1 Clean Water for a Healthy World On World Water Day, we reaf irm that clean water is life, and our lives depend on how we protect the quality of our water. Water Quality: Healthy People, Healthy Ecosystems Water is the basis of life on earth. The quality of life directly depends on water quality. Good water quality sustains healthy ecosystems and hence leads to improved human well-being. However, poor water quality affects the environment and human well-being. For example waterborne diseases cause the death of more than 1.5 million children each year. The quality of water resources is increasingly threatened by pollution. Human activity over the past 50 years is responsible for unprecedented pollution of water resources in history. It is estimated that over 2.5 billion people globally live without adequate sanitation. Every day, 2 million tons of sewage and other ef luents drain into the world s waters. The problem is worse in developing countries where over 90% of raw sewage and 70% of untreated industrial wastes are dumped into surface waters. continued overleaf
2 Many of the water pollutants have long-term negative impacts on water quality, constituting a risk to human health. As a result fresh water is severely reduced. Also, the ability of ecosystems to provide services is drastically reduced, at times with irreversible effects. Consequently the environment is degraded through decreased productivity of biomass, loss of biodiversity and vulnerability to other stresses. It is far cheaper to protect water resources than to clean up after pollution. Protection and maintenance of aquatic environments ensures the sustainability of their ecosystem services i.e. bene its such as potable water, isheries, recreation and tourism. For instance fully-functioning natural wetlands ilter off nutrients and toxic substances from water. Increased funding is required to protect ecosystems and prevent water pollution. Funding should support, and be complemented with, concerted well targeted awareness raising initiatives on water quality issues. Water quality is key to human and ecosystem health, and there are numerous add-on bene its to improving water quality: improved ecosystems and ecosystem services, improved health, and improved livelihoods Enhancing effects of biodiversity on water quality The quality of the water originating in the watersheds of the Catskill Mountains that feeds into the water supply of New York city was declining in the 1980s due to agriculture and other development in the watersheds. Instead of building a massive water treatment facility to provide water for the over 9 Mio users at a cost of US$ 4-6 billion, an integrated water resources management approach was adopted at a cost of US$ 1 billion. The water quality problems in the upstream areas were addressed through protecting the watersheds by introducing incentive schemes for the bene it of land owners in exchange for reducing pollution. Similar challenges were faced at the Parana River in Brazil which supplies drinking water to the city of Sao Paulo. The river s water quality declined as a result of intensive deforestation at its headwaters causing the rainwater to wash the soil away and building up sediment that affected the quality of the river s water. A programme was developed with the help of the Nature Conservancy to motivate farmers and ranchers to plant trees in riparian areas in the river s headwaters as well as to provide technical assistance on reforestation, soil conservation and erosion prevention.

3 Water Quality in a Changing World Impacts of climate change such as frequent/ prolonged loods and droughts- pose further challenges to water quality; in addition to the growing sources of pollution. Increased human population as well as the changing production and consumption patterns have seen an upsurge of industrial processes, mining, agriculture, and urbanization with the resultant release of heavy metals, radioactive elements, organic toxins, and discarded pharmaceuticals into the environment. For instance prolonged droughts especially in fragile ecosystems such as arid and semi-arid regions reduce the ability of ecosystems to dilute polluted water to maintain the balance of natural functions. In coastal areas, ecosystems such as mangroves, sea-grass beds, and coral reefs are disappearing at an alarming rate due to water pollution. The affected ecosystems cannot cope with additional stress such as caused by climate change. Their ability to serve as breeding and nursery grounds, storm protectors, and blue carbon sinks is thus further reduced. In some regions, more than 50 percent of native freshwater ish species are at risk of extinction which is expected to be compounded by the impacts of climate change. Climate change and new contaminants additionally threaten water quality and human and ecosystem health. As population increases, the rate of rural-urban migration grows. It is estimated that 6.4 billion people will be living in urban areas by 2050, up from 3.4 billion in This rapid growth, if not adequately dealt with through proactive planning and inancing, poses a further challenge to water quality. Inadequate infrastructure as well as poor maintenance of existing ones leads to problems in the management of municipal waste as well as the treatment and discharge of sewage. How much water we have is tied to how clean or polluted our water is. Preventing water contamination is typically cheaper than cleaning up water after contamination.

Water use advisories Public private partnership Water Quality Pays Water quality and socioeconomic issues such as poverty, livelihoods, health, and equality are closely linked. Providing and maintaining safe drinking water and sanitation are central to alleviating poverty and improving the quality of life for billions of people. Committed to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the international community is still far from achieving the MDG target of reducing by half the number of people without access to safe water and sanitation by Despite the progress made towards achieving this goal, large parts of the human population still remain unreached. 1.1 billion people around the world still lack access to improved water supply and more than 2.6 billion lack access to improved sanitation, with greatest challenges to progress remaining in sub-saharan Africa. Unreached Population People (Billions) Total World Population 6.7 billion 16% 1.1 Billion have no access to improved water supply Total World Population 6.7 billion 32% 2.6 Billion have no access to improved sanitation Although it is estimated that more than 90% of the global population will use improved drinking water sources by 2015, huge efforts are required to meet the sanitation target of the Millennium Development Goals. For instance, over 16 years (between 1990 and 2006) the proportion of people without improved sanitation decreased by only 8 %. Taking into account population growth an estimated 2.4 billion people will be without basic sanitation by To achieve the Millennium Development Goal target, the world needs to provide access to improved sanitation to 173 million people per year at annual cost of USD 11.3 billion. This cost is a small price to pay for the millions of lives saved, the improved quality of life and health, and the accruing bene its. continued overleaf
5 Investment in safe water supply and access to improved sanitation has multiple economic returns. For every 1 US Dollar invested, there is a projected USD 3-34 bene it gained. The bene its range from time savings and productivity gains, to budget savings on national health-care. Per capita gains for the developing world population could reach at least USD 15 per capita per year. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that achieving the Millennium Development Goal for access to safe water and sanitation would have an economic bene it of USD 84.4 billion per year. To make this happen, it is critical that countries develop sustainable water management policies and practices that address water-quality challenges. Measures should include systematic monitoring of water bodies as this is an indicator of the effectiveness of protecting human health and achieving safe sanitation. Clean water is an essential ingredient to economic growth and development and investing in water and sanitation has high economic and social returns. Relevance of water quality for achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015 MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Target 1: Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources Target 2: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by 2010, a signi icant reduction in the rate of loss Target 3: Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation Target 4: By 2020, to have achieved a signi icant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers MDG 4: Reduce child mortality Target 1: Reduce by two thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under- ive mortality rate MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases Target 3: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases Water quality impacts every one of us, and our lifestyles impact the quality of our water.
6 Protecting Water Quality: A shared responsibility for the common bene it We all live downstream and therefore protecting water sources from pollution is everyone s responsibility. It can not be left to public authorities alone. All sectors, public and private, must take appropriate and adequate action to prevent pollution. It demands the open engagement of all stakeholders, from individuals and local communities to international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and civil society. Action should be differentiated according to the type of water use and the actors i.e. whether as an individual person or as a corporate body. There is an urgent need to step up research, monitoring and assessment of water quality at global, regional, and local levels; taking an integrated approach using the basin as a management unit. Scienti ic indings from research should inform sound policy formation and implementation. Furthermore suf iciently funded and manned regulatory functions are required to ensure compliance with and enforcement of rules and regulations. Clean water is life. We already have the know-how and skills to address it. Let us now have the will. Human life and prosperity rest on our actions today to be the stewards, not polluters, of this most precious resource our clean water. Joint efforts for protecting water quality for the common bene it The water resources of the Senegal River in West Africa originate from and low through four countries: Guinea, Mali, Mauretania, and Senegal. Since these countries share the same concern that is to manage water quantity and quality in a sustainable manner, the Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du leuve Senegal (OMVS) was created in OMVS provides information on the state of the resource and its associated ecosystem, as well as functions as a key institution where parties agree on future projects, on the provision of usage guarantees and on sectoral priorities. (Source: Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity Drinking Water, Biodiversity and Poverty Reduction: A Good Practice Guide.(in press)) The European Union s Directive on Urban Wastewater Treatment aims at protecting the environment from the adverse effects of urban waste water discharges and discharges from certain industrial sectors and concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of domestic waste water, mixture of waste water, and waste water from certain industrial sectors. In speci ic, the directive prescribes the level of treatment required before discharge. So, for agglomerations of more than 2,000 people, collection and treatment of waste water must be provided, while secondary treatment of all discharges for agglomerations of more than 2,000 people and more advanced treatment for agglomerations of more than 10,000 people must be provided. Pre-authorisation of all discharges of urban wastewater, of discharges from the food-processing industry and of industrial discharges into urban wastewater collection systems is required. Performance of treatment plants and receiving waters need to be monitored, and sewage sludge disposal and re-use, and treated waste water re-use whenever it is appropriate to be controlled.

Prince's Complete Game Leads Softball to DH Sweep over FAU
Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score | Game 1 Photo Gallery | Game 2 Photo Gallery
Season Stats (PDF)
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- University of Kentucky sophomore pitcher Meagan Prince tossed a complete-game with five strikeouts and only one earned run allowed in game one, while the UK offense scored seven runs in the day's second game, lifting the No. 13 Wildcats to a doubleheader sweep over Florida Atlantic on Monday at John Cropp Stadium.
Kentucky (26-11) won the first game of the twin bill, 3-1, before a 7-1 victory in the second game to complete the sweep. The wins over FAU (26-14-1), who has been receiving votes in the national rankings a majority of the season and rank 38th nationally in the NCAA RPI, moved Kentucky's home record to 10-3 this season. The Wildcats are 7-0 in non-conference home games and will look to continue that Wednesday when they play host to Marshall at 6 p.m. ET at John Cropp Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on the SEC Network+ with Dave "Buzz" Baker and former UK great Ginny Carroll calling the action.
Prince was the star for Kentucky in the first game, tossing a complete game with only one earned run allowed. The native of Martin, Tenn., struck out five FAU hitters in the game and allowed only five hits to improve her record to 11-4 on the season with a 2.86 earned run average. The outing continues an impressive run for Prince over the last nine games. Since having her worst outing of the year in late March at Auburn, Prince has earned a win in each of her last three appearances, tossing 16.2 innings during that stretch with only two earned runs allowed and 15 strikeouts, limiting opponents to a .172 average.
Junior infielder Nikki Sagermann was impressive at the plate in game one, going 3-for-4 with three singles, while junior shortstop Christian Stokes was 2-for-4 with a run scored and sophomore outfielder Breanne Ray was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Junior outfielder Darington Richardson got a single in her first at-bat of the game and stole second, while senior outfielder Kara Howard went 1-for-3 with a double.
FAU started sophomore Amanda Wilson in the circle, who went four innings with three runs allowed -- none earned -- on eight hits with one strikeout. She was replaced by fellow sophomore Kylee Hanson, who tossed the final two innings with three strikeouts and one hit allowed. Wilson received the loss, moving to 6-3 on the season.
The Kentucky offense posted seven runs on seven hits in the second game, getting a 1-for-1 game from junior Maisie Steed, who walked three times and had a two-run double. Fellow junior Ansley Smith went 2-for-3 in the game with two RBI, while junior outfielder Sylver Samuel was 1-for-3 with a run scored and RBI and Howard was 1-for-3 with a run scored. Sagermann was 1-for-2 with two runs scored, while Stokes had an RBI on a sacrifice fly and Ray had a hit.
The UK pitching staff was also impressive in the second game with sophomore Shannon Smith starting in the circle with three hits spread throughout 3.2 innings with one earned run allowed and two strikeouts. Rethlake came on to get the final out of the fourth inning and tossed 2.1 innings to get the win with one hit allowed and one walk, moving to 4-0 on the season. Junior Kelsey Nunley tossed the final inning of the game, allowing a hit and a walk.
FAU started Hanson in the second game, who went one inning and allowed one hit before being replaced by Samantha Messer, who tossed 4.1 innings with seven earned runs allowed on five hits with five strikeouts. Tatum Buckley recorded the final two outs with one hit and one strikeout.

It's the halfway point of the 2008-09 NBA season and in true school-like fashion, CBCSports.ca hands out its report card on the Toronto Raptors so far.
Jose Calderon (41 GP, 13.1 PPG, 8.5 APG, 3.2 RPG) B-
Health is the key. When Calderon is playing, he is effective, efficient, and smart. He's even starting to throw a few dangerous passes. But so far, Calderon has had issues staying on the court. Couple that with his inability to play defence and refusal to get into the paint, means Jose has been a bit of a disappointment.
Anthony Parker (53 GP, 10.3 PPG, 3.3 APG, 3.7 RPG) B
It's the same story every year. Parker starts out slow and everybody wants him out of Toronto. Gradually, throughout the season, he picks up his game and all of a sudden, he's a valuable commodity. Add to the fact that he'll start playing with a legit swingman for the first time in his career and Parker is looking at three straight solid years in the NBA.
Chris Bosh (51 GP, 22.7 PPG, 2.4 APG, 9.5 RPG) A-
The franchise, an all-star, and the focal point of the team's offence - you can't really say enough about Chris Bosh. But the criticism that seems to follow him, year after year, is his patchy defensive effort and inability to make others around him better. Hard to criticize Bosh, when the talent that surrounds him is average at best.
Andrea Bargnani (55 GP, 13.8 PPG, 1.0 APG, 5.3 RPG) C+
Oh Andrea Bargnani, how you tantalize and frustrate us at the same time. After a month of solid, turn-the-corner basketball, Andrea is back to his poor shooting ways. His defence might be some of the best on the team and Bargnani is actually starting to box out.
Roko Ukic (45 GP, 4.6 PPG, 1.8 APG, 1.1 RPG) B-
Why they even bothered playing Solomon over Ukic is beyond me. Ukic gets in the paint, creates shots for others, and is turning into a pesky defender. His decision making has been shaky at times, which is a common plague of a rookie guard. All he needs is time and a jump shot and he'll be a solid backup/fringe starter in the NBA.
Jason Kapono (53 GP, 8.2 PPG, 1.6 APG, 2.0 RPG) D
All Kapono needs to do is shoot. Don't dribble, don't pump fake, just shoot. He still hasn't figured that out. He might also be the worst defender that has ever donned a Raptor uniform. Beyond that, he could still be a valuable bench scorer ... could be.
Joey Graham (52 GP, 7.7 PPG, 0.7 APG, 3.7 RPG) B-
Joey Graham is no longer haunted by Sam Mitchell, now he seems infused with confidence. But amongst the common thread of Raptor players, the key is consistency. Perhaps his recent post-up game could develop Graham into a Corliss Williamson-esque player.
Jake Voskuhl (23 GP, 1.0 PPG, 0.2 APG, 1.6 RPG) C
Gotta love Jake Voskuhl. Toughness, rebounding, and the odd injured player. He still isn't very good, but that doesn't matter.
Will Solomon (39 GP, 4.9 PPG, 3.2 APG, 1.1 RPG) D+
It's a tough balance for Will Solomon. He's a natural scorer, but not that capable in the NBA. At the end of the day, turnovers and bad decision making are Solomon's downfall.
Kris Humphries (29 GP, 3.9 PPG, 0.3 APG, 2.4 RPG) D
Rebound and putbacks, rebound and putbacks. The fadeaways and one-on-one moves are too complicated for his limited offensive skill-set. If Humphries could accept his role, he'd play 20 minutes a night.
Jamario Moon (traded) (54 GP, 7.3 PPG, 1.3 APG, 4.6 RPG) C+
A very solid player. He hit his jumpers and played adequate defence. But in the end, he wasn't pesky enough. Moon didn't play close enough to the rim and wasn't disruptive enough on the defensive end.
Jermaine O'Neal (traded) (41 GP, 13.5 PPG, 1.6 APG, 7.0 RPG) B
A defensive presence, but an inefficient offence force. Perhaps in his short stay as a Raptor, he infused some players with attitude and toughness. O'Neal's heart was definitely not lacking.
Marcus Banks (16 GP, 2.6 PPG, 1.4 APG, 0.9 RPG) N/A
Forgotten in Miami, Banks could provide a nice change of pace to Calderon. A defensive-minded point guard with little offensive skill, he'll battle Ukic for playing time in the second half of the season. But he was benched for a reason, so don't get your hopes up.
Shawn Marion (42 GP, 12.0 PPG, 1.8 APG, 8.7 RPG) N/A
Some say if you get the best player in the trade, you win the transaction. Marion automatically becomes the Raptors best defender, best rebounder, and most athletic player. The increase of basketball IQ from Moon to Marion will make a substantial difference.

Nenets people

| Russian Orthodox, Shamanism

Related ethnic groups	 other Samoyedic peoples
The Nenets people (Russian name: Ненцы - IPA: [nʲɛntsɨ](plural)) are an indigenous people in Russia. According to the latest census in 2002, there are 41,302 Nenets in the Russian Federation. They speak the Nenets language.
Sometimes the name is spelled as Nenet, probably because of the erroneous assumption that the terminal 's' is for the plural number.
The term "Samoyedic peoples" applies to the whole group of different peoples. It is the general term which includes Nenets, Enets people, Selkup people and Nganasan people. Nenets are just a part of the Samoyedic peoples.
There are two distinct groups based on their economy: the Tundra Nenets (living far to the north) and the Khandeyar or Forest Nenets. The third group Kominized Nenets (Yaran people) has emerged as a result of intermarriages between Nenets and the Izhma tribe of the Komi peoples. Some believe that they split apart from the Finno-Ugric speaking groups around 3000 BCE and migrated east where they mixed with Turkic and Altaic speaking peoples around 200 BCE. Those who remained in Europe came under Russian control around 1200 CE but those who lived further east did not come in contact until 14th century. In the early 17th century, all Nenets were under Russian control. The Samoyedic languages form a minor branch of the Uralic language family, the major branch being the Finno-Ugric languages. It is of major importance for the basic comparison between the Uralic and Finno-Ugric languages. Another consideration is that they moved (probably from farther south in Siberia) to the northernmost part of what later became Russia before the 12th century.
They ended up between the Kanin and Taymyr peninsulas, around the Ob and Yenisey rivers, with some of them settling into small communities and taking up farming, while others continued hunting and reindeer herding, travelling great distances over the Kanin peninsula. They bred the Samoyed dog to help herd their reindeer and pull their sleds, and European explorers later used those dogs for polar expeditions, because they have adapted so well to the arctic conditions. Fish was also a major component of their diet.
They had a shamanistic and animistic belief system which stressed respect for the land and its resources. They had a clan-based social structure. The Nenets shaman is called a Tadibya.
In Russian ethnographic literature of 19th century the Nenets were also called "Самоядь", "Самодь", (samoyad', samod', samodijtsy, samodijskie narody) which was often transliterated into English as Samodi. The name Samoyed quickly went out of usage in the 20th century, and the people now bear the name of Nenets, which means "man" in the Nenets language. When reading old Russian documents it is necessary to keep in mind that the term samoyed' was often applied indiscriminately to different peoples of Northern Siberia who speak different Uralic languages: Nenets, Nganasans, Enets, Selkups (speakers of Samoyedic languages).
After the Russian Revolution, their culture suffered due to Soviet collectivisation policy. The government of the Soviet Union tried to force the nomad Samoyeds to settle down, and most of them became assimilated. They were forced to settle on permanent farms and their children were educated in state boarding schools, leading to an erosion of their cultural heritage. Environmental damage due to the industrialisation of their land and overgrazing of the tundra migration routes in some regions (Yamal Peninsula) have further endangered their way of life.
[edit] Samoyedes of Imperial Russia
The section is based on the text from 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
The people may be subdivided into three main groups:
(a) The Yuraks in the coast-region from the Yenisei to the White Sea; (b) the Tavghi Samoyedes, between the Yenisei and the Khatanga; (c) the Ostiak Samoyedes, intermingled with Ostiaks, to the south of the others, in the forest regions of Tobolsk and Yeniseisk. Their whole number may be estimated at from 20,000 to 25,000. The so-called Samoyedes inhabiting the S of the governments of Tomsk and Yeniseisk have been much under Tatar influence and appear to be of a different stock; their sub-groups are the Kamasin Tatars, the Kaibals, the Mators (aka "Motors"), the Beltirs, the Karagasses and the Samoyedes of the middle Ob.
The proper place of the Samoyedes among the Ural-Altaians is very difficult to determine. The names assumed by the Samoyedes themselves are Hazovo and Nyanyäz (Nenets). The Ostiaks know them under the names of Orghoy, or Workho, both of which recall the Ugrians; the name of Hui is also in use among the Ostiaks (Khants), and that of Yaron among the Syrgenians.
It is probable that formerly the Samoyedes occupied the Altay Mountains, whence they were driven north by Turco-Tatars. Thus, the Kaibals left the Sayan mountains and took possession of the Abakan steppe (Minusinsk region), abandoned by the Kirghizes, in the earlier years of last century, and in northeast Russia the Zyrians (Komi peoples) are still driving the Samoyedes farther north, towards the Arctic coast. Since the researches of Schrenk it may be regarded as settled that in historical times the Samoyedes were inhabitants of the so-called Ugria in the northern Urals, while Radlov considers that the numberless graves containing remains of the Bronze Age which are scattered throughout West Siberia, on the Altay, and on the Yenisei in the Minusinsk region, are relics of Ugro-Samoyedes. According to his views this nation, very numerous at that epoch - which preceded the Iron Age civilization of the Turco-Tatars, - were pretty well acquainted with mining; the remains of their mines, sometimes 50 ft. deep, and of the furnaces where they melted copper, tin and gold, are very numerous; their weapons of a hard bronze, their pots (one of which weighs 75 lb), and their melted and polished bronze and golden decorations testify to a high development of artistic feeling and industrial skill, strangely contrasting with the low level reached by their earthenware. They were not nomads, but husbandmen, and their irrigation canals are still to be seen. They kept horses (in small numbers), sheep and goats, but no traces of their rearing horned cattle have yet been found. The Turkish invasion of southern Siberia, which took place in the 5th century, drove them farther north, and probably reduced most of them to slavery.
The Samoyedes, who now maintain themselves by hunting and fishing on the lower Ob, partly mixed in the south with Ostiaks (Khants), recall the condition of the inhabitants of France and Germany at the epoch of the reindeer. Clothed in skins, like the troglodytes of the Weser, they make use of the same implements in bone and stone, eat carnivorous animals - the wolf included - and cherish the same superstitions (of which those regarding the teeth of the bear are perhaps the most characteristic) as were current among the Stone Age inhabitants of western Europe. Their heaps of reindeer horns and skulls - memorials of religious ceremonies - are exactly similar to those dating from the similar period of civilization in northern Germany. Their huts often resemble the well-known stone huts of the Eskimo; their graves are mere boxes left in the tundra. The religion is fetishism mixed with Shamanism, the shaman (tadji-bei) being a representative of the great divinity, the Num. The Yamal Peninsula, where they find great facilities for hunting, is especially venerated by the Ob Ostiak Samoyedes, and there they have one of their chief idols, Khese. They are more independent than the Ostiaks, less yielding in character, although as hospitable as their neighbours. They are said to be disappearing owing to the use of ardent spirits and the prevalence of smallpox. They still maintain the high standard of honesty mentioned by historical documents, and never will take anything left in the tundra or about the houses by their neighbours. The Yurak Samoyedes are courageous and warlike; they offered armed resistance to the Russian invaders, and it is only since the beginning of the century that they have paid tribute. The exact number of the Ostiak Samoyedes is not known; the Tavghi Samoyedes may number about 1000, and the Yuraks, mixed with the former, are estimated at 6000 in Obdorsk (about 150 settled), 5000 in European Russia in the tundras of the Mezefl, and about 350 in Yeniseisk.
Of the Samoyedes, who are completely Tatarized, the Beltirs live by agriculture and cattle-breeding in the Abakan steppe. They profess Christianity, and speak a language closely resembling that of the Sagai Tatars. The Kaibals, or Koibals, can hardly be distinguished from the Minusinsk Tatars, and support themselves by rearing cattle. Castrén considers that three of their stems are of Ostiak origin, the remainder being Samoyedic. The Kamasins, in the Kama district of Yeniseisk, are either herdsmen or agriculturists. They speak a language with an admixture of Tatar words, and some of their stems contain a large Tatar clement. The interesting nomadic tribe of Karagasses, in the Sayan Mountains, is disappearing; the few representatives are rapidly losing their anthropological features, their Turkish language and their distinctive dress. The Mators are now little more than a memory. One portion of the tribe emigrated to China and was there exterminated [citation needed]; the remainder have disappeared among the Tuba Tatars and the Soyotes. The Samoyedes on the Ob in Tomsk may number about 1000; they have adopted the Russian manner of life, but have difficulty in carrying on agriculture, and are a poverty-stricken population with little prospect of holding their own.

Anne Marie Tiernon's Olympics blog: Laundry day
Okay here it is, one thing I really don't like about the Olympic assignment: the laundry process.
The good news is there is a service, and the bill is eventually picked up by WTHR. That's great news actually.
But the process is, as the man behind me in a line today remarked with a heavy accent "rather embarrassing, isn't it?"
You carry your laundry on the bus to work. The laundry is downstairs in the media center. Often the line is long and slow because the process is tedious and yes, embarrassing.
You are required to empty your laundry bag on the counter so it can be counted.
"Yes, that is 5 pairs of socks," I say holding up 5 fingers. Repeat for 5 pairs of pants. And then...dread..."Yes, 5 pairs of underwear" as she picks them up one by one with her gloved hand.
It's the worst. I REALLY don't like it. I refuse to look around to see who may be standing behind me.
There has to be a better way. Anyway, I know I will be happy in two days, come pickup time.

And it has a very nice package system, overall. Having each disk maintain a seperate package file has a few advantages, including the fact that if you update a package on disk 3, you don't need to throw out all your disk 1's. It would also make it easier to combine a standard debian image for main and a custom non-free/non-us. Mike Stone

PhoneGap is really cool since you can use web development technologies to do native mobile app development. Unfortunately it doesn't support everything the phone does via its JavaScript API. For that you need to use plugins which execute native code, and is called from JavaScript.
Makeup Of a Plugin
PhoneGap plugins consist of 2 things.
- JavaScript File
- Native Code File
If you download a plugin from somewhere, and it doesn't have at least those two things then you are missing something. It is a fairly simple thing to do you write your native code and then write a JavasSript interface for it which executes the native code.
How Do You Execute Native Code?
What you will need to do is create your class and execute it from JavaScript with a simple command:
Inside the exec command you will call the class from your native code, and specify a method. The PhoneGap framework will execute it and return back the information it needs to for you to do with it what you need.
What Does the Native Code Need?
What you really only need is a class that inherits from PGPlugin and has a method for you to call. Inheriting from PGPlugin is important because it can cause a lot of headaches if it isn't, and I mean a lot.
Tell PhoneGap the Plugin Exists
At least on iOS you need to let your app know the plugin exists, explicitly. Simply edit the plist file with a simple key value pair. The key being some name for JavaScript to call and the value being the class name of the native code implementation.
Why Is It Important to Know at Least These Things
Because if you use PhoneGap you are going to need a plugin at some point, and sometimes you will want to use code which has no documentation or, very little. So knowing at least the basics of what all plugins need you can figure out problems based on error messages. Also it helps you think beyond what PhoneGap does and gives you the opportunity to extend where you need to, especially since plugins aren't usually that complex to write.
I am having a lot of phone using PhoneGap with jQuery Mobile. It helps me create stuff very quickly, and even do some cool stuff I am not sure I would have figured out how to do after only a couple hours of playing. The biggest benefit is you can quite easily extend PhoneGap with its simple plugin system. Which makes porting to multiple platforms much nicer. Give it a shot and enjoy.

January 17, 2017 ~ Suzanne Maresca and Linda Dillon welcome Archangel Gabrielle to the show today to discuss what's actually occurring during any channeling process.
Our guest reminds us that Archangels have responsibilities, too. Nothing is more joyous to them than serving The One. Our communication skills are being sharpened as a collective, and that is what channeling truly is…telepathic communication.
Gabrielle pointed out that our words carry power and that we need to be mindful and clear on what it is that we're asking for.
Tune in for a lovely exchange around our innate abilities to both listen and hear as well as speak with our friends in the rafters.
Heavenly Blessings is a show in which we join with the Council of Love to share gifts, blessings, stories and insights through meditation, channeling and conversation. This show aims to assist individuals on their individual journey and also to build support and mutuality with the inhabitants of earth, the higher realms, and with our star brothers and sisters. Produced by Paul Backes.
Music: Sasha Lazard, Angeli and Snatam Kaur, Long Time Sun
Linda's website ~ http://counciloflove.com/
For those who wish to support our efforts with a donation ~ http://hopeche.st
Heavenly Blessings airs on alternate Tuesdays no later than Noon E.T.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Sunday the league is looking into the veracity of allegations that Brett Favre sent inappropriate messages to a female former New York Jets employee
"We are going through that and we are making sure we understand all the facts," Goodell said, via the AP, at the Chargers-Raiders game in Oakland.
The league launched an investigation after Deadspin published a video with allegations that Favre sent messages -- including photos with inappropriate photos -- to Jenn Sterger, who was the Jets' gameday host when Favre played for the team in 2008.
MORE FAVRE-STERGER: Get up to speed on the allegations
If the NFL finds merit to the allegations, Goodell could punish Favre, 41, under the league's personal-conduct policy.
Goodell said it's important for the league to complete its investigation. "We'll make a determination from there," he said.
On NBC Sports' Football Night in America, Peter King reported that even if the league finds Favre at fault, he may not be suspended if he has no previous violations of the league's personal-conduct policy.

Forms created by subuser can't be seen by subuserAsked by kaya7 on February 16, 2014 at 11:28 PM
Sorry if the description is a bit vague...
Basically, I'm sharing some of the forms of my account with another user. She is also creating her own forms.
However, on a couple of forms that she created, they disappeared from her "my forms" list after I edited them.
Does this mean that when I edit "her" forms (that is, forms she has created herself), I take ownership of the forms and then have to share them explicitly with her?
Her user id is kaya7. One of the forms that disappeaared from her list was http://form.jotform.co/jsform/33516018287859 but it reappeared when I "shared" it with her.
JotForm Support
I checked this form "33516018287859" and it belongs to audabee account. Was this form created under kaya7 account? kaya7 account doesn't seem to have any forms. Is this already and existing account before you shared the forms? I'm not quite sure but as far as I know, forms should stay on kaya7 account from where it is created.
We'll await your clarifications about this so we can investigate this further.

"Nobody's perfect. Not even families. And also, you can't make someone love you."
"Jerry Blake (Terry O'Quinn) "
" Whatever you do, step far away from the remake and pretend it doesn't exist. Just watch this one because it's a great horror movie that has a great performance from Terry O'Quinn and works as a horror movie and on a story-telling standpoint. This one deserves to be remembered while the remake deserves to be forgotten."
"March 27 "I wanna ask you something. Are you interested in buying a house... Or are you interested in me?" This movie is much, much better than the shitty remake. Unlike the remake this movie is actually scary as it has a great performance from Terry O'Quinn, great writing, a good amount of tension and some great storytelling. The remake did everything wrong while the original does almost everything right. If you're a horror fan then I'd recommend this one over the remake any day."

David's Kebab House goes for a liquor license hearing next week
Lori Midson
Next week, on February 11, the owner of David's Kebab House, a tiny Mid-East feast joint tucked into an east Denver small-mall surrounded by international markets, is set to show up at the Wellington Webb Building on 1:30 p.m to attend a hearing that'll determine whether the four-month-old kebab den, located at 970 South Oneida Street, will get its liquor license.
The board, a lineup of shish kebabs, pickled vegetables, housemade soups, including a Ukrainian borscht, pilav, and baked goods, looks great, but the liver shish kebab (when was the last time you saw that on a menu?) would definitely go better with a beer.

Crowdfunding is a great way to get a glimpse of products that are set to become a huge deal in the not-so distant future, and we think Pilo has the potential to be one of them.
It essentially a healthcare robot that becomes a part of your household and helps with your needs. It will remind you when pills need to be taken, answer your important questions, remind you of upcoming tasks and even get you connected to a healtcare professional if you need it.
Also, Pilo is really cute!
Sophisticated technology lets Pilo recognise each user with a glance, ensuring they get the right information and medication exactly when its needed, with up to a months work of tablets stored inside its tamper proof body. There's a 7 inch touch screen for interactions, which is also where you'll find the expressive 'face' that gives you friendly feedback.
It's pretty incredible technology, and it's more or less possible right now, with orders set to ship in mid 2017. Pricing is starting at $349 (€313) right now for early birds, which is 40 percent off the eventual retail price.
Get more info here, including an idea of the kinds of features Pilo could have in the future.
