Intentions are your Expressions Says GITA Power of Intentions is the Success Formula Says Management GITA Says Your Intentions should be clear, practical, achievable and should differentiate you from the winner Key players who can determine the power of your intentions Wisdom and Science (Gyana and Vigyana) GITA says Science can be understood by our senses, i.e. Mouth speaks and understands various issues through, eyes, ears and other senses. Wisdom will make the power of your intentions very strong Wisdom will create an inner feeling (Intuition), which can be transformed in to Introspection, after series of inner understanding if your mind says yes it becomes intentions GITA says use the value of science for taking decisions in known things, Science why, Wisdom can focus how. Intentions should be a mind factor says GITA E.g.: You're planning to fast today and you will proclaim to people that, I will not eat any food, Science can brings ways and means, yes I can drink water, fruit juices But what if you're Mind thinks of delicious foods and contemplating on that, then your action (FASTING) does not call for any value Power of Intentions is mind phenomenon Arjuna was able to visualize only the Parrot, when all others saw different parts of Trees Yudhister was able to see only good people. But Duroydhana was able to see only bad people. But People are the same, intention power is different Power of Intentions is the Success Formula Says Management Organizations slowly understand the power of intentions Try this Exercise Visualize that you are smelling the fragrance of ROSE ……. Visualize that you are smelling garbage …. Observe the two reactions in a Mirror …… The Answer …… is clear…. So it is evident that inner intentions can only parallel your outer expressions , even though a small amount of camouflage is done finally you get what you intend . Many times we hear jargon like Think Global Act Local I will say the Jargon Actually shows the power of intentions, you know why When you think global, you will automatically make your local a global place So Intentions starts with an inner feeling, then transforms into intuitions and travels as introspection and ably supported by wisdom becomes an action plan and your expressions and through science it becomes success formula.

Birthdate: 6/9/2010
Color: Beige
Type: Male Suri
Status: Unproven
Description: Helios is a beautiful young male whom we acquired because of his exquisite fleece structure and density. As a grandson of the famed Durango, Helios carries exceptional genetic quality. Because of his youth, we will not know his breeding potential for another year or so, but felt it was worth the "risk" to bring in-house a male with his fiber quality and genetic background. Helios has very fine fiber, with perfect "show style" lock (highly twisted with exceptional luster and density), so he may well become part of our show string for 2011. He already exhibits strong masculine propensities, orgling and mounting any female incautious enough to cush near him! It's possible the future holds great things for this little fellow.

Bike frames, ladders, nails, golf clubs, sinks, faucets, window frames, pots, pans, gates, cars, refrigerators, electric power lines, food cans, medicine packaging, aeroplanes...
How did all of these things make it into the same list you ask? The answer is aluminium. Everything on that list and many more consumer and industrial products are at least partly made from aluminium. But where does all that aluminium come from?
Bauxite is a sedimentary rock with a relatively high aluminium content and it is the world's main source of aluminium. It's usually found near close to the surface of the terrain so a surface mining technique is used to extract it.
Guinea, one of the world's poorest countries, has become one of the biggest exporters of bauxite over the past three years. Currently, the country has the world's largest bauxite reserves, almost one-fourth of all known reserves in the world. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), Guinea is on its way to becoming the largest bauxite exporter in the world.
At first, superficial, glance the bauxite boom looks hopeful for the country. It promises tax revenue for the government, job opportunities for people of Guinea and profit for mining companies.
However, as HRW unearthed, Guniea's bauxite boom has dire human rights repercussions for people who live near the mining areas.
According to HRW, land right protection laws in Guniea are quite ambiguous. Rural land is usually organised by customary laws, according to which a family or a communities rights over a piece of land depends on their time-based connection to the area. In order to claim rights over a piece of land said family or community has to formally register their land ownership and very few people have done this.
Big mining companies wanting to hop on the bauxite train — trains too, have aluminium parts — exploit the ambiguousness of Guinea's land laws. They take land away from local farmers without fair compensation. The payments that farmers and communities get for the land are not adequate compared to the benefits they would get from the land itself.
Plus, one-off payments come and go but owning a piece of land is a sustainable mean of production that families and communities depend on for their livelihoods.
Another repercussion of the bauxite boom in Guinea is the increasing health risks related to the damage the industry causes to water resources and air quality.
Residents of mining areas stated to HRW officials that the exponential levels of mining have reduced both the quality and quantity of rivers in the area which are the main water resources for locals. In several cases, villagers are forced to rely on water tankers supplied by mining companies for drinking water.
On top of water pollution, bauxite mining also causes air pollution. The type of surface level mining used to extract bauxite from land involves substantial clearing and removal of land. This process causes high levels of air pollution, mainly because of the amount of dust it displaces.
This fine red dust that's a telltale sign of bauxite mining causes visual pollution and can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and skin. The negative effects of fine particles of dust, like the red dust of bauxite, are well documented, they can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Despite the current negative consequences Guinea's bauxite boom has the potential to be a blessing for the people of the country. In order for the curse to turn into a blessing, however, there needs to be both policy change on Guinea's government's side and taking responsibility on mining companies' one.

THREE COUNTIES CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 7th June 2018
Always a pleasure for me to judge this breed, lovely to look at and beautiful natures. I have to say that there are some very good movers and good front actions - a rarity in some breeds. However, I felt that quite a few dogs were carrying too much weight - fat is not substance - and often their toplines and movement suffered because of this excess weight. Many thanks to my stewards, Linda Cooper and David Milnes.
Puppy Dog (1 entry, 1 absentee)
Junior Dog (2 entries)
1st Green's Matthias' Durrbachler Wald At Waldershelf (Imp Nld). 14 months, lovely young dog of excellent proportions and a very good mover, well boned with good chest and ribbing. Very good head and eye. Ccarried himself well with firm topline, impressed me a lot and I think he will have a very good future and was not far from the top today.
2nd Cooke & Stevens' Tickbern Vagabond. 13 months, slightly smaller dog with excellent bone and a beautiful head and eye. Slightly straight in shoulder but with excellent upper arm, good mover. Not as firm in topline or as finished in chest as the winner.
Post Graduate Dog (5, 2)
1st Joseph Vom Durrbachler Wald At Arvella (Imp Nld). 21 months. Comfortable winner of this class. I'd prefer him with just a touch more leg to balance him but is full of type and with very good hocks and firm rear action. Good head and eye. Can firm a little in front.
2nd Butcher's Arvella Penny Pincher At Jenzobern. 22 months, of good proportions, has good substance and a firm rear. Eyes could be darker. A little wide in front action, high tail carriage detracts.
3rd Knight's Cullumbern Roman Road At Kernow.
Limit Dog (2, 1)
1st Baldwin's Meadowpark First Class For Fortonpark JW. 2 years, a very good mover which comes from excellent angulation at both ends. Good head and eye. Strong bone, a little lax for balance. I'd prefer a little more slope to the croup but he is full of quality. Won Reserve CC on maturity over the junior dog who pressed hard.
Open Dog (5)
1st Hartley-Mair & Dybdall's Ch Meadowpark High Class. 3 years, good winner of the class for his excellent movement and bone. I would prefer a little more body and shorter couplings. Masculine head, good eye, very light on his feet with long, accurate stride and firm topline. CC and Best of Breed.
2nd Cooke & Stevens' Tickbern Ridin High. 4 years, smaller dog who is very well constructed and with a beautiful head and eye. Good mover but topline a little soft.
3rd Bird & Bridges' Ch Ch Kernow Something ShCM.
Veteran Dog No entries
Puppy Bitch (3, 1)
1st Baldwin's Fortonpark Sez I'm Classy. 9 months, lovely proportions and topline. Sound in action, well ribbed back with good couplings. Feminine head which needs time to finish, scored in topline to take Best Puppy.
2nd Hartley-Mair's Meadowpark Touch Of Class. Almost 12 months, free striding and was more forward in the head than the winner. Soft in topline on the day.
Junior Bitch (5, 2)
1st Green's Waldershelf Much Luv Martha. 15 months, lovely type and with good proportions, well ribbed back. Excellent coat and colours. Good head proportions. I'd prefer a little more layback of upper arm but she uses herself well on the move and has excellent profile movement and carriage. A good prospect.
2nd Goodyear's Harvestbank Indian Summer. 14 months, good size and bone and ribbing but carrying a little too much weight which shows in her front action and topline.
3rd Oakaby's Iscabern Daffadowndilly.
Post Graduate Bitch (11, 4)
1st Flanagan's Collansues Precious Rock. 18 months, took my eye for her mouth, wonderful reach and drive and topline. Feminine quality bitch with lovely head. Well made throughout, sufficient bone, not yet fully developed in body but she appealed greatly and should have a good future.
2nd Miles' Jaybiem My My My. 2 years, scoring in her bone and big ribs and also a good mover but not quite the drive in rear. Another very good bitch who pressed the winner hard as she was more forward in rib and body, full of type.
3rd Bird & Head's Cullumbern's Roman Toga With Millermead JW.
Limit Bitch (9, 2)
1st Baldwin's Fortonpark Chasing Dreams. 2 years old, stood away here in great coat and condition, lovely proportions. Excellent head and beautiful almond shaped dark eyes. Very good bone, a little wide in front action but very good rear, profile and topline. CC.
2nd Page's Halesbern Star In The Skye. 2 1/2 years, won this place on her substance and finish of body over 3rd. Good proportions, lovely head and expression, not in her best coat and not as good in tail as the winner.
3rd Miles' Jaybiem Burli Shassi JW.
Open Bitch (8, 3)
1st Marsden & Robertson's Trudaleaze Majik Potion. 4 years, scored in her movement and firmness of topline. Excellent proportions, sufficient bone. Feminine head which needs a little more stop, lovely eye. Scored in front action and topline here. Won Reserve CC. Worthy of a title.
2nd Miles' Save Dallas Kiss For Jaybiem. 3 years, loved her for type and bone and ribbing and a very good head. Not quite as firm in her front action or topline but she is full of breed type. Another quality bitch.
3rd Baldwin's Fortonpark Lilly's Delight.
Veteran Bitch (2)
1st Flanagan's Collansues Rosebud. 7 years, a little low to ground accentuated by her carrying too much weight. Excellent free standing action. Very good head, scored in bone and movement here.
2nd Small's Malindi Beach Perfect Poseur. 8 years old, lighter type and needing more body on the day. Feminine head and good eye, not the front angulation or substance of the winner.

Biz2Credit Review
Need help finding a lender?
- Date Established
- 2007
- Location
- New York, NY
- Suited for small businesses
- Relaxed borrower requirements
- Relaxed credit score requirements
- Short application process
- 24-48 hours time to funding
- Potentially expensive terms & fees
- Some additional fees
Biz2Credit is a New York-based alternative lending platform that offers financing to small businesses. This company is a direct funder, but if its products don't work for you, Biz2Credit can also match you up with a financing product from its network of partner lenders. Through Biz2Credit, you might be eligible for a variety of funding options, such as working capital loans, SBA loans, lines of credit, or traditional business term loans. This company also offers a free financial assistant called BizAnalyzer and multiple funding calculators to help you understand your business financials.
To qualify for financing, you'll need to have at least six months in business and have solid revenue. While startups will have to look elsewhere for financing, Biz2Credit is a viable option for many young businesses. That said, as always, you'll want to comparison shop before committing to any kind of alternative loan. Our short-term funding comparison chart can give you a head start.
Table of Contents
Services Offered
Biz2Credit offers four types of financing:
- Working capital loans
- Merchant cash advances
- SBA loans
- Commercial real estate loans
Additionally, it offers lines of credit and term loans via its network of partners.
Borrower Qualifications
To qualify for financing through Biz2Credit or one of its partners, you'll generally need to be in business at least six months and have solid revenue. Biz2Credit will also look at your credit score, but a poor score will not necessarily disqualify you from funding.
In addition to offering financing for all merchants, Biz2Credit offers programs specifically to help women and minorities receive funding.
Terms & Fees
Because Biz2Credit offers many types of financing products, some in-house and some from lending partners, your rates and fees will vary depending on the financial products you qualify for.
In general, here's what you can expect when working with Biz2Credit:
|Borrowing Amount:
|$5,000 – $5 million
|Term Length:
|3 – 36 months
|Additional Fees:
|Possible underwriting fee, closing fee, or origination fee
|Varies by lender and product
|Varies by lender and product
Biz2Credit might be able to set you up with daily, weekly, or monthly repayments (depending on the financial product and the needs of the business). Repayments might be automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card sales. Check out our list of common fees for a more detailed breakdown of fees you might encounter.
In addition to interest or a factor rate, you might also have to pay an underwriting fee, closing fee, or origination fee, depending on the type of financing you are accepting. Biz2Credit does not charge application or submission fees — you won't have to pay anything unless you accept financing.
Here's a quick rundown of the products Biz2Credit might be able to set you up with:
- Working Capital Loans: Working capital loans are used to keep your everyday business operations up and running. They're generally short-term loans used to smooth out cash flow, handle seasonal sales fluctuations, or capitalize on other business opportunities.
- Merchant Cash Advances: Instead of getting a loan, you can sell a percentage of your future daily credit card sales to a funder. They'll then hold back a portion of your card sales every day until you've fulfilled the terms of your MCA.
- SBA Loans: Installment loans partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. These loans feature longer terms and better rates for businesses that may not otherwise qualify.
- Commercial Real Estate Loans: Loans used to build, purchase, or update a business's commercial space.
- Lines Of Credit: Lines of credit establish a credit limit that you can borrow against for the duration your account is open. You can draw on your line of credit as often as you want so long as the total amount you've borrowed doesn't exceed your credit limit.
- Installment Loans: Installment loans are, more or less, what you think of when someone says "loan." They usually have term lengths over a year long, are paid monthly, and accumulate interest over time.
Application Process
The major convenience offered by Biz2Credit is its quick and easy application process. You can find out how much you can borrow by submitting information about the amount you're seeking, your time in business, your annual revenue, and your credit score. The application generally takes about four minutes.
If you'd like some help, you can also begin the process through the site's chat feature. Spend more than a few moments there, and you'll be pinged by a representative who can answer your questions and take your information.
Biz2Credit will then match you to one of its funding products. If you're given multiple options, you can choose the product that best suits your needs. After that, your experience will differ depending on the financing product you choose. You may be asked to submit additional documentation at that time.
In best case scenarios, you can secure funding within 24 hours.
Sales & Advertising Transparency
Biz2Credit does a fairly decent job of disclosing the fees and terms of its service, especially through the FAQ and knowledge center. Just keep in mind that you won't know too much about the financing product you'll receive until much further down the process. The company also maintains accounts on Facebook, Twitter, G+, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
Customer Service & Technical Support
Biz2Credit provides a number of different methods of contact, including by phone, by email, by form, or through the site's integrated LiveChat. The LiveChat can be a little aggressive, but it's an easy way to ask questions.
User Reviews
Negative Reviews & Complaints
Biz2Credit has an A+ rating with the BBB, although it isn't formally accredited. There are 7 complaints from the last three years, however. Negative factors associated with the company include:
- Communication Issues: A number of complaints center around customer confusion about application processes, credit checks, and fees.
- Hard Pulls On Credit: Biz2Credit eventually requires a hard pull on your credit, which several customers found to be burdensome.
- Expensive: Combined with the direct cost of the loans, you will be paying a premium for Biz2Credit's assistance.
Positive Reviews & Testimonials
Biz2Credit's reviews are overwhelmingly positive on Trustpilot. User reviews praised:
- Customer Service: The vast majority of reviews praised the customer service. Most found it to be fast, flexible and headache-saving.
- Breadth Of Products: Biz2Credit works with a variety of different types of lenders, granting access to a broad variety of financial products.
- Speed: Many customers were pleased with how quickly they received their funding.
Final Verdict
If you're 1) not scared away by the fees, 2) short on time, and 3) have a business at least six months old with solid revenue, you may find Biz2Credit to be a useful service. Some borrowers might receive somewhat high terms and fees (in comparison to low-cost financing such as a bank loan), depending on what financial products they qualify for. However, if you don't qualify for lower-cost financing, or need a loan fast, Biz2Credit offers an easy to use service, and most businesses will find something that suits their financial needs.
If you're looking for alternatives, take a look at our comparison charts for merchant cash advances and small business loans.

Tobago: 5 places to visit on vacation
Tobago is the smaller island of two Caribbean islands called Trinidad and Tobago. I am a born citizen of Trinidad and once a year my sisters and I visit this little paradise. You can get to the island either by boat or plane. We always travel by boat because, the scenery is far more beautiful and exciting than traveling by plane. It took us one hour to get there. We got off the boat in Scarborough. The boat harbor is situated here.Olodumaretouch
Adventure to Peechon Cove
I have lived in Trinidad and Tobago all my life and I have yet to discover all of its interesting places. Peechon Cove is one such place; a hidden gem among the many hiking spots on the island. Until a few weeks ago, I did not know such a place existed! My adventure to Peechon Cove started with a long drive along Trinidad's North Coast Road, then a visit to Maracas Bay for refreshments before arriving at the hiking trail. The trail is located within the Maracas Forest which features exotic vegetation and many tropical insects. The trail leads to an isolated inlet which boasts picturesque turquoise water, a pebbly beach, and cool sea breezes. This inlet is called Peechon Cove.Kristy Khem
Why Tobago?
Trinidad and Tobago, the southern most islands of the Caribbean archipelago, offer the perfect blend of sun, sand and sea and is every eco-tourist's dream. For us Trinis, (those of us born in Trinidad), Tobago is our go to holiday spot no matter the time of year. Whether it's for a relaxing getaway, a glamorous wedding or a fantastic beach party, Tobago never fails to deliver on fun-filled, memorable moments that leave you coming back for more, which is why the United Nations has dubbed it "The Happiest Island in the Caribbean."Farrah Pereira

The John Whitney Historical Association met in Independence, Missouri, this weekend. This conference is an intimate gathering of those dedicated to study of the restoration faiths which arose from the teachings of Joseph Smith. Though I was only a second-time attendee, I still felt like I was returning to a gathering of friends and family.
Amidst this group, the struggles between factions of the "Mountain Saints" (~16M strong, who look to Salt Lake City for guidance) gain context as we embrace the similar struggles experienced by the "Prairie Saints" (~250K strong, who gathered to the banner of Joseph's sons) and the "Sylvan Saints" (~20K strong, those who looked to Sidney Rigdon and then William Bickerton). We visited the Temple Lot and surrounding buildings of disparate denominations of Church of Jesus Christ (via covered wagon). It becomes clear that Joseph's legacy spawned a diversity of religious expression peopled by good and earnest individuals.
I had the pleasure of presenting in a session with Brian Hales, who critiqued the various attempts to explain how Joseph Smith could have created the Book of Mormon. Brian's presentation clarifies that the (vast and numerous) critics of the divine origin story of the Book of Mormon have failed to produce an explanation that doesn't also require an overwhelming level of magical thinking.
I presented regarding the Women's Statements of May 1842, discussing how and why these accounts of seduction were suppressed and then redacted when published.
It was a pleasure fielding questions with Brian Hales, who obviously is an expert in his own right with respect to Nauvoo plurality. But he was delighted when someone finally asked a question that didn't focus on "polygamy."
Next year's JWHA Conference will be held in September 2019 in New York. If you wish to get a Mormon History fix before that, plan to attend the Mormon History Association Conference June 2019 in Salt Lake.

The difference between Content and Context is a -Tent and a -Text.
Content – the wonderful stuff that makes up the internet. You create Content by simply using the internet. Monetize enough of your Content with Swomi Flyers to pursue your dream life and you're living the Content Lifestyle. What does Content look like? Images, videos, texts, opening an email...any action you do online is Content.
Now meet Context. If Content is the Stuff that fills up the internet, then Context is the house to put all that Stuff! For example, Content can exist on a website, a blog, your smartphone, a desktop, as voice search, virtual reality, augmented reality, and more.
Actually the play between context and content is how memes are created. Memes change the meaning of an image by adding a caption.
This image...
...probably looks a lot different from this image.
Image: lolzombie.com
Same content. Different context.
How To Make Content And Context Work For You
1. Rehash your best performing content
Image: fourdots.com
Look back in your archives, some Content sticks out more than others for being surprisingly well performing.
Take those top-performing pieces of content and transform them. Did you have an infograph that gained 500 Facebook shares?
Take the content in that infograph and create a video out of it.
Was one of your blog posts clicked on more than 10,000 times?
Turn that blog post into a series of bite-size, shareable quotes for social media using Canva. This helps give your audience more of what they already like. Plus it eases up the amount of content you need to create from scratch.
2. What Does Your Design Say About You?
What kind of experience do you want your visitors to have when they interact with your brand? Fun? High-End? Serious?
The design of your blog can change how your content is perceived. Marshall McLuhan explains in his book The Medium Is The Message that how Content is delivered directly affects meaning.
Certain symbols carry different connotations because those symbols are used over and over again. 3D generated graphics carry a very web 1.0 look. While flat, minimal designs say "I am a contemporary and on-trend." Design acts as a visual analogy for a structure's function.
3. Where Is Your Audience?
The shift from desktop to mobile is a huge context shift occurring as we speak. More than half of all online users are on smartphones. Because of this, more vertical-format videos are created to accommodate mobile viewing. Many companies, like Snapchat, don't even have desktop versions.
Maybe your audience has gone voice search crazy. According to research, the world is going in the direction of voice search. Less typing on search engines and more speaking to voice-assistants. This is a drastically different context.
Because it is an auditory context, content needs to be highly personalized as people will only receive one answer from their voice-assistant. This is a huge contrast to scrolling through millions of search results.
Word Up:
Wherever your audience may be, Swomi automated technology finds your audience and connects them to your brand. Try one of our Swomi Flyers today!

12 November 2012 Archived
The discovery of two exceptional paintings by Maggie Laubser, one out of the public eye for 80 years, is creating great interest amongst art lovers and collectors in anticipation of Strauss & Cos upcoming auction to be held at the Vineyard Hotel, Newlands, on 4 February 2013.
Laubser's Portrait of a Girl with Geese (estimated to fetch between R1 500 000 – 2 000 000) and Still Life with Poppies (R350 000 – 500 000) are both examples of her early and much sought-after works. Both have been in the same family for several generations. The former was acquired from the 1930 exhibition organised by the Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurverenigings in Stellenbosch while the still life was purchased from the artist by Professor Pieter van Braam, Professor of Classics at Stellenbosch University.
Portrait of a Girl with Geese is one of the loveliest examples of the artist's work ever to come on the market. The placement of the head to the left of centre, with her eyes looking to the right focuses our attention on the appealing child with her sweet features and directs us to the geese, creating an harmonious composition replete with the tranquillity and wholesomeness of the country life that Maggie so adored.
Born on the farm, Bloublommetjieskloof, Laubser developed a deep love of nature and a respect for all living things which is clearly communicated in her best paintings. After living and working on Lake Garda in Italy for two years, she returned to South Africa in 1920 before taking up residence in Berlin for a further two years, where she came into contact with the German Expressionists. In 1924 she was back home, settling on the farm Oortmanspost, near Klipheuwel in the Malmesbury District. There she began to develop her distinctive pastoral themes, often including portraits of the labourers and their families, contextualised within their milieu.
Laubser described her approach to her subject in an article published in Die Huisgenoot in 1939:
"I study it closely ... Then I have my impression and I'm free to paint. I must be free to paint; I feel bound if I have to repeatedly view the scene – then I lose my own vision of it. The painting must appear in the artist's innermost being with consciousness of colours, forms and lines. We call this memory, but it is more than memory: it is the image that lives in your own consciousness, different for every person, alive as a bird, but unknown. No person can paint according to rules; it is a joy of the heart, a personal awakening" (translated by the author).
Still Life with Poppies, painted in 1920, can be compared with the paintings of Post-Impressionists like Vincent van Gogh who aimed to communicate their inner vision through the simplification of form and intensified colour. The painting is animated with bold colour contrasts, strong faceted forms and playful reflections. Paintings of such superb quality and provenance, with documented exhibition histories and literature, rarely come to the market these days.
Strauss & Co is still accepting fine art for the February auction until 30 November. With its successful sell-through rate of over 85% and its very reasonable commission, interested sellers are expected to consign many more top quality items. Art connoisseur and doyen of the auction world, Stephan Welz, will be in Cape Town to provide valuations on Wednesday 28 November. To make appointments with Mr Welz, please contact Ann Palmer or Emma Bedford on 021 683 6560.

Integrating the Human Right to Water With PPP Agreements
At the WaterDays conference taking place this week in Tunisia, WaterLex's Moez Allaoui spoke about how to integrate the human right to water and sanitation with public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Allaoui gave a brief history of the human right to water and sanitation as well as PPP agreements, and described relevant legal precedents and obligations of states, companies, and civil society organisations. See notes from his 5 Nov. presentation (PDF in French).
The conference, entitled "Water Days: International Conference on Clean Water Governance," and part of the International Forum on Water in Africa and the Middle East, takes place at Hotel Le Palace Gammarth in Tunis, 4-6 November (see the programme).
In addition to Allaoui, who serves as WaterLex's senior legal adviser and MENA programme manager, speakers at the event include Tunisian Minister of Agriculture Lassaad Lachaal; United Nations representative Mounir Thabet; Ambassador of Finland Tanja Jääskeläinen; and Ambassador of Japan Juichi Tkahara.

It has been thought for many years that hurricanes intensify as they cross the Gulf Stream. Through looking at archived track maps, it has been determined statistically that this intensification is not significant next to the actual strength of the storm. To determine why this occurs, the physical processes that control this phenomenon will be examined.

Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: First Build Infinity Mirror Eyes
Used laser cutter at Fab Lab San Diego to cut 4 x 2 1/4 inch 2 way circle mirrors. Took RGB LED strips and used 3M double sided sticky tape . placed the LED strip down the middle then rolled the tape onto the edges of both mirrors at the same time.
Step 2:
Testing both eyes.
So the base control and parts are from AdaFruit.com also the code. Please check them out They havelots of cool stuff.
Step 3: Modify the Mask.
bought the mask at my local Party City
cut out the eye mesh and use hot glue to replace the eyes with the infinity mirrors.
Step 4:
Step 5: Make the Body
s I used a blue foam sleeping mat, cut out the tie first then used it to make a piece to cover the seam . did rough measurement with a yardstick around my shoulders and used that measurement to cut the length of the mat. then used hot glue to join the ends to make a tube, then glued the tie on to cover. After that I layed the tube on a flatened piece of foam and cut out the top glued it to top of tube then cut out arme holes. I measured down from the top edge 2 1/2 inches (top edge) down 3 inches(middle of arm hole) and another 3 inches ( bottom of arm hole). went back to the middle mark then used a 3 inch measurement in all directions to make a 6 inch hole.
primed it with black spray paint inside and out, then dry brushed with large 2 inch paint brush in 4 layers starting with red hull, copper, gold, then silver.
Tie and collar was just red hull then silver ,
added the electro-luminescent blue string on later to ty to makeit look like a vest or formal jacket.
Step 6: Other Things to Come
eventualy I will make arms and legs with LED's and more EL wire.

They are expected to learn the technical skills by six months. They are not expected to work alone and write their own papers, but they are expected to be able to do so.
Technicians are expected to consider themselves as a scientist, like any other member of the team.
Stipends may be given to undergraduate students who want to commit to a project in the lab, after they have spent three months with us.

A 20-year vision for a historic London Estate
2014 – 2016
Visions, Strategies & Masterplans

Vision for Mayfair & Belgravia, 2016
Grosvenor Estate
City of Westminster
In November 2014 Publica was commissioned to support Grosvenor in the process of developing the vision for the future of its historic London estate. The estate is Grosvenor's core asset, covering 300 acres of Mayfair and Belgravia in central London.
The vision articulates Grosvenor's aspirations for Mayfair and Belgravia in twenty years' time, painting a picture of the estate in 2035. It represents the first step in Grosvenor's ambitions to develop and sustain vibrant, mixed neighbourhoods across Mayfair and Belgravia.
The creation of the vision was a year-long collaborative process between Grosvenor and Publica. Developed iteratively, the vision was informed by several complementary strands of work undertaken between November 2014 and November 2015. Initially, this involved interviews, meetings and workshops with Grosvenor's staff and stakeholders and a review of Grosvenor's visioning process, materials and outcomes to date.
Grosvenor commissioned Publica to develop this vision to guide and challenge Grosvenor and its partners, customers and stakeholders to secure the success of Mayfair and Belgravia at the heart of a changing world city. It is defined and articulated in seven principles for the future that are presented alongside a set of illustrative vision drawings.
Fieldwork, surveys and studies
In spring 2015, Publica undertook a survey of Grosvenor's London estate to better understand its character, identity, issues and opportunities. Encompassing both on-site fieldwork and desk-based research, this contextual and spatial analysis helped to ensure the vision's outcomes would respond to the specific neighbourhood conditions of Mayfair and Belgravia. The baseline appraisal of the estate was further complemented by several detailed studies, identified by Grosvenor and commissioned from Publica in summer 2015.
In autumn 2015, Publica convened a panel of experts to help Grosvenor test and inform the emerging vision for Mayfair and Belgravia. This day-long, roundtable event brought together a range of experts working across the fields of urban design, transport, planning, housing, retail, architecture, technology, green infrastructure and sustainability.
Atlas of Mayfair and Belgravia
Publica's survey and research was collated into the Atlas of Mayfair and Belgravia, a publication that outlines a set of key research findings, a photographic essay, an atlas of maps, a detailed studies of particular locations that serve to illustrate estate-wide conditions, and outcomesof the round-table event.

Palmerston Atoll, Cook Islands
Update #21 - Part 2
Our 193 nautical mile passage to Palmerston from Aitutaki took us 2 ½ days due to light winds. We motored the last two hours when the wind completely died and we knew it would be another night at sea if we didn't get the engine going. We so much prefer to sail but it sure is nice to have the option of motoring. All three boats that left Aitutaki the same day as us were in the anchorage. One boat had planned to go straight to Niue but decided they'd rather stop off at Palmerston than motor for an additional two days.
As we neared the atoll a local fishing boat came out to meet us. As the pass has a depth of less than four feet all four of us sailboats anchored just outside. Our soon-to-be host, Edward, directed us where to drop our anchor. He then came aboard to introduce himself. It is apparently somewhat of a race among the locals to come out first to the "yachties" and therefore be designated as the host family. Edward met up with each boat as it came in and therefore all nine of us had the same host family. Each morning Edward would call us on the radio and ask us what time we wanted to come in. Since the pass can get pretty hairy at times he provided transportation to and from the island for all of us. We usually went in between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning and returned back to our boats around 7 pm. Tuesday and Wednesday Edward's wife, Shirley, prepared a lunch at 2 pm for the nine yachties, her two sons, husband and brother-in-law. Once again the visitors were served first and only after us did the family help themselves. Our fist day we were introduced to parrotfish. Not only is it a beautiful fish but it's also a wonderfully tasty white fish. We also enjoyed lobster as Edward and Eric, one of the cruisers, went lobster hunting the night before and caught 6 lobsters. We also ate chicken which looked like it too had just been caught the night before or even possibly that morning. It was quite a wonderful feast!
The guys from the boats helped out with repairs around the island, mainly working on a motorcycle, multiple computers, VCR's, and generator. As supply ships are few and far between there we brought ashore fresh fruits and veggies from Aitutaki along with staples such as butter, soy sauce, toilet paper and canned goods.
Palmerston is a very unique island. It was made famous by Englishman William Marsters who settled there in 1863 with two Cook Islands "wives". He later "married" a third Cook Islands woman (cousin to the other women) and raised a large family. Marsters' modern day descendents are scattered all over the world. There are currently 67 of them living on the island, more than half of whom are children. I use quotes to refer to wives and marriage because the three families still exist and there is disagreement between them as to whether the second and third women were actually his wives or just girlfriends. You can imagine who thinks what!!! The people were so friendly and open, sharing their background and answering many curious questions. It was so interesting! The three families actually have designated areas on the motu as well as the other surrounding motus. They do however interact regularly and seem to really enjoy one another's company, something we understand wasn't always the case in the past.
Our first day on the island we went over to meet a woman known as Mets. She and her husband built an area known as the yacht club. She invited the women over to see how she makes tye-dye pareos and shell jewelry. We brought some cloth and shells ashore. After making one pareo (wrap-around cloth used to clothe many of the pacific islanders) she showed us all the pareos she had made and insisted we each choose one we liked. We each found one that matched our bathing suits and mine has Palmerston written on it. After lunch with Edward and Shirley we met up with Mets and learned how to make shell jewelry. I brought some shells ashore I had found in the Tuamotus. We had so much fun. This was repeated the next day and I had some one-on-one time with Mets while everyone else was off playing volleyball. Mets is originally from Aitutaki and her husband, Bill, is a direct descendent to William Marsters and his original wife. They have three children ages 9 months, 2 and 4 years old. Bill and Mets were so generous. They actually have two washing machines brought in from New Zealand (the first we've seen since Mexico!) and invited us to bring any laundry ashore to wash. They also built new bathrooms which are very nice and include two hot showers!!! Both the machines and showers were built specifically to accommodate the yachties coming through. Talk about hospitality!!! I did end up bringing a load of California King sheets and a duvet cover ashore. Try getting those clean in a bucket! It's amazing the things you appreciate when you're cruising!
Met was also eager to have Sam and me over for lunch. We told her we'd love to but were unsure if we'd be able to depending on the weather situation. A system was coming through and the anchorage, with no protection, was itself like being in a washing machine! We loved the people so much our stay was extended despite the unappealing boat motion.
Our third day there a "School Day" was put together as a fundraiser. Most of the island is planning to go to New Zealand in November to tour different colleges. This is in an effort to encourage further education among the children. A New Zealand woman came to the island last year and acts as the teacher and principal. The remarkable thing is that her uncle is a Marster and her husband is from the Marster lineage as well! Fascinating!
Anyhow, I baked some American chocolate chip cookies for the occasion. Actually I made them and then baked them on a friend's boat! All of the food there was sold to raise money. We also paid to participate in games which included ping-pong, darts and a card game called Euchre. Thanks to Mom and Dad Peterson I've had a bit of practice with darts and thanks to my sister Janet who came to visit in June, we both knew what the heck Euchre was and some idea of how to play. While the games were fun, the best part was getting to know the people. The whole village was there, taking place right after school let out. The games extended into three days because of the laid-back atmosphere. It was so neat. We'd walk up and immediately a bunch of kids would yell, "Hi Sam and Sally!" We stayed the longest of our group and really got to know the people there. We also stayed long enough to fall in love with a little girl named Julia and, given the option, probably would've adopted her in a heartbeat. Sam and I were actually talking about after the fact that we'd probably adopt any of those kids but thanks to the amazing close knit families there that would never be necessary. Julia is part of a family of six kids along with her parents, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-grandaunt. Mind you, everyone on the atoll is related in some way! Sam's brother is working with orphans in Kenya and we now understand what he meant when visiting us in Zihuatanejo, Mexico said he misses his kids. We spent our three day passage to Beveridge Reef wishing we had stayed longer and plotting how we might return for a visit someday. We're sincerely hoping to meet up with them in New Zealand in November. Julia and her entire family will be there, God willing.
Our last full day there we did have lunch with Mets and her family. She made parrotfish and chips, lamb chops with veggies and gravy, potato salad, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, taro root and I can't even remember what else! She actually made extra and set two more plates in case the new boat which arrived that morning wanted to join us. She also made extra so we would have some to take with us for our upcoming passage. Their generosity and thoughtfulness was overwhelming!
In summation of our trip to Palmerston what was so overwhelmingly wonderful for us was how quickly we were welcomed into their lives and homes and treated as family. We will miss this second home dearly and they will always hold a special place in our hearts.
All for now.
Sam and Sally

Every gay man has a friend (or knows someone who has a friend) that, despite evidence pointing to the true nature of his sexuality, identifies as bisexual. It can seem quite odd hearing this friend (whom we sense with forbidding-certainty swings the gay way) confess his bisexuality. In moments like this, we might find ourselves raising our wall of cynicism; mount concrete evidence in our mind that suggest our friend is only playing the bisexual card because of a self-interested desire to blend in with tales of normality. But, in doing so, we risk ignoring the beneficial value of an idea our now bisexual friend has come to own all too well.
Perhaps he said it under an avocado tree, where you both sat. Rustling of green leaves as they swayed in the wind filled your mind with bliss. But reality's unpleasant tune snatched the heavenly feeling from you when, as a conversation gathered momentum, your friend let the following words escape his lips: 'I'm actually bisexual'.
It's supposed to mean nothing, really. But the manner with which our friend's new life detail rests with us lacks consistency with the records we have of his life. Surely he has a girlfriend, but everyone knows she serves only as cover from the pry of those who reside in non-homosexual territories. She is only there because she has always been there, the girl thrust onto his life by happenstance. Our records show his sexual conquest. All are rife with stories showing his romantic engagement with men, events which lit up his soul at the times when they happened and trailed mutual hours-stretching conversations. How was it now possible to lay the detail of his bisexuality against the backdrop of everything pointing to his homosexuality?
We might scoff at our friend's lack of a moral backbone. This is what the desire to be accepted as normal has reduced him to, we might think: a liar. All the stories that trail him insist he can't play the straight card but the bisexual card is there for the taking because it offers explanation to his sexcapades with men, while allowing ample space for tapping into a narrative considered normal.
However, to reason along this line is to ply a profitless route, for it demands access to what lies beyond reach: first hand knowledge of what resides within the mind of another person. It would serve us better to look in the birthplace of what comes across to us as lies. Asking why-is-X-lying is a graduation from X-is-lying, for the former entertains the possibility that our bisexual friend tells the truth. Dismissing our friend as morally impoverish because he plays a card that increases his chances of acceptance needn't be exercised.
Our tendency to latch on to cynicism comes at a cost. It means failure to engage fully with other people, sometimes those we love. The bit worthy of curious engagement is the idea that motivates anyone who tends to demonstrate a value for acceptance. The insight our gay-bisexual friends have that us 'authentic' folk think dirty is that, it serves to keep the truest version of ourselves away from the awareness of others because bits of us can get in the way of (things we might consider) the greatest good. Gay guys who announce themselves bisexuals are alive to the fact that we live in a world where a majority of those who reside outside of our bodies will never understand us. And while engaging with those in the world, we might need to shield them from the atrocities that reside within the core of our beings. For example, we may feel a desire to slap our shouting boss but never dare to; a friend's new born baby might look like a freshly birthed goat but we would never voice our true thought; we may feel like sleeping with our new straight friend who happens to be married but defer from sharing our inside fantasies with him. Our place isn't to shun 'lying' gay bisexuals. It is to recognize the value of acceptance and empathize with why it may feel needful to bend oneself to attain it.
Of course lying is for cowards. But the litmus through which we can test some truths comes designed by those who send it our way. Making peace with the truth that we will never know the full content of what lies in the minds of others is the first humane step in making peace with our bisexual friends. Not because we believe that they are telling the truth but because they have served us their own truth and in most cases need us to believe them. Gay bisexuals deserve recognition for they are attuned to the fact that we occupy this world with others. We needn't accord them disbelief, even when they send us a version of their truth under an avocado tree. We need to let our gay friends play the bisexual card as much as they need to, lest they continue to remain weary of a truth we so desperately need them to know: we accept them for all that they are.
You are Awesome.

If you were to ask the average American high school student if he or she needs to learn a foreign language they would probably respond with "No, everybody speaks English these days." Really?
Why Homeschool Students Should Study Foreign Languages
Exposure to Other Cultures
Getting kids to understand the importance of foreign language study can be difficult. American culture can be a proud one where we think the world should follow us instead of us reaching out to the world. One way to change that perspective around is with exposure. American young people need to see the world. The best experience I had as a teenager was going on a mission trip to Bolivia. My eyes were opened as I saw how other people thrived with less while living out true gratitude. I was forced to communicate despite a language barrier and quickly became aware of how little Spanish I actually knew even after a few years of study.
More Competitive among their Peers
Go ahead and conduct an online search to see if learning a second language is important or not. I especially like what Leonardo De Valoes from Trinity Washington University has to say about how teaching your kids a new language early will make them more competitive among their peers in the future. Check out his article at: https://www.trinitydc.edu/continuing-education/2014/02/26/importance-of-language-why-learning-a-second-language-is-important/.
Enhance Homeschooling
Whether you take an international trip or just go to your city's public market, you can enjoy different languages. Enhance your homeschool experience by enjoying the amazing world we live in via language.
Ideas for Teaching Foreign Language to your Homeschool Student
Online Learning
When you are homeschooling, most of the subjects are probably familiar but foreign language study can be intimidating. You might think you can't do it because have a hard enough time with English, let alone a foreign language. However, there are options available even if you are not a fluent speaker.
Global Student Network (GSN) has a number of great opportunities for foreign language training. Apex, Odysseyware, Ignitia, Edmentum, and Accelerate offer French and Spanish. Looking for other world languages? GSN partners with Rosetta Stone to offer 24 world languages – practically any language you might want to learn at your fingertips!
Getting Started
A key element to foreign language study is hearing the language. We all learn as infants by hearing first. When I lived in Mexico I met a young lady who spoke English remarkably well. She had an almost flawless American accent which was unusual. So, I asked her how she learned English. Her answer was a surprise: watching movies. Wow! How cool is that? An easy and entertaining approach to getting started with learning a new language can be to get your kids to turn on the language options for a favorite movie. Listening to how another language sounds is essential to speaking it properly. There are CD's to check out at the public library which can help to understand how to pronounce words. Playing different CD's to see if your kids can guess which language is which might be a fun game. If your child is word smart (see Kathy Koch's book 8 Great Smarts at www.amazon.com) then just whetting the appetite by using a few fun games or movies might be a fabulous start to a love of new languages.
Sarah Brutovski is a homeschool mom of three children. She grew up just down the street from where she and her husband are raising their family now in rural Upstate New York. When she is not teaching her kids, grocery shopping, or drinking coffee you might find her training for a half marathon, escaping for a morning at the beach, or chatting on the phone with one of her four siblings. Sarah loves writing on her blog sarahswritingcafe.blogspot.com and currently teaches creative writing at her kids' weekly co-op.

Also if a solitary beauty treatment is failing to see; I do not think of that beauty salon to be qualified or trustworthy.

Skipjack Herring (Alosa chrysochloris)
Skipjack Herring (Alosa chrysochloris), listed as Endangered in Wisconsin, prefers open water, larger river lakes and channels below dams. They may congregate in swift currents below dams early in the year. This species have been caught in nearshore areas of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Spawning does not occur in Wisconsin waters.
State status
Status and Natural Heritage Inventory documented occurrences in Wisconsin
The table below provides information about the protected status - both state and federal - and the rank (S and G Ranks) for Skipjack Herring (Alosa chrysochloris). See the Working List Key for more information about abbreviations. Counties shaded blue have documented occurrences for this species in the Wisconsin Natural Heritage Inventory database. The map is provided as a general reference of where occurrences of this species meet NHI data standards and is not meant as a comprehensive map of all observations.
Note: Species recently added to the NHI Working List may temporarily have blank occurrence maps.

Species guidance
Note: a species guidance document is not available at this time. Information below was compiled from publication ER-091.
Identification: Readily distinguished from other herrings by their elongate and much compressed body, silvery coloration, protruding lower jaw and the presence of teeth in both jaws. Adult length: 12-16 inches (30.5-40.7cm).
Habitat: Prefer clear, fast waters over sand and gravel in large rivers.
State Distribution: Mississippi River and lower St. Croix River. Nearly extirpated in Wisconsin. A map outlining Pre-1977 and 1997 to Present Distribution is available.
Phenology: A migratory species, skipjacks assemble below dams in spring (probably in an attempt to return upstream from the gulf or the lower Mississippi to spawn). They spawn from late April to mid June, during which time they can be captured by dip or throw nets.
Diet: Skipjacks eat plankton, minnows and larvae of mayflies and caddisflies. They feed in large schools, leaping out of the water while pursuing prey. This name-giving habit starts at dusk and continues until long after dark, when the skipping of many specimens is nearly impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Management Guidelines: Lock-and-dam structures hinder upstream migration of skipjacks during early spring. Few manage to get upstream since they are unable to negotiate the dams or to use bypassing canals. The skipjack is nearly extirpated from Wisconsin, along with the ebony shell (Fusconaia ebena ) and elephant ear (Elliptio crassidens), both state endangered mussels for which the skipjack is the sole host. Mussel larvae cling to the herring's gills until they mature. Two additional mussel species use the skipjack as a host, although not as exclusively as the ebony shell and elephant ear.

This score does not consider socio-economical factors that may dictate protection and/or management priorities differently than those determined solely by ecological analysis. Further, a low ecological priority score does not imply that management or preservation should not occur on a site if there are important reasons for doing so locally.
Issues/threats and conservation actions
Conservation actions respond to issues or threats, which adversely affect species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) or their habitats. Besides actions such as restoring wetlands or planting resilient tree species in northern communities, research, surveys and monitoring are also among conservation actions described in the WWAP because lack of information can threaten our ability to successfully preserve and care for natural resources.
