The Private Landowner Contributing to Sustainable Development
The natural beauty of Costa Rica is admired throughout the world. And for this reason, Costa Ricans have for decades been working to consolidate a system of protected areas that now occupies almost 24% of the national territory. Many of these lands are state property, or rather, of all Costa Ricans. However, the great majority of the lands needed for the sustainable development of Costa Rica are private property.
Therefore, it is very important to offer private landowners flexible legal instruments that can help them both develop as well as conserve their lands. To meet this need, since 1992 a new legal mechanism known as the conservation easement is being used in Costa Rica. Conservation easements are very attractive to land owners because of their versatility and the fact that their constitution is voluntary.
What are Conservation Easements?
Conservation easements are legal agreements through which landowners voluntarily limit the use of their lands with the goal of protecting their natural attributes.
What are their Most Important Characteristics?
* Voluntary: Conservation easements are private contracts where the landowner decides whether he wants to limit the use of his lands or not. Therefore, they are only established when landowners want them.
* Flexible: Conservation easements can be used to satisfy the diverse desires o that the land owners might have. For example, the owner of a property on which a conservation easement is established might agree to not cut trees on his property, but allow the construction of a house, the creation of a trail, etc.
How is a Conservation Easement Created?
A conservation easement is a contract that should be inscribed in the public registry so that it can be more easily enforced. For this reason, it should be created by a public deed that can be signed by any notary public.
Who can Create Them?
The laws of Costa Rica provide that two properties are required for the creation of a conservation easement: a) a property that accepts restrictions on its use and b) another property that is benefited by the restrictions. For example, in the case of Monteverde, land use restrictions are imposed on the property of TNC, while these restrictions benefit the property of TSC (The Monteverde Reserve). Thus a conservation easement can be established if the owners of both the restricted and the benefited properties voluntarily agree to do so.
How Long do they Last?
If the owners of the property so desire, conservation easements can be established for a determined period of time. However, if the contract that creates the easement does not state that it is for a determined period of time, the easement is perpetual. This can be very attractive to landowners, as they can be assured that the forest that they are now trying to protect will remain protected forever.
What are the Obligations and Responsibilities of the Owners of Lands with Conservation Easements?
The establishment of a conservation easement does not affect the ownership of land; and the owners who create the easement continue to own their respective properties until they decide, if ever, that they want to sell. The obligations and responsibilities of these landowners are those that were established in the contract that established the conservation easement.
Basically, the obligations of the owner of the property on which restrictions were placed has the obligation to comply with these restrictions, while the owner of the land that is benefited by the easement has the obligation to make sure that the obligations are being complied with.
Therefore, it is recommended that the contract that creates the easement establish how compliance with the easement shall be established, such as by periodic visits, aerial photos, etc.
What are the Benefits of Creating a Conservation Easement?
Definitely, the principal benefit of establishing a conservation easement is to guarantee the protection of natural resources on private lands and thereby contribute to the sustainable development of the country. This helps to maintain clean air and water, prevent soil erosion, maintain habitat for wildlife and provide many other benefits as well. In addition, in some cases the establishment of conservation easements have raised the value of the limited property or of nearby parcels.
Further, several landowners have established conservation easements and at the same time are complying with the requirements for recognition of their property as Private National Wildlife Refuges. In this way they can enjoy benefits s uch as exemption from property taxes. Others are interested in receiving economic incentives that the National System of Conservation Areas of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy are offering for environmental services provided by their land.
How can a Conservation Easement be Terminated?
Conservation easements can be terminated in the same way that they are established: the owners of the restricted and benefited properties voluntarily agree to terminate the easement, and then contact a notary public to sign the agreement and present it to the public registry. Of course, this would only be necessary if the conservation easement were not for a limited period of time that had already passed.
Where can more Information about Conservation Easements be Obtained?
The Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center (CEDARENA) and the Association for the Conservation and Management of Tropical Forests (COMBOS) are developing the Central American Conservation Easement Initiative. This initiative is undertaking legal research in the seven countries of Central America and is helping landowners establish conservation easements in Costa Rica. For more information about this project or about conservation easements in general, please visit the CEDARENA website or call (506) 2283-7080 . Fax (506) 2224-1426.

Allscripts Solution to Electronically Manage and Coordinate Patient Referrals for Facilities Across the US
CHICAGO and LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Allscripts
today announced that Kindred Healthcare, Inc., the nation's largest post-acute
provider, has selected Allscripts Referral Management and Referral Management
Plus to help manage and coordinate patient referrals for Kindred's 82
long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals and 228 nursing and rehabilitation
centers across the nation.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081013/AQM041LOGO)
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. is a healthcare services company that through its
subsidiaries operates hospitals, nursing centers and a contract rehabilitation
services business across the United States. Kindred is the nation's largest
post-acute provider as ranked by revenues. Allscripts will implement its
web-based solutions for all of Kindred's facilities over the next three
Kindred facilities will use the Allscripts solutions to connect
electronically with caregivers and case managers in thousands of US hospitals,
including several hundred hospitals that use the web-based Allscripts Care
Management solution to manage care and find locations for patients requiring
additional care. Using Allscripts, Kindred's skilled nursing facilities will
be able to receive and respond instantly to electronic patient referrals from
hospitals. Kindred LTAC hospitals will have the additional capability of
sending electronic patient referrals to the 7,000 post-acute facilities
nationwide that use Allscripts for referral management, enabling Kindred to
quickly find the right facility to take their own discharged patients.
"We expect to receive increasing numbers of electronic referrals from
hospitals, as they seek to speed and streamline that critical process, so it
makes sense to partner with Allscripts, the leader in that space," said Lane
Bowen, Executive Vice President of Kindred and President of the Health
Services Division. "Allscripts will make it much easier for our skilled
nursing facilities to respond quickly to hospital discharge planners and
improve our bottom line performance by capturing more patients who are
appropriate to our type of care."
Benjamin Breier, Executive Vice President and President of Kindred's
Hospital Division, added that Kindred's LTAC hospitals need solutions that
allow them to manage patient transfers more efficiently and expeditiously than
in the past. "We need volume, we need speed, and we need to gain additional
management insight and perspective into the discharge and referral processes,"
said Breier. "These services are going to become more common and it's going to
happen sooner rather than later, so we're better off ahead of the curve with
the leader in the space, Allscripts."
Allscripts enables post-acute care facilities to track all patient
referrals in a single system. Customers automatically receive and respond to
referrals from hospitals, enter referrals from non-electronic sources, and
collect important marketing information. Allscripts also enables clients to
manage tasks involved in the intake process, generate business letters and
documents, and send referrals to the next appropriate level of care.
"Long-term acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities need
accurate, real-time information to provide the best care possible and more
effectively manage their costs, and our referral management solutions deliver
that while providing caretakers outside the hospital a window into the
treatment their patient's received," said Jeff Surges, President of Allscripts
Health Systems Group. "Kindred's selection of Allscripts will help them
continue to lead the market with the most advanced patient care and business
systems available."

Polarettes gymnasts were golden all-around at the Yukon Gymnastics Championships May 28 at the Whitehorse club.
Yukoners won all seven divisions at the championships that saw 39 gymnasts compete, including 10 from Alaska's Juneau Gymnastics club.
"Overall they had a very good meet and they were very clean," said Polarettes coach Megan Banks. "Their legs were straight and their arms were straight, they weren't doing messy gymnastics. They were doing clean gymnastics, which is the goal."
Some of the all-around gold wins came following commanding performances in the individual events. Yukon's Maude Molgat, who won gold all-around in Junior Olympic 7, placed first on the vault, bars and beam, and second on the floor.
Teammate Kate Koepke pulled off a similar feat in Junior Olympic 4. Koepke, who was the only Yukoner in the division, took gold all-around after placing first on vault, bars and beam, and fourth on floor.
Both Molgat and Koepke won divisions at last year's championship as well.
"I was really proud of Kate (Koepke)," said Banks. "She was the only Yukon gymnast to compete Level 4 and she had one of her best meets ever. She got first on three events — I was super proud of her."
In addition to Molgat, four other Polarettes who won gold all-around made the podium in all four events.
Amelie Guilbeault in Junior Olympic 3 (JO3), placed first on vault and floor, second on bars and beam. MacKenzie Tonner in the other JO3 division, placed first on vault and bars, second on beam and third on floor. Wylloh Dinn in JO2, took first on floor and second in the other three events. Payten Kinney in JO1, claimed first on beam and floor, and second on vault and bars.
"The Level 1s, they're all from Yukon, and that was their first meet ever," said Banks. "Having that as their first competition I thought they did very well, especially because they are so young and they've never really performed their routines in front of a big crowd before."
The previous weekend at the Gold Rush Invitational in Juneau, Polarettes won gold all-around in seven of the eight divisions in which they competed.

Enter the local market on Round Hill Road in Greenwich, CT to purchase one of their amazing $7.00 tuna sandwiches and the clerk states, "You have to purchase at least $10 or pay an additional .50 cents".
According to the Federal Reserve, the average interchange fee per transaction for all debit card issuers in 2009 was 43 cents. Data collected from the fourth quarter of 2011 indicated that the average interchange fee received by non-exempt issuers declines 45% from the 2009 level to 24 cents. – Source Google Search
In order to process credit cards and debit cards, a merchant must negotiate a "merchant discount fee" either with his or her financial institution or, for Discover and American Express, with the credit card company directly. The negotiated fee is then subtracted from each customer transaction with a credit or debit card. The "interchange transaction fee," which is paid to the credit or debit card issuer, makes up the largest percentage of the merchant discount fee and is the focus of this report.
In 2011, the Federal Reserve adopted Regulation II, which limits the amount of interchange fees that debit card issuers can charge for transactions. The rule limits the interchange fee to a maximum of 21 cents plus .05% of the transaction value. The rule exempts financial institutions with less than $10 billion in assets. To date, there are no such laws or regulations limiting the interchange transaction fees an issuer may charge for credit card purchases. Since credit card interchange fees vary significantly from one card to another and from one merchant to another, some merchants may pay higher fees for credit card transactions while others pay higher fees for debit card transactions.

I wonder if Round Hill Road Store claims the balance of fees charged as income?

Our Campaign
The following templates may be downloaded and edited to reflect your organization's specific information.
Please make sure to maintain the integrity of the Purple Light Nights® name and logo on all documents signifying the Federal trademark. Note that the size and font may be altered as needed. The Covington Domestic Violence Task Force would also request that you acknowledge our work as the creators of this campaign in your advertising and marketing.
Once you make the decision to participate in the Purple Light Nights® campaign, you will be limited only by your creativity and imagination. You can check out the video of our first annual Tree Lighting Kick Off event from October, 2010 on our YouTube channel for inspiration.
The CDVTF had no idea how fast the campaign would grow when they were initializing it in 2007, how much media attention it would receive, and how many family members of domestic violence victims would be deeply touched by it.
Preparing for the Campaign
To prepare for the event, we have developed the following narrative about each aspect of the campaign. We hope that we can help you on the journey ahead by sharing what we learned about the following:
Plan a Timeline
Although our task force began preparing one year before the event, we have paved the way for your group to start an event as late as September. First, decide what type of event you want to have: Do you want to target the residents and promote the individual lights? Do you want to target the business community to sponsor a tree lighting or simply ask businesses to put a string of purple lights in their front window? Do you want to incorporate purple lights at a special vigil or light one tree in your downtown?
We recommend beginning with one or two smaller projects rather than take on all aspects of the event. Each year as the event grows, you can add another dimension to your work plan.
Next, make a list of service groups, other agencies, or community members that you believe would help you promote the event.
As soon as possible, prepare your documents for advertising. These include press releases, handouts, flyers, and posters.
If you decide to sell individual lights or string lights, order early. We have several companies listed in the Vendors section that we have used or you may work with your local hardware or lighting store.
Products and Lighting Options
The individual light bulbs we used were actually what are known as "black lights." When a black light is lit, they are a deep purple color. It is imperative to order at least 60 or 75-watt bulbs, nothing less. These lights do not put out a lot of bright light, so for those who were concerned about lighting their front porch, we encouraged them to put the black light in a front window.
For most folks, these worked just fine on the front porch. Another alternative is to add a string of purple lights around the window or front door.
Please refer to the Vendors page where we have listed several vendors we have used and continue to work with in case you are having difficulty finding the right light. You may call and ask any of these vendors for the Purple Light Nights® price if you are a nonprofit or plan to order at least one case.
A Special Note About the New Regulations for Incandescent Bulbs
We all know they are phasing out incandescent bulbs, so we've had a lot of questions about how this will affect Purple Light Nights®. Although they are not producing incandescent bulbs that are over 40 watts, there is an exception for any colored light such as the black light bulb. This means they WILL continue to sell 65 or 75-watt black lights for use on this event.
You may also contact any local lighting company or conduct your own search on the internet. Our greatest concern with string lighting is finding a true purple color. Most mini lights are pinker than purple. We found that the light style we ordered from both Creative Displays and DiJulio Displays, Inc. had a true purple color. Since October is also breast cancer month, we did not want to be confused with their color of pink.
We began with 200 lights on our first year and soon realized that was not enough. Eventually, we ordered 800 and sold about 500 light bulbs. Some companies may take as long as two to three weeks to receive your shipment, so make sure you always have some in stock.
Options for Lighting
There are at least three options for lighting projects:
The CDVTF made the decision to concentrate our first year on only one area to create a successful campaign with the manpower we had. We cautioned not to take on too much the first year, putting our efforts into the single light bulb sales for residents of our city. The task force did donate string lights for four street trees around City Hall. This drew a lot of interest from the community.
In 2008, we targeted businesses to sponsor a street tree with purple lights for $100. We placed a recognition sign at the base of each tree with the business name on one side and either a victim's name or statistics about domestic violence on the other. People took the time to stop and read the signs as they shopped and learned many facts about domestic violence.
We have included a sample letter to businesses to sponsor a street tree as well as a sample recognition sign and order form with the letter.
Label Packaging
We have included a template to be used as a label wrap around the single light package. There are two labels per sheet for printing and the document is in Word so that you can edit the information to include your specific agency information or price.
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE PURPLE LIGHT NIGHTS® LOGO OR NAME from the label as you edit. The purpose is to unify the campaign in order to be recognizable everywhere. The logo and name are approved Federal trademarks of the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force used to promote domestic violence awareness.
If you choose to use this as a fundraiser, you may set your own price based on your costs and what your community is willing to pay. We were able to order the lights for $1.28 each, so by selling the lights for $3 or two for $5, we made a small profit. This is your choice. Several groups in the area also purchased 50 or 100 lights directly from us to give away. We have a local Native American Tribal Council that ordered large quantities so that they could give lights to women involved in their healing circle. The faith-based community also ordered 100 lights for the youth groups to sell at their mass or service.
The selling price for string lights used for street trees or business windows also depends on the purchase price. Our suggested sponsorship prices are as follows:
Promoting in Your Community
Your best supporters often come from service groups as listed below. Call and ask to give a brief presentation to each service group. Print flyers and posters advertising the Purple Light Nights® sale. (Several downloadable templates are available in this section). Take the posters and flyers to:
Promoting to the Media
Contact your local:
We are fortunate to work for a city and have the support of our city council. The first step we would recommend is to contact your city and ask the public information officer or city clerk to run a press release about the campaign. (Please refer to the Press Release template in this section.) These forms may be copied for use. There is no cost involved since it is a community awareness announcement. Your city may also have a Facebook account where the event can be announced.
Secondly, we contacted the newspaper reporters in our area and told them about the campaign. Typically, a press release announcement goes to the media, so they will already have received word. As a survivor, we shared our story and why Purple Light Nights® was important to us. We asked them to do a feature story and they were happy to do that and include photos.
The next step: We mailed purple lights to our favorite radio station DJs and talk radio hosts with a letter of explanation. Each of them contacted us with interest to do a live radio interview about Purple Light Nights®. They were very receptive to talking about domestic violence statistics and how they could promote the campaign. One radio station even put a link on their website redirecting to us.
After the press release, newspaper articles, and some radio interviews, the TV stations picked up on the campaign and called us to do a 90-second news report on the 11:00 PM news. The reporter did an excellent job of interviewing us while relaying the proper message to listeners about the needs of victims and the cycle of abuse.
Reasons That Purple Light Nights® Works
Domestic violence is a difficult subject to talk about, and it is even more difficult to get the community involved in domestic violence issues. It is a heavy subject and many people shy away from talking about or doing anything about it. Others are in denial.
We believe that Purple Light Nights® will bring to light the dark shame of domestic abuse. It's easy, inexpensive, and even fun to put in a light bulb so that everyone can participate. Most people lead very busy lives and cannot volunteer their time, but they can buy a light bulb and put it on their front porch to support this issue.
Remembering Those Who Lost Their Lives to Domestic Violence
You can shine a light ALL month long to honor their memory and bring attention to the issue of abuse. We are aware that it may be confused with Halloween, which is why it is important to begin the campaign on October 1st and get the message out early.
Getting the Word Out
The purple lights are conversation starters. Neighbors will ask why you have the purple light on. This opens the door to talking about domestic violence. Use this as an opportunity to educate your community. Incorporate fact sheets of statistics about your city from your police department.
We want to acknowledge the courageous spirit of those victims who are now free from their abusers.
Giving Hope to Those Still Living With Abuse
In the midst of our first campaign, we received an email from three grieving parents. Each lost their daughter to an abuser and even though it had been years for some of them, the pain was still real and hurtful. These parents took the time to say, "Thank you Washington for NOT forgetting my daughter." They became involved in Purple Light Nights®, with one mother starting her own campaign in the state of Oregon.

When it comes to skincare, retinol is pretty much regarded the holy grail. A fantastic source of vitamin A, the skin superstar does everything from reducing the signs of ageing, improving acne and fading age spots. From bloggers and YouTubers to the beauty pages of magazines, you'd be hardpressed to find a beauty authority who isn't singing the praises of this powerful product.
But that's just the thing, it is powerful—too powerful, in fact, for many people's skin. Some redness in the first weeks of using retinol is normal, as it turbocharges skin cell production. However, people with sensitive skin have reported a range of reactions from an extremely red, irritated and itchy face to dry and peeling skin. Not fun!
The good news is, you don't have to miss out on the magical benefits of retinol just because you have dry or sensitive skin. A gentler, natural alternative has emerged and its said to be just as effective. Enter, bakuchiol.
What is bakuchiol?
Pronounced 'back-uh-heel', bakuchiol is being called the plant-based retinol. Pinterest predicted it as one of the biggest beauty trends of 2019 so you know it's going to be huge. It's derived from the seeds and leaves of the babchi plant and has long been used in Chinese medicine to heal cuts and soothe rashes and redness. "Bakuchiol, like retinol, works by increasing cell turnover, thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall photodamage," dermatologist Ellen Mamur tells Allure.
The International Journal of Cosmetic Science published a study comparing retinol and bakuchiol and found that the latter showed "significant improvement in lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall reduction in photo-damage," without the side effects of retinol. Win! The best part is, it's suitable for all skin types—even those with sensitive complexions, due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Like retinol, bakuchiol is the ingredient, not the product itself—so not all versions of it are created equal. Read on for the 5 best bakuchiol products to add to your routine.

radian – an alternative unit for measuring angles ()
kelvin – unit of thermodynamic temperature (equal to degrees celsius + 273.15)
linear momentum – the product of mass and velocity
net force on a body – rate of change of its momentum
impulse of a force – force multiplied by the time for which the force acts
centripetal force – the net force on acting on an object moving in a circle; it is always directed towards the centre of the circle
gravitational field strength – force per unit mass
period of an object describing a circle – the time taken by an object to complete one orbit
displacement – distance from an equilibrium position
amplitude – maximum displacement
period – the time taken for one complete oscillation of a vibrating object
frequency – number of oscillations per unit time
angular frequency –
phase difference – the fraction of an oscillation between the vibrations of two oscillating particles (expressed in degrees or radians)
pressure – force per unit area
internal energy – the sum of the random distribution of kinetic and potential energies associated with the molecules of a system
latent heat of fusion – the thermal energy required to turn a solid into a liquid at constant temperature
latent heat of vaporisation – the thermal energy required to turn a liquid into a gas at constant temperature
Newton's first law – a body will remain at rest or continue to move with constant velocity unless acted upon by a force
Newton's second law – rate of change of momentum is equal to the net force acting and takes place in the direction of that force.
Newton's third law – when one body exerts a force on another, the other body exerts an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (in direction) force on the first body
equilibrium – resultant force is zero
principle of conservation of momentum – total momentum is constant for a closed system
perfectly elastic collision – a collision with no loss of kinetic energy
inelastic collision – a collision with some loss of kinetic energy
Newton's law of gravitation – force between two masses is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
geostationary orbit – an equatorial orbit with a period of 24 hrs, moving from west to east
Kepler's third law – the cube of a planet's distance from the Sun is proportional to the square of its orbital period
simple harmonic motion – acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and is directed in the opposite direction to the displacement
thermal equilibrium – no net heat flow between objects
absolute zero – the temperature at which a substance has minimum internal energy
specific heat capacity – the energy required per unit mass of a substance to raise its temperature by 1K
Boyle's law – pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature
Basic assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases:
- particles move with rapid, random motion
- all collisions are elastic
- volume of atoms is negligible (compared with volume of container)
- no intermolecular forces (except during collisions)
- collision time is negligible (compared to time between collisions)
Useful applications of resonance:
- cooking: microwaves cause water molecules to resonate
- woodwind instrument: reed causes air column to resonate
- brass instrument: lips cause air column to resonate
- MRI: radio waves in a magnetic field cause protons to resonate
- radios: radio waves cause electrons to resonate
- person on a swing: intermittent pushes cause swing to resonate
Problematic examples of resonance:
- bridges: wind causes bridge to resonate
- vehicles: engine vibrations cause panels/mirrors to resonate

great questions. You can use the already cooked chicken -- it won't need as long to cook because the chicken won't be raw, but it's not going to hurt anything if you do cook it as stated.

as for the salt content, I'm not a nutritionist or dietician so I'm uncomfortable labeling anything as such --- I hope you understand.

The German was born Marco James Reus on 31 May 1989 in the then West Germany. Of German, English, and Russian descent, the player was raised in Germany by his parents, Thomas Reus and Manuela Reus as the only son. Just as it is with many other great footballers, Reus began playing since he was a little boy and he was encouraged by his parents who helped him to get into a youth club. He has elder sisters named Yvonne and Melanie Reus with whom he grew up. A German professional soccer player who has made a name for himself with the country's national team and the German side Borussia Dortmund, Marco Reus is an attacker who has been playing football since he began his youth career in 1994. Having played important roles for both his club and country, Marcos was called up in the build-up to the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia to represent the country. Here is all to know about him. Marco Reus has no wife and he has never been married. Nevertheless, he has been in a number of relationships in the past. He was in a relationship with Carolin Bohs from 2009 to 2013 when they walked their separate ways. Bohs who was said to be a TV presenter in Germany and the football player had known each other since they were teenagers.
After their relationship ended, he would go on in 2015 to begin dating German model Scarlett Gartmann. Since then, the two have remained together.

Invader Zim Returns! DOOM!
Hello Invader Zim, We Have Missed You
Did we need more Invader Zim? Uncharacteristically of me, I'm saying yes, we did. Nothing I have ever seen is like Invader Zim—it was on another level of strange, of weird, of dark. Sure, shows like Rick and Morty have some truly twisted stuff, but Invader Zim was made for kids.
And it blew my mind. The plot was strange; the characters certainly memorable. But, really, the thing that got me was the depictions of most adult characters. Everyone in this show is disgusting, melodramatic, and insane. The whole show seemed to be fed up with modern society and take constant potshots at it.
Invader Zim Had Some Seriously Strong Cynicism
And, I'm okay with more of that. I think there should be children's cartoons that are just flat out cynical and angsty. Some kids like the macabre, some kids like gross things, and those people should have a way—a media outlet—to get it without exposing themselves to horror movies or shows that are beyond their years.
And, if this limited trailer is enough proof, this new movie keeps the spirit alive. The character designs are suitably ugly—and yet stylish—and the sense of humor appears to be intact. The slightly updated animation style, I'll admit, threw me a bit, as Zim's world is supposed to look dirty and ugly—and these scenes are perhaps a little too cleanly animated—but Dib looked suitably disheveled in a few scenes, and that random woman slamming into the glass with teeth like pieces of chalk gave me hope. That woman is peak Invader Zim.
The Grimey, Gross Look Of Invader Zim Is Distinct
And I want peak Invader Zim.
It's time for GIR to make us smile again, for Zim to be both lovable and a sociopath, for Gaz to be secretly a genius, and for Dib to fail constantly to get anyone else to notice anything weird.
I may be blinded by nostalgia goggles here, but, if I can't have my sequel to Codename: Kids Next Door, then at least give me my favorite "doom" screaming alien and make him like he never left.

A motorcade from Salem Centre to Festival City featuring the 2013 Festival Queen and Teenage Pageant delegates, described as disappointing preceded the official opening. But there was a sizeable crowd at the village to witness the opening ceremony and events.
In a ZJB radio news report, Coordinator of the Festival opening Neilson Duberry said, "We expected more persons but nevertheless, the few that came out, we did have a ball." However he was overwhelmed by the grand attendance at the opening of festival, which followed the motorcade.
Parliamentary Secretary, the Honourable Jermaine Wade declared the 51st annual Montserrat Festival opened as he announced, "As we try our best to embrace what we have a Montserratians and visitors and friends of Montserrat I implore upon you to have a safe one , to fully participate, come to all of the events and support to the fullest Festival 2013."
Sensing some doubt, he began to look forward to the future of festivals. "We will look at the economics of it; we will look in the future years at how we can make festivals more efficient. How we can improve on the standards, and how we can live to an international level that Montserrat festival will be a amongst the best of the best within the region, in fact, within the world,…" he said, as he continued to thank sponsors and all involved in staging the festival. "You are an important element of ensuring that our festival is successful," he concluded.
Meanwhile events coordinator, Veta Wade called newness and innovation; for preservation of Festival's African origins to be submerged, and protected. "As we all continue to work together for the love of our Festival we must continue to encourage and create newness in this celebration."
"Innovation is important," she said. "Our Festival must evolve ad the same time. We must not allow our Festival's African origins to be submerged, we must protect it's Africaness."
Viona Alexander-Smith and Warren M. Cassell performed and entertained as the MCs for the opening events. Along with the masqueraders featuring for the first time, women masquerades serenading on stage, the queen and teen pageant contestants paraded, while the national youth choir looked huge on stage giving their rendition of Arrow's, "Proud to be Montserratian".
Miss Goosey and the new Mr. Goosey made appearances, with Soca artist Garvin 'Scrappy' Johnson and Trevon 'Trevele' Pollard, bringing down curtains to the opening.

"I dreamed I was in the river..." Though this doesn't seem to be a collaboration, it's one of the prettier images to emerge from this session. The soft sterile sublimity is surreal.
a0LB-eben.jpg: Lynn Bry then Ed Stastny
"when the world ends, i will" A deep scarey symmetry of a cranium submitted by Bry. This greyscale burns itself through the screen.
a0lb2f5a5-corpse.jpg: Lynn Bry, Ranjit Bhatnagar, Andy Booth and Ed Stastny
A twist on the old parlor game exquisite corpse, this image was created from the seed image of a woman posing which was divvied out into four sections, one assigned to each collaborator. Top to bottom: Ed, Lynn, Andy, Ranjit. This "corpse" idea eventually evolved into a whole 'nother SYNERGY project.
a2tori.jpg: ???
Another not-so-collaborative piece...this one was between ??? and Tori Amos. She floats loungingly. "Sometimes you just have to panic!", she sighs. A buzzword is immortalfied. The artist might have been Kevin Yoon, hard to tell since several people were using the incorrect IDs on their images.
c7a2a5paris-1.jpg: Harlan Wallach then ??? and then Ranjit Bhatnagar.
Again, I apologise for the mystery artist. This "paris" image, submitted by Harlan, is perhaps the MOST manipulated image in SYNERGY history. I believe there were over 3 dozen separate manipulations. You can see the progress of these images on Harlan's ART*HOLE webbification.

I was lucky enough to go to the EAA (Erotic Author's Assoc) conference in Las Vegas and not only did I meet a great group of editors and authors, both local and from as far as New York, but that meant I got a great new group of books to read. Some of the books on my ginormous TBR list are by a new-to-me author named Mahalia Levey, who came all the way from Missouri.
Today, I wanted to introduce you guys to Mahalia Levey, and her super sexy, very spicy, extra naughty paranormals.
She writes erotic paranormal romance, and I have fallen in love with this cover:
Enforcer Makhi didn't expect to fall for a woman. However, one look at the new female in need of defending brings out the dead emotions of his incubus. Be it the fates will to bless him as her counterpart, he plans to teach her the fine art of self-control and satisfy her on every level imaginable.
Kamaria Valentin is scared for her life. Blackouts, strange cravings for violence and blood have plagued her for the last two years. Add hot sex dreams with a nameless face and she's one hot mess. Ready to break, the need for answers pushes her to free herself from the prison holding her a drugged captive.
Caedon Bolton searches for the lost. Deities looking for home, for sanctuary. One night a vulnerable soul screams out to him in her dreams, he must find her and save her from the brink of death. Once he has Kama in his arms, Caedon realizes only he can give her the emotional support she craves.
Isn't he HAWT?! His is set in her hell realm along with
Born of a Navajo healer and a high-level prince of Hell, The Dine Gods demanded Fatal be turned over to her mother's tribe to learn their healing arts and kept away from demon hands. But with her tutelage came cruel segregation and disrespect because of her father's heritage. Not knowing why her life has suddenly come under demon attack, Fatal sets out, armed with her knowledge and her fighting skills, to take out any evil that gets in her way.
As prince of a lower level of Hell, Orobus signed a contract in blood that he be betrothed to Fatal, the high prince of Hell's half-breed daughter. Oracle by birth, he isn't privy to complete visions with regard to himself. Having forgotten the fateful night he signed the agreement, he's thrust into the fight of his life—the fight to claim his woman! Come Hell or high water, he will take care of what is rightfully his, even if it means making her face both sides of her heritage and teaching her there is no shame.
These are her demonic heroes who are set on earth:
Jaida Winters strived to be the epitome of a perfect daughter, following every rigid rule without question. Wondering what she missed out on in her strict life, she's ready for a little independence, and decides it's time to throw caution to the wind. A tattoo is the first step to a new attitude.
Incubus Torquatus Darkblood remains locked within a talisman for the crimes of seducing a witch's charge. His release lies within the ink of a tattoo drawn on
a young woman's skin. When Jaida's pain calls to him, Torq finds he doesn't just want sinful pleasure of the flesh, he wants the woman whose soul cries freedom.
Going into heat is never easy. With her pack's rigid rules, Alana Merona must find a male to sate her sexual needs on their terms. Unfortunately, the demon she has her eye on doesn't meet their hard line. But with a naughty plan in
mind, Alana is going to use The Delightful Kitty Club to her full advantage.
Owner of the Delightful Kitten, Drake Sullivan never partakes of the offered treats until a sexy were tempts him beyond reason.

A man in his mid to late 40s visited his doctor with concerns of prostate cancer. This was due to the fact that his father and other family members had died due to prostate cancer. The doctor agreed that it was time to begin screening the patient for prostate cancer. As a result, a PSA was done and it revealed a 1.5.
One year later, the patient goes back to the doctor for a physical and another PSA was done. This time the number had doubled and the doctor reassured the patient that things were ok. Over the next two years the patient returned to his doctor but PSAs were not done. The patient complained to the doctor about this but the doctor repeatedly told him that the tests were done and that he had reviewed the results. Nothing was out of the ordinary.
Fast forward in time and the patient was able to contact the doctor and finally get the doctor to perform a PSA. Once it was done, it revealed a score of over 12. The patient had developed prostate cancer and eventually died as a result of the cancer.
A review of the records showed that the doctor was not performing the tests and that the patient was indeed voicing concerns and complaints. In addition, if the patient's condition would have been monitored better, the patient would have had a good chance of survival with treatment.
If you think that your doctor has not been listening to your complaints, or performing screening tests for your prostate cancer, and these failures have contributed to your prostate cancer being misdiagnosed, we invite you to pick up the phone and give us a call. We can be reached at 301-850-4832. We answer Maryland medical malpractice questions like yours all the time and we would be glad to hear your story. Here at Boston Law Group, LLC we are in the business of providing educational information to the public regarding Maryland medical malpractice law…it's what we do!

Gaming laptops have always occupied an uncomfortable space- who exactly do they aim at? They are too expensive and bulky for the casual customer, and, because of their closed up nature as well as weaker mobile chipsets, not appealing to the hardcore, build your own rig PC gamer either.
That has never stopped anyone from trying, however, and now Razer has announced the Blade Laptop- billed to be the world's thinnest and lightest, the laptop features a staggering 16GB of RAM, as well as the Nvidia GTX 970M card, with 3GB of VRAM. The screen is 14″, and all of this will set you back by a pretty penny too, as it costs $2,200.
Razer also tried to get in a word for the laptop's general purpose utility- apparently it's faster hard drive and memory speeds makes it better and faster at handling all tasks in general, and boot up times are affected especially positively.
"We continue to listen as gamer needs evolve and the new Razer Blade again sets the industry standard by which gaming laptops are measured," Razer co-founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan said in a statement.
I mean, I think it's a very nice piece of hardware, and I'd get it, but $2,200 is a lot. How about you guys?

OpenCourseWare: PE.810 SailingPE.810 Sailing
Throughout 2006 and into 2007 the MIT Sailing Pavilion Team put together a sailing course which is now avilable online via MIT OpenCourseWare. As any OCW class, it is freely available to the world.
The purpose of this class is to tell you something about our Tech Dinghy and how to sail it. This OCW site is arranged as a series of skills, explained both with lecture notes and videos. Please do not think of these skill checks as tests, but instead, as measures of your understanding of our sport. We don't expect perfection from our beginners, but only that our members be able to safely handle the boats and themselves on the Charles. For those who wish it, there will be much more that can be learned about other boats and other waters, but what can be learned here will provide the basis to build on. For more detail, a text on sailing the Tech Dinghy is provided in the readings section.

Looks like my Tzeentch Arcanites army will get some much awaited reinforcements. So lets take a look shall we?
|Wow, really good in combat and a good caster too? Yes thank you. Love the looks of this guy, and the rules seem really great as well.
|The Gaunt Summoner was a big let down with the first rules for him on a disc. This however looks so much better, the spell can really dish out a lot of mortal wounds to big units. Loves how he also have his familiars with him.
|Love the looks of these guys, not to sure about the rules. Fluffy but no power house. They mix and match their weapons though which is really interesting. Allocate suffered wounds on shield guys, and have the others fight back.
|Does not seem like a power house either but a fluffy and decent unit. 2 wounds is always nice and mix of weapons like the Acolytes
|Yay! Just like the god ol days Pink Horrors now can turn into two Blue Horrors when they die, wow if a unit of 20 Pink Horrors die in one turn they are turned into 40 blue horrors!
|And if the Blue Horrors die they become Brimstone Horrors! Haha love it.
|Awesome model and the Illusory Twin rule is just fantastic, must play with this dude some time.
|Another unit that can mix and match weapons, love the mechanic and these can also have some missile weapons.

Caveat Vendor
5 Things Companies Should Consider in Reaction to the EU Decision on Safe Harbor
October 26, 2015
The Global Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice
Yesterday, in a landmark
In response to the decision (and some in preparation for it), clients who are currently depending on Safe Harbor to transfer data from the EU to the United States (or as the backbone of global transfers) have been taking or considering one or more of the following approaches to minimize compliance and enforcement risks:
Put Model Contracts in Place (also BCRs Longer Term). Putting in place Model Contracts/Intra-Group Agreements (or even outsourcing data storage or certain IT operations to vendors with data transfer mechanisms in place) to cover any data transfer or access gaps they feel they may have (as a longer term solution, some companies are considering binding corporate rules as one additional data transfer mechanism to also put in place);
Review Data Flows and Prioritize Remediation. Inventorying what personal data are being stored and transferred and prioritize key data transfer activities that must remain intact (business or operationally critical) and focus efforts toward ensuring data transfer and storage solutions are in place or can be rerouted or stored in a way to minimize risks (or avoid using a Safe Harbor-supported pathway);
Contract Analysis. Analyzing existing contracts where there could be a breach based on the European Court of Justice opinion (or pursuant to a subsequent determination in an European Economic Area (EEA) member country), and, in such analysis, prioritizing the relationships and contracts to review data transfer pathways and compliance and/or to identify alternative legal or data architecture solutions;
Consider EU Country-by-Country Leeway. Identifying where servers in the EU are located, and the specific local requirements and privacy protections, as national authorities will have greater leeway; and
Outreach to DPAs and Monitor Consumer Complaints. Reaching out to Data Protection Authorities to build relationships and trust, while also updating consumer complaint and redress procedures to heighten alert to any specific requests or complaints as we expect more individuals to raise issues and concerns around privacy and data transfers.

Daegu Government Apologizes For Post About COVID-19 And "Foreigners"
Colorfuldaegu, the Daegu Metropolitan Government's official Facebook page, has apologized for an unintentionally discriminatory post regarding the Daegu Lantern Festival, Corona19 (COVID-19), and foreigners.
On March 2, Colorfuldaegu announced that foreigners would not be permitted to attend Daegu Lantern Festival 2020 in order to prevent COVID-19 from spreading. As a result, the Daegu government has been accused of discrimination and even racism by English-speaking Facebook users.
In response, Colorfuldaegu apologized for the deleted post's "inappropriate words" and announced the festival's postponement.
Many commenters, however, did not find this apology sincere, nor the explanation satisfactory.
Colofuldaegu has since posted a second, more heartfelt apology. The administrator explained that their poor wording was the result of a "lack of English" skills not discrimination.
So far, this apology has been better received than the previous one, but not by all. Some still feel that the original post was more than a simple language blunder.
Other commenters have pointed out that safety should be the top concern in this matter, and that safety precautions such as these are not intended to divide people, but rather protect them all.
