Deb & Roger's YB Travel Adventures to Cambodia 2003
Phnom Penh, along with Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, are significant global and domestic tourist destinations for Cambodia. We had been wanting to visit but each year were told by everyone that it was very dangerous, like the wild wild west. And it was only in 1979 that the Khumer Rouge were driven out of by the Vietnamese. But in 2003 we were in Thailand on our annual trip, and the timing was right.
We flew from Bangkok into Phnom Penh. The city is situated on the banks of the Tonlé Sap, Mekong and Bassac rivers, and we found a small place right on the river. Phnom Penh was once known as the "Pearl of Asia", and considered one of the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina in the 1920s. But after the war, while some areas were nice, it was not what we expected. Everything was substandard, and you paid a lot for this. The road in front of our hotel was red dirt, but actually there was pavement underneath. I am sure, like everywhere else in Asia in the past ten years, this is nothing like it is today.
But with all traveling, you take each place for what it is, and enjoy what it has to offer. So we spent the next few days touring the city, looking at what was left of the beautiful French architecture, visiting Wats (temples), the palace, and markets which we love. Plus the more sombering sites of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former Khmer Rouge prison, and Choeung Ek, one of the killing fields.
Choeung Ek, the site of a former orchard and Chinese graveyard about 17 km south of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is the best-known of the sites known as The Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime executed about 17,000 people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the dead were former inmates in the Tuol Sleng prison. Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial, marked by a Buddhist stupa. We were heavy for days after visiting these two sites.
From here we wanted to visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap so investigated road travel versus the boat. Back then the the bus ride was long, and there were no facilities so if you had to go to the toilet you did it in the road. If you walked off into the brush you could be blown up by a land mine.
We opted for the boat. In Thailand you pay the same as a local. At this time, in Cambodia foreigners paid 1000 times as much as a local, and there was no such thing as a tourist boat. The boat we got on was so overloaded that most of us sat on top. Which is preferable if you have to swim for shore. And if it had life jackets, we couldn't find them. But we were all enjoying ourselves, and experiencing the locals that lived on the river bank, water buffalo, people fishing, as we headed up river.
We passed a boat that had broken down, and we stopped to pick up more people in our already crowded boat. I kept thinking that if we sunk, I could swim to the shore. And this was a comfort until we got to Tonle Sap Lake and I could not see a bit of shoreline in any direction. This was the longest boat trip I had ever experienced, and every moment until I saw land, several hours later, was torture.
But once you see land you are so grateful you survived that nothing else matters. And this too, is one of the joys of travel. As we approached Siem Reap there is a spit of land with many boats and rickety shacks the locals live in. And hundreds of people standing on shore, along with rickshaws, waiting for all of us tourists to take us to town, or to a friend's place to stay. Once we docked and walked down a plank, literally, to the shore we started negotiating for a ride to town and a place to stay.
Back then there were only two Western style hotels. And we don't really go for these, you could be anywhere, so we opted for a room in a small place across from one of these. Close to Angkor Wat. Good price which is important when you travel six months at a time. Clean, and neat. And later we found out just across the bridge from the market. This was awesome as we ate a lot of our meals there. And in the early evenings watched thousands of bats flying in the air.
We are partial to Hinduism, and Buddhism. And Angkor Wat is a temple complex built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. And truly a must see.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried temple, based on early South Indian Hindu architecture, with key features such as the Jagati. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next.
At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas (guardian spirits) adorning its walls. We could have stayed a few more days. And plan to visit this place again in this decade.
After 3 days here we headed to the airport to catch our flight back to Thailand. At the airport there were beautiful things to buy, the craftsman and artisans in Asia are truly amazing. But what struck me the most was the sign on each toilet stall that showed a photo of how to sit on the toilet. I had been used to squat toilets, like most parts of Asia, the western toilet didn't arrive until recently. I was always thrilled to find one. But the locals did not know how to use them. They would stand on the seat like they did on their squat toilets. Truly wonderful, the cultural differences.

Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Many experienced players don't consider Mundo to be a tank. This is because of his inability to snare/stun. With this build Mundo is a pain train and a force to be reckoned with.
Starting off
At the beginning of the game I start off with a ruby crystal to allow Mundo to have over 900 hp. Using cleavers intelligently in the lane you can both lane hit creeps and harass heros. Mundo early game is one of the best harassers because of his ability to constantly throw axes with little to no effect. Because Mundo's skills are based upon his health, cleavers virtually do no damage to him.
It is a must to try to stay in the lane as long as possible. If Mundo is level 4-5 and you can safely just stay in the lane, do so. At level 6 his ultimate, sadism, will keep him in the lane for an incredible period of time. Which brings me to my next point. If you are able to last hit with cleavers or are even lucky enough to get a kill rush warmogs. I cannot stress this enough.
Mid Game
Near level 8-12 you should have a few ranks of cleaver to start to harass and push your lane hard. With burning agony used intelligently on the creeps Mundo is able to boost his warmogs to the max. At this point boots should have already been purchased maybe at the same time as warmogs. Boots are always situational. Be smart. If you guys are dominating the enemy team and you are able to pick up a few kills get boots of swiftness. Melee heavy team, Ninja Tabi. Casters or heavy stun, mercury. All of mundos items tend to be situational. For building purposes this is my core build in both 3v3 and 5v5.
Mid game is when Mundo is strongest. Mundo is alright at creeping. Cleaver takes a huge chunk out of creeps health. If you are able to get a dragon buff early do so.
End Game
This is when I find Mundo to be the greatest. For one around level 16 you should be pushing close to 3500 hp. Not many heros are going to gank you unless you play dumb. With ghost and his ultimate he is able to quickly charge to save teammates. If you see a teammate in danger and are able to help them do so. YOU ARE THE PAIN TRAIN. Many Mundos forget that they are the tank. Stay out in front, Allow your teammates to do their job. Near the end of the game Mundos items are the most situational. I find myself getting 1 sunfire most of the time, but once again depending on how caster/melee heavy the team is aim your items accordingly.
Get out there. Be the tank for your team. Its so incredible how well Mundo is overlooked at a tank. He is a force to be reckoned with. With the sunfires and the burning agony, you are a threat as a tank. I cannot tell you have many opponents have fallen to the great Mundo. If you find yourself getting low on health ghost out and as you are use regen. Opponents will either ignore you, poor choice, or focus you. If they begin to chase your teammates cleaver them and keep your burning agony running.
El Fin
Overall I find Mundo to be an incredible hero, and I hope this build can help some of the new or even experienced Mundos out. Just remember Mundo is a tank/damage hero. Utilize it.

Mickey Mouse is taking over the Death Star.
Disney is shelling out a whopping $4.05 billion to buy Lucasfilm, the studio behind "Star Wars," from founder and special-effects maestro George Lucas.
With the purchase, Disney will get all six "Star Wars" films and the rights to make more. It's already working on a seventh installment set for release in 2015, with new films coming out every two or three years after that. Lucas will be a consultant on the new projects.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said there's still "substantial pent-up demand" for the films after the last installment, "Revenge of the Sith," was released in 2005.
Disney also plans to exploit the "Star Wars" properties at its theme parks around the world.
In addition, the deal includes special effects shop Industrial Light & Magic, which has had a big hand in the "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, as well as rights to the "Indiana Jones" franchise.
The deal adds to Disney's substantial stable of movie assets, including Marvel Entertainment and Pixar. Disney paid $4 billion in 2009 Marvel, which released blockbuster "The Avengers" this year.
While the move came as a surprise, it is likely aimed at cementing Iger's long-term legacy. He is expected to retire at the end of 2014.
Lucasfilm is fully owned by its founder, who had already stepped back from day-to-day operations. "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers," the 68-year-old Lucas said in a statement.
Lucasfilm is run by Co-Chairman Kathleen Kennedy, who will become president of Lucasfilm and report to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn.
Disney will pay half the amount in cash and half in stock, issuing 40 million additional shares.

CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 19 - An inmate released by mistake in Ohio this week arranged his own way back to the prison in Colorado where he still has two more years to serve. He even called to say he was on his way.
Jailers in Stark County, Ohio, let the inmate, Ricky Lee Claycomb, go on Tuesday after he was acquitted of a rape charge that he had been brought to Ohio from Colorado to face. Jail officials apparently never saw the paperwork to return him to the Colorado prison.
"We don't know exactly what happened," Sheriff Tim Swanson said.
Mr. Claycomb, 37, called his mother in Henderson, Colo.
"He told them at the jail that he was supposed to be taken back to Colorado," said Mr. Claycomb's mother, Jill Claycomb. "He said they told him he was done in Canton and it was his problem to get back."
She sent him money for a bus ticket. After the two-day trip to Colorado, Mr. Claycomb visited her long enough to have oatmeal and peaches for breakfast and pizza for lunch, and then his brother drove him to the Fremont Correctional Facility in Canon City, Colo., late Thursday.Continue reading the main story
"He was nice enough to call ahead," said Katherine Sanguinetti, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections. "I think he was afraid we would shoot him or something, but it wasn't his fault Ohio let him go."
Mr. Claycomb was serving time in Colorado for robbery and was brought to Ohio to stand trial on a 1994 rape charge after a crime database indicated a DNA match.
However, Mr. Claycomb testified that he had consensual sex with the woman the day before the alleged assault, and jurors acquitted him.
Ms. Claycomb said that soon after her telephone conversation with her son, Stark County authorities called to find out if she knew where he was.
"I told a detective what happened, that he was coming back to Colorado on his own," she said. "He just said, 'Bless Ricky's little heart."'Continue reading the main story

Quoted from "heathuff"
When you ask what happens when I turn the valves on manually from the "valve box"...are you referring to the controller box where I program days of the week and zones?
No, the controller (clock) is an electrical timer that you can program so that the valves come on for certain lenghts of time on specific days. If you have anti-siphon valves, they will be above ground. Other types of irrigation valves are probably in the ground, hopefuly in a valve box for protection. Wires connect the clock to the irrigation valve(s). You should be able to turn the valve on manually at the valve box for testing.
on the outside of the house where the pump is, there are 2 valves that turn just like if I were turning on a hose, but when I turn them either way, nothing happens.
Turn both of these valves counter clockwise to make sure that they are open. The problem could be as simple as making sure that all of your valves are open, and you have your pump primed.
Would you happen to know how much something like this will cost to be repaired (assuming the pump is ok)? I realize without knowing the actual problem its hard to answer, but Im afraid someone is going to come here and try to tell me its something complicated and expensive, when it may be something very simple
I have no idea what the labor charges are for your area, as a matter of fact, I don't even know where on our planet that you live. I've done some jobs like this and it's taken ten minutes, and most of that was learning the system. I've done others that have taken several hours. You are right, you can't really tell until you look at it.

Our new-look website is here!
FACT's Jen Chapman introduces our redesigned and improved website!
27 February 2014
"Websites are tricky things! They can become out-of-date almost as soon as you launch, one minor change can have unexpectedly major consequences and for an organisation as complex as FACT it's not always easy to make sure the right information is in the right place (or more importantly, that users can find where that right place is!)
We've listened to your feedback, tested our ideas on some of you (big thanks to our five guinea pigs) and have hopefully made the FACT website cleaner, clearer and easier to use.
We hope you'll find it easier to find all of the exciting stuff that's coming up at FACT, and have introduced the option to filter our what's on listings depending on what you are looking for (films, exhibitions, workshops etc) and also by date.
We've added the ability to view all upcoming listings for special groups like Silver Screen, Kids' Club and Big Scream! as well as an easy way to view everything in a special series or season.
Our exhibition pages have been redesigned to make it easier to see all of the related artworks, events, workshops, screenings, artists, downloads and texts. These pages will grow in the run-up-to, and during our exhibitions as we produce new, dynamic content.
We've also added the complete archive of all of our exhibitions in the last 10 years and many of our community, learning, young people's and health projects. Well worth a browse!
Our popular News & Articles section is here to stay and we'll be continuing to publish regular blogs, reviews, opinion pieces, announcements and behind the scenes info. We are always looking for new voices to contribute articles, so if you'd like to Write for FACT you can find out more here.
Of course, we couldn't have done it without the support of our fantastic website partners Sigma who have been endlessly patient, wonderfully creative and a font of websitey knowledge!
Our golden rule with this website is that it will never be a finished product, but will continue to grow and evolve along with FACT, so we're already looking forward to our next updates!
We hope you like the new look as much as we do, and would love to hear any feedback (good and bad!) you have so that we can continue to improve. Please drop me an email with any of your comments or suggestions!"

Nearly 38 million U.S. residents speak Spanish at home, a stunning increase over the 1980 number of 11 million, according to the U.S. Census.
Spanish-speakers accounted for roughly two-thirds of the nearly 61 million who speak a language other than English at home, the Census report said.
At the same time, proficiency in English seems to be on the rise among Spanish-speakers, with 5.6 percent of this group saying that they speak English "less than very well," compared with 5.7 percent over the 2005-2011 period.
Overall, the number of people in the United States who speak a foreign language at home has tripled since 1980.
"The study provides evidence of the growing role of languages other than English in the national fabric," said Camille Ryan, a U.S. Census statistician and the report's author, in a statement. "Yet, at the same time that more people are speaking languages other than English at home, the percentage of people speaking English proficiently has remained steady."

After Spanish, Chinese followed by a very distant margin – it is spoken by just under 3 million people.
Other languages whose use at home use has grown significantly over the decades are Vietnamese, Russian, Persian, Armenian, Korean and Tagalog.
Vietnamese saw the highest percentage jump of all the most commonly spoken languages, but Spanish had the largest numerical gain, with nearly 26 million.
Laredo, Texas led metropolitan areas in the percentage – 92 – of residents older than the age of 5 who speak a language other than English at home.
Different parts of the United States showed a wide variety in the speaking of a foreign language at home. For instance, 44 percent of the population in California speaks a language other than English at home, whereas in West Virginia only 2 percent does.

Busted: Biotech Leader 'Syngenta' Charged Over Covering Up Animal Deaths from GM Corn
In a riveting victory against genetically modified creations, a major biotech company known as Syngenta has been criminally charged for denying knowledge that its GM Bt corn actually kills livestock. What's more is not only did the company deny this fact, but they did so in a civil court case that ended back in 2007. The charges were finally issued after a long legal struggle against the mega corp initiated by a German farmer named Gottfried Gloeckner whose dairy cattle died after eating the Bt toxin and coming down with a 'mysterious' illness.
Syngenta and Animal Deaths
Grown on his own farm from 1997 to 2002, the cows on the farm were all being fed exclusively on Syngenta's Bt 176 corn by the year 2000. It was around this time that the mysterious illnesses began to emerge among the cattle population. Syngenta paid Gloeckner 40,000 euros in an effort to silence the farmer, however a civil lawsuit was brought upon the company. Amazingly, 2 cows ate genetically modified maize (now banned in Poland over serious concerns) and died. During the civil lawsuit, however, Syngenta refused to admit that its GM corn was responsible. In fact, they went as far as to claim having no knowledge whatsoever of harm.
The case was dismissed and Gloeckner, the farmer who launched the suit, was left thousands of euros in debt. And that's not all; Gloeckner continued to lose many cows as a result of Syngenta's modified Bt corn. After halting the use of GM feed in 2002, Gloeckner attempted a full investigation with the Robert Koch Institute and Syngenta involved. The data of this investigation is still unavailable to the public, and only examined one cow. In 2009, however, the Gloeckner teamed up with a German action group known as Bündnis Aktion Gen-Klage and to ultimately bring Syngenta to the criminal court.
Using the testimony of another farmer whose cows died after eating Syngenta product, Gloeckner and the team have charged the biotech giant for the death of over 65 cows, withholding knowledge of the death-link, and holding the corporation liable for not registering the cattle deaths. The team is even charging Hans-Theo Jahmann, the German head of Syngenta , personally over the withholding of knowledge.
The charges bring to light just how far large biotechnology companies will go to conceal evidence linking their genetically modified products to serious harm. Monsanto, for example, has even threatened to sue the entire state of Vermont if they attempt to label its genetically modified ingredients. Why are they so afraid of the consumer knowing what they are putting in their mouths?

Fortunately, there are a number of SEO tools available to you, which help you to analyze your sites. However, selection of these tools needs careful attention. If you are just starting off, you will do well to read reviews of such SEO tools in reputed publications and to attend some seminars where the subject is discussed. If you are able to get a trial offer, seriously consider taking it on. Alternatively, you can make on purchase decision conditional on the SEO tool vendor showing you measurable improvement in your ratings.
Getting good ratings on directory services and search engines is critical to your business. Using proven SEO tools is a good way to improve your prospects.
Investing in SEO software is a smart choice if you really want to give your online business a boost. However, you shouldn't blindly buy the first optimization kit you come across. It helps to know exactly what kind of tools you need to effectively optimize your website.
In Today, Out Tomorrow
An important thing to keep in mind regarding SEO software is that the tools and techniques are constantly changing. Online business ventures are evolving at an incredible rate; what was considered cutting edge a few months ago is termed traditional today. Webmasters all over the world devote a lot of time and energy to find more effective optimization tools and techniques.
If you're still a novice to the search engine optimization game, this can be an overwhelming affair. It helps to keep a few hints in mind- first, the latest optimization tools aren't necessarily the greatest. A number of new packages claim to boost page rankings in a matter of days- these claims are not only expensive, they need to be taken with a pinch of salt. On the other hand, some basic traditional techniques are strong optimization tools, even today.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS (Press Release) - Five late runs and nine total hits proved too little, too late as the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters fell 13-5 to the Green Bay Bullfrogs Tuesday night. Green Bay stunned the Witter Field crowd early, pounding out eight runs over their first three at bats.
For the third straight night a Rafters starter failed to work at least four innings. Brad Douthit, fighting command troubles in his seventh start, allowed eight runs over three and two thirds innings. A three run second and a four run fourth provided the bulk of the damage. Zach Mercer also allowed a four run inning in relief. In all the Bullfrogs sent at least seven hitters to the plate in four of the first five innings.
Prior to a four run fifth for Green Bay, the Rafters managed to break onto the scoreboard. With one out in the bottom of the fourth Brandon Hohl singled and Josh Cyr doubled to put runners at second and third. Sam Montgomery drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly to center field. Then with two outs Justin Jirschele singled Cyr home from second to make it 8-2.
An inning later the Rafters showed life, scoring a pair of runs, sparked by a Bobby Martin's second of two base hits on the night. Garrett Nash doubled Martin home for the third run of the night. Then, one out later, Alex Edward doubled to drive in Nash. The final run for the Rafters came home in the bottom of the eighth when Sam Montgomery doubled and scored on a Bart Steponovich RBI knock.
Kevin Wild worked two scoreless innings, covering the sixth and seventh, facing the minimum with a walk, strike-out and double play induced. Kyle Peterson recorded the final six outs of the game, but did allow a solo home run in the ninth to set the final at 13-5. Rafters fall to 8-24 with one game left in the first half of play.
The Rafters four game home stand concludes on Wednesday at 7:05.

So I was invited to a Brooklyn Cyclones baseball game tonight. It's not the Yankees (which may be a good thing...), it's not even the Mets--it's their farm team--but it's baseball, and it's baseball in Brooklyn (eat your heart out Dodgers' fans). Up close, and within spitting distance of always entertaining Coney Island. So why the heck not? Well, this is why the heck not....
Fans are invited to dress up as their favorite Stallone character, with the winning costume receiving a prize pack.Good grief. A whole night dedicated to Sylvester Stallone? Quick. Somebody. Anybody. Please remind me again why I love going to baseball games.
Anyone named "Sylvester" will be admitted to the ballpark at no charge.
In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the 1987 movie Over The Top (in which Stallone plays a struggling trucker competing in a Las Vegas Arm Wrestling Championship, and sporting a New York City Arm Wrestling T-shirt), the New York Arm Wrestling Association (NYAWA) will host over 100 men and women competing that day for the 25th Annual White Castle 'Kingsboro' Golden Arm Wrestling titles, featuring a championship match taking place on the dugout during that night's game!
Don't get me wrong. I loved the original Rocky movie: The timeless story of the two-bit loser who gets the chance of a lifetime, "goes the distance" and gets the girl, to boot. What's not to like? Stallone was brilliant, the fight scenes a cinematic feat, and the writing gritty (
I've watched the movie at least a half dozen times, and it still makes me cheer and
Stallone has made 56 films and I can say
I've never, ever seen any of the Rambo movies save the trailers I was forced to watch in movie theaters or the night that PortiaMan hid the remote control, and I was exposed to 20 minutes or so of First Blood Part
As far as I'm concerned, Stallone's talent ended when the credits for Rocky I started rolling. Until this morning, that is, when I watched this very um...entertaining clip, and realized that I may have acted precipitously by dismissing Mr. Stallone's
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that nowAnybody got a bandana I can borrow for tonight's game?

Our Office, Your Patients, Their Community
The UPMC St. Margaret Family Health Centers (FHCs) are the cornerstones of our residency program. Located in the communities of Lawrenceville, Bloomfield-Garfield and New Kensington in the greater Pittsburgh area, they are nurturing practice settings in which residents develop skills, knowledge and, most importantly, meaningful continuity relationships with patients.
One of the primary goals of each of our FHCs is improving access to the communities they serve. Each FHC is located in a practice setting with a large patient population that is marginalized, and it is the objective of our residents, faculty, and staff to best meet the needs of all of our patients.
Our FHCs have residents, medical directors, fellows, and faculty physicians who work side by side with nurses, medical assistants, radiology technicians, pharmacists, and social workers to create a team-based environment to deliver patient care. We offer the full spectrum of family medicine: from prenatal, post-partum, and newborn care, to well child and adolescent care, women's health, contraception, well adult and chronic disease management, geriatrics and palliative care. A multidisciplinary home visit program serves our homebound patients, and we work collaboratively with hospice programs as well. We offer many outpatient procedures including skin, joint, and gynecological services.
The FHCs are bolstered by the presence of three fellowships based at St. Margaret: Faculty Development, Geriatrics, and Sports Medicine. These fellowships provide excellent educational support and learning opportunities for our residents and faculty.
Finally, our Integrated Behavioral Health team of social workers and an onsite psychiatrist provides collaborative care with the primary team -- a level of access to mental health services that is unparalleled and a model to other practices.
Lawrenceville Center
The Lawrenceville Family Health Center is the headquarters for our Family Medicine Fellowship Program and many Community Medicine outreach programs.

New Pokemon Info On The Horizon
A Japanese advertisement for Pokemon Black and White 2 heralds new Pokemon information to be released on January 8th. Originally spotted on Game Jouhou and translated by Gematsu, it is unknown as to what this update may be.
Image Source: @hyottoko24
The Pokemon series has classically consisted of a three game color-cycle, with a third game being released a year or more later. The first direct Pokemon sequels were the aforementioned Black and White 2, so may we be expecting a third game? Burgundy anyone?
DidYouKnowGaming? and some other fans have a different idea though, as can be seen in the video below (skip to 3:30). Added back into the most recent Pokemon games were sprites not seen since Ruby and Sapphire. An interesting thought.
Be sure to check in next Tuesday for the new information.

May 7, 2009
Bourbon reports increased revenues
Paris-headquartered Bourbon reports that revenues for the first quarter of 2009 were up 12.8% compared with the same period in 2008, totaling 238.7 million euros. The Offshore Division posted strong growth, benefiting from the full effect of vessels commissioned in 2008. The Bulk Division, though, felt the dual effect of an activity slowdown and a collapse in freight rates.
"In a market environment now affected by the economic slowdown and falling oil prices, the Offshore Division still has strong potential for growth owing to its investment strategy in innovative and high performance vessels at lower costs for clients," says Chairman and CEO Jacques de Chateauvieux.
Year-on-year, revenues for the Offshore Division in the first quarter were up 47.7% (+36.2% at constant exchange rates) to 202.0 million euros. The growth in this quarter was due mainly to the full impact of the vessels commissioned in 2008, and the deliveries, early this year, of five supply vessels (including four Bourbon Liberty vessels) and 14 crew-boats.
The sharp reduction in revenues in the Bulk Division in the first quarter of 2009 to 29.9 million euros (a decline of 54.4% compared with the first quarter of 2008) reflects an activity slowdown (6 full time equivalent vessels less) and the sharp drop in freight rates (-78%)--the Baltic Supramax Index (BSI) average for the first quarter of the year is $10,875/day compared with the first quarter of 2008, when it averaged $50,265/day. Bourbon says its long-term contracting policy has enabled it to limit the effect of unfavorable trends.
During the quarter, the Bulk Division took delivery of two Supramax vessels, bringing the fully owned fleet to 7 units.
Offshore Division
The offshore market, with its strong medium-term potential, reflects the investment strategy of the oil companies and the trend in sustained demand by the large developing countries, is undergoing a period affected in the short-term by the following factors:
Low oil prices
Anticipation of a drop in day rates in response to a desire to lower customer costs
Availability in some markets (United States, Norway, etc.) and for some kinds of vessels (generally high end) of a number of units exceeding current demand.
Bourbon says its innovative, high performance vessels are reaping the benefits of a still buoyant market. They have a high utilization rate and are being well received by customers, enabling them to sustain prices. It says that in 2009
the Offshore Division should post growth at least in line with the average expected for the period under the company's Horizon 2012 plan.
Bulk Division
In the bulk industry, the caution of the players is reflected by the stable forward freight rates that guarantee a return on the contracts made on the vessels. The cancellation or change in delivery schedule for vessels under construction, the importance of demolition for old vessels and the end of merchandise destocking may have a favorable effect on future rates.
In the light of the knowledge we have today, says, Bourbon, "we do not believe , at the level of the market, that the positive contribution of the Bulk Division Activity is in doubt, even though its results will be significantly reduced."

Massey researchers zero in on Maori male diabetes
Chris Cunningham from the university's Centre for Maori Health and Development says while official statistics say Maori are twice as likely to contract diabetes as Pakeha, his research indicates the rate could be four or five times as much.
He says the research team is looking at fit, active young men so they can see when problems are likely to develop and what people can do to remain healthy.
Dr Cunningham says while men tend to be relatively healthy in their 20s, they may have diets high in fats and energy, so problems emerge when the get less active.
"We've all seen this, typically during your 30s you bloom, you become much bigger, and the result of that is developing diabetes and cardio vascular disease in our 40s and life expectancy somewhere in our 60s is the ultimate end point of that, so we are interested in understanding when the risk develops, what it looks like," he said.
Chris Cunningham says diabetes and related diseases account for most of the 10 year difference between Maori and non-Maori life expectancy.
A Maori academic and health advocate from Otago University is welcoming the most comprehensive study of the state of dental health in New Zealand in the past 20 years.
Dr John Broughton is also a member of Te Ao Marama, the Maori Dentists' Association.
The Health Minister Pete Hodgson has announced funding for the survey, which will involve 7000 participants from all sectors of New Zealand Society.
Dr Broughton says the survey is timely, and should result in dental intervention strategies for those most in need.
"It does provide concrete evidence that can lead on to targeted funding for intervention, and Maori providers can do this very well," Broughton said.
Senior Ngai Tahu weaver Ranui Ngarimu says the tribe's exhibition at Te Papa, is turning into a fantastic experience.
Mo Taatou opened last weekend, and Ms Ngarimu is part of part of a group of Christchurch weavers who are demonstrating their craft.
She says many visitors want to hear about the history of raranga in the South Island, and learn about the materials and techniques unique to Ngai Tahu.
Ranui has also been appointed to the board of Te Waka Toi, the Maori arm of Creative New Zealand.
Maori Affairs Minister Parekura Horomia says people need to look forwards rather than backwards.
The minister has come under fire for launching the government's new Maori potential framework in the same week a report came out identifying an increase in the poverty between 2000 and 2004, with Maori families being particularly badly affected.
Mr Horomia says that report was historical, and low unemployment, rising skill levels and demographic factors are contributing to a dramatic tranformation of Maori society.
"This will be one of the great, exciting and dramatic transitions for Maori. In the next two to four years a lot of our traditional keaders will pass on. Kara he karanga mate tera, it's going to happen, and with it goes a whole lot of traditional connections, with it goes a lot of that expertise in the sense of being from children who were brought up by grandparents from the old age," Horomia said.
A hui being held this weekend aims to lift the standard of whai korero on marae.
It's been organised by the former maori language commissioner, Timoti Karetu.
Te Panekiritanga o te Reo, or the pinnacle of the language, is at Hawke's Bay's Eastern Institute of Technology this weekend.
Professor Karetu says he expects a lot of younger speakers to attend as they are assuming roles on the paepae to compensate for a shortgae of te reo speakers in the 45 to 60 year old age group.
He says the invitation-only event is for confident speakers of Maori who want to take their language to a higher level.
"It sounds terribly snooty, but it isn't meant to be. It's for those who are committed to occupying those roles and assume them with a great deal ofr mana and panache. Whaikorero demands another level of language use, and that's why Te Panekiritanga was set up. It's for people who have a very good command and want to do up.another notch," Karetu said.
Dr John Broughton from Te Ao Marama, the Maori dentists' association, says while there's always room for more, he is encouraged by the numbers of Maori studying dentistry at Otago University.
He says dental health is still a major issue for Maori, and he welcomes a comprehensive survey on the overall state of dental health in New Zealand, which was announced yesterday by the Minister of Health Pete Hodgson.
Dr Broughton says Maori communities need to encourage rangatahi who show promise in the sciences to consider a careeer in dentistry.
But he's encouraged by the numbers currently enrolled at the University, where about 25 Maori are enrolled.

The retail packaging for the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin is anything but subtle! The flaming skull is going to stand out like a sore thumb on the shelves of your local shop. There is very little detail about the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin on the front of the retail package. There are a couple of key points like the Killer E2100, and the Creative X-Fi 20k2.
Unlike the front of the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin X58 motherboard, the back of the retail packaging is filled with marketing text and details about the GIGAGYTE G1 Assassin.
Opening up the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin we are presented with a second box all tricked out in camouflage. Nothing like building a little suspense!
Flipping open the camouflage box, we can catch our first glimpse of the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin X58 motherboard, within yet another box. At least we know that the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin is well armored for the battle of Fedex!
Removing the box containing the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin we are presented with the fourth and final box for the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin. This box contains the bundle and all of the accessories for the G1 Assassin.
The GIGABYTE G1 Assassin comes with everything that you will need to fire it up. There is a bridge for both NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire, as well as a bridge for 3-way SLI. GIGABYTE also included four SATA cables, two of which feature one end on a 90 degree angle. The rear I/O shield included with the GIGABYTE G1 Assassin features the G1-Killer logo and adds a little bit of flare the the typically bland back of the case. The 5.25″
Along with the manuals and driver disk, GIGABYTE also included some graphics, and a poster of the three G1 killers, Assassin, Sniper, and Guerrilla.

How exactly does a helicopter loose its entire tail section, rotor and all, then apparently fly away without leaving a single trace of itself other than said tail section?

Does anyone know what it was?
The (Stealth) Blackhawk Crash
The reason a stealthy version of the MH-60 Blackhawk crashed during the May 1 raid that killed Osama bin Laden includes the vortex ring state phenomenon, according to officials, but helicopter crashes in the Middle East are far from uncommon. Hot air close to the ground and the aircraft's proximity to the high walls of the compound could have caused that thin, hot air to be driven by propwash up the walls and then down through the rotor, causing the vortex ring state. With those conditions, the helicopter would have lost lift and settled with power, which is what officials say happened. The resulting hard landing immediately altered the original plan for SEALS to fast rope to the ground from a hovering aircraft. They fared better than they might have. In Iraq, only IED explosions and being shot by the enemy rank higher than U.S. helicopters for killing American soldiers, according to the Armed Forces Journal. And 80 percent of the helicopter accidents occur without the intervention of hostile forces. That said, the military helicopter crash rate is actually better than that of GA aircraft.
The non-hostile, non-combat accident rate for military helicopters currently stands near 2.1 per 100,000 hours while flying in some of the least hospitable conditions available to helicopters. Meanwhile, the accident rate for GA aircraft stands at 6.86 per 100,000 hours. The military helicopter pilots are most often brought down due to a combination of weather conditions and terrain. Night vision goggles have improved matters, but dust storms, brownouts caused by rotor wash, wire strikes and controlled flight into terrain are still problems the military and Congress hopes to better address. Proposed fixes include terrain avoidance avionics that would warn pilots of potential hazards. That specific technology would not have helped during the bin Laden raid, for which the mission profile put the aircraft in a hover at treetop level. Three-dimensional radar, also a proposed fix, penetrates brownouts and could have produced a synthetic image of the landing zone, but may not have saved the aircraft from vortex ring state.

Trevor decided to move from a non-profit to a for-profit to do more good in the long run. Was it the right call?
This is part of our series of profiles of people who changed their career in a major way in order to have more impact because of their exposure to 80,000 Hours.
I recently spoke to Trevor Shorb about how his career plans changed as a result of 80,000 Hours. After finishing university, Trevor worked in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and planned to work for an NGO in the developing world. But after reading our advice, he decided to gain skills in the private sector first, in order to have a bigger impact in the long run. Today Trevor does business development for an international education company in emerging markets in Latin America. He plans to start a non-profit or for-profit in the developing world in the future.
How and why did he make this transition? Read our interview with him to find out.
How did you find out about 80,000 Hours and effective altruism, and what were you planning on doing with your career before that?
I first became interested in effective altruism when I read "The Life You Can Save" around the time I graduated college and had committed to serve in the Peace Corps.
Before that I had undergone a fundamental change in perspective. Recruited to college to play lacrosse, I was fully dedicated to the pursuit of being the best and leading the team. A case of chronic Lyme disease led to multiple operations and much time spent in doctor's offices.

In two hours of reading, I knew more of the usage of TestNG and Mockito than after several days of Web crawling. Review by Francis Galiegue, from mailing list
Tomek does also a good job of not just pushing his own preferences in Java unit testing, but presenting the available choices either for test strategies or for unit testing tools.
I would recommend this book to every developer concerned by code quality, especially if you are working in a Java context. Franco Martinig, on Software Development Books site
Despite the Java/TestNG/Mockito orientation that the title might suggest, the book contains a high percentage of general unit testing knowledge that can be applied (mostly) independently of the language and tools that you are using.
This book is highly recommendable to all software developers interested in unit testing, particularly if you are working in a Java context. From Franco Martinig's blog
This book gives a lot of good, general advice on unit testing in general (and not relevant only to Java), but it also brings one very quickly in working order with its two proponent tools. In two hours of reading, I knew more of the usage of TestNG and Mockito than after several days of Web crawling. And I have learned how to do TDD (test driven development) correctly.
I liked the approach of the author to have an open view on unit testing and presenting all the available choices for testing strategies or tools selection instead of just pushing his own opinion. From review on Amazon.com site
[...] for those less familiar with testing and using TestNG and Mockito [...] this book is a totally must read as it gently introduces reader to world of proper unit testing using best tools available in Java world. Review by Tomasz Dziurko.
Bought only a few months after its publication (2012) I was delighted to find some very up-to-date content.
World would be better if every programmer read this book. The book focuses not only on the toolset which perhaps will be outdated very quickly but also/mainly on the OO design and testing principles. Review from Goodreads site

Formula for Success
Do you want to know the formula for success for bilingualism?
It's simple, although not always easy to execute.
input + need = success
In other words, the two factors that contribute to successful bilingualism are input (what the child hears) and the need to process and use it.
How can we provide input?
For a baby to acquire vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, he or she needs to listen, listen, listen. Besides putting musica, television, and videos in the target language, it is imperative that a large part of the input be from a human, in person. (See the video The linguistic genius of babies for more on this.) This is why it is so important that you sing songs, read books, and play with your baby in the target language.
¿How can we creat the need to use the target language?
Going back to the above, it is very important that a large part of the input come from face to face contact with another person (parents, relatives, care-givers, teachers, etc.) The more, the better.
A large volume of input will signal the baby's brain that this language is necessary to process and learn.
It is for this reason that many parents choose to follow the OPOL method in which each parent only speaks to the baby in one language, creating the need for the child to communicate in the language that corresponds to each of the parents. (Read the entry Confessions for more information about the different methods.)
The other side of the coin is insisting that the child communicate in the target language (in our case, English). Depending on the degree of bilingualism that you are looking to provide your child, this may mean that he or she has to speak to you in the target language all the time or maybe there are certain things he or she must say in the target language. If you have established some routines as we recommend, this will become increasingly more natural.
We actually do the same thing in the mother language to stimulate language development. Instead of giving the child her toy when she points, we insist that she ask for it with words. When she begins to ask for things by name, we begin to also insist upon a please.
We require increasingly more complete phrases, always providing input as a linguistic model. This same way of speaking can also be applied in the target language.
Useful language to insist upon communication in English
What do you want?
Use your words.
Do you want the…?
How do we say that in English?
In English, we say…
Sí, es una mariposa. It's a butterfly.
I don't understand. Can you tell me in English?
What do you say? (Please, thank-you, etc.)
Say, "Where's my baby?" [modelo lingüístico]
Remember to speak English with Mommy.
English chip in! Beep-boop-hello!
¿Qué quieres?
Usa tus palabras.
¿Quieres el/la…?
¿Cómo lo decimos en inglés?
En inglés, decimos…
Sí es una mariposa. Es a butterfly.
No entiendo. ¿Me lo puedes contar en inglés?
¿Qué se dice? (Por favor, gracias, etc.)
Di, "¿Dónde está mi bebé?" [linguistic model]
¡Chip de inglés insertado! ¡Bip-bup-hello!

I love beautiful stationary. I always have done, always will. I remember when I was a kid, I used to spend all of my pocket money on pretty pens, notepaper, cards and files in Paperchase. And then I discovered the internet. Now, I think the only hand written notes I send to people in the post are scribbled birthday cards I purchased last minute (only while I'm writing this do I realise that it is really awful that I don't put nearly as much care into choosing the card as I do choosing the gift) and brief thank you notes when I myself have received something in turn. I'd already resolved that as I am about to move half way around the world my friends and family will be hearing a lot more from me than usual via snail mail, and thanks to my discovery that Sugar Paper, Los Angeles have a store in walking distance (well, about 25 minutes) from my new apartment, that is going to make my resolution a hell of a lot easier.
Set Of 6 Pink Thank You Notes: $16, 'Hi There' Card: $6, Yellow & Pink Birthday Card: $6, Blue Calligraphy Birthday Card: $6, Set of 10 Monogrammed Notecards: $28
How pretty and unique are these cards? They do festive designs too, so I'm thinking I get a set of notecards to say thank you after Christmas and after my birthday, birthday cards for all my friends and family, and some general hello cards for little updates throughout the year?
Set of 18 Gift Tags: $24, Ampersand Art Print: $40, Los Angeles Print: $50, Pink 2013 Desk Calendar: $52
As well as notecards, Sugar Paper also do some pretty great alternative paper goodies. I always find it hard to find some cool and unique gift tags, and I'd absolutely love to receive gift embellished with one of these 'For You' cards. However, I'm stupidly tempted by one of their art prints for my new Los Angeles apartment (wither this Los Angeles text one, or this Los Angeles map print) and one of these card stand calendars for my desk at home once I return next July.
Where do you like to buy your stationary?
