text: I know that Turkey and Turkey Hunting magazine is no longer published, and what a shame that truly is, all turkey hunters have now is NWTF and a few articles in a few other hit and miss magazines. With the wealth on knowledge on turkey and turkey hunting that i have seen on several turkey hunting forums that alot of you guys have, it sure would be wonderful if someone could start us up a magazine. Does anyone know if they will produce the Turkey and Turkey Hunting Spring issue with all the different calls, shells, clothes, hunting outfitters, etc. ?

MySQL in Big Data and IoT
When Big Data is distilled and analyzed in combination with traditional enterprise data, organizations can develop a more thorough and insightful understanding of their business, which can lead to enhanced productivity, a stronger competitive position and greater innovation - all of which can have a significant impact on the bottom line.
For example, use of social media and web log files from their ecommerce sites can help retailers understand who didn't buy and why they chose not to, information not formerly available to them. This can enable much more effective micro customer segmentation and targeted marketing campaigns, as well as improve supply chain efficiencies through more accurate demand planning. Other common use cases include sentiment analysis, marketing campaign analysis, customer churn modelling, fraud detection, Research and Development, risk modeling, and more ...
The Big Data imperative is compounded by the Internet of Things, generating an enormous amount of additional data.
In the Internet of Things, things talk to things, and processes have two-way interconnectivity so they can interoperate both locally and globally. Decisions can be made according to predetermined rules, and the resulting actions happen automatically - without the need for human intervention. These new interactions are driving tremendous opportunities for new services. Gartner estimates the total economic value-add from the Internet of Things across industries will reach US$1.9 trillion worldwide in 20201.
MySQL is the leading open source database for Web-based and Cloud-based applications; and is integrated within numerous Big Data platforms. As Big Data and the Internet of Things generate significant transformations in the way organizations capture and analyze new and diverse data streams, find out how using MySQL solutions with Hadoop can enable you to yield more insight than was ever previously imaginable.

Matewan council hears from Appalachian Wireless
Nov 14, 2012 (Williamson Daily News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of two articles covering the Nov. 13, meeting of the Matewan Town Council.) MATEWAN -- The Matewan Town Council heard from two representatives with Appalachian Wireless about expanding the company's cell phone service to the area.
Lynn Haney, compliance coordinator, and Marty Thacker, tower consultant, spoke with the council about constructing six antennas atop the town's 143-foot tall water tower on the King Coal Highway across from Mingo Central High School.
Mayor Sheila Kessler said that the town's attorney, Ron Flora, had questions regarding the lease, which would last 15 years and featured a rent increase every five. Haney said that the questions had been answered, which were given to the council to look over.
Thacker said that the construction "shouldn't affect the use of the water tank." "If it did affect it, we would cease construction until the problem was solved," he said.
Councilman David Smith asked if the lease was exclusive to Appalachian Wireless, to which Thacker replied that it was not, and that the town could "rent to someone else if it so desires." However, one of the major sticking points for the council was a fact that Smith brought up: The council can't sign agreements that go outside of their term limits. The mayor and council members serve four-year terms.
"There is language that could be used to get around that though," Smith said.
The councilman went on to say that he was "more concerned with that than anything else." The mayor also mentioned that there was no way for the town to terminate the lease, instead only a way for Appalachian Wireless to do so.
"You could see how we would be hesitant to sign a 15-year lease that you can terminate, but we can't," Kessler said.
She said that she would email Flora to get his input regarding the matter and that both of them would contact Haney directly afterwards.
While no action was taken by the council, it was decided that they would conduct a special meeting at a date to be determined to further discuss the matter before the next regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 11. Despite having a few issues with the lease, most of the council seemed excited at the prospect of having reliable cell phone service in the area.
Kessler told the Daily News that cell phone service in Matewan was spotty, and that an Appalachian Wireless tower would be a boon to the community.

For Turkey, world's leading jailer, a path forward
Turkey has no business being the world's leading jailer of journalists. But the numbers don't lie. With 49 journalists imprisoned for their work, according to CPJ's annual worldwide prison census, released today, Turkey holds more individuals behind bars than Iran (45), China (32), or Eritrea (28). How did Turkey find itself in this situation? Unlike the other countries that top CPJ's imprisoned list, Turkey has a relatively open and vibrant media. It is an emerging democracy, a NATO member, and a candidate for European Union integration.

Got my order way fast! Thanks Naps!
It's been a few years since I've used Naps. Processing speed is faster now than before.
So I ordered 10 vials of geneza tren ace all from the same lot. 2 of the vials are darker than the rest. I know when I've made tren from Fina pellets it was always this dark and cloudy. Some say humidity?
I'm just curious why it's not all the same if it's from the same lot. Any ideas?

Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a children's illness characterized by fever, rash, swelling of the hands and feet, irritation and redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips and throat.
These immediate effects of Kawasaki disease are rarely serious; however, long-term heart complications result in some cases and can be seen as early as two weeks after onset of the disease.
Named after Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki, a Japanese pediatrician, the disease has probably been in existence for a long time, but was not recognized as a separate entity until 1967. The incidence is higher in Japan than in any other country. In the United States it is more frequent among children of Asian-American background, but can occur in any racial or ethnic group.
The disease is relatively common, and in the United States it is a major cause of heart disease in children. In recent years, it has tended to occur in localized outbreaks, most often in the late winter or spring, but is seen year-round. Kawasaki disease almost always affects children; most patients are under 5 years old, and the average age is about 2. Boys develop the illness almost twice as often as girls.
The heart may be affected in as many as one of five children who develop Kawasaki disease. Damage sometimes occurs to the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) and to the heart muscle itself. A weakening of a coronary artery can result in an enlargement or swelling of the blood vessel wall (an aneurysm). Infants less than 1 year old are usually the most seriously ill and are at greatest risk for heart involvement. The acute phase of Kawasaki disease commonly lasts 10 to 14 days or more. Most children recover fully. The likelihood of developing coronary artery disease later in life is not known, and remains the subject of medical investigation.
The cause of Kawasaki disease is unknown. It does not appear to be hereditary or contagious. Because the illness frequently occurs in outbreaks, an infectious agent (such as a virus) is the likely cause. It is very rare for more than one child in a family to develop Kawasaki disease.

"Old Whitey is w/o a doubt the best vehicle I've ever owned!! Recently, Old Whitey and I clicked off another hundred grand for the fourth time, see attached photo! Today (December 7th 2013) Old Whitey rolled over 403,000.00 miles. It has all original running gear. Over the years my boy and I have provided general maintenance. Every 2500 miles we change oil with Rotella 15W40 and AC1218 filter. It's driven with a light foot, but once weekly Old Whitey and I push the pedal down and clean out any cobs that might have been building up. Recently, on a trip Old Whitey pulled off 16.25 mpg – The best we've ever got. Overall, I wouldn't trade Old Whitey for a brand new rig, not in a million years!"

"When Chevrolet engineered this vehicle, they got it right. The comparably short wheel base and power options make it a formidable tow rig, and the exemplary comfort of the leather-appointed cabin and tinted windows, remarkable sound system and third row of seats make it a great people-hauler too, while still having enough cargo space in the back to carry a lot of extra stuff. Unlike most SUVs, this is not a station wagon, as it can haul an easy 5000 pounds without missing a beat. I have had mine for 7 years, putting more than 190,000 miles on it, with occasional wear-related repairs. The average cost of ownership has been vastly less than a boxy, poor-handling newer car would be. Other cars have come in and out of my life since I bought The Beast (as it's known), and with the only exception being a Cadillac STS, it has outpaced all of them in terms of comfort. In fact, it is more comfortable than the low-slung Caddy seats were, and has taken use without complaint, unlike the same Caddy. It's practical, good-looking, comfortable, and fun to drive. It handles Vermont's worst winter weather like a champ (I do mount studded snow tires) and cruises reasonably easily over our rutted dirt roads, too. Last but not least I have to mention its fuel economy (stop laughing). My truck gets approximately 16.5 miles per gallon, respectable for any larger vehicle, particularly when taken into account the fact that GM predicted 13-15 for a brand new Suburban 1500. And the EPA actually says its emissions are reasonable, and far less than a lot of newer vehicles with smaller engines. How do I love my Suburban? Let me count the ways."

A tidy lattice is the key to computing with quantum fields
Brian Hayes
Understanding the low-energy or long-range properties of quark matter is the problem that lattice QCD was invented to address, starting in the mid-1970s. A number of physicists had a hand in developing the technique, but the key figure was Kenneth G. Wilson, now of Ohio State University. It's not an accident that Wilson had been working on problems in solid-state physics and statistical mechanics, where many systems come equipped with a natural lattice, namely that of a crystal.
Introducing an artificial lattice of discrete points is a common strategy for simplifying physical problems. For example, models for weather forecasting establish a grid of points in latitude, longitude and altitude where variables such as temperature and wind direction are evaluated. In QCD the lattice is four-dimensional: Each node represents both a point in space and an instant in time. Thus a particle standing still in space hops along the lattice parallel to the time axis.
It needs to be emphasized that the lattice in QCD is an artificial construct, just as it is in a weather model. No one is suggesting that spacetime really has such a rectilinear gridlike structure. To get rigorous results from lattice studies, you have to consider the limiting behavior as the lattice spacing
goes to zero. (But there are many interesting approximate results that do not require taking the limit.)
One obvious advantage of a lattice is that it helps to tame infinities. In continuous spacetime, quarks and gluons can roam anywhere; even with a finite number of particles, the system has infinitely many possible states. If a lattice has a finite number of nodes and links, the number of quark-and-gluon configurations has a definite bound. In principle, you can enumerate all states.
As it turns out, however, the finite number of configurations is not the biggest benefit of introducing a lattice. More important is enforcing a minimum dimension—namely the lattice spacing
. By eliminating all interactions at distances less than
the lattice tames a different and more pernicious type of infinity, one where the energy of individual interactions grows without bound.
The most celebrated result of lattice QCD came at the very beginning. The mathematical framework of QCD itself (without the lattice) was formulated in about 1973; this work included the idea that quarks become "asymptotically free" at close range and suggested the hypothesis of confinement at longer range. Just a year later Wilson published evidence of confinement based on a lattice model. What he showed was that color fields on the lattice do not spread out in the way that electromagnetic fields do. As quarks are pulled apart, the color field between them is concentrated in a narrow "flux tube" that maintains a constant cross section. The energy of the flux tube is proportional to its length. Long before the tube reaches macroscopic length, there is enough energy to create a new quark-antiquark pair. The result is that isolated quarks are never seen in the wild; only collections of quarks that are color-neutral can be detected.

JENNINGS — Assistant Superintendent Brian Lejeune was unanimously named superintendent-elect of the Jefferson Davis Parish school system Tuesday.
Lejeune, 54, will replace Superintendent David Clayton, who will retire in July.
"I am looking forward to the challenges and appreciate the opportunity given to me by the board," Lejeune said.
Under a measure approved by the board, Lejeune will serve as superintendent-elect Jan. 1-June 30. Lejeune, who has served two years as assistant superintendent, was the only applicant for the position.
He will officially assume the role of superintendent on July 1, when Clayton retires. At that time, he will be awarded a 31⁄2-year performance contract set to expire Dec. 30, 2016. The board also agreed to advertise for a new assistant superintendent to be appointed in January.
Lejeune said the biggest challenges facing the school system are changes being mandated by the state.
"We need to put those changes in place, then see what we can do to support the teachers and continue to grow and be the best we can be," he said.
Lejeune served as an agriscience teacher at Elton High from 1980 to 1996; principal at Fenton Elementary, 1996-1998; principal at Lacassine High, 1998-2006; and curriculum supervisor, 2006-2011.
He was a nominee for the National High School Principal of the Year in 2006; Louisiana High School Principal of the year in 2006; and the Region 5 High School Principal and Jefferson Davis Parish High School Principal of the Year in 2004-2006.
He was the parish's Middle School Principal of the Year in 2003.

In the works in Oak Cliff, Jefferson Market District could be a boon for the neighborhood's dining scene
Roy Appleton has an exciting scoop on the City Hall Blog: A Bishop Arts District property owner plans to develop a 2-block stretch of nearby Jefferson Boulevard, creating a pedestrian-friendly zone modeled after Barcelona's Las Ramblas. With so much going on dining-wise in Bishop Arts, it would be natural to see some spillover of culinary creativity into this area — the two blocks between Bishop Avenue and Zang Boulevard — which, by the way, is just half a block from one of my favorite restaurants, Mesa Veracruz Coastal Cuisine. (Mesa is half a block to the east on Jefferson.)
I just caught up with Jaretzy Reyes, general manager of family-run Mesa, where her parents, Raul and Olga, are chef-owners. Two weeks ago, the Reyes opened their new back patio, and they're just putting the finishing touches on a great-looking new facade. But she hadn't yet gotten wind of the news. When I read her details from Roy's blog post, she told me she didn't think her dad knew about it yet, either. When asked what she thought, she said, "Man — it's awesome!"
Developer Jim Lake, Jr. is calling the project Jefferson Market District, for now, anyway. It has a nice ring to it.

The most important thing is to make your puppy's crate a place that he/she likes. Never use a crate as punishment. I normally give a treat when I first put the puppy in the crate and have their favorite "blankie" and toy's in there also. I have also found that putting a quilt or sheet (depending on the weather) over the crate (leaving just the door side open up to allow the baby to see out, and you see in), making it more "cave" like, which is a natural environment for a dog. I think it makes them feel more "secure" and "homey" for them.
The first that I see the baby waking up from a nap, he/she is out the door to pottie. Then it's feeding time and within 15 minutes, back out the door for another pottie time. An hour or so after play time (depending on the age of the puppy), I take the baby and back outside for one last "pottie" trip before back to bed for another nap. I continuously repeat these steps till he/she gets the idea that pottie is outside..Be sure to really "praise" the baby after he/she "tinkles" or "poops", and reward with treats.
A puppy really doesn't quite understand all this until he is 10 to 12 weeks old and sometimes even older. Consistency and rewards eventually makes the puppy understand what inside and outside is for. It takes time and alot of keeping one eye open but he/she will catch on...Whatever you do...PLEASE, NEVER USE A CRATE AS PUNISHMENT !!!!!!!
If you have an area that you can enclose with a little paddock fence right off your back door, put the fence up and put the crate door facing out the door (leave the crate door open) so the puppy has access to the outside fenced in area but can also go into his/her crate to sleep. I push my crate up to the sliding glass door, pull the door into the side of the crate and the puppy can go in an out as he/she wants. They train themselves..but of course this can only be done weather permitting!
If you want housebreaking to go quickly, regardless of the method you use, spend as much time as possible with your puppy.
The Rules
Housebreaking Rule Number One: This is The Most Important Rule If you don't catch your puppy doing it then don't punish him for it!
Housebreaking Rule Number Two: Praise your puppy when things go right. Don't let this be a situation where your only action is saying "No" when they are caught in the midst of using the wrong area. If they do it right, let them know! House training your puppy begins with a good feeding and watering routine. Establish set times for eating from the beginning. A young dog needs to eat several times a day so this means that he will also need to eliminate several times daily.
Feedings should be scheduled whenever someone will be home to allow your puppy to the proper elimination location. Your puppy will most likely eliminate within 10-20 minutes after eating. Your housetraining will be most successful if you can take your puppy outside at these times. The focus on housetraining should then be to teaching your puppy where to go. With encouragement, your puppy should soon learn that where to go is outside.
Supervision and confinement are the two most important tools in successful housetraining. Keep him in the room with you, using a leash if necessary to prevent him from wondering off. When you notice restlessness or whining hustle him outside. If you cannot supervise your puppy, confinement may be necessary. Try using child gates or a dog crate. Don't confine the puppy so frequently that it feels isolated. A puppy is a sociable animal and needs to be with people or other pets.

Rokenbok brings together the best of construction toys & radio control (RC) vehicles. It's fun to build and ready to drive! Rokenbok is beneficial to children on numerous levels. It exercises a child's creativity through the design and building of layouts for the RC vehicles, as well as during role-play with the vehicles themselves. Children's hand-eye coordination and understanding of cause-and-effect relationships is developed while working with the Rokenbok hand-held controller to maneuver vehicles through structures. And Rokenbok even helps teach social skills: because Rokenbok works extremely well with group play, children develop a positive approach to cooperative and "team" activities. Building with Rokenbok is easy to learn, yet challenging to master, providing years of fun and stimulation. Play begins with simple layouts and then progresses to more intricate, large-scale worlds. With Rokenbok, the whole room is your child's playground!

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Other than the San Juan lagoons you only need a floater in my experience / opinion. There are thousands of tarpon in the lagoons but they are concentrated and pounded heavily day after day and wise to most offerings. As a change of tactic guides have been running flies deep in nearby channels and beating the odds. Personally I was much more fond of places off the beaten path where tarpon acted like it was the first fly they had ever seen. Certainly a lot more trouble to get to these places. I will probably go on a tarpon hunt in the fall there.
Fly line recommendation for Puerto Rico Tarpon Trip
I have a tarpon trip setup in Puerto Rico next month and the guide recommended at least a sinking tip line. I am bringing a 10wt that has Rio Outbound Tropical on it but he recommended I bring a 8wt as well. I have SA Bonefish intermediate in 8wt, but it has terrible memory and casts poorly in my opinion. I like RIO lines better than SA lines in general because that seem to tangle less, but I would love to be able to use the line for other applications (maybe deeper water bonefish or something). Any ideas on an 8wt tropical line that casts well on a GLoomis GLX, but has at least a sink tip, and might be versatile enough to use on future trips? I am hopeful the technology has progressed in the past couple of years and a good solution is out there.

Snagging tickets to the "Mrs Carter World Tour" was harder than saving up the money to actually afford good seats to the Beyonce in her element. If you were lucky enough to score the sought-after stub then you can testify how electric the Beyonce show is! Bey brought her all female team to Brooklyn, last night, and turned it up in true New York fashion! If you were like me (home, vicariously living the experience through photos of Instagrammers) you want more pics, more videos and more Bey. So here ya go…

I have some questions about the upcoming battle packs just shown at Comic-Con:
Ambush at Abregado (Target) - Who are the 2 Clone Troopers and is the Plo Koon a repack?
Assault on Ryloth (Target) - Who are the 3 Clone Troopers and is the Mace Windu a repack?
Also the helmet shown with Mace doesnt have the coloring on it, I hope HASBRO fixes this.
Rishi Moon Outpost Attack - Who is the Clone Trooper? Also the Commando droid was shown in the slide presentation wearing a helmet along with the clone trooper, but in the hasbro display it wasnt shown with it. Does anyone know if it will include the 2nd helmet?

Scholars of ancient China, other disciplines to gather, May 21-22
Posted May 20, 2004; 04:05 p.m.
Scholars of ancient China and other disciplines will gather for a conference on "Religion, Poetry and Memory in Ancient China" on Friday and Saturday, May 21-22.
The event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday in 202 Jones Hall, is part of a yearlong research and teaching project sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion.
The conference addresses ancient and early medieval Chinese social practices of commemoration and aesthetic display in their religious framework. Beyond disciplinary boundaries, scholars of Chinese religion, literature, art history, archaeology and history will discuss a wide range of texts, artifacts and social settings that jointly created the performative experience of early Chinese religion, aesthetics and cultural memory. In response to the papers on China, specialists in Near Eastern and Biblical studies, classics and music will present an additional set of comments and studies.
The Princeton conference is the first in the burgeoning field of early China studies to discuss the complex interplay of religious ritual, aesthetic expression, and the formation of cultural memory and identity. Its interdisciplinary nature responds to the evidence from large amounts of newly excavated texts and artifacts, while the comments from other fields help integrate the early Chinese case into a broader comparative framework.
Information about the conference is available online. It is organized by Martin Kern , associate professor of East Asian studies, and sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion and the East Asian studies program.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|beats the cold weather we've had here!!! Sounds like a good trip!
Trip Report Eleuthera 3/7-3/13
Great weather. Hot, light to medium breeze.
This was a unique trip because I forgot my gear sling with both of my best fly boxes with all of my Charlies, Gotcha's, and Clousers, etc... Basically all of my bonefish flies.
The only flies I had in my flyrod case where for tarpon, barracuda and some crabs. One of the crabs was like a sort of like a puff with sili legs. That was the only fly I used.
Off to Bert's for the Best in Tarpum Bay to buy a childrens back pack for $12.00 for my gear. I had spare nippers, hemostats, leader and 8# tippet. All set for 5-6 days of fishing.
The unique part was fishing with one type of fly the entire week. I hooked up early at Savannah Sound with decent schoolie sized bones. Took some on my beach in N. Palmetto and even tried a new spot, Twin Coves, and was rewarded. Not to mention to the south of Tippy's. Beautiful waves. Between Twin Cove and south of Tippy's I felt like leaving the rod on the beacn and just swimming. Awesome conditions.
An overall nice trip and an interesting tactic using just one fly.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
With a presidential election looming this fall, mass media and social media will be more focused on policy issues over the next several months than likely at any other point until 2020. We've put together a questionnaire for the candidates to invite them to explain their own policy platforms. We'll let you know what they say, and in the meantime encourage others to ask these questions themselves at campaign events, fundraisers, town halls, or informal appearances.
As a tax-exempt non-profit organization, we are forbidden from endorsing or opposing any candidate for office, so to be clear: we think voters can and should make their own choices. But we also think it's important for voters to know where the candidates stand on a variety of issues implicating digital rights, from the TPP to mass surveillance. These might not be the only issues that matter in choosing a candidate, but they are important to consider.
Here are a few questions that EFF is asking:
The California Department of Justice (CADOJ) is ending its practice of holding meetings in ways that impede the public's ability to meaningfully participate in oversight of the state's sprawling network of police databases. The new reforms, announced in response to EFF advocacy, will allow greater opportunity for Californians to review and comment on policy changes that impact their privacy and civil liberties.
As Congress considers big changes to the Freedom of Information Act, a court's decision on Monday underscores how some of the best ways to fix the ailing transparency statute are really small—like adding a comma.
Last fall in Naji Hamdan v. U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit read the lack of a comma in FOIA's law enforcement exemption to limit public access to investigatory techniques and procedures.
"No Cost" License Plate Readers Are Turning Texas Police into Mobile Debt Collectors and Data Miners
Vigilant Solutions, one of the country's largest brokers of vehicle surveillance technology, is offering a hell of a deal to law enforcement agencies in Texas: a whole suite of automated license plate reader (ALPR) equipment and access to the company's massive databases and analytical tools—and it won't cost the agency a dime.
Even though the technology is marketed as budget neutral, that doesn't mean no one has to pay. Instead, Texas police fund it by gouging people who have outstanding court fines and handing Vigilant all of the data they gather on drivers for nearly unlimited commercial use.
With the U.S. House of Representatives passing a bill this week to amend the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), EFF and a coalition of other groups are calling on members of the Senate [.pdf] to pass a law that meaningfully improves government transparency and accountability through access to federal records.

Climate Changers Argue Record Snow and Cold Caused by Global Warming
The New York Times
February 11, 2010
[efoods]WASHINGTON As millions of people along the East Coast hole up in their snowbound homes, the two sides in the climate-change debate are seizing on the mounting drifts to bolster their arguments.
Skeptics of global warming are using the record-setting snows to mock those who warn of dangerous human-driven climate change this looks more like global cooling, they taunt.
Most climate scientists respond that the ferocious storms are consistent with forecasts that a heating planet will produce more frequent and more intense weather events.
Which could explain why all the snow storms in the U.S. lately could be because of more moisture in atmosphere ---- Floods in Pakastan/Australia because of rains.
[quote=Ken Bora;743240]Roger,

Is this any better?
I dont ever remember that much snow coming down with that much winds. With the 60mph gusts it was sure interesting! Hey R.K. I just talked to Layne who was ploying his half mile long driveway..... He got sooooo stuck he has to climb out his window to get out of the truck!

The HC Interview: Côte d'Ivoire
Ndolamb Ngokwey has been the Humanitarian Coordinator in Côte d'Ivoire since July 2010 and has served with the United Nations since 1986 - most recently as Resident Coordinator/UNDP Resident Representative in Mozambique. He also held many senior posts in UNICEF, including Deputy Regional Director in Abidjan, Area Representative in Barbados, Country Representative in Guinea and Deputy Representative in Senegal and Benin.
Q: Six months after electoral violence devastated so many communities in Côte d'Ivoire, is life returning to normal? How can humanitarian agencies help – and what difficulties do they face?
A: I must say that six months after this crisis, the situation in the country is significantly more stable. In some areas of the West and South, however, tensions remain high and armed attacks against civilians have continued. In spite of these relative improvements, the challenges faced by the Government remain important - among them humanitarian assistance to those most vulnerable, including the protection of civilians, and permitting internally displaced persons and refugees to voluntarily return home safely and securely.
Currently, humanitarian actors are assisting by providing return packages for a voluntary return of displaced persons (either displaced or refugees) to their areas of origin. This works in conjunction with early recovery related activities in host communities, in terms of housing and basic social services.
Q: Many people fled the crisis, but are now starting to return to their homes. What new challenges do they face? And how can we help people who are still displaced get back to normal life?
A: During the crisis, we estimate that 700,000 people left their homes and approximately 200,000 left the country. The majority of these people have taken refuge in host communities, and others in public schools, churches or camps. As of today, it is estimated that over 550,000 people have already returned to their homes.
Yet there are still more than 170,000 Ivorian refugees in neighboring countries, mainly in Liberia, and thousands of people still displaced within the country, mainly in the West. Returnees experience difficulties in getting their lives re-started. In many areas, social services are still not functioning. Agricultural and economic inputs needed to enable people to restart their livelihoods are still more expensive than before and can be difficult to access.
The Ivorian government is increasing its efforts to assist and encourage people to return to their homes. A tripartite agreement has been signed with the government of Liberia and UNHCR to assist Ivorian refugees in Liberia to return to Côte d'Ivoire. Furthermore, a strategic framework has been developed between the government and the humanitarian community in Côte d'Ivoire to assist internally displaced people to return to their villages of origin.
Q: Many parts of the country experienced security challenges both during the crisis and in some areas still today. How do you deal with providing assistance to these areas? How will returnees feel safe in their own homes again?
A: Yes indeed, we faced very serious security and access problems during the peak of the post electoral crisis. Humanitarian actors managed however to address most of the urgent needs. As security conditions improved, they could deploy in the most affected areas to assess the needs and provide assistance. During the peak of the crisis in March, US$10m was secured from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) in order to provide life saving assistance.
Today, although there have been improvements, the humanitarian situation in the western part of the country remains very fragile, due a number of factors - the most important being that many areas remain unsecure. The government has started to deploy police forces and elements of the gendarmerie, but this remains insufficient to ensure a safe environment for the local communities. This hampers the return of IDPs (internally displaced persons) and refugees.
Q: You are working closely with the government to bring more attention to the continuing humanitarian crisis. Is the outside world paying enough attention? What is needed to win their support?
A: Unfortunately, funding needs have not been met. As of 17 October, the Emergency Humanitarian Action Plan (EHAP) for Côte d'Ivoire and neighboring countries affected by the crisis is funded at 34 per cent (total requirement of US$ 292 million). This has resulted in projects being reduced and even cancelled.
With this in mind, I decided to organize jointly with Mr. Gilbert Kafana Kone, State Minister, Minister of Employment, Social Affairs and Solidarity, a European tour from 17th -21st of October to London, Paris, Brussels and Geneva. Its aim was to sensitize the donors on the humanitarian challenges in Côte d'Ivoire, and the need to get additional funding this year and throughout 2012.
Donors expressed their readiness to support the Ivorian authorities to keep the humanitarian situation in Cote d'Ivoire on the international agenda. The Ministry of Employment, Social affairs and Solidarity established a humanitarian coordination committee in order to further enhance the coordination and synergies between the Government, humanitarian actors and donors.

Asato Ma Sat Gamaya
Guess you are new here!Why don't you subscribe to this blog?Free for a limited period!RSS feed. (Ya,Right!!!) I tweet too Twitter
11 years is a long time, but the memories of school are still fresh. Every day started with the assembly. It was part obligatory, part duty, to attend. Through the years, the liking for it grew down exponentially. Whatever, it had a fun element which I miss now; the discipline, the order, saavdhaan and veeshraam, the pledge, the prayer…I miss them all.
Half the time during a year, assembly would be washed away by the rains. Then, the PA systems took control and brought order in chaos to the classrooms where the sounds of Asato Ma Sat Ga Maya wafted through the rooms filled with wet umbrellas.
I never realized the purpose of singing these songs, the prayer, the patriotic songs, the National Anthem etc. Leave the purpose, most of us did not understand the meanings of these songs.(The national anthem's English translation was there in the school diary, but who would read that. :D)
Why was taking the pledge or singing the National Anthem mandatory, that too daily? Come to think of it, most of the school assembly was aimed at building one's love for the nation. Why else was I taught patriotic songs in many languages? No, I am not complaining. I still can sing the Assamese song Ye Matire,moro mote… It doesn't end here.
The melodious Tamil song Odi Vilayaad Paapa, Pillallara Paappallara, the Telugu song with extended hums in between lines….the Kannada song Cheluvina Muddina Makkale, with mmmmm Cheluvina, ooooo Muddinna after every line…aah! writing this I am taken to a different era. No day was complete without the daily dose of news that was read out in the assembly; those days where every morning a new thought for the day was fed into our brains…book reviews and what not!
The Marathi song Aata Udhao Saare Rann, with its conspicuous na sound in Rann… I must have memorized the Sindhi song Muhijo Vatan years before I knew where Sindh was (Okay,I knew about Sindhu Nadi Sabhyata).The Gujarati song, Aakasha Ganga Surya Chandra Taara Sandhya Ushaaa koi na Nathee had to be sung in a tune that could be replicated easily by a tape moving at 0.5X, while the Sanskrit song was Om, Sanghajatwan Samwadatwam…..was very prayer like.
The set of Hindi songs from the classic Saare Jahan Se Acha to Hum Honge Kaamyaab(and it's English version, We shall overcome) and Yeh Waqt Ki awaaz hai milke chalo to the very very slow Hind Desh Ke Niwasi Sabhi Jan ek hai…were not as interesting as the non-Hindi songs, to me at least.
The school anthem, Bharat ka swarnim gaurav Kendriya Vidyalaya layega was another song that crawled through the assembly,once a week.
The main prayer song was Daya Kar daan Vidya, which I realized was in Hindi much later. No wonder I created newer words and unwanted pauses in the already badly tuned song. You won't believe, Paramatma, word in the song was always Para…maa..tmaa for me.
There was the Malayalam song Janmakarini Bharatam which was sung rarely. What about Kashmiri, Bengali and Punjabi?…I don't even remember if we were taught them in our Music classes.
I can go on and on, I can even start singing.No, I spare you
Update: Pages from a KV school diary(with these songs) can be found at [ZIP FILE containing the images] http://bit.ly/kvsongs

Reviews of this property
Two of us stayed here for ten days and were very happy with the apartment. The place is very spacious and bright. Good bed & sofa bed, nice bathroom, good facilities and on a lovely square with a handy location to central Brighton. Dealing with Gavin was extremely easy and no fuss. Would happily stay here again.
Everything was nice and exactly how it was described. Gavin very friendly and uncomplicated. Every time again. Thanx Gavin
Nice and decent apartment in a good location. Easy to get to most places in Brighton.
Fin og grei leilighet med god beliggenhet. Lett å komme seg til de fleste steder i Brighton.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Really nice people and the flat is absolutley beautiful! :D
Great place to stay. We were two adults and a child and the flat is perfect for families, very confortable and spacious. I strongly recommend it.
very disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent quality / price. London is not characterized by prices of affordable accommodation, and this apartment really surprised us for good.
Gavin was very friendly, fast and efficient contact, when we landed we send a text message and to reach the apartment and was waiting. We gave a few pointers to supermarkets, restaurants etc in the area, all very correct.
The apartment, as seen in the photographs, is very spacious with towels, hair dryer ..., the rooms are large, yes, if it bothers the morning light in the room that faces the Street got a problem, because as in England no blinds, curtains in the room that I comment, not totally keep out light. The apartment is on a piece of street that is pedestrian, so no noise at night traffic, a point very supportive.
The journey to the city center: in 20 minutes you get to the London Eye, the bus 53 or 453, or in those 20 minutes to 21, in London Brigde, although there are many more options. From these 2 points and it is a matter of walking or take another bus or subway.
In short we were 4, we were very comfortable, and very comfortable and certainly would repeat.
Relación calidad/precio excelente. Londres no se caracteriza por precios de alojamientos económicos, y la verdad que este apartamento nos sorprendió para bien.
Gavin fue muy amable, el contacto rápido y eficiente, cuando aterrizamos le mandamos un mensaje de texto y al llegar al apartamento ya nos estaba esperando. Nos dio unas cuantas indicaciones de supermercados, restaurantes etc de la zona, todo muy correcto.
El apartamento, tal y como se ve en las fotografías, es muy espacioso, con toallas, secador de pelo..., las habitaciones son grandes, eso sí, si te molesta la luz por la mañana, en la habitación que da a la calle tienes un problema, porque como en toda Inglaterra no hay persianas, y las cortinas de la habitación que os comento, no terminan de impedir que entre la luz. El apartamento esta en un trozo de calle que es peatonal, así que no hay ruido por las noches de tráfico, un punto muy a favor.
El recorrido hasta el centro de la ciudad: en 20 minutos llegas al London Eye, con el bus 53 o 453, o en esos mismos 20 minutos con el 21, en London Brigde, aunque hay muchas más opciones. A partir de esos 2 puntos ya es cuestión de andar o coger otro bus o metro.
En definitiva eramos 4, estuvimos muy cómodos, y muy a gusto y seguramente repetiríamos.
Gavin was super helpful when our last place cancelled on us with a days notice. He was away travelling but still arranged for us to get in.
House is basic but a good size for London! and while not the flashest part of town it's a great location near the buses and we found getting everywhere super simple.
A bit of confusion meant we thought we were staying for one more night and were out in town that day when Gavin let us know we were supposed to vacate. He was remarkably calm when we were racing around throwing gear into our suitcases and had even found another place nearby that we might try for the night.
So, the week was eventful for us but Gavin was fabulous!!.
Good location well served by bus, supermarkets and cafes for quick snacks. Quite close to the center; main tourist destinations within easy reach. Great playground nearby for those traveling with children. Easy key delivery. Apartment corresponding to the photos published with sheets and towels clean and of average quality. Well-equipped kitchen. The apartment is comfortable and spacious for a family of four components but needs maintenance work to exploit its potential. The lock on the bathroom door did not work and cleaning services rather left to be desired. Although we reported these incidents to our arrival we had no response from the owner. Neighbors a bit 'noisy. Overall, however, our stay in the house and in London and 'was pleasant and the quality / price ratio good for London standards. With some small measure, the house would be perfect!
Buona location ben servita da bus, supermercati e localini per spuntini veloci. Piuttosto vicina al centro; principali mete turistiche facilmente raggiungibili. Ottimo il parco giochi nelle immediate vicinanze per chi viaggia con bambini. Facile consegna chiavi. Appartamento corrispondente alle foto pubblicate con lenzuola e asciugamani pulite e di media qualità. Ben accessoriata la cucina. L'appartamento è comodo e spazioso per una famiglia di quattro componenti ma necessita di lavori di manutenzione per sfruttarne le buone potenzialità. La serratura della porta del bagno non funzionava e la pulizia dei servizi lasciava piuttosto a desiderare. Nonostante abbiamo segnalato tali inconvenienti al nostro arrivo non abbiamo avuto risposta dal proprietario. I vicini un po' rumorosi. Nel complesso, comunque, il nostro soggiorno nella casa e a Londra e' stato piacevole e il rapporto qualità/prezzo buono per gli standard londinesi. Con qualche piccolo accorgimento la casa sarebbe perfetta!

I can't believe how many of you sent birthday cards and scripture cards. It is so much fun to hear from you and read the verses you picked out. You made this birthday very special. The cards were fun and will be such a blessing this week.
Abby goes into the oncology clinic Monday morning and will be admitted to the hospital for chemo on Tuesday. She has had most of these chemos before and they were very hard on her. She was admitted to the hospital 2 times for 2 weeks each) to treat mucositis that was caused by these same medications. I am not looking forward to beginning this 30 days of chemo. The Bible verse index cards will be a wonderful reminder of God's grace, power and love. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to me.
Brent made my birthday and Valentine's Day very special. He always does. We were able to go out on a date, for my birthday, because good friends offered to watch our younger children. Many are willing to watch Sami and Landis, but when Abby is especially fragile it takes someone who is comfortable with her medical needs. Scott and Carol have been through much of what we are going through, so they are wonderful with Abby, even when she is pretty sick. The kids LOVE playing at their home. You guys are wonderful.
For my birthday, Brent bought me some clothes. He picked out stuff that I absolutely love AND they fit. How cool is that? How many guys out there know their wife's clothing size (shoes too) and even knows about "petite"? (Note from Brent: thanks honey. So much for my macho image as a former Army Drill Sgt and Black Belt. Now I'm an expert in women's clothes, dirty diapers and doing laundry. I better go take these panty hose off...)
Valentines was so special. I loved the flowers Brent gave me, but my favorite moment was watching Sami and Abby get Valentines from their Daddy. There is something so special about little girls with their Daddy. I know Sami waited a long time to know a father's love. This was her very first Valentine's Day and I am so thankful Brent made it special for her. I am so grateful God let us be her parents.
Photos From Brent
Sami and Abby have become best friends and sisters.
Sami is a WONDERFUL help with the different needs Abby has.
MeeMaw gets a laugh from Abby who was as energetic
today as she has been in many months. It was pretty
mind-boggling that we were concerned about her survival
just one week ago. Praise the Lord, and thank you to our doctors.
SpideyLandis critiques Abby's webslinging technique.
One of our friends makes the scarf/hats for Abby, and sent Landis
a spiderhat to go with Abby's spider-frog hat.
Peter Parker (he's not wearing spidey clothes here) gets
an Oklahoma ear stretch from big brother Garrett.
Yes, it's scares me. She's NINE (almost ten).
Sami's already stunning and that's without a stitch
of makeup or "done" hair. I'm going to to have to
beat the boys off our doorstep.
But lest we forget she's only nine, here's her silly side when I ask her to smile.
Michelle celebrates her "24th" birthday. That's what the candles say...
Abby wants to blow out those candles so bad, she can't stand it.
She looks to Mom to see what kind of trouble she'll get into.
Any wonder why she is so loved? This pictures shows her personality and sweetness.
Sami and Abby posing with Mom's Valentine and Birthday flowers.
What is PawPaw saying?
speechless, and Abby giving him the "you are so busted" look.
We'll choose a winner tomorrow and let everyone know how to go visit your blog.

Flirty fun for Emma, Katy and the Hoff at Coachella
Coachella Festival 2012: All the stars were out from Emma Watson and Rihanna to David Hasselhoff, who arrived in his Knight Rider character's talking car.
Starlets Emma Watson and Lily Collins look festival ready as they attend California's Coachella music extravaganza in flirty frocks.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry got into the party spirit with her best friend Rihanna.
The Firework songstress was perfectly kitted out for the alternative shindig in a sheer floral gown teamed with sturdy boots and newly dyed purple tresses.
Other stars enjoying the entertainment included David Hasselhoff, 59, and his 32-year-old girlfriend Hayley Roberts.
The couple made quite a splash arriving in KITT, the talking car that he drove as the Knight Rider.

Rihanna dress last night
Rihanna dress last night was the showstopper of the CFDA Awards. Since you're not here for words…
The dress, designed by Adam Selman, was composed of 230,000 Swarovski crystals (practical, I know) and Selman told Style.com that the Ri-Ri's look was a collaborative effort. The matching du-rag was Rihanna's idea (and looks fantastic from the side-view above).
As long as I can remember, fashion has been my defense mechanism. As a child I remember thinking, 'She can beat me but she cannot beat my outfit.'

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I was there last year (2006) at the first of Dec. We stayed about 6 miles north of San Pedro in a place called Blue Reef and it was very nice. Prices weren't bad becouse of time of year. All thier amenitys come from the USA so the beds were actually comfortable for a change of most of Belize. One of the nice things about this spot is that there is a very wadeable and productive flat right in frount of the place that had tailing Bonefish in both morning and evening. it is along way from town so if you want night life its not there but I was there to fish and my wife just wanted to relax in the sun. I got a guide 4 of the 7 days we were there(we also dive) I went with Abbie Marin (gofishbelize.com) and would highly recomend him if you are a decent caster, if not you might want someone a little more laid back. I'd fish with him any day. We could find Bones almost any time if you wanted smaller fish and with work you can find some 3-5lbers. My bigest fish, 6lbs, came on my own right out in frount of the lodge. I had shots at Permit 2 days of the 4 and landed 1 of 18 lbs, very nice fish! also Abie was able to get us into Tarpon 2 of the days weather permiting. So I did get my slam on the one day. Poons are all small this time of year about 10-40 lbs max. Weather was cloudy and windy a fair amount but it was still a great time. I wish I was going with you!
I have been there in Oct and Nov. The closer you get to January the more chance of cold fronts, although they can pop up at anytime.
There are excellent bargains to be had at some of the better lodges that time of year since it is not peak season.
I would reccomend Turneffe Flats. The culture at Ambergris is geared towards tourists while Turneffe is more of a wilderness destination. There will be less tarpon at Turneffe but more and bigger bones and world-class permit. The secenery and wildlife is incredible too.
PM me if you want more info.
Late Oct is still the tail end of hurricane season. I know you said you're not concerned about them, but it sounds like you've never been caught in one while on vacation. Trust me, it only has to happen to you once for you to avoid travel at all costs during hurricane season!
Overall the weather will be a little cooler and windier in Dec, but the fishing will probably be about the same.
Belize: Late October or December?
I'm committed to heading for Ambergris Caye in Belize this year. I have two holes in my work schedule: the last two weeks of October, and the first week in December. Any veterans with a recommendation as to which time is the best, factoring in fishing and weather conditions? I hear it rains a ton in October, but December can be windy and rainy when cold fronts from the north pass through. I want to fish five days; a little rain/wind aren't problems, and a day or so waiting out bad weather is okay. I'm not concerned about a hurricane; I know they are rare, but possible. But I would hate to be washed out/blown out the five days I'm down there by more typical seasonal crummy weather. I'll be fly fishing, and while bonefish are the goal I might like to take a little time to chase permit or tarpon, if conditions look promising. Recommendations? Thanks in advance for any help.

text: I have an 8 mo BLM and he has been have some soft stool issues. He had a coccidia bug back in August and ended up taking some antibiotics to get over. He's been back and forth between being normal and soft servish/diarehha. We took him to the vet and they had us try some Purina EN Gastroenteric food (~$22 for 6 lbs). He's been doing a lot better but this food is outrageously expensive. I'm not sure if he's ready for an adult food yet but was thinking about trying a grain free all age food. What is a good all ages grain free food? He's been on Pro Plan Large Puppy since he started eating solid food. Thanks
