Dh loves to joke that *that* was when ds was made. I think it is sort of funny too. Now that we chart, though, I have been thinking that it would be nice to have romantic sex when we conceive another.

Many of the significant advances in our understanding of atmospheric particles can be attributed to the application of mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry provides high sensitivity with fast response time to probe chemically complex particles. This review focuses on recent developments and applications in the field of mass spectrometry of atmospheric aerosols. In Part II of this two-part review, we concentrate on real-time mass spectrometry techniques, which provide high time resolution for insight into brief events and diurnal changes while eliminating the potential artifacts acquired during long-term filter sampling. In particular, real-time mass spectrometry has been shown recently to provide the ability to probe the chemical composition of ambient individual particles <30 nm in diameter to further our understanding of how particles are formed through nucleation in the atmosphere. Further, transportable real-time mass spectrometry techniques are now used frequently on ground-, ship-, and aircraft-based studies around the globe to further our understanding of the spatial distribution of atmospheric aerosols. In addition, coupling aerosol mass spectrometry techniques with other measurements in series has allowed the in situ determination of chemically resolved particle effective density, refractive index, volatility, and cloud activation properties. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., Mass Spec Rev 31:17–48, 2012

Years ago there was a blog called The Westerner's Fear of the Neonsign. It was one of the best blogs ever written about Japan, but it's been taken down. His seminal post was The Seven Stages of Gaijinhood. Here's the graph:
You can read more about it, as well as comments from other old-timers, on gakuran.com, yet another excellent blog that's gone quiet. It happens. You find yourself with nothing new to write about anymore, or perhaps blogs -- well-considered, well-researched, well-written -- have been replaced by easier, faster, transient social media such as Twitter and Instagram.
So, using the lingo of short-form social media, here's my version of the 5 stages. Yup, only 5.
WTF Japan?
FFS Japan!
Meh ...
Step 5 can go in three directions: "it's not perfect, but it's home, and I've got to make it work" or "I'm going home to my own country, which isn't perfect, but I've got to make it work" or "let's go try a different country, which isn't perfect, but at least it's a new mess".
I miss those old blogs. Those were the days ...

Cherry blossoms 2016: fourth report from Meguro
This has been a rather blah cherry blossom season. I should use the past tense – it was disappointing – because it's over now in Tokyo. A few tenacious blossoms remain, and late-blooming varieties might still surprise us, but the main act has finished.
As I've mentioned before, I stubbornly completed two walks despite the bad weather: a grey day in Kamakura, which I've already written about, and an early-morning sopping wet walk along the Meguro River. My new camera, Mycroft, still hasn't entirely forgiven me for the latter.
This river walk is one of Tokyo's most famous cherry blossom spots, but I avoided it in the past because it looked even more crowded than Chidorigafuchi. This year, when the weekend of peak bloom (満開 mankai) was accompanied by rain, I thought I'd take a chance because it would probably be less frantic. I arrived early and walked from Meguro Station along the river to Ikejiriohashi Station. Despite the rain, the last part of the river in Aobadai – the bit lined with restaurants – was getting pretty congested by the time I left at 9 am. Pancakes sold out. (See below.)
Does the river deserve its reputation? Well …
Ah, come on, you didn't really expect an unqualified yes from perpetually disgruntled me, did you?
Yes, it's beautiful, but I'd hate to be there in good weather during cherry blossom season. You wouldn't be able to breathe. There are far better alternatives in Tokyo's less glamorous suburbs: no hype and no chichi restaurants, but you can listen to uguisu, Japanese bush warblers, singing their hearts out and you can walk in cherry blossom rain in blessed solitude.
The longer I live in overcrowded Tokyo, the more misanthropic I become, and I was never exactly gregarious to start with. Sigh.
Here's Megurogawa:

Cherry blossoms 2016: third report from Kamakura
The weather gods, or Mother Nature, or fate: they're all in a bad mood due to global warming or possibly Japan's obsession with concrete …
It's been estimated that Japan pours 490 cubic meters of concrete per square kilometer, compared with 40 cubic meters in the USA and 310 in China. Not for nothing is Japan known as the construction state.*
Anyway. Whatever the reason, the 2016 cherry blossom season has been one of the worst since I arrived in this mortared matrix ten years ago: it remains overcast, chilly and drizzly. Early April is seldom perfect, but this year's been extra dismal.
While others might bewail a lost opportunity to get blotto under the blossoms, I'm in a strop because it's nigh impossible to take decent photos when soft pink blossoms disappear against a grey sky.
Most of my plans were scuppered, but I stubbornly followed two: to go to Kamakura (which I did last Friday) and to walk along the Meguro River (this morning), both for the first time in cherry blossom season.
Kamakura's blossoms don't rival Tokyo's, methinks, but it was good to revisit the town after a long absence and to go hiking in its hills again. I also discovered, purely by chance, the prettiest peony garden I've yet seen. Sometimes when you take off in a panic to escape tourist hordes, you end up in a tiny paradise.
Dear gods. I don't mind tourists per se, but when they're disgorged from hundreds of package tour buses, that's when I develop anthropophobia, claustrophobia and enochlophobia. I got a fairly bad attack at Tsurugaoka Hachimangū (鶴岡八幡宮), fled down a flight of steps and along the perimeter of the complex, and saw a sign that said "peony garden". It promised a refuge. I paid ¥500, which is slightly expensive but worth every yen. Once I was inside, where it was blessedly quiet compared to the main shrine, I remembered that I'd read about this garden. I can now confirm that it's justifiably famous. What makes it extra beautiful is the backdrop of cherry blossoms, which I haven't seen in any other peony garden.
My main reason for choosing Tsurugaoka Hachimangū was to see the avenue of cherry trees leading up to the shrine, but that was a blah anti-climax. The avenue has recently been reconstructed and planted with new trees, and I'm afraid it's lost its ambience. It will be more beautiful when the trees are bigger, but right now it's cold grey concrete, very neat, very precise, very artificial. Also hopelessly crowded. I arrived early, as per usual; heaven or rather hell knows what it's like during peak times. Not to worry, though: the peony garden and the hike in Kamakura's hills were compensation for all other trials, tribulations and ill tempers.
I also popped into Kenchō-ji (建長寺), an old Zen temple that has a short avenue of cherry trees. Short but very pretty. Photos below.
PS: I went for an early-morning walk along the famous Meguro River this morning. I thought it would be quiet because it was raining, but it was getting quite busy towards 9 am. I ran away again. More later.

Cherry blossoms 2016: second report
There's a bit more colour, but we're still a few days from full bloom. I took these photos at Zōjō-ji this morning. The temple is clearly preparing for big crowds this coming weekend: they're putting up food stalls and what looks like a platform (tea ceremony? dances? AKB-forty-whatnot? who knows) around the main temple building.

Cherry blossoms 2016: first report
The first report is that ... nothing's happening yet. Or, to be more precise, very little is happening. Or to add further detail (for science, John!), very little is happening in Ueno Park.
I noticed one or two early-blooming trees that are always first, every year, but there's not much colour to be seen. The only entertainment, as a matter of fact, is watching the swan boats get into trouble. It's vastly amusing to watch a young swain trying to keep his cool in front of his coiffed, coutured, manicured inamorata while the swan boat is moving in the wrong direction, stuck in a corner, refuses to be manoeuvered and generally speaking is doing everything possible to turn the lover and the poet into a fool and a lunatic. Meanwhile young kids are merrily peddling away, completely in control.
I could watch it for hours.
I've included a few photos. This is what it looks like right now. Full bloom next week.

Plummy pleasures at Kairakuen
Japan has a thing about lists: the three views of Japan, the three major night views, thirty-six special places of scenic beauty, one hundred soundscapes (this list does not include slurping or sniffing, which means it's a fake) and the four cheapest vending machines in Dokonimomachi 4-9-4.
It also has a list of The Three Great Gardens of Japan (日本三名園 Nihon Sanmeien) please-note-capital-letters: Kenrokuen or "garden which combines six characteristics", Korakuen or "garden of pleasure after" (that would be after visiting the four cheapest vending machines in Dokonimomachi 4-9-4) and Kairakuen or "a garden to enjoy with people".
So when an opportunity arose to visit the garden to enjoy with 701 233 septuagenarians during plum blossom season, I was understandably happy. Or, to paraphrase my students, "I am excite. It is very fun."
Off I went, and ...
Look, no kidding, the plum orchard in Kairakuen is beautiful: hundreds of trees, many different species, an explosion of pink ranging from almost white to almost crimson, a lovely excuse to sit down and partake of the fruit of the plum tree in liquid form. However. That's that. That's all there is. Why it's one of the three great … sorry … The Three Great Gardens of Japan remains a mystery that has not been solved by aforementioned infusion of potable plums. Despite that, I'm glad I went. I had great company – regular walkpedition partner Cecilia – and konbini umeshu. Hey. I'm from Africa. She's from Australia. Sophisticated we're not.

I'm going to be lazy for the rest of the post, and mainly quote from the park's … it's a park, really, not a garden … from the park's excellent English brochure.
The park, which was started by Nariaki Tokugawa, opened in 1842. The name comes from a saying within The Book of Mencius which states, "The ancients would share the pleasures with people, so their pleasures would be hearty and deep."
The park wasn't created for feudal lords, but for commoners, and that's apparently why it incorporates characteristics from modern parks as well as formal Japanese gardens. Presumably hordes of commoners require open spaces rather than raked gravel, moss and koi so that we can riot instead of compose haiku.
Apart from the plum trees, the park also has a bamboo forest (which you can't enter), a cedar forest (ditto), a historic three-story house called Kōbuntei (好文亭) and a school for feudal lords' children called Kōdōkan (弘道館). The old house is truly beautiful; I can't comment on the school since we didn't go there.
There were lots of old people and lots of babies and a grand total of four foreigners.
There were lots of old people and lots of babies and a grand total of four foreigners.
It's relatively easy albeit slightly expensive (¥3820 one way) to get there if you catch the Limited Express Hitachi that runs on the Jōban Line and takes you non-stop from Ueno Station to Mito Station in just over an hour. You can then walk to the park (it takes about half an hour) or catch a bus from Mito Station (which also takes about half an hour in heavy traffic).
Cecilia understands about maps and buses and special train tickets. I don't. I usually run around like a headless guinea fowl while she sorts things out in her usual no worries way. She got us there. Then I freaked out when I saw the crowds and started galloping off in a panic. Then she calmed me down with umeshu.
Final verdict? The pleasure of the umeshu was hearty and deep, and, well, that's enough, innit?
PS: If you do go to Kairakuen during plum blossom season, do yourself a favour and walk from the main park across the road to the other side: also lots of trees, but almost no people. Benches where you can sit down. Tranquility. You're welcome.
PPS: I feel obliged to point out that "Dokonimomachi" could be translated as Nowhereville.

A shrine for MIA and AWOL cats
Your cat's gone missing? Went walkabout and hasn't returned? Copycatted Tao in The Incredible Journey or perhaps Kunkush aka Dias?
Fear not. Japan has a shrine for you. If you pray at Tachikawa Suitengū (立川水天宮), your errant moggy will return to you unharmed. That explains the shrine's nickname, Nekogaeshi Jinja (猫返し神社) or "Cat Returns Shrine".
It all started with jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita (山下洋輔), whose cat disappeared. Yamashita walked all over the neighbourhood in search of the animal, but no success. During his wanderings he stopped at Tachikawa Suitengū, several kilometers from his home, and prayed for his cat's return.
The next day … guess who turned up? Since then, cat lovers visit this shrine to ask for their cats' protection, and people who've lost a cat pray that their pet will come back home.
|The cat statue at Tachikawa Suitengū
The shrine, also known as Azusami Tenjinsha (阿豆佐味天神社), is in Tachikawa, a 20-minute walk from either Musashi-Sunagawa Station on the Seibu Haijima Line or Sunagawa-Nanaban Station on the Tama Toshi Monorail Line. I chose the former because I spotted a river on the map and thought it might be a nicer walk.
It was, and as a bonus it was a crystal clear day, which meant Fuji-san was a constant companion. I've mentioned before that Fuji-san always acts coy with me – I never see the damn mountain because it's either hazy or cloudy or rainy whenever I'm in its vicinity – so this rare glimpse was rather nice.
The shrine's main purpose isn't cats, but babies. Suitengū shrines are associated with Suiten (水天) or Suijin (水神), the Shinto deity of water, the sea, fishing folk, fertility, easy delivery, motherhood and children. If you visit one, be prepared for women, fertility, lots of babies and weird baby-related rituals.
When a baby is 100 days old, for example …
You realize it pains me to write about babies? I mean, really, me?!, but OK, I guess Japan needs babies to grow up strong and become salarymen who can work hard to provide pension money for all the old people.
We try again. When a baby is 100 days old, you're supposed to do all kinds of rituals and make special food and give it a teething stone. Apparently you select a small smooth stone at an appropriate shrine and give it to your baby so that the
odiferous brat little tike can gnaw on it. Read more here and here.
This stone is called a hagatame no ishi (歯固めの石) or teething stone. The Tachikawa shrine has a whole pile of it. I took a picture and fled back to the cat statue, which is to the right of the main shrine (if you're facing it).
|Teething stones. I'm not sure that it's a good idea to give a baby a stone to eat,
but ignore me, I know nothing.
You can pray here for your cat, and if you wish to add oomph to your prayers, you can attach a photo of your cat to the ema you've bought.
Last bit of trivia. If you want to hear Yamashita play, here you go.
That's the end of the cat story. I'm still a bit surprised that I've finally resumed my shrine hunts after such a long time – 2015 was a bit not good – but here I am, like a missing cat, reporting for duty again. Die kat kom altyd weer, al is dit net sy gees.

Is there any way to print both onto the "display" and also into a file at the same time without repeating the print "string" code?
What I want to do:
if ($ofile) {
open (FILE, '>>', "file");
print "Hello" #some code#; #prints on the display and into the file
instead of:
if ($ofile) { open (FILE, '>>', "file"); }
print "Hello";
if ($ofile) { print FILE "Hello"; }
Tried googling but all I found was either or, not both features together.
Edit to add questions:
Then use IO::Tee to create a new tee'd handle, and then select $tee so that print uses it by default. – Eric Strom
@EricStrom What do you mean by create a new tee'd handle? Do you mean this
Local::TeeOutput? search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.34/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm
@EricStrom Do you have an example?
@EricStrom Local::TeeOutput is not available in the default library for Strawberry Perl. Is there any alternative that's inside the default library?

I don't think she should be taking care of people. She does not listen to me as a patient and she ask the same questions. She does not remember any memory and sends me to the same doctors for the same things even thought the doctors would tell me all is well. They send her a copy of the report yet she ask me what did the doctor say in my follow up visit. Seems dangerous when dealing with healthcare.
Dr, Nartey cares for my elderly mother - we are never rushed and always able to get an appointment. For us, she has been wonderful.
Automation is great but it is not a replacement. If you want to feel like a number she is the doctor for you.
she is caring and would always listen to you
Doesn't communicate WITH you about what is wrong and doesn't allow you to explain nuances and variations in symptoms. Also doesn't clarify beyond simple instructions.
She is very rude first off when we went inside the room we had to wait for over fifteen minutes. Then she had enough nerve to ask me if I was a homosexual why does that matter I was going to you for a help with a illness. I would not recommend her to no-one.
I had a question for her when I was there getting my bloodwork done, the lab girl went to grab her for me but I heard the doctor in the hall yelling at the lab woman for even coming over to her and she refused to speak to me to answer my one medical question. All other office staff extreamly nice.
I would not recommend. We got there 10 min late due to traffic and told us to leave and reschedule. Then, she took the other people that came after us who were also late. When I refused to leave, she sent out an Asian nurse to relay the same message (in English). Needless to say, I switched doctors for her. This was the appt we had to reschedule because she was out for over 2 mos. The worst experience ever.
Dr nartey is bi-polar she really doesn't listen to me regarding pain issues
Everytime I go to see her, she takes her time with me. She listens and gives me respect and confidentiality. I am going to keep her as long as I can.
She is someone who cares, not only because she wants to be paid but she wants her patients to get well.

Court officials warn of bogus emailsJune 03,2014Court officials warn
of bogus emails
Authorities are warning the public to beware of email telling the recipient they have just received important information from the state court system that must be opened.
Court officials say several Windham County residents reported receiving email messages with the subject line, Notice of Appearance. The messages also state that an attached notice must be opened for more information and is signed, Truly yours, Susan Mason, clerk to the court.
These emails are not legitimate court notices, and the attachments are likely malware that will attempt to gather personal information stored on the users computer, court officials said in a release issued Monday. Please instruct anyone receiving such an email to not open the attachment, and to report the receipt of the email to their Internet Service Provider.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Most German Stocks Gain on G-7 Yen Intervention; BASF, SAP Rise
Most German stocks rose as Libya declared a cease-fire and the Group of Seven nations agreed to sell the yen to ease concern that Japan will sink into recession following the March 11 earthquake.
K+S AG and BASF SE advanced as analysts recommended their shares. SAP AG rose 1.6 percent as the world's largest maker of business-management software proposed a 20 percent increase in its dividend. Adidas AG declined after rival Nike Inc. reported profit that missed analysts' estimates for the first time in 19 straight quarters.
The benchmark DAX Index climbed 7.52, or 0.1 percent, to 6,664.4 at the 5:30 p.m. close in Frankfurt, trimming its weekly retreat to 4.5 percent. Six stocks rose for every five that fell. The gauge has tumbled 10 percent from this year's high on Feb. 18 amid concern that higher oil prices prompted by Arab revolts would curb global economic growth and as a 9-magnitude earthquake, the biggest on record in Japan, struck the northeast part of the country. The broader HDAX Index added 0.2 percent today.
"It's a positive sign for the market to hear the G-7, the Fed and the ECB say they're sticking together with the Bank of Japan to help the Japanese economy," said Heinz-Gerd Sonnenschein, an equity strategist at Deutsche Postbank AG in Bonn.
The G-7 jointly intervened in the foreign-exchange market for the first time in more than a decade, selling the Japanese currency as their markets opened. The strong yen had threatened to hamper Japan's recovery from its worst postwar crisis by curtailing the earnings of its exporters.
Crippled Reactors
Engineers in Japan worked into the night to restore power to two of the crippled reactors at the country's damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi power plant. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it may finish reconnecting a power line to the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors by tomorrow morning. The electrical link would be used to restart pumps needed to protect fuel rods from overheating.
Stocks across Europe rose as Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa said the nation is ceasing all military action and will start talks with the opposition.
K+S rose 1.3 percent to 50.62 euros as Europe's biggest potash producer was raised to "buy" from "hold" at Commerzbank AG, which said an improvement in potash volumes and a pickup in prices are not reflected in the stock's current valuation.
BASF gained 1.7 percent to 56.25 euros as the world's biggest chemicals company was raised to "overweight" from "neutral" at JPMorgan Chase & Co.
SAP, Deutsche Wohnen
SAP advanced 1.6 percent to 40.73 euros as it proposed a 20 percent increase in its annual dividend to 60 euro cents a share.
Deutsche Wohnen AG, Germany's second-largest publicly traded residential landlord, climbed 3.3 percent to 10.64 euros as the stock was rated "buy" in new coverage at Deutsche Bank AG.
Adidas lost 1.4 percent to 43.22 euros. Net income rose to $1.08 a share in the fiscal third quarter ended Feb. 28, Nike said yesterday in a statement. That compared with the $1.12 average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

**For hotter salsa, let it sit for an hour to overnight.
**The jalapenos & Serrano peppers are optional, of course, as not everyone likes spicy things!
Also, this salsa is a better alternative to the canned version as it has no preservatives, so don't feel guilty about eating it by the spoonful! We make this at my house all the time, and can't make it fast enough!!!!

You didn't start anything that did not need saying. I am glad it is addressed and in the open for all to read.
I hope everyone understands where Jerry is coming from and I am coming from. I agree with him on his comments and he sees that I am new and need to focus more on specific things, at times.
I am not insulted by any means. As I have said, I have a few top notch holsters that had flaws... do I regret my purchase? No. Could they have been corrected? Sure. Will I buy from them again? Sure... especially since I have little to no time to make my own. LOL.
Seriously, the most important thing is is that you are happy. If you weren't, I would have rebuilt the rig with corrections noted and made. If you want another one, I will build it... that is clear in my site.
I want you to be happy and safe with your rig.. that is priority one.
Take it easy and know this is just a necessary evil in this business.

Homo Pride Parade: The Rat City Rollergirls' Dilemma
posted by April 24 at 15:56 PMon
Dear Dan:
In the planning stages for our 2007 roller derby season, the Rat City Rollergirls were excited to learn that Key Arena was available the day of the Seattle Pride Parade. We immediately placed a hold, and set about trying to partner with the organizers of Pride to be a part of the post-parade Seattle Center events and entertainment. The result of our joint planning was "The Big, Gay Bout at Seattle Pride," which was to be be held in Key Arena late Sunday afternoon on June 24 after Pride-goers were sun-crisped, pleasantly drunk and looking for a seat and a spot of air conditioning before heading to the all-out, into-the-night dance party in the fountain.
Several weeks ago we both announced this partnership (SOaP in a press release, us on our Web site). The Rat City Rollergirls were to assume all costs for playing in Key Arena, and were happy to offer a discount, day-of ticket to the masses (normally $20-25) for $10 in order to make the event available and affordable to as many Pride-goers as possible. Also, on top of our original plan to donate 10 percent of the "Big, Gay Bout" profits to Lambert House, we were also looking to donate $1 from every ticket sold back to Seattle Pride to help the organization with its costs, past and present. We were just excited to be a part of it all!
Like many, we were surprised and saddened by news of the change in Pride plans, though we certainly understand SOaP's position. Our league's support for the principles and ideas behind the annual event rise above scheduling details or business partnerships—no matter when and where it is, we'd really like to participate.
However, we are now a bit worried about not only playing in a venue more than five times the size of our normal Magnuson Park Hangar with no larger celebration going on outside at Seattle Center, but also that if Pride events are held elsewhere that day, we may suddenly be competing with the very events we had hoped to be a central part of.
I write to you because it seems that The Stranger's Slog has become a town hall, real-time discussion of what's next for Pride. Obviously the decision ultimately rests with those who are willing to do the heavy lifting to organize and plan Pride, but after reading what you and others have had to say, we wanted you to know of our Pride plans, and that we still somehow want to help and be a part of it.
If the parade remains downtown, even if there is no formal mass gathering at Seattle Center, we may consider keeping our event at Key Arena in the hopes that it would provide a fun place for people to assemble and celebrate. If the parade moves to Capitol Hill, we will likely need to seek an alternate venue. No matter where we (or Pride) end up, the beneficiary, theme and spirit of our June roller derby bout will remain the same—wherever it is, it will benefit Lambert House, it will be sometime during Pride weekend, and it will undoubtedly be as big and gay and fabulous as we can possibly make it.

Conoco's Nigeria Exit: Goodbyes Are Never Easy
For ConocoPhillips, it hasn't been easy to say goodbye to its Nigerian business.
In December 2012, the U.S. energy titan struck a deal to sell its holdings in the West African country for just shy of $2 billion. The buyer: Oando Energy Resources, a subsidiary of Nigeria-based Oando PLC.
Leaving Nigeria is part of Conoco's plan to raise cash to pay for a big push to drill in U.S. shale. The Houston-based company expected to close the sale in the first half of 2013.
But the would-be buyer has struggled to come up with the money. The companies in September split the deal into two smaller packages, and pushed back deadlines to give Oando more time to line up financing.
If Oando doesn't come through with the money for the bigger piece of the deal by Nov. 30, the agreement could be on the rocks, according to a Nov. 5 regulatory filing.
Oando made a $435 million down-payment a year ago. It owes Conoco another $1.2 billion to buy its interests in oil fields on and offshore, along with a stake in a power plant. Oando said in an October statement it had secured $815 million in credit, calling it an "important step towards closing" the deal with Conoco.
Separately, Oando's parent has agreed to acquire Conoco's stake in a Nigerian project to chill natural gas into liquid form for around $100 million. That deal is expected to stretch into 2014.
An Oando spokesman said the company was "confident" the deal would close by the end of November and the market would be kept abreast of any updates.
Conoco has toned down its optimism about the deal in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company noted Nov. 5 it could keep Oando's $435 million deposit "if closing does not occur due to default by the buyer or failure to obtain all consents required under Nigerian petroleum laws."
A Conoco spokesman said the company is still aiming to finish all of the deals it has made public by the end of 2013, including the sale of its Algeria unit, noting that "some involve complex full country exits and take time."
Meanwhile, the value of Conoco's assets in Nigeria has fallen to $371 million from $600 million in December 2012, according to company statements. Conoco says that the assets have not been impaired and the change in value is the result distributing cash balances.

Since 1986, The Carter Center has led the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease, working closely with ministries of health and local communities, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and many others.
Guinea worm disease is set to become the second human disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. It will be the first parasitic disease to be eradicated and the first disease to be eradicated without the use of a vaccine or medicine.
Considered a neglected tropical disease, Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis) is a parasitic infection caused by the nematode roundworm parasite Dracunculus medenisis. It is contracted when people consume water from stagnant sources contaminated with Guinea worm larvae. Inside a human's abdomen, Guinea worm larvae mate and female worms mature and grow. After about a year of incubation, the female Guinea worm, one meter long, creates an agonizingly painful lesion on the skin and slowly emerges from the body. Guinea worm sufferers may try to seek relief from the burning sensation caused by the emerging worm and immerse their limbs in water sources, but this contact with water stimulates the emerging worm to release its larvae into the water and begin the cycle of infection all over again.
Guinea worm is a particularly devastating disease that incapacitates people for extended periods of time, making them unable to care for themselves, work, grow food for their families, or attend school.
In 1986, the disease afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, thanks to the work of The Carter Center and its partners — including the countries themselves — the incidence of Guinea worm has been reduced by more than 99.99 percent to 22 cases in 2015.
The Carter Center works to eradicate Guinea worm disease in four remaining endemic countries: South Sudan, Mali, Chad, and Ethiopia.
There is no known curative medicine or vaccine to prevent Guinea worm disease — the same treatment for emerging worms has been used for thousands of years.
Traditional removal of a Guinea worm consists of winding the worm around a piece of gauze or small stick and manually extracting it — a slow, painful process that often takes weeks. The skin lesions often develop secondary bacterial infections, which exacerbate the suffering and prolong the period of disability.
The Center's strategy is to work with ministries of health to stop the spread of Guinea worm disease by providing health education and helping to maintain political will.
The Guinea Worm Eradication Program is wiping out this ancient disease mainly through community-based interventions to educate and change behavior, such as teaching people to filter all drinking water and preventing transmission by keeping anyone with an emerging worm from entering water sources.
For the eradication campaign to continue successfully, enormous dedication and attention to detail is critical for all field supervisors and the thousands of community-based volunteers charged with executing the campaign.
The Carter Center spearheads the international Guinea worm eradication campaign and works in close partnership with national programs, the World Health Organization, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, and many other partners.
The Carter Center leads the international Guinea worm disease eradication campaign, compiles and distributes case numbers, and provides technical and financial support to national programs to interrupt Guinea worm disease transmission and bring cases to zero. When transmission is interrupted, the Center provides continued assistance in developing or strengthening surveillance in Guinea worm-free areas and preparing nations for official certification.
National Ministries of Health in the endemic countries oversee domestic Guinea worm elimination programs and engage and train field workers and supervisory staff.
The World Health Organization is responsible for certifying countries as Guinea worm-free, and is the only organization that can officially certify the eradication of a disease.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides technical assistance and verifies whether worms from final patients are truly Guinea worms.
UNICEF mainly assists countries by helping to provide safe sources of drinking water to priority areas identified by the national Guinea worm eradication programs.
