US based security advisory firm The Soufan Group noted Wednesday that these actions are part of a concerted effort by Iran and the Syrian regime to capitalize on USA backed gains and "establish a secure land corridor extending from Iran to Lebanon , enabling Iran to better supply its main regional ally, Lebanese Hezbollah, which supports pro-Iranian forces in Syria ".

Specifically, the Edge Sense "grip" feature will be coming to this phone, something only the U11 has for now. HTC's newly leaked device will come with HTC USonic technology as well which makes it very much possible that the device won't be having a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The airport was reopened about an hour later. Several drivers stopped on the side of the road to help the plane's two occupants before firefighters arrived to douse the flames and treat the injured. The crash happened near the approach to John Wayne Airport, described as a busy commuter airport.

On Sunday, November 24, 2013, protester and horses along with shop keepers, teachers and farmers took to the streets of Paris to complain about President François Hollande's plan to treble taxes on equestrian centers, saying that the tax increases would result in thousands of horses being doomed to slaughter.
Protesters and horses took to the streets of Paris to complain about a plan to treble taxes on equestrian centers, saying that the tax increases would result in thousands of horses being doomed to slaughter.
© 2013 by Daniel Vaulot
Thousands of disgruntled horse and pony riders rode through the French capital to complain about tax increases they say will put many of them out of business and send '80,000 animals to the abattoir.'
The horses and riders blocked roads from the symbolic Paris squares, Place d'Italie, Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation, in protest at government plans to almost treble VAT (taxes) on equestrian centers.
It was the latest manifestation of the growing revolt over President François Hollande's tax reforms, many of them aimed at reducing the country's public deficit to meet European Union demands.
The increase in taxes on equestrian centers from 7% to 20% has been imposed on France by an European commission directive that has the backing of the European court of justice. French equestrian associations want the directive renegotiated.
Serge Lecomte, the president of the Fédération Française d'Équitation, told journalists: "The situation is exceptional. The whole sector is now in danger."
Lecomte said the VAT increase would lead to the closure of 2,000 horse centres out of 7,000 with a loss of 6,000 jobs out of 40,000, in the next 18 months. "It will send 80,000 horses to the abattoir," he said.
France has about 700,000 horse-riding instructors and 2.3 million people who ride, 82% of them women. It is the third most popular sport in France.
The government has promised subsidies to prevent riding schools from going under, but Lecomte said this was not a solution.

Chris Froome says "nothing is impossible" after his historic Tour de France and La Vuelta double.
The 32-year-old Briton on Sunday completed victory in La Vuelta to become the third rider to win the Tours of France and Spain in the same year and the first since the Vuelta was moved to its current position in the calendar in 1995.
Froome has long eyed May's Giro d'Italia from afar, knowing the Tour is his priority and it will likely remain so in 2018 when he will seek a fifth yellow jersey.
His achievement in the last three months has led some to suggest he could target all three grand tours in the same year.
Stephen Roche, who in 1987 won the Giro, Tour and the Road World Championships title, reckons it would be "humanly impossible".
Asked if winning the Giro, Tour and Vuelta was a realistic aim, Froome told BBC Radio Four's Today programme: "I wouldn't say it's impossible, nothing's impossible, but certainly it would take some doing."
Froome has won four of the last five Tours and had finished runner-up in La Vuelta three times [2011, 2014 and 2016] before claiming the red jersey this year.
Belgium's Eddy Merckx won a record 11 grand tours in his storied career and was known as 'The Cannibal' due to his appetite for victory.
Asked if he could hope to target Merckx's achievement of 11 wins, Froome said: "A completely different era. Eddy Merckx's time of racing, he was able to win every single race on the calendar. The sport is transformed since his time."
One of the recent transformations has been the dominance of Team Sky.
Team Sky have won five of the last six editions of the Tour de France, with Sir Bradley Wiggins triumphant in 2012 before Froome's wins in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
"We're not going to change what we're doing. It's obviously a winning formula," Froome added. "The team is super strong and we're extremely proud to have the backing of a sponsor like Sky, who are behind us all the way."

Why staff training is important and how software can help
At heart of every healthcare provider is a HR team whose job involves keeping on top of the huge array of different training required by staff. Finding time to organise training for employees, whilst continuing to deliver patient services seems impossible. This is where HR and rota management software can help!
Benefits of employee training
A well trained employee that is supported and valued will always be more productive than an employee who feels that they are under appreciated. Effective training promotes employee satisfaction, which can have a direct effect on job performance and therefore help improve patient care.
Keeping up to date training records help keep your employees safe at work. All workers are entitled to work in environments where risks to their health and safety are properly controlled. This may involve training first aiders, training staff on how to prevent the spread of germs, and training nominated fire marshals. Under health and safety law, the responsibility for this is down to employers, so this training must be addressed so that your organisation is compliant.
So how can we make life easier, make jobs more fulfilling, and still increase productivity? RotaMaster could be the answer and here's why:
With the vast array of different training that employees can now attend it can be difficult to know where or how to start. Do you print out the badly formatted 20 page spreadsheet and spend hours trying to piece it together? Who keeps a track of what is due? Have staff completed training and not told you? Do all these staff still work here?
With RotaMaster you can keep track of all training that has been completed and the system will alert you when these are due to expire. When tracking new starter training, mandatory training or refresher training, it is possible to record this with an expiry date and the system will not allow you to book the member of staff into a shift until the necessary training has been completed. Using the rota views, you can highlight staff on training courses, making it easy to view who is and isn't available in the roster and ensuring you have enough cover for your services.
Central System
With one central system to keep a record of all the training that has been completed by employees, the ownership can be given to line managers who can be given tailored access to the RotaMaster system enabling them to view the training that has been completed, or needs to be arranged within their team.
Has every member of staff had a full induction? Do all staff have up to date fire alarm and health and safety training? An employee has applied for an internal promotion – have they got the relevant qualifications/training for the job? All these questions and more can be answered quickly and easily with the at-a-glance view and many reports that the RotaMaster system can create. In turn this improves your HR team's efficiency, saving you previously wasted time.
Whether the information is needed for an individual member of staff, a team or staff as a whole, RotaMaster can help you produce this information in a timely manner. Our soon-to-be-launched reporting creation tool that means you can create reports with any data you may need from the information saved on RotaMaster.
To find out how RotaMaster's People+ module can help you manage employee training, you can read more here: http://www.rotamaster.co.uk/products/rotamaster/people. To contact the team, please email email@example.com or call 01924 252 360.

Educating for a Sustainable Future
Shelburne Farms is a magical place and innovative organization. It works with a growing network of deeply connected partners and educators dedicated to sustainability and to creating a dynamic K-12 curriculum, focusing on the value of sustainability in community.
Read about the inspiring way that Shelburne Farms is moving us toward an exemplary ecological civilization by cultivating a love of the earth.
Shelburne Farms – Educating for Sustainability
An Interview with Alec Webb, President and Megan Camp, Vice President & Program Director of Shelburne Farms
Background Questions
- What inspired you to start this organization?
Alec:It was really the social unrest of the 60's combined with growing concerns around environmental degradation globally and regionally that led a group of people, including myself, to form Shelburne Farms Resources as an educational organization in the early 1970's. The non-profit was incorporated in 1972.
- What is your mission?
Alec: Our mission is to cultivate a conservation ethic for a sustainable future. It is about cultivating awareness and intention around the choices that we make with the long-term health of the land and communities in mind. In our case, that plays out in two ways. We practice stewardship here on our 1400-acre working farm (which is also a National Historic Landmark), and then use it as a campus for learning and thinking about sustainability.
- How do people find out about your organization?
Alec: People learn about us mostly through word of mouth from people who have had some relationship with the farm by coming to stay or participating in a program. But a lot of work goes on beyond this place, too, and people find out about us that way. In a lot of ways our work isn't about this place, even though this place is an inspiration for what we do.
Megan: It is also this growing network of educators who are concerned about sustainability and are inspired, as well as the sustainability community who recognize the value of education. There is a convergence of these communities and the network is growing.
- How are you funded?
Alec: We are funded through a combination of earned revenue streams, charitable contributions (mostly from private individuals and foundations), and some government funding, which is the smallest percentage of our support. Our operating budget is close to 10M dollars; about 2/3 is from our land-based enterprises, which is the milk and cheese we produce and sell; from accommodations and meals from people who come and stay and learn here; and from day admission fees for visitors.
- What other organizations do you work with?
Megan: We always say internally that if we had a middle name here at Shelburne Farms it would be "partnerships". We have a deep belief in partnering with both public and private organizations, and we have long-term collaborations with both. Many of our relationships started with one organization, but over time, as the work has evolved to address system wide change through collective impact, we've worked with more diverse stakeholders than we did when we first started thirty years ago. We work with local government, state agencies, federal government and some other governments around the world. We also work with several NGO's, from small community grassroots organizations and to some larger international NGOs like IUCN, World Wildlife Fund or the National Wildlife Federation. Some of our partners are very invested in working in land conservation; others may be working in policy. Obviously given the nature of our work, some of our partnerships are around sustainable agriculture, and food systems and food justice. And then we have a whole network with educators, both formal and informal, that go from Pre-K to higher education, and with other more community-oriented education organizations. I would say we have quite an extended family of partners, especially as our work evolves to working with more complex networks.
Success and Challenge Questions
- What have been your greatest successes?
Alec: Looking at Shelburne Farms as a campus, we have been able to conserve an amazingly beautiful and productive working landscape with a unique set of historic structures and convert that into an amazing learning environment and community space that people can enjoy.
Megan: You would have to have known Shelburne Farms over the years to know that, the Farm, like many special places, had lots of pressures for alternative futures for it. To be able to have this place inspires other places around the world. Farms are not just a place to produce food, but they add another value to the fabric and health of a community. There aren't a lot of places that look just like Shelburne Farms, with its collection of historical structures, but they do have the same essential value in their community. Going back to the question about the change we want to see toward a more sustainable future and the role of education, a success we are excited and feel good about is this change and shift in the dialogue around the purpose of education and the purpose of re-orienting education toward sustainability. It was one thing to have the Earth Summit and talk about the U.N.'s Agenda 21 and the importance of education for sustainable development, but I think for me personally one of the most gratifying things was to ask "what does that look like in our own local community?" and for Vermont to go through a public participatory process and say that sustainability is important to us here. We went on to actually develop standards for our K-12 curriculum that orient us toward sustainability. Then we helped open a K-12 school called the Sustainability Academy, with a theme that says, "Let's make sustainability not just a subject but about how we learn." It is the lens for the entire curriculum. And it involves the entire community. We're excited that we have been able to connect a local initiative to other place-based initiatives around the country and the world and that continuous learning is happening. It's an experiment and it takes innovation and there isn't necessarily a model for what we are doing. We just hope that we can continue to inspire others and continue to be inspired by others as well.
- What goals do you still want to achieve?
Alec: We have big goals. We have been working on parallel tracks from the beginning of the non-profit year. It's a combination of doing more land conservation work – filling out the protected area that is conserved for farming, public access, enjoyment and learning, and a continuing set of infrastructure improvements to the campus for residential learning. It's building out of the campus and sustaining it through our enterprises.
Megan: Programmatically, we hope that places like the Sustainable Academy we have here in Burlington are not just theme or magnet schools or perhaps in some other communities, charter schools; instead, they are a pathway toward re-orienting the whole system of education toward sustainability. That's a long-term goal we are working towards, that these schools are not the exception but become what we expect school education to be.
- What are the biggest challenges you face, whether financial or other?
Alec: Sustaining a complex system and organization like this is a challenge, both financially and organizationally. It's about developing a system and a culture that can span generations and sustain a vibrant place that has a great spirit and important community values. This is a very long term proposition.
Megan: I think some of the challenges we have are in some of the areas in which we have been successful. Because it's about creating a shared vision, bringing people together around the shared vision, and identifying some of the leverages to change the system to achieve that vision. Then comes the big work of how we are going to work together to do that. And maybe the work we do together doesn't look the same as the work that we do alone. Along with that comes a real shift in the way in which we define leadership. If you really want to have change in a complex system, there needs to be more of a shared leadership structure. That's a shift from a deeply rooted leadership culture that's more about hierarchy.
- How do you begin to do that?
Megan: We begin to do it by doing good work together. It's important to spend time defining the work, and coming to agreement about our values and the way we want to work together. But then I think we just need to start…and constantly have feedback about how well we are doing and how we can adjust. Sometimes we are afraid and spend too much time planning. I think when addressing complex ecological issues, we learn better through a more cyclical, natural, ecological system than through a big master plan that doesn't allow for things to emerge that we can continually learn and adapt to.
- What action(s) would you encourage people to take/how people can get involved with your work?
Megan: We believe the best way of getting involved in this work is to do it in your own place–locally; it's through the doing that the relationship building happens. Sometimes you find what you have been looking for is right in front of you. It's about exploring the community in which you live and finding ways to become involved. Then it's a question of how we can connect these nodes for larger impact. That's our work: to weave together a network.
Wrap-up Questions
- What does the term "Ecological Civilization" mean to you?
Alec: To me, that means a world that is filled with citizens who are caring and ecologically literate and who try to be as aware as they can about the long-term impacts of their choices on the health and well-being of all life on earth.
Megan: I think inherent in ecological civilization is an educational system that has pathways through it that help to create healthy and just communities.
- What do you believe are the most important next steps in the transition to achieve that?
Megan: I think it's tied into how we learn from each other and what organizations like yours do to shed light on the promising practices that can inspire us to engage. We think about this for youth but it's important for all of us: What is it that we can do? (And today is a particularly important day to be talking about it, the day after the presidential election.) What is a day in which you still have a sense of hope and a sense of efficacy or agency? At the end of the day, with all our work towards creating a more sustainable world, it comes back down to the belief that you can make a difference, both individually and collectively.
- What gives you hope about the future toward an ecological civilization?
Alec: I think giving people access to beautiful places in which to learn (as well as to music and art) can provide people with a sense of hope.
Megan: Every day at Shelburne Farms there are young people here. Today there was a group of 2ndand 3rd graders visiting from a small rural school about 32 miles away. I had the opportunity to stop in and spend some time with them. Every day a dosage of that gives me hope and inspiration for the future. And that's what I feel is our responsibility as an organization: to help support, unleash and cultivate the innovativeness, creativity and aspirations for the future.
- What is your best piece of advice for other eco organizations?
Alec: I have a quote from Calvin Coolidge in my file about persistence. I think staying with something you are passionate about for the long haul has worked for us here and allowed us to accomplish a lot over the years. Looking at it as a long-term endeavor, not a quick fix, and being patient…
Megan: …which is sometimes hard to balance with a sense of urgency. Part of it is embracing that tension between patience, persistence and urgency. Life is full of lots of those tensions and for us it has been recognizing the need for polarity management when operating in complex systems. Another cultural and organizational learning related to the practice and pedagogy for sustainability is maintaining a place of continuous inquiry and awareness that can then lead to action.
- What would you like the broader public to understand and appreciate from your experience so far?
Alec: I think the importance of the human and natural community for everyone, wherever you live. I think those connections between people and place, between each other and the land, are really what it gets down to in my mind.
Megan: Right. I think for me, it goes back to the story about the 2nd grade class that was visiting here today, remembering that it just wasn't a class that came from a school and it wasn't just students who were children from a family. It's more that those are all our children as a society and as a world. It's up to us to make our actions and our decisions with that in mind and then I think our decision making can flow from that. It is the responsibility of all of us, not just the responsibility of a family or a teacher or a school. I think it is something we need to rekindle, that it is the responsibility of the whole society and that is our future.
- What else would you like people to know about you and how else would you like your story to be told?
Megan: As Alec said, this is an amazing place. Maybe sometime you will get a chance to visit us and someone reading this will have a chance to come here because it is a beautiful and inspiring place. There is something about it that rekindles the soul. We would also like people to know that we are more than a place, we're really a bigger idea that transcends geography. Sometimes, because of the magnificence of the place, we can lose sight of the big idea behind the motivation to create Shelburne Farms, the non-profit. It was not only to save this place for future generations to enjoy.
Alec: The nonprofit incorporated in 1972, called Shelburne Farms Resources Inc., owned no property. It was founded with the idea of using this place for learning, to increase awareness of the importance of agriculture and natural resources to the health of the community and all of life. It's always been about the idea of learning and increasing our capacity to make better choices, to encourage ourselves and others to be more aware of the impact of our decisions about how and where we live, what we eat, how we design our buildings and transportation systems or the fuel we use. That, I think, is the real vision, that this would be one of many places around the world where every child would have the opportunity to grow up and have meaningful learning opportunities that are based in community relationships and connections to the land that really set them up for being responsible, successive generations that support an ecological civilization. And that's the dream, that we would be part of this network of educators worldwide sharing experiences and resources and loving children everywhere and helping change the world through that work.

When music star Modupe-Oreoluwa Oyeyemi Ola, known to all as Mo'Cheddah dropped off the music scene for a while, we all wondered what she was up to and many thought she had left the industry. Now, the "Ko Ma Roll" songstress has made a comeback with the love inspired track "Destinambari" featuring Phyno.
So, BN Music just had to chat with her to discuss everything she was up to during her break from the music industry, her new style, what to expect from her now that she's back, her relationship and much more.
On Music Career
Hi, we missed you in the music scene. Welcome back! What have you been up to?
I missed you guys too! I've been on a break, although I have been working behind the scenes recording and creating new material. I also had time to travel a lot, spend quality time with family and friends. My schedule before did not allow all these – it was road to plane, show to shoot, school back and forth etc.
Destinambari is a track that people love, and it's about love. What inspired the song?
I'm grateful for that, I love it too. Like you said, the song is about love. It is inspired by love. I love to love, and that was the state of mind while recording.
How was it like collaborating with Phyno?
It was amazing. It was easy and it was fun, Phyno has great talent and is good in his art.
And the video was amazing, how'd you come up with the concept?
The video concept was all Clarence Peters, he's the best, simple.
Are there any other singles or videos in the works? When should we expect them?
Yes, yes! I can't wait to share, but one at a time. I'm back now, you won't have to wait too long.
Should we be expecting an album anytime soon?
I have enough songs for an album, but I think I'll just release singles for now.
On Personal Life
Destinambari is a sweet love song – was it inspired by anyone in your life?
Hmmm, maybe…
You uploaded a picture of you with a ring on your finger that had people talking. Should we expect any good news soon? *wink*
Lol, it was a normal ring, it didn't look like that type of ring. I was wondering why people were talking. But good news, errrrr, wait for it.
On Future Plans
Aside from music, what else are you up to?
Music is me. I am music.
If you weren't doing music, what else would you do?
I don't know. Perhaps a chef, because I love to cook. Perhaps, I'd be a lawyer, because I know how to make my point. I'm really not sure.
How do you think the industry has changed since you've been gone and where do you see the future of Nigerian music/females in the industry?
The industry has grown and gotten better. Nigerian music is being exported now, it's great! I see the ladies doing their thing, they are going strong, sooner than later they will be peers with the guys in terms of achievement, better still – supercede.
You recently debuted your fringe, what inspired the look?
I really wasn't a fan of shortcuts initially, I saw it on my friend and decided to try it and Bam! Haven't stopped doing it since, I do miss my long hair, but for now, I'm rocking this, it's called the "Mo'Cheddah Cut".
Is there any fashion trend that you are really loving now?
Right now my best trends are metallic shoes,tops or skirts. I'm all about the easy and playful.
What's a no-no when it comes to your style?
As for no-no, nothing's a no-no if you can pull it off, I like to try new things.
Fun Stuff
What's your favourite Naija song to groove to in a club right now?
I'm not sure, I'm hardly in the club.
You were in South Africa for a while. Is there any artiste you would like to collabo with?
Yes I was in South Africa and I want to work with AKA.
Which song of yours are you most proud of?
I'm proud of every one of them.
Tell us about your best and worst performances? Any funny story?
Most memorable was in South Africa, crazy show. I can't remember any bad ones.
What advice will you give to artistes who are just starting out?
Be focused, set your own trend, have your own identity and believe.
It was great chatting with you Mo'Cheddah. Welcome back!

RONGEAD has initiated a new partnership with the NGO APYN - African Probiotic Yogurt Network based in Mwanza, Tanzania within the SEED Project - Sustainable Energy for Economic Development. APYN was recently created as a result of many years of work from several organisations in the field of women's right and empowerment as well as community health.
APYN promotes the establishment of probiotic yoghurt community health micro-enterprises that economically empower at risk and/or impoverished women and youth. Probiotic yoghurt aims at improving health and nutrition of the community, especially for people living with HIV/AIDS.
The event took place at Sahwa kitchen, Buhongwa, Mwanza on the 5th of October. Sahwa kitchen is one the women's groups that produces probiotic yogurt and has benefited, last June, from a biodigester (Compact Biogas System) through the SEED project in order to boil milk for yogurt making.
The session started by distributing yogurts to the participants, about 70 persons. Then, Mama Ana gave a brief background introduction explaining the various initiatives about fight for womens' right in Mwanza region. All the involved organisations, then, presented themselves: APYN, RONGEAD as well as EMEDO (another local partner organisation of RONGEAD for the SEED project) which is now our technical reference for biogas in the Lake Victoria area.
Mama Mbogo, the representative of Sahwa kitchen, explained the benefits of producing yogurt as an economic activity for the members of the group as well as the benefits of using biogas for their activity. A member of the community living with HIV testified of the beneficial effects of consuming probiotic yogurt daily.
Esther of APYN detailed how probiotics, consumed in yogurt form, improve the immune response, reduce intestinal disorders, morbidity and death of people living with HIV and reduce the risks of UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) for women. Then Nashon of EMEDO made a demonstration of the use of biogas explaining how it works and its benefits.
Among the assembly, most people came from the surroundings; representatives of organisations such as TAREA (TAnzanian Renewable Energy Association), VI- agroforestry and SIDO (Small Industries Development Organisation) also participated.
Besides raising awareness among the community regarding the benefits of consuming probiotic yogurt and using biogas, many persons showed great interest on biogas technology and interested in acquiring a household system !

Question about Kenwood KVT-617DVD Car DVD Player
I can't change the background image on my KVT 719. I loaded several .jpg images on my Iriver and when I plug it into the Kenwood unit it recognizes the folders containing audio files and shows the folder containing .jpg images but the folder containing the .jpg images is not selectable - it's just a ghost image on the screen.
Any ideas what I'm going wrong?
Posted by quattro1 on
The Iriver doesn't require any software, and can store any kind of file. It plays regular old .mp3s, that's what I have on it now.
I used windows explorer to create folders on the Iriver to organize my music. I created a specific folder with the background images (in .jpg format) to transfer them to the Kenwood but as mentioned the Kenwood doesn't recognize the folder containing the .jpg images. It knows it's there but the folder is not selectable.
The Kenwood recognizes the music folders/files fine and my .mp3's play fine.
Would I have better (any?) luck burning the .jpg images onto a CD?
One other thing - it says that I should have three pre-loaded backgrounds to select from but I can't see where I can do that either. When I go under "user interface" I can't select any of the buttons on the page. They are there, but they are ghosted out/I can't push them.
UPDATE: I was just reading the instruction manual under "Entering Background" and under selecting and loading imaged I just saw a little footnote which reads "This operation is not possible when USB is selected as the source". Is trying to use my USB Iriver my problem?
If so, how would you recommend I transfer 'jpg's to my Kenwood?
thanks again,
can't load new images on kvt719. I loaded images once but when tried to change could'nt re-load
I go to the SOURCE and use STANDBY then go to SETUP and choose USER INTERFACE from there you should have the option to hit the CHANGE button and it will direct you to where you have your picture files saved. You can only store 3 pictures to the Kenwood DVD players memory so choose wisely or you can also just keep taking them from the MEMORY option which will use your USB device. Took me a while to figure it out, a complete pain in the ***. Now I am trying to figure out how to play my AVI files from USB... Any suggestions?
Posted on Aug 28, 2008
Guys, the solution is to go to system set up, and there go to background First, you have to load the file to the kenwood memory and aftear that, you'll see it in the screen as a posibility to use it in the background.
Posted on May 27, 2008
All you need to do is save the pic's on a usb memeory stick and plug in to your usb extension on the kenwood. Make sure that you have selected Tuner as a source, go into user interface screen and proceed as instructed in the manual. Solution 1 is the way fwd as it worked for me. You can not load pic's/images from CD.
Posted on Mar 21, 2008
I just purchased the KVT719DVD. I found that I must first go to "Tuner" then once there proceed to the user interface screen. After that, the button no longer appear greyed out and you can load your images.
Posted on Mar 20, 2008
This is not really a solution, but it is more data for you to consider:
I recently installed a Kenwood DDX512 in my car and have been experiencing a nearly identical problem.
I attempted to view some jpg images on a USB flashdrive, and potentially upload one as the wallpaper, but when I plugged the device in it gave me the message: "no media file". Next, I tried the same USB device with a few mp3s added to it, and the unit recognizes and plays the mp3s but still no sign of the pictures. I've also burned a couple of CDs in the proper format (ISO 9660 Level 1 - Joliet) according to Kenwood's specifications, and I still get the same result. Regardless of what source I am using, music and video files will load but images are simply not recognized by the unit.
As far as I can tell, the unit will recognize everything it is supposed to recognize except for image files. When I contacted Kenwood's technical support and explained the situation, they indicated that it sounds like a software bug and the unit would have to be shipped to one of their authorized service centers for repair. :-( I'm under the impression that this is probably an issue with a whole batch of their multimedia players, because the demonstration unit at the Best Buy where I purchased my player appears to have the same bug as you and I have.
I'm wondering if this does turn out to be a widespread firmware problem, will they actually offer a recall to repair/upgrade the affected units? Or will the consumers be stuck paying shipping fees and waiting a few weeks while the units get repaired?

Excursion (Amsterdam Zoo)
We have always been good at this
hanging out, eating chocolate,
losing a week here and there when we were students,
now there are 4 kids to consider
(3 mine, 1 yours) who need entertaining.
Later than we meant to the tram
it weaves through the city,
all the things we won't see.
Queue, turnstile, zoo,
I don't remember what was in the first house
except the smell, the boys couldn't stay in there.
Then the reptiles, how proud my kids are
of the frill-necked lizard
'we see them in our school-yard.'
The most alive lions
I've ever seen, pacing the enclosure
breaking into a run.
Lunch at a pirate ship playground
a sea-gull stealing our last sandwich
kids and chips and crying.
Butterfly house slows them to a sleepwalk
butterflies land on outstretched hands
her T-shirt, his hair.
We end with ice-cream and photos
the kids pulling faces, insane,
you and me smiling.

DONNA, TX --Authorities are investigating a drive-by shooting at a South Texas school bus stop that left two teenage boys wounded.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino told The Monitor of McAllen the teens were wounded by another teen with a single shot that struck both about 6:45 a.m. Wednesday.
Trevino said a 14-year-old male suspect is in custody and believes the attack was retaliation for an earlier fight between two local gangs.
Trevino says a 15-year-old boy grazed by the bullet was treated for the wound at a hospital, while a 14-year-old struck in the lower abdomen underwent surgery to remove the bullet. Two other children standing at the bus stop when the shooting happened weren't injured.
A 16-year-old also in the vehicle with the shooter was detained for questioning.

Malda district is a district inWest Bengal, India. It lies 347 km (215 miles) north of Kolkata, the state capital. Mango, jute and silk are the most notable products of this district. The special variety of mango produced in this region, popularly known by the name of the district, is exported across the world and is acclaimed internationally. The folk culture ofgombhira is a feature of the district, being a unique way of representation of joy and sorrow of daily life of the common people, as well as the unique medium of presentation on national and international matters.
District headquarters is English Bazar, also known as Malda, which was once the capital of Bengal. The district maintains the traditions of the past in culture and education. Old Malda, the town which lies just east of the confluence of the Mahananda and Kalindi rivers, is part of the English Bazar urban agglomeration. The town rose to prominence as the river port of the old capital of Pandua. During the 18th century it was the seat of prosperous cotton and silk industries. It remains an important distributing centre for rice, jute, and wheat. The area between the historical monument of Jame Masjid (1566) and the landmark of Nimasarai tower across the river Mahananda, constituted a municipality in 1867. Rice, jute, legumes, and oilseed are the chief crops in the surrounding area. Malda is the largest producer of excellent quality of jute in India. Mulberry plantations and mango orchards occupy large areas; mango trade and silk manufacture are the main economic activities. The Independence Day of Malda is 17 August 1947.
The latitude range is 24°40'20″ N to 25°32'08″ N, and the longitude range is 87°45'50″ E to 88°28'10″ E. The district covers an area of 3,733.66 square kilometres (1,441.6 sq mi). The total population (as of 2001 Census) was recorded as 3,290,160.
Malda is called the gateway of North Bengal. It was once the capital of Gour-Banga with its 3,733 square kilometres (1,441 sq mi) lay of the land classified into Tal, Diara, and Barind.
To the south is Murshidabad district, to the north are North Dinajpur district and South Dinajpur district. To the east is the international border with Bangladesh. To the west is Santhal Parganas of Jharkhand and Purnea of Bihar.
Jalpaiguri is located at 26.52°N 88.73°E. It has an average elevation of 75 metres (246 feet).Jalpaiguri lies in the middle of the vast fertile plains (Terai) south of the Himalayas, watered by innumerable rivers and rivulets rising from and flowing down the Himalayas. On a clear sunny day, the Mount Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest peak is visible from the city. The city lies on the banks of the Teesta River which is the second largest river in West Bengal after the Ganges. A mass flood in 1968 nearly flattened out the city and huge spurs had to be built and the river diverted to some km. outside the city to avoid the same carnage as it caused. Other than the Teesta, the Karala River, nicknamed the "Thames of Jalpaiguri", flows through the city thereby bisecting it into two halves
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Malda one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the eleven districts in West Bengal currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).
According to the 2011 census Malda district has a population of 3,997,970, This gives it a ranking of 58th in India (out of a total of 640).] The district has a population density of 1,071 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,770 /sq mi) .] Its population growth rateover the decade 2001-2011 was 21.5%.

|Tetralogy Of Fallot Repair: Optimal Z-score Use For Transannular Patch Insertion
Click to View Abstract
Transannular patching is used to relieve significant pulmonary annular stenosis during tetralogy of Fallot repair. Although recent literature has focused on the deleterious effects of pulmonary regurgitation, inadequate relief of stenosis may increase postoperative mortality and the re-intervention rate. Patching criteria based on pulmonary annular z-scores are ambiguous because of the use of varied z-score data sets. This study aimed to generate data that could be used to optimize z-score use for patch insertion. A retrospective review was made of medical records of patients who had a valve-sparing repair of tetralogy of Fallot between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2010. In a selected group in which the residual gradient was confined to the pulmonary valve, the post-repair peak pressure gradient was determined by trans-thoracic echocardiography and was correlated with the intra-operative pulmonary valve annulus (PVA) diameter z-score. Regression analysis was used to examine this relationship. Data from 46 patients with valve-sparing repair were reviewed; the median age and median weight were 6.5 months and 6.6 kg, respectively; the 30-day mortality was 2.2%. Analysis of these data implies that 25% of the time, all patients with a PVA z-score of -1.3 would have a PVA gradient ≥30 mmHg. Criteria that recommend a transannular patch insertion only when the PVA diameter z-score is significantly smaller than -1.3 (e.g. -3) may result in a significant number of patients with an unacceptable post-repair PVA gradient.

|Risk Of Conjunctival Contamination From Blood Splashes During Surgery At The Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi
Click to View Abstract
To determine the utilisation rate of design specific eye protection by surgeons and to assess the risk of conjunctival contamination with blood splashes during surgery. DESIGN: Cross sectional, observational study. SETTING: The theatre suite of Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi SUBJECTS: Surgeons from all specialties operating in the theatre suite. RESULTS: The minority of surgeons, 5.2% utilised protective eye goggles compared to 3.5% of assistants. Prescription eye spectacles were the most common form of eye protection at 41.9 and 20.9% respectively for surgeons and their assistants. The contamination rate for provided protective eye wear was 53.1% with the average number of droplets being 2.48 per procedure for the principal surgeon. The duration of surgery and the use of power tools influenced the contamination rate. CONCLUSIONS: The utilisation rate of design specific protective eye wear is low and with a significant risk of conjunctival contamination, changes in attitudes and practices are needed to increase utilisation
|Awori MN, Ogendo SW.Rachs-1 System In Risk Stratification For Congenital Heart Disease Surgery Outcome.East Afr Med J. 2008 Jan;85(1):36-8.
Click to View Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1) system has been used as a benchmark to compare surgical results in developed countries. Its ability to stratify postoperative mortality risk has been validated in several developed countries, however, this has not been examined in a developing country. OBJECTIVES: To assess the ability of the RACHS-1 system to stratify postoperative mortality risk in a developing country. DESIGN: Retrospective study over a five year period between 1st January 2002 and 31st December 2006. SETTING: Kenyatta National Hospital, a teaching and referral hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. SUBJECTS: Three hundred and seventeen consecutive operations were performed on 313 patients aged between 0.25 and 204 months. RESULTS: Operations were performed in RACHS-1 categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 with hospital mortalities of 2.5%, 16.9%, 29.4% and 50% respectively. The difference in mortality between categories 1 and 2 was significant (p-value of 0.0003), however, the difference in mortality between categories 2 and 3 and categories 3 and 4 was not significant (p-values 0.193 and 0.67 respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The RACHS-1 system did not adequately stratify risk in a low case load setting. The use of the RACHS-1 method as a benchmark to compare surgical results of paediatric cardiac surgery services in developing countries may be limited.

Click to View Abstract
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a significant cause of death amongst infants. The timing of treatment in relation to the natural history of the disease correlates with the treatment outcome. OBJECTIVES: To determine the age at first suspicion of CHD, the age at confirmation of the diagnosis of CHD and the percentage follow-up at the first post diagnosis out patient clinic and to determine the influence of patient's sex, parental income and parental education have on the MP. DESIGN: A five year retrospective study. SETTING: Kenyatta National Hospital between January 1st 2000 and December 31st 2004. SUBJECTS: Two hundred and fourteen patients were studied. RESULTS: The overall mean age at referral to a paediatric cardiologist was 16.9 +/- 24.4 months [n = 102]. The mean age at which CHD was confirmed by echocardiography was 18.6 +/- 25.6 months [n = 202]. The mean age at which CHD was first suspected in patients from the province with the highest parental income was 9.5 +/- 5.1 months [n = 6]. The mean age at which CHD was first suspected in patients from a province with a significantly lower parent income was 19.1 +/- 23.2 months [n = 22], (p = 0. 046). The mean age at which CHD was confirmed in referred male patients was 16.0 +/- 17.6 months [n=48] and the mean age at which CHD was confirmed in referred female patients was 18.8 +/- 21.7 months [n = 52] (p = 0.25). CONCLUSION: The mean age at referral to a paediatric cardiologist was 16.9 months. This suggests that a significant number of patients may miss the opportunity to have optimal surgical intervention. Parental income appears to influence the MP, however, the level of parental education and patient sex did not.
|Awori MN, Jani PG.Surgical Implications Of Abdominal Pain In Patients Presenting To The Kenyatta National Hospital Casualty Department With Abdominal Pain.East Afr Med J. 2005 Jun;82(6):307-10.
Click to View Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the local aetiological spectrum of surgically relevant causes of abdominal pain. DESIGN: A prospective descriptive study was carried out. SETTING: Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya during the month of October 2002. SUBJECTS: Patients aged 13 years and older presenting to the casualty department with abdominal pain were followed through the hospital system to determine whether they would undergo laparotomy and, in those cases who underwent laparotomy, to determine the nature of the pathology found at laparatomy. RESULTS: Abdominal pain was a presenting complaint in 1557 (16.7%) of patients presenting to the casualty department during the study period. Abdominal pain accounted for 17.9% (398 out of 2225 patients) of all admissions via the casualty department. Laparotomy was performed on 68 (4.4%) of patients who presented with abdominal pain to the casualty department. In female patients presenting with abdominal pain, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy and acute appendicitis was 65.3% and 16.3% respectively. The incidence of neoplasia found at laparatomy, for abdominal pain, on patients admitted to the general surgical ward was 3.0%. The incidence of neoplasia, as a cause of abdominal pain resulting in laparatomy was 3.3%. CONCLUSION: The results highlight the fact, with respects to abdominal pain, that there are significant differences between the disease patterns in different geographical locations. Assuming the converse could adversely affect the management of patients with abdominal pain locally.
|Surgical Aspects Of Live Donor Kidney Transplants In Kenya
Click to View Abstract
Review of twenty cases of live-donor kidney transplants in Kenya for a period of 5 years (1985-1989) and the follow up study results revealed that there were both high graft losses, high morbidity and mortality due to various complications pertaining to surgery and immunosuppression. The most serious complications were intercurrent infections, acute or chronic rejection, pulmonary embolism, steroid induced diabetes, pneumonia, and myocardial infarction. At the end of the first year follow up, there were only twelve graft patients alive. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was not available for assessing the anatomical and functional behaviour of the transplanted kidneys. This would have assisted in early diagnosis of the degree and onset of rejection for appropriate treatment before the death of the allografts. It would also assist in differentiating perfusional problems from rejection.

These four factors — Trust, Identity, Time and Chain of Custody aren't typically top of mind during the prototype phases of IoT projects. After all, a prototype is essentially a "proof of concept" to demonstrate that data can flow and that the "thing" works.... Read More

What Alterations Which Order
The amount of my narrow back adjustment is 5/8". In the back, the tuck is made from the shoulder to the waist and then the width at the side seam is returned. In the front, for a narrow chest adjustment, the tuck is made from the shoulder level to the bottom of the armhole. I'm not sure why that doesn't work in the back but it doesn't. I've tried it and ended up with a lot of excess fabric through the lower back.
The tuck needs to be made before the adjustment to the shoulder slope because it greatly affects the position of the armhole and the shape of the shoulder. Above, I've drawn the tuck lines from the shoulder to the waist on the back pattern piece.
When I make the tuck, it appears as if I've adjusted the shoulder slope as well. This is deceiving. If I were to draw a line from the original neck point to the original shoulder point, I would be lowering the shoulder point. If I were to extend the original cut line, I would be returning the shoulder slope to its original angle.
In my case, I want to raise the shoulder point by 1/4" so I measured up that amount from the shoulder point and redrew the line as illustrated. Because of the tuck, it looks as if the change was 1/2" and it's not. A good way to know if the adjustment has worked is if the underarm point has moved.
Taking the 5/8" tuck narrows the width of the back. The measurement above - from center back - is 7 1/4" and a teeny bit. My back shoulder width is 14 1/2" so this works. The width of the back and the slope of the shoulder are now correct.
I retraced the shape of the armhole from the new shoulder point. The armhole is now 1/4" higher and 5/8" closer in to the body. To return the original width...
... I add back the 5/8" creating a new underarm point. It was interesting to me that the net outcome of the two adjustments was to raise the underarm because at one time I was making a petite adjustment through the armhole and although that adjustment was wrong, this information confirms that I was at least thinking in the correct direction. The underarm needed to be higher. What I hadn't realized was that the shoulder point also needed to be higher.
Here is the final affect of the two adjustments on the armhole. The darker line is the new armhole shape. It was traced from the original pattern tissue. The lighter line is the original armhole. On the front, I'll make a similar 5/8" narrow chest adjustment and on the sleeve, I'll add 5/8" to each side seam. Because the shape of the armhole was maintained, the shape of the original sleeve cap (if drafted correctly) will be correct.
Wish me luck. Hopefully, it truly is only this one more muslin. I know I've said that in the past and have then been sucked into following up another thought. I don't want to do that. I think I've learned what I needed to learn and can move forward now. LOL - we'll see.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - Although I'm tired of working on this "puzzle", I'm grateful for all the learning and how it is clarifying and simplifying the adjustment and sewing process.
For the next few weeks, until we take her back, there'll be a Chloe picture at the bottom of each posting so my daughter and son-in-law can see how she's doing. This is her please, please, please do you have a treat for me look.

Hi Myrna, I think you are a little like me - you have to play around with concepts and figure out for yourself what to do. Books help, but there is nothing like immersion. Pat to Chloe.ReplyDeleteReplies
I do like to explore concepts and see how they come together... or not. I find as I play the stuff I've read about starts to click together and then ta da, I get it. Wrapping the 3D form takes a bit more effort than the text implies but... it's worth the work.Delete
Your husband sounds like mine. When I was fitting jeans a few years ago he told me that if I had been making "real" clothes I would have had a fantastic wardrobe. Unfortunately he was right and I still didn't have a jean pattern that I liked the fit of! I'm working on them again.ReplyDelete
One question-does it ever end???Replies
I don't believe it ever ends for curious minds. We get an idea and explore it and learn. Even when I say I'm not going to, I do because I just have to know. I'm okay with this. It keeps my mind active and that's good. When I first started back to fashion sewing it took a long time but now I find I get to answers quicker and quicker. I just finished the last muslin and it's near to perfect. There's some minor things that can be corrected on the paper and good and enough. YEAH. Pants next ! ! ! !Delete
I think the active mind is what I like best. It makes me stop and think about how to best do the alteration and what/why it fixes/works.Delete
My mind is always active and most of the time this is good. With this attempt to make a fitting shell, I've been doing a lot more thinking in my head before transferring it to the fabric and it has saved a LOT of frustration. The results I have now are quite good and they'll be fine tuned as I learn more. I love that. Adding to what we already know.Delete

My wife and I purchased a Signature Design by Ashley sofa and love seat a year and a half ago. Not only has the seam on the arm blown apart but the vinyl/plastic on the surface is pealing from the backing.
I've tried to get a response from Ashley for 4-5 months now to no avail. When we first bought the couch, we immediately had to have the recliner mechanism replaced on the couch after approximately one month of use.
About two or three months later, the mechanism on the love seat started dragging on the floor and that two was replaced.

I know the feeling. I just a review for.the same problem.
Just FYI the "Signature" line by them is the entry level stuff as I found out....they even sell it at warehouse stores like B-Lots. Perhaps they do not put as much "goodies" in the entry line as they do their upper line of stuff.
In my experience it reacted to your body sweat. I repair furniture for a living.

Comments about Remo Diplomat Snare Side Head:
The Diplomat Head is incredibly thin. Taking it out of the box, I thought I was removing a layer of cellophane covering the head, but no- that's actually the head itself. This is to be expected of a single ply reso head, but the Diplomat feels especially flimsy. I put the Diplomat on and cranked it up a little bit, with an Evans Genera Dry on top. It took awhile for the two to warm up to each other, but with a little fine tuning, that Diplomat Head really brings the top and bottom of your sound. I noticed a distinguished pop and crack I was getting out of the head, projecting more in the 'tang' range than in the 'bop', and my snares were practically singing. I know that Neil Peart of Rush was using the Diplomat for awhile, so that should be an indication of its quality. There's only one problem I've had with it: they blow out on occasion. I've gone through two of these in the past six months. I'm willing to deal with that though, because these heads are the only ones that deliver that specific crack that I love so much.
Comments about Remo Diplomat Snare Side Head:
Provides a brighter edge to your snare sound while not altering the tone from the Ambassador snare side. Favors light to moderate playing though as I've seen them bust under heavy use. That's right the bottom snare heads can break from playing the tops too hard... But if you're a light player, the Diplomat snare side head is a great choice
