Writing is a special action that we humans can only do (as far as I know). We have our own reasons for writing. For example, we write for fun or we are forced to write. Either way, writing still results into something basic:expression.
We usually express ourselves in different ways, but writing will always be a way where we can show who we are. The annual write day (I think that is the name, correct me if I am wrong) was yesterday October 20th. We read and discussed documents that related to the day. We read two different authors' writings, and both ended with a different reason.
One, I quote, stated "I write because I want to."
The other, "I write because it is like whispering to the one I love."
Both conclusions surprised me, but made me understand that writing has a special meaning. I personally don't like to write; however, when I get into it I usually keep going (leaving behind a trial of errors). For anyone who is reading, do you like writing? Why do you write? Comment down below and discuss with friends or family, and have a nice day.

text: Gender Equality Gender equality is a basic right for all people, including children. Save the Children believes that it is critical to directly address gender discrimination and promote gender equality in order to ensure no harm comes to children, and to advance our vision for a world where every child attains their equal right to survival, protection, development and participation. We recognize that gender inequalities create major barriers for sustainable development, and work to ensure all our programs identify and account for the different needs, abilities and opportunities of all stakeholders, including girls, boys, women and men. Save the Children further strives to utilize gender transformative approaches whenever possible, supporting meaningful and lasting impacts in the lives of children and adolescents through working with key stakeholders to identify and positively transform root causes of gender inequality for girls and women, boys and men. Explore Save the Children's Gender Equality Program Guidance and Toolkit Save the Children seeks to advance gender equality in all aspects of our work and across our organization, guided by the following 6 principles: 1) EQUALITY AS A RIGHT Gender equality is an essential component of a child rights approach, and of critical importance in the fulfillment of our organizational mandate. This principle is upheld by international standards articulated by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). 2) ADDRESSING ROOT CAUSES It is critical to identify and work to transform the root causes of gender inequality; this requires addressing social norms and institutions which reinforce gender inequalities, as well as advocating for and fostering legislation and policies that promote gender equality. 3) HOLISTIC APPROACHES Acknowledging that gender equality is about relationships, transformative gender approaches require working with whole communities, and at all levels, equally engaging female and male stakeholders in culturally-sensitive gender equality policy and program work. 4) MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION Girls and boys are active citizens. They must be equally engaged in dialogue around gender and have equal opportunity to participate and to promote gender equality. 5) INDEPENDENT & CROSS CUTTING Gender is both an independent area of focus, as well as a critical priority across our thematic areas of focus, global initiatives and breakthroughs. Gender equality must be a central focus across our work, as well as across all parts and levels of our organization. 6) COLLABORATION & LEARNING Integrating gender analysis in our research and work opens up new insights and innovative solutions to development challenges that would not otherwise be possible without a gender-focused approach. It is essential to foster and participate in communities of practice, collaborate with organizations and stakeholders working on gender, translate what we learn into practice, and to share learnings widely. Save the Children's Principles for Gender Equality Gender equality is a priority cross-cutting theme for Save the Children, and is imperative in order for all children, including those who are hardest to reach, to survive, learn and live a life free from violence. Video: Educate a Girl Learn about Child Early and Forced Marriage Gender and Health Guide To address the challenges faced by women, adolescent girls, newborns and children in receiving health care and access to information and decision-making, Save the Children developed a Gender and Health Guide for front line community health workers.

I saw a few reviews of the Desert Essence red raspberry shampoo/ conditioner on youtube, and they were all pretty good, other than saying that it smells artificial and sickly sweet. I didn't find that to be true, I actually think it smells really nice and fruity. I had used one other shampoo by this brand in the past and really enjoyed it so I had high hopes for this one too.
The shampoo has a nice lather and it feels like my hair is really clean afterwards, unlike some others I have tried. I only wash my scalp/ root area when I shampoo, letting the suds do the bottom half as I rinse them out...this is something my hair requires to keep the dryness and frizz at bay. What I love about this shampoo, is that it doesn't make my hair feel super tangly and stripped afterward,( although it is just a little tangly no matter what shampoo I use), but I also use conditioner on all of my hair besides the scalp and root.
The conditioner is my favorite of the two. For some reason I feel like there are more quality natural conditioners out there than there are shampoos. Is it just me? As soon as I apply it to my hair after washing, it feels very smooth and I can actually run my fingers through it while its wet! That's a win for me.
I am really satisfied overall with this shampoo and conditioner. Especially the conditioner! I think the shampoo could be a little more hydrating, but does a good job. I actually do see alot more shine on the upper part of my hair where I started using henna, because the rest of my hair is a little more course from where it was previously colored. I would definitely recommend it to someone who is looking for a natural shampoo to help their hair be a little more glossy looking.
Have you tried any of the Desert Essence shampoos and conditioners?
what did you think of them?

I write further to my letter to you of 19 March
2001 in reply to the letter dated 12 March 2001 from the Clerk
of the Environment Sub-committee to Dr Richard Sills, Chief Executive
of ENTRUST.
It is a measure of the seriousness with which
ENTRUST regards this matter that we have taken further legal advice.
In the light of that advice, ENTRUST wishes to respond further
to the Environment Committee.
ENTRUST recognises that the letter dated 27
February 2001 from Dr Sills to Dr Aickin should not have been
written in the terms that it was. It accepts that the letter constitutes
a contempt of the rights and privileges of the House of Commons
and its committees, although, at the time that the letter was
written, it was not appreciated that this was the case, ENTRUST
unreservedly apologises for that contempt.
Without in any way seeking to detract from the
seriousness of the contempt, for which ENTRUST corporately accepts
responsibility, I should explain the background to the offending
letter of 27 February 2001. In September 2000, ENTRUST first invited
Dr Aickin to join its Improvement Panel. The matter was progressed
and, in our evidence to your Committee, we reported this invitation.
Subsequently, on 23 November 2000, via an e-mail of a draft letter
to The Guardian newspaper, Dr Aickin informed ENTRUST,
that he did not intend to take up the appointment for the time
being. A further e-mail of 1 January 2001 indicated that he might
have changed his mind, but he took no other steps.
At a Board meeting of ENTRUST on 14 February
2001, for reasons unconnected with Dr Aickin's correspondence
with the Environment Sub-Committee (namely, concern that the budget
for the previous financial year of the ebco of which Dr Aickin
was Chairman was overspent, and that Dr Aickin was not in fact
acting as a member of the Improvement Panel), the Board resolved
to invite Dr Aickin to withdraw from the Improvement Panel (in
which he was not participating).
Unfortunately, the resolution of the Board was
not reflected in the letter dated 27 February 2001 from Dr Sills
to Dr Aickin. Instead, reference was made to a number of matters
including, entirely inappropriately, as ENTRUST now recognises,
a reference to Dr Aickin's "correspondence with the Select
Committee". That letter was sent in draft form to ENTRUST's
solicitors for review before being sent to Dr Aickin, with a copy
to your Clerk, Mr Huw Yardley
As I explain above, ENTRUST accepts corporate
responsibility for that letter and does not seek to hide behind
any breakdown in internal communication. It proffers a full and
unreserved apology to you and to the members of the Environment
Committee for the contempt involved in sending that letter to
Dr Aickin.
I add my own personal apology to you and to
the Committee. I understand that Dr Sills will be writing separately
to you with his own apology.
ENTRUST undertakes not to take, or to consider
taking, any action against Dr Aickin in consequence of the evidence
that he gave to the Environment Sub-Committee. The offending letter
of 27 February 2001 to Dr Aickin is withdrawn. On a positive note,
ENTRUST and Dr Aickin have had an amicable meeting to discuss
how we can work together for the benefit of the Credit Scheme.
As you have been informed, a joint statement in terms proposed
by Dr Aickin has been agreed as follows:
I request that you and your Committee accept
the full and frank apology that we have offered. Dr Sills and
I will attend before your Committee at 10.30 am tomorrow to apologise
in person for what has occurred.
The Earl of Cranbrook DSc DL
27 March 2001

Write a Technical Report
Budget kr1600-4800 SEK
I'm in need of a high level technical prestudy that compares Cloud Controlled Enterprise Network offerings from HP, Cisco and Huawei. More specifically Cisco Meraki, HP Aruba and Huawei WLAN.
The aim is to compare the following between the Network solutions:
- Architecture (what does the basic architecture look like)
- Cloud Control (is it a public cloud from the manufacturer, private cloud that you setup your self or something else)
- Control & Dashboard (what fuctions can you controll)
- Data (what kind of data do you get)
- Access (web, API, etc)
- Features (what features besides basic network access are available both included and as addons)
- Cost and business models (what are the hardware costs, license models and other business rules)
- Scalability (single tenant or multi tenant)?
We are basically looking at a quick comparison of the 3 different offers from these suppliers.
We think it will take between 10-20 hours to do the prestudy.
Documentation can be done in a short format just elaborating on the questions above specified per manufacturer.

Howard County workers moved quickly this week to register their opposition to County Executive Charles I. Ecker's decision to limit annual merit increases in future years. Mr. Ecker moved just as quickly to back off the decision, promising the limitation will be imposed for only one year -- at least for now. So goes politics in an election year, as predictable as the seasons but twice as fun to witness.
Backing off from his proposal to hold future merit increases for county employees at 2 1/2 percent annually, Mr. Ecker has taken an expedient course by trying not to anger employees. Still, this is not a major capitulation. It simply means that a cap on merit increases will not go forward this year.
Mr. Ecker can, of course, revisit the issue next year if he wins re-election this fall. For now, the executive is doing what he has done almost since taking office, imposing varying limits on merit increases each year. In fact, in his first recessionary year as executive, he eliminated merit raises altogether.

COMPETITION: Simply follow me on Twitter - @ChocMission and 'retweet' my review here today. Simple huh!? The winner will win themselves 3 of these Kit Kat Cookies & Cream and will be notified on the evening of Sunday 12th.
Back to the matter at hand, and I can inform you that these bars came billed as 'two crisp wafer fingers covered with milk chocolate and cookies flavour white chocolate' .... yes you read that correctly 'cookies flavour white chocolate' hmmm indeed! The small matter of £1.00 bought me an 8 bar multipack with the bars each weighing 20.8g. I haven't had two finger Kit Kats for a long while now but I certainly welcomed back the paper sleeve, silver foil combo used to wrap each of the bars.
Out their foil confines the scents of sweet vanilla greeted me as I broke the bar in half with the usual reassuring snap of the wafer. Based on my interpretation of the description I had a dreadful feeling that this might be a lazy invention by our pals at Nestle and unfortunately my fears were confirmed by the taste test. I'm afraid I thought the execution of the Cookies & Cream theme was poor at best with the white chocolate coating the majority of the bar simply boosting the sugary flavours of the usual sweet milk chocolate and dominating the mild malty wheat flavours of the wafer. The small hint of vanilla present was by no means enough to give it a sense of the taste being enhancing and by the final bite of the small bar I was getting that sugar induced hot, uncomfortable feeling at the back of my throat.
Overall I never like to put a downer on companies trying new things but Nestle got these Cookies & Cream bars all wrong. For starters I cannot see for the life of me where these bars justify the Cookies & Cream name - I don't actually see where the cookie aspect comes in to it at all? The white chocolate used here was frankly cheap tasting, overly sugary and resultingly depreciative of the other milk chocolate and wafer constituents. Sorry to say folks but in my opinion these new Kit Kat Cookies & Cream bars aren't great. You wont break your shopping budget giving them a try but I honestly wouldn't expect much. Share your views (and mine if you want to enter the competition!!haha!) with me on twitter @ChocMission.

Changing Seasons and Your Horse
Each season brings new delights, its own beauty and its own rhapsody. As summer slowly wanes Nature begins to influence flora and fauna, including our equine friends. Chilly mornings are beginning to capture the attention of the horse, domesticated or wild. Whether we consciously appreciate these things or not, the emblems of the seasons can positively influence equine health. God's design of nature satisfies the wild horse's seasonal requirements but, sadly, the domestic horse is often deprived of this benefit. Simply considering the natural requirements of our horses can help owners fulfill and understand this important yet seldom considered part of equine care.
Those poetically expressed "emblems of the seasons" found in prose are the sometimes unwanted, often unnoticed plants that spring forth during certain times of the year. It is not simply random fate that causes specific plants to present themselves at various times but rather there is a wonderful purpose in this. Consider the phases that horses experience throughout the year: In the natural state, the equine will breed in the summer with gestation lasting through to early or mid-spring at which time a new cycle ensures the continuum of the species. The mare is required to nurse her young for about a year's time and the foal must develop quickly during this period. Following the foal's weaning, the young horse will begin to mature sexually and continue to grow until it is four years old. Throughout each year, horses must also prepare themselves for the changing seasons. By putting on an extra layer of fat and growing a thick coat in the fall, horses ready themselves for winter. In the spring, they shed. The seasons follow the cycle of the equine with much needed natural resources to help in the rigorous changes that must occur in the animal's body.
Clearly, the horse's body makes enormous changes during certain times of the year. The thyroid, thalamus, lymph and reproductive glands must produce hormones necessary for seasonal body chemistry changes in the correct amounts at the right time. Without proper function during these times, the equine will experience hormonal disturbances, which can result in pseudocyosis, hypothyroidism, miscarriage, behavioral problems, etc. The medicines afforded by nature prevent these difficulties for the horse who is allowed this simple yet essential key to health - herbs.
In the spring and throughout the summer months good grazing as well as certain herbs are available to mares at the end of their gestation. Young red raspberry leaves, ivy, shepherd's purse, clover, marigold and nettle help tone the uterus, stimulate hormones and enhance milk production. Many of these herbs are found throughout the summer as well and have tonic properties beneficial to all horses.
Cleansing, toning, and stimulating herbs are usually seen from spring to late summer. Such plants include plantain, dandelion, burdock, sheep sorrel, garlic, wormwood, yarrow, mullein and wild pansy. These herbs cleanse and tone the lymph system, digestive tract, nervous system and immune system thereby helping horses stay healthy throughout the months when parasites and toxins are most prevalent. They also act as stimulants and equines will have better stamina and energy as a result.
External parasites are common in the warm months but horses seek out herbs to assist them in preventing this problem. Chickweed, plantain and mint are a few plants that equines will roll among in order to resist fleas, ticks, mites and other pests.
In the summer and early fall, horses require various nutrients to balance hormones through the duration of the breeding season and to prepare them for the winter. Chamomile, passionflower, valerian, hops and red raspberry leaves are excellent for mares in estrus and stallions used for stud. These herbs relieve much of the hyperactivity and aggression seen in mares in estrus, sexually maturing horses, and breeding stallions.
Alfalfa, tree bark, fall fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are eaten by horses in the fall and early winter. These have a positive effect on the immune system, cause necessary weight gain and stimulate hormones for a heavier coat. These foods are highly nutritious and help maintain your horse's health through the winter into the spring when nature's cycle starts again.
Various herbs prefer certain parts of North America and Europe but no matter what part of the world you live in, herbs that are beneficial to your horse do exist. A good, healthy pasture will not only contain grass but also seasonal herbs (weeds) and most of these should be encouraged. The attentive horse owner will take note of herbs beneficial to the equine and provide these as they were intended to be used. If your pastures and paddocks are healthy, you should find herbs growing at the appropriate times but in many cases they must be introduced for the benefit of your horse. Once herbs are established in a grass pasture they rarely require any further maintenance.
Although Nature provides the wild equine with beneficial herbs at just the right time, domestic horses require our initiative if they are to enjoy the health of their wild ancestors. It is not harmful for a horse to eat herbs out of season but it can be detrimental if they do not receive certain plants at all. Many of the behaviour and reproductive problems seen in horses are caused by hormonal imbalances. Allowing horses access to herbs that they naturally crave at particular times of the year can give their bodies the elements needed to prevent and correct hormonal problems. The equine that grazes daily will seek out and eat the plants necessary to keep themselves healthy and therefore this aspect of horse care does not require human intervention. However, in cases where your horse is not at pasture frequently enough to enjoy seasonal herbs, the owner should provide herbs as part of the daily diet. Learning about seasonal herbs and how they affect equines can help owners select the plants that their horses need throughout the year.
Veterinary medicine is a complex, scientific subject yet our horses know best what natural medicines they need. Through the ever-changing seasons the wild equine maintains health without the intervention of unnatural substances or methods. As we too enjoy the changing seasons for their own particular beauty, it should be remembered and understood that each passing equinox holds something vital for our horses too. If we take time to consider the horse's natural requirements our equine friends will have better health and contentment through every season.

Expectant Moms' Frequently Asked Questions
Labor and Delivery at California Pacific Medical Center
How soon do I need to pre-register?
You will receive registration forms from your physician or midwife to be completed and submitted to California Pacific Medical Center prior to your eighth month of pregnancy.
How many labor rooms are there? Are all the labor rooms private?
There are 21 labor-delivery-recovery (LDR) rooms, all of which are private.
Can you reserve a postpartum room in advance? How many postpartum rooms are available? How many of those are private? Semi-private?
Postpartum rooms cannot be reserved in advance. Because the majority of our postpartum rooms are private, you will most likely get a room to yourself. After the birth of your baby, let the nurse know if you would like a private postpartum room. Keep in mind that your insurance may charge extra for requesting a private room. In all, we have 52 postpartum rooms: 48 private and 4 semi-private.
Can my family/friends room in with me in the LDR and postpartum rooms? Can family/friends and my baby room with me if I'm in a semi-private postpartum room? Is bedding available?
Your family and friends may room with you in the LDR and cots and bedding are available upon request. They may also room with you in a private postpartum room. In both the private and semi-private postpartum rooms, your baby can room with you.
If I have a birth plan, when should I give it to the staff?
If you have a birth plan, discuss it with your doctor ahead of time to ensure that it is familiar and acceptable to you both. You should also bring additional copies to give to the OB nurse in reception upon arrival at the hospital.
Do I have to wear a hospital gown when I am in labor?
You may wear whatever is comfortable, provided it does not inhibit the birth or your doctor's ability to check on your baby. You may be most comfortable in our maternity gowns that are specially designed for labor/delivery/breastfeeding. If you opt to bring your own gown, please be aware that there are no personal laundry facilities available at the Women and Children's Center.
Is there an anesthesiologist available if I need an epidural?
Yes. The Women and Children's Center has an OB anesthesiologist available on-site 24 hours a day.
When does my postpartum stay begin?
Your postpartum stay begins after delivery of your baby.
Are cell phones allowed in the LDR and postpartum rooms?
Yes, cell phones are allowed in both rooms. Because some areas on the floor may not have cell phone service, you should be prepared to use the pay phones if necessary. If you desire, you can also have cameras, cassette players or CDs in the delivery room.
How soon after delivery will I get moved to the postpartum unit?
The amount of time before you are moved varies depending on your recovery but, on average, is about two hours after delivery. If you have an unscheduled cesarean section delivery, recovery time will differ.
Does California Pacific Medical Center have a security system for newborns?
Yes. Infant Security is taken very seriously at California Pacific. At the time of your admission (or prior), you can discuss specifics with your physician. In order to keep our policy secure, we choose not to print information about our security system.
Does my baby have to go to the nursery for test and procedures?
Most tests and procedures can be done in your room if you wish. However, if your baby needs to be taken to the nursery, you and/or your partner can accompany your baby.

Daniella plans to keep a blog of the whole experience at her website, which is here:
'Cudweed's birthday is coming up, and, like all small boys, he has big ideas and many lists about the presents he'd really like. Preparations for the party are in full swing at Otherhand Castle and the excitement is mounting. Sadly though for Cudweed, his parents, Lord and Lady Otherhand are definitely not keen on him adding to his collection of pets. Will he be disappointed, or will he get his heart's desire: a small but noisy monkey? And if he does get what he wants, will it be by fair means or foul?'
Out on July 1st 2011 in full colour, with two further adventures to follow, from Orion Books.
'A trip to the circus has far-reaching consequences for the Otherhands when Fellah goes missing. Before long the Castle is plagued by a duck, a suspect fortune teller, and several cartloads of lethal cabbages. The family is preoccupied: Valevine is busy inventing a cabbage-counting machine; Minty is waiting to hear the secrets of the universe; and Solstice has discovered that Cudweed is concealing three hundred and forty-two rabbits in his bedroom. When chaos strikes and thieves infiltrate the Castle, it falls to Edgar to extract his family from a very fluffy predicament.'
Lunatics and Luck was chosen by a panel of four charming and erudite young people who joined Marcus and Pete amidst the Blue Peter cats and dogs to discuss the creation of the book.
'Solstice and Cudweed are appalled to find their father has appointed a new school master. But things get even worse when the grumpy, viciously mean teacher actually arrives. The Otherhand children are sure there's something more to him than meets the eye - the trouble is, who will believe them? No one it seems. Except, perhaps, Edgar.'
'Ava is sick and tired of her parents always telling her what to do. Nag nag nag. Why can't she have the kind of parents that let her eat sweets all day? Or parents who never make her go to bed, or eat vegetables? Then she sees an advert for the Parent Swap Shop, and Ava knows it's time to trade in the old ones for a new and improved Mum and Dad.'
The Parent Swap Shop is out on June 2nd 2011 in full colour! From Orion Books.
'It's Halloween and the Otherhands are throwing a vampire party... with unexpected consequences! Luckily Edgar the raven is there to swoop to the rescue.'

Join us for a free educational webinar to get the most from your marketing and fundraising efforts.
We hear the term "thought leader" thrown about often, but what does it really mean? Here's a definition I like: Someone whose views on a subject are authoritative and influential. This is about becoming the de facto voice that people think of whenever your cause or issue comes up.
For instance, let's say you're involved in an Alzheimer's education organization. If someone hears a conversation about Alzheimer's while they're in line at Starbucks or over the water cooler at work, you want their next thought to be, "I wonder what [name of your organization] says or thinks about this?" Whatever the question is, your nonprofit should be their next thought.
There are many things you can do to become a thought leader in your field, but the most important thing to remember is this: Thought leadership is a commitment; it's not a campaign. It's about sharing your expertise through blogging, conversing with constituents and educating the community in an ongoing manner.
Here are three ways to establish yourself as a thought leader.
1. Commit to creating and posting great online content. This adds value to the conversation. If I'm interested in a topic that relates to your cause or mission and I find content (an article, a blog post or maybe a video) that affects my perception of this issue, you're on your way to becoming a thought leader. So number one, commit to creating and posting great content that will impact individuals who are interested in your cause.
2. Don't hesitate to be the established expert. Someone has to step up to the table and be the expert on the issues you raise—so why not you? Be confident and comfortable in that role. I'm not talking about just posting content on your website; this is also about going to forums and online discussions and contributing your thoughts as a representative of your organization. This will help get the word out that your organization is, indeed, the voice of authority on your cause.
3. Inspire action. You can do this by your words and the content you post, by your choices and how you relay information, and by how you carry on your conversations in the community. What do you want people to do as a result of learning more about your cause? Give them options on how they can actively support you. Thought leadership doesn't end at simply positioning yourself as an expert or educating people about what you do. Inspire them to get involved as well.
It doesn't matter what platforms you use to disseminate information—whether it's Facebook or Twitter, YouTube or your blog. Thought leadership success is about the wizard, not the wand. Consistently share your expertise through whatever means you choose, and you will eventually become the authoritative and influential voice.

The state of emergency, effective from 08 October 2016, comes as a result of about five hundred people being killed in protests in the Oromiya region surrounding the capital Addis Ababa and other parts of Ethiopia since 2015. This is, as reported, after anger over a development scheme for the capital sparked broader anti-government demonstrations over politics and human rights abuses.
Ethiopia is not new to Internet shutdowns with another Internet shutdown taking place as recently as July 2016 with the government stating that it took this drastic measure to prevent leakages during the national exams.
Internet Shutdowns Across Africa
At the recently held Forum for Internet Freedom in Africa 2016 in Kampala, Uganda a panel on the opening day discussed "Internet Shutdowns and Internet Rights" and asked the pertinent question - "Where do we draw the line?"
Panel on "Internet Shutdowns and Internet Rights" featuring Ephraim Kenyanito, Yosr Jouini, Arthur Gwagwa, Arsene Tungali and Wisdom Donko.
In 2016 alone, the panel noted, Africa has experienced Internet shutdowns or social media bans in several countries including Zimbabwe, Uganda as well as Ethiopia. Notably, these shutdowns or bans typically revolved around political unrest or elections.
Furthermore, as noted during the discussion, Internet shutdowns can cost a country's economy quite a substantial amount of money with the 2016 Uganda Internet shutdowns rumored to have cost the country $26 million considering it also involved the shutdown of mobile money services for several days around the 2016 Ugandan Presidential election period.
But what exactly is an Internet shutdown?
What role do telcos play during an Internet shutdown?
Are we perhaps overstating the severity of Internet shutdowns considering low Internet penetration rates?
$500,000 A Day
Technically speaking, and as witnessed across different countries in Africa and as discussed on the panel, an Internet shutdown usually involves a government's ministry typically issuing a letter or instruction to the telcos and mobile service providers operating in that country requesting they cut off Internet access completely (or specific services) to their customers.
In Ethiopia, it is even easier for the government to effect an Internet shutdown as the East African country has only one telecommunications company, Ethio Telecom, which is also state-owned and the only provider of Internet access in the country. This further raises the question of who should be entrusted with provision open and unfettered Internet access to citizens. That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, as Internet shutdowns come with a cost to a country's economy. Continuing with Ethiopia as a case study, is perhaps the impact and cost of the Internet shutdown exaggerated given that the country only has an Internet penetration rate of 2,9% (as per 2015 Freedom House Report)?
The second panel on Day 1 of the Forum for Internet Freedom Africa 2016 saw iAfrikan Contributor from Tunisia, Yosr Jouini, speak on a panel about Internet Shutdowns & Internet Rights. _____ #FIFAfrica16 #Uganda #Kampala #Africa #Conference #Internet #Freedom #InternetShutdown #HumanRights #Tech #Technology #Tunisia
Ethiopia Feedom of the Net 2015 Report
"This analysis suggests that the ongoing Internet shutdown in Ethiopia, a low-connectivity country with a population of 94 million and a per capita GDP of US$505, is costing its economy just under half-a-million US dollars a day in lost GDP."The economic impact of disruptions to Internet connectivity 2016 Report
The report sheds light on the impact on Internet shutdowns and illustrates that irrespective of low Internet penetration rates in country's like Ethiopia, the impact is still quite high given how the Internet is used in various economic activities.
Furthermore, it is encouraging to hear the United Nations Human Rights Comittee condemn Internet sutdowns in their recent resolution.
The United Nations Human Rights Council stated that it condemns unequivocally measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online in violation of international human rights law." Specifically calling on all States to "refrain from and cease such measures."

Our vision is to see impoverished communities take ownership in a sustainable healthcare model, so that they become empowered to bring about long-term change and tangible improvements in their health and quality of life. Our mission is to provide quality, affordable healthcare to people in need. We have developed a model that provides affordable healthcare to the communities who need it most and does not require ongoing support to keep the doors open.
Each OneWorld Health medical center offers a full scope of healthcare services to the community, delivered by trained nationals and offered at a price point that is affordable to the overwhelming majority of the population. Patient fees offset the costs of running the clinic, eventually meeting or exceeding the total monthly operating costs.
We are driven by the conviction that we're all created equal in the image of God, but not all of us are treated equally. We believe that where you are born should not determine whether you have the ability to meet basic human needs like healthcare.

British actor Jude Law has assured fans plans are in place to give Sherlock Holmes a third outing on the big screen despite ongoing delays.
The Alfie star has appeared as sidekick Dr. John Watson in two movies based on the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, opposite Robert Downey, Jr. as the supersleuth, and the last installment, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, hit cinemas in 2011.
Law reveals the whole "team" wants to reunite for a third movie, but plans have been on hold for a while due to scheduling conflicts.
He tells Empire magazine, "I think Warners (Warner Bros.) want it and there's a lot of want from us as a team. We want it to be better than the other two. We want to make sure it's smarter and cleverer, but in the same realm... It's a slow process (getting it together). We're all busy. So getting us together to try to nail that has taken a little bit longer than we had hoped."

WISCONSIN -- This place has gone to h*ll in a hand-basket. I hate going here which is bad because I had always loved this place. It's bad enough that their inventory system must be a monkey using an abacus. But now you can't go through the checkout without being confronted to buy their credit card. And for about 5 years now "can I have your zip code?". I'm giving you money, you're giving me stuff. That's how retail works. It's not a bank, I'm not there to take your survey. I avoid this place now unless I just can't find it anywhere else. Another new thing is trying to sell you an extended warranty - no **, they tried to sell me an extended warranty on a machinist-vise!
Ya, like I'm going to spend $12 to put a warranty on a $40 vise that will never break in a million years. Previous poster was right - every time I go there they have one more thing that they don't sell anymore to make way for the candy & crap. I see now they are cheapening down their power tools. Good tools was one of the few reasons I went there. Menards sells crap tools and now so does F&F. A great example: They sell Delta mortising machines - problem is they don't sell the bits for it anymore and the machine doesn't come with any. Real bright! Just for grins, go down any aisle and see how many hooks and shelves are empty.
The fun part is they put a little red dot to let you know how long they've been out of them - what a joke. They stock just as many 1/4" drill bits as they do 15/16" bits. Gee, no wonder they're always out of 1/4" bits. If I had a nickel for every time I went there and they were out of what I needed, I'd have enough money to buy this ** and make a store out of it. "Farm & Fleet - If they don't have it, you probably needed 2 of them." There, I feel better now. Time to run to Menards.

Cryptocurrency is a rapidly developing new financial market that has already reached over 500 billion in its overall market share. Learn the difference between Binance, Gemini, and Coinbase and which one is best for you as a cryptocurrency investor.
Cryptocurrency is a force to be reckoned with. In any coffee shop, gym, or board room in 2017 going into 2018, it was the only thing that anyone wanted to talk about. Whether in New York or Budapest, everyone wants to get in on the action.
The reality is that the wild stories of making 1000% percent returns in days aren't anywhere near gone, and now is the time for anyone interested to get involved. If you are curious about how to get involved, in this article, we will go over the need to know of which exchanges you must be a part of to become an effective crypto trader.
Let's get started:
Binance was founded in one of Asia's cultural hubs, Shanghai. It's lead by Chengpeng Zhao and the company Beiji Technology. It's known for having the fastest crypto exchange speeds out of all the exchanges available.
On August 2017, Yi He, the founder of OkCoin, joined the platform. She is one of the most influential and respected individuals in China's digital economy. Once she left OKCoin in 2015 and launched Yi Zhi Bo which is a broadcasting program, Binance exploded in growth by 2016.
Most investors have shown an increased level of interest in Binance since Yi He joined, and the exchange has increased by up to 40%
Also, Binance is known for having low transaction fees and its fast processing speed. For instance, it's known to process over 1.4 million transactions a second making it one a world leader in trade volume.
- Multi-Device Support: Binance is compatible with multiple web browsers such as WeChat, HTML 5, Android and other web platforms. Thus, making Binance more versatile than other exchanges on the market.
- Fast-Performance: Binance processes 1.4 million transactions and orders a second.
- Powerful Team: Binance is ran by Chanpeng Zhao. Mainly, the company has a team that's experienced in crypto finance and Wall Street; they also have a record of working with successful startups.
- Multiple Languages: Binance is supported in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
- Stable and Safe Interface: Binance has a multi-cluster and multi-tier architecture.
- Multiple Coins are Supported: Binance allows users to trade in multiple coins and altcoins such as BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), NEO (Neocoin), BNB (Binance Coin), and LTC (Litecoin)
- Proven Products: Binance is known to work on over 30+ exchanges, have multiple languages for international users and supports all devices which offer an easygoing and seamless user experience.
BNB Business Model
The best thing about Binance is that they have an intricate business model that has a whitepaper, an ICO, and a cryptocurrency backed behind it. The reason why people use Binance is not only because of those reasons but also because it has a reliable network and long-term plan business model behind it.
Most users tend to ask "Why does an exchange need an ICO?"
The correct answer is that they have a simple business model that has an easy to understand purpose without looking through complicated whitepapers. Since it doesn't use any complex mathematical formulas, users are able to find their token economics with ease.
Binance Coin is an ERC-20 coin that has a fixed supply of over 200 million. Out of its total supply, 100 BNB tokens are made and distributed through the ICO. One of the reasons Binance ahs an ICO is because it increases the development process while creating a fee incentivization for their users. That places everyone in a win-win situation.
The Verdict
We believe that Binance is the best exchange that's currently available. It's backed by an innovative team, has a good interface, and the ability to invest in multiple coins. Give this exchange a look if you're ready to trade within a reliable and supportive network.…

The IRS has released data from Form 5227, Split Interest Trust Information Return, for the 2012 tax year.

The IRS received 113,688 Forms 5227, down from 117,710 in 2011.

Split Interest Trust Data OneSheet (PDF)
The OneSheet presents a project description, highlights of the data, and selected figures.
Split-interest trusts make distributions to both charitable and noncharitable beneficiaries, while providing tax benefits to their donor. All split-interest trusts must annually file Form 5227, Split-Interest Trust Information Return, to report financial activity and determine if they should be treated as a private foundation. Based on the method and timing of distributions, split-interest trusts are divided into the following four categories:
- Charitable remainder annuity trusts—distribute income in a series of fixed payments to one or more noncharitable beneficiaries for a defined period of time, after which the remaining value of the trust is transferred to a charitable beneficiary.
- Charitable remainder unitrusts—distribute a percentage of the fair market value to one or more noncharitable beneficiaries for a defined period of time, after which remaining value of the trust is transferred to a charitable beneficiary.
- Charitable lead trusts—distribute a sequence of payments to a charitable beneficiary for a period of time, after which the remaining trust assets are transferred to a noncharitable beneficiary.
- Pooled income funds—allow donors to donate assets to a charity. The pooled assets are invested as a group and each donor receives income based on the ratio of his or her contribution to the total value of the investment pool. After the death of the donor, his or her prorated share of the investment pool is withdrawn and given to the charitable organization.
For information about selected terms and concepts, a description of the data sources and limitations, and links to recent revisions of Form 5227, please visit Split Interest Trust Study Metadata.
