A chicken producer's main goal is to keep his chickens comfortable and healthy. There are also strict guidelines in Canada for the care and handling of poultry. Each broiler producer must follow these guidelines as they relate to On Farm Food Safety and Biosecurity.
Broiler chickens eat corn, barley, wheat and a lot of protein from soy or canola meal as well as vitamin and mineral supplements. While the specific feed formulations vary from one feed mill to another, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency closely regulates the ingredients in the feed. Hormones and steroids are not used in broiler feed. Their use is Canada has been illegal for all animal production since the 1960s. The barns have automatic feeding systems so the birds can eat whenever they want. They grow quite fast and will gain 50 times their body weight in about 40 days. This fast growth is due to years of breeding for faster growing, healthy birds.
Broiler birds also have constant access to fresh, clean water. Chicken producers are required to clean and disinfect their water lines before each new flock and test their water annually for the presence of bacteria. The water is delivered to the birds through a nipple drinking system. These lines can be raised as the birds grow so that they are always at a height that is comfortable for the birds to drink from. When the chicks first come to the barn, they are attracted to the shiny droplet of water on the nipple so they peck at it. This is how they learn where to get their water from.
Climate Control
Most poultry barns have computer systems that are used to control the temperature in the barns, keep the air fresh and control the lighting systems. Alarms are used to alert the chicken producer if the power goes out or if the temperature is not correct. Many of these computers are also programmed to telephone the chicken producer on his home or cell phone if there is a problem in the barn so that he can fix it right away. If the power should go out, there is generator on the farm to keep the systems running and ensure the birds continue to be comfortable.
All poultry barns are equipped with vents and many powerful fans that ensure the air is always fresh. These fans and vents also work with a heat source (brooders or space heaters) to ensure the birds are always at a comfortable temperature, even in the middle of winter. When the chicks are placed in the barn, it is heated to 29° – 32°C and the temperature is slowly reduced to 21° – 23°C by the time the birds are shipped.
Barn Cleaning
After each flock, broiler producers remove all manure and dust from the inside of the barn. They also clean and sanitize the water lines. Once each year, broiler producers will wash their barns from top to bottom with water and then spray a disinfectant on all of the walls and equipment. This ensures that each flock starts its life in a clean environment.
Broiler Producers follow strict biosecurity protocols that are designed to reduce the ability of viruses, bacteria and parasites to enter the barns and affect the broiler flocks they care for. Viruses, bacteria and parasites can be carried into the barns on equipment, clothing, footwear and hands. Diseases can be easily transferred from one poultry farm to the next just by the traffic that is on the farm everyday.
Chicken Farmers of Canada, through the On Farm Food Safety Program has put many protocols in place to reduce the risk of disease transfer. The program requires broiler producers to keep their barn doors locked so unexpected visitors can't let themselves in. They are required to change their boots prior to entering the barn and again upon leaving. All broiler producers have log books on their farms so they can record all traffic that comes on the farm and when they were there.
The BC Poultry Association has developed a Biosecurity Program that builds on the above National requirements. This program requires all poultry producers in BC to have closed, lockable gates at the entrance to their farms to keep unwanted visitors away. The program also requires growers to have wash stations at the gate so vehicles can be cleaned upon entering and exiting the farm. There are also hand-sanitizing stations at the entrance to each barn to stop viruses, bacteria and parasites from entering the barn on people's hands. Most growers also require any visitors to wear disposable coveralls over their clothing.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
Before viz. opened its doors in October, it was faced with the challenge any new company, product or service must deal with – finding the right brand name. Since viz. is itself a brand naming agency, founder Marc Braunstein knew the name had to be exceptional. "Naming consultants choose names which are either very staid or completely off the wall", comments Marc Braunstein, viz.'s founder and Chief Naming Officer. "We knew we had to do better."
While it sounds quite modern, viz. is a actually an adverb first used in the 16th century, placed in mid-sentence to explain or elaborate: namely, that is to say, in other words. For example, the term 'brand' is derived from the medieval practice of making a mark using a hot iron, viz., the means of identifying goods or services, a farmer's livestock, etc.
While Braunstein has already made his mark by naming many familiar brands in the U.S., he says "viz. is positioned to work with startups, not just established marketing organizations. Our goal is to develop names which will help establish a new company's or product's authority right from the start. A great name is an truly valuable long-term strategic asset."
More information about viz.'s naming process, results and unique partnerships with other marketing professionals can be found at http://www.viznames.com. Or by contacting viz. directly at 401-458-0410.

Well that didn't take long. A loyal Sprint customer has already started a petition trying and convince the US carrier to launch the BlackBerry Z10. Not really a surprise seeing how vocal users are being about the lack of Z10 support in CrackBerry's forums.
Earlier this week Sprint announced their plans to carry the full qwerty BlackBerry Q10 Smartphone, but the press release failed to mention the BlackBerry Z10 at all. Not cool. Look, I get that Sprint basically loses money on every non-iPhone full touchscreen device they sell (due to the silly agreement they signed with Apple), but the BlackBerry Z10 is hot and every other major US carrier is picking it up. Not carrying it is just wrong and a disservice to their own loyal customers.
I like Sprint. And Dan Hesse is cool. So hopefully they'll change their minds here and we'll see another press release come through saying the Z10 is coming. In the meantime, you can show your support for bringing the Z10 to Sprint by jumping over to the online peition below and signing.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to resolve the controversy over whether civil rights defendants must pay large awards of attorneys` fees regardless of the amount of damages actually won in a lawsuit.
The City of Riverside, Calif., and several police officers have disputed federal court orders that they must pay $245,456 in legal fees stemming from a civil rights suit. A jury had held them liable for only $33,350 in damages in the case, involving the arrests of guests at a private party in 1975.

Manchester City 1 Sunderland 0
SUNDERLAND'S stint in Hong Kong could feasibly have morphed into the tour from hell.
From a purely footballing aspect, Paolo Di Canio was battling against several factors when he learned that he would be taking his side to the Far East to spread the Premier League gospel:
H The draining effects of a 12,000 mile round trip.
H The Hong Kong rainy season's oxygen-sapping hold of humidity, which barely dropped under 90 per cent.
H And potentially worst of all, a pitch reduced to a Glastonbury-esque mud bath which claimed the scalps of Spurs centre-half Jan Vertonghen and Manchester City's Matija Nastasic.
But when Sunderland landed back on home soil this morning, the club's power-brokers can reflect on a trip which fulfilled its commercial objectives AND produced plenty of positives for Di Canio's charges.
From a marketing stance, Sunderland made their mark with the manner of their performance against Tottenham in last Wednesday's semi-final.
Even though they never really threatened to lift the Barclays Asia Trophy against Manchester City on Saturday after Edin Dzeko's stunning ninth minute winner, Sunderland were undoubtedly the fan favourites in the Hong Kong Stadium.
Among the predominantly Manchester United supporting locals, Sunderland were the gritty underdogs, whose attempts to deny City a killer second goal were cheered vociferously – particularly if it involved humiliating pantomime villain Samir Nasri.
That Sunderland failed to lift the Asia Trophy is an irrelevance, though.
Supporters deprived of silverware took a half tongue-in-cheek eagerness towards the possibility of lifting a cup prior to kick-off.
But with Sunderland only likely to play one more friendly prior to the start of the Premier League – in Denmark next week – this was another precious opportunity to prepare for Fulham on August 17.
Di Canio utilised his substitutes in the second half, but by naming an unchanged starting XI, it was another significant hint that he already knows the bulk of his side to face the Cottagers.
Two specialist full-backs, plus a midfield playmaker, could all be fast-tracked into the line-up if Sunderland can land them over the next 19 days.
But the bulk of Di Canio's jigsaw is in place, and he knows how it will look.
Those who did complete the full 90 minutes – Craig Gardner, Jack Colback, Seb Larsson, John O'Shea and most encouragingly Wes Brown – were panting with hands on knees at the final whistle after the combined effects of the pitch and the humidity.
But it will be yet another boost to their fitness, and that is what Di Canio did so well in the Far East.
There was no attitude of "taking it easy" because of the heat, humidity or rain.
Sunderland were largely on the training field twice every day.
If they can produce that work-rate in Hong Kong, then they can certainly do it at the Stadium of Light.
The drawback of the training regime was that fatigue took it's toll on Sunderland's performance on Saturday and there was never the same zip around their approach play as they showed against Spurs, albeit the pitch grew increasingly farcical.
City's well-drilled defence comfortably coped with Sunderland's attempts to get the ball in behind, while the Black Cats too often wasted promising situations which they had created down the flanks.
Had it not been for a Dzeko penalty fit for the Hong Kong Sevens or a series of last-gasp interventions from Colback, Gardner and Larsson, then City could have coasted to victory by a more handsome margin.
Yet Sunderland actually started the final brightly and looked the sharper and fitter side in the early stages where they pressed City into surrendering possession.
Brown glanced a Larsson free-kick wide of the post, while Stephane Sessegnon should have tried his luck from the edge of the area, rather than feeding Adam Johnson on the right-hand by-line.
But with their first attack of the game, City broke the deadlock and Sunderland never really threatened to get back on level terms.
It was a goal worthy of winning a trophy though, even if new City boss Manuel Pellegrini won't be rushing to put the Asia Trophy on his CV.
Brown's clearing header dropped as far as Dzeko, loitering in the D, and the ball sat up perfectly for the Bosnian, who wrapped his left foot around it and sizzled a half-volley inside the near post.
Summer arrival Alvaro Negredo should have doubled the advantage three minutes later, but skied his left-footed shot over the bar as he bore down on Vito Mannone's goal after beating the Sunderland offside trap.
Emanuele Giaccherini threatened six minutes before the interval when he met Jozy Altidore's pull-back with a right-footed shot from the edge of the area which Costel Pantilimon gathered relatively comfortably.
But Sunderland were fortunate not to trail by two on the stroke of half-time when Gardner inadvertently headed David Silva's free-kick towards his own goal, only for the ball to cannon back off the far post.
Di Canio introduced three substitutes at the interval - Keiren Westwood, Connor Wickham and El-Hadji Ba - and the latter gifted City the chance to double their advantage in the 65th minute when he bustled away Nasri's flick with his arm.
Dzeko's subsequent penalty was a sight though, the striker slicing it high and wide of Westwood's goal.
Westwood had to be alert to parry away Jesus Navas' deflected skidding shot in the 72nd minute before the Spaniard was denied by Gardner moments later.
City caught the Black Cats two-on-one on the counter-attack, with Nasri squaring the ball to Navas down the right-hand side of the area.
The £15million arrival hit a right-foot shot which beat Westwood, but not Gardner who had charged back to clear off the line.
The closest Sunderland came to an equaliser was in the 84th minute when Larsson curled a low free-kick from the edge of the area which was pushed away smartly by Pantilimon, down to his right.
A barrage of fireworks greeted the final whistle before Vincent Kompany attempted to look delighted at lifting the Asia Trophy.
But finishing as losers matters not to Sunderland.
Di Canio has ensured what could have been a hazardous trip, ultimately became something of a winner.
MANCHESTER CITY: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic (Lescott 75), Clichy (Kolarov 62), Milner (Navas 46), Garcia, Toure (Fernandinho 62), Silva (Nasri 46), Dzeko, Negredo (Barry 79). Subs not used: Wright, Rodwell, Boyata.
SUNDERLAND: Mannone (Westwood 46), Gardner, Brown, O'Shea, Colback, Johnson (Moberg Karlsson 61), Larsson, Cabral (Ba 46), Giaccherini (McClean 76), Sessegnon (Mandron 88), Altidore (Wickham 46). Subs not used: Pickford, Vaughan, Cuellar, Roberge.

"The Flipper!" is an episode of The Backyardigans from the fourth season.
"Pablo is on the Meteor Watch Squad, but a toxic space spill turns him into the uncontrollable Flipper! Can Pablo contain the Flipper and stop an Earth-bound meteor?"
Uniqua, Pablo, and Tasha are in the backyard looking in a telescope. Pablo looks at the viewer and thinks that it is a meteor, but realizes that it is a person. Uniqua checks off it on her notepad. Pablo sadly tells the viewer that he has been waiting for a meteor to land so he can test out his new invention: the Rocket Racket. Uniqua encourages him by singing "Today Could Be the Day". The backyard transforms into an observatory.
The trio put their belongings in lockers and Pablo hugs his teddy bear, Teddy, and puts the toy in his locker. Pablo is ordered to check on the Rocket Racket to see if it is okay. Pablo runs out of the door after seeing that it is okay. Uniqua tells him that a meteor is coming to Earth today. Pablo bumps into a cart displaying beakers and toxic space goo. Tasha stops it and makes sure nothing fell.
They do not know what could of happened if it spilled. Pablo agrees and bumps into it again. Green goo spills on Pablo. Tasha speaks of the meteor as Pablo sits down and turns large and green. He speaks in broken English and is angry. Tasha says he is "the Flipper" because he is flipping out. He wants to find the meteor and sings "Where Is Meteor?" The girls run away from him until he finds Teddy and turns normal-sized and blue again.
They take Teddy away and talk about the meteor. Pablo turns into the green monster, The Flipper. They give him Teddy again and he turns back into Pablo. They think Teddy makes him normal. Pablo disagrees. They take away Teddy and discuss the meteor situation. He turns into the Flipper and the girls give him Teddy. He turns back. He agrees.
The trio walk outside and enter their truck. They secure the Rocket Racket. Uniqua tells Pablo to never let Teddy leave his sight. Pablo agrees. They begin to drive, but Pablo loses Teddy. They reinforce him to not flip out by singing "Don't Flip Out". They see the meteor, but Tasha accidentally screams. Pablo asks why she did so, and Uniqua covers the meteor with her hand. She says it was nothing, but Pablo looks up and sees it. He turns into the Flipper and runs out of the car.
The car bumps into rocks and Tasha is relieved that the rocks did not fall on the car. The rocks fall on the car and destroy it. Tasha says she spoke too soon. Teddy falls into Uniqua's hands and tries to get the Flipper's attention. Uniqua throws Teddy to him and Pablo comes back. They explain how the car is destroyed and they can't save the Earth now. Pablo says he can. The others argue. Then Pablo corrects himself and says the Flipper can. They agree. They show Pablo the meteor and Pablo turns into the Flipper, jumps on the rocket, and grabs a tennis racket. He flies into outer space and hits the meteor back into the galaxy.
He returns to Earth and celebrates. They sing "The Meteor Watchers' Celebration" and cheer. Tasha heard a noise and ask Pablo if he's turning into the Flipper but it was actually his stomach. So he invites them all over for oatmeal raisin cookies at his house. They accept as the rocky land transforms back into the backyard. They sing the end song and enter Pablo's house. Pablo opens the previously closed door and shouts, "Meteor!"

Black Friday came earlier than ever this year, with big box stores opting to open the floodgates to shoppers while the gravy was still warm on Thanksgiving Day. That led one analyst to complain that retailers "have basically ruined every holiday." After all, you can't have your turkey and eat it too if you need to jockey for position in line at Target.
And yet, while Black Friday may still be the Super Bowl of retail, the shopping stampedes we have come to associate it with are becoming more of a sideshow as an increasing number of consumers are buying what they want, wherever they may be, whenever they want it. For this reason and others, Black Friday sales figures -- and the headlines they generate -- are a less important (or at least less clear) economic indicator than ever before. (For what it's worth, according to some "occasional vignettes" posted on The New York Times blog The Lede throughout Thursday evening, the demand for early shopping on Thanksgiving Day at a number of Manhattan retailers was underwhelming.)
So what are the changes happening in retail that are truly significant and what should we look for -- whether we're thinking as consumers or business owners -- in order to read the economy and where it is heading this holiday season? We turned to Big Think's chief economist Daniel Altman.
Here's what he told us at a recent taping at Big Think's office:
What's the Big Idea?
Black Friday isn't what it used to be. It used to be the time when everybody went out after Thanksgiving and began their holiday shopping.
The reason it started to get longer and longer -- starting earlier in the morning and later at night -- is that bricks and mortar stores were the only place where people could go to shop. Retailers can reach consumers at any time of the day -- whatever time is most convenient for the consumers -- through the Internet. And it's not just the same old big retailers like a Walmart or a Best Buy. You have a lot of other smaller retailers that also offer their products over the Internet, and they reach consumers with different types of deals every day. In fact, you can probably expect that the Black Friday shopping really started back on the previous Cyber Monday, and might extend all the way until the following Cyber Monday, with consumers shopping at many different hours of the day, and with many different retailers.
So if you want to get an idea of how big the boost is to the economy that may come from the shopping this week, you have to look at a much broader set of opportunities to shop, and a much longer time period.
As a result, those statistics that you're going to read about the next day are not as useful as they used to be. You should look to statistics covering the whole week, and that might give you an idea of how strong the shopping really is.
What's the Significance?
One of the things that we often look for in an economic recovery is consumers buying durable goods -- things that last a long time -- because most consumers tend to put off those types of purchases during a downturn. Those purchases tend to be higher ticket items, so that's a logical thing to do. You want to wait until you are on firm economic footing before you make an investment like that.
So looking at durables, and also housing -- which is the ultimate durable -- is a good way to see how confident people are that the economy is going to stay on an even keel. But spending is not the only thing that matters to our economy. We need saving as well to create growth for the future. What we want to look for in the long term is a nice balance between saving and spending that's steady over time that suggests we'll be in a nice long boom for several years.

Taking advantage of mum?
Rebecca is a student who has moved back with her mum - just what David Cameron has urged young people to do, rather than relying on housing benefit. But, she asks, is this the best plan for either of them?
I am worried about taking advantage of my mother's good nature. I'm a student and I recently moved back home to save a bit of money (yes, I'll be paying rent to her once term starts again at uni).
I find myself falling back into old bad habits. I'll make myself a sandwich and leave the plate by the sink, the day will go by and I'll think to myself, "I really should wash that plate before mum comes home" but then I'll go to the library or to see a friend and when I get back the dirty plate will be sitting in the drying rack sparkling clean.
How can you avoid taking advantage of your parents (particularly your mum or the parent who took the more active role in raising you)? I've been away from home for four years and have become used to leaving dirty dishes by the sink for days. Now the standards of decency and civilisation have returned to my life – there's always food in the fridge and money on the electricity meter. I'm grateful, but I'm finding it difficult to adjust.
Having to work over the summer puts you at a distinct disadvantage from your wealthier peers
I'm a student. However, it's the summer break and I've been unable to find a job. I can't claim the dole while in full-time education, which means I feel guilty about not contributing to household bills.
We live in temporary accommodation after my dad's debts made us homeless and, since houses are allocated on the basis of need, as a registered 'dependent' I can't move out now even if I wanted. If I did, the house would be given to someone else and my mum would be rehoused. That's a horrible amount of pressure.
There's an assumption that students will have a home to go back to over the summer. I wonder what happens to those that don't.
I get the maximum amount of funding for my studies every year, which is just about enough to live on in term time, but doesn't cover the summer months. The expectation is that you move back home and find a job, but you may struggle to find temporary full-time work or wish to focus your time on an internship or summer studying.
In the later years of your degree, having to work over the summer puts you at a distinct disadvantage from your wealthier peers, especially if you need to earn enough money to keep a roof over your head.
Building the system so that your parents are forced to support you just doesn't seem healthy
This is what's so insulting about David Cameron's proposal to scrap housing benefit for under 25s. By your mid-20s, people are getting married, starting and building families. Are you going to move into your childhood bedroom with your partner and your kids? Will you run your business out of the garage where you used to have band rehearsals in secondary school? What about the people whose parents downsized when they moved out? Or left the country? Who are these lucky people whose parents can take care of them forever?
When I turned 18, my dad refused to financially support me any longer. He told me that at 18 I was legally an adult and it was my responsibility from then on to look after myself. That was before the global recession and the rise in tuition fees and the dearth of graduate level jobs – and the rise of unpaid internships, but his position still stands.
And it's true: we're adults now and we should really be taking care of ourselves. The government needs to let us do that and stop punishing us for not being born into wealthy families.
At 18, things should really stop being about our families and start being about us and the choices we make. Shall I take out a massive overdraft and spend it on a gap year? Shall I drop out of one course and take up another, using a credit card and dodgy loans to pay for the tuition fees for the 'repeated' year? Shall I work three jobs and save up a deposit on a house? These are the choices of adults. Building the system so that your parents are forced to support you just doesn't seem healthy.
It's difficult to discover radium if you've got to hoover the whole house and cook a three course dinner before your partner and kids get home
When you're a child, you don't realise how much your parents do for you. Even as a teenager it's hard to tell whether your parent or parents are cleaning the windows because they like them that way or because that's the level of window cleanliness that is socially expected. Should I offer to clean the windows in our new home? Is that my job, my mum's job, the council's job? Honestly, they look fine to me. It's stupid to worry about it but I find myself stressing. Am I doing something unethical by not offering to clean them? I would if she asked me to… but isn't the point to preempt what needs done around the house?
As feminists, we are all about freeing women from the monotony of housework and letting women blossom into their full potential. My mum is a bad cook and hates doing it, but we have to eat every night. Does that mean I should cook? I do, but very rarely. By the time I get home she's often thrown something together. The feminist thing to do would be to cook as much as possible and relieve my mum of the burden, right? Except I'm happy with a jar of pickles and a beer, which is not really adult food. I can't give my mum that on a plate.
The whole thing leaves me feeling tired and confused. I don't want to give her more work than is necessary and I don't want to benefit unfairly from her labour. I just want to live on my own, but I can't. I should have filed my own homelessness application. Done the adult thing.
There's a theory that men were able to achieve so much throughout human history because the basic needs and general maintenance were taken care of by women. It's difficult to discover radium if you've got to hoover the whole house and cook a three course dinner before your partner and kids get home. This is exactly why Marie Curie is such a hero.

I moved home the winter after I graduated, because I couldn't find full-time work. I worked part time throughout my degree (and yes, the payoff by third year is either grades or sanity).
Even now I'm only working 30 hours a week, but the work is in an industry of interest to me. When I get home I take part in the second shift of housework for a family of six, which is more tiring than my paid employment. I pay housekeeping to my parents, but because I am an adult in the household I also contribute an adult's amount towards the housework and cooking. In some ways, this is one of the few ways I can cling on to my sense of myself as an adult when I still live under my parents' roof and don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
I wouldn't expect to live any differently, but it's not easy. As a young queer person I have compromised my social life and romantic life, for the stability of a secure place to live and the ability to chose my employment. I've split myself down the middle and suffer for it.
But I am lucky. I am from a middle class background, with parents who can afford to have me back home and have a good relationship with my family. They live near enough to London that when my current contract ends if I need to I can take on low or unpaid employment. I am glad that I can be so close to my siblings, but I miss having friends. Even when I manage to see them my life no longer really resembles theirs.
I've been ill recently and as I'm on a temp contract I don't receive contractual sick pay. If I had to pay rent to a landlord I'd have been in serious trouble.
I don't want to undermine the political point of the author. I know what I am about to say plays into conservative values and social policy, but in this situation take what comfort you can from your family relationships. Yes, preempt what needs to be done around the house. It's not like living independently where rooms remain blissfully unchanged in your absence. (Also, I will never understand the teenage habit of carrying plates to the threshold of the sink and then abandoning them there.) But if you have to live at home then cherish your family.
Kirst // Posted 5 September 2012 at 11:51 am
Whereas I would never understand why someone would wash just one plate. It's a waste of hot water and washing up liquid. Doing the whole day's dishes at the end of the day makes more sense and is more economical.

My mum has this problem with my brother. He still lives at home and he's nearly 22. She's forever moaning that he doesn't do enough around the house but I don't think she's ever sat down with him and told him what she expects from him. He can cope with lower standards of cleanliness than she can, but if you're living under someone else's roof you kind of have to keep things how they want to keep them. It's just she hasn't actually laid down the law about it – she asks him to do things as and when, but because she's said several times that there's no way she'd ask him to leave, he doesn't take it seriously. It's not about extortion, it's just about treating someone as an adult. I know if I don't pay my rent, my landlord will ask me to leave. In the same way, I think if my brother doesn't co-operate with what my mum wants, she should tell him that he won't be able to live there anymore, rather than behaving in a passive aggressive way and nagging all the time.

I will be one of those people who has no home to go to in october when I return for my final year of university and it is terrifying, if something goes wrong I have no safety net and I will be staying in an empty university town while all my friends go home and if I don't get a job, which is quite possible as I am chronicly ill and disabled what happens then? it is a very scary place to be in. while I appreciate the point that I am an adult and should be living my own life and making my own choices how can I do that if I'm ill and unable to work, restricting housing benefit affects more than just the restriction is intended to target. hope that makes sense, meds make me loopy!
Michelle Ashton // Posted 22 September 2012 at 8:54 pm
Completely agree with this post. I have spent a lot of this year receiving housing benefit and job seekers allowance and I don't know what I would have done without it. As a 24 year old I wouldn't have received it under the planned rule change. I can't move in with my mum and step-dad as my two 21 year old brothers are currently living there (one of whom is sleeping on the couch due to lack of furniture). I have to rent. This government has just assumed that everyone had the same sort of upbringing as they had so they are trying to force what they would have done onto the rest of us – it's quite hard to tell who's who in the current cabinet. They all sound the same to me.
rethink // Posted 25 September 2012 at 4:27 pm
I have mixed feelings about this. As a very independent person who had to move back with my family at the end of a postgraduate degree (that was paid for by my blood, sweat, tears and a hefty loan) I can completely relate to how difficult it is trying to mesh how you 'choose' to live with being forced to live by someone else's rules.
As an entirely different topic, those of us who worked throughout our degree(s), term-time and summertime, invested so much time and money into 'improving our job prospects', only to be met with no jobs except the minimum wage ones you've been doing since you were 13… THAT is what is so awful about moving back home. You were working so hard so that you wouldn't need to take that step backwards. That is the con of our generation. I'm not talking about being entitled, I'm talking about being working class and doing everything you can, only for that not to be enough.
My point is that the cost of housing, food, fuel etc needs addressing in Britain, NOT how much money the government is going to give you in benefits. I now live in a different country, where there is no such thing as housing benefit. When you think about it, why should the government support you in that way? Yes, things need to be overhauled, but increasing benefits paid out is not the way. I feel that the focus on entitlement to benefits completely shrouds the fundamental issue here.
Clodia // Posted 28 September 2012 at 4:18 pm
I agree with lots of this post. My daughter would be able to move back in after university as we have plenty of room, but not everyone is IN that situation, especially in families where there have been remarriages/stepchildren etc. I know she wouldn't want to move back in as an adult, though at least the safety net is there, because you go away to uni to learn to live independently, and forcing an independent adult back into the parental home IF there's room is no way to go about things as a country. We shouldn't be forcing people to work for longer and longer; we should be encouraging people to retire as early as they can to make way for the employment of young people.

"Procter has had some problems in the shampoo industry," said William Steele, analyst with consultancy Buckingham Research, San Francisco. "There's a tremendous amount of competition in that category, with companies adding new product."
But while Pantene has lost ground, P&G refuses to let it wash out. This month, the marketer launched a restyled Pantene Pro-V, its first overhaul for the brand since 1992 (AA, Feb. 1). A campaign from Grey Advertising, New York, promotes its reinvention as Pantene Ultra-V, with a new formula, scent and packaging.
P&G still holds nearly one-third of the mass-market shampoo category, largely thanks to Pantene's 14.2% share.
According to figures from Information Resources Inc., P&G had 30.6% of the market during the third quarter of 1998, compared with 18.5% for Unilever -- marketer of the Suave and Finesse brands -- and 14.4% for Bristol Myers-Squibb Co., whose Clairol unit markets the Herbal Essences brand (see story at right).
But while Unilever and Bristol-Myers increased their shares during that period, P&G's share dropped by 4% from the same quarter in 1997.
Unilever's launch of Helene Curtis' Thermasilk brand helped it jump by 3.2% last year, and the launch of its Daily Defense brand, combined with the continued success of Herbal Essences, helped Clairol's share rise by 3.4%.
Pantene's slide is a factor of "designer-brand haircare," said Wendy Liebmann, president of consultancy WSL Strategic Retail, New York. The arrival of more premium, salon-quality brands into the mass channels are a challenge to its niche as a premium-quality product for the mass market, she noted.
The new Ultra-V line includes shampoo-only and shampoo-plus-conditioner products, two conditioners and a spray-on strengthening conditioner, which is a new product-type for Pantene.
The ad campaign includes seven TV spots that began airing Feb. 1, plus print ads in March magazines and outdoor boards.
The print executions include scent strips touting the new fragrance, believed to be the first time a shampoo has used that promotional vehicle.
P&G wouldn't disclose spending, but the company put $134 million in measured media for Pantene in the first 11 months of 1998.
The Ultra-V launch "speaks to the need in the market to stay new," said Ms. Liebmann.
She noted that product news -- such as Thermasilk and L'Oreal's continuing introductions of Vive shampoo lines -- can steal the thunder from established lines like Pantene, although she said the P&G brand is still strong.
"It's a short-term hit, but Procter has long-term momentum," said Burt Flickinger, a consultant with Reach Marketing, Westport, Conn. The relaunch

NYCC: Cup O' Joe Announces Miracleman's Return
Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada's convention staple "Cup O' Joe" panel came to New York Comic Con Saturday afternoon, to plug the latest books in the Marvel Universe and to announce the return of "Miracleman" to print beginning in 2014.
On the panel along with Quesada: Marvel editor-in-chief was Axel Alonso, senior vice president of publishing Tom Brevoort, talent liaison C.B. Cebulski, "Empire of the Dead" artist Alex Maleev, "Superior Spider-Man" and "Silver Surfer" writer Dan Slott, "Deadpool" co-writer Gerry Duggan and artist Reilly Brown.
Quesada started the panel with talk of Marvel's Infinite Comics program, and the announcement of the publisher's latest weekly series in the format: "Deadpool: The Gauntlet," by Duggan and Brown. CBR has the exclusive first interview with Duggan on the series.
Next the panel discussed the recently announced comic book series "Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird," first teased at this year's D23 Expo. Quesada described the project as one of the most fully realized extensions yet of interaction between Disney and Marvel publishing.
A representative from Feld Entertainment, Juliet Feld, producing touring live show "Marvel Universe Live," then joined the panel to tell the crowd more about the project and share some videos. She explained it was set to "bring to life everything you love about these characters. You are going to be up close to the action, to stunt sequences, like you've never been before."
"We're going to have 25 Marvel heroes coming together…it's an original storyline," Feld elaborated after the video, throwing it to a trailer for Marvel Universe Live. The trailer then showed a teaser with the Cosmic Cube, plugging the website.
"The technologies they're going to be applying to this show…I thought it'd be impossible to do live," Quesada added, promising it would be "mind blowing."
Brevoort then spoke about the end of "Fantastic Four" with Matt Fraction and Mike Allred, Quesada telling the cheering crowd Brevoort had broken the record of the longest editor on a single Marvel book with "Fantastic Four."
Bringing an image of a bloody, bitten into apple up onto the rooms main stage, Alonso told the crowd that he had been wanting to do a zombie comic since he came to Marvel. The E-I-C then brought up an image for "Empire Of The Dead," illustrated by Alex Maleev and written by George A. Romero.
"George only was interested because he felt he had something new to say," Alonso said, surprising the audience by bringing Romero to the stage.
Laughing as the room cheered, Romero explained, "It's a zombie story, of course, but there are other characters in it that are living dead but they are not zombies…[there are] two kinds of living dead, zombies and vampires, trying to survive."
Setting the story in New York City, Romero continued, "It made sense when I thought about the initial story, it needed to be in a real metropolis that could survive by itself with its own government."
"There are the haves and the have notes and the zombies have nothing," Romero added, saying that there is a "big human component" in the zombie/vampire story. The project will be out in January 2014.
The room broke out into cheers again as the panel brought up an image of the name Miracleman, playing a video of writer Neil Gaiman speaking about the character.
"'Miracleman' #25 has been sitting in the darkness, nobody's seen it…I love the idea that it's finally going to be seen," Gaiman said, calling it the "big incomplete book of my life," and announcing Marvel's intention to bring the material back into print.
Quesada told the cheering audience that starting in January 2014 they will be printing the "Miracleman" material and Gaiman's end to the story.
Throwing the panel open to the floor, a fan to the microphone asked about the potential of seeing more of Peter Parker's sister and if Parker would be the one in the focus of that story.
"Peter's dead!" writer Dan Slott, who joined the panel, told the fan as the room cracked up.
"Zombies can't run," Romero told a fan who asked about his feelings on super-fast zombies, to wild audience applause. The legendary horror creator also told the room that the biggest challenge to him writing this story was wrangling his ideas, laughing that he would never be able to get the budget to film the movie version of his story.
The next fan wanted to know if Daredevil might be a part of the non-Avengers Phase Three of the Marvel Studios films.
"I can't tell you!" Quesada said as the audience laughed. "We have a great plan for things and I think Marvel fans will be happy." Quesada also plugged the upcoming "Guardians Of The Galaxy" film.
An Inhumans fan asked how Marvel planned to integrate the characters into the Marvel Universe as they traditionally were very isolated.
"No longer at they going to be in one place," Alonso said, explaining the Terrigen mists have leaked out and that now Inhumans could pop up anywhere in the world.
Quesada told another fan at the microphone that all the panelists had pet projects they wanted to push that they felt were more artistically creative than commercially viable, and with the right creative teams Marvel was committed to bringing them forward.
"A perfect example of that is, how many people are reading 'Hawkeye?'" Alonso said, Quesada adding the "Runaways" was another example.
The female fans in the audience broke into applause as a woman at the microphone demanded to know where her "Black Widow" movie was, and if Marvel was dedicated to bringing out a solo female superhero movie.
"You know about the next 'Captain America' movie? Watch that movie," Quesada told her as the audience gasped and applauded. HE also pinted to Marvel's "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D." as a female protagonist heavy show.
"You guys say you want female-led comics, buy the books!" Brevoort added as he plugged the upcoming Charles Soule written "She-Hulk" and Nathan Edmondson's announced "Black Widow" comic.
Another Romero fan asked about his thoughts on why zombies are so popular now, and what that says about society's deep seated fears.
"I think the popularity of zombies has more to do with video games than anything else," Romero said, adding, "It's always been underground until now, and I don't think that has anything to do with the fears…it's just that its available."
To a fan who began to ask about "Superior Spider-Man," Slott interrupted again, "He's dead!" After the audience laughter died down, the fan asked Romero about the experience filming his first movie.
"We just had the drive to do it, and somehow we finished — there were so many times during the making of that film that we said, maybe we should give it up," Romero said of his original independent film.
A "Fantastic Four" fan asked why Franklin was not attached to the Jean Gray School and the mutants.
"If Wolverine was running your local school, wouldn't you consider homeschooling?" Brevoort joked as the room cracked up.
Brevoort also told the fan that "Fantastic Four" was "Done done," with no plans for relaunching. "Though I could be lying," he added as the room cracked up again.
Slott also excitedly reiterated that he and Mike Allred were working on a new Silver Surfer series.
"But Doc Ock is the Silver Surfer," Alonso joked as Slott laughed.
A movie fan wanted to know if Iron Man will show up in any movies after "Avengers 2" and if there were any new Avengers in the film.
"I can't tell you!" Quesada laughed again.
Speaking more about "Empire Of The Dead," Romero explained that the project was not inspired by a specific societal theme but a melding of many ideas. "There's a lot of room to swim in and out of themes and the characters concern rather than a screenplay that has to be targeted at one crisis or another. It'll be loaded with social criticism."
The last question went to an "Infinity" fan who wanted to know if readers will see the return of Richard Rider as Starlord and Thanos were both back.
"You'll have to keep reading," Breevort said, adding that it will be a running plot line in "Guardians Of The Galaxy" comic book, bringing the panel to a close among cheers and applause.

I am so in love with this little trio of products from Rimmel. I have been getting compliments left, right and centre about how flawless my make up has been looking and its all thanks to these.
I can't even decide what one I love the most as they all do a pretty darn good job of doing what they need to do. I do have one small niggle with one of them but it seems so small in comparison to how great the product is as a whole.
First up we have the #Insta Flawless; a perfecting, radiant skin tint which can be worn alone or under make up. This little product is an absolute godsend for me as I have such a bad uneven skintone. Once applied my skin has an overall even tone and it is the perfect base to put my foundation over. I have also noticed I don't need as much foundation when wearing this as it has already got rid of a lot of my problem areas. Although it says it can be worn alone, I personally wouldn't as it does run a bit orange.
Next up is the #Insta Fix & Matte; a translucent powder to set your make up, give you a matte finish and a more airbrushed look. This gem of a product is fantastic for setting my make up and I adore the finish it gives. Some white powders can give that grey cast to the skin but I have found with this one it just lets whats underneath shine through. It gives good staying power to my make up too without the need for touch ups until at least the 8 hour mark.
Lastly we have the #Insta Fix & Go; a 2 in 1 primer and setting spray that helps keep your make up looking fresh all day. Now I am an Urban Decay All Nighter girl so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this and to be honest I only picked it up in the 3 for 2 offer at Superdrug as I didn't know what else to choose. I am so glad I did as this has fast become my favourite product of now. It has a pleasant smell but one that could be offensive to some as it's quite strong, however after the initial spraying it does wear off quickly. The spray can be used before and after make up, which is how I use it and I feel like it prolongs my make up in a great way. It has also been a godsend in this heat we've been having for freshening up my make up throughout the day and helping to cool me down.
All three products when used together really do give some amazing results and I am so glad I found them Best of all where they are budget friendly anyone can get that perfect flawless skin at any time.
You can purchase them from £4.99 – £6.99 on any Rimmel stand at the likes of Superdrug, Boots or any highstreet store that stocks them.

Urban Enlightenment and the Eighteenth-Century Periodical Essay is the first extensive literary history of the eighteenth-century British periodical essay, and the first to examine the critical reception and canonizing of the genre in a transatlantic context. Drawing on a wide range of early Modern and Enlightenment essays, character writings and critical reviews, it argues that authors on both sides of the Atlantic came to regard the periodical essay as a literary means of transmitting moral-civic wisdom to posterity. As it traces the developments and changes in the genre across the century, this study devotes special attention to important but lesser-read mid-century London serials like the World and Connoisseur, the Edinburgh Mirror and Lounger, and Washington Irving's Salmagundi. By recovering the conception of literary citizenship that grounds these serials' claims to the notice of posterity, Urban Enlightenment gives new insights into the historical character of the Enlightenment literary public sphere.The idea to study the eighteenth-century periodical essay in a transatlantic context was first suggested to me by William C. ... Since that time, the example of Dowlinga#39;s unremitting integrity and commitment as a thinker, scholar and writer has ... As a graduate student I received valuable support at Rutgers from Mellon Dissertation and Lane Cooper Fellowships. ... At DePaul, a University Research Council faculty leave in spring 2012 afforded me the time to finish writing the book.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – The Pakistani Taliban is in peace talks with the Pakistani government, a senior commander in the militant group said Saturday, adding the negotiations were "progressing well."
The statement by Maulvi Faqir Mohammad is the first time a named Taliban commander has confirmed that the group is negotiating with the Pakistani government.
Mohammad, said to be the deputy chief of the group, said his men had held "peace talks with relevant government officials."
"They are progressing well, and we may soon sign a formal peace agreement with the government," he said in a telephone conversation.
Last month, anonymous militants and intelligence officials said exploratory peace talks were under way.
The government and the army denied any such talks after those reports were published, as did a spokesman for the Taliban.
It is unclear whether Mohammad speaks for the group's entirety. The network, which has declared war on the Pakistani state and carried out hundreds of bloody suicide attacks around the country, is believed to have splintered into different factions over the last year.
Government officials were not available for fresh reaction.
Mohammad's main area of strength is the Bajur tribal region, which has seen military operations over the past three years that army commanders have claimed wiped out militancy there.
Mohammad said any deal in Bajur could be "role model" for the rest of the border region.
The United States is unlikely to support peace moves with militants from the Pakistani Taliban.
Previous deals in the northwest close to the Afghan border have been used by the insurgents to rest and regroup.
The Pakistan Taliban are allied with, and give safe haven to, militants fighting Western troops across the frontier in Afghanistan.

Our mission is to serve the Juvenile Court, children and their families, victims of juvenile crime, and the community by:
We do this in a culture that honors diversity and individuality within our organization and within the community.Qualifications:
Juvenile Probation Officers assist juveniles on their caseload to comply with the terms of their probation. They monitor their school progress and work closely with school personnel to insure their compliance with their educational program. Officers maintain regular personal contact with probationers and their parents/guardian. Quality probation officers work closely with the community and help their probationers find opportunities that will help them learn to respect the law and their community.
A Juvenile Probation Officer generally has a caseload of 30 to 40 juveniles. Being a probation officer can be an extremely rewarding and interesting job because you are in a position to have a positive influence on young people. It can also be very frustrating because not every juvenile is ready or willing to make the necessary changes to be successful. Some juveniles feel overwhelmed and powerless in the environments they confront daily. This can be very stressful and frustrating for the probation officer as well as the juvenile. Learning how to handle this is an important part of the job.
Probation officers perform a variety of jobs. Some are specialists and work exclusively with children who have mental health issues, or are in residential treatment, or are sex offenders. Other probation officers work in public schools, as detention mentors, or in specialized programs such as Teen Court and Drug Diversion.
Arizona State law requires a probation officer to possess a Bachelor's Degree from an accredited college or university. It is most helpful for you to have a degree in the behavioral sciences. A Master's Degree is helpful and encouraged. The Department offers a college reimbursement plan for staff but the courses you take must be career related.
Probation officers make from $35,700 to over $60,000 annually. You can promote from a Juvenile Probation Officer I up to a Juvenile Probation Officer V. Probation officers must attend and pass a certification academy. This two-week academy is offered by the Arizona Supreme Court and certifies you a probation officer in the State of Arizona.As with any position where you are working in a court system or with youth, it is important that you have no criminal record. Probation officers are public servants and role models for the youth they supervise. Everyone who applies for one of these positions goes through an interview, extensive background check and must submit to a polygraph exam.

Since winning her Best Actress Oscar in 2002, Halle Berry has played a Bond girl, a weather-controlling superhero, and a haunted psychiatrist. With "Catwoman," she's back in superhero land — a place she never thought she'd find herself again. "I wasn't so much a fan of comic books growing up," Berry admits. "But it's been a wonderful addition to my career, and as I've become a part of this world, I've certainly gotten more familiar [with it]."
Aside from a few peeks at Berry's belly-baring shredded-leather suit (a topic of much controversy on fansites), details on the reported $100 million production have been doled out like imported catnip. But here's what we do know: Berry plays Patience Philips, a graphic designer who tussles with her wickedly corrupt boss (Lambert Wilson) and his wife (Sharon Stone), brushes with death, and is then transformed into a superfeline femme. It all takes place sans Batman, in an unnamed 21st-century metropolis that is not Gotham City. Oh, yeah, and Benjamin Bratt plays her boyfriend.
For Berry, breaking from the DC Comics mythology (not to mention the 1960s "Batman" TV series and Tim Burton's 1992 "Batman Returns") was crucial. "It's more 2004," she promises. "More reflective of the times. And because [one-named director] Pitof comes from the world of visual effects" — his credits include visual-effects master on 1997's "Alien Resurrection" — "he has a stylized, sophisticated vision." Stone seconds the praise for the French newcomer: "He's got a weird, impeccably executed, retro-futuristic, glamorous view," she says. "The movie really looks as though you're looking through the eyes of a cat." In Berry's experience, that's one helluva perspective. "When I put on that catsuit, I'm in touch with my power as a woman — I'm reminded that I should use it more often." Meow!
THE GOOD NEWS A purrfectly kitty-licious flick could launch another franchise for Berry.
THE BAD NEWS Purists have already been slamming the movie's departure from traditional DC Comics story lines. And they are NOT lapping up that catsuit.

the mother of all professions
once again i'm inspired to write. read a colleague's blog, and its explicit yet innocent revelations make me wanna write. i don't know what it is with writing and inspiration. why do i ALWAYS need inspiration to write? why can't i just be 'self-motivated'? if you know me, you must've figured i have no clue what that means. does it mean that some people find inspiration from within? or just are too bored of not doing anything?
i mean where do people find the time and motivation to work (that too in advertising), learn a new language (and in some cases two), be an active part of a club, not to mention MENSA, go abroad to participate in debates, study (law) on the side (i'm not making this up. i know someone who does all these things) and more importantly, sleep? i find it hard to just go to work, work (for some time at least), go home, feed mah baby, rock him to sleep and keep him asleep while managing to grab a few winks myself before i have to go back to work the next day. i mean, HOW do people do all these things? and here, i'm expected to be self-motivated and blog regularly.
and while i'm writing, 'why don't you write a book?' and 'hey, what happened to that book you were commissioned to write?' can't people just forget facts like this the moment after i tell them about it in a weak moment of over-enthusiasm? no. they just come back to push the barb of guilt deeper into your gut every time. sometimes i think i should stop telling people that i'm a writer. maybe i should just answer global questions like 'what do you do?' with 'oh, i'm a practising mother. (who's still practising on her only son) and in my spare time i like to sleep a lot.' then i wouldn't have to field well-intended but soul scarring questions that tell me how i'm wasting my time and talent (much of it assumed).
anyway, now that i'm actually writing, there's no need to wallow in guilt i suppose. it does help to read what other people have written and find some spark to open the damn word document. and not start it with 'script duration: 30 sec. film opens on...' or worse, 'headlines for the day for laptop feature no. X5640.' it feels good to know you don't know what you're gonna write about. (actually that's the case at work as well, but we're not on that now...)
also it's strange how most of my posts seem to touch on writing somehow. like that's the only thing i can ever write about. writing. how boring is that? i mean, today i found out that one of my colleagues is gay, another is separated from her husband, a couple of friends are in town this weekend, it's my niece's birthday, and i all i can write about is writing. i mean, if the act of writing itself is such a big deal, should i even be calling myself a writer? another good reason to stick with the 'i'm a mother' bit. after all, there's no escaping from the duties of motherhood. you get all the inspiration you need. one, tiny whimper from the infant's cradle will rouse me from the most orgasmic encounter in dreamland (not that that is a frequent occurence. one needs to sleep to dream, you know).
so, is being a mother more satisfying than being a writer? most certainly. nobody can see or read what you're doing. it's totally back-end work that never gets published. except maybe when i show him off to friends and complete strangers. but it's satisfying alright. the volume of work accomplished is much more. and it's rewarding in strange new ways everyday. with a 'ma...'' today, a kiss tomorrow, and who knows, maybe even a book on his favourite mommy someday? there i go again... making very unsubconscious plans for my son to be a writer. there's no escaping the written word for me, i guess. that said, i just hope he's 'self-motivated'.

If you wish to order a copy of a will or a grant of probate or letters of administration, the following form is required along with the relevant fee(s).
^ Top
Keep the will pristine in an envelope or plastic sheet protector.
Do not remove staples or binding, etc. from a will in order to photocopy the will.
Do not attach anything to a will by way of a pin, glider clip or staple. Holes caused by removal of staples and indents from glider clips or the like must be explained by affidavit.
Do not laminate a will, death certificate or any other document relating to a probate application.
The Supreme Court of South Australia is the Court that has exclusive jurisdiction in this State to make orders in relation to the validity of a will of a deceased person, the appointment of an executor or an administrator and the administration of a deceased estate.
The Probate Registry deals with applications for grants of probate or administration and other related matters. The Probate Registry keeps a register of probates and administrations granted by the Court. An uncertified search copy of any South Australian will can be obtained from the registry for a fee. For more information on obtaining a copy of a will, use the Contact Us details to the right.
On application for a grant the Court determines what document or documents constitute the last will of the deceased and / or who is entitled to be the personal representative of the deceased (i.e. the executor or administrator). When these determinations have been made a grant is issued in respect of the estate of the deceased person.
There are three types of grants:
When necessary a grant will be limited in duration, in respect of property or to any special purpose. The term "grant" is used to mean whatever type of grant is issued.
A grant is the official recognition by the Court of the right of the personal representative named in the grant to administer the estate of a deceased person and of the vesting in the personal representative of the title to the deceased's estate.
The Court does not decide whether or not a grant is required. That depends on the nature and extent of the assets to be administered and the requirements of the institutions holding the assets. The applicant must address this before seeking a grant from the Court.
Some estates may be administered informally, without a grant. For this reason the person undertaking the administration of the estate should first inquire from each institution holding an asset belonging to the deceased whether the institution is prepared to release the asset without seeing a grant. For example, banks and insurance companies may release money without a grant if the amount is small and there are no complications. However, conditions may be imposed.
A grant will not be required when the only assets are held as joint tenants. For example, real estate in the names of husband and wife as joint tenants becomes the property of the survivor by operation of law and requires only the registration of the death on the title.
On the other hand, a grant will always be required if the deceased owned real estate in his or her own name or held an interest in real estate with another party as tenant in common. The Lands Titles Registration Office will not process a transfer of the deceased's interest to another person without a grant.
If there is a requirement for a personal representative to prove his or her title to an asset in the deceased's name it might be necessary to obtain a grant.
A bank, insurance company, share registry or other institution may require a grant before it will allow a personal representative to deal with a substantial estate asset.
The distribution of the assets in the deceased's estate is the responsibility of the person named in the grant and the grant is proof that the person named in it is entitled to collect and distribute the estate of the deceased.
All applications for grants must be in accordance with the Rules of Court. Those Rules govern who is entitled to claim the grant and the manner in which the application must be made.
Applications for grants can be made by one of the following methods:

More than 11,000 elephants have been killed by ivory poachers in Gabon since 2004 according to new research. The country is home to over half of Africa's forest elephants who are highly valued because of the quality of their tusks. Campaigners say the situation in what was believed to be a safe haven for these elephants is "out of control." They blame the ongoing high demand for jewellery and other ivory products in Asia. Continue reading the main story " Start Quote If we do not turn the situation around quickly, the future of the elephant in Africa is doomed" Prof Lee White ANPN Gabon holds about 13% of the forests of Central Africa but it is home to around 40,000 forest elephants, a smaller species that are attractive to poachers because their ivory is tinged with pink and is very hard. The new research has been carried out by the Gabonese national parks agency (ANPN) alongside WWF and the Wildlife Conservation Society

So much to share!! But I'm still compiling, and recuperating. Shortly, I promise!!
Until then, I'm not sure if your aware of this, but Mr. P and I were originally pen-pals, or as he likes to say "pen-friends". When we first met, face-to-face, was on an EF Tour. So, when I found this video on www.laurenconrad.com, I swooned, slightly screamed, and was overjoyed. I love EF Tours!! Great organization, fantastic spots, and all at a great price. Now only if they provided tours for adults, who still enjoy learning!!
Thanks EF Tours!!
Do you have any tours you'd recommend? What's your most memorable vacation? I'd love to know!
