Detroit's Eastern Market: A Food Hub in a Food Desert
Look up Wayne County, Michigan, home to Detroit, in USDA's Food Environment Atlas and it is obvious that local residents have some significant challenges in accessing healthful food. An alarmingly high number of households that lack a car in Wayne County are located further than one mile from the closest grocery store, meaning that many families struggle to get access to fresh and healthy food.

Republican Robert F. Bennett
"The next six years will be pivotal, fraught with major decisions which will affect us for a generation. Growth in Utah is not slowing down, bringing challenges in transportation, education, housing, and land use. America's role in the world is being questioned at home and abroad.
Still, I look to the future with optimism. America can and must lead the world toward freedom. We will rise to face our challenges. I pledge to use my experience, leadership positions, and network of contacts in both parties to continue to deliver - as I first pledged 12 years ago -solid positive change."
Gary R. Van Horn, Constitution Party
I believe:
In the U.S. Constitution, in the tradition of the Founding Fathers; The proper role of government is to protect our lives, liberty, and property; If elected, in honoring my oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution; America's military should protect American lives, liberty, and property; That "nation building," "peace keeping," and enforcing UN resolutions is not worth one drop of our soldiers' blood; terrorism cannot be fought with the aid of states that sponsor terrorism; those who work for a living ought to live better than those who won't; children belong to their parents, not to the government; and free men have firearms but slaves do not.
If elected, my top priorities would be:
1) Get the United States out of the United Nations � and the UN out of the US.
2) Get back the 70 percent of Utah land that the federal government holds in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
New states were supposed to enter the Union on the same basis as the existing states. Utah can administer these lands better than the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
3. Restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in all cases involving marriage, prayer, abortion, and other areas in which they have usurped the sole legislative authority of Congress.
4) Repeal the 16th (Income Tax) Amendment, abolish the Internal Revenue Service, and sell off unconstitutional businesses and projects.
5) Use the revenue thus derived to set up a real trust fund (that the government couldn't spend on other things) for those dependent upon Social Security.

^ I don't think anyone doubted zoro for even a seccond though, I know I didn't.
I'm just glad to see him finally get a little bit serious this time arround, and even though it was 1 chapter late, he kept it short sweet and slashy as I wished for.
Point is I really can't see how Smoker and his men (now pretty much in love with sanji and tashigi with zoro :3), will be able to go after the strawhats with all their might when all this is over.
I can see oda make the SHs take responsibility for some terrible event they didn't do themselves later on in the story , but other than that...

Appalachian Trail officials say the recent death of a hiker in Southwestern Massachusetts was a rare occurrence.
Brian King with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy says his group has been told the young man slipped and fell about 35 feet. King says this sort of fatal accident happens about once every three years.
"And most of the time it's not folks just out hiking like they were. The falls we do have tend to be teenagers out at a viewpoint, partying and had too much to drink," King says.
The National Park Service's chief law enforcement ranger for the trail, Todd Remaley, says this recent death was not on the main route, but on a side trail leading to a waterfall.
Remaley says firm statistics are hard to come by, but he estimates a total of 3 to 6 trail-related deaths each year, almost all from medical emergencies like heart attacks rather than from falls.

The Municipal Building Authority of Emery County met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Oct. 1 at 2 p.m. in the commission chambers. Those present were board members Randy Johnson, Drew Sitterud, Ira Hatch and Dennis Nelson.
The first item of business was an update on the state courts building by project manager, Todd Kitchen from Sahara. He said they are still a little ahead of schedule on the project. They anticipate staying ahead of schedule throughout the remainder of the project. We have been on a tight budget and we've been able to loosen it up a little to make the state requirements easier to meet. The state wanted certain electrical items over and above state regulations. They had been pushing for some security access card readers and security cameras where you hit a duress button and the camera would turn on and record what was going on in the court room.
Kitchen reported that all of the items the state wanted are now provided and they feel good about that. Right now they are working on getting the dry wall completed and the exterior glazing will begin on Oct. 7. Sahara will provide the guaranteed maximum price to the building authority. They are currently working on the parking lot for the courts building and the asphalt will be installed on Oct. 5 weather permitting. Grading has been completed as well as the installation of a retention pond.
The final bill has been submitted on the jail portion and Sahara will be returning $15,000 back to the county. Kitchen also explained that Ernie Jensen from Cleveland hadn't submitted his bill on time due to a family emergency and he asked if it could be added on at this time. Jensen has completed his work on the courts building.
The next item on the agenda was the update on the incubator building. Commissioner Sitterud reported that during the last rain storm the roof had leaked like a sieve. Also Marlin Eldred, the economic development director for Emery County told Commissioner Sitterud that there is still some money left on the grant specifically for that building and suggested they repair the roof over the office area with those funds. Eldred was going to check with contractor Ken Stilson to look at the problem. Commissioner Sitterud also said that another tenant is looking at the building for business purposes and he will keep the board updated on the matter.
The next item on the agenda was the approval of the bills with the exception of holding back the Emery Telcom bill for over $50,000 to look into the matter further. This charge is in regards to the public safety complex.
The next item on the agenda was a motion made by Commissioner Hatch to table the previous meeting's minutes until they have a chance to review them.
The next meeting will be held on Dec. 3, with no meeting scheduled in November due to the election.

On the clear sunny morning of March 29, some local and some not so local ATV riders came together to enjoy the Swell and raise money to help with the fight to keep public lands open for ATV use. Two hundred and fifty riders from Utah, Colorado and Nevada began the day's activities by registering and beginning the 30 mile loop known as the Swell Cure for Cabin Fever. The SouthEastern Utah Off Highway Vehicle Club sponsored the fourth annual event which gives participants the opportunity to observe the magnificence of the San Rafael. Not only do the riders get great photo ops, but they can come away with some accessories for the next ride. Many local businesses donated prizes and the riders with the best poker hands aquired during the ride were able to select the item they could use. SEUOHVC had stationed members at five check points and each rider drew a card at each checkpoint to form the best poker hand. Riders from the Carbon Club, Sand Rock Ridge Riders from Fillmore, Motorcycle Trail Riders Association from Colorado, Utah ATV Association from Salt Lake, a couple from Nevada and UTMA from Spanish Fork took part in the Swell Cure For Cabin Fever.Derek Dowsett was on hand to film the experience to be aired on KJAZZ TV during the At Your Leisure program Sunday's at 5:30 p.m.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The setting at Petco Park in San Diego was sublime. The fans were enthusiastic and behind their guys – the U.S. Davis Cup squad – and the players gave the best they could muster during the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas first-round tie against Great Britain.
But in the end, a British team with reigning Wimbledon champion Andy Murray on board proved too tough for the American squad of Sam Querrey, Donald Young and Bob and Mike Bryan, as determined as they were to win.
When Querrey eventually surrendered to Murray, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-3, in the first reverse singles match on Sunday, the tie was over and the fifth match would not be played. Great Britain had secured an insurmountable 3-1 advantage over the U.S. and was heading to the quarterfinals in April.
"I feel good," Querrey said after the match. "He's one of the best players in the world, one of maybe the first or second best defensive players in the world. I felt like he had to come up with some good shots today to beat me. Overall, I felt like I played well and made him hit those shots to beat me."
Querrey played tough tennis in the first two sets. He frustrated Murray through much of the first set – he rebounded with Murray leading 2-0 and 5-3 before eventually losing the set in the tiebreak. In the second set, there were no service breaks and Querrey controlled the breaker.
In the next two sets, however, Murray was the better player, taking a 4-0 lead in the third set. And from 2-2 in the fourth set, he only allowed Querrey to hold serve in the eighth game.
On Friday, the British jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Murray defeated Donald Young, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, and James Ward surprised Querrey, 1-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
On Saturday, the Bryans delivered the lone point of the weekend for the Americans, beating Colin Fleming and Dominic Inglot, 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. But that still left the U.S. at 1-2 with a tough climb ahead. The Americans have only climbed out of a 1-2 hole to win a Davis Cup tie on five occasions in the past.
U.S. captain Jim Courier was eloquent in defeat, congratulating the opponents and complimenting his team. "First, obviously, we should congratulate the Brits on a tie well-played," he said. "We went out and we laid it on the line. We gave our best effort all the way through."
That said, it was clear the result left the Americans wanting, and unhappy to be on the outside of this year's hunt for the Davis Cup trophy.
"We're disappointed," Courier said. "We don't like to see our season end in February, but it is what it is. We'll put it behind us. Hopefully the guys will put together a good season on the ATP circuit and build towards our qualifying match in September and we'll keep our place in the World Group and get a shot at the title again next year."
The U.S. has played in every World Group draw since 1989. The last time the Americans lost a first-round tie was away against Serbia in 2010. They then defeated Colombia, in Colombia, in the World Group Play-off to keep their spot in the main affair for 2011.
It's interesting to note that this year's World Group Play-off in September will feature five of the Davis Cup Top 10 nations, all fighting to retain a place at the upper-level of the competition. The other Top 10 nations joining the U.S. in the play-off round are Spain, Serbia, Argentina and Canada, all of which lost their first-round ties this weekend.

Madison, Wisconsin: In the summer of 2001, five college juniors wake up with . . . not just a hangover, but superpowers. . . .
Jack Robinson: Grew up on a farm, works in a chem lab, and brews his own beer. Age: 19. Superpower: SPEED.
Caroline Bloom: Has a flair for fashion design and a mother who's completely out of touch. Works as a waitress for a lunatic boss.
Age: 20. Superpower: FLIGHT.
Harriet Bishop: Studied violin, guitar, and piano . . . and was terrible at them all. Now writes about music for the campus paper.
Age: 20. Superpower: INVISIBILITY.
Mary Beth Layton: Is managing a 3.8, but feels like she's working three times as hard as the people around her.
Age: 20. Superpower: STRENGTH.
Charlie Frost: Has an anxious way about him, and always looks like he's on day 101 of his most recent haircut.
Age: 20. Superpower: TELEPATHY.
But how do you adjust to an extraordinary ability when you're an ordinary person? What if you're not ready for the responsibility that comes with great power? And how do you keep your head in a world that's going mad?

May 19, 2001
Charlie Frost had the look of someone waiting for a punch line. It wasn't that he seemed about to burst out laughing, but that he had an anxious way about him--as if he were afraid the joke was on him, or worse, that he wasn't going to get it. He was pale and tall and bit his nails and habitually forgot to get his hair cut for months at a time, so that his brown locks ranged from close-cropped and neat to moppish and view-obstructing. Charlie was on day forty-one of his most recent haircut, and he looked like the scruffy fifth member of a struggling boy band. Judging by his ensemble--wrinkled green army pants, a Nike T-shirt, and red Chuck Taylor sneakers--the band's wardrobe person had either taken the day off or was hoping to be fired.
Charlie and two other young men shared a second-floor flat, if that was the word. Flat implied sprawl, and one thing their apartment didn't do was sprawl. It creaked, sagged, and let cold air in during winter, but it did not sprawl. The building was in its early forties, and after half a dozen renovations most of its rooms were higher than they were wide. It was a terrible place for a party.
Charlie and Jack had gotten around that problem by setting up on their front deck, and by inviting only three guests. The alcohol they had brewed themselves, or Jack had. His brother Lloyd had given him a brewing kit for Christmas, and this was his third attempt at making beer. The first batch had turned green, and he had put too much yeast in the second; one night in April Charlie had woken to the sound of exploding bottles. He'd thought it was someone shooting out the windows, and he'd fumbled around in the dark for a phone to call 911 until Jack knocked on his door and told him it was the beer.
Jack was not as tall as Charlie, but he was more physically impressive, with coal black hair and broad shoulders. He had grown up on a farm an hour from Madison, and Charlie had wondered a few times if his parents had ever strapped him to the plow.
"We should have backup," Charlie said. "What if the beer doesn't turn out?"
"It'll turn out fine." Jack inspected the refrigerator, which contained the beer, five frosted glasses, and an empty bottle of ketchup. "Besides, backup is your department, Dr. Nelson."
Dr. Frank Nelson was the name on Charlie's fake ID. He was cautious about using it because the photo was of a bearded man, and Charlie had never needed to shave more than twice a week. There was also the matter of the 270 pounds the license credited Dr. Nelson with, easily twice the amount of flesh clinging to Charlie's bones.
Despite this, Charlie had managed to lay his hands on a couple of bottles of Captain Morgan, which he had hidden in his room. He was half-hoping that Jack's Madison Maibock would turn out to be undrinkable. Then he would have a chance to save the party, and score some points with Caroline.
Caroline Bloom didn't know it, but she was one of the primary reasons for the party. Charlie had wanted her from the day he had first seen her, on August 15, 2000. August 15 was the traditional and much-dreaded moving day for renters in Madison, a day of U-Hauls, abandoned furniture, and enough cardboard boxes to enclose the campus in a corrugated wall. Charlie had been carrying a crate filled with CDs from Jack's truck when he saw Caroline for the first time.
It was ninety-four degrees and humid, but while Charlie was sweaty and sunburned, Caroline's shoulders showed tanned and healthy under her yellow tank top. She sat on the front steps, drinking from a bottle of water while a pair of young men struggled to fit a couch through the front door of 523. Her brown hair was tied back from her neck, and Charlie stared as she swallowed. She saw him as she finished drinking and smiled.
"Moving in upstairs?" she asked.
He nodded.
"Maybe I'll see you around." She followed the couch inside, her cutoff jeans moving in fascinating ways.
"Downstairs neighbor?" Jack had asked, carrying a dresser up the steps.
"I hope so."
A goal had presented itself to Charlie: "Sleep with the curvaceous dark-haired girl who may or may not live downstairs." Charlie set such goals several times a day but rarely gave them much subsequent thought. "Sleep with the cashier at the convenience store" was a common one, or "Sleep with the girl who sat in front of me in history on Tuesday." But most of these random lust objects left his thoughts as quickly as they left his line of sight.
Caroline might have been no different if she hadn't been his neighbor, and if Charlie had been able to find something wrong with her. She wasn't snooty or stupid, and she didn't have an annoying laugh. She didn't flirt with every man she saw, but she wasn't shy either. In the end Charlie had decided that if anything, she was probably a little too good for him.
As if his insecurity were a summons, a knock fell upon the door.
Charlie answered it. "Good evening," he said, trying not to sound like Bela Lugosi and failing.
"We brought food," said Harriet, and she handed him a sack of blue tortilla chips. Mary Beth followed with an ice cream bucket full of salsa. Charlie waited by the door for a moment, but no one was behind them, only the narrow stairs twisting down to the first floor.
"Where's your roommate?" Mary Beth asked.
Charlie shut the door, wondering if she knew he had been about to ask her the same question. "He's in the kitchen, getting the beer."
"Not Jack," Harriet said. "The other one."
"Scott? He mostly stays with his girlfriend. I haven't seen him in days."
"We haven't seen him in months," Mary Beth said. "You'd tell us if you guys had killed him, right?"
Charlie nodded. "We like to keep the community abreast of our many crimes." He gestured toward the hall with hands encumbered with chips and salsa. "Let's head to the deck."
Again, deck was perhaps not the correct word. Accessible only through the window in Jack's "bedroom" (which had once been a walk-in closet), the deck was the railing-enclosed roof of the first-floor porch. Jack and Charlie had furnished it with a few lawn chairs and an old table with crooked legs.
Charlie set the food on the table. "Where's your roommate?" he asked.
"She had a date," Mary Beth said.
"Oh." Charlie replayed his last conversation with Caroline in his mind, trying to find the ambiguities hidden in the words "See you there."
It wasn't as though Harriet and Mary Beth weren't attractive in their own right. Harriet was five-foot-six with deep brown skin, and she wore her dark, curly hair short. In Charlie's fantasies she wore leather pants and high-heeled boots, a white see-through blouse over a black bra, and a chain belt.
(Charlie's fantasies were detailed and--except for the costuming--strictly grounded in the plausible. It was not enough to simply imagine having sex with Catherine Zeta-Jones. It was important to establish, within the context of the fantasy, the manner in which he met Catherine Zeta-Jones, became friends with her, helped her through a difficult divorce, and finally screwed her brains out in a Cannes hotel, aided by a bottle of Cristal and her acquisition of a Grand Jury acting prize.)
Charlie's fantasies about Mary Beth were no less elaborate but tended more toward the breathless and sweaty. Mary Beth was small, but he liked her red hair, and her cleavage--not that she ever showed it--was spectacular. Tonight she wore jeans and a baggy sweatshirt, while Harriet was dressed in white pants and a T-shirt reading CORPORATE RADIO SUCKS.
"Anyone thirsty?" Jack stepped through the window, balancing a tray of chilled glasses in one hand and a six-pack of bottles in the other. He eased the tray onto the table and pulled a bottle opener from his pocket.
He cracked open four bottles and poured glasses for each of them. "A toast," he said. "To another year of classes done."
Charlie took a small taste. The color was right, and the head was healthy but not too fizzy. It was a bit sweet, not enough to offend, and light, with a hint of an aftertaste. He took another sip, and then a long drink.
"You did it," he said.
"He sure did," Harriet said. "Nummy."
"I hope there's more," said Mary Beth.
"Of course." Jack grinned.
It was a warm, cloudless night, but the stars were obscured by the city lights; only the crescent moon and the bright triangle of Deneb, Vega, and Altair were clearly visible through the haze. For a Saturday night, Mifflin Street was quiet. There were only two parties on the block, music and people spilling out onto the sidewalk in an invitation to a police raid. It was the first weekend after finals, last chance to party for those who were headed home for the summer. Across the street a couple packed belongings into a van, pausing after every load to kiss and hold hands.
Charlie was drifting off on his own, as he tended to do. He rose to put on some music but realized that the Stop-and-Starts--Jack called the band next door that because they had never played a song all the way through--were playing in the attic next door.
Harriet leaned back in the plastic lawn chair and put her feet up on the railing. "They're getting better," she said.
"What makes you say that?" Jack asked.
"The drummer stopped playing fills all the time instead of keeping the beat, and the bass player is starting to understand chords. The problem is the guitar player. He can't sing and play at the same time."
"He can't sing at all," Charlie said.
"That's true," Harriet said.
"Harriet writes music reviews for The Campus Voice," Mary Beth said. Charlie had been watching Mary Beth for a while, he realized. He liked her smile.
"I've never seen your name in the Voice," Charlie said.
"I have," Jack said. "You really ripped into Creed. I like that album."
"I never told you not to," Harriet said. "It's just an opinion. I'll never understand why people get so angry about it--I get some seriously threatening letters. You wouldn't believe how much pent-up rage the average Britney Spears fan has."
Jack laughed and set his beer glass on the table, which shifted alarmingly and sent an empty beer bottle tumbling to the deck. It rolled down the shingles and fell to the sidewalk below, shattering.
"Jesus!" came a voice from below. "Who's throwing shit at me?"
"Caroline?" Mary Beth looked over the railing. "I thought you went out for the night. Where's your date?"
"I don't know and I don't care. The restaurant sucked, the movie sucked, and he sucked. Is there any beer left?"
Ten minutes later they were all on their second bottle of Madison Maibock and deep into the snacks.
"The best thing about salsa is there's no fat," said Caroline. She was wearing tight khakis and a cut-sleeved blue top, which was closer, in Charlie's mind, to appropriate fantasy attire.
"You look nice," he told her.
"Thanks," she said.
"Caroline made that top," Mary Beth said. "She's a fashion genius." Charlie didn't know Mary Beth all that well, but he had noticed that she was quick to brag about her roommates but hardly ever said a word about herself.
He put his feet up on the rail and surrendered again to the shyness that always came upon him in groups. He followed the conversation with his eyes, laughing with the others but feeling separate.
Somewhere between the fourth and fifth beer, after they had finished off all the salsa and Caroline had moved her chair closer to Charlie's, clouds blocked out the visible stars and a humid breeze blew down the street. The breeze made Charlie wonder how long ago everyone else had gotten smart and gone inside. Mifflin Street had gone silent. He looked up and saw tree branches swaying eerily in the damp air. A plastic cup skipped down the middle of the street, flashing intermittently beneath the streetlights.
"Maybe we should head inside now," Charlie said. An instant later a flash of white cast the street in stark shadow and light. Then all the lights went out, and the music stopped.
Charlie remembered stumbling inside as the first sheets of rain cascaded onto the deck, and he remembered spilling a stack of CDs over the floor inside. He remembered saying that they might as well finish the beer while it was still cold. What he didn't remember, to his eternal regret, was having sex with Caroline Bloom. Bits and pieces came back to him later--fumbled groping in the hall, banging his shin on the bed, someone closing the door on them after they were both naked. But as to who had instigated the encounter, what had been said, or even how it had felt, he was only ever able to reconstruct a blurry and incomplete picture, one he was never sure was the truth.
May 20, 2001
Mary Beth dreamed that a springer spaniel in a lime green jumpsuit chased her with a machete until her mother--her real mother--took the machete from the dog's four-fingered cartoon paw and replaced it with a tommy gun. She woke as the springer took aim, its long tongue lolling out the side of its mouth.
She tried to read the clock, but it didn't make any sense. 12:00? But it was light out. And it couldn't be noon, because she'd set the alarm for 8:00 so she could get to the library early. Finals might be over, but she wanted to get a jump on the summer session.
She couldn't stop blinking. No, the numbers were flashing. 12:00 . . . 12:00 . . . 12:00 . . . 12:00 . . .
"Shit!" The power had gone out, she remembered now; how she'd gotten back downstairs and into her own bed, wearing only a T-shirt that she wasn't sure she owned, was a mystery. She looked for her watch, but it was nowhere in the tangle of clothes on the floor. She pulled on sweatpants and stumbled to the door. She squeezed the knob, and it came off in her hand.
Mary Beth tried to fit it back into the door, but the shaft was bent. She dropped the doorknob and tugged at the gap above the door. With a metallic groan the hinges gave way, and the door collapsed in on her. She reflexively caught it in one hand and leaned it against the wall.

Honoring IT Innovation and Business Value, the CIO 50 Award is bestowed upon those who demonstrate the role of information technology and innovation in creating competitive advantage, bolstering company performance and enabling growth.
Emirates, in partnership with HP and Microsoft, recently developed an innovative in-flight communication and customer relationship management system. The Knowledge-driven Inflight Service (KIS) system enables cabin crew to operate with greater efficiency and provide a more personalized service to the airline's customers. Developed exclusively for the use of Emirates, the technology enables Emirates' Cabin Crew to deliver a heightened level of personalised service, unrivalled within the industry, by placing flight, staff and customer-related information into the hands of Cabin Crew. With the resulting improved customer experience, the system places Emirates in a position of distinct advantage against competing carriers.
"We work closely with our IT department; constantly seeking ways to enhance our customers' experience," said Kevin Griffiths, Emirates Senior Vice President, Cabin Crew. "Deployed via a compact, sleek Windows 8 tablet, the KIS system allows our staff to provide the highest levels of service to our customers while maintaining the ruggedness and security measures needed from an enterprise class device. With more than 16,500 cabin crew serving nearly 130 destinations, this innovation helps us to better manage our staff and customers world-wide – putting us at the forefront of the industry."
The Emirates Group, an international conglomerate employing more than 62,000 people and generating annual revenues in excess of US$18.4 billion, is comprised of Emirates airline, dnata and more than 50 Group subsidiaries operating across the international aviation, travel, tourism and leisure industries. As Head of IT for The Emirates Group - comprising - Patrick Naef is responsible for the team providing business technology solutions and systems. which support the daily global operations and future growth plans of the entire Emirates Group. Last year, Patrick was also awarded 'Chief Information Officer of the Decade' by Europe's leading IT magazine, CIO and 'CIO of the Year' by leading German-based publication, Computerwoche.
"IT works closely with all departments across the Group; seeking out ways to grow and explore new ways to conduct the business. Innovation in the form of new systems developed, such as KIS, help us to gain both efficiencies and differentiation at the same time. Technology remains key in driving change and growth within our enterprise and across the industry as a whole," said Patrick Naef, Divisional Senior Vice President IT for The Emirates Group and Head of mercator. "This award is testament to the competencies and commitment of our people, not only in IT but also in business departments across the Emirates Group. Together our teams aspire to achieve operational excellence, high performance, and technology value-add delivery in relentless pursuit of enhanced business results."

Socratic Dialog-Inducing Labs: Newton's First and Third Laws
A collection of ""guided construction"" activities that introduces the concept of force, force diagrams and Newton's third law.
According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. Forces always come in pairs - known as "action-reaction force pairs." Identifying and describing action-reaction force pairs is a simple matter of identifying the two interacting objects and making two statements describing who is pushing on whom and in what direction. For example, consider the interaction between a baseball bat and a baseball.
The baseball forces the bat to the left; the bat forces the ball to the right. Together, these two forces exerted upon two different objects form the action-reaction force pair. Note that in the description of the two forces, the nouns in the sentence describing the forces simply switch places.
Consider the following three examples. One of the forces in the mutual interaction is described; describe the other force in the action-reaction force pair. Click the button to view the answer.
Baseball pushes glove leftwards.
The glove pushes the baseball rightward.
Bowling ball pushes pin leftwards.
Pin pushes bowling ball rightward.
Enclosed air particles push balloon wall outwards.
Balloon wall pushes enclosed air particles inwards.
1. Consider the interaction depicted below between foot A, ball B, and foot C. The three objects interact simultaneously (at the same time). Identify the two pairs of action-reaction forces. Use the notation "foot A", "foot C", and "ball B" in your statements. Click the button to view the answer.
The first pair of action-reaction force pairs is: foot A pushes ball B to the right; and ball B pushes foot A to the left. The second pair of action-reaction force pairs is: foot C pushes ball B to the left; and ball B pushes foot C to the right.
2. Identify at least six pairs of action-reaction force pairs in the following diagram.
The elephant's feet push backward on the ground; the ground pushes forward on its feet. The right end of the right rope pulls leftward on the elephant's body; its body pulls rightward on the right end of the right rope. The left end of the right rope pulls rightward on the man; the man pulls leftward on the left end of the right rope. The right end of the left rope pulls leftward on the man; the man pulls rightward on the right end of the left rope. The tractor pulls leftward on the left end of the left rope; the left end of the left rope pulls rightward on the tractor. etc., etc.

Marty Mornhinweg has been a head coach before. Dennis Thurman, unfortunately, has not. Now, though, Rex Ryan actually has his first version of a coaching tree.
Former long-time Ryan assistant, Mike Pettine, is now head coach of the Denver Broncos. It may just have one branch, but the Ryan coaching tree is sprouting. Maybe Thurman is next. Maybe someone else.
Over at the Broncos site, Grant Gunderson went over the top assistant coaches in the country. Did any Jets make the list? Click here to read the whole piece. Here's an excerpt:
10. Jack Del Rio
Sure, he was a head coach before, and I'll tell you what, he'll be one soon again. Despite a so-so head coaching career with the Jaguars, Del Rio has shown he's capable of being the top dog while serving as the defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.
While the defensive unit finished in the middle of the pack in 2013, they lost five very important starters to injured reserve—including star linebacker Von Miller who also was absent during the first six games due to suspension. In 2012, not only did the Broncos tie for first in the league in sacks, but they finished in the top five in nearly every defensive category.
While Broncos head coach John Fox was in the hospital undergoing heart surgery, Del Rio led the team to a 3-1 record as the interim head coach in Fox's absence. In Super Bowl XLVI, the Broncos defense held Marshawn Lynch to just 39 yards and Robert Turbin to 25.
Del Rio will get his shot again, it's just a matter of when.
9. Dave Taub
You don't always hear about special team's coaches all that often, but Dave Taub is the exception.
The former Chicago Bears and current Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator is generating a lot of interest as a head coach. In just a single season, Taub turned around the Chiefs' special teams unit into one of the top three in the entire league. During his tenure with the Bears, each year, the special teams unit finished in the top five of the NFL, taking the top spot in '06 and '07.
Taub also sent five different players to a total of eight Pro Bowls while with the Bears. Also during his time in Chicago, the Bears led the NFL in blocked kicks (24), punt return yards (4,143), punt return touchdowns (15), combined return yardage (punts and kicks – 17, 031) and yards allowed per return (6.8). Don't forget, special teams coaches don't get the Megatron's and Andrew Luck of each position, they get the back-ups and third-stringers.
Taub's success says a lot about him and how he can get the best out of whoever he has to work with and about his ability to carve out the best bottom half of the roster as possible. And while it's not common, jumping from special teams coordinator to head coach has been done and with success I might add–see John Harbaugh.

Virgin Blue Announces Brand New Domestic Route28/01/2005
West Australian Flight Bonanza - New Perth-Kalgoorlie Flight & Increased Broome Services
In its first new route announcement for the year, Australia's multi-award winning low cost carrier, Virgin Blue, has confirmed it will begin direct flights between Perth and the West Australian mining community of Kalgoorlie.
At the same time, the airline has committed to increasing the number of Perth-Broome flights from four a week to daily flights following the steady demand since the service launched five months ago.
The first flight between Perth and Kalgoorlie will launch on April 7 after many months of strong lobbying from the Kalgoorlie community to bring low fares and more competition to the local market.
Virgin Blue Chief Commercial Officer, Stefan Pichler, said, "This new service is the result of the ongoing demand we have had from the people of Kalgoorlie who want the same affordable fares and great service that Virgin Blue has provided to other Australian destinations, including Perth and Broome."
The low fare airline will launch the service with four flights a week (Monday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday) in order to build up its regional relationships one step at a time.
"We are confident travellers will appreciate not only the fantastic airfares, but also the friendly service, modern jets and soon the live television options in the seatbacks that will be on offer to Virgin Blue Guests," Stefan Pichler added.
A special Kalgoorlie-Perth launch fare of $39* one-way on the net (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $39) is up for sale from now until February 11 for travel between April 7 and May 31. Everyday low fares will start from $79* (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $39) one-way on the net while the fully flexible fare will be $229* (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $39) one-way on the net, approximately 20% lower than the competition.
Connections will also be available between Kalgoorlie and Sydney and Melbourne.
Stefan Pichler continued, "We are well aware that some of the mining contracts are already locked away with traditional carriers but are hopeful that the mining, business and local community will take the considerable bottom line benefits into account and put their money where their mouth is by giving us a fair and fighting chance."
Virgin Blue will closely monitor support for the Kalgoorlie flights with a view to increasing them if the demand is there, which has proven the case with the recently launched Perth-Broome flights. After just five months, Virgin Blue has announced it will go from four flights a week to daily from May 1, just in time to bring more visitors to the Broome region for its peak tourist season.
It follows steady support for the initial direct services between the two WA destinations with solid loads giving Virgin Blue the confidence to go daily and put more affordable seats into the market.
"This is good news for travellers, good news for the WA Tourism industry and good news for the business Guests who will now have a convenient daily service to take advantage of," Stefan Pichler finished.
Perth-Broome flights start from $119* (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $60) one-way on the Internet.
* Fares are one way on the net, or $10 more by phone. A credit card surcharge of an additional $2 per person per one way flight is applicable. Taxes, fees and surcharges are correct as at 28 January 2005, and are subject to change. Fares are on sale from now until February 11 or until sold out if earlier, for travel between April 7 and May 31, 2005. Perth-Broome fares are available from now until 23 March 2005.

Statement of the Netherlands in the framework of the UN Commission on Social Development
Statement of the Netherlands in the framework of the UN Commission on Social Development (11 - 21 February 2014) on promoting empowerment of people in achieving poverty eradication, social integration and full employment and decent work for all
Statement by
Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
Commission for Social Development
Agenda item 3A Priority theme: Promoting empowerment of people in achieving poverty
eradication, social integration and full employment and decent work for all
New York, 12 February 2014
Mme Chair,
The Netherlands aligns itself with the statement made by Greece on behalf of the EU. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the views of the Netherlands on empowerment of people. And, more specifically, on the role of private companies in this respect.
Empowerment of people, how can we contribute to this objective? Goals and instruments of empowerment policy vary of course with the level of development of a society.
In the Netherlands, the government has chosen the so called 'participatory society' as a central empowerment policy goal. The central objective is active involvement of citizens, above all in paid employment. At the same time, a well functioning social security system is a necessary element in this approach. As well as a clear division between responsibilities and roles of all parties concerned: the government, social partners, civil society and, last but not least, private companies.
Today, I do not want to focus on the situation in the Netherlands but rather on global challenges. In particular I want to focus on the role of private companies in empowerment. Although companies are not always on the forefront of our debates about empowerment, they do have an important role to play to empower employees. They can do this by creating good working conditions. For example, by contributing to freedom of association, by preventing and eradicating forced labour and child labour, and by ensuring payment of adequate wagens (sometimes called living wages). In other words, they should make sure decent work is offered. Through their business conduct companies can change the livelihoods of the people working for them. And thus, support the achievement of United Nations policy goals.
In today's global economy, this is a complex issue. The world is changing, more and more countries and people are involved in producing products. The value chain is getting more global and complex. Improving working conditions in the supply chain is hard work. There are hopeful signs that a constantly growing number of multinational companies do take up their responsibilities and make positive social changes in their global supply chain. The question is how we can further contribute to this.
Obviously, the company itself is the starting point: a company should spread its own values and standards throughout its whole global supply chain. Socially responsible businesses take actions to improve the working conditions of all workers in their supply chain.
Such actions often go beyond legal obligations.
However, governments and multilateral organisations as the United Nations do have a role to play. They should support the enterprise by creating the preconditions. They should take up an agenda setting, stimulating and supportive role. And they should also make companies aware of already existing guidelines, like the UN Guiding Principles on Businesses and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the ILO MNE Declaration. These guidelines can support companies in setting up their corporate social responsibility policy.
Providing positive incentives, support and solutions to companies based on the normative framework of multilateral organisations can lead to sustainable and productive cooperation between public and private actors.
Many companies are already involved in the UN Global Compact, a network of businesses who are actively engaged in corporate social responsibility. And one of the main current goals of the ILO is a wider engagement with private enterprises. More direct engagement with the private sector will contribute to achieving decent work outcomes, all over the world. And thereby contribute to the empowerment of people.
Cooperation between enterprises and multilateral organisations is important. We believe that linking the needs of companies to the expertise and services supplied by UN organisations, like the ILO, can and will give a considerable boost to the actions taken by private companies to deal with social and labour issues in their global supply chain.
In the discussion about the post-2015 development goals, companies should be stimulated to take up their responsibilities. With this I do not mean that we should look to the private sector as an alternative sources of funding. We should look at businesses as strategic partners in mutually beneficial relationships.
To quote mr. Paul Polman, ceo of Unilever and member of the UN High level panel on the post-2015 development agenda: 'Business is a critical enabler of inclusive economic growth and job creation, which is key to unlocking human potential and poverty reduction'.
Mme Chair,
In conclusion, private companies play an important role in the empowerment of people. They should take up their responsibilities, within the framework of employment and other social policies and norms promoted by the United Nations, the ILO, and the OECD.
Therefore the Netherlands want to call upon the UN Commission for Social Development, to collaborate with partners such as UN Global Compact and the ILO with the aim of enhancing its focus on what businesses can do in the context of social policy issues and the social perspective of development.
Thank you very much.

Home ⋅ Unique Baby Shower Invitations ⋅ Baby Shower Invitations for Twins, Triples or Multiples ⋅ Neutral
"My best friend is having twin boys and this was the perfect invite for her themed baby shower. I love the simplicty of the card and the quality of the paper."
"I customized the border colors and had some troubles with the exact wording - customer service calle me first! The representatives were very helpful and very patient - thank you so much! And the final invitation was absolutely adorable!"
"I absolutely loved my baby shower invitations! I was nervous to order invitations online at first but thankfully I was not disappointed with my purchase. My invitations were delivered quickly and in great condition. I even had help from customer service who helped make a few corrections on my invitations before they were mailed to me. The card and color quality was great. They were exactly what I wanted. Everyone loved my invitations and I definitely will return to this site for future purchases."
"I had a hard time finding gender neutral invitations for my friend's twin baby shower. These were exactly what I was looking for- cute and reasonably priced. Best of all, they were delivered well ahead of the promised print date. I would definitely order again!"
"Everyone who received this card as a 'twins' shower invitation was asking where I got this card! This is a 'perfect' card for twins -- in fact, our whole baby shower THEME was built around this card! We ordered cupcakes with two peas in the pod on them! I was thrilled with the level of customer service received as one of the designers called me to confirm some wording on my card! It can't get any better than that! I did draw little eyelashes on one of the peas (since the mum to be is having one girl and one boy!) These cards are unique and high quality! I was thrilled with the opportunity to get custom printing at a non-custom price! THANK YOU TINY PRINTS!"

This link provides information on maximum allowable contribution (MAC) amounts. However, you may be either unwilling or unable to contribute the maximum allowable amount. You must decide how much you would like to contribute to the plan each month based on your financial goals and your budget constraints. Keep in mind that the tax deferred nature of these contributions means that your net pay is not reduced by the full amount of your contribution. Final determination of the impact of tax deferred contributions on net pay depends on your federal and state marginal tax rates. For additional information, see net pay impact illustrations. For personalized calculations, paycheck evaluation software is useful. Online calculators for various purposes are available on the useful links page. For a personal MAC calculation or if you have additional questions, contact us.
You may make monthly contributions to one or more investment companies on this List of Vendors for Federal Way Public Schools. Your research into which companies best meet your need may be aided by visits to company and agent links available at the vendor site.
Your paperwork must be completed with your selected vendor and you must submit to
Payroll at
Federal Way documentation that an account has been established.
Complete your
403(b) Salary Reduction Agreement
online, print it, sign it, and submit it to

Employees need to deliver the Federal Way-approved Salary Reduction Agreement by the deadline established by Federal Way for a month in order for the amount to be deducted from that month's payroll. Salary Reduction Agreements must be submitted to the Payroll Office by the Payroll Cutoff Date of a given month to become effective that month.
The most recent 403(b) Salary Reduction Agreement (SRA) document on file at Federal Way Public Schools remains in effect until you cancel the agreement, change the contribution amount, or change the vendor. One or more of these three actions requires submission of a new 403(b) Salary Reduction Agreement.
Federal Way Public Schools is required to avoid contributions that might exceed IRS limits. Consequently, the 403(b) SRA stipulates that Federal Way may reduce and/or suspend contributions as necessary to avoid excess deferrals. CCC monitors year-to-date contributions each month and notifies Federal Way when such reductions and suspensions are required. Prior to an actual reduction and/or suspension, you are given the opportunity to review the data on which the decision to reduce/suspend was made to verify its accuracy.

Update: Suspect's father arrested in connection with home invasion
Deputies: Man shoots stepsister, stepbrother during home invasion
PAMLICO COUNTY - Update: A home invasion suspect's father turned himself into deputies Saturday night. He's suspected of having in an involvement in the robbery, home invasion and shooting of his step-son and step-daughter Saturday morning.
Brian Quarles, 56, is being held in Pamlico County prison under $50,000 bond. He is charged with felony accessory after the fact and false report to police station resisting public officers.
Previous Story: A man who invaded a Pamlico County home and shot two people Saturday morning is a family member, according to Pamlico County Sheriff Bill Sawyer.
Deputies arrested Antonio Quarles Saturday night.
He allegedly invaded his father's Mill Pond Road home Saturday morning and shot his stepbrother and stepsister.
Deputies were called to the home on, near Bayboro, at approximately 9 a.m.
The owner of the home, Brian Quarles, was working on his car outside the home when the gunman went into the home, according to investigators.
The gunman demanded that Quarles open a safe in the home, investigators said.
When Quarles refused, the gunman shot his stepdaughter in her leg.
Quarles continued to refuse to open the safe, which led to the gunman to shoot Quarles' stepson in his leg.
Both stepchildren are in their 20s.
Quarles then got into a fight with the gunman; the attacker bit Quarles in his back, investigators said.
The attacker then ran away.
That's the story the homeowner allegedly told deputies.
As of Saturday night, deputies plan to charge the father as well, who allegedly helped his son escape.
It is not clear if anything was taken.
All three victims went to the hospital.
The victims' injuries are not considered life-threatening.

|In response to Re: copper pipe size in treatment system
: Gary
: Quality Water Associates
Hi Gary,
RE:We water treatment guys use flow controls when needed, not undersized tubing and for a solution feeder, there is no need to control the flow.
Many times rather then go for a mechanical device like "flow control devices" we can do it math mathematically.
For example if a filter has a rating of no more then 20 GPM to remove sediment all one would have to do is find the in coming pressure.
Lets assume that the available pressure is 65 PSI and we are running 3/4 lines, the volume flowing would hover around 39.37 GPM thus rendering the filter useless.
Now if the installer used 1/2" prior to going into this filter the VOLUME flowing through this piping would be 17.5 GPM still well with in the filters capacity to remove sediment without causing undo turbulence.
This is especially true on acid crock systems, like a floor drain in a battery room or in a laboratory where this acidic waste has to be controlled prior to entering the neutralizing tank.
Too fast and the marble chips will not have time to do their job and not every installation has room to have a holding tank.
Thus we have to depend on piping sized to reduce volume rather then figuring baffles or mechanical devices that are prone to failure
Older heating steam and hydronics depended on piping being increased or decreased depending on what the condition needed.
Hey its just another train of thought

Since releasing his debut EP on Symbols Recordings, Druid Cloak has put out two other EPs, Athene's Hollow and Bastion of the Sterling Thrones, while staying busy with touring and strong remixes/mixtapes. He now introduces his forthcoming offering, Return To The Grove, that accentuates his signature genre-defying sound.
Druid Cloak manages to infuse a human element into these intricate productions that range from smooth, sub-bass house to percussive downtempo. In addition to his tracks, the dirtybird-affiliated Kill Frenzy rounds out the release with a ghettofied remix of "Hearthstone." Have a listen to Druid Cloak's Return To The Grove EP below and if you're in town, come out to the Lyric Theatre tomorrow night, October 4th, for his Los Angeles debut performance (I'll be there :D).

By Manny A. Alas, David Jansen, and Laura LaybournBribery used to be thought of as necessary to doing business in certain markets. Now, at home and overseas, governments are undertaking corruption crackdowns—with serious consequences for both companies and executives. Yet there's more at stake than just liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other global laws. Partner Manny A. Alas, Principal David Jansen, and Director Laura Laybourn, anticorruption specialists in PwC's Forensic Services practice, believe that how companies develop and implement their anticorruption strategies will be the key to seizing global opportunities.
What company leaders don't know can hurt them. They are being held accountable even when they have no specific knowledge of the wrongdoing.
It's a question that's often asked: What are CEOs most concerned about? The company's managers, shareholders, and suppliers probably run through this guessing game regularly. Not a day goes by when company leaders don't assess their own short lists of unique opportunities and challenges. But there's one serious risk that many may be overlooking: being unprepared for a new era of international anticorruption enforcement.
Doing business in emerging markets is the norm in today's global economy, but the rules of engagement have changed significantly over the past few years. Governments around the world are taking tougher stances on corrupt business practices like bribery and money laundering. For example, in the United States, longstanding regulations that saw little play are now beginning to be applied. In Germany, renewed focus on anticorruption enforcement has sent shock waves throughout Europe.
While many companies have anticorruption compliance programs in place, the programs are often outdated or merely "paper" programs that are not effectively implemented throughout the company. Many organizations take reactive approaches to situations; that is, only when a problem or, say, an enforcement inquiry arises do they mobilize resources and begin to address potential corruption issues. Such an approach most often results in a necessarily increased investment of time and cost and also results in business disruption.
In a PwC survey of executives of multinational companies, more than 70 percent of respondents say a better understanding of corruption would help them compete more effectively, make better decisions, improve corporate social responsibility, and enter new markets.1 And almost 45 percent of respondents say they have not entered a specific market or pursued a particular opportunity because of corruption risks.
Companies use corporate intelligence—the focused collection and analysis of information for delivering key insights to decision makers—to help them make more-informed business decisions regarding corruption and other risks in emerging markets. In the global economy, business leaders are finding corporate intelligence to be an essential tool in regard to many of their new and ongoing business opportunities, including:
On the surface, the global emphasis on anticorruption seems positive, creating a more level playing field for those doing business in emerging markets. But here's the rub: What company leaders don't know can hurt them. Company leaders are being held accountable—potentially sentenced to jail time, debarred from future business opportunities, fined, and subject to personal lawsuits—even when they have no specific knowledge of the wrongdoing by other company employees or third-party agents and distributors.
27% of those experiencing economic crime in the past 12 months encountered bribery and corruption, which was ranked third behind asset misappropriation and financial statement fraud, according to PwC's 2009 Global Economic Crime Survey.
In one significant settlement in mid-2009 involving a consumer products company, one of the company's subsidiaries was charged with paying bribes to customs officials. In the prosecution by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), not only was the parent company fined, but so were two of its corporate officers. The SEC alleged that the then chief operating officer and chief financial officer, as control persons, failed to adequately supervise management and other personnel who were directly responsible for the company's books, records, and internal controls. Additionally, the company was named in a securities class-action lawsuit and is in negotiations to settle a multimillion-dollar lawsuit by its shareholders.

FAO's new database includes eleven global land cover layers each representing the major land cover classes defined by the FAO andSystem of environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) legend.
It brings global land cover data under one roof for the first time and represents the most-reliable global view of planetary land cover assembled to-date.
This new product collects previously scattered and unharmonized land cover information from around the globe into one centralized database, marking a major improvement in information regarding the physical characteristics of the Earth's surface.
Up to now, one of the major challenges for countries and organizations was to identify, measure and record efficiently a good global overview of land cover.
The GLCSHARE database has been:
Applications of the new database include monitoring of global land cover trends, evaluating the suitability of land for various uses, assessing the impact of climate change on food production, and land-use planning.
The basic concept and principles applied aim to integrate the best land cover data available, from local to global, into one single database using international standards; this task requires the harmonization among different layers and legends to create a consistent product
Available in:
FAO Natural Resources Management and Environment Department (NR) has started a process to gather information on landscape/territorial approaches which are planned, being implemented or have been finalized to identify opportunities to improve synergies and collaborate more effectively to strengthen support to member countries and partners in this regard. As part of this process a pilot survey was undertaken in February 2013. A summary of the results from the pilot survey is available for your reference.
This further survey is to collect further information on the diverse landscape/territorial initiatives to obtain a more complete representation of the suite of work under-taken and, thereby, to effectively inform and facilitate this harmonization and outreach process.We welcome an active response from relevant FAO technical/officers, project staff and your direct partners (-> Survey closes July 24)Thank you for your cooperation.

The review highlights the significant untapped potential for climate change mitigation and adaptation associated with improved management of grazing lands in pastoral systems and rangelands. Grasslands and rangelands deserve greater attention, not only for their large extent, widespread degradation and limited resilience to drought and desertification, but also for their potential capacity to sequester and store carbon in soils. Degradation of the land base negatively affects the accumulation of carbon in the soils. Thus, reversing land degradation in extensive dryland areas through improved pasture and rangeland management would contribute to restoring the soil carbon sink while also improving livelihoods of pastoral and agropastoral peoples. The review also highlights the multiple benefits of enhancing ecosystem services and processes for improving livelihoods while contributing to adaptation to climate change impacts. Realizing this potential will require increased awareness and coordinated global efforts alongside interventions that address associated socio-political and economic barriers, such as land tenure constraints and inadequate services for, and political marginalization of, pastoral and agropastoral communities. The opportunity to support climate change mitigation in drylands that will simultaneously contribute to climate change adaptation and reduced vulnerability of pastoral societies should be a key area of focus in post-Kyoto mechanisms.
The guidelines for constructing small-scale map legends using the World Reference Base for Soil Resources is now ready. In this addendum to the WRB 2006, the guidelines are provided to construct map units (or soil typological units) and map legends for scales of 1:250 000 and smaller.

World > Countries > Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is located on the western shore of the Caspian Sea at the southeast extremity of the Caucasus. The region is a mountainous country, and only about 7% of it is arable land. The Kura River Valley is the area's major agricultural zone.
Constitutional republic.
Northern Azerbaijan was known as Caucasian Albania in ancient times. The area was the site of many conflicts involving Arabs, Kazars, and Turks. After the 11th century, the territory became dominated by Turks and eventually was a stronghold of the Shiite Muslim religion and Islamic culture. The territory of Soviet Azerbaijan was acquired by Russia from Persia through the Treaty of Gulistan in 1813 and the Treaty of Turkamanchai in 1828.
After the Bolshevik Revolution, Azerbaijan declared its independence from Russia in May 1918. The republic was reconquered by the Red Army in 1920 and was annexed into the Transcaucasian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1922. It was later reestablished as a separate Soviet Republic on Dec. 5, 1936. Azerbaijan declared independence from the collapsing Soviet Union on Aug. 30, 1991.
Since 1988, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been feuding over the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. The majority of the enclave's inhabitants are Armenian Christians agitating to secede from the predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan and join with Armenia. War broke out in 1988 when Nagorno-Karabakh tried to break away and annex itself to Armenia, and 30,000 died before a cease-fire agreement was reached in 1994, with Armenia regaining its hold over the disputed enclave. Final plans on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh have yet to be determined.
