Fence Will Protect Wildlife Along Highway 3
August 18, 2016
The Government of Alberta is installing fencing along both sides of Highway 3 near Crowsnest Pass to protect animals along a critical wildlife corridor.
The province has been working with environmental groups on a plan to reduce the number of wildlife collisions and improve the safety of motorists in this area of Crowsnest and Emerald Lakes.
"Improving traffic safety while protecting wildlife along our highways is a win-win and shows the value of working with our partners on such critical projects. This is the kind of collaboration our government will continue to engage in to come up with made-in-Alberta solutions for Alberta issues."
- Brian Mason, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure
"Highway 3 through the Crowsnest Pass is one of the most important links for wildlife in the Yellowstone to Yukon region. This fencing project is an exciting first step in ensuring bighorn sheep, grizzly bears and other iconic wildlife can move up and down the Rocky Mountains safely."
- Stephen Legault, Program Director, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative
Other groups involved are:
• Anatum Ecological Consulting Ltd.
• Miistakis Institute
• Road Watch in the Pass
• Western Transportation Institute
• Volker Stevin
• Alberta Environment and Parks
Another nearby project on Highway 3 is underway to install a combination of new mesh and a protective five-metre-high wall on a 20-metre-high rock face to prevent rocks from falling onto the road. This $1.1-million project is replacing a barrier installed in 2012 and will require some lane closures and reduced speeds until it is completed later this year.

Wildlife Fence Facts
• Roughly 1,440 metres of wildlife fencing will be installed in four sections along Highway 3 near Crowsnest Lake and Emerald Lake.
• The 2.4-metre-high fence will be installed about nine metres from the shoulder of the road.
• The fence will include six "jump-outs," one-way ramps to allow animals that have jumped the fence to get back to the natural area, while preventing them from moving onto the road.
• The fencing will help direct animals under an existing bridge so they can safely cross under the highway.
• Animals are attracted to this location on Highway 3 because of adjacent lakes and road salt in the winter months.
• Signs warning motorists of potential wildlife activity and crossings at fence ends will be installed in the westbound direction.
• The total project cost will be about $280,000.
• Alberta Transportation, in consultation with its environmental partners, is looking at two additional stretches of Highway 3 as potential future locations for wildlife fencing.
• Similar fencing and wildlife underpasses have been built along Highway 1 in the Bow Valley region.
Falling Rock Protection Facts
• The most active rock-fall zone in this area is about 20 metres wide, but rock-fall issues extend for about 600 metres.
o The mesh net covers the entire 600-metre rock wall, anchored at the top of the face and ending just above ground level.
o The rock-fall barrier spans an area about 20 metres wide and about five metres high at the most active zone.
• Over the past few decades, large boulders fell, bounced and rolled onto Highway 3 in the active rock-fall area, creating safety issues for motorists. The largest may have been a desk-sized boulder in 2004 that stopped along the highway centre-line.
• The new design will replace the rock-fall barrier in the most active rock-fall zone.
• This design will be able to absorb rock-fall impacts with little or no maintenance other than easy removal of accumulated rocks on the uphill side of the barrier.

Get a Grip!
It's a constant battle. That inner voice that only you can hear. The critic that knows you so well. Knows what to whisper at just the right moment. To give you pause or stop you in your tracks. I constantly battle that bit@h! But she also makes me stronger. Makes me push through when I think I shouldn't or can't. So we live together in this tug of war...and sometimes I win.
Thursday I went to the lake with Bob, Tricia and Kate. We launched the boat and headed out in the heat in search of some cool water and breezy relief of the high 90 and 100 degree heat. Other folks had the same idea and our first spot was full of four other boats, so we moved to a different spot. Kate was all set to use the wake board. She is a master at popping up and hanging on. Forever! She hung on as Bob pulled her round and about and round again. Then it was Bobs turn. Tricia drove the boat, he fell, started again and was up. This felt totally comfortable to be in the boat, on the water. We grew up waterskiing and spending summers at the local lakes. About 37 years ago. So I kept thinking...I want to try it. And then the inner voice says, "you have never done this before." But I have skied many times. How hard can it be? Yeah, but that was a century ago. Um, so what? I said out loud, "I want to try." And they said "great." Instructions and encouragement given, I really didn't think about it until I was in the water, trying to figure out how to hang onto the board and the rope at the same time. What the heck are you doing? I am going to knee board! The first try was getting the feel of hanging on and getting up. Second try, the board nose dived. Kate the Great says "try moving back on the board". I say, "I'll try one more time guys." Scootched back on the board and yelled "hit it!" I knew I was going to do it. I hung on, edged back and inched my way up to my knees. God that felt great! Third. Time. Is. A. Charm. To sit on that board and ride around the lake was a kick in the face to that inner critic. You know the one...That voice that says you're too old, too young, to this or that. Flex those muscles of "you can do it. I will do it. Let the boat do the work, relax into the pull and just get a grip.
Also had this little man spend Friday night. He is thinking "you are so weird Papa!"
Got some inspiration...
And woke up to this beautiful sky this morning. Have a lovely week!

Mar 28, 2011Must-have for any Rays fan, but a pretty good read for any baseball fan too. The player profiles are very insightful, but it's the writing in the first half of the book that sets it apart. If you're scared there might be math, don't be - the analysis here is perfectly digestible.

Kim Jong-hyun, otherwise known as Jonghyun of South Korean pop group SHINee, has died after being found unconscious in an apartment on Monday (18 December).
The 27-year-old was found unresponsive and rushed to Konkuk University Hospital, where he later died. Yonhap News reported that Jonghyun, SHINee's main vocalist, was found at his residence in Cheongdam-dong in Seoul at 6pm Korean time, according a police briefing.
An object that looked like brown coal briquettes was burning on the frying pan, the police said. The police also said that Jonghyun's older sister had earlier made a report, saying, "It seems like he committed suicide."
In a later statement on Tuesday (19 December), the police ruled Jonghyun's death a suicide, and said there would be no autopsy at the family's request. A private funeral will be held on Thursday morning.
SHINee was formed by SM Entertainment in 2008, with Jonghyun, Minho, Key, Taemin and Onew making up the group. Having won numerous awards throughout the years, the group is sometimes referred to as the "Princes of K-Pop".
Jonghyun and the other members of SHINee, excluding Onew, were recently in Singapore for the Shilla Beauty Concert in November.

Jersey City police officer shot dead during armed robbery
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - An armed robber at a Jersey City Walgreens opened fire on police Sunday morning, killing one officer while he was still sitting in his squad car, officials said.
Officer Melvin Santiago was fatally shot in the head responding to a call at the 24-hour drug store just after 4 a.m., Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop told CBS New York.
Santiago and his partner had just pulled into the parking lot when the gunman unleashed a number of shots at them, Fulop said. Santiago was sitting in the passenger's seat.
The suspect was then killed in a shootout with other officers, and he was pronounced dead at the scene, Fulop said.
Santiago was pronounced dead at Jersey City Medical Center, where other officers were gathering Sunday morning, CBS New York reports.
"It is a tragic situation when any officer is killed in the line of duty," Fulop said. "Melvin was an officer who represented everything one would want to see in a police officer. I know the entire city's thoughts and prayers are with the Santiago family during this difficult time and we mourn together."
There was a massive police response to the robbery and subsequent shooting. Multiple SWAT teams, from the Hudson City Sheriff's Office and the Jersey City Police Department, swept the building.
Fulop said the suspect attacked an armed security guard inside the Walgreens and stole his handgun, which was then used to shoot Santiago.
Witnesses described what followed the shooting as a hostage situation inside the pharmacy. They said there were a number of employees and customers inside the building at the time. They were later ushered out of the building by armed guards and SWAT team members, witnesses said.
A man who lives across the street from the drugstore told CBS New York he heard eight to 10 shots fired.
"The gunman came out as police arrived," he said. "The gunman came out of the store and shot police, I believe."

Bishop Gorman has extended its shutout streak to 21 quarters.
The Gaels held one of the Southwest Division's better offenses scoreless Thursday night, beating Bonanza 63-0. The Bengals had less than 100 yards of offense before the fourth quarter.
"They have one of the better quarterbacks in the city and, of course, DaSean Martin," Bishop Gorman coach Tony Sanchez said. "So we weren't going in there thinking about the shutout to be honest. That was a good team to shut out."
Evan Zeger led the defensive effort and returned an interception for a touchdown. Anu Solomon threw three touchdown passes for Gorman and Nathen Starks rushed for two.
Bishop Gorman hosts Durango next week in its final regular season game of the season. So far, Desert Oasis is the only in-state opponent to score on Gorman. The Gaels won that game 56-6.
"The defense has done a great job," Sanchez said. "It is good, but the shutout isn't the goal. The goal is to win the game and obviously when you're doing that, you're going to win a lot of games."

Life insurance helps to protect you and your family if something happens to take away your earning power.
When setting up your SMSF it's important to know how much insurance cover you actually need to ensure members have enough. It's considering things like if you have a mortgage or any other loans, how much you spend on everyday expenses such as groceries, petrol and bills, and your children's education.
With so much to consider, it can be hard to know how much is enough. To make it easier for you there are insurance needs calculators available online to guide you. The calculators use your personal and financial details to help you work out how much Death, Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) and Income Protection Insurance you may need.
To get a better understanding of how much cover he needs, Sam uses an assessment.
In the calculator Sam enters his:
The calculator provides Sam with a comparison of his existing Death, TPD and Income Protection cover and the calculated cover he needs. He's surprised by the significant gap between his current cover and the amount he needs to provide for his family if something unexpected happens.
The summary shows Sam that when selecting insurance cover for the SMSF, he and Haley need to look at more comprehensive options to protect their family and their lifestyle in the future.

Cheatin' uh? WordPress Error Message
Some of you might not be able to relate to this…..yet, but anyway:
So there I am, minding my own business just registering a new taxonomy in the BossnotBoss and when I go populate it, WordPress reaches out and slaps me with the least helpful error message in the universe: Cheatin' uh?
I reacted with the mind of a normal sane person and calmly threw my computer out the window (which wasn't open at the time). Once I cooled off, I went to glue my computer back together and I used paper mache substitutes for the pieces I couldn't find. Fired up the internet machine and tried again only find the "Cheatin' uh?" error seemed to have taken a permanent residence in my WP backend; this is when I thought to myself, "Am I cheating? hmmm." Ultimately reaching the conclusion that I wasn't and WordPress was simply on the blob.
After some research I learned that this damn thing is happening all the time all over the place and if it hasn't happened to you, your WP site is probably really boring.
One solution that seemed to be very popular was that you should only use lower-case letters when registering the name of your taxonomy, but it should be noted that my research shows this error message can happen for a number of reasons which makes it less less less helpful.
I just don't understand how you could get away with using that as an error message. Why can't it just say "there's something fucked on line 84 in awesome.php", but instead it just accuses you of cheating? Where I come from, such a harsh acusation can get you into trouble and you'd better be sure you're right before you run around pointing your finger. Shame on you, WordPress. I've been nothing but loyal to you. I don't even look when another, more beautiful CMS walks by.

This morning I peeled myself out of bed, started rummaging around in my closet when I made a major discovery. I screamed & jumped up and down, YESSS! After a week of separation I found my sacred LIVESTRONG Bright Yellow Running hat.
This hat is my personal favorite for the technical aspects, but most importantly, it has been with me when I started my journey with running marathons. The thought of losing my trusty hat left me feeling panicked.
Foxy bought me the hat at Niketown in Boston prior to the 2008 ING NYC Marathon which I ran for LIVESTRONG foundation in honor of a recently deceased friend. I brought the hat with me to NYC & ran 26.2 miles in what was one of the most exciting days of my life.
The hat has been through the GOOD in…
Mile 24 in NYC! The hat was great for my spectators, who had no problem spotting me in that crowds of New York
Johnny Kelley Half Marathon, 2009 (Also Foxy's First 5k)
Post Corporate Challenge 2009
And the BAD…
Heartbreak Hill Half Marathon – Neon Shirt + Bright Yellow hat = Running outfit fail
Marine Corps Marathon, worst.race.ever
When the hat was lost I ordered a hot pink 26.2 Headsweats hat, I'm excited for this new addition, but nothing will ever compare to my love for my ratty, smelly & memory laden yellow LIVESTRONG hat.
Do you have a running accessory that you simply can't part with regardless of how old & sweaty it might be?

I adore using inspirational quotes with decorating. Part of my obsession is that I love the graphic element of playing with different fonts and colors to make a statement, but that can be pulled off with a simple bar sign or such. Nope, the beauty of an inspirational quote is that it is personal. It means something and it reflects the soul of a space. Every space that we create, whether it's a home, a office, or the site of a sweet wedding, has a purpose. It's where you go to find peace, focus and drive, or celebration. I love how a quote has the power to both inspire the person in their space and simultaneously reflect a piece of their heart. It's kind of a beautiful thing.
So, when Sam and I set out to decorate a local classroom, you better believe quotes were going to play a key role. This space is an English room, so we had the lovely Mrs. Miller pick inspirational quotes from the books on this year's reading list…and then we got to work!
large metal clips
canvas dropcloth
Mod Podge
T-square ruler
old book pages (from a thrift store)
Start by prepping your canvas drop cloth. Lay it out on a big flat surface (we just used the floor….all best crafting happens while sitting barefoot on the floor, right?). Use a regular sized piece of computer paper to trace out your cut lines. You will want to use a T-square just to make sure that you are keeping things straight. The goal is to create a good 2 inch border all the way around your book page once you Mod Podge it in place.
After you have cut out your rectangles, begin pulling horizontal threads loose on all four sides. I wanted the frayed edge to make a statement from far away, so we created a good 1/2 inch frayed border all the way around. I kind of love destruction that is secretly constructive. This was definitely satisfying! LOL It's like the complete opposite of my knitting.
Next up, it's time to bust out the Mod Podge. The goal, aside from affixing the book pages to the canvas, is to stiffen the entire project up. It doesn't need to be as stiff as a board, but you don't want any continued fraying, and it needs to hang flat on the wall. Make sure to really coat the canvas heavily before you place your book page down. Then, give it a gentle coat, being careful not to tear the page. We actually used some water so loosen our Mod Podge a bit, just so that it really soaked into the densely woven canvas.
We placed ours out in the sunshine to really speed up the drying process. Then it was time to get scribing! You can try different techniques here: you can freehand or you can print your text out and then use tracing paper to transfer it to your old book page with a pencil. After you have your sketched out words, fill them in with a black Sharpie.
The final step is to attach a large metal clip and hang it from the wall!
A fun and dynamic wall for a classroom! I love it! I hope it inspires the students if, and when, their minds start to drift and their eyes glance around the room!
Happy crafting!

Hi JD,
Ojon seems like a really great product. I purchased the ultra hydrating conditioner and its good BUT i can't stand the smell..lol That ojon nut oil scent is WHOA! What benefits have you noticed in your hair when using Ojon's hair products?

Aww sorry you didn't like the scent. The scent of that product does not bother me, so it seems that we have a different level of tolerance when it comes to scents. In that case I would suggest that you sniff the Carols Daughter hand scrub in case you were thinking of a future purchase.(LOL) Ok back to Ojon, that ultra hydrating shampoo and conditioner has made my hair extra bouncy and silky, it does not dry my hair out like some other products. Now I must let you know that as much as I like Ojon I may be moving away from the Ojon shampoo simply because I want to move towards shampoos that are sulfate free. I am waiting on a sulfate free poo which should arrive soon and I will test it out. Also I tried another sulfate free poo and it worked really well. I think I will always turn to Ojon for the ultra hydrating conditioner even if I leave the poo in the future.

Liszt Ferenc Ter
Last week during my visit to the city I walked through Liszt Ferenc Ter with a camera in my hand. It was icy and chilled and the statue of the poet Attila Jozsef seemed to reflect this well. Here he is, judge for yourselves.

If It's Wednesday, It Must be Doors
This is still in Rome from our visit last year. The door was on one of the monuments rather than an actual door in daily use. Still spectacular, don't you think?

Top Ten Books On My Fall To-Be-Read List
"Top Ten Tuesday" is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!
This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is the Top Ten Books On My Fall To-Be-Read List.
There's no Top Ten Tuesday prompt I look forward to more, or one I'm less capable of adhering to, than the seasonal to-be-read list. While I rarely end up reading more than three or four of my chosen titles each season, it's such a wonderful way to collect my thoughts and grow excited about what I'll be reading in the months to come. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into my reading habits. Although I once would have denied being a 'mood reader', over the last two years I've noticed just how many of my literary choices are dictated by a certain mood or the time of year it is. For example, I tend to exclusively read contemporary novels in the summer, and prefer to leave historical fiction and mysteries for the fall. Today's selection is a nice mixture of forthcoming titles and advance reader copies and books from my personal collection that I've been saving for precisely this season, all of which I think will make the perfect companions on crisp autumn nights curled up by the fire with a nice, warm cup of tea.
As always, these choices are listed in no particular order.
1) Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly
2) Mothman's Curse by Christine Hayes
3) The Only Thing Worse Than Witches by Lauren Magaziner
4) The Distance From Me To You by Marina Gessner
5) Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman
6) Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
7) The Sacred Lies Of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes
8) These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly
9) Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett
10) This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee
Now it's your turn! What will you be reading this season? Which of these books do you think I should start reading first? Let me know in the comments – I would love to hear from you!

Vengeance Road is SO AWESOME. I never knew I was a western fan but apparently if they're a killer (literally) leading lady and a sexy cowboy, I guess I'm there! It was such a fun, wild ride from start to finish.
Minnow Bly was one of my most anticipated titles for the year but I put it off because of a reading slump. I really hope I can get to it soon because I love The Girl with No Hands.
And yeeees Blood and Salt. SO PUMPED for that one. I just have a feeling it's going to scare my pants off. It's funny because, as scary as this book looks, I had the pleasure of meeting the author at BEA is she is just so sweet. Such a counter to the darkness of her book lol.

Great list! I'm going to see Blood and Salt around the blogosphere a lot today. The cover for Vengeance Road is just gorgeous, and I like what you said about seasonal TBRs; I love putting them together, too, and I do think they're a wonderful way for us to discover our reading habits. 🙂

Hooray! Christine Hayes is my agency mate at Erin Murphy Literary and a co-blogger with me on our agency debut website, Emu's Debuts. It won't disappoint–deliciously creepy and so well paced!
Bone Gap is such a great read and definitely one of those books I want to go back to just because it had so much going on in connection to writing and the narrative structure.
I hope you enjoy these all! 🙂

I plan on reading Vengeance Road really soon! I also have been trying to read This Monstrous Thing but I'm having trouble connecting. I think maybe I'm not in the mood for it. But, I still plan on reading it this fall.

Ha ha — I SO agree. I love the seasonal TBR lists, too, but rarely actually read the books I list. Oh well, half the fun is in the planning, right?
I finished VENGEANCE ROAD last week. It's unique and fun. I enjoyed it, especially since the gold mine the characters are seeking is (fictionally – or not?) located almost in my backyard. BONE GAP is another unique, excellent read. BLOOD AND SALT is on my list, too. It looks amazing.
Happy TTT!
Susan (Bloggin' 'bout Books) recently posted…TTT: When Fall Eventually Arrives in Arizona, I'll Totally Be Reading These …
Minnow Bly and Shallow Graves are on my TBR pile too! Just didn't make this week's post because – so many books! Lol My TTT
I think Bone Gap sounds amazing. I'd seen it around and not really paid much attention to it but I saw someone on YouTube talk about it this week and now I need it! I'd also like to get around to Minnow Bly at some point soon.
Monstrous and Blood & Salt are both on my regular TBR. I think These Shallow Graves is but I need to double check 🙂 Hope you have a great fall! Here's My TTT

Saint Paul of our Northern Alliance colleague Fraters Libertas has given Power Line the first-place honors in five categories of his coveted year-end 2003 Blogs of Distinction Awards.
"Best Link to a George Will Column WINNER: A 42-way tie, all earned by our esteemed Northern Alliance colleagues at Power Line. Fans of the well scrubbed, bow tied pundit can rest easy, because if they ever forget how to find George Will on the Internet, these Ivy League Linkers will get them there. Sometimes two or three times per week." Saint Paul links to my "Howard Dean: The Goldberg variation" as representative of our award-winning efforts in this category. If Saint Paul only knew how long I labored to come up with that heading, he could have used that factor as a tiebreaker.
Saint Paul also gives us the palm for: "Best Link to a Mark Steyn Column — See above. Best Link to a Charles Krauthammer column — See above. Best Link to a Victor Davis Hanson column — See above." All of which we have worked hard to earn and is well deserved.
Then, however, Saint Paul goes haywire: "Bloggers with Names that Sound Vaguely Pornographic WINNER: Hindrocket, Big Trunk, and the Deacon from Power Line." Here, I'm afraid, we are not deserving; Saint Paul appears to have been badly led astray by the juvenile delinquents over at Kicking Ass.

I stated, a few weeks ago, that disorganization is one thing that "kills" my writing. So, I wanted to share something I have been using that gives me some control in my chaos. I have started recording my daily writing activities in a diary.
Inspired by my mother, who has kept a diary for over 35 years, I felt it would help me to have a grasp on where I was headed, by what I accomplished.
I use an inexpensive spiral notebook, noting the month and day and then recording my completed tasks for the day: worked on my novel, roughed out idea for devotional, my social media activity, etc. I don't always use a page per day, but just enough room to record the day's activities.
I hesitated even mentioning this, it seemed like such a small thing, but it has given me a handle on my writing life. It even encourages me when I look back and see what I have accomplished. In my life, if something isn't written down, it doesn't happen, or in this case, it is not remembered.
How about you? Do you use some type of diary or logbook?

NASA confirms that spacecraft Voyager 2 has left the solar system
The American spacecraft Voyager 2 has left our solar system after more than forty years of continuous flying.
The American space agency NASA announced this on Monday. Since 5 November, the space probe has not measured any lake particles from the sun, which indicates that the Voyager 2 is definitely out of reach of the sun.
NASA can only now, one month later, state with certainty that the Voyager 2 has left the solar system, because data from three other instruments on board confirm this. For example, an increase in cosmic radiation is measured, indicating that the probe is out of influence of the solar wind.
The Voyager is still functioning properly. The space probe is located almost 18 billion kilometers from the earth and still sends data. Currently the device measures the area in the space through which it flies. In October NASA reported that the probe was approaching the edge of the solar system.
Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 from the rocket base Cape Canaveral in the US state of Florida. Together with its predecessor Voyager 1, which was launched two weeks later, the space probe is NASA's space exploration program. Voyager 1 became the first human-made object ever to leave our solar system in August 2012.
On board of the Voyager 2 a golden LP was included, with 'sounds of the earth', along with a selection of music and a description of the human being. If an extraterrestrial form of life finds it, then there is also a code with instructions how the earth can be found.
Information Voyager does more than 16 hours on earth
The Voyager 2 continues to fly uninhibited, with a speed of over 55,000 kilometers per hour. The information that the probe sends to the earth takes more than sixteen hours to arrive, even if it goes with the speed of light.
In about three hundred years, Voyager 2 will join the Oortwolk, a gigantic area of space rocks and mini-peaks. The cloud is named after the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort. Many comets may come from here. Probably the Voyager 2 will take about 30,000 years to fly through. He will meet a star for the first time in 40,000 years.
China is investigating the dark side of the moon with probe
The Chinese space agency CASC sent the Chang'e 4-lander to the dark side of the moon on Friday at 7:30 pm Dutch time. It is the first time that a lander has to end up on this side of the moon.
A lunar rover is on board the lander. This vehicle is 1.1 meters high and 1.5 meters long, and weighs about 140 kilograms. The vehicle must land on the South Pole-Aitken basin, a large impact crater in the surface of the moon.
The side on which the robber lands, the 'dark side', is the side that can never be seen from the earth. He is always turned away from the earth. As a result, the moon blocks the communication between the earth and the rover. In order to keep in touch with the earth, China sent a corresponding communication satellite to the moon earlier this year.
Although no vehicle has ever landed on the dark side of the moon, it has been observed. A space probe from the Soviet Union made the first photographs in 1959. In 1962, a probe from NASA collapsed on the surface of the dark side.
Chang'e 4 is going to try to grow potatoes and plants
On the surface of the moon Chang'e 4 is going to try to grow the seeds of potatoes and arabidopsis plants, reports Chinese state broadcaster Xinhua.
The rover has a cylindrical look, a mini-biosphere, with water, plant food, oxygen and observation equipment.
There is Chinese-Dutch antenna on board satellite
Because the relevant side of the moon has been turned away from the earth, this side is shielded from electromagnetic disturbances from the earth. This allows Chang'e instruments to capture 4 radio waves from deep in space.
A special radio antenna was installed on board the communication satellite, which Chinese researchers developed in collaboration with researchers from Radboud University in Nijmegen.
This Netherlands-China Low Frequency Explorer (NCLE) is the first Dutch instrument to be taken on board a Chinese space mission. The signals that the NCLE receives could provide information about the origin of the universe after the Big Bang.
Next Chinese lander extracts monster from lunar surface
The Chang'e 4-lander will be succeeded in December 2019 by Chang'e 5. This mission must land on the moon to bring a sample of so-called "regoliet". Regolite is the material from which the surface of the moon consists.
It can occur as lumps of rock or loose material. After picking up such a sample, Chang'e 5 must return to earth again.
Researchers: Signs better for remembering than writing down
Anyone who has to remember something can sign this better than writing down. Especially the elderly benefit from this, say researchers from the University of Waterloo. They hope that the research results can help people with dementia.
The scientists discovered that drawing something yourself is a better method to store new information than to transfer it to a note, to visualize it or to look passively at an image. The technique would also work for people who can not draw well.
In the study, led by Professor of cognitive neuroscience Myra Fernandes, the researchers had both young people and the elderly perform different techniques to remember something. Both groups showed better results in drawing, but this effect was strikingly large especially in the elderly.
Fernandes is hopeful that these findings can help people with dementia, whose memory and language function deteriorate rapidly. Signs can then offer a solution, she says. According to scientists, the visual part of the brain remains largely intact in the normal aging process and dementia.
The researchers think that drawing works best, because then several techniques are used to represent something, namely: visual, spatial, verbal, semantic and motoric.
Coral that survives fading more resistant to climate change
Scientists have discovered that the coral of the Australian Great Barrier Reef can not only restore itself from fading, but is also better able to withstand climate change.
The research, which was published by the online nature platform Nature Climate Change, focuses on the coral of the largest coral reef in the world, off the northeastern coast of Australia.
By polluting or heating the seawater, the normally colorful stone coral can fade and then die off. In the past two decades, almost 93 percent of the Great Barrier Reef has been affected by fading.
In the summers of 2016 and 2017 the coral reef suffered from 'heat waves', in which the seawater was much warmer than average. After the maritime heatwave of 2016, a large part of the coral died, while an even larger part suffered from fading.
The coral that survived that fading, however, now appears more resistant to changing weather and living conditions. "To our great surprise, the fading last year declined.As temperatures were even more extreme than in 2016, we would have expected the mortality rate to be higher, but the opposite is true," said the leader of the international research team.
Coral may evolve to offer more resistance
The scientists speak of 'ecological memory', where coral that did fade, but not die off, builds up more resistance to extreme climate changes. The researchers suspect that the coral is evolving to offer more resistance.
The results can contribute to mapping the short-term effects of climate change on ecological systems. Despite the hopeful development of the coral reefs, the researchers emphasize that the coral can not adapt indefinitely and that global warming must be inhibited in order to save the colorful animals.

Legislative Update
February 28, 2011
NSTA Legislative Update: Deep Cuts to STEM Education in House Continuing Resolution for FY2011 Programs
Late last week the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011 that would cut federal funding by $60 billion. The bill, H.R. 1, includes cuts to key STEM education programs at the Department of Education and the National Science Foundation.
The bill would eliminate funding ($180 million) for the Math and Science partnership program (PDF) at the U.S. Department of Education.
Funding for NSF Education and Human Resources directorate would be reduced $166 million or by 18 percent from the FY11 request. According to NSF (PDF), this would result in 270 fewer awards supporting 5,000 fewer researchers, students, teachers, and technical support staff.
According to the Committee for Education Funding, H.R. 1 would cut funding for education programs by $11 billion, or 16 percent. In addition to cutting funding for the MSPs, the bill eliminates almost 60 education programs. Such cuts "would come at a time when schools and colleges are facing both the termination of ARRA funds and deep cuts in state aid due to unprecedented and continuing state budget gaps that will result in substantial and reductions and layoffs at all levels of education." Other cuts include
As reported in earlier NSTA Legislative Updates, the Congress is operating under a continuing resolution (CR) until March 4, which is funding most federal programs at FY2010 levels. H.R. 1 is the House's latest continuing resolution that would continue to fund the federal government the last seven months until the end of FY2011 (Sept. 30, 2011). Both the Senate Democrats and the Administration have voiced strong opposition to these cuts. Without a budget compromise, it is expected that the federal government will shut down when the temporary measure currently funding government operations expires on March 4.
NSTA is joining with other education groups and is urging members to contact their Senator and ask him/her to reject the education cuts in H.R. 1:

A Church for us is more than a building – it is a sacred space, filled with God's presence. Everything within that space – the paintings, the statues, the stained glass – exists for a spiritual purpose.
This is to provide people with a focus for prayer and an insight into God: literally a 'glimpse of heaven'. The word 'Patrimony' describes the Church's cultural inheritance in terms of architecture, art and artefacts. All witness to our Catholic past: a history of persecution, struggle and ultimately, revival. We are just custodians, with a duty to preserve these sacred treasures for the future. Much of our work is done through the Patrimony Committee. This oversees the work of the diocesan Historic Churches Committees, and acts as the interface between Government authorities and the Church in relation to planning and heritage matters.

Originally Published in THE FIX, January 1, 2008
One of the most popular games in international relations has always been "Guess the Next Global Hegemon." Naturally, the game seems to become most popular in the superpower of the day when a higher than average proportion of its people become convinced that there will be a Next Hegemon, after them – which is to say, when they wax anxious over national decline.
Science fiction traditionally reflected those anxieties. In the post-World War I period, Olaf Stapledon and Aldous Huxley imagined that the future would be American - correctly as it turned out. American writers, in their turn, expressed the same worries when American supremacy appeared in danger. James Blish's Cities in Flight cycle, the four novels in which were written between 1955 and 1962, posited the triumph of a dynamic Soviet Union over a West in the throes of a Spenglerian decline. In the 1980s cyberpunk writers often presented the future as Japanese.
During the 1990s New Economy hype banished such concerns for a while, creating a confidence - at any rate, in the U.S. - that the twenty-first century, too, would be an American century. (The attitude may have been exemplified by Arthur Herman's 1997 book The Idea of Decline in Western History, in which, with limitless smugness, he dismisses such anxieties as nothing more than the neurosis of pathetic failures.)
Of course, the 1990s did not last, and neither did such certainties. For the United States this is another moment of anxiety, and while there are those who look across the Atlantic at the European Union as a contender, most look across the Pacific instead to China. Reading short fiction for Tangent and The Fix this last year, tales of taikonauts leading the way to the moon and beyond seemed to be a dime a dozen.
Indeed, it seems to strike a great many people as extraordinary that this hasn't been the case all along, that the past hasn't been more Chinese than it was actually (certainly more than saw Japan or the Soviet Union as "natural" world leaders). Some of these go so far as to see the recent centuries of Western dominion as a blip on the historical radar screen. Back in 1998 the noted historian and social scientist Andre Gunder Frank published REORIENT: Global Economy in the Asian Age, which makes exactly this case. Not surprisingly, such thinking has been reflected in recent alternate history, in which a small alteration to the timeline eliminated that blip. (The November-December 2007 issue of Interzone for instance, contained two pieces exploring exactly this theme, Chris Roberson's Metal Dragon Year, and Aliette De Bodard's "The Lost Xuyan Bride.")
To be fair, this isn't completely new. Many Westerners over the last two centuries appreciated that China at least had the makings of a great power, Napoleon, for instance, famously remarking that the country was a sleeping giant. However, it was not quite a contender in the game, at least for the time being, by practical decision-makers, and again the case of Britain circa 1900 is exemplary. British strategists, aware their country was being overshadowed by bigger, more modern powers, worried that the Germans would find their "place in the sun," that the next century would be an American century. To a lesser extent, they also worried about the Russians, the French and the Japanese, at least in certain neighborhoods. China, however, was something to be fought over by the other great powers that had colonized it, like all the others on this list.
The idea of China as a great power therefore appeared most often in the abstract, especially manifesting itself in science fiction. In the invasion stories that were the Victorian and Edwardian era's predecessor to today's Tom Clancy-style techno-thriller, the Chinese were routinely aggressors. M.P. Shiel famously produced The Yellow Danger, and Sax Rohmer, stories about the villainous Fu Manchu. Buck Rogers fought the Han, while Flash Gordon battled a fairly obvious caricature in Ming of Mongo.
Later writers treated the theme somewhat more seriously. In his novel First and Last Men (a book which is, ironically, constantly slammed for poor futurism), Stapledon pictured global dominion coming down to a contest between the United States and China - an idea today extremely commonplace. The theme appeared in Robert Heinlein's novels as well, the final act before the rise of the Federation in Starship Troopers being the war against the Chinese Hegemony by a triple alliance of the United States, Britain and Russia, which happened in the late 1980s.
Still, all this is a long way from our present moment, in which so many take the idea so seriously, and not without reason. The United States is not coping particularly well with an enormous trade deficit (much of it with China), exceptional oil dependence and decrepit infrastructure, among other problems. At the same time there is China with its billion-plus population and marathon economic growth rate during the last three decades, reflected in just about everything you own having a MADE IN CHINA label on it.
The numbers crunched by the economists seem to bear this out. By the more generous measures, its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is three-quarters as large as that of the United States. By contrast, the Soviet economy had attained perhaps sixty percent the U.S. level at its nearest point, and Japan's was about the same. Additionally, where both those economies stagnated after hitting that level, China's double-digit growth rate shows little sign of such a dramatic slowdown, so that the gap seems likely to continue to close, with a rough parity appearing perhaps by the 2020s. Such wealth equals power, especially when there is a willingness to translate that wealth into military might - something that nuclear-armed China seems far more likely to do than the European Union, for instance.
In short, size, combined with momentum and will, seem to make this a no-brainer. But is it really? As I said before, the high estimate of the size of the Chinese economy is the one provided by the most generous measures - and that different indexes provide a much different picture.
The key issue at the moment is a device used by economists called Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), an idea that may seem esoteric, but which is actually quite important, and not all that hard to understand. It is a method for calculating the correct value of a nation's currency, as opposed to its market value, so that you can compare the economies of two different countries using two different currencies. (Put another way, what is the real difference in value between the American dollar and the Chinese yuan? In PPP, you establish this by figuring out how much of each currency you need to buy the same basket of goods or services.)
Measured without PPP, using just the market exchange rates of American dollars and Chinese yuan, China's GDP is about $2.5 trillion, just a quarter as large as in the other figure. However, when PPP is used (in other words, the fact that a U.S. dollar goes further in China than the exchange rates suggest), you can get a Chinese GDP of over $10 trillion, roughly equal to three-quarters the size of the economy of the U.S.
This makes the calculation of PPP crucial, and the particularly large gap between the nominal and PPP-adjusted figures in China's case (a factor of four) has always made me wonder, so much so that I usually qualify my statements when discussing China's economy more than I would in statements about the economies of other countries (as in the press release mentioned above).
As it turns out, I was right to be suspicious. Recently, the Asian Development Bank has released data indicating that the PPP used to calculate the size of China's economy has long been overestimated by a substantial margin, the nation's GDP forty percent smaller than the high figure indicates. Instead of a GDP of $10 trillion, it would be in the neighborhood of $5 trillion. This still qualifies it for the Number Two spot, but a much more distant one.
It also indicates that China's growth rate has been slower than advertised for many years, meaning that as a challenger, China has a much, much longer way to go before it becomes Number One. This is all the more problematic when one consider that this GDP is divided up among over four times as many people as the United States, and in a noticeably less egalitarian fashion.
Even assuming this not to be the case, China has its own problems, some of them actually the same problems. The United States may run a trade deficit with China, while China runs a trade surplus, which is in China's benefit - but only up to a point. China's rise to the status of "sweatshop of the world" depends on the capacity of foreign markets to absorb its deluge of low-priced manufactures. Should those trade deficits force other countries to cut back, China's growth will suffer, barring the unlikely event of more egalitarian policies which foster the nation's internal market.
It should also be remembered that China is a voracious oil consumer, and that should the world be in for an oil shock, which many believe to be plausible in the next decade, China will be extremely hard hit. (I myself argued this in the U.S. Army War College Quarterly Parameters, and do so again in my upcoming article in the journal Survival, "The Impending Oil Shock.") Nor is this the end of China's ecological problems, China's willingness to exploit its workers matched only by its willingness to befoul its environment and poison its population, with disastrous consequences. This includes the killing of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, the rendering of the air toxic with the burning of dirty coal, and desertification on a vast scale, now said to be adversely affecting some 200 million people - a population the size of Britain, France and Germany combined - and given its effects on agriculture in the world's most populous country, global consequences. Once again, the kinds of policies that would be needed to seriously address the situation do not seem to be forthcoming.
I could go on, but the point is that the story is at the very least more complicated than the hype suggests, and at worst, that (barring a change in course) China's story in the twenty-first century might be marked not by a rise to global preponderance, but turmoil of a sort too familiar from the nation's long history. Where science fiction is concerned, this might make the fashionable tales of a Chinese future seem awfully dated in a few years, the stories assuming another, increasingly familiar form - ecologically ruined dystopia, of the kind that make nineteenth century-style realpolitik count for a whole lot less.
What goes for China goes to a greater or lesser degree for every other major power, and most of the little ones, too, which are on the whole aging, debt-ridden, ecologically strained, economically weaker than they look and prone to caution over boldness because of that frailty. There is simply no present-day analog to the dynamism of the British Empire's ascent from Cromwell to Victoria, of Prussia as it united Germany in the nineteenth century, of the expansion of the United States from sea to shining sea, which may be just as well. We live in a changed world, where developments ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change make the risks of old-fashioned power politics greater than ever before, and the rewards more meager, for all concerned. Any plausible vision of the future can not but reflect that.
NOTE: The downward revision in the then-prevailing estimates of China's GDP was widely accepted, and more recent figures have reflected the adjustment. According to the CIA World Factbook, China's GDP was in the $11 trillion range in 2011, about 75 percent of the figure given for the U.S. (slightly over $15 trillion).

Perfume allergies
Attention: academic, industry, government researchers
C&EN would like to hear about the processes that researchers in academia, industry, or government use to write a paper for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. C&EN is interested in, among other things, the dynamics involved. For example, is one person responsible for writing the bulk of a paper? Is there an outline? Does writing involve a blog or wiki? Please contact Rachel Petkewich at email@example.com or (202) 872-7861 by March 15 if you are interested in being interviewed. Replies will be considered for an upcoming article in the magazine.
In the story about Clint Brooks and his innovations in flavors and fragrances, author Ivan Amato states, "Designed to stimulate the warm, moist sensory surfaces inside your mouth and nose, the chemical creations of the $18 billion-per-year flavors and fragrances couldn't get more intimate with its ultimate customers—you and me" (C&EN, Oct. 30, 2006, page 32). What could, and perhaps should, have been mentioned is the allergic reactions that increasing numbers of people have to perfumes.
My wife and her two sisters suffer severely from perfume allergies, so much so that it limits their ability to interact socially in large groups. My wife is learning to keep her distance from perfume odors and is very alert to the first sensations of allergic fragrances that affect her. I would like to see the Food & Drug Administration, the flavor and fragrance industry, and whomever else regulates that industry consider regulations that a product be labeled to clearly state that the contents of a given perfume bottle may cause severe allergies to others. I call on the federal government to begin aggressive funding of R&D to attempt to discover why many perfumes induce severe allergic reactions in some people.

Is regenerative medicine the answer to your chronic pain?
In the past, most cases of damaged tissue within the body were considered irreversible, but developments in regenerative medicine hold the potential to change all that, writes Christopher Sahler, MD, an interventional pain management specialist at ONS, in this week's edition of the Greenwich Sentinel. Although research into harnessing the body's own healing process using amniotic fluids, blood, tissues, growth factors and stem cells is ongoing, certain biomedical therapies are in use today to help ordinary people suffering from orthopedic conditions and chronic pain. The most common treatment, using platelet rich plasma collected from a patient's own blood, is administered in a physician's office using ultrasound guided injections directly into the diseased or damaged tissue to restart and increase the healing process. Read the full article in the April 1 edition of Greenwich Sentinel.

Whatever you think about his politics, Donald Trump's election has so far been a boon for investors. The market rally that began in the wake of his shock US presidential win pushed the UK stock market to a record high in the early weeks of January.
The Active Income portfolio has delivered a 2.7 per cent return over the past two months. This was considerably less than the overall 5.1 per cent return from the FTSE All-Share index.
As we explained in the last update, that reflects an investor shift away from stable dividend-paying defensive stocks into economically sensitive cyclicals.
To view the active income portfolio's holdings and trading chronology, click here.
It is not that a portfolio holding a fair smattering of defensive stocks can't deliver a positive return, just that its capital return may be lower than that of the overall market.
And let's not forget that the income return is likely to be significantly higher: over the past two months the portfolio has generated dividends of £737.85.
Few industries are as cyclical as the oil and gas sector, where share prices rose significantly last year due to a partial recovery in oil prices.
Yet UK oil majors BP and Royal Dutch Shell still yield more than 6 per cent. Out of the two, I'm plumping for Royal Dutch Shell 'B' shares - the share class that is not subject to Dutch withholding tax.
The oil and gas giant's share price has risen by 44 per cent over the past 12 months. Do I wish I had invested a year ago, when Shell's yield topped 8 per cent?
Of course, but even today the shares are yielding around 6.2 per cent. On 2 February, the day after I invested, the oil giant unveiled a mixed set of results, missing profit and earnings forecasts.
Is Shell about to trim its world-beating dividend?
However, cash flow was significantly better than expected and the company seems to be progressing well with its asset disposal programme.
The company is not in a great state, and we certainly can't count on the oil price bouncing back in the near future, but the business seems to be improving.
Phoenix Group Holdings, which has also been added to the portfolio, is a very different beast. Currently yielding 5.86 per cent, the company relies on acquiring closed life and pension funds to grow its business.
In 2016, Phoenix purchased the legacy pension businesses of Axa Wealth and Abbey Life. Analysts at Deutsche Bank are among those who believe the group is in a strong position to snap up another closed book of policies this year. We're buying on that hope.
It seems more than about time to review the investment fund holdings within the portfolio. They have been some of the biggest disappointments, in capital growth terms.
Perpetual Income & Growth trust, known as Pigit for short, has been one of our better performers since purchase. However, its recent performance relative to the benchmark has been weak.
Fund manager Mark Barnett attributes this to having nothing in the mining sector and no holdings in UK banks or Royal Dutch Shell.
However, given that Pigit provides diversity to a portfolio that includes Rio Tinto, Lloyds Banking Group and now Royal Dutch Shell, it stays.
I'm also content to stick with TwentyFour Income and European Assets for similar reasons. They provide diversity and an appealing regular stream of income.
A question mark hangs over BlackRock Income Strategies trust, where the mandate is about to be taken over by Aberdeen. The commitment to dividend payouts, which previously ensured a yield of around 6 per cent, will be dropped as part of the move.
As part of a general overhaul of Money Observer's portfolios, we have decided to wind up the Active Income portfolio. This will be the last update. It has been a pleasure running the portfolio, and thank you for following its progress. Best of luck with your investing.

Simon Road Oyster Omelette: Back at the same spot!
Today we pay tribute to the late Mr Lim Seng Hong who passed away during Chinese New Year this year. I first met him in 2009 at the corner coffeeshop along Simon Road and was at once mesmerized by his frying technique. His pan is tilted so that the oil drains to one side while the eggs crisp up on the elevated side. Once the starch is crispy, the oysters are added and the pan bursts into tongues of fire that lick the luscious bivalves with its smokey aroma!
Kim's Kuehs: The End of Teochew Kuehs?
I really hate to be a naysayer, I really do. But just as I said that it is "The End of Char Kway Teow", traditional kuehs like png kueh and soon kueh are also facing an uncertain future. Consider the following questions:
Sinn Ji Chicken Rice: Young, Innovative Next Generation Hawkers
There has been much debate about how to preserve our hawker culture. One idea was to set up hawker "schools" where courses are offered on how to prepare certain dishes. On paper, this seems to be a good idea.
Ah Li Japanese Fusion Mee Pok!
After the meepok is tossed in the sauce, it is topped with a generous amount of sliced pork, pork balls and minced pork. Then tender sliced Japanese style charshu which has been slow cooked for 5 hours is draped over the noodles and finally, in case you still haven't satisfied your need for pig, a generous amount of crispy pork lard is laid on top of the mountain of pork.
Roast Paradise: Turning over a new charsiew
It is good to see our two young hawkerpreneurs, Kai and Randall doing so well at Roast Paradise one year on. When I initially posted their story on Facebook in Oct last year, they had just opened their stall and though the char siew was promising, I felt that it needed more fine tuning before I would recommend it on the blog.
Ha Ha Bin Hokkien Mee: Makings of a Master
You know those heartwarming videos that MOE puts outs to get more people to enter the teaching profession? Yeah, the ones that show a super dedicated teacher who believed in particular student even though he was a real pai kia (bad kid) in school and because of his persistence, the pai kia eventually becomes a lawyer or motivational speaker?
Crabmeat Wanton Mee: Next Gen Hawkers!
Would you like to try some crabmeat wanton mee? I bet you must have walked pass many a wanton mee stall without batting an eyelid. But "Crabmeat Wanton Mee"? Now that is worth at least a second look.
KEK (Keng Eng Kee) Pandan Gardens: Zi Char 2.0
Chef Wayne of Keng Eng Kee, or KEK as it is known nowadays, has opened a new Zi Char stall in Pandan Gardens where he is serving progressive Zi Char using some of the new ingredients that are now available in Singapore. The second generation Singaporean born Chef was given full permission by his father to serve his nouveau Zi Char cuisine at his new place, something that he had to keep under wraps at the old restaurant.
To-Ricos Kway Chap: The Next Generation!
This next generation stall in the newly opened Ci Yuan CC food centre is run by the three sons of the famous To-Rico Kway Chap at Old Airport Road
Ah Hoe Mee Pok: Teenaged Japanese Mee Pok Girl!
A very good bowl of bak chor mee made by a Japanese family. One one hand I am very glad that they have managed to master the authentic flavour of our bak chor mee. However, I must admit that there is a part of me which wanted to see bak chor mee that has been given that special Japanese makeover to bring bak chor mee to the next level. Perhaps this is something that our next generation Japanese Mee Pok girl might be able to do in the future? Let's wait and see!
Fatty Cheong ABC Char Siew Rice: The Next Generation!
This stall is closed Fatty Cheong's has been one of my favourite places to eat at since I first discovered his sublime char siew back in Nov 2006 when the blog was only in its infancy! Since then, his char siew has been the gold standard for which my kids compare all the other char […]

NOTE: This guide is aimed at our Control Panel, Barebones and Blaze VPS products. If you use a different Crucial hosting product, click here for a list of our nameservers.
Setting up your own private nameservers on a cPanel server has many benefits, most importantly enabling all of cPanel's built in DNS tools which can make DNS changes much easier. This guide will show you how to set up and register new private nameservers on a cPanel server using the WHM (Web Host Manager) interface.
Most users will want to use a domain name they already own, often the same domain name that is being used for the hostname of the server that will be running the private nameservers. For this example, we will use a fake domain called example.com. Our server is called host.example.com and we will be setting up ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.
Step 1 - Log into WHM then find and click on the Basic WebHost Manager Setup option
Step 2 - Scroll down to the Nameservers section. Add the nameservers you want to create (set at least 2) then click Configure Address Record
Now type in your IP and hit Configure Address Records. Note: You would have received an email with your available IP's. If unsure, submit a suport ticket and we can forward this information to you.
Note that if you have 2 nameservers, it's fine for both of them to point ot the same IP address.
Once that's done for each nameserver, hit Save Changes down the bottom
Step 3 - This step likely needs to be done by your registrar. To find your domain registrar, you can use websites like https://whois.ausregistry.com.au and https://tppwholesale.com.au/provider/ (for .au domain names, use the TPP one if ausregistry says the domain is with TPP), and https://who.is (for .com .net .org and other standard domain name).
If your domain is with us: Submit a support ticket from http://control.crucial.com.au/ requesting we add the host/glue records and provide the nameserver's and IP's set for them.
If your domain is with another registrar: Contact your registrar, provide the nameservers you've set and IP's set for them, and ask them to set Host/Glue records.
That's it! Once this is done it can take between 4hrs and 24hrs to fully propagate and for them to become live. You can now start using those nameservers to connect domains to your server, and they should start working within 24hrs of the host/glue records being added.

Effective maintenance structures at district and facility levels are developed to ensure adequate planning, preventive maintenance and basic repairs. Also possibilities for providing more specialized services at Regional and Zonal levels, and identifying spare part supply possibilities are being explored.
The districts, however, have the vital role in an effective technology management system. As the first reference level, the district must provide sufficient management and technical competence to organise and carry out maintenance and effectively support the basic health facilities within the district. Maintenance Management must also be integrated into the district's general health care management.
