Stories by VICTOR NZE
Tourism has vast potential to transform lives, mainly in terms of job creation and human development. The African continent welcomed 65 million visitors, in 2013 alone. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) projects that Africa's international tourist arrivals will increase to 134 million, an increase of 106 per cent by 2030.
In the recent issue of the Africa Tourism Monitor, a joint publication produced annually by the African Development Bank (AfDB), New York University's Africa House and the Africa Travel Association (ATA), the focus is on Africa's greatest asset: its people.
According to the World Bank between 1990 and 2012, the number of visitors to the African continent increased by 300 per cent. The top five African countries for international arrivals in 2013 were, in descending order: Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. Most international tourist arrivals come from Europe, with Asia and the Pacific in second place, and North American tourists ranking third.
Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe's Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry and ATA President (2012-2014) writes, in the 2014 publication, "If you look at the heart of Africa, the continent's greatest tourism assets are its people, its humanity, and its warm hospitality. The African tradition of hospitality, eagerness to learn and share knowledge, zeal to contribute, desire for peace, and enthusiasm to relate meaningfully to other cultures, are all positive attributes which indicate deep humaneness."
According to ATA, a vast land mass covering 30.2 million square kilometres, made up of 54 countries, "Africa is one of the world's most dynamic travel destinations for tourists seeking adventure, exceptional cultural exchange and heritage tours, diverse culinary experiences, unparalleled safari and wildlife opportunities, first-class beaches and a wealth of investment opportunities."
"Tourism, as one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors, has tremendous potential to boost inclusive economic growth across the continent and reduce poverty. The tourism sector has a vital role to play, opening up lesser developed rural areas, creating job opportunities, and engaging local communities to enlist their participation," Charles Leyeka Lufumpa, Director of the Statistics Department at the AfDB, writes in the foreword.
At present, Africa's tourism industry directly employs about 8.2 million people, representing 5.3 per cent of the workforce in North Africa and 2.4% in Sub-Saharan Africa. World Bank estimates, the tourism industry could increase 3.8 million jobs over the next 10 years. With the number of youths in Africa set to double by 2045, tourism has the potential to create much-needed stable jobs.
However, challenges to developing the tourism sector remain. Tourism infrastructure is still lacking, making travel within the continent a challenge. In addition, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has had a remarkable impact on travel and tourism across the continent. The Africa tourism industry is experiencing severe consequences across the continent in the form of economic losses, cancelled flights and hotel bookings, closed borders and negative perceptions.

Obstetric anesthesia refers to peripartum anesthetic and analgesic activities performed during labor and vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, removal of retained placenta, and postpartum tubal ligation.
In February 2016, American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Obstetric Anesthesia and the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology updated guidelines on obstetric anesthesia. Following are its major recommendations:-
Perianesthetic Evaluation and Preparation
History and Physical Examination
- Conduct a focused history and physical examination before providing anesthesia care.
- This should include, but is not limited to, a maternal health and anesthetic history, a relevant obstetric history, a baseline blood pressure measurement, and an airway, heart, and lung examination
- When a neuraxial anesthetic is planned or placed, examine the patient's back.
- Recognition of significant anesthetic or obstetric risk factors should encourage consultation between the obstetrician and the anesthesiologist.
- A communication system should be in place to encourage the early and ongoing contact between obstetric providers, anesthesiologists, and other members of the multidisciplinary team.
Intrapartum Platelet Count
- The anesthesiologist's decision to order or require a platelet count should be individualized and based on a patient's history (e.g., preeclampsia with severe features), physical examination, and clinical signs.*
- A routine platelet count is not necessary in the healthy parturient.
*A specific platelet count predictive of neuraxial anesthetic complications has not been determined.
Blood Type and Screen
- A routine blood cross-match is not necessary for healthy and uncomplicated parturients for vaginal or operative delivery.
- The decision whether to order or require a blood type and screen or cross-match should be based on maternal history, anticipated hemorrhagic complications (e.g., placenta accreta in a patient with placenta previa and previous uterine surgery), and local institutional policies.
Perianesthetic Recording of Fetal Heart Rate Patterns
- Fetal heart rate patterns should be monitored by a qualified individual before and after administration of neuraxial analgesia for labor.
- Continuous electronic recording of fetal heart rate patterns may not be necessary in every clinical setting and may not be possible during placement of a neuraxial catheter.†
†American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 106: Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring: Nomenclature, interpretation, and general management principles. Obstet Gynecol 2009; 114:192–202.
Aspiration Prevention
Clear Liquids
- The oral intake of moderate amounts of clear liquids may be allowed for uncomplicated laboring patients.
- The uncomplicated patient undergoing elective surgery may have clear liquids up to 2 h before induction of anesthesia.
- Examples of clear liquids include, but are not limited to, water, fruit juices without pulp, carbonated beverages, clear tea, black coffee, and sports drinks.
- The volume of liquid ingested is less important than the presence of particulate matter in the liquid ingested.
- Laboring patients with additional risk factors for aspiration (e.g., morbid obesity, diabetes mellitus, and difficult airway) or patients at increased risk for operative delivery (e.g., nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern) may have further restrictions of oral intake, determined on a case-by-case basis.
- Solid foods should be avoided in laboring patients.
- The patient undergoing elective surgery (e.g., scheduled cesarean delivery or postpartum tubal ligation) should undergo a fasting period for solids of 6 to 8 h depending on the type of food ingested (e.g., fat content)
Antacids, H2-receptor Antagonists, and Metoclopramide
- Before surgical procedures (e.g., cesarean delivery and postpartum tubal ligation), consider the timely administration of nonparticulate antacids, histamine (H2) receptor antagonists, and/or metoclopramide for aspiration prophylaxis.
Anesthetic Care for Labor and Vaginal Delivery
Timing of Neuraxial Analgesia and Outcome of Labor
- Provide patients in early labor (i.e., less than 5 cm dilation) the option of neuraxial analgesia when this service is available.
- Offer neuraxial analgesia on an individualized basis regardless of cervical dilation.
- Reassure patients that the use of neuraxial analgesia does not increase the incidence of cesarean delivery.
Neuraxial Analgesia and Trial of Labor after Prior Cesarean Delivery
- Offer neuraxial techniques to patients attempting vaginal birth after previous cesarean delivery.
- For these patients, consider early placement of a neuraxial catheter that can be used later for labor analgesia or for anesthesia in the event of operative delivery.
Analgesia/Anesthetic Techniques
Early Insertion of a Neuraxial (i.e., Spinal or Epidural) Catheter for Complicated Parturients
- Consider early insertion of a neuraxial catheter for obstetric (e.g., twin gestation or preeclampsia) or anesthetic indications (e.g., anticipated difficult airway or obesity) to reduce the need for general anesthesia if an emergent procedure becomes necessary.
- In these cases, the insertion of a neuraxial catheter may precede the onset of labor or a patient's request for labor analgesia.
Continuous Infusion Epidural Analgesia
- Continuous epidural infusion may be used for effective analgesia for labor and delivery.
- When a continuous epidural infusion of local anesthetic is selected, an opioid may be added to reduce the concentration of local anesthetic, improve the quality of analgesia, and minimize motor block.
Analgesic Concentrations
- Use dilute concentrations of local anesthetics with opioids to produce as little motor block as possible.
Single-injection Spinal Opioids with or without Local Anesthetics
- Single-injection spinal opioids with or without local anesthetics may be used to provide effective, although time-limited, analgesia for labor when spontaneous vaginal delivery is anticipated.
- If labor duration is anticipated to be longer than the analgesic effects of the spinal drugs chosen, or if there is a reasonable possibility of operative delivery, then consider a catheter technique instead of a single-injection technique.
- A local anesthetic may be added to a spinal opioid to increase duration and improve quality of analgesia.
Pencil-point Spinal Needles
- Use pencil-point spinal needles instead of cutting-bevel spinal needles to minimize the risk of postdural puncture headache.
Combined Spinal–Epidural Analgesia
- If labor duration is anticipated to be longer than the analgesic effects of the spinal drugs chosen, or if there is a reasonable possibility of operative delivery, then consider a catheter technique instead of a single-injection technique.
- Combined spinal–epidural techniques may be used to provide effective and rapid onset of analgesia for labor.
Patient-controlled Epidural Analgesia (PCEA)
- PCEA may be used to provide an effective and flexible approach for the maintenance of labor analgesia.
- The use of PCEA may be preferable to fixed-rate continuous infusion epidural analgesia for administering reduced dosages of local anesthetics.
- PCEA may be used with or without a background infusion.
Removal of Retained Placenta
Anesthetic Techniques
- In general, there is no preferred anesthetic technique for removal of retained placenta.
- If an epidural catheter is in place and the patient is hemodynamically stable, consider providing epidural anesthesia.
- Assess hemodynamic status before administering neuraxial anesthesia.
- Consider aspiration prophylaxis.
- Titrate sedation/analgesia carefully due to the potential risks of respiratory depression and pulmonary aspiration during the immediate postpartum period.
- In cases involving major maternal hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability, general anesthesia with an endotracheal tube may be considered in preference to neuraxial anesthesia.
Nitroglycerin for Uterine Relaxation
- Nitroglycerin may be used as an alternative to terbutaline sulfate or general endotracheal anesthesia with halogenated agents for uterine relaxation during removal of retained placental tissue.
- Initiating treatment with incremental doses of intravenous (IV) or sublingual (i.e., tablet or metered dose spray) nitroglycerin may be done to sufficiently relax the uterus.
Anesthetic Care for Cesarean Delivery
Equipment, Facilities, and Support Personnel
- Equipment, facilities, and support personnel available in the labor and delivery operating suite should be comparable to those available in the main operating suite.
- Resources for the treatment of potential complications (e.g., failed intubation, inadequate analgesia/anesthesia, hypotension, respiratory depression, local anesthetic systemic toxicity, pruritus, and vomiting) should also be available in the labor and delivery operating suite.
- Appropriate equipment and personnel should be available to care for obstetric patients recovering from neuraxial or general anesthesia.
General, Epidural, Spinal, or Combined Spinal–Epidural Anesthesia
- The decision to use a particular anesthetic technique for cesarean delivery should be individualized, based on anesthetic, obstetric, or fetal risk factors (e.g., elective vs. emergency), the preferences of the patient, and the judgment of the anesthesiologist.
- Uterine displacement (usually left displacement) should be maintained until delivery regardless of the anesthetic technique used.
- Consider selecting neuraxial techniques in preference to general anesthesia for most cesarean deliveries.
- If spinal anesthesia is chosen, use pencil-point spinal needles instead of cutting-bevel spinal needles.
- For urgent cesarean delivery, an indwelling epidural catheter may be used as an alternative to initiation of spinal or general anesthesia.
- General anesthesia may be the most appropriate choice in some circumstances (e.g., profound fetal bradycardia, ruptured uterus, severe hemorrhage, severe placental abruption, umbilical cord prolapse, and preterm footling breech).
IV Fluid Preloading or Coloading
- IV fluid preloading or coloading may be used to reduce the frequency of maternal hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
- Do not delay the initiation of spinal anesthesia in order to administer a fixed volume of IV fluid.
Ephedrine or Phenylephrine
- Either IV ephedrine or phenylephrine may be used for treating hypotension during neuraxial anesthesia.
- In the absence of maternal bradycardia, consider selecting phenylephrine because of improved fetal acid–base status in uncomplicated pregnancies.
Neuraxial Opioids for Postoperative Analgesia
- For postoperative analgesia after neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery, consider selecting neuraxial opioids rather than intermittent injections of parenteral opioids.
Postpartum Tubal Ligation
- Before a postpartum tubal ligation, the patient should have no oral intake of solid foods within 6 to 8 h of the surgery, depending on the type of food ingested (e.g., fat content) .
- Consider aspiration prophylaxis.
- Both the timing of the procedure and the decision to use a particular anesthetic technique (i.e., neuraxial vs. general) should be individualized, based on anesthetic and obstetric risk factors (e.g., blood loss) and patient preferences.
- Consider selecting neuraxial techniques in preference to general anesthesia for most postpartum tubal ligations.
- Be aware that gastric emptying will be delayed in patients who have received opioids during labor.
- Be aware that an epidural catheter placed for labor may be more likely to fail with longer post-delivery time intervals.
- If a postpartum tubal ligation is to be performed before the patient is discharged from the hospital, do not attempt the procedure at a time when it might compromise other aspects of patient care on the labor and delivery unit.‡
‡The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has indicated that postpartum tubal ligation "should be considered an urgent surgical procedure given the consequences of a missed procedure and the limited time frame in which it may be performed." ACOG Committee Opinion No. 530: Access to postpartum sterilization. Obstet Gynecol 2012; 120:212–5.
Management of Obstetric and Anesthetic Emergencies
Resources for Management of Hemorrhagic Emergencies
- Institutions providing obstetric care should have resources available to manage hemorrhagic emergencies.
- In an emergency, type-specific or O-negative blood is acceptable.
- In cases of intractable hemorrhage, when banked blood is not available or the patient refuses banked blood, consider intraoperative cell salvage if available.
Equipment for Management of Airway Emergencies
- Labor and delivery units should have personnel and equipment readily available to manage airway emergencies consistent with the NGC summary of the ASA guideline Practice guidelines for management of the difficult airway, to include a pulse oximeter and carbon dioxide detector.
- Basic airway management equipment should be immediately available during the provision of neuraxial analgesia.
- Portable equipment for difficult airway management should be readily available in the operative area of labor and delivery units.
- A preformulated strategy for intubation of the difficult airway should be in place.
- When tracheal intubation has failed, consider ventilation with mask and cricoid pressure or with a supraglottic airway device (e.g., laryngeal mask airway, intubating laryngeal mask airway, and laryngeal tube) for maintaining an airway and ventilating the lungs.
- If it is not possible to ventilate or awaken the patient, a surgical airway should be performed.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
- Basic and advanced life-support equipment should be immediately available in the operative area of labor and delivery units.
- If cardiac arrest occurs, initiate standard resuscitative measures.
- Uterine displacement (usually left displacement) should be maintained.
- If maternal circulation is not restored within 4 min, cesarean delivery should be performed by the obstetrics team.

Movie Review
By: Henry J. Fromage (Three Beers) –
The Final Member is a pun. This is a documentary about a penis museum, you see, and when I realized that, I was thoroughly amused, because deep down I'm 12 years old. This movie is about more than schlongs, though, but never fear, there's more dicks than you can shake a… dick at. If you've always wondered what a whale willy looks like, The Final Member has got you covered.
What a dork.
It primarily follows the eccentric Icelander Siggi Hjartarson, proprietor of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, who needs only one specimen to complete his collection of mammalian phalli- a human wiener. His quest will introduce him to two even more eccentric candidates- 90 year old Icelandic explorer and Don Juan extraordinaire Pall Arason and well-endowed American Tom Mitchell, who has dreams of making his "Elmo" the most famous cock in the world.
A Toast
While The Final Member's semi-salacious hook will bring folks in, this is a human interest documentary first and foremost, and directors Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math know to crib from the best. Nearly everything style-wise brings Errol Morris to mind, from the beautifully crisp digital photography to the austere fly on the wall subject + camera interview style to Rob Simonsen's very Philip Glass-indebted score. This comes off more as homage than thievery, though, and there's no denying the effectiveness of these well-honed techniques.
All of the window-dressing in the world doesn't cover for a boring subject, of course, but luckily Bekhor and Math found not one, but three fascinating characters. Siggi's an odd guy, who obviously enjoys flaunting convention and destigmatizing a perfectly natural subject, but for all his off-putting frankness, he's met his match with Arason and Mitchell, who are both quite proud of their beef missiles and their johnson accomplishments.
Which include superpowers, because of course.
The documentary takes a big turn when Mitchell, to ensure the wish he expressed when we first met him, "I felt ever since I was a kid, I didn't want my penis to go to waste when I die", is fulfilled, offers to have his one-eyed snake surgically removed and donated before he dies. As the focus of the film shifts to him, it becomes a journey into the frontiers of the male psyche. Freud wouldn't have had a field day just with the decision, though, but also with Arason's reluctance to donate when he realizes his tallywacker is shrinking in his advanced age, or the conquering, legacy-obsession, and exhibitionist themes each of these men's desires touch on to some degree. This is the best snapshot of male anxiety and megalomania this side of the Jersey Shore.
Beer Two
Where The Final Member unfortunately departs from the Errol Morris model is its occasional, highly unnecessary attempts to manufacture a little extra drama. The "legal length" angle (based on a folktale where a dissatisfied wife insists on five inches being the minimum standard for wangdom) is a purely artificial limit, and no matter how much the film tries to imply otherwise, we all know Siggi isn't going to toss Arason's purple headed yogurt slinger in the trash if it measures in at four and a half.
Beers Three
This movie isn't for the queasy, with live and dead bed snake-related squirm-inducing moments aplenty. Other small missteps, like the editing-created suspense as to which person passes away at the end, or that ridiculous final shot, also may necessitate a stiff drink to get through.
The Final Member is a fascinating multi-character study that just happens to revolve around meat hammers. Now, excuse me as I'm off to plan Iceland's first Yonilogical Museum.
I've got some ideas for the doors…
Last Call
Stick around for some previews of Elmo- Adventures of a Superhero Penis during the credits.

Working in retirement
It's time to look forward
to a retirement you'll love
Retirement benefits from private pensions and the state pension can be claimed even if you choose to continue working. More and more baby boomers plan to take advantage of this by working past state pension age – some because they want to and others because
they need to.
The good news is that as the supply of workers begins to decrease in the near future, workers over 50 will be needed and valued for their knowledge, experience and talent.
The days when your employer dictated when you must stop working are no more. Reaching state pension age doesn't mean you have to give up work. In most roles, you can now:
- Choose to keep on working while claiming your state pension
- Delay taking your pension and get a lump sum or higher weekly amount in the future
- Benefit from government schemes and incentives to help you find work
So whether you see working in your retirement as an opportunity to reinvent yourself or as a chance to bring in some extra cash, explore the options below and find out what works for you.

Global Warming
The latest trend in these days is about the study of the environment. There are many aspects of the environment that you can study. The top problem these days is called the global warming. This name indicates that global mean whole world and warming mean heating. This can be said that the earth is getting warmer and the increase of the climate temperature is started. This is done due to the green house gases.
Green house gas: the CO2 or the carbon dioxide is called the greenhouse gas. This is because the green house houses are made in a way that they will only allow the light to come in and do not let the heat to go out. Global warming is done, but to increase in the greenhouse gas. The increase in this gas is due to higher burning of the fuels and other pollutions. The CO2 will not let the light to reflect and go your and make an environment which will heat the world more and more till there is a drastic change in the temperature of the earth.
The drastic change will make the big changes in the environment because when the temperature of the oceans will rise a few degrees, there will be an increase of the sea level and the glaciers will melt. The world will not be like it is now. This is just like much extinction in the past. To avoid it the US must make reforms to make things greener and avoid excessive use of the fuels.

Hi Yaren,
first, congratulations to your Fulbright! I hope you'll enjoy your time over here in the US.
To the others who asked questions on the scholarship: I am a Fulbrighter from Germany, and from what I have heard from a lot of fellow Fulbrighters is, that the program differs by country. So I have heard that in many nations, the scholarship lasts for two years covering all costs (living costs according to the city you are located at; tuition fees; health insurance; the flight; etc.); in other countries (e.g. Germany) the scholarship covers only 1 year of studies (and is in the process of being changed again to a lump sum); a friend from Pakistan on the other hand receives 5 years of PhD-studies including living costs in NY; then, again, a fellow Fulbrighter from the Netherlands has received only (I believe) something like $12,000 as a lump sum. ... So the best way to find out what is the case in your country is by reading the websites of your regional fulbright office.
The 2-year home-rule applies for all fulbrighters; even if you married an American, there is almost no way of getting out of it. (In fact, the only way I heard to get around it, is to work as a diplomat.) I am doing at the moment a Masters, and I am about to apply for an econ-PhD for next year. So, it is possible to shift the 2-years home-rule a bit further down the road. After the studies, you also have the possibility to do an OPT (optional practical training) in the US of up to (I believe) 1 year. After your OPT, there is however no other way than going back home for the 2 years. (I have heard that for EU-citizens, the EU is fine and it does not need to be Germany specifically... not 100% sure about that, though).
The placement is done by the IIE after you hand in your list of preferred schools. However, in our case in Germany, it was possible to apply on your own to other schools, too. Since the IIE sends out only one application, there is a chance that you get rejected (in particular if it is a very competitive program you are trying to get in), and if there are no more open deadlines for new applications, you may even lose your Fulbright-scholarship since you couldn't get placed. (I heard of a guy over a mailing-list to whom that happened!) If you also apply to another schools on your own (as I did to have a backup), we needed to let our local Fulbright-commission know about it. If you want to enter a program that costs considerably more than the school which was chosen for you, you may need to contribute to the additional costs on your own (or with another scholarship from the school).
@Yaren: where did you finally apply to?

"Oh memory, mortal enemy of my rest! " MIGUEL DE CERVANTES
By Patric Laneuville Châlons*. Email: email@example.com (SUBJECT: CONTACT PATRIC)
"Memento" is an astonishing delirium, a mistake made by the editor, a dejà vu type antithesis, an inverted puzzle, an invented brilliance under the effect of psychotropics (?), an interactive mind game, a bi-directional film: The viewer converts into yet another character in the movie, being the one who assembles the story, bumping elbows with the protagonists in order to achieve their objective. The film has two special features that amalgamate an extraordinary work, on the lines of oropeles (a Golden Globe and two Oscar nominations). The first is nothing more than the incredible originality of its approach to the subject:
When we go towards the future there are infinite possibilities, like the paths that secondary rivers take, but when we go backwards, taking the water of time upriver, we find a lone strand, a sole possibility. (2) In "Memento" one inverts the principle of causality and tells the consequences first and the causes from which they originated last. And in the middle, the viewer's brain is brewing in order to deduce the "becauses" having before them the "whys". The solution to the hieroglyphic is found in the last scene, which is the first, being that the film is backwards, this is to say that it's like the brainteaser mind games that we buy at the newsstands. The last will be the first, first tears and then the storm. We find ourselves before a singular psychotic thriller bordering on science-fiction, with an amazing soundtrack by David Julián ("The Prestige" 2006), perfect photography (Wally Pfister), based on a story whose branches masterfully intertwine by the director's brother, Jonathan Nolan. The brother, Christopher, immortalized himself in the eyes of filmmakers upon finishing the filming: He had just created a cult object. Without digital tricks, if the film were a game, it would be without doubt a Lego construction, whose assembly is totally polyhydric ("How grand film is") and is the key to his success. If it were a geometric form, it could be represented by a twisted wire with many curls. It had already been done before but Tarantino took a bloody axe and cut into pieces the chronological order of "Pulp Fiction", in an amazing way: Since then, until "Memento" we hadn't seen anyone do it with such brilliance. Both, indispensable contributions to the history of film: If it hadn't been those two in 1994 and 2000, other geniuses of the future, sooner or later, would have had to shoot the films.
As I said in the beginning, it is the viewer who really has to assemble the film in their mind, so we don't discard the idea of some smart guy asking the production company for his part of the takings. And maybe, the idea occurred to him because in the movie, the (few) protagonists move around in the sordid underworld, with guns, in a lawless world, marginal, of dilapidated houses in the outskirts where one settles their scores away from the cops. "Get rid of him" is the order. Betrayal and loneliness are the natural spaces where the different characters evolve, with a quick shot and few words, with no scruples to lie, rip off, blackmail, get revenge, leave whoever to see "how the flowers grow from below before his footsteps grow cold". However, in almost all of them, between the turbulent tangle that defines the worst of the human condition, something holy comes out, something of the best of our condition, that in principle we do have, right?: (The guy in the motel that just ripped him off: "The next time you pay, ask for a receipt". Lenny tells Sammy Yankies's wife what she wants to hear…). The film is an incredibly strange story of revenge in which you already know if one gets consumed, and how, even who. Disconcerting. A strange sensation.
Here's an example: Let's put the microscope on a simple stunning detail in the plot, dedicated especially to the people who say that "Memento" wouldn't be worth anything if it had been narrated in a conventional chronological order. Sammy Yankies' wife, a diabetic, decides desperately because of her husband's sickness to solve the situation once and for all. How? I won't say in case you haven't seen the work of art but I will say that the same method of resolution is, at the same time, the final proof that the situation is indefensible. Hyper-ingenious is a word that doesn't do enough. Guys, it's that sometimes neurons, more than make a synapses, they make fireworks. To put the finishing touches on the work Jonathan Nolan does a double somersault, since the "bad guy" uses what happened… so that Lenny believes that… wait!! If you have committed the crime of not seeing "Memento" this is the time to redeem yourself. Well, twice is obligated, but don't worry: The feelings will be different. The first time you will thread the needle and the second time you can reinforce the sewing, and even make some beautiful stitch work. Without saying anything substantial, more honey on his lips, another example: Who killed Jimmy Grans, Natalie's boyfriend? It turns out to be the last person a civilized and experienced spectator could imagine. You already know, you have to see it.
To finish off, a recommendation and two silly details: If you see the movie at home, do it all at once, or if you can't, make a scratch in the part where you stop your visualizing. If you don't do it like that it's materially impossible to know where you are because of the inverse way that the events are narrated. Here's the first detail: The big bosses, the big cheese that rules from up there, that ones who suggested doing the critique backwards, I guess it was to be assholes, excuse me if there are kids reading this. That's just the reason that I wrote what you just read and said, simply: "If you apply the inverse of something backwards… what would it look like?" The second: "Can you imagine that it was all just a big mistake in the editing room? Would we have the look of idiots, one similar to the face that we had while watching "Memento?"

|Habeas Crocodylus
Habeas Crocodylus is Justice Kemal Bokhary's fourth cartoon law book. Like his previous books, this one covers topics of interest to lawyers and members of the general public. Topics as diverse as animal rights, democracy, the environment, language, rule of law and socio-economic rights, to the judicial protection of personal liberty by the writ of habeas corpus are addressed with the Judge's characteristic wit and humour, but always to make points meant to be taken seriously. And like his previous books, it is important the topics covered in this book are made available to young readers.
" [Mr Justice Bokhary] has written five books, with this his sixth, all for the same purpose — to explain the law and its principles with humour and wisdom to non-lawyers, especially young people, so they would come to know and love the law. I hope you will read his works and come to know and love the man, and his Crocky. "

In July this past year I bought the Magic Flight Lauch Box portable dry herb vaporizer. I dare to state that I have acquired some experience and I choose to share what I discovered so far. Evidently this little device is developed in an easy to use way, there are many tips that can really improve you "hit". Simultaneously my tips could save you money as you will be able to push out every ingredient that is in your herbs.
The way to push the battery I am right handed. If you are left-handed you'll want to reverse my recommendations over here. Hold the MFLB vaporizer in the right hand. Begin to exhale as deep as humanly possible and at the same time you ought to begin to push the battery in. At this moment you need to be able to see the heater working. You should be able to see an orange colored little light in the chamber illuminating. After about three seconds you should begin to see appear a little mist.
How to take a breath: It is important to look at the screen as you want to see a pretty thick vapor mist. This might take about 3-5 seconds.
It's critical for you to start to learn to judge the length of time it will take before you precious vapor is coming out of the back of the MFLB. As well you don't want your herbs to get burned. So, you have to check it, what time it takes before it gets burned. In all my findings it turned out that the Magic Flight Launch Box produces the most vapor when holding the vaporizer horizontally. The second you commence to inhale, you should know that you don't want to breathe in too fast and too much. I suggest for you to breathe in at a speed of 20% of how you usually breathe in. The simplest way to measure whether or not your inhaling speed is too high or too low, is by sensing the heat on your tongue. Too fast = too hot, too slow = too cold. In a certain way you can even think of it in this way.
Make an effort to think about the hot/cold ration as if it were the same as to a THC/O2 ratio. Try to keep the airflow at a consistent level. You need it to be warm, but not too warm because this will cause you to cough. A very hot airflow will give you a very unpleasant dry throat. Simultaneously, if you go not fast enough, the vapor will escape from the back. That is something you wish to stay away from, isn't it?
Go on to inhale until your lungs are a little bit fuller than 50% of your lung capacity. As soon as you reach that level, let go of the battery. Concurrently, breathe as quickly as you could so that the herbs inside the chamber will be spun around. This process will make sure that the natural herbs will be warmed consistently. Be sure that the herbs are in the midst of the trench. Shake the vaporizer slightly in order to make sure this is the case. It's always feasible that part of the herbs get stuck. At that time open the lid and give it a tiny little push with your fingertips. And close it up again. Now you must to reduce your inhaling speed to even 50%. This makes sure that the trench can cool down at a normal rate and at the same time this makes sure that if any THC inside the chamber is often collected. Go on, until your lungs are fully full. Store your breathe provided that possible.
Now it's time for you to release the pressure. Do it little by little and consistently.
I have been working with stalks too. To use them you should cut them up to modest chunks. Arrange them in the trench and off you go. Remember that you have to heat these stalks longer; 7-10 seconds. At the same time you do not want to burn them; so look out.
You shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that your vapor is just not doing its job as you aren't seeing it as smoke. It is important to observe this when breathing in. The moment you begin to inhale slowly, you will be able to see the vapor spinning inside the trench and the screen. The vapor must also leave at a single central point. Haha, you need to practice on this one. The easiest way to do this is by exhaling so much that it actually starts to produce a vacuum inside your lung area. You'll need to stop your the airway with the back of your tongue. And now comes the key; you will have to make a very little opening with the tip of your tongue.
Don't put a lot ingredients inside your trench. It'll function, but you won't be able to burn the ingredients consistently.
Magic Flight Launch Box Vaporizer Unboxing
You will need to clear your trench now and than. Accomplished with Vodka. And if you do, afterwards you will have to load it up with your herbs again. This will supply you with a superb head spinning ride. But don't use too much Vodka, which can make the wood wet. The wood might start to work and will gradually block your screen, which are sure that the holding chamber is not closed properly anymore. That would be a shame. Oh, this will not be something once and for all; as soon as the wood dries out again, it'll get its original shape back again.
While using Magic Flight Launch Box it is important to know that you should grind the herbs as fine as possible. This will aid the trench to burn through it promptly and it will also require you to inhale at a faster pace. But the mist within the screen will explain what your inhaling speed ought to be.
Johnny has been in the field of Magic Flight Launch Box for a long time and maintains a website about Portable Vaporizer where you can get answers to the rest of your questions.

Will.i. am and Coca-Cola's "Ekocycle" initiative is about to get a lot more crowded. At a private-launch event on Wednesday night, the Black Eyed Peas musician and the beverage giant announced the addition of Levi Strauss, Case-Mate, MCM, and RVCA to their environmental campaign, which seeks to educate consumers about recycling and the role of purchasing decisions within a larger social context. The four brands will join Beats by Dr. Dre and New Era, which signed up when Ekocycle was first announced in July.
Ekocycle, according to Bea Perez, vice president and sustainability officer at Coca-Cola, is on a mission to boost recycling's cachet by imbuing recycled products with a hipper, youth-oriented image. More specifically, the campaign aims to identify products, including plastic bottles and aluminum cans, that its partners can repurpose as content for high-end lifestyle products.
The Ekocycle initiative wants to boost recycling's cachet by imbuing recycled products with a hipper, youth-oriented image.
The Ekocycle initiative wants to boost recycling's cachet by imbuing recycled products with a hipper, youth-oriented image.
The Beats by Dr. Dre Eckocycle headphones ($349.95), for instance, comprise 31 percent recycled polyethylene terephthalate (or PET) plastic, the same stuff that soda bottles are made of. Two caps ($30-$45) from New Era promise a blend of traditional polyester fabric and recycled plastic. Case-Mate's Ekocycle "Barely There" case ($35), now available at Best Buy, is molded from 100 percent recycled PET. And in April, Levi's will unveil a limited-edition version of its "Waste<Less" jeans ($128), each of which consists an average of eight recycled plastic bottles.
"Waste is only waste if we waste it," Will.i.am says in a statement. "We need to value the things we consume and become a more sustainable society that is moving towards a world with zero waste."
Other collaborations and products, ranging from everyday products to luxury wares, will be announced next year. Coca-Cola has also pledged a minimum of $1 million over the next five years in support of recycling and community-improvement organizations. This donation, the company says, is in addition to—and separate from—its ongoing commitment to give 1 percent of operating profits to charity through The Coca-Cola Foundation.

There is a positive correlation between the age of the advisor and the age of the client. I have few clients who are millenianals, but many who are roughly my age. And while I spend a lot of time helping them massage their retirement portfolios, one of the issues that surfaces frequently are the taxes that have to be paid. Too much of Americans' retirement assets are contained within their IRAs, 401(k)s and other qualified plans. Like their health care, their retirement is almost totally under the control of the Federal Government.
* Where they can invest
* When they can take out the proceeds
* When they must take the proceeds
* How much they must take
* And, what the taxes will be
Combine that with the regulations around Social Security and the rules of their pensions (if they have one) and retirement planning isn't about getting the most out of your assets, but rather how to get penalized the least from the Federal Government.
Perhaps I am being a little overdramatic; but all too often I see situations where clients would be much better off if they had more non-qualified investments and pension strategies when retirement time comes around. That's why using Index Universal Life makes so much sense to successful younger clients who are looking to put away money out of the reach of the tax man with no risk in a down market and nice results when the S&P performs.
Imagine a Roth IRA (after-tax money going in, but coming out tax-free), but not part of the Government program;
* No restriction on how much you can contribute
* No tax on the appreciation
* Interest credited up to 13% when the S&P is cookin'
* Minimal cost to guarantee no losses
* Tax free income in retirement
* And, tax free distribution of whatever is left at death
I should be talking from experience, but unfortunately, when I should have been doing this, they weren't available. They require discipline and an awareness that life is fleeting. I've got lots of good memories, but damn, how time flies.
Recently an advisor associate in California penned this next paragraph to share with me and others. He was talking to us as financial planners who take ourselves seriously. This is what he said:
"You really should offer these plans to your younger clients who are trying to put away annual savings for retirement. We just showed one to a 42 year young business man. He will be investing about $30k per year to build a retirement account for himself. Some of that will go into a qualified plan but we suggested he put $10,000 per year into the insurance strategy. We minimized the insurance to the legal minimum but still it gave him over $1/4 million to start. By the time he is 65 he will have put away $240k and if the S&P only averages 6.8% he will have over $450k in his account and will be able to take over $27k per year tax free in retirement. With safe money interest rates so low and unlikely to rise in the foreseeable future, and the stock market bouncing every which way like a football landing on a hard surface, clients are quickly appreciating the safety, efficiency and predictability of these plans."
