The Kyrene School District is warning parents that their schools are seeing an outbreak of whooping cough. The school district sent out a letter out to parents warning them about the outbreak.
It says there have been several cases, but no exact number was given. The recent outbreak has health officials concerned because they've seen the number of cases of whooping cough climb over the past few years. The Arizona Department of Health Services says they've seen more than 1,100 cases so far this year, compared to about 900 this time last year.Some schools in Tucson are taking action against the disease by banning kids who haven't been vaccinated for at least two weeks.Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is very contagious, especially for babies who are too young to be vaccinated. According to the CDC, people with whooping cough spread it by coughing or sneezing in close contact with others. A lot of the babies who ended up getting it are infected by parents, siblings or caretakers. "With pertussis, there's always cycles where it peaks every three to five years, but there's rise in waiting immunity that's been undiscovered with our pertussis vaccines. They're very effective in the first two years, we need to ensure that people are getting vaccinated," said Clarisse Tsang, with Arizona Department of Health Services.The Arizona Department of Health Services says they looked at all the cases of whooping cough that they've seen so far this year and believe most could have been prevented with vaccination.
Early symptoms can last one to two weeks and usually appear as nothing more than a common cold. Symptoms include runny nose, low grade fever and a mild occasional cough. Then as the disease progresses and you get fits of coughs followed by a high pitch whoop.
Other symptoms include vomiting and exhaustion.
The coughing fits can last for ten weeks.Whooping Cough information www.azdhs.gov www.cdc.gov/pertussis/

I love the idea of exploring urban decay.
Exploring abandoned castles and mansions in Europe? SO COOL.
Also, Ransom Riggs is just my new favorite person. He should do a collab with Decayed Richmond.
I love this. It's awesome, though I was a little disappointed with the book.

Max length of query ?

Hello !
Is there a maximum length a query can have ?
I just loaded a big SQL dump (about 105 Megabyte) into HeidiSQL. There was no error message but the Character counter above the query text field showed a length of "05.928.600 Characters".
There was no error message when executing the query so I think the formatting of the number is simply broken. Is this right or is there a real limit?

|That is most probably a minor graphical glitch - the label which displays this number is not wide enough to hold large numbers. I should set its AutoSize property to true I guess.

Dr. Rodney Barnajian's Ratings
He has several locations which makes it much easier for me because I'm constantly working out of the office in several cities. He's very caring. I had a horrible headache that just wouldn't go away. He showed me how it was caused by a misaligned vertebrae in my neck. So then he gave me an adjustment and I felt better immediately. I still go to him whenever the pain comes back and he is always there for me. I recommend Dr. Rodney to everyone.

Little wonder why they delayed the mandate, huh? In fact, many employers already cut back part-time hours to make sure none of those employees touch 30 hours. That's because 2013 was initially set as the "look back" period to determine whether employees are entitled to coverage. And as employers say these requirements will mean job losses, union leaders recently complained to Congressional leaders about this "incentive to cut hours."
It seems obvious from this and other surveys that employers have no intent of doing any serious expansion with the cloud of uncertainty that is the Affordable Care Act hanging over their head.
Correction: an earlier version of this post said union leaders complained to the administration; they complained to congressional leaders.

Don't pay to search for 'lost' money
In one recent year, people claimed $2.25 billion they hadn't realized was owed to them. Unclaimed money is easy to find if you know where to look.
This post comes from Angela Colley at partner site Money Talks News.
How do you spend commercial breaks? Checking your email? Playing Candy Crush Saga on Facebook? Why not spend it doing something productive like hunting for treasure?
You can by searching online for unclaimed money that's owed to you. While it may seem unlikely, 2.5 million claims involving $2.25 billion were processed in 2011, returning the money to its rightful owners, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. That's a lot of people receiving checks they hadn't realized they were owed.There are dozens of websites promising to help you search for and claim missing money in exchange for a fee. Other businesses may contact you directly by mail or telephone saying you are owed money and offering to collect it for a fee.
They're accessing the same information you can obtain yourself for free online.
So don't pay for a search. And don't give out your personal information. Play it safe and stick with the websites we identify below.
What goes missing
A missing property search can find money from a variety of sources, including:
- Matured and uncollected bonds.
- Uncollected pension checks.
- Rebate checks from retailers or manufacturers.
- Leftover money from failed banks or closed accounts.
- Earnings from stocks.
- Insurance checks
Whenever a company or some other entity that owed you money couldn't get in contact with you, the money was turned over to the state. If you're thinking no one owes you anything, you might be surprised. I did a search for my name and found four unpaid rebates and two accounts I had overpaid and was due money back on.
Where to find it
Start by visiting the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators' site, unclaimed.org. From there, chose your location and you'll be redirected to your state's online money search. Enter a few personal tidbits and you'll automatically see a list of what you're owed. The NAUPA also maintains a database at MissingMoney.com.
You can also find unclaimed property on other sites like:
- Unclaimed Money from the Government -- Shows you where to find unclaimed pension money, tax refunds, mortgage insurance refunds and more.
- TreasuryDirect Treasure Hunt -- Finds matured bonds issued after 1974.
- FDIC Unclaimed Funds -- Search for money owed by failed banks.
- SEC Old Stock and Bond Certificates -- Not an online search, but does provide information on replacing a missing stock certificate.
What you'll need
To find out if there's unclaimed money in your name, you'll need to provide some basic personal information such as your full name and ZIP code and perhaps a previous address.
Getting the money will require submitting a form, which you can download and print. Once you mail the form, you should receive a check. However, your state agency may require documentation proving you are who you say you are, especially if you're seeking a large amount. Identification documents could include a state-issued ID, birth certificate, or proof of address (such as a lease, utility bill or letter from a landlord).
Have you had the marvelous surprise of learning that missing money is owed to you? Share your experience.

3 Fertilizer Companies Favoring Expansion
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: This article has been amended to more accurately reflect the details of Potash Corp's dividend and future plans. Motley Fool apologizes for the errors.
The world population is expected to increase from 7 billion in 2012 to about 7.2 billion in 2014. With the increase in population, the global demand for agricultural products is on the rise. To increase the quantity of the agricultural produce, the quality of soil needs to be enhanced by efficient farming practices. This creates a huge opportunity for fertilizer companies.
Looking at these opportunities in the agricultural sector, I have chosen three companies that are using advanced technologies to produce high quality fertilizers to increase their market share.
Creating a monopoly
Monsanto (NYSE: MON) and its rival DuPont (NYSE: DD) collectively hold more than half of the U.S. seeds market, amounting to $34 billion. Both companies entered into a new licensing deal in March 2013. This deal will create a monopoly in the seed industry, resulting in higher revenue for both. Under this deal, DuPont will pay a royalty of $1.75 billion for 10 years to Monsanto, and will get a license to sell its "Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield" in the U.S. and Canada by 2014. By 2015, DuPont will also be able to sell "Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Xtend," after it receives regulatory approval.
Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield is designed to provide farmers additional herbicide tolerant soybean, and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Xtend provides the highest production opportunity to produce more beans. Under the deal, Monsanto will also have access to DuPont's disease-resistant and corn-defoliation patents.
Monsanto generates 60% of its revenue from genetically modified organisms, or GMO seeds. In GMO, the DNA of a seed is modified to produce a high-yielding, fertile plant. The crops grown from GMO seeds are considered unhealthy, but the company has the shield of the Monsanto Protection Act, which prevents the U.S. government from banning the consumption of genetically modified crops.
The company's total revenue increased by 15% year-over-year to $5.47 billion in the quarter ending February 2013, which was mainly driven by the sales of GMO seeds in emerging markets like Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American countries. In a one-year period, the company has witnessed an increase of 14% in the total annual revenue of $13.5 billion in the fiscal year 2012, with the help of the GMO segment.
On the path of continuous growth
Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) is planning to take over Cargill, a privately owned company, from which Mosaic was split-off in 2011. Cargill has 286 million Mosaic shares, which include the 129 million shares owned by its Charitable Trust. Mosaic shares were allotted to the trust, with a lock-in period of two years, ending on May 26, 2013. After the end of the lock-in period, the takeover will be tax-free for both the companies and their shareholders. Mosaic has more than $7.3 billion cash available at present for the deal.
Cargill witnessed 1% year-over-year increase in its total revenue, amounting to $32.2 billion in the third-quarter of 2013, and had reported 12% year-over-year increase in revenue, which totaled $133.9 billion in the fiscal year 2012. The earnings of Mosaic's investors are expected to increase after the acquisition.
Furthermore, there is an expectation that Potash sales will rise to more than 2.3 million tons in the fourth quarter of 2013, from 1.8 million tons in the third quarter. This increase is driven by the global potash demand, most of which is coming from India and China. India has lowered its subsidy for potash, as the Indian currency is continuously falling. Still, the country cannot reduce its demand, as potash is needed for growing wheat, rice, and sugarcane, of which India is the second largest producer. In order to meet the growing demand, Mosaic has planned to spend $2 billion for expanding its production capacity of potash by 2 million tons every year at its Belle Plaine mine and Colonsay mine, located near Regina and Saskatoon.
The company is aiming to increase its production by 50% a year to 16.5 million tons by 2021. Mosaic has reported a 37% year-over-year increase in sales from the potash segment amounting to $758 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Concentration on increasing production
There is a rise in the global demand for potash, but the reduction in the Indian subsidy on potash will act as a headwind. This will partially be offset by the demand from North America to meet farmer's requirement during spring. Potash Corporation (NYSE: POT) expects demand to rise to more than 55 million metric tons, or MT, in 2013 from 51 million MT in 2012. With the expectation of increasing demand, the company increased its production of potash by 25% year-over-year, which amounts to two million tons, in the first quarter of 2013. The increasing demand of potash increased the total earnings by 13% year-over-year to $556 million in the first-quarter of 2013. The company expects potash sales to rise approximately to $3.59 billion in 2013 and $4.31 billion in 2014.
The increased demand brings tremendous opportunities for the company. With higher sales, Potash Corporation expects growth in its free cash flow, or FCF, from $624.78 million in 2012 to almost $1.6 billion in 2014. It has already declared a 25% increase in its quarterly dividend, amounting to $0.35 in the second quarter of 2013, payable on August 2, 2013. The annual dividend will amount to $1.40 per share in 2013. The dividend yield of the company is approximately 3.2%, which is higher in comparison to its peers like Mosaic with 1.6%, CF Industries Holdings with 0.8%, and Agrium with 2.2%.
Monsanto has entered into a deal with DuPont, where it will receive royalty for its technologically advanced fertilizers. Moreover, GMO continues to drive higher revenue for the company.
Potash Corporation plans to add capacity to meet the increasing demand of potash which will drive its revenue higher. Also, the expected higher cash flow in the future will help increase the returns to the investors.
I recommend buying all these three stocks.
With less and less arable land available around the world, increasing yields from existing plots could become vitally important to keeping up with expected population growth. Cheap and effective fertilizers could be the key to achieving this goal. As the global leader in potash production, PotashCorp has established several barriers to entry that make it nearly impossible for competition to break through. Click here now to access The Motley Fool's premium research report that covers precisely what these barriers to entry are and details several other key reasons why PotashCorp presents such a compelling investment opportunity today.

Looking for a New Bow
Bought a Matthews S2 two years ago after shooting nothing but Hoyt's for 12 years. A friend of mine who runs an archery shop in Columbus, GA talked me into buying it. The bow shot OK but I was never really comfortable shooting it, especially since I shoot my competition bow which is a Hoyt all the time. I don't think I have shot the S2 more than a couple hundred times and since my hunting has been nil since I moved to Ontario, Canada to be with my wife of 5 years. I just haven't had much reason to shoot it much since I can't find any local property to hunt. Something about crazy Americans with a southern accent just doesn't appeal to folks up here.
But have started the search for a new bow and I have a choice of Hoyt, Hoyt and Hoyt. I would love to have the new 35" axle to axle Maxxis but my wing span isn't long enough since the Maxxis only is for folks with draw lengths of 27 inches or longer. I suppose I can go with the AlphaMax but will probably go with the 32". I have always held to the rule of thumb that the longer the bow the more forgiving it is and more accurate at greater distances. For those of you who have experience with the 32" axle to axle AlphaMax does it shoot as well as the longer 35" AlphaMax?
well I shoot a Maxxis 31 and my draw is 28". Whats your draw length? Can you not change the cams over to suite your draw length? Oh yes welcome to Canada!! Don't give up tryin to find some properties to hunt there. Someone will let you! I'm over in BC and there is no shortage in hunting area here! Cheers and good luck to ya
Draw Length
John my draw length with the Matthews is 25.5 where with my Hoyt it is 26. I do admit to shooting my Ultratec for competition more than I shoot the S2 and that's probably the reason I am uncomfortable shooting the Matthews. Other Matthews I have shot I felt the same way with primarily because I didn't like the feel of the Matthews grip. I did solve that issue by replacing the grip with a Shrewd's grip and that certainly helped. For some reason though I just cannot really get comfortable shooting that S2, it's probably just mental. So bottom line is somebody is going to get a nice bow which has been shot very little minus the accessories for a great price.
Well i wish you good luck on finding that one bow. I tried quite a few bows before i found mine.
I bought my 32" last year after trying a z7 and simply love it. I shot 5 deer with it, one being a high 140's 10 pt and none went further than 50 yards. The solid hold, steadiness, and speed all add up to a super bad combo for a fury animal of choice. I also have a short draw of 28" and it fits great. Take it as a lesson learned and don't stray from the "Hoyt". Good luck

Berkeley's second Coffee & Tea Festival leaves a buzz
The second annual Berkeley Coffee & Tea Festival took place on Saturday morning at the Hotel Shattuck and, if you attended, you're probably only now coming down from the caffeine- and sugar-induced buzz it induced.
Hundreds of people wandered the hotel's elegant ballroom and exterior patio, sampling espresso drinks and fine teas, miniature bundt cakes, chocolate bites and gelato… not a bad way to spend a lazy weekend morning, many participants agreed.
The Coffee & Tea Festival was orchestrated by the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce and included a program of talks, and both coffee and tea ceremonies. Exhibitors included Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Café V, Twenty Twenty Studios, Madecasse Chocolate, Genuto Gelato, Jade Chocolates, Five Mountains, Café Clem, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Tisano Tea. … Continue reading »

Iron is a good mineral that brings oxygen where it should be in the internal parts of the human body. Growing up, we were told to eat more foods rich in iron to avoid Anemia – a condition where red corpuscles are lesser than white corpuscles in the blood. Little did we know that there's also a condition that is caused by iron overload. The ways on how to lower your iron levels will become invaluable when confronted by this circumstance.
Hemochromatosis is a dangerous condition where iron is stored in high levels to the point that it becomes toxic. Since most of us are aware of how to increase iron levels, we just have to do the reverse to lower it. Most of the methods are purely lifestyle modifications. There are also supplements that can be administered to regulate the high levels of iron. Your doctor may advise you of the following:
Take protein substitutes that are not rich in iron. Instead of the usual red meat, opt for black or white meats. Cease eating liver. Eliminate or lessen consumption of eggs, fresh or canned tuna and chicken.
If you can't help taking some heavy iron sources, add milk or pekoe and black tea into your meal to decrease or block iron absorption. There are more foods that bind to iron and some are even called iron blockers. Egg yolks and soy products are iron blockers. They contain elements that hinder iron absorption.
Prioritize a high-fiber diet over animal produce. Eating no less than 35 grams daily is enough for an adult to lower iron levels. Non-heme iron from plants is not highly absorbable. Your body will be safe having enough iron to maintain the body's vigor and, at the same time, unthreatened by the risk of iron overloading. There are many vegetables and fruits that are abundant with fiber. You just have to take your pick.
Get a prescription from your doctor for supplements like calcium and antacids. They stop the rise of iron levels because they are iron-binding substances. Never do self-medication with these drugs because they must be balanced with your actual condition. Dosages and frequencies must be planned so as not to cause iron deficiency. Only doctors can make a proper estimation based on your physical status.
In many cases, the main cause of iron overload is hereditary haemochromatosis. It is a genetically inherited condition. If the natural methods to lower iron levels are not met, repeated blood transfusions may be necessary. Aside from being uncomfortable, this is a traumatic experience that can reoccur– lessening the quality of life.
Learning how to lower your iron levels is very practical to do when iron overloading is not yet chronic. It is advisable to submit yourself to a regular schedule of phlebotomies or bloodletting if you suspect that you have inherited the disease. If you have something against frequent blood draws, opt to use a chelating agent to check your status. Once diagnosed with chronic iron overload, you will be required to facilitate subcutaneous daily injections every eight to 12 hours.

Hussein Chalayan: Fashion Narratives opens to the public at Paris' Musée des Arts Décoratifs today. Last night, Betony Vernon, Catherine Baba, sponsor Nadja Swarovski, and the fashion intelligentsia gathered to raise a glass to the avant-garde designer in the museum's Salon des Boiseries. Curator Pamela Golbin has gathered highlights from 18 years of Chalayan's collections. "I feel lucky to be an independent designer having a show here," he said. "The next one is Louis Vuitton; that's like comparing yourself to Bank of America." When Chalayan was told that the exhibition made some in the crowd nostalgic for the days of his big idea productions (wooden coffee-table skirts, robodresses that morphed decades in seconds), he asked, "Do you want to sponsor one?" Interested parties should speak up. After two seasons of video presentations, he said, "I'm thinking of doing a show for Spring."
Over near La Madeleine, Elisa Sednaoui, Margherita and Teresa Missoni, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, and other fashion jet-setters crowded into Caviar Kaspia for a dinner in honor of Giambattista Valli and his first-ever Couture show. "I'm so proud of you," the evening's host, Bianca Brandolini d'Adda, told the designer in Italian, going in for a big kiss. "When I saw the three finale dresses," she continued, "I cried." Valli, for his part, reported, "I feel liberated." He and model Kinga Rajzak both. The coral- and jet-beaded cocktail dress she wore on the catwalk reportedly weighed upward of 20 pounds.

Shellfish gatherers no longer need to wear license
of Sunday, July 22, people harvesting shellfish or seaweed
are no longer required to display their fishing licenses
on their clothing.
The law requiring those harvesters to display their licenses on their outer garments was repealed by the 2007 Legislature at the request of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
That requirement, first passed into law in 1979, was designed to allow enforcement officers to scan an entire beach for fishing-license violations, said Bruce Bjork, WDFW chief of enforcement. "The requirement had some value for enforcement purposes, but it could be a hassle for clam diggers and other harvesters – especially if they lost their license during harsh weather," Bjork said. "It really makes more sense to focus on individual contacts."
Bjork emphasized that shellfish and seaweed harvesters are still required to carry current fishing licenses when harvesting those resources. "The new law eliminates the need to display your shellfish or seaweed license on your clothing, but other licensing rules remain in effect," he said.

Ace Mommawolf, lives in Los Angeles, but is from Daytona Beach. She rides motorcycles. She seems to like poppin' out babies. After the birth of her latest baby she popped out, she was bleeding really bad. The ole' midwife there to help her pop the baby out told her she might have to get a blood transfusion, but there was another way….to drink a "Bloody Shame". So the ole' midwife sliced a piece of her fresh placenta, handed it over to Papa Wolf, who took it to the blender, and made the ole' "Bloody Shame". Placing a pink straw in the glass he handed it to his lady Ace. The bleeding stopped and Mommawolf was saved…
Demonbabies is Jesus Rivera. Originally from the Motor City, he migrated west to L.A., where he built a dungeon to mix special potions in. After a freak laboratory accident, Jesus was left with the ability to concoct monsters from his fingertips and shoot psychedelic lightning bolts from his eyeballs! The monsters have since taken over and will not stop multiplying. In recent years, he has discovered that sunlight does not harm them, water satisfies their thirst, and they hate eating after midnight!
Justin grew up in Los Angeles, surrounded by hippies, guns, motorcycles, skateboards, palm trees and paint markers. He learned to draw by candlelight on bar napkins as a young child, eventually attending Art Center in the early 2000s. His interests include white magic and black powder. Justin currently lives in Amsterdam and designs stuff.
Ginar Satria was born and raised in Bandung City, Indonesia. Known as the creative center of Indonesia, many designers, artists, and musicians hail from the area. He went to the Art and Design Institute and is still trying to graduate. He also works for several local clothing companies.
Jason (JFish) is a young man who believes to be good friends with Death. He enjoys drawing such subjects as hamburgers, monsters, androids, angels, fats girls, and, mostly, himself. When he colors, Jason prefers to use the entire rainbow.
Greg (Khmara) has been writing since youth and began to work with Jason as a writer of comics when they were kids. He loves his cats very much and finds much inspiration to write from his regular petting sessions with said cats. He is featured in a certain comic as a giant flea. Greg's most prized possession is his framed original drawing by Travis Millard.
Fumi Mini Nakamura, also known as Miniminiaturemouse, is an illustrator // Designer based in New York City. Born and raised between Shizuoka, Japan and Bay Area, California. Never had cavities or gold tooth, or broke a bone in her life. She has a fat chinchilla named Basil Leaf Eriksson who likes to eat her drawings and baby plants.
Todd Tourso is an art director, designer, and illustrator born, raised, living, and working in Los Angeles California. He attended Art Center College of Design and went on to work as an Art Director at Warner Bros. Records. He was the Creative Director of Flaunt Magazine from 2005-2009 and won The Art Directors Club Award in 2008 for the magazine's re-design. In 2010 Tourso launched The Glyph Set, a design and image studio, providing creative direction, brand development, design, illustration, and consultation services for a wide range of clients as diverse as Lady Gaga, Polaroid, and The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture.

Los Angeles based designer, Jonathan San Nicolas works as an art director in Advertising, Marketing & Fashion… Dark Matter LA is his personal project, starting off with jewlery in 2009. After freelancing with Blood is the New Black, in Branding design & their bi-annual zine, the idea to design an exclusive tshirt line DMLA x BITNB was inevitable. The line is inspired by international graphic design, the Dada art movement and his teenage years in LA.
While living in a small, old, navy lifeboat in the Sausalito Bay, Porous Walker was visited by the ghost of Shel Silverstein, who encouraged him to change his name and begin drawing. Porous Walker has shown his work in art galleries around the world, been featured in magazines and television, and is working on a new project almost every day. His hope is to inspire people to laugh and to create and share their own art work, subsequently flooding the world with humor and pretty colors.
Sophie Stephens is a London-based illustrator and apparently, her work is "full of dry humor and ample filth" though she describes it as being about herself, her friends, nonsense and nudity. She has a love/hate relationship with fashion and finds beauty in things that are tacky and gross. She loves Pamela Anderson, tequila, drawing on walls, high hells, black pens, and Barney. In the near future, she can't wait to do lots more drawing, get lots of money, visit Ryan in L.A., waste a weekend in Ibiza and get covered in tattoos.
Robert Nicholas Whigham is my full name but please call me Bobby. I'm 24 going on 38. We all have a tool… My tool is camera. Born and raised in the steel city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I'm currently a tee shirt buyer for a hip, trend driven company in Philadelphia, where I've resided for the last 3 years. In these last three years I've been taking a ton of photos.

Justin Bieber Denies He Needs to Go to Rehab
Justin Bieber posted a lengthy message on Instagram about how he doesn't need to go to rehab and he is tired of all the lies in the press. Bieber says anyone who thinks he should go to rehab is stupid. He also gives two reasons why he should not to rehab: he has five number albums and he has seen the entire world. Bieber writes, "if Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world."
Bieber says his team is telling him to "keep the press happy," but Bieber doesn't seem to want to because of "all the countless lies in the press." Bieber also says he is working really hard and is a good person with a big heart.
Here is the what the young pop star had to say in his latest missive to fans:
What we would really like Bieber to address is why he keeps letting his friend Lil Twist drive his Fisker Krama after all the car accidents.Everyone in my team has been telling me, "keep the press happy" but I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud, and nothing's been said by them, my grandparents wouldnt know how to reach to press even of they did want to so that was a lie and rehab cmon. if Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My messege is to to believe. My albums could be about anything but my messages have been to never say never and believe, not to believe in me but to believe in yourself .. I honestly don't care if you don't believe in me because I believe in me, my friends believe, my family believe, my fans believe, and look where that's gotten me so far.. I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart. Letting u know first hand how I feel rather than have these story linger. I'm a good person with a big heart. And don't think I deserve all this negative press I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here... All this isn't easy. I get angry sometimes. I'm human. I'm gonna make mistakes. In gonna grow and get better from them. But all the love from you guys overcomes the negativity. I love u. Thanks
Justin Bieber also posted the above photograph on Instagram. It looks like he just woke up in the photo.

Revised mid-2001 population estimates were published on 26 September 2003. About 190,000 people have been added to the mid-2001 estimate of the population of England and Wales, revising it to 52.3 million. Most of the extra people are young adult men aged between 25 and 34. The mid-2002 population estimates which are also published today incorporate the revision to the mid-2001 estimates.
See Related links for the latest population estimates.
Since the Census population estimates were published in September 2002, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has been carrying out a number of studies into the reasons for the difference between the 2001 Census based estimates and the mid-year population estimates (MYEs) rolled forward from earlier censuses. At the time the mid-2001 estimates were published, the 1.1 million overestimate for England and Wales was attributed to two factors:
the mid-1991 population estimates were too high because they included too big an adjustment for under-coverage in the 1991 Census. 1991 MYEs for England and Wales were published on 13 February 2003 revised down by 351,000
errors in the estimation of net migration to and from the UK during the 1990s caused estimation of population change to be too high. Migration is generally recognised as being difficult to estimate accurately due to the rarity of high quality data sources, particularly emigration
A National Statistics Quality Review of International Migration had already been initiated because of weaknesses in the statistics on migration. Revised migration estimates for 1992-2001 were published in June 2003. These showed a further 305,000 overestimate in the rolled-forward population estimates. Therefore, the two main factors that caused the rolled forward estimates to be too high accounted for over 650,000 (about 60 per cent) of the 1.1 million difference.
Further research included demographic analysis of sex ratios, fertility, mortality and migration, analysis of the Longitudinal Study, comparisons with a range of administrative sources, investigation of Census data and processes, and matching studies of address lists held by Local Authorities and those collected by the Census. The key findings from these studies, not all of which are completed, are described in separate documents found in Evidence and analysis.
The evidence from the various studies indicates a possible underestimate of men, particularly young adult men aged between 25 and 34, in the 2001 population estimates and to a lesser extent men aged 35 to 44. Given the weight of this evidence it was decided to revise the mid-2001 population estimates to add around 190,000 to the population of England and Wales, most of the added people are young adult men aged between 25 and 34. A small adjustment was also made to the 35 to 49-year-old age group partly to reflect the evidence and partly to help create smooth demographic rates.
This also reflects some residual effect, predominantly from men aged from 25 to 34, in earlier years. The revision to the mid-2001 population estimates explains a further 190,000 of the difference. The explanation of the difference between the 2001 Census based mid-2001 population estimates and the rolled-forward population estimates is summarised numerically in the table below:
Intercensal Discrepancy
Of which:
Change to the 1991 base
Revised Migration Estimates
Revisions to 2001
Leaving Unattributed Change
Estimates for Scotland and Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) and NISRA respectively. GROS and NISRA have published their 2002 MYEs and are content that the MYEs in Scotland and Northern Ireland do not require revision either for 2002 or earlier years. If new information emerges which indicates a need for a change to the MYE, the information will be considered in the next round of MYEs for Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively.
What happens next
The population estimates published on 26 September taking account of all the available evidence from existing statistical sources. These estimates are suitable for the full range of uses, including resource allocation.
Some studies, notably the matching exercises, have not yet been concluded. Results of the Manchester exercise are expected to be available by the end of October 2003. Results of the Westminster matching exercise will follow. A third stage, in Spring 2004, will review the outcomes from both matching studies and whether any further revision may be required for any area. Also following publication of the review: 'A demographic statistics service for the 21st Century', ONS will outline an action plan that will lead to continuing improvements in the reliability of population statistics produced between Censuses.
Some of these actions may lead to the need to further revise population estimates, as improved methods and sources are put in place. ONS will be consulting widely on the programme of methodological research.
The implication of revisions to mid-2001 is that some revisions will also be required to the historic population series for the years 1992 to 2000. ONS will publish an interim revised series for England and Wales, by age and sex, in October 2003. It is planned that comprehensive revisions to the historic series will be published in Spring 2004.
