Summer is slow for some birds, but towards the end of the month, the shorebirds and few warblers are showing up as they migrate south. I continued to see young birds. On the LA river I saw a young Caspian Tern begging its parent for food. The parent was not giving in as the young one was big enough to fend for itself. A young Osprey kept close to the adult. At Bolsa Chica I saw the baby Ridgeway's Rails. They are both kind of cute and at the same time kind of ugly. I was very excited to see my first local Green Sea Turtle. I had heard about them in our area but finally got to see and photograph one. I went to Bonelli Park in San Dimas looking for birds and insects. Knowing it would be a slow pace, I carried my large birding lens/camera on one shoulder and my macro lens/camera on the other. While the pickings were slim, they were still good. A highlight was watching Great-tailed Grackles catching and eating a large mantid and a Fig-eater Beetle. This is a big dragonfly month and I seemed to see them everywhere I went. The Neon Skimmer ws particularly striking. Outside my front door, I watched a male brown widow slowly approaching a female. He was very timid and kept running away before returning. By midnight he still had not gone all the way. I gave up before he did.
I was busy at the Nature Center. I had two photographs on exhibit and in the middle of the month I had a table with information to encourage nature journaling. I did not do much of that this month, but I did do a little artwork including the feather in colored pencil.
It was hot and dry on my monthly butterfly count with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy, but there was a pleasant breeze. There was a nice diversity of butterflies including a nice courtship/mating show by a pair of Northern White Skippers, predation by a crab spider on a Gray Hairstreak, and predation by a Green Lynx Spider on a Checkered White. Some other highlights were a tarantula hawk, Silver Argiopes, and a baby horned lizard.
At the end of the month I went back for some blacklighting in the same area. The people I expected showed up, as well as some other friends I know. Standing around the sheets with friends with common interest, makes for a fun party. We started off the evening by finding a tarantula walking across the parking lot. Then Bob Allen found us a trapdoor spider. There was an interesting diversity of insects on the sheets with at least ten different orders represented. I am mostly shooting to record the information rather than to make beautiful images, but you can't help but notice the beautiful patterns of nature. This tiny world is beautiful and fascinating when seen through the lens of a macro camera.
The day was cool and gray for my monthly bird survey at Los Cerritos Wetlands. We expected to see more birds than we did, but still we were not disappointed. There was a pair of young White-tailed Kites, an Ash-throated Flycatcher, and two young Blue Grosbeaks.

Enjoy the show! I always appreciate corrections to ID's.

Private carrier Jet Airways today said its customers can now travel seamlessly to the German cities of Berlin and Dusseldorf via its overseas hub Abu Dhabi.
The Mumbai-based full service carrier has entered into a code-share pact, which comes into effect from this month with second largest German carrier airberlin to offer these services.
"We are pleased to commence our code-share partnership with airberlin, offering our guests convenient flight connections to Berlin and Dusseldorf via Abu Dhabi. We are confident that these flights will prove to be popular amongst travellers between India and Germany, not only for business purposes but tourism as well," Jet Airways Chief Commercial Officer Raj Sivakumar said today.
Jet Airways, in which Gulf airline Etihad is a strategic investment partner with 24 per cent stake has now 21 code-share partners and over a 100 inter-line partners, the airline said in a release.
While code-sharing allows an airline to book passengers on its partner carriers and provide seamless transport to multiple destinations where it has no presence, an inter-line pact allows an airline to issue and accept tickets for flights that are operated by the partner airlines.
When selling an inter-line ticket, the operating airline's own flight numbers are used.
Jet Airways operates 12 daily services to Abu Dhabi from 11 Indian cities.
Under the pact, Jet Airways would place its code (9W) on airberlin's (AB) daily flights to Berlin (TXL) and Dusseldorf (DUS) from gateway point Abu Dhabi.
"We look forward to welcoming travellers from India on board of our airberlin flights from Abu Dhabi to the German capital Berlin and to Dusseldorf, the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, which is one of the most powerful economic regions in Germany.
"Our joint guests will benefit from smooth flight connections and our outstanding product which we are offering on the ground and in the air," airberlin's senior Vice-President for Alliances and Cooperation Stephan Nagel said.

(Monday - March 26, 2012)
Okay, we don't really have so far to go, just 2 weeks....2 WEEKS FROM TODAY IS MY DEPARTURE DATE!!!! WAHOO!!!
Okay, we don't really have so far to go, just 2 weeks....2 WEEKS FROM TODAY IS MY DEPARTURE DATE!!!! WAHOO!!!
So first off, I would just like to make it known that I have created a life goal to be in the Mormon Tablernacle choir before I die! Yeah, it's going to happen! Stephanie is in it with me!
This week is really going to be a fantastic week! Let me just give you some hightlights....
First off last week, I received my invitation! I have been invited to participate in a "Special MTC Choir"!
So listen up! ATTENTION EVERYONE IN EYESIGHT OF THIS EMAIL:
There is going to be an MTC Choir for the Saturday Afternoon Session of this upcoming General Conference this weekend! I am in it. You I expect all who are reading this to have their DVRs set to record, and their eyes glued to the tele this Saturday Afternoon at 2:00PM MST or 4:00PM EST!!!! Keep a look out for me, and send me a quick note if you see me! ;) I am so excited! I can hardly contain myself! What an amazing experience it is going to be! And we have some pretty powerful songs lined up! It is going to be a sight! What is better than 300 of the Lord's servants bearing testimony through song for everyone around the world to see! It will be amazing...anywho....back to this week!...
So this week is going to be fantastic because:
1) We have choir practice every single morning to prepare for this weekend, plus twice tomorrow because I think there are people coming to hear us and make sure we are all ready.
2) We are hosting this week!!!! I've been waiting for this since like week 2! Ha! We get to stand out on the curb and pry little newbies/greenies away from their weeping mothers, and carry their 50 lb luggage up tons of stairs and initiate them into missionary life! It's going to be a blast! I can't wait! And apparently this is the week David Archuletta is supposed to come! Ha! Wouldn't that be cool to pick him up! Apparently someone in our district knows someone who works here and they can look up all the info on the missionaries and so we have all the deets on him. What building he is staying in, when he leaves, ect. It's great! I guess he is supposed to be here for 3 weeks and then go to the Peru MTC or something like that...who knows!
3) WE GET TRAVEL PLANS THIS WEEK!!!!! Well, travel plans are supposed to come, whether we get them will depend on our visas. I guess we will find out this week if we have our visas or not. If not, it won't be another 2 weeks, till our "departure date" that we are reassigned. Those in our district going to North Carolina should at least get them this week. I have been waiting for this week since week 1 and it's here!!!
4) General Conference of course! I get to sing and get out of Provo, and into beautiful Salt Lake which I love so much and go to General Conference which is the best time of the year. Plus I'm singing, and then I get to sing, and see the prophet and all that grand stuff! :) So pumped!!!
So this past week we had the awesome pleasure of hearing from Elder Oaks and his wife! He talk was a live broadcast to all the MTCs around the world. It was really good, and his wife is so sweet. While we were practicing for choir that night (I don't know if I told you but choir sings every Tuesdays at devotionals) and we saw people setting things up. They had this chair up to the podium testing height and stuff and we thought, Oh Pres. Packer is coming to speak to us, cause you know he has to stay seated when he speaks in conference and such. Well, when the Oaks walked in, we were surprised! Apparently Sister Oaks was recovering from foot surgery and so she had the chair while she spoke. It a nice evening!
So our zone leaders got reassigned last week since their visas weren't coming through, so yesterday we had to do some leadership rearranging. Our district leader and his companion were called as the new Zone leaders and I was called as the new district leader for our district. So that happened! I'm not sure how I feel abou it. I'm kind of nervous and I hope everything goes well. It shouldn't be too bad since we only have 2 weeks left, but we have a crazy district! Wish me luck?
So how is the U-Verse treating everyone!?!? Sounds like Cole is lovin it!
Yay for tax returns! Thanks for doing that Dad! I appreciate it!
I'm super jealous that dad and Alex are now hometeachers to Miss Linda! Tell her Elder Dayne (That's how she should know me! )says hi!
So yeah, our teacher told us about the earthquake in Mexico! It was close to where he served and close to where the other Elders in our district are going. He said there was like no damage or deaths though which is good!
I'm glad you received a call from Aunt Melanie and Aunt Suzette! Yeah, we were just in the Celestial room ready to leave and I look up and see what looked like Uncle John and Aunt Melanie leaving. So I rush and grab them and we were able to talk for a bit! It was so good to talk to them and see someone I knew! It made me really happy! And then yesterday on our Temple I run into Brooke Wolfgram and I we say hi and talk for a bit and then say bye. Then she comes back and says she has some people who want to say hi! It was fun saying hi to them for a few seconds! It's great how you always see people you know at the temple!
I'm sorry to hear about Cole's derby race! What a trooper though! You will have to email me a picture of the car!
Alex, that is great to hear that your friend is interested in the Book of Mormon! I have some advice! Every year of high school at Christmas I gave away copies of the Book of Mormon to friends with a little letter and a note explaining what is was and how special it was to me. However, I just gave it to them and never followed up or asked them about it. Last yeah, I did follow up! I gave one to Hannah, and followed up and asked her about it and we ended up meeting with the missionaries for visit or two. And as missionaries we are always told to follow up on commitments and how important that is. So I invite you to not do as I did and just never bring it up, but follow up on his reading and what he thinks and if he has any questions you could answer. And if you can't answer questions, tell him you'll get back with him and go home and ask someone or find the answer! What a great missionary opportunity! Keep me updated on how things go!
Thanks for the stories this week mom and dad! I especially liked the story of the translation of the Book of Mormon in Afrikaans and the "Then I'll be Happy". A worked was actaully telling some of us missionaries that same translation story today. And the "Then I'll be happy"...I can totes relate! That story is my life! Ha! When I have a hard day or things aren't going well with my comp, I just think 2 more weeks and then I'll have a change of everything. But, I'm sure I'll miss the MTC and wish I could go back. I'm going to make these last 2 weeks count!
So apparently the Sunday after conference we are having a special fast sunday since it is Easter Sunday. We are told we are having a MTC wide sacrament meeting and a General Authority is coming! It should be good! I'm excited!
Well, that's all I got for now! Don't forget: General Conference. Saturday Afternoon Session. MTC Choir. Me.
I love and miss you all!
¡Yo sè que vive me Señor!
Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Joyner!

A.I. War Opens First Credit World, Launches Recruitment Contest
Berlin-based GameArt Studio has just launched the first credit world in the sci-fi browser game A.I. War.
So what exactly is a credit world? Well, it's a server where in-game credits are the only currency. There are no microtransactions here! This means that all in-game features are either included in the premium package or are simply available for free.
On top of this, the server brings back the old market, which allows players to barter, haggle, trade, or whatever other words you have for negotiating the exchange of goods via in-game chat, private messages, or the game's forums. Oh, and you'll get discounts for trading with friends and clan mates, so support your local in-game business.
But what would a new game sever be without its players? In order to get active users into the game, GameArt Studio is hosting a recruitment contest, not only granting the usual bonuses to players who convince others to join, but upping the stakes a notch by giving out prizes to the top recruiters.
And don't be bummed out that so many of your gamer friends are in other countries. The server is both multinational and multilingual.

ISLAMABAD – The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday temporarily banned Aamir Liaquat Hussain's programme 'Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga' on Bol News.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim issued a warning stating if the channel's management continues airing the programme, the bench will initiate contempt of court proceedings against the channel and the anchor Amir Liaquat.
On Tuesday last week the SC also scrapped a contempt notice issued to Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) chairman Absar Alam.
The orders were issued in an appeal filed by Pemra against an order of SHC which granted stay to Labbaik Private Limited against Pemra's order of prohibiting Aamir Liaquat from airing show until the decision of Councils of Complaints.
Eminent lawyers Zahid Kakharuddin and Kashif Hanif represented Pemra in the case. Earlier last month the media watchdog had banned Aamir from appearing on any TV show for allegedly spreading hate, but Aamir got relief from the Sindh High Court.
With today's decision, the televangelist would not be able to appear on television screen till any further order by the apex court.
The hearing of the case has been adjourned till Wednesday.
Meanwhile, talking to newsmen after the verdict, Pemra chairman Absar Alam expressed that the regulatory authority would take strict action regarding hate speech.

Not to sure about that. But Do you have all the pieces to the puzzle then you can try going to the area to give them to one special lich.
I would be very careful going there if you had troubles with the lich in the city gate I would wait.

Easy Way to Kill The Lch In the City Gates- Go in with a fully hasted party, and PFE10'Radius. Make sure you have breach memorized. If you lucky, the lich wont cast any spells other than its protections. If your not lucky, wait until after the time stop has ended, and run out of the room. Rest for 8 hours, rehaste your party and go back in there. The lich will be defensless because it uses up its best spells in the time stop. The pit fiend will be unsummoned. Attack the lich. EASY.

Liches vary in power, so some are easier, some are harder.
What I have done so far: it is certainly a bonus to me that I have played through the BG2 already couple of times, so I generally still remember what to wait where and where something spawns. Mind though that this is not a "rule of thumb", some encounters the game adjusts )somewhat) to your level; i.e. you were some lvl 7 and ran in some spot into some lousy ghoul or ghast, but then you get to that same spot 'nother time around at lvl 17 and tadaa! there's some bloody skeleton warrior or lich.
Anyway, my main char is human berserker. I took berserker for 2 reasons: he's a fighter and I always have been a warrior in RPG's and berserker, when enraged, has some very handy immunities. Basically, go crazy and then charge and the big bad spells are to you like a water on the goose. From weapons I use mainly Blade of Roses (because it's +3 weapon and that aint bad at all) and Sword of Balduran (yeah just +2 sword, but I like it because of additional Magic Resistance). I also have the.. blah, forgot the name, the longsword which casts Sunfire (or something), from the lich in Gate area. What somewhat puzzles me is that the desc tells that the sword will act as a +4 sword against the evil, and I suppose the liches and such are evil, yet the sword cannot hit them through their spells heh. Or Greater Mummy's. Bug? I understood it wrong? What else? Liches are good but just with a permanent bad mood?
Anyway that was the first lich I fought and forgot the level, but it wasn't high at all. It was a difficult fight for that level, Minsc and Yoshimo died in the process. Lich went it's usual way with the Time Stop and so on, Yoshi was nuked down with the Meteor Swarm. Aerie and Jaheira were throwing debuff spells and heals, while my char and Minsc and Korgan were whacking away. To no avail of course, because of the protections. I did have the Boots of Speed on the main char though, also drank the Haste potion to get the double speed. Also had the Enrage and Draw Holy Might on. The Pit Fiend what the lich gated in was chopped down fast by my main char (sorry, forgot to mem Prot. from Evil heh). After that Minsc died to some spell, beats me what it was, but strong enough to kill Minsc with 70% HP. By that time the Aerie and Jaheira had slapped all their debuff and dispell spells on the lich and my main char was getting through with the Blade of the Roses. As soon as he could get thru to the lich, it went down fast.
The 2 liches who guard the remnants of Kangaxx were not that tough anymore. I had gained some more levels, and as I said, I knew where they spawned. So I set my chars up, also Yoshi put out ALL his snares to where the lich should spawn (dang I love 'em snares!). Then the main char does the usual buff (Enrage, Draw Holy Might, Boots of Speed), rest prepare (you will see that I aint much into the spells, spells just aint my area, I always preferred the steel hehe). Lich came out, gave his cryptic speech and... KABOOM! You know, the blast from 4 to 6 snares sure does hurt heh (3 special and 3 usual, sometimes some failed, sometimes not). At the same time Aerie and Jaheira let the debuffs fly and rest go at it. No one ever died in these encounters, no char was ever below 60% HP. Improvement
I went to Temple Ruins and by that time my char was lvl 18. Here I saw the game adjustment according to the level, as I used to run in few places into lich and 2-3 Greater Mummy's, and 2-3 Skeleton Warriors, at ONCE. Now the last 2 are not really my concern, good thing if they can even hit me. I did worry about the liches tad, mainly because I left the party at the entrance and was literally soloing the place. Shadows are funny and no challenge at all. So seeing the lich, I did again the usual (Enrage, Draw Holy Might, Oil of Speed, Boots of Speed), equipped the Blade of Roses and the sword-which-casts-the-Sun-spell-thingie, and waded in. I don't know if these liches are weaker or stupider, but while they did slap up the protections fast, I still was able to hit thru them. Got first down to 50% fast, then it shot up the Prot. from Magic Weapons. I couldn't hit it and it was shooting the spells at me - well, as soon as he did that Prot. I paused and grabbed the Sword of Balduran for the magic resistance. Good enough, the spells I got smacked with were either resisted, I rolled saving throws and got no damage (saw at one point like 4-5 different rolls and not a point of damage), some spells hit me and like lil' rocks were bouncing around me, but I got no damage. Some fire spell did damage me for 11 or 15 points, but with the 180 HP I had with the current buffs, it was nothing. Lich went down. Another one was near the Amaunator puzzle (tiles with letters), but he was no different. However, in that area I did get damaged to 50%! And not from the lich, but from his summon. Namely he summoned the djinni, darn bugger. Here I saw that buffs and prots are good, since I damaged MYSELF on the dang Fire Shield of the djinni. My attack speed and rate was enourmous and so was the fire damage return. Basically I had 95% HP, smacked the djinni, then was like wham! wham! wham! super fast for some time and I saw HP drop fast heh! I exited the room fast, got the Heal from Jaheira and Fire Resist from Aerie, went in and beated the floating blitering fool to oblivion.
Well, sorry for the too long post. I just wanted to show that the pure melee char, with his own buffs and own gear can handle the situations too. In some cases he will need some help, yes, but overall, when you do things carefully, you will be OK [img]smile.gif[/img] My main char is the one who always goes in first and out last. Basically I almost solo with him heheh.. I looked and he had under the Information Tab: Group XP per chapter 90%, XP per game 90% hehe..

IMO the lich in Gate district is the easiest lich in SoA. Even an inexperienced adventurer like myself have waxed it the first time round. Didn't even have to rest to kill his sorry ass...

As I stated, it was pretty much when I started BG2. So the chars were not very high lvl. Also a lich which casts Time Stop is in my eyes "sneakier" then the lich which doesn't cast it. The one at the Gate area cast Time Stop, it also Mazed my main char as I recall now (or whatever that spell is, where the char is surrounded by 2 walls which close in), used Meteor Shower (which pelted Yoshi), Abi-Dahlzim (on main char) and what not else. I aint much into spell names, but he sure packed some firepower. Not to mention some spell which eminated out of him outwards, smacking Minsc flat on the floor (spell looked like circles eminating out of him, but not a full circle, rather the 'sectors', and like 3 circles in a row). This was actually the first case when I said "Darn, have to reload, the main char is Mazed". I expected the game end, as it usually does as I recall. But it didn't. I couldn't select my main char for some time, he had this red cube icon on him, which looked like a labyrinth. I wonder if it's one of the fixes I got from Baldurash which kept my main char alive. In any case, that lich sure packed some punch.
Much later, the liches I smacked in Amaunator Temple didn't definately put up such a firework. My main char came out of the Maze, all buffs gone (he had many on when he got Mazed), but by that time the lich defenses were worn down or smacked down my Aerie and Jaheira (who were out of those debuff spells as well). In any case, I could suddenly select my main char, and he smacked but once (some 30+ critical) and the lich went down. Some spells shot up, but they already went on the corpse.
In any case, that lich definately wasn't anything too easy. I wasn't very high lvl, neither my party (all were over 10 but not above 13). The other liches so far have actually given me much less trouble, mainly of course due to my advantage: I am in the area before they spawn [img]smile.gif[/img] So I can set snares and chars and prots etc.
One overkill too: in Planar Prison, I went after the Warden with my main char. I slapped on the Boots of Speed and Enrage, figuring it's enough since he just had a battle with thralls and was worn down. Well he wasn't so worn down at all, in fact he had about 6 Yuan-Ti's with him (3 mages and 3 Greater, don't recall seeing them there last time). In any case, he was more then ready and my char got waxed. I don't know how, I had 50% HP and next thing - croak! Dead. That I didn't like. So I reloaded, killed the Master of Thralls and then started to buff. Oil of Speed, Boots of Speed, Drap Upon Holy Might, Enrage, resists and what not else. Basically I was covered up to the eyes with the buff icons. And here's the overkill part: my char runs to the Warden and WHACK! With a single hit smashes him into minced meat! I did check it's HP and it was just as it was last time. I used the Blade of Roses and Sword of Balduran (extra magic resist aint bad ever). I was looking at the screen with utter disbelief that I even didn't manage to get the damage info hehe.. I know it was critical, char screamed something and the screen was shaking, but dang... Such a preparation and it's all over with a single hit. Sheesh.
I had some few second fun though, the Yuan-Ti's came now (3 mages and 3 Greater again), but before they could say "Tadaa!" they were already chopped, as Minsc would say, into "foe-shaped chunky bits".

Each year the Associated Student Government hosts a voting event to encourage students to participate in the election of their representatives. This year's is coming up on April 20 and will be held from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the courtyard outside the library and is open to all BC students. In addition to having laptops ready for students to cast their votes, the event will include food trucks and music.
Approximately 70 percent of voting happens the day of this event each year, including 767 out of the 1,019 total votes last year. This represents just 3 percent of the student population at BC.
Attendees to the BBQ get two tickets when they get to the voting grounds, one for food and one for dessert. There will be additional dessert option which is new this year, offering Japanese fish-shaped waffles from the truck Beanfish. The food trucks featured include just one returning favorite: Off the Rez, which offers Native cuisine including frybread and Indian tacos. The other food option is a Korean/Mexican fusion truck called Bamba.
The ASG BBQ is busy every year, which means students should be prepared to wait in line. BC Program Coordinator Brandon Lueken said that facilitators will do everything they can to speed up the process, including allowing students to vote on their phones and receive tickets from roaming volunteers instead of waiting in line for the laptops. "They can only cook food so fast, so lines will be a reality," Lueken said. "But it will be worth it for the free food and for the experience."
Candidates will be present at the BBQ to talk to students and help potential voters understand their platform.
The three positions that students will have the chance to vote on will be ASG president, vice president for finance and communication and vice president for student affairs and pluralism. Students voting in this year's ASG elections have the chance to not only choose a representative, but weigh in on an important restructure of the way the entire student government will function.
This restructure would include an amendment to the ASBC constitution that would change two positions from being elected to hired positions. These roles would be filled by candidates approved by a hiring committee comprised of staff and students.
There are a few reasons for the restructuring, most importantly to increase the efficiency of the system as a whole. In the ASG, it also will ensure that the most qualified candidate for the role is the one who fills the position. "Some candidates are very good at campaigning, but when it comes to actually doing the job, that is not where their skills lie," Leuken explained of the possible change.

Where are the Low Countries?
The Low Countries is a coastal region located in Western Europe.
Where are the Low Countries of Western Europe?
The Low Countries of Western Europe generally refers to the countries that lie along the coastal zones of the North Sea and the English Channel. This region originally covered a number of countries: to the southeast, Luxembourg and Thionville in France; to the southwest, Gravelines and Dunkirk in France; to the northeast, Delfzijl in the Netherlands and East Frisia in Germany. This region is crossed by several important rivers, including the Meuse, Schelde, and lower Rheine. Each of these major rivers are connected by canals and waterways in order to ensure the efficient exchange of goods among the Low Countries.
These countries have a long, shared history and today they form part of a political and economic alliance that connect the mainland regions to the sea ports. This article takes a closer look at the history and current state of the Low Countries of Western Europe.
History of the Low Countries
The Frankish Empire was established in the 8th century AD after Frankish tribes moved into the area, taking control from the Germanic and Belgian tribes that were living there. In 768 AD, Charlemagne became King of the Franks and in 800 AD, was appointed Emperor of the Romans by the Pope. When he died, the Kingdom of Francia was divided among his 3 sons into West, East, and Middle Francia (which became known as Lower Lorraine). Lower Lorraine, or the Low Countries, were later divided under both the Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France.
Between 1549 and 1581, this region was known as the Seventeen Provinces after being liberated from a system of feudalism. The Southern Netherlands remained under Spanish rule, while 7 of the northern provinces declared independence. After the War of the Spanish Succession, the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht ceded the Southern Netherlands to Austria and from 1815 to 1830, all of the provinces were once again united as the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. This Kingdom was later divided into Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
The Benelux Union
Today, the low countries are referred to as Benelux (the first few letters of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), a political economic union. The first Benelux agreement was signed in 1944 to establish customs rules and regulations among the 3 countries. The Benelux countries went on to create the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 with Italy, West Germany, and France. This community went on to become the European Economic Community and later the present-day European Union.
The Benelux Union is governed by the Council of the Union, the Committee of Ministers, the Benelux Parliament, and the Secretariat General. Parliamentary meetings rotate 3 cities: The Hague, the city of Luxembourg, and Brussels. It is responsible for advising the various governments on economic issues and border relations. It has 49 seats: 7 from Luxembourg and 21 each from the Netherlands and Belgium. The Secretariat General operates from Brussels and serves as the administrative hub of Benelux, working closely with the Council of Economic Union and the Committee of Ministers. The Committee of Ministers is responsible for making recommendations to various working parties and organizing conventions. Any decision made by the committee is to be immediately upheld by each of the member nations.

The country's whole political transformation has been turned, or at least severely hindered by the rulings by the court. In the parliamentary elections, almost one third of the seats were open to individuals not affiliated with the political parties. However, fearing the old guard of Hosni Mubarak's National Democratic Party would target them, the military rulers hastily changed the election law to allow political parties participate in the election in those seats. The court has held that it is unfairly discriminatory towards political independents.
The court has also held that Mubarak's last Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq, can stand for the presidential run-off against Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi. In April, the Political Isolation Law, was passed by parliament (which is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood) and enacted by the country's ruling military council. It was just one month before the presidential election. The law bars anyone who served in a top position during the last 10 years of the Mubarak administration from holding public office for the next decade.
The law banned Shafiq from the race. But the day after it was passed, Shafiq appealed to the presidential election commission and was immediately reinstated. The commission then referred the law to the Supreme Constitutional Court for review. With their ruling on the law, the court allows even the former top Mubarak supporters to run for elected positions in the country. Theoretically, the sons of Hosni Mubarak, who were acquitted of corruption charges recently, can run for elected office.
Al Jazeera reports that Mohammed el-Beltagy, the vice-president of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), has called the sequence of events a "fully fledged coup" in a post on his Facebook page. But Presidential candidate Mohammed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate, has said in an interview with Egyptian channel Dream 2 that the constitutional court's decision to dismiss the entire parliament did not amount to a military coup. "I love the military forces," he said, adding that the court rulings indicated "there [are] some who seek, strive for, and plan ill against the people".
Some time after protestors took to the streets, calling the verdict to be politically motivated, Mohammed Shafiq held a press conference and declared that the era of "tailoring laws" has ended. Now that he is in the race for sure, the Egyptians will be watching the presidential run-off closely. The outcome of that race will not change the fact that Egypt is moving towards more confusion.

Darren Day surprised the Loose Women ladies this afternoon.
The hunk, who left the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday, revealed his next role would be in the West End hit Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.
In preparation for taking the lead role over from predecessor Jason Donovan, the actor decided to debut his drag make-over on the show - much to the audience's delight.
Plastered in make-up while sporting a figure-hugging mini dress and giant pink platforms, Darren looked a far cry from his usual self as a picture of him in costume was shared on stage.

"I think this is the only time my skinny legs have come in handy," Darren joked.
This will be the hunk's first role in the spotlight for years after he deliberately chose to take a step back from the public eye, growing tired of being portrayed as a love rat who was battling addiction.
However, despite falling off the radar, the CBB runner-up insisted that he never stopped acting.
"I've still been doing films and lots of fringe theatre projects," he explained. "It was my decision to step out of the spotlight because I didn't want to be in the headline any more."
However, during his time on Celebrity Big Brother, Darren believes he changed the public's perception of him and so is giving mainstream roles another shot.
During his stint on Loose Women, Katie Price quizzed Darren over the love affair between his former CBB housemates Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell.
When asked if he thought the romance would last, Darren said: "I guess only time will tell. It's so different in that house. But he has certainly told me that his feelings for her are real."

(This family did, and ahem, their pictures were amazing! Side note: this was the coldest weather day...but you'd never guess it by these pictures.)
So many families want to book pictures in the fall when the leaves are changing colors and sweaters and boots just come back in style. But, they don't because life gets hectic.
Then, December rolls around and life couldn't feel more hectic. They're preparing for the holidays, and they think,
"It's too cold for pictures now. I'll wait until summer--or even next fall."
Well, I'll just have you know, every time a family says that, a fairy dies. True story.
Don't put it off any longer.
Do you know how much your kids' faces change in a year?!
Let's book a session together. January is cold, sure...but there are ways to work with the weather, dress stylish, and still get those photos you know you need.
Besides...hot cocoa is always a good bribe for pretty smiles in family photos.

Department of Molecular Genetics
Research in the department is aimed at the analysis and manipulation of economic yield. The main target is to gain a thorough understanding of the control and regulation of plant growth and development and related metabolic pathways, and to embed the basic insights gained into applied research.
The department concentrates on three research areas.
The research in the Molecular Biology and Molecular Physiology of Development Processes in the Plant area focuses on understanding the genetic basis and the molecular mechanisms underlying variation in development and metabolism as induced by changes in the external environment. Of particular interest are the molecular and physiological mechanisms related to yield in the context of plant growth and seed development.
The basic insights obtained by these studies are reflected by the work of the Biotechnology Research area in its focus on developing methods to produce in planta novel molecules of value for pharmaceutical or industrial purposes, to predict the performance of hybrids and to enhance yield, yield stability and seed quality.
The third research area is concerned with the Development and Improvement of Research Methods and Technologies. A focal point is the use of bioinformatics to, for example, generate an integrated systems-based model of plant growth and development. A further aim is to develop experimental resources, technologies and methods which allow the automated, non-invasive assessment of plant traits.

One man`s trash may indeed be another man`s treasure, but in Joliet, that treasure belongs to the city.
The City Council passed an ordinance last week that prohibits the scavenging of recyclable materials within the city limits.
First offenders will be given a warning. City Atty. Tom Thannes said the city would prosecute anyone with a persistent pattern of scavenging, and the fine could go up to $500.

Finding right direction Social service agency treats employess with same care as clientsJohn McFerran
New Directions is one of this community's greatest success stories, even if it is not yet as widely recognized as it was under its former name, Children's Home of Winnipeg. With a rich history dating back to 1885 when the railway was being built and Winnipeg was a boomtown of 16,000 citizens, the organization was Western Canada's first "refuge for homeless, destitute and neglected children."
"We're proud to be celebrating our 125th year as the largest and oldest social service agency in Winnipeg," says executive director Dr. Jennifer Frain. "In 1996, our name changed from Children's Home to New Directions for Children, Youth, Adults and Families to better reflect our growth and how diverse we have become."
Diverse is an understatement, given the number of far-reaching care programs that New Directions provides in the community including: family therapy, treatment counselling, youth training resources, supported apartment living and shift-staff residential care. In its disability branch alone, there are five programs each ranging in the intensity of support it provides.
New Directions has 630 full- and part-time workers, including nearly 300 casual support workers and hundreds of foster parents. According to Frain, it is the can-do attitude of the people behind the organization that supports its ongoing evolution and innovation.
"When we answer the phone, our inclination is not to say no, it's to say, 'Hmm… how can we make that happen?'" Frain says. "We do our best to figure out what we would need to put a program into place, what kind of staffing it would require and what kind of dollars it would take to provide quality care to the individual in need."
Q: How do you ensure the "right fit" when hiring people to work at New Directions?
A: It can be a terrible thing to hire the wrong person, both for them and for you, so we've become better at clearly communicating all expectations at the start. We've had job candidates tell us we spend a great deal of interview time talking about ourselves and that's a good thing. We don't want to hoodwink anybody coming here; they need to know exactly who they're going to work for and we need to make sure they're okay doing the required work.
For example, we are very tolerant and accepting of people's choices, meaning we do not want employees who believe they know better than our participants. They are not here to direct or oversee them, but to be guides who walk alongside them. If one of our adult participants chooses to go out for the evening, they are their own decision maker. We are not here to judge nor shut them down. But we can help them come up with a plan to get home safely and responsibly. Same thing if someone wants a pet. Will their apartment allow pets? How will they care for it? Our role is to assist without being invasive. This is why we look for skilled workers who are empathetic and at the same time, understand how marginalization affects people's choices.
Q: Because of the nature of their work, how do you ensure your people avoid burnout?
A: Although we do see some burnout from time to time, I'm pleased to say we have fairly low turnover. This is likely because we're conscious of staying in touch with where people are at. The kind of work we do necessitates close supervision and staff support, so every two weeks, our people meet with their supervisors to debrief, to vent, to troubleshoot and to talk about what's bothering them. It's important we take their temperature at least every two weeks, but if something's running hot, we'll ensure those meetings happen more frequently. In addition, we offer robust employee assistance programs and also offer compassion fatigue training sessions.
Q: Employees are usually attracted to social services because the work is rewarding, not because the pay is great. As an employer, what do you offer to compensate?
A: We try to make up for it by providing a flexible work environment and a respectful workplace. New Directions' vision statement is "A community where all people have well-being, are honoured and can dream," which is not only about the way we provide services and programs, it's about how we treat our employees. In order to work with integrity and respect with participants, we must work with integrity and respect with each other. One of our most cherished values is to focus on all aspects of the individual — the emotional, spiritual, physical, intellectual, environmental and cultural — and this is reflected in the way we honour our employees. Whether they want to start a family, continue their education or advance their career, we take a holistic view to recognize and respond to their diverse needs as they go through life. It's important that we support staff in ways that are consistent with our vision, mission and values.
Q: What element of your people programs would you say still needs to be improved?
A: Everyone here is on a "circle of learning." They'll start by learning about their job and the agency and how their program fits within the agency. But one of the things on the circle that has been challenging is job shadowing. It's been a challenge to create an information flow between case managers or clinicians in different programs. Although they have similar roles, the work they're doing is quite different so there would be benefit in learning from each other. It would also help support new employees. New Directions has a richness of available resources, but it's a bit happenstance in terms of what you know coming in to this agency. Although we try to educate everyone with program presentations and updates, new staff may not realize that the specialized help they're seeking already exists here. There's just so much information, so many staff and so much going on, it's hard to expect someone to stay on top of it all. Job shadowing would help.
Q: What books have you read that have challenged or championed your leadership style?
A: To be honest, unless I'm on holidays, I'd rather read articles than a book. That may be because I'm still warped by my thinking in graduate school that it was too sinful to indulge in a book that could distract me from my PhD. So I subscribe to the Harvard Business Review, which I find has some great leadership insight. One article that particularly struck me was on the jobs that a CEO should never delegate. That list included being hands-on with hiring. To me, being involved with hiring is hugely important and fortunately, it's something that I genuinely like doing.
Q: Speaking of hiring, what traits do you look for in your future leaders?
A: They must have passion and energy; secondly, they have to like managing risk or be able to tolerate it well. Given the sheer size of our organization, they can't be a micromanager but at the same time, need to be comfortable with building teams and confident in delegating and identifying problems. That's a biggie. Sometimes, promoting people and moving them from "buddy to boss" where they must suddenly supervise their colleagues can create issues. That's why we train our supervisors to build conflict-resolution skills, deal with defensive employees and manage the transition to becoming a manager that holds people accountable.
Lastly, our leaders need to be good at multitasking. The thing I love about my job is that it uses every part of me — all my abilities, strengths and training. That fits in with our accommodating attitude around here. Because we rarely say "we can't do it" but "how can we do it?" it keeps us very busy. I certainly don't get bored; in fact, I haven't been bored in nine years.

Being secure in the fact that you are a beautiful spirit sometimes irritates those who don't know that. It reminds them of the fact that they are not sure of who and what they are and that the only way they can be is to envy those who do. They set up interactions to challenge you at every turn to validate their jealousy. They are looking outside for what can only be found within. Your best bet is to allow them to learn their own lessons and trip themselves up; just remember to be there to help them back uponly if they were NOT abusive.
If they were abusive, absence of your presence is necessary for them to grow and expand. Cutting off abusive people is exactly what they need to grow up and learn how to deal with life. Nothing you can say or do will sink in until they have to be on their own and deal with their aberrances. If you continue to forgive them and interact with them it only teaches them that you are forgiving and that they can get away with the same behavior again and again.
Bravely stand against those who are not out for your best interests. It sends a clear message to them AND to you that you will notbe treated in any way that doesn't acknowledge your talents, skills, abilities and inherent beauty. You are worthy of the best and you always have something to offer others; it is up to you to discover exactly what that is!
You are the one who determines what you allow in your life. Choose to allow only that which allows you to grow and expand and not wither and die. Acceptance of things as they are and not attaching emotional beliefs to them defines their effect on you. Don't allow experiences to affect you emotionally too much. If you do, you will vibrate those feelings out into the omniverse and co-create more of the same.
When you accept your Divine perfection within and act from it, you send a clear message of what you deem as acceptable to you for how others should treat you. If they choose not to treat you in the way you deem is acceptable, let them know. If they respond with more abuse, then move yourself into a space where you feel your inner beauty and others accept you as being just that. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. (Spirituality Guidance Channel)

How to use Xenical
How should I take Xenical?
What is Xenical?
Xenical (orlistat) blocks some of the fat that you eat, keeping it from being absorbed by your body.
Xenical is used to aid in weight loss, or to help reduce the risk of regaining weight already lost. This medicine must be used together with a reduced-calorie diet. Xenical is for use only in adults.
Orlistat is also available over-the-counter under the brand name alli for customers over the age of 18 years.
It is dangerous to purchase Xenical on the Internet or from vendors outside of the United States. Medications distributed from Internet sales may contain dangerous ingredients, or may not be distributed by a licensed pharmacy. Samples of "alli" purchased on the Internet have been found to contain sibutramine (Meridia), a prescription weight loss medication that can have dangerous side effects in certain people.
Take Xenical exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Never share Xenical with another person, especially someone who has a history of eating disorder. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
This medicine comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Xenical is usually taken 3 times per day with each main meal that contains some fat (no more than 30% of the calories for that meal). You may take the medicine either with your meal or up to 1 hour after eating.
If you skip a meal or you eat a meal that does not contain any fat, skip your Xenical dose for that meal.
The fat content of your daily diet should not be greater than 30% of your total daily caloric intake. For example, if you eat 1200 calories per day, no more than 360 of those calories should be in the form of fat.
Read the label of all food items you consume, paying special attention to the number of servings per container. Your doctor, nutrition counselor, or dietitian can help you develop a healthy eating plan.
Xenical is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Your daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates should be evenly divided over all of your daily meals. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Xenical can make it harder for your body to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. Your doctor may recommend that you take vitamin and mineral supplements while you are taking Xenical. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type of multi-vitamin or mineral supplement to use.
Take your vitamin or supplement at bedtime, or at least 2 hours before or after you take Xenical.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Throw away any unused Xenical after the expiration date on the medicine label has passed.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Xenical is a drug that may be misused as a weight-loss aid, and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Xenical dosing information
Usual Adult Dose for Obesity:
120 mg orally three times a day with each main meal containing fat. The dose may be taken during the meal or within 1 hour of completing the meal.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Obesity:
12 years or older:
120 mg orally three times a day with each main meal containing fat. The dose may be taken during the meal or within 1 hour of completing the meal.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, but no more than 1 hour after eating a meal. If it has been more than an hour since your last meal, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Recommended Dosing
The recommended dose of XENICAL is one 120-mg capsule three times a day with each main meal containing fat (during or up to 1 hour after the meal).
The patient should be on a nutritionally balanced, reduced-calorie diet that contains approximately 30% of calories from fat. The daily intake of fat, carbohydrate, and protein should be distributed over three main meals. If a meal is occasionally missed or contains no fat, the dose of XENICAL can be omitted.
Because XENICAL has been shown to reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins and beta-carotene, patients should be counseled to take a multivitamin containing fat-soluble vitamins to ensure adequate nutrition [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The vitamin supplement should be taken at least 2 hours before or after the administration of XENICAL, such as at bedtime.
For patients receiving both XENICAL and cyclosporine therapy, administer cyclosporine 3 hours after XENICAL.
For patients receiving both XENICAL and levothyroxine therapy, administer levothyroxine and XENICAL at least 4 hours apart. Patients treated concomitantly with XENICAL and levothyroxine should be monitored for changes in thyroid function.
Doses above 120 mg three times a day have not been shown to provide additional benefit.
Based on fecal fat measurements, the effect of XENICAL is seen as soon as 24 to 48 hours after dosing. Upon discontinuation of therapy, fecal fat content usually returns to pretreatment levels within 48 to 72 hours.
Xenical side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction to Xenical: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using Xenical and call your doctor at once if you have:
severe pain in your lower back;
blood in your urine, painful or difficult urination;
kidney problems–little or no urinating; swelling in your feet or ankles; feeling tired or short of breath; or
liver problems–nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, tired feeling, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Common Xenical side effects are caused by orlistat's fat-blocking action. These are signs that the medicine is working properly. These side effects are usually temporary and may lessen as you continue using Xenical:
oily or fatty stools;
oily spotting in your undergarments;
orange or brown colored oil in your stool;
gas and oily discharge;
loose stools, or an urgent need to go to the bathroom, inability to control bowel movements;
an increased number of bowel movements; or
stomach pain, nausea, rectal pain.

Duties Of A Certified Nursing Assistant
What exactly are the duties of a Certified Nursing Assistant, or CNA?Just as with the job itself, the duties of a CNA varies with the position. The range of responsibilities will depend on where you work, and in which state you reside. Generally, you are expected to be the "eyes and the ears" for the attending nurse.
The first obligation and main duty of a CNA is care of your patient. You're usually responsible for the daily care & management, and routine of your patient. This is particularly so when caring for elderly or geriatric patients in nursing homes and extended care facilities. You may also be assisting physicians and nurses to care for patients who are physically disabled, mentally disabled, ill, or injured.
If you work in a facility such as a hospital or nursing home, there will be specific tasks and objectives that you'll have to manage. In a hospital, this will vary by unit. You will usually be required to monitor and record vital signs: temperature, respiration, pulse, and blood pressure, and assess the patients level of pain. Some departments will have other specific functions, such as assisting with eating, dressing, and moving your patient. Certified Nursing Assistant duties often include taking patient history.
You must be quick to observe and know what to do in times of emergency situations. Protocols for various procedures, emergencies, etc., will vary by state and institution. Your duties are part of the total health care package and program for your patients and clients.
One reason that there is a chronic shortage of qualified nurse assistants is the high turnover rate. This is often due to stress and burnout. Avoiding burnout is something the CNA should be aware of. This is the result of continually feeling overwhelmed by your job duties. The medical field ranks number one in the area of job burnout. It is important that you pay attention to burnout, since patient care is the first thing to suffer.
Your employer will depend on your to report accurate information on patient charts. And if you think something requires immediate attention from a Nurse, then you need to be able to communicate that message effectively. You also need to feel comfortable going to the Nursing staff for assistance and questions as the need arises.
The Nursing Assistant profession takes a very particular type of individual to be able to meet the requirements. Remember that your employers have a responsibility to protect all the patients and provide the highest possible level of care.
The duties of a Certified Nursing Assistant are always challenging, but at the same time they can be enormously rewarding, exciting, and usually very satisfying. For those interested in pursuing a career in the medical field, obtaining your certification as a CNA can be exactly what you are looking for!
