They began back in the first full week of June with a trip to Cannon County High School and then went to Middle Tennessee State University for three days of camp. The next week, they were … Read More

TWRA boating officers Dustin Buttram and Barry Baird have seen an increase in paddle sports on the Tennessee waterways they patrol. Paddle crafts are for rent at many reservoirs and public areas and it's a fun way to enjoy the outdoors. However many paddling for the first time go out unprepared. With four paddle craft fatalities in 2016, officers hope to reduce this in 2017.
Infrequent or new paddle craft users typically do not see themselves as a vessel that needs an understanding of boating safety and state laws. Any person born after January 1, 1989 must successfully complete a boating safety education course in order to operate … Read More

Democratic Dialog – By Debra Wines
For the past several months, I have been watching and reading everything I can concerning the Republicans' new healthcare plan for Americans. To say their plan leaves me cold and scared would be a bit of an understatement. Yes, I have significant worries about what their plans for Medicare will mean to me, personally. I am also aware of how their "Trumpcare" will affect my family, friends and people I don't even know. I willingly admit the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare was not perfect. There were flaws in the program, promises made that were not kept, but the overall premise of providing affordable … Read More

First an apology for the absence of article from me in the June 19 edition of The Expositor. I encountered some computer problems and missed the deadline. The problem has been resolved. This week's article deals with the left's efforts to push the country into anarchy.
During the period April 12, 1861 through May 9, 1865, our country endured a horrific civil war that took 620,000 lives (2 percent of the population at that time). 152 years later, we find our country is perilously close to anarchy. Anarchy is a word I frequently used … Read More

Full Page Cache
or search frequently asked questions:
Yes, Magento Full Page Cache allows for hole punch applied to dynamic blocks as well as cart/welcome and CMS blocks. You can exclude the blocks added via the amfpc.xml. Address the user guide to see a step-by-step instruction.
You rated this of 5 | Total rating: 3.9
It is extremely important to keep shopping cart page, customer account and all checkout pages uncached for correct operation of checkout process. That is why Amasty Full Page Cache extension has special settings to control caching of these areas.
Moreover, there is an "Ignore List" setting where you can list all the pages you want to hole punch, including categories, product and CMS pages.
You rated this of 5 | Total rating: 5.0
Yes, our Full Page Cache module supports Redis as well as other Magento backend caches: Memcache, APC, File Cache and Database cache. To enable Redis, please follow these steps.

You can see the test results in ms come in the table:
Every test was performed 10 times in order to provide correct calculation of the average value of the test results. This was for 50 simultaneous users jMeter will perform the test scenario 500 times. The test scenario contains 12 requests to the server (download of CSS page resources/JS/images are not taken into account in the test results), this way during the test with 50 simultaneous visitors 6000 requests are sent to the server.
Also, you can pay attention to the page code structure enhancement with the Google Speed Optimization extension.

Redis is one of the most popular caching mechanisms on the web. It keeps data in the server memory (RAM). To set Redis as a cache storage, you need to install and configure it on your server. Please, contact your system administrator or hosting provider for assistance in doing that. When Redis is installed, download pre-configured file or you can find it by its name "z_amfpclocal.xml" in the module folder. Then edit the file by adding Redis data in it and upload the file to app/etc folder. The result is that the database table "core_cache" shouldn't be increased.
We can say from our experience that MySQL Database is a very popular solution for the cache storage. The new records are created in the "core_cache" table with every new visited page. The solution is scalable. In case a store is replicated on several servers in order to balance site load, the database can be used as a common cache storage for numerous Magento nodes.
Moreover, it does not require any special skills to enable it.
File System is another solution to store cache. The cached data is stored in files on a disk. You can find them on a server in the magento_installation_folder/var/cache/ folder. The solution is available out of the box. So, there is no need to deal with configuration. In order to flush the cache it is required to remove all files from the var/cache/ with server access details.
To store cache in files you can just create a custom text file in the Magento root.
Memcached means "memory cached," which is simply caching resources in the memory. These resources can be data retrieved from API calls, database operations or even HTML pages. The data is stored in key/value pairs in the form of large hash tables. To use Memcache it should be installed and configured on a server. However, it is not a popular method of cache storage since it does not support tags and autoflush caching will not work as well. For example, when we save a product cache will not be cached automatically.
You rated this of 5 | Total rating: 5.0
The links are being crawled in the order they appear in the text file. It is possible to move a link up in the list for it to be crawled sooner. Please keep in mind that Full Page Cache Warmer doesn't influence the caches, it just takes the pages from default Magento URL rewrite tables and "warms" them so that they are cached even before the first customer opens a page.
You rated this of 5 | Total rating: 0.0
Decrease the time of cache living or move the cache storage to the Redis or text files.
Consult our user guide to learn how to switch to the text file.
The files will store caches of the page, the caches of the individual blocks will remain in core_cache.
To learn how to move the cache to Redis, please consult the following guide.
If the Redis is used the full page cache will be stored in it.
One more solution is to decrease the number of page combinations for Crawler:
It will help to reduce the number of combinations for each link when Crawler keeps your cache 'warm'.

Nonprofit spreads drowning prevention message
In Southwest Florida, warmer weather means a lot of time spent near water, and a lot of parents worrying about their children.
The weather is warmer, kids are enjoying spring break, and many are already looking forward to summer! Here in Southwest Florida, that means a lot of time spent near water, and a lot of parents worrying about their children.
Among them, Christa Mitchell. She lost her 2-year-old son, Christian, when he drowned at a Lehigh Acres home daycare back in 2013.
"I had no idea that there was even a pool at the daycare," Mitchell said. "You really have to search deep inside and figure out a new meaning, and some sort of legacy for your child, and that's what I'm doing with my nonprofit."
Mitchell started Grow Big Like The Trees, an organization that aims to plant memorial trees in honor of families who've lost a child.
Friday, her nonprofit and other organizations worked to spread a message of drowning prevention during "April Pools Day" at Sun Splash Family Waterpark. It's a funny name, but no laughing matter.
Sally Kreuscher is the Safe Kids Coordinator for Lee and Collier counties. She also works as the Child Advocacy Program Coordinator for Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida. She says in the month of March, six kids were taken to the hospital with injuries from near-drowning incidents.
"Drowning is the leading cause of death for kids ages 1 to 4," Kreuscher said.
Florida loses more young children to drowning than any other state. Nearly 90 percent of drowning deaths happen in the coming months between May and August. But it doesn't just happen in pools. Kreuscher says danger is everywhere.
"Children can drown in anything," she explained. "Bathtubs, buckets, backyard blowup pools, canals, boating."
To keep kids safe, experts say you need layers of protection that are both proactive and reactive.
"Putting up layers, such as pool fences, gates," she said, "and knowing what to do in case of an accident, so knowing CPR and calling 911 right away."
She says direct supervision is key - even when lifeguards are present.
Waterpark manager Sandra Greiner agrees.
"[Parents] know their kid the best too, if they're in trouble," Greiner said. "We don't know the swim level of every kid on the park, so it's better if they're there too, if they need help they can signal to us."
A message Mitchell and other moms want to send before it's too late.
"Your, our children are relying on you, and you can never be too safe."

Now if you think that an ordinary office computer isn't that powerful then let this change your mind!
from http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=15139#post15139
The 41st Mersenne Prime!
If you came here just to find out about this new Mersenne Prime number then here are the bare facts. The newly discovered Mersenne Prime number is 224,036,583-1, or 2 to the 24,036,583rd power minus 1.
It was discovered by Josh Findley, on May 15th 2004, using prime95 on his office computer. He used a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Windows XP PC running for 14 days prove the number. Findley is an independent IT consultant living in Issaquah, Washington. He joined GIMPS in June 1999.
The new prime was independently verified by Tony Reix of Grenoble, France using half of a Bull NovaScale 5000 HPC running Linux on 16 Itanium II 1.3 GHz CPUs for five days using the Glucas program by Guillermo Ballester Valor of Granada, Spain, and by Jeff Gilchrist of Elytra Enterprises Inc. in Ottawa, Canada using eleven days of time on a HP rx5670 quad Itanium II 1.5 GHz CPU server at SHARCNET. The discovery is the seventh record prime found by the GIMPS project. In recognition of every GIMPS contributor's effort, credit for this new discovery will go to "Findley, Woltman, Kurowski, et al".
Findley, a consultant to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in La Jolla, California, described the find. "I'm still surprised at the discovery. Even after five years running GIMPS on my computers, I didn't expect to find a new Mersenne prime! I joined GIMPS because it seemed the logical choice for using my spare CPU cycles."
Why, you may ask, do you have to verify the Mersenne prime using a different client? There is no difference in the math between the clients. Both implement a Lucas-Lehmer primality test using discrete weighted transforms. Prime95 was written in x86 assembly code. Glucas is written in C code. Since the clients were written by different people and run on different hardware, that virtually eliminates a programming bug or hardware flaw as a cause for a false M40 report.
The new prime was unofficially double-checked by Mike and Alf Refsum (Xyzzy and Prime Monster) on a 3.2 GHz P4 machine, but since it was run using the prime95 client this run does not count as an official verification run.
Some trivia about the 41st Mersenne Prime!
The new Mersenne, 224,036,583-1 has 7,235,733 decimal digits, and is currently the largest known prime number.

This Cassette Roman blind kit contains everything you need to make your own roman blind. The roman blind rail can easily be cut to size. See fitting instructions above for full details. Also check our Help Guide on Using a Cassette Roman Blind Kit. We believe this is the best roman blind kit solution available, as the roman blind rail is a completely enclosed system with a side winder mechanism that makes raising and lowering the blind simple.
It is highly recommended for wider blinds, as its gearing mechanism takes the effort out of raising the blind, due to its smooth operation. We have used other systems, but this is by far the best we have seen. The cords in the roman blind rail have a maximum length of 2.4m, and can easily be trimmed to size. The sidewinder chain is a chrome silver chain is fixed length of 100cm and cannot be adjusted - maximum fabric weight 4kg.
The strong aluminium head rail with hook tape secured in place to fix your blind to, and the discrete supports mean you can fix anywhere along the length of the headrail to get the best fixings in your wall.

Bexhill Caring Community is mourning the sad loss of a previous organiser, Jill Halsall (formerly of Peartree Lane) who passed away on New Year's Eve in a Bolton nursing home.
Jackie Heggarty , the current manager of Bexhill Caring Community, writes: "Jill took over the running of the charity on the retirement of its founding manager Ruby Gilham in
"At that time the organisation was operating from rather cramped quarters with a small staff.
"Jill oversaw a steady expansion in the charity's activities, culminating in the move to its present more spacious premises in Sackville Road. She retired in 2005.
"Jill will be remembered by those who knew her as a most efficient administrator, who by her efforts ensured that the charity's resources were used to great effect for the benefit of vulnerable people living in Bexhill. She also set up the Dial-A-Ride transport service which is still going strong today. During her long period in office Bexhill Caring Community became a much respected local organisation, receiving many legacies and gifts which have enabled it to carry on its numerous activities. Jill was also known as Chairman of the Day Centres before it was amalgamated with Bexhill Caring Community.
She was very hands on, baking cakes and cooking the meals for West Bexhill Day Centre in Little Common.
Jill's contribution to the community she loved was huge, she was respected and admired by all who knew her.
"Bexhill Caring Community will always be indebted to people like Jill who have given so much to those in the community who need help and support."

Makeup is a necessity for every woman so they apply makeup to make their facial expression good and beautiful. Without makeup, the women look bad and ugly and no one feel it good that they look bad and strange.
Like other women, I also apply makeup on my face to look beautiful and pretty. I know that if you look at me with simple face and have no make up on my face then I will look bad and ugly. To make better and attractive my face, I use makeup on my face. In the morning, I spend about one hour to apply makeup on my face. It is necessary for every woman to do makeup before going out of the home.
There are various women, who do not apply makeup at all or they apply makeup normally and do not waste so much time on their makeup like me. They still look beautiful and pretty without applying of makeup. On the other side, I always hide my natural face under makeup and try to be looked beautiful and attractive with my makeup. I want to look beautiful and stunning so for this, make up is necessary.
I do not know what I should do without makeup because I want to look beautiful as this is my life and I want to live in my own way. I want to look appealing and attractive so I will have to apply make up on my face. This is the important thing that what I want to do and how I want to look like.

From: Savarkar.org Team To: aryaputra_1…@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2012 3:11 PM
Subject: Savarkar's contribution to the shuddhi movement
The atmarpan divas of Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (28 May 1883-26 February 1966) falls on 26 February. It was on this day that Savarkar left his mortal coil in the highest tradition of Yoga by giving up food and water. Having done all his earthly duties, he embraced death in a spirit of sublime self-contentment. It is fitting to recall Savarkar's manifold and inspiring contribution to nation-building. A cause that was very close to Savarkar's heart was that of shuddhi. The word shuddhi means purity or purification. The concept is central to traditional Hindu thought and practice. The Hindu dharmasastras lay great stress on purity with regards to behaviour. A person was deemed to be an outcaste if he violated the rules and norms of behaviour as laid down in the dharmasastras. Such a fallen person could be taken back into his caste and hence into the Hindu fold if he performed suitable penance. In this broad sense, the term shuddhi can be found in various juridicial texts and commentaries. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the term came to acquire a more particular meaning, namely the incorporation into Hindu Dharma of non-Hindu persons or groups by means of ceremonial action. The importance of the shuddhi movement in Hindu consolidation, nay in the very survival of India as a Hindu nation cannot be over-emphasized. Shuddhi in its particular sense has a hoary tradition with solid scriptural basis. Maharishi Deval, Swami Ramananda, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Harihar II, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Chhatrapati Sambhaji, the Peshwas, Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Kashmir, Swami Dayananda, Swami Shraddhananda, Mahatma Hansraj, Vinayak Maharaj Masurkar are some of the better known proponents of the shuddhi movement. The contribution of Savarkar to the shuddhi movement is that of a philosopher, worker, leader and leader of leaders. Savarkar stated a profound truth in his maxim "Change of religion is tantamount to change of nationality". While Savarkar was not against voluntary acceptance of any religion after due thought, he was certainly against unethical methods employed by predatory religions to increase their flock. Savarkar lamented that Hindu rulers did not realize the grave consequences of mass conversions by Islamic rulers and failed to carry out shuddhi even when they had the opportunity and strength to do so. Along with his elder brother Babarao, Savarkar carried out a unique shuddhi movement in the hell-hole of the Andamans. Savarkar has written extensively on his shuddhi campaign in his My Transportation for Life. The Pathan warders would coerce or lure susceptible Hindu prisoners to convert to Islam. The Savarkar brothers carried out this shuddhi campaign in the face of violent assaults and an attempt on their life. In the absence of a formal shuddhi ceremony, Savarkar would ask the reclaimed prisoners to eat the tulsi leaf and chant from the Ramcharitmanas or the Gita. Savarkar's shuddhi campaign inside the four walls of the Cellular Jail had a salutary effect on the free Hindu residents of the Andamans. They started getting themselves enumerated as Hindus in the census. During his internment in Ratnagiri, Savarkar continued his shuddhi campaign. Through speeches and writings, he mobilized public opinion in favour of shuddhi. In memory of Swami Shraddhanand who was martyred (27 December 1926) in the cause of shuddhi, Savarkar started the Shraddhanand weekly. He personally brought back several Christian and Muslims into the Hindu fold. The reversion of the Dhakras family (25 May 1926) who had converted to Christianity 15 years earlier was performed with much enthusiasm by Savarkar. In 1928, he made efforts to get their daughter married and performed her kanyadan. He traveled from Ratnagiri to Kharepatan to attend the thread ceremony of their two sons. It was during Savarkar's stay in Ratnagiri that he met Vinayak Maharaj Masurkar of the Ramdasi tradition. Masurkar had started the Brahmacharyashram at Masur in Satara district (hence popularly known as Masurashram). It was Savarkar who told Masurkar Maharaj to bring back to the Hindu fold the hundreds of Rambhakts who had crossed over to alien religions. As a result, the Masurashram embarked on a shuddhi campaign in Portuguese-ruled Goa and brought back to the Hindu fold 7815 Gavdas who had been converted to Christianity. Coincidentally, it was on 26 February 1928 that the first batch of 1150 converted Gavdas underwent shuddhi in Tiswadi, Goa. Savarkar collected funds in Ratnagiri to assist Masurkar Maharaj in his endeavour. Savarkar was one of the very few individuals who was privy to Masurkar's plans to carry out shuddhi of the Gavdas. As leader of the Hindu Mahasabha, Savarkar relentlessly championed the cause of shuddhi, saying that shuddhi and sangathan went hand in hand. On 21 August 1955, 40 fishermen who had been converted to Christianity were brought back to Hindu Dharma by Shankaracharya Yogeshwaranandji at Dadar, Mumbai. So overjoyed was Savarkar, that he exclaimed, "May I be reborn to carry out shuddhi work, such is its importance!" In his will, Savarkar had instructed that a sum of money be given six monthly to organizations engaged in shuddhi work. On this, the atmarpan divas of Savarkar, let us dedicate ourselves to the holy cause of shuddhi! Thanks, Savarkar.org Team

Taking stakeholders' expectations into account constitutes the core of responsibility and the foundation for the continuity of our business operations. Our corporate responsibility principles – such as the UN's Global Compact principles – define our key areas and commitments.
Corporate responsibility is subject to a wide variety of expectations. In terms of financial responsibility, the company should be profitable. In terms of the environment, it should reduce emissions. In terms of society, it should provide high-quality services. In terms of personnel, it should ensure well-being at work and the sourcing chain needs to be ethically sound.
We divide our corporate responsibility into four areas: financial, social, people and environmental responsibility. Although we view corporate responsibility from a global perspective, we play a significant role in society in Finland and we are subject to the universal service obligation based on the Postal Act. For this reason, we have made social responsibility a separate area of responsibility. We mainly report on social responsibility in Finland.

Ollie Bollie (once again) was caught red-handed. This time, digging into some cake with chocolate frosting. Thom and I thought it was too quiet downstairs. Mystery solved.
And then, while he was frozen waiting to hear if he was in trouble, he toots. And starts laughing while saying, "My's so funny. My's burped in my bottom!". Best. Line. Ever.
He got his own piece of cake for his two-year old AWESOMENESS. Man, Ollie is awesome.
Well, they all got cake for lunch. Truth be told it was coconut flour cake, packed with eggs and sweetened with raw honey. Very little raw honey. Then the frosting was yummy butter, raw cacao powder and a little more honey. All in all, a treat for them and not a bad lunch from mom's perspective. Every once in a while.

The Snake Lady
Many people remember the legendary snake dancing scene in From Dusk Till Dawn, where Salma Hayek amazed everyone by gracefully moving around with her reptile partner.
Want to bring some of that grace, danger and spectacle to your event? I can perform dancing acts or walk around in costume with the snakes to bring that exotic or scary vibe to your party.
I can also do photoshoots or let your visitors take a picture with the snakes.
These beautiful creatures are sure to get attention wherever they go... and maybe scare a few people in the process.
Now available:
Voodoo Priestess burlesque act with boa constrictor!
This spectacular burlesque act features both snake dancing and fire eating, making it a surprising and captivating act for all audiences.
I also perform full snake dance acts in mysterious outfits where I take the snake out of its cage on stage!
When working with live animals, their well-being is the number one priority on my list.
Therefore, I will need to make certain arrangements to ensure their comfort and safety. Should you be interested in a snake act, I will explain the requirements to you in full detail.
During hibernation, the snake acts are temporarily unavailable. Depending on the outside temperature, acts in open air might also be unavailable due to the snake's need for warmer temperatures. When booking, you can choose which snake you would prefer, but I do hold the right to change that decision based on their shedding cycle, health condition and overall temper that day.
Snakes available at this moment:

28 November 2014, Montreux, Switzerland - As part of a three-year partnership between the Institute for Diplomacy and International Relations (IDRI) of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), a retreat focused on "Peacekeeping and Security within the United Nations System" was organized along the picturesque shores of Lac Léman in Montreux from 11 – 14 November 2014.
What is the role of the United Nations in international conflicts? Bringing together experts from legal, diplomatic, operational, and military backgrounds, ten diplomats from Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs gained insight and shared practical experience to find answers to this pressing question.
Spanning four days, this workshop sought to strike a balance in the combination of theoretical and practical sessions. Participants agreed with this approach, saying: "This workshop has been of great benefit, as much on the theoretical side as on the practical side."
Led by Ms. Leila Benkirane, the workshop began with an introduction to how the UN has defined its role in international peace and security. Ms. Benkirane spoke of her 20 years of experience working within the UN's Office of Legal Affairs, and leveraged this legal perspective to provide participants with an overview of the UN's institutional mandate with respect to international security.
Also during the first day, Professor Alain Jacques Sigg shared his wealth of experience in preventative diplomacy and mediation, notably with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (South Africa), and the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, among many others. Professor Sigg spoke extensively of his own first-hand experience, lending credence to the idea that the international community can often play a very real role in preventing and mediating conflicts around the world.
On the second day, HE Alain Le Roy – former Under-Secretary-General of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and former Deputy Special Coordinator of the Secretary-General in Sarajevo – provided an overview of the DPKO. Mr. Le Roy spoke of the operational side of peacekeeping work, including financing, military contributions, and cooperation between the UN and regional organizations. Mr. Le Roy then guided participants to examine several past and ongoing peacekeeping operations, bringing to life their newfound appreciation for the work of the DPKO.
The final two days were facilitated by General Yves de Kermabon (a former général de corps d'armée with the French Army who has served in numerous UN and NATO peacekeeping operations) along with Mr. Frédéric Jouhaud (former Lieutenant Colonel with the French Army and operational expert) and Mr. Raphaël Pouyé (an independent researcher with over 10 years experience in post-conflict reconstruction missions). The three experts began by sharing their experience, collected across dozens of operations altogether, to better understand how coordination between institutions takes place in the field. Also discussed was how civil and military leaders interact during these operations.
For the remainder of the workshop, the three experts guided the participants through a variety of challenging simulation exercises driven by the concept of action learning (i.e. "learning by doing"). These exercises included the drafting of a UN Security Council resolution, the development of a mission strategy, and an evaluation of the political aspects of a mission – including managing relations with the host country.
Members of the Algerian delegation provided remarkably positive comments at the end of the training session, stressing the high degree of the training quality and the trainers' approach to knowledge and skills transfer. Following the workshop, 100% of participants reported that not only would they recommend the training to others, but they feel that it is very likely that they will make use of the knowledge they have gained.
At the core of the collaboration between IDRI and UNITAR is a common commitment to providing training that inspires participants to want to use the capacities they have developed during our learning activities. Therefore, the success of this retreat represents an important step in the ongoing realization of the goals of this enduring partnership.

This is a Primeval almost unearthly, with rampant and verdant growth. An absolutely enchanted forest of leafy glades freckled with sunshine, where lichen, moss, ferns and fungus grow and ingratiate themselves into every damp crevice. It is a hothouse nurturing species found nowhere else on earth, a secret bank account of precious genetic stock. Among its six types of primate, two are endemic-the IRINGA RED COLUBUS MONKEY and the SANJE CRESTED MANGABEY, not detected until 1979.The four previously known birds, including the RUFOUS-WINGED SUNBIRD and the new species of the PATRIDGE-LIKE FRANCOLIN, make this park he Tanzania's richest forest bird habitat and among the three most important bird conservation areas on the continent. Udzungwa is made for hiking and climbing with trails through the rainforest and escarpment. The natural penthouse like plateau, with sugar plantations against some patchwork of grassland and moutain forest extending over 100 kms. But the core of the beauty is the SANJE RIVER where it reinvents itself as a spectacular waterfall plunging 170 meters through the rain forest to land in a spray of mist in the valley below.
Location: This park is located 348 kms - 215 miles from Dar-es-Salaam, and 65 kms - 40 miles southwest of Mikumi national park
Size: Covering an area of about 1,990 sq.kms about 1,240 sq.miles.
How to go there: Comfortable drive from Dar-es-Salaam or Mikumi National Park
To do: Easy 2-hour hike to the waterfall to camping safaris, combining with nearby Mikumi or en-route to Ruaha National Park.
Best time: All year around although it is slippery in the wet season. June-October is dry, before the short rains, but get ready for rain anytime.
Like it's northerly neighbor, Gombe, the Mahale mountains are home to some of the last remaining wild chimps in Africa. The area also known as NKUNGWE- named after the park's massive mountain, standing at 2,460[8,069 feet a.s.l] it is the highest of the six prominent points that make up the mountain range which runs down the Mahale promontory, along side Lake Tanganyika. In this park you can also trace the TONGWE PEOLPE'S ancient pilgrimage to the mountain spirits, hiking through enclaves of rain forests to grassy ridges chequered with alpine bamboo. From here returning to the lake to plunge into the clear waters, home to more than 250 unique species of fish, then return as you came, by boat.
Location: This park is located in the western side of Tanzania, bordering Lake Tanganyika.
Size: This park occupies an area of about 1,613 sq.kms [about 1,000 sq.miles]
How to go there: Chartered flights from Arusha, Dar or Kigoma, then charter boat services from Kigoma. There is a weakly steamer from Kigoma which will take you 7 hours, then hire a local fishing boat or you can arrange with the park HQs for pick-up in park boat to take you another 1-2 hours to the park.
To do: Chimp tracking you have to give yourself an allowance of about 2 days, hiking, camping safaris, snorkeling, fish for your dinner.
Best time: May-October, which is the dry season for forest walks, although there is no problem in the light rains of October/November.
Yes, day after day of cloudless skies, the sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as bristle as straw, this is ''Tarangire National Park'' Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the parched Tarangire river for underground streams while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, gazelle, hartebeest, eland and oryx crowds the shrinking lagoons. This is a perfect smorgasbord for predators-the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem. The swamps, tinged green year around, are the focus for the 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. KORI BUSTARDS [the heaviest flying bird] GROUND HORNBILLS that bluster like turkeys will be found on drier GROUND. Tarangire PYTHORNS climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the SAUSAGE TREE disguises the twitch of a tail.
Location: This park is located 118 kms - about 75 miles southwest of Arusha Town.
Size: This park covers an area of 2,600 sq.kms - about 1,600 sq.miles.
How to go there: Accessible easily by road from Arusha or Lake Manyara, and can continue to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Also by charter flight from both Arusha and Serengeti.
To do: Professionally guided walking safaris, day tour to the BARABAIG TRIBE'S ancient Kolo rock paintings.
Best time: Viewing all year round, but dry season June - September for sheer number of animals.
This park is rich tapestry of habitats teeming with fauna and avifauna. The park has three major distinct zones that attribute to its variety and beauty: the Ngurdoto Crater; the Momella Lakes; and the rocky alpine heights of Mount Meru rising to 4,566 meters [14,990 feet a.s.l] This park is a secret of many facets. In this park you can watch zebra graze on the red grasslands, dik-dik dart into scrubby bush, leopards lurk in shadowy forests, reedbuck pick through marshy pools, black and white colobus monkey riot in the damp forest mists, giraffes glide across the grassy hills and in the distance Mount KILIMANJARO watches over.
Location: Located in the northern Tanzania, just northeast of Arusha Town.
Size: About 137 sq.kms.
How to go there: An easy 40 minutes drive from Arusha Town and its approximately 60 kms [about 35 miles] from Kilimanjaro International Airport.
To do: Excellent forest walks, numerous picnic sites, 3or 4 days Mt. Meru climbs and best acclimatization for Mt.Kilimanjaro.
Best time: June -February is the best time to ascend, although it may rain in November. December-February is the best time for Mt.Kilimanjaro viewing.
Our game viewing starts he moment we touch down. A coupe of giraffe race beside the airstrip, all legs and neck yet alegant in their awkwardness line of zebra parades across the runway in their wake while protective elephants guard their young under the shade of a fat baobab tree [Adansonia digitata]. Wildlife is concentrated along the cascading Great Ruaha River that is the park's lifeblood, homing hippos and crocks snacking on schools of fish, this river is flooded torrent after the rains, dwindling to precious pools surrounded by a blinding sweep of sand in the dry season. Waterbuck [common], impala [southern], and the world's most southerly Grant's gazelle risk their lives for a sip of its waters... a permanent hunting ground for lion, leopard, jackal, hyena and packs of wild dogs [African hunting dog]- rare elsewhere. Ruaha's 8,000 resident elephants remain the largest population of any national park in East Africa, recovering strongly from ivory poaching in the eighties. Unique combinations of animals co-exist here - both the shy greater and lesser Kudu may be seen corkscrew horns gleaming like worn metal behind a camouflage of thorny thicket, sable and roan antelope.

The name itself is a mystery, it might mean Mountain of Light; Mountain of Greatness or Mountain of Caravans.[or might not].The indigenous people around this area the [WACHAGGA] don't have a name for the whole massif, only KIPOO [now known as KIBO], for the familiar snowy peak that stands imperious, overseer of the continent, the summit of AFRICA. Rising in absolute isolation at 5,895 meters [19,340 feet a.s.l], Kilimanjaro is the Africa's highest mountain and one of the world's most accessible high summits. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. Those who reach the UHURU [FREEDOM] POINT, the actual summit, or GILMAN'S POINT on the lip of the crater, will have earned their ascending certificates. And their MEMORIES off-course. But there is more to Kili than her summit. The ascending trip up her slope takes you on a climatic world tour, from the tropics to the arctic. The grassy and cultivated lower slopes turn into lush rainforest, inhabited by the elusive elephants, leopards, buffalos and a variety of antelopes. Higher still, heath and moorland, covered with giant heathers, becomes surreal alpine desert and finally ice, snow and beauty of the top of the continent.

More than 6 million hooves pound the legendary plains of the Serengeti [end less plains in MAASAI language]. The exodus triggered by the rains, more than a million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson's gazelle congregate to under take the long trek to new pasturing lands.

See and witness predator versus the prey and the fundamental interdependence of the Serengeti's abundant species, the large amounts of bird species more than 500 varieties and more than 100 types of dung beetle. In actual fact the Serengeti is a sense of seeing to the ends of the earth, the over sunburn savannah shimmering to the horizon. Yet, after the rains this golden horizon is magically transformed into an endless green carpet flecked with wildflowers. But there are also wooded hills, towering termite mounds and rocky Kopjes, rivers lined with elegant stands of fig trees, ebony and acacia stained orange with dust.

It is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest fresh water lake in the world. It is home to the lungfish a unique fish type that dates back 300 million years, which can breathe air in to its swim bladder, which then act as a primitive pair of lungs.

The Selous Game Reserve is the largest protected wildlife area in Africa. UN World Heritage site, this pristine, uninhabited area is larger than Switzerland. Only in the Serengeti will visitors see a greater concentration of wildlife. Yet Selous boasts Tanzania's largest population of elephants as well as large numbers of buffalo, hippo and wild dog. Other spicies commonly seen are lion, bushbuck, impala, giraffe, eland, baboon, zebra and greater kudu.

The waters of lake Tanganika, the longest (677 km) and second deepest (1433 m) fresh water lake in the world, contains one of the richest concentration of fish found anywhere. More than 250 species live withing it. It is worth staying up on a moonless night to watch the local fisherman on the lake, who attract their catch by suspending lights over the bows of their boats.
It may not have a particularly romantic name, but Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. This one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of this handiwork. You can spend many idle hours and days just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways.
Zanzibar's brilliant white beaches lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun and take a break from some busy sightseeing. The beaches in Zanzibar are a paradise, interspersed with picturesque fishing villages, where the people live a simple way of life, unchanged over the years. There are more than 25 fantastic beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so peaceful and remote that the only noise breaking the silence is likely to be the ocean.

Employee FAQ
I have been working more than 40 hours a week for no additional pay on a regular basis. My bosses tell me I am a manager and am not eligible for overtime pay, even though I spend most of my work time taking care of customers. Is this right?
My co-workers and I were discussing some of the things at work that are unfair, like leave policies, how they set our pay, and verbal abuse from supervisors. I agreed to talk to the manager about our concerns. He told me I was a troublemaker, and shortly afterward I was fired. Should I just forget this job, or is there something I can do about this?
I've been working for the same company for some time. During the past year a medical condition has made me disabled for work. I used up all my leave, and then applied for disability benefits that are provided by an insurance company my employer uses. The insurance company denied me and did not seem to consider my doctor's information. I'm still not clear on what they wanted. Is there anything I can do?
Federal law, and similar laws in many states, generally provide that employees are entitled to payment at one and a half times their regular pay for any hours worked beyond forty hours a week. Exemptions from this right to overtime are applied to employees who are considered "executive," "administrative," "professional," certain "computer professionals," or employees who do outside sales work. There are detailed and lengthy tests to apply to the work you do to determine whether you fall into one of these exemptions. How your employer classifies you is not the last word. Unless you do very little production work and have clear and final supervisory authority, you should consult an attorney to determine if you are entitled to the overtime pay that you have not been receiving. If you are entitled to such overtime pay, there may also be penalty payments and payment of your attorney fees due to you.
It is not well known that federal labor law protects employees who act together, or "in concert," to address problems with their working conditions. When employees step up in this way, it is illegal for their employer to retaliate against them or against their employee spokesperson. You may be entitled to reinstatement to your former job, back pay for any earnings and benefits you lost since you were terminated, and interest on the back pay. You should consult an attorney to learn how to pursue your claim. Also, what was the nature of the verbal abuse? That could give rise to a separate claim for different and additional damages.
When an insurance company denies employee disability benefits, it must provide the employee with a range of specific information about the reasons for the denial and about rights to appeal the denial within the insurance company, usually within sixty days. The denial should be studied carefully and compared to the "plan document" that the insurance company must maintain, which sets out the standards for when benefits are due or when they may be denied. A thorough and appropriate appeal must be filed with the insurance company that addresses any reasons given by the insurance company for the denial. An attorney can assist you with this. If your claim for benefits is still denied after that, you are entitled to have your claim reviewed in federal court. If the court allows the claim, it may also award your attorney fees.

Jan / 24
Tim De Cotta is a vocalist, bassist, songwriter and producer who believes in keeping his art pure. Styled in R&B and hip hop, De Cotta draws influences from artists such as Maxwell, John Legend, Common and Mos Def while styling his bass-playing after the likes of Derrick Hodge and Stuart Zender. Having played with various bands, he constantly gets his hands dirty in musical diversity, pushing the boundaries in writing and production.
He conducted a workshop at One world College of Music to guide us through his songwriting process and share his songs and experiences with us. The 31 year old songwriter shared how he'd been hustling for years while nurturing his craft at the same time was here guiding other musicians who are chasing the same dream. Sharing his experiences with the music he creates with The Warriors, he said being a warrior to him meant fighting the need to conform or please anyone other than yourself, ultimately being true to yourself. Collaborations according to De Cotta should always spur out of connection and mutual respect, and because of that connection and understanding, he's been playing with his band members for more than 6-7 years
He picked up the bass and enjoys composing on it as it gave him the most freedom. With a bass he feels he doesn't need to worry about chord shapes, he could compose melodies on top of melodies and just freely find his way into a song. A lot of the students who attended the workshop were fascinated by the vox-bass combo which was pretty rare for singer-songwriters.
Sharing a lot of his compositions with us, Tim said his aim with writing his album was to trigger something in people. And he found that could only be possible if he allowed himself to vulnerable. Borrowing elements from his experience as spoken word poet he wrote about his insomnia during a time he wasn't sleeping. With another song "Seasons", he poetically put it together to talk about adapting to change and how we're very resilient, and how everything will be alright at the end of the day. All his songs were from different points of his life over the years in his journey to mind himself musically. He described how his arrangements move around the lyrics and how certain soundscapes accentuate certain feelings. De Cotta closed the workshop with an open jam session, encouraging students to lend their energies to create music together.

Your local Business & lifestyle magazine
One of the best things about fashion is how good it can make you feel. Now that the sun is finally out, Angela Poplett, Lakeside's Personal Shopper, is here to help you pick the best new items for men from the rainbow of colour that's filling the shops. It's guaranteed to make you feel good.
"The designers are no longer just hinting at colour, they're embracing it whole heartedly – and you should too. Have you ever noticed how people shower you with compliments when you break away from black and wear a show-stopping colour? This season, it's going to be easier than ever to brighten up your wardrobe!
"For men the trend is neon and bright, clashing colours. Men are getting much more adventurous with fashion and this trend is a brilliant opportunity to start having some fun. It's not expensive to give it a go, either, as Lakeside's Primark is stocking some brilliant neon brights at their usual low prices.
"The mainstream spring/summer look for men seems set to be very casual; chinos and t-shirts. You can get the chinos from Zara or Brother2Brother in beige, navy, rust or ochre and I'd team with a bright and bold t-shirt from Jack & Jones. You could swap the chinos for coloured jeans, too – try Ted Baker in Lakeside's House of Fraser for these.
"If you're not sure about wearing so many colours, you can introduce them with bright belts, sunglasses and shoes, but my advice would be to just go for it! The brighter you go, the better you'll feel.
For more fashion advice, book a free appointment with Lakeside's Personal Shopper by visiting www.lakeside.uk.com or following Lakeside on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lakeside). Lakeside is open from 10am – 10pm weekdays, 9am – 9pm Saturday and 11am – 5pm Sunday.

Vandoren V12 Clarinet reeds have a thicker heel and are cut on a longer palette with a slightly thicker tip than Vandoren Traditional reeds. The longer palatte means that more of the reed is vibrating, resulting in a deeper, richer sound. The thicker tip gives body to the attack and also increases the life of the reed.

Association for Integrity in Health Care Documentation
Although there are other organizations that teach clinical documentation in the United States, the AIHCD® program is unique. "We take a multi-disciplinary approach. Every member of the healthcare team needs to speak the same language, and it begins with doctors. And this is where DocuComp LLC is unique. We believe that sometimes it takes a doctor to teach a doctor and that is why DocuComp LLC uses physicians to conduct our training," says Bibbins.
AIHCD® offers health care professionals the opportunity to rise above their peers by increasing their knowledge on medical cost recovery efforts and teaches them how to take that knowledge back to their team and implement a positive change within their institutions. Not only does this make them an essential part of the team but it also makes them a vital part of the hospitals overall success.
