The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has asked judges to delay the start of the war crimes trial of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta due to a lack of evidence.
ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said in a statement she needs time to reconsider her case after one key witness decided not to testify and another confessed to giving false evidence "regarding a critical event" in the case.
"Having carefully considered my evidence and the impact of the two withdrawals, I have come to the conclusion that currently the case against Mr Kenyatta does not satisfy the high evidentiary standards required at trial," she said.
Judges at the court in The Hague, Netherlands must rule whether to grant the adjournment — or perhaps dismiss the case.
Lawyers for Kenyatta have previously petitioned the court for a dismissal, arguing that evidence against Kenyatta was tainted by false testimony. That argument has been bolstered by Bensouda's remarks.
Human rights groups have previously warned that witnesses in the case are being intimidated. Human Rights Watch lawyer Liz Evenson on Thursday called Bensouda's statement "deeply disturbing."
The move to delay the trial "comes in the context of an unprecedented climate of witness interference that the government has failed to check," Evenson said.
"We hope the prosecutor will use every appropriate means to continue her investigation" and see if she can proceed, Evenson said.
The prosecutor did not specify a time in which she might be ready to take the case to trial. Kenyatta's trial has been delayed once at the request of the defense, and was due to start on 5 February.
Kenyatta has pleaded innocent to charges of crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, forcible population transfer and persecution, for his alleged role organizing violence after Kenya's 2007 elections that left more than 1,000 people dead by early 2008.
Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding president Jomo Kenyatta, was elected president earlier this year despite his 2011 indictment by the ICC. Popular resistance among Kenyans to the court's authority may have helped his campaign.
African countries accuse the ICC of disproportionately targeting African leaders. The court has indicted only Africans since it was established in 2002, although half of the eight cases it is prosecuting were referred to it by African governments.
Earlier this year, the United Nations declined a request from the African Union to ask the court for a one-year delay of Kenyatta's trial. African leaders said trying Kenyatta, a sitting president, could have a destabilizing influence on the Horn of Africa.

Art's Birthday Party at Swansea Gallery
Artists and artist groups from Swansea will be gathering at the Glynn Vivian from 1pm this Friday 14 January, as the gallery begins the annual celebrations for Art's Birthday.
Art's Birthday is an international event and 2011 marks art's 1,000,048th birthday.
The idea of celebrating 17 January as Art's Birthday was proposed by sometime Fluxus artist Robert Filliou in 1963, and artist groups around the world now host an array of events to mark the occasion.
Party goers in Swansea will be joined at 1pm by Dr. George Nash, archaeologist and specialist in prehistoric and contemporary art, who will discuss the birth of art, its earliest manifestations in Wales and how modern graffiti might hold a key to understanding prehistoric art.
Artist Steven Paige will also be joining the celebrations from 2pm to 5pm, and asking audiences to get involved by facilitating the production of a unique magazine for all attendees of the event. The magazine will be customised and given away as a free birthday goody bag to all those attending.
Art's Birthday Swansea organiser, Barnaby Dicker, said, "Although the occasion is always Art's Birthday, each year's celebration has a different form and emphasis and the events are shaped by everyone who comes and gets involved."
Fern Thomas from Swansea artists group Supersaurus said, "It is a great opportunity for artists to come together to celebrate the birth of art in anyway they see fit. The Art's Birthday events embrace the ethos and fun of Fluxus whilst posing the important question of 'What is art?' or 'What can art be?'"
This year will see the exciting addition of the Arts Birthday Online Radio Station with live recordings of events, discussions and selected music available to download as podcasts from Swansea's Art's Birthday website.
Information on international events can be found at www.artsbirthday.net or you can keep up to date with the Swansea activities at www.artsbirthdayuk.blogspot.com
Art's Birthday will have its base this year at the new Supersaurus Studio on Orchard Street, Swansea and will form part of the international celebrations. For more information, email Contact.supersaurus@

Preliminary Observations on the Progress and Challenges Associated with Establishing the U.S. Africa Command
GAO-08-947T: Published: Jul 15, 2008. Publicly Released: Jul 15, 2008.
Additional Materials:

In February 2007, the President announced the U. S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), a Department of Defense (DOD) geographic combatant command with a focus on strengthening U.S. security cooperation with Africa, creating opportunities to bolster the capabilities of African partners, and enhancing peace and security efforts on the continent through activities such as military training and support to other U.S. government agencies' efforts. DOD officials have emphasized that AFRICOM is designed to integrate DOD and non-DOD personnel into the command to stimulate greater coordination among U.S. government agencies to achieve a more whole-of-government approach. This testimony is based on the preliminary results of work GAO is conducting for the Subcommittee on the establishment of AFRICOM. GAO analyzed relevant documentation and obtained perspectives from the combatant commands, military services, Joint Staff, Department of State, USAID and non-governmental organizations. GAO plans to provide the Subcommittee with a report later this year that will include recommendations as appropriate. This testimony addresses (1) the status of DOD's efforts to establish and fund AFRICOM and (2) challenges that may hinder the command's ability to achieve interagency participation and a more integrated, whole-of-government approach to DOD activities in Africa.
The Department of Defense has made progress in transferring activities, staffing the command, and establishing an interim headquarters for AFRICOM, but has not yet fully estimated the additional costs of establishing and operating the command. To date, AFRICOM's primary focus has been on assuming responsibility for existing DOD activities such as military exercises and humanitarian assistance programs, and DOD plans to have most of these activities transferred by October 1, 2008. DOD has approved 1,304 positions for the command's headquarters, and by October 1, 2008, plans to have filled about 75 percent, or 980 positions. Also, DOD plans to have 13 other positions filled by representatives from non-DOD organizations, such as the State Department. DOD is renovating facilities in Stuttgart, Germany, for interim headquarters and plans to use these facilities for the foreseeable future until decisions are made regarding the permanent AFRICOM headquarters location. The initial concept for AFRICOM, designed and developed by DOD, met resistance from within the U.S. government and African countries and contributed to several implementation challenges. First, DOD has had difficulties integrating interagency personnel in the command, which is critical to synchronizing DOD efforts with other U. S. government agencies. DOD continues to lower its estimate of the ultimate level of interagency participation in the command. According to DOD, other agencies have limited resources and personnel systems which have not easily accommodated DOD's intent to place interagency personnel in the command. Second, DOD has encountered concerns from civilian agencies and other stakeholders over the command's mission and goals. For example, State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development officials have expressed concerns that AFRICOM will become the lead for all U.S. efforts in Africa, rather than just DOD activities. If not addressed, these concerns could limit the command's ability to develop key partnerships. Third, DOD has not yet reached agreement with the State Department and potential host nations on the structure and location of the command's presence in Africa. Uncertainties related to AFRICOM's presence hinder DOD's ability to estimate future funding requirements for AFRICOM and raises questions about whether DOD's concept for developing enduring relationships on the continent can be achieved.

You are one of the crazy rare dissenters that doesn't pair the C3 with the BH, correct? If so and you are using the C3 solo, then yeah, the X3 might be worth the price of admission. The C3 alone sound great, but the extra power that the amp provides can really bring out the best in a lot of gear.
Nah, I've already stated why I don't pair the two - first, synergy with my inventory (the only ones I like with that combo are the vsonics and s500 and use neither of these on the go) and second, the lack of proper bass boost coz while the BH has a bit better clarity and bigger soundstage, its bass "boost" is pretty bad IMO (and not only because it boost the top end) and doesn't do what the C3 needs, which is to add sub-bass and better control as the C3 has a bit of bass roll-off. The E11 handles that better even though it's slightly behind in overall power.

I was reading the freshwater DNR report and saw good things. I quoted it below,
John Mullican sent us this report from the upper Potomac River. Flows in the Potomac River continue to be below average for this time of year. Insect hatches have been heavy with several species of mayflies hatching nearly every evening. During a particularly strong hatch over the weekend I watched smallmouth bass slowly rising and sipping mayflies off the surface like trout. Bass of all sizes were taking advantage of the easy meal, including a number of 12 â 15 inch fish. I was a bit surprised to find that a small surface lure went completely untouched, but a suspending jerkbait would frequently draw a strike. By dusk thousands of mayflies covered the surface and the boat ride back to the ramp would have been more pleasant with a face shield or goggles!
I noticed that also. Given your extensive knowledge of the regional fauna, what hatches might these be on the river, and how far is "upper" in context of this report? I have seen many caddis and occasional mayflies on river between DC and Seneca, but other than white flies in early July I have not heard of spring hatches being significant events on the river. Could this be a function of low flows this spring that they are even noticible events wrt smallmouth feeding? The comment about no action on a surface lure vice a suspended jerkbait might suggest the smallies were not so much feeding on the hatch but keying on baitfish which were on the hatch. I have heard/read this it is often a good tactic for smallies when hatches are on to fish streamers/Clousers etc., especially for larger fish.
It's probably sulfurs and similar mayflies. There will be thousands of them. Ive seen it before. The fish will swim through the sea of spent bugs and eat .But a streamer just below the surface is probably the better way to go.
Upper Potomac for Mullican is Washington County but those bugs hatch well in Montgomer County portion too.

There was an incredible hatch of sulphurs on the Gunpowder yesterday as well. The fish were taking them just below the surface as emergers, and since the nymph stage is darker than the adult, something like a GRHE fuzzy nymph seems to work well, at least they did yesterday. Good stuff, Salmo, and neat to hear about the Potomac hatch.

I've historically gotten a better quality of SMB fishing streamers during the hatches. It seemed the bigger fish were targeting smaller fish eating the flies.
This might be a result of the lower flows and warm temps. Living in Harrisburg, my home stream is the Susquehanna. Big fish tend to stay near the bottom when the water is cooler and running high. A good friend of mine lives on the river north of Harrisburg. In fact, I sold him the home. In any event, he witnessed good surface activity this spring during grannom caddis and sulphur hatches. The Susquehanna has some issues, but it is still a bug factory. He went out one afternoon during the grannom and caught a few hogs on top. I fish for smallies during specific mayfly hatches later in the season. My best smallmouth to date was caught on a hexegenia mayfly pattern. I've done well fishing the light cahill, whitefly and hex hatches on the susquehanna and its tribs. I've also hit some mid fall hatches on the river and done well on slate drakes and bwos. My experience is that when the flows are low and the hatches strong, the big fish in the river are looking up. Otherwise, the big smallies are tight on the bottom of the river. I've posted this photo before, but thought I would share again. I caught this on a Hexagenia dry fly.
That's a beautiful fish. I usually just use woolly buggers or surface poppers, but I'd like to catch some big boys at this point.... What size fly are you typically using for smallies?

All brands of politics and economics are deeply rooted in the idea of robust economic growth, combined with the belief that governments and central bankers can exert substantial control over the economy to bring this about. In his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald identified this fatal attraction: "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter – tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther."
But in nature, growth is only a temporary phase which ceases with maturity.
Economic growth has become the universal solution for all political and economic problems, from improving living standards, reducing poverty to now solving the problems of over-indebted individuals, businesses and nations. Growth allows higher living standards. It generates higher tax revenues, helping balance increased demand for public services and the funds needed to finance these.
Strong growth hides disparities in the distribution of wealth in many societies. Combined with the democratisation of credit, allowing lower income groups to borrow and spend, which ironically helps drive growth, it avoids having to deal with the problem of stagnant real incomes.
The prospect of improvements in living standards, however remote, limits pressure for wealth redistribution. As Henry Wallick, a former governor of the US Federal Reserve, diagnosed: "So long as there is growth there is hope, and that makes large income differential tolerable."
But much of recent growth was based on policies encouraging debt-fuelled consumption, as well as unsustainable degradation of the environment and profligate use of natural resources. The ability to maintain high rates of economic growth is now questionable.
Economists and policymakers (the alchemists attending the court of modern rulers) face a parallel crisis of credibility. Their power and influence derives from the well-crafted illusion that they can control the economy and markets with the application of applied mathematics and statistics.
Professor Robert Lucas of the University of Chicago set the bar on self-congratulation, claiming in 2003 that macroeconomics had "solved, for all practical purposes" the problem of economic depression. In 2007, on the 10th anniversary of its independence, Sir Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, spoke of a "sea change" in economic stability which he believed could not be dismissed "solely as a result of luck".
But policymakers may not have the necessary tools to address deep-rooted problems in current models. Revitalised Keynesian economics may not be able to arrest long-term declines in growth as governments find themselves unable to finance themselves to maintain demand. It is not clear how, if at all, printing money or financial games can create real ongoing growth and wealth. The former German finance minister Peer Steinbrück questioned this approach: "When I ask about the origins of the crisis, economists I respect tell me it is the credit financed growth of recent years and decades. Isn't this the same mistake everyone is suddenly making again?"
Debates about the economy assume the inevitable return to robust growth. Politicians everywhere repeatedly mouth the sacred mantra of economic policies that lay the foundation for long-term growth. Even in Japan, which is about to enter its third successive decade of economic stagnation, the latest government recently outlined its growth strategy.
The reason is not difficult to discern. Writing about the US in The American Future, the historian Simon Schama observed that no one ever won an election by telling the electorate that it had come to the end of its "providential allotment of inexhaustible plenty". Like Fitzgerald's tragic hero Gatsby, the incredulous battle cry of politicians and policymakers everywhere is: "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!"
But the inability to acknowledge and manage the potential economic stagnation increases the chance of social conflict and political breakdown. Governments need to adjust policies to an environment of low growth with attendant problems of employment, labour relations, industrial policy, social welfare and stability. Relations between nations need to be reshaped to cope with increasing competition for growth, markets and scarce resources.

By Molly Born / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A teenager was in critical condition after being shot Friday night in Homewood, Pittsburgh police said.
Officers in the city's Zone 5 station went to the 1000 block of Brushton Avenue about 11 p.m. for a report that a 16-year-old had been shot, public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.
Medics took the teen, whose gender was not immediately available, to UPMC Presbyterian with a gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen, she said.

Man held for Green Zone attack plot
Baghdad: Iraqi forces placed Baghdad under a blanket curfew throughout yesterday after US troops arrested a man suspected of plotting to attack the capital's government compound with suicide car bombs.
US troops arrested a security guard at the home of the leader of the main Sunni political bloc on Friday.
The US military said yesterday the man was suspected of planning attacks on the fortified "Green Zone'' and may have been linked to Al Qaida.
"Coalition force personnel detained an individual at the residence of Dr Adnan Al Dulaimi in Baghdad on September 29. The detained individual is suspected of involvement in the planning of a multi-vehicle suicide operation inside Baghdad's International Zone,'' the military said in a statement.
Al Dulaimi leads the Accordance Front, the largest Sunni bloc in parliament, which is also housed inside the sprawling Green Zone.
A senior official in the Front named the arrested man as Khudhar Farhan and said he was in his mid-20s and had joined Al Dulaimi's security staff about a month ago. Farhan did not have a security pass to enter the Green Zone, he said.
Report denied
Dulaimi said on Friday immediately after the raid that he expected the man to be released. He denied a report from a police source that his son was detained.
There was no official explanation for the curfew. A political source said it was linked to fears that security in the Green Zone had been compromised. He said access for all but the most senior officials had been curtailed.
The 5 sq km compound is home to thousands of people, including most senior officials and the US and British embassies.
Another senior Iraqi official said the curfew was imposed because of fears of more widespread unrest after a bloody first week of Ramadan. The curfew would remain in place until 6am today, Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki's office said.
The US military said the curfew was the Iraqi government's decision and said such measures had proven effective in the past.

Photography Chose Me I've loved the look of glass in telescopes and camera lenses since I was very young. Something about the glass just looks cool. After graduating high school in 1977, my parents bought my first 35mm film camera. I attended a photography class at a local community college that Fall. Unfortunately, the cost of film and developing forced me to put formal photography training on hold. In August of 2004 I was able to rekindle my love of photography with new equipment and a renewed intensity. My photography has grown a lot since 2004. I now realize that each photograph must be refined and polished to bring out my original vision. The entire process, from imagining the photograph to the final product, is as individual as...

Last weekend, about 100 women returned to the Parramatta Girls Home for a reunion that they hoped would help them deal with their hard early years.
Sharon O'Neill reports.
JAN McGUIRE, FORMER STUDENT: I thought I was being sent down to somewhere where I was going to be looked after.
And sent to school and be educated.
But I didn't receive any education.
All I received was beltings and kickings and isolation cells.
SHARON O'NEILL: Her name is Jan McGuire.
And, like thousand of other women in NSW, she was sent here to the Parramatta Girls Industrial School for her so-called education.
Built as an orphanage in the 1800s, this institution was later taken over by the Child Welfare Department as a place to train and reform wayward girls.
The doors of this institution finally closed in the 1970s.
But last Sunday they opened again as many of the Parramatta girls returned for a reunion that would be unlike any other.
It's been 40 years since these women were last together at Parramatta and as they waited to go inside there were two clear emotions -- joy and grief.
The Parramatta Girls Industrial School was a school in name only.
In reality it was a prison were the girls were stripped of their liberties and frequently punished with physical force.
Not surprisingly many of the women had mixed feelings about coming back.
FORMER STUDENT 1: I felt funny when I first came in through the gates because my hair stood on end, I got goosepimples all over and I got all goosepimply because I used to scrub it with a toothbrush.
Mate, that done me.
SHARON O'NEILL: Making the girls scrub this walkway with toothbrushes was only part of the cruelty.
For many, the real horror was what went on behind closed doors in places like the shower room.
FORMER STUDENT 2: I was here in '53.
I was only a child running away from home.
And you go before a children's court and you're charged with being exposed to moral danger and you're put in a place like this, the government gives you a carer and they put you in a place that you are exposed to moral danger.
By the superintendent, the deputy superintendent and the matron.
I was never physically hit but a lot of the girls were but I was sexually molested for years and that was tragic.
FORMER STUDENT 3: There were all sinks here and Mr (bleep) came down and just grabbed my hair at the back and whacked my head into every sink that went along.
The teeth I've got in today are the teeth I've got in here, I had all my teeth knocked out.
He was just cruel.
You know.
He just got off on doing what they did.
I had a violent father and a chronically ill mother that I just wanted to get away from.
And that's all.
DAUGHTER OF FORMER STUDENT: I've never really been able to sort of cope with hearing some of the things mum's told me.
So I normally just close off to it and sort of don't let her speak or just it's just too difficult to imagine.
So it's good for me to come here because I can understand and just see where mum came from and what she went through and just understand her a little more.
But it's pretty shocking.
FORMER STUDENT 5: In '62 to '67 me and Irene were here.
I did 4.5 years, four terms.
Because I was a state ward, I didn't have a mum and dad.
FORMER STUDENT 6: I broke into the tuckshop because my mother and father split up and I had nothing to eat.
I never damaged the school, I never done anything to the school.
All I done was feed myself.
I never hurt hurt anybody, only myself.
SHARON O'NEILL: On the other side of the shower block, another set of stairs leads to a place they called the dungeon.
FORMER STUDENT 6: There's nothing.
in there It's just dark.
And I spent 48 hours in there.
SHARON O'NEILL: How old were you at the time?
When I first came here , I don't know, I think at the start I thought I was SAFE because I was a molested child all my life.
But the cruelty here, it was just a continuation of my whole life, sort of thing, you know.
SHARON O'NEILL: As well as the dungeon, girls were punished by being segregated in separate isolation cells.
The cells are long gone.
But not so the memories.
FORMER STUDENT 7: I came today -- I wanted to go and visit the cells.
I wanted to look.
But it's just a big pile of rubbish and that tells me that my life was rubbish too.
The superintendent would come in and I was trying to sleep, I had to sleep on a mattress with no blankets, the light was on all the time and he would come in and forcefully rape me.
There was three different men, male superintendents, at a time on duty, not at the same time, they would take turns about one night after the next night.
Someone's got to be accountable for it.
The department's got to be accountable for it.
I want answers, that's what I want.
SHARON O'NEILL: Over many years in this place, the girls who were deemed by the courts to be uncontrollable were educated mainly in domestic duties.
They washed the clothes.
And mended them.
But even the plush jobs had their drawbacks.
FORMER STUDENT 8: They put me on staff once and I didn't like it because I didn't like being nice to the officers that were bitches and mongrels to you, serving them their meals.
I didn't like doing that.
You were being nice to someone who punched you about basically, that's the way I thought of it and I still do actually.
I don't remember anybody ever making a complaint.
They all knew you got bashed, you know.
They all knew that things were happening but none of them ever done anything.
SHARON O'NEILL: As teenagers these girls were never allowed to ask why they were treated in such a harsh manner.
But today it's the one question they want answered.
FORMER STUDENT 9: We were never asked why we ran away from home and they kept sending us back.
And what they sent us back to was sometimes worse than here and we were never, ever, ever asked.
I'm sorry.
SHARON O'NEILL: If the aim of the girls' training school was to provide a place for girls to be protected and educated, it failed.
FORMER STUDENT 10: We were never sat in a classroom.
We were never offered an education.
When released we weren't offered an alternative, we were sent back to the abusive place we come from and just to end up back here again.
FORMER STUDENT 11: After four years here I was given $16, a pat on the back and told to go and become a good citizen.
Four years in here I was taught nothing.
FORMER STUDENT 12: I'm hurt today when I think back to what I endured as a child which is every child's nightmare -- to be loved and to be nurtured and all we were given was nightmares.
You're nothing.
You're a number.
To know what I've endured myself and to see people who have endured it and survived and look as well as they do, because when you were here they stripped you of every possible human dignity that you could have.
FORMER STUDENT 7: I went to jail not long after I left Parramatta at 18.
5.5 months actually and I couldn't believe the difference.
I could do time standing on my head because there you were an adult and you were given dignity and privacy.
It was just such a shock.
SHARON O'NEILL: For the organisers of this reunion, coming back had been a much-needed part of the healing process.
FORMER STUDENT 12: It's been a lot harder to get in here this time than when we were young, I can assure you.
Coming back here is part of healing.
I need to be healed more.
SHARON O'NEILL: But as well as the pain, for these women there is also the joy of catching up with old friends.
And taking home a souvenir of the day.
And an opportunity to tell the world that the Parramatta girls didn't deserve the reputation they were given.
FORMER STUDENT 13: I don't believe that there were any girls in here that were bad.
I really don't.
Mischievous, having a lot of, um, cheekiness in them, but not bad.
FORMER STUDENT 13: No-one else understands an ex-Parramatta girl like another Parramatta girl.
So that's been a really -- a healing process today.
And I'm really proud of the girls.
It went beautifully, I think.
SHARON O'NEILL: So how long is it since you two have stood together under the coverway?
FORMER STUDENT 13: 43 years.
FORMER STUDENT 14: 43 years!
My God!
FORMER STUDENT 13: If we got down to scrub it now we'd never get up!
FORMER STUDENT 14: Yeah, we're past it now, baby.

Kerasal Exfoliating Pumice Paste Reviews
Works Like a Beach Vacation!The reason this pumice works so powerfully and well is that it is mainly sand with some moisturizers and binders to hold it together. When my skin gets very dry, I use it on my hands, elbows, knees, and feet up to twice daily and follow with a good moisturizing lotion. The same results can be achieved with a week at the shore, but this is less expensive. — 3 years, 9 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Maya Angelou's six volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a Black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement, and celebration.
In this first volume of her six books of autobiography, Maya Angelou beautifully evokes her childhood with her grandmother in the American south of the 1930s. She learns the power of the white folks at the other end of town and suffers the terrible trauma of rape by her mother's lover.
"I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it's like to be a human being. This is how we are, what makes us laugh, and this is how we fall and how we somehow, amazingly, stand up again." (Maya Angelou)
©1969 Maya Angelou (renewed 1997) (P)2011 Random House Inc
"Such perfect diction and attention to detail"
Having read Maya's books myself thirty years ago, it was one of the first audiobooks I bought to listen to on my iPad ,now in my seventies, and I have been delighted to listen to Maya's perfect diction and wonderful attention to the details of The English language , a rare treat these days of sloppy Americanisms and ubiquitous estuarine accent. Her accent and diction immediately add local colour to her story of hardship growing up as a negro child in the Deep South of early twentieth century America in the time of segregation and the Great Depression.
"Absolutely amazing"
This was a fantastic listen , read by the author . Full of wisdom and beautiful writing . I shall listen to it again for sure .
Some wonderful quotes to meditate upon . The book really picks up pace in the second half .
Inspiring . Absolutely amazing .
"My favourite book"
I've loved this (the first book in maya angelous autobiography) since childhood. So, I purchased this from audible to listen and experience the story over again. It is narrated by Maya Angelou and very enjoyable. The story is deep and rich. A must read.
"Maya Angelou is a gifted writer and narrator"
honest, intelligent, wry and full of humanity. she teaches you how to be a more understanding person and how deep racial segregation developed in modern society. I know already that I am going to hunt down everything she has ever written.
Maya takes you through her experience slowly and effectively, it makes one feel that Maya is presently holding his hand and physically showing you how things went.
"Such a Fascinating Story!"
I only found out about this book from my mother after Maya Angelou's death. Well, what can I say- it has left me speechless. The book is inspiring and shows how determination can take you far against all odds. Highly recommended read.
"A first class read"
I was aware of the works of Maya Angelou but this was my introduction to the lady herself
Well versed and at times funny innocent and frightening this is a insight to the wrongs done by man upon his fellow man and how the singular individual can overcome such adversity
I would highly recommend this title to anyone who
This is an inspiring read which is enhanced by the almost perfect way that the Author herself articulates her own words.
"Excellent chance to read this autobiography!!"
Not this one but other books of Maya Angelou's, yes :)
Marguerite/Maya, coz she's an inspiration!
All but it was a real eye opener 're segregation in the South, only Vanilla ice cream allowed on Fourth July to black people , really!!! :(
Will read more of her .
"Amazing journey with Maya"
Beautifully written memoir, amazing language. You feel that you are in the era with Maya standing by watching everything.

"Make A Splash! clearly illustrates how various water issues affect people, animals, and the environment while providing young people practical ways to improve their local water sources. Full of great stories, facts, and tools, Make A Splash! is an excellent resource to help youth plan water-focused service learning adventures in their own backyards."—Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, a program of the Jane Goodall Institute
Written in an informal, almost chatty style, this readable narrative provides a solid base of scientific information and flows from one topic to the next smoothly and logically. Interesting facts are highlighted in text boxes of different shapes and colors, and questions are asked and answered throughout. The author uses italics to accentuate important information, e.g., "…nearly two-thirds of all the fish and shellfish we eat once lived in estuaries." Terms, with pronunciation guides, are defined in context. Full-color photographs and drawings as well as line drawings (think coloring books) illustrate every page. Good ideas for water conservation from second graders at a Texas elementary school are sprinkled throughout in droplet-shaped boxes. Boys and girls from around the world are featured, and a lot of doable activities are suggested for individuals and groups. Jam-packed with readily accessible information and ideas, this is an engaging addition to science and environmental collections.—School Library Journal
"The first time a child sees an ocean or a great river, magic happens. Make A Splash! reaches for the hearts of all young people who love wild water, and who want to do something to keep it pure and everlasting."—Carl Hiaasen, author of Chomp
"A comprehensive, entertaining primer that focuses equally on water conservation and on how children learn and can act on their knowledge and interests. Former teacher Kaye provides a multitude of conservation approaches, including a series of 'Kids in Action' profiles that will encourage young readers to tackle and accomplish valuable community service projects."— ForeWord Reviews
Similar to Kaye and Cousteau's Going Blue (2010) in its approach, this large-format paperback targets a younger audience. Clearly reproduced on glossy pages, eye-catching colorful photos and digital drawings illustrate many aspects of water on Earth, while the text provides information and tells stories of children in elementary schools around the world who have translated their own environmental concerns into action. The presentation jumps from topic to topic, and potentially unfamiliar terms such as estuary are discussed but not always clearly defined. However, while more traditionally informative books often end with tepid lists of tips on water conservation, this one infuses every chapter with inspiration and gives dozens of examples in which kids are agents of change in their communities. Creating an energizing, upbeat tone, the writers don't plead for help; they ask, "Which kind of action will you choose?"— Booklist
"This excellent book not only gives readers interesting information that is presented in a clever and engaging way, but it also empowers children by showing them that there are lots of things that they can do to save the world's water." —Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review
"Fun and motivational! Kids will love learning about our important, fragile, and challenged water planet. Make a Splash! will inspire them to do what they can to protect, restore, and advocate for all natural systems that support life." —Laura Turner Seydel, Captain Planet Foundation
"An inspiring and kid-friendly introduction to the challenges facing our oceans and waterways, Make a Splash! gives kids all the tools they need to become champions for the environment and really make a difference. A great resource for anyone who wants to protect our waters—and have fun doing it." —Greg MacGillivray, IMAX Producer/Director, MacGillivray Freeman Films and Founder of One World One Ocean


text: More evidence that mosquitoes have been assholes for millions of yearsGeorge Dvorsky10/15/13 11:00amFiled to: paleontologymosquitosfossilsbloodancient bloodsciencebiology808EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Contrary to what's been portrayed in Hollywood films, scientists have never actually been able to recover traces of blood from a preserved insect. This incredible fossil of a 46 million-year-old engorged mosquito has now changed that. But don't get your hopes up about resurrecting extinct species. Advertisement Unlike Jurassic Park, this mosquito wasn't trapped in amber. Rather it was discovered in oil shale in northwestern Montana. When it died, it quickly fell into fine anaerobic sediment, allowing for this pristine preservation.Also unlike Jurassic Park, this mosquito was alive after the age of the dinosaurs, some 19 million years after the end of the Cretaceous — an era paleontologists refer to as the Eocene.Also also, unlike Jurassic Park, scientists know that DNA molecules are too complex and fragile to survive fossilization. DNA also has a very short shelf life. So you can put your cloning kits away. The Last Blood Meal But that doesn't mean other large molecules, like those big enough to indicate the presence of blood, can't survive fossilization. Advertisement Advertisement Indeed, after taking a closer look at this particular fossil, a team of paleontologists led by Dale Greenwalt decided to run some tests on what looked like blood inside its abdomen. Their first scan revealed high levels of iron ions — a mineral associated with blood.Then, after performing mass spectroscopy on the sample to get a more precise sense of its chemical makeup, the team found organic compounds that indicated the presence of a substance called heme, a molecule that allows hemoglobin in blood to carry oxygen. It's the same compound that gives blood its red color.The paleontologists say it's "incontrovertible evidence" of heme, and by consequence, hemoglobin in the mosquito.So, while we can't use these traces of blood to clone an extinct species, the discovery does tell us a bit about the behavior of mosquitoes that lived 46 million year ago — and it doesn't appear that these bastards have changed very much.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chrissy574 Love this laundry bag! Laundry bag is very durable and the colors don't fade. May 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pdb13 Cute Pattern! I bought two of this bag to add a little whimsy to sorting laundry. I paired them with two mesh bags. The bags help me sort my laundry as I use the clothes instead of sorting from one overstuffed hamper. March 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rmgast Great laundry bag Bought this laundry bag and the matching hamper. It is a good size so it can fit a lot of clothes. Got it for my daughter who is a college student with somewhat limited space. I believe she is using this to carry her dirty clothes to the washer and then use the hamper to put the folded clean clothes in. August 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LizaNC Cute + Useful This laundry-style laundry bag is just enough. It's fashionable (a conversation piece too) while useful. Great for separating the dirty clothes of 2 people on an overnight or a family for a long weekend. Great gift too - everyone could use a cute laundry bag! April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by info1039 Travel This cute design makes bringing home vacation laundry a little less painful. Helps keep the vacation location a lot nicer, too. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by reviewer28 Great for traveling We always bring this along with us on weekend trips. It's so nice to keep everything separate. It folds up easily and washes up well too! Plus, I love the print! March 24, 2012

Though the the first taste of Spring weather is usually a joyous time for the winter-weary, there are many who -- surprisingly -- feel downright lousy. The culprit? Allergies.
The source of all this trouble, ABC News reports, is a "pollen explosion like most of the country has never seen." Spring's late arrival, combined with record breaking warm temperatures, is causing "all the different trees, flowers and grasses to share their love at the same time."
Heavy rains in the North and Southeast in the past three months have contributed to a "reproduction explosion with the pollen," according to Atlanta botanist Amanda Campbell.
For those who suffer from allergy problems, experts recommend avoiding being outside between 5 and 10 a.m., the time when the most pollen is produced. Changing clothes once inside is also recommended, as is washing the hair before going to bed.
