Botswana is a development success story. A small, landlocked country of two million people, Botswana was one of the poorest countries in Africa with a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of about $70 when it gained independence from Britain in 1966. In the years that followed, supported by the discovery of diamonds, Botswana has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world and moved into the ranks of upper-middle income countries. Real gross domestic product (GDP), based on the revised estimates and at the new constant 2006 prices increased at an average annual rate of 4.6% between 1994 and 2011.
The country has a mature democracy, with free and fair elections held regularly and the constitution provides for fundamental rights and freedoms. The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has been in power since the first elections were held in 1965. In the general election held in October 2009, the BDP won 45 of the 57 parliamentary seats that were up for election. Former Vice-President and the son of Botswana's first President Seretse Khama, Lieutenant- General Seretse Khama Ian Khama, was inaugurated as Botswana's fourth President in October 2009. The next general election will be held in October 2014.
Botswana's impressive track record of good governance and economic growth supported by prudent macroeconomic and fiscal management, stands in contrast to the country's high levels of poverty and inequality and generally low human development indicators. While Botswana's economic progress over the past 40 years has transformed living standards for many – with poverty rates declining from over 50% at independence to just above 19% today – significant and stubborn pockets of poverty remain, especially in rural areas. Education expenditure is among the highest in the world, at around 8% of GDP; and while significant achievements in the education sector have been attained, including the provision of nearly universal and free primary education, the sector has not created the skilled workforce Botswana needs to diversify its economy. Unemployment has remained persistent at nearly 20%, and as a consequence, income inequality in Botswana is among one of the highest in the world. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has further exacerbated the situation; the country suffers from the second highest HIV/AIDS adult prevalence rate in the world, contributing to education and health outcomes that are below those of countries in the same income group.
Continued uncertainty in global markets and the slow pace of economic recovery in advanced countries continue to act as a drag on Botswana's economic outlook, mainly due to the country's heavy reliance on diamond exports. Real GDP growth slowed considerably to around 4% in 2012 after two years of strong post-crisis growth, mainly as a result of significant contraction in the mining sector, due to continued subdued global demand (hitting both volumes and price). However, the economy bounced back in 2013, with real GDP growing by 5.9% and estimated to grow by 5.2% in 2014. The main driver of recent growth has come from continued strength in the diamond sector, with mining value added up 14.2% in real terms. Growth in the non-mining private sector, however, slowed to 4.6% – this continues its downward trajectory after growth of 8% in 2012 and close to 10% in 2011. After falling sharply throughout 2013 to a low of 4.1% in December 2013, inflation rose slightly to 4.5% (y/y) as of July 2014. This remains well within the Bank of Botswana's 3-6% objective range. The outlook for 2013 is broadly stable, with an expectation that CPI may reach 5.0%. The Bank of Botswana is expected to maintain their accommodative stance, which saw the base rates fall by 200 basis points in 2013, to their lowest levels in 20 years. Following a volatile 2013 where the Pula depreciated around 10% to the US dollar while appreciating more than 8% against the Rand, rates have stabilized and are virtually unchanged in 2014. Foreign reserves amounted to USD 9.4 million by end-June 2014, an increase of about 15% in Pula terms.
Exports of goods and services increased by 18% in the year to March 2014, driven almost exclusively by the growth of diamonds (36% y/y), although non-diamond export performance continues to be weak.. The current account registered a strong surplus of almost 10% of GDP in the year to March 2014, following a small deficit in the previous 12 months.
Botswana's 2014-15 budget, introduced in February 2014, emphasizes tight fiscal management, prioritization, and a need to continue to rebuild fiscal buffers in the face of vulnerabilities in the country's two main revenue streams (diamonds and the SACU customs pool), while highlighting the importance of economic growth to address Botswana's development challenges. After posting small surpluses in FY 2012/13 and 2013/14, the government projects a surplus of 1% of GDP in 2014/15, with total expenditure and net lending rising 8.5% to a projected at 35.9% of GDP. Revenues are expected to be robust (up 10.5%), buoyed by higher minerals revenue (up 15%) and continued strong revenues from the SACU customs pool (up 16.7%). The medium-term fiscal framework, however, sees a shift toward greater emphasis on expanding domestic revenue base, reducing heavy reliance on South Africa Customs Union (SACU) transfers, which reached a peak of almost 35% of revenue (12.6% of GDP) in 2012-13.
In addition to the short-term challenges to address external shocks, Botswana continues to face a key policy dilemma of how to grapple with the predicted decline in previously buoyant diamond revenues. Although projections of future diamond revenues are uncertain, government estimates that the main diamond deposits will be exhausted between 2025 and 2030. Diversification into sectors beyond diamonds, that can support sustainable growth and ensure the welfare of the population, is therefore a major challenge, as is improving the quality of growth to address high levels of unemployment. While Botswana has made some progress in reducing its dependence on diamonds over the past 20 years, the level of economic diversification needed to offset diminishing mineral revenues will remain an elusive goal unless concerted actions are taken now.
Another related challenge is the imperative of shifting towards a smaller public sector, from one that represents close to 35% of GDP today to a more typical middle income country share of 25% - 30%. Declining public revenues will have to address a long agenda of unmet social and economic needs. Botswana's public sector therefore needs to ensure fiscal sustainability while simultaneously improving the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. Smoothing the transition to face a new reality of significantly constrained resources will require building on Botswana's highly successful economic model to ensure that it can best meet the pressing challenges of the 21st century.

Linux New Media Launches Ubuntu User Magazine
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
(Lawrence, KS, USA: May 28, 2009) Linux New Media USA, LLC, announces the launch of a new print publication, Ubuntu User magazine.
Canonical's popular Ubuntu operating system continues to win followers around the world, and Ubuntu User is the first print magazine specifically for this rapidly growing audience. "Ubuntu is popular with software developers and IT professionals, but it is also a hit with hobbyists and other desktop users who are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Windows and don't want the restrictive hardware policies of Apple," says Joe Casad, Editor in Chief of Ubuntu User.
In addition to reviews, interviews, community news, HowTo articles, troubleshooting tips, and in-depth technical articles, Ubuntu User includes a helpful Discovery Guide for readers who are new to the world of Ubuntu. A free DVD included with each issue of Ubuntu User provides an easy way for users to upgrade to the latest version. New users can boot from the DVD drive without disturbing the existing installation.
"We're excited to launch a new print magazine," says Linux New Media CEO Brian Osborn. "We've had great success over the past two years with well designed, high-end print magazines for technical readers. Ubuntu is popular around the world, and it's a great fit for us editorially. I couldn't imagine a better match." In addition to the English version of Ubuntu User magazine, Linux New Media plans to launch a German edition later this year.
In 2007, Linux New Media opened a North American office in Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to the new Ubuntu User magazine, editors in the North American office produce the monthly print magazines Linux Pro Magazine, Linux Magazine (international English edition), and special publications including Ubuntu Special, Google Tools, and openSUSE Special.
Ubuntu User magazine is shipping now to newsstands worldwide.

Christopher Buckley is one of the dozen authors who will sign books and chat with visitors at the Library of Congress' National Book Festival this weekend on the Mall. But a reporter's question almost has him thinking about canceling.
"What? They let 'conservatives' come to this shindig? Someone was obviously asleep at the switch. I'm appalled," he said.
He's joking, of course. Mr. Buckley is one of the country's best satirists; his 1994 novel "Thank You for Smoking" was made into the 2005 hit film. But in a city regularly divided by partisan squabbles, it's refreshing to take a look at the list of authors slated to appear this weekend — everyone from Booker Prize-winning novelist and Canadian political agitator Margaret Atwood to conservative biographer of Pope John Paul II George Weigel — and find conservatives and liberals alike coming together to celebrate the written word.
The National Book Festival, now in its 13th year, was started by then-first lady Laura Bush, a national version of a program she had begun in Texas.
Mr. Buckley, for one, is looking forward to the weekend's events.
"I've done the NBF three times now (I think), and it's really a blast, sort of a cross between a state fair and a Walter Isaacson Aspen Ideas festival, only without the aspens and bears," he said. "There's just something about speaking in a big tent, with people wandering in and out, that gives it a sort of weird, wonderful energy. I could do without them throwing clods of earth at me and shouting, 'Get off the stage! Give us Evan Thomas!' But otherwise I really do enjoy it."
George Weigel, on the other hand, is making his first appearance at the National Book Festival, where he will talk about his latest tome, "Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church."
"Charity requires that we think that the festival organizers recognize that 'conservative' authors are an important part of the American public conversation and that book festivals that cater only to one band of opinion aren't going to be very interesting or compelling. As it happens, I've been asked to participate in the NBF several times, and this just happens to be the first time that the schedule has worked out," he said.
He does have one scheduling quibble. "I'm just sorry that Linda Ronstadt is going to appear on Saturday, as I've always wanted to ask her what became of the Stone Poneys," he said. "It's a generational thing."
Mark Helprin, whose novels, including "Winter's Tale" (now being made into a movie) and "A Soldier of the Great War," have garnered him many awards, said festivals like the ones taking place in Washington this month have become essential to authors and publishers. He rarely accepted invitations to appear at festivals, though; publishers preferred to send him to bookstores.
"First it was to sell the book. Then it changed, and it was to keep the independent bookstores alive, to sell your book and other books," he said. "Because the bookstores essentially have their tongues hanging out, that model doesn't really work."
With bricks-and-mortar bookstores possibly dying and e-books on the rise, bigger events like these might soon be one of the few ways to reach readers.
As if in emphasis of the point, the NBF is not the only event collecting best-selling novelists and deep thinkers together in the area this month. The 15th annual Fall for the Book festival centered at George Mason University in Fairfax County takes place Sept. 22 to 27 and includes writers Deanna Raybourn, Laurin Wittig and Scott W. Berg.
Thomas Mallon, a historical novelist who lives in Washington, has appeared at the Library of Congress' event in the past, but this year can be found at Fall for the Book. He believes the National Book Festival is aptly named.
"Things can be done on a big scale, because of the federal nature of this city," he said. "There's more of a national audience here. The bulk of people are Washington people. But given that it's in September, you're still getting the tail end of the summer tourists who are on the Mall and come to Washington for other things."
Washington has proven inspirational to many writers, of course, Mr. Mallon included. His last novel was titled "Watergate," and he's now working on a novel about the late years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. Some fans meeting him and other writers over the next week might one day put their own perspective on the city into prose. There will be plenty of room for them — one famous fictionalizer of Washington is getting out of the business, it seems.
"Today, the best satire seems to be either on the Onion or the op-ed page of The New York Times, under the byline 'Putin.' I think, in so many words, that we live in a post-satirical time. Time, therefore, to move on," Mr. Buckley revealed. "I'm retiring from satire. Don't laugh, but my next book is about Western civilization. I asked you not to laugh. Why are you laughing? All right. This interview is concluded, thank you."

On Thursday, during the traditional May annual mass at Fatima's Sanctuary, Portugal, 83-year-old Pope Benedict XVI warned a nearly half a million strong crowd of the threat he believes same-sex marriage and abortion present to society. With a gay marriage bill waiting to be signed by Portugal's president, his words have provoked an angry reaction from LGBT rights advocates.
From the New York Times:
FÁTIMA, Portugal — Pope Benedict XVI used a famous Portuguese shrine to the Virgin Mary on Thursday as a stage to denounce abortion and gay marriage, just days before Portugal is expected to join five European countries that have legalized same-sex weddings
In a speech here to Catholic social service groups, Benedict called for initiatives aimed at protecting "the family based on the indissoluble marriage between a man and a woman, help to respond to some of today's most insidious and dangerous threats to the common good."
He also said he expressed his "deep appreciation for all those social and pastoral initiatives aimed at combating the socioeconomic and cultural mechanisms which lead to abortion, and are openly concerned to defend life and to promote the reconciliation and healing of those harmed by the tragedy of abortion."
Abortion has been legal in Portugal since 2007. The Pope's call to arms to protect "the family based on the indissoluble marriage between a man and a woman" has been interpreted by LGBT rights advocates as a pronounced attack on a gay marriage bill passed in January by Portugal's minority Socialist government under Prime Minister Jose Socrates.
Despite fierce opposition from religious conservatives, the government rejected alternative proposals for civil partnerships and a referendum on gay marriage.
President Anibal Cavaco Silva, a practicing Catholic, has been skeptical of the bill's legality and has yet to sign it into law.
From On Top Magazine:
In March, the president, a Catholic, forwarded four out of five of the bill's articles to the Constitutional Court, setting aside a measure that prohibits gay adoption. He said he did so because he doubted the bill's constitutionality, but refused to say why he did not include the article on adoption.
The court's majority, however, ruled the four articles to be constitutional. By law, Cavaco Silva has 20 days from April 28 to make his decision.
Social Democrats – led by Prime Minister Jose Socrates – say they have the votes to override a veto.
Reacting to the Pope's words, many LGBT rights groups have said that the Pope's opposition to gay marriage is overinflated given larger issues currently facing the world, and have commented that his repeated rhetoric on the issue is damaging and derisive.
In December 2008, Benedict said that the blurring of gender roles as a result of things like gay marriage were threats to creation as serious as saving the rain forests and halting climate change.
With reference to the Pope's latest comments, Peter Tatchel of the gay rights group OUTrage said:
"The Pope is fast losing all his sense of moral priorities. Compared to war, poverty and racism, gay marriage is a minor issue. It is not worthy of the Pope's moral outrage. In a world filled with hate and violence, he should be encouraging love and commitment, not denouncing it."
Similarly, a spokesman for the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement told the Telegraph that the Pope's condemnation was disproportionate:
"It is one thing to oppose gay marriage from religious convictions and another to make such a claim about it when you look at issues such as teenage pregnancy, sexual disease, drug abuse, world poverty and war. This is an appalling, unfounded and unjust claim. I do not really see on what basis he can say gay marriage is among the most dangerous challenges to society. It ignores real social evils the Church and others should be addressing with far greater urgency."
On Thursday, the Pope also warned against the spread of secularism through Europe when he told bishops that it was necessary to have an "authentic witnesses to Jesus Christ… where the silence of the faith is most widely and deeply felt: among politicians, intellectuals, communications professionals who profess and who promote a monocultural ideal, with disdain for the religious and contemplative dimension of life."
The Pope is due to visit Britain in September. A petition backed by the British National Secular Society and signed by 28,000 people was handed in to Downing Street earlier this year requesting that the cost of the Pope's trip to Britain be paid by the Church rather than the UK taxpayer.
As recent commentaries have noted, while around 90 percent of Portuguese identify as Catholic, it is thought that only 20 percent actually go to church, and secularism is believed to be increasing at a rapid rate. As such, the signing of a gay marriage bill into law would be interpreted by many as being evidence of the Church's waining influence in Portugal, something which the Pope seems to have been trying to guard against with Thursday's appeal to traditional values.
What effect, if any, the Pope's words will have on the president's signing of the gay marriage bill remains to be seen. I'll keep you updated as we near the deadline for presidential action on the legislation, but I wanted to ask if you agree that gay marriage is a minor issue? Have your say below.

The worst sin of all is declaring that love is a sin.
I just can't wrap my head around why some people are so against gay marriage.
Men who are abusers can marry women they abuse, a woman can marry a wealthy man for his money, even criminals are allowed to get married.
But if two people in a loving, monogamous, committed relationship who happen to be of the same sex want to get married then some people think they can scream about religion and how God wanted marriage to be between a man and woman.
I'm always curious why some people are so passionate in their judgement of others in some cases but ignore other parts of the bible
In Matthew, Jesus teaches "...anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of adultery in his heart. So if your right eye causes you to sin and take it and throw it away..."
How come I don't see more men with only one eye or none at all?
I feel the same way about people who discuss god with me. And it's no more unsafe than any other sex.
@ Elizabeth, yes society tries to force us to accept that it is normal. Like I said I don't have issues w/ the person it's the act itself. I have quite a few gay friends that don't discuss this just like I don't discuss God w/ them. It's a mutual agreement.
carly, no one is trying to "shove it down your throat".
I would also like to point out that is an unfortunate metaphor.
If you don't like it, don't do it.
So you're saying gay sex isn't dangerous? Even w/ condoms. And personally I'm tired of having to hear how wonderful it is and how we should be accepting and how it's shoved down our throats, I am accepting of the person but not homosexuality. People don't like hearing us talk about God, welll we are sick of hearing about how "wonderful" it is. I will forever disagree with homosexuality. Sounds rude but God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
In precisely what way is it "insidious"? Coming from an unmarried man, that is pretty rich! In precisely what way is it "dangerous"? It is hardly as dangerous as nuclear weapons which can destroy the world. Why not ex-communicate all those who work with nuclear weapons and who support their use?
I choose to go on being an upstanding, respected member of society, contributing whatever positive I am able to the community in which I live. I encourage everyone, regardless of their sexuality or anything else, to do the same.
As for the Pope of the catholic church, he can go look into someone else's bedroom window. NOT mine! I think he has enough problems within his own ranks of priests and religious workers. Dear Pope, please, tend to the log in your own eye and leave my eyes and everything else about my body alone! I do not need your fear based faith. (which brings to mind, if it is fear based, is it really faith?)
continued ...
We create a dichotomy, in that we say" "God is love" and in the next breath we say, "God will send you to hell to suffer forever. It doesn't make sense. Those two concepts are mutually exclusive. Yes, some believe in something called "dispensations" where god is supposed to act differently during different chapters of history. That may or may not be true. The question is, will god do that again? YES! Read the book of Revelation. God will be responsible for billions of deaths. It doesn't make sense.
Xtianity and other religions are based in fear. "The boogie man (god) will get you if you don't believe the way I do!" B.S. It is because of this type of thinking and teaching that many, myself included, have left our religions in which we were raised as children and some of us even taught and encouraged as adults. I now label myself as an infidel pagan agnostic atheist and, man, am I comfortable with that!
The pope needs to get over it and get his nose into his own life, out of the lives of others. He may see me holding hands with my husband in the street and become very judgmental. That is not the reason I hold my sweetheart's hand. I hold his hand because I love him. Would the Pope or anyone else rather see us killing each other? There's already too much of that in the middle east, the cradle of the Judeo-Christian religions and Islam.
I chose to go on being an upstanding, respected member of society, contributing whatever positive
You are right, Harry T. However, I challenge you to look even closer at what is happening with this passage. Remember, people during this time assumed that, if one was ill or injured, or there was a natural disaster, people always tried to figure out why "God did it". Obviously, they had to be evil, bad people, unclean in some way, for God to poor God's wrath upon them and to cause them harm and even death. Therefore, that's how they explained anything like that. It was not for them just an earthquake or a volcanic eruption or just a disease, the person affected had to have done something to deserve it.
You can see this happening even in our time, especially among extremeist, fundamentalists from any religion. Didn't one of our xtian pastors in the United States blame homosexuality for Katrina as well as the WTC disasters? Putting myself in their shoes, if there is anything I do not understand, then God doesn't like it, it is an abomination, because there is nothing positive in our holy book regarding this.
We may no longer live in caves or wander around with our tribes, but in the ways we think, we haven't come very far away from those ways of thinking. To believe that our loving God ("God is love.") killed so many people throughout history because "he" somehow didn't like them is to be clinging to our ancient ways of thinking as I mentioned above. We create a dichotomy, in that we say" "God is love" and in the next breath we say, "God will send you to hell to

Demolition Tips for Salt Lake City, Utah
What information is needed when applying for a demolition permit?
Salt Lake City requires the following information in order for a demolition permit application to be successfully processed:
- Water, sewer, and electrical disconnect letters from your utility company
- A gas disconnect letter (if applicable)
- A letter of approval from the Utah Division of Air Quality
- A letter of approval from the Salt Lake Valley Health Department
Will I need a permit to demolish my garage?
In Salt Lake City, any residential one-story detached building or structure no bigger than 200 square feet does not require a permit for demolition. If your garage exceeds 200 feet or is attached, you will require a permit in order to demolish it.
Where do I turn in my completed demolition permit application?
All permit applications are filed through the Salt Lake County Public Works Planning and Development Services Division located at 2001 S. State Street #N-3600, Salt Lake City, UT 84190.
What is the Process For Whole House Demolition, Garage Demolition, or Commercial Building Demolition?
- Request an estimate or estimates from licensed and insured Salt Lake City demolition contractors. Demolishing a home, garage, or commercial building is not a simple project and requires the expertise of a professional demolition contractor to guide the process. During the estimate site visit, interview the contractor for qualifications, references, EPA certifications, and the process the demolition contractor would follow to knock down and remove the building.
- Apply for demolition permits and approval from local government authorities. Depending on your location, demolition permits may be required by the city, county, and/ or state. Your local municipality may also have regulations related to notifications, noise, hours of demolition, disposal of the debris, etc... Your hired demolition company should be well informed about local regulations and will often pull the permits on your behalf.
- Utilities need to be properly disconnected. Utility companies for gas, water, and electricity need to be contacted. All utilities need to be properly disconnected or terminated at the source prior to demolition. Again, this may be handled by your hired demolition company, but clarify upfront with the contractor all of the services that are provided.
- Older homes or buildings need to be inspected for hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint prior to being demolished. If your home or building contains hazardous materials, proper procedures for abatement need to be followed. Your hired demolition contractor may offer this service or sub contract it to an environmental remediation specialist.
- Safely tear down the building. For one to three story structures like a shed, garage, or a home, demolition of the structure is usually achieved using large hydraulic equipment like cranes, excavators and/or bulldozers.
- Removal and disposal of demolition debris. Debris will be loaded onto trucks or into roll off dumpsters for hauling to recycling centers or landfills. Discuss the options of salvaging and recycling demolition materials with your hired demolition contractor.
Why use Hometown?
- Contractor services & credentials verified
- Real reviews from verified customers
- Estimate requests instantly delivered to contractors you choose

Rock that body, Kirstie!
When Kirstie Alley cleared the 100 lb. weight-loss hurdle this summer, it was time for a big, fat celebration.
"When I hit that mark, I went, 'That's it!' " Alley tells PEOPLE during her stay in a villa outside Florence, Italy. "I have more energy than I've ever had in my whole life."
While Alley's weight has famously fluctuated in recent years, the actress, now 60, hit a wall two years ago.

Viewers wanted to talk about a proposed commuter tax in Scranton, and the future of the Mall at Steamtown. Plus, other people had some views they wanted to express about the recent violence in Wilkes-Barre
Talkback: Taxes and Shootings
Report a Typo
2 comments
I work in Scranton but do not live in the area. I live in Luzerne County. And I would like to say to all you commuters out there ….STOP SHOPPING AND SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED CASH IN THE CITY OF SCRANTON. If we have to pay for the pensions of the city employees then let them spend their money in their home town…If they even live in the city. And as for the women who commented that we should give up our jobs in Scranton and go work in our own cities and give the Scranton people our jobs. I think you are the most discriminating person I have run it to lately. We not only pay our city taxes , property taxes and school taxes and now were are going to have to pay for the mistakes of your government body. Why don't you give .75 percent of your pay to the city for their pensions. Or do you not work? Maybe the working people and the government officials of Scranton should start to pay commuting taxes to the surrounding areas every time they leave Scranton. I think it would be a great idea. And maybe Luzerne County wont have to raise our taxes or reassess our properties again. I think the mayor of Scranton should consider the fact that we just got hit with tax increases in Luzerne County and maybe instead of making it harder on us, consider getting the working class of Scranton to start stepping up and helping to pay for your retirement. WHY DONT YOU RAISE THE TAXES IN SCRANTON AND LEAVE THE SURRONDING AREA ALONE. STOP BEING A COWARD AND STEP UP AND ACTUALLY START ACTING LIKE A MAYOR. WHAT ARE YOU AFAID OF NOT GETTING RE-ELECTED AGAIN. I THINK THE PEOPLE OF SCRANTON BETTER OPEN THEIR EYES AND VOTE FOR SOMEONE WITH A BACK BONE COME NEXT MAYORATORIAL ELECTION.
You people want to see violence , go to hazleton. The ghetto of Pa. Shots start ringing out at 6am sharp. No rooster,…gun shots wake you
Then by 10 am someone has either been kidnapped, robbed or shot. By 2pm a bank has been robbed. Then the drug dealers come out from 2-11pm. Then after 11 all the drug deals gone bad are "revenged" by having more shots ring out til about 2am. Then the drunks from the local bars come out TRYING to drive home. And the one that has to walk gets assaulted on a street corner at 3 am.
This is daily. There are no cops around here to protect anyone. We have cops but they are keystone cops. They do not know how to handle the big city crime coming here. Even the police force is afraid. Can someone help the ghetto and call in the national guard ???
Our politicians and leaders have absolutely no clue !

About "Guitars, Cadillacs"
Lyrics for Dwight Yoakam - "Guitars, Cadillacs"
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

According to the Public Transport Agency, public buses operating over 85 routes managed to commute more than 94 million passengers in 2008. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) purchased 620 buses including 170 double-deckers, 300 articulated buses and 150 standard buses, at a cost of AED 1 billion last year.

The RTA is also building 1,000 air-conditioned bus shelters with vending machines and rubbish recycle bins in Dubai, and it is planning three new bus depots with dedicated platforms for departures and arrivals, commercial outlets, restaurants and offices.

3. Describe yourself in three words.
Catholic, cook, writer.
4. Are you left- or right-handed?
5. What was your first deviation?
Star Wars: Way of the Master Pt 1Chapter One
Plumes of titian exhaust poured out of thin, broken factory towers extending for hundreds of kilometers around the dilapidated central spire, the oldest and most used public shuttle service on Coruscant. The emissions formed a dome of smog overhead, blotched with occasional eruptions of atmospheric lightning meeting with the highly volatile pollution mixture. The air was thick and dark, even inside the shuttle service tower, clouds of smoke forced into the heavy, recycled ventilation each time a docking bay portal opened. Florescent glow rods cast a dim, sickly green light in limited-range cones from their even-spaced, rusty wall fixtures throughout the building.
Darth Maul gazed up at the grime and rust-covered structure, reminding him more of an Outer Rim smuggler den than a government-funded service station. He wrapped his black cloak tight around his lean shoulders and his hood over his horned Zabrak skull, concealing every feature - including the double-bladed lightsab
6. What is your favorite type of art to create?
Fiction stories, especially fantasy/sci-fi.

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Rowan Elle Walters, aka Rowanelle, who passed away in 2012 at age 21, was an incredible friend to me, kind and always encouraging. Also, troisnyxetienne.deviantart.com… has been a great friend to me as well.
13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
A notebook and pencil, a blog (which I use to store and publish my writing), and a sketchbook (whenever I get the courage to draw), as well as my stove and oven!
14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
I don't travel much, so I will say at home with my family.
15. What is your favorite DeviantArt memory?
All of the incredibly kind and generous feedback I've gotten on my deviations, it is truly an honor.

Large, modern umbrella stand Monica from Leesburg, VA on 06/15/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is a large umbrella stand that would be at home in a corporate office, but is also suitable for residential use if you have the space to display it and several tall umbrellas in it. The weight is substantial enough to hold more umbrellas that we will have at any one time in our home without tipping over. It might appear more like a trash can if there were no tall umbrellas in it announcing it's function. The modern design appeals to me and demands attention when you see it. I love it!

"Energy Matters is a unique holistic massage therapy and energy work practice designed to address the whole person through customized sessions integrating a variety of treatment modalities. You will be the sole focus and your therapeutic session will be completely personalized to address the needs and preferences of not just your body, but also your mind, emotions, and spirit. Prior to getting my massage license, I was licensed as a mental health counselor with a master's degree in expressive arts therapy. I bring to my practice over 20 years spent working with the mind/body/spirit using the arts."
