Boss challenges players to fill Gibson void.
Darron Gibson
Roberto Martinez has admitted he will consider reinforcing his midfield in January – but has challenged his existing players to prove they can carry on filling the void created by Darron Gibson's long-term injury.
Martinez has been left to plan without the 25-year-old after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament playing for the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.
The Spaniard has already expressed a hope Gibson could return before the end of the 2013/14 campaign but hasn't ruled out adding to his numbers when the window reopens in the New Year.
And speaking ahead of Everton's 2-1 win over Hull on Saturday, Martinez said: "This is a one-off incident and something that in January we will have to look into because we need to see how we are going to react.
"But I'm pleased with the numbers and the quality we have in that area. We are going to assess it in the next three months.
"At the moment it is an opportunity for other players in the squad to show what they can do and that's the normal competitive edge we have. We need to be able to handle suspensions and we need to be able to handle injuries.
"Obviously Darron will be a big miss but the focus is to make sure there is a good recovery period for him and that we work on aspects that will help him become stronger as a human being as well as a footballer.
"We have to use this setback in his career as a springboard for the next years he has at our football club."

Art Direction: Yi Guangfu
Cast: Li Lihua, Wang Hao
1947 / B&W / D Beta / ^ Mandarin / ^ 88 min
^ Amendment: Please note that the film is in Mandarin and the duration is 88 minutes
The three females in the film are the righteous and honest Wu, her best friend Li and cousin Luo. The latter two are victims of their own tragic destinies, both being greeted by the infidelity and betrayal of their husband and lover, eventually ended up in either death or jail. It is Wu who refuses to lose heart and perseveres in spite of all hardships. Although made in Hong Kong and with exteriors unmistakably filmed on some of its streets and alleys, the film has the background of its story firmly set in Shanghai. The scattered narrative calls for many set pieces (a ballroom, a laundry shop, a co-op store, Li's home, etc.) and with a shoestring budget, set designer Chan Ki-yui does an amazing job by not only delivering all sets in style and gentility, but also reproducing an aura that is subtly and eloquently Shanghai.

Little Ireland Nugent took a big step toward recovery Monday afternoon -- literally. The 2-year-old tried out her new feet for the first time.
Ireland was fitted for prosthetics last week at Prosthetic & Orthotic Associates of Orlando.
Monday's steps were her first since a lawnmower accident outside her Palm Harbor home back in April.
"She was ready," said her mother, Nicole Nugent. "I was really nervous that she was not going to take that well, because she's been a little nervous through all the processes. I think even the liners were worse than the legs. This morning with the liners, she was nervous, but those legs, she wasn't nervous. It was neat! It was great!"
In addition to 'Dora the Explorer' stickers, her new artificial legs are fitted with sensors that will tell her doctors how well they fit. Adjustments will be made and she could take her new legs home as early as Tuesday.
"Honestly, the way she's doing right now, I bet she's running in a week to two weeks," said Stan Patterson, president of POA. "She hasn't walked for three months almost, so now she's getting back into it. She's learning her balance all over again, so she did just fantastic."
Jerry Nugent's eyes filled with tears as he watched his daughter walk again.
"Just so much joy," he offered. "So much happiness, for her and for our family."

A "British-Riding-Set Homage," Backstage At Moschino
After last season's all-out sixties tribute, arriving backstage at Moschino this morning, only to find peaches-and-cream complexions and ponytails, was more than a little change of pace. "Normally, Moschino is very full-on, but this season it's very young and fresh," makeup artist Tom Pecheux pointed out. "Very fresh, and very English."
That much was clear from the soundtrack alone (Oasis, The Verve, and Blur, anyone?), as well as a specifically British dewy skin quality with a faint flush. "In France, you have the baguette; in England, you have the rosy fresh skin," Pecheux elaborated, administering massages with a blend of Rodin Olio Lusso and Estée Lauder DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Crème before applying a moderate coverage of MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation. Concentrating a mix of its Cremeblend Blush in Posey and Cream Colour Base in Rich Coral on the apples of the cheeks—"not too high, because on high-definition cameras it looks bad," Pecheux emphasized—he added multiple strokes of MAC Haute & Naughty mascara to lashes, then dabbed its sheer, dark pink lipstick in Red Statement onto pouts.
There was still a hint of the sixties in the hair, which was also rooted in the annals of British beauty. "I think we invented the sixties," English hairstyling star Sam McKnight joked, coating strands with Pantene Triple Action Volume Mousse before drying them, fashioning a side part, and back-combing a small bump at the back of the head. Pulling the sides over the tops of models' ears, McKnight gathered lengths into a low ponytail. "It's a very British-riding-set homage," he insisted. "They're not 'street' girls."

WEDNESDAY, April 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers report early progress in developing a treatment that might one day help the immune system defend itself against cancer.
The results of their study -- the first of three stages of research required of drug treatments in the United States -- suggest the treatment is safe. But they don't prove it works or which patients it could help. Nor do the researchers offer definitive details about factors such as cost.
Still, the findings are an example of "really sexy science" that holds promise, said Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf, an oncologist and associate professor at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, who was not involved with the study.
Willem Overwijk, also an associate professor at the Anderson Cancer Center, cautioned there are several caveats that could prevent the experimental treatment from becoming a successful medication.
The treatment is known as a cancer vaccine. These "have been promising without really delivering for decades," Overwijk said. "They are intended to activate the immune system to seek out and destroy cancer cells. So they are mostly intended for patients who already have cancer, and not preventively."
Because each cancer type is unique and typically requires a different vaccine, "a preventive approach would require dozens of different vaccines to be given to cover all cancer types," he explained.
The treatment under study aims to enlist so-called "dendritic" cells in the immune system, according to the study, published in the April 16 issue of Science Translational Medicine.
"Dendritic cells are the sentinels of our immune system," said study co-author Tibor Keler, chief scientific officer at Celldex Therapeutics Inc., which funded the study. They sense invaders in the body and alert other parts of the immune system about how to fight them, Keler explained.
The new treatment works by alerting the alerters: It lets the dendritic cells know that danger is nearby. Mittendorf said the treatment acts a bit like a spark plug when it kick-starts the immune system.
The dendritic cells then essentially put up signs to let other cells know which invaders to look out for and how to handle them, she said.
In the new Phase I study, researchers tested the injection treatment in 45 patients with advanced cancer who weren't responding to medication. Studies at this stage are designed to explore side effects and dosages of medications.
"The treatment was well-tolerated at all dose levels," Keler said. The only side effects were irritation and reddening at the site of the injection.
Keler said the treatment could potentially be used with other medications that enlist the immune system to fight cancer, but only in patients whose tumors have a specific kind of protein. "It's present in about 30 percent of melanoma cases and in a smaller percentage of various other cancer types," Keler said. But the treatment could be expanded to treat other kinds of cancer, he said.
The cost, Overwijk said, "will be completely determined by marketing and management of whoever might manufacture this drug." Making the drug itself won't be unusually costly, he added.
What's next? For now, "we are planning additional trials with our vaccine, focusing on combinations with other immunotherapy that may lead to significant clinical benefit," Keler said.

[From Sara in Brooklyn...]
Vareniki are small, light dumplings similar to the more common pierogi. They are considered a national dish of the Ukraine, however many culinary traditions embrace a version of these dumplings. Vareniki are incredibly versatile and can be eaten as an hors d'oeuvre with dipping sauce, as a side dish, main course, in soup, or even as dessert.
Given the enormous range of vareniki fillings available, there is something for everybody. They can be filled with a variety of vegetables, meat, fruit or cheese. They are often boiled and sometimes fried, and are typically eaten in the morning or evening. They are served hot, warm or cold. With all of these options, you're bound to find a combination that works for you.
I recently made an informal sampling of several dumplings from M&S Dumplings located in Brooklyn, NY. M&S beef dumplings were nicely seasoned and well suited for a main course or appetizer. Uncharacteristically following the directions on the package, I followed the serving suggestion of butter, vinegar and pepper for the boiled dumplings and found it to be a perfect combination. Similarly, with the potato vareniki, the suggested butter sauce and pepper was a great compliment to the creamy and lightly-seasoned potato filling. Fried onions would also make a fantastic accompaniment.
Typically, fruit-filled vareniki are sprinkled with sugar and served with sour cream. I tried the cherry vareniki this way. Unlike the potato, the cherry vareniki were larger, and contain whole somewhat dry cherries, rather than a smooth puree, making them a bit more unwieldy than their meat and potato cousins. The cherry flavor was sour, earthy and almost savory, and while I wouldn't turn down cherry vareniki for dessert, I think they would also work well as an accompaniment to duck or other meats. Other recipes for fruit vareniki call for mashing the fruit and combining it with cheese, which I hope to try very soon.
M&S Dumpling flavors include Veal, Beef, Beef and Chicken, Potato and Cherry and can be found in the freezer section of Brooklyn markets.
(Thanks, Sara!)

my mom would make blintzes using similar flavor combinations. my favorite was farmer cheese, with sour cherry yogurt. so delicious and filling.
They sound delicious. Too bad I have almost no chance at finding those down south. We're lucky enough that the grocery stores carry Mrs. T's at all.
Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try making them.
Like you said, these are basically perogies. I come from a part of Canada that has a very strong eastern european immigrant heritage and thus grew up on the things. I basically only like the potato and cheese variety (and am vegetarian) but these are SO delicious. I can't find perogies that easily in the UK, so i have made them even though they are time consuming, but so glad to see them featured. My fav. way of eating them is to boil, then fry with onions, then eat hot with sour cream and fresh chopped spring onions. YUM!
My fiancee and I just love potato vareniki, if I may share the recipe I use (is my first post here). It's just from my notes, it's not as verbose as a real recipe would be.
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/3 c. water
Combine salt and flour. Beat eggs and water together lightly. Make a well in the flour mixture and add the eggs. Incorporate. Knead on floured surface until dough is pliable. Form into small balls, cover with moist towel and let rest 1 hour.
Potato Vareniki:
1 recipe vareniki dough
1 lg. onion, chopped
2 tbs. butter
2 c. mashed potato
Salt and Pepper
1/2 c. melted butter
Chopped Dill
Sautee onion in butter until lightly browned. Add mashed potato. Season with salt & pepper.
Roll dough into circles, place 1 tbs. potato mixture into enter of each. Brush edges with water or broth, fold dough over filling to make half moons. Press around edges with tines of a fork. Dust each with flour.
Bring lg. pot of salted water to a boil. Drop vareniki into water and cook until they rise to the top, about 4 minutes.
When finished, drizzle the vareniki with melted butter, and top with plenty of chopped dill. These are delicious served with sour cream.
Mennonites eat these with a cottage cheese filling. On top you pour a "cream gravy" made with cream and melted butter. Click on my name for a recipe.

London - Globe-trotting Britons Bill and Laurel Cooper have returned home to retire after spending 36 years at sea, The Sun reported Friday.
The couple have sailed the equivalent of four times around the globe since setting off in 1976.
They have been travelling around on boats they built themselves since Bill quit his high-flying job in the city and they sold their home in Chatham, Kent.
Over the past four decades they have notched up nearly 100,000 nautical miles sailing across seven seas, stopping in 45 different countries.
They've also battled 25 feet waves, hurricanes, winds of 100 mph and got close enough to dolphins, sharks and whales.
And they even once had a one-eyed cat called Nelson on their boat.
Former Royal Navy Commander Bill, 83, said: "We've had a wonderful time but I'm afraid I have been over-taken by what you could call ill-health.
"When I got to about 78, I thought this isn't going to go on forever so we built a boat we could manage when old age really strikes - we call it the geriatric boat."
"We will have to get used to the life here. I plan to write a book and decay gently." Laurel, 82, added: "We have had an absolutely amazing life. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
"I'm very happy looking back at all the wonderful places we've been, the people we've met and the adventures we've had. "We've been very lucky, but we always knew it wouldn't last forever."
The couple met in 1945 and started sailing together on the Norfolk Broads two years later, with Bill as the captain and Laurel as first mate.

The Yamaha XVS1300A Midnight Star has been described as a laid-back cruiser, but make no mistake about it, there's nothing 'laid back' about its performance.
That's because the XVS1300A Midnight Star is powered by a 1,304cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 40valves, V-type 2-cylinder OHC engine, one that's capable of unleashing a world of power and performance that riders ultimately crave. At the heart of this bike, you'll find the engine features forged pistons, 4-valve heads and shortstroke con-rods, so that every time you hit the throttle you feel a knockout, low-down punch, that turns into great power.
The bike's engine make-up has also been added with twin balancers that tune out the unwanted vibrations. It also has an intelligent Unified Braking System that provides an independent or combined wheel braking for total control.
As far as its design characteristics are concerned, the XVS1300A Midnight Star takes the classic 1930s-inspired styling, with a tight body and low silhouette that's old-school and adds a radical new twist.
Combine the engine, the chromed-up style, the throbbing torque, and the very best of 21st century bike technology, and you have a bike that you can proudly say is far more aggressive than it's laid back looks suggest.
Find out more about the Yamaha XVS1300A Midnight Star after the jump.
Yamaha XVS1300A Midnight Star
Hop on an XVS1300A Midnight Star, and you'll see that laid-back, cruiser style doesn't have to mean laid-back horsepower. Its engine features forged pistons, 4-valve heads and shortstroke con-rods, so every time you hit the throttle you feel a knockout, low-down punch, that turns into serious power.
Twin balancers tune out the unwanted vibrations that can make long journeys wearing, without losing those feel-good power pulses. And an intelligent Unified Brake System offers independent or combined wheel braking for total control.
And it all comes in a package of classic 1930s-inspired styling, with a tight body and low silhouette that's old-school with a radical new twist.
Get out and explore the open road with Yamaha's stunning range of cruisers. You'll find throbbing torque, chromed-up style and the very best of 21st century bike technology - it's the ultimate blend of cutting-edge engineering and cool cruiser lifestyle.
The Midnight Star range is a powerful mix of substance and style. From the easy-riding of the XVS950A to the classic styling and exhilaration of the XV1900A, the range combines high-powered engines and menacing looks with the ultimate in rider comfort and control.
So climb aboard and do whatever you've got to do, whether that's a cross country hike or a gentle cruise, our bikes are ready.
'Air-cooling design' fins
When you drive a big cruiser, you're buying into something special - a love of the open road, the spirit of adventure, and an appreciation of carefully crafted machinery. With the XVS1300A you get all of the above, and the 'air-cooling design' fins make this one the most stylish and beautifully finished designs in the cruiser class.
Big torque for big roads
You want your cruiser to respond to every turn of the throttle, and the XVS1300A's short-stroke configuration ensures that it does. The 60 degree V-twin engine offers big performance whether you're riding around the city or on the highway with a passenger. Its instant acceleration means it can cruise quickly, hour after hour.
Tuned muffler note
Twist the throttle on the XVS1300A, and you'll hear the kind of growl that reminds you you're alive. After extensive testing, we have been able to minimise mechanical noise and high frequency sound. The result is accentuated deeper tones that give this big V-twin such a pleasing, low exhaust note.
Handlebar-mounted instruments
You'll notice that the XVS1300A is a streamlined machine. To maintain an uninterrupted flow from the headlight through to the tip of the flared rear fender, the instruments are mounted on the handlebars rather that on the fuel tank. The unobtrusive one-piece includes an analogue speedometer and warning lights.
'Wild streamline' styling
Borrowing from a variety of streamlined American designs of the 1930s, the beautifully flowing bodywork seen on this new Yamaha takes cruiser design into new territory. Viewed from any angle, the 'wild streamline' styling flows seamlessly from the top of the headlight through to the low tail of the steel rear fender.
Left and right side balancers
When you're on a road trip, and cruising cross country for hours of uninterrupted riding pleasure, comfort is important. The XVS1300A has been designed to cut out vibration, with balancers on both sides of the engine, while allowing the sensual pulse that lets the rider feel the engine working.

Tangible personal property is leased in another state and subsequently brought into Ohio. How is the price of the leased property determined for purposes of sales and use tax?
If the property is brought into Ohio within six months after consummation of the lease, the entire lease amount is subject to the upfront tax. If the property is brought into Ohio six months after the lease consummation, the sum of the remaining lease payments is subject to tax. In all cases, the lessee must pay use tax to the lessor as soon as the leased property arrives in Ohio.

Wouldn't you just love to poke in a relationship between two young high schoolers who have a subtle distance between each other? Of course you would. Tsumiki and Io have this subtle distance that anyone would want to jump in between just to bug them. That's what the other characters are there for. Tsumiki, being a tsundere and all, won't be honest about her feelings toward Io. Io on the other hand is unaware of Tsumiki's feelings, hence the subtle distance between the two. Now, let's watch these two and see what events await them...

Microbiology started in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1965 as a service unit headed by Professor L. C. Ferguson, who was also the Dean of the Faculty of Science. The first indigenous academic staff of the unit was Prof. Nduka Okafor. In 1967, he was joined by Prof. A. N. U. Njoku Obi from the University of Lagos, who subsequently succeeded Prof. Ferguson as Head of the Unit. The Unit was upgraded to the status of a full department in 1970, with a core staff of seven individuals made up of five academic and two technical staff.
The Department admitted 18 pioneer students for both single and combined honours programmes. These pioneer students graduated in 1973. However, the Department graduated one student ahead of the pioneer set in 1972. This student had transferred to the University of Nigeria from the University of Ibadan following the civil war and was placed in the second year, ahead of the pioneer students.
In addition to its single and combined honours degrees, the Department also organized a Medical Laboratory unit in the Faculty of Medicine, Enugu Campus and employed the staff of the Department to teach microbiology to medical students. The unit at Enugu remained under the administration of the Department at Nsukka until 1984 when it became an autonomous department of Medical Microbiology.
The Department of Microbiology, today, offers courses leading to a B.Sc. (Honours) degree in Microbiology. Admission is either by Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or by Direct-Entry. Students admitted by UTME undergo a four-year degree programme while those admitted by direct entry do a three-year degree programme.
The field of biology is one which has undergone a lot of evolution and continues to evolve everyday, moreso, since the early twentieth century. Early studies in Biology were devoted more to the study of life-cycles of organisms and similarities in their physical appearances. But with advancements in the field of genetics, aided mainly by studies of microorganisms, Microbiology emerged as one of the most important areas of study in the life sciences.
As the pioneer Department of Microbiology in the country, the Department of Microbiology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, is planned to be at the forefront of teaching and learning, research and development, knowledge creation and dissemination in the field of Microbiology, aimed at producing world class microbiologists.
Microbiology has taken a pivotal role in the study and advancement of life sciences, being the foundation on which Modern Biotechnology was built. It is therefore relevant in all fields of research and development for the improvement of human life. Its many applications have brought advancements, through Biotechnology, in such areas as Medical Diagnosis, Brewing, Agriculture, Industrial Production of food and pharmaceuticals, Environmental Monitoring, Bioremediation, Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and other emerging areas of Biotechnology. Hence, it is imperative that the student of Microbiology should be properly equipped to play the expected roles in these important areas of life.
The programme is designed to:
1. To give students a sound exposure to the theory and practice of Microbiology.
2. To equip students with adequate research techniques to enable them function as lecturers in universities and other tertiary institutions, research officers and consultants in the many fields of application of Microbiology.
3. To equip students with adequate practical knowledge to enable them become self reliant as producers of many food and industrial products of microbial activity.
4. To produce world class microbiologists who can compete with their counterparts the world over and fit into advanced programmes within the country and outside it.
The Department offers a very robust and forward-looking programme in the general and applied areas of Microbiology to prepare its graduates for their important role in the advancement of life. The core courses are designed to give students wide exposure in the main areas, which include Medical, Industrial/Food and Environmental Microbiology, including Climate Change studies. The students undergo industrial attachment during their third year of study, which affords them practical experience in diagnostic techniques and other microbiological processes in hospitals and industries.
The Department also offers, in conjunction with the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, B.Sc. combined degree in Microbiology/Chemistry and Microbiology/ Biochemistry.
In addition, service courses are offered to students in other areas of Biological Sciences, Medical Sciences, Veterinary Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Health and Physical Education.
Job Opportunities
Students, on successful graduation, can take up careers such as lecturing and/or research in universities, polytechnics and biomedical research centres. They can find employment opportunities in some government agencies such as centres for disease control, Food and Drug Administration agencies, water corporations, waste management agencies, environmental control and protection agencies, environmental impact assessment agencies and other quality control agencies.
Graduates can also find employment in a variety of industrial (e.g. food/pharmaceutical industries) establishments as well as in medical, public health, agricultural and veterinary laboratories. Opportunities also exist for graduates in the fermentation industries as represented by the breweries, alcohol distilleries, as well soft drink and fruit juice production industries.
Entry Requirements
(a) UTME Entry Requirements
Candidates who have satisfied the minimum university requirements for admission are required to obtain credit level passes in English language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics in the West African School Certificate (WASC)/General Certificate of Education (GCE)/Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE), National Examination Council (NECO) or any other acceptable equivalent certificate.
(b) Direct-Entry Requirements
Candidates are required to obtain passes at Higher School Certificate or GCE A/L in Chemistry and Biology or Chemistry and Zoology or Chemistry and Botany in addition to the UTME Entry requirements.

For leaders in the middle of a long-term change effort, short-term wins are essential. Running a change effort without attention to short-term performance is extremely risky. The Guiding Coalition becomes a critical force in identifying significant improvements that can happen between six and 18 months. Getting these wins helps ensure the overall change initiative's success. Research shows that companies that experience significant short-term wins by fourteen and twenty-six months after the change initiative begins are much more likely to complete the transformation.
Realizing these improvements is a challenge. In any change initiative, agendas get delayed, there is a desire to ensure that customers are not affected, political forces are at work – all of which slow the ability to perform as promised. However, short-term wins are essential.
To ensure success, short term wins must be both visible and unambiguous. The wins must also be clearly related to the change effort. Such wins provide evidence that the sacrifices that people are making are paying off. This increases the sense of urgency and the optimism of those who are making the effort to change. These wins also serve to reward the change agents by providing positive feedback that boosts morale and motivation. The wins also serve the practical purpose of helping to fine tune the vision and the strategies. The guiding coalition gets important information that allows them to course-correct.
Short-term wins also tend to undermine the credibility of cynics and self-serving resistors. Clear improvements in performance make it difficult for people to block the needed change. Likewise, these wins will garner critical support from those higher than the folks leading the change (bosses, board, and shareholders). Finally, short-term wins have a way of building momentum that turns neutral people into supporters, and reluctant supporters into active helpers.
Planning not Praying
Short-term wins rarely simply happen. They are usually the result of careful planning and effort. Why don't people plan for these? Often they are overwhelmed with the tasks of the change effort and simply take their eye off this particular ball. In other cases, people don't even try because they believe that you can't produce major change and short-term performance results. Finally, the lack of short-term wins can often be traced back to insufficient management expertise on the Guiding Coalition or a lack of commitment by key managers to the change initiative.
Pressure to Perform
Clearly the need to get short-term wins adds a great deal of pressure to an organization in the midst of a transformation effort. However, when done skillfully, the need to create short-wins can actually increase the sense of true urgency and actually accomplishing these goals does much to cement the change initiative.

1. How do I know if I can play a DVD I'm interested in?
If you are in the UK, your DVD player will most likely only play PAL Region 2 or Region 0 DVDs. All region DVD players can of course play any disc from any country.
Be sure you can play the discs you purchase from us before you order them!
REGION 1: USA and Canada (NTSC)
REGION 2: Europe (PAL), Japan (NTSC), South Africa, Middle East
REGION 3: South-East Asia (primarily NTSC)
REGION 4: Central and South America (NTSC), Australia (PAL), New Zealand (PAL)
REGION 5: Former Soviet Union, India, Pakistan, Africa (primarily NTSC)
REGION 6: China (primarily NTSC)
2. When can I expect my order to arrive?
We don't mess around at MoviedromeDVD. All order are dispatched within 48 hours without question. For all UK buyers all items will be posted via 2nd class Royal Mail and normally take between 2 to 5 working days to arrive (although the Royal Mail asks for up to 14 days). Overseas orders are dispatched via Airmail Small Packets and can take between 7 to 21 working days to arrive (Royal Mail asks for up to 28 days).
3. I live outside of the UK and my discs haven't arrived yet. When should I expect them/what's taking so long?
Be a Jedi and follow Yoda's instruction: "Patience!" In the years since we've been on eBay, only a few packages have ever been lost in the mail. Still, delays can occur when it comes to shipping overseas. Remain calm! Feel free to contact us to ask when exactly your package was shipped (although you should receive a shipping confirmation from us - check your mail!), but honestly our best advice is to wait just a little longer. Once a package leaves us and is in the hands of the postal systems there is nothing we can do to speed it along to you.
4. I just got a disc and when I try to play it in my player it won't play. What's going on?
Make sure your player can play the disc you are trying to play and that you're not playing a region-coded disc in a player from another region - for example trying to play a PAL disc in an NTSC-only player (or vice versa). See #1 for more info. If you truly have a defective disc, please refer to our store policies for return info.
5. I got a disc from you and it wasn't factory sealed. Is this disc used?
Absolutely not! We don't sell used or bootleg DVDs ever! Rather, not every country in the world shrinkwraps their discs. Occasionally we have to open discs to make sure they've arrived to us undamaged so you get a pristine disc.
6. Why buy from MoviedromeDVD and not from a SuperStore?
Because we care about you - we really do! We share the same passion for cult films as you. We are a small business and the only way we can operate is by intense buyer loyalty. We welcome your feedback and any comments about our titles and operations. Feel free to join us on Facebook (MoviedromeDVD) and add your own comments, start a discussion or just get fun updates from us!
7. How do you ship?
In the UK we post using the Royal Mail.
Overseas order are posted via Airmail Small Packets
Charges are based on your location. Simply use the postage option menu on ebay.
8. How do I contact you?
The best way to reach us is through eBay or directly by email at

Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
September 27-29, 2012
The Troy Moore Library, Room 939, Langdale Hall
Organized in conjunction with the Department of Philosophy of Bielefeld University (Germany) and the Jean Beer Blumenfeld Center for Ethics..
Among the most important ethical issues facing humanity today are those involving the international system of states and the law that aims to regulate the system. The particular questions around which a substantial philosophical literature has developed include (but are not limited to): Do the traditional legal rules of war need to be updated? Can an adequate legal definition be developed of "war of aggression"? Has international criminal law helped or hindered global peace and justice? What is a human right? Which kinds of claims properly count as human rights? Is the language of human rights ethnocentric? Does the erosion of state sovereignty inevitably mean the erosion of democracy? Is "exporting democracy" a sensible policy for a state to pursue? What moral obligations do affluent states and peoples owe to the impoverished?
Opening Keynote
Thomas Pogge (Yale University)
"Cosmopolitanism: An Explication and Defense"
Closing Keynote
Francis Cheneval (University of Zurich)
"Global Justice and International Law: Is There A Place for Democracy?"
Principal Speakers
Andrew Altman (Georgia State University)
"Global History/Global Justice: Rawls, Pogge, and the Aims of Ideal Theory"
Gillian Brock (University of Auckland)
"Global Justice, Emigration, Losses, and Burden-Sharing: Which Arrangements Are Fair?"
Frank Dietrich (University of Düsseldorf)
"The Ethics of State Recognition"

"This could very well be the best black IPA on our shelves. Somehow it seems to perfectly harness everything we love about a good porter like flavors of chocolate and brown sugar, with hop aromas and flavors still balancing wonderfully due to the addition of Columbus, Amarillo, Simcoe, & Cascade hops. Despite what the name tells you, this beer will make you happy."

You hear a musician use the words radical, experimental, avant-garde, and you think that the subject must be some young composer or newly minted piece that stretches, even threatens, our understanding of music's boundaries. But it comes as something of a shock when the topic is, instead, music that's a few centuries old.
Yet violinist Robert Mealy uses those words to describe the repertoire of the ensemble he codirects, Quicksilver, formed in 2009 to explore early Baroque chamber music. The ensemble made its local debut in an 11:30 p.m. slot at the 2011 Boston Early Music Festival. ("It was great — like a late-night jazz set," Mealy said in a recent phone conversation.) They return on Saturday with a more conventionally scheduled show in the BEMF concert series.

Hiroyuki Konuma
FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
Hiroyuki KonumaAssistant Director-General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific
delivered at the
Bangkok, Thailand7 December 2011
Excellencies,Distinguished Delegates from member countries, Colleagues from development partners and UN Agencies,Representatives from civil society and private sectors,Ladies and Gentlemen
It is my great pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Food and Organization of the United Nations to the Regional Forum on "Nutrition-sensitive food production systems for sustainable food security in Asia and the Pacific". It is indeed a privilege for FAO to host a meeting that brings together leading experts to brainstorm on practical ways and means to address food and nutrition issues. I note the attendance of delegates from over thirty countries and large number of key development partners and stakeholders such as civil society, farmer's organizations, academe and the private sectors from this Region. I specifically acknowledge the participation of Dr.Watson, on behalf of Dr. David Nabarro, UN Special Representative for Food Security and nutrition who expressed his keen interest to participate and regretted his inability to attend due to unavoidable commitment. I also value greatly the collaboration and participation of UN sister agencies including WFP, UNICEF, WHO and UNDP, and international organizations such as ADB, EU, AVRDC and World Fish Centre. This shows the importance attached to food security and nutrition, as well as increasing problems related to malnutrition. This also demonstrates commitments of countries and partners towards the sustainable eradication of poverty, hunger and malnutrition.
Notwithstanding great improvements in a number of individual countries, progress in reducing hunger and malnutrition has been unacceptably slow. The combined effects of prolonged underinvestment in food, agriculture and nutrition, together with the food price instability exacerbated by the steady increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters have led to increased hunger and poverty in developing countries, jeopardizing the progress achieved so far in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
FAO estimates that a total of 925 million people were undernourished in 2010 compared with 1.02 billion in 2009. WHO estimates that 10 million children die before their fifth birthday every year, and that a third of these deaths are associated with undernutrition. One in three children in developing country under the age of five (178 million children) are stunted due to chronic undernutrition and 148 million children are underweight. Micronutrient malnutrition or "hidden hunger" affects around 2 billion people (over 30% of the world population) with serious public health consequences.
At the same time 43 million children under five years of age are overweight, and obesity affects around 500 million adults, not only in rich countries, but increasingly in low and middle income countries, with consequences ranging from increased risk of premature death to serious chronic health conditions that reduce the overall quality of life. In overall, it is estimated that nearly one billion people on the planet, similar to the number of people suffer from undernutrition, are suffering from overweight at the same time.
Can't we do something to resolve this fundamental disparity and inequality created by mankind? I see this as the most serious injustice in human history. In deed, the world produces sufficient food to meet the demand of everyone, yet food is not accessed equally. This problem became more critical when the food price increased and became volatile, especially for the poor consumers who spend as much as 70 percent of their household income on food.
The food prices in real term remain still over 100 percent high if compared with that of 10 years ago.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Agriculture remains the largest contributor to the employment and livelihoods of nearly 70 percent of the people in developing countries who represent the largest portion of the poor and undernoulished. The agriculture sector is far more than just a food producer. It is the source of food for direct consumption at household level and contributes to national food security, but also it generates employment and income, while safeguarding the natural resource base, upon which the majority of mankind relies. This sector offers the highest impact to reducing poverty and hunger, and greatest potential for achieving sustained improvements in the nutrition status of the poor.
We should therefore not limit ourselves to increase production and supply but also ensure that we protect and improve the access to food, in particular for the poor: who should be safe garded to have the right to adequate quantities of safe and quality food for a nutritionally adequate diet. This includes not only energy, protein and fats but also micronutrients, which can be found in fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products, fish, including wild and indigenous foods.
There is an urgent need to critically review agriculture and related policies as a core backbone to ensure food and nutrition security, and focus on medium and long-term strategies to support food and nutrition security, which would encompass activities related to the supply of nutritionally valuable foods at an affordable price, develop whole food supply chain linkages and benefits including production, processing, storage, distribution and marketing, as well as nutrition education at household level for the preparation and consumption of a variety and diversity of safe and quality foods.
This requires support for an appropriate mix of enabling policies, institutions and infrastructure that support agriculture-based livelihoods and protect and promote food and nutrition security. Incorporating nutrition considerations into the agricultural research and development will not derail the research agenda but will strengthen the goal of research and development which is to improve the quality of life.
Agricultural policies influence the quantity and quality of foods farmers produce, as well as the range of crops grown and the production methods used. Therefore, agricultural policies can affect human health and nutrition. In turn, health and nutrition policies can affect agriculture by influencing whether farming families are physically able to work their farm.
Yet although they may share goals, professionals in agriculture, nutrition, and health rarely have opportunities to discuss areas of mutual interest, exploit synergies and pursue outcomes together that are beneficial to society. In this context, a strategic partnership among different sectors and actors is imperative to address the challenges related to eradicating poverty, improving food and nutrition security.
There is a need for effective, sustainable and long-term solutions. This can best be done by nutrition-sensitive food and agriculture based approaches that have nutrition improvement of all household members as the explicit objective, and by narrowing the nutrition gap i.e. the gap between what foods are available and what foods are needed for a healthy and active life.
The approach stresses the multiple benefits derived from enjoying a variety of foods, recognising the nutritional value of food for good nutrition, and the importance and social significance of the food and agricultural sector for supporting rural livelihoods. It also supports the right-to-food approach in preventing hunger and ensuring health and well-being.
However, to promote such approach there is need for strengthening capacities of institutional structures dealing with agriculture issues, promoting advocacy to decision makers to ensure better visibility of nutritional aspects and further consideration of nutrition in a cross-sectoral manner and mainstream nutrition in the development agenda.
I strongly believe that it will enable us to move towards embracing a two-fold approach: supporting the development of more efficient, sustainable and resilient food production systems and improving access to adequate food and nutrition.
FAO and WHO have repeatedly expressed their concern on the impact of globalisation on people's food practices and consumption patterns. In Small Island States and elsewhere, people have become dependent on highly-processed imported foods and neglected the production of micro-nutrient rich foods like local fruits and vegetables.
As a consequence local food systems have become increasingly vulnerable to the impact of volatile food prices and the poorest population groups, in particular in urban areas, are most affected. With WFP, the World Bank and other agencies, FAO helped to prepare an action plan on the volatility of food prices and agriculture which was adopted in June in Paris. The plan gives special attention to prevention and risk management and thus contributes to protecting the food security of vulnerable households.
In order to give new impetus to world-wide efforts on behalf of hungry and malnourished people, FAO and WHO in close collaboration with other UN agencies, have decided to convene an International Conference on Nutrition in Rome, twenty years after the 1992 ICN. The Conference will be held at FAO Headquarters in Rome in 2013. One of the objectives of the Conference is to raise, inter alia, both the political will and the financial resources necessary for achieving nutrition-related MDGs through a balanced multi-sector approach.
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, today's multifaceted problems of poverty, hunger and malnutrition and fast changing world call for a closer partnership between different actors and sectors. Globalization presents many challenges to Asia and the Pacific Region and as such we should cooperate with the aim of achieving mutual benefits.
I hope these two days sessions would result in possible avenues for cooperation between different stakeholders and to come up with action plans that will result in increased food and nutrition security in the countries and the Region through nutrition sensitive food production system and other priority actions. This regional forum is also aim to strengthen regional networking to stimulate multi-stakeholder collaboration and coordination among concerned sectors and stakeholders, and aligning ongoing and new programmes.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you for your cooperation and great support in organizing this event. I wish all delegates and participants a successful and productive discussions as well as a pleasant stay in Thailand.
Thank you.

Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (July 2013)
The DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) is the United States Department of Defense (DoD) process to ensure that risk management is applied on information systems (IS). DIACAP defines a DoD-wide formal and standard set of activities, general tasks and a management structure process for the certification and accreditation (C&A) of a DoD IS that will maintain the information assurance (IA) posture throughout the system's life cycle.
NOTE: As of March 12th 2014, the DIACAP is obsolete and has been replaced by the "Risk Management Framework (RMF) for DoD Information Technology (IT)".[1] The DoD RMF aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk Management Framework (RMF).[2] [3]
DIACAP was the result of a NSA directed shift in underlying security paradigm and succeeds its predecessor: DITSCAP.
An interim version of the DIACAP was signed July 6, 2006, and superseded DITSCAP. The final version is titled Department of Defense Instruction 8510.01 and was signed on November 28, 2007. It supersedes the Interim DIACAP Guidance.
One major change in DIACAP from DITSCAP is the embracing of the idea of information assurance controls (defined in DoDD 8500.1 and DoDI 8500.2) as the primary set of security requirements for all automated information systems (AISs). The IA Controls are determined based on the system's mission assurance category (MAC) and confidentiality level (CL).
