In a few days, Disney will debut the live-action remake of their classic 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast, and with it, their first officially gay character in the form of LeFou played by Josh Gad (Frozen). Though it is yet to be seen exactly how LeFou is portrayed in the upcoming film, most people were delighted at Disney's small effort to support representation for LGBT characters in film…but not everyone. Just last week, a drive-in movie theater in Alabama declared its intention to ban Beauty and the Beast for the inclusion of this character, stating, "We will not compromise on what the bible teaches," Pretty harsh, though not unexpected, and I doubt Disney is weeping over one theater in a small Alabama town.
That is, until Russia began mulling over whether they should do the same, only this time, banning it from their entire country! That's quite an extreme move, even from a nation known for being extremely homophobic. This exclusion was mainly spurred on by Vitaly Milonov, a notorious Russian lawmaker who has spent much of his career railing against gay rights, who called the film "overt and shameless propaganda of sin and sexual perversion under the guise of a fairy tale." But in the end, even the Russian government saw the error of its ways, so they benevolently came up with a compromise! Instead of banning the film outright, they will allow it in their theaters, but it will be given a 16+ rating, which is, more or less, Russia's equivalent of an "Adults Only" rating (.…wait, what?).
Technically, the film could very easily be classified as propaganda under a law enacted in 2013 designed to prevent children from being exposed to "gay propaganda", which gives Russia leeway to do this, however unfortunate it may be. We also have to remember that although we in the U.S. have made much progress towards equality for people of different sexual orientations, not every nation on Earth is as down with the cause as we are. In fact, there are many places where you can still be legally executed and/or imprisoned for being gay (Uganda, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, etc.). This is just a reminder of how far we have left to go to bring further tolerance and acceptance to the LGBT community worldwide. So on that depressing note, be sure to enjoy Beauty and the Beast when it hits U.S. theaters on March 17th!

Heatsink complications leading to PC overheat
I have been experiencing a series of problems with my PC. Two days ago, It was crashing to blue screens every 5 seconds and the fun was making strange loud noise. I opened the casing and did a thorough cleaning, the heat sink and the processor, which covered by most of the dust. The blue screen problem was solved. I then installed a new fun, Rose will cooler "max 3.4 GHz, but the fun still made the same noise and it would refuse to boot.
Yesterday, i found out that the fun on the heat sink was dead. To prevent the overheating, i had to change the computers performance to " power saver mode". It would then record a temperature reading of about 60°C on Asus' thermal monitor. On Real Temp's monitor , it recorded a reading of about 50°C The temperature readings are constant, and do not depend on the number of programs being run or the task being carried out.
From what i know, excessive heat for computers is not recommended and may lead to serious system's components damage, so i rarely use the computer. Right now i have no option of replacing the motherboard it could be the problem. Could the power system be the problem? Or the CPU connector to the fun? Any ideas of what could be the problem? I need your help guys!

Obituaries in the News
The Associated Press
Oct. 12, 2002
%mlink(STRY:; PHOTO:; AUDIO:%)
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Keith Uncapher, a computer pioneer at the University of Southern California who was a key player in the development of the Internet, died Thursday of a heart attack, the university announced. He was 80.
Uncapher founded the Information Sciences Institute at USC's school of engineering in 1972.
Under his tenure as executive director, ISI researchers worked on the development of the Internet's system of domain names that includes ``.com'' ``.net,'' ``.org'' and other addresses.
Before forming ISI with a staff of three, Uncapher worked for RAND Corporation in Santa Monica. He was director of RAND's computer science division, where he led a project on ``packet switching'' technology, which breaks down digital messages into parts and sends them over a network to be reassembled at their destination.
Born in Denver on April 1, 1922, Uncapher graduated with an electrical engineering degree from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, and served for four years in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1998.

The philosopher Descartes believed that he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking.
Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering and of continuous conflict within and without, but also the end of the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. What an incredible liberation this is!

1. Cleansing - This is my all time favourite cleanser that I always tend to come back to no matter what and specially in summer because my skin reacts and I break out. The Clarins Cleansing Milk always calms my skin down and keeps it under control. I am using the one suitable for combination to oily skin. It is a cleansing milk that is very light and gentle on the skin. My face feels super clean when ever I use it. I definitely recommend this a 100% for anyone with troubled skin. I use a muslin cloth soaked in warm water to remove the cleanser that way it kind of like an exfoliate as well.
2. Toner - At the moment I am using the Clinique Clarifying Lotion as my toner. I have poured it into anther bottle with a dispense pump as this makes it much easier to use it. It does have alcohol so if you don't mind that then you will like it if not it is a bit strong. I use it when I feel that my skin is about to break out and then it kind of calms it down. I recently figured this out so I kind of have been enjoying use it. I have done a full review HERE
3. Eye Cream - I have been loving eye creams and always use it as I have noticed a big difference after I have added it to my routine. At the moment I have been using the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Roll On. its easy to use and does help with tired eyes and dark circles. There is a review if you like HERE with all the details. It is a light weight gel type eye cream that reduced dark circles and brightens the eye area if you haven't got a good nights sleep.
4. Serum - As I have a few spots I have switched to a serum that helps to reduce dark spots and even the skin out. I am using the L'oreal White Perfect Laser Essence. I have a full review if you like to read it HERE. It is a light weight non sticky serum that gets absorbed quite fast into the skin. I have noticed a difference in my skin where the dark spots have gotten lighter and my complexion also has gotten lighter. Its a nice addition to my routine that I have been enjoying and if you have spots then give this a try.
5. Moisturizer - I have been using two types of moisturizers. The first is the L'oreal Hydra Fresh, My full review is HERE and the other one is the Avene Cleanance K Cream Gel. The L'oreal Hydra Fresh is awesome for oily skin, it will keep it matte for around 6 hours with an issue. It is light weight and has a cooling effect on the skin when you apply it I love using it when I have to go out on hot days. The Avene Cleanance K is an exfoliating Cream that you need to use once a day. It is light weight and doesn't feel greasy. It doesn't however keep the skin matte for as long as the L'oreal one but a good choice to use maybe once or twice a week.
6. Micellar Water - I use this if feel my skin is feeling a bit oilier that day after I have gotten out of the shower before applying my toner. I feel that it does help a bit to keep the greasiness at bay a bit longer. I also use it to remove my makeup before using my cleanser that you kind of get a double cleansing. It is a good alternative as well if you run out of your regular cleanser. I did a full review that you can read HERE
So that is my new skincare routine that I have been adhering to when the weather gets warmer. I prefer light weight products that help to keep my skin under control and stop it from breaking out in summer. Most of the time I tend to use the Clarins cleanser throughout the year but switch all the products up a bit s my skin will look more matte and less oily.
Do you switch products for each season or do you stick the same throughout the year? Let me know what you think in the comment box below.

Since testosterone is a champion among the most exceptional and most secure anabolic steroid out there, more individuals are slanted to keep running with a test-based cycle rather than dealing with a multi-calm stack. In all likelihood you found out about it also and once you are here you have to consider the best way to deal with run a two months testosterone cycle for accomplishing most prominent effects. Fortunately for you, we won't simply reveal the all-around requested strategy for cycling test, yet also clear up the clarifications for this decision and give your important recommendations that won't simply save your chance yet furthermore money.
Testosterone Rotexmedica
While taking test for a period longer than two months may yield more significant results, you would stop this idea if safeness is your essential concern. Moreover, if you are not a contender and you are cycling steroids just to expand your execution – going past this point of confinement is not sensible. On the inverse side, taking test alone for a month and a half is as of late too less to expect discernible improvement in your mass. What could be more repulsive than this is the probability that most by far of the increases would be gone once the cycle is stopped. This is in light of the fact that your body won't have been adequately offered time to change in accordance with the increments and it will be not capable hold them once no test is entering your body. It should not take for more than 8 weeks.
The Length Cycle
Along these lines, the splendid mean with respect to Testosterone-based cycle length has every one of the reserves of being two months. Essentially understand that any cycle that comes up short in regards to this term, can regardless make grabs, yet they won't be strong. On the other hand, unless you are a specialist weight lifter with years of steroids use encounter running with a 10 or 12 weeks cycle is not a strong option for you.
8-Weeks Testosterone-based cycle illuminated
In particular, as you presumably know there are a couple of sorts of testosterone and some of them are joined into our cycle, for instance, Testosterone Ethanate and Propionate. What else will you necessity for this cycle? Letrozole or Arimidex, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and Clomid in the midst of post cycle treatment.
Our cycle starts with Testosterone Enanthate used through week 1 – week 6 at estimation 250mg three times every week. 0.7mg of Letrozole step by step is recommended while keeping an eye out for estradiol level in your body. How to understand that estradiol level is going wild? Signs as decreased drive, joints torment or pity should impact you to take a break of few days and a while later to restart its usage at lower estimations.
Testosterone Propionate impacts its path in week 7 to till the focal point of week 8. "Why have I to suspend the use of test prop in the midst of seven days prior of cycling?" you ask. There is a legitimate reason for this. Since we suggested it to be a two months cycle, starting recovery when test levels are still truly high in the blood is not the best way to deal with act. It should not take for more than 8 weeks. Drop its use two or three days sooner so levels will fall sufficiently for PCT to begin in the week 9 as organized.

Hey you, Spiritual Being! Want to access that peaceful place in your brain where you connect with your intuition and the divine?
- Are your thoughts spinning endlessly through your brain?
- Are you longing to find that quiet place inside yourself?
- Are you drawn to meditation, nature, contemplation, ritual or prayer?
- Do you wish you could figure out ways to access your intuition or connect with the divine, but you're not quite sure what that would look like?
Maybe you've tried some form of meditation, and sometimes it works to quiet you and sometime it doesn't, and you'd love to become more consistent.
Join Cynthia Topp for:
Wordlessness: Finding the Peaceful Place in Your Brain
a FREE class via conference call
On the call:
- Learn some simple ways to consistently access Wordlessness.
- Uncover what's been interfering.
- Set yourself free from those endlessly spinning thoughts, so that you can use your mind to serve your true purpose in life.
- Receive some specific tools to drop into Wordlessness.
Sign Up Here for this FREE Class, "Wordlessness: Finding the Peaceful Place in Your Brain"!
Thursday, June 29, 2017 at:
- 11:30am Eastern Time
- 10:30am Central Time
- 9:30am Mountain Time
- 8:30am Pacific Time
Sign up now to receive reminders when the time is nearer.
In this class, we want to help you go to a place we will be referring to as 'Wordlessness.'
- when you think in images, no longer in words
- when all those crazy, out-of-control thoughts stop racing around inside your head, and you become quiet and very present
- an end result of techniques practiced in many cultures by 'Wayfinders' — the mystics, the intuitives, the healers, the priestesses and priests, the shamans and the medicine people
- the place from which these 'Wayfinders' throughout history have done their life's work and magic.
- the place where we access our souls or our spirits or our higher selves, or connect with the divine, however you prefer to think of it.
Sound delicious?
It's completely possible to drop into Wordlessness whenever you want to, whether it's while you're out on a walk by the sea or standing in line at the grocery store with a screaming child. People in every culture throughout history, who have put time and effort into learning some tools, have developed the skill of Wordlessness. This is not just something for saints and mystics – it can be learned by anyone.
So if it's possible to drop into Wordlessness when we choose to, why is the reality so very different for so many of us?
Why do we struggle to sit still for five minutes and try to meditate?
Or why do we believe we're called to be those 'Wayfinders,' those healers and mystics and intuitives in our own time and culture, but it just isn't happening?
The truth is that Wordlessness is a skill, and like any skill, there's a learning process and it involves practice.
Which is why I'm inviting you to join me for this free one-hour class via teleconference. If you want to learn some new tools to access Wordlessness, then this free session is for you! Sign up at the top of this page to reserve your spot!

About The Smear:
Ever wonder how politics turned into a take-no-prisoners blood sport? The New York Times bestselling author of Stonewalled pulls back the curtain on the shady world of opposition research and reveals the dirty tricks those in power use to influence your opinions.
Behind most major political stories in the modern era, there is an agenda; an effort by opposition researchers, spin doctors, and outside interests to destroy an idea or a person. The tactic they use is the Smear. Every day, Americans are influenced by the Smear without knowing it. Paid forces cleverly shape virtually every image you cross. Maybe you read that Donald Trump is a racist misogynist, or saw someone on the news mocking the Bernie Sanders campaign. The trick of the Smear is that it is often based on some shred of truth, but these media-driven "hit pieces" are designed to obscure the truth. Success hinges on the Smear artist's ability to remain invisible; to make it seem as if their work is neither calculated nor scripted. It must appear to be precisely what it is not.
Veteran journalist Sharyl Attkisson has witnessed this practice firsthand. After years of being pitched hit jobs and puff pieces, she's an expert at detecting Smear campaigns. Now, the hard-hitting investigative reporter shares her inside knowledge, revealing how the Smear takes shape and who its perpetrators are—including Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal and, most influential of all, "right-wing assassin turned left-wing assassin" (National Review) political operative David Brock and his Media Matters for America empire.
Attkisson exposes the diabolical tactics of Smear artists, and their outrageous access to the biggest names in political media—operatives who are corrupting the political process, and discouraging widespread citizen involvement in our democracy.

CAN THO (VNS)— Viet Nam produces more than eight million tonnes of fertilisers a year, meeting 80 per cent of demand, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Speaking at a seminar in Can Tho on Tuesday, Vo Van Quyen, head of the ministry's Market Department, said the country imports most of its ammonium sulphate, potassium, and DAP (diammonium phosphate) for its needs but is virtually self-sufficient in most others.
By 2015 it will fully meet its urea, phosphate, and NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) needs as well as 70-80 per cent of DAP and 30 per cent of SA needs, he said.
However, SA fertiliser has low content of protein and can be replaced by urea fertiliser, he said.
The department reported at the seminar that it carried out 1,057 inspections in the first half of the year and uncovered 258 cases of fake and low-quality fertilisers.
Nguyen Van Tuynh, deputy head of the department's southern office, said the problem of spurious and low-quality fertilisers has become complicated.
Quyen said to efficiently manage the market, it is required to inspect the quality of fertilisers produced and sold, balance supply and demand through storage policies, and regulate imports through tariffs.
Support policies are needed to improve the distribution system to reduce the number of layers of middlemen to stabilise prices, he said.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Ho Thi Kim Thoa said it is necessary to strengthen inspections since the sale of fake and low-quality fertilisers has affected genuine traders and producers and farmers.
The Government has ordered the Ministry of Industry and Trade to draft a new decree for management of the fertiliser market, she said.
Under the decree, her ministry would manage inorganic fertilisers while the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development would manage organic fertiliser, she said. Penalties for violations would be made more stringent, she added.— VNS

Motivation and Hr
Managerial Economics BSP 1005 D2 November 2011
Sanjeev Mohta
Small number of firms Great deal of interdependence Interdependence leads to strategic behavior Conditions may promote collusion No single model of oligopoly Many models depending on circumstances
Conclusions from some Oligopoly models
The oligopoly firms will conspire and collaborate to charge the monopoly price and get monopoly profits. The oligopoly firms will compete on price so that the price and profits will be the same as those of a Perfectly competitive industry. The oligopoly price and profits will be somewhere between the monopoly and Perfectly competitive ends of the scale. Oligopoly prices and profits are "indeterminate." That is, they may be anything within the range, and are unpredictable.
Applying Game Theory to Oligopoly
Price Competition (Bertrand) Location (Differentiation) : Hotelling
Capacity Competition : Simultaneous (Cournot) Capacity Competition : Sequential (Stackleberg)
The Setting
Key Assumptions: 2 Firms Same Marginal Cost Homogeneous product
Price Competition
Bertrand model
Sellers with unlimited capacity compete on price Suppose one of the two firms charges price p, above marginal cost The other firm has three choices: price > p: lose all customers price = p: split the market in half price < p: gain the whole market, even marginally below p The same logic would apply to the other firm
Bertrand Model : Strategies
Firm 1' action P > MC P < MC P = MC Firm 2's best response Undercut Firm 1 Get out of the market P = MC, or get out of the market
In the case 1, if Price is greater than the monopoly price, the best response would be for Price to be the Monopoly price.
Nash Equilibrium
For each firm's response to be a best response to the other's each firm must undercut the other as long as P> MC Where does this stop? P = MC (!)
Avoiding Bertrand Paradox
Repeated Game
Example : Tit for Tat Strategy Price High Observe Competitors Pricing Cut price only if the competitor cuts price This could avoid price wars and achieve tacit cooperation
Variation of the Bertrand Model : I
Firms with Different Marginal Costs (with no capacity constraint) Equilibrium
In general the lowest cost firm(s) will keep the higher cost firms out / or leave them with little profits
Variation of the Bertrand Model :II
Firms with Differentiated Product ( example Customer Loyalty) Equilibrium Prices can sustain above marginal cost
Pricing: Differentiated Products
Two Stores, Ajax and Bacchus, located on a linear road selling identical product with identical marginal cost of c. The total distance between the two firm is 1 100% of the consumers are uniformly located on this road The differentiation arises from the location consumers , who is willing to pay Reservation price R for the product, prefers to buy from firm which is located closer to them as it involves transportation cost ( t ) to travel.
Consider a consumer located at X from Ajax and (1-X) from Bacchus
Finding the reaction Function
Step 1: For a consumer located at X, find the function that makes consumer indifferent between buying from Ajax and Bacchus Step 2 : Derive the Demand function facing Ajax (X*) and for Bacchus (1-X*) Step 3 : Find the profit maximization price for Ajax (PA) for every given price of Bacchus (PB) Result : reaction functions: PA = (PB +c+t)/2 and PB = (PA + c +t)/2 The equilibrium prices are PA* = c+ t and PB *= c+t
Pricing: Differentiated Products
Differentiated sellers: best response price functions
Hotelling conclusions
If the two sellers set equal price they would get half the market demand If Ajax increases its price, it does no lose the entire demand. The Price exceeds marginal cost, thus the solution is better than Bertrand. Higher the " t " less elastic the demand, higher...

So you've loved running since your track days of high school. Vientre Plano De La Noche a La Mañana It's simple, you can do it anywhere and all you need is some good running shoes and pair of comfy cotton footies. But now it's taken on a sub-purpose. Age has allowed those extra pounds you use to leave choking on your dust to catch up with you and hit you right in the gut, literally. There are a billion reasons (or excuses) that justify your 10 or even 20 pounds that keep you company.
You are busier now, so you don't run as often, or as fast, or as long as you use to. You're getting older and your body can't take the as much. Or maybe it was the curse of the evil eye of all those non-runners over the years. (you know they were really jealous they can't run and sweat and look as good doing it.
Whatever your justification, the bottom line is it's time to lace up the old running shoes a little more often. For the last few weeks you've hit the ground running. Enjoying the days of old. Marveling at your new found dedication to your workout schedule. But as you get on the scale once again the numbers barely budge. The problem may be your love for running. The pure exhilaration for the sport. If you consider your self a runner then your gut instinct will tell you to run faster. Try to shave another 2 minutes off your course time.
http://vientreplanodelanochealamananapdf.com/ This time however DO NOT follow your gut feeling or you will be left with your gut to feel. As runner you are use to trying to run faster, cut your course time, beat your personal best or at least don't get any slower than you already have. But if you want to drop those pounds you have to slow down and work at a lower intensity. Using a heart rate monitor is the best way to determine if you are exercising at the proper intensity to reach your weight loss goal. Heart rate monitors due exactly as the name implies. They monitor the rate in which your heart is beating. (By the way, Heart Rate monitors are an invaluable tool for any serious or even semi-serious runner, no matter what your goal is. )

According to reports, Bounty Killer, born Rodney Price, was taken into custody by the St. Andrew North Police for the attack, which allegedly occurred when he attempted to end their three-year relationship. When Bounty Killer was taken into custody, police claim he used his only telephone call to reach the woman and threaten her life, while officers were present. A judge refused to grant the singer bail and he will remained jailed until his court date on Wednesday (April 7th). Bounty Killer also faces previous charges of possession of a firearm, marijuana possession and wounding and assault. The news of Bounty Killers arrest comes days after the United States canceled work visas for a number of popular dancehall acts, including Bounty Killer, Sizzla, Beenie Man, Mavado and Aidonia. Last week, the U.S. Embassy issued a memo to all airlines not board the artists while their visas are being revoked. A number of artists, including Bounty Killer, were forced to cancel shows in Miami and other parts of Florida over this past weekend because of the visa issue. Bounty Killer has worked with a number of popular pop and Hip-Hop acts, including No Doubt, Mya, Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz, Capone-N-Noreaga and others.

Do Race and Economics Decide Who Gets What?
Klingelhofer, Edwin L.
This paper examines the opportunities students from very poor or ethnic minority families have of obtaining financial assistance for a college education. The first section discusses the rapid increase in both numbers and proportion of college age youth who want to go to college. A significant part of this increase consists of students who did not formerly pursue postsecondary education. Most, because they are often low achieving, minority group, and lower socioeconomic status students, gravitate to institutions having the least amount of student financial aid available. The second section cites statements made by College Opportunity Grant applicants on their needs and problems. Education is seen as a way out not only for the student, but also for the family. The third section deals with the built-in disadvantages minority and poor students have in applying for financial aid, such as application deadlines, and scholastic and extracurricular considerations. The last section discusses some of the implications of these conditions for the administration of financial aid. (AF)

Court Rejects Appeal In Gas Drive-Off Killing
Court Rejects Appeal In Gas Drive-Off Killing
DES MOINES, Iowa —
The Iowa Supreme Court rejected the appeal of a man convicted in the death of an Iowa National Guard soldier.
Orlando Rodriquez pleaded guilty to reckless vehicular homicide for his role in a gas drive-off that killed Bruce Mundy.
Rodriquez claimed he had ineffective council who recommended the plea because he was not the person driving the vehicle that hit Mundy. The court disagreed, but did strike down a $125 law enforcement surcharge.

Rosie Meindl, visual resources curator at Rhodes, and Hope Hudson, a first-year student, continually work to update a website called the Memphis Art Project (MAP). The site showcases sculptures on the Rhodes campus as well as public artwork in the Memphis community. It is designed by Rhodes alumnus Brian Dixon '93.
Hudson says the main goal of the project is to make public art in Memphis more accessible and does this by creating "a way to see the art in the community without having to directly visit the pieces." What's more, for those hoping to see the pieces in person, the website offers a GPS locator. This makes it even easier for community members to find art in Memphis, adds Meindl.
Funded by Rhodes' Center for Outreach in the Development of the Arts (CODA), the project is "intended to be student run," she says. This year, that responsibility has been given to Hudson, who graduated from White Station High School. Having grown up in Memphis, Hudson has connections to the art community and has seen many of the MAP pieces since their installations. She is eager to share the collection with her neighbors and peers.
For students at Rhodes interested in getting involved in the project, they can share photos of public art that they find to be inspirational on Instagram, tagging them #memphisartproject. Furthermore, students should not hesitate to email Hudson (firstname.lastname@example.com) with suggestions of pieces they believe should be added.
Meindl and Hudson also are planning a launch event on April 25, 2015. The two hope to engage the whole community of Memphis by collaborating with the Evergreen Art Walk, which will take place the same day. The event will serve as a great opportunity for Rhodes students and Memphis community members alike to come together in support of local artists. Those who are interested in supporting the project will have an opportunity to volunteer the day of the event.
Participants in the launch event also will be given the chance to take part in an Instagram public art challenge. By uploading pictures of public art in Memphis to Instagram and tagging them the Memphis Art Project (#memphisartproject), contestants will be eligible for prizes.
Visit the Memphis Art Project at http://www.memphisart.org/ or follow it on Instagram.

Areas of action
Health care services: Improving therapy
Many regions of the world lack assured basic health care services. In addition, they have a serious shortage of health professionals. The HIV epidemic is exacerbating what was already a dire situation. Germany is therefore working with many developing countries to develop strategies for improving their health care services.
Key elements of this priority area are: provision of advisory services to relevant policy-makers; development and maintenance of the medical infrastructure; and provision of basic medical services to the population. This includes, for example, enabling people to go for an HIV test anonymously and free of charge. Access to essential medicines and qualified medical professionals must also be universally available.
The development and trialling of innovative social and health insurance schemes is necessary so that poor sectors of the population can also be provided with health care services.
Detailed information on Germany's commitment to improving health systems in developing countries is available here.
Improving access to antiretroviral therapy
The price of antiretrovirals has been significantly reduced in recent years. As a result and due to efforts by the international community to fund HIV measures, the number of people in developing countries receiving antiretroviral therapy has multiplied. While back in 2002 only 300,000 people were receiving antiretroviral therapy, that figure had risen to 15 million by march 2015. Nevertheless, millions of people who need these medicines still do not have access to them. And the WHO's new therapy guidelines and the HI virus's increasing resistance to the active substances they have contained up until now are posing new challenges.
The goal of international efforts is to ensure that, by 2015, all those affected worldwide have access to treatment, care and support. The German government supports these efforts and is working hard in partner countries in support of a broad-based, national AIDS policy comprising the following: HIV information and education campaigns, sex education, voluntary and confidential testing and counselling services, care services and quality-assured access to antiretroviral therapy.
Not only access to medicines but also the quality of care HIV patients receive at local level has a big role to play. A partnership involving German university clinics and a regional hospital in Cameroon that Germany is supporting is, for example, being used to train health professionals, improve laboratory services and carry out joint accompanying research.
Affordable medicines
Germany is engaged at various political levels in efforts to further reduce the price of essential medicines for the treatment and care of people with HIV. That is why Germany supports directly – as well as in cooperation with the WHO and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) – the production of high-quality, affordable generic drugs by local companies and through South-South cooperation in Africa and Asia.
In order to ensure the high quality of these generic drugs, manufacturing companies receive support in introducing quality management systems. In addition, licensing and supervisory authorities and specialised laboratories receive assistance when it comes to capacity building. Further, Germany supports the training of urgently needed technical and academic specialists in regard to the manufacture of medicines and the associated research.
Together with the WHO and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Germany also supports its partner countries in Africa and Asia in taking advantage of the possibilities of introducing compulsory licences. These enable them to produce or import affordable copies of important medicines. Among other things Germany provides advisory and training services on the protection of intellectual property rights in such cases.

Raging Bull: A Snapshot of Spain in Crisis
by J. Andrew Zalucky
Spain has gone through a tough few years. A financial crisis spreading across the globe, followed by the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone have left the country with a massive unemployment rate and seemingly little hope for the future. Though you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell when you visit one of its greatest cities: Barcelona.
I recently returned from a trip to the historic metropolis, and while there, it almost felt like things were running along as usual, as if there was no crisis at all. To be sure, Barcelona benefits from being one of the world's foremost tourist destinations and has received a recent boost from the chaos of the Arab Spring deterring travelers from the otherwise tranquil tourist spots of North Africa. That and, as CNN reported earlier this year, it is Madrid that has seen the bulk of discontent:
Nowadays, Madrid is a city of protests — it is almost impossible to cross the capital without coming across a sit-in or a march, petitions are everywhere
Still, Barcelona sits at the heart of Catalonia, a region known for its own nationalistic aspirations (and one which stood as an anti-Fascist stronghold against Franco during the civil war of the 1930's). I vividly remember snapping a photo of this very emphatic sign on display back when I visited London back in 2011 during the Barcelona v. Manchester United game:
So it only makes sense that the recent crisis with the government in Madrid would lead to even stronger voices for independence and dissent. In the context of the civil war, Barcelona itself has a very radical, revolutionary past, one which George Orwell spoke of at length in his Homage to Catalonia:
I had come to Spain with some notion of writing newspaper articles, but I had joined the militia almost immediately, because at that time and in that atmosphere it seemed the only conceivable thing to do. The Anarchists were still in virtual control of Catalonia and the revolution was still in full swing. To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming. It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle. Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags or with the red and black flag of the Anarchists; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties;
While I actually did not see any open protests or riots, there were plenty of images that caught my eye. In many ways, the specter of that turbulent time still haunt the city, and what better time to arrive than at a moment of national crisis?
"Revoltosa", a squatter social-center run by the Occupy movement.
Anti-fascist and Anarchist posters near the El Clot metro stop.
"Capitalism Kills"- its cronyist incarnation certainly hasn't been kind to Spain.
In the hills on the way to Gaudi's house. Messages on the left read "We know your capitalist paradise" and "We look for the hell of freedom."
Graffiti courtesy of the ARRAN Gràcia movement.
"Fight All Government, There's No Authority But Yourself"- I think I liked this one the most.
After only a few days in the city, I absolutely fell in love with Barcelona and would recommend an extended stay there to anyone. Let's all hope things improve for Catalonia and the rest of Spain soon. Such a friendly, beautiful country should never go to waste like this.

Nice first hand report- looking forward to further thoughts based on your visit.

My birthday is coming up next week and I've recently had to clear my life from drama, clutter, and unhealthy relationships (I'll talk more about that later). I usually pride myself in being such a strong person that I don't always allow myself to heal properly. This time I vowed to give myself time to work on myself and work towards my goals. I took a few days off work and found myself lying around the house on social media. I was saving images that inspired me when I ran across someones vision board. This one included cut outs from magazines. This inspired me to do one of my own but I am not the type of person who likes arts and crafts. If there is a digital way to do this I would rather do it that way. As a Web/Graphic designer I searched for "digital vision boards" on google and ran across this post by LightByCoco. She is a fellow designer who created a clean minimal vision board. In a video she showed how to create the board. When I created my board I made a few changes to fit my needs and took it to the FedEx store for printing. I printed 3 copies so that I can post it next to my bed, in my bathroom, and in my closet.
Here is my vision board I created with Adobe InDesign:
From left to right I will describe what each photo means to me:
- Abs. I have never had a flat stomach in my life. Having a flat tummy would help my clothes fit a bit better.
- Friends. I want to keep a close relationship with my friends and befriend new people who have similar interests.
- Camera. For years I have dreamed of owning a DSLR camera. And now that I have my blog and design business I have more a need for it.
- Happiness. I just love this photo of Beyonce. To me it represents happiness. After getting rid of unhealthy relationships, I want to be happier.
- Meal Prep. A few months ago I started meal prepping my food for the week. Now I would like to perfect the process to eliminate food waste and encourage a larger variety of food I can eat.
- Travel. As a young girl I have always wanted to travel the world. Within the next year I plan to travel more.
- 27. Instead of using the calendar year to measure my goals I've decided to use my own birth year.
- Get fit. Just like everyone else I want to loose a few pounds and become physically fit. However, I love my body shape I just want to make it better.
- Mani/Pedi. I want to pamper myself on a regular basis. Yes, I deserve it.
- "Your Only limit Is You". I need to remember that I am my bottleneck. I am the reason I will succeed or fail. No one else has the ability to limit me … but me.
- "Attract what you expect. Reflect what you desire. Become what you respect. Mirror what you admire". Pretty self explanatory.
- Personal Style. I would like to discover my personal style and expand on it.
- Mission Statement. This is my own personal mission statement (I will post about this soon!). I live by this statement everyday.
- Girly Girl. I am somewhat of a tomboy … still but I have always wanted to be seen as a "girly" girl. In my line of work its a little difficult but just a few changes can make a world of a difference.
- Blue hair. I have recently been craving for my hair to be a dark blue. I think it looks great on dark skin if it is done correctly.
- Work from Home. Because I work in Information Technology and my hobbies are also computer-based i believe that working from home is a very achievable goal. It would be definitely easier to travel this way.
- "Train your mind to see the good in everything". I have always been a positive person and I would like to stay that way.
- Future Mini Me. One day I will have children and they will want their mother to be strong and intelligent. I want to set a good example for my own children. I want to live my life and prove to them that they have the ability to do whatever they set their hearts on.
- "You decide what's to be for your heart by what you let fear control in your life". This quote has stuck with me everyday for a little over a year. I try my best not to let fear control my own life.
- Dream House. I have always dreamed to move into a large house in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Marriage. One day I would love to get married. However I am in no rush! I would be spending the rest of my life with him after all.
- Dream Car. My dream car is the Tesla. I love the technology in the dashboard, the fact that its electronic, and the sporty style of the car.
What does your vision board look like? Do you like the traditional version or the digital version? Let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for reading!

MIAMI LAKES, Fla. - The Ana G. Mendez University Campus in Miami Lakes has become a hub for volunteers from several agencies that are banding together for hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
There were stacks of bottled water, diapers, canned foods and other supplies Sunday afternoon to be sent to the U.S. territory.
"Everybody in South Florida has helped us," Natascha Otero Santiago, an organizer for the donations, said. "Since Friday, we have been receiving donations and we have possibly 20 to 25 tons (of supplies)."
Volunteers are now needed at a warehouse at 333 NW 67th St. to assist with the loading and unloading of supplies.
Hurricane Maria devastated the island by knocking out power and impacting the water supply.
At least 10 people have died in the storm's aftermath, and authorities are starting to see firsthand the scope of devastation that left the island off the grid.
Gov. Ricardo Rossello met with more than 50 mayors and representatives from across Puerto Rico on Saturday. Some described the conditions in their communities as "apocalyptic" and said there have been incidents of looting in both homes and stores.
"We know a little more today than we did yesterday," Rossello said. "This is going to be a long road."
On the northwest part of the island, authorities had to physically go to thousands of residents to warn them of a potential dam collapse near the Guajataca River.
Volunteers are hoping to help those on the island get back on their feet.
Anyone who donates water is discouraged from donating large gallon bottles due the difficulty of transporting them. Instead, cases of smaller bottles are preferred.

This past Tuesday I wrote for the Adventure Travel Magazine website for the second time, I wrote about travelling and how to really enjoy it. You may not agree with what I've said in it but everybody enjoys travelling in their own way, but I think I can give a few tips on how to enjoy places around the world completely unlike our own.
A huge number of people never get the chance to travel around the world, experience different cultures and learn from others. That is why those that do travel should really embrace it and fully enjoy their time in countries other than their own, and those that don't might be inspired to try knowing that great enjoyment is just a trip away....

There was a programme on Radio 4 yesterday that dealt with various aspects of how people talk about cancer that was quite interesting (well, I'll let you be the judge of that!). It was part of the 'Word of Mouth' series and can be listened to from the BBC website bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02519lf
It is split into the one clip with Graham Joyce and Pete Crowther talking to each other - both are writers, and another clip involving Dr Ben Kennedy.
There were some quite profound thoughts about fear not being able to defeat hope; the way that people may talk as if they want to 'fight' cancer for you, out of love, notwithstanding that some people do not relate to the language of warfare against the disease; the desire to control the progress of disease that may be an illusion - some things you can control, others you cannot; not wanting to give too much power to the cancer; and how words may have different meanings and interpretations between doctor and patient.

Blaine Harden
Escape from Camp 14
One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to
Release Date: 3/29/2012
LIST PRICE: $26.95 (you save $8.09)
A New York Times bestseller, the shocking story of one of the few people born in a North Korean political prison to have escaped and survived.
North Korea is isolated and hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. It is also armed with nuclear weapons. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin's Soviet gulags and twelve times as long as the Nazi concentration camps. Very few born and raised in these camps have escaped. But Shin Donghyuk did.
In Escape from Camp 14, acclaimed journalist Blaine Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and through the lens of Shin's life unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence-he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. Through Harden's harrowing narrative of Shin's life and remarkable escape, he offers an unequaled inside account of one of the world's darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage, and survival.
"Harden's book, besides being a gripping story, unsparingly told, carries a freight of intelligence about this black hole of a country."—Bill Keller, The New York Times

Sometimes I eat chips before 12pm.
I have so many reasons to be happy everyday but sometimes I just feel blue.
I really enjoy sleeping and need at least 7 hours a night to be useful for anything.
I love to watch reality TV - Kardashians, The Real House Wives, Bachelor, Duck Dynasty etc.
I think the best bite of dinner is always the last one pulled from the dishes dinner was cooked in, when your alone in the kitchen cleaning up.
I am a procrastinator.
Is there anything you would like to confess?

NDP leader Andrea Horwath says Liberals allowed change for accounting purposes
Due to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance reclassifying Sydenham District Hospital in this community, it likely lost millions of dollars in funding from the province.
Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Andrea Horwath was in Wallaceburg on Thursday to highlight and clarify the funds that SDH has missed out on over the past few years.
At issue was why the Wallaceburg hospital was stripped of its small and rural hospital designation a few years ago. The province provides specialized funds for small and rural hospitals, for services such as emergency room, diagnostic imaging, and front-line care workers.
The Alliance, for accounting purposes, lumped the Wallaceburg hospital with the Chatham hospital.
While Horwath didn't have the exact figure that SDH lost out on, she said it's likely "millions" of dollars.
She said the Kathleen Wynne Liberals have shortchanged hospitals across Ontario by at least $300 million this year.
Horwath said it took 13 months to get answers out of the Liberal government about why SDH lost its designation.
According to internal government documents accessed through a Freedom of Information request, Horwath said the rationale the Wynne Liberals used to justify stripping services from this community was that keeping the accounting clear between the Sydenham and Chatham hospital campuses was too complex to bother.
The FOI also noted that while the Sydenham hospital is considered 'small,' the Liberals don't consider it rural because it is eight minutes too close to Chatham to qualify under the government's arbitrary definition.
"Because it takes only 22 minutes to drive to Chatham and not 30 minutes . . . this community is losing services, losing beds and losing care," said Horwath.
Hospital lobby group Save Our Sydenham (SOS), as well as the former SDH board, has worked hard over the years to get the hospital reclassified.
SOS chair Conrad Noel, who was formerly on the SDH board, said supporters of the Wallaceburg hospital have been asking for years to get the CKHA to reclassify the hospital.
"Funding brings more money, more money for SDH and more services are available," Noel said.
He added the hospital has been shortchanged for about five years, after the CKHA changed the classification. He thinks the classification change was done so the CKHA could eventually close the Wallaceburg hospital.
Noel also suspects the Wallaceburg hospital lost out on millions of dollars.
"We don't know what the exact amount is because (CKHA) wouldn't tell us," he said. "It would be interesting (for them) to say what you've lost, but why are they not moving forward to say this is what you can gain now and we will have more services?"
"Wallaceburg deserves so much better than Conservative cuts and Liberal excuses," Horwath said. "This change highlights just how out of touch Wynne and the Liberals are with the people who live here and how little regard they have for how their decisions affect daily life in communities across Ontario."

Arguments about whether or not vinyl actually sounds better are meaningless, because vinyl's resurgence likely has less to do with sound quality at this point than it does an increased demand for novelty merch. But beyond the color-exclusives and increasingly confounding packaging, the most striking example of the contemporary mangling of vinyl's reason to exist is Slightly Stoopid's smokable, $7,000 weed record. That's right, the band's instrumental track "Dabbington" is now the first known vinyl pressed from hash. Here's what it looks like, courtesy of Billboard:
As of now the first two pressings (yup, there's more than one of these monstrosities out there) have only produced somewhat passable audio, but a third and final attempt at this thing is planned for early this year. Yet some good might come out of this, as Slightly Stoopid's manager Jon Phillips plans to market the band's brand of bubble hash to dispensaries and donate a percentage of the proceeds to cancer research. He's also considering auctioning it off for charity, so maybe a lucky buyer will also be able to do some good while making poor decisions at some point in the future. You can listen to "Dabbington" below, I suppose.
