embracing and implementing such innovations.
Seems very interesting. I wonder what are the plans by the rest of the world?
I am always interested to hear your views also, so please drop me a line.
Kind regards,

Never leave home without a sandwich
Jen and I went for a walk on Saturday. It was meant to be a leisurely stroll along a tiny stretch of the gower Peninsula. We got lost. It became a monster marathon without end. Foolishly we'd not packed any food for the journey. I now realise that being lost and hungry can bring with it a frightening sense of apathy for one's safety. "I'm lost and I don't care". In our weakened state we eventually asked for directions and struck out for home. It took ages. We argued. We now ache.
It was amazingly good fun.
It was amazingly good fun.

The Best New Children's Books for Budding Art Lovers

Property Subject to VAT Section 4 (5%; see Conditions of Sale for further information)
"In the late Spring of 1985, I regularly used the subway at 33rd and Park. It's Not a Laptop and Totem were located at this stop. Upon first viewing, I did not attempt to peel them from the surface. Part of me wanted the public to enjoy them; for one day. Returning the following late evening with a mat knife, I was thrilled to find that they were both still there. I quickly cut them from the wall and put them under my coat.
Still bright, fresh and crisp as a potato chip, they are as clean as the moment Keith Haring drew them back in 1985.
It was in the year of 1985 that he would boast in his subway drawings writing: Still Alive In '85."
Acquired directly from the subway by the present owner in 1985.
Bridging the gap between the art world and the street, Keith Haring rose to prominence in the early 1980s with his graffiti drawings made in the subways and on the sidewalks of New York City. Combining the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of Art Brut artists like Jean DuBuffet, Haring developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic centered on fluid, bold outlines against a dense, rhythmic overspread of imagery like that of babies, barking dogs, flying saucers, hearts, and Mickey Mouse. In his subway drawings and murals, Haring explored themes of exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and rising fears of nuclear holocaust, which became increasingly apocalyptic after his AIDS diagnosis. Alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer, Haring is regarded as a leading figure in New York East Village Art scene in the 1970s and '80s.

One of the biggest challenges for importers is clearing customs for their products once they arrive into their home country. This guide will give a solid overview of how to clear customs into most countries, using Canada (my home country) as a point of reference. The exact paperwork varies vastly depending on which country you are importing into, but the overall procedure tends to be similar for most countries.
There are a number of excellent guides produced by countries for importing commercial goods into a country. These include:
As tends to be the case with any official publication, these guides are extremely long, dry, and insist any failure to dot i's or cross t's will be met with imprisonment. I hope for this guide to give a broad real world overview of the customs clearing process.
I should point out I am by no means a customs clearing expert, and 99% of the time I have a Customs Broker do this for me. I also have experience only in importing goods into Canada and the United States. However, I know the general process, and normally customs officials are more than willing to help importers fill out the necessary forms.
What is Clearing Customs?
Clearing customs simply means having the appropriate customs officials, in the case of Canada the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the U.S., for import into your country. When your products arrive into your home country (for example a sea port when arriving via sea) they will not be released to you until the appropriate paperwork is filled out along with paying the necessary duties (if applicable- not all goods are dutiable). A ransom is essentially placed on your goods.
The import procedure should be fairly analogous for anyone who has ever traveled internationally. When you arrive back into your home country you are asked to declare what goods you are bringing back with you. If you're past your exemption, you have to pay applicable duties and taxes. It's the same procedure when importing commercial goods, it's just that there is no exemption and the paper work is slightly less user friendly.
Customs Clearance Paperwork
When importing goods, almost all countries require, at a minimum, two pieces of paper work:
- A commercial invoice from your supplier
- Some official customs form
A commercial invoice is simply an invoice your supplier will give you, normally before you pay for your goods. It's simply an invoice showing what you're ordering. This is nothing special and it can be a PDF, an Excel document, or hand written on a napkin. 99.9% your supplier will email this to you before you ever pay anything and for the other 0.1% you can simply ask.
The official customs form is unique to all countries, and in some countries it's more complex than others. Below is a Form B3 which is required for importing into Canada. These forms, while often looking complicated, are looking for only a few basic pieces of information which we'll cover here shortly.
Other Paperwork that might be required:
- Copies of appropriate memorandums, permits, certificates, etc.
- Packing Lists
- Cargo control document (or similar)
Certain products may have unique permits that are required. For example, many Food and Drugs require certification from appropriate national agencies. However, there's other more mundane forms, which may be simple 'promises' that an item contains no wood products, that it was made 100% in a certain country, etc. Most products will not require such forms and if you call your local commercial customs office and tell the official exactly what product you are importing (ideally with a tariff code) they can tell you what forms you may need.
A packing list is imply a document showing how a shipment is boxed, i.e. 10 Pairs of Sandals in Box 2a.
A cargo control document is a unique term in Canada but other countries have similar documents. It's simply a document given by a freight forwarder that gives a container or shipment a unique ID that helps customs officials better track and locate the shipment.
10-digit Tariff Classification Number: The Most Important Thing You Must Know
The single most important thing that all importers must know is the 10-digit Tariff Classification Number of their product. "What the *&^% is that?", you're probably asking.
As you can imagine, there are millions and millions of different products that exist in the world. How can a customs official be expected to know the details of every single reverse osmosis water filtration system and 2-in-1 Rice Maker/Slow Cooker in the world? Easy- the Harmonized System!
The Harmonized System is simply a big long encyclopedia of product descriptions covering every imaginable product. Almost every single country in the world uses this Harmonized System. When you think about it, it makes perfectly logical sense for the world to have some shared classification of products. Most countries share the same product classifications, but each individual country sets their own rates of duty.
The classification numbers break down like following:
73188.8.131.52 << This is the complete Number
7316 << International Heading (shared by all countries)
11 << International Sub-Heading (shared by all countries)
10 << Tariff Item (Set by Individual Country)
90 << Special statistical tracking number (Set by Individual Country)
As you can see, countries share the first 6 digits of the classification code and then each country sets the remaining four codes. This means that you can use other countries' classification and tools as a starting point for determining the exact classification code for your country, but you can't rely on another country's codes completely.
There are a number of good tools for determining your product classification code. DutyCalculator.com is the simplest and easiest website (by far). However, the US run Schedule B Search is also good place to start. Simply give a couple of keywords to describe your item and you should be given a few results which you can further narrow down after (more words on this shortly).
Most countries have huge PDF documents listing all of the classification codes. Ultimately, you will likely want to go through a few pages to read what code best describes your product. It's actually somewhat readable as well as interesting. So to determine your classification code you can either a) use a tool like Schedule B Search to find at least what section you should look in and then manually dig deeper or b) simply use CTRL-F to search the PDF for some keywords. More likely than not, you will find a classification that describes your product very accurately.
- USA Tariff Classification Codes (Full PDF)
- Canada Tariff Classification Codes (Full PDF)
Help! More Than One Code Describes My Item
Are you finding that more than one classification code describes your item? You're not alone!
Describing products is often a very subjective art. I was once importing a particular item that could have a different classification code depending on whether it was used primarily for aircraft/watercraft or other purposes. Our customers used this item for both watercraft/aircraft and in their homes, almost evenly split. So which classification code applied?
Often you have to make a judgement call. Almost all countries offer the ability to have a formal official determination made of the classification code of the item. If you're importing hundreds of thousands of dollars of a product in a very grey area you should definitely consult an expert or request an official ruling as customs officials can request back-duties after you have imported a product if they find your classification was incorrect. However, if you are importing a relatively small amount of product in which two or more classification codes have relatively minimal difference in rates of duties, the overwhelming likelihood is that no one is going to chase after you for the 0.1% duty difference on a $5000 shipment you imported. If you want to play it entirely safe without requesting an official ruling, choosing the code with the higher rate of duty will cost you more money but almost always keep you in the good books.
Remember that most countries' customs procedure is based on a 'random audit' system just like your taxes. Again, it's the same as when you travel internationally. You can 'forget' to declare the $5000 Gucci suit you purchased and most of the times customs officials will simply take your word for whatever you report your goods as. Therefore you can declare your women's designer hand bags as dog chew toys and you may get away with it. But like your taxes, customs officials take very big offense to fraud and are generally lenient to simple mistakes.
Paying Duty and Taxes on Your Product
The ten-digit classification code will determine the rate of duty on your product, which is one of the main purposes of the harmonized classification system. As mentioned, each country sets their own individual rate of duty on items. This varies widely according to product and country, but for reference's sake, for most of the products my company imports the rate is around 4-7%.
The second determination of how much duty you will pay is the country of origin for your product. Most governments essentially classify countries according to whether they are best friends, friends, or enemies. Best Friends (i.e. Canada and the U.S. who have a free trade agreement) often pay no duty. Enemies (i.e. North Korea) often have duties approaching the high double digits. Finally the vast majority of countries are classified as Friends, also officially (and misleadingly) called Most Favored Nations. China is one of these. For Friends, the rate of duty is normally somewhere between 0-10%.
Depending on the taxation system in your country, you may also be responsible for paying applicable taxes on this. Also depending on the taxation system, you may or may not be able to get these taxes back. For example, in my home country, I must pay 5% GST on all goods that I bring into Canada. However, I can claim back all of this GST at year's end. In the United States, which has no federal tax, there is no tax payable.
Other Information Required for a Customs Form
Outside of a the 10-digit classification code, most of the information required on a customs declaration form is rather straight forward. Things like your company name and address, date of import, name of the Supplier, etc. are all standard.
There's only a couple of other things to look out for. First, remember that you will almost certainly be declaring your goods in your home currency. So even if you paid your supplier in USD you will be expected to convert the price of the products to whatever currency you use in your home country. Generally, you're expected to use the official exchange rate at that point in time (for example, the Bank of Canada official exchange rate). You may also be required to record some type of business identification number, in the case of Canada a Business Number.
Presenting Your Paperwork and Finally Clearing Your Goods
Once you have filled out your paperwork, you will be required to present it to the customs officials. If your goods are being shipped via land, normally you would simply do this at the land border crossing they are going through. If they are being shipped via sea, you can normally submit the document to any official customs office, normally located at a point of entry. In my province of British Columbia, Canada there are over 200 such offices, many of which aren't actual points of entry. Remember, International Airports are points of entry. Simply Google "Customs office [your city/country]" and you should get a list from your government. For Canada and the USA these offices are:
Once customs officials approve your paperwork, you will have to pay them any outstanding duties. Most will not accept credit card and many will only accept cash or cheque for payment (ask in advance).
Paying your duties is generally the last step in finally having the ransom removed and having your goods released. Once this ransom is removed, the customs officials use a mysterious red telephone to inform the warehouse/port holding your goods that they have been released by customs. You will then be free to pick up your goods, assuming the other criteria has been met such as paying your freight forwarder any outstanding balances and presenting an Original Bill of Lading.
Remember, Customs Officials are There to Help
Remember, customs officials are generally there to help importers like yourself complete necessary paperwork. Granted, many customs officials are sometimes less than pleasant to work with, but part of their mandate is to help business and individuals import and export goods from a country.
If you show up to an office where you can submit the necessary paperwork, there will almost surely be other importers there that day who are going through the same process of filling out such paperwork. You're not alone! If you're friendly with the border officials they will help to ensure you have everything completed successfully.
The Ultimate Cheat to Clearing Your Shipment: A Customs Broker
If you completed reading this article and are completely put off, then there is one ultimate cheat/hack to having your shipment cleared and released by customs: using a customs broker. A customs broker will complete all of the necessary paperwork for you without you ever having to leave your living room. The catch of course, is that you will have to pay anywhere from $100-250 for their services.
I recommend most new importers to use a customs broker on their first shipment as there are a lot of other obstacles to deal with and a customs broker is an inexpensive mentor along the way. However, I also recommend all importers, after a couple of successful imports, to clear customs at least once on their own so they can get a true taste for how the entire process works.
Clearing customs, like international freight, is a often a daunting area, because on the surface it seems foreign compared to any processes were used to. However, much like international sea freight is not much different than using a post office, clearing customs is not dissimilar to coming back to airport customs after traveling abroad. Most of all, after a couple of times of going through the process it will become second nature.
As always, if you have any questions or advice, feel free to comment below.

Far Cry 3 sees Ubisoft return to the first installment in the series as the game is set on a tropical island where lawlessness, violence and insanity are just a few of many challenges you will be faced with.

This is the second time Joey and I attended a photography seminar together. Besides learning the basics of photography, I see it more of an opportunity for us to build a memory for ourselves. I would definitely be happy to hear from Joey when she grows up in future and fondly remembers such times we had.
This event was organized by Gardens by the Bay – Educational Programmes, comprises of 2 parts – theory and practical. The instructor for the 1-hr course is Andrew Tan who has more than 35 years of photography experiences. Seeing how he patiently handles the queries of the kids, I can be sure he is good photographer with exceptional patience when waiting for his subject in shooting.
Andrew taught about focal length, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, lighting, composition, etc. After an hour's lesson, it was time for the kids and accompanying adults to try out the theory in practice. We were all given 5 subjects to shoot – supertree, flowers, non-living thing, nature patterns and family photo.
Here are Joey's selections:
Non-living things
Nature patterns
Family photo
I think Joey has a similar liking for portraits. And she is quite good too. FYI, we learnt the difference between portraits and candid shots. Portraits are when we asked the person for permission to take their photos and candid shots are just without obtaining permission.
This is definitely a portrait shot by Joey of the student volunteers.
And here are some of my selections:

As a western entertainer and musician, I have heard a passel of cowboy poets throughout the years. Tim Nolting is one of the best. Tim brings non-sentimental, real-life experience to his cowboy poems. His easy-going yet thoughtful style is both amusing and thought provoking. His poetry can take you from tears to laughter and back again within minutes. Having hosted cowboy poetry events myself, I've seen first-hand that Tim is a favorite with audiences and fellow performers alike. I'm always eager to hear his newest poems and I hope I won't have to wait long for the next one.

A Bit of "Cow Hoss"
by M. Timothy Nolting
You hear the pans a-rattlin',
an' smell coffee on the breeze.
An' the stingin' on your nose,
tells you last night come a freeze.
The tarp atop your soogans,
is covered white with frost.
An' the splashin' at the river,
says the cavvy's comin' 'crost.
But it's time to quit your bedroll,
grab an ol' tin coffee cup,
for the coffee is a-steamin',
an' it helps to warm you up.
(The entire poem is on Tim's CD
"Backtrails" and can be purchased
at the General Store)

Revamping State Monitoring Process: A Means of Program Improvement.
Higashino, Fukue S.
In 1981, when Chapter 1 replaced Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I and with the advent of the effective schools movement, the Hawaii state administrators of Chapter 1 made a long term commitment to program improvement, especially in the area of instruction and quality delivery of services to the target students. In this program improvement effort, program managers identified state education agency monitoring/technical assistance as one of the means to encourage systematic program improvement at the local level. The project was committed to develop: (1) a system for observing and analyzing teaching/learning behaviors for effectiveness; (2) a handbook containing a procedural guide for state monitoring/technical assistance, and (3) computerization of state education agency operations. This is a report on the system for monitoring classroom activities. It contains a summary and evaluation of project activities with recommendations for improvement. (Author/BW)

How I Use Photos At Facebook To Drive 200+ Daily Visitors To My Website
Shortly after launching my Maine Coon Cat website, I created a Facebook Page to go along with it. I knew I would be building a community, and wanted to tap into the strong sense of community that Facebook naturally promotes.
Very early on, I began utilizing SBI!'s Content 2.0 tool as a way for visitors to share photos of their cats, and it took right off! Before long I was receiving submissions every day. So the next logical step was to integrate this new community into Facebook, grow it, and send it back to the main site.
Pet sites, travel sites, hobby sites and others tend to be very visual. I found that organizing my hundreds of cat photos into regular, monthly photo albums kept them neat and tidy. And best of all, these photos are perfect for sharing on Facebook!
Pet owners love seeing their beloved pet featured on a popular Facebook Page. They often contact me to ask how to get their cat featured. There are two ways I utilize and encourage this. The first keeps the page growing, and the second directs these fans back to the main site, where they discover more photos, content, and shopping choices.
Many Facebook fans post a photo on the Facebook page itself. At this point I get so many photos I can't click on each one to share to my wall! Some of the funniest, most engaging or beautiful cats will get shared directly to my Facebook wall. These types of posts do not have a link back to the main site, but they do tend to get seen and shared by more Facebook users. These posts help grow my page.
Secondly, my visitors are encouraged to fill out a Content 2.0 form on the main site, where I manually copy and paste their cat into my monthly photo album. Photo submissions of over 500 words receive their own page. Each good quality photo gets posted directly on the Facebook Page itself, with a jump link to the photo submission itself!
I recommend finding a unique angle to your Facebook posts, a theme to tie them together. Also, keeping it simple is key, as time goes on and the photos keep pouring in. Nearly all of my posts are formatted the same, they are an invitation to "meet" a cat or kitten. Here is an example…
Note the jump link, which is an invitation to visit this cat for more about him. This is different from a typical post, which is usually a link to a page, with an automatic preview. This is considered a photo post, and it normally reaches a larger audience than a link type post. By slipping a link into the text manually, you get the best of both post types!
Facebook Marketing Tip
When you post photos to your Facebook Page, follow these best practices…
- If you get a lot of photos, try to spread them out. I find that photos do not reach my personal news feed if they are closer than 2hrs apart. So I try to schedule them ahead, every 2hrs and 10 minutes. Play with it and see what works best.
- Try to be regular. Taking a few minutes each morning and evening to share photos really keeps your community engaged!
- I do not use any auto-posting service. I don't think they look like a person was behind the wheel. This really doesn't take much time, and when done with a personal touch, it is well worth the repeat visitors.
Once your Facebook fans, or friends, as I like to call them, become used to these regular photos, they come to expect and enjoy any posts from their favorite page. This includes links to new articles, links to product reviews, invitations to sign up for a newsletter, as well as links to new and updated photo albums.
When I am following these practices regularly, I can expect to see over 200 daily visitors from Facebook to my site. These are "regulars," who enjoy the sense of community and keep coming back to engage, browse, share more!

An increase in civilian casualties from 2012 to 2013 in Afghanistan demonstrates the Taliban's disregard for human life, the State Department said on Wednesday.
Marie Harf, the State Department's deputy spokesperson, made the remarks on Wednesday during a daily press briefing. Harf responded to a question about the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan's recent report that civilian casualties were up 23 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the previous year. Harf said that approximately 75 percent of all civilian casualties in Afghanistan are caused by insurgents and improvised explosive devices.
"As the report shows, the vast majority - I think it's about three-quarters - of all civilian casualties are still caused by insurgents despite urging from the U.N. to reduce civilian casualties," Harf said. "And IEDs remain the single largest killer of Afghan children, women, and men in this conflict. Again, these continued attacks show that the Taliban attacks show disregard for human life, and of course, we are concerned about that."
Harf also responded to a question about Pakistan, given that the majority of IEDs purportedly originate in Pakistan. When asked if the U.S. was satisfied with the steps Pakistan is taking on IEDs, Harf said the U.S. would continue to work with Pakistan on the issue going forward.
"We have very good cooperation on counterterrorism issues with the Pakistanis," Harf said. "But obviously, we'll continue to talk about issues of cross-border militancy and the reality that safe havens that threaten both Pakistan and Afghanistan and U.S. interests and regional stability are operating in that area. So we're going to continue working with the Pakistanis on this issue going forward."

Beware! The market for consumable liquids is fierce and filled with misleading promises. Well-intentioned people can unknowingly consume hundreds of calories and dozens of teaspoons of added sugar or sugar substitute by drinking innocent looking juices and sweetened teas. These products can be nice as special treats for rare occasions, but water should always be your go-to for hydration. How many glasses or bottles of water will you drink today?

May Is Skin Cancer Awareness Month
Read More
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK, and cases continue to rise each year. At least 100,000 new cases are now diagnosed each year, and the disease kills over 2,500 people each year in the UK - that's seven people every day.
Unfortunately, the UK is not the only country with a high rate of people being diagnosed with skin cancer. With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms...

The 22-storey condominium tower being built on the site of the historic Roy Building will reflect the changing face of Barrington Street, the developer said.
Louis Reznick of Starfish Properties, who recently completed the Barrington Espace and the six-storey office at 1592 Barrington St., told assembled media Thursday that the Roy luxury condominium tower will be a one-of-a-kind building in Halifax.
"It's quite a unique design, it's quite a unique building … and you will not be able to replicate it in the downtown," Reznick said. "Three city blocks in what is fast becoming the centre of life in Halifax, with everything residential going up."
There will be a floor dedicated to amenities such as a fitness centre, pool, yoga room, theatre, kitchen and dining room. The first two floors will feature retail space, while the next four levels will be for above-ground parking accessible by elevators.
Construction on the development at 1657 Barrington St. reached above ground more than a year after the historic Roy, and two smaller properties behind it, at 5181 and 5187 Sackville St., were demolished.
Completion is scheduled for spring 2017, Reznick told reporters at the new model suite and sales centre at 1668 Barrington St.
"Our speed will come later. I mean, for us, the difficulty was getting out of the ground, and the first six floors are different, and so they take time. So the next 16, 17 levels should go rather quickly.
"We're hoping to make the target date. There's always things that happen, but we have no reason to think we're not going to make it."
Originally planned as a 140-unit luxury condominium project, Reznick and his team at Page + Steele IBI Group Architects had to make some last-minute changes, including downsizing some units from about 750 square feet to a little less than 600 and adding an extra level of storage lockers.
Other buyers opted to combine two or three units into one, which means the final tally will be 112 condos, mostly with two bedrooms and a den.
The smaller units, which are in the $300,000 range, are almost completely sold out, Reznick said.
"We consciously thought there was no need for it here. I mean, I looked at rental buildings all over Halifax-Bedford, they're designing rental (units) with 1,000 square feet."
The price points vary by size and the floor location of the unit, but the remaining available units are $400,000 to $1.4 million.
Here's a video from theroyhalifax.com:
About 22 per cent of all units are sold, said Mariana Cowan of Coldwell Banker Supercity Realty, part of the new in-house sales team. The units and the model suite have been designed by Union31 of Toronto.
There is 20,000 square feet of as-yet-unclaimed penthouse space, which could be divided into four units, Reznick said.
Construction has caused some headaches for pedestrians, particularly when the sidewalk is closed and that problem is coupled with other maintenance work being done on Barrington.
Reznick said he has personally not heard any complaints, noting that new hoarding will be put up in the next week or two.
"The site is well lit; I was here last night. It's been lit from the top and through the building, and we're fenced in," he said. "I have no fear of walking in front of the building and I would take my grandchildren with me."
The developer also provided an update on his other projects on the street.
Beacon Securities Ltd. will move into 1592 Barrington St., while a prominent restaurant will be announced for Barrington Espace. He declined to name the restaurant, only stating that it is not local.
Anchored by Urban Outfitters, Espace will be almost 100 per cent leased by the end of the month.
"This has been one of the best openings they've had, they told me, in years," Reznick said. "Halifax really welcomed them, and they've been just delighted with it."

2017 NCAA Tournament: How many elite recruits are on each Sweet 16 roster?
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Remember when Duke had assembled one of the greatest recruiting classes of all-time? The Blue Devils signed four of the top 15 players in the Class of 2016, good for the No. 1-ranked haul in the country. And yet … they didn't advance out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Remember when Michigan State had assembled the greatest recruiting class of Tom Izzo's career? The Spartans signed two McDonald's All-Americans and four top-50 prospects in the Class of 2016, good for the No. 3 class nationally. And yet … they didn't advance out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Remember when N.C. State and Texas combined to sign three 5-stars and seven top-100 prospects, giving the Wolfpack and Longhorns the No. 4 and 5 classes in the country? And yet … they both went 4-14 in their respective conferences.
Remember when Washington somehow snagged Markelle Fultz and LSU landed Ben Simmons, who might soon share the distinction of being No. 1 overall picks in the NBA Draft? And yet … both programs missed the NCAA Tournament and fired their coach.
You know who remembers all of these things and has no doubt kept score of the results? Kentucky coach John Calipari.
"People are finding out," he said Monday on his radio show, "it's hard to do what we do with young kids."
RELATED: Kentucky, Calipari agree to extension through 2024
Indeed, among the top 10 recruiting classes of 2016 (per the 247Sports Composite), only Kentucky and Arizona are still playing. Five of those programs didn't even make the NCAA Tournament.
Rival fans love to proclaim things like, "Even I could win a national title with Calipari's talent." It's an idea that greatly annoys him, as Calipari often facetiously refers to how critics must imagine his coaching style: "You know, I just roll the balls out," he'll say, rolling his eyes.
However, while having talent doesn't guarantee a deep run in March, it's mighty tough to make one without it. SEC Country scoured the rosters and recruiting rankings of each of the 16 teams still playing, and here's what we found:
Every remaining NCAA Tournament team has at least one former top-100 recruit on the roster, 13 schools have at least three of those and seven have at least six. Half the Sweet 16 field has at least one former 5-star recruit and six teams have multiple 5-stars.
Kentucky has the most former 5-stars (six), while North Carolina has the most former top-100 recruits (nine). Arizona, UCLA and Kansas have the next-most high-end talent. Not shockingly, those programs have the best odds in Las Vegas to win the national title.
RELATED: Time, TV, what to know about UK-UCLA rematch
Here's a look at every Sweet 16 team listed in order of on-paper talent, most to least, with another reminder that such things don't always matter. Just ask Duke, Michigan State, N.C. State, Texas, Washington and LSU. Or John Calipari.

Chipotle in Paris
I love Instagram, but will admit that I (like many others) often only share the highlights of my day (mostly good food that I do not cook).
Rarely do you see a picture of my not-so-great moments. But trust me – there are many.
So in keeping with my attempts to keep this blog honest, I thought it would be nice to share some of the not-so-great moments of our trip to Paris last week:
- Maya refused to speak in French which was a huge part of the reason we planned the trip.
- After threatening her with her life she finally came up with one sentence, and I believe it had something to do with requesting more guacamole.
- At Chipotle.
- Judge me as you wish – I deserve it for letting her eat Chipotle in Paris. But I just didn't have any more fight left in me.
- Ali discovered Google Translate's camera function and spent the trip obsessively holding his phone up against everything saying, "Can I translate that for you?"
- I wanted to throw his phone into the Seine.
- Until I needed Google Translate's camera function to figure out if my prepackaged salad had cheese in it.
- Yes, I ate a prepackaged salad as I enviously watched Maya devour her tacos.
- Sometimes I wish I didn't have such strong principles.
- It rained and was freezing cold for the duration of our trip. Until the morning we left, of course, at which point it was sunny and 85 degrees.
- Because of the rain we did a lot of indoor things including a visit to the beautiful Baccarat museum where Ali and Maya yawned incessantly.
- Maya said she wanted to see the Mona Lisa instead, at which point Ali declared the Mona Lisa "a waste of time."
- Honestly, I don't understand the appeal of the Mona Lisa either so I didn't fight him (unusual for me). Feel free to judge me again.
I won't bother to bullet point the status of my hair on the trip (frizzy thanks to the rain), another minor bout of food poisoning (must stop eating smoked salmon), or my constant nagging that Ali and Maya pick up their s@#$ so I stop tripping all over it.
In conclusion I have to admit that I love the escapism of Instagram as much as the next person. But sometimes it's nice to put things into perspective. Yes?

As hilarious as ever! I laughed out loud on 'something to do with requesting more guacamole'.
Wish you would post more often 😉 I am being greedy now.
Taking On Magazines permalinkSeptember 4, 2015 11:25 am
I grew up in a French family and still don't like speaking French to anyone so yeah, I empathize with Maya. It's a lot of pressure. 🙂 Also, I'd have eaten the tacos.
September 4, 2015 11:30 am
That's like my cousins going to India and refusing to talk to our grandparents in Gujarati!
But the upside was that you guys were in Paris! 🙂 That counts for something!
September 4, 2015 11:49 am
No judgment about the Mona Lisa – it is a waste of time. It's incredibly small, swarmed by people so you can't even get near it and you can't appreciate it from afar because of every idiot there is holding up their iPad for a photo. The Louvre as a whole, for me personally, was a bit of a bore. Give me Impressionism and sculptures all day long. I found myself happier at Orsay and Rodin.
Also: if what you define as "frizzy" hair is what is illustrated in your photos – give me your hair. I can trade you so you can see what the real beauty of frizzy is 😉 I kid, I kid. You look beautiful and radiant as usual! ❤
Glad you had some time in Paris! 🙂 Safe travels home ❤
September 4, 2015 11:57 am
I love everything about this post. Our couples therapist told me I need to let the boys be more self regulating. I wanted to cut him. I told him if I died the napkin would remain on the table for eternity. So I'm with you but have many a chipotle moment or at this point chipotle hours. My kids LOVE it, my eyes swell for days.
September 4, 2015 3:42 pm
putting things in perspective is a good thing.
And my perspective is always right! Just kidding.
What a super beautiful family!
Nadia permalinkSeptember 5, 2015 12:06 am
Hysterical Ameena as always!! Loving the pictures I want to see every shot inside the baccarat museum how incredible didn't even know that existed! I'm sure you had many croissants and Maccarons to make up for the chipotle, hilarious! Really looking forward to catching up! Must be so good to be home! Xx
September 30, 2015 2:45 pm
I need to take a trip back to Paris, I didn't enjoy it much the first time. Wow, they have Chipotle in Paris.. so cool. I need to get this Google Translate. your comment about throwing Ali's phone into the Seine made me LOL. Thank you!!!

We are very excited about the direction Man Up! is headed and want to invite you to take part in our Man Up! Winter Workshop Thursday December 16th from 6-8:30pm at Johnson County Community College in their Carlson Center in room 107. We will highlight new directions for Man Up!, preview our new program "Strength Clubs", and this will be the first step for all interested Man Up! volunteers. If you have interest in our Man Up! Program as a potential volunteer or in simply learning more about the program, especially "Strength Clubs", this will be the perfect opportunity for you.
In case you don't know, Man Up! is MOCSA's program that aims to engage men and boys about how they can play a vital role by being a part of the solution to end sexual violence. There a lot of reasons to have a program that specifically addresses men but two standout: 1) men know survivors as family members, neighbors, and co-workers and care to see sexual violence end; 2) men can challenge other men to stop rape before it starts. At MOCSA, we believe all men can...
SPEAK UP!- If a brother, friend, co-worker or teammate is disrespectful to girls and women, don't look the other way, speak up. Increase awareness of others by letting them know its not the victim's fault.
STAND UP!- Mentor and teach young boys how to be respectful men who don't degrade or abuse girls and women. Understand how media, attitudes, and behaviors might inadvertently demean women and perpetuate sexual violence.
MAN UP!- Be a part of the solution by being an ally to those working to end sexual violence; support organizations and events publicly and financially
You also might be interested to know that Strength Clubs are MOCSA's multi-faceted programs offering a proven model and a vital next step for engaging and reeducating young men toward the crucial goal of reducing levels of violence (against men and women) long-term. The program aims to mobilize young men to find and use their strength for creating a culture free from violence, especially men's violence against women. Strength Clubs provide a safe, structured, and supportive space to connect with male peers through exploring masculinity and male strength. Exposing young men to healthier, nonviolent models and visions of manhood, Strength Clubs challenge members to develop their own definitions of masculinity and to translate their learning into community leadership, progressive action, and social change.
For more information about how you can participate in this event, call MOCSA at 816.931.4527 and ask for the Man Up! Program Coordinator.
