The Japan Gyoza Federation has some inappropriate taste in advertising
Photos on the Japan Gyoza Federation's homepage are creating a little buzz. And the buzz has absolutely nothing to do with gyoza.
First of all, who knew there was a Japan Gyoza Federation? Second of all, who the hell does their advertising? Marketing? PR? Some photos were put up on their homepage, and visitors to the site seem to be talking more about the strange photos than gyoza. Somebody with creative control of the federation's homepage produced photo shoots, probably to attract hip, younger people. But something is a little off... When you see the photos, you'll understand. And when you read what they say, you're really gonna wonder what's going on. But this is a good sign, right? It means this gyoza federation knows and cares about nothing other than gyoza! Why would they know, or care for that matter, how to make anything look hip? The Japan Gyoza Federation is about gyoza. It boasts 2000 loyal members! So what if their gyoza campaign photos make no sense? Who cares? Not them, that's for sure.
At least they tried, even though these gyoza people are sooooo out of touch. As long as you try!
But there's a reason they're so out of touch. There's only thing that matters to them, only one thing they spend all their time thinking about.
Eating gyoza.
* All gyoza campaign photos have been translated word for word
When I hear the gyoza frying, I'll turn around for you...
I'll have the most expensive gyoza in the restaurant.
I could eat 69. Of course, I'm talking about the number of gyoza. (seriously, that's what it says)
Is that really a gyoza? (look what she's doing with her hands!)
Eleven stars. One House. Endless possibilities. Watch the new reality TV show Roommate.
That gyoza... Amazing...
Throw that gyoza in my mouth!!!
Did you just say gyoza?

The Chicken Bandit takes the old Western theme and puts it into a game where the main character writes a chicken to rob trains. If that doesn't sound fun, I don't know what does. The Chicken Bandit starts out with a little bit of tutorial. The controls use a combination of tilting Android device in the direction the bandit needs to run and dragging and tapping on the screen.
himAs the bandit is running alongside the train, there are open windows and doors with valuable items being shown. Sometimes these windows also have a shooting robot cowboys in them. Other windows and doors are closed. There may still be valuable items behind them, seeing a closed window just means the bad it needs to shoot it open or use dynamite.
When trying to nab some of the valuable items, the bandit uses a combination of a gun and a lasso. The gun is the first weapon available to the bandit is used to shoot the robot cowboys and also to blast open windows and doors. The lasso is used to snag items. As the bandits running by, drag a finger from the bandit to the item and he will throw a lasso around the item. To reel them back in, tap the item a few times and the bandit will reel the item back in.
The game's progression will bring other weapons to help The Chicken Bandit. Dynamite is later used to help blow open larger doors. Using the money stolen, upgrades are able to be purchased.
Like any good game, at the end of the stage is a "Big Boss" to fight. By the time the end of this stage is reached, there should be a few add-ons and other skills available to help knock the boss down a peg or two. One other cool thing expected in every old West game, is a shootout. The Chicken Bandit also has Quick Draw duels.

I'm exhausted. What a fun camp that was. It was such an honor to be invited to work along side of such great coaches and athletes. But I'm ready for a rest. In the future I'm going to be better about asking someone who is more able to demonstrate drills and skills while I talk about them, instead of being the crash test dummy myself. My spine is extremely upset with me.
Since day one I have been wanting to get on the runway to take a few jumps. For starters, the weather is amazing and not taking advantage of it would just be insane but also I wanted to turn up a few big jumps for the campers. Even at the age I am now, its always fun and inspiring to see someone in action who can perform at a level higher than your own. So today, day 3 of the camp, I decided to jump a bit with the group I've been teaching. Technically the session wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. After viewing it on video I am still seeing one major problem, but one of the important changes I have been visualizing was apparent, and that is progress. I'd have to say that overall the workout was a success in that I was jumping again after almost a month, and I had a great time doing it.
The pain in my back is not what it was two weeks ago, but it's not pleasant either. I'm trying to remember a time I've jumped without pain, and I can't seem to drum up a memory less than 2 years old. People continue to ask me, "What will you do when you are done competing as an athlete?" Meaning career wise, and I never have an answer for them. It's actually a subject that I don't meditate on. I figure that if I stay positive and focused on what I am doing right now, something good is bound to come up in the future. But recently I have finally found a suitable answer to the question; I'm going to get medical insurance, one way or another. In November, my 31st birthday marked 8 years I have now lived without medical insurance. Those of you who know me well, and know how frequently I tend to injure myself, know that I've been dealt a lot of pain in those 8 long years and will most likely be dealt even more in the 8 to come.
At the moment I remain in the now. Right now, I'm in sunny southern
, I'm even sun burnt. Before I left the trees for this visit I got a text saying a young up and coming vaulter from California via Arizona State named Derick Hinch needed a ride halfway down I-5 to go and assist with one of the legendary Jan Johnson vault camps. Meeting for the first time, we had lots to talk about and as luck would have it, he informed me that a bunch of like minded vault folk are getting together this Saturday, down in the Huntington beach area, to do some jumping and invited me to tag along. So I plan to join them, enjoy a few more days in the sun, some good company, and maybe even some more small success. The camp director has been gracious enough to extend my stay at the host hotel for a few more days. One of those days I plan to do a light warm up, but mainly hibernate, in hopes that I will summon or manifest some reserve energy stored away in a secret place that my subconscious saved for a special occasion in order to take advantage of these wonderful temperatures one last time.

Severe weather
Pensacola Flooding During and After
- stein0726, CNN iReport producer
I was almost victim of the flooding a few days ago as I drove my van through what looked to be very shallow water in a strip mall parking lot, only to find out it as over 2 feet deep! My van managed to get to the edge of the deep water before stalling out. It restarted back up and all was fine. But for many others in my neighborhood and city, they were no so lucky. I posted a report showing the images during the flooding so I thought I would post some aftermath from the photo I took that became very popular. Also I found that the Lost Sole I took a blurry photo of due to the downpour, had settled nicely onto what is now dry ground, and got a clean shot of it this time.

The Quick Solution
Without getting into too much detail about the use of Source vs. Linked markers, I want to present a strategy for tracking down each marker type for given views. There are several ways to find a views source and linked markers.
First, there is a setting to show/highlight the source markers. If there is a reasonable density of source markers, it becomes easy to discern between the source and linked markers.
There is also a setting in the work environment to adjust the color of the highlight from standard yellow to any color or RGB code.
This has limited efficacy, since what you normally see is something like this:
The Correct Solution
So a simpler, and better solution is to obtain a direct connection to the source marker and a list of the linked markers. First, click on any marker, linked or source, or open the view from the view map or project map. Once the view is open, click on it, and select the project map from the navigator. The current view will be shown in Bold in the project map list.
From here you can right click and select either "Select N marker on the Home Story and zoom to it", or "Find Linked Markers".
The first option very simply zooms to the location of the source marker and selects it. The second option provides a list of all linked markers associated with that source view. If there are multiple instances or references to a single view map item in several markers, this will give a list of the marker type and location, and allow you to jump to that linked marker directly.
For more information on linked vs. source markers and how they work see:

The founder of Exquisite Magazine, Mrs Tewa Onasanya is one of the champions for women empowerment in Nigeria.
Onasanya is also the founder of the ELOY Awards, and in this interview with 360Nobs, spoke about the awards, her opinion on feminism and much more.
Read the interview below!
What prompted the creation of the ELOY awards?
The ELOY which is acronym for the Exquisite Ladies of the Year awards was started in 2009, when we at Exquisite magazine felt there was a big gap between men being honoured at award ceremonies and women being honoured. In fact there were no awards ceremony dedicated to women to show that women are also doing exceptionally well in different fields across Nigeria and beyond. Since we are a woman focused magazine, we decided go bridge that gap. We decided to be at the forefront, celebrating women of excellence in different fields. Our big aim, is to be able to motivate, empower and inspire women to be the best version of themselves, while celebrating them and encouraging others. We also use the ELOYs as a platform to continue to increase the awareness for cervical cancer.
The ELOY Awards currently recognizes women in mainly fashion and entertainment. How are you looking to inspire women in other fields?
The ELOY awards does not only recognise women in fashion and entertainment, we recognise ALL women in ALL fields. The ELOY awards is divided into two set, ones set of categories are nominated and voted for by the public and then looked at by the judges and the second set of categories are Recognition awards which we call the ladies who inspire awards. These Ladies who inspire awards span across all sectors of life, from ladies in agriculture to ladies in education, ladies in health, ladies in engineering, humanitarian and many more. The second set of categories are nominated for by the public and following our research, the judges deliberate and then choose winners to be recognised. In total we will be giving away 22 awards this year. 11 from the first category which include designers, entertainers, photographers and more and the other 11 for ladies who inspire in other fields that are not entertainment related.
With the awards currently in its 6th year, how happy are you with how far you've come, and what are your plans for the next 6 years?
Actually, we are in our 8th year. We held the first ELOYs in 2009 and this year will be the 8th edition. So far, we believe we have come a very long way and still have more grounds to cover. I mean each year, we give out 20 to 22 awards to women in different fields and we are sure there are so many other fields that need to be put in the limelight, so other ladies can know that they could do this or that if they wanted to. This is why, every year, we take some award categories out and replace with new ones that we identify. In one of the past years, we've nominated and awarded female Dj's, ladies in sports and more. The ELOYs is now the most talked about award ceremony for women in Nigeria. Every year, ladies in Nigeria and away from Nigeria are looking to Exquisite magazine to see who will be nominated and awarded with an ELOY. Our plan for the next 8 years, we can only get better as the year progresses, we work to be better each year, make it more interesting, more appealing, more everything we can, to continue to make the ELOYs relevant and most sought after award for women. We plan to be able to continue to Celebrate, Empower, Motivate and Inspire (CEMI) all women through our CEMI honours and initiative.
READ: Nominees Have Been Announced For The 2016 ELOY Awards
You've stated in the past that you created Exquisite Magazine to "empower women". Looking at Nigeria at a whole, is that an aim that has been achieved, or is there still much to be done?
There is still so much to be done. We are constantly thinking of and reinventing ways to keep empowering women. We are doing our bit at Exquisite magazine with the magazine itself and events and we do join forces with other companies to continue to do this. We are working on the fact that with our being consistent and determined, we will succeed. It has to be said as well that we can only do so much, hence joint effort by all is required to empower all women in Nigeria as a whole.
From Nigerian celebrities like Chimamanda Adichie to international stars like Beyonce, the word "feminism" has been thrown about a lot recently. What is your opinion and stand on feminism?
I think feminism means different things to different people. In as much as I advocate for women liberation and rights, I feel that, we as human beings are not equal, therefore I don't want to be equal to a man or another women. I want to be treated the same though and fairly. I don't want my rights as a human being questioned because I am a woman. I want to be treated the same as my male counterpart and female counterpart in the society. I strongly believe that we are all unique and different and we all bring different things to the table. What I do not want, is for the table to be divided and ruled unequally based on the fact that I'm a woman. We should all have the same rights and opportunities and most importantly everyone, male or female, know their place in the society and at home.

M: That pool looks totally fabulous. I would totally hang out there all the time if I could, and just bring along a book and some snacks!
E: Backyard BBQs or meals are always fun for me. And someday, when I own a house, I'd love to have a place with a feel similar to yours – relaxing and homey.
I am SUPER envious of your pool and backyard space! One of the drawbacks of living in the city I suppose… when can I come visit both of you? 😉
Our new neighborhood has a pool (insert celebration here!) and today was our first day laying out. I got a sunburn (no surprise there), but it was SO worth it to get some reading in with the sun shining and sound of kids playing. Loved it!
Also, I almost got the Kermit-colored chairs but ended up going with brown at the last minute. Still love your color though!
Okay, my neighborhood pool looks like you'll get a disease if you get in the water. So I am so freakin' jealous over here.
AND OMG BACKPORCH GRILLING AND BEERING AND READING. I love it and the Kermit chairs.
Seriously, you guys have great reading spots!
I love seeing where you both read! My community pool is super fancy but I don't really go with it because you need an ID and the ID machine is broken every time I try to get one, haha. I love that you both read outside, I need to do that more often. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE the Kermit chairs! and that pool area looks lovely! Unfortunately, I can't stand the heat and bugs around here, lol! The humidity can be so wicked! I will sit on my deck in the early morning hours, but once that sun starts to peek, I'm in the a/c right next to the window in my cushy rocking chair from Ikea, lol 😉
Aww… I love this post! My favourite summer reading spot is definitely our patio. We live in a condo with a great outdoor area and, since it rains the majority of the year, we have a very short window of time to enjoy sitting outside. I spent last weekend getting the patio all cleaned up, and now hoping that we'll have a good stretch of time to enjoy it! Although I need to find some Adirondack chairs to add; there is seriously no type of chair that is more comfortable!!
Magan, your neighborhood pool is fancy!! haha I wouldn't mind hanging out there all summer 😉
Estelle, I LOVE your kermit chair!! So cute. And yay for summertime spirits 🙂

Daniel crawls into a waste crusher after a building collapse – and then it gets switched on! Tak's class goes on excursion to an army base and now an experimental military robot is hunting them."

Princess Parsley by Pamela Rushby
Omnibus Books, RRP $16.99
Princess Parsley is hilarious. Parsley is a lovable character but how embarrassing being named Parsley! And her dad doesn't make it any easier on poor Parsley. He had a disagreement with the local council and everyone found out, Parsley then became known as 'Princess Parsley', not a great way to become popular in her first year of high school. But Parsley handles the situation in her own unique way, bringing about plenty of laughs along the way.

Investment Management
Investments are a key component of a successful personal financial plan. We can help you:
- Clarify and prioritize your goals
Build a plan
- Investment Policy Statement
- Determine risk tolerance
- Investment allocation strategy
- Comprehensive and cohesive to include all of your investable assets
Take Action, Monitor, and Adjust
- Ongoing monitoring of your portfolio
- Independent guidance
Key elements of our investment philosophy:
Investment strategy should support your financial plan. Investing is one of four pillars of personal financial success. It needs to tie into your overall plan.
- Maintain diversification. For executives and attorneys, diversification is often hard to achieve. With both your income and often equity grants tied to your company, you may need customized strategies to maintain a diversified wealth portfolio.
- Be consistent. Rather than trying to time when to get in and out of the markets, staying the course for long periods of time may improve your chances of success. Also, historically markets have moved up in a matter of days and you don't want to miss out.
- Avoid emotional decision-making. By establishing your investment policy and strategy during "calm" times, we will follow that to avoid making decisions fueled by emotions such as fear or over-confidence.
Focus on what you can control. None of us can control the markets. What we can control is how much we earn by the jobs we choose, how much we spend, and how much we save - the other pillars of financial success. You can also control how you invest and our process focuses on developing and implementing an investment strategy that supports your goals and objectives.
With fiduciary responsibility and a fee structure that compensates us solely for the advice we provide, you can rest assured that KHC Wealth Management will always endeavor to act in your best interest.
Take a look at how we help.

If your business is ever taken to court over a health and safety issue, your insurance will cover any legal costs that you need
Answer some quick questions about your business.
Your answers determine the level of cover you require and the different options you can select.
Review your options and choose the right deal for your business requirements
Employers Liability Insurance is the only insurance that is compulsory for any business that employs staff. This includes full and part time staff, temporary staff, self-employed contractors and even volunteers. Employers Liability Insurance helps you protect all of these workers from injury in the workplace, or any illness that occurs as a direct result of their work.
Your policy covers the cost of any compensation you may need to pay out, plus any legal fees that occur as a result of an employee making a claim. It also protects you against former employees making claims against you.
As this insurance is compulsory, you could be liable to large fines if you are not covered and you have employees – this could be up to £2,500 per day. These can also be backdated so you could be at risk for huge fees if you go for a substantial period of time without insurance.
The level of cover you choose is completely dependant on your business and the number of employees you have – you have to be covered for at least £5 million but many businesses require cover for much larger sums than that as they have large numbers of employees.

Using just a few basic ingredients, you can make your own DIY cosmetics, such as this simple-yet-luxurious organic skin toner.
By K.C. Compton
Subscribe to the MOTHER EARTH NEWS & Friends YouTube Channel
You use facial toner to perk up your complexion and reduce under-eye puffiness, you might be astonished at the price of over-the-counter skin toner — from $10 a bottle to over $60 (if you insist on royal bee jelly in your face toner). Over a few years of daily use that ends up being a pricey personal care product.
Making organic skin toner, which you can also use as a face cleanser, takes about two minutes. Homemade organic skin care products — which are all silly-easy to make — will keep your skin from absorbing chemicals you can barely pronounce and certainly don't want on your face.
The ingredients for this facial toner are witch hazel, green tea or cold coffee, and essential oils for aroma and preservation. Mix the essential oils to suit your taste and start your own customized natural skin care line right at your kitchen counter.
The MOTHER EARTH NEWS staff has been featured in videos covering topics from seed starting to skin toner. Check out our full collection of wiser living videos on our video page.

The Cyber Crimes Department affirmed that it has registered 20 cases against an Arab gang that has been blackmailing youths. The department revealed that the gang, which consists of some Arab girls, has been using the social networking website 'Instagram' to become friendly with youths who have accounts in the website and encourage them to strip on webcam.
However, this gang would take snapshots of the youths and later use them to blackmail the youths. The department warned users of social networking websites to refrain from accepting 'friend requests' from unknown people and to avoid using the webcam or the camera of mobile phones to take personal pictures.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Granted, I was never aware of a tech guru named Steve Jobs at the time of Apple's unveiling of the infamous Apple II computer. Hell, I didn't even own a computer at that time.
I had for a brief moment a Commodore 64 at the tender young age of 16 years during the hot summer of 1984 growing up in a small suburb of Copenhagen.
Fast forward 31 years and I am an Apple Fanboy. Go figure.
San Francisco's 7,000-seat Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
Apple still hasn't made an announcement as to where next month's iPhone 6s event will take place. However, according to a new report it may be set to rock San Francisco's 7,000-seat Bill Graham Civic Auditorium — the same venue where Steve Jobs and Wozniak first unveiled the Apple II.
The building has been hired for a week-long "private event†lasting from September 4 until September 13, which would be more than enough time for Apple to make the necessary preparations, such as installing product banners, setting up demos, and the like.

I am interested in the Tesco Hudl and despite Which? Magazine's praise for the machine I think two aspects are unclear. Can one print from it relatively easily i.e., not via a Cloud? More importantly for me and I think many others, is does Skype work fluently? If there are issues, can they be brought under control?
John England, by email
If you are asking if it possible to plug your printer into your Hudl, or any Android tablet or smartphone for that matter, then the answer is no. In spite of your misgivings the Google Cloud Printing really is the simplest and best method, and probably not as complicated as you may think. In fact it is virtually effortless if you have a Cloud Print enabled printer, but you can use any ordinary printer, the only stipulation is that it has to be connected to a PC linked to your home network, or the Internet. All you have to do is load the Cloud Print App on your Hudl (free from Google Play) and install the Google Chrome browser on your computer. Enable Cloud Printing (Settings > Advanced Setting), log on with your Google account and it is ready to use. If there is a compelling reason why you cannot use Cloud Printing there are indirect alternatives. Copy the file to be printed to the Micro SD card, remove it and using an adaptor, plug it into your PC and print it from there. You can also copy the file to a USB memory stick, using an OTG (On The Go) adaptor, or send it to yourself, as an email attachment.
Skype does work on the Hudl but some users have had problems with it, and there are suggestions that it that it helps if you establish a voice connection first, before switching to a video linkup. There doesn't seem to be a single cause, though, but issues like these are being addressed all of the time so it make sure that you have the latest version, and ask your contacts to do the same.

He Life Me depicts that precious lifting in the midst of a season of humbling even as we are reminded of our need to stay humble always especially in a moment of honoring.
"So bow down under God's strong hand; then when the time comes, God will lift you up." 1 Peter 5:6 (VOICE)
"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down [to eat] at the place of honor, since a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by the host, and he who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this man your place,' and then, in disgrace you proceed to take the last place. But when you are invited, go and sit down [to eat] at the last place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; and then you will be honored in the presence of all who are at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled [before others], and he who habitually humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 14:8-11 (AMP)

The Department of Economics
The Grunberg Lecture Series
The Fourteenth Lecture - Tuesday, April 24, 2001
|Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz
Joan Kennedy Professor, Department of Economics
Stanford University
2001 Nobel Prize in Economics
"Globalization and Its Discontents: What's Wrong and How To Fix It"
Professor Stiglitz has been a major figure in international and national economic policy over recent years, as chief economist of the World Bank and earlier as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors. This experience has led him to be a controversial public critic of the role of the IMF and World Bank in the world trade system. Professor Stiglitz has also made major contributions to the theory of information and risk, the role of government and the economics of technical change. He was awarded the John Bates Clark medal which is given to an outstanding economist under 40. He is uniquely qualified to speak on the problems of global markets and global capital.

The young climber has racked up a good tally of routes already. We dropped him a line to get full details:
"It kicked off for me last weekend (3rd & 4th Dec) when I was a host on the STS Meet on the Ben.
I managed to repeat The Minge (VII,8) on Saturday with Fiona Murray, and then go on to do a new line, The Big Cheese (VIII/8) on the Sunday with Harry Holmes and James Higgins. This got me warmed up and psyched for some harder winter madness."
Greg then stepped it up a notch the following week, teaming up with Cumbria-based climber Will Sim:
"On Sunday I spoke to Will about conditions and on Monday evening he arrived at my front door in Fife after driving north from St. Bees, eager and ready for everything Scottish winter could throw at us.
On Tuesday we repeated the MacLeod route Defenders of the Faith (IX,9), which is a route I've been wanting to do for a while now. After a bit of grunting and groaning and a small helping of pump, I made my way up the steep grooves and roofs that are common with this route and eventually managed to make the second on-sight ascent of this amazing sustained pitch."
Over the next couple of days Will and Greg teamed up with James Dunn and climbed more routes on the Ben:
"The first was a very stormy and spindrifty ascent of The Great Chimney which was our 'Plan B' after trying a new line, which is to be continued at a later date...
The second route we did on the Ben was the second ascent of The Knuckleduster (VIII,9). We climbed the route following the summer line throughout, which took in two new different pitches to the way it was climbed by Blair Fyffe and Steve Ashworth on the FWA. This made for a very sustained route which definitely packed a punch.
So 8 days of winter and 6 routes done! I think its going to be a good season."

- Store at least 1 meter away from building eaves and beams and, in the case of bagged fertilizer, also from walls.
- If you stack on pallets, they have to be placed on a firm drained surface. If you place the pallets on top of each other, make sure you have a firm base.
- Do not store in bulk materials which are incompatible near each other e.g. urea near ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers; keep them well separated. Never mix fertilizers without dividing the stock in trade. Keep lime and fertilizer well separated. (See compatibility matrix and physical properties of fertilizers)
Storage of Fertilizer
Good storage and house-keeping practices are always important to ensure a safe workplace. Where possible, fertilizers should be stored in a closed, secure storage place to protect the product from the weather (sun, rain etc.) and reduce the risk of theft. The ideal storage conditions are:
- Enclosed building capable of protecting the product from the weather and especially direct sunlight.
- Clean environment, free of dust/dirt.
- Temperature between 5 and 30˚C (some fertilizer types are sensitive to high temperatures)
- Protect the fertilizer from moisture, which can cause lumps and dust, influencing spreading capabilities
- Equipped with pallet racking to avoid the need for double stacking
- Good stock management e.g. carried out on a First In, First Out basis
Indoor storage
- The store should preferably be single store, constructed of not-readily combustible material (e. g. concrete, brick, steel).
- All buildings should have adequate provisions for ventilation to help dissipate heat and discharge fumes in a fire or decomposition.
- The floor should have a level, dry and even surface, free from pot-holes.
- Limit the height of fertilizer stacks. High stacks of bagged fertilizer can be unstable and may collapse.
- Limit the size of stacks of fertilizer bags in accordance with national regulations, if any. (300 tons for straight ammonium nitrate (> 28 % N))
- In an indoor storage on a flat surface, you can increase to three sacks in height.
- Keep the fertilizer away from any flammable material. Make sure you have a distance of at least 5 meters between the materials. Most nitrogen fertilizers contain nitrates which decomposes when heated, developing toxic nitrogen oxides already at 150˚C. Some products can even develop carbon oxides (CO, CO2) and sulfur oxides as well.
Outdoor storage
- Store on a raised level, well-drained, dry and smooth surface.
- Use a pallet beneath the bags to prevent direct contact with the ground and the water (i.e. in case of heavy rain). Only use pallets with undamaged pallet caps, they must also be free from splinters and nails.
- Stack should not lean, if they do, rebuild them immediately.
- In order to preserve product quality, place a layer of empty pallets on top of the stack prior to sheeting to prevent product deterioration due to heat effects (as advised by the manufacturer/supplier).
- Where pallet racking is not available certain combinations of pallets may be double stacked.
- Stacks should be sheeted to prevent bags from getting dirty and the sheets should be secured to the bottom layer of the stacks to prevent damage, which may be caused by rubbing and friction.
- Exercise great caution when sheeting and desheeting stacks, it should preferably be carried out in good weather conditions.
- Verify the stability of the stack before untying the sheets. Sheets may become coated with algae. This is slippery and potentially hazardous.
- In cold weather, sheeted stacks may be covered in ice. This is frequently heavy and sharp. Falling ice blocks are extremely hazardous. Ice is slippery and potentially hazardous.
- All fertilizer stored outside should be protected from the elements by covering with a tarpaulin. Anchor the tarp well around the product. Splice should overlap at least 30 cm. Keep the ground and driveways free of fertilizer spills.
For outside storage, place pallets on top of the covered fertilizer to protect against damage caused by birds to tarpaulin and bags.
For stability and safety, big bags should be stored in the form of a pyramid. Pallets stack height should be no higher than 3-pallets high depending on product, stability of the pallet and handling equipment.
Storing fertilizer in silos
Please keep in mind that some fertilizers such as Suprasalpeter N27 and Axan (and Urea) are sensitive to high temperatures and should not be stored in silos exposed to sunlight. Make sure the silo is really tight during storage. The damper, filling and vent pipes must be properly sealed to prevent ventilation.
Fertilizer for silo storage is delivered by a bulk tanker. At injection, pressure should not exceed 0.15 MPa = 1.5 kgf/cm2. This to avoid the deterioration of the grain, thus creating dust. For gentle handling, make sure the insufflation tube has a smooth bend with a large curvature radius, without internal degrees or sharp edges.
Storing liquid fertilizer
The storage requirement depends on the number of grades required at any one time, farm topography and logistics. Siting of liquid fertilizer storage tanks:
- Tank bases must be flat concrete on a hardcore base.
- All sites must be more than 10m from a watercourse (AIC).
- Create a contingency plan in event of spillage.
Storage of YaraVita
YaraVita Product types with different storage capabilities
YaraVita products are finished products designed from the start with crop nutrition in mind.

Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said there is a "double standard" when she is criticized for shouting by "male pundits" because she is a woman.
Host Jake Tapper asked, "A lot of your supporters were very upset this last week when some older male pundits suggested that you are a shouter. Now, I would observe that Bernie Sanders doesn't exactly talk in a whisper. But that said, do you think that the coverage of you is sexist? Do you think that when male pundits say things like that, they have a different standard for you?"
Clinton said, "Look, we are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it. Whether you're in the media as a woman, or you're in the professions or business or politics. And I don't know anything other to do than to just keep forging through it. Sometimes I talk soft. sometimes I get passionate and I get a little bit excited. I don't know any man who doesn't do the same thing. And I find it sort of interesting that all of a sudden this is a big discussion about me. Once again. I'm so used to this. I'm going to keep making my case. I'm going to keep talking about I'm going to keep laying out my record. Because I think it's really important that this election be actually about who can do the job that needs to be done starting in January of 2017."

|= Tapestry Project -- April 2006 Board Report =
Tapestry has been in a state of transition away from a Jakarta sub-project and to an Apache top level project.
Two new PMC members / committers have been added: Andreas Andreou and Brian K. Wallace. Andreas has been active in the external Tacos project
(Ajax components for Tapestry). He and Brian have been actively mentoring and supplying patches for months.
Bug fix releases of Tapestry 3 (release 3.0.4) and Tapestry 4 (release 4.0.1) have been released. These efforts have been spearheaded by Jesse Kuhnert and Brian K. Wallace.
We've succesfully moved the SVN repository out from under the Jakarta project. Howard Lewis Ship has taken over responsibility for granting SVN access karma to Tapestry team members.
We're beginning to formulate rules and procedures for breaking the Tapestry project into individual sub-projects. We are facing a large amount of work to convert from an Ant-based build to a Maven2-based build, primarily in terms of documentation (reams of which are currently in Forrest XML format).
We are working on a new logo for Tapestry and expect to debut the new http://tapestry.apache.org/ web site when it is ready. Our remaining transfer tasks concern other bits of infrastructure to move out from under Jakarta: the Tapestry wiki, and the Tapestry mailing lists.

newcomers (Luxembourg)
Hello all,
I am a Canadian living in Montreal but about to move to Luxembourg.
We have two daughters -2 and a half years old and 2 months old- and are in dire need of advice as to how we could best proceed. For instance, is it worth buying a house right away ( I read that rents are extremely high) or is it better to rent (maybe getting a mortgage doesn't work the same way that it does in Canada)? Where would be a nice place to live (i.e a good neighbourhood with daycares, parks, a pleasant town center within walking distance) that is also affordable?
We would greatly appreciate any tips!!!
Thank you in advance,

I firmly believe that climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. If we, as a society, want to get serious about protecting the environment, we can't keep relying on oil for our energy needs while ignoring the serious impacts of its production, consumption, and transportation. To preserve the fragile ecosystems of Anticosti Island and the St. Lawrence watershed, and also to avoid tragedies such as that experienced last summer in Lac Mégantic, Québec Solidaire pledges to ban both the production and transportation of unconventional oil in Quebec. This is a small, but important step towards freeing ourselves from dependence on fossil fuels: a project that we at QS have a plan to complete by 2030.
There are many people who would tell you that this is impossible, and that such a program would be a disaster for Quebec's economy: nothing could be further from the truth. Our plan will help Quebec become a world leader in green technology, while transforming our cities and neighbourhoods by making them more walkable, more accessible to cyclists, and better served by more convenient and affordable public transportation. Imagine having time to read or to engage with the people in your neighbourhood during your commute, instead of being stuck alone in your car crawling through traffic. Imagine cleaner air, greener streets, and more vibrant communities built to a human scale. That's our vision.
Now I know what you're thinking: we're dreaming. Did you know, however, that QS has a concrete plan outlining exactly how we can turn this dream into reality? Did you know that this plan includes recommendations and best practices developed by professionals in urban planning and the environment? If you don't believe me, you should check it out for yourself! It explains how we'll reduce energy waste (and lower heating costs) by renovating buildings. It explains how we'll use those energy savings, along with new sources of renewable energy, to electrify our public transit systems nationwide. It details all of our new investments and the jobs they'll create, as well as all the benefits of investing more money into Hydro-Québec instead of foreign-owned oil companies.
Ambitious? Yes. Transformational? Yes. Realistic? Absolutely. All we need is you.
— Manon Massé Sainte-Marie-Saint-Jacques
Previous governments, PQ and Liberal alike, have been trying to balance the budget by increasing fees for public services like Hydro and daycare, instead of making the biggest companies and the wealthiest individuals pay their fair share. Austerity widens the gap between the haves and the have-nots, and we at Québec Solidaire believe that this is no way to build a fair society. Québec Solidaire is committed to raising taxes on big businesses in the financial and resource sectors as well as raising income tax on the wealthiest Quebecers in order to fund quality and accessible healthcare, schools, and daycares. That means new, well-paid, stable, and secure jobs, many of which will go to women and new Quebecers.
For Québec Solidaire, a fair Quebec also includes equal access to health care. Accessible health services depend on both strong front-line services as well as timely preventative care. Emergency rooms are not meant to provide preventative or non-emergency services. Due to a lack of family doctors taking patients and shortened operating hours for clinics, they are often called on to do so. That's why we want to strengthen our CLSCs for easy, 24/7 access to health care professionals. Of course, if we want to make sure that doctors have time to discuss preventative care with patients, and to be certain that people with chronic illnesses get the regular check-ups they need, then we need to change the way doctors are paid. At Québec Solidaire, we think the total budget allowance for doctors should not be cut, but rather distributed differently. We think doctors should be paid a salary, just like everybody else, rather than on a fee-for-service basis.
Ultimately, fees are a regressive and unfair way to pay for social services: no matter your income, you have the same need as anyone else to heat your apartment, send your child to daycare, and get around. Of course, the smaller your income, the higher these fees are relative to the money you have. Fee increases hurt the most vulnerable people first by taking a larger percentage of their income than those with more money. Instead of increasing fees for public services, Québec Solidaire wants to increase the number of tax brackets from four to ten in order to raise income taxes on the highest income earners. Most people will see no change in the taxes they pay, but the small percentages paid on the capital of financial institutions and the income of the wealthiest Quebecers will ensure the quality and stability of our health, social, and educational systems for generations to come.
— Amir Khadir Mercier
To achieve a fair and green Quebec, I believe that we must give ourselves all the powers of an independent state. As a culturally distinct nation, Quebecers have a right to choose their political and cultural institutions, just like First Nations peoples. Yet a free Quebec should not define itself by exclusion. We are committed to building a free, independent Quebec at the service of everyone, with the deepest respect for the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity which makes it strong—all while ensuring that the French language, gender equality, and fair play continue to thrive in North America.
I want a Quebec free from social inequalities and environmental disasters, and I believe that we can't achieve it without being an independent state. As long as we are part of Canada, we can't keep out of free trade agreements with serious consequences for our farmers, can't ensure that our young offenders are rehabilitated rather than imprisoned indefinitely, or prevent the use of strikebreakers in sectors under federal jurisdiction, like Péladeau's Videotron did during the 2002-2003 lockout.
I also believe we cannot become an independent state without first coming together and agreeing collectively on what kind of country we want. That's why I think the Constituent Assembly is the right way forward. If Québec Solidaire forms the government, it will hold elections for a Constituent Assembly. These elections will be set up so as to ensure not only that women and men are represented equally, but that all the cultural and historic communities which are such an important part of Quebec society have their voices heard. Once elected, this body will consult with the population and draft a constitution which will then be put to ballot.
By getting everyone involved, we can move towards the progressive society we want.

Children and meals
Children have always been picky eaters, and they are no different today. The eating habits of childrenchange constantly and so does the selection of their favorite foods. They will enjoy eating certain foods one day, but then the next refuse it. Parents sometimes have to accept this as a part of growing up, especially among very young children, but mums and dads shouldn't pander to their child's whims. Instead, they should avoid substituting the prepared meal whenever their children refuse it. This way,children realize that they cannot eat whatever they choose. Similarly, parents should avoid giving their children sweets or other high-calories foods like biscuits and sodas in between meals. Not only are they unhealthy, contributing to diabetes, obesity and tooth decay, but they also help to fill a child up, meaning they are less likely to eat their food at meal time. If a child really is hungry between meals, try offering fruit instead. In addition, providing wholemeal bread and brown rice at mealtimes will help children – and indeed adults – feel full for longer, minimizing snacking.
Here are some tips:
- Prepare healthy food for your children and offer them three meals a day. In addition, provide one or two healthy snacks and try to make this a routine.
- Do not force your children to eat their meals. If they skip a meal then wait for the next one and offer them the food at the assigned time.
- Consult your doctor if this keeps repeating.

Brunch is a leisurely, luxurious Sunday happening, especially at the Little Nell hotel in Aspen, Colo., where the kitchen is supervised by executive chef George Mahaffey.
Consider these favorites from the Little Nell menu for your next Sunday brunch. The mixed berry and banana brulee in a macadamia shortbread with vanilla bean yogurt is an opener (or "appetizer") at the Little Nell; at home you might serve it as a sweet conclusion. The warm caramelized sweet bananas on the mix of chilled berries and yogurt offer a delectable contrast in flavors.

The UK is NOT richer than the USA
Well, as Disraeli might have said there are"lies, damn lies and statistics"
In fact the reality of the difference in wealth between the two countries should reflect the relative purchasing power of the Dollar versus the Pound. There are several ways of measuring the difference in purchasing power, and one of the best is the Economist "Big Mac index". The Big Mac is a standard basket of different goods: bread, meat etc. The price of the hamburger is easily measured and can be compared between different currencies. If one normalises the prices, then we can obtain a crude measure of purchasing power parity.
When we do this between the US and the UK, we find that the Big Mac is 18% more expensive in the UK than in the US, in other words, we could say that Sterling is 18% overvalued versus the Dollar. So, far from British lifestyles exceeding those of America, in fact we could say that we are roughly 18% poorer. So the statistic that GDP per capita in the UK is GBP 23.500, while in the US it is "only" GBP 23,250 is meaningless. If you make the statistic at purchasing power parity, in fact the Americans are indeed still richer. So, while George W. Bush continues to blunder around he has yet to reach that particular nadir... at least so far.

For quite a lot of goods its easiest to just do a straight comparison £1 = $1 when it comes to spending power I've found.

How do things compare if one's diet eschews Big (a wheeze of a description that) Macs in favour of fine fresh food and - particularly important this - copious amounts of red wine, dodgy substances and hard spirits? In other words, would P.J. O' R. be better off here or there?

And that analysis has not taken in to account the tax take. Your Big Mac is bought out of net income, whereas the GDP index (although not related at all to earnings) is closest to gross income.
Therefore my £23500 should really be about £11000 and the Yanks keep a more significant £17400. Which, in addition to the PPP correction gives them the fairly obvious (e.g. why we were all flying to New York to buy Christmas presents rather than the other way around - especially as much of our tax is VAT) advantage in living standards.

The Brits pay more tax but worth remembering somes things are free or nearly free in the UK; like healthcare and museums and maybe lots of other things I don't know about ... the more you look into it, the more complicated it gets!

When I worked over in the UK I paid the normal rate of 20% but they have VAT on some goods
