Mosquito Control
No one wants to deal with a mosquito bite, whether you're out camping or out in your backyard. Aside from the inconvenience and itching, there are several reasons to control mosquitoes that are swarming on your property. One of the most important considerations when it comes to mosquito control is the fact that mosquitoes can cause diseases such as malaria and yellow fever, which can be dangerous for your entire family. While it can be a nuisance, there are things you can do to remove them from your home and lawn.
Tips to Controlling Mosquitoes
Aside from killing the errant mosquito that lands on you, there's more that goes into long lasting mosquito control, and one thing to consider is their breeding habits. Mosquitoes like breeding on still and stagnant water. So if you've got stagnant water at all on your property, you'll need to work on removing it or preventing mosquitoes from breeding there.
Common places susceptible to mosquito breeding include garden ponds, retention ponds, wetlands, blocked gutters, birdbaths, and creeks. The first step in dealing with these bodies of stagnant water is to identify the ones on your property. To solve the problem, either get rid of the water completely, or regularly move and change the water. This prevents mosquitoes from being able to successfully lay and hatch eggs.
Mosquito Exterminator
Mosquito control exterminators employ professionals qualified to offer mosquito removal services. Exterminators are trained to eliminate mosquitoes using methods that work quickly and effectively. They also understand the different removal methods depending on the location and life cycle of the mosquitoes, which is an important consideration.
If you're serious about mosquito control on your property, hire a specialist that can come in and help you eliminate them for good. It's better to invest in an expert that can guarantee results, than to try on your own and end up with further problems down the road. In the end it will save you both time and money. Additionally, they'll be able to ensure the right chemicals are used to get the job done, which is an important consideration when thinking about your children and pets having access to areas where you're implementing mosquito control Kenmore WA .

I'm all for great benefits. However, I think money wins over benefits. We need a good mix of both, but there's nothing like straight cash! Employers should provide excellent healthcare as a top priority.
This article is a reprint of Wise Bread's contribution to OPEN Forum from American Express -- where small business owners can get advice from experts and share tips with each other.
There exists a constant power struggle between employers (wanting the best bang for their employee-related expenditures) and employees (wanting the best remuneration possible for their blood, sweat and tears). And in lean economic times as these, the gravity of this push-pull battle between employees and employers is multiplied.
If this trend continues, we will have more jaded employees and less loyal employers. But all is not lost. There are many benefits employers can provide to rekindle employee morale, ensure loyalty, and increase productivity. And do it without increasing the employee's tax burden like a straight salary increase would.
Most employee-related expenditures are tax-deductible to the employer anyway, so where the tax-efficiency of these perks comes in is more on the employee side. Often for a relatively small expenditure on the employer's part, the employee can receive something that is far more valuable given the tax-efficiency and sometimes even the status increase.
Here are a few tax-efficient perks your employees will love:
1. Education
When I was an employee, one of the first things I negotiated was how many courses they would pay for each year. It was win-win for everybody: I increased my industry knowledge on my own time, and my employer got a motivated – and increasingly well-educated – employee who didn't actually have to pay out of pocket for the gift of higher education.
Employer Benefits: In addition to the tax-deductibility, you will also have increased employee productivity and applied knowledge.
Employee Benefits: They get a free education, which can be a tax-free benefit.
2. Healthcare
If you have a health insurance program, you could consider beefing up the program for worthy employees by lowering their deductibles, enhancing their benefits, or paying for a larger portion of the coverage. If you don't offer health insurance, it could be something to consider.
Employer Benefits: Healthy employees are away from work less. Also, beefing up your healthcare program might be something you can reap the benefits for yourself.
Employee Benefits: Good healthcare is a valuable asset, especially in the United States where most people get health insurance from their employer.
3. Technology Toys
Blackberries, cell phones, laptops, service plans, and various technological knick-knacks can increase employee productivity, and using some of these gadgets is just plain fun. As long as the employer owns and pays for the item and associated plans fully, the employee should see a taxable benefit (even if they make private calls).
Employer Benefits: Enhanced employee productivity and increased morale for being granted a gadget.
Employee Benefits: They now have toys that enhance their ability to do the job, but which also entail some personal perks.
4. Company Car/Car Allowance
Providing a company car or car allowance is tricky business, as it can be a taxable event to the employee if it is not structured a certain way. But generally speaking, if the company owns the vehicle and pays for ongoing expenses like gas with a company credit or charge card (instead of structuring it as a reimbursement program), this can be a beneficial perk for all.
Employer Benefits: Certain employees will benefit greatly from the use of a car, so a jump in productivity is possible, and you look super generous.
Employee Benefits: Having use of the company car is considered to be one of the most enviable employee perks. Assuming it is structured as a tax-free benefit, it will save the employee loads of after-tax expenditures on the service and upkeep of their own car too.
5. Better Pension/Retirement Account Benefits
This is a fabulous incentive for employees to save money for their future. If you already have a pension/retirement savings program in place, consider increasing the employer contributions, or starting/increasing a matching contributions program.
Employer Benefits: It is an added incentive for employees to stay with the company, rather than jumping ship just based on salary. Additionally, there is something to be said for helping an employee secure their financial future.
Employee Benefits: Any matching program is like getting free money, even if they can't spend it right away. And payroll deductions are one of the easiest ways to save money without feeling the pinch.
6. Parking
In busy urban office locations, paying for parking can be an expensive proposition. And although I'd like to encourage people to find alternate ways of getting to work (especially if they don't already carpool), I realize I'm fighting an uphill battle fraught with impracticality. So provide a benefit and pay for that parking spot!
Employer Benefits: As a cost of doing business, these parking spots don't even need to be linked to the recipient employee on the books. It also makes the employee feel special (especially if you have a placard with their name on the spot).
Employee Benefits: First of all, it's free parking (which can amount to savings of hundreds of dollars a month). Secondly, imagine the lack of stress they will feel if they don't have to search and fight for a parking spot every time they go to work.
7. Employee Bus/Public Transportation Subsidy
Subsidizing or providing public transportation passes, or even putting a private bus on the road to collect and drop off employees each day is a great way to reduce the number of cars on the road and provide a tangible benefit.
Employer Benefits: Your employees will have no excuse for being late, especially if you put that bus on the road yourself! Otherwise, subsidizing public transportation costs encourages employees to leave their cars at home, cutting greenhouse emissions and reducing the number of parking spaces you need to provide!
Employee Benefits: Not having to pay for commute can be a hefty savings, depending on the city they live in.
8. Bicycle Loans
This is a hot trend in the UK: employers are giving (or rather, loaning) bicycles to employees to get to and from work.
Employer Benefits: This (like the above option) reduces negative environmental consumption, and gets employees exercising more – a proven productivity-enhancer.
Employee Benefits: As a free way to get to work, it is also a great workout, and reduces negative environmental impacts.
9. Home Office
For workplaces that encourage flex hours and telecommuting, you can pay for what is required to outfit your employee for remote work. We have already touched upon the technological toys; in addition to that would be the provision of ergonomic office furniture, as well as coverage of a proportionate share of the household expenses like heating and insurance.
Employer Benefits: Telecommuting and flex hours can increase employee productivity. And if you don't need to keep a dedicated office space free for them, you can save money by leasing a smaller office space.
Employee Benefits: They now have the ability to work flex hours with all the equipment at home to do a decent job. Having additional household expenses subsidized is also a great reduction of after-tax expenditures.

I'm all for great benefits. However, I think money wins over benefits. We need a good mix of both, but there's nothing like straight cash! Employers should provide excellent healthcare as a top priority.
Here in Silicon Valley virtually all companies offer these items; large companies because they can, and small companies (even most startups) because they need to compete for talent. In keeping with the operating mode of most companies here, these are usually available to all employees, not just a select group; with car allowance pretty much only to the "Field sales" people.

A glimpse into the elsewhere
Recounted by an anarchist who ventured there for a moment in December 2008
From the moment that 14 year old Alexis Grigoropoulos was gunned down by a patrolling policeman on December 6 2008, the morphology of Greece's capital city and many others, both on the mainland and in many of the islands, changed. The force of the people's anger against the State and its paid killers expressed itself with limpid clarity: Athens, a European metropolis, had no cop station left untouched, no bank left functioning. Huge stores, banks and public buildings were gutted by fire and hundreds of luxury cars and car showrooms went up in flames, as the streets were blocked off with flaming barricades and hundreds of police in riot gear were forced to run away from the rebels.
It is impossible to render what happened over there in words, because what took place was a social rebellion, where the outward face of capitalist society came under assault by massive numbers of disparate people, acting as one.
Anarchists who had been in the thick of the rebellion around the Polytechnic in Athens were visibly overwhelmed. Stunned by the events, their eyes shining with passion and wonder, they were the first to admit that they had lived moments that they had never imagined even in their wildest dreams, and which had completely surpassed them.
Many words have been written about these days, beautiful words, reproduced and diffused in many languages. But it seemed that something was missing...
This candid account (transcribed as spoken) by an anarchist comrade who suddenly found himself acting in a completely different terrain to that with which he was familiar, and the fears and questions that this awakened in him, is a valuable testimony that opens up many questions for all anarchists. J.W.
* * * * *
The evening of December 6 2008 I was at home preparing for one of my usual Saturday nights. Then a friend called me on the phone telling me that something very bad had happened, cops in Exarchia had killed somebody. I made some phone calls, some of my friends didn't know and some had already heard. Like them, we immediately went to the Polytechnic school. It took a little time before clashes began around it. After some hours some of my comrades and I decided to carry out an attack on a police station in the centre of Athens. It was important for us to do this at that time. We made an appointment in a busy area of Athens where we could be hidden inside the crowd after the attack. As a friend and I were walking towards the place of the appointment we encountered a spontaneous demo of a few hundred leftist people who are not normally seen clashing with the police, ready to attack. The head of the demo stopped to ask us what was going on at the Polytechnic because they wanted to go there. We told them that it might be difficult as there were some police units around, then left, each in their own direction. I was struck by the look in their eyes, something very strange for them, because I know them well. It was anger and a readiness to clash with the police, not just anger but the urgency to clash with the police. These guys are people that usually fight with the anarchists on the issue of clashing or not clashing with the police, always in favour of the latter. The look on their faces was in contradiction with their whole appearance as Greek leftist students with their carefully trimmed beards and spectacles.
We went to the appointment. We were about 100 people, which is not the usual number for a group that wants to attack a police station. It would normally be 12 to 20. We attacked the police station with molotovs and stones. We didn't do all that much real damage as it was a spontaneous action and not well planned. We continued by smashing and burning luxury shops and chain stores before returning to the crowded area we started off from.
I went back to the Polytechnic school where clashes with police were continuing and someone called me from the law school telling me that there were also clashes there. The leftists we had met before had obviously ended up there. I remember that when I was on the road from to the Polytechnic, despite the fact that there were clashes around, we didn't feel the sense of fear and anxiety one normally has in such situations.
At the school of law there were also clashes with the police but I think that there was a different sense. The attacks on the police were maybe more amateur than at the Polytechnic but definitively this was more a mass situation. Even the insults exchanged with the police were different, more sophisticated.
A few hours later I returned to the Polytechnic and tried to get some sleep as it was nearly morning. I didn't manage to sleep of course and I think that it was at that moment that I began to realise what had actually happened with this young comrade who had been shot. At that moment the human tragedy that had occurred suddenly hit me and I cried. Eventually I managed to doze off for a couple of hours and when I woke up, because of all these thoughts, I was even angrier than before.
Sunday's demo saw several thousand people and we began to move up Alexandras Avenue towards the police headquarters of Athens. Very soon clashes began and as always many shops and banks were set on fire.
The clashes with the police that day were very hard, we exchanged an unimaginable hail of stones with the police and they discharged huge amounts of teargas upon us. The anger and lack of sleep had left me totally out of control. I was wounded by a stone and ended up in hospital for some stitches. The friend who had come with me to the hospital phoned me later telling me that there were a lot of clashes around Athens in some normal areas as well as around the school of economics and other schools.
Next day, Monday, I didn't go to work. A friend called me on the phone to tell me that some school pupils had attacked the police headquarters of Pireus, the port of Athens. Later I heard that there had been another attack in Pireus against a police station and from that moment I began to receive information about many attacks on police stations in very ordinary parts of Athens and all over Greece. Even then I had not realised what was going on. I met my father some time later and he had seen the attack on the police headquarters of Pireus while at work. He told me laughing that the pupils had overturned the police cars and smashed the facade of the building and there were ordinary people around clapping their hands.
Like some of my friends, I was considering not going on the afternoon demo, thinking that nothing much would happen there. I decided to go at the last moment and arrived just a few minutes before it began. When I came out of the metro station I saw a huge crowd, thousands of people, tens of thousands, some say between 30 and 40 thousand. There was already a burning barricade in a side street, and some young people were clashing with a police unit. As soon as the demo began—but rather than a demo, it was a crowd, a great mass of angry people—some people began to smash and loot the shops, any shops. At first some people tried to stop them but very soon the situation was chaotic with buildings, shops, everything set on fire, even a big hotel which was something that made me feel very scared, thinking there would be people trapped inside.
Despite the fact that I'm used to violent events, and not as an observer, all that was happening all of a sudden was not quite compatible with my anarchist mentality. The people around me were totally unknown, again something that was unusual for me.
When I reached Omonia Square right in the centre of Athens, many people were trying to set fire to a very central prestigious building of the national bank of Greece where a woman was trapped inside. Other people were moving towards Omonia police station to attack it, everything burning and being looted all around us. I met two women anarchist comrades that I don't know very well. But we were the only people who knew each other there and they asked me what I suggested doing because, as they told me, they were not sure if they really wanted to be there. I told them that I couldn't answer because I felt the same way.
As the chaos continued a police unit attacked the crowd very aggressively from one side, discharging a lot of teargas, while leftwing people were desperately trying to retain a sense of demo amidst this chaos. At that moment the crowd was trapped in a thick cloud of gas, the situation was very dangerous. Thankfully the crowd managed to spread out and disperse and I, on reaching Syntagma square, found other masses of people going in different directions in crowds. Then some demonstrators set fire to the huge Christmas tree in the big square in front of the Greek parliament. From this moment, because of this incident, the slogan 'Christmas has been cancelled this year' was born and the image of the burning tree has gone around the world giving joy to many. But at that precise moment I felt the same fear that I felt when I saw huge buildings burning, some with people inside them. The fear wasn't for my personal security but, as I see myself as part of the Greek anarchist movement, I was afraid that after all this it might be impossible to be an anarchist in Greece as I was before, that the movement couldn't bear the weight of what might happen.
In Syntagma square some police units tried to regain control of the situation, attacking the mass and trying to arrest people. I saw a young girl being arrested, I ran towards the police unit not knowing exactly what I wanted to do, and then I realised that I was almost rounded up by another police unit running towards me. I saw a few other people behind me doing the same thing. Thankfully I managed to run through the police unit as did the others behind me, except perhaps one that I couldn't do anything about.
Later I found a friend of mine and we decided to go towards the School of Law which was close to us and we knew that there were some riots around it. The burning and smashing hadn't stopped around the city centre. We went to the School of Law where opposite a large historic building was up in flames. Later on we learned was the library of the School of Law. The size of the fire was so great that it was terrifying. It was not the only building in Athens in this situation. Going up on to the roof of the School of Law we saw the smoke of all the buildings that were burning in the centre of Athens. The fires had created a great glow, like a livid sunset over the city. We suddenly heard a very loud noise coming from the burning building opposite - maybe a part of its roof had collapsed.
A friend called me from the Polytechnic. He's a comrade who is always very eager to be involved in riots and burning. He told me that there were so many riots around the Polytechnic that he was tired, and that I could not imagine what was going on there. I went later to the Polytechnic, the riots had calmed down but everything around had been burned and looted. A five-storey building near the school had been burnt to the ground.
I found a very good friend and comrade at the side entrance to the Polytechnic. I noticed that he was completely alone, sitting staring into space. He told me that he was very disappointed that he had lost the demo; I replied that I was not so sure that he would really have liked to have been there. He asked me why and I told him that they had burnt and destroyed things like the Law School library and that the situation was totally out of control. He told me that the same happened there and that he and some of his comrades had tried to prevent people from looting shops, which they saw as out of the context of the reason for the anger, the murder of a young boy in Exarchia.
Then I saw and heard something very strong that was to repeat itself constantly over the days to come: young people gathered behind a barricade of burnt cars screaming slogans at the police, using the burnt-out cars as drums. I saw an amazing image of a guy standing on top of a car in front of a big fire, arms and legs open, his silhouette etched by the flames.
From that day on the people who came to the Polytechnic were not exactly anarchists but young and very young people, a lot of them immigrants, some junkies and also some 'emo' kids maybe from the better-off areas of Athens, a mixture that had also been present in the demo earlier.
Over recent years the road outside the Polytechnic has been the scene of many street battles with the riot police. For the first two days following Alexi's murder those fighting were still mainly anarchists, possibly in the widest sense, but still anarchists or at least people of the antagonist movement. Many, many comrades who until these days had never lifted a stone were involved in fighting the police. Leftists whose negative attitude towards riots or clashes with the police had until then monopolised our encounters with them were in many cases involved, and sometimes passionately, in the clashes.
On Monday, the third day, this changed. A mixture of young people but also many other people impossible to categorise became the driving force. Many anarchists were embarrassed by this situation. The violence that these people were releasing surpassed the limits of the mainstream anarchist mentality. These limits were faithfully adhered to by the school of economics occupation close by, predominantly occupied by anarchists without the presence of the 'rabble'. In fact, the Polytechnic came to be referred to as 'Bagdad', whereas the ASOEE (school of Economics) was 'Switzerland'.
The ASOEE became the centre of many discussions and also actions which also gave ideas for the publishing of a lot of stuff. In my opinion, all these discussions, actions and published stuff remained within the limits of the typical anarchist mentality - maybe in a wider and improved sense, but always inside these limits, determined by the character of the crowd that was gathering in the ASOEE, which was an anarchist, or in the wider sense a movement-involved crowd at the time when in the Polytechnic school something different and new was happening.
The Polytechnic school was a place where a mass of many different people gathered: very young people, school students, some 'emo' style maybe from wealthier families, simultaneously with first and second generation immigrants, many of whom didn't speak Greek, many people who couldn't be specifically catgorised, and inside this confusion of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people there was a minority of anarchists desperately trying to retain some political character in the occupation.
In ASOEE there were some stories going around about dealings - drugs - or comrades who were violently trying to prevent looting in the surrounding area. These stories may or may not have been true, or were exaggerated, but they are characteristic of the image that people in ASOEE had of the Polytechnic school.
It has been common for riots or violent clashes to take place outside the Polytechnic from 1973 onwards, since the insurrection on Nov 17. If something very important happens, it's to be expected that everybody will go there, but it's not so common to go to ASOEE. Maybe the fact that so many anarchists went to ASOEE indicates the unwillingness of the main body of the Greek anarchist movement to be involved with this 'rabble'. In my opinion, this also shows our inability to surpass our limits and to be able to adjust to an unknown and unpredictable situation.
This situation in the occupied schools lasted from the 6th of December until the Christmas holidays. In a way, Christmas had come to be seen as a kind of closure, not only due to some clear fall in the level of the situation, but also as a kind of expectation from the main body of anarchists, particularly in the ASOEE.
What happened to all those people that we the anarchists encountered all these days of December? Some of the Greek students were incorporated into the main body of the anarchists, but all the others, immigrants, 'scum', or just masses of uncategorised people simply vanished into urban anonymity. We didn't see them, or maybe we didn't want to see them, again.
For many anarchists December was a success in quantitative terms.
For a few, it opened up a glimpse into the elsewhere.
Maybe these days revealed our incapacity to encounter new possibilities.

Public Appeal from Jimmy Whales
No no no, not the founder of Wikipedia, this is a public appeal from an actual whale named Jimmy. He lives in the ocean and eats krill and he really wants to make sure you don't miss out on JoCo Cruise Crazy. Here's what he looks like.
This is to let you know that we're getting down to our last few reserved cabins. We've been shuffling things around to keep as wide a distribution of cabin types as possible, but the ship itself is getting pretty full, and many stateroom categories are completely sold out. After December 6th we're going to have to stop shuffling and begin to either sell through or give back all our rooms. So if you've been on the fence about going, or if you have friends who are dillying and dallying, now is a good time to pull the trigger. Not to say that nobody can book after December 6th, just that we'll have a lot less flexibility than we do now.
This is also the time when I personally stop worrying about all the things I need to do to make the cruise happen and start to just look forward to it in a big way. We've got the last minute addition of John Flansburgh (who will be DJing a couple of dance parties for us), plus the already superbad array of fantastic performers and fun people. For the record, the complete list includes me, Paul and Storm, John Hodgman, Wil Wheaton, Vi Hart, John Roderick, MC Frontalot, Marian Call, David Rees, Paul F. Tompkins, and DJ John Flansburgh. We will have fruity cocktails together. We will all get horribly sunburned. We will wear fake mustaches. We will order club sandwiches delivered to our staterooms at 2 in the morning and it will cost us nothing.
So if you like those things and don't want to make Jimmy Whales cry (because everyone knows, whales and sea creatures in general LOVE cruise ships), then book now.

You may have seen this at Poppytalk yesterday. This is the new 'end grain block' floor that we have in the workshop at the studio. Doug completed it this past weekend and I've been dying to share it with you. More details after the pictures!
As part of our ongoing project to update the Cartolina studio we decided that we needed a workshop.
Doug built an addition onto the studio and decided to finish the floor using 'end grain block flooring'. It's actually a really old style of flooring that was commonly used on factory floors in the 19th century.
We had some leftover beam ends in the shed from a previous project - kiln dried fir- and he set to work, slicing them up into 3" x 7" blocks, about 3/4 inches thick. It took him quite a long time to slice up all the blocks and sand the edges.
Once he had prepared 850 blocks he glued them to the plywood floor using a non water based, flexible flooring adhesive.
It was back breaking work(so he tells me!) As soon as it was dry he applied a coat of Watco oil stain and 2 coats of oil based clear finish. The results are spectacular. It has the look of cobble stones but with a rustic and warm feel. And best of all, it only cost the price of the glue and the finish!

ExCom: UNHCR official says criminalizing search for asylum is no answer
ExCom: UNHCR official says criminalizing search for asylum is no answer
GENEVA, October 6 (UNHCR) - The UN refugee agency's top protection official on Wednesday told delegates to the annual meeting of UNHCR's governing body that criminalizing the search for asylum was not a solution.
Assistant High Commissioner for Protection Erika Feller, in her annual address to the Executive Committee (ExCom) in Geneva, warned that such an approach "has serious protection consequences for refugees and breeds its own secondary problems for states, including racism and xenophobia."
According to Feller, asylum-seekers suffer hardship in detention on every continent. "It has reached the point in some countries where there are actually more due process safeguards regulating detention of criminals than of asylum-seekers, the very large majority of whom have committed no crime."
Feller told ExCom members that while progress had been made in some areas over the past decade, "the world for many millions remains a very insecure place." Sadly, she said, "UN Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security is still honoured more in the breach than in the practice."
Noting that hazard is "in many situations an ever present, proximate and lethal threat," Feller told the gathering about a pregnant Somali woman who was forced to return to Mogadishu with her nine-year-old son. A few weeks after arriving back in the beleaguered Somali capital, the woman was permanently incapacitated in a mortar attack that left her son seriously injured and her newborn child dead.
Looking back over the past decade as UNHCR nears its 60th anniversary in December, the Assistant High Commissioner said she had witnessed some positive developments. She cited progress in seemingly intractable situations, noting that the internal displacement in northern Uganda has found some level of resolution with 1.7 million people returning home.
On a global level, she said 24 countries now offer increased numbers of resettlement places, with 84,000 refugees benefitting in 2009. She cautioned that this increase is still "insufficient . . . when measured against need" with the "reality [being] that for every 100 refugees in need of resettlement, only 10 are resettled each year."
Even in areas where the tradition of asylum is a time honoured tradition, Feller noted a deterioration in recent years. She said that border areas have become particularly dangerous with "appalling incidents of kidnappings of migrants, including asylum-seekers, for the purpose of extortion, accompanied by serious human rights abuses, notably rape, torture and murder."
During this week's five-day ExCom meeting, Feller has chosen to focus attention on the issue of strengthening the rule of law to ensure the protection of people of concern to UNHCR. "Many, if not most, refugees return to countries emerging from protracted conflict, where peace is fragile at best," she said, noting the importance of developing functional national protection structures and of housing rights to ensure sustainable return and peaceful reintegration.
According to Feller, "refugee education is everywhere a challenge." She called upon ExCom member states to cover funding shortfalls that would enable access education. "Education is both a human right and a protection issue - children who go to school usually escape recruitment by armed groups, while "girls who drop out of school are often forced into early marriage," she said.
Looking forward to the 50th anniversary of the Reduction of Statelessness Convention in August, Feller called for an increased rate of accession, warning that there is a risk that it could take another 50 years before there could be a truly "global assumption of responsibility to address the problem of statelessness." She cautioned that newly drafted nationality legislation includes "arbitrary deprivation of nationality on the grounds of gender, of national origin or because of disapproved marriages."
Concluding on a positive note, the Assistant High Commissioner said she hoped a ministerial meeting next year to commemorate UNHCR's landmark anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the statelessness convention will lead to "commitments which will enable this organization and its mandate to continue being the difference between life and death, danger and risk, desperation and solutions that it actually represents for millions."

Humans Did Not Wipe Out the Neanderthals, New Research Suggests
Neanderthals went extinct in Europe about 40,000 years ago, giving them millennia to coexist with modern humans culturally and sexually, new findings suggest.
This research also suggests that modern humans did not cause Neanderthals to rapidly go extinct, as some researchers have previously suggested, scientists added.
Neanderthals are the closest extinct relatives of modern humans, and lived in Europe and Asia. Recent findings suggest that Neanderthals were closely related enough to interbreed with ancestors of modern humans — about 1.5 to 2.1 percent of the DNA of anyone outside Africa is Neanderthal in origin.
It has long been uncertain when Neanderthals went extinct, and there has been much debate over whether interactions with modern humans might have driven their disappearance. Neanderthals entered Europe before modern humans did, and prior studies had suggested the last of the Neanderthals held out there on the Iberian Peninsula until about 35,000 years ago, potentially sharing the region with modern humans for millennia. However, more recent findings suggested that some Neanderthal fossils from Europe might be thousands of years older than previously thought, raising the possibility that Neanderthals went extinct before modern humans arrived in Europe starting about 42,000 years ago. [The 10 Biggest Mysteries of the First Humans]
To help solve the mystery of when Neanderthals went extinct, scientists analyzed bone, charcoal and shell materials from 40 archaeological sites from Russia to Spain. They employed advanced techniques for more precise dating of these specimens that involved ultra-filtering molecules from bone samples for examination and removing organic contaminants that could make specimens seem younger than they actually are.
The new findings suggest that Neanderthals disappeared from Europe between about 41,000 and 39,000 years ago.
"I think that, for the first time, we have a reliable extinction date for Neanderthals," said study author Tom Higham, a radiocarbon scientist at the University of Oxford in England. "This has eluded us for decades."

The Neanderthal extinction occurred across sites ranging from the Black Sea to the Atlantic Coast of Europe. The timing and geography suggest Neanderthals may have overlapped with modern humans for 2,600 to 5,400 years, opening the door for genetic and cultural exchanges between the two groups for millennia.
These findings suggest that modern humans did not rapidly replace Neanderthals in Europe — say, via violent means. Rather, the Neanderthal extinction "might have been more complex and drawn out than previously thought," Higham told Live Science.
There is some genetic evidence that Neanderthals in Western Europe may have experienced declining genetic diversity about the time when the first modern humans began arriving on the continent, Higham said. "This might mean that they were fading out at this time, although, of course, our evidence suggests that there was a long period of overlap during which this occurred," he said.
Neanderthals may not even have truly disappeared, but instead have been assimilated into modern human populations. "We know, of course, that we have a genetic legacy from Neanderthals of about 1 to 2 percent, so there was interbreeding," Higham said.
One mystery regarding sex between Neanderthals and modern humans is that the greatest amount of interbreeding between the two lineages is currently thought to have occurred about 77,000 to 114,000 years ago, preceding any potential interbreeding in Europe. However, Higham noted more recent as-yet-unpublished data suggest the interbreeding events occurred about 55,000 to 60,000 years ago, more in tune with interbreeding scenarios involving Europe. "What is needed is more genetic analysis of human bone from this transitional period in Europe," Higham said.
In the future, the researchers plan to extend their work into Eastern Europe and wider Eurasia to widen their data set and look for more patterns in the data pertaining to the Neanderthal extinction and the spread of modern humans, Higham said.
The scientists detailed their findings in the Aug. 21 issue of the journal Nature.

I have been offered an "opportunity"
to take over maintenance of a small internal website run by my group that provides information about schedules and photos of events the groups done.
My manager sent me the link to the site and I checked it out. The site looked clean and neat but loaded in ~5 seconds. I thought this was a little long considering the site really didn't contain a lot of content. This prompted me to take a look under the hood at the pages source code. To my horror it'd been totally hacked together using nested tables!
I'm new so I really can't say no to this "opportunity"
so what should I do with it?
Every fiber of my being feels that the only correct thing to do is overhaul the site using CSS, Div's, Span's and any other appropriate tags that a sane/good web developer would used to begin with instead of depending on the render incentive magic of tables.
But I'd like to ask programmers with more experienced then me, who have been in this situation. What should I do?
Is my only realistic option to leave the horror as is and only adjusting the content as requested? I'm really torn between good development and the corporate reality I'm part of. Is there some kind of middle ground where things can be made better even if they're not perfect?
Thanks ahead of time.
I've been looking into this a little deeper and noticed an extension type that rendered as HTML but was actually ".cfm". After looking into it I found out this was a ColdFusion file. Which is apparently an Adobe WYSIWIG program which must have been used by my predecessor to create this site.
This means maintenance will be trivial once I get a copy of ColdFusion. I will probably still need to do things like create thumb nails and move some of the content on the home page elsewhere to improve load times. I doubt I can go much further in optimizing the site past this without throwing out ColdFusion.
I am very grateful for all the good advice and will keep it in mind for future "Opportunities".

DALLAS (AP) — Boeing is settling a few more of the roughly 150 lawsuits filed by families of passengers killed in two crashes of the 737 Max jet.
A Seattle law firm said Friday it settled four of the 46 cases it's handling for families of passengers who were on board a Lion Air Max that crashed off the coast of Indonesia in October 2018. On Thursday, a federal judge in Chicago approved settlements of nine other cases involving the same crash.
A Boeing spokesman said the company has settled "dozens" of claims.
Terms of the settlements were kept confidential at Boeing's insistence, according to lawyers.
Chicago-based Boeing has spent about a year making changes to flight software that played a role in the crashes. The company expects Federal Aviation Administration approval in January for a new pilot-training program around the changes, which would let U.S. airlines resume using the plane early next year.
The FAA, however, has not laid out a timetable for approving Boeing's changes, and the agency's chief vowed again Friday that the plane won't fly until it's safe.
"I know there is a lot of pressure to return this aircraft to service quickly," FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson said Friday in a video for agency employees, "but I want you to know, and I want you to take the time you need and focus solely on safety."
According to federal court records, more than 50 lawsuits were filed against Boeing by families of passengers on the Lion Air Max that crashed Oct. 29, 2018, and about 100 lawsuits were filed relating to the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Max on March 10.
Boeing Co. is working with a mediator, "and we are pleased to have resolved dozens of claims on terms that we believe fairly compensate the victims' families," Boeing spokesman Peter Pedraza said in a statement. "We remain committed to this mediation process."
Boeing didn't disclose the amount of the settlements, but Pedraza said Boeing has paid more than $7 million in separate aid to the families since setting up a special fund two months ago.
The company's legal strategy, however, has come under fire by lawmakers and lawyers for the passengers' families.
Lawyers for Boeing have said in several court filings that they could seek to move the lawsuits to courts in Indonesia, on grounds that it would be more convenient — most of the victims were Indonesians. Legal experts say judgments in Indonesian courts would likely be smaller.
Boeing lawyers have not yet asked the judge to move the cases, but the mere threat of a motion could be helping the company negotiate with victims' families.
Alexandra Wisner, a Chicago-area aviation lawyer whose settlements were approved by a federal judge this week, said lawyers like her must consider Boeing's potential defenses — including the ability to send the cases overseas — when negotiating for their clients. She said, however, that it would be overly simple to suggest that Boeing's strategy resulted in lower settlements for her clients.
Seattle aviation lawyer Mark Lindquist, whose firm announced four new settlements and has 42 other cases pending against Boeing, said there are strong reasons for keeping the cases in the U.S.
"The U.S. has a great interest in the safety of aircraft manufactured in the United States, most of the evidence of Boeing's wrongdoing is here in the U.S., and only a United States court can hold Boeing accountable," he said.
Last month, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg told a congressional committee he wasn't aware of the company's legal strategy. That drew a skeptical response by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., chairman of the House Transportation Committee.
"You're looking at hundreds of millions, billions of dollars of claims ... and you don't know that that's happening?" DeFazio said.
"Congressman, my focus has been on safety," Muilenburg replied.
On Friday, DeFazio said he sent several follow-up questions to Muilenburg, including whether Boeing intends to move the Lion Air lawsuits to Indonesia.
The settlements that have been publicly announced or revealed in court filings all involve families of passengers on the first Max crash. The families agreed to take part in mediation with Boeing. Lawyers for families of passengers in the second crash, in Ethiopia, have opted instead to seek documents from Boeing. Victims in that crash represented many more nationalities.
Wisner, who has clients related to both incidents, said Boeing is open to more second-guessing about the second crash.
"What did they know, what did they learn from the first crash, and why didn't they take any action" to ground the plane immediately? she said.

Henry is Spring's only hope at publication, but he's also the über-rich son of a land developer and cash-strapped Spring's polar opposite—though she can't help being attracted to the way he pushes her buttons, both politically and physically. Spring finds there's more to Henry than his old money and argyle sweaters…but can she drop the loud-and-proud act long enough to let him in? Suddenly, choosing between what she wants and what she needs puts Spring at odds with everything she believes in.
Definitely, Maybe in Love is a modern take on Pride and Prejudice that proves true love is worth risking a little pride.
To celebrate the launch of the new line, Entangled Embrace is giving away a Kindle Fire, an iPod Shuffle, and a $25 B&N Giftcard!

Publication Type: Abstract Only Publication Acceptance Date: 11/20/2009 Publication Date: 1/9/2010 Citation: Wubben, M., Callahan, F.E., Scheffler, B.E. 2010. Transcript analysis of sedentary parastic female reniform nematodes (Rotylenchulus reniformis) identifies candidate parasitism genes and targets for RNA-interference. Proceedings Plant and Animal Genome Conference. CD-ROM. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: The reniform nematode (RN) (Rotylenchulus reniformis) is a semi-endoparasitic nematode with a host range that spans 30 plant families; however, RN infection is particularly detrimental to Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). We present here an initial survey of cDNA sequences isolated from the RN female parasitic life-stage. 2,784 clones were bi-directionally sequenced, of which 1,995 remained after screening for low quality, vector, ribosomal, and mitochondrial sequences. These 1,995 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were condensed to 136 contigs and 517 singletons for a total of 653 RN unigenes. 27% and 38% of unigenes showed significant (E = 1e-03) alignments following BLASTn and BLASTx analyses, respectively. At least one Gene Ontogeny (GO) identity was assigned to 239 unigenes, while InterProScan detected positive hits for 339 unigenes. 31 unigenes were predicted to encode serine-type proteinase inhibitor (PI) proteins. Six of these 31 PI proteins failed to show significant homology to PIs from Caenorhabditis elegans, but tended to show homology to anti-blood coagulant proteins from ticks and mosquitoes and/or to venom proteins from snakes or poison arrow tree frogs. Putative 'parasitism genes' were also identified and included a cellulase gene and a homolog of the Heterodera glycines esophageal gland cDNA G22C12; in addition, 78 unigenes of unknown function were predicted to be secreted outside of the cell by SignalP 3.0. Furthermore, RN orthologues of C. elegans genes having lethal RNAi phenotypes were identified. This work represents the first analysis of the RN transcriptome and that of a semi-endoparasitic nematode in general. |

Our Daily Releaf Small Breed Edibites were created to support your small dog's overall long-term health.
This product has not been evaluated for or intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. This product should be used only as directed on the label. Consult with a physician if you have a serious medical condition, concern, or use prescription medications.
Even though both ourselves and our pets have endocannabinoid systems that can benefit from CBD, their dietary systems vary significantly from ours. Additionally, they are much smaller than us, meaning they require less CBD than humans on a whole. CBD products formulated for pets take these important factors into play, along with flavoring. Admittedly, humans prefer fruity or natural flavors over beef and salmon, popular flavors used in many pet treats.
The most important ingredient in all of our pet products, CBD, is the same regardless of what species of pet you have. However, just like the CBD you take, there are varieties of CBD (full spectrum, broad spectrum, isolate, and nano CBD) which may be used in different products. As you explore our complete line of CBD pet products, you will notice more dog products than cat products; this is mainly related to the extra flavors which appeal to canines.
The best CBD products for your pet are likely entirely different than CBD pet products others found effective for their pets. This is true for the same species, and even for the same breeds. Just as humans are unique, so too are our pets special, each in their own way. At CBD Emporium, we have done the important job of filtering out inferior and unacceptable CBD pet products, so you can be certain that whichever you select is of the highest quality for your pet.
Once you hit upon the best CBD treatment plan for your pet, we strongly recommend establishing and following a daily regimen to help your pet realize the best possible results from the CBD program you created.
As our CBD pet products deliver its cannabinoids, your pet's endocannabinoid system takes them and puts them to the best use possible for your pet. Certain CBD dog products include additional natural ingredients known to alleviate or treat specific conditions, meaning you can find different CBD dog products to focus on anxiety, pain, inflammation, or other ailments.
The amount of CBD your dog needs varies mainly upon its weight. Start with a measurement of about 0.2 mg of CBD per pound as a safe rule of thumb for the minimum CBD you should try. This means a 10-pound dog might start with a 2 mg treat while a 25-pound dog would benefit more from a 5 mg treat. If your dog responds positively to the new treatment, boost it by degrees until you are providing .5 mg of CBD per pound to your dog.
Responses differ between pets, but you will likely notice a significant change in the behavior and energy of your dog. Many customers see an immediate difference in their dog's attitude and spirit, often swearing that their dog knows the CBD product helps her or him feel better!
There are multiple ways in which CBD has helped different cats. Common concerns that cat owners address include anxiety management, pain alleviation, and appetite stimulation, all of which CBD appears to help in varying degrees. Our best recommendation is to try our various CBD pet and cat products until you find the ones that work best for your cat. As always, best results accrue through regular and consistent usage, with additional treatment recommended when unexpected situations cause additional stress or anxiety.
As with dogs, the amount of CBD required for your cat will generally vary based on its weight, but you use the same measurement of 0.2 mg of CBD per pound for your starting point. If your cat weighs 10 pounds, a 2 mg treat is a great starter to see how she or he responds and likes the chosen treatment. Ultimately, your cat should be able to handle and benefit from as much as .5 mg of CBD per pound.
We highly recommend you try our CBD-infused catnip spray which brings out the playfulness of your normally nervous kitty, followed up by a perfect wind down and long nap. Many of our cat customers swear by this product as the magic solution to their kitty's skittish tendencies.
We know (and love!) how picky cats can be, that is why we carefully sifted through a multitude of products to discover the most appealing CBD cat products. We offer sprays, tinctures, and treats; many customers have found one or all of these methods to be popular with their cats. And because cats are so smart, once they experience the positive physical benefits of their preferred CBD product, your biggest challenge will be keeping them in stock!

Basic Tips for an Awesome Garage Sale
It's there whenever you go to the garage, the basement, or the attic. It's there when you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning. It's there when you leave for vacation and when you get back. It's that mass of unused items that you keep telling yourself you need to get rid of but never seems to go anywhere. Suddenly, BRAINSTORM - you can have a garage sale! Folks will flock to your driveway in search of good deals and low-priced treasures. Unfortunately, you don't really know how to put together a garage sale that will entice hordes of bargain hunters. Fortunately, this list of basic tips will help you know where to start.
- Join a community wide or neighborhood-wide garage sale like Billings Biggest Garage Sale, if possible. The effort to market the event is a huge payoff for everyone involved. Garage sale junkies love going to one big area so they can shop for hours! Less gas, less parking and lots of variety!
- Schedule for the Saturday near a payday. You want to throw your garage sale shin-dig when people have cash. Typically, folks receive paychecks twice a month, around the first of the month and two weeks or so later. If you shoot for payday time frames, it's a good bet people will have cash in their pockets.
- Keep an eye on the sky. Rainy weather will kill a garage sale faster than a magnifying glass fries ants, so watch the local 10-day forecast. And have a plan in case of bad weather.
- Keep it legal. Make sure you have any permits you might need to throw and promote your sale. You may even need permits to put flyers in telephone poles or on fences, depending on the community. The last thing you want is for the cops to bust up your sale like a noisy frat party.
- Gang up. Throwing a garage sale is quite the undertaking, so make sure to enlist plenty of help. Get friends and family to help you keep track of merchandise and assist customers. It's also a good idea to team up with others having sales on the same day as you. Pool your stuff together in one location, and it's a good bet you'll get more shoppers stopping by.
- Ready the proper promotion. In the days leading up to your sale, make sure you get the word out. Put out lawn signs, put ads in the local newspaper or want ads, and set up promotion on websites like local garage sale site or craigslist. The more people who know about your sale, the more people are likely to stop in. Community garage sales like Billings Biggest Garage Sale takes this pointer full scale. This particular garage sale is advertised for weeks on end on multiple radio and TV stations.
- Be ready to go. The day before, set up a staging area where you can store your goods for easy distribution the next morning.
- Make sure you get plenty of change. It's an unnecessary hassle to have to send someone to chase down change in the middle of your sale.
- Get things rolling early on sale day. Early birds can make or break your sale.
- Be prepared to haggle. Folks come to garage sales in search of great deals. Have prices in mind, but give yourself enough room that you can bargain with costumers without giving your merchandise away.
- Be friendly. This one's just common sense. Nobody wants to deal with a grouch. Say hi, be chatty, and make your customers feel welcome.
- Have fun! A garage sale isn't just a way to make extra cash and get rid of unwanted clutter. It's a chance to meet a lot of people, hear lots of different stories, and maybe even make some new friends.
- Remember, if you're having fun, your customers will probably have fun, too.

USERDEL(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual USERDEL(8)Powered by man-cgi (2024-03-20). Maintained for NetBSD by Kimmo Suominen. Based on man-cgi by Panagiotis Christias.
userdel -- remove a user from the system
userdel -D [-p preserve-value] userdel [-rSv] [-p preserve-value] user
The userdel utility removes a user from the system, optionally removing that user's home directory and any subdirectories. Default values are taken from the information provided in the /etc/usermgmt.conf file, which, if running as root, is created using the built-in defaults if it does not exist. The first form of the command shown above (using the -D option) sets and displays the defaults for the userdel utility. See user(8) for more information about EXTENSIONS. -D Without any further options, -D will show the current defaults which will be used by the userdel utility. Together with one of the options shown for the first version of the command, -D will set the default to be the new value. This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS. -p preserve-value Set the preservation value. If this value is one of `true', `yes', or a non-zero number, then the user login information will be preserved. This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS. In the second form of the command, after setting any defaults, and then reading values from /etc/usermgmt.conf, the following command line options are processed: -p preserve-value Preserve the user information in the password file, but do not allow the user to login, by switching the password to an ``impossible'' one, and by setting the user's shell to the nologin(8) program. This option can be helpful in preserving a user's files for later use by members of that person's group after the user has moved on. This value can also be set in the /etc/usermgmt.conf file, using the `preserve' field. If the field has any of the values `true', `yes', or a non-zero number, then user information preservation will take place. This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS. -r Remove the user's home directory, any subdirectories, and any files and other entries in them. -S Allow a samba user name (with a trailing dollar sign) to be deleted. This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS. -v Perform any actions in a verbose manner. This option is included if built with EXTENSIONS. Once the information has been verified, userdel uses pwd_mkdb(8) to update the user database. This is run in the background, and, at very large sites could take several minutes. Until this update is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates and the new informa- tion is not available to programs.
The userdel utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
passwd(5), usermgmt.conf(5), group(8), nologin(8), pwd_mkdb(8), user(8), useradd(8)
The userdel utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. It is based on the addnerd package by the same author.
The userdel utility was written by Alistair G. Crooks <firstname.lastname@example.com>. NetBSD 9.0 November 16, 2005 NetBSD 9.0

Does your business need a loan? Before contacting your bank, it's important to gather all relevant financial information to prove your business is creditworthy. By anticipating information requests, you can expedite the application process and improve your chances of approval.
Lenders love GAAP
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is a collection of specific accounting rules and principles that's regularly updated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Lenders generally prefer GAAP financial statements over those prepared under special purpose frameworks, such as cash- or tax-basis financial statements, because GAAP financials tend to be more transparent and consistent from one business (or reporting period) to the next.
Businesses that follow GAAP use accrual-basis reporting. That is, they record sales as earned and expenses when incurred. Under GAAP, the balance sheet also includes receivables, payables, prepaid assets and accrued expenses. These accounts generally are created only when a business uses accrual accounting.
Dig deeper with financial benchmarks
During the loan application process, lenders may also compute various financial ratios and then compare them over time or against competitors. Common benchmarks used in the underwriting process include:
- Profit margin,
- Average days in inventory,
- Average days in receivables,
- Average days in payables,
- Current assets to current liabilities,
- Debt-to-equity ratio, and
- Interest coverage.
Beyond the numbers
Your lenders also may want to evaluate the operations of your business. This meeting provides opportunities to perform the following due diligence procedures:
- Touring the facilities,
- Meeting with members of your management team,
- Collecting additional information, such as copies of marketing materials, pricing lists and key contracts, and
- Discussing benchmarking anomalies and major discrepancies between the company's GAAP financial statements and tax returns.
Also be prepared to explain how you intend to use the loan proceeds for future business operations. For example, you might want to expand your facilities, hire more employees or buy equipment. Or maybe you want a cushion to fund occasional working capital shortfalls.
Ready, set, apply
