Alianzo glossary
Useful definitions to understand the concepts we use. Alianzo counts with three measuring systems.:
1- Alianzo Score
Alianzo Score is a value between 0 and 100 which is the result of the measurement parameters used by Alianzo in each of the profiles. These parameters try to measure the engagement and the activity of each social network.
Alianzo score is calculated for each type of social media and for each type of profile.
In addition, the Global Alianzo Score is calculated and displayed in the Alianzo Rank section. This score is calculated by adding the score given to each of the social networks weighted by the importance attached by Alianzo to each social network.View more
2- Alianzo Stars
Alianzo Stars is the assessment done from Alianzo for every profile. It takes into account its score on Alianzo Score 2.0. It is calculated as follows:
- Five yellow stars grade the highest score possible, which is 100. This profile will be the number one of its ranking.
- Five green stars grade the profiles that score between 80 and 99.
- Four green stars grade those profiles that score between 60 and 79.
- Three green stars grade those profiles that score between 40 and 59.
- Two green stars encompass those profiles that score between 20 and 39.
- One green star is used for those profiles with a score between 0 and 19.
3- Alianzo Rank
In Alianzo, rankings are conformed by profiles sorted according to their score in Alianzo 2.0, sorted from highest to lowest. These profiles are calculated for social network and kind of profile.View more

Replacing a view in an in-place activated server
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
First of all lets understand how the framework creates OLE frames. When a server object is inserted in a container, a document, a frame window and a view contained within it (or multiple views, if it is a splitter) are first constructed, following common document-template procedures. After that, in response to the OLEIVERB_SHOW OLE verb the COleServerDoc::ActivateInPlace function is called. If there is no previous OLE frame (i.e. it is the first time it will be activated) the OLE frame is created, calling the COleServerDoc::CreateInPlaceFrame function. Here not only the OLE frame is created (using the CDocTemplate::CreateOleFrame function), but also the view in the previously constructed frame window is "connected" to the newly created OLE frame. If the original frame was a splitter, then the view in the first pane is used. The "connection" process consists on changing the view's parent window to the new frame. It is performed calling the COleServerDoc::ConnectView function. The active view on the original frame window is kept (using the m_pActiveView member), because some controls continue to send notification messages to their original parent window. These notification messages should be handled in the original frame window. Once the OLE frame is created and a view is "connected" to it then it is activated.
Now, if we want to replace a view in an OLE frame, we have to replace it in 2 frame windows: the OLE frame and the original frame. The current active view should be destroyed, a new view should be created within the original frame and be later connected to the OLE frame. The active views should be set to NULL first, so no windows message could be sent by the framework to a non-valid view stored in the m_pActiveView member of the frame windows.
BOOL CMyDoc::InPlaceSwitchToView(CRuntimeClass *pNewViewClass) { // The original parent window is saved in m_pOrigParent. CFrameWnd* pFrame = (CFrameWnd *)m_pOrigParent; // Get the active view. CView* pOldActiveView = m_pInPlaceFrame->GetActiveView(); // If we're already displaying this kind of view, no need to go further. if (pOldActiveView->IsKindOf(pNewViewClass)) return TRUE; // No currently active views in either frame pFrame->SetActiveView(NULL); m_pInPlaceFrame->SetActiveView(NULL); // Set flag so that document will not be deleted when view is destroyed. BOOL bAutoDelete = m_bAutoDelete; m_bAutoDelete = FALSE; // Delete existing view pOldActiveView->DestroyWindow(); // restore flag m_bAutoDelete = bAutoDelete; // Create new view. CView* pNewView = (CView *)pNewViewClass->CreateObject(); if (pNewView == NULL) { TRACE1("Warning: Dynamic create of view type %Fs failed\n", pNewViewClass->m_lpszClassName); return FALSE; } // Draw new view. CCreateContext context; context.m_pNewViewClass = pNewViewClass; context.m_pCurrentDoc = this; context.m_pNewDocTemplate = NULL; context.m_pLastView = NULL; context.m_pCurrentFrame = pFrame; if (!pNewView->Create(NULL, NULL, AFX_WS_DEFAULT_VIEW, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), pFrame, AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST, &context)) { TRACE0("Warning: couldn't create view for frame\n"); delete pNewView; return FALSE; } // Keep the view active in the original frame pFrame->SetActiveView(pNewView); // Connect the view to the OLE frame ConnectView(m_pInPlaceFrame, pNewView); pNewView->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, 0, SWP_DRAWFRAME); pNewView->SendMessage(WM_INITIALUPDATE, 0, 0); // WM_INITIALUPDATE is defined in afxpriv.h pNewView->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; }
Now that we have a method in our document class that will replace the current view in an OLE frame, lets use it. The new view type should be decided (in response to a menu selection, for instance), and the function must be called as follows:
CRuntimeClass* pNewViewClass = RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyView); if (!InPlaceSwitchToView(pNewViewClass)) // failed else // succeeded

The Bills weren't optimistic about running back Fred Jackson's status, and there's a reason why.
According to Tim Graham of the Buffalo News, Jackson's knee injury isn't as serious as once feared, but serious enough he will be going on injured reserve.
Jackson's agent tweeted that Jackson had a Grade 2 sprain of his right knee, and that it was a four-week injury. With three games left, that ends a second straight season with Jackson on IR.
"He's not going to make it," coach Chan Gailey said.
(Note to self, never ask Chan Gailey for a medical opinion on a loved one.)
"He's going to be out for the rest of the year," Gailey continued.
Jackson finished the year with 437 rushing yards and three touchdowns, along with 217 receiving yards and another score.

I feel that there should be a topic for this, and I'm sure CDC wont mind me starting one. This has been the most terrible tradegy I have seen in my life and in history books.
I dont see how any pilot, or even terrorist can drive himself to kill themselves like they did. it's absolute maddness. I feel this may be the start of what will be a short WWIII. although if this is a terrorist attack and not an attack from a country then it would e hard to have a war with a band of terrorists... I still cant seem to belive that the 2 tallest buildings in the world have collapsed. I bet it was the ppl from the CN tower in Toronto just wanting to be the tallest building ^_^ j/k. I really dont know what to think of all this. my heart goes out to all the deceased, families and to the deceased firemen and thier families. I also thank all the ppl helping in the cause to find the burried and giving blood. I myself plan to give blood.
Please send out your feelings and comments about this atrosity here.

AndrewTilston necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 93 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
NTS Apollo
NTS Industrial Software Solutions GmbH, our German parent company, is celebrating 20 years of success in the ERP software business this year. We are launching a new division of NTS in North America which will bring our Apollo ERP software to industrial manufacturing groups in Canada and the United States. We are now exploring the deployment of our North American marketing materials, along with a review of existing branding guidelines. The existing logo has served us well however we've internally agreed that an injection of fresh creative from the 99designs.com community of designers could be a very welcome update. We are also bringing the names NTS and Apollo together to create NTS Apollo Software Solutions. The two elements do not need to look the same but they NEED to work well together.
For more information on our specific industry, which is Enterprise Resource Planning software, please take a look at Wikipedia's page on the subject… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterp…e_planning
Our target clientele produce a wide range of goods requiring above average levels of sophistication from their ERP systems due to the critical nature of their manufacturing processes. With products ranging from aerospace applications with around 100,000 individual components to food and drug manufacturers needing to track very tight tolerances across ingredients that are government regulated and often have expiry relates concerns as well, our customers demand the tightest of controls coupled with the most streamlined workflow processes available.
Within the right client offices, our products can stand up to the competition due to 20 years of continued evolution and refinement. What is important to ensure here is that our brand carries the same presence visually on paper and on the web. To give you a baseline for comparison; the largest 5 brands in the ERP space are SAP, Oracle, Sage, Netsuite, Microsoft Dynamics.
1. We are a technology company, and we provide mission critical software to industrial businesses. We have the history. We have the products. We need to have the visual branding to go along with this reality!
2. We need a logo that is an obvious evolution of the existing logo. (Attached)
3. Please dump the black text from the top reading "New Technology Software". We are distancing ourselves from this phrase.
4. Please work with the Apollo name as well. It should be presentable with the NTS part of the logo, or without. We have been toying with the idea of showing it with the ERP designation as well but below is a good example of the range we need to se, with stars (*) next to the three most important combinations…
a. NTS*
b. NTS Apollo*
c. NTS Apollo ERP
d. Apollo ERP
e. Apollo*
5. Colors do not need to follow in line with the blue and red that was used in the past although we will honestly probably be leaning towards that color scheme due to 20 years of familiarity. Surprising us with something that looks better is certainly welcome!
*Please adhere to standardized color systems, preferably Pantones. Please include the Pantone numbers you have selected.
6. Final artwork will need to be supplied in an Adobe Illustrator file. Our designers have Adobe tools that are up to date (CS5).
Something that I am suddenly realizing is that the full extent of the branding will cover the following range of use (in a visual/hierarchical sense)...
1. NTS (company name and used here and there as the parent brand)
2. NTS Apollo (official assembly of the logo)
3. Apollo (is the core product name)
4. Apollo XXX (modules of the product... like Apollo CRM, Apollo Production, Apollo Materials Management, Apollo EDI, Apollo Business Intelligence. Apollo Mobile... okay I'll stop... the list is long but it gives you an idea of what we'll need to tack on to the name so it probably makes sense to add that to the design exploration/submissions.
(I shared this with one of the designers that have submitted already so I thought I should share it with everyone else too!)

Make that 10 higher S&P 500 closes over the last 13 semiannual Federal Reserve testimonies before Congress.
The Bernanke bump for stocks was larger than usual this time around. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 Index rose 1.89% to close at 1,515.99 over the past two days, as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered his semiannual testimony before Congress. Over the past 12 appearances, the S&P 500 has finished higher nine times after the two days of testimony for an average 0.5% gain.
Bernanke\'s biggest message in both his Senate and House testimony was that benefits to the economy from the Fed\'s $85 billion a month in asset purchases far outweighed the cost.
To be fair, markets could have been primed for a comeback leading up to the testimony. The day before Bernanke\'s testimony stocks took a bath as markets were thrown for a loop on unexpected Italian election results. The S&P 500 dropped 1.8% on Monday alone as parties led by former comedian Beppe Grillo and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi gained enough votes to effectively paralyze the Italian Parliament from following through on reforms enacted by outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti.
In addition to Bernanke\'s testimony, economic data appeared favorable. On Wednesday, durable goods orders rose 1.9%, when excluding aircraft, while on Tuesday, February consumer confidence rose and new home sales rose to a 4-1/2 year high.

James Cameron had his hands in this project. Pretty neat!
Views: 461
How long did it take to go under water? The survivors would see as long as there were lights?
From what I can find, it took a little over 2 hours from the time the ship struck the iceberg to the time the last half of the ship started its rapid decline to the bottom of the icy sea. I can't begin to imagine what that must have been like for those passengers.
That is what I was trying to imagine. From the first jolt, to the tipping of the boat ... as I watched I tried to imagine the feelings of those desperate people. Were the staff properly trained to give as much assistance as possible? I haven't seen the movie or read the accounts, it all seems so awful, yet seeing the boat break apart and sink gave me an urge to understand their experience. Thank you for finding that information for me.
There is so much pain and suffering in the world, do you suppose we can find ways to participate to reduce hunger, homelessness, disease and that awful cruelty of warring? What would it take to stop warring?
I found this and thought you might enjoy watching it.
Impressive piece of work!
I thought so too! Takes a lot of knowledge of physics to be able to come up with a model that ended up looking pretty much like the original wreckage! I thought it was quite impressive.
That was cool! Thanks for posting that video.
I just watched an episode of Seconds From Disaster by National Geographic. Commander Brian Penoyer, an accident investigator of the U.S. Coast Guard, performed some interesting experiments trying to find out what made the Titanic sink. He's investigated over 400 accidents at sea. He found that a sampling of some of the rivets used on the Titanic were not made from steel, but from a mix of wrought iron and slag. The steel rivets used were put in by a machine. The area that didn't have steel rivets was inaccessible to the machine and had to have the rivets placed manually. The steel rivets were much more difficult to work with by hand, making them decide to use the iron/slag rivets instead. They've calculated that the amount of force exerted on the hull of the ship at the time of impact was about 14,000 psi. In their tests, their replica rivets failed at less than 10,000 psi.

Aethera 1.0.2 Now with Kolab Support
After months of hard work, the multi-platform email/PIM client Aethera now has integrated support for the Kolab groupware server. Aethera 1.0.2 comes with support for email, calendar and todo using KOrganizer as a plug-in, sticky notes, address book and now Kolab integration. There are optional commercial plug-in modules for an advanced and integrated Jabber client, Whiteboard client and Voice over IP application, all integrated in to the environment. Everything but the VoIP is available on both Linux and Windows. For full details on what else is new, see the change log. Aethera is fully GPL and available on Sourceforge for download. We'd be happy for contributors and comments.
Nothing to remember...
I think it was V1.0 when I tried it. What I know is, that Aethera have to much space wasted for graphics and it feels a lot buggy.
Is it better now?
It has no features for a private person to sync contacts, calendar entries and tasks with a phone, Palm or PocketPC.
So it looks like a buggy mail-only program with bloated graphics, a propietary calendar that is only compatible to himself and only can be read on a pc.
Ok, it has a Kolab plugin now. But I don't know how much private pc's sync with your brother's and sister's calendar entries on a Kolab-Server ;-)
Instead I'm very happy to have Kontact :-) Hopefully, synce-kde can soon sync with KAB and Korganizer again.
For my Sony T610, I can only use (for now) Evolution with multisync(.sourceforge.net)
Maybe a kSync (like iSync on OS-X) can soon sync everything in KDE?? This would be not only a very nice feature on a private PC ;-)
By Anonymous at Fri, 2004/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Nothing to remember...
The Kolab server as we all know came out of the Kroupware project. Aethera uses korganizer as calendar app, just like your Kontact. There is a KMail version with Kolab support, but the integration into the main branch almost stopped a fews month ago I think. Perhaps there could be at least two Kolab clients in the near future.
By mdo at Fri, 2004/01/23 - 6:00am
Re: Nothing to remember...
Since Aethera can use these standard formats I am sure the next release will have synchronization with PDA devices.
By Eug at Sat, 2004/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Nothing to remember...
> Why do you say it cannot synchronize calendar and tasks ?
Sorry if I'm wrong, I wrote only this one:
Do you mean, I can sync Aethera with a Phone, Palm and/or PocketPC? How can I do that? I only see a Kolab-Plugin now, but no Sync support for mobile devices!
What about graphics? Can I change the symbols/icons from big to small and vice versa?
By Anonymous at Sun, 2004/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: Nothing to remember...
Aethera doesn't synch its data directly to the phone etc.
You are able to hide(or close) the top banner or even your folder tree view (if you want to work only with one folder) and this can be a lot more space.

Good stuff..
Good to see Aethera finally in a usable state. Kolab support before Kontact has full support is nice too :)

Good job!
More than a year ago or so I looked at Aethera, and it was not good enough yet. Now it looks great, especially for the ones used to Outlook etc. I will definetely consider it for the next one I try to convert from windose to Linux/kde.
I think it is great to have more than one PIM solution for KDE. Even more when I see that they can work together so easily.
Good job!!!

Alternate download location
Something appears to be wrong with Sourceforge mirrors at the moment, so we've also put the files at www.smga3000.com/thekompany/Aethera/ make sure to read the 'demo-readme' file.

Kolab not working on any redhat machine
Kolab sounds great but it really needs to sort out its openpkg as I have tried and no workee

We are able to select the frequency we use with the RSELx bits in BCSCTL1 (select range 0 to 15) and the DCOx bits in DCOCTL (select step 0 to 7). How do we know which pair we want? The device-specific datasheet should give you some help in that regard. For the G2x11, we see the DCO frequency table on page 26. For any device, this table will either list the typical value for a sample of selections, or a set of min/max values for the selection set. (Note: As of this writing, the current revision of the G2x11 datasheet (SLAS695B) is printed incorrectly, giving typical values for some selections and min/max values for others. In future revisions of the document it will likely be changed to only one or the other.) TI uses an ordered pair notation to describe the DCO setting, such as (8,2) for Range 8, Step 2 (or DCO 2 to use their term). We'll use that notation from now on to describe DCO settings with the convention DCO(r, s) where r is the range value and s is the step value.
As an example, note that DCO(6,3) is typically 0.80 MHz (or 800 kHz), while DCO(13,3) is 7.8 MHz. Note that the table only lists DCO(r,3) pairs for each range, and also values for DCO(0,0) and DCO(15,7), the low and high end of the DCO values. What about all the others? At the bottom of the table, there are two values called SRSEL and SDCO. These values give the ratio of subsequent ranges and steps as SRSEL = (r+1,s)/(r,s) and SDCO = (r,s+1)/r(s), allowing you to get a value for any of the possible combinations. For example, DCO(6,4) would be SDCO * DCO(6,3), or in the case of the G2211, 1.08*0.80 Mhz = 0.864 MHz. DCO(6,7) would be SDCO * DCO(6,6) = SDCO * (SDCO * DCO(6,5)) and so on, so a general formula would be DCO(r,s+n) = SDCO^n * DCO(r,s). (Note that you can get the lower step values with negative n, eg. DCO(6,1) = DCO(6,3-2) = SDCO ^ (-2) * DCO(6,3).)
One final topic before getting to the code; each MSP430 device comes with at least one calibrated value for the DCO. These values are found for each individual chip at the fabrication facility and programed into the information memory section of the flash memory. The values are not necessarily the same for my G2211 as it is for yours, but if you ever accidentally (or intentionally) erase the calibration values, TI does provide a program that will recalibrate the DCO and write the values to the memory for later use. (You should be able to find this program in the code examples you can download for your device. The G2xx code can be obtained here, and the program is called msp430x20xx_dco_flashcal.c.) The G2x11 devices only have one calibrated frequency at 1 MHz.
Now for the practical part. Fire up CCS with your launchpad, and enter the debugging mode with any program you have. We're not going to actually run the program, just look at some of the registers as they come up by default. The MSP430 x2xx devices supposedly default to a 1.1 MHz DCO. What value actually comes up? In the debugger, open up a view of the registers, and find the BCS+ registers under System_Clock. For the G2211, the registers start with values of 0x60 for DCOCTL and 0x87 for BCSCTL1. Expand the registers to look at the individual bits, and we can see that RSEL is 0b0111, or 7, and DCO is 0b011, or 3. The default setting for the DCO is DCO(7,3), which according to the datasheet is between 0.80 MHz and 1.50 MHz. The actual value depends on your unit, the temperature, pressure, phase of the moon... ok, not really the moon phase, but you get the idea. If you happen to have an oscilloscope, we can actually look at the frequency by using the alternate function for P1.4-- the SMCLK can be driven by the DCO and put on this pin for external use.
Let's write up some code to actually change the DCO now. We're mostly interested in manipulating the DCOx and RSELx bits, which are bits 5-7 in DCOCTL and 0-3 in BCSCTL1 respectively. When we've selected the pair of values we want, we can change those bits in code. For example, if we want to change to DCO(12,2), we want 0b1100 for RSELx and 0b010 for DCOx. We can set these values in our code with the following:
BCSCTL1 &= ~(BIT0 + BIT1); // set bits 0 and 1 to 0
DCOCTL |= BIT6; // set bit 6 to 1
Does the order matter? Well, keep in mind the frequency will change with every step. So after the first line, assuming we have the default configuration found above, the bits have changed to 0b0100, putting us in DCO(4,3). The second line moves us to DCO(12,3). The third line moves us to DCO(12,2), making the last step redundant. If we had started by setting bits 2 and 3 in RSELx, we would have stepped from DCO(7,3) to DCO(15,3), putting a really high frequency on everything. That may not be an issue, but if you have any sensitive components you might consider stepping rather than jumping up to higher frequencies. If MCLK is driven by DCO (it is by default) you may find some problems as the higher frequencies may be above the 16 MHz limit for the processor. Going the other direction, jumping down puts the DCO at a really low frequency, which slows down the operation of the subsequent steps, but shouldn't cause any serious trouble.
Setting to calibrated values is much easier, since CCS provides us with shortcuts to those values:
Those two lines are all that's needed to set the DCO at exactly 1 MHz! (Within 3%, anyway.)
I've written some code in dcodemo_g2211.c that gives an example of how to use the DCO in a program. Browse through it and try running it on your launchpad to see how it works. The program simply flashes the LED with a delay loop and waits for the user to press the button. The program then changes the DCO frequency, and re-flashes the LED. Since the frequency increases, however, the LED flash is much faster, even though it uses the same delay loop! The DCO is controlling the operating speed of the processor, and so the for loop steps through much more quickly. Another button press slows down the DCO and re-flashes the LED, this time at a slow rate. Another button press returns the LaunchPad to the original state, and the program runs through again.
We haven't covered all the features of the DCO yet, and will discuss them as we progress further. Next we'll talk about the use of timers in the MSP430. As always, feel free to discuss and ask questions about what you've read here!
Reader Exercise: My G2211 unit that came with my LaunchPad uses DCO(6,5) for the calibrated 1 MHz frequency on the DCO, and sets the MODx bits to 0b00101 (which is also 5). What does yours use? Write a program that uses the calibrated value and use the debugger to find out what the register settings are for the 1 MHz calibration on your unit. Supposedly, these are set individually to the chip, so I'd be interested to hear if anyone actually has a different value than mine!

1 [Written A.D. 251. Although, in order of time, this treatise would be the third, I have placed it here because of its dignity, and because of its importance as a key to the entire writings of Cyprian; for this theory is everywhere the underlying principle of his conduct and of his correspondence. It illustrates the epistles of Ignatius as well as his own, and gives the sense in which the primitive Christians understood these words of the Creed, "the Holy Catholic Church." This treatise has been subjected to falsifying interpolations, long since exposed and detected, to make it less subversive of the countertheory of Rome as developed by the school doctors. Elucidation I.]
2 Describing in few words the ambition and dissimulation of Novatian in invading the episcopate of Rome, he argues at length, that neither on the one hand is the passage in Matthew xviii of any avail to compensate for their fewness as against the Church: "Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name," etc.; nor, on the other, could martyrdom be of any benefit to them outside the Church. Then he tells them that they need not marvel that heresies nourished, since they had been foretold by Christ; nor that certain Roman confessors acquiesced in the schism, because before one's death no one is blessed, and the traitor Judas was found in the very compnny of the apostles. Yet he charges them to shun the association of schismatics and heretics, and finally exhorts them by the Scriptures to peace and unanimity.

9 [Here note that our author's entire ignorance of any Centre of Unity, of any one See as the test of communion; in short, of any one bishop as having more of Peter's authority than others,- is a sufficient disproof of the existence of any such things. Otherwise, how could they have been overlooked in a treatise devoted to the subject of unity, its nature and its criteria? The effort to foist into the text something of the kind, by corruption, demonstrates how entirely unsatesfactory to the Middle-Age theorists and dogmatists is the unadulterated work, which they could not let alone.]

This passage, as well as the one a few lines before, is beyond all question spurious.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Polls have Israel's left-wing Labor Party winning as many as 25 seats in the next Knesset, and if that happens 30 percent of the party's representation will be women.
Labor held its pre-election primaries last week. The vote saw many fresh faces join the top 20 slots, four of which were reserved for female candidates. In addition to those four, female candidates Shelley Yachimovich and Nino Absadzeh also captured the party leadership (previously) and the position reserved for immigrants, respectively.
Labor is not unfamiliar with female leadership. The party was famously led by Golda Meir in the 1960s and 1970s.
Among those making Labor's top 20 was Stav Shapir, who at only 27 years of age will become the youngest female lawmaker in Israel's history.
While the election of so many women was further evidence of Israel's progressiveness in a region where women's rights are typically trampled upon, Labor's new list was deemed too far to the left to effectively challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the national leadership.

It's that time of year when holiday desserts and treats are piled upon us. Here are five tips from Bay Area fitness guru Joanie Greggains to help you slice through the temptation and still have a good time:
1. Don't starve yourself. The number one rule to avoid holiday overeating is to make sure you eat something before you go to holiday parties. Arriving hungry will make it difficult to resist overeating all that high-calorie holiday food.
2. You're not hungry, you're thirsty. Often, what we think are hunger pangs are actually due to dehydration. So, before diving into a plate of appetizers. test your hunger signal by drinking an 8-ounce glass of water. Wait about five minutes and pay attention to see if you are still hungry.
3. Eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast often results in over indulging later in the day, especially dangerous during the holidays with so many sugary foods around. Even if you're not hungry, start your day off with a light breakfast such as fruit and yogurt or a protein shake.
4. Exercise. As little as 30 minutes a day of cardiovascular exercise can help you deal with the stress that the holidays can bring. The main thing is to MOVE. Taking a walk after dinner is especially helpful because moving around will help with digestion and reduce your chance of becoming sluggish or tired.
5. Buy a new outfit. Buy something that makes you feel good and that you are really looking forward to wearing. When you feel good about yourself on the outside, it will help you respect yourself from the inside and you'll be less inclined to keep reaching for "just one more cookie."

Study Guide is Currently Unavailable
There is no study guide available for this rate at the current time. It is our goal to create study guides for every rate but we are sometimes limited by the references we can legally post. References must be Distribution A: approved for public release and unclassified for us to post and create study material for them. If a document is classified, limited distribution, or copyrighted there is unfortunately nothing we can do.
However, if you see that we do have a lot of the references available for study but no quizzes or study guides available it just means we haven't created them yet but we fully plan on it. We can't give you an ETA as much as we wish we could. Thank you for your understanding and keep checking back as we are always working on creating new and updated study material.

As expected, the Mets picked up the $11 million option for Jose Reyes for 2011 and left open the possibility of a long term extension.
Those talks won't happen soon.
When the Mets signed Reyes to a multi-year deal in 2006, he was on the verge of stardom and being a special player. The injuries that plagued him early in career were seemingly behind him, he was an All-Star and regarded as one of the top leadoff hitters in the game. There seemed to be no ceiling to his potential and the Mets rewarded him for they thought he might provide.
But, he hasn't lived up to those expectations. He hasn't provided.
Reyes missed most of the 2009 season with hamstring injuries, and was sidelined this spring with a thyroid issue causing justifiable concerns about his durability. For several weeks this past summer Reyes was at the top of his game, but then came the oblique problems and the season faded away for both the Mets and their shortstop.
Now it's time to talk money.
Based on what he gave the Mets the past two seasons, would you sign Reyes to a long-term deal now?
Alderson's thinking is to keep Reyes for 2011 to see where he is in his career, then make a decision for the future beginning for 2012 when he has more money. Reyes must prove he's healthy and the player the Mets have long envisioned. He needs to improve his on-base percentage, start being a threat on the bases again – where is the guy who stole over 60 bases? – and sharpen a focus that still wanders.
All that talk about Reyes becoming a gamebreaker, a force, an elite player … well, Alderson is waiting for it to happen this summer. Reyes must prove to the Mets he finally is that player if he's to get the extension he wants.
If he doesn't, then this time next year the Mets could be letting him walk.

This year we are going to change themes more often. Our second theme is Suburbia. Drawing from this theme we hope you will submit more pictures for us to feature each Friday.
Here are the ground rules for 2008:
1. The title of of the picture must relate to the word "suburbia" (you may define that any way you like)
2. The picture should relate to the concept of home (you may define that any way you like)
This is our weekly celebration of ACCESSIBLE photography, which means beautiful artwork that you can actually hang on your wall tonight.
We're happy to be doing it again with our friends Marty Weiss and Allegra Wilde who are curating pics from Meter Gallery.
Reader submissions will be posted bi-weekly and Meter will be in between. That means it a full on amateur and professional show!
• Title
• Location (wherever your home is)
• Your Name (linked to either your website or email if you desire)
• Short description (optional)
As it says above, we'd like to link to you and bring you lots of attention if you'd like it AND so that people could get a copy of your picture by purchase or share.
Submit your own "Suburbia" pic to newyork(at)apartmenttherapy.com, put "Suburbia" in the subject field and let people know how to get a copy!
You can sell them or give them away, we don't mind, just give us all the info and we'll put it in the post.
Check out our online partner Meter Gallery, where Meter's photos can be purchased.

Beautiful design and highest quality materials. I'm THRILLED. And as always the customer service from Libeling CANNOT be beat. I am a loyal customer and very rarely get shoes anywhere else anymore. Their work is absolutely some of the best out there in materials, construction, design, and comfort. I can't recommend them highly enough. I have friends who have shopped with them since hearing my praise and they all like their work as well.
I can barely walk in these shoes - because someone stops to compliment me on them and ask where I got them every five feet. I cannot go anywhere without other women going crazy for these shoes. They fit like a dream and they make every outfit special. Well worth the price!
Thank you so very much! The first time I ordered shoes online, but very good advice from the team. The shipment arrived in no time and the shoes are stunning! Can't thank you enough!

I adored Princess. I went to her restaurant on 1st and 1st many times in the late 80's and through the 90's. Oh, the stories! A night at Southern Touch was always an adventure, and never ever disappointed. She was one of a kind. I've always wondered what became of her -- and of Ada and Bobby. Her cookbook is a treasure, and I'm so glad it's been republished. Wherever you are, Princess, I love you and miss you ;-)
I did not expect this article to be so emotional for me. And Rob Sacher your story made me even moreso. Thank you for writing this and thanks to those helping to revive her legacy.
I met the Princess two times in my life. The first time was when my parents took me to her restaurant, The Little Kitchen, where we had a wonderful meal and she entertained everyone in the restaurant with her singing and dancing while she cooked our meals at her stove which was on a side wall just a few feet away from where the four restaurant tables were located. It was like being in her home and she did put on a show. I was only about seven or eight and I guess it was back in 1968 or '69, I believe. It was such an extraordinary evening that my mom and I still talk about today. The second time I met the Princess was many years later. It had always been my dream to open a cool indie rock club in Manhattan's East Village and I got to do that twice. The first time was when I opened a club called Mission (1989-1993) and the second club was called Luna Lounge (1995-2005).Luna was on Ludlow Street which was across the street and half way down the block from where The Little Kitchen was located. I knew nothing of this and hardly could recall where the restaurant was that I had ate in with my parents when I was a little boy. I remembered the experience and the food but not the address or area of the city that we were in. But, one day I happened to be walking past 78 East 1st Street which is actually on the north side of East Houston Street and I noticed a tiny sign above the entrance to a very small restaurant. It read, "The Little Kitchen". And then it all came rushing back to me. In that moment, I recalled that one meal with the Princess more than twenty five years earlier.It was in the middle of the afternoon and I decided to poke my head in the door and see if the room was still as I remembered from that one night so long ago. What happened next is permanently seared into my heart and memory. The door was unlocked and I looked in to see that there was no one in the restaurant except for the Princess. She was just sitting there by herself in the darkness, very much alone with her thoughts. I felt that I was intruding on her solitude and I also felt embarrassed to be so clumsy in the moment.I asked her if she could tell me what nights the restaurant was open and what hours would she be there cooking. She looked at me and with a presence and power profound in a single sentence she told me that the restaurant was no longer open. I got the feeling that she was not well. I wanted to apologize for intruding upon her space but I simply said that I had eaten there many years earlier as a little boy and that now that I was living in the neighborhood I had hoped to have another meal there.She just smiled at me from across the room. I was still standing at the entrance. I never crossed those several feet to where she was sitting. The space between her and myself on that day seemed as far as one side of the Grand Canyon to the other. I am sure that it was deep and wide. I backed out of the doorway and closed it gently behind me and made my way west down Houston Street with her on my mind. I passed the building many times over the course of the next few weeks. It was always closed. The Little KItchen was gone. The Princess was gone. A month or two later, a new restaurant opened in that space. I went into it a few times just for the memory of seeing her and feeling her presence those two times in my life.Coming across this book has made my day, today. And, wherever the Princess is, I hope I get to meet her one more time and express to her my sense of appreciation in knowing that she had touched my life, twice.

Clearly identifying your audience and model customer can also help expedite things. "Your target audience is a broad concept of who you want to go after with your product or service," says Jackson. "If you're talking about
Brunello Cucinelli Suede Oxford Loafers Fake Cheap Online hrMUz
for example, it'll be something like 'urban people who don't own cars.' This is still pretty broad."
There's a lot of benefit to boiling this larger group down to a single, well-drawn individual.
"In the UX world, people often talk about 'personas' in this way," says Jackson. "You literally say, 'Meet Sally, she's 31, lives in San Francisco and cares about the environment. She used to own a Prius but the cost of maintenance was too high, so she donated it and now relies on ZipCar to get out of the city on weekends.' You want whoever is receiving your creative brief to feel like they know exactly who this person is and what they're motivated by."
This doesn't mean that the company or product will only appeal to people like Sally, but it will give it an edge with the wider audience that resembles Sally, she says. "You can start to ask questions like, okay so if this is our audience, how do we get in front of them? How do we get them to remember us? How do we draw them in?"
How to Prepare for Launch
Launches and campaigns all require key messaging that touches on these questions and explains more about why people should care. To arrive at clean, simple messaging that makes your point loud and clear, you should rely on two acronyms:
SOCO (Single Overriding Communications Objective): Whether you're developing a brand identity or campaign work or a video, you want to be able to articulate the one most important thing you want the work to communicate. Just one thing. Know it by heart.SOCO (Single Overriding Communications Objective):
SOCA (Single Overriding Communications Avoidance): The complete opposite of your SOCO, this is the one thing that is the most important for you to avoid communicating. What is the one message, weakness, problem or liability that you absolutely don't want users or the press to hear? Everyone who may be talking about your product for your company should have your SOCA firmly in mind.SOCA (Single Overriding Communications Avoidance):
A good example of a
is an early line used by

: "It just works." It relays all of the simplicity, security and user ease that the brand wants to project, and it's easy for people to repeat over and over again.
My work in Mexico City involves collaboration with public health and environmental health scientists from the United States, Mexico, and Canada who have been studying the developmental effects of chemical exposures over the life course through a birth-cohort study of about nine hundred matched mother-child pairs recruited from throughout Mexico City (
Alexander Wang Devon Flatform Espadrilles Free Shipping Nicekicks 0wQ3PN2
; Giuseppe Zanotti Leather ChainLink Boots Outlet Reliable Cheap Sale Geniue Stockist Free Shipping Manchester Shop For s2STHuK
). My ethnographic work focuses on six of the study participant families, who are located in two working-class neighborhoods, Colonia Periférico and Buena Vista. Miu Miu Perforated PeepToe Sandals Buy Cheap Very Cheap Discount Cheapest View For Sale Find Great Cheap Price Exclusive 1OP5WClF
The environmental health scientists increasingly make connections between nutrition, chemical exposure, and body mass. This is especially apt for a study in Mexico, a country since 2013 designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the world's fattest industrial nation, and one in which fat is intensively classed ( Lambertson Truex CrocodileTrimmed Slingback Pumps Quality From China Cheap Buy Cheap Visit Good Selling 7upYB23hl
In discussing the children who have grown up over the course of the study, the environmental health scientists I work with often invoke the concept of resilience. In early 2016 a team member, Dr. Arias, said to me, "What we're finding is that some kids are resilient. It's like they don't somatize what they are living. They don't get it through their body." Comments about the impermeability of some children's bodies emerge from efforts across public health and the life sciences to find mechanisms for creating individually resilient kids. Impermeability to surroundings should stabilize children in the face of unstable realities. This notion of bounded resilience unnerves me. It does nothing to change structural inequalities and naturalizes certain groups as able to endure more. The individualized focus on preventing what kids "are living" from getting inside can feel pragmatic, though, given that Mexico's current reality makes imagining large-scale change impossible. But I don't want that to be true.
In this article I am interested in how Señora Nati, a rural-to-urban migrant-colonist in Mexico City, and Dr. Arias, a U.S.-based health researcher, both experience what-gets-inside as crucial to what shapes life conditions for themselves and others. Neither of them is celebrating the postmodern collapse of distinctions between inside and out, or arguing that insides are always already outsides, or vice versa. Thinking with Señora Nati and Dr. Arias, I seek to examine how maintaining an inside and managing what enters it constitutes a crucial survival response within the continued violent capitalist interpenetration of all the earth's biota. Dr. Arias and Señora Nati possess different means to manage problematic interpenetration. Dr. Arias seeks the impermeability of a resilient, sovereign, bounded individual, preventing the world from getting inside. Instead of prevention, Señora Nati assumes that survival depends on the management of what gets inside and what does not. By asserting boundaries, both approaches complicate the social sciences' recent embrace of entanglement.

Commissioners also approved budgets for the Roads, Health, Emergency Services, Road Capital, Landfill, Tort Liability, Library and Trust funds. In summary, budgets totaling $19.5 million were approved by the Commission.
In addition, the Commission has announced that instead of a separate appropriation, capital projects will be reviewed and approved on an as-needed basis.
The Commission made several adjustments to ensure that the 2013 budget remains balanced. County Auditor John Fellmeth reports that, after all is said and done and paid, actual expenditures from the 2013 General Fund may come in at about $1 million under the $12 million budget.
Fellmeth reports, "With normal expenditures for the remainder of the year, we will not come anywhere near spending the (2013) budget."
Relatively small adjustments were made to the 2013 Health, Ambulance, Landfill and Library budgets to ensure that they will balance.
For the 2014 budget, the county is expecting that total expenditures will exceed total revenues by approximately $1.8 million. The difference will be made up through the various reserves funds held by the county.
Of the $1.8 million, $1.7 million will come in road funds, including the B Road fund and the Road Capital fund.
Officials state that a variety of factors, including the effects of the Federal Sequestration, have had an impact on San Juan County.
The biggest impact is on the road funds, hence the expected $1.7 million adjustment. The B Road fund has a $16 million fund balance.
Referring to budgetary issues surrounding county roads, Commissioners explained that there will be cuts in services because of the drop in revenue.
Poor-quality asphalt roads may need to go to a high-quality gravel roads.
Fellmeth explained, "Many of the changes are due to a reduction in payments from the federal government for programs that existed for several years, but that are simply going away."
Commissioners said that the county aging programs saw Sequester cuts. In addition, payments from the federal government in leiu of taxes (PILT) were decreased.
They add that threatened cuts in federal mineral lease funds could have a significant impact on local government programs and services.
In June, Commissioners approved a "revenue-neutral" approach to property taxes, resulting in a decrease in property taxes for most taxpayers.
Commissioners explain that the estimated $300,000 impact on the budget was dealt with through a number of methods, including eliminating a full time position in the county government and two fulltime positions in the road department.
In addition, the county has been more conservative on capital expenditures. Commissioner Lyman added, "San Juan County still has room for more cuts while focusing more on providing essential services."

My father and both his brothers served in the US Army, and while I never had the chance to don a uniform, I often thought what an honor it would be, and even went so far as to meet with recruiters for different branches of the service.
For most Americans, despite our being at war in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the notion of "war" is about as foreign a concept as Chinese human rights - there's no basis for even attempting to approximate the experience of one who's lived through a conflict, let alone fought in it (never mind he who died in battle, or those left behind). Yet I myself am fascinated by that momentous event known as World War II and never tire of learning more about the men who fought for both the Allies and the Axis, the various campaigns in which they died and their individual stories of heroism and triumph. Right now I'm especially interested in fighter aces of the German Luftwaffe, men who were probably some of the noblest soldiers in an ignoble conflict.
The highest-scoring ace of the war - and indeed the history of air combat - was the German Erich Hartmann, with 352 confirmed kills (and certainly many more that went unconfirmed). Three-hundred-and-fifty-two confirmed kills! By contrast, the last "Ace" in the US Navy was Randall "Duke" Cunningham, who scored five confirmed aerial victories during the Vietnam War. I cite the disparity in their scores not because I think Hartmann was any better a pilot than Cunningham, but rather because the historical conditions that enabled the German to tally such an unprecedented number of kills will likely never be repeated. And yet Hartmann was not the only German to have shot-down more than 300 opponents! His compatriot Gerhard Barkhorn claimed 301! (List of WWII air aces.)
We live in an age of technology so complex and sophisticated that nowadays a pilot need not even see with his own eyes the hostile enemy aircraft he intends to shoot down. And yet the danger to these men - and women - is no less great than it was for Hartmann and Barkhorn while they hacked away on the Eastern Front. Nor was the threat of death any less real for Randy Cunningham - though it wouldn't be a North Vietnamese MIG fighter that brought-about the California native's downfall, but rather a corruption scandal while he was a member of the US Congress... (proof that even heroes are mortal men who can be led astray by the temptations of a very material, self-focused world?) Cunningham's failures as a leader stand in direct contrast to Hartmann's heroism both during the War and after, when he endured 10 years of Soviet captivity.
But despite their fascinating stories, and service to their respective countries, neither man lost his life in combat. And while both deserve the recognition that has been duly accorded them, let us spare a thought now for the tens of thousands of American soldiers unknown to us who throughout the years have made the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives in battle to defend the interests of a nation and her people.
I previously wrote about Remembrance Day, and "Der Gute Kamerad,", a video of which I'll repost below. But let me leave you with "In Flanders Fields," written during WW I on 3 May 1915 by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae:
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Michael Phelps settled for another runner-up finish at the Charlotte Grand Prix when he was edged by China's Wu Peng in the 200-meter butterfly.
Phelps was second all the way Saturday night, trailing Wu at the first turn, then falling behind Sebastien Rousseau through the middle of the race. Wu, who broke Phelps' long winning streak in the 200 fly last year, showed an impressive finishing kick, passing Rousseau and Phelps to win in 1 minute, 56.69 seconds. Phelps was next at 1:56.87, while Rousseau slipped to third in 1:57.54.
Phelps competed in only two races at Charlotte, also finishing second in the 200 freestyle. He will swim just one more meet, a minor event in Texas, before the U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha in late June.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department on Wednesday lifted financial sanctions against the popular Colombian soccer team America de Cali, enabling it to play in the United States and receive U.S. corporate sponsorship.
The "Red Devils," as the club is known, became mired in financial trouble after their Cali drug cartel patrons were jailed in 1995, ending a windfall of cocaine-tied wealth that helped it assemble one of South America's priciest line-ups.
The mayor of Cali, once a major hub for the nation's cocaine trade, launched a campaign several years ago to have the club removed from the U.S. blacklist. The team regularly draws crowds of up to 18,000 in Colombia.
America de Cali severed ties with the drug trade and restructured its corporate ownership under the supervision of Colombia's government, prompting the Treasury Department's action on Wednesday. It had been blacklisted since 1999.
"Today's lifting of the designation of America de Cali is a testament to the enormous efforts made in recent years by both the team and the Colombian government to completely break with the criminal influences that have overshadowed the team in the past," David Cohen, Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in a statement.
The leaders of the cartel, Miguel and Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, owned shares in America de Cali and held positions on its board of directors. The United States blocked them from dealing with U.S. companies and froze their assets in 1995.
Soccer and the drug trade used to be intertwined in Colombia - referees and players were bribed and occasionally murdered - but the ties frayed after Bogota launched a U.S.-backed crackdown on the cartels, armed gangs and leftist rebels who controlled coca production.
The government in Colombia, which remains the world's top cocaine producer, has touted the anti-drug efforts as key to luring foreign investors and tourist back to the country.

John & Charlie: looking forward to the future after their dream wedding
August 14, 2013
Just a few short days before the Supreme Court issued its historic rulings in June, John Crisafulli and Charlie Cornish enjoyed their own celebration by tying the knot in front of their closest friends and family. Both natives of the Northeast, the two married in Massachusetts slightly over a month ago and just bought their first home in MA together.
Charlie and John met in fall 2008, while Charlie was a junior at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and John was a senior at Bryant University in Rhode Island. Although they were attending separate schools at the time, they knew almost immediately after meeting that they wanted to give a relationship a chance. "We were many states apart but we just had that 'feeling,' and decided it was worth the long distance," John said.
During winter break, Charlie went home to Massachusetts and John remained in Rhode Island, so they took advantage of the shorter distance and went on their first three dates, which confirmed the spark they knew they had for each other. Following that vacation, they each took turns traveling to see the other. "Over the course of these visits we were slowly falling in love, and come summer, we knew we were meant to be together," Charlie added.
As soon as summer arrived, John and Charlie were together nearly every weekend, exploring Boston, Providence, and Cape Cod, going to the beach, and spending time with each other and their families and friends. When fall came, Charlie returned to Pennsylvania for his last year of college, but the visits continued and the relationship kept deepening. Once he graduated, he secured a full-time job back in Boston and they spent almost every weekend together again – including "one very special weekend," John said. Charlie surprised John with dinner at Top of the Hub in Boston. John described it as "a very special dinner overlooking a beautiful city," and knew something was up when they returned to their hotel room and he saw the floor strewn with rose petals, and a bottle of champagne on the table. "This was the night that he asked me to marry him and spend the rest of our lives together," John said – and, of course, told him yes in response.
John and Charlie immediately began making arrangements for the celebration after moving in together in Boston in May 2012. The wedding weekend began with an intimate rehearsal dinner and welcome cocktails on Friday night, June 7, 2013. The actual ceremony took place the following day, when their parents walked them down an aisle in front of a large group of their family and friends in Falmouth, Cape Cod under a clear blue sky. "Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and so much more!" John said. "The pictures hold such incredible memories that we will treasure forever." Charlie added, "The company makes the feast, and our guests added so much warmth and happiness to an already momentously happy occasion."
Even though the wedding day has come and gone, John and Charlie are excited about their future together. "We come from incredibly supportive and loving families and we hope to someday have our own children and raise them with the same sense of family values and traditions," John said. Charlie echoed John stating "Marriage matters to us because we grew up in very strong, stable families, with loving parents who are still married to this day. Our parents taught us how to love, how to care for each other and how to make it work in good times and bad."
"One of the reasons we were so compatible from the start is because we shared that experience and desire to have our own family one day," John continued. "We both knew that we would want to express our deep love and respect for each other in the form of marriage and that we wanted to raise children as a married couple… We haven't yet decided how we will start our family, but we hope to bring two children into our lives." Charlie agreed, "We love children and look forward to starting our family soon, including a few dogs!"
In spite of having their dream wedding, John and Charlie know that things are still not perfect. "We are fortunate to live in a region of the country where our marriage is recognized and our rights are plenty, however, we don't take those rights for granted as we know there are many who cannot say the same," John said.
As Freedom to Marry continues working to ensure that couples across the country can marry in the states that they call home, it's stories like John and Charlie's that keep us going.

I did a search for a marriage that I knew took place in Pennsylvania in the early 1900's, that of Nathaniel David Kremer to Effie Bertha Cohen. Using the standard search box at
In addition to the date of the marriage I now know the names of both sets of parents, as well as the estimated dates of births for both the bride and groom. In addition, by clicking on the tab to view the original document it is also possible to see the original Application for Marriage License as well as the Original Marriage License (below).
By being able to view the original documents, we are now able to gain additional information such as the addresses of the bride and groom as well as their occupations. We also now know that the marriage was performed by the Rabbi Louis Silver. This database should be a great access for families in Pennsylvania.

The local job market, alleviating storm water back-up, finding a balance between downtown business and the eastside development are all issues that presented questions for Watseka's mayoral and Ward 1 aldermanic candidates at a form last night.
Fifty-five people attended the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event at celebrations to hear Mayor Bob Harwood and John Burch answer questions.
Incumbent alderman Marvin Purvis and challenger Mark Garfield also addressed the audience. They answered questions about ways to improve Watseka's image and attracting better-paying job opportunities.

Women can be the best agents of peace — if we let them | Roma Bhattacharjea
20 Sep 2013
It is 21 September 2013 and the buzzword is peace. But when we talk about peace, we often think of men laying down weapons, signing treaties and rebuilding countries.
On this International Day of Peace, however, we need to remember the fundamental role of women in countries affected by conflict. Remember women not as hapless victims, but as agents of change who invest in their families and communities and who have the potential to build peaceful and prosperous societies.
The international community can do more to support women in accessing employment, property, markets and new skills. Supporting their financial independence may go a long way towards giving women a voice and the power to negotiate when it comes to making decisions within families and communities in even the most remote, war-torn corners of the Earth.
Improving women's access to education, capital, jobs and markets promotes balanced and inclusive growth. The Asia-Pacific region loses $42 billion to $47 billion per year because of restrictions on women's access to employment opportunities. This hurts social cohesion, stability and trust in institutions, which are fundamental for long-term peace.
Women with jobs are also far more likely than men to invest their income in food, education and health care for their families. With healthier and better educated children, societies can begin to end cycles of poverty and violence.
These goals are not unattainable. UNDP has long been focusing on empowering women to actively help prevent conflicts and equally participate in the process of recovering from crisis situations. In Burundi, after decades of civil war, UNDP helped more than 7,000 people — of whom 47 percent were women — invest their savings in small businesses in 2012. The project not only increased household incomes but gave these women an economic stake in long-term peace.
Across the world, women already play a fundamental role in advocating change. They just need to be supported and acknowledged.
Talk to us: How do you think the international community can empower women in conflict situations?

Food Safety Lab
Hello design world. I am a Certified Instructor and Registered Proctor for the ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification and Examination as well as the ServSafe Alcohol program. I teach nationwide.
I laugh when I see the amateurish styling and difficult navigation that ALL other competitors use for their website. My goal is to first establish a clean logo that embodies a 5-star presence...a way to visually distinguish me from the rest. The program is identical so I'm starting out by wanting to create something that makes me stand out.
I enjoy clean, easy to navigate websites and logos. Look at the elegant styling for http://www.crumbs.com. It simply is a bakeshop...a place to buy a cupcake.. but why does this stand out from others? Does the logo help justify spending $3.75 for a jumbo cupcake??
I need guests to feel a sense of value that will translate first from the logo...and eventually to how the website will be layed out. This contest is focusing on the former.
This logo for Food Safety Lab will be incorporated into my website, http://www.thefoodsafetylab.com (there is no "the" registered with my name...only the domain). There is nothing on my website currently worth looking at. Basic content will be added this week and a new "skin" will be selected temporarily until this contest progresses.
Let me first mention that no one likes to sit through a lecture and class...followed by an exam. But this program meets regulatory requirements in almost all states...and the certification is usually valid for a period of 5 years.
The ideal candidate for this certification are chefs and managers. Some young chefs are brandishing the trendy thick looped earrings and a splash of tattooes, while more conservative target audiences have been in the industry since you were in diapers!
Most large organizations and chain restaurants may not have a need for my services as they usually have internal trainers. I am also authorized to train people on becoming a trainer.
I get inquiries from all walks of the culinary world. Most are first timers, while a few are seeking re-certification. Feel free to browse the ServSafe.com website to see more program details...for each of the 2 programs (ServSafe and ServSafe Alcohol).
Looking to brand myself...to create a logo that personifies and imbues an upper crust mentality while providing a look not dated or amateurish. Yesterdays look will not fly for today's marketplace. I will leave all those to my competitors.
There are several components important to my company that create an edge.
1. I offer a GUARANTEED PASS program
2. I offer flexibility in that I come to your facility to train...at a day/time convenient to you
3. Bulk discounts (sign up more...save $)
