Gustavo Arellano is a journalist at the OC Weekly, Orange County's weekly alternative rag (or as it is now known in popular culture, the OC) .
He recently discovered Lima City, a food court find in Irvine, located in south Orange County, California (not to be confused with Orange County, Florida).
According to Arellano, 'Lima City sells Peruvian favorites, and surprisingly good renditions considering its humble abode. The tallarín — Peruvian chow mein — usually sauced like spaghetti, is served in heaps, often topped with beef pounded as thin as a magazine, then dipped in batter and fried; it's like eating a fried-egg sandwich. The soups are thick and chock-full of seafood, the rice dishes plentiful, the ceviche is tart and contains a whole corn-on-the-cob. Lima City also offers an ever-changing buffet that can feature anything from cod fillets to crispy empanadas.'
Having been raised in the OC, I was amazed at discovering the incursion of Peruvian food in this bastion of Americana.
Arellano writes: 'Everything else on the special menu excels. On top of the list (literally and figuratively) are the Peruvian tamales. And though Peruvian cuisine isn't typically thought of as spicy, the heat burrowed inside the mushy masa is enough to make a Mexican wince. Baked into the tamale is shredded beef, peanuts, olives and a whole hard-boiled egg that lies hiding within, like the statue in a New Orleans king cake. Tallarín also makes an appearance, slathered in crumbled cheese and garlic, a jumble of heartiness borne from the Italians. And whenever you visit, order the anticuchos, skewered beef hearts paired with pork belly. They take a while to cook, but the wait is worth it: the marinade seeps all the way into the holding stick until you get the most flavorful toothpick on Earth.'

Basically it was about end of November that I started. Developed like well, I couldn't eat my food, my food wouldn't settle. Any time I ate, no matter the littlest thing I ate, I felt like I was bloated. So I went to my own GP who, in turn, turned round and told me that I had a... suffered with asthma, so he gave me an inhaler and this was like in November. And I was using the inhaler up until the 28 or whenever it was of December when me and my sister went out, just normal, going out with her husband and so forth, just over the Christmas, because I hadn't been with them all over the Christmas. Went out with them and ended up collapsing after coming out of a club. Got to my local hospital, they turned round and says, 'Well, you've had a mild heart attack.'
It felt as if the slightest, anything you ate, it could be half a bar of chocolate, an apple, it just felt that your stomach was full, and that was the fluid developing on the stomach because of the heart's apparently working too hard, and the fluid couldn't get out. Right so the heart was creating too much fluid on the lungs, that's it, water on the lungs, that's what they call it.

Dear Sir/Madam:
My name is Shirley Keoagile undertaking an internship with the Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS ( BONELA) located in Gaborone, Botswana in Southern Africa. BONELA is a non-governmental organisation concerned with the ethical, legal and human rights dimensions of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Botswana. The organisation is involved in research, training, advocacy, legal assistance and public education.
I am currently involved in the development of a project aimed at shedding light on the links between HIV/AIDS, sexuality, and human rights of people living with disabilities. One focus of the project is to assist people living with disabilities access information about HIV/AIDS, its prevention, care and treatment.
I would be grateful for your assistance to provide information relating to how educational information about sexuality and/or HIV/AIDS has been developed and disseminated to people with disabilities especially for women who are particulary at greater risk ofg being infected and affected . We are especially interested in materials that have been specifically developed for the hearing impaired community and the visually impaired community and other groups that face difficulties accessing traditional formats of information.
We are trying to explore and understand effective tools and means to communicate information about HIV/AIDS to people with disabilities.
I believe this initiative will go a long way in helping to solve challenges faced by these individuals and break the barriers in a silent world where a lack of access to information is a specific problem.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if your require more information by email at email@example.com or by fax at (+267) 393 2517. Alternatively, you may call (+267)393-2516 and ask for Cynthia.
Thank you in advance,
Shirley Keoagile

Word Carrot
Feb 14th
Word Carrot is LearnAhead's first iPhone app published on the app store on 5 January 2012. It's a free app with 90 words and will soon be updated to enable learners to buy more words through in-app purchase. We will then release a US English version, and an iPad version, though the current version also works on iPad. In the longer term we hope to publish for Android and in other languages. The accompanying website has articles and free worksheets that teachers can use for teaching the word sets featured in the apps.
Is there an app for getting language learners reading
Feb 14th
My Guardian Weekly article on the opportunity that mobile devices offer for graded readers is available in today's issue. In the article I review the OUP "Bookworm" iPhone/iPad apps and discuss the opportunities and challenges that publishers face in making mobile versions of their graded reader titles.
Mobile learning presentation webinar
Dec 14th
I'm greatly looking forward to my mobile learning presentation this weekend for the IATEFL Learning Technology SIG, see details on their web page. I will report on a survey of language learning apps carried out with Paul Sweeney, and the features that we liked and those we didn't and describe how I have applied this learning in two mobile app projects that I am working on.
The first is an arcade style iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad vocabulary learning game called Word Carrot that I have been working on the past few months with three colleagues in our new company, LearnAhead Ltd. The app will appear on the Apple App store in early January 2012.
ESU Awards: have the digital entries got any better this year?
Nov 13th
A year ago I posted an article on this site that was critical of the entries for the Duke of Edinburgh's "President's Award" for innovation and good design in digital materials for English language learning. I was a judge again this year, and I suppose the answer to my question above is "yes, they are somewhat better, but nowhere near good enough". The winner was Cambridge English Online's Phonetics Focus app, which we felt was a great tool for teachers and learners to learn the Phonemic alphabet, with a clear and attractive user interface and visual design. There were some other interesting entries, though we felt a couple were not quite finished enough for us to consider and we have contacted their developers to explain this. Otherwise, we were relieved to see some mobile apps, albeit of variable quality, though surprised to see CDROMS, even for entries that were web-based.
What next for mobile language learning?
Jul 20th
It's a year since I started Constellata and I have been using this anniversary to reflect further on the growing area of mobile learning.
This is a fast changing area and there are no definitive answers, and my views are likely to change during my company's second year of trading.

"And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
King James Version (KJV)
6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed - From those gross abominations; nay, and ye are inwardly sanctified; not before, but in consequence of, your being justified in the name - That is, by the merits, of the Lord Jesus, through which your sins are forgiven. And by the Spirit of our God - By whom ye are thus washed and sanctified.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you. Some of the worst classes had been converted. Ye are washed. "Were washed", as in the Revised Version. These verbs are all past tense. The rite of baptism is probably referred to. Ye are sanctified. To be sanctified is to be set apart to God. Ye are justified. That is, their sins were blotted out and they were counted righteous. Sinners as they were before, the gospel had washed, hallowed, and justified them. By the Spirit of our God. The work was consummated by the gift of the Holy Spirit (Ac 2:38).

The History of the City of Greenbelt
After the stock market crash of 1929 and into the early 1930's, the status of the United States was a time of social and economic chaos. 10.5 million people were out of work.
In 1933, under the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt many agencies were instituted to rescue the country and rebuild it to better conditions. The one that affected the Greenbelt area was the "Resettlement Administration". Rex Tugwell knew many beautiful gardens and cities in England and wished to develop the same atmosphere in the United States. In 1934, he drove President Roosevelt to the area of Greenbelt. (not many roads were available back then) His idea was to build low to moderate income family homes "a garden city surrounded by a greenbelt of trees and open spaces." This would increase employment for skilled and unskilled laborers as well as a relief to the housing shortage. Mr. Tugwell chose three sites:
Greenbelt, Maryland
Green Hills Ohio and
Greendale, Wisconsin.
Greenbelt, Maryland was the first site to be developed. In 1934, 3500 relief workers were dropped off and the clearing of a site for a lake and town began. The projected cost was 5.5 million dollars. Many people were very upset over the project. Concerns ranged from the government involvement in real estate and the number of people and type of people who would be building and working in the area and their affect on the neighbors. Angus MacGregor was brought from England to be the chief landscaper. He was employed by the British Royal Family. Trees were saved, walkways winded throughout the project, underpasses were built to enhance the roadways, businesses were developed in the center of town, and the school and community center were one unit with easy access for all the town residents. The actual cost was $11 million dollars to build over twice the projected amount. In 1937 as completion was nearing of Tugwell Town, 5700 applications were received for housing. The government had strict regulations on who could live in the dwellings. Residents had to be married and the wife had to stay home with the children. The government selected families in good character that would take part in community affairs. A cross section of religious affiliations was chosen from the Washington, D.C.area: 63% Protestant 30% Catholic and 7% Jewish. In 1937, the first families moved in. Rent was $31 for a couple with one child. President Roosevelt came to visit and remarked" I have seen the blueprints of this project but the site exceeds my every dream !" By 1938, over thirty organizations had been formed in the town. The community was the center of family life. In 1952, the government sold the town and much of Greenbelt. All the original homes were bought by the cooperative group of "Greenbelt Homes Inc formed for this purpose. This included 1000 war time dwellings built in 1941. Greenbelt was the first municipality in Maryland and had the first council manager in the state. Greenbelt is on the National Historic Registry. In 1987, it was honored as the first planned community to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. The Greenbelt Museum was dedicated on October 10, 1987. The museum is a restored original house with original furnishings. The museum is located at 10B Crescent Road. Many of the traditions remain today. The community works hard to maintain the cooperative atmosphere that was developed in the 1930's. All of the homes look alike but there are twenty different floor plans. Take a walk through history with a walk around the original city and visit the Greenbelt Coop, the Greenbelt Theater or the former Elementary school now the Greenbelt Community Center. To learn more, visit the Greenbelt Library. The Library has room dedicated to the history of Greenbelt. For more information online, http://www.greenbelt.com/gcom/aboutgb.htm

According to "Murphy's Law", anything that CAN go wrong WILL go wrong, typically at the worst possible time.
As a serial owner of used American cars with 150,000+ miles, I am well acquainted with Murphy. For a couple months now I have been paranoid that he was about to break my el-cheapo minivan and strand me somewhere inconvenient. The Murphmeister certainly had plenty of opportunities to cause mischief. He could have struck at 10 pm on a Thursday while I was traveling a dark and twisty Maine road miles from anywhere, with no cell phone coverage. He might have attacked during morning rush hour as I headed to Northeastern University through one of Boston's endlessly long and narrow tunnels. And I'm truly amazed that he left me alone as I went back and forth between Lynn, Nahant, Salem, and Boston this weekend during my wonderful long-distance sweetheart's visit from Florida. Yes, merciful Murphy warned me he was coming with a low battery light Sunday afternoon, but he kept the van running all the way until Sunday evening, just five minutes after I dropped my darling off at the Logan Airport departure gate. He even chose to stall the van for me next to an open parking place by a subway stop, where I could wait for a tow truck in leisurely comfort.
Actually it wasn't all that leisurely since AAA and the first tow company they called screwed things up and they had to call a different tow company after I'd already been waiting two hours underdressed in the damp wind, causing a latent cold I'd been denying all weekend to bloom full force, but whatever. At least I got my weekend. And as of now I have a new alternator that works like a charm. So HA. :)

One of my recent thoughts has been to focus on dinner parties with friends and if they want to bring a neighbor a guest then that's fine but if not, no worries. This may have come from the fact that last weekend I had to cancel tablenosh due to a horrible migraine, but had so much food that the next night I just invited a bunch of friends over to enjoy it (and a few of them were very generous and chipped in on the cost). It ended up being really fun to sit down and enjoy what I was preparing with friends (plus I love Mexican food and that was the theme!).
|My scary fish w/lime, chilli and coriander!
In regards to costs I will ask friends to chip in 5-10$ for the evening (which will still include at least 3 courses, etc.). This way I still get to do my cooking, some of the costs get covered and I can enjoy an evening with friends. Seeing as this is probably our last year in Australia I thought I really want to make time for our current friendships. However, this being said I will keep the doors open for strangers and other guests as well. So, if you are stumbling across my site and think I really want to come to a 'tablenosh dinner' then just let me know and I will make you a friend too!
At the moment I am scheduled to do a Tablenosh Celebration evening on April 30th. This will be a cocktails and canapes style party and is open to anyone. I just need you to email and let me know you want to come email@example.com.

Step 1- Learn the basic process
I have found 10 sites that have online submission procedures for galleries. Any others I need to call… rather than trying to do so many galleries, which is wasting all my time I"m going to focus on finding a total of 10 galleries within a 50 mile radius that I can interact with. 6 online and 4 other. I have decided that I will focus on galleries rather than just any space, in order to simplify a bit. I do realize these are harder to get work into, but the point of this is to learn to interact in the art world. I've decided for the local area, direct contacts I will work through art councils in the hopes that I will be able to make more contacts and get more information. I am in hopes that the councils will help with finding a space that's right for me. With the exception of the Cameron art gallery, which I have already had some contact with.

For the following six online submission places I tried to find galleries that housed the kinds of work that I do. I did not stay within the 50 mile radius as most of the online submission places are not in this area.
1. waterworks visual arts center In salisbury, this spaces has an installation room and shows modern mixed media pieces. I think it would be a good fit depending on what I wanted to show.
The Waterworks Visual Arts Center, Salisbury, North Carolina exhibits contemporary fine art and craft by professional artists.
Submission deadlines: Jan 30, and Sept 30 of each year. Submissions are reviewed within a 60-day period following these deadlines. We welcome submissions from trained artists with credentials and require that submissions include the following information:
• A current resumé detailing education, grants, fellowships, awards, teaching positions, gallery affiliations, major exhibitions and collections.
• An artist statement related specifically to the body of work submitted. The statement should discuss the source and nature of influences, research and inspiration that shape your work in terms of media, technique, and concepts.
• 10 to 20 slides or digital images of current work that is available to be exhibited. The slides must also have a related ID sheet listing medium, size, date and retail price, and a self-addressed stamped envelope large enough and with adequate postage for the return of materials.
• We make every effort to safeguard submitted materials but we cannot be responsible for loss or damage.
• Slide/CD reviews are scheduled two times each year. Submissions should be sent to the attention of "Exhibitions Assistant." A letter or postcard acknowledging receipt of your packet will be mailed within twenty one days and materials will be returned as soon as possible. Most exhibitions are planned approximately 12-15 months in advance to give artists ample time to prepare.
Questions? E-mail: gro.skrowretaw|snoitibihxe#gro.skrowretaw|snoitibihxe

4.Hartwitzen Gallery in Charlotte is actually an artists rental space. So if I managed to ever get a grant I could rent this space if need be.
I will email Grace-Anne Alfiero, who has a lot of experience in getting shows and grants, Marylin Freeman who is a video artist and I thought could possibly give me more information in that arena and Micheal Robinson who does some work similar to mine and has had some exhibitions of his own. Following are a list of questions that I will ask them.
- What kind of exhibitions have you done? (Single work, installations, etc.)
- What type of spaces did you choose to show in?
- How did you find the space you chose to work in?
- How did you go about networking in order to integrate yourself in your art community?
- How did you market your work to the space you chose?
- Did you send images of general work or the work you planned on exhibiting?
- Did you meet in person, talk on the phone, or have email correspondence with the space?
- Do you change your images/statement/etc, depending on the gallery/space?
- Could you send me an example of a proposal you have done in the past?
The following are questions that I plan to ask the gallery, if you know of anything else I should ask or say, please let me know.
- How do I submit work to your gallery?
- How far in advance do you book shows?
- Do you have set dimensions for artwork?
- Do you offer any advertising?
Example Email
I am working on my practicum at this time and am trying to learn to interact in my art community. I have only ever had one or two works hanging in juried shows before and am interested in creating an installation or having a larger show. I know some of your work and was wondering if you would answer a few questions for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I think my email to Marylin will be a little different. I know she has her own film company and may not exhibit. I really just want to know more about how to exhibit art movies from her nd if she has ever had an exhibition.
I have emailed everyone. I did not include the questions, just asked them if they would help first. If they agree I will send the questions along then.
Marilyn and Micheal have both responded int he affirmative. I have sent along the questions to them.
Several of the galleries can be contacted through email. Following is the email that I will send as my initial contact to various galleries.
Tips for submitting
Tips on Submitting Work Samples to Museums and Galleries
These tips are provided by the North Carolina Arts Council's Visual Arts Program Area, go to www.ncarts.org for more information.
Most visual artists would like to exhibit their work. North Carolina is fortunate to have a number of venues across the state, but finding appropriate spaces for your work and persuading them to show it can be daunting. Many guilds and artist organizations offer opportunities for their members to exhibit. Other spaces organize juried shows to attract work from a certain region or address a theme or range of media (see Juried Competitions). Some visual arts organizations issue calls for slides annually or at defined intervals to determine candidates for their upcoming schedule of exhibitions. These opportunities are usually publicized on their web sites, with preferred methods for submission spelled out.
Most organizations, however, have a less formalized procedure for considering work. If you plan to submit unsolicited slides or digital images to a museum or gallery for review, consider the following:
* Research the organizations you want to approach. Visit the gallery, or at least the web site, so you know the kinds of exhibitions they mount. Craft museums are probably not interested in pastels; galleries devoted to nature art may not be drawn to installations. The more you know, the better able you'll be to make an effective presentation.
* If possible, find the appropriate contact (the curator, program director, or executive director) for your submission. If the gallery's procedures for slide review are not posted on its web site, call or e-mail the curator. He or she is usually happy to provide guidance because it saves time in the long run.
* Always ask before submitting digital images by email. While some may welcome this approach, other curators may not be open to email submissions; they may prefer CDs or slides. If they cannot respond immediately, they have to save your data and digital images take up a formidable amount of space on hard drives or email servers. Curators, like the rest of us, have different comfort levels with technology. You are best served by presenting your materials in the form that will be most convenient for your recipient.
* Do not expect a quick reply. If you do, you will be disappointed. Mark your calendar three months out and contact them then, politely, to ask when you might expect to hear from them.
* Always include a stamped, self-addressed envelope (SASE). This does not guarantee you will get your slides back, but it increases the probability. A stamped return post card gives the gallery an easy way to acknowledge receipt of your package.
Finally, and somewhat redundantly, always be polite. More than just securing an exhibition opportunity, you are trying to build a relationship. The odds are, with any given submission to a gallery, that it won't result immediately, or perhaps ever, in a show for you there. But you have succeeded in exposing your work to the curator; he or she should now be on your mail and e-mail list for news about shows you're having at other spaces. And curators do talk to one another. The overture you make to one gallery may lead to an opportunity at another, unexpected venue. A rejection is only personal or final if you take it that way. It may in fact be the beginning of something quite positive.

Just the cutest cards Torico. I love your coloring.ReplyDelete
Absolutely amazing card!Very clever design and fantastic coloring.Thank you for the inspiration,Torico!ReplyDelete
Adorable! Did you also cover the animals on the card front with something like Glossy Accents? I have tried this with images that I have colored, and the colors always seem to move a little, and appear somewhat smudged. Your coloring is still very sharp! Can you tell me more about how you did it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Tinkerbeth,Delete
Thank you for your comment. I didn't cover the images with Glossy Accents on this card, and I haven't had any problems like you when I used Glossy Accents over my colored images. You might need to change your ink or coloring medium. I usually use MFT Hybrid ink or Versa Craft ink by Tsukineko (I'm not sure if this ink is available in other countries than Japan.) for stamping the images to color and Copic Markers for coloring.
Wow! I guess the white highlights fooled me! Thanks for your answer!Delete
Amazing interactive flop card that shows off all those charming animals!ReplyDelete

Fast cars caught the spotlight at the middle of the last century and the ranks of lovers of high speed and racing adrenaline have been getting more populated ever since.
Formula 1 is not unrivalled among other kinds of racing, yet the army of Formula 1 followers is perhaps the biggest army in the world, even though it has been reporting desertions after the 7-times world champion Michael Schumacher left. The elite of car manufacturers, collaborating with the leaders in the area of electronics, are creating sports cars with unique speed and aerodynamic characteristics that excite the imagination of millions of fans worldwide.
The computer industry is not aloof to the racing spirit, but computer users get their thrill from the race for performance while PC manufacturers are racing for the users?money, making their products attractive by means of chrome and carbon materials and eye-catching colors.
We well remember the beginnings of the Acer Ferrari and ASUS Lamborghini notebook series: they were virtually copies of top-end notebooks from other series with an addition of appropriate racing insignia and characteristic colors. They were gaining more individuality, eventually. The 4000 series from Acer Ferrari was instantly recognizable (for details see our article called Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi Notebook Review), and the last-year 5000 and 1000 models, running on dual-cylinder engines (the ASUS Lamborghini notebooks had two execution cores from the start, but didn't support 64-bit extensions), had their own unique characters, too. The 5000 series notebooks were also ragingly fast in terms of graphics performance. The 1000 series just cannot accommodate a discrete graphics core due to its modest 12.1?form-factor.
So, this laptop remains speedy only when it comes to pure computing, but it is rather a midget racing car in its graphics performance and mass/dimensions parameters (302x221x34.5 millimeters and 1.6kg with a 3-cell battery)
The Ferrari team doesn't meet any competition from Automobili Lamborghini here due to a lack of ASUS models in the ultra-portable sector. Thus, the Acer Ferrari 1005WTMi we are about to test-drive today is unrivalled as yet, and Ferrari is again the first to start out, this time in the ultra-compact sector. The Acer Ferrari 1005WTMi will be opposed by the Dell Inspiron XPS M1210 that has the same form-factor and a similar configuration (for details see our article called DELL Inspiron XPS M1210 Notebook Review).

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I am wearing my stretchy pants right now and sitting down to get back into the grind. We are starting the week off with a Marni bag. Marni handbags have not been my absolute favorite bags. They offer a modern touch, have an edgy appeal, but many times they just did not do it for me, even though I tend to be drawn toward a more modern look. But now I can officially say that I found a Marni bag that I adore, the Marni Pouchette Clutch. In the most perfect hue of green, this mint leather pouchette is easily lovable! There is a black acrylic frame with a silver metal clasp to fasten. And now that we are in the season of black and grey ensembles, this pop of fresh mint leather will surely brighten up any outfit. There is a small open pouch on the inside and is fully lined. Thank you Marni for giving me a bag to adore. Buy through Net A Porter for $1125.

What is the below chart telling us!!!
- Market was in downtrend and seems to have changed the trend in mid January.
- We can see this in below chart as nifty (blue line) is crossing its 100 day moving average (red line) upward, also the McClellan Summation Index is crossing its moving averages. This is initial sign of trend change.
- Market continues to move higher and crosses 200 day moving average (orange line), this is a confirmation that market may have finally changed the trend.
- From mid February, market is in small correction mode also known as pullback. This is actually good for and healthy for BULL market. In fact this might provide us with the buying opportunity. Once the dotted line is broken by the market upwards, that would be the time to get in the markets either by investing in mutual funds or stocks.
- The trend continuation can continue for several months before next major correction.
How do we go about selecting Mutual Fund or for that matter right stocks to get in!!!
- We will cover this in our next post over the weekend
- For stocks take a look at our "Stocks - Simple Approach" which should provide some insight
Remember, capital preservation should be our TOP PRIORITY ALWAYS. Right timing is critical to success in stock market.

Given the discussion circling inferior vena cava (IVC) filters as of late, I thought it's nice to inform about an unusual case I recently had regarding an 18-year-old female who recently started taking birth control pills and presented to an outside hospital with left flank pain.
During her workup, the patient was found to have long left iliofemoral thrombosis. An IVC filter (Gunther Tulip; Cook Medical) was placed and pharmacologic thrombolysis was attempted for 48 hours without satisfying results. Thus, surgical thrombectomy was done. Unfortunately, the IVC filter became displaced in the process.You can also visit http://www.bardfilterlawsuitcenter.com/bard-ivc-filter-lawsuit-lawyers.asp here to get more info on ivc filter complications.
The patient came to our office for a second opinion and as shown in the images in this blog post, not only is their large clot burden in the IVC, the IVC filter extends beyond the confines of the IVC. What would the next step be, we questioned? The patient sustained intervention as follows.
The right neck and groin were prepped and wrapped in the usual sterile fashion. A 0.035" Bentson guidewire (Cook Medical) was passed into a pre-existing triple lumen, which was transferred over the wire. A 10 Fr 60 cm sheath (Cook Medical) was placed over the wire. A 5 Fr angled guide catheter (Terumo) was introduced over the wire and used to direct the wire through the filter and the wire was seized with a snare. The in situ snares was drawn back. Multiple efforts were made from the neck. A leg of the removed IVC filter was gripped with the snare.If you have any query related to ivc filters you may take advice from a expert ivc filter lawyer.
Simultaneously, access was taken from the right femoral vein under ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture kit. A 10 Fr sheath was placed. Over a 0.035" Bentson guidewire a reverse curve catheter was advanced and an effort was made to pull the catheter back hooking the medial legs. A Simmons 1 was used; however, we were happy using a VS 1 catheter.

The Captive Queen by Alison Weir
It is the year 1152, and a beautiful woman rides through France, fleeing her crown, her two young daughters and a shattered marriage.
Her husband, Louis of France has been more monk than monarch, and certainly not a lover. Now Eleanor of Aquitaine has one sole purpose: to return to her duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, destined for greatness as King of England. It will be a union founded on lust, renowned as one of the most vicious marriages in history, and it will go on to forge a great empire and a devilish brood.
This is a story of the making of nations, and of passionate conflicts: between Henry II and Thomas Becket; between Eleanor and Henry's formidable mother Matilda; between father and sons, as Henry's children take up arms against him – and finally between Henry and Eleanor herself. (Goodreads)
Eleanor of Aquitaine was first married to King Louis of France, but he was more interested spending his time in prayers than with his wife. She's not happy and extremely bored and when it's suggested that Louis finds a new wife to get much needed male heir she's not resisting.
Then she meets young Henry FitzEmpress and it's insta-lust from the start. After Eleanor gets her divorce from Louis she and Henry marries without permission.
I'm still wondering why I ever started this book and how I managed to finish it. I haven't been huge fan of her fiction books but this sure was something.
The sex scenes weren't so bad than I thought and not as graphic but I don't need sex scenes from the start. At page 2 she's remembering her hot night with her future husband's father and it's downhill from there. But then she sees Henry for the first time and forgets Geoffrey just like that and after just few hours after their first meeting Eleanor and Henry are having sex. She's supposed to have had an affair with this troubadour guy too, and of course with her uncle. Because if there's some ugly rumour ever spoken of Eleanor you can trust to find it in here. As I said the sex wasn't that graphic but it also wasn't good and got very repetitive very soon. And I'm wondering how she managed to do all this without her servants knowing?
At page 22 we get this wonderful peace of information
Henry was surprised to find his father's muscles iron-hard – not bad for an old man of thirty-eight, he thought. He had glimpsed too Geoffrey's impressive manhood, and wondered seriously for the first time if his father had indeed been speaking the truth about knowing Eleanor carnally, and if he had, whether he had satisfied her as well as he, Henry, had done.
Like any normal father-son day, right?
Somehow Weir manages to turn this strong and intelligent woman into weak, childish, sex-addicted woman. And her portrayal of Henry isn't that better. Where is this powerful man who's spectacular rages made men fear? Instead we get someone who spends most of his time drinking, swiving random women at closets and other random places and stamping his foot when everything won't go as he planned. There's some fighting between Eleanor and Henry but unfortunately it sounds like a 3 year old is having a tantrum.
And if this all wasn't enough she had to make Beckett to be in love with Henry. Like seriously?
I wasn't fan of the writing itself which was the biggest reason why I hated this. But towards the end something happens and the writing get better and the characters started coming to life. We actually get one moving scene between Eleanor and Henry regarding Rosamund.
Speaking of writing, at some point after she has given birth she's thinking about how queen's can't raise their kids and breastfeed them by themselves and then few pages after she puts the baby to her breast. Ouch!
I think this is time to stop reading her fiction books and not even try her next book!

In contrast to the Washington Post editorial discussed below, David Broder provides a sensible discussion of breaking the Senate impasse over judicial nominations. Broder argues that the Democrats "should make a deal." And unlike the Post, Broder has in mind a serious deal. In fact, he suggests that the Democrats should respond to, rather than totally reject, Senator Frist's compromise plan. That plan would provide up to 100 hours of debate per disputed nomination, and put an end to the practice (used in the past by both Republicans and Democrats) of blocking nominees in committee.
Noting the obvious — that 100 hours is enough time in which to make the case against a nominee — Broder concludes that Senator Reid's opposition to Frist's plan must be based the fact that he "does not trust the majority of senators. . .to weigh the merits of these judges after hearing all the arguments." Broder goes on to argue that Reid is wrong, in that the centrist senators in both parties who hold the balance of power "will give due deference to the president's selections for the bench but exercise their own judgments on those jurists' fitness for these lifetime appointments."
I would have argued, instead, that Senator Reid's lack of trust in the majority is insufficient grounds to block the will of the majority forever, and the very reason why Republicans must take matters into their own hands. But Broder's point is a good one too, and perhaps more helpful in pointing a way out of the impasse. If Bush's nominees are truly outside of the mainstream, then the Democrats should be able to persuade moderates like Senators Collins, Snowe, Specter (apparently not persuaded at the hearings), Chafee, McCain, Hagel, and Voinovich to oppose them. Maybe they can find evidence that some of the nominees have yelled at people on occasion. The fact that the Democrats aren't really interested in making their case to these Senate moderates strongly suggests that they have little faith in the merits of their arguments.

Posts Tagged 'croudsourcing'
Government - Written Wednesday, July 7, 2010 by Thomas Gegenhuber - 6 Comments
When lobbyists don't matter
When governments think about using crowdsourcing instruments like the participatory budget model of Freiburg or platforms like Manorlabs one of the biggest concern is: How can we prevent that lobby groups or the opposition uses this tool for their purposes?
First, the extent of this concern is dependent on the environment in which the government operates. In local governments in Europe, like in Austria and Germany, political parties play a major role. In North America, party politics play a less significant role on local level. However, the bigger the city, the more important the issue of partisan politics and the interests of lobby groups become. Well organized, lobby groups and opposition can make mountains out of molehills on a crowdsourcing platform. A government, which refuses to take care about an issue that has gained acceptance on a crowdsourcing platform, is likely to be grilled by the media. The headline: "Government does not listen to ordinary citizens". Subhead: "Electronic participation served solely PR interests of government". So my first answer would be: In an environment where a government or the ruling party fears that crowdsourcing could be exploited by the opposition for partisan politics there is one remedy: The activists of your own party should be active on the platform as well. Fight out the competition of ideas on the platform.

NYC's Super Fast Free Wi-Fi Begins Rollout at Former Payphones
New Yorkers, soon you'll be able to stop wasting your data plan when you're on the go. Free super fast public wifi program LinkNYC began its rollout this week, and will have 4,500 kiosks around the city within the next four years.
The first kiosks went up at former payphones on Third Avenue at East 15th Street and East 17th Street on Tuesday. In the next few weeks, they and eight more on Third Ave will start pumping out gigabit speed wifi within 150 feet, which is 20 to 50 times faster than home broadband service, and 100 times faster than average public wifi.
In February, the kiosks will get tablets enabling free phone calls within the US and web browsing. By June, there will be 500 kiosks around New York.

The Châteaux Collections
Faced with the modernity that is invading all aspects of life, formerly Châteaux & Hôtels Collection, LES COLLECTIONNEURS promote unrivalled standards of quality. New imperatives concerning character, charm and exclusivity have now been added to the essential requirements of comfort, service and location. Under their banner, fine establishments are developing, innovating and providing their customers with many different ways of enjoying their breaks that differ as much as the guests themselves.
Given the huge diversity of the Châteaux, inns, traditional hotels and manor houses within the association, Châteaux & Hôtels Collection have rated the hotels in their collection with rosette symbols. On a scale from 3 to 5, these indicate whether a property tends towards simple charm and rustic, regional fare or finer dining and luxury. Restaurants have likewise been rated from 1 to 3, from ''bonne table'' to ''table d'excellence''.

The book is Peter Mark Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases, the most prodigious work of systematic metaphysics that England has produced. We owe to his son, John Roget, the glorious expansion of the index. But it was Peter Mark who conceived the sublime arrangement of opposites – Mixture and Simplicity, Life and Death, Necessity and Will – displayed in parallel columns like Kant's "antinomies".
The comparison is apt. Like Kant and Wittgenstein, Roget turned metaphysics against itself. His work is not only a fearsome cannon in the war against cliché, but a fortress against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. He must have been consulting his own book when he wrote this splendiferous passage from its introduction:
Truisms pass current, and wear the semblance of profound wisdom, when dressed up in the tinsel garb of antithetical phrases, or set off by an imposing pomp of paradox. By a confused jargon of involved and mystical sentences, the imagination is easily inveigled into a transcendental region of clouds, and the understanding beguiled into the belief that it is acquiring knowledge and approaching truth. A misapplied or misapprehended term is sufficient to give rise to fierce and interminable disputes; a misnomer has turned the tide of popular opinion; a verbal sophism has decided a party question; an artful watchword, thrown among combustible materials, has kindled the flame of deadly warfare, and changed the destiny of an empire.

Regardless of the way a basement is built, water can penetrate even the most well built, solid structure. This can particularly be a potential problem for new homebuyers and homeowners. A good home inspector can pick up the tell tale signs of a basement leak.
Basement leakage can be a real nightmare for homeowners to deal with. Basement foundations come in many forms—from concrete
foundations to stone, block or tile basement walls. Even the most well built structure with a basement, may be prone to leakage.
Given the travelling nature of water, it is very difficult to predict exactly where the water will end up entering the building. It can enter from the walls, joists or floors. For homeowners, dealing with water leakage can certainly prove to be an expensive endeavour. A leakage problem can be very damaging to your property, possessions and have adverse affects on your health should mould develop as a result of the moisture in the basement. Water damage resulting from flooding can also negatively affect the value of your home.
A source of water leakage in the basement can come from old, worn out windows in need of replacement. A probable source of water entry into your home can be through gaps, fissures and cracks around an old basement window. Depending on the age of the house, old single-pane windows may need to be replaced with vinyl framed insulated glass windows that have double pane.
Typically, standard window wells used for years around the basement windows have been made of steel. In some cases, these window wells end up rusting or require paint. Another problem associated with window wells is that during heavy storms, water may collect and pool in the well, which may end up seeping in around the window frames and into the basement.
New window wells come in durable vinyl material. Unlike steel, vinyl window wells will not rust or require painting. As well, vinyl windows can also come with a clear acrylic cover that prevents water from filling the window well.
New window wells come in durable vinyl material. Unlike steel, vinyl window wells will not rust or require painting. As well, vinyl windows can also come with a clear acrylic cover that prevents water from filling the window well.
A wall crack is usually an indication of a larger problem related to the foundation of the house. Before a repair job can begin, it is important to source out the primary location of the structural problem. Once the source has been identified, then you can begin repairing both interior and exterior wall cracks.
The leakage problem may be tackled from the outside of the house. The exterior waterproofing system is an expensive option, which involves excavation around the foundation of the house using heavy equipment. During the process of excavation, the area around the house will be a construction zone making access to the house very difficult and hazardous. This is primarily why exterior waterproofing systems are installed during the new construction phase of building.
During the excavation stage, all existing bushes, shrubs and landscaping must be removed. Dirt is dug up to expose the base of the foundation wall right down to the footings. A visual inspection may reveal cracks or minor structural deficiencies that may be repaired right away. A waterproof membrane or waterproof coating is applied to the foundation wall to form a water barrier. In some cases, a waterproof dimple membrane is wrapped around the foundation.
The weeping tile is replaced which lies along the base of the foundation wall. Once this process is complete, the foundation is backfilled to grade and soil is repositioned.
Back and front yards may be leveled off flat or may actually slope towards the house. This may pose as a hazard since with the passage of time, the slope of the grading can allow water from rain/snow/ice to flow towards the house and drain against the basement walls. This can be the cause of wet spots, efflorescence or evidence of standing water on the floor. A quick and easy fix to this is to intercept the surface drainage and redirect the water away from the house. Digging a drainage ditch, which would be designed to reroute the water around the house, would be dug. The drainage ditch, once sodded will act like a catch basin and hopefully solve the leaking problem. Alternatively, the ground may be sloped away from the foundation, extending the slope for at least ten feet.
Another common problem is when gutters or downspouts become clogged with debris or are defective and don't work, as they should. This may cause water to form puddles near the basement wall and thus keep the soil very wet. Again, this may cause water to eventually enter through cracks into the basement. A simple solution is to replace the gutters/downspouts, or maintain them by keeping them free of debris. Where leaves and twigs from nearby trees may collect in a gutter, a basket-shaped wire strainer or leaf-guard, may be installed across the length of the gutter. To keep water from pooling at the point of discharge, a concrete gutter or splash block may be used to carry the water away at a slope of one inch per foot. Downspouts can also be extended to channel rain away from the outside foundation. Roof water can also be piped underground to a storm drain, dry well, or surface outlet fifteen feet or more from the house.
A good home inspector is able to see the tell tale signs of basement leakage and point it out to you. S/he may make suggestions as to best course of action to take. But, this is one situation which requires attention right away as a small leak may become a big headache if not taken care of right away.

From the eighth to the 18th century, one of the most powerful countries in the world wasn't a country at all. The autonomous city-state of Venice commanded a vast economic and military empire that at its height in the 15th century reached as far east as Cyprus. (The artist El Greco, for instance, wasn't actually Greek by geography or nationality. He was born on Crete at a time when it was under Venetian rule.)
The Italian city-states of the Middle Ages may be the best-known, but they weren't alone. During the same period, a number of cities in what is now France, Germany, and the Low Countries were ruled as autonomous political units. So why don't we have them anymore?
The traditional explanation is that city-states were simply too militarily weak to compete with larger nation-states. But NYU political scientist David Stasavage argues that economic factors are a more likely explanation. His research has found that between 1000 and 1800, the population growth of autonomous cities initially exceeded that of non-independent cities, but the trend reversed itself long before these cities were conquered by their bigger neighbors. In Venice, for instance, the population by 1500 was smaller than it had been in 1330, beginning a long decline until the 18th century, when it was eventually conquered by Napoleon.
Autonomous cities took off in Europe at a time in history when rule of law and political authority were weak. Wealthy merchants in a city would band together both to fund their common security and to enforce property rights when larger governments couldn't.
"These were islands of economic dynamism at a time when things weren't necessarily going all that well in the rest of Europe," Stasavage told Slate.
So what went wrong? Often, these cities evolved political systems that gave wealthy merchants direct control over governance, and they used that power to make life miserable for the competition.
"The big drawback is that once a group of people are running their own affairs, they're also looking out for their own interests," he says. "So they start setting up barriers to outsiders coming in and all these restrictions on others engaging in commerce within the city limits."
As oligarchies closed to outside commerce, the European cities began to slowly decline. Their closest successors today might be autonomous Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore, which share their economic dynamism as well as some of their troubling cronyism.
The recent rise of developing-world megacities has also reignited some interest in urban areas as more autonomous political units. Hopefully the Hyderabads and São Paulos of the future can avoid some of the mistakes of the Venices and Colognes of the past.

The Stetson Mansion
The Stetson Mansion is Florida's First Luxury Estate and the grandest home ever built in Florida before the 20th century. The estate was hidden and lost for 100 years. It has recently been rescued, restored and updated in a timeless fashion.
Built in 1886 for famed hat maker and philanthropist John B. Stetson, this winter retreat was the only richly detailed "Gilded Age" mansion built in Florida. The eclectic and unusual architectural design also includes a variety of complicated interior carvings, 16 patterns of the nation's most rare and intricate parquet wood floors and 10,000 panes of original leaded glass windows. Even if the house was empty, the details are captivating.
The Stetsons were known for hosting magnificent parties and gatherings for local townsfolk and elite society including President Cleveland, the King and Queen of England and Henry Flagler, who built a rail spur right to the estate so friend Thomas Edison could install one of the world's first home electric systems.
Imagine having your intimate wedding at this incredible estate.

I'm a Earl with 33k Points on World 3 Leitram Area. Own 2 parishes with 6 villages total. Run a faction with 450k points and 35 members.I play with a few people who have joined me -PoophammerSmoothrichBadplayerShikA friend of mine (Scab)Mechanix (just joined)Sorry to inform you but the whole Pay2Win Route is extremely hard to do in this game. First off any of the HUGE cards that actually make a huge impact to pay 2 win are random cards that you can only get from the free cards which everyone can get. All of these cards you get at random.The ones you can actually pay for and get at any time arnt even that strong. Sure they help but I can easily win against other players who use cards.
Most of us are currently living off relatives, friends, parttime-jobs or savings, to be able to work as much and cheaply as possible.
Nope. The two top players/leaders in the our world were notorious carders. It's a massive advantage to get 5x production in everything, get instant units, massive movement bonus, and then instant repairs, instant build, instant research, sally forth cards, etc. The free cards are the same as the random pack, which you can buy with crowns. You can also trade in your cards and select your own. When you're blowing $100+ a week on crowns, the 5:1 trade in (at most) is nothing.There's virtually nothing you can do (other than use instant repair/instant build cards) against someone who stacks unit cards and sends 10+ full armies at your village with the movement card while your interdiction is down.
Half the shit is fucking useless. Let me explain.At such a high level x5 production isn't even that great, I highly doubt they even spend cards on that considering resources become a lot less needed the higher you get. I constantly have 100k+ of every resource because I can't spend it all faster then I make it EVEN with premium where I can que shit up. Now for a higher rank to do this would make no sense.Getting instant units is so fucking limited, the best card there is 60 archers - 60 archers is pretty fucking useless when you could easily make that. At the moment I have MINIMUM 500 bows available for use. Again the leader in your world is a Prince at max honor level hes probably making x3 the bow production I am. Also not to mention the cost of stupid amounts of card points it's not even worth it.Massive Speed Bonus is a valid argument except the fact that they don't got much card points so literally anyone can get them for next to nothing.Same thing for instant repairs easily obtained, also instant repairs are that useful if you send consecutive attacks and only repair walls that are damage it doesn't repair walls that have been demolished.Instant Research yet again is fucking useless for high ranks because half the time the high rank can't even rank quick enough before his 3 research points are spent, varies on player of course. Also if you were speaking from the top player they're most likely already Prine (I.E max level) which means they've spent all there research points unless they pay for some using Gold which is only earned through in game.Sally Forth can be obtained with research too and a extra few knights isn't going to change a battle DRAMATICALLY.I would like to see a castle survive 10+ full armies anyways, it's not suppose to survive I don't really care how fucking good your castle is but if you expect to survive 10+ waves of an army you're insane. Especially if the person who is attacking knows what their doing.-Side note- I'm not scared of people who spend a shit ton of money on this game because their advantage they get wouldn't make a huge difference in warfare I don't find. They're are so many tactics you can use to out smart your opponent is you know what you're doing that it's more strategy than anything. Not to mention you can join factions, Houses for protection etc.
No where did I say that never happens. What stops people from steam rolling others is Honor.If a Prince were to attack a Knight it would cost him A SHIT TON of honor to raze just 1 of his villages. If they were steam rolling people their level then it's fair game. You can be perfectly competitive in this game and still do well if you know what you're doing.Very few cards actually give an advantage and even then it's slight. How far did you even get into the game?
I feel as if you're butt hurt that someone a few ranks above you raped you cause you started some shit.
I've been playing longer then you and I'm two ranks over and much more experienced.But ok. I also don't consider it a waste of time as I play it when I'm bored and not playing other games or simply browsing the internet.
That's pretty sad if you've been playing longer than I have and are only 2 ranks ahead me when I'm 3-4 months removed since I've last played but okay. Obviously you're not doing something right.
I didn't start the same day you did, I've been playing longer then you then when I've started.Whats sad is that you're in a sub forum of a game you don't like to just to shit talk it. Why the fuck are you here loser? Gtfo.

The junior transfer completed his first meet for the Bobcats finishing eighth overall in 28:07 on the 8k course.
Four Bobcats finished one behind the other starting with junior Daniel Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) in 11th at a personal best of 28:14. Following behind Horseman was freshman Zack Robinson (Snellville, Ga.) in 28:21, freshman Phillip Laskey (Marietta, Ga.) in 28:22, and junior Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.) in 28:23 in typical Georgia College pack-runner style.

Collaboration between Arnold/Salvator
This work is a collaboration between Kristina Arnold and Myself.
Marilee Salvator and Kristina Arnold were introduced to each others' practices when they became colleagues at WKU in 2015, discovering that their work shares both a similar set of biologically-based inspirations and a compatible visual aesthetic. Working collaboratively seemed like a logical next step, and through this process the two discovered that they also have similar styles and methods of working. As both are space-based and process-based artists with a strong connection to materials, over the month of June their collaborative project evolved to fill every flat surface of the WKU printmaking studio. Working multiple pieces at a time, the artists trade off, layering down marks via press, screen, hand and sewing machine. They work back and forth, making editorial decisions together along the way.
Layers and marks simultaneously create both addition and subtraction. Through a process of continual accretion, elements combine, imagery emerges, is removed, and eventually stabilizes. Through references to botanical and human biology, the duality of growth as both generative and destructive is explored.
Working together, the artists have created an energetic, new series that contains recognizable elements from each artist, and that also encapsulates a combined aesthetic. Additionally, allowing themselves to be open to and trust each others' decision-making has opened windows for each into their own practices.

What is Yoga for Pregnancy?
Yoga for Pregnancy at the PPC is a wonderful preparation for pregnancy, labour, birth, and becoming a mother focusing on breathing awareness, grounding, posture, relaxation and movements for pregnancy and labour. Each woman, her pregnancy and birth is unique and so we help you to find YOUR way with yoga.
We believe that our sessions are special because our knowledge of birth and experience in supporting women is incorporated into the sessions so that we can guide you at your own pace which helps you to tap into your own inner knowledge and intuition and enhances your connection with your baby.
The sessions always finish with discussions about pregnancy, birth, parenting and any issues brought up by the group over tea and biscuits. This allows to you get to know others in the group, develop your knowledge about birth, and share experiences with other women. All our yoga facilitators are experienced birth educators with knowledge of pregnancy, birth and local maternity services.
How will it benefit me and my baby?
Each session includes YOGA POSTURES and BREATHING awareness which subtly enhance the health of all your body systems and so encourage an improved oxygen and nutrient supply to both you and your baby. MEDITATIONS are included in the sessions which promote confidence and calmness which in turn help release the hormones most needed for a positive birth experience. RELAXATION works in a similar way by helping to relieve tension both physically, mentally and emotionally. All in all our yoga for pregnancy approach is nurturing and helps to improve confidence, calmness, posture, comfort, sleep and some common pregnancy symptoms such as heartburn, backache, cramp, swollen feet etc.
Our approach makes yoga safe for all women whether they are new to yoga or have practiced before, wherever you are in your pregnancy and whether this is your first baby or a subsequent pregnancy.
More information and how to book
Our sessions are very popular and we run a waiting list due to this. Waiting times are at least 4 weeks so please register your details as soon as possible.

** You are entitled to paid time off work for antenatal care, which includes pregnancy yoga classes when supported by your midwife or GP see www.gov.uk/working-when-pregnant-your-rights
We run a number of different groups. Some sessions run each week and you can continue for as long as you want, some are run in blocks of a certain number of week:

- Thursday evening – 7-9pm ** register your interest for new group starting soon
- Friday afternoon 4-6pm

We operate our Yoga for Pregnancy sessions on a donation system because the Pregnancy and Parents Centre is a not-for-profit charity. We ask women to pay in consecutive blocks of 6 weeks and continue to do so until you wish to give up your space. The suggested donation for 6 consecutive weeks is £65. This includes all equipment, refreshments and support. All our classes have concessionary rates and this is the same for the donation system for yoga. Please contact us about this if you need to know more.

One of the ways to give a new touch to our home is to add attractive wall shelving units. Decorative wall shelves are available in many styles. There are many ideas that you may like. When deciding the style of the wall shelves, you should consider the design of the room. For example, if your room is designed in formal setting, floating shelves can be a great idea. This kind of shelves makes any room look and feel sophisticated. Floating shelves have no visible hinges or bracket. They can be made from glass, wood, or other materials. When choosing floating shelves, make sure you pick the ones that go well with the existing furniture. For example if the room has rustic style.
Unlike floating shelves which come without hinges, there are also shelves with decorative brackets. These shelves are available in many choices of style and colors. Even. Some of these decorative wall shelves have unique shapes and designs. Actually decorative wall shelves with brackets can keep things on the shelves safe and protected. But if you want something more elegant, floating shelves are the best idea.
Another idea is chair rail shelving. No matter which decorative wall shelves, you should prepare it well. The most important thing we should consider is the measurement. In order to make sure correct measurement, it is recommended to make a drawing first before buying and installing any decorative wall shelves. You can either install the shelves your own or call an installer. Actually wall shelves installation is not difficult. As long as you follow the instruction, the installation can be done without any problems. But, if you have no time, asking a help of a professional installer is necessary. Many home improvement stores and online stores provide shelving units in a huge range of styles.

Top-ranked tennis player Roger Federer recently taped a video message for the UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS global campaign. In the 30-second spot, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador talks about the terrible impact of HIV/AIDS on children.
A commitment to children
Mr. Federer became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in April 2006.I am honored to join the ranks of UNICEFs Goodwill Ambassadors, he said at his appointment ceremony. I have been lucky in life and able to pursue my passion for tennis since I was six years old. It's important to me to help the many children throughout the world who do not have the basic resources they need.
Mr. Federer's commitment to the well-being of children was clear even before his appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador. In 2003, he established the Roger Federer Foundation to help children in need, primarily in South Africa. And in 2005, he helped organize an exhibition tournament to raise relief funds for UNICEF in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

This edition: Essence of Anthropology
Episode Details
Anthropology is the study of human beings, but to phrase the definition in these simple terms is to diminish the grand scope of this discipline overall. Anthropology delves deeply into every aspect of humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day. Its subject matter ranges from the exotic to the ordinary, from faraway tribes to the structure of the human foot. This lesson explains the four fields of anthropology, defines the concept of holism, and describes how anthropologists approach their subject matter from a holistic and comparative cross-cultural perspective in order to reach the broadest, most inclusive conclusions possible on their subject of interest. Each field – cultural, physical (biological), linguistic anthropology, and archaeology – is described, and situational material is included to illustrate how each field functions and interconnects with the others. Subfields to the four major fields, such as forensics and paleoanthropology, are introduced and discussed, and the concept that humans are biocultural beings because of the simultaneous adaptations of our biology with culture is illustrated. The lesson also introduces the student to the way anthropologists carry out their analyses through rigorous fieldwork and participant observation in order to create the ethnographies that describe humans cross-culturally. Applied anthropology, sometimes referred to as the fifth subfield of anthropology, is introduced.
