On 28 February 2000, under the aegis of the Office International des Epizooties, a meeting was held between the representatives of the Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources of the Organisation for African Unity (OAU-IBAR) and the Conference of Agriculture Ministers of West and Central African Countries (CMA-AOC), the main regional organisations representing African countries in animal husbandry matters.
Representatives of countries involved in aid for the development of animal production and international organisations that play an important role in epidemiological surveillance and prophylaxis of epizootic diseases in Africa, also participated in this meeting, which was organised by the Centre for International Cooperation in Agricultural Research for Development (Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement - CIRAD).
At the close of the meeting, the participants signed the following declaration of intent:
"To this day, epizootic diseases remain one of the essential factors restricting the development of animal husbandry in Africa, as they induce heavy direct and indirect losses in national cattle.
Their negative impacts on livestock productivity are numerous: mortality of the animals, weight loss, slow development, decrease in fertility and fecundity, abortions, decrease in work power. The economic losses induced are also due to the costs of the control programmes to be implemented, and to the impact of animal diseases on public health when zoonoses are involved. Furthermore, epizootic diseases are generally transboundary, as live cattle movements are quite frequent in Africa, whether transhumant or nomadic, linked to the search for pastures and water in the dry season or animal transfers from production areas to consumer areas, at times at a great distance.
There are numerous control methods concerning epizootic diseases. However, whether they aim at limiting the impact of the most important cattle diseases on a national territory or a region; protecting a disease-free country or region from the introduction of a new disease, or preventing the emergence or re-emergence of a disease, knowledge of the epidemiological situation remains the cornerstone. Indeed, no control or prophylaxis is possible if the descriptive data (geographical distribution, prevalence, incidence …) or the conditions for dissemination (contagiousness factors) or continuity (carrying, and wild or domestic reservoir) remain unknown. Moreover, no large-scale control programme can be justified or implemented if the costs pertaining to the disease and the cost-benefits of the programme, based on an epidemiological study, are not known.
Surveillance is the key to the early detection of diseases and, hence, early warning of a change in the health status of any livestock population. Epidemiosurveillance should thus be the basis for developing strategies for the progressive control of transboundary animal diseases (i.e. epizootics) and should be an integral part of the national emergency preparedness against such diseases. This principle is especially promoted actively on an international level through the FAO priority programme, EMPRES (Emergency Prevention System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases).
These preliminary considerations are well-known to all the actors participating in the development of animal husbandry and the protection of cattle and public health, as well known as the tremendous stakes presented by animal production. Their economic importance within the agricultural production of African countries is already quite large, but will expand with the demographic growth, urbanisation and the increasing demand for animal protein. A factor of sustainability in the agricultural system by the income it engenders and the role it plays in the management of natural resources, animal production will have to alleviate poverty, ensure the cities' supply and play its part as the economic mainspring.
In this context, cattle as a production tool for national requirements and a source of currency in export, should be protected against epizootic diseases. Numerous actions are taken to control epizootic diseases and particularly to improve our knowledge of national epidemiological situations, and to organise this surveillance is one of the priorities of the State and its Veterinary Services.
The part played by the private actors at the production level, by husbandry or trade services, but also in veterinary health surveillance, is equally important. The international community has taken steps to enable the development of trade in animals and animal products, at the same time protecting the importing countries from the introduction of epizootic diseases.
The Office International des Epizooties (OIE) has been designated by the World Trade Organization as the international scientific reference organisation in the implementation of zoosanitary regulations relating to international trade in live animals and products of animal origin. This organisation considers that the zoosanitary information, based on epidemiological surveillance and a system of reliable data collection and analysis, has become an essential part of risk analysis and risk management related to this international trade. The OIE strives together with African countries and their regional organisations, particularly the OAU-IBAR, several international organisations – in particular the FAO and the European Commission, which greatly support the PACE (Panafrican Control of Epizootics) programme of the OAU-IBAR – and multilateral cooperations, such as the World Bank, and bilateral cooperations, including France, for more efficient national and regional epidemiological systems.
The representatives of the Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources of the Organisation for African Unity (OAU-IBAR) and the Conference of Agriculture Ministers of West and Central African Countries (CMA-AOC), the main regional organisations representing African countries in animal husbandry matters, met on 28 February 2000, under the aegis of the Office International des Epizooties. Representatives of countries involved in aid for the development of animal production and international organisations that play an important role in epidemiological surveillance and prophylaxis of epizootic diseases in Africa, also participated in this meeting.
At the close of the meeting, the signatories agreed on a common objective: to continue aid to the Veterinary Services of the Ministries in charge of animal husbandry in African countries, in order to develop more efficient national epidemiological surveillance systems that are better able to control epizootic diseases and deliver the most complete and reliable animal health information. The signatories indeed recognised that this information had become an essential requirement for the development of international trade in live animals and products of animal origin."

Hygiene is extremely important when it comes to feeding birds. Birds can spread diseases to each other, therefore keeping your feeders clean can help stop transmission! Making a habit of cleaning your feeders is good for the birds and feeding wild birds with confidence is good for your conscience.
Steps 1 & 2
1. Collect and empty all of your feeders, monthly. Lay them out in an area where they can be sprayed down with a hose. (Alternatively, you can clean your feeders inside, but because I have several large feeders I choose to make a mess outside.)
2. Allow your curious dog to snoop around and give her a good drink from the hose after you've sprayed down all of your feeders.
Steps 4 & 3 (Whoopsie)
3. & 4. Gather your cleaning equipment. I use vinegar (1/4 cup), dish soap (tablespoon/big squirt), and water. I mix it in a few squirt bottles and enlist the help of my family to get the job done. If you discover a sick bird, or notice mold/mildew build up on your feeders, use water and bleach at a 10:1 ratio.
Some feeders require a good soaking, others are more easily cleaned.
Steps 5 & 6
5. & 6. Soak and scrub your feeders until you have removed any caked on seeds, mold, or feathers.
I like to use a bottle brush and a toothbrush because they can really get those hard to reach places.
Steps 7 & 8
7. Spray the feeders until the water runs clean, and spray your helpers — perhaps let them spray you too.
8. Let your feeders dry completely before hanging them back up!
After they have dried, you're ready to refill!

The ophiuroid Ophionereis reticulata (Say, 1825) occurs in the sediment-rocky shore interface, under small stones. Its diet is analyzed in this short communication. Specimens were collected at the Praia Grande beach, located on the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in July, 2002 and January, 2003. The animals were fixed in 70% ethanol and dissected to obtain their stomach contents. Of the total (35), 77.1% (27) had ingested some kind of food and, among those, 81.4% (22) had more than one item. The mean number of food items per stomach was 1.9. Ophionereis reticulata is an omnivorous species, consuming sediment, green and red algae, and polychaetes.
Key words: Diet, omnivorous; ophiuroid.
O ofiuróide Ophionereis reticulata (Say, 1825) ocorre na interface sedimento rocha de costões rochosos, sob pequenas pedras. Alguns aspectos de sua dieta alimentar foram analisados nesta nota. A amostragem foi realizada na Praia Grande, localizada no litoral norte do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Os indivíduos, coletados em julho de 2002 e janeiro de 2003, foram fixados em álcool 70% e dissecados para obtenção de seus conteúdos estomacais. Do total (35), 77,1% (27) tinham ingerido algum tipo de alimento, e destes, 81,4% (22) possuíam mais de um item. O número médio de itens alimentares por estômago foi 1,9. Ophionereis reticulata é uma espécie onívora, consumindo sedimento, algas verdes e vermelhas, e poliquetas.
Palavras-chave: Dieta alimentar; ofiuróide; onívoro.
Ophiuroids have a wide variety of feeding strategies, including predation, deposit-feeding, and suspension-feeding. However, the diets of different species also vary as a result of differences in feeding mechanisms and life styles (PEARSON & GAGE 1984). Amphiurid species burrow underneath the sediment surface and form a semi-permanent mucous shelter, extending their arms over the surface to maintain local water current. As a consequence, they obtain food from the sediment surface and its different layers and from the water column (WOODLEY 1975). Despite its importance, there are few studies to date on ophiuroid dietary analysis. JONES & SMALDON (1989), analyzing the stomach contents of Amphipholis squamata (Delle Chiaje, 1828), recorded the presence of algae, fragments of small crustaceans and arms of Amphipholis Ljungman, 1867. PEARSON & GAGE (1984) studied the diets of Ophiacantha bidentata (Rezius, 1805), Ophiactis abyssicola (M. Sars, 1861), Ophiocten gracilis (G.O. Sars, 1871), Ophiura irrorata (Mortensen, 1933), and Ophiomusium lymani (Wyville Thompson, 1873), and observed a wide variety of food items and many similarities among their diets. The diet of Ophiospartes gigas was also extremely diverse, with 15 different taxa being used as energy sources (DEARBORN et al. 1996). The diet of the reticulated brittle star, Ophionereis reticulata (Say, 1825), is presently thought to be based solely on green algae and diatoms (HENDLER et al. 1995). In this short communication, we present new information about the diet of O. reticulata.
Individuals of O. reticulata were collected in June, 2002 and January, 2003 on the Praia Grande beach (23°49'20"S, 45°25'05"W), located in the São Sebastião Channel on the northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The rocky shore is exposed to wave action and is composed of small and medium boulders. This intertidal region extends for approximately 40 m perpendicularly to the water line. The zone of occurrence of O. reticulata is only exposed during low tide. The specimens were manually collected, fixed in 70% ethanol, and later dissected for analysis of stomach contents with the use of a stereoscopic microscope.
A total of 35 stomachs (15 in the summer and 20 in the winter) were examined. The disc diameters of the animals varied between 5.2 and 9.5 mm, with a mean of 7.3 mm. Of all the stomachs analyzed, 77.1% (27) contained some kind of food and, of these, 81.4% (22) contained more than one food item. The mean number of food items per individual was 1.9 (Tab. I). There was a slightly higher frequency of individuals with some food in their stomachs in the winter (80%) than in the summer (73.3%). The most important identified food items were sediment, green and red algae, and polychaete fragments (Tab. II). The stomachs in the winter contained larger numbers and more diverse items than in the summer. In the summer, the individuals consumed more items of plant origin. The winter diet was more diverse, with the consumption of more animal food items; however, the frequency of sediment and algae remained high.
New items were observed for the diet of O. reticulata, showing that this ophiuroid is an omnivorous species. It feeds mainly on algae but being also capable of consuming animal prey such as crustaceans, polychaetes, and even ophiuroids. Similar dietary diversity is consistently observed in other species (PEARSON & GAGE 1984).
A single cannibalism event was observed during this study. Further, six ophiuroid species were observed in stomachs of O. gigas. Other, similar records exist for Ophiacantha bidentata, Ophiactis abyssicola, Ophiocten gracilis, Ophiura irrorata, and Ophiomusium lymani (PEARSON & GAGE 1984).
The actual importance of the sediment and the flocculent material present in the stomachs of O. reticulata is yet unknown. Bacteria and organic detrital particles are carbon sources for many benthic invertebrates (WARNER 1982, DEARBORN et al. 1996). Therefore, and as stated by DEARBORN et al. (1996), we cannot discard the possibility that the sediment may act as an energy resource or even have a mechanical function during the digestive process.
PEARSON & GAGE (1984) observed a reduction in the number of stomachs with food coinciding with an increase in mean gonad size for O. gracilis. According to that authors, the species must feed during spring to accumulate enough energy in order to reproduce and maintain somatic growth. For O. reticulata, there was a pronounced decrease in the frequency of stomachs with food during summer; moreover, the highest quantity and diversity of items were found in winter. Analysis of the gonadal maturation of the species revealed a low gametogenic activity during the colder months. Although no empirical measures were made, stomachs in this season were visually smaller than those in the reproductive period (summer). Individuals must use other resources with a higher energy content to accumulate reserves for the next reproductive season. Higher temperatures in the summer may favor the elevation of the metabolic and growth rates in some macroalgae. However, the growth of many tropical species is not limited by temperature. Perhaps the seasonal temperature variation may indirectly influence other factors, such as inorganic nutrient reposition (STIMSON et al. 1996) or even reduce the growth of algae, especially in winter, leaving a small quantity of resources available and refuges for other organisms, becoming more exposed to predation. STIMSON et al. (1996) also stated that wave action during colder periods may remove the algae from the intertidal region, but this do not seem to be a main factor for the present sampled region, given that it has a well protected area against wave action.
Some ophiuroid species prey on small organisms; however, most spend large amounts of time feeding on detritus and any organic material they find (FELL 1966). The probability that O. reticulata acts as an active predator is low, even though it consumes items such as polychaetes and crustaceans. It is obvious that the sediment may function as an energy source, since it was present in all the analyzed stomachs. However, as mentioned before, the sediment may have some mechanical action during digestion.
In conclusion, O. reticulata can be considered an omnivorous species that constantly consumes food of plant origin. It is not possible to discard the possibility that it is a deposit feeder, because the state of the food prior to its ingestion is unknown. A longer, monthly study of stomach contents is necessary to fully understand the diet of this species.

Here's the deal. I'm not really supposed to be talking about Amplitude. I saw things at a closed doors session at PSX 2015 that I'm not allowed to reveal until we actually review the game.
But if I were to keep quiet, how would I be able to let you know about the awesome soundtrack that was created as a concept album? How would I be able to tell you that the songs in Amplitude actually tell a story across the length of the campaign? I wouldn't be able to let you know that the songs strike the perfect balance between being catchy, yet still don't get annoying after repeated plays of the same level.
I couldn't tell you about the relatively cunning simplicity of the controls, making them easy to grasp at lower difficulties, but tough to keep up with at higher ones. How would I tell you about how I embarrassed myself in front of the Harmonix team by cranking up the difficulty higher than what I could manage, yet felt happy that this was a challenging game that couldn't be easily mastered within minutes of sitting down with a controller in hand (unless, of course, you are our sister site Game Revolution's resident ninja, Nick Tan)?
I wouldn't be able to let you know about the passion of the developers, most of which actually worked on the original Amplitude, and are creating this one as a true evolution of the original product and lessons learned over the years as they've developed other games since its release. I couldn't tell you about how each of them lights up whenever they talk about Amplitude, excited to show off the game and explain its intricacies to just one more person. How could I tell you about how they grooved along with each song that played, never getting sick of the music that they've been listening too since it was developed for the game?
How could I purposefully be vague enough to not break any embargoes, yet still let you know just how awesome the return of Amplitude is shaping up to be?
The truth is, I couldn't, at least not entirely. Maybe this is my non-preview preview, as I dance around the things that I can and can't talk about in Amplitude. It's not long now. Backers will shortly have Amplitude codes in their possession (with a general release not long after that) and then the world will know, and I can finally tell you even more about the great things that Hamronix is doing with Amplitude.
But until then? I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Do glimmers of improvement in one of the country's most depressed real estate markets suggest something larger – that a long-term economic rebound may be getting underway?
Though it's far too early to make bold predictions about the Motor City – where unemployment topped 14 percent three years ago – you can't deny that something is stirring in the real estate sector:
--Home prices have stabilized by some measures and are on the upswing according to others. In Realtor.com's latest monthly price and inventory study, based on data from hundreds of Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) across the country, Detroit emerges as a surprise bright spot, with average listing prices in April up more than 5 percent compared with the month earlier and 7.6 percent compared with the year before. Median prices rose 4.7 percent between March and April, the fastest month-to-month rate of gain among the 146 largest metropolitan markets surveyed by Realtor.com. In fact, prices in Detroit have now gained every month since last December. Nonetheless, the city's median list price of $89,900 ranks it the lowest-cost large urban market in the U.S
--Continuing affordable home prices, combined with low mortgage rates, are steadily reducing the glut of houses sitting for sale in Detroit – and represent a key factor pushing prices up. The total inventory of homes for sale has plunged 25 percent in the past 12 months, and the median "age" – the time the inventory has been sitting on the market – has shrunk to just 48 days, ranking it 8th among the 146 markets. In terms of inventory age, Detroit now ranks with economically robust cities like Washington D.C., Seattle and San Jose.
So what's stirring in Detroit to produce such hints of a budding recovery? Number one, there's been a steady decline in the metropolitan unemployment rate, which dropped to 8.7 percent in April from 11.1 percent the year before, according to the US. Bureau of Labor Statistics – the largest decrease among the largest US. markets. A major factor here, of course, has been the rise from near-death bankruptcy at General Motors and the continuing rapid growth at Ford. Both companies not only are major direct employers but also are employment creators at hundreds of manufacturing and service companies whose jobs are tied to the health of the big automakers.
It may also be a reflection of another effort that doesn't draw a lot of attention outside Detroit: A group of private investors and business community leaders have been having significant success transforming downtown areas of the city into a new hub for Web-based and information technology start-ups – a project that goes by the names "Detroit 2.0" and "brain gain." Dozens of commercial buildings in sections of the center city that once were on the brink of economic collapse now house start-ups and established Internet firms. Quicken Loans, for example, has moved its headquarters and what it claims to be more than 4,000 jobs to the center city. Venture capitalists are actively recruiting IT professionals in Silicon Valley to come to work in downtown Detroit, and reportedly having some success.
None of this guarantees that hard-hit Detroit will be the urban comeback kid market of the next 10 or 15 years. But the signs of activity now visible in the real estate market do suggest there are some real potentials here – and probably some serious opportunities.

Several muscles are involved in moving the forearm and hand, but none of them specifically supinate the hand and flex the forearm. The brachoradialis muscle comes closest to this, as it is able to flex, semi-supinate and semi-pronate the forearm. The hand is supinated by the supinator muscle.
Several muscles are able to flex the forearm, either as their primary function or as an effect of their work on the upper arm. These flexor muscles are the biceps brachii, the brachialis, the brachoradialis and the pronator teres. The hand is supinated only by the supinator muscle, which is attached to the wrist and elbow.

Bringing together two legendary wordsmiths such as Talib Kweli and Styles P is never a bad result. Today the two New York City natives are back, this time around with a brand new track called "Last Ones." The track finds the fellas giving us a dose of their upcoming joint album, The Seven, and they don't fall short in the process. The new cut, "Last Ones" is pushed by some snappy drum work and some infectious melodic elements that makes quite the home for the two to do their thing.
Speaking on the new project, Talib stated "As hip-hop grows to the point where many rappers have become caricatures of themselves, myself and Styles P remain a part of a group of MCs that still consider the culture in every decision we make" adding "[We are] the last ones left." Check out the new track in the stream below an dspeak your thoughts on it after the jump. Stay tuned for much more from Talib Kweli and Styles P coming very soon!

Welcome to our home! Ten years ago a small extraordinarily dated rancher came in the marketplace within the neighborhood we dreamed of moving into. It was the same neighborhood my husband grew up in years earlier than. I called our realtor and made an appointment straight away to go test it out. As soon as I pulled within the driveway I may see the potential. My husband, effectively, he needed a little more convincing. After a little begging and pleading he agreed it might be a very good transfer and right here we are.
Set off early from Macha in the direction of Potosi, however with a stop off at the Scorching Springs in Tarapaya to loosen up in any case the extraordinary partying! It was a nicely-kept secret for a few years. Few tourist ever knew of it whereas visiting Hawaii unless they'd rented a automotive. It's off the beaten path where the tour buses didn't venture prior to now. Such a pleasant trip. Thanks a lot James. The photographs and the tour was superior. Highway trip! The unique site grew so massive that I was pressured to interrupt the tour into 6 segments to make it simpler to view.
Excursions depart promptly from the Stone Firm Store – Escondido and latecomers is probably not admitted. For those who plan on dining on the Bistro , we highly recommend doing so after your tour. U.S. Coast Guard – Seattle,WA – American300 presents 'Any Given Sunday' that includes NFL Super Bowl Champion Bear Pascoe this week. The 5 different locations to visit on the Romero tour are extra background interest, and could be visited in case you have ample time.
This bold challenge took 10 years. Rapid City is the now the one location on the earth the place all the U.S. Presidents may be seen in life-sized bronze statues. It demands that you just come see for your self. Later this church was given up for the Jesuit Church. On the copper engraving of Martin Martini you can too see, that courtyard was open to the south at the moment. There has been a rise in the variety of Individuals touring abroad – especially ladies touring alone both for enterprise or pleasure. When the fish had been operating and the taro and the breadfruit were plentiful; we have been joyful. We did not ask for a lot and we did not need a lot. Life was a lot less complicated again then. I go to a blackhat search engine optimization forum and trust me. Pretend Monster Beat are a dime dozen. Very simple to get.
Except for the numerous picturesque views, there are also various different activities. You'll be able to choose to have boating, rafting, and camping. You too can have helicopter and airplane rides so you can have aerial views of the panorama. Cumberland Cemetery is a walk by means of the previous, a historical past lesson and a study of Victorian structure. The leaf wreath remains to be going robust! It is a bit more delicate than anticipated. And crumbly. We are engaged on it.
Darker variations of her demise are theories that the married physician with whom she was having a torrid affair staged the suicide after an unsuccessful abortion try to rid himself of the proof of his adultery. He and Pele were at odds from the start; she lined the land with barren lava, he introduced torrents of rain to extinguish her fires and known as the wild boars to dig up the land, softening it so seeds might grow. Thanks bdegiulio, I admire your feedback and good needs. RI is small, like my present state of DE, but it surely's coastal space is a jewel. Baixa-Chiado is likely one of the predominant Lisbon metro stop (Blue line with Green line) and has two exits. Our exit is the Chiado one, The highest. We will be ready for you in entrance of Luís de Camões Statue.
Very useful information! It's good to take in consideration the climate when one travels to a foreign place. A group motion urges preservation of Hawaiian sites, native species, ocean access and open areas, forward of a big population development expected in Ka`u, along the southernmost shore of the 50 United States. There are only a few floating lighthouses left and the ones that remain for probably the most half are actually museums.

This post has been in writing ever since I came to UK, got my own bank account, set up a direct debit and used my card for online subscription payments. Mind you, it has been a very unnerving experience since even after 6 months here, I am surprised when:
- a transaction occurs 2 to 3 days before the given date of a charge
- there is no acknowledgement or receipt sent by the company that has charged you a fee (which they will days before it is set to renew)
My 1st problem with banks and companies here in the UK is their understanding of dates. Mind you, it is understandable from a system's perspective when a direct debit or standing order is executed the minute the clock becomes 12:00 am on the said date however, 2 days or 3 days before the date? REALLY? Is there someone actually processing the payments manually and taking the money on a horse cart to be delivered on time to the company? Wait…that is how people in 1st world countries think that banks operate in 3rd world countries. Well, let me set the record straight, if a transaction is set to occur on a date, then it does on that date. Not after and certainly not before. If it did, there would be riots.
Exhibition A: A direct debit is set for the 26th of the month. Now the 26th happens to fall on a Monday, so does the transaction occurs on the eve of Monday morning at 12:00 am? No. It occurs sometime on the eve of Saturday morning (friday night) 2 days before. And this hasn't happened only when the weekend came between, this happens every other time. I do think I understand how the British devised this though, someone decided it was a good idea to calculate 30 days into the system so the date shifts by 2 or 3 days every time Feb comes and a day or two when Jul/Aug come. If this is true then believe me, no one does it this way. Just stick to dates and leave the calculations elsewhere. Your fragile banking system won't collapse over keeping money more or less than 30 days.
Exhibition B: A free trial membership that starts on the 20th is supposed to be charged on the 20th or 19th of the month. Just in case you think it is safe to cancel it on the 19th think again, it has already charged your card on the 17th and there are no refunds. There is also no email or notification from the bank that you were charged or the website. Serves the free loaders right doesn't it? Wrong. I call, complaint and write about it. Now I know when online reputation management exists; it is to curb such practices. I still sign up for free trials and if it is a UK based company, I setup a reminder to cancel my trial 3 days before. It doesn't always work since this month alone, I got charged 2 days before the subscription was to end; luckily I got my refund. Phew.
Coming to my 2nd biggest problem with banks & companies here is their utter disregard for meaningful communication or lets state the obvious: customer service. To state an example, back in March 2012, I received an email from LinkedIn to try Job Seeker Premium, I gave my card details and before I could cancel it, I had been charged. The worst part was the surprise, since LinkedIn had never sent me a receipt for the payment at any point. Not when I signed up for the trial and certainly not when they charged me for it in April. All I have is an email stating "Welcome to Job Seeker Premium" and a few links on how I could use the extra features. This is actually the worst case scenario for any online merchant since they failed to acknowledge and give a receipt of charging my card at every juncture. Imagine how much fraud can go unnoticed with this.
I do not have unrealistic expectations from systems, since I can see a number of notifications fromPaypaland every non UK based online company who always send a receipt even when payments are for a subscription (imagine that). It doesn't hurt anyone,at leastnot since Gmail gave away storage to everyone and all the other email service providers had to cough up the space or lose out entirely.
Before moving here, I asked someone which bank is the best here (UK). I still remember his response, a pitying smile followed by the words "There is no concept of a good bank in UK, the only thing that you can measure is their online/self service banking facility." Golden words and so true.

All Finn wanted for Christmas Dinner was a heaping portion of home-made macaroni and cheese. I couldn't think of anything less suited to a holiday feast than a BBQ mainstay, but who am I to deny such pasta passion? Rather than object or redirect, I justified that cheesy dish by wholeheartedly embracing a brand new holiday theme!
A Southern Comfort Christmas
Pimento Cheese and Crackers
Spiced Pecans
Classic Deviled Eggs
Old Bay Shrimp Cocktail
Mel's Honey Drizzled Fried Chicken
Amy Inspired Skillet Cornbread Stuffed Pork with Cinnamon BBQ Sauce
Finn's Baked Mac N' Cheese
Nan's Braised Collard Greens
Green and Wax Beans with Garlic, Chilies and Lemon
Blackeyed Pea Salad
Amy's Cherry Pie a la Mode
It turned out to be a feast to remember! I am not sure if I could turn my back on a Southern inspired Christmas theme ever again. Of course, I may not be the best person to ask because I would take a piece of fried chicken over a slab of prime rib any day.
This was our third year sharing Christmas night with our dear friends Aim, Graham and their girls. We were lucky to have Amy's parents join in this year as well; were learned that adding a clown-kissing, Harley loving lady to mix only makes a holiday better!
Our annual gift exchange was a hit again this year and mustache-loving Sophie absolutely nailed her gift to Leif. Leopard print glasses with a handlebar mustache attachment and an does of instant Irish accent...perfection in a present!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Caribbean urged to take up "fertile" lands in Guyana, Suriname to produce healthy foods
- Written by wiredJa News
- Published in Agriculture
- 0 comments
"I challenge all in agriculture to pursue means of developing agricultural opportunities in Guyana and Suriname where there is readily available fertile land to grow and produce healthy local food," Cassell told the opening of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture (CWA) being co-sponsored by the Barbados government and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation, a joint international institution of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the European Union (EU).
He cited the need for Guyana and Suriname to become the "Caribbean NCD prevention food baskets of the Caribbean".
Barbadian, Sir Kyffin Simpson, several years ago began planting a variety of crops at Santa Fe farm in southern Guyana. The majority of the produce is said to be exported to neighbouring Brazil.
With an estimated 60 percent of health budgets in the Caribbean being spent on treating heart ailments, diabetes and hypertension, Sir Trevor recommended the "significant participation of the agricultural community" in NCD inter-ministerial committees and commissions.
"These platforms have the potential to provide opportunity for the agriculture sector to partner with the public and private sectors, and with civil society in a "whole of society" effort to strengthen agriculture for a healthier region," he added.
The President of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition said Caribbean stakeholders need to pay closer attention to the link between climate change, agriculture and NCD prevention in the creation of a healthier future.
Making a pitch for agriculture to be seen as having a unique and critical role in improving the nutritional status, he cited the need for a regional or national food system sensitive to nutritional outcomes. Caribbean governments, he said, must "develop and implement a comprehensive range of well-targeted policy actions" to foster nutritious, health diets backed by solid health-friendly policies.
The Healthy Caribbean Coalition noted that of the 120,000 Barbadians 20 years and older, 90,000 are overweight or obese, 38,000 suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure, 19,000 are diabetic and at least on person suffers from a stroke or heart attack every day. He said three years ago, Barbados spent BDS$64 million on treating cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. and the Barbadian economy was estimated to be losing BDS$145 million annually to missed work days low productivity a d reduced workforce participation.
NCD's, he also said, also cost Jamaica approximately Jamaica approximately US$17.2 billion over the next 15 years which equates to 18 times Jamaica's health expenditure in 2013.

Stability Testing of Biological Products: 9 Challenges
List Apr 15, 2019
The efficacy and safety of a biopharmaceutical product depends on the product's ability to maintain its molecular confirmation.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
—Galatians 5:22-23
If I could look inside your heart, would I find?
Would there be love?
Would there be joy?
Would I find peace there?
Would patience and kindness be evident?
Would I see goodness?
Would there be faithfulness?
Would I find gentleness?
Would self-control be there?
These are the fruits—the things that grow out of—the Spirit within us.
If I looked into my own heart, what would I see?

8.50am came. We were registered. We were wearing waterproof tops - the incoming rain was due any minute. Sure enough, 8.57am as the race organisers started counting us into the start area on the road it started to rain. And rain it did. In biblical proportions. I was soaked through pretty much before we started, and on the 3rd re-count was starting to get cold. Not the best start.
Finally we were off, running up out of the the village of Heskett-Newmarket and down a tiny tarmac road for about a mile, then across fields and finally into open moorland. And here's where the fun really started.
My head had gone from....'this'll be a lovely long day in the hills' to 'OMG how steep is that hill' and 'this rough grass is horrendous to run on' - well not run, just walk and hop a bit, and 'will it ever stop raining'. I think my winge-meter was on super drive for which I apologised many times to El and Al. The weather was grim - thankfully not very much wind but raining and soaking underfoot. Not just wet, but sloshing puddles and rivers everywhere. I have never known the ground to be so wet except for in a river!
This race had partially enticed me because there was beer involved. I joke that one of the reasons I run is to drink beer (other reasons include chips and cake!). So with 4 beers being provided a'top 4 of the local hills (all named after said hills) by the brewery in Heskett-Newmarket - who wouldn't want to have a lovely day in the hills with a snifter of beer here and there?!
Well, to get to the first beer you needed to get 6km from the start and climb about 450m. Slurp...'Carrock' went down nicely if a little odd at not too long after 10am!! Al's navigation was tremendous, getting us safely down a steep but rock and scree-free line from Round Knott to the river crossing at Mosedale. The River Caldew was in good flow with all the rain we'd had and the marshals informed us that the suggested route followed the path up the valley to a footbridge, though some had chosen the river crossing to give a more direct and much shorter line up onto the traverse below Bowscale Fell.
We chose the river crossing - it was going to be slow up the valley anyway so we may as well take the direct steeper line. Arm in arm we crossed the river. This wasn't one to cross solo as it was knee deep with hidden rocks and moving swiftly. I was thankful to be the middle person!!
Next came the climb towards our second main summit - Blencathra. Visibility was still not great - 50m sometimes more, sometimes less. Runners were spread out on various lines but each tracking vaguely in the same direction. The ground was soaked. There were very few faint trods to follow and it was still raining. I was still not having fun. It was also really obvious to me that my companions were a lot stronger and could move a lot quicker than me.
I have always said this would be a lovely day in the hills....but today was not lovely. I was soaked, in need of the loo but nowhere to hide, probably ate too much at breakfast, head now spiralling negatively as my body cursed the rough ground and steep climb. Although Al was doing the navigation for us I was keeping a check on the route on the 1:50k map we'd been given. O.M.G. Blencathra was still a loooong way away and a lonnnnnng way up to go.
I hated myself for having such a negative outlook but couldn't snap out of it. We were hanging in roughly last place, which although it didn't bother me, we were only a third of the way round and I knew I couldn't go faster. Checking the map I could see a point ahead I could bail out. There's a path before Blencathra that cuts under Bannerdale Crags and down to Scales on the main road. Or I could go up Blencathra, have the beer there then peel along the ridge line and again pick up the path down to Scales.
I must have talked myself into and out of bailing at both these points a dozen times. Each time weighing up the pros and cons of my first DNF. I felt really ambivalent about DNFing a race. I wasn't really bothered. But the more I thought of pulling out the more I wanted to finish the whole route. The feeling to have finished the race, in those conditions, with good friends, would have been brilliant. I didn't want to miss out on that feeling and be the one wondering if I could have gone on, should have gone on. Self-doubt is a worrisome curse.
I decided to push on to Blencathra - much to the delight of my companions. I again voiced my thoughts that 'I'll be really slow' to their protests of it not mattering. I tried to calculate overall duration we'd be out if I continued at my snails pace. It was going to be long.
So, with a massive 'shut up head' talk to myself I vowed to get up Blencathra, and silently voiced to myself that perhaps the whole route was possible.
On top of Blencathra the delightful beer in a box was located. It was here I realised my hands were getting cold. Like really cold. Up to know I'd been joyous in the knowledge that although it was chucking it down most of the time we'd been out (and now thankfully the rain eased off as we approached the summit of this 868m high mountain) my hands were warm. It wasn't a particularly cold day despite the rain so the sudden realisation my hands were going numb was a bit scary. I fumbled to get my rucksack open then really struggled to pull on gloves, followed by waterproof over-mitts. I necked the beer - no points for classy drinking there for me - then we made our way back down the steep section of Blencathra before peeling left and towards Skiddaw House.
I had reckoned if I could reach the summit of Blencathra then Skiddaw House (a hostel) was a point of safety - an actual building where I could warm up, sit and drink the soup the organisers were providing and take real stock on what I was doing. It was mostly downhill too. El and Al were literally skipping down the hill making it look effortless but my body just wasn't playing happy. There was a path but it was still rough and rocky in places - and here I slowed to a walk. Before too long they were waiting for me much lower down. I felt bad holding them up. I tried to make them go on ahead and keep pushing but they insisted on staying with me.
After a short uphill section we reached Skiddaw House. I was feeling kind of alright and ready for a mental battle to push to the end. So, after a quick 10min stop for soup and a brew we pulled on rucksacks and started the climb up to Skiddaw.
|Me and Eleanor at Skiddaw House
There was nearly 500m to climb before we'd top out on Skiddaw at 931m - the 6th highest mountain in England. Al decided that he needed to warm up so did some running up this section. I could barely keep walking so to run was just damned impressive! Although slow, I was moving and that's all that mattered. Left-right-left-right - continuous forward progression and I knew I'd reach the top. I did feel quite drained though, energy diverted to digesting the cheese sarnie and bar I'd eaten back at the hostel perhaps.
|Skiddaw House below us by the trees as we make progress up to Skiddaw summit
|Celebrating no rain and a great view!!
|Alasdair and Eleanor in the final push up to Skiddaw summit at 931m
After about 45mins we reached the glorious summit and our third swig of beer. The weather was being kind to us, views down to Derwentwater next to Keswick and far beyond with dramatic clouds billowing in the sky. This was why I came into the hills - to see them and appreciate their beauty. Such a shame we'd had a deluge for the first 3 hours of our outing.
|Cheers from the summit of Skiddaw
By now we'd been on the go 3.5-4 hours. At the start of the descent off Skiddaw I could feel my knees weren't happy. I've had a recurring 'thing' in my knees and have been working on strength training to reduce this occurring, but here it was again. Once again El and Al seemed to float down the lovely grassy descent and I was left wincing in pain hardly able to walk. Bugger. This was not good. With some serious head chatter I kept saying it wasn't happening, surely I could just run a bit more. I tried to run, I put in some pace to see how it was going faster than I normally do but OUCH, it Hurt. So, a slow steady walk was commenced (progress however slow is still progress and sitting down and crying wouldn't get me anywhere!) until I caught up to my patiently waiting friends a few hundred metres below.
This time when I said they should push on they must have sensed I actually meant it, and that I actually wouldn't be able to finish the route in anything short of a stupidly long and very slow time. If all I could do was walk up and now walk down we'd be out quite a few more long hours. There was about another 10 miles to go. The safest thing for me was to return to Skiddaw House and descend to Threlkeld. That was the safer decision for them too, otherwise they run the risk of getting cold waiting for me.
|Clouds gathering once more, rain definitely on the way again
So, with a sad heart seeing my friends carry on I was resolved to getting off the hill without doing myself any serious damage. The weather was OK for now, but gathering clouds on the next summit (Great Calva) was promising more rain. It wasn't fair - or safe - for me to attempt to continue. I really really did want to though.
With a bit of heather bashing and a jump over a thankfully narrow river crossing I picked up the track to Skiddaw House. I reported to the marshals that I'd pulled out and had arranged a lift back from the main road back to Heskett-Newmarket. Thankfully I'd managed to contact Tim who had indeed got himself up the hill for a decent wander - he was going to drive round and pick me up from the Blencathra Centre.
Looking at the map, at the point where I pulled out I probably had a good 6km to walk to the road. I had a few short slow runs but each time there was a bit of slight descent my knees grumbled and slowed me to a walk. 3 months since I ran the London Marathon and with very little specific hill training this DNF wasn't a great surprise, but still a disappointment. I know the weather gave me a massive dose of demoralisation but ultimately my body just wasn't ready for the distance of this race in combination with the rough terrain in the first half and the apocalyptic weather.
|Looking back up to Skiddaw House as I descended off the escape route to the Blencathra Centre
I owe great thanks to Eleanor and Alasdair for the support they gave me on the 24km of the race I did with them. Massive kudos to Eleanor for completing the race - her longest every run by some considerable distance. I am immensely proud of her. Al is an old hat at long arduous challenges, and his experience in the hills was very much welcomed in the tough conditions. Knowing he had the navigation nailed took the pressure off and stress out of the day.
Thank you to the race organisers and those wonderful marshals out on the hills - I really do mean it when I say thank you to each and every one of you. I am grateful that you chose to stand out on the hill for us on top of a mountain - it's no easy job, especially in such wild places. Thank you to the lovely ladies providing refreshments at Skiddaw House. Thank you to the brewery in Heskett-Newmarket for the delightful beer and the landlord at the Old Crown for the hospitality before and after the race. The few beers I had in the pub once I got back were delightful. Finally, thank you to Tim for his amazing support, driving round to pick me up and his beaming face of pride knowing I did the best I could do on the day.
The hills and mountains will be there another day.
I'd like to come back and finish this one.

Doubt: A Parable, by John Patrick Shanley
I have some doubts
Saturday, June 18, 2011
I had such high hopes for this show. I love the play, and I love how the author doesn't give his opinion on the guilt or not of the father. It is left up to the audience to form their own opinion. I don't believe that was true in this version. The actors told us how to feel, and what to feel. I didn't get to watch the play and form my own opinion.
The set was simple, which was nice, but in a way to much, there was a chalkboard that was never used, and it took up a good amount of space.
Another thing that I found odd, was the fact that all the actors were on stage until they left the stage for the last time. Mrs. Muller, who wasn't even in the first act came out and sat next the audience for the entire first act.
The directing was interesting. There was a good amount of upstaging. Each character had "their" space, that was designated in the beginning. But, then those spaces become blurry and doors were created where doors had never been. Just a little strange.
The play had been open for a week, and some of the actors were still struggling with their lines. I am not talking stumbles, those happen, but can't remember their lines. I had expected more, especially since it was in their second week, and they had had a show the previous night.
A nun takes a vow, and gives up such luxuries as make-up. Sister James had a large amount of make up on, and I don't think she understood her place as a nun, who was talking with her Superior. She stomped her foot and yelled at Sister Aloysius, that would never happen. Not back in 1964 and certainly not to Sister Aloysius. Also Mrs. Muller, would not have spoken to Sister Aloysius that way. She lives in fear. Fear of so many things, but, the one thing she is sure of, is that her son can't go back to public school. She would not raise her voice to Sister Aloysius. Of course this is only my opinion.
I was just so disappointed in the show. If you can't do an accent, don't do it. But also be very aware of your own personal dialect, and if your character is not supposed to be Southern, then you have to curb your southern accent.

Sitol needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Above Beach Cottages
Holiday Cottage rentals in south west England
Redesign the six buttons on our home page. This is an iteration from a front page redesign last year. Size and categories are staying the same and we want to have real images of cottages or buildings in the design again, not cartoons or graphics. Make sure the image used in sleeps 1-4 is one of our cottages that sleeps 4 and the sleeps 5+ is a larger cottage.
I want to make the whole thing look cleaner as well as brighter/sunnier/happier. Call to action button could be a bit more web 2.0- maybe orange like the 'check availability & prices' button on the cottage details. I think you should be able to get any image you might want from the site http://www.abovebeachcottages.co.uk but let me know if you want something else or it's fine if you can find something to use that's not copyrighted.
Although I have given a specific brief I don't mind if you want to step outside and offer something different but I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick close to the specs given.
Our customers are often not tech savvy and many have small old screens etc.
We manage and edit the site ourselves through a CMS but I'm not a web designer or used to managing anything design related so bear with me and any input gratefully received.
Having seen the first entries can I add that the Porthleven button should definitely include the clocktower as it's the symbol of the town. I like buttons that seem to stick out with a bit of 3D effect.
Don't use images from Camellia Cottage as it's a bit out of the main area we focus on and may not stay with us

We went to see A Man for All Seasons with Martin Shaw last night with my parents, who are visiting from the U.S. It was excellent. I only dimly remember the film and never saw it on stage before, but my father watched the play in the early 1960s, with Paul Scofield, and he enjoyed this production as well. If you get a chance, catch it before it closes on April 1st.
My favorite part of the play is when More defends the law against the ultimate in "the end justifies the means" arguments. The character Roper and More's daughter Alice beseech More to have his eventual betrayer arrested before he leaves the house, even if he has to make up some pretext. More argues that doing that would be a very bad idea:
Alice: While you talk, he's gone!
More: And go he should, if he was the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you - where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast - man's laws, not God's - and if you cut them down - and you're just the man to do it - d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
Roper's sentiment is as strong as ever. Terrorism, or whatever the evil du jour, may seem to justify sweeping away inconvenient laws, as long as it makes us safer. But it has the opposite effect in the long run.

Welcome to Handmade by Ellie. I specialise in making and designing bespoke handbags using quality fabrics; whether it's a large weekend bag, an everyday shoulder bag or an elegant evening clutch bag, there is something for every occasion. You can read about my latest news, creations and inspirations on my blog, and sign up for updates which will be emailed to you each time I post something new.
About me
I started sewing when I was young, inspired by one of the most creative ladies in the world, my Grandmother. I made my first bag, when I was 10, and after 12 years in the creative wilderness I was given what ranks as one of my four all time greatest presents – my sewing machine… and I haven't stopped sewing since. Once I'd made my first bag, I couldn't stop.
About the bags
I love making handbags and am passionate about creating quality items with gorgeous fabrics. The outer fabric of every bag is interlined with the best quality interlining, a layer of quilting fabric (or wadding), backed by cotton is then sewn in. There are four layers of fabric to the outer bag before the lining is added (for some designs the lining is also backed with interlining for extra strength). These extra layers give the bags that sumptuous quilted feel, as well as making them stronger than your average handbag, and help them retain their shape. All seams are either double or triple stitched, with an additional support seam, for extra strength.
I take real pride in creating quality handbags which last. A bag not only has to look great, but it has to feel special too. I enjoy working with different fabrics and love seeing what fabrics and patterns people decide on when choosing their custom-made bag. I take orders for bespoke handbags; prices vary depending on style, fabric choices and the time it takes to make them.
