Game Warden Career Information and Education Requirements
Research game warden career information. Learn about the job duties, education and training requirements to make an informed decision about becoming a game warden.
Career Information
Game wardens are peace officers tasked with enforcing the laws regarding wild animals, especially those relevant to hunting and fishing. The areas they patrol are varied, including wilderness, parks and waterways. As government employees, game wardens must be U.S. citizens 21 years or older. Positions often require complete background checks, and they may also require polygraph testing prior to hiring. A felony record may prevent applicants from being selected. Additionally, physical fitness and firearms proficiency are considered job requirements.
Job Duties
Game wardens generally enforce a specific area of the law. They are concerned with the poaching of both fish and wildlife. In addition to hunting law, game wardens may also be called on to enforce boating laws and assist in search and rescue operations. Game wardens often patrol alone, and with limited backup, in remote areas. They may travel not only by car or truck, but also by foot, all-terrain vehicle or watercraft. Like all law enforcement positions, this one can be relatively dangerous. Additionally, the extensive training commitment may be difficult for some applicants, as it may create additional strain on family obligations.
Salary Information and Employment Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), game wardens earned a median annual salary of $48,760 as of 2013. Employment growth in the field is expected to experience little to no change throughout the 2012-2022 decade, the BLS states, leading to competition for positions.
Education Requirements
Departments may now require that applicants have 4-year degrees. In some cases, these are 2+2 degrees, meaning that the future game wardens complete police training in a 2-year associate program before moving to a 4-year institution to complete bachelor's programs. Not all departments require bachelor's degrees for all applicants, and law enforcement or military training may substitute in some cases.
Training Requirements
Once game wardens have been provisionally hired, they immediately begin training in an approved of state-run program that may last 3-12 months. These programs cover physical fitness, legal knowledge, firearms training, wilderness knowledge and a host of other skills necessary for the position.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Laura Keehner said that FEMA's staged press conference is "inexcusable to the secretary." FEMA is part of DHS. Keehner described the incident as a lapse in judgment, but said "stunts such as this will not be tolerated" and noted that "the senior leadership of the department is taking this very seriously." "This is offensive, inexcusable," she told USA Today.

Crew Cut: Hierarchy Ranks and Recruitment Frenzy
With last week's release of the all-new Social Club Crew Hierarchies feature, we've seen Crew Leaders jumping to exert their authority and assign rank amongst their mobbed up minions. Crews of all sizes and statures, from perennial top dog Founder LXG Crew down to eager upstarts like the GTA Annihilators, have been busy promoting and demoting Crew members to the positions of Commissioner, Lieutenant, Representative and Muscle. Here's a quick look at how some squads have been parlaying the feature to tighten up their ranks for this fall's planned extended holiday in Los Santos & Blaine County...
Four Leaders with an early embracing of the new Crew Hierarchy system (Clockwise from top): DutchStoner of the Ganja Outlaws, ITALIAN of Slaughterhouse, PhatGordo13 of GTAForums and ErnestoRock2 of One Bullet At A Time.
Crew Leaders, Commissioners and Lieutenants, do give a shout in comments below to share your Hierarchy strategy thus far...
The Lost NZ (LOST) Crew are another group of auteurs who are using the power of the moving image to spread the word of their squad, which you can peep here.
And while trying to find likeminded Social Club members to Crew up with here in Newswire comments is cool, some Crew leaders have learned that it helps to spread the good word on other social networks as well for results. Seems like every few minutes, there's someone on Twitter shouting out or looking for a Crew to align with. If you're lucky, we just might help you out by sharing your recruitment tweet with Rockstar followers worldwide. Such was the case for AgentP50, leader of the 182 Brotherhood (182B) Crew who we spotted and retweeted this week – taking his ranks from a relative handful of members to 132 as of press time, in less than a day. Also a shout to Inbetwixt, leader of the 657 BOYZ, whose membership has doubled in a similar case. While this will be something we'll only be doing once in a while, it's certainly advantageous to expand your recruitment message via tweets, Facebook and even Instagram posts to staff up that sick clique for GTA Online.
As we mentioned last time, EnigmaAssassin of the Ice Cold Assassins Crew (ICED) and HOT_KIMERA of the HOT CLAN Crew (HOTZ) hosted an epic 2 vs 2 Max Payne 3 free aim tournament, in which Crews had some of their top players battle it out for multiplayer bragging rights. For several weekends earlier this summer, what started as 28 Crews faced off in best-of-three 10-minute rounds of Team Deathmatch. Tietê River Docks was played in Game 1, Nova Esperança in Game 2 and, if a Game 3 was necessary, that was to be played at the São Paulo Bus Depot.
A highlight of Round 1 was the matchup between The Hardcore A Team (TEAM) Crew) and The Gallant Psychos (TGPS) Crew. In a Crew Cut one year ago, we regarded TGPS as being on the fast track to success - one month from their inception they were already in the Top 30. However impressive, those accolades meant nothing in this latest competition and TEAM dominated TGPS, winning both games, 42-18 and 38-23. With COMNADO DE ELITE (BOPE) Crew's israel-lucas leading the first round in kills, one could say their squad were the favorites against the Rock Heart (SEXY) Crew in Round 2. Instead, SEXY blanked 'em, 43-25 and 41-33.
The final eight (clockwise from top left): TOP GUN PL4Y3RS, FOXHOUND UNIT, GOLD LIONS, Rock Heart, CAP PILLAS, Master of Weapons, ineffable arts and Sub-Zero Killaz.
Round 3 saw the FOXHOUND UNIT (UNIT) and Master of Weapons (SAMA) Crews take each other on in arguably the most intense match of the entire tournament. SAMA flourished first, winning the first game 25-21. Game 2 was tight to the very last second, UNIT taking the lead to win 25-24. After that, UNIT - never looking back - bounced SAMA right out of contention in Game 3, 41-29. The GOLD LIONS (LION) Crew had been solid throughout the tournament and the semi-finals were no different. Up against SAMA, LION won Game 1 by 25-20 and Game 2 by 38-28. While the ineffable arts (RED7) Crew won their matchup against SEXY 2-0, it was a close one: Game 1 was decided in the final moments 27-26 and Game 2's tally was 39-32.
After a month of battle after battle after battle, RED7 and LION were to face each other in the finals for living legend status. From the start, both Crews made it very clear they earned the right to be on the big stage. The squads spent Game 1 trading kills, never letting more than a few points between them. RED7 took it 34-31 - just one win away from victory. With a seven point lead and around four minutes to go in Game 2, it looked like things were coming to an end. And then, in what could be considered the pivotal point of the finals, LION's Alex_silent stepped up, helping to reverse the lead and secure a 38-27 win. In a Game 3 do or die, LION turned things up a notch and stomped on RED7 55-30. 28 Crews entered, one Crew left - props to the GOLD LIONS for being the last squad standing - we definitely recommend checking out the highlights here.

Until recently, Jaguars virtually came with the faint smell of old man, stale cologne and boiled sweets. Jaguar lovers will drone on about Le Mans in the 1950s and that the Mk2 was the bank robbers' getaway car of choice in the 1960s, but in case anybody hadn't noticed, that was long, long ago.
But under the new Indian ownership, there's a renaissance: the Leaping Cat is finally showing its claws after decades limping through the automotive wilderness. The XF is the car that can take the fight to BMW and Mercedes, and with a little German input could blow them clean off the map.
Because with a major rework Arden didn't even need the 5-liter XFR; they have turned the lesser SV8 into the 550-hp Arden AJ21. And as the needle raced past the 130-mph mark and the induction whine screamed over the bass-heavy Spitfire of a V8 engine that gains new life with the new sports exhaust, this Jaguar suddenly seemed the youngest, hippest cat in the field.
The base 4.2-liter is more or less Spitfire vintage. It is so far beyond its sell-by date it's grown mold and started to smell. But with a little bore and stroke increase and a larger twin-screw supercharger, Arden has created a 4.5-liter masterpiece. Of course it's more complex than that and the new crankshaft, pistons, con-rods and cooling systems mean this surgery can only happen in-house at the company base in Krefeld. For those who can't make the trip, Arden will ship a larger supercharger, good for 470 hp, which can be fitted at your friendly local Jag dealer worldwide. In truth that should be enough, but, well, you can never really have too much power.
Because this car will blast through the 60-mph mark in 4.8 seconds and without the interference of a top-speed limiter will go through the 183-mph mark with ease. That's way down from Jag's own XFR, which topped 225 mph on the salt flats, but then again that test car was hardly standard. And if it's a taste of things to come when Arden gets to work on that new machine, we'll take it as a good sign.
As it is, this AJ21 comes laden with three things BMW forgot to include in its own technical M5 masterpiece: character, torque and style. That starts with Jaguar's own factory work, with the interior bathed in blue light and the gear selector that rises from the floor like a megastar in concert. With a push of the pulsing starter button, the V8 comes to life with a chugging, menacing vibration that somehow embodies the big cat. Each blip of the throttle brings a gunfire crack. Even though, like most modern cars, it won't let you stand on the brake, gas it and slide off into the distance, it's still mighty impressive on a standing start and all the way through the rev range thanks to gloopy dollops of torque.
The peak torque figure of 472 lb-ft represents almost 30 percent more than the M5 can muster, and that's something you can feel at every opportunity for overtaking. This is the faster car in the real world, as you don't have to think about flipping the paddles for a downchange; just bury the throttle in the thick carpet and the car takes off like, well, a scalded cat.
Epic 15.4-inch rotors sit inside the front wheels and 13.4-inchers in the rears, mated to four piston calipers at both ends, too, so it can get the speed off just as quickly and it feels lighter on its feet than the opposition under heavy braking. That's almost certainly due to a re-jigged suspension keeping the car flat and smooth under heavy load. Arden's own patented system comes with a 30mm drop on a standard car that was firm in any case. Then there are the 21-inch three-piece rims clothed in Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires that provide acres of grip, pin-sharp handling, and ask for just a touch of muscle on turn-in. It transforms the driving experience and turns a sporting saloon into a road warrior. It's still not quite as razor sharp as that of the Bavarian competition, but then again it's close enough for some and provides a more satisfying, meaty drive. There's 4,056 pounds of padding to soak up impacts, so it doesn't crash over ruts and bumps, but this Jaguar has newfound precision to go with its aggression, and it's a devastating combination.
A wet public road was no place to test the theory, but I get the feeling with the gadgets turned off this could be a monster drift car in expert hands. It's that easy to place, that responsive, and Arden's fatter tiller was all it took to give near perfect steering feel. As for the rest of the interior, Arden can and will do anything you like. Only the threat of legal action prevented us from taking pictures of some of the more ostentatious two-tone interiors within vehicles parked on the Arden lot. On this particular XF they satisfied themselves with the steering wheel and a few choice exterior mods, including the famous Leaper placed on the nose. That proud cat standing atop the hood looks ready to spear pedestrians in a full frontal impact, but Arden has rigged things so it snaps off in a minor impact--and convinced the notoriously stringent TV to let it through.
As for the rest of the front, it is still far from convincing. The XF needed the guardsman-sharp creases that the prototype so proudly displayed before manufacturing reality kicked in, and that glossy chrome grille doesn't really help. But Arden has given the car a badly needed testosterone injection with new side skirts and a rear wing, which will do little or nothing for high-speed stability, yet looks the business and gives the car a visual edge over the rest of the competition.
The best news is that Arden can now set to work on a whole new engine, and, building on Jaguar's latest work, you wouldn't bet against a 600-hp super saloon breaking cover from Krefeld before too long. So it looks like the cat is finally ready to leap back from the automotive wilderness, bury the memory of the E-Type once and for all, and provide cars fit for a bank robber once again.

By Devin Corbitt
Chair of the Western Cape region of the African National Conference; President of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches; founder of the United Democratic Front; and leader of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement: these are just a few of the many accomplishments achieved throughout the life of Rev. Dr. Allan Boesak. He currently serves as an Extraordinary Professor of Public Theology at the University of Stellenbosch and chair of the Advisory Council of the Trans-Atlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race.
Boesak was invited to speak as the feature of this year's Wilson Lecture. He delivered the morning's chapel address, entitled "Quietly Bringing Justice." He was introduced by Dr. Walt Herbert, Professor Emeritus of Southwestern.
"I trust you will find Allan's message inspiring and instructive," Herbert said. "It is an honor to welcome him to Southwestern."
That afternoon, Boesak gave a lecture on "'The Glory that is not Steeped in Blood': War and Peace in a Globalized World". His focus revolved around the causes and solutions to war in our current society.
"The presence of war is the one enduring constant in the developing history of the human kind, it seems," Boesak said. "Even as enlightened science brought us new possibilities for meaningful life such as we have never seen before, our capacity for creating death has become even more resourceful."
Boesak rejects the notion of war being the answer to conflict, preferring instead a more peaceful approach.
"I enter this discussion as a Christian liberation theologian from the global South," Boesak said. "The tradition I revere and try to live by is a tradition of non-violence, even in resistance. I do not believe that violence, in the long run, can offer any lasting solution."
In keeping with his anti-apartheid views, Boesak discussed historical wars through the lens of colonialism and racism. Through this, Boesak endeavored to show that war, in its most basic form, is apt to do more harm than good.
"The exterminations of the so-called 'lower races' were seen as a biological, political and economic necessity. And in these wars of brutality, accountability and proportionate response, our so-called measure of strength, did not exist. From early on in modern times, colonial wars were the experimental field of extinction."
Boesak argues that it is impossible to hide the truths of war, especially in an era so rich in technology.The only solution, in his opinion, is to end war altogether and move toward a peaceful state in which equality reigns.
"In a globalized world, it is no longer possible to fully hide the consequences of war," Boesak said. "We must, in communities and within and among nations, continue to encourage the search for non-violent solutions to vexing problems. All you have to do is to bring justice, even quietly."
Boesak's visit was sponsored by the Departments of History, Political Science, and Religion; the International Studies Program; the Golabal Citizens Fund; the Slover Fund and the Wilson Lectureship.

Kenny calls his wife Lauryn, and asks about their baby. He tells her that she forgot his birthday, but admits that it's okay. He wants new boots, and tells her to do whatever she has to in order to send them to him. He tells her that he loves her and hangs up.
Kenny's mother visits, and he asks her about Lauryn. For some reason, he has to talk to her behind barriers with the phone deal, and the others get to have visitors in the visiting room. I don't know why that is. Anyway, Kenny's mom is an idiot, and she tells Kenny that Lauryn has a new boyfriend, and she thinks the new boyfriend is hurting the baby. Yeah, that was a good idea to pass that along, since he can do so much about it from prison. And then she acts all upset, like she thought he would take the news well. In actuality, Kenny blows up and starts yelling, and the guards escort him out.
Kenny paces his cell, yelling about women being bitches, and how he can't do anything about his son being hurt. Pierce points out that he knows people who could take care of it, and it wouldn't be traced back to Kenny by the cops. Kenny considers this, and then tells Pierce to have the boyfriend killed at any price. They shake on it. As Pierce goes to make the call, Kenny stops him and adds, "My wife too."
Pierce hangs up the phone, indicating that it's done. Kenny calls his mother and tells her to go over to Lauryn's and get the baby out of the house tonight, but he won't tell her why.
Hill's back in the monk's robe on the altar. He tells us that Moses finally got the chosen people to the Promised Land, but even then, there were still wars and destruction by the Romans. Hill wonders if there is too much suffering in the world, and then adds that there is too much suffering in Oz for even a guilty man to endure. Hey, don't do the crime if you can't do the time, brother.
Kenny tells his friends that he'll catch up with them later as he hangs out in the back room of the kitchen. After they leave, he lights a candle on a cupcake and starts singing "Happy Birthday" to himself. On the third line, Adebisi slips up behind him, scaring the crap out of me, and finishes the song. Then, Adebisi blows out Kenny's candle. No, I didn't mean that metaphorically. He literally blows out the candle.

Age, education, and earnings in the course of Brazilian development: Does composition matter?
|Date received:

|Word count:
|age-education composition, Brazil, cohort size, demographic transition, earnings profiles, education, education transition
Background: The impacts of shifts in the age distribution of the working-age population have been studied in relation to the effect of the baby boom generation on the earnings of different cohorts in the U.S. However, this topic has received little attention in the context of the countries of Asia and Latin America, which are now experiencing substantial shifts in their age-education distributions.
Objective: In this analysis, we estimate the impact of the changing relative size of the adult male population, classified by age and education groups, on the earnings of employed men living in 502 Brazilian local labor markets during four time periods between 1970 and 2000.
Methods: Taking advantage of the huge variation across Brazilian local labor markets and demographic census micro-data, we used fixed effects models to demonstrate that age-education group size depresses earnings.
Results: These effects are more detrimental among age-education groups with higher education, but they are becoming less negative over time. The decrease in the share of workers with the lowest level of education has not led to gains in the earnings of these workers in recent years.
Conclusions: These trends might be a consequence of technological shifts and increasing demand for labor with either education or experience. Compositional shifts are influential, which suggests that this approach could prove useful in studying this central problem in economic development.

Buying the Best Car Insurance
- Friday, April 27, 2007
Remember, not all companies are equally good. As is the case with any form of insurance, the cheapest price isn't always the best buy. Ask your friends about the experiences they have had with their companies and check the rating services.
2) Drive Like You Know You Should. One thing that will raise your car insurance costs the fastest is a bad-driving record. This is something you can control—do it!
3) Arrange for Higher Deductibles. A deductible is the money you have to pay before the insurance company fulfills your claim. You can reduce the cost of your insurance drastically by raising the deductible (the amount you're responsible for) on collision and comprehensive coverage.
4) You Might Opt Out of Comprehensive and/or Collision Coverage If You Drive An Older/Cheaper Car. Assuming your agent is trustworthy, this is might be worth discussing.
5) Inform Your Agent If You're A Low Mileage Driver. Some companies determine their rates based on the amount of annual driving a policyholder does.
6) Tell Your Agent About Any Safety Features and Anti-Theft Systems On Your Car. Some companies reduce their costs to people who drive cars with automatic seat belts, airbags, and other safety and theft devices. It's worth asking about.
7) Pay Your Premium in One Lump Sum. Some companies charge less if you pay your premiums annually or semi-annually. This can avoid some of the service charges associated with monthly payments.
8) Check and See if Your Insurer Discounts Car Coverage When You Buy Other Insurance from Him. Some insurers give price reductions to clients who buy their homeowners, umbrella, and other coverages from them.
Here's a Little Grief-Saver
A while back I reevaluated my own insurance coverage. Of course, every agent I talked with presented a convincing case for his product and the companies he represented. So, how can people like us really know which company does the best job settling claims? Do we simply have to buy the coverage on blind faith—and, wait until we have an accident to find out?
Let me tell you what I did. I collected the names of all the companies I was considering and went to visit the manager of the body shop that I would take my car to. I said, "Stewart, here are the companies I'm looking at—what kind of results have you had working with these outfits?"
It took about five minutes for Stewart to illuminate me. I left with a much better picture of the "real world" of car insurance companies as seen through the eyes of a guy who works with them every day.

Design Blogger Guest Shopper: Stacey Sheppard & her top 5 ACHICA buys
Design blogger and journalist Stacey Sheppard, whose blog is one the of UK's Top 10 Interior Design blogs (Cision), has a passion for interior architecture, design and everything in between. This week Stacey picks out her favourite finds at ACHICA and tells us why they've caught her eye. Find out what hot buys Stacey has chosen on her wish list here…
'The Memo range from ASA Selection – at ACHICA on Wednesday 16 May
I love this range as it's a fun and quirky take on ceramics. Each piece features a small chalk board label that can be used to leave messages or to document the contents of each container. I'd use these to leave cute little messages all over the kitchen for my husband to find.'
'The Baghera Le Mans Car in Classic Racing Green – at ACHICA on Monday 14 May
This is a great choice for kids. The classic little pedal car will have them zooming around the garden as if it were a real race track. I can imagine that they'll be the envy of all the other kids, especially when kitted out in the Baghera racing hat and goggles.'
'The Anglepoise Giant 1227 – at ACHICA on Tuesday 15 May
A regular fixture on my most-wanted list, this over-sized version of the British design icon has a great story behind it and will add a touch of theatrical scale to any room. If you are going to buy an Anglepoise, I suggest you definitely make it a supersize.'
'Kingston Park Escana Large Sideboard in Oak – at ACHICA on Thursday 17 May
Natural wood seems to be making a comeback of late as people have discovered a renewed appreciation for craftsmanship and sustainable materials. This sideboard will add a subtle sense of modern sophistication to any living or dining room and provides a great solution for storing unsightly clutter. I need this in my life.'
'Normann Copenhagen Strainer in Red – at ACHICA on Friday 18th May
Normann Copenhagen has a great range of products all made from traditional materials with a slightly unconventional spin. This fantastic folding colander designed by Boje Estermann is made from a rigid, food-safe rubber that allows it to be collapsed down when not in use. I think this is great as it is easy to store and takes up far less room than a traditional strainer.'

Interesting Investing Opportunity in These Chemical Companies
Madhukar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The global chemical industry, which is valued at nearly $3 trillion, has grown at a steady pace in the last decade. Global chemical production rose 2.6% in 2012 whereas it increased 3.8% in 2011. The reason for this slowdown was the European debt crisis and the subsequent weak demand for chemical products in the global market. However, this industry is in recovery mode, with the after-effects of the European debt crisis easing off.
The global chemical industry output is expected to grow by 4.3% in 2013 and by 4.7% in 2014. Here are three leading U.S.-based chemical companies in terms of market cap. Here's an analysis of whether these companies can further consolidate their respective positions.
A chemical company going strong
K-Dow Petrochemicals was supposed to be a $17.4 billion joint venture between Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW) and Petrochemical Industries Company, or PIC. The joint venture was signed in July 2008. However, PIC called off the deal in December 2008. Dow sued PIC and was subsequently awarded $2.2 billion as arbitration charges by an international court in May 2012. Dow received a direct cash payment of $2.2 billion from PIC in May 2013.
A part of this cash will be used by the company to pay off its debt. It plans to reduce its debt by $2 billion in 2013. This will help Dow reduce its annual interest expense by $100 million this year. It will also decrease its debt to equity ratio to below 0.67 in 2013. This would be a decrease of 31.5% from 2012.
Sadara Chemical is a 50-50 joint venture between Dow and Saudi Arabian Oil. Sadara Chemical secured about $10.5 billion of project financing in June 2013. These funds, along with $2 billion raised in April 2013, will be deployed for the construction of a chemical complex in Saudi Arabia. This complex has an estimated production capacity of 3 million metric tons of plastics and specialty chemicals. Production will commence in the second half of 2015. This project is expected to generate average annual earnings of $500 million for first 10 years after its start-up.
Banking on agricultural revenue
E. I. du Pont de Nemours (NYSE: DD) launched a new $40 million corn and sunflower seed production facility in Stasi, Ukraine in June 2013. Ukraine is renowned for its mineral-rich black soil, which enhances agricultural yield. It is among the top countries in the world in terms of percentage of total land suitable for agriculture, or arable land; of Ukraine's total land area, about 55% is arable. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has predicted that Ukraine will become one of the top three world exporters of corn and coarse grains in the next two years.
DuPont is a market leader in corn seeds and the second-largest producer of sunflower seeds in Ukraine. The new plant is one of the biggest seed production plants in Ukraine. It has the capacity to supply 5,000 tons of corn seed and 2,000 tons of sunflower seed annually to Ukraine and other countries. This increased capacity will help it improve its market share in the Ukrainian seed market.
Cyazypyr is an insecticide which is used to control chewing and sucking pests. This insecticide was launched by DuPont in Argentina in 2012 and in Canada and China in 2013. Rynaxypyr is another insecticide used for chewing pest control. Rynaxypyr had a significant impact on the company's agricultural segment, which grew 14% quarter-over-quarter to $4.7 billion in the first quarter of 2013. Rynaxypyr had sales of $750 million in 2012. Rynaxypyr and Cyazypyr have a combined annual sales potential of more than $1 billion in the next two years.
Adding fizz with acquisition
Praxair (NYSE: PX) has two major hydrogen production projects this year. In June 2013, it started a hydrogen plant in Port Arthur, Texas. The capacity of this plant is 150 million standard cubic feet per day, or scfd. Praxair has another hydrogen plant in St. Charles, Louisiana, which will be operational in July this year. This plant has a capacity of 120 million scfd.
These two plants thus have a combined capacity of 270 million scfd of hydrogen. This will increase Praxair's hydrogen production capacity in the U.S. by 25%. This increased capacity will increase the revenue of the company. The expected revenue for Praxair is $3 billion in the third-quarter of 2013, a growth of 8.2% quarter-over-quarter.
NuCO2 is a leading provider of beverage carbonation services to the U.S. restaurant industry. Praxair acquired NuCO2 from Aurora Capital Group in the first quarter of 2013 for $1.1 billion. The beverage carbonation solution provided by NuCO2 is popular with restaurants and convenience stores which offer fountain beverages. 85% of NuCO2's business is in the top 100 restaurant chains. This acquisition will help Praxair provide nitrogen generation and blending control systems to companies selling draught and craft beers. These products improve beer's consistency and reduce wastage. It is expected that NuCO2 will generate EBITDA of around $115 million and revenue of $250 million in 2013.
Dow has received cash for arbitration charges, which it will use to pay off part of its debt. Its joint venture, Sadara Chemical, should be a revenue driver in the long-term.
DuPont's new production facility will help the company increase seed production in Ukraine. Rynaxypyr and Cyazypyr will have huge sales potential in the long-term.
Praxair's two hydrogen production plants will increase its hydrogen production capacity in the U.S. by 25%. The NuCO2 acquisition will help Praxair enter into the nitrogen generation and blending control systems market.
All three of these stocks are a buy.

I have studied many timesThe marble which was chiseled for me–A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.In truth it pictures not my destinationBut my life.For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.And now I know that we must lift the sailAnd catch the winds of destinyWherever they drive the boat.To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,But life without meaning is the tortureOf restlessness and vague desire–It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.
Edgar Lee Masters
oh yes
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
too late.

Marilyn Monroe photographed by Bert Stern, 1962
"She is a beautiful child. I don't think she's an actress at all, not in a traditional sense. What she has – this presence, this luminosity, this flickering intelligence - could never surface on the stage. It's so fragile and subtle, it can only be caught by the camera. But anyone who thinks this girl is simply another Harlow or harlot or whatever, is mad. I hope, I really pray, that she survives long enough to free the strange lovely talent that's wandering through her like a jailed spirit."

Henri Langlois' quote at first seems so outrageously absolute, so outright, so unquestionable, that one might think it trivial if it weren't stated by such an authority in film. But who is Henri Langlois?
Monsieur Langlois was one of the founders of the Cinématèque Française, in 1936, which holds one of the biggest film archives in the world. Thanks to the smuggling efforts of Langlois, many masterpieces were saved from being destroyed by the Germans during World War II. Besides preserving invaluable works of art, Langlois was a cinephile that encouraged the discussion and study of the medium of film before anyone else thought it relevant to discuss film as an art form. Langlois' screenings at the Cinématèque Française were influential for many of the New Wave directors, such as Françoise Truffaut, Alain Resnais and Jean Luc Goddard.
I would have to agree with Langlois: "A film without sound is not worth making"(1). First of all, in order to believe that about film one should define it, as well as its composition, qualities, and possibilities. Although film is bi-dimensional, it is not a painting, as it incorporates movement through space and the actors upon it.
Film is not theater; again since it is bi-dimensional whereas theater is three dimensional and interactive. In fact, theater could be done without sound – both its three dimensionality and interactivity, as it is live, can compensate for lack of "sound" (or speech, since it is impossible for actor performing on a stage not to make any sound.)
Nevertheless, film needs sound. Without sound, it would not be film; it would instead be something that could be made on a theater stage or in a painting. For example, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the 1920's silent film directed by Robert Wiene – a very famous and influential film of the German expressionist movement – leaves one quite dissatisfied, as if it were not a complete film. Even though its visual motifs are very interesting, the color, design, overall theme and style, the movie presents a story that could have been done in theater. I believe that part of the reason is that it was a silent film.
Sound adds another quality that film should not omit, a quality that has become intrinsic to the medium; it creates a truly complete film experience. "Sound had economic and technological implications, but it also affected style. Some critics and directors feared that extensive dialogue scenes in adapted plays would eliminate the flexible camera movements and editing of the silent era. Most filmmakers soon realized, however, that sound, used imaginatively, offered a valuable new stylistic resource" (Boardwell, 193).
Yet as we win some, we lose some. As sound became a part of film, I believe film lost something special too: vibrancy and purity in its visual composition, the exaggerated and physical comedy of greats such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Yet film is not trying to be something it is not. The development of sound technology helped mature film into its own medium with its particular defining qualities.
There was a period of transition from silent films to sound. At first it was a time of both economic and creative uncertainty. People were not entirely sure of its success. By 1932 the conversion of sound to film was virtually complete. People started to realized that sound on film adds a whole other dimension for filmmakers to work with creatively, such as, "imaginative use of camera movements, stretches of silence, and sonic puns. [These] helped quiet fears of critics who believed that sound would result in static dialogue pictures" (Boardwell, 207).
The introduction of sound to film not only brought more depth and complexity to film, it also gave the filmmaker complete creative control over their film. "In 1933, Alfred Hitchcock commented on the difference between musical accompaniment for silent Films and musical scores in sound Films: 'I have always believed that the coming of sound opened up a great new opportunity. The accompanying music came at last entirely under the control of the people who made the picture.' Now sound and image could be combined in predictable ways during production." (Boardwell, 193).
Sound is an element that has the power to set or alter the mood in a motion picture. Sound can also give us literal or symbolic information about the characters on the screen. In Germany, it was not until early 1930 that sound production and exhibition accelerated. By 1935 virtually all theaters were wired" (Boardwell, 201). The film The Blue Angel, directed by Josef Von Sternberg, was one of the first German talkies. In it Marlene Dietrich, then an unknown actress, becomes instantly famous for her appearance as a coquettish cabaret showgirl. This early sound film shows how sound creates a more moving experience.
Thanks to sound, we are able to enter the actor's world in a more profound and personal way. We see Professor Rath at the beginning of The Blue Angel in his silent apartment. We hear him whistling, and when we hear the silence of his dead bird that doesn't whistle back, we can really feel his loneliness. In moments like these when there is a perfect match or synchronization between sound and image, when a filmmaker is able to put those two together in a way that is just right – that's when memorable moments and great films are created.
To create an image in perfect harmony with a sound or witty dialogue is quite a challenge, the rules of the game had been altered. Sometimes it is even by chance that such fortuitous connections are made between those two senses. But it is up to the artist to identify such an instant in time. I believe that this is what Langlois meant when he said, "A film without sound is not worth making".

(1) In this quote Langlois refers to diegetic sound or actual sound, which is any sound that is presented with its origin in the film's world (voices of character's and sound from instruments and objects presented in the movie, on screen or off-screen.)
Henri Langlois Said: A Film Without Sound Is Not Worth Making.

Libido is a person's overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. Biologically, levels of hormones such as testosterone are believed to affect sex drive; social factors, such as work and family, also have an impact; as do internal psychological factors, like personality and stress. Sex drive may be affected by medical conditions, medications, lifestyle and relationship issues.
Most contraceptive pills inhibit the production of androgens, which directly impact the level of pleasure we experience during intercourse. If you're going through a sexual dry spot and you feel that the contraceptive pill is the culprit, speak to your doctor who may be able to suggest an alternative. Sleep is a common sex drive saboteur for both genders. Researchers from the University of Chicago found that men who get less than five hours sleep per night have lower levels of testosterone, which leads to a lack of desire between the sheets. Body image issues make for a sure-fire short circuit in terms of your sex drive. If you're getting naked with the lights off, or not getting naked at all, it's time to stop filling your mind with negative thoughts about your body and start focusing on what you love about yourself.
Ladies, mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flushes and depression don't exactly set the mood for a night of hot sex. Add to that your decline in oestrogen levels that prevent blood flow around the pelvis area and it's probably feeling pretty dry 'down there', meaning that sex has become painful. While lubricants may provide short term relief, you could speak to your doctor about alternative solutions such as hormone replacement therapy. Once you've had children, it may seem as though the romance and intimacy in your relationship has been swapped for stress and fatigue. Caring for babies and/or children makes you exhausted, which is a recipe for a no-sex night. Try and set aside one night a week to stop worrying about the chores once the children have gone to bed, and spend time as a couple instead. Both men and woman may suffer from performance anxiety. When men are anxious about sex, it can cause erectile dysfunction which, in turn, can make women feel inadequate. Speak to your partner about what he/she likes you to do to them and try it out.

The Movement and Emplacement of the Legions and Auxiliary units of the Roman Army in Moesia from 29 BC to AD 235

This thesis is a history of the legions and auxiliary units of the Roman province of Moesia from 29 BC to AD 235. Some of the principal battles and campaigns undertaken in the area are discussed; however, the focus of the study is the movement of those units both in and out of the province, and also their emplacement, where possible, in the numerous forts so far found in Moesia. A variety of different types of evidence are used: inscriptions, and in particular stone inscriptions and the bronze diplomas are the most valuable sources; the ancient authors are important, and Tacitus, Josephus, Cassius Dio, and Ptolemy are the most valuable, although others are used. There are a handful of conclusions drawn from this study. Generally, during the Julio-Claudian period military units tended to cluster around each other. In the second and third centuries, they are more spread out, and tend to be fairly evenly distributed along the Danube. During the two major campaigns that happened over the course of the years from 29 BC to AD 235, there was a significant influx of troops, and in particular auxiliary units, which were well suited to the conditions. The total legionary disposition remained fairly consistent from Vespasian to Severus Alexander. In the second century, units became stationary and vexillations were often dispatched when the gravity of the moment called for reinforcements.

Quebec has been the site of a lot of student protests lately. Quebec has historically had very low tuition rates for in-province students:
|1 year of medical school
|1 year of social sciences
However, this is set to change. Rates are going to increase by about 40%, under the plans of the current government. Students have been protesting as a result:
And then things get violent…
What are your thoughts? Is higher education a right? Yes or no?
If you answered yes, then do you believe that students are entitled to use the force of government to force income earners to pay higher taxes, so that their direct tuition costs can be lower?
If you answered no, then do you believe that the government has the right to restrict universities from legitimate competition, that could be used to save untold costs and expenses?
I think that what we are seeing here is the manifestion of the progression of entitlement. It happened in Greece, and in a few more years scenes like this could be very commonplace across North America, too.
To be clear, I support the right of the students to protest non-violently, and I think they make a few good points. Why are taxes so high? Why is so much money being spent on new buildings and high salaries for administrators? There is a lot of funky crap going on that needs to be set straight.

Business Ideas in the News / May 23, 2003
Home Based Business Opportunities:
Unless you are an inventor, most likely you are selling a product or service that is being offered by someone else, somewhere, at some time. The first person to start your type of business would have gone through a lot of trial and error. Thank that person, as now you can not only profit by not repeating the same mistakes, but by learning what they do to get business.
The best way to do this is to practice what any business person knows: know your competition. The most beneficial thing you can do is to study what they are doing to attract customers.
Go online, do a search, pull up the web sites of your competition, and start taking notes.
March 18, 2005: The article was originally published, here. The author of the piece, David Geer, has more articles posted on his own site.
