Background info about moss
Mosses are group of fuzzy plants that include about 12.000 species throughout the world.

Little known moss facts
Little known moss facts
1. In nature, mosses are small, soft plants that are typically 1–10 cm (0.4-4 in) tall, though some species are much larger.
2. Mosses were used as bandages during the First World War to prevent blood loss. Mosses were also used to soothe the infection since they contain chemical with anti-bacterial properties.
3. The process included in moss reproduction. Male sperm cells swim to join the female egg. One sperm cell unites with the female egg cell. The process begins again. The fertilized egg grows into a sporophyte. The sporophyte capsule bursts.
4. The largest different between moss and other plants is that mosses do not have vascular tissue (special kind of plant tissue that is used to transport water and nutrients through the plant). For this reason, mosses lack root, stem and flowers.
5. The mosses do not have flowers or seeds, and their simple leaves cover the thin wiry stems. At certain times mosses produce spore capsules which may appear as beak-like capsules borne aloft on thin stalks.
6. Moss lives near the water, it's because male and female reproductive cells travel to each other and merge in the water.
7. It is not true that moss only grows on the north side of trees. But the fact is, they will grow anywhere that has moisture and sunlight.
8. Mosses are indicators of clean environments caused they can grow only in no pollution places.
9. Without water, mosses can survive for weeks and then soak it up like a sponge when it rains.
10. Moss lifespan is not fix, it depends on the species. It ranges from couple to 10 years.

The decision on whether to grant Israel's Andy Ram a visa to play in the Barclays Dubai Championships here next week will determine whether or not the men's tournament returns to the United Arab Emirates in future years. The Association of Tennis Professionals has written directly to the UAE government, seeking not only a prompt decision but also to convey how seriously it would regard a decision to deny Ram entry. The implicit message is that a refusal would lead to the death of the tournament.
There are increasing fears that the ATP will find itself in a similar situation to the Women's Tennis Association which learned last Saturday, on the day before the start of this week's women's tournament here, that the Israeli Shahar Peer had been refused a visa. The WTA chose to go ahead with the tournament because it did not want to let down the other players, nearly all of whom were already in Dubai.
The ATP has been taking legal advice in the event of Ram's application being unsuccessful. While it cannot unilaterally scrap the tournament, which is due to begin on Monday, the ATP could "unsanction" it, which would mean that it could go ahead only as an exhibition event. With no ranking points at stake, it is doubtful whether many top players would attend.
Leading players have been consulted, but the ATP will take no action until it learns of Ram's fate. However, with security issues given as the reason for Peer's exclusion, it seems unlikely that the world No 11 doubles player will be successful. In that event the ATP will immediately make it clear that it has no intention of returning to Dubai.
There has been widespread condemnation of the UAE's stance. The Wall Street Journal European edition yesterday withdrew its sponsorship of the tournament, while the Tennis Channel, which had rights to broadcast the women's event in the United States, has chosen not to do so.
Venus Williams defended the WTA's decision to let the tournament go ahead. "We all have to look at the bigger picture," she said. "There are other people involved. We can't let our sponsors down. Whatever we do we need to plan it as a team – players, sponsors and Tour."
Williams had little trouble reaching the quarter-finals, beating France's Alize Cornet 6-3, 6-2. Her next opponent is the defending champion, Elena Dementieva, who overcame the Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-1, 6-3.
Serena Williams kept alive the prospect of a Williams sisters semi-final when she beat Jie Zheng, the Wimbledon semi-finalist, 6-4, 6-2. She now meets Ana Ivanovic, who beat France's Camille Pin 6-2, 7-6.
The day's big loser was Jelena Jankovic, who was beaten 6-2, 7-5 by the Estonian Kaia Kanepi. The world No 3 said: "It was just a horrible day. I kept framing the ball and making unforced errors. I just couldn't put two balls together. It was awful. It was another player out there, it wasn't me."

US STOCKS-Wall St rises as euro recovers against dollar
* Empire State manufacturing data misses estimates
* Manufacturing output falls for third month
* Indexes up: Dow 0.66 pct, S&P 0.64 pct, Nasdaq 0.52 pct (Adds market open, share price update)
By Sinead Carew
March 16 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks opened higher Monday and the benchmark S&P 500 rebounded after three weeks of losses as the euro strengthened against the dollar, easing some concerns over the impact of a robust greenback on corporate earnings.
Investors have been cautious ahead of a U.S. Federal Reserve statement due on Wednesday, when they expect the central bank to give a clearer signal on the timing of its first interest rate hike in almost a decade.
The S&P 500 has fallen 2.7 percent in the last three weeks, including a 0.9 percent drop last week. The Dow lost 0.6 percent last week while the Nasdaq declined 1.1 percent.
A recovery in the euro was reassuring investors, said Nick Colas, chief market strategist at brokerage Convergex, in New York, as a rapidly rising U.S. dollar would pressure U.S. corporate earnings, especially for multinationals.
"It seems like the currency markets are helping U.S. equities this morning," Colas said. "What markets are looking for is lower volatility." Continuación...

In the days leading up to the 2002 NFL Draft, Gruden kept thinking about the little 5-foot-7, 155-pound receiver and return specialist from Kansas State and imagining the ways he could use him on offense and on special teams.
"Aaron Lockett is a guy who I wore on the scouts a little bit," Gruden said. "I called him 'Rocket,' they called him Lockett. He is an extremely fast, quick, punt return man who has enough versatility to contribute as a receiver. He's made some very exciting plays at Kansas State."
Despite drafting 6-foot-3, 213-pound Marquise Walker out of Michigan with the Bucs' first pick in the third round, and already having two other giant receivers on the roster in 6-foot-4, 219-pound Keyshawn Johnson and 6-foot-5, 230-pound Joe Jurevicius, Gruden bucked the Bucs' current trend of collecting bigger wide receivers and drafted Lockett, the smallest player available in the draft and now the smallest in the NFL, with the second of Tampa Bay's four seventh-round picks (No. 254 overall).
Gruden and Bucs general manager Rich McKay became infatuated with Lockett's playmaking ability, and his speed, which was on display for all NFL teams at the Indianapolis Scouting Combine in March.
"He can run. There's no issue about that," McKay said. "I think the Combine time was 4.32 (in the 40-yard dash), and that's electronic time, which as you know, is slow. Slower than hand-timed. He ran pretty fast."
"A 4.32 was a very legitimate time," Gruden added. "He was the fastest guy at Indianapolis. He's got a chance to make explosive plays. There's no guarantee that he'll make it, but there are no guarantees in life. When this guy hits it, he hits it. We want to give him a shot. We'll try to be creative in terms of what we ask him to do, but the guy did deliver at the college level with big plays."
Lockett knew that his size limitations wouldn't have cost him as much on draft day a decade or two ago when the Washington Redskins fielded a bunch of small receivers known as "The Smurfs", and teams like the Houston Oilers and Detroit Lions ran the Run-and-Shoot offense which featured smaller, quicker pass catchers. But over the past few years, bigger has become better at the receiver position in both college and the NFL, but thankfully for Lockett, speed will always be en vogue. He knew that running a fast time at Indianapolis would become his calling card on draft day.
"That was probably the difference maker," Lockett said of his fast 40-time. "Looking at receivers these days who are 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-3, I'm not that kind of guy, but I can catch the ball. If you are going to be a smaller receiver or a slot receiver you have to possess not only quickness, but the ability to get open and stretch defenses and I feel I have that."
The Bucs knew Lockett was fast even before he ran a blistering 4.32 in the 40-yard dash at Indy. Bucs area scout Dennis Hickey, who covers the Big 12 and Big 10 regions each year, has been watching -- and timing -- Lockett for quite a while.
"I timed him as a junior in the spring and I knew he could really run," Hickey said. "There weren't many questions about Aaron. He's a good receiver who is a big-play punt returner. The question about Aaron is that there isn't a history of guys his size making it in this league, but there are always exceptions. People said that about Warrick Dunn and Warren Sapp, who is undersized for the defensive tackle position. That's why Aaron slipped this far. We think Aaron is an exception because of his toughness, speed and his production."
As Hickey noted, Tampa Bay hasn't been shy about drafting those "exceptions." In addition to Sapp and Dunn, the Bucs drafted 5-foot-8, 168-pound Florida receiver Jacquez Green with their first pick in 1998, and then spent a seventh-round draft pick on 5-foot-10 quarterback Joe Hamilton the next year.
Green departed to Washington in the offseason, which created a need for a speed receiver to stretch the field vertically so that Tampa Bay's bigger wideouts can work the intermediate and underneath routes. Lockett hopes that's where he can find his niche.
"I've known throughout the whole draft process that the Bucs were very interested in me," Lockett said. "I knew that they lost Jacquez Green and I know that Coach Gruden was coming in and trying to revamp their offense and I'm just excited about being one of the players he selected. I plan on using my speed to help them any way I can."
On a roster that already includes nine receivers, with Johnson, Jurevicius and Walker being the headliners, it is clear that Lockett faces an uphill battle to make Tampa Bay's 53-man squad and he'll have to unseat veteran receiver and punt returner Karl Williams to earn a spot on for the 2002 season. But that will be no easy task as Williams has scored four out of the five touchdowns on punt returns in the franchise's history.
"Given the fact that I can run really fast, special teams is where I can definitely utilize my speed the most," Lockett said. "I got real comfortable being a return man and we take that very seriously at Kansas State. I think they definitely groomed me and I've made the most of my opportunities. If given a chance I can have some of the same success that I had in college."
Lockett had tremendous success returning punts as a junior in 2000 when his number was called to fill in for David Allen, one of college football's all-time greatest punt returners. Allen, a senior, who had tied the NCAA record with seven touchdowns on punt returns, was injured in the season opener against Iowa, and the Wildcats' special teams unit was thought to have suffered a big blow.
But Lockett stepped in and stole Allen's job that year, returning 22 punts for 501 yards and an NCAA-leading 22.8-yard average. He also returned three punts for touchdowns, including an 83-yarder. The Wildcats lost several key blockers on special teamers after the 2000 season, and Lockett's averaged dipped to 10.8 yards with a longest return of 52 yards during his senior campaign.
Ironically, Tampa Bay came close to signing Allen during the offseason. The Bucs' eyes were opened by his 4.4 time in the 40-yard dash at Kansas State's pro day workouts in March. But after failing to make the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent last year, Allen opted to sign with Minnesota instead of Tampa Bay this spring because there was not as much competition for the punt and kick return job with the Vikings.
As fate would have it, Allen's decision not to become a Buccaneer only increased the chances that Tampa Bay would wind up drafting Lockett.
"We looked at David and he's got his own opportunity in Minnesota," Gruden said. "The one thing about Lockett is that he's got a chance to be a receiver, too. He caught 35 or 36 passes this year in a pro-style passing game, and he's got explosive speed. We'll run a reverse with him and throw the ball downfield to him. We'll try to be creative to get him some looks in the open field and see what he can do. We like what he has to offer."
While Lockett's punt return production last year never soared to the heights of his junior season, he did prove that he also had kick return ability, averaging over 28 yards per return and taking one back 97 yards for a touchdown.
"We'll take a look at him as a kickoff returner, too," Gruden said. "But you have to be careful with this man's size. He's 157 pounds. Returning kickoffs is a little different than returning a punt."
Lockett will have some "friendly" competition for the kickoff return duties as former Wildcat teammate Frank Murphy, and running backs Aaron Stecker and Byron Hanspard are also in the mix.
Lockett becomes the second K-State receiver drafted by the Buccaneers. The first was Darnell McDonald, whom Tampa Bay drafted in the seventh round in 1999. Murphy, a former K-State running back, was actually drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2000, but was claimed off of waivers by the Bucs after training camp.
A total of five Wildcats from the Bill Snyder era have been drafted by the Bucs. Tampa Bay also drafted kicker Martin Gramatica in 1999, and cornerback Rogerick Green and linebacker Elijah Alexander in 1992. They also signed running back Eric Hickson as an undrafted free agent in '99 and came close to signing Allen this offseason.
Hickey helps the Bucs keep a close eye on Snyder's program at Kansas State by visiting Manhattan several times per year observing, timing and gathering information about the Wildcats' NFL prospects.
"K-State players are always tough," Hickey said. "They are used to practicing hard. They're used to being in big games and playing on a big level of competition. They're usually guys that stick in the pros, even the guys who are drafted late -- they stick. It's a big time program that practices and plays like the pros do.
"They have some smart kids who are used to complicated systems, especially with a lot of audibles, shifts and motion. Special teams is emphasized and that's another reason why K-State guys make it because they are used to playing special teams. They are hard-working players who have paid their dues to work up the roster over time. There's not a lot of fluff at that program. They're one of the hard-working, elite programs."
Lockett is encouraged by the fact that he'll see some familiar faces in Murphy and Gramatica upon his first trip to Tampa, which will be for the team's mini-camp the weekend of April 26-28.
"It's definitely exciting," Lockett said. "Any time you go into a situation that you don't really know what to expect it's good to have some friends. I do know Martin and I do know Frank, and for that organization to have a lot of faith in Kansas State football players is extremely important to me. I'm just another guy in a long line of K-State guys who has gone on to Tampa Bay and hopefully I can make the team and make a name for myself."
Hickey said that while Lockett's smallish size may negate his blazing speed on some team's draft boards, the Bucs have studied him and watched enough film to know how tough he is.
"Although he's small, he's very tough and very durable," Hickey said. "He's produced all four years of his career. I'll say that he's one of the hardest working guys on their football team. Usually receivers aren't considered one of the more hard working guys on a team in terms of the weight room. Aaron was one of their best workers, he's smart and he comes from good stock. He brings the big-play dimension."
While Lockett must shine as a return specialist, he must legitimately beat out some accomplished wideouts and win the fifth or sixth receiver position to cement his place with the Buccaneers.
"If you watch his highlight tape, man, does he have some returns," McKay said. "We really have never designated a guy as a returner, to do both (punt and kick returns) and give him a chance to do both and make the team doing both. I think that's what we'll do with him. If he's able to make it, he'll have to make it as the fifth or sixth receiver, if we keep six. But his primary duties would be as a returner."
Lockett didn't really make his mark in college football as a receiver. His hands aren't exactly exceptional, and he saw his production decline from his best season, which came as a redshirt freshman in 1998 when he hauled in 44 receptions for 928 yards (21.1 avg.) and six touchdowns, including a school-record 97-yarder against Northeast Louisiana. He finished that game with six catches for 188 yards and two scores. But Lockett never enjoyed a moment like that as he advanced through the years in the Kansas State program.
Inconsistency at the quarterback position began after the departure of Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop in '98 and Lockett's numbers dipped. He hauled in 33 catches for 531 yards and three scores in '99 and 36 grabs for 584 yards and two touchdowns in 2000. His senior year was a disappointment, catching only 24 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns.
"It was frustrating throughout my career," Lockett said. "It seemed like every year I was getting a different quarterback. I played with four or five quarterbacks throughout my whole four-year career. At the same note, I played with Darnell McDonald for a year and Quincy Morgan for two, then I had a new guy this year playing opposite me, I was the only constant element in our offense as far as the passing game goes. If you look at my production my senior year, we had a sophomore quarterback and he was very new to the game and very inexperienced and I think it really hurt our passing game."
While Lockett's senior season with the Wildcats was disappointing, especially with the team's 6-6 finish which was capped off by a stunning 26-3 loss to Syracuse in the Insight.com Bowl, he has a reason to be optimistic about his rookie season in the NFL. Gruden and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have given the speedy, diminutive receiver and return man a chance to play at football's highest level, and that's all Lockett wants -- a chance.
"I'm looking forward to it and I owe a lot of thanks to Kansas State and the Bucs organization for making it happen," Lockett said. "I'm going to give it my best shot."

The IRM team have now finalised the quality checking of the Course Browser and Handbook for 2016, working towards a more consistent style and formatting to ensure data integrity.
We have also endeavoured to ensure that every Handbook 2016 page complies with the accessibility requirements as per the following item.
Students Website Accessibility Audit
As well as completing an accessibility audit of the Students website, Vision Australia has also completed an accessibility audit of the public website at the request of Web Services. IRM team members attended a teleconference this week where the results of the audit were discussed.
The audit provided some recommendations that should be implemented so that the public site is more compliant. As a result, IRM will be reviewing all public-facing web pages under our jurisdiction and updating any pages/content to meet these recommendations.
In addition, IRM is continuing to update Student Administration webpages within the Students site.
Course Coordinators Manual
The annual update of the Course Coordinators Manual for 2016 will commence next week.
This task will be finalised by Friday, 11 September.
Many thanks to the key stakeholders for providing their changes to IRM in a timely fashion.
ACIR Undergraduate Courses
The annual update of the ACIR website to reflect all undergraduate courses being offered by ACU in 2016 will commence next week. This task has to be completed by Friday, 11 September. ACIR is the home of publications such as "The Good Universities Guide".
There has been an upgrade to the ServiceNow server and software that houses the AskACU portal. This resulted in some downtime and there are still some unresolved issues surrounding the functionality and presentation of AskACU, particularly when using Internet Explorer.
As a result, during the past week, there were only 214 visits registered with the most popular articles being:
|Article Title
|ACU Dress Code
|How do I transfer to ACU from another university?

In 1998 State Parks underwent a public planning process to identify natural, cultural, and recreational issues and establish land classifications for Beacon Rock State Park. In 2001 State Parks adopted the Beacon Rock State Park Management Plan to address the issues identified through the public planning process.
Washington State Parks is currently in the process of updating the 2001 Management Plan to address changes that have occurred at the park including property acquisition, evolving recreational needs and on-going resource management issues. This review will result in updated management recommendations for the park.
Background Beacon Rock State Park is a 5,100-acre year-round camping park with historic significance dating back hundreds of years. At over 840 tall, Beacon Rock is the core of an ancient volcano. A mile-long trail to its summit provides outstanding panoramic views of the Columbia River Gorge. The park has over 20 miles of roads and trails open to hiking, mountain biking and equestrian use.

Do not worry so much about future symptoms as in 90% of such cases are treated without surgical intervention...you can consult a physiotherapist and do regular exercises and apart from that rest is also important... All the best... Thank you

EDM, MAMA & Company And Forrest Join Walking With The Wounded As Team Partners
We are delighted to have LDC returning to pledge its support as Title Partner of the Walking With The Wounded Trois Etapes Cycle Team – their support in 2012 was crucial.
In addition to the support of LDC, this year we are proudly able to announce that we have been joined by three new Team Partners: EDM, MAMA & Company and Forrest. Their support and participation gives us a fantastic chance of success, both in terms of the race and with regard to fundraising.
EDM Group is a leading information management business services provider and has clients ranging from the NHS to Nationwide Building Society. Fergus Williams, Operations Director of Walking With The Wounded said he was "thrilled to have the support of EDM" who he described as "hands on and proactive" in their support of the Walking With The Wounded Trois Etapes Cycle Team.
MAMA & Company is a leading integrated live music and artist services business, operating throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Their support is hugely valued and will bring the message of Walking With The Wounded to a huge new audience.
Forrest operates in the housing contractor sector and works in over 24,000 occupied homes every year, undertaking elemental and multi-elemental replacement programmes. Their support is welcome and Walking With The Wounded is grateful for their generosity in partnering with us for the Trois Etapes in July 2013.
"We are obviously delighted to be partnering with Walking With The Wounded for this year's Trois Etapes. The charity has come so far since its inception a few years ago and we're pleased we can be part of their latest ambitious project."
– Ted Macdougal, Forrest
The support of the Title Partner, LDC, and the Team Partners is vital to the success of this arduous cycling event. It is hoped that the project will raise in excess of £50,000 which will go directly to provide training for wounded servicemen and women, so as to equip them with the necessary skills to find long-term civilian employment.

If you heat your home or apartment with heating oil, you are responsible for regularly inspecting your tank and the remediation of any polluted soil. This is the case for owners, tenants and landlords. Did you know that the user of the land is the one who is obligated to remediate? So even if you are a tenant, you are at risk.
Over 3% of heating oil tanks will leak at some point in the lifetime, often due to rust. However, contamination can also occur when filling up your tank. In both cases, you are the one who must cover the costs of soil remediation, i.e. cleaning up the contaminated soil. The costs can total thousands of euros.
KBC's Soil Contamination Insurance offers you good protection. This insurance covers all remediation costs up to 60,000 euros. KBC will also take care of the organisation of the compulsory remediation for you, in accordance with the prescribed procedure.
Do you already have fire insurance from KBC? Then you can add Soil Contamination Insurance to your existing home insurance policy.

A UK designer is facing a battle with high street chain Marks & Spencer after she accused the store of copying her design in its range of framed wall prints.
Louise Verity, who runs independent art businesses Bookishly, says M&S is selling nearly identical designs to hers.
The designs, which have large messages printed on top of old pages from dictionaries, have been sold by Verity since 2009.
The 31-year-old says M&S, which sells the products both online and in store, is using a similar font and placing the slogans in the same position.
After seeing the M&S products in November last year, Verity asked for legal advice from a lawyer, who wrote to the retailer suggesting that it was in breach of copyright.
In response, M&S's legal representatives said they did not believe the retailer was infringing copyright.
Verity told WIPR: "M&S keeps saying that I don't own and cannot claim rights on the idea and that the style is an established design practice, but I never claimed the concept was my idea.
"The problem I have is that it's a very distinct style and I use the same font in everything I do. The M&S product uses the same font and the layout looks like one of mine."
Phil Sherrell, partner at Bird & Bird LLP in London, said disputes involving the alleged copying of art are hard for courts to resolve.
"Mrs Verity will feel that a 'Goliath' has stolen her idea, whereas M&S will no doubt argue that superimposing new text on existing printed pages is just a high level concept that is too broad to be protected," Sherrell said.
"In practice the question of access will be very important – if M&S can be shown to have looked at Mrs Verity's works first and then come up with its own version then it may struggle to get a judge's sympathy."
Verity continued: "I have around 40 stockists and exhibits at trade shows around the country, so it's definitely possible [that M&S had seen the product]."
Sherrell added that while Verity may feel daunted at the prospect of taking on M&S due to costs involved, the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court may offer "some comfort".
"The level of costs for which the losing party can potentially be liable is strictly capped at £50,000 and awards are often a lot smaller, but even that level of risk will be outside the comfort zone of many," Sherrell said.
Verity added: "It's difficult for a company of my size to pursue it further because of the expense attached to it. The next stage seems hugely expensive."
A spokesperson for M&S told WIPR that it takes claims of IP infringement "extremely" seriously.
"We've investigated this thoroughly and determined that the technique of overlaying text on print is a common design practice. We've already been in touch with Bookishly directly and we're happy to follow up with them if they have any further questions."

Oops, wrong "learning" address (sorry!)/Jeff: YES!/Wendi: COL/OVF/et al
Expand Messages
- Dear Jeff and All,Apologies for the wrong address re "learning"...this mail has just gone to a friend who runs the Learning and Development Kenya organization in Nakuru (so sorry, Philip!), but that may be a happy coincidence, as LDK is also focused on just the kind of things we are: development, education, ICTs, helping orphans and vulnerable children, health/care. Philip, I can tell you more if interested, and would love to reconnect in any case. I'll cc now "Learning From Each Other", the intended recipient.Jeff, a HUGE BRAVO for being up and running in Ghana, and for COL's support of same. Yes indeed, it will be wonderful to consider collaboration, and I will write a networking mail on this soon to GRASSUP. They are meeting this weekend, after a short hiatus, and are set to be on track for starting G-UP Phase 2 by the end of June, we hope.I have many other things to follow up on with you in particular, so will hope to do that soon. One other thing for now: I see that Wendi of Actwid K in Cameroon has written to you, and wanted to say, Wendi, that there has been some discussion among us before abt linkage (I've mentioned AK to Joy and Jeff, for example, and they know something of your work from Franz, too).It would be fantastic if we can all work together, so hope we can discuss this. Wendi, OVF-Ghana has received support from COL--the same org you applied to for the COL-P grant--and what we need to do re COL is spend more time and focus on how you too might benefit from a grant.This past cycle the time was too short to do a project which was truly cohesive enough, I think, but there is enough combined experience among us now with COL (including with Pam and David of CAWD, KAIPPG-GRASSUP, and OVF) that we should be able to help for next year's grant cycle, hopefully with more positive results. In the meantime, let's figure out what is possible.Wendi, how abt applying for the HIV/AIDS and Food Security conference in Benin? Deadline is FRIDAY JUNE 15th, and you will need to submit an abstract in order to be a participant, or at least one considered for a scholarship. It's possible that Kafui Prebbie from OVF-Ghana will also apply, so you might get to meet him. Jeff, Kafui?Thanks and will be in touch as soon as I can! Blessings and excitement, Janet

Janet, now that we have officially begun the COL program in Ghana, I would like to consider any ideas on how we can practically collaborate in terms of incorporating GRASSUP's work into our developing program in Ghana.

This is the body's way of saying it needs something, and we in turn need to listen.It's very important for our individual health and well-being, and that of the planet as a whole...so know that taking care of yourself is helping the rest of the world (not to put too much pressure on you to relax, haha!).We are sending healing thoughts and love your way, and hope you are up and running (or at least walking) soon!! Janetps David (and Pam!), it's exciting you were at the Nairobi meeting you mentioned in one of your last posts, where I believe you may have met Krishna Alluri of COL? Our individual and collective paths are crossing, as he met with members of the Kenya-based ICTs coalition, GRASSUP, in which my org is involved (KAIPPG). Some great opportunities for collaboration may emerge for links between CAWD-GRASSUP- OVF and more, including those w/whom we are working in related MS forums in Kenya and Tanzania.

Visiting Research Fellow presents on research approaches and advanced statistics in Behavioural and Health Research
Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow Professor Bert Steenbergen and his PhD students Maaike van Rooijen and Ingar Zielinski presented a two part series workshop across ACU campuses through video conference on 19 and 20 November 2013.
The workshop titled 'Research Approaches and Advanced Statistics in Behavioural and Health Research' covered current issues in developmental disorders research, research approaches for developmental disorders (especially those affecting movement and cognition), advanced techniques of structural equation modelling, multi-level modelling and resolving electrophysiological data.
Professor Dr Bert Steenbergen is a full professor with the assignment 'Perception and action problems' at the Behavioural Science Institute of the Radboud University Nijmegen. An important feature of his work is the relation between fundamental research and the application of this research in the field of rehabilitation and education for individuals with visual and motor impairments.
Professor Steenbergen said: "My visit to ACU has been very useful for strengthening the research collaboration between ACU and Radboud University. I foresee a very interesting collaboration among both universities in particular with respect to fundamental and applied research in children with motor disorders and also with respect to student exchanges between both universities. My visit greatly helped in making the research plans more concrete, and it already resulted in two papers on the topic that will be submitted before the end of this year. And there is yet more to come!"
"The workshop has provided great exposure to the expertise of Prof Steenbergen and his team," said Professor Peter Wilson, Head, National School of Psychology.
"It paves the way for many fruitful exchanges between ACU and Radboud University at the level of teaching and research."

As a compliment to the newly remanufactured quarter vent seals I have decided to make available my own version of door quarter vent base seals. I am aware remanufactured seals are available from the traders, but I find these are not to my standard and I wish for a better product to fit on my own car.
Producing quality seals will require purpose made tooling for moulding the required shape. As is typical mould tooling is not cheap; these costs can only be recuperated by making these parts in quantities and offering for sale. Fortunately these parts also fit the Se5 and 5A as far as I know; this will help increase the likely hood of volume sales potential hopefully.
Much research has now been devoted to constructing these seals, and with several fresh ideas in mind work on making the tooling has started.
These new moulded seals will incorporate several improvements over what is currently available, and will feature;
Left and right handed seals,
Improved fit and sealing,
Matching indentations moulded into the rubber for frame projections clearance,
Moulded from premium modern rubber,
Long service life and no shrinkage.
I have yet to work out a final cost for the finished seals, but will try for a price at least comparable to what is currently available.

As some of you know, my family recently made the move from California to Texas. There were several compelling reasons. Some were economic, some were political and some were personal. So it seems timely that the following story which unfolded this week poignantly illustrates why I've chosen the Lone Star State as my new home. Read on.
Texas State Rep. David Simpson introduced House Bill 1937 which makes it a crime whenever any government employee –
"Intentionally subjects another person to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that the actor [he] knows is unlawful;
intentionally denies or impedes another person in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, knowing the actor's [his] conduct is unlawful; or
intentionally subjects another person to sexual harassment;
while acting under color of the person's office or employment without probable cause to believe the other person committed an offense:
performs a search for the purpose of granting access to a publicly accessible building or form of transportation; and
intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly:
touches the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of the other person, including touching through clothing; or
touches the other person in a manner that would be offensive to a reasonable person."
Although the bill is meant to define boundaries of conduct for any government employee, this proposed legislation clearly was aimed at those working for the Transportation Security Administration. It was Texas's response to increasingly unreasonable methods of civilian search being forced upon the public as the only alternative to a full-body radiation scan. And Texas's response seems appropriate since TSA's new "groping" mandate has been generating rather controversial headlines this year, including
- The groping of former Miss USA Susie Castillo, who was so upset and humiliated after the experience that she was seen crying on video.
- The groping of a six year old girl.
- The pat down of an eight-month-old infant as she lay cradled in her mother's the arms.
So the Texas Legislature said enough is enough. H.B. 1937 passed the House unanimously 138-0. Unfortunately, it was on its way to an anticipated unanimous vote in the Senate when the TSA descended upon the Texas statehouse Tuesday. By the time the Feds were done threatening Texas's congressional leaders, both verbally and in writing, Senate sponsor Dan Patrick withdrew the bill. Why? Because bureaucrats working for Obama's executive branch warned that they would shut down every airport in Texas if the bill was not stopped dead in its tracks. In essence, they would create a no-fly zone across the great state. And in order to generate an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear, the Feds waited until the 11th hour to flex their muscle. No time for debate, deliberation or even legal counsel.
I won't bore you with all the details regarding the drama of outrage expressed, both by the Texas State Legislature as well as the citizens of Texas themselves who held a vigil of their own Wednesday in Austin protesting the federal government's blunt usurping a Texan sovereignty. But I would like to suggest that this fiasco is ratcheting up resentment in the heartland as states increasingly express their contempt for an administration bent on ignoring the Constitution and rule of law. Look no further than healthcare, immigration and now even your right to move freely about the country.
Of course, there are two sides to every story. If you're a fan of Obama, then you probably subscribe to the argument that states HB 1937 violated the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article. VI. Clause 2). It is a clause which says that federal law prevails when it conflicts with either the state constitution or state law. Specifically:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
TSA interprets this, in their words, as preventing "states from regulating the federal government."
But if you're a constitutionalist instead of a bureaucrat, then you probably also know that the Supremacy Clause only applies if the federal government is acting within the boundary of its constitutionally authorized powers. So this begs the question; where in the United States Constitution does it grant federal bureaucrats the power to implement policies and operational procedures that violate the sanctity of and respect for the human body?
Taking the argument one step further, you can also reference the fourth amendment:
" The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Personally, I believe that the federal government stepped way over the line in interpreting the Supremacy Clause to mean that unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats have unlimited power to trample states rights. I also think TSA strong-arm tactics of descending upon the Texas State Capital in order to stop legislation from moving forward under threat of force is an egregious abuse of their authority.
But getting past all that, perhaps there is a bigger picture. In this instance, TSA's muscle flexing has little to do with passenger safety or airport security or stopping terrorists, unless of course, the terrorist profile fits Miss America. Rather, it's a test to see just how far the federal government can push aside state sovereignty while ignoring constitutional law. It's a test to see how much fear can be instilled upon the psyche of Americans outside the Beltway. We are rapidly becoming a police state under this administration, for that's the mentality of this administration. It's a mentality which firmly believes that the intellectual elites know what's best for the rest of us and have every right to implement their will by force, fear and intimidation, without regard for opposing opinion or constitutional limits on government authority.
After all, if the TSA is not permitted to grope airline passengers, then the only reasonable thing to do is shut down every airport in Texas. Right?

A High Quality Municipal Bond Portfolio with Low Interest-Rate Exposure
"Low Duration Municipal Fund is a short-term ladder with a duration around 1.5 years. The fund offers two great advantages: it aims for a very stable net asset value, making it attractive for those with a short investment horizon, and it's positioned to quickly take advantage of any increases in short-term interest rates. If short rates rise, as is widely expected by economic forecasters, this should be our first tax-exempt fund to reflect them."
– Nick Venditti
A Short-Term Ladder
Laddering is one means by which we mitigate some of the forms of risk inherent in bond investing. This portfolio invests in maturities on the short end of the yield curve.
Investing a relatively even amount in each year of the ladder gives us a predictable source of organic cash flows for reinvestment in every environment, whether short rates are low, as they are now, or whether they are relatively high, as they were in 1999 and 2009.
Stable Net Asset Value
The fund is designed to have a relatively stable net asset value (NAV), for investors with a shorter time horizon.
It's an investment-grade portfolio, so that credit risk (and the risk of higher price fluctuations that may accompany lower-quality bonds) is kept to a moderate level. Of course, many factors contribute to price fluctuation, including market forces and a fund's structure.
Any potential price fluctuation due to higher short-term rates should — given the short term of Low Duration Municipal Fund's laddered structure — be mitigated quickly as bonds mature and are replaced.
Positioned to Take Advantage of Short-Term Rate Increases
The municipal bond markets typically have a large supply of floating-rate bonds whose rates reset at relatively short intervals. As the Federal Reserve gradually raises short-term rates, these bonds will reflect the higher rates almost immediately, and because they are floating-rate instruments, without a price decline.
This should be the first Thornburg municipal portfolio to capture the benefits of higher short rates.
It's important for investors to match their investment horizon to the duration of the strategy in which they're invested, and to diversify tax-exempt assets across the yield curve.
This is why Thornburg offers a range of strategies — from the Low Duration Municipal Fund on the short end to the Strategic Municipal Income Fund on the long end — to provide a home to match every time horizon.

Washington, Nov 30 (ANI): Ever wondered why is one person's IQ higher than another's? Well, a new research has answered this question.
According to a University of Oregon study, more items stored in short-term memory is linked to greater fluid intelligence, as measured in IQ tests.
The resolution of those memories, while important in many situations, shows no relationship with fluid intelligence.
Previous research has shown that capacity in short-term memory is a reliable predictor of an individual's IQ.
However, the new study has tried to link the memory capacity with fluid intelligence.
"The number of things people can remember is robustly correlated with fluid intelligence-the larger number remembered, the higher the IQ," said Edward Awh, a member of the Oregon Visual Working Memory and Attention Lab.Clarity relates to how well a person can detect small changes," said lead author Keisuke Fukuda.
This clarity, Fukuda and Awh noted, is indeed important but is a reflection of a person's experience in specific domains of perception.
Fukuda put 79 undergraduate students through a series of experiments in which either four or eight objects were shown on a screen for an instant. After a one-second blank screen, one item was returned and the subject asked whether that object had been in a location previously.
By examining the ability to detect large and small changes in the memorized items, Fukuda was able to get estimates of both the number of items maintained in memory, as well as the resolution or clarity of those memories. These aspects of memory were then related to the subjects' scores on tests of fluid intelligence.
The discovery that clarity doesn't factor into a person's IQ score doesn't suggest that memory resolution is unimportant, noted the researchers.
The importance of clarity or resolution of things remembered is indeed vital, for example, to a radiologist studying images of a patient's internal organs with potential disease conditions.
The findings were published in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin and Review. (ANI)
