Humanitarian Crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Renewed fighting displaces hundreds of thousands of people.
Rape as a Weapon of War
The Democratic Republic of Congo has one of the highest rates of sexual and gender based violence in the world. Here, it is more dangerous to be a woman than a solider. Armed combatants frequently rape women and girls as a weapon of war.

Renewed Fighting Displaces Tens of Thousands of People
August 30, 2013 – The recent spike in violence is the most severe the region has seen since the fall of Goma to armed groups at the end of 2012, from which residents are still recovering. The front line is close now to the town centre, with many fearing a repeat of last November's mass displacement, which has seen up to half a million people uprooted.
CARE is concerned about both the civilians in Goma and the internally displaced people in the camps surrounding the town. We are especially concerned about women and girls as we know that they are the most vulnerable when conflict erupts. The people of North Kivu have already been traumatized by decades of conflict. We urge all parties to protect the civilians and the camps, and ensure there is a space for civilians to flee, if needed, as camp areas are being blocked by the fighting. The UN's peacekeeping mission MONUSCO and the Congolese government need to ensure that the sites in and around Goma obtain effective protection and safety.
July 16, 2013 – Renewed fighting in the troubled eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has led to a new wave of refugees fleeing into neighboring Uganda to search for security. Initial reports by the Uganda Red Cross Society are that as many as 66,000 people have fled and are in need of assistance in Uganda.
Our humanitarian workers on the ground are on high alert and are monitoring the situation. In the DRC, where conflict is a sad reality of daily life, CARE works to provide support to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. We run two projects that treat survivors and aim to stop sexual violence in conflict areas in North Kivu. CARE also supports internally displaced people with food, water and sanitation through cash and voucher programs.
On November 15, 2012, heavy fighting resumed between the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) and the break-away group of soldiers known as "Mouvement du 23 Mars" or M23. Armed clashes occurred in several villages, mainly in Rutshuru Territory in the North Kivu province, just south in Nyiragongo Territory and in the provincial capital of Goma. While a ceasefire has been in hold, there is not a formal agreement in place.
The M23 fighters withdrew from Goma in December 2012. Since then, a ceasefire agreement was reached between the opposing forces. The terms of the agreement currently are being monitored by UN peacekeeping forces, with talks underway to find a more permanent solution for peace. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the situation is still very fragile.
Women are particularly at risk of sexual violence and rape, which has long been used as a weapon of war in the DRC. Looking for firewood and water, women and girls are in constant danger of being attacked, raped and even killed by different armed groups moving around in the area. In Masisi and Rutshuru, CARE teams also report a significant rise in rapes and other acts of violence that are going unreported and untreated due to the deteriorated security situation. This leaves women without access to healthcare or counseling, including post-exposure prophylaxis kits to help prevent the transmission of HIV.
Providing relief and protection to civilians is a priority for the humanitarian community, but insecurity and poor infrastructure makes it challenging to reach affected communities. The area in and around Goma is still reeling from the violent conflict, and CARE is continuing to carry out our emergency response there.
Our Response
We are working with partners in camps in and around Goma to provide psychological assistance to survivors of sexual violence and train community workers on sexual violence protection, prevention and care. We've also provided tens of thousands of families plastic sheeting and non-food items, such as buckets and water jugs; delivered medicine to health centers; constructed public and family latrines; distributed emergency food; and set up a cash and voucher system to help with long-term food security needs.
How CARE works in emergencies
Responding Today, Preparing for Tomorrow
In 2011 alone, CARE reached 12 million people affected by natural disasters, conflict situations and other crises.
Emergency: CARE Is There
In emergencies, CARE is among the first to arrive and the last to leave. When it comes to responding to an emergency, timing is crucial.

Ruelle: Control a method and look other way for cause
December 23, 2012
It is amazing how this country focuses on the methods of horror versus the causes. Guns are a method, not a cause. When the government and media bear down on the mental health issues that cause the methods to be deployed, we will tackle the issue.
Kids were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing by a UHAUL truck and fertilizer (method). Children each year are murdered by mentally ill parents and strangers. The methods are different, the cause is the same, mental illness.
President Obama's children are protected by Secret Service while at school. Do these agents not have guns in their possession when protecting his kids? Every federal building, football stadium, airport and the White House itself have armed guards. Yet, this country fails to accommodate a method to protect our kids or go after the core cause that uses a gun as a method to harm. Our solution? Control a method and look the other way on the cause.

El Nadime Center for the Management and Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence issued a report on torture in Egypt which documented state organized torture of opponents of the regime of President Mubarak. Included in the report is testimony from victims of the 2004 security raids conducted in Al-Arish following the Taba bombings. At that time, 3,000 people were detained, including women and children who were arrested to force their male relatives to come forward. The report also documents the experiences of farmers in the village of Sarando who were subjected to a two-week police campaign to evict them from their own land. The end of the report includes a table with the names of 272 policemen accused of torture by their victims. It details where and when the torture occurred, the victim's identity and which organization documented the incident. Lawyer, Ahmed Seif El Islam of the Hisham Mubarak Law Center which handles torture cases, told the press "we will distribute this list widely to public prosecution offices and provide evidence which can be used in the prosecution of torturers– if there is a willingness to do this."
It should be noted that under America's rendition program individuals accused of being terrorists are frequently sent to Egypt for "interrogation." The CIA and other agencies involved in the rendition program know as well as anyone that torture is a common occurrence in Egypt. Naturally, the Egyptian government and its press allies insist the report is not accurate and is merely an attempt to discredit the Egyptian government and nation.

Is there any easy way to keep mold from growing in the sugar water? Please advise.
I do 5:3 syrup with alittle ACV thrown in. I noticed that after several weeks, I do get some of the black "wispy" mold around the top but the syrup is still good. The humming birds also tend to like this mix although alittle heavy for them. ...DOUGKD4MOJ
What as ACV ??? BEE HAPPY Jim 134 :)
If you boil the water it helps. If you make it 5:3 (or 2:1 if you can) it keeps longer. If you lower the pH (add acid) it keeps longer. I make it 5:3 and add a gram of Vitamin C to the boiling water before adding the sugar for each gallon of resulting syrup.

Evilbay search wildcard removal
Some of you knew exactly what this thread was about after reading the title. Some of you realize what it's about when you see the symbol "*" in the context of the Evilbay search engine. Others are still lost. No worries.
But I wanted to start a thread (which, hopefully, is not in violation of any forum rule) about the fairly new unavailability of an asterisk in Evilbay search engine tools.
I'm not trying to start a venting thread - you can find plenty of those with a simple search. I've read through some of the discussions of the removal of the "*" in searches. I don't understand, or accept, the reasoning for its removal, but that doesn't matter. What I'd like to know is if there are some shortcuts, or work-arounds, that I haven't heard about or understood.
Take this for example: I can no longer search for a certain set of models of MAC solenoid valves. Specifically, anything with the model numbers of 35A-AAA-DF*, many of which are low-wattage solenoid valves, perfectly suited for our uses. If that "F" is followed by A, B, E, or F, it will work for us with minimal modification.
A month ago, a search for "35A-AAA-DFB*" would give me every model with those letters/numerals and everything that follows. Now, that search, with or without the "*", gives me zero results, while searching for "35A-AAA-DFBA" - with just the extra "A" - gives me 4 results. Note: there are *many* possible model numbers with the aforementioned number/letter sets. Also note: a missed model number is "35A-AAA-DFBA-0CA", and the "-" adds some extra complication.
Anyway, please, tell me what I'm missing. Hopefully, it's a strategy by Evilbay that will backfire and they'll reinstate the beautiful asterisk. If not, I need to know the secret handshake that will allow me to keep seeing what I'm looking for.
Yep... evilbay is crap!
Never knew a wildcard was needed. They usually include crap you didn't even intend to search for.
Okay, today's frustration is Concoa regulators. Knowing that many of them are rebranded, it often does no good to search for the manufacturer. So, instead of "regulator 412*", which would have given me every regulator with a model number starting with 412, I now can't see any option other than search for particular model numbers.
Which means that in order to hit on every concoa brand regulator with a model number starting with 412, I need to search for "regulator +(4122301, 4123301...)", with 10 or so more models in the parenthesis. And this doesn't cover all models - there are hundreds of possibilities. All this does is cover the dozen I included based on their usefulness and likelihood of finding them.
On the other hand, you can search for "VTS250" and get a "VTS250C" as one of the results. Probably due to the length of the input and the shortness of the addition of the "C" in the result. Evilbay's helpful search engine is actually occasionally helpful.
Again, if anybody has any helpful suggestions, please let me know!
Okay, I don't have any new information, other than that I've actually (finally) learned to use the "saved searches" feature. I update the searches every few days.
As frustrating as this (IMO ridiculous) change is, it's made me think more in terms of exactly what I am, and am not, looking for. I have saved searches for regulators (minus single-stage, minus voltage regs, minus a bunch of other garbage) from a long list of manufacturers. The same for solenoids, metering valves, and some other crap.
In fact, has anybody else (actually, I'm sure of a couple of you that have) noticed how many people mis-spell "swagelok"? It opens up a small new world of products.
Anyway, it's an evolving experience. And I added several new search terms (+ and -) to my regulator search today.
I've always assumed 1/2 of what I'm looking for is either misspelled or totally listed wrong. Most of the sellers have no idea what they are actually selling.
Okay. Newest frustration. Yesterday, you could do a search for "regulator +(victor, concoa)" and you would get a list of all items that had both "regulator" and "Victor" OR "Concoa" (or both) in the title. Today, the plus sign screws it up, and you get no results. Which means I have to go through all my saved searches and remove the "+" from them. I don't know why. Fortunately, the fix is simple - just remove the "+" before all parenthesis, and the searches work fine. Still, obnoxious.
I originally used the "+" to all saved searches because I'd seem some write-ups on the new search rules that included it.

Hello, I've just recently become interested in reading and creating zines. I hope I can learn something on here and maybe share some ideas.
I am currently working with friends on a zine. We are calling the zine "FREE", because it is free and freedom in many different forms is the underlying theme that loosely ties it all together. So far it will mostly be available in various regular & random locations in Philadelphia and parts of South Jersey. We are hoping to save some for trade outside our geographic area though :)
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation).
Zines for the exhibition please send air mail:
"Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine. mailposht[.]gmail[.]com

Got ancestors in Lincolnshire then this website will be of interest to you. http://www.lincoln-record-society.org.uk/
The Society was founded in 1910 to print records and documents relating to the ancient county and diocese of Lincoln. The ancient diocese covered not only Lincolnshire, the second largest county of England, but also the wide area which lay within the medieval diocese: the counties of Lincoln, Leicester, Northampton, Rutland, Oxford, Bedford, Buckingham, Huntingdon and northern Hertford. Since 1910 the Society has published ninety five volumes many of which are still in print.
The Society has individual and institutional members from around the world including many leading university and national libraries. Its aim is to publish one volume each year and it always welcomes ideas for new projects. Early volumes were often published in Latin but today its policy is to publish in English whenever possible, or otherwise to provide an English summary.
The Lincolnshire Society's latest publication is "The Correspondence of the Spalding Gentlemen's Society 1710-1761".
Many counties have their own Record Societies and they can be very worth while tracking down.

Re: Going to BVI! Bring cash?
There's no doubt banks are adept at making profits, which is what they are after all chartered to do. Onceuponatime there were "banks" and "savings & loans" and the two ran differently, but that difference was abolished decades ago.
Some of the credit card companies like Amex*, will ding the merchant for 3% and a 30-day float on their funds, and between those two profits they can make enough to fully absorb any currency conversion fee. Or, they may have a system set up where they can internally transfer funds and do that for "zero" real effective cost.
I don't ask how the magic works, and I wouldn't sleep with any of them, but sometimes, some rare times, if you are careful about it you can get a much better deal with one than with another. Last time I used Amex, instead of paying a merchant with discounted dollars, there were zero fees charged to me, and the exchange I was given was the official government rate. Sure, you can often do 10-15% better than that--but not without chasing down a black market and worrying about other problems.
*Amex now issues some credit cards, but they used to be adamant about the fact that a full Amex card was not and is not a credit card, it was due and payable in full every time.
Sometimes, they count on customers coming onboard because of a special, and like grocery stores they DO run loss-leaders. The trick is, buy the loss leader and don't fall for the traps.

Some will, in fact, give you the best commercial exchange rate, but charge a fee each time for their effort. That fee really ticks some customers off.
Others will claim they have no fee. However, they bury it into the exchange rate you actually get. With it buried, its actually very easy for them to get more than the flat fee others charge. Exchange rates change so often and are so variable from the counter at the airport, to a local bank to an ATM, you would have to be a pretty sophisticated customer to know what they altered their real exchange rate by.
Ironically, the fee is usually much more transparent.
However, the real killers will charge the fee and mess with the exchange rate. If it has a "big bank" logo on it, I would be suspicious. Maybe that's just me.
Re: Going to BVI! Bring cash?
I am not a charter but a Caribbean liveaboard.
Most credit cards will work most of the time. BUT I always keep enough cash to get buy for a week or two. EG cards have been refused all over Grenada recently due to some banking connectivity problem/
I always have at least two cards from different banks one a Visa one Mastercard. Tell/warn your bank you are going to the BVIs.
Some people will leave a wallet containing about 20$ in 1 s bills plus some useless cards in a prominent place.
If you are already down there try to get to Trellis Bay for this Fridays full moon party.
Re: Going to BVI! Bring cash?
Check your cards. I think Discover, Capital One, and Amex all currently offer at least some cards with no penalty for foreign exchange, they will convert every transaction at the official rate at the end of day (check on whether it is eod or end of cycle). If there are no penalties for foreign currency, and you aren't already a customer, tell them you've got a trip, a deadline, and if they can expedite things you'll open an account. And make sure that if it needs a different PIN, etc. to be used there, that they take care of that as well. (Sometimes you "must" have a 4-digit pin, sometimes 6, ask ahead.)
Cash is always good but plastic often safer.

We managed on around $60 per day...but ran a bit short towards the end. We did use credit cards for restaurants and a car rental (to get to the trail going up Virgin gorda). Mooring balls were $30 per night I believe, but its the ice that will get you - $7 per bag!
Oh, if you get some charcoal briquets for the trip - don't get the self igniting ones - they don't work. had to buy some starter from one of the supply boats that coome around at probably double the price.

Re: Going to BVI! Bring cash?
There have been a number of boat breakins in the BVI of late, both at anchor and at the docks of the charter companies. Recently 3 were caught and arrested (Moorings docks) so it might be a bit better. But the recommendation is to keep valuables, particularly those easily converted to cash such as phones, iPads, etc.) hidden and to lock the boat when not aboard.
There are cash machines dispersed around the islands - several in Road Town, one at Nanny Cay and Soper's Hole and the airport (Trellis Bay) and 2 or 3 in Spanish Town. I'm fairly certain the one in Cane Garden Bay is working again. None on Jost or Anegada as far as I know. Often the machines at Nanny Cay and Soper's are empty or out-of-commission, so keep a bit of buffer amount of cash. Most places one can reach from a boat accept credit cards. Sometimes the phone connections don't work and the places don't want to use their old-fashioned mechanical imprint machines so you might still have to pay cash despite being in a place that accepts cards.
My CC company considers the BVI to be "foreign" and I get charged a surcharge when I use the card there; and it is best to give the CC company a heads-up travel advisory prior to travelling , particularly if you don't travel overseas much, in order to prevent their fraud-detection algorithms to kick in and temporarily block your card.
Re: Going to BVI! Bring cash?
I've not heard of boat break-ins, but I always separate and hide my cash, so they are less likely to find it all. Not that we bring too much, but we do take moorings nearly everyday. Although, the ones you go to shore to pay for can often be done with a card.
However, things like to stop working in the islands, so I bring a little more cash than I think I will need. It always works.

Newb looking for advice
My tank has been up for a wile now and i think things are going alright. Here is a little background of my tank, its a 34g cube, 2 bags of EC, 2x12" truluman led strips on for 9 hours a day, G3 filter and a 300watt inline heater with controller set to 77deg. I have 2 angles, 5 neon's, 2 cory cats and a lone guppy(the guppy is my sons fish). For plants there is a jungle val, amazon sword, hornworth(not sure how to spell it) java fern, dwarf hair grass. My parameters PH=7. KH=3, GH=6, ammonia nitrate nitrite all 0, EC around 500(G3 gives this spec). Is there any thing els i should be testing for? I swap out the mechanical filter every 2 weeks, swap out 2 bags of purigen in the chemical basket once a month, and rinse the bio and canister every 6 months with tank water. I am doing a 5gal water change about every 10 days, using Poland spring or deer park witch ever is on sale because my tap has lots of mettle and chlorine in it. I put between 5-10ml of api liquid co2 every day when lights come on and 30ml of api leaf zone at water changes. That was the only ferts i could find locally, now i can get flourish at a new store that just opened. Would it be better to switch to flourish, if so will that replace liquid co2 and leaf zone? Or should i just keep doing what i am doing because it seems to be working, things are growing water is clear and fish seem happy.
just planter the hair grass hasent filled in yet
Your tank looks good. Things seem to be working well for you. You know what they say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it !"
I don't think you need to change anything you're doing.
you should just switch over to a pressurized co2 system, a lot cheaper in the long run. I use dry ferts on my tank and it seems to do well, i wish i had a cube tank... im kinda jealous of this tank haha
Just going by your test results I would be concerned that there is not nitrate (NO3) showing. The plants are using all the nutrients that you are adding with the fish food.
Fish food usually has a pretty decent balance of N, P, and most micros. Not so much K or Fe, so the Leaf Zone and carbon supplements are just right.
Yes, I would add Flourish Comprehensive to add just that little bit more that the plants may need.
I can't fully agree with the thought that things can't be worth adjusting a bit. It is good not to make large changes but tanks do change even when the don't see it. That requires being ready to change small things.
One thing I would first look at is the water used. To cut the amount of hassle and expense, I'm pretty sure you can switch to regular tap water and use a product to deal with the chlorine and any metals. Prime is a favorite with many people that is easy to use and deals with both problems.
You may have a really special situation but for many people all around the world, adding a bit of dechlor is much better than buying water to drag home.
I believe there comes a point for each tank were one needs to fine tune for that particular tank by making small changes followed by observation over time. I would offer the 1st thing to eliminate would be the bottled water. Followed my the chemical filter media. Next would be the Macro ferts.
When one achieves balance of Light, Plants, Fish/Inverts, Water perimeters a tank should be able to thrive with only occasional dosing of Trace ferts. Keep in mind it's a system, not just a collection of parts.
Thanks for the input everyone. I started out using tap water, the PH is 7.6 and GH 8 and KH 7, I knew i wanted to keep angle fish so i did enough water changes with RODI water to get those parameters down, then started using bottled water to keep them there. At the time i was not using prime as a declor, i have it now to recharge the purigen. It would be very cool not to have to buy water if prime could make my tap water good.
Bottled water, as in drinking water, spring water and similar products are not really all that great for aquarium use. They are not regulated, so can change at any time.
If your tap water is OK, no toxins, then a blend of tap water and reverse osmosis or distilled water will be a better blend. Test the RO or distilled to be sure, but these should have so close to zero minerals or anything else, and be very consistent. RO and distilled are close enough to the same for aquarium use it does not matter which you use.
Beware of those machines outside stores that say the sell RO, though. If the filters are not changed regularly they start allowing too many minerals through, so the water is not really RO pure any more.
You can get small RO units that you hook into your kitchen sink, if you do not want (or cannot use) a built in unit.
Prime is a very good dechlor, and economical to use.
If you are trying to get the Angelfish to breed or are keeping wild caught then you will probably use something close to a 50/50 blend of tap + RO, then filter it through peat moss. Hatchery raised fish ought to be just fine in your tap water.

Hello fellow forum members!
I have recently gotten into the costuming hobby. Over the last 2 months i have been trying to plan out and make connections to put together a "Lord Starkiller (hoth)" costume. Yesterday i went to a friends armor party to help someone finish up their mando costume and while there everyone ganged up on me and convinced me to do up my own mando costume to do while i put together my starkiller costume since it will probably take a year or more to get all the pieces and parts together.
Now i know i have an idea in my head as to what type of armor i want, and what the general "theme" will be. I want to do a crusader armor that looks like it has gone been modified with extra armor plates, ammo pouches and knives (maybe a sword? o_O) and been dragged through hell and back. I got a friend that has some serious artistic talent so maybe i have him translate it to paper. What are some good places to start looking for armor parts or people to talk to that can help translate my ideas into the real thing?

Utah's early winter snow bounty is already slipping away.
Snowpack withered last month in every basin, said Randy Julander, who monitors conditions for the Natural Resource Conservation Service.
Meanwhile, the snow survey supervisor reported, spring and summer are shaping up to be as parched as last year, and the runoff looks iffy in drainages scarred by the Seeley and Clay Springs wildfires last summer.
"The more we look at it, the less probable it looks" that new snow will make up the ground lost over the past two months, said Julander. "If it turns dry, it could be another year like last year."
The agency measured precipitation ranging from 84 percent to 76 percent of normal in most of Utah at the end of February. The Lower Sevier River drainage (at 98 percent) and the Beaver River drainage (at 90 percent) were the state's healthiest.
Still, every basin lost snowpack, bringing the statewide average to 80 percent of normal.
"Bottom line is, we've had two super-dry months back to back," Julander said.
February had under half the normal mountain precipitation. Now reservoirs are filled to 69 percent of capacity, compared to 87 percent last year at this time. And when the melt does come, flows will be just 50 to 80 percent of normal.
"Overall, the water supply outlook is below average," Julander's monthly water supply report says. "Given the poor and declining current conditions, coupled with the forecast potential of a dry spring, water users are advised to prepare accordingly."
Julander's office also released an in-depth look this week at the lingering impacts of the Seeley and Clay Springs fires last summer. Both will probably affect runoff this year, melting snow earlier and potentially releasing more mudslides.
In mid-July, the Clay Springs fire north of Delta burned about 180,000 acres, scalding roots below the ground surface in some places because it was so hot. According to Julander's team, fire consumed nearly all the vegetation in the Oak Creek watershed and burned the weather-monitoring station at the site.
The Seeley fire in Emery County's Huntington Canyon, also in July, burned about 48,000 acres and scarred about half of the Huntington Creek watershed. Thunderstorms unleashed soil and debris from the steep mountainsides and caused mud flows one of which closed State Highway 31 for nearly a week.
The blackened, heat-scarred soil, the loss of snow cover from trees, and the charcoal dust darkening the snow itself each of these factors has had an impact on the snow's depth and durability. Julander's team predicts runoff could be a month or more early this spring.
Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon has led her community on a dogged search for around $1.6 million in emergency assistance. Ranchers, business people and homeowners still worry about slides and flooding caused by debris dams.
She's asked the Permanent Community Impact Board, Gov. Gary Herbert's office, Julander's agency and the Legislature for help. A legislative budget committee has placed at least some of the money on its priority funding list. Meanwhile, the city council has approved a plan to tap into as much as $100,000 from culinary water funding to help deal with the downstream impacts of the wildfire and the mudslides.
"It's absolutely frustrating, but I am not going to give up," Gordon said. "This is my town. These are my people. If I have to, I'll go down there with a shovel and start digging myself."

Faust: Conventional morality needs to change
November 25, 2012
Re: "Sexual-orientation and preference taking precedent over conventional morality," by Bud Hill, letters, Nov. 21
Good. If, using Hill's words, conventional morality says that homosexuality is "deviant," then conventional morality needs to change.
At various places and times in human history, "conventional morality" has condoned slavery, honor killings, the subjugation of women, holy wars and a cavalcade of what modern civilized society would consider atrocities.
Furthermore, according to psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg's six stages of moral development, "conventional morality," is pretty low in the states of moral reasoning. It is considered an adolescent way of moral reasoning in which a rule's appropriateness or fairness is seldom questioned.
Besides Hill's complete ignorance (willful or otherwise) regarding the science behind sexual orientation, his letter is filled with the type of bigotry you would expect based on his low level of moral reasoning.
Fortunately for society, Hill's views are becoming things of the past. This country has seen an overwhelming shift in views regarding the civil rights of LGBTQ Americans over the last 20 years. A prime example was the November 6th election when every single state in which voters were given the chance to voice the opinion on marriage equality, they overwhelming voted in support of the rights of gays and lesbians to marry, Colorado elected its first gay Speaker of the House, and more gay, lesbian, and bisexual politicians have been elected into office than any time in the history of this country.

While government has an important role to play in helping rekindle our economy and addressing the problems of a distressed nation, President-elect Obama believes each of us, as Americans, have a responsibility to do what we can for our communities and fellow citizens. We are one nation." You can find volunteer opportunities, and register your own projects, on the Renewing America Together Web site, http://www.usaservice.org/content/home/ Lesson Plans At the request of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, NEA and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) worked together to create a series of instructional guides and activities to help teachers across the country bring the 56th Presidential Inauguration to life in their classrooms. The guides are now available at: www.nea.org/inaugurationlessons.html and www.pic2009.org/page/content/lessonplans. "It is crucial that our students understand that we are not only living history and making history with this inauguration, but also carrying forward the historical contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his influence on our incoming 44th president," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "These important lesson plans will help students understand President-elect Obama's message of a 'sense of unity and shared purpose' into the next four years and beyond." The instructional guides, developed jointly by a team of curriculum experts from AFT and NEA, are designed to teach students about the history of Inauguration Day and other historical connections to this particular inauguration. They include information about the 2009 Inaugural schedule of events and background on traditional Inaugural ceremonies. The guides also provide suggestions for supplementing the lessons with discussion topics, films, books and other educational Web sites.

I have a friend in Little rock that got shot 8 times with a 22 and he went on to take down the guy who shot him. He now works for a private protection agency.
So yes, I have seen it. You are wrong. In a perfect world the perp would have shot him 8 times in the head. We don't live in a perfect world.
Now as to your question, shooting someone in the stomach with a 22 might hurt as you say but it won't stop them. They will walk away or kill you and then bleed out days later. You want a round big enough to stop them. YOu want a round that kills their brain if you hit them in the head. If you hit them in the torso you want a round that causes so much damage that it short circuits the functions of the body and makes them bleed out quick. You want to knock them down thus big rounds.
If you can't understand that then go for what you know.

By Matt Fortune
Kieran Gibbs is the latest in a long line of aspiring Arsenal footballers who have taken the loan route to success. This particular youngster has headed east to make his mark in Norwich's first team.
The talented 18-year-old signed professional terms with Arsenal in September and made his competitive debut in the Carling Cup victory over Sheffield United in October, grabbing an assist.
When the transfer window opened at the turn of 2008, a host of clubs were keen on securing Gibbs' services. However, Carrow Road was, he believes, the ideal destination.
"It [a loan move] was put to me at the beginning of January," Gibbs told Arsenal.com. "At the time we were still in the Youth Cup and the Carling Cup so we wanted to wait to see how both of those panned out. Then of course the defeat at Spurs happened and the Academy side were beaten by Liverpool. It was the day after that that I left for Norwich."
"I think it is the best place for me to go because I know David Bentley had a good time of it at Norwich and it is a good club. A few other clubs had been mentioned but Norwich was recommended to me and I was happy to go with it."
A month and half into the spell, Gibbs has made four appearances for the faltering Canaries, and, while he admits it has been far from plain sailing, the midfielder is content with his progress.
"I have only played in four games now but I have enjoyed it," he continued. "It's great for me to be training day in day out with a first team. Then there is the travelling home and away which has been good for me too.
"I wouldn't say it has been easy to adapt to up here but is a challenge I am happy to take on. On the football side of things is a bit different and for that it has been good for me.
"It is also a lot quieter up here. I wouldn't say I am a country boy so I am not used to the quiet life. I am staying in a country club hotel with three other players so that has been fine."
It is all well picking up experience, but how can Gibbs ultimately profit when he returns to the Club at the end of the season?
"I have learnt how intense it is paying at a professional level," he revealed. "The amount of games you have, you don't realise it until you are at that level that you have to look after yourself properly.
"Playing in the Reserves at Arsenal, there are one or two games per month so you have a lot of time to recover. Here you can often have just a couple of days so you have to know how to recover properly and effectively.
"You can also look at players like Dion Dublin and I cannot imagine how he is still going. His knowledge of the game is superb. He is always talking to us about how to approach the games and what to expect from the different environments we will play in. He has certainly hoped me a lot."
With such professionals able to lend a hand to his development, Gibbs is certainly heading in the right direction.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
As a distro I often wonder how people would like to buy zines, so I thought I would ask:
Paypal button?
A secure Paypal paying online store?
Views: 121
Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer sending cash through the mail to get zines. (In lieu of trades). I know I'm a dying breed, but I still send out zines for free when I have the time to make them. Anything that gets zines out is good!
Personally PayPal (or another credit/debit card based method) is the only way I would buy zines, through etsy or a distro or through (to?) the maker directly. Well, that and trades, of course.
Some people prefer to send me cash or stamps in the post for my zines, which is fine with me if they want to take the risk, but I don't trust the post enough to send money through it.


text: I like this Indiana team, they're showing us how you compete with the Heat. Don't even try to match up with their Big-3, counter it with a big tough, physical brand of basketball. As I look at the Pacers I think that they (along with Memphis) are the model for the Pistons. So let's break it down: PG: George Hill -vs- Brandon Knight. Is it really too much to ask that Knight perform at the level of a George Hill? SG: Lance Stephenson -vs- Kyle Singler. Lance doesn't put up jaw dropping numbers but he does a lot of the little things to help that team win. I personally think Singler can play a similar role on this team, but with a more reliable jump shot. SF: Paul George -vs- Kris Middleton. OK, here's where they got us licked. We don't have a Paul George on this team, however George's numbers in his rookie campaign weren't the least bit impressive. PF: David West -vs- Greg Monroe. Statistically speaking it's a draw, but West is a lot more tougher, physical and the superior defender. For us to take the next step we need Greg to toughen up and step it up defensively. C: Hibbert -vs- Drummond. Right now Hibbert is better because you can dump the ball into him and he can score, he also makes FT's and he's SUPER long and is a better rim protector.......but we all now Dre can and, probably will, be MUCH-MUCH-MUCH better than Hibbert in a few years. They're better than us, but I think we can get there, a smart free agent move, a good coaching hire, a solid draft pick.....and I think we can be as good as they are (and deeper) in the 2014-15 season.

Corrections Dept. Holds Public Meeting
The Vermont Department of Corrections wants to hear from the public about its operations ranging from transitional housing in Vermont's communities to the operation of its prisons.
The first of four quarterly meetings planned during the next year is set for Tuesday at 4:15 p.m. at Vermont Interactive Television locations around the state.
Corrections Commissioner Andrew Pallito says he's hoping members of the public, including those with an interest in corrections issues, will attend the session and provide their thoughts to the department.
The department's planning chief, Monica Weeber, says the town meetings mark a shift for the department in getting public input. It previously relied on a Citizens' Advisory Group.

Hi there!
I noticed there are (many) different institutions where one can study to obtain a TEFL certificate/diploma.
I'm putting together a lesson - I'm trying to make a GOOD(!) one - so I would like to hear what you were taught about what the important elements in a lesson are.
So just to see whether or not I'm on the right track, I would like to ask each and every one of you reading this message to name some (5-6) elements that you might expect to be included in a lesson.
Thanks in advance!

I heard that a bad karma erasing mantra associated with Ksitigarbha (kind of like how om mani padme hom is associated with Avalokiteśvara) is "om ha ha ha vishmaya svaha". Does anyone know anything about this? If so, would you happen to know the translation for this mantra in Pali?
Thank you in advance!

**lol, you never speak about Alaska and about Alaska adapted queens?** gee if you where from alaska then thats all we would talk about -but your from finland so we will truch through-- ;) **In Canada 80% of beekeepers are professionals. They do not need forum advices and not at least from California.** well it apears that guys from finland do--I went back and read your posts from 2004-read about poly hives and you said you used a top entrance or top vent for exaust of resperation moisture because of soilid botom boardyou said not needed if you have screen botom board- :chop: thats what you wrote --but luckly time has pasedand you have learned from the forum how to run a poly hive now you are expert thanks to posters like EDWARDyou have gained the knoledge that poly hive lets watter drain out front from condenseing on the sides -with a insulated top coveryes you no longer run your poly hives like a wood hive -there is a differance -I am glad that you are improvingyour beekeeping skills- ;) try and get somthing acomplish today instead of internet sword fight with the AMERICAN BEEKEEPERS-- :ninja: dont take it personal have a nice day :) RDY-B
speaking of Alaskan Beekeeping can anyone tell me how they move hives from flow to flow such as wildflower to fireweed if the sun is always shining and there is no dark --how do you move bees in this circumstance--RDY-B
What Edward saidtwo years agho Edward wrote :Ventilation is a little backwards.Spring and summer fall reduce the bottom ventilation , = earlier start for brood , easier for young bees to sweat wax , draw comb.In the winter open the ventilation over the bottom of the hive ventilates condensation lets air in despite of dead bees.
The winter is still the same, lots of ventilation to get rid of excess damp.
That guy make polyhives and sell them at least to 10 country in Europe. He lives near me and I ask from him if I need some advices.In those days Sweden had this kind of hives .Same with Finland Practically it has one brood and one or two supers.
If I only wanted 2 or 5 hives in the bottom of the garden I would probably use the old wooden hives beeecause they look good and are a Jewel in the garden.
.....The model is for professional beekeeping. It is a production unit, and not a beauty in garden.
Polyhives had thinner walls a few years ago. The model is for professional beekeeping. It is a production unit, and not a beauty in garden
So what is the entrance and venting configuration on those paradise honey hives? Based on the photo it appears they are using a mid entrance and no top vents? That looks very similar to the homemade design I've been using. It has worked wonderfully so far for me. My design also has walls that are approx 4cm thick. As I've suggested earlier, it appears to me that a hive with only 20 to 25mm thick poly walls can act like a freezer if you're not careful. ;) More insulation is good. :)
I own some of those, kept bees in them over winter and and have performed thermal measurements on them.
Does their polystyrene have a tough enough surface to prevent wax moths and ants from boring through them?quote]If you paint the it make it harder for ants to burrow in the polymvh edward :-P


text: Bob, I had a Model 29 go past 84k once. It did need a lot of parts replaced to get that far(hands, bolt, star, springs, pins, ect.). I also had to set the barrel back and recut the forcing cone 3 times. When the top strap was cut about 2/3 through I quit shooting it.

Why I'm So Passionate About Women's Rights
People often ask me why, as a man, I am so passionate about women's rights. The answer is that I got into women's rights because I have seen so many women put through so many horrible things. There is so much that women go through that most men don't have to worry about.
I have dated survivors of abuse and sexual violence. I have many friends who are survivors of assault. I have seen the way it destroys their lives. Almost every girl I know has been cat called and verbally harassed on the street. Almost every girl I know feels or has felt ugly because of the media and society setting impossible standards of beauty. It hurts me seeing such naturally beautiful women …

The Ghost Talker
22 February 2014 , 7:15 AM by Rob Minshull
When presenter Kat Davidson was a little girl, she went with her mother to visit the house of a friend.
Whilst her mum chatted with a friend, Kat raced out to play with the friend's little dog.
When she came back inside and started telling them about the games she'd been playing, they got upset because they said that, in fact, the little dog had died during the week.
But Kat can still remember playing with the dog, chasing him around the garden ... and now she sometimes sees her own little girl Rori talking to something or someone she can't see.
Is it simply a case of over active imaginations or is something else at play?
Kat Davidson is talking to Brisbane based psychic Rachael Belcher.

Andre Santos says he is delighted to be playing once again after ending his three-month injury lay off.
The Brazilian defender sustained an ankle injury in the Champions League defeat to Olympiacos in December and made his long-awaited return for the reserves on Wednesday night.
The 29-year-old played 60 minutes as Arsenal beat West Brom 3-0 at Underhill - and he loved every second of it.
"I am very happy to be playing again because it has been a long time," Santos told Arsenal.com. "I feel good and I hope to be able to play next week at Everton.
"It has been a difficult time because my ankle was in pain and I didn't feel good, but now it feels good again and I'm very happy to be back.
"I'm really pleased the team have been doing so well. The displays have been strong, the spirit is good and we have 10 games left so we must finish well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Arsenal play host to table toppers Chelsea this weekend, and GunnersGaming make them 21/20 chances to beat the Blues.
Arsène Wenger's side have started the season well, and The Football Predictor suggests they have a 63 per cent chance of coming out on top on Saturday.
The Gunners are currently fifth in the Premier League, and were impressive in their 1-1 draw away at Manchester City last weekend.
The Predictor reveals that they have failed to score in just 10 per cent of their last 20 home games, while Chelsea have not found the net in 30 per cent of their away matches in the same period.
Arsenal have opened the scoring in 65 per cent of their last 20 games on their own patch, and are 10/13 to do so against Chelsea.
The last 20 matches at Emirates Stadium have produced an average of 3.1 goals a game, and GunnersGaming have priced over 2.5 goals being scored on Saturday at 13/15.
The Predictor reveals that 53 per cent of the 45 goals scored at home in the last 20 games have come from forwards, with midfielders netting 29 per cent.
Two men to watch out for are the in-form Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla.
Podolski has already scored three goals for Arsenal and is priced up at 5/1 to net first against Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Cazorla has looked a real threat in front of goal all season and can be backed at 8/1 to break the deadlock.

The holidays are the top time of the year for donations and gift giving to charities… but which charities do you donate to? Have you been considering a charitable donation, but realized it's very hard to tell the scams from the real charities? Read on for our five-step guide on how to tell the good from the bad.
Step 1: Look at the website. You can learn a lot about the legitimacy or illegitimacy of an organization from its website. Does the website explain what they do? Does it list contact information and a physical address? Is there specific information about how the money or donations are used? If a website lacks basic information and seems vague about programs or details it may be suspicious.
Step 2: Contact the charity over the phone. Faking a website to look like a legitimate charity isn't that hard, but providing phone communications which emulate how a real charity works is far more difficult. Is there a hard sell to get you to donate? If so, pass this one by. If they answer the phone and can't explain who they are or what they do without you telling them "who you're calling for" then it's a sign they may not be what they claim.
Step 3: Use online resources. Online websites such as Charity Navigator [1] or Just Give [2] allow you to research charities to see detailed information about a charities' financial and governance policies. These websites will only display legitimate charities which have been vetted.
Step 4: Never pay in cash & look for https. A legitimate charity will never ask you to mail cash or mail a check made out to cash to them; if that's an option or recommendation, leave immediately. If you go to an online form to donate and the site isn't https:// where you enter your credit card information, it's a sign they either lack security or are not a legitimate charity.
Step 5: Avoid raffles/prizes. This step doesn't always apply, as many legitimate charities will offer prizes or raffles, but be VERY suspicious and ask for details. Sometimes companies donate a car or an expensive piece of electronics knowing silent auctions or charity giveaways can net the charity more money than a cash donation of the same value. The problem is scam sites often will exploit people's want to do good and be rewarded, so they offer a chance to win popular items for a small donation. One notable exception is HumbleBundle [3] which offers games from independent game companies as a bundle where the proceeds can be directed to a number of charities like Child's Play [4] or the EFF [5].
Using these simple tips can help you make sure your donation or good will goes to the right people.
