Working with other people can be both fun and beneficial, from the welcome natter breaks to the sharing of knowledge and expertise. But sharing an office space isn't always fun, particularly when different people have such different thermal comfort zones.
You know the scenario; you're pretty comfortable at your desk, but Margaret in accounts is wearing her coat and shivering, while Steve in development is petitioning for a window to be opened. One's hot, one's cold, and nobody ends up happy.
The 'thermostat war' is a common theme in many shared office spaces, and can lead to energy wastage, unhappy employees and unnecessarily high fuel bills. One Italian architect thinks he's solved the problem, and he calls it 'Office 3.0'.
What is Office 3.0?
It's not a software programme, as you might rightly think. It's a way of embracing the 'Internet of Things' to deliver optimal thermal comfort to every person in the office, no matter what your personal preference.
Developed by Carlo Ratti, Office 3.0 is the first of hopefully many buildings to respond intelligently to human demands. His Turion office space, Headquarters for the Agnelli Foundation cultural institution in Turin, Italy, is designed to create a personalised 'environmental bubble, for each and every worker.
The system integrates heating, lighting and cooling, and delivers them personally to each worker in the space. It uses hundreds of WIFI enabled sensors to collect data that considers CO2 concentration, occupancy, temperature and status. By tailoring the delivery of these services to individuals and groups in the building, Ratti believes offices could reduce their energy consumption and improve the comfort for their staff.
What can you do to make your own office 3.0?
While we're waiting for this kind of thermal control to arrive in our own buildings, we'll need to think of other ways to improve our comfort and ensure everyone is happy in their workplace. Here are some ideas:
- Site desks away from radiators to allow better heat flow and avoid individuals overheating
- Make sure there is adequate ventilation without a draught being caused
- Use blinds to reduce the heat gain from the sun
- Use fans to cool small areas rather than opening windows
- Site workstations away from hot machinery such as photocopiers
- Insulate your building, hot water pipes and machinery
- Allow breaks and provide hot drinks and cold water
- Relax your dress code to allow people to dress for the weather
- Reduce clutter and paperwork which can stop airflow, using things like Triumph filing cabinets
Most office environments are relatively easy to maintain at a good temperature, but older buildings can be difficult to heat and cool. Keeping clutter to a minimum and keeping paperwork organised will help immensely, so invest in items like our Triumph filing cabinets so that your workplace is easier to manage.

Congressman Blake "Ducky Pajamas" Farenthold, who represents an area of Texas that runs from Bastrop to Corpus Christi, is the proud owner of Blow-Me.org, his spokesperson confirmed to Buzzfeed.
However, the Congressman is not planning to renew it, suggesting that the URL failed to meet Farenthold's expectations.
Farenthold was elected in 2010 in a Republican wave that took out long-time incumbent Democratic Rep. Solomon Ortiz. He has since managed to distinguish himself not only for his infamous duck pajamas, but also for telling veterans to make sacrifices before voting to cut their disability checks and bragging to his birther constituents that the House has the votes to impeach the President.
In an equally sad attempt at auto-fellatio, Farenthold also registered the URL "democratsforblake.com."
Buzzfeed also dug up this image of the website for Farenthold's former business, a "computer consulting firm specializing in helping professionals use technology to become more productive."
Well then.
Voters should rest assured that if they turn this embarrassment out of office in 2016, he will have a thriving tech company to return to, and plenty of web properties to develop.
Update: It has been pointed out that Texas's anti-sodomy statute is still on the books (despite being struck down by SCOTUS). Bad news for Blake, I guess.

yes !!! +1
That always makes me happy! And was drinking coffee while I read it:)
Let's hope the example of the hero cow inpires the Spaniards to add this simple rule:
if the bull kills the "torero" let him keep his life as a reward
The current practice is to send another until the bull is killed
I have been reading too much SciFi in my life
The first thing that came to mind when reading about the brain implant for memory was the book "Terminal Man" by Michael Crichton
There's another term for long fasts. It's called "starvation." For most people IF isn't a case of longer is better. There's definitely a point of diminishing returns.
The four year college with the traditional tools seems great, but I wish it had classes that weren't so euro-centric. Japanese carpentry, for instance, would be a great addition to their curriculum, and they could also benefit from adding woodworking classes that could lead into furniture making and things of that nature. It's a small school so hopefully as they grow they will think about adding classes like that for their students.
yes, got it, see my post about the forging of the katana 🙂
I was thinking, why not just join the Amish for a few years and learn even more.
Am I the only one finding a lot of treasure this week?
I like to work with my hands and this is really inspiring:
"This is awesome: A 4-year college dedicated to traditional trades using traditional tools."
I could retire now (I am sixty six) and I would really consider this degree. I imagine myself forging a real katana, or working many hours forging a tibetan bell …
I was most impressed by the oatmeal directions that said: "Stir sunwise."
Yep. Quite a ritual for cooking what I've always privately considered horse feed. I try not to be too judgmental. A lot of people swear by their a.m. bowl of oats, a few family members included.
Re "Awe breeds humility"–Consider this song written in 1885 (excerpted for space):
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
I live just outside of Charleston SC and this is the first I have heard of this school.
Love that cow!!
That'll do, cow. That'll do.
A link in the time capsule post on fasting is broken. Can you relinquish to it? "A recent report on 6 autoimmune case studies sounds quite promising."
Where was the ACBA when I was 18 and had no idea what I wanted to do? I was stuck at a desk job for a decade after college and miserable. Working outdoors with my hands seems to suit me a lot better.
I'm curious as to how much sulfuraphane would remain in chopped broccoli after 24 hours of refrigeration.
Also, how much sulfuraphane did Dana Carvey create on SNL by singing about chopping broccoli?

Iranian Deputy Oil Minister for International and Commercial Affairs Amir Hossein Zamaninia made the remarks in Tehran on Sunday on the sidelines of a meeting between Iran and Iraq's oil ministers.
Asked if the US would extend waivers on oil sanctions against Iran, he said, "I do not opine on this issue now but everyone knows that the oil market is not stable and static but it is very turbulent."
"It is the prices at US gas pumps that decide about extension or non-extension of these waivers," Zamaninia underlined.
The deadline for the US administration to decide whether to extend sanctions waivers granted to buyers of Iranian oil is now less than a month away, and President Donald Trump faces a tricky decision.
He undoubtedly wants to increase pressure on the Persian Gulf nation, but in doing so he risks stoking oil prices and with them those all-important gas prices in swing states back home.
Crude prices have risen nearly 50 percent since Christmas, with WTI popping above $62.50 a barrel last week for the first time in almost five months. Retail gasoline prices are on a tear, too. The latest data from the Department of Energy show gas prices up by 18 percent since late February, bringing them back to where they were this time last year.
The US squeeze on Iran nevertheless allowed some nations to purchase its oil, under a series of six-month-long waivers. These were granted to eight countries, including China, South Korea, Iran, Japan and Turkey, as the restrictions were imposed in November. An estimated 1.76 million barrels a day of crude and condensate left Iran for those five countries in March, up from 1.42 million in February.
Many in the market believe that Trump will extend waivers but if he doesn't, a price pop is expected.

It's another beautiful week and my last basket of January. I'm so excited for next month because the seasonal produce will be shifting to include asparagus! Not that this month wasn't great, but who doesn't love asparagus?
This week we got cauliflower, 2lbs of apples, spinach, cilantro, 1lb broccoli, tomatoes on the vine, three jalapeños, three limes, 3 avocados, 1lb of Brussels sprouts and a butternut squash.
I'm calling this week's bag the "salsa pack" because it included almost everything my husband uses to make his favorite green-but-not-green salsa. He gets the tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime plus one of the jumbo onions from last week. The trick to his salsa is so much cilantro that it looks more green than red and blending it until super smooth.
What are my plans for the rest? Glad you asked! That cauliflower gets to be a cauli mash side dish, the broccoli is going in crispy orange beef, the butternut will be both noodles and a butternut Lasagna for the toddlers, the Brussels will get roasted and served as a side, the avocados go in my lunch and possible with some tacos if they make it that far and last but not least the spinach and some of the apples go in my salad.
Here's what prep looked like this weekend:
I've got Spanish rice and sliced grapes for the toddlers in the bottom left. Diced mangos, sliced Brussels sprouts, cauliflower mash and butternut noodles for dinners in the bottom middle. Along the right side is a chicken teriyaki bowl (sauce separate) for the Husband. In the middle are my jar salads, chorizo egg muffins, and plain egg muffins as well as the orange sauce for dinner later in the week. Top is a huge butternut Lasagna for the toddlers (and probably the husband) to devour this week.
Heres a close up of my salad. This week I've got an orange vinaigrette, apples, tomatoes, bacon, chicken and spinach and I'll be topping the whole thing with half an avocado.
Meal prep makes me so happy! I would do it all the time if I could…

Many can be found in Thailand's own history, where 17 putsches took place between 1932 and the restoration of civilian rule in 1992.
Although Gen Sonthi and his military council have proposed a 12-month timetable for a return to a democracy, only time will tell if they stick to that commitment.
History, after all, presents many examples of military men who have found it hard to give up the power they seized.
In Pakistan, Gen Pervez Musharraf overthrew Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in 1999 and named himself president in 2001.
He was elected to a five-year term in 2002 but - despite international and domestic pressure - has reneged on a promise to relinquish his role as head of the army.
In Chile, Gen Augusto Pinochet seized power in 1973 and finally left office in 1990, after his surprise defeat in a 1988 plebiscite which he intended would grant him a further eight years in office.
For eight years after leaving power he remained commander-in-chief of the army, immune from prosecution or removal, and then became a senator-for-life.
Nigeria's former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida - who has said he will stand in next April's presidential elections - came to power in a 1985 coup and was only toppled in 1993 by mass protests.
Power as aphrodisiac
Richard Reeve, an Africa analyst at the London-based Chatham House think-tank, says the military leaders involved in coups often remain in charge far longer than they themselves initially envisaged.
"Very often they don't intend to stay in power when they seize power - it's that old 'power as an aphrodisiac' thing. Once you have it, it's hard to give up. There's also a fear of prosecution [if they leave power].
"It's very hard to go back to your previous life as a soldier, so you would be looking for a financial pay-off, an amnesty or to keep the power yourself."
The length of time a coup leader stays in power may also depend on the size of the force behind him, Mr Reeve says, with larger, more structured armies better equipped to take over the role of government.
"There's often a feeling that the military is a more permanent institution than the political institution," Mr Reeve said.
'Good of the nation'
Ronaldo Munck, a political sociology professor at Dublin City University, suggests a degree of self-delusion is central to the mindset of coup leaders.
In Latin America in the 1960s and early 1970s, military intervention was usually triggered by economic instability and some kind of political crisis, he says.
"The military came in as saviours of the situation - that's how they portrayed themselves anyway - and usually with the promise that democracy would be restored.
"They would see themselves as guardians of stability in the country above the political parties... If political parties mess around and don't govern, as they see it, they would intervene to run the country 'for the good of the nation'."
However, the tide turned in the 1980s, when Latin American governments agreed not to recognise leaders who came to power by military means.
Prof Munck puts this down to a growing appreciation that military regimes do not make good governments and are rarely sustainable long-term.
Wider forces
Faced with international pressure, many coup leaders have sought legitimacy by relinquishing their military role and standing in civilian elections.
In some cases, they are credited with bringing a new stability to their country's politics.
Mr Reeve cites Mali's President Amadou Toumani Toure, a general who overthrew a military dictator in 1991 and handed power to elected civilians the following year, as an example of a coup leader who gained "hero status" by living up to his promises.
He went on to win presidential elections in May 2002 and remains in power today.
As for Thailand, Prof Munck believes the longevity of the new military regime may be decided by the support the generals maintain from powerful business interests - and, of course, the country's much-revered king.
Fourteen years ago, it was King Bhumibol Adulyadej's intervention, following streets protests in which scores of people died, that spelled the end of coup leader General Suchinda Kraprayoon's rule.
"I wouldn't focus just on the military because they don't do these things alone," Prof Munck said.
"In Latin America it would always be powerful civilian groups that would go to the military and urge them to intervene. The military on the whole don't have the political intelligence to act on their own."

- Sherman H. Anderson
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Warrant Officer Sherman H. Anderson for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty. Warrant Officer Anderson distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions while serving as pilot of the command and control aircraft during a combat operation in the Soven Sistera Mountain area. While supporting American Special Forces advisors to Cambodian units engaged in battle with a large enemy force on Nui Ta Bac Mountain, Warrant Officer Anderson flew more than fifteen hours under constant enemy fire to permit the Special Forces advisors to control the Cambodian elements involved. Displaying dynamic airmanship and undaunted courage, he flew numerous low-level missions over the area, landed many times to carry in supplies and to evacuate the wounded, and volunteered repeatedly for any hazardous mission which arose. Braving intense fire on countless occasions throughout the battle, Warrant Officer Anderson was highly instrumental in the success of this crucial and highly dangerous mission. His heroic actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

Happy Monday! Here in America, we're counting down to Thanksgiving Thursday... I'm already prepping my contributions to the big dinner.
Sadly, poor Hritihik Roshan isn't as cheerful - he was taken seriously ill this weekend from a reaction to his medication (or possibly something else) and has just been released from the hospital.
Maybe this will help... the making of Tees Maar Khan title track!
I think my favorite part is when Akshay is foiled by the tiny airplanes... why is he so adorable?!
* Shahrukh and SLB have finally patched up their differences. Chalk it up to the magic of Guzaarish...
* Unsurprisingly, both the Junior and Senior "B" loved the film.
* 3D films are coming to Pakistan by the end of the month! Also, they still love Bollywood!
In a nation where people have learnt to live with uncertainty and chaos, it's these Bollywood masala fares that provide much-needed relief.
"We have learnt to live our life the hard way, so our love for Bollywood gives a breather from the regular news of bloodshed and killings. Sometimes, one needs to live in the reel life as well," said beauty saloon owner Ruquia.
* Akshay Kumar generously gifted 30 lakhs to the crew of Tees Maar Khan.
* Sajid Khan talks about reviewing films.
"Reviewing isn't for everyone. It needs to be done tactfully. It is a verdict, which will assist people on whether to watch a film or not. But most people today write the entire summary of the plot and forget to say whether the film is worth watching or not. Not only is it incomplete, but it kills the market of the film, once the story is revealed."
* And speaking of Sajid Khan, John Abraham has been picked up for the Housefull sequel.
* Manisha Koirala may already be getting a divorce!
* There is nothing better than some cranky industry person railing against contemporary films - and even better, audiences!
[Adoor Gopalakrishnan] believes that "cinema as a genre has been taken over by the mainstream industry" and blames the audiences equally for the trend.
"Bad films made in Tamil Nadu and rejected by the audience do well in Kerala. Film-going audience don't seem to have any intellect – it is a way to kill time. They have stopped taking cinema seriously," he rued.
And one of my favorite directors had his birthday... KABIR KHAN! Happy birthday, sir!
Oh... Katrina... and Farah!
Arshad and Maria!
John Abraham! You know, I still think that Kabir Khan managed to get John's best performance in New York.

Heavy. That's a pretty gutsy, honest video. One of the definitions of "hilarious" is "farcical"…one way we deal with our pain is to try and remove the reality from it. Thanks for posting this, 22 words. It's good.
Wow is right. This is the most real video I've seen on 22 words. Powerful.
until rape, in and by itself, is treated equally, we will fight hard battles. this is a beautiful expression of the pain behind male rape. excellent video.

In the 1940s, the federal government produced and promoted industrial hemp with the movie "Hemp For Victory," During a time of war, when many natural and human resources were strained, hemp's efficient growth cycle and the wide array of industrial uses for its fibers and resin relieved the high demand for these commodities.
Following the war, the cost of producing hemp in the United States became prohibitory due to reimplementation of taxes and strict regulations. However, Barack Obama signed a pro-hemp Farm Bill in 2014 that allowed for the cultivation of hemp across the nation. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York State has been signing hemp positive legislation in recent years. In 2017 he signed Senate Bill 6787 which acknowledged the potential of industrial hemp, and indicates New York's efforts in "support of industrial hemp."
Where Can I Buy CBD Hemp Oil In New York?
Customers do not need a prescription to buy CBD products in New York. Online markets are currently the best place to buy CBD. However, retail stores across the state also carry over-the-counter CBD products like CBD Terpene oils.
The primary concerns of prospective CBD customers are quality and safety. Companies like Green Roads ensure peace of mind by including the results from third-party lab tests for all their products. Green Roads also features a variety of products to meet all needs, including CBD Capsules, CBD Daily Doses and even CBD for pets. If a customer wishes to buy CBD edibles online Green Roads provides high-quality CBD infused candy.
Purchasing CBD Online
The best place to buy CBD currently is online via sources like Green Roads. There is no substitute for doing your own research. We recommend only trusting CBD manufacturers who utilize a third party lab for testing, source their hemp from the United States, and have a pharmacist in place to formulate their finished products. Green Roads includes all of these elements, and their success is evident. In early 2018 their products are sold by over 10,000 retail stores, their online selection is constantly growing, and they continue to provide top-notch customer service and products to customers nationwide.

*The legal landscape around CBD is unclear and changing rapidly both at the Federal and State level. Federally, the 2018 Farm bill legalized industrial hemp and its derivatives, including CBD, however, the bill specifically provided that States may have more restrictive legislation.
At the State and local level, while CBD has been declared legal in a number of States or localities, in others its status remains unsettled and the landscape is changing rapidly. Even in States and localities where the law is adverse, enforcement is haphazard and often stems from misinformation or misunderstanding.
It is important to understand that, generally, the law is more favorable towards CBD produced from hemp than from marijuana and Green Roads' products are produced exclusively from hemp. Also Green Roads products contain less than 0.0mg THC.
The information above and any other communication regarding legality which you may receive from any representative of Green Roads or the Green Roads' website is for informational purposes only and not for the purpose of providing legal advice. You must make your own judgment regarding whether you should purchase CBD in your jurisdiction. You should contact your attorney to obtain more specific guidance.*

ARGOMENTI: Seminars
Giovedì 3 Maggio 2018 alle ore 14:30 in Aula 2BC30, Gabriele Mancini (Università di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Improved Adams-type inequalities and their extremals in dimension 2m".
This talk focuses on Moser-Trudinger type inequalities and on the existence of critical points for the corresponding exponential-type energy functionals. In particular, I will present the proof of the existence of maximizers for the Adams inequality (which is a high-order version of the MT inequality) on even-dimensional bounded smooth domains. I will also discuss an alternative approach in dimension 2 based on sharp energy estimates for blowing-up sequences of critical points. Such estimates describe how the existence of extremals is affected by perturbations of the exponential nonlinearity and suggest how to construct a family of MT-type functionals for which extremals do not exist.
These results were obtained in collaboration with Azahara De La Torre, Luca Martinazzi e Pierre-Damien Thizy.

The Gypsy Girl and the Accountant's Brother (4 of 5)
By rosaliekempthorne
- 112 reads
"She's dangerous," Jodie explained. "I don't know if I can make you understand, but she's a threat to your brother, and she knows she is."
Simon walked along beside her, "Well, I don't quite see how."
Jodie took a breath. "It's really… it's just really… Us and them. The Summers and Winters. It's best that we're not in the same place at the same time. It's the effect we have on each other. We bring out the worst in each other… we bring out… the dark… the dark impulses." She clenched her fists in frustration. "There's no good way to explain it. When we get too close to them, we become our worst selves… or… our different selves. And it spreads, it gets into the population. And vice-versa, us to them."
"But do you hear yourself?"
"Yes. Yes, I do. And it sounds mad to someone like you."
"Like me?"
"Not raised on this. But listen: there's a lot more of us than of her. So most of the influence is going to be one way. And she's the only target. She can put up as many wards as she wants but the influence is going to creep through there. I can't believe she doesn't know it. She's so bloody arrogant. I don't know what the others are going to want to do…" She rubbed her arm in a way eerily similar to how Gretchen had last night at the restaurant. "But Simon, you have to take me seriously: she's not safe for your brother. If she stays with him someone is going to get hurt. He's got to get away from her. For his safety.
Easier said than done.
Dirk was in love.
And it was something to see. Something Simon had never seen before. True love was an emotion he'd always imagined Dirk to be somehow too hard for, too rough around the edges, too fiercely watchful of his own borders, ever to give himself boundlessly to somebody else. But then he'd never met Gretchen before.
He told Simon once. "I could probably marry her."
"Are you serious?"
"I don't even know."
"Well, she's gorgeous."
"No. No, buts…"
"Jodie doesn't like her. Right?"
Sheepishly: "Right."
"Well Jodie's hot. She's way out of your league. So I'd never ask you to give her up. But I'm not having her making any trouble for Gretchen, okay?"
"Not having her?"
"Yeah." He looked as if Simon was stupid; there was something razor sharp in his eyes. "Gretchen's my girl."
"Jodie's mine."
"But the gloves will be off."
Simon caught himself off guard by laughing.
"Can you imagine either of those women thinking either of us could tell the what we were or weren't having? They can both take care of themselves, and come on, she'd kick your ass for thinking you could interfere in anything that was going on between them. She'd tell you it was none of your self-important male business."
Dirk laughed with him. Almost like brothers. Because they could both imagine Gretchen doing just that. Even from the small amounts of time he'd spent in her company Simon knew she was formidable, that she didn't stand down from a fight, or a rude word, or the prospect of anything she wanted. And she certainly didn't need her man to fight her battles for her.
No more than Jodie did.
They drank to their women – a beer each – laughing, as if their relationship had never been difficult. Maybe she brings out the best in him, Simon thought.
Jodie thought otherwise. And she was relentless about it. "You just don't see it yet, that's all. But I have seen it. Before. It's a real thing, and it's going to happen."
"He loves her."
"She probably loves him. But it won't protect either of them."
When they looked out the window and saw a group of birds fighting, Jodie frowned. She said, "It's happening."
These birds, darting in and out, pecking at each other, drawing blood, wings flapping, squawking.
Simon put his hand on her shoulder. "It's just birds."
"When do you ever see them fight like that? Sparrows?"
That much did catch on his mind. "Okay, it's a bit weird."
"It's not good," Jodie insisted. "All of it. It's not good."
But it was good. For Dirk.
At least until it wasn't.
At least until he lost his job.
He tried to make no great deal of it, over at his family's home for drinks and catch-up. He tried to just slide it into the conversation as if it were nothing much of anything.
Their dad hit the roof. "What do you mean you've been fired?!"
"I didn't use the word fired."
"Well, what would you call it then?"
"They just don't need as much staff as they did. I was the last hire, so it's just the way it works that they don't keep me on."
"What about all the praise, and these letters of endorsement?"
"Well, what? I earnt all that."
"And what about your contract?"
Dirk shoved himself to his feet, shaking the table, rattling the dinnerware. His anger was volcanic, and it was nothing Simon had ever seen him employ towards their father before: "For fuck sake, Dad! Do you think this isn't a problem for me? Do you think it's how I hoped the whole damn thing was going to play out?"
Dad, on his feet as well: "Now you watch what you say…"
"To you? To my good old Dad…?"
"You might be a man now, but it doesn't make us any less blood."
"Blood. Fine. But don't test me right now."
"Don't test you?"
"I've had one fuck of a bad day."
"And there's no need to speak like that in front of your mother…"
But he was already up and marching away, a flurry of additional expletives under his breath, fists clenched.
"See," Jodie said.
"Not really," Simon lied.
Because it could just have been that moment: when the son realises that he is an adult now too, on the same playing field as his father, both men. When he understands that the tellings-off and warnings, the slaps and pointed fingers are no longer applicable. Bigger and stronger, wiser in some ways if not in others. It could just have been a milestone, but it felt to Simon as if Dirk had lost control in a way Dirk just didn't – not with his parents.
Jodie insisted: "He does need to leave her."
"Well, he won't."
"We're talking about it, you know?"
"Them. At the fairground. We're talking the whole thing out."
"Is it any of your business?" and he winced at himself for taking a tone like that with a woman like Jodie.
But she was unoffended. She had more on her mind than his way of talking to her. "It's everybody's business. It affects everyone."
"I don't think it does."
But there was an accident in town a couple of days later. Jodie read about it in the paper. Just a minor little prang, but the drivers had tumbled out of their cars and set about shouting one another down, and those shouts had ended with fists.
"Next time with a knife," Jodie said.
"They weren't the type to carry knives."
"The time after that with a gun."
"And then a tactical nuke?"
"She has to go."
"She's not going to."
"If she doesn't…"
"If we have to make her…"
She looked sorry to be saying this, to be saying it to him. "Simon, we do what we have to do. And we do have our ways. We really do."
"What happened to being no witch, no fairy?"
"I was only talking about myself."
"And what about Dirk?"
"Dirk: this is for him. This is so he won't end up his own worst nightmare. Can you imagine your brother as all the worst inside him, as all the worst bubbling up to the surface? Can you imagine what that would be like?"
Unwillingly, he shuddered.
But he did, also, love Dirk.
"I don't really know what they mean…" His head was hung. He felt ashamed of telling. And he felt ashamed at the very idea of not telling. He felt like a dumb kid.
"They're going to put a gypsy curse on me?"
"Oh, I don't know."
"Because they don't want me with Gretchen?"
"I'm not sure if it's that."
"But you're taking her seriously."
The words slithered out reluctantly: "I think so."
"Bloody carnies."
"So is Gretchen."
"Of a different kind. Hers are… sophisticated, dark. They belong in the twenty-first century. They have some class. They have cellphones."
"So does Jodie."
"Yeah, well. Hey, do you want to give Jodie a message for me?"
"Probably not."
Dirk came to stand beside him. In their parents' living room. He put a hand down on Simon's shoulder that was like a massive iron claw. There was a new level of menace in it, in Dirk. Who still hadn't apologised to their parents for his outburst, who felt he didn't have to. A subtly changed Dirk…? He said, "There ain't nobody in this world that's going to split up me and Gretchen. Not Jodie. Not you. Not anybody. So, brother," and he let the word drawl over his tongue, "you tell your little girlfriend to tell her little buddies, that they had better mind their own business. Understand?"
"Or what, Dirk?" What kind of a threat was this meant to be? Was it levelled at Jodie? Because he couldn't have that…
His brother revealed a broken smile. "Give them this message then: they're wasting their time. Gretchen's going to do what she wants, when she wants, with who she wants. And the who she wants is me. And they don't get a say in that."
That message? Sure. He had to shrug away from Dirk with some effort, with some actual promises. And the next day he found dark bruises on his shoulder, such as Dirk hadn't left on him in nearly a decade.
It was over though. He'd warned Dirk. And Jodie would understand. And Jodie would say she just hoped he could take the real warning and separate himself from Gretchen before things got any worse.
It was over with. Simon thought. Until that afternoon, a week later, when the phone rang.

Friday became Guarantee Day for the Seahawks.
The fifth day following the Super Bowl, the fifth day of the league's after-season waiver period, is the trigger date for guarantees in some Seattle players' contracts for the ensuing year.
Friday Kam Chancellor got $5.2 million of his $10 million Seahawks salary for 2019 guaranteed (yes, he's still on the roster because he hasn't retired despite his career-ending neck injury in 2017). Chancellor had a clause in the extension the four-time Pro Bowl safety signed in August 2017, months before he injured his neck. It guaranteed him $5.2 million for 2019 in the event of injury.
That guarantee, and the one for $6.8 million against injury he received this time last year, are why Chancellor has not officially retired. He still has one more year after this one remaining on that legacy contract he signed almost two years ago, one that still stings the Seahawks and their salary cap. If he retires, he forfeits those guarantees.
That's the danger of agreeing to a multiyear extension with upfront cash to a rugged veteran who had a history of injuries. Even when he was that team's soul.
Chancellor sustained a nerve injury in his neck Nov. 9, 2017, making a tackle late in a win at Arizona. That was three months and a week after Chancellor signed an extension through the 2020 season that included $25 million guaranteed against injury.
That deal and paying a guy who can't play for them is part of why the Seahawks played hardball and did not give three-time All-Pro Earl Thomas the richest deal for a safety in the league last offseason and preseason. Then the 29-year-old broke his leg for the second time in three years, in late September in another win at Arizona. Thomas is on his way to free agency next month. His Seahawks' contract is expiring instead of it getting extended or him getting traded, as he wanted throughout 2018.
Chancellor's salary-cap charge for 2019 is scheduled to be $13 million, including prorated bonuses. If the Seahawks released him before June 1 they would save $2.3 million of that $13 million against their cap and would have a $2.5 million cap charge for him in 2020. The $2.5 million is the prorated amount of the signing bonus that would remain on Chancellor's contract.
If the Seahawks release him after June 1 they'd save $4.8 million against their cap this year.
It's basically a choice of whether the Seahawks want to save $2.5 million against their cap this year, or next.
They are in the best cap shape they've been in for years. They had $52.7 million in cap space as of Friday, eighth-most in the league, according to overthecap.com.
Other Seahawks getting guaranteed cash for 2019 on Friday: wide receiver Tyler Lockett ($3,907,000, from the extension he signed last summer), center Justin Britt ($2.25 million), safety Bradley McDougald ($1 million) and left tackle Duane Brown ($1.75 million). All are central to the team's plans and fortunes in 2019.
Former agent Joel Corry, who writes on salary-cap issues for CBS Sports, noted Friday the Seahawks' date for vesting guarantees in their contracts is the earliest in the league. Most happen in March, in the days after the new league year begins.
The money Chancellor, Lockett, Britt, McDougald and Brown got Friday were all expected guarantees. After all, the Seahawks wrote them into each player's contract.
The unexpected Seahawks guarantee Friday?
Yes, a live Seahawks snow cam guaranteed we all could see every flake of snow falling at team headquarters, Crystal Mountain and Stevens Pass style. It was mounted on a upper-floor window of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, facing south overlooking the Seahawks' practice fields along Lake Washington.
That's how big an event the much-hyped Seattle Snowpocalypse was already Friday afternoon. It was not even one hour after the snow we've been hearing about here all week began falling on the Seattle-Tacoma area.
Even Lockett, a native of Tulsa, Okla., who played his college football at Kansas State, was impressed: Gregg Bell is the Seahawks and NFL writer for The News Tribune. In January 2019 he was named the Washington state sportswriter of the year by the National Sports Media Association. He started covering the NFL in 2002 as the Oakland Raiders beat writer for The Sacramento Bee. The Ohio native began covering the Seahawks in their first Super Bowl season of 2005. In a prior life he graduated from West Point and served as a tactical intelligence officer in the U.S. Army, so he may ask you to drop and give him 10.

These two 9-year-olds weren't going to wait around for the adults to do something about their school's waste problem – so they took matters into their own hands.
Lyla and Katie are both third graders at East Cooper Montessori Charter School in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. During one of their lessons, they learned about the negative effects of styrofoam on the environment – from how long it takes to biodegrade, to how much it contributes to landfills worldwide.
RELATED: 12-Year-old Girl Outsmarts Carjacker and Saves Little Sister
The girls spoke to the head chef about their dilemma. The chef then contacted the school district for a quote on the dishwasher. The price of both new plastic trays and a dish washing machine came to $10,000.
Unfazed by the sum, Lyla and Katie got to work – and with a little assistance from Lyla's mother Eliza Hardman, who is also a school teacher at East Cooper, the girls kicked butt.
"I was thrilled to help! I wanted to make sure the girls had done their research, which they had," Eliza told the Good News Network. "They had already talked to the school chef, who contacted the district about getting a quote for the dishwasher. They had also made posters to put around the school and a donation box for the front office. Then, after they wrote up their mission statement, and I saw how serious they were, I knew it was time for me to get involved."

Eliza created a GoFundMe campaign to help with the third grader's goal – and they've already raised $1,500.
Though there's still a long way to go, Lyla and Katie are turning heads with their gusto and determination.
"I am so proud of Lyla and the efforts she and her friend Katie have made to help their school. It's inspiring to see two people so young make such a positive impact. Both girls have really big hearts and already are developing an awareness and concern for environmental and social issues, so to see them put their ideas into action is really exciting!"

Georgia Rockcress Declared a Threatened Species
Georgia's collection of rich and vibrant wildlife has always been one of our state's best features. But what happens when one of these plants becomes endangered?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has declared the Georgia Rockcress (PDF, 858 KB) plant to be a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Rockcress is found only in Georgia and parts of Alabama, with 732 acres of river bluff also being designated as critical to the plant's survival. Currently only about 5,000 Georgia Rockcress plants exist. The plant is usually found growing in shallow soils overlaying rock in steep river bluffs.
Now that the Rockcress has been declared as a threatened species, the next course of action will be to recover the plant and hopefully remove it from the threatened species list. To do this, the Rockcress should only be observed by hikers and cannot be picked or disturbed.
If you have Georgia Rockcress growing on your land, there are resources available for you! Find out what this new status can mean for your property by contacting James Rickard at:

Watching the recent televised Democratic gubernatorial debate I was struck by the wealth of experience and expertise on display. But I was even more impressed by their commitment to the vision that we Mainers are "in this together," and that investing in Mainers is the path to a prosperous state.
While watching I found myself imagining a governor who loved Maine.
Each candidate spoke to the critical issues facing us as a state while also acknowledging the fiscal challenges involved.
Electing any of the Republican candidates this year will give us more of that we've had for the last seven-plus years: more jobs lost, more MaineCare fights, more hunger, more homelessness, more disabled folks left to fend for themselves, more abused children. More divisive, hate-filled rhetoric that pits one Mainer against another and sees everyone in need as only a liability.
Is this really who we are? If you've been fortunate enough to do well in this state and country it is, in part, because you've been in this country and not another. The public has paid for the education your employees received, the roads that make commerce possible, the armed forces that maintain the peace, etc. Sure, you've worked hard. But lots of people work hard, with fewer personal resources and a lot less luck.
Life isn't a zero-sum game that makes your win my loss. There's enough for everyone. The Democratic candidates left little doubt that this is also how they see the world.

We've been plastering our logo all over the place. And not just because it's a work of art (because it is. Shout out to @thewellsmakery!), but because of the meaning behind it. Our logo is the name of our school in a beautiful sans-serif font in hand-painted letters against the backdrop of a blooming prickly pear done in water color. So, what's special about that? A lot!

Mommy, I'm a full-fledged human being!
Oh the joy of welcoming a newborn. They are so tiny and squishy they make us want to scream. Newborns have the ability to make the most refined people produce unintelligible sounds of the goo-goo-ga-ga variety. While it is exciting to welcome a new member into your family, we would like for you to think twice (or more, if needed), before you switch to baby talk. In this article we will discuss the four stages of development (the absorbent mind, the reasoning mind, the social rebirth and adulthood) every human goes through before reaching adulthood with the aim to give more insight into the changes our youngest members of society go through and the development needs they have at each stage.
On Miracle Milk
and why this source of wealth remains untapped in Curaçao
Our era is the most exciting one to raise a child. Scientific discoveries in the field of child development happen on the regular and that information is readily available to all who seek it. One of the areas that is being increasingly researched and published about is human milk, its composition and its many benefits. UNICEF summarizes the many benefits of breastfeeding best, stating on their website that breastfeeding saves lives, improves health and cuts costs in every country worldwide. As a society, we are obsessed with creating wealth and opportunity for people on our island. So, why does this obvious source of wealth remain untapped in Curaçao?
How to prepare your home to welcome your newborn
Bringing a child into this world is exciting, and for most new parents a little bit scary as well. Even seasoned parents will tell you that every child is different and number two (or three or four) is as much a life-changing event as the first. Unlike everything else in our modern world, a child doesn't come with a 10-minute YouTube instructional video. And what works for one parent, might not work for the other. But there are some universal guidelines backed by science to preparing your environment to welcome a new child in the family. Before you go and buy "the internet", consider what an infant really needs during the first year of its life outside of the womb. And use the things you already have to meet those needs and make the new baby feel welcome from day one.

Candy, White Castle, CulversMay 24th, 2005 at 08:47 pm
So since my BF is off his dieting and into the junk food thing for a while, we went out and ate.
First stop: Home for some peanut butter toffee with more peanut butter on top. (His idea)
Second stop: White Castle. We had the coupon for 2 free burgers (Thank you savingadvice.com) Then we split a meal. $6.67 for both of us.
Third stop: It was suppose to be for a funnel cake sunday but they were closed, so it became Culvers. That came out to $4.25 for both.
It's our new resolution to eat at places using all kinds of coupons, and only hit the non-coupon places once in a while. So far so good.

Recent reviews
Very good 8,2 From 1 346 reviews
Loved it, a bit of a mixup with the room we booked, it was resolved straight away.ALL the staff were great.
The customer service wasn't very good, especially during check-in. I guess they are also going to start charging for wi-fi, but they did at least waive the fee ($16.95/day). The elevators are very small and take forever. We ended up using the stairs instead. Our room was on the third floor but it felt and looked like we were stuck in the basement. The room had the smell of damp clothes.
The service is very friendly and professional. The hotel is over due for a revamp. The suits are dingy, poor lighting and and builds infront of the windows not allowing any sunlight in. Carpet is dirty next to the wall because it is very old. Roll away bed, for the price should have been a stand up twin bed with a good matress and not a little fold away bed. They said they have the remodel scheduled for 2020 Location is amazing. They should invest to keep it updated. Specially for what they charge
Great location obviously, but the hotel is in need of renovation.

"Searching for Pulsars with Effelsberg"
Pulsars are fundamental tools for astronomy and physics. Every single new pulsar has the potential to provide an outstanding laboratory for a wide variety of physics, ranging from a better understanding of the stellar evolution to testing theories of gravity and placing limits on the equation-of-state.
Although more than 2500 pulsars have been found so far, most of them are normal isolated pulsars. Of the more rare objects, only 14 are double neutron star systems and just one is a double pulsar system. Moreover, no neutron star-black hole system has been detected to date.
With the aim of finding the most intriguing pulsars and the potential pulsar-black-hole binaries I have joined two major pulsar and radio transient surveys 1) The High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) using 100-m Effelsberg and 64-m Parkes telescope, and 2) The survey led by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). I will discuss the updates on the surveys, the development of a pulsar search pipeline and multi-beam Radio frequency interference mitigation techniques, and finalise with the new discoveries.

It's getting to the point now where we'll have to add an extra genre to our database soon - the Minecraft-alike. From the incredible creative freedom of LEGO Worlds, to the story driven adventure that was Dragon Quest Builders, Minecraft has inspired a whole range of games of its very own - and now there's another challenger to the crown. Step right up, Portal Knights - a game that looks like it could be a Playmobil version of LEGO Worlds.
Sitting somewhere in-between the creative block building of Minecraft, and the role playing inspired Dragon Quest Builders, Portal Knights is a split-screen, block based build 'em up that features plenty of combat, very little in the way of story, and more crafting than you can shake a workbench at. Playing either on your own, or with up to three friends in tow (via a mixture of split-screen and online), the idea here revolves around the titular portals, which are used to teleport you between worlds. Each world you land in contains (at least) one portal, hidden somewhere on the map - and if you can find it, and repair it, you'll be able to travel through it to the next world.
While the game's own description may big itself up as being a role playing game with "100+ memorable NPCs", it's fair to say that's a bit of a... creative way of putting it, at best. With little in the way of a story, and even less in the way of memorable NPCs, Portal Knights is a game that's all about the exploration, and the combat - although there is a basic character creator here, and a choice of three classes to choose from (mage, warrior, and ranger).
Essentially, when you apparate into a world, your first (and often only) task is to find the portal so you can move onto the next level. It's how you do that that presents the game's biggest challenge. With each world being randomly generated, the portal could be absolutely anywhere, and is usually hidden somewhere well away from anywhere you might accidentally stumble across. Instead, you'll need to comb the world with a fine toothpick, as you explore crumbling castles, deep caves, and even darker dungeons.
Of course, it'd all be a little bit dull if there was nothing to try and get in your way while you're hunting the portal down, and this is perhaps where Portal Knights becomes its most "role playing-y". Scattered around the world, whether above or below ground, are many an angry monster, who are willing to do all they can to get in between you and your portal. Combat is of a hack and slashy style, with the game automatically focusing on the first enemy you attack - something which works well if there's just the one enemy around, but which can be more than a little bit frustrating in a group encounter, as there's no way to switch which enemy you're targeting mid-battle. Instead, the only option is to press L2 (on PS4) to turn off the targeting camera, and then attack something again to trigger it, hoping the game decides to lock on to the right thing this time...
However, while it may be aimed at kids, Portal Knights has one heck of a steep learning curve, where even from the very beginning, you'll find yourself facing off against enemies that can kill you in only a handful of hits. While mastering the handy dodge/roll move will often get you out of trouble, the only reliable way to be able to defeat tougher enemies is to a) level up, and b) craft.
Much like in Minecraft, Portal Knights has a huge emphasis on crafting and building. Along with encouraging you to make your own house (you can choose one of the worlds to be your "home base", build a house out of blocks, and decorate it with whatever you find), you'll need to regularly keep harvesting new materials, and then refining and crafting them into new weapons and equipment on your trusty workbench. After making yourself a basic axe in the game's tutorial, it's up to you to put it to good use, digging into rock faces, mines, and even the ground itself as you gather the all important resources you need. Just to make things a little bit more difficult, each world also contains a different mixture of materials and minerals to harvest, meaning you'll sometimes have to jump between them if you're looking for a hard to find ore or gemstone.
Every ten or so worlds, the game takes a bit of a different tack, and drops you head first into a boss fight - which can often challenge you in unusual ways. The very first boss fight you get is against a giant worm, which sits in the middle of a giant pit of lava, surrounded by a circular stone walkway. The only problem, of course, is that you can't actually reach it where it is - instead, you'll need to find the worm tail that pops up on the walkway, hidden amongst dozens of other worms and snake enemies, and give it a smack, causing the snake boss to fall over, and giving you an ample opening.
However, while it may have a lot in common with Minecraft, that's also one of Portal Knights' greatest weaknesses - and not because it's "too samey". Instead, the bigger issue here is that if you haven't played Minecraft before, you'll be left with literally no idea about what you're supposed to be doing. With a pitiful amount of tutorials at the start (a handful of objectives will pop up at the side of the screen if you stroll near to a trigger point, before sometimes randomly disappearing), the game makes very little effort to explain its most important aspects - yet alone reinforce how important they'll be if you want to do well. There's nothing here to explain quite how essential crafting is to your progress, not a sausage that tells you how to mine or gather materials, and not even a whisper that you get access to better weapons and armour by upgrading your workbench (which in itself is hidden away in a small menu tab). We get that a lot of the appeal of these sort of games is in the adventure, and finding your own way, but developers really need to remember, they at least need to teach us the basics first!
If you plan on playing in split-screen (and we'd recommend it, as the game really comes into its own with two players), it may be worth bearing in mind that Portal Knights is one of those immensely irritating games that thinks you either sit an inch from your TV screen, or use some binoculars to play your games. Should the game ever give you anything in the way of text based instructions - like a quest counter, or a tutorial - they'll be delivered in one of the smallest fonts we've ever seen in a game. Quite how this made it into the final version is anyone's guess, but it's clear that this was never tested in a normal living room situation. Just see for yourself, and see if you can read what this says:
Still, if you're a Minecraft fan, and/or you've played your way through Dragon Quest Builders, and/or you fancy cutting your teeth on something a little bit different to LEGO Worlds, then Portal Knights should scratch a familiar itch. With a real sense of adventure as you explore an underground cavern (although perhaps one that's not quite as strong as in LEGO Worlds), there's adventures to be had here - just be sure to give the multiplayer a try too, despite the tiny font.

Protect the access routes onto your farm:
Most farms have multiple routes that people can use to visit the farm. Given that farm crimes usually happen after or even during a day light reconnaissance visit. Closing down the routes that people can easily use to visit your farm is essential in order to put off these day time visits and to force visitors past areas where they can be seen or be recorded on CCTV cameras.
Things to consider when securing your farm access routes:
Control entry by closing gates or erecting chains
Farms are almost impossible to lock down at night, during the day is a different matter all together. The simplest of measures can be used to limit or direct day time visitors. A chain simply stretch across an entry, or closing gates , either automatically or by hand are easy to do and will help force visitors to use the routes onto your farm that you choose. Related Products: Access Control
Install Signs to Direct traffic
Being low cost, signs are ideal for directing traffic. Signs such as PRIVATE NO ENTRY to ALL VISITORS MUST REPORT TO THE FARM OFFICE. Make it much harder for an opportunist criminal to remain un-suspicious. Additionally they let the criminal know that your farm is security conscious encouraging them to move on to an easier target.
Use CCTV to record the visitors to your farm
Whilst recording license plates at night is quite difficult and requires expensive specialist equipment, during the day its much easier. Installing CCTV will deter both an opportunist and a later visit. Used alongside some sort of alarm it is the best it can be. Then it will alert you to look at your cameras practically giving you eyes in the back of your head. Related Products: Security Cameras
Use driveway alarms to alert you of visitors
Driveway alarms can alert you when visitors come to your farm. They can be as simple as a 'ding dong' in your farm office or house. Or alert you by text message. If you have a busy farm they can be turned on only at night or when you are away. Related Product: Driveway Alarms

Every nursery needs the perfect, sink-in-and-say-aaaaah chair. Storytime, 3am feedings and baby's first attempts at mobility are all more comfortable with the perfect upholstered piece to climb into. Having designed spaces for expecting parents for the past 6 years, I've only found a few models that didn't scream GLIDER! or that weren't covered with toxic ultrasuede and excessive stain-guarding chemicals. Modern rockers by Q Collection Junior and Duc Duc led the pack with their non-toxic finishes and sustainably harvested woods. And now the trendsetters at DwellStudio have introduced two glider styles into their line that look enough like a chair to live in any room, but provide all the comfort of a traditional glider.
The Thompson and Savoy Gliders are available in 8 fabrics and take 6-8 weeks to produce. They are crafted from sustainable hardwood that is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and covered in 100% cotton or natural linen. The glide mechanism is made from recycled steel. Both are a reasonable $1190.

Our Approach:
The below items describe what you can expect with any project:
- Communication -
From beginning to end, you will have only one "point person" you will need to deal with, which simplifies all steps within a project. Whether sketching out an initial quote, meeting final completion markers, or ongoing support after implementation, you will know exactly who you are dealing with.
We also excel in our communications, whether that is via email or on the phone. Concerned about needing to translate "tech-speech" into your language? Don't worry, we can deal with it all on our end.
- Project Layout -
When we initially discuss your requirements, we can sketch out generalities both in terms of product and price.
We then will send you a detailed quote (or quotes) which goes into time frames, scheduling, deliverables from your end (photos, logos, product & price lists), and what and when we will create for you.
We believe all projects should have "check points" or "milestones" that will establish that we are on schedule and on budget. At each milestone, we can assess progress and discuss direction. The last thing we want is to go far down a path, only to have to double back to meet your needs.
- Delivery & Implementation -
Is this a project we simply hand over on a DVD? Are we implementing it on your private server? Are we hosting this ourselves?

Security Council, Briefing on Somalia
Remarks by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Azerbaijan
Mr. Elmar Mammadyarov
• I would like to welcome Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa Her Excellency Maite Mkoana-Mashabane. I also thank Under Secretary-General Lynn Pascoe, Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union Ambassador Lamamra and the representatives of AMISOM Troop Contributing Countries for their briefings.
• I would like to express our support to the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia in its efforts to overcome difficulties, to achieve reconciliation and to build a secure, stable, united, democratic and prosperous nation.
• Let me also express our full support to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), as well as to commend the efforts of the Somalia security forces and to pay tribute to the Troop Contributing Countries.
• I would also like to commend the efforts of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its Member States in contributing to achieve peace and national reconciliation in Somalia and mobilizing assistance for urgent needs of the peoples affected by humanitarian crisis in this country.
• We must continue to approach the complex situation in Somalia with care and sensitivity and on the basis of a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing the political, humanitarian and security problems in this country through the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.
• As Somalia moves towards the end of the transition in August 2012, special efforts should be made to protect security and political gains of the past few years, as well as to ensure that all steps ultimately contribute to the delivery of the road map.
• It is obvious that security gains on the ground cannot be consolidated without adequate assistance from the international community, including for providing AMISOM with all necessary resources to strengthen the Mission's capability and to contribute implement its mandate. As the Secretary-General made it clear in his recent report on Somalia, the resources available to the United Nations and AMISOM for Somalia are not commensurate with the challenges or the mandates given. We fully support the Secretary-General's view that Somalia needs sustained help in order to implement the road map. The decisions of the Africa Union Peace and Security Council of 5 January 2012 and its call to the Security Council in this regard should also be taken into careful consideration.
• We also stress the importance of continued international assistance for the building of Somalia security institutions. We take note of the need for adequate military assets to fight an asymmetric terrorist attacks.
• We are gravely concern that the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in Somalia. Azerbaijan responded to the appeals of the respective governments and international organizations to provide urgent aid aimed at addressing the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa, including Somalia – the worst-affected country in the region. It is important that the international community continues supporting Somalia, including by contributing to the United Nationals Consolidated Appeal for this country. At the same time, all parties must allow unimpeded humanitarian access and refrain from actions which threaten the safety of the local population and those assisting them. There is also a need to redouble efforts to find long-term solutions for refugees and internally displaced people in Somalia. Azerbaijan is ready to continue its support to those in need in Somalia and other countries of the region.
