The New York Times reported last week that the Defense Department plans to build a drone base in northwest Africa to enable it keep a closer eye on African organizations believed to be associated with the larger al-Qaeda network.
U.S. intelligence officials insist that the threat from regional al-Qaeda branches is growing and believe that more frequent surveillance can reduce the danger.
The move, the Times reports, is "an indication of the priority Africa has become in American antiterrorism efforts." The story notes that the current U.S. military presence is mostly confined to one permanent base in Djibouti.
Beyond the official base, the United States maintains a "constellation of small airstrips" in the area that are used to launch drones tasked with tracking the movements of suspected "militants."
It is reported that should the new base get the green light from Congress, Niger is the likely location for it.
The proximity of Niger to Mali cannot be overlooked. As The New American has reported, President Obama has once again sidestepped the Constitution and Congress and committed the United States to supporting the United Nation's war on rebels in Mali. The armed forces of the socialist government of France are taking the lead in the combat operations in Mali.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta backed his boss's drive to bolster the U.S. presence in that conflict. He told reporters that the Obama administration was preparing to provide air support and logistics information to the French military. At that same press conference, Secretary Panetta insisted that "at this time" there was no plan to deploy U.S. ground forces to Mali, but that the president would continue offering whatever level of support the war effort required.
An official quoted in the New York Times story confirms the connection between Mali and the proposed air base. "This is directly related to the Mali mission, but it could also give Africom [the United States Africa Command] a more enduring presence for I.S.R. [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance]," the American official told the Times.
The military officials cited in the story estimate that "as many as 300 United States military and contractor personnel" would be stationed at the new African air base.
Not everyone in Africa would welcome the increased U.S. presence in the region. As reported by the New York Times,
Some Africa specialists expressed concern that setting up a drone base in Niger or in a neighboring country, even if only to fly surveillance missions, could alienate local people who may associate the distinctive aircraft with deadly attacks in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
When locals otherwise uninvolved in any terroristic activity turn to violent counter-attacks as revenge for the killings by drones piloted by the U.S. military or the CIA, that is known as blowback — and it is creating more enemies in Pakistan and Yemen than U.S. drones are able to kill.
After a drone attack killed 13 Yemenis by "mistake" in September 2012, for example, relatives of those killed spoke with the clarity and carelessness that comes from the mixture of mourning and rage.
"You want us to stay quiet while our wives and brothers are being killed for no reason. This attack is the real terrorism," declared Mansoor al-Maweri, whom CNN reported as being "near the scene of the strike."
Reuters explains that "Western diplomats in Sanaa say al Qaeda is a threat to Yemen and the rest of the world." An argument can be made that a bigger threat to the world is the United States' daily drone attacks that destroy our own dedication to the rule of law and serve as an effective recruiting tool for those seeking revenge for the killings.
Should the plans to build a new U.S. air base come to fruition, Africa might soon be added to the list of countries where anti-American sentiment is bred by blowback.
The Obama administration's goal of growing the U.S. military presence in Africa is not new, however.
In October 2012, the Washington Post reported that the CIA was leaning on President Obama to green light the expansion of the intelligence agency's fleet of drones. The increasing militarization of the CIA has accelerated its "decade-long transformation into a paramilitary force" according to a government official quoted in the Post article.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus (a member of the internationalist Council on Foreign Relations) told the president that a beefed up drone presence would help his agents keep up with the "threats in North Africa," a region the government insists is attracting al-Qaeda militants fleeing from the constant barrage of Hellfire missiles fired from drones patrolling the skies over Pakistan and Yemen.
And, it's not as if North Africa hasn't already seen its share of drone sorties. On July 24, 2012, the Washington Post published an article describing the congestion of the skies over Somalia caused by drone traffic. The situation is so bad, said the paper, that there is a "danger to air traffic" in the area.
An additional problem posed by the proliferation of the unmanned aircraft above the east African nation is that their presence might be evidence of a violation of a 1992 United Nations Security Council arms embargo still in effect.
The article in the Post cited a UN report in which officials of the international body recount several instances where collisions between drones and commercial aircraft or objects on the ground were "narrowly averted." One such incident involved a drone and a passenger plane flying above Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
The authors of the report of the investigation did not directly implicate the United States. That said, the report indicated that "at least two of the unmanned aircraft appeared to be U.S.-manufactured and suggested that Washington has been less than forthcoming about its drone operations in Somalia."
According to the report, there have been 64 unauthorized drone deployments, fighter jet missions, or attack helicopter flights recorded in Somalia since June 2011. At least 10 of the documented flights involved drones.
While the U.S. military keeps mum about its use of drones around the world, it is known that the aircraft are deployed and launched from the base in Djibouti, as well as from airstrips in the Seychelles and Ethiopia. The base proposed for construction in north Africa would undoubtedly result in an exponential ramp-up in the number of drone missions flown in the region.
In a statement released in last summer, the Pentagon admitted that it is "engaged in a robust range of operations to target Al-Qaeda and associated forces, including in Somalia." In 2011, the military acknowledged that as part of that operation, a drone strike was launched against two suspected leaders of al-Shabaab, an alleged al-Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia. Again, the use of these drones and the firing of missiles at militants seemingly violates the 1992 embargo, as drones carrying Hellfire missiles are inarguably deployed for uses that are "exclusively military," in direct contravention of the terms of the embargo.
While the leaders of al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda, and other suspected militant groups will undoubtedly be the target of the drones launched from a new African air base, the experience of use of the unmanned aerial vehicles in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen casts serious doubt on the ability of these future sorties to eliminate the alleged threat posed by these alleged terrorists.

The small island of San Salvador, its southern section seen here by ESA's Proba microsatellite, is located midway down the Bahamas Archipelago. It has a special historical significance as it is nowadays identified as the first point Christopher Columbus made landfall in the New World.
San Salvador Island is located about 640 kilometres southeast of Miami, and is part of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Around a thousand people live here, with the capital of Cockburn Town located on the west coast towards the top left corner of the image. San Salvador's fringe of pristine beaches and reefs is surrounded by Atlantic waters more than 4000 metres deep, a combination making it popular with divers.
This pod-shaped island measures approximately 19.25 km in length and 11.2 km in width, with a surface area of 94.9 square kilometres, mostly made up of dune ridges, with the troughs between them forming salty lakes which cover almost a third of the total surface area. For this reason, San Salvador Island is sometimes called 'the Land of Lakes.'
In the image, these lakes appear light green in colour – probably due to the presence of dense microbial mats in their saline waters - with the land surface seen as dark green. The elongated water body in light blue on the east side of the island is a tidal inlet called Pigeon Creek. Offshore the light-blue waters indicate submerged reefs, see for example French Bay on the southern side and Snow Bay on the south-east corner of the island.
Up until 1925 the island was called Watling Island, named after bucanneer George Watling who used it as his base during the late 17th Century. It was changed due to its identification by historians as the place Christopher Columbus came ashore on 12 October 1492 and named 'San Salvador'. His logbook recorded it as being flat with many trees and lakes.
This image was acquired on 25 September 2005 by the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS). Built by UK-based Sira Technology, CHRIS is the main payload on ESA's Proba microsatellite, designed to acquire hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 18 metres across a swath of 14 kilometres.

HCSO Press Release
On 2-7-2014, approximately 11:20 a.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call from a burglary victim who resided in the 1900 block of Simmons Road, Eureka. When the investigating deputy arrived on scene, the 62-year-old male victim who is the homeowner told the deputy he left his home for a few minutes to go to the store.
The victim said he may have accidentally left his front door unlocked when he left his residence at approximately 11 a.m. When he came home at 11:20 a.m. he found his residence has been burglarized. Several loaded handguns, rifles, a safe, electronics and personal documents were stolen. The victim believed the suspect(s) were possibly watching his home and saw him leave.
The investigating deputy checked the neighborhood and spoke with a neighbor who unknowingly witnessed the burglary. The neighbor told the deputy he saw the victim leave his home about 11 a.m. The neighbor then saw a newer model silver colored Jeep type of vehicle drive with flood lights above the windshield drive into a driveway a few doors down from the neighbor's residence.
Two males in their twenties exited the vehicle and walked up to the victim's front door. They knocked on the front door several times and then walked into the home. The neighbor assumed it was the victim's son and a friend. The suspects repositioned their vehicle into the victim's driveway and loaded some items into it and then drove off. The neighbor had no idea the suspects had burglarized the victims home.
On 2-7-2014, at approximately 4:30 p.m. the investigating deputy was dispatched to the 8000 block of Sitka Springs Road, Eureka regarding a safe located in the woods. A citizen had located the safe while hiking a trail. The deputy recovered the safe which had been stolen from the Simmons road residence.
The safe had been forced open and all its contents removed. The deputy was aware of a burglar, Joshua Buchanan, who was on formal probation and lived in the area where the safe was recovered. Buchanan was on felony probation with a search clause. The deputy drove to the residence where Buchanan lived and learned from Buchanan's parents that Buchanan was not at the residence, but was living in a motorhome in Eureka. The deputy also learned Buchanan had access to his father's Silver Humvee which was similar in description to the "Jeep type vehicle," the witness described.
On 2-10-2014, approximately 5 p.m. another deputy located the motorhome Buchanan was associated with in the EZ Landing trailer park, King Salmon. The deputy saw Buchanan was leaning in a White 1995 Chevy Tahoe talking with another male, later identified as Cameron Payne.
Buchanan started to immediately walk away from the deputy who detained Buchanan and Payne. A probation search of Buchanan revealed an approximate 4 gram bag of suspected Heroin in his pants pocket, and another .5 gram bag with suspected methamphetamine in another pants pocket.
Buchanan was arrested for possession of the drugs. The deputy learned Payne was also on probation with a search clause. The deputy searched Payne and located a syringe with suspected Heroin in it in his pocket. Payne was arrested for possession of drugs.
Additional deputies arrived on scene and searched the motorhome pursuant to the probation clause. The deputies located stolen property for a residential burglary which occurred at a residence in the 5400 block of Pinecrest Court, Eureka on 2-9-2014. The recovered property included electronics, old coins and other collectibles.
While searching Buchanan's motorhome deputies learned some of the stolen property from the Simmons lane residence may be located at a residence at 2575 Alliance Road, Arcata. Deputies drove to that location at 10 p.m. They learned the resident at that address was Jeremiah Hoyt, who was on probation with a search clause. Deputies searched the residence and located items stolen from the Simmons lane residence including three firearms and electronics.
Deputies learned several of the stolen items had been pawned at local pawn shops and are working with the pawn shops to recover and return the stolen property to the victims.
Joshua Douglas Buchanan, 27 years old, from Eureka, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, Ppossession of stolen property and violation of probation. Cameron Tyler Payne, 24 years old from Eureka, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and violation of probation. Jeremiah Lee Hoyt, 23 years old, from Arcata was arrested for possession of stolen property and violation of probation. All three were transported and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. Their bail was set at $25,000 each.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff's Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

So Cat Deeley thinks she can cover a royal wedding? Well, she's keeping fingers crossed.
The British-born host of "So You Think You Can Dance" is being dispatched to London by CNN to co-host the news network's live coverage of a little tying-the-knot ceremony you just may have heard of – the nuptials of England's Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton – and she confesses to some pre-air jitters as she heads off to Westminster Abbey.
"I am nervous because there are so many people watching – I think on CNN there's going to be over 750 million people," says Deeley. "I'm hosting with Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper. It's going to be a big day, but, it's definitely not the challenge I would run away from, because I just think it's going to always be one of those moments where you turn around and go 'Where were you when—?' I can't think of two finer gentlemen to be sharing the screen with on such a kind of huge momentous day."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Deeley was only four-and-a-half when Prince William's parents, Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, were wed in 1981, but she retains lingering memories of the royal family's last major wedding/media sensation.
"We had a big party in the back garden with all the kids from the neighborhood and we had a big long table and all flags hanging in the trees and lots of jelly and ice-cream and cream," Deeley recalls. "There's certain bits that I remembered, images that are definitely ingrained in my mind, but I just remember more the feeling of the day and how much fun it was – how it was like this feeling of hope and joy and the fairy tale and all those kind of things. So hopefully it will be exactly the same this time."

Alamo Colleges getting into student housing
Campus housing isn't just for four-year universities anymore. San Antonio's community college system is getting into the rock-band-postered, bean-bag-chaired, pajama-lounging game.
The Tobin Lofts at San Antonio College will fill two blocks along North Main Avenue with one-, two- and four-bedroom units and 14,000 square feet of commercial space.
It will be anchored by the reincarnated Luther's Cafe, whose decades-old location in a former gas station already has been bulldozed away.
The Alamo Colleges has signed a partnership with NRP Group LLC to develop the $30 million student housing and commercial project at SAC, which locals hope will revitalize the Tobin Hill neighborhood.
Officials formally broke ground on the 225-unit apartment complex Thursday and anticipate opening the first phase of apartments in August 2013.
While some smaller two-year colleges in Texas offer student housing, the project is the first of its kind for larger community college systems across the state. But it likely will have company soon because it offers the potential for generating revenue and luring students, officials said.
Daniel Markson, NRP Group's senior vice president, said the lofts will have a luxury feel, intended to appeal to students who want to reduce their commute or who aspire to a four-year degree and want a more traditional college experience.
More Information
Tobin Lofts at San Antonio College
Recommended rates per person
• 1 bedroom starting at $875, about 500 square feet
• 2 bedrooms starting at $775, about 900 square feet of shared space
• 4 bedrooms starting at $525, about 1,200 square feet of shared space

"The community college system in the state of Texas is going to be the entry point for the middle class now, because it's simply not affordable to go four years to the state system," he said.
Alamo Colleges Chancellor Bruce Leslie said he'll discuss a proposal next month with his board for another public-private partnership, a mixed-use administration building at the old Playland Park site.
And, if the project at SAC succeeds, the district might consider similar proposals at other Alamo Colleges locations, board chairman James Rindfuss said.
Houston Community College officials said they're also interested in a similar partnership for student housing that might appeal to international students.
About a third of the American Association of Community College member schools now have residential options and the number is rising, said Norma Kent, the association's spokeswoman.
Locally, the NRP Group obtained financing for most of the $30 million residential/commercial portion and the district will fund an adjacent $15 million 961-space parking garage by tapping into an endowment it plans to repay, in part, through parking fees.
Austin-based Campus Advantage will manage the apartments and seek to fill it not only with Alamo Colleges' students — the district enrolls about 60,000 — but with faculty and staff at the schools. If there still are vacant units, students from other area colleges and universities can apply to live there, officials said.
SAC students said they liked the idea, even if they weren't all ready to change their housing arrangements.
Ricardo Méndez, 19, lives at home but would consider swapping his 20-minute commute for an apartment on campus close to the library and computers, which could save him money.
"I'd be relaxed," he said. "I'd be going (home) to take naps."
The college hopes to capitalize on having students living next door by offering more afternoon and evening activities. Students engaged with their campus beyond the classroom are more likely to stick with their studies, SAC President Robert Zeigler said.
"The students who do participate in clubs not only persist in school but they gain opportunities for leadership roles they wouldn't have otherwise," he said.
Alamo Colleges officials also expect the project to generate revenue in the face of shrinking state funding, with the bonus of completing capital projects without having to ask voters to approve a bond.
The developer estimated the apartments would bring the system about $3.8 million over 12 years.
But there is some risk, Rindfuss said. The housing project is privately financed but Alamo Colleges contributed the land by selling it to the colleges' public facility corporation, which, in turn leased it to the project's limited liability corporation, according to district documents.
Ownership eventually will revert back to the Alamo Colleges, unless the project doesn't generate enough revenue to repay its debt and defaults, he said.
"The risk for us was minimal compared to the benefits in the future," Rindfuss said, adding that the $2 million land price was only a sliver of the value of improvements to the property.
Doug McMurry, executive vice president of the Associated General Contractors of America San Antonio chapter, said he expects to see more such projects as public resources dwindle.
"At the end of the day, the core mission of Alamo Colleges is not to develop real estate, it's to educate the community. And if they're careful ... they can also acquire the revenue they need and build the capital improvements that they need while at the same time educating students," he said.
Plans call for a pool and a film center. The college's bookstore may move in as well, Zeigler said.
The improvements are a "facelift" for the area, said Randy Cunniff, co-owner of Luther's Café. He said the new Luther's will be about twice the size of the original and will deliver to tenants.

Each fall as the days grow shorter (have you noticed?) It's a signal to prepare for the cold and snowy months ahead. It's the "gotta get" season; time to lay in supplies and take care of the chores. For instance, I've gotten lots of leaf bags. My theory is to let them all come down and the trees be bare before I rake. Others are raking them as they come down, so there won't be so many to rake in the end. We always hate the job so we put if off as long as we can and it seems such a shame to stuff all of those beautiful colors into a plastic bag. I always get extra bags because they have so many other uses. I use them to cover my porch chairs and lawn furniture up when they go into the cellar for another year. I use them cover up the many seasonal wreaths that hang on our doors and also the Christmas wreaths that go to the cemetery year after year. Do you find that your bamboo rakes always seem to lose a few "teeth" when you finish raking leaves every year? I purchased one of those the other day. If I'm lucky enough to find a helper when I rake, he or she always wants the one with all of its teeth. While I purchased the rake, I got a package of plastic window covering for the door on our back porch. It seals the window frame which goes almost to the foot of the door. Also a package of weatherstripping, tubes of caulk and extra insulation to stuff in the cracks around those openings. Ol' house has a few places where it's settled enough to let in winter's chill. We have a pair of steps to the back of our old barn and they have never been painted. Until the DEC banned it, we used creosote to preserve the steps. Now, I brush on a coat of motor oil I get when our car gets an oil change. I also use it to paint the hoes, rakes, shovels and other garden tools to prevent corrosion over the winter months. If you want to keep your lawn and gardens nice, you might want to spread some grass seed and fertilizer as this is supposed to be one of the best times of year to repair those places hurt by the summer drought. If you took up your tulip, crocus, and other bulbs to rest during the summer, remember to put them back in about now for a glorious flower display early next spring. Nov. 4 our Daylight Saving Time goes away and we fall back on Eastern Standard Time. While you are out getting all of the things needed for fall, remember to check your batteries in your flashlights because they always become needed at some time or another, and change the batteries in your smoke detectors. If you have a wood-burning stove at your house, why not bring in an armful of wood from the woodpile, which I hope you have accumulated this summer when prices were a little lower. And have you checked your chimney to see if it's OK? If you took any of your winter clothing to the dry cleaners then you better check if you picked it up, because one of these days you will probably need some of it. If you have already done all this, you can be pretty smug; when the first snow flies, you'll be ready.

Binomial Nomenclature(redirected from linnaean system of nomenclature)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical.
binomial nomenclature[bī′nō·mē·əl 'nō·mən′klā·chər]
The Linnean system of classification requiring the designation of a binomen, the genus and species name, for every species of plant and animal.
Binomial Nomenclature
the designation of plants, animals, and microorganisms by a double name—by genus and species. Binomial nomenclature was introduced by C. Linnaeus, who systematically used it in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae (1759). All the generally accepted zoological and botanical nomenclature in Latin comes from this work—for example, Betula pubescens (white birch), Cervus elaphus (red deer).

As you might have noticed, the announcement that I had started a crowdfunding campaign to get my SkyLine object pack MIT licensed did raise a lot of dust (alas not the money so far... ). Now the end of the campaign comes in sight, so I thought I give all the Torque-minded developers a reminder. As said before in the previous blog about this campaign, it might get MIT licensed even if the goal isn't reached. Also, if you decide to take the SkyLine Fanatic perk, you will obtain your copy of the pack, so nothing to loose there...
So here is the link to the indiegogo campaign: Get the SkyLine Pack MIT licensed
Also another video from my game The Master's Eye showing you the use of the pack.

Spotify this week has once again been the focus of artists' ire, as more than 200 labels chose to withdraw music from the service.
A post on Digital Music News revelaed research from NPD Group and NARM that claimed:
"access has been deemed 'most detrimental' to monetization across nearly all demographic categories"
What is lacking is a transparency from music streaming services that will allow people to decide fro themselves.
So, in a (small) attempt to make the money you receive for a 'stream' of one of your tracks a little less hidden, here's a very basic breakdown from some first hand experience.
I signed up with Routenote, a digital music distribution service, a couple of years ago. It has been in the last few months that I've used Routenote to it's potential, managing to get some of my old band's tracks on Spotify (you can listen here if you like!).
*click the image to see a bigger version
In August we had 61 plays and earned $0.35016
In September we had 52 plays and earned $0.30396
So for just over 100 plays, we earned ourselves two-thirds of a dollar.
Now that might not seem like much to you, but that 100 plays as 100 more than we would have had otherwise.
To put it another way, the 100 plays is the equivalent of us selling 20 CDs at £3 each that are then only listened to once, straight from the disc.
That would net us £60 profit (our overheads from making the CD were covered years ago), a lot more than half a dollar.
It would seem to make NO SENSE to an outside figure who is interested only in the money at hand.
Why would you spend months creating something, only for its potential value to be made obsolete by uploading it to the Internet and making it publicly available for free?? ARE YOU NUTS?
The presence on Spotify helps, in my mind, to establish your footprint digitally. If you don't get on the platform, someone else will, and they make take your potential audience with them.
It makes sharing your music with others easier too. Back in the day, you'd carry 100's of CDs to gigs, that nobody would buy; now they can listen to you on Spotify and you save your back.
You might end up on a playlist of similar artists, stumbled across randomly by a Spotify user who happened to like your tracks.
Like many elements of our digital lives, there is an element of luck involved, if you are to succeed.
Think of 'viral' videos for example. The brands and people involved were lucky that they caught a wave of cultural phenomenon that their content played so well into.
Similarly, that job you got through Twitter? You wouldn't have it if you'd made a cup of tea and watched the TV instead of checking your stream.
That half dollar may not mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it is half a dollar that has meant the band's music has been listened to 100 times more than it would have otherwise been.
It has yet to lead to a sale or download, that much is true. But, if it does, that simple 5 minute process of uploading some tracks will have been made worthwhile.

Corporate Video Production
…what if you're not using it?
Business owners get every opportunity that they have to boost the sales of their business. They try every marketing strategy that is guaranteed to work. We're located in Sydney, so for Sydney video production companies, visit these guys! There videos have been the newest and most effective marketing tool for their clients. It has brought a drastic increase in the profit of businesses especially online businesses. But there are still others who doubt the power of video. Without videos, there are many opportunities that your business misses out.
You Miss Exposure through Talking to Millions of Customers
There are billions of people online every day. And there are millions of those individuals who checkout at least one video production a day watching the viral videos and product videos. According to ComScore, 90% of online shoppers find videos helpful while shopping online. It provides them with enough information about the product and the testimonials. Retailers have proven that products with video sell much more than products without video. A survey made by the Econsultancy last 2013 showed that half of the internet users in UK get to have a peak of the video content. And 54% of those people proceed to checking out the website of the video owner.
You Miss Effectiveness of Video in Advertising
It has been proven that video production is six times more effective than print and online advertising. A study from BrightRoll showed that at least 68% of individuals believe that it is more effective than display advertising, TV advertising or social media advertising. With your own simple video, your business will reach the viewing eyes of potential customers with a trusted effectiveness of getting sales from them.
You Miss Being Recalled by Viewers
Videos last longer in the minds of viewers because of the power of sight and hearing combined altogether. Video production has a lasting effect on its audience especially when the product is of interest to them, check out Full Frame Productions for some help on your next video project. Brainshark said that Video equals higher viewer retention. You can have a one-minute video equal to an estimate of written words 1.8 million. It is the power that videos have as compared to written advertising or picture advertising. Those without videos attract lesser visitors as compared to those who have videos. Videos tend to carry three times more monthly visitors who spend more time on the site and eventually buy something from them.
You Miss Out on More Sales
Just think about the number of individual viewing video all the time. Most of them get attracted and get interested on the content of the video. They are directed towards making a purchase from your business. Many seniors prefer to watch videos rather than read text in making online purchases. And do consider the fact that your exposure on Google will provide a 100% guaranteed sale for your business. Having a video production will give you the opportunity to land on page 1 of Google.

If you think your partner might be controlling or abusive, you can:
Remember, controlling or violent relationships usually get worse over time. If your partner might be controlling or abusive, it's better to get help now than to wait.
What is relationship violence?Relationship violence (also called dating, domestic, or intimate partner violence) happens when one person in a relationship tries to control the other person.
When many people think about relationship violence, they think about physical violence, like hitting or pushing. But people can use other methods, like threats, to control their partners.
Relationship violence can include:
If you feel controlled by or afraid of your partner – even if you haven't been hurt physically – trust your gut. There are people who can help you figure out what to do next.

Healthy relationships have problems, too. But in a healthy relationship, both partners take responsibility for their actions and work together to make decisions and sort out the problems.
How do I know if my relationship might become violent?Relationship violence can start slowly and be hard to recognize at first.
For example, when people first start dating, it's common to want to spend a lot of time together. It may be hard to tell if you are spending less time with other people just for now, or if your partner is trying to control your time.
It might help to ask yourself these questions:
Get more information about signs of abusive relationships.
What are the health effects of relationship violence?Some health effects are clear, like physical injuries. But the stress of relationship violence can lead to other serious problems like:
What if I'm not sure my relationship is violent?It's okay if you are not sure – you can still get help. Domestic violence agencies have counselors who are experts at helping people with questions about their relationships. You don't even have to give your name.

Instead of editing previous updates I thought I would start again from scratch and focus on the most critical items in their order of urgency and risk. With just a couple of months to go there is considerable schedule risk on one key component - the receiver material - and that could still cause a launch delay. The good news is that is the rest of the components are either on hand, or we have a very good design with some solid applications engineering left, which we think is just work, and not as much risk.
The Receiver
I've been talking about and posting pictures of coatings from the scanning electron microscope for those nerdy enough to want to see the details, and there are dozens and dozens more we have done. Ted, Jake and Gerry have proven feasibility of New55's unique receiver system, and we have some good examples. Now it is time to scale it up at a commercial coater.
That's not easy and we are racing to finish that formula for a projected first test coat of wide roll material on November 6! The time has been booked at a great Massachusetts coater and they have been a dream to work with so far, but we still have work to do, and this event is only a couple of weeks from today.
The risk: We might not have the formula ready for coat. They do the coating, we supply the "juice".
If we are successful the coated roll will be slit into smaller rolls and go straight into the Sleeve Machine which is a key machine we have up and running well.
Die Cut Sleeves
After the well-working Sleeve Machine, an outside service has to make the complex curve cuts which means we have to cut to length and then send them out. The first units had ragged edges and some other problems that were not cosmetic, such as out of spec flatness. This is a worry but not a major one as the vendor has shown a great deal of improvement in his process. We decided not to bring die cutting in house because it is so widely available.
The Clip
The first pieces we got of the famous Clip worked better than any clip from Polaroid, Kodak or Fujifim. They hold shape, are stronger, and straighter. They fly into the 545 holder and grab the sometimes-work finger like a vise. So we went ahead and OK's production of 30,000 of these little items, and they aren't cheap. But, they are worth it.
The Tongue
Des Fyler has devised a film loading scheme so practical, so elegant, so intuitive, that it is hard to believe that Polaroid, Fujifilm or Kodak never did it. The part is made in such a way that the pod and film are held in a fixed position to each other every time and that also attaches itself to the Clip using a special adhesive. Tooling and sourcing this design is an ongoing part of our race to the finish, and it's gonna be close.
It is worth noting that the way the Tongue and the Clip work together overcomes some legacy problems associated with the 545 holder. The angle of the clip relative to the sleeve is biased in favor of the back, allowing the finger to grab the clip, while still assuring a smooth entrance and light-tightness. If we can, we want to do things in a better way than before even though we know there is risk in change.
The Pod
Ted and co have pre-produced some pods with a new reagent for us to get started with. This will at first be a somewhat laborious and unprofitable operation which will have to be corrected by additional pod making tooling or even a new machine, which has been quoted at the alarming price of over $100,000. That's just for one unit. It means that we would have a $4 per unit tooling burden to pay down and that could drag out unless we ramped up into the 400,000 unit realm. I don't know about that, but some others around here are more optimistic.
Update: An hour after I published this I learned that the pod machine will not arrive until the following month. This could affect the pod making schedule and will delay the engineering changes to the machine, which is owned by 20x24.
The Reagent
Some of the chemicals used in the reagent are going out of production. I hate it when that happens.
The Pod Material
The paper of the pod is special and needs to be sourced before the initial amount runs out in mid-2015. Polaroid invented the idea of pods and paper a long time ago and today we have ketchup, cosmetic, sanitary and prophylactic pods of many kinds, but few with what the industry refers to as "frangible seals". That is taken to mean "more easily breakable", in the pod world, and several strategies have evolved. Pods often have sections and some instant film products have sections where the chemicals change over time, producing pod stripes on the picture. We only expect one chamber, so any stripes will be due to other manufacturing variabilities, or the subject.
The Film
In the freezer. Works good. Special run for us and more coming in. Another freezer will be needed. Yay.
The Box
Sam has finally found a very strong box that has all the right attributes, including a price that makes sense, and is about to get these made. He needs to order a large amount, so, we will have a lot more boxes than we need. Maybe we can put something else into them besides New55 FILM.
Packaging and Fulfillment
Sam is ably developing the right methods with a fulfillment system that will be simple - once it is set up. This is nontrivial and requires a lot of development still. Beside the actual product, it must also efficiently ship out accessories and rewards across the globe.
The Schedule
All these things and much more are supposed to converge in November when process development, production flow organization, documentation and supply chain metrics will be first established. It will be a busy time and one that will determine when we have our First Lot to Stock of New55 FILM.

January 10, 2013
By Kenneth Miller
LAWT Contributing Writer
Los Angeles Sentinel and L.A. Watts Times Publisher Danny Bakewell will join a long and prestigious list when he serves as the Grand Marshal l of the 28th annual Kingdom Day Parade on Saturday Jan. 21 in Los Angeles.
"This was the last wish of our founder Larry Grant and Mr. Bakewell was an overwhelming choice of our board of directors because of his services as a civil rights advocate during his many years as chairman of the Brotherhood Crusade and as publisher of the Sentinel and L.A. Watts Times newspapers," said Adrian Dove chairman of the Kingdom Day Parade and California Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) which is presenting the event.
"He has continued promote equality and demand justice for the underserved."
Grant, founded the event 32 years ago after receiving permission from the late Coretta Scott King, subsequently moving it from San Diego to Los Angeles in 1978. The parade commemorates the Martin Luther King national holiday. Grant died on Aug. 12, 2012.
The list of previous Grand Marshalls is long and distinguished with such individuals as California Attorney General Kamala Harris, sports icon Magic Johnson, boxing great Muhammad Ali, Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Karen Bass, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson Five, Academy Award winning actor Lou Gossett Jr., singer Chaka Kahn, actress Debbie Allen and Gov. Jerry Brown during his first term.
Bakewell has a long and storied history, as a powerful advocate for the civil rights movement, was instrumental in transforming the Brotherhood Crusade from a fledging non-profit into an institution of empowerment for the community of Los Angeles and a benchmark for the nation.
Since purchasing the Sentinel more than a decade ago, he has sustained the legacy of the 80-year old weekly publication, salvaged the L.A. Watts Times and has infused the social consciences and awareness in both newspapers that he has steadfastly believed in.
"Both of these newspapers that Mr. Bakewell owns have a function of doing good and are social communities centers wrapped in one," explained Dove.
"When we reach out to these individuals to ask of them to serve as Grand Marshall, many times we don't know what their response will be. I will tell that there has never been a more pleasant experience than this one," he added.
The theme of this year's event is; "Self Liberation in the Present, Remembering the Past and Moving into the Future."
An estimated half million spectators will attend the 3 mile, two hour parade that will also pay a fitting tribute to its late founder and torch carrier Grant.
"I am honored to be associated with a parade that is in the heart of the Black community and that is reflective of the deeds of arguably the greatest American who ever lived in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," stated Bakewell.

When Khiladi met Chulbul Pandey!
Akshay Kumar reached the sets of reality show 'Bigg Boss 6', hosted by Salman Khan, to promote his film 'Khiladi 786' and said it was great when Khiladi met Chulbul Pandey.
'It was great, we enjoyed it and had fun. It was nice, a bit of a jig between Khiladi and Chulbul Pandey. It was fun,' the 44-year-old said here Friday on the sets of 'Bigg Boss 6.'
Meanwhile, asked who he thinks is the biggest khiladi in the 'Bigg Boss' house, Akshay said, 'It is tough to say because this is a game where you have to stay alert at all times, till it ends Jan 12.'
'There is no internet, no TV, it's just rest of the people. Everyone is kind of playing a game of chess, so it is tough to say who is the khiladi,' he added. 'Khiladi 786' is Akshay's co-production with Himesh Reshammiya and also stars Asin. The film opened this Friday to a mixed response.

Blank screen when installing Ubuntu
Several co-workers and I run encrypted Ubuntu Desktop on our work laptops. Specifically I have an HP Compaq 6710b and they have all had monitor issues when installing Ubuntu. If you run the default "Install Ubuntu" option, the next screen will just be a blank screen. I need to get this documented because I always forget how to fix it.
While at the Ubuntu Splash screen do the following:
- Press the F1 key for "Help"
- Press the F6 key for "Special boot parameters for special machines"
Laptops with screen display problems vga=771. We need to append this to the Boot Options.
- Press the ESC key to get back to the Splash page
- Press F6 for "Other Options" and then Press ESC
Boot Options file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.see initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiest --
Delete the trailing -- and add in vga=771. You should have the following:
Boot Options file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.see initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiest vga-771
Press the enter key and you should now be able to successfully install Ubuntu.

This one-of-a-kind museum houses some of the most exciting exhibits and shows a space lover could ever imagine. Beyond Planet Earth and Journey to the Stars, focusing on the wonders of space exploration, are two of my favourites.
6. THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY | 200 Central Park West
Enjoy many fun and mind-blowing exhibits at AMNH, including the Butterfly Conservatory and a new show called Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, which highlights a variety of organisms that glow in the dark.
7. ZABAR'S | 2245 Broadway & 80th St
The best and most comprehensive gourmet food store you can find on the Upper West Side, Zabar's is one of those places that must be experienced in person to be truly appreciated.
8. SALUMERIA ROSI | 283 Amsterdam Ave. & 73rd St
I also do my shopping at Salumeria Rosi, a small neighbourhood salumi shop and restaurant that sells an ample variety of salumi, wine and other fine Italian produce.
9. LINCOLN CENTER | 70 Lincoln Center Plaza
Lincoln Center offers world-class dining and entertainment. The New York City Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera House and more are all housed in this plaza. Lincoln Center is the perfect place for an evening of aural and visual pleasure.
10. THE METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE | At Lincoln Center
I'll end my day at the Metropolitan Opera House, which features incredible productions of operas from prolific composers such as Wagner, Puccini, Mozart, and Verdi and Bizet, to name a few.

So I resigned, a couple of days before I actually had to. I was unceremoniously given to the Bridezilla as a lackey, had my leave taken away and my Christmas Bonus revoked. The girls I work with were as awesome as ever (I will miss them) and the general feeling among my colleagues is absolute fury at the way I am being punished for trying to do something with my life. Of course Bridezilla is not being given anything that may interfere with her Pinterest habit (she really should have learned to hide that on facebook) and so all of my work is going to someone who averages 30 hours o overtime a week already. Morale is not good right now.
In the midst of all the chaos I went to the introductory cocktail party evening. I learned a few things:
- It is possible to go to a cocktail party and a Nickleback concert in the same evening although a cocktail dress and takkies look weird.
- The new fun game of these functions (developed by myself and P1) is called 'spot the trophy wife'. Long blonde hair and 8 layers of makeup (which was the description given to girls at my high school).
- I ran into two girls from my high school, fortunately they are students, not partners. Unfortunately the one I was friends with is doing a diploma, not a full MBA.
- There is a dress code for classes (ouch, losing christmas bonus)
- Laptops are mandatory (see above)
- Meals and textbooks are included (well that's something)
- Wearing heels for the first time in ages makes me grumpy
- I get along better with mining people than financial people
- The best people are those crashing the party from the TED-X talk next door (dammit)
- Everyone already knows everyone
- If I don't network enough P1 will sit down and refuse to let me go home (or to Nickleback) unless I go and talk to another 5 people.
- Other people are as scared as me.

Kinston felt it should have beaten Tarboro four weeks ago.
It gets another shot at its league nemesis next week.
Kinston felt it should have beaten Tarboro four weeks ago.
It gets another shot at its league nemesis next week.
VeQuain Joyner threw for 203 yards and a pair of touchdowns, running back Shedrick Pegram had 131 yards rushing and three TDs and George Jones added 131 yards on the ground and a pair of scores as Kinston manhandled Kill Devil Hills First Flight 48-21 Friday in the opening round of the NCHSAA state 2A playoffs at Viking Field.
The win sets up a rematch at top-ranked and undefeated Tarboro, which annihilated Wilson Beddingfield 53-13 in their first round game and eked by Kinston 34-27 on Oct. 5.
�Overall I felt we played a very good game. � We played a good four quarters of football,� Vikings coach Nick Anderson said. �I�m just excited for this group to get that first (playoff game) out of the way. The first round of the playoffs is usually the hardest one.
�We�re getting ready to start making that run.�
While the early fall Eastern Plains 2A Conference matchup between Vikings was nip-and-tuck throughout, this one between Kinston and the Night Hawks was anything but.
First Flight (6-5) took only four offensive plays and 1 minute, 31 seconds to score on Kinston for the early lead.
It took the Night Hawks 52 more snaps and nearly 30 more game minutes to find the end zone again.
A 57-yard play in which running back Wyatt Robertson actually threw the ball instead of running out of the wildcat formation led to a 23-yard TD run for Robertson on the next snap and a 7-0 lead with 10:29 left in the first quarter.
The two big plays were enough for Kinston, which buckled down defensively and stole the show when it had the football.
�We just kept our composure. We knew it was just the beginning of the game. We had to play a whole game � a whole four quarters � so we knew those two plays weren�t going to dictate the whole game,� Joyner said.
The Vikings scored on seven of their first eight drives, with their lone drive failing to produce points because Joyner became the victim of an unlucky tip into the hands of a First Flight defensive back.
Jones touched the football only twice all game and both were for TDs. He scored from 64 yards out then followed with a 67-yard TD run on back-to-back possessions to give Kinston a 21-7 lead after the first quarter.
Pegram scored on runs of 1, 9 and 27 yards, and Joyner hit Qwari Ham for a score from the First Flight 20. He also completed a 19-yard scoring pass to Denzel Keyes to wrap up a night in which Kinston totaled 533 yards of total offense.
The Vikings led 34-7 at halftime and by as many as 48-7 midway through the third quarter.
Kinston�s defense forced First Flight into a pair of fumbles and a pair of picks, and all four turnovers led to scores.
Robertson, who ran for a game-high 198 yards on 30 totes, added a 16-yard TD run to make it 48-13 late in the third quarter.
After winning three in a row and four of their last five, an early-season swoon that spanned three games has become more of an afterthought for the Vikings.
Kinston�s last loss came at Tarboro, and did so on a last-minute turnover. If it�s to pull off what would be considered the upset of the postseason � Tarboro has won the last three 2A state titles � turnovers are going to have to be kept at a minimum.
Fortunately, a pair of picks didn�t hurt the Vikings in this one.
�People are getting are getting healthy at the right time, and we�re all coming together and finally playing as a team,� Joyner said.
�It�s going to be a tight game just like last time. I just hope this time we come out on top�

(STMW) — A Humboldt Park woman who allegedly drove off after fatally striking a man and a woman changing a tire has been charged with felony DUI in connection with the Saturday crash.
Delia Aguila, 27, was charged with two counts of felony aggravated DUI causing death in connection with the crash in the 3800 block of West 87th Street, according to police News Affairs.
Police claim Aguila was driving a 1995 Nissan Quest westbound on 87th Street about 10:45 p.m. when she hit a 39-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman changing a tire.
She allegedly continued driving, but witnesses helped police to locate her and the minivan a couple of blocks away, police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said.
William Brunson, of the 8000 block of South Harper Avenue, and Victoria R. Means, of the 14000 block of South School Street in Riverdale, were dead at the scene, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Aguila, of the 900 block of North Lawndale Avenue, was also charged two counts of DUI, reckless driving and driving without ever having been issued a license — all misdemeanors.
She was further cited for driving without insurance, having alcohol in the vehicle, and failing to render aid, keep inside her lane or reduce her speed.
Aguila is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing Tuesday.

National Academy of Engineering highlights Beyond Traditional Borders, NanoJapan in report on exemplary programs
Rice University engineering initiatives are prominently featured in a report issued this week by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
The publication, "Infusing Real World Experiences into Engineering Education," features case studies on Rice's Beyond Traditional Borders (BTB) program and the NanoJapan: International Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. Among the 28 colleges and universities in the report, only Rice is featured twice.
"The inclusion of two Rice programs, BTB and NanoJapan, in this important NAE report is no surprise, given that Rice engineering is all about exposing our students to experiences that push them well beyond their comfort zones and urge them to journey into places far from Houston, leading to great professional development and maturity across a variety of engineering disciplines," said Ned Thomas, the William and Stephanie Sick Dean of Rice's George R. Brown School of Engineering.
The report (available as a free download here) spotlights schools that incorporate real-world experiences into their curricula and highlights best practices for institutions seeking to create new programs, according to the NAE.
Each case study compares anticipated versus actual program outcomes to demonstrate how well the programs prepare their engineering students.
Beyond Traditional Borders, part of the Rice 360˚: Institute for Global Health Technologies, trains students to use the engineering design process to develop solutions to global health challenges provided by physicians in the developing world. Students work on their inventions at Rice's Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen and often develop them further using feedback they gather from physicians during internships in developing nations.
NanoJapan is a 12-week international research experience that prepares undergraduate students to work in cross-cultural settings in Japan. The program seeks to cultivate an interest in nanotechnology among first- and second-year students while adding to their research skill sets and simultaneously educating them in culture, language and nanoscale science. The program was founded in 2006; since then, more than 106 American students from 37 institutions, including three community colleges, have participated. While the program traditionally takes place in Japan, in the wake of 2011's devastating earthquake, 25 Japanese students from partner labs in Japan came to Rice for three months of study.
"The report amply demonstrates Rice leadership in translating fundamental science and engineering into high-impact practice," Rice Provost George McLendon said. "We are extraordinarily proud of the many ways in which Rice engineers make the world better."
"This nation's prosperity, security and quality of life are direct results of leadership in the engineering achievements that drive society forward," said NAE President Charles Vest. "These programs are strategically preparing students to become the engineers who will tackle the technical and social complexities that lie ahead in the 21st century."
The NAE is one of four organizations that make up the National Academies, along with the National Academy of Sciences (created by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863), the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council. They are private, nonprofit institutions that provide science, technology and health policy advice under a congressional charter.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw outpitched Tim Lincecum in the seventh regular-season matchup between former Cy Young Award winners, rookie Yasiel Puig had three more hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Wednesday night for a three-game sweep of the defending World Series champions.
Kershaw (6-5) allowed two runs and four hits in eight-plus innings and had seven strikeouts against an offense that totaled just 14 runs over its previous six games while going 8 for 47 with runners in scoring position. The Giants' only runs came in the fourth on Buster Posey's 10th homer and second in two games, following a 14-game drought.
Kershaw, who led the NL in ERA each of the previous two seasons, has a 2.06 mark through his first 17 starts — tying Pittsburgh's Jeff Locke for second place, .01 behind the Mets' Matt Harvey.
Kenley Jansen got three outs for his sixth save in eight attempts after Kershaw gave up a leadoff single in the ninth by Marco Scutaro.
Lincecum (4-8) gave up four runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings and struck out four. The two-time Cy Young winner is 1-7 with a 5.24 ERA in his last eight starts since beating Atlanta 5-1 on May 12 with seven innings of two-hit ball. The Giants have scored fewer than three runs in six of Lincecum's last eight outings.
The Giants have lost four in a row and nine of 12, putting them a season-worst two games under .500 and dropping them into fourth place in the NL West. They are 3 1/2 games behind the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks.
It was the Dodgers' second three-game sweep of the season and first since April 2-4 against Pittsburgh. They got the jump on Lincecum with an RBI single in the third inning by Hanley Ramirez.
But the Giants, who came in batting a league-best .285 against left-handed starters, responded in the fourth with Posey's 10th home run after a leadoff walk to Scutaro. It was first homer by last year's NL MVP in his first 40 career at-bats against the 2011 Cy Young Award winner, and snapped a stretch of 30 consecutive innings in which the Giants hadn't held a lead.
That lead evaporated in the sixth, when the Dodgers pulled ahead to stay. Andre Ethier delivered the tying run with an RBI single and A.J. Ellis followed with a run-scoring double into the left field corner. Juan Uribe got an infield hit and Lincecum ended his night with a wild pitch to Skip Schumaker that allowed Ellis to score.
Lincecum got a break in the fifth on another overaggressive rookie mistake by Puig, who tried to stretch a two-out single into a double and was easily thrown out by left fielder Andres Torres. This was Puig's 13th multihit game and sixth with three hits since his big league debut June 3. He is batting. 435 in his first 22 contests.
NOTES: Dodgers CF Matt Kemp, who made a circus catch in the warning track to rob Scutaro of extra bases for the final out on Tuesday night in his first game off the disabled list, was not in the starting lineup but came in for defense on a double-switch in the ninth. ... This was the seventh regular-season showdown between Kershaw and Lincecum. When Kershaw won the Cy Young Award in 2011, he was 5-0 with a 1.07 ERA in six starts against the Giants that season — and four of those victories came in games that Lincecum was the opposing pitcher. ... Lincecum is 0-5 in six road starts since beating the Dodgers 5-3 on April 3 in his season debut. Barry Zito, 0-4 with an 11.28 ERA on the road, takes the ball for the opener of the Giants' three-game series at Colorado on Friday night. ... Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval has one extra-base hit in his last 78 at-bats, a two-run walkoff homer on May 21 against Yunasky Maya of the Washington Nationals. ... Kershaw has held the Giants to fewer than three runs in 17 of his l9 starts against them. ... The Giants were swept in a three-game set at Dodger Stadium for the first time since April 2009. ... The only pitchers in major league history to win three or more consecutive league ERA titles were Sandy Koufax, Lefty Grove, Greg Maddux and Roger Clemens.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw outpitched Tim Lincecum in the seventh regular-season matchup between former Cy Young Award winners, rookie Yasiel Puig had three more hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Wednesday night for a three-game sweep of the defending World Series champions.

MAN trucks for the German Skiing Association
The German Skiing Association (Deutscher Skiverband) can count on MAN as a reliable partner for commercial vehicles. As part of their partnership, two MAN TGX, each with a semitrailer, are made available to Germany's national biathlon and cross-country skiing teams as wax trucks and mobile ski workshops.
The trucks offer many advantages compared to common wax containers: mainly on account of the lack of loading time and as regards major health benefits for the technicians. Thanks to an exhaust extractor, the toxic gases created while treating the skis do not escape into the workroom.
Safely through the winter
The wax truck also offers protection against extreme weather conditions. MAN's auxiliary HydroDrive® ensures that the valuable cargo transported for the German Ski Association will definitely arrive at its destination in good time, wherever it is needed.

It sounds like a good news story, doesn't it? Nestle is really helping Ivory Coast by distributing saplings that will grow into disease-resistant cocoa trees. This will greatly boost productivity and improve the quality of the cocoa beans. But is this really a good news story? What about the quality of life for the 200,000 children who labour in the cocoa jungles of Ivory Coast? What about the child slaves trafficked from Burkino Faso and Mali included in that number? Why isn't Nestle doing something to help these children? They could've linked the distribution of these new cocoa trees to programs that are working to eliminate child slavery and end the worst forms of child labour.
The good news story is actually happening in Cameroon, the fourth largest cocoa-producing country. Companies like Mars and Cadbury have been impressed by research that shows that farmers in Cameroon cultivate cocoa trees in a more sustainable way that essentially preserves and renews the rainforest. This is in great contrast to the monoculture cocoa farms of the Ivory Coast where the rainforest is being razed and then with time the cocoa trees are becoming less productive. What impresses me even more is that Cameroon does not have the same high rate of child labour that keeps children from attending school nor is the country known for the same extensive practice of child trafficking and slavery. Martin Gilmour, UK-based cocoa research manager for Mars, says, "We would like to see farmers get higher prices for their cocoa. It would be better for both of us." And it would help to eliminate the so-called "need" for child labour. So Cargill, a big cocoa purchaser and bulk chocolate producer for companies like Cadbury and Mars, is rolling out its UTZ certification farmer training programme in Cameroon which should dramatically boost their sustainable cocoa output. This UTZ certification means working with the ILO to eliminate the worst forms of child labour which includes slavery and denial of schooling. Thus, Cameroon is already in a better position than Ivory Coast when it comes to child labour and now the chocolate companies are seeing the benefit of investing in Cameroon's cocoa production in a way that will go further to eliminating the worst forms of child labour and improving sustainability. Excellent! Now why wasn't this good news story broadcast on TV?
Finally, summer time makes is a great time to tell Hershey's that we want more from our S'mores! That's right, we want fair trade chocolate in our S'mores. Hershey's Chocolate made S'mores to be the popular treat they are, but they don't produce any fair trade chocolate bars. As a chocolate company they continue to show a resistance to doing anything about the serious child labour and slavery problem in West Africa. I mentioned above that Mars and Cadbury are speaking up and Cargill is listening, but Hershey remains silent. Raise the Bar, Hershey is an excellent website giving many practical ways for us to get involved in the fight against child slavery and abusive child labour in West Africa.
P.S. It's hard to ever truly find a good news story when it comes to cocoa coming from West Africa. The sources I cited above may have not been entirely accurate in their assessment of child labour in Cameroon's cocoa industry. This episode of the BBC World TV series "Survivors Guide" looks at the ILO's project in Cameroon. Sobering, to say the least.

It's great to see TomTom getting a little creative with a new viral video campaign to launch Star Wars Voices on their GPS devices. The viral video shows supposedly official behind the scenes footage of Darth Vader attempting to record his lines for the GPS instructions, and ofcourse, it doesn't go exactly to plan with the Lord Vader recording!
Is it just me or do you think this had the potential to be a lot funnier?! Get the new voices here.

JetBlue pilot who disrupted flight found not guilty by reason of insanity
Photo: AP
AMARILLO, Texas -- A federal judge in Texas says a JetBlue Airways pilot who disrupted a flight by running through the plane and yelling about terrorists can go free.
The ruling Friday in Amarillo comes months after Clayton Osbon was found not guilty by reason of insanity for his behavior on a March 27 flight from New York to Las Vegas. Osbon had been charged with interference with a flight crew.
A neuropsychologist testified at the bench trial in July that Osbon had a "brief psychotic disorder" brought on by lack of sleep. In August Osbon had another psychotic episode while in prison for a mental evaluation, which was ordered by U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson.
Robinson extended the evaluation before issuing her latest ruling.

This is an unlock code for most all Pantech phones worldwide. Our mobile cell phone unlock codes work by inputting a certain number (the unlock code that we give you for FREE with TrialPay) into your phone to unlock it to any provider. Let''s say that you purchased a Pantech from T-Mobile and now you wish to change to another provider.

Unfortunately, there is no way to unlock more than one phone with a code provided. If you wish to unlock multiple phones, please make multiple orders.
I was a little skeptical (okay, a lot skeptical actually) but figured I'd give the service a try (for $7.99 it seemed like an affordable gamble-and being the instant gratification junkie that I am I decided to pay up rather than wade through the offers). I received my unlock code within five minutes and had my phone unlocked about 45 seconds later. The instructions were clear, easy to understand, and the service was fast. It took me longer to read enough reviews to convince me to give it a try than it took to get from blastoff to splashdown so you can consider me to be a very satisfied customer (if there was a Happy Dance icon I'd put it right here). I'm leaving for Panama tomorrow and will need to get a prepaid service local to the country and while cell phones are plentiful and cheap I've always liked my Pantech C610 so I dug it out of the drawer it has lived in since I got my iPhone, charged it, went online and started looking for a way to unlock it. I ran across these guys and the rest, as they say, is history.

Patient discussion about tear
Q. Is ligament heating better than an arthroscopic surgery? I have a partial tear in my left knee (acl) and they wanna operate on me. I heard heating it can solve the problem. is it true?
A. i never heard of "ligament heating" from what i know- ligament has limited ability to regenerate. if partially torn it may need only physiotherapy and care. but if it's torn more then it can heal by itself- you need surgery. this is why there's orthopedics- to evaluate the situation, give you a diagnosis and the recommended treatment. it's always good to second guess because they are only human. you can ask other orthopedics and see what they say.More discussions about tear
