Malawi came under democratic leadership in 1993 which brought with it a new era of stability after the dictactorial rule of Malawi's first independent prime minister and president, Dr Hastings Banda. Historically a key country on the slave trade routes, Malawi was visited by the explorer David Livingstone in the 1850's and his contribution to the abolition of the slave trade is noted by Livingstone memorials in many of Malawi's towns and villages. Nicknamed 'the warm heart of Africa' Malawi's native population is well known for its friendliness towards visitors. The beautiful country is scenically varied with spectacular mountain ranges, vast nature reserves and national parks to explore, making it an ideal destination for backpackers.
Malawi has a tropical climate with its dry season lasting from April until October. The dry season brings with it unbearable heat but the conditions are less oppressive from May to July although this does mean wildlife is less frequently spotted around the visible watering holes of the national parks. Temperatures vary between the highlands and lowlands with high humidity in the lowland regions and night time temperatures below freezing point in the highlands.
Things to see and do
Lilongwe has been Malawi's capital city since 1975 when President Banda, born just north of the city, gave it its name. Visitors can experience traditional African life in the busy streets of the old town whilst there are a range of western facilities and luxury hotels in the recently modernised city centre. Interesting sites include the State house which is today host to Malawi's parliament, a small nature reserve and the colourful scenes of Malawi's busy street markets.
With a population of half a million, Blantyre is Malawi's largest and busiest city and the country's centre of commerce. Whilst the city is surrounded by sprawling suburbs there are several sites of historic interest in the city centre including Mandala house, the oldest building in Malawi and headquarters for the African Lakes company, the museum of Malawi, the Carlsberg Brewery and St Michael and All Angels Church.
Situated forty miles north of Blantyre lies Zomba, which served as Malawi's capital city before Lilongwe took the title in 1975. The town is marked by signs of colonial settlers, for example a World War 1 memorial clocktower, the residence of the town's former commissioner and the Cobbe Barracks which is home to the famous Malawi Rifles. Also worth visiting are the botanical gardens, the old parliament buildings and, more sombrely, the Mikuyu Jail which saw the death of many political prisoners during the turbulent reign of President Banda.
Lake Malawi is a huge expanse of water covering a fifth of the country's total area. Home to over 600 species of freshwater fish, the lake is an important part of the country's economy and its banks are lined with little fishing villages. Lake Malawi is a popular tourist attraction offering boat trips and a range of watersports and, with depths of up to 700m, it is renowned as one of the best freshwater diving sites in the world.
Malawi boasts nine national parks and game reserves which lie across spectacularly varying terrain. In the north is the highland Nyika Plateau and the marshy Vwasa Reserve. In the central region are the Kasungu and Nkhotakota game parks, both of which are home to the 'big five: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinocerous. Further south in the Shire Lowlands are the Lengwe national park, the Mjete and Mwabvi national parks and most famously the national park of Liwonde. Additionally, to the east of Lake Malawi lies Cape Maclear, the world's first freshwater game reserve. There are numerous tour companies based in Liwonde and Blantyre that offer safaris by boat, 4×4 and horseback.
One of Malawi's most spectacular sites is the bare rock mountain of Mount Mulanje which, at 3000m towers over the country's eastern region. There are marked routes up the mountain and explorer huts situated at notable points. Several tour companies offer guided camping treks up the mountain either by a strenuous rock climb or more gentle walking route. Visitors to the mountain will witness a range of vegetation and wildlife such as antelopes, klipspringer and various species of birds as well as some of the most stunning views in Africa.
Malawi is one of Africa's most visited countries and as a result there is plenty of accommodation in the main cities, particularly in Blantyre and Lilongwe, and along the banks of Lake Malawi. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels to hostels and traditional self-catering lodges surrounding all the main tourist sites. In most of the game reserves there are campsites which also offer various self catering and catered accommodation options.
Useful Resources
Malawi accommodation has a comprehensive list of basic and luxurious accommodation by region.
The British Embassy, Lilowenge offers help and advice for British nationals travelling to Lilawe.
Malawi has two major airports, Lilongwe International Airport 26km north of the city and Chileka Airport which is 13km outside of Blantyre. There are direct flights served by Air Malawi once a week from London to Lilongwe and daily Air Malawi flights to Lilongwe via Nairobi or Johnannesburg. Visitors can also reach the country by road, either from Tanzania, Zambia or Mozambique.
Healthcare issues
Compared to most other African countries, Malawi is considered a relatively safe country and violence against tourists is uncommon. It is advised that visitors are immunised against polio, tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis and take malaria tablets prior to and during travel. Like most African countries Aids is one of the country's most destructive diseases and although Malawi has organisations which deal well with HIV positive citizens, visitors are warned to be cautious if coming into contact with blood or bodily fluids.
There are two large public hospitals in Blantyre and Lilongwe and private hospitals in Lilongwe and Mzuzu. It is advised that visitors take out medical insurance before travelling to cover any emergency treatment needs.

The quality of life of millions of people living in cities could be improved if the form of the city were to evolve in a manner appropriate to its climatic context. Climatically responsive urban design is vital to any notion of sustainability - it enables individual buildings to make use of renewable energy sources for passive heating and cooling, it enhances pedestrian comfort and activity in outdoor spaces and it may even encourage city dwellers to moderate their dependence on private vehicles.
This book bridges the gap between climatology research and applied urban design. It provides architects and urban design professionals with an understanding of how the structure of the built environment at all scales affects microclimatic conditions in the space between buildings, and analyzes the interaction between microclimate and each of the elements of the urban landscape.
'The authors do a marvellous job of bringing together this wide-ranging material and presenting it in a 'matter-of-fact' manner that clearly states the limits of different approaches when used in a prescriptive manner. As practising architects who are immersed in the urban climate research community the authors are well placed to identify and translate the key findings of modern urban climatology into the field of practice. Taken as a whole, this is the only book that links urban climate research findings to the practice of urban design and as such is to be commended.' Gerald Mills, School of Geography, Planning & Environmental Policy, University College Dublin, Ireland and President of the International Association for Urban Climate

Today's "very special" guest on Attack of the Show is Director, Uwe Boll. The controversial figure has become famous for making filmic adaptations of videogames that have collectively not been well received by critics and the gaming community, such as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark and BloodRayne.
Recently, he made a splash by openly condemning Hollywood's lack of originality, slamming top name stars like George Clooney and proclaiming himself a genius. We cannot overstate it enough; for gamers and film fans alike, this is one Loop you will not want to miss!

Robert L. Johnson told CNBC on Monday that African-Americans should give Trump "the benefit of the doubt," and hope agreements can be established with the Republican administration addressing issues facing the black community.
The founder of BET met with Trump on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey. He stated that the discussion was a "great chat" about "business solutions to social problems." Although Johnson had supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the election, he told Trump, "The real question you should be asking is what African-Americans have to gain from your presidency."
"Trump is a business guy, and I think he's going to tilt towards finding a way to use fiscal policy to move the economy forward," he said. "Let's give him a shot. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, see if we can find common ground." "That's what's best for African-Americans," Johnson added.
Johnson quoted Congressional Black Caucus member Bill Clay Sr., a Missouri Democrat that served over three decades in the House saying, "Black Americans should have no permanent friends, and no permanent enemies, just permanent interests." "That's where African-American voters should be" Johnson contended, disregarding all the skepticism the community has against Trump and the republicans. African-Americans have "permanent interests," he said.

Laravel installation needs the Composer to be installed first. As the Composer will resolve the dependencies needs for the Laravel.
Install Composer
Composer is a popular dependency management tool for PHP, created mainly to facilitate installation and updates for project dependencies. It will check which other packages a specific project depends on and install them for you, using the appropriate versions according to the project requirements.
We will use composer to install Laravel and if any dependencies.
First do an update of Ubuntu package manager
sudo apt-get update
Now we need curl to download Composer.
Also we need php5-cli for installing and running Composer from command line.
sudo apt-get install curl php5-cli git
Now to download and install Composer as a system-wide command named composer, under /usr/local/bin execute the following command
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
After the installation check it, everything works fine.
execute the command
if you see the composer version and other info on the command parameters, composer installation is perfect.
Laravel installation
To install Laravel, we shall use the laravel installer, as it is the officially recommended/preferred method
So, execute the command to install
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
This installs the Laravel globally
Laravel has following requirements
Mcrypt PHP Extension
OpenSSL PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
PHP_JSON extension (for some OS distros, we need to install manually)
That's it. we are ready to go. Laravel is setup in your system. You can create new projects using Laravel. for that refer Laravel documentation.
If you use Apache for serving your website, you would need to enable mod_rewrite module.
By default, the Laravel comes with the public/.htaccess file that is used to allow URLs without index.php. If this default file comes with Laravel, does not work with your Apache installation, then create a new .htaccess file with the following contents or make sure your .htaccesss has to he following contents
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

A few days back I dilated the point of my PIG book on modern presidents with a meditation on how deficient most presidential candidates, and the campaigns themselves, are on the Constitution, including even Ron Paul, who at least brings up the subject. My critique of Paul is that his constitutionalism is especially narrow and too literally text-based, i.e., if he doesn't find something in the clearly enumerated powers of Congress in Article I, section 8, he thinks it is presumptively unconstitutional. I posed the hypothetical question of how he would regard the air force: Article I, section 8 mentions armies and navies, but not an air force. Is the air force unconstitutional? What about NASA, which performs many defense functions?
More than one pro-Paul commenter wrote in to suggest the air force would be constitutionally permissible if it was still part of the army, as it in fact originated some decades ago. Really? In that case it would be a simple matter for Obama to qualify Obamacare as constitutional by the simple expedient of having Congress declare every American a member of the "army" (or perhaps use the "militia" clause of the 2nd Amendment?), and require all "army" members to purchase health insurance and extend regulation to "army" health care services. Is this so far fetched? President Eisenhower worried that the interstate highway project was of dubious constitutionality, which is why it was presented as a national defense measure. Problem solved, if all you need to do is satisfy a legal requirement for a specific enumerated power. This won't do.
Beyond the argument on specifically enumerated powers, I have yet to hear Paul rebut the liberals' favorite defense of Obamacare, which is the "necessary and proper" clause. Liberals are invoking this clause, along with the Commerce Clause, to justify the individual mandate in Obamacare. What are Rep. Paul's views on the necessary and proper clause? In what ways should it be qualified and limited?
I think Chief Justice John Marshall provided the right way of thinking about the clause in connection with my hypothetical about an air force or NASA, and how to move beyond narrow text-based literalism, in the McCulloch v. Maryland decision:
Even without the aid of the general clause in the constitution, empowering congress to pass all necessary and proper laws for carrying its powers into execution, the grant of powers itself necessarily implies the grant of all usual and suitable means for the execution of the powers granted. Congress may declare war; it may consequently carry on war, by armies and navies, and other suitable means and methods of warfare. So, it has power to raise a revenue, and to apply it in the support of the government, and defence of the country; it may, of course, use all proper and suitable means, not specially prohibited, in the raising and disbursement of the revenue. And if, in the progress of society and the arts, new means arise, either of carrying on war, or of raising revenue, these new means doubtless would be properly considered as within the grant. Steam-frigates, for example, were not in the minds of those who framed the constitution, as among the means of naval warfare; but no one doubts the power of congress to use them, as means to an authorized end.
No doubt a liberal will find any use of government power to be within the necessary and proper clause, and many courts will rightly not wish to interfere with the determination of the legislative branch on its interpretation of both its enumerated powers and their extension through the necessary and proper clause. This may include, unfortunately, Obamacare, which is why I have thought it a minor mistake to rest the case against it on the narrow grounds of whether the individual mandate violates just the Commerce Clause. This seems to be missing the forest for the trees. How about, for starters, an argument that the entire structure of Obamacare, like most of the administrative state today, violates the constitutional principle of the separation of powers? To be sure, the judiciary long ago gave up recognizing or defending that principle (by signing off on congressional delegation to the executive branch), which is precisely why this constitutional point requires a political rather than a legal argument from candidates and advocates of limited government. Again, it would be interesting to hear candidates asked whether they think Obamacare (or the EPA, or . . .) violates the separation of powers. I don't recall hearing Ron Paul mention this principle. Likewise, I don't recall hearing Paul articulate the founders' theory of individual natural rights which is the philosophical cornerstone of the founders' constitutionalism. For that matter, I don't recall hearing Paul mention the Declaration of Independence; I suspect he dislikes the Declaration for reasons similar to Paleocons.
Newt Gingrich embraces the Declaration and talks about reviving constitutional limits on centralized government power, but then as Jon Adler has pointed out, Newt still defends the Endangered Species Act (among other dubious things), which operates as a gross violation of the principle of the separation of powers. The point is: fighting through the misuse of the necessary and proper clause requires recourse to older and almost forgotten constitutional principles which can only be reacquired by reviving the founders' political philosophy. This involves intelligent discussion of the "authorized end" of government as Marshall meant it in McCulloch. But the GOP field doesn't understand this.


text: So what did you get me? lol j/k. Yep, today I am 26. Not really a whole lot planned. A certain banned/ex member flew down & visited for a bit the other day. That was cool. He brought me some Heineken and Stella Artois (oohh speaking of I should go get one) and we just kind of hung out. Nice to know that some of my friends I have met online would actually spend the time/money on a plane just to come drink a few beers with me. Anyway, so I pretty much plan on relaxing for the day. I have a ton of shit I SHOULD be doing...but damnit it's my birthday and I have just been feeling run dry as of late. So what better day to just relax right? Well, I hope you guys have a relaxing day too... This beer's for you BHW.

An excellent resource for not only mages guilds and training academy's, but helpful for mercenary companies and the hired magical muscle some groups need to acquire form time to time.
As stated, the references to actual mages paints in immediate picture in my mind for each archetype. Brilliantly done. I don't want to think how long this may have taken. I would only recommend that you not exclude The Trickster, The Loki. The Loki is a trickster mage who has emmense power but uses it only to manipulate and deceive for his own amusement or whim. The Loki is pretty much responsible for every bad thing that happens.

Prediction: CHI 14, SF 24
The Bears fall to 4-4 on the season with the beatdown handed them by the visiting Cardinals last week. That makes losing three of the last four for the Bears who once upon a time beat the Steelers (week two). The Bears are only 1-3 on the road. The 49ers are 3-5 and are also on an exploration of what a free fall is like with their own four game losing streak. They are only 2-2 at home. This game is a coin flip but the 49ers are bound to turn it around and this home game is their best shot for the last month.
This is also the first Thursday night game and that too favors the home 49ers on such a short week.
Quarterback: Midway through his first season as a Bear and Jay Cutler has already thrown for 14 touchdowns. Kyle Orton only had 18 in all of last year. But Cutler has brought along a far greater likelihood of turning the ball over and has 12 interceptions on the season. Orton had that many on the entire season. But the Bears still have a shot a winning season and at least they are more interesting when they lose.
The 49ers secondary started the season well but has been only average in recent weeks. They have allowed three passers to top 300 yards and allowed multiple passing scores three times as well. Cutler on the road will need to throw more and should have at least a decent game here. Likely no more than one or two scores but the yardage should end up over 250.
Running Backs: Matt Forte continues on his American Disappointment Tour 2009 with 33 rushing yards against the visiting Cardinals but at least he had a season high six catches for 74 yards. His previous best had only been 40 yards and in road games he has been getting five or six receptions. His rushing yardage has been negligible in all but home games against the Lions or Browns. Those were also the only times he has scored this year.
The 49ers at home have been good against the run and Forte is a terrible runner anyway. Expect a decent yardage total only thanks to catching his five or six standard road receptions.
Wide Receivers: Devin Hester continues to distance himself from the other wideouts and has topped 80 yards in each of the last four games. He is tied with Johnny Knox with three touchdowns on the season. Earl Bennett has been very solid in yardage but never scores. He has been better in the road efforts and against the better teams when Cutler is forced to secondary receivers. Knox has really faded since his hot start and only had one score over the last five games and never more than 44 yards in those weeks.
The 49ers secondary has been really good at home against all but Roddy White but have not faced a good passing attack there either. Look for Hester to have a decent game and be the most likely to score. The #1 receiver is always the most probable to score against the 49ers and Bennett should see an uptick in yardage this week. I am awarding Knox with a score but lower confidence on his touchdown than Hester's.
Tight Ends: Greg Olsen ended a three game drought in a big way when he scored three times against the Cardinals and had a season high 71 yards on five catches. He has become the leading scorer for the Bears but is still inconsistent enough to be a risky play in any given week. The 49ers play far better at home against the tight ends who have not yet scored against them in San Francisco. Olsen could go off any week but this is less likely.
Pregame Notes: After an encouraging start to the season, the 49ers have lost their last four in a row and the last three were by a touchdown or less. The shift to a new quarterback has been positive and that should show up more this week against a softer secondary. The rest of the schedule is going to make ending .500 a big challenge but there are some improvements that are taking hold.
Quarterback: The new Alex Smith had not only scored in each game, he has a total of six touchdowns over his three games. Shaun Hill only managed five scores over six weeks and faced weaker teams than the Colts. This will be the second home game for Smith who passed for 286 yards and two scores against the visiting Titans last Sunday.
The Bears on the road have allowed at least one passing score per opponent and the last two road games gave up seven between the Falcons (2) and the Bengals (5). The last home game had Warner tossing for five scores so the Bears secondary has really been burned in just the last few games. Smith is hard to rely on for more than two scores if that much but the upside is there and the 49ers need to have a "rise up" game soon.
Running Backs: Frank Gore has been pulling his weight in the last two weeks with well over 130 total yards and a score against both the Colts and Titans. That bodes well for the offense that is finding out how to pass again. Remove the games that saw Gore get hurt and return from the injury and he's had six scores in four games played.
Most teams focus on the pass to beat the Bears but Gore has a good shot at another rushing score and decent yardage. The Bears have not faced many decent rushing attacks but had kept opponents below 100 rushing yards until Cedric Benson had 37 carries in week seven. Gore's role as a receiver has taken a definite upturn with Smith as quarterback.
Wide Receivers: Jason Hill has taken over the slot role and had two scores last week for his first significant game in the NFL. Michael Crabtree had eight targets against the Titans but only caught three for 30 yards while Josh Morgan fared even worse. Morgan had been good for decent yardage every week but has disappeared with the emergence of Alex Smith.
Once again, Crabtree is in the position most likely to score against the opponent but that did not count for much last week. I'll credit him with a score but the confidence level is low since he has never scored so far. One wideout should end up with a touchdown.
Tight Ends: Vernon Davis was already becoming an elite tight end and with Alex Smith under center, it only gets better. Davis comes off a ten catch, 102 yard effort against the Titans and scored four times over the previous two games that had Smith as the starter. The Bears have allowed four tight end touchdowns over the last four games. Expect a very nice effort from Davis here with at least one score and possibly both passing touchdowns.

Carnforth Air Quality Management Area (AQMA)
The National Air Quality Strategy for England and Wales has set health-related air quality objectives for eight air pollutants. These objectives have various averaging times and may apply at different locations. For example the annual average objective for the pollutant Nitrogen Dioxide is a concentration in air of 40 microgrammes per cubic metre and this applies only at residential properties.
For seven air pollutants, local authorities must periodically review and assess local air quality to identify any locations where air quality objectives are unlikely to be achieved. An air quality management area (AQMA) must be declared wherever the objectives are unlikely to be achieved by the dates they come into force.
In central Carnforth an Air Quality Management Area has been declared (details below) due primarily to exhaust emissions from road traffic.
|July 2007
|Part of central Carnforth centred on the junction between Market Street (West) and the A6. The Order contains a plan and list of road links.
|Nitrogen Dioxide - annual average objective only
|Road traffic exhaust emissions
An extended network of nitrogen dioxide monitoring points has been running since 2005. A Further Assessment (file size 3MB) technical report has been prepared, informing the draft air quality action plan for Carnforth. The new M6/Heysham link Road opened in October 2016. We are currently monitoring the impact of this change for Carnforth. Revised air quality action arrangements will be included under the Transport Master Plan for Lancaster (available at http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/council/strategies-policies-plans/roads-parking-and-travel/highways-and-transport-masterplans/lancaster-district-highways-and-transport-masterplan.aspx

Halifax Piece Hall closes for renovation work
The Piece Hall in Halifax has closed to allow preparation work ahead of a £19m refurbishment scheme.
Calderdale Council said the two-year project would restore the 18th Century building and add an extension and a new visitors' centre.
The Grade I listed building was opened in 1779 as a trading centre for locally woven cloth.
In the 1970s, it was converted into a tourist attraction with an art galley, museum and shops.
Some of the shops in the complex have closed or relocated.
Calderdale Council's leader, Councillor Tim Swift, claimed the refurbished building would be "a world class heritage destination".
"We're heading into an exciting new chapter for the Piece Hall," he said.
"And I'm really looking forward to seeing it reopen in spring 2016, with its state-of-the-art interpretation and learning centre, shops and businesses and beautiful courtyard."
Calderdale Council has contributed £10m towards the work with another £7m coming from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
A fundraising campaign is to be launched to secure the remaining £2m.
The renovated hall will be part of a larger "cultural quarter" in the town, with a new central library and arts centre.

When the phone networks invested in 3G in 2000, one way they expected to recoup some cash was person-to-person video calling. Sadly for them, despite its popularity elsewhere, video calling has failed to take off in the UK.
This hasn't deterred the mobile operator 3, which is taking video calling to a different dimension with the launch of the Pupillo, a 3G-enabled surveillance camera. The concept is simple: you make a video call to the device - which has its own phone number - and can then see live video footage and hear audio of what is in front of the camera.
The Pupillo concept isn't exactly new - Nokia has had the Observation Camera for years - but with the faster bitrates offered by 3G, 3 claims that the Pupillo's video is much higher quality.
The Pupillo is easy to use. It can run off the mains or a battery, where it offers four hours of call time and 300 hours of standby. Quite how effective it is as a covert filming device is a moot point. It may be small and white but it has a big 3 logo emblazoned on its fascia, just underneath what is very obviously a lens, so would-be felons would probably cotton on fairly quickly.
I rang the Pupillo using a 3 phone and was impressed by the image quality. It is roughly the same level as a 3G video call so, as long as subjects don't move too quickly, you get clear, reasonably sharp footage. Sound quality was also good and we could hear everything going on in the room.
The tricky bit is siting the gadget in the first place. It took a lot of trial and error to set it up so it focused on my chosen target - the dog's bed - which seriously bumped up the phone bill.
The Pupillo is a fun gadget, although users may struggle to find a serious role for it. Sure it will deliver proof that flatmate A has a cavalier approach to borrowing flatmate B's milk, but it lacks the Nokia's motion detection system, which automatically sends an image to the user. This would make it a serious security device. Still, for £150 it is an entertaining little gizmo.

Prominent Lebanese writer and poet, Joseph Harb, dies
Al-Akhbar Management
Published Monday, February 10, 2014
Prominent Lebanese writer and poet Joseph Harb passed away late Sunday night after a long battle with an undisclosed illness. He was 70-years-old.
Harb was well-known for writing the lyrics of many songs for Lebanese diva Fairouz.
احد اهم اسماء الشعر الغنائي في الوطن العربي والاول في لبنان ، الكبير #جوزيف_حرب يغادر عالمنا ليلة البارحه pic.twitter.com/0w5nwGqc3N
— [ النااااايف ] (@alnaiiiif) February 10, 2014
One of the most important names of musical poetry in the Arab world and the first in Lebanon, the great Joseph Harb left the world last night.
Harb was born on 1944 in the town of al-Maamrieh in the Zahrani region of south Lebanon, and he spent most of his youth between the cities of Jbeil, Batroun, and Beirut.
He started his education at the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts school in Jbeil first, and then the Antoine Institute. In his early twenties, he began teaching in Dekwaneh while studying Law and Arts at the university.
Once he graduated, he opened up a private library and began practicing law. During the 1960s, he produced a large number of poems, stories, and philosophical articles. In 1960, he published his first book, "Virgin Structures." Then in 1966, he entered into Lebanese radio, by becoming a presenter for the program, "With the Sunset."
He wrote a number of screenplays for television shows, including, "Ash and Salt", "And the End of Time," "The Arabs Said," and more.
He met Ziad Rahbani and Fairouz in 1976, and soon after the Rahbani brothers wanted to use his poetry for their songs that they wanted to present in a show in Jordan. Fairouz sang more than 16 songs based off his poetry, including: "The Bride's Bracelet," "For Beirut," "When at the Door," "And so we forget."
In 1998 and 2004, he was elected as the head of the Lebanese Writers' Union. In 2006, he published, "The Inkwell," which is considered to be the biggest poetry collection in the modern Arab history. The book is composed of 1,750 pages and printed by Dar al-Rees.
Throughout his life, he has received a number of awards and accolades in Lebanon and the region.

St Catherine blow away St Elizabeth in final
St Catherine Cricket Club captured their fourth hold on the Jamaica Cricket Association 50 Overs title after registering a seven-wicket win over St Elizabeth Cricket Association in the final at Up Park Camp yesterday.
Set a modest 155 to win after restricting St Elizabeth to 154, St Catherine coasted to 155 for three on the back of a boundary-filled unbeaten 81 from opener Shacaya Thomas.
The hard-hitting right hander, who represented the Combined Campuses and Colleges last season in regional first-class cricket, slammed 11 fours during his knock.
He was best supported by
former national Under-19 batsman, Oraine Williams, who scored 21, and shared in a 63-run opening stand, and Peat Salmon, who ended not out on 17.
comfortable chase
Tamar Lambert, 17, and captain Danza Hyatt, nought, were the other batsmen to be dismissed.
"I would say well played to my team for the way we went out there and executed our game," said Hyatt.
"I think we bowled extremely well, and thanks to Shacaya we were able to comfortably chase our target."
Earlier, St Elizabeth, who were asked to take first strike after losing the toss, were kept in their tracks by Odean Brown, Salmon, and Lambert.
Brown claimed three for 11, Salmon, bowling part-time off-spin, three for 21, and Lambert, two for 40.
This was against captain Damian Ebanks, who after hitting six fours made 35, Daniel Ricketts 26, and Findlay 19.
"We played poorly, really poorly today," said Ebanks.
"We did not bat well as we were looking to score somewhere about 250 runs. But congrats to St Catherine, they outplayed us and deserved to win."
St Catherine, who in winning also finished unbeaten after eight matches, copped the championship trophy as well as $500,000, while St Elizabeth collected $250,000.

DCAL did not have 'proper authority' to authorise cross-border grants
The head of the Audit Office has said a Stormont department did not have the proper authority to pay more than £8m to two cross-border bodies.
Kieran Donnelly highlighted the issue in the latest annual accounts of the Dept of Culture, Arts and Leisure.
He said it incurred an "irregular spend" in relation to grants to Waterways Ireland and to the North/South Language Body.
He said the outlay did not have the approval of the finance minister.
But, writing in the accounts, a senior civil servant from the Dept of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) disputed this.
Discussions about efficiency savings had been taking place between the two departments.
In June, during Assembly questions, the DCAL minister Carál Ní Chuilín of Sinn Féin, said she had taken advice on the issue and declared the spending "legal".
She told MLAs she had been refusing to implement "additional cuts".
The Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister described Mr Donnelly's position as "an important development".
He accused Ms Ní Chuilín of "challenging the authority" of the DUP Finance Minister, Simon Hamilton.
"The law requires her to get his approval, so what will he do now to ensure she complies," he asked.
Waterways Ireland had been given a grant of £3.2m and the North/South Language Body received a grant of £5.2m.
Finance Minister Simon Hamilton said it was "unacceptable for departments to incur irregular spend".
"My department has written to departmental accounting officers to remind them of their responsibilities, including the need for regularity and propriety in spending," he said.
"DFP (Department of Finance and Personnel) will enforce the requirement to have business plans and grants approved before the start of the period to which they relate. DFP will continue to monitor the position closely."

I believe in taking the risk.
I suppose a time where I took a risk that got me in trouble was in the middle of an eighth-grade class, we were all done with a test and just sitting quietly. I said something random which seemed funny to most people. It broke the silence. The silence was shattered, and my safe zone was vulnerable. I wasn't being quiet and staying out of trouble.
The risk wasn't a big one, but I got in trouble.
This next risk is bigger in safety. My friend, Tony, and I aren't the smartest or the safest people in the world, but we know when we need to up the anty. It was the three-day break in between the first blizzard and the second one that was coming. The air was bitterly cold and the streets were frozen from the below-zero weather. It was 10:22 p.m., and I said to Tony lets do something more fun instead of sitting and letting the seconds of our lives pass by. So, we bundled up and went to retrieve my sleds from the dark abyss of my basement.
We started off the steep downhill street, just sitting on the sleds. I lift myself to my knees, and then to my feet, going around the curves and dodging the ice blocks in the middle of the street. We did this seven times until Tony and I got a scare.
Tony was sledding down when a snowplow appeared from thin ice and Tony couldn't stop, so he lunged off the sled and saved himself and my sled.
This sledding deal was a big risk for little people like Tony and I.
But the biggest hazard in my risk-taking life happened when I mailed my applications letter to a prestigious local Catholic high school. My K-8 school had been my safe house, the familiar faces and familiar education style and now high school is just the next flight of stairs I need to jump.
New friends, new teachers. But the biggest risk about high school is this: How is high school going to treat me, lead me, or live in me for the next four years?
My belief is only for those who are willing to take matters into their own hands. I wasn't always a risk-taker. I would obey my parents or my elders, but then I got tired of it. I just believe if it's worth the risk to get something, then take the risk. Nothing will ever be given to me for free. I have to earn it – by taking the risk.
This I believe.

Last May we wrote about music streaming service Mflow and what affects the then new Spotify social features would have on the fledgling application.
Mflow have recently updated their offering and released a brand new web-based application which is currently rocking along quite nicely in beta.
The first thing you notice about the service is the tweaked interface which is now cleaner and more intuitive to use.
However, what is very cool about the update is the use of HTML5 to build the service. It means that you can use any browser and Mflow will work with ease, making your experience identical no matter what your preference.
Now, the big thing for Mflow users is the credit system; recommend music that your friends then buy, and you get rewarded with credits to purchase your own music. It's a great concept that encourages sharing and of course gives the artists something in return. With 5 million songs in Mflow's catalogue, that's a heck of a lot of music to get sharing.
The major difference with their main competitor Spotify, is the lack of ads or subscription fees — a business model built on user-sharing is a brave one indeed.
And it's also good to see that the folks at Mflow have a sense of humour — remember that 'make an album cover' meme? They've included it as a bit of functionality under 'Fun', nice touch.
What will be interesting to see is how Mflow will work with the major labels to help distribute music as soon as it's released, as per the recent announcement that as soon as music hits the airwaves, it'll be available to purchase online, a change from the airplay-to-build-interest model that has always been in place.
Overall, making Mflow available through a browser is a smart move and again helps to offer something a little different to the other streaming services currently in the marketplace.

The Chicago Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer reports Chicago Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild said the Cubs are monitoring SP Carlos Zambrano's innings, not his right shoulder. The team will ease him into a workload of spring games that won't start until the second time through the rotation.

Ballantine's : Loud Blue
A soundtrack for your Instagram snaps.
Editor's Pick
Whisky brand Ballantine's and agency Work Club are launching a website and social media project, LoudBlue, that adds musical soundtracks to people's Instragram shots. Users take an Instagram photo, tagging it #LoudBlue, share it on Twitter, and receive a link back from @loudblue to a unique piece of music that is supposed to represent their image. The system uses an algorithm to analyse data from photographs to trigger different musical genres and sounds.
Loud Blue is first launching this month in Brazil in partnership with local DJ duo Felguk, with a planned rollout to other markets over the next two years. As well as creating the music, Felguk will also produce a song sampling users' Loud Blue photo-track creations, inspired by the photographic theme "My Brazil". The project and partnership will be launched at a live event where Felguk will play the track to fans. The project is a continuation of Ballantine's "Leave An Impression" themed campaign through Work Club.

1) Not a 1/12 scale dollhouse. It's just a little bit bigger, like my Dad's dollhouse.
2) No front door, no windows, and no stairway.
3) Made from particle board instead of hardwood.
1) Unfinished inside, so I can finish it to my liking.
2) Includes two boxes of 1970s dollhouse furniture and accessories worth much more than what I paid for everything.
3) Lightweight and not too big--good size for a simple project.
4) Price. I got it for $30!
As you can see, the outside is pretty clean. There are just a few missing shingles that I'll have to replace. The yellow shutters are cute. I'll add a front door to it.
Inside, I plan to do a white basecoat all over, except in the children's bedroom, which is already wallpapered in a fabulous funky 1970s red and white gingham paper.
After the basecoat, I'll wallpaper the inside of the house with funky 1970s-style wallpapers and cover the floors with colorful matching felt. I even found a brown fuzzy felt that looks like shag carpeting! Super fun!
The furniture and accessories that came with the house are great! I've moved a few of the pieces into my Dad's dollhouse. The rest of the pieces are so 1970s fun and funky!
The kitchen has a ceiling lamp from that era (currently sitting on the table in the picture below), a cute radio on the counter, and a metal painted dish set in the cabinet.
The livingroom has a modern-style fireplace, the bookcase with books that I always wanted as a child (yes, the same exact model!) with separate blocks of wooden books that slip into each shelf of the bookcase, and my favorite find (which actually came with the second dollhouse I'll tell you about later), this 1970s stereo turntable with record and disco record album sleeve. Isn't it cute?!
As you can see, there is a miniature family (mom, dad, two older kids, and one baby) from 1978 too! When I complete the house, I may sell it to someone who appreciates vintage retro style or who has a child who would enjoy playing with it. I'm really looking forward to decorating the walls and floors of this dollhouse in the style of that era. Maybe it takes me back to my childhood a little bit! Fun! ;-)
So that is the grand tour of the first dollhouse I bought, which I'm calling the 1970s house. Next, I'll show you the second dollhouse I bought and tell you what I intend to do with it. More fun! Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer

Netop has integrated its Live Guide live chat software with Zendesk, a customer service platform that enables support agents to receive, process, and respond to service requests.
This powerful combination enables Live Guide users to serve customers faster, using all the advantages of integrated text and video chat, rapid ticket creation, and with more reporting tools to help managers fine tune help desk operations.
When a customer engages a help desk representative with Live Guide, fast, face-to-face service is only the beginning. By taking advantage of the integration with Live Guide, Zendesk-powered teams will be able to use Netop's remote access and remote view tools to quickly diagnose and address customer issues. Agents will be able to create tickets from within the operator console. And with Live Guide, service desks experience rapid gains in efficiency. Operators can handle three to four times greater contact volume through online chat than over the phone.
Even if customers choose to fill out an offline form, Live Guide enables them to automatically generate Zendesk tickets.
"By integrating Live Guide with Zendesk, we're putting a strong and agile tool set, [including] real-time text, audio, and video chat, remote access and remote view capabilities, customer case histories, rapid ticket creation, and cross team communication, in agents' hands for faster first-call resolution rates. That's what superior customer service is all about," said Kurt Bager, CEO of Netop, in a statement.
And behind the scenes Live Guide gives service managers additional tools to evaluate and improve upon the performance of individual campaigns, departments and operators. The integration also allows Zendesk case histories and customer information to be accessed by agents by entering Zendesk information right in the Live Guide console.
"The combination of Zendesk's cloud-based customer service software together with the tools available in Live Guide provides a great way for companies to deliver superior customer support," said Conan Reidy, vice president of business development at Zendesk, in the statement.

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party vice president Muktar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday said the battle for second position in the 2014 general elections is between the Congress Party and the Aam Aadmi Party, suggesting that there was no doubt in his mind that the BJP will emerge as the top contender to form the next government
Talking to ANI, Naqvi described the poll competition for second spot as being between Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi as the "Maalik" or "Master", and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal as the "Mohra" or "Pawn".
He also said that as far as the poll scene or outcome in Uttar Pradesh was concerned, it was now evident that both the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) and the opposition Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) are suffering for extending support to and saving a corrupt Congress regime.
Naqvi`s comment came as Rahul Gandhi`s is campaigning in Varanasi today for Congress candidate Ajay Rai, who is pitted against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal.
The roadshow started from Gol Gadda area of Varanasi and will extend for about 11 kilometres. The Congress supporters had already gathered before the Congress vice president arrived.
Senior Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mukul Wasnik are accompanying Rahul.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is also scheduled to hold a rally in Varanasi today.

Toxic | Garbage Island | VBS.TV
ABOUT GARBAGE ISLAND For years we've been reading about a patch of garbage the size of Texas floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, ingeniously dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Basically, any trash that gets dumped in the water rides the currents to this one spot and joins an ever-increasing flotilla of crap. For all the breathless accounts of the mess and its impact on the area's sealife, however, no one seemed to have a picture of the buildup.

For those who may not know all of the text and internet slang out there (honestly, I have to look most of it up myself), the term "smh" typically means "shaking my head" and is used when someone finds something so stupid or ridiculous that words don't do it justice. Another popular term used for a moment like this is "facepalm" which is well illustrated by the image to the right.
Well, over the past couple of days I have been having what I can't quite call just a single smh or facepalm moment, but perhaps an overall revelation that has made me feel pretty much exactly like Bill Cosby does in this picture.
I have been "using" Find A Grave off and on for a few years, but I have to admit that I have never used it very "religiously" because much of what I had found in the few searches I did really wasn't anything of significance. For most of my relatives, I was finding just basic memorials that had no real information, or only had information that I had already proven through pretty exhaustive research. So I never spent much time on the site. I created a profile a few months ago with the intention of trying to give back and fulfill some local requests here in Florida, but even that never really materialized.
That view of Find A Grave dramatically changed this week.
On a whim this week, I started to seriously use the website. I requested the transfer of several family members' memorials to me for management; I started uploading the gravestone pictures that I have in my picture library; I made numerous editing suggestions to memorials, and what really led to my facepalm was I did a few searches that I had never tried before.
All of a sudden, I started to stumble across information that I had not found anywhere else! I was finding references to maiden names for female ancestors. I found names of parents that had completely and totally eluded me up to this point on my lesser-researched lines.
Why had I not done this sooner?!?!?!
I find myself sitting here now looking at the 5 elements of the GPS, and I am staring at #1 (Reasonably exhaustive research). I now realize that I have been overlooking what should have been a very basic research item!
If you haven't used Find A Grave in a while, or you don't contribute to it much, I sincerely urge you to go back to the site and dive in. What you find may help you out, but probably more importantly, what you can contribute may help out someone like me who just hadn't been looking closely until now.

As actors, we all need a website. Yeah, we have an IMDB page and an Actors Access profile but we all need our own space on the web. Something that shows casting directors and agents (even family and friends) what makes us unique and will help promote your career.
As an actor, I know exactly what you need when it comes to creating a website to showcase your career. From a custom design, headshot galleries, demo reels and social media integration, we can make a website that is uniquely you.
Website Examples
Custom Made Websites
As casting director Heidi Levitt said when I interviewed her:
"I think that [actors] still have to really work hard to distinguish yourself but I think as an actor today, you can utilize all of these different tools and try and get yourself out there. You know somebody sending me a fantastic website, that's really going to be helpful. The problem is most actors still haven't sort of caught up with what they can do with that technology today. It's hard. I understand. A lot of people have websites but they are not good. I would rather see something that's good. Something that shows who you are rather than this glitzy, over fluffed up picture and then a website that looks really cheesy."
Each site we create will be custom designed for you and only you!
Custom Website Design Pricing
As an actor, I also know how little money we tend to have so I've tried to price my websites so it won't kill you and your bank account. The pricing below is for our custom made actor websites.
Only $450!
5 page site (Home, Demo, Resume, Headshots Gallery, Contact)
** $300 Down Payment is Required **
Also included: I'll also help and guide you into getting your domain name, cheap site hosting and showing you how to add updates to your actor website.
If you need more pages and something more added, let us know and we can work on the price.
One thing we won't do: Add Music. Why? Casting Directors and Agents want to see your site. Most want to see it quickly and have it easily accessible. Imagine a casting director opening your site in a quiet office, they pull it up and your favorite song blasts through their speakers. They'll hit exit faster than you can imagine.
Even if you don't choose our designs, I suggest you stay away from companies that you have to pay a monthly (non-hosting) fee. Those sites, you don't own anything. No graphics or designs. Which means if you want to move to another company, you have to start from scratch.

The culture of having a fish tank or aquarium at home has been embraced by many. Many install fish tanks at their homes mostly for decoration purpose. The types of fish you rear in your aquarium also brings that spangling effect because of their appearance or variety of colors. You have to put a lot of things into consideration before choosing the right fish for your tank. Gold fish is the most-reared breed in most aquariums.
New fish tank owners may be worried about how to take care of their fish, but with helpful basic care tips from the Pure Goldfish website, your problems are well-solved. Maintaining a fish tank can be expensive and labor intensive for most people, but all this requires your time and attention. Besides being a tool of decoration, aquariums are also said to be of health benefits. Installing a fish tank in your home can be a contributing factor to your health as explained below.
Lowering stress
Having an aquarium in your home can bring the relieving effect to one after a long day's hustle. Having an attentive look at the motion of fish in the aquarium or the dancing sea weeds can bring relaxation to one's mind reducing stress. A soothing effect can also be achieved by the gaggling of water bubbles in a fish tank. Those suffering from stress and anxiety are advised to install a fish tank at their homes or visit an aquarium in a marine park within.
Reducing blood pressure
Scientific studies have shown that watching fish swim back and forth in clear waters can help reduce blood pressure and lower heart rate. The marine environment in an aquarium can also lower the rate of your heartbeat. Increased numbers of fish in a fish tank makes one attentive which improves their state of mind or feeling. This lowers the chances of one experiencing shock improving their heartbeat rate. Viewing an empty tank can also lower the rate of your heartbeat by a certain percentage.
Healing effects
The main reason why fish tanks are installed in hospital waiting bays, dental care centers or children centers is because of the effects brought about by aquariums before any medical procedure is conducted. This enables many patients to experience less pain during and after a particular procedure is conducted. The anxiety levels of a patient drop by a certain percentage because of the soothing effect brought about by watching the activities taking place in an aquarium. It is, therefore, advisable for one to visit an aquarium before undergoing any nerve wracking procedure.

Chavan-led Pratham aims to ensure that every child is in school and learning well. It works across urban and rural India, mobilising volunteers to execute low-cost solutions to maximize government efforts.
The main goal of the Skoll Foundation, set up in 1999, is to pursue the vision of a sustainable world of peace and prosperity. Each year the Skoll Foundation chooses a select group of social entrepreneurs and their organizations working around the world in the areas of tolerance and human rights, health, environmental sustainability, peace and security, and economic and social equity.
In conjunction with this award, Pratham will receive a three-year USD 1,235,000 grant from the Skoll Foundation to create an institution dedicated to identification, training, and nurturing of leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs who will not only continue to run Pratham programs around the country but who will also independently build new ideas and strengthen efforts in the area of education in the country.
"Madhav Chavan is transforming India's approach to children's literacy and education," said Sally Osberg, President and CEO of the Skoll Foundation.

What It Is
Apple's new fall lineup of iPhones.
What It Does
Apple retools the looks of its popular smartphone line, adding some new features and one eye-popping new price.
Where to Buy It
What It Costs
Apple iPhone 5c: $99 (with contract, 16GB), $199 (with contract, 32GB)
Apple iPhone 5s: $199 (with contract, 16GB), $299 (with contract, 32GB), $399 (with contract, 64GB)
For at least two decades now, Apple has had the reputation of the ultimate "boutique" company—the place you buy from when you want the swankiest products, regardless of how much they cost you. (Though, of course, you got more than a little productivity along with your style points.) And in the arts, as in many creative fields, there's a real cachet attached to the products that guarantees you convey a certain image every time you pull out your iPhone.
But it would seem that even Apple is susceptible to market pressure, as it proved last week with its release of its new iPhone 5c. Sporting a plastic (sorry, "polycarbonate") chassis, available in a dazzling array of Technicolor hues, and an apparently wallet-friendly price of just $99, this looked to be the iPhone you'd buy if you couldn't afford—or didn't want to splurge on—an iPhone before now.
The price is the first hiccup. It doesn't actually cost just $99—that's what you pay merely for the phone (and only in its 16GB version—you'll need to shell out $199 for 32GB.) You still have to factor in your carrier contract. Prefer an unlocked model? You can nab one of those—for $549. Uh, it doesn't sound quite so cheap anymore, does it?
There are other things you don't get with the 5c as well: the new fingerprint sensor, cool shooting modes on a more powerful (8-megapixel) camera, and 64-bit dual-processing capabilities Apple has also announced as parts of the iPhone 5s. This phone rings in at $199-$399 (depending on how much storage you want), off-contract, but gives you a bit more flash for your money. It's metal, available in shiny finishes of gold, silver, and "space gray." So this is the iPhone to choose if you're looking for a brag-worthy handset that kills as both a smartphone and a status symbol.
That's not for nothing, either, considering the skyrocketing popularity of Android over the last couple of years—that platform's defining products (most notably from Samsung) have been consistently gaining loyalty even while flaunting what is often flimsier construction. The 5s shows Apple's commitment to its existing user base; the 5c shows Apple trying to expand to a new one.
But do you need either new phone? If you're happy with the iPhone you have, not really. The 5s is but an incremental upgrade over the standard 5, and the 5c is no upgrade at all. If you want new and exciting from Apple, this time you're probably better off waiting around for another year.

An ancient way of determining when a person had died was to hold a mirror under the person's nostrils to detect any trace of moist air indicating that there was still some breath of life. Before modern methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a person who had stopped breathing was simply allowed to slip away. In today's Gospel, the risen Christ reinfuses the breath of life into the constricted lungs of the believing community, releasing them from the fear that choked their ability to breathe together and to live fully for his mission.
The frightened disciples are gathered behind locked doors "for fear of the Jews." In the aftermath of Jesus' execution, their fear is understandable—will they be next? In the fourth Gospel, "the Jews" is code language for anyone who does not believe in and who opposes Jesus, even though Jesus himself and all his first disciples are Jews. The object of their fear is those who are like them in heritage yet not like them in terms of belief in Jesus.
Sometimes what we fear most is seeing that which we do not want to face in ourselves reflected in "the other." Into the midst of this fearful space Jesus enters, inviting his disciples to accept the peace he desires for them. It is not a peace that ignores the brutality inflicted on him, as he shows them the still visible wounds. It is a peace that recognizes full well the horror of what has occurred and results from a willingness to enter into processes of healing, forgiveness and reconciliation rather than retaliatory violence. An ability to see the wounds differently, not as something that needed to be avenged but as something that Christ was already able to heal with his peace and his spirit, enables the disciples to let their fear give way to joy.
What results is a rebirth of the community. Just as the Creator brings to life the first human being by breathing into its nostrils (Gn 2:7), so the risen Christ brings back to life the frightened community of his followers. This is not a painless process.
Recently, a friend suffered a collapsed lung. The intense pain he experienced when the lung was reinflated may be akin to the difficult process of transformation that Jesus' disciples had to undergo. Before his death, Jesus spoke to them about this pain as birthpangs that would give way to joy when the new life emerged (Jn 16:20-22).
For some this rebirth takes place on the first day of the week after the resurrection. But not all are present and not all are moving to the same rhythm. The next week there are still some who are locked in their fear and who set up what may appear impossible conditions before they will come to believe. Thomas voices their doubts: They need to see with their own eyes and touch with their own hands. It is not so much a stubborn resistance to believe what others have experienced that Thomas expresses as it is the necessity for each one to come to faith through a direct, personal encounter with Christ.
There can be no secondhand faith. The testimony of other believers leads one to Jesus, but it does not substitute for the tangible experience of Christ needed by each one. The Gospel also allows that there are different ways that people come to faith: some through seeing, some without. Both are blessed. No matter how one comes to believe, it is with a "conspiratory" faith community—people who "breathe together" through the Spirit, who dissolves fear by the use of peace, forgiveness and reconciliation.
