H.R.H. Prince Philippe Delivers Keynote Speech at BIO
© 2011 Embassy of Belgium
Yesterday, H.R.H. Prince Philippe delivered the keynote speech at the BIO International Convention's Belgian Session "Belgium: Governmental Funding Initiatives Boosting Biotech R&D." With the highest density of life sciences researchers on the planet, Belgium is a thriving center for the Biotechnology industry, with a favorable environment for R&D and innovation. It is noted as one of the top ten biotech countries in the world, housing more than 200 biotechnology companies and research centers. H.R.H. Prince Philippe's Speech is presented below:
Your Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In most innovative and high added-value industries, everything starts with an idea – a dream even – to find ways to serve mankind. This is certainly true for life sciences. Life sciences look at ways to improve our health - our well-being - our planet. Life sciences have the potential to improve our most valued asset – our lives. The world changes so fast – and life-sciences change even faster. Great progress is being made. New treatments have been found for what until only recently were incurable diseases. Things we could only dream about ten years ago have today become reality.
I would like to salute and thank the organizers of BIO. You are instrumental in organizing this world class event where almost twenty thousand people are meeting together and exchanging views and ideas on how to turn the revolution in life-sciences into reality.
It is for me a source of great joy and pride to be amongst the representatives of such impressive companies and research institutes involved in life-sciences. This gives me an excellent opportunity to show you and the world what we have achieved in Belgium – and why Belgium can truly be called the "bioscience valley of Europe".
Belgium has a very strong record in the field of pharmaceutical and biotechnological research. Several of the most significant medicines were discovered and developed in my country. Per capita, we develop more new medicines than anywhere else in the world and compared with the size of our population, we have the highest number of life science employees to make this happen. As just one example, my country was at the origin of several transformational HIV medicines which have had a huge impact on patient survival. Belgium is also a world leader in the development and production of vaccines.
It is impressive to note that the importance of bio-pharmaceutical research and development has doubled over the past ten years. In fact, more than fifty percent of my country's research and development expenditure comes from the bio-pharmaceutical industry!
We may wonder what has produced these impressive results. How has Belgium succeeded in rising to the top of this sector?
There are many reasons for this.
There is, of course, our central position at the heart of Europe and our first-class logistical and business infrastructure, which for many years has been highly attractive for foreign investors.
The long-established presence of an industrial network of leading pharmaceutical organizations, including many American companies, has produced the basis for an extraordinary amount of experience and know-how.
To this I would add that Belgium has a particularly open economy. Thanks to our strong research and development position, we can count on considerable international interest in setting up joint projects. This has led to successful collaboration with pharmaceutical companies world-wide – and we are convinced that this international collaboration is a strong driving force behind research and development in Belgium.
We also have a supportive regulatory environment both at federal and regional level with, for example, the fastest approval for phase one clinical trials in Europe – just two weeks.
In addition we most certainly do have a very competitive tax environment for research and development companies, with the lowest effective European tax rate on revenues from patent income, and a seventy-five percent exemption from withholding tax for those employing researchers.
Another important factor is our high level extensive academic network. We have sixteen universities, three of which rank among the European top twenty-five universities for life sciences, as well as a considerable number of university hospitals and highly specialized biotech research institutes, all with excellent international reputations.
Our universities and institutes have a long-standing policy to support spin-offs, cooperating with the private sector and turning innovation into business opportunities.
But, Ladies and Gentlemen, there is, I believe, a significant additional factor which explains why we are so successful in the field of life sciences.
It is the importance we attach to quality of life.
Quality of life has been deeply embedded in our history since the Middle Ages and it is this that has given us the desire to put human values first.
Health and solidarity play a large part in these values.
Applying human values to science and innovation is the best way to develop the bio-science sector. This is exactly what we have done in Belgium – in our own pragmatic way. The same approach can be found in our excellent teaching hospitals. Here, patient care is central and at the same time an integral part of the teaching curriculum and basic research.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The discovery of the human genome – did you know that the first gene was sequenced in Belgium? - and the subsequent production of the complete DNA map - opened up immense prospects for the improvement of our health. The approach to medicine is set to become increasingly preventive, increasingly personalized and with ever greater chances of success.
The Belgium biotech and biopharmaceutical sector is extremely well-placed to be part of this great adventure.
Your Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is not by chance then that my country has achieved such a strong position among the highest performers in the field of biopharmacy.
In combining the human values that we hold so dear, with our biotechnological expertise, we have truly created a virtuous circle.
I am sure that this session will convince you that Belgium is one of Europe's leading biotech hubs.
If you, as an investor, a researcher or an industry representative join with our activities in Belgium, you will not only be part of this technological success; you will also benefit from the quality of life of which we Belgians are so proud.

H.R.H. Princess Mathilde Delivers Keynote Speech at Council of Women World Leaders Luncheon
© 2011 Embassy of Belgium
Yesterday afternoon, H.R.H. Princess Mathilde delivered the keynote address at the Council of Women World Leaders Luncheon. Her speech sought to raise awareness around the issue of violence against women, a topic she cares deeply about. In her speech, H.R.H. Princess Mathilde acknowledged that today, violence directed toward women is a global problem that can only be solved if both women and men identify the issue and work together to ameliorate it.
The Council of Women World Leaders is a network of current and former women prime ministers, presidents, and heads of government established in 1996 by Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, President of Iceland – and first woman in the world to be democratically elected president – and Laura Liswood, Secretary General. The Council strives to mobilize high-level women leaders for collective and global action on issues of critical importance to women.
H.R.H. Princess Mathilde's speech is presented below:
Your Royal Highness,
Distinguished Guests,
I am very happy to speak to you today as a guest of the Council of Women World Leaders — a Council which brings together brilliant and influential women leaders from all over the world. Because of your past or present positions of responsibility, you are in a privileged position to mobilize actions to advance the cause of women living and working in often precarious and very difficult conditions. Many of your members have taken initiatives to support and promote the qualities and talents of women to enable them to control their own destinies. I applaud you for it.
May I share with you my thoughts on an issue that I consider of the utmost importance — I am speaking about "Violence against Women".
I am committed to adding my voice to all those who express deep concern about the pervasiveness of violence against women and girls. No country is immune from this scourge. The lack of empowerment of women and their marginalization, and the poverty in which they have to live, place them at a higher risk of violence. All forms of violence should be addressed in a holistic and effective way with focus on the empowerment of women in all its aspects. Increased participation of women in political and economic life, and above all a good quality education are essential if we want to break this cycle of violence.
Combatting violence against women and girls is a big challenge. Many initiatives and actions have been taken over the years. Unfortunately statistics show that discrimination and violence are still present on a huge scale in our societies. No custom, tradition or religious considerations can be invoked to justify acts of violence against women and girls: domestic violence — something that also frequently occurs in our western societies — female genital mutilation, honor crimes, femicide, early and forced marriages, sexual violence as a tactic of war and many others. Let there be no doubt, all of them violate human rights and the principles of human integrity and dignity.
During my travels, I have met many courageous women and girls living in difficult conditions. Each time I was struck both by the hardship of their lives and by their resilience, hope and strong determination to strive for a better future. We should help these less fortunate girls and women in their search for a better life by giving them a voice and a face.
A few weeks ago, I met an extraordinary man, M. Denis Mukwege, a Congolese doctor at the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu/East Congo. Dr. Mukwege was in Brussels where he was awarded the prestigious King Baudouin International Development Prize. I was deeply moved by the heartbreaking stories he told and by his unceasing efforts to help thousands of female survivors of sexual violence in that region. He is a true advocate for breaking the silence on this grave injustice. He is a source of hope and inspiration for many women and girl victims. His dedication and commitment are remarkable.
It is absolutely crucial that men speak up against the stigma with which many women and girl victims have to cope. Equality and respect will never be achieved without the full involvement of men and boys. They are part of the solution.
We also need to consider how men and women can play an equally important role in providing support for the protection of women in conflict areas. The issue of women's participation in peace-building and post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation gained momentum, when the UN Security Council adopted several resolutions including the groundbreaking Security Council resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. That was ten years ago and today we can see that the participation of women in peace building still remains marginal.
Last year I visited Liberia, a country torn apart by civil war but committed to rebuilding and returning to the family of democratic nations under the leadership of President Sirleaf Johnson- another remarkable person deeply concerned with the position of women in society.
I also met with a female battalion of the United Nations Mission in Liberia, UNMIL, very competent women trying hard to protect Liberian girls and women against violence and to prevent it from happening. A positive example. However, the involvement of women in peace making and post-conflict situations needs to become more substantive if a sustainable peace is to be achieved.
As I said earlier, every country is confronted in one way or another by violence against women and girls.
In Europe, our approach is based on the principles of prevention and prosecution, and the protection of women and girls. They form a reference for national policies aimed at eliminating violence and influencing the root causes and the behavior and attitudes that would lead to acts of violence. Impunity from punishment should be stopped by ensuring that women are specifically protected under the law and have equal access to justice.
To mobilize women on a governmental and European level, a European summit was held last year. This Summit gathered together the women ministers of the European Union, whatever their areas of responsibility. The aim of the event was to highlight the importance of fighting different forms of violence against women in the European Union and to break taboos.
Prevention and sensibilization are indeed key issues. Engaging all stakeholders, including the civil society, religious and community leaders, the private sector, youth, men, and the media is essential if we want to change social attitudes.
No country can reach sustainable development, if it does not include and engage half of its population. It is therefore vital to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
Once again, I thank the Council of Women World Leaders for giving me the opportunity to bring the issue of violence against women and girls to the attention of this distinguished audience. I am looking forward to listening to your experiences.

Kathy Sullivan: Gambling already is widespread and popular here
Opposition to expanded gambling is driven by bad information, lack of information, and bias. One example is the notion that licensing a casino will destroy the New Hampshire we all love. This fails to recognize that gambling already is occurring in our state, and the New Hampshire we love is still here.
Non-lottery, on-premise gambling is a significant industry. According to the fiscal year 2012 annual report of the Racing and Gaming Commission, we have 11 commercial bingo halls and 11 "games of chance" facilities that feature poker rooms and/or table games. Combined, Lucky 7 ticket sales, bingo sales and games-of-chance betting totaled about $155 million in 2012. This represents about an 18 percent growth over the last four years.
There also is video gambling. "Entertainment only" video poker machines are so profitable that the City of Manchester is able to charge a license fee of $2,000 for a machine. A casino with video gaming will put a dent into illegal gambling operations based on these machines.
Gambling opponents point to the "social issues," particularly gambling addiction. Those issues are already here. In addition to the volume of legal and illegal gambling occurring in New Hampshire, a number of residents gamble outside the state. According to a 2009 New Hampshire Center for Public Policy report, 21 percent of the state's residents had gambled at a casino in the prior 12 months. More than half of state residents (56 percent) had engaged in some form of gambling, including casinos and lottery tickets.
Gambling opponents are not realistic about the extent of gambling by New Hampshire residents both inside and outside the state. As a result, they are forcing us to carry the burdens of legal and illegal gambling without the economic benefits of legal expanded gambling, which could address those issues. When Massachusetts opens its casinos and causes the smaller "charitable" New Hampshire facilities to close, we will be deprived of what little revenue we receive from those venues, worsening the fiscal downside of not licensing a casino.
Opponents are pointing to a new Public Policy report to support their inaccurate claims that gambling revenues are not reliable and are down across the county. That less-than-in-depth report, however, cherry picks selected data and fails to provide statistics that point to the opposite conclusion. The report makes the assertion that gambling revenues are down nationally, relying on data from Las Vegas, Atlantic City and New Hampshire lottery ticket sales. Its conclusions flow from that faulty assertion.
Data from the American Gaming Association, which surveys casinos across the country, shows a 1 percent increase in 2010 and a 3 percent increase in 2011. A 2012 University of Massachusetts Center for Policy Analysis study of nine Northeastern states concludes that casino gaming in the Northeast is likely to show continued significant growth over the long term.
In addition, the New Hampshire Public Policy report limited its review of Granite State gambling revenues to an approximate $25 million drop in lottery ticket sales from 2007 through 2011. It failed to note that revenues from table games at "charitable" gambling facilities grew in that same period, from about $45 million in 2008 to $79 million in 2012, a growth of $34 million. Legislators should be careful in relying on the report's conclusions, given its faulty underpinnings.
Another source of opposition stems from those who view gambling disdainfully. For many Granite Staters, however, gambling is a form of entertainment, as legitimate and enjoyable as attending a wine tasting or a concert, and probably more fun than attending a Red Sox game these last two seasons. I know from personal experience, having gambled in Connecticut, Las Vegas and other locations.
Though it may not be everyone's entertainment of choice, the personal biases of a minority should not stand in the way of the economic benefits of a casino to New Hampshire.
If this were an election, gambling would win in a bipartisan landslide. According to the most recent UNH Survey Center poll, 62 percent of those surveyed support expanded gambling, including a strong majority of Democrats at 59 percent and Republicans at 67 percent. Legislators should listen to their constituents on this one, not to opponents who are giving them incomplete or wrong information.

I understand protein will work for me, but is a complement needed by me? Whey, soy and egg, casein which protein is not amiss for me personally and what does every one do?Let's have the facts straight. Protein exists in virtually exactly what makes and goes sounds, or in nearly every dog. Major nutritional protein resources contain buffalo, eggs, hen, pork, meat, venison, fish and many other wild animals.But which can be protein's best source? Ah, the trillion dollar problem. Much like any product, no protein powder will match what Nature supplies on earth. More quality vitamins are delivered by organic proteins to your body than any protein powder for man previously could. Nonetheless, protein powders do have their place.Scientist attended quite a distance in their growth of protein products, including how they taste. Perhaps lately, the most effective you might expect using a protein move was that it could be choked by you down despite its taste and consistency. Now they actually taste not bad. Today there are lots of protein grains and meal replacement drinks in the marketplace. The important thing is currently locating the best quality products together with bioavailability's highest level.Much of your source of protein ought to be other seafood and beef, fish, chicken, eggs. The protein source ought to be grass-fed and organic, free-range or crazy. These furnish the body with all the highest-quality protein, provided that they're not grilled, or cooked extremely casually, because heat denatures protein (eliminates meats).Additional solutions include commercial foods, farm-lifted bass, and also other genetically modified organisms like soy. Protein also can be within different ingredients like some veggies, beans, almonds and certain grains. However, your best resources for packing on the muscle of protein, are organic meat and fish.Protein shakes or meal substitutes must be the last-place you should turn to fulfill your protein requirements that are body's. While they could be beneficial, remember, nothing beats Mommy Nature's proteins not even a scientist-designed protein for making you healthy and solid. Protein supplements-are specially useful for vegetarians, vegetarians and low - whose lifestyle prevents them from consuming proteins during the day or meat eaters, as well as for those who have troubles running heavy proteins.A protein beverage or supper-alternative shake is an excellent day meal for all those get-up-and-proceed types who just are brief promptly but know the way critical breakfast would be to developing muscle and losing weight. Breakfast is the most significant meal of any nutritious diet, therefore a protein move that is quick is crucial for folks who just don't have time for you to make a great breakfast.The most effective protein shakes or grains are made from egg. Use protein from milk products, casein, sparingly. Prevent soy meats, usually are not genetically unmodified and as these would be the cheapest goods you can buy. Genetic change means scientists have improved the patient from its pure condition, a practice frustrated by most low-soy- professionals. Do your own separate analysis although you want, but usually look at the supply.

Shaq going to China has been one of the best moves of the offseason. - RM
As traumatic as the first trade of a young player's career is said to be, Ryan Anderson appears to be grieving about as much as a lottery winner after being sent to Orlando from New Jersey as part of the draft-day deal involving Vince Carter.
"The way that the trade went about, it wasn't a traumatic thing," Anderson said. "If it was a situation where New Jersey was like, 'We don't want this guy, let's put him in the deal with Vince, throw him out of here….'
"That's definitely not what it was. I talked to the whole staff in New Jersey. It was a hard decision for them to make, but if I could go with anybody, I'm glad I came with Vince."

This is how you win championships, if you're a Nuggets fan
And if you're a Lakers fan, that's Kobe's audition for the Generals
Editors' Notes: Click here to watch the play with the Globetrotters theme song playing and here for the Benny Hill Theme.
Anyway, there was a really funny moment Thursday night that could have only happened at a Lakers game. Near the end of a third-quarter timeout, they showed Val Kilmer and three of his chins on the Jumbotron, punctuating the moment by playing "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. You know, a "Top Gun" homage. He took a second or two to get the joke, then unleashed one of those "Very funny, you got me, just know that I'm on a lot of meds right now" smiles. And this would have been enjoyable on its own, but they cut to someone else in the stands…
That's right…
Tom Cruise!
He caught on a little quicker and did the Tom Cruise Over-Laugh. And this would have been great on its own, but the Lakers pushed it to another level: They wentsplit-screen with Kilmer and Cruise with "Danger Zone" still blasting. As far as I was concerned, this was the most emotional reunion in Lakers history. Cruise kept laughing; Kilmer looked mildly perturbed. (After all, he's an actor, dammit! That was 23 years ago! He's made a lot of movies since then!) At this point, I was praying they'd cut to Anthony Edwards in Section 312 but he wasn't there…
Emphasis mine… "mildly perturbed"? ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!?!??! -_- YES YES YES YES YES
I am on the case.

How do I handle my feelings of failure for not breastfeeding?
I've tried exhaustively -- and unsuccessfully -- to breastfeed my baby. It was always a struggle, even after I got professional help. During my pregnancy I was so excited about the idea of breastfeeding. Now I feel like a failure, especially because of all the information out there about breast milk being best. What should I do?

I completely understand how you feel. My baby just couldn't latch on properly. I was a bit disappointed but after I kept trying and was only receiving blood blisters (the lactation expert said that was due to improper latching and they were quite painful) I decided to try pumping to make sure it was just a latching on problem not a milk problem. Well it was just a latching on problem so I pump and feed the baby breast milk and that seemed to work. But if your baby won't even take breast milk that way don't worry - they seem to have this inner instinct that tells them what they need and if formula is what is working for them, I say let them have it. They say that breastfeeding is what creates the bond, I don't think so - I don't think the bond between my baby and myself couldn't be any stronger than what it is.posted 08/30/2004 by fn_esse
My son is 5 months now and I have started the process to wean him. I was very lucky that my son latched on good and was satisfied with the milk I produced. I also gave him some formula at the beginning when i was building my milk supply. However it's nice to know that you try, for most women it is not very easy. I am just one of the lucky ones, but the bond that a mother has with a child is something special no matter how you are feeding your child. Good luck!posted 08/30/2004 by buitragom
Even though I've successfully breastfed both of my daughters (both C-sections) I fully support moms doing whatever they can - they and their babies need to be happy, that's what matters. To me, it seems just as hard for us breastfeeding moms, it's much harder to get the support from society in general. So, I understand from the opposite side. Ultimately, kids survive and happy mommy=happy baby & vice versa. It's just one of the many guilt trips that you can go on - get ready, there are a lot! Acknowledge it, then go on, there's many more difficult challenges to come and congratulate yourself for making the effort!!!!!posted 08/30/2004 by JanaKT
Ana Lucia Please don't feel bad, I too couldn't breast-feed my daughter. I probably only gave her a tiny amount which I pumped every day for 6 weeks. She was prem and unable to feed, and as I'm diabetic needed formula to maintain good blood sugars. I was made to feel terrible by the hospital, as though I wasn't trying. I was ignored and even now the first question I'm asked is why don't I breast feed. Now I just tell people to mind their own business, or ask them some suitably personal question back. You obviously love your baby and that is the most important thing. Also remember a bonus of formula feeding is that your partner/friends/family can all help out and give you a night off. Enjoy your baby and don't worry-millions of babies have grown up healthy on formula.posted 08/30/2004 by Carol Speight
please try not to dwell on "failing" at nursing your baby. When our son was born 3 weeks early he had trouble latching on. It was so frustrating and he was miserable b/c he was starving. I began pumping every 2 hours around the clock. He finally started gaining weight and his jaundice cleared up, but the whole process was killing me. I would pump, feed him, burp him, lay him down in the bouncer (he has reflux and can't lay flat), then wash and sterilize the pumping equipment, and then I'd finally get to lie down for 30 minutes before it was time to start the whole process all over again. I became exhausted (afterall I was recovering from a C-section too!) and was growing annoyed with all the foods I couldn't eat anymore without giving the baby gas. I called it quits after 9 weeks. Since then we are all much happier and our son is doing fine. Once you decide to let it go - do just that - Let it go.posted 08/30/2004 by augustmoots
you shouldn't feel like a failure because you can't breastfeed. i had the same problem with my son, and i felt horrible, until my mom told me there's nothing wrong with bottle fed babies and some women just aren't meant to breastfeed.posted 08/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I had the same problem with my first boy. He couldn't latch on no matter how much help we got. I was devastated. I ended up breast pumping for a year. My son received the full benefits of breast milk. That's all that mattered to me. My second boy, now 4 months, is a fully fledged breast feeding baby. I spent alot of time educating myself on proper latch on. He has had the bottle a total of 5 times. In hind sight, pumping and bottle feeding was not so bad. Our feeding sessions can last an hour. I still pump 3 times a day to help keep up supply and drain. Keep up the hope that you will get the chance next time.posted 08/30/2004 by Kats1966
Please don't feel bad. I just went through a similar situation with my three month old son. I tried and tried to breastfeed my son. When it started not to work out, I got really down on myself and was upset all the time. I wasn't able to enjoy my new son because I felt like a failure. After working with a professional, I decided to pump. That was very difficult because I wasn't able to produce enough milk to store it. I was pumping "on demand" every two hours. After many a talks with my husband and my son's doctor, I decided to give it up. The day I returned the rented breast pump was the happiest day of my life. I was finally able to relax and enjoy my son and husband again. I know how hard it is to not feel like a failure. Those feelings take up valuable time you could be spending with your new child. Good luck!!posted 08/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I am breastfeeding my 5 month old successfully, but it was at least 3 months before it became "easy." It is wonderfully if you are able to breastfeed, but not doing it doesn't make you a bad mother. My husband and I were both formula-fed and turned out just fine and we both still love our mommas!posted 08/30/2004 by monicamcoffey
You are not a failure for not breastfeeding your child. Breastfeeding is very hard work. It took me 2 weeks and a lot of tears to finally get it right with my first daughter and I was ready to give up. I also supplemented with formula. Do not feel bad for not being able to breastfeed....you know how hard you have tried.posted 08/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez got into a physical altercation at Halle Berry's home on Thursday, Nov. 22, Us Weekly has confirmed.
A Hollywood division watch commander for the LAPD tells Us "the investigation is ongoing" and says "the cause of the fight between the two men is unknown." However, law enforcement sources tell TMZ the fight began when Aubry showed up with his daughter, Nahla, 4, for a custodial handoff to Berry. After Martinez (the Academy Award winner's fiance) reportedly told the model, "We have to move on," Aubry pushed the actor and threw a punch at him.
PHOTOS: How Nahla Aubry has grown up
The two continued to struggle until Martinez managed to pin Aubry to the ground, according to TMZ. The site also claims Aubry sustained a broken rib, contusions on his face and a possible head injury. Martinez may have broken his hand and suffered neck injuries.
Police were called to make a citizen's arrest for battery against Aubry, 36. The watch commander tells Us that "no one has been booked yet. One man was transported with unknown injuries to a local hospital. I do not know the extent of the injuries or if he remains in the hospital." UPDATE: The Associated Press reports that Aubry was arrested and booked for investigation of battery, a misdemeanor charge; he was released on $20,000 bail, with a court date set for Dec. 13.
PHOTOS: Halle Berry's body through the years
According to Radar Online, Martinez, Aubry and Berry were cordial during a pre-holiday party Nov. 21.
Earlier this month, a judge ruled that Berry, 46, will not be able to move to France full-time with Nahla. Following their April 2010 split, the exes have been engaged in a nasty custody battle.
PHOTOS: Halle Berry's age-defying style
Twice-married Berry has been engaged to her Dark Tide costar Martinez, 46, since late 2011. Aubry briefly dated Kim Kardashian in late 2010.

"I asked WPD to add a map to the front of this card and it was a really easy process - just e-mail the file in. I did have to coach a few times on the placement, but I was very happy with the end product! I love that they were able to accommodate my requests at no additional cost. Additionally, they proof read the text make sure everything made sense."
"I really wanted a two sided direction card because I needed directions to church and then from church to the reception venue. Because my design is pretty minimal they had no problem doing that and at no extra charge. I also got this in purple with the shimmer. Great size too!"
"Our designer helped us with our response cards and invitations but did BY FAR the most work on the enclosure cards. She let us do front and back, organized everything so perfectly, and suggested different ways for us to lay everything out. I couldn't be more appreciative or happy with how they came out!"
"We modified this so the 'Directions' were 'Dress' and made it the same size as the other headings. We also changed the border to match the RSVP and main invite as well as getting the yellow back."
"My fiance and I didn't order these at the time we did our invitations, but after being very pleased with those, we quickly ordered the matching reception cards! We were able to customize the top line in script to say "Cocktails, Dancing & Hors d'oeuvres" because we aren't having a sit-down dinner. Then the next line read, "immediately following the ceremony." We then gave the address and explained how to walk there from the ceremony. The cards turned out beautifully, and the ability to customize everything with the WPD designer was great. We haven't sent them out yet, but both mothers loved them, and the whole invitation suite, which is amazing!"

People now pay a lot of attention to how a love for animals nourishes empathy, communication, and other good things among the young. Palling around with pets may even improve kids' physical health, not just their growing minds. By […] [Read More]
Cats and Their Bladders
Inappropriate urination is common among cats surrendered to shelters. Figuring out what causes this frustrating condition isn't easy. Most cat owners have found themselves pondering what combination of physical conditions—excessive ash in diet? urinary tract inflammation? too much water?—and behavioral issues—resentment? attention seeking? cat politics?—might be driving a cat to urinate where it shouldn't. (And […] [Read More]

Puppy Mills' Damage to Mental Health
Many subtle things go into canine behavior. Have you ever had a dog with significant behavior problems even though you did everything right? Not just a minor lapse like a snatched sandwich, but issues such as anxiety, fear, impulse control, aggression, obsessive-compulsive disorders? Just like people, dogs are bundles of influences, a mixture sometimes called […] [Read More]
Put the Puppy Mills out of Business
Now that we're all comfortable with shopping online, I want you to stop—stop buying dogs over the Internet, that is. Why?

The problem has gotten too big to ignore, and it's been happening right […] [Read More]

In the spirit of tax season, let's crunch some numbers. I'll use the short form, I promise.

In 1970 Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, an American folk musician from Detroit, released Cold Fact, an album inspired by life, love, poverty and rebellion. The album saw slow sales and mixed reviews, and after trying and seemingly failing again with the album Coming from Reality, Rodriguez disappeared entirely from the public eye. Amid death rumors, Rodriguez and his music were becoming hugely successful on the other side of the world. In South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Cold Fact went multi-platinum and became a cult classic. Now, four decades later, Rodriguez is back and capturing new fans through the critically acclaimed documentary Searching for Sugar Man.

Exhibit offers snapshots of couple's adventures
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Virginia Sanders was a painter and sketcher. But it wasn't until she and her late husband, Dr. Jack Sanders, became a couple that she became a photographer as well.
"He showed me that you're not just snapping a snapshot," Sanders said. "There's a lot you can do with photography."
The couple's photography will be on display from Thursday, May 14, through Thursday, June 25, in the
"Sanders Memorial Photography Show" at the Senior Friendship Center, in Sarasota. The show is co-sponsored by the Senior Friendship Center and the Suncoast Camera Club and features 72 photographs — 39 by Jack Sanders, who died last August, and 33 by Virginia Sanders.
The show includes pictures of local subjects, such as turtles, peacocks and actors in a local medieval fair.
Many were shot with the Suncoast Camera Club, which Jack Sanders founded 28 years ago.
Other photographs feature subjects from the Sanderses' travels. In the photograph, "Leopard in the Tree Top," Jack Sanders captured a leopard in Kenya resting on a tree branch.
Virginia Sanders, who traveled mostly in the United States before she married Jack, recently read the memoir of famed photographer Osa Johnson, entitled "I Married Adventure: The Lives of Martin and Osa Johnson." In the book, Johnson tells how she thought she would stay put in her native Kansas, but wound up in Africa, photographing whatever adventures she and her husband encountered.
To Virginia Sanders, the story sounded familiar.

Asignación Universal por Hijo para Protección Social: una política de inclusión para los más vulnerables
[Universal Allocation per Child for Social Protection: an inclusion policy for the most vulnerable]
AbstractConditioned transfers programs are used by several countries in the region as a mechanism to fight poverty and inequality. These policies are basically aimed at focusing monetary transferences on families with underage children, and to condition the same so as to promote health care and human capital formation of children. By means of decree 1602/09, the Argentinean government sought to extend the benefits of the universal allocation per child for workers in the formal sector of the economy, to those children whose parents are either informal or unemployed workers. Considering the number of minors benefited by this policy and its positive effects on the short and long-term brought about by health and education conditions, the universal allocation per child is, undoubtedly, one of the most important social welfare programs implemented in the recent years with a clear objective of equal distribution. This work intends to analyze the universal allocation per child in terms of social protection. The first sections describe the contributory system of family allocations per child along with the new non-contributory universal allocation. Sections 3 & 4 address an estimate of this benefit's contribution on aggregate demand and poverty levels. Section 5 presents a brief analysis on the re-distributory impact of regional allocation, while section 6 provides general conclusions. This work ends with an appendix presenting a compared analysis of the universal allocation per child with other similar programs in Latin America.

Liam Neeson Loves
Quran, Adhan & Salat!
"Left a meeting to PRAY?"
You Can Leave Him A Message!
Say Something & Make a Difference
Istanbul, Turkey - August 2014 ~ New movie with Liam Neeson portrays him as a high jacker in an airplane, saying "I'm not a terrorist. I'm trying to save this airplane"... What does this mean to us???
Although still not confirmed to be an active Muslim, the famous movie actor Liam Neeson [Schindler's List, Star Wars, Taken, Batman Begins, Clash of the Titans, A-Team, Chronicles of Narnia] says, "Adhan (call to prayer for Islam) is very beautiful in a special way"
We were able to get more on his visits to mosques, talking with imams and even stopping an important meeting to go for salah.
But did he really accept Islam when he entered a mosque in Turkey (while filming TAKEN 2)?
Does he regularly do his salat (Islamic prayers to God facing the East)?
Here's what we have (source - Wikipedia):
June 2012 - a number of reports claiming eyewitnesses saw Neeson converting to Islam (submission to God in Peace) came out in news media. It is claimed he enter a mosque in Istanbul, pronounced something in front of the imam and actually did the salat.
Still other claims say he left an important meeting in Hollywood at prayer time to do salat. In face, he personally continues to express affection for the adhan (Islamic call to prayers) that he got used to while filming the movie Taken 2 in Turkey. He says, "By the 3rd week, it was like I could not live without it. It really became hypnotic and very moving for me in a very special way. Very beautiful". Neeson's publicist said he actually has not come to Islam, as of yet.
Liam Neeson does not deny that he loves listening to Quran and adhan, admires Islam and is thinking to convert from Catholic to Islam.
[Listen to young boy calling the 'adhan']
There really is a problem. Liam Neeson's publicist, is rejecting anything about the famous actor entering Islam or being a Muslim, in spite of clear statements Nesson made in the past to the contrary.
Actor Neeson has been quoted in newsprint and articles as saying he loved hearing the adhan while filming in Turkey and even saying he may go to Islam.
Was this an effort by his agent to put off any possibility that major studios might cancel contracts or stop recordings? Obviously there is something going on here. But exactly what?
What ideas do you have to reassure Liam Neeson, his agent and sponsors know it would not be bad for him to go to Islam? In fact, they could see it aa a great opportunity for free publicity and a whole new market share in the Muslim world.
So post your comments and let them all see - PLEASE!
It has been a while since we asked our readers to write something for the famous movie actor and we still would like to see him make a move to what is better for him, but at least tell the world about Islam while we have their attention, inshallah.
We want him to know about real Islam and the beautiful teachings of the Quran.
Today, we see more evidence than ever of those who have contributed and those who have read and benefitted for your comments. People everywhere are more aware of the true Islam from these types of efforts and we ask you to continue - and we ask Allah to accept and bless us all, ameen.
Here is the original story we have all be leaving messages (at the bottom) . . READ:
[originally posted Jan 27, 2012]
We've reported on progress of Liam Neeson to Islam for several months. Now it is your turn to leave a message for him. Just say what is in your heart to help him know who Allah really is, and why Islam is the Way to worship Allah.
At the end of this article you have a text box to tell him your name and email addressÂÂ (but only if you want to) and a message. Do your best to help Liam Neeson know the truth.
One imam said, "He just needs to make his final move (but not another movie) ~ a MOVE to take his Shahadah for Islam."
What can you mention in a quick message to him (below)?
Want to help us give dawah to Liam Neeson?
We are asking our readers to leave a short message for him today.
Liam Neeson wants to know more about love in Islam.
You can add a comment to our list (below). When he sees it, he just might take your advice & CHOOSE ISLAM ANY DAY NOW!
So, the real question is: "Will He Make Public Shahadah?"
Q. Is he already a 'secret Muslim'?
- But he must do the following:
1. Say shahadah, "Laa elaha ilallah, Muhammadar Rasoolullah" and do this from the heart in full sincerity.
2. Begin his salat (prayers) and learn to recite Quran (in Arabic) as much as he can -ÂÂ (he says he loves to hear Quran & Adhan)
3. Step by step begin to learn and follow all the tenants of Islam based on Quran and sunnah of our prophet, peace be upon him.
[click here video Islam Basics] - [Beliefs in Islam] - [Actions of Islam]
Only Alllah guides, but we get reward just to leave him a message about Islam.
Tell him to wake up in this month of Mercy and make his shahadah. . .
Your words could help him come to Islam.
Get the reward of a herd of red camels (something very valueable). Help us get these messages out to him!
OK - Now Here's Proof He Loves Islam!
He loves to hear Adhan
He wants to know more
Yes! & Yes & Yes! . . . .
Al Hamdulillah for the Guidance of Allah, He Guides whoever He wills to His deen.ÂÂ
Here's an idea - We can help him . . . (bottom of the page - write to him)
Let's leave messages for him and tell others to do so as well.
At the end of this story, you can COMMENT (bottom of this page) and let him and others know what true Islam is about - and share this link with everyone (now please):
Durning his stay in Turkey, actor Liam Neeson has decided the salat (prayers) of Islam is appealing to him as well as the beautiful sound of the adhan (call to p
Here is what we find from the papers in Ireland - READ . . .
Shannon, Ireland -- Liam Neeson considering Islam, according to reporters
The desire to convert comes from spending time filming in Turkey, according to The Sun.
The Northern Ireland actor, who comes from a Catholic background, told the newspaper that the call to prayer in Istanbul drove him to distraction for the first week of filming but he then began to find it "the most beautiful, beautiful thing".
Neeson, a former altar boy in Ballymena, said: "There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim."
Actor Liam Neeson - Nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA and three Golden Globe Awards during his career.
He has starred in a number of notable roles including Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List and Michael Collins.
Neeson was married to actress Natasha Richardson for 15 years before her death in 2009, when she suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident at the Mont Tremblant Resort, in Quebec.
It's not the first time Liam Neeson spoke of religion. Matter of fact, Neeson was heavily critisized for putting down claims of author C.S. Lewis - about Narnia lion, Aslan being based on Jesus.
Neeson – who voiced the character in the film adaptation – instead claimed the character 'Aslan' was based on other spiritual leaders including Mohammed (peace be upon him).
"Aslan symbolises for me... Mohammed and all the great ...prophets over the centuries," he said at the time.
"That's who Aslan stands for as well as a mentor figure for kids – that's what he means for me."
So, Could He Become A Muslim?
Note: Liam Neeson has confirmed his love for the adhan and admires the salat.
But we must convince him NOT to play the part of any kind of 'god' or even be in movies of pagan gods!
Write to him (here) - but don't push him, and do be patient.
We invite you to leave nice comments for him to read (now please)
& ask others to do the same, inshallah.
You Never Know - It might be your comment that opens his heart . . .

Three for all
Andre Dawson, Doug Harvey and Whitey Herzog take their place among baseball's immortals
By Bill Francis
July 25, 2010
Three new teammates – Hawk, the White Rat, and god - were added the National Baseball Hall of Fame's roster – and the trio was thrilled to become members of this legendary squad.
At the Induction Ceremony held outside at the Clark Sports Center on Sunday afternoon, approximately 10,000 spectators were on hand to witness the coronation of player Andre Dawson, manager Whitey Herzog and umpire Doug Harvey. From this day forward they will forever be members of the greatest club ever assembled.
Under come early clouds and occasional rain, the day's production began with the introduction of 47 members of the Hall of Fame returning to pay their respects to the latest members of the fraternity.
Harvey's speech, prerecorded due to voice concerns and shown on screens throughout the site, focused on the role of the arbiter in the game.
"I realize that for many of you fans, this may be the only time in your life you will hear from a major league umpire, so there are a few things I would like to share with you," said Harvey, nicknamed god. "I have heard it said that umpires are a necessary evil. Well, we are necessary, but we are not evil. We are hard working and dedicated people whose primary interest is to make sure the game is played fairly. We are the integrity of the game.
"I studied my rule book two hours a day for every day that I worked in the minor leagues. Two hours every day, and I never missed," he added. "All you players, managers, umpires, broadcasters or writers at any level, I suggest you know the rules, the real rules, not the made up ones."
Harvey would also share with the audience the burden the lifestyle of an umpire places on a family.
"During the season, baseball was the most important thing in my life. It demanded that I travel constantly, every three to four days doing to a different city. There are no homestands for an umpire," Harvey said. "It kept me from my family for the whole season, and they felt the sacrifice as much as I did. You have to realize that my average for being home and sleeping in my own bed from 1962 to 1968 was three nights a season, because we didn't live in a major league city.
"I'd fly into San Diego, get my wife and children, and drive to L.A., work three games, then my wife would drive the kids home, and I would hop a plane to the next city," he added. "My wife kept a picture of me by the phone so that when I called, the boys could see my face. In 1969, the Padres came to San Diego, and then I average about nine nights a season at home. Nine nights in seven months."
According to Harvey, his father, years ago, told him that someday he would wake up and realize what he had accomplished.
"Today, I woke up in Cooperstown, and now I know what he meant. As we all know, Cooperstown is the home of baseball. One of the many duties of the home plate umpire is to make sure that the runner touches home. Well, if you are a true baseball fan, you need to visit Cooperstown. This is home. And you need to promise yourself that you'll touch home before the end of the game. I'll be watching you to make sure."
For Herzog, his enshrinement is the direct result of the help of others.
"When something like this happens to you, you say to yourself, 'How did this happen?' And then you start thinking about all the people, good people you worked with, all the good people you worked for, all the good coaches that worked for you," Herzog said. "And I'm not here because I'm a player. I'm here because of managing. And I had a lot of good players play for me."
Herzog would then say that none of this would have happened if it hadn't been for some illustrious people, including high on the list fellow Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. The White Rat first crossed paths with The Old Perfessor while attending a New York Yankees rookie camp in 1954.
"When I met Stengel, it was like an enlightening thing because I would go to bed at night, and instead of thinking about girls I would be thinking about what he talked about all day," said Herzog with a smile. "He had is own language and it took me hours sometimes to figure him out.
"Casey was an outstanding teacher, he was a very smart baseball man and he and I became fast friends," he added. "Casey told me so many things that I've been using the rest of my life. But for some reason he knew that I was going to be a big league manager. My high school teachers would have died if they had heard him say that. But the big thing is he knew. So, as smart as I am, most of it is because of Casey Stengel. He's been awful good to me."
Herzog ended his induction speech by relaying a query he's been receiving for over seven months
"Ever since December, every question that anybody asks me is this: What's if feel like to be a Hall of Famer? Well, I don't know. I kept saying I won't know until July 25th," Herzog said. "Well, now I can tell you what it feels like. Being elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York is like going to heaven before you die."
Dawson spent the majority of his speech extolling the virtues of the National Pastime to the youngsters out there, repeating the theme that "if you love this game, the game will love you back."
"I am proof that any young person who can hear my voice right now can be standing here, as I am," he said. "Like most of us up here, by the age of eight, I was using a busted broom handle for a bat and using rocks as a ball. By then I knew I was born to play this game. I dabbled in other sports, sure – my knees are proof of that – but baseball was my love. And baseball is where I belonged. And I found out quickly that if you love this game, the game will love you back.
"It's still a great game, too. It bothers me when I hear people knock the game. There's nothing wrong with the game of baseball. Baseball will from time to time, and like anything else in life, fall victim to the mistakes that people make. It's not pleasant and it's not right. Those mistakes have hurt the game and taken a toll on all of us. Individuals have chosen the wrong road and have chosen that as their legacy. Others still have a chance to choose theirs. Do not be lured to the dark side. It's a stain on the game, a stain gradually being removed.
"But that's the people, not the game. There's nothing wrong with the game. Never has been. I think people just forget why we ever got involved in the game in the first place. When we were nine of 10 years old, we just loved playing the game. What we found was that if you put your heart into this game, if you love this game, the game will love you back. That's why I made it here and anyone who can hear my voice right now can be standing here, as I am."
Dawson would close by sharing a story about his mother, Mattie Brown, who passed away four years ago.
"She was my mom. She was my dad. She was my big sister. My big brother. My best friend. She was my whole world for a very long time in my life. And I only wish she were here to see this," said the Hawk. "Before she passed, she dreamt of this moment, she dreamt of this day. She promised me it would happen. And my mother never, never broke a promise to us. She said it's inevitable, what God has planned no man can change. More than anyone else or anything else, this is for my mom."
