23 June 2014
Agro-pastoralists in Ethiopia's northern Afar region once used to migrate in search of water and pasture for their herds. But today, they are staying put, thanks to a range of government environmental and public works projects, supported by WFP.
20 June 2014
As field monitor for WFP Ethiopia's Gambella office, Pereleth Othieing is putting in marathon hours in the refugee camps and border points of western Ethiopia. His task: making sure the hundreds of South Sudanese refugees pouring into the country daily receive the food and nutritional assistance they desperately need. So far, nearly 150,000 South Sudanese have sought asylum in western Ethiopia, since conflict erupted in their homeland in December, 2013.
21 May 2014
During a May pledging conference in Oslo, the international community committed to step up its humanitarian response to the crisis in South Sudan - including helping refugees, who are crossing by the thousands into Ethiopia and other neighbouring countries.
2 May 2014
In June, top officials will gather in Ethiopia to assess the achievements of the two-year-old Purchase from Africans for Africa programme, a groundbreaking, Brazilian-inspired initiative to empower smallholder farmers that has been rolled out in five African nations: Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Senegal. Brazil's Ambassador to Ethiopia, Isabel Cristina de Azevedo Heyvaert, saw the results during a WFP field trip to the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region (SNNPR).
14 April 2014
German funding for WFP-supported relief and safety-net programmes in Ethiopia is helping 1.6 million pastoralists and farmers living on the edge.
7 April 2014
With conflict continuing in South Sudan, WFP's Executive Director Ertharin Cousin and UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres are calling on the international community to step up their humanitarian response. The two UN agency heads spoke with refugees, government officials and humanitarian workers during a visit last week to Ethiopia, which is registering one of the highest numbers of South Sudanese refugees.
22 March 2014
Tens of thousands of refugees from South Sudan are pouring into Ethiopia, fleeing the fighting in their homeland. By the end of the year, officials say Ethiopia could be hosting some 150,000 South Sudanese refugees. WFP is distributing food rations to refugees in camps and border crossings, along with special, nutrient-packed foods for the most vulnerable. But the sheer numbers of new arrivals are straining the resources of the humanitarian community.
30 January 2014
Akobo Tergol is a small town in the western part of Ethiopia. Recently its population has grown due to the conflict in South Sudan and an influx of refugees. More than 20,000 asylum seekers have crossed the river which forms the border between the two countries and WFP has been providing life-saving food assistance, in partnership with the national refugee agency ARRA.
2 September 2013
As the world's largest humanitarian agency, WFP uses its procurement needs to boost agriculture in developing nations: in 2012, itbought US$1.1 billion worth of food and more than 75 percent of that was in developing countries. Now, through its Purchase forProgress (P4P) programme, WFP is procuring food from smallholder farmers, giving them a greater incentive to invest in theirfarms.
30 July 2013
With an education in International Humanitarian Action and background experience working for NGOs, Canadian Brett Hanley was well positioned to take on the challenge of working for WFP's offices in Ethiopia. It's a long way from her roots in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. We asked Brett about her life and work with WFP.

Robots in Ancient Greece
What would happen if robots went back in time to ancient Greece?
I couldn't find a play button on the main screen, but since the menu was intact it all worked out anyway. The animation/plot is beautifyl, a lone sprout rising out of the ground, lighting up the world, shadows creeping, a character in the woods. it's like a movie made from Knytt, complete with ambient music and explorative scenarios. Great work!
Thank you!
It was beautiful. I just wondered about the monster. What was with that?
Thank you. The monster represented loneliness and longing.
I really enjoyed this! In my opinion this may very well be one of my favorite things on NG.
Great job.
Very good!
Very good job. I like the animation style and how you portrayed it. I will give it a 10/10. Again, very good.
this gave me shivers
this movie was so good that it legitimately gave me a shiver at the end.
Glad you enjoyed it:)

"Dalice--my wife--is dead."

Alternative file manager for Gnome
Keyboard Shortcuts
The developers mainly based navigation on Norton Commander or the text-based Midnight Commander [3]. For example, you can press the Tab key to toggle between the two directory panes.
The original design is also reflected in function key assignments such as F3 for the file viewer or F5 for copy.
If you prefer a mouse-oriented approach, Gnome Commander does give you this option. Double-clicking a directory makes changes to that directory.
A Nautilus-style address bar above the directory content is also very useful because it gives users a simple option for climbing up the directory tree. You can just click the required directory name to do so.
Remote Servers
In a world of global networks, modern file managers need to let users access all kinds of remote resources, such as WebDAV, ftp, SSH, and SMB.
The version tested for this article, version 1.2.6 from early June, supported ftp and SMB, with SSH and DAV support to follow shortly, according to the developers.
SMB and Ftp
By clicking the corresponding buttons, you can conveniently browse SMB shares – Gnome Commander will then show you the locations it has discovered.
For ftp access, go to the Connections menu, select New Connection, and type the server name (such as ftp.gnome.org) and, optionally, a directory name (Figure 1).
For ftp servers that require a user login, select FTP (with Login) in the Service type combobox; in addition, type your user name and password.
If you would like to store an ftp server connection in the program, click Remote Server in the same menu. If everything works out, you will see a button with an alias below the toolbox; now you will be able to access the resource directly.

I've written before about the massive project I've undertaken with a friend — a book of photographs of our children, modeled after the brilliant J. M. Barrie's one-of-a-kind book, The Boy Castaways of Black Lake Island.
It turns out that a multi-step, multi-hassle, multi-errand, time-sucking project like this one brings SO MUCH HAPPINESS!
It's fun to do something fun with a friend — and even better, our children are involved, too. It's always fun to take cool photos of your children, especially when you can dress them in costumes. We have a reason to do things we wouldn't ordinarily bother to do; this morning, we met in the park at 9:30 a.m. It was gorgeous in the park, but in the normal course of life, we would never have been there that early today.
This morning, the Boy Castaways project (as we call it now, because we haven't thought of a title for our book yet) was also an opportunity for me to enjoy the novelty and challenge that are so important to happiness.
Today was a big day, because we were taking the much-anticipated boat shots. We rented two rowboats in Central Park, rowed out to the middle, and took pictures of the children. One of the photos will take its title from my favorite line from Barrie's Boy Castaways: We set out to be wrecked.
The novelty and challenge, for me, arose from the fact that I had to row one of the boats. This is not the kind of thing I would ordinarily be inclined to do at all. I'm very uncoordinated and unadventurous. My friend, on the other hand, was raring to go. She's the type to eat pie for breakfast and encourage her kids to catch turtles — so rowing a boat was no big deal for her.
I'm sure she knew I was dreading the challenge (fact is, novelty and challenge are usually accompanied by fear or frustration), and also knew that I'd be fine if I had to do the rowing, and indeed, once we got out on the water, I LOVED it. "Why haven't we done this before?" I kept thinking. "We could eat a picnic on the water! We could row all around the lake! We have a great view of Bethesday fountain!"
Now, for many people, rowing a boat isn't novel or challenging — but it was for me. I got a burst of happiness from the satisfaction of having tackled my uneasiness and having mastered something new. The fact that it's extremely easy to row a boat on a perfectly calm little lake didn't at all detract from my feelings of triumph.
And the photos! They were unbelievable. A happy morning.
I discovered the Wisdom Journal — a blog about "life, money, business, and the pursuit of balance." Subjects useful to the study of happiness!

Michael Callahan is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and a former deputy editor at Town & Country and Marie Claire. His knowledge of style and culture certainly comes in handy in his debut novel, SEARCHING FOR GRACE KELLY. It's the story of three young ladies --- all staying at the glamorous Barbizon Hotel in 1950s New York --- who embark on a journey of self-discovery that will take them from the penthouse salons of Park Avenue to the Beat scene of Greenwich Village to Atlantic City's Steel Pier. In this interview with 20SomethingReads.com's Rebecca Munro, Michael talks in stunning detail about the world that these women inhabited, as well as what drew him to the Barbizon Hotel in the first place. He also considers the timeless allure of a "bad girl," how he created well-rounded characters out of tried-and-true archetypes, and what he thinks is the modern version of the Barbizon experience (hint: It's not nearly as glamorous!).
Lisa Unger is an award-winning New York Times and internationally bestselling author, best known for dark psychological thrillers. Her latest, CRAZY LOVE YOU, incorporates all the elements that fans --- and she herself --- love most. In this interview, Unger shares some surprisingly light aspects of her creative process, including how she conceived of her character, Ian, and the evolution of The Hollows, the depressed, haunted town where Ian and his best friend, Priss, grew up. She also talks about why creative people seem to find "a home in their art" at a young age, and how the natural and supernatural worlds coexist side by side…and our experience of them is mostly a matter of perception.

Jessica (Jess) Lourey is the author of the critically acclaimed Murder-by-Month mysteries, written with "a splendid mix of humor and suspense." In FEBRUARY FEVER, the latest addition to the series, airplane-averse heroine Mira James decides to take a train to visit an old friend. When a passenger is found murdered, it's up to Mira to track down the killer --- or end up derailed...permanently. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Amie Taylor, Lourey talks about how Mira has grown throughout the series, the art of naming a character, and why she'll never get too old for bathroom humor. She also shares fellow mystery authors who have inspired her and a hilarious story about how Amtrak was a little less than enthusiastic about accommodating her research.

Kristin Hannah is the bestselling author of more than 20 novels. Her latest is a bit of a departure for her: THE NIGHTINGALE is a sweeping work of historical fiction that tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, as each embarks on her own dangerous path toward survival, love and freedom in German-occupied France. In this interview, Hannah discusses the brave Belgian who inspired her to tell the story of the women's war, as well as the pros and cons of writing fiction that adheres so resolutely to history. She also shares her favorite scene in the novel, how she overcame her nerves in order to actually write it, and what she hopes readers will take away from the story.

Scott McCloud, comics' most eloquent and prolific theorist, is best known for his explications of the form: UNDERSTANDING COMICS and its follow-ups, REINVENTING COMICS and MAKING COMICS. But starting in the late 1980s --- even before he turned to non-fiction --- McCloud began his comics career with an American superhero manga series, Zot!. And this year, for the first time ever, McCloud puts his talents to an original graphic novel, the absolutely monumental THE SCULPTOR. Here, McCloud sits down with The Book Report Network staffer and GraphicNovelReporter site coordinator John Maher to discuss his newest work, his history in comics and why he prefers the pen to the hammer and chisel. Note: This interview is chock full of SPOILERS!

Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) December 31, 2013
For the millions of Americans who are thinking about starting a diet on January 1st, Dr. Susan Albers, psychologist and author of EatQ, is extending an invitation to try something new this year, the Mindful Eating Pledge. This pledge outlines five behavioral changes geared to shift people out of the holiday eating mode and help them enter the new year on a healthier foot.
Put simply, mindful eating is about consuming food with more awareness. Eating mindfully prevents "autopilot eating" such as mindlessly popping food into your mouth while watching T.V., eating at mealtimes whether you are hungry or not and consuming comfort foods to ease stress. Studies show that making these small behavioral changes can have a significant impact on improving one's health and weight.
What is in the Mindful Eating Pledge? Just agree to do the following:

As controversy raged over the recent horrific attack on a pregnant Longmont woman toward the end of this year's legislative session, we noted in late April that a bill proposed by Colorado Senate Republicans "in response" to that attack, Senate Bill 15-268, incorporated model language from the national anti-abortion advocacy group Americans United For Life. Even though Senate President Bill Cadman insisted that the legislation was not intended to restrict abortion rights, AUL proudly took credit for the bill with its members, as part of an explicit strategy to overturn Roe v. Wade "through deliberate, legal strategies that accumulate victories, build momentum, and restore a culture of life."
In particular, language in Senate Bill 268 defining a "human being" as "an unborn child at every stage of gestation from conception until live birth" echoed the Personhood abortion ban constitutional amendments that Colorado voters have overwhelmingly rejected three times in recent elections. An amendment to strip the Personhood language was rejected by the GOP Senate majority, and despite Cadman's protests to the contrary, it was clear by the time this legislation was finally killed in the Democratic-controlled House that the "ulterior motive" of chipping away at abortion rights was very much the goal–as AUL was more than happy to confirm in their member communications.
Now that the session is over, it should be noted that Americans United for Life played a role in more than just the so-called "fetal homicide" debate. In a memo distributed just before the end of Colorado's legislative session this year, AUL includes our state in a long list of states where their organization has contributed "legislative consulting" and model bill language:
AUL and AUL Action have responded to 329 legislative consulting requests in 31 states and the District of Columbia: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, [Pols emphasis] District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
So far this legislative session, AUL has distributed 620 policy guides/model language in 33 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, [Pols emphasis] Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
In terms of specific bills AUL takes credit for in Colorado this year, it's a lot more than just the "fetal homicide" proposal:
• Colorado is considering HB 1162 which is based on AUL model language and prohibits sex-selective abortions.
• Colorado is also considering HB 1128 which is based on AUL model language and provides licensing and safety requirements for abortion clinics. The measure includes an admitting privileges requirement.
• Colorado is considering SB 268 which is based on AUL model language and provides legal protection for unborn victims of criminal violence.
All of these bills, along with others like the bill to make abortion a felony earlier in the session, were ultimately killed in the Democratic House. The only one of these bills that ever had any hope at all was the "fetal homicide" bill, and then only because the tragic attack on Michelle Wilkins was still fresh in everyone's minds. But to Cadman and Americans United for Life, the attack on Wilkins was an opportunity to push a big piece of a much broader anti-abortion agenda–and maybe even get it passed through a legislature partly controlled by Democrats. It didn't matter that the alleged perpetrator in the Longmont attack faces over 100 years in prison if convicted, making the need for a new crime beyond Colorado's existing unlawful termination of a pregnancy statute unnecessary.
These facts help explain why Democrats and pro-choice groups were so enraged by the exploitation of the attack on Wilkins by Cadman and the GOP Senate majority: they knew where this legislation was coming from, and they knew what AUL's agenda really is. It's widely suspected that the blowback at Cadman over the "fetal homicide" bill provoked him to allow a much crazier abortion restriction bill, Senate Bill 15-285, to drop right before the end of the session. Cadman, after all, is famously easy to piss off, and his responses are not always the most level-headed. Politically, these anti-abortion bills are highly toxic in the long term–but that didn't even slow Cadman and the Colorado GOP down a bit.
Now that the dust has settled, hopefully the media can stop making excuses for what happened. Because it's all out in the open now.

With no Republican objections, President Obama's pick to lead U.S. trade efforts abroad passed a key Senate committee vote Tuesday and could be confirmed by the full upper chamber as soon as next week.
The Senate Finance Committee paused a hearing on sex trafficking for about one minute to approve Michael Froman, now deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, to be U.S. trade representative.
The nomination was approved on a voice vote, with no senators opposing the nomination.
Mr. Froman did face some sharp questioning during his confirmation hearing last week after his financial records revealed that he has about $500,000 in Cayman Islands bank accounts. Panel Republicans noted that Mr. Obama had criticized GOP rival Mitt Romney in the 2012 election for having offshore accounts as well.
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the ranking Republican on the panel, noted that Mr. Obama had nominated two other people with financial ties to the Cayman Islands, including Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.
Republicans also called into question a sizable bonus that Mr. Froman earned for his work at Citigroup, which was one of the big banks bailed out in the 2008-2009 global financial crunch.
If confirmed by the full Senate, Mr. Froman will have a full agenda negotiating pacts with both the European Union and a handful of Asia-Pacific nations. In his confirmation hearing last week, Mr. Froman pressed Congress to give Mr. Obama the expired "fast-track" authority to negotiate major trade deals that lapsed six years ago.
Negotiations on the trade agreement with the European Union, dubbed the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, will begin later this summer, and officials hope to complete it by the end of 2014. Negotiators are expected to complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would open up trade with 11 Asia-Pacific nations, by the end of this year.
"We're counting on you to be very energetic," Mr. Hatch said at last week's hearing.

I think there may have been an episode or two in Voyager that stated this, but weren't they mostly cruising at Warp 6 or 7 most of the show because the ship couldn't go past Warp 8 all the time? So this could account for some of the 70 year trip.
Ideally, it would be a case that most ships could
cruise at Warp 6 indefinitely, but cruise at higher warp speeds for correspondingly shorter and shorter periods of time due to the strain on both engines and spaceframe. Non-canon sources would have a ship's maximum warp reserved for relatively short emergency flights of up to twelve hours or so. But as with most things in Trek, there was never a set rule in regard to warp travel times and distances, although VOY did try more than other shows to keep some consistency to where the ship was in relation to home (in light-years) during its journeys.

It speaks for itself in my opinion.The princess stayed there quietly,Not wanting to intrude.To startle her with questionsWould be nothing short of rude.The ocean kept its distance too,By drawing back its tide.But suddenly, the mermaid hushed,Her watery eyes were wide.Not watery in simple tears,But watery in hues -The deepest, richest underseasShone out in vibrant blues.So stunning was her fixed gaze,Unblinking as the sun.Though almost frightened by her stare,The princess would not run."Hello…" she said at length,To this wondrous form.Her heart was quickly beating.Her cheeks were growing warm.The deep eyes never faltered.The mermaid made no sound.The princess shuffled foot to footAnd looked down at the ground.Slowly and unsurely,Forward Meara steppedTo the hollow in the sandWhere this being wept."Hello." returned the mermaid,At last giving reply.They both remained in wonder;The sea had met the sky.
And that in itself isworth contemplationsince somehow we both havea place in creation…
ComfortNo matter the pain, those feelings will pass
The struggles endured today
The present of peace will one day be cast
The torment breaks your soul too fast
And thrashes your heart as you lay
No matter the pain, those feelings will pass
The taunting of strangers, with words so crass
The lethal thoughts begging to stay
The present of peace will one day be cast
Anxiety reaches critical mass
Crying for justice, for thieves to pay
No matter the pain, those feelings will pass
Fragile plans shattered by glass
And jeering horses start to bray
The present of peace will one day be cast
One day I hope you find a hope that will last
And keep the brokenhearted believers at bay
No matter the pain, those feelings will pass
The present of peace will one day be cast
And as the sun breaks the horizon with amber rays, she drags her husk of a body over to the mirror, where this small and damaged girl eyes her own reflection. Her straw -like hair is unkempt and tangled, her arms bruised and covered with scratches. Long, red marks are visible from the length of her elbows to her wrists, her nails having etched into her skin in desperation. With hands clasped together, she prays to the angels to protect her, to help everything become alright. People have heard her pleas as she strains through clenched teeth to get messages to heaven, each note returning unanswered.
The fireworks are bursting in the background as we lay against the ground enjoying the new year. Your therapist has recommended you leave me because she says, "I distract you from your real goal."
You don't want to but you also want the approval of your therapist. I want what's best for you.
"Don't leave me, Gabriel."
I turn my head to you and you follow suit.
"You don't leave me first."
At that, you smile and scoot closer to me. We still haven't made physical contact yet but we haven't done that in days. Your attacks have been more frequent and relentless. So I just sit with you while you figure it all out in your head.
"Maybe he was like, a janitor or something. Not important," I suggest halfheartedly. But he was much more. He never got to come home to his curious child and sweet, adoring wife. Work consumed him and became his soulmate instead. Ever since, my mother has been working to make ends meet, and only requested a vacation to see the grand opening of this work of art. I've been wanting to help out, but she makes a fuss about it and tells me to stay home and wait for her after she finishes working.It's a nice read, to be honest. Worth every minute I read it, anyway. Has the potential to improve, but all in all, a job well done.
"Yes. Maybe." she answers absentmindedly. Blake and I see that her mind has floated elsewhere, and begin chatting about WorldFall instead.
"I just beat the story mode yesterday. Emotional ending, y'know," I say.
"Mm. Wait until you get to one of the extra chapters. It's a feel trip."
"Oh, great."
An hour passes. I stare and find myself lost in the rolling green pastures, peppered with a selection of multicolored flowers. It looks a bit like Christmas lights. As we approach the Aerodome, the emerald is slowly replaced by glossy silver and gray. Light is scared away by the sudden presence of shadow. I look up. The dome takes up the entire sky now, blotting out the last few waves of sunlight. It appears as a giant in the air, an amalgam of technical prowess and metal. A juggernaut of metal. I see now the intricate linings of gray snaking across the behemoth. And yet, there are no stilts, no pillars to support it. It's truly magical.
"Wow," is all I can say. Blake and my mother nod in agreement, their faces dim under the earth.
"Hello!" A jovial middle-aged man approaches us. He's well-dressed in a three-piece suit, auburn hair slicked back. Blake and I instinctively walk behind my mother. It must look pathetic: two tall teenagers attempting to hide behind a dwarf of an unfazed woman. The man pays us no heed, and instead asks my mother for our passes. She produces them, and he nods emphatically and leads us toward the elevator, where a long line twists around the expanse of murky ground.
"Isn't this exciting?" my mother giggles, giddy.
"In just --" she looks at her watch, "-- in just two hours, we'll be in that elevator and up in the heavens! I hope there aren't too many birds up there. It'll get in the way of my pictures."
As she fumbles with her camera, Blake can't suppress a smirk and points at her. They've always thought my mother was hilarious.
You can be scared of the thing, of naming it in case it became real, like she was, and you could be scared in the thing. Depression and fear go hand in hand, she learned at that young age, because even though she did not know what depression was, she could be afraid of being different – for depression makes you different. Little things at first, not being able to sleep giving you dark bruises under your eyes and leaving you floating on cotton wool brain cells for the day, until you crash in the afternoon but then can't sleep at night. Knowing people were not going to like you is another gift depression gives you. You can see into a person's mind and know that they are not going to 'be your friend' as one thinks at that age. Therefore, she went through pre-school without any friends but the girl with bracers on her legs – because even though a mental disability and a physical disability cannot be compared or comprehended at that age, somehow children know instinctively that they are linked.One of the paragraphs in this work. It speaks for itself, in my honest opinion. Haunting, passionate, and sincere.

The world carefully monitors the price of gold because of its association with banking and monetary systems around the world. Aside from using gold as money, humans have fashioned it into decorations since at least 4000 B.C. But gold has many unique properties that make it useful for other applications. With spot gold prices currently over $1100, let's take a look at some uses of this precious metal. (For info on gold investing, check out Getting Into The Gold Market and 8 Reasons To Own Gold.)
- Pharmaceuticals
Credited with curing or warding off everything from smallpox to measles, for centuries, the Chinese have used gold as a vaccine.
Gold was a common treatment for rheumatoid arthritis from the late 1920s until the 1990s. According to the JohnsHopkinsArthritisCenter, gold flakes were injected into muscles, into the veins and even given orally. Though gold could sometimes be an effective treatment, it is unclear exactly how it improves the patient's condition. New treatments with fewer side effects are now preferred.
One of the most exciting uses of gold in medicine is precision delivery of medication to fight cancer. Microscopic gold covered "medicine bullets" are fired at targeted cells then activated to release their load.
- Implants
Most people associate gold body parts with gold fillings or caps on teeth. It can also be used in medical implants from stents to pace makers because it is resistant to bacteria and deterioration.
- Health Supplement
The Japanese originated the tradition of ingesting thin films of gold in beverages and food as a sort of "vitamin". In India and Egypt, it is taken as a powder or a tablet.
- Beauty Regime
Chinese beauty product manufacturer Umo, offers massage cream, facials, and other products containing gold. Check out their website for the entire line: http://www.umosen.com/en/products.html.
- Conductor / Connector
Gold's ability to conduct electricity and facilitate connectivity has been known for decades. Since the 1930s it has been used in telecommunications equipment from fuses to switches. Just about anything electronic contains gold circuits. The microchips in cell computers, cell phones, even that little locator chip embedded under your pet's skin contains gold. It is common to find 24 ct gold plated electrical adapters and plugs for audio and video cables.
- Imaging
Photos printed in gold produce high quality lasting images. New technology uses gold ink in ink jet printing. High quality compact disks coated in gold resist scratches and last longer.
- Chemical Cleansers
Used as a chemical catalyst, tiny gold particles are used in industrial settings to provide a cleaning mechanism for chemical reactions. It is important for pollution control, energy production and food production.
- Sun Block
Astronauts wear gold coated visors in space, not as a fashion statement, but to protect their eyes from dangerous sun rays. Gold covers many parts of space crafts and modules to deflect harmful radiation.
The windows of entire buildings, like the RoyalBankPlaza building in Toronto, are coated in gold to reflect light and decrease utility bills.
- Industrial
The ability to conduct heat, add strength, and reflect light, makes gold a popular industrial element. Gold is used for everything from coatings to lubricants to moldings in manufacturing.
A recent search for gold plated auction items on Ebay.com turned up 38,302 items, mostly jewelry & crafts. Also found were: musical instruments and curling irons. In addition to plating, gold can be found as a glaze, thin leaf, and liquid. In its solid form coins, jewelry and sculpture are prominent.

"I loved that i was able to change the color to the purple i wanted! I am marrying a pilot and we're having a travel themed wedding so i am extremely happy we found a save the date with this adorably cute old fashinoned plane on it :) We have gotten so many compliments on it"
"This is my first purchase from WPD and I'm incredibly happy! First of all, this site is far more affordable than most wedding invitation sites and they give you such a broad range for customization. These save the dates are gorgeous, the size is perfect too, not too large. Thank you! I'll be purchasing the rest of my wedding suite with you."
"I received many compliments about this save the date. The wedding paper divas customized the colors to the colors of my wedding. The picture looked exactly how it did in the proof. The only downfall was some of them got lost in the mail. If you have a lot going out of state I would recommend not doing a magnet. Perhaps if the envelope was thicker it would have travelled better, and not gotten lost. However, at the cost I would think it's safer just to go the normal "save the date" route and not risk any getting lost."
"I can not say more good things about this product. I received countless compliments on our save the dates. We personalized our save the dates with our fave engagement photo and it looked gorgeous! We used the blush color instead of the mint color. It looked perfect. I highly recommend these!"
"Loved our save the dates !! The design was beautiful & quality was excellent. All of guests LOVE them and have commented on how fun they are for a NYC wedding. Ordering and communication with the designer for minor altercations was a breeze ."

Lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court seeks forfeiture of 7 properties allegedly purchased using proceeds of long-running human smuggling operation
NEW YORK — A civil forfeiture action was filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday, targeting seven properties allegedly purchased in Dutchess County using the proceeds of a long running human smuggling operation. This event stems from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
Greek national Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos is believed to have run the human smuggling ring.
"These seizures are an important step in our efforts to dismantle the alleged worldwide human smuggling operation run by Panagiotopoulos. Criminal organizations should be on notice that the United States will not allow proceeds of criminal activity from anywhere in the world to be laundered in our country," said James T. Hayes Jr., special agent in charge of HSI New York. "HSI New York partners with HSI Attaché offices in Athens and around the world to work closely with U.S. Attorney's offices to strip criminal organizations of their illicitly obtained assets."
"With today's civil complaint seeking forfeiture of seven Dutchess County properties allegedly purchased with the proceeds of a sprawling, lengthy human smuggling operation, we continue our work to take the profit out of crime whenever it touches the Southern District of New York," said Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. "I would like to thank ICE HSI for helping our office to carry out that objective on this case."
According to the allegations contained in the complaint filed today in Manhattan federal court:
Since 2013, HSI, in coordination with Greek law enforcement authorities, investigated the human smuggling and visa fraud activities of Greek national Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos. Panagiotopoulos is believed to have participated in human smuggling, passport fraud and visa fraud since at least 2003. As part of this scheme, Panagiotopoulos facilitated the smuggling of foreign nationals, principally Albanian citizens, into the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada, in exchange for payments of thousands of dollars per smuggled person. He received payment for his illegal services principally in cash or money orders that he would then launder through bank accounts in the United States and, ultimately, through the purchase of real estate, including real estate in Dutchess County.
Panagiotopoulos has recently been arrested and charged by Greek authorities with crimes relating to false applications for passports, and is currently awaiting trial in Athens.
HSI New York developed the money laundering case and seizure in coordination with HSI Athens. HSI Athens initiated a human smuggling investigation against the Panagiotopoulos organization in May 2013 with Greek authorities and subsequently coordinated arrests in 2014.
The complaint includes claims for the forfeiture of seven properties located in the Town of Wappinger, each of which is alleged to have been purchased with Panagiotopoulos' fraud proceeds. The complaint further seeks civil money laundering penalties in the amount of at least $373,297.93.News Source : Lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court seeks forfeiture of 7 properties allegedly purchased using proceeds of long-running human smuggling operation

Past years:
Finding a possibility to play early, Valor Christian linebacker Andrew Pint committed to Boise State today.
"Love the coaches," Pint said. "They have a great program."
Pint, a senior who plays primarily inside, chose the Broncos over offers from UNLV and Northern Colorado. He also had interest from Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Air Force and Iowa.
Boise State offered five weeks ago after Pint attended the school's camp in June. He said the famed blue turf at Boise didn't take much adjusting to.
"It's different," Pint said, "but it's cool."
Pint is a two-star prospect rated by Scout.com. He had 118 total tackles last season, including 41 solo tackles and three sacks.
Pint committed after returning from a family vacation to Virginia last week.
"I just had been thinking a lot about it, talking to my family, talking to my coaches," Pint said. "It just seems like the best fit football-wise, school-wise and everything. They play good, fast defense and that's what we're about at Valor, so I'm excited about that.
"We actually do a lot of the same things defensively that they do, so there's a little sense of familiarity at Boise."
Pint said the coaches told him the plan is to keep him inside. He was also told playing early was a possibility.
Boise is loaded with seniors and juniors at linebacker, and Pint was the second of three commits the coaches told him they were taking at the position.
"Once I get there, there's only four other guys ahead of me," Pint said. "They're not very deep, so I'll have a chance to play pretty young."
He becomes the 12th in-state prospect to commit from the 2012 class — and third from Valor Christian, following defensive end Michael Mann (Arizona Sate) and wide receiver Max McCaffrey (Duke).
