There was not much of noise and on our side not much of happenings during the media noche (midnight before New Year). It is because there was some kind of drizzle during the time. We just had few grilled items set on the table as we hear some fire crackers popping here and there as well as some trumpets sounding (though unsure about the trumpet brands) in the neighborhood. It not with the rain there could be a lot of fireworks around the area just like how we have witnessed things as such during the last New Year. We were not able to push through the games that we have prepared for the night but I know it will be done in the next few days. What's good about it is that we still experience New Year which means another set of life's chances for everyone.
New Year
Welcoming 2014
This time is something different as we have celebrated new year in a new environment. We are now in our rented house within the compound owned by my husband's clan. Unlike the previous New Year we now have guests who shared fun with us. We have few firecrackers and fireworks which were tiny as if coming from the hole of these cmm plates. Instead of the usual pasta served, this time it is a Chinese noodles that me and my in-law prepared. We also had a few shots of hard drinks and beers as we welcome the year 2014. Here's wishing for God's blessing and guidance all throughout the year and the years after.
Christmas 2012
We may not have enough of food set on our table or even gifts under our Christmas Tree, at least we are together as one family during the Christmas eve. I think that's the true spirit of Christmas. What is important is that we were able to prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas 2012 is simple yet very memorable for us and so now we are looking forward to preparing for the New Year 2013 even for 2014 Chinese New Year. Every occasion is worth celebrating. Every memories of fun and laughter are worth to be kept and remembered. Happy Holidays everyone!

there is no autofocus in w700
and to lock the keypad first press * and then "menu" button
i had k700i. but i didn't like that. now i will buy w700i. i read the information about w700. i stand this.my mail is firstname.lastname@example.com
can any 1 please tell me what's d use of autofocus?
which 1 ,SE K750i or SE W700i has better sound quality? my email is : firstname.lastname@example.com
I am deciding on which phone to buy as an upgrade from my k300i. I have narrowed it down to 2 choices - the W700i and the K750i. I know what they are the same phone, with just difference in autofocus and walkman software and the bundle (memory card and headphones). Thing is, the K750i with the W700's headphones and a 512MB Card costs the same as a standard W700i, (with a larger 512MB card from the dealer). I want a good camera, but I also want a good MP3 player. Which one should I choose? I am indifferent to the looks of both phones/ Which one has teh more comfortable keypad, sturdier joystick, and can the songs be fast forwarded in both the K750i and W700i?
dear sir
i am from bilaspur. it is in chattisgarh( india). at the time of purchasing, it was said by the seller that the mobile( w700i) is being covered by EDGE TECHNOLOGY. It speedens up the net speed in set and even in pc attached to the set.

13 Small Wind Projects Proposed In Southeastern South Dakota
AVON, S.D. (AP) – A company that proposed a 201-megawatt wind farm near Avon last year has a new plan for 13 smaller projects in southeastern South Dakota.
Kristie Fiegen, chairwoman for the state Public Utilities Commission, tells the Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan reports that last month, the commission received paperwork Prevailing Winds filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regarding the new project.
She says the size of the projects in Bon Homme and Charles Mix counties range from 6.8 megawatts to 20 megawatts.
Fiegen says investors are seeking qualifying facility status under the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act, which gives small wind power production facilities the right to sell their power and mandates utilities to buy the power at a certain point.

THIS IS SO DELICIOUS! Inspired by the finale of Breaking Bad, I decided to make a chocolate cake with some blue sugar sprinkles. I followed a recipe from the Australian Gourmet Traveller – Chocolate book for a White Chocolate Mousse Cake – a dense chocolate cake filled with white chocolate mousse. It didn't work. I was impatient and didn't let the mousse set properly and it just fell apart. So I made this instead. This resulted in not so much as a nice chocolate cake with a cheeky bit of edible 'crystal meth' sprinkled on top, but a mountain covered in snow and ice.
(or crystal meth and cocaine… if we are sticking with that theme…) LET'S COOK!
Serves 8-10
Baking time: 1h15 @ 160c
Preparation/garnishing: 1h
Total time (not including chilling) 2h15
Total time: 3-4h
Ingredients (adapted from the Gourmet Traveller)
for the cake:
150g butter, chopped
150g dark chocolate (70%), chopped
220g caster sugar
200ml milk
150g self-raising flour
75g plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa
2 eggs
1 tbsp
1 tbsp runny honey (optional)
for the white chocolate mousse:
150g white chocolate
60g unsalted butter
1 egg, separated
200ml double cream
dash of vanilla extract
125g dark chocolate, chopped finely
for the ganache:
125g dark chocolate, chopped finely
100ml double cream
whatever you want, but I used blue candy crystals and icing sugar. Looks good plain too.
- Starting with the mousse, Bain-marie (heatproof bowl over hot water) the white chocolate and butter and remove from heat when melted.
- Cool slightly and mix in egg white, keep mixing until it is smooth, it will separate at first.
- In another bowl, whip cream until it forms firm peaks, fold into chocolate mix.
- In yet another bowl, whisk the egg white until just before it forms firm peaks and fold gently into the mix. Cover bowl in clingfilm and set in the fridge.
- In a pan, combine butter, chocolate, sugar and milk and stir on a low heat until the chocolate melts and sugar dissolves.
- If your pan isn't very big, transfer into a mixing bowl and
sift both flours and cocoa powder and mix well
- Add eggs one at a time and mix in thoroughly.
- Transfer to a greased and lined cake tin, I used about 20cm springform, and bake for 75 minutes.
- Remove cake and cool slightly before turning out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- Now, what I did was cut this in half, stick the mousse in, put the top back on and watch the last 2 hours of hard work fall apart in front of my eyes. You don't really need to do this. Go onto number 11.
- Tear the cake up into smallish pieces and push into a round bowl so that it takes that form, mixing in bits of mousse as you go (see image).
- Once all cake and mousse is used, turn bowl upside down on a jazzy plate and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
- To make the ganache, pour cream into a sauce pan and bring to the boil. Take off the heat as soon as it starts to make bubbles.
- Pour cream over broken up chocolate in a bowl and mix together until all the chocolate has melted. Cool slightly.
- Take the cake out of the fridge and, with the aid of a knife or a spatular, ease it out of the bowl.
- Cover in ganache and decorate!

This weekend marks the end of Francesco Totti's amazing career with Roma. Having made his debut back in 1992 he has spent his entire career with his hometown team and Sunday's meeting with Genoa has been long sold-out by fans who won't want to disk missing him saying goodbye.
For all that time he has been a true icon of both the club and the city, and whatever he decides to do next is being eagerly awaited.
All week, tributes have been pouring in from the likes of David Beckham and Paolo Maldini, but perhaps the most interesting tribute has come from a rather divisive figure.
During his playing career, there's no doubt that Adrian Mutu was a real top class striker, only he let himself down during his spell with Chelsea by getting sacked for testing positive for cocaine.
Luckily, he managed to pull his career back on track and spent most of his career in Italy. Juventus was his destination after leaving London, but having lasted just a season in Turin he moved to Fiorentina where things really began to heat up.
While in Florence, he scored an impressive total of 54 goals in 114 appearances, and it was that form that led Roma to take a serious interest in landing his signature.
And in his own tribute to Totti, the 38-year-old intimated that Totti once offered to pay Fiorentina €1million in order to convince him to head to the Italian capital.
"One of my idols is retiring," his post on Instagram read.
"One of the best No.10s in the world, who has influenced my childhood not only with his class, or with his style, but with his incredible goals.
"Francesco, it has been an honour playing against you.
"Watching — admiring — your skills.
"As a player, no one has anything negative to say and I'm sure it's the same as man.
"In fact, I will tell you a story which will always stay with me.
"Do you remember the summer when I was close to joining Roma?
"One day, Francesco called me and said: 'Adri, I will take a pay cut of €1m (£870,000) a-year and give it to Fiorentina so we can form an attacking partnership together. Do you want to come?'
"To be completely honest, I couldn't say no in that moment, how could I when Totti is saying something like that to me?"
Amazing! How many players would do that?
However, Mutu explains that his love of the Fiorentina fans and coach Cesare Prandelli's insistence that he would stand down if Mutu was sold convinced him to stay put.

Sat. Feb. 4 at 1pm on 90.5 FM WKAR Radio | Michael Mayer's hit production of Rigoletto places the action in a neon-bedecked Las Vegas in 1960.
Stephen Costello and Joseph Calleja alternate as the womanizing Duke, Olga Peretyatko is the innocent Gilda, and Željko Lučić reprises his heartbreaking take on the tragic title role. Pier Giorgio Morandi conducts.
A dramatic journey of undeniable force, Rigoletto was immensely popular from its premiere and remains fresh and powerful to this day. The story, based on a controversial play by Victor Hugo, tells of an outsider—a hunchbacked jester—who struggles to balance the dueling elements of beauty and evil that exist in his life. Written during the most fertile period of Verdi's artistic life, the opera resonates with a universality that is frequently called Shakespearean.

Our monetary system stopped using gold as the standard for U.S. currency in 1976. When President Nixon severed the formal ties between gold and the value of the dollar, he made gold a commodity investment. You may still hear people tell you to buy gold as a hedge against inflation. My own personal belief is that real estate is a better hedge against inflation than gold, and it can produce income, which is something gold cannot do. Also, depending on the manner in which you buy gold or other precious resources, you can get taken to the cleaners by the salespeople offering these investments. The markups are very high, and unless you're an expert, you can't be certain of the quality if you're buying gold directly.
Gold can be purchased any number of ways, including as a gift of a lovely gold ring or necklace. While you're certain to be fondly remembered for your gift, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you try to convince your spouse or significant other that it's time to sell the gold necklace for your retirement. However, you can also purchase gold in bullion form, gold coins, gold stocks, gold futures, or gold certificates.

It had an ending that you either loved or hated!
An interesting look into China's Cultural Revolution through the eyes of a man who lived it. Very nice writing, indented with subtle symbolism.
Reviewed: 6 Aug 2005
Two boys, both sons of doctors, are exiled to a remote Chinese village for re-education during the Cultural Revolution. Their salvation is a violin, a Balzac novel, and the beautiful daughter of a peasant tailor. Full of surprising twists, turns, and original characters, this magical novel would be a good choice for book groups.
great book for a look at China during the cultural revolution and life in the countryside, especially young people's lives.
'Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress' is a story of two young men sent from city to the Chinese countryside for 're-education' by Red Guards during Mao's infamous Cultural Revolution as their intellectual activities and foreign influences are perceived to be a threat to the communist regime. In their exile, they perform menial work and live in squalor however life is not too hard on them as they find repose in the stunningly beautiful surroundings of the Phoenix Mountain and take delight in teaching French literature to a local lass simply known as the little seamstress while trying to win her favours. The magic of books delivers a sense of freedom to the little seamstress as well as her grandfather in ways they had never thought possible.
Interesting tale of two teenage boys during the cultural revolution in China when they are sent out of the city into the mountains to learn how the peasants live.
This certainly is a "likable" little tale. It seems to stutter quite a bit, trying to decide what exactly it's trying to say. It might be a complaint against authoritarian regimes, but it can't decide whether the characters are free to do whatever they want whenever they want or whether they are hard done by prisoners of a totalitarian dictator. It might be a touching story of first love or a train wreck of misjudged affection and misplaced trust. It might be about sophistication triumphing over ignorance or art over provincialism, but it just as easily could be trying to say that fancy underwear and a better accent can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. Mercifully, it was short.
What made it less than memorable for me was the sparseness of the prose. Not mincing words can add incredible power to significant plot lines. I usually appreciate that a great deal. Not giving the reader enough information to fall in love with the characters, however, is a recipe for the reader not being engaged in the story. I had a hard time staying awake.

There are a number of key variances between weed wackers that you could know before shopping for one. A superb string trimmer shall be some of the necessary items of garden gear that you'll personal, so investing time to research will repay after you begin utilizing your trimmer.
The group of weed wackers that we're going to discuss first are fuel powered. These are the most typical kinds of weed eaters, being that almost all common sized property homeowners might need one, and probably all landscaping professionals may have an excellent gas powered one in their arsenal of equipment. Gasoline powered weed eaters, or string trimmers as they're additionally called, run on both a straight gas powered gas engine, or a mixture of fuel and oil. Gasoline powered string trimmers are knows for their energy and endurance so they are often one of the best decide for householders with massive lawns, as well as landscaping pro's. Because of their energy gasoline powered string trimmers can deal with some robust weeds and some heavy grassy areas the place their electric counterparts, which we'll get to in a few, might need some issues with. One other large advantage of the gas powered household, is that they are more cellular, that means that you may simply throw a gas operated string trimmer behind your truck or automobile trunk, with a can of gas in case you want it, and not fear about a cords size, like with the electric string trimmers, or constant battery expenses like you would with a battery operated string trimmer. And lastly a gasoline powered string trimmer could be a versatile piece of apparatus, can be used on all lawns both large and small.
Now within the gas powered weed wacker household you will see that they arrive in two completely different types. The two-cycle weed eater and the 4-cycle weed eater. That is the distinction in the kind of engine, different often called a 2 stroke or a four stroke engine. The two-cycle engine is the most typical engine for weed eaters, and requires a mix of oil and fuel for fuel. This generally is a comfort or a problem nevertheless you have a look at it. The 4-cycle weed eater, runs on straight gas like a lawnmower, but will need to have the oil changed as an alternative of using a mix. 2-cycle weed eaters are generally lighter than four-cycle ones, which can make a giant distinction if you're not use to doing in depth lawn care, or utilizing heavy energy equipment. One other key difference between the 2 is that a 4-cycle weed eater is friendlier to the surroundings letting out fewer emissions.
Okay – Now we have the gas powered weed wacker covered. We all know the differences between a 2-cycle and four-cycle. However we've solely looked at half of what is out there. The second group of weed eaters that we are going to take a look at is electrical weed eaters. Electrical weed eaters may be either battery operated, or include a cord attached. Let's first speak in regards to the ones with the cords. Electric weed eaters (with cords), are usually the cheapest of all weed eaters on the marker. For good motive although, because they're first solely sturdy enough to handle easy weed whacking jobs, and are solely good for close vary weed whacking (from your home or electrical power supply). Yes some individuals might need electric retailers throughout their yard, but if your yard is that massive, than I'd shy away from electrical weed whackers primarily do the lack of force needed to maintain a big yard. Than moreover the value what else makes an electrical weed whacker worth it? Effectively two most important reasons.
1st the weight of an electrical weed whacker is feather gentle so you may simply use it without worrying about arm sores, or back aches. 2nd it makes lots less noise than a fuel operated weed whacker so you can weed whack at night or early morning with out bothering the neighbors.
Now we touched on electrical weed whackers with cords, and we hit the gasoline powered string trimmers as well, now combine the mobility of a gasoline powered weed eater, with the price of an electrical weed whacker and you've got – "the battery operated weed wacker!" Okay, ok it isn't as spectacular as I made it sound, but it surely actually is an efficient resolution for a mix between the two. It nonetheless is electric powered, so the battery operated weed wacker doesn't have the facility and bruit drive of a fuel powered unit. But, it's a whole lot better than the electrical with cords since you may go around your yard cordless. The battery operated weed wacker will usually come with a charger and common batteries run between a half hour to an hour, before it is advisable swap batteries and recharge. They're good for a mean dimension yard, and share the profit for being mild weight and not noisy. Electrical weed eaters are additionally extra environmentally friendly not giving off as much pollution within the air.

This month marks 3 years that we have lived overseas! It's been such an incredible journey, so I want to take some time to reflect on these 3 years.
Before we moved overseas, I had literally never ever ever ever wanted to move away from America. I love America so much, it's comfortable and familiar, plus all of my family and a lot of my friends live there.
But when the Father invites you to do something, even something that you don't want to do, from my experience, you should just do it.
Of course I could have chosen not to come, God does give us free will after all…but then I would have lost out on so many wonderful things that He wanted to do in our lives. I would have missed out the privilege of living in a gorgeous country with beautiful people that Jesus loves so deeply.
When I told a dear friend, who has spoken so profoundly into my life at many pivotal points of my life, that we were moving, she texted me back this one sentence that has echoed in my mind these 3 years.
"You will grow more in 2 years than you have not in 20."
When things have been lonely or difficult here, I have thought of her words.
When there were times that I would read disheartening news that would cause me to be overwhelmed with fear and I wanted to give up and pack our bags, I would hear her words.
I had so much fear about moving the 7 of us here. There were so many unknowns about the move and I was just straight up scared and anxious. I often repeated this John Wayne quote to myself that a friend told me once,
"Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway."
I don't know anything about John Wayne, but this quote still gives me chills.
As I have grown older (I am pushing 40 folks!), I realize that I let fears waste so many years of my life. Moving here has honestly forced me to deal with it. Even when I didn't want to, I have had to over and over again offer myself and my family up to the Lord….and that is the best thing I can do anyway!
I am so grateful for the freedom we can have in Christ if we are just willing to let go and offer our fears to Him. He can and wants to use us so powerfully, if we don't let fear rule our lives and decisions.
In these 3 years, in my very apparent weakness, I can truly say that He has been my strength.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I am pondering this beautiful verse today. God does indeed know the plans He has for me and my family, and they are so good! His plan is to prosper us, not to bring us harm…letting go of MY plans for our lives and clinging on to HIS plans for our lives has truly been one of the most rewarding things of my life.
So I want to ask some questions to each of my readers…
Is there anything that God is inviting you to do today that seems too big or too scary for you to follow through on? Are there doors that He is opening that you want to slam shut and run the other way because of fear?
I love this picture I posted a few weeks ago…Doesn't it look like a beautiful yet mysterious doorway in which you have to walk on water in order to enter? In the Bible, I think it took a lot of courage for Peter to walk on water. And even when he began to sink, Jesus was there to lift him up.
These 3 years have helped me learn that God is truly the most loving, kind, patient and compassionate Father. I am so thankful for His leadership in my life…even if it means stepping out into unknown places.
This is a photo of some of us at the airport when we first moved here with our 13 suitcases, plus our backpacks! I love my family! I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and 5 awesome kiddos😍.

Imagine three Nissan Leafs (one red, one white, and one blue), and a couple of converted Toyota Yarises (one with a splashy Monavie ad), all caravanning 290 miles from Portland to John Day, OR. We were taking our electric vehicles (EVs) to SolWest, a yearly enduring renewable energy and sustainability fair, to show them off at the three day event.
The Oregon Electric Vehicle Association (OEVA), offered me a carpool since I'd given up owning an automobile in December 2011. Besides, I wanted to learn more about these EVs. The OEVA, which advocates for electric vehicle use in Oregon, was well represented with engineers, an equipment dealer, and a DIY car converter, all jazzed to share the fun and driving puzzles of the trip. A puzzle it was, too, since we pass no fast charging stations in eastern Oregon.
The Nissan Leaf has a range of about 100 miles, where the Yaris can go about 40 miles more, so deciding how and when to stop for the five vehicles was an exercise in flexibility. After topping off on Electric Avenue (a.k.a. Portland State University's fast charging station in downtown Portland), OEVA picked me up in and we headed east.
First fueling stop was Cascade Locks where I learned that RV parks generally have 240 Volt outlets, the equivalent of a Level 2 charging station, which can recharge a Leaf zero to full in about six hours. A few leisurely hours there included a look at an EV "tool kit" consisting of several plug-in adapters and related tools.
After Cascade Locks, we stopped briefly in Hood River to check out the new Level 2 charger, but it was not yet operational. Apparently there is also a DC Quick Charger (Level 3) in Hood River which charges to 80% in one half hour. We'll have to look for it on another trip. Onward to Dufur.
We made it to the RV park in Dufur, but encountered circuit breaker problems which we overcame by rearranging the vehicles. We dined in
a local restaurant, buying and browsing the local store and paid the RV park manager $5 apiece for our share of the power used.
Condon was our next destination for a charging stop, so we mostly coasted down from Dufur to I-84 topping off the already almost full batteries. Then some unexpected excitement, for as we headed east to Biggs, we passed by the flames of a large brush fire across the river. At Biggs we turned south, and climbed up on the plateau dotted red with wind turbine lights. The instrument panel showed our available range starting to drop. With our hill-climbing, we'd dropped to five miles of range left, so we slowed our speed from the 55 mile speed limit to 35-39 miles per hour to gain a few extra miles. I wondered what we'd do if we ran out of juice.
At midnight, with all the gas stations closed, three Leafs took turns plugging into the 240 and 110 volt sockets available at Grey and Sun, a green building and solar store. A neat sign posted there read, "Honor System, Charging $.50 per kW". We dutifully paid $7 for 14 kW that would get us the 20 miles to Fossil , and at 1 am we departed.
Arriving in Fossil around 1:40 am we pulled into In the Sticks Juniper Saw Mill, to recharge. The Yarises, with their longer range, had already arrived and were charging from the mill's two outlets. We rearranged vehicles, and at 2 am, I put up my tent and went to sleep. I barely heard the car motors as they rearranged again, maximizing the plug configuration to fuel the cars simultaneously.
Six hours later we gathered for breakfast, with one Leaf driving into town as our EV ambassador, while the rest of us walked. We had a great breakfast at the Timber Wolf Café. Leaving Fossil, we made our way along the John Day River past the layered sandstone walls of the John Day Fossil beds.
We stopped in Dayville to charge at a large garage of a SolWest friend, went to lunch, and bought stamps at the local post office.
Thirty-two hours after we left Portland, most of us made it to John Day and on time. One converted Yaris missed, as it had no range indicator and ran out of charge. He arrived later. We were also joined by an EV coming from Bend and an e-Veepster. In the end we measured about 67 kW for a Leaf to travel one-way (290 miles).
I'll enjoy the memory of this trip, especially as I am sure this picture will change as more DC quick chargers and other Level 3 charging stations are deployed.
Up from two EVs last year, OEVA is working towards the day when EVs will come from all parts to join at SolWest, demonstrating the practicality of EVs in beautiful, remote, and spacious Eastern Oregon.

Local charities win big from Ring of Beara Cycle Kenmare 2017
The Ring of Beara Cycle Committee this week presented cheques to two local charities who are benefitting from this year's event. Volunteers who helped organise and run the event were also praised for their commitment and community spirit.
Castletownbere Community Hospital and Southwest Counselling Centre were on hand to receive their donations totalling more €35,000 from the Ring of Beara Organising Committee in Kenmare on Tuesday.
The Ring of Beara Cycle took place on Saturday 27th of May when the people of Kenmare and the Beara Peninsula welcomed more than 4000 cyclists from all over Ireland and the globe for the popular event. Staff and management of Castletownbere Community Hospital have celebrated the good news alongside residents and service users.
Castletownbere Community Hospital serves the entire Beara peninsula including Bere Island and Dursey Island. The hospital received €25,000 from the cycle which will help them deliver their vital community services including palliative care, long stay, respite and community support.
Cathy Sheehan, A/Matron, Castletownbere Community Hospital, said, "We are delighted to be chosen as a charity recipient for this year's Ring of Beara Cycle. It's such a popular, exciting event, it has been a great experience being part of it. The money raised by the cycle will be a great help to the hospital and our staff and residents alike are extremely grateful already. I'd like to congratulate all involved, particularly the volunteers who give up their time, and thank everyone for this significant donation."
Lindsay Fredman, CEO of SouthWest Counselling Centre, who received a €10,000 donation, said "These much-appreciated funds will help us to continue to serve the communities and people of the Beara region. We can provide low cost counselling, training and workshops to meet the mental health needs of people across the lifespan. We want to acknowledge the effort of all those who took part and thank the Committee for choosing to support us once again this year."
Darren Lynch, Member of the Ring of Beara Cycle organising committee said, "I would like to thank all the volunteers without whom this event would not be possible. Because of their hard work along with the cyclists we are very pleased to be in a position to make a difference to local charities. Castletownbere Community Hospital provide such a vital service to the local community here in West Cork. Southwest Counselling have been involved with the event for a number of years now and it's great that we can support them in their invaluable work. We are all looking forward to next year's event already."

Makira Island in the Solomon Islands has a population of over 41,000 people, which in 2013 was serviced by one doctor, who worked in the hospital and traveled to remote sites, supported by highly skilled nursing staff. The capital Kira Kira is a very impoverished community with no formal governance structure, poor infrastructure and a large variety of public health issues that lead to fascinating medicine.
Summary of Work:
In 2013 Bond University's School of Medicine in Australia commenced 5th year medical student placements at Kira Kira Hospital, with 33 students participating. At times there was little if no direct medical supervision of the students by a medical practitioner.
Summary of Results:
As a result of this an interesting model of 'peer supervision and mentoring' developed whereby the students worked in pairs and consulted and learnt together, checking in with their nursing colleagues at regular intervals.
Discussion and Conclusions:
These placements were evaluated in the later part of the year. This paper will present the findings of the evaluation and the peer mentoring and supervision model that emerged.
Take-home messages:
An innovative peer mentoring model of distance supervision has been developed in a third world country.

WASHINGTON -- President Reagan angrily denounced reports Wednesday that his wife, Nancy, led the struggle to depose Donald Regan as White House chief of staff, calling the stories ``despicable fiction.``
The Reagans later celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary Wednesday. To mark the occasion, they planned a small dinner with their daughter Maureen several hours before his speech to the nation on the Iran arms scandal.
Earlier, during a photo session in the Oval Office with newly appointed CIA Director William Webster, a reporter asked Reagan: ``What is Mrs. Reagan`s role in running the government?``
``Not the one that has been bandied about in the press,`` he shot back. ``That is fiction and I think it is despicable fiction. And a lot of people ought to be ashamed of themselves.``
Reagan said his wife was ``obviously`` hurt, ``yes, of course,`` by a number of editorial columnists who have harshly attacked the first lady in print recently for backstage maneuvering to force the unpopular Regan out of office.
Mrs. Reagan has not commented personally on the charges, but her press secretary, Elaine Crispen, has indicated that the first lady is disturbed that she has been portrayed as the ``heavy`` in the Regan demise.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said, ``The president, as a husband, is naturally concerned about anything that`s critical of his wife, as first lady.``
Reagan said reporters had ``touched a nerve`` in asking about the spate of recent reports concerning the first lady.
He expressed his resentment over ``the idea that she`s involved in governmental decisions and so forth and all of this and being a kind of a dragon lady. There is nothing to that and no one who knows`` her would believe it.

As Christians, we can (and should) disagree well.
Well, the debate about taking a knee just took an odd turn.
On Sunday, after players at an Indianapolis Colts home game chose to kneel during the national anthem, Vice President Mike Pence decided to walk out of the game. On social media, President Trump signaled that, perhaps, this was a planned walkout designed to rebuke the players for their protest.
And so our country goes further into the rabbit hole of a debate over patriotism.
And we go further down the rabbit hole of missing the whole point of why Colin Kaepernick took a knee in the first place.
I find the vice president's actions and the president's tweets to be unhelpful. As two of our highest ranking leaders, their actions and words speak volumes about where their priorities lie. Is this issue about the flag? Or is it about something deeper?
In my initial article I criticized the protests as unhelpful, but that was not my main point.
My focus was that, as Christians, we are going to be on the other side of popular speech and we need to be consistent in our application of this right. We need to "do onto others" by respecting their freedom of speech because this is a right we should value, protect, and rely upon as Christians.
This walkout—in addition to comments by Dallas Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones about benching players who protested—was not about resolving disagreement. Instead, it was the all-or-nothing approach to conflict that has come to dominate our culture. In a moment when he could have modeled how to disagree well, Vice President Pence chose to use the anthem in his political gamesmanship in a way that belittled the seriousness of the conversation.
And let's not forget this is a very serious conversation. Men and …

Butterflies can be manipulated through temperature. They can't fly if the ambient temperature is below 55 degrees, and this means that they can be placed on a flower or leaf at your discretion when they are cold and then, when it warms up, they will spread their wings and fly away – after you've taken their picture.
I caught this eastern tiger swallowtail in Michigan with a butterfly net, and then I put it in an envelope to keep the wings protected (the delicate wings can easily chip or break if the insect flaps them wildly, trying to escape). The envelope was put in a Tupperware container that, in turn, was put in a refrigerator overnight. In the early morning, I placed the chilled butterfly on the Indian paintbrush flower and caught sunrise lighting backlighting the beautiful setup. After I got my shots, the butterfly's wing muscles warmed up and he flew away.
In photographing this, I made sure that the back of my camera was parallel with the plane of the insect's wings. This ensured maximum depth of field. I used a tripod, of course, because macro photography without one is a pointless endeavor. You must have a firm support or else you can't control the amount of depth of field in the image.

Trivia Quiz #13
This month's theme: Time Travel. Park your Time Cubes and Time Bubbles and gather 'round the Time Beacon, it's trivia time!
1. Supergirl was just elected Legion leader (in a shady vote). What happened the last time a Kryptonian was elected leader?
2. The "Lightning Saga" Legion recently came to the 21st century. Of course, that's not the first time that Legionnaires visited the past. But by my count, only 7 of the "traditional" Legionnaires (no retcons, no villains, etc.) never visited the 20th century during the ADVENTURE era (where Timber Wolf and Chemical King were the last to join). Which ones?
3. Not everyone traveled back in time – some went forward. From what time periods did all members of the Legion of Super-Pets travel from?
4. The Legion has fought a number of villains with 20th century roots, but which villain(s) survived from the 20th/21st century to the 30th/31st to fight the Legion, rather than traveled through time?
5. Who implanted a post-hypnotic suggestion in Superboy's mind so that when he went back to the 20th century, he'd forget anything he'd learned about his future while he was in the 30th century?
6. Back in the days when new applicants had to perform a task, what was Ultra Boy tasked to do? There are two answers to this, pre-Crisis and Glorithverse.
7. Their encounter with Lori Morning was not the first time the Legion had had to deal with the H-Dial. When was the first?
8. In Adventure 247, when the Legion traveled back in time to recruit/tease Superboy, how did the powers of each of the three Legionnaires manifest themselves?

Feasibility worries keep proposed Dwarka-Gurgaon metro link on hold
The yellow line has just five stations in the city and with a daily ridership of over one lakh in Gurgaon, the need for a second metro line and expansion of the existing network is immediategurgaon Updated: Mar 13, 2016 23:31 IST
The proposed Dwarka-Gurgaon metro link, which has been in a limbo for over three years, is likely to be delayed further.
Dissatisfied with three earlier detailed project reports (DPRs), the Haryana Mass
Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has asked the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to draft a fresh feasibility report.
The three proposals — to extend the Airport Metro and the alignment of two other routes — were junked by the state citing lack of viability.
Although senior Haryana government officials maintain that the delay is owing to feasibility issues, there are apprehensions that political differences and commercial interests could be the real reasons behind the hold-up.
Sources said the state plans to fund the entire project --- estimated to cost around `5,000 crore --- and this is the reason why the government is hesitant in making a call.
Although the Delhi Metro's yellow line has played an important role in connecting Gurgaon with Delhi, the metro service only barely addresses the requirement. The yellow line has just five stations in the city and with a daily ridership of over one lakh in Gurgaon, the need for a second metro line and expansion of the existing network is immediate.
Though Rapid Metro is extending its network, it is more focused on serving private colonies, IT and corporate firms.
In March 2015, Union minister of state for planning (independent charge) and Gurgaon MP Rao Inderjit Singh had written to Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar about the metro extension. The minister requested the CM to extend the metro service to Old Gurgaon and also connect Gurgaon with Dwarka as soon as possible.
Given the high density development in Dwarka and Gurgaon, there is a huge potential for induced demand.
A study by School of Planning and Architecture led by Prof Sewa Ram estimated that the line will see nearly 11,000 trips per hour during peak hours. About 65% of these trips will be headed to Udyog Vihar, Palam Vihar, DLF City Phase 3, Sikanderpur and Kapashera in Gurgaon.
Emphasising the need for the metro link, Prof Sewa Ram said two alignments were found feasible as per engineering requirements and commuter needs. While one will help in boosting connectivity along Kapashera, Udyog Vihar and Cyber City, the other alignment till Iffco Chowk will provide metro continuity throughout Gurgaon.
"Instead of dilly dallying, the Haryana government should decide quickly," he said.
However, the Haryana government is in a bind as to which will be the most feasible, profitable and politically beneficial route.
Gurgaon MLA Umesh Agarwal said the new metro line is a priority of Haryana government. "As it is a large project, it is taking time to finalise. I can assure the city that major decisions will be taken within the next six months," he said.
Additional chief secretary of Town and Country Planning department P Raghavendra Rao also assured that a decision will be taken soon.
"We have completed all deliberations and studied the project in detail. The major issue was feasibility – whether there will be adequate ridership on the line. We want maximum people to benefit from the metro line and a decision is on the cards. The CM is most likely to take a call on the project soon," he said.
Rao added that the government is likely to convene a meeting of all stakeholders, including the DMRC, to clear the decks.

I have a history with migraines been since, 2000, in the beginning my primary doctor put me on Apap/Butalbital/Caffeine - I called them caffeine pills, they worked for a while. I learned that too much of the caffeine it caused rebound headaches. I'm a coffee drinker, so I limit the amount of coffee I drink.
What is different this time? For a while the beta-blocker medication worked for the past 2-3 years, I had the headaches under control I'd have a attack every once and a while. But this time, the pain is located in three places: on top of my head, back of my head towards my left side, and on the seaide of my head located on the left side area. Can that be considered a "brain attcks?" What can be done?
I'm currently taking Inderal 40 mg twice a day daily. I was wondering if there is somebody that can relate to my situation? I would appreciate it very much.

The first time I really paid any attention to the band was earlier in the year when at a music seminar with Geoff Travis of Rough trade (the man who signed The Smiths, The Fall, The Strokes amongst others) Geoff was asked by a member of the crowd which bands were exciting him at the minute, to which he responded by singing the praises of The Strange Boys. So the investigation began. Mark a friend of mine gave me a promo copy of the bands debut album 'The Strange Boys and Girls Club' (on the ever reliable IN THE RED label) and informed me that he was trying to book the band for a Newcastle date. Excited I put the album on the stereo and was instantly disappointed by the rather average indie jangle that came from the speakers. The weird thing is that's its only the first track that is not outstanding - bizarrely the rest of the record is a wonderful collection of authentic nuggets style garage racket crossed with heartwarming bitter sweet and soulful guitar pop of the finest calibre. It's a grower and it really gets under the skin, I cant recommend this record enough. Elements I've fallen in love with include The Brian Jones style early Rolling Stones R&B guitar sounds, the schitzo vocals that veer from insanity to beauty, and the raw naked songs themselves.
Many people on initial listen have told me they think the band are a sub standard Black lips, yet the very same people have come back weeks later and said they were wrong and they now prefer The Strange Boys to the Black lips since the songs start to grow in beauty and brilliance with each repeat play.
I cant get enough of this record.

On March 27, the New York Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that under a "pro rata time on the risk allocation," insurers are not liable for years outside their policy periods when there was no insurance available to the insured in the marketplace. See KeySpan Gas East Corp. v. Munich Re. Am., Inc., 2018 N.Y. Slip Op. 02116 (N.Y. Mar. 27, 2018). The decision is a significant victory for insurers faced with long-tail environmental claims, and may also lend support to ... Keep Reading »
In Indiana, an Absolute Pollution Exclusion May Exclude Absolutely Nothing
A recent article in the Sports section of The Miami Herald read "Shooting coach helps Winslow." Perhaps, but it probably didn't help the coach much. The admonition to "eat every carrot and pea on your plate" undoubtedly elicits laughs from the children to whom it is directed. The point is, some things are unambiguously ambiguous. Others are not. Consider these basic principles of Indiana contract interpretation: Limitations on coverage in insurance policies must ... Keep Reading »
For Excess Liability Insurers, Consent-to-Settle Clauses Still Count
When a liability insurer defends its insured under a reservation, recent decisions limit the insurer's right to enforce a policy's consent-to-settle clause. But can the reservation affect the rights of an excess carrier? And does it matter if the carrier declines to participate in an upcoming mediation? Last month, in The Doe Run Resources Corp. v. The Fidelity & Cas. Co. of N.Y., G050689 (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 1, 2016), a California appellate court (applying Missouri ... Keep Reading »
Down in the Dumps: Court Refuses to Apply Pollution Exclusion in Landfill Seepage Case
Claims involving potential coverage for pollution liability pose unique challenges for insurers. In many cases, the polluting activity occurred decades ago and over a large span of time, with only a fraction of the activity occurring during the policy period. As a result, an issue in pollution liability cases is whether an insurer is obligated to indemnify an insured for the entire amount of damages resulting from pollution, or whether an insurer's obligation may be ...

"Voluntary" ≠ "Obligatory": Good Deeds Do Not Trigger Coverage
Liability policies typically provide coverage for amounts the insured "become[s] legally obligated to pay"—but they leave open the question of how that obligation should be determined. Judgments and settlements clearly create "legal obligations." Sometimes, a statute can, too: several courts require insurers to pay for remediation efforts mandated by environmental laws, even if government authorities have not yet ordered any action at the polluted site. But the ... Keep Reading »
McCarran-Ferguson vs. the FAA: Judge Posner Declares TKO in Favor of Arbitration
In a bout before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, two heavyweight federal statutes squared off, with coverage for hundreds of long-tail, asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits on the line. In one corner: the Federal Arbitration Act, enacted by Congress to overcome federal courts' erstwhile reluctance to enforce arbitration agreements. In the other corner: the McCarran-Ferguson Act, created to curb those courts' over-reach into insurance regulation ... Keep Reading »
My Advice? Pay Me!
Shopping for insurance can raise hard questions: How much coverage do I need? What types of risk should be covered? What must I do to get the maximum benefits allowed?

In many contexts, courts have shown a good deal of indulgence for ... Keep Reading »
If the Suit Fits: A Washington Court Clarifies Triggers for the Duty to Defend
Like many other federal and state environmental laws, Washington's Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) exposes property owners to strict liability, regardless of fault or intent, for certain types of environmental contamination. Twenty years ago, in Weyerhaeuser Co. v. Aetna Cas. & Surety Co., 874 P.2d 142 (Wash. 1994), the Supreme Court of Washington held that a property owner's efforts to remediate polluted sites triggers a liability insurer's duty to indemnify the ...

Too Much of a Good Thing: Household Product Triggers Pollution Exclusion, Because "Quantity Matters"
Pollution exclusion clauses began appearing in commercial general liability policies when federal laws began making businesses liable for the cost of massive environmental clean-ups—like the remediation of "Volatile Organic Compounds" that was recently at issue in Chubb Custom Ins. Co. v. Space Systems/Loral, Inc., No. 11-16272 (9th Cir. March 15, 2013). A recent Colorado case presented the issue of when the grease that goes into your bacon double cheeseburger becomes a ...

Excess Policy Covers Liability for Occurrence Continuing After the Policy Period Ends
The Second Circuit has held that property damage occurring after the term of an excess liability policy may be included in the calculation of whether damages from a single occurrence reach the policy's attachment point. In Olin Corp. v. American Home Assurance Co., 11-4055-cv (2d Cir. Dec. 19, 2012), an insured manufacturer of industrial chemicals filed suit against its excess liability insurers, claiming they owed a duty to indemnify it for its costs of remediating ...
