U.S.-United Arab Emirates Trade FactsPullover Lilly Lilly Pulitzer Pullover Sweater Boutique Sweater Boutique Pulitzer qw4BvtS1
The UAE is a federation of seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Qaiwain, Fujairah, and Ras Al-Khaimah). The individual emirates founded the UAE in December 1971. Over the last 38 years, the UAE has developed into the second largest economy in the Arab world.
Despite possessing substantial petroleum reserves, the UAE has pursued free market, trade liberalizing policies to diversify its economy away from a dependence on fossil fuel. Rapid growth in the nonoil economy reduced oil's share of GDP from 60 percent in 1980 to 35.8 percent in nominal terms in 2007. The U.S. and UAE entered into a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) in 2004, which established a formal dialogue to promote increased trade and investment between the two countries.
United Arab Emirates is currently our 26th largest goods trading partner with $25.8 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2016. Goods exports totaled $22.4 billion; goods imports totaled $3.4 billion. The U.S. goods trade surplus with United Arab Emirates was $19.0 billion in 2016.

There is no shortage of adrenalin thrills on Yas Island. This artificial island, custom-made for the Formule 1 Grand Prix, lies just off the coast of Abu Dhabi. This oil state likes to think big so the rest of the island is packed with luxury attractions for its visitors. There are more than 50 restaurants, various luxury hotels and child-friendly attractions.
Yas Island is also known as the Arabian Monaco. When you drive onto the island, you are likely to be greeted by the sound of roaring engines. This is a real car paradise, but that is certainly not the only attraction. Shopaholics will enjoy the Yas Mall, where practically every famous brand is represented. For a fun-filled day, visit Yas Waterworld, an enormous water park with spectacular slides and water attractions.
The biggest attraction on Yas is the Marina Circuit. This is where the Formule 1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi is held every year. When there are no races, you have the chance to go around the track or ride with a professional racer. The circuit runs along the harbour and underneath the Yas Marina Hotel. The race takes place partially in the dark so that the sidelines boast impressive light installations. Speed fans will also love Ferrari World, located next to the race track. This amusement park is inspired by the Italian car manufacturer. It features the fastest rollercoaster in the world (Formula Rossa), several Italian restaurants and espresso bars. Younger visitors can try the Ferrari go-carts.
Water lovers will make a splash at Yas Waterworld, a 15 hectare water park. The theme park is based on a story of a young girl looking for a legendary pearl. Impressive slides set the scene. Try the 238-metre-long Tornado slide Dawwama or the 8-metre-high Jebel Drop, where the first part of the slide goes almost straight down. For surfers there is the Bubble's Barrel. These artificial waves are not only great for surfing but also for flow boarding and body boarding.
Big, bigger, biggest: that is Abu Dhabi's motto. And that is certainly the case at Yas Mall. With more than 370 stores and 60 restaurants, this is the largest mall in Abu Dhabi. In addition to major international labels, you will also find local brands here. There is also a replica of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, made entirely from Lego. Little ones can play at the Fun Works playground, whereas older children will have a blast in the laser game hall or in the bumper cars. Or hop in a flight simulator and fly to Hong Kong or St. Maarten. Yas Mall also features 4DX cinemas. In addition to seeing and hearing the movie, you will also smell and feel it.

With its many opportunities for walking, biking and other activities, Gray's Lake Park is the "Place to Meet" in the Des Moines Metro area. The centerpiece of the park's renewal plan is the 1.9-mile trail encircling the lake. This trail is lit and provides a beautiful, clean and safe outdoor experience. The 167-acre Gray's Lake Park is located in the heart of the City of Des Moines, at the site of a former gravel and sand excavation operation. The park is located on the southwestern edge of downtown Des Moines with entrances located on the east side of the major north/south arterial corridor of the City at 2101 Fleur Drive. Water for the park's 100-acre namesake lake is supplied by the adjacent Raccoon River back-up waters and storm water runoff from the City's southwest side.
Venture off of the Kruidenier Trail at Gray's Lake Park and try out some of the wonderful activities and lessons that the Parks and Recreation staff plans throughout the year.
FishingGray's Lake hosts an unusual combination of fish - those typically found in rivers as well as those found in lakes. According to the Iowa DNR, Gray's Lake is one of the best cat fishing spots in central Iowa. The lake offers many good fishing access points from shore for the fishing enthusiast who does not have a boat. Fishing is permitted in all areas except on the pedestrian bridge and boat rental dock when it is open for rentals. The major species of fish include channel catfish, crapies and largemouth bass.
Sailing and CanoeingBring your sail boat or canoe to beautiful Gray's Lake for a day-long or early evening outing. Visit Gray's Lake concessions for boat rentals from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and bike and sailboat rentals from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
SwimmingSwimming is allowed in the designated beach area only. No lifeguard is on duty, but a limited number of life jackets are provided free of charge at the swimming beach.

Gabelli & Company is the marketing name for the registered broker dealer G.research, LLC, which was formerly known as G.research, Inc. Gabelli & Company ("we" or "us") attempts to provide timely, value-added insights into companies or industry dynamics for institutional investors. Our research reports generally contain a recommendation of "buy," "hold," "sell" or "non-rated." We do not undertake to "upgrade" or "downgrade" ratings after publishing a report. We currently have reports on 382 companies, of which 59%, 30%, 1% and 10% have a recommendation of buy, hold, sell or non-rated, respectively. The percentage of companies so rated for which we provided investment banking services within the past 12 months is 0%, 0%, 0% and less than 1%.
Ratings - Analysts' ratings are largely (but not always) determined by our "private market value," or PMV methodology. Our basic goal is to understand in absolute terms what a rational, strategic buyer would pay for an asset in an open, arms-length transaction. At the same time, analysts also look for underlying catalysts that could encourage those private market values to surface.
A Buy rated stock is one that in our view is trading at a meaningful discount to our estimated PMV. We could expect a more modest private market value to increase at an accelerated pace, the discount of the public stock price to PMV to narrow through the emergence of a catalyst, or some combination of the two to occur.
A Hold is a stock that may be trading at or near our estimated private market value. We may not anticipate a large increase in the PMV, or see some other factors at work.
A Sell is a stock that may be trading at or above our estimated PMV. There may be little upside to the value, or limited opportunity to realize the value. Economic or sector risk could also be increasing.

I've been researching my family history for quite some time (mostly online which I plan to change in the near future) and one of the most frustrating moments for me is when I come across a GREAT database or index for Oregon…..or Delaware…..or some other state/locality that I'm certain my ancestors never saw. It was one of those moments recently that gave me this idea.

I've collected hundreds of pieces of information when I've come across one of these online gems that happens to cover my family's slice of the world. Going forward, every time I find one, I'm going to post the link here so that others might stumble across this information about our place in the world.

A proposal to require political protesters to get a permit to use Boulder parks is getting a second look from city officials after the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously voiced its lack of support for the idea.
The city attorney's office and the parks and recreation department had put together a draft ordinance requiring protest permits for groups larger than 25 outside of what the ordinance called "designated advocacy areas."
Boulder's elected leaders asked staffers to look into the idea when City Manager Jane Brautigam proposed closing parks at night in response to the Occupy Boulder encampment. With the City Council's support, Brautigam authorized the nighttime closure rule, and an Occupy camp in front of the municipal building was disbanded early this year.
"The idea was that, when this all calms down, we ought to have a policy," City Attorney Tom Carr said.
As originally drafted, the ordinance designates several "advocacy areas," most of them in central Boulder near the creek. They include the Sister Cities Plaza by the municipal building, the lawn of the municipal building and Central Park.
Groups of fewer than 25 people could engage in demonstrations or protests in those areas without a permit -- provided no other group already had a permit for that location.
Larger groups could apply for a permit from the city manager's office.
Permits would have to be requested five days in advance, and there would be a process to appeal a denial. Consideration of permit requests would be "content-neutral." There would be no fee for a permit, but city officials could require a damage deposit for larger groups.
There also would be an "advocacy adjunct" permit to set up stands, tents or booths on park property.
"The idea was that people should be able to protest without a permit unless they were going to have an impact on park property or other people," Carr said. "It doesn't interfere with First Amendment rights but also allows for other groups to use facilities."
But when the ordinance was presented for review to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on Monday, members raised serious concerns, starting with whether the ordinance was necessary at all.
"Several members of PRAB struggled a bit with what problem we were trying to solve, considering the fact that the parks closure rule already is in place," said Bob Yates, the board's chairman.
There also were concerns about how protesters were supposed to know how many people would show up for a demonstration, and especially about the requirement that applications be made five days in advance to an office that is only open during business hours Monday through Friday.
"Oftentimes, a protest or a demonstration is in response to a very current event," Yates said. "Something happens, and people want to go protest the next day or day after. We were concerned it might have the unintentional consequence of chilling free speech."
The parks board unanimously adopted a motion expressing "non-support" for the ordinance as written. Yates said board members could see the benefit of requiring some sort of notice for larger protests in order to have extra police on hand for safety reasons, but they thought the ordinance went too far.
"Assuming for the sake of argument that there is a problem we need to solve, I think the ordinance can be repaired," Yates said.
Judd Golden of the Boulder County American Civil Liberties Union chapter said the courts have agreed that government can place reasonable "time, place and manner" restrictions on demonstrations, but the ordinance as proposed is not reasonable.
"The idea of a five-day notice is not reasonable," he said. "First Amendment activity is often spontaneous. If some major event occurs, and people want to get together to have a vigil, that is unreasonable to restrict that. That is not a reasonable time, place and manner restriction."
Golden pointed to the protests in response to President Barack Obama's visit to Boulder earlier this week. Protesters would not have had time to seek a permit if a five-day requirement was in place.
The local ACLU chapter has worked with city officials before to develop regulations on political activity for the Pearl Street Mall that were acceptable to both sides, Golden said. He said the city shouldn't overreact to concerns raised by the Occupy encampment.
"The city is progressively moving in directions that are unreasonably restricting First Amendment activity because of a handful of excesses by very few," he said. "Restricting the First Amendment freedoms of everyone because of the misdeeds of a few is very bad public policy."
The ordinance was to have gone to the City Council on May 15 for a first reading, but Carr said officials will be discussing whether it should be rewritten to address some of the concerns.
Yates said he hopes city officials take the parks board's reaction seriously.
"We're the parks board, not free speech specialists, but we are supposed to represent the community," he said. "If seven of us come together without any prior discussion and have the same reaction, we think that might be indicative of the community reaction."

What do you do when you want to make a big impression in a small space? When the owner of this Washington D.C. area home was renovating, it was an opulent classic cinema that was going to make his small basement loom large. On a referral from the homeowner's interior designer, Gramophone, a custom electronics design and installation firm from Timonium, Md., was selected for the job. While the homeowner wasn't sure exactly what types of products and systems he wanted, he knew that whatever those products and systems were, they had to be some of the best.
What he got was probably more than he expected—a grand showpiece that includes a Runco projector, 120-inch Stewart Filmscreen display, B&W Cinema Series speakers and McIntosh Audio components backing it all up. To operate the theater, Gramophone suggested Crestron's DigitalMedia control system, which not only puts the homeowner in charge of the gear, but channels audio, video and control to the rest of the house.
The entire house received a technology overhaul, but it's the theater that grabs most of the attention. Design was paramount. Upon entering the space, visitors are greeted by a luxurious room of red and gold—with gold leaf accents, faux finishes, classical Greek columns, upholstered walls and even a gold-accented fi replace framed by a pair of lion heads. There's nothing subtle about this room.
Of course, working a state-of-the-art theater into a room that measures only 20 by 20 feet, and concealing all of the gear, is no small challenge. Gramophone director of custom sales Elliot Wier says that it was critical that the installation of the electronics coordinated with the work provided by the other contractors and designers because so much of the equipment would be built into the structure.
To enhance the illusion of a room devoid of technology, Gramophone installed an acoustically transparent screen, a 120-inch Stewart Filmscreen FireHawk G3 with microperforations. The B&W speakers are mounted behind the screen to both hide them and to ensure that the sound comes from the image area and not from underneath or above the screen.
The G3 screen, combined with the very bright Runco VX-33d (built into the wall and insulated behind projector glass), provides enough light to make a high-contrast image that can be viewed nicely, even with some ambient light in the room. That's a good thing, because adjoining the theater are two other rooms—a bar featuring two flat-panel TVs, and a wine room with its own sitting area. The homeowners like to entertain and they love watching sports, so a completely dark theater would result in people tripping over each other as they got up to refresh their drinks. Also, the theater only seats four, so sometimes guests will need to sit at the bar to watch the action.
Of course, guests at the bar aren't limited to watching the big screen. The two TVs mounted in that area can display content from other sources, all supplied by the A/V distribution system and a portable touchpanel. In fact, despite the small size, there's nothing limited about this theater.
While the big picture and luxurious decor gets people's attention, it's the hidden fiber-optic data network that allows the magic to happen in this house. Gramophone went with Crestron's DigitalMedia system to manage the extensive audio and video distribution, all via fiber-optic cable. The installation of fiber can be a little tricky because the wiring is comprised of glass.
But the payoff is big. It's a fully digital end-to-end system that not only sends signals from four cable DVRs and a Kaleidescape media server to the home's 13 TVs and audio zones, but it also integrates feeds from the home's security cameras. From any touchpanel in the house, users can access whatever audio or video feed they want or check the front door surveillance camera to see if UPS has dropped off a package. Fortunately for Gramophone, the inside of the house was gutted and the homeowners moved out during installation, making it easy to run all those wires.

text: Thursday, May 26, 2011 New in the Literature: Ankylosing Spondylitis (J Rheumatol. 2011 Apr 1. [Epub ahead of print]) Combining intensive group exercise with an educational-behavioral program can provide promising results in the management of patients with clinically stabilized ankylosing spondylitis (AS) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor treatment, say authors of an article available online April 1 in Journal of Rheumatology. Sixty-two outpatients (49 men, 13 women, mean age 47.5 ± 10.6 yrs) were randomized to rehabilitation plus an educational-behavioral (n = 20) program, to an educational-behavioral program only (n = 20), or to a control group (n = 22). The educational-behavioral program included 2 educational meetings and 12 rehabilitation exercise sessions (stretching, strengthening, chest and spine/hip joint flexibility exercises), which patients then performed at home. Outcome assessment at the end of rehabilitation training at 2 and 6 months was based on spinal pain intensity in the previous 4 weeks by self-report visual analog scale, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Assessment Index (BASDAI), and on chest expansion and the active range of motion of the cervical and lumbar spine measured by a pocket goniometer. On intragroup comparison at 2 months, the rehabilitation group showed significant improvement in the BASMI and BASDAI, in chest expansion, and in most spinal active range of motion measurements. BASFI and cervical and lumbar VAS scores improved in both the rehabilitation and educational-behavioral groups. The positive results achieved in the rehabilitation group were maintained at the 6-month followup.

Ben and Danni also feature on the hit Channel 4 show, Hunted and Celebrity Hunted which has been airing for over four years with another series set to be filmed this summer. I caught up with them recently to discuss the latest Fraud, tools and challenges for the Cybersecurity industry. Cybersecurity is an ever-changing landscape. What trends do you anticipate for the next 12 months and beyond? It is always difficult to pin down what the next real trend is going to be in the Cybersecurity space as adversaries are becoming ever more sophisticated. What was once a very difficult process for skilled individuals is becoming more readily available to novices with advances in software, particularly those shared on the Dark Web. What is an inevitable threat trend in the next 12-months and beyond is the exponential rise in the Internet of Things (IoT). With a world where everything is hooked up to the web, it is apparent that tech companies selling these devices are under immense pressure to get products to market. The need for speed could mean that some security principles and best practices may be overlooked. As the UK encountered during the Mirai Botnet attack of 2016, a network of electronic devices acting in concert can cripple the internet or, worst case, become a weapon that could cause actual physical damage as well as cyber damage, power stations, hospital networks to name but a few. How have Data & Analytics impacted the detection, and prevention, of cyber-crime? A company will have to protect themselves against an enormous amount of cyber threats every second. A cyber-criminal will only need one successful attempt. Data & Analytics are proving successful in the fight against cyber-crime and their proactive and holistic approach is at keeping people and businesses safe. Of course, it is Data that is being stolen, but very often Data can come to the rescue. It helps in a number of ways, e.g. identifying anomalies in employee and contractor computer usage and patterns, detecting irregularities in networks, identifies irregularities in device behaviour (a huge advantage with the rise of the IoT). What one must remember, however, is the people behind the Data. You can't simply collect Data and assume you will be able to detect and respond with the right actions. You need the people with the right analytical skills to sift through the Data, find the right signals and then react to the threat with an appropriate and timely response. What tools and technologies do you think will become increasingly important in the fraud and cyber-crime landscape? Here at Fortalice we are investing a lot of time into coverage of the Dark Web. We live in a rapidly changing digital landscape. Criminals, fraudsters, and others are now operating with more sophistication and anonymity. Where do they go to exchange fraudulent details and ideas about current victims? What medium do they use to discuss organisational targets or new ways of defrauding companies? The answer is the Dark Web. Traditionally, companies fight fraud from the inside out. We want to change this landscape by accessing the entirety of the Dark Web, its pages, shady storefronts, and treasure troves of Data, and drawing on monitoring toolsets to give our clients a 360-degree resource for identifying adversarial communications and movements. It's all about Internet coverage. Wherever it is difficult to find – that's where your threat will be. A final point to this question is one of sharing tools and techniques. A collaborative approach is always a good way of making sure the wider audience benefits. We always work with our clients and offer other services and support outside of our remit to make sure they're fully protected from a cyber and physical space. What are the biggest security threats for businesses? Security is fundamentally broken because the design of many security solutions does not design for the human psyche. Security solutions are bolted on, clunky, and hard to use but because security teams prioritise defending against easier cyber threats, they often don't focus on the hardware side. The biggest risk to companies and individuals is always defined by the Data that is most important to you or to the business. For individuals, this might be privacy or identity. For businesses, this could be customer Data, intellectual property, and the company's money in the bank. The reality is that business executives can't outspend the (cybersecurity) issue and they must be prepared. Cybersecurity no longer exists in a vacuum and it must be elevated to the conversations held in the boardroom and with senior leadership as well as entire divisions, departments, and organisations. For someone trying to get into security analytics, what skills do you think are key to being successful in the industry? The detail is in the name of the role. A huge ability to interpret large amounts of technical Data is key to the role, as well as being able to assimilate what it means and how to action it. Risk management is also key to this role. Very often you will identify potential risks and you will have to triage those priorities on your own as co-workers won't have the technical expertise to assist. You will need to be able to communicate successfully to all levels of a workforce and last but by no means least – a good sense of humour! When you think you have gotten to understand a new threat or vulnerability a new one will replace it within seconds. Time to put the kettle on, smile, and get back to work with your analytical prowess. Within fraud, it's well known that criminals are sharing their approaches, is this mirrored in cyber-security and if so, how is the industry combating this? Criminal collaboration is huge on the web. First of all, there is no talent shortage for fraud rings or cybercriminals. There are no requirements for fancy university degrees or certifications and the crime ring pays for performance. They don't care what you look like, how you dress, or if you clock in during normal work hours. They care about getting the job done - hacking into and stealing information from others. Together they are sadly stronger and more effective. On Dark Web forums, you will see fraudsters sharing and selling their 'IP' knowing that others will also contribute. That way they are all winners. In the private world ideas equal money. That is of course not a bad thing for business, but it is bad for collaboration. Businesses generally don't like to share ideas with one another because it has taken them lots of time and expense to get to their product or solution. As cliché as this comment sounds - we have to change this landscape for the greater good. There are lots of smart government initiatives for national defences in cyber security and fighting high-end cyber-crime but seldom does this have a positive impact locally with smaller businesses. There is a huge amount of information out there for individuals and advice, but we need to bridge the gap still between criminal collaboration and that of the good guys. If you could change one thing in the industry, what would it be? The mind set of security professionals that humans are the weakest link. We're not! Humans are at risk because technology is by design, open. I'd also change the mind set of those not in the Cyber Security industry. All too often the severity of what is being reported is not taken seriously, nor are budgets set aside for cyber security issues. That said, it is improving but there is a long way to go.

The phrase Campaign Analyst means many things to many people. A quick Google search alone turns up a variety of titles and job descriptions, united by one common thread; creating merit through customer value, metrics, and consumer insight. As a rule, Campaign Analysts have become more and more important in every forward-thinking business over the past few years, particularly in B2B marketing departments. But what are the big trends we should expect to see over the next year or so? Recapping the role Campaign Analysts are the go-to resource for everyone from staff to stakeholders, acting as advisor in regard to digital campaigns segmentation and analytical needs, and utilising their comprehensive knowledge and understanding of customer Data. They are often the bridge across departmental teams and help provide a big picture scope, while also diving into the details of customer and marketing insights to achieve actionable results. As an overview, they: Develop guidelines and build Database procedures to evaluate individual, multi-and omnichannel testing methodologies. Mine Data and reach out to customer segments for query Data.Identify areas of improvement for campaign organisation.Provide critical support to campaigns, from conception to implementation, with the ability to translate marketing plans into production-ready endeavours. Is it time for a Data Health Check? Though Data & Analytics have played a big role in retail over the last few years, Marketing departments have often lagged a bit behind. However, they're beginning to catch up. In 2018, a Dun & Bradstreet survey showed over 60 percent of B2B companies thought Data quality was extremely important. In 2019, the same rings true. But, as things develop even further, here are a few things to consider in your Marketing Data ecosystems: Updating your company's customer Data health – Eliminate duplicate records, make sure customer information is accurate and up-to-date, and make sure your segmentations still make sense. Have decision makers for targeted campaigns changed or moved on? Are email addresses and phone numbers still valid? Keeping your customer Data up-to-date ensures you're not analysing invalid Data. Creating a more focused Data-Driven approach with Marketing ROI – Assess and evaluate spending and revenue with a lens on Marketing channel variety. What's working? What isn't? Where can you cut costs while increasing market-generated revenue?Micro-segmenting your targeting efforts – Go deeper in your targeted Marketing efforts. Narrow your Data parameters. The more layers you add, the more targeted you can focus your messaging, and the more likely you are to reach the best audience for your business.Utilising video Marketing – Much like boosting your resume with video, the same can be said for targeted Marketing campaigns. As a Campaign Analyst, you'll need to work with departments across the business to create a unified Content Marketing Strategy and video remains a crucial format according to a LinkedIn study. And on that note… Pressing play on video The bland days of corporate speak, restrictive tone, and limited colour in video Marketing are a thing of the past. Video is now a crucial Marketing and engagement tool, providing the opportunity to engage with customers in almost real-time. With this, customers feel heard and can help transform a product as well as gain trust in the business itself. From GDPR to fake news to Data breaches, it's highly important for businesses to provide transparency in their interactions and video helps them do that. By being transparent and acknowledging mistakes, business can both gain consumer trust and improve upon their mistakes.. In addition, customer's no longer feel like voices in a canyon; they are part of the business and therefore more invested in the company's success. Additionally, this can expand your reach, allowing you discover what a broader range of customers think. If we want a recommendation for a good restaurant, a doctor, or some other place or service, we turn first to our friends. And in the era of social media, our friends are everywhere. What better way to reach out to your target audience than by video with authentic customer reviews and testimonials? A well-developed strategy leads to happy customers and their goodwill is, ultimately, free Marketing. If you're looking for your next Campaign Analyst opportunity, we may have a role for you. Check out our latest roles or get in touch with one of our specialist consultants.

China will be the number one influence on the world cotton market this year, and will continue to gain market share in cotton-consuming countries. That's the prediction of William Dunavant, the world's leading cotton merchant, who spoke at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences at Nashville.
"They will be the major player in the U.S. and the world in purchasing cotton," he says.
"I would caution other cotton-consuming countries to be aware that China is going to try and take their customers. They will continue to put pressure on Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and other developed countries, and will also exert pressure on developing countries such as Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan."
China today has better technology than other developing countries," Dunavant says, "and I think over the next three years their cotton consumption can go from this year's projected 17 million bales to 29 million. We're projecting a 2.5 percent increase in consumption each year through the 2005-06 crop year. The numbers speak for themselves."
It now appears that China's cotton purchases this year will be higher than originally projected. "We thought they would buy in the world 2 million bales, with 1.2 million of that from the U.S. Through the first week of January, they had already bought 700,000 bales from the U.S. and we're now projecting that they'll buy 1.6 million this marketing year. They've been more aggressive in purchasing coarse-count styles of cotton because the U.S. price in December was cheaper than their domestic price."
China has announced an import quota of 3.9 million bales for 2003, Dunavant says, but "they won't import the full quota, and will monitor their quotas with regulations. They will, in my opinion, place some roadblocks to purchases, as they have always done, until they really need the cotton."
Mexico and Turkey will be the other two major importers of U.S. cotton this season, he says, with Mexico projected to take 1.95 million bales — "of which 1.93 (million) will be due to the North American Free Trade Agreement and price." They've already bought 1.95 million bales from the U.S., Dunavant points out, so "their purchases will exceed my projected number, but it won't all be shipped in this marketing year."
Until recently, Turkey has concentrated on buying its own cotton, he says, "but recently they've started buying other growths, particularly U.S." They imported 1.53 million bales from the U.S. last season and are projected to buy 1.3 million this season, but "they will need to become more aggressive buyers in the weeks ahead to meet our numbers," he says.
India and Pakistan are expected to buy U.S. cotton in the weeks ahead. "Pakistan has already bought a nice volume of Pima cotton from California, but very little upland. India is expected to buy 1.8 million bales in the world market, but mostly from other countries than the U.S.
Australia's crop this year was "a disaster," Dunavant says, the result of the worst drought in 100 years. "Last season, they produced 3.25 million bales of excellent quality cotton; this season, we're projecting their production at 1.6 million."

For those of you who don't know it, a "mitzvah," in Hebrew, means a good deed. I've always loved the word, and I have a friend who calls me "Mitzvah Queen," a title I am proud to have. The recipe for my holiday Mitzvah Cookies began in early December on Facebook, of all places. I had posted an update about a program I ran at Spring Mill Presbyterian Village, a retirement community in Lafayette Hill, titled "Recipes of Love."
During the workshop, each woman shared a recipe and the story that went with it. I shared an eggplant dip recipe that my late mother-in-law typically made as part of her lovely Sunday brunches. I told these women how this loving Jewish mother didn't care that I was raised Catholic; she only cared "that I made her son happy." I told them how Anne Shapiro taught me the fine art of bringing family and friends together. I shared a tear in the remembering.
Later that night, I posted a brief update about the program on the web, and my former roommate of more than 25 years ago, living in Florida for the past dozen or so years, responded within minutes. She told me that she had been experimenting with her mother's (Rosemary Casner's) famous "Kiffle" cookie recipe. (Kiffles are an Eastern European pastry dough rolled paper-thin by hand and filled with assorted sweet fillings. They are pronounced "kee-flees." The word means "a kiss on the forehead followed by a hug.")
The Kiffles sounded divine, and I asked for a copy of the recipe. Three days later, I was pleasantly surprised to find the recipe — along with a full page of handwritten notes, diagrams and detailed instructions — in the mail. I couldn't wait to make Mrs. Casner's Kiffles. But there was one small problem; our oven was on the blink. It needs a small part that is no longer manufactured, so I needed to find an oven.
The recipe had come on a Thursday, just before a memorial service for a female neighbor, Jackie McKeon, who had passed away three weeks earlier. I was bringing soups and jams to her husband of nearly 60 years, Harry, keeping an eye on him, and visited with the grieving family on the evening after the service. The widower and his son, daughter-in-law and a family friend were playing bridge — a good diversion for sure.
I didn't want to interrupt their game, but I made a proposition. Tentatively I eyed their double-oven and asked if I could use them the next afternoon in exchange for leaving half of the prized Kiffles behind and cleaning up after myself. I boasted about Mrs. Casner's famous recipe and how she had made thousands of the sugary treats over the years.
I did not tell them that I had never made them before. They eagerly agreed to the oven-for-cookies exchange and the diversion it would bring. The next afternoon, I entered their Flourtown home, unpacking my radio, pre-made dough, cooking supplies and donning a colorful apron.
"One of the key ingredients to a good Kiffle is playing Christmas music," I told them as I plugged in my little radio and took over the kitchen. While I rolled the cookie dough out and prepared to put the filling in, we told stories and listened to the music. While the stories were being told, I realized that my dough wasn't rolling out properly; it was all crumbly and not sticking together in little balls. My Kiffle cookies looked nothing like the diagram. I checked and re-checked the recipe.
Where had I gone wrong? Still, I worked with the dough and told them a story about how I heard their loved one's laugh in a crowded restaurant two hours from my home while having lunch with my mom. I knew that this couple had a vacation home at the shore not far from the packed eatery, and I went on to tell them how I actually walked through the restaurant to confirm that it was my neighbor, their loved one, Jackie, laughing — and indeed it was. That had been more than a dozen years ago, yet when I told my mom that a neighbor had died, she responded, "You mean the lady with the laugh?"
"Yes," I said, "the lady with the laugh."
This opened up a tin full of warm Kiffles as they each shared stories about family trips, good times at the beach and Jackie's famous meals. We turned the music up a notch and otherwise unplugged for an afternoon of pleasantries and Kiffles. But the cookies didn't turn out so well — not as well as Mrs. Casner's, I suspect. Still, they were possibly the best batch of cookies I had ever made or may ever make again. They had gotten me to visit with neighbors for over two hours; to turn Christmas music on that likely wouldn't have been turned on; and the Kiffle experience created another page in a chapter of "Recipes of Love."
As I was packing up, Jackie's husband, Harry, gave me a Thanksgiving apron that hadn't been used, and he suggested that I put it to good use. I told him that Jackie's spirit would live on in my cooking — but not necessarily my baking. We all had a good laugh.
About an hour later, my husband and I took a batch of my Kiffles to some friends who had a house full of family and friends over to welcome a new baby into their Jewish family. I congratulated the new grandmom and handed over the cookie tin.
"Oh, Christmas cookies. Thank you," she said.
"No," I corrected. "I brought you 'Mitzvah Cookies' that are still hot from the oven."
"Mitzvah Cookies," said one of the guests. "I never heard of them. How do you make them?"
While sitting next to a cooing baby, I told them how I mixed up some sugar, eggs, butter, flour and a little bit of love and memories on an otherwise dreary wintry afternoon. I shared what I remembered of the actual recipe and added that the key to a good Kiffle was not to worry about the dough, but to turn up the music, share some stories and create your own Recipes of Love.

About: I build products which solve real world problems. Have a pi not being used? If you don't know already, Bitcoin is a virtual currency set up in 2009. Bitcoin has grown in reputation over the past few years becoming a very set up bitcoin as a method to pay for services over the internet.
The value has rocketed recently thanks to the huge coverage in the media, for both positive and negative reasons. Buying them from an exchange, which is the process of converting local currency to Bitcoin. Mining is the process of verifying transactions in the blockchain. As the whole of the Bitcoin system is decentralised, every transaction is publically viewable within what is called the blockchain. This is the job of the miners. A wallet is a program that sits on your computer and gives you a wallet address, this is a unique string of numbers and letters that you will use to receive bitcoins.
After installation, you will have to save a file called wallet. If you lose this file, you cannot recover any bitcoins it contained. Create a Pool Account Once you have a wallet address, create a pool account. A pool is a huge collection of other people working towards gaining bitcoins. Working as a group, or pool, lets everyone have a chance of earning some Bitcoin. Once you have created a pool account, you'll need to enter your unique wallet address into the Bitcoin payout address.
Next step is to create a worker login account. Within your pool account you have the ability to create something called a worker for each of your bitcoin miners, so you're able to monitor them all separately just in case one should fail. Each worker has its own login name and password. Now you're ready to set your Raspberry Pi mining for Bitcoin.

I read here and there that someone has beaten thus and such scenario or has beaten level whatever. Is this different than finished? Is there a specific set of conditions to be met in order to beat a scenario?
That is, you have to go from beginning to end
in one session without dying, or
in one session but you can die and continue a saved game, or
in several sessions without dying, but you can save a game, so you can go to school or to work, then continue it later, or
just simply go from beginning to end in as many sessions and dying as many times as it takes.
As an example, I went from beginning to end of Durandal on TC, but it took several months and I died many times, though less often as the game progressed.
Did I beat the scenario; finish the scenario; or demonstrate that I don't have a life?
Actually, I think that playing Marathon is as valid an activity as anything else people do for entertainment.

CASTLETON — In the end, nobody could stop the South Burlington High School girls' lacrosse powerhouse this spring.
On Saturday at Castleton State College, the top-seeded Rebels capped off their 16-0 season with a 14-7 victory over No. 2 Middlebury, their third straight title-game victory over the Tigers, all at Spartan Stadium.
MIDDLEBURY —The No. 2 Middlebury Union High School girls' lacrosse team on Friday scored four times in the final 4:16 of the first half on the way to a rain-soaked, 14-7 Division I quarterfinal victory over No. 7 Mount Mansfield.
The Tigers will be seeking yet another berth in a D-I final when they host No. 3 Mount Anthony (13-6) on Tuesday at 4 p.m., with two-time defending champion South Burlington almost certainly awaiting the winner at Castleton State College on Friday. The 14-0 Rebels will host No. 4 Brattleboro (9-7) in Tuesday's other semifinal.
MIDDLEBURY –– The No. 2 Middlebury Union High School girls' lacrosse team defeated visiting third-seeded Rutland 13-9 in a Division I semifinal Tuesday.
The Tigers will be making their third straight trip to the D-I final and fifth in six years when they face No. 1 South Burlington at Castleton State College on Friday at 7:30 p.m. That game will be a rematch of the 2011 final, won by the Rebels.
Middlebury scored first. A draw control by Emily Kiernan led to a goal by Brandi Whittemore set up by Chrissy Ritter 30 seconds into the game.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School girls' lacrosse team started and finished strong against visiting Burr & Burton on Monday, but in between had to stem a Bulldog rally to win, 18-11.
The 7-1 Tigers remained in first place in Division I heading into games at Champlain Valley (5-2) on Wednesday and at home vs. rival South Burlington (5-1) on Saturday at 11 a.m.
Saturday will bring a rematch of the 2011 D-I final, won by the Rebels, and an April 17 game at SBHS, won by the Tigers in overtime.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School girls' lacrosse team had little trouble with a longtime rival on Friday, when the Tigers thumped Mount Anthony, 18-5.
Nine Tigers scored, led by sophomore middie Emily Robinson's five goals, as MUHS improved to 2-1.
The Tigers' only loss has come to a 4-1 Rutland team in their opener, and in that 10-8 road setback MUHS played without senior standout midfielders Chrissy Ritter and Brandi Whittemore.
VERGENNES — On Monday, for the first time since 2010 the members of the Vergennes Union High School boys' lacrosse team walked off the field with a victory.
The Commodores led a shorthanded visiting Otter Valley team at the half, 3-0, and then erupted for eight third-quarter goals in a 12-1 victory in their season opener.
Junior attackman Joe Krayewsky sparked VUHS with eight goals, but said the win was the product of a team-wide effort to bounce back from two seasons of frustration: VUHS was 1-14 in 2010 before 2011's winless campaign.
MIDDLEBURY — The top-seeded Middlebury Union High School girls' lacrosse team scored the final five goals of Tuesday's Division II semifinal to turn back a challenge from No. 4 Mount Mansfield, 15-10.
To no one's surprise, the 13-2 Tigers will meet No. 2 South Burlington in the D-II final. In Tuesday's other semifinal, the Rebels turned aside No. 3 Rutland, 17-12.
