Shaunna Jones on May 5
I've not heard anything nor have I received a DVD. :(
Casey Moeller on March 7
Last message I had from the project creator was Dec 22, 2014 after I reached out to her.
"We have been playing Approaching the Elephant at festivals and trying to figure out how to distribute the film beyond the festival circuit. Who distributes the film - in other words who pays to bring it to theaters and pays for the mastering of DVDs, etc - is still being worked out, but should be resolved in a month or two. It's been forever but we are almost there! Once we know who is paying for and making the DVDs I will be sending out all the copies to Kickstarter backers."
Obviously, resolving who pays for the DVDs did not get resolved in those couple months as we are now a little over year past that mark.
Has anyone reached out to her recently?

We're approaching the 2 year anniversary of this project's completion. I have not yet been able to seem the film, as the DVD has not shipped... Any word on when that will happen?
Jeremie LariviereSuperbackeron May 12, 2014
An update would be great! For those of us who couldn't get to a screening, and are looking forward to the DVD, that'd be great, thanks!

HPV/Genital Warts Health Center
HPV / Genital Warts Tests Directory
HPV is diagnosed by a cell sample taken to find the DNA typical of HPV in women. Not all HPV viruses cause symptoms. Genital warts are caused by a type of HPV and can be present in men or women. A doctor will visually examine warts to determine if they are caused by HPV. Sometimes a biopsy of the wart is necessary. Women may be screened for HPV since it can cause cervical cancer, but men are not screened. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how HPV and genital warts are diagnosed, what tests are used, who should be tested, and much more.

Other People's Shoes
I have been thinking about what it means for me to try to put myself into the shoes of other people, too. When I see someone who is different from me — a transgender person, a Muslim person, a politically conservative person, an 'any kind of different' person — I am tempted to look at that person through a hermeneutic of fear. I either fight against that person or flee from that person. But what if I look at that person through a hermeneutic of empathy? What if I put myself in that person's shoes and walk around? What might happen if I do that?

All over the country senior citizens on Medicare Parts A & B are are now discovering that with the proper Medicare Supplement Coverage they are able to:
Get a Medicare Supplemental Plan today and lock in your rates with the coverage you need to have at the rate that suits your budget.
Protect your physical health and defend your fiscal health with a Medicare Supplemental Plan
Like the majority of people that our company have helped down through the years, you have most likely noticed that trying to come to a decision on the correct Medicare Supplemental Policy can be stressful at times. Morever, finding a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Broker to coordinate with when sizing up quotes can be stressful as well.
Good news though, there is an alternative. Locating a Medicare Supplemental Company that you can trust is no bother when you realize that:
Obtain a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan through our company and feel good about about both your more affordable costs and the excellent plans.
Moreover that's not the end of what our company is willing to do for you. Did you ever tried before to put in for an insurance plan like a Medigap? Thousands and thousands of American citizens are sadly declined a plan or received limited coverage on their policy that they caught unawares only after they took care of their initial bill. Plus way too often there are vexing difficulties involved in acquiring a refund or finding other matching Medigap Coverage or other policies.
Things like this don't happen under our watch. The Medigap Insurance Agents in-house are also professional "field underwriters.†we'll not only aid you to find the lowest for Medigap Insurance Quotes, but we'll make certain that you will qualify for the that particular plan before we ask you to apply. By answering a few quick questions about your current health and medical history, you can easily qualified for Medicare Supplemental Insurance Coverage which should enroll you you on the spot, without hassles or concerns about the possibility losing coverage.
We do not counsel a policy to you until we know for sure you will qualify for approval by the Medicare Supplement Insurance company Additionally , our Lowest Rate Guarantee ensures that you never pay anything because of our services and are always paying the affordable available rate on the recommended insurance plan you qualify to receive.
What's more, for your convenience, we have made arrangements with all of our Medigap Insurance Providers to allow you apply for their policies right over the phone quickly and with no hassles. You will receive the cheapest Medicare Supplement Insurance Prices available, coverage for the rest of your days and, if you pick a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F, you will never ever pay another cent again for Medicare-covered procedures.
If you want the best a Medigap Plan F is the perfect policy because it offers:
Medigap is an insider term applied to healthcare policies commonly known as Medicare Supplement Insurance. These Medigap Insurance Plans supplement the gaps in Original coverage that are not taken care of by Medicare Parts A & B.
Medigap Insurance is not an substitute for traditional Medicare like Medicare Advantage Policy, instead it works with traditional Medicare. Furthermore, Medigap Insurance Plans are different from Medicare Advantage Plans as they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no issues with being "in nework" that could impede you healing when you can't see the right doctor.
When you opt for the best Medicare Supplemental Insurance Medicare Supplemental Insurance Coverage a Medicare Supplement Plan F for example you won't ever need to pay a single dime when you get prescribed treatment in a physician's office, hospital or specialty treatment center that accepts standard Medicare.
When you select Medicare Supplement Plan F, whether your healthcare bills are monstrously huge, you will never have to pay anything for healthcare bills just as long as Original medicare greenlights the charges.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Policies: How they give you freedom
Whenever you require medical attention with a doctor, specialty treatment center or hospital, just show your Medigap Insurance card to the doctor, specialty treatment center or hospital. Then everything will, almost magically, be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, when your claim is filed with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare in most cases will route your claim simply to your Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider without you needing to do anything. After this hand off, your Medicare Supplemental Insurance Company will process the claim, in most instances electronically and automically
With a comparison that is easily done on our website of Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, you can learn about the one that's right for your health and finances and then everything will be managed for you. Once again, if you enroll in a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F from us, you will never receive a remaining health care bills to manage.
We strongly believe that healthcare professionals should be allowed to decide what the absolute best medical attention is for you while your Medicare Supplement Policies guarantees you are not burdened with medical bills. And, when you take out a Medigap Policies like the recommended Medicare Supplemental Plan F it is YOURS FOREVER as long as you keep paying the premiums. Unlike the restrictive Medicare Advantage Plans, if you keep on paying the premiums, the Medicare Supplemental Carrier can never take that policy away from you… EVER!
Just like all the thousands and thousands of Medicare patients that we have advised over the years, it's become apparent to you that trying figure out a conclusion on the right Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans can be irritiating to say the least. Also, trying to obtain a Medicare Supplement Provider that will help you out as you examine Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans is difficult as well.

Best of all, our services are free.
Medicare Supplement Rates: Why shop with us?
If you are on Medicare, you are possibly coping with difficult final decisions on signing up for the correct Medigap Plan and you are possibly duped by Medicare Advantage salespeople.
Medicare Insurance Policy Carriers are all required by federal law give the same plan details. Therefore it's imperative to look at all Medicare Supplement Policy Monthly Premiums from the leading companies with a partner you can trust.
Our company is different, because we work on your behalf, not for any one particular Medicare Supplement Policy Carrier. Our industry professionals thoroughly consider all of the Medicare Insurance Policy Companies that offer Medigap Quotes and look for the ones that have a long-standing reputation and also should honor their commitments into the foreseable future.

By shopping around for you, our licensed agents find the very best deals for current status based on your specific needs, not what the Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan Companies want you will buy.
But that is not the full measure that our agents are capable of. Ever tried buy an insurance plan like a Medicare Insurance Plan? A lot of senior citizens, are denied coverage or gotten restrictions on their policy after they had paid the first bill. Unfortunately there's often difficult to fix hassles involved receiving the money you put down for the first premium or getting enrolled in another Medicare Supplemental Policy or other coverage.
We won't let this happen to you.

Furthermore, our Lowest Monthly Premium Promise insures that you won't ever pay a penny for our services and that you pay the cheapest price on the plan you are qualified for.

It is estimated that 1.3 billion tons of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted before it reaches the consumer. This represents 30% or one third of the total food produced. Fruits and vegetables alone contribute 44% or (~572,000,000 tons) of the total losses. There is a call for action to reduce these losses across the world and there are several global initiatives to towards this goal. It is against this background that the special seminar titled 'Postharvest Technologies for Reduced Postharvest Losses' was organized. The seminar was held at the University of Nairobi (UON), Faculty of Agriculture Building on 30th June, 2015.

I was invited to attend two meetings
I. The ACTESA/COMESA regional communication workshop (18-19th August 2014)
II. COP-MOP7 preparatory meeting (20th August 2014)
In both case, I attended the meetings as a stakeholder and an expert in biotechnology and biosafety.
1. The ACTESA/COMESA Regional Communication Workshop
The regional consultative and communications workshop on biotechnology and biosafety workshop was organized by Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), through its specialized agency, the Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern and Central Africa (ACTESA), and in collaboration of the Ministry of Environment and Forest (FDR) Ethiopia. This was a follow-up to the 32nd Meeting of the Council of Ministers in February 2014, where the COMESA Policy on Biotechnology and Biosafety was adopted, taking into account the sovereign right of each Member State.The goal of the workshop was to raise awareness on the developments to date of the COMESA Biotech and Biosafety Policy approval as well as allow member states to discuss on the next steps towards implementation of the regional policy.
Agriculture is the mainstay of most African economies and directly contributes about 26% of the GDP annually and another 25% indirectly in most East African countries. The sector accounts for about 65% of total exports in Eastern Africa and provides more than 70% per cent of informal employment in the rural areas. However, food and nutritional security still remain a major challenge. Farmers mainly practice subsistence crop production using inferior quality seed of low yielding crop varieties. The region requires breeders who are responsive to farmers' needs and who have the skills to apply modern and participatory approaches to crop breeding, especially for those crops that are particularly important in
Bioversity International: research for development in agricultural and forest biodiversity
Research proposal writing courses
Many African farmers, especially in marginal areas, rely on neglected and underutilized species (NUS) for their livelihoods. But the commercialization of NUS is constrained by a weak knowledge base, poorly developed value chains and inadequate capacity and policies. Often, bottlenecks require biophysical and socio-economic research to generate new knowledge that value chain actors can apply to increase sales and profits.
The project 'Strengthening capacities and informing policies for developing value chains of neglected and underutilized crops in Africa', through a grant from the EU-ACP Science & Technology programme, is seeking to develop such research capacity.
Bioversity International, the International Foundation for Science (IFS) and our partners now offer young African scientists training in the art of developing research project proposals that solve problems related to the value chains of Bambara groundnut and amaranth in particular, and NUS in general.
This Call for Research Applications is focused on the value chains of priority NUS plants in three sub-regions: Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa, respectively. We are interested in applications that focus on:
Three regional courses will be held, targeting scientists in eligible countries only (see table below).

Although African Leafy Vegetables have been recognized as contributing to food and nutrition security among rural poor, availability of seed continues to be a challenge. The University of Nairobi, in collaboration with KARI Mtwapa is conducting a participatory seed bulking of select superior local accessions of cowpea among women farmers in Kilifi County. The project is being conducted under the KAPAP Project "Enhancing Production, Value Addition and Marketing of Indigenous Vegetables (cowpea, spider plant, nightshades, amaranth, pumpkin), French Beans and Mushroom Products among Smallholder Farmers in Kenya" for a 3 year period from 2011-2014 by the University of Nairobi and other partners.
The title of his presentation was "wheat stem rust: battling an old foe with cloned resistance genes from wild relatives." The basis of his research is on how microbial effector proteins, their host targets, and plant immune receptors co-evolve. Global wheat production is threatened by stem rust and other diseases and this has led to high wheat yield reductions. The Wulff group uses mutational genomics to isolate and study genes that restrict wheat stem rust and septoria disease in wheat. Their long term goal is to isolate multiple resistance (R) genes and deploy them in combinations as single loci or stacks which

Excess nutrient and sediment discharge in Lake Victoria have led to eutrophication resulting into proliferation of water hyacinth, impairment of transportation, decline in drinking water quality and fish population. The catchment supports 1/3 of Kenya's population and accounts for 60% of the country's surface water resources. This project will contribute to developing a nitrate pollution mitigation strategy by developing human resource and technological capacity for application of classical monitoring and isotopic techniques to assess nitrate pollution pressure.

MOSCOW -- For the U.S. Davis Cup team, it's one must-win
match down, two to go.
Andy Roddick and James Blake must win their singles matches
Sunday against Russia for the Americans to advance to the final
against Argentina.
Bob and Mike Bryan kept U.S. hopes alive with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2
win over Dmitry Tursunov and Mikhail Youzhny in Saturday's
semifinal. The win leaves the Americans trailing 2-1.
The winner will face Argentina, which beat Australia 3-0, in the
final in December.
Russia enters Sunday's matches playing at home, on a surface
that has brought grumbles from Roddick, and with a choice of
opponent against him.
According to the draw, Roddick is to play Youzhny in the opening
match. But Russian coach Shamil Tarpishchev has clay-court
specialist Nikolay Davydenko as an option.
Youzhny said he'd be happy to play, but Roddick said Friday that
he expects to face Davydenko.
"To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised either way," said U.S.
captain Patrick McEnroe. "Andy is very familiar with both players.
It's really a matter of Andy just coming out and playing his game,
trying to stay composed, relaxed -- but intense."
On Friday, Safin beat Roddick 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (5) and Youzhny beat
Blake 7-5, 1-6, 6-1, 7-5, putting the U.S. squad down 2-0. The last
time the U.S. rallied from a 2-0 Davis Cup deficit was in 1934
against Australia.
Chasing the United States' first Davis Cup title since 1995, the
Bryan brothers broke for a 5-3 lead in the first set and went on to
win in 90 minutes on the clay court at Olympic Stadium.
"Andy and James kept coming up to us and saying, 'Give us a
chance, give us another shot, let us redeem ourselves.' And that's
kind of what we went into the match thinking all the time," Bob
Bryan said.
With Youzhny serving at 3-all in the second set, the Wimbledon
and Australian Open doubles champions rallied from 30-0 down to
break, and Bob Bryan fired two aces three games later to put the
Americans further ahead.
They quickly took the lead in the third set, capitalizing on
three unforced errors from Tursunov to break the Russians' serve in
the opening game. Four straight errors from Tursunov handed the
Americans another break in the seventh game and Mike Bryan closed
out the match with an ace.
"When we were up two sets to love and a break, we stepped on
the pedal a little harder, instead of just cruising out the
match," Bob Bryan said.
The top-ranked Bryan brothers have lost just once in 10 Davis
Cup matches. For Youzhny and Tursunov, it was their second loss in
the two Davis Cup matches they have played together.
"The [American] guys played well, and when they're pressing you
so hard, it's tough. They served perfectly," Tursunov said.
Russia, which has not lost at home in 10 years, needs to win one
of the matches Sunday to secure its first berth in the Davis Cup
final since its only title against France in 2002.
The Americans have come back from a 2-1 deficit five times --
twice in 2000, when Andre Agassi and Chris Woodruff won their
reverse singles in the first round against Zimbabwe, and Pete
Sampras clinched against the Czech Republic in the next round after
Agassi made it 2-all.
In 1981, Roscoe Tanner and John McEnroe won the reverse singles
in straight sets against Mexico. The other two U.S. comebacks were
in 1961 and 1902.
The semifinal is being played at the same venue where Sampras
won all three of his matches on clay in 1995 to help the United
States capture its 31st Davis Cup title. Russia, which has never
beaten the United States, is unbeaten at home since losing that
In the other Davis Cup semifinal, Jose Acasuso upset Lleyton
Hewitt in a rain-delayed singles match and host Argentina won its
doubles match to reach its first Davis Cup final in 25 years.
In the World Group playoffs, host Austria won a place in the
Davis Cup World Group next season by gaining a 3-0 lead over
Roger Federer and Yves Allegro gave host Switzerland a 2-1 lead
over Serbia with a 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 victory over Nenad Zimonjic
and Ilia Bozoljac.
Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco beat Italy's Daniele
Bracciali and Giorgio Galimberti in doubles 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4)
to lift host Spain to a 2-1 lead.
Olivier Rochus and Kristof Vliegen extended Belgium's lead to
2-1 over host Slovakia.
Tied 1-1, the doubles match between host Romania and South Korea
was postponed Saturday because of rain.

New London police used cellphone technology to apprehend Evan T. Holmes within hours of the shooting death of Jorge Rosa two years ago and later analyzed his phone calls and text messages for use in his prosecution.
Holmes, 22, is on trial in New London Superior Court for allegedly forcing his way into a third-floor apartment at 252 Montauk Ave. in New London on Nov. 12, 2011, and fatally shooting 25-year-old Jorge "Loco" Rosa in his bed. He has pleaded not guilty to home invasion, murder, felony murder, burglary and weapons charges.
On Friday, the fifth day of his trial, city police Detective Richard Curcuro testified that he contacted T-Mobile, the cellphone provider for Holmes and his alleged accomplice, Davion Smith, after Rosa's girlfriend identified them as the gunmen. Curcuro, tasked with helping locate the two suspects, said he provided their cellphone numbers to T-Mobile's law enforcement support staff and asked them to assist the police with "an exigent circumstance," or emergency.
The phone company notified police that Holmes' cellphone had "pinged" in the Old Saybrook area, and local police found Holmes' car at the Days Inn on Boston Post Road. Police arrested Holmes at gunpoint and took his companion, Shanice Sebastian, in for questioning. Police seized Sebastian's phone and later obtained a search-and-seizure warrant to extract the information it contained.
Detective Keith Crandall testified that he used a Universal Forensic Extraction Device, or UFED, which he said "basically sucks the information off your phone" and puts it into a file that can be used by police. Crandall said he was able to isolate Sebastian's phone activity for the 12-hour period before and after the 4 a.m. homicide.
Sebastian testified Thursday that Holmes picked her up at a friend's house about 4:30 a.m. and drove her to the Days Inn. The phone records indicated Sebastian exchanged phone calls and text messages with Holmes beginning at 4:31 a.m. At 9 a.m., she exchanged texts with a relative of Holmes', who told her, "Come home with Evan," Crandall testified. Sebastian responded "He's not going to go. He's scared (expletive)."
Also testifying Friday was Detective Frank Jarvis, who interviewed the young woman who was in bed with Rosa when he was killed. Jarvis said that about an hour after the shooting, Gabriela Gonzalez was crying and distressed when he began to question her at the police station. He said he did not immediately tell Gonzales that Rosa was dead because he needed to get information from her.
"I was under the impression that if I were to tell her he had died, emotionally she might just shut down," Jarvis testified.
Also Friday, Ryan Johnson, a friend of Rosa's, testified that he spent several hours with Rosa and Gonzalez, who picked him up in Norwich. Johnson said he returned with them to the Montauk Avenue apartment about 1 a.m., where he and Rosa smoked marijuana before Rosa and Gonzalez went to bed. Johnson said he arranged for a ride.
"I take it you were very high when you left the apartment?" defense attorney William T. Koch Jr. asked Johnson on cross-examination. "Yes," he responded.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Ever since last week's shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, people in Puerto Rico have been frantically calling relatives in Central Florida, scrambling to book flights and making funeral arrangements.
The massacre of 49 people early Sunday by a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle shocked people worldwide. But it has been felt particularly hard in this U.S. island territory because so many victims were either born here or were just a generation removed.
As remains of some victims began arriving Thursday in Puerto Rico for burial, people around the island mourned what felt like an attack in their backyard.

In his weekly address, President Barack Obama discussed the benefits of health reform that Americans will receive in the first year, and how reform will help build a new foundation for American families. After reform becomes law, uninsured Americans with a pre-existing condition will be able to purchase affordable coverage, insurance companies will be prohibited from imposing lifetime and annual limits on care, small business will receive tax credits to purchase coverage for their employees, along with many other changes. In short, patients and doctors will have more control over health care decisions, and insurance company bureaucrats will have less.

The Unlucky One
I vote for Electro's set mainly because sand force can be so annoying once murkrow is gone and even if murkrow is alive then rock slide finishes it off after taking sucker punch damage. Also the set forces sand teams to actual do some good team building.
Woodchuck wins in a close vote!
Next mon is Abra.
Abra @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
Level: 5
EVs: 240 SAtk / 200 Spd
Timid Nature
- Knock Off
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Shock Wave / Protect
Simply put, use this as a classic sash abra except that when you switch in something you can RK such as a fighting or something knock off instead of attacking: you cripple the main switch-ins like Porygon/Lileep/Misdreavus/Murkrow, helping you break them down with things like Smash Omanyte/Tirtouga, especially the bulky smash variant that has trouble getting past porygon/lileep.
Abra @ Focus Sash
Trait: Magic Guard
Level: 5
EVs: 200 Spd / 240 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Energy Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
i good mixed moveset for a late game sweeper, energy ball is a bit different than most abra sets, but it can drop that pesky staryu or chinchou. If you are scared of pokemon with moves like fake out u could take energy ball out for protect. The sash is for its obviously low defenses, magic guard for those annoying hazards. The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
Cool set apt-get although I don't understand Shock Wave. Protect would probably be better so it can avoid fake out from breaking its sash / killing it at 1 HP from pokemon like Croagunk, Mienfoo, Aipom and Meowth. Shockwave doesn't do much tbh as its kinda weak without Stab being 60 bp. It only really gives coverage against Krow and Staryu. Psychic does more damage to Staryu and Krow can beat Abra anyway with sucker punch. Unless maybe its an lo krow that switches into a Shock Wave and Abra still has its Focus Sash.
Abra @ Focus Sash
Trait: Inner Focus
Level: 5
EVs: 240 SAtk / 200 Spd
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Taunt/Encore/Energy Ball
Possible Lead Abra (multiple lead options on a team are always a nice thing to have). Inner Focus to surprise the hell out of Fake outs from Foos/Croagunk/Meowth/Aipom. Taunt or Encore to annoy hazard setters or energy ball if you need something to finish off hippo or bulky water types. Its a High risk High reward kind of Abra since you will take damage from weather and hazards and endanger your Focus Sash. The Item choice is difficult to make, Focus Sash is better to lead with since it could let you live a sucker punch or scarfed u-turn. The other options are choice scarf or life orb, choose what fits more whit your team.
It helps against Murkrow mainly, which can be OHKOed after SR and Knock Off, but I added Tect.
Ok vote for
Chromatic Art
pick a good mon next week dcae ¬¬

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
There's a vast amount of intentionally misleading and erroneous information on the Web, says Anne P. Mintz, the director of knowledge management at Forbes Inc. To help readers recognize and deal with this problem, she has gathered 10 contributors to write Web of Deception: Misinformation on the Internet. The authors-who range from database experts to consultants to librarians-examine various pitfalls casual Internet users and professionals should watch out for. The subjects include e-commerce fraud, Web sites that "play doctor," identity theft, charity scams and more. One of the book's most revealing chapters is librarian LaJean Humphries's explanation of how to evaluate a Web site. She suggests considering who wrote the site's content, how often it is updated and if the document is well written. A "webliography" lists sites that offer quality information (among them, www.fraud.org and www.charitablechoices.org). Mintz's wise book will be of great help to parents, educators and every Internet surfer.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-The 10 information-industry professionals who contributed essays to this book were commissioned to share their expertise in illuminating and analyzing the "dark side" of the Web. They aim to impart critical-awareness skills, a healthy dose of skepticism, and practical tips to Internet users. By coaching consumers to engage proactively in investigative search techniques, they want to educate an online community that will be less likely to fall prey to hoaxes, charitable scams, identity theft, medical or legal misinformation, and fraudulent e-commerce schemes. Chapters on how to evaluate Web sites and on how search engines work will be particularly valuable to students, arming them with checklists for establishing authority, strengthening their ability to discern bias, and alerting them to considerations of "paid placement" and subtle advertising in ranked search results. Each topic is thoughtfully addressed, documented with excellent examples, and, in some cases, accompanied by remedies or "countermeasures" to pursue to redress a grievance. An extensive index and a Webliography of quality sites mentioned in the text (many representing links to key government and nonprofit resources) round out the book. The multiple authorship of the text causes the writing to be a bit uneven; some chapters are readily accessible to casual readers, while others target a more sophisticated audience. Nevertheless, the book represents a welcome addition to the arsenal of tools offering guidance on identifying trustworthy, accurate data on the Web, and provides a public service by enumerating techniques for spotting misrepresentations.

even for other experienced information professionals but it is especially important for people who are relying on the web as their source of personnel and professional information.
Rather than scaring folks from using the web, this book is an incredibly useful tool in helping individuals, other researchers, teachers, and business people to use the web more effectively.
Thanks to Anne Mintz and her colleagues for publishing this book and thanks to her employer for supporting her efforts in making us all more responsbile users of web information.

Thanks to Anne Mintz and her colleagues for publishing this book and thanks to her employer for supporting her efforts in making us all more responsbile users of web information.
General search engines create the databases we search by finding what they can. No time is spent judging and analyzing the accuracy of the site or the reputation of the publisher. Fine, this is how general web search tools work but this is also why it's IMPORTANT that the searcher take a few moments and think about where the material is coming from and who is producing it.
Mintz has assembled an all-star roster of experts to provide the reader with the information and skills needed to recognize, understand, and deal with web credibility and authority issues.
"Web of Deception" provides a cautionary note, but doesn't resort to all out scare tactics. Each chapter is well researched and uses many examples to illustrate purposeful deception by web sites. These contributors obviously know what they are talking about.
The many examples will be especially helpful for teachers and librarians who help others judge the authority and quality of web sites.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 1990
Running Time: 79
Director: Joe Rock
Company: Valley Girl Productions
Cast: Cara Lott, Dale Daniels, Suzie Bartlett, Tianna (III), Arrow Garret
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Nice packaging.
I guess I've been spoiled lately by the various girl-girl releases which had a story. Sno Bunnies is something of a throwback to the early days of video when a director brought together a group of ladies and had them go at it for an hour with little pretense of plot. The present pretense has our heroines snow bound in a cabin with no men. So what else is there to do?
Cara Lott, almost unrecognizable in a crew cut, takes top honors for enthusiasm and attractiveness with Tianna and Suzie Bartlett not far behind. Miss Bartlett, who has a peach of a pair, shows promise but needs better roles to demonstrate that her range exceeds that of loud moans. Just the right entry for those looking for wall-to-wall lesbian action.

I'm trying to show that $x^2+3x-1$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{13}]$. I have that the roots are $\frac{-3+\sqrt{13}}{2}$ and $\frac{-3-\sqrt{13}}{2}$, but I don't believe this is enough to show irreducibility. What else would I need?
In fact, since $x^2+3x-1$ is a (monic) quadratic polynomial, it is enough; the only way it could factor is into linear factors, which would require that its roots lie in the given ring.
Note that this is not true for quartics and higher: for example, $x^4+4=(x^2+2x+2)(x^2–2x+2)$ factors over $\mathbb{Z}$ even though its roots certainly are not integers.
