The Takeaway is joined by Wangari Maathai Nobel Prize winning activist, founder of the Greenbelt Movement, and author of the new book, The Challenge for Africa, about her vision for the future. Her life is subject of the documentary Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai, which premiered on the PBS series Independent Lens this week. Click through for the transcript. Here is a preview of the documentary: Transcript Femi Oke: Lately it seems that everybody has an opinion on how to deal with the problems facing Africa: poverty, disease and political turmoil. They're all pitching in. But how many people have solutions that actually work? Dr. Wangari Maathai, she's a Nobel Peace Prize winning activist and founder of the Green Belt Movement, which taught women how to plant plenty of trees all over Kenya. She chose to focus on deforestation in Africa. She started in Kenya and you could say she started a green revolution and she was the commander of that revolution. I want you to have a listen to Dr. Maathai taking on the authorities in Kenya. She's fierce. Recording of Dr. Maathai: We want honesty! We want justice! If we are going to shed blood because of our land, we will! We are used to that. Our forefathers shed blood for land! We will do so. This is my blood. Femi Oke: Good morning, Dr. Troublemaker. Take us back to that scene. When was it? Where was it? What was happening? Wangari Maathai: [Laughs] That scene was at Karuru Forest. For those who know Nairobi, it's a forest that kind of encircles Nairobi, or forms a semicircle around Nairobi. It's a very old forest. It's a forest that always separated the savannahs from the highlands. And it is a very, very important part of Nairobi, it freshens the air of Nairobi. It's a very important part of a clean and healthy environment for Nairobians. Femi Oke: Anybody who is African or who knows anything about Africa will know you because you're the first Nobel laureate from the African continent. The first female Nobel laureate. So you're extremely famous. But there are people out there who don't know your work, and a good introduction is a film coming out on PBS and that's on April 14. It's called Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai. It premiers next week. How long did it actually take you to film that documentary? Wangari Maathai: I want to pay tribute to Alan and Lisa, a couple from Vermont who actually tried very, very hard to capture the story for almost five years. They started before the price and had to start all over again over the price. They really paid a lot of attention to the story and tried to understand the story behind the story. I think they've done justice and will help people to understand the many challenges that people face in Africa. Femi Oke: I just want to emphasize that you are a huge celebrity and you get followed around all over the world and people come up to you and hug you. Ibrahim [Abdul-Matin, The Takeaway sports blogger] was just shaking your hand, he was honored to meet you. How does it feel, then, to take all of that adoration on and then see it in a documentary? How comfortable were you with what they put together? Wangari Maathai: Well I'm quite comfortable to talk about my experiences and narrate this story, but sometimes it is uncomfortable looking at a film and looking at myself. That I'm not used to. Femi Oke: You also have a book out, so you're seriously doing some branding for yourself here. The book is called The Challenge for Africa. A lot of people talking about Africa, how do we fix Africa, what is different about your angle that you're taking? Wangari Maathai: I have a special angle because, first of all, I'm an African. I have been in Africa working at a grassroots level, working with the people and trying to face these challenges, and the book is a reflection of how I have tried to understand these challenges and deal with them, and to a certain extent offer suggestion on what I think we should be doing in order to help Africa get out of the stereotype that we now have around the world of poverty, underdevelopment and such. Femi Oke: I've got the book here, and it's — let me just go through it because I was reading it the other day — it is over 300 pages long. So it's going to be mean of me to be specific about challenges. Everyone talks about challenges, African solutions, blah, blah, blah, but you're a bit more specific, where do you think that Africans can actually fix Africa? Wangari Maathai: Some of the issues I raise that I usually don't discuss, the issue is tribe, which in this book I refer to as micro-nationality. We need to recognize that we are micro-nations, that what we refer to as tribes are micro-nations, that we need to accept each other, we need to understand each other. We are not one, we cannot meld overnight, but we need to embrace each other then work towards accepting that we have to create a state. We need to accept that the states we now have are a superficial state created by superpowers about 100 years ago, not by the African people. And part of the problems that we are still dealing with is because of that superficiality of the state and the fact that we see ourselves as micro nations so that our loyalty is toward that micro nation rather than toward the big nation. That is one issue that I think is new and is often overlooked. The other issue that I raise is the issue of culture. And I say, is culture the missing link? Because Africans, when they were colonized, some of them were really brutally colonized. Their culture was destroyed, it was trivialized it was demonized, and as a result they come out of that experience cultureless, without values of their own, without traditional values they can reflect on. Femi Oke: And Dr. Maathai, you describe culture as being wisdom. So culture is more than just your food, your music, your dancing, it's wisdom. Now let me get on to your book in terms of a more practical sense. I'm feeling it here and I'm looking at it and it looks like it's recycled paper. Wangari Maathai: Precisely. And because we are environmentalists we also embrace the concept of reuse, reduce, recycle. So we are very conscious of the fact that we want to protect the environment. We especially want to protect our trees. So we asked our publisher, Pantheon, if they could come up with recycled paper, and they did! Thank you very much. Femi Oke: It's all about you in the next couple weeks. We've got April 14, which is when Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai is out. That's all about your background, your history. Your book is coming out on April 14 as well. Do you feel this pressure to keep producing material all of the time? Wangari Maathai: Well I think in many ways this is a wonderful coincidence. Femi Oke: Really? No… Wangari Maathai: The two projects have been running parallel. As I said the film has been going on for the last five years. And it just happened that the film was ready, the book was ready and both of them came out at about the same time and so I came here to the United States in order to participate in the launching and encourage people to read. I think that people who want to understand Africa, want to understand some of the challenges we're facing, need to read this book. Femi Oke: That's a pitch and a half. We do have one question in from a listener. It's from a Femi in Brooklyn and she wants to ask you, Dr. Maathai, will you adopt her? Wangari Maathai: Well, I guess we need to talk about that. Femi Oke: I know adoptions are banned for foreigners in Malawi, but perhaps in Kenya they will still adopt a 40-something year old. Wangari Maathai: In Kenya we do, we will certainly adopt you. Come with me today!

Post lunch blood sugar test
Testing your blood sugar levels is a diagnosis for diabetes. The test may be recommended either before your lunch or after your lunch; as both the types have some significance.
Here we shall deal with post lunch blood sugar test which is also known as postprandial glucose test. We shall explain you the test below:
Why is post lunch blood sugar test recommended?
This test is recommended as a screening test for diabetes. Everyone can take up the test. However, it is mandatory for those who have insulin related disorders and are at high risk of having diabetes.
Sponsored sites
Apart from this, post lunch blood sugar test also helps to assess improvement in your diabetes. If you are a diabetic patient then this test would be a part of your diabetes care regimen.
Secondly, it is also a screening test for gestational diabetes for pregnant women. They might need to undergo this test throughout their pregnancy.
Explaining post lunch blood sugar test
From the name you can guess that this test is done after your lunch. Our sugar level usually rises after meal which is then stabilized by the hormone insulin. It takes 2 hours for the hormone to remove the sugar from the blood and metabolize it for the production of energy. People who have diabetes do not make enough insulin and the sugar spike remains after a meal, i.e. it is not normalized. Thus, from this test your doctor can diagnose diabetes.
How to prepare for the test?
Your doctor might ask you to eat a high carbohydrate meal or a particular size of lunch on the day of the test. Once your lunch is over, you cannot eat anything before the test.
Sponsored Links
How is the test performed?
The test is very simple. It is done after 2 hours of your lunch. You need to visit the hospital and the nurse/technician will collect your blood sample from a vein in your arm. The sample would be tested for blood sugar.
Interpretation of post lunch blood sugar test reports
According to american diabetic association for non diabetic normal blood sugar levels are 70 to 140 mg/dl one to two hours after a meal. Blood sugar levels below 70mg/dl is considered as low blood sugar or hypoglycaemia.
What interferes with post lunch blood sugar test result?
Sponsored sites
Your physical activity (exercise) and mental state like emotional stress, depression, etc. interfere with test reports. If you eat anything in between the period of lunch and the test, then your blood sugar results are bound to vary and you have to give the test again.
Efficiency of post lunch blood sugar test
The test is effective if you follow your doctor's instructions carefully before giving your blood. Post lunch blood sugar test is usually paired with pre meal test or pre-prandial test. This improves the efficiency of the test and helps your doctor evaluate the fluctuation in blood sugar levels between the meals.
It is for the same reason, you might need to undergo glucose fast test, glucose tolerance test and A1C test along with pre and post lunch test.

I want to start off by saying that I have recently given my formal notice to a well known restaurant in my state wu a well known chef. I am leaving because as a full time line cook the hours range from 33-37, as we are not open on the weekends. This made it difficult to save any money. The other problem is that this restaurant is not busy and never has been since I started a year ago. Never any buzz or action. It's run by larger company who happens to own the building.... so will never close. I have given my 2 weeks and accepted a job at a place much less organized and clean as far as other cooks working habits. I had an interview and during my trail I was asked to create an entree and a desert with any products in the kitchen.......to display my skill level. I did this and I believe I impressed them. They gave me the job and ai think I may have taken it out of haste, I feel as though I could have picked a better restaurant to work for. I now have agreed to work at this place and can not stop thinking about the fact that i may have made a bad choice that I will pick up bad habits and become lazy. I guess what I'm looking for is somone to tell me that there is potential for me to change the habits and bring my own. I am resting on my knowledge of the sous chefs soon departure to help me feel confident that I may be the person to replace him. This restaurant is BUSY....cluttered and chaotic....but busy

Los Angeles, CA (The Weekly Vice) – McDonald's famous Happy Meals might become a little less happy in the very near future: a watchdog group, called the Center for Science in the Public Interest, served the mega-corporation with a letter on Tuesday, demanding that McDonald's discontinue including toys in their kids meals or else they'd sue.
The letter arrived weeks after a county in the Silicon Valley became the first to ban the toys from Happy Meals and is the latest attempt by health advocacy groups to regulate the way fast food merchants market their products to children.
Over the past few years, McDonald's has been offering healthier alternatives in their Happy Meals like milk or juice in lieu of soda, or apple slices (served with caramel dipping sauce) rather than French fries.
The company has also been required to post nutritional information inside their restaurants and have removed the option to "supersize" menu options.
But Stephen Gardner, the litigation director for CSPI, insists that McDonald's could be doing more and is in fact feeding – so to speak – in to the nation's rapidly escalating problem with childhood obesity, comparing them to "the stranger in the playground handing out candy to children."
A McDonald's spokesperson, William Whitman, disagrees wholeheartedly with this assertion, stating that their meals are "right-sized for kids" noting the healthier options now made available. The food industry, as a whole has also urged parents to take ownership of the things they allow their children to eat.
Whether you believe the CSPI's viewpoint that the inclusion of toys in kids' meals is meant to draw kids towards fatty, high calorie foods, or you feel like McDonald's has done its part as a socially-conscious corporation to keep our kids healthy, one thing is certain: the Happy Meal probably won't be anything like what we had when we were kids.

You Can Live and Work in the U.S.
If you are not a U.S. citizen you can legally live and work in the United States as long as you obtain one of the immigrant visas that are available to foreign nationals. Many of these visa programs are targeted at people with special work skills or for people who wish to invest in businesses that provide jobs in the U.S. Many engineers, scientists, and doctors apply for these types of visas. Many successful entrepreneurs who wish to try their hand at business, U.S. style, apply for what are often called "permanent visas."
According to the State Department, "U.S. immigration laws enacted by Congress provide authority over immigration matters, including entry and exit of all travelers across the nation's borders, determining who may enter, how long they may stay, and when they must leave. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) in Title 8 of the United States Code, provides the foundation for immigration law, along with its amendments."
As U.S. immigration lawyers will tell you, one of the most important documents that applicants need when applying for a business or employment related visa is a comprehensive business plan. The business plan is so critical because it documents that the business you wish to acquire or launch or for which you will become a senior executive is sustainable. It supports the fact that the applicant will be able to "stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment" according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the government agency that oversees lawful immigration to the United States.
In many instances, for those applying for a business or employment related visa, the terminology is foreign, the process is complicated, and the application is nearly impossible without the assistance of an attorney who specializes in immigration applications. Information on U.S. immigrant visas can be found on the USCIS website as well as the website for the American Immigration Lawyers Association and immihelp.com. You can also find information on the U.S. Department of State website.
I am often asked if the American government prefers that visa applicants invest in one kind of business over another. The answer is no, as long as you are creating jobs for American workers. Plan on bringing some capital, bring your talent and skills, and plan to spur growth and provide jobs. Here are some of the types of businesses that Cayenne Consulting's clients have invested in or joined in the past few years:
- Aviation consultancy
- Fertility clinic and sperm bank
- General construction
- Franchised restaurant stores
Every U.S. Visa applicant will enhance their chances of success by allowing plenty of time, getting help from a specialist attorney who will put the client's interests first, and, if applying for a business related visa, develop a first class business plan that will enable you to distinguish yourself as a capable, successful business person.

Results imply CST5 as an important mediator of tumor suppression by p53 (show TP53 Proteins) in colorectal cancer.
These results support an unanticipated role of cystatin D in the cell nucleus, controlling the transcription of specific genes involved in crucial cellular functions, which may mediate its protective action in colon cancer.
activation of the RhoA (show RHOA Proteins)-ROCK-p38MAPK (show MAPK14 Proteins)-MSK signaling pathway is essential for the regulation of the phenotype and of the CST5/cystatin D candidate tumor suppressor and other target genes by 1,25(OH)2D3 in colon cancer cells
Compared with its homologues, cystatin D presents an unusual inhibition profile with a preferential inhibition cathepsin S (show CTSS Proteins) > cathepsin H (show CTSH Proteins) > cathepsin L (show CTSL1 Proteins) and no inhibition of cathepsin B (show CTSB Proteins) or pig legumain (show LGMN Proteins).
Cystatin D is a candidate tumor suppressor gene induced by vitamin D in human colon cancer cells.
Cst10 may play an important role in the last steps of the chondrocyte differentiation pathway as an inducer of maturation, followed by apoptosis of chondrocytes
Data show that cystatin (show CST3 Proteins) 10 (carminerin) contributes to chondrocyte calcification during endochondral ossification under physiological and pathological conditions through the transcriptional inhibition of NPP1 (show ENPP1 Proteins).
The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a protein found in saliva and tears. The encoded protein may play a protective role against proteinases present in the oral cavity.

The Samsung Moment? The Motorola Cliq? The HTC Magic? The BlackBerry Tour?
Maybe I don't spend enough time shopping for Google (goog) Android phones, but I always get a kick out of the Top 20 Mobile Phone lists -- measured by ad impressions -- that Millennial Media posts each year.
In the 2011 report issued Thursday there weren't many surprises at the top of the list.
Apple's (aapl) iPhone, the No. 1 best seller in 2010, was No. 1 again in 2011. Research in Motion's (rimm) BlackBerry Curve was still No. 2, Motorola's (mmi) Droid was still No. 3, etc.
The only newcomer among the top 5 was the LG Optimus 5, which came from nowhere to take the No. 4 spot.
It's in the rest of 2010's list that things get interesting. Apparently there is so much churn in the Android market that more than half of the phones in 2010's Top 20 fell completely off the list in 2011.
You can almost hear the marketing departments' desperation in the names they chose for those devices destined to be quickly forgotten: Passion, Storm, Vibrant, Cliq, Clutch, Hero, Incredible, Smooth, Dream.
The Samsung Moment, indeed.
The Xs in the 2010 Top 20 list below mark the devices that fell off the 2011 list. For the 2011 list -- and the rest of Millennial Media's Year in Review, click here.

"Phishing" is a term used to describe a specific set of tactics used to acquire personal information from you. This set of tactics includes sending e-mail and/or setting up websites that appear as though they're legitimately from a company with whom you do business. For example, you may see an email that looks like it came from a social networking site you frequent. That email might say something like "we've locked your account and need to verify [some piece of information] so please visit this link to login and enter the information." In reality, the e-mail and the website it links to are fraudulent.
Assessing the Threat
Phishing is something you should take seriously, but it's little more than a nuisance if you know what to look for. If you can spot an attempt at phishing, you can quickly stop it in its tracks.
How to Spot a Phisher
It's easy to tell whether you've received a phishing email or legitimate communication from a trusted company. As a general rule, businesses won't ask for personal information via email or instant messaging. So if an e-mail or message just doesn't feel right—don't respond. Instead, simply contact the company directly via telephone or their legitimate website. And of course, it just makes sense to ignore email attachments and links in emails if you do not personally know the sender. If you believe you have received a phishing email regarding your Ally Bank account, forward it to email@example.com, and then delete it from your inbox.
Common Sense Phishing Protection and Tips
Again, phishing isn't an issue you should ignore, but there are some common sense ways to protect yourself:
- Install security software and keep it updated.
- Use updated web browsers.
- Don't share personal information on social networking sites.
- Verify that online requests for money from friends or other contacts are legitimate.
- Avoid downloading files from unknown sources.
- Log off of your online session when you're done.
- Don't click on links within email messages without making note of where the URL links to. Most browsers let you do this by displaying the information when you either "hover" your cursor over the link without clicking or by right-clicking first.
Protecting Your Online Banking Experience
When it comes to keeping the annoyance of phishing out of your online banking experience, you can also:
- Set up e-mail alerts about account activity.
- Use electronic statements, which can reduce the risk of mail fraud.
- Check to ensure you're using a secure site before entering your username and password. A secure site's URL will begin with "https," rather than "http."
- Review your accounts regularly.
At Ally Bank, we want you to be safe and secure when you bank with us online. If you ever find an unauthorized transaction made on your Ally Bank account, report it to us within 60 days from when we make your statement available to you. To learn more about all of our practices and products, go to Allybank.com or call live, 24/7 customer care at 877-247-ALLY (2559) today.

NORTHBROOK, Ill. – Northern Arizona redshirt junior running back Corbin Jountti has been named to the 2016 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team®, announced today by Allstate Insurance Company and the AFCA. Twenty-four college football players and one honorary head coach received one of the most coveted off-the-field honors in college football. The Good Works Team® award is celebrating 25 years of recognizing college football players who dedicate their time to bettering the community and the lives of others. Jountti is NAU's first honoree.
"It's an honor and a blessing to receive this award," said Jountti. "I'm humbled and hopeful that my actions will make the world a better place."
Jountti, a running back from Bakersfield, Calif., has accumulated over 100 hours of community service while attending NAU. He is president of Uplifting Athletes, vice president of NAU's Hip-Hop Club, and is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and Gold'N Brown Jacks.
Jountti has traveled not only across the United States for his volunteerism efforts, but he has made trips to Australia and New Zealand in 2014, and most recently South Africa in 2015.
"Allstate has taken great pride in working with the AFCA to recognize student-athletes who go above and beyond to make time for community service, whether they're helping out at a local soup kitchen or going abroad on a mission trip," said Thomas Clarkson, president of the west territory for Allstate Insurance Company and a member of the 2016 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® voting panel. "These young men deserve to be commended for all that they do, and their character and commitment to service is an inspiration for all of us."
Jountti has spent time providing a helping hand to Toys for Tots, Prime Time Youth Football, Eagles Pop Warner, Welcome Back Jacks, RA Night, MLK Jr. Day of Service, Spring Game Clinic, Blood Drive, Student-Athlete for a Day, and many more.
This year, in recognition of the 25th anniversary, Allstate and the AFCA added three additional spots to the team, including an honorary head coach, bringing the final roster to 25 members. Amidst the rivalry, competitiveness and excitement of college football, the contributions made off the field by players and coaches can often times be overlooked. The players named to the Good Works Team® represent the sport's finest in terms of character and leadership, in addition to maintaining good academic standing. To help announce the landmark year of the Good Works Team®, Allstate and the AFCA have also teamed up with two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner and 2009 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® member Tim Tebow.
Now that the team is announced, fans are encouraged to visit ESPN.com/Allstate to vote for the 2016 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® Captain through November 23, 2016. The Team Captain will be honored at the Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN. The 2016 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® will be invited to New Orleans to participate in a community project before the 2017 Allstate® Sugar Bowl®, where the team will be recognized at halftime.
The 2016 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® was selected from a group of nominees who were submitted by sports information directors across the country. A voting panel of former Good Works Team® members and prominent college football media members narrowed the impressive list of 165 players and 10 coaches down to the 25 members of the 2016 team.

March 04 2015
When we were growing up watching hours and hours of Video Hits and MTV, it became the norm to see big time actors and pop stars feature in corny TV ads. Fast-forward a few years when EDM is dominating the charts and all of a sudden the worlds biggest DJs are featuring in an array of ads promoting the likes of hair gel, jet skis and even underwear. Sit back and watch a bunch of DJs embarrass themselves as they hit the small screen.
10. Avicii – Ralph Lauren
A wise man once said "If I really like a track, I know that my fans are going to like it aswell".
9. Diplo – Blackberry
Diplo playing it cool as per usual in this one.
8. Tiesto – Acer Aspire
Private helicopters, personal assistants, pool parties, this ad really makes Tiesto look like a God. The ad features Tiesto's personal assistant who dreams on becoming a superstar DJ. When the unthinkable happens, Tiesto urgently calls his assistant to "Drop the beat".
7. LMFAO - Budweiser NBA Commercial
Before Redfoo did the Juicy Wiggle, he got payed a ton of money to sing something stupid on tv….and that wasn't the first time. While he is hardly considered a dance music artists, we threw this one in because it's so damn hilarious (and features cameos from actor Luke Wilson and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban)
6. Armin Van Buuren – Mentos
Something doesn't quite add up in this one. Maybe it's the private jet, awkward fist pumping, the countless outfit changes, or maybe its Armin Van Buuren slamming down a Mentos right before a massive drop. We cant help to wonder why the biggest mint brand in the world would use the face of trance in their ad campaign…we will leave that one with you.
5. Deadmau5 – Sea Doo
Even the biggest self proclaimed producers have their price. Often criticizing other DJs for 'selling out', Deadmau5 can be found shredding waves across this Miami bay in a customised Sea Doo. There is something really cool about rolling into Miami with a custom wrapped Sea-Doo attached to your Ferrari though.
4. Steve Aoki – Bud Light Platinum
More recently, Steve Aoki hits the small screen for a Bud Light ad featuring a bunch of Dim Mak label mates like Deorro, Autoerotique and Australia's very own Uberjak'd. We can't help but to feel like a proud parent when seeing Uberjak'd in the ad.
3. Calvin Harris
More of an ad campaign rather than a commercial but who would of thought that in 2015, a DJ would be the underwear poster boy for Emporio Armani. I'm sure the 2005 Calvin Harris would be just as shocked as we are.
2. Daft Punk Gap Commercial
As stated by one of the Youtube comments this ad is definitely one of those "It's so bad, it's amazing" commercials. Before the stylish St Laurent Hedi designed sequin suits that we know of today, Daft Punk can be seen rocking double denim and dancing to their timeless hit 'Digital Love' with Julliette Lewis. Yep, nothing says it's 2001 like double denim and flared jeans.
1. David Guetta's Hair Gel Commercial
Warning: This is not a parody. Nothing beats David Guetta's Party-Proof (or as said by Guetta as Party Poohf) commercial for L'Oreal. Before Guetta's trademark long hair, he razzled crowds with a slicked up Mohawk/Peacock styled hair-do. Definitely one to leave off the showreel.

"I love it, it came in so fast I am really excited that it came in. I will definitely do more beautiful card invitation. Thank you"
"I reviewed a number of websites for graduation announcements for my son, but Tinyprints had by far the best selection and reviews. I narrowed my choices down to 8, then 3, before finally selecting the Chalk Yearbook design (with concurrence from my son). The process for ordering was simple and personalizing was a snap. Received my order before expected and was so pleased with the quality and design. The paper/card stock is nice and heavy - loved the background, too. I ordered liners for my envelopes, which I had to affix, but as promised, this was an extremely easy process."
"Loved the design for my graduating son. I wished more color options would have been available. Not sure if the pearl paper would have helped the overall finish or hindered the chalk affect. Overall we were very pleased with the whole package for my son's personality. A great way to go instead of traditional graduation announcements!"

Vijayawada, Nov 1 (UNI) Senior Telegu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Politburo member Yanamala Ramakrishnudu today said the Andhra Pradesh Government was creating problems to disturb 'Yuva Garjana' to be held at Guntur on November 5.
Addressing the press here, he alleged that the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) was refusing to provide buses for the event.
Accusing the APSRTC for demanding Rs 10,000 for each bus, he said the APSRTC had supplied buses across the state for the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's public meeting, which was held at Nellore earlier on the directions from the State Government.
Mr Ramakrishnudu alleged that the State Government was also creating problems to the party by influencing the railway officials over the stopage of trains at the Nagarjunanagar station.
Although the party was confident to mobilise huge crowds in 'Yuva Garjana', he added.

Chandigarh, Jun 21 (UNI) A lady doctor in Narnaul town of Mahendergarh district of Haryana was today arrested in connection with a case of female foeticide.
An official spokesman said a team of Health Department detected a case of female foeticide during a raid at the Janseva Hospital in Narnaul and registered cases against Dr Reshma Yadav, Sunita whose female foetus had been aborted and her husband Sunil under PNDT Act on Wednesday.
The doctor and Sunil were arrested and had been sent to judicial custody by a local court. However, Sunita was still in the hospital undergoing treatment after the abortion.
On getting information that a family had come to hospital for the abortion of the child, a team was constituted under the leadership of District Family Welfare and PNDT Member Secretary, which raided the hospital, the spokesman said.
The medicines and the instruments used in the abortion had been sealed and handed over to police, he added.

Just hours before two Fort Worth police officers were shot while responding to a suicide call Friday, a sergeant with the Dallas Police Department slapped Black Lives Matter and others backing it with a humongous lawsuit for inciting a race war against police officers across the nation.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court by Sergeant Demetrick Pennie, who has been with the Dallas Police Department for 17 years. He is seeking between $500 million and $1.5 billion in damages, "on behalf of police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities, including but not limited to Jews, Christians and Caucasians."
The class-action lawsuit was filed against Black Lives Matter, President Obama, billionaire activist and donor George Soros, Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network, the Nation of Islam and its leader Louis Farrakhan, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Also listed in the suit are Malik Zulu Shabazz and the New Black Panthers, and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
According to Breitbart:
The 66-page federal complaint alleges that each defendant individual and organization "repeatedly incited their supporters and others to engage in threats and attacks" against police officers around the nation, culminating in the July killings of five Dallas area officers with nine others wounded at a Black Lives Matter gathering.
The complaint singles out George Soros as "the financier of the BLM Defendants and similar organizations with the goal of inciting a race war" and advocating violence against whites and Jews. Defendants Obama and Clinton are blamed for repeatedly endorsing behaviors carried out and surrounding Black Lives Matter.
Pennie is the president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, and is being represented by Larry Klayman, original founder of Judicial Watch, as well as founder of his current organization, FreedomWatch.
Sergeant Pennie said, "This action was brought to stop the violence and killings of law enforcement officers in Dallas and throughout the nation.
In a released statement, Klayman said, "Sergeant Pennie and I feel duty-bound to put ourselves forward to seek an end to the incitement of violence against law enforcement which has already resulted in the death of five police officers in Dallas and the wounding of seven more, just in Texas alone."

College Placement
The College Counseling team at Holy Child provides an individualized approach to college counseling which results in matriculation to universities ranging from small liberal arts colleges to large universities, from premier art schools and music conservatories to technical institutes and some of the most selective institutions in the nation and abroad.
Holy Child's individualized approach to college counseling involves three major components:
We know our students
Beginning in freshman year, the Director of College Counseling hosts informative seminars with parents. The office works closely with Upper School administrators and faculty to get to know each of our students. During the spring of junior year, students begin a college counseling class, taught by the Director of College Counseling, which continues through the students' senior year. This gives the Director of College Counseling the opportunity to get to know students on a more personal level. Each student and her parents continue to meet with the college counseling office throughout the college application process, as needed.
We know colleges
In addition to working with students, our experienced College Counseling team has relationships with many college admission officers and works to familiarize them with Holy Child's rigorous and unique curriculum. Additionally, we invite leaders in college admissions to campus in order to provide students and their parents with the most updated information about the college application process and beyond.
Colleges know Holy Child
Each year, over 100 college admission representatives visit Holy Child's campus to meet with students. The College Counseling team develops relationships with college representatives to ensure they best understand Holy Child's academic rigor and extracurricular offerings.

Corruption in Colombia

|Corruption by country

Corruption in Colombia is a pervasive problem at all levels of government.
Colombia currently ranks 83rd of 168 in the Corruption Perceptions Index of 2015, tied with Benin, China, Liberia, and Sri Lanka.[1]
Different factors have contributed to political corruption in Colombia including drug trafficking, guerrilla and paramilitary conflict, weak surveillance and regulation from institutions, threats and harassment to whistle-blowers and a widespread apathy from society to address unethical behavior.
Impact of corruption[edit]
Between 1989 and 1999, corruption in Colombia is estimated to have cost the state 1% of its GDP annually.[2] In addition to the economic cost of corruption, other aspects of Colombian society have been affected such as the loss of credibility in politicians and the Colombian government, as well as the discouragement and demoralization of society at large to participate in anything related to politics.
A 2005 study published by Transparency for Colombia (Transparencia por Colombia) assessed the index of integrity of governments, assemblies and comptrollers at the departmental level and concluded that none of those dependencies scored an appropriate level of integrity.[3] 51% were prone to high or very high levels of corruption.[3]
Colombia's modern corruption takes place mostly at the level of business between politicians and officials with private contractors and companies. The lack of ethical behavior on both sides, private individuals or organizations and politicians have resulted in a culture known in Colombia as "serrucho" (saw), in which it is almost the norm for individuals to bribe politicians in order to be granted contracts and where politicians add commissions and extra costs for their own benefit. Other sources of corruption come from the result of privatization of government owned institutions in which the profits are used by individuals for their own wealth.[4]
According to Transparency for Colombia, the country ranks 70 in the Perception of Corruption index. However the problem of corruption is a high priority to only 2.9% of the people interviewed versus violence which is a high priority to 31.49% and unemployment which is a high priority to 20.7%.[5]
According to a study by the Universidad Externado de Colombia, corruption is one of the main factors that render doing business difficult in Colombia. 91% of entrepreneurs consider that some business owners that pay bribes. 16.92% say that a businessperson will offer a bribe and out of the 28.4% of entrepreneurs who were asked for money or favors by a government official, only 8.52% reported it to the authorities in an effective way.[5][6]
Current levels of corruption have increased steadily since 2009 and continue getting worse as the Attorney General and the comptroller discover corruption at almost every level of government from local to national. In September 2009 48.000 government officials including 800 mayors and 30 governors were being investigated for corruption. The issue of corruption has not been isolated to one political party with accusations[from whom?] of corruption across the political spectrum from right-wing conservatives in the Party of National Unity, to the left-wing Democratic Pole.[citation needed]
The discouragement of the society with addressing the many cases of corruption in Colombia also stems from the well known immunity. Only a small percentage of officials investigated for corruption are likely to suffer legal consequences. In addition it is difficult for the judicial system to handle many investigations at lower levels. At the top, politicians avoid prosecution by political maneuvers and loopholes, sometimes under the protection of their own political party. An example of this is the attempt of the Party of National Unity to pass a bill that would protect its politicians involved in the parapolitics scandal.[7]
Colombia's corruption is also the result of a long coexistence between the drug trafficking and a rush of society to achieve easy wealth, thus rendering every aspect of society vulnerable to corruption, from politics, to agriculture and sports.
The concept of bribery is embedded in Colombia's society and the culture of "bite" (mordida) or "saw" (serrucho) are part of a subculture with its own language and expressions that are so widespread to almost make it the norm.
Corruption within institutions[edit]
Many institutions in Colombia have been the subject of administrative corruption. Large institutions that span across industries are example of major cases of corruption including: Ferrovias (national railroad administration), Caprecom (health care), Foncolpuertos (ports authority), Termorrio (energy), Dragacol (civil engineering), Chivor reservoir (water supply) and contracts with foreign companies such as Mexican ICA for the pavement of streets in Bogota are just a few.
A study by the UN found that globally the cost of corruption by official employees is ten times the cost of illegal acts such as common felony. In Colombia the problem is so big and widespread that "nobody knows what to do about it". Recent studies of criminal behavior in the country indicate that while the rate of crime grew annually in about 39.7%, the criminal behavior by officials at the government local and national grew 164.1% and despite this increase there are few convictions. The levels of administrative corruption are so high that as of 2011 the media reports of such felonies overshadow the stories on terrorism or armed conflict.[8]
Politic scandals[edit]
Colombian corruption scandals are often related to the conflict that has affected Colombia for 50 years.
- The Proceso 8000, the legal investigation to the events that happened in the middle-1990s, when the president of Colombia, Ernesto Samper, was accused of receiving money from drug lords for his electoral campaign.[9]
- The Colombian parapolitics scandal, which debuted in 2006, revealed links between politicians and paramilitaries. Supporters of Álvaro Uribe's government are involved in this scandal.
- The Yidispolitics Scandal, caused by declarations of the Colombian ex-representative, Yidis Medina, in which she claims that Colombian government offered her important jobs and money if she voted for the approval of Uribe's reelection.[10][11]
- The 2006 DAS scandal, in which the now-defunct Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (Administrative Department of Security) illegally wiretapped the telephones and other communication lines of Supreme Court magistrates, judges, senators, journalists and other prominent figures perceived as opposition to the Álvaro Uribe administration.
- The 2011 DIAN (Office of taxation and customs) scandal in which the administrative staff plotted ways to steal millions of dollars from the Colombian taxpayers through a complex system of fake companies and legal loopholes.[12]
- In 2011 a number of mayors in different departments misused money that was supposed to help Colombians that were affected by floods. Instead of using this money for the victims this officials used the funds for political campaigns and personal matters.[13]
- In September 2011 former mayor of Bogota Samuel Moreno was convicted for irregularities in contracts with private businesses, under a scandal named "contract carousel" by the media.[14]
- In February 2014 a massive corruption network within the Colombian army was exposed. High-ranking military officers siphoned money and took bribes in order to grant contracts. Some of this senior officers took bribes up to 50% of the cost of the contracts they awarded. Other elements of the military were taking money that was intended to be used for military supplies [15]

FIRE stations in Belait District recorded five cases of roof damage and six of fallen trees caused by strong winds around the area of Lumut in the wee hours of yesterday.
There was also a case of traffic obstructed of a fallen tree in Seria and a report of a collapsed garage in Kuala Belait.
Victim Haji Yahya Tahir, 70, from Lumut, said, "It happened at around 2.30am. As I was going to use the toilet, I was startled by a loud banging noise."
"Then in the morning, we found one of the rooms' roof damaged.
"We immediately called the Fire and Rescue Department and they discovered debris had landed on my neighbour's roof, who is the Head of Kg Lumut II."
Another victim Awang Zaini bin Ali Amat, who lives with his wife, said he also heard a loud noise.
"It was coming from the kitchen. When I rushed there, I saw the kitchen roof had been blown off and the whole place was already flooded.
"I ended up cleaning it until late this morning. It was difficult to clean without lights as there was also a power outage that affected the area due to the storm."
Aside from the houses, BLNG also reported cases of fallen trees.
The affected areas were primarily the Zone A and Zone C of the company's parking lot.
Meanwhile, Awang Mohamad Rosidi, also a Lumut resident, had his vehicle damaged.
The car's rear window was broken by roof debris.
"The roof belongs to a neighbour from behind my house," he added.
As a temporary solution, Fire and Rescue Department personnel installed canvases.

Do you turn to your smartphone whenever you feel bored? It's tempting, isn't it? If you're trying to limit your own screen time, here are some other things to do when you find your mind wandering and get that itchy feeling of being bored (provided you're not at work).What Kind of Bored Are You?
I have been known to confuse situational boredom with existential boredom. You can banish situational boredom in a few hours. Existential boredom might require a life change of some significance. If you find yourself bored every single day, I recommend a life coach. This guide is for situational boredom, as in it's-Saturday-afternoon-at-three-and-I-don't-want-to-spend-money-but-I'm-bored boredom.
Credit Image: AZ Adam on Flickr10 Boredom Bashers in No Particular Order
I know, I know, you're way too busy to ever be bored. But you can be busy bored, right? Bored even when you're making dinner or driving around town doing errands? Some of these tips require not doing anything else at the same time, but some are mind-fillers you can do anywhere.
Take someone else's dog for a walk. Not yours -- that is probably boring. However, animals are unpredictable and fun, and by the time you return your neighbor's beagle, you'll probably have thought about what you'd like to do next. And you got exercise! So many good things.
Find a nice, fat catalog. A paper one. It can be Restoration Hardware or Ikea or whatever, though the old department store ones are totally the best. Give yourself an unlimited budget (limits are boring) and pretend you can have anything you want to redecorate your pad. Design down to the shower curtain. For extra bonus points -- do the math and figure out how expensive your taste really is.
Are you a gardener? A fashionista? A book lover? Find a collection of physical things in your house that you love and go admire them. Remember when you got them, why you got them. Reorganize them. Clean them. Fawn over them. Enjoy them!
Imagine you've just been told that you need to spend the next five hours waiting at a doctor's office with no food, television or reading materials. And now you realize you are not there! What popped into your mind that you really wanted/needed to do while you were imagining being trapped? Go do that thing.
Go to the library. Find the periodicals. Stare at all the shiny magazines. Which one catches your eye? Which looks the most interesting intellectually? Which has the best eye candy? Grab a handful and read three articles. See if you're inspired to go do something when you're done.
Plan your ultimate birthday party for yourself -- no constraints. Who would you invite? Where would it be? Which gifts would you receive? What would be on the menu?
Take school pictures of your cat. Find a variety of different backgrounds, try some different poses. Print out wallet sizes in case anyone wants one.
- Make a playlist for Ryan Seacrest to listen to right before the New Year's Eve show. The fate of his mood is in your hands.
- Figure out one item you wish you still had from your bedroom when you were 15.
- Take a nap. If you're still bored after all these suggestions, you must be exhausted.
Do you ever get bored? Where? Why? Any more suggestions?

Playlist: Neil Young, Crazy Horse, 'Oh Susanna'
Pick of the Week Oh Susanna kicks off the first album from Neil Young and Crazy Horse in nearly nine years.
Stephen Foster's 19th-century minstrel tune undergoes a turbulent revival on this gleefully irreverent and shambolic garage rocker from Americana. The clamorous collection of American folk songs arrives June 5.
10 intriguing tracks found during the week's listening.
You Ain't Alone, Alabama Shakes
"Are you scared of me?" Brittany Howard asks on a soulful tour-de-force from this swamp-rocking foursome's powerful debut, Boys & Girls.
Watch the Show, M. Ward
A frisky, driving rockabilly yarn from solo disc A Wasteland Companion by the him of She & Him.
Sixteen Saltines, Jack White
A rock-metal bazooka of guitar chaos, Hammond-organ swirls and pounding beats, from solo debut Blunderbuss.
Standing in the Doorway, Bonnie Raitt
The singer/guitarist turns in a sterling, heart-rending interpretation of Bob Dylan's tune, from the excellent Slipstream.
That's Why God Made the Radio, The Beach Boys
Creamy harmonies over gorgeous, semi-cheesy surf-pop from the upcoming reunion album, though it sounds like a mid-'60s outtake.
You Don't KnowNothing… Ryan Shaw
The Georgia singer brings a soulful fire and earthiness to a 1967 Carl Hall record, from Real Love, out May 15.
Heaven, The Walkmen
The usually raucous New York indie-rockers switch gears on this sunny and simple sing-along.
Krokodil, St. Vincent
Annie Clark's snarling distorted voice clashes with metallic guitars and insistent beats on a barbed single out for Record Store Day.
I Got This, Big K.R.I.T.
K.R.I.T.'s symphonic Southern hip-hop, funky beats and deft drawl compensate for humdrum verses.
Teenage Sounds, Neon Trees
The Utah synth-rock band dips into new wave on a fresh and rousing track from the new Picture Show.

Raspberry Cane Borer
The beetles appear in raspberry plantings in June, and the females deposit their eggs singly in the pith of the tender new growth, about 6 inches below the tip of the cane. The beetle makes two characteristic rows of punctures that encircle the cane about 3/4 to 1 inch apart; between these, but nearer the lower row, an egg is inserted. The girdling of the cane causes the tip to wilt. When the eggs hatch, the larvae tunnel toward the base of the cane. By one account (MacNab and Tetrault), the larvae reach the base of the cane by fall. By another account (Mills and Dewey) the larvae spend the first winter within an inch or two of the row of punctures and then complete their journey to the base of the cane the next growing season. In any case, the cane is weakened and usually is killed before the fruit matures.
Remove wilted tips several inches below punctures by midsummer. Remove and destroy older canes whenever they are observed. Destroy any nearby wild brambles.

Post Oceania's acquisition by Norwegian, quality is slipping
Sail Date: March 20, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Cabin: 8041
Good itinerary and friendly, very hard working cabin/dining staff offset by: Deteriorating dining service quality (frequent Oceania cruisers blame this on reduced staffing levels as Norwegian cuts costs); and a CHRONIC problem with noro-virus (3rd serious outbreak in 4 months; only cruise ship in CDC's data base showing more than one occurrence of this sickness during past 15 months). As a result of noro-virus, ship denied entry into Aruba and intense, needed focus on cleanliness throughout the ship negatively affected the ambiance of the entire cruise.

An old baseball axiom is that in April, pitchers are generally ahead of the hitters. That wasn't the case last night in St. Petersburg as the Tampa Bay Rays clubbed the New York Yankees 15-5. It was such a blowout that the Yanks had 1B/OF Nick Swisher pitch the eighth inning. (Photo by Steve Nesius, AP)
On this occasion, the hitter-turned-pitcher was ahead of the Rays hitters as Swisher tossed a scoreless inning. You could even say it was ironic that Swisher was the only Yankee pitcher in the game who didn't allow a run.
Swisher's pitching won't count in just about every fantasy league, but my dynasty league does give credit for pitchers' hitting stats. And it's only fair that in the league, Swisher will, in fact, get an extra point for a scoreless inning.
It's only been one week, but which player has done the most for his fantasy team so far this season? It's not even close -- Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria. He has five homers and 10 RBI already and is No. 1 on Fanball.com's player rater.
Gut instinct will probably tell you some of the biggest surprises so far, but their top 50 list includes:
2) Alfonso Soriano, 3) Emilio Bonifacio, 4) Brandon Inge, 5) Adam Lind, 9) Kyle Lohse and 13) Swisher -- pitching stats not included.
The rankings were based on a 12-team 5x5 mixed league.
Meanwhile on SI.com, Greg Ambrosius wonders if Bonifacio could have the same impact on fantasy leagues that the Indians' Cliff Lee did last season. I happen to think that's a real stretch and will have more to say on that subject later this week.
