We study the bifurcation and dynamical behaviour of the system of N globally coupled identical phase oscillators introduced by Hansel, Mato and Meunier, in the cases N=3 and N=4. This model has been found to exhibit robust 'slow switching' oscillations that are caused by the presence of robust heteroclinic attractors. This paper presents a bifurcation analysis of the system in an attempt to better understand the creation of such attractors. We consider bifurcations that occur in a system of identical oscillators on varying the parameters in the coupling function. These bifurcations preserve the permutation symmetry of the system. We then investigate the implications of these bifurcations for the sensitivity to detuning (i.e. the size of the smallest perturbations that give rise to loss of frequency locking). For N=3 we find three types of heteroclinic bifurcation that are codimension-one with symmetry. On varying two parameters in the coupling function we find three curves giving (a) an S3-transcritical homoclinic bifurcation, (b) a saddle–node/heteroclinic bifurcation and (c) a Z3-heteroclinic bifurcation. We also identify several global bifurcations with symmetry that organize the bifurcation diagram; these are codimension-two with symmetry. For N=4 oscillators we determine many (but not all) codimension-one bifurcations with symmetry, including those that lead to a robust heteroclinic cycle. A robust heteroclinic cycle is stable in an open region of parameter space and unstable in another open region. Furthermore, we verify that there is a subregion where the heteroclinic cycle is the only attractor of the system, while for other parts of the phase plane it can coexist with stable limit cycles. We finish with a discussion of bifurcations that appear for this coupling function and general N, as well as for more general coupling functions.

Sole proprietorship is the oldest format for trading, pre-dating legal systems of registering companies by thousands of years.
If there are about 1 million registered businesses in South Africa out of a total of some 4 million businesses, that means that most businesses are sole proprietors and most still need to register.
That is where CORP comes in to assist you. We have been helping people to register their sole proprietorships since 1982 with 1000′s of satisfied customers.
Our Sole Proprietor System involves only 3 easy steps:
1. Complete and submit the following form: Sole Proprietor Registration Application
2. Email us any further information we may request.
3. Sit back and relax while we do the work..

14260956/legend-of-the-seeker/images/legend-of-the-seeker-20091105054019703.html?page=mediaFull" class='autolink'>Legend of the Seeker returns this weekend with season 2 of the epic fantasy series that is based on the Sword of Truth novels from author Terry Goodkind. Legend of the Seeker managed to develop a strong following of viewers in spite of the fact that it runs in syndication.
The series follows the epic journey of a young woodsman named Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), a mysterious woman with magical powers named Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan), and a wizard named Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander (Bruce Spence) as they try to put a stop to whatever evil forces they come across.
Angel and Buffy fans will be interested to learn that Charisma Carpenter will be appearing in the two-hour season premiere, "Marked." Carpenter will be playing Triana, a leather-clad rival warrior of Tabrett Bethell's Cara. The two can be seen locking lips in what Carpenter says is a war tactic. "It's about domination," says Carpenter. "She's putting me in my place." Why can't all wars be fought this way?
In addition to the fascinating rivalry between Cara and Triana, viewers will get to see the Seeker inadvertently open a door to the underworld. Richard and company will have their hands full as they try to deal with the evil that has been unleashed.
Season two will have a lot more of the leather-clad women, fantastic fights, a love triangle, and a few more body-swapping and possession moments like what was shown in "Mirror" and "Revenant" last season.
Legend of the Seeker premieres this weekend in syndication. Check your local listings for the time and channel.

The staff motivate students to excel, which is reflected in the consistently high examination achievements. Examination results for students at the end of Key Stage 4 (Year 11) continue to be impressive, placing Rosedale once again amongst the top flight of London schools. Indeed, according to the Uxbridge Gazette 'The Real Schools Guide', Rosedale College has been rated as the top choice for parents in Hillingdon. This is an accolade which is richly deserved, given that 83% of the students achieved a minimum of 5 A* to C grades, including English and Mathematics at GCSE in Summer 2015.
In 2016, the Progress 8 Score is noted at +0.27 with Attainment 8 at 50.2 points. 62% of Rosedale students achieved at least a Grade C or better at GCSE in the core subjects of English and Mathematics. Student destinations (staying in education or entering employment) is currently at 96%.
This demonstrates that the College continues to deliver for its students, ensuring that every child is able to achieve the best possible academic outcomes.

ICOM NZ News April 2018
ICOM Members are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, which will be a working breakfast on Wednesday 23 May, 7.45-8.45am, at CoCA Toi Moeraki Centre of Contemporary Art, 66 Gloucester St.
The ICOM Aotearoa New Zealand Steering Committee has been working on a draft set of Rules with the goal to register as an Incorporated Society. Information about the Draft Rules has been circulated to members. The next steps are on the agenda for the Annual Meeting.
In addition, we are hosting two roundtable sessions for ICOM ANZ members as part of a series being conducted on behalf of ICOM in a process revisiting the ICOM definition of museums approved in 2007. The sessions are Monday 23 April in Auckland and Sunday 20 May in Christchurch.
This ICOM project is led from ICOM Headquarters in Paris by Dr Jette Sandahl who is familiar with the New Zealand museum scene from her time as Director of Experience at Te Papa. Jette chairs the ICOM Museum Definition, Prospects and Potentials Committee, and is very keen for New Zealanders to contribute their unique perspectives.
ICOM NZ News May 2017
ICOM members met for breakfast in Palmerston North on Tuesday 23 May, during the MA17 conference. The Steering Committee going forward comprises: Jane Legget (Chair), Liz Cotton, Victoria Esson, Alice Tyler, Alba Letts and Phillipa Tocker. The Committee is working on establishing ICOM Aotearoa New Zealand as an Incorporated Society. Museums Aoteaora continues to provide secretariat services.
The next general meeting for ICOM Aotearoa new Zealand members will be in Christchurch in May 2018, to coincide with the MA18 conference.
ICOM NZ News September 2016
Here's where we are at the moment...
Current Developments - ICOM NZ
ICOM NZ is operating through a Steering Committee at present, comprising Jane Legget (Chair), Courtney Johnson (Deputy Chair), Victoria Esson (Treasurer) and Ian Griffin, with Phillipa Tocker, Executive Director of Museums Aotearoa, co-opted to provide advice from Museums Aotearoa's experience. We'll be working out our strategic direction. Our priority is to produce an up-to-date constitution with the aim of bringing it before a meeting of the membership to be held during the Museums Aotearoa's Annual Conference in Palmerston North, 22-24 May 2017.
Museums Aotearoa has generously taken on the task of managing ICOM NZ membership subscriptions, and has offered to serve as interim secretariat. Furthermore, MA has been very helpful in the process of changing our bank arrangements. Thank you, Phillipa and Talei! We also would like to thank Te Papa for managing ICOM NZ's accounts for the past few years.
ICOM Triennial Conference Milano, July 2016
Nearly 3,500 international museum professionals attended the ICOM Triennial Conference in Milan. This is the main gathering of ICOM members and includes the formal meetings where changes to its constitution are discussed, reports on activities from the previous three years are received and future priorities outlined. The overarching theme for 2016 was Museums and Cultural Landscapes. International keynote speakers, including artist Christo and Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk, author of The Museum of Innocence, addressed the whole conference. Then members participated in three days of sessions of the International Committees relating to their specific interests or museum roles, along with many additional parallel events, professional meetings and site visits. In addition to a lively social programme, hosted at some of Milan's marvellous museums, galleries and historic buildings, there were plenty of great opportunities to mix with museum people from all corners of the world - 129 countries this time. The next ICOM Triennial Conference will be hosted by Kyoto in September, 2019. That means members have three years in which to save up! The theme is: Museums as Cultural Hubs: The Future of Tradition.

RS.1 Ski
While we North Americans have been concerned only with ski design that allows us to find and ski more powder, the Euros just can't give up the search for the perfect groomer carve. The RS1 is a prototype ski with a pivot point behind the heel that allows the tail of the ski to swing out like a fish's tail, allowing for easier turn initiation with the inside ski especially, something that is always a struggle for beginners. It remains to be seen whether a second more park-oriented model will be developed so that dads can force their jib-hungry kids to actually learn how to make a proper turn against their will.
September Snows
Peaks across the West have been getting their inaugural 2013 dusting this week, and it appears the Northeast is next with two cold shots coming into the region between now and next Thursday that could bring some precipitation above 3,000 feet. I wonder if we'll see a rush on stores for another oddball ski invention, the Marquette Backcountry Ski, which is a 140 cm plastic ski that as the above video shows, is pretty much designed for skiing on grass.
Chris Davenport joins SCARPA
Just as Dynafit added Eric Hjorleifson to their team/R&D ranks to change their rep from that of a techy backcountry outfit making tiny soft shoes for racing Euros to one producing the ultimate backcountry freeride gear, this month Scarpa brought big mountain and ski mountaineering legend Chris Davenport onto their team. These hires are ostensibly to bring some freeride expertise to companies with excellent hiking and climbing boots, with the hopes of producing the ultimate badass, super-light yet charging touring boot that is the holy grail of most current boot manufacturers. Dynafit's first result of this effort, the Vulcan, has received high marks so far. It remains to be seen whether Davenport and Scarpa's future efforts will top this by yielding a boot with articulating hydraulic legs, giving average consumers the opportunity to feel what it's like to sprint up a Colorado 14er like Dav.
Folsom for the Masses
Colorado custom ski maker Folsom Skis has recently decided to devote half of their annual fleet of 500 skis to stock versions of their custom skis. Models such as the Gambit, Johnny C, Completo, Rapture, and Giver will be available in three lengths exclusively on Backcountry.com. The brand has decided to stay away from brick-and-mortar stores due to the volume incentives larger brands can offer, and has instead inked a three-year contract with the online retailer, giving Backcountry a few seasons to see how the ski sells and Folsom a guaranteed sales venue for three years.
Burnt Mountain Burned
After Aspen/Snowmass received final approval to cut down 800 trees on Snowmass' Burnt Mountain in order to add 230 acres of previously backcountry area to the resort's inbounds terrain, The Ark Initiative, a conservation organization run by environmental consultant Donald "D.J." Duerr of Pinedalye, Wyoming, has sued the Forest Service to get an injunction to permanently block the thinning work. Duerr claims that Burnt Mountain is roadless wilderness area, and thus entitled to protection from development. He's been in a legal battle with Aspen Ski Co. since 2006 over the resort's right to develop the land. He and his Ark Initiative have so far been unsuccessful in rallying other Colorado-based conservation groups to his cause.
Space Shuttle Graces Western Skies
According to America's primary tool for casual amateur journalism Instagram, the Space Shuttle apparently flew over much of California this Friday. As a former space nerd, I feel obligated to include this in the news roundup. All hail, Space Shuttle!

(207) 861-3000 / (800) 491-8600 Community Health Needs Assessment | Financial Assistance
As a rural community, the greater Waterville area does not see many high-risk medical procedures, but first responders, hospital staff, and other medical professionals still need to stay prepared to address them when they do occur. That's why medical simulation training is so valuable!
As a leader in quality and performance transparency, Inland promotes healthcare advancement through education. Creation of The Bickford Medical Simulation Program helps ensure our ability to provide live-saving outcomes, invest in healthcare personnel, and provide a major community benefit to the Central Maine area as the program is available to our many healthcare partners, such as ambulance crews, emergency management services, and nursing students.
Four different computerized patient simulator models are the training tools of The Bickford Medical Simulation Program: Man/Woman; Pregnant Woman; Newborn; and Baby. The simulators are housed in our state-of-the-art training lab in the Medical Arts Building in Waterville, adjacent to Inland Hospital. It includes a mock patient room with cameras, a high-tech communications and control room, and a conference room/classroom for recorded sessions playback and discussion.
Medical simulators are computerized mannequins that can be programmed to mimic a variety of complex medical scenarios, such as trauma, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, airway obstructions, and even complicated obstetrics deliveries. Staff can also practice catheterizations, injections, and complex wound care. The unique equipment tests staff and physicians' clinical and decision-making skills during realistic patient care situations. If the clinician fails to follow the proper protocol, the simulator demonstrates an adverse clinical outcome – providing a highly valuable learning experience.
The simulation program was established thanks to the generosity of Chuck and Joan Bickford of Winslow. Chuck is a long-time Inland Hospital trustee and Waterville banker and Joan was a dedicated volunteer at Inland.
Please contact Chellie Roderick, RN, Simulation Lab Coordinator at 861-7140

Welcome to Weird Science DC Comics, the DC Comics site for the common man and woman. We're not high falutin, just a bunch of dummies who love comics just like you...we just spend an insane amount of time working on this site for no pay. I told you...dummies! So, sit a spell and read our Reviews, News and Articles and if you are really brave, listen to the Weird Science DC Comics Podcast. We triple dog dare you!
So... I loved this. Art was great and I like that the lies is not finished yet. Didn't love how urztaka (?) got killed but oh well. Diana is great Steve is great Cheetah is cool. Gonna pick up that interlude issue but I'm trade waiting on Year One. 9/10.ReplyDelete
This reminded me of BVS. Wonder woman releaves the Villan of his arm, he grows a spike in its place, only he doesn't get the chance to stab her like doomsday did to superman because why?... circling him with the lasso causes him to disintegrate... what kind of shit is that? 6/10ReplyDelete

Election day is today, and if you're like us, you're probably going to want to make a map of the results by election district.
To do this, you'll need the data and a map of election districts in Allegheny County.
You can find a map of election districts as open data on our Website, but the results are not available as open data until they are officially certified by the Allegheny County Board of Elections several weeks after votes are cast.
Unofficial results will be available on Allegheny County's Election Website shortly after the polls close. The data will be in a human-readable text file. Processing is required to make this data machine-readable in a GIS-friendly file format. The file to process is named "Detail Canvass Report."
If you want to compare the 2016 data to 2004, 2008, and 2012, we posted general election results from the last three presidential elections as open data.
Let us know through Twitter if you've made any maps, and we'll be happy to share them with others.
Please be sure to vote!
Post-Election Update: We did make a map of the uncertified 2016 results from the Presidential election, and included it as a dataset on the open data portal.

The combination of high levels of exploitation for the cagebird trade, long-term habitat loss and reduced density estimates indicates that this species is declining very rapidly. It consequently qualifies as Endangered.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Amazona viridigenalis is locally and seasonally fairly common to common on the Atlantic slope of north-east Mexico (Howell and Webb 1995a), mostly in Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosí, with small colonies in extreme north-east Querétaro (A. G. Navarro in litt. 1998). In 1992-1994, densities in one area were estimated at 5.7 birds/km2, indicating a wild population of 3,000-6,500 birds (E. C. Enkerlin-Hoeflich in litt. 1994, Enkerlin-Hoeflich 1995). This compares with 25.2 birds/km2 reported in the 1970s (Castro 1976). Based on field surveys and ecological niche models generated with MaxEnt models, the species has lost potentially 57% of their former historical distribution, although records for the species were obtained from Nuevo León, Veracruz, where it it had previously been thought to have disappeared (Monterrubio-Rico 2012; Monterrubio-Rico et al. in press). The population recently established in urban areas of the Lower Rio Grande Valley (Texas), USA, is considered by some to consist of wild birds (T. Brush in litt. 2003). Introduced or feral populations are also established (and mostly increasing) in Florida and California (USA), Puerto Rico (to USA), O'ahu (Hawaii) and several parts of Mexico (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997).

|In 1992-1994, estimated densities in one area in Mexico indicated a wild population of 3,000-6,500 birds (E. C. Enkerlin-Hoeflich in litt. 1994). This estimate roughly equates to 2,000-4,300 mature individuals.
Trend Justification: Historic densities recorded for the species were 25.2 birds/km2 in the 1970s (Castro 1976), falling to 5.7 birds/km2 in one area in 1992-1994 (E. C. Enkerlin-Hoeflich in litt. 1994, Enkerlin-Hoeflich 1995), indicating a decline of up to 77.4% over c.20 years. The decline is suspected to be continuing at a rate exceeding 50% over ten years, owing to the ongoing threats of trapping and forest clearance.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It inhabits lush areas in arid lowlands and foothills, especially gallery forest, deciduous woodland and dry, open pine-oak woodland on ridges up to 1,000 m. In central Tamaulipas it has been observed in mixed landscapes of wooded mountain slopes with adjacent mixed scrub, citrus or villages (T. Brush in litt. 2016). Smaller numbers occur in agricultural landscapes with a few large trees. Nests are usually in tree-cavities, with breeding from March-May. Clutches of 2-5 eggs are incubated for 25-31 days (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997). It is nomadic in winter, with large flocks moving south (and apparently north) and to higher elevations. It feeds largely on the fruits of dominant tree species (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Major Threat(s):
|In 1970-1982, 16,490 birds (mostly nestlings) were legally imported into the USA. Illegal exports from Mexico and a pre-export mortality of >50% equates to 5,000 birds per year (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997). Trappers damage nests when extracting chicks (sometimes felling entire trees), reducing nest-site availability and leading to permanent site abandonment (Snyder et al. 2000). Many gallery forests have been cleared or degraded, with over 80% of Tamaulipas lowlands cleared for agriculture (especially sorghum) and pasture. Habitat is now patchily distributed on cattle-ranches, where trapping pressure is greatest (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997). Urban intensification may also present a threat to this species as despite the establishment of urban populations, removal of dead palms by landscapers could harm the species (K. Berg in litt. 2016), and widespread poaching of chicks from well-known urban nest sites could significantly harm these populations in the future (K. Berg in litt. 2016),
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES Appendix I (1992) and part of the European Endangered [Species] Programme of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). It occurs in El Cielo and Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserves (A. G. Navarro in litt. 1998, T. Brush in litt. 2003), but there are only small colonies in Sierra Gorda and its status in El Cielo is unknown (Wege and Long 1995, A. G. Navarro in litt. 1998). Ranchers are increasingly aware of the benefits of maintaining large trees, but this is not reflected in practice. Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct surveys to obtain an estimate for the total population size. Monitor populations to determine the extent of declines. Identify the most important nesting aggregations for protection (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997). Integrate ranchers into efforts to curtail trapping and regenerate habitat (Enkerlin-Hoeflich and Hogan 1997). Urban populations allow for the possibility of environmental education and public awareness programs, including large metropolitan areas of Matamoros and Reynosa (K. Berg in litt. 2016).

What: Dr Matthew Flannagan speaking on Moral Relativism
When: Tuesday 9th June – 7:00pm
Where: Lecture Room 2, Laidlaw College, 80 Central Park Drive, Henderson, West Auckland
Format: Talk followed by questions, answers and discussion.
Cost: Free but donations are appreciated
A popular view of ethics holds that actions are right or wrong only if a person or a community believes that they are right or wrong, and that it is inappropriate to apply your own standards to others. This position is known as moral relativism. In this talk Matt will look at the common arguments for relativism, argue that relativism is a mistaken view of ethics and show how relativism fails.
Dr Flannagan holds a PhD in Theology, a Masters degree in Philosophy. His area of expertise is the interface between Philosophy and Theology, Applied Ethics and Worldviews. He lectures in History of Philosophy for Laidlaw College and in Sociological Issues in Education for Bethlehem Tertiary Institute and is currently re-training to be a high school Religious Studies/Philosophy teacher. He writes for MandM and has nearly 15 years experience engaging and challenging secular culture both in New Zealand and internationally.
He has formally debated the Abortion Law Reform Association of New Zealand's Dr Zoe During and the New Zealand Association of Rationalist Humanist's Dr Bill Cooke; he has been published in several international journals of philosophy and has a personal reference from the then President of the Evangelical Theological Society in his resume.

I snack too much during the day. I've started to look for healthier options, however, because I know that its inevitable that I will get hungry. Here are my three favorite snacks that have less than 100 calories.
1. One Cup of Blueberries [1].
Let's face it, blueberries are a little expensive. However, they are packed with vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber. Plus, they are chock full of antioxidants as well. One cup of this fruit is about 85 calories.
2. Banana and Vanilla Smoothie [2]
I love smoothies, but some of my favorites have way too many calories. For a version that is under a hundred calories, throw a third of a banana and a fourth of a cup of vanilla Greek yogurt into a blender. Add a handful of ice, blend and enjoy!
3. Baked Apple [2]
I don't love regular apples. But, baked apples are incredibly delicious! Simply core a small apple and add a teaspoon of brown sugar and a little bit of cinnamon. Bake it and then enjoy a treat for under a hundred calories!

Christina Aguilera: Stripped Live in the UK-264
"I've seen Madonna in concert in September but I regret to have missed Christina because her show is much better ! She sings (live !) very well, the power of her voice is still amazing, and there's an incredible energy in her show. Really much more that in the one from Beyonce. Christina speaks a lot with her fans and the atmosphere is crazy. The dancers are extraordinary. Sets are great with fans, fire, huge screens, smoke, ... Special mention goes to Fighter (what energy !!!), At Last (Great), Beautiful (Wondeful song as usual), the Voice Within and What a Girl Wants. Congratulations Xtina and you know, you're are much more pretty with blacks rather than blonds hairs ;)"

So as promised, some snaps of the 1st day of the photo shoot for a Cosmetics label taking place in New York!
I arrived Friday late afternoon in New York, it has been so good to be back! Friday evening we had the 1st meeting for the shoot to go over the details and Saturday I was picked up early morning to be at the set for make-up and styling at 8am.. It was a long day but I had so much fun and met great people, the whole team has been great and they really helped me to get over my nerves and did an amazing job!!
Sunday was the 2nd day of the shoot and was maybe one of the hardest days of my life haha.. it was 15 hours of make-up, styling and set changes and we worked non-stop!! For me it was so hard because I had hardly a break and had to be careful with the make-up.. We shot for a video too so it was kind of the first time for me to "act" which was really hard! I really really tried my best to give bursts of energy even when I was so tired!! I hope I can show some pics of the second day soon!
Right now I have to take a quick shower to get ready for the final day of video shooting!!
I still need to upload pictures from my meeting in Amsterdam with Yara and Cindy from This Chick got Style and comeovertothedarksidewehavecandy just before I left for New York! they gave me some of the best tips ever ;)

Minecraft is both an interesting and pretty easy games to play around only if you understand the simple tricks that are involved. Ideally, minecraft plunges you in to the shoes and vests you with the responsibility of creating tools and items, fighting with monsters and make a world of your own. The game does not come with any of the guiding tutorials and thus this renders the game quite steep to cope up for the beginners. The game can be played in different modes. You can decide to play the single player or the multiplayer mode. Multiplayer playing mode is where you are connected through minecraft servers with to other players who you play together while the single player mode is where you play alone.
If you want to try minecraft for free, then the multiplayer setting will not be available for you. Before playing the game, you are required to adjust the sound and other difficulty settings as this will determine how monsters are going to show up and attack you at night. You need to choose between the different modes i.e. survival, creative, adventure and hardcore. In the survival mode, you will be required to cater for various requirements that will aid you in fighting and building your own world. These include materials to cater for hunger, oxygen when you will be swimming and armor. In the creative mode, you be advantaged and will have accessed all materials to cater for your hunger and even health. Moreover, in the adventure mode, the player is required to harvest materials while interacting with other utilities. In the hardcore, the world that you would have created in locked permanently and in case you die, then you will lose your world. It is therefore a level that will require you to be extra vigilant.
Minecraft game is quite interesting and full of fun. It is worthy of all the fun and you will ideally love it. Try minecraft free today and get all the fun that you've yearned for.Continue reading »

Simple ingredients, expertly blended, can produce devastating results. Release number five continues to explore unchartered territory for the Romanian label, presenting the meaty, classic minimal house sounds of Mattia D'Amato.
Awash with devastating drums, crashing claps and heavyset synths, it's fair to say he aims directly for the dance floor jugular. The former immediately opens up a dialogue between a set of booming stabs and low-slung synths, underlaying their groovy interplay with thumping kicks and acid curls. What's left is a winning slice of creamy minimal house.
As the record rolls on, a flurry of thunderous claps and metronomic snares give it more of a peak-time techno-lean, while still preserving that golden-era swing. Whatever way you look at it, they're a pair of main-room monsters.
Release TBA.

At DIV, we define innovation broadly, to include: new technologies, products, or services; new business or operational models; process, implementation, or system improvements; or applications of behavioral economics. Innovation need not be high-tech or product-based.
DIV was founded on the belief that the next breakthrough development solution could come from anyone, anywhere. As an open innovation fund, DIV opens the door of USAID to both traditional and non-traditional partners everywhere, with the goal of bridging the innovation gap for early-stage development solutions. Inspired by the venture capital experience, DIV uses a tiered, evidence-based grant funding model to catalyze innovations that work while avoiding long-term investments in those that don't. DIV funding allows innovators to test their ideas, gather rigorous evidence of impact and cost-effectiveness, and scale their proven solutions to reach millions of people.

1999 Ford Ka 1.3 e.i.
A small and cheap fun car
Nothing except usual wear.
General Comments:
I bought this car before my last year of University.
I bought it in Italy a week before leaving. The dealer was excellent by giving me the car in 4 days.
I must admit that I was about to buy it on the Internet. All I had seen before buying it was the 3D inside view on the web site. I liked it straight away.
The first thing I did with the car was to travel for 1600 kilometers (1000 miles) from Bergamo, Italy to London, UK.
All the trip was made at a speed between 80 and 100 kmh (50-60 mph).
So the engine has received the best of treatments during the first miles. Now it performs better than expected. It handles brilliantly and really is fun to drive in town.
I have done another trip back to Italy so far, and it has performed even better. Now is time for another trip back to the UK. I am sure it will be a nice experience.
Only let down is that since the shape of the headlights is so weird, I cannot redirect them to point left. So when soon I will need to have an MOT done I will need to go for a day trip to France and have it done by a French dealer. Oh well, more booze in the fridge I guess! :-)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Cars Home / Stuff to Buy Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Hyundai's Genesis is building quite a new reputation for itself, and with the new 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec, things can only get better. We had the chance to spend a week behind the wheel of the new R-Spec and have plenty to say about this sport luxury sedan.
The R-Spec has the new look of the Genesis and some options only available on this model. The first thing I noticed on it was the unique 19-inch machined-finish alloy wheels, which look absolutely stunning. Also featured on our test model were HID Xenon adaptive cornering headlights with LED accents with dark chrome inserts to help the Genesis stand out from the rest. Combined with the platinum metallic paint job, this car was making impressions before we even stepped inside. For the front view, the grille has been enhanced, sporting a more aggressive front fascia with larger intake openings developed to make lasting memories for those checking out the car in their rearview mirror and heated auto dimming outside mirrors with turn signal indicators. The overall look of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec screams power and attitude!
There is no doubt in your mind when you enter this car that the designers had the driver in mind when they built this car. The seating position is superb and the materials rivaling much more expensive models. Our R-Spec interior included rain-sensing windshield wipers with auto defogging windshield, ultra-premium leather seating surfaces with heated front seats, cooled driver seat, heated rear seats, tailor leather wrapped dashboard and door trim inserts, power tilt and telescopic steering column, power tilt and slide moonroof and power rear sunshade, lexicon 17 speaker 7.1 discrete audio with 6-disc CD changer, ultimate navigation system with 8 inch display, driver information system with multimedia controller, leather wrapped steering wheel, push button start, Bluetooth hands-free phone system with integrated display, smart cruise control with LCD cluster display, electronic parking brake with automatic vehicle hold, front and rear parking assistance system with rearview camera, illuminated door sill plates and R-Spec carpeted floor mats, HD radio and XM Nav Traffic. That's a lot considering all of the room in the cabin and trunk space reminiscent of cars we dream about.
This is where the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec separates itself from the pretenders. With nearly a half a liter more displacement than the standard V8, the Tau 5.0-liter also gains direct-injection technology to deliver 429-hp at 6400 rpm and 376 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. That's an increase of 44-hp and 43 lb-ft of torque over the standard 4.6-liter, which continues on for 2012. Both engines also get a new 8-speed automatic which Hyundai touts as delivering a more refined drive, though the fuel economy gains are minimal with Hyundai claiming just a 1-mpg highway increase for the 4.6, while the 5.0-liter is down slightly at 16/25-mpg. These are numbers that are usually reserved for two-seat sports cars, but now you can have all of this enormous power in a luxury sports sedan. Handling is better with electronic stability control, traction control, ABS with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, lane departure warning system. The road is your friend in this car that boasts R-Spec sport tuned multi link suspension. The power and smoothness are as good as it gets in this price range of $46,500 and that makes folks expect more for less.
Just a few years back, car buyers could not have imagined getting everything that the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec offers at the price point where the car comes in today. For that, we commend Hyundai for pushing the envelope and building the V8 5.0 R-Spec. The value pricing is catching shoppers' attentions and the sweet styling will bring them into the showrooms. Power and performance are extraordinary and with fuel economy coming in at 16 mpg city and 25 mpg highway you can enjoy the driving experience without burning a hole in your pocket.

Sovereign Living is a reality based educational program about the Blush Family (John Bush and Cat Bleish) and their quest to become self-sufficient and lead a voluntary and natural life.
When complete, the first season will include twelve episodes, each of which covering a different aspect of Sovereign Living. From gardening and community defense to natural health and alternative currencies, Sovereign Living aims to educate, entertain, and inspire people to take responsibility for their lives.
Episode Four of Season One takes place at PorcFeat 2013 and is all about alternative currencies, paying special attention to Bitcoin. At Porcfest, I link up with Erik Voorheess who explains the basics of bitcoin and sets me up with a Bitcoin wallet. I then use the Bitcoin ATM, talk to people about BTC, inflation, and subjective value, and use BTC at vendor booths.
Here is a sneak peek of a clip we shot for Episode 4:

We encourage prospective Adirondack Loop members to sign up for a one week intro share before committing to the membership. We prorate one week's worth of food for you and your family and you place your order through our online order form. To receive a one week intro share please fill out the agreement below. Please remember that because our model is set up as free-choice all members of your household must sign up for a intro share.
Q. What is a CSA?
A. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA members pay up front for a share of the farm's production.
Q. How is free choice, full diet CSA different from the average vegetable CSA?
A. Essex Farm pioneered the free choice, full diet model.
Full diet means the share includes meats, eggs, dairy, grains, and more. For members who are dedicated to cooking whole food in season, the share provides enough food in enough variety to make the grocery store obsolete. In practice, most members still buy some items we don't produce, such as vegetable oil, rice, and tropical fruit, plus some convenience food and some occasional out of season vegetables.
Free choice means that instead of receiving a box that has been packed for you with things you may or may not use, you can choose any quantity or combination of items each week.
In order to make the share work for everyone, we ask that you take only what your household will use in a week. The exception to that rule is that during the growing season, members are encouraged to take extra produce to freeze or can.
Q. What is the term for membership?
A. We welcome new members at any point in the year, as long as we have space. Once signed up, your membership will extend through the end of the calendar year. Members renew their contracts each January.
Q. Why do I pay upfront for the rest of the year?
A. CSA creates a close relationship between farmers and members. Farming is a slim-margin business with a lot of inherent risk. The CSA model, with upfront payment, helps with our highly front-loaded production costs, our mid-range field and livestock plans, and balancing our yearly budget. It also allows us farmers to focus less on sales and marketing, and more on growing high quality food. Finally, it gives members a deeper sense of partnership with the farm and the farmers.
Q. What payment methods are accepted?
A. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. (We charge a 3.25% processing fee for all credit card transactions.)
Q. When do I pick up my food?
A. We invite our members to visit the farm on Fridays, from 3pm to 7pm, and take what they need for the week, in any quantity or combination they choose. Members are encouraged to take extra produce during the growing season for freezing or canning, to supplement what is available from the root cellar during winter and early spring. We sometimes limit scarce items, like maple syrup or the year's first tomatoes, but most food is available on an all-you-can-eat basis.
Q. What about vegetables in the winter?
A. We harvest hardy vegetables from the field through late fall and even into early winter. The selection in late winter and early spring comes from our root cellar, and includes potatoes, winter squash, carrots, beets, cabbage, garlic, onions, turnips, rutabaga, etc. We encourage members to freeze extra produce and herbs in the summer for variety in late winter and spring.
Q. What is raw milk?
A. Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. We encourage all members to become familiar with the risks and benefits of raw milk.
Q. Do we offer everything, every week?
A. No. We butcher for each distribution but do not always offer beef, pork and chicken every week.
Q. How is your meat different from what I might get at the grocery store?
A. Most people think our pastured chickens are much more flavorful. Chickens come whole, not in parts. Our pigs are raised on pasture, plus skim milk and organic and home grown grains; depending on the age of the pig they tend to have a little more fat – and a lot more flavor – than what you typically find at the store. Our grass-fed beef is lean, and is generally tougher and also more flavorful than grain-fattened beef. Most members like it best ground or as slow-cooked cuts, not steaks.
Q. What cuts can I expect?
A. Because we are raising and butchering whole animals for our members, we all eat from nose to tail. We offer ground beef and ground pork, plus roasts, chops, bulk sausage, chickens, organs, and bones.

Happy Birthday Cordelia!
It has been a pleasure hearing about (and seeing) all of the adventures of her first year here on your blog.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Today's year in review is especially adorable :)
Best Regards,
Linda ( a frequent reader, but not so frequent commenter) :)
P.S. When you named Cordelia I was SO in love with the name but disappointed at the same time. My husband's name is Cordell and that would have been a PERFECT name for a daughter for us! Alas...your great name came along 20 years too late for us!

Tu Bishvat (Hebrew: טו בשבט) is a Jewish holiday, occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat (in 2013, Tu Bishvat will start from sunset on 25 January and finish at nightfall on 26 January). It is also called "Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot" (Hebrew: ראש השנה לאילנות), literally "New Year of the Trees." In contemporary Israel the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day and trees are planted in celebration.
The name Tu Bishvat is derived from the Hebrew date of the holiday, which occurs on the fifteenth day of Shevat. "Tu" stands for the Hebrew letters Tet and Vav, which together have the numerical value of 9 and 6, adding up to 15. Tu Bishvat is a relatively recent name; the date was originally called "Ḥamisha Asar BiShvat" (חמשה-עשר בשבט), which also means "Fifteenth of Shevat".

by Philip Viens
Do you believe in signs? Are you superstitious? I do and I am – a little of each – and not for the reasons that support either.
I believe in signs because of the magic that comes with the notion that I am present in two or – maybe more dimensions simultaneously – the idea that there is more to know and experience beyond the knowledge horizon.
I am a little superstitious for some of the same reasons I believe in signs; it's something that keeps me humble in a way, keeps me out of the duality of life – from calling myself an atheist – which is more of a term theists use, and from endorsing anything remotely defined by theists as God.
I read about the work being done in Switzerland with the Hadron collider; was thrilled with the very real concerns expressed by some scientists that colliding particles could open a black hole that would swallow our universe and can be delightfully lost with the thought of witnessing events so tiny and so fast they could hardly be said to have occurred at all; the molecular dance.
Time is what we use when we try to define the essence of who and what we are – infinite oneness with everything in the universe – and likely, as physicists are discovering, well beyond our universe – and more like mutli-verse. We use it to form words that try to capture the awe we experience in the presence of life, as Mary Oliver observes in her poem Picking Blueberries, Austerlitz, New York, 1957":
Once, in summer,
in the blueberries,
I fell asleep, and woke
When a deer stumbled against me.
I guess
she was so busy with her own happiness
she had grown careless
And was just wandering along
to the wind as she leaned down
to lip up the sweetness.
So, there we were
with nothing between us
but a few leaves, and the wind's
glossy voice
shouting instructions
The deer
backed away finally
and flung up her white tail
and went floating off toward the trees –
to be absent again from the world
and alive, again in another,
for thirty years
sleepy and amazed,
rising out of the rough weeds,
listening and looking.
Beautiful girl,
Where are you?
"…the moment before she did that was so wide and so deep…"
I have experienced such – moments. A moment is not a measure of time. The word is a metaphor that points to a suspension of time. You experience these moments. These moments are signs; they transform us even if just for that instant – we are forever altered and the responsible thing to do is to learn from it and earn the cost of it through living humbly for having been graced with the experience of whatever it was, whatever it is that altered us.
If we were to think on time as it really is, it is an experience in constant motion, being born and collapsing at speeds our three dimensional minds cannot comprehend except for those experiences in – moments – the signs that come in – moments.
Superstition is born of instinctually knowing there is something beyond the three dimensions, it is part of the world of signs.
Of course, signs and superstitions run amok fill waiting rooms of psychiatrist's, lead some to hitch rides on spaceships obscured by comets and others to run for various offices. But I'm not talking about that. Anything, off its hinges or badly rooted is a sign of another sort. I'm talking about the signs and superstitions that cause us to pause, warm our hearts, make us smile at our foolishness, cause us to mock ourselves with how lofty we think we are.
Even if you don't believe it, a black cat crossing your path will still make you ponder your future circumstance as will breaking a mirror, Friday the thirteenth, a full moon, opening an umbrella in the house, all of these things are a part of our heritage beliefs that tried to help us cope with a world beyond our ability to fully grasp – even today.
So much of our life experiences are based on beliefs, supported and unsupported by facts. We raise ourselves up when they are supported by facts, we reduce ourselves to primitive beings when they are not – and worse because of course, beliefs, unsupported by facts usually have painful consequences at small levels, horrific consequences on larger scales.
Be on the lookout for the signs in your life that make you wonder, that give you pause, either looking back or when you are in the presence of one; the signs that validate the goodness in your heart, that you trust are telling you that you are on the right path, are living a full life, are earning – the moment.

Earlier this year, chicken-hungry Sam Boughen, a 26-year-old dad from the United Kingdom, made headlines when he awoke from a coma and almost immediately asked for some KFC.
Boughen, who had undergone two liver transplants, became the subject of many jokes after his fowl request, with some claiming the young man had gone so potty for poultry that he had clean forgotten about his worried family.
This week, two men in unrelated incidents are proving that Boughen is not the only one to go crazy for chicken -- only this time, the results aren't funny.
According to the Smoking Gun, an elderly woman from South Carolina was allegedly beaten up by her grandson over the weekend because of a mix-up over a chicken salad.
The 67-year-old grandmother allegedly told her grandson, Jesse Beam, that she had bought some chicken salad from the grocery store, when the young man suddenly erupted in rage.
"Don't call me chicken, again!" said 26-year-old Beam, according to a police report from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
The woman explained to Beam that he had misunderstood her, but he allegedly attacked her anyway -- causing her to sustain an assortment of "cuts, contusions and scratches."
In a similar chicken-related incident in Hartlepool, England, a man allegedly attacked his elderly father because the older man had bought him supermarket chicken instead of KFC, the Mirror reports.
Norman Bell, 76, spent 11 days in hospital following the February incident.
The 46-year-old recovering alcoholic, who had allegedly drunk half a bottle of whiskey and four cans of beer before the assault, was arrested at the scene.
Thanks to his dad, though, the younger man escaped jail time. Citing his son's slow but steady progress in rehab, Bell made a plea for his son to remain free.
Beam, however, hasn't been so lucky. He was arrested for assault and battery and was booked into the Spartanburg County jail, reports the Smoking Gun. He currently remains in custody in lieu of $2,000 bond.
