Great. You can get in the city within 10 minutes by tram or nightbus.
We had a room at Wijttenbachstraat 64 which wasn't clean at all. The walls were dirty and there were several big mould spots on the ceiling. One of the two beds was broken, sleeping was only possible in a slanting position. There was no chair or a coat rack or anything to put your clothes or towels on.
The shower was disgusting. Since the fan was messy, it didn't work well. So there was almost no ventilation to reduce the warm humidity in this extremely narrow room. Under this circumstances it was no surprise that the shower was mouldy too.
The toilet can be described as half-decent. There's a washbowl which is ok, but there is only cold water. So if some men are accustomed to shave their faces with hot water, they'll get a problem.
Amsterdam Oosterpark Inn makes a dubios impression. Not only that at the adress Oosterpark 71 is only a doorbell panel to find but nothing which would indicate that there is a hostel (There's no reception or anything like that). Furthermore payment was only possible in cash and we didn't get a receipt.

From Yahoo news political expert:
'It's the diplomatic equivalent of stamping your feet - Britain used it against Russia following Moscow's refusal to extradite Alexander Litvinenko.'
Given that the British media were so obsessed with the death of the criminal Litvinenko, which supposedly heralded a new cold war, they could at least remember that he was the victim not the killer.
Our democratic media also use the News Headline Cameron Pledges to Cut the Quangos.
Though in truth he says that he will review them.

Wrexham's run without a win stretched to seven games after losing 3-1 at home to Maidstone United.
It was the Reds' penultimate game of the season at The Racecourse but despite taking the lead, poor defending allowed Maidstone to run out winners.
Wrexham went ahead in the ninth minute.
Paul Rutherford crossed from the by-line and Jordan White's header beat goalkeeper Lee Worgan.
Maidstone came back into the game and levelled after 30 minutes, Joe Pigott converting Alex Flisher's cross after Wrexham gifted the visitors possession.
It was the visitors who made it 2-1 seven minutes into the second half.
Jamar Loza took down a throw-in and glided effortlessly past Russell Penn and Rutherford before slotting past Jalal.
Wrexham had a great chance to equalise on 62 minutes but substitute Anthony Barry, who had only just replaced Iffy Allen, was his penalty saved by Lee Worgan.
Maidstone scored a third goal eight minutes from time, Jack Paxman swung in a corner and an unmarked Flisher headed home from close range.
Wrexham (4-4-2): Jalal; Carrington, Marx, Riley, Jennings; Allen (Barry 62), Penn, Evans (Shenton 33), Rutherford; Massanka, White. Subs not used: Dunn, Smith, McLeod.

Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has described music as part of the African Culture and reiterated the need for music and culture to be commercialised in order to create jobs and reduce poverty among African youths.
He stated this when the African Union Commission (AUC) and the international committee of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, as part of activities in the build-up to the 2016 edition of AFRIMA.
Obasanjo commended AFRIMA and AUC for unifying Africa through music and implored AFRIMA and AUC not to relent in achieving their objectives and called on brands and governments in Africa to partner with AFRIMA.
He recalled similar projects while he was president, like All African Games (COJA 2003) and Festival of Art and Culture in Africa (FESTAC '77) as platforms for promoting African culture and unity that require huge resources to organise.

Cloud 9 was a massive vessel of unusual design that contained a five-star restaurant, theater, casino, several bars, and numerous hotel rooms and luxury suites. Its most notable feature was a huge biodome which contained a pressurized natural habitat nearly a quarter-mile in diameter, which simulated an outdoor park. The dome was mounted to the starboard side of the ship's main hull by a "V" shaped pylon structure which supported a spoon-shaped bow that contained the hotel. Behind the hotel section was a separately attached crew module which also contained the ship's hangar bay, command bridge, engineering, and sub-light/FTL drive engines. Directly under the saucer dome were another set of drive engines.
Inside the dome, many varieties of trees and plants from the Twelve Colonies were grown on the grounds and were cared for by a dedicated gardening staff. The dome also contained an artificial lake used for swimming. At the center of the park was a large auditorium structure used for gatherings and festivals. This building was used by Laura Roslin as the meeting place for the new Quorum of Twelve after the Cylon attack on the Colonies. The dome used any natural sunlight that was available, in an attempt to replicate the atmospheric conditions of a planet's sky. However, Cloud 9 was still a spaceship, and didn't really live up to the quality of a real planet, as there were some flaws in the design—such as fake terrain used to disguise the machinery as well as the easily noticeable and massive support beams of the sky dome. Despite this, Cloud 9 was judged to be one of the nicer places to live in the colonial fleet.
The ship was primarily used as a hotel and resort which had hosted various diplomatic functions and been the site of a terrorist assassination plot against President Laura Roslin, most notably during an electoral meeting for the Quorum of Twelve council, in which the radical Tom Zarek attempted to manipulate the council into voting him into the position of Vice President.
The ship had an "open port" policy and did not keep track of those who came and went, which caused numerous security problems and allowed members of the terrorist group "Demand Peace" to use it as a base of operations. Even President Roslin herself fled to Cloud 9 during Commander Adama's military coup.
Cloud 9 was destroyed in the Season 2 finale episode "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II", along with at least three other ships including a Colonial Movers freighter. A nuclear warhead, which was given to the Cylon agent Gina by then-Vice-President Gaius Baltar, was used to destroy the ship. The shock wave from the nuclear explosion left behind an identifiable signature that was discovered by a Cylon patrol one light-year away. One year after the destruction of the ship, the signature led a Cylon invasion force to New Caprica.

Top architects accuse Israelis of oppression
by Hugh Muir |
The Guardian
| 26 May 2007
Leading British architects have accused their counterparts in Israel of complicity in schemes that contribute to the "social, political and economic oppression of Palestinians".
The architects, including Will Alsop, Terry Farrell, Richard MacCormac, Royal Institute of British Architects president Jack Pringle and president-elect Sunand Prasad, have signed a petition organised by the group Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine.
"APJP asserts that the actions of our fellow professionals working with these enterprises are clearly unethical, immoral and contravene universally recognised professional codes of conduct," a spokesman said. "We ask the Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA) to meet their professional obligations to declare their opposition to this inhuman occupation."

Confront the colluders in Israel's academy
by Lisa Taraki |
Times Higher Education Supplement
| 23 June 2006
Israeli scholars have either collaborated in the occupation or turned a blind eye. They deserve a boycott, argues Lisa Taraki
Although Menahem Milson's career path and mine have been on a collision course, we have never met. In 1976, I joined Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank as a junior instructor in sociology. The same year, Milson, a professor of Arabic language and literature at the Hebrew University, became "adviser on Arab affairs" in the Israeli Government.
By 1981, when the academic community I was part of was struggling under the crushing yoke of Israeli punishments, he was appointed head of the military administration in the West Bank. One of the highlights of his tenure was the notorious "Village Leagues" scheme, a failed experiment in promoting a class of Palestinian collaborators to mediate Israeli rule.

"Akademia besviva mishtana" ("Academia in a Changing Environment: Higher Education Policy in Israel, 1952-2004) by Ami Volansky, Hakibbutz Hameuchad and Shmuel Neeman Institute, 422 pages, NIS 88
University students are a minority group in Israel. But compared to students in other countries on an economic par with Israel, local students are a minority group with few rights and a very marginal place in public discourse. Studies that analyze the state of higher education in this country are also few and far between.
"Akademia besviva mishtana" ("Academia in a Changing Environment: Higher Education Policy in Israel, 1952-2004"), recently published by Hakibbutz Hameuchad, does not help to change things much, although it is filled with facts and figures. The author of the book, Ami Volansky, was the adviser on higher education to four Israeli ministers of education, and the Education Ministry's deputy director general on policy planning and evaluation. Although the book is based on his long years of experience in an official capacity, Volansky neither adopts a critical stance nor accepts "ministerial responsibility" for any of his findings.

Several dozen Jewish and Arab students protested Tuesday morning at Haifa University against an academic conference titled "The Demographic Problem and Israel's Demographic Policies" that they described as racist.
The students, prevented by campus security personnel from entering the auditorium where the conference was being held, sat down outside and refused to be evacuated.
Conference participants are slated to discuss the forecasts that Arabs will constitute the majority of Israel's population with several decades.

Israeli Anthropology and American Anthropology
by Smadar Lavie (article 1), Andre Levy (article 2) |
Anthropology Newsletter, page 9 & page 10
| January 2005
In March three registered NGOs, Ahoti (Sistah, Hebrew), Israels feminists-of-color movement; the Mizrahi Democratic Rainbow; and Mossawa, the Advocacy Center for the Palestinian-Arab Citizens of Israel, filed an official complaint to Israels State Comptroller against anthropology departments in all Israeli universities.
These NGOs advocate Mizrahi (Arab-Jews of Asian and North African origins) and Palestinian-Israeli human rights. The complaint was researched and co-authored by Yif`at Hillel, Nurit Hajjaj, Vardit Damri-Madar, Rafi Shubeli, Smadar Lavie and by the late Vicki Shiran, founder of Israels feminist-of-color movement.
In these NGOs complaint, clarification is sought on the almost complete absence of tenured Mizrahi faculty, and the total absence of Palestinian-Israeli faculty in anthropology departments in Israeli universities. Such absences are in complete violation of any principal of equal opportunities employment. Mizrahim and Palestinian citizens of Israel consist of about 70% of Israels citizenry.

Political Discourse
As editor of a AAA scholarly journal, I am dismayed to learn that vitriolic invective has become an acceptable means of engaging discourse in any publication of AAA. What disturbs me about the epithets used by certain proponents of political causes, just or not, is not so much their intemperate heat, as their hyperbolic misappropriation of concepts. When our colleague, anthropologist Smadar Lavie (Jan 2005 AN see copy in
), misuses the term apartheid to characterize Israeli anthropology departments in which certain ethnic-identified groups are underrepresented, she debases a term that carries the weight of horrific suffering and inhumanity. Her evidence, such as it is, does not support this characterization; my understanding of the facts is confirmed by Andre Levys response in the same issue (see copy in
. Where Lavie might appropriately have called for a more concerted effort at affirmative action to redress a past imbalance (as proposed by Levy), her epithet instead attempts to evoke an inappropriate emotional response.

The Collapse of Academic Freedom in Israel: Tantura, Teddy Katz and Haifa University
by ZALMAN AMIT |
| 11 May 2005
On April 22, the Association of University Teachers in the United Kingdom voted to boycott the University of Haifa in Israel. Supporters of the boycott referred to the university's treatment of one of its staff, Dr. Ilan Pappe, in the controversy over an MA thesis which had been written by Teddy Katz about events in 1948 in the Palestinian coastal village of Tantura, a few miles south of Haifa.
The boycott decision has led to a media storm in both Israel and the United Kingdom. The debate is ongoing -- opponents of the boycott have collected the twenty-five signatures needed to call a special emergency conference to discuss the boycott again; this meeting will be held on May 26.
I should declare, up front, that I have been tangentially involved in the Katz affair: I attended the court proceedings as a member of the public and I have recently finished translating Katz's thesis into English. However, my interest in the events at Tantura in 1948 goes back much further.

Chapter Five: (More on the Katz Affair) La Libre Parole, The Plot, the Trial and the Acquittal.
by Ilan Pappe |
Translation from French Book The Demons of the Nakbah published by la fabrique paris 2003
| 2003
Although the Katz and Tantura affairs were the motivating force complicating my relationship with the University, there was a wider context for my growing isolation - directly linked to the general deterioration in the state of basic freedoms in Israel, described in the previous chapter. In the campus, this was manifested in the increased tension between the university and the Palestinian students in it. The relative large number of Palestinian students in the campus (20 percent of the overall student population) meant that the events in October 2000 were immediately felt in the university compound. And indeed the link was established in a very personal and bloody manner. Two nephews of Arab lecturers in our university were among those murdered by the Israeli police in October 2000. One of them, Wissam Yazbak, I knew and his uncle is a very good friend of mine. I was the only one who made a note in public about the victims, but my desperate call for a show of solidarity with members of our faculty was received as an act of treason. The community of academics in Haifa University almost unanimously parroted every move the government took without a modicum of criticism. My seclusion and exclusion in the university was a foretold story given this immoral and cowardly behaviour of a community of scholars in the so called the only democracy in the Middle East.

Chapter Four: The Katz Affair
by Ilan Pappe |
Translation from French Book The Demons of the Nakbah published by la fabrique paris 2003
| 2003
In the late 1980s I gave a course in Haifa University on the history of the conflict. Students were allowed free hand in choosing how best to present their thoughts on the issue of the conflict. One relatively elderly student of mine, a member of a kibbutz, Teddy Katz, decided to look into the chronicles of his kibbutz in the 1948 war.
He discovered that his Kibbutz, Magal, was sitting on the ruins of a village called Zeyta. He further found out that this village was not occupied in 1948, but was rather confiscated after the war by the Israeli government as it was coveted by the Kibbutzim movement for its fertile soil and convenient location on the way between Haifa and Tel-Aviv. As was quite common in the years between 1948 and 1955, such a wish by the Kibbutz movement could easily turn into reality. The villagers were ordered to leave and rebuilt their village to the east. When the new kibbutzniks arrived in their novel place they were still unhappy. They could from their windows those who were evicted so that they could have a home. So they asked, and were heeded, that Zeyta should be moved again.

n our very first lessons on the British constitution we were impressed with the most salient of facts to the effect that the British Parliament can turn a man into a woman (or vice versa).

Todays issue of the Israeli daily, Maariv, informs us that the next meeting on the Israeli cabinet is going to turn the College of Judea and Samaria into a university. It appears that the initiative is coming from the Minister for Education, Limor Livnat. Ms. Livnat, it transpires, has granted her acquiescence to Sharons Gaza Disengagement Plan conditionally.
The condition you guessed it is to intensify settlement in the West Bank. Livnat figures that the new university will attract additional population to the Ariel area. She is also certain, according to the same source, that there will not be any difficulty concerning her initiative which has reportedly received the backing of Ariel Sharon, with the United States, which has given its blessing to the settlement blocs, Ariel included. Thus if all goes well, the Israeli government will turn a college previously established by fiat of a military officer in the occupation, into a full fledged university. Livan claims that there is no financial problem involved since the College is already funded by the
Israeli Council of Higher Education.

Cabinet votes 13-7 to declare West Bank college a university
by Gideon Alon and Tamara Traubman |
| 2 May 2005
The cabinet voted 13-7 Monday to confer university status on Judea and Samaria College in Ariel, less than two weeks after a major British lecturers union sparked wide controversy by declaring a boycott against Bar-Ilan University for its links to the West Bank college.
The vote was held amid acrimonious debate in the cabinet over the political significance of upgrading the status of a college in a West Bank settlement. Likud ministers followed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's lead in supporting the Ariel proposal, while Labor ministers - with the exception of Dalia Itzik, who abstained - complied with Vice Premier Shimon Peres' call to vote against it.
The government also unanimously approved a proposal to combine a number of northern colleges into a Galilee university, an initiative that has been promoted recently by Peres.

Dinesh Wagle has been a journalist for 14 years (till 18 Feb 2012) with several Nepali publications including Kantipur and The Kathmandu Post, both daily newspapers by Kantipur Publications, Nepal's largest media company. During his last year in journalism Dinesh coordinated the team that produced the Saturday edition of Kantipur, a Nepali-language newspaper. Before that, as the Publication's New Delhi bureau chief from Nov 2008 to Feb 2011, Dinesh filed stories and columns for both Kantipur and The Post (and Kantipur TV and Kantipur FM) on Nepal-India relations, Nepalis in India and Indian politics and society.
Before joining Kantipur newspaper in late 2004 Dinesh Wagle was a reporter with Nepal magazine from the same publishing group. The weekly magazine was a Fortnightly when he joined it in mid 2000. Dinesh also worked at two other weekly newspapers in Kathmandu (Bimarsha and Tarun) before joining Nepal.
Dinesh never planned to become or thought about being a journalist before he chose journalism as one of the majors in RR College, Trubhuvan University. He, for some unknown reasons- probably as a fashion, wanted to study Science. Like many youths he also wanted to be a doctor or an engineer. He even took a preparatory course for engineering before actually seeing his School Leaving Certificate (10th grade) result. The result (65 percent) was average but the marks he got in an entrance exam for Science course were not enough to get him into the Biology department of Tri Chandra College. However, the SLC percentage was more than enough for him to get in to R R College. Four of his highschool buddies- Anjan Dhakal, Diwakar Aryal, Raju Raut, and Ujjwal Acharya- also went to RR.
Now, because one of his major subjects was Journalism, Dinesh started buying and reading at least one newspaper, mostly weeklies, daily. His passion for journalism slowly got ignited. After the very first year in the college, he was thinking of writing something for newspaper.
No Teacher, Be a Reporter
After finishing the two-year Proficiency Certificate Level (+2, post-SLC) Dinesh wanted to work in a newspaper. He went to at least two weekly papers to try his luck. An editor with Asanbazar Weekly was interested. Dinesh filed at least two articles for the weekly. Soon he lost interest in the weekly paper. In December 1997 Dinesh went to a Kathmandu Boarding School to teach kids. With all respect to teachers, Dinesh says, he hated the job.
That is why he terminated his good friendship with wonderful kids in a month to start, with new spirit of the new year of 1998, his career as a journalist with Tarun weekly newspaper. A month as a trainee reporter was sufficient for editors at Tarun test Dinesh's ability and hire him as a staff reporter.
Changing the Paper
In the mid of 1999, Dinesh changed his office. He went to work for Saptahik Bimarsha, a prominent weekly newspaper from Kathmandu. There he mostly reported on, well, everything, from politics to crime, corruption to development. He also ran a business column for the newspaper, though, he didn't consider himself a business reporter. While working as a staff reporter at Bimarsha Dinesh also interned at the Kathmandu Post for three months beginning January 2000. The internship was part of his bachelor's degree journalism course.
Reporter Becomes Editor
Dinesh briefly edited a monthly magazine called Pardeshi in 2001 while he was working as a reporter at Nepal magazine. Pardeshi circulated primarily in Hong Kong. He discontinued the editorship which lasted for about four months because he found it difficult to work in two magazines at the same time.
At Nepal magazine
In mid 2000, Dinesh left Bimarsha to join Nepal, a Sunday magazine by Kantipur Publications. He worked there until late 2004 when he switched to the Kantipur daily, from the same publishing house. At Nepal, Dinesh wrote on various social topics including, mainly, Information Technology. He was recognized as best "IT Journalist [writing in] Nepali" by Computer Association of Nepal in 2003. In February 2003, Dinesh was awarded the "best reporter of the year" for his "outstanding performance" at Nepal by its publisher Kantipur Publications. The magazine is available on the web at eKantipur.
Dinesh Loved his job
Writing is his passion. Journalism is what Dinesh loved the most when he was an active journalist. Even now, as a journalist in hibernation, he feels journalism is a great profession. He enjoyed his job as a journalist. Journalists work at odd hours and they have their own 'style' of functioning. The job requires a lot of mental engagement which is not bound by time (office hours). Said Dinesh: "You may not be in office physically, but, as my experience suggests, you are almost always mentally involved in your current or the next story." His father initially wanted Dinesh to join the government service for which Dinesh had no particular fascination. Dinesh was fully committed to the profession of journalism, with complete respect and devotion to work, till his last day as a journalist.

Much about the open enrollment period for Medicare is different this year: It is earlier, there are a lot of plans to choose from, and it might be cheaper.
Open enrollment begins Saturday, up from Nov. 15 in previous years, and ends Dec. 7.
Medicare recipients in Georgia will have 151 plans to choose from, including 17 "special needs" plans that cater to certain populations, such as those with a chronic illness, including diabetes, said Lauren Spivey, the Elder Rights Program manager for the CSRA Area Agency on Aging.
Many choices mean a lot to sort through, she said.
"Competition is good, but a lot of times there is confusion," Spivey said.
For instance, many of the larger chain providers, such as Walmart, have teamed up with a specific provider to offer either Medicare Part D prescription drug plans or Medicare Advantage plans, which usually provide all Medicare services, including prescriptions. Customers should be aware of that when asking their pharmacist for help with choosing a plan, and they might want to double-check any recommendations, Spivey said.
"It's better to call and check the source," she said.
Medicare's Web site, Medicare.gov, includes the popular "Medicare Plan Finder," which allows recipients to plug in their prescriptions to find out which plans cover them and then compare costs.
The premiums for those plans have decreased a little, with the cheapest prescription plan coming in at $15.10 a month for next year, compared with about $16 a month for the cheapest this year, Spivey said. Overall, premiums for Medicare Advantage plans decreased by 4 percent for next year, and the average premium for prescriptions decreased to $30, about 76 cents less than this year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Those who fall into the "doughnut hole," where the plans stop paying for coverage until costs meet a new threshold, will be eligible for 50 percent savings on brand-name drugs and 7 percent savings on generics, the centers said.
There is also a little more flexibility to switch plans after open enrollment ends. Beginning Dec. 8, recipients may switch throughout the year to any of the plans Medicare has given its top 5-star rating, Spivey said. From Jan. 1 through Feb. 14, recipients may also switch from a Medicare Advantage plan to traditional Medicare and a prescription plan, in addition to the open enrollment period, she said.

Politics can get me incensed . . . but this is beyond that now. I have been casually monitoring the health care situation over the last couple days and want to pass on some very informative and exciting links to you.
First, I would recommend everyone to read this article. This is possibly the most succinct and clear perspective I have on the whole situation. A short quote from it goes as follows:
They [members of congress] had no idea how people were feeling. Their 2008 win left them thinking an election that had been shaped by anti-Bush, anti-Republican, and pro-change feeling was really a mandate without context; they thought that in the middle of a historic recession featuring horrific deficits, they could assume support for the invention of a huge new entitlement carrying huge new costs.
The passions of the protesters, on the other hand, are not a surprise. They hired a man to represent them in Washington. They give him a big office, a huge staff and the power to tell people what to do. They give him a car and a driver, sometimes a security detail, and a special pin showing he's a congressman. And all they ask in return is that he see to their interests and not terrify them too much. Really, that's all people ask. Expectations are very low. What the protesters are saying is, "You are terrifying us."
As we already know, and this article points out, there is now an "upper class" of congress people and guess what? They have no clue what is going on in the real world. In fact this congressman does not want to know. He is afraid (and rightly so) and is from a liberal state!
Now I know there are a ton of videos out there the anyone can watch . . . but I want to highlight this "listening" session by the AARP.


text: Human RightsVenezuela rejects rumours of Chavez's death Relatives of president assure his "victory" over cancer to counter speculation that Hugo Chavez passed away. 02 Mar 2013 03:19 GMT | Human Rights, Latin America, Cuba, Panama, Venezuela Senior officials and relatives of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez have denied rumors that he passed away from cancer, saying he was still battling for his life. "There he is, continuing his fight, his battle, and we are sure of victory!" his older brother Adan Chavez, the governor ofBarinas state, told a crowd of cheering supporters on Friday. Speculation about Chavez hit fever pitch this week, fed in part by claims from Guillermo Cochez, Panama's former ambassador to the Organization of American States, that the Venezuelan leader had died. "The launching of absurd and bizarre rumors by the right wing simply discredits them and isolates them further from thepeople," said Jorge Arreaza, Chavez's son-in-law, adding that the president was "calm" in a hospital with his family and doctors. Apart from one set of photos showing Chavez lying in a Havana hospital bed, he has not been seen nor heard from in public since a December 11 surgery in Cuba, his fourth operation.Source: Al Jazeera

Rihanna Ran Right into a Crowd of Her Biggest Fans for Her "Goodnight Gotham" Video
This video is the stuff fan dreams are made of.
The video for Rihanna's "Goodbye Gotham," a bonus track from her album Anti, might be short (it clocks in at just over a minute), but it's definitely epic. In the video, Rihanna runs fearlessly into a crowd of her biggest fans, colliding with them in a moment of pure joy for everyone involved.
The video was filmed with a mob of Rihanna's real fans in Paris' Trocadero Square back in December 2014, according to Billboard. It's hard to believe anyone could have more fun than the lucky fans invited to participate, but the look on Rihanna's face when the crowd lifts her up makes us wonder if maybe she was actually having more fun than anyone else.
Check out the beautiful, brief video for yourself:

Date published: 2013-04-11
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Expandable Foam I bought this to fill the gaps between dot and dab plasterboard and blockwork walls. I Used it on a cold night in December and it came out a bit runny and took a fair while to cure so i only filled the bottom and side gaps as i didnt want the filler to drip down from the top. It was easy to use and filled the gaps to stop the draft and sealed round cables well. I will try and fill the top section in the summer when its a bit warmer to stop all the drafts.

Yeast Conversion From Grams To Ounces Please
Decorating By pirogilady Updated 24 Feb 2009 , 5:18am by chutzpah
hi everyone. I posted the same question few years ago but lost the post after CC had to be rebuilt some time ago so I have to ask again:
using european recipes, how do i convert the amount of yeast from Grams to Ounces (or teaspoons or what have you). it's can't be direct conversion- otherwise if a recipe calls for 30 grams of yeast, in ounces i'd have to use so much yeast that it will rise to the ceiling!!!
Please- any help is appreciated. i love those recipes but the yeast portion is so confusing....
thank you to anyone who can help!!!
fresh or dried?
I use a nifty little free program by Josh Madison called Convert. I have used it for years and currently have it on this laptop which has Vista even though I didn't see Vista listed on the download site. This way, you don't have to be connected to figure out what is what. It converts just about everything but currency. Check out
or your favorite download site.
thank you very much
i will try both links. i have the feeling one of you speaks hebrew- if you do- you might know the book i am translating the conversion from !!!
if i am wrong about this- forgive me. the book is "ugot le-kol et"...

Insurance in South Africa
With a higher crime rate than most countries, you can expect to pay more for insurance in South Africa whether it be car, household or life insurance.
In the last decade South Africa has seen an increase in insurance companies and insurance products being offered. Competition amongst insurance companies has also increased and this is excellent news for the consumer as each insurance company will try and offer the best deals and best services to the customer.
Even if premiums remain high, a consumer can still receive discounts in the form of cash back bonuses as offered by some insurance companies or a consumer may benefit from other deals such as roadside assistance.
Although the number of insurance companies has increased and there is a lot of competition amongst them, South Africa does still face a lot of challenges for insurers and insured alike. Some of unique challenges of insurance in South Africa include:
- High crime rate: Social conditions and poor management of public safety pose challenges to the local insurance industry as well as the community. With higher crime rates, more people take out insurance yet this also means that more people claim against their insurance policy.
- Lower income households: The insurance industry focuses on higher income households, as lower income households cannot afford insurance. The market is very competitive at the higher income end yet offers little in the way of products for the lower income bracket.
- High H.I.V and A.I.D.S rate: Those infected with the H.I.V have a higher mortality rate, which proves a bigger risk to insurers. Some other risks include loss of income due to inability to work and the cost of funeral upon death. Insurance companies can assist through the funding of appropriate treatments.
- High unemployment rate: South Africa has a high unemployment rate which means that many people face the scary prospect of not being able to pay their premiums. When times are tough economically usually insurance is the first to go as people try to cut cost.
- Low natural disaster rate: Unlike other countries such as the United States, South Africa does not experience natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, which means that people do not take out coverage for these disasters. Insurance companies focus on other products.
- Insurance in South Africa has its own unique challenges for both the insurance company and the insurance customer. Luckily insurance companies are constantly evolving to keep up with the latest trends.

"Libraries Transform" is the theme for National Library Week 2017. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries – school, public, academic and special – participate. More information is available here.
On April 7, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Division for Libraries and Technology posted a video and blog article featuring State Superintendent Tony Evers and footage from the Lancaster and Beloit Public Libraries. Superintendent Evers talks about the critical role libraries play in their communities and talks about the devastating proposed cuts to the IMLS budget.
Observances during National Library Week include:
Monday, April 10: State of America's Libraries Report released, including Top Ten Frequently Challenged Books of 2016.
Tuesday, April 11: National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
Wednesday, April 12: National Bookmobile Day, a day to recognize the contributions of our nation's bookmobiles and the dedicated professionals who make quality bookmobile outreach possible in their communities.
Thursday, April 13, has been designated Take Action for Libraries Day. Read the press release.
National Library Week is a good time to think about the question, "How do the different kinds of libraries serve our local communities, regions and state?"
Each type of library does a different job. College and school libraries purchase materials to support the curriculum of their particular institutions. They are on the spot whenever teachers and students need them, providing equal access to all information resources. This is especially important in a rural public school district where so many girls and boys must depend upon adults for transportation to the public library.
Students attending UW-Marathon County, as well as the Nicolet Area Technical College and Northcentral Technical College districts have a similar need for on-site libraries supporting their coursework.
Corporate and hospital libraries contain collections of information on particular subject areas. The employees, clients or patients who use these libraries need ready access to technical periodicals, reference materials and other sources that are often too specialized or expensive to be included in libraries serving the general public.
The "free" in free public libraries isn't about cost, but about free and equal access to information regardless of income or location. While the means by which each public library realizes its annual operating budget is complex, shared community investment in what Andrew Carnegie called "the people's university" allows everyone to take equal advantage of the service.
A public library's overall mission is more generic. It serves the recreational reading and information needs of all persons in the community, regardless of their age, educational background or interest focus. These days, that includes providing reliable broadband access, assistance to job-seekers and citizens seeking knowledge and new skills to re-enter the workforce. Lifelong learning is an important part of a public library's mission, whether it be focused on early childhood development, inclusive services, literacy and other programs for all ages, or memory cafes for seniors. With the coordinated support of Wisconsin Valley Library Service and 15 other public library systems around the state, citizens who use small rural libraries have as much access to all that much larger libraries are able to offer as those in cities.
All types of libraries work together to serve a community. For example, school and public libraries both teach children that learning is a lifetime process and reading is fun. Both formal and informal adult education is accomplished through use of college and public libraries. Special libraries are added to the mix through referral and inter-library loan.

Copying device library to Micro SD card

I have the same hardware and will gladly share my techniques, which don't involve any specialized software.
Unfortunately, as has already been noted, you can't get the device to automatically download new purchases to the card. I wish there were, but it's just not an option.
Originally Posted by

First and foremost, realize that you're looking at three groups of ebooks in your device's library:
1. Books you've bought from the Kobo store and have downloaded to the device, typically through the sync mechanism (directly via wi-fi or indirectly via the desktop app and a USB connection) or the device/store interface.
2. DRM-protected books that you've sideloaded. These are a special headache, as the device and the computer that downloaded those books both have to be authorized with the same Adobe ID. (That's the only way the decryption will work properly.)
3. Unprotected books that you've "sideloaded" onto the device, for which DRM is not a concern.
At this point, there are two paths: The Approved Path and The Illegal Path. The latter boils down to stripping the DRM from all of your purchases, thus eliminating the middle category (and, if you're so inclined, the first as well) altogether. That involves using your computer to download your purchased files, DRM-stripping software on that computer to unlock them, the Kobo desktop (or iOS/Android) app to "delete" them from your cloud*, and then treating everything as one big library of unprotected ebooks that you can manipulate at will. What remains below is the former option.
* This deletion removes them from "Books I'm Reading" (the auto-download list) but not "Books I've Purchased" (the complete list). Note that using "delete" on the Kobo website is NOT the same thing; that takes the books off of BOTH lists, which you do NOT want to do.
Step one, if all your books are either in the Kobo cloud ("Reading") or on your computer, is just to factory-reset your device and blow away your old database. This will destroy any shelving data for sideloaded books (2 and 3 above), but that's going to happen anyway unless you use dedicated software like Calibre; that's part of the tradeoff here. Once you set up your Kobo and Adobe authorizations and your wi-fi network, it's a question of reloading the books.
The first category is easy to deal with - just sync with the Kobo servers. If the initial mass download is interrupted, the "missing" books will show up as "archived" with an arrow-in-circle icon on their covers, giving you the option to download them one at a time. (There's also a mass download option under the wrench icon in Library view.) Anyway, you don't have to worry about moving these; you'll get them from the cloud, complete with shelving info.
The second category is almost as easy. Assuming all of your DRM-locked books are all in your Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) library, just connect your reader, let ADE detect it, and transfer them to the new reader through ADE. You may also be able to just copy the encrypted books onto the card, relying on the common Adobe key (the device's has to match the computer) to handle the decryption...but that means finding your ADE library folder so you can get at the files directly. Not hard, just a minor hassle. Still, if ADE won't let you copy to the card, it's worth the trouble. On Win7, I believe ADE has its own folder inside Documents.
The third category is profoundly easy, since there's no automated anything. Odds are that you downloaded the unprotected files with your computer and kept them on your hard drive anyway; all you have to do now is copy them to the card. Windows Explorer does that just fine. Just put the card in the reader, connect it to the computer, and two drive letters will appear. One is the card, the other the reader. Drag, drop, eject, and enjoy.
That's the basic "how." See my next message for tips and tricks...

We installed all new servers, reconfigured our IP address range and installed a new Exchange Server. I do I get Spiceworks to rescan the new hardware?
This topic was created during version 5.2.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Nov 15, 2011 at 7:05 UTC
Go to inventory, settings, network scan.
from here you can do a new scan entry or just scan.
Nov 15, 2011 at 7:09 UTC
Here is a screenshot
Nov 15, 2011 at 7:10 UTC
And one more
Nov 15, 2011 at 9:48 UTC
If you have already added the scan range for your exchange server, then simple you can manually scan it by your dashboard, look at the lower left at the bottom, there is a "scan" button just click on it and it will scan your network again. sending you few related articles about scanning which may help you also.
Nov 16, 2011 at 1:12 UTC
I tired all those suggestions before I posted. It doesn't appear to be working. Spiceworks still only shows the old servers and hardware with the wrong IP range.
Nov 17, 2011 at 12:27 UTC
We posted the solutions as your first question, but as your second reply is completely different question =), then you should take a look at this how-to for inventory inconsistencies consider atleast step 1 to step 3.
and this one for unknown and other errors of spiceworks you might face,
make sure you are on updated build of spiceworks which is 5.2, if not then please update first and retry. Also check that you have no any stale dns records specially in reverse lookup, delete if found any stale record. Clearing the browser cache or restart the spiceworks server may also help.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

The Irish international joined us in March 2000 and, playing both up front and in defence, it was almost a year before he make his mark with vital goals in our run to the FA Cup semi-finals in 2000-01.
But just as he looked like cementing a position in central defence he suffered a broken leg in a League Cup tie against Torquay in September 2001 that kept him out until April 2002.
Since then he's settled into a defensive role - although still playing up front for Ireland (four goals in 22 caps) - and he's now made 69 appearances in all competitions.
Acting boss David Pleat said: "Gary came from Luton three years ago, he did well up front, helped us win a couple of important FA Cup ties but then he broke his leg and went backwards.
"We never adjusted his contract, the whole thing was put on ice and he was the victim of circumstances so we're pleased to give him the opportunity to sign a new contract."I think he's done ever so well since he's played centre-back. He had a terrible time against Leicester City but that was a good opportunity to say 'we believe in you and you have a future here'.
"Indeed, Doherty and Gardner looked a very good combination in that little run of games when we beat Leeds and Liverpool. I thought that looked an interesting combination.
"Then, like all players, he had a little slip back, made those errors against Leicester and that probably shook him.
"But I'm pleased with him. He's a very genuine player and I think he can only improve."

Management of FOCOS Hospital calls on B&FT
The management of FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital paid a courtesy visit to the editorial management of the Business & Financial Times (B&FT) in Accra.
The FOCOS team, led by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Leticia Osei-Poku, said the visit was meant to commend the B&FT for its tremendous efforts in churning out credible business news over the years and also strengthen the specialist hospital's existing ties with the media giant.
Mrs.Osei-Poku and her team interacted with the Managing Editor William Selassy Adjadogo and some business as well as health reporters. She was accompanied by the Development & Public Relations Manager at FOCOS, Nana Kwame Osei Fordjour and Dr. Mahmud Rufai, a Spine Surgeon at FOCOS.
During their interaction, the FOCOS CAO reiterated the hospital's commitment towards quality orthopaedic healthcare delivery and training African health practitioners in orthopaedic surgery and anesthesia.
Dr. Rufai encouraged Mr. Adjadogo and his team to maintain the niche they have carved for themselves in the media industry and also give prominence to Orthopaedic health issues in the country because many Ghanaians were had limited knowledge in the area.
Mr. Adjadogo assured the hospital's team of the media giant's readiness to support and partner institutions achieve their aim but will always maintain its position as a leading watchdog in society.
"We as a business paper is here for business. At the same time we will not shy away from reporting the ills in society whether it is coming from the health sector or the business community because that is our major role in society," he noted.
FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital, with some of the best medical practitioners in the world, the hospital specializes in Clubfoot, Complex Spine Deformities, Joint Replacement, Research & Education as well as other degenerative spine illnesses.

Pollina Calls Douglas on State Hospital Failure
Anthony Pollina issued the following statement today regarding the failure of the Vermont State Hospital to gain federal certification, which results in the loss of Medicaid funding. Pollina was joined by employees of the Vermont State Hospital.
"The failure of the federal government to certify the Vermont State Hospital is a major failure on every level for the Douglas Administration.
The loss of certification will cost $7 million this year, but has cost Vermonters more than $30 million over the last 5 years. That is more than the cost of a new State Hospital. Instead of acting we have wasted the money and gotten nothing for it.
While the loss of money is most important in the short term, the lack of certification reflects failure on every level. It is a failure to mange the situation, a failure to invest in infrastructure and a failure to respect the mental health needs of Vermonters, patients, providers and staff.
The Douglas Administration has wasted time and money, making lots of promises and excuses, all the while undermining mental health services. We need to act.
As Governor I would develop a plan to meet our mental health service needs with a new State Hospital, most likely located in Waterbury. The plan would include cooperation with private hospitals and intermediary facilities as needed with a state of the art Vermont State Hospital at the center of the system.
Douglas has also failed to lead us toward broader health care reforms that include mental health. It makes no sense to talk about health care and mental health as seperate issues. As Governor I will work to create a new Vermont health care system that saves money, controls costs, and includes mental health services."

Hi all, and a question
Expand Messages
- I'm working on converting a Russian eText into an HTML eBook, and
can't use NoteTab Pro for this, because it doesn't seem to recognize
UTF-8 encoded characters. Is there a setting I'm not seeing, or am I
doomed to use something else for this project? My clips are so finely
tuned that I could cut my development time down to a tenth, if only I
could do all this in NoteTab.
