At its 50th meeting on 6 December 1994, the Committee
heard a statement by the Permanent Representative
of Panama to the United Nations Office at Geneva in
which he indicated that the Government of Panama accepted
the offer of the Committee to send two of its members
to pursue its dialogue with the Government in relation
to the matters identified by the Committee at its
sixth to eleventh sessions.
The Committee expressed its appreciation to the Government
of Panama for its readiness and willingness to cooperate
with it.
The Committee held a discussion on various matters
relating to the organization of the mission to Panama
and agreed that:
- The Committee should be represented by two of its
members - Mr. Philippe Texier and Mr. Javier Wimer
Zambrano - and assisted on the mission by one staff
member of the Centre for Human Rights;
- The mission should take place preferably before
the Committee's twelfth session, ideally in March
or the beginning of April 1995;
- The precise terms of reference of the mission would
be further discussed by the Committee, keeping in
mind that the clear focus should be on the implementation
of the right to housing (Article 11 (1) of the Covenant);
this would not prevent members of the Committee from
accepting information on other matters which might
be relevant to the Committee's eventual consideration
of Panama's next periodic report but the members would
not be in a position to respond to, or pursue further,
any such information;
- The members of the mission should consult the Chairperson
of the Committee, and if necessary through him the
members of the Bureau, on any matter which, in their
view, might warrant such consultation;
- The members of the mission would agree in advance
on general guidelines governing their relationship
with the media. These would be designed to protect
the dignity and effectiveness of the mission while
acknowledging the inevitable and legitimate interest
of the media;
- One member of the mission, Mr. Texier, would be
responsible for the preparation, on the basis of agreement
with Mr. Wimer Zambrano, of a written report and its
submission to the Committee at its twelfth session
to be held from 1 to 19 May 1995;
- The confidential report should be considered by
the Committee in private and subsequently adopted
for public release;
- Significant assistance would be required from the
secretariat in the preparation of the mission, particularly
in obtaining and analysing relevant information. It
was agreed that the secretariat should seek inputs
from all relevant sources and should specifically
request any pertinent reports or other information
from UNDP, the World Bank, Habitat, ILO and other
such agencies, as well as from non-governmental organizations.
The mission will have to meet the government authorities
responsible for housing questions. It will also have
to seek the views of institutions liable to become
involved in housing problems in one capacity or another:
judicial authorities, national, regional or local
administrations, representatives of civil society
(non-governmental organizations, churches, universities,
etc.) and other qualified individuals or institutions.
It is also important that the mission should be able
to make on-the-spot visits, particularly to areas
where urban development schemes are planned, where
evictions have taken place or where housing conditions
are inadequate.
As the mission's two objectives are to gain a more
precise idea of the housing situation in Panama and
to pursue a dialogue with the Government and civil
society with a view to securing the best possible
application of the Covenant in the area of housing,
it will need to hold separate meetings with the Government,
representatives of civil society and individuals personally
affected by housing measures, so as to allow for a
free and open dialogue.
A precise agenda will have to be prepared before the
start of the mission, in consultation with the Government
of Panama, the Centre for Human Rights, the two experts
and possibly the Chairperson of the Committee, as
well as with bodies representative of civil society.

I had my job interview on Friday. I didn't really know what to expect, mostly because I've never done a culinary interview before, nor have I been to an interview where I already know I have the job.
There really wasn't much to the interview since B already knows me and my situation, so he pretty much just told me more about the job. He's going to hire me as a third cook, which sounds perfect for me. He also talked about all the different opportunities he's going to try to give me, like working in the restaurant, doing catering, even doing live cooking, like carving a roast or doing a pasta station.
The worst part about the interview was doing the Third Cook questionnaire. B didn't really care what my answers were, but I felt pretty stupid not knowing some basic things that I'm sure most cooks would know. The first question was about the order of certain foods on a rack. I didn't know the answer at all, so B explained that you would want raw meat to be on the bottom of the rack (to prevent leaks and contamination onto other foods) and finished products, like julienned carrots, to be on the top of the rack (as it is least likely to get contaminated being on the top). I also couldn't come up with what FIFO stands for, but then I knew it as soon as he told me (first in, first out). It all makes perfect sense in hindsight.
B told me to buy black shoes as part of my uniform and to invest in a set of knives for work. He also told me that my shifts would be mostly during the day, which made me really nervous about how I was going to coordinate that with my current job. I left the interview, and in fact, still am, very unsure about how everything is going to work out, but also with a huge sense of anticipation and optimism about what's to come.

The Origin of the Easter Week Traditions and Celebrations
The Easter week is that time of the year when Christians and Catholics remember the death and the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ. These people believe that Jesus, the son of God, sacrificed himself to erase all the sins of the people and then came back to life after three days in order to banish the evil. Christians and Catholics believe that faith in God and Jesus can lead them to heaven. You might want to know a thing or two about the Easter week to celebrate easter Monday 2019 to the fullest.
The term "Easter" came from the word "Ostara" which is an old pagan spring festival celebrated to honor a new life. It also came from an old pagan festival called "Ishtar" which is an Arabian sun festival. Ancient Christians then took over these festivals and changed the theme of new life into celebrating the new life of Jesus Christ. Easter is somewhat similar and dissimilar to Christmas. It is dissimilar to Christmas in a way that Easter celebrates both the death and the new life of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, it is similar to Christmas in a way that both celebrate the life of Jesus Christ.
Easter Week Traditions and Celebrations
Easter Week is celebrated somewhere between March and April because this is the time when Jesus died, somewhere in the Jewish Passover festival. The Passover festival started to be celebrated about 4,000 years ago when the Jewish people remembered when Christ saved them from slavery in Egypt. The date of this celebration is being followed by the Jews based on the cycle of the moon, hence the variation between March and April.Easter week is coming in April this time and will be good Friday 2019 the most awesome day.
Nowadays, the Easter period is celebrated in one whole week. The Lenten season officially starts during the Ash Wednesday which is 46 days before the first day of the Easter week. However, keep in mind that Lent is celebrated for 40 days because Sundays are not included. The Easter week then starts on Eastern Monday and the rest of the week follows the Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday, and Easter Sunday.
That is all there is for the Easter week origin of celebration. Share the knowledge you have learned to those who still do not know much about this on easter Monday 2019.

Reece Oxford has made eight senior appearances for West Ham United so far this season.
According to The Sun, Fulham are trying to sign West Ham United youngster Reece Oxford on loan.
Oxford is the Hammers' prized prospect, and the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are all said to be tracking the England youth international.
However, West Ham are understood to be determined to keep hold of the 17-year-old and would rather he left temporarily than permanently.
Oxford is keen to get first team football, but Slaven Bilic has been cautious with utilising the youngster.
The Croatian boss has played the academy graduate in eight matches this season, with his performance against Arsenal being particularly memorable.
Fulham are hopeful of agreeing a deal for Oxford, though, as they feel they could give him regular action.
The Cottagers are currently in 19th place in the Championship table, and they feel that Oxford would add steel to their squad.

|Manjaro: User-Friendly Arch Linux for Everyone
Arch Linux has never been known as a user-friendly Linux distribution. In fact, the whole premise of Arch requires the end user make a certain amount of effort in understanding how the system works. Arch even goes so far as to use a package manager (aptly named, Pacman) designed specifically for the platform. That means all that apt-get and dnf knowledge you have doesn't necessarily roll over.

The fall fashions are arriving in the stores daily, and it's not surprising that prices are up. Depending upon where you shop, you'll find increases of anywhere from 10 to 25 percent.
Prices have jumped, but there is a way to beat the system, especially when it comes to designer fashions. You can look as if you're wearing expensive designer outfits. And do it at a fraction of the cost.
Before we tell you how, let's take a look at a few fall separates and their price tags. Take Ralph Lauren's wool sweater-jacket at $600 worn with a wool skirt at $295 and broadcloth ruffle blouse at $210. Then add accessories such as a silver buckle belt, $220, and leather boots, $300. Total cost: $1,625. (Sounds more like a couple of mortgage payments.)
Now for the good news. It is possible to look as if you have a wardrobe of designer clothes and do it without breaking the bank.
The first thing to do is check out the better fashions and get a feel of what designers are doing in fabrics and styles. Then you'll be able to recognize launch is copied down to affordable prices. (Excepting beaded gowns where hand work is involved.)
These copies, as it were, can be bought anywhere from the moderate sections of department and specialty stores, to discount stores and boutiques that carry their own labels.
Happily, many of the American (and some European) designers have special signature lines, marketed to the masses, priced at $50 and up. For example, Geoffrey Beene has Beene Bag, Bill Blass has Blassport, and Anne Klein has Anne Klein for New Aspects.
In Anne Klein's new line, there is a blouse tagged at $60 which can be teamed with a matching skirt at $70. These separates are done in Silkessence, described on the tag as "the closest thing to silk that isn't." If one were to buy a crepe de Chine blouse from Klein's couture collection, it would be $130 and the skirt, $120.
Or, if you were looking at evening things, an ankle-length velvet skirt with a Blassport label would be about $120 and a coordinated polyester blouse about $ 58. A long, velvet skirt from the Bill Blass collection would be about $800 and silk blouse about $400.
as far as dresses are concerned, it's not unusual to see almost line-for-line copies. This season Lady Carol did a black polyester georgette dress with tucked bodice and crisp white collar at $58. It looked like a $300 Albert Nipon. Granted, the quality fabric and worksmanship weren't there but the styling was.
If some of these prices still seem too high to you, let's get down to some real finds.In a nationwide discount store, I nabbed a colorful cotton jacket at stores for $100.
In a famous Boston basement store. I found a pair of poplin-like Liz Clairborne culottes at $16 that a fashion editor friend bought upstairs (the same day) for $56. (I still can't figure out what was wrong with mine.)
For those too busy to shop for bargains, the next best thing is to shop sales. The major ones are at the beginning of June and December. Before you buy anything be sure to ask yourself where you're going to wear it. Impulse items often bomb when you try to work them into your wardrobe.
Still another idea is to zero in on the personal shopping services. In most cases, the service is free in the department and specialty shops that offer it. The fashion consultants claim they like the challenge of working with women on a budget.
Whether you're shopping yourself or getting help, keep one thing in mind . . . simplicity. Fashions that are free of frills and are done in dark colors look more expensive than the brights. By the way, it's best to stay with one or two basic colors. This gives more versatility. If you like brights, use them in small doses for such things as belts and scarves.
Some of the best dressed women in the world stick to this rule. Occasionally they might go wild and buy a dramatic red gown.
Halston, America's most famous designer, who dresses countless celebrated clients such as Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, and Lauren Bacall, says wearing a red gown is a "drop dead" way to make an entrance at a party.
Next, if you're a home sewer or you knit, there's still more good news. We're headed into a big sweater season. You can knit a sweater yourself for about one-third of the cost you'd pay to buy one. Prices run the gamut from $20 to $100 depending on size and the quality of yarn.
Home sewers will be happy to hear that more and more designers are working with the pattern houses. At a recent breakfast for fashion editors, the Simplicity Pattern Company announced the introduction of new patterns by designer Adolfo. (He's one of the 10 whose patters are featured in Simplicity's catalog.)
The fact is, the most famous designer suit of the year, worn by Nancy Reagan, is now available. It is pattern No. 5193. The First Lady's braid-trimmed cardigan suit sells for 1895. You can make it for $40 to $80, depending on the size and the quality of the wool.
Almost anyone would recognize this suit, which was a spinoff of Mlle. Chanel's famous suit of the '20s. But for the people who don't read the fashion magazines, there are some specific things that Seventh Avenue is showing. Once you've learned them, it'll help you with your shopping.
This season watch for:
* Albert Nipon's tunic dresses.
* Ralph Lauren's tweed jackets.
* Perry Ellis's sweaters.
* Calvin Klein's smock dresses.
* Oscar de la Renta's dinner suits.
* Geoffrey Beene's coats with matching trousers.
* And wraps (once known as shawls) by almosy every designer.
It's important to note that a sense of fashion or a knack for it is a great plus in beating the fashion system. If you feel you don't have it, study the fashion magazines. They're a great way to learn how to team colors and also how to accessorize.
And, finally, remember that grooming is part of the total picture. More and more fashion consultants include beauty tips in their lectures these days. They cover everything from coiffures and cosmetics with their collections.
It makes good sense. As one fashion designer said, "Nothing dates today's fashions faster than yesterday's face."

Less that one week after going on sale via its own e-commerce site, the 900MHz version of OpenMoko's Neo FreeRunner Linux phone has sold out, but don't despair yet as more are on the way.Full story »
10 years 5 weeks 5 days 16 hours ago
They will never learn...
They made the same mistake as with the dev release, it's better to have too many in stock than too few.
Now they are looking like idiots as the rest of us who wants one has to wait "within a few weeks"
10 years 5 weeks 5 days 12 hours ago
Not As Bad As You Think
If they sold out, it probably mean that the openmoko company made a profit. Profits are essential for continuing operation, expand, and survive the worst economic conditions.
Sure, they underestimated demand, so it may mean loss of profits. But estimation of demand is probably a difficult science.
On the other hand, if they have too much phones in stock, that mean they're not making enough money and risk their operations being shut down. There is a delicate balance that they have to reach.
It is not about making lot of money, but rather economic necessity.
If you want the free phone movement to succeed, you need to be pragmatic in approach. In other words, not burning through your capitals that you can't survive the next day.

The Cadillac Escalade is the big hoss of GM's luxury lineup. It's more than just the high-falutin' version of the Suburbans, Tahoes, and Yukons that almost rival it for luxury fittings; it's probably the most recognizable Cadillac on the road today, thanks as much to its beveled edges to its imposing stance.
Available in base, Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum configurations, the Escalade goes from well to lavishly-equipped with the tick of a few option boxes.
The Escalade earns an impressive 7.7 on our overall scale thanks to its comfort and surprising performance. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
There's no question that the Escalade boasts more bravado than just about anything else to ever hit the road, but this latest SUV is far more luxurious, refined, and capable than ever before.

Climeworks builds first commercial scale CO2 capture plant21.10.2015 08:05
Today the ETH spin-off company Climeworks AG, provider of solutions for efficiently capturing CO2 from ambient air, announced to construct and operate an industrial scale CO2 capture plant, which will worldwide for the first time sell atmospheric CO2 to a customer.
The plant will be operational by mid-2016 and annually capture 900 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere, enhancing the growth of vegetables und lettuce in a nearby greenhouse of Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG by up to 20 percent. The plant, which will be constantly delivering CO2, is constructed as part of a three-year pilot and demonstration project with Gebrüder Meier and Zweckverband Kehrichtverwertung Zürcher Oberland KEZO (a municipal waste disposal company) as project partners. The project is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE).
Costs of EUR 3 - 4 million
The main goal of the project, with development and building costs of 3-4 million EUR, is to industrialize Climeworks' unique Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology and continuously operate an industrial scale plant that captures CO2 from ambient air. Another goal is to determine the plants' operational costs, which is currently controversially discussed in the research community. This is an important finding in order to define business models for implementing the technology internationally.
The plant will be installed at the waste incineration facility of KEZO, in Hinwil (Canton of Zurich, Switzerland), which is subsequently powering the DAC plant with heat and electricity. The high purity CO2 product is then delivered to a neighboring greenhouse operated by the Gebrüder Meier Primanatura AG. The gas is injected into the greenhouse atmosphere in order to enhance the growth of vegetables and lettuce by up to 20 percent.
The project is a crucial milestone in supporting Climeworks' vision to close the carbon cycle due to the fact, that it allows a technology transfer from a novel technology originally developed at ETH Zurich and EMPA for industrial application. Furthermore, it will deliver reliable mass and energy balances as well as economic data as basis for further Climeworks systems on industrial scale.
Further industrialization
Based on the results of this project Climeworks' product will be further industrialized to eventually supply air captured CO2 to Power-to-Gas / Power-to-Liquids technologies to efficiently store renewable electricity by producing synthetic fuels. These fuels, produced from atmospheric CO2, water and renewable electricity are carbon-neutral and not in competition with food production for agriculture.
Climeworks' technology enables a closed carbon cycle, where CO2 emitted from any source or even the past can be captured and re-used for the production of carbonneutral fuels. In the short-term Climeworks' technology shall be used to supply CO2 for beverage companies, currently receiving its CO2 majorly as waste product from industry, in turn stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels.

With New Jersey's entire delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives on the November ballot, voters might want to see how much taxpayer money they spend and how they spend it.
Halfway through the year, the state's 12 House members had spent $6.2 million, an average of $516,000 each, on staff salaries, mailings, travel, and other expenses, according to data from LegiStorm's Official Congressional Expenses database. That represented just 41 percent of the total amount they are allotted.
If last year is any indication, they are likely to get closer to their budgets by the end of the year. In 2015, the database shows the dozen representatives had nearly $14.1 million in expenses, almost 95 percent of their allotments.
That's slightly more frugal than the House as a whole. Overall, congressmen spent about $534 million on their office and travel expenses last year, just 4 percent under budget. Only one congressman, Texas Republican Rep. John Carter, reportedly spent his full budgeted allotment. Democrat Albio Sires, who represents the 8th District that includes parts of Jersey City and Newark, came closest in New Jersey, spending 99.88 percent of his budget, ranking him 13th nationally.
Sires, a 10-year congressman, also spent overall the most of the state's representatives — nearly $1.25 million in 2015. The most frugal member of New Jersey's delegation was Rep. Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, a Republican representing the 11th District in Morris County. He spent just under $1.05 million, less than 85 percent of his budget.
So far this year, the two men hold the same spots, with Sires having spent nearly $555,000 through the first two quarters of the year, while Frelinghuysen is about $100,000 behind him in spending.
Staff compensation is the biggest portion of the representatives' budget, typically accounting for about three quarters of the total. Office rent and expenses eat up about 8 percent and franked mail — those newsletters and other correspondence mailed to constituents — is about 4 percent of the total. Travel costs, including that allowed for congressmen to go to and from Washington, accounts for just 2 percent of a House member's budget.
In the first 5 1/2 years of this decade, New Jersey's delegation -- including past members and going back to the time when the state had 13 representatives prior to reapportionment -- has spent close to $100 million on expenses.
Expense allowances of about $1.25 million for New Jersey representatives are provided so members can operate offices, serve and communicate with constituents, and get to work in Washington. In the House, the Member's Representational Allowance varies based on the number of homes in the district and the distance from the farthest point in the district to Washington. This year, that amount ranges from $1.17 million to $1.8 million per representative. That is in addition to the annual $174,000 salary a member of Congress receives. The total 2016 allowance is 1 percent more than the 2015 amount.
Money in members' allowances that is not spent is returned to the US Treasury after two years, according to the House.
This year, the House increased the ease of transparency by posting quarterly expenditures of members both in pdf and searchable database format. NJ Spotlight has put that data into a searchable database. It also includes 2015 data provided by the Sunlight Foundation, which had put the reports into an easier-to-analyze format prior to the House's action this year. It includes all spending reported so far from January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 by individual item.
LegiStorm analyzed the spending reported so far this year and found eight of 10 of the top spenders nationally are Republicans, and GOP members, particularly those in vulnerable districts, were spending more on mass mailings in this election year. Prior analyses have shown that representatives tend to spend more of their allowances on franked mailings to constituents, who are also voters, during election years. Although franked mail cannot be used overtly for campaigning, members can legally talk about their goals and accomplishments in such mailings, which are paid by tax, not campaign, dollars.
On the whole, New Jersey's GOP members spent more than their Democratic colleagues in the past 18 months. Five of the 12 members from both parties spent a greater percentage of their budgets on franked mailings in the first half of this year than in 2015. All of them — Republicans Frelinghuysen, Scott Garrett, and Leonard Lance and Democrats Donald Norcross and Bonnie Watson Coleman — had primary opponents.

Did you know a new Star Wars movie was about to
open? Probably not. Hasn't been much hype or anything so it's understandable if you missed it (if you were living under a rock).
Personally, I've always enjoyed Star Wars (though I didn't much care for Yoda because he sounded too much like Miss Piggy to me). As great as the technology is in those films, the important part, the part you feel and remember, is the storythe "content."
The Force is Content (not technology)
I bring this up because techno-focus a common problem with many people building web sites, too. So when I hear people say stuff like, "Well, you must hand-code your HTML, otherwise your site is just no good," I want to use the delete key on them in ways not covered in any users' manual.
It doesn't matter if you don't know a <P> from a <BR>. What matters is that you have something to SAY, and that you use the web to say it in the way that will make it the easiest and most effective for the most people to access.
I also don't care how you create your site. I personally believe in using whatever power the computer has to do the most possible work for me. That way I can spend the most time and effort on what that site SAYS.
I use NetObjects Fusion. If you like something else better and think it can do the job faster, then use it (and tell me about it, because I've tried everything and still find NetObjects Fusion the best).
The bottom line iswhatever you use, don't get bogged down in the technology. It can be fun or frustrating, terrific or terrifying, but if you use the technology
properlyit should disappearand people should see right through it to your content.
I'm trying to personally answer each and every person who answered eFuse's "What Bugging You questionnaire" (answer it and get a free font). If I haven't answered yours yet, don't worry, I will.
I'm learning a lot by doing thislike finding out how nice you FuseLetter readers are (which shouldn't be a surprise), and also
how many good ideas you have for what you'd like to see in eFuse.com and the FuseLetter. Remember if you have ideas, comments, or suggestions, you can email me any time at firstname.lastname@example.com
Want to learn how to use some of NetObjects Fusion's finer features by one of the web's finer teachers? You don't need a black belt in Fusion to learn from martial arts master Rick Tew. He gives you simple, clear, step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. Also included are Fusion template files you can download and use, and even even animated screen tutorials!
Lights, URL, Actions!
Tewtorial #1 shows you how to make text appear when you move the mouse over a particular object. Tewtorial #2 teaches you how to make different graphics appear in the same place when your site visitor passes their mouse over different text. You've seen this on other web sites and probably wondered how to do it yourself, and you'd know what I was talking about if you just read it. In
NetObjects Fusion there's no programming, no JavaScript, no coding. Just point and click your way to slick interactivity. To find out howvisit our new Tewtorials right now.
You've heard about copyrights and you have this nagging feeling that they might just apply to you and your Web site. Well, they do. And if you don't know the basics, you could get in trouble. Mary Carter gives you an easy-to-understand guide that can keep you out of hot waterand protect your "intellectual rights" (see, already you're an intellectual!).
With e-mail, you can reach thousands of people with one click of the mouse. Everybody knows that, but not
everybody knows how to do it effectively, how to get results, and how to avoid pissing off lots of people you've never met, one of whom might contact your ISP and have you shut off. Phil Philcox, author of 1,200 articles and 45 nonfiction books, tells you how to "harvest" e-mail addresses of people who might be interested in his services. How do I know his system works? He e-mailed me, and that's how he was hired to write this article!
I've been asking people to suggest specific markets that
we could design templates for. So far, the #1 request has been for the "health care" (a.k.a. Medical) field. Gary Priester creates a clean, uncluttered design that's soft, rounded and personable. The background is subtle, with large "sign-like" international icons. The buttons are "mouse-sensitive" which means that when your mouse goes over them, they changeautomatically, no programming involved. The template includes Bitstream's Handel Gothic, a distinctive modern typeface used on
buttons and banners. NetObjects Fusion automatically turns these into graphics, so that everyone can see them. Since Fusion generates this text, when you rename pages, the graphic buttons and banners automatically update. Click here to see the actual site.
I'll make this briefdon't use Java on your home page unless it's absolutely necessary. Even those mostly-pointless "ticker" applets can add a lot of time to loading a page for people who don't have the latest, fastest computers. I've yet to see any page that desperately
needed Java on the home page, or maybe I've just left too many pages that load to slowly to see one... but even so, that's kind of a clue, isn't it?
Tip: If you're designing on a laptop, or a computer with an LCD screen, remember that your colors are going to look
much lighter than they do on a traditional CRT. So you may have found what you think is a very tasteful creamy color, and people with a CRT are going to see it as a somewhat garish yellow.
The only way to solve this problem is to view your designs on both an LCD and a CRTas if there wasn't enough to think about.
http://www.freemerchant.com - Here's something I haven't tried myself, but it sounds good! Freemerchant gives you a relatively complete Web store including a product catalog, shopping cart, and store-building tools, plus site hosting and credit card processing services all free of charge. (You still need a merchant account, and may also need a Cybercash account, and those things are not free).
The company is supported by banner ads at the bottom of every Freemerchant Web store, and by commissions paid by Freemerchant partners for customer referrals. It's an interesting idea.
Looking for more free NetObjects Fusion SiteStyles? If so, visit RedLeaf. You just have to sign up for their newsletter to get a whole passel-o-styles. Some have holiday themes, some are business-oriented, and all are nicely designed.
Last but not leastI'm looking for a few good readers who want to become writers. If you have something to say about web design, web production, or web promotion, email me at and let me know what you'd like to write about. I can't promise I'll accept every offer (hey, this is the real world we're talking about), but I am always interested in what you have to sayand if others might be
interested, too, then I'm happy to have you contribute.
That's it for now. Live long and prosper (oops, wrong "Star" movie)!

This was announced by Social Policy Minister Andrii Reva, Censor.NET reports citing 112 Ukraine.
"I would like to point out that complete termination of goods exchange from non-controlled areas is economically wrong today as it depends on many exterior factors. If we speak of nuclear energy, stopping purchases of fueling elements for our nuclear plants from Russia will lead to grave consequences. Westing House, a supplier of fuel for our nuclear plants, does not cover our needs in full. We also have a coal problem," Reva said.
Reva said the government has created a basis for negotiations with the participants of the blockade.
"I am certain that people who are there, they are also patriots of Ukraine, and the situation hurts them as well. I hope we will find common sense to solve this issue," he added.
Yesterday, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the procedure for movement of goods into or from the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) area.
On Jan. 25, anti-terrorist operation (ATO) veterans blocked the Luhansk-Popasna haul, launching a trade blockade of the occupied Donbas areas. The movement of 12 trains with a total of 700 cars has been barred.
Later, Deputy Minister for the Occupied Territories and IDPs Heorhii Tuka said the decision to launch trade blockade was extra-legal. Minister for the temporarily occupied territories and IDPs Vadym Chernysh spoke against possible ban on commodities delivery across the contact line in the Donbas: "We need to be able to deliver coal, otherwise we will face problems throughout the country."
On Feb. 2, participants of the trade blockade barred another railroad track near Bakhmut.
On Feb. 27, separatist websites published a joint statement by the leaders of the so-called "republics" "DPR" and "LPR. " They demanded that Kyiv lifted the blockade by March 1, otherwise Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky promised to take over the enterprises that remain Ukraine-run and stop deliveries of coal to Ukraine from temporarily occupied territories.

Resolutions for some, goals for another.
|Ferg's goal for the year is to really take time out to relax more.
Oh, how I love a new beginning.
I like a new page in a journal; ahhh... the smell of paper.
I like a new pen.
I like burning a new candle. (I don't buy 'em to save 'em.)
I like taking the first scoop out of the jar of peanut butter. (You people who leave the foil lid on the peanut butter and don't rip it completely off SLAY ME. Take.it.off. It doesn't belong there beyond the initial opening. It is not going to protect your peanut butter from getting stale.) JUST COMMIT.
I digress.
With 2017 around the corner, I figured I'd share with you some of my goals for the new year.
I prefer goals to resolutions. New Year's Resolutions sound so... formal. Resolutions seem very serious with hardcore consequences if the resolution is not kept. "I resolve to give up sugar or else I will go before a judge and a jury of my peers and be convicted for not having followed through on my resolution.
And then I will be flogged because I ate some nutella. And dark chocolate. And cookies."
Who needs that?
So here are a few of my goals.
1. Use my Nikon DSLR more often.
No kidding, you guys. I went to take pictures of this past Christmas (2016) on my little red Nikon and the last time I used my "nice" camera was Christmas 2015. Yep. Our Christmas 2015 and our Christmas 2016 photos were back to back on my photo card.
Get off the iphone, get on the Nikon.
2. Read (and complete) at least one book a month.
I LOVE to read. The girls are older; I can spend less time on netflix and more time on my kindle. (Find me on goodreads.)
3. Blog 2-3 times a week. And, finally switch this blog over to wordpress.
I miss this space so much. Sure, people's attention spans have shrunk to just second-long messages (snapchat), but I'm confident that there are still people out there who like to read blogs AND use snapchat filters. Right?
No matter what. I've been writing this blog since May 17, 2016 (um, more than a decade) and I shant think I should stop now.
4. Communicate with my inner circle and closer friends more frequently. Be present with them.
They're the ones who matter. I feel like last year I let some relationships go. I stuffed my life full of other stuff and I'd like to go back and re-engage.
"Imagine a circle.
In that circle draw the people who matter the most: your husband, your partner, your children.Then draw another circle around that inner circle and in that circle add your parents, your siblings, your close family. The people you turn to in an emergency.
Then draw another circle and these are your besties, your peeps, your crew, your squad, if you're Taylor Swift.
Then draw another circle around that. These are your co-workers, your clients, your customers, the people you're trying to expand your business to, the other moms in the "mom" group, the "friends" who always seem to need something from you. There are the people you're on boards and committees with. These are the people you wouldn't invite to your house for Thanksgiving.
Next, evaluate who is getting most of your attention...
In my world, it was my outer bands, not my inner circle. I was kind of ignoring my sweet little circle that makes me the happiest. And it's easy to do this! Why? Because I know they'll still love me, even if I ignore them. But it's time to reverse my behavior; it's time to focus on the people who MATTER FIRST, and then... with my leftover time, work on those other relationships.
(See the rest of that post here.)See, the ones who matter should get the best of us, not the worst.Am I right?"
5. Listen to music more often.
Do I really need to be listening to NPR and podcasts all the time? No. I need more music. We're pretty good about limiting our TV time and really limiting the girls' screen time. ("Go outside. Go play. You're bored? Come here, I'll give you something to clean / organize."), but we need to incorporate more music. When the music is on, we're all more calm. So, more music it shall be.
Just last week I was introducing the girls to Dolly Parton. They loved her. (Who doesn't?) It's my responsibility to ensure that they love the classics. Lionel, done. Dolly, next.
6. Learn to do a handstand.
I want to work on my crow and handstand. I will not, I repeat, will not attempt a cartwheel.
7. Write in the girls' journals more frequently.
I started journals for the girls when I found out I was pregnant. I've hardly written in them at all for the past couple of years. I need to be jotting down the funny things; the little things I want to remember.
8. Play with girls.
Yep, play with them. When I was reading the 5 Love Languages of Kids I realized that I wasn't showing my love to them in the ways that they need. And PLAYING with them BEFORE I need to get my stuff done makes them happy, shows 'em that I love 'em, and then I can get what I need to finished without any anger. Boom.
9. Keep dating Craig.
I love that man and he needs to be a priority. Even though he's #9 on this list, he's #1 in my heart.
Craig, you know I'm serious.
10. Learn to do a proper and good looking smoky eye.
My current smoky eye attempts are sad and unfortunate. I need help.
And... that's about it.
I'm a huge believer that habits can be formed and intentional living is possible. I want to continue making my health and fitness priorities. The exercise thing? It's part of who I am now. It's my therapy. I do need to clean up my nutrition a bit; but at the same time, I'm going to continue practicing mindful, GUILT FREE eating. A chocolate bar is not a sin. It's delicious. I will eat one (not four) and enjoy it.
So, how about you?
